      IL Kadford , MixcHESTEa . —Mr . Radford' s letter did not reach Mr . O'Connor until it was too Lite to answer it , as he was out of toirn . Franc Smhit . —We give the following letter just as it came , and desire all to go and do likewise : — Sunday morning . Dear Sk . —I have this moment read your letter , and before taking breakfast , I conceited it to be my bounden duty to enclose you my small mite ( os . ) towards defraying the late expenses , and for the purpose of carrying on the war , and at the same time to tender you my thanks as an individual , and as a member of the Chartist body , for your generosity in advancing money on our behalf , As soon as our small body meet , I shall endeavour to bring it before them , but like most of our fiiends , they are ground to the dusS by the class to which I have the honour to belon ? . Dear = ir T remain , yours truly , " RoBHtT Kidd . Feargns O'Connor , Esq .

      Sons Wabd , Bakssht . —Thanks for his honest letter . We never entertained the slightest doubt of the patriotism of the Barnsley men . We rejoice to hew of their nervous anxiety relative to onr dear friend and brother Chartist , O'ffiggins , and beg to assure them , that althongh not at all nervous , we are not the less anxious . J . L , Bcwrasr . —Yes . The amount allowed for building a cottage on a four-acre farm , would more than cover the expense ef one built upon Hr . O'Connor ' s plan . Ma . O'Cossok's promised work upon agriculture trill be bound by itself , and will contain explanations of the former work , as well on a f firming directory for the instruction of small farmers . We are induced to give tiis notice , because some parties havemade application to know if ihey shall defer purchasing the work until completed . The work on Small Farms IS NOW

      COMPLETED . riCEYAjccE , Boltos- . —We thank him for the newspaper , the finding of the inquest -was punished in last week ' s Star , and the admirable reply to the Jackass who wrote upon the land project , being confined t » the points in Mr . Ass ' s letter , aad not wishing to waste our space ujHm such rubbish , the answer to it would be out oJ place . Z . Z . —If he should be balloted for the militia he can procure a substitute slave for £ 3 . SL S . E . —Old Buftery must have known we were too folly occupied to give opinions upon cases which would take half the week to advise upon . It is not fair to expect answers to correspondents upon matters of heavy legal responsibility .

      Maeti . n Jcde . —Again we have to thank this worthy vatchman for iis services . "We have received his letter aud-the paper , but who would ever think of notiring the foul puff that comes from poor Laridns , a mere pimple upon the rotten rump ef putrid Whigjjery . However , if it is any satisfaction to ths Chartists of Newcastle to have the creature gibbeted , we promise them the treat before many weeks . Seth Xokbk . —We thank him for his letter , while he must see the impossibility of rc-opening the subject to which it refers . Sn > Agats , Iosd Johjj . —We thank our poetic friends for their effusions , hut their muse was rather tardy in responding to our call , as poor lord Jol . n is not UUelj even to g « into the auction-room again . 3 £ a . Jons Cook , Upper Onvell-street , Ipswich , has made arrangements to supply the Northern Star on the Saturday morning . The L * xd , Itswjch . —Amsetms will be held on this all .

      absorbing subject , at the Castle Inn , Lower Grwellstreef , on Sunday ( to-morrow ) evening . ' C . B . A . —The lines are respectfully declined . Edwabd Fbeeb , Gretton , near Shaw , Rockiusham North , returns his thanks to the kind friend who has occasionally sent him the Xorihern Star . He respectfully requests a continuance of the favour . A Woskisg Mechanic , Manchester , commenting on the tyranny of the Liverpool employers towards the mechanics of that town , reminds the aggrieved workmen that they have themselves principally to blame for

      their present slavery . The mechanics , engineers , ic . of Liverpool , were invited to join the society established on the 1 st of November last , at Manchester , for flu purpose of counteracting the efforts of the " Masters Protective Society , " to which invitation they never responded . Our correspondent severely denounces what he calls « the aristocratical spirit of the Liverpool mechanics , " and tells them that if they desire the sympathy of the public , they must prove themselves worthy of that sympathy , by uniting with their fellow working men for the natianal protection of their order .

