Wit . T . S . DU-VCOMBE AXD THE ITALIAN EXILES . At apnbfic laSefing of Italians refiauig m" London , held at Cewttini ' s Rooms , it was unanimously resolved : — u ThatthethMksofthisineetiiig . l « conveyed to Thomas Sliugsby Dancombe , Esq .. M . P ., for M * ? cner « a = :. n , l spirited cunflnctin parliam = utr ^ . ccUns tUe violation of private letters at the Postoffice . " That a medal , struck in commemoration of the brothers Bandiera , and their feUow-sufferera at Cosenza , be presented to the same honourable gentleman , as a testimonial of the respect and gratitude of this meeting , and respectfully submitted to Ms acceptance by an appropriate address . "That a deputation , composed of the chairman , and two other gentlemen , to be chosen by this meeting , wait upon the honourable gentlemen at his earliest convenience , charged with the testimonial and address above said . "
Accordingly L . Mariotti , H . Manara , and F . 0 . Beggi , waited upon ' jlr . Thomas Duncombe , at the Albany when the medal * was presented and the following address delivered : — "Sir , —We have the honour to appear before you , charged with a mission from a large number of our countrymen redding in England . " We are requested by them to tender their feelings of profound respect and sincere gratitude to you for the up right and generous manner in which you vindicated the honour of English hospitality , by loudly denouncing the dark transactions of the Government who disgracefully riolatedit . " Conscious of having performed a sacred duty to your own country , you arc , no doubt , equally aware that you bare also advocated the cause of an illustrious though unfortunate nation , whilst the Government you opposed basely prostitute j the power with which a free people invested them , to make it subservient to the sanguinary views of foreign despotism .
" Sir , —We would request you to accept a medal which has been struck in honour of nine Italians , lately shot at Cosenza for the cause of the liberty , unity , and independence of their country . : " It is with pain , sir , that in our desire to do you honour , we have nothing to offer but what is intended as a commemoration of a national disaster ; but you , who have but recently experienced how , even in a laud of freedom , injustice may prevail to an alarming extent ; how espionage , forgery , and calumny may be practised by men entrusted with the highest authority , and ( even whilst in their heart disavowing such nefarious measures ) sane , tioned by a large majority of other men chosen to exercise a salutary restraint upon the former—you will be easily disposed to appreciate a sacred cause rather from its justice than from its success—you will feel that there is a depth of adversity bordering on sublimity , and we arc assured you nill share our reverence for the blood of our Martyrs .
" In the name , then , of our slain brethren , in the name oi many thousands of our living countrymen who might forfeit life or liberty by merely uniting with us in this demonstration , receive , sir , the thanks of all good Italians ; and Cod speed the day when the whole emancipated country may be allowed the free expression of its debt of gratitude to you . "We would likewise request you to thank , in our name , such of the members of Parliament as seconded and supported you during the numerous debates on the subject " To which Mr . Duncombe made the following answer : —
"Gentlemen , —I can assure you that you have only made a fair estimate of my feelings when you say that I can appreciate a sacred cause , rather from its justice than from its success . I do so appreciate it , and sincerely trust that the day may not be far distant when your illustrious country , nnaired by the perfidy of a British cabinet , undismayed by domestic tyranny , and untramrael ed by foreign despotism , will avenge the national insults she lias endured , and claim satisfaction for her murdered martyrs , by proclaiming her national independence and her oppressors ? treason .
"Gentlemen , —I accept the proffered testimony of your approval of my humble services with a sorrowful pride . Sorrows for the loss that you and Italy have sustained , and pride that through my exertions the stain of the martyr ' s blood has been wiped from the English character , and stamped upon the real perpetrators of the foul dead ; and trifling though the gift may appear in your eyes , I shall proudly preserve it as a valued testimony of good men's approval , and shall bequeath it a relic commemorative of what England was in the days of her rulere' perfidy , and as a warning to rising generations of the imbecility of hoping to arrest the progress of freedom by the terrors of the scaffold .
" Gentlemen , —In compliance with your wish , it will be my duty to convey your thanks to those independent members of Parliament who dared to exercise a constitutional privilege iu spite of Ministerial influence or State necessity . And in ouce more thanking you for the honour you have this day done me , I believe I am only expressing the sentiments of the great body of my countrymen , ¦ when I say that they sincerely wish your noble cause may speedily be brought to a successful and triumphant issue "

SHORT-TIME FESTIVAL AT PRESTON . Ou Tuesday evening the operatives employed in the extensive cotton mills of Xfr . R . Gardner , justice of the peace for the county of Lancaster , held their first anniversary to celebrate the introduction of the tnort-tinie system in that establishment ; thehonre of working having been only eleven hours , instead of twelve , during the lastyear . A private meeting of a few of the workpeople had been convened shortly before , to talk over the benefits accruing from the diminution of the time of labour , when the present public demonstration was determined upon . Immediately npon the announcement being made , upwards oF a thousand tickets were sold , and , so great was the demand , that tIiefo'& £ << F entree rose to a high premium . The mayor of the borough , Mr . J . Paley , also a large nill owner , granted the use of the Corn-exchange rooms for the meeting , and the spacious apartments were tastefully decorated .
