' :., - 3 Iy friends , one of my principal ; Qtfjects m making ray tour , is the hope-of destroying that aDsurdibd foolish . ^ antagonism which has threatened to weaken our cause , Ijjat which , I tpist , will but tend to strengthen it £ ^ : If I required a strong iHtigtPaii ^^ f Ipopu-] ar indifference , it is manTOsted in * flie " fact of the Irishman—the only representative of the popular mind of Ireland , having died a natural death—or rather , I should kiv , an unnatural death — occasioned by the apathy and indifference of those in which it was inspiring a new life . I have never catered for support for the Northern Star , but I have exerted myself strenuousl y to snpport the reflex of the Irish mind—that mind is now in such a state as the mind of no
country wa 3 ever in before—and however the Government may rejoice in the departure of the Irishman , it may rest assnred that there is no danger to a system so great as the want of an organ to represent that mind which is op posed to the system . People , like architects , are prepared to bide their time until their materials are prepared ; those materials must be furnished by a newspaper ; and if deprived of those materials the people may take a hasty and headlong move , which the fair development of their growing strength might have suppressed .
I am sure , from the glowing enthusiasm of the Irish in England and Scotland , reflected in the columns of the Irishman , I anticipated not its death , but the fond hope that it would have risen to a ' giant ' s stature . My friends , in conclusion , let me inform you that I am this night going to give notice of " my motion for the Charter , on the 18 th of this month : and as petitions to the House of
Commons are a mere mockery , I shall not ask you for one ; and it is my intention to state the views of the people , and the probable result of longer withholding their rights , in such a manner as will prove to you that neither threat nor opposition shall intimidate me from declaring the certain result of longer withholding from the people then * just rights .

BOROUGH OF FIXSBURT . This long-talked of meeting , to inquire into the conduct of the representatives of this borough , was Ml on Tuesday evenine , Juneiib , in the spacious racket ground of tie Eelvidere Tavern , Pentonville . The meeting was called for six o ' clock precisely ; lat at that Lour , not more than fifty persons were present . At seven o ' clock , the number had increased to nearly 300 persons . At this period , R . Souther , Esq ., J . R . Taylor—and one or two more persons , who were said to be the conveners of the meeting—quietly proceeded to a temporary platform , ni « ed for the occasion , and Robert SGntliey , Esq ., fas called to the chair . The Chairman said that they had been called togt-tLer to consider a most important question to every Englishman , namely , tbat of their representation in the House of Commons . This meeting bad
eaaiiatcd from a body which bad been formed some years ago , called the Finstnry Liberal Electoral As-SMiation , the principles of which were to impress on Ik' electors the responsibility of the trust placed in tleir i&nds , to enforce on them the d « ty of exerciai . z it independently of all private motives , but coiistientiously , for the benefit of their country ; aii'i to prevent , counteract , and expose all attempts to intimidate or corrupt the electors ; to obtain vote by ballot and short parliaments ; to promote a ' « extension of the suffrage throughout the kingd' jia , on the principle that each constituency returcii > s members to parliament , should consist of an Mail number of electors in proportion to the sjiuuer of members to be returned : to
euforce , by all constitutional means , the repeal of the ¦ windot ? and income taxes as at present levied ; a revision of all the present fiscal laws , and to carry out the principles of reform in ' . he reduction of the Kiional expenditure ; and to procure the repeal of tliat jiortion of the 27 th clause of the Reform Act Tridch makes the payment of rates and taxes before a given day an imperative condition Of tUC toncfee . When the matter in question was discussed l > y the association , the llouse of C « ramons was not sn ^ ded by . their members , and accordingly resclutiwis were passed and sent to them . lir / Wakley thtii addressed a letter to his constituents , which il'i-v had all seen . He ( the chairman ) had always supported Mr . Duncombe , and he should be the list
l ^ fion stimulate the electors' get rid him , if , as had been the case in the last two days , he was a * . le to attend to bis duties . Bat , however valuable li * services might be , if he was no longer able to l * rforni them , painful as it was , it was for fr . eia to consider what course should be taken , or whether Is should " be called on to resign . If he was able to attend to lib parliamentary duties it would be the highest ingratitude in the electors to call on Mr . Duucombe to resign . With regard to Mr . AVaklcr although he ( the chairman ) was not personally atom to him , he had always watched his conduct , and found that he had attended to the interests of -us constituents . It was for this meeting to say wiiat course thev would pursue .
