      France. Ths Pasfls V. Tbe Pbiesis.—The J...

      FRANCE . Ths _Pasfls v . tbe _Pbiesis . —The Journal des Dtbats eontaihs a pastoral letter of Cardinal de la Too t _dliarergne , Bishop of Arras , in which he prohibits the reading , or even the possession , of the Mumd de Droit _Eceleriostique ( the work in which M . Dnpin defends the liberties of the Gallican Church against the party termed " Ultramontane" ) . On the preceding day the latter learned gentleman , at a meeting of the Academy of Moral and Political Science , took occasion to refer to the dispute between "himself and the clergy , " in whieh he described with firmness" ( says the Steele ) "the real principles on which the Gallican doctrinra rest , and demonstrated that the Concordat ( o f 1 S 01 ) had given a new sanction to tiie old maxims of the Church wliich had at all times been miuntained hy the French clergv . M . Cousin acquiesced in the statements of M . Dupin , and the entire Academy appeared to approve the sentiments of both . " "

      SPAIN . _Madbtd , March 17 . —This day the Chamber of Deputies passed the bill for restoring the unsold church property to the clergy , by a majority of 126 " against 16 . The Minister of Justice and the President of thc Council repeated , in the course of the debate , their former declaration , that "the rights of fhe owners of national property wereguaranteed by the laws ; " that " theyhad consequentl y no cause for alarm , " and that _**** the restitution of the Unsold property was indispensable to carry out the negotiations with the Holy See . " It was reported that the Government had received satisfactory intelligence from Rome , and that a nuncio would be shortly accredited to the Spanish court . The Government despatched , on the 18 th , an extraordinary courier to announce to thc Pontifical Government the adoption ofthe Devolution Bill by thc Chamber of Deputies . It was believed that the Chambers would not again be convoked before the 29 th or 30 th inst .

      GERMANY . The _Wxsdertsg Jew . _—Fbaskfom , March 22 . — The _frankfurter Journal of this day contains thc following communication from its correspondent at Mulheim _, on the Rhine : — " March 18 th . — The whole of this neighbourhood is in a state of excitement in consequence ofthe reported appearance here of the _Wandering Jew ! A day or two ago a singularly dressed man , of mysterious manners , arrived here , whom the ignorant classes—already excited by the religious movement ofthe day— " _u-nagined to bethe above traditionary personage . It was discovered , however , at last that he was ori ginally a peasant from this ¦ vicinity , who had been to Rome and the Holy Land , and who had entered into an Eastern monastic order , which he was attempting to extend here . He has not met with any success in his new mission . "

      MONTE VIDEO AND BEUNOS AYRES . Litebpool , Tuesdat . —Accounts were received yeetenlay from Buenos Ayres to the 16 th January , which is three weeks later than thc date of the previous letters . The intelligence ia of considerable importance to British commerce , and shows the necessity of rendering the proposed intervention as prompt as possible . The Buenos Ayrean Government has declared a total blockade of the port of Monte "Video against the shi ps of all nations , in the p lace of the partial blockade which has existed for some time as relates to vessels _carrvina provisions

      and munitions of war . Nothing , therefore , is now left for the English , French , and Brazilian Governments but to decide whether they will allow the conimercc of their respective countries to be altogether shut out from thc north bank of the River Plate , or will put an end to this ruinous struggle at once . "What renders this decision the more necessary is , that the Buenos Ayrean Government has issued another decree forbidding all communication with Corrientes , Paraguay , and , in fact , with the whole interior of South America , untilvrhat is called *** legal order" ( that is the tyranny of Rosas ) is re-established in Corrientes .

