      TO THE OPERATIVE CLASSES OF THE TOWN OF NEWRY AND IRELAND GENERALLY . FELLOW-Slates , —Seeing an address ia \ haNorU > em Star of last week , signed bj Daniel O'ConnelL M . P ., ¦ which had been copied from an Irish paper , and which contains statements the most fa'ladous , and unsupported Mid calumnious allegations and misrepresentations of deepest die , concerning the Chartists of England An Scotland , ¦ written with an evidently poisonous and unjust intention to excite your feelings , and cause jealousy betwixt you , the working niea of Irelaad , and the working men of England : we , who have been appointed to watch OTer the agitation for the People ' s Charter , the ostensible object of which meawre , when achieved , is to give the same justice and liberty to Ireland as to England and Scotland , are emboldened , for the sate of troth , ttrasto address you .

      Brethren , Mr . O'Coanell gives y « u credit f * honesty and shrewdness , whieb we read with pleasure . Therefore , we claim your attention to both sides-of the question , to give the swtgect an impsrtial investigation , as lovers of truth and fair play , —atsuch a trib « nal we are willing to be arraigned . While read ing the address , -we coDchidei the writer -was Boaething like Shakspeare ' * limner , tteit is when be wished to mate the devil in the plsy appear as frightfkl as possible , he painted faua as ugly as he could to produce an ertsa degree of surprise - ; aad in reviewing the arguments in the address we will give him a sentence from tbe introduction to the MJe of Jeremy Taylor , in illustration of the reasoning . ef them . The

      extract in question , is from " A-gricola . " It gives an account of soroe spirits who worked underground , and sadly frightened the timid people , and were a source of great plague to them . They we » sunere , they melted , they mixed , th ^ coi ned , they wrote , they ^ poke , they reosoaed , they argued , they djaeusaed /* bey turned , they twisted , 8 » d performed varieas and -wonderful exploits , dreadful and annoying ia the imaginations of the people . Bat , alas ! "When the vessel which contained them wm « . pset , to the gre ^ astonidssient of the old women in the neighbourhood * od the -tey-standers , out peeped nothing ! Just so it is in refereoce to the address of O'Coanell . He has laid a foundation in imagination only , and reasened from false premises . His deductions , as a matter « f couise , are

      erroseocs . Fellew slave * , —if we may judge from &e writer ' s ; pretensions , he , above all others , ihould be the last j man who could eitfeer write or speak one sentiment , ' either pablidy or privately , which woald bare the least : tendency to disunite the people of England , Scotland , j and Ireland . We * eed not remind you that it is tbe j same horde of tyraats who oppress both you And us . j The laws and cirwufcsfcanees which have destruf ed the ¦ interest of one eountry , hare operated alike upon that ! of the other . The working men of Ireland are bunded ; "with the slave-mark of inferiority—so are the working j men of England . Poverty , slavery , misery , and desti j of

      tntion are tbe lot c f both the operatives England and Ireland . Property is exclusively protected in i England and Ireland . Libour , and the life-blood of the i men of both countries are unprotected . One class of ] society , who produce nothing , live in splendour , j luxury , and extravagance ; whilst those who produce i all the necessaries and comforts of life , are livLug I upon the coarsest of food , and clothed in rags . You , the j working people of Ireland , are victims of the same j slavery as tbe men of England are , which has been j produced by class-legislation ; and we would wi * h you : to bear in mind , that you ever will be , so long as you : are excluded from all participation in making the laws , i which will 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 endeavour to foster and keep np 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 bad sixteen months of moral agitation , and no signs of any attempt of a violation of the law . We have submitted our principles to public discussion , and , we rpjoice to say , that thousands , who once stood aloof and

      treated us with contempt , arc now our most zraloua supporters . We think it unjust in Mr . 0 Connell to persecute men for supporting the Charter , and endeatout to persuade yon , his countrymen , to reject those principles which he himself recommends ^! t » be earned out by the English people , more especially when we take into consideration the notorious fact , that he was one of the six individuals who drew up the Charter . He , it was , who told the committee of the Workingmen's Association in London , to agitate for the fire 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 : bow 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 ebtain that ¦ which will put the power into the bands of the people i of Ireland , to more speedily obtain the Repeal of the , Union . The National Debt , you must be aware , ' presses as heavily upon the industry cf the EnglUh people as it does upon you , the people of Ireland . We are perfectly aware of the rvSomc ? s of Ireland ; : and , at the same time , we are Rurry to record tbe lamentable and deplorable fact , that thousands are

