Subsequent eveats hare shown that the middle and the
wealthy classes of F rancs are still unawwe of means by whiah there rcost desirable results caa be obtained . Tha laboui aiest ' ion inFrance remains unsolved , and itis questionable whether its satisfactory settlement may not " ba put bsck rather than hastened by the events which are nos- occurring aad impending over the Continent .

It would appear as though , " in tke order of Providence , there is no ' short cat' to the O ^ tct which all parties admit to be most desirable . PdticncJ and the diffusion of sound knowledge among all clasf eg , in the true spirit of fraternity , constitute the only ports ! by which vre can hope to approach that better state of society in which the principles of Christisnitj- wiil be a reality , when men wiU daily act upon thim instead of merely talking about them , as they do
now . FuTtxE Poller . — The detailed reasons for these jasasures are fully set tcrth in the two last monthly reparts , and it is , tberefere , unnecessary In this statement to do more than recapitulate the principal points to ' which the Central Committee request the attention of the Conference . EKPioiKSsr Fcsd . — Ths Central Committee have prepared a plan for carrying out the original objects of the Association in this rtspect , to which they request the deep and earnest attention of the Conference . We propose that an Employment Fuad of £ 50 , 000 should be formed , the subscriptiocs to bs invested in a bank daring th-2 time of collection in the names of Thomas " rTaklev , Eia ., M P ., Sharman Carsford , Ejq .. M . P . ,
" and Joha Fielding . Esq ., the late member for Oldham , as trustees . These funds to ba held sacred for reproductive purposes , and not to be withdrawn except by tha authority of the Annual Conference , or a special Conference summoned for that purpose . It is farther pro . psscd that the £ 53 , 000 shall be railed ia two years , which , estimating the number of persons directly and indirectly connected with the Association , at 60 , 090 , may easily be docs by a levy of twopence in the Bound upon wagis . Such kvy to be collected iu the same way as t * se poundage for tho Protection Fund aow is , and in order to give each trade and individual subscriber a direct interest in the fund to the extent of his coatriba-Jtons , it is proposed thst whenever the sum paid amounts
tc 5 } ., to insure a scrip certificate for the same , which will entitle the Wdtr to the interest fired by Conference ; an j , after the craimmcesient of indastrial operations , to a dtSslte shire in the profits . These scrip certificates would be transferable property , and the fund would pre-ent Soring the time of its collection a species Of Savings Bank for the industrious classes . When the osphal was inveslej in freehold land , dwellings , work . lhop » , and machinery , they would then become co-partners in establishments , the objects of which woald be to remove the surplus from the labjnr market , which is the ptimsiy Eoorae of all reductions in wages , aud to give them a direct personal participation in the new wealth produced by their own acsuaiulated and rtproductively employed capital .
Laboce League . —The Central Committee under this Head will submit to tho Confines a plan bv which tha Association will hi enabltd to advocate and promote fee passings of each legislative measures as are necessary to iaprove the condition of the labouring classes , scad which require legislative and govern . rn . enUl sane , tion for their enactment and application . The Central Committee bifore cencluding this report " nave the painful duty to dischargj of noticing the longeeatinued and severe indisposition of our highly respected President , T . S . Daacotnbs , Esq . Up to the last jftoment that his health permitted he was a constant attendant at the meetings of the committee , and gave his
• ssnsl close attention to all the minut- ' s of the baslness ' "Wemucb faar that it was these unwearied and disinter , ested exertions in t ' ae discharge of his public duties which hastened oa the severe illness under which he has gaf & redfor S 3 Eruny months , and which have tended to aggravate that illness and retard his recovery . It is irith a f . eling ot the deepest gratitaie we have to record tha fact , that as long as Mr D-mrombe was able to write to the committee upon business fee did so frequently , and fast as icon as hs recovered sufficiently to enable him to resume correspondence with them he did so , favouring feem with his invaluable advice , aad the results of his long experience as a publio man .
The Central Committee have now , as briefly as was consistent with perspicuity , presented to the Conference an outline of the leading transactions of the past year , end an outline ef the policy suggested for the future . A airievi & w of ths tiicumstanosB thus briefly narrated mast inspire tope in tbe breasts of all wJw are desirous feat labour should enjoy its jast reward . This is only & e third annual Coafereace of the Association , The last was the first ia which wa may say its machinery had been brought fairly into working trim ; yet , notwith . lianding this , the Association had already acqiired strength eaocgh to enible it to resist nobly the pressure of the unetaapled industrial crisis not equalled in commercial history , and to bear bold ' y up the standard of labour ' s redemption by means of their own energies—• siseiy , peacefully , and practically directea .
