A bill was jwimaaufaity drawn up , and posted through fits town , which ran as follows : —
— PtJBilC Notice . —As it cannot escape obserntion that tt » maDufactnrers of Aantonun&er-lyne and its fidghbonrhood are labouring under great excitement , in consequence of the operative power-loom weavers and card-loom hands seeking an advance of wages , knowing at the same time that they have sufficient profits to give sn advance , we , the operatives , are as anxious to prevent all the inconvenience and suffering of another tnra-ont as our employers , as we are the . greatest sufferers in the eni But still we are determined to lave an advance , believing that it will benefit both masters and operatives . The manufacturers say that the state of trade will not allow an advance of . wages ; bnt ire know it to be a fact , and are able to prove that they are receiving from Is . to Is . 3 d . per cat more than they were eighteen months ago ; and some of them » manufacturing more than 1 , 00 a cuts per day , which -wffl amount to from j £ I 5 , 000 to £ 20 , 000 per year , and they hare toe assurance to issue a placard stating that the state of trade will not allow them to give us
lack the last reduction . « Our T "" r ^ state that the rate of wages in other districts will not justify them in giving an advance . "We again refer them to Glossop and several other districts , who have an advance , and are now paying more 4 ban they are in this district . Our employers state that tiisy are willing to redress onr grievances 3 The following are a few of them : — " 1 st—We want our wages weekly .

PROGRESS OF THE IRISH REBELLION . Since we last wrote , a True Bill has been found Against the Irish Repealers ; and all things tor the present appear to progress in that systematic manner in which Statnte Law can be warped to the performance of those duties to which its wielders desire to direct it . Tbrosfc and counter thrust ; hit and counter hit , has been exchanged ; the respective expounders and rnystifUrs of the law appearing equally resolute . But as the intemperate and overanxious swordsman is no match for a cool and deliberate antagonist , neither does the babbling Mr .
T . B . Smith appear to have any chance with the cool , the Judicious , and discriminating Joju . th . aj Hsro . If the country was not likely to pay dearly for the faree now enacting in the Court of Queen ' s Bench in Ireland , we could Join in that merriment , of which the Learned Attoknet-Genb-¦ pat . appears to be ihe very life and soul . But inasmuch as the liberties of some men , and ihe national resources are at stake , we cannot avoid stamping the conduct of the Irish Attoenet-Genebal , with , that deep and heavy brand of reprobation » Mch it bo well merits . We quite agree with the
Times as to the mock sentimentality which distinguished the English crocodiles when shedding tears over their Chartist prey . We can recollect the embarrassment of plain J . Campbell , when in vain he attempted to read the last letter of theimmortal Shell And hypocritical though such manifestations vrere yet they evinced & solemnity , whether real or assumed , which may he considered & neee&s&ry portion of ihe paraphernalia of a court of justice . Mr . T . B . Skith , however , is of a different opinion , and has therefore decided npon playing a different part .
Should a verdict of " guilty" be the result howeven the country will thenlosk back npon the proceedings as a whole : and seeing the indecent manner in which they were commenced , it will be difficult to reconcile them to ihe result . The captious , the cantankerous , the unprofessional , and nngentlemanlike manner in which this legal Don Quixote has treated the Bench , ihe Bar , ihe iraversers , and the public , has at once stamped him as wholly unfit to wield ihe great and important powers vested in him , not only in the present eventful crisis , but upon any , even the most unimportant , occasion .
So glaring lias been the rancour of this law officer , that even the Bench , three of whom are known to have a strong political bias in favour of " legitimacy , " has been pat to the blush upon more occasions than one , and compelled to rule against the ArrosifET-Gskbrjll , without requiring to hear argument upon the other side . Meantime , while the storm lulls in the teapot , ihe hurricane continues to rage ontade . Towns are being still garrisoned , and provisioned for a long siege . Our warships are still moored in our ports . The Chelsea pensioners are still being drilled . The loyal Protestants are being aecretly armed . Upon the
side of aggression all goes merrily on ; while we hear scarce a breath about that Commission npon whose report ihe foundation of future tranquillity is to be based . There have been so many nostrums proposed for the tranquSization of Ireland , thai even allowing all to be good , it would puzzle the veriest sage to select from the Ioi . The Times , indeed , elaims credit for being the terrier thai roused the boll-dog to action ; and also for having propounded those means of redress likely to be satisfactory to all parties ; and it is our purpose very briefly to analyse the arguments , the assumptions , and the proposals of our contemporary .
