nnde ttakinj . We hal , and we stated it , considerable misgiving as to the editorial capabilities of the general class of authors , white the pungency , raeiness , and piquancy of Jerbold ' s writings we thouglit , justified us in making an exejption iu his favour . There is as much difference between book and newspaper literature , as there is betwi-cu the slow pace of the lumbering waggon-horse , that has his long and droary jonrnej- to perform by night and by day , at the rate of two miles an hour , and the rattling speed tf the high-mettled race-horee , whose exercise finishes with his gallon . .. w , fm .. w . u . i «^ j ^« , f «^ i . windier-
There is no ordeal more trying than thatseareliui ; : criticism to which a new acquaintance is subjected upon his first presentation to a strange circle ; anU it not unfrequeatly happens that a first appearance is damaged by the overweening conimendaiioas of old friends , who have had frequent opportunities ef judging from solid worth and sterling qualities , more thai : from a prepossessing exterior , or the more glittering and showy manaers . In all those attributes , however , we fiud our foudest hopes disappointed , and our unwelcome anticipations realised . Oar new
lrieiid was presented to ns with an awkward , vulgar , and torbidduig appearance , while a second visit left us but little hope that within there was yet an undiscovered treasure , la such an undertaking as the prodactuu of a daily newspaper , and especially nowa- « laj , v , when thcie is so much material for architects wJio have acquired fame , to erect a temple of Ifflim-mlily , we had a right to expect , ia the first number at least , such a development of principle as would lead to the conclusion that strict impartiality would constitute its leading feature .
We were wiiliiuj not only to ba tolerant , but anxious to be leuient , and , therefore , we withheld more than a mere passing comment until tl . e second number had made its appearance ; and having always looked to the virtue , courage , aud independence , of the newspaper press as the bulwark ai ? uust tyranny , the promulgator of knowledge , the defender of right , siad the avenger of wroag , we feel ourselves reluctantly compelled to characterise our new cotemporary as impotent , and unequal to the task . An activity iu every department of life distinsruishes the present age from olden time ; and , as we louk to the press as the safest monitor of the present bubbluur uiiutl , it was uot to . i much to expect
that a volunteer , eogubuntof tha service into which lie entered , hadstudied the duties that would be required at his hand before he undertook to perform them . The trausition of the old hack from methodised opinions to new conceptinns may be progressive aud slow , and the most trivial advance is hailed as progression in the right direction , while the same toleration caauot bs extended to those who become Toluuteers , untrammelled by prejudice , unfettered by pany , and unrestrained by inclination , sud there fore subject to positive , rather than comparative , critii-ism ; while , even by the latter degree , the Daily Savs would staud in sorry central with many of its < kilv catemnoraries .
We longed for the advent of this hopeful ally , we panted for its coming , and the people were led to join in oar anticipations . Ail markets , save the oue , were gluttled , aud that one was anxiously alive to the promised advantages fr « m tlw new supply . The landlords required no more aid than wealth , representation , and a fair share of the daily press confers nponthem ! ' The League required no more assistance than a fair share of representation — the yoner of capital and astounding we-Jui conferred upou them , while the people , deprived of representation , stripped of power , and deficient of means , r equired that aid whirii the writings of Jezroid , the feelings
of Jejiuou ) , the courage and wcll-kuown principles « i Jerrold , were pre- * minemlr edeuLued to extend . -Froin the first appearance of the jmUv Seu . < s , aud cognizant of the fact that it was the property of two speculating stationers , oue of whoia had contributed ¦ £ 100 to the HtBsox Fund , and aware that the celebrated and Rev . Mr . Fox , of free-trade notoriety , had been cairsgedas the political editor , we felc sorrow tor the halo of sj » ecu : atioji witi which Jerhold allowed his justiy and hard-tamed time to be encircled ; aud our only hope now is , that his genius may dispel the mist , or tUatthe prodigy way come to an early but not untimely end , as a warning t « future speculators in newspaper subserviency .
