-ajjons to make all eireamstaaiees condnce to the ^ eiliution of the weans necessary for easoring it throug h the litter medinm . "The greatest step toynrds this which has been yet taken , is the unseating of the Whigs . Whipped from the mess , the bus gry wolves will howl most ravenously ; and though grasEii and a few others similarly gorged with Oinrcli and people plunder , may prefer political ^ xanction to the chances attendant on the recognition of right principles , there are not a few , on trhose backs the hair grows more thinly , who will be re&ay enough to swallow pledges of any character , nubtiag to the chapter of accidents , to furaisn excuses for their violation . To make these the
nnwilling instruments in the accomplishment of their own professed intentions , we nrast hare thirty or forty thorough-going Chartist Members in the nexi House ; more than that -we may hare , if the people do fehtir duty , and the dissolution pomes not too hastily on us ; and these will bo hold the balance of the nation ' s power 45 to make the nation ' s will to be respected in its own House . For the procnring of this band < jf Teteiaas to battle -with the factions , every means DB 5 -, be instantly pat , and ineesantly kept , in operation , to convince the ten-ponnders that their holding of the franchise is a trcst , and that their personal interest will be best serred by the honest
iud faithful discharge of that trust . Let kai ; he people le&rn to know their friends jnd to avoid their enemies , and they haTe done jHich towards the attainment of their object . ftot&B ?) however , is well done , in which anything irhich might have been done is left nndone . The people must not only see to the exercising of their jnst influence over the ten-poand "voters now on gg regisur , but they must Bee that the law la made to do erery thing fox which faction has not utterly incapacitated it towards
tjjeir own enfranchisement . The next register must have npon i : every thorough-going Chartist , who by tcy fair coastrnction can succeed in preventing the factions and their paid agents from depriving him of the power to vote . We must have done with all fastidiousness about " rates" and "shilling" paying . p » y anything ; submit to ererytbing to get on the register * and so to obtain the means of fighting the people's foes with their own weapons . As useful and necessary instructions for this purpose , we have copied the following from a cotemporary , and recommend it 10 the attention of our readers : —
" HOW 10 EXTEND THE SUFFB . iSE . " Every person , -who is in the occupation of any house , ^ jrehonse , connting-hoase , shop , -workshop , stable , abed , or other building , "worth £ 10 per year , is entitled to be on tie register of touts for the city or borough in wfcieh it is situate , if he has been in occupation of gach premises / rom tee 31 st of July last ( 1 S-J 0 ) , or in jerenl seen premises in succession , in the same city or boroagb . " It is necessary that it should be dearly understood whit the re-rising barristers hold to be Houses , -warehouses , counting-bouses , shops , and other buildings , ' Tfcich are as follow * , viz : — " 'Roust . —A . house is a separate dwelling , approached by & doox from the open air . '
" Any person therefore occupying apartments , and having conffoul over the outer door , is held to be a holier , ifthsngh be may allow others the use of soch door . As some misunderstanding has gristed on this subject , it ihottld therefare be partiKtlariy obeerred that the po » BesEon of a repu&te doot is only necessary for those who claim for a house , sad not necessary for the occupiers of Warehouses , coonting-honees , * hops , &c H Warehouse . —A warehouse ia a store-roam for merchandise or goods used in trade . ' •¦ Couxti * 2-iunt $ e . —A counting-house is a room in which a person in trade keeps his books and accounts , whether it be a separate building , or only a room in a house for that purpose . '
•¦ Shop , —A shop is a place for the sale of goods , or a room in which manufactures are carried on , as a ¦ workshop , -which may be either a detached place , or a room In a house used aa such = so that & tailor , shoemaker , < fcc , holding an apartment or apartments , and wozfcinj in one room worth 4 s . per week is entitled to be on the register . ' "' Other Buildings . —May be a stable , shed , storehouse , stall , separate building used as an office or school , hot-honse . cow-house , &c " Any person , therefore , occupying any sneh pre-Busea a * above described , worth 4 a , per week , and not Bied for them , jhould immediately claim to be rated , u the Beferm Act requires all persons either to be lat&d or U > have claimed to be rated .
