Caress Of Charles Dij1uns. Charles Dicke...
CARESS OF CHARLES DIJ 1 UNS . Charles Dickens was born about the year 1810 , and inlS 31 ( when he was twenty-four years of age ) , he filled an obscure situation in connexion with the daily newspaper press of London . The name of the newspaper to which he contributed the " Sketches b y Boz , " which first attracted the attention of the literary public , was the Evening Chronicle . The extraor . nary success of these sketches caused them to he collected in two volumes in 1 S 35 , and their circulation was unparalleled . His second book was published in 1837 , and entitled , "The Pickwick Papers . " This is one of Mr . Dickens ' s happiest eiforts . and h ?» afforded us many a meny hour . Nicholas Nickleby ' was his next work . In this we have many
melanchoir and more mirthful p ictures . The ill-used Snuke—the starved scholars at Dotheboy ' s-Iuill—and Nicholas s adventures with thestrolling p layers company—are all described in his best manner . Alter Republication of this work , a new magazine made ibappeaiauce , entitled » BeDtl «> Mttedtaay , " ot which he became the editor , and in it gave to the public his nest novel , " Oliver Iwist" ho I . of ' a new and revised edition of this work has just made its appearance , published by Messrs . Bradbury and Evans " Master Humphrey ' s Clock was commenced in 1 S 40 and is a series of tales by our author , " Barnabr Rudge" being the principal one . In 1842 Mr . Dickens on returning from America ( to which he
had made a short trip ) , published his American Botes for General Circulation . Jn 1813 , he began " Martin Chuzzlewit , " in which the Americans do not figure Tervfavourably . Mr . Dickens hasalso publisheda " Christinas Carol" in prose , " ThcChimes , " and , as onr readers know , " The Cricket on the Hearth . " The very name of Boz recalls to our minds the very happiest of recollections . Mr . Pickwick , with his merry face , " a perfect map of smiles "—Sam "Weuer , with all his irresistible drollery andhisnie . ry impudence—Little Bell—Oliver Twist—Toby Veck —Tiny Tim—and hundreds of other individual portraits , " have all left an impression which we hope will never be effaced .
Sin Peter Laurie Asd Joseph Adt.—The Fol...
Sin Peter Laurie asd Joseph Adt . —The following was handed by Alderman Wilson to Sir Peter Laurie , at Guildhall : — Mr . Alderman "Wilson , —The occasion of my now writing is this . Through the malice of Sir Peter Laurie I am daily insulted in my own bouse . To day two men , at least six feet high , came here demanding a return of 20 s ., and before I could ascertain whether it was due or not , laid hold of me , threatening violence , and obliged me to call outmorder , fastening tbe door and the windows .
As soon as they found help coming , they ran away ; and last week , one Joseph Lay remained wilfully some time on the premises , shouting and threatening my life , before I could get a constable , who thrust him out with great difficulty . Be so good as to teach Sir Peter , if he has cause to see me , he must go to a proper court . I am not in tbe dry jurisdiction , and bis publishing bis hostility may Tae tUe promotion of murder . I have known even a Quaker to die with a poker or carving knife in bis hand , when attacked by a murderer , { vide Symonds and lloddesdou , Herts . ) Respectfully , J . Apr .
The ground of our dispute is his detention of my books . Tyarsnow has them , and if he will persist that he has wilfully destroyed them , Sir Peter is rich enough to pay . Lo « d Habbt Vase is said to have purchased the Hampden estates , in Buckinghamshire , so that a descendant of the famous Sir Harry Vane is now possessor of the inheritance of the great John Hampden .
Attempted Mcrdbr And Scicide Through The...
