TO TH 8 EDITOR OF THJS XOBTHBRK STAfi . Siu , —On readirg Daniel O'Connell ' s letter in the Star , addressed to Messrs . Warren " and Nightingale , it reminded me of his letter to the same purport , to the Chartists of Birmingham , "when he imagined there was a schism in the camp . He then stept in with the same sort of blarney as he bow puts forth in the abovementioned letter . Any of your readers who has got tho Ncrihem Star of the Sth of June , 1839 , ¦ will see his drift is the same , and his dishonesty as apparent . After that epistle he -was denounced in" every public meeting TO THB EWTOB OF TBLB XOBTHBRK 8 TAK .
as a . traitor and a scoundrel unworthy of the least confidence being pl-iced In him in future ; nay , tb . 9 many groans that were then uttered at his conduct ought to have tiught Km that the English and Scotch Chartists were no longer to ba duped by such traitors , and I trust that every honest Radical will continue to treat him with that contempt he so richly deserves . Does the be ^ gero'an imagine fer a moment that those brave men who are now in tha gloomy prison have lost our cor . fidence , or that our real , tried friend , Feargus , was about to share a similar fate , we should desert them and
enlist under his false , bloody banner , and add another 500 , 000 fighting men to his army ? No , never ! Perish ^ t man -who would be seen in the ranks of the betrayer of tu % poor factory children . He is aware he is sinking in pubn » estimation , and bis . co ' . lf agues , " the base , brutal , ana bloody Whigs , " are about to go to the bottom with him ; axd now the miscreant would cling to any hold in order to keep his head above water , but he must never fasten his clavrs on the -working men of England and Scotland . His sun is about to set no more to rise . What ! gull us -with Trienial Parliaments and Practical Suffrage ? We have had enough of his undefined suffrage . Why such shuffling ? An hoaest man would speak out and give us a proper definition of his meaning , and not leave it in a vague ; amibifeuons manner , to be
twisted and turned to suit any base purpose ' , and for this fellow to talk of the " physical-force men frilicg into the meshw of the law , and many who took thtir council now mourn their folly of having taken that advive . " He goes on to say , ?• the misconduct of these men have interfered with rational rofonu ; they Lave frightened the timid ; u .-. j bava terrified the wealthy ; they have disgusted and alienated the vrige a ^ d the good , and they have n- : jW ruined the cauie they professed to advocate . " Is then a man iiving bit O'ConneU -who could have tii ^ uj ^ udence tojHjjbdi * liyio ' % a ^ ttob-thfifoliyof thc iptr- ife ^ J « rc « -Chara 48 \ afjjk the expressions made use of by him aad hla cl *| ut , when thirsting for power ? Has he forgot the fcWodr axe , -the church by burning the bishops , or tbe ' nofcles in
by burning the p ^ ers effigy , or has he forgot ^ . ia speech at Droj ^ eds oiuner ? " Though I am old , my ana is not yet too withered to wieH n sword in defence of Ireland's rights , and so help me God 1 would ra ' . her see her green fields crimsoned with gore , and htr streams runninc hk > od , thau see hermiserie 3 ' continued " Quotations might !> e endless , bm as the Latrytr said to Mr . K . Oostler , " They were successful . "—( thsru ' . s the rub— " that nuik-23 all the difference . ") Had O'Conneli > M > en an honest man , the slave-class in Eng'and would now have bet-n fi ee . Did he not do all in his poorer to sv : p the mouths of our delegates when in Ireland ¦ wishing to explain the Charter and the motives of the English Radicals ? Did he not blind them by telling them wo were their enemies ? Can the traitorous
riilain forget all this ? I -will just remind him of his own words , in a speech at Cork . " The English working class never will join you ; they are an over-fed , selfish , savage race , opposed or indifferent to every ihing Irish " : Now he lurns his hypocritical face round to us and tell 3 us we are " divided into two classes , the one a master-class , the other a slave-class , having no votes and nothing to do with the laws but to obey them , at the penalty of fine , forfeiture , imprisonment or <; eath . " Was not this all known to us before ? Was it not to explain these things our brave Lowry and others visited Ireland to ask thtir co-operation to assist us in removing these rvils peaceably and onlcriy ? But the paid agitator thwarted their efforts , acd would have persuaded the -working men of Ireland to take up arms against us rather than assist us . Vorumes ma ; ht be ¦ written of the baseness of this traitor , and I am afraid
I have trespassed too much on your columns already ; suffice it to ssy , those who wish io add to tha sufftsrhigs of our unfortunate brethren in prison ; those -who would iocreasu the horrors of a gloomy dungeon tenfold , join the tr . iiior ^ s ranks ; then farewell LIBEliTT , a long farewell : Then the warDiDjrs of our faithful , pers ^ reriiig friend , Feargus O'Connor , ( who perhaps at the time I -write shares iiio --ame fate ) - * vi ; l flash like aa e ' ectric shock across your minds and call to your reinciiibrancc your l * ase apostacy ; bnt no honest Chartist . I am conv . nced , would willingly add one more pacg to the snffciLngs of our incarcerated brethren . If you think inserting the above will prevent one -wvak bruther from falling into the enemy ' s snare , you will much oblige , yours respectfully , Edward Swi ^ glehvrst . Kenda ' 5 th May , 1 S 40 .

