The late act has mada no alteration with respect to petitions . They remain , as hitherto , exempt from payment , if the cover i « left open at the two ends , and marked on the outside , " Petition to Parliament .

Legalised Physical Fokce— New Muskets and BATo . vETs .-Jt id probable that a new bayonet will be introduced into the army . It appears " a formidable weapon , about two and a half feet in length , and one and a half inch broad , aud of a proportfouate thickness . One edge is formed to cut as a sword , and the back is serrated like a b&w . The serrated part would make an u ? ly wound difficult to be healed , bnt it is intended as an assistant to cut palisades , and the ^ reat length given to the bayonet is intended as a protection against the attacks of the cavalry . The court of Directors have , we understand , resolved on the introduction of percussion locks in . tbe fire arms of the Indian army . 10 , 000 mu .-kets on this principle were shipped for Calcutta in August last , and 100 , 000 in all had been ordered for the Bengal armv alone .
The Disadvantage of beisg a Gentleman —A very fashionably dressed paidole-aged , but slimly formed person , who gave his name Charles Kendall , was placed at the bar at Maryborough street policeofice , on Saturday last , charged with being drunk aud disorderly . Tne offence having been proved , the magistrate asked the prisoner in what station 0 ; life he was . He replied a gentleman . Mr . Rawiinsoa—Oh , indeed , a gentleman , then I must ir . fiict the highest penalty of 403 . for this offence . Defendant—That is extremely inconvenient to me . 1 hope
yon will alteryonr decision . Mr . Rawliuson—Indeed I shall not ; if yon are , as you ear , a gentleman , you musi pay scot for it . Defendant—Tne truth is , I have no money about me . Mr . Rawlinson—1 cannot alter my decision . ¦ I must treat you the same &s a poor man . Why should I make the distinction ? Defendant—Because I am without money . Mr . Rawlinson—No gentleman is ever without money . You must pay the fine , or be locked up . The defendant , begsinjj for a further remonstrace to his worship , was then consigned to the lock-up cell .
A IU'hpcs i . v a Tom and Jerry Shop . —A longlegced lantern-jawed beer-shop keeper , named Smith , summoned a jolly laugh-and-grow-fat little cobbler , at the Borough Court of Requests , for the sum of 5 s ., the amount of a score , and half-a crown more for sundry glasses , which the latteT , it was said , had broken , while under the influence of heavy wet . " I keeps the Velington , my lord , '' said the long-shaaked swipe merchant , " and this here wagabons owes me seten an' a tanner for licker and brok < ajjla .-se ? , aiid he von ' t pay a farden , so I ' ve pulled him up afore yer vori-hip 3 jist to git satisfaction out of the warmint . ' Commissioner— " I don ' t know how iris , but you beer- ^ -liop keepers are always engaged in some disturbance or other ;
beershops appear to be the very hot-beds of brawling . Pray , how dia all these glasses get broken ? " Piaint : ff— " He got fithting with a couple of dnsimen and capsized ' em . When a cobbler gits lushy , my lord , he ' s werry quarrelsome . '' Commissioner— " I suppose the dustmen helpsd to break the glasses /" Plaintiff—' No ; he did it all himself , my lord ; t ' others did . no nvschief votsumever . " Commissioner ( addressing the defendant)— "Weil , what have you goJ to say against paying this 7 s . Gd . !'" Defendant— " Piease yer vership , aTter finishing vurk at night , I used to valk into the Wiington to heajoy a pipe and a pint , and cosfrerse a Jittle about poly ticks an' sjcb like . ' Commissiouer— " Do vou admit ths debt ! "' Defendant— " I owes the five
bob , yer vership , but as for the glasses I knows nufiin about ' em , s'help me bob ; the dustmen vos the coveys , jer vsr .-hip . Here Satnmy , old feller , step forrard . and -conwince his vership . " " Sammy , " ajot companion of the defendant , was accordingly introdcped to the notice of the court . CozumiMioner" What do you know about the affair 1 " Sammy' ¦ Vy , my lurd , Bob never broke , the glasses at all I'll lake my bible haffadavit . " Tae Commissioners , after hearing the defendant ' s witness , adjudged him to pav the os . only .
