" OPIK 1 ONS ON T 1 HS WOBK . , After a long silence we again welcome—most hpavtily welcome—this delightful Authoress , Wh 6 comes before us with one of those heart-itirring ,. Boul-exciting Tales , that none but herself can produce . When wo , say that the TBIALS of Lo \ t equals anything that this fascinating writer has yet produced , we are utteriDg the highest praise that cau De given . ' , * We rise from the perusal of this delightful narrative with feelings of mingled pleasure and pain . The early part of the volume , which details tlie sad history of Amy Mortimer , excites the sympathy of the reader to a painful degree . The hapless girl , friendless and enthusiusti :, forms an imprudent union , from which springs a chain of sorrows which the Authoress works into a narrative of surpassing pathos . Happily as all ultimately ends , we must confess that regret for the fate of the unhappy Ann Mortimer is the predominant feeling iu our mind at the close of this most interesting tale . ' ' Welcome as the flowers in spring is a new work by Hannah Mama Jones . —There is no living Authoress to whom the public is indebted for so large a share of innocent and moral reading as to Hnnhah Maria Jones . Finely as her plot is woven , exquisitely as her characters are do . linoated , tliis Authoress never loses sight of the moral which it is her object to inculcate . The steps of Amy Mortimer—surrounded as she is by temptations aud diffiuHies , and great as are some of the errors into which her youth and inexperience lead her—never once depart from the straig ht path of duty , nud she makes her fcUotlon to ' do that which is right , * although her so doing causes the destruction of her own future comfort . ' ' After the deluge of trash—the out pourings of diseased and prurient imaginations—that has flooded the literature of these latter times , it is truly refreshing to meet with ' another of those simple , pathetic , and interesting tales , which have given a wovld-wide reputation to the same of Hannah Af . wia Jones . After a long silence she cotucs before us with all her early freshness unimpaired , and in her last work—Tne Tbials op Love—still manifest all those high qualities of head and heart which have endeared her to her readers , and have elevated her above all other writers , as one whose every production is replete with truth , gentleness , and sensibility .

Aingeb was proposed ; knew nothing of hi candidature jT and we question very much whether ever he saw or spoke to that gentleman in his life , unless it may be since his return to England , during the course of these proceedings . In like manner , the appearance of Mr . Peice , the late Manager of the Bank , was traced to tlie influence of Mr . O'OoNNOK , though that gentleman had no more to do with it than with the appearance of the Aurora Borealis , which kept all the firemen in London on foot the other night , looking for fires which they never found . ^^^^ '' * "** ''* » _ - »¦ -, — , » i -,.,. *¦ * % «« n « -inMAr 3 _ 1 _ . „_ *!• _ i * 1 . 1 ft
For our own part , we are of opinion that it would have been much better for those who had the active management of the matter , to have abstained from any canvass in favour of candidates for that position . It was a step liable to misconstruction , and has , at the very commencement , been a source of much annoyance , unfriendly comment , and expense . That they were actuated by the best of motives we can readily boliove ; and , had there been a disposition to treat the matter in a fair and candid spirit , no objection would have been offered to what is a very common
occurrence m such cases . But it is as we have already said—precisely because that fair and candid spirit does not exist , because , on the contrary , a bitter , unreasonable , and unreasoning prejudice has been excited against the Company and promoters—that those who desire to protect the interests of the Shareholders should be excessivel y cautious and circumspect in all their acts . The utmost fovesight and consideration is required from them , and , above all , an abstinence from even the appearance of wishing for any undue power or influence in the settlement of the afiairs of the Company . In the meantime , what has already occurred may serve to gire the Shareholders gomo
notion of the nature of the task entrusted to the Master in Chancery . What with the conflicting interests that will be represented before him—the vast number of Shareholders , whose interests and claims will have to be considered—the ¦ peculiar position in which the property is placed—and the opportunities for delay , and the consequent running up of bills of coats by the lawyers , presented by the manner in which , the details of the Company ' s affairs were managed , it will be perceived that they are very far from the termination of the inquiry ; and that , close when it may , there is too much probability the attornieB and gentlemen of the long robe will have , in the language of a Vice-Chancellor , 'devoured the estates in due process of law . '
We sincerely wish we could hold out a better prospect ; but we see no means of averting the melancholy result , save an unanimous determination of the Directors , Shareholders and Allottees to make common cause , and give the lawyers as little room as possible to prey upon their dissensions . There will even then be enough in the complex and numerous claims of the parties interested , to furnish the material for protracted and expensive proceedings . And once more , in conclusion , we remind the Shareholders that , delay and expense , are , in such cases , synonymous terms . All who aid iu hastening a fair and just settlement of the affair , are their true friends . Whoever , under any pretext , impedes such a settlement , is an enemy to them and to their best interests .