" The overseen do not always consider it necessary to alter the ating when the landlord pays the ratts , more especially for abops , &c , being part of honses ; but jf the party claiming should be rated , he can deduct the araooBt from his rest . " Ko form of claim to be rated is absolutely neces sary , a verbal application to an overseer being sufficient ; bai the folio wing may be adopted : —
A CLAIM TO BE SATED . " To the Overseers of the pariah of " I hereby give you notice , that I occupy & si So . , in street in your parish , and I claim V > W rated to the relief of the poor in respect of sucfl premises , in order that I may fee entitled to vote in the election of Members of Parliament for tine city of Westminster . Dated this day of 1 S 4 . 'Signed ; of " lastrudioxs . —Insert the name of the parish , and the nature of the premises , as house , warehouse ,

Gire this claim to an overseer , and caiefnlly preserve a correct copy ; the person who serves tie elaim should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered , and the day of the month .

. Cuekb , Jtjk . — Tie are sorry not to have his approbation ^ but cannot help it : tee think he takes a lo » restricted view of the subject . We have no . doubt there are . some individual localities in which , at the late elections , ihe Ballot might have served , to some extent , the people's cause ; that , however , is not the gueslion . The question is , whether it would not , as a general practice , militate against us in the present stale of the franchise—and ice are decidedly of opinion that it would . Stott . — We think his present song not so good as his former one . Mbmbeb of the Wesletan Society sends us a letter to the Wesley an Methodists of Manchester ,
from which zee give the following : — " 7 wish OUT ministers minutely to examine fifr . O'Connor ' s letters to the Irish landlords , especially that in the Northern S : ar of July 24 th . Now , what I tdsh is , that every preacher of our society ( especially the present conference ) would examine that letter , and either plainly and candidly refute ,, and point out its errors ( if there are any ) , or otherwise candidly embrace , and use all their influence to accompliih its object . In my opinion , it points out a full , complete , and only remedy for our preseiA temporal national calamities . And this I do , and must , and will believe , till I see it fairly refuted . I wish all the ministers of Christ either to peint out Mr .
O'Connor ' s errors , or othencise to embrace them as important trutJis , and use ail the means in their pover to accomplish the same . And I beg respectfully te tell them , that if they intend to be made extensively useful to the souls of men , they must now begin by manifesting far more regard than they have done for their poor , pined , naked , backs , bellies , houses and bodies . Indeed , ihe best- way of doing good to men ' s souls is ( o " heap coaU of melting love ux > on their heads " by doing good to their bodies . Brethren , some of you have read Mr . O'Co 7 inor ' s letter : I advise you all to read it : and as you have a majority of our preaclieTs among yon at present , put it into their hands , and a $ k their candid opinion upon
the same . " H . CsoM ? i , of Newport , has written us a long letter in contradiction to the statements contained in the letter of Wm . Edwards , inserted in our last paper . Mr . Cronin denies that Mr . Edwards was proposed at all as a fit and proper person to bring the principles of the Charter before the public—such motion never being put at all ; but , on the contrary , the meeting tcere unanimous in favour of Dr . Price , —it being , } tf > wever , understood that in the event of Dr . Price declining to come foncard , Mr . Edwards was then to be invited . Mr . Cronin asserts positively , that Mr . Edwards did promise , not only to support the Doctor , but to nominate him at the
hustings . Mr . Dickenson , he says , was not asked to support Dr . Price . Mr . C , after some lengthy reviarks upon Mr . Edwards ' s conduct , says , addressing hint : — " You say , If the Doctor arrived at Monmouth before the Court opened , you would n » t allow yourse' f to be put in nomination . Now , Sir , I ask you , what did you leave Newport for ? was it not with an idea of putting yourse ' f in nomination ? I ask yon again , what length of time the hall teas open before I announced to the people that Dr . Price , the Chartist candidate , was come t If you answer true , you will soy , not twenty rnii-. utes . You know there were different applications made to the Mayor j > f Monmouth , requesting him to admit Dr . Price as a candidate ; vow know I sent in a