      starving for want of the comfcrtB of " life , whltet the £ ggs , beef , butter , pork , &c &c , are "Xiwrted in ; abundance to other countries . We are quite agreed ' with you relative to domestic legislation . But the question arises , how 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 , j rere the same to « t in Dublin , constituted as it is , the same results would follow . However , we feol dis- j posed to be very pliable on this point If the people ¦ of Ireland wish such a Parliament as we have as- j sembled in London to legislate for them , we would j gladly make them a present of the whole batch of i Queen , Lords , and Commons , Bishops into the bargain , pn condition that you "wvald- let us have one chosen by "Universal Suffrage Is its stead .

      Mr . O'Connell , in addressing the tradesmen of Newry , says , " We are your friends , your sincere , nay more , your enly friends . " This , we think , is begging the question , and also has an evident intent to court their support , and for them to reject all others . " Actions speak loudfr ** i * -n -words , " and " facts are stubborn things . " We cannot think that any man is a friend who would act as he did in reference to the forty abillins : freeholders . Having taken a view of the introductory part of his address , we proceed to notice his reasons why Chartism , ¦ which means a vote for every mm of sane mind , and ¦ who pays taxes , either by labour or otherwise , of twenty-one years of age , to have "a vote in the representation of his country , should not be encouraged in Ireland .

      We will now examine his reasons ,, one by one , and ¦ we hope those who have read" the original will read the answer , and compare them one with the other before they give their verdict First—In reply to this despotic law , we would just point out the cunning of the writer , in applying it exclusively to -he Chartists . Is it not equally as applicable to the Society of Repealers , or any other Society holding correspondence -with the people of Ireland ? Perhaps he will tell you that his influence is so great at Downing-street , that he will save those in connection with his own pet measures . If so , let him speak out upon this matter , as plainly as he has in his address . He has intimated that he will carry on the prosecution , giving a true specimen of his liberality to those unfortunate slaves who dare think for themselves , or cease paying the " rint " Second—Will you believe that a certain law is upon the staiute-book against the name of Chartist ? No ; this is only an indirect way of misrepresenting to you the views and objects of the ChartisU , to excite the fears acd worst passions of the pec pie , in order to put down , if possible , the true pricc'ples of liberty , and lor the people to remain in ignorance . Third—Is the old cuckoo cry of physical force ta be continually wrung in your ears ? Xow his not Mr . O'Connell made use of stronger language than any other living man ? We will give one quotation -which will suffice , although not the mildest At the Drogheda dinner he is reported to have said , speaking of the miseries of Ireland , " So help me God , I would rather see her green fields crimsoned -with gore , and her

      streams running with blood , than see her miseries continued . " Yet , do we wish' to pin him to this distiEct avowal of his feelings , because we say that the moral power of the whole people can obtain their object We could not consider ourselves meD , if we condemned the hallowed and sanguinary struggles of the brave Americans , under the guidance of the immortal Washington , against the oppressors of their country . Who will dare cast aspersions « calumniate the characters of Bruce , Wallace ,. Tell , Tyler , Rulla , Boiivar , and , though last , not least , your own beloved and patriotic Emmett ? Recollect , Irishmen , that success stamps revolution with the . name of patriotism , while defeat hands it down as rebellion and treason .

