HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 9 . Is reply to a question , from Mr . O'Connell , Lord PAUtKRsroic said that he could not lay before tie House the treaty between this country and Texas until after its ratification . Lord Siisiet again drew the attention of the Noble Lord to the detention of Mr . M'Leod , in New Tori , wishing to know what steps had been taken to procure his liberation . . Lord Paljcerstox said tkat upon that very day the instructions of the Government had been sent to Mr . Pox , but neither the Noble Lord not the House would expect him to sUte what those Instructions were . Lord Staslet desired to learn whether any previous instructions had been sent out on the subject
Lord Palheesios replied that the despatches from Mr . Fox had only been received on Saturday , and that day ( Tuesday i was the first upon which the fLcal instructions could be sent out . A former " case , howeTer , upon which Mr . Fox had been fully instructed , was precisely irinrilar in principle to the present . Mr . HrsB quoted an order of the day of the Lieu-Venant-GoTernor of Upper Canada , passing a high euloginni on the conduct of the parties engaged in the destruction of the Carolina . Hs wished to know whether this document had ever been transmitted to ler Majesty ' s fcovemment , and whether it had been ap p roved of by them ! Lord J . BrssKLL replied that the document had been communicated , and the views of the Government npon the subject had been ^ represented to the Government of America ,
Jir . T . DcxcoKBB asked , whether the British Go-Ternment had approved or disapproved of tha destruction of the Caroline ? - - Lord Palmebstos replied that her Majesty ' s Go-Temment thought , under the peculiar circumstances of the case , that the capture of the Caroline was justifiable . This announcement was received with loud cheering from all parts of the House . In answer to another question from Mr . Hcme , Lord Palmersxos stated that the opinion of her Majesty ' s Government had been communicated to the American Minister in London , and to the . American ¦ Government by Mr . Fox . The cheering was again renewed on hearing this declaration from the Noble lord . Lord iloaPKTH obtained leave to bring in a . Bill to ¦ mend-the laws relating to drainage in Ireland , and the improvement of navigation and water ] power in connection with the system of drainage .
Mr . F . Kkixt moved for leave to bring in a bill for the abolition of the punishment of death in certain cases . The bill was nearly the same as the one he had unsuccessfully introduced to the House last sessien of Parliament , but he had arranged it so that each instance in which the punishment of death was proposed to be abolished was made the subject of a separate clause . He confined the operation of the present Bill to England and Wales , but he pledged himself , if successful in carrying this BUI through Parliament , that he would bring in similar bills for Ireland
and Scotland . He was glad to find that Ministers intended at length to bring in s Bill for the purpose of abolishing the punishment of death in some cases ; and if any disclosure had bean made to him as to the extent -to which that Bill would go , he would have waited its Introduction . As , however , he could not hope that it would g * to the extent he thought necessary , he then moved for leave to bring in his Bill , which , however , lie would not carry into committee until he should have sn opportunity of seeing the Ministerial measure . Mr . Ewart seconded the motion .
Lord J . KVS 5 ELX said there were certainly cases of -erime now punishable with death , which ought not to be bo ; and be could not , therefore , refuse his assent to the introduction of the Bill of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman . He could not , however , aeree in the avowed object of th *» Hon . and Leaned Gentlemanth&t of abolishing the punishment of death altogether . Crimes , apparently of the same nature , were often Tery different in enormity ; for instance , an attempt to Set fire to ships in her Majesty's dockyards w&s an offence which partook of the character of high treason ; whereas , setting fire to some ropes , or other such offences against mere property , would be Crimea very different in magnitnde iraru the former . He * was of -opinion that it would be highly desirable to have a revisi . ua cf the whole criTninal law , so as to render the punishments actually enforced more reconcileble with the punishments directed by the statutes . Leave was then given to bring in the BilL
Captain Pechell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe Recovery Act ( 5 th and 6 tb Wm . IT . ) , and to take away tha jurisdiction from the eoclesi& . -tiei ] courts in all matters relating to tithes of a certain amount . Mr . F . Macle moved to bring in a Bill on the subject -of county courts . He noticed the evil of separate Acts for the recovery of small debts in separate districts , touting to different practices in different places . His £ ist proposal would be to extend the jurisdiction of the county courts to a larger sum than at present ; he ¦ would suggest £ 20 . He would make them ambulatory within their own districts . He would have a Judge for each , to be appointed by the Government at a fixed salary . He would abolish all written pleadings , and make a summons the only process . On any amount under £ 5 the Judge might decide without a Jury ; on
