FOREIGN AFFAIRS .
In , France. ' The Pariiftmentary Sessio...
In , FRANCE . ' The Pariiftmentary session has closed , and ihe Chamber of Deputies has been dissolved previous to the close of the sittings on the 2 nd instant , a discussion of some interest took place . The '' Foreign Refugee ' s Bill , " having been submitted for discussion , Count de Mostalembert inveig hed in the strongest terms against the conduct of the Austrian Court relative to the recent occurrences in Poland , and especiallv at Cracow , and accused the French Government of not liavin « since duly watched over the maintenance of the independence of that republic . M . Guizot replied , after bis usual manner of secmin" truth , but real falsehood . He said that he
had demanded an explsnation of the Austrian Government . relative to the occupation of Cracow , and had received the reply that " events had necessitated a temporary occupation , but that existing rMitsshould be respected . AL Villemaix delivered an eloquent speech in support of the Count de Mojjtalembert ' s views . The bill was then adopted unanimously . The French are in a nice mess with their Tahiti "Protectorate , " having been worsted by the natives , who seem universally to detest their ¦ " civilising" friends . News has been received of another atrocity committed in Algeria . A number of Arabs ( including women ) had been pursued by General Cavignac , who coming up . with them had driven them to the number of 500 towards the sea ,
where they were culcd upon to surrender . They , however , refused to lay down their arms , and the whole were butchered ; some were shot , and the remainder driven into the sea , where they were drowned . The Madrid papers assert , that the Miguelite movement in Portugal is gaining ground . An address and declaration dated from London , have been issued " in the name and by the order of the King Don Mignel I , " asserting " his Majesty ' s" claims to the throne , and declaring that the moment has arrived to make good those " claims . " Accounts from
ITALY , state that the coronation of the Pope took place at Rome on the 21 st . with all the nsua ^ ceremonies , which were terminated by an illumination , and the exhibition of fireworks . No amnesty had been published , as was expected , but it was said that the measure was only delayed . Addresses demanding certain reforms in the Government of the Pontifical dominions are being numerously signed at Bologna , Ferrara , Ravenna , and in other towns .

National Association Of United Trades Fo...
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . The Central Committees met at their office , 30 , Hyde-street , Bloomsbury , on Monday , July 6 th . and by adjournment on Tuesday and Wednesday , the 7 th and Sth , T . -S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . The Secretary submitted one hundred and seventy letters to the meeting , from the numerous bodies of trades forming this grand national confederation . The business of this association has now increased so enormously that it is imperative . to hold two extra or special meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday .
Mr . W . Robson reported ihe result of his mission to the paper makers of Maidstone , Kent . He had met on Saturday last a number of delegates representing the several mills employed in that trade ; and he was happy to add , that since the meeting the pleasing information had been received , that the paper rankers , to the number of 800 , were now members of the National Association . He had also , in conjunction with Mr . Allen , waited on the cork cutters , in general meeting assembled , at the Bell Inn , Old Bailey . After addressing the meeting for some time , it was resolved : — That a special meeting of thc trade he held , due notice of which shall be forwarded to the " Trades' Office . "
Mr . Robson also reported that he had waited on the silk hatters , assembled at the Duke of Wirtenburgh , Hatfield-street , on Friday last , and stated the objects of thc Association , and the mode of operation proposed at the recent Conference . He was listened to with great attention , and they ( the hatters ) expressed their satisfaction at the progress of the Association . Amongst the numerous communications weresome from the Denbigh shoemakers ( both masters and men ) , calling the attention of the committee to a dispute now prevailing in that town , relative to the state of wages , upon which the committee resolved upon deputing Mr . Robson , shoemaker , to proceed at once to Denbigh , and effect , if possible , an amicable adjustment between the employers and the employed . The following resolutions were submitted and adopted : —
That each town , city , or borough , in Great Britain , shall be hereby authorised to form a committee , consisting of one member from each trade , lodge , or other associated body , which committee shall meet periodically , at its first meeting it shall proceed to nominate an agent , who shall be elected by the central committee ( in accordance with thc general rule entitled ' agents' ) , such agent by virtue of his office becoming an honorary member of the central committee , and through whom all communications must be made to the general secretary . That in case any dispute shall arise between the employers and thc employed , the dispute shall be laid before the Town Committee for their consideration , previous to its transmission to the central committee .