      Fourth—We seek only to be connected with Irish Chartism in a legal and constitutional manner , each advocating the rights of man , in accordance with the laws of this country ; and insinuations to the contrary are used for tbe purpose of blinding tbe working men of Ireland . Allusion has been made to that great and good man , Jehn Frost , who could not look upon the miseries of bis fellow countrymen quietly , if he was a true friend to the working classes ; and because this was the extent of his crime . And it is our opinion , that that Government which Mr . O'Connell supports so powerfully , sent its paid minions among the people

      to goad them to insurrection ; and , we defy him to point to any people who ever rebelled against the Government until goaded on by oppression and tyranny . ' . Fifth—With that casuistry , at which the resorters of i the Dublin Corn Exchange are such particular adepts , they tell you that the Irish Chartists would ha-re no eontroul over the English Chartists , in case the latter committed violence , or infringed upon the law ; we ' vould feel sorry they should have such contronL Scotland acts now independent of England ; the systems of organization are different ; still , both have a proper understanding , and go alike for l ^ niversil Suffrage . C " -Bid not Ireland do the same ? Is it treasonable for

      Untitled Article

      Irishmen to be men ? We emphatically ask whether Irishmen should be considered inferior , in point of intelligence or mental capacity , to Englishmen or Scotchmen ? Away with such notions ! for we are sore the working classes of Ireland have now begun to value themselves . They will not go for any thing sh « rt of placing themselves equally in the eyes of the law with the haughtiest lordling of the land . Sixth—This charge is false—all the Chartists wish is , free discussion and fair-play , a " free stage and no

      favour . " We demand where the expression of tbe public voice is solicited , to be allowed to speak tbe sentiments of our minds independently and fearlessly of consequences . And , because we stand up like mea for our right , we are treated as " exclusionists / ' Tbe party wiw make this charge are perambulating tbe -country , pretending to call public meetings , but exercising the worst species of tyranny , by requesting the assistance oT the police to lock ov jaws . We had-a striking illustration of this sort of conduct , in the treatment of fcowery and Muny ift Ireland .

      Seventh—As tke sevecth reasoa in tbe OKJonnell . address appertains , in particular , to public Meetings , we proceed to explain tbe way in which a public meeting ought to be called in any gives city , borosgh , town , * r district Tbe Meeting being assembled , then , it - light to choose it * « vn chairman . On &be moving ¦ and seconding of aay resolution , before it is put , the chairman ought to aek if there is any amendment , and if so , he proceeds to take the opinion ef tbe meeting , it be amendment first , and then the motieo-, 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 , fur eight o ' clock an the evening , for tbe purpose of submitting resolutions in favour of Lord Morpeth ' s BilL Well , what ¦ did the parties do who got up the meeting ? Why , instead of waiting until eight o ' clock , they issued tickets 1 ~ their particular friends , calling them together at six

      e " . clock . A Coartist obtained admission to the meeting , aad requested to be informed of the reason why the meeting was called at six o ' clock . He asked Dr . Murdack by whose authority the meeting was not delayed till the proper time , to give the working classes an oj ^ ortunity of being present Or . this being done , this party attacked indiscriminately all the Chartists in the rood , 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 meetisg of tbe 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 , Out ) persons , declaring that justice would never be dune to Ireland until every Irishman bad a vote , by law , in tbe government of his country .

      > ow , why has not Mr . O'C-. < nnell sufficient honesty to inform yon , that when Hugh Stowell , of Orange notoriety , went to Bath to call a meeting , in order to establish an anti-Catbolic Association , that the Chartists assembled in their might and majesty , and far outnumbered the 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 the Catholics , and passed a resolution in favour of the Charter . ' Xo ; O'Connell knew better than tell the truth of the Chartists . Eighth—Why should an appeal be made to our religious opinions ? We 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 unioD , be made the cause of separation .

      Ninth—That the Chanists of England and Scotland are " exclusionists . " We deny the charge ; for we seek to place every man within the pale of tbe 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 . OConnell , 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 so , because we think it is too sacred an affair to be 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 . O'Connell the charge tLat we -wish to appeal to the reiigious feelings of the people . Let us be men , and no longer tools in tbe 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 hind by the Tories . The person alluded to at Wa ' . sall is no : a Chartist , nor even

      a private member , consequently , he cannot be considered in the light of a leader . He has had nothing to do with the Association these last two years . 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 vrho are not members . We have pub . icly shewn that he was not a member , and yet tLese 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

      to ns . Twelfth—This clause isurjust Every Irishman can fee a Chartist and a Repealer at the same time ; indeed , he will , we are confident , have to become a Caartist before he can obtain Repeal . That the Irish C ' artists are the true Repealers , inasmuch as tbey are going for a measure which , if carried , would give the people the power of repealing the Union more sp . edily ; and , in refererce to the latter part of this clause , we conceive that to be an act of the basest despotism , and to come with a very bad grace from him who accuses us of being " exclusionists , " because we will not be led astray by every factious clap-trap presented by the middle classes .

