      abuses , howeTer , usually do lead to nseful revisions ; and in the present case the people seem disposed wisely , while deploring the abuse of their confidence which crippled the powers of their Organization , to enquire whether ihB Organization itself may not be capable of such revision as may , to some extant at least , preclude the recurrence of such abuses . Few things human are absolutely perfect in" their kind . It is not , therefore , to be wondered at , if in the execution of so difficnlt a task as that of devising an Organization of the whole people , which should nnite-and systematise their efforts for

      political redemption , and yet keep clear of aD the ingenioTia . meshes of the law , some little things should have been left capable of some improvement We have long been of opinion that the manner of choosing the Executive Committee was liable to objection . The Executive Committee , and more especially the Secretary and Treasnrer , should be men of business . They should be cool-headed , far-seeing , discriminating men ; able to form asober judgmeDt of the consequences likely toensuefrom any courseof conduct they might recommend to the people nnder given circumstaBces , They should not be

      bullnecked obstinates , who , having fixed their mindB upon a point , would rather sink the causB than fail to carry it . They should be men capable of forming a grave estimate of the grave dudes of their office , and the important interests committed to them and who would , therefore , weigh well , carefully , and rationally , every step they recommended to be taken . Above all , they Bhould not be men easily puffed np with a conceit of their own dignity and importance—fond of prating about " their own responsibility , " and calculating upon their power to * xcit 8 a- pubBe meeting by a few mouthing phrases ,

      as a means of covering , and escaping from ihe consequences , of whatever madness or inoompetency they may exhibit ; and , before all , they shonld be men morally just and politically honest . They should not "be- money-grabbers and living-seekers . Their object should be not to live by and out of th » cause , but to live in and for the cause . Such should be the character of the people's Executive . Speechmaking may or may not be superadded as an accomplishment ; tut whether able to make speeches or not they shonld be honest , clear-sighted , stfong-mindedjdiscrininiating business men . Spr 3

      chmaking is , at best , a mere secondary , and , in comparison of these qualities , a very trivial , recommend ation . Now , the mode of electing the Executive under the present Eysfcem , does not give a fair chance either to the candidates or the electors . The real points of merit in the respective candidates are necessarily knows nothing of by the far greater portion of those who vote ; and a man ' s chance for election depends much more upon the popularity he may have acquired by speech-making in various localities than upon hi 3 possession of those qualities which alone ought to be regarded as the test of

      fitness . We have seen this long ; and have therefore thonght Mr . Coomb ' s plan for the election of an Executive committee decidedly preferable , as to its general notion , to the present one . We do not think that Mr .- Coopkb , himself proposes the best mode of carrying out his own general idea , as we shall shew by and by . But there are other and aauch more serious objections to this plan of Mr . Cooper's ; objections which till they are removed must preclude all ihonghi of its being substituted for the present plan , or adopted as a tehoJe by the Chartist body .

      Next to the adoption by the people of an uniform plan , it shonld be their object to have a legal one ' The law-makers hare made this difficult ; but it is yet possible ; and that which may be done must be done for the prosperity of our cause . We hare often and again called attention to the provisions of the iniquitou 3 lavrs against political societies , designed to prevent the possibility of any national organization . We have often reminded the people that the faction by whom those laws were passed has now the power of enforcing them ; and , Bince their provisions may be complied with , and yet an effectire national organization had , it is essential that this point be well attended to . By the third and fourth articles of Mr . Coopkb's plan , it iB provided that : —

      " 3 . The general government of the Association shall ts Tested is an Annual Convention—to be assembled in London , is the month of April of each yrir , and to dose its dtiingB at the end of three weeks , or earlier , if convenient " i- lbs said i * "titulI Convention shall be composed o ? delegates from Chartist districts ; the delegates to be elected by the j : > ople in public meeting assembled ; the districts , and the nnmt ir of representatives from eadi , to 12 arranged by the first Annual Convention , and Te-arranged by succeeding Atmnal Conventions , as need may arise . "

