ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF THE STUGITES AT LEICESTER . TO THE EDITOR OJ THE JiOBTHEfcN STAB . _ Sir , —Itomg my recent brief imprisonment at Stafford , I reflected much ( as I hare already intimated in your columns ) upon the grievous fact , that liberty has ¦ beat stijledi in tit grototh in Otis cowtry , dtiejly through the suicida l guards of its advocates . My it flections were deepened by eonTenatiana with poor Ellis , -with Linney , with Arthur O'Keil , with Mr . Roberta , of Bath tone of 037 attendee ); and also by tie tenor of a secret correspondence which I contrived to bold with a fellowprisoner , of intelligence equal to any I have mentimed , bat "whose name I must not , at present , develops . Bezaovod from tie exciting influence of contest
OnrselvBl , we eonld not kelp regarding our victimised condition « being the effect , in a gnat degree , of the mad broils which bare ao long distracted and torn our xanks . " How omnipotent might the advocates of liberty be , " we said again and again , " if they did not giro their enemies the advantage by fighting against each other , instead of combining their forces against the tyrannic foe 1 " For my own put , I here openly as * candidly stow , that from the moment of my liberation np to yesterday evening , I hare been unrexnittingly pnrsuing the object which these reflections and conversations had Tendered to my view , of paramount importance , namely , union with all who were honestly seeking He enfrajtchise&ent of the peop le . My first words , on re-entering Leicester , while the procession baited in the Market-place , were " Forgiveness for my gnemipa ; blessings for them that corse me ; prayers for them that despittfully use me a » d persecute me!—and that spirit—God is my witness ! 1 have
• ought all along to preserve in myself , and to enforce in ethers . I commenced s > series of personal visits to mch of the Complete Suffrage party as 1 concerted to be uprightly and sincerely seeking the people ' s deliverence : among others , I met Mr . William Tfaipw , " the church-rate-martyr , '' as he is nsnally called , and am ready to testify to the fact that Mr . Baines evinced a spirit every way worthy of the name he has acquired , by bis noble Entering for truth ' s sake . I found a few spirits kindred to Mr . B'a .: hot they were only few . Mnch to my surprise , and atill more deeply to my sorrow , I found that the Reverend J . P . Muraell—{ wr ,.. rn * mr , r to the immortal patriot and philanthropist , Boheri TT ^ n ^ and boeom-friead of tie Revertvd Mr . Miall , editor of the Nonconfonxist ) —was not only backirard in exhorting bis brethren of the Complete Suffrage party to gnre np the spirit of hostility to the Chartists , but was actually moat energetic in stimulating them to continued opposition .
The approaching Birmingham Conference seeming to offer a happy occasion for uniting the really honest of f afhgf party , I openly avowed a willingness to cooperate with the Complete Suffragists , and prevailed with my Shakspearians to depute their secretary to Wait upon the secretary of the Sturgite tTxuon , in order , if possible , to come to a fair and friendly understanding , and to engage that the representation to the Conference should be equally shared by the Chartists and Complete Suffragists . In the midst of all thece offers , and in the face of all my flpdaTnt 1 "TT » that I desired , above all things , union with all honest and true reformers , — BS advertisement appeared in a Leicester paper , stating that " A meeting of electors of the Borough" would be , held in the New Hall , at a certain time , for appointing two delegates to the Birmingham Conference . My ghaksperians immediately took fire . "Is this their union r * they asked . " Are " they about to bold a
holeand-corner meeting , and to choose two of their own , without allowing us & voice in it ? Is Wri » their eompTete sufrage ? " Again and again . I paced to and fro among the Stargite party , expostulating and remonstrating , bat all in vain , until I forewarned them that their meeting ' would be illegal , and that their delegates would be liable to transportation if elected at a meeting from which the non-electors were shut cat - Beginning to feel alarmed , they postponed the Intended secret meeting for one ¦ week , and the Rev . J . P . Mnrsell ( according to information given ma by one of his own friends ) set off to Birmingham , with the express intention of persuading Joseph Sturge to dedare , thai the Conference should not be held 1 "I will sot sit in a Conference where Cooper is ! said this meek and lowly disciple of him who prayed for his murderess while hanging upon the cross : " I will have so share in » deputation with sacb a fellow , and know be win be elected V
Yet I persevered in struggling to drive out the foul spirit of prejudice , by offering union , resolved to test the party folly , now I bad begun , and net to desist from my attempt until the animus ot these pretended friends of liberty was so completely laid bare , that all men , of whatever political creed , might b « able to judge ef it . At the commencement of the present week , however , I learned ( again from one of the Stargite party ) that I avid have xo hope of seeing union or any thing in the jjkape of it ; and that , altkou&h these people bad at first Riven up the Idea of holding their secret meeting ,