ATTEMPTED MCRDBR AND SciCIDE THROUGH THE Cama-cr o p a sos to bus Father . —On Tuesday cODiidfrable excitement prevailed in the town of Old Brentford , in consequence of the determined attempt of an aged inhabitant to assassinate his son by stabbing him , and then attempting self-destruction by cutting his throat . The facts are as follow : Thomas Low , tie would-be murderer , is aged 73 , and had for years carried on the business of ashoemaker at Brentford End , near the residence of the Duke of Cumberland ; but some months since , in consequence of tailing into difficulties , he made his business over to bis son , who is in his 30 th year . His affairs in the course of time being arranged , he returned home to resume his business , but he was refused admittance
by his son , who thrust him ont of doors . He has Since subsisted on the charity of friends ; but every means being exhausted , he came to the resolution of making one more effort to obtain a shelter in his former dwelling . For that purpose he on Tuesday forenoon repaired thither , but the son spurning Ms appeal , he , in a moment of excitement caught up a knife , which lay on the table , and stabbed him in tiie breast , and then drew the same knife across his own . throat , inflicting a frightful wound . An alarm being instantly given , a surgeon was sent for , who pronounced the son to have received an injury to one of the vital organs , which would probabl v prove fatal . The father remains under the care of " Mr . Keate , ttrgeon . but no hopes are entertained of his ultimate
recovery . The Recext Railway Accidest in the Isle of Thaset . —On Saturday last an inquest was held before T . T . Lesairx , Esq .. coroner for theeastern division of the county of Kent , at the Five Bells public house , in the village of Minster , He ofThanet , on the body of James Hollands , a young man who met with his death on the works of the Kamsgate , Canterbury , aad London Railway . John Monckton , labourer , was the first witness called . He deposed that on Thursday last he was on a ballast waggon with deceased , near the " tip end of the line , " witness meant the point where the wageons were tipped over andthe contents thrown out . This wason the extersionlineoftheSonth-Eastem Railwav , between the villages of Sana and Minster . There were eiffht
waggons , all laden with ballast and propelled bv a steam engine . They were under the management of a person named James Armstrong . On arriving at the tip end the first two waggons turned over the end of the line . Witness jumped off , but deceased was thrown foreground . The contents of one of the waggons fell over him , and buried him . Witness , with others , endeavoured to extricate deceased as soon as possible , but he was quite dead . Two other men were also partially buried with him . It was the dutv of Aimstrongto put offthe steam at thecrossing , and of another person to let on the break on the tender and waggons . There was no alarm given that he ( witness ) heard . Similar evidence haven been given by other witnesses , the Coroner summed up . From the fogginess of the atmosphere , and the facts that the
nuJs were wet with frost and thus rendered slippery , and the decline commencing there , the accident had undoubtedly occurred from purely accidental causes . Verdict accordingly . Deodand on the engine £ 1 . AccroKSi os th » Midland Railway . —A collision , by which considerable damage was done , took place between two goods trains on the Midland Railwav , about two mile * from the Leeds station , on Saturdav evening last What was the precise cause of the collision we have not been able to ascertain . About six o ' clock in tha evening of the day mentioned a goods train was on its way from Selbv to Leeds , and when it had got nearly to Hunslet , a Midland luggage train came up , and , before its speed could be arrested , ran
into it . The collision was one of great violence ; the break of the Selby train was completely smashed , and the two engines attached to the Midland train were shattered to pieces . The broken parts were so jammed togother , and such were the difficulties attending their removal , that it was eleven o ' clock at night before even one fine of rails could be cleared of fragments . The consequence was , that a large number of trains bad to ba detained till that period , causing great public annoyance and inconvenience . The damage sustained by the Midland Company will amount to several hundred pounds . The parties connected with the two trains escaped with little or no injury .
MiLirABT BBOTAtrrr . —On Monday , the 12 th inst . the Depots , comprising the Provisional Battalion , assembled on the General Parade Ground , Chatham Barracks , to hear the sentence promulgated of a district court-martial , held at this garrison on the 5 th inst ., on private Samuel Kina , of the 98 th Regiment of Foot , for striking Sergeant Reilly , of the 98 th , his superior officer , whilst in the execution of his duty . The charge and sentence having been read by the adjutant , the battalion was marched away to zhe Spar Battery , under command of Lieut . Col . Ke'dy , when the troops having been formed into a square , the prisoner was placed at thehalberts , and received his sentence of 150 lashes . ESCAPB OF TWO FeLOSS FROM WREXHAM BHIMtwell . —Between the hoursof six and seven o ' clock on the evening of the 2 nd instant , two prisoners , named William Garner and George Jones , effected their
escape from the Bridewell of Wrexham , Denbighshire . They were both natives of that neighbourhood , and had been apprehended at Warrington on a charge of having stolen two heifers . A handsome reward has been offered for such , information as may lead to the apprehension of the fugitives . Fcbiocs Darrae . —On Monday evening between eight and nine o ' clock , a chaise , containing two gentlemen , proceeded at a rapid rate through Coventry-street , in a direction towards Leicester-Square , and upon reaching the corner of the new street , an Italian boy , who was crossing at the time with some images , was knocked down , the wheels passing over bis legs . The chaise , however , continued at the same furious pace nntil it reached the top of Wardourstreet , when a gentleman of the name of Reddle , reading in Golden-aquare , was also knocked down and severely injured . The vehiclewas ultimately stopped in Oxford-street .
