TO THE OPERATIVE CLA . 88 E 3 OF THB TOWN OF NEWBY AND IRELAND GENERALLY . Fellow-Slates , —Seeing an address in ibeNortheru 8 ar of last week , signed by Daniel OConnell , M . P ., "Which had been copied from an Iriah paper , and ¦ which contains statements the most fa'bcious , and unsupported ¦ Hid calumnious allegations aad misrepresentations of deepest die , concerning the Chartists of Bogiand ab 8 ooUand , written with an evidently poisonous sad unjust intention to excite your feelings , and caasa Jealousy betwixt yon , the working men of Irelsad , aad tbe workiar wen of England : we , who have bee * appointed t » watch over tbe agitation fat the People * Carter , the ostensible object of whkh BWM « re , whem * chieved , is to give the save justice awl liberty to U * land as to England and Sootland , an emfceUened , Ut ¦ the sake of truth , thus to address you .
Brethrem . Mr . O'Conaefl gives yon « -e * it for fco * e « ty and shrewiness , which we read with-pleawe . Therefore , -we claim your attention to both sides of the ^ sestion , to & * e the subject * n impartial iavestigatioa , as loTers ef truth and fair f lay , —at such atrfi » n » l weane willing ¦ ie be arraigned . . While reading the address , -we eooeteded tbe writer was soaething like Shakspeare ' s limner , that u when he wished to make tbe devil in tbe pUy appear as frightful as possible , he painted him a * « gly as he could to prodcce an extra degree of surprise ; and in reviewing tbe arguments in the address we will gi * e him a sentence irom the inUednction to the life of Jeremy Taylor , in illustration -of the reasoning of them . The
extract < in question , is Crom „ " Agneola . " It gives an account of some spirits who worked under ground , and sadly ^ Tightened the timid people , and were a source of great plague to them , dey were miners , they melted , they misted , they coined , they wrote ,- they spoke , they reasoned , they argued , they discussed , they tamed , they twisted , and perictmed various and wonderful exploits , dreadful and asnoying in the imaginations of the people . But , alas ! When the vessel which contained them wss upset , t * the great astonishment of the old women in the neighbourhood and the bystanders , out popped nothing ! Jstsi so ii is in reference to the addressof OConnell . He has laid a foundation in imagination only , and seasened from false premises . Hk deductions , as a matter of course , are
erroneous . Fellow slaves , —If we may . judge from the writers pretensions , he , above all others , should be the last man whe ¦ eonld either write or speak one sentiment , either pabttciy or privately , wEich would have the least tendency t © < iisunite the people of England , Scotland , and Irelaad . We need not remind you that it is the xame horde of tyrants who oppress both you and us . The laws md circumstances which have destroyed the interest of oae country , have operated alike upon that of the other . The working men of Ireland are branded ¦ with the slave-iaark of inferiority—so are the working men of England . Poverty , slavery , misery , and
destitution are the lot of both the operatives of England and Ireland . Property is exclusively protected in England and Ireland . Labour .-and the life-blood of the men of both countries are unprotected . One class of ¦ oeiety , wfco prodnce nothing , live in splendour , luxury , and extravagance ; whilst those who prodnce « 11 the necessaries and comforts of life , are livicg upon the coarsest cf food , and clothed in rags . Tou , the "working people of Ireland , are victims of the same slavery as the men of England , are , 'which has been produced by class-legislation ; and we would wish you to bear in mind , that you ever will be , so long aa you are excluded from all participation in-making the laws , which wiil protect labour as well as property .
