      Sometime Ago'the Editor Of The Times New...

      Sometime ago'the editor of the Times newspaper was pleased to notice our institution in the columns of that paper , in which he designated u « as a "monsterassociation . " Wc have a curiosity to know if this appellation was ' applied to us exclusively as a noun of multitude ; if so , will admit that we are a very numerous body , and we will return him measure for measure , by freely admitting that the numerous extent of his circulation , and , consequently , the multitude of his readers , equally entitle his or ^ an to the character of a " monster

      newsp * per ; " but ifthc editor of the Times meant to say fiat there is anythin ? monstrous , or that it was contrary to the ' ordinary nature of business , that w irking ra ? n . having a unity of purpose , should also hive unity of consent and operation , and that they should act noon the same principles and by the same means as other classes of men , for the le « al and peaceable attainment of their common objects , such as the numerous members of the Chambers of Commerce , Shipowners' Societies , Agricultural Societies . Society of Arts . Royal Society for the promotion of Science . & c ., Ac . ; if to refuse to the working classes ( he right to concentrate their efforts in the tame manner as the members of the above institutions , be the object of the Time * editor , we must then tell him

      ' that such an effort on his part to deter the working men from exercising the same rights that are enjoyed by their more affluent countrymen , justly entiMe him to the character of an antt-plii ' o-monster . Wo have not immediate access to the number of the Times in which the remarks alluded to appeared , consequently we cannot quote the words ; part of tl . ero , however , were to the effect , that if tho disputes arising between masters and servants were allowed to remain with the parties themselves , they would soon become settled , but to introduce a "foreign power" ( meaning , of course , the mediation of our Association ) , the chances of success would be very doubtful . Xow , we ask , are the chances of success in tho case and proceedings of the nailers

      befoiementinncd more doubt nl in ultimately arriving at an amicable understanding , than if the * orkmen were not under the influence of an institution composed of members of their own order as working men , having the same interests to _ support , and from amongst whom are selected mediators possessing intelligence and experience in the concerns of their own business affairs ; orwould tbe differences between them and their masters be settled more to the wishes of : hjanti-philo-monstcr , if the most inconsiderate and precipitate of the workmen , acting under mistaken impressions of unmerited wrong being exercised towards them , should , iu a moment of excitement , commit themselves by the commission of some violation of the law towards their employers , as has

      been the case on former occasions , when such disputes were left to the parties themselves to settle , and thereby render themselves liable to the penal law ? If the editor of the Times has not been successful in influencing the nailers to act upon their own responsibility , and according to the dictates of their individual judgment , which , in all probability , might have led to such results , or else to remain under the impression of suffering an unjust wrong , he may perhaps console himself that he has done h : s Itest endeavours to effect his object , and therefore claim the credit due to best endeavours , which he is justly entitled to ; and . in like manner , weshall claim on behalf of our association ' s influence , that having done our endeavours to effect an amicable and equitable negotiation , according to tho circumstances of 'he case , and which wc hope to arrive at ; but

      having done our best , avid the means wehave adopted being calculated to prince that effect , should it so happen , even contrary to our expectation , that our efforts should fail , by either party refusing to abide by our final decision , weshall claim credit for having adopted the best means to produce the best effects that the circumstances of the case would admit of ; on which point we play quits with the anti-philoeditor . We bave only to repeat that all our assweiatiott ' s efforts are directed to effect the greatest happiness of tho greatest number , by the most legal , peaceable and equitable means ; but we fearlessly assert that in future , as long as we have a portion of the public press allotted to the advocacy of our cause , we will not tamely submit to be misrepresented without rebutting whatever may be published against us erroneously .

      The Centra ! Committee of the above asseriafion heldthcirusual wceklv meeting on Monday last . T . S . Duncombe , E « q , M . I ' ., in the chair . After the usual preliminary business was gone through , and an immense mass of correspondence read , a deputation waited upon the committee from the Paper Makers of Maidstone , for instructions , rules , & c ., as they arc appointed by the seat of government at Maidstone , to visit the whole of their district mills respecting internal organization ; and will , at tbe same time , advocate and explain the principles and objects of the National Association .