under the belief that it waa illegal , —yet they were now determined to hold it Well , last night was the ym « appointed for holding this " postponed" secret meeting ; and , in the morning , what should I receive fait a formal letter -from a druggist of the Complete Suffrage party , who bad , all along , shown himiwlf most fixedly disposed to view the proposition of onion in the same friendly light as Mr . William Barnes , —giving me polite notice that I must cease to prrfrPT his akop i It I knew , now , to a certainty , what to expect . I was , now sure that union would neve * be accepted by these false and hollow pretenders to
SbenSty . Yet I persevered ! I went to this " postponed " meeting of electors , in company with Messrs . Crow , 3 > swick . Wells , Facer , Hallick , G ^ ddard , and others , all eJeetoa , aadinembiaai at roy " Shdkspearian brigade . " * We were admitted by tfce private entrance to the New HaD , while a luge crowd of non-electors at both doors were refused admittance by the police—another beautiful eompieU mfrage notion . I walked upon the platform , sst down , and was silent At length Mr . Manning , rfr » iTm « n of the Sturgite Committee , accompanied by seme of bis own party , walked into the hall , and told all assembled that the meeting must be adjourned since the non-electors -who -were refused admission ,
made such ft noise 1 I then calmly and quietly addressed yaiming and his party , conjuring them to accept my ¦ offer of union , and entreating them , if they inly desired the people ' s deKveranee from their miseries , to be suited with them . Instead of union , I was snet with Bcoffi and sneers ; yet I did not desist " We are waling , " I said , to go with you in ttri « matter , if you « re wining : my party wffl agree to vote for two of your own members , if yon vote for two of oars . Let the people but be shown that yon are really their friendsplaee them bat on an Cjjfeality with yourselves , in this matter , and all will be well . " " We want none of your advke , " was the reply , " We will have nothing to-de with you . ' "—and one cunning patriot added , " We will mate with the people , but not with y * u !
At length , the noise increased at the doors , and Mmrpjig ajj ( i his party findin g they could not get ont of the ball to " adjourn , " without admitting the people , —some one was let out of the back door , to go and bring a stronjei body of police . Some of the Sfcurgites who remained within , however , tmiastensd the inside double doors at the public entrance ; and the non-electors then rushed in , in hundreds , and took possession of the Bail with cheers and dapping cf bands . Mr . Wells and Mr . Facer then proposed that Mr . Crow do take the chair , and the public nesting was opened in the most quiet and orderly Banner :
When Mr . Crow bad opened the meeting , I addressed the people at some length ; calling vpon them to 'Witness the spirit with which I bad conducted myself towards all parties , since my liberation , and asking them vrbether either they or I conld henceforth hesitate one moment in our belief as to whether the Stargftes really wished to be united with the people . I recounted the various steps I had taken to secure « sion , Sid appealed to every cjinrtirt tnvn present whether the insincerity of the Complete Suffragists was mot now fully apparent Finally , I moved " that the meeting do disperse , and Mutiptblic netting of the inhabitants of Leicester bi held in the amphitheatre , next Wednesday night , for the purpose of choosing fo % r delegates to represent the etectan « M non-electors in the Birmingham Conference . *' The motion was carried without a single dissent M * Ah * ni and others afterwards addressed the
meeting . At ten o ' clock we sung " The lion of freedom < is come from bis den , " gave three cheers for the Charter , * bree for Feargns , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three tor -poor Bills—and then separated .

P . S . —I think I ought to add that throughout the whole of my attempt to test the sincerity of the Complete Suffragists , I discovered that there was ont umy by which I might , at once , have seemed their confidence . What was that ? It wa »—forsaking 0 Connor I I was taunted , again and again , with my servility , and the general servility of Chartists , to Feargne , Thai I always disowned : for every man lies who dares to call Cooper servile ; bat xny invariable aaswsr was "No ; I cannot lose my devoted attachment to O'Connor , as long as I have the same confidence in the nobleness of his heart that I have now . I have conversed with greater intelligence than O'Connor , but I have never known a heart more generous , more devoted to great principles , more earnestly and enthusiastically and disinterestedly consecrated to the pursuit and establishment of them . I may be mistaken , but I have watched the movements of O'Connor's heart in private , and I think I know what I am talking about "
When told that I dare not act independently of Feargns , I replied , " 1 have not written to O'Connor since I left Stafford jail , nor received a line from him ; and I will not write to him till this matter is brought to an issue . " And I have kept my word . Upon the whole—wounded as I feel by the circumstance , that the sincere and earnest yearnings of my heart should hate met with these murderous rebuffs from men whom I at first thought it a duty to woo into nnion with the people , because they were their real friends ; yet I am now solidly satisfied with the result , inasmuch as it win prove beyond a doubt , to hundreds in Leicester who baited half-way , that my old and severe policy of opposing the hollow Sturgites root and branch , was founded on the strictest propriety .

CONCLUSION OF AN ESSAY ON THE PBESENT SYSTEM .
