House Of Lords-Mond ' Ay, " March 30. Ih...
produee creator abuse in Ireland , it would have been unpardonable in him to have introduced a bill establishing that principle , merely because it was reoommended by that commission . His opinion with regard to the danger of the house sanctioning sucli a bill still remained unchanged . The O'Connor Don and Mr . P . Butler opposed the bill , on the ground of its being impracticable to work such a measure in Ireland . Mr . Wakkx regretted that Sir J . Graham who was , and Lord J . Russell , who expected soon to be , a Minister of the Crown , were both equally decided against giving out-door relief in Ireland . He wished ihat either of them would state distinctly why ; it was that the poor of Ireland were to receive different treatment from the poor of England . Ueteheyf that crime would increase in Ireland unless they gave to its poor the title to relief in cases of ^ titution-He should certainly give his support to the seconu reading ofthis bilL „ , h , „ _»_ , af » li Lord C .

Lxcus , having obtained leave for the Committee on the building the Houses ot Parliament to report from time to time , brought up the first re-Dort agreed to unanimously , which he said recommended a plan by which there was every reason to hope that the completion of { the buildings might be expedited , and the differences between the architect aud Dr . Reid be compromised . The house then adjourned , at a quarter to six .
HOUSE OF LORDS—Thdesdax , April 2 . TIIE VICTORIES IX INDIA . The Earl of Rirox rose to move a vote of thanks to the army of the Sutlej , for the late brilliant actions in India ; and , after adverting to the pleasure which he felt in drawing the attention of the house to two victories instead of one , proceeded to describe at great length the circumstances which led to the battle of Aliwal , and to particularise the several manoeuvres which resulted in the total defeat of that portion of the Sikh army opposed to Sir LI Smith ' s division at Aliwal . His lordship at the same time passed a high eulogium on Sir H . Smith and the officers under his command ; and , after a less extended notice of the battle of Sobraon , concluded by moving that the thanks of the house should be given to SirH . Smith , the officers , and troops under Lis command , for their conduct at tho battle of Aliwal , and to Sir H . Hardinge , Sir H . Gough , and the officers and troops under their command , for the victory sained over the Sikhs at Sobraon .
The Earl of Atjcklasd seconded the motion . The Duke of iFeluxgtox , after expressing his delight at the unanimity which prevailed in the house on the subject , proceeded to comment on the course of events which had rendered war . with the Sikhs inevitable . The several resolutions were then put and agreed to . The house then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS-Tit cksdat , Aran 2 .
THE MILITIA . Dr . Bowbixg , agreeably to a dropped notice , inquired of the Secretary at War whether any order bad been lately issued with , a view of filling up the staff of militia officers , and whether such orders were connected with any arrangements in progress for calling out the militia ? * Mr . S . Herbert said that orders had been issued for the inspection of the militia staff , with a view of filling up vacancies , so as to have a staff fit for duty . After Easter he should move for leave to bring in a bill consolidating the laws relating to the militia and the staff , enabling government to call out the militia at any time .
THE VICTORIES OF THE SUTLEJ . Sir R . Peel eloquently dwelt on the frequent oceasions on which he had been called upon to demand the thanks of Parliament for glorious victories achieved by British valour since Ma acceptance f office in 1 S 43 . Sir R . Peel then , after noticing with . laudatory emphasis the cordiality which had been evinced by Sir Henry Hardinge and Sir Hugh Gough , gave a brief narrative of the events which had occurred between the battles of Moodkce and Ferozeshah and that of Aliwal . He then described the last-named battle , and moved a vote of thanks to Sir Harry Smith and to the
officers and men who were in that action . Approaching the last great conflict , Sir Robert paid a well-merited tribute to the bravery of the Sikh troops , quoting , iu testimony , a private letter which had been written by Sir Hugh Gough immediately after the engagement at . Sobraon . The General , in this document , expresses his high admiration of the chivalrous bearing of the enemy ; remarking that after victory had unequivocally gone against them , they bated not a jot of their former intrepidity" walking away after the defeat , and even in this extremity disdaining to ask for quarter . " He then moved a Vote of thanks to the officers and men who were in the engagement at Sobraon .
Sir J . Hobuocse seconded the motion , which was supported by several speakers , including Sir R . Inglis , Lord J . Russell , Sir De Lacy Evans , and Mr . Hume . The Totes were then passed unanimously .

