HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Wednesday , April 29 . Sir CHARLES LEMON brought up the report of the Cambridge Election Committee . Tbe Committee .. reported that the Eon . J . 1 L Button was nut duly elected wth > t the last election for the borough of Cambridge was void , and that neither the petition nor the opposition thereto wa « frivolous or vexatious . The Committee had also agreed to a resolution ,. that the Honourable Mr . Satton -was by ids agents guilty of bribery and treating at the lest election , and that an extensive system of treatirg aud corruption existed in the borough . Mr . WABBITRTON hoped there would be no objection to have the evidence laid on the table , with a view io its being printed . The question that the evidence be laid on the table was then put and agreed to .
Mr . GLADSTONE had » question to put to tbe TJnder-Secretary for the Home Department , with respect to the accuracy of a statement which appeared in the morning papers . It was stated that certain English seamen had , in July la&t , been tried and sentenced by Captain Elliot , at Canton , to & certain term of imprisonment in England , on account of having been engaged in a riot which terminal d in the death of a native Chinese . It further stated that the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown was taken by order of the Home Office , as to whether these persons could be lawfully detained in custody or not . That opinion was in the negative , and that an order was sent from the Home Office for their discharge . He wished to know whether that statement ra correct in all its
Mr . F . MAULE said the statement to which the Hon . Member referred was not correct in all its parts . It was true that these five men were tried in China by a Court eqnstiuited by Captain Elliot , and sentenced to a certain period of imprisonment in England . On that being reported to the Secretary of State , the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown was taken , and they jpre it as their opinion that , as the matter was not ^> dte dear aa to whether Captain Elliot could sentence these persons to imprisonment in England , on the whole 'they reeribmiended that on the arrival of these individuate hi England , they should be liberated . The aea XBBn arrived in the Leaadtr , two days ago , and they w « e accordingly liberated .
'lord HAHON said it should be recollected that just before the reeesa , be had called the attention of the GoTermac&t . to the war with Naples . He saw it stated ia this tncsrtifafn papers , that intelligence had been re-Mired that hostilities had already commenced . Ha begged leave * to ask the Noble Lord , in the absence of ttseoDeana , whether that inteltigeace was confirmed by any anmnt received by the Government ?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he certainly was not aware that any such account had been received . He had met the Secretary for Foreign Affairs two hours before , who had not then received any , though it was possible he might since have done so . MAINE BOUNDARY . Mr . HUME said , as great anxiety existed on this subject , he wished to know what was the present state of the negotiation , and how far we might expect a favourable result Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Honourable Member asked a question of great importance , and perhaps would allow him to take until to-morrow to give an answer to it T ~ . ~ ji tat ^ * . t vttvnnnv » • * ... _
JUTENILE OFFENDERS' BILL . Sir EARDLEY WILMOT moved that the House should go into Committee on this BilL Mr . BARNEBY moved that the Bill be read that day six months . Mr . PRYME seconded the amendment Sir EARDLEY WILMOT hoped , that the House would not refuse to go into Committee on the subject Mr . PRYME said his chief objection to the Bill was the power of summary conviction . The House then divided , when there
appeared—For the Committal of the Bill 70 Against it 20 Majority in favour of the Committal of the Bill , _ 5 o The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the BilL Mr . JONES moved that three Magistrates form the Petty Sessions in place of two . After a few observations from Mr . W . TATTON EOERTOX .
Mr . W AKLE Y said , there was nothing like reducing responsibility into the smallest possible compass , in order more speedily to discover a wrongdoer , and therefore he considered the app inting of Justices , as proposed by the Hon . Member , an evil . If they wer » - appsinted , and a wrong decision come to , the excuse would . be , "Oh ! I was urged ou by colleagues ? " or i } I were appointed , it would be . " Oh : I dtferred to the opinion of one superior in judgment and ago to myself . " Therefore , if they were to have this summary power , he would rather it should be confided to one magistrate only . It would bo a good thing for the country , if three Justices were never to assemble together again . . Behadseenja _ great deal of Jdstacesjgraj he would say that a more' incompetent body ofinin
could nowhere be found —< a laugh from the Opposition » —a body of men more characterised by ill-temptr . faction , and the most besotted ignorance , Cuu'd no : be found thaa the Justices of the Peace of this country . Within these few days an instance had come under his notice , in the Metropolitan Courts , vfhere , if acy-¦ where , it might be presumed , magistrates -wouid be found who knew thtir duty . By an Act of Parliament , every pauper sent t » a County Lunatic Asylum , must be seen by the Justices beforv he was sent , and they must have before them some disinterested surgeon to testify to the lunacy of the said person ; but the magistrates , in the instance to which he alluded , had neither seen the person nor examined a disinterested surgeon . The common practice was for somebody to say to the magistrates that somebody was mad , and to ask the magistrates to sign
a certificate committing somebody to a lunatic asylum , and if somebody was troublesome in the workhouse , he was carted off at once to the lunatic asylum . Seeing the errors the magistrates committed , he was averse to trusting them with any further authority . He would say that a person under fourteen years of age was as much entitled to trial by Jury as a person of double that age ; and in all cases trial by Jury should be had recourse to , and not that cases should be disposed of La a summary manner . The Government ought to take this question up , and to obviate the evil complained of , by granting more frequent gaol deliveries . He hoped and trusted that instead of bringing in some measure such as that before them , the Government would propose one of a more general nature , and which ¦ wou ld be ' setter adapted to meet the views of the Hon . Baronet , the Member for Warwicksidre . After a few -words from Sir E . "Wilinot , the amend ment was withdrawn .

