"Z tt &BCSST RAILWAY MAIL ARRAKGE-*^ MENTS . _ ,. soften ire bare h * d to complain of the arrangehu »* o * the Po * Qffiee ; nor hire we had mneh tos&y in the way of fault-finding respecting the JzLgtaent »» hsT 8 ** eei'reA * rt > m the postmasters jv joo r tjoat the country . With the arrangements - « e bave in general been content ; and with respect t » the latter , -whenever we have had to appeal to the General Post-office authorities , we hare in--jrfjbly feond a readme * to inquire , and a promptitade to redress in ths higbetfc degree SatufaetafT . nu . therefore , with na ffl or * wred feeling towards u pesfc-offioe authorities , tint we make the fol-Vrjing suma drtnaons vpon Vbeir recent Rail-way jjjjj jnyy anmta . We take this course , fintly , to show a great portion of oar readers how we gjxd in relation to them through those arrange-Bents ; and , Beeandly , to call the attention of the proper parties to some excessively had and injurious sjnogements now existing , with a Tiew to an d&etive alteration . Hods b&s been said and written in praise of the idvm tafes of Railroad conveyance compared with the old stage and mail coach travelling . Amongst gtoae advantages superior speed , quickness of tnasii , have alvaya been placed the first What *
erer may be the advantages to passengers in this ra peet—( and we at ooce say they are great and Bjjnj }— -ire most state the fact , that , as far as the conveyance of letters and newspapers oat of Leeds is concerned , the . van method is far worse than the glf one , in many , very many caaes . Mere time is CoBSi med between the hoar of posting and the bo or ot delivery ; and ia some caaes the transit is Brah slower . tPjtjII specify . ft ieenre the delivery of letter * or newspapers in Glasgow , and a great portion of Scotland on Saturday morning , it is necessary that they should be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening before ex o'clock I !; Thirty-seven hours between Leeds » nd Glasgow . ' and by Railway , too !! . ' Under the old mail-coach system , if they were posted by ess o'cloek on Friday afternooon , they were de-Brered just as soon as they now are , though
reqrired to be posted nineteen hours sooner . To secure the delivery of letters or newspapers in yerostle , Sunderland , and towns adjacent , on Ssairday morning , it is necessary that tbty should be posted in Leeds on Thursday evening before six o ' clock ' . TbirtT-seren fcesis between Lee < i& and Newcastle ! To secure a morning ' s delivery under the " old system , " we had only to post at one on Friday afternoon . Io secure a mommfs delivery in York and adjacent places , it is necessary to post in Leeds before six o'clock the previous evening : thirteen hours before delivery , though we have a Railway dirtct to York , and the journey performed regularly many times fc-day in eighty miautee ! Under the " old system " we could post up to two o ' clock in the morning , » nd have the marniiig ' B delivery . Thus the " aeederaitd'' system requires us to post letters from a plaos eighty minutes distant , full eight hours axaer thx-n we did under the Mail Coach
dynasty ! Tht f olly and absurdity of the arrangements we complain of will be more fully apparent when we state , that the Mail bags for a great portion of the places -we hare iboTe enumerated , are carried out of Leeds by a Mail which leaves between six isdsevenin the evening ; that they are deposited at the >" ormanton Railway Station ( just ten miles out of Leeds ) within twenty minutes after that Mail starts from Leeds ; and that they are left ftere till , sir o ' clock tteri merning , when they are conveyed forwards to York and Newcastle by the y ^ i ] which started out of London more than an hour after the said York and Newcastle letters started from Leeds ' ! !