. The great error of the people is to leave all to Government—to expect that Government will remedy all evils . True it is that Government was instituted for this pur « pose , and that the people are taxed enormously for its support Our Government , too , in particular , tells as that it is the best la the world . The Queen , we are told , can do no wrong—the is as infallible as the Pope —the peers are all wise u Solons , and the Commons are the best-bred gentlemen in Europe 1 How could the people expect anything bnt injustice and oppression from such a legislature—how could they expect those wise peers , those gentle Commons , would spread misery and desolation through the land . So far from proposing a remedy , our Government will not listen to the remedies proposed by others ; it discountenances all
reform , persecutes reformers , and will not so much as suffer the evils to be Inquired into , because it knows they would be traced to itself . The groans of the people are answered by laughter , their petitions are treated with scorn , their remonstrances are rejected with anger . Government says it can do no goodwhat then is the good of it ?—is evil its good ? When restitution is demanded , a cry is raised that they want to destroy property . This comes well from those who are the descendants of the Norman banditti that parcelled oat the land with their swords—from those whose ancestors were reformadoes , and pilfered the poor . Turn from the State to the Church —ask the bishops and they say , " more churches must be built J" & remedy that would aggravate the
disease . What , then , must ths people do ? Most they emigrate ! No ! remain at borne as compelled Cromwell did ; but not for vengeance bnt for justice . It is clear that the peoplt have not brought the nation to this pass , though they suffer most : and it is clear that nose bat the people can get the asjtipn oat of it Let them unite for this sacred purpose . God has grven the nmntm to their side ; thVoppressoTO are few—the oppressed the many . Let the voice of Liberty call ns together as a hen caUefch her chickens when the hawk is abroad—u a trumpet calls the hosts to the fight ; bet beware ! Listen not to violence ; it is a moral effect that is wanted , and a moral cause can alcne bring it about ; it is a lasting benefit ; injure not the cause by any temporary outbreak . Keep patient as yon have hitherto done nnder every provocation . Xosten not to rage , but to reason ; not to rapine , bat to right
Let all your passions , all your purposes have one safe vent , and that the Charter . It is yonr own J why do you suffer things that have to buy murtachios to mate them look like men , to keep it from you ? Have it : remember the wrongs— the sufferings of your wives and little ones . How long will you « ee ( tbem « ufler hunger , and cold , and contempt ? Save them , save yourselves , save England . It is the country of the great Alfred , of Nature ' s own Shakespeare , of startaught Newton , of the wise Lord Bacon , of Milton , the poet of lost Paradise , and of our lost Repnblie , ef Dryden and Pope , of colessal John , of Garrick and Sean , cf Byron , " so sweet was ne'er so fatal . " Shall it perish by the poison of a Russell or Normanby , a Palmeraton , Melbourne , Peel , or Wellington—things only fit to figure in caricatures ? Forbid it Englishmen ! ye will if ye are men !

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE KEPEA 1 ASSOCIATION OF
IHELA-NDIrishmen , —I have long wished for an opportunity of addressing yon on the all-important subject of a Repeal of the Legislative Union betwixt Great Britain and Ireland . My object in doing so at the present , is for the purpose of drawing your attention to your present mode of agitation to inquire into its merits , expose its futility , and above all to endeavour to induce you to exercise yonr own reasoning faculties on a question which affects you so deeply . Feeling an earnest conviction of the necessity for more strennous exertions on your part , and conscious thai it is the duty as well as the interest of every man to lend whatever assistance may be in bis power for the attainment of justise , I presume to tiespass on your attention , and shall continue to do so as long as my humble opinions may be considered worthy of insertion in be columns of the poor man ' s paper—the Northern Star .
• There is scarcely a day passes bnt we bear of meetings numerooaly attended , speeches having been made which called forth the enthusiasm of the assembled thousands , and resolutions passed to cootinne the great contest (?) until Ireland obtain that justice to which she is pre-eainently entitled . In the midst of all this display of patriotism , and giving due credit to the Repealers for their exertions , it is still lamentable to remuk that long as the Agitation has existed , and enthsiastic as yon undoubtedly are , ther e is stiil no visible or even apparent progression towards the desired object
To thoss wbo affect to be the friends of Ireland , and who value measures by their sounds , and only join in an agitation from a desire to become popular , and other and not less unworthy motives , such an assertion may be considered monstrous folly , and subject the writer to aevere animadversion ; nsy , I have little doubt , very many of the most honest * f the Irish people will be apt to conscientiously differ with me . But a little reflection will Boon convince the fastidious , that the assertion , however unpleasant , is not only true , but admits of undeniable proof .
