There was no appearance of the poor creature at the
surface of the water then , but ir .-igs were procured , and she w * s taken out after about ten minutes' immersion ; tnt they could not get into a public-house , and she was taken to the Hackney police-station , nearly a mile distant , and was then dead . —The witness said , it was his opinion that the prisoner , who told Jura the female was li-s wire , could have saved her if hehadliked , but when Bbe ran to the water , he talked in a contrary way . —The constable said , he wanted the prisoner to assist them in their efforts to restore bis wife , but he would not do so , to take the least notice of her .

for a week . SOUTHWAItK . A Member of the Sweil Mob Captobed James Gatsil , a fashionably attired young man , wearing a blue cloth cloak , with velvet collar , and lined with silk , was "brought before Mr . Seeker , charged with having stolen a pocket book , containing various documents of value , from the person of a gentlemen , named C . P . Turner . ¦ The complainant stated that between two and three o ' clock that day as he was passing through the Borough Ifaifcet he felt a tug at Bis coat pocket , and missing his pocket-book from an inside pocket he immediately turned round , and observing no person sear him but the prisoner , who was enveloped in a cloak , he at once charged lim with having picked his pocket . The prisoner , however , assuming to be amazed , at the nature of the
accusation , denied it , oud walked away at a quick pace , but he was followed by the complainant who seized him by the collar , arid repeating the charge , expressed liis intentien to give him into custody . At that moment the oomj > lainant saw his pocket-book fall on the ground at the feet of the prisoner , who then tried to disengage himself , and in effecting" this in the struggle he left his cloak in the hands of complainant , and ran away . The complainant , however , pursued him from the market into the Southwark Bridge-road , where he came up to him , and seizing him again , a desperate struggle teok place , during which they both fell down , by which time apoliceman came to the spot , secured the prisoner , and tosk him to the station house . The prisoner ' s fashionable cloak , and also the complainant ' s pocket book , were produced in Court . When the complainant made his
statement , the prisoner , addressing the magistrate , said—Tour worship , this charge , for which there are no just grounds , lias come upon me like a thundee clap . 1 there fore wish that I may have an opportunity of having the assistance ofa professional advishr before I enter oh my defence . Mr . Seeker said the complainant had given a ¦ rery minute account of tl : e transaction , and probably the prisoner would just explain wliy lie ran away , if he was an innocent man , leaving his cloak iu the hands of the gentleman who made the charge against him ! The prisoner said that the attack upon him was so instantaneous , when he was c ! iarg-d with stealing the pocket look , that he ran away in order to set a policeirau to take his assailant into custody . Policeman 151 M stated
that when he came to the spot both the complainant and prisoner were struggling on the ground , the latter using ihe most strenuous exertions to make his escape . When the prisoner was secured , he expressed a hope the complainant would not press any charge against him , as he lad got back his pocket book . Mr . Seeker said , the facts were so clear against the prisoner , that he could not do otherwise th 2 n send him before a Jury , whenhe wwuld hare aii opportunity of retaining professional assistance jn his defence . The prisoner was theu committed . Prom the circumstanca of some of tha " swell mob " being seen lui king abuut the avenues of the Court during the fxamication , and to have disappeared immediately after it was over , it is strongly suspected the prisoner is one of the members of the fraternity .

mile from the ship before she tras pitted up , and she was brought on board iu a state of complete insensibility , and bj dinry of great esertion she was recovered and brought to London . She was in a state of great suffering , and was not expected to recover . She was removed to the workhouse in Wapping , where she had ever since remained . The prisoner , who was iu a very low nervous state , said that the only account she could give was , that she was annoyed by the crew and persons on board , that she was quite out of her mind , and hardly knew what she did . Mr . Eroderip asked the pri . soner what she meant ! The prisoner , tremblingly , said the men on board were very insulting both in word and deed , so much ra that she could not rest anywhere , and she should be ashamed to meet her husband again . Mr . Broderip asked the second mate of the steamer if there
• was any truth in the woman ' s statement ? J ones—Xone at all , Sir . This is her second voyage .

The prisoner , wto exhibited no signs of insanity , muttered in a low tone that she could not ^ express herself more distinctly , but she had suffered much on her voyage . Mr . Ur « derip , after what , he had Iward , should direct the prisoner to be taken back to ihc workiouse , and a strict inquiry to be made into the truth of the serious allegations she had made . la his opinion , the prisoner was not iu a fit state of mind to bti suffered to go at large at present . The prisoner , who persisted in her statements , was then led back to the -workhouse , and will ba brought up again on a future day .