5 » seenre a morning ' s delivery for letters and newspapers in Halifax , Hebden-bridge , Todmorden , Rochdale , Oldham , Atshton , Manchester , Liverpool , and indeed all Lancashire , it is necessary that they are posted before six o ' clock the previous evening ! though we have a railway commnnication dirttt , which makes Manchester only two and half toon distant . TJtd . t the o ! d « ftuie of i % & mail coaches , we could post in Leeds op to twelve o ' clock the previous night , and the letters were delivered in Manchester and the other place * we have named , just as soon as they now are ! 1 Dublin letters were , and are , also conveyed by the sass mails ; the Leeds box for letters wai regularly open
tin ten at night ; so that the merchants of Leeds and all sending letters are obliged to post thtm full four hours sooner under the " aeedeniei" system than under the old one ! Indeed , out of all the recent Railway MaQ arrangement , the public of Leeds derive no benefit fron ? as ; one , in the shape of accelerated despatch , if we except the Southern Hail to London . With every other v « i they are worse off now than they were before . That is , they are obliged to post their letter * sooner to secure a deliyery at the aaxoe tme ia the morning . Case tvmpi ought not fee be . They call londly for duatps . We commend the tvXa we have stated to the aotiee of the Postmaster General .
Were wt required to point out a remedy for each parocular state ef things above enumerated , we ihoold reply thai this is no part of our business . " K > win , however , point out the fact , that a train leaves the Leeds Station at forty minutes past fve in the morning , which meets the London and York , and the London and Leeds Mail at Xormanton , and receives bags from it there to be conveyed to Manchester . >' ow , -we ask why the York bags and the Newcastle bags can - not be kept open in Leeds till the office closes at ten at night , and be conveyed to Xormanton by this train in the morning ? They would be in time enragh to be forwarded by the very -mail which now carries them after they have laid in thB Tan-way station nearly twelve hours . This arrangement would give the people of Leeds full four hours more for the posting of thtir letters to those
tso places than the present system gives . And , we may farther ask , why cannot a bag be despatched by the same Train with letters for Manchester up to ten the previous night ' : This would give the people of Leeds four hours more , as far as Manchester is concerned ; and the people of Manchester would be benefitted , in the receipt of such letters , fully seven hours ! With respect to the Glasgow district , some Store direct and expeditious mode must be found . The Leeds and Carlisle ilail was timed so as to arrive in tlie latter place just half an hour al : er the departure of the Glasgow Mail : consequently the bags brought by the Leeds and Carlisle Mail " had to wait either twelve or twenty-four houre before they could be forwarded . ' ! ! It is therefore necessary to forward letters from Leeds to Glasgow by tray of Manchester ' . ' . ' Admirable arrangement ; Cannot tills i > e mended '

SUNPFiB Ti A ND . — Teetotalisk . —On Monday evening , the 19 ih instant , a public meeting w&s held in the Arcade long room , Suaderland , Mr . Nicholas Smirke is the chair . After most appropriate addresses from the Chairman , Mr . John HiU , and Mr . Alexander Wilson , Mr . Williams , who had been specially invited- by the Committee of the Society 10 deliver an address , arose and spoke at considerable length . He bej-an by briefly glancing at the manj evils of intemperance—showed that physically , mentally , socially , and nationally , it was the destructive source of enormous evils ; that all evil called for a remedy ; that the great and manifold evils of intemperance called specially for ihe strenuous efforts of the phiiauthropisi and the patriot for their
suppression . Mr . Williams then went on to point out the means by which these necessary efforts might be successfully brought iato operation . He examined the different projects of different individuals , for the removal of the universally acknowledged evils of drunkenness . He showed that these projects were nearly as numerous as the projectors ; that inadaptation to the necessities of the case to which they were to apply , were their invariable characteristics . Where were their trophies ? Where were the reformations that they had effected ! Nothing of the sort could be pointed to in support of their schemes . He attributed the failure of every effort to suppress drunkenness , by preventing it in the future and curing it in the past , to the fact , that they all stopped short of total abstinence . No definite , practicable ,