      UNITED STATES . The _Axsexatio-s of Texas Bill passes bv the Sesate . —The packetship Indiana has arrived , bringing us important intelligence from New York , dated tiie 1 st inst . The joint resolutions annexing Texas io the American Union , as carried in the House of Representatives , have passed the Senate . There are some important amendments made in the bill , and which the American papers represent as doing away with ihe decisiveness of the action ; but this is all . The effect ofthe amendments , which , on the embodying ofthe views of Mr . Benton ' s ML leave it discretionary with the President to carry out the annexation or not , can be only to stave off the ijuestion during a period to be employed in negotiating and arranging details with the Texan Government . The

      joint resolutions of annexation passed the Senate by a majority of only two , the vote Mng twenty-seven in favour of annexation , and twenty-five against . The amendment to the bill of immediate and unqualified annexation was afterwards proposed hy Mr . Walker . It appends to the bill the resolutions o : Mr . Benton . This was also carried by a vote o ! twentv-3 eveniotwentv--fiTe . It is stated that the Mexican Minister at " Washington , Almonte , has xnaAf _^ all jipj _** _-airy arrangements for his return to Mexico . lie is said to be only waiting for President Tyler to sign the Texan annexation resolutions ,, and te make the usual proclamation , which will soon br done , to demand hispass }) orts awl make his protest , and to retire and break up all official relations with tin overnmenZ of the United States .

      THE INAUGURATION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT . The ceremony of Inauguration is thus described : — " Congress adjourned on Monday morning , at _halfpait two o ' clock . The heavens then were somewhat overcast , and many were the fervent desires sent upwards for a fine day on which to consummate thc action ofthe people atthe polls , by the imiuguration of James K . Polk , thc People ' s President . At an eavlv hour , Pennsylvania Avenue was thronged -with * pedestrians , and carriages and vehiclc of all sorts . There was a continual stream of life

      pouring along the side-walks towards the Capitol , and for one who wished to go towards the President ' s mansion , atthe other extremity ofthe avenue , there was no resource left hut to take the road , for it wove as easy to swim against the current of thc mighty , turbid , and swollen waters of the _Hdississippi , as to stem the living "tide of souls which bore its way to thc CapitoL Every age , sex , and condition were represented , but conspicuous auove aft were to lie seen those whose air , dress , and manner , told at once thev-were from the country—the farmers , the bone and sinew of the country .

      - About half-past ten a . m . we made our way to Coleman ' s , where the President _wasstaying . In a few minutes a general clearing out ofthe haU announced something about to happen , and on going outside , Io ! there was h ' s Excellency President Tyler , in his carriage . Such pushing , and squeezing , and crowding , the people might never have seen John Ty ler before . He got out of his carriage , and went into thc hotel to seo President Polk . The mflitary then began to arrive in front of thc hotel , with drum 3 beating , trmnpefa blowing , colours flying , and "bayonets fixed , and taking up their position in front , they formed in line , and awaited the President ' s appearance , his Carriage having just drawn up to the door . The footpath in front of Coleman ' s , and on thc opposite side of the Avenue , was blocked up with human _twings ; -while every available spot wasoccm > icd in the neig hbourhood . The boys climbed up into the trees which skirt the side walk , and the ladies ( sweet creatures' ) occupied the windows .

      The marshals had great difficulty in keeping clear a sufficient space for tho military , iu consequence of fhe pressure ofthe crowd , whose democratic feelings would not suffer thom to see the necessit y of keeping the middle of the road in front of the hotel quite clear of persons , when they wanted to see the President whom they had helped to elect . The roof of the carriage was , however , opened , notwithstanding the rain ( which was not very heavy ) , and Mr . Polk shortlv made lus appearance , accompanied hy Mr . Tvler . and both got into the _carriage . Some hearty

      cheers wore { riven onliis appearance . The Chief Marshal and his aids werc bedizened with the usual quantity of silks and ribbons in the way of scarfs and rosettes , and for batons of office each was urovided with a piece of young hickory about two leet long . The "military were well represented . There werc several fine companies , and all in excellent order , and apparentl y well drilled . Their appearance gave -anivereal satisfaction , and attracted thc greatest share of attention next to President Polk .

      The _clersy turned out welL There were about twenty of thai profession , and the different denominations were well represented . The President came next , looking well , though thin and anxious in appearance , with President Tyler in the same carriage . _Ex-Presiclenfe—none . Tyler ' s Cabinet—Wickliffe and Wilkins . Supreme Court—none . Diplomatic Corps- —none . Then came the members and cx-members of Congress , of whom there was a goodly number , headed hy Shepherd Carev , of Maine , and long John Wentworfh , ¦ _m Illinois , who stands the head and shoulders taller than his fellow members of the House of Representatives .

