Distressing Accident . —A few days ago Mr . J . Lewis , the coroner for the " city of Koche&ter , lieid an inquest on the body of Edward Chidley , a verv
lutciitgent Doy , ten years of age , who lost his Jife on board the steam-boat Lily , on Saturday Jast , fay falling into the river . It appears that the deeeased was with his father on board on Saturday last as the boat was on Its passage to meet the down train of the Rochester and Graycscnd Railway , at half-past four o ' clock p . m ., and on the boat aniving in Limehouscreaeh , the deceased was observed 'iy the helmsman to take up the bucket and imiuediuix'iy drop it into the water as lie was standing on the siarbiard side , and , before the helmsman could call out , the lad was overboard ; the steamer at the same time was going at the rate of ten miles an hour . The boat was almost immediately stopped , aud the deceased and the ] i
bucket rose to the surface on the larboaid side , both having passed . under the vessel ; and the hoy wa 9 seen struggling at the top of the water for about five minutes , when he sank . The party on board could render no assistance , as there was neither a boat-hook nor rope on board ; and , although the accident occurred opposite to one of hor Majesty ' s ships in ordinary , the party in charge could render no assistance , not being provided with a boat . The body was picked up on Sunday morning last , about eleven o ' clock , near to the spot where the deceased lost his life . The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death , with arecommendation to the owners of the boats to provide thiug 3 necessary for the preservation of life in case of accidents . In this case , if a boat-hook hid been on board , the life of the boy would Lave been saved , j ] i ] i ] < 1 i l , ' i i 1

THE CRISIS . Last week , when the hope of Whiggery was strong , we announced the difficulty that Lord John Russell would experience in his attempt to re-model a pure Whig administration eut of the shattered fragments of the old wreck . We did not base our opinion upon the individual squabbles against whioh , itanpears . the noble lord could not successfully contend . We drew oar conclusions from the fact that he was ignorant of
the present state of public opinion , and that he was incapable of selecting materials from his whole stock of Whiggery capable of representing the improved niind of the country , or able to carry out the statesman-like policy of Sir Robert Peel . We believe that the League itself rather anticipated defeat than victory from the noble lords appointment ; and hence , while there is no lack of free trade aidour , there has been but slight exultation in the temporary triumph of the OCCASIONAL Whig Government .
We presume that the" best informed saw , at the instant , that the restoration of the Whigs to power was the very calamity which could arrest the anticipated triumph of free trade—in fact that it would have been , as it were , a second blight . That Peel would have given them precisely that amount of support that would have damned them , while he would have used them to justify his own altered policy , and as FOES that may one day be converted into
FRIENDS . Upon the other hand , Lord John Russkll ' s conversion having been seized as a triumph by the League , and a vacancy occurring in the West Riding of Yorkshire , where they hope to test the strength of their new policy , forbid any expression of sorrow for the weakness that such an unexpected calamity as the recall of the Whigs had inflicted upon the question of free trade , and hence we find the triumph marked by the most scanty amount of party exultation possible .
We believe that the free « traders consider their position materially strengthened by the command of their forces being transferred to Sir Robekt Pjsel , while we cannot shut our eyes to the fact , that the retreat of Russell may justify a more moderate policy in a leader who has been forced into power by the weakness of his adversary , than he would , have been justified in pursuing as the LIEUTENANT of Lord John . We cannot presume ( notwithstanding the attempted solution of the Times' conundrum , whereby it is attempted to bu shown that the 20 th of January is early in January , and that the studied silence of Sir Robert Peel is as smnificantaa the nodof JjOltD
BUllLLIGH ) ,. any reasonable grounds upon which we can anticipate Sir Robert Peel ' s support of the whole hog principle . Nay , more ; we aver that Sir Robert Peel and the Whigs In the House of Commons , and the Duke of Wellington and the confiding in the House of Lords , will fail in the attempt to cany a total repeal of the Com Laws . What we anticipate , thon , is defeat , after a vigorous struggle in the lower house , a dissolution of Par ] iainent , and toleration , if not moitation , for such an exhibition of popular feeling—such a manifestation' from without , as willleave no alternative to the two Houses but that of once more humbly begging pardon , ami knuckling down to HIS MAJESTY THE MOB .
