^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ " ¦ — GREAT CHARTIST MEETING IN THE CITY OF LONDON . ( Continuedfrom the Fifth Page . ) Mr . W . Drxos next addressed the meeting , in rapport of the resolution , and , m doing so , said , the little hit of sfcurp-snooting which had taken place , was nothing after all , but men speaking their opinions on minor questions . In the resolution , there appeared to be three distinct heads , namely , the object to he attained , " Tho People ' s Charter , " the means to he adopted in order to . attain it , •* Organisation ; " and , inthe last place , the benefits that would [ arise frow its attainment , " The Moral , Social , and Political Elevation of the People . " In reference to the first part of the resolution—the Charter . —After the very able speeches they had heard from these gentlemen who had preceded him ,
it needed no comment from him , but the second part of the resolution was of -vital importance ; they never would have the Charter , unless they adopted the means of getting it ; and , in his humble opinion , the means were in their own hands , aud if they did not make use of them , they were unworthy of the benefits which would arise from its enactment , and the proper use of the powers it would confer upon them . The first thing to be done , was the forming themselves in an associated nody . Every man who telived the Charter to be the instrument by which he could work out his social and political salvation , was , in duty bound , at once to become a member of the " National Charter Association . " It was , therefore ,
imperative , that the leading men in the various localities should commence enrolling members immediately . Iu conclusion , he implored of of them to set to work at once in good earnest with the organisation , for they might depend upon itthatso long as only classes were represented in the Legislature , so long would classes only be cared for . They had some good men and true in the House of Commons , but their labours were useless unless they had the support of the people from without . If , therefore , they valued the patriotism of their friends and their own freedom , they would not only give their support to the resolution , but , -would , both individually and collectively , do their ntmost to carry it into practical effect . ( Loud cheers . )
After a few remarks from Mr . Isaac Wilson , on the motion of Messrs . Retxonds and Stalwood , a •? ote of thanks was carried by acclamation to the Chairman , and this important , crowded , and most enthusiastic meeting terminated .

Asirrox-TjxDEK-LvsK . —At a meeting of Chartists it was resolved : — "That we , the Chartists of Ashton , do forthwith join the ^ National Charter Association , and send for cards ofmemhership . " "That we open a discussion class on Sundav evening next . SrocKPoar . —At a members meeting held in the Association room , convened for the purpose of discussing the new Constitution of the Charter Association , the following resolutions were passed unanimously : — " That the third article of the new Constitution is incomplete , inasmuch as it makes no provision for the permanent existence of the several localities , and will ultimately destroy local agitation , « s the shilling which each member pays , -will he
absorbed by the Executive Committee , the localities will he without funds . Therefore , in order that this may he alleviated , we desire that local laws he made , empowering localities to collect funds , and that the following words be added to the third article , viz ., subject to the local laws . * " "That the words 'Executive Committee , " in the twelfth article be expunged , and the following added in their stead , ¦ viz ., 'Each district . '" WHrrnxGiox and Cat . —At a meeting of members on Sunday last , a discussion was opened on the labour question . Several members having spoken on the degraded position of labour generally , the meeting was adjourned until Sunday evening , when the subject will be renewed .
Opksixo of the aew Cm Cuabtist Hall axd ArnKS ^ nsL—On Tuesday evening , the Oripplegate Locality opened their neat and comfortable hall , 26 , Golden-Lane , Barbican . The hall is a plain substantial edifice , and worthy of the patriotic citizens who have called it into existence ; it is one of those things that sprung from the government persecutions and prosecutions of 18 ± 3 . Left without a home , the Chartists of Oripplegate—with the indejaiignbls Fowler , Brown , and Eentley , at their head —took refuge in the house of Mr . Fowler , 28 , Goldenlane , and at length—backed by the industry and intelligence of the Oripplegate locality , and a few other friends—are in possession of their present democratic home . The hall will accomodate three hundred persons ; and ia addition thereto
it has a coffee-room , library , and other offices—all of -which are at present under the able management of Mr . Fowler and the Oripplegate locality . It is intended to have the hall open every evening , for either lectures , meetings , discussions , or readings . The hall was neatly decorated on the occasion with mottoes which at once speak the sentiments held hy its promoters . We subjoin a few : — "All the peoples of the earth are brethren ; " " The People ' s Charter , and no surrender ;" " English , Irish , and Scotchmen—unite for our Charter ; " " Vive la Republique Bouge ! " "Kossuth , Bern , and Dembinski ; " "Ledru Boffin , Louts Blanc , and Mazzini ;" "Liberty , E quality , and Fraternity . " Some two hundred persons sat down to tea , which was served up in admlrabbi style by Mrs . Powler and her daughters , andwhteh cave-both from quality and
qmrntity—universal satisfaction . Afterthe tea , Mr . J . Brisck ( a Jew by birth ) was called to the chair , and remarked , that his being so called was a proof that the committee felt what they expressed in their first sentiment , Tiz .-- <' ThatallBeople 8 ofthe earth are brethren . " ( Loud cheers . ) The chairman narrated , in pathetic terms , the difficulty which a man horn a Jew had of procuring a trade , & c , and the necessity of fraternisation of nations and peoples The sentiments ( three in number ) ¦ were as follow : — "Tlie peoples of the earth ( all of whom are brethren ) — may they march boldly forward in freedom ' s cause until they have attained the political and social equality of all of hnman kind . " " t-o the Northern Star , PbUtieal Instructor , Democratic Reviewand all