After a close perusal of the two first numbers , we find notalifie whereon to rest hope of reclamation . There have been three long , weary , undigested , illconcocted , unreasoning essays iu each number , and all oa the blessings of free aud unrestricted trade , iu articles on which merchants speculate ; while , to be sure , the exordium wou ! d tickle popular favour , while it ieaves little hope fur popular rcdemptien . Before we present the mysterious outline of political faith to our readers , we mast firet notice that every subse quent line upon which tiie writer pins his faith forbids the realisation of the promised popular blessings The whole of the six long essays taken together strongly resemble a lengthy Queen ' s Speech , lexviug much to conjecture , and little to approve . The following is the liberal outline to which we have
referred : — The Principles advocated liy the Utiila Sacs will be Principles of Progress and Improvement ; of Education , Civil and Religious Liberty , ami . Equal Lejrislatiou : I * ri : icijiits , eucii as its conductors believe the advancing spirit of the time requites : the condition of the couatij demands : and Justice , Iteas-m , aud experience legitimately sanction .

Once upon atime there was an ancient woodman , who married a buxom young wife ; shortly after marriage she disco vered that ilie fatigues of hoasekecping rendered it necessary to employ an assistant , and professing jealousy of " hor dear old man , " sl : e induced Mm to prefer a roa ! e to a female assistant , and , con . sequently . a hearty young peasant was engaged for the job . * Tn the outset aiuch of his time was spent

After a short time the mode of living was improved , and great attention was paid to the young peasant ' s appetite . Meat was a tluu 2 in scanty use in the woodman ' s hut , and one evening , upon his return from work , to Ins great surprise he saw a roaring fire , heard a pot with an unusual bubble , aad swelled the strasigc smell of baith .

IRELAND !!! TIIE BASE , BLOODY , AXI > BRUTAL SPHlGEcn . Whes , in the whole history of Ireland ' s unhappy connexion with England , has shebeen distinguished by other notice than the sanguinary threats of her imperious conqueror ; or when has any change been proposed in tiie policy or commercial relations of England , that attention and notoriety has not been directed to a Btate of barbarism in that country consequent upon British misrule I For many a week hare we been directing attention to the blood-note of the Times . We drew attentian to the appeal of some fifty magistrates from Tipperary to the English people , embodying their own condemnation , and we felt convinced that those who traffic on Irish credulity would allow the catalogue of comolaint to swell until it was
of suScient amount to demand Royal notice . The nohle lord who moved the address in the Commons , and who received his political education , and consequently his prejudices , asSecretary for Ireland , found it necessary to devote columns to a justification ° f his own inconsistency , while the Royal threat against Ireland was despatched with a passing comment . What , we would ask , will the Liberator say to the proposed Goei'cion Bill ? Will he now come to England with his slavish followers ta aid the Minister in his commercial policy , and reserve his pi : my opposition to destroy tfie strength he shall have created ; or will he , by withholding the power at his command , shatter the Government that threatens another invasion of his country ? No , he will profess
to regret the justification that has led to the necessity , and wiil attempt to saddle tiie consequence upon Pathics O'IIiggixs ! He will teli his dupes that he required tranquillity as the price of Repeal , and that all the responsibility of failure rests upen tiie heads of those who have broken it . But will the nation permit him to sever him-elf from the wild cry of reveEge , which his own treachery has created through disappointment ; or wiil it uot rather demand some pw service tor the countless thousands be has extracted from the pauper ' s scanty means i Strong in the confluence of inconsistency , upon which tht British Minister relies ta aid him in his commercial policy , we yet trust that there is a strength in Ireland strong enough , and willing to resist the further tvrannv of Eugland .
The Times asserts tiiat the condition , liTi ' iits , manners , and customs of the Irish people disentitle them to the blessings of English law , aud speculates upon what the difference between the early and more receat conquest of the country might have been . This is a problem which cannot ba solved , for , had not Ireland been conquered some centuries ago by the division of her people , and the treachery of Britain , English tyranny , thtit hits become a by-word to thv world , would have served as a rallying point to preclude the possibility of conquering her now . If Ireland had not been juggled by Britain , and deceived bv her reDresentatives , all the powers of England
could not have subdued her , even in her then defenceless state ; wiii . ' e now , but for the possession of despotic power , she could not hold her sway . However the Queen may truckle to her brofucr of France , and hope still for an amicable solution of American difficulties , yet we incline to think that the French people , one in religion , and the American people , one in blood , with the Irish , wili not look tamely upon another extermination bill ; while the English people , already sufficiently reprobating the unconstitutional embodiment of the miiitia , will now hold it in increased detestation , as it may be naturally presume : that its destination is unhappy Ireland .