v - - - STOCKPOBT . reduction of wages—meeting of thh p ower-loom weavers . This Borough is about to be excited to a lamentable extent , the cotton manufacturers who employ upwards 5 , 000 power-loom weavers having given notice to 4 . 000 of that number of another reduction in their wages , the effect of which will be an abatement of twopence in every shilling . Tbe attempt will be resisted to t >< p last , as will be seen below . Thus , in the words of the poeth ' s inhumanity to man , Makes countless thousands mourn . "
The town has been placarded upon the subject by the operatives ; and an immense public meeting of that body was called for Wednesday night , in the large room of the Stanley Arms , Newbridge-lane ; but in consequence of the great number who attended the meeting adjourned to an open spacn of ground behind the Inn , where a can was procured , and the speakers having col into it , Mr . Hexbt Hkvwooirwas called to the chair . He opened the business of the meetiug with a few prefatory observations , directing the serious attention of his hearers to the vast importance of the question , the reduction , if successful , having the effect of taking about four shiliingsout of their present earnings . It was likewise worth y the enquiry , whether the abatement would stop here ; for his own opinion was , if they submitted , they would very soon have another and another , and so the tyrants would proceed until they could get their goods produced almost for nothing .
Mr . Richard Piluno said , tha : the resolution which he had in hid hand was—• ' That it is the opinion of this meeting , that reductions are inju-riou * both to masters and operative ? , shopkeepers and publicans , and that i-vcr \ ext-niou be made to resist them . " It wa 3 a weii-known tact , that , forty years ago , before the ioiprovenn-nts and inventions " were introduced to such -. in extent into factories , that meu . women , and children were happy and content when they could work at home witnin sight of their families ; bat now the toiling in factories had made them subject to the intuits of tho ? e over them—less con tent , and more labour—whilst the progress of those inventions had thrown hundreds , yea thousands , out of employment in eotti-u mills , and mauv of those
who did , were driven to subsist upon the portion o [' the wretched hand-loom weavers . They had almost arrived at the starvation point . He , however , hoped that the weavers would resist the present reduction to the last , else they would be brought to the condition of the hand-loom , with five snillinga a-vreek for twelve hours' work ; and be determined to tell those Ratcliffes , who have repeatedl y broken ( never having been able to manage their own concerns ) , that we will resist th : 8 oppression . Some oi the masters say this reduction is neceesary to enable them to go in the market with others . Why , the fact was , that they had hiui a beuer sale for their goods for the last four or five weeks than ; hey had had for tha previous twelve months : and in fact there were no goods now ou
hand in any of the warehouses in Manchester or Stoekport . He reminded the weavers of the noble strngjjk of eight months' duration which occurred in 1829 , and exhorted them to adopt a similar line of determined perseverance on the present occasion ; because , from inquiries he had made inthe district , he was confident that any abatement was unnecessary , since Preston , Bolton , Ashton , and Hyde , considering their respective distances from ' the market , and taking into account the various xabrics , were paying better prifle * to their baud 3 than was received here . Thereforejjf the redaction succeeded here , it must extend to tSljft other places , A that it would be to their advanrage to uphold their own wages b y supporting the turn-outs of Siockpoit . He had heard a good deal of Marshall law ; but never heard that Marshall abatements were so
definite that workmen were not to meet to protec ; their wages . He trusted tliat the weavers , however , would not submit to this reduction , because it was unnecessary and uncalled for . Then let them meet the tyrants face to face , and tell them m > . With respect to the shopkeepers , the publicans , and others , depending upon the working people for support , it was their interest to protect the turnouts . This abatement alone would contrac ; tne amount of money circulated in the town about £ 40 , 0 d 0 a year ; and if the proposed reduction of twopence would affect the shopkeepers , vfec , to that amount , what would an abatement of three-pence halfpenny , of which notice had been given upon a different fabric ! Rigson , of Lancashire , had given notice of an abatement of fourpence , nvepence , and
even sixpence-halfpenny , upon some qualities . ( Shame . ) Nor would the reduction benefit the master , while it injured the servant . It cut like a double-edged sword . When he got into the market , the merchant would say , " I must have these goods for so much less ; I know you have dropped your weavers twopence or threepence a cut , and I will have it—it is not yours . " Thus both master and servant are injured ; and the difference goes towards supporting those extravagant pensioners who lire upon the taxation of the people , and the amount of whose pensions absolutely becomes enhanced in value by these ve * y reductions , which entails sufferinK for the labouring population . Had it not
