The Bermondsey Murder. On Friday, The 2n...
consultation . After the lapse of about half an hour they returned , when Lord Chief Justice Wilde deli--verea judgment , stating that it appeared to the _coia-i tjiat ~ thc woman was properly tried , and that there w . \ s no ground for the objection . ' _jfn the afternoon , shortly after the decision of the } udge = was known as to the reserved point , informant * was forwarded io the governor and chaplain of Il _< _j- . aemonger-lane ; gaol , so that Maria Manning might be made acquainted with the fact , as she has since Iwr condemnation confidently relied oa being successful , which has materially buoyed up her spirit * . Those functionaries accordingly had an interview with her in her cell , and the reverend cbapkui informed her that she must prepare
her-SClf tO meet her Maker , as the sentence pronounced _, upon her by the judge at her trial would be carried into effect on Tuesday morning nest . She seemed extremely surprised at the announcement , and exclaims- ! , " That she had been unjustly tried and convicted , which her unfeeling husband could prove . He could unravel the whole of the circumstances relative to the murder , and if lie told the truth it would exculpate her from any participation in the dreadful crime . " She seemed rather excited , at first , but afterwards put her hand to her face , and cried bitterly . The chaplain exhorted her to employ tbe few remaining hours she had to live in prayer and _repentance and implored her to make a full confession of the crime of which she was convicted .
She _averted tbat she was not thc party who committed the murder , and she had nothing to confess . It is , however , believed , that now she finds there is , no Uvpo for ber , she will make some statement before her execution , and that she will have an interview with her husband . Thc latter bas several times expressed his anxiety to see her , which has been corumuuicated to her . " He continues in a very _depress state , eating hardly anything , although everything he wishes for , consistent with the regulations of the gaol , is afforded hira . He occupies aU his lime in reading religions works and writing . On _Iriday morning , according to the special request of Frederick George Manning , Mr . Binns , his solic ior , waited upon him in the condemned cell in
IIorseu-. ong-lanc Gaol . The interview took place in thc rrcsence of Mr . Rowe , the chaplain , Mr . _"T v ? _en' \ -he governor , and two turnkeys . He was in ! _,.-:- ? i better spirits , and as soon as Mr . Binns em-: >" ¦ _- . . he cell he shook hands with bim cordially , and iliAufccd him for his kindness . He told him that he was quite prepared to meet bis unhappy fate , and could die happy if his wife would only tell the truth . lie informed Mr . Binns that he took with him some railway shares to Jersey , which he destroved before his apprehension , a description of which " he handed for thc benefit of Mr . O'Connor ' s _faniilv . Thev will no doubt be restored by the company who issued them . This will clearly show that ihe murdered man was possessed of
considerable property in railway shares , which were useless to any one except the real owner . On being asked where the crowbar ' was , he stated that it could be found at a railway station , naming tbe place . He directed _Jdr . Binns to dispose of all his property , and after paying all demands for legal _expenees , to Iiand over the surplusto his brother Edmund . Some private conversation having taken place , Mr . Binns left . Manning ' s relations are using their utmost exertions to save his life . B . Disraeli , Esq . M . P ., aud severa l _jemlemen are preparing a petition , which will i _< e _I'i-esented to her Majesty by that gentleman , to-morrow , ( this day ) . However , not the least hope of its _suceess can be expected . Prior to Mr . Binns leavinsr _Manning he handed him the _following letter _^ giving liim permission to publish them if he pleased : —
EiTRAORDINARY LETTERS OF THE _CONDEMNED MURDERERS . The following are authentic copies of the two letters sent by the condemned prisoners to each other , since lheir conviction , and removal to Horsemonger-lane Caol , which have been handed to Mr . Binns . and published with the sanction of Frederick Geone Manning .
