ment i to injure no man ; and to give to ail their dne ; and yet these virtues may probably be comprised in that coneise Scriptural precept , " Do unto others as yon -would be Gone nnto " Justice has ever claimed the reverence of mankind : represented among the ancients as a goddess , sacrifice and -worship -were offered at her shrine ; -when embodied in a hnman form , her eyes ^ rere coTered , for Justice is blind to distinctions of rani , of power , and of fortune ; Ehe recognises no difference between the peasant and the peer , bnt , like death , levels all to her
own standard . She helda drawnsword , for Justice , though slow to resolre , should be swift to execute her sentence , when resolved . In the other , hand ¦ were a pair of scales , because she weighs with scrupulous exactness the trne nature of the offence , and , in proportion to its evil ejects , does she mete out the punishment . To do justly is a dnty enforced by natural and by rerealed law ; it is one declared , not creeled , by oar Great Charter ; and it is one binding upon every nation , in ^ ry ag e , and in every country . - "
Whether our own land be fortunate in this respect , we « aa fean * i > y anaipSng vor text , observing its tendency , and remarking how it has been , and how it is , obeyed . "Wewill not sell justice ; " we will not barter for gold that blessing which has been given to us from Heaven to dispense to onr fdlowcreaiures j we will not bestow , as a favour , what-all may demand as a right , nor set a price upon "that gem which ia above all prjee , and which , being sold , would deprive the poor , who most need the gift , of its influence . And yet it was sold ; but those who thus violated the laws of God and man were severely
punished . In the reign of Edwxrd the First , among other judges fined for corruption , and other mal-practices , we find Sr Bxuph Hesghajc , Chief Justice of the lung ' s Bench , -was sentenced to pay 7 , 000 marts ; Sir Adjjc Stketton , Chief Baron of the Exchequer ; 34 , 000 marks ; and Thomas Wxtulxd , Chief Justice of the Common Pleas , was attainted of febny , abjured the realm , and forfeited the whole of his estates . The whole amount of forfeitures , at this period , was upwards of 100 , 000 mark ? , or 70 , 000 pounds ; an incredible sum in those days before paper credit was in use , and when the annual aalary of a-Chief Justice was only sixty marks . —
( Black . Com . v . 3 , p . 409 . ) In the reign of EDwxaD tie Third , a more signal triumph was gained over injnsiice by the banging of Chief Justice Thokf for br ibery , and during the days of James the First , the immortal Bacos , whose genius was clouded by an avaricious and intemperate ambition , was convicted of receiving presents for the administration of jns&ee ,-and was sentenced io _ paya fine of £ 40 , 000 , to be imprisoned in the Tower during the King s pleasure , to be for ever incapable of any office , and never again to sit in Parliament , or come within the verge of the Court . By 11 Hes . IT . all Judges and royal officers convicted of bribery shall forfeit treble the bribe , be punished at the Bang ' s w ill , and be discharged from his service forever .
At . the present day , the irm ^ ^ of our Charter is grossly -riolatedjibr justice h sold at so high a valuation , that the poor man cannot afford to buy his rights . There are few hardships attended by greater injuries , than that which debars a man from claiming Us dnesj-fceeasse he has no money . -It is true tli&t \ fee may see , as a pauper , but how few are willing to teH iheir poverty to the world , and even then expenses will accrue . Our laws require altera-Mon in this respect most urgently , for now the man with riches maygain his suit , by the power of keeping his groundand taking the cause from conri to court
while themanwithont money must either submit to be ¦ wronged "by Ms opponent or to W ruined bv his lawyer . ** We will not deny justice , " for it is a right of free men , which we dare not take away . In accordance with this rule have been the sevare penalties denounced against magistrates refusing the Habeas Corpus toany prisoner . Our judicial officers too frequenthf forget the high responsibility of the trust reposed is . them , and we cannot better prove our assertion ihasi by citing the case of the unfortunate Cokes , & poor boy , only fifteen yeare of age , and . withont the lightest education , who has just
"been sentenced io . transportation for life (! j being found guilty of Tnafl ? la * ighter . His case had many more extenuating circumstances than that of Medhubst , who besides was a gentleman of fortune / of more mature years and liberal edncation , bnt who -R-as sentenced to imprisonment for tteo years in the House of Correction ! "We do not say £ be latter penalty was not sufficiently severe , but we do say that the former was creel , inconsistent with the spirit of our laws , with equity , and with mercv . We shall not , however , lose Eight of this flagrant case , in which justice has been denied to the poor aad friendles , -
"We will not delay justice , " for injuries should be repressed with alacrity , and wrongs , to be deitroyed efficiently , should be rooted np before they have attained a . formidable and hnrtfnl jjroTrth . The preservation- of justice , in all her parity . 13 essential to the well-being of our Etate , and to the happiness and security of its members .

