NEW FABRIC IN THE MANUFACTURB OF .. ¦ -: ' ¦/¦ , : . ¦ ¦ . cloth . . " ; , - ' . . ¦ :-XITM . HIRST will exhibit his new Manufacture it of Felted Cloth on a Woven Fabric , in a Large Room , Top of Skinner Lane , opposite the New Church , on and aftar Tuesday , July 5 th , from one o'clock to Four every Day , while necessary . After the Exhibition , the Yorkshire Manufacturers musfc make up their minds whether they will keep the Trade in Yorkshire or let it return to the West of England , where I brought it from . _ Oto that occasion I will undertake to prove that Uoihs made upon my new principle of Felting on a-W oven tabnc , will require in one way or other , as much labour as Cloths of the same quality require by the present mode ; they will Cost one-third less , and will sell for one-third mobe , tha quality of Wool in each instance being the same ; and such will be ^ their utility for general purposes , and the demand lor them at homo and abroad so universal , that it will not be possible to overstock the Market for twenty years to come . To those who are unacquainted with the Process , the above statements may appear to containparadoxes beyond their comprehension , but I pledge myself to give such explanations as shall cause every maa who hears ine to be satisfied that thosis statements are correct . I am anxious that the new Manufacture should be carried on upon such a principle as will not grind the working man down to tho * lowest possible point of existence , and in the calculations upon whioh iny statement is based , I have allowed sufficient remuneration for the operative . Low wage 3 for workmen , and small profits / or masters , will ruin any couutry . By the new process , the maa may have good wages , and the master good profits ; and , unless I am much mistaken , such will be the popularity of its productions , and the consequent demand for them , that in the spaoe of a fern monthpi few idle hands will bo found In the streets . The invention is secured to me by four Patents , all of which are necessary to make perfect Cioths . I can mako any quality , but at present I shall confine myself to the best that can be produced . Daring the last , two years , < I have spent upwaTd 8 of £ 2 , 000 ia Paient 3 and Experiments to bring ij to perfection ; tfnd the mental-anxiety and bodily labour in . devising plans , and raising money , &c ., has been more than my pen can describe . But for all this , my invention will stand or fall by its own merits ; &nd , therefore , I take this method of challenging scrutiny and comparison . I shall not sell my privileges to any but those who promise to give Good Wages to Workmen . As Iain the Master of this New Fabric , I ; shall not allow any Children to Work at it till they are Fourteen Years of Age . Their Fathers shall have Wages to send them to School till theu . No Child at Fourteen to Twenty-one , shall have less Wages than E'ght Shillings per Week . No Man nor Child to Work more than Ten Hours per Day while I am Master ; these are the Conditions , on which , aud ou no oiher , will I sell Privileges to Manufacturers , oa my new principle . WM . HIRST .

SITDDESSFIELD . —Comhisseratios of a Vhig Factory Lord- —A "well-known millowner hsa been manifesting his usual sympathy to the JJoor . A widow had her husband killed in the iniil alluded to , at which time they were in arrears for rent three pounds nineteen shillings , to the said miUowner , whose extreme benevolence prevented Mm from exacting the same . Since that time she has been supported by her son , on whom she solelv depended . TJnfortnnately , howeTer , the son met the same fate as his father in a manufactory belonging to a Blue Lord , a short time ago j the proprietors of which gave orders that the poor widow should be removed into their neighbourhood , where thev would support her . This desire to protect the pridow having reached the ears of the former Tery pious * a humane millowner , he immediately ordered the furniture to be stopped until he received his three pounds nineteen shillings !! We understan d the widow offered what little she had , which was refused . _