A Good Example . —At Berlin , at twelve on Christmas eve , all the licensed houses of ill-fame were m y Mnunandof the authorities , for ever shut up . The nafortnnate women were released from all debts they might owe to the proprietors of the houses who , it is believed , are to be indemnified for uieir losses .

Meetings In Behalf Of The Chartist Exile...
MEETINGS IN BEHALF OF THE CHARTIST EXILES . Mkkiixs at Bolton . — A meeting was held in the Chartist Association-room , Mawdsley-street , on Thursday evening week , for the purpose of petitioning the house of Commons for the release of Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jones . The room was filled , Mr . W . W . Pickvance occupied the chair , and Mr . W . Dixon from Manchester addressed the meeting upon the subject before them . It was unanimously resolved that the following petition be adopted , and that signatures be solicited to the same , in the borough . —
"To the Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliamtnt assembled . The petition of th « inhabitants in the Borough of Bolton , in public meeting aascnibled , sheweth that your petitioners view with feelings of sorrow and ronimiseratiou the long and painful sentenc » of transportation inflicted upon John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , aud John Jones , for participating in an outbreak at Newport , "Wales , in November , 1839 . Your petitioners believe that the time has at length arrived ' when clemency maybe shown without any forfeiture of national justice or national interest . Tour petitioners hav « seen with
great pleasure that her Majesty ' s Government is favourably disposed to this humane measure , ai evinced by tho mitigation of the sentence of banishment passed upon the Canadian prisoners , taken in arms in thelate insurrection iu that countrj ; they , therefore , pray your honourable House to present an bumble address to her Majesty , praying her to take tbe case of these men into her consideration , and be graciously pleased to remit the remainder of the sentences , and thus restore them to their distressed wives aad families . And in return for this boon jour petitioners will ever pray . "
It was agreed that P . Ainsworth , Esq . M . P ., be requested to present the same and that Dr . Bo wring , M . P ., t » requested to support it . The following resolution was passed , and it was agreed that the petition therein named be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting . "That this meeting are of opinion , that Wm . Sherratt Ellis was innocentof the crime with which be was charged , and that his conviction was based on evidence procured at the expense of honour aud conscience . Under these
circumstances , this meeting resolves to petition the House of Commons , to cause an address to be presented to her Majesty , praying the exercise of the Koyalprerogative for the restoration of the said William Sherratt Ellis to his country and disconsolate family . " It was also agreed that a memorial signed by the chairman of the meeting , be forwarded to her Majesty through the Secretary of State for a commutation of the sentence passed upon John Roberta of Birmingham for the alleged offence of participating in the bull-ring riots at that town in 1839 .