      Thirteenth—Itissaid thatthelaws mregardtopohtical 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 dirt 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 ^ fewry ; " 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 sa \ d to " the base , bloody , and brutal Whigs , " id ) not start ; these are your own names for your pets , ) " Begin persecution , puS 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 . You say 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 meH , —Do you wish to be free ? If bo , adopt the principles contained in the Charter , and reject all who will not concede the same justice as they wish themselves . If , on the other hand , you wish to burst the bonds of slavery , stand up in the intellectual dignity and majesty of freemen ; assert your rights , and bequeath to your chi'dren the eternal blessings of freedom . You have been applauded for yonr shrewdnass and wisdom , and you have been told that during thirty years of agitation no person has suffered imprisonment . But how many have sunk into the cold grave , through starvation brought on by class legislation ? Rtcollect , that in England , a ^ rne of the best men in the camp of liberty are Irishmen , viz .: O'Brien , O'Connor , ( two of nature ' snoblemen . ) Hoey , Doyle , Connor , White , Mortimer , Mahon , Murray , Shearer , Ashton , Donavan , Clark , and icores 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 the admission of every man , 21 years of age , to the franchise , and consequently , not only to domestic government , nationally , but individually . In conclusion , do not mistake us . We believe there are many 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 will go with us for full and effective justice for all . Every real friend to humanity knows we have only

      these objects in view—the good , the happiness , and the liberty of all mankind ; and we sincerely hope the Chartists of Newry , and Ireland in general , will not cease propagating these views , which shall ultimately secure the rights of every man in the United Kingdom . We remain , Brethren , In the cause of pure and genuine democracy , James Leech , President . James Cartledce , Richard Littleu , John Campbell , * Secretary Executive Rooms , Manchester , April 27 th , 1841 .

Dear Sib , —I have this day sent to Mr- tovett to wi thdraw my name , and others of Sudbury , who signed tb b humbug " movement . '' It being sent to me on Si iturday morning , and wishing me to be sure to send it to Bury St Edmowis , by return of post , I ¦ directly , vithout consideration , signed it , and tarried it to s everal friends of tbe Charter .

      was not right . I am heartily sorry that suet men should have fallen oat of the ranks to join that apostate Ban O'Connell aad several of his crew .

      TO THE 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 tbe 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 list , tbe 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 meeting ( 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 classing them along with tbe rest . If we have been unsuspectingly led astray , we are not to be allowed to retrace our steps , but , Whig-like , the law must at once be carried inte 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 tbe 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 sever trust to me again as one of their number . I Lave 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 week ' 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 and upright men are not to be found in the Chartist ranks . I remain , yours respectfully , A sincere Chartist , Tuos . Baird . Kirkintilloch , April 26 th , 1841 .

      After some convereaiion their Lordships divided , and the motion was carried by a majority of 09 to 36 . Lord LYNDiiunsT then moved that Birmingham should be altogether exempted from the operation of the Bill . The Marquis of Normanby and the Marquis of Lansdowne opposed the motion . After some conversation , the Marquis of Normanby declined to press his opposition , though he still objected to leave Birmingham out of a Bill intended to benefit every town in the kingdom .

