XATZONAL DELEGATE MEETING AT JKAKCHESTER , ( Continued from our first page . ) THURSDAY , Jn . Y 23 . Mr . Smart was called to the chair ai nine o ' clock . COHEBSFONDENCE . A letter from Ne-wcastle-npon-Tyne , Stating that Lowry had been appointed delegate for that important town , at a public meeting , but that he was taken ill just previoas to the time of bis departure and could not , in consequence , proofed to Manchester ; and that there was not time to call a meeting to appoint another person . PLAS FO » CARRYING OCX THS CHARTER .
The 16 th clause , providing salaries for the General Secretary and the Executive Council , was tueu read from the chair , Mr . Spcr * moved that the delegates should go into committee . It was impossible to discuss th « clauses properly , unless they were allowed to speak more thaa once . Mr . Buck seconded the wjtion . Mr . Hassok supported tfee motion . Mr . Williams oppose * the motion . If it was adopted instead of a fal discussion from all the members , the time of tke meeting would be occ * pifcd bv the desultory eemersation of a few . Mr . ~ Ai . TOJi supported . Hr . "Williams in resktwg the nation .
Mr . Spcrb replied ekat they were very irregwkr yesterday , in consefwsnce of not going tsto committee , and the delegates from SundieTlwid , who had supported the Rile for speaking once , ws « the first to break it . On a dmsion , tbe -motion of Mr . Sparr was « egatived , and the consideration of the 16 th clarae was prooaeded with . Mr . Black thought the Executive sheuM ^ act as missionaries , as all their time would e « 4 be occupied ; they woufcd be marked men , asd BM > st likely lose their empl « yment . Mr . Thomas ** asked if the Execotwe Council = acted as missionaries , whether their salaries , while acUDg as such , would be paid from * he general Guilds »
The Chaim » lk said , the collectMHas imade by . missionaries , would , in such cases , denbtless be handed over to the general fund . Mr . Thomasoh asked whether be w * s to understand that they woold be paid freia the general "fund ! The Chaisblas said that had not been decided . Mr . Black thought it would be necessary to detide whether the Executive should act as missionaries ; and that before their salaries were fixed , it should be tnown what their duties were . Mr . Wicltaks said the only ^ oeetion now was , what they should receive while sit * kj £ as an Executive , wiiich might occupy tbem a week in a month .
Messrs . - Spurr , Hatfikld , and fttasds thought the Executive should receive -Sda . a-week while engaged in the people's business . The salary of the Executive Council was fixed at 503 . per "week while occupied , and that of the General Secretary at £ 2 per week . Mr . "Williams said he had aowreported that part of ihe plan relating to the organisation of the association ,-and he , therefore , thought this would be a jrroper time to take into consideration the suggestions thrown out respecting any losaee the executive might sustain by taking on them ithe-office , by employing them as missionaries or otherwise . He , therefore , moved : —
?' That this meeting ackaewledge the right of those wko may be elected members of ithe Executive Council to be compensated for less consequent upon their acceptance of office , either by . employing them As missionaries during the recess , which may occur during their sitting , or in sock other way as may be foundroost convenient and sefol-for the association- ; this geestion to be determined at meetings of delegates from the divisions to be held ia-each county or riding . In event of their being employed as missionaries , their salary shall be the same as members of the Exeentire ConacH , bet the coaeh hire , and OQe-half of the other incidental travelling expenses hallbe paid by the parties who may require their sernees ; or in the event of feeing appointed to open aew districts , the same proportion of-expences shall be allowed to them .
Mr . Spcrb . thought the motion would be very likely ^ to open a door to abmse . He could not agree ioit . - Mr . PHTLPwas of Mr . Spear ' s opinion , and moved iherfollowmg amendment : — 41 That the members of tie executive . council be « nployed , when not otherwise engaged , be employed when the Coindl is not sitting , in makiEg circuits and lecturing . Their travelling expenses to be paid ;" Mr . Morgan seconded the amendment . _ Mr . Williams thought the amendment placed themjnoreat the mercy of ibe executive loan the original motion . Mr &BITRJI mored the following amendment . He did doi think that the delegates could enxesu ^ n the ^ aaaaon of compensation : —
" Hhat the first Executive Council shall continue is office for six months only , subject to resolution , beeaployed as Missionaries , their labours to be laid Ofit -os those p laces where mast required , and all travelling and contingent expeases to De allowed , in addition to their regular salaries . " Tke Chairman asked whetker there was any * eeonder to Mr . Spnrr ' s motion . Me Hasso . n said that he Bhoaid second it oil of courtesy to the London delegate . Mr . Ab&as said he thought the extraordinary expenses paid to Missionaries ought to be fixed . Ke would pay them £ 2 10 s . a week , otherwise they might amount to several pounds a week .
Mr . Black said that he thought the different localities would have no objection to pay the expenees of Missionaries when they required them ; and they might be paid out of the general fond when * eni by the Executive . The original motion was carried . Mr . Williams moved the following resolution : — That the executive council shall continue in office for the period « f six months , at the end of which period a meeting of delegates from each county or ndiaj shall be held at the Beat of government to receive the report of the said executive council , when a new executive council shall be elected . " Mr . Altos seconded the motion .
