Salfbrd , SWELLINGS of the NECK , all Scrofulous Diseases , whether . from recent Syphilis , or hereditary causes , and every form of malady , which resist the cooimonly-knowh modes of treatment , are also , by a practical system of remedial agency , effectually cured . \ J . .: To those conversant with the history of Surgery and Medicine , it is . well known , that , up to the present time , these maladies have defied all and every combined effort of the medical literati ; and that from a gpneral ignorance of healing agents , aucli is Still the inadequate state of what has been called " regular practice , " that no means known offer the unfortunate sufferer any rational hopes of relief .

ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF THE STUGITES AT LEICESTER .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOB . THE 1 K STAS . Srs , Darint my recent brief imprisonment at Stafford , I rtflvcted ranch i » s I hare already intimated in your columns ) upon the grievous fact , that liberty has tea stifled . , in its growth in this country , chiefly through ( he suicidal guards of its advocates . My reflections were deepened by conversations with poor Ellis , with Linney , with Arthur CNeil , with Mr . Roberts , of Batfe ( one of my attornie *); and also by the tenor of a secret cerlespondenoe which I contrived to hold with a fellowp riaoner , of intelligence eqn « I to any I have mentioned , but whose n&me * I most not , at present , detelope . BemoTftd from the exciting influence of contest ourselves , ve could not help regarding our victimised condition aa being the effect , In a great degree , of the
mad broils which hare bo long distracted and torn our lanki . " How omnipotent might the advocates of goaty be , " we said again and again , " if they did not giro their enemies the Advantage by fighting against each other , instead of combining their forces against Hie tyrannic foe 1 ** For my own part , I here openly and candidly avow , that from the moment of my liberation up to yesterday evening , I hare been unremittingly pursuing the object which these reflections and conversations had rendered to my view , of paramount importance , namely , union vrith all trio were 'honestly seeking Die enfranchisement of the people My "first words , on re-eDtuiiig ^ Leicester , while the procession halted in the Market-place , were " Forgiveness for my enemies ; blessings for them that curse me ; prayers for them that despitefully use me and persecute me I—and thai spirit—God ia my witness ! I have ought all along to preserve in myself , and to enforce
Is ethers . I commenced a aeries , of personal visits to Mich of tbe Complete Suffrage party ai 1 conceived to be uprightly and sincerely seeking the people ' s deliverence : among others , I met Mr . William Baines , " the church-rate-martyr , " as he is usually called , and am ready to testify to the fact that Mr . Baines evinced a spirit every way worthy of the name he has Ecquired , by his noble suffering for truth ' s sake . I found a few BpMts kindred to Mr . JB ' a .: but they were only few . Mncb to tsj surprise , and still more deeply to my sowow , I found that the Reverend J . P . Mnrsell—( successor to the immortal patriot and philanthropist , Robert Hall , and bosom-friend of tbe Reverted Mr . Hiall , editor of the Nonconformist ) —was not only backward in exhorting his brethren of the Complete Suffrage party to g * V 8 up the spirit of hostility to the Chartists , jmt was actually most energetic in stimulating them to continued opposition ,
The approaching Birmingham Conference seeming to offer a happy occasion for uniting the really honest of either party , I openly avowed a willingness to cooperate with the Complete Suffragists , and prevailed with my Scakspearians to depute their secretary to wait npon tbe secretary of the Smrgite Union , in order , if possible , to Come to Bfair indfnandJy understanding , and to engage that the representation to the Conference should be equally shared by the Chartists and Complete Suffragists . In the midst of all these offers , and in the face of all my declarations that I desired , above all things , union with all hsnest and true reformers , — an advertisement appeared in a Leicester paper , stating t&at " A meeting of electors of the Borough * would be held is tbe New Hn . ll , at a certain time , for appointing ftro delegates to the Birmingham Conference . My Sfcaksperians immediately took fire . "Is this their mion V they asked , " Are they about to hold a
holeand-corner meeting , and to cheoae two of their own , witbon : allowing us a voice in it ? Is this their complete suyrage ? " Acain and again I paced to and fro among the Sturgite pirty , expostulating and remon-Btrating . but all in Tain , until I forewarned them that their meeting would be illegal , and that their itf . egaies VKvJd be liable to transportation if elected at a meeting from which the non-electors were shut out . Beginning to feel alarmed , they postponed the intended secret meeting for one -week , and the Rev . J . P . ilursell ( according to infarmation given me by one of his own friends ) set off to Birmingham , with the express intention of persuading Joseph Starge to declare , thai the Conference should not be held ! " I will not sit in a Conference where Cooper is ! said this meek and lowly disciple of him who prayed for his murderers while hanging upon the cross : " I will have Do share in a deputation with such a fellow , and I know be will be elected !"
