TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Fbiends , —You will have learned much from the debate in the House of Commons upon tb . 9 motion of Lord Howick , which still
" Drag * it » slow length aloDg . " The cloven foot of Whig Malthusianism is discernable through the mantle of philanthropy with which Howick and his supporters would shroud their real object . Having carefully perused the several speeches , I do not find a line worthy of comment after Mr . Ferraud's splendid speech , save and except the following League-annihilating passage ia the Bpeech of Sir James Graham . And now mark the passage well , and read it over and over again , and then ask yourselves who has dinned the very same into your ears for seven long years , and assigned it as a reason for opposing free-trade . He says , " Among the CHIEF CAUSES OP THE PRESENT EVIL WAS UNSOUND
CB--DTT , AM ) TO CBEATE FBESH MACHINERY WITH B 0 BBOW 2 D CAPITAL . THIS HAD SET MANY MILLS IN MOTION , WHICH HAD AFTESWA . BD 3 BEEN STOPPED OB bedcced to wobk shokt time . " Now , then , have I not used the same argument over and over again in proof of the fact , that if the Corn Law 3 were repealed to-morrow , every spare farthing in this country wonld be devoted to the erection of new mills and the improvement of machinery , to meet the anticipated extension of trade , and a revolution must follow ? In fact , no limitation can be set by the most speculative mind to the extent to which
free-trade would increase gambling in machinery , and every motive in which direction must tend to the further depression of manual labour . Again , see what the Hon . Mr . Stuart Wortley says . He says " the cause of distress in Sheffield , is mainly owing to the falling off in the American trade , npon which that trade chiefly depends . " Merciful Providence . ' when will the time arrive when Englishmen will be taught , iu the true sense of the word , how to live npon their own resources ! Their iron and Bteel independent of America ; their wool independent of Prussia ; their flax independent of France ; their
land independent of all ; and themselves independent of the world for food and fuel and raiment . Mr . C . Wood asks for abundance and cheap ; as when food is cheapest the people are best fed ! What nonsense . When was food cheaper than now , and when where yoa worse fed ? As to abundance of food making it easy of attainment , there is now more money taan the holders know what to do with ; and you cannot get it . There are more houses than the owners know how to dispose of ; and yon cannot get them . There is more wearing apparel than they can store ; and you can ' t get any . Tnere is more food than all could eat , and you are without it . But they
say the surplus is inconvenient and unprofitable for want of a foreign market ; well , but you were not even paid for creating the surplus , and if , to-morrow , Enghuid had an order to supply the world with goods , in twelve months the surplus would be thirty times as great and the distress would be proportionately increased . Cheap and dear are relative terms , and the big loaf for sixpence is dearer to a man who has not got a penny to buy it , than the small loaf at a shilling is to him who can earn the shilling . First catch your money , and then buy your loaf . Bat so long as machinery can earn the loaf , be it large or be it small , yon cannot get it .
Now I have a word to Bay to the " Calf ' s Head Observer" of last Saturday . Under the head u Gleanings of the week" that journal professes to give a snmmary of interesting events . In two cases my name is mentioned , as follows : — " Mi . O'Connor , a fortnight ago , lectured in Leeds on Chartism , the Com law , and the Land , ' and concluded -with two resolutions , viz , that Corn-Law repeal -would be a positive injury to the abopkeepera and it trtiticg elates , anti tfcat tLe mfctiiuij -would

pledge themselves to support the Evening Star . Two or three Chartista spoke in favour of Corn-law repeal , and contended that the Chartists ought not to become a pro-Corn-law party ; but Feargns and his dupes were too many for them . " " Two Bradford operatives having taken up the glove thrown down by Feargus O'Connor to the League , the reply which they received was , that the Chartist Com-Law champion would discuss the question with the League , and the League only , go much for O'Connor ' s respect for the working classes . '
. Now , Mr . O'Connor did not lecture upon any such subjeots , or propose any suoh resolutions , at Leeds . Mr . O'Connor , so far from declining to meet the working men of Bradford upon the subject of the Corn Laws , did meet them , though not appointed by the League ; did discuss the question with them ; did divide upon the resolution and amendment ; and did . beat them : and further , Mr . O'Connor said that he wonld at all times and in all seasons be most happy to meet the working men in discussion upon the question ; but if his challenge to discuss it in the several towns proposed was accepted , that then his opponent should HAVE THE FANCT 1 ON OF THE LEAGUE . NOW , What must this chuckle-he&ded " calf ' s head" think of
