and vote only according to the instructions be had received . There-were four distinct topics upon-which they bad met to deliberate : — -1 st The Desk mode cA reorganising { he Association ,-and the formation 0 ! B sew and efficient Executive 2 nd . The immediate sending out a lecturer into the South Lan cashire District . 3 rd . The necessity , or otherwise , » j f continuing the Local lecturer's Plan . 4 th . The pvoprJety of holding camp nestings in the country villages during the summer months . These were all points of consi derable importance to the movement ; knd ha ¦ would now sit down by stating , as far as br * "was concerned , each delegate should have a fair ar ^ d impartial hearing A very animxted discosaiou then took Dlace , ¦ which vras elicited by a resolution brought forward by
the Stockport delegate , and wbl ' jb . - was couched in the folio-wing terms— " That we , Uie delegates , do represent to the people tha neceaity of immediately electing & new Executive . ** The following amendment was then proposed by Mr . Nnttall , one of the delegates for Carpenter ' s Hall—*• That -we , tiie Sooth Lancashire delegates , havieg taken into our most se ^ rions consideration the preseat disorganised state of the Association , and the evil tffecta likely to result from our having no recognised Executive , do most respectfully suggest the propriety of a Conference being holden in Birmingham , * that towa being most eentral , ) on the 17 th of Jnly next , for the purpose of reconsidering the plan of organization , and making such alterations as will render it less ambiguous , and better calculated to promote
the interests of the Association ; and in order to give each locality an opportunity . of expressing their sentiments , we recommend the propriety of proceeding forthwith to the election of delegates to attend the said conference , and at tbe same time give those who may be elected such instructions as -will enable them faithfully to represent the opinions of their constituents , both as regards any alterations that may be necessary in the plan of organisation , or arrangements requisite to the formation of a new and tfficient Executive to watch over the interests of the Association generally . " The amendment , beiiw seconded , iras ; after a great deal of disenssion , agreed to , and the original resolution lost . The fellowiEg resolutions we ' re then agreed to almost unanimously—•• That we , the delegates ef
South Lancashire , recommend county \ oouncil meetings to fee called as early as possible , throughout the whole country , to nominate proper persons to be elected at public meetings , for the purpose of representing each county in a National Conference , to be held on tbe 17 th of July , in the town of Birmingham . " " That a lecturer be appointed to agitate the South Lancashire District , the said lecturer to commence his labours on the 3 rd of Jnly . " " that the snm of 30 s . per week t > e paid from the South Lancashire fund , as a remuneration for his strvicea . " "That Mr . James Lsach be the person appointed to sustain the office of lecturer for this division of the county . " " That Id . per month be levied upon each Kitmber throBghont the various localities in this district , for the purpose of supporting ] the lecturer . ' * " That the local lecturers * plan be discontinued for one month . " " That Messrs . Taylor , ' Gfcecott , and
Dixon , be appointed to draw up Mr . Leach ' s route . " "That camp meetings be held in tho most central positions of the different localities on each successive Sunday during the summer months , the General Council of each locality to make the necessary arrange ments . " "That a special meeting of tiie delegates be holden in the Brown-street Room , on Sunday tbe Snd of July , at one o ' clock in the afternoon ^ the delegates te come prepared with the opinions of their constituents as to the men they think best calculated to be pat in nomination for the forthcoming Conference . " After some other business had been transacted , ' and a vote * f thanks accorded to the chairman , the meeting adjourned te that day fortnight , having { been in close deliberation nearly five hours . We are glad to say that the utmost good feeling pervaded the whole proceedings ; and each delegate seemed determined to make Chartism what it onsht to be—a terror to tyrants , and a bulwark against oppression and injustice .
