HOUSE OF CO itJiONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 9 . In reply to a question from Mr . O'Co . NJfELl ,, Lord Palmebstow said that he could not lay before the House the treaty between this country and Texas cntil after its ratification . Lord Stanley again drew the attention of the Noble Lord to the detention of Mr . M'Leod , in New York , wishing to know what steps had been takes to procure his liberation . Lord Paxmebsto ?* . said tiat upon that rery day the instructions of the Government had been sent to Mr . Fox . but neither the Noble Lord nor the House would expect lam to sUte what those instructions were . Lord SixXLEi desired to le&rn -whether any pre-Tious instructions had been sent out on the subject .
Lord PaLHEHSIOS replied that the despatches from Mi . Fox had only been received on Saturday , and that day iTueaday > was the first upon which the final instructions could be sent out A former case , however , npon which Mr . Fox had been fully instructed , was precisely Kimi'lui- in principle to the present . Mr . Hckk quoted an order of the day-of the Lientenant-Governor of Upper Canada , passing a high eniogium on the conduct of the parties engaged in the destruction of the Caroline . Hs wished to know whether this document Lad ever been transmitted to her Majesty's GoTernmest , and whether it had been ap iroved of by them ? Lord J . RVSSELL replied that the document had been communicated , and the views of the Government upon the subject had been , represented to the Government of America .
Mr . T . Docohbe asked , whether the British Go-Ternment h " . d approved or disapproved of the destruction of the Caroline ? Lord Palmerston replied that her Majesty's Go-Temment thought , nnder fee 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 ansTrer to another question from Mr . Hl'HE , Lord Palmekstos stated tint the opinion of her Majesty ' s Government had been eon :: i ! anicated 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 ilosPExH obtained leave to brLif in a Bill to amend the Jaws relating to drainage in Ireland , and the improvement of navigation and water power in connection with the system of drainage . Air . F . KELLT moved for leave to bring in a bill for the abolition of the punishment of death in certain « ases . The bin was nearly the same as the one be had unsnccesifnV / y introduced to the House last session of Parliament , but he had arranged it £ D that each instance in which the punishment of death was proposed to be abolished wts aide the snbjtct of a separate clause . He confined the operation of the
preaenx Bill to Eaglaad and Wales , but he pledged himself , if successful in carrying this Bill 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 a Bill for the purpose of abolishing the punishment of death in some cases ; and if any disclosure had been 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 gs to the extent he thought necessary , be then moved for leave to bring in his Bill , which , however , he would not carry into committee until he should have an opportunity of seeing the Ministerial measure . " Jlr . EwiET seconded ihe motioa .
Lord J . Kl'SSELL ss : d there were certainly ewes of crime now punishable with death , which oujht not to be so ; and be could nzt , therefore , refuse his assent to the introduction of the Bill of the Eon . and Learned Gentleman . He cou ' . d not , however , a ? ree in the avowed object of iha Hon . and Learned Gtntlemznthat of abolishing the punishment of death altogether . Crimea , apparently of the same nature , were often Tery different in enoruiitj ; for instance , an atter cpt to set Ere to ships in her Msjrsty * dockyards was an offence ¦ which partook of t ' ue character of high treason ; ¦ whereas , setting fire to s-. > iae ropes , 01 other such offences against mere property , wo ^ ld be crimes very different in magnitude fr in the former . Ke was of opinion tha : i : would be highly desirable to haTe a revision cf the wiio ^ e crimina ' : lair , so as to render the punishments actually enforced more reoEcQeble with the punishments directed by ihc statutes . Leave was then ( riven to brine in ths Bill .
