Association _**> f _TJsited _Tkabes _ron the Psotectios of IsDrsTBr . —Vfe have this week received a copy of the " Draft of a Plan for a General Union of Trades , " and the plan ofa _"Cnited Trades Assodafion for the Employment of Surplus Labour in Agriculture and Manufactures f "both prepared by the Central Committee appointed at the late " National Trades Conference , " and intended to be submitted to the forthcoming Conference , which will assemble in London on the last Monday of the present month . Receiving this document at the end of the week , when our columns were ahcady _pre-occu-mc-d , it is not possible for ns to do more ttis week than give the following notice , to
which we direct the serious and immediate attention of the Trades : — Xiihe . — "Whereas the late _National Trades' Conference , held in London , on Monday , 24 th of March last , resolved that another Conference , to take into _' _consideration certain plans of organisation , should be held on the last Monday of July : — This is togire Notice to all parties interested in the proceedings of the said Conference , that the Meeting will , in accordance with the said resolution , be held at the Likraby axo SciESTinc IssTmrrios , John-street , _Fita-or-sqoare _, on Monday , July 28 , 1845 . The Central Conunittee will attend at ten o ' clock in the morning to -receive the credentials of delegates , and to famish them with tickets of admission ; and the
sit--sags of the Conference will commence at three o ' clock , Ton ., T . S . Duneomtw , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . The "T rades are requested to forward Ihe names and number _sf their delfc **« tes to the Secretary , as early as _convenient previous to the day of assembling the Confer-« cce . By order of the Central Committee , T . Ba * - _svtt , Secretary . —30 , _Ifydc-street , Blooomshury . _tfT orUE 5 Sl 0 E 0 ' rH * PlCTCSE- * P * J , "J . B . O'B . " IX TOE _ai *» s of "Winuil CAXrESTSS . —i 2 . st week ( he reader ? *> f she Star enjoyed a good hearty guffaw at the _pic-(• _- <• of Mr . Vf . Carpenter , drawn snd painted for tliem , t _? his "fHend' * and late " co-partner , '' "J . B . O'B . f aa _« l we are sure they would deem tu to have acted with gross unfairness were we to withhold "t ' otherside , " or -Jut _I'k-t'ire which the painted one haa painted of the
painter . « they laughed heartily at the first , they will nut find less cause for a few cachinations in the _Srcond _* . The two friends seem to know each otherseem to be able to reduce their respective features and _j-.-culiarities to the canvas : and very pretty pictures hiey make" ! Tou would not be able to match them , search all vonr _National Galleries through , and _J ' OUr _pr _' _raie exhibitions as well . Where _COOld yOU hOpt ) to £ nd their like , for ease and freedom of drawing ! And as for _coJour , the deepest lamp-black ofa Sir Thomas Lawrence was moonlight grey compared to the mixture _jwd hy our artists . Then there is the" iiUiiig-in" and the " general effect "—perfectly unmatched and nnmatchable . Bo look at them , remembering that they aw _oft-sch other by "friends" and " co-partners . " Here
is W . C . ' 3 " effort ; " the " subject '' "being "J . B . O'B . *" — " We had not seen the paper , and had we seen it , we should , in aH probability , not havo read it We have _reason to believe that it contains little more than a * -r ;« -ti * ion of the old saws npon * Land , Currency , and 'Exchange , '' the meaning of which it would puzzle * Ui [ _Pos himself to discover . "What O'B . may say apinst us , creates no anxiety ; where is the man who tis served him—and many men have served him—• _jiira he has not abused , after they have cast him . off , & they all-ha * -e been obliged to do , some from one case , some from another ! IDLENESS , ILL _TEMKR , and OVER-REACIIErt _? , are qualities that soon rate themselves manifest , and destroy any sympathy esc may have had , upon an imperfect _knovdeflse , for
- ± e man in whom such qualities exist "We had aa desire to speak npon this subject , and only tins advert to it , in consequence of its being forced npon ns . If O'B . has said such - "things 45 sou allege , he "knows them to be false , and _fiii-tin furnishes another proof « f his ingratitude towaids one who never did him harm , but who saved him owl his , for many weeks , from absolute starvation . But let that pass . We repeat , that what either he or O'C . mar sty , is to us a matter of perfect indifference . We obi refer to a puttie career of eighteen years , during which M sun can point out aay deviation from the straight line _q ' _princyte . We never set ourselves np as fire-eaters , an 3 are not , therefore , now liable to reproach * because we do not play the part of one . Wc were never noisy
