      ^ object in securing to tie p / jor man the full privilege x > f efljeyins the reward * of hiB industry . At < rae time - £ na old einbets otraatioual enmivj are blown onto life ; at another timo the deadly feuds of Catholics-and Protestants are abetted and encouraged i > j -cnarrrnel governors and their supporters , and after these contenSoas bones hare caused the death of « naay misled ignorant dapes , and the combatants , s hy the partial spreading of useful knowledge , have ieen -shown , a -sgat ef ihebr follies , so as to enable them , in a great measure , to guard against the wily ¦ '^ concoctions of English and Irish Catholic and

      In the notorious speech to which I am now directing the attention of ipy countrymen , yon have departed from -the old emblems of discord , the orange and green , and - substituted that of religion andirreligion ; 50 U make a holy appeal to Catholics , "Pxoiestants , Presbyterians Melhedists , and the % ous&nd and one other fanatical squads by whom the peace of society is daily disturbed , to unite in a £ rm bond of union , not for the purpose of bringing about such a change in the constitution of the laws , as every good Kan . mast desire , but for a determined . and blody onslaught on the growing spirit of what you are pleased to call infidelity . You tell them of -one Taylor , an infidel bookseller , who opened a shop in Dublin , -soice years ago , who was known

      by the cognomen of the devil ' s chaplain , and then hy way of showing your gaping auditory how they may easily get rid of yonr political opponents ,, jou indirectly pay & high compliment to a number of yoang men , Protestants and Catholics , who pulled Shis infidel ont « f his shop , ina lane off Graftonstreet , dragged -him along the streets ghonting ¦" send the fool farther" until they came to the Liffey , where they would have actually drowned him , had it not been , for the interference of some policemen After delivering yonrself of this choice morsel , you ¦ eanltingly exclaim—that same sight be west elf-to England , and has nev * r since dared to pollute ihe soil of Ireland . Inhuman , intolerant , unsocial and anti-Christian monster , thou fit -companion for the

      beastly Calvin a ; -the stake of Saveritus , what did you mean hy the aarratiou of this savage conduct 3 Will you answer this question ! ; No , no , yon will not j the viciousnesscf your persecuting spirit destroys that little sometkiag which never fails to warn yon that you are walking in the ways of wickedness for which , unless yoa repent , the all-powerful ruler of the universe will-call yon 10 a fearful account . But as there is i » ¦ likelihood of ij on giving 113 an answer on this side the grave , and in all probability yon -mil have eaoogh to do on the other side , I will not press it for the present , tut content myself , according to my - » wn humble judgment , in making up the deficiency , leaving it to -an enlightened public to say whether *! am Tight or wrong .

      • In the first place , tbea , as shewn in my last , you ¦ endeavoured to make the people of Ireland believe that Chartism and Socialism were one and the same system . Seeonaij , youheia © stifcaS if permitted togo onthey would destroy christisaHy , and as a means to arrest their progress yon call on the Catholic priesthood < which lam sorry to -say too often became your pliant tools ) to assist yon in warning your hearers against any connection « ith their profes ? ors , that they are not to hold any . intercourse with them in ihe common concerns of 3 ifc—not even so much as speak to them .

      And , lastly , by refemBg . to the ease of the Bex . Mr . Taylor , yon are advising them indirectly to go « nd pull the Chartists and their good friend ^ O'fliggins ont of their Ball , in Horth Ann-street , drag them to the Liffey , and either throw-ihem in , or terrify them bo as that they may cnt eff ^ o England , nere ? more with their pestilential tread to pollute the sop of ^ your profitable speculations . Dan , my dsar , isn ' t this what yoc want to be a * ? I defy any national jnan to arrive at a different eaadnsion . Kow , Sir , allow me to digress for a momesl , and ibr the sake of armament , sengose yon to fee * & CaiholiCjhaveyo ? , is this instance , used the pzoper means for the ^ preservation of * that faith frosi the iaioada of the unbeliever or infidel ! I deny tha&you have . I deny that the crneltiee * nd

      prosecntiouarec * tnmended by you will have tha effect of patting down Socialism . -On the other iand , it is the'best possible course yea could pursue for its increase j ¦ and when their nejt Congress metis in LoDdon , J 62 are-fally -entitled to , an nnauimose iqrote of thanks & ? joar fnfions attaeif 3 .

      more time than I can command and more space than the forty-eight * 9 lumns of thiB poor man ' s journal . ' ¦ It may not'beamissto . iiiqairehere ? what is meant by tbe strict application of the term infidel . I am . well enough aware that in the common acceptation it is applied to 4 person who doubts or denies the Divine itevelatioii-of the Scriptures , or the fanaameotal principles of Christianity , But I think 1 have heard it said , and some of the English gramnrariaBs quoted as -authority , that an infidel was a man who beliered one thing , while , at the same time , he professedibe comrary . If I am correct in this thea you are the man and theinfidftl , fo * you profess to believe the doctrines of the Catholic Church , and

