      I a ;; . ^ r : ecUy aware tha" . your Gra . ce is a Duk « , sad cocst-- ¦ : ly removed ic tht £ _ le cf society to a greet disiar ; - - - from jo _ Grace ' s correspondent ; but -Ten on this ¦ ¦ : -t I io not envy yonr title « r the inesr . s by whici ; _ a acquired it . Bst as I b- , _ the imice of your God <_^ - ; v brow , and ] et claim for birib to the 13 D i ¦ whicl 7 ^ -3 seem to forget "sras once your home , 1 feel thatl ti .. not only j _*_ Ud , but that it is my duty to do it- : : ! el can in the cause which , next to life , a gen _ t ~ i rishman values most dearly . It - - zot the firs : rice that Ire and" suffered thont ; b ihe treacbery of her children , and witnessed ihefir : . rher ungrateful l-ohs selling Dot only themselves b : t her , for a "iless of Pottage" ; nor mast jour ' jrs ^ e be an gry if history hand you down to poster i-T £ s an advocate for icjusace and a voluntary execvL . ic- ? t of its edicts .

      ic : r Grace laasi cenainly be aware of the fact that lr ' -ad Eever was conquered by force of arms , aadi .: ; even the Union was not fairly obtained , and consequently the Government have no just claim to re : x _ mat which was as illegally acquired , as it _ £ rsi : ' lontly possessed . As a christiac your Grace Ehoald \ - ¦ aware of ihe c&icmsiid "To g : re ererv oneh > ^ u , " and the precept , "To do unto others as you would mtn should do unto 50 a . "' Mother Chui yi . ins all this into yonr Grace ' s ears , and your Grar . irusr submit to her "Anathema' unless you abid-. bj hei injunctions . Bat what signifies the old l * dy " 5 remonstrance- —the political conscience predominates over the religious , and the thunders of scriptural denunciation are drowned in the anticipated roar of artillery , which , under the auspices of jour Grace , threatens to sweep out ~ f existence the people of a persecuted country , asd blot out her name from aiTOE-d-i the nations of the earth .

      Verily , your Grace must have forgotten the tactics of the General in having thus prematurely exposed jonr plan of action , and by forgetting that prudence 13 the better pan of ralour . A 3 a military man , jour Grac « has acted wrong in shewing your weak ness to the enemy ; and , as a politician , I would , viti . ' - m meaning any offence , pay it 13 a very noisy but il ' -Eiivised exhibition of facdous spirit , and is more remarkable for froth than wisdom . - Year Grace may have witnessed the performance of a ' arce , entitled " Bombastes Furioso , " and if so . perhaps remember how the hero of the scene hangs up hi ? boots and vauntingly proclaims—* Whoever does those boots displace Stall meet Bomhastes face to face , "

      And then 3 trnt 3 of the stage with the little drummer ;;! bis heels beating 9 march on a piece of sheep-Ekin by way of accompaniment to his movement . Thi--, I grant , is rather a comical likeness of a General toda Doke , who has been the conqueror of Uapoleon , and the instrument in the hands of a despot to ernEh the rising spirit ef continental Hber . y ; but if your Grace will only view yourself in the dear mirror of impeiiikabie jast : ce and nnsullied iruth you will soon perceive the resemblance to be perfect—Whoever will not bold his peace Shall meet old BoMB-ast face to face .

      Bnt , now mark , my Lord Dnie ! When the voice cf pnbiic opinion Ehall have concentrated the moral energies of the millions whom you would annihilate , the bombastic threats of the entire host of modern Taricsos will be hashed ; and when retreat will be ncCcfsary , there will be more drummers than one to beat sp the hearts of yonr dispirited companions to some snch enlivening tune as the " Rogue's march , " © r perhaps the more appropriate strain of " There you go with your eye ont . " This , my . Lord Ihike , will most positively bs the end of all your projects , and I will now be so plain as to tell you why I venture to prophesy vour discomfiture .

