Kichabd Ebwabtc thinks that " if the Charier was printed on a large sheet similar to that given vcith the London Dispatch when the Convention sat , and sold at a penny each , it would be of real utility io the national movement . Thousands of Chartists have never rend or seen tht Charter , and thousands of » ur enemies kn * w nothing of it . If it teas printed in this form , it tcouid be a family document in every Chartist ' s dwelling ; all would read , and , ly being suitable for placing on the wall of an apartment , or in
a frame by those wh * could afford it , thousands of our enemies by ignoranct , would have an opportunity of reading our principles for themselves , and Trfieethng upon them . " We think « 3 too ; the Charter cannot be t + o welt circulated , or in too many forms . Wist Bristol . —There is no such officer in the National Charter Association as Steward . Win .

A Constant : Reaoee of the Star recommends , for the insuring of numerous signatures to the National Petition , that every town should be provided with its own Missioiiary , to be called a l % Horrte Missionary ; " very targe ttvrns and cities should be provided with two or three , as the extent of their labour n-. i p ht suggest . It should be the duty of these Missionaries to go from house i * house , missing no rank or degree whatever , except such as they well know to be opposed to the People's cause . And lei it be their duty io
give a short , pointed , and emphatic description of the nature of ihe evils which afflict our country , end which will presently bring us all to utter ruin , if not prevented very speedily . Let them at the same time point out , and explain the People ' s Chatter , a » being a safe and effectual remedy for removing our present distress , and of establishing permanent prosperity .

A swa ( not calculated ) has been devoted io the gratuitous education of 50 youths in grammar and reading . The remainder { . with the exception of £ 18 still on hand , after clearing all expences . ) has been devoted to the spread tf ' Christian Knowledge and Teetotal Chartism . He adds . — " Let us go on in the spirit of Christian emulation ; let our motto be in the spirit of the Spartan's epitaph : * He was noble , tut Sparta had many a nobler son than he .

UNMITIGATED WHIG APATHY AND CRUELTY . " Children of the sun ! with whom revenge is virtue . ' TO THE EDITOR . OP THE NORTHERN STAB . Sir , —The following extract from a letter just received from Mr . Robert Peddle , will be read with painful interest . His letter was delayed a few days behind the usual time , from some " scraps of poetry " which it contained , in praise of " the people ' s cause , " something similar to tk <* Starselloite Hymn , not being palatable to his inspectors , which wero accordingly obliterated before it was allowed to pass . .

A WEEK'S DIARY ON THE TREADMILL . " On Monday , the 22 nd of February , after dinner , I waa examined by the surgeon , aud repotted fit for torture , and immediately put upon the wheel . My sufferings were still more intense than before , which I find to be uniformly the case , whether from increased weakness or other causes I know not That same night , after labour , I was so exhausted , that after several attempts , I left the greatest part of my porridge untasted—bread I could eat none—passed a sleepless and painful night
" Tuesday morning , so Btiff and wearied , that it was with difficulty I got my clothes put on . At breakfast tried to eat ; but could not succeed in getting one ounce of bread swallowed . At dinner could eat nothing . My suffering upon the mill intense . Having oat nothing all day , and being alarmed for fear of injury to my syatem from want of food , forced myself to swallow some porridge , and after repeated trials succeeded . The coBsequence waa I sickened , and passed one of the most fevertah aad distressing nights that ever human being endured . (> Wednesday morning , could eat nothing . At dinner the same . At night , after some hour ' s rest , managed to eat a small loaf of bread and some milk—passed a very restless and painful night ; but slept about two hours .
•• Thursday morning , very weak . 5 fy suffering on the mill increased in intensity . At breakfast eat a few moutusfal of bread-rat dinner the sight of food loathsome—sick—at supper could eat nothing—slept tliat night about an hour—extremely stiff and weak . " Friday , at breakfast could eat nothing . At dinner swallowed three or four spoonsful of soup , with a little bread , in the hope tliat my appetite was returning ; but very unwell , and very weak all tha afternoon . At sapper the very idea of eating Bickenirg . Passed a very restless and unhappy night "Saturday , the same . No return of appetite . Find it difficult to keep my position upon the mill . Sufiering very severe . Weakness increasing fist " Sunday morning , very unwell . Eat no breakfast At dinner less exhausted . Eat a small portion oi food . At supper still very unwell ; but with difficulty eat my porridge . .
"On Mondaymoming felt rather better from the Sunday ' s rest , fee . Employed , with about a doxen other persons , in scraping the brick walls , and limewashing th « prison , which , although confessedly hard labour , yet I both eat and slept well after it , and find that I can do as much work , to the full , as any of my fellow slaves , from which fact one of two things is cruelly evident , that either the treadmill ia aa instrument ot punishment so barbarous as to render its use disgraceful to a Christian country , or that my frame is so peculiarly constituted as to reader that a torture to me which is only hard labour to others .
" It most be obvious to all , who may learn the fact , that my apprehension of a total termination being put to my life by the operation of the mill is anything but imaginary , as it is impossible for any human being to survive many weeks sach torture as I have above but very faintly described ; nor would it have been likely that I could have been able to have kept hold on the mill many days longer , a fall from which most likely would cause a fractured skull , or & broken limb ; and , sach is the suffering state of my mind and body When on the mill , that such an event has ceased to be a matter of apprehension or alarm .