of himself , or rather what will his few readers think of him 1 I have this morning received £ 3 from Rochdale , and £ ] 12 s . from Thompson and Co ., tea dealers , Halifax , for the Defence Fund . I trust that on Saturday night those gentlemen will sell that much more tea than usual . In conclusion , I rejoice at the debate on Lord Howick ' s motion , as Parliament can no longer protend ignorance of the condition of the working classes . Next week we shall have a full report upon Mr . Duncombe's motion on the conduct of Lord Abinger , —that will be of more importance to us . ENGLAND IS NOW AT PEACE WITH
ALL THE WORLD , EXCEPT HER OWN PEOPLE . THE FOREIGN MARKETS OF STRIFE ARE CLOSED , AND SHE KEEPS HER HAND IN AT HOME . I am , Your Faithful friend , Feahqus O'Connor . Thursday evening .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thubsday Feb . 16 . The House met this day at four , having adjourned from Tuesday . After some " talk , " of no importence , they again adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Thursday , Fe » . 16 . The House met at the usual hour , and some petitions were presented . Dr . Bowbing Baid he wished to put a question to the Hon . Member for Knaresborough . He had received a communication from the county of Glamorgan , in which it was stated that the Hon . Member for Knaresborough wrote to certain individuals there to get up petitions against the truck system , and urging that these petitions should state , that a certain Member of the House of Commons shared in the exorbitant profits of a shop which the Hon . Gentleman thought was conducted on the truck system . The question he wished to ask was , whether the Hon . Gentleman made such a communication to the neighbourhood , and whether the communication contained any such suggestions as he alluded to . He put the question , because he had some reason to suppose that he was the Member alluded to .
Mr . Febrand begged leave to state , in reply to the question which had been put to him , that he had a few days ago , received a letter from the neighbourhood of the iron works , which stated , that the truck system was conducted there in the same cruel manner that it was this time last year , and of which they complained to the House . The writer Btated , also , that they received no redress , and asked him ( Mr . Ferrand ) whether there would be any benefit in petitioning the House . The writer stated , in addition , that Dr . Bowring was a person who participated in the profits of the truck system . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) in reply , told the writer of the letter that it would be
advisable to petition the House on the subject , and that , if any Member of the House of Commons in particular wts guilty of illegal praotioes , he had a right to complain of it . Dr . Bowbi > g said , that as the subject was one involvii a character , he might state that the Hon . Gentleman was wholly misinformed as to the character of the works in question . The payments were made by cheques on the bank , and the shop in question was one which conferred considerable benefit on the neighbourhood . He ( Dr . Bowring ) gave directions himself that the law should not be violated in the spirit or the letter .
Mr . T . Duncombk gave notice that on an early day in March he would call the attention of the House to the mode of administering justice to those who were concerned in the recent outbreaks in the manufacturing districts . Some questions were asked of , and answered by , different members of the Government , and some motions were disposed of , after which The adjonrned debate on the distress of the country was resumed by Mr . Peteb Bobthwick , who was left speaking .

DEATH OF RICHARD CARLiLE . CaRLIlk has passed from eff tho stage of existence . His life has been a busy and a momentous one : and it is right that a tribute of respect should be dropped upon his grave ; for he has been useful to the world as an herald of pbogbess . Cablil ' e was a stern and unflinching opponent of oppression . He was one of the most determined resisters of authority that England ' R latter days have seen . To him wo mainly owe the comparative libery of the press that we enjoy . He broke down thu trammels imposed on it by government in 1817- He proved himself to be , at that period .
a bold and stout-hearted man . THE THING was then in its full power . Its nails had not then been paired . " Late panio , " and " severe commercial depression" had not lowered its toue . It dealt with the " grumblers" with a hi ^ h hand . It placed new restrictions upon the press . It downed many of the people's advocates . Cob-BtTT left England for America . It seemed as if all quailed before the storm . Cablile placed himself in the breach . He braved the utmost fury of the oppression . He showed that he was possessed of powers of endurance that tyranny could not break down . He triumphed 1 He established the freedom of tho Press !
