A BniG ± in > s Philosopht ; or one law fob thb Rich a . kd AKoxuaa voa tue toon . — " lx , isb&cause man ' s law is not God ' s law that 1 Etand here upon the mountain . Were laws equal and mat , there would be few found to resist them . While they are unequal and unjust , the poor-hearted may Bubmit and tremble ; the powerless may \ ield and suffer ; the bold , the free , the 8 tron £ , and the determined , fall back upon the h . vr of God , and wage war against the injustice of man . If you and I , baron , " he continued , growing excited with the htat of his argument ; " -if you and [ w ? re to stand before a court of human justice , as it is called , pleach ' ug the same cause , accu&ed of the same act " , would our trial be the fame , ocr sentence , oar puaishment ? No J all
would be different ; and why 1—Because you are Bernard de Rohan , [ vide Lord Cardigan ' s case , ] a wpalthy baron or the land , and I am none . A name would make the difference . A mere name would bnisg the swi-Td on my head and leave yours nuwounded . If bo it be , I say—if tueh be the world ' s equity— I set up a retribution for myself ; I raise a kingdom in the passes of these mouutnins , a kingdom whTe all ihe privilege of earth are reversed . Here , under my law , the noble , and the rich , and th « proud , are those that must bow down and suffer ; the poor , and the humble , and the good , those that have protection and immunity . Go , ask in the peasant ' s
cottage ; visit the good pastor ' s fireside ; inqmrc of the shepherd of the mountain or the farmer on t ? . c plain ? : go ^ k them , I say , if under the sword of Corse de Leon they lose a " sheep from their ii > ck or a sheaf from the : r field . Go , ask them if , when the tyrant of the castle—the lawless tyrant , or the tyrant of the city—the lawful tyrant , plunders their * properly , intuks their lowliness , grind * the face of the poor , or wrings the heart of the me-. k—ask them , I say , if ther * e iB not retribution to be found ia the midnight coarse of Cori ? e de Leon-if there is not pniil-hmem and justice poure . i forth erea upon the privileged heada above .

Since he ha . a bcrn in prison , he had lost a brother , child , and father by death ; tbe latter occurrence , that ofjhis father , had been signalised by a display of unlcokedfor sympathy on the part of Lord ftormanby , who kindly , and without solicitation from himself , granted Lfni permission , from the dungeon , to follow the remains of his father to thsgrare . He , therefore , tcok that public opportunity of publicly , through the press , expressicg his gratitude to Lord KcrmanDY , though he was his political opponent to the his
death . He also thanked them ( congregation ) for their kindness towards him while ia prison , in pecuniary and in other matters . They had ministered to his waste , and he hoped the large number of suffer-era then in prison would not be forgotten , or left nnsapponed by tkeir friends .

With ihiB Tiew he had started a magazine , which he called the " People ' s , " because it was for the people , with the people , whether rich or poor , hij < h or low , and he wished to make the whole people one people . He bad learnt , sinoe bis release , and on credible authority , that * U the imprisonment , all the Government prosecution ^ and cruel treatment , and exorbitant bail , was the result of a bargain entered into between his old friends , the Corn Law repealing millowners and the Goverament , that they would put down the Auti-Poor Law agitation and the Chartist agitation , if the Government would assist them in repealing the Corn Laws . But had they put down the agitation or the agitators 1 ( No , no . ) Had they put Oastler down ? No : there wae
he in the Fleet , inditing his Papers , happier than ever . Had they put Stephens down ? No ; there ho was that night , again * before his friends , his church , and his congregation . Had they put down O'Connor ! No ; though in prison , ho was as mighty as ever . Had they put down Oastler , O'Connor , and Stephens ! ( No . ) They had put them up better than they could have done themselves . ( Vociferous cheers . ) He saw nothing good as the result of all their imprisonment ; they had still bad times , they were likely to have worse ; and , before heaven , he believed God had given them np to a reprobate mind , to w , ork all manner of unrighteousness , that they might believe a lie , a special affliction front God , who had and would visit them wiih vengeance . He had teen Oastler in London , and spent many happy hours with him . Mr . Stephens then recommended h " i 3 bearers to read the " i'leet Papers ;" and if they could afford to purchase the " People ' s
Magazine , " to read that also . It was extensively read in London , and he hoped was doing good ; but above ail they muit read the " Fleet Papers . " People would say he wag advertising his own book . ( Laughter . ) In conclusion , he hoped that they would not mistake him ; he knew it would be a work of prayer aud a work of blood ; they must take the swordand net let it rust in the scabbard— "the sword of Gideon—they mast keep it bright before the Lord" —for God had said tha ; he would cleanse the laud . He then exhorted his hearers to be up and doiug , to pray more , to live to God more , to believe more , to give themselves up completely to God , to live for God end one another . He had given them his best advice , let them take it , pray over it , and ho would with God ' s a&-i * tance aud theirs , work for and with them , he would finally a ; : ci affectionately bid them good night . ( Loud cheering . ) The ChairhaJ * then introduced