any larger amount a Jury might be demandable by either party . The parties themselves should bo examinable , and no witness should be incompetent on the score of interest He would give to the court a jurisdiction also in the recovery of small tenements .- The patronage of the Government , uuder such a system , would doubtless be considerable ; but , in fact , it existed already , for the Chancellor , at present , appointed the Judge under every one of the local Acts . It was not in contemplation to take away the jurisdiction of Hundred Courts or Courts of Requests ; though hs certainly did be ' tieve thst the county courts would soon withdraw their business from them . The Judge was not to practise at the bar ; and his salary was to be at first £ 500 , and to increase , as business should increase , until it reached a maximum of £ 1 , 500 . An analogous measure had been introd-nced into Scotland with the best effect
Mr . E"TC " ast observed , that Ireland also had a similar benefit , in her institution of assistant barristers They , however , were permitted to practise at the-bar ; and this had its advantage , in keeping the judges fumnixr -yrlUi the law . He wished to carry the principle of the measure yet farther than the Government had proposed , by substituting throughout the kingdom stipendiary magistrates for the present justices of the peace . Mr . Wood ( of Middlesex ) deprecated this last suggestion , and while he approved the present measure , yet be cautioned the House against allowing tfeis new class of magistrates to absorb the criminal as well as the civil administration of justice . Mr . Hens agreed in the views of Mr . Ewart He did not thini the money would be badly laid out in these salaries , but he wished the limit of the jurisdiction extended to £ 100 .
Mr . Hawes concurred in this wish . It was so important to vest judicial appointment in the Crown , that he trusted the patronage would not be an objection . It might safely be exercised by the Lord Chancellor or the Lord Chief Justice . Mr . O'Co >> ELI , considered the chief defect of the bill to be , tha : it did not combine the criminal with the civil jurisdiction . It constituted a paralytic judge , alive on the civil aide , but dead on the criminal . The courts of the present magistrates were certainly not the courts of the poor man . He should be very sorry to see any of the patronage given to judges , except the Chanc&llor , who was a responsible Minister of the Crown . It would destroy the political independence of the junior bar to pnt their promotion in the hands f the Lord Chief Justice .
Mr . Gallt Kkighi objected to the notion of substituting stipendiary magistrates for the present unpaid magistracy , and would feel great jealousy of any measure hiving that tendency . Mr . Yilliess thought there was nothing in the preaent proposal to excite either jealousy or alarm . Mr . C&esswell apprehended great dissatisfaction to suitors if they were forced into a court from which there weald be ao appeal ; and great expence * to them , if appeals were allowed , into which they could be inveigled by low practitioners . He vindicated the fear from the imputation that they would be corrupted by patronage , in the hands of the Judges . Tke Judges bad now for some years had the appointment of the revising barristers , but no decline of independence had followed . Mr . Fox Mauls deemed it best to abstain for the
present from giving compulsory jurisdiction for a higher amount than £ 20 . The County Courts had already , and would still possess , power to decide npon larger amounts , Where both the parties consented . Leave having bees given for this Bill , Mz . Fox Macls moved the introduction of another connected with it , and enabling the Chancellor to direct the reference to County Courts of that business in banfanptcr which , in the country , is now devolved npon local CommissioneTs . The same sort of reference might be made in country cases of insolvency . And the County Cocrt might also with advantage take the business of lunacy in the country . The number of Judges to be proposed in the former Bill , which would probably be about twenty-five , might be expected to suffice for the who ' . e business committed to them by both Bills ; tat , lest they should be unable to transact it all , he had nserted in this second Bills power to the Chancellor of soeasing their number .

Mr . Hawks was son the measure would give great satisfaction to the mercantile Interests ; sod Jam was given to introduce tha BilL On the motion of Mi . Emkrsoh Tkhnkxi , the House want into eommitie * on the Jaw » affecting the cop / right of designs ; sod be then proposed sn extension of the term of three months , the present limit of protection , to s term of twelve months . Mr . M . Philips was unfavourable to the change . Mr . Laboucbske doubted the expediency of extending the term beyond half s year . Mr . Colqurouh supported the motion . Mr . Mobbjsom thought six months sufficient Mr . Williams objected to all change . Mr . Sergeant Talfourd con tinned to desire protectection for works of invention . Mr . CtCoxkzll was &n advocate for the twelve months , term .