      A deputation also waited upon the committee , from the Surrcv block printers , explaining to them a dispute had occurred between them « md their employers , respecting an arrangement that would amount to a reduction . Mr . Alien was appointed to proceed to Crayford in Kent , and take one of their members with him , to see the men and ascertain the justness of the men ' s position , and also to see the employer , if necessary . Messrs . Green and R . obson were appointed a deputation to wait upon the ladies' shoe makers of the West-.-nd of London , who have decided upon calling an aimasse meeting for the purpose of discussing the question of the National Association . Mr . Williamson reported he had been to visit the silk pickers of Bedford , nrar Manchester , who had power to set to work or support the silk pickers in the cmplay of Mr . I ' ownall , should he find the representation of the men correct ; was happy to find all the men at work : returned to Manchester , had an interview

      with . Messrs . Kelly and Giimour ' s men ; found them labouring under very severe jirievanees , but nufortu * » atcly were ineligible to support . The employers , it appears , ' a' discharged a man named Donnellan . who had been in their employ five years , in consequence of his taking ' an active part in trades union matters . The tyrants did not let it rest here , they put the ban upon him ; when he succeeded in gaining employment for any other firm , the Messrs . Kelly , or some of their tools immediately put themselves in communication with his new employer , telling them he was an active trades unionist , and consequently a disturber . The consequence in all cases was his immediate discharge . He then , in company with Mr . Peel , proceeded to Wi ' mslow , had an interview with the ii .-ihd-Ioom weavers of that place ; found that a Mr . Holt was compelling some of his men to make the pieces from six to seven yards longer than they had been in the habit of leaking them . It w ; is then

      resolved" That Mr . Peel be instructed to see the employer , and if possible induce him to desist from so unfair a practice . ** It was alss resolved" That the man Donnellan , upon the statement of Mr . Williamson , be supported by the association , " Mr . Bush reported that he waited on Mr . Woodey , the brother-in-law of Mr . Hoil ' ms , at Stockport , relctive to the men on strike , but that person would not eo into the merits-of the question , but said . &; iliey ( the firm ) had received » letter from Mr . Marslaod , M . P ., they should send him the information he required . On Saturday he visited Rochdale , and foiled the carpenters in go « . d spirits , and the number on ctrike considerably reduced . The fustian cutters ( 158 ) af that district , paid hint their levies and contributions . On Sundav lie attended a

      meeting of cottoa epiuscrs , 37 delegates representin ;; ti . 000 men . On Monday he attended a uicet ' uig of fustinn cutters at Cadished , when they passed a reeoltitieu to join , with 2 dissentients ( 130 in number ); he afterwards met the tinplate workers of WolverhaiaptOH , the nailers of DudS' -y , Netherton , Lye , and Cratficy , the sock hands of Oadby in Leicesttr . -hire . and having waited on the employers ( Messrs . Sturgessand Howard } , they at first denied that they had made a reduction , but they then admitted it , and said they would pay the old prices , if the majority of the masters were paving it , or they could not prove that their price was the best ; but , by a letter from Oadby this morning , he found that directly he left , the masters singled out seven of the men , and refused tkein any I more work at cny price , so the Central Committee

      resolved" That the men be employed by the association as soon as possible , and that they receive pay for this week , till I heir frames were ready . " The case of the Tkurmaston Sock Hands also came on in due form , and is under the consideration of the committee . POTTERIES . —Mr . J . W . Parker , missionary to the association , attendee' a meeting of the operative tailors of ilanley and Bnrslem , at ihe Star Inn , Marsh-street , Slielton . tor tho purpose of explaining the princip ' es of the association . lie was listened to with breathless attention , while he descanted at great length upon the operations oi the United Tailors' Protection Society , which had been instrumental in pourtraying a greater amount of statistical information as to the depressed and degraded state of the trade than any previous union ; : ]

      indeed , their condition had been made known by the press generally , from one end of the kingdom to the other , and a vast amouut of public sympathy bad been expressed , and some of the largest meetings ever held in the trade , and of ihe public also , had passed resolutions in favour of the necessity of improved sanatory regulations , as regarded employing the operative tailors in clean and well-ventilated workshops , as one of tbe surest means of destroying the monster evil—sweating ; indeed , the greatest exertions had been made by the Protection Society during the last three years , but . ofn o avail , except demonstrating the fact , that , as an isolated body , the operative tailors of England are powerless-tor this reason that there is an overstocked labour-market , which can never be absorbed but by the carrying into effect the associative ov self-eraploymentprmciple . as « et forth by the National Association of i , \ ' < < ( ' 1 <

      Sometime Ago'the Editor Of The Times New...

