Marlborougii-Stueet. Assault Anu Alleged...
Jng me , I wouM drown myself . " The witness looking ever tiie bridge , then saw the female run to the water and jump in , and thc prisoner then turned , and was -warning away , v . heu ttic Witness r . m round and laid Isold of him , exclaiming , « - Why , you ain ' t going away you vagabond , are you , without assisting to get the * woman outl" The witness made no reply , and the witness went to the side of the canal , but the female had sunk . The prisoner then offered him 2 s . to get her out , and said , "You know me , Hive in G eorge-street . " The witness told him that he did not know him , and shouted for the police . Two men came to bis assistance , and laid hold of the prlson-. r , who was trying to jret away . He said he had not shavtd her in , and the witness told him that he had not , bjitthathe did not attempt to prevent her . There was no sppraranee of the poor creature at thc
surface of the water fnen , but drags were procured , and she was taken out after about ten minutes' immersion ; but they could not get into a pab : ie-house , an 4 she was taken to the Hackney police-station , nearly a mile distant , and was then dead . —The witness said , it was his opinion that thc prisoner , who told him the female was liiswife , could have saved her if he had liked , but when she ran to the water , he talked in a euntrary waj . —The constable said , he wanted the prisoner to assist them in iLeir efforts to restore his wife , bat he would not do SO , to take the least notice of htr . The witness pulled him towards thc deceased , hut could not induce idm to touch her . On the contrary , he struggled to get away . On inquirethe witness had since ascertained that she had
, been married only three weeks , end it was alleged that the prisoner had treated deceased very cruelly , and that he had Ipeu introducing himself to another female as a Fiu"le man . —The prisoner , in answer to the charge , said his wife ' s mother wanted her stop in doors , but but she refused , "Xo , I ' ll follow him wherever lie goes ; " which she accordingly did . When they got to the bridge , the deceased said , "You shall see that I ' ll do something to myself ! " and she ran to the canal bank . He laid hold of ker clothes and held her , and then wanted her to go home , but she Would not , and all at once she ran to the water and jumped in . He did not jump in after her , because he could not swim . —The magistrate remand him for a week .
SOUTHWARK . A Member or the Swell ilos Captured . —James Gat-Sil , a fashionably attired young man , wearing a blue cloth cloak , with velvet collar , and lined with silk , was tronght before Mr . Seeker , charged with having stolen a pocket book , containing various documents of value , from the person of a gentlemsn , named C . P . Turner . The complainant stated that between two and three o ' cluck that day as he was passing through the Borough 3 iavketkefvlt a tug at his coat pocket , and missing his pocket-book from an inside pocket he immediately turned round , and observing no person near him but the prisoner , who was enveloped in a cloak , he at once charged him with having picked his pocket . The prUoner , however , assuming to be amazed at the nature of the accusationdenied it , and walked away at a quick pace , but he
, was followed by the comijlainsnt who seized him by the collar , and repeating thc charge , expressed his intention 10 give him into custody . At that moment the complainant saw his pocket-book Ml on the ground at the feet of the prisoner , who then tried to disengage himself ; and in effecting tills in the struggle he left his cloak in tho hands of complainant , and ran away . The complainant , however , pursued him from the market into tiie Sonthwark Bridge-ioad , where he came np to him , and seizing him again , a desperate struggle took place , during which they both fell down , fry which time a policeman came to the spot , secured the prisoner , and took Um to the station house . The prisoner's fashionable cloik , aud also thecomplainant ' s pocket book , were produced in Court . -Wh en the complainant made his statement , the prisoner , addressing the magistrate ,
said—Your worship , this charge , for which there are no just grounds , has come upon me like a thundee clap . I therefore wish that I may have an opportunity of having the assistance ofaprofessional adxishr before I enter oh my defence . Mr , Seeker said the complainant had given a very minute account of the transacri-jn , and probably the prisoner would just explain why he ran away , if he was an innocent man , leaving his cloak in the hands of the gentleman who made the charge against him ? The prisoner said that the attack upon him was so instantaneous , when he was charged with stealing the pocket hook , that he ran away in order to get a policenranto take his assailant into custody . Policeman 154 if stated that when he came to the spot both the complainant aud
prisoner werestruggling on the ground , the latter using thc most strenuous exertions to make his escape . When the prisoner was secured , he expressed a hope the complainant would not press any charge against him , as he had got hack his pocket hoik . Mr . Seeker said , the facts were so clear against the prisoner , that he could not & o otherwise than send him btfore a Jury , when he wuuld have an opportunity of retaining professional assistance in his defence . The prisoner was then committed . . From the circumstance of seme of the " swell mob " hzingseen talking- abont the avenues of the Court dnring the ixaminatson , and to ha \ e disappeared immediately after it was over , it is sn-ongly suspected the prisoner is one of the members of the fraternity .