THE SPY SYSTEM . The subject of the Spy System in Ireland was referred to in the course of a conversation which took place upon a motion by Mr . W . S . O'Brien , Mr . Grattan afiirming that . police emissaries were so numerous , and their disguises so perfcet , that it had got to be a constant inquiry in many Irish districts , " Are you a policeman ' (" Sir J . Gkaham denied all knowledge of these circumstances , but promised to institute inquiries upon the subject .
EVICTION OF TENANTRY . Mr . W . S . O'BiaEN , having read to the house an account , i ' h extenso , of the recent wholesale eviction of tenantry , at Balltnglass , moved for a commission to inquire into all the circumstances , and report without delay to Parliament . Sir J . Gkaham opposed the application as unnecessary , in consequence of an inquiry which had already , been set on foot by government into these circumstances . The motion was then withdrawn . Sir J . Gbahau obtained leave to bring in a bill for the amendment of highways iu England . The other orders were then disposed of , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OF LORDS-Fridat , March 2 ? . [ From onr Second Edition of last weeb . ~]

THE CORN LAWS-ADJOURNED DEBATE . After speeches from Sir James Graham , Mr . Stuart , Mr . Bowring , and the Marquis of Worcester , Sir R . Peel commenced by referring to the personal charges which had been brought against him by various members of the Protectionist party . ( His allusion to this topic was immediately answered by vehement cheers from the other side of the house ) The interests of the poor required ( hat extended facilities should be afforded them for obtaining an article of food of such primary importance as wheat . He then entered upon the question of foreign supply and prices , and contended that there was no just ground for fear of such an inundation of foreign wheat on the one hand as to reduce the value of home-grown produce be ' ow , at any rate , the
prices whicn it fetched in 1822 and 1835 , or such a diminished supply on the other hand as to cause a serious inconvenience to our population , lie proceeded to combat the several arguments of the Protectionists , and concluded by referring to the circumstances under which the present measure was brought forward , and to the combination of parties to which , if carried , the measure would owe its success . His referenc-s on this subject were met by the Free Trade party with loud cheering , and for some time after the conclusion of the speech the plaudits were continued . Mr . S . O'Briex spoke against tho measure . Viscount Falmersiox addressed the house at some length in support of the measure , which had his hearty concurrence . The house then divided , when the numbers
were—For the Second Reading 302 Against it 21-1 Majority for the Second Reading —tS The other orders were then disposed of , and the House adjourned . * We have not room for the details of this debate , but we shall most likely call attention to the subject nest week .

INDIA . CLOSE OF THB WAR ! [ Continuedfrom our fiftli Page . ] The Lomlon Gazette Extraordinary . published at a late hour on Wednesday evening , contains the followin . im portant extract of a despatch from the Governor-General , in addition to those before published :- jsj ) . Boar ^ ApiuL ^ 18 i ( J > The Secret Committee of the East India Company nas this day received , from the Governor-General ol India , a despatch , from which the following is an extract : — The Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee . Camp , Kanha Cucliwa , Feb . 19 , 1840 . ( Extract . )
The immcdiateresult of the victory of Aliwal was the evacuation by the Sikh garrisons of all the forts , hitherto occupied by detachments of Lahore soldiers , on this side of " the Ilivcr Sutlej , and tho submission of tho whole of the territory on the left bank of that river to the British government . The Sikh army remained in its entrenched position ; and , though on the first intelligence of the victory of Aliwal , and at tho sight of the numerous bodies which floated from the neighbourhood of that battle-field to the bridge of boats at Sobraon , they seemed much shaken and disheartened , and though many were reported to have left them and gone to their homes , yet , after a few days , the Sikh troops seemed as confident as ever of being able to defy us in their entrenched position , and to prevent our passage of the river . The Commander-in-Chief was not in a state to take
advantage of the enemy ' s defeat at Aliwal , by an attack on his entrenched position at Sobraon , until the troops under Major-Gcneral Sir II . Smith should have rejoined his Excellency ' s camp , and tho siege train and ammunition should have arrived from Delhi . The first portion of the siege train , with the reserve ammunition for 100 field guns , reached the Commander-in-Chiefs camp on the fth and Sth inst . On the latter day the brigades which had been detached from the main army for the operations in the neighbourhood of Loodianah rejoined the Commanderin-Chief . Within forty-eight hours from that time
the enemy ' s entrenched camp was carried by storm , his army almost annihilated , sixty-seven guns captured , and , during the night of the 10 th , on which this glorious victory was achieved , the advanced brigades of the British army were thrown across the Sutlej . Early on the 12 th our brigade was completed , and en the 13 th , the Commander-in-chief , with the whole force , excepting the heavy train , and the division left to collect and bring in the wounded to Ferozepore , with the captured guns , were encamped in the Punjaub , at Kussoor , sixteen miles from the bank of the river opposite Ferozepore , and thirty-two miles from Lahore .