Mi . Hexe said , this was going a great deal too far ; indeed , he and Mr . Buotherto * , who fallowed him , saw no necessity for any . protection at all . Mr . Wabbcrton thought it hazardous to take so long a term as twelve months . Mr . E . Tehhent replied ; and the Chairman was instructed to move the House for leave to bring in a Bill in accordance with Mr . E . Tennent ' s proposal ; -which was done , and leave granted . Mr . O'Conkell moved for various return * relating to licensed victuallers ; after which , Mr . Divett asked leave to bring in % BUI for allowing Jews to make the declaration contained in the Acts 1 and S Victoria , chap . 6 and 15 , on admission to corporate offloes . He thought it bnt just to put the Jews on the same footing with the Quakers and the Moravians .
Sir Robert Ikgws resisted this motion . He believed there was only one individual whom such a Bill would benefit—namely , Mr . David Salomons , who had petitioned the House upon , the subject . His own objection was , that this concession would be used as an argument for ulterior measures . The Jews were not to be considered as a peculiar sect but as a separate nation ; and they had , therefore , no claim to municipal or political franchises in England . Mr . Wasbcrios said , that Sir Robert Inglis , if he treated them as aliens , ought to bring in a Bill for excluding them from property in land . No evil was stated which their admission would involve . Gentlemen had complained hut year of Mehemet AH for his alleged persecution of the Jews , but really their own chil persecution of that people was just as bad .
Mr . Gladstone said Mr . Warburton had illustrated Sir R . Inglis's objection , in arguing that because Jews are permitted to enjoy the privilege of holding land , therefore Jews must be admitted to ulterior privileges . He would not , however , resist , tke introduction of the BUI . Mr . HaWEs asserted the right of every subject of the Crown to partake all political privileges , without respect to his religious opinions . He hoped the Bill would lead lifc& full discussion of the whole subject in some of the rarther stages . Mr . A . White said that a respectable constituent of his own at Sunderlaud had been excluded by the existing law from a corporate office to which he had been elected . If we wished to convert the Jews , we ought to act on the Christian principle of doing to them as we would that they should do to us .
Mr . Divett said a few words in reply , and leave was given to introduce the BilL The House then adjourned till Thursday .

ACCIDENT AT CASTLE DOUGLAS . BREAKING DOWN OF A CHARTIST MEETING ROOM . IO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTBERN STAR . Bear Sir , —It is a painful task , at any time , to announce accidents , and to appeal to the public in behalf of the sufferers . On the present occasion , 1 regret to state , that a very severe accident occurred at Castle Douglas , on Friday , the 5 th of February , through which a number of working men have suffered severe injuries , and some of them , I fear , may be disabled for life . I shall state the simple facts of the cose , and leave the subject with my brother Chartists , who have , on all occasions , so nobly aided the imprisoned , supported the unfortunate , and upheld their character for generosity and justice .
On my arrival at Castle Douglas , according to previous appointment , I learned that Mr . Maitland , of Gebsion Castle , and other scrubs in the neighbourhood , had rattled in their carriages , and calling some of the magistrates together , as well as visiting the tradesmen who had the letting of the Mason's Lodge , prohibited my proposed meeting in any of the public rooms in the torn . I resided , in my boyhood , many years In Castle Douglas . I have not been there since I was publicly engaged in the political movement ; therefore there was an unusual anxiety to hear my proposed lecture .
A workroom belonging to Mr . inglis , coach builder , was , at length , procured , and long before the hour of meeting the working men nocked in from all the surrounding villages . The room was packed full , but the joists were never intended to carry such an unusual burden , and the conseqaence was that the greater part of the flooring gave way , and some 500 people were cast down with dreadful force on the top of eaeh other and into the apartment beneath , where a scene of confusion ensued which totally baffles all description . I was detained in conversation by one of the magistrate * , who , together with a great number of the
middle-class , were tending their steps to the meeting room , and but for that fortunate circumstance , every one is of opinion that a -difference of two minutes or less , would have settled all matters of dispute between the Government and the ' little Doctor . " As it was , many of the shopkeepers , and one or two medical men went down in the melee—however , with their usual good fortune , they escaped scot free . The whole mischief fell upon a number of unlucky working men , and God knows , their weakened frames , stinted in nourishment , contributed much to their belplessnesas , and adds to their misfortunes .