THAMES . Attempted Suicide at Sea . —On Tuesday , Ellen Gaskin , a respectable looking woman , aged thirty-four years , whose husband formerly carried on a lucrative ousiucss as a purse ana ^ iw ... ai . * .. »« . Craiotxicor , was brought before Mr . Brodcrip , charged with having attempted to commit suicide at sea . llichard Jones , the second mate of the C «) rk steam ship l ' russischer Adler , stated thst the prisoner was a passenger from Ireland to Iiondon on htr last vo ; . a ^ e , and when the vessel was shout eiiiit m : L > s b-i-Joiv ihe Svre , and going at i ' ull speed , the prisoner threT herself into the sea from the fcre part of the vessel , close to tiie anchor stock . The steamer , which passed right over her , was stopped as quickly as possible , and the boats were lowered and manned by the crew . The woman floated above half a
mile from the ship before she was picked up , and she was brought on board iu a state of complete insensibility , and by dinty of great exertion she was recovered and brought lo London . She was in a state of great sufiering , and was not exp-rcted to recover . She was removed to the workhouse in Wapjdi' . g , where she had ever since remained . The prisoner , who was in a very low nervous state , said that the only account she could give » va * , that she was aanuyed by the crew and -persons on Imard , that she was quite out of i . tr mind , and hardly knew what she did . 3 fr . Brodeiip asked the prisoner what she meant ? The prisoner , tremblingly , said tiie men on board were very insulting both in word and Ceed , so much so that she could not rest am where , and she should be ashamed to aieei her husband again . Mr . Broiirip asked the second mate of the steamer if there
was any truth in the womm ' s statement « Jones—None at all , Sir . This is her second voyage . The prisoner said , sue had made one voyage before in the same vessel to Cork , and was then very much anuuyed . The female deck passengers on board the Irish steamers were mver safe from outrage . Jones—She is deranged , Sir ; it ' s all wrong . The prisoner , who exhibited no signs of iuianity , " mutt-red in a low tone that she could not express herself more distinctly , but she had suffered much on hu voyage . Mr . Br .. . derip , after what he had heard , should direct the prisoner to be taken back to the workhouse , and a strict inquiry to be inade into the truth of the serious allegations she had made . In bis opinion , thc prisoner was not in a fit state of miad to be suffered to go at large at present . The prisoner , who persisted in her statements , was then led back to the workhouse , aud will be brought up again on a future day .

Marvellous Railway Incident. On Monday L...
MARVELLOUS RAILWAY INCIDENT . On Monday last , October 12 , a gentleman of the name of Parker , of Sydenham , Kent , was travelling by the mail-train from Derby to London . in a first-class carriage : li : s only cftni : < aiiionb ? iHff a gentienian about 3 J years of a iic , TCinnrknb ! y handsome and perfectly gentlemanly in his appearance and mansers . After sonic preliminary conversation , fcc requested to have the window kept open , and offered Mr . Parker his wrapper if he felt inconvenienced by the cold . Otiier conversation ensued , and he stated that he on : c possessed a large fortune which he had squandered ; that he had now retired from the army , and 5 ; ad not been so nappy for a long period as at that mmient ; adding that some friend had given liim £ 1 , 100 to pay his debts , and £ 50 i ) more to bay l ' uruiturc : and tint the first thing lie intended to do
was to buy a dressing-ease , which would cost him 35 guineas , which Mr . Paxkcrrcmarfced be thought would be a great pity , as no doubt he already possessed ono . . After some further conversation , which began to alarm Mr . Parker , he suddenly dropped on his knees and in a most energetic and fervent manner prayed for his friends the Dukes of Beaufort and Wellington , and more particularly that his dearnmther , who had died in his infancy , should appear , tfcs . After rising from his knees he exclaimed to Mr . Parker , " Did you hear a noise ? You must have heard that Chtd was speaking to me . " At tiie same moment a train passed , the engine of which he declared to be hell . Mr . Parker by this time being greatly alatmed tried in Tain to sooth Mm ; his only reply was , "Have you repented of your Bins ? " " at tiie same time throwing off his boots , e = iat , and shir :, with his gold watch , clnin , and seals ; he began to slap Air Parker in the face , exclaiming , " You must come along with me ! " and thrusting his own bead through .