      -ee-t only that , hut in the fullness of your hypocritical heart you attend regularly on her sacraments , wMle you prove your disbelief by going out from the tahle of the Lord to rob the poor by political Jugglery ^ in confirmation of which I point to "jour conduct on the passing and carrying ont of the Emancipation BDL After you had bartered the forty shilling freeholders for this Bill many blamed you , but the great mass gavo yon credit ibr good intention !? . The speeches which you had made in Waterford and many other places in support of the starving people against the swarms of law-gamblers which overran the kingdom was then ringing in the ears of y oar numerous supporters , among whom I wa 3 one ; bat on seeing you take

      advantage of the power and influence which this Bill gam ) yon , in joining the robbera by the establishment of a bank , the operations of which tended to raise the prices of the necessarieB of life on those who were too poor to purchase them even at the cheapest rate , we could not conscientiously remain longer attached te yonr triumphal car , when as Dr . M'H&le has truly said , you made use of the power of the people to secure places and pensions for those who assisted you in your gullible profession . Then any-man , not blinded by interest , might easUy have seen that your object was plunder , and that you cared not what means you employed in getting at it . You have exhibited throughout a system of doubledealing , seldom to be met with , and when taken as a whole will , I be " " ve , be found without a parallel in the biographies of all other public men . Your

      political conjuring is of the most masterly description . You first used the people to terrify the Government into a compliance with your wishes , and after you had got all you could gather in that quarter you turn round and actually blind them so far that these same . people pay yon a tribute of from 12 to ^ 20 ; 000 a year for the £ lorious privilege of being jewed . No other living man could have performed * nch a feat Giving the devil his due , you are decidedly a clever old fellow , and of all the infidel tribe you deserve the highest niche in their temple . Your shuffling and monstrous inconsistencies on the tithe and other questions which have ooenpied the House of imbeciles during the last seven or eight yeara , has been so well handled by Mr . O'Higgins and man ; other able writers in this paper , that it would be quite superfluous in me bringing them forward again .

      I will now , for the satisfaction of my brother Chutists who sympathise with my countrymen in their extreme sufferings , give a sample of the wretchedness which prevails among the peasantry , for whose spiritual welfare you hypocritically pretend to be so much concerned . It 13 from the lips of the lamented Mr . Inglis , in his Bwom testimony before a committee of the House of Commons many years-ago , and theirsituation has been daily and hourly growing worse since his time . In speaking of the

      County Ijimerick in reply to the question " What description of beds have they in their houses 1 He sayB , I protest I have beeen perfectly shocked at hearing an account of it . The Police fa necessary attendant on the Bible readers j in searching at night , of course , are sometimes obliged to disturb the family . They scarcely ever have any bedding except straw , and it appears to me that the family are huddled together , without distinction of age or sex , and often with scarcely any thing to cover them .

      u Have they any description of bedsteads ! Yes , they have some , but in general they lie on Btraw , on the ground . " is that ground floored with any thing ! No , it is tbe bare clay , not an instance to the contrary . " As to the value of the house itself , how many pounds would it take to construct 1 I cannot exactly say , I believe tbe greater part of these cabins would sot cost twenty shillings . ¦ " 1 b the peasant an occupier of land in general I In general he is an occupier of a small tenement on some of which he grows a littla grain , and the rest in potatees . He generally has a pig or two , and a few fowls ; the rent is paid by the grain ; the price of the pigs , and the eggs , and fowls , which are Te&red about the house , and I believe generally speaking , that the peasant never eats a morsel of bread from the beginning to the end of the year . 1 inquired and was credibly informed , that the lower

      orders have not even milk ; I inquired particularly respecting this attbjeot , and was greatly surprised by the information . " Mr . Inglis then goes on to describe other parts of the country , and coming to the town of Callen , in the neighbourhood of Kilkenny , he says . * I walked through the town to the outskirts , and-round a little common which lies close to if , and there I saw the people crawling out « f their hovels , they and their hovels aiot one shade better than 1 have seen in the seirras-of Granada , where people live in holes excavated in the banks , xheir cabins were mere holes , with nothing within them , ( I speak of two whi « h I entered } , except a little straw and one or two broken stools ; and all the other outskirts of the town are in nearly the same condition ; ranges of hovels without a ray of « omfort , or a trace of civilization about them ; and ^ people either in a state of actual starvation , or barely keeping body and bouI together . "

      Now Dan , my good fellow , what do yon think of this picture from a disinterested English tourist , who could have no other e&rthly object than that of laying the truth before his countrymen . Bead it again ; and « ee if your conscience will sting you , for having deluded these people for forty long yearsj gathered their pence , and left them in this sad situation ; and that , too , when tbe Liberal press—the Catholic press—the religious press of Dublin is constantly employed , from one eod of the year to the other , hounduag them to come < np with your " rint , " just the same &e if there were not a bowl of porridge in yonr mansion at Derrynane Abbey . Who ib the infidel—tin man who can roll in luxury , at the expense of so much deplorable misery : or the Char *

      tist , whose whole-soul is devoted towards the establishment of a codeof laws , having for their object the political redemption of this hiiberto unfortunate race ? Let reason and common se&se sit in judgment , between you and us , * nd we will cheerfully bow to . ihe deciidon . : Permitine io close-ihis letter by advising you—if -idvice can make any impression on jour stubborn , SsZfish , and callous heart , —to change your tactics , . acd unite politically with every man , . no matter of 3 ? &at religion or no religion , so being be is disposed ' 40 s 2 Ssist in alleviating tbe distress which now pre- « aUs throughout the land .