      Officers of the _Armv , Nary , Marin © Corps , and Militia , we did not _seeat all , except those belonging to and with the military in the procession . Then came the Empire Club , or rather the banner - with fhe few accompanying members and the band , aid the piece of oidnance aforesaid ; and the balance f the _pnKsessionp » -h apsnumDer _^ 4 _Moi _* 500 pe " certainly notmore . To one who has been accustomed to witness the displays which are made in processions in New Tork -when anything of importance calls for one , this was _certa"fly small potatoes , and fully exemplifies the superioritv ofthe arrangements , and means , and _ ap-Jhanees ofthe Whigs in matters of this kind . What , _ow ever , was lacking in the appearance ofthe proces-

      France. Ths Pasfls V. Tbe Pbiesis.—The J...

      companied it ; and here was the superiority of the democrats demonstrated . Crowds upon crowds , thousands upon thousands , accompanied the procession , and thronged especially about the part where the _ President ' s carriage was to be seen ; and every available window on the line of route , the porticoes , balconies , galleries , and foot-paths , were crowded to the utmost extent of their capacity to accommodate . Fair faces and sweet smiles were to be seen at every window , and every gallery or balcony , their owners all seeking to have a view of the new President ; and accompanying thc line ofthe procession , and often inconveniently interfering with it , _wAsacloud of { not exactly 'light' horsemen , nor yet heavy dragoons , but ) tho yeomanry , who did such excellentservice by their

      votes in the late political contest , mounted on their votes in the late political contest , mounted on their steeds ( not exactly fiery or graceful , hut certainl y steady and useful ) , probably taken from the plough or waggon , to enable their riders to see Colonel Polk , the democratic President . These volunteer guards , for in such a capacity they seemed to act , completely environed the President ' s carriage , and it was with difficulty the marshals could keep them from breaking the line of procession . On the outskirts of the procession , too , were to he found every variety of vehicle , from the pretentious private carriage , to the hack and the country waggon and buggy , with loads of children with bright eyes , rosy , healthy looking cheeks , and laughing lips , enjoying _aUthefun _tkev could make , and stretching their precious necks to catch a sight of the President , whom their anxious

      mamas and papas were pointing out to them with great and laudable assiduity . In this order the procession reached the west gates of the Capitol grounds , where the President and those accompanying him left their carriages , and thc precession , with the members of Congress and others who were entitled to admission into the Capitol , and proceeded through the grounds to the Capitol ; and ou the procession coming in sight of tho Capitol grounds , there was a new scene for wonder , for every conceivable foot of space on tho elevated terraces of those grounds , where a spectator could have a chance of seeing the procession and the President and suite , was crowded to suffocation . It was literally black with the swarms of people—here and there relieved by the bright dress of the democratic ladv , who was

      not afraid ot either the falling rain or the thronging crowd , but was determined to sec and be seen . The remainder of the procession , consisting of the military , the clubs , and the citizens , pursued the route up the Capitol-hill , leading outside the grounds , and having made a detour , entered in at thc eastern entrance of the grounds , and marched up in front of the Capitol , and there formed a line ; while the whole space in front ofthe Capitol was crowded with the vast mixed multitude which had preceded and accompanied the procession , and even the grounds beyond were swarming with the overflowing and redundant population . At length the two Presidents , aeiual and elect , entered the Capitol , and took their seats below the Clerk ' s table , and with their faces towards the audience , and then , after a brief pause , the order of arrangements was read aloud , the parties falling into then * places as they were respectively named , and the

      whole mass left the Senate Chamber and proceeded to the eastern portico . Here a temporary stage liad heen erected , as at tho inauguration of President Harrison , over the great flight of steps ; and , from the front of this , the President elect read to as many of the vast mass -which filled the space in front as could hear him , the address . He read it ia a firm tone of voice , with the air of a man profoundly impressed by it himself , and desirous to impress it upon others . The delivery of the inaugural address being concluded , the oath of office was administered to the 1 ' _1-esidenthy thc Chief Justice of the United States , and the new President was saluted by loud cheers from the surrounding multitude . The procession was then again formftd , and escorted the President to the Presidential mansion , where , in the course of the afternoon , he received the congratulations of a large number of his fellowcitizens . "

