nf twenfcv-eig ht , eighteen " keen mn by the Ited-Republicans ; an uiistakeable angary of that still greater and Snclasire victory which mil be gained by that Darty at the nest general election ; unless , . , Jji fyQY are driven to have recourse to rter means than the ballqt-DOX , and thereby ° cmevc an easier triumph . That such a contingency may arise , ls . very bable , seeing the desperation of the several irtioHS of Ordermongers . It appears , that % . the first stage of the panic , occasioned b y rte trinuip h of the Parisian Reds , the
misera-We Prince of Specials proposed to resign his Sice , and secure his precious carcase , by wine » retreat to Ms congenial haunts- the hlk and brothels of London . From that ten he was dissuaded by those , who using liai as a tool / were afraid of the crisis his reacnation would necessarily have caused . TrcDibling in their skins , and shaking in their Aces , the chiefs of the Ordermongers hastily siembled . All declared their determination to withstand the " barbarians , ' andg ' rre their heartv support to the President Special ;
curions enough , however , Mole , Thiers , and BebbveR , declined the responsibility of taking office . Hole pleaded old age , —a lioary and impenitent sinner , is the saddest sight under the sun ! Tmebs pleaded the state of his health—the lies he has told , and the blasphemies he has uttered against liberty , having afflicted him with a cancer in the tongue . Bebrtee , the legitimist , appear * to have been the most honest , ( if honesty and royalism can have any connexion ) , seeing that he demurred to en < ra » e in the service of the Kupublic , as
he openly desires its destruction . Ihe conspirator ^ however , cordially agreed that they must all unite more closely than ever , and enforce more rigorously than ever , the system of compression , to keep down the dreaded Bed Republicans . The Chiefs of the Ordermongers having refused to take office , the Ministerial crisis , which had existed for at least forty-eight hours , only resulted in a mere chopping and changing of the third-rate tools , and puppets , ¦ who have for some time past done duty as Ministers . The fact is , that Thiers and
Mole are afraid to take office . They are hated , not merely by the Proletarians , but also by the great mass of the bourgeoisie , and their seizure of the reins of power would vastly accelerate the inevitable doom of the existing system . Before taking office , Thiers , Mole and Co ., desire that Buoxapakte , and his Ministry $ > f contemptibles , should make all smooth , by annihilating the Republic Press , and destroying Universal Suffrage . Could these acts of treason be accomplished without causing a new Revolution , France , gagged and chained , would offer an easy prey to the designing villains , who would then step in to restore Monarchy , and re establish therewith all the enormities "which it has been the object of sixty years of Revolution to destroy .
Those whom the Gods mean to destroy they £ rst drive mad ; and it is evident that such is the present position of the ruffianly Ordermongers . If there -was a last chance left for those scoundrels saving themselves from the punishment due to their manifold crimes , it was by their adopting a policy of conciliation , and resolving upon a course according with the allegiance they owe to the Republic . But , blind to the teachings of History , insensible to the lessons of experience , unconverted by the handwriting on the wall so strikingly made manifest by the Paris election , the impenitents
and impitoyables have sealed their own doom , by engaging in a " war to the knife , " not merely against the Reds , but against also the xery foundation of then own temporary authority . Yes , their organs in Paris , and in London , lave announced , that all shades of the Ordermbngers are agreed , that Universal Suffrage must be destroyed . " There is no other way , " say they , " to save society . " The hypocrites mean that there is no other way to save their own unholy usurpations ; their cunningly devised system of chicanery and fraud , by which they extract
their wealth and luxuries from the plundered producers . Rightly , " Society" is a term only applicable to a state of things in which all ¦ woald labour for the common good , and all reap the natural fruits of such labour . But fhe so-called " society , " existing at present , i 3 a name for a state of things in which the mas 3 of the people are helots , and the rest idlers , or employed at work inimical to the interests of the wealth-producers ; in which lazy drone 3 , and brigand wasps , by the cunning devices of rents , profits , and taxes , ' suck the
honey from the working bees . Not to destroy , but to establish a veritable state of society—a state based on the righteous law—Do ye unto others as ye would they should do vntoyou , is the mission of the Red Republicans . To conserve the present system of robbery and murder , and oppose the triumph of a just and , therefore , veritable state of society , is the work to which ihe Ordermongers have pledged themselves . They will fail ; and their recourse to Treason and Terror , undisguised usurpation and sabre-sway , will but hasten then * downfall , and ensure their destruction .