ilr . BnAPLEY , of Hyds , who was received with much applause . He observed that ho had come with grear pleasure , though very unwell , in answer to the kind invitation that had been sent him . Mr . S : ephen 8 had called him a consistent Chartist ; he was proud to assert that he was a Chartist , and agreeing with him that men ' s hearts must be changed before they would practice justice to one another , he could not help thinking he nr ' ght be bigotted , that Mr . Stephen * was ivrorg and ho himself was right , when he demanded for bis countrymen their political rights , as con-ained iu the Charter . He would hiiu * elf feel ashamed , and he thought he would not deserve the name of a man if lie was not a Chartist ; and though ho had puffjred eight
mornlia' impri > i > n ! nvnt , he would n ^ ver cease t > work until it became the law of the laud—he would assist Mr . S . in repealing the New Poor Law , the Rural Police Bill , and in shortening tho hours of . ' actwy labour , though he th ^ u ^ h :, tor hie part , they never could « uceecd till they got the Suff . Mxe , by which to protect a ;> d legislate for themselves an working men . ( vhf-i-r ? . ) How were th- ^ y situated at t ' iia moment T W .-re they not worse tlian they had been ! He told them that ui . le- ^ s they coulJ < .-Va : i the Charr- r , they would b'como w . sr ^ e than t' -py were then , though , God knew , thpy v ; ers low enough . It was his opinion that they , liko tho aristocracy and coiron lords , musi . have their incerest * rvprrsent- d i ; i thi- Hoii-e of Common .- * , or they sink
imuie 3 ? 'irably lower in the . scalu of social misery , ami moral degradation . He wished them , one air ! all , 'o cultivate a knowledge of one another , to Kyin-I -at . se with one another , and to struggle in tho x ~ i-at cause , until their efforts were ero . vnctl with eucc ^ -s . ( Hcrr . ru ar , h-. ar ) H-i would conciuie , a * ho v . u-i iu very bad health , and givj way to another gent . eman who would address them . ( Loun appluuit ; .. * Tiie Chairmau then called upon Mr .

that its righteous c : aims were neither humbug nor moor . shin-. ; and that the Ch 3 nis ! =, int-ea'j of minting a wild goose , in pur . ~ uip £ iis acquisition , were ? oi ' .-mn'y and nobly working out their C'ju . itry ' s emar . c : pa : ion .

OPEN CONFESSION OF THE MOST FLAGRANT GUILT AND LONG CONTINUED PERSECUTION OF IRISH LANDLORDS . In onr last number wo laid before our readers a report of a meeting of Irish landlords , recently held iu Dublin , and presided over by Ireland ' s only Duke , his Grace tho Duke of Leinster . We have this week to draw more pariicuiar attention to the objects proposed , and motives for holding the meeting .
Many of the early speakers would have given the complexion of patriotism to their intentions , while they would gladly throw a veil over the disasters and wretchedness which they admit to exist , and of which they have been compelled to confess themselves the perpetrators . A Mr . Napkb is the first speaker , and we again insert his speech : — " Toward * the conclusion of this gentleman ' a remarks , In Blinding to the state of the oountry , ne observed that the hwnses of the poor people throughout the country , were literally worth nothing—they were Bet £ t for habitation . In traversing tho bogs as & sportsman , many a time he had seen the game fall at the door of Uio poor man , —those wretched hovels ¦ were not fit for the dogs over which he had shot . "
Now this Mr . Naper is , we understand , a Tory landlord , enjoying ths small fortune of about thirty thousand per annum , while he confesses that , upon his own estat ? , he has to witness the destitution which he describes to

be endured by those who make the otherwise barren surface of his land valuable by their labour . Can reproof be stronger than that which this gentleman thus administers -to ' self and otisr , amidst the cheers of the delinquents . Good God I human beings living in hovels in which a Bportsman mould not put his dog . The bit of a speech which is most important for its folly is that of a Captain Dunne , and which we reprint also : — **
" He resided In a district where there was , unfortunately , a large quantity of waste land , which could , with little difficulty , be reclaimed and made productive of the people only knew how to go about it . ( Hear , hear . ) That they would at once set about it he had no doubt , if the means were given them ; for certainly the charge of a want of induatTy could not with truth be imputed to them . " . -.... ' . Here we have a most extraordinary jargon ; tho Gallant Captain says , that the land would be reclaimed if the people knew how to go about it , and , in the very next breath , he says they would soon go about it , if the means were given them , and he admits that want of industry cannot be imputed to the Irish peasantry .
