tbataa organised agitation could be continued from year to jear without ultimately extending to our mostYaluedinstitutions ? Silly man ! We thought that hating so recently atandoned hit "finality " HOtfons , and joined the Leagne , he would hare learned humility , and not again exhibited himself in the character of-Dawe Fartingtm . The great and paramount questions will all press for settlement as soon as this Corn Law grievance is swept away . It is but the advanced guard of a host of agitations , which will force inquiry and achieve success . The questions of the justice of our present electoral and representative system ; of a thatan 0 Kani « ed agitation could be continued from x . ,. r * * _ i * r i . i »— . ! : „„?„ « ,, h
Ten Hours * Bill-and if that be net sufficient to make the balance even between machinery and labour-of an Eight , or a Six Hours' Bill ; the question of a scientific and proper cultivation of the laud we live in , whereby it may be made to produce more &sa abundance for all its inhabitants ; and the important question of the relative positions of labour and capital—all press for solution and settlement . Like tlie sliadowy kings of Banquo ' s race they pass before the eyes of the present possessors of powers ; and though they may exclaim with Macbeth- " Another , and another—I'll look no more ! " they may rest assured that their reign is certain .
Lord Jons Maxsers has made another ineffectual attempt to repeal the Law of Mortmain , and been defeated . Whatever his motives may be in thus persevering in his attempts to alter the law on this subject , we own we cannot but wish his efforts were more successful . The ori gin of the statute was , no doubt , most laudable ; but times have much altered during the century that has elapsed since its enactment , and while we should not much dread clerical influence in this age of railroads , steam presses , ami cheap information , the law does stand in the way of these associations , and of that assistance , which are so necessary to permanentl y improve the condition of the labouring classes . The debate on the Corn Lawg has formed a sort of
running bass to all other subjects . It was renewed on Monday night , on the amendment of Mr . Viluers for immediate repeal Two nights were occupied in the discussion of this amendment , and on a division there appeared ibr it , 78 ; against it , 265 ; majority for Pjao , 1 S 7 . Thus , in spite of all the Cluster of certain Protectionists , the party has been glad to escape under his wing , for even the three years' protection he holds out to them . The Pbeuibr hasa-ain shown his acuteness in judging of what will and what will not go down with the people at certain stages of progress—the difference between the practicable and the impracticable . Because he
has beaten the high-Protectionists on the one hand , and the ultra-free traders on the other , we are not , therefore , to infer that all danger to his measure is past . We may exclaim , with the sorely pressed Richard at Bosworth , " Methinks there are six Bichmonds in the field to-day . " He has slain two already , but there yet remain four other opponents to be despatched before the bill can emerge from the committee ; and then the Lords-what will the Lcrds do ? Ail we can say in reply is , that it is well " not to halloo till we are out of the wood , " and that the Protectionists intend to contest the ground inch bv inch .