      United Trades . The lecturer demonstrated the power the tailors would achieve by being associated with their brethren of other trades throughout the kingdom , inasmuch as they ( the trades ) were , indirectly , the means ef perpetuating and up holding the cheap tailoring establishments ; therefore , ol all trades , the tailors were deeply interested in the progress of the " monster association , " as they would be enabled , under the arrangements of the association , to open clothing establishments in various parts of the kingdom ttnd thus release themselves from the grasp of the Moses' , the Hyams ' , the Samuels , the foxes and the wolves , who devour , in the shape of profits , the havd-earncd wages of labour . Mr . l . explained also the past proceedings of the association , its origin and present prospects , toitlie infinite satisfaction of his audience , and concluded an aiuucss of nearly two hours and-a-halfamid loud cheers .

      , Several questions having been put and answered satisfactorily , a committee was appointed to present a statistical account of the proceedings ot the lianiey and Burslem Tailors' Society during the last three years , and a meeting to be called oni loo-Uay , the 9 th of March , then and there to decide upon forming part of the " United Trades , " resolutions approving of the principles of the association ; and thanks to the missionary and the chairman were passed unanimously . , .. , . „ On Wednesday evening , Mr . Parker attended a general inciting " of potters at the Christian brethren ' s niccting-room , Stoke . He fully explained the obiccts of his mission , and a resolution was unanimou ' sly adopted as follows : — " That this meeting

      having heard the able and eloquent exposition ot the principles and obiccts of the National Association ot United Trades , pledge ourselves to organise ior future meetings , and during the intervals that wc labour lo disseminate the principles among our fellow-operatives , and induce them , to attend . " Votes ot thatilcs were then passed to tho lecturer and chairman . On Thursday evening , February 25 th , Mr . Parker addressed a meeting of the China painters and gilders , at the Royal Oak Inn , Ilanley . Some doubts having been expressed that the above branch of the pottiug business being of an artificial nature , that the reproductive or self-employment principle could not be made effective in their case , Mr . Parker fully and clearly showed to the meeting that it was equally

      applicable in their case as in other trades ; in the first p lace , by increasing the means of consumption , which the association aimed at , working men as well as others would require their productions , and would have them , as the very operations of this association went to create a spirit of emulation , which wouldonhance the condition of the higher class of trades , because , if the mea-s of consumption to the working classes were incrca = cd , they would necessarily be enabled to have better food—better clothing—and more of it , and their habitations would be better furnished than now ; secondly , he instanced the fact that other trades of a similar character had alnady started tor

      themselves , and found no difficulty in finding a markct for their goods , even among the higher orders and middle classes of society ; but as the operatives are now situated , living from hand to mouth , they are precluded altogether from purchasing the productions of such goods as are created by the China painters and gilders . Mr . Parker exhibited samples of the productions of those trades that were employed by the association . Resolutions highly approving ol the principles , and a determination of joining forthwith , were unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was passed to the missionary . Since the meeting , upwards of one hundred names , we understand , have been sent in to form a lodge .

      On Friday , a meeting of delegates of those trades favourable to the association , was held at the New Market Inn , Ilanley . A district meeting was forrfied , and Mr . lluraphrtes unanimously appointed district secretary . The delegates will meet for the future , on each Tuesday evening . On Saturday evening Mr . Parker attended a meeting of crate makers at Longton . He entered iiitoa detailed account of the position and prospects of the National Association of United Trades , and was ably assisted at this and the other meetings by the much respected district secretary , Mr . Humphries . A resolution in approval of the views of the association was carried unanimously , and a delegate appointed to attend the district meeting on Tuesday , with the amount necessary to lie sent to the Central CuKiiniUcc for their adhesion . After a vote of thanks to--Messrs . Humphries and Parker , the meeting separated .