The next speaker ia Sharhak Crawford , and while we acquit him of all participation in pa 3 t actB of oppression , wo regret that he did not , wiien such an opportunity presented itself , affirm a more extensive principle than the mere collection of subscriptions to be divided among a little Squirearchy as agricultural premiums . The resolutions went no farther than this , while Mr . Crawford very properly observed upon the prudence and justice of making a landed provision for every labourer . But while Mr . Crav / fokd nieroly suggested the propriety of adopting tho principle , he went into the most outrageous and impracticable details for carrying it out , that could . have been suggested to the mind of man .
Mr . Crawford recommends the allotment of an acre of ground to every labourer , and in his appropriation of that quantity he assigns three distinct duties or performances , each and all of which aro founded upou the most fallacious data . He as 3 igns a task for the man , for the land , and for the two little pigs , whioh none of the parties could possibly perform . In the first place he proposes that the man , after ten or eleven hours labour , for his master should
amtue himself m planting a half acre of potatoes ; in cultivating aud digging them , and in digging and cultivating a half acre of wheat . True , ho assumes that the family will assist , but he well knows that the cniidicn of Irioh labourers begin to work for their masters at the age of twelve or thirteen , till about twenty or twonty-one , when they marry and become housekeepers themselves . Therefore tho performance of tho required du : y from the man is out of the Question .
Next c ^ mes the land ; and surely Mr . Crawford musi . know that there is noi an acre of laiid iu the universe , with any quantity of manurs , much less with that produced by two littlo pigs , would stand an alternation of a . green and white oropj it is rank nonsense . But now we coaie to a consideration of the most important of all tha duties , that assigned to the unhappy ttvo iiule piijs , upon whom devolves the enrichiug process . Doe 3 Mr . Crawford know what he said , or do those who cheered understand it ? Ik
. Mr . CuAWKOltD aware liut there are eighty perches of land in a half acre , each perch containing over thirty square yard ? , and that lie assigned the poor little ^ maters the PHYSICAL impossibility of manuring no less than seveu square yards per day throughout the year , and for potatoes , too , which require more manure than any other crop . We beg to assure Mr . Crawford that forty big pigs , much less two little pij < s , would not , if they had nothing else to do , and had a diapen- ftry at their command , perform the duty which he has assigned to the poor animals .
Ho talks of straw , while he must know that pigB aluue , of all other animals , never convert straw into manure , being , as regards their bed , the mo 3 t cleaaiy of all auimils . Indeed , in justification of the character of Irish pigs , we beg to relate a story which we heard from au Irish farmer . He had a sow with a litter of young ones ; the sow fell sick , and the farmer littered yard and a ]] with straw for warmth ; after three days' attempt at doctoring , ho at las * seat for the parish pig doctor , who , haviug taken off his hat aud coat , and having
deposited thorn in a corner of the yard , over the Btravv , proceeded to tho sick bod from whonce he expelled the young brood , and when the visit was over and the patient was presoribed for , the Doctor proceeded to " don" his coat and hat , but lo , and behoid , tho well-trained brood had taken advantage of tho doctor's coat and hat , which presented tho only spot that for three days appeared legitimate ground for their purposes , and there they deposited a large lnck-pauny for tho learned gentleman , as their share of the fee .
We , therefore , protest at once , upon the part of tho two littlo pigs , against the performance of the dnty assigned to them . In fact , they must bo the dirtiest little beaBts of pigs on earth , real Irish pigs , and worth their weight in gold ; as a half aero of potato ground manured by pigs would bo well worth five pouu < l 8 . Will Mr . Crawford fend us a sow and boar of thia manuring breed , aud we promise any price for them ? No ; but we tell Mr . Crawford how to get over the difficulty , and how to increase the comfort , while he diminishes the burden upon the man , tho land , and the pigs .