, other heralds of progress , may their radiance become more and more brilliant until they illume the whole habitable globe . " " To the advocates , heroes , and living martyrslof freedom , may they continue in their righteous career until they are blessed in the triumph of the g lorious cause ' for which they have so heroically struggled . "—Mr . S . M . Kydd , in one of his happiest veins , gave the first sentiment , and congratulated the committee—in forming and opemhg such an institution—on the appropriateness « JLf ea ' ™ , ents selected , and especiciiy on the fine fraternal feeling embraced in the one committed to his charge , on the broad and comprehensive wisdom of its politics and the fine elevated tone
of its moralland social ethics , which , whether they be true or false , had the merit of being advocated hy many of the wise and good of all nations . ( Loud cheers . ) Such Institutions as that in which they were now mei , was well calculated to carry out the £ " £ , ;? " ? I ** - nmim 0 f-ft 6 Srat L ° rd BaconwS ^ ?

He ( Mr . Barney ) looked forward , with hope of the future ,

and trusted he should yet live to see the humanising sentiments he held in his hand prevail in practice . He should like to see them accomplished peaceably , flo man had a stronger desire for this than he , but if imperious necessity stepped in ho then said , let us have them at any price . ( Loud cheers . ) The choir of the Institution , led by Mr . and Miss H . Fowler , here gave the "Marseillaise Hymn" in first-rate style . —Mr . P . M'Grath , in giving the second sentiment , congratulated the City of London in having a little band of citizens who could so practically and patriotically set themselves to work . The Northern Star had been of great service to the cause , and they had recently received a great accession of strength in Reynolds ' s Political Instructor , and the Democratic Review was likewise a very able
and useful monthly auxiliary in the service ; and how much more did we feel the service rendered by these , when we remembered how we had been treated bv that Jupiter Tomans of the press , the Timet , and other papers , & c . Mr . M'Grath then pointed out how these Democratic organs could be made most available for the uses of that institution , and resumed his seat loudly applauded . —Mr . T . Clark congratulated them not only on the opening of the hall , butthe fine spirit of harmony and union that prevailed within its walls . This was indeed a step in tho right direction . Let but the press rightly direct the minds of the people , and halls like that become thrown open for the cultivation of their mental faculties , and we need fear none of the results that unfortunately followed the
Parisian revolutions of 1 / 92-8 , 1830 , or those of 184 S—he meant loss to the people of the object for which they struggled . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Vf . Dixon followed in a similar strain . Mr . Stallwood , in giving the third sentiment , said , the best way of appreciating their advocates was , by obtaining recruits—go out into the lanes and streets of the city , and get people to come to their halite listen to the voice of reason put forth by their heroes , and no doubt they would receive recruits in the way of progress . ( Cheers . ) As to the martyrs , they were recently told that they had thirty still pining in their dungeons : among whom were numbered , Shaw , Bczer , Fussell , and Ernest Jones—( loud cheers )—and he thought something more than lip services were required . They have wives and
families , and the victim fund should be supported . As to their continental friends : there were Kossuth , Bern Dembinski , ' Ledru Rollin , Louis Blanc , Armand Barbes , Mazzini , Garibaldi , and a host of others , to whom they would extend the hand of fraternity . ( Loud cheers . ) He was happy to state , that their friend Vernon , one of tho livina martyrs , was present , and would follow him " ( Cheers . )—Mr . J . Vernon , having congratulated the meeting on such a display of Chartist feeling , so soon after his liberation from prison , described the prisons and its tortures—but withal it could not put down sentiment—it still lived , and would eventually triumph . He had made a serious mistake or two before he went to prison , which he hoped to avoid , and to be more useful for the future . Mr . Vernon then proceeded toyillustrate the condition of society , its misery and wretchedness , and threw out some useful hints , as to a
remedy—recommended a steady and determined course mthe cause of progress—congratulated them on their prospects for the future , and sat down loudly applauded . The choir of the institution then gave "Base Oppressors , " and on the motion of Messrs . Stallwood andArnott , a vote of thanks was given by acclamation to the Chairman and the Committee , who founded the hall , and got up the festival , which was responded to . The hall was then cleared for dancing , and the room up stairs for the concert , both of which were kept up with great glee , and in fine fraternal spirit , until after ni g ht was at odds with morning . " Success to the Jsevr City Chartist Hall . " The Chairman read a letter from Mr . G . "W M . Reynolds , apologising for non attendance , on the ground of previous engagement , at the same tune stating his desire to do all in his power to serve the interest of " the City Chartist Hall and Athenaeum . "
Staletbiudge . —A delegated meeting was held on Sunday last , at Air . John Xawton ' s , grocer , for the purpose of reorganising the Chartists of South Lancashire , and it was resolved that the Manchester council be requested to call a meeting in Manchester , to be attended by delegates from every locality in South Lancashire , as early as possible . It was also resolved that another delegate meeting of the Staleybridge district , be held at Mr Lawton ' s , on Sunday afternoon , the 27 th inst .