_vrajgarts OXtt of prison , HO * _WHEJISG COIMKOS WBBS n * . We nerer bullied and defied the Government , and incited people , sinarting under poverty and other wrongs to acts of violence , and then deserted them , when , actin ; at our instigation , they foolishly exposed themselves to iigal punishment . On the contrary , we always sternly set our fece against menacing aud violence , and _coadenined the course of those who indulged in the tne , and excited people to the other . Instead of having tceu mixed ap with the men with whom , it seams that 0 * 15 . has associated us , it is notorious , and stands _rec-irJed in the columns of the newspaper of the time , tlm we , npon several occasions , openly and formally _ceaouueed them , when O'B . aud O'C . meanly sneaked ont « f the way , in order to avoid committing themselves
w ! h either party . There was , at the time , a newspaper _uiiicli O'B . was in the habit of eulogising as the most honest and talented paper of the movement— -we mean , the True Scotsman ; and that paper , in a lengthy ar-* Me , thos spoke of the person whom the disappointed tol mortified O'B . maligns , as having been at once "fa * _iguificant and mischievous : — ' He is essentially one of the _Directors of the Convention . He is one of the great minds which can calmly , and withont passion ; take a comprehensive view of the different conflicting interests and feelings called up in a great national convulsion ; and he is most able , unmoved and quietly , to "paint the finger of guidance to all the vast machinery hy which the changes are effected . * * * He is no Paiikau , and speaks his mind id a most independent _nwnntr . » * Bis nn _,- _| _-mimitv * manners keep him
a good deal out of light in tha Convention , bat lie is one of those men on whom great dependence maybe laid . When the storm comes , he will he a steady pilot . ' With such -anoougbt testimony as this , and an _Mswe-rring pnblic career of eighteen years to refer to one is not very likely to be moved by anything that can hi uttered by such men as O'Connor or O'Brien . ''—Of " ¦ _ou rse , every one who sees the above will feiow that Carpenter has not seen the portrait of himstlf , painted h his _"fi-iend . " That fact " stands out apparent in _ttery < IA of the above . Let no one whisper to the _contfary : forifMr .

we in not intend to call in question the GREAT MIND whieh could calmly * and unmoredly GUIDE the vast machinery ef _»* -utio * ml coxvdxmo . v , we may be permitted to ask whertthe PILOT was when he teas wanted ? / Was he at the helm , guiding , " calmly and quietly , " the vessel through the storm ? Was the "dependence " had in him well -placed t "Wa . 3 lie at his post 1 Let him not continually whine out : " We never bcllikd and defied the Government ; or incited people to acts of violence , and theu deserted them , when , acting on our 'instigation , ' they foolishly exposed themselves to legal punishment . " Let him not do tins ; for the contrary is the fact , as wa happen to K . vow . The only opportunity that we had of attending . the "debates" of the farfamed Convention of which " our steady pilot" was e « . seutially one of the "Directors , " was on the occasion in
Birnungkam , when WiUiam Lovett moved his " moral force " rusolution , pledging the people to befcsb pathest or ail bests , Kates , AND taxes — "because , " said he , "it was necessary that the people should proclaim aud make _OPEX WAR on the Government ]" which said "bullying" and "defying" resolution was strenuously _sdfpobted by W . Carpenter in the teeth of Mr . O'Connor ' s efforts to save tha people frem being committed into the hands of the legal authorities by such a lawless and insane " act of violence . " 0 , well do we remember VwJt day , and the "doings" and " sayings" of the respective parties in the convention . Unutterable disgust filled the miud at the shameless efforts of William Carpenter and company , to produce a national _convulsion through " acts of _violence , " embroiling the people with * fho