      As your Grace is doubtless conversant with the history of the Irish people , I will refer you to its pages for proof whether tyranny in any shape , either political , reli g ious , or military ever succeeded in its attempts to stifle the cry for justice , or could bind the spirit of liberty which Eoared above misfortune , and greTT mighty even amid the din of persecution ; and which at this moment , like a harbinger of peace , spreads her JE ^ is over her devoted children . Your Grace may seek in vain for an example through the black catalogue of one hundred years of fcitter sufferings , nor will you find by a reference io the more modern portion of that period , nor even while your Grace has figured as a persecutor of hi 3 brethren , & proof that violeEt threats or measures have been of any avail , or could either terrify into snbmi ? sion or compel that people to acknowledge the power which crushed them -to be aught save tyrannical and unjust .

      Your Grace ' s opposition to the Catholic Emancipation Bill is stiil remembered , and all classes of lumest men can see in your attempts upon the liberties of the Irish , the certain basis of your own and parly s abandonment of your position , and unqualified accession to the demands of an injured and too long insulted people . The opposition and vi . lent declamations of faction against the measure of emancipation , mtlted away Lk- vapour -before the morning snn , and even the great General whose titles are written in the blood of liberty ' s heroes , and whose heart is as callous as the iron-bolts which paved his way to a Dukedom , was constrained to yield to the force of public opinion , and acknowledge himself defeated dj the moral might of an invincible people . Your Grace will also remember the Irish people

      hare learned bj sad experience , the fact that the Government have invariably , as in the present case , first goaded them to breaches of the peace , and then inflicted premeditated vengeance on the heads of ihe aggressor . History bears ample testimony to the irnth of this assertion , nor can your Grace escape flie impntation of wantonly throwing down the « auntlet as a stimulus for Irishmen to pick Uup . But , thank God , that day is gone by 5 the people have on a former occaaon driven your Grace from what yon considered a tenable position , and by no other means save moral force , and have uttle now to dread from faction , whatever shape it may assume provided they ar-- rce to each other and the cause which binds them . The Irish have grow a more wise asd temperate , to be afraid 01 your

      Grace ' s physical display , and treat with merited contempt the effarts of your Grace ' s satelitee , to prompt them to deeds which would plunge themselves and country into the horrors of a civil war , and only suit the purposes of the parties who are base enongh to propagate it . How could your Grace , a 3 an Irishman , listen to the vile and diabolical announcement of the Earl of Roden— " That the people of Ulster wera still sennd and loyal , and ready to do in 1843 what they had so effectually done in 1798 , " when jou must know that hi 3 Lordship meant that they were ready " to wade knee-deep in Papist blood , " to support a cruel system of Government—to uphold a church ascendancy , and to perpetuate , as a national

      gntvance , " the glorious , pious , and immortal memory" of their darling William , the father of the Orange faction , whose war-cry is , " War to the Papists , and blood to the knife , " and whose motto is the two greatest erils of the Empire , " Church and State , and no surrender" \ The Rodens , the Joce-- ' yns , the Lansdownes , the DowaBbires , and even the sapient Broughams , echo back the cry of extermination , and death , or gagging is to be lavished on all who dare to raise their voice against injustice or breathe a prayer for the success of poor , unhappy , persecuted and degraded Ireland . But mark the warning ! The venom of their malioe will recoil on their own guilty heads ; and those who in power would bury their assassin daggers in the bosoms of

      their prostrate victims will in the day of retribution , " call upon the mountains to cover them" from the wrath of an avenging people . Your hostile preparations are unnecessary ; there will not be any more such scenes as 1798 presented . We will have no wholesale murder—no " walking gallows . " or patriots suspended by the neck on Bloody Bridge , with the barbarous inscription of " Durham Mustard" attached to their persons as a proof of the sanguinary dispositions of a regiment bearing the unenviable name of the " Durham Militia . " We will have no more burning 3 , rapes , and brutalities , nor confiscations of property to enrick the despoilers 2 < o , no , ay Lord Duke , the " schoolmaster has been abroad , " and even the children of the humblest

