Longevitt . —Died , at Baumber , near Horncastle , John Goddard , age ninety-three , leaving six children , sixty-four grandchildren , and upwards of one hundred and sixty great-grandchildren . He worked as a labourer upwards of thirty years on the Wragby turnpike road , but was blind for the last ten years Died , at Milford , in her 103 rd year , Mary DuvtI ^ better knows as " Old Aunt Mary . " She was a native of Aberdeen , and at seventeen was married to a soldier , with whom Bhe -went to America , and by whom she had fourteen children , thirteen sons and a daughter . She followed the camp in the American war , and her husband and two of her sons took part in tne fierce encounter on Bunker ' s Hiil ; subsequently her husband deserted her , when she became an itinerant pedlar . She retained th-j use of her faculties to the day of her death . —Drislol Mercury . A female , named Mshine , died lately at Puy ( Haute Loire , ) having attained the age of 115 . She had never suffered from illness , and , it is asserted , preserved all her teeth till the last !
Legalised Phtsical Fobce— New Muskets and Bato . vets . —It is probable that a new bayonet wui be introduced into the army . It appears a formidable weapon , about two and a half feet in length , and one and a half inch broad , and of a proportionate thickness . One edge is formed to cut as a sword , and the back is serrated like a saw . The serrated part would make an ugly wound difficult to be healed , but it is intended as an assistant to cut palisades , and the great length given to the bayonet is intended as a protection against the attacks of the cavalry . The court of Directors have , we understand , resolved" on the introduction of percussion Jocks in the fire arnj 3 of the Ind / an army . 10 , 000 muskets outhis principle were shipped for Calcutta in Augu&t last , and 100 , 000 in all had been ordered for the Bengal armv a ' one .
The Disadvantage of bei . ng a Gentleman . —A very fashionably dressed midoie-aged , but slimlyformed person , who gave his name Charles Kendall , was placed at the bar at Marlbarough-street policeoffice , on Saturday last , charged with being drunk and disorderly . The offence having been proved , the magistrate asked the prisoner in what station ot life he was . He replied a gentleman . Mr . Rawinson—Oh , indeed , a gentleman , then I mnsi inflict the highest penalty of 40 s . for this offence . Defendant—That is extremely inconvenient to me . I hope
you will alter your decision . Mr . Rawlinson— Indeed I shall not ; if you are , as you say , a gentleman , you must pay scot for u . Defendant—The truth is , I have no money about me . Mr . Rawlinson—I caauoi alter my decision . I must treat you the same as a poor man . Why should I make the distinction ? Defendant—Because I am wiihout money . Mr . Rawlinson—No gentleman is ever without money . You mu = t pay the fine , or be locked up . The defendant , begging Tor a further remonstrace to bis worship , was then consigned to the lock-up cell .
A Rumpus in a Tom and Jerry Shop . —A long-1-gged lantern-jawed beer-shop keeper , named Smith , summoned a jolly laugh-and-grow-fat little cobbler , at the Borough Court of Requests , for the sum of 5 s ., ihe amount of a score , and half-a crown more for sundry glasses , which the latter , it vras said , had broken , while under the influence of heavy wet . " I keeps the Velingtou , my lord , " said the lon ^ -shacked swipe merchant , " and thi 3 here wagaboae owes me seTen an' a tanner for licker and brokes fcla ? 3 es , and he von ' t pay a farden , so I ' re pulled htm up afore yer vorships jist to git satisfaction cut of the warmint . " Commissioner— " I don't
know how it is , but jou i > eer-shop keepers are always engaged , in some disturbance or oth . r ; beershops appear to be ihe very hot-beds of brawling . Pray , how djc all these , ? hsse « get broken V Plaintiff— " He go ; fighting with a couple of dustmen and capsized'em . " When a cobbler gits lusby , my lord , he s werry quarrelsome . " Commissioner— " I suppose the dustmen helped to break the glasses /" Plaintiff— " No ; he did it all himself , my lord ; t'oihers did no mischief votsnmever . " Commissioner ( addressing the defendant)— " Well , what have you got to say against pajiug this 7 s . Gil . 1 " Defendant— " Please yer vership , arter finishing vurk at night , I . used to valk into the Yelington to
henjoy a pipe and a pint , and conwerse a little about polyticks an ' sicb like . " Commissioner— "Da you admit the debt V Defendant— " I owes the five bDb , yer vership , but as for the glasses I knows nufSn atout'em , slielp me bob ; the dustmen vos the coveys , yer vership . Here Sammy , old feller , step forrard , and convince his vership . " "Sammy , " a pot compauion of the defendant , was accordingly introduced to the notice of the court . Commissioner" What do you know about the affair I" Sammy" Yy , my lord , Bob never broke the glasses at ali I'll lake ' my bible haffadavit . " The CommissioDerg , afier hearing the defendant ' s witness , adjudged him to pay the 5 s . only .
