Okntiih Or Ooiii'nitativ/I Aohncv.—The P...
Fitzroy-square , for the promotion of Cooperation , have now instituted , Under Trust , " a Central Cooperative Agency , " to counteract the system of adulteration and fraud now prevailing in Trade , and to promote the principle of Cooperative Association . " " This agency is founded upon the following principles : —That trade , exchange , distribution of goods , are trusts to be administered alike in the mutual interests of producers and consumers , not to be conducted as matters of speculation . That any adulteration , fraud , falsehood of any kind , in price , quantity , or quality , is a misdemeanour , and should be dealt with as such by public
opinion , and by each individual producer or consumer , in the absence of law . That the most legitimate and efficient means which the wealthier classes have for aiding the working-men , and both working-men and the wealthier classes for aiding the poor out of employment , is to secure their consumption to cooperative establishments by giving their orders through a regular channel , acting under an especial responsibility for the purpose . That an equitable and freely accepted arbitration between producers and consumers , and the regulation of demand and supply according to the cooperative principle , should be substituted for the arbitrary and selfish power of private speculation .
" Rulea have been framed and printed , to enable any number of families of all classes in any district of London or any part of the country to form themselves into ' friendly societies , ' for enjoying the benefit of cooperative stores . To be sent by post to parties forwarding four stamps . Particulars of the nature and objects of the Central Cooperative Agency , with a digest of the deed of settlement , are to be found in the printed report of a meeting held at the central office of the agency . To be sent by post to parties forwarding four stamps . A list of articles with the wholesale prices for cooperative stores , and a detailed catalogue for private customers , will also be sent by post on payment of one stamp for the wholesale list , and two for the catalogue . Particulars , rules , list , and catalogue will be forwarded immediately on receipt of ten stamps . "
These objects are of incalculable interest , morally and pecuniarily , to the public , and we hope they will receive that attention which will prove that no company works in vain in this department . Eclectic Institute . —On Monday evening a crowd assembled in the Eclectic Institute , Dean-strt-et , Soho , to consider the awful depopulation of Ireland . The speakers were , Mr . O'Connor , M . P . ; Messrs . Rogers , Laurie , O'Brien . Jefferson , Ellis , Bezer . Mr . Anstey , M . P ., Messrs . Thornton Hunt , Ernest Jones , G . J . Holyoake , who were invited , were prevented by engagements from being present . A vote of thanks was passed to the editors of the Leader , Northern Star , Glasgow Sentinel , and Reynolds s Newspaper , for the gratuitous publicity they had given to the announcement of this meeting . The resolutions were passed unanimously . They were inserted in our last number .
Redemption Society . —We are still earnestly engaged in carrying out the scheme of propagandism agreed to by the late congress . The camp meeting , which was to have been held last Sunday on Woodhousemoor , Leeds , was prevented on account of the rain . The eamp meeting on Skircoat-moor , Halifax , was held , and well attended , although it rained nearly the whole time . The people kept well together . The meeting was addressed by Mr . D . Green , of Leeds , Mr . James Campbell , of Manchester , and several other friends , who received repeated tokens of approbation from the audience . —Mr . Henderson , of Leeds , delivered a lecture in the Christian Brethren ' s Room , Huddersfield , last Sunday , on the evils which result from competition in trade . At the conclusion of the lecture Mr . Bowker , of Huddersfield , requested permission to speak in opposition , when it was
decided by the audience that a regular discussion should take place in the evening . The discussion lasted from half-past six o ' clock till after nine , and was conducted in a satisfactory manner , free from all bitterness and abuse Many new members have been enrolled in consequence of these meetings . Two open air meetings will be held in the neighbourhood of Leeds next Sunday , weather permitting . Mr . Henderson has been spending a short time at the nociety ' a estate , and reports that all is going on well . The crops arc in excellent condition , and promise an abundant harvest . The members enjoy good health , and live and work together in harmony . Nothing seems wanting but more house accommodation . The prompt completion of the building fund is the one thing needful for our hiicccmh . We hoju ; the friends of association who are able will assist us in this matter .
The following extract of a letter received from the community , since the return of Mr . If ., will show the opinion of the located members : — "It is with great pleasure that I sit down to write to you this week , as I believe we are in a more favourable and progressive state than I have ever seen our community since 1 came into it .

