      _ArDouall . The letter I hand ' yon . to precede this , if deemed necessary . / Tne Doctor _degired me to send the sum of £ 10 to Cobbett . I did so on March 21 th . "Whether Cobbett - "threwaway the money needlessly" or not , is not for me to say , yet I have never been satisfied -with his mode of doing business , as he never yet thought proper to send me a recei pt for the monev . which wonld have cost little . M'Douall . The letter I hand * _vnn to-orecede this .

      A short time ago , tbe Doctor wrote me to send another £ 10 to Cobbett . I refused to do so until the former was acknowledged . I took this course in order that the money of working men might not be uselessly expended ; and I am now glad I thus acted , as the remaining £ 10 is still available . I wish Mr . Cobbett to explain how . the £ 10 he _receiTedhas been expended .. It was public money , -and it is fair that its appropriation should be pub--lidy explained . TheDoctor says It will never be accounted for , I hope Mr . C . wiU strengthen his faith , and give the subscribers satisfaction : Yours truly , _Wn-. T _. _Tt-u- "Rides .

      The proceedings of the " Commons ' - on Tuesday eve , more than justified those of you who ( disdaining to _aclcnowledge that House ) _refased topetition in hehalf of Mi-.

Probably most of these worthy legislators were in the House before the precise moment ol voting I can imagine that those who refused to listen to the supporters of the motion , took their seats to give their applauding shouts to Lord John Russel-oV andcry " hear , hear , "'in response to his miserable quibbles , and heartless perversions of the truth ; but they were not in the House to listen + _^ + * , „ „™ _nimmitR advanced m support of the _actot

Indeed , I believe that but for the fact ofthe great party sham-fight got up . by p ' _ls-UEty the night previous , and which -was adjourned to Tuesday evening Mr . O'Cosxor would have been * *•¦ * counted out . " The two hundred and twenty-two were hanging about the lobbies of the House , expecting to _witness a renewal ofthe grandset-tobetween "Buckin < rham Ben" and the " Bedford Pet ; ' they were not there to discuss the Charter ; they had made up their minds to vote against the . motion , even before Mr . O'Coskob rose from his seat . Though _^ an aneelfrom Heaven , or one raised from the dead , had been there instead of Mr . O'Connor to advocate your cause , the two hur . dred and twenty-two would not have been persuaded to admit the justness of vonr claims . ¦ .. "

      _ ... Honourto whom honouris due ! Mr . HCiiE—tnougn the acknowledged leader of the moderate section of Eeformers—both spoke and voted for Mr . _OKjOS _kor ' s motion .

      "Let me call your attention to a curious laci : no list ot the majority has appeared in the daily papers ; By ffivinff only the names ofthe minority , and withholding , those of the majority , a double course of knavery is accomplished . On the one hand , those who , like Hetworth , Lcshixotox , Npcext , Ta . vc-ied , and _Walmsmt , have voted forthe Charter , are by the publication of their names , held . up to the m-will ofthe anti-Chartist portion of their respective constituencies . On the . other hand , by withholding the list of the majority , the working classes are left in doubt as to whether certain loudmouthed " friends" of theirs voted in opposition to at _„ n'ffn- _^ _-AR ' s motion , or were merely absent .

      NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TEADES _., . TO THE EDITOK OF THE KOKTnEBW . STAR . Sm , —As an appropriate corollary upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer ' s _floiu-lshing exaggeration as to the improved condition of the working classes , consequent upon the Free Trade legislation of the present ministry , I beg to-forward you an extract from last "Wednesday ' s "Manchester Guardian , " as to the condition of the Counterpane Weavers of Bolton . The Counterpane "Weavers . —Notwithstanding the fact that the manufacture of counterpanes is confined to Bolton andthe neighbourhood , the trade has been depressed for some time to a great degree , and wages have sunk so low that weavers , with iamilifis . even when in work , can scarcely earn

      sufficient for subsistence . Under tms state oi tilings , some of their body called a meeting , in the open air , on Monday , to take into consideration the propriety of ceasing to work altogether at that trade unless better wages could be obtained . About 250 weavers were present , and the meeting was adjourned to the Crown Inn , where the subject wasdiscussed , and a majority decided that it would be best to cease work , as they could not live by what they earned . . It was stated , that in two years wages had been reduced to the extent of 7 s . in the pound ; and that now a man could not earn more than 4 s . Cd . from a hard week ' s work . After this meeting , however , better councils prevailed ; and upon the weavers being waited upon , and then * opinions deliberately taken , their decision was , that , bad as the trade is . they must work to support their