At seven o ' clock the doors were thrown open , and immediately the rooms were filled by a host of work-Ing people in holiday attire . The Rev . Owen Pan-, accompanied by his daughter , and several of the wealthy inhabitants of the borough , joined the party at a somewhat later hour . Tea was served at ciglit oi clock , ; uter which the chair was taken , amidst « reat cheering by Mr . James Brown . The Chairman requested attention , to some letters relative to the meeting , which had just been received Tlie first was from Mr . TV . A . Gardner , lamenting lus inability to be present with them and preside over uieir meeting ; the other from Mr . Robert Gardner , the owner of the works , from which we must extract the following : — " I avail myself of the present opportunity to state , that I am quite satisfied that both as
mucli yarn and as much power-loom cloth may be produced at quite as low a cost in eleven as in twelve flours per day ; at any rate , such has proved itself to be the ease in my mills at Preston . So fully satisfied am 1 on this point , that if it should please God to spare my life to the season of the present year when weight up again , it is my present intention to make tftrUier reduction of time to ten and a-half hours , mthout ihe slightest fear of suffering bv it . I find the hands work with greater energy and spirit ; thev "I " ?!; * & *** & . and apparently more happv . " ' The Chairman afterprefaeing his remarks ; said-Thjs js a triumph of humanity . We are here assembled tocelebrate the anniversary of an experiment in the reduction of the honrsoffactorvlabow—an experiment which is followed in its train hv lianninfiss .
conhort , j ; nd perfect satisfaction to all who have the pleasure ox « artici patiag iu it . At various periods in tie agitation for a ten hours' bill , our opponents nave resorted to every means to arrest its onward progress . Upon one occasion they tried to prove its ot the manufacturer was reaped in the last hour of ot his work people ' s labour . During the debate last year it was predicted by some wiseacres that the disadvantages of a reduction of the hours would be disadvantageousto suchadesree , andsoevidentlyso , that tae factory workers themselves would petition—nay , demand the repeal of auy such enactment before the end of twelve months . These statements on the one hand , and the coercion of the Ilouse of Commons on the other , by a threat of resignation on the part of the Ministrv , prevented the righteous decision that
ten hours ner day are sufficient for women and young persons to work in factories . The chairman then alluded feelingly to the comfort of having an extra hour per day for the father or mother of a family , and the profit to be derived from it by the young people , lie had himself known factory labour when it was spread over fifteen hours of the day , when it was dearlv impossible for the operative to be other than a brute worker . For himself he could say , tUat la these last twelve months he had the time , and strength , of body acting upon the mind , to improve himself more than in any threeprevious years Mr . V . Eckcrdey , in proposing a vote of thanks to Mr . Ga : -acr , said , that he could testify that it had been of gieat benefit to his own family during the
whole of the last twelve months ; he had a large family , and they had all been better able to attend to secular education than before , and had consequently much improved . Facts werestubbomthings ; 2 " the promoters of the present system of factory labour would take the hint offered by Mr . Gardner , they would establish the same principle , and in doing so benefit alike themselves and their hands . Mr . J . Auyon , in seconding the motion , wished thattherevrere more masters like Mr . 11 . Gardner , threat cheers .. ) The working classes had received tue benefit of . his giving up the old system . Educauoahad been promulgated , health restored , cleanlii ^ Su ^ and U was to ' fi ™ 1 conviction that SfiBnfi £ ! r * ^ improvement in their conamon than any measure adopted within the last

twenty years . It was necessary as regarded work , ¦ tiuubwa strength of the bodrshould be" Kept ' aft and twelve hours was too long a tune for that to be possible . He then read a case stated by one of the workmenatsomclength . andconcluded— "Itwasaqucstion of humanity—nay , more , a carrying out of the principles of religion . Lord John Russell said , in a meeting in London , that the factory hands had no time either for this world or the next . It was too true : but the wjiy to give them time was what they were met together to show to others . " _ A great many other excellent speeches were made
by parties connected with Mr . Gardner ' s works , and strangers from Manchester and Bolton . The whole aflairwent off very well , and must , we think , call the attention of the whole mill-owning body to so evident a case of the practicability , on economic grounds , of shortening the hours of labour . If a man can work 12 kours ~ \ vhy not 14 , 16 , or 24 ? We know well that lassitude must come at one hour or the next , and if in 11 hours as much work , and more , can be done than in 12 ( as is proved by the statements above , we may hope that Lord Ashley ' s measure may in a little time not be received sulkily , but as an actual boon , by the millowners themselves .