Then , fellow slaves , is it good policy-for , him who professes to be the friend of the working classes , to endea-Tour to foster and keep up jealousies betwixt the people of each country ? Or , would it not be better for both to unite and bring their talents , influence , and energies to bear against the common enemy , ¦ which has been and is now crushing both you and us ? We have had sixteen months of moral agitation , and no signs of any attempt of a violation of the law . We have submitted onr principles to public discussion , and , we rejoice to say , that thousands , who ence stood aloof and treated ns with contempt , are no-w our most zealous supporters . We think it UDJust in Mr . O'Connell to persecute men for supporting the Charter , and endeatout to persuade you , his countrymen , to reject those principles which he himself recommended to be carried out by the Engl ish people , more especially when we take into consideration the notorious fact , that he was
one o ! the six inmviQua : 3 Trtio drew up the Charter . He , it -was , who told the committee of the Workingmen ' s Association in London , to agitate for the five points , and to be satisfied with nothing less . Mr . O'Connell calls us a faction ; to which we do not feel inclined to plead guilty . We cannot conceive how the most wily can show that a society of men who advocate a measure which ¦ will give the same privilege to all men , be their religion , cliss , country , or colour what they may , can be justly called a faction by any man . The tree is known by its fruit . " We believe , that by agitating for Universal Suffrage , we are endeavouring to obtain that which will pat the poirer into the hands of tbe people of Ireland , to more Eptedily obtain the Repeal of the Union . The National Debt , you must be aware , presses as heavily upon the industry of the Engluh people as it does upon you , the people of Ireland . We are perfectly atrare of the resources of Ireland ;
and , at the same tuna , we are sorry to record the lamentable and deplorable fact , that thousands are starving for want of the comforts of life , whilst ths eggs , beef , butter , pork , fcc . -&e , are exported in abundance to sther countries . We are quite agreed ¦ with yon relative to domestic legislation . But the question arises , bow is the Parliament to be elected ? Here we have a Parliament sittiBg in London , "who profess to be the representatives of the people of England , Ireland , and Scotland ; and the people of the United Kingdom are in the greatest distress ; and , were the same to sit in Dublin , constituted as it is , the same results would follow . However , we feel disposed to be very pliable on this point . If tbe people of Ireland wish such a Parliament" as we have assembled in London to legislate for them , ve would gladly make tbtiil ft pr «* 6 t of iae whole batch of Queen , Lords , and Commons , Bishops into the bargain , on condition that you would let us have one chosen by ¦ Universal Suffrage in its stead .
Mr . O'Connell , in addressing the tradesmen of Newry , ¦ sayB , " We axe your friends , your sincere nay more , your fenly friends . " This , we think , is begging the ( juestion , and also * " > ¦ an evident intent to court their support , and for them to reject all others . "Actions speak louder * h » " word 3 , " and "facts are stubborn things . " We cannot think that any man is a friend ¦ who would act as he did in reference to tbe forty shilling freeholders . Having taken s view of the introductory part of his addres ? , we proceed to notice his reasons why Chartism , "which means a vote for every man of sane mind , and "who pays taxes , either by labour or otherwise , oi twenty-one ytars of age , to have a vote in the representation of bis country , should not be encouraged ii Ireland .
We will now examine his reasons , one by one , anc we hope those who have read the original will read thf answer , and compare them one "with the other befor < they give their verdict . First—In reply to this despotic law , we -would jus point oat the cunning of the writer , in applying i exclusively to 'he Chartists . Is iVnot equally as appli cable to the Society of Repealers , or any other Societ ; holding correspondence with the psople of Ireland Perhaps he ¦ will tell you that his influence is so grea at Downing-street , that he "Rill save those in conuectioi with his own pet measures . If so , let him speak on mpon this matter , as plainly as he has in Ms address He feas intimated that he will carry on the prosecution giving a true specimen of his liberality to those unfoi ¦ tunate slaves who dare think for themselves , or ceas paykig the " rint . "
Second—Will you believe that a certain law epos the statute-book against the name of Chartisi So . ; this is only an indirect way of misrepresenting you the views and objects of the Chartists , to exci "the fears anS "worst passions of the people , in order p « t down , if possible , the true principles of liberty , ai for the people to remain in ignorance . Third—Is the old eackoo cry of physical force be continually wrung in your ears "* Now hts » ot i O'ConneU made use of stronger language than a other living man ? We will give one quotation wbi will suffice , ^ tho ugh not the mildest . At tbe Droghe ¦ dinner he is reported to have said , speaking of t miseries of Ireland , " So help me God , I \ reuld ratt * e e her green fields crimsoned with gore , and 1
