HOW DOES " THE CAUSE" GET ON IN DUB-¦¦¦ LIN AMONG THE LEADERS ? The World of Saturday last "lets light" on the workings of the Burgh Quay Agitation topBM& j The article is both curious and amusing , it is witnai instructive : shewing that the feeders on Irish credulity are about to quarrel over J ^ era * m *™ their fanzr , " kill the goose" with the golden egg . But her e is the ! World , let it tell it ? own fcde .-a report has crept into circulation which may bow oriklse , forau | ht we know , tothe effect thatajartun par ty ii the CoVn Exchange attempted to thwart 3 ir t ) 'Cox . vELi . in his wish to obtain a ^ "fC ^ Association condemnatory of the ; CharitabkBgmjfa BilL Be thia as it may , it is « J » S ^ m 2 ti 2 S tiie newspaper
^ er Of tWnl ^^ t 3 ^^ has a so mSfoeda riser ™ respecting tins measure , little in keepin" with its dashing and independent pretensions Tn c silence of an ordinary newspaper , touching a m easure of such public importance , would be sufficiently remarkable ; but when we recollect that the Nation professes to be the organ of the " Young Ireland , " or the go-a-head party—that its conductor has pluined Mniself upon revolutionizing public opinion ; and that many of tiie writers—forthey arclegion —who hare had the modesty to declare themselves , are known to be the shining lights of the Cora Exchange ; then , indeed , it does seem niore than curious that we have not had a prose-essay , or a melodious elegy , denouncing in scathing terms the hateful fenawn of Saxon treachery . We have noted
that Mr . O'Neil Dannt saved his distance by delivering a speech against the Bequests Bill , and , if ^ our memory play us not fake , -Mr . Mike Doheny " aid the state some service" by pouring forth another philippic in some part of Tipperary upon a similar topic . But what are -words to the burning lava which streams from the pens of these incomparable writers ? Neither Air . Daunt nor Mr . Doheny would venture to assert ~ without blushing to the eyes—that any speeches they have ever made have achieved the miracles which their writings in the Nation have accomplished for the country . Very eloquent they are , no doubt ; voluble speakers , it cannot be denied ; but tiiej will noi tell us 4 hat their tongues in the arena have been at all equal to their pens in the closet ; and , therefore , we cannot understand why they have
been contented to skip over a subject whichwc would think they might have dwelt upon with benefit to the public . We cannot comprehend why those who boast that they belong to a new generation , which , if it does not possess the experience of age , has less craftiness and caution , should p lav a part so different from their professed character . ^ Ye only Bou ght that some stalwart juvenile should have met Doctor Murray in wordy warfare , or we would have been satisfied with a single lyric to the spirit-stirring air of " Step Together , " were it merely to encourage the opponents of the bDl—yet have our hopes been disappointed . We almost pitied poor old Lord ltoden , the other night , -when he imploringly besought , in his journal , Ms young Mends at the Nation to get up a row with
Mr . O'Gonnell . Falstaff , we believe it is , who has said that " discretion is the bitter part of valour ;" and we cannot blame that slender corps who delight to call themselves the "Young Ireland" party , if , acting under the management of a shrewd guide , Mr . Peter Pureell , they decline plucking the Lion by the beard , and endeavour to overcome Mm by stratagem . If the writers to whom we allude hare adopted a measured tone in the Nation , we can trace "the line Roman hand" of one of them in the pages of Tatis Magazine ; and unquestionably tie scribe administers as severe a flagellation to the leader of the national movement , as if he had never eaten salt in Richmond Penitentiary , or received his hebdomadal wages at Burgh Quay . Let us now quote a passage from tho puffin ? pages of the Scotch periodical : —
O : i xlie whole , the Repeal cause looks many degrees less respectable , as seen lroin our British point of view , than it did Hurfcis the months of 3 Ir . O'Consicll's trial and imprisonment . The immense moral advantage which he had gained , first hy his martyrdom , and then toy his splendid legal and constitutional victory , has , so far as regards public opinion on tais side of the water , been completely flittered away . And the present state of the agitation its < 3 f since its commencement—without a single definite point of policy to interest or alarm us —all the old plans of Monster Meetings and Preservative Societies gently relinquished , the "impeachment" business postponed , aud nothing new substituted in their place—is not calculated to impress English minds with any high sense cither of the importance of the thing in itself or of the generalship of its head manager .
