Chops in Ibxlaxd . —The account of the crops from the districts in Ireland are all of the most encouraging nature : a continuance for a short period longer of the present weather will bring in an early and an abundant harvest . Wheat and oats are described as in the most splendid condition , and the potatoes promise to be oue of the largest crops known to the present generation . The scsvktobs of taxes have been visiting the towns of this county , and the inhabitants have received them very unkindly ; indeed , such has been the effect even among the most extreme Liberals , that they openly complain of the Ministers ; and at Oswestry and other towns the Sanday was profaned by stopping up all useless windows to prevent the . ex' . ra assessment . —Shrewsbury Times . ; .

¦ w AWwtt £ 8 TPSR + «THE STOCKPOKT WEAVER 8 . A public meeting ms held fa the Carpenters' Hall , Manchester , on Friday , the 26 tt instant ? in order to ^ SS *• — * *• ™ - Ioom Mr . Daniel Donovan was called to the chair , who , Wg opened the business of the day , said it was use ! objects of the present meeting , as they were aS well aware of their Stockport S « n-, L ^ OS two thousand people ven pwuling the ateeeta of Stock-V ' ^ V ^ ^ PP * ey had » yet received SS ^^ E" * ^ «* •«* * *» -w going KANCH ^ STSfU ¦ IH * ™™™ .
Mt . Colxins , of Manchester , came forward to move £ ! i v i £ B 0 lBt ! ' He said ^^ Stockport people had boldly and manfully resisted the reductionlro posed by the matters . It was rumoured they had gone ^ *} the P ^ P 08 ^ reduced prices , hut that was not true , for four mills still stand out , and are determined to do so until the termination of the difference when the others now at work shall take their turn ana if supported , he believed would be very short u Ihe employers seemed very anxious the hands should go to their work . With these few remarks , he wouldmerely read the resolution . to
^ v LAJf ^ came forwar d second the resolution , rluch he did most cordially , for if this reduction was Bowed quietly to take place , it was only the foreunner to others in the manufacturing business and * her trades litewiae . He said Stockport had always « en a nursmy mother to Manchester in times of need , ^ d he hoped they in return would prove dutiful Juiareu ; hut there were some startling facta he could lot help adverting to , namely-that there were only wenty factories in Manchester that supported the men ) f
fetockport , aad that Ashton sent £ 90 in the same n-eek that Manchester sent £ 27 : he was sorry to say x was not what might be expected . The speaker then Save a heart-rending description of miseries , of hunger wid nakedness , the details of which we consider too bomble for publication . He also asked was it not better to pay sixpence to the strike just now , than a shilling to the masters afterwards , whose strike would never be over , unless by striking again and again—harder and Harder He therefore begged leave to propose the first resolution .
Joseph Linnet spoke to the resolution and was received with cheers and clapping of hands . He said he thanked them for their seeming manner of approbation , but , he said , that it was to-morrow-night that he wanted them to clap their hands in their pockets to support their brethren in distress . He was Borry to find that Manchester was far behind even small vil lages in comparison ; but he hoped better thing 3 would take-p ^ aee , and that they would come forward and support the brave men and women that so nobly came forward to stem the tide of tyranny—that victims had and would be made . He then mentioned the brave and unflinching advocate of freedom , Christopher Di > yle—iapplause . —who had already suffered nine months' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle , and now was suffering further imprisonment in Preston House
of Correction , for his and thei rights ; and said , untilyou ; have yeur political right * . * you never will nor can be better , t Cheers . ) He alse said that it was a wellknown fact to all that were cenversant with the numerous strikes which hasl been in this town and neigh-: bourhood , that Stockport had sent more money to , similar contests than any town in England ; he said that he conld scarce help dropping those few remarks upon the present occasion . The following resolution Was then read and carried unanimously , Tiz .: —" That it ia : the opinion of this meeting that the power-loom weavers of Stockport are justifiable in standing out against the reduction of lti . l , d- per cent offered them by their employers ; and further , that we do in loto disapprove of the conduct of their employers in attempting to deprive them of about forty thousand pounds a-year . "
Mr . Dickson came forward to move the second resolution . —He said that it was rumoured abroad that the Stockport people had gone to work at the reduced prices offered by their employers , and that the strike was at an end , and no more support would be wanted ; but he assure them that it was only following the same plan that was pursutd by them in the case of the strike at Glossop , which terminated the contest so satbfact-. rily . He also said that it was very singular that Stockport should be made ias it were ) the scape-goat of all England , seeing that it was in Steciport that almost all the general reductions first took place ,
and he was sorry to say the masters of Stockport had , Tmhin the last three months , reduced tbeir wages three times , ana now they came forward with this sweeping measure ; but they considered themselves perfectly justified in endeavouring to resist any fnrther reduction , by those who seem not to care for them , but for what they can make out of them ; all that they , the working people , wanted , was only a fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work , which they certainly would very shortly obtain , if only a proper union existed among them , for what power on earth can resist a united people ?
