After other preliminary business bad been gone through , and the subject of the Oldham strike having been talked oyer , the meeting adjourned for dinner .

      Afternoon Sitting . The delegates again assembled and proceeded to make arrangements for some of them to visit the collieries in tbe vicinity of the town , which being arranged , an animated discussion took place upon the best Hieans of organising the miners of Great Britain , and the objects of the Miners' National Association ' Tuesday Morninff . The Conference met this morning at nine o ' clock when the roll was called over and all tbe delegates found to be present . The minutes of the previous day were rend over and confirmed . After a lengthened discussion and argument it was resolved ,

      1 st . —That this Conference , believing tbat a National Union of the Great body of miners , is the only remedy for the manifold evils tbat press upon that useful class of men , deem it expedient to establish suet a union , under the denomination of the Miners' National Association of Great Britain . 2 nd . —The following preamble and objects were then passed to be appended to tbe general laws . Preamble . —That to the warfare of classes may be safely ascribed all the evils which in the shape of poverty , misery , and starvation , afflict the working classes of this country ; this is so apparent and so obvious , that no successful contradiction need be apprehended therefrom .

      The miners of every district have ample aod sorrowful experience of the truth ofthe above statement and its effects , which even when locally felt arc of such magnitude and extent as to surprise and alarm those parties accustomed to reflect upon the ultimate results which the absence of union and concert among the working miners must ensure . It is therefore the determination of the Conference to raise the standard of a National Union among the miners of this country , and to bring about a

      general and correct feeling among tbat useful body of men ; to erase the bickering , the hatred , and the jealousy which has so long prevailed , and to create a healthy harmony of action and a brotherly feeling of duty to each other , both locally and general , the Association having for its ohjeets the elevation and mprovement of the working collier ; to procure for him a more healthy and safe atmosphere to work in ; to shorten the hours of labour ; to diminish the excessive toil ; and to obtain the best possible remuneration for the labour of the miner .

      Objects . —The General National Association being only for general purposes , it will be necessary to specify what may be so considered , that is to saythe regulation of the miner ' s day ' s work ; the wages to be earned per week ; the state of the coal trade in each district ; how many days per week has been the average for the last half-year ; what quantity of coals are worked in the district , and how many tons per week each man works ; what are the number of men employed in getting or hewing coal ; also , as before stated , to take cognizance ofthe operation of " The Mines' Inspection Bill ; " to take any necessary steps to prevent strikes of an imprudent character ; in short , to do all in its power to make themselves , and the members generally ,

      acquainted with the real state and condition of their brother miners , and to bring about , as speedily as possible , a harmonious and brotherly feeling among all miners , to promote their mutual benefit and advantage , and to endeavour to prove to their employers , and the community at large , that while oar objects are to procure a fair day ' s wage for our health-destroying labour , yet , we are also desirous that the capitalist shall be remunerated for his risk , and that each party has but to understand each other to ensure to both that mutual relief so desirable , and so necessary to the healthy existence of the coal trade . Also to encourage the co-operation principle ; and endeavour to work for ourselves instead of for others .

      3 rd . —That an address be drawn up and appended to tbe minutes and General Liws , explaining each law and drawing the attention of the Associated Miners to the necessity of strictly carrying out the pr inciples of such Laws;—That Messrs Daniells , Oaghton , and Jude , be hereby appointed to draw up such addresses . 4 th . —The following General Laws were then passed *—1 . —That any Miner joining this Association , shall hecome subject to the rules and provisions legally aad constitutionally made and adopted by tbe proper authorised parties , as stated in subsequent rule , ( see rnleiJnd . ) and shall faithfully adhere to the same , and assist in promulgating and extending the hevevolent . objects of the society to all his brother miners and fellow-workmen .

