      unanimously carried : — " That this Council having well considered the statements made by Mr . O'Connor , in his letter published in the Star of the 5 th inst .. are of opinion that such statements are calculated to call down the vengeance of the government upon the heads of the Foreign Refugees now in this country , believing , as we do , that those patriots are deserving ofthe best wishes of all true democrats , and it is our duty to throw around them the shield of protection , instead of endeavouring to injure their present prospects ; we therefore beg to dissent from the sentiments expressed by Mr . O'Connor in his letter , they being , In tbe opinion of this Council , entirely uncalled for . " The meeting then adjourned for a week .

O'Connor was read and discussed , when the following resolution was agreed to : — "That in the opinion of this meeting the letter of MK ' O'Connor , in this week ' s Star , is a miserable attempt to throw obloquy on the Democrats ofthe Continent , and to revive tbe foolish prejudices of past times .

Sutton took the chair , and after making a few observations , the minute * of the previous meeting were confirmed . The secretary then read tbe financial accounts , which ehowed that the association is gradually improving —financially and otherwise . The books showed a great increase of members .

Mr . SiMely eaM he should like to know if the Council had issued any circular , or had any correspondence with the Halifax district ? The secretary read from the iVortnern Star the letter sent hy him in answer to

      the resolution ofthe Halifax district delegates . The j secretary said , he bad had no correspondence with j any person in the Halifax district , except sending ! afew of the addresses ofthe council to the Chartists of England , and the circular got up to solicit local ^ subscriptions towards getting up a large public meeting in the Free Trade Hall , sanctioned by the last members * meeting . Mr . Siddlely said , he should like the memhers to thoroughly understand it , and as the circular which he held in his hand did not warrant the Halifax district delegates to pass a resolution which appeared in Reynolds s Seuspaper , he should again ask if any other correspondence had taken place ? The secretary said no other conesponuenco had tafeed place , beverai ortermembers expressed their opinions of the above named resolution , and the matter dropped . A member drew their attention to the resolutions as passed hy the London Conference , and in tBe a i * T he should

      sence of afull report of that conference , suggest that this meeting adjourn until next Sunday , when be expected to sec a full report of it » transactions . The meeting concurred in tbe opinion expressed , and adjourned accordingly . — Oa Sunday evening Mr . Thomas Dickenson gave a very interesting lecture on the " Confederation of Trades , and the Case of the Wolverhampton Tin Plate Workers , " in which he dwelt very strongly on the utility and necessity of all the trades uniting in one common bond , as the only way in which labour could bid defiance to the tyranny of capital . Mr . Dickenson appealed to the meeting on behalf of Messrs . Peel , Green , and Winters , of tbe "United Trades' Association , who had been indicted for conspiring to protect tbe labourers of Wolverhampton . Ihe meeting was very well attended , and seemed ( by the marked attention they paid to the lecture ) to take a deep interest in the subject .

      National Land Compaxy. According To Adve...

      NATIONAL LAND COMPAXY . According to advertisement the shareholders resident in London met at the City Chartist Uall , Golden-lane , on Sunday afternoon , to consider the BUI brought into Parliament for Winding-up the National land Company . Mr . Milne was called to the chair . r ., . Sir . SrAuwoon gave an account of the proceedings of the committee appointed by the last meeting . The committee had drawn up a petition , and sent it to Mr . Berkeley , M . P ., for presentation . lie gave a detailed statement -i his interviews with that gentleman , who thought that the petition should Be presented to the committee , and not to the House .

      Mr . Hewitt explained that all such petitions should be sent to the Private Bill Office . Correspondence was read from Hyde stating that tbev looked with suspicion on the proceedings oi the committee , and that they were in favour of the hill as it now stood . -Froin Mr . Guy , . oT Sings End , finding fault at not getting his lease according to promise .-Also from Halifax , stating that they » ere opposed to the Land Company bearing toe expenses of the Bank . —From Messrs . Kin «> s 8 » O'Brien , and two other persons , of Snig 3 End and lawbands , stating that the schedules did not give a true account of all the property sold . They also complained of not being able to get their leases , and disputed that the sum said to be laid out at Wbands had been expended . —This closed tbe

      correspondence . — .. ' . » .: Mr . Siauwood moved , " That they adopt a petition emb dying their « ew « , in relation to the expenses of the Bank not being paid by the Company . That the accounts of the Company should he strictly investigated , and that a disinterested Person be appointed official manager .

      National Land Compaxy. According To Adve...

      Air . Witsox seconded the motion . Mr . Wheelee inquired what was the nature P the petition sent to the House of Commons by the committee . * A motion was then passed that the said petition shouJ be read , which wa done , when it appeared that the ^? tition was exactly the same as the one before the me 6 ! ing , with the addition of asking for a month ' s delay in the passing of the bill . Mr . Wheeler believed that tbe committee bad exceeded their powers . Mr . Snuiroff was surprised at such correspondence being brought before them by the committee , lie defended the character and motives of Mr . O'Connor . The Chairman decided that the speaker was out of order , which gave rise to some confusion . A motion was carried limiting all speakers to five minutes .

