      Sib—Smee I last addressed you , the Grand Jury taveTeturned a True Bill against you and other parties charged -with the commission of those undefinable crimes ealled " sedition , "—which means everything that the « risting Government chooses to allege , as being likely to weaken their political Influence j and conspiracy /* ihe meaning of which I hare hetbt heard so well defined as by * a Lineage iand-loom-weaver , who , upon being asked the neaning of conspiracy , replied , if yon and ' any body « 3 sa agree to do anything-that I don ' t like I call that conspiracy . '

      In ay former letter J iold yon that . the Governaenl would . not allow either you or the country to reap a triumph from an acqaittaL And in many former articlesihat I have "written upon the subject , I told yon that yon would find it impossible to separate joar own responsibility from the acts of other parties contending for the same measures , iowerer yon and they might differ in your course of action . I mention that circumstance here for the purpose of commenting upon the following paragraph , "which appears in your address of the 11 th of ihi 3 month , to the people of Ireland . That paragraph runs thus : —

      a But—attend to me—if there be during the trials the slightest outbreak of violence in any parish , it will be my duty immediately to abandon the Repeal cause , and to forsake a people whe at such a critical period as the present , would not follow the advice I so earnestly giro them . " Ifow , Sir , that won't do . Depend up © n it , it will not What , Sir , " to forsake a people , if there be the slightest outbreak of-violence in a single parish . "

      Are you not perfectly aware that such an announcement is pre-eminently calculated to cause violence and outbreak , not in onej but in many parishes 1 and thai those -who hare the' power to purchase your desertion it so cheap a price , will not fail to famish yon with an excuse ? I mo < rt cordially join with you in desiring that unbroken peace may continue to reign ; because I feel convinced that in peace alone , calm discussion can be entertained , and from discussion alone wholesome legislation can

      spring . In my last letter I endeavoured to set you right , or rather to set the conntry right , upon two charges that you bare thought proper to bring against the Chartist body ; and I shall now mention a third . In 1833 you declared" it to be impossible to carry a Bepeal of the "Union nntll lie English people had co-operated with the Irish upon that subject ; and that , to ensure such co-operation , yon would make a tour of England . I confess to you that up to that period I was strongly imbued with the national

      prejudice , and that I had not then learned to discriminate between the English people and the English oligarchy . Finding that you considered such a -Step necessary , and that for some years you neglected the performance of this promised dnty , I , iaving lost all my former prejudices , set about the troxk of conciliation ; and I am bold to assert that , fox the Jast eight years , I have done more than all the writers and orators that ever preceded me , to destroy all those anti-Irish prejudices which existed in the minds of the English people . "

      ion snst-hsTe been cognizant of this fact ; and jet your conduct during the recent agitation must lead every rational man to the conclusion , that . you not only desired to perpetuate disunion between the people of the two countries , but that you actually paraded your desire to do so , for the purpose of enlisting the sympathies , and of insuring the confidence of the middling classes , whom you know to be opposed to the interest of the rrorkiug people . Such course led me , and I think naturally , to the

      conclusion , that you courted individual strength , and sough t ) for personal impunity , by a sacrifice of the interests ; of the people of both countries . I speak the more freely upon ihose bygone subjects , in consequence of the Srmnes 3 of your present position . They are now matters irorsh referring to , because Irel&na has proved £ h » t she baa a mind . And is is the duty of her friends to inspire that mind with a thorough ' confidence in those parties , upon whose exertion the Irish people must rely , for the accomplishment of '

      justice . During the recent agitation you have attached . great importance to the conversion of insignificant ; individuals ; while you haTs heaped slander npon those whose co-operation yon professed a desire to court . Yon appealed to the English people against Tory domination : they answered your appeal from nearly every town in England and Scotland . Ycu knew that they had dons so ; and yet from this , national response yon select the egotistical effusions ¦ ' of two powerless individuals , for extensive comment , thereby endeavouring to convince the Irish people , that there w& 3 no orc&nizad party in England eapa-\ 11 M i . I >»* 1 H BT 2 LS HiJ 1 * X ' k" ** - x" r <» gi < mu t _** j *<* -