Above all , she should jjo hand in hand with mercy ; for & - ? ivro qualiiies combined form that noble ailrli-nte of the . Almighty ^ which has been given for man io imitate ^ ndadore .

* solts -which he baa endured rush into his memory , and conquer eTory dictate of reason . In consoqnenM of these foolish denunciation * and of the misconduct of those who had the superintendenoe of relief , the indigent were speedily rodueed to great distress . Yarious plans wero invented for their amelioration ; among others , the establishment of a herring fishery , to carry off the superabundant hands , was proposed , and though at that time rejected , it has since been made a source of much profit . In 1622 appeared a pamphlet , entitled Greevous Grorics for the Poore , done by a well-Tmher . " There is a homely proverb , " if-wishes Were horses beggars salts -which he baa ndnred rush into his memory , i ___ _ .. _ j' i- »_ _* :- t .
would nde , and perhap » this well-wishing gentleman fancied such an effect would attend his desires . The author of this tract complains that the poor laws though excellent , were not well administered . This seems to have been the case ; avarice , interest , negligence , and often cruelty combined todefrandthennfoxtnnate of their rights , and hen « o this class rapidly increased in misery aud numbers . He also says that the poor maimed soldiers and others " are turned forth to travail in idleness ( the highway to hell ) and seeke theire meat * upon meares ( as the proverbe goethe ) wiih begging , filching , stealing , foi their maintenance , until the law bringeth them unto the fearful end of hanging . "
The year 1630 was one of great dearth and a proclamation issued to the inhabitants of London ordering them to abstain from their usual meals , to restrain their appetites , and particularly to observe all fast days that " they may , out of that which shall be saved by their sober and moderate diet , charitably and bountifully employ ; some good proportion towards the relief of those who shall be in penury and want , and would be glad to be refreshed
with the meanest of that food , which is superfluously spent in rich mea ' s houses . " This was rot considered an uncommon command at that time , when sumptuary laws wero frequently enacted , when the length of the shoes , the quality of the dress , and even the material for a night cap were prescribed by the Legislature ; but nevertheless it must have been of serious import to the sturdy Londoners , whose noblest and fairest dames generally breakfasted upon beef and ale .
In 1646 a tract appeared— " Stanlbte ' s Remedy for Beggars , TMevee , &c , by Mr . STANLCTB ,-BOmetlmea an Inn ' s of Court gentleman , afterwards by lewd company , became a highway robber , having his life pardoned , loathes his wicked course of life . " " Idleness and prodigalitie , " he says , "being the grand causes of porertie , it is Terie lamentable , that poore rogues and beggars should be whipped and branded according to law and otherwise punished , because they do not work , when no place is provided for them to set them to work . "
The 13 and 14 c . 2 now received the royal assent , and is considered the chief enactment with regard to settlements , which , it sets forth , are to be gained by birth , inhabitancy , apprenticeship , or service of forty days , within such period all intruders may be removed to the last place of their legal settlement , unless they rented a tenement at annual value of . £ 10 . This was a flagrant violation of liberty , for a man not guilty of any offence is certainly entitled to reside wherever he may choose , and the injustice was equalled by the impolicy , for they who could not find sufficient employment in one place , were thus prohibited from Beeking another market for their labour .
Jlany unimportant acts on this subject quickly succeeded each other , and many works were written with the charitable design of improving the state of the unfortunate . In 1 G 7 S a letter to Archbishop Tillotsos , was published by Mr . Fiasn 5 , in which the writer says that he built a house for Borne poor persons and directed flax to be given to them , which they were to spin , and to receive money according to their labour ; a plan , - which he proposes as -worthy of general execution . He declare * that tho only way to provide for onr poor is to find work for them at their own homes , whichthoughneverso mean and homely ,
he eays , are more desired than any other place , and he is decidedly against public workhouses . In these sentimeuts there is much of truth and justice . — " Home ,-sweethome , " is an exclamation , that will find a response in every breast . Domestic aud social pleasures are superior to all others ; they should be cherished most carefully , and an " Englishman ' s fireside '—should be emblematic of -comfort and tranquillity . The traveller in a foreign land , the ma . Tinp . Tin the deep , the soldier away from his native soil , all ardently desire again to see their much loved home , and why should the poor labourer and the aged mechanic , who , perhaps , require the tender care of their children , be denied this high gratification .
Few proofs demonstrate the importance and difficulty of thLs branch in our laws , more than the fact of eo many immortal names being enrolled in the cause , and of so many great men being impelled to this subject by justice and humanity . Thus Lord Hals has left on record his ideas on this particular theme ; Lockb deserted his scientific researches , and regarded the wants of the lowly ; De Fob and FiEU > rs'G , who delighted to dwell in the realms of fiction , could descend to facts ana details for the service of the poor ; while in more recent times we find even poets , Ckabeb and Wordsworth , notdisdainSng to join in the good "work . For the present we leave our reader * in such good company , and shall return to the subject in our next .