Behold the programme of these conspirators , as vouched for b y their London organs : — The Ordennongers propose to 1 , Raise the caution-money- of the public journals from 24 , 000 , to 50 , 000 francs ; 2 , Impose a , stamptax of four centimes on each journal ; 3 , The transportation to Algeria of all persons convictedof belougingto secret societies ; 4 , Modifications of Universal Suffrage . It is at present all but impossibl e to establish a democratic journal , owing to the large amount of the caution-money ; it will be thoroughly so , should the amount be raised
to the enormous sum of fifty thousand francs . "Bile the caution-money is intended to prevent the establishment of new journals devoted to the Democracy , the imposition of the proposed stamp-tax , is designed to kill the democratic journals at present existing ; or , at least , to so reduce their circulation as to render them comparatively powerless . Of all forms in which Democracy can present itself the enemies of justice most dread its development in the shape of a free and honest press .
The guilty wretehes , like Macbeth , appalled at the appearance of Bakquo ' s ghost , cry , with whitened lips , and gasping breath , " Take any shape but that ! " Hence , in all countries , the means employed by the enemies of the people to fetter or corrupt the pres 3 . In Russia , the knout and Siberia ; in Austria , courts-martial and dungeons ; in France , gagging laws of the most tyrannical description ; and in England , the Taxes ox Knowledge . This last device is the most
conning , crafty , and diabolical © f all . Wherever the censorship exists , there is nourished a hatred of the ruling powers "which , sooner or later , is sure to result in an explosion fatal to the tyrants . Wherever that censorship is enforced fcy atrocions punishments—as in the case of Russia—the Government is made odious , not merely to every one of its own people not absolutely steeped in bratishness , but also to the mass of mankind . A war
against Russia—that is , against the Russian despotism—would be hailed , by the people of Europe generally , -with a display of enthuaasm not witnessed since the time of the crusades . But observe how differently works the iystem of-press WStdctionv established b y the

rulers of this " nation of . shopkeepers . " Nominally , 'the Freedom of the Press is enjoyed by Englishmen , and « , in reality , enjoyed- ^ like all other good things in England—by those who are rich enough to pay for it . The Press is free enough for the aristocracy and middle classes ; but they have a monopoly of that freedom . The mass of the people " cheated "—to use the words of Otway " with a show of liberty , which yet they ne ' er must taste of , " find themselves almost as much excluded from the benefits which the Press s / ioa / d confer , as they could be under a Russian censorship . What matters it to the Proletarians that no censor ' s scissors deface
the London daily journals , when not one of those journals but is the enemy of the political and social rights of the masses ? Of the weekly newspapers , only one other ( the " Weekly Tribune ' ) , besides this , can be de-Scribed as being really devoted to the cause of the veritable people . Withoutcheap newspapers —and especially cheap daily newspapers—the people are worse offtthanthey would be if the Press had no existence . As regards foreign affairs , while two or three of the daily , and some of the weekly , journals give their support to the " Moderate reformers , " and liberal shams of the continent , the most influential of the dailies
are the champions of every truculent tyrant , and every system of oppression , fraud , and pr ivileged crime . The most Fandeihonical incarnation of Miltox ' s dreams pales before the consummate villany of the masked assassins by whom tho Ordermongering journals of this country are directed . " Foreigners "—having been assured that we possess a free press , judge of us by the " Times , " and the very name of our country stinks in the nostrils of the nations who confound the English people in general with the
ruffianly articles of our " free press . " This very design of stifling the Democratic Press of France , by a stamp-tax , was first suggested and urged upon the French tyrants , by the infamous daily journals of this Metropolis . Several months ago the "Morning Chronicle " remarked that French statesmen were , after all , bnt wretched bunglers , compared with those of England , who , by a simple tax , effected more in the way of making the press anti-democratic , thau could be accomplished by the most Draconian laws . " Continue , "
observed the * Chronicle , ' " to permit an unstamped press in France and yon will have cheap journals , and the extension of Socialism —no matter how severe the laws , for there will be no lack of fanatics ready to def y all pains and penalties , even martyrdom . But let another course be taken , let the stamp be re-imposed , and the cheap journals forced to rise their p rice , the poor will be unable to purchase them , and they will perish . " And when , three months ago , it was rumoured that the French Ministry intended to bring in a bill to impose a tax of four centimes upon the journals , Lord Palmerston ' s organ , the liberal " Globe" set forth the real aims of the French Ministry in the following terms : — " One of the objects of the bill is evidently to check the circulation of the small
