Sat , —We , the Chartists of the Keighley district , believe ourselves to be possessed of sufficient judg ment to enable us to discern our real from our pretended friends . "With this full conviction , and with a wish that it should be distinctly understood that we are no flatterers , we Iteg to say that we have heard many of your speeches , read much of your ¦ writings , and examined your votes in parliament , and ire have ever found your speeches—your writings—and your votes—consistent and pointing to universal liberty , and social happiness ; and , we thank you , sir , for a ll your past services , in defending nghfcagalnst might ; and we hope that , by the aid of the mind , you have been instrumental in creating , that , ere long , your most fond expectations will be realised . Sir , -you have often appeared
proud in-calling us your political children , but it seems you can hardly confide in us at present , and we believe that you . have good and correct reasons for your doubts . Ton have fonnd with us that it is not every one that cries out the Charter ! the Charter ! that is to be confided in , but those only who know their duly , and are willing at all times to perform it "With this short digression we shall now , sir ,. come to the point In 1848 , at the farfamed Bingley riots , abont twenty of our friends there , were arrested , and sent to York Castle . "We had them all defended at the assizes , by able counsel , and we did not ask any individual out of the district , for a fraction towards the expenses . Besides this , we rendered a little assistance towards our friends in Bradford . "We also sent four or five
pounds to the "Victim Committee in London , with an understanding that it was the General "Victim Committee , and that the families of the Bradford prisoners would receive relief from that source , although we have since been informed that no money ever found its way from London to Bradford . Sir , ¦ we are sendingyou a little towards paying off Macnamara ' s bill , and if we have not sent our share , please to let us know how much we are short , and we pledge ourselves to make up the deficiency . Further , sir , we wonld recommend that a balancesheet be made out , setting forth what amount each town and district ought to pay , and we will remit
our share , with the . understanding that in future ¦ we sliall not be dunned for other peoples * debts ; and that after all is cleared off we" shall have a new beginning , and a fair understanding respecting money matters , and our future policy upon something like the following terms : — . Tilrst , that you shall not hold yourself responsible for ths payment of any money or monies which ought to be paid by the general body . 2 nd , that each town or district shall be responsible for its own acts and deeds . Thirdly , that those who will not take a part for the attainment of their political rights when the trade of the country is good , shall not be considered as Chartists when the trade is bad .
"With these remarks , and trusting that you will have the kindness to procure then : insertion in next Saturday ' s ' Star , -Believe us , sir , to remain , yours most sincerely , The Chabtisisofthe Kbighkt District

TO MB . W . EIDER . Sib , — I send you 17 s . for the unfortunate men that are suffering in gaol . Though I did not agree with their policy , and am more a social than a political reformer , I can sympathise with the unfortunate , whether they be political , social , or theological martyrs . It isapity , sir , that men-should suffer distress ; but if any , men deserve punishment I believe it is the ^ Chartists of this country for not supporting those who are suffering for their cause ; for according to ajl the information that Ihave had they have 3 een shamefull y neglected by their friends .