This is the boldest policy that we expect from Sir Robert Peeii , but we are not sanguine enough to believe that he will propose the total repeal at onco In the latter case how , with the pressure from withl out , deal with a new sliding soalo , gradually remitting a portion of a emnll fixed duty , and stopping at some little figure , such as 2 s ., which would mark the triumph of the baby aristocracy , by adding just 2 s . per quarter to what the price of corn would have been , if regulated by a total repeal . What we have so o . ' ten avered we now repeat , that with all the ingenuity and aptness for business which distinguishes
Su Robert Peel , Sir James Gcaiiam , and Mi . Glaustose , they would not , within the twenty-five or thirty days interval between their recal ai . d the meeting of Parliament , be able to produce such an altered tariff as would be considered a safe adjustment for the settlement of ao large a question—so old , so ramified , and so cherished an abuse . The question office trade is but the keystone of the arch of protection ; once remove it , and the arch tumbles down . We know that the glib philosophers , who so disinterestedly agitata the question upoa the grounds of philanthropy , have fascinating arguments for all whose interests are likely to be siffacted by the change . To the starving operative ' they kindly say , " Behold the cheap bread
of Poland , if your cruel taskmasters will only allow you to exchange your free labour for it ; while , to the farmer , they would balance inability to meet existing contracts ; and the landlord ' s disinclination to reduce rents , by the fascinating prospects of diminished poor rats 3 , diminished county rates , aud the reduced price of all those articles of life upon which , at present , they pay a tax regulated by the Corn Laws . However , if free trade should ever arrive at the Russkll point , of clothing and all other articles as wel ) as food , we should be glad to know what , without a cautious adjustment , is to become of those' arti 5 cers and tradesmen who have paid the protection fee for their knowledge , and who , if the flood-gates opened , would be- swept , by the first flood , into the general abyss of pauperism .
What will become of bootmakers , shoemakers , ribbonniakeis , gloveinakers , and all those who have yet some protection against foreign competition ? Will they not become an additional burthen upon the poor-rates , unless the new avenues to trade shall be so wide that ail may walk in them without the inconvenience of jostling , -or the dread of knocking their heads together ?

THE DISTRESSED CAPATALISTS , AND THRIVING OPERATIVES . Tue highly-lauded resolutions of the bankers , merchants , and others engaged in mercantile pursuits in London , as well as the cuckoo-cry that restriction paralyses trade , and so forth , will bear but sorry contrast with that picture of distress which we are about to present to the reader . Throughout the long and tiresome agitation for a repeal of the Corn Laws , we have preserved a manly , consistent , and dignified position . While the philanthropists and
humanity-mongers were making merchandize of the misfortunes and sufferings of thoir slaves , and urging their condition as arguments for the enforcement and recognition of their own principles , we drew a faithful picture of the condition of the respective classes . We marvelled that , as masters , men should be tyrants ; and that , as agitators ; they should struggle for such laws as would COMPEL THEM TO DO JUSTICE . We directed attention to the gorgeous mansions arid princely fortunes amassed by the unrestricted use of machinery , even under all the disadvantages which appear so much to cripple industry and limit trade .