definable scheme for the production of a universal temperance reformation , short of total abstinence , had ever yet been propounded . Mr . Williams then proceeded to shew in detail , by startling and conclusive facts and arguments , that total abstinence was a remedy . Indeed , that it was a remedy was universally admitted . But the speaker proceeded further to utterly subvert and destroy all opposition —all rational opposition—by wcontestibly establishing that total abstinence was not only a means for effecting a temperance reformation , but that it -was the only means , and that it was recommended by efficiency , practicability , and cheapness . Mr . Williams toea went on to establish that the plan of total abstinence was of universal application—that to
carry out a plan of temperance reform which had been proved to be the efficient , the only efficient one , was a moral duty—that moral duties were » f universal application—that hence it was . the duty of all lo unite "for ihe purpose of effecting the declared and attainable ends contemplated by Total Abstinence Societies . As further motives to co-operation in this great work of moral reform , Mr . Williams concluded by contrasting the superior glory of the objects contemplated , and issues to be obtained , by these Societies , with the objects and issues of the greatest warriors that had ever lived , and the most glorious wars that were ever won . The address throughout , and at its clo $ e , was loudly applauded . Between thirty and forty signatures to the total
abstinence pledge were obtained . It w&s announced at the close that Mr . Caadlish , draper , would address tee meeting next Monday evening . HULL *—KiKGSTOfl Umty . —The Independent Order of Odd Fellows , Kingston Unity , held their first anniversary in Hull , on Monday last . In the afternoon , a great number of the brethren , wearing the emblems of the order , assembled in Osbournegtreet , and after bein ^ arranged according to their respective Lodges , namely , Oiive Branch , Princs Regent , Andrew Marvel , Sir William Lowthorp , and Brotherly Love ; the band struck up " God Bave the Queen , " and the procession moved Blewiy through the principal streets and its environs . Not a more orderly and respectable procession of the
kind has been seen in Hull for some time , and a very great majority appeared to be qaHe young men . The display ol flags and banners was very imposing and greatly admired , particularly the district flag , wnich bore a representation of King Edward presenting the Charter to the ancient fishermen of Hull ; a purple flag , with a full-lmigth portrait of that almost inimitable patriot , Andrew Marvel ; and a purple silk banner , with the emblem of Charity beautifully painted and gilded . Great attraction was also created by the first banner , which bore the design of the " good Samaritan , " and said to be presented by the ladies friendly to the Kingston Unity ; and also to the last , on which was gilded the crest of Sir William Lowthorp . late mayor of Hull ,
and by whom the Unity is patronised , sjpd before whoae residence the band played the national air , and the brethren gave three cearty huzzas . After the procession had relumed lo O 3 bourne-3 tre # t , the brethren separated , and in the evening dined at their respective Lodges . Since the formation of this Unity , it has doubled ita number , and the united stock of two of its Lodges is one thousand pounds 1 The Order J 3 in a very healthful and prosperous state , and there is little doubt but that tre long the iuDgston Unity will spread far and wide , as its sole object is the good of each , and the good of ali who enlist under its banner . EDINBURGH . —There is much talk about the legality of Macaulaj and Craig ' s election ; the
general notion is , that Thompson and Lowery are the legal members . The following article is from the Edinburgh Evening Post , a Tory paper published on Wednesday and Saturday : — " Messrs . Macaulet axd GiBSOS Cbaig i . N DaJgeb . —The question is generally discussed whether these gentlemen are the svro legally elected members for Edinburgh , or whether Messrs . Thompson and Lowery , the Chartists , are not entitled to that honour . It ia clear from the terms of the Reform Act , that in the erenfc of a show of bands beina taken , and a poll demanded by the candidates in the minority , the poll is imperatively enjoined " it shall take place . " In this ease , however , one of the Chanist candidates and the proposer of the other expressed their desire that no poll should take place ; but it was then too late . The
Sheriff had only one duty to perform , to comply with the terms of the act , which left him no alternative , bat to proceed to the poll , in order to test the show of hands . The mover and seconder , or even a candidate himself , has no power to withdraw , afier his name is fairly in the bands of the electors . If these views be correct , the Edinburgh election was determined by a show of hands , and , therefore , Messrs . Thompson and Lowery are the legal representatives . Whether they will take the necessary steps to establish their right to this dignity remains to be seen . " —Sj there appears to be a chance of having one of two questions settled : have the Chartists the honor to be ihe members ! or can they contest elections at she hustings free from the expence of going to the poll !