TO THE WORKING MEN OF GREAT BRITAIN Mt Fbiends , —During a long protracted illness through the winter , it has afforded me peculiar pleasure to read in the columns of your own ¦ Journal- —the ffoi them Slur , the records of you ' victories over the Household Suffrageists at Leeds , aad the Leaguers ia Jiondon . I have also been highly gratified at the report * of tbe triumphal receptions which you have given to those champions of your cause who have suffered jn yowr service . ' With respect to Martin , there is little doubt that an action would lie against the Governor of tbe prison for putting him on the treadmill , and for every hour he was conuaed in tha dark hole for refusing to comply with this unjust demand , as though a particular Act of Parliament gave power to the magistrates t » put certain prisoners to hard labour , though not sentenced to the same ; yet it is clear tbe intention of the Act contemplated only such hard labour as would be of a W « uner » ting character , which it would be incumbent on the Governor to « bew that the labour of the treadmill was .
I rejoice to learn that Carrier Is at length off the treadmill . I trust , through your exertions , Peddie also will be soon delivered from this inhuman torture . It will be to the lasting disgrace of the present Ministry , that the future biographer of the " poet , Peddie , " will have to record that he suffered worse treatment at Beverlby , under a Whig Government , than the " poet , Montgomery , " did at Sheffield , or tue- 'f ^ oet , Leigh Hunt , " in London , from a Tory Administration . It is most gratifying to find that O'Brien is not foxgotten by you , and that a fund Is raising to purchase and present him with a printing press and type . This Ib as it should be and is due to him by the people , in grateful remembrance of the editor of the Po » r if on - * Guardian ,
And now , what is to be done for O'Connor ? The position which he occupies , and his unwillingness to accept anything of a pecuniary character from the people , might render it difficult to mark your sense of his services in an especial manner . Might not , however , & fund be raised , to be called "The O'Connor Fund , " with a view to bear his expenses in getting into Parliament ? That is the place for him ; for while he is one who would never shrink from meeting you In your popnlar assemblies , hia presenoe in Parliament would ftuell the enemies of the people , and in five years would , I have little doubt , make the House too hot for some of tbe official * . Persevering in purpose , and ready in mental resources , be would know how to fight the forms of the Honusa against its votes ; and , Fabiuslike , would even win the victory cunctando , by delaying all other business till the people ' s rights are conceded .
Such a fund would enable each of you to mark the high sense you have of bis past services and sufferings , aud would do honour to him , while it would really benefit yourselves . I am , Dear fallow-countrymen , Tour faithful friend , William Tilliers Sanket .