      peasant are houriy acquiring a knowledge of the evik of the past and the remedies for the future ; and I would ? ay to jour Grace , you ought , if no other i circumstance induce you , if the dictates of common j sense do not teach you , or shame for being an enemy to your country ' s freedom , make a merit of necessity , as formerly , and grant , with becoming grace , that j ju = $ concession which will not , cannot ba refused i when asked for , as the Irish will ask for it , and as 1 the people of England and Scotland will ask for it j at the same time . Your Grace must not be do- ; ceired . The people of the empire sympathise with t their Irish brethren , and forgetting minor differences will , to crush the common enemy , aid them in the hour of need , and complete the triumph of principle that , right shall achieve a victory over might , and I bury for e 7 tr beneath the weight of its own corrup- (

      lions the evils of misrule and class dominion . If ycur Giace will place the two grtat questions of Emancipation and Reform in j » xta-position with the Uiiion , there will be little doubt of the result of your Grace ' s reflections regarding the Repeal agitation Let me , thtrelore , while it is yet time , intreat your Grace to consider that your efforts to suppress the spirit of liberty in Ireland , and through her to rivet the chains of English slavery , are as fruitless and unavailing as for your single arm to catch the moon and hurl it at their heads , and your hostile dispositions as unnecessary as Ihelaxd ' s claim to libebtt 15 JUST . I am , my Lord , Your Grace ' s obedient servant , And one of your persecuted but unconquerable countrymen , Vesitas .

      REPEAL OF THE UNION .

      By reference to our present Number , the reader may learn the position of the respective belligerents , aDd will , doubtJess , without any suggestion of our ' s , draw his own conclusions as to the probable issue of the struggle . It is our duty , however , as journalists , cot ociy to register our own opinion , but to collate for our readers all those matters and facts which are likely to operate upon the minds of the respective parties . Since we last wrote upon

      this snbject , then , we have had an opportunity of witnessing the amount of respect with which the English Minister ' s declaration of war was received in the Irish camp . We have also the answer given by tne Ministers of Peace to the Minister at War . We have furthermore the declaration and registered vows of the subalterns of tha moral army of Irishmen in an ' wer to the anticipations of the local blood-tuckers . ' "We are united , " says the Lord Bishop of Ardagh —" we are resolved , " says the paetor of Mallow — " we are determined , " respond the Irish people .

      Oar next and greatest consideration then is , how , and in what manner , this struggle is to proceed and terminate . Heretofore the publio mind was led to believe , and vre were amongst those who gave credence to the assertion , that the question of Repeal was one which may be used according to the caprice of Mr . O'Co > " > "ell himself ; and , so long as that notion prevailed , the discussion and consideration of the question was likely to be confined within very narrow limits , and , when dangerous , to be crushed without exciting any considerable amount of sympathy for the sufferers . It would seem however—and with pleasure we perform this

      act of justice—that Mr . 0 Conxbll , supposing that all Irish redress was centred in the restoration of a Parliament , lent [ a willing assistance towards the completion of those measures which , in their workings , he was aware would be delusive and unpopular . The end being great and glorious—being , in fact , the restoration of bis country , and the destruction of the power of that band of surpliced rufians by whom her ruin was ensured , justify the means—an apology which Churchmen use for the success of the worst of undertakings when accomplished by the most diabolical means , and which ice are justified in using when the end 13 glorious , and the means justifiable .

      We learn , however , from the Freeman ' s Journal , that the question is now a national question—one which may be made in Mr . O'Conmell's hands the " Aaron ' s rod , " swallowing up all others ; but which can no longer be made the instrnment of extracting boons for the few as a means of satisfying the many . We are aware that the recent declaration of Mr . O'Cox . nell as to the means still at the disposal of Government for the suppression of the agitation has caused much doubt and misgiving ; and we shall scarcely be suspected of too much confidence in Daniel ; bnt , weighing the

      matter as a whole , we do not feel ourselves justified in coming to the conclusion , that the clauses of that speech to which exception has been taken , offered fair ground for impeachment of his sincerity . Mr . i O'Cosxell describes the multiplicity of circumstances , each of which in its individual character , swells the nation ' s voice , and becomes a whole in the national demand . " One aection of Repealers , "; says be , " may be taken from the agitation by such concessions , and another portion by the concession