LAMBETH ANB SOTJTHWAEK .-A central i ^ tdioneerin }; and Registration Committee has been formed for the boroDghs of Lambeth and Sou : hwark , composed of members of the Council re siding in Surrey , and other workiDg men , belonging to ihe National Chartist Association .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —An insertion of the following statement of fact ? , in vindication of character , will greatly oblige : — 1 am a member of Ihe National Association , residing at Newport , in the County of Monmouth . On Monday night previous to the day of nomination at Monmouth , we had a meetiDg , when we had a letter from Dr . Price , stating his intention to come forward to offer himself a candidate , and desiring Mr . Edwards to wait until his arrival at Newport , which he declined , ( though the Association bad promised to pay his expenses , ) stating that he
was going on his own business . Having bailed % person to appear at the Quarter Sessions I started early for Usk . Soon after my arrival there , Messrs . Edwards and Dickison arrived , and called at the public-house where I put up . They told me they were going to Monmouth , and I said if the trial would be over in due time , that I should be there myself that night . I went to the Hall , and found that the Grand Jury had ignored the bill . On my return from the Hall , I met Edwards on the steps of the Hall , whom I informed that my business was over . He told me that I might come to Monmouth with him and Dickison . We arrived at Monmouth about two o ' clock . We put up at the Angel , and took our dinner at the large room . After
dinner , Edwards went out to see ( as he said ) Mr . Buttery . He came back in a few minutes , and said that Battery was at Usk , and { hat he had a trial there . We went out together , with a view of seeing the town . I met with one of our Association Councilmen , and told him I had something to say to him . I told him that Edwards was not our man to be nominated , but Mr . Price ; and that I should be very happy for the whole Council to meet , in order that I might make known the whole truth to them . This conversation took place before a Mr . Taylor ' s door , who is another council man . I was invited to tea to Mr . Buttery ' s , and went , where a Rreat many of the cenncilmen h&d assmbled I told them that Edwards had not come there at the request of the association , but of his own accord ;
that we had written to Mr . Price , desiring him to come forward as a candidate in opposition to Mr . Blewitt , that Mr . Price had written a reply , stating that he was not only ready and willing to serve the will of the sovereign people if such a man as he was , should be considered by a clear majority of the people worthy of being put in nomination at the next general sale of the nation to represent us . I told them that the council met on Sunday night , at Edwards' house , when and where Price ' s letter was read . On Monday rooming we Bent a messenger to Mr . Price , who returned that night bearing his letter , which stated that he would be at Newport on Tuesday morning , and that he wished to see Ed wards particularly before he proceeded to Monmouth ; in order to know Jwhether the people were or-

ganized enough to return a Chartist candidate by a show of hands . This letter was read in the hearing » f Edwards . We begged of him to stop for Mr . Price , bat he would not , stating that he wanted to Bee Mr . Buttery . A desire to have a requisition drawn up was made known , and Edwards promised to have it ready by Monday night , on which night we had a meeting , when Edwards declined having anything to do with Mr . Price . We asked him if he had the requisition ready , according to his promise . He said he knew nothing at all about it , and would not have anything to do with it . I told the Council that ( hey might fairly see Edwards disposition , and that he wonld not only vote for Mr . Blewitt , but that he would also induce every one that he oonld
to vote for him likewise ; therefore , that we had broke all connections with him , and , whatever they would do , for them not to nominate Edwards , in the event that Mr . Price should not come forth . The same night , a public meeting was called , at which Edwards and Dickison delivered speeches . Edwards proposed himself as a candidate , and never mentioned the name of Mr . Price . Here I acknowledge that I ought to have contradicted him ; but , thinking it the Chairman ' s duty , I refrained . Before the meeting broke up , Mr . Buttery arrived , and I was desired to step back , in order to state to Mr . Buttery what I had previously stated to the Council , which 1 faithfully did , and a letter from the Secretary at Newport