The Late Metropolitan Chartist Conferenc...
THE LATE METROPOLITAN CHARTIST CONFERENCE . TO THE EDIIOB OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —I regret to see by a resolution from Aberdeen , inseited in the Star of the 5 th inst . that the letter from this city , which was read at the Metropolitan Conference , has been altogether misunderstood . The style and spirit of that resolution , and the dishonourable conduct of the person who called the meeting—if it can be called a meeting—at which it was passed , would certainly justify silent contempt ; and if that resolution had been confined to this city , where tbe parlies are known , I would certainly have treated it as a matter altogether unworthy of notice , but as it has obtained an importance by being inserted in thenar , which it does not otherwise possess , I feel called on , as the writer of the letter in question , to trouble you with the following remarks—explanation .
The resolution commences thus : —* That this meeting repudiates the opinion attributed to it by the writer of the letter from Aberdeen to the Conference in London . ' In answer to this I have only to say , that this is either unmitigated nonsense , or dishonest presumption ; first , because the letter referred to was written , and read to the Conference , long before ' the meeting , ' at which that resolution was passed , took place , so that I could not , in that letter , have attributed any opinions to it , that being an utter impossibility ; and second , if to get out of tfeis absurdity , the parties attending this- famous meeting imagine that they have a ri g ht to consider themselves ihe Chartists of Aberdeen , to whom , in that letter , I attributed certain opinions , then . I say , they are
gmlty ot presumption as dishonourably dishonest , as that of which they suppose me guilty , and for which I am so deliberately condemned in the latter part of their gentle resolution . The meeting in question had no more right to consider themselves * the Chartists of Aberdeen , ' and to express opinions in their name , than I had . B y the bold and unmistakeable language of their resolution , and the virtuous inorganisation expressed at my supposed presumption , parties at a distance would be apt to imagine that tbe whole Chartists of Aberdeen had been assembled for solemn deliberation on this most important matter , and they will , therefore , be somewhat surprised to learn , that the resolution emanated merely from four or five individuals privately collected together by Mr . William Lyon , who is set down as the proposer of the resolution .
It may , perhaps , afford a deal of fun to Mr . Lyon ; but I ask you , sir , what ; dependence can be placed on the Star reports if four or five individuals meet privately together , style themselves ¦ the Chartists '—as these parlies are styled—the report of their proceedings , and have their gossigs reported in the Star as the resolutions of 'the Chartists ?' I do not blame tbe parties called together by Mr . Lyon , because I know that they might have been misled by exaggerations and misstatements , but for Mr . Lyon I can find no excuse . What will honour , able men think of his conduct when I State that previous to Mr . Lyon ' s meeting , ! explained to him that my letter had been totally . misunderstood b y Mr . Stallwood at the London Conference , and stated to him what I really intended ; and yet , after ibis
explanation , and wnile professing the- ' most cordial friendship to me , he called his friends together , and without giving me any notice , or any opportunity to defend myself , allowed his friends to misunderstand the latter in question , and , on the strength of this , proposed the resolution as it appeared—The Star keeping back the explanation which he could have g iven them , in order that I , Ms friend , might be thus misrepresented ? Mr . Lyon afterwards appears to have been convinced of his dishonourable conduct ; for the very next time we met in the bouse , and in presence of a prominent Chartist , he distinctly denied tbat'he proposed the resolution ; so that Mr . Lyon , after having betrayed me , is also disposed to betray his own friends , after they had served his purpose .