Democratio-Socialiat journals , most of which are sold at one sou ( about one halfpenny English . ) It is by the lowness of their price that these journals have become dangerous . With a stamp duty of nearly onesob they could not be sold for less than two sovs , and this increase would diminish their circulation one half . " As to the Times , I need not say that it has all along denounced the Democratic press of France as a pest to be got rid of by any means . Immediately after the triumph of the Parisian Reds —before even the votes were proclaimed at the Hotel de Ville—the correspondent of the Times announced the intention of Buonaparte
and the Ordermongers to propose a law to fetter the Pres a la Anglais . Indeed , the first announcement made to the French people of the intentions of Buonaparte and Co ., was conveyed to them on Saturday last by the arrival of Friday ' s "Times . " In spite of the most diabolical laws ; almost daily seizures and weekly prosecutions ; in spite of enormous fines and sentences of imprisonment—amounting to even a score of years in the case of more than one democratic editor ; in spite of wholesale " suspensions " during a " state of 1
siege ' twice proclaimed in the course of a few months , —the Republican press has lived , flourished , and undermined the power of the betrayers and brigands , who for the present afflict France with their rule . What force could not effect , is now to be attempted by the British system of taxing the press ; and connecting with journalism a system of property qualifications . Disastrous for the French people , disastrous for the Human Race , would be the results were such a system firmly . established . But that no one need fear . These
desperate attempts of dying tyranny to prolong its existence , are the sure precursors of the monster ' s final and fast-approaching doom . A law to transport members of secret societies may be madea frightful instrument of proscription . A Cjiexu , and a De ia Hodde , have only to swear , that any man , or number of men , belong to secret societies , and if a jury will convict , the work is done . Under such a law , worked b y the police agents of the government , ahoals of citizens , guilty » f the crime of Eed Republicanism , may be torn from their homes , and consigned to death by torture in Algeria .
It is impossible to discuss the intended modifications of the suffrage until brought forward in a definite shape . Enough , that * ny modification will be a violation of the constitution , and treason to the Republic . The constitution declares , that the suffrage is , and shall be , universal and direct . Any curtailinent . or the substitution of indirect for direct suffrage , would be treason ; and if perpetrated , or even attempted , may the doom of " traitors , " fall with pitiless severity on the betrayers of their country , and enemies to their race . I pray my readers to take note of this fact—a fact confirmed by the history of all nations—that , although whlie the privileged classes are loud in their declaration *
of " loyalty , " as long as institutions and laws are framed and worked for their own exclusive benefit , none are so ready as themselves to turn " rebels " on finding that there is even a chance of those institutions being employed to afford protection to the masses . Crouching to the people after the glorious revolution of February , the privileged olasses of France dared not gainsay the institution of Universal Suffrage . Presently , finding that the peop le were as foolish as ever , in holding out the hand of reconciliation to irreconcilable foes , the said privileged gentry set about scheming and conspiring to turn Universal Suffrage to their own account . Actins on the ignorance of the peasantry , they were
successful in inducing the people to stultity themselves , by returning a majority of royalists to the firgfc assembly . Even that assembly did not dare to refuse to inscribe the right of Universal Suffrage on the tablets of the constitution . The " 10 th of December" followed , when the people committed the terrible mistake of electing that imperial ape , Loms 3 Tapoi . eO ! t instead of Ledru Hoixik , or Raspah ,. Such a suicidal use of the franchise encouraged the privileged conspirators to hope that Universal Suffrage might be made the means of perpetuating their power , and even establishing a more grinding tyranny than France has known since the reign of Louis XIV . The
election of the second Assembly , which resulted in greatly strengthening " the Mountain , " shook the confidence , but did not absolutely dispel the hopes , of the arisrtocrats . Those hopes have been finally shattered , by the late elections . The Ordermongers no longer doubt that which must be evident to all Europe , that if they permit the continuance of Universal Suffrage , the general election of 1852 will result in giving the majority to the Red Republicans . To prevent that consummation " so devoutly to be wished" for by all the peoples of Europe , the " friends of Order "—the " honest and moderate" traitors—are at this moment in full conspiracy against the Constitution .
