2 i _ LES TTRITTEN EXPRESSLY F # R THE "NORTHERN STAR . " BY CHABTIUS . THE EMIGRANTS , so . ni . " Trade ' s unfeeling train ' Usurp the land and dispossess the strain . " Goldsmith . So erii Is more to be deplered . whether -we regard the individual sufferers or the nation generally , than emig ration . Alas , that this evil sbcnld ever have established itself in England I but woe to Englishmen , who instead of eheeling , promote its progress . Emigration jg supposed to be the mere tfflox of a surplus population , szid under this erroneous idea it is considered
bereft- But who does not know that our conntry ndg ht be niide to yield bread enough for ourselves ard to spare for others . Why then sbonid the culti Tstors of the soil be driven like vagrants to seek food ja a foreign land ? Are there not numerous extensive tacts purposely kept barren , becanse the sport of the rich is preferred to the'living of the poor ? And do no : the fowls of the air , the beasts of the field , acd the gibes of the sea multiply in exhaustless profusion aro und ? Besides , haB not Great Britain power to pomps' - the produce of other countries to its shores , bo that the wide world msy be said to be oar harvest field ? Say not , then , that England contains too many Englishmen .
If there be no natnral necessity that any of the inhabitants of our Isle of Providence should exile themselves , is it not a species of infatuated policy that creates an artificial necessity by which the most useful of our peocle are expelled ? The industrious fanner who raises food for others cannot obtain it for himself . Instead of encourag ing his truly beneficial efforts , a parricidal goveniEcent imposes burthens -which oblige him to throw duvn his implements in despair , and he is forced to qu't his urgrateful cour . try in the uncertain hope of procuring that maintenance abroad which is denied
him at home . The patriot departs with feelings in-Terted , fcr he carries within him the indignant con-Bciousi . es that his failure is not occasioned by his own Trent of industry , er the want of reseurccs in the country , whether internal or external ; but from the injustice , mo . - . opoly and oppression of its ralrrs . Paradoxical a 3 it may appear , it is nevertheless true that cur national distress does not proceed from poverty , bnt from wealth—from the misappropriation of the rights of labourite men by a usurping aristocracy and tyrannical capitalists . Luxury disdains homely produce and seeks its supplies from extraneous climes .
Asothti cause of Vhe depression which sffi ' iCts the ggriculturisti is the greedy sway of the avaricious manufacturers ; aboriginal agriculture is sacrificed to indigenous trade . To appease the selfish clamuurs of free tracers , farmers are doomed to toil in vain ; yet tfcengn rednced te extremity by unmerited oppression they never think of turning their sickles into swords , but quietly leave the land where neither landlord nor mill-iord allows them to live , and strive by patient labour in a far foreign clime , to remove the privations they tad become subject to in their own cocntry . May their unrequited services in this world be recompensed in a better . '
England , onse the merry mother of a happy family , hss now become a step-dame to her lawful brood . Ta « hardy sons of her soil who would identify their lives with their native land , whose feelings are as unsophisticated as the free elements ihzi invigorate their freshened dales ; whose patriarchal pursuits nourish in them the kindliest mature ; these true-born English yeomen are to be neglected that a spurious race , sprung from foreign ssnlers may be favoured—beings who , spider-like , would spin their own bowels for profit ; whose principles fluctuate with their profits , whose allegiance shifts with their trade , and who would make England a trades-body dependent npon the custom of other nations , losing w&ich she would become a bankrupt . The enckoo from abroad has got into our nest , and not content with her harbourage there , she casts out the genuine brood upon the pricks .