Now , we Delieve that any inference which we British people might he disposed to draw from all this , to the effect that the Itepeal cause is really decadent—is essentially one whit f eehler , or less dangerous than it was in ¦ flie days of the Monster Meetings or the captivity—would be an erroneous inference . What the British people may think , may even rightly think , of Mr . O'Connell ' s discretion , or consistency , or dignity of conduct , is an afihir of very secondary concern , either to us or to him . It is more germane to the matter to ask , what do the Irish people think of those things ?—a question which every wan tvho reads the newspapers may answer for Ifimself . The recent aspects of Irish agitation have , moreover , given striking confirmation of a portentous fact , which we have more than once urged on the notice of our readers—Mr . O'Coimell is not the Repeal movement . The
agitator has censed to De master of the agitation . The magician is impotent to exercise—has only a qualified and conditional power to command—the spirit that his spells liave evoked . He cannot now do quite what he will with his own . There is a power , in the Loyal National Repeal Association , behind the chair , and greater than the chair . Why did Mr . O'Connell take the first opportunity he could find to snap his fingers at Federalism so soon after having deliberately and elaborately avowed a preference for it ? Not merely because Federalists stood aloof , and did uot seem to feel flattered bv his preference ; but chiefly hecause MU . DUFFY WROTE A C ERTAIN letter in the Xation—x letter , we hat sat is passing , which HOBE THAJf COXFIBHS THE VEST BESPECTf CL SESSE WE
BATE LOXG IXTOlTAKJED OF THIS GEXXLEHAX ' S AJfD HIS coadjutors' talest , sincerity , and mental independence —refusing , in pretty flat terms , to he inarched to or through the Coventry of Federalism . Mr . O'Connell has since , not in the best taste of feeling , sneered at "the young gentlemen who thought themselves fitter leaders than he was ; " but the young gentlemen carried the day , nevertheless , against the old gentleman . "We see in this , that thera is a limit to the supremacy of this extraordinary man over the movement which his own genius originated ; what he has done he is quite unable to undo ; Repeal has a life of its own , independent of Ms influence or controul ; his leadership is gladly accepted aud submitted to , but always under condition that he leads the right war . Mr . O'Connell ' s recent overdoing of the part
of A SIMPLE REPEALER IS A TRIBUTE TO THE POLITICAL POWER- AND INDEPENDENCE OF YOUNG IRELAND AND THE KATIOX We conclude , then , despite all transient and superficial appearances to the contrary , that Repeal is , essentially and at the bottom , just as powerful and dangerous as it has ever been ; as able and as likely to trouble us in peace , and cripple us in war ; aud any inference which we may draw from the signs of indecision and littleness of character lately exhibited by Mr . O'Connell , cannot be eafel y extended beyond Mr . O'Gonnell individually . One important novelty , in this agitation , of an encouraging land there unquestionably is at this moment : would that
• we could credit our rulers with wisdom to turn it to good account ! Repeal , just at present , i 3 stationary . It is without any definite , tangible line of policy , so far , at least , as is yet known . A new campaign of agitation has commenced ; but the plan of the campaign does not seem settled . The monster meetings are not resumed ; lie Preservative Society of Three Hundred is deferred due die , on account of unexpected legal difficulties ; and no new move is , as yet , announced iu its stead . Repeal has not made that prodigious advance which might have been anticipated as the result of the triumph of the 4 th of September . The enthusiasm awakened by the reversal of the judgment has not been turned to account ; and things remain , for die present , pretty much where they
were . Here we have a mutiny in the camp : and the wheeling round which we long anticipated now seems to be no " longer remote . The rent is pouring slowly into ConcilKiiionHall , and sedation is regarded as not a safe speculation ; and wewill ' wager a ducat that Mr ex-Alderman Pureell will not , in future , permit the Nation to be carrying the Repeal luggage , or yoking itself to a declining cause . It is to us nignkamusing to behold how Tait sneers at Mr . OXonneU and John Tuam , and takes such a fancy to the unfledged striplings of " Young Ireland .
Strange Doings .In Ireland.
STRANGE DOINGS . IN IRELAND .
AtLKOED COXSPIHACT TO MURDER THE OSJHOLIC ARCHBISHOP . The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Herald , writing on Jan . 6 th , gives the following- : " Yester day the Rev . Mr . O'Carroll ascended the pulpit in Westknd-row Chapel , and previous to his sermon ^ served that it was his most painful duty to inform fteeoncregationthat a conspiracy liad been discovered inthecountyofTipperary , whichhadlbrite object the murder of the most Rev . Dr . Murray , Archbishop of Dublin . Thisextraordinary statement produced considerable excitement . The rev . gent , proceeded to observe that tlie intelligence of tliis awful design was that morning communicated to their revered prelate bva magistrate of the county of Cork . Having heard
the foregoing statement in a public news-worn tius morning , I confess I entertained some doubt as to its correctness ; tat ; on inquiry at the chapel-house , the feet was confirmed . It appears that an anonymous letter , with the Tipperary post mark , was received by a magistrate in the county of Cork , calling upon inn fogo at once to Archbishop Murray , and apprise him that , 'three devils' had determined to take his life . The magistrate enclosed the letter to Dr . Murray by -whom it was received yesterday morning , and we must infer that his grace believed the contents to be true when he gave permission to the Rev . Mr O'Carroll to aunde to it in the pulpit . " The Dublin J&mitor of Monday thus announces the feet ;— " The greatest excitement prevailed in this

citv vestcrday and to-day , -in , consequencei . of a rumour IS been extensively circulated and gene-3 Sal «{ a conspiracy tawing been discovered mTipJerary , the object of wluch was to murder his GraceT > r . Murray . As may be naturally expected such a rumour spread like wildfire , and ; created the < rcatest excitement . For our own part , we attached no credence to it whatever ; the thing was so . improbable—so outrageously extravagant , that we could not bring ourselves to consider it in any serious light . However , as the statement was confidently repeated , we made some inquiries to ascertain whether there was any foundation for it , and we believe that the following may be relied on as correct : —A magistrate in the count v of Cork received an
anonymous letter , the purport of which was that 'three devils , ' as the writer said , had agreed to take the life of Ids Grace Dr . Murray , and the writer requested the magistrate to go at once and put Dr . Murray on his guard . The letter was from Tipperary , and , of course , the magistrate enclosed it to Dr . Murray , stating the manner in which it canie into Ms possession . Such , we believe , may be relied on as a correct account of the circumstances which gave rise to the rumour which has caused such a sensation in this city We confess we do not at present attach much importance to the statement . We are inclined to think that some mischievous person in Tipperary has been at workthat he wrote the anonymous letter to the magistrate , who certainly acted verv properly in forwjirding it