This was not done without suffering . He had hix share . He was confined fob bix yeabs in Dorchester Gaol . As one instance of his unbeuding ; disposition and enduring powers when he conceived himself to be in the right , we may mention that he was for three pears and never went out of his room ! The Visiting Justices refused to allow him free access to tho open air ; arranging that he should be led out of his den for two hours a day when his keepers deemed it convenient , thty attending him as watchers all the time . Cabljle refused to bend to this shameful indignity . He demanded free access , like all the rest of his fellow-prisoners . He declared that ' till his demand was conceded he would not pass the threshold of his cell . He kept his word ! He was for three years within the four walls of his room , and never passed out . Then his demand was conceded !
During the time he was in Dorchester Gaol his wife and sister were also confined within its walls , and Newgate was nearly filled with martyrs to the cause of "fbee discussion , " who , fired by Cab- * LJLt ' s zeal and bravery , had rushed forward , one after another , to ktep his shop in his absence . We honour the name of ^ Cablile for the good he has done . We , of course , do not think that he was free from imperfections . We believe him to have wrought much mischief , and to have been a serious
pest to society iu the industrious propagation of his pseudo theological and philosophical dogmas . Persevering courage aud untiring industry were the characteristics of his nature . These he , of course , evinced with equal constancy for the evil which he thought good , as for the most laudable of his public aims . But we are not of those who would perpetuate only the dark side of a man ' s character ; and hence in speaking of Carlile we prefer to speak of his virtues . Of his good we speak : drawn be the curtain over his failings !
A correspondent has favoured us witb a notice of the leading events of his life . It is drawn up from memory , he says , but he vouches for its correctness . It is written by Mr . Henry Sculthorp , of Westminster . We give it with pleasure ; because just now it is interesting , as serving to show the nature of the battles Cablile bad to fight with the oppressors of the people : — "Richard Carlile , the well-known democratioal and deistical bookseller and publisher , formerly of Fleet Street , London , and whose name has been , more or less , before the public for about twenty-six years ,
expired on Fridav last , at his new residence in Bouverie Street , Whitefriara , in the 53 rd year of his age . His entering upon political life was in a small shop near Fetter Lane . Previous to this , he had followed tha humble calling of a tin-plat d worker . This is not stated with a view to degrade Mr . Carlile ; for in whatever respeot we may differ with him , there ia one point upon which even many bigots are agreed ; viz ., that he was a man of unflinching integrity , aud possessed of extraordinary powers both of mind and nerve . He was not , however , aabitioui to ckim all the merit of political dariog

to himself . Like Cobbott , he acknowledged Paine as his political - prototype : from him he professed to have ' received the first ray of light iu his benighted intellects ; ' and from the ' Rights of Man ' the promethean touoh that first warmed him into public life . ' He commenced his career as a pub lisher by re-printing Southey's early poem— 'Wat Tyler , ' at a period when its author—conscious that Radicalism was not the road to government promotion—was making strenuous efforts to suppress it : and , maugre the endeavours of the laureate to effect his purpose , 25 , 000 copies of the work found their way into the hands of the people in 18 ! 7 Shortly after issuing forth Paine ' s political works , the same year , he reprinted the well-known '
Parodies' on the Book of Common Prayer , which cost him eighteen weeks in the King ' s Bench Prison , from which he was , however , liberated , without trial , on the acquittal of Mr . Hone , their author . But it was reserved tor the year 1818 to establish his celebrity , by his re-publication of Paine ' s' Age of Reason , '' which ha $ i been suppressed through a period of twenty years . This brought him in collision with the then Attorney-General ( Sheppard ) who waited upon the publisher , in the way he expected , at the close of that year . In the October of 1819 , therefore , after no lesa than six successive indictments had been served upon him , he was at length brought to trial at Guildhall , City , before Lord Chief justice Abbott and a Speoial Jury , upon a charge
of blasphemy , ' in having re-published the 'Age of Reason' of Thomas Paine , and the ' Principles of Nature' of Eiisha Palmer , both of which works he read in court , in his defence , besides having reference io a quantity of others ; which occasioned the trial to last nearly a week , during which the defendant was accompanied by several friend 9 , amoug whom were Messrs . Hunf , Sherwin , and Fry , the husiraad of the fair philanthropist . Air . Carlile hereupon rec < ived sentence to three years' imprisonment in Dorchester gaol , and to pay a fine of £ 1 500 ; in default of tho payment of which , he was retained in the above gaol Hntil the November of ] Q 25 , when he was at length liberated , after having competed the s , ixt . h yearot his captivity . In 1830-1 he was again-brought to trial at the Old Bailey , for an alleged political libel , published in a weekly periooical called the
* Prompter , ' whereupon he received sentence to be imprisoned tor the term of 2 y > ars in the City Coinpter ; but he eveMniliy served hard upon 3 yeara in that gaol . In 18345 lie passed 3 months more within the walls of tho same building , for having made a most obstinate resistance to the demand made upon him for Church-rates by tho parish of St . Dunstan in the West ; thus completing a , term of nine years and a half imprisonment ! For the last fivo or six years , he had resided at Eufield in Middlesex , where , it would seem , he took no part in public affairs ; but where , in 1841 , he was overtaken by the paralytic stroke , from which he never afterwards recovered . This abated bis powers of public speaking and reading to his last hours . The direct illness which accompanied his death , was , however , of bat a day ' s duration .