Yet I persevered in straggling to drive out the foul spirit of prejudice , by offering union , resolved to test the party fully , now I had begun , and net to desist from my attempt until tbe animus of these pretended friends of liberty was so completely laid bare , that all men , of -whatever political creed , might b « able to jndfe ef it At the commencement of the present week , however , I learned ( again from one of the 8 tnrgite party ) thai I ntt ! d have no hope of seeing union or any thing in the shape of it ; and that , although these people had at first given up the idea of holding their secret meeting ,
under the belief that it was illegal , —yet they were sow determined to hold it . Well , last night W& 3 the tuna appointed for holding this " . postponed" flecret meeting , and , Is the morning , what should I receive but a form *! letter from a druggist of the Complete Suffrage party , who had , all along , shown himself most fixedly disposed to view the proposition of union in tbe same friendly light as Mr . William Baines , —giving me polite notice that I mn * t cease to enter Ms ekop . ' . ' : I knew , now , to a certainty , what to expect I was , now sure that unloa would never be accepted by these false and hollow pretenders to
Sterility . Tet I persevered 1 I went to this " postponed " meeting of electors , in company with Messrs . Crow , Dewick , Wella , Pacer , HnHicfc , GH > ddard , and others , ill electors , and members of my " Shakspesrian brigade . " We were admitted by the private entrance to the New "ffnTij while a large crowd of non-electors at both doors vere refused admittance by tbe police—another beautiful complete suffrage notion . I walked upon the platform , sat down , and was silent At length Mr . Manning , chairman of the Sturgite Committee , accompanied by seme of his own party , walked into the hall , and fold all assembled that the meeting must be adjourned cqcb the son-electors who were refused admission .
Bade gach a floLse ! I then calmly and quietly addressed Winning asd his party , conjuring them to accept my offir of union , and entreating them , if they truly desired fee people's deliverance from their miseries , to be noted with them . Instead of union , I was met with Rofia and sneers ; yet I did not desist " We ate * 31 icg , " I said , " to go with you in this matter , if you ire willing ; my party will Agree to rote for two of your cwn members , if yon Tote for two of ours . I > = t the people but be shown that you are really their friendspi » 6 e them but on an equality with yourselves , in thifl sitter , and all will be well . " " We want none of your lfriee , " was the reply , " We will have nothing to de * 5 thyonJ "—and one cunning patriot added , " Wo will Bate Tri& the people , but not with y * u !
At length / the noise increased at tbe doors , and ifraiTTng and his party finding they could not get ont tf the ball to " adjonrn , " without admitting the people , —wme one was let ont of the back door , to go and king a stronger body of police . Some of the stargites who remained within , however , trfutened the inside double doors at the public Stance ; and the non-electors then rushed in , in bunfr&d& , and took possession of the Hall with cheers and topping of bands . Mr . Wells and Mr . Facer then pro-P « d that Mr . Crow do take the chair , and the piblic * &aig waa opened in the most quiet and orderly BMnrcy .
wten Ht . Crow had opened the meeting , I addressed 8 * people at some length ; calling upon them to wit-**» the spirit witfi which I had conducted myself toaroj all partks , sirce my liberation , and askiug 8 » i whether either they or 1 could henceforth hesi-&e one moment in on belief aa to whether tbe Stogjtes really wished to be united with tha people .

It was—forsaking 0 Connor I I was taunted , again and again , with my servility , and the general servility of Chartists , to Feargui ; That 1 always disowned : for every man lies who dares to call Copper servile ; but my invariable answer -was " No ; I cannot lose my devoted attachment to O'Connor , as long as I have the same confidence in the nobleness of his heart that I have now . I have conversed with greater intelligence than O'Connor , bat I have never known a heart more generous , more devoted to great principles , more earnestly and enthusiastically and disinterestedly consecrated to the pursuit and establishment of them . 1 may be mistaken , but I have watched the movements of O'Connor ' s hear ) in private , and I think I know what I am talking about . "
When told that I dare not act independently of Pearyus , I replied , ' I have not written to O'Connor since I left Stafford jail , nor received a line from him ; and I will not write to him till this matter is brought to an issue . " And I have kept my vord . Upon the whole—wounded as I feel by the circumstance , that the sincere and earnest yearnings of my heart should have met with these murderous rebuffs from men whom I at first thought it a duty to woo into union with the people , because they were their real friends ; yet I am now solidly satisfied with tbe result , inasmuch as it will prove beyond a donbt , to hundreds in Leicester who halted half-way , that my old and severe ' policy of opposing the hollow Sturgltes ro » t aod branch , was founded on the strictest propriety .