      Mr . Sibaiion then resumed , and showed that the Bank was forced upon Mr . O'Connor by the Conferences . He believed that the opposition to the Bill wa » only a stab upon tbe political character of Mr . O'Connor by his private enemies . He bad always opposed Mr . O'Connor until he saw this assassinlike conduct . The failure of the Lmd Plan was owing to the conduct of the allottees , and not to the dishonesty of Mr . O'Connor . He moved that ' * The portion ofthe resolution relative to the Bank being separated from the Land Company be withdrawn . " Mr . Bsooufteld seconded the motion . It was only just that they should bear the expense of the Bank . If Mr . 0 ' * Connor had defrauded them let him be exposed .

      > Mr . Mathers would agree that they should bear the expense up to the time that the Bank was separated from tbe Land . Mr . Wheeler showed the connexion between the Land Company and the Bank . Mr . Gbassbt stated his views upon this subject , and showed that , in his opinion , the Bank was Mr . O'Connor ' s private speculation . Mr . Whkelkb showed that according to law the Directors could not , as a body , be legal proprietors ofthe Bank , therefore it was forced to go in Mr . O'Connor's name . Tho manager bad been engaged for a specific period , and Mr . O'Connor was compelled to bear the expense . Messrs . Hotchinqs and Wilson were in favour of the petition . They believed that Mr . O'Connor was the sole proprietor .

      Mr . * Bund corroborated the statement of Mr . Wheeler relative to the Bank , as did other persons . Mr . Slocombb showed by the printed rules that there had been a connexion between the Land and Bank . If the money of the Bank was laid out in the Company ' s land , the Bank could not be broken up mthont it was done in connexion with the Land Company . Mr . Blooufield said , if the allottees and shareholders were to be bound by the rules , why should not Mr . O'Connor ? Be denied the imputation that they were actuated by any personal or vindictive motive . They were actuated solely by the wish to see justice done to all .

      Mr . Habbisox wished to know whether the Land Company was benefited in any way by the Bank . If so , they had a right to bear the expenses ; but not otherwise . Mr . O'Connor had often stated he ¦ was sole proprietor of the Bank . Mr . Iawhhsce thought they should investigate the whole affair of the Land and Bank . Mr . Ireland said he had been a depositor in the Bank , because be felt that the Land being security for the deposits , it was safer than in any other bank ; but the connexion between the Land and Bank existed no further than that supposed security . It was an act of dishonesty to make them pay the debt of the Bank . He denied that the allottees were the men they had been represented to be . As far as his experience went , they had struggled honestly with the adverse circumstances they had met with .

      Mr . Sibattos wished to know whether the want of a lease prevented the land from producing its fruits ? Mr . Davis had been a frequent visitor at the estates , and believed that-the want of leases was one great cause of the failure of the Plan . Mr . Buck said he believed that a man would never succeed on two acres of land , without proper capital . He denied that the shareholders alone were to blame . Mr . O'Connor had displayed a great want of judgment . He thought the Directors should long since have resigned , and that they should not be paid their back salaries . Mr . Oliver ( Snig ' s End ) stated that they had been greatly disappointed in tbeir expectations . While they were building at Snig ' s End , if the men who worked at tbe building found fault with the materials of which the houses were built , they were gagged .

      Mr . Siallwoos stated that he did not come there as an enemy to Mr . O'Connor , but as a member of the Land Company . Mr . " Price had received a snm of between one and two thousand pounds as manager , besides the salaries of the clerks . He denied that the Bank Was connected with the Land . Messrs . Clark and Doyle were opposed to the clause . Mr . Wueeleb explained that they only opposed its connexion after the three years of Mr . Price ' s agreement had expired . Jobs Clark said they opposed it because they , as Directors , had no power over the Bank . The votes were then taken , when fourteen voted for the amendment , and thirty-eight for tbe original motion . Upwards of sixteen persons who had bun residents at the locations were present .

      The petition was then ordered to be entrusted to Sir Benjamin Hall for presentation . The committee were then allowed to act , with the addition of delegates from the localities . After the meeting adjourned , a number of the shareholders formed themselves into a committee , Mr . Wheeler acting as secretary pro . tan ., for the purpose of purchasing , by means of subscriptions and the dividends arising from their shares , one of the localities—O'Connorville leing suggested as the most eligible . They will meet on Sunday afternoon , at three o ' clock , in the above hall , when Mr . Stratton will lecture on the " Winding up of the National Land Company . " Friends favourable to the object are desired to attend .

      THE LAND COMPANY . J . BEATTIE AT THE CITY CHARTIST HALL . TO T . O ' COSSOB , BBQ ., M . /» Respected Sib , —By the desire of John imnKwater I write to say , in answer to 3 . Seattle ' s statement , made at the meeting of Land inerobers at the City Chartist Hall , London , when he said he had not received any money for rent , and which statement was published in the JVbrtaern Star . Mr . Drinkwater paid him £ 26 for rent . I gave the receipts to Mr . Clark and Mr . M'Gratb , when at Oxford , on the trial , which they have never returned , so . of course , they have them .