A few months ago , they were loud in their praiBes of Universal Suffrage , because , so far , Universal Suffrage had enabled them to persecute Republicanism in the name of the Republic . Sow , they denounce Universal Suffrage as an accursed thing * to be got rid of by fraud , if possible , and by force , if necessary . Finding that Universal Suffrage threatens to , ere long , deprive them of the power to play the part of tyrants , they forthwith turn rebel * , and make war upon the right to the exercise of which they owe their present political existence . Since the foregoing remarks were written , further information of the conspiracy of the Ordermongers has been made public through the medium of the " Times . " In that journal of this day ( Thursday ) ,

it is stated that the . French ministers afe inconstant communication with the ohirfsof the legislative majority , to obtain the agreement of all , preparatory to introducing the measures affecting the Press ; the Suffrage , < fec ., &o . ' In' addition to the measures above commented on , it appears . that the conspirators are manufacturing a bill affecting juries , to modify the number of voters necessary to a verdict of guilty ; a bill to abolish not merely ordinary public meetings , but even electoral meetings : and some sort of Alien Bill . Besides these avowed projects , " rumours are circulated "—by the " Times , " preparatory ,, no doubt , to actual deeds , that the National Assembly is to resolve itself into a Constituent Assembly , and in this new character to revise the Constitution ; the revision to include the prolonging of the President ' s tenure of office , the establishment of two chambers instead of one , &c , &o . Thus r day by day , the designs of the rebels
bceoino more clearly revealed . The worst has yet to be told . It is believed that those treasonable acts will drive the people into premature insurrection . Buonaparte , TniERs , Mole , Goizot , and the rest of the infernal gang ( any milder epithet would not adequately describe them ) calculate on such a result . They hope , they pray for it . Why so ? Because should an insurrection explode , and should the people be conquered , the assassins in power will put into execution their long cherished project—that of consigning the Proletarians to a second St . Bartholomew massacre . I tell you that the design of the fiends , who at present " " dominate over France , is to slaughter every kuown Democrat and Socialist . In proof of this I could , if I had room , quote a column or two of the most diabolical outpourings from the Ordermongering journals , but I must contine myself to two or three liries only , from the Government journal , the " Patrie : " — . "Do not despise the sword . Contempt of force is foolish . The ENEMr within mug * be DESTttOYED . The sword is HOLY . " A word to the Chcnus of Chartism . Behold a fit subject for the lightning of your indignation , the thunder of your wrath . But you are silent . You speak out only to denounce " bloody democracies . " So be it . The people will judge you . For my part , I swear , that so long as I can wield a pen , 1 will unmask the criminals who force the people , in spite of themselves , to defend by violence those natural rights which they desire to develope by moral means alone . If blood should again flow in France , on whom will rest the fearful responsibility ? On whom but the conspirators who are at this moment plotting to destroy the last vestiges of the liberties achieved by the Revolution of February ? Worse still , those conspirators , as I have shown , thirst for the blood of the democrats , and desire to drown the Republic , in a red sea drawn from the people ' s veins .
These Ordermongers are very far from being fool 9 , and must know , that the lesson they are at go much pains to teach the people , will not be forgotten by their pupils . Woe to them if the Proletarians , on the occasion of their next victory , act upon the formula of the " Patn ' e "—that , to save France , " the enemt within must bo destroyed !" It is my earnest prayer that : the French people —the noblest people on the face of this earthmay be saved from the dire necessity of again appealing to force in defence of their rights ; but should it be otherwise—should the traitors in power bring about civil convulsion , then may they reap the full and richly-deserved reward of their diabolical treason and atrocious crimes . The Siecle , of Wednesday , contained the following : —
Yesterday morning , at eleven o ' clock , pickets of the Gendarmerie . JIobile were marched to Hie prisons of the Abbaje and Ckerclie-Midi , in order to form an escort , for the soldiers who are to be transported to Africa for their Republicanism . From the prisons these unfortunate men were taken to the terminus of the Lyons Railway , by which they proceed to Chalons , and thence by the steamers on the Saone and the Rhone to the Mediterranean . Several of the barracks of the capital have furnished their contingent : among others that of the 30 th Itegiment , from which a sergeant-major , a corporal , and a private have been removed . At the moment whei the men left the Abbaye the peeple assembled , bourgeois , and workmeu , and eagerly deposited in the kepis of the soldiers all the money thej could collect , and which , though the quarter is a very poor one , amounted to a very considerable sum . The hawkers who were in the streets presented the men with some of their merchandise ; it was a general outburst of feeling . Some cries wereraisedof' Vive la Rcpublique .