_SIAXXtXG TO SOS WIFE . "I _aldress you as a ' eUow-sinner , and afelWsuJferer . ; _, nd not as my wife , since the contract must be considered as cancelled , extending , as it does , only until death , and not beyond it , and both of us standiug as we do on the brink of eternity , we may already- consider ourselves a 3 cut off from the world . The consciousness of this tmth does not , however , prevent me from expressing my earnest solicitude for the happiness of yonr soul , as well as my own . I do therefore beseech and implore of you to be truthful in all you utter , aud that you may not be temptvd to yield to any evil suggestions in the securing of our soul ' s welfare , to question for an instant the solemn truth tha ; we shall shortly
appear ocfore our God in judgment , that His ere is upon us now , the time , _though not , so far as 1 can learn , precisely fixed when we are to be launched into _eirrnity , but we mr _« y be quite sure and _cenaii _) that it is close at hand ; and now , by all kindl y feelings we have at any time entertained toward ? each other , I earnestly pray tbat you-will look to _Oodfor the pardon you need , and of which I feel nvy own need also . Believe me , through the merits if a crucified Redeemer , being satisfied that his ail- > ufSeient atonement and intercession cannot benefit us unless we repent and give proofs of that
_repeniauce . Believe me , I uporaid you not , but trust you will be assured that I forgive every one as 3 pray and hope to he forg iven hy God , and norr I close , sis my feelings are too acute to write more . May the Lord be merciful , and may He be so consistent with His promises . Let ns be truthful and sincere iu all we say and do . This is the last letter you wiil ever receive from me . 2 "bw let me beg of you to grant me an interview this day if possible . I have a great wish to have one before I depart this world . ( Signed ) F . G . Massing . " Written on the 20 th of October , 18 «' _, in the condemned cell , Horscmonger-lane Gaol—Frederick Goorge Manning . "
MARIA MAXXIXO TO HEE HCSBAXO . I address vou as my husband : I am far away from my happy native land , on account of this contract and thi ? land which you have made to me a captivity . Tire peace and well-being of sooiety , the laws of truth which you have broken , have alike demanded my banishment from the country which gave me birth . But I am riot going away from God . He is everywhere alike-present , and at all times gracious to those that seek his mercy and his favour . What has brought me into this eternal consequence ? If you live and die unforgiven by God , that those sins wiU be punished by the laws of men , tbey are still all registered by tne only God . All I have to say is this : I never made any
statement of any kind to injure or condemn you in this matter , that you well know , from first u < isst . I am here condemned only by your statement . If it had proved beneficially to you I should have been satisfied . Witb all your doings and the great- experience of your learned counsellors , that did not benefit you , but plunged me unmercifully with you to this horrid fate . All I have to beg of you now , is to state facts , as you know that I was not in the house when O'Connor met with Ms death . But I was gone to see for him , and during that time he _callcdTin my absence and was shot by that young man from Guernsey , who was with you in the back parlour smoking . Tbat I did not knnw _anvtbing about it until the Saturday '; and
that it was all settled in tbe kitchen . I was in hopes you would have brought that young man forward on th " . trial , but tbat you did not do ; but only bhnic mc as you did from tbe first day . But , my dear , as you now know that you cannot sav < * _ronrself , I implore of you to state the facts wHcii _fti-o truth , and endeavour to save your wife . By co :- -.: ; i <* it would be satisfaction to your own heart :: nJ soul to know that you are doing right and wjii towards me before you depart from this world * . The Lord God will forgive you and comfort vou . J _' eJieve me , I upbraid jon not , but trust that v « a will be assured that I forgive you and everv one , as I pray and hope I may be forgiven by God ! if vou comply with this true statement I shall to until the last My

Remember you cannot answer for our _« _' " ' 3 or transgressions when all our secret sins bbnilbcsetin the light of His countenance , and _wh'Ti tbe wicked who carelessly lived and imserablv died , without the fear or favour of God , shall _dohbtl' _-ss perish everlastingly . In that day a graver conscie nce shall produce a failing heart , and an nn « _rv _iiato _shaU point to the wicked . Ihumbly look t / _illn-Ji fJLord .

_Thk Romas Remains in Moulsham . —Thc explorations suspended for a time in consequence of the little 4 s * iect paid to the antiquarian interest of flhelnisford by the owner of the field in wluch tho Telks of old were first discovered , have been regained in an enclosure adjoining , by the ready leave of Mr John Copland , the owner , and Mr . Sorrcll , the tenant , and have already been rewarded with a mood suave of success . Pieces of fresco , of different _pattern- which adorned the walls , with the colours almost us fresh as when first put on , have been discovere d ; nlso a quantity of soot and tiles , which no doubt was part of a hypoeaust . These prove that
the spot was the site of a Roman villa , a belief wbicb is _confirmed by tbe celebrated antiquarian , Mr " Roach Smith , to whom some ofthe relics have been shown . The excavations arc still being carried on under : he superintendence of Mr . Archer and Mr . Chancellor ; and several gentlemen of the neig hbourhood have jeined together in a subscription , to wisicb the worthy rector and 3 Ir . Disney _liave contributed , in . order that the search may be effectively carried Out A few years ago several fine funereal urns were found at thc upper part of Houl > haiA . near the London road , which strengthens the belief of this being once a Roman station . — Chelmsford Chronicle .
Murder Of A Warder Hy A Convict In -Mill...