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO ? TO WHAT ARE WE COMIJfG ? " WHAT'S IN THE WIND THAT ELOWS ZHZSWAY ?" The greatest Vz-fornur of the day is Sir Robert Peel . To that man seems to have ken given a special xiissio . v to break up the murderous system of Protestakt AscENDAJ » cr , loan-mongerbg , ragmoney , high taxation , and defiance of the people ' s wilL It has been bis fate to deal out to that system the most violent blows that it has received : blows which , have sent it reeling and staggering like a
drunken man , and from , which , thank God ! it can never recover . And yet he has done all this as t / te System ' s friend ! He was the founder , the builderup , of the great Conservative party—a party that was to have maintained , " inviolate , " our glorious coxsiitctiox in Churcli and State ; " a party that was to have resisted the insidious efforts of the innovator—he who designed to alter the "ENVY of surrounding nations , " and "take the shine" out of the " apmihaiios of the world ; " aparty , composed of the adherents , the followers , and the zealous admirers of the "Pilot that weathered the storm" —the
members and spouters of the Prri-clubs—the drinkers of the insulting toast , " The land we live in : those who do not like it , damn ' em let ' em leave it ;" a party , numbering in its ranks the men who stood up , uncovered , and received Castlereagh— cutthroat Castlebeaoh—with shout upon shout of delirious joy , as he entered "the House , " on his return from Paris , laden with the spoils of the French capital , when the hated Bocbbo . vs had been thrust back on the French people by the swords of Europe , subsidised by English money ; a party who helped that said Castlereaoh to pass the infamous SIX
ACTS—to suspend the Habeas Corpus Actto send the miscreants , Oliver , Castles , and Edwards among the people to promote insurrections and riots , that the dungeons might be filled , and the scaffold groan with its victims ; a party , who aided the "first gentleman in Europe" to persecute his wife , Caroline , to the deatli , and even into the grave ; a party , who yelled with savage delight , when Caxxixo , brutal Canxixg , made the cruel sufferings of a " Reformer" matter of jest and spoke of the old man of seventy , with his bowel ' s forced out of his body by prison usage , as "the
re-» craZandRnriuBEDOoDBK ; " a . party , who cheered and cheered again , when that same brutal and insolent Caxxixo declared Ids insolent intention to " oppose Parliamentary Reform to the last hour of his existence ; " a party , who had the managing of ham—the fingering of taxes , during , the " high and palmy days" of Bank Restriction and a nation ' s madness , and whose svtpercMoumess and haughty insolence knew no bounds ; a party , who hailed the Ikon Duke ' s declaration , that " Reform was not needed , for the existing constitution of things was the perfection of human wisdom , " with every
manifestation of extravagant joy—but who were soon forced by "the spirit of the age "—( let loose in Paris in July , 1830 , when the one branch , of the House of Boermtc was kicked off the thron ; , spite of the " swords of Europe "—we were not ihbn able to subsidise . 'J—to ask " what shall we do with the Duke" ? and he was not only obliged to get bullet proof window shutters , but glad to acquiesce in that very Reform he hadso imperiously attempted to sneer down : it was with materials such as these that Peel built up his " oreat Conservative partt , with which to resist the destructive tendency of the time ! And
yet , lack-a-day , he has been the GREAT DESTRUCTIVE of all ! By his Peel ' s Bill , he put a partial stop to the flights of the " rag-rooks "—that necessary portion of our " glorious" " ENVY of surrounding nations "—and in doing this he nearlvtfettroyed the nation itself ! He transferred tlieproperty of one into the bands of another ; he doubled the amount of taxation on the shoulders of the people ; he took from the landlord , the merchant , the manufacturer , and the producer , and gave to the Jew and the loan-monger ; he drove hundreds into insolvency , and caused consternation and dismay on
evciy liand ; he reduced us to " within forty-eight hours of kirtir , " so that with the whole of the " admiratiox of the world , " it was just " touch axd col" Byhi 3 Emancipation Act of 1829 , he desiroted tie Protestant . Church—that integral and "glorious ' portion of our heaven-devised system Since that " act of suicide , " one-fourth of the tithes in Ireland have been " appropriated" to the Irish landlords , as a bribe for them to collect the rest ; and a goodly number of the Bishops uave been " put under . " The penal laws have been repeated ; and the " dirtt little bot . " of the Ministry , —letter-opening andseal-forgingJEMMV , —hasout-spokenlyproclaimed
thatPROiEHTANT Ascendaxcy . isover ' . mother Church but waits the day of final dissolution . The hand of the destroyer is on her ! Her constitution is undermined—is gone ! We shall shortly have to lay her in the earth—and " the devil go with her . " By his Tariff , Peel has destroyed the " agricultural interest . " Where arethe " bold" and the " unyielding " count } ' members now f where the " firm phalanx of farmer ' s friends V Where are the farmers themselves ? Turning their glasses upside down , when Peel ' s health is proposed at their county clubs ! and endeavouring to procure the repeal of tke