the window he cut his head and neck in a most shocking manner , and was soon covered with blood . lie then returned with double fury and beat Air . Parker abont the head and face severely . Expecting to be murdered every moment , Mr . Parker entreated him ( in order to gain time ) to pray a-ain , which he instantly did , while Mr . Parker , at the imminent risk of his life , opened the door and made his way to the next carriage , where there was only one gentleman , who , having heard all that had passed , helped him in and shut the door . They had scarcely done this when the madman appeared , endeavouring to force his way in also , and it required the united efforts of both to keep him out , so he i returned to his carriage . This happened near the Watford station . Frequent and unavailfng appeals were made to the guard for assistance , stating that a gentleman was dying , and the reply was that , being ifter their time they could not stop , as the : Manchester train was close behind them . This , j however , was no excuse for the guard not going to j the carriage to ascertain what was the matter . All j Mr . Parker knows further of his strange compa- '

Addiiio . xal pAKTicuLAns . —On Tuesday , the lunatic was found by some labourers , in a field between Molting llill and Kensall-green , and by them taken into custody , after much resistance . ^ The same morning he was conveyed to the Kensington workhouse iu a half-naked state , covered with dirt aud blood . His body had numerous lacerated wounds ,
and one at the back of the head of a rather serious character , lie gave his address as " Osborne Markbam , 94 , Mount-street , Berkeley-square . " His friends having been apprised of his condition , removed him to his lodgings in Mount-street . The strictest secrecy has been maintained by all parties conrected with thecase . as to who Air . Osborne is , and thc motives and causes which led to his extraordinary conduct , but there is every reason to believe that he is highly connected , that he is ; related to a noble duke , uncle to a marquis , and the brother oi a titled lady .

National Association Of United Trades. G...
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES . Glasgow , Monday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs delivered an address to the Upholsterers' Society , at White ' s Coffee-house , Irongate-street , which gave general satis-faetion . Another meeting was agreed on to entertain the question of joining . Wednesday Evening . —A meeting of Dandy-loom weavers was held in the Dressers' Hall , Charlottelane , to hear an address from Mr . Jacobs , on the advantage of national association . The lecture was warmly responded to , and a vote passed that it was the best means that had yet ben proposed to redeem the weaversfrom their degradation and poverty ; and that a meeting of all the hands about Glasgow be convened in some central room , to hear a second lecture on the subject . A committee was then elected to carry out the resolution .
Thursday . —Mr . Jacobs attended the second meetins of thc ironmoulders in Nelson-street Chapel , and delivered a lecture on "The grievances of the trades , the philosophy of strikes ; " and clearly showed that the National Association would be able to put an end to them for ever , and create vast wealth for the working class under the employment system . At the close , several questions were asked and answered satisfactorily : first—had Mr . J . any credentials to show he was duly appointed ? The lecturer replied , " . Here is our scrip book , from which I shall be most happy to give any gentlemen present receipts for shares , if they feel disposed to purchase . " The book was then examined , and all parties declared themselves satisfied with the manner in which the society conducted its business . A committee was then appointed to go through the rules , and see thc necessary business for joining and report next meeting night ,
Friday Evening , —Mr . Jacobs addressed the sawyers—their second meeting on the subject . The lecturer set forth that it was the only means by which the sawyers could command their trade : that the iron man was rapidly encroaching on , Join , then , said he , and become masters of the iron man , and your life will become a holiday of happiness . At the close , a vote of thanks was passed , and the committee instructed to see the necessary matters on joining , and to bear tlieir share , with other trades , of an aggregate meeting in the City Hall .
To The Manchester District Committee, And The Delegates To The La T E Conferenc E O F Unite D Tra De S Held At The Hall Of Science. Manchester.
TO THE MANCHESTER DISTRICT COMMITTEE , AND THE DELEGATES TO THE LA T E CONFERENC E O F UNITE D TRA DE S HELD AT THE HALL OF SCIENCE . MANCHESTER .
Gentlemen , —A printed circular has been sent to me ( as one of the delegates to the late Conference , ) from Manchester , signed by Gavin Thomson , and James Gouldin . animadventing very strongly on the actions of the Central Committee of United Trades ' , and soliciting my opinion in writing on the subject in question . A cony has also ! been sent to my colleague , ( Mr . Buckby , ) and I i resume from that , that every other delegate as also received a copy of the same . How my brother delegates in the Midland Counties , may advise is not for me to determine ; but whatever they advise , let it be publicly known , for secrecy is the bane of all societies . I am not one who desires to foment hatred and discord among any clas- -, but when secret circulars are being distributed through the association , on ex parte evidence , I think the act is likely to entrap some into wrong and hasty conclusions .
The questions submitted by the Manchester friends for onr opinions , are ( I admit ) , of great magnitudes , therefore , we ou-ht to be very cautious , how we act , before we judge in the matter . With these -views , I have no objections to state my honest conviction of the affair , and deliver my opinion . on the parser in question , and in doing so . I will divide the questions into sections , and deliver my opinion upon them seriatim . First , — The Central Committee are charged with violating a resolution of Conference , relating to the support of the builders and others in Manchester , Liverpool , & c . who had ( justly ) abstained from labour through the introduction of an obnoxious document .