A pause of some duration now occurred , no one * Pi * aring prepared to move any resolution , and some- impatience was manifested in the meeting , act * J"lianied b v cries of " Are you going to move any n ? olution ? The CaAiEMAx at length , amidst peals of laugh-« r said , unless be was better supported , he would declare the meeting dissolved . . ilr .

Duncombe he approved .
Mr . Lee supported the resolution , arguing that it was best calculated in its terms to meet the wishes of the meeting , and urging them to abate contention about trifles , and by adopting the original resolution show that . the electors of Finsbury had no minor differences , but held together . Mr . Feargcs O'Cox . vob said that if there was one fault he abhorred more than another it was ingratitude . ( Hear , hear . ) For twenty years he had sat in the House of Commons with Mr . Duncombe , and up to that time could any one bring a . charge of inconsistency ajainst him ? " ( Loud cheers . ) Was the borough of Finsbury then to he guilty of ingratitnde ? "When any one of them had a sick horse or a sick servant , did they T ? ork them till they were
well ; and would they treat their member worse than they would a beast ? ( Hear , hear . ) He had observed that there were a few geese at the back of the platform , who had hissed when he made his appearance , but he begged to say , that he did not come there to create a disturbance , but as an elector of Finsbury , to servean absent friend who had faithfully served them . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Duncombe had been charged with neglecting his parliamentary duties ; but if Mr . Duncombe had not been so continuous an attendant at debates and divisions as formerly , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) was , in a measure , to blame , as lie had earnestly advised Mr . Duncombe not to risk his life by so doing—as he ( Mr . O'Connor ) conceived it much too precious to lose . ( Hear , hear . ) It was
impossible that any constituency could find a more perfect , independent man * than Thomas Sling < by Duncombe —( hear , hear )—? nd there were but few courageous independent members in the House of Commons . "When the late Daniel O'Connell was charged with calling the house 658 pickpockets , he had denied it ; but was he ( Mr . O'Connor ) charged with calling them a set of miscreants , he would not deny it . ne knew the " dodge" for which the meeting had been got up , and he was pleased to find that the " dodgers" would le disappointed . ( Hear , hear . ) He must now leave them , » 3 he was anxious to get back to the House of Commons . He had been there that evening , and taken part in two divisions , and he had given notice to bring forward the whole animal , bristles and all , upon that night fortnight , and both Dunenmbe and Wakley would support his motion .
What more could they want ? In conclusion , he called on them to stand by those who had faithfully served them , and not desert them when illness came on them through over-exertion in their cause . Should Mr . Duncombe , from indisposition , be unable to attend the hustings at the next nomination , he pledged himself to appear for his friend , and bring such a phalanx as should scare his enemies from their base purpose . ( Cheers , and cries of "What about Wakley ? " ) He was asked to say something about Mr . Wakley . He begged to state , ftat he had never known that gentleman to « ive a wrong vote . ( Loud cheers . ) Thankinsr them for the kind hearing they had given him , " he should retire with the conviction that they would come to an unanimous decision , and resolve to treat their representatives as faithfully as they had served them . ( Loud cheers . )
Dr . Eprs said , a gentleman had observed , tbat if they had a horse ill , they would let it remain in the stable until it got well ; truly , but , at the same time , they would take care to procure another to perform its duty . He thought it of the highest importance that the electors should have members always in their places . He came there to oppose a resolution that he was told was about to be submitted for their consideration , cdling on their members immediately to resign , nevertheless , he did not like the idea ' that members of parliament were to tell electors what they should do ! It was said that the duty ot a member was oneron ? , to which he Teplied : —the member sought the labour and cares of a representative , ( near , hear . ) Again ,
tbat they were unpaid—he replied—they courted the honour . That the labour was wearisome and dangerous to health—he replied—the distinction was sought , and having obtained it , they were bound in honour to perform its duties . * ( Loud cheers . ) They wore quite right in holding such a meeting , and the constituent body should take care to preserve to Finsbury the character of being in the foremost rank . He begged of that meeting to support the amendment submitted by Mr . Moore , He would not say the calling of this meeting had induced their members to go down to the house last ni ght and do their duty —( laughter)—but he did say , if they wanted their business well done they mu ? t look to it : ( Loud cheers . )
Mr . Usxnow said , Mr . TVakley had served the people for thirty years , and he trusted the good sense of that meeting would prevent any clique from having the opportunity of returnin ^ cither a Whig or Tory in opposition to either Wakley or Duncombe . ( Loud cheers . ) The Ciiaihmax , in putting the amendment , deprecated any antagonism . lie was indifferent as to whether the resolution or tjie amendment was carried , as r . cither of them condemned the conduct of their members , or called on them to resign , but
assumed that their health was improved , and that thej would soon take their seats . It had been asked , by whom this meeting had been called ? If it had called by only one elector , he would only have exercised an undoubted right , and one which he hoped they would always rocognise . ( Cheers . ) The amendment was then carried by an over whelming majority ; and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman , and three cheers for Duncombe and W .-tkley , the meeting dispersed . It is only fair to state , that at the height there were from six to seven hundred persons present .