      , ble of giving any strength or support to tne-Hepeal -cause . You knew , as well as I know , that nearly every town in England had held numerous meetings ' for the purpose , not only of expressing sympathy , but of co-operating with the Irish people , ia their demand for a Hepeal of the Union . And yet < notwithstanding yonr avowal of the necessity of snch co-operation , you pass over in silence , ot afiect to ; treat with eantejapt , the expression of national will ; while yon treat the addresses of William Lovett and 1 -Joseph Sturge , neither ofwhompo 3 ses 3 one particle . of public confidence , with seriousness , if not with . respect . i

      Frem the commencement of the agitation the Northern Star newspaper has teemed with the ex- ' preEsion of English opinion upon the snbject of Repeal ; all approving of the principle and acqaiesiag in the propriety of supporting their Irish brethren . At ^ Newcastle , a resolution strongly expressive of English feeling was passed at the Iarge 3 t ih-door \ meeting ever convened in that town . A copy of ; that resolution , together with an abstract of the proceedings , was forwarded by Mr . Home , a most ; respectable man , for insertion in the Nation newspaper ; and short reports of the proceedings of ; several large meetings , together with resolutions , were transmitted to the Irish pres 3 ; " and not a , single one , has been noticed by any portion of that

      press . . j Thus , Sir , I think that I have clearly rebutted your charge of English indifference , and that if criminality exists anywhere it is with you and the : Irish press , which though cognizant of the fact , yet withheld it from publication for private purposes . If the same pains had been taken to secure the co-operation of the English working-people that have been taken to wheedle over a set of worthless , bigotted , pettifogging , orange Irish Tascals , ihetwo countries won ! d have long since pronounced for a foil measure of justice , in terms which their taskmasters must have obeyed . And of thiB fact you must have been aware .

      Therefore , Sir , the charges which 1 in turn bring against you , in connection with the Repeal cause , are of a precisely similar nature to those , which I urge against the English Free-Traders . You know the power which can alone carry Repeal , but you fear that such an accession would demand a fuller measure of justice , than the middle classes are desirous or willing to confer npon the working people . So it i 3 precisely with the English Free Traders ; they prefer grubbing amongst the electoral l > ody for sectional support , to gaining the co-operation of the working classes , lest the latter body should claim political equality , as their share of the national triumphJ

      Thus , Sir , we have discovered that for both purposes our co-operation is merely songht , as a means of ensuring a triumph to our oppressors . It has often struck me , Sir , as a very curious circumstance that , while yoa abuse the Chartist body , all of whom are * Repealers , yon should still continue to lavish praise and ecomiums upon the English Free Traders , who are one and all anti-Repealers . You abuse Feargus O'Connor , who has been a consistent Re--pealer—while you eulogise Mr . Cobden , and designate iim as a pupil of your own—who has " thanked God that he was not bsrn in a Catholio country , " and who has attempted to stamp npon the Irish Catholics , the crime of hiring demoralised the "Rng ? j «! h people .

      My object in addressing you is . to point out the errors that you have committed , in the hope of convincing yon and the world , that however you may for a season successfully delude the Irish people with regard to English ' feeling and Chartist tactics , that , nevertheless , hind now thirEting for know-

      ledge , and having burst from all those prejudices by -which it has been long trammelled , will drink at the source , and be no longer satisfied with merely lapping the skim from the surface . Those superficial ideas which floated fantastically upon the imagination of enthusiasts will no longer satisfy that craving after" knowledge to which vast improvements of latter years has led . The manner in which the English Chartists now sympathise with you and your persecuted brethren , must put those Irishmen to the blush who designated me as a convicted libeller , and the Chartist prisoners , as offenders who had been mildly dealt with by the Whig administrators of the lavr , or rather by the administrators cf Whig law . Another charge which you have brought against the Chartist body : is , that they