Great Meeting at Leicester . —On Monday evening last , according to announcement in the Star , a public meeting washeld in the Town Hall , to petition for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . The meeting was a bumper , the largest that has been seen in the Town Hall for many years , while every person evinced the utmost enthusiasm in the sacred object for which the meeting had been convened . A large portion of the meeting was composed of the middle classes , all of whom displayed unprecedented feeling of sympathy towards our exiled brethren . Messrs . Mursell and Bloodworth were unable to attend through indisposition , but the former rev . gentleman sent to the meeting a message expressive of his entire and hearty concurrence with the object
of the meeiimr- Mr . Markham { in tho unavoidable temporary absence of the chairman , Mr . Collier Town Councilman ) was called to the chair , and opened the business in a speech full of hearty cordiality and co-operation , and introduced Mr . Smart , who , in a terse , telling , and impressive speech , moved the first resolution : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a petition be presented from this borough to the House of Commons , praying , them to address her Majesty that she would be pleased to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones . " Mr . George Buckby seconded it in a speech replete with power and pathos , when it was put and carried amid vociferous cheering . Mr . Bairstow then rose to propose the adoption of the petition , which was an echo
of the first resolution . He read the affecting letter from Mr . Frost , which appeared in the Star , after which he proceeded , in a somewhat lengthened speech , to review the facts connected with the Newport outbreak , to vindicate the motives and character of the Welsh patriots , and administered a merciless castigation to my Lord " Finality" and the Whig Cabinet , who would have drenched the scaffold with the blood of these good men , had it not been for the indignant remonstrances of the people and the unwearied exertions of Pollock and O'Connor . Mr . Bairstow sat down loudly cheered , and J . Collier , Esq ., Town
Councilman , seconded the adoption of the petition in a speech of great feeling and enthusiasm , in the delivery of which he was warmly applauded . The petition was carried unanimously with tremendous applause . The third resolution , —" That T . S . Buncombe , Esq ., be requested to present , and our two borough members , Sir J . Easthope and W . Ellis , Esq ., be requested to support , the petition when presented to the House of Commons , " was carried with great cheering . Votes of thanks being carried to the mayor for the use of the Town Hall , and to the chairman for his able presidency , the meeting dispersed .
Birmingham . —At our meeting on Monday evening the following resolutions were adopted : — "That a public meeting be held iu tbe People ' s Hall on Monday , Jan 19 th , to memorialise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , of Wales , Roberts , Howell , and Jones , of Birmingham , and Ellis , of the Staffordshire Potteries . "— " That the following gentlemen be invited to attend the meeting : —F . O'Connor , Esq ., Messrs . Baldwin . Barlow , and Page , town councillors , Mr . Henry Hawkes , < fec . " A subscription was entered into for the Exiles ' Widows ' , Orphans ' , and Veteran Patriots' Fund . After other business had been disposed of , the meeting adjourned till next Sunday ; chair to be taken at five o clock .
Restoration of tub Exiles . —Since the publication of the letter of Mr . Frost and the decision come to by the Chart ' nst convention , the question has been taken up with much spirit in Preston . A public meeting in behalf of Frost , Williams , Jones , Ellis , and all other political exiles will take place in the Temperance Hall , on Wednesday evening . A meeting of the deputies from the spinners , shoemakers , iron trades , handloom weavers , powerloom weavers , and others , met the Frost Restoration Committee on Sunday afternoon at Hownth ' s Temperance-hotel , when it was agreed that each trade send a separate petition to be signed by the members of the trade . Others have signified their intended co-operation with us in this good work , and we doubt not but that
petitions will begot up , and numerously signed by at least thirteen trades of the town . A committee of ladies have volunteered their services to superintend the getting up of a petition for this humane object , and such it the enthusiasm with which the proposition is received that there is no doubt the signatures of many thousands of the women of Preston will be obtained . Will the women of Lancashire and Yorkshire remain apathetic after the noble example thus set them ! The deputies and restoration committee agreed , on Sunday afternoon , that letters be sent to Sir George Strickland and Sir Peter Heskett Fleetwood , the members for the borough , requesting to know whether they would present the trades petitions * and give them their support in the House of Com "
mons . Bath . —Oa Tuesday evening last , a few Chartist friends met at the Green Tree Tavern , Boroughwalls , to devise the best means for getting a petition numerously signed by the inhabitants of this city on behalf of the exiled patriots . The meeting was a spirited one ; each endeavoured to outvie the other in his endeavours to serve the cause of justice and humanity , in restoring to the bosom of their families our banished friends . A Committee was appointed ,
with secretary and treasurer , and 30 s . were collected from those present towards defraying the expenses that may be incurred in carrying out the above object . With much pleasure we add , that the old veterans of our locality were at their post . A deputation was appointed to wait on tho Mayor with a requisition to obtain the use of the Town Hall , for holding a public meeting . The committee will meet at the above tavern next Tuesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to receive subscriptions . —C . Bolwell , Secretary .