etseams running witfe blood , than see ber miser continued . " Yet . do we wish to pin him to tl distinct avowal of his feelings , becaose "we say that t moral power of the whole people . can obtiin th . objseC We conld not consider , o&rselves men , if i ¦ condemned the hallowed sad sanguinary struggles the -brave Americans , « ader the guidance of the i mortal Washington , against the oppressors of th country . Who will dase cast aspersions « r -calomnii the characters of Bruce , Wallace , Teil , TyJer , Rol Boiirar , and , though last , not least , your own feelov and patriotic Emmefct ? Recollect , Irishmen , tl success stamps revolution with the name cf patriotic while -defeat hands it down as rebellion and treason . Fourth—We seek only to be connected with Iri Charti&Bi . in a legal and constitutional manner , ea advocating tbe rights of Ban , in accordance with t laws « f this country ; and insinuations to tbe centra are used for the pnrpose of blinding the working m
of Irelaad . Allusion has been made to that great a good mas , John Frost , who conld not look upon t miseries of his fellow countrymen quietly , if he wa tzae friend to the working classes ; and because ti « u the exteet of his crime . And it is oar opinii that that Government which Mr . O'Connell supports powerfully , seafc- 'its paid minions among the peoj to goad them to insurrection ; and , we defy him point to any people who ever rebelled against t Government until goaded on by oppression and tyrani Fifth—With that casuistry , at which the resortera the Dublin Corn Exchange are such particular adep they tell you that the Irish Chartists would have eontroul over the EDglish Chartists , in case the latt committed violence , or infringed" upon the law ; i would feel sorry they should have such controuL Sec land acts now independent of England ; the systems organization are different ; still , both have a prop understanding , and go alike for Universal Suffnu i - > Gld not Ireland do the same ? Is it treasonable i

Irishmen to be n » m i We emphatical ly ask whether Irishmen should . he considered inferior , in point of intelligence or mental capacity , to Englishmen or Scotchmen ? ¦ iway with such notions ! for we are sure the workb ig classes of Ireland have now began to value them- ' jelves . They will not go for any thing 8 hert « f placi Qg themselves equally in the eyes of the law with tbe 1 laughtteat lordling of the land . Sixth—This , charge t « false—all the Chartists wish is , free duoussitA and Caw-play , a " free stage and no
ravoac . " We demand wfaere the expression of the public voice « t -solicited , to be allowed to speak the sentinienti of « w minds independently and fearlessly of conse qnenoeB . And , because we stand np like men for our right , "we are treated aa " exclasioniats . " The party who atake this charge aw perambulating the country , preluding to call public meetings , but exercising the worst species of tyranny , by requesting the assistance of 4 &e police to lock oar jaws . We had a striking illustration of this sort of conduct , in the treatment of Lowery and Murray in Ireland .
Seventh—As the seventh reason in the O'Connell address appertains , in particular , to public meetings , we proceed to explain the way in which a public meeticg ought to b « called in any given city , borough , town , -or district . The meeting being assembled , then , it ought to choose its own chairman .- On the moving aod seconding of any resolution , before it is put , the chairman ought to ask if there is any amendment , and if so , he proceeds to take tbe opinion of the meeting , tbe amendment first , and then the motion , and that which has the majority is carried . Now , bow did the Chartists of Glasgow act ? A public meeting was convened of the inhabitants of that town , for eight o'clock in the evening , for the purpose of submitting resolutions in favour of Lord Mcrpeth ' s BilL Well , what did the parties do who got up the meeting ? Why , instead of waiting until eight o ' clock , they issued tickets t * their particular friends , calling them together at six
o ' clock . A Chartist obtained admission to the meeting , and requested to be informed of the reason why the meeting was called at six o ' clock . He asked Dr . Murdock by whose authority the meeteg was not delayed till the proper time , to give the ^ rorking classes an opportunity of being present On this being done , this party attacked indiscriminately all the Chartists in the room , and treated them very brutally . Tbe Rev . Gentleman who was in the chair could not preserve order . Captain Miller , superintendent of the police , had to interfere , in order to save the lives of the Chartists . This caused great excitement in Glasgow ; and a public meeting of the inhabitants took place two evenings afterwards , when both Stanley ' s and Morpeth ' s Bills were denounced as unjust , and a motion passed , in a meeting of 6 , 0 ii 0 persons , declaring that justice would never be done to Ireland until every Irishman had a vote , by law , in the government of his country .