THE MANCHESTER FRANCHISE MEETING-. The Parliamentary Reform Association has at length commenced its winter campaign . Manchester was the spot selected for the opening meeting , and , according to tho accounts in the papers , it was a large and unanimous , if not very enthusiastic , assemblage . ' Mr . Cobben still hangs back , and with his co-labourer in the League , Mr . Bbight , sent an apology for absence ! Other professed Reformers ,
whom one might fairly have expected to have taken the field with Sir JOSHUA Walmsley , this year , were not iu tho muster roll . The agitation is still at that temperate point which permits them to play shilly-shally with it . ¦ It will be time enough for them to be in earnest when the masses are go , The Ouly decided advance observable in the Manchester meeting on the position of last winter , was in getting Mr . G-. WlLSON to become chairman . In that
capacity ho was universally admitted to have contributed more to the success of the Anti-Corn Law League than any other person connected with it ; and if he carries the same organising and administrative powers into the Parliamentary Association , conjoined with the same zeal and industry , ho will impart an impetus to its progress which will speedily eventuate in solid results . "With that exception , the priucipal speakers wove not ' Manchester men' of mark and influence ; and the meeting suggests the iuference that Representative Reform has not yet thoroughly taken voo among the'Liberal party' in the cotton Me tropolis , " 3 * ] j ( i i ; j \
On a subject so worn out , it was of course difficult , if not impossible , to say any thing nev . ^ The Chairman , however , made * Dod ' s Parliamentary Companion' the text book for a very . amusing and effective exposure of tho materials which make up what is called by courtesy the House of Commons . Perhaps the large and unconstitutional preponderance oi the aristocratic element in that assembly was never more forcibly brought out , or its pernicious tendencies more sarcastically and pithily delineated . Mr . W . Fox , who made the speech of the evening , drew a strong coni i ;
trast between the atmosphere of the House of CommonB and that of such meetings as he addressed . A different class of feelings prevailed —other principles were asserted—other objects were ^ contemplated—other sympathies WGl'O glowing in the bosom . As one proof of this , he said , in the House of Commons , there was too much sympathy with the despots of the Continent ; while the sympathies of such meetings as that were with the patriots of the Continent . In the House of Commons , h >;
had heard a member ask ,, with a sneer upon his lip , whether the Secretary of State was aware that such a person as Mazzini was in this country ; in such a meeting as that , the question was , when would not only Mazziki but KoSSUlH be among them 1 In the House of Commons , ' members spoke respectfully of ' his Catholic Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies , ' and of the the Emperor of All the Russias ; ' while there were some in that meeting who agreed with him that it would he no
unpleasant sight to see a gibbet of two arms with the Czar danglin g at one end , and the Catholic King at the other . The « great cheering and laughter ' which greeted the last sentence , WB exceedingly unpalatable to tho « T imes ; ' which , in happy obhviousness of its own brick-bat and bludgeon advocacy of the Reform Bill , took the ; 2 i t 0 hSu . ° U tW foll ° wiGg day , and roundly rated him for using bucIi sug-sti re and inflammatory language . With a simplicity Somewhat amusing , the ' leading iournal ' pointed out to Mr . Foxtbat the Czar would not iL , ™ lv * « ' ** $ y great satisfaction , the approach of a millenium , in which he was t
o perform so posthumous and subordinate a . null t i ?] 5 matcd <* at tUo member for U l ™ should be content with demanding representative reform , without claiming to dictate , at the same time , what the people should do with their newly acquired franchises when th ey get them . There may be wisdom m the advice , though not for the reason adduced . The Emperor of all the IluSBias knows how adverse every extension of popular self-government must be to the absolutist principles of which he is the prime representative and embodiment , quite as well as Mr . Fox . It is not likely that silence on that point would either deceive him as to the ultim . ate object of Democrac y , or induce him r

We do not belierf it ^ 5 > Bible to arouse the masses of this eown Nl enthusiasm in aupport of any measure Jr ^ form which creates a class constituent- , ? principle gives the franchise to prof ^ S ' stead of Man , the creator of propoHv p sides taking up a position on such vL ^ exceedingly bad policy on the pan 0 7 leaders . The Anti-Corn Law League . ceeded because it contended for a nrh »; i Had Mr . Ctanuar and Mr . BkiSt ^ tered with expediencies or recognised in £ shape the principle of landlord monopoly tli would have broken down instead of triuS ing . They made uo compromise . % steadily advocated total and unconditiJ freedom of exchange ; and that was one of ft great causes why Peel proposed a brief cJ
