We throw back the lie in yocr teeth , relating to the opposition of the English trades to the success of Irish manufactuers . Just one word to Mr . Steel . We believe he is a fighting man , and we offer him a bet of & ten pound note that , if he says to O'Connor ' s face wfc&t he has , eoward-liko , Baid behind his back , that Fe * r £ U 3 O'Connor will know what to « y to him t just E 3 ¦ well » s he knows what to say to those who would call the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy nicknames .

William Russell recommends evert / individual to 59 every Monday morning to the Posl-Offn-e with a petition directed for tome member of Parliament , taking care that both ends of ihe petition * n * y be open , lhat it may go freeofptntage ; and to continue the practice of thus petitioning individually every week until the end t ) f ihe present session . Il would doubtless be one mode of annoying the enemy , but to make it effective it should be universal , and perseveringly persisted in .

A WEEK ' S DIAItY ON THE TREADMILL . " On Monday , the 22 ihI of Ftbraary , after dinn » r , I was exaiuiued by tue &urg « on , ain't reported lit for torture , and in ! mediately put upon t . ' ie wheel . My sufferings were ttill more intfcH 3 B than before , which I fin 4 to be uniformly th « case , whether from imirtased weukness or other causes I kno-. v not Tfiut 8 ama r . . 5 la , after labour , I was bo exhausted , that after suveral attempta , I left the greatest vart of my porridge untasted—bread I could cat none— paased a bltepless and painiul night .
" Twsduy tnovn \ ng , no 6 tiu and wearied , that it was with u-. fficulty I got my ciotht-g put on . At breakfast tried to eat ; but could not siuixeeil in getting one ounce of bread swallowed . At dinner could eat nothing . My suffering upon the niiii intense . Having eat uo ! hing nil day , and being alnnned for fear of injury to my system from want of fi ; o . l , forced myself to swallow some porridge , and utter repeated trials succeeded . The coasequenco was I sickened , nnd passed one of the most feverish and distressing nights that ever human being encliuvd . ** Wednesday morning , could eat nothing . At dinner the same . At night , after some boar ' s rest , managed to eat s small Joaf of bread and . some milk—pasaed a very restless and painful uigbt . - but slept about two hours .
•• Thursd-ty morning , rery weafe . My suffering on the mill increases in intensity . At breakfast eat a few moutbsful of bread—at dinner the sight of food'loathsome—sick—at supper could eat nothing—slept that night about an hour—extremely stiff and weak . " Friday , at breakfast could eat nothing . At dinner swallowed three or four spoonsful of soup ,-with a little bread , in the hope that my appetite was returning ; but very unwell , and very weak all the afternoon . At supper the very idea of eating sickening . Passed a very restless and usihappy night . " Saturday , the same . No return of nppetite . Find it difficult to keep my position upon the mill . Sufiering Tery severe . Weakness increasing fast
" Sunday morning , very unwelL Eat no breakfast . At dinner less exhausted . Eit a small portion of food . At supper still very unwell ; bul ; with difficulty eat my porridge . "On Monday morning felt rather tetter from th « Sunday ' s rest , &c . Employed , with about a dozen other persons , in scraping tho brick 'wails , and limewashlng the prison , which , although confessedly hard labour , yet I both eat and slept well after it , and find that I can do as ranch "work , to tho full , as any of my fellovr slaves , from which fact one of two things ia cruelly evident , that either the treadmill is aa instrument of puniBnment to botbarotu as to render its use disgraceful to a Christian country , or that my frame is bo peculiarly constituted as to render that ft torture to me which ia only hard labour to others .
" It must be obvious to all , who may learn tho fact , that my apprehension of a fatal termination being put to my life by the operation of the mill is anything "but imaginary , as it i 3 impossible for any human being to survive many -weeks such torture as I have above but very faintly described ; nor would it haTe been likely that 1 could have been able to havo kept hold on the mill many days longer , a fall from "which moat likely would causa * fractHred skull , or a broken limb ; and such , is the suffering state of niy mind and body -when on the mill , that such an event has ceased to be a matter of apprehension or alarm . 11 Thanks to the printing press , and the rapid , spread of knowledge amongst the maaaos , tbe QoemtlOa of