      were Tory Chartists ; vrbereas you well knew that the principal cause of their hatred to the Whigs , was because they did not destroy Toryism and for ever , while it was in their power to do so . Yon well knew that not & single Chartist supported the Tories from a love of Tory principles ; bnt that , on the contrary , they opposed the Whigs because the Whigs preferred conciliating Tory prejudices to relyng upon popular support for existence . This , Sir , is the reck upon which the Melbourne Administration was wrecked . With him , poor easy soul , the question was indeed a knife and fork one ; and as long as you conld secure to him hi 3 place at the Royal Board , by the subserviency of the most servile place-hunting title-seeking crew that ever disgraced the House oi CommonB , he was indifferent about the popular will .

      Wo claim the merit of having destroyed the Whigs , while in truth , Sir , the triumph really belong 3 to you . Their reign was one of treachery falsehood , hypocrisy , cruelty , deceit , paisataiioa , fraud , weakness , cowardice , and bloodshed ; whereas , had they relied upon popular support , instead of upon Irish subserviency , I doubt much that the question of Democracy wonld have attained its present eminence for yet many years to come . How forgiviDg , then , should you consider the English people , when , notwithstanding their thorough knowledge of all those facts , they are yet ready to foTgive aud forget , and still to throw round you the shield of protection , provided they find you making past errors beacons to warn you of the shoals , rather than lights to direct you in your future

      course . You mnst pardon me—you mnst indeed Sir—for speaking thus plainly to you . You have been a plain speakeT jo-oxself . Let me council jou then not to dream of abandoning the cause until you have achieved your object ; and above all do not attempt to create a weakness in the hope of furnishing » justification for desertion . The Irish people have religiously obeyed your every command ; while the English people have far surpassed your most sanguine expectation by forgiving the past , and resolving to co-operate with you for the fuinre . I gather thia resolnrion from the sentiments' that I hare

      heard cheered and expressed at several large meetings throughout England and Scotland . Upon my own part I can but speak for myself . Every man in England has a mind ; a mind that cannot be purchased , but may be won . Upon my co-operation as an individual you may fully calculate . I am the more aExion 3 to be clear npon this snbject in consequence of an announcement recently made by you , of Chartist support having been tendered to you , by one Galgin , or from a place called Galgin . I well recollect that when Chartism first began to shew itself in Loughrea , you assured your hearers that you had looked in vain to the map of Ireland for such a place ; and 1 may tell yon in return , that I have enquired in vaiu for such a man as Galgin , and looked in vain upon the Chartist map for such a place , and well yon knew it .

      Once more assuring yon that the present Administration will not allow Ireland to make a triumph of your acquittal , let me implore of you to put your house in order—to do something more than merely collecting tribute , or preparing for your defence , the latter of which I by no means recommend you to neglect ; but in the meantime be better prepared to meet the next Btep of the enemy than you were to meet the firat assault . Time runs on , Sir ; and one of the six months has elapsed ; and now your Billpromising Repeal , or your head upon the block , —is within five months of maturity . I cannot see any possible means of escape : there is a watchfulness

      abroad which will see to the prevention of any general excuse ; while any local , sectional , or parochial squabble will not furnish yon with such a one as will justify desertion . The awfulness of that responsibility which you have cast upon yourself , should now open your eyeB to your position ; while the stand recently made by all Ireland against compromise , should teach you that , ere loDg , the crisis must occur . Be prepared for it , and do not again be taken by surprise ; for , rely upon it , that ,

      sooner or later , the people who hare so nobly sustained jou will demand a settlement , in which the debtor and creditor account must be set forth with mercantile precision : and if a large amount of money is found npon one side , and a large amount of defeat upon the other , the disappointment will be great ; while vigilance and honesty will enable you to make a set-off of good deeds , which , however large the sum , will yet leave a balance in your favour . I am , Sir , F . EABGBS 0 'CONMJIi ,