Thb Radicals and the Coax Law Refkalxbs . —Extract of a letter from Manchester dated Wednesday evening : — " I have just returned from the adjenrned meeting of the D e puties from the Operative Anti-Corn L » w Association , and the Radical Associations of Manchester and Salford . as noticed in the Northern Star of last week . The Radical party were at their posts at the appointed tine , bat the Corn Law Repealers did not make their appearance ; no doubt that they had sufficient proof that the Radicals are not to be gulled by any such claptrap questions as those which they have offered . They offer to join in an agitation for Honsehold Snffrage , Triennial Parliaments , Vote by Ballot , and a redistribution of seats . They pretend to say that a large influential portion of the Anti-CotnLaw League are prepared to commence a powerful agita-THB RADICALS AKD TOE COBIf Law RbfkALXB 8 .
tion on those questions , and that they would be able to carry them without assistance . Let them try ; they have failed in linking the people to the Atiti-Corn Law humbug car , and we feel confident that they will fail in this'new will-o' -th' -wisp . They appear to us to wish to accomplish that by ounning which they have failed to do by argument ; for , they said they would go with us and demand Universal Suffrage , if we would pledge ourselves to be content with Honsehold Suffrage ! Englishmen , does not this speak volumes ! It is quite evident that no union can be formed between us . It was then resolved that we , the deputies , recommend the people to watch the proceeninga of the Anti -Corn Law League , that they may not be led into any clap-trap measures , but to stick to the Charter , the whole Charter , and no surrender .

MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL . THE INQUEST . ( From the Morning Herald . ) The Jury assembled at six o ' clock this evening at ilio Cky of Norwich Arms , Norfolk-street , within a fo w doors cf the residence of the . lamented nobleman . Jflra room was densely crowded witk pppsoas who and sympathy thrbughoBt the m < 4 r * p > B ^ Apo those present wo observed the Hon . FdlfeMfeild"J £ |> E . J . Stanley , of the Treasury , Mr . ^ tfteRj * en French , M . P ., and a solicitor , whose name wo dfdnot loarn , but who stated that he attended on behalf oi th ^ rehtives of the deceased . Mr . Higgs , the deputy-coroner for Westminster , having taken his seat , tne Jury were immediatelv -woru , the foreman being the Right Hon . G . R . Daw-sou . The Coroner and Jury then proceeded iv \ idw the body , and on their return the following witnesses wore tworn and examimd : —
Henry Elsgood , surgeon , corner of Park-street and Brook-street—I never attended the deceased professionally . I was sent fov at half-past seven this morning , and saw tha body in a bed wuhadoth over the face . He was lying on hia back . He was iu hU night-dress , and was lying partially inclined to the right side . He appeared to have been dead three or four hours . The body was perfectly cold ; it was covered up with the bed-clotne 3 . I examined the body , and found a wound extending from the shoulder on the left side round to the trachea . It was about seven inches in length , and about four or five inches deep near the shoulder , dividiug the vesstls and the trachea . The wound must have caused immediate death . It appeared to have beea
inflicted by a knife , or some very sharp instrument . There was no wound on any other part of the body . I think it impossible that the wound could have been inflicted by tho deceased himself . The napkin which 1 saw over the face could not have been placed there by himself . Sarah Mancel—I was housemaid to the late Lord W . Russell , and got up this morning about half-past six . I do not generally get up so soon . I went down stairs about a quarter before seven . I went first into the back drawing-room , and there I 8 iW his Lordship ' s papers , and his writing-desk broken open . Hia glass and other articles were lying on tke carpet and hearth-rug . Then I went down stairs , and 6 &w etveral things behind the frout-door . They were his Lordship ' s cioak , his opera glass , the
cook , s silver thimble , they had taken out of a workbox in tho kitchen , and several Btnall silver things tied up in a cloth . I don ' t know the name of ail the things , but there was his peuoil-case , aud tooth pick . Th ^ n I opened the front dining-room door , and there I saw all the knives , several silver caudleflicks , and other silver things , and the drawers open . They were not broken , bnt pulled open . These things were on the floor . I immediately went up stairs to my fellow-servant , the cook . She was in bed . She slept in the same room with me' in the front attic . That room is over Lord William ' s room , i asked the cook if she bad heard anythiug , and she said she had not . I generally wake about the same hour , but I do not always require to get up so soon . 1 told her all the silver was about . She said go to the man ; meaniDg the valet . There were three servants sleeping in the house , the cook the valet , and myself . There wereno other persons exce rthisUrdship