^ The Falls op thb Niagara . —Gullibility . — Some of the pipers thi 3 morning contain what is called an extra from the " office of the Advertiser , Buffalo , Feb . 14 , four o ' clock , " giving an account of the destruction of the Falls of Niagara . A slight glance ai it will convince any one that it is a hoax , and by no means a good one , got up by some witling who probably never saw the falls . We will poin ; out a few of the indicia leading to thi 3 conclusion . 1 . Tne article was not written , although purporting to have been , by the editor of the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser . We know his style too well . He neter deals in such inflated , windy language as the account presents . 2 . The extra purports to be dated at Bnffalo on Sunday evening at four o ' clock , and it was received in this city last evening . This could not be doue . 3 . " Biddle Tower and the adjoining ground work had
disappeared . " Mr . Biddle never buiJ : a tower at the Fall 3 . Some years ago he caused te be built a staircase on Goat Island , leading do-vn to tbe Falls , which goes by his name . 4 . " The water made a Bubterranecns passage , and burst through the wall of Goat Island . " Absurd . 5 . " The hotel is gone . It is believed no lives have been lost . " The last clause is correct ; and there can have been no lives lost , because there was no hotel to be carried away . The nearest hotel is the Clifton House , far below the falls . P . 5 . —Sinie the above was in type the northern mail , only due this afternoon , has arrived , aad brought us the Buffalo Commercial -Advertiser of Saturday evening , ihe latest which could be expected . The Albany papers of yesterday are silent on the subject . The hoax was probably got up in thi 3 city . —Aw York Commercial Advertiser .
Cbcextt i * a Umojt Wobkhocse . — Thoma 3 Qaauby , a master shoemaker in the Limehouse Poorhouse , one . of the workhouses or bastiles of the St * pney Union , was brought before Mr . Ballantine , at the Thames office , on Saturday , charged with committing a most brutal and unprovoked assank on Charles Watts , a boy aged thirteen years . The boy , who appeared in bad health , was stripped , and his shoulders and arms presented a mass of black bruises . It appeared from his statement , that at tbe earnest desire of a sick child in the house , who retained an affection for him , he was allowed to nurse and attend the invalid , and while performing some kind offices for his charge , be was af-ked by tbe nurse of the sick-ward what he was doing ? He
replied , somewhat perily , that he was attending to his business .- This answer displeased the nurse , and she lodged a complaint to the prisoner , who chastised the boy by inflicting some blows on his haad . The boy went away muttering , and he was immediately called back by the prisoner , who took up a strap and gave him a dreadful beating across the shoulders and inflicted the bruises visible on his person . The lad came to the office for a warrant on Friday afternoon , and . then exhibited hia back andshou'ders to the ushers , and it was apparen : that he had been punished in a most savage manner . The warrant was granted , and yesterday morning Douglas , a police constable , attached to the Court , went to the Union-house to execute it , when he ascertained that
the poor boy was in confinement , and had been locked up by the prisoner ' s order . Douglas caused kim to he set at liberty , and was an eye-witness of tbe prisoner ' s bmtality , for he struck several boys while he was present . Dauglas said the master of the house had requested him ta state that no corporeal punishment was perzni ^ d by the Guardians , on any pretence whatever , and that the prironer would not be permitted to strike any of tbe boyB with ft strap . A heavy shoemaker ' s strap , formed of stout leather , with which the punishment was inflicted , was produced . Iteutfaa added there was no doubt tbe prisoner would be discharged for committing such % wanton outrage on the boy . The prisoner , in defence , said » woman , the nuree of tbe sick ward , complained ibat- the boy was saucy , and
be gare him two or three ** § ip » " on the hand with a strap , which he did not seem to mind , and began to mutter something , and he then , in the heat of passion , took-up the strap produced , » nd flogged him with it . He . « uM eonfesi he had laid on toobearily ; he did not s » u to be b « nndnly « evere , aad -was verr « orry for it . Mr . Ballantyoa Mid tha kowhaa no ; received th * t wholesome corre ^ aon wkieh , m the event of hia having misconducted himself » father would inflict on his own child , buA he had been lUused in % wanton and savage manner , -which eould not be tolerated . The prisoner was an ill-tempered intemperate man to nse the bo * bo cruelly , and he sentenced him to pay » fine of forty shilUneai and costs , and ordered that tbe conviction would be reported to the Board of G-oardians , and the boy looked after .