      families . It will strike many of your readers as being singular why this particular department of -manufacture should he so deplorably paid , seeing that the causes usually assigned for low wages are in this case absent . The manufacture of counterpanes is confined to Bolton and neighbourhood . There is , •* therefore ,. - neither the competition of machinery , nor that of foreign nations , or of other towns to contend against

      but the sole cause of these men being so miserably paid , arises ; from their want of ., union .. Two years ago , * an intelligent member was lamenting to the writer the gradual decadence of this trade from the causes I have . assigned , at the same time . assuring me that the men , if united , might command any amount of wages they chose to ask . I will just state one fact which li-iay perhaps meet the eye of some of these men through your valuable columns .

      There is in the neighbourhood ot _JLSolton , a body of Twist Bleachers , who , fromthe fact of it heing known that they belong to the National Association of United Trades , are receiving from 3 s . Gd . to 5 s . per week higher wages than is paid to any other men of tlie same trade in the locality . Surely , Mr . Editor , facts like these must eventuall y arouse the dormant faculties of the apathetic , and beat down the ; prejudices of those who would obstruct the progress of : so useful an institution . I am , sir , yours respectfully , William Peel * Sec .

      Metropolitan Parliamentary And Financial...

      METROPOLITAN PARLIAMENTARY AND FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION . . A public meeting of this association took place last night at the Princess ' s Theatre , which ' was filled to overflowingon the occasion . •¦ -. § Sir Joshua Walmsley , M . P ., presided , and __ m opening the proceedings congratulated the meeting on the presence of somany of the fair sex , and gallantly predicted the success of a cause to which they lent their countenance . In the course ofhis address he referred to the triumph which the citizens of London had achieved for the cause of civil and relin _' _niic _lihfii-hv . He then launched out into an

      exposition of the various political principles advocated Dy the association , asserting , especially , with reference to the state of our representative system , that it was in the hands of one fifth of'tlie bopulation , and tbat the other four-fifths were reduced to a state of moral slavery thereby . The first resolution was moved by-Mr . J . A . Nicliolay , who recommended a union with the Chartists , on the principle that they should take all they could screw out of a reluctant legislature . He also expressed his opinion that we could do very well without an army , since we permitted France to attack Rome , and Austria and Russia to overwhelm the brave Hungarians .

      Mr . Hume was the next speaker , andcommencett by . say ing that the meeting reminded him of former assemblages inthe parish of Marylebone , when not only 4 , 000 and 5 , 000 , but 20 , 000 people met peaceably together ' to agitate ' for reform , and he predicted a similar successful result for the association to that which crowned the efforts made seventeen or eighteen years ago .

P ., said this was the first time he had ever addressed a middle-class meeting . Without abandoning a _single principle that , he had advocated for a quarter of a" century , he : sought to allay any antagonism which might tend to continue the predominance ofthe aristocratic class . ( Cheers . ) He was the more induced to this course from the conviction of the sincerity of Mr . Hume , and other leaders of this movement , who had supported his motion in the House the preceding night . ( Hear . ) ¦ He would never be branded with stopping the working classes from obtaining their rights , and would consent to . accept them in instalments ; but he was convinced that until the wlmle of the Charter was tion . ' He _-was'followed W J ; Williams . M . P ..

      obtained , financial reform would be a bag of moonshine . ( Hear , hear .. ) He was satisfied his character was dear to the working classes ; and he knew that he should not lose the \ v confidence by " tlie course he now pursued ;; While the association " pursued the course it had marked out he should offer it no opposition ; hei hoped the working classes would offer none ; but till the labour question was solved , and the industrious artisan could live _Comfortably by the sweat of his brow , the condition of the country would never be satisfactory . Every man , except those who read the Times , ; whose only object was to inislead' _-reveryireader of the Daily AW which _c-ntained the

      best compilation of intelligence , ' both foreign and domestic—knew that this was the question which was now stirring the whole of Europe ; and , until the feudal system was broken down , the working classes would never obtain their full rights . In alluding to the debate of the preceding night , 'and the course taken by Lord John Russell , the hon . gentleman observed that bis lordship was the smallest man both in mind and body that he had ever seen for nothing .