      which , in justice to Mr . Hill , I have set forth his rejected letters , as well as the whole of his comment . Thia pamphlet is the same size as the Lancaster Trials , contains 32 . pages , and the price is fourpence ; aud upon it I shall make so further comment in the Northern Slar , than merely to announee my Borrow for being driven to the alternative , and to express my belief that every man who reads his , will come to the conclusion that it rendered mine indispen sable . : Having now disposed of the disagreeable portion of my subject , I have a word or two to Bay upon our present position . Notwithstanding the artful attempts of dissatisfied parties , to create disunion in

      our raukf , the several letters and communications that I receive from -various parts of the country confirm ma in the opinion that the Cba . ttists , as a body , were never more determined upon the question of re-organization than at the present moment . Many towns , even where I had enrolled a considerable number , have sent for a fresh supply of cards ; while similar applications have been made from many localities that never before joined in the movement . I have only then to ask all those who love liberty and hate oppression , to put their shoulders to the wheel for the next five months , in order that we may see the fruits of our labour in the maturity of public opinion . It is indispensable that

      we should avail ourselves of tbe services of such men as Leach , Doyle , Ross , West , Joues , Gammage , Mason , and others who have remained faithful teachers in the school of democracy . Those men have one and all closed the door of employment against themselves , while we stand peculiarly in want of their services . There is ample scope for their abilities- ^ -many places require their assistance , ana the question is , whether or no apathy on the part of the body shall deprive ua of their services . I would hold up Ireland as an example to the English people , and tell them that if they subscribed as much in a year as the Irish people subscribe in one week , the principles of Chartism would very speedily

      be placed in the ascendant . I trust , theu , that this appeal will be responded to from all parts of England , Scotland , and Wales , so that thoae officers who you have appointed to transact your business may be made capable of performing the duty efficiently . Let us then hope that a day will be set apart for a national tribute—not to individuals , but to the cause ; and that every man will put his shoulder to tbe wheel , to aid in the good work . I addressed a meeting last night , ( Tuesday ) , in Turuagain Lane ; and , though we were iutormed that Chartism was dead in London , yet I never in my life saw a finer or determined spirit manifested .

      Mr . Mantz , the Chairman , opened the proceedings by inviting discussion , and challenging my traducers to come forward ; and although there was a call at the close of the proceedings for Lovett , Parry , Benbow , and Watkins ; and although I declared myself ready to meet them , yet not one of those gentleman had the manliness to attend , although I gave them a general and timely invitation in my announcement of the meeting in last week ' s Star . At the close of the business , I enrolled one hundred members ; some of whom were Irish Repealers who had never before joined us , and one of whom previously to taking out his card , put the two following questions to me : —

      Mr . O'CouBor does my enrolment as a member of the Chartist Association impose upon me a pledge to have recourse to physical force ? and Secondly—Does it bind me to abstain from or take any particular course with regard to other questions and discussions I Having answered both of those questions to the satisfaction of the querist , ho took out his card . Now I consider those questions beiDg put by an Irish Repealer more than equal to the enrolment of a thousand English Chartists , and I give you my reasons why ; because it informs us for the first time , of the real reasons why the Irish Repealers have refused to join our ranks . Honest Rouse , the stonemason , who Btood by me when the Whigs

      would have assassinated me at Birmingham , -was still at my side , and I had the pleasure of shaking hands with very many of my old country friends who had been to London driven by machinery from various provincial towns . This is the manner in which machinery is affecting the metropolis ; it is driving men of all trades a ad callings as competitors to the London market . And while the system is thus oentralising poverty in the metropolis it is also centralising universal opinion , as those provincialists are amongst the very best of our supporters . To-night I go to Mile-end-road , where I expect to add largely to our numbers— 'and on Friday night to Tooley-street to hold a meeting in the house of one of the Irish Volunteers—as fine a

      fellow as ever lived . I need not trouble you at any greater length for the present , than once more to express a fervent hope that each will subscribe his mite to support the cause of all ; and further to inform you that I do not acknowledge any monies except those which are ient direcJL to myself . There was an error in one item recently published in the Northern Star—the three and sixpence from two friends for M'Douall received at Sunderl&nd , should have been two-and-Eixpence . It is of all things necessary that both you ujid I should be most minute and particular upon money matters . I am , your faithful and sincere friend , Feabgds O'Connor . ' London , Wednesday .