Mr . M'CARTjtET , who spoke to the resolution , said he was no speaker , but he endeavoured to be an actor , for he had laid down a plan for himself , which he was acting upon , namely , to pay one penny per shilling of his wages to the turn-out , as he thought that was better than giving the masters a shilling , whether he would or not , and be believed if every one had done the same , the strike would have been at an end before now . He would merely support the resolution .
Mr . Manbt came forward to speak to the resolution . He commenced by observing that he was extremely happy to see a splendid Hall like this for the working people to meet in , hut still more so when he understood that it was erected by the united efforts of the working people . This was an example for us to do so likewise for our own protection , for we were surrounded by innumerable difficulties ; hired tools of corruption had been employed to kick up rows , and give the blue bludgeon-men an excuse to use their bludgeons among them , windows and lamps had been broken in like manner , and they , the turnouts , were sworn to as the depredators . One instance he could not help mentioning ; a man was taken up for the commission of this crime ,
sworn to , tried before no fewer than six magistrates , Bint to Knutsford House of Correction for three weeks to hard labour , had his head shaved , and clothed in a prison dress , and while there , was not allowed to write a single scrap of a pen , as that was all the comfort he could afford a sick wife and starving family ; but what was the worst of all , that individual wu six miles distant from the place where the crime was said to be committed . This he could assuredly vouch for the truth of , as he himself was the man . ( Criea of shams . ) Bat so long as he had power to raise his voice , he was determined to do so in the cause of suffering humanity . Any one that would not do so , he knew not by what name to call him , bnt he was certain he did not deserve the name of Christian .
The Chairman then read the following resolution , which was put , and carried unanimously , vis .: — " That It is the opinion of this meeting that the power-loom weavers of Stockport are highly deserving of our support by every legal means in our pewer until the end of the struggle . " The Chairman then observed , as they had thus pledged themselves , publicly pledged themselves , he hoped they would make their words good . ( Cries of " we will , we wilL ") Mr . Campbell , in proposing the third resolution , said , Men and Women , I do not address yoH by the backnied phrases % t L&diea and Gentlemen , for w » have but very little of that about us ; others contrive to live aj such out of our labeur , and this being a well
known fact , it was then impossible to speak upon this subject , without touching upon politics . Bronterre said , that if you will nave nothing to do with politics , politics will have to do with you ; so we find , by the last speaker ' s account , he himself perceives six magistrates , or justices of the peace , ( heaven save tk » mark ) sending an innocent man to gaol ( Cries of "Shame , shame . " ) Besides , many more such instances could be mentioned . Witness the treatment of our esteemed friend , Feargus O'Connor . ( At the mention of the name all , ai if lectrified , burst out with shouts of indignation , for several minutes , from all parts of th » densely crowded halL ) He then said if the people had the power to make the law , they must obey . How soon would those judges and justices be sent t « seek a job ; and , as they all knew , the want of power was but the want of union . There were union among our oppressorsbo
, there was amoDg all robbers . ( Tremendous cheering . ) It was a melancholy fact , that wmnen , now do men ' s work in the factories , and their husband * stop at home ; therefore , two men were parading the streets , looking for one man ' s work , and this country , by the aid of machinery , bad become , as it -were , the workshop of the world , for in England alone they nowproduced more than all the people on the habitabla globe do by hand , and out of this extraordinary production we were only allowed for ourselves about four shillings of the pound , and if we offered to grumble , there were an host of state parsons ready to sentence us to everlasting damnation ; but what redress can we have , to whom complain , or make our wants known ; there were only two newspapers in England that would make our wants known to the world , the Northern Star and Northern Liberator . He sat down amidst tremendous cheering .
