France. Lord Palmerston Lias Become An O...
FRANCE . Lord Palmerston lias become an oracle for the FrenciijournaUsU . The weaknessof England , viewed with regard to iter means for resisting an invasion froui France , is accepted npon his lordship ' s word as 3 a undeniable truth . The Steele , following the ifuiwnot , harps « pan this pleasant theme . This paper states thatm strong was the conviction that it < x « ildhe sifidseoe to take up a plan abandoned by SatnActm ls « s < d £ ib * t the best informed Frenchman Wild not Imre dreamed of the possibility of invading JJnglandhad net the apprehensions expressed upon She subject fev sack statesmen as Lord Palmerston jemorcd the veil from the eyes of the most incredulous . " Yes , " proceeds this popular organ , " it is
-established that France may grapple witli her ancient rival npon her own ssfl . " * It is not our intention to jacet bravado withiravado ; to do so " would not suit tic calm resolved spirit of the English people , who , -detes'iug war , weuJd look upon its revival as the worst of evils , yet would , nevertheless , defend the jntegritv of their country to the last drop of blood , ^ oi the last throe of lite , against any invader . A Jrenek hostile force W ?«* get on English ground ^ p iss might fly . though rather unlikely birds ); hut how many would retorn to tell of their adventures in . this country 2 1 * 1 Johnny Crapand not make a fool . nf himself . " if he ikes playin-i at soldiers , burning
. and throat-cuttiugla Africa , and turning ins capital Into au immense ireogeou , with Louis Philippe for lead-gaoler , so be it ; hut let him keep these blessings of French J & - «( fo » t and French civffuatibit to i imself , or the poor devils who have not the power to resist his lin-lnessees don ' t let him attempt their extension to this country , otherwise he may get a very -unthankful return for his pains . The alarmists on this side of the water , and the gore-and glory-mongers oa the other side , are pretty well estimated by the . people of this country , who fear neither the one nor the other . The English people have grievances , many and serious ; but these they can best settle for themselves and by themselves .
Xeagbt shall make as rue . If E n g land to herself do prove but true . And of that , we can assure the French war faction , there U no £ oubt whatever . The FrtJtsc contains an ableer / wlof the vices of 3 larsbal Bagdad's gorernnient in Africa . This journal shows that this officer has no idea but that of orate force . If he demands year after year additional reinforcements , he does so with the view of being enabled to disseminate his soldiers for the purpose of destrovin ? crops , cutting down trees , carrying off cattle , and .. in fine , of wasting the countryand exterminating the inhabitants . The outcry against this man , since the Dahra massacre , has become universal .
The Mtnfteur of Tuesday contains an account of an alarming lire , which broke oat upon the night of the 1 st , in a part of the arsenal of Toulon called the JdourVhn , where was piled timber to the value of SrtX ' , 000 francs , all of which was consumed . The fire was riot extinguished until the 3 rd . All the vessels on the stocks were saved . From the fire having broken out in different places at the same time , no doubt is entertained of its having been the work of soineofthegaltejr slaves , especially as several 1 * H s « f to * saturated with inflammable substances have lieeu discovered . The police are making active inquiries , and with hopes of success . The Ville de Bordeaux steam-packet , which arrived at Marseilles on the 1 st inst . From Algiers , hriu » i word that the Duke de Isly had left the camp 0 { Airo-eJ-Arba on the 35 th ult ., and proceeded against ( lie tribe of the Beni Ouagenouns . on whom he inflicted a severe chastisement .
SPAIN . The application upon the part of the inhabitants < sf Malaga for a suspension of the execution of the -sentence against those Lund guilty for having taken partin the late plot had , as was to he expected , failed . Mercy is a word lianishcd from Spain . The lknddo of the 30 th ult . announces that the Ministers have resolved to convoke the Cortes for the 10 th October next . According to the Postdata , several persons were arrested at Madrid on the night -of the 29 th . Among others an officer named Luis Sagasti is mentioned . The government , feeling no -further alarm on the side of Catalonia and Valencia , has ordered the expeditionary column , which had < bcen sent to Cucnca , to return to the capital .