On this question great difference of opinion existed , and were manifested by the delegates in Conference assembled , whether the builders and others who had just joined the association , were entitled to receive any monies as a levy from thc association , until six months had elapsed from their time of entrance , which after a warm discussion was carried . Opinion , —I believe no blame can be , or is att tellable to the actions or motives of the Central Committee , for not adhering strictly to the vote of Conference , for thc following reason . That the discontent
among several of the delegates on the question of acting in opposition to the first resolution of Conference , were the cause of many neglec ting to remit their levies to the Central Committee , while others were enjiajed in struggles for the maintenance oi their wages , and had to support men week after week and uisnlli after month from their local funds , which prevented the officers of the local bodies remitting their share according to law , therefore , preventing the Central Committee from affording that relief you should have received for supporting the men under you care and in your district .
Secondly—The Committee are charged with not answering a memorial which had been transmitted to the President . On this point I find a difficulty , either to answer or srive my opinion upon it , for the following reason : — It is questionable with me , whether either the committee or general secretary could , with propriety , take upon themselves the responsibility of answering a document sent to their president , except by his special permission and authority . Because it was sent to the president , and not to them ; therefore , it took the character of a private document . Thirdly—Questions was asked of deep importance to the trades in general , which were answerdd in a formal and unsatisfactory manner . In this c-se no opinion can be given , inasmuch as it is not stated what questions were asked , or answers given . Fourthly—The provincial members hare not been consulted .
Opinion—I think they ought to be according to rule , " if necessary . " Fifthly—The question asked concerning the foreman and maker up , where the master desires his work to be done by the piece instead of day labour , is a question I think which comes within the province of the local committee , rather than the central or national one . Reason—Because the various local associations are all governed by various laws , —and each trade has , I presume , separate internal laws lor the government of their members—which no general or national law ?
can interfere with ; consequently , where such is the case , my opinion is , they should be supported from a local fund ( unless it is a case of an extraordinary nature ) , for I consider that no party can deal with technicalities but those who understand them , and for whose especial benefit these local restrictions are made ; but , if a general reduction is attempted upon the weekly wages , or piece , of any body of men who are bona fide members of the association , then it becomes the duty of the general body to interfere and obviate thc difficulty by their united exertions .
Sixthly—Is a casual workman during a press of trade , who may be thrown out of a job , entitled to the support of the association , who may be deprived of employment through some act of opprcsjion . Opinion—1 believe the act of oppression should first be laid before the Central committee , before anv circumstance could be ( justly ) decided upon , because there is many ways to oppress , aud many to cause oppression , Seveuhtly—1 think the answer given by the Central Committee was a just one , viz . —They must know thc particular act of oppression , before tliey can give their opinion respecting it .
Eightly—If it is the intention of the Manchester Com . mittee , to change the policy of the Central Committee , it must be done by a change of officers ; and to change the officers at a time like the present , would be utter and irretrievable ruin to the working classes , and to the association ; and to attempt to change the line of policy which has hitherto been acted upon with such great success , would be the height of folly , The object of the association is not so much to encourage st rikes . asit is toprevent the necessity for them . Its aim is to raise the working classes gradually from their present degrading position ; and should the association diverge from its present course , what will be the result ? Shall we not be cast backwards , and sink deeper in the gulph of misery , than we were before ?
Brothers , rather than send a firebrand through the country to destroy and mar the good feeling that exists in the society , wave your claims till the proper time , and until the association is in trim to meet all demands . Sooner than . destroy all , let us rebut local aggressions , by local force , and local assistance . I trust that the friends ia Manchester , will re-read
To The Manchester District Committee, An...
he laws and the preamble , when I feel convinced they will see the difficulty of general legislation , without abolishing all the trades bye laws . Friends , let peace and concord be our aim , and union our motto ; and let us be very careful that wc neither muddy the stream , nor poison the waters , in our over anxiety for each others welfare . With these remarks , I beg leave to subscribe myself , your obedient servant , Thomas Winters , late delegate of the Manchester Conference . 73 , Bedford Street , Leicester , October 17 , 1846 . I have carefully read the opinion of Mr . T . Winters , and his statement in general , which I declare to be the truth ; therefore , I beg leave to subscribe my name to the document . George Buckbt , Delegate to the late Conference . 70 , Lee Street , Leicester , October 17 , 1840 ,
MEETING OF THE OPERATIVE COTTON
SPINNERS OF GLASGOW . A general meeting of the operative cotton spinners ot Glasgow and neighbourhood has been held to hear a lecture by Mr . 0 . Doyle , one of the Executive of the National Charter Association , on Trades Unions and the social condition of the working classes generally . The above meeting took place in Mr . Rose ' s chapel , on Friday the 16 th instant , the place was well filled , and great attention was paid to the lecturer . Mr . D . Sherrington was ' called to the chair , and , after a few brief remarks on the value of having such men as Mr . Doyle to instruct them in regard to their social and political rights , introduced the lecturer to tho meeting .