The Northern Star Saturday, March 20, 1841.
THE NORTHERN STAR SATURDAY , MARCH 20 , 1841 .
OUR PROSPECTS . So we head this article , borrowing the title from our talented and . generally well-received contemporary the Dublin World , of Feb . 13 . h , 1841 , iu which appeared a leader , under the above designation , containing some sentiments which require a feyr remarks from us . We have , at all times , stated it as our deliberate conviction , that the World was by far the best of the Irish press : and
even in this article we have evidence that our estimation of jt has not been without reason ; though we have also evidence ot the condition of unhappy Ireland , in which even a honest patriot , writing for his country , finds it hazxrdous to let loose the full tide of principle , and is fain to embank himself behind such ramparts of expediency a 3 may be dictated by the great master tradesman , who makes merchandize out of misery , and lives and thrives upon corruption , by the constant turning of it over and altering of its same .
In his pleasing and joyous anticipations for the future , and to realise which , we may observe by the way , requires something much more efficient tban merely talking or writing about them , the Editor has gone Bomewhat out of his way to abuse the Northern Star , and to advocate that mischievous and nondescript thing , H-o-u-s-e-hold Suffrage ; and all this , too , under the fairest and most uumistakeable professions of sincere attachment to the principles and objects of the People ' s Charter .
No doubt all this may be perfectly reconcileable to the enlightened vision of our contemporary , with strict consistency , and an unflbohing adherence to principle ; but , to our ordinary comprehension , it looks marvellously like inconsistency and "blarney . " Our friend , however , shall speak for himself , as we would not , for the world , misrepresent " The World " on such a subject . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , and we would be glad to find any good authority which could dispute it , are recognized by every constitutional writer . Tbe individual who is governed by laws of which he txercisbs no influence in the making can be viewed
in no other light than a slave . He may be fed , clothed , and permitted to walk about , but be is as much the creature of the tyrant who rules over him as hia horse or < iog . We , therefore , are the advocates of Universal Suffrage , because we feel that it is based upon truth and justice , and moreover , that it has been highly beneficial to those countries which have made it the bulwark of popular privilege * . Far be it , bowaver , from us not to receive with delight such an instalment as Household Suffrage , not partially as suffered to exist in boroughmongering days when it was productive of bribery and corruption , but upon an extensive scale , which would afford both friends and foes a
foretaste of what might be expected from the people if a more universal eufranchii > enient took place . The Sorthern Star blusters away at a sad rate against Household Suffrage , and has a comfortable way of its own of condemning every person who recommends it , without ever devising a plan , at least that we can comprehend , for the procuring of its Universal Suffrage scheme . Storming towns at night ; getting shot , transporttd , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors ; and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working-men , is not the way to carry the charter . Indeed , could Universal Suffrage have been carried when the Convention sat in Bolt-court , which would have transferred the members of that august body to the House
of Commons , we rather think that tbe Sorthern Star , in its present mind , would be inclined to regard the boon aa a very equivocal blessing-. " Let our readers mark every part of this quotation well . " The principles of Chartism , in our opinion , are recognised by every constitutional writer . " Very well ! Then we are not anarchists , revolutionists , or » ny other iste , that may cause alarm to any human heart . We are only contending for what every constitutional writer declares to be our rights . But we have not merely constitutional lawin our fawe have that also which is of infinitely more importance , —the law of natural right and equity . Thus proceeds our friend across the water : — " 'fho individual
who is governed by laws of which he exercises no influence in the making , can be viewed in no other light than as a slave . " ~ Soyr we do not think any argument can be more Bound than this , or demonstrate , in fewer words , the abstract aud undeniable justice of the principles for which we are contending . If for an individual to have no voice ia the enactment of those laws by which bis life and property are protected , conptitute him a slave , then it appears to us to be as clear as day , that in order to remove the slave mark it is absolutely necessary to give to all the franchise , and thus enable them to exercise their proper influence in the making of the