Now , why has not Mr . O'Connell sufficient honesty to inform you , that when Hugh Stowell , of Orange notoriety , went to Bath to call a meeting , in order to establish an anti-Catholic Association , that the Chartists assembled in their might and majesty , and far outnumbered tbe bigots ; indeed , there was three to one of Chartists . They told him to go about his business , and told him they would not allow him to abuse tbe Catholics , and passed a resolution in favour of the Charter ! No ; O'Connell knew better than tell the truth ' of the Chartists . Eighth—Why should an appeal be made to our religious opinions ? Wa are the children of one Creator ; therefore , it is a duty incumbent upon us to bear ¦ with each other , to assist each other ; but not let that which ought to unite us in the closest bonds of union , be made the cause of separation .
Ninth—That the Chartists of England and Scotland are " exclusionists . " We deny the charge ; for we seek to place every man within the pale of the law . We say it is unjust for any class of men to make laws for another without their consent As to the middle classes , have they not betrayed the toiling millions of this and every other country ? They are selfish in all their proceedings . We have no confidence in their professions . By whom are the producers of wealth robbed of their earnings ? Why , by the middle classes . We , the toiling millions are producing wealth for every class of society . How is this ? Labour is unrepresented . The laws protect the middle classes and their property , because they make them . Tenth—Let Mr . O'Connell , if he can , but we defy him , point out where the Chartists have interfered with the religious opinions of any man . We do not do bo , because "we think it is too sacred an affair to ba meddled
with : "we leave this entirely to man and his Creator We , therefore , give the right hand of fellowship to every man , let his creed be what it may ; and we fling back to Mr . OCauntll the charge that we wish to appeal to the religious feelings of ti . e people . Let us be men , and no lor . gtr tools in tfce hands of any man who would "wish to divide the people upon such trifling differences . Eleventh—The charge in this clause is entirely false , that Chartists have been hired by the Tories . The person alluded to at Walsall is bo : a Chartist , nor even a private member , consequently , he cannot be
considered in tbe light of a leader . He has had nothing to do ¦ with the Association these lait two ytars . How ¦ would Repealers tike it if we were to charge the faults of men who did not belong to them upon them ? It is rather too bad for us to be made responsible for men vbo are not membtrs . We have pub ; icly shewn that he was not a member , and yet these wretches , who are enemies to the liberties of the people , are continually harping upon this string . Nightingale himself has promised to shew that he did not belong to us , in order to prove that we are clear of the charge imputed lo n « .
Twelfth—This clause is unjust Every Irishman can fee a Chartist and a Repealer at the same time ; indeed , he will , "we are confident , have to become a Chartist before hecan obtain Repeal . That the Irish Chartists are the true Repealers , inasmuch as they are going for a measure which , if carried , would give the people the power of repealing the Union more sptedily , and , in reference to the latter part of this clause , -we conceive that to be an act of the basest despotism , and to come \ rith a very bad grace from him who accuses ua of being " exclusionists , " because we -will not be led asrraj by every factious clap-trap presented by the middle cksses .
ThirtAgnth—It is said that the laws in regard to political bodies in Ireland are more strict than in England , and yet the Chartists are denounced by O'Connell , because they are endeavouring to place you in a position to repeal all such infamous enactments . It is also said , that " a Chartist society exists in Newry , " which the promulgators of the address say they diit not believe . Then why , we ask , did they write an address to impede its progress ? They know that the principles are going a-head in Newry ; " its members will
be imprisoned or transported before the expiration of six months . " Bravo , Mr . O'Connell ! already have you let the cat out ef the bag . Have you not said to '' the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " ( do not start ; these are your own names for your pets , ) " Begin persecution , put down Chartism , crush the rising spirit of liberty in Ireland , and I will back you . " This is the conclusion to which every honest man will come . Yousay you are apprised of the parties who are propagating Chartism in Ireland . Bat , Sir , why do you not inform the Whigs and the public who they are ?