In ihe outset of the agitation the Timet demanded as ihe remedy , a mere difference of action from thai which marked Whig policy . That journal recommended the appointment of friends to the Tory Administration , as a means of preserving Tory aseendancy ? to the end that the corrective power might be sufficiently strong to suppress ihe voice of complaint . Snch was the first recommendation of the Ttmet ; while in the estimation of its conductor there was not » single practical grievance existing throaghont ihe land . n Travel north , south , east , or
west , " quoth the Times , " and we defy yon to meet a peasant , traveller , farmer , or tourist , who will be able to assign a single practical grievance as a cause of the present dissatisfaction , " As soon , however , as the strong Government did assume a strong position , then the Times , always dissatisfied with every thing bnt itself , and anxious to hold ihe balance of power in Ireland as well as in Wales , began to speak of a redress of grievances , but more from a desire to hamper ihe Government than to see the object effected .
In this field of coercive c pnciliation the Times has had a full summer ' s range . And upon Thursday last we were favoured with a digest of the long dream , with a compendium of the long history of this long-seeing journal . And what did it amount to ! Why , after having laid down a number of plans for the pacification of Ireland , —ihe most accepted of which was a rival State Church ; and just as ihe reader must have been in extaeiei at the revelations by whieh permanent peace was to be so cheaply purchased , behold the magician wields his wand , strikes the centre , and down tumbles the fairy palace , leaving nothing io be seen amid the ruins , save these sad wordo : " This is our remedy , bat U is impossible to apply it . "
However the Times may now find it convenient io defend its policy with reference to ihe Repeal agitation , to guess after action , and prophecy after event , yet we confidently vesture t » predicate , that never in the annals of newspaper writing hat any journal ever yet presented such a jmmhle of heterogenous absurdity , as the Times has upon Irish affairs . The Times appears perfectly satisfied with the master hand by which ihe military blow was struck in Ireland ; hut like ocreelves is dissatisfied with the manner in which the legal arm has boen wielded . The difference betwean us , however , is this : the
objection of the Timet is not so much io the conduct , as to the appointment of Mr . 7 . B . Skith as a part of Sis Ro » xst Phbi ' s Government ; while the object in praising ihe Iron Duke evinces nothing more than a desire to play off the spleen of the disappointed Lord Ashbubxoh ; and thus , in the persons of the Dake and the Attorney-General , are the battles vrith Pho . and Asbsdbtoji fought . For our part however , we think there wa 3 equal ill-will , precipitancy , and rane » nr eviaced ia the mode of commencing the proclamation warfarethat has
, been since so charac . tATi . ti . mil- *«« ^ ,, been since so characteristieaUy followed np in the Court of Queen ' s Beneh . Tery little doubt ean now exist that public opinion has given a Bhock to Government intention . And to that we nut ascrib * the hasty } abandonment of

further proceedings against the Repealers . We , as well as the Times , ventured upon * few predictions relative to the ; Repeal agitation j and one of which was , that the conduct ^ which !^ the Iri sh Attobnbt General was certain to pursue , would be followed by the destruction of the Irish Government . To that predictiom we still adhere , well knowing thai the administration of Lord Da Gbet is unpalatable to a majority of the English Cabinet ; while the appointment of Mr . T . B . Smith , who was obliged to fly to Ripon . a pocket borough of Lord D £ Grey ' s re *
lative ' s , fora seat , has caused general dissatisfaction throughout Ireland . That Lord ELIOT iri preparing to take his stand with Sir Robret Peel and the conciliative portion of the Cabinet , is manifest from his present inactivity . And perhaps no fairer op * port unity oould have been presented to Sir Robert Pkel , as a justification for flinging ihe rampant Irish Church party overboard j and to that end we anticipate the recommendation of some such policy in the report to be laid before Parliament by the Irish Commissioners .