DESMWCTION OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE " 'W 7 r . . INFR . AUCE ' . ' ' ¦¦ - ¦ 1 '•' j-T ; . ' ¦• ' . ¦¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ - ¦ • ¦•¦¦ : . ¦ ¦ ! , A very numerous and respectable public moetuijr , convened by the society of Frater , iai Democrats , was held on Monday evening , at the . Literary ' and Scientific Institution , John-street , Tottenham-court a V * - ' ^ Gr * s ? bt vasiinanimously called to the chair , and had scarcely commenced his openmjgddress when the Hall rang' with plaudits , anno ^ oing the arriv al of G . J ; Barney . The ' chairman said he was delighted to hear thoso gladsome s ° « « 8 to welcome their friend Harney , and he bopea tbat they were precursors of a welcome of jnotherkuid . ( Loud ; cheers ;) " They had the misfortune of being compelled that night to announce the destruction of Universal Suffrage in Fiance . dearhear TYES ! PRT , J'f ' PTnxr m * TT ^ T-cr-r < r » r .. 4-. ~ ~ . ^ .
( . , . ) : Some might censure the people for permitting this , without an attempt at resistance , but he thought it exhibited the wisdom of the men of Pans , in their determinatibri- ' not to descend to the streets in face of one hundred ' and fifty thousand soldiers . If they must fight , the French patriots were at least sagacious enough to choose their own time , and their opponents would soon discover that a standuwarmy of three hundred thousand men were devotfnng their subatauce : ( Loud cheers ) He had very great pleasure in introducing Bronterre 0 Bnen to move the resolutidn . ias follows : —'' That this meetmg . believing that " Men . of all countries ** br ^ thfra , " aildthat thoso who oppress a nation are the'declared enemies of all , cannot but regard the destruction of Universal Suffrage in France as an act of treason to the human race ; and , therefore , denounces the traitors to the execrations of the people of every land . " '
Mr . O'Bries said that resolution was a trump , and he believed that nothing in or out of Holy Writ was more true than the sentiment it contained . Oh , glorious sentiment !— '' Men of all countries aro brothers . " ( Loud cheers . ) The resolution said Universal Suffrage in France was . destroyed , but , fortunately , there were two powers above the Legislative Assembly—the constitution and the people . ( Hear , hear . ) By the Electoral Reform Act the Assembly had tried—he said tried , because the people would not suffer themselves to be excludedto exclude all persons not on the poll tax , or who had not been employed three years in one situation , and they might depend on it , that the tyrants would take precious good care that no person should
remain three years in one situation , who was likel y to vote against them . ( Loud cheers . ) Le National had been at some pains in making a calculation , and had discovered that the Electoral Reform Act disfranchised four millions eight hundred thousand persons—directly , positively disfranchised—which was one half of the whole of the electors of France , and still reserving power by indirect mean ' s of disfranchising many others . ( Hear , hear . ) What reason was assigned for passing such an act ? Simply that Eugene Sue had been returned for Paris instead of Leclerc ; and who was Eugene Sue ? why he had been a most estimable professional man , and was now one , if not the most popular literati of the day ; and , by the bye , was a rich man
the press having reviled him as a Sybarite—a man who lived and revelled in luxury ; yet no sooner was ke returned as member for Paris , than this vile press changed its tone , and declared " thatall property was in danger . " ( Hear . ) His opponent , Leclerc , was a middle class fellow , who called himself a . paper maker ; the very profession was a lie , as . the fellow never madu a single sheet of paper , but hired others to do it for him , by whose sweat and toil he lived—without whose aid and support he would perish—but whose chief merit , in the eyes of the middle class lourgeoise of Paris , was his ferocious slaughter of the proletarians in the days of June . ( Cheers . ) The men who had been instrumental in passing this
atrocious Electoral Act lived by cheating and fraud six days of the week , and only rested on the seventh that they might re-commence their nefarious practices on Monday morning with renewed vigour . ( Cheers . ) He contended that such a law could not be obeyed by the people of France ; and further , that no respect whatever was due to the passers , of such a law . It was passed under the bayonets of one hundred and fifty thousand armed soldiers . The great lexicographer , Poctor Johnson , in his most honest and learned days , when writing the first edition of his dictionary , had described a soldier , as a hived assassin , and a pensioner , as a slave of state . ( Cheers . ) Let them not imagine that either of those definitions applied to English society—ah