      Drinkwater drained bis three acres at his own expense * lie also drained Seattle ' s one acre , for which Seattle paid him four shillings . Drinkwater bought forty load of manure , besides five shillings worth of Beattie , which he put on tbe land , so that he paid Beattie £ 26 5 s . He ( Drinkwater ) paid for the manure five weeks before he had it , as Besttie said he wanted money . So you see he sold the manure he made . lours faithfully , Cbarterville , April 7 th . C . Willis . P . S . —As J . Drinkwater cannot write , he has cheerfully put his mark to the above facts .

      J . BRADSHAW , ANOTHER ILL-USED ALLOTTEE . Cbarterville . April 7 th , 1851 . Sib , —I feel it my duty to tell you that , before J : Bradsbaw left here , he used very threatening language towards you , telling Mr . Bilstead that he * would not mind being hung for you , He has frequently asked me to writa to you for money ^ Just before the trial came on at Oxford , he wished me to write to you to say , that if you would send him some money to take his family away , he would leave . I did write to the Directors at the time . Some time previous , I wrote a petition for bun , to his friends at Huddersfieldfor a loan of & lo . l

      ; told him I would , on condition that I should say he was not entitled to the Aid Money ; as I told him Mr . Sykes ought to have come ' forward and tasen his Aid Money , and then he might have handed it over to him . I told him that , out of so many hundred members who knew him , surely they would subscribe a shilling or sixpence each , that would make up the loan ; but his friends only sent him a few shillings , telling him to go and seek work , which offended him . After I had done what I could for him , he allowed his son ( together with others ) to fire off a musket for about half an . hour , and to

      make a great bonfire befoie my house , because I dared to defend you against their calumny . Only think of his coming to me after that , to write to you for tbe money 1 before alluded to . Hereceived great kindness from many ofthe allottees . I rebuked him for allowing his children to go dancing every week , which was the cause Of the vice Mr . Price mentioned . in his letter . No one can speak of this vice better than John Wilcock , of Nottingham , who attempted to deny it by writing to the Star . Tours in the cause of freedom , C .

      Honesty Fund In The Potteries. The Only ...

      HONESTY FUND IN THE POTTERIES . The only sums I have received , during the last fortnight , are from the following persons : —M . Brierley , 6 d . ; Joseph Hey wood , 6 d . ; Buckley Milbench , of Waterhead Mill , near Oldham , 6 d . ; and Lucy Carol , Jersey-street , Manchester , 6 d . Deducting expenses for printing , « fce . ( which could not be avoided ) , from the amount already received , will leave upwards of £ 5—rather a heavy sum for the Pottery men to subscribe before these valuable articles can be disposed of . When they made tbe generous offer , not a doubt was entertained but double the sum would have been sent in—more especially as the appeal was of no ordinary character embracing two © Meets , namely , to really assist

      a good and worthy man , and also to show to a vigilant enemy that the working classes were not mere shouters . It is a remarkable circumstance that the Pottery Democrats , at the commencement , placed some reliance on Manchester , and a quantity of handbills were sent there ; but mark the result—one peor Irishwoman , Lucy Carol , has sent the only sixpence that bas been received from tbe metropolis of Chartism . . Thus situated , without the prospect of another far thing being paid , except by the Pottery men themselves , the committee cannot fix any definite time ; but on this they buvedecided , that no disposal of the articles shall take place until the full money is paid in . When this is done , the time will be duly announced . Robert Hopkinsox , Secretary .

      The April Session Of The Central Crimina...

      The April session of the Central Criminal Court commenced on Monday morning , before the Right Hod . the Lord Mayor , the Right Hon . the Recorder , the Common Sergeant , Mr . Alderman Carter , the Sheriffs , < fcc . . Chimikal Assault . —Thomas Biahton , a person of gentlemanly appearance , and who , it appeared , had formerly held a commission in the army , surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment for misdemeanour in having unlawfully assaulted a young girl , named Martha Bolton , with a felonious intent . —From the evidence of the prosecutrix , a girl thirteen years of age , it appeared that the defendant , who is a married man , lived at Lewiaham

      , and she had been in his service eleven months at the time of the occurrence . On the evening of the 23 rd of January the wife of the defendant had gone to a concert in London , accompanied by a girl named-Eliza Marshall , who was also a servant in the family ,. and one of her children , and tho assault was represented to have been committed while the defendant and the prosecutrix were alone in the house . The evidence negatived the fact of the commission of a felony , and merely went to establish the misdemeanour . The prosecutrix narrated the facts , which , of course , are not of a character to

      be detailed , and she stated that on the same night she communicated to her fellow-servant , Eliza Marshall , what had occurred , bat it appeared that she said nothing to her mother , or any other person , until several days afterwards , and she : accounted for this by saying that her fellow-servant pressed her so earnestly to say nothing about it , that she consented to do so , until she found herself in such a state of illness that it was necessary to obtain medical advice . The jury , after considerable deliberation , found the defendant Guilty of a common assault ,, and he was sentenced to three months ' imprisonment .

