TO THE WORKING CLASSES . Mt Fbiekds , —You will have learned much from the debate in the House of Commons upon th 9 motion of Lord Howick , which st ill
" Drags its slo » length along . " The cloven foot of Whig Malthusianism is disoernablo through the mantle of philanthropy with which Howick and his supporters would shroud their real objec t . Having carefully perused the several speeches , I do not find a line worthy of comment after Mr . Fenand ' s splendid speech , save and except the following Li ague-annihilating passage in the speech of Sir James Graham . And now mark the passage well , and read i t over and over again , and then ask yourselves who has dinned the very same into yonr eara for seven long years , and assigned it as a reason for opposing free-trade . He says , " A hong the CHIEF CAUSES OF THE PBKSENT EVIL WAS UWSOUMD
CREDIT , ASD TO CHEATS FBESH MACHINEBY WITH B 0 BB 0 W 1 D CAPITAL . THIS HaD SET MAMT MILLS IN MOTIOS , WHICH HAD APTEBWaBJ > S BEEN STOPPED OB bedcced to wobk shobt timb . " Now , then , have I not used the same argument over and over again in proof of the fact , that if the Corn Laws were repealed to-morrow , every spare farthing in this country would be devoted to the erection of new mills and the improvement of machinery , to meet the anticipated extension of trade , and a revolution must follow J In fact , no limitation can be set by the most speculative mind to the extent to which
free-trade would increase gambling in machinery , and every motive in which direction must teud to the further depression of manual labour . Again , see what the Hon . Mr . Stuart Wortley says . He say 3 " the cause of distress in Sheffield , is mainly owing to the falling off in the American trade , upon which that trade chiefly depends . " Merciful Providence ! when will the time arrive when Englishmen will be taught , in the true sense of the word , how to live upon their own resources 1 Their iron and steel independent of America ; their wool independent of Prussia ; their flax independent of France : their
land independent of all ; and themselves independent of the world for food and fuel and raiment . Mr . C . Wood asks for abundance and cheap ; as when food is cheapest the people are best fed ! What nonsense . When was food cheaper than now , and when where yon worse fed ! As to abundance of food making it easy of attainment , there is now more money than the holders know what to do with ; and you cannot get it . There are more houses than the owners know how to dispose of ; and you cannot get them . There is more wearing apparel than they can store ; and you can't get any . Tnere is more food than all could eat , and you are without it . But they say the surplus is inconvenient and unprofitable for
want of a foreign market ; well , but you wereitot even paid for creating ike surplus , and if , to-morrow , England had an order to supply the world with goods , in twelve months the surplus would be thirty times as great and the distress would be proportionately increased . Cheap and dear are relative terms , and the big loaf for sixpence iB dearer to a man who has not got a penny to buy it , than the sma ll loaf at a shilling is to hiirt who can earn the shilling . First catch your money , and then bny yonr loaf . Bnt bo long as machinery can earn the loaf , be it large or be it small , you cannot get it .
Now I have a word to Bay to the Calf ' s Bead Observer of last Saturday . Under the he » d " Gleanings of ihe week ? that journal professes to give a summary of interesting events . In two eases my name is mentioned , as follows 1—" ^ - O'CoDnor , a fortnight ago , lectured in Leeds on ' Charfcicn , the Com Law , and the Land / and concluded with two reaojntions , vis ., thai Corn-Law repeal would be a posiavu injury to tbo anopkeepew and be working classes , Ud tbftt the meetiogwould

pledge themselves to support the Evening Star * T « fo ot tkrea ChanMa Bpoke in favour of Gorn-law -repeal , and contended that the Chartists ought not to become a pro-Corn-Law party ; but Feargus and tan dupes were too many for them . " " Two Bradford operatives having t * kui up the glove tJnown down by Peatgus O'Connor tothe League , the reply which they received wail , that the Chartist Corn-Law champion would discsss the > q « eation with the League , and the League only . So much for O'Connor' * respect fot the weaking claseea . ''
" Now , Mr . O'Connor did not lecture upon any such subjeotB , or propose any such resolutions , at Leeds . Mr . O'Connor , s © far from declining to meet the working men of Bradford-apon the subject of the Corn Laws , did meet them , though not appointed by the League ; did discuss the question with them ; did divide upon the resolution and amendment ; and did beat them : and further , Mr ,
O'Connor said that he would at all times and in all seasons be most happy to meet the working men in discussion upon the question ; but if bis challenge to discuss it in the several towns proposed was accepted , that then his opponent should HAVE THE SANCTION OF THE X . EA 8 UE . NOW , What must this chuckle-headed " calf ' s head" think of of himself , or ratber what will his few readers think of him !