The Falls of the Niagara . —Gulljdility . — Some of the papers this morning contain what is called an extra from the " office of the Advertiser , Buffalo , Feb . ] 4 , four o ' clock , " giving an account of tbe destruction of the Falls of Niagara . A slight glance at it will convince any one that i : is a hoax , and by no means a good one , got up by some witling who probably never saw the fails .. We will poin : out a few of the indicia leading to this- conclusion . 1 . The article was not wriueD , although purporting to have been , by the editor of the Buffalo Commercial AdvertUer . We know bis style too well . He nerer deals in such inflated , "windy Janguage as tbe account presents . 2 . The extra purports to be dated at Buffalo on Sunday evening at four o ' clock , and it was received in this city last evening . This could not be done . 3 . " Biddle Tower and the adjoining ground work had
disappeared . " Mr . Biddle never kuilt a tower at the Falls . Some year 3 ago he caused to be built a staircase on Goat Island , leading down to the Falls , which go ^ s oy his name . 4 . The water made a subterraneous passage , and burst through the wall of Goat Island . " Absurd . 5 . " The hotel i 3 goEe . It is believed no lives have been lost . " The last clause is correct ; and there can have been no lives lost , because there was no hotel to be carried away . The nearest hotel is the Ciifton House , far below the falls . P . S . —Sinie the -above vras in type- the northern mail , only due this afternoon , has arrived , aud brought us the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Saturday evening , the latest which could be expected . The Albany papers of yesterday are silent on the subject . The hoax vras protably got up in this city . —Xeic Verb Commercial Advertiser .
Crceltt IS a L-MON WoaiiHOL-sE . — Thomas Quanby , a master shoemaker in the Limehouse Pooriiouse , one of the workhouses or bastilcs of the Stepney Union , was brought before Mr . Ballantine , at the Thames office , on Saturday , charged with cjmmiuiDg a most brutal and unprovoked assault on Charles Watts , a boy aged thirteen years . The boy , who appeared in bid health , was stripped , aud his shoulders and arms presented a mass of black braises . It appeared from his statement , that at the earnest desire of a Eick child in tbe house , who retained an affection for him , he was allowed to nurse and attend the invalid , and while performing some kind offices for hi 3 charge , he was asked by the nurse of the sick-ward what he was doing ? He
replied , somewhat perily , that be was attending to his business . This answer displeased tSe nurse , and she lodged a complaint to the prisoner , who chastised the boy by inflicting some blows on his hand . The boy went away muttering , and he was immediately called back by the prisoner , who took up a strap and gave him a dreadful beating across the shoulde r * and inflicted the bruises visible on his person . The 2 ad came to the o&ce for a warrant on Friday afternoon , and then exhibited his back and shou'ders to the ushers , and it was apparent that he had been punished in a most savage manner . The warrant was granted , and yesterday morning Douglas , a police constable , attached to the Court , went to the Union-house to execute it , when he ascertained that the poor boy was in confinement , and had been
locked up by the prisoner s order . Douglas caused him to be set at liberty , and was an eye-witness of the prisoner ' s brutality , for he struck several boys while be was present . Douglas said the master of the house had requested him to state that no corporeal punishment was permitted by tbe Guardians , on any pretence whatever , and that the prisoner would not be permitted to strike any of the boys with a strap . A-heavv shoemaker ' s strap , formed of stout leather , with" which the punisflmeHt was inflicted , was produced . Douglas added there was no doubt the prisoner yrould be discharged for committing such * wanton outrage on the boy . The prisoner , in defence , said a woman , the nurse of the sick ward , complained that the boy was saucy , and he gave him two or three " flips" on the hand with d
a strap , which he did not seem to mind , anbegan to mutter something , and he then , in the heat of passion , took np the strap produced , and flogged him with it . He most confess he had laid on too heavily ; he did not mean to be so unduly severe , and was very sorry for it . Mr . Ballantyne said the boy had not received that wholesome correction which , in the event of his having misconducted himself a father would inflict on his own child , but he had been illused in * wanton and savage manner , which could not be tolerated . The prisoner was an ill-tempered intemperate man to use the boy so cruelly , and he sentenced him to ^ ay a fine of forty shillings and cc-ts and ordered that the conviction should be T- ; p ? V : ed to the Board of Guardians , aud the boy boktd a : " : er .