MARVELLOUS RAILWAY INCIDENT . On Mondav last , October 12 , a gentleman of the name of Parker , of Sydenham , Kent , was trarelling by the mail-train from Derby to London . iu a first-class carriage : his only corap . -inion being a gentleman about SO rears of age , remarkably handsome and perfectly gentlenianlv in his appearance and manners . Alter some preliminary conversation , Jic requested to have the window kept open , and offered Air . Parker his wrapper if he felt inconvenienced by the coU . Other conversation ensued , and he stated that he once possessed a large fortune which he had squandered ; that he had now iotiivd from the army , and bad not been so nappy for a Jong period as at tliat moment ; adding that some friend . had given liim £ 1 , 100 to pay his debts , and £ 500 more to buy furniture : and that the first thing he intended to do
• was to buy a dressing-case , which woukl cost him 35 guIneaa . whlchMi ' . l ' ai'korremai-kedliu thought would be a great pity , as no doubt he already possessed one . After some further conversation , which bejian to alarm Mr . Parker , he suddenly dropped on his knees and In a most energetic aud fervent niiianer prayed for bis friends tlie Dukes of Beaufort and Wellington , and more particularly that his dear mother , who had died in Ms infancr , should appear , &m . After rising from his knees he exclaimed to Mr . Parker , "Did you hear a noise ? You must have heard that God was speaking to me . " At tue same moment a train passed , the engine of which ne declared to be hell . Mr . Parker by this time being greatly alarmed tried in vain to sooth him ; his only reply was , " Havejourepentedof your sins ? " at the same
time throwing off Ms boots , coat , and shirt , with his gold watch , chiin , and seals ; he began to slap Mr . Parker in the face , exclaiming , " You must come along with me I" and thrusting his own head through the window he cat hig head and neck in a most shocking manner , and was soon covered with Wood . Be then returned with double fury and beat Mr . Parker about the head and face severely- Expecting to be murdered every moment , Mr . Parker entreated liim ( in order to gain time ) to pray again , which he instantly did , while Mr . Parker , at the imminent risk of his life , opened the door and made his way to the next carriage , where there was only
one gentleman , who , having heard all that hai passed , helped him in and shut the door . They had scarcely done ibis when the madman appeared , endeavouring to force his way in also , and it required the united efforts of both to keep him out , so he returned to Ms carriage . TMs happened near the Watford station . Frequent and uHavailfcg appeals were made to the guard for assistance , stating that a gentleman was dying , and the reply was that , being tfter their time they could cot stop , as the ^ Manchester train was close behind them . 1 his , however , was no excuse for the guard not SP ^ S to the carriage to ascertain what was tbe matter .

Jacobs delivered an address to the Upholsterers' Society " , at White ' s Coffee-house , Irongate-street , which gave general satisfaction . Another meeting was agreed on to entertain the question of joining . Wednesday Evening . —A meeting of Dandy-looni weavers was held in the Dressers' Hall , Charlottelane , to hear an address from Mr . Jacobs , on the advantage of national association . The lecture was warmly responded to . and a vote passed that it wag the best means that had yet ben proposed to redeem the weavers from their degradation and poverty ; and that a meeting of all the hands about Glasgow be convened in some central room , to hear a second lecture on the subject . A committee was then elected to cam out the resolution .
Thnrsday . —Mr . Jacobs attended the second meetins of the ironmoulders in Nelson-street Chipel , and delivered a lecture on "The grievances of the trades , the philosophy of strikes ; " and clearly showed that the National Association would be able to put an end to them for ever , and create vast wealth for the working class under the employment system . At the close , several questions were asked and answered satisfactorily : first—had Mr . J . any credentials to show he was duly appointed ? The lecturer replied , "Here is our scrip book , from which I shall be most happy to give any gentlemen present receipts for shares , if they feel disposed to purchase . " The book was then examined , and all parties declared themselves satisfied with the manner in which the society conducted its business . A committee was then appointed to go through the rules , and see the necessary business for joining and report next meeting night .