Meantime the condition of South Wales , ihe manifest tendency to a deoline in the English market , together with the non-intrusion question in Scotland , added to the increasing acts of incendiarism , all give earnest of an unquiet winter . Authority should draw no hasty conclusion from . the present delusive calm . If Irish towns are garrisoned with Eng lish troops , it should be borne in mind that the most ) important towns in England are garrisoned with Irish hearts ; and in the event of the conviction of the Irish Repealers , we understand that it is the intention of the Irish residents in Lancashire and
Yorkshire , to convene a meeting of their own ountry men in some central spot , to decide upon a petition to Parliament , of a memorial to the Queen , for their liberation . Such a step will not only be legal and constitational , but praiseworthy ; and will be rendered more effective by the peaceable and harmonious manner in which the assembled thousands and hundreds of thousands -will be sure to transact their business . Such an example set by those two great counties , if the metropolis does not take the
lead , would be sura to be followed by every district in England j ' Qua verifying our oft repeated prediction , that England after all is the stage whereon Ireland ' s battle must be fought . Let us not be misunderstood . We do not mean a physical encounter between an unarmed people and an armed soldiery ; but we do mean that moral engagement in which the voice of knowledge must silence the cannon ' s roar , and the point of argument blunt the sharpest sword .
Public opinion is now upon the stretch . The mind contemplates with horror the military preparations being now made for the subjugation of Irish liberty . We warn the aggressors against rousing the English lion , or driving the Irish who have sought shelter in this land to thai desperation which would assuredly follow the announcement that the English sword had been drawn against Irish liberty . The last Repeal campaign has put them in poBseBsion of more of their country ' s history than they were previously acquainted with ; and while it has taught them the wrongs they endure , at the same time it has informed them of the means they possess to redress them . The Irish are not like the seople of any other country . They can act as one
man , when Ireland demands their co-operation ; while a traitor or approver is a thing seldom discovered in their ranks . They can live like hermitB : and die like heroes ! and we venture to predict ihat upon the vary first announcement of a verdict of guilty , that that Irishman who is known to smoke a pipe , to taste of exciseable spirits , or of any artiole from which duty was wrung to carry on the war of aggression , will be denounced as a traitor to his country . Every Irishman will soon turn his hovel into a temperance hotel , where neither coffee , tea or sugar will be used , or anything that will fornish the sinews of war ; and we believe that there is not an Irish publican Who would not vie in being the leader to surrender his trade , though ever so lucrative , upon the altar of his country .
What chance , then , can a military force have against snch a people t And if the Irish , in their own land , only abstain from any act of violence , be the provocation ever so great , they may rest assured that their countrymen in England possess sufficient power , backed as they would be by ihe English working classes , io accomplish the freedom of their country . We have given copious reports » 6 f the manner in which justice was sought to be withheld from the Irish travereers , by the Irish Attorhet-General . Those reportB will be read by every man , with disaust , while all will be prepared to receive a verdict of ** guilty , " should suoh be the ihe result , as an offering to one man ' s vengeance , rather than as the vindication of the offended law .