CONCLUSION OF A 2 f ESSAY ON THE PRESENT SYSTEM . The gr eat error of the people is to leave all to Government—to expect that Government will remedy all evils . True it is that Government was instituted for this pur * pose , and that the people are taxed enormously for its support Our Government , too , in particular , tells us that it is the best in the world . Tbe Queen , we are told , can do no wrong—she is as infallible as the Pope —the peers aru all wise as Solons , and the Commons are the best-bred gentlemen in Europe ! How could the people expect anything but injustice and oppression from such a legislature—how could they expect those wise peers , those gentle Commons , would spread misery and desolation through the land . So far from
proposing a remedy , our Government will not listen to tbe remedies proposed by others ; it discountenances all reform , persecutes reformers , and will not so much as gufftr the evils to be inquired into , because it knows they would be traced to itself . The groans of the people are answered by laughter , their petitions are treated , with scorn , their remonstrances are rejected with anger . Government says it can do no goodwhat then is the good of it ?—is evil its good ? When restitution ia demanded , a ay is raised that they want to destroy property . This comes w « U from those who are the descendants of the Norman banditti that parcelled out the land with their swords—from those whose ancestors were reformat ] oes , and pilfered the poor . Turn from tbe State to the Church
—atk the bishops snd they say , " more churches most be built i" a remedy that would aggravate the disease . What , then , must the people do ? Must they emigrate ? Not remain at home as compelled Cromwell did ; but not for vengeance but for justice . It is clear that the people have not brought tbe nation to this pass , though they suffer most : and it is clear that none but the people can get the nation out of it Let them unite for this sacred purpose . God has given the numbers to their side ; the oppressors are few—the oppressed the many . Let the voice of Liberty call us together as a hen calleth her chickens when the hawk is abroad—as a trumpet < calls the hosts to the fight ; but beware . ' Listen not to violence ; it is a moral effect that is wanted , aod a moral cause can alcne bring itabont ; it is a lasting benefit ; injure not the cause by any temporary outbreak- Keep patient as you have hitherto done under every provocation . Listen not to rage , but to reason ; not to rapine , but to right
Let all your passions , all your purposes have one safe vent , and that the Charter . It is your own ! why do you suffer things that have to boy mustachios to make them look like men , te keep it from you ? Have it : remember the ¦ wrongs— the sufferings of your wives and little ' ones . How long will you see tnem sufiei hunger , and cold , and contempt ? Save them , Bave yourselves , save England . It is the country of the great Alfred , of Nature ' s own Shakespeare , of startaught Newton , of the wise Lord Bacon , of Milton , the poet of lost Paradise , and of our lost Republic , of Dryden and Pope , of colessal John , of Garrick and Keari , cf Byron , " so sweet was ne ' er so fatal . " Shall it perish by the poison of a Russell or Normanby , a Paimerston , Melbourne , Pt * l , or Wellington—things only fit to figure ia caricatures ? Forbid it Englishmen ! ye will if ye are mea !

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION OF IRELAND . Irishmen , —I have long wished for an opportunity of addressing you on the all-impoitant subject of a Repeal of the Legislative Union betwixt Great Britain and Ireland . IIy object in doing oo at the present , is for the purpose of drawing your attention to your present mode of agitation to inquire into its merits , expose its futility , and above all to endeavour to induce you to exercise your own reasoning faculties on a question which affects yon bo deeply .
Feeling an eamtst convietion of the necessity for more strenuous exertions on your part , and conscious that it is the . duty as well 38 the interest of every man to lend whatever assistance may be in his power for tbe attainment of justice , I presume to trespass on your attention , and shall continue to do so as long as my humble opinions may be considered worthy of insertion in he columns of the poor man ' s paper—the Northern Star . There is scarcely a day passes but we bear of meetingB numefou&ly attended , speeches having been made which called forth the enthusiasm of the assembled thousands , and resolutions passed to continue the great contest (?) until Ireland obtain that justice to which she is pre-fcaiintntly entitled .
In the midst of all this display of patriotism , and giving due credit to the Repealers for their exertion * , it is etiil lamentable to remark that long as the agitation hn » txifittd , and enthsiastic as you undoubtedly are , there is Btill no visible or even apparent progression towards the desired orject To those who affect to be the friends of Ireland , and who value measures by their rounds , and only join in an agitation from a desire to become popular , and other and not less unworthy motives , such an assertion may be . considered monstrous folly , and subject the writer to severe animadversion ; nay , I have little doubt , very many of the moett honest ef the Irish people will be apt to conscientiously differ with me . But a little reflection will soon convince the fastidious , that the assertion , however unpleasant , is not only true , but admits of undeniable proof .