The resolution referred to , further says : —« We , 1 the Chartists / here assembled , declare our willingness to support , and would place the greatest confidence in , any Executive duly elected by Universal Suffrage—whether such Executive was composed of Englishmen , Irishmen , or Scotchmen . ' In answer to this I have to state , that in my letter , read at the Conference , ! did not object either to Englishmen or Irishmen ; all that I suggested was ; that a national secretary should ' reside in Scotland '—the very
wards of my letter—but I did not mean that he should be a ScotcJitnan ; for if they ' are otherwise qualified I have no objection to Frenchmen , Romans , Americans , or Poles , and , indeed , ! would much pre . fer some of these , for they seem . to be made of sterner metal than either Englishmen , Irishmen , or Scotchmen . Mr . Stallwood totally mistook my meaning when he supposed I wanted a Scotchman as National Secretary ; and it will be sufficient , when I state to him , that I am , in the fullest sense of the terms , a Fraternal Democrat , to convince him that
The Late Metropolitan Chartist Conferenc...
——¦ ~— . ¦ . : ¦¦ ' ¦ : > " .. -r ^ ry . ^ v , ' i , ! . I could not entertain the narrow , views which he supposed were stated in my letter to the Conference . To exp lain fully what was . suggested in the isaid letter , I may state that Tta ' ave noobjections to the whole of the rules as agreed to at the London Conference , for , indeed , they have already been agreed to at a preliminary Chartist meeting here ; but what I suggest is , that the Chartists of Scotland should be allowed to select one or two of the National Executive as commissioners or secretaries ,-to resitfe in Scotland during the whole term of : their office , for the purpose of organising this country . That they should reside for a given period in every town where it was thought a Chartist Association could be established : not for the purpose of merely delivering an exciting address , which produces only a
transient effect , but for the purpose of looking after the proper organisation and local working of every association throughout the country ; and seeing that no town of importance was without its association of bona fide paying members ; and when , at the expiration of their term of office , tbey left Scotland to give an account of their stewardship , they should carry with . them the addresses of every local secretary , which should then be published as a general guide to the Chartists of Scotland . I would , however , suggest , that in the meantime , at least , a National Conference should assemble in Scotland , as the Scotch Chartists are net able , at present , to defray the expense of delegates to the London Conferences , and will not be until tbey are properly organised , when , of course , my objection to a London Conference would be removed .
The resolution , already referred to , , concludes thus , — ' And , further , that this meeting declare its deliberate condemnation of the couduct of any individual , who would take upon himself the liberty to express the opinions of the people of Aberdeen , without having authority from them for doing so . ' I . agree to every word of tbisj and further , I deliberately condemn the conduct of four or five individuals , who meet privately together , and presume to consider themselves the Chartists of Aberdeen , and who express opinions in their names without having their authority for doing so . I have also to state , that the letter read at the Conference ,
was not sent to that body at all , but simply , to Mr . Reynolds , of London , and it did mot . pretend to express the opinions of the people of Aberdeen , but simply of a very bumble , though ' sincere Chartist , as will be seen from the following extract * from the letter itself : — ' If you should have occasion to address the Conference , you may give them this as the sincere opinion of one who has the welfare of the cause at heart ;' so that the latter part of resolution is not at all applicable tome , but it mi g ht , with some trifling verbal alterations , apply ; with great force to the ^ arty from whom the resolution emanated . " " ¦ ' '
Though I feel strongly tempted to enlarge , yet , as this is at best but a disagreeable subject , I shall conclude , by recommending to the serious consideration of Mr . Lyon and his friends , a few simple words , — ' honesty is the best policy . '' Be not hasty to condemn . ' I remain , Sir , Yours fraternally , Aberdeen , Jan . 10 , 1850 . D . Wright .
Qp The Late Conference,; And The New Pla...
qp THE LATE CONFERENCE , ; AND THE NEW PLAN OF ORGANISATION . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAB . ' Sir ., —How such a plan of organisation was sent out to the country many are at a loss to know . It is not only defective , but despotic ; it is establishing in its foundation the very system which we wish to destroy—class legislation ; it is going over the same ground we have been treading since the People ' s Charter was brought before the public . The time has arrived , in my opinion , when we must agitate for something more than tbe Charter ; our social rights must be contended for , and carried into practics by tbe producers of wealth , as we never need expect assistance from the middle and upper
classes . Taking them as a body , there are some amongst tbe middle and upper classes who wish the working class to enjoy the whole of their political rights , but they are very few in number . No union can take place between the democrats and the great bulk of the middle class , while competition and the present system of buying cheap , and selling as dear as tbey can continues . We might as well ash them to divide their profits with us as unite with us for our political and social rights . We must take the advice which Sir Robert Peel gave us in 1827 , about taking our own affairs into our own hands .