It were an easy task to compare the moral as well as political character of the agriculturist and the manufacturer , but as character depends in a great measure upon occupation , I will avoid a comparison that micht be deemed invidious , and in its stead contrast the pust and present appearance of rural life . Milton says or tings : " Sometimes with secure delight The upland hamlets will invite , When the merry bells ring round , And the jocundlebecks Bound ; To many a youth and many a maid , Dancing in the chequer'd shade , And young and old come forth to play , Tpon a sunshine holiday . "
"VVTio can read this without mentally joining in the daace ? And do such scenes now exiit in poetical description only ? Alas , the happiness -that in those days was no fiction , is now succeeded by as real misery . Two centuries of Whiggism and Toryism—of factions and class legislation , have sufficed to throw dowa the maypoles , —to expatriate the merry-makers , to send young and old to die bastile—and now , instead of the youths and maids with their jecund rebecks , making a circle of delight round tee greenwood tree , we see the indigo-dyed police whose demon scowl has scared away all pleasure and all innocence .
The callous townsman may be regardless of the countryman ' s distress ; bnt ought not the general ruin of his country to make him look beyond his own particular interests ? Emigrants are but escaping froji the evil day that hangs over England . Trade may bring capital into the country , bnt money is only artificial wealth . Should our intercourse with foreign nations be cut off , -where will the manufacturer find a customer , and how will he obtain bread when the farmer has gone and left the land , the true mine of wealth , impoverished ? England has frequently been successful in her wars , but then she fought against foreigners . Her best defenders are becoming the adopted sons of America—of that America which broke from British thraldom , and is now free to revenge herself . Past events shonld be s lesson and a warning . Oh , then , let us cease to consider emigration as a common aewer that drains our land of its refuse population . They are the best and most useful of our people that thus depart , leaving the idle and profligate behind .
The following tale founded oh facts may illustrate Some of the foregoing remarks . In Danby Dale , Yorkshire , there is a Email but rural aud romantic farm situated at the foot of a precipitous crag . It is worth while climbing that crag to view the varied scene beneath . Sometimes , at break of day , misty vapours roll off the top of the moor down into the dale and fill it completely . Any one might easily imagine that thB ocean bad overflowed the land , and Unt he stood npon a cliff to mark its progress . As the morning advances this seeming sea gradually evaporates , and all the characteristic features of the valley are one by one revealed in the clear sunlight The fertile lands , intersected in every direction with hedges and dotted with trees , preient a perfect contrast to the sombre und uniform moors above . A brook , edged with trees that
stoop as if to drink its waters , runs playfully in and out of view through the middle of this narrow vale , and may be called ths living tenant of this landscape . In the tack ground , the distant monntains assimilate with the clouds ; in the foreground they rise bold and distinct like threatening giants whose crushing weight , sad not the unwieldy skill , imposes terror . The crag itself is interspersed with large moss-grown Btones , Titanian fragments , that have fallen from the rocky elifis above , whose beetling brows scowl destruction on ali beneath . Covered with wild herbage , among which grow irregular clumps of dwarf bushes and trees , this spot has more the appearance of a covert
for birds and beasts of prey , than a range for domestic cattle . Immediately below stands the cottage , looking upon the cultivated lands that spread down to the brook ' s brink . Nor is the eye alone gratified in this interesting scene . In spring , a concert led by the loud thrush on the top of the lof nest tree , and filled with every variety of sound from the shrill treble of the . piping * teh to the deep bass of the mellow dove , makes the crag ring with notes of joy . The lover of nature in her Wildest or softest aspects may sit and view & scene that will map itseif upon his mind , or listen to woodland minstrelsy that shames even Mainzer ' s wngiiig ZEillionK .
Leaving this charming prospect , let ns bend onr steps to the cottage , which Ls as picturesque as the scene irouna . A stranger wonld not distinguish it from the Cuibuilfi ' ngs Tfhere cattle are lodged . The thatched rocf is long and low , « "d overgrown with dark moss , above whiib the houseleek peers—the windows are very narrow and look more like peep-holes than inlets of ligh' . It is o&vious that this hut has been built without any preconcerted plan—so far from consulting e ' egance , convenience has scarcely been attended to . The outhouses form an irregular group of dilapidated kiildings—a little garden lays oddly between , and on the outskirts of this primitive homestead , is an orchard vhose trees are so old as to be nearly barren . The poultry on the dunghill and in the pool render the place lively with confused motions and discordant Sounds .