In order to investigation in the most simple manner , it will be only necessary to look a little below the surface , t # strip it of its extraneous coveriag and expose its actual position , and your positive prospects of success . But here I fancy I hear some wily orator exclaiming , ** that fellow knows nothing about it—be ia mad—don't listen to his dangerous doctrine—he is a Chartist , " and wants to make you aa bad as himself . ' And then , with a most astonishing volubility , interlarded , with " blarney , " and a small touch of the " brogue , " enumerate all the advantages which have not , and "which are to bo derived from the present agitation for an ullerior measure ; not forgetting- to recount the achievement * of the mighty leaders" who have done ao much for Ireland , and who still and will ever fight the people ' s battles , until the
Union ia rtttored to Ireland , and the Parliament assembled in College Green 2 Yes , I can almost fancy I see the bunt of feeling which such an oration is always certain to produce , and hear the honest , but misled multitudes sending forth hearty responses to his appeal to stick bj O'Connell sad the Union , This may be all very good , and would be most undoubtedly bo , were the parties concerned consistent to each other . It is not my intention to indulge in any feeling or comment onanyao tjj of the leaden of the Irish people , save those which affeet the cause which they profess to advocate . I have only to do with the political acts of such parties , and leave you te judge for yourselves ; and could I but inspire yo 4 with the resolution to do so , I am confident X would render an essential service to the cause of freedom , and place the Union within
your grasp-In order atilliartfeer to simplify the inevestigauon , you will in the first place consider , that man was born tree , and nature's God proclaimed him Lord of the Creation . Tbe beasts of the fidd , the birds of the sir , the fishes of tbe eea , all were made subservient to his will—indeed Ms will was absolute . Stamped

with the image of his Maker , he claimed obedience from every living thing ; and although , when subsequently men multiplied on the earth , taey from a voluntary choice submitted to be governed by their fellows ; they did not at the same time forfeit their right to think , nor even to act for themselves . It was by an act of their will , that they appointed rulers , and by the same authority they were justified in deposing them . It j | s , however , the province of man to become in * dolent , and thereby allow others to think for him , or afford opportunities foi inroads on Mb prerogative ; and so it was , more active spirits exercise I their will over their fellows , which infringement in due time , became converted into habit—from habit into law—and from law iuto despotism . Thus it was with Hian in B general sense , and thus it Is with the Irish in a
particular sense . They , it is true , have long bad to contend against , or bend to the wil of a host of merciless tyrants , who from the days of tbe first adventurers from the English coast have tram * pled on the rights , aud triumphed in tbe ruins , of their country . Man waj not , however , created with fixed principles of indolence in bis nature ; and thus we find that , on many occasions , when he perceived his piivllege wrested from him , and awoke to » sense of bis prostrate condition , he assumed the right to think , and subsequently to will his liberty , and having done so , he acted on the impulse , and became free . Ia those cases it generally happened that one , or at most a lew , persons were the first to think ; tkosecommunicated their thoughts to others ; and thus a spirit of inquiry was excited , from which proceeded great and mighty revolutions in society .
According to tbe principles of human nature , man is bound to defend himself from tbe attacks of enemies ; and thus , if a state be oppressed by a ruler , and that only one man discover a remedy for the abuse , he is bound to communicate to his sufftjri . 'g brethren , stating his thoughts on the subject , and submitting his opinions to theh judgment In this way an entire nation may be made to reflect on their position , and ultimately to Bhake off their chains . But in all such cases , aa the general interest is at stake , and as it to essential to pillane the safest as well as the speediest method of obtaining an enfranchisement from slavery and oppression , it behoves the sufferers to carefully select and adopt such means as will facilitate the desired object
It not unfrequently happens that men who have long suffered oppression , when they begin to see through the mist which surrounds them , grasp at any feasible plan for their emancipation without having duly considered the possibility of success by such a course as in the excitement of tbe moment they adopt And thus it is , and has been , in a great measure , the reason why so many failures have taken place in political struggles . In order , therefjre , to guard againBt unfavourable results , it is not only wise , but tbe duty of the oppressed , if taey find their cause in a state of collapse , or evincing no signs of progression , to change their plan of action—to substitute more efficient remediesand , when adopted ,. to carry them vigorously into execution . An agitation commenced under such circumstances , and based upon strict principles of moral right , guided by reason , and a firm determination to persevere , would be the most certain means Of obtain * ing what was legally sought for .
A nation or a people acting in nnlson have only to be free " to will it" This you already know , and knowing it , permit me to ask yon why it is that Irishmen have not acted as the oppression under which their couutry laboured demanded ? Surely you , above all others , ought to be anxious to shake off the burden which baa so long bung like a millstone around your necks I You have wisdom sufficient to understand the natural equality of man , and how is it that still you are slaves , and allow yourselves to be trodden upon by men who can
claim no other superiority over you save a little wealth , and even that is not justly theirs ? You have sensibility sufficient to feel for the hungry children of your bosoms , and perception / sufficient to see the pampered despots revelling in the luxuries which your labour has produced , and of which you are denied the smallest share . Yon daily see the houseless wanderers who eke out a starving existence , exposed alike t « summer ' s heat and winter's cold , whilst the despoilers are happy and at ease , enjoying the patrimony , and living in affluence upon what should be theirs .
Oh , yts ! yon see , and yon feel all this , and I am aware you would wish to icdiess those evils ; the very fact of your joining in an agitation for such a purpose argues favourably for you on that point ; but it may uot be improper to ask yon whether the remedy you would apply is adequate to the object to be obtained ? Remember the best plans are often faulty and capable of improvement , and that in all great and important questions , wben much good is to be obtained or much evil to be eradicated , aud particularly when the interests of a nation are at stake , much discernment and energy are requisite .