      Aow , by this arrangement , it is clear that the Chartists of each district will act , in the election of their delegate , not individually , but collectively , and as a body , independent of , and separate from , each other district . The delegate for Leicester would be , to all intents and purposes , an officer appointed by Leicester , and representing and acting for , and on behalf of Leicester—separately and distinctly from any other district . He would be elected by the Leicester people , and answerable to them for his conduct . He would be , in fact , a delegate elected by , and acting for , that part . Dow , this is a desirable thing ; but like most other desirable things , it is precluded by law . By the 39 Geo . IIL c . 79 , it is among other things

      . enacted ;—" That every society composed of different divisions , or branches , or of different parts acting , in antf manner , separately or distinctly from each other ; or of which any part shall have any distinct President , Secretary , Treasurer , Delega-, or other officer elected or appointed by or for such part , or to act as an officer for snch part , shall be deemed snd taken to be an unlawful combination and confederacy " And the punishments enacted by this law for all who take any part in such unlawful combinations and confederacies" range from transportation as a maximum to various terms of imprisonment .

      Here , then , is a Etopper , at once , upon Mr . Cooper ' s plan of an annual Convention as a permanent governing body for a political society . Delegate meetings for public and general purposes , in which " . 7 . & * e concerned , and all may vote , whether Whigs , Tories , or Chartists , and the election of snch delegates by public and open meetings of the ' inhabitants of any place , duly convened , are perfectly legal ; but when those delegates assume to themselves the government of a political society ,- each of them representing and

      acting for a part of that society , they do an illegal act : they become parties to what thiB law terms ** an unlawful combination and confederacy , " and every man of them becomes iiable to transporta tion . So , again , the 8 th , 5 > h , 11 th , and 12 th articles of Sir . Coop ^ b ' s plan clearly suppose and imply a distinctness of action between the several localities , the Presidential Sessions , and the Annual Conventions , the operation of which would be to bring the ichole society within the sweeping provisions of this Act ; making every member liable to all its penalties .

      The 18 th , 19 th , and 21 st articles are again calculated to bring every member of the Association into direct collision with the law ; as each of these articles supposes a separate action of each of the localities , for itself , and distinct from any other locality . There are Tarious other matters in which we think the plan objectionable . We see no good end to be served by . ihe "Piesidential sittings , " that might not he equally served at a less cost by a

      standing unpaicl committee to assist the Secretary . We see no nepd of , or use fox , a " Vice-Secretary . " We cannot understand why the Secretary and President should be paid more than other members of the Convention . This seems to us to be only calculated to create a scrambling for those offices , and to beget the hazard of their falling rather to the lot of popularity , or pariy and personal inflnence , than to that of specific and necessary talent . We have little notion of these aristocratic distinctions among Chartists . They tend to no good . We think forty shill-

      ings a-week good pay ; when it has to come out of weaver ' s pence . These are minor matters 1 but they are yet worthy of attention in the outset . The mode of choosing the parties xwho are to form the Presidential sitting '—in reality the Executive Committee—as specified in the fifth article , seems ill calculated to attain Mr . Cooper's end , of securing business-like and efficient men . The objection to the present mode of electing the Executive is that the business habits of the candidates are of necessity strange to a majority of those who rote for them . The plan of an annual Convention is suggested for

      the remedy of this . It is thought that each locality will be able to judge of the merits of the one man whom it may send—and that when all these meet together the men of business , talent , and discriminating powers will shew themselves ; go as to afford the Convention an opportunity of selecting five men in whom all its members have confidence for the guidance and keeping of the society ' s affairs . But it seems to us that this wise object must be , to a great extent , frustrated , if the choosing of these five men be made the first business of the Convention , before any opportunity

      has been afforded of testing in the several discussions which may arise , the habits and powers of the members . Taey meet together , in the first instance , for the most part , strangers to each other ; and the chancesf for the election of this " Presidential " Executive would then be very little different from what they now are . The parties best know a and having most popularity or personal interest would be sure to be elected , whether possessed of the necessary specific talent or not . We think that the election of the " ^ Presidential" Executive should be rather the last business of the Conventional session

      than the first . All these , and some other matters , that might yet be pointed out , would require attention , if ths

      LEGAL DISABILITIES W £ BE FIBST REMOVED FBOM ths flak . But while the whole thing , as a whole thing , is impracticable from its contraversion of the law , it is useless to consider its details . We have thought much and seriously upon it , and see no reason to alter , now , the opinion we personally expressed to Mr . Coopbk , when that gentleman was in Leeds , in the middle of last summer . He then named to us this idea of a Conventional Executive . We told him that we thought the idea a good one , but feared whether it could be legally carried out . We think so still . As a general notion , this mode of electing the Executive we think much preferable to the present one ; but the more we think and study of it , the more satisfied we become that the law would not permit its practical operation .