      THE LAND MOYEMENT . On _* Monday evening a public meeting of tho inhabitants of St . Pancras was held in the new vestryrooms , King ' s-road , Camden Town , for the purpose of aiding tlie freehold land movement for the obtaining freeholds and votes in the home counties , under the auspices of the St . Pancras Freehold Land Association . . ., / Mr . J . Williams , M . P ., ' occupied the chair , and at least from 1 , 000 to 1 , 500 persons were assembled , On the platform were observed Lord Dudley Stuart , M . P . for the borough ; Mr . W . Williams , late M . P . for Coventry ; Mr . Taylor , from Birmingham , who had attended to explain the operation of the movement in the midland counties ; James

      Clark , Esq . ; VV . DyKe , . Esq . ; . ** _* . _fctocmon , _Jtssg ., and a large number of the leading and influential men of this great district . Mr . W . Williams moved the first . resolution , to the effect that divisions upon all popular _questiens in the House of Commons prove that the people , have no hope in its present state ,. while Marylebone , Finsbury , _Lambethi' Tower Hamlets , Manchester , and Glasgow , with nearly two millions of inhabitants , are completely neutralised by Thotford , Harwich , Ripon , Chichester , Cricklade , and Chippenham . The unenfranchised , however , in large towns having the power in their own hands ' , if they liked to use' it—let them at once join these Freehold Laud Societies , and prove by their endeavour to obtain the privilege of voting for a representative thev deserve to possess it .

      Lord Dudley _Siuaut , M . P ., dwelt at some lengtn on tho advantages which . ho conceived must result from such a movement , * and some allusions made by him to the motion : of Mr . Hume , as opposed to Mr . Disraeli , and the contest for the city of London in favour of Baton Rothschild , elicited the warmest plaudits . The City contest was not merely a question : of civil and religious liberty , but one whether the House of Peers should or should not dictate to an enlightened constituency who should ' represent them . He expressed a hope that all the liberal electors of Marylebone who had votes for the City , would accompany him ( the noble lord ) , to the poll at _oicrbt . _nVlnclr on TnnaAnv -mni'nin . n * . and record thorn

      for Baron Rothschild . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The noble lord concluded by suggesting that the operations of the association should be extended to the borough of Marylebone . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Dyke moved thc second resolution , expressive Of an opinion that freehold land societies were the simplest and most efficient means of extending the suffrage and breaking down class legislation and political exclusiveness , whilst they promote the social happiness and enhance the domestic comfort of the working classes . This resolution was also carried mem . con ., and other gentlemen having addressed the meeting , several hundred members were enrolled * and thc _mrpfinfi * terminated at a late hour . ' '

Applicant was desirous of having the magistrate's opinion as to what she should do witli the child , as she had no home of her own , and was in the greatest distress . —Mr . Broughton , from the replies which she made to several questions put by him , was inclined to imagine that sho and the other female had acted in concert , in order , that the parish might be burdened with the child ' s maintenance . —The applicant was directed to take the infant to the workhouse , and make known to the relieving officer the way in _rohinli ii-. nnirifi into her _nossession .

He was also allowed to receive money of persons from whom he got orders . The course of business was , that he should enter all monies received in the course ofthe day , and account for thcm ' af night .

      This'court Met On Monday By Adjournment ...

      This ' Court met on Monday by adjournment from _, the last session . . There are only ninety-one -prisoners for trial . The Common Sergeant having charged the grand jury , proceeded to try prisoners . Assault on a Lunatic— -James Clift , a porter at the West London Union , surrendered to take , trial upon the charge of assaulting a lunatic in ' tho workhouse of that union . —The defendant pleaded " Guilty . "—It appeared that a person named Evans was found in a coftee-house in a state of raving madness , and was removed to the workhouse of the West London TJnion _. where he was so exccedingly violent that it became necessary to put a strait waistcoat upon him , and strap him down , and there was a violent _strusrirle between hini and the prisoner

      and some other persons before this could be eiiected . When , however , the unfortunate man had been secured , it appeared that the prisoner struck him with a rope and also smacked his face , and although there was no doubt that he was at the time excited by the struggle and could not control his temper , yet the commissioners felt that his conduct was unjustifiable , and that he had no right to inflict personal violence upon any unfortunate person in such a condition , and had , therefore , considered it their duty to prefer this indictment as a caution to others . The defendant was discharged upoh _. his entering , into a recognisance of £ 100 to appear and receive sentence if he should have notice to that oflfonf .