Sir , —In my opinion , there ought to be a National Conference called in the centre of England , to draw up a plan of organisation , and to recommend . fit and proper persons to form an Executive Ooro - mittee of five , to be chosen on the princi p les of Universal Suffrage ; men , who will be free from any other , office , and who can devote their whole time ( o the cause of the productive class . Measures , not men , should be our motto , and principle our guide , as leadership of men may prove to be destructive of the very best interests of the working class . . ' Sir , —The country , in my opinion , ought to be divided into five districts , and one of the executive committee be stationed in the centre of each district , and a change should take place every six months in each district . Their duties should be
to disseminate the following principles . —First , that laud ought to be common property , to be held in trusi for the benefit of all . —Second , that a republican-form of government is most suited for the presentage . — Third , that Universal Suffrage is the rid g ^ f all . —Fourth , that the producers of wealth ouffif to be the distributers of their own labour , on thtffprinciple of sale and exchange , one with another . —Filth , that the working classes ought to erect their , own schools , and appoint their own
schoolmasters . —Sixth , the formation of democratic tract societies in every district , whereb y sound and useful knowled ge could be circulated throughout the country . —Seventh , to fraternise with , and assist the people of all nations , who are , or may be , struggling for freedom ; against their tyrannical oppressors . By publishing the above , you will oblige , Yours in the cause of Democracy , . Samuel Jackson . Attercliffe , near Sheffield .

. TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , ESQ . M . P . Dear and Honoured Sir , —Having been an ; eyewitness of your conduct ever since you set foot on English soil , for the first time I take the liberty : of thanking you for the strenuous exertions you have made in behalf of the much oppressed working classes . But , sir , I am sorry after a struggle of so many years , that you should meet with nothing but calumny and abuse as your reward , not only from the base and corrupted press , and the aristocracy ( f rom whose lap you spring ) , but from the class you have so zealously and ardentl y supported ; i allude more particularly to the fortunate members of the
Land Company , who have had the chance of location , and who are too well contented to leave their castles , but too dishonest to pay their justPdcmauds for them , in consequence of which it seems to be the desire o f Aberdeen and Manchester to wind up the Company ' s affairs . But , sir , I hope the country in general will take a different view , seeing the estates are purchased from the drunken aristocracy by-the sayingspf the working classes , and your unceasm » toil . No , sir , rather let these castles stand as monuments of the industry of the working c i g and your regard for then- welfare-aaTfinwr-S pointing to tlie social state , and theaceomSment of the rule ' s Charter .

i ^ STEPNEY MEETING .-MR . KYDD AND MR ; CLARK . TO THE EDITOR . OF THE VOHTUBRN STAB . SiB . -Having had occasion to call at jour office at a late hour this evening , I chanced to see in the hands of Mr . Arnott a proof copy of a letter from Samuel Kydd , on the subject of the above , meeting , and to which I would esteem it an especial favour if you would permit theinsertion of this brief reply . In order that it maybe known that I have some notion of the duties and responsibilities of governments ; and to show that my notions will contrast rather advantageously with those of the conveners of the late Tory meeting at Stepney , 1 here give their resolutions in all their integrity , as well , also , as the amendment which I submitted upon that occasion .
Resolutions of the conveners of the meeting : — 1 st . " That as labour is the source of all wealth , it evidently follows that the prosperity andjndependence of Great Britain and her colonies w ill be best promoted by employing and protecting the greatest number of a healthy , industrious , intelligent , and moral population , which can be educated and comfortably -maintained by their own industry ; and , therefore , in the opinion of the meeting , it is the first and most important duty of the British Legislature , and her Majesty ' s Government , to adopt such measures as will best secure employment ^ every one of the population , and for their labour ^ an abundance of the necessaries and comforts ot lite . 2 nd . — " That the unrestricted foreign cheap
labour policy which has been for a series-of years encouraged by the Leg islatures of this kingdom , and greatly extended by the present Parliament ; is , in the opinion of this meeting , theoretically wrong , and practically injurious to the industrious classes , by compelling , them to enter into unfair competition with capital at home and abroad , destructive to the general prosperity of Great Britain and her colonies , dangerous to the stability ot the Empire , and opposed to the independence and hap . pinessofthe whole British population . " - . 3 r ( j # "That as the princip le of Protection for Native Industry is founded on justice to all rand as the acts of the present Legislature have been opnosed to these sentiments and injurious to the w _