I was afraid they were going to fall through ; but , let me tell you , liberty is a thing worth struggling for ; and I hope aod trust the Chartists will not despair , as their principles are just , and becoming
more popular . You may give 5 s . to the Chartist cause , from an exiled Chartist , of Massachusetts , America . I read the letter of T . S . Demcoinbe with much interest . ' He is the best man in the Chartist ranks , Feargus excepted . Don ' t fail to send me as many Star * as possible . I vrish I had one every week , as I used to have tlein when at home . —Johs Scott . " Geosge Govk , Southampton . —Refer to the Star of the 10 th January , 1 S 1 G . The Min-eks , Xewcastle-os-Ttki . —To the Editor of tie Northern Star—March * , 1 S 46 . —Sir , —in the notice to correspondents in last week ' s Star , you inserted a letter from a Lancashire miner , detailing the circumstances of an extensive strike of the miners in the neighbourhood of Bolton , Bury , ic . Sir , the writer
of that lettar professes to attach considerable importance to the absence of any report of the said strike in the Star ; inasmuch as some of the knobsticks from the neighbourhood of Bradford , distinctly stated that tljey perused the Star , to find out whether the men were oi strike or not , and seeing nothing of the kind noticed , they took it for grantea that the story of theprrsou engaging them was untrue . The just and proper inference is , that had any account of the said strike been published in the Star , those individuals would not have eome to supplant the miners now on strike . There Csmbeno&oiAt that such would have been the case with respect to the individuals in question , but it k also very questionable whether the publication o £ such tilings do not bring upon the parties the very evil they
desire to prevent ; at least such w » s tbe opinion of mauy of the leadicg men in Lancashire when the present strike commenced ; therefore , the sole reason why the strike was not noticed in the Star , was to prevent an evil , which past experisace had taught us to fear , and not , as is supposed , through any ill feeling towards the Slar or its conductors . Sir , there is in your comment on the above letter , evidence of considernble misinformation on th « subject of the strike in Northumberland and Durham . " The colliers—tbatis , the leaders of the colliers—have professed to attach more importance to a finger ' s length in any other paper , than to columns in the Star . " We can scarcely hope to be exempt from the censure of men , who having provoked a prema ' ure strike in Northumberland and Durham ,
then turned round on the man who had given strength as a party , and gained triumphs that were almost incredible , to cover their own folly . " Sir , we should feel much oWiged 1 > y yuur explaining to US whom the above paragraph alludes to , and wlioare theparties implicated . Yours , on behalf of the Miners' Executive , Mabtis Jode . —P . S . Sir , we have had furnished U 3 to-day , a statement from one of our lecturers , that he forwarded to tbe Star many important documents , and that they wera not only not inserted , bHt no notice taken of them whatever . —M . J . [ In reference to the above postscript . I beg to say , as " one of the conductors of the Xortiitm Star , that all" documents" from the miners which havs reached my hanrts , have invariably been inserted or noticed in some shape . W hen iily noticed , it has been because the " documents "
wers either so written as to render their curtailment and revision absolutely necessary , or because they have been reccivad at a period of the week when it was impossible to give them in full . I beg also to say , that I have ever given to the miners my first attention , before attending to any other trade . If articles have been sent to the Star , of which no notice has been taken , they hare not reached the Star office , or at least not my iiaud . Perhaps , however , the non-reception of communications by " the Editor , " may arise through thti parties sending them neglecting to pay thepostdgo The clerk informs me , that many letters are refuted ( and very properly ) because not pre-paid . It is rather " too bad" for correspondents to expect the columns of the paper to be applied to their uses , at the same time throning the cost of double postage upon the proprietor . The alow letter from Mr . Maktis JtfDE umsneeived unpaid , and would have beenrefused ,
but that tha seal having baen broken before the nonpayment was noticed , and the letter being found to be from a friend , the clerk paid the postage . —6 . Julun IUrnet . ] [ As eonduetor and proprietor of the North ern Star , I can only * ay that my invariable order has been , to insert anything that comes from the Unions . A 3 to Martin Jirle , ha will not require much from me to convince him tha * no reference was made to him in the notbe of last w-jek ; while I know , from my own personal knowledge , that a meeting was got up by some of the managera of the colliers * movement ; but I asn not goimj to open wounds which the good sen 3 e of the men have long since healed . In justice to Martin Jude , I must say that in his second letter he enclosed two stamps to pay the postage of the letter , but he must bear in miud that this was very like the Irishman ' s blunder , who put the address inside the letter , b'lt forgot it outside . —Feasgbs O'Coknoh .