Captaia Pechell obtaiae-J leave to bring in a Bill to amend lire Titae Hrcovery Act 3 th &r , d 6 th Win . IT . ; , and to take away the jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts in all matters relating to tithes of a certain amount . Mr . F . MaCLS moved to bring in a Bill en tie rnbject of county courts . He noticed the evil of s ? parate Acts for the recovery of small debts in separate districts , leading to different practices in different p : ae 2 i His first proposal would be to extend the jari-dictioa of the county courts to . a larger sum than at presect ; he would suggest £ 20 . He would maic them ambulatory within their own districts . He Wuii-d have a Judge for each , to be appointed by the Government at a £ Xrd salary . He would abolish all -written pleadings , and make a summons the only process . Oa any amount under £ 5 the Judge might decide without a Jury ,- on be
aay larger amennt a Jury mi ^ lit demandabie by citLtr party . The patties themselves should be examlnaye , and no witness should be ineoajL-eient oa the score of inter , st . He would give to the court a jurisdiction also in the rec very of gma . il tenements . Xiie patronage of the Government , nnder such a system , would doubtless be considerable ; but , in fact , it existed already , for the Cfrsncellor , at pres : ct , appointed the Judge under every one of tie local Act 3 . It wls not in contemplation to take away the jurisdiction of Hundred Cuurts cr Courts of Requests ; though he certainly did belisTe that the county courts would soon withdraw their "business from them . Tba Judge was not to practise at the bar ; aad his salary was to be at first £ Suo , aafl to increase , as basiuss 3 should increase , until it rescued a maximum of £ l . 5 iro . An analogous measure had been introduced into Scotland with the best effect .
Mr . EvtaXvT observed , that Ireland also had a similar benefit , in fctr institution of assistant barristers They , howeTer , were permitted to practise at the-bar ; tnd this had its advantage , in keeping the judges familiar vrith the law . He wished to carry the principle of the measure yet farther &m th « Government had proposed , by substituting throughout the kicgdom stipendiary magistrates for the present justices d the peace Mr . Wood ( o ! Middlesex ^ deprecated this List suggestion , and ¦ wh ile he approved the pr&tent measure , yet he cautioned the House against allomcg tils sew claes of magistrates to absorb the criminal as -well -as the civil administration of justice . Mr . HrjfZ ag ?_ -ed in the views of Mr . Ewart- He did not think tie money would be bad : y laid ont in these salaries , but he vrishEtl the limit of the jurisdic tion extended to £ 100 .
Mt . Havtes concurred ia this wish . It was so important to Vc £ t judicial appointment ia the Crown , that Le trusted the patronage would net be an objection . It might safe ; y be tx-rcised by the Lord ChanoeUor cr the Lcr . i Chitf Jus ' . ice . Mr . O'Co . n > ELL cousiderevl the chief defect of-the bill to 1-e , that it di-J n-jt combine tb « criminal with the civil jurisdiction . It consiituted a parai \ -tic jud ^ e , alive oti the civil side , but dead on the crimicaL Tilt courts of the prestnt magistrates trere cer ^ iuly no ! the courts of the po ^ r Kin . Ke should be very sorrj to see ary of the patronage given to jujgts , except ths Chancellor , who was a re potsib ' e Jlii . Utsr of ths CroTrn . It would destroy tlie political iudepeadeuct of the jnaior bar to put their promotion ia the hasvL ef the L-Jti Chitf Jaitice .
Mr . Gjlllt K . N 1 GUT oV-jected to the notion cf subftituting Etiuenuiary majristratts for the presr nt unpaid ' maristracv . aad wculti fefcl great jealousy of acy measure having tbat temieney . ' Mr . Villiers thought there was nothing in the pre- sent proposal to excite either jsalousy or alarau Mr . CEESS'WELL epprehended gn ^ it dissatisfaction ; to suitors if they were forced into a , court from "which \ there ¦ Rvuld bs no appeal ; and great expence to them , if appeals were allowed , iato which tney could . be inveigled by low practitioners . He vindicated the j fear from ths itnputatiou that they would be corrnpts .-d ; by pttronage , in the hands cf the Judges . Xfee Judges bad now Tor was years had the appointment of the revising barristers , bet no decline of independence hmt followed .