You , aa a nation , seek for the romoval of an evil , or in other words , you seek for a Repeal of the Legislative Union ; this is -what yon ostensibly Bebk for , although , after all , the mere repeal of that law wonld not have the magical influence you so fondly hope for ; but as I am now only about to examine the mode in which you seek repeal , I bhall defer my remarks on Ita efficacy for the present How then , may I ask , do you act coneerniug the removal of this great and acknowledged evil ? Is it not a notorious fact that with all the noise and apparent interest bestowed upon it , you are Still in nearly the same position as regards political Btrength as you were eleven years ago ? And if there is anything wanting to substantiate this fact , the words of Mr . OConnell , when he spoke of obtaining Repeal in
twenty years hence , completely proveB it This is a melancholy fact , and to remedy H . is the duty of every man who is a lover of justice and liberty , and above all who lays claim to the name of an Irishman . You will doubtlesss ask , bow are we to act . and by what means are we to work out our object ? The answer is simple , and sucb that tbe roost illiterate may understand ; even O'Connell himself has long since pointed ont the means , by his agency in forming the document of tbe " People ' s Charter . " He has aleo told you " the greater the moral power , the greater tbe outward pressure . " His words are striking ; he says , Where tbere is a lereat moral power , there also then Is a physical power , f-r wbtre a man ' s heart is , there also would bis hand be if aeed required it . " Here then we hare your own leader ' s opinion on tbe value of numbers , not t » speak of his very plain hint about " physical force ; " and his recommendation to extend your principles and recruit your ranks . But let me ask , what party ever was great
aud triumphant , that was not guided by the influence and good example of their leaders ? It is a requisite condition , that all men who set themselves up as guides or teachers of any doctrine , should also practice what they preach , and thus give proof of sincerity , and induce those whom they would Instruct to follow in their footsteps . Now in politics an well as other subjects this condition is indispensable , and to a country situated as Ireland is , example , as well as precept , is even more essentially requisite . Irishmen have been so long and so often tho dupes of their own credulity , that they are naturally timid in taking up a question which might possibly lead t « an aggravation of their sufferings . The p * rty professing to lead you in the surest , Fafwt , and speediest way to the desired object should be the first to venture , and the la&t to desist He should be consistent , firm , and determined to sacrifice even his life in the " people ' s cause ; " be should , to sum up in one word , be a " patriot "
I will , with the kind permission of the editor , continue my remarks on this subject next week ; until then I implore of you to Tffl-ct on your unenviable condition—to lay by your prejudice , and listen to the voice of reason , liberty , and truth . Veriias .

THE ELECTION OF DELEGATES TO THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE . TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE BBaDFOED DISTRICT . My Beloved Fbiends , —It is not twelve months since you and I covenanted together that we would not be re-baptized . At a public meeting ef Chartists in tbe Social Institution , I reminded you at what price we had first secured our name—I appealed to you whether yon wonld change that nanie , and you answered " NO ! " I shall have to see before I believe that you art thavped . Whatever arrangements may have been made calculated to compromise your principles , I cant think that you are a party t-o such compromise .
The question to be settled at Birmingham is " the question ^ - the vital question . It is just that of the Charter , or no charter—the Charter , or another - * BUI to be laid before Parliament . " It then you are willing to give up your Charter for another " Bill , " send men to Birmingham to vote accordingly ; but if you mean to stick to the Charter , send four " out and onters , " not two and two , or perhaps three Sturgites and one Chartist Send no trimmers—none who carry a Chartist card in the left hand , and a Sturgite caxd in the right It will not do to say that the proposed Sturgite candidates are ** pledged" to our principlesone proved man is worth a hundred pledged men . It tells a poor tale for a man wben the people are under any necessity of pledging him at all . 1 thought the people of England had had enough of broken pledgespledges so often repeated on the hustings , but as . certainly broken in Parliament .
Now dont do the thing wrongly and have it to repent afterwards ; be on tbe safe side , and you'll have no need of repentance . If the majority of the Conference decide on another " Bill" ( think of tbe Reform Bill , which was the pet-measure of this same party ) the Charter will , with you tacit consent , be virtnally laid aside . As the minority is bound by tbe majority , if you be in the minority you will become a helpless party to the surrender of that Charter by which you have so often sworn to Btand . Remember if another " Bill " be draws np , there will then be two Bills before the country , than which nothing could be likely to be more fatal to that oneness of system and organization ao necessary to your ultimate success . 1
•• Whata in a name ? " Nothing , bat jast this : every party loves iu own name , and distrusts every body ' s professed friendship who despises it Tell me not of the honesty of the Stargites , if they were honest they would come and join us ( . heartily and cordially . " He that is ashamed of me is not worthy of me . " Tbe fact that they are ashamed of our name proves that they are not converts to oar principle * . What would the Wesieysne , think of a man who professed to be converted to their faith , but was to object to become one

It is said
, somewhat plausibly , that if there be but one party present there can be no discussion . And what of that ? That Conference will not be a meeting for discussion merely , but one at which an important qnestion will have to be decided , not by diacussion , but by votes .