Mr . Haksos said that if they had confidence in an Executive they ought to be allowed to Bend forth their reports without a meeting being called . He thought , too , if tbe Executive was appointed for three months , it would be better than six , Mr . Hobga *? moved an amendment : — " That the Executive Council be elected for twelve months , and be subjected to re-election by the Divisional Councils . The election of the Executive to take place on the 1 st day of January every year . "
Mr . Spubb thought the period of six months preferable to twelve , and should therefore vote for the notion . Mr . Williams rose to reply . The first of January , 1841 , had been named in the amendment as the day for appointing the Executive Council , under the idea that lime should be afforded to carry out the plan By the original plan of the Committee , however , a Provisional Executive were to be appointed , who would not call the General Executive into being
prematurely . Mr . Psilp said that a term for the sitting of the executive body had been named , but no term for the ¦ King of tbe Aiviaonai councils had been appointed . He thought steps ought to be taken to remedy tbe oversight . Mr . Morgas said if a time was not fixed for the election of the Divisional Councils , their elections B< clash with the election of the executive . He * Wld snggest that the Divisional Councils should be « ected in February . He then proposed a motion to Mr . Ax&a * seconded the motion .
Mr . Philp thought ii had better be in November w August . * ¦ Aesak said that a day should be appointed for tne nomination of the Divisional Councils , and Mother for their appointment by the executive . \ Jr * ' WlLLLt * s would suggest it should be on the «» of January . They might nominate the Divi-5 *! Councils , and elect the General Executive , in » e same day . * ir . Hassou thought the period of a year much wo long for the Divisional Councils to atHe thought
. *" <* months quite long enough . Mr . Leech said it was no use fixing a time for the J ^ bon of the Councils . The peopl e would have vT ^ Lon ^ ° e conimittee who were active men .

means of spreading poUtical knowlege would now come before them . The eighteenth clause was then read from the Onair . It recommended the appointment of missionaries , the publication of tracts , and the power of the press , as a means of advancing the cause . It also recommended the following papers :-5 / or , yoerotor , ManshesUr Advertiser , Scottish Patriot , l rue Acoktna * , Statesman ; and the following cheap pubhcniou ^ -Trumpet of Wales , Advocate and MeHhjfr Fr ^ / W Charm Orcnfar , Cleaved Gazette , and The Oddfellow . Mr . Morgan said he thought that the mode of diffusing knowledge ought rather to be left to the treneral Executive , than decided upon by the present delegate meeting . After a pause ,
Mr . Philp B \ id , if there were no motion before the meeting , he would suggest that each delegate , wnm he went home , should agitate his district , and deeverything in his power to cause the people to adopt the p lan now decided upon immediately ; otherwise , if they contented themselves with merely laying their plan befor * them , it might , like the ether plans which had appeared in the Star , be aeglected , and all fall U the ground . j Mr . Lkach expressed his entire concurrence with i what had fallen from tfee Wiltshire delegate , asd he i would advise him to embody what he nad said on this subject in a resolution . In the meaatimehe would
recommend the adoption of the « Unsc . There was one paper in the list which did not advocate the Charier , Damely , the Manche&er and balford Advertiser . Still it powerfully opposed the j misdoings of the Whigs , and opposed the Centralisa-: tion and Poor Law schemes , and therefore he should vote for its being allowed to stand . i Mr . Spcxk moved that the Slatesmwn should be i omitted . As tke paper was opposed to the Chartist i body , he could not consent to recommend it to the | people . Ti * e Statesman opposed tbe Chartists i with respect to the Corn Lsw movement . For I himself , he weuld only recommend the Star and the I Liberator .
Mr . Amah likewise opposed the attention of the otaterman . The Cha ? 8 * a : < considered the Statesman to be an enemy to the working classes . The clause was adopted , the "Statesmen" having been previously expunged . The It A clause recommends the following out of O Briefs plan for the election of members , and that if possible persons duly qualiied to sit in Parliament be nominated . Mr . Leach supported tae clause . He did not expect they should return any Members , but it would be a go » d way of Bhowiug tkeir distrust of both Whig and Tory . Mr . Hanso . i said they had already adopted the plan in Carlisle with considerable effect . Mr . Johx stated they had « ue person duly qualified t « sit in their Association . The clause was then adopted .
Clause 20 recommends the people to attend all publk political meetings , with a view of taking the opinion of the country oa tbe principles of the Charter . Me . Spurs would leave < mt the word " political . " They had lately attended a meeting in London for transporting people to New Zealand ; and he w « did recommend them also to attend all meetings cot up by the priesthood , whether oi the Establishment or otherwise . Mr . Philp could * ot agreed with the last speaker . If they attended religious meetings , and caused -confusien , it would create a prejudice against -them . He thought their object ought to be to show that Chartism agreed witt Christianity , and not ( hat it was opposed to it . Mr . Williams said there was no occasion te leave out the word " political . ' The people would give the clause every latitude -of interpretation . The clause was tfeen adapted .
Clause 21 lecoameads total abstinence to ike people , and makes it incumbent on the officers of the society . Mr . Philp said the adoption of this clause would danage the revenue , and pat more money ia the pockets of the people . If tfae delegates adopted this cla « se , they certainly ought to practise what they preaeb , and themselves set the example . Mr . Airo 3 » epofcc in favour of the clause , and hoped the delegates would give it their most serious consideration . It was generally allowed that the ignorance of the people was the basis of their political slavery . There was not such a great cause of degradation as drunkenness . He himself knew a man , who , from a degraded -character , became principally instrumental in agitating a district , and sending a delegate to Convention . The duty on malt and hops amounted to upwards of fire millions , and if people were sober the greater part of that would be lost to the country .
Mr . Leach was not a teetotaller . He had no objection that it should be recommended , but the clause made it compulsory oa ihe missionaries and officers . Mr . Mo boas was of opi * ion with the last speaker . Mr . Phil ? had been of optaioa , when in committee , tha ; total abstinence atoould not be compulsory , and be Bhould vote for an alteration af the clause to that effect . He tben moved that " sobriety" should be " recommeadad . " Mr . Johx thought the principles of total abstinence ought to be carried out . They had friends in prison and over tbe sea , who ooold not get it ; and the man who would not make the sacrifice was not worthy of advocating the Charter .