elfare of the British population , a memorial founded on . the foregoing resolutions be presented to her Majesty , praying her . Majesty to dissolve the present Parliament , and thereby give an opportunity to those who hold the elective franchise in trust for the whole people to elect such representatives who will insure paotcction to every class of iher $ Majesty ' s subjects throughout the British Empire . ' Here is the amendment , and , if I mistakejiot , it will speak for itself . . That as labour is the source of all wealth , it evidently follows , that the prosperity and independence of Great Britain and her colonies , will be best promoted by the employment of the greatest number of a healthy , industrious , intelligent , and moral populationwhich can be educated and
com-, fortably maintained by their own industry ; and , therefore , in the opinion of this meeting , it is the first and most important duty of the British legislature , and her Majesty ' s government , to adopt such measures as will afford the means of employment to every one of the population , and for their labour , abundance of tbe necessaries and comforts of life , and that this can be done , not by any further legislative interference ; bub by the removal of all remaining impediments to the free exercise of industrv , and by the reduction of the amount , and an alteration in the present unjust system of taxation , by the repeal of tho laws of primogeniture and entail , together with a system of Parliamentary ' reform , embracing a suffrage which shall enfranchise the whole male adult population of the
country . , Now , Sir , with respect to the " challenge and my acceptance of it at the meeting , Mr . Kydd , I think , will recollect , that I , upon that occasion , publicly declined to recognise in him the authorship of any novel or startling op inion ; that I also deolariid my . intention to be present at , and take part in , ' any public meetings which might be said to be called in the interests of the working classesron the subject of "Protection to Native Industry , " as defined in the above resolutions . And now , as a challenge " is a " challenge , " especially when put into
print by the challenger himself , I hereby undertake to meet Mr . Kydd at the same place , and discuss with him the merits of the principles embodied in my amendment , against the system of Protection , vaguely hinted at in the above resolutions . As I shall be absent from town for a few days , Mr . M'Grath has kindly undertaken to act for mo , and to that gentleman I now refer Mr . Kydd or his friends . Thomas Olabk . Thursday night , 10 o clock . [ Mr . Kydd ' s letter will be found in the second page . ]

Mansion-House.—Artists Exiuaondinaht.— A...
MANSION-HOUSE . —Artists ExiuAonDiNAHT . — Alderman Humphery stated to the Lord Mayor that he had , a few days ago , caused to bo brought before him a person named Poster , who was charged by a gentleman with having forcibly detained him in a room in Graeeehuroh-street , in order to compel him to pay for a humbug likeness a sum of money considerably greater than ' that which the artist professed to charge , per handbills distributed at the door , and that if a witness , in a stronger case , in which the money had been actually paid , had come forward , a committal certainly would have been the consequence . The aWerman then road the
following communications : — " 5 , Mark-lane . Mr . Alderman Humphery , —Sir , —Our clerk has just called our attention to a case in which you were yesterday the presiding magistrate . His account of the transaction of Mr . Frederick Foster ' s studio is precisely similar in all its details to the account given hy the Times . ' . It appears he went in , attracted by the handbill , and on the portrait being finished 7 s . 6 d . was demanded . On its being refused Mr . Foster placed himself against the door , called our clerk a cheat , and . called a man to fetch a policeman to take him before the Lord Mayor . These threats , however , did not avail , and to get out of such company our clerk gave Poster a shilling without any consideration passing . —We are , yours , & c ., Rusien
and Son . " "Alderman Humphery , Mansion-house . —Frederick Foster , Artist . —Sir , —Permit me to inform you that tho above individual , whoso name appears in the papers of yesterday , endeavoured a short time back to practise a similar fraud on myself . He then had a room in Fleet-street , where I was induced to leave a " black profile , " for the purpose of having a copy made . Upon looking at the original Mr . Foster said his charge would be 2 s . 6 d ,, instead of Is ., as ho should like to execute the copy with . satisfaction to himself , and that it should be ready . in the course of tho same day , and that the money must bo paid down . I accordingly paid the money , but had to call day after day , and week after week before I could get the original or copy .