CHARTISTS LOOK OUT—BREAKERS AHEAD . TO THK EDITOR OP THE NOKTHERN STAR _ SiR ,-. Much has been said and written of late about Union , but the motives which have actuated each party concerned in that union is now beceming painfully evident . I speak more particularly of London , although the same spirit of opposition has displayed itself in the provinces , though in some places in a more manly course than it has done here . Let the men of London beware of men who like reptiles would creep and crawl until they h % ve wormed themselves into the good opinions of their intended victims aud disarmed them of their suapicions , then turn and Bting them . I hesitate not to say that an under current is working rapidly and not less surely , and will speedily be developed , is , in fact , even now developing itself . Ominous indeed does it appear to hear an individual hitherto proving hinuelf a stern supporter ef the Charter in word and deed , to hear such
a person propose a resolution , at a delegate meeting , calling on the Chartist body not to attend Corn Law meetings , but allow them , to palm off their deceptioua reasonings unopposed on the unthinking of all classes ! And why should this be done , forsooth , for the sake of union J Another rails against , the people ' s paper for its stern and unflinching advocacy of the people's interests , and to crown the whole another deliver * a lecture the samo evening , digresses from . an interesting end beautiful subject to introduce wise saws on the benefit of a union with parties whose visible object is to betray us , and so far forgot himself , and the vital affinity our name bears to our principles , and our principles to our name , as to state that " so long as our principles were acknowledged , what ' s in a name ? " what do these things suggest ? That freetrade policy will produce treachery in our camp , unless the working men look well to it Let them look well to the conduct of their leaders .
To such as the foregoing observations may apply , let me add a few words . Remember the sacred character of the cause you are engaged in ; as patriots look on your Buffering country vainly striving with class-made laws , rapidly approaching the vortex of political strife , and borne down with unequal taxation and oppressive laws . Are you husbands ?—that your own wives may not be in the same condition , —look to the heart-rending poverty of the once happy hoineB of English artisans , —are you fathers ? let your exertions be given to
provide a just' system » f Government against the time your children shall be amenable to it—that blessinga may descend into your graves—that prosperity may again pervade this now unhappy land , and your posterity may be happy us men . . > Hold fast to those glorious principles you have avowed—let not the enemies of the working classes dare to trample on the movement—let us shew them we are sincere and determined , and victory will be ours .

DEATH OF A MOTHER ANJ ) HER INFANT FROM WANT OF COMMON NECESSARIES . On Friday afternoon an ic quest was held at the Paul ' s Head public-house , White ' s-row , Spitalflelda , before Mr . Baker , the Coroner , and a respectable Jury , on the bodies of Catherine Leary , aged 27 years , and her female infant " . . .. '• ; ; : \> . ' ;¦;;¦ ¦ ; " ,, ¦¦ ¦ . . ¦ : Mtb- Ridley , a midwifo belonging to the Maternity Society , stated that on Tuesday week she attended the deceased , who had one of the Society ' s tickets , at her lodgings , in Gun-yard , in that neighbourhood , and delivered her of a female child , Who WOJB then living . Witness subsequently visited the deceased twice , agreeably to the rules of the Society , and the last time sbe saw her was on Friday last , when both the child and the mother were living , but both in a very wretched state . ' ¦ '; ¦ -.. : . " ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ ' ¦ •' ¦ ¦ .-.. ' " " . ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦
In reply to the questions of the Jurors , the witness said the apartment occupied by the deceased was the most wretched sbe had ever been in , and the deceased herself bad not those necessaries required upon sueb an occasion . She ( witness ) repeatedly requested the husband to apply for parochial relief , but for aome reason or other he neglected to do so . Catherine Sullivan said she was cousin to the deceased , and was in the habit of seeing her frequently . The deceased told her it was ber intention to be confined at the worthouse , and that she should not make any application to be taken in there until the moment before her confinement Witness told hex it was very wrong of her not to do otherwise , but she still would have her own way . On the morning of Tuesday week ,
witness called upon the deceased , and found her very bad , and she had altogether a very bad time of it , but had been delivered of the infant about half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon of that day . The infant lived up to Monday morning last , when it expired ; and its mother died on Wednesday morning ; The witness further stated that Leary , thu husband of the deceased , had but very little work since his matriage , which took place about twelve months ago , and he and the deceased were in consequence in great wretchedness ; but , notwithstanding this , they had not applied to the parish , nor had any application been made on their behalf until Monday last Witness had seen Leary , the husband , on that morning , and could not account for his absence from the inquust
