From the general committee of this society , a sub . committee was appointed to draw ap a new circular , con . g ' uvtent with the object ! required , as agreed on by the committee , vis—Twelve hours labour , allowing time for meals , such time , to suit the convenience of both employer and employed , and which was unanimously adopted at several public meetings of the trade , held in different part * of London . The following was-prepared by that sub-committee , submitted to a general meeting ef delegates , and passed unanimously : —
'to the toads . , 'The committee of this society feeling desirous tore , more any impression which may exist in tho minds Of the trade or public , of inconsistsney on their part , ia deviating from their first determination of a partial abolition of night work ; beg to inform the trade , they were then induced to advocate a partial abolition , solely from a desire to meet the wishes of many employers , who imagined they would not be enabled to carry on their business , unless their men laboured night and day . ' From general information which the committee hare obtained , and upon more mature consideration of what
is required to ^ emedy the evils affecting both man and master , they are convinced of the folly of such an opinion at that before expressed ; also of the unfairness of doing business on such a system , as it would place many of the masters in an unequal state of competition , and of the impossibility of men being enabled to labour so beneficially by night and by day , have , therefore , determined to advocate an entire abolition of night work , in doing this , the committee consider they have kept the interest and welfare of the masters in view , as well as that of the men . Without this , no reform can be successfully or beneficially carried out .
Much anxiety has been expressed by many etnploym , to know how their work can be accomplished within the space of twelve hours . The committee do not " attempt to explain how eighteen hours work can bo executed withinth « spaie of twelve , nor do they wish to dictate to the masters , how the word connected with . ' the dif . fereat classes of tho business is to be done , as they are convinced that every one can make arrangements con . ibr tent with the nature of his trade , to have it completed within that tine ; but they beg respectfully to assure them thatevry contingency connected with the business will be readily met by the men , TO THE PUBLIC . " « In submitting 4 o the notice of the public tho following brief remarks on * he grievances of the trade , the committeehave carefully avoided making the least mUrepresentation ofthe joaraeyraen bakers oi London , and ita suburbs , —feeling tfcat a just and temperate statement of facts will insure their sympathy and support .
' The present system of commencing labour at eleven . o ' clock at night , is of itself so unnatural , uncalled or , and demoralising , that it deserves the condemnation of every well-wisher to society . 'Resides the foregoing evil , the men have to continue their labour until five , six , or seventhe following evening oadtfrequently later ; taw working from eighteen to twenty hours per day , and is many cases ( more paniculariyaaeng the underpriced portion of tho trade , ) they have ito ( Commence labour at eleven o ' clock of a Thursday night and continue the sasve until Saturday night , and occasionally Sunday morning , This system of overtaxed labour and unnatural hour * , destroys the health of the men , and rentiers them old in their constitutions long before they have arrived at the prime of . life , bringing them to a premature grave , and leaving their widows and orphans ' destitute , undeniable evil * to the welfare of society .
' We consider night work to be the principal cause o this , and the great evil to be remedied , as it precludes the possibility of the » on obtaining any mental improvement , domestic enjoyment , or healthy recreation , whieh the mind as well a * bodjiy health demands ; should th « y be inclined to do so , ft muit be at the sacrifice of their health and rest . « The committee views with deep regret , the condition to which the journeymen bakers of the me trap *! is and its suburbs are reduced by this unnecessary system of qjght work , and unlimited hours ef labour , which are < ROt , oniy destructive to the interests and comforts of the meg hut also of the employers , who have candidly ackoosfcdged their inability to remedy those evils , from the spirit of rivalry and competition at present existing amongst them . This prevents their uniting together to effect a » y amelioration in the condition of their workmen , mnuh less « f their own , by any amicable arrangement wbfehfaay be agreed on between them .
• ToeffecfUBjl / redress those grievance * , the committee , in co-operation with the masters , declare their intention of endeavouring to obtain their objects by a legislative enactment , earnestly soliciting tho assistance of all who are desirous of ameliorating tho condition of their fellow men 'Committae-room , Western Coffee-house , Drury-lano ; Geobge Read , Sec , '

Frightful Murder Atbirm^Gham Of Four V C...