In order to investigation in the most simple manner , it will be only necessary to look a little below the surface , t # strip it of its extraneous covering and expose its actual position , and your positive prospects of success . But here I fancy I hear soae wily orator exclaiming , " that fellow knows nothing about it—he is mad—don't listen to his dangerous doctrine—he is a' Chartist , " and wants to make yea as bad as himself ! And then , with a most astonishing volubility , interlarded with " blarney , " and a small touch of tfce " brogue , " enumerate all the advantages which have not , and which are to be derived from the present agitation for an ulterior measure ; not forgetting to recount the achievements of the mighty leaders who have done so much for Ireland , and who
still and will ever fight the people ' s battles , until the Union is restored to Ireland , and the Pailiament assembled in College Green ! Yes , I can almost fancy 1 see the burst of feeling which such an oration is always certain to produce , and bear the honest , bnt misled multitudes sending forth hearty responses to his appeal to stick by 0 Connell and the Union . This may be all very good , and would be most undoubtedly ao , were the parties concerned consistent to each other . It is not my intention to indulge in any feeling or conuaest on any acU of the leaders . of the Irish people , save those wkicb afiest the cause which tkey profess to
advocate . I have only to do with the political acts I of such parties , and leave yon to jndg * for yourselves ; and could I but inspire yon with the resolution to do ' so , I am confident I would render an essential service r to the cause of freedom , and place the Union within ' your grasp . \ In order still fartter to simplify Mm investigation , I you Irili in the first plaee consider , that man was iborn free , and nature ' s God proclaimed him Lord 1 of the Creation . The beasts of the field , the birds of the air , the fiahes of the sea , all were made subservient ' to his will—indted bis will was absolute . Stamped

with the image ' of bis Maker , he claimed obedience fr om every living thing ; and although , when subsequently men multiplied on the earth , tkey from a voluntary choice submitted to be governed by their fellows ; they did not at the same time forfeit their right to think , nor even to act for themselves It Was by an act of their will , that they appointed rulers , &nd by the same aotharity they were justified In deposing them . It i s , however , the province of man to become indolent , and thereby allow others to think for him , or afford opportunities for inroads on his prerogative ; and so it was , more active spirits exercise J their will ove » their fetlows , which infringement in due time , became converted into habit—from habit into law—and from law into despotism . Thus it was with man in a general sense , and thus it is with the Irish in a
particular sense . They , it Is true , have long bad to contend against , or bend to the will of a boat of merciless tyrants , who from the days of the first adventurers from the English coast have trampled on the rights , and triumphed in the ruins , of their country . Man was not , bowever , created with fixed principle ! of indolence in bis nature -, and thus we find that , on many occasions , when he perceived his privilege wrested from him , and awoke to a sense of bis prostrate condition , he assumed the right to think , and subsequently to will bis liberty , and having done bo . he acted on the impulse , and became free . In those cases it generally happened that one , or at most a few , persons were the first to think ; tkose communicated their thoughts to others ; and thus a spirit of inquiry was excited , from which proceeded great and mighty revolutions in society .
According to the principles of human nature , man is bound to -defend himself from the attacks of enemies ; and thus , if a state be oppressed by a ruler , and that only one man discover a remedy for the abuse , be is bound to communicate to his suffering brethren , stating his thoughts on the subject , and submitting his opinions to their judgment In this way an entire nation may be made to reflect on their position , and ultimately to shake off their chains . But in all such cases , as the general interest is at stake , and as it is essential to pursue the safest as well as the speediest method of obtaining an enfranchisement from slavery and oppression , it behoves the sufferers to carefully select and adopt such means as will facilitate the desired object
It not unfrequently happens that men wbo have long suffered oppression , when they begin to see through the mist which surronnds them , grasp at any feasible plan for their emancipation without having dnly considered the possibility of success by such a course as in the excitement of the mement they adopt . And thus it is , and has been , In a great jsneasure , the reason why so many failures have , taken place in political struggles . In order , therefore , to guard against unfavourable results , it is not only wise , bnt the duty of the oppressed , if they find their cause in a state of eollapse , or evincing no signs of progression , to change their plan of action—to substitute more efficient remediesand , when adopted , to carry them vigorously into execution . An agitation commenced under such circumstances , and based upon strfct principles of moral right , guided by reason , and a firm determination to persevere , would be ( he most certain means ot obtaining what was legally sought for .
A nation or a people acting in unison have only to be free " to will it" This you already know , and knowing it , permit me to ask you why it A that Irishmen have not acted aa the oppression under which their country laboured demanded t Sorely you , above all others , ought to be anxious to shake off the burden which has bo long hung like a millstone around your necks ! You have wisdom , sufficient to understand the natural equality of man , and bow is it that still you are slaves , and allow yourselves to be trodden upon by men who can
claim no other superiority over you save a little wealth , and even that is not juatly theirs ? Ton have sensibility sufficient to feel for the hungry children of yonr boaoma , and perception sufficient to see the pampered despots revelling in the luxuries which yonr labour has produced , * nd of which yon are denied the smallest share . Yon dally see the houseless wanderers who eke out a starring existence , expesed alike te summer ' s heat and winter ' s cold , whilst the despoilers are happy and at ease , enjoying the patrimony , and living in affluence upon what should be theirs .