Mr . Bakek spoke in favour of reeommending sobriety to the people . Mr . Williams made a long and able address in favour of the total abstinence principle , and moved as an amendment on Mr . Philp ' s motiou , that " total abstinence" should be recommended . Mr . Hasso . h supported Mr . Philp ' a view of the question . Mr . ABRAJf wonld make any sacrifice for the Charter , but it was no use to order the people to observe total abstinence , if they would not obey . Ii would only give occasion to their enemies to ridicule ibem . Mr . Williams ' s motion was rejected by the easticig vote of the Chairman .
Mr . Spfrb then moved an amendment to the effect that total abstinence should be compulsory on the ofieers of the society j it did not however meet with any encouragement , and Sir . PhiljPs motion was adopted . Thns the clause , as passed , merely reeommendB sobriety to the officers and members of the society . The whole plan having now been gone through , it was referred to a Committee of Review , consisting of Messrs . James Taylor , Morgan , and Arran . MB . O ' cONJiOK ' S iETTKE .
Mr . Deesak thought it would be treating Mr . O'Connor with disrespect , as well as grossly neglecting their duty , if they did not take some steps with respect to the subject of his letter . He then read extracts from the letter , detailing the horrible cruelty exercised towards the prisoners in Houses of Correctioa . He wonld therefore move that this delegate meeting do recommend the country to petition for a removal of the prisoners in Northallerton , Beverley , and Wakefield Houses of Correction , and for a Committee of Inquiry into the treatment of there prisoners , Mr . Fielden to bo one of the Commissioners . The motion , having been seconded , Mr . Alton thought the motion ought to have gone farther , and included all other prisoners who were ill-treated .
Mr . Haxsos was of the same opinion , and that the retnrn of Frost ought to be petitioned for . Mr . Dbbga * said the prisoners at Preston were most harshly treated , and he should have no objection to altering the terms of his motion . The Chairman said that by generalising the petition itB specific effects would be neutralised . He thongfatit would be best to adopt the recommendation of Mr . O'Connor . Mr , Dss « a 2 t thought that it might appear invidious if the Yorkshire prisoners alone were mentioned . He thought it might be better to petition for tbe removal of all political prisoners to county gaols . Mr . Lsecb did not like to petition for the removal of the prisoners from one gaol to another . It was a base and brutal act of the Government to put them
into prison at all for seeking for their constitutional rights . If they did petition , it should be for the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones , and for the entire liberation of all political prisoner * . Mr . Philp thought the names ef all the prisoners should be embodied in a petition- They were so numerous that it must attract public attention . Mr . Spites was in favour of a deputation of working men to Lord Normanby . Mr . Dseqan then altered the motion , and it was passed as follows : — " That the delegate meeting recommends the country to petition Parliament lor the liberation of all political offenders ; to memorialise the Queen for tne return of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; and also for a Committee of Inquiry to examine into and report the treatment of all political prisoners , par-

ticularly those confined in Northallerton , Beverley , and Wakefield Houses of Correction , John Fielden , isisq ., to be one of the Commissioners . " PLEDGE TO CAHRT OUT THE PLAN ADOPTED BT . THB MEETING . Mr . Philp proposed a resolution pledging the delegates , on their return to their constituents , to exert themselves to the utmost to arouse the working classes to belong to the National Charter A 880 Ciation , and to sink all minor differences in their ranted exertiona . The resolution was unanimously adopted . Sd ^ te ^^^^^^
APPROPRIATION OP THE " STAB" FUND . Mr . Leech Baid there were-heavy debts hanging over the Chartist prisoners , and they would con-Bider themselves ill-treated if that debt was not paid b y the country . If the money at the Star office was divided amongst all the families of the victims , it would be as nothing ; but if it -was appropriated to the payment of the debts , it would nearly clear them all off . There was one man in Manchester with an execution in his house , andM'Douall was threatened in a similar manner . If the money was appropriated for the payment of these debts , they would be able to see their way clearly . Mr . Lowe thought the money had much better be given to the wives and families of the prisoner , in-Btead of goine to fatten the lawvers .
t Tbe Chairman thought this a most important subject , and . that the consideration of it had better be deferred till there was a fuller attendance of delegates than at present .
ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY . Messrs . Deegan and Philps were appointed a com mitteo to draw up an address to the country . PLAN FOR CARRYING OUT THE CHARTER . Mr . Arran brought up the plan from the Committe of Review . The meeting then adjourned till to-morrow morn ing , when the plan will be finally adopted .

GREAT RADICAL MEETING AT CARPENTER'S HAW , MANCHESTER , A crowded meeting was held in Carpenter's Hall , on Thursday evening , for the purpose of hearing addresses from the several delegates of the people now assembled in Manchester , for tho purpose of organising a National Association for obtaining the Charter . Before the proceedings commenced , from four to five policemen forced their way into the room , with ' - out paying the penny which ia usually demanded at the doors on these occasions . The collectors
insisted oa their paying , and a crowd gathered round them . They refused to pay for some time ; but at last they went out amidst the groans of those present , and returned five minutes afterward ? , and paid tbeir admission money . No one would have objected to their admittance , if they had behaved with that civility which the public has a right to expect from its paid servants ; and no doubt the spirit shown on this occasion , will teach these gentlemen to behave with a little less insolence for the future . At eight o ' clock , Mr . Littler , delegate for Salford , was called to the chair .