" He stated , a few days ago , that , at the outset of his public career , ho ii » d correctly calculated on having to pass through five or six years of imprisonment , to appease the angered authorities for having defied theiv will ; but he haxi not , he said , ealcalaU d that , after having conquered such authorities , by self-sacrifice , the greater difficulty would remain , of having to conquer the ignorance and vice of the people , by still more painful sacrifices . This , he urged , had been his dilemma , which had destroyed his health , and driven him from publio business to comparative obscurity and painful poverty . It is evident that Mr . Carlile did not think his dissolution
was so near , by his having announced to several gentlemen who spoke to him as he lay in bed , only last Sunday evening , his intention to deliver a lecture on the succeeding Suuday evening ; namely , the 12 th instant . "

TO THE EDITOR OF TUB KORTHERN STlR . Sib , —It gives me great pleasure to be able to inform you that your candid observations on th « Socialists , a few weeks ago , as also your admirawl article "On the March of Machinery , " in TJ week's Star , have been hailed with great satisfaction by many who had hitherto expressed much doubt or fear of the purposes for which the peoDle are seeking political power , or of the use to which the ? would put it when obtained . Extensive and influ ential misconceptions have existed on this head ! which , for the sake of our cause , and to promote the success of our rights , we should hasten to remove
It is imagined by some that the Chartists seek power merely for party or personal purposes and that , consequently , the Charter will be made an instrument , like the Reform Bill , of c lass-Wjslatfon and factious Government . Now an attentive consi deration of the principles of the Charter will shew that the people at large will always have the power and the remedy in their own possession either to cure or to correct these evils ; but , nevertheless it is fitting that we should likewise shew that that the people already know what use to make of
their rights and would exercise power properly it would perhaps be well were we distinctly to state the objects we have in view , and thus encourage tha hopeB of the oppressed , and allay the fears of the lovers of quiet . Perhaps nothing would better supply this desideratum than a Monthly Magazine price 6 d ., which mi # ht act as -an auxiliary or corallary to your weekly organ , the Northern Star ; for while the latter was more particularly engaged in directing and auimating the movement for the jneanj the former might instruct the non-Chartist public as to the ends .
The fir 3 t great object as I take it , is to get hold of the lakd ; and we have this object in common wiih the Socialists and Fourierists , theCommunalists , or the Associative Unionists , only they are pursuing the ends before they have got the means , which makes the great difference between as . Perhaps , too , there are some minor details on which we are not agreed ; but I believe we agree on those great general principles of truth and equity , which are applicable to all men in all times ; and as they are seeking with us the freedom and amelioration of mankind — especially of the sons of labour—We cannoi withhold from them the praise due to all well-meaning and benevolent mind 9 . Let as coma to a good understanding with them , and I doabt uot we shall obtain their cordial support , as I believe we at present have their sympathy and good wishes .
I remain , dear Sir , Yours respectfully , Johk WaTkixs . Battersea .