Ob , yes . ' . yoa see , and yon feel all this , and I am aware you would wish to redress those evils ; tho very fact of your joining in an agitation for such a purpose argues favourably for you on that point ; but it may not be improper to ask you whether the remedy you would apply is adequate to the objtct to be obtained ? Remember the best plans are often faulty and capable of improvement , and that in all great and important questions , when mseh good 1 * to be obtained or much evil to be eradicated , and particularly when the interests of a nation are at stake , much discernment and energy are requisite .
You , as a nation , seek for the removal of an evil , or In other words , you seek for a Repeal of the Legislative Union ; this Is what you ostensibly seek for . although , after all , the mere repeal of that lftW would not have the magical icflaence you so fondly hope for ; but as I ana now only about to examine the mode in which you seek repeal , I shall defer my remarks on its efficacy for the present . How then , may I ask , do you act concerning the removal of this great and acknowledged evil 1 Is it not a notorious fact that with all the noise and apparent interest bestowed upon it , you are still in nearly tire same position as regards political strength as you were eleven years ago t And it there li anything wanting to substantiate thU fact , the words of Mr . OConnell , when be spoke of obtaining Repeal in
twenty years hence , completely proves it This is a melancholy fact , and to remedy it is the duty of every man who is a lover ot justice and liberty , and above all who Jays claim to the name of an Irishman . You will doubtless * ask , bow are we to act , and by what meant are we to work ont out object ? The answer is simple , and such that the most illiterate may understand ; even O'CoNNBLL himself has long since pointed out the means , by his agency in forming the document of the " People ' s Charter . " He has also told yon " the greater the moral power , the greater the outward pressure . " His word * are striking ; he says , " Where there is a great moral power , there olae then is a physical power , for where a man ' s heart i s , there also would bia hand be if need required it" Here then we have your ow n leader ' s opinion on the value of numbers , not t » speak of his very plain bint about " physical force ; " and his recommendation to extend your principles and recruit your ranks . But let me ask , what party ever was great
and triumphant , that was not guided by the influence and good example of tbeir leaders i It is a requisite condition , that all men who set themselves up as guides or teachers of any doctrine , should also practice what they preach , and thus give proof of sincerity , and induce those whom they would instruct to follow in their footsteps . Now in politics as well as other subjects this condition is indispensable , and to a country situated aa Ireland is , example , aa well as precept , is even more essentially requisite . Irishmen have bean so long and so often tho dopes of their own credulity , that they an naturally timid in taking up a question which might possibly lead to an aggravation of their sufferings . The party professing to lead you in the surest , safest , and speediest way to the desired object should be the first to venture , and the last to desist He Bhould be consistent , firm , and determined to sacrifice even his life in the " people ' s cause ; " be should , to Bum up in one word , be a " patriot "
I will , with the kind permission of the editor , continue my remarks on this subject next week ; until then I impior * of you to rtfi-. ct on your unenviable condition—to lay by your prejudice , and listen to the voice of reason , liberty , and truth . YKHITA 3 .

THE ELECTION OF DELEGATES 70 THE BIRMINGHAM CONFERENCE .
TO THB CHAETISTS OF THE BRADFORD DISTRICT . Mr Beloved Friends , —It is not twelve months since you and I covenanted together that we would not be re-baptized . At a pnblio meeting ef Chartists in the Social Institution , I reminded you at what price we bad first secured our name—I appealed to you whether you would change that name , and you answered " NO 1 " I shall have to see before I believe that you are changed . Whatever arrangements may have been made calculated to compromise your principles , I can't think that you are a party to such compromise .
The question te be settled at Birmingham is " the question—ihe vital question . It is just that of the Chahtbb , or no chaktsr—the Charter , or another * BUl to be laid before Parliament . " If then yon are willing to give up your Charter for another " Bill , " send men to Birmingham to vote accordingly ; but if yon mean to stick to the Charter , send four " out and outers , " not t # osndtwo , or perhaps three 8 turgitos and one Chartist Send no trimmers—none who carry a Chartist card in the left band , and a Sturgite card in the right It will not do to say that the proposed Sturgite candidates are " pledged" to out principlesone proved man is worth a hundred pledged men . It tells a poor tale for a man when the people are under any necessity of pledging him at alL I thought the people of England bad had enough of broken pledgespledges so often repeated on the hustings , but as certainly broken in Parliament
Now dont do the thing wrongly and have it to repent afterwards ; be on the safe side , and you'll have no need of repentance , if the majority of the Conference decide on another " Bill" ( think of the Reform BUI , which was << fce pet-measure of this same party ) the Charter will , " with your tad ! consent , be virtually laid aside . Aa the minority is bound by the majority , if you be in the minority you will become a helpless patty to the surrender of that Charter by which you have so often sworn to stand . Bamembw if another « BUI " be drawn up , there will then be two Bills before the country , than which nothing could be likely to be more fatal to that oneness ef system and organisation so necessary to yonr ultimate success .