Mr . JONES came forward U support the resolution . He said although the people of Stockport had done all that they or any other people could have done , surrounded as they were with difficulties of such a formidable nature , viz ., paupers , lawyers , magistrates , and a corrupt press , especially theManchester Guardian—( tremendous groans and hisses )—thai they had applied to &U the preachers of the milk of human kindness to preach a charity sermon for them , but those Rev . Gentlemen told them they must submit to the powers that be , be thankful for the mercies they received , and
that even paid spies had been sent among them ; one fool of a fellow , for he could call him no better , had even the impudence to show them a sovereign and tell them he would do for some of them now , for I am well paid for it They had offered to refer the matter of dispute te the arbitration of three tradesmen , three master manufacturers , « ypfl three power loom weavers , but this they ( the masters ! would not do . They would only adhere to their statement they themselves had drawn up , and would not s » y that any other town in England was paying the sam * . A -rote of thanks were given to the people-ef Man Chester for the support they had received fwa them .

>< t PERSECUTION IN THE EAST . We hope that our abhorrence of oppression and cruelty , wherever they exist , will always be strong and readily expressed , whether the persecuted be foreigner or Englishman , black or white , Protestant or Catholic , Christian or Jew . We hold it to be a duty to look first at home , and to use our most strenuous effortB in the cause of our suffering countrymen , but God forbid that we should confine our philanthropy or desire for liberty within the boundaries of any one nation : no ! we pant for universal freedom—for universal justice ! We know .
that our readers are generally influenced by the Bame liberality of spirit , and , therefore , we offer no apology for laying before them the vile treatment of the unfortunate Jews at present residing in Damascus and Rhodes . The details are not only affecting , but are highly interesting ; for they develope the blind , unsparing zeal of persecution , and the means it adopts in order to obtain victims : they may also excite some pity in a Christian breast , and t « nd to dispel those absurd and wicked prejudices which are fostered and exercised against the stricken people of Jerusalem .
The Jewish nation is said at present to amount to nearly gix millions of souls , and so scattered are they over the face of the earth , that some of their tribe will be found in every civilized land . In different ages , they have been terribly massacred , but , in general , have been better treated by Mahometans and Pagans than by Christiana . In Britain , the life of a Jew , and all his goods , were formerly at the disposal of the chief Lord where he lived . So strong were the popular prejudices against them that , in the year 1348 , a fatal epidemic distemper raging in a great part of Europe , it was reported that they had poisoned the springs and wells , in
consequenco of which , a million and a half were cruelly massacred ! In 1493 , half a million of them were driven out of Spaiu , and fifteen thousand from Portugal . Edward I . of England seized on all their real estates , and banished them for ever from the kingdom . And yet , notwithstanding these trials , they still hold fast to tho faith of their fathers , and still cling fondly to the hope that their Messiah will appear . Impelled by grand and glorious associations-urged b y sanguine and exalted hopes , they pant after the Holy Land as their dwelling , and in that scene of their faded power , every Jew , however poor he may be , and however distant , feels a desire to spend his last moments .