Ihk Cons Trade . — " Not all tiie king ' s horses , nor all the king ' s men can put roley poluy on the wall again . ' Tumble , tumble , tumble , is the order of thu jay , and the patriotism of the millers will nut in-• luce them to give one farthing beyond the necessity price for corn . Tbade . —From every manufacturing town the accounts are most gloomy , and Leeds , which used tu turmsh the one bright speck in the black table , has now been overcast . We learn that iu that town trade grows worse , and that more men are unemployed now than at the same period last year . Ajpsinr asd Shake Mahket — These branches of tralhc keep the wits of the jobbers upon a continual strain . . Nobody dares to sell , and nobody ventures to buy—in fact , a greater dulness has pervaded Ohauge than has been remembered for some time VI course com stagnation , trade stagnation , and plunder stagnation , are one and all attributed to thu uncertainty aud despondency created by the emit , debate . _ IR 3 XAND . ihe Mckdered SEEBY .. ~ TUecaso of Bryan Seyry . the uuiortunnto Catholic , who was recently murdered at MuHingar , continues to occupy tho attention ot the country and the house . We jiave this moment received a Post-ofliue order for £ } from two excellent brothers of the name of Welch , of Uirmin" - ham , for the wife and family of the murdered man . ine virtuous grand jury for the county of Westmeath have sent an indignant resolution to the virtuous Home Secretary , denying that a deputation of BLooDiiouxDs from that county had waited \ ipon tho Lord Liouteuant to demand tue blood ot poor Scerv . lhose gentlemen knew full well that the di-putatio ' n consisted of 6 E . miaiE . v from the county of li' » scomimm—a fact which has not been denied , ' and must not be forgotten . We : ue . making every inquiry to discover the names of these gentlemen , in order that we may hand them down to posterity as a pack ol BLOODHOUXDS .
CoERcio . v . —The Irish press is mm- beginning to make 21 httle splutter about coercion . It is the practice with tkosu patriots to tolerate an abuse in its lnfaucy , iu order that they may profit by noisy opposition to its further growth . While the press and the patriots are indignant , the Liberator and the joints of his tail , that have followed him to Saxon land , arc lisping soft appeals to the Saxons , and allowing the coercion government to gain strength . Oh . ' lor a dozen Irishmen in the House of Commons whowoHldtako the first bench upon the floor , oppusite the Minister , 011 the night that the Coercion Bill is intro duced , and who , upon the monster bein » read a first time , would rise simultaneously , and , with clenchediists , say to the minister , " Then Ireland shall rebel against your tyranny ; as a high Tory authority has left it upon record " That it is as much the duty ot the people to rebel against a corrupt Parliament as against a tyrannical Jf riucu ! ' "
TUESDAY . The first news that presents itself this morning , is the unanimous vote of thanks passed in both Uouses ot' Parliament to our olhceis and soldiers , who have slaughtered the Indians in their own country . We wonder that some honourable , gentleman was not struck with the propriety of moving , as an amendment , that the thanks were due to thu native Indians for their just and courageous attempt to repossess themselves of the territory we stole frumthem . We presume thatlVieud Bright , at »' . l events , absented himself from this unbecoming ceremony ; but perhaps the honourable member for lloehdale views it as a portion of commercial policy , and is in favour ot'FREE TRADE LN BLOOD .
Lord Lincoln Aoais ' . —This noble lord is determined upon making an egregious ass of himself . Being well thrashed in South Nottinghamshire , he has .-illowed a Mr . Bayley , of Mansfield , to make a tool of him in the northern Uiyision , where the further defeat of the noble lord will tend to give increased confidence to the Protectionists throughout tho country . Peel and the Parsoxs . — We learn from many agricultural districts that each pulpit is fairly turned iuto
A drum ecclesias-tic , and that tho meek aud mild followers of Christ everywhere VOW liiv-and-faggot vengeance against the apostate Pee ! , for his audacious prc-.-umption iu attempting to arrest a threatened famine , the result of which may be a sweeping investigation into the general causes of distress , ami the discovery that it arises from the fact of the shepherd eating up all that belongs to the flock . The Land Society . —The most important news 11 this day is , that Messrs .

IRELAND . Qualification of a Peer . -Poor"Lord Lincoln , being drumutd out ot thcseveral divisions of Nottingham , IS , it appears , to be elevated to the peeiaee , or , as some say . yet to come i ,, for a pocket borough ! lhere are various rumours , some asserting that he is to go back to the Woods and Forests , aim not to Ireland as duet secretary , and others , that he will be pitch-forked 111 lor a borough . Nuw , let us see whether this labncation of peers is constiiuiional , and it constitutional , whether it is constitutionally practised . Let us , for argument ' s sake , admit that it is constitutional , then , as to the practice , it ou « ht

We closely watched the proceed ings oi' Congress and the American people , and we laid our conclusions , based upon the tacts ot the case , before the country . We cautioned the people against the attempt of the newspapers ( one awl all of which were written for Mock Lxchauge and trafficking purposes ) , to lull the public wind into a calm .

Many oi those jobbers have since sold their stock . Upon the subject of the Militia Bill , we an .

The Lr . nns and tuk Prime Mwmtbb . — The speech of Lord George Bentinclc , last night , gives awful warning of what the country is yet to expect .

"
Iuk lnAxciiisK . -By reference to the debates in i ariiament it will be seen ihat at last the Protectionists are beginning to discover the deficiencies , the tollies , aud imperfections of the Reform Bill : and ftva now looking out for protection through an extended franchise . Brown-bread Joseph has again revived the HOUSEHOLD SUFFRAGE STaNDAUD and all argue the necessity of establish-in * some defined standard which all wili ' underatand In our letters to Mr . Cobden upon the franchise portion ot tree trade , it will be borne in mind that we stilted the effect that free trade in tOin would have upon the present franchise . We showed that it would disfranchise tlie £ 50 tenants at will , numbering 107 000 that is , that it would disfranchise nil who now pay exactly £ ? Q a year , or even £ 00 a year , or £ 70 a vcar .
because tho iarm held now at £ 70 , and giving a vote at £ y ( l , will not be worth £ 50 when the Corn Law is repealed ; so that the franchise then would bo a £ 70 and not a £ 50 tenancy at will . Well , one of two things must occur to remed y this evil ; the landlords must either look fur a £ 20 franchise at will , or must knock their present £ 50 farms into larger holdings . So with houses . We showed Me . Cobden that every liouso worth now only ± ¦ 10 , would be disfranchised , and upon tlui whole , we have not the shadow of a doubt upon our minus that one of two things will occur—either that the Lords , headed by Stanley and Richmond , will throw out the bill , upon the pretext that the country should be tested upon the principle of freo trade or that Peel will resign , and that the Whigs will attempt to delude the country with the promise of ii vastly extended franchise . The country must therelore be prepared , while it avoids Scvlla . not to fail
upon Garybdis ; while it refuses coalition with thu lory lords , not to tall upon the worst rock of compromise with the Whi g Commons . We know our vessel , she is as tight a bark as ever weathered a gale ; we know the soundings of the river , and every rock in the channel ; we know our crew , and are ready to go to sea with tho certainty of a prosperous voya g e , it thpse tor whom we embark only cheer us with their ^""^ "ill'ce-UUT VICTOR * WE WILL HAVE

