THE BRITISH FRE 88 . TO THE EDITOB OF TBE NOBTHEBN STAB . DBiB Sift , —Being a countryman , and unused to Iondon my attention wa » naturally attracted by the vast number of newsagents' sbops , aHd on Sunday last , the bills announcing the contents ef the weekly Journals , were very remarkable . Ireland—tbe all-Important quentlon of tho day—had engaged the attention ot all tbe clever men who write for the press and it was with nniEzement that I rend such announcements as—1 Robtllion snuffed out , ' ' RevolutiOB craBbedV These arc a fair specimen of the Btock .
Well , sir , I was anxious to take all the nem with | me back to our villago , and I t ought forthwith the j Sohday Times , Ex * hineb , Spectator , and JoHsBoih , and read them over most attentively—Irish news and lending atticles . Uutjoa will guess my surprise when , lifter apeDdiag my cask , and giving mj labour , I discovered ; that I was regularly taken in . If it be not seditious ! tojprint—Iviai rohbed . I Treiand has long suffered from the accumulated wrongs : of ages . Mr O'Connell , for nearly a half century , or-I ganlacd a comploto BJBtem of agitation . Tba govern , roent venturously proclaimed his great gatherings in 1842 , and , from that hour to this , all oar better feellDgs bare been shocked by constant recurrences of ass assination , an * l other crimes too horrible to motion . Irish
misery has become a stereotyped p hrase . At this juncture , Mr O'Brien , a gentleman of birth , character , and fortune—himself enjoying the comforts , luxuries , and honours of life , eteps boldly out and proclaims rebol . lion . Whether such an act was wise or foolish , I Will not argue . It was an act , however , that rioked the life and fortuno of the actor , and showed a recklessness of pewooal danger . Yet the able Journals of England tax tbls man with cowardice . Be just and fear not . We readrepeated statements that Smith O'Brien walked up to officers and policemen armed to the teeth , pistels In hand—but we do not read that he shot any one . At the Common of Boulagh , he fraternised with the policeuv n , demanding their arms , assured them tbat their liv « i would bo spare *] . No proof of personal cowardice ,
I think . Oh , but he soamperod off on the inspector ' s horBe . How much better it reads if we say , he rode off on the inspector ' s horae , and at a time , too , when report s » y » the poasantry had deserted him , and , touse the words of tbo graphic writer of the Times , ' a rein , forcemeat of constabulary baS arrived from Casbfl , and , soon after , etroflg bodies of the regular troops , cavalry , ar . ^ tilluty . flad infantry , enmo pouring in from every quarter . Theconductof Mr O'Brien was decided , and tbe oaly wise course he could adopt . Tbe horBe , too , was honourably returned , ^ rs i t to be anticipated tbat he would remain to be tak « n a prisoner , or be shot dend on the apot ? Oh , but he had hid himself in Mrs M Cormack ' s cabbage garden—crawled on all-foure—reaB shot attumbled over and supposed to be wounded ! When Mr
O'Brien was in so helpless a fitite , why did not the brave men wbo shot at him take him prisoner ? I fear there ' s someihlBg rotten in the state of D . nmark . ' But if the whole report be true , there l » no waco of cowardioo . Bravo men are careful cf life—fool-hardy man expose tbemselveB unnecessarily—and in difficult clrcumatanles men USB the means of satety they can command , I suppose your Loadon Journalists are all daclHsts , possessing more tfean French honour . Had tboy been so situated , they would have stood erect and been Bhot . Oar kind hearted little man who edits our Journal , and whom I very much respeot , writes heroically , and settles a revolution with pan end ink , as easily as he would or-Uer a breakfast at the 'Dolphin ; ' there is not a butcher ' s boy in Waken eld that would not take him prisoner Without the aid of a pea-gua . Tha «« ClGVBr folk , WHO understand everything , declared tbat the rebellion was snuffed out . It i * very aiogulnr , that troops should bs Icatinff every day to q aell a rebellion already
non-existent . Have Lsrd Hardinge aDd General U'Donald gone over to Ireland on a pleasure exeursloa S Are Inspectors Blake and Trant in danger of losing their lives hourly , or are those assertions of peteonal danger and deeds of daring mere reveries ? A fortnight ago was tho aspect of Ireland so threatening as to force the English legislature to su » pend the Habeas Corpus Act , and establish martial law , and to . day the danger is all past ? Have our wise senators then trembled at their own shadow ? Has this monster revolution been a mere imaginative thing—a disturbed dream—of a number of parliamentary somnambulists ! Docs not every English and Irish paper admit , that there is ft growing dUeontent In the sister Isle t And an increasing sympathy among tho workmen and labourers of America , England , and Scotland ? Are there not rag'ie rumours about thousands of men being armed , and ready to fight 1 Is there not 8 systomatlo suppression of all correct intelligence on the real condition of Ireland ? Snuffed out , indeed !