Meetisg at Dumtbibs . —At the ordinary weekly meeting of the Dumfries and Maxwelltown Working Men ' s Association , on the evening of Monday , the 5 th inst ., the subject of petitioning the House of Commons in favour of the patriotic exiles was broached , and very warmly received . It was unanimously resolved , that a petition from these burghs should be got up , and , further , that a public meeting shonld be called on that night week , to launch tbe petition and open the year ' s campaign , and a committee was appointed to arrange preliminaries . From the " want of a public room of any size , the committee experienced great difficulty in carrying out the views of their constituents ; what is by courtesy termed the Town Hall will barely accommodate 100 , packed like herrings , even could the potent , grave , pot-bellied , and reverend seignors , our collective wisdom be expected to allow its desecration , by permitting a Chartist meeting within the hallowed
precincts . The Trades' Hall , where many a rousing meeting has been held , is at present occupied as a sale-room . The old Assembly-rcoms , although out of the hands of that Free Kirk scamp , the Rev . Dugald M'Kenzie , has been newly painted aud decorated , and refused for trades' balls , so that there was no hope in that quarter . Hence , after much cogitation , the committee were , forced to cut the demonstration portion of their arrangements away , and content themselves with a school-room in Irishstreet , occupied several years ago as an Independent chapel , and capable of accommodating , with a squeeze , about five hundred . There , accordingly , the public meeting took place , at the hour appointed ( eight o clock on the evening of the 12 th ); but , partly from its being held in an unaccustomed place ( a great drawback in a case of this kind ) , and perhaps , in some degree for fear of a crush in those who were acquainted with the place , the
Meetings In Behalf Of The Chartist Exile...
gathering was not a crowded one . What was wanting in numbers , however , was abundantly made up in enthusiasm ; ' and , altogether , taking every adverse circumstance into consideration , we made a very good " beginnm * o't . " On the motion of Mr . James Kirk , seconded by Mr . John M'Call , Mr . George Lewis , nail-maker , was called to the chair , ihe chairman , in a series of sensible and touching observations , unfolded the business of the meeting , concluding with the reading and commenting on Mr . Frost ' s afiecting letter to Mr . Sweet . He then called upon Mr . Archibald M'AusIan , who , in a short address , introduced the first resolution , which pledged tne meeting to petition for the release of the Newport
victims . It was seconded by Mr . Charles Murray , and carried unanimously . Mr . Andrew Wardrop , after a speech of great power , and one that told with much effect on his audience , in fact , ono of the best , both as regards matter and manner that we ever had the pleasure of listening to from him , proposed the second resolution , or tho addition of tho name ol William Shcrrat Ellis to those of Frost , Williams and Jones . This resolution , having been seconded by Mr . James Shaw , was also carried by acclamation , as was a petition to the Commons , founded on these resolutions , proposed by Mr . Wardrop , and seconded by Mr . Hugh M'Gregor . It was also resolved , on the recommendation of the chairman— " That Mr .
Ewart , member tor the Dumfries district of Burghs , should be requested to support the prayer of the petition , which will bo forwarded in due time to the member for all Great Britain for presentation ; and no doubt Mr . Ewart will , and cheerfully > . " Intimation was then given that sheets and signing materials were in the room , and that while others would lie for a week in certain places of public resort , it was probable that some of the larger . workshops would be visited for signatures . After three cheers for the exiles , and another round for the Chatter , the meet * ing separated . It was stated , in the course of the evening by one of the speakers , that a meeting was contemplated , although not in the meantime by tbe Chartist party , to consider the threatened calling out
of the militia , or rather " conscription , " and perhaps the most effective hit of the evening was that made by Mr . Wardrop , when he instanced the liability of the working classes to be forced to fig ht for a system they detest as a proof of their slavery . The calling out of the militia has caused a great sensation in this quarter , particularly among the working classes , and no wonder . The balloting is just the old tyrannous system of pressing with a constitutional face . The government have had recourse to it simply because the people will not enlist . All kinds of ovasory schemes are talked of—some talk of going to gaol , others , fonder of fresh air , of going on tramp , and all would very much like an article on the subject in the Star . —Dumfries , Jan . 13 tb , 1816 .