printed , bill to the Jl / ayor . icftich contained Dr . Price ' s name , giving the Mayor to see that there was a candidate in the field ; but no answer came back . But you were a little more kind when you were applied to , and sent the following answer : u You must do your own work yourselves when the lime comes . " Now this proves the time was not come , though you say the Doctor was not there in time . You then go on to say that a friend of the Monmouth electors , tcho was with you at the time , asked you if you would have bourse ! f nui in nomination ? to which vou
replie ' d , ' ¦ yes , as there was no one else . Now , mark , there were no Monmouth electors there , with the exception of Mr . Buttery , who accompanied me to the Inn . Let Buttery anstrer this . Tht question was never asked by Buttery , or any other , in my hearing , relative lo you being put in nomination . I told you . in the presence of Mr-Buttery , that Newport decided in favour of Dr . Price , and that you knerc it . You then said you had nothing to do irith the Newport people : that it tras the Monmoulh people you had to do wilh I asked you if you were going to put yourself in nomination ? You answeredYes . ' 1 told vou
' the doctor vas coming , and you were to nominate him . You said you wou'd not nominate any man unless he were present to explain our principles lo the people . I then remonstrated with j / ou for your conduct ; when , at last , you consented to propose him if Tie came in time . " L ., Makki . nch . —His stanzas nest week . Keadeb .. in Dropheda , is informed , that the tracts he mentions , with any others , may be ordered
of Mr . . Cleave , London , through the medium of any bookseller . A > ' E > gin"eeh , at Bath , may send all his papers by post sto any body in Ireland , and they will go free . He may address them to P . M . Brophy , 4 , Wormirood-gate , Dublin , or to Joseph Mac Donald , 122 , High-street , Nevery , or to T . P . Broady , 13 , Cros&hall-street , Whiuchapel , Liverpool , who is the secretary te the committee for sending Northern Stars to Ireland , and who will , doubtless , dispose of them to advantage . W .

We shall be glad to find room for his reports regularly .

STARS TO IRELAND . TO THE EDITOR OF THE SORTHEBN STAR .
SIR , —Could you prevail upon any of the Chartist leaders to give Iccture 3 on this subject , we are oi opinion the circulation of the Star might be doubled , and the ean > e strengthened in the same ratio . If those valuable letters of Mr . O'Connor , npon Agriculture , could be pushed into every Irish cabin , we might calculate upon the assistance of a goodly number of the frieze coats in favour of our principles . We consider it to be the duty of every man , more especially Irishmen residing in this country , to send a Star to Ireland , to let the labourers know their r eats , ana knowing them , unite with the workifts of
ihiscountry in demanding Universal Suffrage . Had this plan been adopted before Lowery . went to Dublin , he would in all probability have been heard , and instead of groans we EhouJd have had cheers for the Chartists . How can we expect men to be Chartists who never heard of the Charter \ Our principles being founded on universal justice , have only to be seen to be at once adopted . But they must be sent into every cottage before we can count on a majority'in our favour . Let every Chartist become a missionary in the good cause by sending a Star , or other democratic paper , and success will most undoubtealy attend our efforts . Yours , William Tatlor . Howwood , 22 d July , 1841 .

I « EEDS . —Chabo * of Rape . —On Monday last , William Carter , a decent looking man from Holbeck , was charged with having committed a rape on Anil Bartliffe , an unmarried mass , on Thursday night last . The woman was found on Hunslet Moor , at eleven o'clock at night , b y a w a tchm a n , in a state of exhaustion , and with evident marks of ill-treatment . From the information she gave , the man was taken into custody , but when the ease came to be heard , it appeared that she had been drinking with the man and some others , at a public-house on the DewBbury road , and she not wishing to say that she made any resistance , or any outcry , the charge was dismissed . The Bbewsteh Sessions . —We are given to nnderstand , that the Brews ter Sessions for tbi 9 borough have bees fixed to be held on Monday , the 36 th of August next .
Rewards to Police Officers . —On Friday last , at the weekly meeting of the Watch Committee , a reward of £ 3 was awarded to Sergeant Hepwonh , who has been for some time acting as inspector ; and a reward of 30 s . to policeman Sotheran , who is acting as sergeant . Fireworks . —On Monday evening , Mr . Hadfieid , of Sheffield , gare his promised display of fireworks in the yard of the White Cloth Hall . The evening was at first highly favourable , but a threatened shower at near eleven o ' clock had the effect of rather curtailing the exhibition . The principal pieces , however , and a very considerable number of minor oses were let off , and these fully sustained Mr . Hadfield's previously obtaAaed and well-deserved celebrity . We are sorry the company was not so numerous as it ought to have been to have remunerated the artist .