      2 . —That all ¦ rules and regulations shall receive the sanction of the representatives ofthe Miners of each district in Conference assembled , and shall be adopted by the ballot ( any delegate having power to demand the same on any question before the Conference ) of the majority so represented , who shall have paid their levies due at the meeting of such Conference . Also all oflicers shall be chosen by ballot , if more than one person be nominated to any office . The Conference to decide all motions for altering the rate of wages and for limiting the hours of labour by the same plan ; but any district or locality may , if they see fir , restrict their labour below such fixed sum , but not on any account to go above it . — -Adjourned .

The following Laws were passed . 3 . —That when any question of importance has been decided 3 > y the Conference , the manner of voting shall be recorded , together with the numbers g iven in , so that each constitueecy may see the way in which their delegates vote . 4 . —That every . person joining the Miners' National Association , pay sixpence as entrance fee ; tbe same to include a copy of the General Laws and a « ard of membership . . 5 . —That persons already enrolled members of the Miners Union , shall be admitted members of ifee Miners' National Association and receive a copy of 4 he laws and ft « ard of membership , on the paymest of one penny .

[ We received a lengthy and excellent report of this meeting on Thursday morning , and are sorry that press of matter prevents US from publishing the talented

      lecture delivered by Mr . Jones . —Ed . N . S . ] Kilmarnock . —On Thursday , the 10 oh of October , Ernest Jones , Esq ., delivered a lecture in the Hall of the George Hotel , on "Bread and Freedom , " to about too persons : Mr . John Reid in the chair . The lecturer graphically depicted the present degraded condition of the masses , showing that while the material wealth of the country had greatl y increased , the material comforts of the people had rapidly diminished . He maintained that the present prosperity was only temporary : that from evident causes , which he pointed out , a reaction was inevitable , and that , so long as the freat majority of the people were compelled to epend , almost exclusively , upon manufacturers

      for employment , destitution , misery , and crime would increase . He pointed to the land as a sure remedy for the present anomalous state of things , and dwelt upon the necessity for union amongst the working classes , so as to obtain political power , and enable them to free the land from the unjust restrictions which had led to , and perpetuated its possession in the hands of a few individuals . At the close of the lecture a question was asked by Mr . A . Burns , regarding the failure of Mr . O'Connor's Land Plan , which Mr . Jones answered to the evident satisfaction of all present . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . Jones for his able and eloquent lecture , which he briefly acknowledged , and after a vote of thanks to the chairman

He called upon the people to unite and prepare themselves for the coming struggle , and concluded by repeating the words for which ho was imprisoned in 1848 , — " Organise ! organise ! organise ! " After earnestly requesting them to join the National Charter Association , be sat down amidst the applause of the meeting . A vote of thanks was awarded to Mr .

      Mr, Kydd's Lecture At Nottingham. Mr. Ky...

      MR , KYDD'S LECTURE AT NOTTINGHAM . Mr . Kydd delivered a lecture in the Town Hall , on the 11 th inst ., on " Revolutions , their causes and effects . " On the motion of Mr . Leo , seconded by Mr . Oldknow , Mr . James Sweet was unanimously called upon to preside . In commencing , the lecturer said , whilst he might have occasion to refer to certain circumstances in the history of nations . be should only allude , to them with a view of elucidating a general question of importance ; but he had no desire to prop up any party at the expense of truth , and no wish to have the sentiments he uttered valued beyond the calmj and deliberate judgment that intelligent and reasoning men might think tbem worth . Great events gave rise to sreat thoughts , and tended to develope great

      characters . Men of the most advanced minds—men of the greatest experience—were capable , in the midst of civil commotion and trouble , and in all turmoil , to judge fairly of causes and effects . The most important revolution which history had recorded was , in his opinion , tho great French revolution of 1789 . Modern revolutionary history was dated from that great revolution ; and if they wished to understand the causes of that revolution , they must look for them far back in French history ; tbey must trace the troubled waters to the fountain head , and they might then discover why it was that the great French revolution of 1789 had been so fertile a subject of general discussion , and why men of extraordinary ability had entertained and promulgated opinions directly opposed to each other