-Vofe-taa , EVES AT THE HISK OP VIOLATING " NATIONAL faith" ! And by his last measure , the Maynooth Endowment Bill , Peel has destroyed his own party ! The great Conservative combination to resist "inovation" and " spoliation" is torn to fragmentsscattered to the winds ! Ah , Peel has been the DESTRUCTIVE , after all ! He talked long , and smoothly , about conserveing our Institutions : but his has been the reign of change ' . Not only has lie broken up his own party , but he has split-up , divided . and rendered of little avail the parties opposed to Mm . Hehas detached FoxMACLisfrom Rdssell—D'Israeu
from Lokd jobs Maxxers—Ferrasd from Milses—Crawford from Hume—and , 0 ! wonderful and more wonderful still , Cobdex from Bright ! Yes , Peel has been the skilful operator that has managed to cut in twain the ligature that bound the " no-political" Siamm-twins together , and enabled them for once to go into different lobbies . Talk of Destructive after that ; where is the man that dare advance a claim to the title ? Let him go hide his diminished head . Peel js the man !—tiic man for the day—toe
max for ruE times—the GREAT DESTRUCTIVE ! He is pulling down as fast as he can ? The system , under his hands , is breaking vp on every side . There will very soon be very little of the " ENVY of surrounding nations" left . The hand of the spoliator appears in every direction . Institution after institution is subjected , to his scrutiny and operation : limb after limb is lopped off : and soon there will be little left to bespeak the form , and extent , and power , of the "great has been !"
Does the reader doubt this ? Is lie sceptical ? Does he confine his attention to the present time alone , without contrasting that present with what has gone

before ? andean he . notseethe greatdifferencethat exists—or appreciate the changes thus brought about ? If so , he cannot see to where we are tending . He cannot see that society is all on the heave—all moving onward—all progressing towards " first principles" in political , social , and economical policy . If his view is thus narrow and contracted , he cannot see that prejudice is giving way—that insolent pretension is in disfavour—and that exch dveness is , — imperceptibly almost we admit , but still , —loosing its hold . The man of expansive philosoph y—he who can grasp the question as it appeared yesterday , and the day before , as well as to-day , tees aU thit : and he also sees a bright vista opening up for the future , promising light , and life , and love , and happiness to all that breathe .
Peel is a DESTRUCTIVE . That has been his mission . With a mind formed only to take advantage of the passing hour to palliate or stave-off the evils by which , as Minister , he is surrounded ; with cunning plausibility enough to work the game of partt so as to make the respective adherents of either side support his expedients to make THE THING last his time ; with no quality or faculty that constitutes true greatness— that causes you at once to bow to power op misd , to feel subject to intellectual grandeur—that infuses a conviction around that oexius is ruling ; with no power of construction , Peel could not be anything else but a DESTRUCTIVE ! To him it is given only to pxdl down : others will have to follow , and build up , when he has sufficiently cleared the way .
That he is proceeding rapidly in his vocation , we adduce the following testimony . It is from the Times—and is itself one of the " signs of the times . " Let the reader note it well , and then let him answer our questions " where are we going to ? " or " to what are we coming ? " If he is not able to spell C-H-A-R-T-E-R out of it , we shall take him to be a dull scholar ! Speaking of the debates on the " Maynooth Endowment Bill , " and on the / act that the " Representatives of the People" openly despise the petitions of those who elected them , the Times
says-Member after member gets up and claims credit for the sincerity and weight of his opinion , on the ground that it does the greatest violence to that of his constituents . It it the xpise boatt of our representatives that the men who sent them to Patl \ ame \ it abe fools . They omit to explain why the living deputy is entitled to more respect than the written petition , and how the multitude , though incompetent to pronounce , on a single Parliamentarp question , were , nevertheless , competent to select a Parliament man . Forced , as we are , to supply this omission , we cannot help feeling that tt « s « gentlemen furnish in tteiroum pewon * the strongest evidence t » theirmpacily of the tai-pwnders , or the fifty-pounders , who have returned them . It is hard to say which has done itself the most
credit , the reformed constituency , or the reformed House of Commons . It is hard to say whether there is less public spirit out of doors , or less independence in St . Stephen ' s . Beware , faithless representatives ! obsequious supporters . ' The Catholic Emancipation Act led to one eefokm . What if the Matnooth Act should result in anotbee 1 The members who make these displays occupy a singular position in the national mind . The / stand between two intelligent parties—the Premier and the people . The Premier knows what he is about—nobody more so . Ho knows the true character of hig measure as well as if it were his own child ; and doubtless rejoices nith a paternal instinct in the prospect of its legitimate consequences . On the other side , the people know ivhat ( hey are about .