THE CRISIS . We announced last month that it was the practice of monied men in ihe city to publish a monthly circular setting forth their views and opinions relative to the several securities in the investment ot whieh they Were entrusted by other parties . We then selected the circular of Mr . Thomas Allscp for comment , and from it we exhibited the fact thai ihat discriminating and talented agent looked to the cultivation of the land as the only feasible means of
escape from our present difficulties . His reasoning upon the subject was so brief , but yet conclusive , that we submitted the whole of that portion of his circalar to our readers . It was evident that the writer had drawn his conclusions from a general review of the whole system , rather than from any partiality that he entertained for an agricultural life . He has followed up his able ciroular of last month by one for the present which now lies before us ; and from which we beg to submit the following all-important paragraph . He says : —
" The abundance of money so often noticed continues , though without any beneficial results . " The great source of national prosperity , beneficial and constant employment , has not been realiisd ; and though new markets are open in the East , there is reason to fear that the machine-producing power in this country alonb will far outrun any reasonable or probable demand , without much permanent benefit to the great bulk of the population . It is qmite evident ! to men of practical experience—to reflective observers , that great changes are inevitable , and , if not made by
the Government , will be forced into operation by the alterations which have taken place in the material condition of the population , by the rapid diffusion of useful information and intelligence , and by the frightful anomalies which abound in our social system j anomalies which are so numerous and of snch frequent occurrence as to excite neither sensation ncr remark from those exposed te their immediate operation . As the Sun , ere it is risen , sometimes paints its image in the atmosphere , so the Bpirit of great change strides on before the change itself , and in te-dsy is seen the morrow . "
If we required any proof of the soundness of our own reasoning upon the general system , here we have it furnished by one whose business it is to direct capitalists in ihe investment of their funds . This review , at any time important , is doubly so at the present moment , when the cry of a " renewal of trade" rings in oar ears . We have printed the above extraet precisely as we found it ; and let those who so loudly vaunt the mighty influences of "Fi # e Trade , " draw what conclusions they may from their own fanciful imaginations , they cannot get over the one emphasised word , * alone , " which , ia speaking of maohine-producing power , Mr . Allsop says , will " alone" far
outran any reasonable or probable demand without much permanent benefit to the great bulk of the population . It is cheering to find men of Mr . AL&sor ' s rank and talent looking to ihe rapid diffusion of information and intelligence , as a means of destroying those frightful anomalies which abound in our soeial system . We would recommend our rulers to look upon ihe miniature of their condition , as presented by Mr . Allsop , indicative of thai fall image in the atmosphere whieh must , ere long , remind them of the havoc into which their mis-rule is hurrying the nation . Tha principles of democracy it would appear , have not only forced themselves upon the consideration of the landed and shop-keeping clfiKe * , bit they are now beginning to find their

way amongst that body , whose sole consideration ever has been the best and most efficacious mode of protecting their own . peculiar description of property . The balance of opinion has alternated between WhigiandTory principles reach being preferred in turn , according to the inducements for speculation and protection for gambling . that they could offer ; bnt we now find that ; to the employment of a consuming producing power , and to that alone , the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange look for profit and security .
We cannot conclude this brief notice of so important a subject , without tendering our best thanks to Mr . Allsop , for having thus sprung from his " order , " and thrown the weight of his talent and experience into the Labour scale . We are indebted to a correspondent for Mr . Allsop ' s circular ; and should this meet his eye , we rrould esteem it as a favour if , in future , he would transmit us an early copy , in order that we nay follow him in his train of reasoning ; and , if not requesting too much , we
would hail with pleasure a more extensive commentary from his pen , upon all those matters connected with ihe monetary affairs transacted on " 'Change " . He has now got fairly at the root of the great evil ; and no service can be greater than that which will enable the working classes to judge dearly and dispassionately upon the effect that the doings of this apparently dissociated section have upon all those concerns in life wnioh mainly affect the comforts of the working classes .