was received and read , stating the same facts aa I had done . Mr . Buttery asked me what was to be done with the letter , whether it would be best to shew it to Edwards and Dickisen , or not . I said , " Shew it , most undoubtedly ; in order to know what they will say about it . " Consequently , Mr . Buttery took the letter to them at the Angel , and I remained at Mr . Buttery's house . Shortly afterwards , I went to the Angel . The first question Mr . Buttery asked Dickison was , " if he was prepared to denounce Mr . Blewitt , not personally , but as a supporter of the present thvffiing Government . " He declared then and there that he would not . The same question was put to Edwards , who answered , unhesitatingly , that he was prepared , and would denounce Mr . Blewitt
as a supporter of a base Government . On Wednesday morning , very early , the Secretary of the Newport Association , arrived with a letter from Mr . Price , stating that he was coming unprovided—that he should not arrive at Monmouth in due time—that they were at full liberty to make use of his name on every requisite occasion . This caused the Chartist * of Monmouth tefear that if Mr . Price should not arrive in due time , he should not have the majority by the show of hands . Edwards stated if Mr . Price Bhould come , that he would propose him , and that Dickison would second him . These were the last words I heard at the Angel . We went out together , but Edwards , Dickinsou , and others went to the Mayor on some business unknown
to me ; I proceeded to the Hall , the place of nomination . Soon afterwards I saw Edwards there ; I sat not far from the place where he stood . Before the business commenced , a note was delivered to Edwards , the contents of which I knew not ; but Boon afterwards I saw one of the hand bills , ( calling on Mr . Price to come forward , ) delivered into the Mayor's hands , and another note delivered to Edwards , the contents of which also I knew not then . I heard a voice calling Mr . Buttery out , when Edwards rose up his arm and said , " Buttery , stop where you are , don ' t move . " I have seen the last note which Edwards received , which stated that Mr . Price had arrived and desired him to resign and propose Mr . Price , as he had proposed in the morning , which he refused to do , and wrote with a pencil the following reply , " You must do your own work yourselves when th « time cemes . " The last words that he Bpoke at the Hall were , that he had given his vote to Mr . Blewitt , for he had no wish to put him to any expence . I soon left the Hall and entered the Angel , where I saw Mr . Rogers ( Mr . Blewitt'a great supporter and Republican ) , and Edwards , and Dickison in a close conversation . As I entered the room , Dickison told Rogers that I was a moralforce Chartist . Mr . Rogers asked me what I would drink ! I answered that I would not drink anything , that I was a teetotaller ; then he requested me to accept of a bottle of soda water , which I did . I heard Mr . Rogers say that he would rather than ten pounds if things went off as they were intended ; but that it was "that Buttery ' s" fault . I told
Edwards that he had condemned himself by the last words he spoke in Court ; to which he made no reply . Mr . Rogers then said , " let us go and try to settle it . Edwards , Dickison , and Rogers went nut together , and I was desired to remain behind ; but I soon went out after them , I saw Dickison in the street , though I did not see either Edwards or Rogers . I left Monmouth , and rode home in company with Edwards and Diokison . Between Usk and Caerleon I told Edwards that I was glad Mr . Blewitt was obliged to come to the poll after all ; Edwards replied , he did not know what to do ; but he supposed he waa bound to vot « for him tomorrow ; when I exclaimed , " Good God , poll for him , what is it you mean 1 " When Dickison replied . O , no , there is no need for you to do that , " and the conversation dropped .
I wish to know on what account Mr . Edwards felt inclined to vote again for Mr . Biowitt : is it on account of Mr . Blewitt ' s application to the Secretary of State , to have Frost , Williams , and Jones tried by a Special Commission ? or because Mr . Blewitt came to a certain meeting , convened on last New Year ' s-day , to intimidate the friends of Frost , Williams , and Jones I or , because he left London for Newport the time petitions were to be presented to the House of Commons for the liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all
political prisoners , and returned the following night to vote for Ministers ! or for haviDg apprehended him ( Edwards ) on the Queen ' s highway , without having any warrant for his apprehension . I defy Mr . Edwards or any other man to point out any legitimate steps Mr . Blewitt has taken either in or out of the House of Commons , to advance the Chartist cause ! Would I vote for suoh a man ? No never ! I would rather live and die in poverty , than 1 would accept a penny from either a Whig or a Tory , and I am . Sir ,

TfjU-j ^^^^ II MR . R . J . RICHARDSON AND THE SOUTH LANCASHIRE CHARTISTS .
TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN & IRELAND , Friends , —We have read with some little astonishment a letter in the Star of last Saturday , signed " R . J . Richardson , " and reflecting severely on the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , in regard of some money that he alleges is due to him for printing , &c for the great demonstration in September , 1838 , and for which , he states , Mr . George Condy and others are likely to involve him in trouble . Now , Friends , onr object in thus addressing you ia , that we wish you to withhold your verdict , as there is a proper committee appointed to make all the necessary enquiry into the debt alleged to be due to him , and it is hoped that , by next week , the Committee will have a full report ready for the public Signed on behalf the Tib-street Association , James Wheeler , Chairman . Manchester , 29 th July . 1811 ,
[ In reference to this matter , we have several other communications from different quarters ; some of them following eat Mr . Richardson ' s appeal , and severely censuring the Manchester and South Lancashire Chartists , for their neglect of duty to him ; others , from the the neighbourood of Manchester , strongly denouncing Mr . Richardson , and acquitting the Associated Chartists of all blame . In this state of things , wtt shall wait , before inserting any of them , for the report of the committee alluded to by Mr . Wheeler . —Ed . ]

THINGS AS THEY ARE . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —The noise , bustle , trickery , deception and humbug , so conspicuously manifested by the rival factions during the recent struggle for political ascendancy , having now almost subsided , and as the public mind is becoming more tranquillized , we , the Chartists , ought now to attend to our own affairs , and prosecute our warfare against every antagonist power , no matter under what name it be distinguished . tbat militates against our sacred cause , which has for its object the promotion and security of the greatest possible happiness to all .
The public mind has been too much stultified by the adoption of double-meaning and unmeaning terms , such as " practical reform , " extension of the suffrage , " " full , free , and fair representation , " &c , and even the most consummate tyrants that ever trod the surface of the globe have assumed the name of " Liberals , " while the Fox and Goose Club , which consisted of a few discomfltted Corn Law Leaguers , bad the effrontery to arrogate to themselves the honourable appellation of " Radical ! Reformers . " During the recent elections it has been proved to the most sceptical that the balance of power is in eur
bands . Mr . O'Connor has repeatedly stated tbat to be the fact , prior to the recent " appeal to the popular will , " and the factions as frequently laughed at the idea ; but now how stands the matter ? Why , both the Whigs and Tories know , and confess , that without us they can do nothing . The Whigs ascribe their defeat to Chartist influence , and the Tories know that Chartist opposition to Whig domination has given them , for the present , a victory over their brethren in iniquity . It can no longer be denied that the despised Chartists can kick the beam on either side , even although Little Finality" and bis adberenta bave said Ye Bhall nave no part or lot in the matter . "
Disputes have arisen respecting the policy and the impolicy of supporting the Tories in preference to the Whigs during the recent contested elections . As such deputes have arisen between good men and true , "—

aa no principle has been compromised—no blinking of oar demand , and no serious breach been occasioned , I shall merely aay , as * looker oa , ( having taken so port in the aftair , ) let peace and concord prevail in our ranks ; let all bickering cease , and let oar great school-master ( O'Brien ) , and our unconquerable General ( O'Connor ) , shake bands , and rejoice , with us , that the election movement has shown to friend and foe tbat we have a power which most not be trifled with . And what serves more forcibly to evince our power—our moral strength—is the fact that a vast portion ef our army remained inactive , and kept in quarters , deeming the conflict between the two parties of . too UttlA importance to demand their aid . .
Now , let not the Tories *' l » y the flattering unction to their souls" ( hat there is any reaction in their favour ; if they do , they will find themselves grievously mistaken . They have done nothing to merit popnlar support : the expectations of the people are not directed towards them ; and were it not for the resolve of the unenfranchised Chartists to evince their strength , and to shew that a Whig " appeal to the popular will " could be dealt with according to the deserts of tbat tyrannical and persecuting faction , the Tories would not haveshouted' * Victory" through the land . The Chartists are now on the vantage ground , and it must be . retained ; all minor difference and splitting of hairs must be laid aside , and a hearty pull , " a string pull , and a pull altogether" made for the overthrow of aristocratic domination , and the establishment of the pure principles of democracy .