CHARTIgTS LOOK OUT—BREAKERS AHEAD . TO THE BD 1 T 0 B OF THB NOBTHERN STAR " Sib , —Much . has been said and written of late about union , but the motives which have actuated each party concerned in that union Is now beceming painfully evident . I speak more particularly of London , although the Bame spirit of opposition hue displayed Itself in the provinces , though insome places In a more manly course than it has done here . Let the men of London beware of men who like reptiles would creep and ctawl until they have wormed themselves into the good opinions of their intended victims and disarmed them of their suspicions , then turn and sting them . I hesitate not to say that an under current is working rapidly and not leas aurely , and will speedily be developcdi Is , in fact , even now developing itself . Ominous indeed floes it appear to hear , an Individual hitherto proving himself a stern supporter ef the Chatter in word and deed , to hear such
a perion propose a resolution at a delegate meeting , calling on the Chartist body not to attend Corn Law meetings , hiit allow them to palm off their deceptious reasoniDgs unopposed on the unthinking of all classes I And why should this be done , forsooth , for this sake cf union 1 Another rails against tbo people ' s paper for its stern and unflinching advocacy of the people ' s interests , and to crown the whole another delivers a lecture the some evening , digresses from an interesting and beautiful subject to introduce Wise saws on the benefit of a union with parties whose visible object is to betray us , and so far forgot himself , and the vital amnity our name bears to our principles , and our principles to our name , as to state that " so long as our principles were acknowledged , what ' s in a name ? " what do these things suggest ? That free * trade policy will prodnoe treachery in bur camp , unless the working men look well to it Let them look well to the conduct of their leaders .
To such as the foregoing observations may appl y , let me add a few words . Remember the sacred character of the cause you are engaged in ; as patriots look on your , suffering country vainly striving with class-made laws , rapidly approaching the vortex of political strife , and borne down with unequal taxation and oppressive laws . A , re you husbands ?—that your own wives may not be in the same condition , —look to the heart-rending poverty of the once happy homes of English artisans , —are you fathers ? let your exertions be given to
provide a just system # f Government against the time your children shall be amenable to > it— -that blesaings may descend into your graves—that prosperity may again pervade this now unhappy land , add your posterity may be happy as men . Hold fast to those glorious principles you have avowed—let not the enemies of the working classes dare to trample on the movement—let us shew them we are sincere and determined , and victory will be ours . !

ST . JAMES'S PARK . —SUKDAt . " Now ' s the winter , all ragged , bleak , and hoar—We hear the torrent ' s rush , the tempest's roar ; Now rattling hailstones on the glass resound , And on the roofs and pavement leap and bound-Then heaps of snow and nipping frosts arise , The dreary landscape strikes one with surmise . Equadrate Earth ! sure all wise men must bless Pure Nature ' s painter , through His native dress . " This was the appropriate Introduction to tile lecture of Captain Ackerley on Sunday . The worthy lecturer commenced by alluding to the congratulations of the artists In oil and Water colours , which bo had received for bis previous lecture , reported in the Star of last Monday—he was happy to Berve all
associations for the cultivation of the arts , and , moreover , particularly deairous to instruct parents that they ' might impart the knowledge to their children . The lecturer proceeded b $ r stating that , as colours were immortal , through man ' s agency , it was necessary to state whence they arose . Man , alone , of ail animals , could with ease look upward to the ranith , and downward to the nadirupward with veneration and downward with intellectual wonder . It was of the downward look at colours , in connection with mother earth , that he was about to speak . The earth consists of very minute and almost impalpable particles , cohering vary slightly together—these particles do not burn , nor are tb 8 y malleable , are easily divldible . bnt not soluble in Water . Properly there are but two sorts ; first , argillaceous earths harden in the fire , and do net dissolve in the mineral acids ; secondly , alkaline ( salty ) or ^ calcareous earths ,: which in firtif burn te lime , and dissolve In
mineral adds . One of these kinds was the " painter ' s earth , " from the mineral yellow to the mineral green of the Emerald Isle—ould Ireland's oolour . The amalgamation for ths painter ' s use is by vegetable oils—Unseed , nut or poppy—for producing body colours . He then reminded them of a case , of a houjie painter who used fish oil to paint a sUngy ^ entleuian ' s bouse , which never dried in . The lecturer next expatiated on the mosaic pavements , alluded to that found at the French Protestant church , near Finchslane , last year . To this part of the subject We have not space to dp justice . It was ably handled . The next two subject *) which wew touched were Fresco and Eneaustic Painting , which took & large portion of the time occupied by tb « lecturer , namely , two hours , during Which his audience seemed neither weary nor cold ,, although the weather was not very favourable . —Evening Star ; of Monday . .