Mr . Fox MaCLE deemed it best to abstain for the present Iron giving compulsory jurisdiction for a higher amount than £ 20 , The County Courts had already , and would still possess , power to decide upon larger amounts , ¦ where both the parties consented . Leave having been given for this B 31 , Mr . Fox Maule moved the introduction of another connected with it , and enabling the Chancellor to direct the reference to County Courts of that business in bankrupt ** which , in the country , is now devolved spon local Commissioners . The same sort of reference might be made in country Cises of insolvency . And the Coonry Court might also with advantage take the business of lunacy in ine country . The number of Judges to be proposed in the fonaer Bill , which wouid probably be abcut twenty-five , mi « ht be expected to suffice for the whole business coinioiUf-4 to them by both Bills ; but , lest they should be unable to transact it all , lie had _ , Bseriid in this second Hill a fOTcr Jo the dauceilor of * cre £ iine their cumber .

Mr . Ha WEs was sure the measure would giTe great satisfaction to the mercantile interests ; and leave was gives to introduce the Bill . < j ) n the motion of Mr . Emersos Tensest , theHouae want into committee en the laws affecting the copyright of designs ; and he then proposed an extension of the term of three months , the present limit of protection , to a term of twelve months . Mr . M . Philips was unfavourable to the change . Mr . Laboccbebk doubted the expediency of extesding the term beyond half » year . Mr . Colquhopn supported the motion . Mr . Mobriso . n thought six months sufficient Mr . Williams objected to all change . Mr , Sergeant Talfourd continued to desire protectection for works of invention . Mr . OCosskll was an adTocate for the twelve aonthi term .
Mr . Hchk slid , this was going a great deal too far ; indeed , ho and Mr . Brotiieeto . t , who fallowed him , ¦ aw no necessity for any protection at all . Mr . Wabbcbto . n thought it hazardous to take bo loag a term as twelve months . Mr- E . TERSEST replied ; and the Chairman was instructed to move the Honse for leave to bring in a Bill in accordance with Mr . E . Tennent ' s proposal ; which was done , and leave granted . Mr . O'Cossell moved for various returns relating to licensed victuallers ; after which , . Mr . Ditett asked leave to bring in ft Bill foi allowing Jews to make the declaratioa contained in the Acts 1 and 2 Victoria , chap . 5 and 15 , on admission to corporate offices . He thought it but just to put the Jews oa the same footing with the Quakers and the Moravians .
Sir Robert I . nglis resisted this motion . He believed there was only one individual wLom such a Bill would benefit—namely , Mr . David Salomons , who had petitioned the House upon the subject . His own ot ^ rction 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 . Wakbuktox 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 ha 4 complained last year of Mehemet Ali for bis alleged persecution of the Jews , but really their own civil persecution of that people was just as bad .
Mr . GL \ DSTONE said Mr . Warburton had illustrated Sir R . Inglia ' s objection , in arguing that because Jews are permitted to enjoy the privilege of holdiDg land , therefore Jews must be admitted to ulterior privileges . He would not , however , resist , tke introduction of the Bill . Air . 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 to a full discussion of the whole subject in some of the further stages . Mr . A . Wbite said that a respectaVe constituent of his own at Sunderlrvnd had been excluded by the existing law from a corporate office to which he had been elected . ] f we wished to convert the Jews , we ought to act oa the Christian principle of doing to them as we would that they should do to * us .
Mr . Diyett said a few words in reply , and leave was given to introduce the Bill . The House then adjourned t'li Thursday .