Oh ! what an opportunity now presents itseli to the Liberator of forming a combination more hoi ; . - and protective than a Protestant alliance , whose share in the partnership should be the largest half o : the plunder , if he would speak such language as this to the Irish members : — . " Gentlewen , we have common iuterosts anda common country . We are divided upon the question of Repeal , but let us meet haif way ; let us each sink comparatively minor interests . Do you join me iu defending Ireland against
the threatened scourge of military law , and I will join yfta in defending your estates against the exterminating commercial policy of the English Minister , and , united , wa must be succes-ful . " But , after all , i « this now threat against the Starring Irish peasantry a consequence of murders that have been committed , or a precaution against those which would otherwise follow a repeal of the Corn Laws , an <] the c > nsc"iuerit annihilation , of her only trade—agriculture ?
I / ird Fkascis EfiERTox , in moving the address , said— " I consider the earth as a machine ; and J look upon the largest landowners in the country as no + hin ? else than manufacturers . " lie should have said that he looked upon the earth as a raw material , upon the instruments that cultivated it as machines , the slave * who used them as operatives , and ( lie tyrants that owned it as manufacturers . However , be the land a machine , or be it a raw material , the noble Kuglish lord requires no nice distinction when the consideration is merely Ireland ' s undoing ; but yi-fc we veutaiv to suggest the imprudence of deetrfiying at one swoop the only interest u ; ion which Irish loyalty hangs . When one of the many classes of I Kantian , speculators is to be sacrificed to a more noisv
and powerful interest , a modicum of compensation is ofFurodto the victims . Hut not so with Ireland ; s lio has buen racked , torn W > pieces , to furnish a gorg « for the oppress-M * . There : s only one remaining in ter « t ; and there w no weak , hut wealthy foe , on whom the dissatisfied can be quartered . To be sure , wiion ihp land ' ords howled against the Tithes' Commutation Bill , to pay s ilvaiion- !) io : jey for their Protcsfcint son ' s , wlik- ' i was previously eked out of Catholic swcit , the noi-w squires were fed upon their own riuirch , nuule unpopular for their own services . Hut * . lmt , we believe , lias cone its utmost limit . Ireland ' s taxe 3 and Irish duties are measured by Irish poverty , and not by English clemency : the Chancellor oilier Exchequer weJl knowing that the smallest tax wnuld lead to a prohibition of the taxed article .
W hat interest , then , can be sacrificed to compensate for the loss of Ireland ' s oniy trade ? English blood , and English treasure ; England ' s militia , aiiil Eurjaml ' s sweat , to be sure . The how ] of Jacobinism was the rall ying cry before , and why should we not have the howl o f Free Trade and No Popery now' ( Tiie Minis ter has , in truth , sent a message of peace fa . Irwand now—Free Trade aad the bullet : They have asked for bread , and helms given them a stone ; he commiserates the Iri . sit paupers upon the loss of tlieir
only food , and in tiie true spirit of political economy , as he caanot create food to meet population , he proposes to reduce jopuiatiou to the limit of subsistence , led Las yet to learn that there is » party in Ireland who . under the sanction of coercion , throw off me uausincfe of ordinary law , and mi . themselves ahore the Irw aml the constitution .

Psbl is not a cruel man ) , to the sad necessity of courting Irish free trade co-operation as a condition of Orange ascendancy . So much for emanci pation so much for Reform ; so much for the gigantic scheme of godless education ; so much for the paltry pittance , ostentatiously offered as a bribe to Mayuooth ; so much for justice to Ireland ; so much for England ' s paternal care and protection ! After seven centuries of oppression , Ireland , « s a conscience of t / tc increased civilisation of tiie age , has degenerated into barbarism under England ' s civilisediule ; and while peace is the world ' s boast , Ireland , unhappy Ireland , once more becomes the battle-ground of faction .