promise , previous to the complete recoguitL and adoption of the abstract principle of p ,, * Trade . The transition period was sl / oi toii ^ because the advocates of tlie change were bo ! , i and consistent . Iu like manner we say f 0 t ] , J leaders of the Parliamentary Association - you wish to carry the nation with you \\ L wish to acquire that power which cau . afon enable you to compel reluctant Cabling t concede political emancipation to tho <* * „ , body of the le
peop , you must take % ftl , stand upon principle not expediency ; clsui the tranchise for each citizen because h 0 citizen not because of any other funcifuU conventual reason . That can alone form Bound , permanent , and safe foundation fo any political system ; and , though the rul B classes may not grant the whole demand j once , yet the very fact of its boto g mudo J ensure a much larger concession thuu won J otherwise be granted .
Unquestionably it would be a great ste-i in advance , ifw < j COulu increase the numbe r of electors from one million to four millions or thereabouts , as Sir Joshua states Household Suffrage u-ould do ; but the demand for that species of extension will not secure it in the first instance . Knowing that the Association does not really carry the millions with it , Ministers will content themselves with ] iro posing a small Whig bantling of their mvn , and the unenfranchised masses , being dissafe Red with both , will either sullenly hold aW
or agitate for a measure of their own with the usual fatal results of division and disunion , at a moment when ' cordial union and euergetic action are imperatively required . ' It must be confessed , however , that as y et Lord John has had every excuse for puttie off the preparation of his promised measure " and unless some much more deckled expression of public feeling on the question takes place than any we have-yet had or seem likely to have at present , he " will most certainly , in fij . filling his pledge , make his bill of the ' smallest
possible dimensions . The Whig and Ministerial ' Globe' has already been putting forth feelers in favour of a fantastical ami petty scheme of an enducational franchise , open to members of Mechanics' Institutions , kt , in conjunction with a system of double election , by which the voters , iu the first instance , would elect a smaller number to elect the representative I The proposition is not worth discussion . Apart from its inherent injustice and absurdity , it is evident that if it could be introduced it would open the door for a thousand times more corruption , bribery , and jobbery than even the present rotten system . On the other hand , the 'Liberal '
daily papers , which profess to support tlio cause of Parliamentary Reform , only OCCiV sionally advert to the topic , and that in as giugerly and vague terms as can well to conceived . : There is altogether a wantoftkt heartiness , earnestness , and determination which herald great national changes . Tho times are propitious , but the men are not here to take advantage of them . The impetus we fear much came from without , and , perhaps , as in 1830 , the French Revolution preceded the Reform Act . So with 1852 another French Revolution may give us a largei Franchise Reform than is at present dreamed of , either in Downing-street ortlie Poultry .
t In the meantime , we may mention , as a piece . of suggestive information , a fact which has recently come to our knowledge . Church . wardens and other parochial officers through ' out the country , have had forwarded to tllcm a series of questions and tables to bo answered and filled up , which have au obvious reference to the preparation of another Reform
Bill . These returns in particular specify the number of householders paying £ o annual rent , as if it was not the intention oi the Premier to go lower . Wg need not add , that a measure which stopped at that point would be a shoor mockery . It depends on the people themselves whether it shall do so , ov include all the adult males in tte kingdom , of sound mind and untainted bj crime .

We have lately issued a circular to all our agents , intimating that , on and . after Saturday , the 30 th ult ., 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 * . In carrying out this arrangement , it is quite possible that some of our readers may be fliaappointed m receiving their papera for the first -week or two . If so , they will know where the fault lies , and they can easily remedy it . They have onl y to give their orders to another news-agent , who is in the habit of observing the trade rul e , and sending his money with his orders to his wholesale agent , either in 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 papor , regularly from this office by poBt . We have now carried these resolutions into practice , and think that no inconvenience is felt by either agents or subscribers . We have but to repea * , that Bhould 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 increase the circulation of this 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 .

NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . By a report of the proceedings . before the Master in Chancery on Tuesday last—which appears in another part of the ' Star '—our readers will perceive that the Appointment of an Official Manager , for winding up the affairs of the Land Company , is again postponed . These delays aredeeply to be regretted , accompanied , as they necessarily are , with heavy expenses—tho whole of which will ultimately fall upon the Shareholders , and reduce the amount of the dividends payable to them . It'it evident , from what has already transpired , that every step taken by Mr . O'CONNOU , or any persons who have been officially connected with the Company , will be watched and scrutinized with the utmost jealousy by hostile and prejudiced parties ; and that the slightest omission , ov neglect of any technical form on their part , will be construed into wilful evasion or fraud , and made the excuse for vexatious and expensive oppposition and delay . At the first meeting an adjournment was made , to enable the Solicitor for the Company to prove the genuineness of certain signatures in favour of a candidate for the office of Official Manager , At the second , when that point was satisfactorily disposed of ,
another adjournment ensued , m order tUat It mightbe proved that Mr . O'CoNNoahadautho- rised the presentation of the petition on which the Master was acting . By tho opportune return of Mr . O'Connor from the Continent , that difficulty has also been satisfactorily got over—the Master declares himself satisfied , but takes further time to consider whether he will appoint ' an Official Manager , an interim manager , or two managers ; ' allof which courses have been urged upon him by the legal gentlemen who have appeared for the various can- didates for the office . It is indeed very curious to witness what an eager rush there has been for the chance of picking up something in the scramble for the property of this ill-fated Company—by the legal and official men who abuse the privilege of their position , by indulging in habitual slander and misrepresentation of the character , motives , and actions of Mr . O'Connor . Up to the present point , nothing derogatory to that gentleman lias been proved , notwithstanding a strict and hostile investigation of the whole matter by a Select Committee of the House of Commons . That Committee , in effect , pronounced a triumphant verdict in favour of Mr . O'Connor personally , and the good faith in which all the proceedings Lad , up to that time , been conducted . Iu applying for tho Winding-up Act , and in placizig the property under the Master in Chancery for sale and distribution among the Shareholders , after tho payment of all debts ,. Mr . O'Connor is strictl y complying with the recommendations of the Select Committee and , therefore , prima facie , deserves commendation instead of calumny and abuse . These violent and prejudiced attacks upon him ouly indicate a foregone conclusion on the parfc of those who make them . They are determined iu some way or other , to prove that he has done wrong ;• and seeing they are actuated by such a hostile animus , our readers will , wo trust , in future , as heretofore , make due allowance for auy assertions that may emauate from such quarters .
At the same time , we think the knowledge that every action of the petitioners wUl be subject to this unfriendl y and obstructive scrutiny , should cause those who may act on behalf of the Company to be particularl y careful iu the observance of all the necessary forms of procedure , at each successive stage of the business . They ought to give no opportunity for purely obstructive and vexatious opposition to their opponents ; and this , we must take the liberty of saying , has alread y been done , and done , too , in such a way as to cast a shade of suspicion on the whole affair , from tb . 9 very beginning , which , to those alread y prejudiced upon the subject , will be considered conclusive against the character and integrit y of the promotors . It is truly lamentable to see how these mistakes are made to affect Mr O'Con NOR , Yrtio is no more responsi ble for them than he u for the loss of life and property in the M ? CmlZv / ° 1 5 llire coast - because Mi . OmssE Ki thought that Mr . Adjger would be the best Official Manager and p ? o . cured signatures in his favour-some of which were not authenticated , at the first meeting ^ Wore , Mr .

NAPOLEON THE LITTLE , AND KEtf-SHAY THE GREAT .
A County Court Judge in Liverpool , has been seized with a desire to imitate liOi'K Napoleon , and 'to put down' the Press . Tii « sphere of action is more limited , but the spirit and the motive are the same . Thft Pwsident of the Republic and the President ( if t " County Court are equally determined that no irreverent journalist shall bite * his thumb' 3 ' them with impunity . They think themselrej sacred personages , and pvivilegeil . to be exempt from criticism , whatever they chose to ao say . They are also , in their own estimation , -privileged to gratify their personal p ique or revenge , independent of the legal forms « ?' mary in other cases .