to Dr . Murray . We repeat , we cannot bring ourselves to believe that even among the diabolical ruffians of Tippeafry there could be found three fiends in human shape to conspire to take the life o such a venerated prelate as Dr ., Murray ; and for what ?—for merely acting according to his conscientious judgment in support of the Catholic ,, church , of which lie is one of its brightest ornaments , though by so acting he has incurred the calumnious invective and scandalous imputations of unscrupulous agitators . ' We cannot disguise , the fact , that the language in which Drs . CroJly , Murray , and Denvir are assailed is calculated to work upon the worst passions of the people , and to make them regard
those prelates as so many ' wolves in the told , ' as enemies to the Catholic religion—as having sold themselves to the Saxon , and betrayed the interests of the church . This is the sort of style in which those prelates are spoken of . " v The Monitor then gives specimens of the language held out both by clergy and laity at different meetings , respecting the three Catholic bishops , who have consented to form a portion of the Commission to administer the Catholic Bequests Bill , and then concludes as follows : —It is a pretty pass things are come to when such a spirit actuates priests and people—a spirit infused by Mr . O'Connell—a spirit to which he has pandered , in the hope of swelling the Repeal agitation . "
The Freeman ' s Journal affects not to believe the statement . It says : — " The Monitor , though the official gazette of the party who originated this base slander seems either not to be cognizant o £ the fact , or careful to conceal it—that this rumour was whispered about for some days , and that the calumniators of our land—those who would affix upon our noble , our generous people , the contemplation of a crime of deeper die than any . wherewith pur Saxon taskmasters ever sought to blacken the fair Janie of our country
—sought in vain to get currency for their guilty lie , till a rash clergyman , connected with Westland-row Catholic Church , perhaps in mistaken affection for the most rev . prelate whose name was mixed up with the foul fraud—perhaps through over-heated zeal for the new doctrines he has espoused , that the clergy should become the tools of the Castle—or perliapB to demonstrate the working of Castle connexion—was found on Sunday last to give publicity to the aspersions against his countrymen , which he , at least , should have inquired into before he promulgated .

THE REVENUE . THERE NEVER WERE SUCH " PROSPEROUS" TIMES . Ax abstract of the net produce of the Revenue of Great Britain , in the years and quarters ended the 5 th of January , ISii , and the 5 th of January , 18 i 5 , shewing the increase or decrease thereof , has just been published ; and as by those tables it appears that Sir Robert has discovered the means of wringing £ 51 , 235 , 533 out of the labour of the producing millions , that portion of the press which supports his administration is in extacies . " Look here ! " they triumphantly exclaim ; " see the benefits of Consertisni 1 You , Whigs , could only manage in 1840 to
scrape together £ 45 , 000 , 409 ; and in 1841 only £ 44 , 746 , 400 ; while our man , Peel , even after the relaxation and abolition of duties by his Tariff , has easily , collected £ 51 , 235 , 533 !! " " Is this nothing ? Is not this a proof that the people have confidence in him as a financier . ? Has he not saved the nation from the destruction to . which you , with your deficient income , was fast hurrying her ? Peel is the man—the man to get the money ; therefore , hurrah for Peel ! Long life to him , and the £ 51 , 000 , 000 a-year . " Such arc the seemly boasts made by the Ministerial press-gang ; boasts and
feelings , no doubt , participated in by those who live on the taxes — the dead-weight men ; the pretty misse 3 of the Pension List ; the annuitants of the "debt ; " therecipients . of salaries , and the pockettera of allowances . All these may well glory in tho fact that the Re venue has reached the point it has , because in that fact they see the chance of their several " pickings" being continued some little time longer undiminished in amount : but it by no means follows that the teople—those who have to furnish the means , -will be so ready to join in the chorus
of the " song of triumph ; " for the fact on which the loud boast of the Minister and his tune-servers over the Whigs is based , is simply this : —that Peel has managed , by "his " crooked hook" to filch out of their pockets in 1844 , £ 0 , 489 , 133 MORE than the Whigs did in 1 S 41 ! Blessed source of comfort and congratulation thatr-especially in these days of real Retrenchment ! Curious cause of inerrinient and joy!—Shout , boys , shout 1 " Clap your hands and be joyful , 0 ye people ; " for Peel has taken six and a half millions more from you than the " rascally robbing " Whigs did !
It may be useful to inquire from what source Peel derives his "increase ; " and a single glance at the table solves the question . The amount of the Income and Property Tax , for the year ending January 5 th , 1845 , is £ 5 , 191 , 696 : a not inconsiderable item of the six millions and a half . Then the increase in the " customs" in that year over the year ending Jan . 5 th , 1 S 44 , is £ 1 ,-305 , 453 ; and the increase of the " Excise , " for the same period ,, is £ 365 , 305 . No doubt but thatcircumstances have greatly aided Peel ; all of which Ms supporters would gladlj-place to his
own account , treating him as the cause of them , when in fact he has been but the creature . The two good harvests that have followed each other , making food at now . plentiful , and consequently " cheap , " have left us the means at home , which in times of " scarcity" had to be employed in getting food from abroad : teaching us the "" simple and natural lesson that if we would ever remain " prosperous , " we unist produce enough of food at home , and not have to "buy" it , either with " money" or "labour , " from abroad . It has been calculated that the last
harvest made a difference of £ 5 , 000 , 000 in amount of produce between it and the harvest of 1841 ; it e ., to have secured in England inl&ll , the amount of food which the harvest of last year gave us , would have taken £ 5 , 000 , 000 or £ 5 , 000 , 000 ' s worth—it matters not -which . —to . have purchased the deficient quantity from other states . la there not cause for '' pros-

perity" iu that ? And was Peel at the bottom of it ? Did he controul the seasons , and make the seed to fructify and bring forth abundantly ? Was it of no advantage to have the £ 5 , 000 , 000 at home , to spend in the manufacturing market ? And has not the " prosperity" thus caused greatly aided Peeii tothe result that his "increase" of Customs and Excise exhibits ?—aye , and this too , without any thanks to him . A deficient harvest would have caused his Revenue table to tell a far different tale ! .
