With the arrangements we have in general bees content ; and with respect ts the latter , whenever ws hurt had to appeal to the General Poet-oftee authorities , we have invariably fonnd a readines * to inquire , and s promptitude to redrew in th * highest degrse

      latisfac-It it , tberefore > with i » ffl . ot tonied tiling toirardt the Post-office auUiorittw , that we mate the followmg aBimadTemou upon their recent Railway H * Q arrangements . We take this coarse , firstly , to * how a great portion of our readers how we stand in relation to them through those arrangements ; and , secondly , to call the attention of the proper partie * to some excessively bad and injurious arrangements sow ranting , with , a Tiew to an effective alteration . ytfh has been said and written in praise of tbe Railroad with

      advantages of conveyance compared - toe old stage and mail coach travelling . Amongst thoee advantages superior speed , quickness of transit , has always been placed the first Whatever may be the adrantages to passengers in this respect—( and we at once say they are great and many;—we most state the fact , that , as far as the conveyance of letters and newspapers ont of I < e «> ds is concerned , ( he sew weflkod is far worse than tit vid one , in many , very many eases . Mere time ia consumed between the hoar of posting and the boar of delivery ; and in some cases the transit iB tnneh slower .

      f ? e will specify . jo secure the delivery of letters or newspapers in ] Glasgow , and a great portion of Scotland on j Saturday morning , it is necessary that they should be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening ; before ; six o ' clock ! J . ' Thirty-seTen hoars between Leeds I and Glasgow ! and by Railway , too !!! Under the old mail-coach system , if they were posted by j one-o'clock on Friday afternooon , they were d&- \ livered just as soon as they now are , though re- j quired to be posted ninetem hours sooner . j * , apcuntbe deSvery of letters or newspapers in i jtMTQitlij -Ssudeziaad , said towns adjacent , on j gafcrday morning , it ia necessary that thty should > i i j ' I i ! | i i !

      je posted is Leeds on Thursday evening befere six o ' clock i Tbirty-seTen hears between Leeds and JKeweasfle l To secure a morning ' s delivery under tip " old system , " we had only to post at one on Friday afternoon . , < To necwe a morninfs d « Uvery in Tori and adjacent places , it is necessary to poet in Leeds before six ! o'clock 3 » e previous evening ; thirteen hours before j delivery , though we have a Railway direct to York , j sad the journey performed regularly many times j a-day in eighty minute * 1 TJndei the " old system" j we coald post up to two o'clock in the morning , j aad have . the morning ' s delivery . Thus the ) « acaeleraUd ' system revokes us to post letters ; from a place e ^ hty minutes distant , full eight hours j did the

      sooner t ^"" we under Mail Couch , dynasty . ' . H » e foDy and absardity of the arnmgpmftnts we com . plain of will be more fully apparent wben we : state , that tbo Mwl bags for a great portion of - the places we "have above enumerated , are carried i out of Leeds'by a Mail which leaves between six jodBeven in the evening ; th \ t they are deposited : st the Kormanton Railway Station ( just ten miles out of Leeds ) within twenty minutes after that Mail starts from Leeds ; axd thai they are left ftere US . ** o'dod ntA mtrmag , when they are i cosveyed forwards to York and 2 fewcastls by tha j Mail which started out of London more than an bxmr after the said York and Newcastle letters

' Tt 166016 a morning ' s delivery for letters and newspapas in H * w « T , Hebden-bridge , Todmorden , Rochdale , CHdham , Ashton , Manchester , Liverpool , and indeed all Lancashire , it is necessary that they are posted before six o ' clock the previous evening . ' though -we bare a railway communication direct , which makes Manchester only two and balf hours rti » tiiTi » - Under the old regime of " as " - mail coaches , we could post in Leeds up to twelve o'clock the previous night , and the letters were delivered in Manchester and the other places we have named , just as soon as they now are !! Dublin letters were , and are , also conveyed by the san « mails ; the Leeds box for letters was regularly open