      We think the present plan of organization susceptible of some improvement as to its minor details , and that with those improvements ; with a Secretary , worthy of the name , giving his whole time to the business of theaodety , and baling BenBe and honesty to do its business ; and with a standing , unpaid Committee of four Councillors , to assist him in the concoction of public documents , it would still be the best plan which nnder present circumstances can be adopted for giving efficiency to popular will .

      FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE STORM . Leith Roads , SoNi > A . t . —For the last forty-eight hours it has blown a terrific storm from the N . W ., with severe frost and heavy fall of snow . Shortly after it commenced on ; Friday morning , an event of a most deplorable character teak place in the Frith of Forth , whereby Several lives were lost . A sloop of about fifty tons , ! called the Janet of Montrose , in making a passsgg through the Forth , was overtaken by the storm , ; which almost immediately shivered her sails into numberless pieces , and afterwards drove , her on a rook called Mickery-stone , where she . in the course of a tew hours , went to

      pieces , and every sonl on board met with a watery grave . Some of the unfortunate seamen were married men , and have left large families to deplore their loss . The sloop was laden with a valuable cargo of wheat , which , with the vessel , was insured . Sue had left Montrose in the early part of last week , and was bound to Glasgow , to deliver hor cargo . Considerable portions of the wreck have been washed on shore , and amongst it was a spar with the body of a man l ?< med to it . He was a seaman , apparently about thirty years of age . At Bowcastle on Friday morning , before daybreak , a ship named the Elizabeth Alefcta , Was wrecked on the coast of Cruckington Havon , about six miles

      from this town , and the whole of her orew , amounting , it is supposed , to twelve persons , perished . Upon the discovery beiag made , a number of boats hastened off to their assistance , but upon arriving alongside of the vessel she was found to be a complete wreck , for the greater part of her hull had broken up and was scattered along the beaoh . Up to the period of this report being sent off only three bodies had been discovered . ISfear the same place two other vessels were lost in the course of the storm , one a schooner , belonging to Southampton , from Swansea , laden with copper , on shore near Hardand Point ; and the Sarah , of . Teignmouth , whish foundered off Tintegile Head . Tflose who manned the latter were saved , but of the aohooaer , &U ( with the exception of one ) perished .

      The late Storm at Brighton . —Intelligence has reached the * town of the safety of the four trawl or " hog" boats which were missing since the storm . It appears from the statements of the crew , that after great suffering their little barques got into places of safety ; three . of them ran ashore at Hastings , and the fourth drifted to Ramsgate Harbour , which the crew succeeded in reaching in almost an exhausted state . Messrs . Cbxeseman's brig , the George , whioh , was off the town in the storm , also made Ramsgate Harbour , greatly damaged . The crew went down on their knees to the Captain to beg of him to run ashore on the Sussex coast ; but he would not listen to their entreaties , although the vessel had sprung a leak , fearing that by so doing their lives would be sacrificed . Fortunately they succeeded iu safely entering the Harbour .

      HTJDDERSFIELD —On Saturday morning last , Mr . Thomas Rushworth , landlord at the Navigation Tavern , Shore-foot , put an end to his exietance by throwing himself head P-st into a large tub of water on his own premises . A Jury has 6 at over the body and returned a verdict of " temporary insanity . " The body was interredoa Wednesday . A great number attended . About Two Miles south of Huddersfield a number of young men or youths in the employ of several millowners , professedly religious , and pillars of their respective establishments , have preferred of late years literary pursuits to beer home conversation , and for the prosecution of whioh , have contribute

      to the extant of their means , money to purchase books . They regularly me ? , read , conversed and improved eaca other in the best mainer they could , and have so far succeeded as to astonish not only their parents bat all who knew them The surprise spread rapidly amongst the more influential , amougst whom were their respective employers , who , instead of being proud of having such men in their employ , and supplying them with the means of extending their pursuits , not only condemned tbeir intellectual acquirements , but issued a declaration to their parents to the effect that if they allowed their sons so to improve themselves , they would not only discharge the youths but them also . —Correspondent .