laws . This , we should have thought , must be the conclusion to which all must have come , who were at all capable of drawing conclusions from admitted premises . But , alas , for our weak judgment , the World is sgainBt us . " It , " says our friend , meaning Universal Suffrage , " is based upon truth and justice ; and , moreover , has been highly beneficial n those countries which have made it the bulwark of popular privileges . " This , we soppose , must be taken as an Hibernian prophecy ; for , up to this hour , no such country has existed in the memory of recorded history . To tbe next words we bog especial attention . " far beit , however , from us , not to receive
with delight Buch an instalment as Household Suffrage , npon an extensive Bcale , which would afford both friends and foes ft foretaste of what might be expected from the people , if a more universal enfranchisement took place . " It would be impossible , we think , for any man in the world to cram into the same space & greater quantity of false reaioming and blundering logic , then ia exhibited by the forty-five words we have juit quoted . First come * the fallacy that Honsehold Suffrage i « to be eomidered as an instalment . Tbii humbug won't do now it gained the Reform Bill ; but eight yeaw of Reform misgovernment have taught na % leeson , which , the World may rely upon it , the people will not forget .
We were told , then , by the patriots of tbe day , that the Reform Bill was an instalment ; and we , good souls took it , because Ghet , Brougham , and Co ., assured us , upon their "h » nour , " that it was all they , by peaceable means , were able

to get , ihtn , but that , hating got a part , it would lead to the securing of the whole . Now , this vras fair spoken , and the people confided . We are not disposed to blame them for their confidence , but we do tell them not to be caught in another trap ; and one , too , that is not baited half so plausibly as the last on * . We have got , as yet , no offer of Household Suffrage from the middle classes , though it is plain that , were they so disposed , they could give u 8 that , or any other measure , to-morrow .
But , suppose we had the offer , would they offer it as an instalment ! The World knows , as well as we do , that if conceded at all , it would not be even offered as aright , but as a boon , for which every one of the "Establishment" would tell us we ought to be most humbly thankful . But this said doctrine of instalments is itself based upon a false and misohievous view of the subject . At the utmost , it only considers the political and sooial rights of the masses as a debt due to them from the privUeged orders . Now , we contend that the deprivation of those rights was a bold and shameless robbery , perpetrated according to "The good old plan
, When he shall tak « who hatu the power , And he shall keep who can ;' And , we ask , who ever heard of stolen property being repaid by instalments ! The only favour the robber can expect , even from mercy and ferbearance itself * is to be allowed to go away scathless upon the restoration of his plunder to the rightful owner . But we offer more than this ; we offer a full participation in all the good we seek to obtain , evou to those who have reviled and maltreated us ; and yet , so much are gome of our friends of " this world , " attracted by the fine appearance and plausible manners of tho rascals who have reduced us almost to
ruin , that they wish to make them the judges in their own cause , and talk of receiving what of our rights they please to offer us as an iiurtalment ; and this , too , before their middle class pets havo condescended even to intimate an intention -of offering anything at all ! Then , again , the World shrinks with horror at the idea of refusing such an instalment as Household Suffrage . We should shrink with loathing and abhorrence from any such rascally scheme as Household Suffrage involves . We claim the right of the Suffrage for man , because ho is man , and not because he lives in a house of a certain value . If the value of the house , or the property , is the test of fitness 1 , then , to be consistent , if £ 10 qualifies for a
vote , £ 11 should qualify for a vote and one-tenth ; that is , every ten £ 11 houses should have eleven votes , inasmuch as they have got an extra qualification among them . And so for all houses of greater vahie—Ihe £ 20 man having a double vote . To us , however , it appears that the houseless wanderer has quite as good , or even a belter , title to a vote , than the most opulent householder ; because it is plain that some morbid arrangement of society , ( except in case 3 of personal criminality , ) has deprived him of the shelter to which , by virtuo of his being a man , be had an undoubtable claim ; and , consequently , he has a right to the elective franchise , to enable him , by his representative , to change an order of things so unnatural and destructive .