      Horse SiBALiso .- ^ Charles Yarl , 27 , dealer , was indicted for stealing a mare , valued at £ 6 , the property of William Baldry . —The particulars out of which the charge arose were these . The prosecutor is a farmer and dealer residing at . Twickenham , and pr isoner had been in his employment , and had upon some occasions sold for him . In February last prosecutor , had a cob and mare pony , the former of which was for sale . On the 18 th prisoner came and took the cob away to show a gentleman , and brought it back , saying that he could sell the pony . Prosecutor told him he would hot part with it . The prisoner , having waited until he went from home , came and took both awav . He came

      back a few days afterwards with the cob , and said he had shown the other to a gentleman at Acton . It was ultimately discovered that the pony bad been sold to some one at Hyde Park . The prisoner did not come back to where he lived until a week afterwards , and he was then apprehended , and upon bis being searched £ 4 Is . was found on him , he having sold the mare for £ 6 ;—For the defence it was urged that the prisoner might have supposed he had a right to deal with the pony ; and it was proved that prior to this transaction he bad borne an excellent character . —The jury found him Guilty , and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard labour .

      Foboebt . —J . L . Horrocks , 49 , described as a merchant , pleaded guilty to two indictments , charging him with feloniously forging and uttering two bills of exchange for £ 430 9 s . IA . and £ 602 , with intent to defraud William Christy and others . He was sentenced to be transported for fourteen years . Stealing Cheques . —James Bond , 22 , chemist , also pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a quantity of cheques and other valuable instruments , the property of George William Acton . —It appeared that while a clerk was in the act of paying iu the instruments in question at the bankers , the prisoner rushed in and snatched up the property and ran off with it . —He was sentenced to be transported for ten years .

      Post-office Robhbries . —J . Cook , 24 , a postoffice carrier , pleaded guilty to ah indictment charging him with secreting and destroying three letters , the property of the Postmaster-General . — It was stated by Mr . Clarkson , who appeared for the prosecution , that no dishonest motive was imputed to the prisoner , but that he had ,. whilst in a state of intoxication , deliberately destroyed the letters to save himself the trouble of delivering them . —He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour . J . D . Burke , 19 , a Post-office clerk , pleaded guilty to two indictments , charging him with stealing letters containing property belonging to the Postmaster-General . —He was sentenced to be transported for twelve years . J . Smith , 35 , who pleaded Guilty to a similar charge , was also sentenced to be transported for ten years . .

      J . Reynolds , 48 , likewise pleaded Guilty to the charge of stealing letters the property of tho Postmaster-General . — He was sentenced to be transported for ten years . Pubtobt . —Mary Anne Parkes and Jane Lewis , who were convicted of perjury at the last session , and upon whom judgment was respited , were ; then placed at the bar . —The Recorder , in passing sentence , said , that the prisoners had been convicted of a very serious crime—that of conspiring together falsely to charge a young man holding a high position with being the father of the child _ of one of them , Mary Anne Parkes , when it appeared that she had constantly cohabited with another man , whom she had admitted was tbe actual parent Ot her child , and that there was no real foundation for

      the charge that was made . It appeared , however , that she had become connected with a discharged policeman , who was tbe person referred to , and it was possible that they had both been made the tool of that person , and the jury had recommended them to mercy on that account . He should take that recommendation into consideration ; but it was impossible to pass over such an offence without a sentence of some severity . He therefore felt It his duty to order Parkes , who had already been in prison for two months , to be further imprisoned and kept to hard labour for nine months ; and with regard to the other prisoner , who probably had been fed into the commission of the offence by her companion and theman to whom he . had alluded , the sentence would be six months' imprisonment and

      hard labour . . ' . # . . Felokhvcs Assaults nr a Sbroeoh . —William Grey Smitbe , 47 , surgeon , was then ' placed at the bar , to-take his trial upon severarindictments , char ^ nE him with felonious assaults upon girls oi tender age .-Mr . Payne and Mr . Parry appeared on behalf of the prosecution , and the prisoner was defended hy Messrs . Clarkson and Ballantme . —me public have been already made but too well acquainted with the disgusting details of tbe offences imputed to the prisoner by the police reports . _ " will be remembered that he carried on the profession of in VauxhallwalkLambethand it was l uiui i

She said that in July 1849 , she was playing with a girl , named Julia Wickes , in Park-street , Kennington-cross , when the prisoner came up to them and asked Wickes if » meant to come to his house that night , and she said

The prosecutrix m this Ci \ 3 e was a girl seventeen years old , and she stated that , in the summer of 1349 , she was going about to look for a situation , and , in consequence of a bill she saw in a shop window , the contents of which were read to her by another girl , she went to tho prisoner ' s house , and on her asking him if he wanted a eirl he told her he did :

      and at once took her up to the bed-room , where he poured three different sorts of liquor into a small tumbler and gave them to her to drink , telling her the hquor would not hurt her j and the moment she drank it she became partially insensible . The witness stated that upon this the prisoner took off her olotbesand proceeded to insult her , but her evidence failed to show the commission of a felony . She stated that the prisoner eventually gave her a shilling , and told her to come again to see him the next day , but she did not do so ; and' it appeared that she did not mention what had taken place until the police had made some inquiries with regard to other transactions , in which her sister Martha was concerned with the prisoner . In