Fellow working rnea , —Do you wish to be free ? If so , adopt the principles contained in the Charter , and reject all who 'will not concede the Eame justice as they wish themselves . If , on the other hand , you wish to burst the bonds ol slavery , stand up in the intellectual dignity and majesty of freemen ; assert your rights , and bequeath to your children the eternal blessings of freedom . You have been applauded for your shrewd-1 noss and wisdom , and you have been told that during thirty years of agitation no person has suffered imprisonment But how njany have suck into the cold grave , , through starvation brought on by class legislation ? ! Rtcollect , that in England , sime of the best men in I the camp of liberty are Irishmen , viz . : O'Brien , O'Connor , ( two of nature ' snoblemen , ) Hoey , Doyle , Connor , , 'Sthite , Mortimer , Mahon , Murray , Shearer , Ashton , Donavan , Clark , and scores of others .
Operatives of Newry ! we have pointed out to you ¦ what we consider to be right , and likewise what we conceive to be wrong . Remember , that you are addressed by anxious aad sincere friends , whose principles extend to tbe admission of every man , 21 years of age , to the franchise , and const quently , not only to domestic government , nationally , but individually . i In -conclusion , do not mistake us . We believe there are « any of the hard working men cf Newry who admire the holy principles contained in the Charter . We are ¦ quite certain that every rational and honest Irishman wiH go witb us ** r full and effective justice for all . Er-ery real friend to humanity knows we have only i ; these objects in view—the good , the happiness , and the n liberty of all « iankind ; and we sincerely hope the
• CUartists of Newry , and Irerand in general , "will not cease propagstiag these views , -which shall ultimately ¦ secure the rights of every man in the United Kingdom . ! We remain .

MORE RA . TS" ESCAPING FROM THE TRAP . TO THE EDITOR OF THB NORTHERN SUB . Dear Sib »—I have thii day sent to Mr . Lowtt to withdraw my name , and others of Sudbury , who rigned the humbug Jl movement" It being sent to Hie on Saturday morning , and wishing me to be sure to send it to Bury fit Edmunds , by return of post , I directly , without consideration , signed it , and carried it to several friends of the Charter . I thought I was doing my duty after I saw the names of Cleave , Hetherington , and Co . I bare thought several times since why that
dispateh of returning by post ; it clearly ihowwd all was not right I am heartily sorry that such men should have / alien out of tbe ranks to join that apostate Dan O'Conoell and several of bis crew . After I saw his opinion upon the " movement , " I condemned it directly . I am sorry I did not send and have my name erased before . I never will step one inch from the People ' s Charter , nay , Universal Suffrage , and No Surrender . A long pull , a strong pull , and we must pull altogether . Union is strength . Yours , &c Joseph Goody , Baker , Cross-street , Sudbury . Sudbury , April 26 , 1841 .

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —Being one of those who signed the Lovett and Collins document , I did so thinking it would be an auxiliary to the Association already in existence , and relying on the sincerity of its cencoctors . Seeing it was for the Charter , I readily gave my name to it , never anticipating that it was intended to supersede the present one . I am , therefore , desirous that my name be expunged frem the Hat , the more especially as it is receiving the countenance and praise of that arch-traitor and burker of universal liberty , Daniel O'ConnelL
In a resolution passed at the West Riding Delegate HieetiDg ( and at several others ) , all who signed the Lovett and Collins Circular are represented as aiding the new move , " and , therefore , highly censurable , and unworthy the confidence of all Chartists . " This is certainly very imprudent and premature , to say the least of it , to deal so harshly with unsuspecting individuals , by c l assing them alpng with the rest . If we have been unsuspectingly led astray , we are not to be allowed to retrace our stepg , but , Whig-like , the law must at once be carried int « execution and hurled down upon us "with a vengeance only to be equalled by that of the Attorney-General himself .