Friday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs addressed the sawyers—their second meeting on the subject . The lecturer set forth that it was the only means by which the sawyers could command their trade ; that the iron man was rapidly encroaching on . Join , then , said he . and become masters of the iron man , and your life will become a holiday of happiness . At the close , a vote of thanks was passed , and the committee instructed to sec the necessary matters on joining , and to bear their share , with other trades , of an aggregate meeting in the City Hall .
TO THE MANCHESTER DISTRICT COMMITTEE , AND TnE DELEGATES TO THE LATE CONFERENCE OF UNITED TRADES HELD AT THE HALL OF SCIENCE , MANCHESTER . Gentlemen . —A printed circular has been sent to me ( as one of the delegates to the late Conference , ) from Manchester , signed by Gavin Thomson , and James Gouldin . animadventing very strongly on the actions of the Central Committee of United Trades ' , and soliciting my opinion in writing on the subject in question . A copy has also been sent to my colleague , ( Mr . Buckby , ) and I presume from that , that every other delegate as also received a copy of the same . How my brother delegates In the Midland Counties , may advise is not for me to determine ; but whatever they advise , letit be publicly known , for secrecy is the bane of all societies .
I am not one who desires to foment hatred and discord among any clas =. but when secret circulars are being distributed through the association , on ex pane evidence , I think the act is likely to entrap some into wrong and hasty conclusions . The questions submitted by the Manchester friends for our opinions , arc ( I admit ) , of great magnitudes , therefore , we ouiht to be very cautious , how we act , before we judge in the matter . With these views , I have no objections to state my honest conviction ot the affair , and deliver my opinion . in the paper in question , and in ( loin ? so , I will divide the questions into sections , and deliver my opinion upon them seriatim . First , — The Central Committee are charged with violating a resolution of Conference , relating to the support of the builders and others in Manchester , Liverpool , ifcc . who had ( justly ) abstained from labour through the introduction of an obnoxious document .
On this question great difference of opinion existed , and were manifested by the delegates in Conference assembled , whether the builders and others who bad just joined the association , were entitled to receive any monies as a levy from tha association , until six months had elapsed from their time of entrance , which after a warm discussion was carried . Opinion , —I believe no blame can be , or is att tellable to the action * or motives of the Central Committee , for not adhering strictly to the vote of Conference , for the followins reason . That the discontent
among several of the delegates on the question of acting in opposition to the first resolution of Conference , were the cause of many neglecting to remit their levies to the Central Committee , while others were engaged in struggles for the maintenance of their wages , and had to support men week after week and inentli after month from their local funds , which prevented the officers of the local bodies remitting their share according to law , therefore , preventing the Central Committee from affording that relief you should have received for supporting the men under you care and in your district :
Secondly—The Committee are charged with not answering a memorial which had been transmitted to the President . On this point I find a difficulty , either to answer or sive my opinion upon it , for the following reason : — It is questionable with me , whether eithtr the committee « r general secretary could , with propriety , take upon themselves the responsibility of answering a document sent to their president , except by his special permission and authority . Because it was seMt to the president , and not to them ; therefore , it took the character of a private document . Thirdly—Questions was asked of deep importanceto the trades in general , which were answerdd in a formal and unsatisfactory manner . In this c se no opinion can be given , inasmuch SB it is not stated what questions were asked , or answers given .
Fourthly—The provincial members hare not been consulted . Opinion—I think they ought to be according to rule , "ifnecessary . " Fifthly—The question asked concerning the foreman and maker up , where the master desires his work to be done by the piece instead of day labour , is a question I think which comes within the province of the local committee , rather than the central or national One . Reason—Because the various local associations are all governed by various laws , —and each trade has , I presume , senarate internal laws for the government
of their members—which no general or national laws can interfere with ; consequently , where such is the case , my opinion is , they should be supported from a local fund ( unless it is a case of an extraordinary nature ) , for I consider that no party can deal with technicalities but those who understand them , and for whose especial beneSt these local restrictions are made ; but , if a general reduction is attempted upon the weekly wages , or piece , of any body of men who are bona . juie members of the association , then it becomes the duty of the general body to interfere and obviate the difficultv bv their united exertions .
Sixthly—Is a casual workman during a press of trade , who may be thrown out of a job , entitled to the support of the association , who may be deprived of employment through some act of oppression . ^§ 5 Op inion—I believe the act of oppression should first be laid before the Central committee , before any circumstance could be ( justly ) derided upon , because there is many ways to oppress , and many to cause oppression . Sevcnhtly—1 think the answer given by the Central Committee was a just one , viz . —They must know the particular act of oppression , before they can give their opinion respecting it .