Last night Lord George Bentinck yeud statistical accounts furnished from experience , by persons who had been in the tradu for forty years showing that wheat could be imported into this country at something under 25 s . a quarter .

The Disease ix the Potatoes . —We take the following Iromtlie Tralee Chronicle : — Owen Sloyuihan , of Jlinisli , in the vicinity of Killurney , an industrious farmer , ami a tunasc to Jlr . Daniul Oronin , of the Park , lias communicated to us tlie ruiult of ttnwperhneHt tried by liim , not only on hU hstpotatoe crop , but 011 those of several previous years . In thu middle of August kit , he states , wanting fodder for his cattle , he cut down the stalks of nearly two acres of pu . tatoes , leaving a fw patches , at the ends ofsomoof thu ridges uncut . The result was , that , while tlie people ol the
country round lost a iarge portion of their crop hy the rot , he has had potatoes of the finest quality and in the most healthy condition—with this exception , that those dug where the stalks had n ot been cut all rotted , lit States that he never luuU failure since lie adopted this course . He thus accounts for this J .-. vourable result last season , lie says that there was a severe frost in the middle oflast September , to which he and many practical men attribute much of tlie fearful epidemic . By destroying "life in the stalk , " he argues the channel of communication by which tlie frost would have acted on the potatoe crop was cut off . Whatever may be said ol tho theory , it is quite certain that tlie practice has proved eminently efficacious .
Now by reference to our work on " Small Farms , " it will be seen that we estimate tlie value of the stalks ot au acre ol" potatoes at more than a year ' s rent . J here u only one observation that we shall mate upon the above : it is this—that , by earlier planting , the stalks may be cut down in July , which would save the chance of a nwuth ' s damage from frost . V \ e never had a dama » ed or a had potatoe when wc planted whole seed , and we have sometimes had as much as from forty to lifty acres . 1 year , and always sold under the uiiirket-uricc , and pknttd fov the purpose oi keeping prices down during ths scarce months .