FRIGHTFUL MURDER ATBiRM ^ GHAM OF FOUR V CHILDREN Bt THEIR " 1 MOTHER , AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF THE , LATTER , One of , the most dreadful murders which has ever taken place in this country was committed in Chcnpside , Birmingham , on Saturday mat , under the following dr . cumstances : —It appeared that shout six months ago a widow , named Ann YTilkog , opened a small shop in Cheapslde , for the « alo of cigars and small wares . She was a person of very agreeable manners , about forty years of ago , and had evidently , In the early part of her life , moved in a respectable sphere . When bor husb & ud ^— . . . . I c v ( \ , ,
died * he was Trft with four children , three boys nud a girl . On Satwrday it was remarked by the neighbours that the shutters were not taken down , as usual , in the mocniug . A MrEdwards , llvingclose by , feeling uneasy at thlB clreamstan . ee , determined , about II o ' clock , to ascertain the cause . Having procured a ladder , he placed 1 t against the window of the first floor , which was unfastened , and entered the room . He found no person there , but being urged by the crowd outside to proceed further into the bouse , he did so and advanced a few-steps up a narrow staircase , at the top of which he beheld a horrifying sl ^ ht . Mrs Wilkes was lying in a peeVof blood , and at her tide lay her eldest child , both of their throats cut from ear to ear . On looking ' ] 1 . . " !
farther Into the room he discovered by a glimmering light ( for the room was darkened ) the bodies of the tlitee other children , weltering in their blood , TerrL ¦ ficd at the eight , he rah to the window , ' and cried out , My God J they ' are all murdered ! A police constable , who was passing at the time , mounted the ladder , ' and got into the room to the assistance of Mr Edwards . Both proceeded to the ' spot where Mrs Wilkes lay , and discovered that she was breathing . They immediately turned their attention to her , raised her up , and with tho assistance of Mr Archer , surgeon , of Digbeth , bandaged the wound . After recovering a little she made many attempts to take off the bandage , but was prevented from doing so , and in a short time was removed of a car to the Queen ' s Hospital . Dr Sands Cor , dean
in the faculty , was Immediately sent for , and within ten minutes time was in attendance upon tho unfortunate woman , and bound up the wound with all possible speed . It was found that the injuries which she had sustained were of a very serious character , and although none of the principal arteries had been cut , yet the windpipe was divided In such a manner as to leave It exceedingly doubtful whether the unfortunate woman will recover . After she had been in tho hospital a few hours , sho appeared to be quite conscious , and evidently in much agony . Daring tho time the wound was being dressed she seemed Inclined , to speak , but all attempts to do so were unavailing . Unhappily it was found that
the life of the four children was totally ^ extinct . Their names are—John . Henry Wilkes , aged 12 ; Mary Jane Wilkes , aged 8 ; Willi am Charles Wilkes , aged 6 ; and Frederick George Wilkes , aged 4 . Information was 1 m . mediately forwarded to the police , and Mr Superinten . dent Stevens proceeded to the spot , and placed constables la possession of the house , at the same time taking the precaution to place a padlock upon the door leading to the apartment in which the awful crime was perpetrated . In the room where the murdered family were found two razors were discovered , apparently new . No reason can be assigned at present forthe commission of the deed ;
On Monday afternoon an inquest was commenced before J . B . Davies , Esq ., on the bodies of the four children who were murdered on Saturday last by tbelr . mother . After the jury bad been sworn , thpy proceeded with the coroner to the house where the awful affair took place , to view the bodies , which , as may be supposed , presented a frightful spectacle . One of the children , a fine boy , about twelve years of age , was seen with his head upon a chair at the side of the bed , and his body under the clothes , his throat cat from ear to ear , and in the posture in which the murder was committed .