The short catalogue contained in this report of the ieries of victories for industry which the exercise of a calm and reasonable spirit his secured , the extent to vhich the comparatively limited funds place ! at the disposal of tr-. s C ; atral Coamittc , have been made in various tao : e 3 tominis ' er to the great object of protecting tha oppressed , an 2 eeenria ^ j > jstic 3 for the wronged ; far ensiling master and m ; a to undtrsiand esch other bsttsr , and to entertain those sentiments of mutual respect which ii the bes ; guarantee of future concerd , constitute in the opinion of tbe Cvntnl Cjmmittee a claim upon the support of the trades of this country such as no previous associa ' . ion ever c-a ! d put forward . If a uai . versal ani unanimous sdhesloa of tha organise ! trades
, with their practical experience and thtir immense but redeveloped but misdirected resources could be brought about , aad all thesa energies and resources concentrated upon the carrying oat of the plans of this Association , there would in a very short time bo cS . cted that beneficial change in the condition of tbe tolling millions , which is demanded alike by tha dictate ! of natural jcsi ' ca and the precepts of reveakd religion ; tha labonrer vocld be not only worthy of his hire , but wonl i receive i : ; and the other classes of society , instead of living a feverish and uneasy lifp , hat ill coicpsnsated by the loruries which eurround them , woald tied in a just aad eqaitable state of society a security aad happiness ¦ which is totally unattainable by any clcss at proseut .
The Central Comnlttee in resi gning the affairs of the Association IntD the hands of the Conference , do so with the C 3 aseiou = ness of having at least endeavoured to do tbeir duty fiithfaU y , impartiall y , and corrrectly . As time and opportunity has increased their experiences and thoir capacity to serve the Association , they have f sit a pride and a pleasure in d-: voting themselves heart end eon * to thj pro-cotioa of i : s iateresTfl ; ana whatever defects may bs obsarvabl-j in their management of its effiir ? , kck _ efz 5 « l or waat of attention are not annn ^ the number . Thtir earnest desire is , that this Asso . elation may year bj y = ar gro * ia the estimation of the trades and receive increasiog support from them , ua : i ! its comprehensive , practical , and just plans are realised , and every man sit doivn under his own vine and fig tree , noae daring or detiring to make him afriid .

1 ba report was received ; tbe standing erders were agreed to ; and the hoars for meeting having been fixed to bafi-ora 10 am . to 1 o ' clock p . m ., and from 2 to 5 o ' clock iu tha afternoon , gams routine business teas transacted at the Coaference , which adjourned at five o ' clock .
TUESDAY , Jnjfi ! 13 . The Conference met thia morning , at ten o ' clock , in the Brunswick Room ? , Hunter-strtet , Mr F . Green in the chair . The minutes of the provioua tfey ' s sittina having been cscfirnied , the report of the Cenfril Committee wag , after s short conversatioi * , "unanimously adopted . Tha aest business taken up , waa the proposed alterStira iu the laws of tiia Association . The first alteration , vriiieh merely incorporated in one several deckrawry rules , was agreed to without discussion . On the sec > hd proposition , which was intended to give ths individual nzmbecd ot tie Central Committee the power of introducing subjects for the consideration of the CoLierence , not included in the progrirntne of business , required by the laws to be Esu ^ oastnoiitli bufore the n } eetin * j uf Conference .

the waste of its time . If the views of any individual member of tbat committee were worthy of coming before the Conference at all , they ought first to have the sanction ef a majority of the committee . They would , otherwise be feared , be sowing dissension , even in the committee itself . He therefore moved that the words' or any of its members' be emitted . Mr Parr ( Birmingham ) concurred in this view . Mr Psbl ( of the Central Committee ) supported the alteration . A short discussion ensued , in which Messrs Isherwood ( Clithero ) Burn ( Lgndon ) Lindsay ( Aberdeen ) ,
, , Holmes ( Birmingham ) , and others took part . On a division the numbers were equal , and the chairman gave the casting vote in favour of the law as it now stands , which limita the introduction ofsuJ'jects not inserted in the programme to such as may be sanctioned by the Central Committee . A discussien followed on the proposal to reduce tbe quorum of the committee from five to three . Mr Ishsrwood said , there was a proposition to reduce the number of the committee from nine to seven . Before thoy fixed the quorum , they ought to fis the number of the committee itself .
Mr Goulmn wished to take the opportunity of asking whether the law aa to the organisation of districts had been generally carried into effect ? The Chaibiian said , that they had several very active distticts . At Keighley , Mill-briefge , Heckmondwike . Northwich , Bristol , Ruabon ( Wale ? , ) and several other places , there wtro very efficient districts , but he must admit , tbat in too many districts the organisation was not complete . Messrs Pare and Holmes stated , that but little bad been done in Birmingham in this respect , but that it was the intention of tbe trades in connexion with the Association , to take active measures , and they hoped , at tha next Conference , to be able to report with success . Mr Likdsat stated , that he understood they had active districts at Edinburgh and Glasgow . In the more northern district , with which he waa connected , they were , he might say , in a lively condition .
Mr Garbdti ( Barnsley ) said that the question of districts was a digression . The point was , whether they should reduce the quorum of the Central Committee , or attain the fame object by adding to its numbers , and thus enable the committee to transact the business promptly , without at tbe same time confining the decision to so small a number . He was opposed to any reduction ofthe quoruH . He would rather add to the number of the cemmittee , and would move that the Central Committee coneist of ten , instead of seven , three of tbe ten to reside constantly in Scotland .