Let our clever and rich men take care that the revo ^ lution be net lighted up . Let me whijper a few words into their ears . Rebellion is an effect arising from social and political oauBes . Man i » not naturally prone to revolt . Thinking men do not become Repealers or Chartists without reasons for flo doing . Sober m « n do not leave the sickle and seiza the pike for the mere love of danger , plunder , or murdtr—just the reverse . CiTil war is ruinous , destructive , and irjurloaa tor the interests of all men , and is only produced by continued acts of injustice . The arrest or death of any number of leaders wi ll not put down rebellion ; it may tend to put down open and manly fighting , but the spirit of revolt
will Increase and manifest its power in a more dangerous because a mo re secret manner . Capturing arms will net put down revolt , nor put an end to murder , rebbery , and assassination . No such steps will produce the desired roBult . You must remove tbe causes that conduce to make men rebellious . It would be better for all of us that we had less of revolution , and more of humanity and justice . Eves the London newspaper editors would DOt 1088 much by eo desirable a change . When I next oome bock to your graat sity , I will be more cautious as to how I spend my money . Meantime , I make the sharpers a present of tbe following ode from Pinder : — 1 Reader ! dost thou know tho mode of catching
guile ! If not , I will inform thee : —Taka a board And place a fish upon it , tor the fools—A sprat , or any fish by gulls adored . Those birds who love a lofty flight , And sometime * bid tbe sun good night ; Spying the glittering bait that floats below ; San $ eermonie , down they rush—( For gulls have got no manners)—on they push . And what's the pretty consequence , I trow They strike their jabbernowls of lead Plump on the board—tben lie , like boobies , dead . Reader , thou necd ' st not beat thy brains about , To make so plain an application out—There ' s many a painting puppy , take my word , Wbo knocks his silly head against a board-That mig ht have helped the state—made a good jailor , A nightman or a tolerable tailor . Farksbirs , Monday , August 7 in . 1843 ,

TO THE CHARTrST BODY IN THEIR LOCAL CAPACITY . Eeetiuem , — At this critical point of our ezlotdoca as an organised body , I am wiBbful to address a few words to you upon a subjeot of the greatest Importancethat is , local divillon 6 , How ia it ( that we are not stronger than we are ! Not because the oppressed are few—not beoaueo plans are wanting which , if carried out , neuld take U 8 to the goal of our aspirations — not because the oppressed man ; do not tee tbat the present arrangements of society might be improved . No ; but it is because ( here it still too much joalouiy—too muoh personal feeling existing in our ' loeal bodies . ' I hare often obit ? red , tbat when a new member entert our society , or oae who had sot
previously taken any aotive part in our affairs—who , should the force of ciroumstsnoea aot upon his mind , to oauie him , in the first instance , to prove hie sincerity for the iposdy consummation of our wlib . es by means of his own enthusiastic example ; or , in the second inatanos to throw offhis prevlouo apathy—the old jog-trot members ( generally oEftctrs ) , instead of eseoaragiag such parties , and rest raining them only when they are jeopardising the oauie by some imprudence , it is a thousand changes to one but the ; begin to impute bad mo * tives to them—suoh as wishing to tako the work oat of t * ielr hands ( at tkough they feared we should get our rights too soon ) , or the they take the very unwise coum
of throwlrg such impediments in their waj as to put a damper on their enthusiasm , and ultimately to cause them to leave the association in disgust . Now , I would strongly impress on the xnlndB of thoie partiee , tbat , instead of being what our merud chieftain underet&QdB by the term ' Old Guards , ' they are , under such circutn-Btanoes , tbe greatest enemies to the cause they profess to have eo muoh at heart , There ate , I believe , very few localities , that huve not boon torn , split , and scattered by something like that indicated above ; and it would be well , now tbat all our energies are wanted to succour uad assist the viotlmt and their families , to aot aa pointed out by the sentiments at the head of this letter .