If he . copscientsoaaly sets aside all revelation , or even denies the

      exhrrvice of a Supreme Beiag to be adored and worshipped , is that a sufficient reason for depriving him of his ^ atural rights ? The thicg will not bets investigation for one moment . Wfcen we contemplate the risejs of blood that have been shed by the various religioae-sects in their quarrels for the supremacy , it should act as a warning to mankind , not £ 0 be led away . by such as yon , when tie devil so far gets the better of you as to suggest . such a barbat&us system as that recommended to ihe repealers . I know your . object was to destroy . th » influence of Chartism in Ireland ; this you can fiever do , for its intrinsic merits are such as to make proselytes is any country ^ hose people have suffa ^ d so much a * the hand of the tyrants , both foreign and domestic .

      OUR DEFENCE FUND . TTTtt NATIONAL BENEFIT SOCIETY . 10 THE CHAB . T 1 ST PUBLIC Much calxjjojiated Bmthbes , —We hare all felt tbe necessity foe the establishment of a permanent defence fund . Our ; champion , O'Connor , haUi declared its necessity . Several - other Chartist advocates have publis hed their opinions thereon , and the unprepared state in which the first ot Whig crusade , and , the last orTory attack npon m overtoclciu , proves beyond dispute that necessity ; in short , none have disputed the first position , indeed it appears to be received as an established fact ; but the best means of tfrfBtag the aune , appear * nob to be yet settled . Now with all due respect to tbe opinions of those who have ¦ written thereon , I must think that none but th . i » who have had to do with getting -np the subscription ! for those purposes , can thoroughly judge of what the people tan do ; and to give as idea of their Btate in etnoeeUoD with mosey , 2 have only to B&J that

      Untitled Article

      even for nmes at sixpence « ach , thereto much difficulty in getting * he o . aantom -of , members . ** Cannot afford iti ** i « tbe plea- ^ - " trade hajs been too bad . " i feel confident thai , allwho baTe been engaged in collecting for the defence funds will beat testimony to the poverty of our < 3 &artist brethren , and the consequent difficulty to obtain snbscriptions , and therefore this second position , the difficulty ^ np ^ S their evidence should be held eBtabltsbed . The question then , to be considered is , how shall we obviate this difficulty , and yet supply the necessity ?

      I submit to yon that we must not trouble our brethren often for subscriptions , nor tile our officers , as collectors , in asking often to > e refused . We mutt endeavour to make one fund serve every purpose ; and , under an efficient plan of Benefit Society , this may be done . It la expecting too much of human nature to suppose that our fellows will be continually contributing their spare , and , in most cases , stinted pence , to carry on the struggle for their political rights and a new system , whilst they have no other prospect than to perish in the old : bat . let

      as once produce a plan wherein the ; can see that their subscriptions will be applied to the benefltting of themselves here , whilst the very officers who are necessary to carry on the benefit society , will be able at the same time to conduct , and the more effectually , their political struggle ; and * that their union , for the one purpose , can , without extra espence , be brought to bear even more powerfally in tbe other struggle ; and they will no longer hang back from the call to such an Union , but , on the contrary , will strive and stint themselves to the utmost to forward this great work of emancipation .

      I take it for granted that not one of our fellows who have thought or written upon the Defence Fund , would think , for one moment , of its laying dormant in the treasurer ' s coffer , in case of no prosecutions occurring to call for its use « r Iobb ; then if we would have it used , to What better purpose could we put it thaa tbe purchase of land , npon which property we could raise the same sum in a few hours , if needed , by mortgage at five , or perhaps three and a half per cent , whilst its use on the land would be bringing us fifteen per cent , more .

      If , then , none would object te thiB appropriation of the money , why not make it part of the objects of a benefit society to defend any and all of its members in the best legal manner , who shall , in the discharge of their duties to the society , be prosecuted by any parties , and thus do away with the necessity for any other fund or subscription , but to the Great National Charter Benefit Society ; besides , in such a society , there would ever be a large sum in the various treasurers' bands , available at a few hour ' s notice , agreable to rule , made expressly for such emergencies ; and the property they would , in a year or two , become possessed of , wjuld enable them to raise a much larger sum than we have yet expended in law expenses .

      My struggling Fellows , let us turn our whole attention to tbiB subject ; depend on it , it Is the only sure basis whereon to start afresh our movement for our ri ^ bU , liberty , and happiness . Success will certainly attend our efforts , if we bring our brotherly love , zsal , and energy to the work . Yours in charity , Gracchus .