THE PROTECTED CAPITALIST AND HIS CAPITAL . AGAINST THE UNPROTECTED LABOUREH AN'D HIS LABOUB . Droylsd n is at this time one scene of poverty , misery , distress , starvation , and want , in consequence of the iate turn-out of the power-loom weavers . A few years ago , tc-vrral gentlemen ( save the mark . ' ) from the t jvra of Stockport , built a large factory in this villag ? ; their CTi ^ uioi liiteation was to have made it into a but manufactory , Lu . finding it impossible to bring the men into so close a compass as that , they thought th ? y fliight just do is they thought proper with tbtm ; they took a second consideration , and converted it into a cotton-hcil , to Sil which , \ cith a bufflcient cumber of hands , they the masters ; m ^ de great promises , and
held out great hopes to tae -workpeople , which had the desired effect in procuring them . People canie thither from 3 lmost every tjwa and village in Lancashire and Cheiliir ? . But , mark the sequel ! No souner had they got ; hr : n there , than the misters began to practice all sorts of tyranny , making good the old adage , " we have you fast n ^ w , and we can do what we like with you . " About tbrte ¦ wetks since , the masters gave notice of an abatement , to the tune of five shining- " , fromtvery four loom weaver . The hands whispered among theuuelv ^ s , and n-soivtd to mist it by turning ont , which the masters gt > z wind of , but took uo notice until a few hours before the expiration of the notice , when the hands were surprised by the sudden stoppage of the engine ; ar . d . upon inquiry , they were
told something was ami-s with it . This ia a tiick which ha % been repea ' oily resorttd to . under similar circumstances ; the main and sole olject of which was to prevent the weavers fro : u getting in their cuts , and in the event of thtir not returning to their work at the ve-iuced price , to cbeat the hauds out of some two , soina three , and some four each , which according to Cotton law would be forfeited . The masters , in order to carry out thtir robbery and vilhny , sent foi a band of b . ue bottle police , to guard , to be sure , the master's property , and intimidate tha turn-outs ; overlookers , lickspittles , and understrappers , were sent tc scsur the surrounding toia-ns fur the surplus people , who were out of employment , to bring in as knobsticks . Not satisfied even with that , they used their influence
oa every occasion , where they had any , ia preventing tietnrBoats from procuring work it other mills . In one instance , two young women -went to Ashton , and got a 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 is certainly a disgrace to human nature , tc Asaton , -wiio saw the females , and promised them if they would but return , the condition would be , tha ! they would have their looms again , and should , in aUdition to that , have the best work . The unsuspecting lasses took them at 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 ! On approaching their old
masttrs , they were told to go about their business ; after persuadicg them to leave the place they were then at , and not only so , but they have forfeited what ¦ wor k 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 full description of their persons , names , and ages . Xbis is a / prcies of superlative rascality , treachery , and black-hearted deception . By the exertion of the tools , nearly the number of haeds have been procured to snpply 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 never to tare them again , and what aggravates the thing

more U , tha whole faaille * worked at this mill , and , of course , they have * J 1 met the awae fate . The spinners and dressers wt re compelled by the masters to » end their wives and children into the factory ; all who were able , till others could be fetched , or otherwise they must likewise be discharged . Those overlookers and lickspittles , who could and did practise most spite and malignity towards the torn-outs , were beat received by the masters ; while , on the contrary , those who 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 tyrannic *! cotton lards . The work , before the abatement , was very bad , and the poor people were only able
to get aa much as kept them living from hand to mouth , at this rery Inclement season of the year , and what they will do now , Ged only knows . The heads of the families will hare to wander up and down the country , in search of work , 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 remoring their goods . Will it be believed , that these masters are celebrated as promoters of Teligion , temperance , and morality ; subscribe to the various charitable institutions ; and that their names are blazed about in the different reports , as though they were the most
immaculate saints in Christendom ? These greedy , grasping , grinding , robbing , plundering Tillains , are as mealy mouthed , and make as much profession as though they were the most pure , virtuous , and harmless creatures in the world ; but , by thew conduct , they prove themselves the most odious wretches , and are guilty of cant , hypocrisy , brutality , hard-htartedness , cruelty , and blasphemy . They laugh , jeer , sneer , and exult at the triumph they have achieved over their helpless dependants—a disgrace to religion . io humanity , to society , and to every thing virtuous , honourable , and praiseworthy . The hatters and colliers are yet out , and are no nearer cowing to a settlement .