The second child wasljing on its face on the bed , as if turned over after his throat was cut ; and the third boy was lying in the same bed on bis left side , a little in . cllned . The youngest child of all , was lying on tho floor as if in a praying attitude , on its knees , having , it would seem , been placed \ so by tho unfortunate mother befote committing the horrid deed . On a . table in the room below stairs was a Bible open , and also was found on the chimney-piece the tragedy of 'Hamlet , Prince of Denmark , ' the following extract from which was uppermost : —
1 And flights of angrels sing thee to thy rest , Gire order that these bodies , High on a stage , be placed to the view , And let me speak to the yet unknown world How these things came about ; , Bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage , For he was likely , had he been put on , . To have proved most royally , and for his passage The soldiers ' music and the rites of war Speak loudly for him . Take up the b idles , such a sight as this Becomes the field , but here shows much amUs , ' ( A dead march . ) . The following witnesses ware examined : — George Hodgson said ; I live in Pershore . street , I do not carry on any business . I was formerly a surgeon . The woman , who it is said murdered the children , has gone by the name of Ann Wilkes , but I think her real name is Green . The father of deceased children was
Henry Wilkes , and was brother to my wife . I once went to her relative to a little property , which was to be disposed of , and asked her what was her real name , when she told me , with tears in her eyes , that she was not married , and her name was Ann Green , ¦ . — Banks said : I know the four children . The eldest was named John Henry , the second eldest Mary Jane Maria , the third William Charles , and the fourth Frederick George . I believe that the woman , was married , and her name was Wilkes . Margaret Fisher examined , said : I reside in Exeter .
row . I saw the children about half . past six o ' clock on Friday night last , at the house of their mother , in Cheapside . They were all playing round the fire , and seemed in good health ; I had . no particular conversation with the mother , nor did I observe anything unusual in her manner or in the appearance . of the place . Ourprincl . ' pal conversation was respecting the growth of tho . chll . dfen . Before I left the deceased all went to bed , and the mother took the candio , and followed them up the stah-s with it , but she returned in a minute or two after . There was no other person in the house at the time , Mrs Wilkes did not appear excited in the least .
By the Foreman : Did she complain of poverty {—Witness : No . By a Juror : Had you any drink with the mother while you were there ?—Witness : No . Mr Hodgson recalled . —By a Juror : How long ago ia it since you made inquiries of the mother , about her marriage?—Witness : About three months ago . William Edwards examined—said : I lire at No 8 , In Cheapside , About half-past twelve o ' clock , on Friday last , the neighbourhood was very much alarmed , in consequence of Mrs Wilkes ' s shatters not being down . I resolved to see what was the matter . I went to the front of the house and saw that the blinds of both bed room windows were down . The down-stair shutters were not open . I tried the cellar-window and found it was fast .
and then looked Into the key-hole and saw that the key was in the . lock ., Some person told me that she had left the previous night , and I opened one of the shutters and saw . in the window cigars and pipes . I then got a ladder and raised it up against the window , which I threw up and got in , I saw nothing worth remark in the room ; everything seemed right , and I was returning , butthe people outside told me to ' go further into the house . I did so , and went up . stairs and when within two itcpi of the top I saw the poor creature lying , on the floor , in a pool of blood , and the youngest child by her side , I ran down instantly , and told the people outside the house what I had seen , A police constable was passing at . ( he time , and he ascended the ladder , and wo both wont up to the room where the bodies were lying . The mother was
lying on the floor , as also was her youngest child . The three other children were lying on a bed , which was covered with blood . After we had been in the room a abort time we heard the woman breathe , and I at once turned my attention to her . She bad a great gash across her throat , and her body and the clothes round her wire covered with blood . I perceived that she was alive , but she was cold and faint . I raised her a little , and she began to tear at her throat , but I prevented her from doing . so , Mr Archer , surgeon , was immediately sent for , and was quickly in the room , and he tied a handkerchief round the woman ' s throat , which the police officer had previously applied . A car was then procured , and she was conveyed to the Queen ' s Hospital . She
did not speak when on the road to the hospital . There was no bock way to tho house , I do not think any person got into the house . The cellar window I found quite secure , but , as I have said before , the first bedroom window was unfastened . When in the top room I saw two razors lying between the baby ' s bead and the mother ' s right hand . There was a double mor-case lying near them , Here the razors were produced , when witness said these are the razors . They appeared to be nearly new . One was lying on the floor quite open , the other was nearly shut . There was nothing disturbed in the room . Frcm the state In which I saw the bed , I should think she had laid the cltthei gently aside and got out .