Mr . Dotlb on rising was loudly cheered . He said that he had come forward at the solicitations of their committee to offer a few remarks on the necessity of union ; but while he did so , they were to understand that in advocating union , he was not to be considered as fully approving of thc present system of unions as adopted by the generality of trades . He was in favour of isolated unions , so far as they tended to check the inroads of capital on the wages of working men ; he was convinced , however , that unless a more extended system of union was entered into by the trades this country , they could never hope to permanently better their condition , and , as a proof of this assertion , he had only to point to the results : had thev been the means of preventing reductions
taking place in the wages of those so united , admitting they had been the means of retarding the downward progress of labour , nevertheless that downward course had continued . He then dwelt upon the combination of employers to reap as great profits as possible , and the social power they possessed over the employed . lie then declared that if the masters were united , that the men ought to be more so , from the fact that thc masters' unions were unions for the purpose of cheapening labour . lie went over the improvements that had taken placo in the spring mules , in | such a manner , that many were asking the question— " Had Mr . Doyle been a spinner ? " He gave an in-tance of what had taken place in one factory in Manchester , where there had been eight men employed , earning £ 2 per week each , the same uumber of spindles were now wrought by two men ,
who only got £ 1 4 s . por week , and this certainly demonstrated the blessings consequent upon the improvement of machinery . lie asked , What was to become of the surplus thus created * Unless measures were taken for employing those thrown out of work by giving them labour upon the land , or in manufactures , whereby tliey would have the benefit of reaping the fruits ol their own labour , he could see no hope for them . These measures would , however , be adopted either by co-operation—by joining the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , or as trades nationally . But the grand means of remedy were to bo found in the obtainment of political power , by the enactment of the People's Charter . Mr . Doyle then sat down , after delivering one of the most instructive and heart-stirring lectures it has been our lot to hear for a long time . He was much applauded throughout .
Mr . Samubl Hill moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer . Carried with three times three . Mr . Doyle replied , and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman . The meeting then separated .
IRON STEAM-SHIP AND BOILER-BUILDERS OF LONDON . TO THE EDITOR OF THB KORTHBRK STAR . Sir , —There appeared in your paper last week a letter , headed " Iron Steam-ship and Steam-boiler building , injurious effects of piecework , " < fcc . As a member of the Boiler-makers Society , 1 feel indignant at the calumnious libels contained in this letter , on the operatives of that body . The gross falsehoods contained in the said letter are too apparent to need much comment . The author of the letter , after having been nurtured in the bosom of the society , instigated , if not originated , a strike at Mr . _ Penn's , at Deptford , an employer than whom there is not a better in the three kingdoms , and after
accomplishing that , started to Liverpool , leaving his deluded dupes in the lurch . The origin of what he terms a strike , arose as follows ; Some of the men had agreed not to work piece-work . According the general laws of the society , no man is allowed to take job-work without acquainting his shopmates , and stating the price he is to have for such work , so that the men will know that he is not working under price , and that he is not deceiving the masters . This wo consider to be fair between employer and employed . One man in Mr . Penn ' s shop had overlooked this , for which he was fined according to our article , which Mr . Penn came to hear of , on which he posted a written notice in his boiler makers' shop , the postscript of which was— " That all who persist in the
above attempt must quit my employ on Saturday next , Sept . 17 , 18 IC . ( Signed ) John Penn , Deptford Green . " The men never informed tho lodges in the district of this , but went to work on Monday morning as usual , Jand worked until Tuesday ^ forenoon , when they struck without informing the district committee , who are specially appointed to arbitrate in all disputes between masters and men . As above stated , the author of the letter in last week ' s Star led the men into this fix , and then started off to Liverpool , expecting to reap the reward of his perfidy from Thomas Vernon , whom he has dubbed "Esquire . " Corlett anpears to have forgotten that Mr . Laird , of Woodside , built the " Birkenhead , " and Mr . Wilson
built the " Iron Duke , " which he says were built by Mr . Vernon . Can he assert that he has ever seen work put out of a master ' s hands in a style superior to that which is done under the inspection and direction of Mr . John We & twood , foreman of Messrs . Ditchburn and Mares , Iron Ship builders , of Blackwall ; which firm has built more Iron Vessels in the last seven years , than all the masters in Liverpool put together ? Can he tell what Mr . Vernon wanted to do with the list of the London prices , when surveying the " Pottinger" built by Mr . Fairbairn and Son , of Mill Wall ; a vessel the rival of which is yet to be found , built under the sole inspection of Mr . James Massey , their respected foreman . Now , as there is a
surveyor appointed by government to superintend all Iron Steam Vessels , is it not placing the masters and that gentleman in a very unfavourable light , could credit be given to the gross falsehoods Corlett has asserted ? What will the Messrs . Maudsley , Field , and Co ., Messrs . Seaward and Co ., Messrs . Miller and Ravenhill , Mr . Fairbairn , Mr . Penn , Messrs . Robinsons , and other Master Boiler Makers say , if they hear of Corlett ' s falsehoods , While desirous of improving our own conditions , wc desire to maintain the reputation of our employers . Sir , I will not further trespass on your valuable columns . By inserting this you will oblige the Friendly Boiler Makers Society of the London District .