Eightly—If it is the intention of the Manchester Committee , to change the policy of the Central Committee , it must be done by a change of officers ; and to change the officers at a time like the present , would be utter and irretrievable ruin to the working classes , and to the association ; and to attempt to change the line of policy which has hitherto been acted upon with such great success , would be the height of folly , . The object of the association is not so much to cnconragestrikes , asitistopreventthenecessityfortheni . Its aim is to raise the working classes gradually from their present degrading position ; and should the association diverge irom its present course , what will be the result ? Shall we not be cast backwards , and sink deeper in the gulph of misery , than we were before ? " ~ :
Brothers , rather than send a firebrand through the country to destroy and mar the good feeling that exists in the society , wave your claims till the proper time , and until the association is in trim to meet nil demands . Sooner than destroy all , let us rebut local aggressions , by local force , and local assistance . I trust that the friends In Manchester , will re-read

MEETING OF THE OPERATIVE COTTON SPINNERS OF GLASGOW . A general meeting of the operative cotfon spin " - ners of Glasgow and neighbourhood has been held to hear a lecture by Mr . C . Doyle , one of the Executive of the National Charter Association , on Trades Unions and the social condition of the working classes generally . The ah » ve meetin" took place in Mr . Rose ' s chapel , on Friday the 10 th instant , the place was well filled , and great attention was paid to the lecturer . Mr . D . Sherrisgton was ' called to the chair , and , after a few brief remarks on the value of having such men as Mr . Doyle to instruct them in regard to their social and political rights , introduced the lecturer to the meeting .
Mr . Doyle on rising was loudly cheered . He said that he had come forward at thesolicitations of their oommittee to offer a few remarks on the necessity of union ; but while he did so , they were to understand that in advocating iinion , he wns not to be considered as fully approving of the present system of unions as adopted by the generality of trades . IIo was , in favour of ' isolated unions , se far as they tended to check the inroads of capital on the wages of working men ; he was convinced , however , that unless a more extended system of union was entered into by the trades of this country , they could never hope to permanently better their condition , and , as a proof ot this assertion , he had only to point to the results : had they been the means of preventing reductions of those united ? ad
taking place in the wages so - mitting they had been the means of retarding the downward progress of labour , nevertheless that downward course had continued . lie then dwelt upon the combination of employers to reap as great profits as possible , and the social power they possessed over the employed . He then declared that if the masters were united , that the men ought to be more so , from the fact that the masters' unions were unions for the purpose of cheapening labour . He went over the improvements that had taken place in the spring mules , in ' such a manner , that many were asking the question— " Had Mr , Doyle been a spinner ? " He gave an instance of what had taken place in t one factory in Manchester , where there had been eight men employed , earning £ 2 per week each , the same uumber of spindles were now wrought by two men ,
who only got £ 1 4 s . per week , and this certainly demonstrated the blessings consequent upnn the improvement of machinery . He asked , What was to become of the surplus thus created ? Unless mea > sures were taken for employing those thrown out of work by giving them labour upon thorland , or in manufactures , whereby they would have the benefit of reaping the fruits of their own labour , he could see no hope for them . These measures would , however , be adopted either by co-operation—by joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , or as trades nationally . But the grand means of remedy were to be found in the obtainment of political power , by the enactment of the People ' s Charter . Mr . Doyle then sat down , after delivering one of the moat instructive and heart-stirring lectures it has been our lot to hear for a long time . He was much applauded
throughout . Mr . Samuel IIill moved a vote of thanks to the locturer . Carried with three times three . Mr . DortE replied , and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman . The meeting then separated .