Palestine at present is under the Mahometan dominion , but Jews and Christiana are tolerated by paying tribute . It is to the treatment of the former in the City of Damascus , ( which is near Jerusalem and under the Egyptian jurisdiction , ) and in the Island of R&odes , ( near Turkey , and one of the Ottoman States ) that we are about to refer . On the first of February last , there disappeared from Damascus a priest , together with his servant ; he exercised the profession of a physician and visited the houses of different sects for the purpose of vacci . nation . Tho next day there came persons into the
quarter of the Jews to look for him , stating that they had se en him and his servant in that part . They seized a Jewish barber , and accused him before the Governor , where he received 500 stripe 3 , and was subjected to other cruelties . He was at the same time urged to acouse all the Jews as accomplices and he , thinking by these means to relieve himself ) accused Beven of the most influential in the tribe , as instigating accomplices , who had offered him a large sum of money to murder the priest , as they required his blood for their Passover cakes ! He said that he had been deaf to their temptation and did not know
what had become of the priest and his servant . Upon this the Pasha ordered the accused persons to be arrested and punished with blows and other torments of the most cruel description . They were then imprisoned , and daily , with chains round their necks , were exposed to most severe beatings and cruelties , and were compelled to stand without food for fifty honrs together . Many other Jews , together with the Rabbins , were put in chains and shamefully tortured ; the Government then caused sixty-four Jewish children to be taken from the college and thrown into prison , allowed them nothing but bread and water ,
and forbade their mothers to visit them , in hopes thus to obtain a confession from the parents . One Jew expired under the torments . The governor with a body of 60 t men , proceeded to demolish the houses of the Jewish subjects , but not finding the dead body , he again inflicted on his victims farther castigation . Incapable of bearing such prolonged anguish , they preferred death , and confessed that the calumny was true I The Governor , hearing this confession , asked them where they had secreted the blood , to which one of them replied that it had been put into a bottle and delivered to one of the prisoners , who declared he knew nothing of it , received l , 00 t stripes in order to extort a oon / ession . Other
insupportable torments at length compelled him to confess that the bottle was in his house . It was searched ; but only money was found which the Governor seized , and the Jew said he had * made the declaration hoping that the money would save him . Upon this the torments were repeated , and he , to save himself , embraced MahomeUnism ; most of the others having declared that they only confessed to avoid torture , were ordered to be hanged , and were only respited by the entreaties of the French Consul . From the last intelligence they have been in this misery for * month , and still continue to bo so . The Jewa are not permitted to go out .
At Rhodes , a Greek boy was lost , and it was asaerted by the Christians that the Jews had killed him . All the European Consuls obtained permission to investigate the affair and cited before them a Jew against whom some evidence had been given . H « was put in irona , many stripes were inflicted upon him , red-hot wires were rim through his nose , burning bones were applied to his head , and a v « ry heavy stone was laid upon his breast .
Thetomentors stated openly that they desired to exterminaU the Jews from Rhodes , or to compel them to change their religion , and added that if their victim would confess , he should be immediately set at liberty . The poor Jew at length resorted to falsehoods and calumniated many of his brethron . They were arrested and tortured ; the Jewish quarter was surrounded by guards , and they were even refused the favour of presenting a petition to the Pasha of the city .
Thus we sea how rapidly the flam © of persecution spreads ! It has ever been thus , and we have cause to fear that the Jews will be maltreated in every country , wher « a despotic power exists , and the freedom of the press dares not to intrude . It is evident that in Damascus there is a resolution to oppress , andj if possible , exterminate the Jewish inhabitants . This spirit has communicated itself to Rhodes , and he unfortunate chil dren of Israel are again exposed to those miseries which they Buffered during the dark , fanatio and cruel ages .
The Jewish community in Constantinople , not being themselves able to interfere , as they are subject to a Government , not on friendly terms with the Pasha of Egypt , have addressed a letter to Messrs ' . Da Rothschild , in London , explaining the wretchedness of their brethren , and imploring for relief . These gentlemen summoned a meeting in London ; several resolutions were agreed to , a large sum ( nearly £ 7 , 000 ) wa » subscribed , and some
influential members , including Sir Moses MosTKFiojuB , at once proceed to the East to plead the cause of the oppressed . Thus have we extracted from a mass of documents , what appears to be the true statement of the whole case . Ab to the confetsimas extorted , they can have mo > Weight against the Jews , as we may see that they were absolutely driven into making thjun ,. by the horrible tortures threatened and infiiotod on the one hand , and the inducement held fcjrf&t m the other .