The 18 th of July , however , was an exception . At eight o ' clock in the morning we were sailing close to the Desertas , a group of mountainous islands , lying , north and : south , some thirty miles eastward of Madeira . They looked extremely beautiful in the quiet , soft , purple air of the summer morning The first of the group you come to is called Porto Santo . Detached from this , and l ying a mile or so to the north of it , you find a small rock jutting up in sharp fragments from the waves , and looking as if it were an old ruin flying from the larger island upon the ocean . Later still , the picture looked more beautiful—the day was full of loveliness —the water of a deep , rich blue—the Bky , the same
—save that just above the Desertas , there lay ' a few soft , feathery clouds—clouds of the purest whiteness snd most graceful outline—which seemed to . me like large swans that had fallen asleep in the light of the sun , and lay floating in their dreams above the waters . Until the sun went down , the eye rested nfon those lovely islands , and the beauty with whicfa they were encircled with delight—they sprang up with such grace and strength' in the sunny wilderness through which we moved , and reminded us of the ' old island' itself so quietly and solemnly . As night came on , the Bailors , grouped round . and about the foremast , sang in chorus , their songs of the battle and the storm . Rude and wild as it was ,
never did music delight me more , and yet it filled me with a sad delight . . How comes it , that in such circumstances , music is sure to waken always the recollections of the past—calling us back , like the whispering of Borne lost loved friend , to scenes , the flowers of which we can no longer gather , and the sunshine of which has faded , long since , into coldest twilight . At that moment—for the first time since bidding it farewell—I thought mournfully of my poor , sad , old country—thought of her until she appeared to rise up from the waters near me , and I saw her Round -Towers , her little grey
churchyards , with the little wooden crosses all mouldering there , and the white gravestones netted with the purple briar and ivy stalk , her lonely , shadowy , holy-wells , her mountains , with the grey eagle wheeling , and the grey cloud breaking into miBt against them—saw them all before me . But there is no use and little pleasure in striking upon tbia chord . Oh ! that 1 could lose sight of Ireland in my thoughts and dreams , until the light of the day ahd has been so long promised should waken me from my heavy sleep to a happier watching—waken me to see her , clothed in radient health , and . strength ; and beauty , and find her sickness and her sorrow for ¦
ever gone . The 18 th of July was the first , indeed I might say the only , interesting day we have had on board' her Majesty's sloop of war , the Swift . ' Since . then , unless I expect the island of Fuego , pne of the Canary Islands , of which we caught a glimpse a few days after—we have not seen a morsel of earth . Were it not for my books , our life here would be perfectly unendurable . From morning till night they keep us ' occupied . Fortunately I have nearly the whole of my little library , about 180 volumes with me , so that there is little fear of my running short , and being put on a limited allowance of literature—little fear of my being reduced to two chapters a ' day ~ -a canto for three suppers—four couplets a knot—or a duodecimo for a degree and a half ; with a son ? or
two by way of a relish . The weather ( with the exception of four or five days , at the most ) has been remarkably fine . "We have had frequent claims , however . A week previous to our crossing the line we were obliged to strike out of our course , by some five or six points , I believe , in consequence of very unfavourable winds prevailing . This sort of sailing brought us right into the middle of the Atlantic , where , on the 10 th of August , we fell in with "the Calypso-au English man-of . war , a very fine brig , mounting twenty-eight guns—on her way to Portsmouth from Valparaiso , with two millions of Califomian gold in charge . Both ships hove to—Capt . Aldham sent off some letters : of the prisoners , Mr . O'Brien was the only one who wrote a line ( it was merely a line , ) the rest of us being ' too late for the POSt . ' ' ' ;
Saturday , August the 11 th— We crossed the line . The event was celebrated with the usual solemnities . If I can possibly squeeze it into ' this despatch , I shall cut out the description of them I have written in my scrap-book—though it is scanty worth while , for it is a very , very , old story ; it has been told ten thousand times , and all the world knows it long ago . After this event , our voyaging—for a fortnight or more—was stupid in the extreme—sickeningly soa dead hot calm prevailed during all this . time . This was a frightful calamity 1 You cannot imagine how oppressive Ufe at sea becomes under such
circumstances , the calm without , above , around you , steals into you insensibly , pervades every ; fibre , sense , and organ ; acti like a potent opiate upon the entire system ; and leaves you-totally unfit to do anything else , hut lie down upon the poop and quarter-deck , and yawn at full length . A whiff or two came now and then , but invariably from a wrong quarter ; in consequence of which , the little way we made was in the . wrong direction , and that , too , by several hundred miles—at one time , about the 18 th of August , we were within 200 miles of the South American coast , five degrees south of the Equator .