      as to the cause and effects , and the worth or worthlessness of such revolutions . France , like all other European nations , had in her time been feudal in her theory of government and institutions , and feudal in her social institutions . The general developement of industry in France gave rise , inevitably , to a change of circumstances , that demanded at the hands of government and the leaders of the people , important changes in her laws and institutions . France , in the reien of Louis the Eleventh , was purely feudal—France , in the reign of Louis the Fourteenth , though not feudal in the spirit and genius of her people , was eminently despotic in the theory and tendency of her government . Louis the Fourteenth governed France as with a rod of iron : his will was law , the nobility

      bowed to his influence , and supported and honoured bis throne . During the reign of Louis the Fourteenth , France might be socially described thus : two-thirds of the landed property were owned by the nobility ; one-third of the landed property was owned by peasant proprietors ; the nobility paid but comparatively few taxes , and the great weight of taxation fell mainly on the shoulders of the laborious and industrious peasantry and farmers . The game-laws , too , were a grievous source of trouble ; herds of wild boars and wild hares roamed at large ; the farmer was not allowed to cut his grass in the hay season without the consent of his landlord , for fear he should destroy partridges ' eggsj ; and it was not an unfrequent occurrence in France , for the peasant-farmer , having sowed seed

      in spring time , with a hope of reaping in harvest , to discover that his year ' s industry had been ruined , that his wheat had been trampled down , that his oats had been eaten up , and tbat , instead of having a provision for the long and dreary months of winter , he had been despoiled of the wherewith to sustain bis family , to pay his liabilities , and to keep himself in tho position of society to which ho thought he had an indisputable claim . Oppression was one great source of revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Man was not naturally a revolutionist ; the farmer did not willingly leave his fields and lay aside the sickle to wield the broad sword and study military tactics . Oppression begot revolution ; injustice , on the part of the rich , towards the poor , was one of the leading causes of revolution . ( Hear , hear . )

      Duties long neglected gave rise to social evils that every day augmented , that every day increased ; and these begot in their turn , other social , other moral , and other political evils , until men , who ought to exist in the natural relation of friends , met each other in the hostile relation of enemies ; and if the rich men of any country—whether it were France , whether it were England , whether it wero Hungary , whether it were Rome , or whether it were Prussia—desired to avoid revolution , they should learn that property had its duties as well as its rights . Demagogues did not alone make revolutions ; large meetings did not alone make revolutions ; they were only the effects springing from a deep-rooted and latent cause ; and governments would act wisely , if they looked to the evil at its

      source , rather than attempt to coerce it in its strength ; they would act more wisely , if , instead of trusting to gaols , and dungeons , and soldiers , for the groundwork of their power , they taught the rich men of the state to perform their duty towards their fellow-men , and particularly that all property was held in trust , that no man lived for himself alone —( cheers)—and that there was a link indestructible , which never could be annihilated , that bound the human family together as one vast deeprooted brotherhood ; and if men could not in virtue , and in virtuous action , uphold their influence , a question of life and death would teach that reality which reason had forgotten . ( Applause . )—[ At the finish of this sentence tbe well-known voice of a violent Red Republican , named Harrison , exclaimed

      to the representatives of the press , " Report that , if you don't anything else . " ]—The lecturer , on re suming , apologised for digressing a moment , but he wished to observe , tbat he had never had occasion to complain ofthe press of this country . On many occasions he had been reported more fully than speakers whose social influence was much higher than his own ; and he ventured to say , that if there were an indecency more improper than another—if there were an ignorance more manifest than another —if there were a weakness of intellect more remarkable than another—it was that impatience which begot rudeness , whether it were in a child of fifteen , or in a grey haired man of sixty , . ( Applause . ) Having alluded to the division in the French church , caused by the Unequal division of