We , the undersigned , having heard the above read in general meeting assembled , approve of its contents , and hereby authorize Brother Alexander Fletcher , to forward the same to the Northhrn Stcir for insertion .

legislature hereditary was rendered obvious , as neither judges nor bishops were hereditary , and surely if the hereditary principle was good , it would be applied in the latfor cases . As regards the so-called " Com * mons , " it was not a House of Commons at all , seeing that the majority ofthc common people were denied the right of a voice in electing its members , and its members were composed of the sons ot Peers , their nominees , Baronets , Knights , Officers in the army , navy , « tc ., < fcc . We talked of Constitutions , but his opinion was that England wanted a Constitution . He thought the laws should be based on the laws of God , as the laws of God and of nature partook largely of the essence of equality . He knew tlieir were some who would not take any but an indifferent part in advocating the suffrage for man , who were yet active in advocating thc rights of suffrage for women . He could not perceive the necessity of civine woman the suffrage . He thought when their
Charter enfranchised men , that their brothers and husbands would protect their rights . The abuse of goverment was shewn in the adoption of Poor-laws , Enclosure Bills , < fce . Mr . M'Grath then alluded in lauditory terms to tho Reading room established in that Institution , and detailed its great merits and advantages to the working classes , and strongly appealed for support in its behalf . He also mentioned with approbation the Central Registration and Election Committee , and hoped the men of "Westminster would not fail to elect a local committee to act in concert with it , as with united exertion the people would easily perform their state task of returning twelve members lo represent their interest , and aid and assist Thomas Slingsby Buncombe in procuring such a constitution and government as should reform all " abuses , " and be of " use" to the whole community . Mr . M'Grath was repeatedly cheered during the delivery of his eloquent address .
At the conclusion . Mr . Stallwood rose , and said the Lecturer had taken a startling position , to deny the old Radical axiom that " Government was a necessary evil . " It would take a much stronger argument than any the lecturer had adduced to convince him that government was not an evil , Then as regarded the non-extension of the" franchise to woman , he could not agree with that . He mixed much with the female portion of the community and he found great intelligence amongst them . History both sacred and profane , gave them many instances of valiant and daring conduct on the part of womenactions which set rare examples to men . Even in our own time we had some most brilliant examples . Had there not been Mary Wolstoncrafts ? Was there not Margaret Reynolds ( Mrs . Chapplesmitll ) , Mrs . Martin , and last , not least , Mary Ilowitt ? Would their lecturer venture to tell him , that highly
intelligent , virtuous women like these , should be denied the right of the franchise , whilst it was given to the most stupid of men ? Again , would the lecturer tell him that the brothers and husbands of the aristocracy had taken care of the interests of their female relatives ? Was it not notorious that they had gambled and wantoned away their patrimony . Mr . T . M . Wheeler ably followed on the same side—and said as ,, regarded the question whether " Government was a necessary evil , " himself and Mr . Samuel Kydd had challenged Mr . M'Grath , or any other person , to a discussion in that or any other place , at any time tliey might please to name . For his part , he contended that government ruling as it did by majorities , must to all intents and purposes be an evil to the minority—who were compelled toaubmitto that majority . After a strong appeal in favour of the right of woman to the suffrage , Mr . Wheeler gave way to
Mr . W . D . Rurrr , who most eloquently and ably supported the right oi woman to an equal share in the Elective franchise , and the affairs of government with man . Mr . Jous Dowliho agreed with the Lecturer , and thought if the suffrage was extended to woman , —it would interfere with domestic happiness . Mr . M'Grath replied—stating that he did not deny the right of women to the suffrage , but he doubted the policy , and much questioned the necessity . Give us the "People ' s Charter , " and then if found necessary he would be quite willing to go into the question of Woman Suffrage . As to the other proposition relative to a discussion , he was ready to undertake a discussion , or that question " Government an evil , " at any time .