      HARMONY HALL . LETTER VII . TO THS EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —la my last letter I gave you the outlines of a National Organization foi securing a portion of the land , so far as the constitution of a society and fixing tbe regular contributions of the members are concerned . This , however , forms a very small part of the power of the people towards accomplishing the object we desire , and is solely an Initiatory , or skeleton , portion which will require to be filled up as rapidlyas mind can be brought to bear upon the subject , « ith such other details as may be nect&sary . Among those which present themselves to my recollection , but wbioh are still a very limited number , and merely presented to your readers for tbe purpose of drawing their attention , and allowing others who have the leisure to exercise their minds upon the subject , are the following , some of which , I am happy to see by the correspondence of your paper , are already receiving tbe consideration of some of your readers .

      First—A National Benefit 8 ociety . —It we look at the immense sums at present wasted in the various Benefit Societies which now exist , through the limitation of the numbers of the persons who compose them , and of the objects for which they are established , it will soon become evident that one society on a broad and comprehensive plan , whose resources and profits should bo always actively engaged in land operations , in combination with the best labour and skill wbicb tbe country could afford , assisted continually by every new invention in mechanics or other science ] , would soon give advantages such as wou ) dab * orb within its fold all minor operations .

      Second . — -A National Life Assurance and Annuity Society . —Tbe advantages to be secured by life assurance , and by the purchase of annuities , have long been felt among the middle and upper classes , and there can be no reason why tbay should not be extended throughout all classes . I know I shall for the moment excite a smile on the countenances of some , who will perhaps be inclined to ask , " do 1 Intend to mock the misery qt tbe millions by talking to them of assurances and an * nuities ? " A little sober reflection will however point out that such a society as I allude to , may , if properly based , immediately receive a support which will permit it to rank high among those at present in existence ; and although the commencement of tbe work may be with a class now somewhat contemned and despised , yet we have only to ahew advantages to the whole body of the competitive world and they will most earnestly desire to share them .

      Third . —A Sayings Bank and General Bank of Deposits . —If the funds , new invested by the operative classes in tbe Government Savings Banks and in other so-called securities , were to be placed under judicious management in land operations , it would of itself give a power which would be quite irresistible by any other that could be opposed to it Fourth . —An Establishment for the leading Manufactures for genera ] consumption , on the most advanced principles . —This is an object which a national

      association would have to undertake at tbe earliest moment that it had made ; good its other arrangements , for the education and employment of the people can never be lightly carried on , until the means shall be afforded for the production of every kind of wealth which the people require to the fullest extent that the progres sive intelligence of man shall enable him to find them , and shall be made the utmost use of . Whenever this shall be effected , and equitable exchanges made , we no longer need fear that there will be the voice of poverty heard among our people .

      It were easy to proceed to the enumeration of many other objects to which such a society as I allude may devote their attention , bat as I wish rather to arouse the minds of your readers to a consideration of the principles rather than the details of the object I place before them , I shall for the present let these suffice , asd Bhall content myself with a few observations as to the impediments which may st preient exist to their immediate adoption , and to the manner in which these impediments are to be removed . Tbe only real impediment there u to the adoption « f

      these measures to the fullest possible extent ib tbe want of uaiiy among the people . To those who will rtfcct upon the subject it will be very evident that if the comparison of nnmbars be taken , and the union of pur pose ware equal under any circumstances , the immense preponderance there is in favour of tbe masses in the firs : respect , would caese all classes to bend immediately to tbe general bodfaf operatives ; our duty , therefore , as practical Reformers is to ascertain from what cause it arises , that the people are not united on a subject which it is very evideat to all that their interest requires that they should be .

      This want of onion must . arise from ignorance . I have placed tbi * remark before your readers in an abrupt manner that it may the more xeadily excite their attention , and whether it may for the . moment hurt their self-esteem , is to znt > very immaterial . I write for the purpose of shewing tbe mode of relieving my foliowereatureB from the vice , crime , and jaisery which everywhere now so frightfully abounds , and I have neither xisae nor inclination to pander to tbe prejudices of those wbom I address . Tbe fact is strongly before ub , that if we possessed the knowledge bow to we and combine them , we have all the elements of power within our reach ; and it is indeed » pitiable sight to witness the energies of euch a people as compose Uxe operative classes cf the British empire , wasted and destroyed in vain lamentation to a number of people who have no idea of bow to provide for themselves and expecting from these people a remedy for distress and misery which they are compelled for their own appartt&safety to perpetuate .

      These things must no longer be , and it is high time that a change should take place , and now that tbe sciences of human nature and of society have been discovered and made plain , tbe only thing wanting is s > clear stage and no favour , and the whole fabric of error may be demolished , and truth and justice reign triumphant in its stead . The first step towards the rsmoval of tbe ignorance which so extensively prevails regarding thetrue interests of humanity , is to know that we are all ports of one great universal whole , and that misery cannot exist In any portion of this body without being more or less participated in by every other pottien .