Longmaid strongly urged the necessity of [ every exertion being made by the meeting to make the intended visit of Mr . Clark as publio as possible , that he might be enabled to establish the cause on a firm and permanent foundation , for on those who were already Chartists depended the success of his mission . We Hope , after the visit of Mr . Clark , to be again enabled to employ a district lecturer , through the co-operation of the men of Camborue , Penzanoe , and other localities . Mr .

      S £ , AXN . —The Attempted Assassination of Nab-\ xb . z . —fhe Times Correspondent writes : — Madrid , Nov . 7 . In the haste of despatching my letter last night I was only able to state the fact of General Narvaez being fired at on his way from his lodgings in the Calle de la Luna to the Theatre del Circo , and his extraordinary escape from the shower of bullets aimed at him . It appears that he proceeded in his coach thilher about eight o ' clock , to be present at the representation of Gisefa , in which Guy Stephen performed before the Qaeen . On arriving at the Church of Forta-celi , the coach was fired at by two men , vfhoae balls took effect upon two Ayudantes , who accompanied the General . One , Commandante

      Baseti , who sat nearest the assassins , was mortally wounded in the forehead ; the other , Don Salvador do Castro , was also wounded ; though but slightly , in the forehead . Barseti fell on the breast of Narvaez , exclaiming " They have killed me !" The General immediately shouted to his frightened coachman " CorrearJ" ( Drive on rapidly . ) The man ; lashed his horses , and proceeded in safety through a continuous fire until he came in front of the guard posted in the convent of the Basilios , where Narvaez and his Ayudante alighted and took refuge , bearing with them the wounded Commandante , who was immediately sent to the nearest hospital . He received speedy medical aid , and during tbe night

      an operation was performed with the trephine ; but the ball had deeply entered the brain , and he died this morning . At the guard-house Narvaez prudently abandoned the coach , ( which on examination this morning was found pierced by twenty bullets , independent of those which entered by the windows , ) and sent ( word of what had happened to the Queen and ' her Ministers , who had attended her to the Circo , and in continuation visited the barrack of the Princesa Regiment , and afterwards others , putting the whole garrison under armd , and marching strong patrols through the streets . However , no further

      attempt was made against Isarvaez or any individual . The assassins having failed in their grand object , immediately dispersed , and no one presumed to questioD , ' stop , or follow them . They all were disguised , wrapped up in cloaks , to conceal their blunderbusses , and wore the ordinary velvet sugar-loaf hats , as if desirous to avoid exhibiting any signs which might betray them ae military men or disbanded National Guards , amongst both , or either of whom , Narvaez knows he has quite sufficient enemies to count upon , without being deceived into a search for the assassins amongst the class of quiet paisanos or civilians of Madrid .

      At nine o ' clock the General went to the theatre and showed himself , alive and unhurt , to the Queen and her Ministers , still wearing the coat , shirt , and gloves , stained with the blood of the slaughtered Commandante Baseti ! ( Your readers will please to recollect that a style of presentation not impossibfe in the Royal dress-circle at an opera in Spain ! and that Her Majesty " came out" lately at a wholesale exhibition of blood and butchery by the serious and well-considered vote of the Provisional Cabinet Council . ) " There are , a few words to be said in explanation of the possible motives of the assassins . Naryarz snot five sergeants and three privates since his triumphal entry into Madrid , for demanding the inconvenient fulfilment of his promise , given on the

      field of Torrojon de Ardoz , to a . dow them to go home in peace with their licencia absoluta . He also disarmed the National Militia of Madrid , the day after he marched his victorious troops into the city , in utter disregard : of the capitulation made with the citizens by General Aspiroz previous to his entry . To mark his contempt of all the vulgar notions of honour and good faith which tbe silly Nacionales ot the capital imagined he was swayed by , he accepted Aspiroz ' s invitation to a grand banquet given the same day in honour of their mutual triumph over the credulous citizens , and thus completely identified himself with the success of the ** atTatagem" by whioh Madrid v # as entered -without a struggle .