      of something else ; and thus , by redressing grievances , I may be thereby reduced from a giant ' s strength to a dwarfish weakness . " In none of these concessions , however , which , if granted to the full , do we recognise one single boon for the people . The ; would be but sops to sections whieh , when satisfied , would again retur ^ to the ranks of domestic faction , and whose alliance must be preserved at an expence too great even for a strong Government . The natural inference , therefore , which we draw from this recent declaration of Mr . O'Coskell when coupled with the mote

      recent avowal of tha Catholic Hisxachy of Ireland made through one of the most influential of their body—the avowal of the Rev . Mr . Collins , together with the attestation of the Freeman ' s Journal , is that Mr . O'Co . nnell used it as ameass of delineating to the lrisr ; mind the multiplicity of "wrong ? vmjer Tv ' r .. v ; h tfcc nation suffered , and tho impossibility of

      Untitled Article

      the English Legislature conceding any snch measures of relief as would be satisfaotory to the Beveral sections he described , and at the same time palatable to tho " imperium in imperio , " the intolerant rampaat State Church faction . His meaning , as wo take it , may be rendered thus : —Yon see the multiplicity of our wrongs , can you redress them , and ensure us against their recurrence" ? —or are you willing to place us in a situation in which we may do so 1 or

      are you prepared to set the hazard upon a single cast by attacking us in our fastnesses , by forcing us into a physical resistance , and thus once more raise the bloody standard , which cau only be struck by the accomplishment of our country ' s freedom , and whioh you have yet the opportunity to avoid by a timely concession to that national demand , which not all the powers at your disposal can long successfully resist I "

      One of the greatest difficulties that the Repeal party will have to contend against in England , is the ignorance of the English press upon the general question . It will be difficult without the assistance of that power to convey tho fact to the minds o ? the English middle olassses , that a great portion of their burdens are occasioned by this expensive Union . It may take some time to convince the English working classes that in conse * quence of this very Union , the Irish emigrants banished from their own country , are not only competitors in tho English labour market—that

      th « y are recipients of between twenty millions and thirty millions a year—but that they constitute a large reserve for the English masters to fall back upon . w 0 1 " says one sapient writer , " capital will never flow into that country so long as agitation is permitted . " " 0 . '" says another , and we confess with more plausibility , " what , repeal the only bond of strength you have , when your greatest curse is domeetio discord ! " In answer to the first observation , we reply that the Union has so paralysed industry and abstracted capital ; that the domestic tyrants have so abandoned their trust , leaving their

      duties to be performed by land-sharks and lawsharks ; that penury , want of tenure , want of law , want of security—and not agitation—forbids the capitalist to venture upon speculation . Talk of danger , indeed , when we find that the heat of the torrid , and cold of the frigid zone—that dread of raging civil war—the distance of country and the disadvantages of clime are no barriers to tho English speculator . Moreover , has Ireland never been tranquil ! and have her peaceful invitations never been accepted by the English capitalist x . Has any Government , the most paternal and fostering , tried these means of preserving peace and upholding dominion , the paltry

      exercise of which is looked upon as a palliative and last resource , instead of being relied upon as a means for preserving power ! Tho only capital which can be successfully expended in Ireland is the capital of Irish labour expended upon Irith resources ; but this ever has been and ever will be rendered insecure and abortive so long as Government . patronage and Church preferment remain more lucrativo than landed property let at rack rent , and abused for tho purpose of forging votes , by which Government Patronage may be upheld , and which can only be destroyed by restoring to Ireland that protection which will consist in an honest emulation to be the first in moral example , domestic culture , and national improvement .