For the details of these . important and decisive operations , I must refer you to the enclosures of this despatch . 1 cannot , however , refrain from expressing briefly the pride and gratification with which I communicate to you these results so eminently evincing the energetic decision of the Commander-in-Chief' s operations , and the indomitable courage of the British Indian army under his Excellency ' s command , . and which will , I am convinced , be met with a corresponding feeling by the home government and the British public . I r eturned to Ferozepore from thefield of Sobraon on the afternoon of the 10 th , within a few hours after the action bad ceased , to superintend the passag © of the Sutlej by our troops . I joined the camp of the Commander-in-Chief at Kussoor , on the morning of the 11 th .
On the arrival at Lahore ot the news of the complete victory of Sobraon , the Ranee and Durbar urged Raja Goolab Singh , to proceed immediately to the British camp , to beg pardon in the name of the Durbar and the Sikh government for the offence which had been committed , and to endeavour to negotiate some arrangement for the preservation of tho country from utter ruin . The R ? ja first stipulated that the Durbar and the chief officers of the army , as well as the members of the Punchayets , should sign a solemn declaration
that they would abide by such terms as he might determine on with the British government . This ia said to have been immediately acceded to ; and , on the loth , Raja Goolab Sing , Dewar Dena Natli , and Fakeer Nooroodeen arrived in my camp at Kussoor , with full credentials from the Maha Raja , and empowered to agree , in the name of the Maha Raja and the government , to such terms as 1 might dictate . The Raja was accompanied by the Barukzie Chief , Sooltan Mahomed Khan , and several of the most influential Sirdars of the nation .
I received the Raja in Durbar as the representative of an offending government , omitting the forms and ceremonies usually observed on the occasion of friendly meetings , and refusing to receive , at that time , the proffered Nuzzurs and complimentary offerings . I have briefly explained to the Raja and his colleagues that the offence which had been committed was most serious , and the conduct of the chiefs and army was most unwarrantable—that this offence had beeri perpetrated without the shadow of any cause of qua-rel on the part of the British government , in the face of an existing treaty of amity and friendshipand that , as all Asia had witnessed the injurious conduct of the Sikh nation , retributive justice required that the proceedings of the British government should be of a character which would mark to the whole world that insult could not be offered to the British government , and our provinces invaded by a hostile army , without signal punishment .
I told the Raja that I recognised the wisdom , prudence , and good feeling evinced by him in having kept himself separate from these unjustifiable hostilities of the Sikhs , and that I was prepared to mark my sense of that conduct in the proceedings which must now be carried through . I stated , in the most marked manner and words , my satisfaction , that he who had not participated in the offence , and whose wisdom and good feeling towards the British government were well known , had been the person chosen by the Durbar as their representative for negotiating the means by which atonement might be made , and the terms on which the Sikh government might be rescued from impending destruction , by a return to amicable relations between the British government and the Lahore State .
I told the Raja aud his colleagues that Mr . Currie , the chief secretary to government , and Major Lawrence , my agent , were in full possession of my determination on the subject ; that they were in my entire confidence ; and I referred the chiefs to those officers , that they might learn from them the principles and details of adjustment which I had determined to offer for their immediate accepfaace . The chiefs remained the greater part of the night in conference with Mr . Currie and Major Lawrence ; but bsforc they separated , a paper was signed by them to the effect that all that had been demanded would be conceded , and that arrangements would bo immediately made , as far as were in the poirer of the chiefs , to carry out all the details that had been explained to them . The terms demanded and ceded are , the surrender
in full sovereignty of the territory , hill and plain , lying between tie Sutlej and the Beas rivers , and tie payment of one and a half crores of rupees as indemnity for the expenses of the war , —the disbandment of the present Sikh army , and its reorganisation on the system and regulations with regard to pay , which obtained in the time of the late Maharajah Runjeet Singh , —the arrangement for limiting the extent of the force to be henceforth employed , to be determined on in communication with the British government , —the surrender to us of all the guns that had been pointed against us , —the entire regulation and control of both banks of the river Sutlej , and such other arrangements for settling the future boundaries of * the Sikh State , and the organisation of its administration , as might be determined on at Lahore .