A meeting of the members of the Association was held on Tueadayereain ^ , when the income and expenditure of the previous month was laid before the society ; after the election of a fresh Committee , and other business of importance , it was agreed that Mr . Pitkethlev , of Huddersfield , be put in nomination at the West Riding delegate meeting , as a fit and proper person to represent tho West Riding in the forthcoming
National Delegate Meeting to be held in Manchester . SALFORD . —The Association met here on Sunday evening , and were again disappointed by the nonattendance of Mr . Buttorworth , of which we hear loud complaints . Moro than 3 g . was collected towards defraying the expence of the Frost , Williams , and , Jones Committee . The members are increasing : and , through the exertions of the Committee , the town is being organised into classes . The conduct of Mr . Nightingale , in going to Walsall to aid the Tory against the Whig , met with the reprobation of the meeting ; as no good Chartist can conscientiously assist either Whig or Tory . An amusement claes meets every Saturday evening , to keep our members from the public house . Mr . Leach will lecture on Sunday eveninr .
BRADFORD . —Discussion . —According to announcement in the Star of last week , a discussion was held on Tuesday evening last , at the Hope and Anchor Inn , Market-street , between tho Chartists and the members of . the Parliamentary Reform Association . At the time for commencing , the large room was crowded to excess , a great majority of them Chartists . Mr . S . Sowden , of Horton , was appointed chairman for tho Chartists , and Mr . G . Sugden for the Household Suffrage party . Mr . H . Burnett , Chartist , entered with ability , and at great length , into the question ; and was met by Mr . Wilkinson . Tho discussion waa continued at
great length , until half-past ten o ' clock , by Messrs . Smith , Hodgson , Arran , and Burnett , Chartists ; and Messrs . Jackson , Shackleton , and Wilkinson , Household Suffrage men , but professed Republicans . Mr . Hodgson rose , and proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Oddy : — " That it is tho opinion of this meeting , the Government of the country has , by degrees , become so corrupt , that nothing short of Universal Suffrage will eradicate the evils it has engendered . " Mr . C . Wilkinson proposed an amendment , which was seconded , and about six hands held up for it . Great cheers and clapping of hands followed this result .

On Monday evening , was held the first anniversary meeting of the members of the Leeds Fox and Goose Club , on which occasion tho " birds and beasts" assembled in the Saloon 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 ercheBtra , and without ceremony seated himself on the chair—Fox Cummins acting the part of fugle-man , and the geese clapping iheir wings in token of satisfaction . Tho Chairman , as in duty bound , apologised for the absence of the chief Fox ( Marshall ) by . saying he had gone to get mated , aud , 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 pot scheme was a failure , and themselves were taken captivo by tho naughty Chartists . ( Symptoms of uneasiness , accompanied by great elongation of the colline portion of the frame , wora visible amongst the geese at this announcement . ) These insinuations , ho said , wero 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 Fpite of ail , had passed peaceably off , demonstrating to the world that the Leeds geese wero not of that vulgar kind , lacking trains , but wero hko those of old , which , by their cackling , saved from destruction the Roman cipitol .
Mr . Fox Smilis , ( who weakly does tho amiable for " Mother Goose ") was then requested to make his bow , aud favour the ilock with a report of all tho benefits which had resulted to them from their league with the foxes . This union of theirs , he 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 recenc presence amongst t iem , ( although he only came to cat 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 hithorto looked upon as enemies , and offering tho best guarantee that the foxes would no longer pick tho bones of the geese , provided always that the latter suffered the former to rule the " roosl" afcer their own fashion , only such ircese as had golden nnrs and well-feathered nests
belli };; allowed to have a voice in the management ot ' ihcr own affairs . This , the document ho had drawn up considered aa the very climax of perfection ; ami when it was granted that their votes should be jjiven in secret , without a chance of one goose knowing whai the other had done , it was clear that their condition must be so materially bencfitted as I a leave them nothing to desire . Besides this , however , he could assure them tho foxes would , as soon as the ^ etse furnished the nieana , provide them Witn a public building , in which they mi ^ ht assemble it 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 , they intended to supply with books aud newspapers , but only such as met their own views . The geese received the announcement with great complacency , and fluttered their feathers with delight .