      As to the second objection , and which appeared in an article in last Sunday's Dispatch , and which we are willing to admit , is the most powerful that has as yet appeared in opposition to the Irish claimswe an&wer thus—the domestic disunion by which Ireland is afflicted , is a consequence of that Legislative bond by which the wealthy classes of both countries , and especially the united Churches , are bound—that tho object of tho English Minister , and of the English oligarchy has ever been to uphold imperial unity by domestic disunion , whereas the overpowering weight of popular opinion brought immediately to bear upon the acts of a domestic Legislature , would have the instantaneous effect of paralizing the arm

      of faction and of creating a strong bond of union as the only means by which this power could be preserved and profitably u ^ ed . We are aware that all the objects likely to bo achieved by a Repeal of the Union are sot calculated to wed a plundering aristocracy to the measure , any more than tho Reform Bill , which threatened destruction to tho Tory party , was calculated to win the affection of that body . So it ever hris been , and so it ever will be . A great organic change or administrative improvement , be the anticipated results ever so beneficial , will have their 8 upporter 3 and their opponents—those who support expecting some advantage—those who oppose expecting Bome disadvantage .

      Upon the Repeal of the Union , however , we put a very different construction , because we defy any man of common sense to point out ono single grievance which it would be likely to destroy , and which should continue—while furthermore we contend , that by that measure alone , that is by the Repeal of the Union , can the connexion between the two countries by possibility continue to exist , while under its influence all the grosser prejudices of

      a domineering faction would be placed in abeyance , and give way to the exercise of calm reflection and honest conviction . However the struggle may terminate , reason and justice point out our course , and the course of the people . Whether the invaders tender the olive branch , and thereby save all the horrors of a civil war , or whether tho natives , assailed in their peaceful camp , are compelled to return the charge , our cry shall be " Union and victory—peace and courage . "

      We Bay to the Irish , forget not the all-absorbing interests that are at stake . Remember that you are Irishmen I—that Ireland is your country , given to you by your God , with his command that you "honour your father and your mother , that your days may be long in the land which he has given you . " We say to Englishmen , there is a oneness , an identity of interests between us , the Chartists of England , and the serfs of Ireland ; and we should be guilty of an abandonment of duty , of gross inconsistency , were we not to aid them in their struggle foT freedom . Prt-judice has kept thousands of our Irish brethren aloof from us ; but let us not practice a conduct towards them which we pronounced unjust when evinced towards us .

      O Cornell is now at the head of the brave Repealers ; he has unquestionably taken a bold stand , and we must not be idle because of his past history ; but we ought , and must , strive to remove every stumbling-block that may impede the onward progress of the chariot cf Democracy . We know that many still suspect the sincerity of O'Connell ; and we shall not at present touch upon tho ground whereon such suspicion is founded . We

      are willing to think better of him , and to believe that he U in earnest ; that ho does , at all events , mean the thing now ; we put the best constructions upon every man's acts and explanations of which they are susceptible , and we see ho reason why Mr . O'Co . nnell should form an exception to the rule . But , even if there were the best grounds for distrusting Dan , we entreat all lovers of the cause to bear in mind the fact that

      THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND ARE DETERMINED ; they are not joking about it , * they are seriously bent apon repeal : they hare O'Gon . vell at their head with his own consent ; we are in ditty bound TO ASSIST THEM IN THE GOOD FIGHT \ AND IRELAND AND ENGLAND COMBINED WILL

      MAKE DANIEL KEEP HIS POST . Keep him at the head , aud he cannot retreat , save into the arras © f a people who , at all times , know how to ripay a traitor . We implorff , therefore , of aT ! Chariists to suspend their suspicions , and give O'Connell aud Ireland what tbey are each entitled to—the former a fair trial , and the latter their coriiul L-.-lp and eo-operation .

      THE "DOGBERRIES "; COMPLETE SUFFRAGE ; AND NATIONAL EDUCATION . In our Parliamentary notices , our readers will find a report of Mr ^ DuscoMUE ' s motion for enquiry into tho oonduot of the gang of insolent Whig Squires and Parsons who defile tho " Justice Hall " of Cheshire , and their myrmidon Buhgess , of Knutsford hell-hole ; of Mr , Shabman Crawford ' s motion for a Bill for the better representation of the people , and of Mr , Roebuck's motion on the subject of National Education . These are all important subjects , and we had written an article on each , but find that the length at which we give the Irish

      Repeal movements leaves us no space for their insertion . Our readers will peruse the speeches on the respective motions of Mr . Duncombe and Mr . Crawford with great interest : the former especially will furnish to them yet ono more proof , in addition to tho countless list already chronicled , of the very spirit and embody men t of middle class sympathy , and Whig preference for democracy ; yet another proof that tho Charter must be had—the people must have power to appoint their own magistrates , and to control as well a » make the laws for their own gbyernmep t—before they can find a ghost of a shadow of justice . The insolence of those Cheshire Whig Dogberries is really unique .