      till ten at night ; so that the merchants of Leeds ss 4 all sending letters are obliged to post th-. m " ^ all four hours sooner under ti » " acoderalei" sysi " t ^ ja t }* y under the old one ! Indeed , out of all the recent Railway Mail arrangement , tie pnblie of Leeds derive no benefit from any one , in the shape of accelerated despatch , if we except tbe Southern MaQ to London . With every other Hail they are worse off ttcw than tbey were brfore . That is , they are obliged to post their letters sooner to secure a delivery at ibe same time in the morning . lfces ^ thing * oBght not to be . They o * H loudly for e&aagc We commend the f * cU we hav « stated to the notice of the Postmaster General .

      fftte w * required to point out a remedy for each particular state ef things above enumerated , we should reply that this is no part of our business , j W « will , however , point out the fact , that a tain leaves the Leeds Stajkss at forty minutes past five is the mornisjr which meets the London and York , and the London and Leeds ! Mail at Nonnanton , and receives bags frodMt ! there , and cccveys them to Manchester . Hoir , we ask why tbe York bags and the Newcastle bags , can- ; not be kept open in Leeds till the ofam doses at < ten at night , and be conveyed to Tionbanton by ' ( his train in the morning ? They would be ia i

      fame eneugh to be forwarded * by the very mail ; ¦ which boy carries them , after they Care laid in I tbe railway station n £ &dy twelve hours . This at- j nngeroent would give the people of Leeds fall four j bouts more for the posting of thfcir letters to those two places than the present system gives . And , j we may farther ask , why cannot a bag be despatched j 7 the same Train , with letters for Manchester j up to ten the previous night This would give the ; people of Leeds four hours more , es far as Man-: Chester is concerned ; and the people of Manchester \ wsold be benefited , in the receipt of such letters , j fully seven hours ! j i ! | 1 ;

      Wmwspeet to the Glasgow district , some more direct sad expeditious mode must be found . The Leeds a&d Ciilie-le Mail was timed , so as to arrive in tbe latter place just half an hour after the departure of the Glasgow Mail : consequently tbe bags brought by the Leeds and Carlisle Mail had to -vrait either tTFerre or tsreEiy-four hoUTB before thej eoaid bs forwarded . ' . ' r It is tkcrtfoTe necessary to forward letters from Leeds to Glasgow by tray of if ( achesUr ¦ ' . ' . ' Admirable arrangement 1 . Cannot > this be mended ?

      \ ; SUNUERIiAKD . —Tkktotalism . —On Mon-( day erening , the 19 ih instant , a public meeting was i held in the Aicsbde long Toom , Sonderland , Mr . Nij cbol&s Smirke in the chair . After moBt appropriate ! addresses from the Chairman , Mr . John Hil ] , and | Mr . Alexander Wilson , Mr . Williams , who had be « n ! specially invited by the Committee of the Society ¦ \<> deliver an -jiddress , arose and Bpoke at eonsider-{ able length . He began by briefly glancing at the j many evils of . intemperance—showed that physically , I mentaDy , sooia ]] y , snd nationaiJf , it was the destrucj tive source of enormous evils ; that all evil called for ¦ a remedy ; that the great and manifold evils of in-! temperance called specially for the streuuoua efforts of the philanthropist and the patriot for their

      sup-- ! ; j pression . Mr . Williams then went on to point out the mean ? by which theso necessary efforts might be successfully brought into operation . He examined ! the different projects of different individuals , for the removal of the universally acknowledged evils of drunkenness . He showed that these projects were nearly as numerous as the projectors ; that iuadaptar ion io the necessities of ibe case to which they were to apply , were their invariable characteristics . Whftre were their trophieB ? Where were the reformations that they had effected ! Nothing of the sort could be pointed to in support of their schemes . He J attributed the failure of every effort to suppress ¦ drunkenness , by preventing it in the future and cur-! ing it in the past , to the fact , that they all stopped