CHARTIST PERSECUTION IN IRELAND . TO THB EDITOR OF THK NORTHERK STAR . Liverpool , April 12 th , 1841 . Sib , —I send you for insertion & verbatim copy of a letter which I received last week in answer to a communication from me , from my friend and fellow labourer in the cause of democracy , and Which I con * Oelve to be my duty to make public , having his consent to that effect , as showing , in tone and not overcharged colours , the amount of assistance which we , in our endeavours to procure the establishment of tbe principles of the People ' s Charter , may calculate upon from these whov by a system of legalised robbeqr , have con-: tnwi . j ^ »* Wo ^ ? Uw , hSd ^ audjJunction with whom soma pwUei whom I would still wish to believ * honest , are in a pains-taldng-way throating upon us for our adoption .
I can scarcely trust myself to speak on the conduct of him , who in bis capacity as a minister of God , and a pastor of that church to which I myself , in common with my warm hearted and noble minded friend Mellon toloug , has felt it to be his duty to hurl his denunciations publicly from a spot which is held to be God ' a sanctuary , and dedicated to the worship of the Most High , against ene whose only crime was asserting that man stood equal with man in the presence of his Creator , as the common Father of the human family .
Your readers can , 1 have no doubt , remember two tetters which appeared in your paper last November , from Mr . Mellon , detailing the conduct pursned toward his aged mother by the shopocrats of Antrim , at whose instigation Lord Ferrard withdrew the paltry pittance of two shillings per week , which she was in the receipt of since tbe death of her husband in 1828 , Who waa killed in Lord Ferrard's service in that year . And in the Slar of March the 2 « th , a correspondent offers a suggestion to the managers of the Victim Fund with regard to the propriety of placing Mrs . Mellon on the list of recipients from that fund—say the payment to her ef the two shillings weekly , of which she was bereft , in consequence of her son ' s disinterested advocacy of democracy , a suggestion which was fully in accordance with the feelings of all who bad the pleasure of knowing him . ; Belfast , April 4 th , 1841 .
My dear Friend , —Perhaps by tbe time you will have pronounced a verdict of ingratitude or neglect against me for not answering your letter before now ; the fault was not miue , as tha following will show . Your letter went to Antrim as directed ; after considerable delay , whether intentional I cannot say , but I received it unsealed , and very much soiled ; and , from the Chartist labels being attached outside , I have no hesitation in saying , was read by every established tyrant from Dublin to Antrim . My ; dear Friend , —Since I last wrote to you , I have been harassed aad persecuted beyond description ; the ' enemies of popular rights having employed all and every means to crush me ; having succeeded in their first attempt , and finding it far short of the accomplishment of their object , they set again to work . They prevailed upon Lord Ferrard to eject my mother
from the house which she had occupied for twenty years , and they so arranged affairs , that She could not procure another in Antrim , only on condition that I should leave the town . As matters stood , I chose the alternative ; and , O heaven , M ' Cartney , can you believe it , I was denounced from the altar , yea , tbat same altar , at which , from my childhood , I had worshipped my God . Yes , I was denounced , together with my principles , as being base and disastrous to the we ! faro < tf the state , and subversive of civil order . If the desire to see God ' s creation happy , be tinged with these qualities , then am I the offender , if the desire to see my beloved country , rescued from the vultures who feed and fatten on the misery they create ; who riot in the blood-sweat of her toil-worn sons , be a crime , then am I a criminal ; but no , I glory in my principles ; in my position as an Irishman determined to be free .
My dear Friend , —Since my country struck for net liberty , in 1798 , to the present moment , never was a man more relentlessly and determinedly persecuted , than I have been by the bloodsuckers of Antrim , and none , permit me to say , more respected by the intelligent of my own order . I've a sigh for those tbat love me , A . smile for those who hate , Whatever sways above me , I ' ve a heart for any fate . I hare at present no settled residence , having left my home two months ago—an exile , a wanderer , in the land of my birth , " my hopes and my hornet" Bat all the tyrants have done , and ail they can do , ah » U n » t prevent me struggling for my liberty , and that of my fellow man .
In embarking in our good ship the Charter , I said , that amongst the crew I should , at least , do one man ' s dmty , and that I shall do , alike regardless of lordly , lay , or clerical intolerance , .

Finding themsolve 3 thus secured , they betook themselves to the vestry room , where they found , afire , and inspected the clergyman ' s wardrobe . They lulled the two youngest to sleep , giving them some stick liquorice and some holy water , which they found in the sacred vessel that had recently been used . Thus they passed the whole-of-their time , not any wav uncomfortable by their night's adventure , until they were liberated , abont nine o ' clock the following morning , when they were immediately accompanied home to- their anxious aad inquiring parents . .

But he has discovered an antidote most rich aad kindly in the " new move . " At his " Royal Loyal " meeting of Tuesday . *• Mr . O'CoNKEU , would take the opportunity from that spot of calling upon his countrymen in England totally to avoid any connexion with the Chartists . Their advocacy of Repeal would tend roort to impede it , and THB SUCCESS OF CHARTISM IN IRELAND , which was
imoossible , WOULD ALONE MAKE HIM ABANDON HIS PRESENT AGITATION . ( Hear , hear . ) He undei stood that there was an Association about being fermtd , at the . head of which were Messrs .