It was further arranged that the Maha Raja , with Bhaec Ram Singh , and ihe other Chiefs remaining at Lahore , should forthwith repair to the camp of the Governor-General , and place themselves in the hands of the Governor-General , to accompany his camp to Lalioie . I had prepared , for circulation on my arrival at Kussoor , a proclamation declaratory of my present views and intentions with regard to the Punjaub—a translation of which was giveu to Rajah Goolab Singh and his colleagues , and a copy of which is enclosed for your information . It was determined that the Maha Raja should meet me at Lulleana on the 18 th ( yesterday ) , when the camp arrived at that place . On the afternoon of the 17 th , it- was announced to me that the Maha Raja .
with Bhaee Ram Singh , and other chiefs , bad instantly , on receiving the summons from Rajah Goolab Singh , hastened from Lahore , and that they had arrived at Raja Goolab Singh ' s camp , pitched about a mile beyond our picquets , and that his Highness was ready at once to wait upon me . I considered it right to abide by the first arrangement , and I directed that it should be intimated to the Alalia Raja and tlie chiefs , that I would receive his Highness on the day appointed , at Lulleana , eleven miles in advance on the road to Lahore . Yesterday afternoon , the Maha Raja , attended by Raja Goolab Singh , Dewan Deena Nath , Fakeer Nooroodeen , Bhaee Ram Singh , and ten or twelve other chiefs , had an interview with me in my Durbar tent , where the Commander-in-Chief and staff had been invited by me to he present to receive them .
As on the occasion of Raja Goolab Singh ' s visit , I omitted the usual salute to the Maha Raja , and curtailed the other customary ceremonies on his arrival at uiy tent , causing it to be explained that , until submission had been distinctly tendered by the Maha Raja in person , he could not be recognised , and received , as a friendly prince . Submission was tendered by the minister and chiefs , who accompanied the Maha Uaja , and the pardon of the Briti-. li government was requested on such conditions as I should dictate in the most- explicit terms ; after which , 1 stated that the conditions Laving been distinctly made known to the Minister Raja Goolab Singh and the chiefs accredited with him ,
India. Close Of Thb War! [Continuedfrom ...
it was unnecessary to discuss them in that place , and in the presence of the young Maha Raja , who was of too tender an age to take part in such matters , and that , as all the requirements of the British government had been acquiesced in , and their fulfilment promised in the name of the Maha Raja and Durbar , I should consider myself justified in treating the young Maha Raja from that moment as a Prince restored to the friendship of the British government . After some remarks , regarding the fame and character of the late Maha Raja Runjeet Singh , and hope that the young Prince would follow the footsteps ofhis father , and my desire that such relations should henceforward exist between the two states as would tend to the benefit of both , I broke up the Durbar .
On his taking leave , I caused the customary presents to be made to the Maha Raja ; and , on his retiring from my tent , the usual salute was fired from our Impounders , drawn up at the bottom of the street of tents for that purpose . In the course ot discussion , ihe minister asked , if the young Maha Raja should now return to the llanee at Lahore , or if it was my desire that he should remain at my camp 1 intimating that it was for me to dispose of the young chief as I pleased , and as I might consider best for his highness ' s interests . I replied that I thought it advisable that his highness ' s camp should accompany mine , and that I should myself conduct him to his capital , which I purposed reaching in two marches , that is , by tomorrow morning .
The remains of the Sikh army , under Sirdar Tej Singh and Raja Lai Singh , on retiring from Sobraon , encamped at Raebaiu , about eighteen miles east of Lahore . They are variously estimated at from 14 , 000 to 20 , 000 horse and foot , with about thirtyfive guns . They have been positively ordered by Raja Goolab Singh to remain stationary , and the Mahomedan and Nujeeb battalions , in the interest of the minister , have been placed in the citadel , and at the gates of Lahore , with strict orders to permit no armed Sikh soldier to enter tho town .
It was intimated to me , late last night , that the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur were in great alarm at the approach of our army to the capital , and were under apprehension that those cities might be sacked and plundered by our troops . I therefore caused the proclamation , a copy of which is enclosed , to be issued to the inhabitants of those cities , informing them of the result of my interview with the Maha Raja , aud assuring them of protection , in person and property , if the Durbar acted in good faith , and no further hostile opposition was offered by the army .