Caroline Maria Williams— We admire our fair friend ' s object in the communication she has sent us , and the honest zeal with which she seeks it ; but we fear that the mind of the Chartist public is not disposed to appreciate it . The Demonstration Defaulters . —Mr . Itijffey Ridley writes in reply to Mdsrs . Ca . tor and Ford , insisting that they , and not the parties to whom they may have sold ticketsy are responsible for the val . e of the tickets . He sends also a

      balancesheet , from ivhich it seems that i \ fr . Ford is tndebled to the amount of 1 \ s- Gd . We really must have no more of this unpleasant personality . A Constant Reader and Chartist , Edinburgh , should have given us his name . Ma . John P epper writes to say , that on the SQth of April , while preaching in the open air , at Hiden Hill , he was subjected to gross annoyance and insult from a policeman , who encouraged some blackguard fellows to disturb the congregation , by talking and jabbering , saying that they had asmuch right io talk as he had . Ultimately they were obliged to give up the meeting . A nolher meeting was held subsequently in the yard of a good man , named Morris , who , himself standing

      at the gate , kept out the police and then myrmidons , and so enabled the Chartists to hold their meeting peaceably . Morris was afterwards severely bullied and threatened by some puppy icho called himself " Mr . Cook , the magistrate . " The Chartists of Tiverton have had printed very handsomely , in green and red letters , Mr . O'Higgins ' s collection of "legal and ether opinions on Chartism , " frim the Star of A pril 22 nd . They suggest a like course to all Chartist bodies . BuibTOL Chartists . — We have not room for their addras . They will see that we have announced their purposed delegate meeting .

      James Hirst , Hevwood . —Mr . Cleave ' s lists are always inserted as they reach us . Thomas Starkey of Stoke-upon-Tbent , uishes us to stale his claims on the Chartist public for assistance . He was arrested in September last ; bail was refused fo- him ; he was tried in October last and acquitted ; his defence cost him £ 50 out of hU own pocket ; and he is , besides this , minus 35 s . as Chartist Treasurer . Thomas Smith , Liverpool . —His letter is received . If he will oblige Us with his address , he shall hear Jrom ms privately . Charles Thorp , Birmingham . — We really cannot answer the question which he has propounded to us : we have no data on which to rely .

      CARLISLE . —Unfeeling and Unprincipled Conduct on the Part of tiie Board of Guardians cf the Carlisle Union . —About the time that the Mendicity Office was established in Carlisle , it was agreed on the part of the members of the Board , that two rooms should be taken by the society , for the purpose of lodging vagrants passing through tho town , and that the funds formerly given to the public office , for temporary relief to vagrants , should be placed in the hands of the Society ; and that its officer should give such relief as the various cases coming under his notice might require , publishing , in the Carlisle newspapers weekly the number of cases . These conditions were , we believe , faithfully fulfilled . Independent ,

      however , of these arrangements , the said officer was appointed by a benevolent gentleman in the neighbourhood , who gives some hundreds 3 year io the poor residing in the town and neighbourhood ; and the officer , in the course of his inquiries as to proper objects of charity , has detected many cases of gross neglect of duty on the part of the relieving officers appointed by the Board . Of these cases of neglect he very properly complained , which appears-to have given great effnee to the Chairman of the Board , who denominated such conduct as a very unjustifiable interference on the part of the said officer . We eonceive it to be the bounden duty of any trember of the Board of Guardians , and more especially the Chairman of that Board , to make a rigid and

      searching inquiry into all cases of alleged neglect of duty on the part of any of its officers , for they are placed there for that particular purpose , and ought to be the real guardians of the poor and destitute , as well as the protectors of the ratepayers against any imposition or fraud . In consequence of this praiseworthy vigilance on the part of the 'mendicity officer , the Board of Guardians actually refused to fulfil the terms of their contract ; though they had made one payment previously , and made no objections to the contract continuing . On his presenting his bill to the Board , last week , for lodging and temporary relief to