I have this morning received £ 3 from Rochdale , and £ 1 123 . from Thompson aud Co ., tea dealers , Halifax , for the Defence Fund . I trust that on Saturday night those gentlemen will sell that muoh more tea than usual . In conclusion , I rejoice at the debate on Lord Howick ' s motion , as Parliament can no longer pretend ignorance of the condition of the working classes . Next week we shall have a fall report apon Mr . Buncombe ' s motion on the conduct of Lord Abinger , —that will be of more importance to us .

HOUSE OF COMMONS .-Thubsdat , Feb . 16 . The Hoube met at tho usual hour , and some petitions were presented . Dr . Bowbing Baid he wished to put a question to the Hon . Member for Knaresborough . He had received a communication from the county of Glamorgan , in which it was stated that the Hon . Member for Knaresborough wrote to certain individuals there to get up petitions against the truck system , and urging that these petitions should state , that a certain Member of the House of Commons shared in the exorbitant profits of a shop which the Hon . Gentleman thought was conducted on the truck system . The question he wished to ask was , whether the Hon . Gentleman made such a communication to the
neighbourhood . and whether the communication contained any such suggestions as he alluded to . He put the question , because he had some reason to suppose that he was the Member alluded to . Mr . Febband begged leave to state , in reply to the question which had been put to him , that he had a few days ago , received a letter from the neighbourhood of the iron works , which stated , that the truck system was conducted there in the same ciuel manner that ic was this time last year , and of which they complained to the House . The writer stated , also , that they received no redress , and asked him ( Mr . Ferrand ) whether there would be any benefit in petitioning the House . The writer stated , in addition , that Dr . Bowring was a person who participated in
the profits of the truck system . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) , in reply , told the writer of the letter that it would be advisable to petition the House on the subject , and that , if any Member of the House of Commons in particular was guilty of illegal practices , he had a right to complain of it . Dr . Bowbikg said , that as the subjcot was one involving character , he might state that the Hon . Gentleman was wholly misinformed as to the character of the works in question . The payments were made by cheques on the bank , and the shop in question was one which conferred considerable benefit on the neighbourhood . He ( Dr . Bowring ) gave directions himself that the law should not be violated in the BDirit or the letter .
Mr . T . Duncombe gave notice that on an early day in March he would call the attention of the House to the mode of administering justice to those who were concerned in the recent outbreaks in the manufacturing districts . Some questions were asked of , and answered by different members of the Government , and some motions were disposed of , after which The adjourned debate on the distress of the country was then resumed . The speakers this evening were , Mr . Peter Borthwick , Sir C . Napier , Mr . Cochrane , Mr . Villiers , Lord Sandon , Mr . Muntz , Sir J . Hanmer , Mr . Patrick Stewart , Mr . Colquhoun , Mr . Francis Baring , and the Chancellor of the Exchequer . There was nothing important in any of their addresses . The debate wa- then , on the motion of Sir A . L . Hay , once moro adjourned .

DEATH OF RICHARD CARLILE . Carlile has passed from off the stage of existence . His life has been a busy and a momentous one : and it is right that a tribute of respect should be dropped upon his grave ; for he has been useful to the world as an herald of pbogbess . Carlile was a stern and unflinching opponent of oppression . He was one of the moat determined resisters of authority that England ' s latter days have seen . To him we mainly owe the comparative liberty of the press that we enjoy . He broke down the trammels imposed on it by government in 1817- He proved himself to be , at that period , a -bold and stout-hearted man . THE THING was then in its full power . Its nails had not
then been paired . " Late panic , and " severe commercial depression" had not lowered its tone . It dealt with the "grumbler's" with a high hand . It placed new restrictions upon the press . It downed many of the people ' s advocates . Cobbett left England for America . It seemed as if all quailed before the storm . C a rule placed himself in the breach . He braved the utmost fury of the oppression . He Bhowed that he was possessed of powers of endurance that tyranny could not break down . He triumphed ! He established the freedom of the Press ! ThiSMJaBJiol done without suffering . He had his shaf 0 § KBK $ na confined fob six tears in Dorchester ^ EFaotr As one instance of his unbending
disposition and enduring powers when he conceived himself to be in the right , wo may mention that he was for three pears and never tcent out of his room ! The visiting Justices refused to allow him free access to the open air ; arranging that he should be led out of his den for two hours a day when his keepers deemed it convenient , they attending him as watchers all the time . Carlile refused to bend to this shameful indignity . He demanded free access , l ike a ll the rest of his fellow-prisoners . He declared that ' till his demand was conceded he would not pass the threshold of his cell . Ho kept his word ! He was for three years within the four walls of his room , and never passed out . Then his demand was conceded !