sleeping m the house . Tho valet ' s name is Francis ; he is a Swiss . I called the valet , and found him in hia own room , which was noxt our ' s , dressed except his coat . I asked him what ho was tloing to the silver , that it was all about , and he said he had been doing nothing to it . We then went down to the pantry , and found all tha drawers open . He sa ; d some one has bsen robbiug us . He went up thv staircase again , when I said , for God ' s sake go and see where his lordship ia . He went and opened the shutters , and I went after him , and there I saw his Lordship lying on tho bed , dead . Weoasily got into hia Lordship ' s bea-room , because ho never locked the door . When I saw his Lordship murdered and 'his ' throat cut , 1 ran out of the room and told my felhw servants that toino oue had murdered his Lordship . When I came dowu Btaira , I went out , over the way , to No . 23 , rang the bell , and fetched the bailor to assist us . Ha came over , and then wont out for a policeman .
Mr . Bereeford , inspector of the C division , examined . 1 wont this morning to the house of Lord William Russell . Thi 3 was shortly afttr eight oVloek . I went up stairs into tho room where the ix dy was l y ing . I went particularly to thB back of the house , but could not trace tho marks of any person having obtained an entranoe that way . 1 then went up flairs , and took a list from the valet of the ai tides stolen . The dressing-case up stairs was broken open , and nothing gone . The list of articles ia— two plain gold rings ; one ditto , set with turquoise ; oue gold repeating watch , with three gold . « eals—ono of ttone ; with the Russell arms on . Af . erwards , he told me there were three pins ; but hu could not give me any description of them ; but
that they were stones , and one was a blue stone . This was all there wa 3 missing at that time . Then from his own pantry the articles of plate used at at dinner tho night before were gone—five table spoons , three dessert ditto , fonr silver forks , and two teaspoons . I searched all the three servants ' boxes , and found in the valet's box a middling-sized chisel . i fitted it to the uwka in his own pantry , and it had every appearance of fitting oxaotly . The chisel goes into the marks exactly . By a Juror—Were not those drawers under his care . —They were . Then what necessity was there for using a chisel to force them open ?—There might be various reasons why they would not be opened with the key in the ordinary way . Although the drawers were opened ,
the locks were still shot . I have examined the back door where the marks of violence appeared , and 1 am quite certain that these marks of violence were not the means by which the door had been opened . There were marks of a blunt instrument , but some of these were in the inside , evidently after the door had been opened . The marks have been recently made . I infer that the marks were , made after the dQormm opened , htpwpp rflpw , of , tha marks .-were poshed out from the inside ; aad whert-lfie % ffiaf are on the door-posts , there are no corresponding marks on the do « r where it touches the post , I c annot come to any other conclusion than that , the marks wera made when the door was" opeQi The socket of the top bolt was forced off . Tho bottom bolt is so much decayed and rusted , that i do not
think it w&s fastened at all . The socket of the top bolt was lying on the floor with two nails . I examined tho holt , and some instrument appears to have been put in to force it off . The instrument was black for it left a mark on the door . In my opinion the socket of the bolt was forced off when the door was open . Mr . Pearce and myself searched for any instrument which might have made these marks , and we found the pantry poker actually beat and recently broken . The marks where the socket of the bolt was broken oif were marked with black . In fitting the marks , where the point of the poker was offered , it certainly fitted the marks on the door and the post . I believe Mr . Pearce , the inspector , has got charge of the chisel . There are other xnratches on thepoker , as if it had been used in some violent effort .