The Chairman , on taking hi * seat , Baid it was desirable that the meeting should , for its own comfort and convenience , keep order and good discipline . He hoped , if there were any individuals present who differed from them ia opinion , he would endeavour to obtain for him a fair and impartial hearing . He hoped the speakers would confine themselves , as it was the wisn of the committee , to fifteen minutes . If tbe authorities had thought proper to have agents present , he trusted they would not take any notice of them ; and if they conducted themselves with propriety they need not fear any interfereace with the business of the evening . Mr . Connor proposed the following resolution : —
" That in the opinion of this meetimg , the present atate of the fraBchise in this country , ia both unjust and impolitic , inasmuch . &s it is based » pon tbe possession of property rather than intelligence , and we consider it & natural right that every man ought to have a voice , through his representative , in making those laws he is called on to obey . And , therefore , we pledge ourselves never to escape agitating antll the present exclusive system u abolished , and tbe People ' s Chatter established in its stead . " Mr . Clarke seconded the resolution , which was unanimously carried .
Mr . SPCRRsaid the resolution asserted the inalienable and constitutional right of every man to the franchise ; and he would not take many minutes to prove it was so . What was the objection to granting the franchise to the people ? That they were too ignorant and too poor . But if tbey were poor that was a reason the more for giving them the franchise ; for a rich man ' s riches would protect him , but the poor man wanted the franchise to protect his poverty . And as to ignorance , he thought the working classes ef late had shewngood proof of intelligence ; and if they had but had a proper organization , they would nave taught tbe upper-classes , as they were called , a lesson they would not have two . forgotten . Allow him to point out how it could be obtained . The resolution pointed out the means by which they were sure to obtain it , Never cease agitating till the
People ' s Charter became tbe law of the land . " If the men of Manchester would unite with the men of London , they would shake the citadel of tyranny to its base , and raze it to the ground . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He trusted they would unite and work together—and be determined to carry on the agitation at all hazards and all risks . ( Cheers . ) There would be hazards and risks in their union , for wherever the people united for their advantage , the factioa . 8 were sure to make out ihat their actions were illegal . But he would resist them . Yes ! he would use passive resistance . ( Cheers . ) He would take &r his example the great Redeemer of mankind—he would go to prison , or to death itself for the cause ; but the Charter he was determined to kive .
Mr . Philp , delegate from Manchester , next addressed the meeting . He said there they were altogether , and looking pretty cheerful , considering all things . He had not left his part ot the country to hide himself from hi 8 fellow citizens ; but they had sent him to represent them in the delegate meeting held in that town . He had heard there were policemen in the room : he was glad of it : he trusted they would oome often ; they might hear something there that might do them good ; and they might take something back to their oppressors which might make them quail . They were not the enemies of the police . They would make them better off than they were now . Instead of giving them l £ s . per week , and dressing them up in au indescribable manner
, the Chartists would put them upon a footing of equality with their masters . Mr . Philp then alluded to the persecution which he had endured from the magistrates of Wiltshire , and said , the language he had used before be had made use of again that night , and he was equally ready to suffer now , as he kad been before . Mr . Hanson , delegate from Carlisle , would be brief in his remarks . Let them review the present state of society , and ask themselves if the Charter had been the law of the land , would they be in the condition they now were ? Had the system acted on for the last one hundred years been one of truth and justice , he was sure he should not have been there that night to advocate the principles of the
Charter . From the aristocracy d * wn to the shopocracy , all lived upon the blood , and bones , and sinews of the working classes . The Corn Law repealers now begun to agitate , because the shoe pinched them ; and such was the state of the country that the shopocrats must become Chartists , or else retire' upon the merciful provisions of the bastile act . The bayonet of the soldier might f litter , and the bullet of the policeman might whistle y , but the people were prepared to make any sacrifice to establish their rights . ( Cheers . ) He then alluded to the manner in which America had maintained against this country the great principle that taxation without representation was tyranny ; and be trusted the day was not far distant when the peooitm
pie s country woulaiollowtheirplan , andturnthe present scoundrels out of office , and establish the same principle . The people of Carlisle were determined to oppose every candidate who came forward , whether he was Whig or Tory ; and last Monday , when Howard , the Whig candidate , came forward , they would not hear him , but up went a ' number of placards— " Remember Frost , Williams , and Jones , " " Remember Lovett and Collins , " &c . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Bowman had nominated Mr . O'Connor ; and , to the eternal honour of his fellow-townsmen , they had carried him on a Bhow of hands by a majority of two to one . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Smart , of Leicester , late Member of Convention , was received with three cheers . This was the
first time he was ever in Manchester ; but the proceedinga which had taken plaoe since he bad been here , had raised his spirits one hundred per cent ., which before were rather depressed . He had been a member of the late Convention ; and he had rather have represented his brother working men there , than to have the Queen stand for hiB godmother . ( Great laughter . ) He did not think there was any occasion for him to open the horn-book of political instruction in a town which had fostered hie friend R . J . Richardson . He then alluded to the state of the working classes in Leicestershire , where there were 30 , 000 of the working classes toiling
fourteen and sixteen hours a-day for 7 s . a-week . They had heard of ride and tie . One man rides a mile , then ties the horse up , and his companion comes up , mounts him , passes bis companion , and tben ties him again ; and thus the journey ia performed . The Whigs and Tories had been playing at ride and tie ; and the people had been the horse , or rather the ass , who bore them . But he trusted that things were now changing , and that the people would shortly ride in their turn . He then earnestly entreated them never to ceaso their agitation till the Charier beeamo the law of the land . Mr . Kkowles proposed the following
resolution : — " That this meeting da sympathise with our persecuted friends , who are now suffering for their advocacy

of the undoubted rights of man ; and we hereby pledge ourselves never to relax our efforts to obtain the restoration of our much esteemed friends , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all other of our imprisoned advocates to the bosom of their families . " Mr . Curran seconded the motion . The Chairman said he had great pleasure in introducing to them an old veteran in the struggle for the peo ple ' s rights , Mr . Black , of Nottingham . rightsofman ^ ndhereby pled ^
Mr-. Black then addressed the meeting in a humourous speech , in which he was very hard upon the clergy of all denominations . He Bpoke at great length , and was at first heard with great attention . He Bat down amidst' considerable applause , mixed with cries of " time" and " sit down / 1 Mr . Deegan , of Stalybridge , addressed the audience in a splendid speech , which we sincerely regret the late period of the week at which it was delivered prevents its insertion .