      short of , total abstinence . No definite , practicable , de&nable scheme for the production of & universal temperance reformation , short of total abstinence , had ever yet been propoDnded . Mr . WjJliams then proceeded to shew in detail , by startling and conclusive facts and arguments , that total abstinence was a remedy . Indeed , that it was a remedy was universally admitted . But the speaker proceeded farther to utterly subvert and destroy all opposition —all rational opposition—by incontestibly establishing that total abstinence was not only a means for effecting a temperance reformation , but that it was the only means , and that it was recommended by efficiency , practicability , and cheapness . Mr . Williams then went on to establish that the plan of total abstinence was of univeraai application—that to carry out a plan of temperance reform which had

      been proved to be the efficient , the only efficient one , i was a moral daty—that moral duties were &f universal application—that hence it was ; he duty of all to unite for the purpose of effecting the declared and attainable ends contemplated by Total Abstii pence Societies . As further motives to co-operation I in thiB great work of moral reform , Mr . Williams concluded by contrasting the superior glory of the ; objects contemplated , and issues to be obtained , by ' these Societies , with tbe objects and issues of the ; greatest warriors that had ever lived , and the most glorious" wars that were ever vron . The address ¦ throughout , and at its clore , was loudly applauded . , Between thirty and forty signatures to the total : abstinence pledge were obtained . It was announced at the close that Jlr . Candlkh , draper , would a . ddres 3 the meeting next Monday evening .

      HULXh—Kin g ston Uxity . —The Independent Order of Odd Fellows , Kingston Unity , held their first anniversary in Hull , on Monday last . In the afternoon , a great number of the brethren , wearing the emblems of the order , assembled in Uabournestreet , and afttr being arranged according to their respective Lodges , namely , Oiiva Branch , Princ * Regent , Andrew Marvel , Sir William Lowthorp , aad Brotherly Lave ; the band struck up u God save the Queen , " and the procession moved slewiy tnrongh the principal streets and its environs . Not a more orderly and respectable procession of the kind has been seen in Hall for some tisie , and a very great majority appeared to be quite young m « n . Tbe display oi flags and banners w&s very imposing

      and greatly admired , particularly the district flag , which bore a representation of King Edward presenting the Charter to tbe ancient fishermen of Hall ; a purple Sag , vfith a full-lenglh portrait of that almost inimitable patriot , Andrew Marvel ; and a purple silk banner , with the emblem of Charity beau ; if ally painted and gilded . Great attraction wa 3 also created by the first banner , which bore the design of the " " good Samaritan , " and said to be ? resented by the ladies friendly to the Kingston Jnity ; and also to the last , on which was glided the cresi oF Sir William Lowthorp , late mayor of Hull ,

      and by whom the Unity is patronised , and before whose residence the band played the national air , and the brethren gave three neartj hnzzas . After the procession had returned io Osbourne-street , the brethren separated , and in the evening dined at their respective Lodges . Since the formation of this Unity , it has doubled its number , and the tmited stock of two of its Lodges is one thousand ponnds 3 The Order is in a very healthful and prosperous Bt £ te , and there is little doubt but thai ere long the Kingston Unity will spread far and wide , as its sole object is the good of each , and tbe good of all who eBlist under its banner .

      EDIlTBTJIiGH — There is much talk about the legality of Maeanlay and Craig ' s election ; the general notion is , that Thompson and Lowery are the legal members . . The following article is from the Edinburgh Evening Post , a Tory paper published on Wednesday and Saturday : — Messes . MacabikUET AJfD Gibso 5 Cbaig is DaKGeb . —The question iB j generally discns 3 ed whether these gentlemen are the i two legally elected members for Edinburgh , or whe-| ther Messn . Thompson and Lowery , the Chartists , are not entitled to that honour . It is clear from | the terms of the Reform Act , that in the event of a { show of hands being taken , and a poll demanded by j the candidates in the minority , the poll is ifliperai tively enjoined u i ; shall take place . " In this case , ; however , one of the Chartist candidates and the proj poser of the other expressed their desire that no poll