SIR JOHN JERVIS 'GONE OFF FOR THE PRESENT . ' ( From JohnBuU . ) This won ' t do ! The Assizes ara here . The scribe has duly commanded the crier to soy , ' Sir John Jervis , Kaight . Attorney-General of England , come into tho Court •/ the crier has obeyed the order , but no Sir John answers to the summons . ' Tho man Is obstinate , Stubborn to justice ; apt to accuse it , and Disdainful to be tried by it ; '( is not well-He ' s going away . '
Nay , he is positively gone ! ' The qui tam action , ' saya tbe Daily NftWs of Thursday , ' BgainBt the Attorney-General for bribery , at a recent election nt Horsbam , where bis son was returned ( since unseated on petition ) has been withdrawn . The case was entered aa Kewmareh t ? . Sir John JervU , Klilght , ' and WAS tQ have boon tried to-morrow at the Lewes Assizts ;' butthfl Speoial Jury were yesterday informed tbat their services would not be required , ' the matter having gone off for ihe present . ' Gone off for the preseat ! Impossible ! The Whig Attoruey . Geaeral not impatiently eager to clear his character from a foul aspersion whloh hat damaged it for we cannot g& $ how mauy weeks past . ' Ridiculous , ' Our contemporary makea a mistake ! We do not know who Mr Kewmarch is . Possibly tbat adventurous gen *
tleman having , at the eioventh hour , discovered hit frightful mistake—having suddenly become conscious of the folly and wickedness cf even suspecting a Whig official of dishonest practices at elections—practices , for the suppression of which the Premier , in his hatred of bribery ( everywhere but In tbe city of London ) , is now carrying a bill through Parliament—possibly , we say , Mr Nowmarch may uow be anxious to throw the whole affair into darkooaa , and to me himself from the exe . orations of an indignant public ; but surely no tenderness for the character of Mr Newmarch ought to prevent the injured Attorney-General from forcing the proceedings to light . If tho Attoracy General ip , however , eo ( orgstfal of what he owes ta himself , we must remember what is duo to the representative of the Cxown in our
Ceurts of Justice , and to the leader of the wholo bar of England . The reportsfoundtd upon the action brought against Sir John Jervis , and now nithdraivn , have been circulated far too widely to admit of their being altogether disregarded now . Innocent as Sir John may be , and no doubt is , tbo world trill not be pertuaded of the fact by the viBible alarm which hos taken possession of this unfortunate Mr Newmarch . The ttiil must go on , or the A' . tornej-General suffer by default . Wo may assart week aiic * week that the Knight is innocent , but nobody will believe us ; we may fijht his battle , but jwe shall never gain a victory . He will stand convicted In the eyes of the public at acy other accused individual will sfand who , on the day of the trial , flppearj at tbe dock with the chief witness against him enjoying the reward of virtue upon the blue waters of the Atlantic .