      In consequence of the objects and principles of the association having , by the visitsot the missionary , become better understood in tne Potteries generally , there was a considerable accession of members to the New Market Tavern lodge on Saturday night ; and notwithstanding the extreme depression in the potting business , there seems to be a re-action in favour of union throughout the districts . May it continue , and the operatives generally be led to see that the real germs of protection arc contained in the National Association ol United Trades for the Protection of Industry and the Employment of Labour !

      AllKRDKEN , Tuesday Evening . —A public meeting of the trades was held in the National Temperance Hall , George-street , when Mr . Jacobs delivered a lecture on the general grievance of the working class , and the National Trades Association ' s remedies . The lecturer , commenced about 8 o'clock' , and entered with much effect into tbe question , and concluded by showing the worker ' s way to wealth , drawing forth the general approbation of the meeting . At the close the following resolution was carried unanimously : — That wc np prove of the plan of tlie National Association as now set forth , and agree to use our endeavours to forward the snuie , —thatfurther meetings he convened to discuss the subject of joining the same .

      DUNDEE , Wednesday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs attended the general meeting of the shipwrights in Peter-street 11 all , to give further information and answer questions relative to the Association . Mr . Jacobs introduced his five propositions of advantages that appeared in last week's " Star , " substantiating them with facts and arguments . A few questions were asked by several members , and some good speeches delivered in support , of the plan of the National Association . No opposition was offered , and the most perfect brotherly fouling was evinced throughout , ; ind the following resolution was carried unanimously : — That we , the shipwrights , being fully convinced of the efficiency of the National Trades Association , do hereby join from the 1 st day of March .

      A vote of thanks was passed to the missionary , who returned thanks and retired , as the meeting continued to make the necessary arrangements for paving the first month's subscriptions . Thursday evening , Mr . Jacobs met the Plasterers , the Clotlr ' Lappers and Packers , when after a most pleasing inquiry into the plan of the Association , those bodies agreed to Join forthaith .

      MANCHESTER . — Mr . Peel reported that ho attended a meeting of fustian-cutters , miners , and others , at ifarrowgate-brow , near Rochdale , on the 22 nd ultimo . A numerous and attentive audience listened with evident satisfaction to the explanations offered by Mr . Peel , showing the superiority of the National Association , as a means of r . msing the wording classes of every denomination from their present depressed condition . He showed how the profits arising from the manufacturing operations of the Employment Association would swell their funds in a progressive ratio , and cnablo the directors gradually to extend their operations until a time would arrive—not so far off , perhaps , as some might imagine—when every cotton mill , with its elaborate and

      extensive machinery , would be in their hands , and exercising its gigantic powers for the advantage , and not to the injury , of the sons and daughteis of toil , lie showed the blessings which A'ould follow the working-nut our object . lie illustrated to his hearers the perfect reliance of one trade upon another . If ( says he ) the working classes , by the union , arm the Board of Directors with the necessary funds , by taking shares in the company , what difficulty will there be for the Association to weave , cut and dye their own fustian ? what then to prevent our unemployed tailors from making up these into jackets , troiuers , & c . These goods would then come into the retail market , through the shops and stores of the association ; in every large town in the kingdom , the

      members would naturally be customers to their own shops , and the present enormous profits exacted by the Moses' and Hyame' wolves and foxes , and all such tribes , who are now destroying that important trade , would be appropriated to the extension ot this mightv movement , until every trade in its turn would ' feel the benefits of increased employment and improved wages . Each branch would find their powers of production increasing , in an equal ratio with their means of consuming . Is it possible , asked Mr . Peel , for the most strenuous efforts of the best constituted isolated trades union ever to accomplish results like these ? He knew that there could be but one answer to this question , the meeting pronounced it an emphatic . No . lie then finished his address amidst the applause of the meeting .