XiONDON . —A public meeting of the City of London locality was held on Sunday morning , at the City of London Institution , Mr . Wyatt in tiie chair . The balance sheet was produced , and Messrs . Bagley , O ? erton , and Wheeler appointed auditors . Messrs . Wyatt and Wheeler were appointed a depntBtioD to wait npon the Directors to procure the use of the Hall for a further period on Sunday mornings ; and also to ; wait upon the ff = malfes of tbe City Locality , to secure their co-operation in taking the Hall on a week-day evening . Cits op Losdos Toziticxl aKi > Scientific Ikstitotjo : * , TuBNAGAm-LAjiK . —On Sunday morning , Mr . Brown in the chair , Mr . Mantz delivered ' an
excellent lecture on tbe causes of the French Revolution , and was much applauded . In the « vening , BeDJamin Walo , Esq . Professor cf Languages , Ac . delivered a splendid Chartist lecture on the Past , Present ,: and Future . " In eloquent and energetic language he depicted the present evils of society , and pointed in glowing language to a happier future to be produced by the united exertions of Democratic Reformers , -whom he called upon in earnest terms to press forward in the good causa . Mr , Wale was enthusiastically and deservedly applauded The Chair was occupied in an " able manner by Mr . Mee . After tbe lecture , Messrs . ilantz and Brown also ad-Qressed the meeting .
¦ On Sbkdat EVKSiJto , a public meetimg was bolden in the large room of tbe Star , Golden-lane , upon the snbjr-ct of a Repeal ef the Union -wr-h ¦ Ireiaad ; Mr . D-ar&ine , a sturdy Rspesier-was called to the chair , and ably addressed the meeting . Mr . il 'Frederick in a neat and appropriate speech moved the 1 st resolution , " That this meeting hold it to be right of the IriEh people to be governed by their own Parliament ; but yet we remain convinced that the mere establishment cf a Parliament in Ireland or any other country , -will not give national freedom or just Government unless the election of that Parliament rests with the whole people . " Mr . Mills ably seeended the resolution which was carried without a single dissentient * Mr . Bolweii in a long and energetic address moved the next
resolution , as follows : "That this meeting views with strong feelings of indignation , the tyrannical and unconstitutional disarming of the people of Ireland by the Arms Bill ; considering it a base attempt te lay the people bound at the feet of a blood-seeking aristocracy , and to leave the means ef defending life hti / j property in the hands of a blcod stained faction only this meeting therefore p edges itself to make common cause with the people of Ireland ; and will-deem every man a disgrace to his country that aids the tyrants to carry out their uBjust Coercion Acts . " Mr . D . M Carthyjably seconded the resolution which was unanimously agreed to . Mr . Mantz moved the following resolution , "That this meeting views with mingled feelings of sorrow as 3 reeret iheconduct of certain of the'Irish agitators
lnrefusing the aid of tbe Chartist public ; considering that it is calculated to rouse the prejudices of the working people of tbe two countries ; but notwithstanding this refusal , we are determined to use all means in our power , both legal and moral , to assist the people of Ireland in carrying a Repeal of the "Union . '' " Mr . Brown , in an eloqnent ana impressive manner , which toid well , seconded the resolntioK . | Mr . Dwaine , the chairman , made some excellent remarks , and averred , that although , as Repealers , they were bound to abide by the orders from Dublin , and ; not to receive Chartists into their ranks , yet they had received no orders not to attend and co-eperate at meetings got up by tbe Chnrtuts . He regretted exceedingly the mandate issued from Dnbiin , tut tmsted that ; it would soon « ie away . The conduct of the Chards'a on that and
etbeT occasions would have a great tendency to produce that effect . While the C&artjsts continued to pursue tbe course tfasy hai hitherto done , they thonld have his cordial co-operation . If errors had been committed , it -was their duty , aB mwn and as Christians , when these errors Were letrased , to overlook and forget the past He would ask , -wbtie was the political body which had not committed errors ? Mr . D . then allnded to other questions connected with tbe Repeal agitation , and sat down loudly cheered . The resolution was agreed to unanimoasly . air . Ratbbone . in a neat speech , moved a vote tf thinks to the chairman , which was seconded by Mr . Man ^ z and carried by acclamation . The meeting was an excessi-rely exowaed one ; the stsirs , and every avenue to the rooms being filled , and during the whole evening the greattst unanimity prevailed .