Mr Lekegan said , in tbe present position of the Association , such au addition to the expense of the managing body would be mosi injudicious . The state of trade and other causes operated to keep the working classes back , and tbe small sum of 2 d . in the pound on wages , levied from the members , would be utterly inadequate to maintain so expensive a machinery , and at the fame time give the support whioh was expected in cases of dispute and difficulty . Mr Pabkkb differed from the last speaker . He thought that the want of an efficient staff of officers had lost ths Association a great deal of money , as well as kept many trades from jeining them . Iu the ccmrse of the year he had been in Whitehaven for a short time on other business : His assistance was requested by one of the trades , and his intervention was attended with such success , that if it had
been followed up by a vigorous agitation , it would have resulted in the adhesion of the trades generally ail round the coast . It was the same in several other districts . He warned the Conference against believing that there was any apathy on the part of the working classes towarcbj the Association , or its objects . ( Hear , hear . ) Several of the trades formerly connected with them had drawn back , because the small staff of efficers did not permit their business to be attended to bo promptly aa & ey wished , and they had bt-en somewhat disappointed in consequence . BeEndesthis , they had just passed through a period of unexampled industrial distress : But he was certain that if the proper means trere taken to bring the great question of the organisation of labour prominently before them , and the plans now proposed for improving tbe condition of the labouring classes , a great movement would take place .
Mr Burn opposed any / increase in the present state ofthe Association . Mr Goclmn considered that the increase and tbe improvement of the organisation of district committees , would secure the objects proposed by the addition to the Central Committee . Mr Robson ( of the Central Committee ) said , before the Conference thought of adding to the number of the Committee they should look at the present governmental cost . He considered that even at present it was out of proportion to the subscriptions . Mr Russell ( Vale of Leven ) came there instructed to vote for an increase , but his views were ohanged by what he had heard . He thought that three able and honest men were quite sufficient to conduct the business in the absence of their celleagues . Mr Lindsay concurred with the views of M * r Parker , and believed that a more vigorous agitation would provide the means to support the increased cost of a larger staff .
After somefurther discussion , the proposition for increasing the number of the Central Committee to ten , was put and negatived by a large majority . Mr Parker then suggested that they might effect a compromise as to the quorum , by making it four instead of three , as proposed by the committee . There would then always be a majority of the committee present at the decision of all business . MrRoBsos aad no objection , on the part ofthe Committee , to accede to this suggestion ; and , after a short conversation oa the manner in whioh the Scottish trades and their business could be attended to , the final settlement of which point waa postpontsd , it was unanimously agreed that tbe quorum should be four . The salary of the Central Committee constituted the next topic . It led to a somewhat leegthened discussion .
Mr Parker moved that the salary be £ 1 163 . a week , with 3 s . a day , when absent from home , and second-class fare . Mr Johksios seconded the resolution , which was carried , and the Conference then adjourned till two o ' clock . The first subject taken up at the afternoon sitting was the mode of appointing the general secretary , and the conditions upon which he should hold office . It was proposed that the Central Committee should hava the power to discharge him if he neglected his duties , and elect another , to hold office until the next annual or special Conference . Mr Gooxdix was instraefced by the Manchester district Committee to suggest as an addition that , before discharging the secretary , the Committee should consult with the delegates of the Conference by whom the secretary was appointed .
The Chaibman said the suggestion was a very good one . _ It would plapa any Central Committee in a position ef a very invidious character to discharge such an officer . By the addition the Central Committee would be relieved from the responsibility , which would , in fact , be thrown upon the Con * ference , the parties by whom the secretary waa originally elected . He should ba very glad to see the suggestion adopted . Mr Rcbsos said that it was understood that the Central Committee should have the appointment of the feuceessor to the Secretary after obtainies tho sanction of the delegates for discharging that afieer ; he saw no objection to the proposed addition .
Mr Barrati objected to such a rule . It placed the general Secretary in a most invidious position . Why should the general Secretary alone , of all the officers , be placed ia this position ? It the provision was made let it apply to all officers . For himself , he felt that he was the servant of the Association , not ef the Committee . He had no objection to the condition that the duties of Secretary should be performed to the satiifaction of the Committee ; bat he contended that all other persona in office should bs subject te the same rule ,
Mr Parker moved an amendment to the effect that the discharge of the Secretiry , by the Central Committee , should be subject to the approval of the majority of the members ofthe late Conference , and tine the Bame principle beapplied to allothor elected officers of the Association . Mr Burn seconded the resolution . Mr Humphries asked if in the term ' ether officers' Mr Parker included the member -, of tha Central Committee ? Mr Parker . —Yes .
Mr Robsos said , that both amendment and motion were based upon a false principle . The vesting of tho appointment of the secretary in the Conference was in itself an error . The Executive Cotasiittee were , in faot , the real responsible parties for the proper management of the affiira of the Association , mid while tliey were ( Sua responsible they ou-rhtj t » have power to appoint and discharge all the officers necessary to conduct the practical transactions ef the Association . Several other delegates having spoken , tha proposition , as amended by Mr Parker , was unanimously adopted .