      On Tuesday night he attended a meeting of the hands of Messrs . Kellv and Gilmour , cotton spinners of Manchester , relative to a » expected reduction threatened by that firm . He listened to the partieulavs of the case , cautioned the hands , in all they did , to avoid any infringement cither of the laws ot the associatiun or the laws of the land , otherwise they would deprive the Central Committee of the power of serving them . The best feeling was manilcsled ; a vote of thanks was given to Mr . Peel for his services on that occasion , and also as a deputation to Kelly and Gilmoar upon other grievances , which had to a great extent been removed through his intervention , during the remainder of the week , Mr . l ' cel was engaged , in connection with Mr . Williamson of the Central Committees in Manchester , Leigh , Winslovt , and Stockport , upon several missions of delicacy and importance .

      WOUSII 1 P . STH . EF . T . —Curiods Case or Robbery . — On Monday , Frederick If owe iv . u re-examined b . fore Mr . Broaghton , on a charge of havingstolen fifty yards of valuable carpet from Mr . Timothy ' s carpet ' warehouse in Shoreditch , anil William Howe , his brother , who then kept a small butcher ' s shop in the neighbeurhood , was charged with having feloniously received the property . The piece of carpet was proved to have been carried to the premises of William Howe , the butcher , who afterwards quitted his shop and disappeared . His brother Frederick , who hod been the prosecutor ' s errand-boy , had absconded immediately after the robbery , and it wao subsequently ascertained that ho and a companion , named Nichols , who was said to have actually cirned off the carpet , started to Hull , but in about three wcelis ,

      having squandered their ill-gotten money , they returned to the neighbourhood of Peckham , where Frederick scraped . acquaintance with a young servant girl , whom they persuaded to quit hur situation , and accompany them to Jersey . IVJrle they were waiting , however , for the girl to receive her wages , on which they depended for travelling expenses , Policeman Halton of the P division , took Frederick into custody , but the other , Nichols , unfortunately escaped . The prisoner , William . Howe , was afterwards apprehended , and he admitted that a piece of c ; irpet had been brought to his house as described , but asserted that lie did not know nho brought it there , nor what became of it . It was in evidence , however , that he had himself off .-red it for sale . Mr . Broughton committed both prisoners for trial .

      CLERKENWELL . —Police Doings . —Ou Tuesday last Mr . Wm . liacon , the proprietor of the Free Trade Coffeehouse , Gray ' s Inn-lane , appeared to a summons at the instance of the police ( ft division ) , charging h m with having permitted disorderly conduct in his house , contrary to the statute , & c . Mr . Duncombe , the solicitor , attended for the defendant , and said that , on tlie 10 th of February , the police entered the house of his client , when a purson named Martin inteifered with them , and tie was taken into custody on a charge of assaulting them in the execution of their duty , and it was alleged that ou the way 'O the station house the officers struck andkieked him in an unnecessary and violent manner . He was locked up , and on being brought before Mr . Combe on the following morning , ' Martin exhibited a black eye , and w ; ih in a very feeble condition . The witnesses for Martin

      stated that the police wantonly rolled him in the snow , & c when Mr . Combo would not decide upon the charges summarily , but preferred sending the matter to be tried by a jury , and admitted Martin to bail , to appear at the Sess ons . Since then a complaint had been made to the Commiss ' voTitrs oi Police against the officers for misconduct . Very soon after this complaint , the present summons was taken out against his client , and as the former charge against Martin was to be tried at the Sessions , he , Mr . Duncombe , respectfully submitted that the hearing o ( the present complaint against the defendant ought to stand over until Martin ' s ease was decided upon at the Sessions . Mr . Combe would not accede to a postponement of the case , as it would be granting a tort of licence to the defendant to act with impunity until the case was tried at the sessions . The case might be proceeded with , and if there was anything in it that rendered a postponement necessary they might depend upon it he would do every justice to all parties . Alter hearing evidence , Mr .