MURDER OF A WARDER HY A CONVICT IN -MILL-BASK PRISON . A murder , of a most atrocious description was committed in the above prison , on Wednesday , by a notorious convict , named John Francis , upon the person of Mr . Thomas Hall , a warder , who died on Friday morning from the effects of thc dreadful injuries he received . At about half-past four in the afternoon , Francis returned from thc bulks to this prison . He requested Hall to let him out of his cell , which the warder immediately complied with , and as he was returning to his cell , he suddenly rushed upon the warder and felled hiiu to the ground with a heavy weapon , and followed up his murderous attack with a succession of desperate
blows about the head with the same instrument . The attack was witnessed by some of the other prisoners from the grating of their cells , but as they bad all been locked up witb the exception of Francis , thej were unable , although willing , so much were they excited by the cowardly and ruffianly nature of the attack , to render thc unfortunate warder any assistance , although tbey repeatedly called to Francis aud implored him to spare the poor man's life . Finding their entreaties vain , as the ruffian still continued his murderous attack , they rushed to their windows , when their cries brought somo of the other officers to the spot , and the miscreant Francis was sti _' l found standing over his bleeding and prostrato victim . Francis was immediately secured , and conveyed to the refractory cell , where he has been closely guarded ever since . The deceased was perfectly insensible , and was removed upon a shutter to thc infirmary . Messengers were immediately
despatched to Dr . Daly , the superintendent medical officer of the establishment , who found that thc unfortunate man ' s skull was literally smashed in , and the brain severely lacerated . Everything tbat medical skill eould devise was adopted , but without success , and the deceased expired in about thirtyseven hours . The wretched convict expressed no remorse for his conduet , but , on the contrary , said ho " had long been waiting for the opportunity . " In his jacket pocket the two parts of a pan * of scissors , tlie rivet having been removed , were found , and the ends of which had been sharpened to a fine point . They were immediately taken from him , and he was asked his reason for possessing them , when he replied " that he had carried them about him withe purpose of stabbing Dr . Raly on the first opportunity . " The unfortunate deceased was forty years of age , and has left a wife and six young children to deplore his untimely end .

Fir.E At Gneexwicn. — Destruction Or The...
Fir . E at GnEExwicn . — Destruction or the Patexi _Kampioijcax Works . — This morning ( Saturday ) about one o ' clock , a fire , involving a serious destruction of property , broke out in the spacious premises belonging to Mr . Walter , known as the Patent Kamptulicah Works , situate in thc Greenwich-road . The fames ori ginated in the main factory , a building fitted up with most costl y machinery , and containing a large stock in trade . Onthe arrival of the engines a fearful sight presented itself , the whole of the factory , from the base to thc roof , presenting one sheet of flame . At three o clock this morning the fire was far from being entirety extinguished , although all danger of any further extension was over . The factory , however , was entirely destroyed , and the surrounding premises severely damaged .
_EXPLOSIOX AT THE CHEMICAL WORKS , _DePTFOBD . — On Thursday evening a serious explosion took place at Hill ' s chemical works , Deptford , which resulted in great damage to the premises , and , it is feared , fatal injury to one of the workmen , named Henry Fletcher , aged twenty-five years , who was most shockingly burned and otherwise injured by the action of the fire , and the violence of the explosion . It appears that about six o clock the young man Fletcher had directions to procure some article from one ofthe warehouses , containing a large quantity of chemicals , whidh place had not been opened for a considerable period , and when he entered the place witUalightcd candle the warehouse was suddenly enveloped in flame , which was also accompanied with aloud report , which fortunately brought a number
of men to the aid of Fletcher , who was then completely surrounded with flames , and his dress was nearly consumed . One man rushed in , and in a praiseworthy manner succeeded in dragging thc injured man out ofthe fire . He was conveyed to the accident ward of St . Thomas ' s Hospital , and placed under the care of the house surgeon , who ascertained that both his arms were burned , and his face , with other portions of his body , seriously blackened and charred by the flames . Additional aid was soon brought to the spot , and with great exertion the flames were happily confined to the part above named . Fletcher is going on very favourably , but still he is in a dangerous condition . The origin of the sad disaster is attributed to an accumulation of foul air .
_Accinuxi ox tiie Bwckwam _, Ivmi , WAT . —About a q uarter past five on Thursday morning the regular up-train arrived somewhat behind time , just as an express train was about to proceed downward on the Blackwall line . A luggage train , which followed the regular one , was just then heard thundering through the station , which is roofed over to protect the vessels lying in the neighbouring basin from any chance sparks from the engines . "When the relative positions of the two trains were discovered , the luggage train at once let off the steam , but too late to avert the shock , which took place with tremendous force . The luggage train swept tbe last carriage of the passenger train clear off its frame , leaving the latter a mere
trucK . The displaced carriage working its way under the preceding one , forced the hinder end into the air , with the head ploughing downwards . Eight or nine persons are said to have been seriously injured , but none dangerously . Sekioos Charge of Mcrder at Mucheldean , _Gloucestershire . —An inquest was held at Longhope , near Gloucester , on Friday , by the county coroner , on view of the body of a female infant , the illegitimate offspring of a young woman named Mary Ann Parry , the daughter of a farmer living there . It appears that the young woman had been living with another woman , named Caroline Hampton , at a house at Longhope , and that , on the 1 st October last , the girl Parry was delivered of a child , but , as it appears , without any medical or other aid . The child , was represented as having been born dead . lint , was
kept m 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 in 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 exhumed , and the inquest was after an adjournment , formally brought to a close on Fridav , when tbe 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 mat . mortem examination of the body of the child and were decidedl y of opinion that it had been ' bbrn ahve , and had lived a short time .

Be-Obganka. Tion Of Chartism. Large Meet...