Black— " Tha-t , considering the plans of I agitation laid down by the meeting of Scottish dele-I gates at Glasgow—the appointing of a Central Com-! mntee for Scotland , to watch over and conduct the 1 movement , and having formally united and approved : of their mode of conducting the movement , we | deem it inexpedient to send or unite in sending a | delegate to Manchester ; and further , we think that
if the Radicals of England wish to unite with those of Scotland , they should ha \ e consulted and communicated through the Central Committee in Glasgow . " 5 th . Moved by Mr . Melville , and seconded by Mr . D . Elder— "That John Collins , William Lovett , and Dr . M'Douall , if he is at liberty about the same time , be invited to Fifeshire to an entertainment , as expressive of our admiration of their patriotic and unflinching zeal in the cause of liberty and humanitv . "
6 th . Moved by Mr . D . Elder , and seconded by Mr . John lleadi©— " That Kettle or its neighbourhood be the place of entertainment , as being the most central for all parts of the county ; and that the _ following committee , with powers to add to their number , be appointed to make the necessary arrangements : —Messrs . D . Rollo , Jas . Moyes , John Leslie . Wm . Swan , George Mackarsie , and Robert Russell . " Considerable discussion arose about the form of a place , and the kind of entertainment , when it was
at last agreed that a pavilion be erected of cloth or such like , and that 66 . be the price of admittance . The Chairman was appointed to communicate the wishes of the delegates to the prisoners , and wishing their acquiescence in the same . An address was also agreed upon , to be drawn up by the Central Committee , and presented to the individuals , should they find it convenient to attend . The delegates having agreed to meet again on the day of the entertainment , at ten o ' clock , a . m ., and thanks being voted to the Chairman and to the Secretary for his gratuitous services , the meeting broke up .
KINROSS . Whig and Tobt Loyalty at Discount . —A public meeting of the inhabitants of this town , called by requisition , was held in the County Hall , on Monday the 22 nd ult ., the Sheriff Substitute in the chair , to memorialise her Majesty on her recent escape from the treasonable attempts of the assassin , when about forty (!) persons attended , including a few of the working classes , who were drawn from motives of curiosity to witness the mode by which the factions evinced their loyalty . Also , at the suggestion of the Lord Lieutenant of the County , a County meeting was held on Wednesday , the 24 th , in the same place , for the same purpose , when thirteen (!!) gentlemen congregated to mark their detestation of
high treason in its worst complexion , two or three of the working classes , and one or two of the town officials , swelling the number to twenty ! !! The chairman made a clumsy apology for the smallness of the meeting , by inferring that the county being so noted for its loyalty , gentlemen considered their absence wonld in no ways deteriorate its character , and thus its empty name was left to support it . But the truth must out . The proper reason for the failures of the above meetings is , the productive classes having found out that with all their professions of loyalty the middle classes are invariably silent on the miseries of tho poor , determined on having a memorial of their own . Mr . Roberts , from Brechin , having accidentally called here , the Working Men ' s Association convened a public- meeting of the inhabitants , on Monday evening , the 22 nd ult .
, in their Association- room , to hear a lecture from him on the present deplorable condition of the working classes . The meeting-house was crowded ; the lecture was spirited ; and at its close , a petition t « the House of Commons , condoling , through its medium , with her most gracious Majesty on her late escape frem assassination , praying them to beseech her Majesty to grant an act of amnesty to Feargus O'Connor , and all the other political prisoners , and to recommend to her Majesty the dismissal of her present Ministry , as having lost the confidence of the nation , and to take to her counsel such persons as would make Universal Suffrage a Cabinet question , was unanimously adopted . Thus , it would appear , after all , the working classes are the only body here who are desirous or expressing their loyalty in anything like decent numbers .
MOUNTSORREL .

""'endure beyond a certainjinejand it is a well attested fact , that , in the days of ignorance , many persons accused of sorcery , * in order to avoid torture , confessed that they were witches ! Well might the Marquis Beccaria propose as a problem— "The force of the muscles and the sensibility of the nerves of an innocent person being givea , it is required to find the degree of pain necessary to make him confess himself guilty of a given crime . " And now that we have concluded this tale of woe , many reflections arise from the nature of our sub-^^ - ^^ - •^
ject . First—We behold how monstrous a thing is persecution in every shape—in every form ! How blind to truth and reason ! How borne away by prejudice , by folly , and by cruelty ! We see the remnant of an ancient people , even at this day , exposed to unmerited cruelty and to vile injustice . Nay ! ( and we blush to tell it ) in Rhodes , the persecutors are themselves Christians !—{ by name . ) But why should we wonder when we daily experience the persecution of Christians in this land ?
Secondly—We behold the Jews in Constantinople and in England—and probably in other conntries it will be the same—rushing eagerly to the aid of their unfortunate brethren . Let the Christian take a lesson from this . Let him remember how many suffering brethren there are of the same creed and the same country , as himself . Let him see them , poor—persecuted—oppressed—aye ! and imprisoned ' —then mark tho liberal zeal of the Jewish people , and at once go and do likewise .