We feel that our interest is peculiar in this business . We wero the first to announce the existence of tbe action , and to expoa « the dariDg effrontery of the plaintiff , who , poor lunatlo , persuaded himself into ( be belief not only that a Whig law officer could be guilt y of malpractices at elections , but that tbe world would credit the atrocious ( lander . An evening contemporary agreed with us tbat it wai lupotsible for the accusation to havo any foundation iU fact , tor according to tbs admirable defence set up by that contemporary , it was not Sir John Jervis , but hi » son , who stood for the berough of Horsham . Having given currency to this rumour we are bound to see it removed . It the Attorney-General will not help ua to convict this Mr Newmarch of groBB and culpable folly , wiao will ? Will Sir Robert Peel ? The right honourable baronet , in hia impatience at bribery and corruption , has determinedly withstood the issuing of the writ to the
borough of Derby , where some half doz « n poor fellows received , at tbe last election , five shillings a head , in conformity with long established custom , for tkeir easy services upon the imaginary committee of the Liberal candidate . The noble indlgaattoa of the ex-Premier would have full ecopo in the investigation of the bribery supposed to have token place in tbe borough of Horsham , A poor and ignorant devil who takes fivo shillings to spend , it may be in bread for hU children , or in drink for himself , Is no doubt a menster in human form : but what shall bs laid of a rich and enlightened gtntleman , liberal in bis politics and a hater nf abuses , because be has always eloquently iaviigked against them , wbo takes not shillings but pounds to tbe hearth of indigence aad deliberately places before the eyes of poverty the tamptstionB which poverty cannot with equal deliberation refuse Y We desire to know whether gnoh a scandal bos
occurred at Horsham . We are sot satisfied with our own disbelief of the fact : we are not ftt fill clear tbat our disbelief will go very far In removing the public impression . The withdrawal of the qui tam action is a fatal mistake . Everybody suffers by it . The Ministers , the House of Commons , the bar , Sir Jebn Jervis , and Mr Newmarch . The trick has an unwhsleaoma savour , It will generate distrust , lower tbe character of public mes —a dangerous thing at all times—and strengthen the notion , now pretty general ) tbat humbug constitute ! » Urge ingredient in all our parliamentary proceedings . Lord John Rusaell carries on a crusade in tbe House of Commons against half-a-dCEH ) freemen in Derby ; hU Attorney-General is not bold enough to defy hia accusers to prove him guilty of practices inBnitely surpassing , if the charge bo true , in . gross culpability , all the offences which all the freenna of Derby have committed since they first took at election time five shillings to drink their candidate ' s health and to improve their owu .

Ak Ikpuhiatkd Ox—On Monday , about three o ' clock in the afternoon , an ox of the Highland breed , oTer-driven and excited , broke from its drov « ric the neighbourhood , of Newport Market , and after causing great alarm in Long-acre and Great Queen-street , found its way into Liacoln ' s-inn square , Here an attempt was made to stop its progress by a number of butcher boys , a crowd of spectators lending their aid , and rather increasing by their occasional advance and retreat the fury of the animal . The poor beast , after surveying its opponents for a _ few momenta , made a sudden rnsh upon the crowd in the direction of . Stone-buildings . In an instant tha spectators were fl / ing in every direction . The first person attacked by the animal w . ia the porter oi Lincoln ' s-inn
Hall , but he having had the presence of mind to cJose the iron gates eaeapad iiyary , the ox merely butting the iron rails with great iorce . A gentleman named Marrett , resident in the neighbourhood of Lincolu ' e-inn-fieldB , and who wafl entering thfl Bquare from Stone-buildinga , was not bo fortunate . Th « animal , defeated iu its attack on the porter , rushed upon this gentleman , who appeared paralysed by its approach , and steed with hia back agaioat the iron railings . The ox rushed upon him and butted him with great violence , one of the animal's horns entering bis left ( ample . He immediatel y fell sense-Jess . The animal then pnmi into Stone-building ?! where some unsuccessful attempts were made to ee *
cure it by means of ropeB . Mr Marrett was at odco picked up and conveyed is a perfectly senseless state to King ' s College Hospital , where , by a singular coincidence , he was reoognised by Mr Sodgwicb , th « houso surgeon , as an old sohoolfellow . The ox again escaping , passed through Chancery-lane , and ran down Holbom in the direction ot SmitMeld , tenously injuring several persons , and oauBing tbo greatest alarm . At length , after passing throug h several droves of cattle , it fortunately entered F « x and Knot » yard , a locality abounding in slaughter * , houses , and leaping over an iron bar imprisoned itself in a narrow court , where by means of ropes let down from the roofs of the houses , it was eventually secured atid slaughtered . 1

ENGLAND AND IRELAND . TO THE EDITOR OF TBE NOETHEBN STAR , g , __ Tbat from England has coina Ireland ' s degradation to a candid raind little need bo said ; and to tho blpo tel and prejudiced mach would be of no avail . Ths formation of society rieppnda upon kindred , sympathies , aud interests . Tho former being in their nature less complex , nothiug but associating with thtir Mlowe is noctBaary to excite them , 8 nd for peace and Cor war , instinctively nnd spontaneously , a bond of union is formed , tlavlrg participated In the pleasures of each others amuaemoolo and trials , and ia tho simple relationB of life and in the chace , the combat , and the dance , and song , aBd fcaBt , from jouth to age , the union is one of friendship . This is tbe union of families , and olans , and primitive kingdoms .
