He told him that he was quite prepared to meet his unhappy fate , and -rrould die happy if his wife would only tell the truth . He informed Mr . Binns that he * took with him some railway shares to Jersey , which he destroye 1 before his apprehension , a descri ption of which he handed for the benefit of Mr . O'Connor ' s family . They whl no doubt be restored b y the company -vho issued them . This will clearly show
that the murdered man was possessed of considerable property in railway shares , which were useless to any one except the real owner . On being asked -where th ? crowbar ' was he Stated that It COuld be found at . - ; railway station , naming the place . He directed IU : Binns to dispose of aU his property , and after p sying all demands for legal expences , to hand over iae surplnsto his brother Edmund .

• MANNING TO HIS WIFE . "I stress you as a fellow-sinner , and a fellowsufferer , = • - i not as my wife , since the contract must be co . s :: r ^ 'l as cancelled , extending , as it does , only navl Heath , and not beyond it , and both of us standing « - . s we do on the brink of eternity , we may already consider ourselves as cut off from the world . The . consciousness of this truth does not , however , prevent me from expressing my earnest solicitude -i-r the happiness of your soul , as well as my own . I ^ o therefore beseech aud implore of you to be tmi .,: ; ii in all 70 a utter , and that yon may not be tempt e to yield to any evil suggestions in tbe seeming o- pur soul ' s welfare , to question for an instant tus solemn truth that we shall shortly appear before owe God in judgment , that His eye is upon us now , the time , though not , so far as I can learn , precisely fixed when we are to be launched into eternity , but we may be quite sure and
certain that it is close at hand ; and now , by all kindly fvviings we have at any time entertained towards t r .-j ; i other , I earnestly pray that you will look to Gel : for the pardon you need , and of which I feel my j-vn need also .

Jealousy And Revenge. (From Galignani's ...
JEALOUSY AND REVENGE . ( From Galignani ' s Messenger . ) Many of our readers will remember the attempt made in Parie in August last , by a person named Maigneiz , a dealer in flour at Montarg is , to murder a clerk in the treasury , named Vaillemet , who had seduced his wife . Mai gneiz , accompanied by another inhabitant of Montargis , named Salmon , had watched at a wine-shop for the appearauce of Vail-Wt , on his way to the office in the morning ; and w ^ V'F- ^ ' ^ eiz , who had in his picket two loaded pistols which he had just purchased for 240 f ., wcntup to him , and desired that he would go immediatel y with hhu to tbe Bois de Boulogne to fi g ht a duel Vaillemet having refused to fight the "' ° * e plea that he had not arranged hi .
. ^ 7 . ?™^ , and moving oft ; Mai gniez drew forth ^ of J » w pistols , and firing it , the ball entered the back of hB victim , who is still sufferin ? much from ms wound . For this crime Maigniez was brought to trial before the Paris Court of Assize on Saturday ™? ' e « ™< m . was arraigned as his accomplice , the facts of this case , as they came out on the interrogation of the prisoner , and the evidence , were very interest ing . It appears that in 1836 Maigniez married the daughter of an inhabitant of Montargis , without tortune , b y whom he had children before marriage . Ihe circumstances , however , as stated bv one of the witnesses , were hi g hl y honourable to Maigniez , who , although a man of violent temper , was highly esteemed in Montargis , for his generosity and probity . The witness in question had been requested
oy the lather of the female to call upon Maigniez , and threaten him , if he did not marry the girl , her father would kill Mm . The threat had no effect upon Mai gniez , but shortly afterwards the father himself saw him , and then he said— " I feel that yoa have a ri ght to demand satisfaction for the seduction of your daughter , and this is what I propose . Arm yourself with a pistol . "We will stand at twenty paces distance . You shall fire at me , and if you miss , instead of firing at you I will demand the hand of your daughter m marriage . " The father refused to avail himself of this offer , and on his refusal , Maigniez declared that he would marry the daughter , and he kept his word . This was in the year 1836 . Maigniez and his wife lived together
in happiness for some years . Vaillemet was then an inhabitant of Montargis , and having on one occasion rendered some service to Maigniez , the latter became attached to him , received him with kindness at his house , and from time to time lent him money to the extent of 4 , 000 f . The return for this kindness was the seduction of the wife . The adultery was discovered by the brother ofthe husband , who , after declaring to the wife that if she did not abandon her criminal relations with Vaillemet he would apprise her husband , kept the secret for some time ; but being at length indi gnant at seeing the seducerfrom time to time applying to his brother for pecuniary assistance , he told the latter what had
occurred . Maigniez then interrogated the wife , who confessed her crime , and challenged Vaillemet , who promised to fig ht , but requested time to arrange his affairs . This was granted , but Vaillemet left Montargis , and for a long time Mai gniez could not learn where he had gone to . He then addressed letters to the relatives and friends of Vaillemet , requesting his address , and declaring that , if he did not give him satisfaction in a duel , he would , if he discovered him , shoot him like a dog . Maigniez was tried for these threatening letters , but acquitted on a promise not to put his threat into execution . His desire for vengeance , however , induced him to break his promise , and his search after the seducer was renewed .