Whether I may be considered as opposed to the " old leaders , " or " unworthy the confidence of all Chartists , " or be looked upon , as you have termed us , a " rat escaped from the trap , " I shall not withhold one farthing of mj contributions from the Association to which I belong , if they choose to accept it ; and if they believe that I wished to draw behind the curtain , let them at once erase me from their book , and never trust to me again as one of their number . I have been led to these remarks in justice to myself and some of those whose names were unsuspectingly put to that document along with my own , two of whom you had letters of withdrawal from in last melt ' s Star , I mean John M'Crea , of Kilbarchan , late M . C . for Ayrshire , and Alexander Da vie , of Campsie , agent for the Northern Star , than whom two more genuine Radicals aad upright men are not to be found in the Chartist ranks .
I remain , yours respectfully , A sincere Chartist , Thos . Baird Kirkintilloch , April 26 th , 1841 .

China and the East . —We have received the following intelligence in anticipation of the overland mail from India : —The Indian mail has arrived in town , bringing dates from China to the 12 th of February , Calcutta to tbe 22 nd of March , and Bombay to the 1 st of April . The intelligence so received is not satisfactory . The Chinese Chief Commissioner Keshen , in his interview with Captain Elliot , evinced an intention to procrastinate , which , added to a report that warlike orders had been received from Pekin , produced an impression that Hostilities must be ren . QVrou . i'he accounts from India are also of an unsatisfactory character . In Scinde and AffghaniBtan considerable ferment prevailed . The fort of Kajuck was unsuccessfully attacked by our troops on the 20 ch of February . Colonel Wilson was
mortally wounded , Lieutenant Falconer killed , and Lieutenants Shaw and Farquharson wounded . In an engagement between some troops of the Bengal establishment and a tribe of Khybenries the latter were defeated ; but two European officers , Captain Douglas and Lieutenant Pigon , of the Bengal Lngineers , were killed . It was believed that the Persians meditated another attack upon Herat . Lahore was still the scene of riot and bloodshed . Shere Sing was still the nominal King of the Punjaub ; but the state of that unfortunato country was deplorable , and forbade all hope of its being early arranged . The Levant correspondence , which has come to hand with the foregoing , contains no news of importance . Our Alexandrian letters of the 22 nd of April state that the reply of the Sultan to the last remonstrance of Mehemet Ali had not vet been received . —Times .
Dkeadful Fire at Whitechapel . —Two Lives Lost . —On Tuesday morning , at about ten minutes after twelve o ' clock , the inhabitants of tho eastern part of London were thrown into tho most painful excitement in const quence of a fire of a terrible description , and involving a lamentable sacrifice of human life , breaking out in Church-lane , Whitechapel , adjacent to the church . The circumstances connected with the unfortunate calamity are most deplorable , and occasioned throughout the whole day the deepest interest iu the neighbourhood . The premises in which the fire commeuced were situate on the West side of Churoh-lape , and cemprised a brick building three storied high , containing a shop at the basement , and five rooms above . They were
occupied by Mr . Abraham Berlyn , slipper-maker and dealer in marine stores ,. ¦\ vjk > let a portion of the Srst and second Boor to a middle-aged female named Wheller , whose children ( two boys , one sixteen years of age , tnd the other eight ) perished in the flames . Intimation of the fire was first given by a person living in an adjoining street , who , in passing by the shop , became startled by a glare of light beaming through the shutters , and on looking into the shop discovered that the interior was in a blaze of fire . Mr . Berlyn had both hia legs broken by jumping out of the chamber window , and the inmates generally had a very narrow escape . The destruction of
the property was complete . The premises were insured in the Sun Fire-office , and Mr . Berlyn was likewise insured in the same office to the amount of £ 400 . The origin of the fire has not been discovered . Mr . Berlyn states , that when he retired to bed the house seeiaed perfectly safe . The total loss is taid to be under £ 1 , 000 . In the evening , at seven o ' clock , Mr . Baker , coroner , held an inquest on the bodies of the children , Abraham Wheller , aged sixteen , and Edward Wheller , aged eight , at the Fir Tree public house , Church-lane , and after a very lengthened investigation , the jury came to a verdict ef " Accidental Death .