      Combe said , I don ' t see how 1 can proceed further with the case . The defendant is charged in the summons for " unlawfully and knowingly permitting or suffering disorderly conduct in his house . " The police are called in to interfere , and he ( defendant ) called upon them to turn the parties out , which they refused to do , and left the place . Mr . Duncombe : A y , Sir ; although they actually saw an assault or breach of the peace committed , they would not clear the house or lake the parlies into custody . Mr . Combe : Why , what the police prove is quite the reverse of that which they allege . Air . Duncombe : The police seem to act under a very extraordinary misunderstanding of the law , that they must not interfere with what takes place inside a house . A licensed victualler , the other day , was nearly killed in his own bous bet-au-tthi : police would not interfere ; yet , by the sumo law , they were empowered to enter every respectable licensed victualler ' s house whenever they thought proper . No gentleman was safe in his own house under such a state ol

      things . He mentioned au instance where a party broke into a house and took away stolen property , and because the thief told the police that it was a question of lijh botwuen debtor and creditor , the police would notiiittifere . After some further conversation Mr . Combe said he would dismiss the case . Heavv Pthalties . —G . Smith was charged , at this instance of the Excise , with having unlawfully in his possession a quantity of itlicitspirits , without-a peixaft , contrary to the statute of fith Geo . IV \ , chap . 80 , which subjected him to a penalty of £ 100 , ov sis months' imprisonment . It appear , d that some Excise officers w . re searching a house- in Bullock-alley , Whitecross-street , St . Luke ' s , where "jigger" spirits were sold . A knock came at the door , which being opened , the prisoner was found with a basket enntainin ; three bladders , in which were five

      gallows of illicit spirits . The prisoner had no permit , and he was taken to the station house . On inquiry , at 4 , Clark-court , which address the prisoner gave , he was found not te be living there , but at No . 1 ) , George ^ stieet , C . iuiberwcll , where the officers discovered n private still at work , which they seized . A turnpike ticket was found iu ilic prisoner ' s possession , from which it was evident that he must , just before his apprehension , have driven through the Geren Man gate , near Camberwell . — Mr . Greenwood convicted the prisoner in the penalty of £ M 0 , or six months' imprisonment , leaving him , if he thought proper , to apply to the Commissioners of Excise . THAMES — SiscutAft Hallucination . — -OnTuesday last , Mr . Joseph A-iscuder applied to Mr . Yardhy for his advice under the following circumstances . He stated that some months since a woman and her son occupied

      the house , No . 37 , Chapel-street , St . Georg ^' s-in-thc-East , belonging to applicant ' s father-in-law . As far back ns eight weeks since tbe woman died ; and her son , who entertained ( notwithstanding the appearances of decomposition that presented themselves ) the strange defusion tll . 'lt his mother was not dead , refused most positively , in defiance of the wishes of the neighbours , to have tho corpse interred . Applicant had himself seen the body , which was absolutely covered with a blue mould . The party complained of also refused to pay any rent or to quit tlie premises . —Mr . Yardley thought it would bu most proper for the parochial authorities to interfere . In his opinion they mi ^ lit remove this as well ns any other nuisance ; or , if the nuisance wire not removed , they might indict the party offending at the Old Railcy .

      t MOW-STHEET . —On Tuesday , two respectable looking men , named William Jenkins ani Frederick Williamson , were brought before Mr . J ; u \ line , charged "ith li .-iving attempted to obtain goods by false pretences . Mr . Prcw , clothier , of High Holborii , said on Monday the two prisoners came into his shop mid picked out articles of clothing , in payment of which Williamson tendered a cheque purporting to be drawn by Charles Kionaird , in favour of Williamson on Messrs . Ransom of Pall-mall , He told them lie was not in the habit of taking cheques , except from persons whom he knew . Williamson said he lived ut 31 , Graj ' s-inn-road , and wrote that address on the back of the bill , lie then said to Williamson , he

      would send to the bank , and having sent his clerk , the prisoners went away . When he returned he told witness that there were no effects at Messrs . Ransom ' s . Soon after his return , Jenkins came in and asked for his change and parcel . Told him he thought all was not right . C ' . ilkd a constable and gave him into custody . Williamson came also some short time afterwards , and he gave him into custod y . William Stroud , shopman to Mr . Prew , said he presented the cheque at Mrs . Ransoin ' s , and was told there were no effects . Mr . Jnrdine said this was a serious charge , and ought to be fully in . quired into . He should remand both prisoners , to enable the police tomake inquiries , and for theproduction of the clerk from Messrs . Ransom ' s