      &OSE CCKET FOB THE DCKE OF XOKFOLK . —The follOWing article appears in the Debate : —Everybody knows the old saying , "Tons n ' avez pas de pain ? JJh Men : nuagez de la ¦ brioche ! " An illustrious peer in England has just uttered a naivete in serious mood of nearly 4 he same character , which has afforded a topic for the entire English press . At an agricultural meeting held within his vast domain of Arundel , his Grace of Norfolk , the premier Duke of England , has suggested to the astonished peasantry around him a most original expedient for supplying the want of potatoes . But mind it is not a discovery of his own . Oh , dear no ! He says that a lady , the other day , gave him the idea ia a letter . Something warm for the stomach is the matter in question . "Perhaps , " said the noble peer , " you are not accustomed to it , but it is impossible you

      should not like the taste . Tor myself I am very fon . l of it . Curiosity was greatly excited . The simple countrymen opened their large ears , and no doubt mouths as big . What is this unknown wonder 1 It is eurry powder ! It is probably necessary for us to explain that curry is a compound of white ginger , Cayenne pepper , coriander , and saffron . There is a great consumption of it in India . and we , in Paris , have corrupted its name into carrick a Vla&ienne . This is what the Duke of Norfolk recommends to the numerous population of his wide domains as a substitute for potatoes . " Ton mu 3 t all know , ' he adds , " that it is very comforting to the stomach . I will go further , acd say that if a man returns home wet and exhausted , . and has nothing better in the house than hot water , hy putting a pinch of this powder into It , ha will go to

      bed much warmer anil more comfortably thsnhe would liave done without it . " Thus , when you are cold and liusgry , and have neither fire nor bread , take some -earnd : < i Vladtcnne ; the receipt is excellent ! How is it that truffles have not been recommended to those who lave no potatoes , there is so much similarity tatween thani ! Ths man is well known who tried to habituate his horse to do without eating ; aud relying upon the force of habit , daily diminished his feeds . When tht poor beast died he exclaimed , " It is a great pity , for I haJ just brought him to live upon nothing ! " All this , however , does not prevent the Dnke of Norfolk from bsiag an honourable and humane old gentleman , and

      an excellent landlord . The species of lonliomie with which he has given this extraordinary advice to his tenants proves him to have the best intentions in the world . But , in truth , when the whole body of a nation is agitated by the question of how to obtain their means of subsistence , it would be better to give them more serious answers . It is already known to be a certain fact that in the manufacturing districts of England , mothers give to their infants doses of opium te stup thecries of nature ; but to imagine the calls of hungrr iroia thousands of man ean be laid asleep by a little Cayenne pepper Is , as we conceive , a strange illusion . Long ago was it that Bacon pronounced the revolt of the bally to be the worst of revolts . i . ? i s i 1 t- r x

      Ihe Bestobatiox of th 2 Exiled Patriots . To th > - Editor of the A ' ort / iera Star , —Sear Sir , —As you have obliged me by inserting in your democratic journal two previous communications on the above important subject , I am thereby induced to solicit the same favour oi this occasion . It affords me the greatest satisfaction that the recent Chartist couvention have placed this subject ia such a prominent position before the peojile , and I trust that tens , nay , hundreds of thousands , will respond to their truly demoeratical recommendation . Bur as there is a course which might ( and I hope will ) be adopted , nutie :-ommended by that patriotic band , from which I am confident the most important remits would accrue , and being desirous that no available means should be left untried that would be calculated ¦ to ensure the restoration of these much injured and re ra b- n ic e , U J- j

      persecuted patriots , and also , that should this effort ( I do hope it will be a determined effort ) prove unavailing , that we might not have the unpleasant reflection that had we adopted such means our object would have been gained . I would impress on the minds of the electors of the United Kingdom the imperative necessitv of forthwith waiting on , or communicating with , their represautatives in the House of Commons , as it must b .-pnipalile , to eveipr one who thinks on this subject , that unless the motion of the noble-mindeil Buncombe is supported in our aytation ov . l of the House will be useless . Therefore , ye electors , let not this apjieal to jour sympathies 1 b made in rain , but with that resolute importunity which will not hear of denial , urre on the

      attention oi those who can give them freedom—the case of these victims of class infertile . In tlie sacred naine tif liberty demand justice in their btha ' . ij and alsu statu , in plain and understandable language , that if they desire your support at the next eleetiun ( au event uot r ar distant ) they inustsupport the motion of the patriotic Duaoouibe . for a free pardon of thwe men . For v < mr encouragement I will add , that this course has been adopted in the borough of St . Marvlebone , and favourable answers received . Up tlien , arouse , and almul this gcoa work without delay . Uemunbsr that united ami dc-tsrumied we conquer , divided and luke-. vana we fail . Fof . vanl , forward , with firmness aad resolution , auii success is certain . —Jims Ansorr , Sumers Town . J ! c . C-JOfES . is requested to send ' collet-tin . " -books'" it .