. Wednesday night , August the 22 nd , we passed between the same coast and . the island of Trinidad , which , by throwing your eye over a good map , you will find it long .-10 .,- lat . 63 / This island you will not , of course , confound , with its namesake , famous I believe , for hurricanes , and - sugar ones also . The one I now notice with such a remarkable geographical distinction , is a miserable old rock , inhabited by wild pigs , who have it all to themselvesc ; ^ The day following , the captain issued orderir , placing us on a short allowance of water—two quarts a day , each' man—until we reached the Cape . Every ' hand ' on board comes under this enactment , which , like the Felony Bill of 1848 , puts an
end to pouting—to a great extent , at all event . Now , just fancy : with these two quarts you are supposed , not only to make the two ends of the day meet—that is , you are supposed not only to make your . tea in'the morning , and your tea in the evening out of it—but likewise and moreover , and of necessity , you are expected to make all the intermediate ends meet , which in the course of the twelve , and the twenty-four hours , may probably turn up , and require to be spliced—for the washing-basin , ; the shaving box , the tooth-brush , the dinner table—for all purpoBes you have the two quarts ; and were you aVbadly off wHh ' ths thirst as Dives himself is represented ; td bejlit .. would be all the same > to the purser—the ^ sorra a dhrop' more would you get ; Then , to make this , arrangement the more " p ltf HDtj

rough tossing , I felt no more inconvenience from it than I used to f eel on hoard one of the Cove steamers , gliding down on a bright summer ' s . day . I am not merely . In the best possible health , but wonderfully improving in looks ; at any rate the ' sea air is a superlative Kalydor , capable , I sincerely believe , of transforming a Thersites into an Adonis , if the former is only long enough out and gets anything like a respectable living . I am as brown as prepared coffee—and the equal of my moustachios is not to be found at the Horse Guards .
To save myself the positive trouble of shaving every two days , I have permitted them to . grow to extremes , and likewise with a view to avoid the dangers I should otherwise most probably run , of diminishing my lipsy nose , and chin , by several sma' slices , for I contend it would be as easy to shave in a cradle , with a fisberwoman of masculine energies rooming it during the process , as to do bo in ibis bit of a ship , which , however straight and swift its course may be , necessarily keeps up a semicircular oscillation , just in the same ' manner as a mouse-cage on the top of a street organ , when the boy is not touching it , and the mouse itself inclined to be playful is keeping the machine in motion according to it ' s own peculiar principles .
' As yet not the slightest hint has escaped from any quarter upon which I could build the smallest conjecture as to the intentions of the government in our regard . Indeed , none of a favourable nature exist at present , I should say ; and it may be that circumstances , which are now unforeseen , may alone give rise to such—so perfectly in truth is our fate concealed from us , that we know not whether we are to be detained in prison-rdr be set at liberty with a ' ticket of leave upon arriving at our destination . :. . . ..

The Thames . —The tide on Saturday and Sunday only exceeded the ordinary height of spring flows by a few inches , and although Battersea fields were , as usual at such times , flooded , yet we have heard Of no serious , inconvenience having been suffered in other parts of the river . The preparations to guard against the flood extended , however , along both banks of the Thames , even as high up as Richmond . ¦¦ „ " So firm has been the belief of wharfingerB , flour factors , corn merchants , malsters , millers , distil ; lers , and brewers , in the predicted inundation , that everything in the shape or grain and any other property that could be injured by the water , was removed to the higher stories of the buildings ; and men have been engaged for some days in erecting barricades and bricking . with cement , or planking up . with clay introduced between all doorways or

THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS . — NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS .
On Saturday last the ornamental water in St . James's and Regent ' s parks was covered with ice , and during the day , hundreds of men and lads ventured on it , notwithstanding that they . were told it waa extremely dangerous . The Royal Humane Society had icemen in attendance , provided with the necessary apparatus to rescue persons who might become immersed , and during the day several persons who broke through were extricated : and conveyed to the society ' s tent , where they received every attention ; one or two had narrow escapes , but fortunately there was no fatal accident . The ice , though covering the Serpentine , Hyde Park , and the long pond and round water , Kensington Gardens , was so fragile that . few had the temerity to venture on it ; At Peckham Fields , the Hackney Marshes ,-and Survey Canal , the ice was froto four to five inches in thickness , and all places : were thronged with skaters and sliders .