      Whilst the victorious Moderados were exulting over their ( vine at that feast , a company of the disarmed and outraged Nacionales were taking an oath "to quesada the four chiefs" amongst them who most excited their wrath . Narvaez was first on this list . Sarragossa . —In direct violation of the terms of the capitulation , General Concha has disarmed the milita . To accomplish this , he placed the whole of the troops of his division under arms , and

      declared firmly that such a measure was a violation of the articles of capitulation ; but Concha , who was himself present , said that the order had come from the provisional Government , and that he was ordered to see it executed . After some hesitation , the National Guards prepared to submit , and their arms and equipments were theu brought out and thrown together in a heap , in the court of the convent of ; M the Misericordia , " which was the place appointed for that purpose .

      UNITED STATES ^— Later Intelligence . — We have reoeived copies of the Williamsburg Democrat , Albany Atlas , and New York Freeman's Journal . We give the following extracts : — The Pbesidenct . —The Albany Atlas contains reports of a number of county conventious at all of which Mr . Van Buren was unanimously nominated as the democratic oaudidate for the presidency . The Elections . —The : W . Democrat says : — " The election news is favourable since our last . Pennsylvania comes out well , and will maintain the Democratic ascendancy ; Connecticut increases her majorities of last year , which swept the state with a new broom . But New Jersey—we most have a special notice of the defeat whioh the Whigs have experienced there . In that State property , and not men , possesses the elective franchise . A movement has for some time been going on through , the State

      to abolish this relic Of Royalty , and extend to every citizen his undoubted Tight to vote as we do in this state of New York . The Whigs-naturally and as a matter of course—oppose that right . Hence tbe New Orleans defeat which they have met with in New Jersey . Such also was the proximate cause of their recent defeat in Massaohnssetts . They h » d held possession of that State for a long number of years ; but when the Royal Charter question came up | ia Rhode Island they came out as a party against the principle of self government , and the people hurled theinfrom power at the very nexi election . Tnesefaots show that a large portion of the Whig party are in favour of equal justice . And yet they hang by-that party which are always on the side of noxty abuse , against every movement that is made to elevate the people and eite . ud their authority .

Louis , & 0 . &cJ Governor Penninglon had addressed a message tothe Legislature sf New Jersey , in which he repre sents the affairs of the state to be , in all important respects , in a prosperous condition . The Treasury

      is comparatively free from embarrassment , and its annual resources adequate to meet public demands . After congratulating the Legislature on the prospect of returning ] commercial prosperity , the Governor proceeds to ascribe the revival of industry and enterprise chiefly to the protecting legislation of the last Congress . The protecting system should , he says , be considered the settled policy of the country , never to be affected by the progress or results of any of the | struggles for place and power that might from time to time divide the people . He holds it to be ( the true policy of the country to raise the means for the support of Government by the imposition of duties on foreign commerce , and to divide among the ] . states ( their inheritance in the publio domain . i