Thk-Cobs- Laws . —There has been more rubbish spoken and written upon the subject of free trade within the last week , than was ever spoken or writton in any ten previous Christmas weeks .

" The fanners are beginning to ask if the shadow of free trade is so good , what the devil will the substance be ?

      Prixce Albert and the Poor of Windsor . —His Royal Highness has demurred to the proceedings commenced against him by tho vestry for the recoveryo the pauper ' s pittance out of the Flemish farm held by its German occupant , and for which , not satisfied with £ 30 , 000 a year , and many more thousands made uu from pickings off the bone 3 of the paupers , he refuses to pay poor-rates . There is a large sum ot money now due at this Christmas time , while the German Prince is revelling on English taxes , aud tho paupers have but a Flemish account oi their rents , for we tell the Prince Consort that the title of the poor to subsistence from the land is superior to his wife ' s title to the throne .

President Polk has thrown consternation amongst the conclave of European crowned heads ; the French press deelavhv that France was more insulted than England hy the document . However , be that as it may , it is a re » ular notice to quit all further intervention with American affairs upon the Holy Alliance . As we announced , hi last week ' s Star , the question of European intervention with the atfaii-3 of the Republic has now been discovered to be the gem of the document , and while we are talking of war the Yankees are raising a national militia of 20 U . C 00 . ^ : France . —The king of the barricades has opened the French chambers in person , in a speech full of the usual rigmarole , is whicli he congratulates

      himself upon the good understanding that Bulsists between him and our Queen , and upon the assurance that wherever his sons appear they have iwMeiito the dignity of France , and concludes with the cheerins intelligence that htegrandsonsarelincreasing innunl her ; and we learn that the king then rose , sa luted the assembly , and retired , amid the cheers of his puppets . 5 > pai . \; . —If we had not had such a taste of Whi " oppression and villany , aud if we could draw our conclusions from the opinions of foreigners , we should decidedly say that the conclave of kings look with more dread upon a Whig than a Torv administration , as a proof of which , we learn that the resignation of Sir Robert Peel , and the restoration of Lord John Russell , was received with tremendous consternation at Pari 3 and Madrid .

      Sir James Graham and iue Dublin Corporation- . —The Home Secretary has at length consented to the presentation of the address of the Lord Mayor , Aldermen , and Burgesses of Dubln , and those worthies are to have the honour of tendering their loyalty to her Majesty , on the throne , at Windsor Castle , on Saturday the 3 rd of January , exactly at a quarter before three o ' clock . The TnKATREs . —During the Christmas week the managers of the several resorts of fun and frolic had amply catered for the amusement of old and youu "

      We remember no Christmas season when there appeared a greater competition amongst managers for public favour ; but that which had the greatest attraction for U 3 , was the Marylebone theatre , where , to our great delight , we found our own social and political aspirations presented in full character dress , to the boxes , gallery , and pit . Every- working man suou'd visit this popular place of entertainment , and should exult at seeing his order , and what is of moment to them , for the first time presented upon the British stage , without derision or obloquy .

      Ireland . —Conciliation Hall . —The repealers are literally flabbergasted by the evacuation of Do \ vnin » Street by little John , and the restoration of Sir Ro " . bert Peel . We are assured that the conventicle was almost too small for the elongated faces that looked mournfully upon each other on receipt of the intelligence . Bishopricks iu anticipation , judgeships , coinmissioBerships , parsonships , attorney-generalshi ps , solicitor-generalships , knigktships , clerkships , baronetships , aud chief constableshipswere flying about thick as hailstones in a storm , and we leani that Mr . Steele was addressed on all hands by his new title of ' Sir Thomaa , " and that Mr . Arkins swore he would change his Christian name to something elsi * , lest he should be mistaken for Tom Steele . Our own