Plate Robbery . —At Marylebone police-office , on Saturday , a very respectably-dressed youDg man , named John Tomlyn Jenkins , was placed at the bar before Mr . Hardwick , charged with having stolen four silver table-spoons , value about £ 5 , the property of French , Esq ., 8 , Great Cumberland-street , Hyde-park , and to whom the prisoner was butler . It appeared the prisoser had pledged the spoons at a pawnbroker's . He was committed to take his trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court . "D » i _— . T > « . - * - •*» *¦ m

The Alderman determined to commit him to Bridewell for seven daye , and assured him he should be set to work there . The prisoner seemed to be contented with this adjudication .

OUR PROSPECTS . So we head this article , borrowing the title from our talented and generally well-received contemporary the Dublin World , of Feb . 13 th , 1041 , in which appeared a leader , under the above o ' esignation , containing some sentiments which require a few remarks from us . We have , at all times , stated it as our deliberate conviction , that the World was by far the best of the Irish press ; and even in this article we have evidence that our
estimation of it has not been without reason ; though we have also evidence of the condition of unhappy Ireland , in which even a honest patriot , writing for his country , finds it hazirdous to let loose thofull tide of principle , and is fain to embank himself behind such ramparts of expediency as may be dictated by the great master tradesman , who makes merchandize out of misery , and lives and thrives upon corruption , by the constant turning of it over and altering of its name .
In his pleasing and joyou 3 anticipations for the future , and to realise which , we may observe by the way , requires something much more efficient than merely talking or wriiing about them , the Editor has gone somewhat out of his way to abuse the Xorthern Star , and to advocate that mischievous and nondeseript thing , Il-o-u-s-e-hoJd Suffrage ; and all this , too , under the fairest and most unmistakeable professions of sinodpe attachment to the principles and objects of the People ' s Charter .