They see the true import of the measure ; they know what is coining . One and all , they proclaim their honest and detp objection to propagate the creed of Some at the national expense , and their sober certainty tiiat a whole esta-Wis / iinentwifl content at that opening . VTcre it possibledid the forms of the constitution allow the constituency to operate directly on the Legislature , the result would be infaVMe . Sir R . Peel might as well stand iu the river at Gravesend and drive back the flowing tide . But midway in the political channel stands a fortunate barrier—the representatives of the people . To every use there is an abuse ; to every representation a misrepresentation . These gentlemen were made for one purpose and maybe used for another . Obvious circumstances
give the Premier the haft end of these useful instruments . In personal conflicts a weapon may always be considered the property of the stronger party . Sir Robert jdst now is STROsoEtt than the people , and has possession oi their weapon , viz ., their representatives ; WHO NO LONGER REPRESENT THE PEOPLE , but Mm . The people having lost the hold , feel the lash . There is a peculiar appropriateness in the figure . The representatives , professing , as they do , to know and feel nothing about the measure—neither entering into the intentions of the Premier , nor the prejudices of the people , passing the bill Tvitii wilful blindness and deafness , are in the same relation to the two intelligent parties between whom they stand as the aforesaid whip . They declare themselves a mere senseless lifdest weapon , jiisfnonoit . or tool .
Yes ! "Catholic Emancipation" did " lead to one reform : " and "the Maynooth Act" will RESULT ik another "—and a far more sweeping one ! Parties , as at present placed , cannot stand ! Polltical morality is at such a low ebb . in " the House " of PARTY , that one side answers to the description , "faithless representatives "—and a good portion of the other to that of " obsequious supporters . " Can that system stand ? Its own iniquity will weigh it into the earth ! "The people" do "know what they are about "—and the " result will be infallible . " " Sir Robert " may "just now be stronger than the people , BECAUSE the representatives represent not tUpcople , but HIM : " but the people will have
representatives of their own : and then no man will be " stronger" than the people ! To that end , the rimes lias in somewise contributed : and his pointing out the mode of counteracting Sir Robert Peel ' s strength , shews the way in which the wind has set . May it soon blow us to the Char ter—as the beginning of that state of things which shall secure to the producer Ms full share of the fruits of his industry !

"PHYSICAL FORCE" REPEALERS . Yes , it is true ! the Repealers are talking of " Physical Force ! " At the last meeting of the Association in the Conciliation Hall there was some furious mouthing—ostensibly in answer to some unwarrantable and empty bluster of Mr . Babing ton Macaulat ' s , in his speech on Mr . Ward ' s motion on the Maynouth grant . The moutlting of the one was made the peg wlxereoa to hang the mouthing of the other . And thus both parties , —the Whig supporter of the Tory- « Mi « Ziatory policy on the one hand , and the " moral force" " never-shed-one-drop-of-human blood" spouter in Conciliation Hall on the other , have been talking of fighting : the one to preserve the Umox at all hazards , and the other to intimate to the boastful Scot that the Irish are determined on
Repeal ; and that the chances are , if it comes to a fig ht , that the English and the Scotch will , in such case , conic off only second best ! On Monday last Mr . Smith O'Brien- thus held forth : — He took for hig text the recent strong remarks of Mr . Macaulay in reference to the question of repeal . That gentleman , exclaimed Mr . O'Brien , declared iu the strong , est manner , that the people of England were firmly determined to maintain the union under thu very worst dangers that could threaten them , ne ( Mr . O'Brien ) could declare with uo less firmness the determination of the people of Ireland to have a Parliament in Dublin . [ Here the meeting rose ai \ d shouted lustily for several minutes
. ] The language of Mr . Macaulay almost tempted him to use the language of defiance ! ( Renewed cheers . ) He fraukl y confessed that it tempted him to tell the English people if they put the issue—not upon the rights of both countries , but upon their strength , the union coidd not be sustained by the whole physical row sa of England . ( Cheers . ) But lie would not be tempted by that rash insulting boast to swerve from the policy which they had marked out for themselves—uaniel v , connection with England by the golden links of the * Crown—but thoroughly independent of the British Parliament ( hear ) . He told Mr . Macaulay lie would act wisely to restrain bis bluster ; and he told him that no sentiments ever uttered in that hall were more idle than that empty bluster of his . Ho told him , if the contingencies which ' hc mentioned in his speech were to happen , it would then be too
late—n wocid be pebfecixt idle to negocute ( cheers ) . If 50 , 000 Frenchmen were drawn up on their shore , ready to be conveyed across the Channel in steam-vessels—he told Mr . Macaulay the question of repeal uvuld be easily settled ( cheers ) . If the American fleet were ready to carry regiments of Irish emigrants to the defence of their nativeland-f / t /« e Jrtjfc soldiers in On British army , forming at they did . Mly one-third of the entire of that force , were to refvte to shed the blood of their fellow-countrymen—if one MILHOS Of NATIVES OF IBELAKD RESIDENT IN ENGLAND AND Scotland besolved to co-opeiiate with the people of Ireland—if such a consummation as Mr . Macaulav contemplated were to take place—the British empire would be broken up , and thenceforward the history of Ireland would be written as a separate and independent nation . ( Protracted loud cheers . )