Mr . \ V . Robson , in moving a vote of thanks to the Lecturer , said with Mr . M'Grath ' s eloquent lectures he generally agreed , but as Mr . M'Grath agreed in principle on right of Woman Suffrage , he thought it was frivilous in him to cave about its policy , however , he had much pleasure in moving the thanks o . ' the meeting to him , and hoped to hear a discussion on the point in dispute , discussion being well calculated to bring out latent talent . Mr . W . D . Ruffv seconded the motion which was carried by acclamation . Mr . M'Grath made a suitable reply , and the meeting dissolved . Several members were added to the roll of the National Charter Association , and an addition was likewise made to the shareholders of tiie Land Society ; whilst the signatures to the National Petition were much augmented .

Mr . Hurley , in a clear and forcible manner , explained the principles of the People ' s Charter , and the benefits to society by its adoption .
Mr . John Jennings seconded the resolution , and contrasted the state of society as at present constitute !? , and what it would be under the principles of the Charter . Thc motion was carried unanimously . Mr . Smyth moved the second resolution : — That in the opinion of this meeting the only sure and tangible mode of relieving the working classes of this country from the f * ar of poverty and want , and aid them to the restoration of his undoubted right to be first partakers of the fruits of his own labour is by joining and becoming members of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society ; we , therefore , pledge ourselves , individually and collectively , to use our endeavours in carrying out the objects of the society in this neighbourhood . Joseph Aldetson seconded the resolution , and explained the objects and benefits to bo derived from the occupation of the land iu a political and social point of view .

Total .. 21 , 801 .. 47 , 908 .. 1 , 031 A change occurred this morning in the general tone of trade at Smithtield in favour of the buyers , owiii" partly to the increased supply of meat , hut more directly to the somewhat backward feeling of the butchers , owiii" to their shops being pretty well supplied . Tho only exception to either a fall in price or decline of business was in mutton , which continue to hold a firm sale at the late advance in quotations . The supply of beasts was very large , the number being returned as upwards of 4 , 300 . This tended in itself to make the trade dull , and lower prices by 2 d per stone upon last week ' s currencies . Prime old Scots fetched 4 s 2 d . line serviceable meat 3 s lOd and coarse qualities from as 2 d per stone , There was ' still however , it very gopd business done under the circumstances . Of sheep the number which paid toll was 2 5 SU head what he termed
, being may a fair supply under all circumstances . The mutton trade opened firm -ird re lnuincd so all the day , but there was not quite so active a demand as on this day last week , notwitlistandiiiff former rates were obtained tor all kinds . Mr . Giblett sold some very fine Downs and halt-breds at 5 s to us 4 d , which were about the average price . Polled sheep ruled steady at 4 s 4 d . On the finest quality of veal a decline of 2 d per stone occurred , the current quotation being 4 s l » d , instead of os . as for some markets past . Inferior kinds sold at 4 s . llie greatest decline of the day was in pork the rates being full Cd per stone under those lately united Dehgate pigs made but is Sd instead of 5 s 4 d , mid coarse kinds only 3 s lOd instead of 4 s 4 d as for some time inst Ihu accounts from the various provincial cattle fairs re . present a general decline of thc supply of both beast aud sheep with much buoyancy in prices and activity of trade

Provincial Markets. Iuchmond (Youksiuiif...
How Cobn- Mabket . —There has been an exceedingly limited amount of business passing in any article of the trade during the past week ; millers are well in stock and , seem disposed to pause before giving the advance demanded by the holders . At this day a market , with a large attendance of farmer * , oWing tO itg being Out' fair , there is onlv a middling supply of wheat , and more money being demanded , business was checked ; we note no alteration in prices , except for anything very line , which made Is . more money ; Foreign wheat neglected , and more offering , than for some time past . Barley keeps m good demand and the stock of grinding is much reduced ; no alteration in any other kind ofspnngcorn . Oflinseedwebave further arrivals , and the demand is less active ; the same mav be said of rapeseed . Linseed cakes still find buyers at our quotations , but not to so great an extent as a fortnight ago . Rape cakes exceadingly scarce and dear . No bones on the market .