There is all the difference in the world between natural abundance and an artificial abundance of food . It is true that in years when the harvest is scanty , we can procure tho deficient quantity from other sources : but then we have to give labour for it . If the last harvest had been like th r one of 1841 , £ 5 , 000 , 000 short of what it really was , we could hare purchased the required amount of food : but though wo should have acquired the bread , we should have hit the money . There would have been £ 5 , 000 , 000 las amongst us . It would not have mattered one straw whether the £ 5 , 000 , 000 worth of food had been paid for in gold , or exchanged for in calicoes or woollens : the result would have been
the same . We should .. have been imrns the £ 5 , 000 , 000 ' s worth . Bread thus , procured , however " cheap" it may appear to be in nominal price , is the " dearest" of all . It follow * of necessity that this must be so ; for , besides the fact that you pay the full price for it in labour , or labour's worth , you decrease your means of employing- other labour ; you decrease ihe means of profitable consumption ; you pauperise your producers : you then havetbem to maintain in idleness . ; you strive to starve them off the rate-books ; you thus engender " Bullenness" ; and then you have an extensive army of police to maintain , to watch the stackyards and homesteads ,, to see that , the . " sullenness" does not manifest itself in "incendiarism" ! Produce enough
at home , and let the producer have his fair share of it , and all these evilsare annihilated ! True , we cannot bespeak a good season , or put back a bad one : but we can , with skill and culture , aid the one and greatly mitigate the other . We can cultivate enough of land . We can cultivate that . laiid well , We can , on an average of years , produce enough of food at home ; and it is clearly our interest so to do ; and as clearly not our interest to purchase from abroad .
, The two last harvests , abundant , as they were , have greatly aided Peel , » and have mainly contributed to produce the " prosperity" attempted to be laid to hit account . To these , add the amount of manufacturing industry caused by the temporary settlement of the paper-money affair in America , which has caused a " brisker" demand for woollen and worsted goods , ademand we have " satisfied , "—wise folks as wo are , —to repletion . Let us not forget the " demand" consequent on the troubled state of Spain , which lias enabled us for a . scries of months to smuggle British manufactured goods through
Portugal iuto a country whore they are all but prohibited : and when to these items of " prosperity" we add the extravagant expectations engendered by the ratification and promulgation of the Chinese Treaty , winch have led to a " block-up" in that quarter ; and also take into account the spirit of gambling speculation in Railway Shares let loose by the operations of the Banking system and the consequent " abundance of money , " we shall have little difliculty in divining the cause of the present apparent " prosperity" ; see howit has worked , so far , in aid of Peel ' s administration , making . it
appear tuccessful before the unreflecting portion of the community ; and enable , us to estimate the real value of the loud boasts by which the public ear is now greeted . A slight examination will show that the " prosperity" is unreal , evanescent—fleeting as a summer ' s cloud . " Reflection will show that the re-acft ' onis £ t hand ; that the speculative mania is sure to produce its effects : that nine-tenths of the Railway schemes that have been propounded , and which , the gamblers on the Stock Exchange and the gamblers out of the Stock Exchange , have turned to such good account at somebody ' s expense , will melt
away in Parliament like snow on the river , leaving the poor innocent confiding " holders" of shaves a tremendously ugly " dog to hold "; that the enforcing of " call * " on those who "hold , " but who have not means to pat , willtumble the " market" of shares down much faster than it " went up ; " that the losstlnw occasioned to other holders will make them , in a hurry to sell ; that the decreased value ! of the property (!) will bring hundreds to beggary—and these ,, in their turn , will bring down-hundreds more ; that the " blow to confidence" thus given will not be confined to the share-market alone , but extend to all the operations
of trade ; , that the last accounts from India and China reprcBcnt the markets there as all but glutted , and that s coure of " prosperity" all but , cut off : that the American demand is all but annihilated by the " excessive" shipments of woollen and worsted goods during 1844 ; that the consequences on the homemarket ,- from the foregoing causes ,-must 1 )© injurious : reflection on all these matters will show that wo are far from , being out o f the wood ! and that it is worse than senseless to boast . It will also shew to the wise the necessity of being prepared for the
coming time ! And what , after all , lias Sir R . Phel to bo proud of ! ItiB true that he has got six-and-a-half millions more than the Whigs could get ; but he has not got more than he wants!—all he has got is little enough . He lias an expenditure of £ 51 , 139 , 514 11 b . 6 Jd . [ how exact the accounts are ' . ] to provide for ; and lie has buijust met it ! No very great thing after all . There is not much of a " surplus . " A good large one was expected . There are many mouths wide open , in anxious expectation of " a plum . " The demands of the several parties for their store will be inconveniently
pressing . The remission ol one tax will be asked for , and the abolition of another ; none of which can Peel spare ; for if " prosperity" only makes ends meet , pray what will adversity or "panic" do ? And thus does Peel approach the only "fair trial" he has had . He has the question of tho Income-tax to face . The giving up of that "iniquitious impost" will be demanded , and tho faith of Parliament pleaded that it was only enacted for three years . The other parties that we formerly enumerated will also be at the Minister , all making and pressing and enforcing their claims ; so that oo the whole , Peel will have a most comfortable berth of it ! We wish him joy !