      General Bertrand , in his travels through this country , is receiving a hearty welcome and the most respectful attention from all and every party . Texas ahd the | Oregon Territory . —There is a storm ahead in relation to the trying question of the annexation off Texas to the American Union . Many symptoms of a premonitory character have been sufficiently developed to lead to a conviction that the snbject will form a prominent topic in the next session ' of Congress . As a sample , the Charleston Mercury , Mr . Calhoun ' s organ , closes an article with these words : — " We are not in the confidence of Mr . Tyler , but there can be little doubt , we apprehend , that the ! President of the United States

      who effects ther annexation of Texas will [ acquire a renown in American history only inferior to ( hat of Washington or Jefferson , and compared with which all mere party honours put together would be mere dust in the balance . " On the other hand , Mr . John Quincey Adams , certainly tha most venerable , sad one of the most distinguished of American statesmen , has just made ; a great speech to his constituents at Dedham , Massachusetts , in which he opposes the annexation of Texas , and the institution of slavery , with even more than his wonted power and eloquence . He stated that it would be a leading- topic in the next session ; of Congress , and that he would oppose it with alt the vigour that God had given

      him ! What between Texas and the Oregon territory , a stormy time may certainly be looked for in December . WithJ reference to the latter subject , a T ) ler meeting was held a few days since at Cincinnati , in which , after resolving that the whole northwest coast , from latitude forty-two degrees to fiftyfour degrees , belongs of right to the United Stats , the following resolution was put aud carried unanimously : — I " Resolved—That we approve of the policy of President Tyler in relation to the just claim of the United States upon the Oregon territory , and we hereby pledge ourselves , if it shall become necessary , to maintain our right with the . blood and treasure of the nation .

Another was refused work because she would not take slop shirts at four cents a piece , and find the cotton and buttons . Several nad worked on flannel shirts , with binding round the neck for eight cents . Ten would be a good week's work—eighty cents—working from six till nine o ' clock . The number of females enrolled is about 1000 ; full 300 were present , and the president reported that the gum of sixty-three dollars had been contributed towards defraying the expenses of the society by numbers of individuals friendly to its object .

The Bradford ( Yt . ) Protector represents Comings as beloBging to a respectable family—that he is

      about thirty years of age ; and that about nine years ago he was married to Adeline Tenney , of Hanover , of a reputable name and family in that town . She was some time , about a year ago , found suspended by the neck to a bed post , and it was supposed she had committed suicide . Suspicion Was first raised from the accidental discovery of a letter which he had written to another woman by the name of Abbot . A former intimacy was known to exist ; the correspondence was watched , and was found to contain written admissions on the part of Comings that all had not been right | with his wife . It was for that murder be was convicted .

      l » EKt ) S . —Great Pedestrian Feat . —On Sunday last , at midnight , James Searle , of Leeds , concluded the Herculean task of walking 1000 miles in 1000 sneeessive boars , on the piece of road front ! the Shak .-spere Inn , Meadow-lane , to the Peacock I « n , Holbeck ; and in addition to this task he continued to walk until five o ' clock on Monday afternoon , when he had completed the distance of 1017 . miles in 1017 successive hours , together with sixty-three yards over and above each mile , amounting to thirty-five miles 1400 yards ; making a sum total of 1052 miles 1400 yards , a task hitherto unperformed , we believe , by any pedestrian in the world . Some doubts have been expressed as to the feat hav-| ing been duly performed ; but the fact thai considerable bets were depending upon the issue ; two persons were always in attendance on . him , night

      and day ; and that large numbers of people assembled to witness his arrival and departure from the Shakspere Inn , Meadow-lane , are sufficient , we think , to prove that those doubts are quite "anfouaded . Indeed , we have it attested on undoubted authority that the task as stated , has been accomplished , and that Searle is open to undertake it again . On Tilesday he was " chaired" through the town accompanied by a large number of persons and a band of music . The most remarkable trait in this feat , is tbe fact that the man , notwithstanding all the fatigue and loss of rest which he must have undergone , has gained both strength and weight during the performance of his feat . If we are to credit his own statement , and it is borne out by others who have had ample opportunities : of knowing , he has left off 9 lbs . heavier than he was when he began . It is said that bets to a heavy amount have been pending the result .