Fatal Accident in Richmond Park . —On Saturday last a fatal accident occurred in jPenn ' s Ponds , tvro large and'deep pieces of water situated halfway on the side of the road leading from Richmond to Ham . It appears that the two ponds , the largest of which is about half as broad as the Serpontine , and nearly a quarter of a mile long , wero thickly coated with ice . About eleven o ' clock some ten or twelve men were employed by Mr . J . Ellis , of the Star and Garter Hotel , Richmond , to obtain him a supply for his ice-cellar , and three men , named Wm . Powell , James Powell ( brothers ) , and Thomas Godden , who were on the pond , some yards from the side , were in the act of pushing a largo piece of ice towards the beach , when the ice on
which they stood broke with a loud crash , and they were all instantly immersed in deep water . James Powell and Thomas Godden were rescued in a halfdrowned state , but William Powell disappeared under the ice , arid his body was not recovered until an hour and a half afterwards . " .-.. ¦ The frost continued nearly the yhole of Sunday , arid at six o ' clock in the ' ¦¦ . evening the thermometer at the Royal Humane Society ' s reoeiving-house stood at thirty degrees . From noon till nearly four o ' clock , however , the sun shone most brilliantly , when the mercury rose as high as thirtyseven in Hyde Park , which caused the edges of the ice in the various parks tvthaw rapidly , rendering it exceedingly dangerous . Tho Royal Humane
Society , therefore , adopted every precaution that was possible to prevent accidents . -.. ¦;¦¦ St . James ' s Park . —About 2 , 000 skaters and sliders ventured upon tho ice in the enclosure of this park , whilst the banks wero literally crowded with persons witnessing tho sport .. The ice was only an inch in thickness , and many parts were broken to deter people from going on , but without success . In the early part ofthe day three persons were immersed , but were immediately rescued by the Humane Society's icemen . About three in the afternoon M . Soyer , the cook of the Reform Club , had a narrow escape of losing his life . . He was leading a ' young friend who had expressed a wish to walk on tho ico , when he fell through into sixteen feet of water opposite the Horse Guards . Iceman Martin got him out as soon as possible , and
conveyed him to the tent , where he was met by the surgeon to the society , who immediately placed him in a hot bath , and administered -a glass of whisky , which ho considers one of the best stimulants on such occasions ; After the lapse of a few hours M . Soyer was able to be removed to his own residence in a cab . Shortly after an accident occurred which caused a most painful excitement . Mr . Butler , of 8 , Theobald ' s-road , Grny'a-inn-lane , was in the act of crossing the ice , in the company of his wife , when theyboth fell into eleven feet of water . The man tried to pull his wife out , and save himself , but the more he tried the greater danger both were placed in by the breaking of the ice ., The icemen succeeded in rescuing both parties , but they were so much exhausted "that it was-feared both were dead , they having been in the water upwards * of four minutes . They were immediately removed to the'tent , and soon recovered sufficiently to be
removed . Whilst , these persons were being . attended to a cry was raised that a boy had fallen through the ice and had disappeared . The iceman went to the spot pointed out " , but no one could be seen ; the bubbling of the water , however , satisfied them that some person must bo below . They dragged the snot for some minutes , and at length they got hold of what appeared the lifeless body of a boy about fourteen years of nge . The usual means to restore suspended animation were resorted to by the medical gentleman ^ and after two hours the boy was able to give his name and address , which were W , Egan , 9 , Angel-court , King-3 treet , St . James ' s . ' / . Tite Serpentine , ; Hyde ; Park . —The average thickness of the ice on this river was not more than one inch , and owing to ^ the advice given ,: not more than 300 persons ventured upon tho river at any period . Several accidents oocurred i which , howover , were unattended by serious consequeuoes .
The Long Water , Kensington Gardens . —The skating club had their tent fixed on Sunday , " and including tho members , of tho cluh , there wore about 2 , 000 persona on . tho ice . The ice here is much firmer than in the other parks , and no accitookplace . . ¦ . ' ¦ . . The Round Pond . —Tho ice on this pond is very thin , and only 1 , 200 persons ventured on , but no accidents oocurred .-i ¦ , ; . -.. , , ^ : TnE ; Regent ' s Park . —The thermometci at this placo varied from thirty-three deg . to forty desr .
during the day . The we upon : the ornamental waters was exceedmgly rotten . -, r Boards indicating such were stuck up along the banks ^ notwithstanding , however , about . ; 10 , 000 : persons ' of . all grades , and both : sexes , ventured ' upon the ice , At one time about fourteen , lads and boys broke through into seven feet of water ; For sometime tho deaths of several appeared . inevitable ; but the icemen succeeded in getting thern ^ out . Several other ' persor ; s fell-in , but ; they were taken' out immediatel y in very in 8 tp < jo , and removed to tlieir homea .