I regret to say that some very severe injuries were sustained , from a compound fracture in the leg to a simple bruise on the head—fortunately , no lives were lost . A number of working men are , consequently so seriously injured as to be utterly unable to pursue their usual trades , and , I imagine , it is only necessary to mention t ^ ia to secure a public subscription from the people—from all , at least , whose means will enable them to soothe the sufferings of the poor and put a balm npon the wounds of the injured . Mr . Aitken , bookseller , and Mr . Blair , butcher , Castle Douglas , will bs happy to receive and distribute contributions .
I remain , dear Sir , Yours sincerely , On behalf of the Castle Douglas sufferers , P . M'DOVALL .

THE PROTECTED CAPITALIST AND HIS CAPITAL . AGAINST THE UNPROTECTED LABOURER AND HIS LABOUR . Droylsden is at this time one scene of poverty , misery , distress , starvation , and want , in consequence of the late turn-out of the power-loom weavers . A few years ago , several gentlemen ( save the mark . ' ) from the town of Stockport , built a large factory in this village ; their original intention was to have made it into a hat manufactory , but finding it impossible to bring the men into so close a compass as that , they thought they might just do as they thought proper with them ; they took a second consideration , and converted it into a cotton-hell , to fill which , with a sufficient number of hands , they the masters ) made great promises , and
held out great hopes to the work-people , which had the desired effect in procuring them . People came thither from almost every town and village in Lancashire and Cheshire . But , mark the sequel . ' No sooner had they got them there , than the misters 'began to practice all sorts of tyranny , making good the old adage , " we hare you fast now , and we can do what we like with you . " About three weeks since , the masters gave notice of an abatement , to the tune of five shillings , from every four loom weaver . The , hands whispered among themselves , and resolved to resist it by turning out , which the masters got wind of , bnt took so notice until a few hours before the expiration of the notice , when the hands were surprised fey the sudden stoppage of the engine ; and , upon inquiry , they were
told something was amiss with it This is a trick which has been repeatedly resorted to , under similar circumstances ; the main and sole object of which was to prevent the weavers from getting in their cuts , and in the event of their not returning to their work at the reduced price , to cheat the hands out of some two , some three , and some four each , which according to Cotton Law would be forfeited . The masters , in order to carry out their robbery and villany , sent for a band of blue bottle police , to guard , to be sure , the master ' s property , and intimidate the turn-outs ; overlookers , lickspittles , and understrappers , were sent to scenr the surrounding towns for the surplus people , who were out of employment , to bring in as knobsticks . Not satisfied even with that , they used their influence
on every occasion , where they bad any , in preventing the turnouts from procuring work at other mills . In one instance , two young women went to Ashton , and got & shop , but no sooner did the masters hear of this than they sent one of their tools in the shape of a man , but who ia certainly a disgrace to human nature , to . Ashton , who saw the females , and promised them if they would but return , the condition would be , that they would have their looms again , and should , in addition to that , have the best work . The unsuspecting lasses took them st their word , and left their situations , and returned to Droylsden with the full expectation of having their looms again according to promise , but alas . ' it was all delusion 1 On approaching their old
masters , they were told to go about their business ; after persuading them to leave the place they wen then at , and not only so , bat they have forfeited what work they had done at the Ashton shop , and rendered themselves less liable to procure work any where else ; being , no doubt , set down in the black bsck , with a fall description of their persons , names , and ages . This is a species of superlative rascality , treachery , and black-hearted deception . By the exertion of the tools , nearly the number of hands have been procured to supply the places of those who turned out , and the consequence is , that the rest are now walking the lanes , not knowing what to do . The masters have declared nevei to hare them again , and what aggravates the thinf

more is , ths wholeflumflles worked st this mill , sod , of coarse , they hsvesU met Up same fate . Toe tpinnen and dressers were compelled by the masters to send their wives sad children Into the factory 5 all who were able , till others could be fetched , or otherwise they most likewise be discharged . Those overlookers aad lickspittles , who ooold aad did practise most spite and malignity towards the turn-outs , were best received by the masters ; while , on the contrary , ' those woo had hearts and could feel for their fellow-creatures , and could not act the rogue , fool , and knave , were sent about their business—humanity and sympathy being commodities unknown to these factory tyrannical cotton lerds . The work , before the abatement , was very bad , and the poor people were only able