Sudden Death . —On Tuesday evening , an inquest was held at the house of Mr . Spink , Black Bull , in Lands-lane , before E . C . Hopps , Esq ., on the body of Francis Stubbs , a book-keeper , late in the employ of Mr . Pearson , carrier . He was found dead in bed on Monday , and rumours were spread that he had taken poison . These rumours were set at rest by a post mortem examination , which showed the entire absence of any thing wrong , and proved that he had died from natural causes alone , and the jury returned a-verdict accordingly . The deceased was 35 years of ate .
woiVERHAMPTOH .-The working men of this place , have acted with a degree of spirit , and in a manner which must prove to the " education mongers" that they , at least are not without intelligence . They viewed with disgust the conduct of an official named Castle , who . some weeks ago , was charged with an indecent assault upon a young female , and being determined that their sentiments should be known , they got up and presented the foliowing requisition to the constables : — " Gentlemen , —We , the undersigned inhabitant householders ot Wolverhampton , hereby respectfully request you to convene a public meeting of our fellow townsmen , to take into consideration the propriety of addressing the commissioners under the Wolrerhatnpton Town Act , upon the subject of the conviction of R . Castle , inspector of police , for an indecent assault upon a young female , named Mary Warner : —

In compliance with this requisition , Mr . R . S . Walker , one of the constables , to bis credit be it spoken , convened a meeting , which took place at the public-offise , Wolverbampton , last Tuesday evening . Mr . Wilcock , a working mau was called to the chair ; after which , so numerous was the attendance , an adjournment was made iuto the open air , where the u workies" showed their majesty . It was no political meeting , but was called to prove whether society was vo be outraged and industry insulted with impunity ; and if an official of the town was to ride rough-shod over the feelings of the mechanic and the artizan . There were eight resolutions proposed , and carried unanimously , seven or eight thousand stalwart arms and blistered bauds being held up for each . The speakers were all ot
the working class , but all their names we have not been furnished with ; amongst them , however , were Messrs . Wilcock , Mogg , Manning , and Candy , who did themselves great credit . The principal resolution was to the effect , that if the Town Commissioners do cot immediately dismiss Castle , the meeting , as rate-payers , would not pay the townrate ; and pledging themselves , should auy ratepayer be distressed , to support him i ' h any expence which might be incurred in resisting that rate . Votes of censure were passed on the magistrates before whom Castle's case was preferred , and on the proprietor o f the Wolverhampton Chronicle ; after which , the meeting having lasud for nearly four hours , dispersed , after a hearty vote of thauks to the chairman , and to Mr . Walker , the constable .
RICHMOND . —An Extraordinary Circumstance . —A Cheviot ewe , the property of Mr . Ralph Fenwick , of Gayles , near Richmond , lambed a single iamb on the first week in May last , and after an interval of ten weeks , she produced another lamb , wh-. ch she is now suckling , and has quite discarded her former one . BRADFORD . Female Lec turer . We perceive that a lady named Chapelsmith is to deliver two lectures on Monday and Wednesday evenings , in the Social Institution . She professes to grapple with gigantic evils , and to discuss their remedies . The first lecture is to be " on the present condition of our country , the Charter remedies ; progress of machinery and competition ; proofs that our foreign trade is lost never to be restored , and that a change in the arrangements of society is necessary and unavoidable , ' In the second lecture she proposes to consider the Corn Laws and the National Debt .