Thos . Clark , late j of stockport , bnt now member of the Executive Committee , London , writes as follows : — I Sir , —In the Star of Saturday last , under the bead of " Bath , " it is stated that" Mr . Clark , of Stockport " lectured on the previous Monday . It also appears the " Mr . Clark ? ' mentioned attended without an invitation , or giving proper notice . Now , Sir , as I am the only person known by the Chartists as " Mr . Clark , of Stockport , " and not feeling ambitious of appearing in the position of the person above alluded to , you will oblige me by informing your readers that I have been resident in London for the last month . I
The Poets . —The lines headed " The death of the Factory Child , " we must respectfully decline . Tbe " Song , " by the , *• Charlestown Poet / 1 Is not sufficiently poetic . " An Old Radical's" " acrostic , &c will not do . ! George White . —The Birmingham Committed acknowledge the Bum of ten shillings from Bromsgrove , for Mr . White . 1 The Birmingham Shoemakers have sent Mr . White 7 s . I The Glasgow Pottery . — Since writing the notice which , under this ; head , appears in our seventh ! page , we have received a communication from oar Glasgow Correspondent , Touching for the truth of the statements of "An Enemy to Whig and Tory Tyranny . "
Our Correspondent says : — " I find that an attempt is made to contradict the statements ot 'An Enemy to Tyranny' in the case of ' The Glasgow Pottery ' . I have had occasion to meet with the friend who signs himself as above , since Saturday last ; and , after full inquiry , and without wishing to do injustice to any one , I have no hesitation in saying , that the meeting got up in the Pottery was got up at the bidding of the masters , and that many of tbe men who gave acquiescence to the proceedings , did so for the sake of their employment . " A Constant Reader reminds the working classes that while demanding a " fair day's wages for a fair day ' s work" they are acting a moat inconsistent part in supporting the : " cheap clothes , " " cheap shoes /'
and other " cheap" puffers , who grind the very existence out of the unfortunate producers . Tbe tailor seeks " cheap shoes ; " the shoemaker " cheap clothes ;" the collier " cheap hats ; " the hatter " cheap cuttlery , " and so on . As long as thiB lasts , the working classes must expect to be the slaves they are—and worse even than they are noyr . ' A Constant Reader * would have bis brother operatives , particularly Chartists , to remember the golden rule of ' Do unto others as they would others should do unto them . ' Be content to give a fair price for a good article ( such things being- the really cheap in the long ran ) , and support only those who give to the workmen an honest remuneration . for their labour ; " j The Truck System . —We had intended to have laid
before our readers some most strange revealments , in relation to this robbing practice . We find that it has become syslemalised on the North Midland Railway ; the tommy-shop , ia that case , being a van to travel on the line from Leeds to Masbro / with the flour and other provisions for the men employed as plate-layers and road-repairers . The travelling truck-shop ! Trucking by steam ! We get on . Next Week , perhaps , we shall be able to give all particulars . J . W . Parker next week . Miners' Finances—We request that our correspondents , who favour as with reports of Miners meetings , will endeavour to write correctly ; at least let us have the names of persons , places , and
items of finance plainly and properly written . We cannot undertake to publish reports one week , and the next , hare to print a mass of corrections . Some of the communications we reoeive would puzzle a " Philadelphia Lawyer" to make out ; no wonder the compositors make mistakes .

F * iKNDSr-As we find that the spirit of Chartism has been once more revived , it ia our duty to direct our undivided attention to the best mode of keeping it alive . And as | we know of no plan so well calculated to serve that purpose as the dieaeminaiion of oar principles , we have decided upon putting as many of the unemployed staff of Chartism as possible into action . ! On Monday next , two of our body ¦ tart upon a missionary tour ; and we have further determined of availing ourselves of the assistance of the following lectures , Messrs . Leach , Doyle , Bails * stow , West , Jones , Ross of Leeds , Gammage , Dotmon of Nottingham , and Mason , who , together with the two of our own body , will give us pleven able and active expounders of our principles and advocates of oar cause .