      its property , as another cause of the , great revolution of 1789 , the lecturer briefly alluded to the reign of Louis the Fifteenth , who , he said , although called " The Grand Monarch , " was more conspicuous for his vices than his virtues . At his death Louis the Sixteenth ascended the throne of France , under circumstances which led the people of that country to expect great things from him . He was in the bloom of youth , and married to a princess of extraordinary beauty , and endowed with fine powers of mind ; but , unfortunately , Marie Antoinette had been taught , from her cradle , that she wa s born to rule . The lecturer briefly narrated the events which led the French people first to distrust their king , and afterwards to depose him , and reinstate the Bourbons . The king ( said the speaker ) was

      beheaded , not for his crimes ; but he was a sacrifice to misgoverned ages . Marie Antoinette was beheaded , not because of any strong propensity to evil in her own nature , but because she had been mistaught as regarded the value of government and the power of a prince . The lecturer having in glancing over the historical records of France referred to the restoration of the Bourbon family and the elevation of Louis Philippe to the throne his deposition ; and the reign of Napoleon , his dethronement ; and the restoration of Louis Philippe and lastly , his fall , and the establishment of a lie ' public—a government , however , having only the name of Republic , for the rule of Napoleon Buonaparte , the President of the Republic , was even

      more despotic than the reign ot . the French kings The speaker contrasted the French revolutions —which were progressive—with the English revolution , which was not caused by the agitation of new theories , but was caused by the wish of the people to return to the usages of ancient times The Great English Revolution of 1688 , was not a revolution of class against class of sect against sect , of artisans in opposition to merchants and manufacturers ; but it was a revolution against despotism and a cabal of Jesuits on the one hand , and narrowminded prejudice of a king on the other Speaking of the rights of man—Mr . Kydd said they did not ask for equality of property , but thev did ask for a due distribution of wealth ; they de-

      mandedthat the rights tfjall should be protected . Alluding to the nidged prosperity of England he remarked , thatVne ' y had been told that because the Corn La ^ u had been re pealed the prosperity of the count ry had greatly increased . He asked , where were trie proofs of this prosperity ? Pauperism was said to be so much less last year than the year before . But how much more was It now that in the year 1839 ? Nearly one million and a half . Yes the cost of maintaining the poorer portion of the population'of the United Kingdon was nearly a million and a half more than it was in 1839 ; yet during the lapse of these ten years the increase of the railway property of the country head been incalculable , and during the lapse of these ten years

      the industry of the country had been developed to an amazing extent ; but the condition of tho working classes had not been proportionably improved . ( Hear , hear . ) It was a miserable state of national solveney that did not give with increased advantages , increased comforts and privileges to the people . ( Cheers . ) The rich had increased in their luxuries , and the poor in their wants . ( Hear , hear . ) Sir Charles Wood , in a recent speech had said , sums incalculable had been spent in railways , and had increased our physical power as a nation ; that the wealth of the country had rapidly increased , and taxation had . been nominally reduced ; but the increase of plenty had not been in the same nronortion to the poor as it had been to the rich .

      This crab-like improvement then had given rise to two extremes : the extreme of wealth and luxury on the one hand , and of penury and poverty on the other . ( Cheers . ) M . Thiers had said that all social questions should be discussed , " Discuss , discuss , discuss ; reason , reason , reason ; " and he ( Mr . Kydd ) advised them not to take free trade as a panacea for all their ills , they should discuss its merits , and understand its bearings . They were told that poverty was allied to labour . He denie d it ; it was the law of God that , " the ox that treadeth out the corn should eat thereof ; " it was the law of God that , " the labourer was worthy of his hire ; " it was tho law that , " he who toileth in the vineyard , should have a share in the produce ;"

      it was the law of God , that " he who worketh not , neither should he eat , " ( Loud cheers . ) The speaker , after cautioning the people from being led away from the discussion of these great questions by surface politicians , and that revolution was not a remedy for social wrongs , finished with the well known lines of Goldsmith , " 111 faros the land , to hastening ills a prey , Where wealth accumulates and men decay , " amidst the cheers of an attentive and delighted audience . A vote of thanks was given to the lecturer , and to the Mayor for the use of the hall ; also on the motion of Mr . Kydd , in a neat speech to the chairman , which he briefly acknowledged , and the meeting broke up .