Dreadful and Fatal Accident . —On the night of Thursday week , Mr . Peter Laycock , of this town , spirit-merchant and brewer , was killed under very extraordinary and painful circumstances . Oar Bradford readers need not be informed that he had lately built a magnificent building at the top of Ivegate , for the sale of spirits , which might justly aspire to be called a gin palace . A large portion of the stone for the building had been quarried out of the site , and the excavation formed into cellars , as deep as the building was high above the ground , viz ., three stories . Behind the building this deep quarry lay uncovered . At the bottom water had been bored for , which ascended into a hoe in the bouom two or three yards deep , and filled it with
water . Mr . Laycock had begun to build some rooms on the back part of the dram shop , and had gotten them a little above the ground , and laid a number of deal battens a foot broad , and about an inch and a half in width , edgeway as rafters or supporters for the floor . This floor was covered with planks , and loaded very imprudently with an . immense quantity of stones , &c . On the night in question , Mr . Laycock went upon this floor about six o ' clock , with one of the masons to view the work . As he was returning the floor gave way , and he was preoipitated to the tremendous depth below into the hole filled with water ; besides beipg followed by the stones on the floor ; the battens in giving way had
twisted s : deway , and brought down upon him a large quantity of the newly-built superincumbent wall . Very prompt assistance was obtained , but it was about an hour before the stones could be removed and he could be got out of the water ; of course , we need not say quite dead . It is believed that before be reached ihe water , he fell with his head against a projection of rock , as it had hair and blood on it , and would therefore be killed on the spot . He was conveyed home on a door covered with a sheet , and accompanied by hundreds of people . His wile ( . a second one ) was Bear Preston at the time , but was sent Tot . lie has left four children by a former wife . No accident that h& 3 occurred in this town has caused such a sensation .

NO&FOU £ « t-M 9 kb Blessings of the Bastiles . —A correspondent at Norwich has handed us the following , which he requests may be added to the black catalogue of atrocities perpetrated under tho sanction of the Whig-concocted starvation law . The statement is in the handwriting of the unfortunate victim , who , at the close of a long and industrioua life , unsullied by any other crime than poverty , is doomed by the irresponsibles to worse than death . Our correspondent says : — " William Marjoram , aged aerenty-seven years , was ordered by the humane Governor of the Swainsthorpe Union House , Norfolk , to work In the gravel pit ; being unable to do such work , he -withheld from the unfortunate man the tea and sugar allowed to the aged . The case hating been referred to the surgeon , he ordered that he should be allowed it . Marjoram was then
ordered to the pump , which work was also too bard for him . He went into the home the 31 st of March last year , and upon inquiry found from his age that he ought to be allowed beer and tobacco , as there were younger men allowed those articles who did not work at a \ l . After enduring this specimen of Whig mercy for fifteen we « ks , he applied to the Board for beer and tobacco , who informed him that they bad nothing to do with it , and that he must apply to the Governor and surgeon . He did to . They sent word by the nurse there would be no more allowed bat to those who then bad it . The next morning he refused to go to work , as all the young men were doing nothing all day long ; his tta and sugar were taken from him foi this , and he was left no other drink during the severe winter but cold water . " Truly , " Man ' s inhumanity to man ,
Makes countless thousands mourn . " OIiDHAM . —Mr , Hill preached two sermons in Grosvenor street Chapel , Oidham , on . Sunday last , to very numerous and attentive congregations . WAKEFXEXiD . — Railway Offence . — Qa Thursday last , a lad named Philip Douse , from Ossett , was charged at the Police Office , before J . Holds worth , Esq ., M . P ., with placing a piece of iron called a " chair , weighing about 28 iba ., upon the rails of the Manchester and Leeds Railway , near Healey Mill . It appeared from the evidence of ft lad named Joseph Holroyd , aged fourteen , that be , along with his younger brother , went with the defendant on the previous evening to the railway , and the . defendant put the iron on the rails , and

They went away , leaving the irou on the rails . An engine driver deposed that he was going on the up line , when he discovered the iron upon the down line . He immediately stopped the train , and took the iron off . It was fixed as firm as it could be , without being tied . They passed the down train at Cooper Bridge . Mr . Holdsworth , addressing defendant , said it was a most serious and awful offence , and he felt it his duty to punish him ; he should fine him £ 5 and costs , and in default of payment three months' imprisonment , and he hoped it would be a warning to him and others .