In June last he found him out , and came to Paris . He again challenged Vaillemet , who again asked for time to arrange his affairs . Maigniez consented , but at Montargis , the notary charged with the arrangement of the affairs of Vaillement told him that they were not terminable , and Mai gniez returned to Paris in August with Salmon , as already stated . At the trial on Saturday , Maigniez expressed no compunction for what he had done , but , on the contrary , said , that if condemned to . death , he should still have the satisfaction of his own
conscience . It appeared that , after the committal of the attempted murder in August , he wrote to Montarg is to desire that a black dress might be purchased for his wife , in which she could mourn her lover , that the pistol with which he had fired at Vaillemet should be givsfd to his eldest son , as a mark that the honour of the family had been avenged , and that over the door of his house should ba placed the account of his wife ' s infidelity . M . Lachaud made an affecting defence for Maigniez , and thanked the counsel for the
prosecution for not alluding to extenuating circumstance ? . In concluding the defence , 31 . Lachaud , addressing his client , urged him to forgive his wife . Maigniez , much affected , said , " Yes , gentlemen of the jury , I promise , whatever your verdict may be , to forgive my wife . " The jury re t urned a verdict of acquittal in favour of both prisoners . Ou quitting the bar when discharged , Maigniez was surrounded by the witnesses from Montargis , who had come forward to give evidence to the excellence of his moral character , and warmly congratulated by them on his acquittal .

Seriovs Charge os Mcrdeu at Mitcheldeax , Gloucestershire . —An inquest was held at Lon « fhope , near Gloucester , on Friday , by the countycoroner , on view of the bod y of a female infant , the illegitimate offspring of a young woman named Mary Ann Parry , the daughter of a farmer living there . Is appears that the young woman had been living witii another woman , named Caroline JJampron , at a house at Longhope , and that , on the 1 st October last , the girfParry was delivered of a child , but , as it appears , without any medical or other aid . The child , was represented as having been born dead , hut was kept in the house for upwaads of three weeks . At
the expiration of that time Parry wrapped it up in a piece of linen , and took it iu a pail to a field on her father ' s farm , where her brother had dug a hole to receive it , and there it was buried . The circumstances coming to the ears of the authorities , the body was exhmned , and the inquest was , after an adjournment , formally brought to a close on Fridav when the jury returned a verdict of " manslaughter " ' against Parry and Hampton , who stand committed for trial at the next Gloucestershire assizes . Two medical gentlemen from Gloucester made ' a po < t mortem examination ofthe body of the child and v . ere decidedly of opinion tha t it had hcen ' born al i ve , and had lived a short time . They , however considered that death had been caused by suffocation '
Metropolitan Trades Conference. Adjourne...