      This is a bet which it may take some time to render apparent to these who have not studied the subject ; bnt it is nerertheTesi true : and the more deeply it is looked Into , the more clearly will the truth be made apparent to our minda . Call us ,- if you please , high or low , rich or poor , virtuous or vicious , every individual which composes humanity is a portion of our own existence , and u such contributes to on * happinee * or miaery ; and until this can be made apparent to all minds , there will be little hope of a universal system being adopted that shall secure the happiness of alL

      When we shall have come to the conclusion that all interests are identified , we ahall next have to examine tbe manner in which the happiness of all is to be secured ; and for this purpose we mu » t ascertain what human nature really Is , and the manner in which it can be best acted upon . In coming to this subject we shall find that we have hitherto completely mistakes the nature of man , and have been led to expect

      Untitled Article

      results the very contrary to those which mast of neces-Bity ensue from the causes that have been in operation . Sooiety has hitherto been based upon tbe supposition that man forms his * own character , and , consequently , has the power to act correctly , or otherwise , at will . This is an error which pervades every ramification of society , and most be removed before any practical good on an extensive scale can be effected . Another gross evil which prevails ' almost universally throughout society , aa at present constituted , is that man has the _ power to believe or disbelieve , at pleaeure , —which is productive of an amount of misery beyond all calculation . - \ The third error to which I 6 b * U call the attention o ! your ; readers is the supposition that man can feel as he pleases , independently of tbe effects produced on him by the objects by which he is surrounded .

      These three evils perpetuate all the ignorance which now ' prevents us from enjoying an amount of happiness greater than it has ever been in the power of the human race \ to obtain ; and if we can remove them generally from the minds of the people , we shall thereby , destroy allcauses of anger , ill-will , envy , hatred , or any other unpleasant feeling . Those who are now without the necessaries of life will readily see that if tb « y could exchange places with others who are differently circumstanced , they wsnld be compelled , from necessity , to do everything in their power to sustain and advance their ' position for the benefit of themselves , tbeir wives , and families . Until the idea of the universal happiness of man being desirable and obtainable , Bhall prevail te a great extent , we shall not proceed with that energy and resolution which is necessary to ensure success .

      I may here be considered as entering too much into abstruse principles ; but I again urge , that my object is to satisfy no single class , sect or party , but to identify alt interests in one general society . As I progress with the subject I have no fear of enlisting the attention and sympathy of all who read , for it is now far easier immediately to commence a new system of society based on truth , and capable , of sustaining itself against every opposition , than to continue the present random chaotic measures which produce such vice and misery ; but everything must be done in order and without impatience . Leaving these matters for the r « flection of your readers , I will in my next begin to shew some of the practical steps that require to be taken . I am , sir , Your obedient servant , William Qalpin . Harmony Hall , near Stock bridge , Hants , April 24 , 1843 .

      A PILGRIMA&E TO BYRON'S SHRINE . " Through thy battlements , Newstead , the hollow winds whistle ; Thou , tbe hall of my fathers hast gone te decay , In thy once smiling guden , the hemlock and thistle , Have choked up the rose which late bloomed in tbe 1 way . " I had long promised myself a visit to the shrine of the mighty Bard , whose name , like tbe blast of liberty ' s trumpet pealing through the world , has inspired the lovers of freedom to do battle for the right ; and smote on the ears of palsied tyrants the death-knell of their departing power , warning them that

      " The people by and by will be the stronger . " I had more than once been disappointed in my intentions , but at length , thanks to my Sutton friends , was enabled to realise the hope I had nourished within since tbe first moment that I wandered with tbe Ghilde" through his " pilgrimage "—a hope still more ardently cherished since the time when , * ' roaming o ' er the banks and braes o' bonny Ayr , " I knelt at tbe shrine of Scotia ' s minstrel , and thought of Byron while I worshipped Burns . Invited by tbe sturdy democrats of Sutton-in-Abhfleld

      to share with them their Easter festivities , accompanied by Mrs . Harney , I left Sheffield by tbe half-past seven o ' clock ! train , on the morning of Easter Monday , for Chesterfield . The carriages were filled with holiday folk , who , a ' a the April sun shone down upon them , all bright and joyous , looked back into his face and assured " bright PbMbna" by their smiles , that for once , at any rate , they had determined to banish dull care ; for myself I felt in tbe same pleasant temper , and inclined to love the world once again , love it as I once did before I had felt the stings of treachery , and learned to my sorrow how mean and basa a thing is man .

      But a trace to moralizing . We arrived at Chesterfield shortly after nine o ' clock , and , without halting , immediately started on " shanks nag" for the Mansfield Road ; ' we bad to pass close by Chesterfield church , and its carious croofc-backed spire of course excited my companion ' s " organ of wonder . " About a mile from Chesterfield we stopped at a village called ( I think ) Normanton . Here we breakfasted at a private house ; ova hostess , though belonging to the order of plebeians , was extremely kind and courteous . She had spent some years in France , and the effect of the intercourse with our polished neighbours was plainly to be discerned ; sbe spoke highly of our Gallic friends , and avered that far less of poverty and crime was to be found there than here .