BE-OBGANKA . TION OF CHARTISM . LARGE MEETING AtThE SOUTH LONDON HALL . On "Wednesday evening a densely crowded nnd enthusiastic meeting was held at the above JIaU , for the purpose of electing delegates to _wspwsow the sentiments and opinions of the Chiirtist of Lambeth in the forthcoming Metropolitan
Conference . . Mr . _Hobden was called to tho chair , and having briefly stated the objects ofthe meeting , introduced Mr G " vV . M . _Rkvxouis , who was received with -reat app lause , and moved the first resolution as follows - _'' That in the op inion oi this _uwotuig the present state of the country , and tho extravagantly _hi-h rate at which the peop le are taxed , require a coniplete and organic change in our representative ind financial system , and which desirable results can bo effected only by a thorouirli union ot tlie ncopie in associations for those objects ; and , therefore _, this meeting agrees to the propriety of again a « itatin « f . » r those equitable principles of representative _Government contained in the People ' s Charter . "
Ho said that although thc Chartist agitation might have lain dormant for tho hist ei g hteen months , yet he had too sublime a confidence iu the honesty , iiitelli « _cnce , and energy of tbe industrious classos , to believe that the spirit of Chartism was defunct in their breasts . ( Hear . ) So long ns the working man was ground down by the tyranny of a despicable aud vile oligarchy—so long as tho millions had to toil , in order to maintain a few favoured mortals in luxurious sloth and voluptuous indolence so long as the man with eight shillings a week had to contribute the sweat of his brow , and the larger portion of his scanty wage , to that scandalous taxation which sustained tho pampered
oligarchyso long as all thc fruits of tho earth wero monopolised by that aristocratic minority , whilo starvation was the doom of thc producers of all the luxuries , elegance , and comforts of life—so long as such an infamous and atrocious system as this was in existence , the spirit of Chartism never woiild die . ( Immense applause . ) "What , then , did it behove the working classes to do ? He would tell them . They must resuscitate thc Chartist agitation—not that agitation in which there was to be talk of pikes and pistols , blood and violence : but a legal , peaceful , and constitutional agitation , based upon tho strength of a just cause , and carried out hy moral moans . ( Cheers . ) At tho same timo Mr . Roynolds would
not couusol any movement which should become antagonistic to tho agitation instituted by the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . No : it must be a movement which would run conveniently witli the other , until the mission of that middle-class association should havo ceased ; and then the Chartists would continue their own glorious and magnanimous struggle , until all tbeir wrongs were redressed and all their rights rescued from usurpation and tyranny . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Reynolds then proceeded to pass a high culogium upon Sir Joshua Walmcslcy as the leader of the Middle-class movement , and likewise upon Mr . O'Connor , who was the staunch ,
unflinching , and able lender of thc working-class movemcut . He then expatriated at great length , upon the infamous system of taxation , —showing how we paid £ 50 , 000 a year to Prince Albert , although the Queen was already enormously rich ; £ 100 , 000 a year to Queen Adelaide—a German woman who had no sympathies with the people , and with whom the people had no sympathies eitherand all the scandalous pensions which wero received by thc aristocratic leeches and blood-suckers who boasted tlieir descent from the shameless females who sold their charms to Charles the second . ( Loud applause . ) Mr . Reynolds then touched upon the points in the People ' s Charter , showing how
unjust it was to deprive millions of men of the right of franchise , and yet calling upon them to oboy those laws which they had no shave in the making , and to pay those taxes which they took no part in levying . " Wore tho aristocracy and the government wise , they would yield Universal Suffrage as a matter of prudence . The people would then become thc true source of power , and any government which they raised up would be one of their choice . They would not quarrel with it ; and as to the idea of ever being goaded to that state of desperation which would prompt them to take up arms against 'it—such a thought was ridiculous . ( Hear . ) But so _lona as tbe suffrage was denied , the people were
discontented , and armies were required to keep them in " order . " Lord John ltnsseil had declared that the people were too ignorant to exercise tho franchise wisely , This was afoul calumny . Tho millions possessed a more sterling intelligence than the aristocracy—the true intelligence of the country , in fact , resided amongst those who were the artificers and the producers of all luxuries—all works of science and art , and all things necessary to sustain or embellish existence . ( Loud cheers . ) No , it was not the ignorance of the working classos that was dreaded : it was their intelligence . For the
oligarchy knew full well that , with a true representation of the national mind , all the hideous abuses which now appeared like plague-spots upon the social system would speedily bo swept away . Mr . Reynolds then proceeded to show that a knowledge of social rights and social duties accompanies the extension of political privileges ; and that , in order to change all tho semi-barbarian laws and usages which now affect thc social condition , political , reform must he obtained . He concluded a long and argumentative speech , by calling upon the working classes to do their duty , and join in the new agitation which was now commencing , and sat down amidst loud and prolonged applause .
Mr . O'Connor rose , and was most enthusiastically cheered . He said : Once upon a time , au English aristocrat was making a tour through the States of America upon horseback . He called late one night at a country inn , when all the servants had gone to bed . He hallooed out " Ostler , ostler , ostler ! " till at last the ostler roused from his slumber , threw up the window ' , aud , popping out his head , exclaimed , " What are you calling for ? " "Iwant myhorse ' put up , " was the reply . "Does he kick ? " asked the ostler . " No . " " Does he bite ? " asked the ostler .