been for the resistance which was made m 1829 , the weavers would , at the present time , have been receiving only lOd . for that for which they now paid Is . Ifid . ; th ? refore , follow the advioe of Mr . John Fielden , 11 . P . for Oldham ; be prepared to resist every encroachment made upon your labour , come from what quarter it may . They had better suffer a little for a few weeks in supporting their rights than continue to be slaves as long as they live , which would result from a submission , for they had proof that one abatement was sure to be followed by another . Be determined , be united , tarn-out and show a manly resistance ; and when you are dead and g » ne , your posterity will bless

four name that you , in 1840 , met the tyrants in defence of your labour , and left them to enjoy the jffects . Mr . JoHn Habher seconded the motion . Mr . Thomas Leonard proposed the second— / ' * That it is the opinion of this meeting that ^ be present reductions offered by our masters are unnecessary , and that we do not submit to them , bat thik we , one and all , leave our employ at the expingaH our notice . " , TWv In urging the motion , he cautioned the wearers against the quirks of the conspirators , of prevailing upon the hands to work a little orer the week , as was practised by the Ratcliffes in 1829 , for the purpose of publishing the earnings of the At i iniA _»»¦ ¦ , »
weaver , without at the same time stating the number of days , &c—all which was done to prejudice tbe shopkeepers and others from supporting the turnouts . And such will be the case in the forthcoming contest , if the weavers Buffered themselves to be imposed upon under any pretence by the conspirator ? . The speaker proceeded to remove from the minds of the females present an erroneous impression whioh prevailed , that the men wanted t » take their places at the first opportunity . Nothing of the sort ; the tyrants had already too far reduced bis condition ; and it remained with the females ( one loom out of every six in the town being worked by females ) to show their independence on the present occasion aud prevent further reductions . He adverted at some
length to evils— -moral as well as physical—attending the prevailing system of employing exclusively female * in factories , and arguing as he went on what au amount of injustice and infamy might be prevented from being practised , upon guileless young women , so successfully continued by the overlookers , if men were allowed , as heretofore , to weave ; iu which case many a female might be saved from the hells of prostitution by men-weavers protecting them or lending a hand to keep them in their work . The inefficiency of many female weavers has placed them at the mercy of these lustful overlookers—either to lose their shops in defence of their virtue , or in their anxiety to retain their shops , have lost their innocence and their characters to the artless stratagems
of these profligate overlookers . Many instances of such persons becoming public prostitutes were clearly traced to the present odious factory system . The evils of married women toiling in these hell-holes was manifested everywhere in the ricketty , unhealthy , sicklied children , born of factory parents ; and the moral state of their young families vraranoriie * and flh « tlsuijjt « vidj 9 uo »^ f , the mischiefs which were working in the airids of' enildren , neglected and perhaps unheeded , while the mother was slaving in a cotton mill from half-past five iu the morning till half-past seven at night . He would give them a chance of improving their situation . It is requested by the committee that all the young women particularly should accompany
tnat "Methody , " Marshall , to Tiviot Dale Cnapel , on Sunday morning next . ( Cheers , and luughter . ) He says that he is on the Lord ' s side , and the Lord on his side . He ( Marshall ) stated at one Lord ' s-supper , that he did not know why bis workpeople should have such an antipathy to him , as he found them plenty of work and good material ; bu ; he never said anything about wages . ( Hear . ) So that as he is the Lord ' s man , and the Lord stands by him , it was advisable that the turn-outs should get as near the Lord ' s man aa possible , because then ; they would also be near the Lord , who having made Marshall ii : h , may also , by a little coaxing , make his attendants wealthy also . ( Laughter . ) Therefore , he hoped as many as could make it
convenient , would , quietly and peaceably , accompany this Lord ' s man to chapel , ( f ernley and all . '' O , he'll be there , too . About one hundred females should walk ten deep before his carriage , and one hundred behind , followed by a number of men in the same order . Then he ( the speaker ) was sure if the people only got the Lord on their side , it would do something tor them in their struggle . ( Hear . ) He advised the weavers to lay in a stock of provisions at the co-operative stores ; where they could have the advantage of the cost price ; and , iu conclusion , exhorted them to be firm and united . Joseph Bccklev , in seconding the motion , appealed to the feelings of his hearers as to the general principle and effects of reduction of wages .