Let each labourer have an acre and a half of ground , and apply it thus : —a quarter of an acre of potatoes , a quarter of an acre of wheat , a quarter of an acre of vetches and kitchen garden , a quarter of an acre of meadow , and a half acre of grass , and then les us see what his produce would be—500 stones of potatoes , thirty-fivo stones of wheat , milk , and bmter , of a cow , and kitchen garden for bush fruit and vegetables ; then Mr . Cimwforb may say that a cow , one pig , and the weeds of a kitchen garden , together with some little collected by the
man himself , would manure a quarter of an acre well , while the ashes and other manure furnished by slops , et cetera , would afford ample quantity for a kitchen garden . Thus a quarter of an acre of fresh land might be broken up every year , and have « . good rkin upon it , instead of a continuous succession of potatoes and wheat , while the man ' s labour would be reduced to nearly one half . and to assist him ia that , thb cow would enable him to keep some of tho children at home for help , whjle the poor pigs would be altogether roleased from their copious evacuations .
Tho cow is the grand thing for a poor family ; and let us now see what our disposition of the land would afford . Three hundred stones of potatooa , hirty-five ditto of wheat , four quarts of new milk per day for Ecven months 6 f tho year , and eighty pounds of butter , or better than half a pound per day for tho remaining five months , together with a little milk for seven months , eight quarts of sour milk per day for the pigs ; to this add garden
vegetable ? , and thus , without any straining at artificial agriculture , but by tbe very commonest process , we provide for the poor man three times as much as he can earn by a whole year ' s toil ; he may eat his pig , which would , moderately speaking , give him two hundred pounds of bacon , or more than half a pound per day . That man would never let a froggy Frenchman enter upon his little paradise ; he would fight liko an Irishman , and die like » game cock first .
We must be understood a ? agreeing altogether with Mr . Crawford in priaciple , aud therefore do wo feel the greater jealousy and alarm , lest ridicule may b 3 cast upon it , from the absurdity of the details . A Seotch farmer once assured a neighbour that he had discovered an essenco of manure , and that ho could carry a sufficiency for five acres in his waistcoat pocket ; upon whioh the neighbour replied , " Aye , mon : and nae doubt you may carry the crop

in the other . " Now , we say nothing about the crops ; bnt we do think that , after the two little pigs had performed their part of the covenant , they would be very fine drawn , and would make but sorry bacon . The next speaker is Mr . Georgk Macartnkt ; and as this gentleman has let the cat out of the bag , we here reprint his confession . He said : — " Improve the agricultural resources of the country .
Hid yeu increase employment among the labouring classes , and decrease the poor rates , \ Hear , hear . ) It Ib the interest of the proprietors , therefore , to forward these objects ; for there is uo use blinking the question —any person that look s at the operation of the poor faws m \ uVa « e that eventually th 3 proprietor must pay the rate . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) Therefore , let the proprietors employ tho people , and they will not have poor rates to pay . "
Now , caft anything bo more beastly , disgusting , ami flagitious , than thus seeing landlords obliged to be dragged like badgers from a hole before any notions of justice , humanity , or right , possess them . Here we are distinctly told , that the droad of a poor rate has forced these gentlemen to consider grievances , with , which they adait that they have been-familiar for years , without making the slightest approach towards their redress , until alarmed by selfishness and fear . Thus it ever has been , aud thus it ever will be , with the rich—they must be kicked into action .
In 1735 , the Irish House of Commons , being Protestants , passed a resolution exonerating all grass land from the paymeufc of tithe , and thua threw the whole burden of the Protestant church upon a pauper Catholic agricultural people . In 1824 , Mr . Gouxburw , finding the security of the ' parsons becoming weak , in consequence of this immunity , and the rolucod price of gram holding out a proinium fur leaving land in grass , passed his tithe composition bill , by which tithe was io be converted iuto an acreable
assessment upon all land , as well ^ ras * agricultural From 1735 till 1825 , every war was a tithe war ; and the grass Protestant and grass Catholic proprietors , shot , hung , transported , murdered , aud destroyed every man who took part in opposition to tithes . The . poor paid as hi ^ h aa 25 s . an a cre tithe for potatoes ; 20 s . for wheat ; 16 .-. for barley ; I 2 h . for oats ; aud 83 . for flax ; and serviug tha parson or proctor with more than three notice * to draw his
tithe upon the same day was cons ^ pir > cy by Act of Parliament . So , when a poor mai , or a combination of poor men , preferred allowing the parson to draw those tithes to paying tho valuation three frieudly Protestants we : o employed to serve notice to draw , and the ptri . sh wa 3 then declared in a conspiracy against the parson , and the military were poured iu from all quarters to aid the church .