Mr . Pearson , the inspector of the A division , corroborated the evidence of the last witness . Mary HannelJ . —I was cook to the deceased . There was a silver thimble of mine taken out of the w 6 rk-box in the kitchen . I left it in the work-box last night in the kitchen . It was found this morning tied up in a dinner napkin , at the front door , with other things . I slept all night without waking . There was Lothing of value in my box . I went to "bed from ten to half-past , a little after the other maid , leaving up the valet and his Lordship . I did not hear either of them go to bed . I heard nothing in the night . I went out a little before nine last evening , and returned a litUe before ten . A young mail , a friend of the valet ' s , was at tea in the house last evening . The valet let me in . I do not know the young man . The valet has lived with his Lordship five weeks . He fastened the front door . Francis Benjamin Curvoisia , his Lordship ' s valet , was thon introduced kito the inquest room . He is a young man apparently of between 25 and * 2 fl yean

of age ; his figure ia rather slight , and the expression of his countenance rather downcast , but his appearance by no means betokens any thing like ferocity ; his complexion ia dark , and the expression of his features on the whole pleasing than otherwise .

His Lordabip dined at home , and stayed at home all the evening . The servants went to bed between ten and eleven . I fastened the door after the cook came in . I did not ! unfasten the doer afterwards , or go out . The housemaid went to bed first , and the cook went afterwards . About ten minutes before twelve Lord William rung his bell to undress . I went up to his bed-room and helped to undress him as usual . I saw nothing unusual in his manner—he was the same as usual . I came down stairs again , waiting to hear him ring his bell to have his bed warmed . He generally washed after
he undressed , and then he had his bed warmed . When Lord William rung his bell again , it was about a quarter past twelve Lord William generally used to . have a rushlight with him all night in his room , and I got it ready . He asked tor his candleBtick and a book , and I left him a lighted candle . Shortly afterwards I went to bed , and heard nothing during the night , until the housemaid came in the morning , and knocked at the door . I began to dress then , and about fire minutes afterwards , when I . was putting on my waistcoat , the housemaid knocked at the door again , and asked what was tho matter with Lord William last night . I said nothing more than usual . She said everything was upset in the dining-room , and the pJate
g was all about the room . When i came down and * a % w ^ 4 ^ J ^ jnj ^ % m jn that slate ,. I went $££ tbi pantry and found the plate gone fr < wn there . I ? Q $ d a friend visited me at three o ' clock , ! : cannot ; . say exactly where he lives , but I believe ii is somewhere in Soutli-street . His name is Henry . Car ?/ and when I lived with MrvFeotor he was coachman there . We lived together at Mr . Fector ' a about nvo years . He came to see me between threo anu fivo o ' clock . He took tea , and went away shortly after six o ' clock . I wont with him as far as the stables . I do not know exactly where he lives , but
" : t is somewhere , I believe , in Sooth-street . I think he is to be found at the Royal Exchange , Adam ' s iMetvs . 1 went iuto the room this morning , and saw the body of Lord William . It had a cJotb . over the head , and there was a cut from the throat to tho shoulders . I am sure I did not go out last night , and the doors were bolted when I went to bed . I believe the police-officers searched my boxes . I was present during tho Search . They found a chisel in one box , and some money in the other . I have had the chisel about four years , t use it in cutting wood , as I am fond of making things .