      correspondent sends the following account of what occurred in the family of the chandler to Conciliation Hall . This enlightened member of the association was promised a baronetcy , and ran open mouthed to his wife to communicate the glad tidings , and upon entering the shop , fairly out of breath , he met the thorough " sammt , " or " maid of all work , " Judy O'Fiaimigan . and thus bespoke her , — "Yerra , Judy , were ' . s my lady ? " "Wisha , what lady , yerhonourV " Why ; my lady , youb—t—h ? " " Wisha , thedevilalady myself s seen this holyday . " " Bad luck to ycr sowl , you varmint , didn ' t you see your own mistress ? " " Oil , then indeed , I axes your pardon , sU-: re I didn't know ftat she was a lady . " " She is then ; go call her to me . " "Why , then she ' s finishing the dips , and if 1 calls her now perhaps it tia * to spile them she would . " "The devil may dip your sowl , go and call her 1

      tell you . Judy obeyed , and her ladyship made her appearance with the half-tinislied dips in her hand . " Well / said Sir Darby , " you see what God has sent to us , I ' m Sir Darby , and you are my lady Molly V " Oh glory be to God , but 1 always k new that God was strong , and the Liberator was just . Wisha , cosae here Judy , and . call me , my lady ? " " Yes mam , 1 will . " " Well then do it ; why don't you do it ?" " I will mam , for the future . " " Do it this minute , you writch , or I ' ll be after murdering you ? " " 1 tell you I will f « r the future , and I'll be bound I am not RICH , for if I was , it isn't here I'd be . " Our correspondent assures us that this first blow to her ladyshipsuew burn honour threw her into a swoon , from which slie only recovered to learn that the Whig 3 were out , and that she was no lady at ail , when Juily in triumph swore " that she was right after all , tfiat she luas ahtaus rhih . "

      Drkadfi'l Hurricane in Ibklaxd . —We take the following from a Dublin paper : — "The city has been a ^' ain visited by another of those tremendous gales of wind , which has been of such frequent occurrence during the last fortnight . It has been blowing all yesterday and this day a perfect liurricaiie from W . N . W ., accompanied * by heavy and almost incessant showers of disappointment .

      The Corn Trade . —We arc informed that Paddy has got such a foretaste of what the effect of a repeal of the Corn Laws will be , by the tumbling down of prices , that he swears the Liberator is no Liberator after all , and that lie knows he sails best in the political hurricane , thrives best upon confusion , and always has enough to live upon till the gale blows over , whatever the hnml * may suffer from short commons . We also learn , that if an election doesn't speedily take place , that the rural constituencies will vote for the devil rather than for au abolitionist of tiikir

      capital AND STOCK . Coercion . —The Times newspaper , aided by tho Orange press of Ireland , is endeavouring to induce the government to pass a new Coercion Bill to put down the outrages of the landlords , and for that purpose , is doing all in its power to create a bad feeling against tlie Irish people by making a hash of the most trifling occurrence under the head of PKCGRESS OF TRANQUILLITY . TUSSDAY . GiiEiP Bread . —The protectionists , finding their monopoly assailed , are beginning to speak out in unmistakable language ; they have the thin ; fought for wwltt tho League ha / e yet to fijjht for it , and while the League man Russell goes the- whole ho" with his backers , the fanners ^ ary plainly tell their man that iie shall do as they please , or leave their service .

      THURSDAY . There is a great dearth of news to-day—we suppose it is owing to Christmas time : however the morning papers are not without a bit of fun , and as proof we Hive the following seven lines and a-half from the first leader in the ' iimet of this morning It is not often that the old year has given way to tho new with so sure a promise that the change of date would be a substantial change of times . History has its own calendar , which seldom submits to be trimmed to the pe . riods of tlie sky ; V . ut this year by cm auspieions coincidence , Vie days begin at once to lengthen , and a new light to dawn upon the fortunes of man .

