Duncombe maybe , jg ' jcarcdy possible that , constituted as that House j . at present , he can do what is absolutely required ^ g ive effecttottaeirvrishes . He ought to bave sup-^ , r ttfs upon whom he couW rely , instead of being obliged > n all great questions of principle to fight Almost single-handed . During the Session , be it l ^ F « " short , we are certain that he will let slip no Opportunity of advancing the popular cause , and of stripp ing the Whigs of any disguise they may asgame but in order to achieve effective measures , we must have a dissolution , and at the General E lec tionbeprepared to return at least twenty memfor the ^* T . J ^ -JLZmA ahleMr . Duncombe mav be .

      b * r * who wfll « " «* , ^ P ** and vote peopk onder his leadership . If Kussell plays the game be is suspect of intending , namely , that of coquetting Kith the Protectionist party , and showing the cold S houlder to the " Liberals , " in order to persuade the first that he is a " safer" minister for them than Peel , such a Jesui tical policy must be met by determined measures . Protract as they may , by all the arts in the power of the Whigs , the termination Of the Session will bring the natural death of the present Parliament , and the country will then have the opportunity , as far as its present electoral constitution will permit , of pronouncing an opinion on their deserts and fitness for office .

      The rumours as to the Government being prepared with a series of effective and radical measures for Ireland , have died away asjsuddenly as they were Circulated . The ministerial papers have nothing to say on the subject of a definite character , and rapidly as we are Hearing the meeting of Parliafoment , that may be taken as an indication that men measures , if contemplated at all , are not yet agreed upon . The copious extracts we have given from the Irish papers show that the gloom which hangs over that devoted country grows denser snd darker-Scircely a ray of hope penetrates it . Such scenes of wholesale famine and death from destitution as

      « re now commonly reported , may well make us question whether we live in the middle of the 19 th ¦ century of Christianity , and whether these are evidences of our boasted advance in civilization , refinement and wealth ? The worst has evidently not yet come . We have long snd hard winter months before us . The poor , starving , destitute , and almost naked wretches , whose claims for support cannot be denied , will be , bv the present mode of administering relief , exposed

      to all the bitter inclemency of the season , and will die in yet greater numbers from its effects , conjoined with the want of proper sustenance . It is also confidently asserted that tillage is neglected , and tb . it next winter will he a repetition of the present only in a worse degree , and on a more extended scale . One thing is certain , that , at present , the demands from Ireland for food cannot be supplied , the mills working night and day cannot grind com fast enough .

      At home , prices of all sorts of provisions seem on the rise ; an indication of either actual or anticipated scarcity , which , in connexion with the deplorabl y depressed condition of several of our staple manufactures , cannot but be severely felt by the industrious classes . The agitation for the Ten Hours Bill has crossed tie border . Mr . Oastler has addressed crowded , enthusiastic , and influential audiences in the leading towns ; and what is deserving of remark , although in the first instance invited by the working classes , his arrival in each town was the signal for the minister of tbe kirk , as well as other religious denominations , and influential gentlemen , merchants , Bankers , and

      manufacturers , to rally round him . At Edinburgh , vhere he and Mr . Ferrand addressed a meeting , summoned by the operatives , Sir J . Forrest , late Lord Provost of the City , presided ; and at the earnest solicitation of Sir James , backed by many influential inhabitants , among whom may be mentioned the celebrated Dr . Chalmers , the venerable advocate of the claims of labour consented to hold another meeting , principally for the purpose of explaining the question to the upper classes of the aristocratic Society of «• Modern Athens . " Mr . Oastler appears to have had a triumphant progress through the cauntry , and to have everywhere put opposition to flight .

      A campaign of the same description" will , we understand , be immediately commenced in Lancashire . . Ayneeting of delegates from various towns in that county was held last Sunday at Manchester , at which lesolutions of a most uncompromising character were passed , and a temporizing letter of Mr . Hindley ' s recommending the operatives to accept an Eleven

      Hours' Bill ' as an instalment" on their claims , was unanimousl y scouted . In short , there is every prospect of a vi gorous and successful agitation of the question . It is in the hands of men who are in tamest ; who will not stop to consider whether the course they are pursuing will suit the interest of this minister , or that party . Oastler and Ferrand will not only teach the operatives their ri ghts and their power , but enable them to secure the one and

      exercise the other . On the subject of the agitation , the Times has a somewhat striking article from which we take the following morceaux . It will be useful afterwards when it may serve "the Thunderer ' s" purpose to invoke the strong arm of tbe law to put down other agitations to which it is not so friendl y as the Ten Hours Movement . For instance , a general agitation in favour of the Charter or the National Trades Association . When it does 10 it will be well to answer it with its own words : _

      n iTt * T * in whichthe P ««» t agitation i » Lkelytobecarnedon , we presume that mast depend rery much on the character of the parties who areal . lowed to take thaUad . F .. r our own part , „ have no objection to a good ferrid barangns , or an Hour ar two ' s party aadlocal gowip , delivered in good mother-English mth a few provincial decorations .

      with the present paper we close one year and commence another . The past year was an eventful one when regarded in a political aspect , that on which we have just entered promises to be still more fruitful in events of importance . If the flow of the great current of events is closely watched , it will be seen that , however appearances may fluctuate on the surface , one strong steady tendency it observable , and ) that is , the throwing of more and more power into the hands of the masses . We are

      approaching nearer that great goal of every patriot and freeman—the realization of the principle of self * government . What 1847 will do for that object , remains to be seen . We hope much ; and looking back kindly and gratefully on the OLD , we heartily welcome the NEW YEAR , wishing that it may prove to all our readers better than any previous yeir of their lives .