Mr . Fox Gooi > . \ u . y moved that the document which Fox Smiles had submitted to them be approved and adopted . He looked upon the uniou as tho nucleus of an organization which must keep the Tories from po'itical power , itself an important consideration , aa cytry thing thoy had to hope for was in the preservation of the present government , under whose protection both foxes and geese would b >; be ; tcr and safer than they would be under the Tories . Mr . Gooso Martin , in an address of an hour'a duration , seconded tha motion . Ho said they had formed the most powerful Association ever established iu this country—an Association whose end and aim wero the welfare and happiness of the whole Ho them
community of ^ tese . congratulated on the peculiarly appropriate title which tkey had obtained , and which lml been bestowed upon them by the Northern Star . [ W . ncn the speaker styled tho title appropriate , he cast a furtive glance at the foxes by whom ho was surrounded , who showed their teeth slightly , but the ^ eese wove in extacies , and cackled loud and long ] He con ended that the present House of Coaimund did not represent the wishes of tho g « -se , but was a tool in tho hands of the aristocratic ioxes . The suffrage must be extended , but what that extension should be , could only ba ascertained by knowing how far it would be conducive to the public good . IIo held up to admiration the example of Republican America , and drow a
forcible contrast between tho institutions of that country and those of ouv own , adding that though under present circumstanced , he did not consider it . politic to advocate republican doctrines , their tribes not having bjcjme sufficiently e ^ lightened to receive them ; yet he was convinced that to this it must como at last , and the sooner tho better . [ The { , 'ce ^ o her . upon flsw up in extarCies , while tho ioxes exchanged suspicious looks . ] Order being restored , and tlie speaker having retired to his seat , Mr . Fox Goodman again rose , aud said ho could not permit it to go forth that the Leeds Royal Loyal Fox aud Goosa Club advocated buch principles as those promulgated by tho last speaker—it should not emanate i ' rota that assembly , that thay were the advocates of Republicanism ; because , were such doctrines to prevail , the foxes would loso their
power , and it was one of tho decrees of Providence that as both foxea and geese had always baen in the laud , so they should always continue . The gceso did not like this ; » Hd Martin again stood forward . It was evident that he had " puc the cat among the pigeons , " and by way of satisfying tho foxes , and calming their fears lor the safety and preservation of their order , he said ha had qualified his observations , and he again repeated that in the present state of the public 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 . FoxCcmhins roBe to support the motion , which he did in a speech which no goose could understand , for this plain reason , that he could not understand it himself , but took care to mako it impressive by furious grimace and harlequinade . Tho resolutioH was then put and carried .
Mr . Fox Flint , tho master mind of the meeting , moved the next resolution , which was as follows : That this Association holds itself fully warranted in the stops it has hitherto taktn , and the measures it has bitherto adopted , wLth the view of carrying out

the principle * of public liberty ; and resolvea to continue ttrenuooBly to exert itself in bringing about a union between the middle and workltg classes , and in working oat such an enlargement of the representation as ahaU secure good . Government for all classes ol the community . His doctrine was for free trade which , when carried oat to its full extent , he contended , waa the only principle that could Becure the comfort and happiness of the working g « ese . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Goose Speed , and carried unanimously .