FROST , WILLIAMS , AND JONES . We have great pleasure iu publishing the following communications from the members for Bolton , which we take from t \\ n Bolton Fret Press , and of thanking those gentlemen for their promised co-operation ; while perhaps it may be gratifying to the people to know that a powerful piece of machinery is ready to undertake the glorious work of bringing the question in a forcible manner to the notice of the Prime Minister—in such a manner as leaves but little doubt upon our mind of its success ; meantime every baud should bo at work to furnish oil for the good working of our machinery . We arc not at liberty to divulge its nature , nor would our readers require it if doing so was calculated to put a single pivot out of order . Perhaps , next week , we may have something to say upon the subject .
[ From the BoRon Free Pras . ] In our last number we stated that a meeting liad been held in this town for the purpose of petitioning the House of Commons for the release of JKessw . Frost , Williams , and Junes . Up to last evening there had been , we understand , about 7 , 000 signatures obtained , ilr . Ainstvorth , M . P ., having been requested to present , and Dr . Bowriug , M . P ., to support the petition . the following cohimunicatiuns from them have been received by the chairman of the meeting : — Smithills Hall , Jan . 15 th , 184 G .
Sir , —I shall be happy to comply with your wish to present the petition to Parliament for the liberation of Frost , Williams , ami Jones . 1 will thank you to forward it on the 22 ad , to rat , addressed 14 , Somerset-street , London .

extending the Qaeeu ' s forgiveness to Frost , \\ illiauis , ami Jones . You < lo not say to whom you have confided the petition , andare perhaps not aware that no member can speak on a petuiou except the person who presents it .

If the people linvetluit confidence in us , with winch our every act should have inspired them , we now call upon thum to furnish us with means to protect the poor against the- calamity of being balloted for the militia . We rel ' usud Richmond's money , and will not mnko u bad use of theirs . With money tyrants oppress ; with money wu will beat their oppression .
We will make such a use of it as will convince all that it has not been unprolitably applied . \ Y < i must remind our readers of two tilingsfirstly , that our expenditure of their funds lias always been satisfactory ; and , . secondly , that without money it is utterly impossible to protect tlieir interests , or to make their voice heard . Therefore , we say , if t ' noy have confidence , let them forthwith subscribe to the National Anti-Militia , Fund .

• ' feTATE of Parties .

The Torits endeavour , as long as they can , to conserve everything olmoxiou * that our ancestors have left us , or that they have forced ou us by means of aristocratic tyranny and corruption ; but truth , sacred truth , will unmask their efforts , aud will scatter them , ; < s the Whigs are seattere *! , to the four winds of Heaven .

thtfact , and that fact will go duwn to posterity . Soukmembers of that once jiuwerful party may prate thaii uonkbuse—may endeavour to look big in tlieir littlene's like the frog in the fable ; but no elloit of theirs can frustrate the progress of Chartism . I look upon su . h men us Uuneombe nnd Fvargus O'Connor » s thefuturi ( and that future : s not far distant ) rcguueratorfi of tillage ; they arc regenerators who will alike humble the proud aristocrat aud the selfish cotton lurd , and tcacl > them the great principle , thut they must accord to their new sufi ' eiing iVIlow : nen " a fair day ' s wages for u fail ' day's work .