      Tuesday , July a . The ( Satirist Newspaper . —Sarah Mills , who was indicted , with a person , named * Hansen , for conspiracy in endeavouring to extort money from a gentleman , named Bevan , by a threat to publish libellous matter concerning him in the Satirist newspaper , was placed at the bar to plead . ' There was an indictment against the same parties for felony , arising out of the same transaction . — -Mr . Parry , who appeared for Hansell , applied to have his trial postponed until the next session , on the ground that _ht- wns in such a had state of health that it would

      endanger his life if he were to take his trial , at this time . —Mr . Ballantine , who appeared for the prosecution , said he believed the statement of the condition of the defendant Hansell was quite correct ; and therefore he could not oppose the application . —Tlie defendant Mills pleaded " Guilty " . to the indictment for misdemeanour , and ¦' jS ot Guilty" to the charge of felony . — The Common Serjeant , in pissing sentence , said that he thought the defendant had been very well advised , and had acted most properly in pleading " Guilty , " . as the only atonement in her power . She was sentenced to be imprisoned for six months , without hard labour .

      Embezzlement . —J .. Ross , 40 , was indicted lor feloniously embezzling three several sums of £ 1714 s . 8 d ., £ 10 , and £ 13 lis . 0 d ., the monies of his employer , Soesman Abrahams . —Mr Ballantine prosecuted , and Mi ' . Robinson , defended the pri soner . —The prosecutor in this case carries on the business of a wholesale grocer in Eastcheap , and it appeared that the prisoner was his principal clerk , that he had the chief management of the business , receiving a salary of £ 3 per week . Itwas clearly proved that the prisoner had received the sums named in the indictment : from different customers , and that he never accounted for them , but it appeared that when he was taken into custody he justified his proceeding , and declared that he was a _nai-liinr of the _m-nsocutor . This , however , was

      positively denied by Mr . Abrahams , who asserted distinctly that the prisoner never "stood in any other position in his establishment than a servant . —The fury found , the prisoner " Guilty , " but recommended him to mercy on account of his previous character . —The prosecutor said he had discovered defalcations in the prisoner ' s accounts to the extent of £ 300 . Por the sake of his wife and family , however , he was desirous to join in the merciful recommendation ofthe juvy . —rhe prisoner was sentenced to be kept to hard labour for nine months . Bigamy . —Charles W . Bingham , aged 23 , a tailor , was indicted for feloniously intermarrying with Abiah Hocker , his lawful wife then being alive . It _anneared that the prisoner married his first wife

      in the June of 1 S 40 , at St . Dunstan _' s , and resiueu wiflihis father-in-law , a tailor , residing iu the parish , and remained until the following September , when he left the house and deserted his wife , and on the lGtli of April , in the present year , he married Abiah Hocker , at the parish church of Wliitechapel . —The * prisoner , in his defence , said that his first wife was such an abandoned character that he could not live with her . —The jury found the prisoner " Guilty . "—Tho prisoner ' s father-in-law said that the aspersions cast on the character ofhis daughter were entirely without foundation . She had been living with him since the . prisoner deserted her . — Mr . Bullock ordered the prisoner to be transported far seven vears .

      Cutting and Wounding . —Robert Brown , w , _was indictodfor feloniously cutting and-wounding George Weeks , with intent to do him grievous bodily harm . —The prosecutor , it appeared , was a boy about the same age ' as the prisoner , and on the day named m the indictment they , and several other boys ,-were out together in the fields at play , when a dispute took place between them , and the prisoner suddenly drew a knife from his pocket and stabbed . the prosecutor with it iu the breast . —The jury found the prisoner "Guilty . "—The Common Sergeant . said the court really did not know what sentence ' to pass m such' a case . The crime of stabbing appeared to bo very much on the increase ; and if boys liko the prisoner ' were to take upon themselves to resort to it , it was high time that somo steps should be taken to put a Stop to such proceedings . At present he should respite the judgment until next session , in the interval lie would consider what sentence _ousht to be passed upon the prisoner .