The next resolution , as follows , That th > meeting especially recommends to the in-coming committee 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 ao far as practicable , to carry out 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 Green moved , and Mr . Goose Robinson seconded ,
That the Association considers the great demonstra tion 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 gtoe an impulse to public opinion on the great quj 3 ttan of organic changes and reforms . —^ Carried . Mr . Fox Bower was received with loud cackling from the geese . He had not much to say ; but aa he had known Baines for many years , ho could not help telling their Chairman that ho was a much cleverer Fox than Barnes , as the excellent articles which he had recently published in the Leeds Times , clearly proved ; in fact , it was evident Baines could not half write like him . He moved
That the cordial thanks of the Association be given to those Members ef Parliament , and others , who have hitherto so zealously aided as in our t florts 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 discngsion , on the means of accomplishing the important end we have in view . Tho resolution was seconded by Mr . Goose Btrrterwouth , who declared that he had been highly gratified by the conduct of the Chartists at the Demonstration . ( " Hush , hush , " from tho Foxes , with " Quack , quack , "from the Geese . ) The resolution was carried . The following names were then submitted to constitute the committee for tho ensuing year : —
FOXES . GEESE . James G . Marshall Edward Sunderland Hamer Stansfeld Andrew Keenan George Goodman Joseph NichoHs H . C .

— Horseman Benjamin A . ddtman . 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 ai they went on the good thing ? they had heard ; but showing a determination to have a little of their own way , in epite of the claws and teeth of tho foxes .

LOUGHBOR . OUGH . —Doings at the Bastile . —Much excitement has been in this town during the last week , in consequence of the rutnoared severity practised by the new master aud mistress , on the inmates , who have , in some case 3 , rebelled ; and henco the police have have been called in . Inconsequence , a public meeting was held on Monday night , the 8 : h insi ; ., when the following letter , sent out of the house to a friend , was read : — " We now mako bold to trouble you with these few lines , to make known a few of tho 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 aro allowed to see one another ; aud thoss
who do suck , are onl y 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 , thoy are stopt their allowance of food if they happen to wet or dirty the bed . Now , they have issued fresh orders , deuyiug the friends of any ono bringing any trifle into them , such as a littla 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 tho 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 dinnor-hour ; and another was threatened with the
worst , for persisting to see- his wife , when it was expected she was almost at tho point of death ; and another was put in the hole for taking one small potato , when gotting some in for the use of the house ; and another , on being told that his child wag sick of the measles , atked pci mission to see it on Sunday , and was refused ; and another who had an old pair of trousers given liiraou his admission into the houae , that were cracked on the knee , on eitting 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 enow , during the past hard weather , breaking stones . So
hoping that you will make u as public as possible . If you think it worth insertion , it being only a sketch of some of our hardships , as wo 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 Bufferers in the Loughborough union , and friends of the cause of liberty —• . " A deputation was appoint eJ to wait on the acting overseer , requesting him to call a public meeting , that an investigation may take place as to the truth of the reports . The deputation wa ted on him on Tuesday the 9 th ; and , in hia hauds , tho subject remains at present .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , February ll ( h Ha If- past Seven . Money Market and City News . —This has been a dull week in commercial affair ;! , whatever it may have been in Court circles . Failures have occurred in different branches of trade , which exhibit , generally , very ruinous accounts ; and timid persons are afraid to launch out , lest those should lead to other mishaps , by which they might be injured Tho provailiug fooling seems to be , that " prudent" men will desist from entering upon any extensive operations , until they geo what the" course of events" will bring forth ; " and in this respect , the opinion expressed in my ) a > t , has received additional confirmation during the past three days ; when one of those sudden changes to which the " money juggle" is liablo was experienced . I
remarked , last week , that money was unusually abundant , and that the rate of interest had fallen , and was / ailing . This state of affairs has suffered a complete reverse since Monday morning ; aa the market has now become what the jobbers denominate " tight ; " that is , a gradual but compete advance of the rate of iuterest haa taken place , without any apparent forced action oh tho part of the liank , or other moving power , to account for tho alteration . At the same time that money became more valuable ' out of door , " the demand for it haa been increased on tho Stock Exchange , by a buccession of heavy sales of money stock b y various leading firms , which have abstracted much of the " loose tin" from the market . First-rate bills , with good deposits as security , cannot be " melted" under five per cent . ; and through a secondary channel , a corresponding douceur must be the accompaniment .
