SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

Notwithstanding the absence of several subscribers at Crox-
teth Park Races the betting was tolerably brisk about the three
favourites and an outsider in Scott's stable, Morning Star ; it
took effect upon Rosalie, who rose two points, but left the
others as before. An advance of a couple of points in Eringo
is all that requires any notice beyond the following :

THE CHARTIST LEADERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—The truly independent character of your ow❑
writings gives me a hope that you will find a corner for
this communication.

For twenty-six years I have been a 1-tidied Reformer
I have contributed my mite to every subscription Mlle!,
had for its object the lessening of the privations of the
working man ; I have subscribed for Cobbett, Hunt,
and even for the Charter ; but with the present 1 aders
of the Chartists I have done fur ever. Hundreds in
13olton have come to the same determination. The old
R,dormers perceive thrt O'Connor, 11i'Douall, Leach,
and a few others, are fighting for self-interest only. L
is proved that the first mentioned is clearing 1,500/.
year, while he is over browbeating O'Connell about his
tint. Look at the Star's defences, from week to week,
of the Tories, and of the infamous landlords' monopolies.
Look at the opposition which it makes to every propo-
sal for feeding the famishing poor. The Editor is now
attacking all those who have been looking into the state
of our import duties, and is determined, if he can aid
it, that colonial monopoly shall be fostered iike the land-
owners. Neither sugar, corn, coffee, nor anything which
goes into the cottage of the working man, shall be any
cheaper if he can help it ; for he well knows that es
soon as the state of the labourer and artisan is bettered,
" Othello's occupation's gone." The Star, which con-
sists of tedious details of five hundred times repeated
" lectures" of M'Douall, Leech, and Co., would set for
ever.

I have no hesitation in saying that, if there were any
likelihood of the Charter being obtained, the above gen-
tlemen mould strike out into some fresh version of it,
for they will still hang on the pockets of the toiling
slaves. Work they will not. One of them, Bronterre,
is attacking Cobbett, Cartwright, and others, the first of
whom has done more for the labouring man in one
week than Bronterre will do if he live twenty years'
longer. Let them answer Samuel Bemford's letter in
the last Manchester and Salford Advertiser. That let-
ter, from a really sensible and talented Reformer, is
wormwood to the set who are feeding upon us. But
the people here are opening their eyes, and I predict
that the paid lecturers, who disturb every meet;ng called
to petition for more food, will never get another pound
from Bolton. Sir, your's truly,

CHARLES BAKEWELL.

COUNTING OUT THE HOUSE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR—A Sunday paper (the Spectator) is endeavouring
to excite a prejudice against Members of Parliament who
move tbat the House of Commons shall be counted when
there are not forty Members present. If I understand
anything of the matter, I think the Spectator is likely to
come off " second best," as the saying is, in this navel
struggle. It certainly does seem somewhat strange that
a paper like the Spectator, which advances exclusive preten-
sions to patriotism and public virtue, should have ventured to
avow itself the advocate of that species of smuggling and
contraband legislation which is occasionally attempted to
be carried on by little knots of men in the House of Com-
mons. My business leads me to see and converse with
large numbers of persons daily, in the bumbler ranks of
life, and, judging from the opinions they express, I should
say that nothing gives the public greater satisfaction
than to find that, as the reporters say, " less than forty
Members" have been prevented from tampering with matters
affecting the interests of this mighty empire, with
,at least
150 millions of subjects. The House of Commons has
declared by one of its own rules that forty Members, at
least, ought to be present when business is transacted.
That assembly, consulting as it does the convenience of
its Members in every thing, is not likely to have fixed
upon too high a number ; it more probably has erred
in the opposite direction. If, however, it be considered
unreasonable to expect so many as forty Members to at-
tend to their duty, let the rule be rescinded ; but as
long as the rule stands,. those Members will earn for
themselves the gratitude of the people who cause it to
be enforced.—l am

THE CHARTISTS AND THE

CORN-LAWS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In The Sun of last evening, when commenting
on the Huddersfield Anti-Corn-law Tea Party, you ex-
pressed considerable pleasure at tho fact of a quantity of
females being present, but at the same time you deprecate
the interference of women in political matters, Tt.it, in
my opinion, displays considerable inconsistency in a Jour-
nal which has all along supported the right of a woman to
hold the office of head of the body politic. Now, if one
woman has a right to rule the destiny of a mighty nation,
I should be glad if you would show me the reason why
her less fortunate sisters should not interfere in political
matters, so far as the right of election of representatives
is concerned.•

And while on the subject of the Core-laws, I should
be glad V) put you right concerning the motives of the
Chartists in out-voting the Crrn-law Repealers at their
meetings. The Repeal portion of the press have done all
in their power to misrepresent the proceedings of the
Chartists at the meetings.
Ist. They charce the Chartists with being noisy and
riotous. This I totally deny ; the Repeal party were the
first to commence a disturbance, by hissing and hooting
the Chartist speakers at all the Anti-Corn-law meetings
I have attended.

2d. They charge them with ignorance. This comes
with a bad grace from the middle class, when the House of
Commons, elected by them, is considered. It must be
either ignorance, or something worse, that operates on them
to vote fur such men. The fact that the Chartists,
as a body, are not ignorant, is proved by the admirable
defences of the majority of them on their trials during the
late reign of terror, when the friendly middle men lent
themselves to the Government to put down every indivi-
dual that avowed himself a Chartist. Their intelligence
is proved by the glorious struggle they have made, and are
now making, for their political rights—not as a mere
bread and cheese question, but because they feel them-
selves entitled to the rights of citizenship.
The Chartists do not believe they would benefited by a
repeal of the Corn laws under the present system ; there-
fore, they move amendments at the meetings cakled for
that purpose. Mr. Cobden, at the Manckester meet'ng,
said that no one could dispute the injustice of the Corn-
laws ; for that reason, all ought to combine to get rid of
the injustice. The Chartists know that not (von the
most rabid Tory can dispute the right of all to the sue-
frpgz. Therefore, that is justice; and we will ask for no-
thing less than the People's Charter, as we are convinced
that nothing short of that can benefit the working man.
We have bad enough of bit by bit reform in the glorious
Reform Bill ; we have now a greater number of enemies
to contend against than we had st that time, when we
fought hard and gained nothing. We hate been tsught
a lesson by that movement, which we shall not forget.
The individuals whom we they, benefited arc now our bit-
terest enemies. For some of the reasons the Chartists do
not believe they would be benefited, I refer you to the
first article in the inclosed Circular.--I am, &e.