Surely , the "Finality" clique and the Educationmongers will throw aside their fiddles , seeing that In every instance where the " ignorant" Chartists have had an opportunity of standing side by side with the titled aspirants to senatorial honours , the former have far surpassed the latter in sound sense and close reasoning . Never has the imbecility and consummate ignorance of both factions been made more palpable than during the present election movements . The masterminds of Wbiggery have dwindled into insignificance ; and the Ciceroes of Tory ism have been shewn not one whit superior to second or third class school-boys , wherever the voice of the self-taught chartist has been raised in elucidation of the principles of good government The science of government is now better understood by our missionaries than by those who are dubbed statesmen and senators . Haifa dosan thread-bare coated Chartist lecturers would be of more essential service to her
Majesty and the people , than any Cabinet that could be formed bom . college-brad materials . However , as I have no hopa that Royalty will take counsel of men who have been tutored in the school of experience , wo must content ourselves with treading at a distance . Well , 1 have said we are now on the ' vantage ground , and we must retain it , as every artifice will be made to dislodge us . Every attempt to create division by the introduction of measures of " expediency" must be opposed . Step-by-step doctrines must be manfully resisted , and now that evidence has been given to both factions of our strength , we must be proof against every trick they employ to court our support Our motto is , " Universal Suffrage , and no Surrender , " and to it we must adhere .
The missionaries that have been , or are now , employed have done incalculable good . Let them go on in the course they have hitherto pursued , and let the Chartists , generally , stand firm and support them , and ere long , we shall be blessed with the full fruition of our rights . We want no propounding of new schemes—those only tend to distract the public mind ; our principles are atript of all ambiguity and the mode now pursued of carrying them into operation is , peaceful , " legal , " and effective , and carries terror into the enemies' camp . Go on , then , in the same track . Let the messengers of political truth go forth as they have recently done , and their efforts must be crowned with success . I am glad when I see old and tried friends working in the field ; and I , this morning , had the pleasure of receiving a letter from Mr . Skevington , of Loughborough , stating his intention of making a tour northwards .
The people have confided their interests to his hands on two important occasions—he being delegated to the National Conveution , and also to the Political Prisoners' Convention ; and I doubt nob but his presence will be acceptable in every town be may visit As bis letter is short , I beg you will insert it . It is as follows : — " Loughborough , July 17 , 1841 . " Dear Rider , —I purpose to visit Mr . O'Connor at York , and lecture at a few of the places as 1 go through , to raise the expenee ; I have , therefore , taken the liberty to trouble you to make arrangements for Bamsley on the 29 th , Wakeneld or Leeds on tbe 30 th , York on the 31 st ; and I have thought of Hull on the 2 nd , Gainborough on the 3 rd , and Lincoln on the 4 th , if you think it would be well ; if not , say Bradford , Halifax , Huddersfield , and Dewsbury . ! ' Will you have the kindness to adopt that mode you think best , and let me hear from you ?
" I am to be at Nottingham on the 26 th , Mansfield on the 27 th , and Chesterfield on the 28 th . " I hope you are well in health , and that I shall have tbe pleasure of seeing you on ray way . " You early attention will greatly oblige , " Yours , in the cause of right , "John Skevingtoh . " Now , Sir . allow me to state my willingness to do all I can to assist all who have the like object in vi « w , with my friend Skevington , and that I should deem it no trouble whatever to assist in makiag every arrangement for him or for any ether advocate of the Charter ; but , unfortunately , I have no correspondence with our brethren hi any of the towns he names ( Leeds excepted ) and , consequently , I cannot address the secretaries of the varisua associations .
He knows how , and when , I was shelved ; since then , I have acted indedpendent of every man , though ever wilJiDg to aid all to the utmost ot my power ; therefore I have no other method to pursue than requesting you to insert his letter , and to permit me to beg the attention of our friends to ita contents . They will perceive the dates and can correspond with Mr . S . and make their own arrangements . I will not advise Mr . Skevington as to his route , aa no man can go wrong who goes forth with the Charter in his hand . Let the Associations see to this—it is their business . Yours truly , William Rider . Leeds , July 19 th , 1841 .