By a . Juror—What clothing had she on when you first saw her ? Witness , —She had on a nightcap , a nightgown , a pair of black stockings , and a red necklace round her neck . Edmund Welling , police oenstsble , said : about halfpast twelve o ' clock I was on duty in Cheapslde , when I saw a great crowd of people outside 6 t Mrs Wilkes ' s house , and a ladder reared against the window , when I saw Edwards come to the window and eiola ' m they are all murdered . ' I went up the ladder and into the room , th » top room , where I saw Mrs Wilkes lying on her
right side and a child close by her . In another part of the room I saw the three other children , and found them quitedead , cold , and stiff . They all had . their throats cut . After the lapse of a few minutes I heard Mrs Wilkes breathe , and I Immediately procured a piece of cloth and tied it round her neck . I then sent for Mr Arch « r , the surgeon , and before he came the had made many attempts to take off the bandage , , 1 do not think any person had entered the home during the night or that any person was in the house at the time I etu tered except , Mr Edwards , Mrs Wilkes , and the four children .
The witness Banks , having been recalled , said that he had seen the woman , Wilkes , almost every day during we latt five months , wi Ui kuowa all about few dr .

alj bat rather than go through what thought she should put an end to herself and «»<»»> leSLd her not to think of such a thing upon which , e r pKat she bad more than once thought it was better thatshe ' shouldputan end tc , them all than submit to destitution . He ( witness ) did n , t ^ mention _ those expressions to anyone , because he did not think she had nerve enough to kill a cat , much Jess to k . 1 herself and her children . He was not aware that she had onco made a personal application to the parish authorities for rel ' ef : nor that her mind was affected , save ,-that on several occasions during illness she b « d been delirious . In reply to questions by the jury , the witness further said that he was not aware whether any man had been paving attention' to Mrs Wilkes lately : and that after her husband ' s death she received about £ 20 from Odd
Fellows' lodges / - Mrs Jane Green , the mother of the unfortunate woman , was next called , but the feeble state in which she was almost incapacitated her from giving her evidence . She stated that she was a widow , residing in Newhall-street : thaton Wednesday se ' ohlght she went to the workhouse and saw the assistant overseer : she . represehted to him that her daughter was ill , and that she wished toputher children into the asylum . He gave her a card to toke to the relieving erncer , to whom witness went on the following morning , having previously obtained a letter from her master , Mr Rowley , a button manufacturer . The relieving officer promised to call upon her daughter the following Satnrday ! but sho did not know whether he did to . She had reason to believe , however , that her daughter had not received any relief from the parish . She had been labouring under an internal disease for three years .
Thomas Rutherford , tho relieving ofHcer , deposed that he called on Ann Wilkes on the 15 th inst . Saw her , and told his business , enquiring what was the nature of her application . She replied that she wanted the whole of her children to be taken into the asylum , in order th . it she might go to service . She claimed it on the ground of her husband ' s birth , settlement , and apprenticeship . To this he ( witness ) replied . ' Why yours is no ordinary application , Mrs Wilkes . Could you not manage if the guardians took two or three' of the children , and left one
or two with you ? ' Sho rejoined that she could not ; andhe ( witness ) then told her that the board met at three o ' clock the following Wednesday , and that he was sure the guardians would do what they could for her , She did not , however , attend , and the officer added that thejury would find , on reference to the parish books , that the application was dnly entered , and that the name of Ann Wilkes was ticked off as not attending . In reply to a question by a juror , the witness said that at bis in > terview with Mrs Wilkes be asked her if she wanted anything more of biro , and she replied she did not .
The witness - Green , baring been recalled , stated that she had frequently assisted her daughter in consequence of her distress , and that on the Saturday night bifore this act was committed she sent her a sovereign , having pledged her own things in order to do so , Mr W . S , Cox , professer of anatomy in Queen ' s Co ' , lege , next gave a detailed statement of the nature of the wounds inflicted upon the children , and upon the person of the woman herself . She had been removed to the hospital , and tho wound closed up , but she was still in a critical state and scarcely able to speak . The wounds on the children might have been inflicted by one person , and wore ; of such a character , that they would be speedily fatal . In reply to questions as to the state of the prisoner ' s mind tho witness said that she was calm and placid , and that she replied to the pimple questions which he put to her coherently .