This went on for nearly a century ; tho Catholic landlord and lay impropriatrrs and magistrates being the greatest tyrants . But , whan all was brought into hodge pod ^ o , am ! when the rich had to pay a little for their religion , then did loids , higheheriffs , M . P . 8 , aud squires , rise iu o ^ en rebellion against the parson ? , aud cry " down withlhs church , and no tithes , " until atle ; ig'h they have for another bit transferred them , in the 6 hapo of rent charge , to the shoulders of tho Catholic tenar . ts ; and uow the patriots being sopped liko a furious wauh cog , arc mute once more . Is not tin ' s a case exac : Iy in point with tho present agricultural movo , & : u \ has not Mr . M'Cartney put the saddle upau tho right hor ^ e ?
A Mr . Bermingizam follows , and rnnounccs the appalling fact that sixpence a day is above ihe average price for an able-bodied man in ihe West of Ireland ; and tken comes a Mr . Watt , who , iu detailing eomo facts connected with the district of Thurle 8 , in the county of Tipperary , which has always been the moat disturbed pare of Ireland , says , that within five years , eneourag tnyut has been
given to agricultural improvement , and fW thai period there has not bteu a single criminal , whereas previously there waJT 2 ota siuglo year but there was a public execution . O ! sham * Jnl ! horrid ! beastly ! and who were the murderers ? Why , the rascally landlords , of course , who uhould ona and and all be hung up as sear * crows , as a warning to those who may follow . The Iri&h deserve it for bear ins ; it .
We ara sick of tho beastly concern ? wo never read a more disgusting recital than the whole affair ; and our readers will now do us the justice to say , th *> , however our former paintings of Irish suffering and lordly tyranny may have appeared high coloured , they become but a mere daub , when contrasteJ with tho picture drawn by tha gentlemen themselves . 0 what a row there is , when a land shark , who has sent thousands to a premature grave , is finally sent after them .
LaudlorJs of tho Green Isle ! you have written your own history , with your own po ? i , and in the blood of your own countrymen , and we believe it true to tho letter .

DISHONOUR , DISGRACE , AND DISSOLUTION OF THE HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE PARTY : THEIR PRINCIPLES AND
THEIR ORGAN . Mystery and latitude to an almost unlimited extent ure , by a kind of prescriptive right , conceded to the press ; but , inasmuch as there must be always some implied , if not defined , understanding between those who wiito and those who read , it has therefore been tho immemorial custom , that the latter should only impugu tho former when trick , diBgrace , dishonour , or falsehood , shall be so clumsily veiled
by Mr . Editor , as to make . silence , vr affected blindness , a cliargo of participation agairtbt tho latter . In plain terms , the disciples of a newspaper , written for the higher or middle classes , value it exactly in proportion to its powers of aiding tyranny by falsehood ; but inasmuch as the least moral must bo the laout scrupulous , the moment the cheat becomes palpsble and is detected , then is tho cry of shame reechoed through the surprised ranks .
If a party cannot rely upon its or # au ' s veracity , what influence can that party hold in a gtato ; aud if an organ descends to the disgraceful and dishonourable subterfuge of pandoiing to advertisers , aud recruiting for quacks , at the expence of truth , and by wilful falsehood , what will it not sacrifice to praeerve the support of tho political portion of its readers ! We may answer principle , politics , party , and all at the shrine of Mammon .
It is bad enough to manufacture editorial political quacks , and atl . ach the signature " Chartist , " as if earning from other parties ; that is a part of the mysterious license ; but to issne a wilful and palpable falsehood , as the Leeds Times has done , admits of no possible excuse . Never , then , has a more disgraceful occurrence come under our knowledge than that to which we are cow about to refer .