metropolitan trades conference . adjourne tTmeeting . This body resumed its sitting at the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , Tottenham-courtroad , on Wednesday evening , November Uth ; Mr . John Seagrave , operative tailor , again occup ied the chair . The Secretary , ( Mr . A . Delaforce , ) much to the ETatificatiou ofthe delegates , p laced in each of their
hands a reprint from the Northern Star , of the report of the preceding sitting . The m i nutes of tho last meeting were then read , and on the motion of Messrs . Leslie and Briseh ; confirmed . Mr . Pbel complained that the type founders , for whom he appeared , were not mentioned in the several newspaper reports which had appeared . A letter was read from Mr . Richard H yson , announcing " that a company was formed for the purpose of establishing a newspaper by and for the Trades . "
BUSINESS OF IHE EVENING . Mr . Esser moved that the " Bill for promoting a sufficiency of industrial , beneficial , and profitable employment of the working classes , " be read and discussed clause by clause , which was seconded and carried . ¦ The preamble having been read , Mr . Fm doubted the propriety of placing in tho title of the bill the words " for purchasing the estates of private individuals . " The Secretar said , the machinery of the bill rendered this recital necessary . Messrs . EssEBYand Wilson concurred in what fell from the Secretary , and thoug ht , had Mr . Peel read the bill carefully , he would have seen this . Mr . Pbei ,: expressed himself satisfied . The first and second clauses ofthe preamble having been read
, Mr . A . Campbell said , he should like our op inion to be registered " that it was the first duty of the government to protect and encourage British industry . " He would move that a clause to that effect be added . He wished simply to put forth tbe . ^ op inion of the trades , that it was the most important duty ofthe government to protect British industry , and if they did not they would be unworthy the confidence ofthe people . Mr . Esser suggested to Mr . Campbell , that a general clause relative to the duty of government should precede all the others . After a few words from Mr . Peel ,
Mr . Campbell said he wished simply that their opinions should be emphatically set forth . Mr . A . Campbell then moved the following , in accordance with several suggestions made , as his resolution : —• " That it is the first duty of every government to encourage and protect British industry , and thereb y promote the elevation of all classes . That any government which cither neglects or refuses to encourage and protect British industry and capital , so as to insure a comfortable subsistence as a reward for labour , fails in performing its first and most important trust , and because of its neglect or incompetency is no longer worthy to direct the affairs of the nation , or deserve the confidence ofthe people . " Mr . Peel seconded it . Mr . Delafobce objected to the latter part , as being more of a want of confidence then as a preamble to a bill .
Mr . Febdisando thought the preamble , as i stood , was better than the amendment . Messrs . Esser and Isaac W il son thought that the following was far better suited to the purpose than that submitted by Mr . Campbell : — " And whereas it is the boundeu duty of all governments to provide for the general well-being of the working classes of the empire over which they preside , and any government failing therein , fails in its most important duty . " Those gentlemen emphatically expressed their feelings that they were assembled to promote the interests , and gain protection for the working classes . " Mr . Edward Edwards moved the following resolution : — " That it is the first duty of all governments to protect the industry of those governed , and that any government neglecting this great duty , fails to fulfil its chief obligation . " Mr . G . Read seconded this amendment .
Mr . Ferdixasdo supported it . Mr . Tafferel ( carpenter ) was glad that this " protection " did not mean such " protection " as that understood by the " monopolists " Richmond , Buckingham , and that class ; but , at the same time he preferred the motion promoted by Messrs . Essery and Wilson . Mr . Esser y said protection , in truth , was a principle , not a party ; and he wished that to be set forth in the bill , which could be defended , and no
more . Mr . Cjimpbell was wishful to withdraw his motion . . Mr . Pbel objected to the withdrawal . Mr . Campbell then suggested that the whole of these resolutions should be amalgamated , as in spirit they were alike . After a few words from Mr . Edwards , as to the phraseology of the motions , claiming the superiority for his own , Mr . Brisck suggested that the word " provide " should be substituted for " protect . " Mr . Esseky thought the purpose of tho bill was so clear that it was impossible any cavilling could occur in respect to it . Mr . Broweti ( carpenter ) thoug ht whatever resolution should be adopted , it should contain both words— " provide " and " protect . "
The several resolutions were then put , and Mr . Edwards' was carried by a majority of three as an addition to the preamble . Tho second clause was then carried 2 > ro forma , as was the third . On the fourth being read , Mr . Edwards moved the omision of the words " whilst there are stores of food laid up by any individual . Mr . Esser y thoug ht the words objected to most appropriate . No seconder being found for Mr . Edwards' amendment , the fourth , fifth , and ninth clauses wore carried The words " colonies" having been suggested by Mr . Campbell after the words " Land in England , Wales , Scotland , and Ireland , "
Mr . A . Campbell stated that in Halifax and New Brunswick , five million acres of land was offered by the government of those provinces , together with a large sum of money to carry out the principle . Mr . Brisck said , he thought it not appropriate , as the Bill related to Ilomo Colonics , simp ly . Mr . Essery said , he could not look upon Halifax or New Brunswick . Mr . EdwIrds coincided with Mr . Essery , and thoug ht that there was p lenty of land at homeand illustrated his thoughts by statistics , showing tint the land in the United Kingdom was far more ample for the support of more than the prosent population . - Mr . Campbell withdrew his proposition in favour ofthe word " colonies , '' and the clause was adopted , as also was the eighth . The ninth clause having been read