Charles Bowman proposed the third resolution . "That it is the opinion of this meeting that tho women do stand out bv the men , and that they do not return to their work without th » mes ; and at those mills where they do not shop men * that they do not return to their wofk unless the masters am willing to shop men . " He enforced the spirit of the resolution in a neat speech . Mrs . Wriolet presented herself upon the hustings for the purpose of seconding tbe proposition , and was received with much cheering . She commenced by asking the females whether they were prepared and determined to stand by the men—to be firm and not submit to the reduced price ? ('' Aye , we are . ") For herself she had made up her mind never to go into
a factory again ; and she called upon every married woman with two children to do the same ,, in order to afford their husbands au opportunity of having employment . She believed the females would not be " nesh" in the matter ; and that they who loved their children and themselves would resist the -tbj * ate 8 M * batement , an 4 ih * doubted not that there were many married women ihfhe meeting who loved their families as well as she did hers . She trusted to the good sense of her sex , that they never would consent to weave a cut under a shilling . She had worked in a factory for thirty years , and had endured many hardships , and submitted to many inconveniences , for the sake of her family ; but she would lead the van ; and if there was a good shop , the men
should have it , or the masters may shot up . ( Hear . ) Since she entered into a factory , at eight years old , the condition of the factory slaves had gradually got worse and worse . The tyrants had taken away nearly all our earnings and our comforts . The beef was gone- ( laughter);—next went the butterdaughter ) ; -uutil nothing was left for their family except a bit of treacle . ( Hear . ) In 1829 , she stood by the turn-outs , living upon nottlea and coarse food ; but God forbid that any creature should slave as she had done , for thirty-two years , and be bated all the while ; and now the tyrants wanted to take awav the la * t pittance . ( Cries of "Hear , hear . " ) The women were the majority of the weavers , and if they would stick true to their cause , they wonld succeed . Women ! will you stand by the rights of the men for your owu benefit . (• ' We will . " ) Men ! will you stand by and protect the woman ! ( "Likeglae ;" laughter . ) She cautioned the women , that , if they submitted
to this reduction , the bastile was all that remained for either their husbands or their fathers . bhe worked with one woman whose husband had ions been out of employ ; and he , together with a tamilyof five children , had been sent to a bastile in Wales , where she had visited her family every three weeks with food , but was not allowed to speak to her own husband , nor had she spoken ten words to him while he was in the bastile , the children being in one place and the father in another . ( Shame . ) Let ino : hers consider the welfare of their children-they that had brought them in the world and had suffered for them , and had the proper feeling for them ; and lei them resolve to remain at home % o look to their neee .-ysitiee , and make room for men . We are wivesnot slaves ! ( Tremendous cheering . ) Mrs . Wrigley concluded an energetic address , by calling upon the meeting to support the sentiments of the motion . Mr . Chakles Langley , in a few appropriate observations ,
moved—That n is the opinion of this meeting , that a general appeal be made to the inhabitants of Stockport and the surrounding districts , on behalf of the weavers who are about to leave their employ rather than submit to the reduction . " ; On being seconded , Mr . Richard Pilling informed the meeting that , at half-past hvc o ' clock on Monday morning , a meeting of the weavers would take place near » be Old Social Institution , Green-street . i There i would be about 4 , 000 turn-outs there , and if they > would come , there should be no quartering , nor insults of taskmasters —( hear ); but they will be received as honest people wishing to defend your rights and your property , which is your labour . ( Hear . ) The resolutions all passed unanimously , a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated about ten o ' clock .

them that an extension , of the suffrage would follow for the benefit of the working people . But the Chartists , feeling the effect * of middle daas legislation , and remembering their faithless conduct during the Reform agitation , did not foel inclined to give the ¦ ¦ hired conspirator of the Cottorioctaey any credit for the " feeler . " The people wanted -Universal Suffrage before they would consent to deliver themselves into the hands of the Molochsof the 19 th century . A person named Sefton , a recreant in politics , one of the little men of the league—one of the jackala-followed in a long speech , in which he labouredbard to show that the Corn Law men were all Tories . Being reminded that Lord Melbourne was a Corn Law man , he bethought kimsdf ; and shifted his _ .... '¦_* ¦ ¦
position by stating that Melbourne was incapable of holding the reins of . Government for having said that Com Law Repealers were madmen . He was proceeding to hit Melbourne a litte harder ; but was plucked by the coat-lap by his master »_ and he accordingly dropped the argument as hastily as an Irjsh man would a hot potato . Having indulged in as much sedition against tbe landowners and persons of property as had served to incarcerate many a Chartist in gaol at the late assizes , almost because they preferred Universal Suffrage to a Repeal of the Corn Laws , he passed on to hint that all the evils under the tun with which the body politic or the domestic circle was afflicted radiated and sprung from the Tile Corn Law ; and , as a climax , actually argued that if there had
been no Corn Laws , there would have been no abatements by the cotton manufacturers . Parrot-like , he could only repeat what he had been taught ; for he glozes at the feet of those in power ; yet never alluded to the veritable monster , the destruction of which would guarantee health , wealth , and prosperity to a starving people . The tragedy concluded , John Katcliffe , made his appearance , not for the purpose of giving a song or a dance as an interlude , but to tell the meeting that he thought it almost useless to bring Mr . Paulton to Stbckport to prove a question so clear in itself . It was like introducing a torch to the glare of noon-day . ( How poetic !) The real question was , whether a child preferred a full belly or an empty one . And pray ,
John , what fool would not ? Truly , the speaker had taken care of his somewhere , for he Is as round as a barrel . Having proposed a vote of thanks to Mr . Paulton , tnis Ratcllffe , without the motion bfeng seconded , stepped forward , and , in the most hasty and indecent manner , actually put it and declared the pro'pos \ tton to be carried , without applying to the prerogative of the chairman . Mr . Paulton returned thanks ; and aikea if any person was willing to -discuss the question with him , when the Chartists , in a plurality of voices , answered , " there are plenty , if you will let them out' of Chester Castle ! " The lecturer contented himself by urging the working classes to join the agitation , as the repeal would raise the price of wages ' . ! Let the operative ponder over this deliberate
humbuggery , by asking himself whether he thinks tho manufacturers would raise wages , when bis only interest in the repeal of the Corn Laws is the profit upon which he calculated by paying less for the production of his goods . The meeting broke up about two o ' clock . The following evening ( Wednesday ) Mr . Paulton delivered Mb second lecture , involving the same principles as those discussed on Tuesday , and only bringing them to bear upon the commercial portion of the population , labouring to prevail upon the people to hail the repeal of the Com Laws as the grand and unqualified panacea for " all the ills that flesh is heir to . " There was a more insignificant muster than on the previous occasion . Had it not been for the Chartists , the meeting , as an argument in favour , of the repeals would have been absolutely contemptible . John Stamer and David Bagshaw , the David and Jonathan of the league , attended on this occasion , and excited the merriment of the Chartists as to the extraordinary nonsense they
talked , and the blunders of their quotations . Stamer's euldgy of Daniel OConnell set the place in an uproar ]; and one of the Universal Suffrage men having questioned O'Connell's political honesty , in a manly tone of argument , aroused the ire of the O'Connellite Chairman ( Doran ) , and ultimately , Stamer was obliged to retire into the benign company of Sef tun and Bagahaw . One important admission fell from the lecturer—that the Corn Laws could not be repealed with the present Suffrage , which brought up Mr . P . L . Fogg on the side of-the Charter , and he argued with great force the truth of the unfortunate admission of the hired lecturer . A discussion followed , but nothing particular resulted ; and the meeting broke up about eleven o ' clock , just as much edified and per uuaded of the superior advantage to be derived by a repeal of the Corn Laws , over the importance of the Charter as a primary question , as the man in the moon knows where the disinterestedness of the Cottonocracy lies .