      The Desperate Assault on Mb . Uhqhiiaht hi Major Besiowski . —On Wednesday , Dartholoinewlleni . otvksi , better known as Major Iliniowski , of 8 , Bowstreet , a teacher of " Artificial Memary , " & c , was charged with a vioh nt assault on Mr . D . Ui quliart , at the public meeting for Poland on Tuesday last . Mr . Ainsy , a barrister , appeared to prefer the complaint ; and Mr . Wolff , from the office of Mr . Haines , for the defendant . Mr . l / rquhart , the complainant , who appeared in the witness-bos with his nose and face much lacerated , stated that he attended a public meeting , held at the Freemasons Tavern , the previous afternoon , upon the subject ol Cracow . He left the hall between five and six o ' clock , and was approaching the vestibule , when a person whom

      he did not know , and whom he now recognised as the defendant , came op to him and requested an interview . On stating his name to bo Beniowski , he ( Mr . I ' rquhnri ) passed ou towards the door , being accompanied by the Rev . Hamilton Gray . In a moment afterwards he was grasped violently at the back of the neck , and , dropping his chin and stooping to evade what he thought an attempt to throttle him , his face was lacerated , and ho was pulled down . Ho was presently relieved from the grasp , but he knew not how , and instantly saw that his assail , ant was the defendant , lie knew nothing of him , and had had no previous communication with him . Crossexamine *—Had been about live mouths in London , residing In Claiges-strect , Piccadilly . Was tho author of the pamphlet produced , and wrote the extract marked therein , The following was the passage referred to : —

      Marlboroucif.Street. — Jcvenile Iioi-Seb...

      " There have been a * cnts seized in your own territory . You have discussed despatches and communications of the most alarming description ; these events have taken place aud are known , and not one max at this present moment lain custody , and no explnnalions between the two governments have taken place . Ho w can you account for that ? There is a Polish Jew named Deniowski ; he is one of a class of men employed throughout tho whole of Central Asia at the present moment . This man has been engaged in fomenting insurrections in Tmkey ; he has been connected with Egypt ; he comes to this country with a previous knowledge of those means of action , and is organizing conspiracies in this country , as tha agent of tho Russian , and the spy of the English government . "

      In reference to the above extract , the complainant admitted that he was the writer of it . He did not make the statements from any personal knowledge of Heniowski , bat from what was generall y said and understood respecting him . Re-examined . — Tho date of the pamphlet was 1840 . He had some kn » wled gc of the defendant ' s character in 1839 , during the Chartist at'itntions , njhan'he ( Mr . ITi-qubart ) was in frequent communicatiftwhvitfo a metropolitan constituency . The Rev . j , Hamilton Gray stated , that he is a clergjmAn oi the church of England , and his chief residence was at Balsoner Castle , iu Derbyshire . He was at present living in Piccadilly . He had heard tlio statements of Mr , Urquharr , and could corroborate his eiidence in every particular , having been in his company the whole time . The witness evinced considerable excitement in

      cross-examination , and observed that he was not to be browbeaten , although he wjs merely asked if he was a friend of the complainant , Jus . Hay , the servant of Mr . Urijuhart , who was also present , corroborated tbe pieceding evidence , and stated , that he followed Beniowski back into the hall after tho assault , and gave him in charge . The defendant then addressed the court on his own behalf . He » aid , he had no intention to plead " Not Guilty" to this charge . He { defendant ) was aware In his serious position , and henceho craved tbe attention of t '' fl court to a short history of his case—relying on

      his character , well known in tha neighbourhood ( where he had reside 1 many years ) for the credit to bo given to his statement . He had heard of Mr . Urquhart many years ago , and had greatly admired his writings and public ixertions in the cause of the Poles , until , in 1810 , his attention was drawn te the extraordinary imputation upon his ( defendant ' s ) character , contained in the pamphletproduccd . Ha at once believed there was some mistake , and felt anxious to obtain an explanation . With this object in view , bo applied to the publishers of tbe pamphlet , but could not learn the residence of the author . From time to time he was referred