      crossexamination the prosecutrix said that after what happened with the prisoner , she went home and washed herself , and afterwards went with Julia Wickes and Stevens , the prosecutrix in the former indictment , to the Victoria Theatre , and that they did not get home till twelve o ' clock at night . She likewise admitted that she had gone to Greenwich Fair with a yohn ' g man named Teddy Toose and another " young cap , " and a girl named Maria Baker , who since then had wa'ked the streets . — Mr . Justice Erie having summed up , the jury found the prisoner Guilty of an assault . The prisoner was then charged ^ upon a third indictment , with the commission of tbe same offence upon a girl named Mary Anne Hall . —The

      prosecutrix in this case deposed that she was thirteen years old in July last , and that in January of the present year she was living with her father and mother , in High-street , Lambeth . About the end of that month she said that she met two girls , ' named M'Lachlan aiid Martha Hockenden , and they asked her to go with them to Dr . Smthe ' s . She consented to do so , but was notaware what was . tlie object for which she went . When they got to his house , they said to tbe prisoner , " We have brought you this little girl , " and he replied , "That is good , " but added that he could not speak to her then , and she must come the next morning , when he promised to take her into his service . She went on the following morning , and was engaged for two

      or three days in doin ? the household work , and on the Saturday in the same week she said that . Martna Hockenden undressed her , and made her go to bed , and then undressed herself , and the prisoner afterwards came into the room . The witness then gave some details which are not fit for publication , with regard to the conduct , of the prisoner , but it appeared that upon this occasion she resisted him successfully , and that he kicked her out of bod , and told her to get out of the house . She went away , but it appeared that she made no complaint of the prisoner ' s conduct , and on the Tuesday afterwards she went again to the . house to fetch away an apron and a pair of boots which she had left there , and upon this occasion she represented that . the

      prisoner committed the act imputed to him by force , and without her consent . —The prosecutrix underwent a severe cross-examination by Mr . Ballantine , and it was elicited from her that the girl M'Lacblan was a prostitute , and- that she lived in White Horsestreet , Lambeth , and that she herself had slept at that house with her on the Monday night-previous to the day on which she represented the prisoner to have committed the offence . It also appeared that she made no complaint of any misconduct on his part until her mother made some discovery , and pressed her upon the subject , and it was then only that she disclosed what had occurred . It appeared ,

      however , that when the prosecutrix was examined by the doctor who was . called in for that purpose , she distinctly denied that the prisoner had ever interfered with her . —The jury continued in deliberation until nearly ten o ' clock , when they returned a verdict of Guilty . —The prisoner was brought up again on Thursday , when ho was sentenced to be transported . for life . : ' ' •'; The prisoner was then indicted with the young woman , Francis . Taylor , alias Fanny Forman , for the joint offence of conspiracy . —Both prisoners were found Guilty—the sentence upon the iemale prisoner was imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction for two years .

      Stealing a Watch . — William Hubbersjoeld , " 18 , groom , was indicted for stealing n gold watch and chain , valued £ 27 10 a ., the property of John Donald George Higgon . lie was . also indicted for felo . niously receiving it . —The prosecutor , whose appearance is exceedingly juvenile , is a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery at Woolwich , and he stated that on the evening of Friday , the 21 st of March , he was in Captain Standish's room in the barracks . At about ten he had his watch . safe , for the conversation turning on watches he took his from hia pocket , and at a later hour he felt it in his pocket . He could not recollect anything more about it , but the next day found it was gono from his pocket . The chain produced was his , and attached to his

      watch at the time ho must have lost it . In answer to tho prisoner , who cross-examined the prosecutor with very great tact , hesaid there was one female in our company in Capt . Standish's room . . I came out with her and took a walk in Woolwich ,, and then returned to the barracks , and she went with me to my quarters . She came to my room and stayed there with me . She did not go away until half-past two the next day . ( Laughter . )—Prisoner ( very politely ) : Pardon me taking the liberty to mention the lady ' s name , but pray vras it not Miss Ann Mackintosh?—Prosecutor ( withgreat suavity ) : You ' ll excuse me , but you are quite mistaken in the person . It was . not * Jliss Mackintosh ; it was Jessie Shirty . ( Much lauchter . )—Ann Brown , a

      a woman of the town in Woolwich , said that on Friday night the prisoner passed the night with her , and in the morning , at his request , she pledged the chain . —Gladwin , an officer , said that the prisoner first told him he , had found tho chain , and then that he had received it from Miss Mackintosh ; The watch had hot been found . —Miss Mackintosh , a short , showily attired , but by no means prcpossesing specimen of her class , . said she knew nothing" of the prisoner , —The ! prosecutor said he had been in Mackintosh ' s company during the evening ; she also had been at . the quarters . — The jury found him Guilty of receiving . —A former conviction was then proved . The prisoner said he had been an officer ' s servant , and if another chance was given him , ho would got into some service . —The Common Sergeant : It will be in another country theni—Transported for seven years .