IRON STEAM-SHIP AND BOILER-BUILDERS OF LONDON . TO THE EDITOR OP TUB NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —There appeared in your paper last week a letter , headed " Iron Steam-ship and Steam-boiler building , injurious effects of piece-work , " < &c . As a member of the Boiler-makers Society , 1 feel indignant at the calumnious libels contained in this letter , on the pperatires of that body . The gross falsehoods contained in the said letter are too apparent to need much comment . The author of the letter , after having been nurtured in the bosom of the society , instigated , if not originated , a strike at Mr . Penn ' s , at Deptford , an employer than whom there is not a better in the three kingdoms , and after
accomplishing that , started to Liverpool , leaving hia deluded dupes in the lurch . The origin of what he terms a strike , arose as follows : Some of the men had agreed not to work piece-work . According the general laws of the society , no man is allowed to take job-work without acquainting liia shopmates , and stating the price he is to have for such work , so that the men will know that he is not working under price , and that he is not deceiving the masters . This we consider to be fair between employer acd employed . One man in Mr . Penn ' s shop had overlooked this , for which he was fined according to our article , which Mr . Penn came to hear of , on which he posted a written notice in his boiler makers ' shop , the postscript of which was— " That all who persist in the
above attempt must quit my employ on Saturday next , Sept . 17 , 1816 . ( Signed ) John Penn , Deptlord Green . " The men never informed the lodges in the district of this , but went to work on Monday morning as usual , ' and worked until Tu esday ""forenoon , when they struck without informing the district committee , who ' are specially appointed to arbitrate in all disputes between masters and men . As above stated , the author of the letter in last week ' s Star led . the men into this fix , and then started off to Liverpool , expecting to reap the reward of his perfidy from Thomas Vernon , whom he has dubbed "Esquire . " Corlett appears to have forgotten that Mr . Laird , of "Woodside , built the " Birkenhead , " and Mr . Wilson
built the "Iron Duke , " which he says were built by Mr . Vernon . Can he assert that he has ever seen work put out of a master ' s hands in a style superior to that which is done under the inspection and direction of Mr . John Westwood , foreman of Messrs . Ditchbuin and Mares ' , Iron Ship builders , of Blackwall ; which firmhas built more Iron Vesselsin the last seven years , than all the masters in Liverpool put together ? Can he tell what Mr . Vernon wanted _ to do with the list of the London prices , when surveying the " Pottinger" built by Mr . Fairbairn and Son , of Mill Wall ; a vessel the rival of which is yet to be found , built under the sole inspection of Mr . Jamc 3 Massey , their respected foreman . Now , as there is a all
surveyor appointed by government to superintend Iron Steam Vessels , is it not placing the masters and that gentleman in a very unfavourable light , could credit be given to the gross falsehoods Corlett has asserted ? What will the Messrs . MaudsJey , Field , and Co ., Messrs . Seaward and Co ., Messra . Miller and Ravenhill , Mr . Fairbairn . Mr . Penn , Messrs . Robinsons , and other Master Boiler Makers say , if they hear of Corlett ' s falsehoods . While desirous of improving our own conditions , we desire to maintain the reputation of our employers . Sir , I will not further trespass on your valuable columns . By inserting this you will oblige the Friendly Boiler Makers Society of the London District . Alexander Fletcher .
P . S . We , the undersigned , having heard the above read in general meeting assembled , approve of its contents , and hereby authorize Brother Alexander Fletcher , to forward the same to the Northhm Star for insertion . William Archer , President . Richard Russell , Past President . John Macnamara , District Secretary .

CHARTIST - ~ ASSEMBLY-. AMD-RE ADING ROOM , 83 , DEAN-STREET . This elegant room was densely crowded by the friends of the Charter on Sunday erening , October 18 th , to hear a lecture from Mr . Philip M Grath on "G overnment , its uses and abuses . " Mr . > v . Young Sowter , was unanimously called to the chair . The Lectuheb proceeded to review the three estates of the realm , " King , Lords , and Commons , and took the . position of denying the truth of * ne axiom laid down by those famous political writers , Thomas Paine and William Godwin , " that Government is a necessary evil , " stoutly contending that good government must be good , and not an evil , tie said the fallacy of making two branches of our legislature hereditary was rendered obvious , as neither if the
judges nor bishops were hereditary , and surely hereditary principle was good , it would be applied in the lattor cases . As regards the so-called Commons , " it was not a House of Commons at all , seeing that the majority of the common people were denied the right of a voice in electing its members , and its members were composed of the sons of Peers , their nominees , Baronets . Knights , Officers in the army , navy , &c , &o . We talked of Constitutions , but hia opinion was that England wanted a Constitution . He thought the laws should be based on the laws of God , as the laws of God and-of nature , partook largely of the essence of equality . He knew their were some who would not take any but an indifferent part in advocating the suffrage for man , who were vet active in advocating the rights of suffrage for women . lie could not perceive the necessity of giving woman the suffrage . He thought when their that their brothers and
Charter enfranchised men , husbands would protect their rights . The abuse of eoverment was . shewn in the adoption of Foor-Iaws , Enclosure Bill * , < fce . Mr . M'Grath then alluded in lauditory terms to the Reading room established in tliat Institution , and detalted its great merits and advantages to the working classes , and strongly appealed for support in its behalf . He also mentioned with approbation the Central Registration and Election Committee , and hoped the men of Westminster would not fail to elect a local committee to act in concert with it , as with united exertion the people would easily perform their state task of returning twelve members to represent their interest , and aid and assist Thomas Slingsby Duncombo in procuring sucli a constitution and government as should reform all " abuses , " and . be of " use" to the whole community . Mr . M'Grath was repeatedly cheered during the delivery of his eloquent address .