Repeal and Chartism in Ireland . —We an the following from the Dublin World . Owe readers will perceive that it is fron the ootreapondent of the World , in Cork , and it tells * tale of fearful dooming for the factions in ill-feted Ireland . —** Cohk—( From our own CorretpoTuUnt . )—Ova city eleotioa has ended , Colonel Chatterton ' s agents haring enter © i a protest , and Messrs . CaMaihan and Murphy are our representatives , notwithstanding that jt ' cannie Scotchman' named Carnegie , assured toe poor fleeced Colonel tbat be would at last beat the Popish priests . This election has given birthto
^ Btrange ideas , and converted some of oar leading men into Chartiste . and othera into whippera-in for the Ministers . Mr . Haves , certainly the ablest man in our city , was furious for a second repeal candidate , and accused the people of deserting this great qaestiou ; he avowed himself a Chartist , and gave a plumper to Mr . Callighan , the repeal candidate . 1 fear repeal is * ¦ shook' in the * beautiful city , ' and from tbe bottom of my soul I am sorry for it , as I am firmly convinced that nothing but a domestic Parliament will ever make * Ireland as she ought to be . "' . ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦
Signs op the Times . —In the parish of Rochdale , there are at present 1 , 527 empty houses . Tory Ministry . —That with a majority of some eighty , upon ihe gross returns of the general election over their Whig antagonists , the Tories should , by this time , have looked into their muster-roll , and well considered who would be best calculated to discharge the principal trusts of official power with moat advantage to . the country and most honour to themselves—was a course which must have been anticipated . Accordingly , several lists were , yesterday , handed about , in certain political sanctuaries in the immediate vicinity of Pall-mall and St . James ' s-Btreet . Two of these we know to have
emanated from quarters with every means and every probability of being well-informed on tbe contemplated elements which it is intended should enter into the constitutiou of the new Cabinet . In the list we quote from , we fiud the following names , and the corresponding offices respectively appropriated to them : —Others wkich belong to those whom we deem less likely to bo called , presently , to power , we purposely abstain from mentioning here . First Lord of the Treasury and Chancellor of the Exoheqaer—Sir Koben Peel . First Lord of the Admiralty—His Grace the Duke of Buckingham . Principal Seoretary of State for Foreign Affairs . — The Earl of Aberdeen .
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—Lord Wharncliffe . Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department—Kight Hon . Henry Goulburn . Lord High Chancellor of England—Sir William Follett . Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies—Bight Hon . Lord Stanley . President of the Council—His Grace the Duke of Wellington . The Speaker of the House of Commons—The Right Hon . C . Shaw Leferre ( whose re-eleotion it is said not to be intended to oppose ) . Secretary for Ireland—The Right Hon . Sir H . Hardinge . Other officer & of State—The Lord High Chamberlain—His Grace the Duke of Beaufort . The Lord High Steward—The Earl of Liverpool . The Master of the Horse—The Earl of Jersey . Her Majesty ' s Ambassador at Paris—Lord Lyndhurst . —Morning Herald , Wednesday .
Strange Delusion . —The wife of a tradesman at Peckham has for some time laboured under the extraordinary delusion that she has within her " a ravenous rat . " A variety of means have been used to restore to her the exercise of reason on this point , but hitherto without effect . She has lately undertaken to starve the frightful tormentor to death , but it is feared her own life may be the sacrifice , as it is with difficulty she can be prevailed on to take food to support existence . The medicial men who have examined her are of opinion that she has an internal tumour , which at times causes pain , which she mistakes for the kicking of the " ravenous rat . "
The Armstrong Lives Pills are recommended as an Anti-bilious medicine , to every sufferer from bilious complaints and indigestion , or from an inactive liver , and are procurable at all Druggists , and at the Northern Star office . It is only necessary te see that the stamp has "Dr . John Armstrong ' s Liver Pills" engraved on it in white letters , and to let no one put you off with any other pills . N . B . —The Pills in the boxes enclosed , in marbled paper , and marked B ., are a very mild aperient , and are particularly and universally praised . They are admirably adapted for sportsmen , agriculturists , men of business , naval and military men ; as they contain no mercury or calomel , and require neither confinement to the house , nor restraint in diet .