At 3 30 p . m ., being on the weather side oi * the poop deck , hoard a rumbling to windward like distant thunder ; turned my ear to windward , and my eye to the horizon . The man at tho _wheel-noticingthat I was listening , looked to windward , and cried out , " Sail , ho ! " I at once saw what I supposed was a sliip-about one point forward of our beam , about 400 yards distant . I ordered the holm „„ _tiiinU-inn- ; f she did not discover us that ; we

      should have _time . to clear her belore she could come into contact ., All hands shouted at tke same time to alarm the ship , and I ordered : the bell to . be rung , and called to the ship to "port her helm , " as I saw that ( was the only chance , . of escape ., Thero was nearly one hundred , passengers on deck at the time . All was of no use ,: for in one minute from the time we saw the ship . she was upon us , going at the rate of twelve _knotSj striking us abreast of the after main shrouds .

      Murder At Enfield. On Sunday Afternoon T...

      MURDER AT ENFIELD . On Sunday afternoon the usually quiet village of Enfield was thrown into a state of excitement , in consequence of a report that a murder had been committed at Chase Lodge , on the borders of Enficld-chase , now inthe occupation of a gentleman named Buller , a solicitor , ofthe _fii-moHJullcr and Smart , of the Temple . On making inquiries , it was found tliat the butler in the service of Mr . Buller had heen . stabbed to the heart by his wifo in a paroxysm of jealousy . It appears that the unfortunate ' man , whose name is John Cork , had been in the service of Mr . Buller , as footman and butler , for the last two years .- He was a married man and had one child six months old . At the time of his entering the service of Mr . Buller he represented himself to be a sinirle man . while his wife

      was living at 20 , _jNapier-street , City-terrace , utyroad . She had never visited him at his situation ; but he was in thc habit of communicating with her by letter . She was extremely jealous of hiin , and had been the cause of his losing several good situations ; but since the birth of their child she had behaved better towards him , nnd appeared to have recovered from her fits of jealousy . On Friday last he wrote a letter to her couched ' in the most affectionate terms , and stated that he was very glad to hear that she had got rid of those delusions , which were the cause of so much unhappiness , and begged of her , for the sake of the dear child ; not to embitter their future happiness by entertaining such unfounded fears of his inconstancy . Ho also stated in his letter , in answer to an application for more

      money , that he was _unaole to send her a lurtner sum as his wages were not due , and that he was quite certain that she had not expended the last £ 8 , which she had received only a short time since . He posted this letter on the afternoon of the same day , * and he did not receive any answer to it , but on Sunday afternoon he was surprised by his wife appearing at his master ' s houso , with her child in her arms _, ne had just finished his dinner , and he asked her into the house . After conversing together for some time in the pantry , and caressing the child , he went up stairs and called the nurse maid , who was the only servant in the house ( tho remainder of the domestics having gone to church ) , to come and see his child . Hc returned to the pantry , and in about five minntne _nftm-wards the nurse maid , _in-passin" ; from

      the kitchen into the pantry , saw tne . turner i _> ing upon the ground near the door . She immediately exclaimed to the wife , who was standing by his side , intently looking at him , " Is John in a fit ? " Thc wife re p lied in a loud voice , "No , it is something worse than that—I have done it . " The nuvse-maid became alarmed at the strange and peculiar appearance of the wife , and on looking at the prostrated man she perceived blood on the front of his shirt . She instantly ran out of the house and raised an alarm , and when several of the neighbours entered the house they , found the . wife standing in the same place where thc nurse-maid had left her , still lookin" * at her husband , who appeared lifeless . Sergeant Collins , of the N division , arrived soon nrtnrmvda and immediatelv sent a messenger for

      a surgeon , whose son instantly attended , and . lounu the butler in a dying state . . The surgeon opened his waistcoat and shirt , and discovered a deep inciscdi wound on the left side , immediately over tho heart . The wound , which was in a slanting direction , was about an inch ' and a half in length . On searching the pantry a sharp pointed dessrt knife was found lying in the . sink , stained with blood , and onbein" shown to the surgeon he at oneo said : t corresponded with , the wound . The unfortunate man expired in a few minutes , after ths arrival of _thesur-reon . The wife remained in thc pantry motionless all this time , and made no effort to escape . After the body was placed on a bed , and thc surgeon had given opinion that the deceased eould not have _inflieio . 1 such a wound himself . Sergeant Collms