Mr Humphries ( of the Central Committee ) thought that after passing such a resolution , it would be osiy justice to give to those individuals who nyght be discharged under the new rulo a right of appeal to the next Conference . Au individual might bocMae tho object of slander or niisippreuension , aad the expense of refuting these misstatements by areans of the pre : s , or visiting tho trades , mi ^ ht be beyond his power . He ought , therefore , to have a rigkt of appeal . The CiuiGUAjf said , he could not perceive that as individual thus placed had nny risht to such an anpeal , because under the new law he would ba discharged by the same parties by whom he was cleatod . If ho went hctoro the nest Caoferecce it would bd before another body who could not possibly understand the matter so well as tho boay by which hu was appointed and discharged .
-Mr Packer said , that the exoansa alluded to by Mr Hum-ihries . cnuld only amount to some fifty circulars or so , to the members of the Conference . As to the course which had been mentioned , of - jcrsoaH

going round to the trades to appeal against the decisions of the Exeoutive . it was a course which that Conference ought to set its face against . ( Hear . ) It was a source of great loss and ill-feeling in the Association . ( Hear . ) Eventually the right of appeal in such cases was carried , and added to the resolution previously adopted-It was then agreed , after a short conversation , That for a trade , or any portion thereof , to be en titled to tbe pecuniary support of tho Association , it shall be Imperative that the subj-ot matter In dUpute be immediately submitted to tho Central Committee in order that the law of the Association , relative to
mediation , may be brought Into operation ; and that no trade , or any portion thereof , can , under any circumstance * , be entitled to their aliment , if they shall leave work without the previous sanction of the Central Committee ; provldui that & trade or individual forced out by tht-it employer , shall , by the approval of the Central Committee , be entitled to ailment according to rule , from the day they were discharged from their employment ; and farther , tbat in all casea where the document Is presented to the members ef this Association , the Central Committee shall resist such encroachment to the best of their ability . The nest resolutions agreed to were : —
That the Central Committee be empowered to close n str . k j at such times as they may deem expedient , accord , lug to the circumstances of the case , after having consulted the District Committee . That each trade and individual , who may subeo q'lently join euch trade , shall belong to tho Associati on six months before eligible to receive support . It was then proposed : — That the Central Committee shall Issue a weekly report of all ' their proceedings , and that each trade or society receive a copy ofthe same ; and that each trade receive balance sheets , reports , and other papers , Usuedbytbt Central Committee ; the same shall be charged to their
account . Mr Russell asked if the weekly report was intended to supersede the present monthly report ? The Ch * airha » replied , that instead of a monthly report in future they would have a weekly report , which , in addition to the other contents of tbe present report , would contain a lut of the subscriptions weekly received . Mr Parker said , the proposition of the Central Commiteee bad his cordial support , inasmuch as it " would realise an idea , which he had long entertained , namely , that this Association should have an organ of its own .
Mr Pebl considered that this was one of the most important questions that could possibly come before the Conference . Upon the issuing of such a periodical would , in his opinion , mainly depend the future prosperity and usefulness of the Association . He was happy to see the favourable rec eption given by tho Conference to the proposition , and in conclusion would state , that the Central Committee had entered into printing arrangements , which , wiih a slight extension , might be made applicable to the new arrangements in a very effective and economical manner . ( Hear . ) Mr Garbdix highly approved of tho proposal . S o much waa the value and importance of having such organs of intelligence tow felt by the working classes , that even benefit and sick societies had their niontbly reports . So great and extensive an Association as that needed a weekly organ of its own for buaineus purposesif for nothing else .
, . Mr Lisdsat said , that so highly waa the importance of the diffusion of knowledge on these subjects appreciated by the trades in hia district , that he was instructed to move for the issue of tracts upon the subject . But tha plan proposed by the Central Committee was so far superior to that of tracts , that he should withdraw it , aad vote for the weekly report instead . ¦ Mr Bum * ( London ) also eupportedthe proposal . Massra Taylor and WniGLBr ( Ripponden ) , having apoken in support of the resolution , it was unanr mously adopted ; and after disposing of several other proposed changes , the Conference rose for tho day at five o'clock .
WEDNESDAY , June 14 . The Conference assembled this morning at 10 o'clock , Mr F . Green in the Chair . After confirming the minutes of the previous day's proceedings and transacting other routine business , The Chairman called the attention of the Conference to that part of the President ' s address which had reference to the election of the Central Commjttee . He said his object in doing so waa , because iil that passage their hon . President isade his acceptance of offioe conditional on hia approval of the parties elected . It was desirable that the election should be made at such a time as would enable them to take the opinion of the President on the subject , and have his final decision before the Conference separated .