THE . FAT BUCK OF SHEFFIELD—SHOKT NOTICES—SMOKING AUDIENCES-THTfNDERING APPLAUSE—UNCOMMON EXCITEMENT , AND PROGRESS OF CHARTISM . That rattling , splashing , dashing , good-humoured , good-natured , leather-headed , good-for-nothing kind of a fellow , George Hbsbt Wakd , the Downingstreet man-of-all-work—the Whig prophet of past events—the Whig advertiser of barracks , ordnance stores , and game-lists—the portrait painter of Wellington , Peel , and Russell—the proprietor ,
clipper , reporter , editor , and machinist of the Weekly Chronicle—the purveyor of venison to the Master Cutler—and the member for the Whigs of Sheffield , ha 3 recently thought proper to comment upon the reports of publio meetings published in the Star . He has had the unmanly effrontery to do that as » journalist , Trhich , in his coward soul , he knows he dare not do as a man without the . fool's cap . He has told us more than once that we lied—he has asserted that our reports of- meetings were falsehooda—and we this -week present him with a smoking report
untiring audiences , unbounaed applause , uncommon excitement , and « uccesi of the cause . We tell him to look at Sheffield and . tremble ! Wo tell him to think of Dewsbury , Manchester , Rochdale , Stockport , and other places—meetings from which a report in our number of this weektvill befound , and to answer them . This puling creature thought he had discovered a mare ' s nest , when he fathered and adopted an article which appeared in the Manchester Chronicle relative , to the decreasing circulation of the Northern Star . We can prophecy after event * as well 33 the Downing-street soothsayer ; and we are now enabled to tell him , that which the Stamp Returns will bear out , that our circulation
for the past thirteen weeks exceeds that of the last return by upwards of 16 , 000 . This knowing gentleman announced that he had yetsomeoommunication to make with respect to the issue of Stampi to the Northern Star—perhaps he will now condescend to give us the benefit of his prophecy . We however , although we do not profes 3 the power of foretelling , are possessed with power of discovery ; andLy that power we shall be enabled to prove that Geo 2 ge HexbtWahd has become a willing tool in the hands of a faction for the suppression of the Northern Star . And we , too , can tell a story about his Stamps . Our story is , that vre naver yet have l&i aiTTv - iTeek ' i supply oa hand ; wills our neigh-

THE SOUTHERN STAR . Thh letter of James Brohterrb O'Bribh , the poor man ' s schoolmaster , announcing his intention once more to take the field as an Editor of a democratic journal , will be bailed by tho millions , as it is by ub , with joy and delight . We beg the attention of our readers to the letter of O'Bbieh , which will be found in our present number . We ask them to rally , one and a ll , round this persecuted and unflinching friend of democracy . Wo ask them , for their own sake , and for our Bake , as the puppies of the press are one and all snarling and snapping at the heel * of jfchelion . Let us once have the Southern Star acting iu concert
with the 'Northern Star , and the chain of communication between the north and tho south will be perfect . There is no reason why the success of the Southern Star , ahould not be as great as that of the Northern Star . Want of i popular press , above all other wants , creates a necessity for expensive and interminable agitation . Almost all Radical papers have failed vrbile the only one wnich has succeeded has become an object of jealousy with many whom it has raised from the local school of sectional squabble to the first ranks in national disputation . Lot every man who is in doubt as to the course which it is his duty to pursue review the conduct of O'Bsien ¦ for the last nine
years in every situation which he has been called upon to fill , and they will find him , for that length of time , struggling , frequently single-handed , against tho oppressors of tho people ; and that his present effort may be crowned with succces is the sincere wish of our heart , whilo . its accomplishtacnt can be J nsured by the co-operation of th « working-classes . ' Notices of meetings and proceedings connected ¦ witn the establishment and the . support of tb . Southerri Star will be cheerfully accepted and published by its Northern brother ; and tho two Stars * against all the devils of the press . Single-handed we have killed them ; in company we will bury them . . ¦ -