On our arrival at this place ( kanha Kutchwa , about sixteen miles from the city of Lahore , and twelve from the cantonments ) , heavy firing for the best part of an hour was heard . This proved to be a salute of seven rounds from every gun in Lahore , in honour of the result of the Maha Raja's meeting with me yesterday , and in joy at the prospect of the restoration of amicable relations .
PROCLAMATION BY TIIE GOVERNORGENERAL OF INDIA . Camp , Ltjlleasee , Feb . 18 , 1816 . —The chiefs , merchants , traders , ryots , and other inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur are hereby informed that his Highness Maha Raja Dhulcep Singh has this day waited upon the Right Hon . the Governor-General , and expressed the contrition of himself and the Sikh government for their late hostile proceedings . The Maha Raja and Durbar having acquiesced in all the terms imposed by the British government , the
Governor-General having every hope that the relations of friendship will speedily be established between the two governments , the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur have nothing to fear from the British army . The Governor-General and the British troops , if the conditions above adverted to are fulfilled , and no further hostile opposition is offered by the Khalsa army , will aid their endeavours for the re-establishment of the government of the descendants of Maha Raja Runjeet Singh , and for tho protection of its subjects .
The inhabitants of the cities in the Punjaub will , in that case , be perfectly safe , in person and property , from any molestation by the British troops ; and they arc hereby called upon to dismiss apprehension , and to follow their respective callings with all confidence . By order of the Right Hon . the Governor-General of India , F . Currie , Secretary to the Government of India , with the Governor-General .

Capital V. Labour. The Discharged Wobk2i...
CAPITAL v . LABOUR . The Discharged Wobk 2 iem\—Livxhpool , Mabcu 31 . —The greatest excitement prevails here at the present time , amongst the working classes , in consequence of the unjustifiable and tyrannical conduct of the master builders . The causes which have led to this stats of things are as follows : — A dispute has been in existence at Manchester and Birkenhead ( opposite Liverpool ) between the workmen cmployed in the various building trades , and their employers ; tlie result of which is , that a good number at those places are resting from their labours , until such time as a fair remuneration is given to thorn for that labour . It appears that the Liverpool men sympathise with their
fellow-workmen , and assist to support them during the struggle , at least so say their employers ; and this , in their eyes , is a high crime and must be duly punished . As a preparatory measure , Mr . Samuel Holme , of the firm of Messrs . Samuel aud James Holme , issued a small pamphlet , and distributed it amongst their workmen . The contents are a violent tirade against Trades' Unions , and the usual clap-trap of the capitalist on the subject of political economy . The Liverpool Mercury , which cackles so much about its friendship and advocacy of the rights of the working man , was so much in lore with this precious document , that it voluntarily gave it insertion , and introduced it with a loud flourish of trumpets . In the same paper , to show its love of fair play , and to mark Its great friendship for the working man , itinserted a short
reply from the poor glass men to the charges of their employers , and only charged it as an advertisement . A few days afterwards placards appeared , announcing that a meeting had been held consisting of master builders , etc ., and that the aforesaid had a long list of grievances against their men , and that it would be necessary to adopt steps to protect—whom , thiuk you!—the employers !—No , the public ! For these wonderful men have discovered that it matters not to thera whether their men receive high or low wages , for it is the public who must pay ; and as they have a great regard for Mr . Public , they thus , unsolicited , step out in his defence , to protect the poor helpless old creature . Another meeting was held , and the result was the adoption of the following declaration , which the men were commanded to sign , or leave their work : —
" We , the undersigned , do hereby declare that wo are not , or wiU not remain , msuibers of any Trades' Unions , or of other societies , under whatever designation they may be known , which have for [ their object any interference with the rights of labour , or with the arrangements that may be entered into between employers and workmen . And we further declare , that we will not appropriate , aud , as far as wc are able , will not permit to be appropriated , for the purpose of supporting a turn-out here or elsewhere , amongst the building branches or otherwise , any sum or sums of money belonging to anysick , burial , or other society which has been established for benevolent purposes alone . "
This was presented to tho workmen last Friday and Saturday for thoir signatures . This they have absolutely refused to give , and at this moment there are not less than three thousand workmen in the building line walking our streets in consequence of their refusal . It must be borne in mind that these men have had no dispute with their employers , and they and their families are to be thus starved into compliance . Working men of all trades , it is your duty to prevent this ; their cause is your cause . Arouse , in your might , and devise a plan for the organisation of industry ; show these Quixotes that there is talent , truth , and justice amongst you ; and that you laugh at their puny efforts to become the tjrants of your fellow-men .

