Fellow Working Men ,- * WH EN I sent tho Advertisement to be Published , which h ^ s aopnureu fjr the last few wc-Ks , aud which '¦ tates . that I am willing to glve -four shillings 1 be ' Executive and one shiliii / g'o tlie Victim Fuad out of tveiv one hundred pounds weight of beverage , I Bay . my frLnds , at that time ' it struck mo vfiry forcibly that the Victim Fund stood much neediof augmenting , and I think so 3 iill . as you may see by their letter ; and I also think , if I may jud ; , e from appearance , that , the country evinces but little disposition 10 support the cause of Chartism through the Executive , inasmuch as neither myself nor Messjrs . Crow and Ty . rel have had much to add to their funds for some weeks past . I therefore propose that the vvhyJo of the five shillings per hundred pounds be given to iho Y ; ctim&' Defence Fund , and it shall appear as before in Mr . Cleave ' s Subscription List weekly , uni . il the assizes are over , when we can make fresh arrangements as the timed may require . } Wow , my friends , it remains with the peoplr , whether those men who have been made victirjs for no other crimo than that of demanding jus ? tee at the bands of out oppressors be left t » the clem' jucy of a merciless judge and a time-serving ju / y , or whether they shall kave funds sufficiently sr ^ ppiied which will secures to them justice ; and v / e must remember that there is only a few weeks t o raiee the money in , and we should also remember that we that are at , liberty are only so because the law has rot got hold of | us , but that we perhr . ps may hitv . « fu \< i and doue more towards the downfall of tyranta than those wboni it is our duty to 8 >\ pporfc . I now leave rhe matter in your hands , and only have to say , that I pledged uij ^ olf in 1819 never to rest until we were free—I nuvir have nor ever will , Rocee Findeb , Hull .

TO THE CHARTISTS OF TriLE DISTRICT OF LEEDS . ( COMPRISING LEED = i , HCLBKCK , HUNSLF . T , W 0 RTLET , AHMLKY , WCODUOUSE , CUVRWELL , AND IIOXLEY . ) ADDITIONAL MEANS FOR PROVIDING TALENTED LECTURERS . WILLIAM BROOK begs to announce to his Friends , that he is now selling CIAYS CAFFEINE , an article greatly superior to any Breakfast Boveraue yet brought before the public . The Powder so closely imitates Coffee in appearance and the drink so nearly resemble it in flavour that the nicest connoisseur can scarcely detect the difference . It effects a saving of one third in the quantitj over any Breakfast Powder in use , and requires considerably less sugar than Coffee , or any other substitute . A trial need only be made to be satisfied of its superior qualities . The Caffeine is ) made up in neat packes 3 of ponnd and half-pounds each . —The Price is Sixpence per pound . W . B . allows 33 . for every 100 pounds weighty to the Di-trict , Fund , for the better supplying theabo ^ e places with talented lecturer ^ .. 21 , Kirkgate , Corner of Vicar-lane . The Treasurer for the District has been furnished with Mr . Clay ' s address , so that he cau write aud request him to forward an exact account of the weight furnished to Mr . Brook .

••» I THE PARLIAMENT . j Work ? eems to have now begin , in rii ; ht earnest . The rtadrr will fiad below Lord Stanhopk's speech , ' on intro-. ucing his motion : — ¦ " That this House do resolve itsplf into a committee of the "wh < i 5 e House , for the pnrp-. se of taking li to its mist serious roi . sideration the present condition of ihe Pr-kdorti'f- C ' l' ^ s ^ es of tiie United KinEOom with a view to providing tor Oldr PROFITABLE EHPLt ) TME > T and the impTxir-emenl of their condition " The motion is an important one , whatever may be its fate .
? . lr . Fkrrakd seems to have buckled on his armour afresh , to batfle with the Leagued Fre > r-Tradlng Oppressors of the Poor- His speech on the " Address" gave evidence of that fact ; and what was then wanting to snow his f nll intentions r -girding the confederated band ef Freebooters , ? s abundantly supplied by the Amendment which ha has given notice , that he will move in opposition to Mr . Yiu . itfis ' s motion for another Extension" of our " Capital diminishing" Foreign Trade . Taat
Amendment is a tickler for tbe League men Lit the reader note it well ! It is not often that motions containing so mneh truth , and evincing such indubitable pro&fs of courage ar > d ^ landing up for the rights of the poor , are made in tbe H « u ? e of Commons . The " Debate , " when the Amendm-nt comes to be discussed , will be an interesting me ! if tbe u forms of tbe Hou = e" will permit Mr Fterand to move it . It will be seen that the Speaker hintod tba » the terms of it Bhould he rxco . nsidebed ! Tht y are too truthful to be palatable .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thdrsdat Feb . 9 . Their Lordship * assembled ai five o'clock . Seme * - talk" abont * ' Ribbonism" in Ireland took place , afu r which . Lord Stanhope brought forw&rd the morion of which he had givtn notice on the
DISTBESS OF THE C 0 r > TBT . On the order of the day being read , Lord Stakhope rose and said that he was aware I that a humble individual like himself , atlachidto no political party , had little hope or expectat-on of support in any motion he might submit . He did not conMder the results of a Parliamentary inquiry as , ihe test of truth . Mr . Fox had declared that a i mii-orhy of the House of Commons frtqucnily spoke the public opinion truly , and that it was especially true with regaid tc the docirinesof free trade , wh ' ch might be acceptable to persons of fixea incomes , but thf-y wer * odiona and injurious to all ihe productive clas » e > .