: The Rev J G . Miller , rector of St Martin's , Birmingham , said : I have had a conversation with Ann Wilkes since she entered in Queen ' s Hospital . Nothing occurred between us which could lead me to suppose that she was convinced she would die , that she was devoid of all hope in this world . The coroner thereon said : Then it is beyond all doubt that I cannot hear you' . Mr Miller replied that he wished it to be understood that he bad called at the hespltal in consequence of a message ha received to the effect that the woman wished to see a clergyman and make a confession . He accordingly attended , and he could not say that she was apprehensive of immediate death .
The coroner having repeated bis determination not to hear the statement the rev ; gentleman had received , briefly summed up the evidence , and at eleven at night the jury returned a verdict of « Wilful Murder' against Ann Wilkes , who was accordingl y committed for trial at the next Warwick assizes .
Coilisiox Os The Mbrsr?.—On Sunday Night...
CoiLisiox os the Mbrsr ? . —On Sunday night last , a strong north-west breeze caused an extraordinary swell upon the Mersey , and fears were excited for the safety of the numerous vessels lying at anchorage , detained by adverse winds , from proceeding on their outward voyage . The Patrick Henry , one of the Now York line-of-packet ships , was lying at anchor off the Prince ' s pier , with another American ship , the Brooklyn , belonging to Boston , aitetn , when , from tho violence of the wind , which early on Monday morning , had increased to a tempest , the former vessel dragged her anchors and came in contact with the Brooklyn , carrying away her bowsprit and mainstay . From the force of the collision the Brooklyn sustained considerable injury , her bowsprit being completely torn away , and her stern mnch crushed and mutilated . Early on Monday rxiomine one of
the Steam-tug Company ' s vessels was called to her assistance ; and , steaming against the wind , the stress which bore upon the Brooklyn ' s cables was much diminished , tho fears entertained for the safety of the vessel ' s masts from the loss of the mainstay were alleviated , bringing her , ultimately , in a position of safety . The Council of the Royal Manchester Institution have announced their intention of opening an evening exhibition of tho works of modern artists , the charge for admission to which is fixed at twopence . A rich farmer in Denmark , who for a trifling wager held up a red handkerchief and stopped a railway train on the Copenhagen and Rothschild Railway , has been sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment and hard labour .

Rochdale , was summoned , on the information of the sub-inspector of factories , on a charge ot neglecting to box off an
unngbt shaft in bis mill , by which means a girl named Cathrall , seven years of age , had been seriously injured . Mr Leonard Horner , inspector of factoties was present to watch tho proceedings . Mr Bower ' surgeon , who had visited the girl , said that her left arm had been torn off near the shoulder joint . He had also found two flesh wounds on other parts . It appeared that , on the 11 th inst ., the girl went into the mill with her parent ' s tea , and when there her clothing was caught by the upright shaft . The child ' s mother said her daughter had no business in the factory , and , as Mr Wilson had promised to see to her , she hoped the bench would be lenient with turn . Mr Horner said nothing could repay the child for the low of bor arm , and the shaft might have been boxed off for a few shillings . Whatever the bench thought fit to fine the defendant for his ne ? .
leot that fine should be given to the injured girl when she reached twenty-one years of age , at least he would write to the Secretary of State recommending that it should be so . MrChadwiok , magistrate , said it was the worst case that had occurred in that neighbourhood , and if another as bad came before him he would convict in the highest penalty , £ 100 , As it appeared that Mr Wilson had only just commenced business , he should mitigate the penalty to £ 10 with all expenses .