      HUDDBRSFIEiD—Fire—On Tuesday morning a fire of a most alarming character broke oat in the shop of Mr . Liddell , grocer , in New-street ; the main street of the town . The origin , of it is thus accounted for . There was a fire-place in the shop , behind the counter ; and in it a fire was kindled at the usual time , having been " laid" with deal chips . When the light had been applied , the party who bad kindled it stepped into the kitohen to wash his hands ; and on his return to the shop found a fife raging beneath the counter . He tried to extinguish it ; but unfortunately these being no water at hand he was unsuccessful . The alarm was given , and the fire engines sent for ; two of them weise promptly oa the spot : one belonging to the Leeds-and Yorkshire

      Insurance Company , and the other belonging te > Mr . Joseph Kay , who re 3 ided the very nexfc door to- Mr . Liddell . This engine had to be fetched from "ffolly-Hall , " which was accomplished with great expedition : and it was speedily set to work . Water wrs plentiful from the plugs in the street ; and ia a short time the flames were subdued . It was fortunate that the engines were got to work at the moment they were : five ainutes more , and the building vroald have been beyond the power to save . As it was , the shop fixtures are all destroyed ; with nearly the whole of the stock ; and . the fire was rapidly mounting upwards . The great volume of water thrown on it by the engines , and by * "hose" from

      one of the pluga- direct , saved the budding , and tbe furniture in the upper room . Of course the latter sustained muoh . injury from the swing , torrent . The spirit evinced by the neighbours and the assembly generally was praiseworthy in the extreme . Every e sexiion was used to quench the flames . The con * duct of Air . Jonathan Leach , the chief constable was most active and jadioious . He guided one of the jets , and was the first to enter with it into the burning building . We have heard that Mr . Liddell was insured ; but not we fear to the extent of his loss . It was also fortunate that the fire occurred in the daytime . Had it been at night , and a little wind , the destruction of property might have been immense .

      TO THE WORKING CLASSES . Mi Beloved Fkibsds , —Every man who looks to passing events must come to the conclusion , that the struggle is approaching between right and might . The state of Ireland , with rents reduced to the Tariff standard , religious dissensions , and centralization of power ; the state of South Wales , with increasing poverty and taxation , are co-existing circumstances which -will require other machinery than that which has worked the old system to work them harmosiotiEjy ; and in exact proportion as dangers thicken , in the exact same proportion do the enemieB of your friends multiply , increase , and combine against

      yon . Having stood amongst the foremost of your friend 3 , I naturally expected to be made the victim of your enemies . But in all my former struggles against faction I have found ample support in your affectionate regard and co-operation . I fi ^ ht my own battles alone ; and recently , and especially during my last tour , so many leaders of different sections have conspired to weaken my influence , that I feel compelled to meet them in open combat . Some men say , " heed them not ; we know you ; and we know them f but as it neveT has been my policy to sit tamely nnder abuse , my silence upon the several attacks that have been recently made upon me might be construed into an admission ef the truth of those several charges .

      Mr . Parry has addressed a letter to me full of matter condemnatory of himself , but profesing to be charges against me . That I shall answer next week to your entire satisfaction , if not to his . Mr . Watkins , a . man to whom I have never affsrded the slightest pretext , has perambulated the metropolis npon a tour of denunciation ; but thanks te the honest men of London he has been routed and discomfitted ; and in his endeavour to destroy me and the best men in the movement , he has sealed his own doom . I could afford to pass over such ingratitude in silence ; bnt when 1 take the efforts of those parties in connection with those of another individual who has also joined them in their

      cru-B 6 de I feel myself called upon to meet the slander in its infancy , and to give the death blow to this new-born conspiracy at once . The last publication to which I refer is a pamphlet published by the Eav William Hill , pnrportin / r to be a comment apqn two of Mb letters which were refused insertion in the Northern Star . In that pamphlet ho expresses a strong disinclination to quarrel with me , while he calls me hypocrite , faith-breaker , liar , and dictator ; words arthilly Elided in to what he would have me to believe was a very temperate appeal . However , as I have resolved that the Northern Star newspaper shall never again be made the vehicle of personal squabbles , I have replied to this printed pamphlet in another pamphlet , iwhicb , is now published , and in