No doubt all this may be perfectly reconcileable to the enlightened vision of our contemporary , with strict consistency , % nd an unflinching adherence to principle ; but , to our ordinary comprehension , it looks marvellously like inconsistency and "blarney . " Our friend , however , shall speak for himself , as we would not , for the world , misrepresent " The World " on such a subject . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , and we would be glad to find any good authority which could dispute it , are recognizsil by every constitutional writer . The individual who is governed by laws of which he exercises no influence- in the making can be viewed
in do other light than a slave . He may be fed , clothed , aud permitted to walk about , but be is as much tbe creature of the tyrant who rules over him as his horse or dog . We , therefore , are the advocates of Universal Suffrage , because we feel that it is b . ised upon trutb and justice , and moreover , that it baa betn highly beneficial to those countries which have made it the bulwark of popular privileges . Far be it , however , from us not to receive with delight such an instalment as Household Suffrage , not partially aa suffered to exist in buroughmongering days -when it was productive of bribery and corruption , but upon an extensive scale , which would afford both friends and foes a
foretaste of what might be expected from the people if a more universal enfranchisement took place . The Xorthern Slur blusters away at a sad rate against Household Suffrage , and has & comfortable way of its own of condemning every person who recommends it , without ever devising a plan , at least that we can comprehend , for the procuring of ita Universal Suffrage schema Storming towns at night ; getting shot , transported , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors ; and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working-men , is not the way to carry the charter . Indeed , could Universal Suffrage have been carried when the Convention Bat in Bolt-court , which would have transferred the members of that august body to the House
of Commons , we rather think that the Northern Star , in its present mind , would be inclined to regard the boon as a very equivocal blessing . " Let our readers mark every part of this quotation well . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , are recognised by every constitutional writer . " Very well ! Then we are not anarchists , revolutionists , or any other i * ts , that may cause alarm to any human heart . We are oniy contending for what every constitutional writer declares to bo our rights . Bat we have not merely constitutional law in our favre have that also which is of infinitely more importance , —the law of natural right and equity . Thus proceeds our friend across the water : —'' The individual
who is governed by laws of which he exercises no influence in the making , can be viewed in no other light than as a slave . " Now we do not think any argument can be more sound than this , or demonstrate , in fewer words , the abstract and undeniable justice of the principles for which we are contending . If for an individual to have no voice in the enactment of those laws by which his life and property are protected , constitute him a Blave , then it appears to us to be as clear as day , that in order to remove the Blave mark it is absolutely necessary to give to all the franchise , and thus enable them to exercise their proper influence in the making of the
laws . This , we should have thought , must be the conclusion to which all must have come , who were at all capable of drawing conclusions from admitted premises . But , alas , for our weak judgment , the World is against us . "It , " says our friend , meaning Universal Suffrage , " is based upon truth and justice ; and , moreover , has been highly beneficial in those countries which have made it the bulwark of popular privileges . " This , we suppose , must be taken a 3 an Hibernian prophecy ; for , up to this hour , no such country has existed in the memory of recorded history . To the next words we bog especial attention . " Far be it , however , fiom us , not to receive
with delight such an instalment as Household Suffrage , upon aa extensive scale , which would afford both friends and foes a foretaste of what might be expected from the people , if a more universal enfranchisement took place . " It would be impossible , we think , for any man in the world to eram into tbe same space a- greater quantity of false reasoning and blundering logic , then is exhibited by the forty-five words we have just quoted . First comes the fallacy that Household Suffrage is to be considered as an instalment . This humbug won't do now ; it gained the Reform Bill ; bat eight years of R , eform misgovernment hare taught as s lesson-, which , the World may rely upon it , the people wil \ not forget .
We were told , then , by the patrj ots of the day , that the llgform Bill was an instalment ; and we , good souls , took it , becansa Grey , I 3 &ougiiam , and Co ., assured "us , upon their " honour , " that :: was all the ^ by peaceable means , were able

to get , then , but that , haying got a part , it would lead to the securing of the whole . ¦ Now , this was fair spoken , and the people confided . We are not disposed to blame them for their confidence , but we do tell them not to be caught in another trap ; and ona , too , that is not baited half so plausibly as the last on « . We have got , as yet , uo offer of Household Suffrage from the middle classes , though it ia plain that , were they so disposed , they could give us that , or any other measure , to-morrow . . . _ . _
But , suppose we had the offer , would they offer it as an instalment ? The World knows , as well as we do , that if conceded at all , it would not be even offered as aright , but as a boon , for which every one of the " Establishment" would tell us we ought to be most humbly thankful . But this said doctrine of instalments is itself based upon a false and mischievous view of the subject . At the utmost , it only considers the political and social rights of the masses as a debt due to them from the privileged orders . Now , we contend that the deprivation of those rights was a bold and Bhameless robbery , perpetrated according to .. "The good old plan
_ . . . , When he shall take who bath tbe power , And he ahall keep who can ;" And , we ask , who ever heard of stolen property being repaid by instalments ! The only favour the robber can expect . even from mercy and ferbearance itself , is to be allowed to go away scathless upon the restoration of his plunder to tho rightful owner . But we offer more than this ; we offer a full participation in all the good we seek to obtain , even to
those who have reviled and maltreated us ; and yet , so much are some of our friends of " this world , " attracted by the fine appearance and plausible manners of the rascals who have reduoed us almost to ruin , that they wish to makethem the judges in their own cause , and talk of receiving what of our rights they please to offer us as an instalment ; and this , too , before their middle class ' pets have condescended even to intimate an intention of offering anything at all !
