0 ^ THE FIRST OF JULY , 1817-WiUbe PtMishtd , KO . I . ( PRICE SIXPENCE , ) OF THE PEOPLE'S LEGAL ADVISER . The object of this monthly publication , is perhaps sufficiently indicated by its title ; it may be well , however , to add a few words in explanation . That there are many subjects of an exclusively legal character , and bearing peculiarly on the interests of the working classes—on them more than on the othtrclasses of society—is a truth that hardly requires it < s assertion ; and it would , of course , be desirable that all these should ie brought together in a form , cheap , compendious , aad intelligMe , fer the benefit of those to whom the . v chiefly rtJale . . . . ;¦

¦ : THE IRISH CONFEDERATES . ; ; The patriotism brtUe'irisii . has ' stood , many a test , but it has ever shone the brighter ; they have had their : country trodden under footl-their rights outraged ; ' they have been ! deciniated , over the four quarters ofthe globe ; they have fought for foreign countries-as soldiers and sailors ; they have lingered in foreign climes as emigrants ,. but true as . the magnet , their hearts have turned to home ; they have longed for old Ireland in their days of adversity : they
have not" forgotten . her in ^ the / , hour of prosperity . Thus we find the co-patrioted Irishiin the United States contributing more munificeritly frorh ' tlieir hard , earnings , than the ! Irish . landlords , ; . Thus we jfind the Irish Confederates in London still struggling for their country—not like the alien aristocracy , lost amid the glittering vortex of Saxon life ; not for . swearing their landand their name under Saxon titles ; but " true men "—brave men—who ventured to hold up their heads , though liberty . is silenced
around them—who vindicate the noble character of their countrymen , despite the calumnies of iVhig legislators , and the libelling lives of absentee land * lords ; men who will domc-re ' -to cement a union between the working-classes of England and Ireland , and procure a repeal of the legislativeuniori , established by the oppressors of either , than the mockphilanthropists , whose utmost kindness has been to extend the scourge of an English Poor Law to a plundered nation . We trust to see the linie when there will be " Irelandfor the Irish , " arid ' England
for the English "_ not only in a national , but in a social sense ; for little do the Engiish ; PEOPLE own of England . They are but the slaves of landlords , factory-lords , and stock-jobbers —the conquerors of the nineteenth century . The Irish Confederates are doing much to break down the fatal and absurd prejudices which have estranged the working ciasses of either country , and to reveal to them their true interests . These are the pioneers in the cause of Repeal , who iiow manfully hold up their hands for the great cause . They felt their country
degraded , the voice ot freedom stifled under the old dynasty—yet they despaired not ; and now that the horizon is brightening with hope ^ we find them , like gallant veterans , at their post—with a storm-beaten ;' ' but . an unspotted front . Surely , pur English lire , thren . will join in the holy cause ; surely association ' with such men will tend to elevate , both parties ; surely political-consistency like this , now that it is directed to a great practical \ object , must meet its , reward in success . Now , we ask whether : the Saxon repudiates association with
the Irish ; Confederates , when / they ! are , truly honest , national IRISH—when they are seekers of liberty and not followers of sycophancy . ? We feel it needed but this to unite the people of either country , not in a LEGISLATIVE union , but in sympathy ; not in famine and chains , but in . rallying for the cause of freedom . It has been said " when the raonarchs of France and England arc united , they can enslave the world , " We may truly , parody this by saying — " When the working men of England and Ireland are united , monopoly
must fall ! 'It has been the game of the mutual enemy to screen from each the good qualities o either—to prejudice their minds against each other , and though they yearned to . unite , to sever them despite of reason . The CONFEDERATES are breaking down these barriers—they are withdrawing the veil of prejudice ; rwe- call on pur : English friends to march by their side , shoulder to shoulder , and to them we say : "Go on and prosper ! " The sympathies of England shall be with you I and we will join you in the mutual cry ; '•• Tlie people shall have their own , and DOWN WITH THE LEGISLATIVE MONOPOLY 1 " ; . : ;;