Birmingham Corn Exchange . — During the present week our millers have not been free buyers of wheat , but holders declined selling except at an advance of Is . to 2 s . per qr . ; Ms . per 9 st , lolb . has been realised for fine red English , and more for white . Malting barley in request , and Is . per qr . dearer . Grinding firm , at last week ' s prices . InBeans ' andoats no alteration . Liverpool Corn Market . —The corn market , though not in ft very active state , fully sustains the recent advance in prices , Thcprincipal business since last Tuesday lias been iu American flour , in bond , of which several thousand barrels have changed hands at 33 s . to 33 s . 6 d . per barrel , and there are few sellers now under 31 s . A moderate business lias been done in wheat at extreme rates ; Irish new has brought 8 s . led . to 9 s . por TOlbs . Oats have advanced Id . to 2 d . per bushel . Good parcels of oatmeal are scarce and command full prices . No change has occurred in barley , beans and peas , but each article is ready sale at late rates . Tho duty on wheat and flour will this week be reduced to the lowest point under the present law , viz , Is . per qr . on the former , and about i ' s . ljd . per barrel on flour . The quantity of each now under bond , will be about 55 , ' . 00 quarters of wheat , and about 180 , 000 barrels of flour .
Warrington Corn Market , Wednesday . —There was more new wheat offering from thc farmers than wc hav » had since the harvest , which was sold at an advance of Id to 2 d per bushel : new , 8 s 9 d to !) s and 0 s Hd , old , 8 s Gd to 8 s loid per bushel of 70 lbs .

Newcastle Corn Market , Tuesday , —We had a good supply of wheat at this day ' s market from the growers , as well as a very large shorv of coasting samples , for which the trade remained steady , and a moderate extent of business was transacted , at last Saturday ' s rates . fine new malting barley again ruled rather deader , but no improvement can be quoted in the value of secondary descriptions . Malt readily - "ommanded late prices . Rye was inquired after at a further advance of Is per qr . Oats also were looking higher . In beans and peas we had no material alteration .
State Of Trade. Leeds.—The Same Duu Stat...
STATE OF TRADE . Leeds . —The same duU state of trade continues in our Cloth Halls as has been thc case of late ; tUe foreign houses are scarcely in the market at all , and the home buyers purchase with the greatest caution and only for present need ; prices are however pretty steady , but the manufacturers complain heavily of the want of profit . Manchester , Friday evening . — The great excite , ment in the Liverpool market has only caused people to look to short time in earnest , as we can scarcely get a faction advance on goods , and in yarn but little . Although there is as yet no organised plan for the adoption of short time , it is more or less spreading , and we think before the middle of next month , many of the large conl cents will have commenced . Bradford , Thursday . —There is comparatively a limited demand for wool , but prices are firml y maintained , as tiie staplers conceive that-they cannot replace their stock at less prices . The yarn trade is steady , and prices the same . The export houses are still large buyers . Figured pieces are now out of request , and plain Orleans , Paramattas , < fcc , inquired for .
HuDDERsvirLD , Tuesday . — There has been but little animation in thc market to-day , and , with the exception of a few sales of kerseymeres and heavy fabrics , business has been at a comparative stand . Trade is also very dull in the warehouses . Rochdale Flasvel Market , Monday . — Goods have not found a ready sale to-day , and the " market has been heavy at former prices . Low priced wools have been most inquired after , but the sales have been limited . Halifax , Saturday . — Our hopes of improvement in trade do not yet seem in a hvay to be realised . The demand for both wool and manufactures is languid , and prices not well supported . In the wool market quotations run about £ 11 as to £ 1110 s for middle wethers , and £ 10 5 s common noils broke . These latter hold up better than combing kiuds . Leicester . — The country hosiery market continues good ; but the Loudon demand remains dull for the season . Wools and yarns are stationary .
Nottingham . —Lace : —Business has been rather quiet this week , the London and more distant buyers not having come in their ordinary numbers to market . Prices remain as before . The fear of further advances in the list of yarns , of coarse numbers , does not yet operate to raise the value of the wrought lace goods * . If the . Manchester spinners obtain high rates here , either coarse lace articles will advance , if worked at all , or the machinesmust work to a certain loss . Hosierv : We have great satisfaction in being able to report that all the various branches of this important trade continue in a healthy state , with fully as large an amount of business doing a * is customary at this season of the year .
Glasgow . —Cotton Tarns : The market has been very quiet , and although spinners are asking an advance in , price , it is very difficult to obtain it . l ? ine yarn , say froin ' go ' s to 15 u ' s , has in many instances , realised the advance in price , but the market has been very full of numbers under that at former quotations . Cotton Goods : We cannot perceive any improvement in the market for general descriptions since last report . For some particular sorts there is rather more inquiry , but even f or these the demand is very limited . Iron : Pig iron , £ 4 ; bar iron . £ 'J 10 s ; nailrods , £ 10 10 s ; boiler plates and sheets , £ 18 ; rails , £ 10 Ills to £ 11 per ton .