If honour is to be observed towards our political subscribers , surely honesty should bo observed towardB our advertisers . We expound our principles as an inducement and iavitation to the former , and exhibit our circulation as an invitation to the latter . In the one we may be over »? altus and unmeasured , but with the other , aeal has nothing to do . The standard of truth is the only measure which advertisers require , and to which they are justly entitled .
The Leeds Timet has , then , in the most unblushing and dishonest manner , added no less than nine thousand five hundred to the amount of stamps which the returns give to that paper , and , with the very returns from which he professes to quote before his eyes , and from which he quotes in these words : — Thelaei STAMP RETURNS SHOW the weekly circulation of the Titnn . to . be 3 > 673 ; and then the Leeds Times gives the gross amount as 95 , 000 , while the Stamp Returns before his eyes give the return thne : —
Leedt Times - July , 12 , « 00 ; August , 12 , 000 ; September , 12 , 500 ; Octobw , 12 , 000 ; November , 20 , 500 ; December , 16 , 000 ; oakiug in all 85 , 5 » 0 , and then the Timet , having assumed this false and dishonest position , proceed ! to take it » itand a * a

second-rats paper " , as tha Northern Star , not l ^ ng » local paper , the Times says , cannot be taken iutQ the Yorkshire local list for advertising purposes . For this we thank the Briggate National ; th * Star is not a Yorkshire paper , nor yet an Efi ^ Iish paper , nor yet a National paper ; it is au Imperial paper , and while the Times thus caters for quacks by narrowing its circulation to a limited circle , what will the originators and supporters of the Late "national" more say to their " toad in a hole V
But while we never have catered for advertisements , but , on the contrary , have refused many , and would inuch rather insert a flood letter from a "CHARTIST" hand-loom weaver , an account of a W ' n % Corn Law drubbing , or a good missionary lecture , yet we beg to tell the Times that we circulate m-. re within thirty miles of him than he circulate all over the world , aad w ^ send mote single ^ o-peri to aristocrats and M . P . ' e , who are obliged tu ' taX * us as poison , thau one half of the Times' circa * laticn ,
We did not leave it for the Times to jind out that we were not a mere " Toad in c hole ; " we have always taken pride and pleasure in declaring it oum > lves ; our reader .- will do us the justice to say that we aro never very noisy about " advertisers would do wt-11 to look here , " or in parading the starcp ruui-ns ; but , inasmuch as some consideration has beea forced upon us , aud as we ni ^ y be safely said to hold- the balance even between thi adverti ? ing portion of tho community , not h < Aug an advertising paper , let us , while our hand is in , giy » a fair specimen of thu real state of the case to that portion of the community who have no other protection , or guarantee , than the words of the Kiiitox for the expenditure of their money .
The Times then calls itself tho second pa ^ op in Yorkshire , by the returns . Now let us
see—No I . Northern Star , Half a million and Twenty-one Thousand . No . II . Leeds Mercury , two hundred and forty-two thousand , by its own account . No . III . Leeds Inklliytncer , one hundred aud twenty-six thousand . No . IV . Hull Advertiser , one hundred aad eleven thousand five hundred . . No . V . Leeds Times , eijfhiy-five thousand , five hundred .
bo much for tho other point of veracity ; aud now , as nicety h the order of ihe day , let us ju 3 t ruu-thi Times nicely through the twenty-six week gna'itlef taking the first nineteen wetks , and tho last seven . For the first nineteen weeks , then , that is , ft-r tha quarter ending in Sdptomber , to tho firsi week of November , inclusive , October being a five wselu moutli , aud ths * first week ' s eupply for Noveiabej , consequently had in October , and let us Bee kov ? th « matter stands .
For-thotti ninetcea week « , the Times had , by th * return , just 49 , 000 , or 2 , 570 , instead of 3 ; S 73 , pf-r week , while for seven wesks of Nuvember and Decerabor , the Times had no fewer than 3 G . 5 ' . O , 01 nearly ouo iialf of the whole amount , supplied fcfr the while tersn , or in wa .-k ' y circulation 5 , 214 ; and then the-cur coiwo . i tha yelp of the bsiti-dog , aad 83 , ya , we make no av ^ r-i ^ e of the Intelligencer , because he La 3 not mado proper arrangements abo \ £ bilking advertisers .