There ! let the reader take wind—and then let him remember that it is a speech delivered in Conciliation Hall , by one of the " moral force" anti" physical force" leaders , that he has been reading

j ltj . 1 KJ M . J . X . X . M It'is not-rrom a Chartist manufactory ; " "It'ia direct / "bran spanking new , " from the Royal-Royal-Loyal" thrue-cheers-for-Peel-and-Graham" Association itself ! Let him remember this fact ; and thenlet him tax his memory as to the former doing ? of this same Royal Loyal set ! and give proper vent to the feelingB thus created . In reference to this part of the subject , we have received a letter , penned by one from whom our readers will be delighted to hear . For some time the Dublin Chartists have been "laying on their oars . " Though silent however , they have not been
unconcerned spectators , nor unobservant of passing events , 'f hey have been " biding their time ; " and now the time is come , when they arc again constrained to speak out . Here is their first manifesto , written by our old favourite and firm friend , Patrick 0 'Hiaqins . To the recommendations and advisings in it , we urge special attention . If the English people adopt the course therein pointed out , the measure of justice to all , for which they have so earnestly and so perseveringly struggled , will soon be obtained . But if they adopt the other
course ; if they allow the expedient of the moment to occupy general public attention ; if a crotchet is allowed to be launched on the wave of public opinion , all the "head-way" that they have hitherto gained will be lost—all that they have hitherto done will be undone;—and they will , after running a course which is sure to end in bitter disappointment , have to begin again , —not where they may leave off now , but where they had to begin at first ! It therefore behoves them to be alive to the impending dangerand determined to " withstand all temptation !"
In this spirit we commend to the attention of the working people of England the following address from one whom they have had cause of honour , because he has evev proved himself a friend—and a wise friend too : — Chartists of Great Britain . — Miracles will never cease ! JuBt read Mr . Wm . Smith O'Brien ' s empty bombastic threat , in reply to Mr . Macaulay ' s Bpeech on the Maynooth bribe . This descendant ot the great Bryan Boroiiime , and of the renegade Thomokd , says , in his last speech , that he will "fight " for Repeal ! The repvtdiator of " physical force ; " the
denouncer of Chartism , will " lead" the Irish dupes to " slaughter" ! Those who refused the moral , the peaceful , the honest , the hearty , the sincere co-operation of 3 , 500 , 000 Chartists , for the attainment of their just rights—rights common to the people of both countries , are now about to solicit the aid of the "Torch and Dagger Chartists" ! You were ignominiousl y kicked eut of the Repeal ranks . Your money was returned . A Catholic priest at Manchester boasted , in a letter to the Repeal Association , that " he had had an unfortunate wight expelled from the Repeal ranks , because he had had
the temerity to accept of Chartist subscriptions to the Repeal fund . " You sent missionaries of peace here in 1839 , offering your co-operation to effect a peaceful , legal , and constitutional repeal of the legislative union , between Great Britain and Ireland . They were beaten and ill-used by the Irish Repealers , the staff of O'Connell . Their blood was shed in Henry-street , in Dublin , by the " peaceful" followers of the " Liberator "—for which those followers received Aw thanks , and the thanks of the Irish Executive ! Those who led the attack upon the Chartist missionary have since got snug births under the
Whig Government , —the sworn enemies of Repeal , — with the exception of " dear Rat , " whose son has got a place in the Custom-House . The " Liberator , " who has a vow registered in heaven , " never to shed , or sanction the shedding , of one drop of human blood , in the pursuit of any object , no matter how desirable , " threatened , at a dinner in the county of Tipperary , " t » bring over an army of 500 , 000 Irishmen" to help the Whigs—the enemies of Repeal—to cm * your throats , unless you would cease agitating for Repeal ! Let there be no mistake
about this : because the Charter includes Domesho Legislation' ; and all Chartists are Repealers . But your throats were to be cut by Irish Repealers , because you would not be , like themselves , poor , betrayed , deluded-Whig dupes . ' The same " Liuerator "—who , " blessed be God , " " never shed one drop of human blood , " thanked God . -publicly , ostentatiously , and blasphemously , —for having , by special interposition , enabled " Serjeant Daly and a handful of Irish Catholic recruits to shoot down and shed the blood of English' Protestants at Newport in Wales . "
Well , after all , and bad as you ate , you . are now about to be courted by the Repeal neophyte , Mr . W . S . O'Brien , to join the Repealers , to help them to FIGHT the myrmidons about to be led on by the renowned Maoauut ' . . There is so much /« n , real fun , in this Whig eham-battle that I can scarcely be serious . The fact and truth is , the Repeal-Whig-Irish-patriots are " as mad as the divil" because their party have not the . merit of bribiko the Irish Catholic clergy into silence , through the medium of the endowment of Maynooth , and those other little endowments which , those far-seeing gentry anticipate , and which are sure to follow .