      to Duke-street , to the Travelers' Club , the Union and other clubs , but was still unable to meet with him . The effect of the imputation on his character was his utter ruin , and it was only by a s-vcrc struggle that he was enabled to recover bis position ; for while others could treat Mr , Urqubart ' s charges with contempt , he was seriously affected by them . Lately he heard that the complainant was connected with the Morning Post , but he was still unable to see him ; and afterwards , on tilling a traveller that he wanted to meet him , his rtply was , " I wish you may get him . The peopleof Glasgow ha \ e placarded tbe walls for him , and would be glad to see him also . " At length , while sitting in the hall i n Wednisday afternoon , he unexpectedly heard the chairman

      announce Mr . Urquhau ' s name and being determined to get a personal explanation he followed bira into the vestibule , aud politely requested on interview with him . The moment he mentioned his name , however , Mr . Uiquhart treated him with the utmost contempt ; he fell determined to speak to him , and tried to detain him for that purpose—without intending , however , to inflict any injury on his person , which must have been caused by the rings on his finders er his coat buttons . The defendant concluded a long sp .-ech by declaring his adherence to the Polish cause , and his abhorrence and indignation of the groundless calumny of Mr . Urquhart , whose name was not more hated in Russia than his ( defendant ' s ) own .

      Mr . Henry then committed the defendant for trial at the Middlesex Sessions , subsequently accepting bail for his appearance to answer the charge .

An important communication ( from Paris ) respecting the Prussian Constitution was read , after whio ' i the discussion was commenced on "The American National Reform Movement , fur the establishment of a Landed Democracy . "

      Charles Keen said , this movement showed that political franchise ; secured to the Americans by their revolution , had failed to establish social justice ; hence the necessity of social reform . He admired the views seemingly entertained by the American reformers , as regarded the equality of the sexes , and the security of the homestead from the evasping clutch of the usurer ; hut he objected that 1 ( J 0 acres was too much land to allot to one individual , or one family ; he also objected to tho holders of the land having the power to scU their farms , He thought tho land should not be bought nor sold .

      Cam . SciuwEi ) considered tho American agitation l defective . _ The land should belong to the people , , and not to individuals . One hundred and sixty acres s was too much to give to one man . Under such n . system , large as America was , there would come a % time when there would bo no laud for the new v comers , unless the farms were subdivided ; and the e evils of subdivision wcic indisputable . He wished d the earth to be cultivated in common . Instead of if isolating each family , lie wished the land of the e American townships to be cultivated by all . for all , 1 , Egotism was the curse of the human race : this curse : e would be augmented by giving each man his own n piece of ground . Let the land be the property of the le state , and all labour and all enjoy , and egotism would Id disappear .

      John Mot believed that while the land was held as , 13 individual property , equality was impossible . All . 11 partial vetorma were objectionable , because the par- irties benefited by such reforms became Conservatives . ' 3 . The American reformers should go the whole length th in demanding that the land should be made national lal property . The rental of the land should defray all all the expenses of the state ; if this was done taxes ; es would not be needed . Buildings should be nationalial property , as well as land . Railways , gas-works ,. ^ ,, water-wai-ks , & e ., should be the property of the stataata

      At present the public were plundered by privateate companies and profit-mongers , to a much gventer . ter extent than by the government and mere tax-eaters , rs . Georuk William Wiiikler disputed the doc-loctrine that partial reforms were objectionable . No Noi doubt Communism , or the state of things desired by by / friend Schapper , was the great end of progress ; but butt the objects of the American reformers contemplateditedl a transition state , and their movement , in his hisi opinion , was calculated to produce the happiesMestl results .

      On the motion of J . Overton and Carl Schapper ^ er ,, the discussion was adjourned to the next meeting olg ol ' the society , on Monday evening , March 15 th : J .: J „ Overton to open the discussion . George W . Wheeler was then elected chairman fori fore the next meeting , and the proceedings terminated , jd . [ Ike above report merely indicates the argumentaentii ol tho speakers . The discussion promises to be very very interesting and useful . At the next meeting the th ( i election ot members , and other business , will be sdie so expedited as to ensure the commencement of the tho discussion by half-past S o ' clock . The chair to btto bo taken at S . l