The Strike At Birkenhead. To Tue Editob ...
THE STRIKE AT BIRKENHEAD . TO TUE EDITOB OK THE MOBTIIEUM STAB . Sir , —In November , 1845 , the masons gave notice to their employers that they should require a » advance of two shillings per week , to commence on the lst ' of March , 134 G . You will pereoire that the notice to any one was quite sufficient time ; and we had no notice from them during the time whether they would give it or not . This we consider unfair and unjust , as it deprived us of tho opportunity of reconsidering the subject . Since the strike took place the employers of Birkenhead and Liverpool have formed themselves into a soeiety . The first meeting they held in Birkenhead was on the 11 th ult . To leave them no excuse , tho masons sent a deputation ,
requesting an interview with the employers . The deputation handed a letter to them , and requestsd an answer . In reply , the masters gave the letter to the waiter of the hotel , sending word that th « y had no answer to give . The second meeting took place on tho 13 th ult ., when another deputation waited on the employers , and two of the latter came out of the meeting and asked , in an impertinent manner , the deputation from the masons what they wanted i The masons stated that they requested an interview , in order to come to a friendly arrangement if possible . This tlie employers again refused . The public will , therefore , perceive that we have acted justly and the employers unjustly . —Correspondent ,

Thomas Lauder was called to the chair , and opened the meeting with a telling speech , and then introduced Mr .
William Daniells , editor of the Miners' Advocate , who spoke at great length , evidently to the satisfaction of the meeting ; after which the following resolutions were moved , seconded , and unanimously passed : — " That this meeting are thoroughly convinced that the Miners'Association of Great Britain and Ireland has effected great good in keeping bad masters in check , and , by carrying out the principles of union and restriction in many district ! , has improved the moral and social condition of the mining body ; therefore , we are determined to abide by the Association , and we cordially invite all miners to join us in carrying out tlio above-named nobb principles . " " That this meeting consider the conduct of Mr . Henry Jackson , coalowner , towards his workmen , to have been cruel and unjust , and we pledge ourselves , individually and collectively , to aid and assist , to the utmost of our power , our Biteabsut brethren in bringing him to justice , as we conceive their cause to be the cause of every miner in the kingdom . " " That the mooting view the conduct
of Henry Gregson , Matthew Cully , and George Hughes , Esqrs ., and of tho ltev . Christopher Robertson ( the four magistrates who refused to entertain the colliers' complaint , or grant their summonses against their masters ) , to have been partial , unconstitutional , and one-sided , and to be utterly at variance with the principles laid down in the Magna Charter and Bill of Rights ; therefore , we believe the above magistrates deserve the csnsure and reproach of all friends of justice and constitutional liberty , aud this meeting hereby pass a vote of censure upon them accordingly . " " That the memorial just read be adopted by this meeting , and that Mr . Daniells be requested to forward it to Sir James Graham , her Majesty ' s principal Secretary of State for the Home Department ; also , that a petition , founded on the same , be drawn up and sent to T .

The deposits of last week amounted to C 1 C , 571 francs , and the sum withdrawn was 917 , 572 francs .