      I shonid rake pjace ; but it was then too late . The i Sheriff had only one duty to perform , to comply wiilj j the terms of the act , which left him no alternative , j bat to proceed to the poll , in order to test tbe show j of hand * . The mover and seconder , or even a candi-• date himself , has no power to withdraw , after his j name is . fairly in the haads of the electors . If these I views be correct , the Edinburgh election was deteri mined by & show ot ha-nde , and , therefore , Messrs . : Thompson and Lowery are the Jcgal representatives . Whether they will take the necessary 6 teps to esla-: blish their right to this dignity remainB to be Been . " I —Sj there appears to be a chance of having one of '¦ two questions settled : have the Chartists the honor so be the members X or can they contest elections at the hustings free from tbe expence of going to the ' ¦ poll !

      TO THE ED 1 T 0 B OP THE NORTHEKN STAB . Sir , —Ad insertion of the following statement of fact ? , in vindication of character , will greatly oblige : — I am a member of the National Association , residing at Newport , in the County of Monmoutb . On Monday night previous to the day of nomination at Monmooth , we had a meeting , when we had a letter from Dr . Price , stating his intention to come forward to offer himself a candidate , and desiring Mr . Edwards to wait until his arrival at Newport , which he declined , ( though the Association had promised to pay his expenses , ) stating that he

      was going on his own business . Having bailed * person to appear at the Quarter Sessions I started early for Uslr . Soon after my arrival there , Messrs . Edwards and Dickison arri red , and called at the public-honse where I pat np . They told me they were going to Monmouth , and I said if the trial would be over in due time , that I should be there mvself that night . I went to the Hall , and found that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill . On my return from the Hall , I met Edwards on the steps of the Hall , whom I informed that my business was over . He told me that I might come to Monmouth with him and Dickison . We arrived at Monmouth about two o ' clock . We put up at tbe Angel , and took our dinner at the l&ree room . After

      dinner , Edwards went out to see ( as he said ) Mr . Battery . He came back in a few minutes , and said that Buttery was at Usk , and that he had a trial there . We went ont together , with a view of seeing the town . I met with one of onr Association Councilmen , and told him I had something to Eay to him . I told him that Edwards was not our man to be nominated , but Mr . Price ; and that I should be very happy for the whole Council to meet , in order that I might make known the whole truth to them . This conversation took place before a Mr . Taylor's door , who is another council man . I was icvited t * tea to Mr . Buttery ' s , and went , where a great many of the conncilmfen had assmbled . I told them that Edwards had not come there at the

      request of % hs association , bat Of his own accord ; that we had written to Mr . Price , desiring him to come forward as a candidate in opposition to Mr . Blewitt , that Mr . Price had written a reply , stating that he was not only ready and willing to serve the will of the sovereign people if such a man as he was , should be considered by a clear majority of the peopie worthy of being put in nomination at the next general sale of the cation to represent us . I told them that the coddcjI met on Sunday night , at Edwards' house , when and where Price ' s letter was read . On Monday morning we sent a messenger to Mr . Price , who returned that night bearing his letter , which stated that he wonld be at Newport on Tuesday morning , and that he wished to see Edwards particularly before he proceeded to Monmouth in order to know whether the people were or-

      ganized enough to return * Chartist candidate by * show of hands . This letter was read in the hearing f Edwards . We bagged of Mm to stop for Mr . Price , but he wonld not , stating that he wanted to see Mr . Buttery . A . dear © to have a requisition drawn up was made known , and Edwards promised to have it ready by Monday ' night , on which ni ^ ht we had a meeting , when Edwards declined having anything to do with Mr . Price . We asked him if he had the requisition ready , according to bis promise . He said he knew nothing at all about it , and would not h » re anything to do with it . I told the Council that they aught fairly see Edward ' s disposition , and that he would not only vote for Mr . Blewitt , but that he wonld also induce every one that he oould