"MALTHUS AGAIN" ! 39 . Park-street , July 22 , 1851 . Sir , —In the Leader , " Vol . II ., No . 66 , page 616 , we read , in an article entitled " Malthus Again ! "" That population , if unchecked , would advance as 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 , while food would only advance as 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ;" the latter a gross blunder , as any one would find out who had an opportunity of observing the multiplying effect of spade husbandry , followed by good manuring and judicious croppiivg . The real fact is , food by such a system of cultivation would always be in advance of population as 1 , 2 , 8 , 16 is to or ] y 1 , 2 , 4 , 8 . Arthur Tkevelyan .

CANT IN SCOTLAND . Paisley . July 20 , 1851 . Sir , —The walls at the corners of the streets , and in the chief places here , were seen placarded to-day with hand-posters : — REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY ! But why the parties who put up these placards did po , we cannot , on reasonuble grounds , determine . Why theyshould select this , the least important , and the most Jewish of the commandments in the Decalogue , is not easily comprehended . We are led to suppose that by adopting this commandment in preference to those which forbid crimes against humanity —such as , " Thou shalt not kill ; " " Thou shalt not steal ; " "Thou shalt not commit adultery "—these pious Sabbatarians suppose murder , theft , and licentiousness less reprehensible than Sundtiy travelling ! Let us advise these pious parties to issue next Sunday a second edition of the placard , thus : — REMEM 11 EH the ka 1 siiatii day and spend it not in drunkenness ! Hut , really , until some oilier means arc given tho working- classes in Scotland for enjoyment on Sunday , they must needs indulge in the convenient enjoyment of intoxication . Pious , whisky-loving Scotland ! 1 am , sir , your obedient servant , An On-lookkh ,
Uy the by , a few Sabbatarians in the management of our coffee-room , the principal news-room in town , contrived lately to get the directors—good easy souls !—to . shut tho room early on the Sunday evenings , with a view in tho long run to close it altogether on that day ; but a linn remonstrance from th « subscribers indicated dumnge to the dividends of the company , and brought tho directors to their Henries . Tin ; room was only closed one evenintr .
Marriage With A Deceased Wife's Sister. ...
MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER . Dundee , July 17 , 1801 . Sir , — In your edition of last week I noticed , in the columns devoted to Open Council , Koine p ; isnage . drawn from Scripture , which Mr . Friend ( the writer of the article ) thinlcH are prohibitions of " marriage with a deceased wife ' s winter ; " and 1 luuut e . onfesa that'they appear to me in the name light . Hut I think thut by referring to Duet . xxv . 5 , (> , he will find that an inference in favour of such
nuirriagt'H cum easily lie drawn . Thus—it ih then ; laid down jih u law that , if a man ( lien without lcaviii " issue , hin brother is to many Ihh ( hi « brother '^) wife , and raise up children , & c . Now , 1 ask , may we not reasonably infer that , if this is to be the case ; when u hiiHlmnd d ' wn , exactly the opponite is proper if the wifo dies ; viz ., that the husband Hhould murfy hia deceased wife ' s sinter , & c . ? Although 1 have taken this view of the subject from the fcJcripturen , 1 hold tho contrary opinion ,
viz ., that a law legalising such marriages would be injurious to society , and may at some future period trouble you with my opinions on this subject . Meantime I remain , yours very respectfully , A Constant Reader .
Sub-Dealers In Fxour.— "We Have Received...
Sub-Dealers in Fxour . — " We have received a letter from Mr . Smithurst , of Farnsfleld , complaining of the public evil of the existence of " a class of sub-dealers " in flour , who attract purchasers for it by offering it at reduced prices , which they are enabled to do by adulterating the article .
Health Of London During The Week. (From ...
HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK . ( From the Registrar-General ' s Report . ) It was shown in the last report that the public health had improved to some extent under the influence of more genial weather . It will now be seen that the return for the period that has intervened adds its testimony to the improvement . During May and June the weekly deaths in London were about 1000 , or never fell very considerably below that amount ; in the week ending July 12 they declined to 881 , and in the week ending last Saturday to 873 . In the 10 corresponding weeks of 1841-50 the average number of deaths was 975 , or corrected for an increase of population 1073 , compared with which the 873 deaths of last week exhibit a great decrease . The births of 719 boys and 688 girls , in all 1407 children , were registered last week . The average number of six corresponding weeks of 1845 50 is 1284 .