      Leaving this village -we journeyed on , and shortly before twelve o'clock reached Heath . Here , just us we entered the place , we met a company of sporting gents ., who bad just returned from a dog-fight ; among them were a number from Sheffield , ft Sheffield dog had beea one of the combatants , and " great joy , " to the " city of soot , " had come off victor ) I arrived too late , to either appear in Bells Life as one of the patrons of this old English sport , or , as your correspondent , send you an account thereof . Without stopping wo pushed on , and shortly after

      leaving Heath , entered Hardwicke Park , the walk through which was delightful . On the shore of the lake we were met by two of our Sutton friends , and with them we baited for a few minutes at the New Inn , situated at one extremity of the Park ; we next ascended the hill , on which stands Hardwlcke Hall , and taking a cursory glunae at the exterior of the ancient castle in ruins , and the more modern ball , itself pretty ancient , we pursued our way ; a walk of about two hours more brought us to / Sutton , where we were received with that hearty welcome so characteristic of its inhabitants .

      That evening , the first of a series of Chartist concerts came off at the Royal Forester , the host of which , Mr . Turner , I found to be a younger brother of the unfortunate man ef the same name , who was executed with Brandrethat Darby , in the year 1817 , victims of the accursed ' spy system , —slaughtered for tbe purpose of stifling in blood the breaibing of new-bom liberty . We had some good singing ; that excellent Chartist , Mr . Q . Kendall presided , and I had the honour to respond to the toast of " The people 1 " Tuesday , a large open-air meeting was held at two o'clock , to petition Parliament in behalf of Jones . I addressed' the meeting for upwards of an hour . A spirited petition demanding inquiry Into the conduct of Baron Gurney was adopted and ordered to be sent to Mr . Duncombe for presentation .

      In the evening , the second concert was held at the Trooper , the room was crammed ; Mr . Charles Meakin presided . We had some excellent glee-singing , and I responded to "The expatriated patrlots . Frost , Williams , and Jones . " Tbe health of Mr . Roberta was drank with all tbe feonours . Wednesday , April l 9 \ h .- ^ Anm % crsary of ( he death of Lord Byron .- —This day nineteen years , the patriot bard expired in that eradle of liberty , that home of arts and arms , immortal Greece . " Clime of the unforgotten brave , Whose land from plain to mountain cave , Was freedom ' s home or glory ' s grave !"

      And curious enough , I had unconsciously fixed on this day to visit hiB tomb , I say unconsciously lor I had forgotten that the 19 th of April was the anniversary of the poet ' s death . We left Suttou at seven o'clock , taking our seats in the omnibus for Hucknall , a village about seven miles from Sutton ; our road lay partly through tbe magnificent grounds of John Musters , Esq . well-known as the successful rival of Lord Byron in the affections of tbe celebrated Miss Cbaworth , —the " Mary" of the " Hours of Idleness" ;—this accomplished and kind hearted lady died about ten years since . Some hundreds of beautiful deer ware sporting on each side of the road , while the sable inhabitants of a most extensive rookery , were opening their throats

      and giving vent to a sort of music , which though generally regarded as anything but melodious , has always bad its charms in my ears , and little affection as I have for the black-coated tribe generally , still I must admit that his Reverenee Parson Rook , has always been with me a particular favorite . On reaching Hucknall , vta were not long in procuring admission to the church , through which we were conducted by the sexton ' s son . Tbe massy tower and porch appear to be of great age , how old I could not learn , I am inclined to think that the body of the church ia of more modern date . Near to tbe communion table , in a vault beneath lie , the remains of the poet , on tbe left wall facing from—but neat to—the commvmion table . plain slab of white marble , » nd on it tbe following inscription : —

      In the Vault beneath Where many of bis ancestors and his mother are buried , Lie the remains of GEORGE GORDON NOEL BYRON , 1 Lord Byron , of Rochdale , In the County of Lancaster , the ! au thor of childe Harold ' s pilgbimase . He was born in London on the 22 nd of Jan . 1788 , He died at Misaolongbi , in Western Greece , on the 10 th of April , 1824 . ENGAGED IX TBE QLOAIOV 8 ATTBUrT 10 KSSTOKB

      war , tbafc he died fin 1679 aged 74 , and with him . ate buried his two wives , both named Elizibeth . Brace , the Abyssinian traveller , tells ns that when his toils were crowned with the long sought for object —" the source of [ the Niger , " the momentary feeling , of exultation was immediately followed by that of bitter disappointment , occasioned by the reflection , that how contemptible was the ripling stream he beheld in comparison with the ; sources of rivers in neighbouring countries to his own . Though I had suffered no toll , no hardship , though I had not travelled thousands of mile * to attain my , object , still a feeling of disappointment in spite of me kindled within , to me the idea is

      monstrous of thrusting the remains of one who loved nature so well , into a dark , dirty hole , called " consecrated" forsooth 11 The bosom of the " Eternal City " affording to Shelley a bed of rest is an idea ennobling and sublime , his resting-place is worthy of the sleeper —be who combined the mind of a God with the simplicity of a child . JBut Byron must be burled with his " ancestors . " What community of spirit'had the author ot " Childe Harold" with the feudal despots from wbom be descended ? What in common has tbe Queen ' s Bedchamber menial who now desecrates the title with liberty ' s minstrel from wbom be inherits it ? Why , Oh Byron t shouidst thou—«« i — Mix thy brave dust