But tbe crowning absurdity of this strange sentence is , that this instalment is a tale put forth as a feeler , as to how the people might be expected to act if they should recover the whole of their just rights . This is just like saying to a thief , when the hue and cry is out against him , " get away , and send the better portion of the stolen money back , to boo if it will bo employed in feeing an attorney to drag you to the gallows . " Suppose this boasted "instalment" offered and accepted , what
might be " reasonably expected" to be the conduct of all those who had no choice in it , but who were told , * ' wait patiently till we see how the measure works , and if it works well , you will have no cause to grumble ; and if it doo 3 not , you can then demand further concessions . " Yes , and have all tho additional influence of tho newly enfranchised to cmtend against ! 1 Thank you , good World , for this sage piece of advice ; but it won ' t do . We listened to such logic as this in 1831 , and we are now reaping the fruits of our folly .
Believe us , those fruits are too bitter to tempt us to sow another time , with the certain prospect of » similar and equally inefficient crop . Our right good friend goes on to rate the Northern Star for what he calls our " sad rate of blustering away against Household Suffrage , " and says that we never propose a plan that he can comprehend for the attainment of our Universal Suffrage scheme ! We beg to toll him that Universal Suffrage is no scheme of ours ; it emanated long before before we came , either naturally or politically , into existence , and it would survive and nourish if wo Bhould
become defunct to-morrow ; being based upon the rock of universal truth and justice . But , heaven help us ! if we are to be held accountable for the dullness of comprehension of our worthy contemporary . We do our best to be plain aud intelligent , but we never pretended to supply brain 3 as well as newspapers . We agree with the World , that " storming towns at night ; getting shot , transported , and incarcerated ; swarming upon moors , and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working men , is not the way to carry 4 he Charter ; " bat , we ask , when did we ever say they were ; or when did
we advise " storming townB at night , or any other plan of physical or forcible outbreak ! We always saw and proclaimed the madness and folly of tuch things ; but we did not , therefore , feel justified in deserting those who had allowed their simple honesty to be overreached by spies and traitors ; and wedid , therefore , call , andthe tyranny of the Government , and of middle-class magistrates , Juries , and money-mongers , has compelled ua to do so much more frequently than we would have desired , upon tbe working men to collect their pence together , to oppose those who , from their hard earnings , were constantly extracting pounds .
To the remark about the Convention we have only one observation to make . We should , indeed , deem any suffrage not only a very equivocal ble 9 sitfg , but a positive curse , which should transfer either the members of the Convention , or any other parties , to the benches of the House of Commons , unless chosen by a majority of tho unbiassed votes of the people . But we have not yet done . Let our readers read and mark the following tit-bit of blarney and
botheration : — " The Chartists would not hiss down Mr . OConnell , or offer him personal indignity , because on some occasions he spoke rather severely of them , neither will they , we are sure , distrust Joseph Hume , the unplaced , uopensioned champion of the working clarses—iade « d , of the injured of every class and « lime—because , is doing so , they are aware that they would not be serving Mr . Feargvu O'Connor , while they would be laying themselves open to the charges which are { inferred against them by their enemies of being brutal and onthinking . "
The Chartists would not hiss Mr . O'Cociheul at the Leeds meeting ; Mr . O'Comnell was so well convinced of this thai he took eepecril care not to furnish them with the opportunity . He was not there ; for be dare not meet the honest " hearts and blistered hands of the working men of X ' orkshire . He knew that the blood-money for whir ; h he sold the children of Manchester , and the slanders which his foul tongue had uttered against the women of England , would neither be forgiven nor forgotten , and , like a bullying eoward , & dnngV ill cock as ho is , he enetked into a snug seat at the 7 e . € d . dinner , » t which he was not likely to mee t with any of those , at the very thoughts of whom his heart trembled and quaked with fear .