Think you , - the comrades of these men transported to Africa for their republicanism are indifferent to the sufferings of their brothers ? Not so . Reflect on the ' scene above described ; connect therewith the deputation of soldiers to deposit immortelles at the graves of the buried combatants for Republicanism ; and , lastly , remember the votes given by the military majority to the Red candidates in the late struggle . Reflect on these facts , and , Brother Proletarians , you will not doubt of the ultimate and speedy triumph of the good cause . Vive 14 France ! Vive la Repdblkjue—Demo-CRATIQUE El SOCIALE !

MERTniB Tydvil . —A meeting was held last Sunday evening to take into consideration the propriety of adopting a petition , similar to the Manchester petition , and all the members were of opinion that every branch , throughout the kingdom , ought to do the same . The secretary had instructions to write to SirBenjamin Hall , to know if he would present the petition to the House of Commons , for the members were not aware of any other member of that house who took such delight in presenting petitions in connexion with the Land Company , particularly if they , came from the grumblers . A very large portion of the Land members are completely cast down and their hopes vanished , by reading the notice in the Star , of Mr . O'Connor ' s intention of windini ;
up the affairs of the Land Company ; but they are still in hope that he will commence a new company , and not bother the despotic government with legislation , for they have greater confidence in Mr . O'Connor than all the governments of Europe put together ; but the only mode of clearing the Company of all the poisonous scorpions is to wind up and we are of opinion that nane of the above characters will join the next company , for every brancli have had a chance of knowing them . A subscription has been commenced here for the Honesty Fund , aud next week we shall remit the amount subscribed . We trust Mr . O'Connor will pay us a visit during his intended tour this spring . Cheltenham . —At a general meetin ? of members
held at the Temperance Hotel , at which an united feeling of honour and respect for Mr . O'Connor prevailed , and at which a motion that the Company be wound up was negatived by more than two to one , the following resolutions were carried : — " That we have the utmost confidence in the ability and integrity of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., and the practicability | ofbringingtheNationalLand Company to a successful issue , and respectfully request that he will do his best to get the Company enrolled , before he seeks for power to wind it up , and that he will on no account transfer the property of the Company to other hands without the consent of the members , as we fear , that in the event of his so doing , the hypocritical fourth estate ( the press )
may make a handle Ot It lor the purpose Of detenu ^ us from starting another , which we hope to do if they will not let us carry the objects of this Company out . " " That we petition the House of Commons to legalise the National Land Company , instead of passing a bill to wind it up . " " That the members and other friends be requested to subscribe , and invite others to do the same , to make up the loss to Mr . O'Connor in the late trial for libel , and that the meeting adjourn until Monday evening next , at eight o ' clook . " Lbigh . —At a meeting held on the 18 th instant , Mr . Roylance'Hamblett in the chair , the following resolution was proposed , seconded , and carried unanimously : — " That this meeting , considering
the position of the National Land Company ' s affairs , is of opinion that they should be wound up as soon as possible , and respectfully request Mr . F . O'Connor to use his best endeavours for that purpose , feeling confident that it cannot be brought to a successful issue if carried on ; and further , that it is superfluous to continue the services of the whole of the Directors . " Lambeiit . —At the last monthly meeting of the Land members of the above branch , held at Mr . Side ' s house , the following resolution was passed unanimously : — "That we call on the four Director ? , Messrs . Doyle , Clark , M'Grath , and Dixon , to resign at once , seeing that their services are not required any longer . ' ^ The above resolution was passed on Sunday evening week last . I requested Mr . Side to send it to the Star for insertion , and we were surprised at not seeing it published . V \ o suppose Side did not send it . —H . Edwards , S , New Weston-street , Snows-fields , Bermondsey . — [ Tlie which has
above is the only copy of the resolution reached this oflBce . —Ed . N . S . Kirkaldy . —At a general meeting of members , held on the 9 th inst ., in the Meal Society ' s ilall , Links , the following resolutions were agreed to : " Thatas the Court of Queen ' s Bench is—to all appearance—determined to resist the complete registration of the National Company , thereby retarding its progress to a successful issue , we , the members of the Kirkaldy br anch , earnestly call upon Mr . O'Connor to wind up the affairs ol the Company , and thereby relieve himself of the heartless persecution constantly levelled at him by our oppressors . " " That while we desire the dissolution of the Company , we are perfectly satisfied as to the practicability of the small allotment system , so nobly advocated by Mr . O'Connor , and are convinced , that with a more limited number of persevering progressionists , that patriot would soon demonstrate the value of free labour when applied to the cultivation of the soil .