LxPtciED Dissolution o * Parliament . — A dissolution is expected immediately : Ministers have determined oa this step , rather Mian resign : —they wul risk any and every thing rather than the los of place and Court favours , and have not kept their councils so secret but this much has transpired .

¦« - ~ " ~^ - " ~ ™~—^^——^~^ - ^ ^ ^ ** - ^ ^ ^ r-ACCIDENT AT CASTLE DOUGLAS . BREAKING DOWN OF A CHARTIST MEETING BOOM . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —It is a painful task , at any time , to announce sccidents , and to appeal to the public in behalf of the sufferers . Oa the present occasion , 1 regret ta state , that a very ssvere accident occurred at Caitle Douglas , on Friday , the 5 th of February , through which a number of working men have suffered severe irjjries , and some of them , I fear , may be diaabltd for life . I shall state U 19 simple facts of the casa , and leave the subject with my brother CharttsU , who h&ve , on all occasions , so nobly a ded the imprisoned , supported the ux . fonuaate , and upheld thtir character for generosity and justice .
Oa my arrival at Castle Douglas , according to previous appointment , 1 learned that JJr . ilaitland , of Gelston CasUe , and other scrubs in the neighbourhood , had rattled in their carriages , and calling some of the magistrates tui-ether , as -well as viaiiing the tradesmen who had the ititiug oi tbe M ; uoa"B Lodg « , prohibited my proyascti nie ^ ung ia any of the public rooms in the lO * rn-I resided , in my boyhood , znxDy y /? ars ia Castle Douglas . I have no ; beer , there sluim 1 waa publicly engaged ia th . p'jhticil movement ; therefore there was an nnusvul a :. iict \ tu hear my proposed lecture .
A "workrt-o . n bei . > :: ti :--g to Mr . Jnglis , coach builder , TT-s , at length , procure :, oivl long before the hoar of -meeting the "workits iucr . flecked in from all the surrounding villages , Tae rojin was packed fu . l , but tbe joists "were nfcTer intended to carry such an unusual burden , and tbe const q-Jccte was tb . it the greater part of tht fiuoriug gw-- w .-y , and soiiie 50 U people were cast -down with dreadful force on the top of t * 6 h other aud into the apartment bene . it . ' :, where a sce ; . e of confusion ensued which totally l-aftl-s ail description . I was detained ia Cvin ^ ersav . on by one of the magistrates , who , together with a great number of Uit )
middle-cliS ., were bending thsir sWps to the n-. eetiug room , and bnt for vhnt fortunate circumstance , every one is of opinion that a difference of two minutts or less , would have settled all matters of dispute between the Government and the * ' little Doctor . " As it was , many of the shopkeepers , aiid one or two medical men "went down ia the melcc—however , ¦ with their usiul good fortune , they 6 tcaj > ed scot iree . The whole miscbisf fell upon a number of unlucky working men , and Gixl knows , their weakened frames , stinted in nourishment , contributed much tj tteir hclpltsintsss , and adds to their miifortiujfcs .
I regret to say tint somo very severe injuries were sustained , from a compound trj . c : ure in the leg to a simple bruise on the hend—for : unate 3 y , no lives were lost . A number of working men are , consequently su seri ^ csly injured as to be uUerl } - ur . able to purtue Uieir tLSUll irSaleS , ana , I imagine , it is only ntctssary to mention this to secure a . pubhc subscription from the people—from all , at least , whose means will enable them to soothe ths sufferings of the pour and put a balm upon the wounds of the injured . Mr . Aitken , bookseller , and Mr . B ! : v \ r , butcher , Castle D niglas , will be happy to rectiTc aud distribute CJ ^ tribiiUuES . I remain , dear Sir , Yours sincerely , Oa behalf of the Castle Djutlas sistrcrs , P . ii-DofALL .