Richard Robinson was the tenant cf this sequestered farm . His father had lived in the stirring times of war when the nation weakened its internal strength in the v » in pursuit of foreign power . Ill-directe i ambition is sure to rec * il—reaction is a natural consequence of overweening exertion . The money which Richard ' s father saved before the tfm ** suffered their present relapse , he bequeathed with his example and certain pmdent m « Ti ™« to his son who succeeded to a long hereditary tenancy that in * doomed to terminate in him . According to the custom of Hie country , the funeral of bit aged parent vu celebrated -with a feast as though
ttie fcurtivura -were resolved by the most natural means to vtst the fate of the deceased from themselves When the mourning relatives had vented the free expressions of their grief , their sense of the worth of the departed , and had complied with the forms of ceremony , Richard entered on the management of the farm determined te merit tbouah he might not obtain the success that had rewarded his father ' s efforts . Our farmer ' s family at this time consisted of himself and kis good wi !» with their son and daughter—the former » stoat lad that served his father instead of a hired Berrsiit—the latter a comely maiden teat assisted her Bother in the same capacity . Their eld grandmother at the livelong Say in tke warm chimney nook , me-

chanically knitting or spinning , while the scenes of her past life shifted before her mind ' s eye , like a revolving diorama . By dint of industry and economy this family of farmers kept their ground though the times were fast retrogading , and if sot happy they were at least content The routine of each day ' s labour was planned the evening before—its regular discharge left them to enjoy withont interruption their hoars of rest , 'which were always cheered with recreation . Tasks were undertaken for pastime—pleasure and profit seemed to te bound ep
with every sheaf of corn . The father took frequent oc casion from his werk to make ingenious exemplifications cf moral virtue—the . son sung heroic strains to animate a Bpirit already too prone to enterprise— the mother enforced her advice by delivering it in the accent of gentle reproof—the daughter sung tender ditties which increased her rather too morbid sensibility—bnt the old dames ' s voice was seldom heard except when raised against some innovation of fashion or when poured in expressions of maudlin pity npon some object of love or distress . Thns oid the members of this connected family evince their relative stations in it .
In the long winter evenings a circle of neighbours would oftentimes gather round the large turf fire that lay heaped up on the open hearth . Th 6 re , while the wind shook the old dwelling , as if angry at being barred out—while the hail clattered against the windows , and the scream of the owl arose like the cry of one benighted is the storm , the heedless and happy inmates entertained each other with the sayings and doings of their forefathers . The adventures of a talker , whose tongue performs feats which the arm had never done —who tells what might have happened , if what did happen be not worth the telling ; in a word , whose imagination supplies all the deficiencies of reality , this important personage , as needful to enliven as the fire to warm the company , was no more wanting here than in more refined societies . The bustling wife would use the privilege of her sex to speak' freely the pertinent joke ; the daughter listened in silence , as she bent over her sewing ; none laughed so heartily as the Bon ; but mirth had lost its power on his aged grandmother , who dosed the while in her soft arm chair .
CDuld Ambitien have 8 toope 4 to enter this lowly abode , there might he have fonnd health and content lovingly concerting each other . On a summer's Sabbath the quiet rays of the snn rested calmly upon the simple fumitnre , an image of that peace which the world cannot give . The oaken panels , poliBhed by the rubbing of successive generations , shone black as jet ; tke articlea of use were burnished , and served likewise for ornaments ; the old clock constantly clacked in a corner , like a gossip whom age has made garrulous ; the pictured emblems of Faith , Hope , and Charity indicated that those virtues had chosen this obscure cottage for their retreat from a hostile world . Here Piety might have found a refuge , and dwelt a rural hermit here .
Sometimes the bid state of the markets would lead to a discussion of the hardness of the times . Upon this topic Richard was listened to with much deference ; for besides that his success gave much weight to his opinions , his experience and natural good sense had proenred for him the honourable post of parish arbitrator . Like his prototype , "Poor Richard , " our Richard used to speak apothegms . He would say— " The times are bid , but folks are worse . Thsir fathers were earners , but the sons are spenders . A shilling would procure a good dinner , and if we do not need it ourselves there are many that do , and so may we at some future tims : we should think of this before we waste a shilling . Ton miy always spend faster than yon can earn . Luxuries ara far dearer than necessaries , and indeed are dear at any price . What is sold is low-priced ; what is bought is high . No wonder that extravagant sons sink faster back than their careful fathers went forward .