These political traders know that you are in earnest ; that you are now , and ever have been , ready and will , ing to help your poor Irish brethren toobtain their just rights ; and they have the vanity to think that by eloquent harangues , and empty , but flowery , bom bast , they can make you believe that they are pro moting your interests , while it is their own they are seeking . Having succeeded , beyond their most sanguine expectations , in duping , cheating , and plunder ing ray poor countrymen out of their pence and their senses , they now purpose trying a similar experiment upon you . I
Now , then , after all the injuries you have received at the hands . of these soi dhant patriots ; after all the brave , honest fellows whom they have helped to keep in prison , until some of them—Clayton , Hoi . berry , and others—died there ; what think you of that scheme ? I know that your love of right is so firmly iked within your souls , that you are , to a man ready to forgive all the wrongs inflicted on you , on the condition that Mr . W . S . O'Brien , the "
Liberator , " and all the rest of them will unhesitatingl y and at once make the six points op the People ' s Charter the basis of Repeal . Let them evince contrition b y a manly and honest adoption of tho Charter , " name and all , " and we will join them for a Repeal ! Do you agree to this ? If so , let your response reverberate from one end of the empire to the other . Let me be answered by 3 , 500 , 000 of my brethren . The Charter and Rk .
peal—and no delusion ! I ' ou are sun to be apimled to ; but budge not an inch , unless the People ' s Charter , " name and all , " be adopted by my countrymen . When the Irish Universal Suffrage Association suspended , for a time , their meetings , they were strongly impressed with the opinion , the certainty , that the O'Co . vnellites would come to this : that the Repealers would find themselves weak and powerless , while opposed to their truo friends , the Chartists . It is now obvious that we judged rigbtly . Patrick O'IIiogins . Dublin , April 20 tU , 1845 .

Sir Jas . Gba < um , awd "Absolution" from Conciliation Hall . —The Belfast Vindicator , in commenting on the late debato on the "Maynooth grant , " says : "We are not so content with Mr . Sltuil ' s voluntary promisv , that Sir James Graham would receive a cordial reception in Ireland . We hare a profouud esteem for Mr . Sheil . He is one of tho ornaments of our country a man of superior genius and very great acquirements , who has distinguished himself in every walk of literature , and is among the first in the first of all arts—the divino art of oratory . He is indeed an honour and an ornament ; but he stepped beyond his province when he uttdertook , on the part of tho Irish people , to promise a warm or cordial reception to Sir J ames G r : i-
Uam , W& sincerely hopo that Sir James will never put his defiling foot on any shore , to which he will not be Mowed by his Poor Law fame and letter-opening notoriety . It would not he wise , or at all correct , to call Sir James Graham the murderer of the Bandicvas , and other chivalrous Italians , who , revisiting tlic ' iv native land , were met by a hangman , SUrro , set upon them by tho English Seoretary . But the accident oi their legal execution ought to pursue the soul of the letter-opener from shore to shore , like a ghost ; it ou ; , 'li t to prepare for him a reception , not ' cordial , ' as Mr . Sheil promises , but warm beyond conception . And should the death of the Bandieras be forgotten by our chivalrous people—should the ruinof these young ami
gallant spirits , which recal our own Lord Edward to our memory , be unheeded by this land—perhaps Mary Furley—the persecuted Mary Furley—the viciim of a beastly law , and a more Secretary , will liu recent enough t « stimulate our ' cordiality . ' ICo , indeed , Mr . Sheil ; the people are not going to halloo in the train of a man for telling one more falsehoodthe falsehood of the recreant schoolboy , that lie was sorry for what he did . Come here yourself ; if you please , the follower of the Queen , and we shall welcome splendid genius and private integrity ; but throw no mantles , De they worked with all the brilliant colourings of your perfect art , over him whom we scorn , because we are patriots—whom we hate , because wo are men .

Upon being further questioned , she said she had attempted to destroy herself through being in great want . The constable removed her to the pollca station . Black Ilorsc-court . Fleet-street .
Suicidk m the Roman Catholic Bishop or Berry . —By private letters received in town , we learn that Dr . M'Loughlin , the Roman Catholic Bishop of Deny , died on Sunday from the effect of a wound which he inflicted on his throat with a razor on the previous Wednesday . The distressing fact was kept quite secret in Deny for two or three days by his relatives , who were led to think by the medical man iu attendance upon him that the wound would not prove mortal . It was said Dr . M'Loughlin was tin a low state of mind for some time ; but his friends never apprehended that he would resort to violence upon himself .