YOUNG ENGLAND IN PRINT . We confess ourselves to have been among those who felt some little anxiety , as well as curiosity , about the appearance ol the " coming man . " We had not figured him in imagination by any of the distinguishing types or preconceptions by which the youth , speaking for himself , informs us ho was prejudged by the curious . The advent of " Little Britain "—{ for such in all justice to the gentleman who has at length made his appearance wo must
christen the young stranger)—by no means conjured up notions in our mind of " white waistcoats and certain impracticable fancies ; " but , on the contrary , the loud and ominous thunder that preceded the nation ' s accouchement , had prepared us , if not for a monster , at least for a giant , capable of grappling with the several wrongs of which _ Old England complained , and of remedying the several abuseu under which she was tottering .

waited patiently , yet anxiously , for the . development of the character , and the enunciation of the principles , of the party which promised so much , and from winch so much has been expected . The first number of a newspaper , entitled " Young England" wa » published on Saturday last ; and to it we very naturally looked for a declaration of the principles and objects of the " new party , " as well as the meant of carrying them out . The declaration of objects and principles has hitherto been held as an indispensable ingredient in tho formation of new societies ; but after perusing the three columns headed " Principles op Young England , " wo found ourselves , at the close of our labour , in the same
" blessed state of ignorance" as when we commenced . We looked with a species of awe , if not of reverence , to the sacred record ; and abandoning for tho moment all notion of self-impoi'tance—all preconceived notions—all recollection of by-gone teuching , we were prepared to receive a new lesson at the hands of our new preceptor . We had anticipated the utter dissipation of the world ' s darkness hy the burst of a new light of a new philosophy ; but , alas ! woe is man , and " happy is he who expects nothing ,, for he will never bo disappointed . " Instead of receiving the anticipated instruction , we discovered that the great Schoolmaster of 1845 had mainl y derived' his education from tho previous year ' s philosophy of Mr . Gladstone , and Mr . Charles Buller .
That the world has been turned topsy-turvy for the last whole . century , was a self-evident and indisputable fact : that the many rapid changes which have followed each other in quick succession during that period had disturbed some interests , and affected all , arc incontrovertible moral , social , and political truths ; and the cause of the capsize and rumble , as well as the consequences of tho " ups and downs" of life , were enigmatical problems thus solved hy Mi-. Gladstone and Mr . C . Bullib , in the year 1843 , when the former assured the HouBe of Commons . " that it was ono of the most melancholy
features in the social state of the country , that while there was a decrease in the consuming power of the people , and anincrease in the privations and distress of the labouring and operative clasta , there was at the same time a constant accumulation of wealth in the upper classes , and a constant increase of capital . " A few weeks lator Mr . C . Buller repeated : " We se » extreme destitution throughout the industrious classes , and at the sanie timeincontestible evidences of vast wealth rapidly augmenting . "
We do not mean to dispute the truth of the assertions of Messrs . Gladstone and Buller ; but we do object to being charged with ignorance on subjects which for the last seven years we have kept prominently before the people , because the oft-repeated truism has struck upon the ear of our juvenile teacher as a novelty , ' when hinted at by the aforesaid two members of Parliament . Old " John of Greenfield , " the Lancashire prophet , propounded the very same doctrine nearly a century ago , but in more homely and touching phraseology , when he said- — "that all the stuff in the world was made for all the folk in the world—and he hadn't a share of it . "
Young England would appear to have a very clear poi - ception ; ofthoi > nst , present , and future ; andalthough we are kept in the dark as to the means by which the principles of the party are to be carried out , or indeed , of the principles themselves , nevertheless the prospectus furnishes us with ample work for generations yet to come . The Church—its dissensions , backslidings , and innovations ; the landlords , and their obligation to discharge the duties consequent on the possession of property ; tho application of chemical and mechanical power to the wants of the whole human race ; fitting regulations for the adjustment of trade ; tho
pressing demands for reforming our colonial policy ; tho greater responsibility of the rulers to the ruled ; the necessity of National Education and religious instruction ; the union of the two Irish rival churches , t « the end that both may be moulded to ministerial will ; the indispensable necessity of crushing brawling demagogues ; the better adjustment of our currency ; the preservation of our firm adherence to the Established ' Church , : watered by the blood of the martyrs ; the transportation of convicts , with a view to extending civilization to penal colonies ; emigration , as a means
of promoting increased markets for the produce of English labour . ; the relations between crime and punishment : suoli are a few only of the social questions which our youthful Mend tells us demand investigation ; while the only denned remedy proposed , as a means of present correction , is the , propriety of English labourers , who can find no employment at home , emi-GBATiifo to those wide tracts which are nominally dependant on the English crown , there to " subjugate IHE FOKEST AND CONQUER THE WILDERNESS . " This , we presume , is to be the English labourers " stake in the hedge" !