Then , again , the World shrinks with horror at the idea of refusing such an instalment as Household Suffrage . We should shrink with loathing and abhorrence from any such rascally scheme as Household Suffrage involves . We claim the right of the Suffrage for man , because he is man , and not because he lives in a house of a certain value . If the value of the house , or the property , is the test of fitness > , then , to be consistent , if £ 10 qualifies for a vote , £ 11 should qualify for a voto and one-tenth ; that is , every ten £ 11 houses should have eleven votes , inasmuch as they have got an extra
qualification among them . And so for all houses of greater value—the £ 20 man having a double vote . To us , however , it appears that the houseless wanderer has quite as good , or even a belter , title to a vote , than the most opulent householder ; because it is plain tltat some morbid arrangement of society , ( except incases of personal criminality , ) baa deprived him of the shelter to which , by virtue of his being a man , ho had an undoubtablo claim ; and , consequently , he has a right to the elective franchise , to enable him , by his representative , to change an order of . things so unnatural aud destructive .
But the crowning absurdity of this Strange sentence is , that this instalment is a tale put forth as a feeler , as to how the people might be expected to act if they should recover tho whole of their just rights . This is just like saying to a thief , when tho hue and cry ia out against him , " get away , and send the better portion of the stolen money back , to see if it will be employed in feeing an attorney to drag you to the gallows . " Suppose this boasted "instalment" offered and accepted , what
might be " reasonably expected" to be the conduct of all those who had no choice in it , but who were told , " wait patiently till we see how the measure works , and if it works well , you Will have no cause to grumble ; and if it does not , you can then demand further concessions . " Yes , and have all the additional influence of the newly enfranchised to contend against !! Thank you , good World , for this sage piece of advice ; but it won't do . We listened to such logic as this in 1831 , and we are now reaping the fruits of our folly .
Believe us , those fruits are too bitter to tempt us to sow another time , with tbe certain prospect of a similar and equally inefficient crop . Our right good friend goes on to rate the Northern Star for what he calls our " sad rate of blustering away against Household Suffrage , " and says that we never propose a plan that he can comprehend for the attainment of our Universal Suffrage scheme . ' We beg to tell him that Universal Suffrage is no
scheme of ours ; it emanated long before before we came , either naturally or politically , into existence , and it would survive and flourish if we should become defunct to-morrow ; being based upon tho rock of universal truth and justice . But , heaven help us ! if we are to be held accountable for the dullness of comprehension of our worthy contemporary . We do our best to be plain aud intelligent , but we never pretended to supply brains as well as
newspapers . We agree with the World , that " storming towns at night ; getting shot , transported , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors , and drawing money almost hourly from the wretohed working men , is not the way to carry the Charter ; " but , wo ask , when did we ever say they were ; or when did we advise " storming towns at night , " or any other plan of physical or forcible outbreak 1 We always saw and proclaimed the madness and folly of
such things ; but we did not , therefore , feel justified in deserting those who had allowed their simple honesty to be overreached by spies and traitors ; and we did , therefore , call , and the tyranny of tho Government , and of middle-class magistrates , Juries , and money-mongers , has compelled us to do so muck more frequently than we would hare desired , upon the working men to collect their pence together , to oppose those who , from their hard earnings , were constantly extracting pounds .