      to rote for him likewise ; therefore , that we had broke all connections with him , and , whatever they would do , for them not to nominate Edwards , in the event that Mr . Price should not come forth . Tbe same night , a public meeting was called , at which Edwards and IMokison delivered speeohes . Edwards proposed himself as a candidate , and never mentioned the name of Mr , Price . Here I acknowledge that I ought to have contradicted him ; but , thinking it Ibe Chairman ' s duty , I refrained . Before the meeting broke up , Mr . Buttery arrived , and I was desired to step back , in order to state to Mr . Buttery what I ha « T previously stated to the Council , which I faithfully did , and a letter from the Secretary at Newport

      was received and read , stating the same facts as I had done . Mr . Buttery asked me what waa to be done with the letter , whether it would bo best to shew it to Edwards and Dickisen , or not . I said , " Shew it , most undoubtedly ; in order to know what they will say about it . ? Consequently , 11 v . Buttery took tbe letter to them at the Angel , aud I remained at Mr . Battery ' s house . Shortly afterwards , I went to the Angel . The first question Mr . Buttery asked Dickison was , "»/ he was prepared to denounce Mr . Blewitt , not personally , but as a supporter of the present shuffling Government . " Ha declared then and there that he would not . The same question was put to Edwards , wbo answored , unhesitatingly , that he was prepared , and would denounce Mr . Blewitt

      as a supporter of a base Government . On Wednesday morning , very early , the Secretary of the Newport Association , arrived with a letter from Mr . Pr ice , stating that he was coming unprovided—that he shwxld cot arrive at Monmouth in due time—that they were at full liberty to make ase . of . hia name ou every requisite occasion . This caused the Chartists of Monmoiith ; to feat that if Mr . Price Bhould not arrive in due time , be should not have the majority by ihe show of hands . Edwards stated it" Mr . Priee should come , that he would propose him , and that Dickison would second him / These were the last words I heard at tho Angel . We went out together , but Edwards , Dickinson , and others went to the Mayor on some business unknown

      to me ; I proceeded to the Hall , the place of nomination . Soon afterwards I saw Edwards there ; I sat cot far from tbe place where he stood . Before the business commenced , a note was delivered to Edwards , the contents of which 1 knew not ; but soon afterwards I saw one of the hand bills , ( calling on Mr . Price to come forward , ) delivered into the Mayor's bands , and another note delivered to Edwards , the contents of which also I knew not then . I heard a voice calling Mr . Buttery out , when Edwards rose up his arm and said , Bnttery , stop where you are , don't move . " I have seen the last note which Edwards received , which stated that Mr . Price had arrived aud desired him to resign and propose Mr . Price ,

      as he had proposed in the morning , which he refused to do , and wrote with a pencil the following reply , "You must do your own work yourselves when th « time comes . " The last words that he spoke at the Hall wore , that he-had ' given his vote to Mr . Blevvitt , for he had no wish to put him to any cxpesce . I 6 oon left the Hall and entered the Angel , whe | re I saw Mr . Rogers ( Mr . Blewitt ' a great' supporter and Republican ) , and Edwards , and Dickison in a close conversation . As I entered the room , DickiBon told Rogers that I was a moralforce ChartiBt . Mr . Rogers asked me what I would drink ? I answered that I would not drink anything , that I was a teetotaller ; then he requested me to acoept of a bottle of soda water , which I did . I heard Mr . Rogers say that he would rather than ten pounds if things went off as they Were intendod : Tl

      but that it was that Buttery ' s" fault . I told Edwards that be had condemned himself by the last words he spoke in Court ; to which he made no reply . Mr . Rogers then said , " let us go and try to settle it . Edwards , Dickison , and Rogers Went ont together , and I was desired to remain behind ; but I soon went oat after them . 1 saw Dickison in the street , though I did not see neither Edwards nor Roger * .. I left Monmouth , and rode home in company with Edwards and Dickison . Between Utik and Caurleon 1 told Edwards that I was glad Mr . Blewitt was obliged to come to the poll after all ; Edwards replied , he did not know what to do ; but he supposed he was bound to vote for Lira tomorrow ; when I exclaimed , " Good God , poll for him , what is it you mean ? " When Dickison replied , " 0 , no , there is no need for you to do that , " and the conversation dropped .