Mr . Browett said , that his clause having been inserted in Mr . Edward ' s amendment , it should be expunged , and moved accordingly . Mr . Campbell seconded the motion , but after a little discussion , in which Messrs . Essery , Edwards , Browett , and Campbell took part , the motion was withdrawn and the clause passed . The tenth and last clause was also carried . Mr . Campbell then moved " the adoption of the preamble of the bill as a whole , leaving its arrangement with the Committee of Management ; " wh i ch was adopted . The two first clauses of the bill having been gone through , the third , "finding tho means for carrying Home Colonies out , " was submitted , upon which
Mr . Edwards moved the adjournment ofthe Conference until Wednesday evening next , November 21 st , at eight o clock precisely , which was carried by a largo majority . Tlie Conference still maintains tho animation which characterised its first sitting , The delegates were equally numerous , and the debates were conducted with the greatest propriety . Tho subject cannot fail to interest the operatives of tho whole kingdom .

Sib , —May I solicit tho insertion of the " main features of a Bill for Home Colonies , which at the request of the Metropolitan Trades Delegates I pi' 0 < paved and submitted for their approval , It will also be a complete refutation of the assertion in Mr .

Peel ' s letter , which appeared in your journal of the 27 th of October last , wherein it is alleged that I have taken my views from the monthly report of the society of which ho is the secretary , whereas the principles enunciated in the bill here proposed , demanding Legislative sanction , are totally different from anything propounded in the report alluded to , which every one will see who
are acquainted with Mr . Peel ' s society . I shall not trouble you with tho insertion of the preamble , or the details of the bill , but go at once to the main features of the princi pal clauses The 1 st clause provides that " Her Majesty ' s government shall constitute a-board of-six commissioners for superintending the ' establishment of lloine Colonies for the industrial employment Of the working classes ; one half of siich board of commiss i oners to be men most skilled , and practicall y experienced , iu the various industrial occupations for the employment of tho working classes in the industrial establishments contemplated by this act "

. ...... 3 th . — "And be it further enacted , that the board of commissioners have full power and authority by this act to purchase on behalf of the State , by agreement with tho proprietor or proprietors of such lands , as parties may wish to sell by private contract , or by public sale . " The 6 th clause refers to the legal form of transfer of lands mortgaged , or otherwise encumbered , or impeded in their profitable cultivation , but the 7 th clause empowers the commissioners to enclose , on behalf of the-State , ( by which I mean the entire peop le , ) both Crown lands and common lauds , and , in snort , to purchase all the territorial possessions of this country , and thenceforth to become national property , and to be applied in the maimer specified in

"
8 th . — "And be it further enacted , that all lands so purchased by commissioners on : behalf of the State , shall not again be made saleable under any conditions whatsoever , but shall thenceforth become national property , placed under the protection of the State . Now , sir , this is a very different process of procuring land and capital for the establishment of Home Colonies , than a mere weekly contribution scheme ; and , although I do not expect that ' Her Majesty ' s government' will be likel y to bring forward any individual scheme ofthe character or magnitude here proposed , I nevertheless affirm , that before tho emancipation of labour can be entirely completed some such plan as the one proposed must obtain legislative sanction . It is , therefore , to
create a powerful and universally enlightened public opinion , which can alone , secure a Parliament that will recognise tho rights of labour , that I once more call upon the Trades of Groat Britain and Ireland to band themselves together in one great National Confederation . At the same time let all be done that can possibly be effected by co-operation , and the collection o f cap ital for association purposes among the trades themselves . For instance , lobserve that the eordwainors of the City of London have formed a co-operative society , and none will rejoice to hear of their success more than myself . If there be other associations of a similar character I shall be equall y g lad to hear of their success . But while I argue that the Trades can and ought to do much forthemsclves in this way , I at the same time wish to guard them against being led into a belief that the emancipation of labour can ever bo
comp leted while the entire social and legislatorial power ofthe State is in tho hands of men whose order have ruled the world by force for ages . What would have become of that powerful propairandism which will yet emancipate the world , and which have roused Europe from her slumbers , and driven kings trom their thrones , if the heroes of France , Italy , and Hungary , had taught the people that the road to freedom lay entirely through a threepenny or sixpenny weekly contribution , instead of teaching them that government have duties to perform to the people which they ought to be made to fulfil ? Why tho party of a European democracy would nowhere havo existed , —and probably , as in the case of M . Cabet and others by the French government , —subscriptions might at any time be pronounced illegal by the men who are determined to uphold the old regime . u Alfred ' A . Waltox .