So much for < tbe Chartists not hissing Pan Let us now have a word ot tw * about 11 brown-bread Joseph . " " Neither will they , ( the Chartists , ) weure sure , distrust Jcsbph Hume , the unplaced aopensioned champion of th « working

classes . " We admit thai Joet is unplaced , and unpensioned , bnt we should like to know whether either place or pension was ever placed within his reach , or offered to his acceptance . We think little of that virtue which stands , having never been enforced by temptation to a fall . His championship of the working classes is , to our minds , of a very questionable character . He thought each a luxury as white bread quite unnecessary for the hand-loom weavers ; he has been aa out-and-out supporter , —champion , if the World likes it better , —of the the Davil-king bastile law ; and we have now in our office a well and respectfully written petition , from a Scotch working man , in favour of the Charter , which was Bent to him for presentation , and which he refused to present , because it was the petition of an individual .
Mr . Feargus O'Connok does not want his friends , the Chartists , to serve him ; he has laboured for them in a manner which has enshrined him in their hearts , and we know that the only return he looks for is their steady adherence to principle , and their ceaseless perseverance , till the glorious cause for which he and hundreds are suffering , be achieved and perfected . " It is a nice point , " says the World , " how far advisable it might be for them to abandon the advancement of their own cause fora season to procure privileges for others . " We believe so ; yea , a point so nice that the World will never be able to Bettle it between this and its doomsday ; though there is not a
poor operative Chartist in all England or Scotland who would not settle it in three seconds . " If an administration make Household Suffrage a Cabinet question , there would be no alternative left for all classes of Reformers , but to support the measure in the same way as the Bill of Earl Grey was sustained by the country . " Not so fast . We are wide awake now ; we have seen the result of Earl Grey ' s Bill , in accumulated misery and wretchedness , and we shall not allow that farce to be aoted over again . We promise the World that while we live , Housohold Suffrage Bball never pasa into a law because of the support ministered to it , by " all classes of Reformers . "
So much for the World ' s principle . Now turn we to the pot and kettle , under the cover of which we find the following bit upon our fiscal arrangements . The WWd sayg , after speaking of shooting , transporting , and meeting on moors , always forgetting Rathcormac , W&lstown , &c , " and drawing money almost hourly from the wretched working men . " Now as there is nothing like fair-play , we beg to give the quid pro quo of Irish agitation—here then is the quid-:
—" Dublin , March 10 . —The Repeal movement , under tbe direction of Tom Reynolds , tbe Inspector-General of Repeal Wardens , progresses apace in the provinces . On Sunday next there is to be a great gathering of the Autt- Unionists on the Curragh of Kiidare , at which Mr . O'Connell—who -will reach town on Friday next , on his way to Gal way , where he is specially retained in an important record case—will attend . In Waterford , Kilkenny , Carlow , and Kildare , the organization for tbe collection of the Repeal rent is almost completed . Tom Reynolds has appointed collectors in every PARISH , TOWN , VILLAGE , AND HAMLET IN THOSE COUNTIES , A . SD WHEN THB MACHINERY IS VUT TO VVLL "WORK , IT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE FROM £ 500 TO £ 1 , 000 PER WKEK . "
" From the World , 13 th March . " The Secretary having read a letter rcceited from Mr . T . Reynolds , announced tho amount of the Repeal Rent for the week to be £ G 7 18 a . 3 d . " Now for the pro quo from the columns of the World . — " Every one mast be as tired as we are ourselves of the mere party fight about the Registration Bill . The great difference between the Tories and the Whigs is that the former aro most anxious for the success of Lord Stanley ' s Bill , while the latter would do anything Imt abandon Dawning-street sooner than see their own project carried . Let any impartial peraon peruse the debate and then Bay « be can give the Ministers