BICHBXOND . —Thomas Helmsley , of Richmond , labourer , was committed last week , to the House of Correction at Nonhallerton , to take hi 3 trial at the next sessions , for feloniously stealing and taking away one leather strap and a number of ejrgs from the premises belonging to Mr . William Corner , of Brompton-upon-Swale , farmer . SHEFFIELD . —Atrocious Outrage by a Soldier . —A most brutal outrage was perpetrated by 9 corporal of the Queen ' s Bays ( quartered at the barracks in this town ) , on Friday last , May 27 . It appears that on the afternoon of that day , a youagman named Asbberry , respectably connected , with two or three companions and their dogs were passing the barracks , when one of the dogs ran into
the yardj and was struck by one of the soldiers , upon which one of the young men said , " Come , you will let that dog alone ; you'll get marked for that ; I shall know yon again . " The soldier replied" Yes , you b——r , I shall know you again ; I shall mark you out . " The four young men then passed on . Corporal John M'Kinnon , who wa 3 in command of the gnard , took the sentinel ' s carbine from him and saying , ""Come , lei ' s walk into theb rs , " pursued the party fifty or sixty yards up the lane ; he first struck at a young man named Dale , but missed him ; he then struck at Ashberry , and felled him to the ground by a two-handed bJowwith the butt-end of the carbine on the back part of the head . Ashberry was immediately conveyed to the t
Infirmary and received every attention , bufears were entertained at first that the blow was a fatal one . M'Kinnon . was taken into custody , and on Saturday was examined before Wilson Overend and W . J . Bagshaw , Esquires . Several witnesses deposed to "the foregoing facts ; and it was given in evidence that on returning to the barra ^ k-gites M'Kinnon remarked tha t "ha had served the b r right , " adding that " he would have served him right if he had killed him . " It seems that the stock of the carbine was broken with the force of the blow . On the other hand , three soldiers of the Queen ' s Bays , who appeared as -witnesses fer the prisoner , stated that much abusive language was nsed by the voung men in the first place . The case
was then remanded till Tuesday . On Tuesday , the prisoner ( who in the meantime had been allowed to remain at the barracks ) was again brought before " Wilson OTertnd , W . J . Bagshaw , and Hugh Parker , Esqts . Mr . Palfreyman , who , & 3 on Saturday , appeared for the prosecuting parties , urged that the prisoner had been guilty of wounding Ashberry with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm , and should be committed for trial oa she capital charge . The Magistrates could not see that the charge of wounding with intent &c , was proven Ultimately , the prisoner was liberated oa bail , two sureties of £ 20 each , to answer the charge of assanlt at the sessions . We understand that , on Tuesday , Ashberry was pronounced to be likely to recover , though not yet absolutely out of danger .

Smith , Shoulder of Mutton Inn , Bradford ; afcer having done ample justice to the good things on the table , the Secretary read over the state of their finances , which was very flattering and prosperous . It was agreed that £ 103 should be deposited in the hands of their bankers . After the cloth wa 3 withdrawn , a band of music , in military dresses , was ushered into the room , to enliven the company , which was very larae ; singing and dancing commenced , and was kept up until a late hour of the evening , when the eempany separated , highly delighted with the prosperity of the lodge , and the harmony and brotherly leve that existed amongst them .

The members each wore a black silk scarf , and white gloves . P . G . M . Gattenby , after ihe interment of the deceased , read the funeral oration of the Order , in a very solemn manner . The members then formed in procession again , two abreast , and went over the grave one on each side , and deposited every one a piece of ever-green therein .
Litxlb Hortos Tbetoial Ba > t > . About five months ago , a bind of music , bearing the above title , was formed in tbi 3 village , consisting of twenty-one members , each pledged to the principles of total abstinence . Some of the parties have since broken the pledge , and . wished the band in consequence to be Killed me * Moderation Band . " A division took place , when there appeared for the original name , twelve : against it , eight . One of the parties remained neutral . The teetotal party offered the others the drum for their share ; they were dissatisfied ; and accordingly on Thnrsday morning , in the absence of the landlord of the Temperance Hotel , where they raet , they entered the house , and took forcible possession of the drum , box , books and money which it contained , and decamped therewith .