Coroner—It is my duty to caution you as to what you say . Witness—I have always had charge of the plate . Juryman—Did you go last night to fetch the cook some beer i Witness—I did not . I forget ; I did go and fetch her somo beer . I locked the front door after she came in . Did you go out at the front door to fetch the beer!—Yes . Oh no , I did not , I wont out at the area door ; I recollect now . I bolted and locked the area door after I came in , aud put the key in the kitchen . I recollect nothing more . His Lordship did not keep much money in the house . Ho had a £ 10 and a £ 5 note a few dayB ago . I have not seen them these throe days . I do not think he keDt much
money in the house . I have lived with him about five weeks . The £ 5 note found in my box I received more thau a week aiuce from his Lordship . I gave him change for it four sovereigns , and the rest shillings . I did not write on the back of it . I can write . The property missing consists of three or four gold pins , a gold watch . nvetablospoons . fourlargeforks , twosmall tea-spoons ' , and a salt-spoon . Carr has been about three mouths out of a situation . He was not reduced in circumstances . Before that he had a place at Mrs . Grcon ' s for four months . I left my place tho day before I came to Lord William Russell ' s . The witness was thon asked to sign his name to the depositions , and if he had any objection to write that of Lord Canterbury . He immediately wrote it , having inquired how it was spelt . [ We understand the note found in the valet ' s purse had his Lordship ' s name indorsed . ]
The CoRoxER said , he thought it fair to state to the J ury , that he had that day seen Mr . Fector , the witness ' s late master , with whom he had lived three years , and who gave him an excellent character . The Coroner then inquired whether it was the wish of the Jury that the proceedings should be adjourned , or whether they had made up their minds to return a verdict then ! Mr . Dawson , the foreman , said he did not see the least occasion for adjournment . He for one was prepared to say that the deceased had beeu murdered ; but an there was no evidence aa to who the person or persons were , the verdict must be that he was murdered by some perron or persons
unknown . It would be keeping alive a vast deal of excitement in the public mind by adjourning from day to day , whilst it would deprive the family of the deceased of the satisfaction which a verdict would give them . If there was any doubc upon his mind that the deceased had not been murdered , ho should have no objection to ¦ ielay ; but returning a verdict now would not frustrate the ends of justice , whereas adiourning would be only casting suspicion upon individuals , when the matter might be moro properly left in the hands of the police for investigation . He hoped that the perpetrators of tho horrid ueed would be ultimately discovered , but he for one was prepared to record that verdict .
The other Jurors expressed themselves of the same opinion , and a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown" was then recorded . Tue proceedings did not terminate until past ten o ' clock .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . .. ; -,. Thunioy Evening ,. Miy , Uh \ - , . Quarter ttrSepkn tp . m ^ r 7 . A veryfull meeting of the Metropolitan Charter Association took place at eight oJpteck last evening , at Johnson ' s spacious LoctuwJjurbom , Clerkein * eH , when the report of the provisional o » mprr # tee was received ; and nominations were takettfor a t&asprer , secretary , aatf ' twenty-five oouacilmes ; to be elected by Ballot on Wednesday evening next . The meeting waa addressed in a most eloquent spttefh by-Mr . Macconnell , and others ; a full report j ^ frhioh will iu ail probability appear in our next peers ' paper , City and Commskciai News . —T ^ e intelligence from China ptouuoed a favourable effect on the Tea trade , and , both yesterday and to-day , prices have materially advanted . There was , however , a slight
reaction this afternoon at the cloBe of business on 'Change . Much additional capital has been brought into employment by the late high vaiue of nioney ; and now the same quantity of circulation will go further than it did , through the great facilities of railways , and other means , as compared with corresponding periods of former years * Still , however , the partial stagnation of trade continues , and most of the Foreign Exchanges go against us ; thereby exposing the Bank of . England to a continued drain of specie . —Consols , both for money and account , left off at 914 ; Exchequer Bills 26 s . premium . The Foreign Market has remained almost totally inactive . Inconsequence of the Revenue suffering so severely from tho non-consumption of Whiskey in lrolonu , the Government have determined to allow its introduction into England free of duty .
A statement of the expenses of the Royal Marriage has been prepared , and will shortly be laid before Parliament ; they amount to no less than £ 10 , 000 ; one item is £ 1 , 700 , for bringing the Prince to this country . It is worthy of note that out of the £ 39 , 000 a-year , voted by Parliament , the only charitable contribution which the Prince has yet been known to perpetrate , is a donation of £ 10 to the Mendicity Association . His Royal Highness has just been appointed Colonel of the 11 th dra , 00 ns . being an increase of about £ 1 , 600 per annum to his income .