Rathbr Suspicions . — -At Marlborongh-street Polioe-offioe , on Saturday , Charles Barley , a coaohmaker , in the employ of Mesers . Tilbcry , charged a man , who gave the name of Robinson , with having assaulted him under these circumst * nee 3 : —Complainant stated that he was on" night work" at his employers , and this , of course , obliged him to be from home at very late hours . About three o ' clock that morning he went home , and when he got into his room he "was very much astonished at finding the defendant and Mrs . Burley on the floor together . The defendant , who was without his coat , immediately struck complainant , and was proceeding to pitch into him until the appearance of a policeman obliged him to desist . Daring these occurrences , witness told the magistrate , Mr . Dyer , that his wife appeared to be so fast asleep that he could " really make neither head nor tail of her . " The defendant ' s explanation was rather an ungallant one . He said
he had been accosted by the complainant ' s wife , whom he had Borne slight knowledge of , arid after treating her to some gin he accepted an invitation to a cup of Bohea in her own room , but when he got there he changed the beverage into some more gin , and they kept on tippling together until they fell asleep ., He accompanied Mrs . Burley home on her representation that she was a single woman , but so far from any thing beyond a glass or two of gin having passed between them , he was quite ready to assure the husband that he did not know whether Mrs . Burley was " a man or a woman . " Mr . Dyer fined the defendant twenty shillings , or a proportionate term of imprisonment . When the husband got out of Court he found his wife wiping her eyes in a very penitential mood . The husband said to her , "So I ' ve given your man a month of it . " ' * Ah ! "' said she , crying afresh , "he is a man . I wish I could say the same of you . " The parties then went away .
Awful News!— "The Budget "— says the Globe Whig oracle of last Tuesday night— "the budget , &c , has created a sensation in the neighbourhood of Ashton and Dukinfield , the liko to which has not been since the first Reform Bill . All here , Whigs and Torie 3 , wish Ministers strength to carry their plan out . Mr . A . tells me that the arrangements adopted in these places are likel y to extend to Preston , Burnley , Blackburn , and Rochdale . " —Only think of "Mr . A . " ! Inhuman Conduct of a Parson Magistrate . — We entreat public attention to the following letter , which we have received from a correspondent , upon whose veracity we can rely . Two children of such tender years committed to prison for twenty-eight days , for damaging a hedge-row , value 3 d . !
Committed , too , by a clergyman of the Church ! We would ask if malice can be attributed to children of such tender agei surely , there must be something more or different than appears . If Mr . Morrice has , as we understand , children of his own , he would sympathise with the feelings of other fathers , be they whom they may . The fathers of the two little culprits , are , it seem « , poor nine-shillings-a-weekmen , and Dissenters to boot . ' We shall not make another observation on this melancholy case , but subjoin the letter of our correspondent : —To the Editor . Sir , —I was much surprised , on Friday week , to perceive a constable escorting two little children to prison , and I therefore made a few inquiries as to the crime they had committed , when I
learnt that their names were Dellar and Webb ; that they were children of Dissenters , who were labourers at Steeple Morden , in this county , and that their offence was maliciously damaging ( so the warrant states ) tho hedge of a Mr . James Christmas , at Steeple Morden , to the amount of threepence ! and you , with myself , will be equally surprised to be informed that their ages were only about eight years , and that , in default of paying this ljd . each , they were committed to prison for twenty-eight days ; and that the magistrate who committed them was a clergyman of the Church of England , the Rev . H . Morrice , residing at Ashwell , in the county of Hertford , but acting for both counties . The parents of these children ultimately sold a pig they were fatting ap to pay their rent , that they might pay the money , which had now increased from 3 d . to 14 s . 3 d ., the remainder being , I
suppose , magistrate ' s clerk ' s fees , but they did not procure the money in time to prevent the committal . The constable who conveyed the children to Cambridge Castle , haring occasion to oall at the Three Tuns , Castle-street , Cambridge , the kind hostess felt for the children , and with the assistance of some neighbours very promptly raised a subscription , and obtained their liberation on the following Sunday and took care of them till their parents came for them . Even the gaoler had compassion on the children , aud would not permit them to go among the other prisoners , for fear their tender morals should be corrupted . The constable evidently did not like his employment ; but , poor man , what could he do ? I am informed that the fathers of these poor children are nine-shillings-per week-men . — An Observer . St . Peter ' s-street , Cambridge , March 24 th , 1841 . — Weekly Dispatch .