MR . R . J . RICHARDSON AND HIS APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC AGAINST THE CHARTISTS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE . TO TIIE CHARTISTS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE , AND , THROUGU THEM , TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Feliow Labouhers in the Cause of Tauru and Justice , —We have seen the NorthernStar of July 17 th , in which io a letter , signed 11 . J . Kvchaidson . In that letter your honesty is questioned , and a foul libel attempted on your cnarnoter . It is our anxious desire thar even-hauded justice be meted out to every man , we , therefore , attended at the Advertiser office , and procured a correct statement of the matter alluded to In Mr . Richardson ' s letter . The facts of the
cue are as follows : —The amount of the whole debt brought against Mr . Richardson , on behalf of the Manchester Political Union h £ 16 16 s . 8 d . Mark , out of this sum there were £ 5 5 s . paid for printing 1 , 000 reports of the first Kersal Moor Demonstration . This was a private speculation of Mr . Kichardson's own , and now he brings this debt of his own against you . There is in the account £ 3 for printing 1 , 500 cards of membership for the Manchester Political Union ; those cards were sold at 6 d . each . The amount of the 1 , 500 cards , when sold , and sold they were , Is £ 37 108 . Now , mind the £ 5 5 s . of his own apeculation the people have nothing to do with , and deduct the £ 6 5 s . from the £ 1616 s . 8 d ., and you have left £ 1111 s . 8 ., and to meet this expense there ought to be £ 37 10 s . ; so
that this might be comfortably paid , and a balance of £ 25 18 s . 80 . left Mr . Richardson knows very well that -when he was remonstrated with by the working men in Newall ' s Buildings , on the unnecessary and extravagant expenees he and his party were going to , Mr . Richardson himself replied , " Never iniad the money matters ; tbero la enough of that You get up the people ; we will see that the money la right . " By whose authority , or for for whose benefit , were 1 , 000 reports printed ? Where are the books of the Union ? Who were the money stewards , auditors , treasurer , &c ? Where are the minutes of the Union ? Let these things be produced , and we hesitate not to Bay , but the working men of Manchester and its vicinity will pay every just claim made upon them , when fairly brought forward and clearly proved . The
reading of Mr . Richardson ' s letter might lead people to believa that he was unjustly treated by the working men of Manchester for his services in the Convention , and that he mede great sacrifices by attending that body . The answer to that part of his letter is , that he received £ 5 per week , besides travelling expenees ; and , as to him attending the Palace Yard meeting , at his own expence , it is utterly false . The fact is , there was money collected , and his expenees paid to and from London on that occasion ; so that you have a plain statement of facts ; and , if others are required , we assure you they shall be forthcoming . As such you must judge for yourselves . Joseph Linney , Chairman . James Wood , Secretary . Thomas Heames .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear . Sir , —I am rejoiced to inform you , and , through you , the country , that London is shaking off its sleep , and will soon arise " like a giant refreshed . " In spite of the backward-move men , there is a revival of Chartism in London ; the associations in the different localities are being re-organised , and they will , in future , take especial care to avoid the sunken rocks which broke them up before ; in a word , they will be aware of the Lovettites . The leaders in London have libelled the men , to excuse their own supineneas ; but the men are DOW awaking , and will shake off all intimidating and treacherous friends " aa dew-drops from a lion ' s mane . "
Bat what I am most rejoiced to tell you is , that tbe trades are coming out . The masons ( all honour to them !) have led the way ; tke coppersmiths have followed ; tbe tailors are likely to be the next , and we shall have all tbe rest in their turns ; with the exception , perhaps , of the carpenters , aa they are most under the benumbing influence of Lovett and Co ., the London torpedos . When the trades are all oat , they will carry London , and London will carry the Charter ; if not , tue country will without it We shall soon have a trade wind , and then we shall sail merrily on to the harbour where the full tide of the people will roll in and fill up the measure of content to all . , I am also happy to inform you that a Female Chartist Association is being formed in London , so that if the men won't lead , the women will , and then see if the men won't follow .
Our greatest perils are among " false brethren ; " we have bard work of it ; but we shall " reap in due time , if ¦ w e / irininot . " I am , dear Sir , Your fellow striver in the cause , John Watkins . 9 , Bell-Yard , Temple-Bar , 28 th July , 1841 .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT ^ Wednesday Evening , July 28 Ch . The utter stagnation in politics , affords to the scribblers of both factions time for speculation , as to the probable issue of events , whether Sir Robert Peel shall have tbe reins of Government , or the Whigs , by some desperate coup die main continue to hold office ; indeed , it appears that from Lord John ' s city manifesto , that the present Ministers intend to be politely kicked out of office , and are only waiting
for the foot to be placed to their seat of honour , bo aa to enable thorn to fall down gently after receiving another quarter ' s pay , the receipt of which they are determined to have . Though both parties are shewing that they are hungry and poverty-struck , there is much to hope from the gradual yet sure steps which tbe friends of Chartism are taking , and toe activity which begins to be exhibited here in London ,- and which 1 hope will soon assume a more bold and determined front .