to get as much as kept them living from band to month , at this very inclement season of the year , and what they will do now , Gad only knows . The heads of the families will have to wander up aad down the country , in search of wots : ; leaving their poor wives and children at the mercy of providence and chance , and perhaps for months before they will succeed , to say nothing of the expence of removing their goods . Will it be believed , that these masters are celebrated as promoters of religion , temperance , and morality ; subscribe to the various charitable institutions ; and that their names are blazed about in the different reports , at though they were the most
immaculate saints in Christendom ? These greedy , grasping , grinding , robbing , plundering villains , are as mealymouthed , and make as much profession as tha / tgh they were the most pure , virtuous , and harmless creatures in the world ; but , by their conduct , they prove , themselves the most odious wretches , and are guilty pf cant , hypocrisy , brutality , hard-heartedness , cruelty , and blasphemy . They laugh , jeer , sneer , and exult at the triumph they have achieved over their helpless dependants—& disgrace to religion , to humanity , to society , and to every thing virtuous , honourable , and praiseworthy . The hatters an i colliers are yet out , aud are no nearer coming to a settlement .

The members are increasing ; and , through the exertions of the Committee , the town is being organised into olas 383 . The conduct of Mr .. Nightingale , in goiDg to Walsall to aid the Tory against the Whig , met with the reprobation pf the meeting ; as no good Chartist can conscientiously assist either Whig or Tory . An amusement class meets every Saturday evening , to keep our members from the public house . Mr . Leach will lecture on Sunday evening .

The Fox And Goose Club.
THE FOX AND GOOSE CLUB .
On Monday evening , was held the first anniversary meeting of the members of the Leeds Fox and Goose Club , on which occasion the " birds and beasts" assembled in the Saloou of the Music Hall , in Albion-street , their numbers probably amounting to three hundred . At eight o ' clock Mr . Fox Stansfeld , followed by his tail , made his appearance in the erchestra , and without ceremony seated himself on the chair—Fox Cummins acting the part of fugle-man , and the geese clapping their wings in token of satisfaction . The Chairman , as in duty bound , apologised for the absence of the chief Fox ( Marshall ) by saying he had gone to get mated , and , therefore , could not come . The then assembly , he said , ought to have been earlier convened , but it , like everything else ,
had given way to their recent '' triumphant" demonstration , on which he was sure every individual goose would look back with pride and pleasure , and not believe what the envious disposition of their enemies' had suggested , that this their pet scheme was a failure , and themselves were taken captive by the naughty Chartists . ( Symptoms of uneasiness , accompanied by great elongation of the colline portion of the frame , were visible amongst the geese at this announcement . ) Those insinuations , he Said , were thrown out by the Tories and physical-force Chartists , who , although there was a wide difference between them , had united to frustrate their favourite demonstration , which , in spite of all , had passed peaceably off , demonstrating to the world that the Leeds geese were not of that vulgar kind , lacking brains , but were like those of old , which , by their cackling , saved from destruction the Roman capitol .
Mr . Fox Smiles , ( who weakly does the amiable for " Mother Goose ") was then requested to make his bow , and favour the flock with a report of all the benefits which had resulted to them from their league with the foxes . This union of theirs , ho said , was viewed with complacency by liberal-minded foxes in every part of the empire , and particularly by the great dog-fox from Ireland , whose recent presence amongst tnem , ( although he only came to eat and drink , ) had produced a deep and lasting impression throughout the whole tribe , proving that a cordial and happy union had at , length been cemented between those who had been hitherto looked upon as enemies , and offering the best guarantee that the foxes would no longer pick the bones of the geese , provided always that the latter suffered the former to rule the " roost" after their own fashion ; only such geese as had golden eggs and well-feathered nests ,
being allowed to have a voice m the management of their own affairs . This , the document he had drawn up considered as the very climax of perfection ; and when it was granted that their votes should be given in secret , without a chauce of one goose knowing what the other had done , it was clear that their condition must be so materially benefitted as to leave them nothing to desire . Besides this , however , he could assure them the foxes would , as soon as the geeso furnished the means , provide them with a public building , in which they might assemble if they behaved themselves , and did not seek to set themselves up above their ** natural protectors " and leaders ; this building , in order that it might contribute to their intelligence , thoy intended to supply with books and newspapers , but only such as met their own views . The geese received the announcement with great complacency , and fluttered their feathers with dolight .