The Meeting of the Poets . —The New Orleans Gazette states that " in a city well known to every body—if they can find out the name , " a poetical genius was hauled up before a poetical Magistrate for kissing a girl and kicking up a dust ; and the following characteristic dialogue ensued : Magistrate—Is your name John Jay ? Prisoner—Yes , your Honour , so the people say . Magistrate—Was it you that kissed the girl and raised the alarm J Prisoner-Yea , your Honour , but I thought it no harm . Magistrate—You rascal ! did you come here to make rhymes ! Prisoner—No , your Honour , but it will happen sometimes . Magistrate—Be off , you scamp 1 get out of my sight . Prisoner—Thank ' ee , your Honour , then I ' ll bid you good night .

Brother Chartists of Great Britain ! For you and for your holy cause has John Frost been victimized . His Whig-made widow is in the merciless hands of the same vulture-like crew—the remnant of his property is on the very brink of being lost for ever . Sixty pounds would save to the forlorn widow and family £ 100 a year —save the famil y from the ruthless vengeance your persecutors are thirsting to inflict .
i know well that the name of Frost , coupled with these circumstances , will make you start to a mnn—that it will act upon you like electricity —that each und all will to their post—that all who cannot give will go to those who can—that before one week passes away there will have been transmitted to Mr . Hobson , at the Northern Stur office , enough to save the family of our good friend Frost . Brother Chartists , I am , your devoted Friend , L . PlTKETHLY . Huddersfield , 28 th April , 1841 .
Court Of Queen's Bench, May 3.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , May 3 .
The Queen v . Waldeqraye and another . —This ca 3 e having been called on , Lord Waldegrave and Captain Duff stood up on the floor of the court , when the proper officer proceeded to read the indictment , and afterwards a number of affidavits ia aggravation . The facts of the case are already too familiar to the public to require to be repeated here . —A number of affidavits were then handed in by the counsel for the prisoners , in mitigation of punishment , which were also read to the court . That of the Earl Waldegrave pleaded having been under the influence of wine at the time of the occurrence , and entered into a long detail of all the circumstances , for tho purpose of showing that the prosecutor had provoked the affray in which
he had sustained such serious injuries , and denied having been actuated by any hostile feeling to the prosecutor , at the time of its occurrence . He also stated , that , in his great respect for the law , he had withdrawn his plea of not guilty ; and also his belief , that , had he stood his trial , the prosecutor would have had great difficulty in proving his identity . The affidavit of Capt . Duff was to a similar effect . A certificate was read from ^ ertain eminent surgeons , stating that they had examined the prosecutor , and that , although he had not yet recovered from the effects of the assault committed on him in June last , yet that a few months more would restore him to health . It also appeared , that the prosecutor , for some time past , had been on duty of an easy kind ,
at the station-house . Mr . Chambers rose to pray judgment on the prisoners ; and , in doing so , went into a renewed detail of the facts of the case . He said , the offence of the prisoners was serious at first ; but , from the melancholy effects produced it appeared to be more serious still . The prosecutors , who wore the commissioners of the metropolitan police , had felt themselves compelled to trace out the offenders , and bring them to } U 8 tice . These gentlemen had a most onerous and important duty to perform . They had a great number of men under their charge , whom they werebosnd to proteot in the discharge of their duty . Sir Frederick Pollock then
addressed the court on behalf of Captain Dutt : and Mr . Thesiger and Mr . Stuart Wortley for Lord Waldegrave . After a short consultation between the Judges , Mr . Justice Patteson delivered judgment ; and , after dwelling at considerable length on the enormity of the offence committed , said that the court having taken into consideration ail the circumstances of the case , the sentence was , that each of tho defendants be confined in the custody . of the imarshal of the Queen's Benchjprisprv for -the ^ ace of six calendar months ; that Lord Waldegrave pay a fine of £ -200 , aud Mr . Duff , £ 20 . The ^ defendants were then removed , in custodj of the offioersdTitse ( court .