It is a curious fact that part of the bird ' s food is regularly brought to it by liunet . Lktiers iaou New Zealand , give the most gloomy accounts of the state and prospects of the settlers , of the enormous price of all necessities * and the total want of money . Many of the settlers have gone and more are about to proceed to Sydney and Hobart Town . The original sin and evil of the company seems to be the manner in whicn the natives have been dispossessed of their territory and property .
Supposed Mubdeb Twenty-four Yeabs Ago . — The inhabitants of the village of Groatham , near Stockton , were recently alarmed by the discovery of a female ' s skeleton nnder the paved floor of the workshop ofiMr . Hopper , a joiner . From the position in whioh the skeleton was found , it appeared that the body must hare been completely doubled together , and not been more than 18 inches under the surface . ) Information having beon given to the authorities , Supermtendent Belland Sergeant Fergus were immediately sent to make inquiries , and they learned that an old woman , named Rebecca Oliver , who travelled round the country with a basket , was missed about ? 4 years ago from her home at Greatham , where she then resided . In consequence , however , of heir occasionally leaving her residence for a considerable i time together , no inquiries were ever made after her , until this discovery was made . It
also appeared in evidence from several witnesses examined , that this old ¦ woman was on intimate terms with -a person named Appleby , who slept nnder the same roof with her , and frequently accompanied her in her country excursions . A Bevere quarrel having at length taken place between them , they soon after parted . Afraid then to live by herself , lest he should return and treat her 111 , hiB place was supplied by a person of similar character , named Brown , who lived with her in the same house , not more than thirty yarda from where the body was found . Hence suspicion naturally arose that the skeleton found was that of the unfortunate woman . An inquest has been held ; the jury gave it as their opinion that the evidence adduced was insufficient to prove the identity of the body , or by whom the supposed murder had been commuted , and a verdict was returned to that effect .
Rebecca akd her Dacghtebs . —The lawless depredators , known by the name of Rebecca and her daughters , appear not only gradually to increase in power and influence in Carmarthenshire , but it is pretty sure , that if they continue to progress in the same ratio as they have done during the last few weeks , civil " power , as far as local authority goes , will be completely subjugated , if , indeed , it be not already . Their proceedings on Monday last affords a striking instance of daring , and even success in setting the civil authority at defiance . On the day following the destruction of the Water-street-gate at Carmarthen , three men , named Thomas , Harries , and Boweu ^ passed through the gate , or rather through the apertuie where the gate had previously
been , refusing to pay toll . The toll-collector summoned themlbefore the magistrates , to whom they said that Rebecca had given them notice not to pay . They were fined in the penalty of 40 s each , and costs , which not having been paid , a distress warrant against their goods was issued . Some bailiffs and constables were Bent to execute the distress warrant , but the offices were summarily ordered by Rebecca's disciples to Teturn , which they readily did . The magistrates , determined to enforce the law , " swore in" about thirty pensioners as special constables , who , together with a number of policemen , bailiffs , &c , proceeded on Monday last to execute the warrant . They succeeded in making the distraint with little or no molestation : but ere they had proceeded
a quarter of a mile with their booty , the loud sound of a trumpet assembled an immense , concourse , amounting to several hundreds of Rebecca ' s daughters , some ofiwhom had their faces blackened . They immediately 5 compelled tbe constables to deliver up the goods , together with all the fire-arms and other weapons of defence in their possession . They then proceeded to demolish a wall , belonging to Mr . Davies , of Triwsmwr , a magistrate , for the county , who had offended them , and they gave the constables and police their chojee , either to assist them in demolishing the wall , or run the risk of being stripped and sent to town naked . The offioars made choice of the former alternative . We understand that about forty additional special constables have been since sworn in . —Cambrian .