no ; to any other country but this . ( Laughter . ) It was the duty of the people of France to regard the Electoral Law as not passed . It was opposed to the constitution , and , therefore , had no existence . ( Cheers . ) He did not wish the poor men who had been compelled to become hired assassins from hunger or ignorance , or perhaps from both , to be injured ; but tbat those who hired them should he made responsible for their acts . ( Applause . ) He was glad the Legislature had passed the law , because the veil was now rent asunder , and the lonriicoiss stood exposed in all its hideous deformity . For the last twenty years , simple people had been continually meeting him with the cry of " Oh ! Bronterre , don ' t infkmc the middle classes against us ; let
us act with those whose interests are identical with our own ; " but now all this stuff was exploded , and it was found that the interests of the two classes were diametrically opposed to each other , and that in fine , the middle classes were as a class a dirty set of candle-end savin < r , cheese paring , sloe-leave mixing , adulterating , cheating , defrauding , Christcrucifying set of devils . ( Roars of laughter , and immense cheering . ) He had told them some time ago , that in France there were two millions of persons who understood their social rights , but tho numbers had rapidly increased , and they were now nearly three millions . ( Loud cheers . ) Ten tyrants had already taken the alarm . Their organs in the Press said , " something was brewing in the minds
of the people , " and so thero was . Tho villany of tyrants did not allow them to sleep comfortably in their beds , and their lives were rendered miserable . ( Hear , hear . ) He told them that the people of Paris and of France generally would he revenged on them , and that the proletarians of all nations would then sing , " Oh ' . be joyful . " ( Vociferous cheering . ) There was scatce a working man in France—but had lost a relative iu the ' revolutionary wars—men who had imUbcd the glorious principles laid down by Maximilian Robespierre , —to the amount of three millions were murdered . The middle classes wanted to get possession of the land by their worthless " assignats , " and how was it
done ? Why a general war was got up , men of all nations were set to slaughter each other , nnd thus the brave Proletarians iwere cheated out of their promised " milliard" and their valuable lives at one and the same time . ( Hear , hear . ) Would to God , that instead of destroying so many valuable lives , they had taken the four gvcat generals , put them at a cannon's mouth , and sent them to glory in a shower of grape shot ; but , however , such a thing as this might happen'at some future period—not in England , but in some other country—and then of course it would be their duty to go down on their knees , and thank God for all his mercies . ( Immense cheering . )
Air . IIarxey , in an eloquent speech , ably supported the resolution . Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds came forward , most warmly greeted , and said it gave him great pleasure to stand there in support of that resolution . 116 would like to know how many of the proletarian class had been put to death for what was called " sedition and treason ? " nnd which was not unfrequently but a mere declaration of their own rights . Was it . not treason in the government when they attempted to put down the sovereign people ? And as monarens " did to death" tboscVhom they called traitors , according to their own notions , retaliation could be but an act of justice . But the French people must not he thought cowards
because they did not descend to the streets . Prudence said ,- " Citizens of France , chooso your own timecatch the giant assassin asleep . " lie conceived that notwithstanding : ill Changarnier ' s assassins , tho " bill" never would have been enrctcd had it not been for the little bit of English diplomacy , in tho shape of the sham quarrel , no doubt got up on purpose ; but it might Uc saiJ , would Lord Palmerston descend to such meanness ? lie ( Mr . Reynolds ) replied , remember the Portugese affair , * with tho Queen , Count I ' oinfin , and Dasantes . W ; w not the Portugese Queen supported in the violation of her oaths , and a Fleet sent out to suppress tiie patriotism of Count Bomiin and Uasantes , and aid in tho