Very favourable accounts were read from Manchester respecting the "builders' strike , " which led the committee to believe that a speedy and satisfactory termination would be put to this protracted struggle for the "Rights of Labour . " On Wednesday evening , the business having been brought to a close , the committee adjourted until Monday , July 20 .
BAUNSLEY . Messes . Tigott and Newton Again . —It is with extreme pain ihnt circumstances have arisen which call forth the following public appeal : to be silent under the outrageous and wholesale attempt at plunder by the Messrs . Pigott and Newton , would indeed be criminal in a superlative degree on the part of the workpeople . What then will the public think of the startling f : ict of a reduction in the instance cf one fabric ( viz . the Drabbets ) cf 40 per cent . ! The working people of this town have suffered under the present panic with a resignation and fortitude seldom equalled aad certainly never surpassed , consolliug themselves with the pleasing reflection tbat thc
pending measures of CtoTerjiment would ere long- better their condition and restore them to comparative comfort , when lo . ' in step the modest Messrs . Pigott and Newton , as evil geniuses and harbingers of oppression , and cry" hold there ! we will frustrate your humble hopes , and teach you that , come what will , your doom is sealed ; suffering the most intense shall continue to he your portion , or at least if not so . Vie fa ult ehallnot he ours . " We as candidly tell YOU , Messrs . Pigott and Newton "the fault stiall not be ours .

ANOTJIEft WORD OR TWO . In consequence of information reaching the ears of the Committee of Tower-Loom Weavers , that Messrs . Pigott and Newton try to insinuate into the public mind that the charges brought ngainit them , as stated ' ahove , are not true ; and fearing lest any should be misled by an apparent plausibility , ( for these gentlemen have a very Gunning way of trying- to evade and misrepresent our charges ) we again declare that the prices quoted are each and every of them TRUE . We moreover invite Messrs . Pigott and Newton to meet us in public , and if they can prove our assertions to he fallacious , they may
publish us to the world as slanderers!—15 ut they dare not , although fht-y are far removed from anything like delicacy . One of these subterfuges is , that it is a new fabric they want to introduce , aud not a reduction;—a . gross attempt to delude the public b y a very gnat untruth 1 It may be well perhaps to set the publio right on this point : —Weaving is paid by the bews or set , i . e . so muck yarn in a given widfch : and it is not the first time in the history uf weaving in this town , that manufacturers have put in cotton warpi , or had a little less waft put in , and called it another fabric ; but it has always hitherto followed , that as soon as the low wage system was established , they
National Association Of United Trades Fo...
have turned round and paid by the » et , and declared it to beno « eto fabric at all . Now we . affirm that no honest man or set of men would havereeourse tosuch unfairness , which we deem absolutely no better than thimble rigging . The following persons have been working the very identi . oal work with 231 b . of Cotton at 5 s . per cut , from December to April , viz : —John Willey , , Michael Connor , Ann Owens , Hannuh Howarth , Andrew . Owens , Samuel . Piatt , in the old factory ; and James Andrew , Francis Perry , Lawrence Mavkey , Joseph Wood , George Stewart , in the new factory . . The men would have taken the work with 7 wailee , or 28 picks to the . half-inch , for 4 s . ; 8 wailes ,, or 32 picks to the half-inch , for 4 s , 6 d . ; 10 wailes , or 40 picks to the half-inch for 5 s . We now hope that the . public will uot suffer , their minds to be biased by anything Messrs . Pigott and Newton choose to say on this point ,, wo ore ready to answer their charges ata moment ' s notice . . : By Order of the Committee . '
Tire City Men ' s Mkn . —In a notice two : or three weeks ' ago , of the proceedings of this ; society of the London Boot and Shoe Trade , mention was made that a somewhat similar opposition wiis getting up against the General . Association , among the Westend Mens' Men ; and , although the particular mode of Operation Seems , not yet fully decided upon , yet it is evident that they , too , will withdraw themselves . Already the first and second sections have ' refused to continue the connection , while the third and fifth
have in reality . ' resolved upon , the same / . There is ; therefore , ' only one section , the fourth , whichcan be said to remain ; and one against lour can have but little chance of success . From all this , then , it is pretty evident that the Association , as at present constituted , is on its "last legs , " in' London at least , as the West-end Womehs' district aloho'is all that at present remainsof the six , districts vyhichformerly belonged to it . We learn , 'libwever , that the , ' . ' rebels " are , not veritable ' . " leveller ^ " but that while : they destroy , they intend also t & . construct .