authorities , and rendering fbcm liable to l « gal punishmeut ; efforts only defeated by those who had been held up aud denounced by these same " guiders of the machinery to effect change , " as inciters to "physical force : " a disgust not lessened at hearing "J . B . O'B ., " for tivomortal hours enumerate _circumstancesfludfacts which pointed to the inevitable conclusion that both William Lovett and WiUiam Carpenter wese is the fat of the Govebshe . nt to get the " honest men " of the Convention into trouble and danger . This ho did to Mr . O'Connor , at that gentleman ' s hotel and used every art and casuistry of which he is so rare a master , to induce Mr . O'Connor to denounce them as spies and traitors . ' —a thing wluch " J . B . O'B . " did not venture to do himself openly . But of course it was time courage to try to get your " friend " into a position which
you dare uot yourself assume : a point which , at the time seemed to strike Ilr . O'Connor ' s mind ; for he very significantly bid "J . B . O'B , " de his own work , if he wanted it done : for , for himself , while he had no proof that the parties named were actiug the part of traitors or spies , he should coutent himself with endeavouring to counteract and avert the evil consequences likely to arise from their violent and mad proceedings . William Carpenter is not entitled to say that " he always sternly set . his face against mesace aud violence , and condemned the course of those who indulged ia the one and ex _** ited to the other . " He did not always so act . He did not do so on the occasion we have referred to ; nor did he do so , when he was concerned with the drawing up and publishing of the AddKss from the Arundel Coffee-house ; a document
which Mr . "J . B . 0 'B . " says' _* _J * _CTUALLVBEcomiU _* _NDED _IVsorbectio !* . " The " cheat juso " of " the essential Director of the Convention " ftdtl therefore something to do in planning and endeavouring to bring about "XATIOXAL CONVULSION "—in raising tlte storm whichfle tells us UE was so well able to "PILOT " through : and we think , seeing that tbis was tbe case , we are entitled to ask again wliere titc PILOT was when tlic storm did come ? True it is , lie was not at his post ' . The cause of tliat absence we shall not speculate on . We shall not even offer an opinion as to whether Mr . " J . B . O'B . " has hit on i _^ when he says it was "corruptibility : " for we are quite content to leave that question iu the hands of the two parties to the _discussioi , noting down only the / aef * they tell of each other . We expect that shortly there will be a pretty hulget . We fancy that we have not heard the last of IDLENESS , m-tet , xper , and OVER-REACHING . " A saint
could not stand that ; much less a "thin-skinned " bundle of _SELF-i-lii & _u . ' John Smw , Tower _Dulccts—The trick is too flimsy to deceive any one . The people are too wide-awake , either to be deceived by the miserable concoctions of Hill or Carpenter , whether signed "WiUiam Wish-Imay-get-it , " or " An Independent English Chartist . " The object aimed at by these worthies will not be attained . The meant they have employed will alone ensure their defeat . It is too late hi-the day to bring to bear the _fvars and _suspicions of the working class against those who have served them—and that too without fee or reward . They have learned to discriminate—to know their friends from those who make lond pretensions . The result will prove that they will repose confidence in the . first , and laugh the latter out of the field . Meantime , we are about to let tbe people know something of the two worthies that interest themselves so much in their welfare . James Hill did lire
at " WUheach ; he was a public man thare ; he had dealings with a public society ; he tried some scheme or other "for National Regeneration" in his own way , and on his own account ; he failed ; he went into the bankrupt list ; and now he is abroad on the world , compelled to " pick up a living" US he best can . Ws shall try to get the material to fill in this general outline , that James Hill" may be known of men . " As for Wm . Carpenter , he has appealed to the eighteen years 6 his public life . We purpose going tteoughthem wittif liim . We intend to "begin at the "beginning , " and follow hiin closely down . We intend to know all about
his various _whebeabouts , ana his different and PECULIAR and very costbamctobt occupations , from writer of relig ious works down tothe keeper of a —— . Ko matter what just now . We intend to know all about his connection with the Trades' Unions , and a _rasssbought with their money : in short , we intend to trace him through all thc tortuous windings and twistings of tbe eighteen years he has appealed to , that we may know Wm too as he really is , and be able to judge of his fitness to give advice to anybody en anything .