In reply to a Juror , the witness said the deceased bsd not even had her bed made from the time of her confinement until the period of her death , and this she thought , hastened her dissolution , Mr . Byles , one of the surgeons for the parish of Spltalflelds , said that ou Monday hist , Leary , the husband of the deceased , and Mr . Mason , the registrar of deaths , came to his Tiouse , and the latter informed him the former wished him to register bis deceased infant as having died from want , when the former added that such . was tbe case , and that his wife was then dying from the same cause . He ( Mr . Byles ) instantly went and Haw the wife , whom he found in a very bad state , evidently in the last stage of consumption . He gave an order for necessaries from the workhouse , which were without delay supplied , but it was then too late , and she died on Wednesday morning from , he had no doubt , an abscess on the lungs . ,
Several of the Jury were of opinion that , had the unfortunate woman been attended by a parish midwife , her life and that of her infant would have been spared , as sbe ( the midwife ) would insist upon her having proper necessaries in time from tha workhouse . Afier some discussion on tbe point , the Jury ultimately returned a verdict of . "' " Natural Death , accelerated by neglect , want , and destitution . "

ST . JAMES'S PARK . —Sunday . " Now ' s the winter , all ragged , bleak , and hoar—We hear the ' torrent ' s rush , the tempest's roar ; Now rattling hailstones on the glass resound , And on tbe roofs and pavement leap and bound—Then heaps of snow and nipping frOBta arise , The dreary landscape strikes one with surmise . Equadrate Earth 1 sure all wise men must bless Pure Nature ' s painter , through His native dress . " This was the appropriate introduction to the lecture of Captain Axkerley on Sunday .: The worthy lecturer commenced by alluding to' the congratulations of the artists in oil and water colours , which he had received for his previous l ecture , reported in the Star of last Monday—he was happy to serve all
associations for the cultivation of the arts , and , moreover , particularly desirous to instruct parents that they might impart the knowledge to their children . The lectuter proceeded by stating that , as colours were immortal , . vthrougb . man ' s agency , it was necessary ¦ to state whence they arose . Man , alone , of all animals , could with : ease look upward to the zenith , and downward to the nadirupward with veneration and downward with intellectual wonder . It was . of the downward lpok at colours , in connection with mother earth , that he was abont to speak . The earth consists of Tery minute sad almost Impalpable particles , cohering very slightly together—these particles do not burn , nor are they malleable , are easily dividl We , but hot soluble la water . Properly there are but two sorts ; first , argillaceous
earths harden in the fire , and do net dissolve in tbe mineral adds ; secondly , alkalinei ( Baity ) or calcareous earths , which in fire burn to lime ; and dissolve In mineral acids . One of these kinds was the " painter ' s earth , " from the mineral yellow to the mineral green of tbe . Emerald Iile—ould Irelwrt ' a colour . The amalgamation for the painter ' s use is by vegetable oils—Unseed , nut or poppy—for prodncing body colours . He then reminded them of a case of a house painter who used fish oil to paint a stingy gentleman * house , which never dried in . The lecturer next expatiated on the mosaic pavements , alluded to that found at the French Protestant church , near Finch-lane , last year . To this pan of the mbjecfc we have hot space to do justice . It was ably handled . TJie next two subjects which were touched were Fresco and Encaustic
Painting , wnicfa took a large portion of the time occupied by the lecturer , namely , two honra . during which his audience seemed neither weary nor cold , although the weather was not very ibio \ unble . - > -Ei ) ening S ( ary of Monday . : ' : - - ''" ' ; ;; \ -r : .

MARKET INTELLIGENCE .
LOjidqn Corn Exchange , Monday , Dec . 12 Last week we had rather an extensive arrival of English Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , but that fresh up to-day , " especially as relates to the supply front the former county , was scanty ; and , owing to the humidity of the atmosphere , somewhat ont of condition . This morning the stands were , on the whole , fairly filled . As the attendance of both London and country buyers was rather numerous , the finest quality of Bed and White was taken off rather freely , on terms quite equal to those noted on this day se'Doight ; but the middling and inferior sorts , though not lower in value , commanded little attention . In fine Foreign Wheat rather more business was doing ; but we can notice no alteration in the rates . Bonded Grain wae » mere drug . We
have a very large quantity of Barley in the market Malting parcels maintained their value , but other sorts bad a-downward tendency . Malt was in fair supply , and sluggish inquiry at late rates . Oats Bold slowly at last week ' s [ currency . Beans , Peas , and Flour commanded little alteration . London Smithfibid Mabket , Monday , Dec . 12 . —This being the day appointed for the holding of thegreat Christmas Market , we had at a very early hour a large-attendance of butchers and graziers , from almost all parts of England , with an extensive number of the former residing in the m « tropolia ; hence , as might be conceived , the greatest animation aud bustle was apparent . Contrary to general expectation , die supply of beasts derived from our grazing districts was mueh more