London. Metropolitan Disimct Council.—Th...
LONDON . Metropolitan Disimct Council . —This body met at the Chartist Hall , Turnagain-lane , on Sunday , January the 11 th . Mr . Hall , of the Tower Hamlets , was called to the chair . Mr . John Simpson moved " That this Council deem it advisable at this period that the Chartist body , in all its meetings throughout the kingdom , should take into consideration the subject of the Embodiment of the Militia , and that the people at such meetings should be ' vequested to answer the following question— ' Ought any man , not having a voice in making the laws of the nation , to bit called on to take up arms in defence of the nation ?'
Mr . Thomas Mills seconded the resolution , which was ably supported by Messrs . Rogers , Milne , Stallwood , and [ T . M . Wheeler , and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Mr . Edmund Stallwood for the services he has rendered to the Council . Mr . Stallwood stated that , in accordance with a resolution passed by the Council , a petition was now being got up jointly by the men of Hammersmith and Fulham , on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also , one on behalf of W . Ellis ; and that each bid fair to be very numerously signed . A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman , the Council adjourned until Sunday afternoon , the 25 th instant .
Westminster . —A crowded public meeting was held at the Parthemum , 12 , St . Martin ' s-lane , on Sunday evening , January 11 . Mr . Buckley was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings . Mr . Milne reported that the Metropolitan District Council had tbat day passed a resolution calling on all localities to take up the subject of the militia , and also to answer the question , if any man who had no vote should cany a musket ? He could only say his motto was— " No vote , no mgshbi ! " ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Thomas Clark , of the Executive Committee , was then introduced , and delivered an address on " the present state and future prospects of the people ' s cause . " Mr . Clark then very ably showed the present state of the
Chartist cause , and reviewed most lucidly the past and present doings of both factions—landlords and cotton lords—and demonstrated that they were both equally opposed to the progress of Chartism—equally opposed to the extension of the franchise to the mass of the people . Mr . Clark then powerfully elucidated the policy recommended bythe recent Cbarlist Convention held in Manchester . That policy was , that Chartists should stand aloof from all parties at present , watch passing events , and take advantage of incidents as they arose . A time would come , and that shortly , when all their activity and united wisdom would be required , which well directed activity must ultimately lead to the establishment of the " rights of man , " as defined in the People ' s Charter .
( Loud heers . ) Mr . Clark then showed the great progress made and making by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , not only in the manufacturing but also in the agricultural districts . The directors had recently established two flourishing districts , one at Sudbury , and the other at Pershore . ( Hear , hear . ) The board had also an intention of agitating tiie labourers of Berkshire , Buckinghamshire , and Wiltshire , on the same subject . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark concluded a somewhat lengthy and eloquent discourse , and resumed his seat amidst great applause . A discussion then ensued , in which Messrs . Stallwood , Ford , Milnes , Wheeler , aud the lecturer took part , after which a vote of thankswas passed by acclamation to tbe lecturer , and the meeting dissolved .
IPSWICH . On Sunday evening last an adjourned meeting of friends favourable to the Chartist Co-operative Land Society was held in the Castle Inn , in this town , when a branch of the above association was formed , and nine shares taken . Our time of meeting is Tuesday , at half-past seven .
BRADFORD . At a meeting of Chartists , held on Sunday evening last at Butterworth-buildings , Mr . John Rogers in the chair , Mr . Thomas Cole proposed the following resolution : — " That we , the Chartists of Bradford , cannot sufficiently express our indignation at the baseness of Daniel O'Connell , in adding to his other inglorious titles that of " Common Lvtormbb " to the Tory Government , and especially towards our worthy and esteemed friend , Patrick O'Hi ggins , Esq ., to whom we tender our sympath y and thanks for his services to the people ' s cause , whilst we
accord our censure to the misnamed " Liberator (!)" for this crowning act to his former baseness and hypocrisy . " Mr . Walker Steadseconded the motion , and it was carried unanimously . The council have received six collecting-books from Mr . Thos . Cooper for the Veteran Patriots ' and Exiles' Widows' and Orphans' Fund , which will , no doubt , be attended to by them . No good Chartist can object giving his mite to such a praiseworthy undertaking . Surely such men as Richards , Preston , and Davenport should not bo allowed to end their days in an accursed bastile , nor the wives and children of " our absent friends" be allowed to starve .