nfOWUAY . Frrf . Trade . —It would appear from the Thun-< leivrof this morning , thac , after all , the thunder of free trade is to dwindle into a League Pbal , and that wo are only to have one little rumble . The mice merely moan a nibble at the ekeeso for themselves , and the keystone of the aruii of nvotectfan is not to bo sti'uek . Some time since , we commented upon the altered state of compositors , primers , bookbinders , and those connected with that trade , as well as upon the prospects of shoemakers , g lovcinakers , and all those whoso labour is as yet protected , and whose parents . have paid large fees upon their M-1 IONAL I Aim , m the event of all protection being taken away ; and the Times , and other journals whogatljop lcnowJodeo fi-omtis upon this , to them , now subject , now Imd it necessary to hoist the flag oi dutinetion , and merely look for free trade in corn
, nnd such raw materials as will produce activity in the labour market . We tell them , however as we T ' r ^ rnvrl * hcm 8 C 0 " ? i [ ™» before , that UN ADJUS I ED free trade in corn , most eventually le-ul to destructive free trade in unprotected labour , and the Minister is perfectly right in framing all his measures for the regulation ot trade , in the short period allowed him between the present time and that of the maturity of his tariff of 1842 ; as again . we repeat , not our prediction , but our conviction , that with 1810 will be developed the full length and breadth of that statesmanlike measure . We anticipate that the Thunderer lias liad a friendly hint of the JittJe to be proposed in the way of free trade during the approaching session of Parliament , and is , consequently , getting alarmed as the day arrives for opening the oracle from Del phos . And oh , if the great pro-Phet should turn out to be no prophet at ail , what a blot m the escutcheon' '
The Corn Tradk . —From evuvy market town in the kingdom , we learn thai the shadow of free trade is causing prices to recede , as children make their escape from a hobgoblin . Iu some instances prices have receded a shilling a quarter—in some 2 s , ; while the millers are still refusing to keep up stocks beyond a mere temporary supply . Now , should Sir Robert Peel not be able to keep up the dignity of the ghost , and should the fear of the farmers and niillers vanish at one and the same time , theghust ol i ' cee trade will be metamorphosed into the hobgoblin of famine , as confidence will be restored , and prices rise like
magic ; and thus a new phantom of scarcity wili once more stalk through the land . Perhaps the greatest horror of unnatural protection and impolitic legislation is the facility which they afford statesmen and scribblers of operating upon the fears and properties of others . We wish , frum our souls , that this monster was crushed one way or other , whatever may be the embodiment in which we should have to fight the change . One thing is quite certain , that what will now satisfy niillers and farmers will wot satisfy those who are too dependent upon both for the very means of existence .
The Money Market . —Notwithstanding the half monthly settlement has gone off quietly , and that ail the robbers have fully maintained their characters , * yet , somehow or other , things go down . The funds are worse , the shares are worse , confidence is worse , and everything looks worse , and all this mainly , if lot entirely , attributable to the power that otker countries have to mould our destinies to their will . The Texans prefer the protection of Republican America to the tender mercies of monarchical salvation . We have not enough of land at home , and look
for the wildernesses of other nations , and straightway the people , who can't get enough of food from anywhere , are to become soldiers to fight for the minority of Texas , and for a wilderness , chat tyrants may have free navigation to reap spoil and free scope to impose taxes . When will the policy be admitted that to be groat abroad we must , be " great at home ? When English blood and English comforts cease to be matter of speculation with a set of Jew jobbing rascals , who would rather make £ 6 per cent , upon the swallowing up of a nation than 4 j per cent , upon a gold mine or most advantageous railroad .