violation of the Portugese Charter ? The middle classes of France were now seen violating every principle of Christianity and goodness , and he said beware of the middle classes of this country . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The middle classes were the same in every country —( hear)—their principles were : get all you can from the oppressed , ground down Proletarians . ( Cheers . ) Hence , he said , if this class got what they were seeking—a sufficiency of power to enfranchise all those who had something—they would set all who had something against those who had nothing , and the working people must beware , or they would feel its effects . ( Cheers . ) If the despots of tho continent com-

2 &TI 0 NAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . , Jte - - llyt ^ & tWs boflv . convened by tho . Provisional Committee , continue to be held at theLUerary and Scientific Institution , John . street , ¦ SpSF 1 ^ 11 f ucc - On Tuesday evening , Juno 4 th , ihe Institution was crowded . On the committee entering the hall it was greeted with loud cheers . Mr . Wood was called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings , Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds came forward , and in an and
eloquent most powerful speech , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting , reviewing the proceedings of Parliament during tho past wees , is forced to the conclusion , that the so-called representatives of the people have been actuated more by cant than by genuine humanity , in their opposition to certain measures which have been before the House of Commons ; and that principles will never be made the foundation of legislation until a fair choice of representatives is given to the people , by the enactment of the People ' s Charter as the law of the land . "
Mr . Elliot , in an able and argumentative speech , which was greatl y applauded , seconded the motion . Mr . J . J . Bkzkr then came forward ' to support the resolution , and in the course of his speech read a petition , intended to be submitted to the House of Commons , praying for compensation for ; ho sufferings endured and the wrongs inflicted on him , ( Mr . Bezer , ) by confining him fot * a long period in the Gaol of Newgate on a false charge of " Wicked and Seditious libel . " The petition set forth that Mr . Bezer was a walking fishmonger , and in that capacity had offered to sell Lord John Russell a pike ; that for so endeavouring to increase his trade he had been tried , sentenced , and confined for a long period in Newgate , to tho

' at which he ( MR Bezer ) had delivered the speech for which . ho was convicted , was not so violent as that used at a meeting over which his grace the Duke of Richmond had presided . Lord John Russell had said his grace was highly respectable ; and as there was not one law for the rich and another for the poor , he ( Mr . Bezer ) begged to say that John Shaw , who presided over the meeting at which he ( Mr . Bezer ) had spoken , was also highly respectable
but that , nevertheless , he was , and had been , for the last twenty months , confined in Newgate . He therefore prayed , that John Shaw be released , in order that his grace the Duke of Richmond might occupy his place . The many purgent hits and quiet humour of the petition called down alternate shouts of laughter and the loudest applause . Tho resolution was put an . d carried unanimousl y . A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman ;' who acknowled ged the compliment paid him . The meeting then dispersed . Tho usual liberal collection for the funds of tho Association was made at the doors . "

THE IRISHMAN . On Sunday evening the friends of this paper met again at 26 , Golden-lane , to renew theif exertions in support of its re-appearance . - - ¦ ¦ : ¦¦* ¦ ¦ . Dr . O'Connor occupied the chair , who said he felt highly gratified in presiding ovnr a meeting whose object was in support of the sterling exponent of Irish independence , the gallant champion of nnruistakuble democracy . ( Cheers . ) He thought the causa of Ireland was centred in the Irishman , and he would have nothing to do with any mode of agitation till he saw it fairly at work again ; and , if the people would not support it , the best thing he thought they could do would be to go to
bed and dream of liberty in their slumbers . ( Cheers . ) Mi' . Dwmn , in a very able speech , portrayed the miseries and patient endurance of the Irish people through ages of misrule and wrong . Mr . Thomas Manly said , he came there to assist them , because he heard they were Irish Democrats . He was one of brave Esnraetl ' s Brigade , and one of the last men that saw him at the corner of Mosslane , giving instructions to remove the scaling ladders , while a twelve-pounder was playing on us down Thomas-street . ( Cheers . ) Mr . M . detailed other matters , which displayed the noble daring soul of Emraett , and called forth repeated bursts o ' f anular . se .