The work that our active coadjutor ha % cut out for himself , both abroad and at home , would naturally lead us to suppose that the co-operation of all would be sought for its completion . But no ; the samo singleness of mind . and purpose that has inspired our friend with a desire for universal regeneration , further prompts him to spurn all aid , and determines him to do the work alone . '" Cjiabtism , Univjshsal Suffrage , Socialism , sullen disaffection ,
crime , incendiarism , riots , and almost rebellions , "ALL of which Young England tells ub are "the offspring ! of ignorance , Biillenness , and rights " withheld , "—are to be swept away , and for ever , from the land b y the wand of tho new magician : and to the performance of this Herculean labour our indomitable champion very candidly tells us that tho Yoraa Manhood of the British nation is roused , not by a sense of duty so much as by a sense of d auger .
We beg to assure " Little Britain" that the Young England aristocracy are many years bohind Old England ' s toiling sons in that description of education which alone can fit man for tho office of rulor of the present generation . It is uot from Gladstose or Buller that Young England should derive information ; but , as he professes to bo friendly to the . principle of discussion , we would strongly urge , on him tho necessity of taking counsel of those whose wrongs wo believe he would cheerfully redress , and who will teach him , that although Chartism maybe a
CONSEQUENCE OF RIGHTS WITHHELD and hope deferred , nevertheless the working classes of England recognise in the very name a charm possessing greater power than any fascinating novelty tho most lively imagination can present . Although we have been constrained to speak thus despondingly of the first number of Young England , yet , with more generosity than our " repudiating" friend , we shall be happy to mark his improvement in social and political knowledge , and to record the effect that a closer intercourse with the working classes is sure to produce . As our principal objection to all
crotchetmongers has been the want of defined principles , aud a deficiency of the meant necessary for carrying even their own nostrums , we must refuse adhesion to the present policy of Young England , —of his " principles" as yet we know nothing , —until we see a more clear development of the means by which even the most simple of the ten thousand proposed changes is to be accomplished . The value of Chartism has been its determination to remain a mountain : and now that it has brought forth a mouse , perhaps our young clnld , _ ibr after all Yomy England ism * offspuing of CiiAimsM .-inay condescend to learn from its parents before he can hope to teach

JSgSS 5 = ^ = — ——————The Secbetabt in the Locality where John Moss is gone to reside , late of Derby , Boot and Shoe Maker , is requested to correspond with fra , Chandler , Upper Brook-street , Derby , when he will receive information of importance . Wiiliam Saxbt , Favebsham , Kent , returns thanks to those friends who havo forwarded Stan to him for midlstribution ; and bogs to assure them that the Stars so distributed tend much to break up new ground , ffo doubt the seed thus sown will in due time bring forth good fruit . JOSEPH Haughton , Wabbington , writes us to say , that * number of friends in that town are making
subscriptions weekly to purchase a quantity of Mr . O Connor s reply to Chamber ' s tract on the Em&oytr and Employed , for general distribution as a tract ; and he particularly recommends the adoption of the plan by all other localities , as one calculated to produce immense good . Joun Heap and Ambrose Tomlinson , Bdhnley . —It would not comport with our plan to publish their resolutions on the particular subject embraced by them . It ¦¦¦ they wish other localities in the neighbourhood to know that they have bee .. ' adopted , the subjecretary can communicate them . There is no reason why the public in other parts shouldbe troubled with them . William Wistbam , Han-ley . — The address of Mr . O'Higgins is— " P . O'liiggins , Esq ., North Anne-street ,
Dublin . " Mr C Dehby . —Yes . . A lease , if its provisions are abided by , will always " stand good" for the term included in it . If any party succeeded , to the estate , either by purchase , demise , or . descent , it would still be subject to the lease , as loiig as it was in force . Wsi Payne , Stratford-on-Avom . —We never promise to / publish anything uutil we see it . If he choses to send the communications he speaks of , if , deemed of sufficient interest they will appear . But they must take ' their chance like all others . One point our correspondent sadly neglects ; he addresses his communications to everybody but the right party . His last was addressed to the printer . Has he not seen it several times repeated in the Star , that communications for the paper are to be addressed to " the" Editor , Mr . Joshua Hobson . , Strand , London" ? let him attend to this simple instruction / and his letters will reach iu due course ; while if he sends them , as he has sent his former ones , delay iu reaching the Editor is the
consequence . Allotments of Land . —The benevolent intentions of many of the laud-ownevs , who havo become convinced by recent discussion and Parliamentary inquiry , that land allotments to the labourers on their estates are calculated to add to their means of comfort , aud aid in repressing the deep feeling of discontent and " sullenness" which Young ' England says "breeds CnAOTisa and ' incendiarism , " are-thwarted and rendered ' of non-avail by the conduct of their " stewards , " who interpose all sorts of . difficulties , and evince every unwillingness to aid the misery-stricken worker in bettering his condition . It will be at once apparent that these gentry , whenever they set themselves to such a' task , can , ^ without seemingly departing from the strict line of "duty , " so harassr : ancbtrouble those who ' seek to have allotments
under them , as to render the tenancy an unbearable one , and either prevent them from engaging in the undertaking at all , or drive them from it in sheer disgust . In a majority of cases of this sort , the real facts never reach the car of the owner who sought to render some portion of his possessions available , to the producers on them for the production of comforts for themselves ; but he hears the version of the story vamped up by the agent , who shelters his own conduct behind the " ingratitude of the lower orders , " who " met the . benevolent intentions of their landlord in such an unbecoming spirit "; and the landlord imbibes a notion-that lie lias attemvttd to do his " < ivttj" ttm-ai-ds