. At the conclusion . Mr . Stallwood rose , and said the Lecturer had taken a startling position , to deny the old Radical axiom that " Government was a neccssary evil . " It would take a much stronger argument than any the lecturer had adduced to convince him that government was not an evil . _ Then as regarded the non-extension of the ! franchise to woman , he could not agree with that . ' He mixed much with the female portion of the community and he found great intelligence amongst them . History both aacred and profane , gave them many instances of valiant and daring conduct on the part ot womenactions which set rare examples to men . Even in our own time we had some most brilliant examples . Had there not been Mary Wolstoncrafts ? Was there not Margaret Reynolds ( Mrs . Ghapplesmith ) Mrs . Martin , and last , not least , MaryHowitt ? Would their lecturer venture to tell him , that highly
intelligent , virtuous women like these , should be denied the right of the franchise , whilst it was given . to the most stupid of men ? Again , would the lecturer tell him that the brothers and husbands of the aristocracy had taken care of the interests of their female relatives ? Was it not notorious that they had gambled and wantoned away their patrimony . Mr . T . M . Wheeler ably followed on the same side—and said as regarded the question whether " Government was a necessary evil , " himself and Mr . Samuel Ivydd had challenged Mr . M'Grath , or any other person , to a discussion in that or any other place , at any time they might please to name . For his part , he contended that government ruling as it did by majorities , must to all intents and purposes be an evil to the minority—who were compelled to submit to that majority . After a strong appeal in favour of the right of woman to the suffrage , Mr . Wheeler gave way to
Mr . W . D . Ruffy , who most eloquently and ably supported the right of woman to an equal share in the Elective franchise , and the affairs of government with man . Mr . Jons Dowlino agreed with the Lecturer , and thought if the suffrage waa extended to woman , —it would interfere with domestic happiness . Mr . M'GiuTH . replied—stating that he did not deny the right of women to the suffrage , but he doubted the policy , and much questioned the necessity . Give us the "People ' s Charter , " and thetwf found necesRary he would be quit © willing to go into the question of Woman Suffrage . As to the other proposition relative to a discussion , he was ready to undertake a discussion , or that question " Government an evil , " at any time .
Mr . W . Robso . v , in moving a vote of thanks to the Lecturer , said with Mr . M'Grath's eloquent lectures lie generally agreed , but as Mr . M'Grath agreed in principle on right of Woman Suffrage , he thought it was frivilous in him to care about its policy , however , he had much pleasure in moving the thanks of the meeting to him , and hoped to hear a discussion on the point in dispute , discussion being well calculated to bring out latent talent , Mr . W . D . Rufit seconded the motion which was carried by acclamation . Mr . M'Grath made a suitable reply , and the meeting dissolved . Several members were added to the rojlofthe National Charter Association , and an addition was likewise made to the shareholders of the Land Society ; whilst the signatures to the National Petition were much augmented .