Daring the time he was in Dorohester Gaol his wife and sister were also confined within its walls , and Newgate was nearly filled with martyrs to the cause of "fbee discussion , " who , fired by Cabljlb ' s zeal and bravery , had rushed forward , pne after another , to keep his shop in his absence . We honour the name of Cablilb for the good he has done . We , of course , do not think that he was free fromimperfections . We believe him to have wrought muoh mischief , and to have been a serious pest to society in the industrious propagation of his pseado theological and philosophical dogmas . Persevering courage and untiring industry were the characteristics of his nature . These he , of course , evinced with equal constancy for thej evil which he thought good , as for tho most laudable of his public aims . Bat we are not of those who would perpetuate only the dark side of a man ' s character ; and hence in speaking of Carlile we prefer to speak of his
virtues . Of his pood we speak : drawn be the curtain over his failings ! A correspondent has favoured Jus with a notice of the leading events of his life . II is drawn up from memory , he £ aye , but he vouches for its correctness . It is written by Mr . Henry Soul thorp , of Westminster . We give it with pleasure ; because just now it is interesting , as serving to show the nature of the battles Cablile had to fight with the oppressors of the people : — "Richard Carlile , the well-known deraocratioal and de ' istical bookseller and publisher , formerly of Fleet Street , London , and whose aame has been , more or less , before the public for about twenty-six years , expired on Friday last , at his new residence in Bouverio Street , Whitefriare , in , the 53 rd year of his age . His entering upon political life was in a small shop near Fetter Lane . Previous to this , he had followed tha humble calling of a tin-plate worker . Tbls is sot elated with a view to degrade Mr , Car-

lile ; for in whatever respect we may differ with him , there ib one point upon which even many bigots are agreed ; viz ., that he was a man of unflinohiflg integrity , and possessed of extraordinary powers both of mind and nerve-. He was not , however , ambitious to claim a ll ihe merit of political daring to himself . Like Cobbett , he acknowledged Paine as his political prototype : from him he professed to have ' received the first ray of light in his benighted intellects ; ' and from the Rights of Man ' 'the promethean touch that first warmed him into public life . ' He commenced his career as a publisher byre-printing Southey ' s early poem— 'Wat Tyler , ' at a period when its author—conscious that Radicalism was not the road to government
promotion—was making Btrenuous efforts to suppress it : and . maugre the endeavours of the laureate to effect his purpose , 25 , 000 copies of the work found their way into the hands of the people in 1817 ! Shortly after issuing forth Paine ' s politica l works , the same year , he reprinted the well-known * Parodies' on the Book of Common Prayer , which cost him eighteen weeks in the King ' s Bench Prison , from which ho was , however , liberated , without trial , on the acquittal of Mr . Hone , their author . But it was reserved for the year 1818 to establish his celebrity , by his re-publication of Paine ' s' Age of Reason , ' which had been suppressed through a period of twenty year * . This brought him in collision with the then Attorney-General ( Sheppard ) who
waited upon the publisher , in the way he expected , at the close of that year . In the October of 1819 , therefore , after no less than six successive indictments had been served upon him , he was at length brought to trial at Guildhall , City , before Lord Chief Justice Abbott and a Special Jury , upon a charge of ' * blasphemy , ' in having re-published the 'Age of Reason' of Thomas Paine , and the * Principles of Nature' of Eiisha Palmer , both of which works he read in court , in his defence , besides having reference to a quantity of others ; which occasioned the trial to last nearly a week , during which the defendant was accompanied by several friea < ie , among whom were Messrs . Hunt , Sherwin , and Fry , the husband of the fair philanthropist . Mr . Carlile hereupon
received sentence to three years' imprisonment in Dorchester gaol , and to pay a fine of £ -1 , 500 ; in default of the payment of which , lie was retained in the above gaol until the November of 1825 , when he was at length liberated , after having completed the sixth year of his captivity . In 1830-1 he was again brought to trial at the Old Bailey , for ao alleged political libel , published in a weekly periodical called the * Prompter , ' whereupon he received sentence to be imprisoned for the term of 2 years in the City Compter ; but he eventually served hard upon 3 years in that gaol ,, In 1834-5 be passed 3 months more within the
walls of the sg . me building , for having made a most obstinate resistance to the demand made upon him for Church-rates by the parish of St . Dunstan in the West ; thus completing a term of nine years and a half imprisonment ! For the last five or six years , ho had resided at Enfiold in Middlesex , where , it would seem , he took no part in public affairs ; but where , in 1841 , he was overtaken by the paralytic stroke , from whioh he never afterwards recovered . This abated his powers of public 6 peaking and reading to bis last hours . Tne direct illness which accompanied his death , was , however , of but a day ' s duration .