"the poor "—and they would not let him : therefore ho is at liberty to care no more about them , —at least till they come to their senses , and show they have hearts" to appreciate tho " kindness" intended them . And ' thus the sufferers uro left to suffer on , because the tender seniibilities of a leaden head and steeled-heart have npt been awakened iii their favour . The Dimmer in which such a matter as this is managed by the " go-between" ; gentry will be learned by a perusal of tho following , from the pen of Mr . ltobert Wild , of Mottram , who has been an active actor in the scenes he describes , and who , very properly , determined that the landlord should , in this instance at least , be made acquainted with the doings of his " servant " : —
The Hon . J . Tollemache , being tlie principal landowner in " our village , and having boon informed that he was favourable to the system of allotments , a number . of operatives — block-printers and others — whose avocation had gone , through the application of machinery to their craft , applied to that gentleman for portions of laud each : He promptly returned ; an answer , stating that all who lived in Mottram , und wished to have allotments , might have to , the extent of half an acre each . Previously . to this communication being sent to the lion , gentleman , several labourers applied repeatedly during the past summer to Mr . T . Dcarnelly ( agent to the hon . gentleman ) for small plots ; but he , being opposed to the plan , used every subterfuge to defeat tho applicants . Enraged at his conduct , the labourers determined to acquaint the hon . gentleman with the proceedings of his
steward ; and Mr . Tollemache , believing that theirs were well founded grounds of complaint , wrote to the applicants to say that he would himself come over , and choose the fields most suitable for them , trying to settle the affair to theirsatisfaction ; and in the meantime he intimated to his "faithful steward" that the duties of his stewardship had not been discharged , with fairness and impartiality . Time flew on . The appointed day arrived ; but with no Mr . Tolicmache . However , it was rumoured lie had been iu the neighbourhood , which report turned out to be correct , as appeared from a letter sent by the hon . gent ., apologising tor non-attendance on the day fixed . Report says also , that the hon .-gentleman and his steward ( Mr . Dearnelly ) had au interview , at . which sharp words were exchanged , but which ended in the steward ' s pretending willingness—nay ,
promiseto select the most suitable plots for the purpose , with reference to price aud situation . In the letter from Mr . Tollemache , it was stated that tlie agent was anxious to do his best for the applicants ; whether he lias done so or not , let the following brief statement testify : —Iu the first place , he selected land ( three fields ) , for the best of which he only wants Is 3 d for the Cheshire rod ( 64 yards !) , and seeks to compel the labourers to fence all round the piece—au . item of expense , the fanner never bears , but which tlie poor man must ! Yes , he must keep up tlie fences to protect his lumpers and cabbage against the depredations of the farmers' cattle . Another field he has selected ; the farmer who has held it some time says it never paid : in fact , it would be folly to expect aught in the shape ' of remuneration for labour from an old brickyard . It is , in fact , an old brick croft , from which nearly all the soil has been taken , or buried beneath the brickbats and rubbish ; for this he only asks £ 5 the acre ! Charitable man!—good soul What , can prevent his going to Heaven — being clothed in
garments of gold—and welcomed with : "Well , done , thou good and faithful servant ?" Having , m the first instance , applied myself for a small plot , thinking that half au acre of garden ground would belter ray condition , 'I ,. in company with a few other labourers , last week applied again to this worthy agent , telling him in a proper manner that the land he had selected was not suitable for our purpose , or in accordance with the expressed wish of his employer . The following conversation took place - . —Agent : "Let nio-see- what is your name V Aiumer : " Robert Wild . " " Ah ah ! Yes , there lias been a great deal of writing between you allotment fellows and Mr . Tollemache , in which you have held me up as a bad man-as the blackest villain on earth . Through your mistaken notions you have misrepresented me , anil have caused much unpleasantness . Aud I believe it is m your hand-writing ? " Answer . - It is nothing more than you mi ght expect . " " Well " said he , I don't care a straw . ' 1 have determined you shall have no land . " " How is that V " Why , because I have a deal against you . " "Fiwwlmt . ? " « n tu ™
all about you . " Well , let me hear what it is ? " "Oil have discovered , a Wot in your ckimetc ? '' . « Well , point it out . « V hy , man , you have been in prison two years tor promulgating youv revolutionary doctrines . You are a nmh Chartist . " I rejoined , " and you are a Tory ; and Chartism , when examined , will be found equally honourable , and when reduced to practice more beneficial than your , much-vaunted Toryism . " " Yes , " said he , I-know you have impudence enough to say so : but you can't convince me of that . " I answered , " I shall not attempt . However , sir , I have one more question to ask . Do you object to me having an allotment merely because you and I differ in politics ? that because 1 am a Chartist , have been kept down with poverty for years and am seeking to ' improve the-condition
ot my lamuy by means of my own labour , and that of my neighbours , hy securing the fruits of our toil through the enactment . of the Gharter " - ( InteiTupting ) said lie ,-"lour Charter , I tell you , will be your ruin . Your Uiartcr is opposed to the Queen ami constitution , and aims at nought but revolution . Yes , and I tell you again , that those who hold such inflammatory doctrines as yours are enemies to their country , and must not be encouraged with allotments . If I had my way with such as you , who poison the minds of all well-disposed people , I would banish you totally out of the country . You are not fit for society . I havo scratched your name out , you iiiust have no land—with your Chartism . " On this beautitul specimen of Tory liberality I shall offer no remark , but leave you and your readers to make their own comment . O , dear ! I am cut off for ever from the soil !