TheterniB upon which we purpose engaging these nine gentlemen are as follows : —They will have a salary of thirty shillings a-weck—one pound to be paid by the General Treasurer out ot the General Fund , and the remaining ten shHlinga by the locality requiring their wrvioes . The mohev from each fund to be paid » week in advance , in order that our lecturers should hot , as has been too often the case , remain either wholly unrequited or irregularly paid . Each locality requiring the Bervioei of a lecturer to be at the expencejof his transmission from tow * to town ; and the whole of the funds arising from collections at public meetings to remain as the finds of eaeh locality , j Eaeh leotmrer will be supplied with cards of the Association , and will be expected to be active in the enrolment of members . Lecturers may be exchanged from time to time at the desire of the localities , and with their own
approval j and in all oases of exchange a fortnight ' s notice must be given to the General Secretary , in order that proper arrangements may be made with the several localities . As soon as we hear from the people of Cornwall , Mr . Doyle will be ready to proceed to that locality ; while in the meantime we invite a correspondence with all other districts , relative to the proposed plan . As we can only expect insertion for this notice in the second edition of the Northern S / ar , we cannot expeet any response from Scotland until after next week ' s publication , when , if agreeable to our Scotch friends , they shall have their due share of lecturers . We have the pleasure to inform you that London is once more bestirring itself , and that iiuoa eur entrance upon office we have enrolled nearly ] 3 , 000 members . Three of our body , Messrs . Ross , O'Connor , and Wheeler , remain in London as a quorum , while the remainiD * two will be appointed to active service .

STATE PROSECUTIONS . —Dublin , Nov . 14 . Judge Burton sat at half-past ten o ' clock , to hear motions of course . After the disposal of some cases , including thai of the Queen o . Samuel Gray , which was postponed till next day , the State Prosecutions came on . Mr . Whiteside—Tne parties in the case of the Queen v . O'Conoell and others were to appear in person to-day , and the parties are in attendance
now . Sir Colman O'Loghlin—They are in attendance , my Lords , for the purpose of pleading , this being the last day . Mri O'Connell , accompanied by Mr . Daniel O'Connell , jun ., entered the Court , and was ^ followed by the other traversers , namely , Mr . John O'Connell , M . P ., Mr . gteele , Dr . Gray , Rev . Messrs . Tyrrell and TierneyfMr . Barrett , Mr . Duffy , and Mr . Ray . V Mr . Forde—Mr . O'Connell hands in his plea , my Lords . Chief Justice— -Mr . Daniel O'Connell .
Mr . Fordo—Yes , Mr . Daniel O'Connell , my Lord . Attorney-General—I would wish the Clerk of the Crown would state that plea . Mr . John O'Connell handed ia his plea . Tbe other defendants handed in their pleas . Clerk of tbe Crown—Do you wish to hear those ) pleas now read , Mr . Attorney-General 1 Attorney-General—I do . Chief Justice—Are there any more pleas I Clerk of the Crown—There are none , my Lord , The officer then read the following plea : —
IN THE QUEEN ' S BENCH CROWJf SIDE . The Queen against Daniel O'Connell John O'Connell Thos Steele T M Ray John Gray Charles G Duffy Rev P J Tyrrell Rev T Tierny Richard Barrett And now the said Daniel O'Connell in his own proper person comes into the Coort here of our Lady the Queen before the Queen herself and having heard the said alleged indictment read and protesting that he is not guilty of the premises charged in the said alleged indictment or any part thereof for plea in abatement thereto nevertheless saith that he ought not to be compelled to answer the said alleged indictment and that the same ought to be quashed because he saith the said indictment heretofore toiwit on the 2 d day of November in the year of our Lord 18 ^ 3 to wit at the said court of our said Lady the Queen before the
Queen herself to wit in the parish of St . Mark in the county of the city of Dublin aforesaid was found a true bill by the jurors upon the evidence of divers to wit four witnesses then and there produced before them and then and there examined by the jurors aforesaid and that the said witnesses then and there produced before and examined by the jurors aforesaid were nor was any of them previous to their and his being so exaamined by the jurors aforesaid sworn in , the said court of our said lady the Queen before the Queen herself according to the provisions of a certain statute passed iu a certain session of parliament holden in the 56 th year of the reign of his lite Majesty King George III . intituled an act to regulate proceedings of grand juries in Ireland upon bills of indictment to wit in the parish of St . Mark in the
county of the city of Dublin aforesaid and he is ready to verify wherefore he prays judgment of the said indictment and that the same may be quashed and bo forth . Daniel O'Consell . Mr . Forde—AH the rest are the same . Attorney-General—Now , my Lords , I object to any of those pleas being received by the court ; and the court will of course allow me time until to-morrow morning , that I may be prepared to state at length the grounds on which I object to them . I don't conceive that at this stage of the proceedings the . patty can plead in abatement , for if they plead in abatement at all , they shall plead that plea on arraignment , and on being pat in charge . Bat until I have on opportunity of looking into the pleas , I hope the court will not receive them , and that I shall have an opportunity of addressing the court ia the morning .