      " An Irish Fight . —T . Macarthy , 30 , J . Maoarthy , 26 , and Patrick Maloney , 23 , were all indicted for feloniously stabbing John Rourke , within tent . — According'to the statement of the prosecutor , an Irish labourer , it appeared that on the evening of Sunday , tho 16 th of March , he was in Red Lionyard , New Brentford , where there was an Irish row , when all the prisoners , and some women who were with them , seized and struck him , and finally the prisoner , John Macarthy seized him , and held him whilst the other struck at him with a knife , causing several slight incised wounds in . the head , Maloney also took a part in further ill-using him . — The jury acquitted John Maearlhy , and convicted Maloney of a common assault , and Thomas Macarthy of cutting with intent to do bodily harm . — Thomas Macarthy was' sentenced to fifteen years transportation , and Maloney to eighteen months ' imprisonment and hard labour .

      FoEQKR ? . —John Clemishaw Wright , 30 , ' oilman , was indicted for utterring a forged request for tho delivery of goods with intent to defraud John Henry Hunt . —It was proved that on , the . ; 18 th of February in the present year , a man named Bensworth , a master carman , was sent by the prisoner to tho prosecutors , who are the largo soap-makers , ot Lambeth , with an order , purporting to come from Messrs . Knight and Knight , merchants , ; Three Cranes Whaif , for 1 , 5001 b ? . weight . of mottled soap . The prosecutors haying some suspicion told the oarmen to call the next day , as they had-not time thenlo . pack the . goods ' . The carman communicated this to the prisoner , who directed him to go

      again and went with him . In tbe in terim the prosecutor found that the order was forged , and when the carman came the soap was given to him , and Dixon , an officer of the L division , having been set on the watch , saw the prisoner . come to tbe carman and was directing him to drive the cart away , when hOi took him . in custody . —The jury found him Guilty . —It was . proved tliat in 1849 , the prisoner had been convicted of obtaining 3201 bs . of soft soap under similar circumstances . —There was another indictment for obtaining a ton weight of white lead , by means of a forged order , arid also ; one for burglary . — The prisoner was ordered to be transported for life . .. .. _ ...

      UMTED T 1 UDE S . I T . S , DtHiCOMBis , Esq ., M . P ., President . . Established 1845 . " hat justitu . " "If it were possible fur the working classes , by combinin ;? among themselves , to raise ,, or keep up the general rate of wages , it need hardly be said that this would be a thing not to be punished , but to be welcomed and rejoiced at . " Stoaut > lni .

      It is . now nearly four years since , in pursuance oi our duties in connexion with this movement , we commenced writing in / aveur of an " organisation ot labour , " for purely industrial purposes . Like the Roman Raven , whose loval master bad taught it to greet the great Caesar * as , he passed daliy to the Capitol , with " Vivat Imperator "—] m the Emperor , so have we been constantly for that period calling upon the working classes for that one general requisite — Organisation — or as Daniel O Conner ' s cry was , "Agitate . ' agitate ! agitate \" Our ' a bas been " Organise ! organise ! organise . '" We have called for an organisation of labour as the necessity of the age-as the very firjt requisite , before

      any movement can progress which can be uhimately beneficial to the interests of labour . We have argued , that an organisation to be useful must be national . Mere sectional , localised union avail nothing . If anything , they make " confusion worse confounded . " The Engine Driven of Scotland , must likely , locally organised , travel southward , io supply the vacancies caused by a resistance of op . pression by the locally organised Engine-men of Ihe Eastern Counties . The Engine Drivers of the Northern Division of the North Western are forced to submit , to the most oppressive regulations , be . cause the locally organised Drivers of the Southern Division and other lines , were ready to Bunnly their places .

      The united Compositors of Edinburgh , step into the railway carriage and proceed to Loudon , to fill the frames , at lower wages , in the printing office ol the Morning Post , and the organised Compositors of London walk out to make room for them . Tbe Briekmakers of York fly , without hesitation , to assist tbe misters of Ashton to reduce the value of labour , the duly thing which they themselves , poor dupes , have to subsist on . And thus it is , in every part of the country , in every department of labour , the working classes , by their disunited organisations , are preying upon each other , to the great advantage of those whose greatest gain is their destruction . " Divide and govern , " the tyrant ' s masiro , is well understood—but to " unite and conquer" appear as far as labour is concerned , words without any definite meaning .

      In contending for a national organisation of labour , we are aware that we expose ourselves to a very plausible , if not an unanswerable , objectiontb « t a really national organisation is a moral impracticability . •' We use the word " national" in a somewhat move restricted sense . We know that at present , and for ages to come , it will be morally impracticable to unite the six or seven millions of British labourers in any one organisation . We fear that for ages there will be a fearful majority of our fellow men too absolutely ignorant too selfishly ignorant , and too viciously ignorant , ever to he brought to a due sense of the benefits

      and necessity of union . Mental ignorance , selfishness , and vice , are certainly serious , and , at present , immovable barriers , to a truly national con * federation of labour . We must , therefore , be considered to confine our national aspirings to the more limited section of the comparatively educated ) Ml * lightened , and moral of our fellow men . But , even in this narrowed sphere of operations , what ample material from wliich to build up such a confederation of labour upon a base so wide as the world never yet saw ; and that might , without it being termed a solecism , lay claim to the term national ? If the existing fragmentary associations , which are now practically destroying each other hy their »