      Six Men Drowndd . —It is our melancholy duty this day to record the following distressing and fatal circumstances : —It appears that the fishermen of WhitehillB , a village in the neighbourhood of Banff , were at sea on the morning of Wednesday , when , about half past seven o ' clock , a tremendous hurricane came on , by which two of the boats containing eight men , were upset . Only two of the crew were saved by clinging to the boat till the arrival of another boat . Those who met a watery grave are W . Watson , James ' Watson , and John Watson , brothers ; George Ritchie , George Watson , sen ., and George Watson , jun ., all married men , and who have left wives and families to lament their untimely fate . The two saved were m uch exhausted when brought to shore , but are now in the way of recoaery ; their names ar < jDarid Watson and James Watson , all connected with each other by marriage .

      Inquest on a Person Unknown . —An inquest was held on Mondsy lasf , at Healey , before T . Ferrand , Dearden , E ? q-, on the body of a man unknown , who , early on Saturday morning last , was found about a mile from Rochdale towards Burnley , frozen to death . The following description of the deceased may enable some of his friends to identify him : —The deceased appeared to be about forty years of age , of a Jewish cast of countenance , respectably dressed , five feet four inches in height , black hair , beginning to turn grey , and black curly

      whiskers ; he was dressed in a dark olive-coloured cloth coat , black satin waistcoat and stick , and black trousers , all very good ; cotton shirt with plaited linen front , a new flannel vest , cotton drawers , cotton socks , Wellington boots , much worn and patched ; a beaver hat , purchased in Market-strcst , Manchester , 6 | , of a very small size , and rather old . He had apparently walked a great distance ; and though not emaciated , it was the opinion of a medical man who saw him , that he had taken no nourishment for a long time previous to his death . He had in his pocket a silk handkerchief and twopence in

      copper . France . —The Paris Journals of Sunday and Monday teem with more alarming interest , as regards the stability of the present pacific relations between France and England , than did any of their immediate predecessors . The Committee on the Address , whioh had already held their third sitting , and discussed seriatim every paragraph of the speech from the Throne , had , it is said on all sides , agreed to introduce an amendment , relative to that most portentous of all questions—the right of search . It is stated with equal confidence ( the republican National chiming in with the organs of the Court and the Cabinet ) that the amendment will ooc have the effect of overturning the present Ministry . Thus ,

      the compliments bo prodigalIy , laviBhed on tbe moderation of the Soult-Guizot Cabinet by our English contemporaries of all shades of opinions , are flung back in their faces with contempt ; and it is now clear that all parties in France join in one loud chorus of hostility to England . Even the courtly Debais , hitherto the loudest , and apparently the sincerest , of the veiy few French journals which had up to this time the courage to insist on the inconveniences of a rupture with this country , has now taken an indirect method of fanning the anti-English feeling , showing upon what a sandy foundation our oligarchical rulers have built their hopes of maintaining , through the agency of Guizot and Co ., the outward forms , if not the cordiality of peace ,

      in the present awkward state of all our great national interests . With extraordinary glee does the mouthpiece of the French Ministry dwell on that very item of the French revenue , whioh our masters , in presenting their yearly budgets , were always , until very lately , in the habit of representing as the only sure test of national prosperity or depression—we mean , of course , the Excise : — " The improvement in the revenue , particularly in the Excise , is a certain indication of public wealth , as . the increase of consumption necessarily implies an increase in labour and in production . " " France" continues the Debais , "has suffered a series oj political changes , traversed a Berious commercial crisis , recently engaged

      immense sums of money in works necessary , perhaps , though unproductive ; but strong in her elements of national wealth , she is every day actively repairing , without additional taxes , but solely by the natural course of affairs , the encroachment made on her fortune by the faults , the errors , or the exigencies of political parties . This . is because her strength is neither factitious nor extraneous . It is because her power reposes upon an admirable soil , which , with the help of peace , will be rendered more fertile by the public works voted last session . The financial prosperity of our country ib a remarkable fact when compared with that of other conntries . France had to apprehend two formidable obstacles—anarchy at home , and war abroad . The

      wisdom of the King ' s Government has preserved us from the first of those calamities , and the Go * vernments of Europe will preserve France and themselves from the other / ' —In the foregoing loud note of exultation over the really prosperous state of a country , whioh the organs of our privileged classes have one and all joined in describing as all but sinking under the weight of her burdens ^—how many sly hits are given to the land , which , in the language of prostituted orators and writers , was so long , so pompously , and so mendaciously termed 11 The envy and admiration of surrounding nations ; whose merchants were princes ^ and whose nobles had all the state and more than the pride of kings .