The Pkotectioxists and the Pihmk Misister . — By St . Paul , the work of abuse goes bravely on ! The Crec-toiiguecl agriculturists , unlettered by the laws oi sedition , and not prescribed by the rule ' s of decency , call the Queen ' s Prime Minister by very hard names , that of traitor being the ' one in most common use . At the East Suffolk meeting one Lord Rendlesiuuu , after having mapped the outlines of the i ' uUiru policy nf the agriculturists , and after having enforced the impossibility of paying a national debt of £ . 300 , 0 ( 10 , 000 without protection , announces the future operations ofhis party in the following terms : — " Let us cordially unite , and by a memorial to her Majesty , and by petitions to both Houses of 1 ' ai'lianiettr , express our determination to resist , by every
CONSTITUTIONAL MKA . NS hi our power , ; inv Inrthcr concession to the DEMOCRATIC FEELING which u fearfully increasing in this country . Let us not look to others , but taking care that we be not again deceived , DEPEND UPOX OURSELVES . " Now , every child in England understands the meaning of constitutional means coining from such lips ; in it * mildest application it means coercion of the Queen ' s Minister—in its most extensive application it means WAR TO THE KNIFE ; but tiie poor Uml will join to resist democratic principles . God help his noble folly ; but then he has taken a leaf from our b-wk , fur " he tells his party to DEPEND UPON T 11 EMSELVES . Again , Sir Charles Bun-ell , liscnvbcr for i lorsham , commenting upon the effects oi' tree trade , very truly says— " lie had expended upwards ui ' , £ 2 , 000 in drainage within a very few years ; but ii protection were taken aw . iy , and corn reduced to one lialf its present value , how could tiie farmer bo
expected to persevere in improvements which would then cease to yield an adequate return ? " And again — "Then , if ail protection was removed , taxes could not be raised , the national dubt could not bo paid , and the country would no longer have that character tor integrity which had led many of the French Generals , during the late war , to place their money in tiie British funds , a practice which there was reason io believe had been adopted by the head of the empire himself , in order to have a refuge for tiie destitute . " Well , to be sure , how the cat does come out of the bag when her claws be ^ in to ticklo tho'Squires iu their own bit of N A TION > L F AlTil . After all , we are the real prophets , for the readers of tkc Star have that paper to refer to , iu wiiicii we told theis , in April , 1812 , that the Corn Laws bui : iy once repealed , the landlords would begin to ask all about the NATIONAL DEBT , all about the TITHES , ail nbou * TAXATION , and what all '¦ hem there things v . - m-e about , and that they would then s « y , why , THOSE CHARTISTS WERE RIGHT AFl'EIl ALL !
IRELAND . Tranquillity of Ireland . —At fo'it wg give the fourso vusM'tod to by Mrs . Mii ^ arc and hev children lor the eiicoiirngeme ' nt of Ji ' . ' sh aifriciiltliit , ami IVom the report it wiil he seen that the Irish people no longer rely upon the speciliss of O'Comuul , or tlu > wag of his " tail" tor the liberation of Ireland , white the Irish peov . lu will now discover the valno of the uiTtOATED Gouucios Uith supported by the Liberator . If ever there was a delibji-au * act of treason , it was that of streiiittlicnins tin ; hands of thu Irish
Executive with such ah : isi \ bloody , and brutal measure ; and every Irishmfin who is him ? , shot , or transported under its ; provisions will bu u victim to O'Coiiuelljustice to Ireland . The White Hoys , ot l&' 3 , forced the Tithe Commwtation IViil IVnwi the Tories , and perhaps the Mnguires , t > f 18-10 , may force a Laxu Commutation KiLi . tVmu \\ k wiine parlies . Mr . Duffy lias told us that no liberty is to be achieved fur Ireland except by seditious libels : we tell him there i .= more to . be achieved by the outpourings of that turbulence created by this subserviency and denounced by the fears of the Irish press .

Poor priceless slaves , with measured conscience , bated breath , and fettered hand You proleRs to loose tlis chain iflat lauds your country , while yon tighten every rivet and forge—such bondage as fiecmeu Mush at . Yuu havc . lioped , by your silence , to procure tho downfall of t \ ti man whose bravery you should have honoured , in whose intellect you should have taken pride , in whose veins run the . puvo stream of liberty , and whose triumph will but mark your impetciic » . "
W hat a pity it is that the Lioerator did nst accept the " One Pound Note" of the ox-Member for Cork , when the Jntter would have been certain to visit Bur ^ h-Quuy ; and , as the Northern Slur would have followed in his train , then , indeed , might Irvhiml have Voastei of possessihg one journal with extraordinary prettnsions to honesty and independence . Why didn ' t it give our article at full length and allow readers to judge whether , under tho circumstances of the case , we were severe or mild . As to Mr . O'Connor ' s prohable exhibition at Conciliation Hall had his one pound been snaftlcd , we can only say
that the Liberator would give all the Kepeal rent in his coffers rather than hear one blast from his trumpet within tiie walls of Conciliation Hall . The buiHing would tremble like the walls of Jericho , and smother ¦ jusulcry under its ruins . Quere . Why hasn ' t Mr . O'Connor got back his guinea that he paid for ins uiuskct as an Irish volunteer ? " 'We shall be most happy , whenever circumstances warrant , to make an exemption in the case of the World . A man with one eye is king amongst the blind , and if there is a distinction without a difference our contemporary is welcome to the shade .