Mr Russell conceived that the address of Mr Duncombe on this subject waa replete with sound wisdom . When the trades had once secured men of honesty and ability to administer their affairs , and these men had acquired experience in doing so , it was most unwise to make any changes . If any individual , from his superior ability , and his activity , was recommended by a trade to be added to the Committee , it woald no doubt be a proper subject for discussion . But in the trades . ^ aa in private establishments , it was the soundest wisdom to retain those servants who had discharged their duties with fidelity and in an efficient manner . His own constituents had instructed him to vote for retaining the present executive , or at least as many of them as the laws would allow .
Mr Isherwood said he found on the business sheet , a proposition that all disputes or complaints against the Central Committee , be heard prior to the election of officers for the ensuing year ; he begged to move that that be done immediately before proceeding to the election . The Chairman said that individually he had no objection , nor had any of the Executive , to that course ; on the contrary , they were anxious that it should ha so ; but the question was , whether they could in that case , elect the Committee in time to take Mr Duncombe ' a opinion upon the subject . It was resolved , after some further conversation , to take the appeal cases up before proceeding with tbe election , and that they be referred to a Select Committee , to investigate and report ;
Messrs Parker , Holmes , Lenigan , Hatfield , Lind soy , Garbutt , and Burn , were then appointed as a select committee , and the Conference adjourned until two o ' clock , to give the committee time to examine and report on the various oases . On reasserrbling in the afternoon , Mr Parker , as chairman ofthe Select Committee , reported progress , especially with reference to two case s of alleged neglect of duty on the part of the members of the Central Committee , and which
neglect had been injurious to the trades committee whose affairs they were deputed to settle . The report exonerated tho Central Committee from all blame in these two cases , but censured tho conduct of one of the inculpated members , and acqaitted the other . The other cases of appeal were such as did not involve any charge either against tho Central Committee or any of its individual members ; these would be proceeded with as rapidly as possible , but in the meantime , perhaps , this report might enable the Conference to go on with the general
business-« Mr Isheuwojd ohj acted to that part ot the report which exonerated one of the members from tho charge of neglect of duty . He considered that he had clearly proved neglect before tbe Committee . The report led to lengthened explanations by the two members affected by it , and a debate , ia which several delegates to ^ k ^ part , and whioh terminated by the adoption orcae report with only one dissentient . The Committee were then instructed to withdraw , and proceed with the investigation ofthe other cases ; and the Conference adjourned at a quarter past three o ' clock , having first resolved that the standing orders should be suspended , and that it should ait tomorrow , from nine o ' clock in the morning till halfpast six o ' clock in the evening .

Miraculous Escape . —A very remarkable escape from drowning occurred in tho river Thames , in the neighbourhood of Greenwich , on Saturday evening last . __ A middle-aged man , who had been spending the day at Gravesend , was observed to be in a Very excited state all the way to Greenwich , in one ofthe bortta plying between Gravesend and London-bridgo . When the vessel was off Greenwich tho individual wa 3 standing at the forepart of tha vessel , engaged in couyepation wish several percent " , when suddenly he exclaimed with considerable energy , 'Now th » n my boya , for a jolly dive . ' and , so siying , ha leaped ' in an instant into the river . Nearly a minute elapsed betorehecame to the surface , and aa he must have passed directly under the piddte . whoal it wai ann .

The boat was stopped with all practicable dispatch , all on board looking with an eager eye into the water , to : see whether the body would again come to the surface ; after the lapse ot rather more than a minute tho man ' s head was seen to rise above the water , some yards beyond the stern ofthe vessel . The bsat was immediately put iu requisition , and in about a quarter of a minute more the i mra -was got out oi tbe water . He was taken on ibo , - . rd and carried down below finite insansihifl . In

MURDER OF A TURNKEY IN COLDBATH FIELDS PRISON . On Saturday morning , about nine o ' clock , a murder was perpetrated at the above prison , in reference to which the following particulars have been obtained , after much difficulty , in consequence of the governor having refused , for ths present , to band over the murderer for the purpose ot undergoing an examination before a police magistrate , although aa application waa made for hie body by Inspector Penny , G . division , on the openine of the Clerkenwell Court , at the usual time . The name of the murdered man ia William Woodhouae , who has been a warder lor many years in the House of Correction i and tbe perpetrator of the murder ia a prisoner named G . T . Hewaon , who it will ba remembered was about nine months since examined at Worshipstreet Police Court and subsequently convicted ,
together with his daughter , for the concealment of the birth of a child . Since his incarceration he has betrayed a sullen and refractory spirit , and having misconducted himself , he was placed in solitary confinement , in accordance with tho rules of tbe eatabliehment . At the above hour the deceased visited him to furnish him with some refreshment , and was closing the door of the cell after him , when the prisoner rushed upon him and stabbed him with . a knife in the left side , up to the hilt . The poor fellow was heard to make an exclamation which drew to tho scene another warder , who found the sufferer on the ground weltering in his blood , and in the agonies of death , whioh ensued almost immediately . Mr Chesterton , the governor , and other authorities of the prison , assembled , and the prisoner was placed in irons . The deceased , who was a married man , was considered an excellent officer . Hia father is also a warder in the same gaol .