I should not have succeded had I not taken out a summonsagainst him at Guildhall . His object , I have no doubt , was to extort money from me to regain possession of the original , which I told him I would not submit to if it cost me d £ 20 . In the event of this individual appearing again before the City authorities , I thought it right to make the above communication . —John Hauwood , Carey-street . —Alderman Humphery , Mansion-house , "—The Lord Mayor observed , that notwithstanding the very extensive circulation of the artistical proceedings of Mr . Foster by means of the public press , the concourse of strangers which passed from all quarters through Gracechurch-strcet was so great , and the recollection of trickery of all kinds was so evanscent amongst the people of London , that possibly victims wore constantly made . His lordshi p wished to know whether the hand-bills referred to in the former statement were still issued at the door «
Inspector Totlhunter , who superintends tho district in which the " studio" of Mr . Foster is situated , said Iris men were not idle upon the subject , and if any deception , such as had been already represented , were attempted to bo practised , the offenders should at orico be brouffht in custody before the Lord Mayor . Ho had reason to know that a system Of extortion was carried on b y a gang who acted entirely upon the principle described . — Davis , the ottcer said that in ono case the portrait of Lord < iOUgh had been obtained by one of the parties , and , after a vast deal of trouble , the duplicate of it was recovered , and it was released by his lordship ' s son ( who would not have lost it for 100 guineas ) , at a pawnbroker ' s shop in Oxford-street , where it had been panned for 10 s , As the portrait was then recovered , ' rtho . parties would , not , take any more trouble a-boui the fellows who had fraudulently obisjacd it , iuxd ^ r pretence of having an engraving

Walker , organ builder , of Francis-street ; ^ Tottenham-court-road , appeared , to answer a complaint preferrea against him by Thomas Allardice , another journeyman ; for having , by threats and intimidation , endeavoured to force him to leave his master ' s employment . Mr . Wontner attended for the defendant . —The complainant stated that he had been in the emp loyment of Mr . Walker for twelve years , and tho defendant was employed in the same establishment , but he ceased to work on Tuesday week , with about twenty fl- »™ U —AJderman ^ Humnhery hoped that M
others a few Of Whom had smco returnca . in audition to himself , only one man remained ^ the department to which he belonged and on the 10 th inst ., as he was returning from his dinner , he me tlie defendant , who looked at him m a stern and Sining manner , and - * " ^^ yRg voir deserve to get your neck cut ; , wwnicn no made no answer , but went , to the factory and repeated the words tothe men at work af tohis employer . The only grievance ho knew between the master and the men was that the former pronosed that tho men should come to work at eight o ' clock in the morning after breakfast , and remain until the same hour in the evening , without any reduction as t o wages , instead of coming before breakfastwhich they objected toand headed by the
, , foreman'they left the establishment . The men used to work " from half-past six o ' clock until the same hour in the evening '—Mr . Walker proved that he explained to the foreman that the alteration he proposed was only to continue till tho days became longer , and understanding that his orders had not been carried out , he left word that the foreman should communicate with him in writing if he had anything to say . He then called the men together , and finding they had disobeyed his directions , told them that it was clearly a question of strength between him and his foreman , who was their leader , begg ing they would consider the matter , and warning them not to throw themselves out of employmentas he was resolved to carry but such a
reason-, able request on his part . He subsequently refused to receive their memorial on such a triflng matter , and when it was handed to him he tore it . without reading ii : after which he was informed that the complainant had been menaced , upon which le got the assistance of the police to prevent any violence when he was paying the men their wages . —Mr . Jardine considered that the charge of intimidation had been clearly made out , and the men might , if they felt aggrieved by tho proposed alteration , have left their employer ' s service , without adopting illegal means , as the defendant had done , which was an offence of a serious character , rendering him liable to three months' hard labour . He , however , was not disposed to inflict so severe r . punishment , but
would mitigate it to six weeks' in the House of Correction . —Mr . Walker and the complainant said they were not anxious such harsh measures should be resorted to , their principal object being that the defendant should be bound over to hcep the peace . —Mr . Jardine complied with their reouest by not passing sentence , but ordering the defendant to g ive sureties for his appearance in a fortnight , and to keep the peace in the meantime , Which he did , and he was discharged . MARYLEBONE .. —A Conscientious Thief . — Edward Bradley was charged under circumstances of an extraordinary nature . —James Crump , a cabman , deposed that at ten o ' clock on Saturday night last'he drove defendant from Regent-street to York gate , Regent's-park , and on setting him down there he demanded 2 s . 4 d . as his fare . Defendant alleged that he had no money , and he was desirous of being locked up , and he was therefore driven to the
station-house in Marylebone-lane , where he was locked up . —Inspector Hutment stated that upon the prisoner being searched at the station a quantity of the best white pepper ground was found in one of his pockets . —The prisoner said he had recently left his friends in Birmingham to come up to town for a little pleasure , and having no money left he procured some pepper , with the intention of going into a shop , and thrusting it into the eyes of the party who mi ht be at the counter , through which means he might have effected a robbery ; but his courage failed him , upon his conscience telling him that he was meditating a sin of great magnitude . —Mr . Broughton , after putting various questions to . the witnesses , ultimately came to the conclusion that it was his duty to pay the cabman os ., and to find two sureties in £ 20 each for his keeping the peace and being of good behaviour for the next six months .