THE WHIG REFORM BILL . No matter who may murmur at the recent triumph of the Tories at the hustings , the Whigs have no right to complain . They had the manufacturing of the Reform Bill , and tbe effect of the measure has been that in nine years it has given . the Tories an overwhelming majority . The Whigs , however , do complain , and bitterly complain , but defeat has not improved their understanding . They are compelled to acknowledge that they have been driven disgracefully from many places where tbey wore heretofore thought omnipotent , but they refuse to admit the true cause of their discomfiture . They are not unpopular—if we ore to credit themselves —it is only the people who ate apathetic . Hud the Reformers who are entitled to the franchise registered their votes a glorious majority for the Queen and her
ministers would have been tbe sure result How is this difficulty to bo overcome , and Whig ministers , who will do nothing for the country , secured in their occupation of Downing-street ? The Horning Chronicle is ready with a out-and-dry plan which will doubtless meet with , due consideration . The liberal electors , it seems , will not take the trouble of atteuding at the Registry Courts to seek the right of the anfirage , and toe Chronicle recommends that the wealthy and titled Bbould exert their influence to urge their dependants to come forward , and even contribute to defray the expence of registration . This done , the Chronicle is confident
the WhijZB must be restored to office in a very short timo . " The battle must be fought at the Registry , " will now be the cry ; bat it will quickly die , without ever patting much money in the pockets of barristers and attorneys . There are throughout tbe country millions of disfranchised persona anxious to obtain the suffrage , and from whom it is unjustly withheld . What would the Chronicle think of conferring it upon them ? Ah ! here is tbe point that bothers the VVb'g , and exposes him as a hypocritical and empty pretender . He would make vain professions of liberality ; but is nevertheless as unwilling as tbe Tory to extend tbe constitutional privilege of the people . — World , Dublinpaper .
EXTENSIVE FAILURES . Glasgow , July 24 . —A . great sensation has been created iu the commercial circles in this city , and over the ( vest of Scotland , by an extensive run of bankruptcies which have taken place during the last three days amongst the shawl-manufacturers and shawl-merchants of Paisley We extract a notice of the occurrence from one of the local papers , but . in addition , our correspondent of Glasgow writes that the leading causes of the disasters m business which have for some time been going on in that city have beeu principally the extensive connections that have been formed with America , the crippling of trade from the embarrassment in that country , owing , in a special degree , to the restrictive provisions of the British commercial code , which prevent the Americans from meeting their
engagements by the transmission of the superabundant grain on that continent , an article whioh was at the time much wanted by the suffering manufacturing population in Scotland . The embarrassments which have now burst out at Paisley , to the consternation of all whoareacquainted with the town , as we have just stated , took their origin in those of America , in 1837 . Since that time most of those who had been in the American connexion have been carrying on business under great difficulties ; and in too many instances , we aTe sorry to state , they have been making goods and effecting sales more with the view of meeting former engagements , than with the intention of realising profits . The great object seems to have been with many just to effect sales , that , with a run of new bills , at whatever cost they could be obtained , they might turn their hand , and remove those running , as they fell due .
It is almost needless to state , that a necessary consequence of such a syscem of doing business has been to drive houses with real capital fairly out of trade , or , at least , to make them temporarily suspend their transactions , which to a great extent , has been the case in that quarter for sometime oast , and thus a limited and unhealthy market has been left almost entirely in the hands of persevering speculators , whose principal means of existence was the sacrificing of tke property of those who have been so simple as to trust them with it .
To such a reckless length has this practice been carried on . in Paisley , that in the present run of failures there are several instances of young men , who within these few years were well known to have commenced without capital , and who have now gone down—the Iowcrc of them for upwards of £ 5 , 000 , and some of them for a 3 much as £ 25 , 000 . The current paper of one shawl merchant in that town , who failed this week , is said to be in one bank no less than £ 50 , 000 , and in another £ 30 , 000 , independent of smaller sums in the other banks ; and a considerable part of the houses in this range of connection whioh has gone to the wall , have paper afloat to the amount of from £ 20 , 000 to £ 40 , 000 .