      J w ; 3 h to know on what account Mr . Edwarda fMti » clinedtb vole again for Mr . Blevntt : fa it on account of Mr . Blewitt ' s application to the Secretary of State , to have Frost , Williams , and Jones tried by a Speoial Commission 1 or because Mr . Blewitt came to a certain meeitng , convened on last New Year ' s-day , to intimidate the friends of Frost , Williams , and Jones ! or , because he left London for Newport the time petitions were to be presented to the House of CominonB for the liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all political prisoners , and returned the following night to vote for Ministers 1 or for having

      apprehtnded him ( Edwards ) on the Queen ' s highway , without having any warrant for his apprehension . I defy Mr . Edwards or any other man to point OUt any legitimate steps Mr . Blewitt has taken either in or out of the House of Commons , to advance the Chartist cause ! Would I vote for such a man ? No never ! I would rather live and die in poverty , than I would accept a penny from either a Whig or a Tory , and I am . Sir , Yours , &o . Jonah Williams , tailor , Llanarthy-street .

      MB . B . J . RICHARDSON AND THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE CHARTISTS . TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND Friends , —We have read with some little astonishment a letter in the Star of last Saturday , signed " R . J . Richardson , " and reflecting severely on the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , in regard of some money that he alleges is due to him for printing , && for tbe great demonstration in September , 1838 , and for which , he states , Mr . George Condy and others are likely to involve him in trouble . Now , Friends , our object in thus addressing yon la , that we wish yon to withhold your verdict , as there is a proper committee appointed to make all the necessary enquiry into the debt alleged to be due to him , and it is hoped that , by next week , Ifce Committee will hare a full report ready for the public . Signed on behalf the Tib-street Association , James Wheeler , Chairman . Manchester , 29 th July , 1841 ,

      [ In reference to this matter , we have several other communications from different quarters ; some of them following : eut Mr , Kicharduon ' a appeal , and severely censuring the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , for their neglect ot duty to him ; ethers , from the the neighbottrood of Manchester , strongly denouncing Mr . Richardson , and acquitting the Associated Chartists of all blame . In this state of things , we shall wait , before inserting any of them , for the report of the comnnttee alluded to by Mr . Wheeler . —Ed . ]

      THINGS AS THET ARE . TO THE KDITOE OP THE N 0 HTHEBN STAR . Sib , —The noise , bustle , trickery , deception and humbug , bo conspicuously manifested by the rival factions during the recent straggle for political ascendancy , having now almost subsided , and as the public mind la becoming more tranquillised , we , the Chartists , ought now to attend to onr own affairs , and prosecute our warfare against every antagonist power , no matter under what name ft be distinguished , that militates against our sacred cause , which has for its object the promotion and security of the greatest possible happiness to all .

      The public mind has been too much stultified by the adoption of doable-meaning and unmeaning terms , such as " practical reform , " " extension of the suffrage , " " full , free , and fair representation , " && , and even the most consummate tyrants that ever trot ! the surface of the globe have assumed the name of " Liberals , " while the Fox and Goose Club , which consisted of a few disconifitted Corn Law Leaguers , had the effrontery to arrogate to themselves the honourable appellation of " Radical Reformers . " Daring the recent elections it has been proved to the moat sceptical that the balance of power is in enx

      hands . Air . O'Connor has repeatedly stated that to be the fact , prier to the recent " appeal to the popular will , " and the factions as frequently laughed at the idea ; but now how stands the matter ? Why , both the Whigs and Tories know , and confess , that without us they can do nothing . The Whigs ascribe their defeat to Chartist influence , and the Tories know that Chartist opposition to Whig domination has given them , for the present , a victory over their brethren in iniquity . It can no longer be denied that the despised Chartists can kick the beam on either Bide , even although " Little Finality" and his adherents have said " Ye shall have no part or lot in the matter . "