MANCHESTER . On Sunday last Mr . O'Connor s letter , commenting on the arrest of Mr . O'Hi ggins , through the baseness of O'Connell , was read to the meeting , aud caused great snisation ; after which the concluding part of the letter from the Awjslmrg Gazette was read , the audience responding to it by crying " that ' s true . " Then the chairman introduced the lecturer , Mr . E . Clark , cropper . The lecturer commenced by saying he would relate an anecdote : —An old man , once hearing a lecture in this hall , one Sunday evening , upon the value of co-operation , thought proper to solicit another old man in his neighbourhood to join him in forming a fund to commence a co-operative store . He did so , and each paid first week gd , —
that would be Is . 6 d . —they continued to subscribe Id . a week afterwards . After a time , they got others to join them , and the result has been that in Droylsden , Ashton , Oldham , and another place adjacent , this co-operative society has opened no less than five co-operative stores , and has a " capital of a thousand pounds . That , said the lecturer , is the value of co-operation . The lecturer next took a glance at the various co-operations existing , showing all Fire Insurance Companies , Railway Companies , Gas Works' Companies , were so many co-operative societies . The lecture was an able one , and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and chairman , aud the meeting separated . Several shares in the Land Society were taken up .
OLDHAM . On Sunday last Mr . James Leach gave a most spirit-stirring lecture on the subject of "The Land , " in the school-room of the Working Man ' s Hall . The room was crowded to overflowing , and the audience listened with great attention . After the lecture a number of persons took out shares in the Land Society . MERTHYR TYDVIL . The members of No . I locality of the Land Society resident in Merthyr Tydvil have resolved to devote two hours every Sunday evening to the science of agriculture , by reading Mr . O'Connor ' s "Small Farms" and other practical works upon that highly important subject , for the instruction of the shareholders ,

Framewouk Knitters' Movemekt. An Act Of ...
FRAMEWOUK KNITTERS' MOVEMEKT . An Act of Parliament which passed the Leg islature on the 4 th of August last year , came into operation on tho 1 st instant ; but that being Thursday , and not a general delivery day . at the warehouses , the hands generally worked the week out , as usual , in order that no complaint might be made of the workmen ' s haste , knowing , as they did , that the agents had not been provided by the manufacturers with tickets . Of course , the men expected that on Monday all would be prepared ; but in this tho workmen have been deceived , for , in most instances , both employers and agents who gave tickets did not comply with the forms laid down by law , but gave tickets to serve their own purposes , demanding in many
instances more work with no ' advance of wages . This being refused by the hands , a meeting was convened , and a deputation appointed to wait on the mayor to rutruest the use of the Town Hall to hold a meeting in . After conversing with the deputation , the Mayor deferred granting the use of the Hall until he had seen some of the other magistrates . The Mayor said it was his opinion that the Ticket bill could not be carried out—it gave so much trouble ' to the manufacturers . The workmen then determined to call a meeting by the ballman , which took place at the King George on Horseback inn , and from thence adjourned to the Marketplace . More than three thousand workmen v > ere present , who adopted the following resolutions : —
" That we , the workmen employed in tho frameworkknitting branches , in public meeting assembled , do resolve that , whereas a law has been passed to compel manufacturers to deliver a ticket with the material to be wrought into hosiery goods , pledge curatives to uso every legal means to enforce the same , by bringing all manufacturers who refuse to obey the law , before a justice of the pence . And we will never rest satisfied until tho law is fully carried out . " " That whereas ' statements' have been delivered by the workmen employed in the several branches ol tho framework-knitting trade to the employers , wo resolve to work to , and be guided by those statements . " " That , in order to encourage our fellow workmen to enforce the law against non-complying manufacturers , we pledge ourselves to support to the utmost of our power those who may be victimised by such agent or employer for doing his duty , by contributions raised as a victim fund . "
" That , in order fully to establish a power whereby tho foregoing resolution may be carried into effect , we pledge ourselves to unite , and induce others to do ao , without loss of time , " " That the committee bs empowered to take such steps as shall be deemed by them best calculated to improve the condition of the workmen , by waiting upon persons whose influence may be deemed of importance in our pre . sent struggle . " " That these resolutions be sent * to the press . for inscr . tion "
Pramework-knitters , you are thrown out of employ , meat by your employers for endeavouring to enforce the law of the land . These gentlemen , having a full knowledge of your sufferings—sufferings such as ho other body of men are enduring , and this , too , has been caused by the repeated reductions and exactions of your employers and their agents—by asking for work which they do not pay for ( such as is called " bump ") , and this to the enormous weight of from two to seven ounces in a dozen of hose , "" ou are , therefore , called upon to unite iu selfdefence . Let no obstacle prevent you from so doingon your own strength you must depend 1 Nottingham , Jan . 7 th , [ We request our correspondent to write his reports on one side of the paper only . ]

labour .