      MRS . ELLIS . The following address was drawn up and agreed fa at a delegate moting held at Wednesbury , at which there were delegates from Wednesbury , Kidderminster , Walsall , and Bilstou . ! The poor woman ' s case is an urgent one , and we trust there will bj a noble response to the call thus made upon the Chartist public : —

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . We the Chartists of Soufch Staffordshire being impressed with the claims which the wife of the martyred Ellis has upon public commissetation , wou'd . urge upon you the necessity of taking immediate step ? to pb *< e her , along with her family , in comfortable circumstances , and lessen , as far as sympathy can lessen , the sorrow she must endure on account of her husband ' s expatriation from his native country . i You will , many of you , be aware , that Mrs . Ellis has been left the sole protectress of four children , and in a very indifferent situation ; and there is in many a disposition to persecute a helpless family for the opinions andgcourse of the parent . To whom then can the children of Ellis and his partner look for succour but to those men in whose cau&e he

      suffered , and whose principles he so long and faithfully advocated and defended against the common oppressors of our ill-fated country ? 1 The working men of England are aware that the principles of our Charter will gather strength just in proportion a * they rally round those men who advocate them ; and shall it be said , that after toiling to emancipate his country , and b ' ravin" want , danger , and imprisonment , with no object before his mind ' s eye but the emancipation of his race aud kinsmen from class-laws , —shall it ever be said that ho was forgotten , and his offspring neglected , by a nation unworthy of him ! rather let onr movement itself be sunk deeper than human p lummet ever sounded , before we can abandon Ellis to his fate , daring , as he did , to defend the rights of universal man when Chartism itself was struggling for an ¦

      existeuce . Perhaps it may be necessary to state , that Mrs-Ellis passed through Wednesbury and staid a few days , after bidding adieu to her husband in London , and she expressed herself a 3 having no prospect before her but an union workhouse , unless assisted by the country . To prevent this , lcij every association throw up its quota , and we | shall then assuredly save her from the tender mercies of the wicked , which the Bible sayst are cruel . Such is the difficulty in which she and her family are at present , that necessity has forced her to dispose of all her furniture ; she' is literally without a home , and without the means of getting a livelihood : and what must have been hor

      feelings , when , instead of sympathy oa \ her return home , she and her helpless children were insulted by those heartless enemies of liberty in the Potteries . Surely no working man will be indifferent to such a case , but will do all he can , and prompt ' others to do the same , to meet an example of suppressing necessity . What you do , let it be done quickly . Let subscriptions be sent direct to Messrs . Cleave , of London ; Heywood , of Manchester ; Hobson , Star-OfSce , Leeds ; or to Benjamin Dauks , Union-street , WedneBbury , Staffordshire , who iB appointed General Treasurer , by the Committee , on account of Mrs . Ellis ' s wish to reside in that place , and also from the interest the Chartists there are taking in her welfare . \ Signed by the Delegates .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —In the report of the meeting of the Conference , published in the Star of the 7 th , I find only the onebr'f of a resolution , moved by Mr . Hobson end seconded by Mr . Rotorts , and as tbe other [ half 3 s of very great impor ' -jucM to many of onr suffering brethren , I trust you witt permit me to lay it before your numerous readers . ! The published half is ri follows : — " TnatjthlB Conference rinnot « ep ? -a > without expressing i < "i despest and most sin ' ~ . re sympathy with tbe parsons who are now seffetim , or who may have suffered , from espousing the cause of the people , and advocating their right to a just and equal representative Government , snd its consideration of their pre-eminent claim to the

      sympathy , assistance , and support of the people , whom they b < we so we ) i and so faithfully oarved ; ' to which I moved fie following addition , ai instructed by 'he men of Campsie , and which has not bsev . printed , either in the reports or minute : — "We do , therefore , recommend to the people , that a general subscription be got np throughout the whole country for the boneflt of all persons , and their fam'Mes , now suffering imprisonment in the dungeons and gaols of England , or transport d beyond the f ~ as for political offenc ja / iaad that a general trer -r-er be appoint xl , to whom all monies so collected ebaU be tranamittod by the lo | cM treasurers , and who shall publish , is the Northern '* Star , an account of all sums received , and the manner 3 a which it is expended , " j