Mr . Tuomason addressed the meeting in an able speech . Mr . Connor then moved a resolution to tbe effect that Mr . Leech should be sent to Birmingham , to meet Lovett and Collins , and that a subscription be entered into for that purpose . The resolution was seconded and adopted ; after which a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting broke up , after giving three cheers for Pearcus O'Connor .

. —Friday , July 17 .
Mr . Kemble inquired what Bills the Government intended to proceed with to-morrow ( Saturday ) . Lord J . Russell , in reply , stated that he should proceed with none likely to be opposed . Colonel Slbthorp said that it did not much matter which were named ; he should oppose them all . Mr . Aglionby inquired whether there would be any objection to produce the instructions to Mr . Crawford , to inquire into complaints preferred regarding the regulations of York Castle ? Mz . Fox Maule said that they were verbal—to examine into the truth of the allegations . A new writ was ordered for the western division of the county of Surrey , in the room of W . J . Percival , Esq ., now Lord Arden .
The Attorney-wneral , in answer to Mr . Muntz , said that though Monday was fixed for the Rating of Stack Bill , he could not promise that the measure Should be brought forward . FACTORY INSPECTORS—POLITICAL SPIES . Oa the order of the day being read for the House to go into a Committee of Supply , Mr . FIELDEN rose to make the motion ef which he had given notice . At the commencement of his address the Hon . Member spoke in so low a tone that he was almost totally inaudible hi the gallery . We understood him to complain that the answers ef Mr . Stewart before the committee , as taken by the short-hand writers and originally delivered to him , was materially different from those which were printed in the report , and put
into the hands of the Members of the House This was another illustration ef the evil of allowing parties to alter their evidence when it vraa sent to them for correction . The Hon . Member then proceeded to read some of the questions put to Mr . Stewart before the Committee , and the answers given by him . The Hon . Member then referred to a letter addressed to Mr . Deeds , superintendent of factories , from which it appeared that the Inspector was specially authorised to watch the assemblages of the working-people , whilst he was to take care that he was not suspected . The Hon . Member contended from this , that it was dear that Government had made these Gentlemen spies . The Act of Parliament did not authorise Government in so doing . The Inspectors were appointed under the sign
manual of the Crown . They were placed in situations of very great importance , and were authorised to make rules and regulations . If he { Mr . F . ) were to be in company with spies and informers , he would hold no communication with them . He should consider them degraded , and - should consider himself degraded in communicating with them . This was only the consequence of that system of centralisation which Governmest was constantly endeavouring to carry oat The House and the country ought to watch these proceedings ; and he would recommend the electors in general to take care that they were not brought under the system of espionage . His present object was to
ascertain how far these men had been employed , and in what capacity ; and if he were refused the committee , be should have no doubt that they hod been employed ia tbe maunor he had stated . He therefore moved , " That a select committee be appointed to inquire into certain disclosures made to the committee on mills and factories , by Mr . Stewart , inspector of factories , on the 23 rd day of June instant ; and by Mr . Beal , superintendent or factories , the day following , aa to their employment in other matters than those assigned to them by the authority of Parliament ; and to Ascertain how far the inspectors and superintendents of factories have been employed by the Government hi the capacity of political spies . " '
General JOHNSON seconded the motion . It was impossible that Government could refuse the inquiry whether they , had employed persons in so mean , dirty , and contemptible a manner . He regretted that this measure oT centralisation should be accompanied by the detestable employment of spies . He fcuew that , in consequence of this espionage , many persons in Yorkshire and Lancashire had beeu put into prison for having attended meetings which they knew to be illegal . At Barnsley , a meeting was called on the 13 th of July , and dispersed peaceably . . < On . the 13 th of August
it was again dispersed without any breach of the peace ; bni , # ntbo 15 th of August , three of the persons who were supposed to act as ringleaders in July , were taken up , and excessive boil demanded . £ 600 was demanded of a poor weaver , not for words said , but because he was present at a meeting which was said to be "illegal . If the principle was to be adopted of employing the factory inspectors a * spies , it was high time to get rid of the system altogether . The documents read by the Hon . Member for Oldham shewed the necessity of a committee , in order to make the matter as clear and satisfactory as possible .