      tramps , he was , to his astonishment , told that nothing would be allowed for food . The officer remonstrated with the board on the injustice of such conduct , and reminded them of the contrast they had entered into , and on the due fulfilment of which ho had fully calculated , otherwise he would not have afforded the temporary relief which he had done to tramps and sick persons ; moreover said he , ( addressing himself to tho chairman , ) " you have given orders , in your capacity of Mayor of the town , to Mr . Graham , the Superintendent of Police , to apprehend all persons found begging on the streets , so that poor tramps must either starve quietly , or be sent to the tread-mill . "

      " Hard is the fate of the infirm and poor . " This appeal , however , had no effect on the flinty hearts of the members of the board , who would not pay this item in the account , so that tbe expense of temporary relief to tramps and sick persons , for the last six months , must be defrayed either by the Mendicity Socioty or its officer . On referring to the report of this Booiety , which is just published , we find that the number of poor persona relieved during the past year is 2 , 772 ; of whom were supplied with food and lodging , 1 , 785 ; with food only , 987 . The whole ot the above ( with the exception of about 400 residents in the town , who have been relieved on some immediate emergency , ) have been passed through the town immediately on being relieved , or , if supplied with lodging , early oa the following morning , and thus prevented from becoming an annoyance to the inhabitants . Let us for a moment glance at the expense of relieving this immense number of persons .

      By relief to vagrants £ 26 7 7 £ By rent of room for ditto ... 3 14 3 By fitting up ditto 2 10 0 £ 32 11 10 . } Or little more than 2 jf d per head ! Surely the most rigid economist would be perfectly satisfied with such management ¦ ' Moreover , the comfort thus afforded to the weary and destitute tramps is really ^ reat , for it is a melancholy fact , that thousands of decent working men are driven from their homes for want of employment , and to whom such relief , slight thought it be , is really a boon : they cannot

      want , and to beg are ashamed . We are not much surprised at the unprincipled and unfeeling conduct of the Board of Guardians , for we have , on a former occasion , exposed their gros 3 neglect" of duty , in allowing one of their relieving officers to hold three distinct situations , contrary to the express instructions of the Poor Law Commissioners , and to tbe evident neglect of the poor and destitute , whom he has been appointed to relieve . As many of the worst ca 3 es of neglect on the part of the relieving officers are about to be exposed , we shall in all probability return to the subject .

      Lord Ashley . —This benevolent and philanthropic nobleman has been kind enough to transmit the sum of one pound ( through Mr . Mark Crabtree ) to Richard Pilling , of Ashton-under-Lyne . ' The gift was entirely voluntary on the part of his Lordship , no solicitation having been made to him whatever . The letter bearing the post office order states that Lord Ashley was exceedingly well pleased with the speech which was delivered by Mr . Pilling at Lancaster . At the conclusion of a trial in Dublin last week , " the Talacre Case , " the following colloquy took place between the judge and jury : — "After a short consultation the jury returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant . Judge Cramp ton—You cannot being in that verdict . —Foreman—It is fully o . ur

      opinion—wo are convinced the plaintiff is not entitled to a verdict . Judge Crampton—You must return . Tho Jury again retired , and came again into the court three or four times to ask whether it was not possible for them to find for the defendant . At longth Judge Crampton got warm on the subject , and told the gentlemen of the jury that it was not only against the law , but against their oaths to give a verdict for the defendant . The jury again adjourned to their room , and at last , with much reluctance , and a protest that it did not . embody their seutiments , handed in a verdict for the plaintiff . Unequivocal expressions of disapprobation were displayed by the audience at the conduct of the judge . Each juror as he retired from the box , bowed to his Lopdship , and said , ' My Lord , it is not my verdict . "'

      THE CHESHIRE MAGISTRATES , SIR JAS . GRAHAM , AND THE CHAPLAIN OF KNUTSFORD GAOL . Knutsford , Monday afternoon . The general intermediate session for the county of Chester was held this morning at the Court House , Knutsford , before Trafford Trafford , Esq ., feiairmaa . and about twenty magistrates ; After the learned chairman had delivered his charge to the grand jury , the magistrates retired to their private room , when the chairman said he had received a letter from Sir James Graham , the Secretary of State for the Home Department , which he would read to the magistrates .