tho spy-system can no longer be kept secret ; our histories liiust one flay be known , and when known O ^ nnot fai l to produco in the public mind are-action unfovouTable to our persecutors . Indeed , I am of opinion , that ahready a con 6 i (' erable portion of public notice and sympathy is obtained for us and our suftVrlnga , that , as timu rolls on , will increase , aud the Government itself has provided the means of all others tbe best adapted , of keeping the public mind once directed to our case to be agitated for years , ilurtiu , a man of talent and ptrssnal bravery , with others , is now at liberty ; and it is likely that he will exert himself to make the case of his fellow sufferers known —in a few months more Vincent ( already ) and others , all men of talent , will be freed from bondage—tho
agitation , in the common course of things , will roll on , and , I doubt not , will , like th « snow-ball , increase as it goes . In six or seven months O'Connor , of himself a host , and a multitude of more will be added to the list ; and , if God in his infinite mercy spares mo to see the expiry of this imprisonment , in two years another humble instrument will be added to the number . Au * l tbus baa the Government providetl for three years agitation , by the end of which I give them leave to reckon the pruflt , and by which time , I doubt not , every highland glen , lowland valley , hamlet , town , city , and village , in our native land , will ring with the story of our woea and-wrongs .

TO THE WORKING MEM OF GREAT BRITAIN Mr Friends , —Daring a long protracted il ! nes « through the winter , it has afforded me peculiar pleasure to read in the columns of your own Journal—the Nott'iem Stur , tho records of your victories over the Household Suffrageists at Leeds , and the Leaguers in London . I have also been highly gratified at the reports of the' triumphal receptions which you have given to those champions of your cause who have suffered in your service . With respect to Martin , there is little , doubt that au
action would lie against the Governor of the prison for putting him on the treadmill , and for every hour he was confined in th >; dirk hole for refusing to comply with this unjust demand , as though a particular Act of Parliament gave power to tbe magistrates t » put certain prisoners to hard labour , though ' not sentenced to the same ; yet it is clear the intention of the Act contemplated only such hard labour as would be of a remunerating character , ¦ which it would be incumbent on the Governor to shew that the labour of tho treadmill was .
I ? ejoice to learn that Carwer Is at length off tho treadmill . I trust , through your exertions , Peddie aiso will be soon delivered fioin this inhuman torture . It will be to-the lasting disgrace of the present Ministry , that the future biographer of the " poet , PedUie , " will have to record that he suffered worse treatment at Bevevluy , under a Whig Government , than the " poet , Montgomery , " did at Sheffield , or the " port , Leigh Hunt , " in London , from a Tory Administration . It is most gratifying to find that O'Brien is not forgotten by you , and ttva . t a fund ia r . miug to purchase and present him with a printing prtss and type . This is as it should be and is due to him by the people , in grateful remembrance of the editor of tho Poor Han ' s Guardian .
And now , what ia to bo done for O'Connor ? The position -which he occupies , uud his unwillingness to accept anything of a pecuniary character from the people , might ronder it difficult to uiuik your sense of his services in an especial manner . Might not , however ,, a . fund bo raised , to be called '' The O'Connor Fund , " with a view to boar his cxponses in getting into Parliament ? That is tho pl . ee tor him ; for while he \ n ono who would never shrink from meeting you ia your popular assemblies , his presence in Parliament would quell the enemies of the people , aud in five years would , I have little doubt , maku the House too hot for some of the officials . Persevering in purpose , and ready in mental resources , he -would know how to light the forms of the House against its votes ; and , Fabiuslifce , would even win the victory cunctando , by dalaying all other business till the people ' s rights are conceded .
Such a fund would enable each of you to mark the iii ^ h sense you have of his past serviced and suillringj , aud would do honour to hiia , while it wuuld roally benefit yourselves . I am , Dear fellow-countrymen , Your faithful friend , William Villiebs Sanket .