      Latest Intelligence. The Doddinghurst Mu...

      LATEST INTELLIGENCE . THE DODDINGHURST MURDER . The adjourned inquiry into the circumstances of this dreadful tragedy was resumed on Thursday afternoon . —George Kicholls , a market gardener , deposed to a conversation between witness and the prisoner on the 1 st inst ., about Jael Denny being in the family-way . The prisoner said he had been to the deceased on the Sunday morning previous , and had got her to sign a paper certifying , that the child did not belong to him . He added , " George , you will hear of something very serious of her in a short time . She told me on Sunday morning that she would make away with herself .

      Thomas . " He also said that the deceased had two or three different times told him that she would make away with herself . At the time of this conversation he did not appear to know what he was about . He went to the wrong end of the field to set in his plough , and he remarked that he did not know what he was doing . Withess replied , "I don ' t think you do , Thomas . "—Mr . A . S . Taylor , professor ot chemistry , gave it as his opinion that several stains found on a pair of corduroy smallclothes , worn by the prisoner on the night of the murder , were caused by blood in a warm state . — Other witnesses were examined , but nothing material was elicited , and the Coroner having delivered his charge , the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against Thomas Drory .

There is a new and strange movement in Georgia , where the Governor , Mr , Town , has called a State convention—the delegates to be elected November 2 oth , and the convention to meet December 10 th . The Govenor says in his proclamation : — " Your institutions are in jeopardy your feelings wantonly outraged , your social meanisation derided , your honour deeply wounded and the Federal Constitution violated by a series of aggravated measures all tending to the consummation of one object — the abolition of slavefy .

When ; received at the hospital ,, ho wns in a state of collapse . His right arm was torn away , and only hung by a piece of flesh , his ribs and several of his other bones were fractured , and he had received extensive injuries of the head and other parts of his person . His arm was immediately amputated above the injury , and ; his other ailments promptly attended to , but he lies in a precarious state .

      The Great Fire in Mark-Lane . —Three weeks had on Friday morning elapsed from the time the disastrous fire in Mark-lane broke put , and even at seven o ' clock in the evening a great body of flame remained in various parts ofthe ruins , so much so that the firemen were obliged to be actively engaged in pouring water upon them . In some places the fire was still ten feet deep . Thirty men have been daily employed , under the direction of Mr . Toplis , his assistant , and Mr , Mackay , one of the engineers of the Fire Brigade , in removing salvage from the ruins . Up to Friday evening they had recovered about six tons of Italian hemp , nearly twenty tons of ironwork , and soldiers' muskets and sabres . They also recovered about five tons weight of buffalo horns . 300 bags of turmeric ,

      two tons of madder , one ton of chicory , twenty tons of jute , two tons of horse-hair , about £ 1 , 000 worth of pigs' bristles , and an immense quantity of cloth and soldiers' clothing . It is expected that it will take at the least another fortnight to get the remainder of tho salvage out . The rums at the present time present a singular appearance , blowing to vast qunatites" of shellac having become melted and afterwards set together , the men are unable to break it , and during the day they work completely under it . The army accoutrements that have been extricated are nearly all destroyed ; and the splendid Oriental vases , sent as presents by Indian officers to their friends in England , have all been melted . There are still known to be 100 pipes of oil in the ruins , forty cases of castor oil . and six tons of loaf sugar . The bristles known to be in the

      premises when thefire occurred were worth * 2 , UUU . The surveyors to the fire offices , anticipate getting about three times as much-property from the ruins as they have yet recovered . Fire at Islington . —On Friday morning , between four and five o ' clock ; •' considerable alarm was excited in the neighbourhood of Gibson-square , Islington , by the discovery of a fire on the premises of a gentleman , named Lee , residing at No . 10 , Mi / nerstreet . Mr . Lee was aroused by the smoke and crackling of burning timber . He hastened up stairs and alarmed the family , and they fortunately , but with great difficulty , ' escaped overs the roof of tbe house . Although there was a good supply of water obtained , the fire could not be extinguished until the premises were burnt out , and considerable damage was done to the adjoining housse .