Mr . Fox Goodman moved that the document which Fox Smiles had submitted to them be approved and adopted . 1 He looked upon the union as the nucleus of an organization which must keep the Tories from political power , itself an important consideration , as every thing they had to hope for was in the preservation of the present government , under whose protection both foxes and geese would be better and safer than they would be under the Tories . Mr . Goose Martin , in an address of an hour ' s duration , seconded the motion . He said they had formed the most powerful Association ever established in this country—an Association whose end and aim were the welfare and happiness of the whole
community of geese . He congratulated them on the peculiarly appropriate title which tkey had obtained , and which had been bestowed upon them by the Northern Star . [ Whan the speaker styled the title appropriate , he cast a furtive glance at the foxes by whom he was surrounded , who showed their teeth slightly , but the geese were inextacies . and cackled loud and long . ] He contended that the present House of Commons did not represent the wishes of the geese , but was a tool in the hands of the aristocratic foxes . The suffrage must be extended , but what that extension should be , could only be ascertained by knowing how far it would be conducive to the public good . He held up to admiration the example of Republican America , and drew a
forcible contrast between the institutions of that country and those of our own , adding that though under present circumstances , he did not consider it politio to advocate republican doctrines , their tribes not having become sufficiently enlightened to receive them ; yet he was convinced that to this it must come at last , and the sooner the better . [ The geese hereupon flew up in oxtaeies , while the foxe 3 exchanged suspicious looks . ] Order being restored , and the speaker having retired to his seat , Mr . Fox Goodman again rose , and said he could not permit it to go forth that the Leeds Royal Loyal Fox and Goose Club advocated such principles as those promulgated by the last Bpeaker—it should not emanate from that assembly , that they were the advocates of Republicanism ; because , were Buch doctrines to prevail , the foxes would lose their
power , and it was one of the decrees of Providence that as both foxes and geese had always been in the land , so they should always continue . The geese did not like this ; aad Martin again stood forwaref . It was evident that he had " put the oat among the pigeons , " and by way of satisfying the foxes , and calming their fears for the safety and preservation of their order , he aaid he had qualified his observations , and he again repeated that in the present state of the publio mind he did not think it advisable to advocate , but merely to enunciate hia opinions . This having in some measure restored the unanimity of feeling , Mr . Fox Cummins rose to rapport the motion , which he did in a speech which no goose Could understand , for this plain reason , that he could not understand it himself , bat took care to make it The resolution was then put and carried .
Mr . Fox Plint , the master mind of the meeting , moved the next resolution , which was as follows : — That this Association holds itself fully warranted in the steps it has hitherto taken , and the measures it has hitherto adopted , with the view of carrying out

tha principles of public liberty , and resolves to eonthroe strenuously to exert itself in bringing about a union between the middle and working classes , and In working out suea an enlargement of the representation as shall secure good Government for all classes of the community . His doctrine was for free trade which , when : carried oat to its fall extent , he contended , was the only principle that could Secure the comfort and happiness of the workiDg gwese . ^ . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Goose Sfssd , and carried unanimously . The next resolution , as follows ,
That this meeting especially recommends to the ia-coming tjommlttee to adopt such measures as may to them appear the most advisable to increase and extend knowledge on the subject of political science : and , in so far as practicable , to carry oat the scheme originally projected , of reading rooms , libraries , and regular courses of public lectures , was moved by Mr . Fox Smiles , seconded by Mr . Fox Nichols , and carried . . Mr . Fox Gbekn moved , and Mr . Goqbq Robinson seconded , That the Association considers the great demonstration lately held in Leeds , to have effectually answered , the purposes which It was intended to accomplish , having tended to promote union between the middle and working classes , and to give an impulse to public opinion OB the great question of organic changes and reforms . —Carried ..