National Association Of United Trades. E...
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES . Established 1845 . Tho Central Committee of the above Association , have the satisfaction to have it in their power to add another to the eminent successes which have attended Mr . Green thus early in his present tour . On returning to Birmingham from Davcntry—tho scene of his last triumph , as reported last week—he was requested by Mr . Holmes—the Association ' s agent in Birmingham—to attend a meeting of the wire-weavers of that town , who had struck work for an advance of wages—their present inadequate remuneration , together with an . unusual briskness
in their trade at the present time , rendering such a step opportune as well as just . Mr . Green assented to wait . on the men ; aiid upon inquiry being satisfied that their claims for an advance were reasonable , and that the time was exceedingly opportune , at once agreed to wait upon the principal employers , who were the chief difficulty to overcome . He was received by them , and engaged in arguing with them the merits of the case for nearl y six hours , when they at length—rather reluctantly —consented to an advance of-Jifty per cent , upon the present prices . It is needless to add that the men were more than satisfied at the unexpected success which had attended ' Mr . Green ' s labours , and paid him , we believe with great sincerity , the
vote of thanks usual upon such occasions , and express their determination to join the Association forthwith . Mr . Green , in company with Mr . Robson , one of tliis committee , have also had meetings of the most , satisfactory character in Wolverhampton , where they wove received with a hearty welcome by the tin plate workers and ' the hollow ware pressors ' , two ofthe oldest adherents to the cause of national union . A numerously attended open air meeting of the nail makers of Hales Owen , lias also been attended by Mr . Green , with the greatest ettect , and the most active arrangements adopted for effecting a complete re-orsaiiisiition of tho nailovs of that extensive
district . Mr . llobson has , in the meantime , proceeded on his route through Stafford , the Potteries , Cong lcton , Macclesfield , to Stockport and Manchester , where it is to be expected the trades will make preparations to receive him , and aid in rall ying and reorganising that important city . These first fruits emanating from vigorous action is tho best answer to those who , at every sli ght disappointment , would g ive up a noble cause in dispair , ascribing to apathy and inconstancy in the working classes , those failures which are alone attributable to their own want of perseverance and power of endurance .
It bas been said , within this few daya , by one who figures as a leader amongst his order—' * ' That the working classes do not possess tho power or means of bettering their condition ; and that , therefore , it is to Parliament alone that they can look for relief . " Their case then is , indeed , gloomy and wretched , if to such a Parliament as England possesses or is likely for some time at least to possess—the Proletarians of Great Britain are solel y dependent for any amelioration from their existing serfdom . But wo enter our solemn protest against this cowardly view of the exi gencies of our position . It is not true , Politically , Socially , or Industrially . There is an immense latent power existing—there are prodigious means at command of the working classes awaiting the knowled ge to g ive them a beneficial d i rection , whereby tho whole social , industrial , and political institutions of the country might be comremodelled
pletely , without the power of any legislature to prevent it . " The voice of the people is ° the voice of God , " " For a nation to ' be free , it issuflicient that she wills it . " These axioms have always been considered as self-evident propositions beyond all cavil or dispute . This will , that is to achieve freedom—this voice , which , when spoken , shall be omni potent—is ( when reduced to the formula of our vernacular language ) but an enlightened public opinion , emanating from a thorough un i ted people . And it is * to create this public owsios , in matters . connected with the industrial position and welfare of the people , that the National Association has struggled and is still determined to struggle—before which , when marshalled in the majesty of its power , Capital will be powerless as a child tor evil , but omni potent as a giant for good .