TYLDEB 1 JST . —On Monday evening a public meeting determined , by resolution , to buy no more fresh milk , butter , or buttermilk , till the prices of those articles ba reduced to three-halfpence a quart for new milk , a halfpenny a quart for buttermilk , and cighipuice a pound for butter . ArA'axixG Fibe is Ca ^ al-stseet . —On Saturday night , about twenty minutes past ten o ' clock , the premises of Mr . Hadfield , pawnbroker , Canal-street , Ancoats , Manchester , were discovered to be on fire . On the arrival of the engines , they found that the roof of Mr . Hadfield's house had been consumed , and tlm the fire had communicated with the roof of an adjoining beer-shop , occupied by Mr . Morris ,
and also with the roof of the shop of J > lr . Williams , a druggist . A plug opposite the building was opened , but there was no water in it , and the firemen were obliged to open another plug in Bradfordstreet , at a distance of aboat 100 yards from the fire . This caused a delay of about fifteen minutes , during which time the flames had reached the roof of a provision warehouse in Bradford-street , occupied by Mr . Goodwin . The second plug having been opened , an abundant supply of water was obtained . The houses , which belonged to Mr . Ha-dfield , were insurec In the West of England Fire Office for about £ " 220 , which , it is supposed , will nearly cover the
loss . Mr . HadSeld's stock was insured in the same ofice for £ 400 , which , we are told , is considerably less than ihe amouct of the damage , which may be esrimiti . d at abonfc £ 700 . The stock and furnitare ef Mr . Williams were injured in the County Fire Office for £ 250 , which , it Is said , will not cover his loss . The damage done to Mr . Morris ' s property amounts to about £ 100 . He was not insured . The loss susiained by Mr . Goodwin , who was not insured , was inconsiderable , and consisted chiefly in theinjury done to his furniture and other property , in removing them . The total loss is supposed to be from £ 1 , 200 to £ 1 , 400 .

High Life below Sta ibs . —A gentleman of fortune , residing in the neighbourhood of Hampstead , and who for some time pasi has been sojourning at a distant part ef the country , returned unexpectedly to hia houseat Hampstead on Tmrrsday evening last , and on arriving at hia residence was surprised at perceiving lights issuing from the windows of his best apartments , whilst shouts of merriment , mixed with the musical sounds of a harp and other iustrumeuts , broke from the interior of the mansion . Mr . at first conjectured that he must have made a mistake , and that he had in a temporary absence of mind wandered to the residence of a neighbour . But no ; to relieve his doubts , Sancho , the yard dog came bounding towards him . He was at home , and
feeling curious as to the cause of all this revelry , the honse having been left solely to the care of the servants , he cautiously made his way iato the premises through a back entrance , and succeeded in gaining a balcony extending round the windows of the first floor , whence he could command a view of the interior of the drawing-room , when , to his surprise , he beheld a scene that completely bewildered him . A numerous party was assembled , dressed in every variety of costume , representing a motley crowd of Jews , Gipsies , Turks , sultanas , sailors , soldiers , &o ., all commingled together in chaotic confusion , and playing- off the most practical jokes imaginable on each other . On perceiving these strange visitors located within his habitation , the gentleman conceived
that some friend or neighbour had " borrowed " his roonis on an emergency for a fancy dress ball ; and he was on the point of retiring from the spot to make inquiries of the servants , when , 3 o , could he believe his eyesight ; bedecked in the costume of a grand Turk , with a luxuriant display of beard , that might have excited the envy of a bonafidt bashaw , forth stalked from amongst the crowd in the back drawing room , no less a personage than Sam , his under footman , leading daintily , by the " blushing finger ?/ ' Sally and Snsannah , the belle de cuisine and fe ' mme de mansion of hi 3 establishment , both ladies attired after a fashion that would have puzzled the united conclave of antiquarian dames throughout the entire kingdom to have defined . The appearance of Sam and his smirking "handmaid " at once elucidated the mystery . Mr . sprang through the open window into the room , when a
scene ensued that beggars description . The magic word " mister . '" never produced greater consternation among a set of urchins engaged in the revel of a school-room riot , than did that exclamation from the united voices of Sam , Sally , and Su ? annah produce on the motley set assembled in the drawing room aforesaid . Sauvc qui pent was the order of the night . A rush was made for the doors . The crowd , in-their eagerness to escape , blocked up the head of the staircase , and the efforts of those in the rear threw the foremost off their Ieg 3 . The mass gave way , and Jews , Gipsie 3 , and Turks , sukanas , sailors , soldiers , cum mullis aliis , rolled head long down the stairs , . amidst the screams of the women and the frantic struggles of the men . The in traders were bundled out of the honse sans ceremonie , to seek their respective domiciles as best they might , and the servants employed in the establishment received notice to quit forthwith .