      Mr . Potis , the clerk of the peace , theu read the following letter : — "Whitehall , May 4 , 1843 . " SrK , ^—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 2 lsfc ult ., enclosing a report of the decision of the justices assembled at the last general Quarter Sessions for tho county of Chester , on the proved misconduct of the keeper of the goal at Knutsfoid . It is a matter of . much concern to ma that the magistrates of the county have determined

      to retain in tho offioa of keeper of tha gaol one wao has been proved to have so misconducted himself . The magistrates are of opinion upon the case to which I more especially called their attention ( 1 refer to the oase in which the keeper persisted in inflicting corporal puniBhmont upon a prisoner alter the interposition of the assistant surgeon , and his desisting to forbear ) that the reprimand of the visiting justices wa 3 sufficient punishment . It appears to mo that such misconduct , as soon as made known to the justices in Quarter Sessions , should have been punished by immediate dismissal . ot

      " The other charges proved against the keeper , offence 3 committed by him subsequent to thatgreater offence whioh I have just mehtioned , are considered by the Magistrates as not of much importance , and not sufficient to deprive him of their confidence . Yet it is clearly proved—and this proof was mtaa hands of the Magistrates—that these offences , many in number and of various kinds , wore in violation ot the prison regulations , in violation also of provisions of Acts of Parliament , and auch as wooia have subjected the keeper to indictments for misdemeanour . _ .

      "The responsibility of these proceedings of tne General Quarter Sessions is upon those Magistrates who recommmended and adopted such a decision , but I feoi it to ba a duty to declare my opinion , tna * it is a decision not unlikely to lead to evil consequences , detrimental to the maintenanceof good order in prisons , and calculated ta lessen tbe confidence which Parliament has been disposed to imW " Magistrates in the euperintendence and regulation of gaols . " I have the honour to be , & « -i H J . R . G . GjuHam . " Trafford Trafford , Esq ., Chairman of Quarter Sessions , Knutsford . " The letter having been read , there was a general silence of a few momenta amongst the magistrates . Oae gentleman suggested that no notice should m taken of the letter

      . ... The Chaibman said that the first question wWCfl he would put to the magistrates was , whether we letter deserved any answer at all ? . . Mr . Corbett said it was very strange that CaP- * £ Williams should have found fault with the governor now , a ? , if he recollected right , the inspector flMi in 18 H , made a very favourable report respects Mr . Burgess . He wished to know what were we complaints against the governor ? _ Mr . Potts said that the principal offence w « whipping a boy named Traimer . Mr . Potts tnen read , by direction of the Chairman , the rep ly of we Court to the report of Inspector Williams oa toe state of Knutsford gaol and house of correction , w whioh the preceding letter from the Home secretary might be considered as a rejoinder . had

      Mr . Shalcross Jackson said that he new heard the governor charged with inhumanity beiorei but understood that he was exceedingly kind . Mr . Cokbett : I should make no reply to tna » letter . ., 1 Mr . Jacksok : It is our business , and we s « aiJ «• in this matter as we think proper . The Chaibman : I have laid the letter before foji because it is addressed to me as chairman 01 tj » Q larter Sessions . Is it the general opinion ot w " magistrates that no notice shall be t 3 ken ot ifllD letter 1 , , j It was then suggested that Mr . Burgess shoa « j make an affidavit respecting the matters coaipiaino " of in the report of the inspector . After a short conversation , in which M ° ss' ? Townsend , France , and others took part , ana i « tho course of which the magistrates tcenera » y

      pressed their eonfidence in Mr . Buries * , The Chaiuman suggested that ho (; hc rhsirmanj had better aokii > n : e' 1 » e the rf jo ; j > t ot tue / 1 . ' ; r - . No motion was , however , madron rh-. * . ^• j ¦ ' - ' ' * the mattertbni v . rmiuated .