BRIERLEY , YORKSHIRE . On Sunday evening a public meeting was held at the Faint Revived Inn , North Brlerley , to take into consideration the propriety ot forming a branch of the Chartist Co-operative J and Society and Chartist-Association . Mr . Fox was called to the chair , who , in a brie manner explained the object of the meeting , and called upon E . Hurley to move the first resolution / which waa as follows : — That , as the all-wise director of nature ' s laws destined man to be a free and independent being , this meeting views with indignation the inconsistent manner in which
the rulers of the earth destroy the fundamental principie that should conduct human society ; namely , the right of every citizen to participate in tbe making of the laws b y which he is to be governed . Mr . Hurley , in a clear and forcible manner , explained the principles of the People's Charter , and the benefits to society by its adoption . Mr . John Jennings seconded the resolution , and contrasted the state of society as at present constituted , and what it would be under the principles of the Charter . The motion was carried unanimously . Mr . Smyth moved the second resolution : —
That in the opinion of this meeting the only sure and tangible mode of relieving the working classes of this country from the fear of poverty and want , and aid them to the restoration of his undoubted right to be first partakers of the fruits of his own labour is by join ing and becoming members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; we , therefore , pledge ourselves , individually and collectively , to use our endeavours in carrying out the objects of the society in this neighbourhood . Joseph Aldetson seconded the resolution , and explained the objects and benefit ? to be derived from the occupation of the land in a political and social point of view , Mr . William Ross , senior , supported the motion , followed by Mr . John Dobson , to the great satisfaction of the meeting . The resolution was carried unanimously .
Several questions were put and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting . Officers were then appoint ed , and half a score entered , and paid a portion of money towards their shares . A vote of thanks was tendered to the chairman , and the meeting adjourned to Sunday ( to-morrow ) at six o ' clock in the evening . The greatest attention was paid to the speakers , Thus has Landisra and Chartism found its way to a remote , though populous district , of hardworking though ill-paid working men .

STATE OF THADE . Leeds . —The same dull state of trade continues in our Cloth Halls as has been the ease of late ; the foreign houses are scarcely in the market at all , a ' nd the home buyers purchase with the greatest caution « nd only for present need ; prices are however pretty steady , but the manufacturers complain heavily ottlie want of profit . Manchester , Friday evening . — The great excite , ment in the Liverpool market has only caused people to look to short time iu earnest , as we can scarcely get a faction advance on goods , and in yarn hut little . Al . though there is as yet ne organised plan for the adoption of short time , it is more or less spreading , and we think , before the middle of next month , many of tho large con . cerns will have commenced . Bradford , Thursday . —Thereis comparatively a limited demand for wool , but prices are firmly maintained , as the staplers conceive tliat they cannot replace their stock at less prices . The yarn trade is steady , and prices the same . The export houses are still large " buyers . Figured pieces are notv out of request , and plain Orleans ,. Paramattas , ifcc , innuired for ;
IIUDDJSitaHFLD , Tuesday . — There has been but little animation in the market to-day , and , with the exception of a few sales of kerseymeres and heavy fabrics , business has been at a comparative stand . Trade is also very duil in the warehouses . Rochdale Flannel Market , Monday . — Goods have not found a ready sale to-day , and the market has been heavy at former prices . Low priced wools have been most inquired after , but the sales have been limited . Halifax , Saturday Our ho pes of improvement in trade do not yatseum in a | way to be realised . The demand for both wool and manufactures is languid , and prices not well supported . In the wool market quotations run about £ ll Ss to £ 1110 s for middle wethers , and £ 10 5 s common noils broke . These latter hold up better than combing kinds . Leicester . — The country hosiery market continues good ; but the London demand remains dull for the season . Wools and yarns are stationary .
Nottingham . —Lace : —Business has been rather quiet this week , the London and more distant buyers not having come in their ordinary numbers to market . Prices remain as before . The fear of further advances in the list of yarns , of coarse numbers , does not yet operate to raise the value of the wrought lace goods . If the Manchester spinners obtain high rates here , either coarse lace articles will advance , if worked at all , or the machines must work to a certain loss , Hosiery : We have great satisfaction in being able to report that all the various brauches of this important trade continue in a healthy state , with fully as large an amount of business doing as is customary at this season of the jear .
Glasgow . —Cotton Yarns : The market has boon very quiet , and although spinners are asking an advance in price , it is very difficult to obtain it . Fine yarn , say from 80 ' s to loo ' s , has in many instances , realised the advance in price , but the market has been very full of numbers under that at former quotations . Cotton Goods : We cannot perceive any improvement in the market for general descriptions since last report . For some particular sorts there is rather more inquiry , but even for these the demand is very limited . Iron : Pig iron , £ 4 : barircn . £ 9 10 s nailrod 3 , £ 10 10 s ; boiler plates and sheets , £ 13 ; rails , £ 10 10 s to £ 11 per ton .