ADDRESS OF THE FEMALE CHARTISTS OF ABERDEEN , TO THEIR FELLOW COUNTRYWOMEN . " God and our Bights . " " HethiDks I hear a little bird that sings The people by and by ¦ will b « the stronger . " —Byron . F £ llow CorxTBvwoMEx , —If ever there was a time when it behoved the indnstrious classes of this country to bestir themselves , it is at present , when they see their brothers and friends around them unemployed and starving , without knowing how soon tils fate may be their own . It has been said that women should not meddle with politics ; theu they must make up their minds to be marred by them . If politics did not meddle with them the prohibition might be just—but the woman who values her home will endeavour to drive everything from it that threatens to do injury to its welfare . It is becauge your homes are in danger that we now address you . It is because your friends are perishing around you and you yourselves are suffering , that we call on you for exertion in yonr own and your country ' s cause . It is because tyrant misrule is making these homes
wnich ought to be the abode of happiness and peace , scenes of want , misery , and wretchedness , that we call on you to throw aside your apathy , and join us in the present glorious struggle for our just rights . If you knew how much your own happiness , and the happiness of those you love , depends on your possessing these rights , which are essential to the wellbeing , of every human creature , we are sure that there beats not a female heart so callous to human suffering as to refuse to join with heart and soul in this holy cause , which alone can drive want and woe from the poor man ' s home , raise him from his degraded position , and improve him mentally and morally ; for until the physical condition of man is improved the progress of his moral condition will be slow . At present they have to toil from earliest morn till latest night , when both body and soul ara exhausted , and what do they receive in return as the reward of their labour ? why , barely as much as will sustain a miserable existence .
Sisverg , what becomes of the fruits of your labour . Leok around you and see how many there are who live in splendid mansions , and are dressed in the gayest attire . Mark them well : they toil not , neither do they spin , but fr ' nter away their Iive 3 in idleness and Juxury , while your lives are one continued round of toil and ~ woe . No time is allowed you but to eat and sleep , and scarcely so much of that as the body requires to keep it in health . Now , knowing , as you must do , that everything i 3 produced by labour , it follows , as a necessary consequence , that those who labour not must live on the labour of others . Those splendid mansions , then , in which they live , and the fine robes in which thev are
clad , are the produce of your toil . This is the cause why you have to rise so early and work so late , and receive so . little for your labours ; for these idlers make the laws ; and they have made them so as to enable themselves to live in luxuriance on the produce of your excessive toil . It might be well for tve ; y one to inquire whence comes this fearful want and suffering at present endured by the working classes . Is it because the Creator has not seen meet to provide plenty for the wants of all his creatures 2 If so , it is our duty to submit with resignation ; but if he ha 3 provided plenty for the want 3 of all , and we can trace the cause to man , it is our duty , as Christians and members of society , to exeit ourselves to the utmost of our power to remove the cause ; for
we are told to use all lawful endeavours to preserve our own life and the lives of others , especially when we see so many of our friends starving , and our acquaintances hurried into an untimely grave , afid many among whom , had they lived in other circumstances , would have been among society's bright ornaments . There are many even within the limited circle of our friends ; but when our gaze is extended to our country , the amount is appalling ; for it is calculated that there are one hundred thousand emigrants obliged to leave this their native land in a year ; that one hundred thousand perish unable to quit-the country ; besides the fearful amount of disease and suffering produced from the want of food sufficient to keep the body in health , ¦ which renders
life , to many , only a living death in tortures , fearful as the rack , or any ot the other various modes of torments to which the priesthood of former times treated their victims in days when human sacrifices were offered up to satisfy the manes of supposed angry deities . It may be said those days are past . Woeful delusion 1 There are more human victims daily offered up at the demon shrines of Whiggism and Toryism , or , in other words , class legislation , than ever were offered at the shrine of Odin in thi 3 country , or that of Juggernaut in the East . Gold is now the god that is worshipped . Gold ! gold ! shrieks the hearties master . More work , or starve , 13 the cry of the white slavedriver ! How many are the victims of unhallowed avarice ?