      Ah ! Ah !! There ' s a mouthful of mmishine . We presume our brother editor sa t up to usher in the new year , and thus knocked two days into one , and would furnish us with a new calendaV of 1 S 2 days and ahalf in the next year . Once upon a time a very stupid gentleman sat next to a very sharp and witty lady , and being deficient in chit-chat , he was driven to tl ie endless resource the weather , or the season , for conversation , and observed , "don't you think mem , the days are getting a great stretch f" " Yes sir , I do indeed , " was the reply , " but I have heard lhat they generally do Mliiitmxaoi the year . " \ Yepvesumetha " t the restoration of Peel , the clatter of free trade , and the thunder of the protectionists , have not as yet had any effect upon the lenuth of clays . But of course

      our friend means that the new year was ushen . 'd in with a new moon , but nevertheless if we may venture an observation upon on ;• friend ' s new almaliac , wo cannot see what possible effect the change of moon has had this year more than in any other year Hpon tlie length of the days . We have moro moonshine it is true , but we always understood that the length of the day was estimated by the rising and the setting of the sun . But God help us poor ignorant mortals , we must suppose the moonshine of the Times lias eclipsed the brilliancy of the sun , and as our friend would lead us into darkness , the moonshine is preferable for his purpose . Isow we'll tell tho Times a story ; one by which an old Irishwoman measured the change of seasons and length of day . One Mrs . O'Shaujjlmessy was in the habit of commencins work

      by candlelight on tlie first of November , and continuing it to the first of March . ( Jpon one occasion a tax wa 3 put upon tallow between March and November , aud of whicli Mrs . O'Shaughnessy remained in blessed ignorance , as she didn't want her candle . Well , upon the following first of November she went to Mrs . Brady for her candle , which had formerly cost a halfpenny , and when she had received it , she , as was her custom , tendered a halfpenny in exchange , whereupon Mrs .-Brady observed , " Oij-h , my dear Mrs . O'Shaughnessy , tho halfpenny candle ia a penny now . " " Ogh , yea , then Mrs . Brady , how is that my jewel ?" " Why the war , the war you know , Mrs . O'Shaughnessy , " " Ogh , yea , bail luck to their souls then , wasn't the daylight long enough f ' ov them to nuxvtliev one another , but they must fight by cwiileiight now ?"

      Ihr Cons Laws . —As we announced last week , the suspicion is very generally entertained that Sir Robert Peel ' s restoration , and the manner in which it was thrust upon him , will soften him down considerably below free trade . temperature . Upon all hands , and in all quarters , it is now confidently asserted that Peel , if lie ever had , has not at present , the slightest intention of proposing a repeal of the Corn Laws , and then snap , snap , map , goes ministry after ministry , and baug , bang , bang gees the whole system . " When rogues fall out , honest men come by their own . " Iueland . —Not a word of news today from Ireland , but all about the colleges , aad very little ot that .

      CtttMBs oF Comfort for tub Farmed , -We give the following hst of imported eatables , "during the last week , precisely as we find it , and from it . the tarmers may learn how , by a sum in the rule of three tariff oi . 1841 . Here follows the mournful catalo ^ ue : — . FoBEicjf PnovmoNS . —The arrivals of poultry &n ? other articles of consumption duri the past week for supply of the markets at this festive season , have keen ot a remarkably extensive character , whilst the importation ot cattle ant ) provisions generally have been of more man the average nature . A large quantity of corn of the various kmds of grain known under that head ; flour , uots wheaten and potatoe ; also vegetables of the latter uescnptiou , have arrived , consequent , doubtless the n : *

      , upon reported scarcity of such articles in this country , and the necessuy ot their supply from extraneous sources . It mil be seen that the arrivals , iu many instances , have been from quarters whence we do not usually look for such extensive supplies ; but we will enunurate some of them , nearly in the order of their arrival during the period named _ The Virginia , a sailing Vl ! 3 sel tt ^ SW sey , brought 47 tons of potatoes ; the Pallas , from St .

The General Steam Navigation Company s shi p Giraffe , from Rotterdam , brought in addition to 0 cows and 18 oxen , ( a small number in eonaequeneeof the roughness of the weather at this season , and the probability of the detention of the vessel , and inconvenience and delay to tho passengers arising if a larger number were shipped , ) 37 packages of poultry , 22 of yeast , the extraordinary large number of 322 baskets of fish