      Marlborough-Street.—Picking A Lady's Poc...

      MARLBOROUGH-STREET . —Picking a Lady's Pocket . —Thomas Williams , one of the swell mob , was charged with picking a lady ' s pocket of a purse , containing a half-crown and a sixpence . — Mr . Francis W . Westmacott , of No . 14 , South Audley-street , deposed that on Saturday evening he and his mother were coming out of the Exhibition of the Overland Mail in Regent-street , when he saw the prisoner put his hand into his mother ' s pocket , and take out her purse , with which he ran off . Witness pursued him into Regent-street , when he saw the prisoner throw the purse away . Aeonstable stopped the prisoner until witness came up , when he gave him in charge . —Mrs . Westmacott identified the property , and a policeman deposed to apprehending the prisoner , who was committed for trial .

      SOUTHWARK . —An " Internal Machine . "Mr . East , a morocco leather manufacturer , Nos . 214 , and 215 , Bermondsey-street , accompanied by Mr . Superintendent Haynes , M division , waited on Mr . A'Beckett for the purpose of apprising him of a diabolical attempt : to mutilate or otherwise injure the son of the former gentleman b y means of an oval wooden box filled with combustible materials , and sent through the Post-office . —Mr . East said that while he and his son , a young man about twenty-two years of age , were in the countinghouse , the foreman brought in an oval box made of wood , addressed to Mr . Frederick East , with two shillings' worth of postage stamps on the lid of it . The foreman in handing the box over to applicant ' s

      son shook it , and made the remark that it sounded as if it was filled with sand . Applicant ' s son surveyed it for some time and then took out his knife with the view of prizing up the lid , when applicant advised him to be cautious in the operation , and this caution was rendered the more necessary , as on the lid being partially raised a small quantity of gunpowder fell on the desk . Water was now poured through the aperture , so as to neutralise the effects of any combustible ingredient which it might contain , and the lid having been removed without danger , the inside of the box , which might well be termed an " infernal machine , " was exposed to view . It contained nearly a pound of the finest gunpowder , with irregular pieces of lead , and just

      underneath the lid were a number of lucifer matches and sand paper , placed in such' a position that the last violence used in prizing up the top of the box must lead to an explosion . Upon this discovery applicant lost no time in communicating the circumstance to Mr . Haynes , the superintendent of the M division . The chief object he now had in view in attending at this court was to describe the particulars , so that they might obtain publicity through the medium of the press , and put people on their guard . —Mr . Superintendent Haynos said that upon receiving the above information he despatched a policeman to the Post-office , in order to ascertain if the person who had left the box there could be identified . The reply , however , was that the box

      was deposited there iu tho usual way amongst thousands of other letters and parcels , and that the person who left it was not known or even seen by any of those employed in that particular department . Some suspicion attached to a person whose name at present it was necessary not to divulge , and that he ( the superintendent ) was still following up the investigation , to discover , if possible , the real offender . GUILDHALL . —The Robbery m Patbrnoster-Row . —Eliza Paul appeared , in discharge of her recognisances , before Alderman Hooper , to answer a charge of robbery committed upon Capt . Bailey , a short time since in Paternoster-row . —Police-constable 282 stated that he had seen Captain Bailey since he took prisoner into custody , and that the

      captain would not identify her . —The Alderman said under these circumstances there was no case against her , and he should immediately discharge her , —John Paul , the husband ofthe prisoner , here stepped forward , and said he could not help complaining of the neglect with which his wife and he had been treated . She was taken into custody late on Saturday night , about the time he had appointed to meet her in Trafalgar-square . She was detained at the station-house from half-past ten on Saturday night until about six on Sunday evening , without being allowed to communicate with her husband , or any steps taken to give Captain Bailey an opportunity of identifying her . He did not , " however , complain of the treatment she received individually at the station , but he could not tell why she was detained in custody , and ultimately required to enter into her own recognisances to appear at this court after Capt . Bailey had been confronted by her face