      Disputes have arisen respecting the policy and the Impolicy of rapportiag the Tories in preference to the Whigs during the recent contested elections . As such disputes have arisen between " good men and true , "—

      as no principle has been compromised—no blinking of oar demand , and no serious breach been occasioned , I hall merely wy , as a looker on , ( having taken no part in tbe affidr . ) let peace and cqbcoiA prevail in our ranks ; let aU bickering cease , and let onr great cchool-master ( O'Brien ) , and onr unconquerable General ( O'Connor ) , shake hands , and rejoice , with us ,: that the election movement baa shown to friend and foe that we have a power which most not be trifled with . And what server more forcibly to evince oar power—our moral strength—ia the fact that a vast portion ef our army remained inactive , and kept in quarters , deeming the conflict between the two parties of too little importance to demand their aid .

      Now , let not the Tories '' lay the flittering unction to their souls" that there Is any reaction in their favour ; if they do , they will find themselves grievously mistaken . They have done nothing to merit popular support : the expectations ot the people ate not directed towards them ; and were it not for the resolve of the unenfranchised Chartist * to evince their Strength , and to shew that a Whig " appeal to the popular will " oould be dealt with according to the deserts of that tyrannieal and persecuting faction , tho Tories would not have shouted (< Victory" through tiie land . The ChaTtists are now on the vantage ground , and it must be retained ; all minor difference and splitting of hairs must be laid aside , and a hearty pull , " a strang pull , and a pull altogether" made for the overthrow of aristocratic domination , and the establishment of the pure principles of democracy .

      Surely , the " Finality" clique and the Educationmongers will throw aside their fiddles , seeing that in every instance where the "ignorant" Chartists have ha * an opportunity of standing side by side with the titled aspirants to senatorial honours , the former have far surpassed the latter in sound sense and close reasoning . Never has the imbecility and consummate ignorance of both factions been made more palpable than during the present election movements . Tbe masterminds of Whiggery have dwindled into Insignificance ; and the Ciceroes of Toryism have been shewn notoue whit

      superior to second or third class school-boys , wher ever the voice of the self-taught chartiat has been raised in elucidation of the principles of good government . The science of government is now better understood by our missionaries than by those who are dubbed slat © amen and senators . Halt & dozun ttwe&d-baie coated Chartist lecturers would be of more essential service to her Majesty ft&d the paople , than any Cabinet that could be formed from college-bred materials . However , as I have no hope that Royalty will take counsel of men who have been tutored in the school of experience , we most content ourselves with treading at a distance .

      Well , I have said we are now on the ' vantage ground , and we must retain it , as every artifice will bo made to dislodge us . Every attempt to create division by the introduction of measures of " expediency" must be opposed . Step-by-step doctrines must ba manfully resisted , and now th <» t evidence has been given to both factions of our strength , we must be proof against every trick they employ to court our support Oar motto is , "Universal Suffrage , and no Surrender , ' and to it we must adhere . The missionaries that nave been , or are now , employed have done incalculable good . Let them ge on in the coarse they have hitherto pursued , aud let tUa Cbftltistff , generally , stand firm and support them , and ere long , we shall be blessed with the full fruition of our rights .