Mr . F MAULE should not need to detain the House at any length in meeting and explaining the charge brought forward by the Hon . Member for Oldham . It was true that the charge was one of the gravest nature , if it was supported in any way by proof sufficient to warrant the House to entertain it ; but on the Hon . Member ' s own showing all the proof he had at present was some whisperings which he bod heard in the cloisters of the House of Commons , and a private letter written solely for the information of the person to whom it was addressed by the inspector of factories . How that letter came into the Hon . Member ' s possession , he ( Mr . F . Maule ) knew not It must either have been given to fa by the person to whom it was addressed ( and if so , it was a breach of confidence on tbe port ef
a public officer , which he was sure the House would at once repudiate ); or if it had come into the Hon . Members possessiouany ' other way , all he would remark upon it was , that he should not have used such a document . He ( Mr . F . Maule ) would at once explain all the facto to the HoUBe . The Hon . Member had stated the nature of the appointment of the factory inspectors , and the superintendents unier them , from which the House would be aware of the duties which these gentlemen had to perform . Those duties made them intimately acquainted with everything that belonged to the operative classes . In large towns , no fluperintendent or inspector of factories could be ignorant of the condition of those classes . He did not for one moment hesitate to avow that the inspectors had instructions
from the Government to keep tbe Governmentaoquainted from time to time—with the state of the operative classes , as it came under their cognisance , not with the state of their political feeling , so as to give an opportunity of calling the spies , but with the whole state of the manufacturing population—their distress prosperity , every vicissitude which might affect theml in order to keep the Government acquainted with the condition of the great mass of the population , which never could , and never ought to be , indifferent to any Government whatsoever . ( Hear , hear . ) in addition to this , instructions had been given from time to time to these gentlemen to state the nature of the harvest at its conclusion , but he was astonished that that should be torture * into an instruction from her Majesty ' s Government to
employ the superintendents of factories to act in disguise as political spies . ( Hear , hear , hear . > He was sure , also , that the House would be astonished at any such assertion . Had they not had instances of the Hon . Gentleman opposite not hesitating , in his dislike to the Government officers who discharged such duties , to heap upou them every calumny by which he might injure them . Unfortunately for the Hon . Gentleman ' s , case , he had applied this charge to the superintendents of factories in Scot land . Now , in the whole time of the Chartist disturbance it did bo happen that there never was a Chartist meeting in Scotland at which any illegal act was committed . ¦ It did so happen that there bad not been a single Chartist prosecution . It so happened
that the operative classes had been so prudent that they had not listened to the advice of those who bad once or twice tried to mislead them , and during the whole of this time the Lord Advocate ' s office had been one of satisfaction to him , Inasmuch as he was not called upon to exercise his power in restratnfa * public meeting , or instituting any prosecution in case of suoh public meeting . It was quite true Mr . O'Connor did go to Dundee , and it was perfectly possible that Mr . Stewart might have told his superintendent , that there was to be a public meeting at Dundee , that Mr . O'Connor was to address the meeting , and that the inspector was to let him know , in the course of the
correspondence , what was to take place . The proposition of the Hon . Member for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the charges now made , he could could not agree to , because then the persons interested might attend on the inquiry , and give any evidence they might think proper , without being under the responsibility of an oath . He entertained a conviction that the good sense of the body of the people would enable them properly to appreciate the conduct of persons , calling themselves their friends , thus throwing out odious charges against gentlemen whose whole time and zealous exertions are exerted in the cause of those classes amongst whom they resided .
Mr . DISRAELI remarked that the Hon . Secretary had at length been obliged to admit that the Factory Commissioners bad certain duties assigned to them which bad never been suspected before ; that they were

somehow bonnrt to afford information to their superiors , for which they were not paid ; that they were officially required to watch and give information as to the working classes ; what meetings they held ; and more especially to report upon the prospects of the harvest , to which , throughout the whole country , the population , in the present donbtfal circumstances of the harvest , must be looking up to with such intense interest What was the real import of the note or circular Which the Hon . Secretary of state admitted had been sent by a factory commissioner to an inspector in the provinces ? Why he would read it , and when they heard it they would be able to understand why the mere allusion to it hod put the Hon . Secretary into such an ill humour . This official note by the factory commissioner to the inspector runs thus : — ¦¦ to to superiors ,
" Sir , —I have to inform you that you will , in your official capacity , be required to watch ( not observe , said the Hon . Member , the harvest as had been said , or the crops , but ) the state of the people in your district , and see what meetings of Chartists or of other of the working classes take place there , or other proceedings which may be calculated to endanger the public peace ; and in doing so and reporting thereon to me you ¦ will also observe caution and act with such prudence ( whether , said the Hon . Member , at Dundee or elsewhere )—{ a laugh ) , —as not to be discovered . " Here was a letter which the Hon . Secretary had contended merely referred to the necessity for those functionaries to watch on the part of a paternal Government over the working classes , whether in their
state of prosperity or of adversity , and more especially having reference to the harvest . ( Loud laughter . ) It was not yet twelve months since this country was on the eve of insurrection , and already the Government was detected in the employment of official persons in the capacity of spies upon public meetings of the working classes , in the manufacturing districts * : ; And , forsooth , the House was Informed by one of the members of a popular Government , as they termed themselves , that their object was to acquire information respecting the harvest Surely such monstrous and Pharisaical—( a laugh )—hypocrisy as this out of tbeir mouths , at least the House would not bear ; and some one must apply for something on the subject more satisfactory than the explanation and the assurance just now given
by the Honourable Under Secretary . ( Cheers . ) They were now at the end of the session , and it was of importance that they who bad property to lose should learn from Borne official source , on what grounds their hopes of public tranquillity during the recess of Parliament were to rest He felt at a loss to conceive whom the Hon . Secretary alluded to , when he talked of persons going about the factory districts , exciting the labouring classes to insurrection . He did not know whether they meant to those wandering members of the Ministry , who had notoriously gone round congratulating the people upon their multitudinous torch-light meetings , which raised alarm throughout the land . ( Loud cheers . ) He hod remarked that before the Hon . Secretary had ventured to talk in this strain , be very shrewdly
and prudently looked behind him to see if the Hon . and Learned Member for Dublin were there —( a laugh ) , —but he was not in the House , and he therefore allowed himself that liberty of uttering his undisguised sentiments . One would have supposed the Hon . Secretary had never heard of the popular excitement which it had suited his friends to avail themselves of , when tottering in their places , or of the appeal to a nation to aroinse itself to insurrectionary action , of the call for a million of shillings , and the guarantee of political regeneration —thear );—of a subscription of a million of shillings , and a dissolution of the union , and a dismemberment of the empire —( loud cheers ) j and upon such a disclosure being made as the Hon . Member for Oldham had brought to light , were they to be satisfied with the explanation attempted to be given by a Government which had been the child and the champion of sedition
for years post ?—( loud cheers and some laughing on the benches behind the Ministerial bench . ) No doubt they would soon hear that the same course of sinister policy had been pursued in Ireland with respect to the Poor Law Commissioners there and Factory Commissioners , as to watch over political meetings and movements under the same pretext and excuse of the Government , should hereafter be detected that it was only intended to watch over the working classes with paternal solicitude , whether in prosperity or adversity , or to enable them to report upon the prospects of the harvest —(" hear . " and laughing ) . As Parliament was separating , it would be a consolation to know that these important enquiries were to be intrusted to persons so perfectly competent to the discbarge of the duty in their new employment He should cordially support tbe motion .