SWITZERLAND . The Swiss papers of the 30 th nit . eontain a report of the sittings in the Swiss Diet on that day , but the principal part of the proceedings were on questions of a merely local interest . The questions of more general and important bearing have not yet been entered on . The Canton of Berne is the one which attracts the most attention from the statesmen of Switzerland , for the last ehrht months , everything has been there preparing for a revolution similar to that which took place in Lausanne . As at Iiausanna , certain members of the Government lend a helping hand to this movement , and . as at
rLausaunc , it will probably be as readily overthrown . A letter from Geneva , 30 th ult , says : — " Our 'Council of State , anticipating that the Jesuits , when expelled from France , might be tempted to come and -form establishments on our territory , has just reminded the public of an ordonnance which forbids any foreigner to undertake the duty of instruction in * tbe Canton of Geneva , without a special authorisation . It is still , however , feared that they may form an establishment in some Sardinian commune on our iwniers , which would for us he attended with , the same dangers as if a college of Jesuits were esta'Elished within our canton . "
TURKEY . The German Universal Gazette contains accounts from Constantinople of the 16 th ult ., according to which the revolt which had broken out at Wan was on the increase . Eleven battalions of infantry and ¦ t wo batteries of artillery were on the march from Erzeroum . The rebels had murdered an Armenian priest and the charge d ' affaires of the Pacha . They are Mussulmans , but of a different sect . The inhabitants and Rayah Christians support the Porte . __ A merchant ship had brought in news of a revolution in the island of Candia . The Mussulmans wanted to kill the Pacha on suspicion that he favoured the Gr eeks .
GERMANY . A correspondent of the Debats mentions that Mr . Kange , the founder , as he may be called , of the New Catholic German Church , is proceeding with such success as to cause uneasiness to Prussia , and several German states as well Catholic as Protestant On visiting Dantzic , he was received by 7000 persons , who joined him in worship before an altar covered with flowers . The ceremony was extremely simple .
Exiexsivb Fjhe. — On Saturday Morning La...
ExiExsivB Fjhe . — On Saturday morning last , August 2 nd , shortly before one o ' clock , a fire , af > tended with a very serious destruction of property , broke out u ;> on the premises belonging to Mr . Moxon , a grocer and tcadealcr , situate at So . 19 , Blackmoorstrcct , Clare-market , a very narrow and denselypopulated neighbourhood . From inquiries instituted shortly after the outbreak , it appears that some of the neighbours first discovered the fire inconsequence of noticing smoke issuing through the window
shutters . An alarm having been instantly raised , some of the parties injudiciously burst open the street « ' » r . The draught thus given to the flames caused them to travel with such surprising rapidity , that in less than ten minutes subsequently , the house , a very lofty one , was on fire from the * basement to the roof , and to effect their escape the inmates were forced to retreat over the roof . The fire extended completely across the street , severely torching the fronts of the opposite houses , the inmates of which were forced to rush forth into the
street , in order to escape being suffocated . By the i & defatigaule exertions of the firemen the fire was so for subdued by half-past two o ' clock as to allay all fears « . f any further extension of mischief . By " ¦ at time , however , the whole o f the furniture , \ r « n tn"k ' * Treal ™ S apparel , belonging to > lr . Mosoa , were consumed , and the buildings ad-;< unm severely damaged . The total loss must be Vcry considerable . Fortunately no lives were lost . ; 1 ' ouncAi . iLLKiTHs * MoxcMExr . —This structure ' ™* now reached to tbehelgkt of about forty feet from ™ e ground , and is advancing rapidly to completion , "is to be ninety feet high altogether , so that it is ™ 'yet half ray up , hut as it is in the form of an wikk

On your return to your several localities it will be the duty of each delegate to lay the merits of the two plans before his constituents , and assure them of the ability and efficiency of the directory left behind to carry them into practice . For myself , I can only say , that no exertion on my part shall be spared to " give effect to your intentions ;
and should any question affecting your interest arise in Parliament , depend on it , I will be thereto support it . ( Loud cheers . ) We have unfurled a banner under which the working classes will do well to rally , unfurled as it is with no unworthy motive , I again thank you for the kindness you have shown me since I have had the honour of presiding . 1 have every confidence in the honour , and integrity , and intelligence of the working classes , and believe they will obtain the objects they seek . Mr . Duncombe resumed bis scat amid the most enthusiastic cheering . A vote of thanks was passed to Mr . Evans , who had presidcl during Mr . Dnncombe ' s absence , and to the Provisional Central Committee . Mr . Evans responded , aud the Conference dissolved .