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH , April 27 . ( From the Morning Advertiser . J ( Sittings in Banco . ) POSTPONEMENT OF JUDGMENT IN THE CASE OP MR . PEABCUS O ' CONNOR . THE 4 UEEN V . FBA&Gbs 6 ' cONIfOB . The Court was crowded at an early hour this morning , in consequence of its having been understood that Mr . Feargus O'Connor was to have been called up for judgment . It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mr . Feargus O'Connor was convicted at the last York Assizes , before Mr . Justice , Coleridge , of the publication of a seditious libel , contained in a report of one of his speeches in the Northern Star . At the sitting of the Ceurt , Mr . Feargus O'Connor , who looked exceedingly ill , appeared on the floor , and said that perhaps their Lordships would , as he
was now suffering from severe illness , and in the hands of bis physician , postpone judgment until this day week . He could not , at present , Bpeak without severe torture , as he was suffering from inflammation of the chest , aud , if necessary , he could shortly procure an affidavit of his physician to that effect . He was ready to go on if required ; but he knew ho could not now do that justice to himself whicn he felt he should be able to do if his application were granted . The Attorney-General was aware tnat he was uuder no recognizances to appear in Court to day , and that he need not have doue so , but might hav « sent dowu the affidavit of his physician , which be doubted not tneir Lordships would have thought sufficient . He trusted , under all the circumstances , the Court would grant the application . Mr . O'Connor waa proceeding with his argument , when he was nterrupted by
Lord Denman , who said you are showing cause against yourself by speaking at such length . The best way would be to read the affidavits and the notes of the trial now , and postpone any further proceedings to this day week ; and if Mr . O'Connor is not then able to speak for himself , he must
procure some . The Attorney-General acquiesced , and said he had been about to propose a similar course . Mr . Justice Coleridge then proceeded to read his notes of the trial , at the conclusion of which the Clerk of the Court read several affidavits on the part of the d efendaut . The first was a very long affidavit made by the defendant himself , in which he stated that he had beeu tor eighteen years a public man , and during the -whole period of his eareer had been an advocate of moral , ad contradistinguished from physical force ; that he had always endeavoured to expose the folly of any attempt on the part of the people to obtain a redress of wrongs by physical force ; and that , aa proprietor of the Northern Star ,, he had invariably
given orders to the sub-editor and other persons connected with that paper never to insert an article calculated to excite the people to abreach of the peace . The affidavit then proceeded to sen forth several extracts from tue leading articles of the NorthernStar , also from the speeches of the defendant delivered at various public meetings in support of the allegations . ' £ he next was an affidavit , from Joseph Cnilton , who stated that he was a reporter to the Northern Star newspaper , of which the defendant was proprietor—that the deponent had attended the meeting at which the defendant had delivered $ e speech which wad the subject of the present prosecution , but which speech he had not been able to report accurately , in consequence of the rapidity
with which she defendant had spoken on that occasion ; aud that consequently the deponent had been only enabled to furnish a condensed statement of the speech , the object of the defendant in the delivery of which seemed to the deponent to be , not a recommendation to the use of physical force , but a dissuasion from it . Another affidavit from a gentleman who was a professional short-hand writer , and who had been conuected with the Northern Star from 1837 to March , 1839 , stated that the deponent had frequently beeu iu the habit of attending public meetings with the defendant for the purpose of repotting his speeches , and that from the rapidity witu which thd defendant spoke it was impossible to
report him accurately ; that no two reports of the speeches of the defendant in different publications were ever precisely alike , and deponent gave it as his opinion , that in the present state of short-hand writing it was impossible to report verbatim such speeches as the defendant was in the habit of making . Several affidavits were also read from persons residing in different parts of the kingdom , all of whom bad been in the babit of hearing the defendant address public meetings , and who all testified that he had invariably dissuaded the people from the employment of physical force . The reading of the affidavits having been concluded , the further consideration of the case was postponed to this day week , and Mr . O ' Connor , having bowed to the Court , withdrew .