He himself knew of two estates in the West Indies , formerly yielding £ 10 , 000 a-year , and new allowed to go out of cultivation . He couH not help expressing on that occasion his condemnation of th 9 present tariff , —a measure adopted with tbe utmost rashness , and with a most reckless disregard of consequenoes , —a measure which might be considered more revolutionary , not in its political , but in its social effects , ihan any that had ever been proposed . That measure had greatly diminished ihe value of agricultural produce , while it had not led to any revival of manufacturing prospority , or to any alleviation of
manufacturing distress . Uuder its operation we had admitted foreign agricultural produce , to the depreciation of our own , whilo foreigners had purchased It S 3 than ever of tho products of British industry : thus showing ihe folly of the main arguments by which the measure had been supported He thought their Lordships had i , o right 10 pass measures aff , ciing the labouring clasoes , who were not represented in the other Houso of Parliament . To show the siate of the country , in January last , he attended a vestry meeting , and there it was stated that ther . Wire fory four labourers out of rmplcyment in the parish . The farmers stated that they had plenty of woik for them , but thoy had no means to pay them . It had been stated that twi > -

" T / a ir Lord-hip's were aware that tho revc nue « : erived from ihe Excise was justly considered as a c-rrect criterion of ihe siat < i and condition o'' the people , —cvlltcod : is it was from a great variet } ' of aitioics of gfi . eral consumption , and tViat revenue had declined last quarter , £ 7 u 0 , lM ) 0 , as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1841 . Hoknew it had been said that thin was one of the consequences of the manufacturing di > tve--s ; bm' he should like to know whether the mamfacturing distress had been greater in the last quarter of last year than in the third quar- er . Wr . at a di- ^ ract'ful contrast did this coantry
t-xhibi : ii < comparison with Frar . c (! The Government of that country had been warned by our example , and bctn induced * . o follow a d ff ^ rent course , ami give protection to tho industry >> f its manufacturing population . The productive and industrial cla . see . had ari ^ nt to demand such prutiction , and if thc-y were not ssuffit'ien'ly prot ^ cud , no country cou'd brt prosperous or fecure . It could not prosper , if those classes that should be consumers were too poor to purehas-e ; and it could wot be secuTe , because distress roado tbrm th « reudy torfa of political drmagogu > b . Unless protectivm wero given to the labourisig classes , their lordships could not expect their allegiance , and if they bad not their allegiance , they mirht apprehtud disorganization and confutliey m ' - ^ ht apprehf ud disorganization and

He would quote the words of one who was a real patriot , a T . > ry of true character , not one of those ; who called theinselvts Conservatives , a term now do- . void of meaning , he meant Sir J .

If he had been actuated , as he never j had been and mver wouid be , by any factious j mot : vep , or any other mo'ive than a conscientious and ardent desire to avert that revolution which seemed
rapidly approaching this unhappy and ill-governed coumry , and if he were only anxious to collect the voices of those who agre > d with him in opinion , and to catch Bomestray vote .-, he should move fora commitse of inquiry ; but such a wide inquiry , embracing such a vaney o topics , must , of itself bo most unsti ^ Factory .