      The mover and seconder having expressed their m ' AJingness that th- ' i should atind part of the resolution , it w ; y . not & - a whole and carried unanimously , after which Illr . Cleave , of London , was appointed general treasurer . j It will here be seen that circumstanced ns we are at f *"' s time , there rymot 13 too much publicity j ? iven to the above . Every mas and woman in GreatiBritain , who wishes well to the great cause , who glories in the name of Chartist , and who haa read the monster indictment in your paj : r of last Saturday , will surely coma to the relief of thers poor sufferers , cseing they have it in their power to do so without any sacrifice on their part [

      Mr . M'Intyre , secretary to the Chartists of the Vale of Leven , lays down a simple and effective plan , which if followed up , canuot fuU to secure the object aimed at in the resolution of the Conference . He says , let tbe r jting commits 5 , councillors , or collectors , of tbe variocs i 'sooiations pic ! localities , meet immediately , and portion out f"iei < r town , or districts , giving to each collector a tafr share of the work . Let each man then commence a cinvasa of all the people in ( his district , Goartists and non-Chartists , asking one half-penny from each ; and supposing that only tbe one-th ' -d of the people paid—ay even lesa—supposing that only the one-balf of thozi who signed tbe National

      Petition gave this small sum , we would have a rand calculated to gladden the heart of the care-worn , dungeoned patriot , by giving him to know that his wife and little ones would not per '^ h of hunger while iho lingered in bill loathsome celL This half-penny would raiie a barrier more formidable than ten thousand bayonets to the onward progress of a cruel and : persecuting adminhtratlor But an objection may ba raised here , that miny would not pay even this small sum . Well , granted that only 1 , 500 , 000 responded J to the call , and I am of opinion that it is not going too far in calculating on that numtar , we would then have above ^ 3 000 . !

      , It it my humble opinion , Sir , that Mr . M'Intyre ' s plan is quite workable , and I would therefore I'tge the Chartiatsto net about it in every corner of tbe latil ; if they act with spirit and energy in this matter , and raise the above sum , there will soon be an end to prosecution for opinion . ' I remain , Sir , Your sincere friend , As you are the friend of my Order , Con Murray . I [ In the report referred to , the latter half of tbe resolution was by mistake omitted ; Mr . Murray ; would see , bowever , ttnt in the " Micutes of Corferehcs '' it was inserted in full . —Ed . N . S . ] '

      cnargea Dreadful Case of Chiid Murder . —Mr . Carter , tho coroner for Surrey , on Monday held an mquest at the Prince William Henry , Bermondseystreet , on the body of a very fine female child , which was found dead under the following dreadful circumstances : —Ann Stagg , of No . 2 , Shepherd ' s-sardena , Spa-road , Bermoadsey , stated that on Tuesday night , about eight o ' clock , she had occasion to go to a water closet , from which the lock had been forced , and being in a court , is accessible to any one passing by . She observed a bundle on the seat , which caused her some alarm , and she went for the assistance of a neighbour , of the name of Smith , who opened it , and found it to contain the body of a very fine female child . It was quite dead , and

      covered with a piece of white calico . The police were called in , and it was conveyed to Mr . Tilley's , of Jamaica-row , surgeon to the force , who was subsequently directed by the Coroner to make a post mortem examination of the body , which he did , and the result of it is as follows . The body was generally healthy ; the lungs bad been inflated , and he had no doubt it had been born alive . The umbilical cord was lacerated , and great hemorrhage had taken place . This , and exposure to the cold , were the cause of death . The Coroner suggested an open verdiot should be returned ; but the jury said it was clearly a case of murder , which was of a nature now too frequent . A verdict of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown , '' was then " returned . Inspector Hornsby said be bad made every inquiry , and would continue the investigation ; hitherto it had been without effect .