IHE IKQUE 5 T . On Monday forenoon , a jury of sixteen inhabitants of St James ' s , Clerkenwell , were empanelled before Mr T . Wakley , M . P ., in tho board room of the House of Correction , Coldbath-fieldfl , to investigate the death of Wm , Woodhouae , aged 34 , the warder of the above prison , who was murdered by a pns ner named George John Ilewson , on Saturday morning last-Mr Wakbpield , tho surgeon of the prison , deposed that the knife had passed through the akin and pectoral muscles without touching the bone . There was an opening in the pericardium sufficiently large to admit the point of a finger , aud whioh passed through the anterior of tho wall of the right ventricle of the heart in tbe middle . It was in fact a wound of the heart passing completely into its cavity . —By the coroner : I have no hesitation in saying that the
wound in tho heart caused death . Am ? rep Wapdi & ove deposed , that he waa prisoner No . 8 in No . 5 ward of tho prieon , saw Mr Woodhouse , the warder , go to No . 5 cell , and open the cell door about nine o ' clock on Saturday morning . Saw , as soon as tbe door was opened , the man in the cell , with his pannikin in his left hand , and an instrument of some sort in his right . The moment the man appeared at the door he made a plunge at Mr Woodhouse , who called out , ' O , my God , I am stabbed to the heart ; " he ran to his assistance , and then saw tbat man ( pointing to the accused ) throw the knife down on the floor ofthe cell ( the knife was produced and identified by witness ) . By the Coroaer : Hewaon said he should make bo resistance and was again looked up . Had seen Mr Woodhousa carefully search Hewaon on his return from gaing before the governor , whioh is usual before looking &
prisoner up . Hbnbt Youhg , prisoner No . 1 , of No . 5 Yard , deposed that about half-past six on Saturday morning , he heard the accused ask Mr Woodhouse ' if ho meant to report that ? ' and on the warder replying , ' Yes , certainly , ' that he then heard the accused say , ' If yon do , it will be the worse for you . ' The prisoner here denied that he made tbe observation as applicable to Mr Woodhouse . He said he had himself done nothing to be reported . Mr G . L . Cheetah-ton , the governor , said the prisoner was brought before him about a quarter before eight on Saturday morning by Mr Woodhouse , warder of No 5 Yard . Mr Woodhouse deposed that the prisoner had come to him to complain that prisoner
14 had spoken to him on going rouad the yard , and asked him how long he had got to stay , and if he was not the man who was there for killing his own children . Woodhouse said he did not believe one word of Hewson'a statement . He ( Mr Chesterton ) expressed a similar opinion , and told the prisoner t tat he was such a worthless and dangerous character , that he should confine him by himself . Thought No . 14 was present at the time , but he waa not punished . By tho coroner : Hewson ' g committal was for two years , of whioh he has served nine month's . It would be for the visiting justices to determine whether he should be kept in solitary confinement or not .
The prisoner with great assurance , denied the accuracy of Mr Ciieaterton's sla ^ eaient . His charge was against prisoner No . 52 , and h » wished 14 to ba called to corroboaate what he said . Mr Chbstehtok said if he had made au error in the number of the prisoner the facto were the same . The accused continually endeavoured to set the whole yard iu confusion . The prisoner ( violently ) : The governor has treated me most harshly . He not only threatened to lock me up , but to put me in irons . His usage to me has been so rascally that I had better have been put to death at once than endure what I have here . Mr Chesterton , in reply to this statement , said ho would be willing to refer the coroner and jury to
the whole of the prisoners in Ne . 5 yard in contradiction . With regard to deceased , he was a most kind and inoffensive officer , and there was a deep feeling of regret at the occurrence evinced by all the prisoners who were under hia care . The knife produced was one used in the oakum wards for cutting rope . It was an old shoemaker ' s knife ground down . George Owen deposed that he was a sub-warder of the prison , and had had charge of Ilewson on Saturday night . The accused had made two statements , whioh he ( Owen ) had put in writing in his presence . He did not caution the prisoner , lie held the paper he had written in bis hand . The first , made on Saturday night , waa as follows : — ' George John Hewaon state * - that he placed the knife
in his stocking ; that he afterwards went to the closet and piaoed it inside the 11 id of his trousers ; that at his trial he must mention crimes whioh he is afraid will implicate his daughter with tho disposal of two children . ( I think he said two children . ) He intends to apply to two parties for counsel . He thinks they cannot refuse , as if he was to split it would be the ruin of them . He speaks as if these parties were men of property . ' His second state * ment , made on Sunday night , is : — ' That he did not intend to murder Woodhouse , but on account of Woodhouse going to the cell and telling him that he seemed likely to be very troublesome , and having in
mind what the governor had said to him abint putting him in irons , he thin resolved that he should be the victim . Latham was the warder that ho intended to havo murdered , but an opportunity did not show itself . He aaya . that on Wednesday morning he was sent to the work-room , as it was raining . He then got the knife aud placed it in one of tho closets . Oa Thursday morning he took it to his yard and sharpened it oh a pieoe of stone , which was taken from him . He then placed it in hia stocking , and there kept it Thursday and Friday . Ho intended to keep it by him till an opportunity offered to stab Latham . '
IIkwson , on being asked if he wished to put a question , exclairaod , ' Ifo has not put down half . He has not said what I stated prisoner No . 52 said to me . Coroner : Has ha madeaay mis-statement ? —Ilewson : He has nab stated all . —The Coronor : I fear he hai elated a great deal too much for you . — —ilewson : That is all very good ; I am quito aware of that , but I wish to have prisoners 52 , 56 , and 14 called . —The Coroner said he was willing to hear any statement , but considering the parties the accused wished to call would tend rather to damage the accused than otherwise ho should exorcise the discretion in his power , and refuse to call them . —Prisoner ( insolently ) : I think you ought to hear remarks beneficial as well as prejudicial to mo .