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW ^ " The sooner " My Lords and Gentlemen" are dismissed by the Queen from attendance on ' their ; legislative duties , the belter will it be for their legislative characters , and the less damaging to the official reputation of the ministry . If there be any more " supplies" to be voted , or " ways and means" to be considered , let that be done at once , and the curtain fall upon proceedings which would be farcical , were they riot so dull that they fail ! to excite anyi kind ; of laughter , except that of contempt . No doubt there is important and pressing business requiring imin >
diate settlement , but there . are " difficulties iu the way , and for that to be the ease is tantamount , in the present ministry , to its not being done . Real statesmanship consists in the discovery . of the means to surmount" difficulties . " The genius of Lord J . Russell and his Cabinet lies in their discovering the " difficulties" only to succumb , to them . Scarcely , a single measure of importance introduced by them during the session has notbeen either entirely withdrawn , or so seriously mutilated as to be made useless , in consequence of their nervous fear of encountering
' difficulties . " Looking back to their whole career , it seems to be one continued exposition of " difficulties , " ostentatiously paraded as an excuse for the nonperformance of every promise , direct or indirect , which they gave oh taking office . One . of the most prominent , of . these pledges was thorough Sanitary Reform . A bill having . that , object in view was brought in by Lord Morueth at an early period of the Session , and supported by him in a most eloquent speech , expository at once of the appalling ,
extent of the evils , which required a remedy , and 9 ; the nature of the remedy lie proposed to apply . \ We must do the Whigs the justice to say , that ' on that occasion they did . depart from ; , the peddling , huckstering style of policy , and for once in ; their lives propose a broad general measure , in some degree commensurate with the objects in view . To the merit of originality they have no claim , because they found in the office of the Woods and Forests a bill similar in scope and intention , which had been prepared by the Peel miuistry but they did propose ft

It' ig : even doubtful that this
miserable remnant of the original Health- of Towns Bill will pass- this session ; and it would be better tiiatit should not : it is full of imperfections and errors in its machinery , " which there is no chance now of calmly - considering and amending ^ The exclusion of . tHe . whole of the metropolis from its provisions , on the pretence that London is sufficiently important to have a special bili for itself , is equivalent to an intimation that " filth , stench , and
deathdealing pestilence , " shall continue to mow down their annual army of victims" ^ ' unchecked in London If the metropolis had continued to be included in the bill the country would have aided the Ministry against its corporate and parochial opponents ; but if once they are specially excluded , and have to be dealt with by a separate bill , the whole proceedings will be of an iuvidious description . The Ministry will have to embark in a direct personal war with the metropolitan . authorities—all the usual ' means of influencing vot . es will be resorted to by those authorities , and the great object in view will most probalily be either entirely defeated , or . indefinitely postponed . Ministers have no excuse whatever for taking this course , either by the facts of the case or
their own position ,, with reference to Parliament . The returns of the Registrar-General show that London , Instead of being ( as was generally supposed ) rather healthy , has a very high average mortality ; and in the debate on the second reading , almost ¦ every member who spoke condemned the exclusion of the metropolis from the provisions of the bill . It was quite clear that had ' the Ministry not truckled to the local authorities , Parliament was prepared . to have passed a sweeping measnre . But the base , spirit of subserviency and compromise , even in matters of , the highest public importance , is too , deeply engrained in the . present occupants of office to permit the hope of any real reforms being effected , so long as they are permitted to cumber the Treasury benches . ¦ , ¦ ,:. . ¦ . :: ,

he-House of Lords was a popular questiof . ' « d truly their gener ^ c ^ li ^ ^ wf hji ^ liyi nb ineaj ^ tended to raise them in . pppuiar estimation , as promoters of public liberty . ^; They'have'riiubh raore frequently obstructed thanaided thepeople in their struggles for improvement . ' . Latterly ; ., however , they have accommodated themselves a little better to the spirit of the times ; and the conduct of th « bench generally , ' with reterence to the Ten Hours Bill , was mou creditable . The new bill introduced the thin end of a wedge , however , which , when driven home , is calculated to make an immense
change in-the political position of the bishops . With the exception of the diocesans of Canterbury , York , London , and Durham , none of the bishops will have a certain right to ; seats ; the others will be called according to seniority , and two junior bishops will ' always be excluded until vacancies occur . When the country finds that bishops without seats in the House are quite as good bishops as those who have them , it will perhaps come to the conclu-, sion , that it would be as well to make them all alike , and excludVthe spiritual peers altogether ! .
The Law of settlement was the subject of a debate and division' on Wednesday , in which the " country party , " led _ by Mr Bankes , pressed the Ministry so hard . thatthey . ouly escaped defeat by the narrow majority o { three . The subject is a complicated one ;! ah'dthe existing law-is by no means satisfactory Ministers have , however ; succeeded in staving off the quesfionV ; iu ^ common with all other important matters , V . unfii ; next Parliament .