Wheeler sent ns word to look out and send every
Information in our power respecting some allotments we hare going on in oar neighbourhood . I will state to _joa what we know on the subject . Tho _ownur ofthe land is John Spencer Stanhope , Esq ., a magistrate , living at Cannon Hall , near Cawthorne , two miles _frmn where we reside . He had a farm , which the farmers one after another left , because they could notmaka it do . He ( the landlord ) let it oat in allotments , to poor men , of from a quarter of an acre to two acres each , about two years ago . A few fHends accompanie-l me tO 866 it , and SUCh crops of wheat , beans , and potatoes we never saw before , considering the disadvantages the poor men laboured under when they first took the land . The allotments are cultivated bythe spade , _withths exception of one , which ha 3 been ploughed , but this one is like " a horse-chesnnt to a chesnut horse . " The
owner has let six acres more this year at a rental of £ 2 5 s . an acre , and had them well drained , and I assure you the land looks far better than any one could have reasonably expected , taking into account its previous state and appearance , anditis confidently expected that the crop will ' yield eighteen loads of wheat , at three bmhels to the load , which will be fifty-four bushels , or six quarters and six bushels . Near the same place there is nearly an acre of garden allotments , which look very well . One old man who has an allotment , npon which wheat and other food is gremng , told us before he had it he worked on the road for a shilling per day , but sinco he got possession of the bit of land he gave up the job , as he could do well without it . Hc further said that tno acres of land , properly cultivated , would maintain himself and family ( ha has a cow ) , anddeclar * d
he was Itappyaiid comfortable . AU the men npon those allotments appeared to he well pleased with their condition , and Mr . Stanhope , I am informati / _intiihds letting six acres more next year . _You and the Board of Directors may make what use * you think proper of this letter , and I remain , yours truly , a Land Chartist _ftnaSu"b-Secr" 3 Ury , ' ' ' .

Minslacghtek Sear Liscoln. —The Quiet Vi...
MiNSLACGHTEK sear LiscoLN . —The quiet village of _Skellingthorp , three miles from Lincoln , has been disturbed by an act of outrage , in which one man lias lost his life by the violence of another . It appears that on Tuesday week a quarrel ensued between two men in the service of Mr . Healand , farmer , ol that village . William Graham , more commonlv called Grimes , a labouring man , complained that the waggoner , William Parkes , had been saying something prejudicial to his character . Grimes endeavoured to force his way into the stable , which was resisted by Parkes , who struck Grimes with his fist ; Grimes then seized up a hoe , and with it struck Parkes on thc head , levelline him to the around :
Grimes walked away , leaving his opp onent senseless on the stable floor . More than an hour afterwards he was found lying in the stable in a state of insensibility ; hc was taken into the house , and Mr . _Hcwson , surgeon , of Lincoln , was sent for , who found that _Parkes ' s scull was fractured ; that gentleman was at once aware the case was hopeless , and directed Grimc 3 to be taken into custody . Parkes lingered until Thursday evening , and then expired . During periods of sensibility he stated to Mr . Healand , his master , that he had struck the first blow . Grimes , who had been committed to Lincoln Castle for safe custody , was on Friday brought before Mr . John Bromhead , the sitting magistrate , at the Judges ' house , Lincoln , and there , in his defence , he declared that hewas not aware when he struck Parkes in
selfdefence , that he had inflicted so severe an injury >' he thought it hadonly been the shaft of the hoe that had " napped" him , and he was not aware that hc was senseless when he left him . After thc case had been investigated , the magistrate conld come to no other conclusion than that of at once recommitting tiie prisoner to the Castle , to take his trial on thc charge of " wilful murder" at the approaching assizes . An inquest had also been summoned to be held at Skillingthorp _, the result of which had not transpired . M . uisL . u * enTKR . —An adjourned inquest was held on Monday , by Mr . Wakley , M . P ., atthe Royal _Froe Hospital , _Gray's-inn-road , on thc body of George Chalk , aged thirteen , the son of Charles Chalk , a brickmaker , who was aliened to have caused his
death by violence . From tho evidence of a female named _Sparkes , it appeared that on the Cth day of last month she was in some brick fields at Kentish Town , when she saw the deceased's father strike him with his doubled fiat upon the right shoulder , and knock him down ; while on the ground she also saw him kick and jump upon him . On the 22 nd he died , and on a post-mortem examination a large abscess was found on the right side of thc stomach , which Mr . Cooke _saidwas th e result of blows . The accused denied kicking and jumping on deceased , but admitted striking him on his refusing to fetch some sand . After a patient investigation tho jury returned a verdict ol Manslaughter against Charles Chalk , the father , who was fully committed to Newgate on the coroner ' s warrant .