      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 , briDging dates from China to the l' 2 th of February , Calcutta to the 22 nd of March , and Bombay to the 1 st of April . The intelligence so received is not satisfactory . Th « 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 renewed . The accounts from India are also of an unsatisfactory character . In Scinde and Affghanistan considerable ferment prevailed . The fort of Kojuck was unsuccessfully attacked by our troops

      on the 20 th of February . Colonel Wilson was mortally wounded , Lieutenant Falconer killed , and Lieutenants Shaw and Farquharson wounded . In an engagement between some troops of the Bengai establishment and a tribe of Khybenries the latter were defeated ; but two European officers , Captain Douglas and Lieutenant Pigoti , of the Bengal Engineers , 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 Mchemet Ali had not yet been received . — Times . Dreadful Fire at Whiteciiapel . —Two Lives Lost . —On Tuesday morning , at about ten minutes after twelve o ' clock , the inhabitants of the eastern part of London were thrown into the most painful excitement in consequence of a fire of a terrible description , amfe «« jvolving a lameutable 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 in the neighbourhood . The premises in which the file commenced were situate

      on the West side of Church-lane , and comprised a brick building three stories 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 , who let a portion of the Srst aad second floor to a middle-aged female named Wheller , whose children ( two boys , one sixteen years of age , and the other eight ) perished in the flames . Intimation of the fire wss first given b y a person living in an adjoining street , who , in passing by the shop , became ttartled 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 his 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 seemed perfectly safe . The total loss is faid 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 of " Accidental Death .

      The Smallest Steam Engine in the Wokld . — We have been gratified with the sight of a model of a high pressure steam engine , beautifully executed in silver , by Mr . John Mitohell , a working engineer of Redruth , the cylinder and parallel motion of whioh stand within the circumference of a fourpenny piece ! Many of the frequenters of our polytechnic exhibitions may remember a very diminutive model , exhibited by the same skilful workman three years ago , which as it was not convenient to show that engine at work , was generally believed not to be a working model . We had , however , seen it worked and we thought we bad witnessed the ne plus ultra

      of microscopic engineering ; but the model of which we now speak is scarcely more than half its size , the cylinder being one tenth of an inoh in diameter , the whole machine , weighing but the eighth of an ounce , and a teaspoonful of water sufficing to set the machinery working ( by crown wheel gear > with a force and velocity altogether amazing . There is a novelty in the construction of the slide valve , of which it would be difficult to give a description which would be intelligible to the general reader , but whieh evidences an ingenuity in designing , and a skill in workmanship which we hope will te employed in future works of greater magnitude and importance . — West Britm .

      Ratbrs Suspicious . — -At Marlborongh-street Police-office , on Saturday , Charles Barley , a coachmaker , in the emoloy of Messrs . Tilbury , charged a man , who gave the name of Robinson , with having assaulted him under these circumstances : —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 , aad when he got into his ro « m he was very much astonished at finding the defendant ' and Mrs . Burley on the floor together . The defendant , who was without his coat , immediately titruck complainant , and was proceeding to pitch into him until the appearance of a policeman obliged him to desist . During 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 some slight knowledge of , and 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 lik « to which has not been since the first Reform Bill . All here , Whigs and Tories , wish Ministers strength to carry their plan out . Mr . A . tells me that the arrangements adopted in these places are likely to extend to Preston , Burnley , Blackburn , and Roohdale . "—Only think of "Mr . A . " ! Inhuman Conduct op a Parson Magistrate . — We entreat public attention to the following letter , which we have received from a correspondent , upon whose veracity wo can rely . Two children of such tender years committed to prison for twenty-eight days , for damaging a hedge-row , value 3 J . !

      Committed , too , by a clergyman of the Church ! We would ask if malice can be attributed to children of such , tender age ? surely , there must be something more or different than appears . If Mr . Morrice has , as we understand , children of his own , he would sympathise wiJ ^ h 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 Disseuters to boot ! We shall not make another observation on this melancholy case , but subjoin the letter of our correspondent : —To Ike 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 6 tates ) the hedge of a Mr ; James Christma ? , 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 l ^ d . 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 up 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 . Th . e constable who conveyed the children to Cambridge Castle , having occasion to call 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 , and 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 .

      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 pay . Magistrate—Was it you that kissed the girl and raised the alarm 1 Prisoner-Yes , 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 ! g « t out of my sight . Prisoner-.

      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 vuJture-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 family 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 man—that it w'll act upon you like electricity —that each and 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 Star office , enough to save the family of our good friend Frost . Brother Chartists , I am , your devoted Friend , L . PlTKETHLY . Huddcrsfidd , 28 th April , 1841 .