credit for sincerity in introducing the measure . The fact of the case is that some c ! np-trnp was required to enable tbe Whigs to cling for a season to office , and nothing better could be hit upou than this hastily concocted Registration scheme . Here was a decoy-duck to answer the purposes of those who were destitute o ( principle , and at the same time procure for them a temporary supply of popular support . Had Ministers boldly recommended Household Suffrage they could not have surrendered the measure at their convenience , but in this instance no such difficulty stands in their way , and they will be able to propitiate the Conservatives , if requisite , > y abandoning their £ 5 clause , the only popular feature in the bill . \ V « may be disposed
to viow matters wiU » too much noverity , but we should be willing to make a tolerable wager that , after all tbe fuss , raised , something very like the Bill of Lord Stinley will be accepted . Why , it would be preposterous to think otherwise ; for did not Lord Howick , now a candidate for place , prove that tho Ministry had not long ago proposed a measure for the registration of Irish voters , in no material point of a dissimilar description ? The discussion , if in no other way useful , has had the tfftct of bringing clearly before the public the true cause of contention between the rival partius , and showing how far those at the helm of affairs can bo induced to go when they feel that the p-oplo can no longer be cajoled by idle professions .
The unpopularity of the Melbourne Cabinet has been long increasing , but it recently arrived at that pitch wh ? n it was discovered no exertion would be made longer to sustain it . Now it was that tbe Conservative party pressed upon the drooping phalanx of Whiggery , and , gaining one election after another , carried the war into the bosom of St . Stephen ' s . Terror , like lightning , flashed through every public office , and there was trembling among the tribe of weil-paid placemen , who saw that if a tub of some sort were not thrown out to the whale , they must preparo to perish . This led to the bringing forward of the Registration Bill of Lord Morptth , and if B more decided tone were adopted , and a determination to look
for measures of generel good , instead of being satisfied with beholding the promotion of a few intriguing individuals , we might soon hope to see them carried . The country , however , has not acted upon this wise plan , but seemed quite overjoyed as one political charlatan after another took his seat upon the Treasury benches ; and it is , therefore , not wonderful that those in "high places" should at length begin to consider that this was all which was necessary for the wellbeing of the community . To give a ci-devant demagogue an office worth some couple of thousands a-year , or to confer some mark of distinction upon a Whig Peer , who allowed himself to be described aa a Liberal , was deemed more tban sufficient to recommence for
the actual uiisgoverninent of millions . The Bill , we have before stated , will not at present pass , nor indeed for a length of time , if its framers can help it ; but it will bo instrumental in giving salary and patronage to those ia effice for another stssion . The interest of this debate has been rendered palatable by the strODg spice of personality and recrimination introduced into it . Sir James Graham , bimaelf a very degraded Bpeeioaen of a political renegade , brought the inconsisteneies of Lord John Russell into bold relief , and received well-merited panisbment from Richard Lalor Shlel , who , in his turn , was
dreadfully peppered by Sir Robert Peel . The desertioa of principle has of late- year * been so extensive and glaring , that it requite * ao great ingenuity to coavict konturab ' e gentlemen upon either side of the House of this delinquency . You- were the advocate * of tie Ballot , ' says the Treasury retainer to the apostate oppositionist . 'Aye , but , " quoth another , by way ef rejoinder , ' you who ate now se&loua for the extension of the franchise wheait can maintain Ministers * in place , formerly exerted yourself to diminish it , by . deprivisg the Irish forty-shilling freeholders of theta rights . ' ThU is bitter repartee . *>•»* sti 11 ** B ™ » not a Tery exalted notion tf thft political integrity of either Whig
or Tory . " " Fiom the World , IStb Msnen . " We would be far indeed from insinuating that Mr . O Conn « H , in agitating the question of Repeal , aims at nothing more than keeping the present anti-Repeal administration in power ; bat it isimpoMiible to peruse tbe address which be has just transmitted to the foyal Association » t the Corn Exchange , to be circulated through Ireland , without arriving at some such , conclusion . " " From the World , ISthMarch .