Hobeut Wild . It remains to be soon whether the hon .- landlord will countenance the vindictive and disgraceful proceedings of his underling . If he does , all his professions of a desire to improve the conditiou of the workers are mere moonshi ne . We trust , however , that he will Show himself superior to . the . revengeful feelings that prompted the conduct of , his " faithful steward " « Chautuk and Ikoemdiamsji , " Yoiing JSngland gravely states to be " the offspring of sullenness aud rkhts withheld . " Will the " sulleuness " of Robert Wild be lessened by " withholding" from him his " right" to the and ; and will that bu the ben mode of convincing him that Chartism is wrong ? Let the Hon . Mr . Tolt lemache look to this matter . His character is involved . He has , it is true , evinced a disposition to cause
" withholden" rights to be restored to the allotment applicants , by personally interfering to prevent tho spleen of his vindictive and cruel-hearted "repre sentative" from having full play : but his interference is needed how more than ever ; or it will be apparent that , in Ms opinion , to be a Chartist is to be a pariah —one deservedl y thrust out of the palo of social life Surely ' the " putting down " ' system is at at end ! Ex ' perieuce had proved that it is utterly inefficacious for its purpose ; that if never did , arid never can , succeed : bnt that it will produce ' suileuness" , which , whether it engenders Chartism or not , is but too likel y to end in » biiendidrim »! Let the Hon . Mr . Tollemache read a lesson in this instance , to brutal and over , bearing " stewards "; and teach his brother landowners ; how to go to work to cause their benevolent
intentions to have due effect , and all fair play . - We shall anxiously watch this case , and report the result at a future time . * intentions to have due effect , and all fair play . - We shall anxiously watch this case , and report the result at a future time . *

to obtain a . little money , but being disappointed I did not know what to do . I was obliged to pled ge some bed clothes , as all my wearing apparel is gono , I have no hope , unless my Chartist friends thiuk of my situation . " Since that period Mrs .

* Several gifts of stationery from this gentleman ar « thankfully acknowledged . THOMAS M . WHEELER . Brother Chartists , —The period is now rapidly an . proaching when , in accordance with the rules , Ve shall have to resign the trust reposed in us ; and having , duriug our period of office , discovered that a contrariety of opinion exist * relative to the be » t mode of electing your Executive Council , several important towns—including Manhcester , London , Tavistock , aud others—being iu fa . vour of an election by the votes of the whole of-the members instead of the present system , we think it advisable that some decision should be come to upon this subject ; and therefore recommend that each locality in the king . dom shall call a special meeting of its members , and procure their several decisions , by ballot or otherwise , upon the following questions : —
First . —Shall the ensuing- Executive Committee to ) elected by the vote of each member possessing a card of the current year , or in accordance with the- present plan of organisation—viz ., nomination by the members aud election by the votes of the Delegates at the Annual Cou . vention ? Second . —If the decision should be iu favour of dec . tion by the votes of the members , will' it'be advisable to hold the Annual Convention ? Third . —If the decision should be in favour of holding the Convention , shall its sittings be in London , or ( iuac cordanee with tlie decision of the late Convention ) at Leeds .
Let the answers to the above questions be recorded in the following manner . The sub-Secretary shall , between the present period and the 1 st of February call a special meeting of the membcvg , when tho al »« o questions shall be submitted to' them , and each member shall write on a ballot-paper an answer'in the following manner : — First . —Members br Convention . Second . —Convention or no Convention . Third . ^—London or Leeds . ¦ The number of votes pro . and con . shall be carefully recorded , and a return made to ' the General Secretary . The votes of the whole of the Localities will then be published , and the Executive will feel bound to act unou the decision of the majority . Friends ^—The greatest advantage to be ' derivod from
the principles of democracy is that of enabling the Executive , under doubt , hesitation , or necessity , to appeal to the whole people ; and feeling that the required confidence cannot be reposed in a body as to the nmdc of whose election there exists tlie slightest , doubtwe have thought it om « duty thus briefly to submit the foregoing questions to your consideration and adjustment . And the election of an Executive being the principal duty to be performed by the Annual Convention , your decision upon the first point may help you to an easier solution of the second . Many localities complain of the double «< pense of paying delegates , as well as their regular contributions , to carry on the movement . Ilowever it is our duty to suggest all matters upon which the fate of our cause depends—it is yours to decide upon them . P . M'Gtrath , Prcsideut . Christ . Dotle . T . Clabk . F .

Attempt to Poison a Family at Masoiiesteb .-On Monday evening last a most atrocious attempt to poison las wile and two children was made by licujantm Anderson , a millwright , living at No 1 ) 1 Jon ' - street , Ancoats , Manchester . It appears that for several days past Anderson , who is in the cmplov of Messrs . Fairburn , the engineer , had been drinkins , and on Saturday spent the entire of his warns fa liquor . On Monday afternoon lie came homc " aboi * halt-past three o ' clock and asked his wife to let liun have some tea , Mrs . Andevson toM him that the kettle was on the fire , and as soon as she had made some for her ¦ daughter , who worked in a factory , she would make him some . Ho immediately became very abusive , and told both hi * witeand son ( a boy about eleven vcars nl . n that they
should not stop in the house , and under a threat ot being beaten they went into the street . Anderson then bolted tho door and refused for some time to p . llofl them to come in . As she stood near the window Mvs . Anderson saw her husband go to the cuv boarA and take a quantity of onions out , which he placed in the window . After doing something else at the cupboard , Anderson opened the door and left the h ouse without getting any tea . As soon as he was gone . Mrs . Anderson again ventured in , and made some tea , sweetening it with brown sugar , which she noticed was speckled with white spots , but did not suspect any harm . Upon tasting the tea , however , shewasmuci }