ThevesselhadjustarrivedfromHolland with a cargo of butter , cheese , and other goods , and seven beer casks , which were directed to "Brewer's Wharf , to be left till called for , " and were about to be landed as empty casks , in the usual manner , when the rerenue officer , Kii _* gem . in , took off the head of one ofthe casks , and it appeared at the first glance to be quite empty , but on a closer inspection he found the barrel was lined with a tin case ofthe same shape
as the barrel , and between that and the barrel itself the cigars and cheroots were concealed . He then opened the other barrels , and found them lined with tin in the same manner , and a similar quantity of cigars and cheroots in each . He seined the casks and their contents , and rolled them to the Queen ' s _warehouse , atthe samo time giving information to the Board of Customs , who ordered the vessel to be put under seizure also for the present . Each barrel contained about 30 lbs . of cigars and cheroots . They are ofthe best quality , and the duty upon them alone is £ 90 . Of course no person has come forward to own the casks or their contents .
Shocking Case of _Sblf-pestruciion . —Last week a novel act of suicide occurred on the North Midland Railway , near Leeds . As the seven o'clock Sowerby Bridge train approached the bridge over the raUway at Hunslet , the stoker observed a man throw himself down across the rails , and before he had time to give notice ofthe circumstance to the engine-driver , the whole train had passed over the poor fellow's body , which was afterwards picked up in a dreadfully mutilated state , and identified as that of John Sutcliffe , warehouseman , a married man residing at North Town-end , Leeds . The head , the right leg , and the l eft arm were entirely severed from the rest of the body . The train was proceeding at the regular speed . It the time . It is supposed that the man , contemplating suicide , had sot over the wall of the bridge , and havins descended the railway embankment , had
hid himself behind an abutment , iu order that he might not be seen until it was too late to stop the train . This seems very probable from the fact , that had he been on the line any length of time he would have been seen at the spot where the melancholy oocurrence took place 200 or 300 yards off , in ample time for-the engine to have been stopped . The event can scarcely be considered the result jof an accident , as no one can go on this part of the line without committing a trespass . Deceased has left a wife and seven children . A woman attempted suicide by the same means only a few days ago , but was rescued by the nlate-layew on the line . The coroner's _jnry found a verdict to the effect " That the deceased destroyed himself whilst labouring under temporary insanity . " Thejury also acquitted theengine driver and all the other _servante of the railway company from any blame .

Medical assistance was procured , and leeches were ordered , four _n ? which TOYe applied to the v _* o \ m > J . In a short time three only of them could be seen , but it was supposed that the fourth had fallen off , and had got away . The deceased waa the following day conveyed to the hospital . The wound and arm soon began to swell in a
most unaccountable manner , when Mr . horster , the house surgeon , observed there was a slight discharge of matter _oouing from the orifice . He deemed it prudent , in consequence , to open the arm , when , to his great surprise , hefound the missing leech inclosed in the flesh , aud quite dead . Thc leech must have crawled into the orifice of a very small wound in the arm , and it could not be seen . After the leech had been extracted from the arm , deceased went on very well for a week , when symptoms of inflammation of the veins ensued , which terminated with death . It is the opinion of the medical attendant that he has died from the effects of the wound having been poisoned by the long presence ofthe leech within it .