      to lace , and he had distinctly stated that she was not the woman who robbed him . The authorities at first declined to send to Captain Bailey so that nothing could be done till Monday morning . They wore even about to detain her all night , and requested him to fetch a blanket and pillow for his wife s accommodation , and that , too , after Captain Bailey had said she was not the female he had been m company with . He was a poor man , and perhaps would not be in a position to press this case any further ; but at all events he would ask the alderman to grant him a hearing at a future day . when he would bring up the female who accompanied his wife , who would prove that his wife never accosted any gentleman on the evening in question .-Alderman Hooper said that he would be happy to give him a hearing at any time . However , in common fairness to the late prisoner , he thought it proper SUETS . ? " * t ™ t thi 3 c <>« " withouUhe slightest stain upon her character .

      THAMES . -SEMrsiREss ' s WAOES—Rosina Herbert , a young woman with a delicate infant in her lml' Y as ohar Sed wi * h pawning eight shirts , which sue had received to make up for a woman named Llizabeth Miller . —Mr . Ingham asked the prosecutrix what she got per dozen for making the shirts , to which the replied 2 s . 6 d ., and she gave them out at 2 s ., having but a halfpenny profit on each . To Mr . Ingham : A good worker would make six in a day . —Mr . Ingham : Could you do that ?—No ; I can do four , and I give out the other two . —Mr . Ingham : That would be but 8 d ., for what , I presume , is very hard work . The prisoner ,

      who wept very bitterly , said she got but seven farthings for each , and she had to work early and late to make three in a day . — Mr . Ingham : It certainly is a distressing case , and I am embarrassed to know how I shall act . —A pawnbroker in the case here said tho prosecutrix told him she got Is . 3 d . per dozen , and paid the woman Is . —Prosecutrix * I might have said so as regards other shirts —Pawn broker : No ; you said it of these . —Mr . Ingham un " dorstanding that the husband of the prisoner m . in attendance , ordered him to be called in and at th « same time asked the prosecutrix within what nnrinH the shirts ought to be returned ? She 3 i J iS ought to have been sent home that morX m 7 Ingham ( to the husband ) : It has bee ? S d " thai

      Marlborough-Street.—Picking A Lady's Poc...

      your wife has pawned without authority several articles to the amount of 7 s . Cd . Husband : lam aware of it , sir , but it " was through deep distress It was done under the impression that she could get them out again . —Mr . Ingham : You should nofe trust to that , but I will give her an opportunity 0 f getting them back , but if that be not done I must send her to prison . In what time can you do it ? Can you do it in a week ? Yes , sir . —Mr . Ingham * Then you must enter into recognisances for youg wife ' s appearance . As to the pawnbrokers , " they do not deserve any mercy , as they take in goodg from parties who they well know have no authorit y to pledge them , and I shall never , in cases of con . viction . eive one nenny back . Since the hearing of

      this case several letters containing donations for ; Rosina Herbert have been forwarded to Mr , Ingham , the sitting magistrate . As a gentleman , who declined to give his name , handed a letter con . taining a donation for the poor sempstress . Mr . Yardley said , " You have brought a donation for Rosina Herbert . Say I have received it , and will hand it over to Mr . Ingham , before whom the case was heard . This is . the twenty-fourth letter I havq received this morning , in connexion with the case , yet it is probable that each contributor fancies himself the only donor . I should be sorry in any way to check the expression of benevolence , nor should I undertake to prescribe how it should be exercised ; but many cases occur here of equal severity , though they have not the luck to attract so much alien *

      tion as this case gained by being accidently reported . I must at tho same time observe that I have considerable doubt of the policy of the propriety of forwarding donations to persons whose wants obtain notoriety through the commission of offences . The tendency of such a proceeding would undoubtedly bo to give encouragement to breaches of the law . There are hundreds of persons in this neighbourhood who suffer as much , perhaps moro , than this person , and yet who struggle through their difficulties without a violation of the law , and who , if thoy could be found out , would be more deserving objects of bounty and compassion . I hope my remarks ,, if they are worth anything , will reach those benevolent persons . Mr . Yardley also stated that he had received upwards of £ 20 for the same person .