That religion , which he professes , and which the Jew denies , is filled with noble sentiments ot charity , of freedom , and of generosity . It bears as its motto , " peace on earth , and good will towards man "—it exhorts " to love our neighbour as ourselves "—and " to do to others as we would be done unto . " He that neglects this—which is the very basis of Christianity—is no Christian .

George Swan-Was the driver of the Highbury omnibus in April last . Recollects a lady and gentl ' man getting into it at the Bank . The gentleman he knew was Mr . Thorn , the defendant He put them down a * the end of Highbury-terrace . They went into Highbury grove , and returned , having forgot the brown , paper parcel , Which he gave them . He then directed them the way across the fields to Hornsey-road , where the defendant had a cottage , called Allmand Cottage . The deposition of Mrs . Pascoe was put in and read . It stated that she haid travelled with Mrs . Morgan to town in'the Ealing omnibus , and pointed her out to Ballard and Goddard .
William Ballard was formerly in the old police . He was employed by Mr . Morgan , the plaintiff ' s fathery to watcn tlie movements of Mrs . Morgan , and on the 17 th of March he and Goddard were in the Uxbridge coach going to Ealing , when they overtook a lady on horseback . She recojpised the coachman , and , from the conversation they had with him , they got off the coach at Eahng , and went towards town to meet her , which they did , and took such notice of her that they could know her again . They employed a Mrs . Pascoe to give them information when she came to town in the omuibus . and to accompany her , so that , by her getting out of the omuibuB , and giving them a signal , they could know whether she ( Mrs . Morgan ) was in it . The signal was to hold her handkerchief in her hand and shake it
They watched for several days at H yde-park-corner , and on the 7 th of April they saw Mrs . Pascoe get off the omnibus , and she gave them the signal , and they immediately took a cab and followed the omnibus , and Mrs . Morgan was let down at Ely-plaoe . She then entered a house , and , after a few minutes came out , accompanied by a gentleman , whom they subsequently ascertained was the defendant , Mr . Thorn . They walked about for some tune . in Hatton-garden ; they then parted , and . Mrs . Morgan went into a house in Cursitor-strett ; she remained there for some considerable time , and then wont on to . tho bank , whera she was joined by the ; defendant , who had a brown paper parcel in his hand . They got into tho Highbury omnibus , and he and Goddard got on the outside , and Mrs . Morgan and Mr . Thorn out
got at the ond of Highbury-place , and were directed across the fields to the Hornsey-road , They followed . them , and saw them enter a cottage at the rear ; on going to the front , they found it was AHmacdcottage , occupied by the defendant . Tiny remained there until about a quarter before ten o ' clock , when tha defendant and Mrs . Morgan drove out of the yard in a gig towards town . On the 10 th of April Mrs . Morgan again came to town , and was let down at the corner of Ely-place , but walked on to Torrington-square . when she was . joined by the defendant , who handed her into his gig ; they drove off , and they lost sight of them . On the 14 th she again came to town and was set down at Ely-place , and was then joined by the defendant , and after walking together for some Short time they again separated . She went afterwards to a house m-Cursitor-street , where she remained some time ; she went over BJackfriars-bridge , to Blackfriarsroadwhere
, the defendant was waiting with his gig and horse : they got into it : Goddard and he immediately took a cab and followed them . They drove to Dartford , and stopped at the George and Bull , where they dined and slept . On the following morning Goddard . and he went to the George and Bull , and told the waiter and the housemaid to observe them ; they wereinformed that they occupied sitting-room No . 4 , and bed-room No . 12 . Th « defendant and Mrs . Morgan returned to town in the gig about two o ' clock the next day . He served the writ of summons on the defendant in his shop , who is an oilman , corner of Queen-street , Holboru . When he served the defendant , he said that he supposed it was on account of his attending the trial of Lawford v . Morgan , and said that it waa a sad mew , but he supposed that he should see and endeavour to g * t out of it the best way he could . He wus paid for his time and expenses by old Mr . Morgan : he received between £ 60 and £ 80 .