CHARTIST PERSECUTION IN IRELAND . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Liverpool , April 12 th , 1841 . SlK , —I aond you for insertion a verbatim copy of a letter which I received last week in answer to a communication from me , from my friend and fellow labour- , r in the ctuse of democracy , and which I concoive to ba my duty to make public , having his consent to that efi ' ect , as showing , in true and not overcharged colours , tho amount of assistance which we , in our endeavours to procure the establishment of the principles of tho People ' s Charter , may calculate upon from those who , by » system of legalised robbery , have contrived to attain a st *; p higher in socisty than ourselves , and a junction with whom some parties whom I would still with to iK- 'lieve honest , are in a pains-taking-wny thrusting upon us for our adoption .
I can scarcely trust myself to speak on the conduct of him , who in his-capacity as a minister of Gc-d , und a p . istoi' of that chiu-ch to which I myseif , in common with my warm hearted aad noblo minded frit-nd Mc-lion . belong , h : is felt it to bo his duty to hurl his donuuoiations publicly from a spot vrhich is hc-ld to bu God ' s s . iiiotuary , aud dedicated , to ttw worship of tliO Most High , against e . na whose only crime was assorting tii . u man stood equal with man in the presence of his Creator , as tho common Father of the hutu-Au family .

They prevailed upon Lord Ferrard to eject my mother
from tht ) iiousa whi ; h alia had occupied for twenty years , and they so arranged affairs , that she could not procure auo ' . hvt in Autiim , enly on condition that 1 should loavo the town . As mutters stood , J chosa the alternative ; and , O heaven , M'Cartney , can you believe it , I was denounced from the altar , yea , that same altar , at which , from my childhood , I bad worshipped my & > d .

If tho tlssiv-3 to see Q-uu ' s creation happy , be tingad with the&e qualities , then am I the offender . If the desire to see my bdoved country rescued from the vultures who feed arid fatten on the misery they create ; who riot in the blood-sweat of her toil-worn sons , ba a crime , then am I a criminal ; but no , I glory in niy principles ; in my position as an Irishman determined to be free .
Sly dear Friend , —Since my country struck for her liberty , ia 1798 , to the present moment , never waa a man more relentlessly and determinedly persecuted , than I have been by the bloodsuckers of Antrim , and none , penult me to say , more respected by the intelligent of my owu order . 1 ' va a Bigh for thoBe thaVlove me , A smile for those who hate , Whatever sways above met , l"ve a heart for any fate .

Since the abore was written , we have received tie Dublin Monitor of Tuesday ; and we perceive that Chartism sticks to the stomach of the hoary old traitor like an emetic . It is a bitter pill fbr him ! Bnt he has discovered an antidote most rich and kindly in the " new more . " At his " Royal Loyal " meeting of Tuesday . *• Mr . 0 'Co . v « ell wonld take the opportunity from that ppot of calling upon his conatrymea in England totally to avoid any connexion with the Chartists . Their advocacy of Repeal would tend moft to impede it , and TiiE SUCCESS OF CHARTISM IN IRELAND , which was
impossible . WOULD ALONE MAKE HIM ABANDON HIS PRESENT AGITATION . ( Hear , hear . ) He understood ihut there was an Association about being fermtd , ai the head of vchich were Messrs . Lottett , Collins , and Cleave—three of as good men cs were in the community—having for its object BOVSBROLO SUFFRAGE and SHORTERIRQ THEDURATION OF PARLIAMENT , and PERFECTLY CNCOKNECTED WITH Fzaegus sod his wild associates ; and instead of impeding reform in England , / Ai * Association might be made exceedingly useful tjn » eji paopxa management , and tho Kuidance of the men whose names he mentioned .