Loudon Corn Exchan G E, Mohday, Jak. 12....
Loudon Corn Exchan e , Mohday , Jak . 12 . —The past week ' s arrivals of English wheat for our market were somewhat on the increase , but , comparatively speaking , of middling quality . Of barley the receipts were very large ; those of all other kinds of grain of home produce small . From Scotland and Ireland very little grain of any description came to hand , but the imports of foreign corn and flour were seasonably extensive . Fresh up to-day from Essex , a fair average quantity of wheat came to hand coastwise , as well as by land carriage . Owing to the caution evinced on the part of the dealers , most ot whom were short of stock , the demand for all kinds of English wheat was in a very sluggish state ; hence , to effect sales , the factors were compelled to give way in their demands . We have , therefore , to report a decline in the value of selected qualities ot Is ., and in that of other kinds of 2 s . per quarter , at winch amount of depression very little progress was made in clearing the stands . The show of free foreign
wheat was small , nevertheless the inquiry lor that article was inactive , and prices had a downward tendency , though not to the extent to warrant us in altering our quotations . Corn under lock ruled almost nominal in value . The supply of barley being considerably more than equal to the wants ot the trade , the sale for that article was excessively heavy , at an abatement in the currencies of Is . to 2 s . per quarter , and a largo portion remained unsold at tbe close of the market . Although the receipts of malt were good , the malt trade may be considered tolerably steady , at previous quotations . Notwithstanding the arrivals of oats from . Ireland , as well as our own coasts , were small , and the holders were generally firm from that circumstance , the oat trade must be considered inactive , at barely stationary prices . Beans and peas were in moderate supply , and heavy inquiry , at last week ' s currencies . Flour moved off heavily , but no decline was submitted to by the millers .

IiOMBON * Smitiivield Cattlb Market , Monday , Jan . 12 . —Very largo imports of live stook have taken place from abroad since Monday last , viz ., 250 oxen , 1 C 0 cows , 600 sheep , and 4 pigs , from Miami , Rotterdam , and Schiedam . Although some of the arrivals have come to hand in good condition , a large number were beneath the middle quality . At the outports , 00 beasts nnd 50 sheep have been imported from Holland . To-day we had on oiler 370 beasts and 400 sheep , which moved off slowly at somewhat reduced rates .

The attendance of buyers being by no means lame , the beef trade ruled heavy , at a decline in the quotations of 2 d . per 8 lbs ., the highest price for the best Scots not exceeding 4 s . 2 d . per 8 lbs ., and a total clearance was not effected . From
the northern counties we received 1 , 800 shorthorns ; from the western and midland districts , 600 llerel fords , runts , shorthorns , & c ., and from other parts of England 400 of various breeds—the remaindar of the supply being chiefly derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis . The numbers of sheep were small , while tlie mutton trade was steady at fully last week ' s prices . Although the supply of calves was by no means large , the sale for that description of stock was in a sluggish state , on somewhat easier terms . Upwards of 200 pigs have arrived by steam from Ireland . To-day the pork trade was firm , at late rates .