This week toe present to our Subscribers of Lancashire a Portrait of the Rev . J . R . Stephens ; and io those of Yorkshire that of John Frost , Esq . We have been compelled to adopt this course in consequence of the tedious process of printing so large a plate , it being impassible by constant and unremitting work , by nigld and by dag , to row off more than four hundred prints from each plate . If there has been a delay in the presentation of Stephent ' s portrait , our Subscribers . will bear in mind thai within nine months they will have received the Convention , Stephens , andFrost ^ three of the mat
splendid plates ever presented with a newspaper , and as good as the art could furnish . Next week tee shall present our Birmingham and Newcastle Subscribers with their portraits ; and , in truth , it can be matter but of tr \ fling importance whetheror-no they receive iheir portraits one week or the other , for they shall receive all as speedily as tliey can be perfected ; and thus many who may receive the portrait of Stephens upon one Saturday may receive that ofFrottinixoo or three Saturdays after * Next week we shall receive new subscribers for Frost in Lancashire ,
who shall receive their plates the moment the number tan be completed ; and thus we have made amends for any former and unavoidable delay by giving one portrait immediately after the other . Many applications have been made for Stephens ' s portrait by n ^ w subscribers , but we have invariably declined serving them . We promised thai those porlrailt should be worth one guinea each , and we have hee * assured by many in the trade thai we have not over-valued tliem . None hut subscribers can have the plates at any price . .

Ho shewed the advantages which tho return to a more natural stato would ensureto air classes of ' society . Ha explained that labour could riot bo respected so long ; aa the labourer ' s ; share of ' produce was lost in tho capital and speoulatiou of the master . He explained why tho labourers wero not ablp to stand tho sacred hoh - day ; aud pledged liimself that ^ ¦ whenever : oppprtanity offered , ho would 'tako caro that tho evils which had been imposed upon the people Bhould cease , to exist , In order to prove the little influence which the ^ people had , ho mstauced the fact of a hole-and-corner memorial going the rounds of the middle claesea . for tho purpose of doposine the bnlv
othcer ; whom they had the power to « lect—^ yhoin they did elect unanimously , and who had disqualified himself for office by , protecting the lives , theliberties , and the properties of all those committed to his charge without the ihtroductiou of brute forco , which la sure to leave an irritating and angry feeling . Tho Chief Constable , h « said , had preserved the peace of the district amid the greatest excitemeht—he had acted as a Btatesman , a soldiery and a gentlomau , aud Gousoijuontly was an unfit ofiicial lor the present holdorfl of authority .

THE D 1 NNBR , The dinner was got up by the working-men , in celebration of the anniversary of the Radical Association of Dewsbury ; aud was one of the best things of the kind we orer witnessed . The room is the largest in ; Pewsbury , and was inaufficierit to hold one-third of tha applicants for dinner-tickets , or one-sijxth of those which applied for admission after the cloth > vas removed . . % . Jlllatt , tho respectable chairman of the Radical Association , piesided after dinner , and Mr > Haigh acted as vico-Dresiaont . The High Constable of Dewsbury , W : Newsonie , Esq ; , sat on the right hand of Mr . Pitkethly , who presided at the principal dinner-table , and Mr . O'COunOr sat on his loft . The dinner was substantial , woll-cooked , well served , » U 4 Well relished , and did great credit to the respectable host . Alter dinner the tables were removed , aud from
seven to eight hundred fvesh guests were admitted . The first toast wai "Tho People I '' proposed from tho chair , and responded to by Air . BairstoWj who did ample , justiw to the stibject . Ho showed the inability if the people , iu their ^ present position , to carrvthe prihciplos of th e toast into practice , because they had no power . They did not delegate tho authority by which they wero oppressed . All authority ytaa an iiaurpation , andi did not Uow fioiu the pure source of popular will . He spoke at consiuerable leugth , and wai loudly cheered all through , -i The next toait was , " Feargui O'Counorj the founder of the Radical Association of Dewttburyi " which was responded to with hearty cheers .

Mr . P'Cosnob drew a cheering comparison between thj » present position of the Radicals , and their position ' . antecedently to the . efitablishmeht of associatibns . He said that , while iu the . House of Commons , he had witnessed the effect wkich Whig aud Tory clubs had upon the organisation of their regpective parties , and the consequout combination aud result produced upon the Jiousb of Commons , aud that he wia resolved to put his party hi possession of tho samo combihing machinery ; From
that time Whig and Tory meetings ware unfro-Quent , while Kadioal meetings were incessant . Whig and Tory spOuters had forgotten their parts of speeoh , while m the Radical ranks , drilled in their associations , were to be found the best speakers in the world . Mr . A Co _ nhpr entered miiiutely ioto the progro 8 ai of Radicalism , aud concluded by proposing th « health of the High Constable , after a well-merited eulogium . and which \ va « Responded to with Dine times nine hearty cheer * , and " one cheer more !