SHEFFIELD . , . - i i ¦ ¦ The Central Committee of the United Building Trades of Sheffield , held , their , monthly meeting at the Grey Horse , Inn , Hig h-street , July 1 st , when it wasdetermined that the Festival shall take * place on Monday 2 ' 7 h July , with a Dinner , and Demonstration at the Barrack Tavern , Owleston-road . Several well known advocates of the People will address the meeting . The procession will return , and the various trades will dine at their respective lodges . The next meeting of the committee will be . held at the Ball Tavern , Camp-Jane , July 14 th , at 8 o clock in the evening .
. SHEFFIELD STRIKE . We are glad to learn that the strike of the Labourers ( which took place three weeks ago ) for an advanced 3 d . per day is finally settled / Many of the masters gave the advance without a strike—they are not connected with the masters' union . Several masters ( leaders in the masters' union ) stand out , and employed all the chimney sweepers they could get , and failing with these , they . went to the workhouse , but tho poor fellows would not carry bricks without the advance / the work therefore had to stand .
A meeting was then summoned of the masters ' union , but only five attended , they could not do any business , and the union has since been broken up . The men have gained a great victory ova * some of the greatest blockheads that ever lived . Strike of Shoemakers at Kilmarnock . —( From the People ' s Journal . )—Lately , several of the shoe manufacturers came to tho decision of lowering the prices of several kinds of work from those fixed on by the operative shoemakers' union . In- consequence of this , all the men in their employment struck . No arrangement has as yet been made between them , but the men express their determination to stand so long ( if possible ) that the masters will be obliged to submit , as they cannot long contrive to do without the labour of their workmen . From the little work
the men have been receiving lor some time past , they are extremely poor , aud consequently unable to do long without their usual employment . Should the employers gain the victory , it will probably have the eftect of making the other employers in town ( whose men amount to nearly 200 ) adopt the same course . The number of men on strike is about forty .

LAMBERilEAD GREEN . ; The members of this branch of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society have resolved that the profit arising from the sale of " Carpender ' s Farm" should be appropriated for the benefit of the whole of the six thousand members comprising the first section . OLDHAM . On Sunday last Mr . J . R . Cooper , delivered a very argumentative lecture on the progress of social improvement , and the future policy , the labouring class ' . ought to pursue . He was listened to with ^ great atattention , and the lecture gave general satisfaction .
WAKEFIELD . - At a numerous meeting of members of the Chartist Co-operative Society , on Tuesday last , the following resolutions were adopted : — That the sum of £ 1350 , which has been realized by the saleof Carpender ' s Porm , revert to the Qeneral Fund of the society , to aid in locating the whole of the members . That while the Estate was purchased by all the members' monies and the ballot had not taken place , we cannot see the justice of allowing forty-three individuals to be the sole participators in the benefit of the sale . W . Fabband .
LEEDS . A meeting of the members of thc Land Society , was held on Tuesday evening . The meeting was very numerous , and unanimous in passing the following resolutions : — That this meeting is of opinion that it would be unjust to limit the disposing of thc profits from the selling of the Land to those who may have the good fortune of paying up their shares before a given time , and that it would be creating a class distinction in the Society , if a money qualification instead of a member ' s was required to entitle persons to vote on particular occasions . This meeting however begs to express its firm and decided ' pinion that it is not in the power of the directors to carry any such notion into effect , as it is entirely against the rules laid down by the shareholders through their delegates at the Mnnchestcr Conference , for the 20 th rule distinctly declares that each shareliol lei- shall be entitled to one vote in transacting the affairs of the Society .
That this meeting cannot for one moment hesitate to decide what fund the £ 1 , 350 cleared from the sale of the Land should be placed , for if the rules are to be adhered to , It is clear that it belongs to and ought to be carried to the funds of the section for the benefit of the whole of the members , add not to be given cither in a reduced rental or in a fixed sum to a small portion of the members for their especial benefit , and consequently to the injury of the many , and this the 20 th rule confirms , for it says that the profits arising from the operations of the Society shall be equitably divided among the members of the section when all are located on the Land . That this meeting would respectfully suggest to the directors the strictest adherence to the rules of the Society as laid down at the last Manchester Conference , December , 18 « , as the only way of giving satisfaction to the whole of the members .