Tfeey walk slowly to work , but gallop to sport . I btlieve those farms are few that will not keep a comfortable house , and this is ali that can be expected nowa-days . To be sure , misfortunes will foil the best management" Thus spake Richard , whose prosperity exemplified the value of his precepts ; but little did he foresee that adversity would prove their intfficacy ¦ when cases are altered by circumstances . Incited by the love of adventure common to highspirited youth Richard ' s son went one evening without his father ' s knowledge and shot a hare . Directed by the report of the gun , the gamekeeper intercepted the young poacher ' s retreat and demanded his booty . The
boy with much reluctance complied , hoping thus to appease the insatiate man of authority , but in vain . The gun was next demanded—lhi 3 had been borrowed and therefore the lad was determined to run all risks , rather than give it up . A struggle ensued—the keeper was thrown and the victor ran off with the weapon of contention . This simple quarrel was greatly exaggerated —the bid was summoned , convicted , and sent to prison . Though much vexed at his son , Richard could not but feel more resentment against his persecutor . After vainly endeavouring to compound matters , his wife and he repaired to the assize town to do what could be done for their boy .
The eyes of justice have been bandaged by law—nght is weighed in her left hand—the sword is wielded instead of the balance . Richard attended at bis son's trial and heard the sentence of banishment pronounced against him—his own peace of mind was banished at the sound . The lad , with whose existence the best part of his own bad been identified , who had been the object of so much cire and pains , who had now become capable and was willing to requite his parents—such a son to b ? ignominiougly torn from them and sent in such a manner to such a doom ! Richard with his wife retired into a corner of the court and wept bitterlythey could not comfort each other , and the lawyers , thinking probably that they were beyond consolation , never attempted to console them .
"When this sorrowful couple returned home they fonnd their only remaining child in tears—the sight made their own fbw anew for they naturally deemed that her brother ' s bereavement had occasioned her grief , but it sprung from a deeper source . A youth , who had volunteered his services during Richard ' s temporary absence , had improved the opportunity thus unsuspectingly afforded him to accomplish the ruin of his daughter , regardless of the affliction that had already befallen this ill-fated family . Poverty did not restrain him from committing a crime , the consequences of which it disabled him from remedying , and double
villain was he who could thus knowingly take advantage of the simple confidence reposed in him by an artless maiden to betray her to shame and want When informed of the situation of his daughter Richard heaved one sigh , looked np and then went his way without saying a ¦ word . His son had been taken from him cot by the decree of heaven , but of unjust man , and sent to a barbarous land—his daughter , instead of being a comfort to him when he most needed it , bad become a disgraceful burthen that added to Vhe weight of bis griefs , and bowed his spirits lower than the worst times could have sunk it His fireside no more attracted his neighbours . All these things were against him . ( To be concluded in our next . )

TO THE CHARTISTS OF SCOTLAND . Beothek Chaetists—In my last I stated shortly the present state of the six districts in Scotland , and it will now be proper to point out the duties which an Executive will have to perform . Recent events have shewn ns that the public mind among the working classes is running in three' different fh « nti « ia—a small portion are looking to the movement for Complete Suffrage—among the middle class they may be consi dered the timid and the aristocratic . There is a considerable portion who are still labouring under the exploded idea that Trades Unions and Strikes are a remedy for tits evils of class legislation . The patriotism and intelligence of ( be working population , have unequivocally declared far Chartist suffrage , as the only and sufficient security for moderate labour , permanent employment , cheap government , and the establishment of national and individual liberty .