"No . " "Then put him up yourself ; the more you calls the more I won't come . " ( Laughter . ) Well , the appeal ofthe chairman to the gentlemen of the press to come upon the platform reminded him of the American ostler—as , the more the chairman calls , "the more they won t come . " But let them not mind that ; although the ear of the world was not there , the lug of the Home Office av , is amongst them . ( Cheers , aud "Ay ! " ) And to-monw Sir George Grey aud his associates would hear what was said , and what was not said , from tbeir spies and detectives ; unt , however , they were of importance as reporters ,
as the resolution of government would Debased upon their co-operation , rather than upon the value set upon it hy the press . ( Hear , hoar . ) Mr . Reynolds had reminded them of the great importance attached to the solution of the social question at Johnstreet , last night , by oue of their former leaders ; and he ( Mr , _O'Couiior ) believed that eyery man there sufficiently understood the fact , that the Charter was meant as the political means , and the profitable cultivation and equitable distribution of national wealth , as the social end . ( Cheers . ) Yes , and if he attempted critically to analyse the exact social benefit tbat each class or each trade would
derive from the PEOPLE'S CHARTER , the ignorance of both class aud trade would create such a diversity of opinion as would lead to their utter annihilation . ( Hear , hear . ) He never did attempt , and lie never would attempt , to define what the Charter would do for all , beyond this—that it would cause . a just representation of the majorit y . If he said to a mechanic in good employment , go upon the land , the mechanic would laugh at him ; so with the shoemaker , so with all other trades that didn ' t understand the benefit , that the employment of now idle Labourers would confer upon them ; so with' the tailor , he foolishly supposes that he can crib mmi >
cabbage from tbe lapboard than from the Land . He would analyse it for them . The mechanic who did not use the spade , a shovel , _t rake , a hoe , or any other instrument made by his labour , would receive much more wages if there was a general national instead of a capricious speculative demand for his labour . ( Cheers . ) So with the shoemaker , so with the tailor , and so with all who had an objection to the Land . Let him ask them if the mind of man could invent anything move ridiculous than our present system ? Here we had every one puzzled to lain the law
exp , and every one expected to understand the law . For tostanop ; a young fellow went from school to college at . sevcnteen ; he went from college to the Temple at twenty ; he went trom the Temple to a conveyancer ' s office for two years after he was called to the bar ; he was then twenty-dye , and had been ei ght years _leaii „ e law ; he-was considered a junior , whose legalop ? u £ n was no worth a ferthing for ten years , and was then thirty-five years of age . Well then XS they think of the absurdity of its _rcauftr l _± Z
years study , and tlie man to bo of _thirty-flve years ofage to explain the law , while a voun * smut hot from Cambrid ge or Oxford , oft _wenty-one _WSf age , was elected member of parliament and considered capable of making and _amending the hw ? ( Loud cheers . ) Would ft be possible _Vrliin to give a better definition of the capability of ou pi _esent law makers ? The House consisted o _& C

r _^ _beTs ; he \ vould p lace 630 of those upon aplatfork before a meeting of intelligent working men , S not a single working man would understand a _qintrlo sentence they delivered . ( Cheers . ) Well , that was the system by which they were ruled and _JJvernod _, and it was to break down that system fhafchc ( Mr . O ' Connor ) had struggled fortwenty-L ' ven years , and to effect which he now ! „ u « ht to resuscitate tho Chartist spirit . fLoud cheers . ) When the government had clipped tho wings of Chartism by tho brutal persecution of its leaders , thov hoped that it would be a helpless _flutrerinff bird ; ' but , as ho told tbem before , he repeated now , for every feather plucked from their wing they would find ton to replace it , and ho was more than
_reioiccdnt tho pleasure of their friend Mr . Reynolds'co-operation . ( Cheers . ) That gentleman had told them that ho ( Mr .. O'Connor ) stood alone in U , o House of Commons ; he did nearly so , but if he stood alone he would still advocate their principles . / Loud cheers . )'' It is true that ho was " _boo'd and « baa'd " in the House of Commons . It is true that one of tho oldest members in the House told him ( Mr . O'Connor ) after tho 10 th of April , that he had _huen thirty-eight years in tho House of Commons , and th . it ho remembered tho timo when he would have been ordered from the House to the Tower , and there beheaded , for the speech that he ( Mr . O'Connor ) made . ( Loudcheers , ) If , however , the will ofthe people camtot be fairly aud judiciously
represented in tho Iiouso , it must bo done so tervently and enthusiastically . ( Cheers . ) They were now endeavouring to modify tho old system , and as far as taxation went , lot him show tho manner in which voting gentlemen were still living , under thc old system , upon their labour . When he was at school tboro wore three boys in bis class , thc eldest not thirteen , and all officers in the army upon full pay . ( Shouts of " . Shame ! " ) Well , these gentlemen never heard a shot fired , and arc still upon half-pay , But he would take tbem to a lower standard of age . At one time the political power of the llercsfords , in Ireland , was capable of effecting anything . In those days the names , or the intended names of children , before thev were born , were gazetted for