      With stinking rogues that rot in dirty winding sheets , Surfeit-slain fools , the common dung o' tbe soil ?" Tbou who lovedst Nature so well , thou to whom the Btarry heavens , the mighty ocean , the majestic forest , the simplest flower of the field , the humblest Bongster of tbe grove , were each and all objects of adoration , ought thou not to have found another resting place ? If the " field of Marathon , " or the equally glorious battle-ground of Mtasolonghi , was not deemed fitting soil to receive thy ashes , sutely some more appropriated site could have been selected than the gloomy vault of a gloomy conventicle . Some spot of earth where the flowers would have bloomed , and the birds' snug sweet melody over thy grave !

      But I must to other subjects ;—! had supposed that I could have passed through Hucknall without being reminded that I was a Chartist , but not so ; on leaving the church I was immediately recognised , and na nay would be taken but speak I must ; accordingly I addreaaed a very respectable meeting , held close to the church-yard . j Letvii g Hucknall , we wended our way to Newstead , about four miles from the above place , and between three and four from Sutton . We easily obtained admission into the gardens ; we strolled through the principal portions , but of course did not see the whole of these delightful retreats—two objects of attraction must not be passed pvez ; the tree on which Byron cut his own and sister ' s name , and the simple , yet handsome monument erected over the grave of bis faithful dog . Tbe beau ' . iful liaes Inscribed thereon are generally

      known , and are too lengaty to repeat here . We next procured admission to the abbey , and were shown through the principal rooms by the housekeeper ; I shall not attempt a description of the beauties of the interior , as from the very limited time allowed to visitors , such as we were , without any introduction , it would be impossible to give anything like a faithful description ; but I wculd warmly urge upon all the admirers of the noble poet , yrho- may visit tbe county of Nottingham , to pay their respects to Newstead . I must not omit to mention two objects of particular interest , viz . Lord Byion ' s bed-chamber , furnished eta&ly as he left it , and the famous " skull" converted into a magnificent drinking cup . which I hud tbe pleasure of handling , but which I would much rather have bad the pleasure of drinking from ; on it are inscribed the well-known and appropriate tinea , of which tbe following must serve as a sample ;—

      " Start not—nor deem my spirit fled : In me behold the only akull , From wbiob unlike a living bead , Whatever flows is never dull . « I lived , I loved , I quaffed , like thee ; I died : let earth my bones resign : Pill up—tbou canst not injure me , The worm hath fouler lipa than thine . " Newstead Abbey j was founded by Henry II ., to expiate it is said , the murder of Thomas a Becket , it was decicated to the yirgin Mary and continued in the possession of the Church down to tbe dissolution of thdtnonaateries , whea Henry VIII . bestowed it on J 3 ir John Byron . As has been before stated tbe Byron's

      espoused the cause of Charles I ., and tbe Abbey sustained a considerable siege in the war of that King with bis Parliament Newstead was wrested from its owners by the victorious soldiers of the Commonwealth , but came again into the j possession of the Royal family , after the restoration , in which it continued until sold by the Noble Poet The greater portion of tbe Abbey has been restored and rebuilt by its present possessor . Colonel Wildman , and though the lines at the head of this narrative were no doubt but too applicable in the d . tys of the poet , they are not so now , tbe prophetic gleam contained in the following lines , having been realised under the \ guardianship of the liberal Colonel— \

      «« Haply thy sun , emerging , yet may shine , Tbee to irradiate with meridian ray ; Hours splendid Sm tbe past may still be thine , And bless tbjj future as thy former day . " We did not see the Gallant Colonel , be having taken horse and rode out with Lady Wildman , while we were in the gardens . I have much pleasure in adding that throughout the neighbouring county I everywhere beard the Colonei spoken of aa a truly liberal and excellenthearted gentleman . \

      How absurd is tbe idea ignorantly entertained by some , and wilfully and | wickedly promulgated by others of our political opponents , that we Chartists are a race of brutal Vandals , beat only on appropriating and destroying property ; why there is not a Chartist in Che land worthy « f the name , but would cheerfully devote life itself to protect from the hands of the spoiler , whether foreign or domestic , tbe shrine of genius—Newstead's holy fane ; and yet we are called destructives , by those who have built up their Moloch power on the destruction of the freedom and happiness of their fellow creatures , by those' who through lurid flame and purple gore , have , in this and every other land striven to crush the

      " Freedom which out God hath given Unto all beneath hia heaven . With their breath and from their birth Though guilt would sweep it from the earth , With a fierce and lavish hand Scattering nation's wealth like sand t Pouring nation ' s blood like water , In imperial seas of slaughter . " Bat vain are the calumnies , the persecution , tbe swords of tyranny ; the flood-gates of knowledge are opened , and the ocean of truth shall sweep to annihilation the sand-founded bulwarks of force and fraud . Leaving Newstead , a short walk brought us to Kirkby , where at tbe home of a real out and out democrat we stayed und refreshed ; from there making the best of our way to Sutton , which we reached shortly before seven o'clock , a little fatigued , but heartily gratified with our day ' s jaunt .