      We want no propounding of new schemes—those only tend to district the public mind ; our principles are stript of all ambiguity and the mode now pursued of carrying them into operation is , peaceful , "legal , " and effective , and carries terror into the enemies' camp . Goon , then , in the same track . Let the messengers of political truth go forth as they have recently done , and their efforts must be crowned with success . I am glad when I see old and tried friends working in tbe field ; and I , this morning , had the pleasure of receiving a letter from Mr . Skevington , of Loughborough , stating his intention of making a tour northwards . The people have confided their interests to his hands on two important occasions—he being delegated to the National Convention , and also to the Political Fritonera' Convention j and I doubt not but his presence will be acceptable in every town he may visit

      As his letter is short , I beg you will insert it . It is as follows : — . " Loughboiough , July 17 , 18 tl . " DeaB Rider , —I purpose to visit Mr . O'Connor at York , and lecture at a few of the places as 1 go through , to raise the expense ; I have , therefore , token the liberty to trouble you to make arrangements for Barnsley on the 29 th , Wakeueld or Leeds on the 30 th , York on the 31 st ; and I have thought of Hull on the 2 nd , GaMborongh on the 3 rd , and Lincoln on the 4 th , if you think it would be well ; if not , say Bradford , Halifax , HuddereEeld , and Dewsbury . : * Will you have the kindness to adopt that mode you think best , and let me hear from you ? " I am to be at Nottingham on the 26 th , Mansfield on the 27 th , and Chesterfield on the 28 th . <• I hope you are well in health , and that I shall have the pleasure of seeing you OU my way . " Your early attention will greatly oblige ,

      " Yours , In the cause of right , "John Skevington . " Now , Sir , allow me to state my waiingttess to do all I can to assist all who have the like object in view , with my friend Skevington , and that I should deem it no trouble whatever to assist in making every arrangement for him or for any ether advocate of the Charter ; but , unfortunately , I have no correspondence with our brethren in any of the towns he names ( Leeds excepted ) and , consequently , I cannot address the secretaries of the varieua associations . He knows how , and when , I was shelved ; since thftn , I have acted indedpendent of every man , though ever willing to aid all to the utmost of my power ; therefore I have no other method to pursue than requesting you to insert bis letter , and to permit me to beg the attention of our friends to its contents . They will perceive the dates and can correspond with Mr . S . and make their own arrangements .

      I will not advise Mr . Skevington as to his route , as no man can go wrong who goes forth with the Charter in his hand . Let the Associations see to this—it is their business . Yours truly , Wiiuam Rider . Leeds , July 19 th , 1841 .

      Repeal awd Chartism in Iuelasd . —We give the following from the Dublin World . Onr readers will perceive that it is from the correspondent of the World , in Cork , and it tells a tale of fearful dooming for the factions in Hi-feted Ireland . — "Cork—( From our own Correspondent . ) —Onr dty election has ended , CoJonel Cbatterian ' s agents baring enterei a protest , and Messrs . CaUaghan and Murphy are oar representatives , notwithstanding that a canuie Scotchman' named Camegie , assnied tha poor fleeced Colonel that he would at last beat tOO Papuh priests . This election ba » fliveu birth to

      strange ideas , and converted some of oar leading men into Chartists , and others into whippers-in for the Ministers . Mr . Hayes , certainly tbe ablest man in our city , was furious for a second repeal candidate , and accused the people of deserting thia great question ; he avowed himself a Chartist , and gave a plumper to Air . CaJIaahan , the repeal candidate . I fear repeal is' shook in the' beautiful city / and from the bottom of my soul I am sorry for it , as I am firmly convinced that nothing but a domestic Parliament will ever make ' Ireland as she ou ^ flt to be .

      Miraculous Escape . —On Thursday night , about seven o'clock , two children were observed playing in one of the recesses on London-bridge , when the eldest boy , abeut six years old , climbed oa the parapet , and leaning forward to see a steamer that waa passing under , the little fellow lost his balance and fell over . The greatest consternation prevailed amongst the persons who witnessed the accident , When , upou going to the spot , it was discovered that the boy was lying oa the sop of the cornice , which fortunately is very wide . The anxiety that prevailed was speedily relieved by a working man , named Green , residing in the New Kent-road , who instantly got over the parapet and rescued the ohild from bis perilouB situation . The boy , upon being put upon his feet , began to cry lustily , and ran off towards the Borough . A person who came up at the time stated he bad told the children to get down some time before .