THE TEN HOURS' BILL . GREAT MEETIiVfJTr MANCHESTER . On Monday evening n public meeting of the factor ; operatives , and other inhabitants of Manchester anil baltord , was hwltl in the large room of die Town-hall . Iviug-street , " for the purpose of takin g into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament for an efficient Ten Hours' Bill . " The Rev . C . I ) wray , A . M ., Canon of Manchester , presided . Them were present on tlie platform , the lii « ht Hon . Lord Ashley , the Revs . W . Huntington , > V . M ., T . 11 . Bentley , M . A ., R , Hutchinson , and W . B . Flower , Mr . lhomas Fielding , &c . The room , long before the hour at which tlie business of tlie muetiiif commenced , was crammed to overflowing , and hundreds were unable to obtain ndmireinn
The Cdhbmas said it was nearly two years since he was their chairman on a similar occasion to the present , lie could assure them that no change whatever had taken place in his mind on tho subject , lie still thought as he always had done , that a man toiling tor ten hours a day at any labour was quite as long as human nature was able to bear , or ou » ht to bear . ( Cheers . ) [ At this moment Lord Ashley was announced , and ascended the platform amidst the simultaneous and protracted greetings of all present . Alter the cheering had subsided , the chairman resumed . ] It was not individuals of tlie present that they blamed , but the system . The ' millowuers , taking them generally , were kind aud considerate to their work people as any body of tradesmen Dosslhlv
could bc . Hie practice of working long hours hail got so firmly established that nothing would put it down but the strong arm of the law . ( Hear , hear . ) lie really believed that if the millowners consulted their own individual interests , they would lind just as much work accomplished inthe ten hours as twelve , and of a lav hettw kind , Vor the reason that the opera ' tiye towards tho cluse of the day , would not find himse I so thoroughly worn out as he does at the present . ( Hear , hear . ) Ho concluded by remarking that the object ot the present meeiim ; was to endeavour tu persuade the govorniuent to " listen to their prayer , and to grant the operative cotton spinners & Ten Hours Dill . Ho doubted nut that truth would provail at hist . ( Cheora . ) The Rev . w . IiusmoTOx then moved , in a speech of much earnestness and
force-That this meeting deeply sympathizes with tho factory workers of this district , many of whom aro of tender years , and are compelled to labour in factories for a period in each day which is incompatible with the durelopmtmt of their physical strength , and the cultivation of their minds . The Rev . R . llurcinxsos having seconded the resolution , it was carried unanimousl y . Con > iderable interruption took place during the delivery of the rev . gentleman ' s speech , arising from the overcrowded state of the room . ( Cries of " Outeivle " Adjourn , " " Can ' t hear , " and " Oastler , " min-lcd alternately amidst the uproar , which lasted fov several minutes , notwithstandin g the endeavours of tho chairman to restore quietude . ) Alter order had in some degree been obtained ,
lhe CiiAiiiMANsaid he was very sorry that the room was not large enough-indued , had it been ten time * as large , it would , he had no doubt , have been vrowded just the same . It was quite impossible to adjourn outside that time of ni ght ; if they were to do so , it would be so dark as to render the assembly woK " r °$ , tfca ( 1 UC 8 lion - and the crowd would be so large that there would not be any possibility ot hearing better than in the room . * Mr . T . Fiemks moved , and J . ScholHdd , an operative cotton-spinner , seconded , — ' "That in the opinion of this meeting , the present system of working long hours in ftctorUt i « prejudicial to the he . Ht interest * of the country , inasmuch as it retards tlie progress of moral cultivation , and tho ex twision of a good Miiilorstnnding between master * and men , which is essential to the welfare of tliu rising
gene-The resolution was supported by Lord Asiilky , who , on rising , was greeted with dealening and protracted cheera . On silence bein " restored , he said , some of their excellent friends who had undertaken tho arrangements of lhatmeetin « had desired that he should come forward at thu period to support the resolution which had just been proposed to them He was very happy to accede to tuat request ; and ho would take that opportunity 0 saying a few words in explanation of tlw 1 pro » rew otthe measure , and the hopes which were entertained
tor its final success . ( Hear . ) lie was exceedingly sorry that they should be so greatly incommoded Iv the extremely crowded state of the room , and that there should be so many who wevo not able to obtain admission at all . llo was sorry and he was glad ; sorry tliat they could not accede to the request that tncy should adjourn outside , as that would bo highly improper , and glad , because it showed the vast num jor of those who felt a desire to be there , which Wi ' , 3 a universal argument tliat tho question had nut , ' . tor should not , lose anything of its permanent , its t deeply-rooted popularity .

THE PENR 1 TU RIOTS . At the spring assizes at Carlisle , 0 : 1 Wednesday , John Hobday , charged with cutting and wounding Dennis Salmon , was found yuiiiy and sentenced to be 1 transported im- liftcen years . ' Mr . Justice Patteson , 111 passing sentence , said a more cowardly and dastardly act than that of which they had been guilty , in attacking to the number of some 2 , 000 a house iu which ton or twelve of their fellow-subjects had taken shelter , and bcatins ; them in the ' inhuman manner they had done , hail hardly ever come before n court of justice . Even if there had been a iiylit
between parties more equally matched , and such out * rages had been committed in the course of it , it would be necessary to repress such comiuct by very severe examples ; still more so when a numerous mob attack a tow who can make no resistance , pull them out of tbe house , beat them till tlu-y are insensible , and actually continue to beat them ' while lying insensible on the ground . Two men named Stead anil Andrew * were bund guilty on a similar charge ; the former was sentenced to eighteen , and thu latter to twelve months imprisonment . Several other parties who were indicted for riot pleaded " Guilty , " and were discharged on their recognizances to keep tho peace .

( 'iniui / wit . —The rocks look tremendous , tluit to ascend it , even without the compliment of shells or 81 iot seems a dreadful task : what would it be wlim all those mysterious lines of batteries were vomiting lire and brimstone , when all those dark suns tliatyi u see poking their grim heads out of every imaginable cleit ami zigzag should salute you with shot , both hot » nd cold ; and when , after tugging up the hideous perpe ndicular place , you were to find regiments of British grenadiers ready 10 plunge bayonets into your pimr panting , stomach , and let out artificially the Httlo breath left there ? It is a marvel to think * that soldiers will mount such places for a shilling—ensigns for fivu and ninep . ence—a day : a cabman would ask double tho money to go halfway !