If we could hare found but a few honourable exceptions struggling against wholesale , wrong , being honest amongst thieves , humane amongst oppressors , clement amongst tyrants , and Christians amongst Infidels , we should have looked to their struggle for altered laws as a means of making the exception the rule . The labouring classes , as MivWest weii observed , have turned the Chartist agitation to the profitable purpose of opening up the whole question of labour and capital . THEY LOOK UPON CAPITAL AS THE CHILD , AND LABOUR AS THE PARENT ; words that should never be forgotten , words that should be printed in letters of gold , framed and hung up in every poor man ' s house . The child has revolted , not only against natural feelings and human laws , but against God ' s holy
word" Honour fcby father and mother . " If the agitation for the Charter has presented this all-important question in an altered phase , it has also led to the canvas , investigation , and criticism of tho conduct of the child , and the question has been asked , how has the child discharged its duties to its parent ? Has it fostered the hand that reared and protected it ? Has it comforted the oftapring that has been the author of all its grandeurthe founder of all its greatness ; or has it taken advantage of the injustice of human laws to revolt aiainst God and its parent ? Labour , in advocating
its own cause , has shown that those who would new serve their own purpose by enlisting its co-operation , have never lost an opportunity of harshly administering the law , and of unjustly using the power of capital . In discussing the effect of restrictions upon trade , Belf-interest is veiled , while the workman's good . icss , and tenderness for him , is pompously paraded in the foreground . Wo have always looked with suspicion upon the powerful wealthy , contending for the restoration of those rights which they
themselves had robbad from the poor . We have seen the way , if there was the will , WITHOUT LAW , to do justice to the oppressed ; but we have never seen that justice done ; while glib philosophers , while interested manufacture j , , speculating merchants , and brainless shopkeepers , have' been shouting free trade as a means of benefiting their respective orders , and themselves individually , we have quoted the simple words of tlio simple " Yovkshira prophet , " - " THAT ALL THE STUFF 'BE THE WURLD , WOR MADE FOR ALL 'EE FOLK
IN 'EE WURLD , " Upon this sound sense we have written and spoken volumes . Upon these words of wisdom we hayejtiased the principle of equitable distribution ; and' now we come to apply it to the most recent case that has been presented for illustration . On Tuesday last there was a gathering of the DISTRESSED AND TOILWORN CAPITALISTS , to take their present hard case into consideration , and to devise means for raising a pauper fund for their relief . At tins meeting over £ 00 , 000 was subscribed by the paupers , and £ 23 . 000 of it was subscribed by as many
INDIVIDUALS GIVING £ i , 00 & each . Monstrous ! horrible !! frightful !!! When have they given that amount to arrest famine , feed tho hungry , aud clothe the naked ; aud why do they offer it now as a secondary mode of relief , when the application of it to the primary purpose would have the more generous effect ? Do they fear the famine that they have created ? for if laws are just , and if they were humane . ' the blight that stints the crop would not fall solely upon him whose industry produced it . But
more ; where did they get it ? How do they contrive , after their many bubble speculations , of this very bubbling year , to abstract so much more from the profits upon labour ? Or how comes it to pass that , notwithstanding the blighting influence of protection , thay have been able to amass fortunes , to boast of being able to pay off the national debt , of living lumptuously , buying land , speculating in everything that offers 4 per cent ., and yet have this PROTECTION FUND to fallback upon .
Will not the working men now believe that restriction and distribution must constitute a portion of the elements of any adjustment that is likely to bo satisfactory ; and will they not ask what danger of famiue the League stands in , when they havo already amassed enough to live upon the dearest dainties and most expensive luxuries , while one in every ten ot the slave class luxuriates on workhouse fare , in a prison dress , on this , our Saviour ' s birth-day . Nature is out of joint . All the evil propensities of man have warred against the common feelings of humanity , and syBtem has taken the place of nature .
Will not this SIXTY THOUSAND POUNDS , that has been collected in a few' minutes for the purpose of benefitting the workisg classes , open their eyes to , and justify their adherence to , such nobleminded and disinterested patrio s ? Or is there a chance that they should discover that their enemies are fighting the battle of self-interest with the pence lashed from labour ' s sie ' e . If one circum stance more than another could have made the people more sceptical as to the real intentions of the League it is the fact of cruel masters , -with famine threaten ' ing , work scarce , and poor-hoises full , being able to subscribe £ 60 , 000 , while those who made it HAVE
NOT SIXTY THOUSAND PENCE . There is another curious document presented to as at the same time , namely the balance-sheet of the League , and by this we find that the gentlemen have turned the mercantile term " sundries" to profitable account . Under this head we find £ 1 , 500 , or nearly £ 30 a-week charged , while the expense of lecturers has amounted to oyer 42 , 300 . The only comment that we shall oiler upoii this branch of the * subject is , ontrnst it with the poor means at the disposal of '