After these statements it cannot but be obvious that the banks are greatly to blame , by their first encouraging speculation in thus discounting to so enormous an amount , and next , as is clearly understood to have been the ca 3 e , in suddenly withdrawing their support , regardless of the result , and from no better motive that can be discovered than the whim of those who direct secret affairs in the bankers ' parlours . In addition to the circle of failures at Paisley rumours , which we are afraid are too well founded , are this afternoon afloat , of some extensive failures in this city ( Glaseow ) likewise , which are quite
certain to bring down a great number more . Indeed , such are the surprise and consternation , and such is tho uncertainty of what houses are really down and what houses have merely suspended payments , combined with the reports against others that are perfectly solvent , that we conceive it unsafe to comment further on these affairs in this communication ; but , as soon as the re « ult is more fully known , we shall not fail to lay it beforo the public . Neither shall we fail to trace to its source and expo&e what may appear to bo the cause of such an unwholesome and improper state of things , in this or any other commercial country .. -- Morning Chronicle .

At Durham , on Tuesday , Mr . Crawford , son of the late Member for the City of London , obtained a verdict of £ 150 damages against the Durham and Sunderland Railway Company , for iDJuriea received while travelling on the line on the 3 rd of November Jast . His cheek-bone was broken and forced into the socket of the eye , and tbongfa he had not a grey hair in his head at the time of th& accident , within a month after , the whole hair became perfectly white . FlNDIHG THE BoPT OF a MaN DNDEB PECULIAR Cihci / mstanc £ S . —On Monday night Jast two men , brothers , named Tubbey , were employed to empty » privy used by the workmen in the London Docks , but the soil of which is outside the dock wall iu Pennington-street . In removing a large flag stone which covers the cesspool , the pickaxe of one passed through some substance floating on the top of tho soil , and which the men took to be a bundle of raga .
On looking at it more closely the men discovered it to be the body of a man , but in so advanced a state of decomposition that not a feature was discernible , and it presented a frightful spectacle . It was taken , up , and a shell being procured it was removed to the bone house of the parish of St . John , Wapping , to wait the coroner ' s inquest . It is impossible from the construction of the building on the dock side of the wall that ihe deceased could have fallen among the soil , and there is little doHbt that he came by his death by tumbling into the hole on the Penningtonstreet side two years ago , when the place was last emptied . The deceased , judging from his having aa old pair of canvass trousers on , appears to have been a sailor , but what his age was it would be quite impossible to conjecture . Information of the circumstance has been forwarded to Mr . Baker , the coroner of the district , iu order to an inquest being held on , the body .
Release of Mr . Mkdhurst from Prison . —This person , whose case has lately acquired renewed interest in the eyes of the public in consequence ° f the erasure of the name of Mr . H . Moreton Dyer from the commission of the peace for the county of Middlesex , was on Saturday last , released from his confinement in the House of Correction , Coldbath-fields , upon an order sent down from the Home-office . It appears that for some time his health has been on the decline , and that since the interference of Mr . Dyer in his affairs the symptoms of an internal disease , the early stages of which had previously manifested themselves , have been greatly aggravated . To such an extent had these symptoms increased that it was found necesavy to call for the advice and
assistance of an eminent physician , whose opinioa was of a nature to induce the visiting justices of the prison to forward a certificate as to the state of the patient to the Marquis of Normanby , Subsequent visits tended to confirm the original impression of the medical attendant as to the danger of the attack , and further certificates were sent to the Noble Marquis , describing the character of the disease , accompanied with the expression of a conviction , thai unless Mr . Medhurst were set at liberty the worst result was to be anticipated . The excitement created in the mind of the prisoner by the recent proceedings , arising out of the alleged proposition , of the ex-magistrate is supposed to be the cause to which his present condition may be attributed .
Failure op the Totijes and Newton Banks . — The utmost consternation and gloom were spread through this town by the failure of these banks Many an honest yeoman who came to market com * fortable in mind and pocket , went away almost broken-hearted . On Saturday afternoon , and during Monday , the town was crowded by people , who came in to inquire , in most cases , after their lost all . It was painful to hear the numerous cries of sudden distress into which hundreds of honest and industrious persons of all classes have been thrown . In many cases this has beeu rendered more severe from this being the time the dividends on the funds are paio\—Devonshire Chronicle . Extraordinary " Escape from Prison . —Pi . T-