Thus , unceasing toil and poverty are our doom , although our country can produce more than the amount of food her cnildren can consume . But you

see it is the will of the rich , who have more than all they can wish for , to prevent the poor from having the least of all they want . The harder we toil , the less we receive in return . Wejshakethe bush , while they gather the berries . Our Government , the would-be fathers of the people , must have eightpence out of every shilling we earn , and leave us to the tender mercies of other parties with the rest , and then look on in mockery of our miseries ; and smile to see us fleeced of the part that remains by others , till between them they have fleeced us of our last eroat , and left us nothing .
The other day , while ire passed along Union Bridge , we saw a female seated , and at her feet lay a paper , on which was written— "My husband is ont of employment , and 1 have no other means left but this to keep myself and two children from starving . " She was young , and decently clad . One child lay asleep in her arms , the other stood at her knee , gazing in her face . The blush of shame covered her cheek , and tho tear stood in her eye . It was evident that love for her little ones could alone have brought her there ; for what will woman not do for her own offspring . She , doubtless , entered life with hopes as high , as hearty , and as light as any of us ; and who can say that such will not be our fate ? How many of our friends have
entered life with light hearts and high hopes which have ended in blighted prospects and squalid misery ? And why ?—because the impress of slavery is on our class , and must be removed ere peace can visit the labourer ' s heart , or plenty hia dwelling . We would call on all mothers " by the love they bear to their children , if they would not be the mothers of more slaves , to be made into tools for others to profit by ; if they would not spend their lives in toil , anxiety , and care , without a ray of hope to cheer the gloomy prospects of starvation in their old age , with the bitter reflection that with all their labours they had only reared another race doomed to pass a life of drudgery , such as they have themselves suffered , and all this , because we
stood tamely by and allowed a few men to make laws by means of which they rob them , and not them only but their children ; if you would not have your children curse you for having reared them only to be sacrificed amid fearful tortures at the shrine of Mammon ; respond to the trumpet-call of liberty , now borne on every breeze . See , the Charter of your liberties is raised on high , as Moses raised the serpent in the wilderness . You have only to rally round it , and it-will set you free . Learn your children to love it—let them learn to lisp its name in their first accents of speech—teach them to know liberty , and they will sweep tyranny from the earth . Join , then , the present movement , the glorious struggle in which we are engaged , and
it will enable you to leave liberty as a legacy to your families , and your declining year 3 will be passed in peace amid your children ; and you , who with young hearts filled with foud hopes of happiness , look around you and see how many such have been blasted—how many bright eyes have been dimmed before their time by the accursed system under which we live , —if you would not , like them , have the cup of happiness dashed from your lips when scarcely tasted , join in the cause which will enable you to realise your hopes , and show to the world that hearts as brave still beat in the bosoms of Scottish maidens , as when they were wont to buckle on the armour of their country ' s warriors , ere they went to the battlefield . The man who
can live a willing serf is unworthy of a woman ' s love . And is there a woman who would not be ashamed of the coward and spurn from her the crouching slave who will not dare to be free ! Better die in single blessedness than live the wife of a willing serf , and rear for him a band of little crying slare 3 . And ye fair dames and bravo youths ef once merry England , join for your Charter , which only can make England merry again . And ye sons and daughters of the green Isle , we conjure you by the wrongs you have suffered , by the blood of your patriots shed in the field and on the scaffold , by wrongs you have endured for centuries , unite for your rights , for if you are ever to be free ' tis " yourselves must strike the blow . "
See , the flag of Chartism waves ! Tyrants are beginning to tremble ! Rally round it ! Unite , unite in your millions , and soon the shout of freedom will be heard from isle to isle , and from strath to glen ; the day-star of peace will then arise , when , instead of pale-eyed want , peace , and plenty will everywhere be found . Signed on behalf of the Association , Maky Angus , Chairwoman . Joux Brown , Secretary .