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE AND CHARTIST CONVENTION . Mr . Pkesideni Polk has spun such a tarnation long yarn , we find ourselves unable to lay it in a d igested form before our readers this week . We have given as much , however , of the important features of this important document as will enable the reader to judge of its MEANING . The question of the Oregon stands precisely where it was , giving to the Briti-h Government a kind of option , not as to whether the territory in dispute shall be ceded now , but whether it shall still be perpetuated , as a nest egg , for plenipotentiaries and future conference . The British
Government , however , will very probably see , that every year ' s delay will tend to strengthen the protentions of the growing Republic , while the same causes may tend to cripple England ' s resources in the same direction , or , which is the same , to make it more difficult to bring those resources into action . Upon the whole the decision of the British Cabinet upon the Oregon question will much depend upon the use that Sir Robert Peel may make of it as the terror or the hope of the landed aristocracy If he can make the question of war , at one and the same time , 'palatable to tho manufacturing class , and
profitable to the landlord class , he would be the vcrj man to send a fleet to Sandt Hook , with a steamer freighted with a Plenipotentiary who understood that'it . was merely intended as a diversion to attract domestic attention , while the FREK TRADE TRICK was being done at home . We do not quarrel with this policy ; but , on the contrary , we admire it ; and only regret that a wise man should be thus compelled to play the child with children , the fool with f ' oo's . Upon the whole the Oregon question does not appear to us as likely to constitute the casus belli between Republican America and Monarchical Europe . The policy of non-intervention , laid down by President Moxko , and now prominently enforced by Mr .
President Polk , is the grand feature of his Message . It is the first blow : at tho policy relied upon by Louis Philippe for sustaining thcri *! e of legitimacy against the growing demand for republicanism . Mr . Polk . in his manly dealing with this most important of c'l subjects , reminds us of the anecdote of a poor Irialiman who was to be sentenced to d « ath for shoepstealing , and when told' by the turnkey , in Irish , that the judge ( Lord Norbury , of course , ) wished to know what he had to say why sentence of death'should not be passed upon him , as a jury of his COUNTRYMEN had found him guilty , he replied , "By Jasus , they may say what they like , but I WON'T ABIDE BY IT . " Now , Mr . President
Polk nas told the great powers of Europe , in just as unmistakable language , that they may say what theylike , but America won't abide by it . . We know of no policy more pre-eminently calculated to disturb that heretofore- well-managed tranquillity by which the King of the French has been sometimes able to govern , using the holy alliance as his administration pro tern ' .- This declaration of Mr . Pole ' s puts the league of European kings and queens , and ministers too , in " a tarnation fix ; " in fact , we now see no escape bat in tha humbling of tho proud spirit ' of democracy , IF THEY CAN DO IT .
The question , as wo have often predicted , has really resolved into that , whether kings shall rei ^ ii and rule , or RULE AND REIGN ; whether tlwy shall reign by right divine , and rule as they please ; or whether they shall rei ^ n because they reign justly . Upon the question of manufactures Mr . ' Polk js equally clear and explicit . He uses the young mind of the Republic to grapple with the moustei ( machinery ) before it , because too strong for resistance . He boldly declares in favour of the labourer , and proposes an wi valorem duty in preference to the sliding scale . He shows that the operation of the
present tariff is , in all articles of luxury used by the rich , cheap ; and articles of necessity , used by the pcor , dear : and to rectify this , he proposes an ad valorem duty , the principle which we have always advocated with reference to taxation . Upon the whole , the President's . Message may be taken as , the first declaration of American independence . As the first recognition of thecmbodied strength of the Republic , and as the assurance that the people are aware of it ; while the great and mighty questions involved in it are not treated with that polits ciution which a suspicious Minister would use , but are boldly affirmed with that confidence that national co-operation , national strength , and national patriotism warrants .
It is a glorious Message , and the more so , because the policy of the President is in exact keeping with the Bolicy of the Chartist Convention , that recommends centralisation of party strength , and denies the right of factious intervention . There are more sacks upon the mill , and we fear that our poor friend , Sir RoncjiT , for whoso restoration to power we fuel thankful , will have enough to do , if he is able to satisfy the landlords , that a war price for wheat is preferable to his slidiug scale ; and to convince the manufacturers that the interest of the cotton growers of the Southern States , in case of war , wi . 'l weigh more heavy in the scale than their patriotism . Upon the whole , his work is cut out , — " England expects that every man will do his duty , "