      , in a fresh state , and an extensive cargo , consistiHgot seeds , cheese , tongues , butter , and other articles of Dutch produce ; and the Company ' s ship Ocean , from the same port , which had been despatched specially for the purpose , brought 40 oxen , 8 !) cows , 83 swine , a novel article of importation from that quarter , and no less than 020 sheep , being by far the largest number brought in one vessel to this country from the Continent . Notwithstanding the immenstt number of cattle on board this vessel , and the roughness of tha weather , she brought them over , in consequence of her extensive dimensions and accommodation , aud her seaworthiness , and landed them at the Brunswick-wharf , Blackwall . for their

      destination , in perftirt safety . The Company's steam . ship Rainbow , from Havre , brought lot packages » f pears . The Ba . end , from Harlingen , Holland , a Dutch sailing veisel , brought 5 l > cows and 58 sheep to the same destination as the steamers frDm liotterdam . The Matchless , from Bunkerque , brought 923 bigs of flour , the produce of France ; and a large number of sailing vesach arrived also in the middle of the week , from Holland and li ' rante , laden with oats , wheat , and grain , generally for the London market , in addition to the usual and numerous arrivals from the Russian , Prussian , and Austrian ports . A sailing vessel , the New Blossom , from Villarioiosa , brought 800 bushels of chesnuts . The General Steam Company's ship Soho , from Antwerp , brought 74 baskets of smelts , aud other articles ; and the Triton , from Ostend , 14 packages of poultry and a large quantity of butter a » d eggs , the whole being tho produce of Belgium . About the same period numerous arrivals of American produce have taken place at the port of Liverpool from the various shipping

      poitsof the United States ; a mention of two or three of them will be suflicient to give a correct idea of their extent and importance . The Koseius , from New York brought 13 , 000 bushels of wheat , nearly 3 , 000 barrels of flour , 400 barrels of apples , &c . ; the Warren , from Baltimore , nearly 10 ' jOOO bushels of corn , 4 , 000 barrels of Hour , 1 , 000 hams , ins . ; the Young Queen , from Montreal , 1 , 100 barrels of Hour , 2 , 500 bushels of peas , 530 quarters of wheat ; and several other vessgihave also arrived both at the ports of Liverpool and London with articles of a similar kind from the various shipping ports of Cauada , the produce of that place . A sailing vessel , the Friends , from Gigon , brought 1 , 500 bushels of small , and 500 bushels ,, f chestnuts ; and numerous vessels have also arrived from Lisbon , St . Michael ' s , St . Ubes , and otl \ w *^ laces in the south of Europe , laden with oranges and other seasonable fruits , the importations into the port of Hull , too , in the same period of time , of cattle , provisionsof various descriptions , aud grain generally , from the northern ports , have been of

      a very extensive and important character . The General Steam Company's vessel Tourist , from Calais , brought a large quantity of poultry , aud their steam-ship Venezuela , which arrived at the Bruuswkk Pier , Blackwall , on l ' s-i . day , from Rotterdam , brought the huge number of 432 packages of fish , 20 packages of poultry , 34 boxes of yeast , 400 packages of butter , a large quantity of seeds , cheese , aud other articles the produce of Holland for consumption in this country . The Princess Victoria steamer , from Antwerp , brought 31 packages of fish . The Flora , from Hamburgh , 4 , 000 packages of butter , a very large quantity ; and the City of Boulogne steam-ship , from Boulogne , brought a large quantity of poultry and other articles , the produce of France . Subsequent importations into Liverpool have also taken place of grain , flour , apples , und other articles of general consumption and importance from the United States . It is remarkable among these various importations of provisions from the continent to how great an extent the supply of fresh fish from Holland has been increased of lute , in addition to tho numa-ous

      important supplies from tli * t country . The supply of smelts from Belgium also , are , of late , increased vastly ; while , we believe , the fish brought from Holland is principally fresh cod , of a very excellent quality . Altogether from these enumerations of some of the importations , it will be seen that thearrivals of provisions genarally have been of an extensive nature , and at the present time presents a feature of interest and importance . The arrivals of rattle from the Continent into the port of London during the last week have comprised , according to ships' manifests , 102 oxen , and 132 cows , 023 sheep , and 37 pigs . The following statement of the imports of live cattle into England , duty paid , during the past year , is taken from nn official source , corrected up to last Saturday week : — From January 1 to December 20 , IS 45—Oxen und

      Cows . Sheep . Pigs London 9 , 128 ... 12 , 573 ... 81 ) 3 Liverpool 17 ... 8 ... 'JO Hull 5 , 6 > 19 ... 851 ... — Southampton 05 ... 2 . —

The reader will see from the above list , that nearly one-tluricnitliof the number of sheep imported during the year was imported within the last week , ami that the very worst week for such traffic . It will also be borne in mind that wo named the autumn of 1840 as the earliest period at which the dl ' eut of Peel ' s tariff couid be understood or realised . This is a Christmas-box for the farmers .