Shootikg at Sovereigns ' . !— . In the month of May ( the loiti ultimo ) , forty-two years ago , it was that an attempt was made to assassinate the Sovereign of England , similar to that made © n Monday against our beloved Queen . On the evening of that day the atcempt was made by one James Hatfield , a lunatic , in the Theatre Royal , Drury Lane . At the moment King Georgo 111 . eutered his box , and was advancing forwards , the audience rose as usual from respect , and at the same instant a horse-pistol , loaded with slufcs . was fired from the pit , and ono of the slugs was afterwards found to have struck the pilaster about fourteen inchos above the head of the King . Immediately the greatest confusion ensued , and Hatfiold , who had been seen to leye'fthe pibtol ,
was seized . It was afterwards proved that ho had been the Duke of York's orderly , and that he had received eight sabre , wounds upon tb . 9 head , which produced insanity . Ho was declared Not Guilty on his trial on that account , and he was detained in custody for life . On the 5 ; h of January , 1817 , when George IV ., as Prince Regenr ,, went to opcu Parliament , he was shot at , on hh return through the Park , on his way to tho Palace . Two balls perforated the glass of tho carriage in which he was r iding . This ¦ occunviice , and the . gonerally excited state of tho couutry at large , led to the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act . Tne outrage was thB same day reported to Parliament ( as was also the case last evening ) , and the
two houses joined in an address suitable to the occasion . A rewavdof £ 1 , 000 wasofferedj but in vain , for the diBcoveryofthe criminal . Our late Sovereign , William IV ., was likewise exposed to an attempt , fortunately unsuccessful , at violence , while His Majesty was attending Ascot races ; and ourV beloyed Queen has , as is still well remembered , been before placed in peril through the insanity of the man named Oxford , who ia still detained "ia- custody in Bethlehem Hospital on account of his lunacy . On the occasion of the last mentioned attempt , it was at first rumoured that the unfortunate man was only the tool of a regularly organised bodv ,, whose object
it was to assassinate the Queen , and that he had chanced to be the one amongst its members on whom tho lot fell to make the atrocious attempt . However , it was afterwards clearJy proved that he had no accomplices , and that he had committed the act while in a state of insanity . It is sincerely to be hoped that the man who was guilty of the abominable and cowardly attempt at assassination yesterday will likewise prove to be a lunatic . If that fact be established , though her Majesty ' s subjects will sympathise not one jot less with their Queon on the occasion , they will feel relieved from those apprehensions and fears they might otherwise entertain . —Globe .

K . K . PHILP . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR . —I have yet to complain of the disposition you evince in the Star of each week , to create an unfavourable impression in the Riinds of tho Chartist body respecting my acts . In yonr paper of the 28 th of May , a note purporting to be from " the Buth Chartists , " asserts that Messrs . Vincent and Philp bave created division , and formed another Society . I have denied this emphaticary before , and regret again to ba called upon to reiterate the denial . The division in Bith ilittle though it be ) -was not created by Vincent mid Philp , but through tho conduct of your reporter , -which his already been amply commented on iu the Star and
/ indicator , and condemned by resolutions passed at meetings in Bath , by large majorities of the Chartists " I deny that any society has been formed in Bath by either Vincent or Philp , or any persons with whom we h % ve connexion . Nor has any political society , that I know of , been recently formed , the origin of which : may either directly or indirectly be attributed to us . We have opened a large and comfortable room , capable of accommodating 1 , 500 persons—it is lit with , gas , and situated in the heart of the city , and this is applied to the purposes of the Nuiivmi Charter Association , his a general council for its management , and is under the guidance of the English Executive—and I have the greatest reason to expect tbat , ere long , it will render most essential service to cur good cause . ''
I regret that you permit your reporters to write their own prejudices or feelings , rather than Important facts , and that thus many good and confiding Chartists are misled . I hope yon will make the Star that which it ought to be—a faithful mirror of the Chartist movement , and use its influence to promote union and extend organisation . I take this opportunity of expressing my heartfelt satisfaction at the -welcome reception I have rutt with in all the towns I bave passed through since leaving London . I have had most excellent meetings , and enrolled upwards of two hundred and fifty members in our Association . Everywhere iwhen risked ) I bave explained my views on the Sturge system , respecting which , I , with others , was so hastily condemned ; and my explanations hav « j j-iven the utmost satisfaction , and won forme ( I hesitate not to aBser , ) the love and esteem of all who listened to them .