But whou BOCloty bocomea more denes this foeling of friendship glvoB way to one of interest , wnien in proportion to its justness is philanthropic , anticipating that friendly sympathies ohall again associate mankind . Ths lino of separation is yet untold , and It is a period of fraud , opproGuon , and blood—& period in which all tha pa 8 fiionfl , all tbo sentiments , all tho faculties of tho mind , have boon perverted for gain . It Ib the union of interest , a rillanous bond , full of dccfptten and fraud , and all manner of unoleanliness . Emphatically it is the bondage of selfishness , And this is what in now called civilisation . A union tbat holds society is bondage , every man hold , ing his fellow in suppioioD , every man Betting a value on his comrade . Friendship is measured by gold—for a sinister purpote tho hand is gr « Bped . Oh for a moment of thoflo good old times , when man in his primeval forest in friendship ffroepeJ In truth the hand of man .
Moo It is tho period of laws . To set bounds to cilfisli . ness , punish fraud , and determine rlgfetB—to protect itsdi from anarcby sad annihilation—society hero requires laws . Without thorn It oan have no prosperity , for with , out them it can have no protection . For friendship , justice , kindness , the charm and tbe virtues of primitive times , now bavn no place on earth ; that is ia sincerity ; tbere remain nothing but laws to render society
prosperous . At once then It must appear , of what vast importance laws are la this intermediate stata [ ior I cannot restrain myself from expressing my conviction , that a period V ? lll come when fidelity , and friendship , and vlrtuo shall talie tho place of laws , as a bond of union of eoslety , iu very deed ) . At once it must be seen tbe Utu of a people is determined by their laws , end hence the groat importance of laws being really the people ' * laws—laws adapted to their wants , circumstances , and prospects . And hince wo must see tho very canker at the core ia bad laws , and thence we can presume , and justly : Are a peopla poor , degraded , hopelces , stationary ; is the atmosphere of misfortune forever surrounding them—the cauBels bad lair . Laws , or rather the cajbrieo of a family tyrant , ia enough to blast a people . But woa to the land whose tyrant is & stronger woe—woe to the people who have fallen a prey to conquest .
Then do we find a people degraded , poverty stricken and h&pelcB 8 , Are they stationary , and all around them right in advance on the road of prosperity—have they fallen a prey to a conqueror , or have they lost thilr letrifliati . -G liberty—then nhat ehnll we blame , bat tbelr fate of falling a prey to a conqueror ? Nothing I can imagine , and nothing can redeem them , but tbo restoration of legislative' liberty . Notting- can save such a people bat the privilege of ascertaining thoir own 1 B . W 8 . For to perfect tho social fabric lawB aro all in nil to a people , and all history attests by the chaotic career of the human stream of life , without this power of ltgislc . ting for itself society cannot bo happy . For what is the history of man but the history of misfortunes ? No prophet ) nor eecr , nor sage , nor lawgiver , ever lived , sor over Shall , into whose heart shall enter the conception of the whole sympathies of man , nor into his head can flo ?? the perception of tbe law of man , —society requires it , und from eooioty only can it pruceed , All society only knows the law of man .
On these broad principles we can confidently assert Ireland ' s degradation hat come from its Norm on oppressor , and until » be has her legislative liberty prosperous she will nevr be , A cursory glance at her history gives fatal confirmation of the conclusion . Ken in their primitive state took possession of the earth without appropriating It , One step more and they took possession of it in tbe name and for tha mutual beutfit of a tribe . But still there , was no personal possesslo&a . It was common proporty . —eacb . to obtain hia share of Its produce having allotted duties to perform , from the chief down to the humblest of the tribe . TbU head at first fathers , next chiefs , and then kings . But still tho primitive compact was undiBnolved , or , at loast ,
only partially bo . For although the kingly prerogative was the way in which the compact was broken , otlll , in its origin , over its ona Bubjects , in practice this compact mainly prevailed . This king was elective ; they could not tolerate an irresponsible hold . Hereditary monarchy could not consequently exist , neither could personal estates , —all was for all . In this poiltlen Ireland was fonnd by England , As an auxiliary , a Norman bin ; went orer to an Irish king in war with another , » nd trus to tho character of bis race , —valorous , rapacious , and romorseloaF , —he determined tho fate of the war , and after that thought himself might aa well be king of Ireland . The idea was at once promptly executed , but it rf quired irenzratlonB to roallee it . It was long beforo tho Uinjrs of England wero more than nominally kings of Ireland .