      The Queen v . Waldegrave and another . —This case 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 after wards 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 punishm a nt , which were also read to the court . That of the Earl Waldegrave pleaded havingbeen under the influence of wine at the time of the occurrence , and entered into along 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 certain 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 pasthad 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 , tho 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 justice . These gentlemen had a most onerous and important duty to perform . They had a great number of men under their charge , whom they were botrnd to protect in the discharge of their duty . Sir Frederick Pollock then

      addressed the court on behalf of Captain Van ; and Mr . Thesiger and Mr . Stuart Wortley for Lord Waldegrave . After a short consultation between the Judges , Mr . Justice Patteaon delivered judgment ; and , after dwelling at considerable length on the enormity of the offence committed , said that the court having taken into consideration- all the circumstances of the case , the sentence waa , that each of the defendants be confined in the custody of the marshal of the Queen ' s Bench prison , for the space of six calendar months ; that Lord Waldegrave pay a fine of £ 200 , and Mr . Duff , £ 20 . The defendants were then removed , in custody of the officers of the court .

The Corn trade during the week h « eon tinued limited and dull , which has been consider » blv added to by the unexpected announcement from Ministers , that they intend proposing for consideration an alteration of the present law , by substituting

      a moderate nxed duty . This startling proposition has thrown the trade here into such a state of eon fusion , that sellers and buyers are equally at aloag how to proceed , and this uncertainty will continue to embarrass the trade until something more positive ia known of the Government measure . We do not alter the value of any kind of Grain , bond o r free , butconsider for the moment the price almost nominal . Rapeseed is more inquired for ; importers beine unwilling to submit to present prices , are landinAs it arrives . 6 Newcastle Corn Market , May 1 . —Wo had this morning a good show of Wheat from the neighbouring counties , which , coupled with somo portion of the recent arrivals of foreign Wheat offering dnl »

      paid , caused the market to rule dull , and a decline of Is . per quarter must be noticed since this diy week . The little Malting Barley here finds purchasers at previous rates , but the seas on is now about over with us . Rye meets with little enquiry , and even the finest samples are a dull sale . In Being and Peas nothing doing . There is yet no improTementin the demand for Malt , and even fortheTety finest qualities our quotations are difficult to realire . The supply of Oats from the country this moraine was again liberal , but the demand being good , last week ' s rates were maintained . We have this week a further arrival of about 2 , 000 sacks of Flour , and the trade continues very depressed . We again reduce our quotations Is . per sack , and even at that decline sales are with difficulty made .

      York Corn Market , Saturday , Mat 1 . —The fine weather seems to have but little effect on inducing our farmers to bring forward larger supplies of Grain , and though tho millers are not so free buyers as of late , we do not alter pur quotations for anything . Manchester Corn Market , Sat . May 1 . —The supplies of British produce from all quarters continue on the most limited scale : of Foreign the imports this week comprise 1958 quarters of Wheat and 14 . 998 barrels of Flour . The duty on Wheat has advanced Is . per quarter , in anticipation of which some quantity of that article as well as of Flour his been entered for home consumption . At our market this morning there was but little passing , and we repeat the quotations of each article nominally u on this day se ' nnieht .

      The Great Beggar of the Age . [— Of all men under the sun , Daniel O'Connell is the person who ought to make his allusions to mendicity the most delicate . Is he not the leading mendicant of Britain ; the prince of beggarmen , whose wallets are open to all accessions , from a potato to a pound sierliDg ; who lives by begging , speaks for begging , agitates for begging , bullies , blarneys , and blasphemes for begging ; to whom begging is air , eloquence , li ' e , hope—all ! Does this man accommodate his mouth to mention spoils , and pecnlaiion , and plunder , presumed to be perpetrated by Tories ! Daniel O'Connell , and none else , could have mustered impudence to do so . This , in fact , is one striking characteristic of a depraved and ruined character , that such can steal , and yet preach homilies against thefi ; murder , and harangue about the Rathcorniae slaughter ; rob the poor , and weep over their oppressions ; cry " Liberty fer ever ! " and the meanwhile add another rivet . —Fraxer ' t Magazine .