superior'than that brought forward ( or a series of yean past ; indeed , we might venture to observe that there were not fifty forming it in any way beneath the middle quality—hence it elicited the ' surprise and approbation of ail present , aud reflected great credit upon the skill and . enterprise of the agricultural community The competition between the Hereford , Devon , Burham , and short-horned breeders , was so extremely keen that we scarcely know how , in the spirit of strict fairness , to award the palm to either in particular . However , for weight , size , and symmetry , including of course actual value , we might , we consider , state that the Herefords ( except in the instance of the Scots , which we shall have occasion to particularise below ) was as a whole triumphant , embracing aa of ost
they did ^ some the : m wonderful animals WO ever saw exhibited for sale in thiB market . Decidedly the best of this truly excellent breed were brought forward by Mr . Rowland , of Crealow , who had on offer about forty estimated to weigh nearly 200 atone , and for which £ 10 each was asked for the average of the drove . We next come to the Devons , which , though not quite so extensive in numerical strength as at the . corresponding market-day last year , well maintained their long-established fame ; yet , generally speaking , their weight was not quite so great as on that occasion There were about 400 splendid pure Durharns , consigned to various salesmen , and which were fully as good as in many preceding seasons . As to the shorthorns , these were more than usually prime , and those offering
by Mr . Robert Morgan , the property of Mr . Gr » odall , of Deeping Fen , and Messrs . Thomas and Wiseman , of Hoi beach , Lincolnshire , which gentlemen sent , also , some very prime Herefords , were certainly the best , and produced high figures ; while they were surrounded by crowds of people during the day . Tho Scots next command attention , and , notwithstanding we received few really good ones from Scotland , those exhibited by Mr . Vorley , and owned by Messrs . J . and H . Bayner , of the Isle of Ely , Cambridgeshire ( ten in number ) , were * scarcely ever equalled , much less excelled , these EUtpiifting creatures , whieh were estimated to weigh nearly 120 atone , were considered to be worth quite £ 32 per head , which will at once show that we have not overrated them . MeBsra . Qurrie * and Maidwell ,
as also several others , bad excellent shows of beasts : in fact , to do justice to this admirable collection Of stock , brought together , as will be conceded , under disadvantageous circumstances , would be impossible . As to the numbers , these were considerably less than last season , yet folly adequate to suit the wants cf , the buyers . At the commencement of the market they purchased slowly , but as the day advanced , the biddings became more spirited , and we are happy in being enabled to intimate that an advance in the quotations of Beef of from 2 d to 4 d per 81 bs , was firmly established , and a good clearance was effected previsuslyto the conclusion of the market . To prevent any misunderstanding at a time so important as this is , we beg to state that the highest general quotations for Beef
were from 49 4 d to 4 s 8 d per 81 bs ., theUgh < Jf COUrSe some cases could be named , in which from 4 s to 5 b per 8 lbs were obtained ; but as these figures were not those dealing as an average , we deem it proper to omit them from our tabular statement This we deem a matter of positive necessity to mention , as we find some statements giving higher rates , fer the general transactions , in the market than are warranted , by the actual trade . The numbers of Sheep were rather more than those of last year , and quite an unusual improvement was observed in their quality and condition . Downs , though rather scarce , were very good , and we must say-that that description of sheep , together with the Lincolns , the Leicesters , the Kents , and the Somersets , excited our admiration . And
we cannot pass unnoticed about forty Downs and polled Sheep in Mr . John Weall ' s pens , sent totbat gentleman by E F . Whittingstall , Esq ., of Langley-Berry , Hertfordshire . For weight , size , and shape , we should say the polled , descriptions certainly exceeded those ever shown in this market , and we have no hesitation whatever in stating that had they been shown in the yard of the Smithfleld dub , they would have carried off the prizes by that , society . Some of these extraordinary sheep weighed upwards of thirty stones , and for which £ 5 6 s . each were demanded . The mutton trade was some what , renovated , aud the currencies had an upward tendency , say of from 2 d . to 4 d . per lb ,, tbe Downs reaching , without much apparent difficulty , 4 ? . 6 d . per eight pounds . Calves came fresh to hand , and were
disposed of at last Friday ' s rise of 2 d . per lb . The Pork trade was tolerably steady at fully , but at nothing quotable beyond , late rates . From Lincolnshire , Leicester shire , . Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , we received 2 , 800 short-horns , runts , and Hereford ; from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 320 Scots , homelands , runts , &c . ; from our western and midland districts , 700 Devons , Durhams , runts . Herefords , and Irish beaata ; from other parts of England , 260 Herefords , runta , &c . ; from Scotland by steamers , 170 horned and polled Scots ; from Ireland , 80 beasts ; the remainder of the supply being made up by the stall-feeders , &c , in the neighbourhood of London . Not a single fresh
head of stock was on offer from abroad ; there being only a very , rough Hamburgh beast received , via Hull . Borodgh Hop Makket . —The raodeiate prices at which Mid Kent bags have been offered have produced a very steady inquiry for them since our last , at a run of from 2 a to 3 s per owt In moBt other kinds of Hops * a very moderate amount of business is doing , at late rates , and we see very little prospect of any material change in prices for some time to come .