Land , Company for each of the Chartist victims during' their life ' . It is our opinion that the property ought to revert to the directors to be disposed of : for-soine benevolent or worthy purpose , according as their discretion may guide them ; however , those are matters for your after consideration . Many localities and private individuals have done their duty nobly ! but more , many more , in which zealous , storl . ingdemocrats reside , have hot as yet responded to the vaiious calls we hav « made !! To such we say , there is yet time ' ; it is no'ttyet too late ; much may yet bo done !

Let us eradicate the sta ' iH—the disgraceful stain which our former criminal neglect of the victims has fastened upuu us !

Remember that every penny , spent in dissipated habits ' would do something ' towards ameliorating the condition of the victims .

THE HOUSE AND THE PEOPLE . The . time is now coming to make a stand against Monopoly and " Finality John , " The Whigs are . afraid to dissolve Parliament-thev are equally afraid to let it die a natural death ; they are unpopular now—they feai to become more so-ttie latter alternative is scarcely possible . The Whigs have earned a notoriety of infamy ; they have crippled Reform , by . contaminating it with their advocacy ; they have pretended to take
up the cause of the people , whenever they saw reason to believe it was getting into ; honest hands ; they Lave quarrelled with their old allies , the Tories , but . the country has not gained by the quarrel . Like two hostile armies making their battle-field in a strange country , they have ravaged with their contentions the patrimony of England ; they have preyed upon their mutual enemy—Democracy . Their " ins" and " outs" have been like two alternate buckets going to the well of the people ' s labour—when the one was out , the other was sure to be in , draining it of
its wealth . The time is now at hand to break the balance of their power , not by giving cither a fatal preponderance , but by supplanting both ; by THE CHARTER . What we have to expect from Whigs has been taught us by the jnggle of the Reform Bill ; by their conduct relative to the repeal of the Ratepaying Clauses ; by their -New ! Poor Law Amendment Act ; by their Irish Famine ; by their treachery to the English , inscribed in bloody characters along the manufacturing North ; by their sordid money-grasping policy in advocating
mock-restrictions , ground down the earnings of the poor beneath the goldea grasp of the monopolist ; by their truckling to O'Connell , while they were murdering his countrymen ; by their showering gold on the landlords , while they were employing troops to take the food from their dying tenantry ; by their cringing to a Br ight and Cobden ,. while they were offering office to their Tory opponents ; . by their treachery to Poland , and their sycophancy to the sanguinary Tsar ; by their indifference for ilexico . iand their slaughter of the Portuguese ; by their pretending
friendship with the people , while they were abetting the cause of tyranny ; by their holding with the hare , and yet running with the . hounds . Under their recent misguvernmenl halfa million of Iiish have perished ; trade has stagnated ; agriculture has languished ; the Bastiles cannot hold all the poor , while the palaces parade in unaccustomed splendour . And now they come before us with mock concessions on their oily lips—promising
largely against the day of-Election—with their secret-service money , and their " high wages " and their " low bread , " and their "foreign trade ' and their home distress . With their Bishops ! thanks , giving for slaughter—and their accusations of Divine Providence for famine—they come , asking the people once more to give them a septennial lease of power . And , on the other haud , the Tories are asking the country to give them the lions' leavings . They advance . under the banner of feudalism and
Bentmck , who . vainly hopes that he" will yet be allowed to walk ' over the course . . These parties form but the double-face of tyranny : a political Janus , with his Whig aspect and his Tory aspect . Against them a double interest is arising rapidlythe interest of civil and religious liberty . Espoused by two great parties in the couutry , who , united , are capable of subverting monopoly ,, these parties have held aloof from each other—indul ging in mutual recriminations and suspicions . They do not
meet m their political views , but they have that in common , that they desire to subvert some of the same monopolies ; and the political opinions of the one do not clash with the religions bias of the other . It is clearly more to the interest of the Dissenters to assist in returning a Chartist candidate , than either a Whig or a Tory ; since , besides the members of their own body , none but a Chartist is prepared to subvert the Church monopoly , that makes the conscience of the Dissenter a taxable commodity . We have alluded to this phase of politics inasmuch as we believe religious and political liberty to be intimately united ; but , if the duty of the Nonconformist is plain , no less plain is that of the Chartist . It is an old adage , that a divided hoflse can never stand . The divisions amongst our opponents are bringing them to the' brink of ruin . We shall delay their fall and our emancipation , if we side with either . In that case , any check received by the party we embrace would
be a check to ourselves , while a victory gained would strengthen the faction we . haii aided , without assisting us in the obtainment of liberty . Our inteicst , therefore , clearly is to STAND UP FOR OURSELVES . It was not by being the weathercock of party that the Tory or the / Whig rose into [ rawer 3 H is not by wting for one of these that we shall gain a Chartist Parliament . What can be clearer than the course to pursue ? it is to form the nucleus of a party in the House of Commons . A few men will do it ; they will rally others ; a Chartist