Mr . Knox Flanaghan , in an excellent speech , supported thfi object of ilie meeting . Mr . Joyce said , if it were the last sixpence lie had in the world , lie would , g ive it in the cause of thfi Irishman ; if it were not supportfd , the disgriice should rest on the right shoulders—nn those who vainly expected that liberty should corns to them without even an invitation . Mr . Clancy entered into some detail as to the mode which he would suggest for carrying out suecessful and permament support for the Irishman . He would suppose there were 100 clubs in existence in the three kingdoms : let each club guarantee ten quarterly subscriptions , and turely this was not too
much to he expected . He did not mean that ten persons only should subscribe this sum ; but that the sccre : ary of each locality should receive subscri ptions according to the means that existed , until the sura of £ i 5 s was made up , the secretary keeping a careful list of subscribers , should then deliver in return papers'to the aruout of . each subscription . This simple plan would at once test the sincerity of all , and obviate inconvenience to many . This would realise £ 300 153 to begin with , which might be doubled by each club engaging to form another ; thtis , a threefold object would be attained , namelythe sinews of war , a more perfect organisation , and a knowledge of their own strength and moral dignity . ( Hear . )
Mr . Lynch and others approved of the' plan , and paid in a month ' s subscription . Messrs . Fj , anaghan and Lynch were appointed as a deputation to proceed to Wapping . Thanks having been given lo Dr . O'Connor , the meeting then separated .

DEATH OF THE VETERAN DEMOCRAT , , ¦ THOMAS PRESTON . TO MR . 0 . JULIAN HARN 13 Y . Dear . / Sir , —One of the oldest veteran reformers of the day—the fellow-worker with those nobles of mind and humanity , Hardy , Home Tooke , Thelwall , ' Gale Jones , and othGrs—one who manfull y stood a nine days' trial , and a still longer imprisonment in the Tower , during the " glorious " days of the Castlereagh Administration—poor old Thomas Preston , at the patriarchial age of eightytwo ; is dead . He died on Saturday last , Juno 1 st , m extreme poverty , bowed down by reverses that would , in most cases , have embittered and crushed
stronger intellects than his , but which with him proved but so many incentives to exertion—to lessen the heavy burdeniof the oppressed operative ' s , ano \ to rescue the toilers from tho bondage of their hard-hearted taskmasters . A ' schome of his which had for years lain dormant for want of funds to make it known , to the public : oventualll y resulted in a Benea of meetings held at the Leicoster-squaro Institution , under the title of " the Regeneration boeiety , . His whole energies were directed lo the furtherance of this . scheme of regeneration ; and he has repeatedl y and with enthusiasm remarked , that ho would have left the human family in peace , could he but have lived to have witnessed its practical results . . Mr . Luko Hansard , assisted by Mr . J . 11
. ?^ « j / Walter Cooper , Mr . Alexander Campbell and others , drew up a report upon Mr . Preston ' a plan , which is now before the public . Ho had been confined to his bed for ton days before his death , suffering but little pain until near the closing scene of life ; finally he died calm and happy . HiB last words were for his poor wife , and the brotherhood of the human famil y . The destitute condition of his wife and son at his death , left them without the necessary means of conveying him to his final resting-place ; fortunatel y , a benevolent gentleman has given the necessary directions for his interment in Bunhill-nelds . Poor . Preston , before his death , expressed a strong desire to see you ; he had been during many years a warm admirer of your political character ; and Julian Harney was ' the one of
all others he desired to have conveyed his dying wishesto . Unhappily death came upon him more rapidly than had been anticipated either by himself or his friends , and his wishes remained unfulfilled . He desired , if possible , to be laid in the same tomb , with his fellow patriots , Hardy , Home Tooke , and others , but it has since been ascertained , that this cannot be complied with , the grave being closed to any . further interments . The funeral will leavo his late residence , 13 , Benjamin-street , Clerkenwell , in Sunday next , at two o ' clock , proceeding down Red Lion-street to Clerkenwell-green . ' The after route will be hereafter decided upon . ' Trulyy ° urs » J - Sale - 9 ,-Walbrook-street , Hoxton , . ¦ . •' , •" . June 4 th . 1850 .
m ~ .. I was totally ignorant of poor Preston ' s illnossj ' . and knew nothing of the circumstances connectoid therewith , until apprised of his deatli . I cannot sufficiently express my regret that his friends deferred informing me of his wishes until too late ; had I known of them in time , I would have immediatel y hastened to his ' bed-side . It is to be hoped that the democrats of the metropolis will " one and all , " attend the funeral of the deceased patriot on Sunday next . ^ Thomas Preston , as a Republican and Social Reformer , was persevering and ,. ' dauntless , and faithful to the end . Honour to his memory ' . Tho distressed circumstances of the widow and son—the latter , I believe , incapable of oven self-sustenancecommand a public subscription . " Perhaps such a sul ) scripti 6 n could be commenced at the funeral- Will the friends in immediate
communication with Mrs . Preston , see to this Democrats of London , do your duty . G . Julian Harney .