To the remark about the Convention we have only one observation to make . We should , indeed , deem any suffrage not only a very equivocal blessing , but a positive curse , which should transfer either the members of the Convention , or any other parties , to the benches of the House of Commons , unless chosen by a majority of tho unbiassed votes of the people . But we have not yet done . Let our readers read and mark tbe following tit-bit of blarney and botheration : —
" The Chartists would not hiss down Mr . 0 "CoDneH , or offer him personal indignity , because on some occasions he spoke rather severely of then , neither will they , we are sure , distrust Joseph Hume , the unplaced , unpensioned champion of the working classes—indeed , of the injured of every class and elime—because , ia doing so , they are aware that they would not be serving-Mr . Feargus O'Connor , while- they would be laying themselves open to the charges -which are prefoaed against tfceiu by their earaues- of being brutal and unthinking . "
The Chartists wovld not hiss Mr . O'Conkelx . at the Leeds meeting j Mr . O'CoiWJeu , was SO well Convinced of this that he took especial care uot to furnish them with the opportunity . He -was not there ; for lie dare not meet the honest hearts and blistered hMids of the woiking men of Yorkshire . He knew that the blood-money for which b a sold the children of Manchester , and the &laW . ers which his foul tongue had uttered against th / j women of England , would neither be forgiven nv forgotten , and , like a bullying coward , a dunghill cock as ho is , he sneaked into a snug seat at the 7 a . 6 d . dinner , at which he was not likely to meet with any of those , at the very thoughts of whr . m his heart trembled and quaked with fear .
So much for tbe Chartists not hissing Dan . Let us now h . ave a word or tw » aboui " brown bread Joseph . " " Neither will they , ( the Chartirt ? , ) we ' are ? ui-e , distrust Joseph Hume , the unplaced , uiv , eniioned champion of the working

classes . " We admit that Joet ia unplaced , and unpensioned , but we should like to know whether either place or pension was ever placed within his reach , or offered to hisjacceptance . We think little of that virtue which stands , having never been enforced by temptation to a fall . His championship of the working classes is , to our minds , of a very questionable character . He thought such a luxury as white bread quite unnecessary for the hand-loom weavers ; he has been an out-and-out supporter , —champion , if the World likes it better , —of the the Devil-king bastile law ; and we have now in our office a well aud respectfully written petition , from a Scotch working man , in favour of the Charter , which was sent to him for presentation , and which he refused to present , because it was the petition of an individual .
Mr . Feargus O'Connor does not want his friends , the Chartists , to serve him ; he has laboured for them in a manner which has enshrined him in their hearts , and we know that the only return he looks for is their steady adherence to principle , and their ceaseless perseverance , till the glorious cause for which he and hundreds are suffering , be achieved and perfected . " It is a nice point , "says the World , " how far advisable it might bo for them to abandon the advancement of their own cause for a season to procure privileges for others . " We believe so ; yea , a point so nice that the World will never be able to settle it between this and its doomsday ; though there is not a
poor operative Chartist in all England or Scotland who would not settle it in three seconds . " If an administration make Household Suffrage a Cabinet question , there would be no alternative left for all classes of Reformers , but to support the measure in the same way as the Bill of Earl Grey was sustained by the country . " Not so fast . We are wide awake now ; we have seen the result of Earl Gbey ' s Bill , in accumulated misery and wretchedness , and we shall not allow that farce to be acted over again . We promise the World that while we live , Household Suffrage shall never pass into a law because of the support ministered to it , by " all classes of Reformers . "
So much for the World ' s principle . Now turn we to the pot and kettle , under the cover of which we find the following bit upon our fiscal arrangements . The World says , after speakiug of shooting , transporting , and meeting on moors , always forgetting Hathcormac , Walstown , < fec , " and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working men . " Now as there is nothing like fair-play , we beg to give the quid pro quo of Irish agitation—here then is tho quid : —