The Irish Piskss asd the Nation . —The Liberal press of Ireland is in hydrostatics , as J / cs . Mulctprop would say , at the bare notion of the Saxon Government prosecuting Mr . Duffy , and more than angry at the notion of Sir ltobert Peel allowing the Ikndd aud the Standard to insult the Irish ptople . If those gentlemen had felt . v > indignant when tlio press of England and the Liberator hounded the Government on to prosecute , and persecute , aud hunt down the English Chartists , perhaps we , too , might have had a fellow feeling . For a season they conquered , but we survived' our motto—was " Subdueo , but not conquered . " They thought that they had conquered , and , in the words of their chief , we say , " Vw victis ! " —Woe to the conqueror . Why did ' nt they defend O'Hi < rgins by publishing his sedition , especially when Mr . Dufty tells us , that no liberty is ever achieved except by the publication of SEDITIOUS LIBEL .
IIkpkksksta'ho . v of Doiiux . —Notwithstanding the great efforts of the Repeal party , it would appear that Mr . Hamilton , one of the members for the Pro testant College , has a strong impression of being able to scat two Conservatives at the next election ; and , in sood truth , if the next does not give us better Irishmen than Repealers have hitherto proved themselves to be , put two Conservatives and two Repealers In a sack and shake ' em , Ar . d which comes first you may take ' em .
FOREIGN . America . — Notwithstanding the , subserviency of the English press , and tiie great interest that many of its conductors have in keeping up prices , and the advantage of confidence to a Prime Minister , THE SPEC IN THE WEST is still lowering over everything and overshadowing men ' s minds . Gigantic efforts are bying made to arouse English patriotism in favour of English institutions and against republican principles . The spirit of France that was the first to acknowledge the independence of Texas , is urged as a reason for English sympathy , when Texas considers her true independence to consist in republican institutions : and that long cherished antipathy , and , till now , growing hostility towards France , is
sought to be merged into national sympathy . Like the contests of political parties wheu their privileges arc assailed , so with the English press and France . Now all minor differences are to be surrendered until the proud spirit ol' democracy is humbled , and THEN they'll light their own prlrty battles over again . Prussia will , doulitlcsB , do all that in HER power lits to uphold tho despotism of irresponsible rulers , and we should uot \ yi at all astonished to find the sponsor of tlw Queen ' s first-born tendering a loan ot his troops as substitutes for the French soldiers sent to America . Again wo have to remind our readers that three years ago we proplicciotl die incorporation of this Jtfiiguc ef icings to overthrow the league ol people ; but U . x ! > ; rant that they way fail in their TREASONABLE attempt . *
TO £ SDA 7 . Fkkb Tradk . —As the ii : ne for the conviction ot the Timta newspaper arrives , tke Thunderer is not satisfied with one loaf of daily bread , but actually gives us two long articles directly treatiug of the question of free trade , as well as a nibble in everyuiingmto which the exhausted subject can bs lugged . The Duke of Richmond is a base man for not correcting the acknowledged abuses of the Poor Law Amendment Act , which he has admitted for ten years , while he strangled the qui tam actions against iiis brother giimblurs -tt railway speed . We have not time this week , but , with God ' s blearing , next week we'll furnish o « r cotemporary < vifclt a sumianvv , not oi the nitre sayings , but of the actual doings of his
teuder-heavti'd clients , the mill-lord : ! . It would be much better lot * the belligerent parties to fight the question of free trade upon its naked merits , because Hie Times may rest assured that all the money in the League ' s coffers nor yet in the Treasury , would not , upon comparison with the landlords , save them from tho majority of tlw dirt . The tact is this , Ihe laws of tiie landlords are bad aud grievous , but the accomplishment of free trade would not repeal any one ; ict obnoxious to liberty , while the cruel deeds of capitalists in their hourly conflicts with-labour evince a spirit- of brutality beyond law . The oppression of the landlords is a heavy scourge , intended to fall equally upon all—the oppression of the League is the sharp and active spur of cupidity , never tor a moment
out of the sides oi labour . To correct any single law upon which landlord abuse is based , not a siugle free-trader will iead rite oppressed a particle of cooperation , or even sympathy * What we dread , aud wiiat we ever shall dread , will be the transference of punislunc . ' . t from the whip of the sluggtish farmer to the whip and spur of the active capitalist . Bright and Cobile . i have now declared that their object is to rescue power troin the hands of the landlords , while we declare that we would lather see one revolution in England than the cotitiiutous reign of slow torture , that would inevitably ilow frojn the political ascendancy of the tree trailers . The silent , but active , never ceasing enemy , jucihxehy , , is kept studiously out of sight iu this i ! l-avgued controversy ; i ; ut iwacliinei-y is the enemy , after all , that industry will have to contend with .