BE . M'DOUALL . TO PEARGUS O ' CONNOR , ESQ ., II . P . Sir , —I have not troubled you with any applications ( luring the period of my imprisonment , nor would 1 have applied to you under any other circumstances . My family , as you may have been informed , have suffered many privations—the greater part of which I believe have been concealed from me . Poverty , however , soon finds moans of making itself known through the stern visitation of death .
The little girl whom you once saw at White Conduit House , is no ' more , and I have no doubt as to its death being accelerated—if not directly produced—by the want of proper necessaries , advice and attendance ; all of which would have been at hand had I been elsewhere . You are a much altered man , if you cannot sympathise with me whilst bending under one of the hardest and bitterest trials I ever experienced . ...... . \ yhatpvcr maybe your feelings towards me , Ithink ' tsUi ^ lnoii a ^ l ^ in v ain for a statement being made i'h ' tlio Star ? arid for an appeal to the people to pay me back a portion of the money 1 have freely expended on them , for the security of my remaining children .
I have very slender hopes of being allowed anymitigatiou by Government ; but the time is rapidly drawing to a close when I shall leave this prison , and undertake the protection of my little flock now diminished by one , whose absent voice will waste tho welcome of thousands a bitter mockery . Yours truly , Dr . M'Dovall . Kirkdale , June 4 , 1850 .

LIBERATION OF ANOTHER VICTIM . TO V . O ' CONXOK , ESQ ., M . P . De , vu Sir , —You will be so kind to perr . ii ; me , on behalf of our committee , to call the attention of the several Chartist and Democratic bodies , through the medium of your journal , to the case of poor Hooper , discharged from Kirkdale Gaol on last Thursday , after a period of twenty months solitary confinement and half starving . The humane authorities fearing to incur tlie odium of his death , have indeed reluused him before the expiration of his sentence , when they left him in that state that it is morally impossible he e : ui live . In addition to his physical debility , this youn «' man lias the misfortune of being penniless and fundleas ; his relations , during his incarceration , being necessitated to emi grate to America , to seek employment there .
For th 6 only , crime of loving his countrv and his kind , this oncofine , athletic young man , lias , by : i cause of suffering such as bastile keepers only can inflict , been tortured into : i living sUeleton ; and will bis associates—in Liverpool especially—hold back thoir milo to afford moans to soothe " by care and medical treatment , the remaining hours of a life prematurely brought nigh its end by selfsacritice to forward tlio rights of his follow men ? Surely it" they do all their patriotic effusions must be so much vnpourage . All that can—and little will 'lo from each—should come forward at once ; the very fact of svmuathv will iu itself brighten t ! ie last hours of our Comrade Health and Fraternity , ( Signed on behalf of the Liverpool Democratic Association . ) .

It is a splendid piece of plate illustrative of the eighth labour of Uerculw , the destruction of Diomedes . King otl lirace , and Ins horses . The classic legend is that Uioraedes , in order to render his horses wore fierce iii war , fed them on the flesh nnd blood of his captives , and that to deliver the world from the cruelties of such a tyrant llerculis attacked and killed bo ; h unn and his horses . This subject is represented with great boldness mi I power ! the group of figures being arranged round the : vase wish such artistic skill that in whatever way U is viewed new and striking effects ave produced . Che horses are full of life ami vigour ,
and the designer and modeller , Mr . Cotterill , deserves great credit for the masterly manner in which he lias accomplished his part of the work . Me ? ars Gurravd arc » l « o entitld to praise for the excellent style of workmanship in which tlie vase lias been proihic-il . It contains , besides the main subject , emblems of tlie seven previous labours of Hercules . On the body of t ) ie vase are the head * and skins ot tlie Cleona'an lion , tho lifymanthian boar , t ! ie Msonalrean stag , and the Cretan bull . On the neck