The Hampstead Murder . —Extraordinary Self . Accusation and Apprehension of tiik Self-Accused Murderehof Mr . DELARUE .-Great interest wa » created throughout the metropolis on Thursday last by a report that a man had surrendered to the police doclaring himself to be the murderer of the late Mr . Delayue , at Hampstead , and that the condemned criminal , Thomas Henry Hooker , was innocent of the crime imputed to him . This statement proved to be erroneous with respect to that portion of the rumour which declared the self-accused party voluntarily to have surrendered himself to the police . It is true that a man was yesterday apprehended by the police , upon evidence which he had himself supplied under the following circumstances . It is a regulation in
Newgate , after a prisoner is condemned , that ail letters addressed to him should be opened by the governoy , in order to prevent the possibility of anything being conveyed to him , by which he might be enabled to destroy life . A few days since a letter arrived . at Newgate , addressed tothe eondemned criminal , T . H . Hocker , and , in accordance with the above regulation , it was opened by Mr . Cope , the governor . To the astonishment of Mr . Cope , he found that the letter contained a declaration to the culprit . that he should not suffer the penalty of the law on Monday next , for that he ( the writer ) was really the murderer of Mr Delarue , and that the blood of his victim was both night and day before his eyes , rendering lus mind in such a state that he could no longer conceal his guilt .
The letter , at great length , proceeded to detail the horrible stvugglcs of the murdered inau in the llaverstock field , and concluded by assuring Hocker that it was his intention to give himself up in time enough to save him . No sooner had the governor read this letter , than he communicated with the sheriffs , and a clue having been obtained by the City police to the writer , they have for some days been iu iparch of him , and yesterday afternoon his apprchen . sion was effected , and he was at once conveyed to the station-house in Black Ilorsc-court , Fleet-street . On the prisoner ' s arrival at the station-house Sherifls Hunter and Sidney were sent for , and proceeded to examine him upon the subject . He » ave his name as William Almar . He admitted " the
authorshi p of the letter , which the reporter was further informed went on to recapitulate the many pleasant hours lie ( Almar ) had spent with Hocker at the Kings and Key public-house in Fleetstreet , and added that if he did not save him nt least he would hang by his side . In the course of his examination by the Sheriffs , the prisoner , who is stated to be of a very foppish exterior , continued to nib his hat about in a ver y theatrical manner , and m reply to questions put to him , he declared that lie knew nothing at all about Hocker , and he could not account tbv the strange impulse which induced him to write the letter making such a false accusation against himself . He was ultimately removed by direction of the sheriffs , from the Black Horsecourt station to the police station on Garlick-hill , on account of its being more adjacent to the Mansion House . Almar was liere visited by Mr . Daniel Whittle Harvey , the City police commissioner , and k Mr .
Cope , to whom he conducted himself in a similar manner to his conduct before the sheriffs . He , how-• ver , persisted in his previous statement that he had written the letter npon the impulse ol" the moment , but what induced him to do so he could not tell , ilic sensation caused by the affair was such that most of the police-stations were literally besieged by persons anxious to learn if there was any foundation for the report . Although much doubt \* thrown upon the fact of the prisoner being in any way concerned in the murder , still it was deemed necessary to mace him in a cell vith two policemen , where lie will remain till this morning , when lie will be taken before the Lord Mayor . It is stated that shortly attey the apprehension of Aliuar information ot the circumstance was forwarded to the Secretary of State , Sir James Graham , but the reserve of the police on these occasions renders it impossible to state whether it has resulted in any order reverting the condemned criminal Hocker .
Iiie Hampstead Murder . —Friday . —Allen Kailmark , a young man , was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor , charged with having been concerned with Hocker in murdering Air . D ,: hruc . It appeared from the evidence that several letters hnd been recently addressed to Hoeker , purporting to Mime from a person who bad assisted him in the murder . Means were taken to discover the writer , and the prisoner waa arrested on Thursday night at the King and Keys , Fleet-street , while in the act of penning another epistle to Hocker . The prisoner it appears has been a teacher in a school . He stated to the Lord Mayor that he was the writer of those letters—that there was no foundation fov the statements made m them—that he was not acquainted with cither 1 locker
or JJclavue , and that he had never been to Hampstead until after the murder . —The prisoner ' s brother , who was in attendance , said he considered this was merely a foolish attempt ou the part of the prisoner to obtain notoriety . —The letters , some of which were signed " J . Allen , " were then put in and read . It was evident that the writer wished it to to ima gnictl that he iumsclt wns the murderer —The prisoner said there was no truth in them , and that weakness ol mind alone had induced him to write them -It appeared that he had been subject to fits . —The Lord Mayor considered the whole as merely a foolish treak , but directed the prisoner to be tak ' en to Marvlebone the court from which Ilocker had been committed where any proofs of the prisoner ' s mental imbecility could be produced .