He moved " that ihis House do resolve itself into a Committee of tbe wholt House , for the purpose of taking into its most serious consideration the present condition of the productive classes in the united kingdom , with the view of providing for thtir profitable employment and for the due remuneration of their industry . "
Lord Ripon vindicated their Lordships from any imputation of indifference to the sufferings of their fellow-suljects ; and afar britfly dtmonstiatiug the impossibility of entering upon such an invet-t gation as that proposed thraugh the cumbrous machinery of a committee of the whole House , denied that either Sir R Pee ) or himcclf had since their present tenure of office expressed a single sentimflnt with reforpneo to the restrictive system which they had not formerly avowed . Experience had proved that tho reinuval of the prohibition on foreign
manufactures had produced no i ! l i-. ffect ; and although the price of" meat had fallen , it would be absurd to attribute that to the importation of 3 , 126 cattle—a larjje proportion of which were unfit tor food . Tae Noble Lord , af . er shortly noticing the repeal of the in . w Corn LawK , the Tariff , and the discouragemeut of machinery , es recommended by Lord Stanhope , entreated thtir Lorrj . iinps not to consent to any *> uch inquiry as that suggested , as of necessity emiiiig in the disappointment of those whose distress was so much to be lamented .
Lord BEAUJDNTdiclared his intention of supporting Lord Stanhopu ' s motion , as one object of it was to amend thejeondition of the labourer , whore prospects now appeared almost desperate . Lord Bkougham riiiculed the tone taken by Lord Stanhope on the su > j ct of froe trade , as if it had been the principle ou which all legislation of late years had been conducted , and regretted , on the contrary , that pro ; - etion and prohibition were still so much in force . But littl j , it at any rate seemvd , need be feared froai tho advance the new tariff had made in ( hai directiou upon cattle . With the disapprobation whirh had been txp ' essed ot' the Anti-Corn L'iw L ° ague and its proceedings , however , he mo :: t heartily concurred , aDd the more so because he considered ihe means it had adopted most prt judicial to a good cause . The violence and txa ^ -
g * -ration of win .- of the statements it had put forth * and its atiempts to excite discontent , bad done much to retard the progress of its doctrines ; but above all he feii called on to express his disgust and abhorrence at suiiie words used lately in the metropolis , and amcnn an assembly cf persons clothed with sacred functions , whi « h appeared to recommend as-agination . He trusted tuat those person would be called to answer for such expressions at a trial which was now pending , and to which he could not therefore further ad vert . The Noble Lord then , after commending the peaceful and forbearing conduct of the people under graat privations , piotessed his distrust of all the measures which had been suggested as a means of relief , and deprecated the 1101 ion of commencing so booiit&s and endless an ifrquiiy as that proposed .
Lord Had > "ok , Lord Asububton , and Lord Clanbicahde also shortly aoo ) e .- » ed the Houso ; ai )' arura few words from L ^ ru Stanhope in reply , their Lordships divioed , negativing the motion by a majority of 25 to 4 .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Thursday , Feb . 9 . The Speaker took the Chair at ihe usual hoar . Mr . Fehrand prtsented a petition from several persons working in coal mines m Scotland , assembled at a place in L nurkbhire . Tiie petitioners stated that the am"unt of their labour was very un fairly weighed , a ; id prayed that the weights mi ^ ht be taken at the botiom of the pits instead of at the ffi » uth . The p-titioners also stated that they w . re entirely at the mercy of their masters , and tb : u hitherio their pit . itions to that House had always been met with inattntiou , although tti-y wen- upai a subject of mHch importance to the working miners of Scotland .
Mr . T . Duncombe prpsn-. ted six pttitions against Lord Abiager , from Hull , . Norwich , Barni-Iey in Yorkshire , Maryirbone . Lon ^ hboroush , and Newport , I-le of W ^ ght » Tne petitions were all agreed to at puohc meetingF . The petitioners btated that they deeply regretted and sympathised with the distressing state of the labouring population as shown particularly in the late outbreak in the Northern and Midland counties . The petitioners would readily admit that persons violating the law ought to be punished , but they thought that that punishment ought to be in proportion to the wrong
inflicted on society . They considered that the administration of justice ought to be tempered with mercy , and they thought it ought more particularly to be so Under tbe circumstances under which the poor had suffered during the last winter . They also stat ' d that there were many instances during the late special commission in which the sentences were very severe . Many individuals w-ere tried at Chester and Liverpool , before Lord Abiager , whose trials , the pe-TiUonersconsidered , badbo « . neoncucl . edwichpartiaJity , The petitioners stated that the Rt . Hon . Lord Abingir Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Exchequer , had delivered certain charges wuich . thepeti Joa-. rs hum-

bly represented to the House were highly improper as proceeding from a , judge on the bench—charges which were of a political tendency , aud calculated to prejudice , mislead , and excite the minds of che jury to whom such charges were addressed ; aud the petitioners therefore humbly prayed the House to institute an inquiry into the proceedings before the late special commission , as in their wisdom the House might think fit ; and they further prayed that should such inquiry substantiate the allegations of the petition , that the House would address Her Majesty that she might be pleased to visit James Lord Abin ^ er with such a mark of Her Royal displeasure as would induce future Judges to support the dignity of justice by impartiality , and keep it unsullied by party spirit and rancour . —( Hear , hear . )