To accomplish tho subjugation of Irelnnd , tbe ordl . nary conduct ot thecongueror was pursued when extending his dominion . A colony was planted In Ireland , a fruitful sonrco at all timoe , at the ocstof all justice , human snd diviae , and of disaster to tbe prior inhabitants . Tola colon ; was the central point from which dominion was extended — Inroad follows Inroad , confiscation , confiscation , till tbe soil of all Ireland is < ran « ferred to tho followers of ths invader—at least nineteen twentieths of it fell « o . And in so falling tbat which made It especially galling to the WbJi nation was , that tbe new poaseasoTB claimed the soil aa personal estates— 'hereby abolishing tfee primitive compact , and consequently by
Imposing new condition ! , exacting of them fresh ac knowledgnu ntB and sarvlccB . Uence , arose tbe remorseless and in"xtin { , 'ulsbablo hatred of tho Irish peasants to their land ! rds . Then as now , he only appeared on bis poaaeeeione to fall a rJotim te Jbe hatred of the priml . tive possessor of the Boll , Hence , tbe cry cf tbe Irish , when now turned out of their mud hovels— ' Did not our forefathers win this land from the forests , wilderness and fen , from a state of wildneeo to a state of cultivation ; bad he not then a more righteous claim on this soil th&s the tool of aa invader ? ' Tho ancient beads of them are annihilated , but the hatred of the Irish peasant etill pursuee aui will fcura with a meUBute Of JUBtlCC , till hlB claims ars attended te .
This oolony was the ruler of Ireland , whoever might bo plenipotentiary for the conqueror ; they were tbe loyal subjects—trusty servants and valiant soldiery , and by them tho justice that was administered , was administered . , Soon to them , and in the end hardly even to them , Ireland waB only prosperous , for it is tho evil ffite of vino , to bo GL'Jf . dcsfro / ed ftbatih Cod for tbat ) , Then , to these politlonl and judicial partialities , and theso &ggretslve depredations , tbe fire-brand of religious strife was tbrown in , exciting its envenomed hates . Alas ! alas !
te Iroland . More horrid than tbe fiery furnace of E / yp t , has been the furnace of tby afflictions . In thine own house—in thine own land . the foot , of the oppressor Ib on thee . But cheer up , and hope . For by the feeling ef excited justice in tho breaBt of the oppr&seed English democrat , and by the Strength of . tbineown devotion for thy deliverance , peace , Hberjy , prosperityaad happiness shall yet have their residence In tbe pleasant Isle—HioerniB , Tbe song of Joy shall yet mound from coast to coast , across a land at present so sad and desolate .
Oae word to Englishmen and I am gone—our way is clefir before ae . Either we can sanction ths deeds of ourforef th&rs , by being heirs of tbe offeoU of thoir op . prosglons , or we can oondemn their oppressions and re . store to our uttermost ability , the spoils of the wroBged out condemnation or oar acquittance is in our own honds . The choice Is with as . IF or by the natural moral law , do we Inherit the fruitB of oppression , we shall be punished for the oppression— 'the receiver ls > &t bad as the thief , ' It Is therefore criminal , if not to do justice to Ireland *—not to restore her what he cannot to do that measure of justice to bar in our power . But , without thisking of the punishment awarded to this crime—on motiTes of philanthropy , justice alone , let us seek to put Ireland in tbe road to prosperity and liberty .
Let us give to Irelaad what she loves so much , that we paid so deariy for—religions liberty , political liberty , and legislative liberty ; and with a goodwill on both sides , Ireland and England shall te as right and left hands in a grand iffort to civilise the world , J . B .