      Stock Exchaxok . — Notwithstanding tlie confidence partially restored by tlie restoration of Sir Llobert Peel , as although Sampson was a strong man , and Solomon was a wise man , neither of them could pay money if they had ' nt it—so do we discover the impossibility of the jobbers to discount the Prime Minister ' s confidence as profitably as they could wish ; and hence we find speculations of all kinds standing as they were , if not presenting rather a downward tendency . Ireland . —There is no news from thesister country to- 'lny , being Tuesday , but hence our summary is robbed uf its chief attraction .

      r oitEiON . —Still the Oregon and non intervention , coupled with the embody ' in ? of the English militia , causes so much alarm upon'Change and in all circles , that war , notwithstanding that WE protest against it , and do not believe in its approach , is spoken of as an inevitable result . We think , however , that our minister has quite enough oi' domestic confusion on lis hands at present to act as a caution against interfering in foreign brawls , and especially in a contest of monarchical against republican institutions .

      WEDNESDAY .

In fact , many of tliem arc busily enraged in collecting the wreck of their recent speculations . Repeal ok the Con . v Laws . —Tho following fact may be relied upon . As soon as Mr . Gmilbuurn , tlie Chancellor of the Exchequer , had iieard of Sir Robert Peel ' s determination to resign , and that little John was likely to be his successor , he wrote to his steward to discharge some carpenters and other tradespeople , who had been engaged in making alterations aud repairs in his house ; the result of which was that upon the following night a stack of wheat belonging to the Right Honorable Gentleman was set on fire . So much for Irce trade and the moral instruction circulated by the League .

      SlXGULAtt ACCIDKNT ON THE PRESTON ASD WvRE Railway . —An accident occurred upon this line ou Monday afternoon week , which , fortunately , was not productive of any personal injury to any of the passengers , but was still of a description to excite the most serious feelings of alarm . It appears that about a dozen of fat bcasty bought at a recent cattle sale at Lytham Ilall , had been brought to the Kirkham Station , for the purpose of being fowarJed by the 12 15 p . m . Fleetwoou train to Manchester ; and that ihe company's servants had succeeded in getting eleven of tiie beasts upon the trucks on which they were intended to be conveyed , but were twice foiled in their endeavours to load a black bullock , the animal getting away twice , and each time taking the

      line of railway towards Fleetwood . On the second escape the beast pursued its course until it met the train , and , as it was not seen by tlie engineer in sufficient time to enable him to stop ' the train , its destruction became inevitable ( for it seemed resolutely determined to dispute the right of road with tho train , instead of giving the line and taking the side , as a more sensible beast would have done ) , and the consequence was , thai , on its coming in collision with the front part of the engine , it was driven backwards , ihrown down , and then forced forward for some distance , when the wheels of tho engine , tender , and two first-class carriages passed over it , and so mangling the carcase into the most fantastical form . But

      what was much moro serious , the collision , or the joltings occasioned to the earlier carriages in passing over the beast , were the cause of throwing throe second-class carriages off tlie r ? iU , without upsetting them , but inclining them so much on one side as to give ground for the most serious alarm to the passengers . Most happily , however , the weight of the luggage trucks ; bohinu , and the cugiuu , tenth r , awl first-class carriages before , kept the secoiul-class in their state of falling equilibrium until the passengers were all removed uninjured , and they were afterwards brought on to Preston in the first-class carriages ; and sonic time afterwards the remaining part of the train was brought on to Preston by another

      engine . Burglary and attempted Assassination-. — At tlie Or = ctt ( near Brentford ) putty sessions on WcUuvsday , two men named George Free-man and James oeorell , were committed tor trial on the chaise of ha * ing on tlie night of the l !) th instant , in . company with a man not yet iurested , bruku into the house of Mr .