f He stated , a few days ago , that , at the outset of his public career , he had correctly calculated on having to pass through five or six years of imprisonment , to appease the angered authorities for having defied their will ; but he had not , he said , calculated that , after having conquered such authorities , by self-sacrifice , the greater difficulty would remain , of having to conquer the ignorance and vice of the people , by still more painful sacrifices . This , he urged , had been his dilemma , whioh had destroyed his health , and driven him from public business to comparative obscurity and painful poverty . It is evident that Mr . Carlile did not think his dissolution was bo near , by his having announced to several gentlemen who spoke to him as he lay in bed , only last Sunday evening , his intention to deliver a lecture on tho succeeding Sunday evening ; namely , the 12 ch instant .

Amongst other things to be taught , will be the " art of nosing developed , " from the time of the celebrated Nelson , of Hare-Hilh notoriety , down to the last transaction of the one-eyed woRSTBD-planter from Hunslet . It will also regularly contain the secret orders of the committee op watchebs , done into plain English for the use of ] the H amalgamated" Peelers , land occasional reports of the sayings and doings , of Dr .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —It gives me great pleasure to be able to inform you that your candid observations on tha Socialists , a few weeks ago , as also your admirabla article "On the March of Machinery , " in ijt ! week ' s Star , havo been hailed with great satisfaction by many who had hitherto expressed much doubt or fear of the purposes for which the people a » seeking political power , or of the use to which tW would put it when obtained . Extensive and influential misconceptions have existed on this head ! which , for the sake of our cause , and to promote tha success of our rights , wo should hasten to remove I t is imagined by some that the Chartists seek power merely for party or personal purposes and that , consequently , the Charter will be maje an instrument , like the Reform Bill , of class-l egislafian and factious Government . Now an a ttentive consi
deration of the principles of the Charter will shew that the people at large will always have the power and the remedy in their own possession either to cure or to correct these evils ¦ but , nevftrtheless it is fitting that we should likewise bW that that the people already know what use to mate oftheir rights and would exercise power properiyi-it would perhaps be well were we distinctly to state the objects we have in view , and thus encourage the hopes of the oppressed , and allay the fears of the lovers of quiet . Perhaps nothing Would better supply this desideratum than a Monthly Magazine price 6 d ., which might act as an auxiliary orcorallary to your weekly organ , the Northern Star ; for while the latter was more particularly engaged in directing and animating the movement for the mean * the former might instruct the non-Chartist public as to the ends .
The first great object as I take it , is to get hold of the lan » ; and we have this object in coo » mon with the Socialists and Fourierists , the Communalists , or the Associative Unionists , only they are pursuing the ends before they have got the means which makes the great difference between us Perhaps , too , there are some minor details on which we are not agreed ; but I believe we agree on those great general principles of truth and equity , which are applicable to all men in all times ; andasihev are seeking with us the freedom and amelioration of mankind — especially of the sous of labout-We cannot withhold from them the praise due to all well-meaning- and benevolent minds . Let 03 costs to a good understanding with them , and I doubt not we shall obtain their cordial support , as I believe we at present have their sympathy and g ood wishes . I remain , dear Sir , Yours respectfully , Johii Watkiss . Battersea .

A Clbbgthan Shot bt his Step-son , —Globcbb ^ ter , Monday . —This morning a young man , about 18 years of age , of gonteel appearance , was brought to the county jail in this city , oharged with having intentional ]} ' shot the Rev . Hugh Percy Reanett , perpeital curate of Norton , a parish situated four miles from this city , on the road ; . to Tewkesbury . The c&cnmstances under whioh the outrage was commuted are reported to he as follows : —Mr Rennett , whoiBre ! ated to the Northumberland family , married a Mrs . Clarke ,.. the mother to the young man committed this day to
our connty jail . The marriage was a very unhappy one , scarcely a day passing without some brawl or other occurring . As was natural , the young man took part with his mother , and it is alleged that the combined power of the mother and son was toopowerful for the single-handed vicar . On Friday night , there was a quarrel , and on Saturday night another , in the course of which the vicar threatenedto strike his wife . This , it is said , roused the passions of the son to an ungovernable height , ana ,, seizing a loaded pistol , he fired at his step-father . The ball entered the neck , and the serious nature of the wound becoming instantly apparent , surgioal aid was sent for , and the most persevering effort * made to extract the ball , but without effect . The reverend gentleman remains in a very precarious state .