It is the duty , and will be fonnd to be the only sonnd policy for the Chartist , to pay no attention to either of these movements . Complete Suffrage , if honestly taken up and persevered in , is Chartism . Trades Unions and a Strike for wages is an ism that has lost its charms . In this its last effort , the Chartists , in no sense , ought to identify themselves with it , as such identification would be tantamount to an impeachment of the Charter being a remedy . It would be highly desirable at the present time that the Scottish Executive be formed and hold a meeting as early as possible ; and the place I presume ought to be Edinburgh , as . the most central

being the easiest of access from all the six centres . There are questions of vital importance awaiting their determination . 1 . How ought the Chartists to treat the Complete Suffrage movement in Scotland . 2 . How far is it proper for the Chartists to interfere in Strikes , and in declarations for a particular rate of wages , as Chartists . 3 . Another subject of vital importance demanding their consideration is , to ascertain the number of those who held Chartist principles in proportion to the adult population of the place each member represents . 4 . Another matter of great importance to the success of our movement is a declaration from this executive against all violence and nnlawful proceedings . 5 . To take into consideration the despotie doctrine laid down by the Home Secretary , that a constable was to judge of what constituted a legal meeting . If so we may consider the Habeas Corpus act suspended in this conntry .
6 . That the names and addresses of all those at present lecturing npon the Charter be collected aud officially reported through the Star , as there is great danger likely to result from inattention to this matter . It cannot be disputed but that these are subjects of great importance . An error committed upon any one of these , injures or retards the progress of the cause ; entire and complete uniformity of action is desirable . A declaration through a properly elected executive is the only means whereby it can be secured . It was the duty of the nominal General Secretary for Scotland , who was appointed on the 3 rd January last , to have corresponded with the six centres , and have
ascertained their views upon these important subjects , as it is reported that he is now installed secretary to the Complete Suffrage Association of Glasgow : thus the means to convene these six centres is removed , it now belongB to themselves to appoint a time and elect representatives to settle the subjects mentioned , with others that might be added to it . The West Midland District has elected their delegate some time since , their election having fallen npon Mr . A . Dnncan . I trust then that they will proceed to their election , bo as that the Chartists in Scotland may act with the spirit of unanimity and brotherly confidence , as men who are engaged in a great and good cause , ready to sacrifice every selfish consideration for the general good .
I am , respected friends , Youra , truly , David Thompson . P . S . As I have received communications already wishing me to lay before this district the propriety of getting up a delegate meeting , I am quite agreeable to serve those districts intending to elect representatives . If they think of sending their communications to me I will lay them before the Association of Alloa , and this District , and make arrangements with the friends in Edinburgh for their meeting . D . T . Alloa , 29 th August , 1842 .

^ TO MR . PATRICK RAFTER , OF THE IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION . LETTER I . Aye , roar in his train let them orators lash The ' j fanciful spirits to pamper his pride—Not thns did thy GraJtan indignantly lash His soul o ' er the freedom implored and denied . Byron . Mt dear Rafter , —The reign of Toryism has commenced here in true earnest , and the base Whigs have succeeded in laying the foundation stone of another bloody and brutal structure ! They are loud in their laudations of what a splendid edifice it will be Bnt the people of England deserve to be eternal slaves if they ever again lay their bricks and mortar for them .