A Loso Day , my Loud . —The oniy boon that Irish victims sought from their murdering judges after . sentence of death , ' was as long a period as possible to make up fcheiriastaccount , and thi . sapneal wasalwavs made thus , " A LONG DAY , Air LORD . " Now , what would the Times » irc for all the opportunities and chance ? that a dissolution would afford of A i , 0 NG DAY . A "drowning man will catch at a straw , " and hence we find the Thunderer compelled to rely upon the gite « s of the Liverpool Albion , which ventures an opinion based upon the information of an omnibus cad , relative to Sir Robert Peel ' s FreeTrade policy . This is Tuesday , aud we have only two days ' grace , and we venture to ptophecy that Peel will as much think ol ' proposing the Peuplu ' s Charter as Free Trade , lie date not do it . It wouid be as much as his head would be worth lo propose it . Tiik Protectionists . —Taotc worthy gentlemen still continue their lip worship of the HONEST
INDEPENDENT ENGLISH LABOURER . The fanners ol Winchester have made their appearance on the stage under the management , and we rnny add , direction of Lord Carnarvon and tlioy thunder tiie same anathemas against the Prime Minister as their country cousins in other parts , in good truth , there is much sedition spoken now-a-davB by those privileged classes , but tho League and tho Landlords will Imd pui't ' ect security in their respective jury classes . It would be an anomaly , a curiosity even in these curious times , to iind a jury of agriculturalists that would convict a " L'AllMERS L- 'lUEND , " or a jury ol'leaguers that woalu convict " TliKlR KRlliND , " while either , or a mixture ot biitii , would rt'qnin ? very iittle cvidciii-e to convict "LABOUR'S l'lUliNlJ ; "but L « l ) our ' s battle once biscuit , U'jijueathul ft om bluetling sire to son , TUougli battled oft , is ever iron .
Conn Thadk . —Despondency in this department of traWc appears to increase us the doubtful day of settlement approaches , as we learn iv , m the several market notes of last wetk that prices are still tumbling lower and lower . Perhaps the Prime Minister may b « able to suggest some remedy for this apparently incurable evil , but for ourselves we see nothing cliicaciouR " except he possession of the land by the working classes , ami such control as the iVee labour market will lie < mre to exercise over the unmanage « ablo devil uiuchiuerv .
AioNtY Maiikkt . —Tho despondency is quite insuiVcrnhle in this department , and the news from India , being of a warlike character , has by no means Ic-ssrcned the embarrassment . It appeals that the llub&ian Envoy at Washington is by far tho most popular of all * the foreign * diplomatists , and who Knows but old Bluebeard ( Nicholas ) , whoso despotism is , we fear , smired fur a ^ es , may side with Yankee rather than Julrn Hull , as apprehension which \ v « learn is giving a tinge to the American neiva on 'Chnnue . lhtl- . a , America , China , Russia , Ireland and Chartism would be very ( orniidab . ' e opponents to Franco , Prussia , Austria , and E :. j > land , and there is little doubt but ; i \ ri--e policy o » the part of America , aiUlcd to th (> connivance ! of Russia , may tend to disturb " our friendly relations" with the Celestial Kiiiiiire , aud this OUR Envoy appears to underhand . iN ' ow all those things Logi-Uiw wifcii ihe iic-( I ' uncUukd in our cy / W / : pngi .