Mr . Forde—The time for pleading expires tonight . Clerk of the Crown—They can be received as of to-day . Chief Justice—There is a similar plea tendered on the part of each traverser . Mr . Forde— Yes , my Lord , verbatim . The time for pleading expires to-night , and we got no notice . Mr . M'Donough—Mr . Forde * , wait awhile and leave it to counsel , if you please . Chief Justice ( to Attorney-General)—You wish the consideration of those pleas to be postponed until
morning . Attorney-General—Yes , my Lord . Chief Jtfstice- ^ Of course , Mn Attorney-General , that must be without prejudice to the rule on the traversers to appear and plead to-day . They have appeared and put in a plea ; and whether that be a valid or invalid plea , it is to be taken as if that plea were put in how . Attorney-General—Of course , my Lord , they tender that plea ; now , if the coart be ultimately of opinion that it is a proper plea to be put on the
file—Mr . Hatehell—The way I conceive the ease stands at present is this—The party came in within th » limited time for pleading , and gave in his plea . That plea was read , and the other pleas are exactly in the same words for all the parties . I conceit * that plea is now put in , and on record . The traveasers seek no extension of time ; they have complied witn the rules of law , and the terms of their recognizance . If the Attorney-General conceive those pleas , or any of them , ought not to be received , they are open to objection , and his course will be to move to set aside those pleas on 8 uoh grounds as he may be advised .
Attorney General—Tnis is a matter that must b * left to the discretion of the court . If those pleas ar « not pleas that they would be justified in putting in at this stage of the proceedings ; and if the course Mr . Hatehell suggests were pursued , the consequence would be this—I would have to serve notice to-morrow ; that notice could not be regularly moved until after to-morrow , and that will delay the investigation of that which ought to be investigated without delay—namely , the right of the traversers to put io those please at this Btateof the proceedings . Mr . Hatehell—The court has already decided thai a question arising in these trials should not be debated without due notice . Such was the course adopted with respect to us . I concsive the Attorney-General will not be too late to serve notiee for aftex to-morrow . He will have full time to consider the bearing of the case , and to move to set aside tho pleas , or to demur to them .
Judge Crampton—And if it were convenient for the Attorney-General to state his grounds of objection now he might make his motion , and the court wonld let it stand until the following morning . The Chief Justice thought the matter was in th « discretion of the court , and that counsel on either side ought not to interfere with that discretion . The court had bo right to go into the case then if it would be inconvenient , and if no ends of publit justice could be attained by it . It was , he cos * ceived , in the discretion of the court to postpone it until the following morning , the parties having tendered their pleas .
Mr . Whiteside—That , of eouree , is between th * Crown Counsel and the court . We are not bound to appear on that notice . Mr . Fitagibbon—Suppose the Coart shall determine to-morrow that those pleas are not in time as pleas in abatement , the time to plead to the merits lapses . But if the Court now determine it , the traversers are now in time to plead in bar . But if the Coart postpone that consideration until tomorrow morning , it is only right that to-morrow be considered as to-day ; and if the Court will determine to-snorrew that those pleas are not ia time , all we want is , that the plea in bar shall be received to-morrow .
Attorney-General—When that matter is disoossed to-morrow , that and the other circumstances of th « case will be under the control of the Coart ; bai I trnsfc that nothing will be anticipated or decided to-day . Chief Justice— Tne traversers are mot to be prejudiced by the matter not beiag farther discussed to-day . Mr . Whiteside—There is no decision ealling upo » as to appear on the part of the traversers , so yon may argue it jourselves . Mr . Henn—I submit that by the course the Attorney-General asks the court to take , we are
deprived of a benefit which we are entitled to—not a benefit I would say , but a matter of right—and t « e reasons assigned by the Attorney-General disclose ? that fact ; lor if the jpleas were received now , ana there is no reason why they should not be received , the Attorney-General conceives it would be necessary to serve notice , and that that would cause delay . But if so ; it was a delay the party were entitled to ; that notice should appriM us of bis reasons for objecting to the pleaa . He complained of oui making a motion without giving him two days notice ; and is it not reasonable that i he should B 9 required to gire notice to us !