      Portsba.—The "Working Men's Association ...

      Portsba . —The "Working Men's Association in this town has for many years maintained the even tenor of its way , doing no little amount-of good in tha immediate neighbourhood , but working noiselessly , and being seldom heard of beyond the immediatesphere of its usefulness . Its members are not numerous , but they are men of sterling worth , whose faithfulness to principle has been maintained through much trial and difficulty . It has a pretty extensive and well-assorted library , containing the works of most of tho best authors who have written upon political and social questions . The members have been accustomed to hold weekly meetings for conversation and discussion , and a fraternal spirit has been thus kept alive . Some weeks since the committee entered into arrangements with Mr .

      Merriman for the delivery of two lectures , and hired the spacious hall of the Athensum for that purpose . The first of these lectures was delivered on Tuesday evening last—the subject being , " Pauperism , its causes , and its remedy . " The lecturer , in the course of his address , entered fully into the question of the land monopoly , which he argued historically , and upon philosophical principles , contending both ways , that an injustice had been per * petrated upon the people in seizing their common heritage , and bestowing it upon a class . He also dwelt upon the money monopoly , and showed the effects of machinery upon the condition of the labouring

      population , pointed out the evils of the old and new poor laws , and outlined a plan for productively employing the pauper population of England . The audience was not numerous , but was highly respectable and amongst the persons present we noticed some government officials . At the conclusion of the lecture , which occupied about an hour and a half , the lecturer promised to develope his views upon the question of pauper employment more in detail on the next evening . Ths address was listened to with breathless attention , interrupted only by an occasional hearty cheer , and gave general satisfaction .

      CORN . ^ Iibk-mne WmvEsdAV , Oct . KJ .-The show of samples ot hngiisn wheat was moderate this morning , and the sale was fair at fully last Monday ' s prices . . With foreign wheat we were largely supplied , principally from tbe £ « c ports , the transactions were to a very limited extent , but holders declined accepting lower rates . For flour there was rather mere inquiry . Barley , both malting , and distilling , quite as dear . Beans slow sale and rather cheaper . Peas , both white and grey , duU , and la lower . The supply of oats was gcod , with about 10 , 000 qrs . from Ireland , good fresh corn sold at previous rates , but other descriptions went off with difficulty at last Monday ' s prices . J RicHuoun ( Yorkshire ) , October 12 . — We had a tolerable supply of wheat this morning , which was all cleared off . — Wheat sold from 4 s Gd to 6 s 3 d ; oats Is 8 dto 3 s id ; barley 3 s 3 d to 3 s Gd ; beans 4 s to 4 s Gd per bushel .

      CATTLE . , c ' ' Wednesday , Oct . 16 . —There was a considerable increase in the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts ; but at least two-thirds of them were beneath average quality . Newgate and LeadenhaU markets being somewhat heavily supplied , the beef trade here , to-day , was in a very depressed state . From their scarcity , the primest Scots were mostly disposed of at last week ' s quotations , viz ., 3 s 8 d to 8 s lOd per 81 bs ; but all other breeds were quite 2 d per Slbs . lower , and a clearance was not effected . The number of sheep were considerably in excess of those exhibited for some weeks past . The butchers , therefore , purchased with extreme caution . However , the primest old Downs—the supply of which was small—moved off slowly at the prices of Monday last , viz ., 4 s to 4 s 2 d per Slbs . ; but half-breeds , Leicesters , Lincolns , runts , & c , were exceedingly inactive , and quite 2 d per Slbs . lower than last week . Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was limited , the veal trade ruled heavy at barely stationary' prices . There was less inquiry for pigs than last week ; nevertheless , the quotatious were mostly supported .