That the a stern lately introduced by many of tne manufacturers in this country , of never recognising tbe principle that trade can only be healthy and prosperous when the supply keeps pace with the demand , has had a fatal , iy paralysing influence upon all descriptions ot trade , whiiat tiie introduction of the powor-loom and

With aiiy other of tho topics he wouid not interfere . Mr .

The Sphaker was afraid that the notice of motion was not in aecordaned with the rules of the House , lie thought that tho Hon .

Mr . C . Wood , in tho absence of Mr . Labouchere , who had given the nonce , moved for pap » rs respecting duties on Wheat imported from the Uniied S ates into Canada , or from Canada into the United Kingdom , since tho firs- day of la « t year . Lord Stanley was willing to produce the papers , and the nioiun was consequently agreed to . Mr .

He wished to know tho views of the Government and of tho directors on this important Subj ; Ot .
Mr . Bingkam Baring vindicated Lord Ellenborough for Having brought back the gates , on the ground that a negotiation which had taken place between Schah Soojah and Runjeet Sinirb , when the latter was asked by the former for succour , bad evinci-d that the possession of thase gates was considered by the Hindoos as a elory , and the surrender of ihtni as a disgrace . Tho Governor-General had had iu intention to identify hiuib . If wiih the idolatry of t ); e people , nor was his conduct regarded with displeasure by the Mahomedann , wi . o rejoiced to see thtt tide of conquest turned back upon their Aff .-han tnemies . The proclamation showed
nodisposi i' . n to accredit thesa trophies as religious objec'K , vr in any other view than as svmMj of v ; ot'iry . Tho plain , practical good souse of the English people would judge men by their acts . aiid would hoi forget th « realized effects of Lord Kik-nburoiit : i ' = policy . H ' ts object had been to ii . fi ;¦•¦< ¦ on the Ati ' ^ biiis a punishment , which should be t ' . lt as severe and yet not bo inhuman . No despatch had accompanied the proclamatior * . but if there were any pa ^? ugr ^ in any of Lord EllenDorough's pubiio letters which could throw light on tl . o s > u j ct , those p ? st 8 ages should be produced with ihe pro clsmauon .
Sir li . Inglis said , that Sir R . P . *> 1 , by not at ooce disclaiming the proclamation , had forced individual members to rise aud express their displtvsure at u . The defence made by the last speaker had been wholly unsuccessful . Sir R . Peux said , ho had not thought himsJf called on to m * ke the early declaration expected by Sir K . In ^ l's , because this was a motion ouly for papers , the mover stating that be intended < o ground an ulterior motion on them when produced . It would have been fairer in the mover , instead ef prefacing the present motion with a speech upon the merit , to inquire whether the papers would be granted . Mr . Smith should have die rusted himself
by reason of the prejudice which , as a warm partisan , he must needs entertain against a Governor who had reversed the policy of the Whig predecessor . Whatever might be thought of the act done , at all events , in point of intention , Lord Ellenboreugh was most remote from anyihing like connivance at idolatry . Ho drew a spirited parallel between the weak and miserable plight in which Lord Ellcnborou ^ h M his landing in India , in February , 1 C 4 " 2 , had ibuud the resources of the country , aua the iriunaphant state iu which , bv hi = energy and courage , those rtsources now exit . ! ad in February , 1843 . He would not undertake to justify every passage of the proclamation ; but he would appeal to ihu justice ot tlu