" We regret that we have lately b « en compelled to sp # ak so discouragingly concerning the prospects of Repeal—bat our duty was obvkms—and we had no alternative bst to deal with facts as we found them . ¦ In Almost ev « ry part of the kingdom tho people are ready to make immonsa sacrifices to achieve a measure wkich they are conscious can alone b « B « flt their ooaatry , and raise it from its present abject state . Bat adombt prevails that the agitation is not tarried om with m » - ertty—wnicn to bignlj tojarfou to U » progteMOf the cause . "
Let the World diapasaionately look on both pictures . In the one , we find that from £ 300 to £ 1 , 000 weekly ia now Bought for , and expected to put the fool ' s cap upon the head of the World ' $ Irish folly . We find a single , week's " rent" estimated at more by £ 7 than is required by the English Chartists for a creat national work .

I Since 1832 , we have had nine se »« fons of Parliament , the present delightful and promising one hclusive , during which time Ireland has had from forty to fifty "liberal members , " whose elections , together with beggar ' s rent , Association rent , and humbag rent , has cost the * ' wretched working men" getting sixpence a day , above three hundred thousand pounds ; to which , add the millions voted recklessly by the said "liberal" Irish members , and paid by the " wretched working men" of England , and the awama of lice placed for life upon the back of the Irish beetle , and then see the World ' s own acknowledgment of services rendered , and say
whether or not the Irish quo is equivalent to the Irish quid . While , in the same period , England haa had a Convention of between forty and fifty men sitting in London' for six months , a Specif Commission that cost above £ 1 , 200 ; four hundred prisoners defended by able coaus # , their families supported for twelve months , and all at an expence short of five thousand pounds , or four months' interest , ' at five per cent ., of tha enormous sum swallowed up by Irish patriots ; while Ireland is still in the position complained of by the World , indeed by the whole world , white England id able to beat her united factions .
N . B . Of the £ 300 , 000 the Liberator has had , nearly one half to hi 3 own cheek ; enough to give any one but an Irish * patriot , a lock-jaw , and it only makes the Liberator gapo the wider .

W . Y . S . —No . Mb . Francis Mellon . —There appeared in Hie Star of December 5 , 1840 , a ' letter from one of th $ most ardent and pcrseveiinff of our political pioneers in Ireland , dated from A ntrim , November , 25 , 1840 . in this letter the writer ^ Franeu Mellon , ajter staling the progress which the principles of the Charter were making in Antrim , alludes to the opposition and persecution which he had met from the opponents of political equality , and states , thai these mean and contemptible shadows of men , not being able to suppress his ardency and enthusiasm for the cause , had basely and cowardly turned their schemes on his mother , a widow of near seventy years of age . They succeeded . His father , in the " year 18 * 28 , lost Ms life at Antrim Castle , by an accident , and since that time , Lord Ferrard , the owner of the castle , allowed her two shillings per week as a
compensation for her loss . These mean scoundrels applied to Lord Ferrard , and succeeded in causing her weekly trifle to be taken from her . A correspondent would suggest to the Committee of the Victim Fund , the propriety » f placing Mrs . Mellon on the list of receivers from the Fictim Fund , adding thai , respecting the justice a » d the absolute necessity for this act there can be no doubt , for , by the praiseworthy exertions of a young but untiring advocate of Chartism , em aged ' and widowed mother A «» Seen deprived of the little pittance doled out to- her to amisther in her short pilgrimage through life .