Cross-examined—Was formerly in the old police . Now is in private practice . Is employed by a great number of solicitors . Do not think the occupation of a spy a disgraceful one . Did not think he was acting the part of a spy when he dogged the defendant and Mrs . Morgan . Was paid by old Mr . Morgan . Ha charged a guinea a day for his time , and expenses besides . Hopes to be paid for the days he has been employed since he received the last money . He knows he will be wanted on the divorce , and expects to be paid until all the business is over . William Goddard , police-officer—Heard the evidence of the last witness . It is quite correct Cross-examined—Never said that the present proceeding -was a most infamous one . Charged a guinea a day for his time . He also charged expenses . Mr . Morgan , sen ., paid him between £ G 0 and £ 70 .
Mi-Kelly submitted that the action could not be sustained , inasmuch as it was not proved that the plaintiff could be cognizant of it , he having gone to India lone before it commenced , and it was , therefore , necessarr to have his consent Mr . Thesiger , in reply , quoted some cases which had decided that point . Lord ' Abinger thought the present ease quite a new one . Bethought the plaintiff should not be ignorant of the proceedings . He might not wish to separate from his wife . It did not appear that he did any voluntary act to resign her society . Under all th » circumstances he thought , as « nly nominal damage were sought , that a verdict might be taken for them , with liberty to move the full court for a non-suit Mr . Kelly said he would prefer to take the oplnioa of the Jury on the fact , as to whether the identity of the parties were sufficiently proved , and his Learned Friend ( Mr . Phillips ) would address them .
Mr . Phillips said that he was quite unexpectedly called upon to address them , and the only knowleda * which he had of the case was what he gleaned from the proceedings , as his brief was only handed to him oa his entering court . He , therefore , had to claim their indulgence . The question which he had to call their attention to , was that of the identity of the parties and the testimony upon which it -was sustained . He nevesv in the whole course of his experience , heard of saeb a case , a plaintiff coming into court , and asking only nominal damages . Now , let them dispassionately look at the entire case . Here was a young lady , brought m > by a tender mothei in the most virtuoms mamner an * upon whose character , up to the time of her mairW there , was not the slightest impmUtion attempted to lw
cast She had received the professio « s of an honourable attachment and yielded to them , and became tb * wife of him who professed them . It was tree that , in p « lnt of station she might be humbler and mow lowly , still those perfections which eaptivated him were decorated by virtue . She confided to his hooow , and gave him her best affections : though humbler ia rank , still she wm m worthy » f aay elavatioa he co *! five her . He ( the Learned Comasel ) was one wh * thought the marriage selection should be free , as mia happiness was to be found in a connection with on * who , though in a lowly station , possessed the jewel of virtue , as one who had nothing to xeoommrad then but the fictitious elevation of rank . When the father of the plaintiff was consmltiBg his own feeliag * and in
pride dissolving a connection which he thomrh * beneath him , he did not think tbex * waa aaother person ' s fetliags to b * consulted , and that a parent , to * widowed motker of this unfortunate young lady wh » was overwhelmed with aagmiah at her beloved ehUd been sunk down to misery , wretchedaess , aad cenadv tion , her feelings were n * t to be thoight of , the hiffc society in which Mr . Morgan moved amst be eoaciliated . A new system of things now seemed to prevail , fomsztethe freedom of Englishmen was their boast , tai how often had it been thrown in the teeth of Francs their system of wpUnage . Here was Mr . Morgan gattiiK this unfortunate young lady dogged . She eoald agfc move without being followed . Even her dress and bar dogs were faithfully described . But wpon what testi
mony were they to be satisfied as to the identity of to * parties : ? Were they to trust to the oath of o » e wh » thinks the occupation of a spy an honowabl * one—* spy , which every honest man shrinks from ! Ha wonld be glad to know where the man could be found wh » would consent for any consideration to W poiatet oat in the street , and have it said There goes the spy JWhat was the witness Ballard 7 Was he not aa W police-effioer , and now let loose on society , at a spy at a guinea * -d » y > Could any man be safe if saeh characters existed ? Could they belisve the man who w » stimulated by gain to procure evidence t Was it net bought and paid for ? therefore , could it be credited t Ought any man to be believed who eonld bear the intolerant burden of his conscious degradation j and sun more so when he audaciously told them that he though

It was not their standard « f morality ; * lm very atmosphere which Bach a character breathed ws » tainted . Let them look at the position of this « nfort » nato young woman .