" Dublin , March 10 . —The R > peal movement , under the direction of ' Tom Reynolds , the Inspector-General of Repeal Warders , progresses apace in the provinces . On Sunday next there is to be a # reafc gathering of the Ax » ti-Unionists on tbe Curragh of Kildare , at which Mr . O Connell—who will reack town on Friday next , on his way to Gal way , where he is specially retained in an important record case—will attend . In Wnterford , Kilkenny , Carlow , and Kildare , the organization for the collection of the Repeal vent is almost completed- Tom Reynolds has appointed collectors IN eveiu PARISH , TOWN , VILLAGE . AND HAMLET IN THOSE COUNTIES , AND WHEN THB MACMXEm IS TUT TO FULL WORK , IT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE FROM £ 500 TO £ 1 , 000 PER W KKK . "
" From the World . 13 th Match . " The Secretary having re . id a letter received from Mr . T . Reynolds , announced the amount of the Kepeal Rent for tho week to be £ C 7 18 s . 3 d . " Now for the pro quo from the columns of the World . — " Every one irmaf be as tired as we are ourselves of the mere party fight about the Registration Bill . The great difference between the Tories and the Whigs is tiiat tbe former are roost anxious fur the success of Lord Stanley's Bill , while the latter would do anything hut abandon Dawning-street sooner than see their own project carried . Let any impartial person peruse the debate and then say if he can give the Ministers
credit for sincerity in introducing tbe measure . The fact of the case is that some clap-trap was required to enable tbe Whigs to cling for a season to office , And nothing better could be hit upon than this hastily concocted Registration scheme . Here was a decoy-duck to answer the purposes of those who were destitute of principle , and at the same time procure for them a temporary supply of popular support Had Ministers boldly recommended Household Suffrage they could not have surrendered the measure at tlieir convenience , but in this instance no such difficulty stands in their way , and they will be able to propitiate the Conservatives , if requisite , by abandoning their £ 5 clause , the only popular feature in the bill . We may be disposed
to view matters with too much severity , but we should be willing to make a tolerable wager that , after all the fuss raised , something very like the Bill of Lord Stinley -will be accepted . Why , it would be preposterous to think otherwise ; for did not Lord Howick , now a candidate for place , prove that the Ministry had not long ago proposed a measure for the registration of Irish voters , in no material point of a dissimilar description ? The discussion , if in no other way useful , has had tlie effect of bringing clearly before the public the true cause of contention between the rival parties , and showing how far those at the he . ' rn of affairs can be induced to go when they feel that the people can no longer be cajoled by idle professions .
The unpopularity of the Melbourne Cabinet has been long increasing , but it recently arrived at that pitch when it was discovered no exertion would be made longer to sustain it Now it was that the Conservative party pressed upon the drooping phalanx of Whiggery , and , gaining one election after another , carried the war into tbe bosom of St . Stephen ' s . Terror , like lightning , flashed through every public office , and there was trembling aniong the tribe of well-paid placemen , who saw that if a tub of some sort were not thrown out to the whale , they must prepare to perish . This led to the bringing forward of the Registration Bill of Lord Morpttb , aud if a more decided tone were adopted , and a determination to look
for measures of generel good , instead of being satisfied with beholding the promotion of a few intriguing individuals , we might soon hope to see them carried . The country , however , has not acted upon this wise plan , but seemed quite overjoyed as one political cliarlatan after another took bis seat upon the Treasury benches ; and it is , therefore , not wonderful that those in " high places" should at Jengtli begin to consider that this wa » all which was necessary for tbe wellbeing of the community . To give a ci-dtvant- demagogue an office worth some couple of thousands &-year , or te confer some mark of distinction upon a Whig Peer , who allowed himself to be described as a Liberal , was deemed more than sufficient to recompence for
the actual misgovernnient of millions . The Sill , we have before stated , -will not at present pass , n » r indeed for a length of time , if its framers caa help it ; bat it will be Instrumental in giving sala » y aud patronage to those in effiee for another 3 € 3 sion . The interest of this debate has been rendered palatable by the strong spica ^ of personality and recrimination introduced into it . Sir James Graham , him-Belf a veTy degraded specini » n of a political renegade , brought the inconsistencies of Lord J ohn Ruaaell into bold relief , and received we ! Z » nierited punishment from Richard Lalor Sbiel , who , in bis turn , wss