BIRMINGHAM . At a general meeting of the shareholders of the Chartist Co-operativo Land Society , held at 111 , Rea-street , the following resolutions were adopted unanimously : — That we think it just and right that the handsome sum realised by the sale of Carpender's farm , should revert to the general fund of the society to assist in locating the whole of the members . That a levy of fourpence be paid by each shareholder , to defray thc local expences of the society for the ensuing quarter , commencing July Cth , and that all members that are in arrears with the directors levy or local luntl are requested to pay them immediately . No one will be eligible to be in the ballot except clear of the boohs in every respect .
BATH . The " paid-up" shareholders of this branch of the Co-operative Land Society , met at C . Franklin ' s on Sunday evening last , when the ^ following resolutions were agreed to : — 1 IThat having seen by the Northern Star that a profit of £ 1350 has been realised by the sale of Carpender ' s farm , we unanimously wish the money to revert to the general fund . That we think early location will be sufficient benefit , and we are decidedly opposed to any other benefit accruing to the located members than that originally promised . That wc consider the division of ss much money among so few persons would he decidedly wrong , and that all money realised by sale , or in any other way , should be devoted to the purpose of an earlier location of the remaining members of the said section .
That we thniik the directors for past cxerfons , and trust that in future as in pMt time their efforts will be directed to the interest of all , not to the creation of a class . C . Franklin .

TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . Much esteemed Sir , —Wishing to join with oui brethren in their expressions of esteem , we beg to state that you have our unbounded confidence in spite of the foul calumines off . Cooper , therefore go on in thc work you are so prosperously engaged in , and in your own language " we shall be as man and wife , and woe be to the man who shall try to separate us . " In conclusion , we think T . Cooper , with all his boasted Christianity , has overlooked the ninth commandment , therefore we would suggest that he read it , and ponder well over it ; and we fondly hope as a change has taken place in his " p hysical force" propensities , there also may be a change ( for thc better ) in his " moral" sense . Signed , in behalf of the members of the Busby branch of the Chartist Cooperative Land Society . Robert Mc . Gooki . v , Sub-secretary .
NORWICH . . Sir , —At a general meeting of the members of the National Charter Association , held July oth , the following resolutions were agreed to : — That we highly approve of the resolutions passed nt the Somers Town locality , and we think it unnecessary to call upon Mr . O'Connor to meet on the public platform any charge brought forward by Thomas Cooper , or any other scoundrel of the same stamp ; that we are of opinion that it is high time to stop these wholesale slanderers by meeting them with silent contempt .
That we call upon our brother Chartists to rally round our long-tried friend , F . O'Connor , Esq ., a man who has left his own order , risked his own life , and sacrificed his health and fortune for the people . And seeing in the Star of July 27 th , that an action for libel has been brought against Mr . O'Cownor , and well knowing that the policy of his enemies is to ruin him with expences , we suggest that a fund should be raised to pay all fines and expeuces to which he may be subjected . That the thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to Thomas Clark for communicating Thomas Cooper ' s calumnies to Mr . O'Connor , and we also thank the whole of the directors , believing them to be honcstaud deserving the confidence of the people . Conead Spbincai . Ii , sub-Sec .
CITY OF LONDON LOCALITY . July 5 . —Mr . Furzon in the chair . Mr . Dale moved—That in the op inion of this meeting it is at variance with democratic principles for the members of one locality to enter others , merely for the purposes of recording their votes upon particular questions , because they thereby take upon themselves apurality of votes to which no man is entitled - , that such conduct is a proof that the individuals are cither ignorant of the principles of right , or determined to act in opposition to them ; and believing that individuals joining this locality on the last meeting night , with a view of aiding by force of numbers to stifle the expressions of our honest convictions and opinions , we deem that such conduct is highly discreditable to them and dishonest iu the extreme , and renders them unworthy of the name of Chartists , and we do hereby expel them with contempt from this locality of the
association . Seconded by Mr . Dunn . Mr . D . Gover moved as an amendment—That Mr . Dale's motion is a gross libel on the characters of the individuals who have lately joined the locality , inasmuch as we have no evidence to show that they intend to act in the manner described therein . Seconded by Mr . Amtill .. . The amendment carried . Mr . Aktill moved that Mr . D . Cover ' s letter in Ihe Star be read . Seconded by Mr . Dale . Carried . Mr . Antill

CARLISLE . TO FEARGUS O ' CONNOR , ESQ . , Sir , —Having read in thc Northern Star last of week that you had , with the consent of the other directors , sold Carpender ' s farm , and by the sale of which you had realised a profit of £ 1350 , we convened a meeting on the Cth instant , in the Asseciation-room , No . 6 , St . John-street , Caldewgate , at which the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — That the sum of £ 1350 which has been realised by the sale of Carpender ' s farm , revert to the general fund oS the Society , to aid in locating the whole of the members belonging to thc first section .
