NOTICE ! TO READERS , SUBSCRIBERS , AND FRIENDS . "We have lately issued a circular to all our agents , intimating that , on and after Satutday , the 30 th inst ., the publishing arrangements of the 'Star' would be placed on the same footing as those of all other metropolitan weekly journals . From that date no papers would be supplied except for cash . Iu carrying out this arrangement , ' ^ is quite possible that some of our readers may be disappointed iu receiving their papers for the first week or two . If so , they will know where the fault lies , aud they can easily remedy it . They have only to give their orders to another news-agent ,. who is in the habit of observing the trade rule , and sending his money with his orders to his wholesale agent , either iu London or in the country , If no such person be available , a quarter ' s payment in advance , or the remittance of the price of a single number in postage stamps weekly , will ensure the paper regularly from this office by post . We have now carried these resolutions into practice , and think that no inconvenience is felt by either ageuts or subscribers . We have but to repeat , that should any difficulty be felt by any one , a direct application to our office will , no doubt enable usto suggest a remedy . We have this week printed a placard for the use of those agents who may feel disposed to aid the efforts we are now making to inci'ease tho circulation <> f tUls paper . The placard is stamped , and shall be forwarded free of cost to any one choosing to apply for it , and willing to exhibit it .

II I ¦ III— ... — . — - ¦ -. __ „ . _ __ _ . . _ _ — . I ¦ —I . 1 ticipate in the management of public affairs , and re-establishing a more rigorouB and perfect despotism than previousl y existed , the men entrusted with administrative powers and dutieB in this country seem determined to show us , that it is practical to do without any Government at all . Since the close of the Session the members of the Cabinet hare dispersed . themflBlYes in every direction , in search of pleasure and relaxation ; and , as yet , there is no appearance of-their prolonged holiday rambles drawing to a close . The Premier has been rambling in the Highlands , basking in the smiles of Royalty , at remote Balmoral , or enjoying himself in a free and easy way at nearer Minto ; and though the last accounts bring him closer to the scene of his duties , we suppose that at Hickleton Hall the occupations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and himself will be anything but official or onerouB . The Secretary for Home Affairs is cruising about in a Government steamer—of course at the public expense ; for , like John Gilpin ' s loving wife , '—
Aitnougii on pleasure he is bant , He has a frugal mind . The heads of the other- departments are scattered far and wide . Lord Palmerston alone remains at his post' , but fov all that appears before the public he might as well join in the holiday gambols of his colleagues . Indeed , it would be much better for the country if he did , for there is no telling what a pretty bill of costs we may have to pay in future , through the business of the country being left to his sole and uncontrolled discretion . With special reference to his own department , his absence would have bQeu far better than his presence , at head quarters . When the revolutionary outbreak , which all men gifted with the slightest degree of political prescience foresee at no distant date upon the Contiuent , does come , wo shall probably find that Paljxersxon idle , is better than Palmerston busy . The noble Viscount' makes very liberal speeches in Pai '» liament . His diplomacy is professedly liberal , and his interference in foreign affairs always ostensibly on the side of constitutional government ; but , some how , a perverse fatality attends his efforts . They invariably tuvu out the very reverse of what they are meant to effect . Now Lord Palmebston is unquestionably a clever man—the clever man of the Whig Cabinet , and it does excite somo wonderment , and not a little suspicion , in the minds of those who narrowly watch his course , that his policy should so constantly tend to play into the hands of the very parties he professes to oppose . At a time when the unholy alliance of sovereigns on the continent have combined to put down by the strong hand every relic of Constitutionalism within their dominions , and to tram p le even on the treaties which at the close of the Great European War bound them to some show of decent respect towards their subjects —a vigilant , determined , and enlightened policy was peculiarly deinsmdGil on tho pai't of this country , mixed up aa it is with these treaties , and having paid so many hundred millions of sterling money to effect the settlement of affairs , ultimately agreed to at Vienna . Lord John Russell and his colleague , however , think differently . As if all the world were in astateof stagnant tranquillity , they disperse in search of amusement , without leaving any check upon the Miuister for Foreign Affairs , who , they well know , will speak in their collective name without scruple or hesitation , and who may bind them to a policy which , in future , may be both disastrous and disgraceful to this country .