The Coroner , having direotea the removal of the accused , observed that the reason he had refused to call the parties referred to waa that he felt thero wn $ a probability of raalioa aforothought being proved by them , and that the accused would thero < fore add to t'ae danger % i his position . The jury returned a verdict of' Witful murder ' againsD G-sor ^ c John Hewaoa , and they were bound over to appear on Wednesday next to sign it , and witness the accused ' s committal for trial on tho ooroner ' a warrant .

" THB EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO THE PEOPLE . Fellow Countrymen , The right of public meeting has , as we anticipated , been unconstitutionally put down . We gave legal notice of the meetings , and explained that the objects were to discuss grievances , report the reception of memorials , and petition Parliament for the release of political offenders . The government never replied , nor sent any communication to us , as the Times asserts , except those already published in the Star . The Whigs have virtually declared that there is no constitution , and , what is still more infamous , no law , save brute force , in this country . Our placards have been torn down , the bill-sticker arrested , and our property stolen by the police . . „ -- n < m / . vtmftrn n /\ iii « inn'pwi r ? vn TUB *
We pledged ourselves to peace and order for the sake of our political prisoners , and to prove that we were not aggressors , but defenders of ancient and time-honoured rights . We kept our word . The glaring inconsistency and trickery of the Whigs , in breaking their promise , made in the House by SirG . Grey , not to disturb peaceable meetings , has been made pitifully apparent . The Press , with one or two honourable exceptions , —the middle classes , almost to a man—and both Houses of Parliament—" have sanctioned the enormities of the Government . Not a member of tbe House of Commons put a single question to the Ministers of the Crown , no longer now Ministers of the nation . Their treasonable acts , at one time , would have cost them their heads .
The question is now one of perfect open and advised hostility to all Reform , and the opposition is justified by what ? Not by the peaceable meetings of the people , but by a reference to France . The French people have not had the political education of the British , and they would have been equally ignorant , had it not been for public meetings . The Whigs , having chosen a false and most odious position , let us pin them to it , and let the people decide the issue by a most rapid , unprecedented , and overwhelming organisation of numbers .
Let a million of men organise . Let the cry be ' Our ancient and present right . ' Let all be open as day . We have now a powerful reajon for action , a hated enemy before us . Watch the result of the trials , make no secret preparations , nor be led into secret organisation ; avoid all concerted plans , signs , or conspiracies . Be men . The right of meeting is strong enough , as a rallying cry , to put any government to fli g ht . Spies will , of course , be universally employed , but their trade is easily stopped if men act openly , and with that manliness which the defence of a right , made venerable by the custom and practice of a thousand years , must assuredly create .
The Middle Classes , who rejoice at an imaginary defeat of the Chartist body , may be reminded , that if the People stand aloof they are powerless in any struggle with the Aristocracy , The Specials have played the game of a ruthless and blood-thirsty aristocracy . They have bludgeoned the people from all union with them ; and the Government have eabredthem out of their righteous meetings and peaceful agitation . The Middle Class must abide the loss of such fatal policy during their impending struggle , and the Government meet the fate so fast approaching , and so inevitable , when the basis of all powerpublic confidence—is withdrawn .
The hostile Press should also have it hinted to them , that in case of invasion it would be anything but safe to have a rigbtless , and by consequence a disaffected population . The sullen apathy of an enslaved people , the absence of a militia , and complete indifference on the part of the Chartists , would place the Government and Aristocracy between two
enemies . Our agitation must not , however , be allowed to flag ; continued exertion at the work of organisation must now be far more apparent than ever . The Liberty Fund must be secured , as a powerful means of gaining the Charter . Every arrangement is being made to secure the best of Counsel for the prisoners , and likewise to support their families . We again call upon you to strengthen our haads at this particular moment . We are narrowly watch
ing events . The news from the country is of a cheering description , and from all the evidence before us we are inclined to believe that the Government is in a false , and we in an improved position , although it must be evident that at no time were the People and the Government so decidedly at open warfare . Firmness , prudence , and vigilance , must be by all exerted to the utmost , and if the people are only true to themselves the day is at hand when liberty will be enshrined , by the realisation of the glorious principles of the Charter . Yours faithfully , P . M . M'DOUALL , J . M'CRAE , ERNEST JONES , SAMUEL KYDD , JAMES LEACH . ^ r-s- *~^^** J < ' « 4 ^ Ht ' ** - ^ rb ''^ . ' ^ WwV ^ yt

REPORT FROM DR M'DOUALL . FaiENDs , —You were no doubt aware that I was appointed to remain in the metropolis during our expected demonstration at Bonner's-fields . 1 made every arrangement requisite for holding a peaceful demonstration on Monday , the 12 th inst . The Central Committee were directed to be at Perry ' s Coffee House by six o ' clock iu the morning . I was up at my duty by four o ' clock . Means were adopted to secure information continually from all
points . It was soon ascertained that the police , the military , and pensioners , were on the move . I visited the Fields , and found all quiet and unoccupied at eleven o ' clock ; pointed out a suitable place for the van , and engaged it . On my return to the coffee house I was pleased to observe the number of our bills posted in the shop windows , and the entire absence of any alarm . The number of Specials I also ascertained to be unusually limited iu number , the loyal steam having evaporated from the empty fills .