Freehold Land Conference At Birmingham ....
FREEHOLD LAND CONFERENCE AT BIRMINGHAM . This interesting meeting commenced in the Town Hal 1 , Birmingham , on Tuesday ; William Scholefield , Esq ., M . P ., m the chair . Among the more d i st i ngu i shed persons present , were Mr . Cobden M . P . ; Mr . Bri g ht , M . P . ; Mr . G . Thompson , M . P . - Mr . Joseph Sturge , Mr , Alderman Geach , Jtivmin" - ham ; Mr . Councillor Baldwin , Birmingham and amongst the- delegates , were Messrs . Charles Walker , Rochdale ; Joseph Ilickin and A . Prentice , Manchester ; S . Court-land , Braintree , Essex-N . Goodsid ge , Coventry ; Thomas Beggs , London Robert Russell , London , & c . & c . After a brief address from the Chairman , in which he expressed his anxiety that Freehold Land Societies should
not degenerate into mere political associations , Mr . Taylor , the Secretary of the Birmingham Society , read a report from the Committee which had convened the Conference , from which tve make the following extract : — " That some organisation if possible , be immediately effected , to originate in every town and county , similar institutions , and by their instrumentality make the suffrage sufficiently extensive to enable the people to have their legitimate controul over the county representation and that under the sanction of such a united body , ' correct information might be diffused as to the spread of . these principles and the establishment of such societies , and if the friends are sufficientl y enthusiastic , to support a journal ( monthly or
otherwise , ) to bo called the Freeholder , and devoted to this movement . The necessity of adopting some leg i timate plan for qualifying and reg istering the members and votes for our counties , and the method of raising a general fund for tho presenting appeals to the Court of Common Pleas . That the same plan which is adopted by the Birming ham Freehold Land Society with such pre-eminent success , may not be exactl y suitable for every locality , so applicable to every district ; so that by bringing gentlemen from all parts into general communication with each other , some plan might be devised to meet the requirements of such district . " The proceedings of the day were of a strictly national character . A discussion ensued , which
lasted for several hours , upon the securities required as regarded the completion of sales and purchases . It was ultimately settled that tho principle laid down by Mr . Taylor , of Birmingham , secretary to the association , should be adopted . The various delegates present then reported the progress ofthe movement in their several localities , and offered practical suggestions and criticisms . The reports were , on tho whole , hi ghl y gratifying . From the statements made , it appears that in Birmingham , in addition to two freehold associations , the Conservative party has established a society . One of the questions for discussion was , whether a person who , in these societies , has purchased a freehold to the amount of 40 s . a year , being at ths same time a householder in a boroug h , and entitled to vote for a borough member , can claim to vote
lorbotn county ana oorougn , ootn quaimcations being within the boroug h . Tho case as been reserved by Mr . Denison , the Revising Barrister , for tho decision of the Court of Appeal , and is looked forward to with great interest . It is expected that the decision will be given on Monday next in the Court of Common Pleas . Mr . LATiMORE ( ofHerts , ) saidthata joint society had been established for Herts and Beds , and although they had not yet made a purchase , he did not think the difficultieswere insuperable . Of one thing he was quite certain—that there was plenty of rentable property to bo purchased in Hertfordshire . He believed , that the farmers were alive to the fact that some antidote was necessary to their present position ; and this ho did know—that many farmers would gladly havo their names erased as £ 30 voters . ( Hear . )'
Mr . Robert Russell , ( of London , ) said that it was hi g hl y desirable that the members of these societies should not be found competing in the same auctionroom—the society with which he was connected had 750 members subscribing for 1 , 500 shares ; they had about £ 1 , 000 paid up , and after mature consideration it had been decided not to limit the number of shares . Mr . Cobdex , M . P ., doubted the policy of any union of these societies , although he strongly recommended a union of persons who were favourable to the advancement of the movement , therefore he ventured to suggest that there should be an union of individuals rather than societies . ( Hear . ) It appeared to him most important that a
gentleman well acquainted with the working of the principle on which these societies were based , should travel about the country , with the view to stimulate persons on the subject of the desirability of establishing these societies , and in his mind a more eligible person could not be found than Mr . Taylor , whose local duties mi ght be discharged-by some other person , whilst he was disseminating the best information on the subject . He believed that these societies would work themselves out , but the hon . member suggested that a monthly periodical , to be called The Freeholder , should be established , to bo printed in London , for the purpose of supplying members and all who took an interest in these societies with correct information on the subject of registrationqualification , & c .