In ShdSeld , after explaining myself to a party of fiends , a councillor of our association , of Fig-treis-lane , siid , " Ah . ' in what a different light I see and understand it now—how ara the people misled . ' " In Bradford , after my lecture , a working man came forward and seized my hand , and pressing it warmly , said , " I beleng to the Manningham Association , and when I saw the report of the Northern Slur , I moved : i vote of censure on you , and it was carried unanimously . I have watched you very close ever since , and am convinced of my error ; and I feel it my duty to ask your pardon for having thus injured you . " I thanked him for his honourable conduct , and told him I wanted not my pardon asked , but a mere expression of confidence . I could hardly part from my friend , he
seemed so hurt at what he bad done . At Queenshead , I was questioned on my conduct , gave an explanation , and received a unanimous vote of confidence . At Halifax , the good old veteran in cur cause , Mr . B . Rushton , questioned we on the subject . He said he had sanctioned a vote of censure which had been passed by the Halifax Chartists , and had moved an addition to it wbieh had made it stronger ; but he now begun to view my motives in a very difi ' erent light . He , therefore , put tbe questions to me , in the best of feeling , that I might bave an opportunity of explaining myself . The vote of censure had been passed upon me in this place unanimously , and on this occasion the prime movers in it were present . I entered on a plain and unequivocal explanation . I sought not to coax
my audience into approbation . I condemned them for having censured without an investigation of the case , and concluded by saying that I rejoiced in what I had done , because , although it had raised prejudico against me , it had materially benefltted the Chartist movement , and I . declared that , -when a similar opportunity occurred , I should act iu the same manner , with the tanie motives . A Chartist brother moved a 7 ote of confidence . It was seconded ; and an amendment was moved that the expression of confidence be accompanied with thanks . The original motion was withdrawn , and the decision was unanimous and enthusiastic . In several ether places I have also received votts of confidence and thanks ; and thus am amply compensated for all the ills I have endured through misrepresentation .
I trust you will , in fairness , allow this letter to appear in yeur next ; and if 1 may presume to tender a few words of advice to you , they shall be to this effect -. —Let all the reports iu the Star be founded oh truth and impartiality ; let its influence be directed against the peopled enemies everywhere , and do not every week mate deadly direct and indirect thrusts at the people ' s friends and advocates . Look to men ' s actions , and allow these to speak for themselves ; but do not impute motives to men you do not know , and whose hearts and minds you cannot read . Let your sole endeavonr be , to gather up the scattered strength of our body to illumine their minds , and warm their hearts , and sheer them on in the struggle , until liberty is enjoyed by alL TbiiB , like tbe Star of Bethlehem you -will conduct the '' . good and \ me . " men to their Saviour .
I make these remarks in friendship , fully bearing in mind the resolution of the Convention , on which / am determined to act . And in conclusion , 1 desire all who have presumed to judge hastily of my motives , to vrateh narrowly and unceasingly the actions of ¦ ROEEBX KEMP PBtL ? -

HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , May 31 . The first business of importance in bothHouseaoi Parliament was the agreeing to- an address to her Majesty , congratulating her on her escape from the " atrocious and cowardly" attempt on her life , and expressing the feelings of loyalty and devotion which actuated the legislature . " The address was proposed in the House of Lords by the Dake of Wellington ; and a message was sent down to the Coinmona , asking their concurrence in it . A committee to manage the conference was accordingly appointed ; and on its return , Sir B . Peel proposed the adoption of the address , or rather the concurrence of the House in it , expressing , with considerable emotion , his feelings on the occasion . ¦ ¦ •'¦ . v . i v \
Lord John Russell seconded the motion , giving utterance to similar sentiments ; and the concurrenca of the House was expressed by an unanimous shout of assent ' .- ... y . ' -. - . - ¦ . ¦ ¦; . -. . ' . - •¦ . " . ¦ . ¦ . ' . ¦ " ¦ It was intimated by Sir B . Peel that her MajeBty would receive the address on Wednesday . It was ultimately agreed that the House should meet at a quarter-past two for the purpose of joining their Lordships in going up with the address . On the mo tion for tha resuming of the adjourned debate on the third reading of the Income Tax Bill , Mr . Labouchere asked a question relative to the rumoured intention of the French Government to raise the duties on linen-yarn imported .