IIolmbd Park Footway . —At a public meeting held at Clark ' s Rooms , 114 , Edgeware-road , on Monday evening , October 18 th , convened by the secretary of the West London Anti-Enclosure Assoeia . tion . On the motion of Mr II . D . Griffiths , seconded by Mr E . Stallwood , Mr W . S . Hanson was called to the chair . The following resolution was proposed , but not being seconded , it was not put to the vote : That the coaductof the Board « f Surveyors of Keniing . ton , in urging Lord Holland to deprive the public cl « footpath , and promising him their cordial snpport ia such act , ii disgraceful in the extreme , more especisllj since , by virtue of their office , they are bound to protect the public footways . The following motion was'then made by MrH ; D . Griffiths , seconded by Mr Humfries : —
, That a committee be appointed to oppose Lord Hoi . land in his attempt to divert the present footwaym Hoi . land-park ' , even to appealing against the justices' deci . sinn , should such steps become necessary . Which was lost by a large majority . . The following resolution was then passed , only three hands b ing raised against it : — Proposed by Mr Edmund Stallwood , of Little Vale . place , Ilammersmitb-road , seconded by Mr Mills , of the West London Anti-Enclosure Assoeia . tion : —
That this meeting , the majority of whose members are well acquainted with the ( Holland . park footpaths , is d ( . cidedly of opinion that the one offered as a direraion from the old one by Lord Holland is far superior . and infinitely more popular , presenting as it does , the advantage oi forming a direct line from the road leading from Batter , sea Bridge to the high road at Kottlng Hill , at the samj time affording a better view of Holland-bouse , and has the advantage of lying between an avenue of trees of at least half a century ' s growth , rendering it at once plea *
sant and picturesque , whilst the approaches thereto hove been widened , the fences lowered , and othermsj improved , and the whole legally secured to the public forever ; this meeting therefore truet that . the Court of Session will be pleased to allow the diversion of the said footpath as asfced by lord Holland , And this meeting cannot separate without tendering its most corditl thanks to Lord Holland for the great liberality he su evinced ia treating with the people's officers in toil matter .
It was then moved bv Mr Edmund Stallwood . seconded by Mr Joseph Marsh , of Holland-place , Kensington , and carried unanimously : — That a copy of the foregoing resolution be forwarded to the chairman of the Quarter Sessions , and another to Lord Holland . On the motion of Mr Poulton , of Kensington , seconded by Mr II . D . Griffiths :-That a vote of thanhs be awarded to the chairman for his impartial conduct as president of this meeting . Mr Fonblanque , for many years connected with the weekly press , has been appointed to the office ia tho Statistical Department of the Board ef Trade ,. vacant by the promotion of Mr Porter to the place formerly filled by Mr Leferre . | MrFonblanqtie was editor of the Examiner , which has lOr many years been a mere Whig hack .

Reclaiming Wastb Land . —The traveller from Looe , proceeding to the westward , must have had brought under his notice the last season the Iuxdriouscrops of corn in small allotments on eack side of the West Looe new road . The history of these allotments is interesting , as showing how , by judicious management , spots which have long Iain waste may be reclaimed , and turned to a profitable account . About thirty years ago some parties in West Looe , who were acquainted with the nature of the soil oi the large common or waste belonging to the inhabitants , which was turned to little purpose , conceived the idea that if the land were to be divided into small parts , to be rented at a fair valuation and the
rents to be applied to the poor rates , a great advantage would result , as sand and manure were to be had in tho immediate vicinity . For some time there was much opposition offered to the scheme by thotf who were contented with things as they remained , but by perseverance the consent of influential parties was secured , and from that time to the present , excellent crops have grown , on what was before s profitless waste . The common was granted to the inhabitants in the reien of Queen Elizabeth . A contrast to what in tho West Looe case may be termed a judicious application of the soil , is seen at Golan , on the Fowey river . A large common of about forty aores , belonging to the poor of Golant , is exclusively appropriated toiho growth of ferns , and as a run for a few animals ; no further improvement has been
attempted , and land of excellent quality , with a few exceptions , lies dormant . If a division were to be agreed on by the poor , and a rent paid by theffl to the assistance of the rates , all parties would gain ^ the arrangement . The difficulty has hitherto befl > in failing to persuade the villagers the land was not to be taken away when any improvement was attempted . An arrangement similar to the West Looe case would be attended with benefit . Suchs hne common being suffered for so long a period to remain uncultivated , has called forth the surprise oi many persons who have passed through it . If influential parties in the neighbourhood , who bad the welfare of the poor at heart , would interest them > selves in the case , aqreatatep towards a real benefit would be made—Plymouth Journal .

The defendant refused to refund the money , arid plaintiff then showed the judge the ticket warranting it was solid . The defendant resisted the claim on the ground that it was the custom of tho trade to ticket articles in that
way , and , in proof of his assertion , referred to tie principal jewellers in London . It could not be sapposed thattheseal was solid . had it been so , UstM " would be £ 5 . The judge said the question wa »; whether the plaintiff had been misled . A pe «?" walking along the street , and seeing the article w the window with the ticket on it , would suppose » solid gold .