dreadfully peppered by Sir Robert Peel . The desertion Of principle has of late years been so exiaaaive and glaring , that it required no great ingenuity t » convict honourable gentlemen upen either side of t&e House of this delinquency . ' You » were the advoaates of the Ballot , ' says the Treasu » j retainer to the- apostate oppositionist . 'Aye , but , " < iuotb . another , by way ef rejoinder , ' you who are now zealous for tfca extension of th « ftaachlse when it « a . n maintain Ministers in place , formed exerted yourself to diminish % . by depriving the Irish forty-shilling freeholders ot their rights . " This is bitter repartea , but still it gives-us not a very ezaJted notion of the political integrity of either Whig
or Tory . " " ¦ From the JPbritf , 13 th March . " We would be Jbr indeed from insinuating that Mr . O'Connell , in agitating the question of Repeal , niiagL » t nothing mere than keeping tho present anii-Repeal administration in power ; bat it ia impossible to peruse the address which he has just transmitted to tbe Loyal Association et the Cjern Exchange ; to he circulated through Ireland , without arriving at atom such conclusion . " " From tho World , 13 th Marok
" We regret that we have lately been compelled to speak so discouragingly concerning the pro » pc « ta of Repeal—bat our duty was obvious—and we had no alternative but to deal with faets as we found them . In almost every part of the kingdom the peaple » re ready to make immense sacriflcta to achieve a measure ¦ which they are conscious can alone ben » flt their country , and raise it from its present abject state . But a doubt prevails that the agitation is not carried on with sincerity— which la highly injurious to the progress of the cause . "
Let the World dispassionately look on both piotures . In the one , T ? e find that from £ 500 to £ 1 , 000 weekly ia now sought for , and expected to put the fool ' s cap upon the head of the World ' s Irish folly , We find a single week ' s " rent" estimated at toore by £ 7 than is required by the English Chartists for a great national \ vork .

Since 1832 , we have Jiad nine sessions of Pat * liament , the present delightful and promising one inclusive , daring which time Ireland has had from forty to fifty "liberal members , " whose eleclfeAs , together with beggar ' s" rent , Association rest , ami humbag rent , has cost the " ¦ wretched working : men" getting sixpence a day , above three hundred ? thousand pounds ; to which , add the millions voted recklessly by the said "liberal" Irish members , and paid by the " wretched working men" of England , and the swarms of lice placed for life upon the back of the Irish beetle , and then see the World ' s own acknowledgment of services rendered , and say
whether or not the Irish quo is equivalent to the Irish quid . While , in the same period , England has had a Convention of between forty and fifty men sitting in London for srx months , a Special Commission that cost above £ 1 , 200 ; four hundred prisoners defended by able counsel , their families supported for twelve months , and all at aa expence short of five thousand pounds , or f our months' interest , at five per cent ., of the enormous sum swallowed up by Irish patriots ; while Ireland is still in the position complained of by the World , indeed by the whole world , while England is able to beat feer united factions .
N . B . Of the £ 300 , 000 the Liberator has had , nearly one half to his own cheek ; enough to give any one but an Irish patriot , a lock-jaw , and it only makes the Liberator gape the wider . Let it be always borne in mind , that the £ 300 , 000 was to keep the Whigs , ( of whom the World is tired , ) in Downing-street .

Mb . Francis Mellon . —There appeared in the Star of December 5 , 1840 , a letter from one of the vwst ardent and persevering of our political pioneers in Ireland , dated from Antrim , November , 25 , 1840 . In this letter the writer , Francis Mel / on , ajter staling the progress which the principles of the Charter were making in Antrim , alludes to the opposition and persecution which he had met from the opponents of political equality , and states , that these mean and contemptible shadows of men , not being able to suppress his ardency and enthusiasm for the cause , had basely and cowardly turned their schemes on his mother , a widow of near seventy years of age . They succeeded . His father , in the year 1828 , loU his life at Antrim Castle , by an accident , and since that time , Lord Ferrard , the owner of the castle , allowed her two shillings per week as a
compensation for her loss . These mean scoundrels applied to Lord Ferrard , and succeeded in causing her weekly trifle to be taken from her . A correspondent would suggest to the Committee of the Victim Fund , the propriety ef placing Mrs . Mellon on the list of receivers front the Victim Fund , adding that , respecting the justice and the absolute necessity for this act there can be no doubt , for , by the praiseworthy exertions of a young but untiring advocate of Chartism , an aged and widowed mother has been deprived of the little pittance doled ' out to for to asssiht her in her short pilgrimage through life .