      « ai # TIIE GALES IN THE CHANNEL . Tin s coast , within the last lew days , has been again the scene uf a number of ueculiavly violent gales . The earlier part of last week , which had been distinguished for a remarkably hard and biting frost , was succeeded in tho latter part by wind and rain of a fiercely tempestuous character . On Friday the wind blew with so much force and violence on shore , that chimney pots in various quarters were thrown from their positions , branches uf tree * were wrested from their parent stems , and window panes dashed to atoms . But the commotions on land were trifling to those to Iks seen on the bosoai of tha sea . _ Far as the eye could reach , the billows seemed to lift themselves mountains high . No vessel could leave tlie port of St . llelier ' s without risk of experiencing the untoward effects of their daring venture ;

      nor could any craft safely direct its helm in quist of shelter to our harbour ; the hundr . ds of hidden rocks which gird our shore threatening destruction to both goers-out and comers-in . The mails , al-o , between Jersey and England , have especially experienced the effects of the storm . So fiercely raged the sea on Tuesday last , that the mail which should have left the ibland at the hour of eight o ' clock the same morning , was prevented from setting sail till twelve o ' clock at night , n partial calm having in the meantime supervened . The mail , also , which should have arrived in Jersey on Sunday morning early , did not make its appearance till yesterday ( Monday ) morning , about seven o ' clock . Nor is it with respect , to the delay of tho mails that inconvenience has been alone Iclt . During the last eight days the

      communication between Jersey and the coast of Frauec has been completely at a stand , no vessel , in spite of the promise of reward , being able to summyiis sufficient courage to set out upon the enterprise . A considerable number of English gentlemen reached Jersey by the Wonder on Sunday morning week , en route Vor France , for the purpose of spending a " merrie Christmas" amongst their friomls in Brittany . Tlie vessel , however , which should have carried them onwards on Monday had beeij itself stormbound in France for two days previously , and had been unable to reach Jersey to convey passengers to their destination . Monday , Tuesday , and Wednesday passed away , and thu Lord Collingwood was still confined in the harbour of St . Maio . Christmas morning dawned , and our wayfarers found that ic

      was " all up" with their "merrie Christinas . " Some would have immediately returned again to England , but , unfortunately , their final resolution had not been made tiil two hours after the la » t vessel , tor the week , had taken its departuie . A full half of these " unfortunates" set sail for their native land again , on Sunday morning , while the other moiety , either plucking up a magnanimous resolution , or having a few further clays at command , waited patiently till yesterday , wheir a French cutter departed with them for Jersey for the desired shore . A peculiarly unfortunate instance of disappointed hope is evinced in the case of one of the voyagers

      who returned to England . It was the case of a military officer who had not seen his wife for the long space of twelve years , having been absent from home on foreign service during that protracted period . She resided in Brittany , and at the present ; time he had only eight days to spend with her . Melancholy to relate , these eight days were spent at a distance from his spouse of only four hours * jail —but inexorable duty repeated the wclJknown maxim , that "time and tide wait far no man . " He was obliged to bid , in heart , his spouse farewell , and will not he able to behold her for six mouths to come , —Jersey Times .

      Serious Disicbbaxce axd Aiiack upom thk Pomce . —About two on Tuesday morniag a disturbance of a serious nature took place in Blackfriars ' Wynd , ( Edinburgh . ) between a party of railway labourers , or " navigators" aa they are called , and the police force , in the course of which a number of the latter were severely injured in their persons by the brutal conduct of their assailants . It appears that a party of labourers , all Irishmen , were disturbing the neighbourhood by kicking and knocMng at the doors of diifereut houses , apparently with the view of obtaining liquor . On the policeman on the beat , named - « Iilier , interfering to repress their riotoar ; ami disorderly conduct , he was set upon by the party , knocked down , kicked and struck in a most savage manner , four or five other policemen being attracted to tbe spot , used their exertions to quell the di-tui banco , upon which the labourers ran into the boase of a man named Nicholas Berry , where they lodged , and armed themselves with a hatchet , shovel , and noker , with which they commenced an attack upon the polictmen , severely wounding several of them in the head , face , and ether parts of their persoss . The injuries which Miller , in particular , has received from blows aud cuts on his head , are supposed not to bo unattended with danger to his life , and several others ef the force aro badly wounded . Additional reintbveements of police having reached the spot , the clfcnlers , nine in number , were at length overpowered , and , after a severe struggle , lodged in the cells , —Caledonian Hercurii .