Joseph Ady ; in TipPERART .-rrLast week the notorious Joseph Ady sent some of his friendly letters , post-paid , to several persons in Clochjordan , telling them that : ' ! on the : receipt of twenty shillings , he would let them hear of something greatly to their advantage , " but they were too knowing to be hoodwinked by this trap . . . -. , -.: Btonapabie ' s Poverty in Earlv Life . —M . Thiers , in his " History of the Consulate , " relates some very strange and previously unknown particulars respecting the early life and penury of Napoleon Buonaparte . It appears that after he had obtained a subaltern ' s commission in the French
service , and after he had done the state good service by his skill and daring at Toulon , he lived for some time in Paris in obscure lodgings , and in such extreme poverty that he was often without the means of paying ten sous ( 5 d . ) for hia dinner , and frequently went without any meal at all . He was under , the . necessity of borrowing small sums , and even worn out clothes , from his acquaintances ! He and his brother Louis , afterwards King of Holland , had at one time only one coat between them , so the brothers could only go out alternately , turn and turnabout . At this crisis tha chief benefactor of the future emperor and conqueror , " at whose mi g hty name the world , grew pale , " , was the actor Talma , who often gave-him food and money .
Napoleon s face , afterwards so famed for its classica mould , was , during this period of starvation , harsh and angular in its lineaments , with projecting cheek bonGs . His meagre fare brought on an unpleasant and unsightly cutaneous disease , of a type so virulent and malignant , that it took all the skill arid assiduity of his accomplished , physician , Corvisart , to expel it after a duration of more than ten years . The squalid beggar then , the splendid emperor afterwards—the threadbare habiliments , the imperial mantle—the hovel and the palace—the meagro food and the gorgeous banquet—tho friendship of a poor actor , the homage and terror of theAvorld—an exile and a prisoner—such are the ups and downs of this changeable life , such the lights and shadows of the great and mighty .
Elastic Grotesque . Faces . —Thousands of these amusing toys ( tens of thousands , perhaps , ) have been imported from Germany , and sold as gutta percha figures , but . there is not . a grain of gutta percha or Indian rubber in them . ; They are cast in glue ' and treacle , the composition of which printing rollers are made , which , is sluggishly elastic . Gutta percha is not elastic , and India rubber too elastic for the slow grave change of expression after a squeeze . These faces are . readily soluble , and in warm water soon melt , which cannot be done with either gutta percha or India rubber ; a touch of the tongue , where the added colour will not be removed to spoil the toy , will instantly betray its composition . ¦ _ Surely some of our ingenious modellers can , upon this hint , make them , and profitably too , at one-third of their present cost .
High Tides at Yarmouth . — The high spring tides of the last two days , increased by heavy gales of wind from the north-west , have l aid under water the towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft , and the whole of the surrounding country for miles . The lower flats of most of thdaouses are flooded to the depth of from three to' six feet ; and as a necessary consequence there has been a great destruction or property . Tho quay , the market-place ; and the streets of Yarmouth- are all inundated . The water over the bar at the mouth ' of the haven is twelve feet deeper than usual . ¦ ' Eleven vessels have
been driven on the sands , arid it ' ' is feared must go to pieces . Nor has the iriundation been confined to the immediate vicinity of -the * coast . Thewaters have extended far and wideover tho low-lyinir pasture lands around . The bridge near Lowestoft has been , swept away , and -the railway trains have been unable to proceed eastward beyond Reedham , 11 miles from Norwich j where the lines to Yarmouth and Lowestoft meet . ¦ Every exertion has been made to save property and life , but'the lossAyhich has been caused must be very serious in extent , and and will be felt severely-, ¦ . - ¦;• - ¦; .