WORSHIP-STREET . — Alleged Robbery by Means of Chloroform . — Elizabeth Smith was charged with stealing a silver watch , gold ring , and nearly the whole of his personal clothing , from Mr . F . H . Jewitt , of Lime-street , City , and Westham , in Essex . —Sergeant Kelly , of the II division , stated that shortly before eight o clock on Friday mornthe prosecutor was brought in a cab by one of his friends to the station house in Lemon-street , where he entcaed into a statement to the effect that , while passing through Whitechapel-road on the preceding evening he was suddenly jostled against by by a , corpulent middle-aged woman , who rap idly pressed a hankerchicf over his mouth , and he was unmediately ^ seizcd by a feeling of stupor , which was
siiceeded shortly afterwards by total insensibility . He remained wholly unconscious of everyshing that ensued afterwards until the following morning , when he partially recovered his senses , and found himself stretched upon a wretched bed , at a low lodginghouse in Thrawl-street , Spitalfields , completely stripped of nearly the whole of his clothing , and that his watch , ring , and a considerable sum in loose silver had also disappeared . As soon as he bad become sensible of his situation he raised a loud outcry , whicli attracted the attention of a young man named Saunders , who lodged in the upper part of the house , and with whoso assistance he was convoyed in a cab to the residence of tho friend who accompanied him tothe station-house .
On receiving the aboee information , witness at once repaired to the house in Thrawl-street , and on searching the apartment in which the robbery had been committed , he discovered tho hat and boots of the prosecutor concealed under the bed , and having ascertained that the room had been for some time past in the joint occupation of the prisoner and a woman named Higgins , both of whom had absconded , ho proceeded in search of them , and shortly afterwards succeeded in apprehending the latter , hut the prisoner eluded pursuit until the pre . ceding evening . The sergeant added , that from enquiries he had made that morning , ho had ascertained that , the prosecutor was still confined at home under the care of a surgeon from the effects
of the treatment to which he had been subjected , and that lie was unable at present to attend and give evidence to support tbe charge . —The prisoner denied all participation in the robbery , and was ordered to be remanded . GUILDHALL . —After the disposal of the usual business a shabbily-attired female stepped forward , arid addressing Alderman Garden , said that she was unfortunately iu great distress , and without shelter . She was authoress of' * Ada the Betrayed , " '' Jane Brightwell , " "Brentwood , " and other works , but was now in the greatest distress . She was a widow , and had a daughter eighteen years of age , who was married , and living in India with her husband . Her mother was a sister of the j & arl de Clifford , and she had a brother living in India . She had a work of which she had done seven quires , and if she could get shelter in a workhouse or anywhere , she could complete the work—she could get sixty-three
guineas for it . Her brother at the present time was Sheriff of Calcutta , and she had several friends in Loudon , but she had not communicated with them for many years , and could not apply to them now . The applicant , who addressed the court hi a deep voice , with a strong theatrical emphasis , stated that her name was Sarah Jones / and that she had written under the name of Anna Maria Jones . She admitted however , that herself and mother had been disposed to insanity . She said the chief cause of her present distress was a distraint for rent , and having been turned out from her abode at this inclement season . She felt herself much degraded at appearing in the streets in such attire , but had no objection to go to tho workhouse for the sake of shelter . —Alderman Garden asked her if she would go the City Union , if ho gave her a recommendation ? She having willingly assented , she was sent thither in charge of an officer .
Destructive Fire At Leicester.—About Twe...
Destructive Fire at Leicester . —About twehe o clock on Monday night a fire broke out on tl o premises of Messrs . Bates and Gould , trimmers and dyers , of Leicester , and , there being a brisk wind at tho time , the flames rapidly spread through the building . Four engines were speedily on the spot , and the premises being situate b y the side of the canal , a plentiful supply of water was obtained by breaking the ice . Notwithstanding this advantage it was not until after nine o ' clock on Tuesday morning that the fire was quenched , and later in the day it was found necessary to send for the engines again , tho smouldering embers having broken out atresh . The warehouse and somo nthiu- nnnwrnnnta
were entirely destroyed , and tho whole range of workshops were completely gutted . Saturday being taking in" day -with the manufacturers , and trade heing brisk , a large quantity of goods had been received from the hosiery warehouses on Monday , arid nearly all were destroyed . Oho firm had sent about 2 , 000 dozens of lambs wool , aiul Angola stock : nigs , and several others had sent largo quantities of stockings , shirts , gloves , « S : c ., to be dyed or " got up . " . Tho building was insured , but not to anything like the amount of tho property destroyed , which could not be far short of £ 3 , 000 . Tho fire is supposed to have originated from over-hcatiri g the stoves in the dry ing-room .
Sir Charles Napier says that , in his opinion , Sir John Franklin is lost , and condemns tho idea of seeking a north-western passage .