INDEPENDENT ORDER OF UNITED BrOTHEBS , Leicester Unity . —On Tuesday last , a Lodge in connection with this Order was opsned at Jenuings ' Temperance Coffee House , Birmingham , on ' whick occasion forty-five persons were initiated . A Clergyman Shot by his Step-son , —Gloucester . Monday . —This moruing a young man , about 18 years of age , of genteel appearance , was brought to the county jail in this city , charged with having intentionally shot the Rev . Hugh Percy Rennett , perpetual curate of Norton , a parish situated four miles from this city , on the road to Tewkesbury . Tb . 3 circumstances under which the outrage was committed are reported to be as follows : —Mr Rennett , who isolated to the Northumberland family , married a Mrs . Clarke , the mother to the young man committed this day to
our county jail . The marriage was a very onhappy one , scarcely a day pas .-ing without some brawl or other occurring . As was natural , the young man took part with his mother , aad it is alleged that the combined power of the mother aud son was too powerful for the single-handed vicar . On Friday night , there was a quarrel , and on Saturday night another , iu the course of which the vicar threatened to strike his wife . This , it is said , roused the passions of the son to an ungovernable -Sig ht , and , seizing a loaded pistol , he fired at his step-father . The ball encered the neck , and the serious nature of the wound becoming instantly apparent , surg ical aid was sent for , aud the most persevering efforts made to oxtract the ball , but without effect . The reverend gentleman remains in a very precarious state .

JLEEDS . — " The Schoolmaster" at Home . — Teaching THk Bluebottle Police . —We learn that it is intended by those who have taken in hand the tuition of i the " * raw lobsters " - constituting the " Leeds Force ! , " to employ the powers of the press to enlighten the minds of their pupils , in aid of the oral lessons they are regularly drilled with , to teach them the art and mystery of right-about-face" and " front-rank kneel . " For the especial edification of this important and respectable class of men , a new publication is about to be issued , to b | e called the Park-Row Gazette , in which will weekly appear the episdea
of James , With comments so plain and clear that even the ! simple and unsophisticated mind of a Child can } understand them . Amongst other things to be tautjht , will be the " of noting developed , " from the time of the celebrated Nelson , of Hars-Hills notoriety , down to the last transaction of the one-eyed vroRSTtD-planter from Hunslet . It will also regularly contain the secre * orders of the committee of ! watchers , done into plain English for the use of the ** amalgamated" Peelers , ( and occasional retiorta of the sayings and doings , of Dr . Trap ' em amongst the frail ones . The whole will be under the superintendence of a celebrated Baker , who knows all about the getting-up of round robius .
HUDDERSFIELD . —General distress in this town aud neighbourhood is more evident just , now than was ever seen at auy previous period . Bankruptcy is taking place weekly amongst th&more influential , whilst the poor cottager is being , stripped of his furniture , eveu to the shirt he wears . On Monday and Tuesday last several auctioneers were employed in selling what had been fetched from the labourers by the bailiffs ; whilst numbers of fine young men were watching them , having nothing else to do . How long ihia state of things will contnae , it is impossible to tell .
On Friday evening last , as Mr . Robert Aram , green grocer , ( of Huddersfiold , was returning homo from Waken " eld market , he took a ticket tor the third class by the railway , but got into a second class carriage ; . On the road , the guard found him out , and demanded the difference of the fare ( one shilling ) which he refused to pay , stating he had been put in by one of the porters at Wakefield . On arriving at Cooper Bridge , he was given into the charge of the ; clerk there , who told him he had subjected himself to the penalty of 40 s ., but if he would pay the shilling , the difference of the fare , he would
set him at liberty . This he refused to do . On the arrival of thetnext up train , he was sent in custody to Manchester , and taken before Mr . Hall , the superintendent , who , after hearing the statement , offered to set him at liberty and give nim his passage back to Cooper Bridge , if he would pay the shilling . He still remained obstinate . He was then ordered to be taken back by a luggage train to Brighouse , and there locked up until the next morning , and then taken before the Huddersfield magistrates , who convicted him in the mitigated penalty of 10 d . and 16-s . 6 d . costs .
Fatal Accident . —The quiet little village of Rogate , near Peter&field , was on Monday last thrown into a state of the utmost consternation by the occurrence of the following distressi n g accident : Colonel Charges Wyndham , M . P ., having left for town a few days previous , to attend his parliamentary duties , ( had given his keepers permission to invite a party of their friends to a day ' s rabbit shooting . Accordingly , on the above-named day , a
party of fourteen or fifteen proceeded to Carl ' s Cop .-e for that purpose . In the course of the day , as one of the party ( . a c ommercial traveller , who happened to bejstaying in tho neighbourhood ) was in ihe act of getting over a hedge , bis gun being loaded and cocked , it accidentally went off , and lodged the whole contents in the body of a young man named Collins , a brother of the under-keepor . The poor fellow fell , ajid expired in a fow minutes . —Hampshire Telegraph .