London Coaw Exchange , Mondat , Dec . 12—Last week we had rather oa extensive arrival of English Wheat from Essex , Kent ,, and Suffolk , bat that fresh up to-day , especially as relates to the supply from , the former county , was scanty , and , owing to the humidity of the atmosphere , somewhat out of condition . This morning the stands were , on the whole , fairly filled . As the attendance of both London and country buyer * was rather numerous , the finest quality of Bed ami White was taken off rather freely , on terms fcuite equal
to'those noted on this day se ' nnlght ; but the middling and inferior sorts , though not lower in value , commanded little attention . In fine Foreign Wheat rather more business was doing ; but we can notice no alterat ion In the rates . Bonded Grain wae a mere drag . We have a very large quantity of Barley in the market . Malting'parcels maintained their value , but other sorts had a downward tendency . Malt was in fair supply , and sluggish inquiry at late rates . Oats sold slowly at last week ' s { currency . Beans , Peas , and Floor commanded little alteration .
London Smithfield Market , Monday , Dec . 12 . —This being the day appointed for the holding of the great Christmas Market , we had at a very early bour a large attendance of batcher * and graziers , from almost all ports of England , with an extensive number of the former residing in the metropolis ; hence , as might be conceived , the greatest animation and bustle was apparent Contrary to general expectation , the supply of beasts derived from our grazing districts was much more superior than that brought fotward for a series of years past ; indeed , we might venture to observe that there were not fifty forming it in any way beneath the middle quality—hence it elicited the surprise and approbation of all present , and reflected great ' credit upon the skill and enterprise of the agricultural community .
The competition between the Hereford , Devon , Durham , and short-horned breeders , waa so extremely keen that we scarcely know how , in the spirit of strict fairness , to award the palm to either fa particnlar . However , for weight , size , and symmetry , including of course actual value , we might , we consider , state that the Hereford * ( except in the instance ot the S 00 U . which we shall have occasion ~ to particularise below ) was as a whole" triumphant , embracing as they did some of the most' wo'rfderful animals we ever saw exhibited for sale In this market . Decidedly the best of this truly excellent breed were brought forward by Mr . Rowland , of Creslow , who had on offer about fortf . estimated to weigh nearly 200 stone , and ! for which £ iO each was asked for the average of the
drove . We next come to the Devons , which , though not quite so extensive in numerical strength as at the corresponding market-day last year , well maintained their long-established fame ; yet , generally speaking , their weight was not quite so great as on that occasion . There Were about 400 splendid pnreDurhams , consigned to various salesmen , and which were fully aB good as In many preceding seasons . Ab to the short horns , these were more than usually prime , and those offering by Mr . Robert Morgan , the property of Blr . Geodall , of Daeplng Fen , and Messrs . Thomas and Wiseman , of Holbeacb , Lincolnshire , which gentlemen sent , also , some very prime Herefords , were certainly the best * and produced high figures ; while they were surrounded by crowds of people during the day . The Scots next
command , attention , and , notwithstanding we received few . really good ones from Scotland , those exhibited by Mr . Vorley , and owned by Messrs . J . and H . Bayner , of the Isle of Ely , Cambridgeshire ( ten in number ) , were scarcely ever equalled , much less excelled . These surprising creatures , which were estimated to weigh nearly 120 stone , were considered to be worth quite £ 32 per head , which will at once show that we have not overrated them . Messrs . Gnrrier and Maldwell . as also several others , bad excellent shows of beasts : ia fact , to do justice to this admirable collection of stock , brought together , as will be conceded , under disadvantageous circumstances , would be impossible . As to the numbers , these were considerably less than last season , yet fully adequate to suit the wants cf the
buyers . At the commencement of the market they purchased slowly , but as the day advanced , the biddings became more spirited , and we are happy In being enabled to intimate that an advance in the quotations of Beef ot from 2 d to id per 8 lbs , was firmly established , and a good clearance was effected previensly to the conclusion of the market . To prevent any misunderstanding at a time so important as this is , we beg to state that the highest general quotations for Beef were from 4 s 4 d to 4 s 8 d per 81 bs ., theugh of course some cases could be named , in which from -4 s to 5 a per 8 lbs were obtained ; hut as these figures were not those dealing as an average , we deem it proper to omit them from our tabular statement . This we deem a matter of positive necessity to mention , as we find
Bome statements giving higher rates ; fer the general transactions , in the market than / are warranted by the actual trade . The numbers of Sheep were rather more than those of last year , ana quite an turasuat improvement was observed in their quality and condition . Downs , though rather scarce , were very good , and we must say that that description of sheep , together with the Lineolns , the ; Leicestere ; the . Ken t * , and the ; Somersets ,. excited , our admiration . _ And we cannot pws unnoticed about forty Downs and polled Sheep In Mr . John Weall ' s pens , sent to that gentleman by B F . Whittingstall , Ea ? . ; of langley-Barry , Hertfordshire . For weight , size , and shape , we should say toe polled , descriptions certainly exceeded those ever shown in this market , and ' we have no hesitation
whatever in stating that bad they been Bhown in the yard of the Smitbfleld club , they would have carried off the prizes by that' society . Some of these extraordinary sheep weighed upwards of thirty stonea , and for which jesss / eacu Were demanded . The mutton trade was somewhat renovated , aud the currencies had an upward tendency , say of from 3 d . to 4 d . per lb ,, the Downs reaching , without much apparent difficulty , 4 s . 6 d . per eight pounds . Calves came fresh to hand , and were disposed of at last Friday ' s rise of 2 d . per lb . The Pork : trade was tolerably steady at fully , but at nothing quotable beyond , late rates . From Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , we received 2 , 800 short-horns , runts , and Hereford ; from Norfolk , . Suffolk , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 320 Scots , homelands , runts , < fec ; from our western and midland districts , -700 Devons , Durhama , runts . Herefords , and
Irish beasts ; from other parts of England , 250 Herefords , rants , &c ; from Scotland by steamers , 170 horned and polled Scots ; from Ireland , 80 beasts ; the remaindex of the supply being made np by the stall-feeders , && , In the neighbourhood of London .