THE QUESTIONS SETTLED AT LAST . WILL A BEPEAL OP THE CORN" LAWS BENEFIT THE WORKING CLASSES I AND IS O'CONNOR IN THE PAY OF THE
TORIES ! At length and at last these questions are set at rest . They are completely settled ; placed beyond the power of doubt or disputation . They have agitated men ' s minds for a long period ' They have caused much disoussion ; more dogmatism ; and no small amount of ill-feeling and bad blood . All this however is now at an end . The finisher is given to it all .
The cry that " O'Connor is in the pay of the Tories" has been most industriously circulated . It was in the mouth of every Corn-Law Repealer , the moment that O'Connor ' s name and doings were mentioned . It mattered not that the accusation received an emphatio denial , it mattered not that proof was challenged and demanded . It mattered not that noone eror attempted to give even a shadow of proof . It mattered not all this : the accusation was still generally bandied about .
Now this did not suit some of the Barnsley Repealers . They were anxious to know whether there were any foundation for the aocusation or not . They knew ; that they had no proof of it themselves ; and they , therefore sought for it , from one u > Ao would necessarily knoW , if the thing were even so . In the neighbourhood of Barnsley there lives one who can " read the Btara" ; one who has the power
to open the book of fate t and tell both what has happened , and what is to happen . His power to do this , ia well known . His judgment , with his means of information , is known to be infallible . He was never known to be wrong ; and he has been consulted in oases of emergency and weighty importance by thousands of individuals . Indeed he is known in the entire neighbourhood as
West , thb Wisb-man . To this mm the Corn Law Repealers resolved to appeal . He could out the Gordian knot . He could tell , if any man on earth could ; he , who knew all things , past , present , and to come . Accordingly a Mr . Lkadsford , with two brothers of the name of Hunt , and a few more , from Worsbro ' Common , repaired to the seer . Arrived there , and being duly ushered into the presence of the Wise-man , they detailed their errand . Their minds were disturbed . They vrere anxious to know the truth ; they knew he alone could tell them .
Was Feargus 0 Connor in the pat o » thb Tories ! The Wise-man retired . He entered his study . He put on his considering-cap . He consulted the stars . He asked the question of fate ; and , having got his answer , he returned to the querists . All was breathless anxiety . The Oracle opened his lips . He pronounced . The words were ;—" NO . O'Connor is not in the pay of the Tories . "
Here was a stunner ! As it was however , from the book of fate itself , the Repealers received the information With all-becoming acquiescence . They next . essayed another trial of the Wise-man ' s wisdom . They put it to him : " Would a Repeal of the Cora Laws benefit the working classes f " Again he retired . Again he consulted the siarry heavens . Again he received his answer ; and again he imparted it to his inquirer * . Tke answer was *—
W A \* under Existing Circumstances . '' This was a finisher . The poor League men were done for . It was death to all their hopes ; all their aspirations . The dictum they dare not dispute . It was truth from the lips of the wisb . Their own poor notions were surrendered at once ; and they departed wiser and better men . Before leaving , one of tho party had another
striking proof of the means of all knowledge , on the part of the Wise-man . Recollecting that his garden had been lately robbed , he told the cireaoutanw , and wished to kaorr who bad committed tho depredation . The Wise-man went to consult . On his return , he named th « thief ; and th « querists retired to their homes , perfectly satisfied that the Oracle had spoken truth .
Thus , then , these knotty points are set at rest ! Who , after this , will dare to assert tbe troth of the pay-of-the-Tories aocusation ! or augur good frota a repeal of the Corn Laws !