So O'Connell has come out for the Six Points . Have I not always told you he would de so , when deprived of Whig patronage and power , and that he would endeavour to make stepping-stones of the sham Radicals to regain it . I know your sentiments too well to believe that yon can for a moment join in the supposition that O'Connell is a sincere patriot . I also believe that yon are not the man to lend yourself to the propagation of any other opinion against your sense and judgment You know what my opinions are on this subject , and you also know , from your cIobh and personal intercourse with me for the last sixteen years , that I am not the man to bow down befere the " golden calf" today , that I yesterday proclaimed a cold , bloated , heartless idoL No , no man shall say to me
" Is it madness or meanness that clings to thee now ? Were he God as he is , but the commonest clay , With scarce fewer wrinkles than sins on his brow , Such servile devotion ought thame thee away . " No one would be more ready than I would to make any sacrifice , if I thought it were for the public good ; but , looking as I do , a little beyond the water ' s edge , I will never embark in a vessel when I know that the old admiral , boatswain , and most of the crew believe her not to be sea worthy ; and that they are only locking out toe a shallow to get safely on shore , that they may leave her and her unwary passengers ( after taking their passage money ) to perish on the rocks ,
and breakers that surround them ! You know , aud I know that this has been done in Ireland time after time ; but again and again kas a fresh frigate been rigged out ; and again and again have we heard the old captain ' s cry , " Come along , my boys , pay your fare , we're now just going to start for the port of freedom ! " Have we not often started her with 190 , 000 cheers from the bay of Dunleary ; but alas , have we not always seen her return dismantled and tattered , and her hardy crews ( the forties and the tythe victims ) wrecked and destroyed ! while her Admiral was skulking under the gunwale of tke Kingstown and Holly head steamer ! And this is the man , forsooth , who is to make England again
" The envy of surrounding nations ;'' and Ireland " Great , giorious , and free , first flower of the earth , And first gem of the sea . ' " You will bear in mind the many attempts that Mr . O'Connell has made to get the English people to give np their leaders , and also the many attempts he has made to cause them to abandon Universal Suffrage for General Suffrage ! Household Suffrage ! Complete Suffrage ! Well , all these have failed , and as I have foretold you , he now comes to the last kick ; for like Yorick'a skull , " to this favour he mast come . " But what a sight is here , my countrymen ; the man who assisted in penning the Chatter , then denouncing it , is obliged by the force of events to come back , tired , without any one pitying him , to the very spot from whence
he started , changing as completely as the compass in a whirlwind , the dolphin , or the camelien . The times really seem to have as much effect on him as a tGuch of the hand to the sensative plant . You will also bear in mind that Mr . 0 "Cornell has been a member and a principal adviser of the Anti-Corn Law League ; you will a ! so remark that he rather ludicrously apologised for his absence at tho late Anti-Corn Law League , held in London just before the present outbreak , and when Mr . George Thompson , their secretary , made such a violent speech against the Government , and in wliich some very strong threats were heH out . I have seen this speech printed and posted in many towns , and on even the huts of the fishermen in Hastings , along the coast Now it is a well known fact that the League premeditated stopping the mills for some time before they did so ; but did Mr . O'Connell ( whom we cannot conceive to be ignorant of their intentions ) either expose
or denounce such an infernal scheme ? couple this with his desire to get shut of the Chartist leaders , and you have th 6 why and the wherefore bsund up in a little Whig wrapper . Ah ! the rascals , if they conld only get shut of the leaders they think the people could be easily made to follow , and I am sorry to say that toe many of the Chartist leaders have taken the bait that was laid for them , while they are now quite crazy because Mr . O'Connor was too wide awake for them to be caught by their chaff , and they are now crying coward at him becanse he did not give the lory bullets a chance of trying the softness of his heart , while had he been fool-hardy enough to display his useless bravery , the rascals who now call him coward would be the first to exult in the arrest of the " hotbrained agitator , " or the inglorious death of a man who could allow himself to be made a second Jack Kade , to gratify the thirsty blood-hounds whose burning throats were parching for a second Peterloo ! like Satan ,
" Armed with hell-fiimea and fury , all at once O ' er heaven ' s high towers to force resistless way . " Of one thing I am convinced , that the Leaguers have been much disappointed at the strike . They have been foiled in most of their deep laid plots to break np the present organization , and the foiling of which has rendered O'CouneU ' s long hatched address a rather rotten reed for him to lean npon . There is enough of virtue in thepecpleof ingland , though they were deprived of every leader , to scont from their councils the traducer of their wives and danghters , and the betrayer of 500 , 000 of his own confiding countrymen . They still remember the cry of the factory babes ; nor do they fo rget the Glasgow cotton spinners , the Dorchester labourers , nor the -about of exultation at the fate of the betrayed Frost No , » o { the men of England will not join with the man who conld coldly and callously look on while the blood of the men of Clare is still crying for vengeance They still remember , if he shamelessly forget , the massacre of Rathconnac ! of Charchtown ! of Walistown J and Carrickshaugh !