DISSOLUTION OF THE LAND COMPANY . TO THB EDITOR OF THE NORTHKHN STAR . Sir , —Ever since it was known that application to Parliament was to be made to pass a bill to dissolve and finally settle up the affairs of the Land Company , the members of this branch have been setting their minds to work how they could best do justice to themselves and the persecuted projector of the scheme . ; In order to avert the calamity : of placing Mr . O'Conuor in a position in which he cannot carry out his darling project without having again to fall back upon the people , and in doing which it is not very likely he would succeed . The members here are all but unanimous to make a present of their shares in the Company to Mr . O'Connor , and this they think would convince the world that the people of our country will do justice to those who
labour for their benefit . Some few , indeed , I may say , a good many ,. are of opinion that something ought to be done for Dr . M'Douall and Mr . Ernest Jones ; but the general opinion is , a recommendation of them for Mr . O'Connor's consideration is only necessary . I have gathered this information from individual members , and I have reason to think from the tone and temper which has been expressed , the first meeting held by the branch will show that it will not allow the aristocratic House of Commons to make a cipher of Mr . O'Connor . I thought it right to band you . this note , in order to make known the opinion of the members here ; I hope the same will be general ; and if such be acted upon , it will give the enemies of the rights of the people such a blow as will : suffice to alarm them for the coming hereafter . Yours respectfully ; - Aberdeen , March 18 th , John Smart .

THE HONESTY FUND . TO MB , WILLIAM RIBEH . Bury , Lancashire , March 18 th . Sib , —The enclosed , you will perceive is a postoffice order for 12 s . 5 d ., which we send you for the Honesty Fund ; 11 s . 5 d . are the contributions of a few of the Land members of this branch , and the remaining Is . is tho contribution of T , Gillobrand , nearBolton . The almost unparalleled trials and persecutions which Mr . O 'Connor has had to endure many years , especially those relative to the Land Company , prove that the designs of hi 8 enemies are " To ruin him with expenses yand also , if possible , todestroy
' his popularity with the working classes . But in our opinion , those trials , < fcc , prove Mr . O'Connor to be a real and disinterested patriot . We , therefore , deem it . our duty , to earnestly call upon tho land members , and Chartists generally of this town ^ tp come forward and join us with contributions to the above fund , and thereby show his enemies that we are determined to prevent them from accomplishing their designs ; also , that our confidence in Mr . O'Connor is not in the least shaken , and that we are capable of distinguishing the disinterested patriot from such a mercenary trader in politics as a Bradshaw .

^^ m — - — DR . M'DOUALL . Brother Democrats , —The Victim Committee of the Manchester locality wish to call the attention of all true democrats to the following remarks : —At the release of the Chartist prisoners , from Kirkdale Gaol , the Victim Committee appointed for their sup . port , ceased to exist . That Committee very wisely placed the Doctor oh the same footing as the other prisoners—viz ., by allowing theDoctor ' s family five shillings per week . The Doctor ' 6 case was re-considered . We knew that the Doctor was still in prison , suffering for the advocacy of our principles , and thst bis family was left unprovided for ; and we believe it is the hounden duty of the Chartist body , to support and protect them during bis
imprisonment . Under these views , another Victim Committee was appointed , and since the 13 th of November , 1849 , we have been able to remit one sovereign per momh . This has been collected from a few friends but we are sorry to say that our funds are ex hansted , and unless friends in our own locality , and the surrounding districts , bestir themselves , we shall not be able to remit to the Doctor ' s family even that small pittance . Chartists of Manchester and its vicinity , to you we appeal ; you who have read in the ' Northern Star' the distressed condition of the Doctor's family ; you who have contributed so generously to the Kirkdale prisoners . It is you to whom the Doctor looks to be friends and
sympathisers with the prosecuted—to be fathers to his dearly beloved children , to provide for his wife—the choice of his heart—you who love your wives and children , will you allow the Doctor ' s innocent ones to suffer hunger and thirst ; when so small an effort on your part . would relieve and cheer the law-made widow ? We think we hear the echo No , we will do our duty , our mites shall be remitted . ' If so , this appeal of the committee will not be in vain . We will cheerfully perform our duty , if you do yours . Donations or subscriptions will be thankfully received by the treasurer—Robert Shawcross , 15 , Chataworth-street , Boundary-lane , Caorlton-uporc Medlot'k , Manchester .