Another curious illustration of the facility with which the . Cabinet yields id difficulties , was afforded by the abandonment of the bill for : the Better Management of Railways . The curiosity did not consist in the abandonment-that is common enough , but in the manner in which it was abandoned . Mr Strutt , the Railway Commissioner , for two mortal hours addressed a crowded house in explanation of the changes made , in the bill since it was first introduced , showed the necessity of the bill , the importance of the bill , . the reasonableness of the bill , and all the other virtues of the bill , and then
coneluded by announcing that ( query therefore ?) the Government did not intend to go on with , it , and that he would move—not the second reading of the bill , but that " the order be discharged ! " It was no wonder that an irrepressible shout of derisive laughter arose from all parts of the house at such a lame and most impotent conclusion to a laboured speech ,- in . which the orator successfully kept his secret to himself , and most completely deceived the bouse into the belief that he intended to go on with the bill , until the very moment that he made
the very announcement to the contrary . But no one who knew anything of Whig human nature could be surprised , at , the actual result ; and even railway potentates , with King Hudson at their head , had declared war against ^ the measure—that it was a " difficulty . ' . ' ;\ Vc all know now what Whig ministers do in a " difficulty . ' ? As was tersely , if not elegantly , said in the house the other night , they !! cut their stick . " To other , heads and hands raust . be left the task of grappling with that gigantic monopoly , which is iiow entrusted with almost uncontrolled
sway , over the lives and properties of the people of Great Britain . One peculiarity of this proceeding may also be noted . ' Ministers press for morning sittings , and profess to be most anxious to get through the . business . Mr Strutt ' s speech on a bill which it was not intended to proceed with occupied in reality all the sitting on Monday night—a Government night—so far as public business was concerned . . The house . ro 3 e immediately afterwards , and one night was thus wantonly thrown awav .

Members seem to be as anxious to avoid work as the Cabinet . With tlie exception of a renewal of the ' personal squabble between Mr Christie and Mr Villiers , as to the conduct of the former ^ in the Andover Union Committee , nothing was done on ' Tuesday night which is a members' night . Mr Muntz ' s motion on copper duties was' cushioned— , and the house , at half-past seven , was counted ou | on Mr Scrope ' s important motion with reference to the propriety of making the waste lands of Ireland , available as a means of immediate employment and fuWfe maintenance of > the people of that 'Countryi
The-hoiise and the ministry , seeing the lamentable failure of their , legislation for Ireland this session , perha « s wisely let the matter drop . Whoever-may be reserved ' for the great and glorious work of rer generating that-country , and constructing out of her fertile soil , mineai fisheries , and other resources ; a prosperous ,, rich , and happy nation—it is evident the task . is not , for . them .. . They ' have blundered enormously in every step , they have taken , and in the face of ten millions uselessly squandered , and a population decimated by hunger and disease , it is better that they have the modesty to let the evil alone , which they , at least , cannot mend . ¦
Oiiesubject incidentally involving a question pnue considered of some importance , came before the Peers this week—the bill for the creation of four new , bishops without giving them seats in the Peers , except . under certain contingencies .