moderate , and not violent . Thosa Chartists who will bow and scrape before a middle-class money-grobber , and acknowled ge that Feargus O'Connor is too violent , aa ( t « certain individuals who are full of life , energy , and activity in the cause , mere tools of his , are sure to meet with a warm reception . I have openly and repeatedly declared fa the Chartist Room in Birmingham , that if they offered to join us , 1 tor one , shanld object to it ; for they would only ao ee for the pnrpose of destroying our union . They may grumble that like about denunciationbut I
, affirm it to have been the very best policy that could be pursued . "Oh , don't denounce a man because he conscientiously differs with you on minor points , " says a smock-faced animal , who likes to rub bis skirts against genteel coats . My dear Sir , I have had a good deal of experience amongst politicians , and I never knew one of your genteel , accommodating , squeamish fellows to be worth a blackberry ; therefore , I take pride in the manner m which you ave laying on the whip . Keep them up to the collar . If you once allow an * of those counterfeits to pass as cenuine we are thrown back .
Some of our prudent friends may suggest the propr , COnciliation ' Staking that by so doing , the middle-clwg jurymen might be favourable to us poor devrts in limbo . Never mind that , don't leave the Liberals a leg to stand on ; this is their last shift , and let them know that they must either take the Chartist or Tery side of the question . I get to hear how yon are getting on , and give yon thanks for your late articles . You can hardly imagine how pleasing it is to those who are buried alive , to know that the sentinel is at hia post I remember well that in March , 1840 , when poor Holbeny , Peddle , Brooke , Duffy , Ashton , Martin , myself , and about twenty more , were in York Castle Yard ; af ( er receiving Bentence , some of them remarked that the cause would g » down during the incarceration of so many of the most active Chartists ; but the immediate reply of about a dozen -was ., " the Star will keep it up ; " and so it proved .
My paper is fall ; I again thai * yon for being always there when wanted . I have been now a month in solitary confinement ; but am in capital health . I am yours , In the good'eause , George White .

^ — . PROOF OF MIDDLE-CLASS SYMPATHY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SIR , —In passing through a few colliery districts of Durham , and Northumberland , I have learned a few facts , namely , any one who has the least desire for freedom can not obtain employment upon the most tedious terms , that is to say , they can only be employed from day to day , bo that if it is found that any slave thus employed shall look into the Northern Star , or any other liberal paper , such slaves are , without a day'a notice , discharged from their employ and turned out of their cottages . You must understand , sir , that employers here are both coal mine , cottage , and slave proprietors , for if a man desires wotk and is ¦ willing to sacrifice political
principle , he may be a s ' ave for twelve months , and after being thus bound he cannot absfciin from work a / single day without a note from the colliery doctor , without being subject to imprisonment—neither are the colliers allowed to have a doctor of their own choosing—such gentlemen are to be selected by the master miners . If a collier takes in a lodger who does not work on the same establishment , the cellier must pay one shilling and sixpence a-week more rent fer such lodger . School masters are of the same appointment , for it happened a few weeks ago that a poor man , although the first scholar in the whole colliery , was roosted out of the neighbourhood , and was not allowed to have either a school or employment because his mind was tinged a little with thinking about politics .
The coal-masters are supremely good , pious , and religious . The other day , a raving madman cried out in the street , " Thank God ! no man need go into the pit " ( hell ) , when a poor slave cried out , " What a d d lie , for I have to go into the pit ( coal pit ) every day , and work there from twelve to fourteen hours , or me and my family must starve .

i ANOTHER YICTIM OP CLASS TYRANNY . On Friday evening last , Mr . James Cartledge , tbe Secretary to the South Lancashire Delegates , was arrested by Mr . Inspector Irvine , on a charge of using s editious language at Mottram Green , on Sunday , the U'tb . August i VI r . Cartledge . was conveyed In a coach te the Town Hal V and consigned to the lock-up underneath that buiic 'ing . ' A great number of papers and boeks were seiz 9 d . . consisting of Chartist Circulars , Northern Stars , and pc -rtraits given with that paper , together with a quantit , 7 of children's school books . Mr . Csrtledge having i or some years back conducted & seminary for the instr uction of youth , in which capacity he is much respected . A box fu 1 of books , belcnsing to Mrs . Cartledge'i brother , were also taken to tbe Town Hall , where they were subjected to a rigid scrutiny .