One deduction , however , may be drawn from this light-hearted abandonment of their official duties by our rulers . They have the highest faith in our powers of self-government . When Lord John Russell returns therefore to Downing-street , and sets to work in the preparation of his promised New Reform Bill , we may fairly expect that he will keep the fact of our abilityito do this , prominently before him . The people who for months can get along prosperously , and manage their own affairs quietly and efficiently without aristocratic or bureaucratic help , must not in future be made the slaves , dupes , or tools of ' hereditary families / or political cliques of any kind . In answer to all pretences in favour of continuing the political predominance of the few , and the political exclusion of the many , we can point conclusively to this Ministerial testimony , in favour of an unstinted participation in all the rights of citizenship , seeing we know well how to ' perform its duties . Any allegation as to the want of education , inclination , or capability to exercise the franchise with benefit to the country at large , will be a self-convicted libel on the people , to whose knowledge and ability Lord John Russell now so unreservedly commits the destinies of the nation . He has taught us that we can do without Downing-street . The best use we can make of the lesson , is never to let Downing-street again stand between us and those rights we have shown the power and the inclination to use so well and so beneficially . It is rumoured that before the end of the year more than one change of the Cabinet will take place . Such rumours are usual at this season—and , in most instances , are set afloat by parties whose wish is father to the thought . ' There seems , however , some reason for believing that , in this instance , rumour will not prove false . It is very probable that Sir Geoiige GttEY will not again encounter the labours of Home Secretary during such an arduous Parliamentary Campaign as lies before us ; while it is equally obvious that the increasing infirmities of the Marquis of Landsdovke , and the declining health and vigour of others of the ' Family Party' who now monopolise the Government , will render SOnif ! fthano-ps anrl rfl . fliefrihntinn i \( * IV ,. < - v ¦ % teivfc * % j ^* u& 4 uv&V&l

THE BLOOD RED BAIL Any interference -. vith railways by tho Legislature or the Government has been condenraed by the railway magnates , and the Free Trade journals , as subversive of all sound principle—injurious to the shareholders , and mischievous to the public at large . Wo have been solemnly assured- that if left to themselves , they would meet all the requirement of the public in a far more economical and superior style , thaii if they were encumbered and obstructed by Governmental regulations and interference . In railways , as in evey other department of life , we have been told that the highest policy of the government was to do nothing , and tho directors and managers would be compelled , by a sense of self-interest , to do everything in the very best manner , for the satisfaction of their customers . It is true there were some palpable fallacies in this statement of the case , and that however applicable the doctrine of laissez faire might be to private , manufacturing , and commercial concerns , it could not apply to affairs of such magnitude as those of a trunk line , and to matters in which the whole body politic are so directly interested , as quick , economical , and aafe conveyance ' from one part of the country to another . But the c railway interest' is strong in Parliament , and it has carried things its own way . The Treasury Benches are powerless before the phalaUX Of wavnOVS , who buckle on tW « armour on behalf of the right of railway directors to 'do what they like , ' not only ' with their own , ' but with the lives aud promivi
iy sue puouc . We see the result in the constant occurrence of accidents , involving a fearful destruction of life . " Train after train conie into collision with each other in broad daylight and the carriages and passengers are strewed in fragments along the straight and narrow iron road , ' which leadeth to destruction . ' Thia week has been peculiarl y prolific in such occur * rences . An" excursion train proceeding to Oxford , on passing the ' points' near the Bicester station , was severed in two—the engine running for some distance on one line of rails , while tho train ran along-side on . another , until the ' jork , ' caused by their separation , overturned both . Seven were killed ou the spot , great numbers had llraba fractured , and severe' flesh wounds and contusions ; while to . add to tho honoia of the scene ; the overturned carriages , under which the dead , the dying , and the wounded , lay heaped together pell mell , had to be sawn asunder before the wretched victims could ha extricated from their fearful position . On the Great Northern ono excursion train runs into another in daylight—doubling up carriages aa if they were so much paste board , and covering the line with the wrecks of carriages and bruised and bleeding passengers ; and , shortly afterwards , the passenger train from Derby to Nottingham , on the Midland Lino dashes into a luggage train on thesamu line , in front of it , at a fearful speed * crushing the poor stoker ' s body between the engino aud the break , so as to completely flatten it . Of course the passengers were ' much bruised and shaken , ' and the engine and tender smashed to pieces . In all these cases we havo ' inquiries , ' aud the ' company ' s officers' duly attend , and * show the greatest anxiety to afford every information in their power , but this is " a mockery . It is shutting the stable door after the steed is stolen . Wo do not want to know what caused these accidents . but a complete and efficient code of railway regulations by which they shall bo prevented . And prevented they can be . Constructed as railways are , there is scarcely a single contin * gency that can happen upon them which may not be foreseen and provided for or guarded against . Every thing connected with them is under the control of the active mana « gers to a far greater extent than by any other mode of locomotion . If , therefore , careless * ness or selfishness lead to the loss of life and limb , the guilt—for it is no less—is directly traceable to the directors , under whose superintendence these slaughters , wounds , and bruises are inflicted , They have shown , by the abuse of the immense and " practically un « conlrolled powers confided to them , that they are unfit to exercise them , and it 13 hig h timo that tho ^ L egislature and the Governm en t , ^ the guardiaus of the public interest , should interpose to prevent any further wholesale slaughters of this description . Such interference will , no doubt , be very bad political ecc nomy , but it will be appreciated with thankfulness by hundreds of families , to whom it Will preserve , their sole support and mainstay . We really cannot afford to let the country thus drift along to please the whims of a set of pedantic and heartless crotchet mongei'Sj ° t 0 put money in the pockets of greedy shai'c holders and directors .