      ^ MR . W . S . O'BRIEN , AND THE RENT . We have given very copious extracts in the columns devoted to Irish affairs , from a letter in which Mr . O'Brien gives a history of his connection with O'Connell and the Repeal movement , with reference to that document Mr . O'Higgins truly says in a letter to us : — Every Chartist in Great Britain should bave a copy of Mr . O'Brien ' s admirable letter . Bow completely it demolishes the sophistry of our Irish soi disant Taleyrand ! What a charm there is in truth ! And in Mr . Brien ' s letter the whole truth is simply , plainly and beautifully told . Mr . O'Higgins adds it is to be regretted for tbe sake of the cause of which Mr . W . S . O'Brien is virtually if not reallyjthe leader , that he difrnot add another sentence to the eighth paragraph in his letter , viz .

      That it shall hereafter be an invariable principle of the Repeal policy to keep the Irish nation wholly independent of English parties opposed to Repeal . " To tbis he should have added—that we shall bail with delight the accession to our ranks , every inhabitant of Great Britain who shall co-operate with us in achieving tbe Repeal of the BegislativeUnion . The hearty , sincere , mnd effective aid of nearly half the male population of Great Britain , was scornfully rejected by the old political knave , who never desired the Repeal of the Union ; but merely made use of it for no other purpose than that of promoting tha interest ! of his own family .

      It is not possible that any man could be the honest ad . vocate of the measure , and at the same time reject the co-operation of more men than there are male inhabitants in Ireland . There aie not 3 , 500 , 000 male inhabitants in Ireland ; yet a petition signed by 3 , 500 . 000 inhabitants of Great Britain far a Repeal of the Union was contumiUonsly spurned by the great advocate of Repeal And why ! Because he knew that the English people wonld keep him to it whether Whigs or Tories were in power . PATRICK O'HIGGINS . Dublin . Dec . 27 th . IMG .

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ ., ENGLAND . Mineral Poist , Wisconsin , November 21 st , 1846 . Sir , —A pleasurable excitement is always created in the minds of all liberal men , throughout the civilized world , by the reports of the progress of the Chartist party , as conveyed through the medium of the press in general , and particularly of your own Ndrthern Star . But at no time have our hopes of the speedy triumph of your principles-assumed bo substantial a character , as since the publication of your " Jubilee" on the 17 th of Aueust last . Now we know that you have attacked the monster " Monopoly" in the right quarter . Get the Land—and all turmoil of faction , all the brutality of a bloated aristocracy , all the cunning of a grasping ,

      monopolizing shopo-millo-cracy , will be nnable to subvert your cause . The Jews will vanish . Your ship will be chained to an anchor , which will neither part . snap , nor drae . Well it is , that this li eht has broke upon the world' " That all Retorm must have a solid , tangible foundation ; " that the working man ' s cottage , built upon the occupant ' s own soil , is worth a thousand Philosophers' Castles built in the air . Tbe Liberals in these States begin to understand this truth ; and as it is spread out before the people by their prints ( increasing in number daily ) , you can scarcely have an adequate idea of the avidity with which their doctrines are imbibed by all conditions of men . Labourers , mechanics , farmers , professional men—yea . Legislators ' . —take a pride in professing themselves believers in Reform principles , and proclaiming them to the world . In two years from now , our own Wisconsin , just now forming a State Constitution , will be a reformed country .

      There will be a race through the next a » e , among th « s eivilized nations of the earth , who shall arrive first at the goal of perfect civilization—by giving pleaty and contentment to all , and thereby causing good will from each one to all others . All eyes from this quarter are directed to England . There is none of the sentiments proclaimed on your " gala day , " that seems to us as well deserving of admiration as that in which you declare yourselves "Not Levellers , but Elevators . " The distinct declaration of this motto will not only raise the standard of the aspirations of the oppressed , but also reconcile those favored ones , who fancy they must loose by a change of system ; dispel their vain apprehensions : snd . perhaps , bring them over to your , our cause ! You accomplished a great deal , when you spoke those words !

      n e make this sheet the messenger of our heartfelt joy ovetiyour prosperousstate , and especially that most laudable of all undertakings— " The Co-operative Land Society . " May your successes out-number a thousand times your reserves ; may your determined ipirit , and that of your ' cooperatives , " move obstacles like chaff before the wind ; may your persuasion , and your practicable demonstration , encourage the faithful , confirm the the doubters , warm the indifferent—till hymns of joy . from the shades of O'Connorville , and its thousands of offspring , proclaim to the world the freedom of England , and the liberation of the world . Bless you , O'Connor ! bless all your friends ! and be assured of their good will , and of their sincere and ardent wishes for your welfare and success , by The Reformers of Mineral Point .