After twelve o ' clock , it was reported that the forces had taken possession of the ground . I immediately announced my intention of proceeding to the Fields , which I did in a cab , accompanied by several of the committee . The Government having given no reply to our letters as an Executive , and perceiving the immense mass of police armed with cutlasses , drawn up so as to flank the position we usually occupy for meeetinjs , I considered it my duty to make immediate inquiries as to the real intentions of Government . Another reason was , that a vast number of friends had left town under the idea that no iaterruption would be given by Government to our meeting .
I went amongst the police , and demanded of several inspectors an interview with the magistrates , announcing at the same time my name and business . I could not , however , make anything of the head crusher , and I instantly proceeded to the workhouse , were I found 500 old Pensioners . I demanded admission to speak with the commanding officer . He made his appearance in a very short time . I told him who I was , and wished to be conducted to the magistrate on duty . We went through the soldiers , and I waited a short time , until the officer returned and conducted me to a gentleman who gti veins , name as Arnold . I bowed very politely to him , and asked what his intention .- were , stating to him the legal notice sent to the Government . He said , there was no intention to interfere , provided no riot occurred . '
I replied , that I knew very well what that meant , and wished positively to know whether the Government intended to stop the meetiii" * . He replied , Well , Mr M'Douall , my name is Arnold , the acting magistrate here , and you may trice my W , rd as an authority from the Government , that they will not allow ihe meeting to take place , if it does , I must do my duty . ' ' No doubt sir , and I will do mine . Having come for a peaceful purpose , and that being known to all , I will not risk a murderous collision with the im . mense force collected here . None of our people will he here , and 1 shall take steps to prevent them , but I solemnl y protest against the violation of the ancient right of meeting , aud shall holl Lord John Russell responsible . '
' Very well , sir , that remains between the people and the Government . ' 'May I ask , sir , if it is your intention to sanction an attack on the poor women aud children now on the ground , when we are gone . ' ' Most certainly not , sir , on them . ' I thanked him for his candour , and retired . 1 found all prepared outside during the brief parley , and the forces in line . 1 walked down the police line , and made my observations , accompanied by a great crowd , who , however , speedily dispersed , when informed of our intentions , and the intention of the Government . I remained iu the neighbourhood until ei ght o ' clock at ni ght , receiving continual reports , but nothing occurred , except dreadful hooting and groaning at the mounted police .

Murder Nbah Ledbury.—On Monday Night A.U...
Murder nbah Ledbury . —On Monday night a . u ten o'clock , two men , named Bennett and' c « 5 ? were returning home from a cider-house , called ? if ' ' Cross Keys , ' about a milo distant from LedbiW when , on their approaching a secluded spot near ?' Bradlow turnpike , they were accosted by a felW named Samuel Taylor , better known by the an ^ i lation of « Gander . ' A few words in a friendly man ner passed between them , when Taylor , addr »«» u * himself to Bennett , said , Well , Tom , you reS dropping it on me some time ago , don't you ? j g | i 0 „ i 5 like to pay you for it now ; » upon which Bennett en treateJ him not to do so , as he did not wish to aiiir rel with him : but Taylor , regardless of his entreT ties , struck the deceased a tremencious blow whinh felled him to the ground . The poor fellow , as soon as he could recover himself , again importuned for mercy , but te no purpose , nor did he desist until
Bennett fell from his blows , a lifeless corpse Tht yillam then made off , and has not yet been taken He is about twenty-two years of age . ' Effects of the Thunder-stobk On Mondav evening a thunderstorm passed over tbe metropiljj The vivid flashes ot lightning , coupled with the rapid heavy peals of thunder , wbion followed each otaer in quick succession , proved the proximity of the eleo . trie fluid . A Mr Scott , ef Harrow Weald , between Willesden and Harrow , had a fine cow and two year , lings killed on the spot , near an old elm tree , under which it is eupposed they had nought shelter from the rain . A poor man who had been doing some field work on the farm , was incautious enough to seek shelter at the same place , but he was unhappily struck by the lightning :, and brought into town for surgical aid , being in a state of insensiblUty and blindness .