CLAIMS OF THE EMPLOYED . " Give unto every man his due , " and " every labourer is worthy of his hire , " are principles so just and so laudable , that they have become maxims , and are continually in the mouths of all . But , alas ! they are nothing more than maxims—mere wordssound-signifying nothing . What is a word without a deed ? an intention without an action 1 a theory without a practice ? Nothing ! and yet as much as
, with regard to utility , are tho above passages . Oh ! yea ; give to every man his due , exclaim the Poor-Law Commissioners , when they dole out the wretched pittance to miserable paupera . Every labourer is worthy of his hire , say the Landlords , when they keep their lands in pasturage , and thus have no employment for labour . So say the Manufacturers , when they pay three or four shillings a week for the hardest toil . Yet ,
" Words aro but Wind , Actions speak the mind !" And if we look any where within our reach , we shall see that in uo placa is truly useful labour rewarded according to its valuo and its deserts . The poor may toil aud slave away from morning to night , and yet hardly obtain sufficient for the mere sustenance of life . Some years since , the Poor-Law Commissioners issued the following questions , and received the following answers from the Agricultural parishes : —
1 . What in the whole might an average labourer , obtaining an average amount of employment , both ill day-wovk , and in piece-work , expect to earn in the year , including harvest work , and the value of all his other advantages and means of living , except parish relief ? 2 . What in the whole might a labourer ' s wife and four children , aged 14 , 11 , 8 , and 5 years respectively , ( the eldest a boy ) expect to earn in the year , obtaining , as in the former case , an average amouat of employment \ Note the comprehensiveness of the question , including every possible means and every favourable contingency , and yet what was the answer ?
806 Parishes give for the man an average of 427 17 10 668 Parishes , for wife and children , an average of J 3 I 9 l 0 Average annual income of tho family ... £ 41 17 0 S . Could such a family subsist on the aggregate earnings of the father , mother , and children ; and if so , on what food ? This question was answered by 899 parishes ; 71 said " No ! " 212 said " Yes ; ' 125 answered " Barely or without meat ! " 491 said with meat . ( Senior on Foreign Poor-Laws and Labourers . ) Now if we recollect who it was
that sent the questions , and who that returned the answers in this caso , we shall not be wrong in calculating a far greater number of parishes where the labourer cannot subsist by his wages . However , taking it from bo suspioious a source , we find seventy-one saying they could not subsist , and 125 that they conld barely do so , or must do so without meat !! Ia not this dreadful , and yet , will it be believed , the Poor Law Committioners dared to use this a sa means for lowering the workhouse allowance . They Baid that the pauper waa fed better than the labourer , and , therefore , as
it held out a premium for pauperism and idleness , the pauper ' s fare should be lowered . ?• The diet of the workhouse , " say they , " almost always exceeds that of the cottage , and the diet of the gaol is generally more profuse than even that of the workhouse . The work required from the pauper is commonly inferior to that performed by the labourers . " In the first place , what an awful disclosure is this . The once happy and prosperous English labourer feeds and lives worse than a pauper or a felon { In the second , what fallacious reasoning is here ! Does it prove that the pauper should be fed worse than
before ! No ! far from it , but that the labourer should be recompensed better . The workman should be elevated , ntt the pauper degraded I But they say wages are good , and better than in foreign countries . We answer , how can they be good wages , which are not sufficient to preserve life ! That even these wages are but seldom prooured ; and that in foreign lands , though they pay but little in money , they add food to it , and also that the purchase of provisions abroad is not anything like bo expensive as in England . Remember that the above wages , too , are only given to agricultural labourers : bear in mind
the trifle allowed for the hard toil of the artisan . and then see in how miserable a condition are the English workaen . And yet these very men , bo vilely recompensed , are making the fortunes of those for whom they work . O , shame ! where is thy blush ? One of the chief causee of destitution lies in the capitalist exacting for himself an immense profit , while he grudges the workman , by whose means he obtains it , the poor sum he is obliged to give up to him . Ia this justice t We call upon all masters , in the sacred name of humanity ana of justice , to remember from whom they obtain their wealth , and to recompense labour according to ita true value .