      That evening the third concert was held at the Crown and Woolpack . j We had a crowded house ; Mr . Win . Parker in the chair . An excellent brass band was in attendance , and I had the honour to respond to tbe healths of Messrs . Duncombe and O'Connor , and to that j of " The departed patriot * . " The evening ' s entertainments concluded by my proposing ( as in duty bound ) "Tbe health of the ladies who had favoured us with their company each evening , " which having been responded to with hearty good will , we retired to tbe tune of " rally around him .

      Leeds Woollen Markets , Tuesday , April 25 . —There was much more business doing on Saturday last , at both Cloth Halls than has been the case foe pome time , and tbe demand was kept on Tuesday . The dressers are now fully occupied , and we believe a better feeiing is manifest through every depart * ment of our staple trade . We shall rejoice exceedingly in a gradual revival , and hope soon to hare to record that the working classes generally , and notisolated branches , are in full work .

Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Apbil 22 . —The trade during the week has been confined to purchases made by consumers for present need : but , as % ho stocks in factors' hands are light , and supplies from all quarters only to a moderate extent , there is no accumulation of either English or Irish . Flour in warehouse . Few transactions in Oatmeal have taken place , the demand for this article haying been for some time on a very limited scale , Them was very little passing at our market this morning , and we repeat the quotations of Wheat nominally as on this day so ' nnight .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , April 24 th . — The supplies of Grain , into the port during last weak were moderately good of every description , partica * larly of Oats , the total arrival of which amounted to 9 , 6 C 3 qrs . The trade was generally throughout theweek slack for all Grain except for very superior samples , which met purchasess without much difficulty . . To this morning ' s market there was a fair show of samples of Wheat and Spring Corn from the home counties , and the condition of the former having somewhat improved Wheats have been takes

      off 2 s per qr from this day week , but up to this hour tbe stands are not cleared at the reduction . In Barley there has been little passing , and prices areconsequently unaltered from this day week . Fine-Oats realize quite as much money , but holders being firm for other descriptions has caused the trade to be rather inactive . Beans came to hand dry and ; fine , and have fetched prices equal to those of last week . Peas , both maple and white , are also fully as dear . We have no variation in the Flour market . Seeds of all sorts are only nominal at the

      quotations . London Smithfield Market , Monday , Aranv 24 . —For , many years there has not been so extraordinary a supply of Cattle as that of to day , and most persons connected with tbe market state thattney do not remember so large a one for an ordinary Monday ' s demand . The number of Sheep returned last night for to-day ' s supply was upwards of 41 , 000-and although the actual number on sale was some thousands less than this , still , it will be perceived , the supply was much too abundant for the wants of the butchers . So large a supply naturally produced . excessive dulness in the Mutton trade ,-and contributed to depress the market generally , and gave nsa

      to fears for future prospects , but it would appear that the cause of so large a supply as 35 t 600 at tnu period of the year has not arose from tne graziers indulging in similar apprehensions , but has resulted more from chance than anything else . To retain * very unfavourable opinion of the future state of trade from this one circumstance cannot but tend to cr ^? " * a dnlness which otherwise might not prevail , wnilsv to use a circumspection ia the forwardmg of Sneepfor"the next week or so would relieve themartje t from its present heaviness . Trade ruled gener » UJ dull this morning , the too plentiful supply ofShee ? affected the demand for everything else , and pne » r consequently declined from 2 d to 4 d , and even »<* I per stone . The number of Home-bred Beasts was I 3 , 100 ; the sale of which was heavy . at about 2 d » 4 ci , lower rates ; primest Scots scarcely making » lOd , and more was sold at the price of 3 s Id ; ex " 3 i 4 d

      lent serviceable Beef made no more than ano 3 s Gd , and inferior 2 a lOd to 3 s . Mutton was a very heavy sale throughout the day , the large supply of 35 , 500 Sheep giving the butchers an opportunity of offering very low prices , and the rates ^ uoteo below were with difficulty obtained , the rerj _ «»* Downs out of the Wool not making more than 2 a jWi and the more general price for such and half breos was 3 s 6 d out of the Wool , Polled Ewes 2 s lOd , aw Wethers 33 4 d . Those in the Wool made 4 d p » atone more ; the number remaining unsold at u * close was proportionally large with the sifpply & ° " fully adequate for next Friday ' s market .