Mr . HINDLETdifforedin opinion altogether from Mr . D ' Ii « raeli ; and expressed regret that Mr . Fielden should have brought forward such a motion . Lord ASHLEY deprecated the course adopted by the Hm Member for Oldham . His Lordship did not believe that her Majesty ' s Ministers had sought to acquire political information by unworthy means ; and he felt sure that the effect of Mr . Fielden ' s motiou would , if persevered in , be to render the Factory Bill , recently passed , a dead letter . Mr . MAHK PHILIPS was eulogistic ef the Government , at the expense of its predecessors . The present Government he declared to be incapable of employing spies , or ot goatling the people into resistance of the law . To accuse the factory commissioners of being spies could have no other effect than to destroy tho beneficial effects of the Factory Act
Mr . HUME declared that Mr . Fielden ' a motion had not been fairly met It had f , not been denied that the letter quoted by the Hon . Member for Oldham was genuine : it had not been denied that that letter bad been extensively circulated . To quash the matter now , would be found impossible . Too much had been prol claimed to the public ; and if the matter were not now sifted to the bottom , the impression would remain that the Factory Commissioners were nothing better than political spies . Sir ROBERT PEEL did not think the Government bl&moable in procuring information by all available means ; but he did think the Hon . Member for Manchester ( Mr . Mark Phillips ) wrong in hinting that other Governments had acted with less propriety in this matter than tho present . No GovernmentSir Robert
, declared , had ever employed agents to goad the people to resistance to the law ; but information as to the machinations of the disaffected must be procured by the Executive , and the instruments that are available for such a purpose ore not always of the description that might be desired . While , however , he exculpated Ministers from the charge preferred against them by the Honourable Member for Oldham , he admitted that it might be doubted , whether the employment of factory commissioners to collect political information was an act of prudence . He hoped , however , that as gentlemen on the Ministerial side of the House had abated somewhat of the violence of their patriotism on this point ef collecting information , they would not , Bhould it be their fate to return to opposition , forget tho lessons which they had learned on the ministerial benches .
Lord John Russell denied that the Factory Commissioners had been employed as " political spies . " He deprecated , moreover , the Indiscriminate application of the term " spy" to all the individuals who might be employed to supply the Government with necessary information . The present Government had not done what some preceding Governments had done . The present Government had not employed individuals to excite and to betray the disaffected . This reflection on former Governments led to explanations between Sir Robert Peel and Lord John .
Mr . w AKLEY observed that the employment of factory commissioners to collect political information , necessarily led to the very evils most deprecated by the Noble Lord . The commissioner employed the inspector . The inspector employed a subordinate ageat The subordinate agent employed some needy tool in the ranks of the disaffected . Government money is advanced in order to unravel the web of conspiracy ; and the spies themselves are , not unfrequently , the creators of the plot which they affect to discover ? In the case of the Factory Commissioners , Mr . Wakley declared it to be indecent to pay these mea for one thug , and to employ them foir another . An extended discussion ensued . The House divided on it The numbers were—in its fa-rour , 11 j against It , 113 . "' ¦ ¦•*
Mr . F . Kelly moved for leave to bring In a bill to abolish the puhishment of death in Ireland , in certain esses . Mr . Fox Maule said , that unless the bill were drawn differently from that regarding England , he must op . pose the motion . Mr . F . Kelly replied , that it was similarly drawn . The Attorney-General said , that the form of the English bill was exceedingly inconvenient for discussion . Motion agreed to ; the bill was then presented . Considerable discussion took place on the question of the third reading of the Poor Law Commission Act Continuance Bill , and it was eventually deferred till Tuesday , at twelve o ' clock . The remaining orders were then disposed of , most of them being postponed , after which the House &djourned till to-morrow .
Saturday , July 18 . The House assembled at noon . the Custody of Insane Prisoners Bill went through committee . . The report on the Canal Police BUI was presented . The Chancellor of the Exchequer ( the House having resolved into committee on " potato" sugar ) moved a resolution , which was adopted , that all sugar , from whatever article it might be manfactured , should be subject to the same duty as beet-root sugar . The resolution was adopted . The West India Relief BUI was read the third time and passed . The Court of Exchequer ( Ireland ) BUI was considered hi committee , and the report was ordered to be received on MOnday . The House went into committee on the Slaves Bounties Acts , and two resolutions were adopted , on the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer .
Captain Pechell called attention to the subject of large sums being still due for slaves captured previously to 1836 , and trusted that Government would consider those claims . The report was ordered to be presented on Monday . The Turnpike Acts Continuance BiU was read a second time .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuetdap , July 22 . After the presentation of a few petitions , Mr . Grsmsditch , ou the question for the third reading of the Poor Law Commission Bill , moved that it should be read a third time on that day three months . He moved this amendment , he said , Hot with any expectation of carrying it , but in order to elicit the attentions of Government . He hoped there was no design to establish a permanent board . Tho existing law might be a good one , as far as the
unions were concerned ; but the workhouse system should be relaxed with respect to the unfortunate , and enforced only against the idle and dissolute . The expense , too , of the officers was enormous , and mu 3 t be reduced . Mr . Slaney drew a comparison between the state of England as she had been before , and her state as she was since , the enactment of the present Poor Laws . These laws , he said , had quieted the country , and reduced the rates from seven millions sterling to three .
General Johnson said this reduction was a fallacy ,, and condemned the whole system , as an attempt to introduce a principle of centralisation , incompatible with the liberties of man . Even the promised advantage of uniformity had not resulted from this law ; and the old and the poor had been consigned by it to a premature mortality . Mr . Hodgea was of opinion , that if all particulars were taken into the account , the saving would turn out to be but little . Mr . Ward considered the new system preferable to the old one , and expressed his intention of supporting the third reading , though not without adding a hope that the whole measure would receive further improvement . Mr . Darby complained of the peculiar hardships suffered by those who , after marrying on the faith
of the old law , were left helpless under the new . ] Mr . Wakley imputed much of the evil which had existed under the old system to the mismanagement , idleness , negligence , and ignorance of the magistrates . He objected to the continuance of the powers of the commissioners for a single day . Sir C . Douglas and Mr . Eaton supported the amendment , as did Colonel Sibthorp , who said that ministers , a most incapable set , had directed ail their efForta against the country ' s institutions , assailing the church , undermining the navy , and oppresssiug the poor . Mr . F . Maule told the gallant Colonel that his invectives against Ministers , though amusing in the House , had little effect in the country . For the presens , the Government asked merely a renewal for one year , and early in the next session they would be prepared to consider the requisite improvements . ¦
Sir F . Burdett thought that the period of the session formed of itself a sufficient objection against the present progress of a measure to serious . That measure had inoreasod , instead of allayed , tho evils it dealt with , and had created an ill-feeling between labourer and employer , between rich and poor , which it would be very difficult to heal . Mr . W . Attwood , who had seconded the amendment , complained that the commissioners had acted in opposition to the report of the committee which had been appointed to inquire into the Poor Laws ; and he could not but think it fitting to oppose the renewal of powers to such commissioners . Lord J . Russell said , the commission had been intended as a permanent one , though the first experiment ofit was confined to a period of five years . Further powers would be required from Parliament for the useful working of the system , but the pressure of other business in the present session had obliged him to postpone the subject until a future
one . Mr . Muntz considered the Poor Law as a great oppression to the labouring classes , espcoially in the manufacturing distriots , where they could obtain no relief but on condition of selling off their all , and going into the workhouse . The third reading was then carried on a division by a majority of 74 against 16 , tho Ministers having swept all the public offices for votes . Several Bills were advanced -a stage , and Lord Morpeth obtained leave to bring in a bill to provide for the compensation of corporate officers in certain cases in Ireland . The House then adjourned till five o'clock , when , there not being forty members present , it stood adjourned till next day . Wednesday , July 22 .
A petition was presented from the Democratic Abstinence Society of London , praying for the dismissal of Ministers , and for the pardon of all political offenders ; a petition from 931 inhabitants of Aberdeen , to the same effect ; a petition from Sheffield , in favour of an alteration of the law of libel ; a petition from J . Richardson , bookseller , Salford , complaining of his treatment in Lancaster Gaol ; a petition from 8 , 690 inhabitants of Barnslev , complaining of the treatment of Mr . Feargus O'Connor ; a petition from Forfarshire , against the punishment
of death ; a petition from Fifeshire , for an extension of the suffrage and dismissal of Ministers ; a petition from Barbadoes , complaining of the laws relating to liberated negroes ; a petition from Glasgow , praying for the dismissal of Ministers , and that Universal Suffrage be made a Cabinet question ; another from the same place , complaining of the treatment of Mr . Feargu 8 O'Connor and other political offenders ; and a petition fiomthe ushers and judges * clerks of the Court of Exchequer , praying for compensation .
Lord Morpeth brought in the Municipal Districts ( Ireland ) and Compensation to Corporate Officers in Certain cases Bill . Mr . E . Tennent said that he should bring forward his motion regarding the delay in adjusting the British claims on Brazil on the 4 th « f August . Mr . Hume intimated that he should on Friday direct attention to the mode of keeping the public accounts . He also gave notice that when the Clergy ReserveB ( Canada ) Bill should be again brought forward hai-should submit a resolution declaratory of the expediency of selling the clergy reserves , and applying the proceeds to the purposes of education . Mr . Aglionby stated that on Friday he should move the consideration of Feargus O'Connor ' s petition . The Affirmation Bill called forth a good deal of discussion . There was a great deal of talk about f jreign affairs . And several bills were forwarded a stage ; on one of which , the Affirmation Bill , a good deal of talk was expended .