, Mr . Bright briefly declared his concurrence in this view ofthe subject , and deprecated the adoption of any resolution which should advise that all freehold land societies should adopt , - as a general princip le , the free admission of persons of all political creeds . Mr , Toulmix Smith persisted in pressing a resolution on the conference , to the effect that the Freehold Land Society was connected with no political party ; but after a . protracted discussion , the feeling of the meeting being decidedl y against him , that gentleman ultimately withdrew it , and a motion was passed , ' authorising the chairman , and Messrs . Bri ght , M . P ., Cobden , M . P . and Thompson , M . P . to prepare resolutions to he submitted at the ensuing meeting , and at four o clock tho conference adjourned .
In the evening a great public meeting was held in tho Town-hall , W . Seliofefield , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . Amongst the speakers were Mr . Cobden , M . P ., Mr . Brig ht , M . P ., Sir Joshua Walmsloy , M . P ., Mr . Thompson , M . P ., Mr . Lushington , M . P ., and Joseph Sturge , Esq ., and tho other gentlemen whoso names are mentioned as present at tho Conference . The lion , gentlemen named were greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats which lasted for several minutes . The following were the resolutions adopted : — " That this Conference is of opinion that the freehold land movement is deserving the hearty support of all who desire to extend the parliamentary representation of the country , and to elevate the social and political condition of the industrious and not unenfranchised classes . That , in order to promote the
extension of freehold land societies , it is desirable that a general union of the-friends of tho freehold movement be formed , on which should devolve the duty of taking such Stops as may appear necessary to spread information on the subject , and to encourage tho formation of societies on sound principles . That this Conference requests that the committee of tlie Birmingham Freehold Land Society will consent to be the executive council of the Birmingham Freehold Land Union , with power to add to their number ; and it recommends to the council to issue a publication , to be devoted expressly to the subject of Freehold Land Societies , and tho extension of the forty shilling freehold franchise , and to an exposition of the advantages which such securities arc calculated to confer upon tho now unenfranchised classes , and upon the country .

[ It is only this week that we have received the particulars ot the death ot James Uow , but upon account of his patriotic labours m the cause of his order , we feel justified in puUislmig the following , although it is of a dale somewhat old . ] On lie 4 th oi October last , James Gow died oftvphus . tcicr in the infirmary , Dundee . On the Sunday following a public funeral washeld , and the middle classes ioineilin large numbers to do honour to Gow ' s memory , flic local TnriSTi ™ %£ "" $ * ? numbcra whoattouded it at from 10 , 000 to I 2 , m . Ihe history of James Gow - s public life is vTm ^? l SUo : tlwa l , er , inl » a" } ' other paper , Yet all have iven '
our papers g such u notlceof him-ofWs '"SSJ ™ P ? wre ? sw :, s ' ' « wit , coupled with his s linghtfoiward hones y ot purpose , as must vernier him an object of interest to . all parties . Mr .

He was then ahSnt thirty rears of np , and h ying of temperate habits , and possessed of a Mgorous and courageous mind , he was at once elected as chairman ot the out-loom weavers , lie stood bv the weavers for eleven weeks as a general of high mind ami unconquerable resolve , in consequence of representations Having been made to him of filsc tricks beimr nlaved oil'in
J . csiie , and other towns in l- 'ilshire , Mr . Gow- advertised in the nmvite Advertiser ami Glasgow Liberator newspapers warning operatives against imposition , and signed his name to such as chairman uf the weavers . An action for damages was brought against him in our Borough Court , and although Mr .