KEISHLEY . Anti-Corn Law Lkctubr . —On Monday last , the walls of this town were placarded with bills announcing the intention of a Mr . Hargreaves , a Corn-Law Repealer , to deliver a Lecture , to the inhabitants , on the injurious effects of those laws , in the Mechanics' Institution , on the following evening ( Tuesday ) . A considerable number of people , accordingly , attended at eijiht o ' clock , the time appointed ; when , after waiting some time before thebuilding , without any lecturer making bis appearance , the / were informed that the use of the place could not be granted , as the rules of the Institution prohibited any discourses of a public nature ; and that tha Lecture wouldin consequencebe given in
, , the Working Men ' s Hall . This new arrangement had . doubtless , the effect of preventing a good few of the manufacturers from attending , in consequence of the Radical character of the place ; buc , by the time the Lecturer made his appearance , the HaU was very well filled by the labouring class , and a sprinkling of shopkeepers , and others , whose attachment to the repeal question made them brave the danger of mixing in a meeting composed principally of Chartists . The Lecturer , who was a working man , about twenty-nine years of age , introduced his subject by giving a plain and unvarnished account oi himself , amongst other things , informing the audience that he came from Bacup , in Lancashire , a place about one hundred years behind any other in
point of civilization . That he was , strictly speaking , ¦ . . jpHrfmin in 111 . 1111 iiiL never received soy education , hut that afforded by a Sutoda ^ School , and thaf , consequently , they could expect nothing from himdjj # rving tho appellation of eloquence or oratory . After convincing them , by these observations , delivered in a kind of Lancashire dialect way , that he so far appeared 4 o be speaking truth , he commenced by giving an account of the origin of Corn Laws , their progress and alterations , till he came down to the one at present in existence , which he considered the worst that the ingenuity of man could devise . To prove this , he entered into ja lengthy detail of its effects upon home and foreign trade , and ran through the principal part of the
arguments used by the repealers , which , when collected into one bundle , established the appalling fact that every evil which affliot the human race may bo traced totheselaws . The concluding part of his lecture was chiefly occupied with an invitation to people of all ranks and grades to form themselves immediately into anti-Corn Law Societies , and commence inundating Parliament with petitions , which he had no doubt would , in the course of a few years , procure the entire abolition of the law . After he had concluded his lecture , which lasted about two hours , Mr . Thomas Knowles wished to know if he had any objection to answer a few questions , or hold a sho . rt discussion , as he unfortunately happened to differ from him on some very important points . On
expressing his readiness to answer any question , Mr . Knowles descended from the gallery on to the platform , by the side of the speaker , and addressed the meeting at considerable length , proving by plain sense and sound argument , that all agitation for anything short of the suffrage , would prove useless to the labouring class , as the represented only would enjoy the benefit . He compared the present representation to a tree producing a great number of offensive branches , and that , while the repealers were attempting to cut off one , two might spring up in its place . His maxim was , to strike at the root of the ovil at once , by giving the people their rights ; and he considered all efforts to obtain anything else a mere waste of time and money . That extreme
sympathy for the poor , which was so often ou the lips of the Corn-Law gentry , appeared , to him , to be of a rather doubtful character , as ho had alway 3 remarked that , amidst all their speeches and proceedings , they never once manifested the least pity for the brave men who were suffering in the people ' s cause . The Government might imprison , banish , or hang all the Chartists in the Kingdom , and , he was confident , that the repealers would never once find fault with them for doing eo . For his part , he had no bad feelings towards the Lecturer ; but , as he always wished to see fair play to all , he invited him to take the sense of the meeting , by moving a resolution hi favour of repeal , while lie would propose an amendment in favour of the Suffrage . The lecturer , who had sat
during the short address like a person deprived of sense and motion , sprang op wicB apparent affright at tho proposal ,-and before any of the audieuce were aware , was convoying his person towards the door at a rapid rate , amidst the Bhouts and invitations of his hearers , to give the thing a fair trial . A small number ef the repealers followed his example , muttering , as they went out , some kind of incoherent stuff about Chartists and levellers " . Mr . Joseph Firthaftcrwards madoafew observations ' to the meeting , informing them that as far as he could see into the designs of the repealers , it was an attempt to increase the amount of labour , and , i ; accomplished , would , perhaps , have the effect of giving us more labour , whether it would have the effect of giving us higher wages or not . He was given to understand that , with the present length of labour in factories , disorders amongst young women were becoming quite' prevalent in
consequence : swelled logs , distorted limbs , and infirmities of all descriptions , were threatening the females of this country , through their present lengthy and disagreeable employment ; but if the prospects of the Corn Law gentry wore realised , he was at a Io 3 s to know how people were to get through tho work , or where the necessary supply of children and females were to come from . After several observations , made by different individuals , the following resolution was pat to the meeting , and carried almost unanimously : — " That in the opinion of this meeting , the Corn Law is a great evil , and ought to be repealed ; but being only one bad law amongst hundreds which clas 3 legislation has imposed upon the people , we decline having anything to do with it for the present . We , however , pledge ourselves , that when Universal Suffrage has become the law of the land , we will agitate for a total repeal of that law , and all others which press upon industry . " ¦