We have at all times entertained thc greatest respect for your opinions , conscious as we are that they are always given with the utmost sincerity and purest ? o f motives , but at this time we must say that we entirely differ from you . We are not of opinion that the profit arising from the sale of the estate belongs either justly or equitably to the forty-three successful shareholders at the next ballot , but we consider that if a majority of the members think it should be so , they have a right to give their decision to that effect . For our part we have to state that the above resolution was the spontaneous ebullition of the whole of the members of the first and second sections who attended thc meeting , and others who could not attend , but sent their opinions to th meet )!*;
The profit , in our opinion , belongs to the whole of the members composing the first section , and ought to go along with other profit * that may be made out of tbat section ' s means , until the whole of such sec-

tion be locnted , when it should either he divided amongst them , or assist towards purchasing their holdings out for ever , as a mojority may then deem proper . Should such a rule as the dividing the money amongst the first successful shareholders ' be acted upon , there is no saying where it would eiid : for in stance , Carpender ' s farm , is sold , the profits are to be divided umongst the first forty-tUreesucce ' ssfu ! shareholders , in another week another estate mav be purchased , and sold again at as great , perhaps a ^ reater advantage ; this also would be for the benefit of the same individuals , thusmaking fortunesfortbose who have been fortunate enough already , at , the same time keeping back others who have paid up equally with them , without the least present benefit accruing to them .
Trusting , in fact knowing , that these opinions will be received in the same spirit in which they are given , believing that yeur object is to give the greatest satisfaction to the whole of the ' members , conscious as we are , that you would not suggest anything which you did not at the time . consider for their benefit , We remain yours respectfully , The Members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society residing in Carlisle , ' John Gilbeetson , Sub-Secretary .

CHARTIST PLEASURE TRIP FROM ABERDEEN . Dundee , July 5 . —This morning at C , a . m ., we observed a steam boat to the eastward of tlie southferry light-houses , standing for this harbour , and upon nearing it , the deck of the vessel was discovered to be crowded with people . The vessel turned out to be the " Samson of Aberdeen , " which had been hired by a party forming a portion of the leading Chartists of Aberdeen , for a pleasure excursion to Dundee and Perth . It would appear , intimation had reached the principal men in the movement here , that their brethren of the north would visit them , for lone before the hour of landing , the protection wall of the docks were densely thronged with persons of both sexes , who seemed not to weary while they waited for their friends . Among those we observed , Mr . John . Downie , who has long been popular for his indefatigable exertions to uplift his class from slavish insigand vast
nificance and degradation . Besides him , a number more of the good men , of Dundee , we also observed Messrs . M'Donaldand Smart of Aberdeen , who now reside here . Upon going on board , we observed a more than sufficient supply of good things had been laid in for the ladies who accompanied the party , which with stronger and more substantial fare , were freely offered to their more southern male and female democratic friends of this place . The vessel left at half-past eight o clock for Perth , from whence she will return to-morrow forenoon , and sai next afternoon for Aberdeen . Wc are not exactly certain as to the reason why the trip has been undertaken at this early period of the season . We believe the present posture of political affairs may have hurried it on , for it is evident from thc temper of the great body of the people , that unless the extension of the elective franchise form a portion of the creed of tho new Ministry , they will not be allowed to govern the councils of this nationfor any length of time . CORRESPOBDENT .
PLYMOUTH . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I am directed on the part of the shareholders here to state in reply to Mr . O'Connor ' s suggestions , that they cannot accede to so sectional an application of the profits arising from the sale of the last estate , as the awarding to tho shareholders who may be located on the next purchase one farthing more than the rules prescribe ; for as it is a contingency that cannot always be looked for , those who would receive less at any other period , must by the comparison suffer positive injustice . C . Robkktsox , Sub-Secretary .