      arrow views and intense selfishness , could he brought into one fold , and under one central management , for- all general purposes , what an immeasurable change uouldsoon be effected in the fortunes of labour ! We arc not now speaking of those to whom the word union h unknown , or by whom it is not understood , but of those thousands upon whose lips it dwells as a household word , hut into whose hearts it has net yet found a lodgment . Bui do we blame these men ? ' No;—we know this all proceeds from a contracted view of the import of the word ; the united effects of their position and of the teachings of those whom they have set up to perform the important functions of thinking for them . Yes , as surely as a large majority of the people have their political opinions formed for

      them by the newspaper they are most in the habit of reading , so have the great bulk of the most advanced sections of the working classes Vheir no tions of that union which they are told is strength formed for them by the men whom they have se up as leaders * Tbe only remedy tor this evil is in the selection of leaders , to look a little below the surface for the qualifications most useful for that important function . The most valuable ore is not found at the surface ; but , unfortunately , the qualities which are most alluring to the multitude are generally of a very superficial character . The sterling and useful are rarely found ' allied with the showy and ornamental . Iron is less captivating to tbe eye than gold and silver , but it is immeasurably more valuable .

      We should prefer Joseph Hume as a political leader to tbe merely eloquent Sheil ; and we also think one Thomas Duncomhe would outweigh , in sterling Legislative value , a dozen Disraelis . We are glad , however , to find that the working men are beginning to think for themselves . It is a good and wholesome sign , and ' will bring forth its fruits in good season . ' We have received a copy of the indictment , and are astounded at the immensity of the legal labour which , has been consumed aud wasted-in preparing the precious document . After wading through its mazy labyrinth of legal repetitions and fictitious assertions , we rose from its perusal almost as wise ai

      though we had never seen it . We certainly fail to discover any act of illegality that we have committed or participated in , and were it not that we duly appreciate tbe jary-impremng power of legal ingenuity and forensic impudence , we should look upon the whole affair as a contemptible farce . The gravamen of the charge appears to be for conspiring and agreeing , & c , with divers and other persons , as wickedly and evilly disposed as ourselves , with force of arms , and by certain davk , subtle , and shockingly wicked devices and practices , to injure , ruin , oppress , annoy , obstruct , annihilate , and destroy one Richard Perry , and his amiable son George Henry . We are charged with the same acts , designs , and damnable imaginings , against certain of

      his workmen—to wit , fifty of them ; and , more heinous than all , we have perpetrated the same evil designs against divers individuals who were not employed by the said Richard and George Henry Perry , nor any other person , but who might be willing to be employed but for our wicked persuasion , threats , and intimidation ; that we made intoxicated , and senselessly drunk , divers of these men , and all of them , and spirited them away , out of the reach of the aforesaid Richard and George Henry , & c , to their great ruin and destruction , and of our Lady ,. the Queen , her Crown and dignity . And all these wicked doings , and others , darkly insinuated and inferred , are ingeniously woven into this twenty-count-weft , to tbe infinite perplexity and bewilderment of the mental faculties of whatever

      jury may be chosen to unravelthis barbarously constructed webb . Wo really scarcely know which is to be most pitied , the unfortunate defendant , or the unfortunate jury . But is it not monstrous that nino men should be dragged into a court of law , at a cost of hundreds of pounds , to answer such afarago of absurdities ? , If , we have . committed ; any offence knowri to the law , vrhich ; we utterly deny , why are we r . ot charged , with it . in . a straightforward , intelligible | manner ? If we have violated tbe statute laws , why are we not charged under the manner therein indicated * The reason ia obvious . The Perrys know full well' that the whole of our proceedings , from ' first to last , have , been , lawful and moral . We have not injured , nor sought to

      injure , any man , and there is no written , law under which ho would have the slightest chance of a conviction . Hence we arc to be subjected to the pains and penalties of a prosecution , which if it fails in leading to our conviction , shall at least crush us by its expenses . But even in this malicious design we trust the conspiring faction will find themselves deceived . The boot may unexpectedly be found on the other leg . Our advices from all parts are all highly cheenngand encouraging , both in respect of the means wbichare in progress toassistusin meeting this iniquitous proceeding , and also innumerable applications and inquiries into the objects and principles of the Association . The Boilermakers . of Swindon , Manchester , Cork , Leeds , a » d Stratford m addition to those m ntioned last week , have sent to w foe tufonaation ; voA the general prospects of

      Delegate Meeting Op The Metftopff ! Lita...

      DELEGATE MEETING OP THE METftOPff ! LITAff TRADES . uainvru-A meeting of Delegates of the Trades of the metropolis was held at the BefJ Inn , Old Bailey , on the Sth of April , to take into consideration the ' undisguised attempt of the manufacturers of Wolverhampton to put down the legal combination of their workmen . Messrs . Poll , Winters , and Humphries , from the Central Committee of the National Association , attended , and entered into a full statement of the circumstances which have given birth- to the two indictments for conspiracy , preferred by the brothers Edward and George Henry Perry , nominally ; but which there is ample grounds for believing have been instituted by a joint effort , and at the joint expense of a numerous and powerful confederation of wealthy manufacturers . Mr . Mkrewmuek , tin-plate worker , was called to the chair .