Annslev Mais Colliery (Seau Bakxsley).—T...
AnnsLEv Mais Colliery ( seau Bakxsley ) . —The Mind's at this colliery are on strike . The following statement , which has been issued by the men , sufficiently explains the cause of the strike . The coalowner is advertising for hands , but we trust no men will be found so base as to take the places of the Ardsley men . The old prices for coal-getting at this colliery were 2 s . 8 u . for twelve corves , < H cwt . We went 100 yards before we took a rise , and received ono penny , after this 3 d . for every 100 yards in succession . Wc had 3 s , Od . per yard for end—our masters have now reduced the same to 3 s ., and have moreover imposed upon us additional labour by considerably enlarging the corves . Each corf now holds upwards of 8 cwt . of coals ! Now , as it is an indisputable f act that the avocation of the Miner is one ol toil and peril , and is therefore deserving of adequate remuneration , we take the liberty of acquainting our masters with tho terms on which we will work ;
and in doing so we wish it to bo understood that we manifest no ill-feeling to our employers ; all wc desire is the very reasonable demand , which doubtless we have a right to urge , viz .: —a fair remuneration to requite us for our jcopardous and arduous services . We will send twelve corves to the dozen , at 2 s . Sd . per dozen ( each corf to weigh six and a half cwt . ) , and rise one penny for every thirty-three yards and one foot in succession . Wc must be paid for all overweight ; that is , for all alwvo six and a half cwt . — our man to weigh against your man . We expect 3 s . Od . per yard for end as formerly , whether soft ones be cut or not . One shilling per pack for pulling down packs into the banks ; Is . 3 d . per yard for building packs up to the softs ; and for building packs up to the middle bed , is . od . per yard ; for a square pack , measuring one end and one side , Is , 3 d . per yard .
Glasgow Tjupes' Movements . —The Tailors of this city have held two public meetings lately , for the purpose ol considering the propriety of joining the 'ladors . National Protection Society , both of which Mr . Parker , of London , secretary ' to the Tailors ' Protection Society , attended , and on both occasions entered at great length into a minute detail of the grievances under which the trade is labouring , and concluded by an earnest appeal to the men to join together for mutual protection , to forget all past differences , and do away with all distinctions amongst themselves . Mr . Parkergavcvcrychecringaccounts of the progressof the society , which he said was supported by many of the most respectable of the employers . At the close of the proceedings of the last meeting , which was held on Monday week , it was announced that 121 members bad joined the society .
KNAHEsnonouou Weavers . —Tho Weavers of this place arc still out . The men are as determined a ? ever to stand out until they get their just demands . We have now arrived at a crisis which is trying in the extreme : our expenditure is nearly £ 20 per week , and as yet wekave not received that sum . Wc shall now be obliged to try those places that have received aid from the Weavers of Knaresborougll . The Woolcoinbci' 8 of Bradford were aided about twenty years since , to the amount of £ 225 , by us . We have made . applications to them since our strike commenced , but they had their hands full with Mr . Rands hands ; as they have got their : strike over , we shall be obliged to again solicit their aid . Wc also sent aid to the Staffordshire -Potteries a few years ago , when the Trades Union was in existence . We do hope our friends of the Potteries will do something for us , be It ever so little .