The committee are in attendance , every Sunday evening ) in the People ' s Institute , Heywood-3 treet , Ancoats . Robert Shawcross , treasurer . Samuel Jones , secretary . P . S . —We are glad to announce the receipt of four shillings , from John Gaskill , Levenshulme .

WANDSWOItTH . — Omnibus Racing . — James Turner , badge No . 2 , 669 , driver for Robert Dackham of tho omnibus No . 6 , 741 , and James Page , badge No . 9 , 689 , driver for Richavd Binder of the omnibus 6 , 581 , were summoned before Mr . Beadon , at the instance of Inspector Coleman , of the Clapham section of the B division of police , for furiously driving in the Wandsworth-road to the danger of passengers . The omnibuses running between Wandsworth and the city have been generally proverbial ior civility and 3 teady driving , but some short time since Mr , Binder and his foreman D . ickham ( who was a man much respected by the Wandsworth gentlemen ) parted , and Mr . Dackham was supplied with the means of furnishing an omnibus and horses on his own account , and hence the
opposition arose that brought about the present proceedings . —Mr . T . Fox Cross , an accountant , living at the Courland , Wandsworth-road , proved that on the evening of that day-week , about half-past seven o ' olock , he had just left his house when he heard a vehicle coming along at a tremendous rate , and presently two omnibuses passed him ; they were both " swinging" in a fearful manner , and he was so certain that Dackham ' s omnibus would turn ovor , that , to avoid being crushed , he ran back to his gato . Dackham's omnibus went three or four yards further when two of the wheels went on the path and two on the road , for about twenty-four yards ( as he had since meassred ) when the coachman fell off ; but whether he fell between the horses or not he was not able to state . The horses being uncontrolled went on a little further at the same
furious pace , when the omnibus turned over : had it came in collision with the other , both must have been upset , and several persons killed . There were two other persons on Dackham's omnibus besides the driver . He saw another person in the road who had fallen from some part of it . There was plenty of room for Binder's omnibus to have passed . Both omnibuses were going at full sixteen miles an hour . At tho time Dackham ' s omnibus got on the curb Binder ' s pulled up because of the screaming of the passengers . —Mr . Beaden fined Dackham ' s driver 40 s ., or one month ; and Binder ' s driver was committed for a month , but without hard labour . — On the intercession- ef Mr . Gilham , Page's sentence , who had driven for twenty years , and bore a high character , was altered to 60 s ., or two months . —Both fines were paid .

Clarke , were discovered . The prisoner was then
given into custody , and upon a further examination a bottle of brandy and some lace were found concealed in a petticoat near her bed . In the course of searching the prisoner at the police station , she was found in possession of duplicate keys to the wardrobes , and upon an inspection of the property they contained , Mrs . Clark discovered that she had been robbed to a considerable extent , and that valuable dress lengths of velvet and satin had been entirely spoilt by pieces having been cut off them . A portion of black satin belonging to one of these was discovered amongst the things in the prisoner ' s box , and she had had the impudence to have a bonnet made up for herself , of a part of the rich velvet cut off . The keys of the wine cellar wore
kept in the wardrobes , and upon looking over the stock of brandy , fifteen bottles were missing , Prisoner owned the bonnet and several of the other articles as her own , declaring that she could prove she had bought them , and accounted for the possession of tho brandy by stating that it had been given to her while the cholera was about , and before she had entered Mr .

He , however , was able to walk home , but in three or four hours afterwards he died from the injury he had received . Mr . Woolf' cross-examined the witnesses , and called ' highly respectable parties , to Pro . Y . that the accused was generally speaking a mild and inoffensive man . —Mr .