Sir Robert Peel replied tbat some snch information had reached them , but that the British Government had promptly given an expression of its regret at the adoption of this intention , should it be so determined on by the French Governrrienti We . were now engaged in such commuhicationa with other winegrowing countries , as might make the people of the South of France deeply regret the suspension of tkeir intercourse with this country . Several other questions were asked ; one by Mr * Disraeli , addressed to Sir John Hobhouse , respecting the suppression of some of the documents connected
with tb ' a occupation of Afghanistan ; and a question from Mr . Vernon Smith , addressed to Sir James Graham , respecting what be considered to be " the theatrical parade , " and unseemly proceedings , on the occasion of the preaching of the '' condemned sernon " on the Sunday before Good's execution . Sir James Graham concurred in opinion with Mr . V . Smith as to the impropriety of the proceedings , but said that the Secretary of State for the Home Department had no direct control over the civic authorities , though he had no doubt that they would attend to any representlons which might ba made to them .
Mr . H u h e then took occasion , on the third reading of the Income Tax Bill , to give expression to his sentiments on the commercial situation and prospect * of the country , and the commercial moasures of the present government . He regarded Lord Palmerston as the evil genius of the late Government , leading this country on from war to war ,. ' till it was plunged in the mire of the financial difficulties in which the present Government fouad it . Sir R . Peel should deal with public affairs as he would with his own , and not permit any wasteful and unneceBsiry expenditure of the public money , in keeping up naval and military establishments tar her yond tho exigencies of the public service . The country was now kss able te bear the pressure of additional taxation than when its commercial affairs wero in a prosperous condition ; and on these and other grounds , which be stated at some length , he opposed the bill .
Sir Charles Napier expressed his strong disapprobation of any proposition for reducing our naval and military establishments , but , at the same time , deprecated additional taxation so long as the monopolies in corn and sugar were maintained . After some observations from Colonel Wyudham and Mr . Curteia , Mr . F . ' T . BARrSG asked if tbia were a bill which apportioned the burden of taxation fairly and equally on the public ? There was no allowance to be made for losses under different schedules ; and a merchant might have to pay his income tux on a given amount of
stock , while his losses in trade might be double the amount of his dividends , and thu ? the actual result leave him without any income at all . Passing , in review the different arguments against the bill . He pointed out the breach of faith in taxing the stock belonging to foreigners , not resident in this country ; and txpressed bis fears for the result of the application of a tax on industrial capital , leading probably to its abstraction from the trade of this country . Tho moral influence of this tax was also to be taken into account , as its tendency , from its inquisitorial nature , would be disastrous to tbe character of the country .
The Chancellor of the Exchequer re-adduced the former arguments in support of un income tax , contending th ^ t there now existed that exigency in the public finances which called for its imposition . The collection of the tax is to be placed under the Commissioners of Assessed Taxes , who will be enabled to do so at an additional cost of about £ 30 , 000 to their present establishment -, and the entire txpence of collection , including establishment , salaries , ^ travelling expences , &c . < kc , will not be above one-half of the expeneo of the collection of the former income tax , which , in . 1815 , was about £ 300 , 000 . . Mr . Mangles entered into a review of the condition of our Indian finances , with a view of shewiiigth . it they were not in the embarrassed state asserted by Sir Robert Peel when he proposed the income tax .
Sir R . H ., lNGLis expressed his regret that his suggestion bad not been adoptad by the Government , of only taxing Income above £ 150 , which would have been a great boon to a large class of people of small incomes , varying from £ 150 to £ 200 . Mr . Villiers contended that the income-tax was politically unwise ; and , practicallyi atrociously unjust . Its necessity had arisen from bad legislation , interfering with trade , limiting the home market , diminishing expenditute , and deteriorating the condition of the people . I Air . D'Israelt replied to spin © of the statements of Mr . Mangles on the subject of our Indian finances . Mr . Brotijerton argued that the income-tax must necessarily fall on the working classes , inasmuch as any tax on trade diminishes profits , and reduces
wages . On a division , there appeared For the third reading of the Bill ... 255 Against it .. ¦ 149 -106 Certain amendments -were then proposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , to one of which an exception was taken by Mr . George ' WU . li-aM . Wood , and another division took place , when there appeared 191 ) to i > 0 in support of the Government .