Tub Blackuubn Misers . —The Broadfield and Belthorn colliera are still standing out against the bond submitted to them . They have bravely stood the contest upwards of fifteen weeks , and arc resolved not to yield . Only one man has gone to work , and signed the agreement , out of the men who were previously employed . The masters have tried every art to defeat the men . Intimidation and sophistry have been resorted to—but all to no purpose . A number of men were decoyed from Bentham , in Yorkshire , to work the pits ; eleven of them , when they arrived and found out how matters stood , refused to work . They were taken before the magistrates . Four were committed to the House of Correction ; but were released on a writ of habeas conms . Actions are
about to be entered againstthe committing magistrates for false imprisonment . Since then , the masters have brought a number of men from Wales . Some of these have also left ; , others are about to follow their example . On the 30 lh ult ., another "dodge " was tried . A horse road , o » stone drift , was to be let ; and at the Jetting plenty of " heavy wet" was to be given at the Brittania Inn , in . Oswald-twistle ; but not one of the old hands attended , either to take the road , or empty the barrels of the kind host . Consequently it was " no go ; " the road a ; is not let . The agreement proposed to the men is of the most objectionable character . It is to break Up till' union —bind the men for at least one year to work for such sums as the masters shall think proper to give ; aud
the men liable to be discharged without any notice whatever ! The bond is printed , with a number of blanks left to be filled up , after tlie mtn had signed it . The men arc determined to stand to the uiiion so long as they can get any support . A brighter prospect dawns upon them . The trades of Blackburn are taking the matter up . 'The spinners and other trades have promised them support , which we hope will be followed by other trades throughout the kingdom . Let the working men at this time come to the help of these gallant fellows : they are deserving ol support . The colliers belonging to the union should
at once pour in their subscriptions . It is true they are heavily laid on . The scheme of their " masters " is to " ruin them with expenses : " but it is hoped that the trades will not allow these men to he sacrificed for want of funds . A committee will sit at Mr . Norton ' s , Temperance Hotel , King-street , Blackburn , every Wednesday night . The Trade ' s arc each of them requested to appoint one of their body to attend . Since writing the above , a messenger has arrived to say that the whole of the Welshmen have returned , twenty-eight ia number , leaving only a small number to work the mines ; and these have not been accustomed to so narrow a seam . The
thickness of the coal m the Lelthorn pit is from fifteen to eighteen inches . The wages paid the men for the getting of one quarter , or twelve loads of coals , was four shillings ; and out of this the men paid their drawers or putters varving from five shillings and sixpence to seven shillings per week . They also found their own candles , powder , and fools ; and with this pittance the men would have remained satisfied . The coals at the pits arc sold at ten pence per load , or ten shillings per quarter . The men are , and have been , quite willing to start work as they left oil ' : but the masters will not permit this , unless the men bring in their Union cards , and sign the agreement . Several deputations have waited on the masters , but to no purpose . They say they are " determined to stand it out . "

BA . RNSLEY . Mr . O'Connor ' s Visit . —Tuesday being the dav announced f r Mr . O'Connor ' s visit to Barnsley , early in the day the town was all bustle . A messenger was despatched to Sheffield , to ascertain the exact time he would be in this town . At nine o ' clock A M . the messenger arrived with the tidings that Mr . O'Connor would bo here at two p . m . Notwithstanding the extreme wetness of the day , at two o ' clock thousands were seen wending their way to the station-house , but were doomed to disappointment , as it was half-past three o ' clock before he arrived . An excellent dinner was provided at the Odd Fellows Hall , in honour of the patriot , of which sixty-nine persons partook . When the cloth was removed , the health of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., was drank with
three times three . Thomas Slingsby Duncombe , Esq ., received a similar token of respect . The hall was then opened , and the public admitted at Id . each . At seven o'clock the business of the evening commenced . Mr . Peter Hoey was unanimously called to the chair . He opened the meeting by desiring that all-parties would patiently attend to what should be advanced by the talented lecturer , and he doubted not but every one present would benefit by the discourse . At its conclusion , " Mr . O'Connor would answer any question that might be put to him . lie then called on Mr . Frank MirfieW to . read an address which had been prepared . Mr . Mirfield then read the following address : —
" Honoured Sir and Noble Patriot , — A great length of time has elapsed since our town has heen honoured with your presence . It has been a source of regret to many of us , when we call to mind the petty , yet malicious annoyance you experienced when you were last here . Since then every stratagem " has been had recourse to , in the vain hope of destroying your usefulness , till at last your enemies have completely annihilated themselves " . Their wholesale slanders have stamped them the basest of mankind . Whatever abuse ot you wc find in the sordid and prostrated press of this country , excites no surprise nor inquiry . No , sir ; your straightforward and disinterested honesty for a great number of years has won for you the golden opinion of all good men . Little atte m icn now paid
To Your Refers. Their Perhdious Assertio...