commissions in tho army . So great was the cravings of the llercsfords , the Lord-Liutcnanfc told them , that if they got Ireland for a domain they would want the Isle of Man for a potato garden . ( Hoars of laughter . ) Well , in those good old days Lord Cathcart was commander-in-chief of the forces , and upon a tour of inspection he hillctted himself upon Lord Boresford ' s hospitality , Lord Bovcsford was from home , but her ladyship entertained him , After dinner the General , knowing that several Bercsfords were appointed to commissions in the annv . said , " My lady , I should
wish to see the young warriors . " Her ladyship went out of the room and , from the bottom of the stairs , called out to the nurse , "Nurse , take the Captain ' s cradle out of thc Major ' s room , as he is teething , and when the Colonel wakes dress him in his regimentals , thc General wishes to see him . " ( _Koava of laughter that continued for several minutes . ) Well , continued Mr . O'Connor , that is not all , the said Lady Beresford called upon the Lord Lieutenant on another occasion to look for some office for herself ; when his Excellency , overpowered by such application , observed , " Upon my soul I don't know what to do—I do not know of a
single vacancy , except a Majority in a Dragoon regiment . " " It ' s the very thing of all others that I should like , " replied her ladyship , and she was gazetted as Mrs . Major Beresford . ( Renewed laughter . ) Let him now explain to them ono of the greatest absurdities ofthe present age , and for the abolition of which the People ' s Charter contended . lie explained it in the House of Commons , hut he would also explain it to them— -it was the absurdity of Property Qualification . There sat Lord John Russell—thc first Minister of the Crown , and representative ofthe wealthiest city in the world , who only required £ 300 a-year to qualify him—next to him sat the representative of a bankrupt Irish county , - who must have £ 000 a-year as a qualification—next to him sat the disinherited prodigal son
of a Peer , be required no qualification—next to him sat the depraved , and dissolute , and , perhaps , disinherited oldest son of a qualified gentleman , herequired no qualification—and next to him sat a Scotch member who required no property qualification . ( Cheers , and shouts of" Shame . " ) Let him now describo how property qualification was measured as regards a party serf , and as regards an inindopendent member . In 1832 he was returned for his native country by an overwhelming majority . He was qualified . In _1 S 35 he was returned again , but , in the mean time , lie had become very obnoxious to tho . different factions in the Iiouso , and they had become very hostile to him . When he was returned he was in receipt of
over £ 5 , 1 ) 00 a year from his profession , bis profits as a farmer , and his landed income , and ho did not owe a fraction . The smallest portion , £ 375 a year , he had for life , the largest portion he had for 9099 years , and a very large portion upon three lives , renewable for over ; but thc £ 375 a year that lie had for life—thc worst property he had , and which would more than have qualified Lord John Russell—was all that was held to be good , and he was unseated . ( Shouts of" Shame . " ) Well , ho had given up , or spent upon tho advocacy of their causo , every fraction of that income — ( cheers ) —• and from that fact alone they would be able to judge of his sincerity . He did not agitate from the same motive that other men did . He had an uncle in the fifty-first year of
his banishment , who sacrificed not ten ;' out twenty _, thousand a year , and a peerage , rather than abandon the people ' s cause . ( Cheers . ! His father had been prematurely hurled to the cold grave for no other crime ; his two survi ring brothers were obliged to fly their country , in consequence of the odium attached to their principles ; the one was now tbe wealthiest man in New South Wales , the other the wealthiest man in South America ; and there ho ( Mr ; O'Connor ) stood as the only remaining man of that persecuted family , not seeking vengeance , but satisfaction for their oppression , and that he could never achieve except through the enfranchisement ofthe people . ( Loud cheering and waving of hats , that continued for a considerable time . ) Look
at tho pale faces that he saw around him , and think of the ruddy cheeks of those that lived upon their blood . ( Cries of "Ay . " ) Let him show the difference between slave labour and free labour ; the free labourer—no matter what the drud gery of his occupation may be if he is a solicitor , a barrister , a merchant , a banker , or a shopkeeper—he will sit till midnight over thc flickering-lamp , in the hope of realising in youth wherewithal to live independently in old age , whilo they—and no blame to themwork sparingly and grudgingly at their slave labour , because they knew that however penuriously they live , the bastile must be their refuge in old age . ( Cheers , and shouts ot "It ' s true . " ) Ay , but the man upon his own land would work
sixteen or eighteen hours a day during summer , and at some other avocation in winter , to secure a sufficiency whereon to live in old age . ( Loud cheers . ) Now that was tho difterence between free labour and slave labour ; the one sweetened the bread of life , tf » other sowed it . ( Loud cheers . ) The situation of tlio ill paid Dorchester agricultural labourer was paraded by free traders and manufacturers as a contrast with tho condition of the Lancashire and Yorkshire operatives . But if life is sweet , let him fairl y illustrate it for them . The average of life in Dorsetshire was 58 years ; in many of the manufacturing districts it was 28 . Then , " was not the operative who had been thus prematurely made old , entitled to a sufficient remuneration for the labour of his youth , to live in comfort in his