DEATH OF A MOTHER AND HER INFANT FROM WANT OF COMMON NECESSARIES . On Friday afternoon an inquest was held at the Paul ' s Head public-bouse , White's-row . Spitalflelds , before Mr . Baker , the Coroner , aud a respectable Jury , on the bodies of Catherine Leary , aged 27 years , and her female infant ' . ;¦ . ¦ .. ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ; ¦ : ' ¦¦¦ ' ¦ .. . . ¦ . . . . ¦ ¦ ' . ¦ ' ' . ¦ ' Mrs- Ridley , a mWwife belonging to the Maternity Society , stated that on Tuesday week she attended the deceased , who had one of the Society ' s tickets , at her lodgings , in Gun-yard , in that neighbourhood , and delivered her of a female child , who was then jiving . Witness subsequently vjsited the deceased twice , agreeably to the rales of the Society , and the last tune she saw her was on Friday last , when both the child and the mother were living , but both in a very wretched state . ¦¦ ¦ ¦ ' . '¦ .. ' .. ¦ ' ¦ . ¦ ¦ .. " ¦ . ¦¦¦ . ' - ¦ .. ' ¦' . . ;¦ .. ¦ . '" ' ¦• • ¦
In reply to the questions of the Jurors , the witness said the apartment occupied by the deceased was . the most wretchedshahad ever been , in , and the deceased herself had not those necessaries required upon sueb an occasion . She ( witness ) repeatedly requested the husband to apply for parochial relief , but for some reason or other he neglected to do so . Catherine Sullivan said she was ceusin to the deceased , and was In the habit of seeing her frequently . The deceased told her It was her intention to be confined at the workhouse , and that she should not make any application to betaken In there until the moment before her confinement Witness told her It was very wrong of her not to do otherwise , bnt she still w < rold have her own way . On the morning of Tuesday week ,
witness called upon the deceased , and found her very bad , and she had altogether a very bad time of it , but bad been delivered of the infant about half-past two o ' clock in the afternoon of that day . The infant lived np to Monday morning last , when it expired ; and its mother died on Wednesday morning . Tho witness further stated that Leary , the husband of the deceased , bad but very little work since his marriage , which took place about twelte months ago , and be and the deceased were in , consequence in great wretchedness ; but , notwithstanding this , they had not applied to the parish , nor had any application been made on tbeir behalf until Menday last Witness had seen Leary , the husband , on that morning , and could not account for his ' absence from the inquest
In reply to a Juror , the witness said the deceased had not even bad her bed made from the time of her confinement until the period of her death , and this she thought , hastened her dissolution . Mr . Byles , one of the surgeons for the parish of Spltalfields , said that on Monday lost , Leary , the husband of the deceased , and Mr . Mason , the registrar of deaths , came to bis house , aud the latter informed him the former wished him to register bis deceased Infant as having died from want , when the former added that such was the case , and that his Wife was then dying from the same cause . He ( Mr . Byles ) Instantly went and saw the wife , whom he found in a very bad state , evidently in the last stage of consumption . He gave an order for necessaries from the workhouse , which were without delay supplied , but it was then too late , and she died on Wednesday morning from , he had no doubt , an abscess on the lungs .
Several of the Jury were of opinion that , bad the unfortunate woman been attended by a parish midwife , her life and that of ber infant would have been spared , as she ( the midwife ) would insist upon her having proper necessaries in time from the workhouse . After some discussion on the point , the Jury ultimately returned a verdict of " Natural Death , accelerated by neglect , want , and destitution . " *