m ... MR . O'CONNOR . We have just received the following letter from our publisher , respecting Mr . O'Connor , who is now in London , and though merely intended as a private and ' personal communication , we give it insertion because we know that the anxiety of the people will be relieved by any news concerning him : — London , April 29 th , 1840 . My Dear Hill , —I have just returned from tbe bed-side of Mr . O'Connor , and am sorry to have to say that he is worse than he was yesterday . He was then too ill to write you—bo you will know the reason why you have no word from him to-day . :
The complaint he suffers from is an attack of rheumatism in the cheat , brought on by imprudently taking too violent exercise . The week before last he was at Hastings , and ventured upon the river in the cool of the evening , rowing for a couple of hours or more . Next morning he felt a soreness in the arms and muscles of the chest In the early part of his life he accustomed himself to taking very violent exercise—hunting , walking , wrestling , running , &c &o . ; but of late years , as you know , hia exercise has been mainly confinedtocoaeh and railway travelling , and speaking at public meetings . Of this description of exercise , no one in England or Ireland has had more . But the rowing on the river for a couple of hoars had more effect upon hia iron , muscular frame than travelling a thousand miles , and speaking twenty times , had before-times .
To mend the matter , last Friday evening he engaged in helping to water the garden . Becoming heated , he threw off his coat , and , having finished their work , he imprudently sat wjthout coat for more than an Bout , in the garden , amidst the dew . The next morning he felt the effects . His physician had to be called in , and he strongly recommended him to be cupped . To this . Mr . O'Connor would not consent , as he had to meet "Plain John" inthe Court of Queen ' s Bench on the Monday . On the Sunday he was worse , but still refused to submit to the cupping .
Onthe Monday he appeared in Court 1 was there also , and was sorry to see him look so ill . As you know , bis application to have judgment postponed' was granted , and he Is to appear either in person , or by counsel , on Monday next If he can manage to get 'there . ataU . I am ,- « are- " Plain" Johtr " . will see him . 'After the' proceedings in Court on Monday he returned home ; was cupped on . the side , and bled in tbe arm the same night ; and © n Tuesday had a blister applied to tbe chest As I said before , I have just returned from seeinc him ( Wednesday night ) .. He is worse to-day than he has been before , complaining of great pain arising both from the original complaint itself , and the remedies that have been applied . To-night the place where the blister has been raised is to be cauterised .
I confidently hope he will be so far recovered as to be able to give the Attorney-General his due on Monday . Yours , faithfully ' , JOS . HOBSON . To the Rev . William Hill , Editor , Northern Star Office , Leeds . From the above melancholy statement , we much fear that there is little chance of his doing anything-like justice to himself , or to the Whigs , on Monday . We shall be glad to find it otherwise , bat fear that we shall not .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , April 30 tt , Quarter to Seven , p . m . City and C © hmerciai , News . —Since the holidays there has been a decidedly better feeling as regards merchandise , and a general disposition is evinced to do a large amount of Dusiness , if the holders of goods would only give way a little in prices . The condition of the manufacturing districts being represented to be somewhat improved , and the continued excess of production over the means ( or , properly speaking , the opportunity ) of consumption , being in a great degree neutralised by the recent easy state of the moiiey market , it is believed that nothing can now prevent a speedy advance in prices . Throughout the week moueyhas been very abundant , and although the currency at this moment is below the average of former seasons , it is Baidto be excessive in comparison with the wants of the counjry ; Mie contraction of trade during many months fiaviog occasioned a
decrease m the demand for specie for commercial purposes . The rate of discount has ranged at about four per cent , for first class paper , but there seems every probability of a decline ,: unless a revival of trade should occasion a more , general demand for capital . On the Stock Exchange it bas been found difficult to employ money at all , and loans have been effected upon Exchequer Bills , at so low a rate as 2 i to 3 per . oeut . for short periods . The fluctuations in the -English market have been of no great importance , and-some inactivity has prevailed , though occasional improvements and . depressions have occurred . The following are the closing prices this afternoon : —Red . Three per Cen * .. 89 J ; Consols , Three per Cent ., 80 J ; New Three and-a-Half per Cent ., 99 |; Red . Three-and-a-HalF per Cent ., 98 § ; Bank Stock , 175 £ ; Long Annuiies , 3 i ; India Bonds , 5 ; Exchequer Bills , 22 ; Consols for Account , 914 .
The Board of Guaediaks of the Stepnny Union having for a very long period opposed , by every means in their power , the arbitrary regulations of the Poor Law Commissioners , the latter have determined to break up the Union forthwith . Will this hint be lost to other Uuioss \ Fatal Accident to the Earl op Wiltons Coachman . —Yesterday , aa two of the coachmen of the above Noble Lord were driving a break round Regent ' s Park , the horses became unmanageable , and shved into the fields of Chalk Farm , throwing both th » coachmen from their seats with such violence , that one , William Bristow , was killed on the spot , and tha other very dangerously injured .
A Meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the London Tavern , to adorn means for throwing open the bridges across the Thames , at Southwark , Waterloo , and Vauxhall , free of toll , to the public . The Lord May $ r took the chair ; and resolutions expressive of the acquisition such a step would afford to the health , safety , convenience , and commercial and social engagements of the inhabitants of Surrey and Midalesex , were unanimously adopted ; and measures were commenced to induce the various shareholders to sell their interests at a certain stipulated sum , to be raised by subscription ; the deficiency , if any , to be sought from Parliament .
Horrible Suicide . —An inquest was held on Thursday last , at the Pheasant , Broseley , on the body of Elizabeth Whittinguam . The deceased had been married three times , and had had several children . For three weeks she had been ill of typus fever . About five o ' clock on the evening of Tuesday , the 21 st ult ., she told her daughter , Mary Elizabeth Hill , an intelligent little girl , twelve years old , to put her brother to bed , which being done , the daughter was told to go to bed also . About seveu o ' clock she went to bed , and in ten minutes afterwards she heard some one in the room ; she called out" Mother , whatever are you doing , shall I come and help you ? " To which the deceased replied , " Mary , whatever brings you awake .
you wicked child V bhe also said , - ( io to sleep , you wicked child , you cause your mother to be wicked as well as you ; you'll jiever go to Heaven . " The child afterwards went to sleep , and about eight o ' clock felt her mother sticking a razor in her throat ; she cried Oh , mother , what have I done ? will you please to forgive me . " Decased replied " No , no , you shall die . " The child piucked away h . er . throat from tho razor , and the mother then attempted to strangle her with thesheet . Tbe poor girl broke from her and rushed into the street , the mother following her . The mother returned to her house , when she shortly afterwards cue her own throat so dreadfully as to cause death in a few hours afterwards . The deceased
had attempted to hang the daughter twelve months ago . The Jury returned a verdict of " insanity . " It was stated to the Jury , that the daughter was taken on the night in question to the workhouse , in Broseley , by Pugh , the constable ; with an order from the Overseer for her admission , but the person who carried her there was told she could not be admitted , as there were no beds . There are about a dozen lodging-rooms , and yet no accommodation can be afforded in any case of emergency arising in the parish , and unless the applicants are in a state to go to the Madeley Union Workhouse , a distance of about three miled , they must shift for themselves as they can .

Love and Suicide . —An inquest was held , on Friday last at the Hare Inn , Melford , before Harry Wayman , gentleman , coroner , on the body of Sophia Ambrose , who was that morning discovered by her mother , suspended from a linen post in the yard quite dead . It appears that a young man of the name of Mills , a carpenter , residing at Lavenham , bad for some time been paying his addresses to the girl , and that he was with tier till past nine o ' clock on the preceding evening . In his examination before the jury , he stated that nothing of an unpleasant nature bad passed between them , and that he
left her in a perfectly tranquil and quiet state of mind ; but he evinced no remorse or compunction at the melancholy event . The jury , after a few minutes' deliberation , returned a verdict of " Temporary Insanity . " But circumstances of a very suspicious character have since come to light , whicn will probably render it necessary to hold another . A clasp knife was found stack in the ground near the post on which the girl was found hanging , which belongs to Mills , and it is thought that this knife had been used to cut one end of the linen line from another post to which it was tied .

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET . ( BY EXPRESS . ) ; Friday , May 1 . —There is a fair arrival of Wheat this week , and several parcels of Foreign offennc to pay duty to-morrow : the trade is firm , and last week ' s prices are maintained , but no great extent of business done . Barley is in great supply , and all qualities are 2 s . per quarter lower , except grinding which realises as much money . Oats are scarce ^ and fully Is . per quarter dearer , and Shelling fetches up to 40 s . per load . Beans are the turn dearer . No alteration in other articles .
Leeds Corn Market , April 28 . —The arrivals of Wheat , Oats , and Beans , to this day ' s market are smaller than hist week ; Barley larger . Fine Wheat has been in fair demand , at last week ' s prices , bnt all secondary qualities continue in very limited demand . The demand for Barley bas been very limited , and Is . to 2 s . per quarter lower . Oats and Shelling have made rather more money . Beans little alteration . Lreds Cloth Markets . —From the tone of the last two market days ; we infer there is rather more business doing ; at all events , more goods have been sold , prices are firmer and money seems rather jnon plentiful . A wool merchant remarked , on Tuesday , that he had sold more wool than for some time , aud what he had sold he had got paid for . We sincerely hope that a gradual progression for the better will take place .
HuDDERSFiELD Cloth Market , April 28 . —Our market to-day in the Cloth Hall is in much the same state as last week ; a few purchases have been made in the light fancy trade for the summer ; in all other kind of goods very little business is doing ; 'the small manufacturers complain heavily at the prices offered , not being able to replace them even at the present lew rate of wages they are giving * Tie Wool market is looking up , but only few purchasers Rochdale Flannel and Wool Market , Monday , April 27 . —The market to-day has been of a similar character to all others for a long time . Little business has been done in- the Piece Mar ^ eL md mob and oila are not in the least improved . The turn-out weavers are still at a stand . Manufacturers are meeting to-night , in order to trj if something jcannM be done to bring about a reconciliation . The ntukftet of turn-outs is augmenting . ¦ . ' '"' ¦ ' '
London Wool Market , Monday . —The market still continues in a very inanimate state , without , however , any change of moment having taken place in the quotations . Several extensive purchases of colonial Wool have been concluded during the past week , at full prices , but in other kinds exceedingly little is doing . The imports have amounted to about 1 , 200 packages . State of Trade . —There was no material change in the market yesterday , though , perhaps , thedemand
was not quite equal to that of the preceding Tuesday , especially for power-loom printing cloths , which , in some few cases , we believe were sold a shade lower than last week . Stocks , both of goods and yarn , especially of the latter , continue extretoelj light , the demand taking off the entire production at steady prices ; and , though the business done is not very profitable , it is generally sound and healthy , and encourages an expectation of future improvement . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday .
York Corn Market , Saturday , April 25 . — During the past week the weather has been -warmer than we have had for some years atthis early period , and the consequence has been , that vegetation has proceeded rapidly , and the accounts of the growing corn are , almost without exception , of the' most flattering description . Wheat , if fresh . thrashed , a ready Bale , at about the rates of last week ; the same may be said of Oats . Of Barley and Beans but few samples offering , and the value is unaltered .
Hull Corn Market , Tuesday , April 28 . —The supply of Wheat by the farmers about keeps pace with the demand ; the transactions are chMy confined to millers and dealers for momentary use , and prices are unaltered . Uncertainty as to the quantity of Wheat expected from abroad , as well as the steps that may be taken to control the averages , checks all speculation . Of Beans , Oats , and Bar ter , the supplies are looking up , but not to alter t& currency . All other articles as before .
Malton Corn Market , April 25 .-Th « quantity of Wheat offering to this day ' s market is fair for the season . Of Barley moderate , and Oats . a scarce supply . Fine descriptions of Wheat aw very firm , and m some instances dearer . ' Barley is dull of sale , as . the malting season is nearly closed . Oats id to Id per stone dearer . , -Wheat , old , from 703 to « 2 s per quarter of 40 stones ; Wheat , new , from # s to 72 s per quarter of 40 stones . Barley from 32 s to 39 s per quarter of 32 stones . Oafs from 13 id to ISd per stone . /
_ Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , April 27 . — During the last seven days we have had a good supply of Oats from Ireland , brft light arrivals of other Gram , Flour and Oatmeal , from that country ^ coastwise . The imports from abroad comprfoe 14 , 060 quarters of Wheat , 4 , 850 quarters of Otto , 7 j 6 4 o , ? lSf ? *' ¦* $ Baarley » ^ ante * " * . * Pm and 30 , 400 barrels of Flour ; and duties have feffl paid on 6 , 115 quarters of Wheat , 5 , 260 quarters of Barley , 960 quarters of Beans , 410 quarters of Peas , and 8 , 700 barrels of Flour . The improvement nofed in the Wheat trade onTuesday last has been fallowed by less activity in the demand , owing , in » great degree , to the anticipated decline ' in the datT on Friday next , which has had the effect of keep ing back the millers and dealers andon the other ham .
, , has induced holders to accept rather lower priees for delivery on and after that day . —American Flour in bond has for the same reason been held wth more firmness ; there are no sellers under 27 s 64 ys barrel : the rates for duty paid are 373 6 dto 38 sMf at which there has been a moderate sale . KM mealing Oats are more sought after , and are raflitf dearer ; choice would fetch 3 s 10 Ad ; good sampfcl saleable at 3 s 9 d to 3 a 16 d per 45 la * . Oatmeal Ui also met more inquiry at previous rates . The hap supplies of Foreign Barley continue rather to depr « prices ; fine Rostock was yesterday sold at 35 s to 8 * per imperial quarter , and . good sweet Danzig W grinding at 4 s 4 d to 4 s 6 d 6 < Mbs .

The anti-Corn Law Conspirators . —One of the hired band of the Manchester anti-Corn Law League , named Paulton , visited the Court House , Stockport , on Tuesday evening , for the purpose of giving the first of two lectures on the subject of the present Corn Laws ; and at tbe same time to convince his hearers of the absolute necessity of repealing those obnoxious and impolitic laws , rather than applying to Parliament for tbe enactment of laws better calculated to enlarge the political privileges of the people of this kingdom , for such were the tendency of the arguments throughout the meeting . Mr . Alderman Doran , a ruddy , comfortable-looking peisonage . was called to the chair , and opened the business of the evening , in the presence of near two hundred individuals , including the members of the Stockport Branch of the anti-Gom Law Association , and the numerous Chartists who attended from curiosity , wondering at the extraordinary , coldblooded manner in which the various speakers endeavoured
to throw dust in the eye « of the working peo * ple ; while the conspirators—the cotton lords , gave another turn to the screw of oppression under which the nation is now suffering so largely and deeply . The lecturer delivered himself of one of those discourses which he has left behind him in other parts of the country , full of calculations , as well as fallacies , and attritmtirg , with the utmost tffrontery , the evils , the discontent , the misery , and the wickedness of the people , to other than thtir right causes . He continued to raiae imaginary ghosts , that be might lay them ; and entered upon a vivid description of the wretchedness , aud misery , and poverty , of the agricultural labourers , which , if true , was lamentable enough ; but if their condition be equal to that of the population employed in the manufacturing districts , God help them ! All this was brought about by nothing but the Corn Bill ; and if the working people would unite with the middle classes for the repeal of these laws , he promised