old ago ? ( Cheers . ) The race horse , who had run his sweating race , made to lire in an artificial state , and had become old at five , represented the operative . ; while the dull plough horse , that was younger at twenty-fire , represented the agricultural labourer . . ( Cheers . ) Now that was the system that he had laboured constantly and assiduously to break down , and that was the system that never would be broken down so long as " the power of the few was based upon the disunion and jealousy of the many . ( Loud cheers . ) In the beginning of next month there was to be a metropolitan Conference hold in London , ho understood that last night , ( Tuesday , ) and without his knowled ge , he had been elected as one of thc members , for Marylebone , to that Conference , —( loud cheers , )—
and he attached as miich importance and honour to his seat for Marylebone , in the Conference , as he did to his soat in the House of Commons . ( Great cheering . ) They would be called upon that night , to elect sound and discreet men to represent thcm , and he relied upon their sagacitv to do so TbatConfercnce would more faithfully represent their interests than thc metropolitan members did in tho House of Commons , and they would announce a programme for future action to the country . Ho had only one more duty to perform ; the Daily Aews said that he ( Mr . O'Connor ) was the snlt . elected "father of _Wism , " ana as lie wished Bf £ _^ _^ , . ogltln _l childron » and" * ° t his legit mate children , he would do as he did at Brighton , take a show of hands as to the relationship that existed between them , and . therefore , be
wouiu _asiv au who considered him to be their _legitimate father to hold up both hands . ( Here e _? ery band was held np , amidst the most enthusiastic cheering ) After winch , Mr . O'Conn or observed , now he had a larger family than King Pbum , the only differcnc . ' being that many of his children were older than himself . ( Great cheering and laughter . ) ihoir enthusiasm and their devotion , their love , their confidence and affection , had dragged the grey hairs from his head , had warmed his heart , and strengthened his nerves , ho . _Mt
young as ever and although once disconsolate , lie again repeated : —Away . * uou _BAimusO DREAMS _I'EAUGus is mump _ag . «; v J Mr . O'Connor seconded the resolution .

Be-Obganka. Tion Of Chartism. Large Meet...
I will take leave . to make a few observations respecting the kind of a movement which I am anxious to see established . . ( Hear . ) In the first place , then , it is necessary that it shoujd be clearly and distinctly understood , that the movement which . wc are entering upon here this evening , is not intended to play nn antagonistic part towards any other movement , the objects of which are of a laudable kind . ( Cheers . ) Speaking for myself , I am bound to observe , that I care not who may be the men engaged in a cause—I care not to what class they may belong—if their objects be good , then they shall have my sympathy , and my support . Men are not to be judged by classes , but by actions , nnd tome it appears that in the future we must have
lessofe _' ass and more of man . ( Cheers . ) I have no sympathy for bad men of any class , and my experience lias taught me that my own class—the working class—abounds in bad as well as in good man . ( Hear , and cheers . ) 1 assert it as a fact , and one , too , wbich you must all know to be true , that tho great causo which we arc here to serve has no worse enemies than are to be found in the lowest ranks of labourers . ( Hear . ) And why is it so ?—from the samo reason that we have opposition from other quarters—it is because they arc ignorant . ( Hear , bear . ) It is this ignorance which is our real enemy , and it is to intelligence alone that we must look for its destruction . ( Cheers . ) lam , therefore , solicitous to witness the establishment of
an agitation whieh , disregarding the distinction of class , shall he distinguished by intelligence , energy , and tolerance . These to me appear to bo tho elements necessary for success , and without which triumph will not be ours . ( Hear . ) There is one matter to which , with your permission , I will call attention . Allusion has been made , most disparagingly , by my friend Mr . Reynolds , in the course of his truly eloquent speech to the Peace Congress , and to the objects of the peace party generally , and as I entertain the highest respect for that party in the main , and approve cordially of tlieir objects , the meeting wiil not be astonished at my _dis-ent from what has been advanced _asiainst them . ( Hear . ) I _regard _ai-nres and wars as the scourge and curse of
mankind , and 1 do not believe even though we should have a republic to-morrow , that perfect liberty could exist contemporaneously with a standing army . ( Hear . ) Armies have been from the earliest dawn of the worlds history down to the present moment , the great'instruments by which the enslavement of nations bas been effected and perpetuated , and , therefore , I am for the overthrow of those armies which at present curse the world in various ways . ( Cheers . ) Look at France at this moment and answer me , who are its veritable governors ? The Algerine butchers , who by the aid of the army of France , have almost crushed that Republic , as they have already destroyed the Republic of Rome . ( Cheers . ) 1 will confess that I am not so sanguine as to expect that
the objects of Mr . Cobden and his friends of the peace party , will be realized in my life time . I do not think that I shall live to see tliem accomplished , and I can well understand how the objects of that parly may now appear to some Utopian ; but like all oilier great truths , which have been adopted by the world , ridiculed at their birth , persecuted in their slow progress ; the propositions of the Peace Congress , will , I doubt not , ultimately triumph , and then standing armies will be but as monsters of the past . ( Hear . ) Then , I say , all honour to thc men of the Peace Congress ; I for one will sound their praise . ( Cheers . ) . As I told you at the outset , tlie resolution which I have to propose , relates to matters of business , and , therefore , my