The discovery of an entry having been effected was made by Brand , 199 S , who while on duty saw that a pane of glass had been taken out of one of the windows of the church , the opening thereby made being sufficiently large to admit of the introduction of a boy . Ho ( the
officer ) immediately made a communication to Mr . Nightingale , the clerk , and on both of them going over the sacred edifice they found two of tho church doors open ; they also discovered in a closnt connected with the building the box , from which the whole of the contents—supposed to amount to about fifteen shillings—had been taken . The prisoners were ultimately taken into custody by the . constable Brand , who felt satisfied that they wpre the guilty parties . They had been charged before under nearly similar circumstances , and two of them were convicted . The juvenile delinquents were asked what they had to say , and each accused the other of being the instigator of the robbery . They admitted having shared the plunder . They were all committed to Newgate for trial . =

Appalling Accident ai Clifton . — An accident of a most frightful , character occurred on Tuesday morning last , by which a young lady , Miss Mary Craven , daughter of one of the most eminent solicitors in this neighbourhood , and only 17 years of ago , lost her life . It appears that for some time past Mr . Craven , with his family , had been residing at Clifton , and this morning the deceased was called about seven o ' clock by her maid-servant , soon after which she went out , as was her usual custom , and proceeded over Clifton Down towards St . Vincent ' s Rocks . The Down is on an elevation of upwards of 300 feet , on the summit of the wellknown Clifton Rocks , and commands one of perhaps the finest views in the world . It is , accordingly , much
resorted to by visitors . The deceased must incautiously have approached too near tho edge of the rocks , and she was precipitated to the bottom . She was seen in tho act of falling by a woman named Emma Edwards , who resides in a cottage under the rocks . The unfortunate lady , she states , endeavoured to save herself by catching at some projecting points of the rock , but her efforts were unavailing . Two men who were walking at the foot of the rocks also witnessed the accident , and hastened to her assistance , but sho was quite dead . Her skull was completely beaten in on the right side , and her person altogether frightfully mutilated . These dreadful accidents are unfortunately of but frequent occurrence at this ipot . It is not many months sinoo we . had to record the death of a clergyman of the church of England , the Rev . Mr . Hicks , who fell from thasamespot , called " Lion's Point , " and was
killed ; and a short tune before that , again , a young lady shared the same fate . The Society of Merchant Venturers have erected largo posts , warning persons against approaching too near the edg « of the rocks , but it would be much safer it there were an iron railing running along the lummit of the cliffs , as , amongst the fashionable visitors who resort in such numbers to Clifton , there must be many wholly ignorant of the localities , and who are sometimes unfortunately not aware of their dangor till to late . Munificent Bequest . —The late Mr . Allan Glen , of Glasgow , has bequeathed the " greater pait of his fortune , amounting to £ 20 , 000 , " for the endoirmen ^ of two sc hools at Glasgow ; one for fifty boy 0 , who , are' to receive clothes , books , Ac . ; the other for an industrial school for girls ; and both to be " free from all sectarian trammels .

TO FEARQUS O * CONNOR , ESQ ., M . P .. Esteemed Sir , —I enclose a post-order for seven shillings , for the Indemnity or Honesty Fund . It is the joint contributions of the persons whose names are affixed to this , nil of whom are ( with one exception ) members of the Finnieston branch of the Land Company , men who believe that to a philanthropic and patriotic mind , such as your own , nothing gives greater consolation , under persecution , than the sympathy of those with whom , nnd for whom the persecuted has acted . In token ,
therefore , of our hatred of the injustice and persecution , of which , we believe , you navo been made the victim , in your late action against Bradshaw , we dosire to give expression to our sympathy , and to contribute our mite towards supplying the drain caused by that particular one , of the many " force-pumpa " that are unjustly made use of , for tho purpose of " squeezing the accumulations out of what thousands would willingly adopt as their " grand reservoir , " provided they had aught they could cause to flow into it .
We desire , also , to express our most unbounded confidence in the Land Scheme , and likewise yourself ; and , can assure you , Sir , that that confidence has never yet been shaken ; on tho contrary , every ordeal through which our enemies have mado you pass in reference to that scheme , has , to our mind , by bringing you into the more immediate proximity of such characters as Bradshaw , Roebuck , Pollock , and Co ., only served , by the glaring contrast , to make the dissimilarity between irreafc and little
minds the moro apparent . And , as regards the winding up of the Land Company ' s affairs , the opinion held by our members is , that for the sake of getting rid of the malcontents—somo of whom probably did at first—deceive themselves by extravagant anticipations , it should be wound up , and then allow all who would voluntarily agree , and pledge themselves to carry out the object for which the Company was established , to do so , if tho great propoundcr of the plan would consent to continue as its conductor .
The names of the individuals who sent this mite , and whose sentiments are embodied in the above , and their respective contributions areas follows : — Robert Langumir , Is . ; James M'Lennan , Is . ; John Black , 6 d . ; David M'Lennan , Cd . ; James Young , 6 d . ; James M'Donald , Is . ; John Walker , Is . ; John M'Arthur , Cd . ; John Donnelly , Cd . ; John Shearer , 6 d .