Mr . Fox Bower was received with loud cacklmg from the geese . He had not much to say ; but as he had known Baines for many years , he could not help telling their Chairman that he was a much cleverer Fox than Baines , as the excellent articles which he had recently published in Has Leeds Tines , clearly proved ; in fact , it was evident Baines could not half write like him . Hemored That the cordial thanks of the Association be given to those Members ef Parliament , and others , who have hitherto so zealously aided us in oar efforts to extend the representation to the working classes ; and to the strangers from various parts of England , Scotland , and Ireland , who lately met with us in friendly discussion , on the means of accomplishing the important end we have in view .
The resolution was seconded by Mr . GaoseBpxtEBWORTH , who declared that he had been highly gratified by the conduct of the Chartists at the Demonstration . ( "Hush , hush , " from the Foxes , with "Quack , quack , " from the Geese . ) The resolution was carried . The following names were then submitted to constitute the committee for the eusuing year : —
FOXES . GEESK . James G . Marshall Edward Suuderland Hamer Stansfeld Andrew Keenan George Goodman Joseph Nicholls H . C . Marshall William Nicholls , Jan . Joshua Bower John Carlton Henry Sanderson Robert Martin James Coldbeck John Jackson Jonathan Shackleton Robert Rattray Joseph GUffe Thomas Chreveson William Clark Wm , Cliffi * Thomas Plint Samuel Stubbs Peter Falrbairn Robert Turton

Riley Christopher Heaps Benjamin Hall Kobert Craven Abraham Whiteley John Airey Thomas Dixon Robert Wright Wm . Whiteley William Whitehead John Dixon David Laird Thomas Asquith — Horseman Benjamin Addeman . Joseph Bray .
This being the only business , and it being nearly eleven o ' clock , the geese became exceedingly anxious to go to roost ; the Chairman therefore gave them leave to retire , which they did , cackling as they went on the good things they had heard ; but showing a determination to have a little of their own way , in spite of the claws and teeth of the foxes .

LOUGHBOROTJGH . —Doings at the Bastile . —Much excitement has been in this town during the last week , in conseqaence of the rumoured severity practised by the new master and mistress , on the inmates , who have , in some case 3 , rebelled ; and hence the police have have been called in . In consequence , a public meeting was held on Monday night , the 8 th inst ., when the following letter , sent , out of the house to a friend , was read : — * We now make bold to trouble you with these few lines , to make known a few of the hardships under which we , the poor in this union , labour . In the case of mothers and children , they have separated them altogether , from one year old and upwards , and neither are allowed to see one another ; and those
who do suck , are only allowed to suck twice during the day ; and they also refuse the able-bodied men the privilege of seeing their wives at all ; and , in the case of the children , they are stopt their allowance of food if they happsn to wet or dirty the bed . Now , they have issued fresh orders , denying the friends of any one bringing any trifle into them , such as a little tea , sugar , or tobacco ; and likewise from coming to see them , except for two hours during the week ; and one night , during this week they have paraded the able-bodied men ' s sleeping room with the police , and relieving officer , and assistants ; and likewise fetched the police to take a man to the black-hole , for smoking a pipe of tobacco during the dinner-hour ; and another was threatened with the
worBt , for persisting to see his wife , when it was expected she was almost at the point of death ; and another was put in the hole for taking one small potato , when getting some in for the uso of the house ; and another , on being told that his child was sick of the measles , asked permission to see it on Sunday , and was refused ; and another who had an old pair of trousers given him on his admission into the house , that were cracked on the knee , on sitting down burst them through , for which he was kept on bread and water all the day ; and all the able-bodied men have been obliged to stand out in the snow , during the past hard weather , breaking stones . So ,
hoping that you will make it as publio as possible . If you think it worth insertion , it being only a sketch of someof eur hardships , as we have not the opportunity of writing what we could state ; but all are facts which the bearer can vouch for ; so no more from the sufferers in the Loughborough union , and friends of the cause of liberty « " A deputation was appointed to wait on the acting overseer , requestiug him to call a public meeting , that an investigation may take place as to the truth of the reports . The deputation watted on him on Tuesday the 9 th ; and , in his hands , the subject remains at present .

This stato of affairs has suffered a complete reverse since Mouday morning ; as the market has now become what the jobbers denominate "tight ;* ' that is , a gradual but complete advance of the rate of interest has taken place , without any apparent forced action oa the part of the Bank , or other moving power , to account , for the alteration .