to your refers . Their perhdious assertions cam iVZ S with them than the tomfooler . es of a merry andrewin a country fair . Uroourdar , yro have been attacked in almost everyconceivable form . One party assailed you in an empty pretended p hi . Idoophkal style , while another ot of canting , wheedling hypocrites , full of as rourli low cunning as satan , have had their deceptive fling . Believe us , sir , we despise the unholy efforts of those justnamcd . aa much as we defv every brazen , barefaced , blustering btillv , who chimes the same chorus . When , sir , we cons ' ideryou suffer ail this , and ten thousand times more than wo can namefor the lofty and God-like
, purpose of alleviating the sufferings of the whole liuniai ) family , we cannot find wordi adequate to express our gratitude for your exalted virtues . Although , sir , we venerate every good man , and would by no means tarnish the character of modern patriots , nor sull y the memory of ancient ones : yet , sir , we recognise no name among the heroes of liberty , ancient or modem , past or present , greater than that of Feargus O'Connor , That your valuable life may be long spared , and that you may for very many years witness your efforts wearing a crown of success in the prosperity , happiness , and freedom of our common country , is the sincere wish of Thb Mks ov Bahnslet .
The address was unanimously carried in a crowded meeting , amidst tlie cheers of the assembled multitude . ^ Mr . O'Connor tlieujjise , and as soon as the cheering , which his appearance called forth had subsided , he replied to the address , and then launched into the Land question , aiid ' -delivered the most eloquent and energetic , discourses ever listened to in this town . ' The honourable gentleman then , made an appeal on behalf of Ilandloom Weavers of Knavesborough and the Chartist Executive , which was well responded to .
BOLTON . Mr . Doyle delivered his second lecture hereon the Land question , on Tuesday last . The Land Society meet every Sunday evening at four o ' clock .

CiuivrtsT Co-opkiutive Laxii Society . —Exconsios to BitioiiT k . —On Sunday last an excursion by railway of the members and friends of the Chartist Cooperative Society , residing in London , took place to Brighton . So great was the throng that the railway people deemed it necessary to start three distinct trains for the conveyance of the excursionists , the total number of whom exceeded 3000 . Afti-r a very pleasant ride , of little more than two hours , the party arrived at Brighton , and immediately dispersed themselves over the town to see and enjoy the beauties of
ot the town and neighbourhood . At five o'clock in the evening a public meeting was held in the large room of the Artichoke Inn , William-street , which was most densely crowded by a highly respectable and most attentive audience , and was most ably and eloquently addressed by Mr . George White and others . At the close of the meeting the hour of departure bad arrived , and finally at nine o ' clock the trains reached London-bridge terminus , all having arrived site and sound . The trip was highly successful , an . we believe gave universal satisfaction .
DEATH . Died at Scarborough , July 23 th , William Robin son , aged 50 , a true supporter of the Chartist cause .