Extraordinary Discovery ox tub River . —A most extraordinary discovery was made at an early hour on Wednesday morning on the river , which gave rise to a report that a man had been dreadfully mutilated in the neck , and whilst in a dyingjstate had been thrown into the Thames . Upon making inquiries , it was ascertained that between twelveand one , as one of the Thames Police was passing down the river , his attention was directed to one of the floating buoys near Irongate-stairs , by perceiving a man clinging to it , who had his throat out in a most dreadful manner . The constable immediately made over to the man , aud having got him into his boat , he conveyed him ashore , and afterwards to Guy ' s hospital , where he was questioned as to who he was , and how ho came by the injury in the throat . The poor fellow , upon making an attempt to speak , was prevented by the excessive hemorrhage . The
medical gentlemen of the hospital having attended to the man , the wound was dressed ; but little or no hopes are entertained of his recovery . During the afternoon , Captain Hopper , of the brig Bcauiont , belonging to Newcastle , attended at the hospital , and identified the injured man as being his brother . lie ( Captain Hopper ) says that his brother went to bed on board the brig the preceding night , and nothing was heard of him afterwards until the next morning , when he found a bloody razor in the ship , and heard tliat a niau answering his description had been picked up with his throat cut . The captain says that he has no doubt his brother first cut his own throat and a'terwards plunged into the river . He also says that on a previous occasion he niado an attempt to destroy his life . The unfortunate man wrote upon a slate iu the hospital , yesterday afterimn , to the effect ;— " That he had been a miraculous man , but would be better for the future . "

LONDON . TIIE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . m Emends , — According to tho third rule of the Association , an annual Convention should be held on the 20 th of the present month , for the purpose of transacting the general business of the body ; and , in pursuance of said rule , we issued our address , convening such Convention to hold its sittings in Leeds , and to meet on the above date . But since issuing that address , circumstances have arisen , which , in our judgment , render it imperative to postpone its sittings until some later period , to be decided by tlie dissolution of Parliament , which wc anticipate will be the result of tho present measures of" the government . The editor of the Northern Star lately , in a leading articlesugcested the propriety of holding a " National
Convention ; " so that , m the event oi a dissolution of Parliament , we may have a representation of the working-classes to take tlie field in defence of the cause of ' iabour , andto prevent its enemies from turning popular feeling to the advancement of anything short of the People ' s Charter . Wc have received resolutions from the principal localities approving of this suggestion , and calling upon us to adopt it ; and as it is probable that the fate of the measure of the Ministers will be known about the time when it was intended to hold the Annual Convention , the only departure from rule will be that it will be a national one , and may not meet until some time after the 20 th , and , instead of being held at Leeds , will assemble in London . The time of assemblage will be decided by the Executive Committee ; and should there not arise a necessity for the meeting of such a body , the " Annual Convention " will be held as originally intended .
We , therefore , instruct the councils in tlie several localities where elections have not already taken place , to proceed at on « e to the election of delegates , who are to hold themselves in readiness to assemble in London or Leeds , as circumstances may render necessary . 0 . Doyle , T . CliABK , P . M'Gbatu , F . O'Connor , T . M . Wheeler , Secretary .
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTIST CO-OPERATIVE LAND SOCIETY . Friends , —We feel pleasure commingled with pride in directing your attention to the receipts of the Society for the last fortnight , as set forth in the Star . They speak most eloquently and convincingly as to the progress which our glorious Land movement is making . Intelligence pours in upon us from all quarters , of the most cheering nature . Large additions are daily made to it ; it is extending with a rapidity which astounds its most ardent admirers . It bids fair to become , at no distant period , one of the most powerful confederations of working men that ever existed in this or any other nation . Mr . O'Connor is at present travelling through the north of England to view several estates there for sale ; he will , nodoubt , make a purchase ere lie returns , so that we shall have two estates to allot on the day of balloting , which will be on Easter Monday , at the Carpenters ' Hall , Manchester .
We have , friends , taken an office in an excellent situation , which we are convinced will prove a great benefit to the Society . Indeed , we have already experienced its advantages in the number of individuals who have visited it for tho purpose of taking out shares . "We have taken several other effective steps in order to give the widest publicity to the existence and objects of our noble institution . Friends , \ V 9 now call your attention to an important resolution passed by the late Land Conference , to the effect that a Loan Society should bo established in connection with th « Land movement , the profits of which should be added to the capital for the purchase of land , & c . The mibscriptions upon the shares not being intended for tho purpose , it is indispensable that funds be borrowed . Many circumstances have tended to prevent us from establishing
the Loan Society , which are now removed . We are fully impressed with the value and importance of the institution , and are therefore resolved to put it into active operation immediately . But to do bo the means are required . We have decided upon giving 5 per cent , upon all monies advanced for the purptse of the Loan Society . Those members , therefore , who have money to lend , who approve the amount of per centagc offered , and the Society ' s security , will forward immediately to Mr . O'Connor the suras they are willing to advance . Members lending to the Society will be doubly advantaged—first , in the receipt of the interest ; and secondly , in the increase of the Society's property . Fharous O'CoN . toit . Thomas Clark .
Christopher Doyle . Philip M'Gbatb . Thomas Martin Wheeler . Sec . The Executive Committee beg to state , that owing to the press of business consequent upon the approaching ballot , and from the fact of two of its members leaving town on Monday morning , that their time will be so engaged that they cannot attend any meetings to lecture on Sunday evening .

We are further of opinion that tho election of the Executive be left to the whole of the members . ' ' Mr . Briggs proposed'' That Mr .