Mr . Cavtli dge having been kept in the lock-up from Friday until Monday , was removed to Hyde , accompanied by Ii vine and Cross , for the purpose , as tho H ; de raaaistri tes informed him , to hear the depositions asair . at liinvread over , at the same time tailing him there were other charges against him of a serious nature in Lancashire . The depositions were then read and sworn ti > f and Mr . Cartled ge asked if he had ai . y questions to put to the witnesses , the Chairman advising him to' be camions , as his queations would be written down and' appear , against him on hia trial Cirtlerige , however , put a few questions , and elicited from tbe - ' witnesses that they were officers in the Cheshire constabulary force .

Notwithstanding the exorbitant amount of bail demanded from this poer man . such was the eonduct of the magistrates that they refused to tuke four sureties at £ 150 each , instead of two at £ 380 . I applied for libeity to see Mr . Cartledge , which was readily granted , and I was locked up with him in his cell for some time , and after consulting with him concerning his . bail , he desired tbat I would make it known to . ttae public , through the columns of the Star , that he received the bist of treatment at the hands of the Manchester officers .

STAG HUNT ON TOMIES MOUNTAIN AND THE LOWER LAKES . The lovers of this delightful terra-aquatic amusement ( peculiar to Killarney ) wtro gratified to their hearts ' coiittnt on Thursday . The weather -being highly propitious , nil the fairy flotilla of Loclilane was under wyigh at an early hour , freighted with " the youth , beauty , and fashion cf the kingitom of Kerry , and no few contributions from tbe kingdoms beyond . At high meridian tbe hounds were in fuil cry , and at this critical moment the boata began to rendezvous near O Sullivan ' s Caicade . " The autler'd monarch of the waste Sprung from his heathery couch in hasto , "
exactly opposite Vincent Point—dashed towards the cataract—bounded towards the teeming flood jus ! , below the fall , and stretched gallantly away with all bis deep-mouthed . enemies at his heels . He had not gone far , however , when another Red Rover created a diversion in his favour , and a few hounds ¦ were seen hanging on the haunches of the latter . ( This double hunt waa only erijoyed by a few boats in the rear . ) Tbe Muckrush beagles , however , were no foola , and the stragglers soon returned to the attack . The first stag bad now reached the boundary of Glona , when , as though scrupulous ( unlike some of his biped followers ) of trespassing on Lord K « nm ; ire ' s property , albeit in a case of life and death , tbe hardpressed animal , turned him round , looked at bis pursuers , and descending apace , to the shore , and panting and exhausted , plunged into Lhe lake .
Scarce had be hived his sides in the pure and refreshing waters , ere a squadron of boats closing around him , compelled him to swim back to laud . But the dogs would not suffVr him , re-invigorated though he was , to ascend the mountain again , and , lika politu Irishmen , seemed anxious , and in fact did all in their power to give the ladies and gentlemtn n full and satisfactory opportunity of beholding the exhilarating amusement . They now urged him along the water's edge , and it soon became a contest not merely between the quarry and his pursuers , but batmen the hunters on the land and the rowers on the lake . Oace more , in the meantime , did the stag plunge into the glassy basin , and once more was he driven back . But though he had thus twice renewed his strength , on asain reaching Vincent's Point ( the very spot where be -was started ) , he for the third time sought refuge in tbe lake's pure bosom . Ho was at last captured by Counsellor Leahy ' s boatmen . ¦ ' .
Among the spectators of this unequalled bunt were the following distinguished visitors , then . staying at the Muckrusa Hotel : —Rev . Robert Longfivld , Castlemary ; Mrs . Jephson ,- Mallow ; Wilson Gun , E-q , Rattoo ; Peter Thomson and Blennerhusetfc Thompi . au , EsqtB ., and the ladies of their party . — Correspondent of the Kerry Post . '