observations upon it shall be few . It is proposed in order to the reorganisation of the Chartist body , that , on the first Monday in December next , a Conference of twenty-ei g ht persons are to assemble , for the purpose of devising a plan whereby the scattered elements of _deraooi-acy may be drawn together for the _present , and bound together for the future . Four of those persons are to be elected here tonight , and to take their places at the Conferencenot as private individuals , but as your representatives to speak , to act , and to decide in your name . Take heed , then , whom you select , because your representatives ought to be worthy of yourselves . ( Hear . ) The council of this locality have prepared a list of four persons whom they think competent to act
upon your behalf , and whom you will elect or reject . Mr . Clark , after a further explanation ofthe objects of the Conference , proposed the following _resolution , and sat down warmly applauded : — " That this meeting having heard explained the objects and intentions of the proposed Metropolitan Conlerence , approves the same , and agrees to the appointment of four delegates , to be present at suck Conference as the _reiJi-esentatives of this meeting . " Mr . M'Giutu seconded the resolution . He said , this had been their second essay at sounding the trumpet blast of Chartist resuscitation , and thus far ' their success had been unequivocal . ( Hear . ) Let them follow up the glorious work witb tbe same spirit , and they would soon rectify the
unsfcatcsmanliUo blunder of Lord John , when he assured parliament that the people were satisfied with their political status , and that no organic change was desired . ( Hear . ) They were determined to rouse the soul of this metropolis from its torpor , and to make the breast of every political slave from the Land ' s End to John O'Groats' instinct with the holy spirit of freedom . ( Cheers . ) A great work was before them to accomplish , and great must be the energies put in motion for it . He regarded with infinite pleasure the fine spirit and cheering enthusiasm which characterised thc proceedings of that night ; these were encouraging presages which showed tbat the day of the people ' s emancipation was at hand . ( Cheers . ) There must be no
subsidence of the spirit evoked to-night . ( Hear . ) Were they not dissatisfied with the tyrannies of the Tories ? Were they not disgusted with the frauds of the Whigs ? Then let them cease not to develope their dissatisfaction and disgust by their attendance at meetings such as tho present , and by tlieir support of a popular organisation which aims at tho speedy , but peaceful ' and legal destruction of the power of those baneful factions . ( Cheers . ) All denominations of politicians were now on tho alert . All wero sedulous in promoting the triumph of their respective objects . Our cause transcended in grandeur , importance , and sublimity that of every other party . Its success would scatter a multitude of blessings anions : the
people . It would , therefore , be disgraceful to them as a party , and traitorous to tho causo of progress to remain another moment in supiucness . Let them up then once more with the bright banner of the Charter — let them surround it with their hearts and affections—lot them boar it proudly _aloft in the vanguard of progression , until they plant it in triumph upon the ruins of class legislation , ( Loud cheers . ) They wanted an organisation to gather up the elements of democratic power , which desideratum , as far as Lambeth was concerned , would be supplied to-night . Thoy should have an organisation that would at once defy the virulence of the Attorney-General , and nullify the diabolical vocation of wretches like Powell . ( Cheers . ) " Xo Surrender , " must be their watchword ; " Union " must bo their motto . Without these they would continue to be the sport of faction and the laughing-stock of the oppressor . ( Hear . )
Union is the first grand essential m agitation . Let then every man , every woman , every youth in this assembly , resolve upon its immediate ' creation . ( Cheers . ) Tlieir Organisation Conference would shortly meet , and when their wisdom and experience shall have been embodied in a plan which would give force and direction to popular energy , another mectmg will be held in this room for the adoption ofthe plan , and for tbe enrolment of members under it , when he hoped that every square foot of the hall would bear an honest heart , panting to enlist m the glorious army of political and social progress . The speaker sat down amid the general applause ofthe meeting . Four delegates were then unanimously elected to represent Lambeth in the Conference . After the _usual votes of thanks had been passed , the meeting , which throughout its proceedings was heart-inspiring and enthusiastic , was declared by the Chairman to be dissolved .

State Op Trade. Manchester —We Have To R...
STATE OP TRADE . Manchester —We have to report a very dull market today ( Tuesday ) , with scarcely any business . If sales were effected , it must have been at considerably lower rates , to which manufacturers do not at present * feel disposed to submit . The American news received per the Caledonia from New York , is generally considered as favourable . Printed cloth is getting more plentiful , and prices giving way ; thirty-six , forty , and forty-five , inch shirting are aU dull of sale , and 3 d . per piece reduction has been submitted to on most qualities , Jncconets are not lower in price , but there is little inquiry for them . Domestics are again in very little demand , iuul prices yielding . 1 'b _« weavers , numbering 500 , iii the employ of Messrs . liylamls and Son , of Gorton mills , have turned out during the last weeit , in consequence of an attempted reduction of wages to the standard of the Stockport list , but the mills are still working .