      Mr . Pkbi ,, Secretary ofthe National Association , and one of the alleged conspirators , read a condensed narrative of all the leading circumstances which have transpired in connexion with the Wolverhampton strike , as far as the National Association had been concerned , and which extends over a space Of more than twelve months . The narrative was listened to with the greatest attention , and excited a unanimous interest and sympathy . At its conclusion—and after some further explanations by Mr . Winters , and particularly an abstract of the contents of the twenty counts of the principal indictment , which measures nine and a half yards , the reading of which excited much amusement , for its absurd charges and ridiculous tautology—it was moved by Mr . James , carpenter , and seconded by Mr , SHERIDAN , bookbinder : — " That the address just read be printed , and circulated

      among the trades of Great Britain . " An animated discussion took place , as to the best means to bo adopted te bring the subject fully before the Trades , with a view of promoting the means of an efficient defence , It was admitted on all bands to be a question intimately affecting the rights of labour generally , and not confined to the individuals directly implicated . It was then resolved that the meeting should stand adjourned to Thursdary evening . the 17 th inst ., and that a central metropolitan defence committee should be then formed for organising the means for the defence , and that until such committee was definiteiyfonned , and properofficers permanently appointed , all subscriptions in aid ofthe Defence Fund , should be transmitted to Mr . William Peel , secretary , pro . tern ., addressed to him at the Bell Inn , Old Balioy . All Post office Orders to be made payable at the Bloomsbury post-office .

      The Sailors' Strike. Manchester.—The Pre...

      THE SAILORS' STRIKE . Manchester . —The present position of the seamen located in this borough is ono of extreme hardship , inasmuch as the magistrates have peremptorily prohibited the seamen from going round the town to receive contributions towards their support . In Bolton several of the poor fellows have been arrested ,, and taken before the Mayor , who , without ceremony , committed them to gaol for fourteen days . The worthy gentleman , it appears , shortly after repented of his conduct , and ordered them to be again brought before him , telling them they must leave the town in an hour ;

      with this injunction the poor fellows thought proper to comply ; and here we would observe , that against two ofthe number there was not the slightest charge . Tiiey only went to the Court for the purpose of aBcortaining the fate of their companions . When his worship asked them would they quit the town , the answer vras , moat dwidedly / mti . Then you stand committed forfourteendays , wastherejoinder of the administrator of justice , and they were immediately taken to the cell , but not locked up . This attack on the liberty of the subject has made a great impression upon the inhabitants of Bolton , some of whom have suggested to

      the committee the propriety of bringing the matter before the ' superior courts ; with this suggestion we would readily comply , but we are crippled for want of funds ; and we most earnestly implore our fellow countrymen to give us all the aid in their power . Donations and subscriptions will be thankfull y received at Mr . W . Pairs , sign of tbe Cotton Tree , Great ARCoats-street ; or at the Friendship Tavern , Ancoats-street , Spear-street , Manchester . Any friend at a distance , who

      may wish to assist us , will please to send a Post-office Or'der , made payable to Mr . Thos . Fields , No . i , Fawcett-street , Great Ancoatsstreet , who will thankfully receive and duly acknowledge the same . The committee have resolved to hold a Conference of seamen in Manchester , from all the principal porta ill the Kingdom , on Easter Tuesday , when arrangements will be made for more efficiently carrying out tho objects of the Seamens ' Guardian Society .

      Buitr , Lancashire . —A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Bury was held on Tuesday evening last , in the Commercial Buildings—Mr . ltollinson in the chair—who , after a few preliminary observations introduced Mr . James Leach , of Manchester . Mr . Leach delivered a short and eloquent speech , upon " Union for the rights of Labour ; " and sat down loudly applauded . The meeting was next addressed b y Mr . "Watkins , a seaman of colour , who elicited reiterated rounds of cheering hy the humorous

      manner in which he depicted the blustering sad bullying of those shipmasters who carry out the provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act . He was followed by Mr . James Fildes , secretary to the Seamen ' s Guardian Society , who went into a lengthened detail of the many acts of injustice practised upon the too confiding seamen , and denounced , in strong and energetic language , the robberies to which " poor Jack " is subjected , at the caprice of shipmasters and government officials ; and concluded amid loud' cheers . Mr . Jones ,

      news agent , moved ; and Mr . Asbury seconded , the adoption of the following Memorial to her Majesty , which being put to the meeting was carried without a single dissentient , and ordered to be signed and transmitted by the chairman to Lord Stanley , for presentation to the Queen . The Memorial of your Majesty ' s Dutiful and Loyal Subjects of the Town of llury , in the County of Lancaster , in Public Meeting « ss » mbled , this 8 th day of April , 1851 , HUMBLI SllllWETO ,

      That the present Mercantile Marine Act is most prejudicial to the interests of British Merchant Seamen , and is most oppressive and severe in its operation , inasmuch as it ia the means of vesting an almo-t unlimited and irresponsible power in the hands of musters of shti 8 , Which , providing they think fit to < Mirry oat , enables them to inflict heavj penalties for the most trivial ? fi ' ences , or ¦ what they may lieem suc-h , so that the mariner , notwithstanding his perilous and toilsome vocation , is liable to be deprived of a great portion of Ills earnings , to gratify the caprice or vindicn ' veness of commanders of ships .