Hoase , whether this motion came appropriately from that party , by tbe reversal of who 3 e policy Lord Ellenborpugh had achieved his Bnccesses , and whether the fit reward for such services was a vote of condemnation from Parliament ? After some observations from Mr . Mangles and Mr . Hume , j Lord John ; Russkll remarked that Sir Robert Peel , though using guarded official terms , had himself censured the proclamation , if ho had not even sent lout a rebuke to Lord Ellenborough .
He would have willingly refrained from taking a share in the debate , had Sir Robert Peel not attempted to ! carry off the proclamation by an attack onj the late Government . Lord Edenborough was not censured for an isolated aet . He had grossly in&ulted men of character and station in India ; he had , in one of his proclamations , made a foolish and puerile attack on his predecessor ; he had falceiy represented the motives of the invasion of Afghanistan ; and he indulged in a ludicrous and self-contradiciory absurdi'y when he talked about confining India " within its naturallimits . "
Mr . C Bulleb thought tho Government would find reason to regret that they bad challenged inquiry into the general conduct of Lord Ellenborough , instead of suffering him to be condemned upon a single issue . He desired to have tome further pipers , which Sir R . Peel agreed to produce . Mr . V . Smith said a few words in reply , a-iid the debase couoluded , the papeTs moved for bdi : g ordered . : The House then adjourned .

LEEDS . —Deaths by Burning —On Tuesday evening , two iuquosts wero held at the Courf Hous « , before John Blackburn , E q ., to enquire concerning ; the deaths of two persons , which had resulted f-om burning . Tne first was on the body of Mary Ann Greenwood , who was talceu to the Infirmary on the 11 th of January , having sustained very considerable injuries in various parts of her person by her clothes having caught fire . She wa , s 19 yeara of age , and resided in Wortley Lano . She is a married woman , and on the day mentioned , was standing by the fire in her own house ; a poker had been left in the fire , wh-ch had bt-cbiiie red hot , and ihts she took out .
stirred up the fire , and accidentally touched her dresa with it ; and set it on fire . She ran out of the house with her clothes blazing , and was very much burnt before they could be extinguished . She died on Montiay morning . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . " —The second inquest was on the body of Joseph Farrar , aged five years , who resided wiih his parents at NuwjTown , and on Saturday last , by some mischance or other , set hia clothes on fire . It is rather bingular that be also was playing with the poker at the time , and made it red hot , but whether he set his clothes on fire with it , or that they came in contaot wiih the fire in the gra e , could not bo shown . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "
Thb Town Council—This body held a q-iar rr ^ y meeting on Wadne .- ^ ay last . Thoy did very iitcie beyond voting further sum * of the people ' s moii ' y , u-ider the guise of " Iracrovoment . " A report of their prooeedings would occupy more space than it would be worth . Suicide—On Thursday , Mr . John Caton , shoemaker , Land s 4 an « , tenniiiated his existence by drowning himself in the riv- r Aire , near the Britaniua Mill . He had been for some in a desponding state of mind . A Dkfaulter—At tha latter end of last we * k , a coiititieinhl clerk > a the employ of Mts ? rs . Payuo , Eddisoh , and Ford , solicitors , absconded , leaving defiueations in his accounts to a cousukra-We amount . Hia name is George Jenkiijs .

Several trce 3- wore blown down , in ; various parts of the suburb * , and slates and iil « s ihnunit ' . rablo s'rewed the streets and roaiis in all directions : whil-i brick and stone walls , pallia .-aiiing , & (} ., were It ; -lied , in exposed situations , wirhout ( iistitiction . We are happy to have to say that no loss of life has occurred , but
providential escapes innumerable . A largo sign in Parklano , belonging to Messrs . Edwin and Birchall and Son , was blown down ; it fell upon a female who was pa-sing , but , instead of falling on h ? r head , it caught her side , down which it j / Hded , j and though she was stunned , aud very much frightened , we are glad to say she escaped without further material : injury . The most important acci-: dent we have heard of , occurred about the same hour , at the residence of J . O . March , Esq ., No . 18 , Blenheim Terrace , where a stack of chimneys . at the roar , was blown down , and t ! je failing bricks ' and stones , falling on the roof , forced their way into , a room on the second story , occupied as a nursery , ihe floor of which was luckily sufficiently strong to ' bear the weight which was thus suddenly thrown
upon it . In theiroorn were two children , who hap- : pened to be in the only corner which was protected , and who consequently escaped almost unhurt , one ' , of them only sustaining a slight cut in the leg , from ! Rome of the falling materials . They were both , as may be imagined , greatly alarmed , but from this 1 we are happy tojsay , they have now recovered , and j are doing well . The wea ! her has since moderated . ClfAYTOSJj . —Stobm— On Saturday last the neighbourhood of Clayton Heights was visited by a tremendous storm of wind , accompanied with snow . ' A good many wjndowb were blown out , and several roofs were blown , off . So fearful was the storai that 1 the inmates left their houses for fear of their lives .