Now can figures make facts clearer as regard * tfcj dishonesty and falsehood of tho Times toward * aIvurtiaers , who are , ia our opinion , in a ) l oases wer « th > .-y cau swear that they were governed by a donafide circulation , as stated in the paper which deceiv e them , absolved from tho paym ^ ut of advertisc-m ^ nti . Now one word for ths veracious Mercury , and he ;© we are merely dealing between the advertliiiyj cls-iinants as arbi . traf . ora .
The Mercury gays : — " We mako no weekly average of the Intelligencer ' s circulation , because a largo proportion was supplied to that paper iu th « month of September . " Well , now , let us have lik » case Hbo rule . In January , 1840 , the Mercury had l D , « 0 ft , aud in December , 1840 , -45 , ( 500 . In January , ! 340 , th ? Intelligencer had 20 , 000 , and in Dccsmber , 1040 , 45 , 010 . Now , surely , if 45 , 000 in December ia more cisproporiionate to the circulation of th « Intelligence * than the Barao amount ie u > tW ~ oi » - cal&tk-n of the Mercury , so is , upon the other hand * 1 ° , * IO in January ¦ to the Mercury , than 20 . 000 in the samo moiuh to the Intelligencer , and may w » not , therefore , have another January tale to toll upon tho next returns !
Whar , then , as far as the justice of tke ciso is o , on oerncd , is the fairest rule \ Why , doubtless , to take each year within itself , and what is gained in out will be lost ia tho other . Now , upon a comparison of the two half years , how do matioii stand bet-. vcen Ihe rivals for : ho seeond place ? Is appears ; hat tho increase of the Time * for the last six mouths over the previous sbc months , tin-owing in tha 36 , 500 for seven weeks , . f «
just , —whsit does the reader think , —after all tha splutter about tho sprea-i of tho all-devouring principle , and the assurance in January , when bpth half years were expired , th . it the frequent changes of principlo li ; id produced an increase of l . OQD weekly 1 Why , ju-t fifty-six weekly , and no more ; or , in other words , fairly disposing of the 36 , 500 , a-ieot « ing to the previous nineteen weeks , a falling off of about 19 , 500 upon the half year . So much fer the truth , nicety , and justice .
We make no compari-jon of our circulation with the Briggate National and European Advertiser * The wholo circulation of Mother Goose , we should look upon as a mere casual increase in our weekly order . We make no mention of tho Monarch , not of th daily , not of the Provincial , not of the Eaglishi nor ynfc of tho Imperial , but of tho universal press , the groat Weekly Dispatch ; thousands ara a *
spoiled wheels , and the whole circulation of Mother Gocse , wouid bo to the Dispatch as mere waste ; bui ; wo select the Whigmetropolit&n papers , nearest our match , as t : to school boys say , the Sunday Tim&t and the Weekly Chronicle , and what do we dad there ? Why ju-t this , that ia the last six month * ot the year , as compared with tho previous six months , the Sunday Times has fallen off 10 , 000 . Tb # Greenacre Chronicle has fallen off 44 , 000 , and tht Star has increassd in the s&mo period SlXTV .-SlX
THOUSAND . If this Vary great nicety is to be observed in tha critical laying in of stamps , —mind , wo are only speaking of the rule applied toward others , —fortunately our independence of ragamuffin advertiaeit relieves us of that portion of the jealousy;—but if suoh nicety ia to be observed , let us just treat tha Mercury and Times to another test of a whole half years' average . In the first quarter of the last year , then , as compared with the last quarter of the previous balf-yea * » the advertising belligerents » toodthus : — Mercury—Last quarter of last half year , I ' 32 , < N 0 first quarter cf present half year , 126 , 00 a ; declinejj £ , 00 upon thirieen weeks .
Leeds Times—Last quarter of last half year , 48 , 000 ; first quarter of present half year , 37 , 000 j decline , 11 , 060 , or nearly 1 , 000 a week . Intelligencer—Last quarter of first half yea * , 26 , 000 ; * first quarter of last half year , 44 , 000 j increase , 18 , 000 upon * he thirteen weeks . We here take leave of the Briggate " National * and European Adrertiser . ; Wo may hare a word to say a * to the
difference between consumption and returns ; a difibroao * to which friend Mercury attachea much importance , and afterwards take " a review of the whole year ' * stock , stating the amount of stamps received , and the amount oa hand at the end of each quarter . In future , we shall take but a yearly review of ib * thiug : it is . well enough for advertisers to beftbif their timo&nd space on catch-penny ; but it is rath e hard that their falsehoods should force iia to df likewise .