      THE MESSAGE . The following are the principal points ofthe President ' s inaugural address * . — Fellow Citizens , —Without solicitation on my part , I '• are been chosen by the free and voluntary suffrages ot my countrymen to the most honourable and most responsible office on earth . I am deeply impressed with gratitude for the _confidence reposed in me . Honoured with lliis _distinguisihed consideration at an earlier period of Hi * e than any of my predecessors , I cannot disguise the diffidence with which I am about to enter on the discharge oi my official duties . The President then invokes the aid of the " Almighty Ruler ofthe Universe" to direct him in + hc path of duty , and to enable him to fulfil his sacred obligation , to " preserve , protect , and defend" the constitution ofthe United States .

      THE FEDEEAI . AND STATB GOVERNMENTS . To the states respectively , or to the people , have been . _-saerved "the powers not delegated to the United States by the constitution , nor prohibited by it to the states . " Each state is a complete sovereignty within the sphere of its reserved powers . The Government of the Union , acting within the sphere of its delegated authority , is also a complete sovereignty . While the general Government should abstain from the exercise of authority not clearly delegated to it , the states should be equally careful that in the maintenance of their rights they do not overstep the limits of powers reserved to them . One of the most distinguished of my predecessors attached deserved importance to "the support of the State Governments in all their rights , as the most competent administration for our domestic concerns , and the surest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies - " and to the " preservation ot the general Government in its whole constitutional vigour as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad . "

      Thismo 3 t admirable and wisest system of _well-rcgulated self-government among men ever devised by human minds has been tested hy its successful operation for more than half a century , and , if preserved from the usurpations of the federal Government on the one hand , and the exercise by the states of powers not reserved to them on the other , will , I fervently hope and believe , endure for ages to come , and dispense the blessings of civil and religious liberty to distant generations . To effect objects so dear to every patriot , I shall devote myself with anxious solicitude . ******* One great object of the constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities , or encroaching upon their just rights . Minorities have a right to appeal to thc constitution , as a shield against such oppression .

      TUE VETO . That the blessings of liberty which our constitution secures may be enjoyed alike by minorities and majorities , the Executive has been wisely invested with a qualified veto upon the acts of the Legislature . It is a negative power , and is conservative in its character . It arrests for the time hasty , inconsiderate , or unconstitutional legislation ; invites reconsideration , and transfers questions at issue between the legislative and executive departments to the tribunal of the people . Like all other powers , it is subject to be abused . When judiciously and properly exercised the constitution itself may be saved from infraction , and the rights of ill preserved and protected .

      PBOGBES 5 OF THS . UNION . The inestimable value of our federal union isfolt and acknowledged by all . B y this system of united and confederated states our people are permitted , collectively and individually , to seek tlieir own happiness in their own way : and the consequences have been most auspicious . Since the union was formed the number ofthe states has increased from thirteen to twenty-eight ; two of these have taken their position as members ofthe confederacy within the last week . Our population has increased from 3 , 000 , 000 to 20 , 000 , 800 . Kew communities and states are seeking protection under its aegis , and multitudes from the old world are flocking to our shores to participate in its blessings ; beneath its benign sway peace and

      prosperity prevail . Freed from the burthens and miseries of war , our trade aud intercourse have extended throughout the world . Mind , no longer tasked in devising means to accomplish or resist schemes of ambition , usurpation , or conquest , is devoting itself to man ' s true interests , in developing his faculties and powers , and the capacity of nature to minister to his enjoyments . Genius is free to announce its inventions and discoveries ; and the hand is free to accomplish whatever the head conceives , not incompatible with the rights of a fellow-being . All distinctions of birth or of rank have heen abolished . AU citizens , whether native or adopted , are placed upon terms of precise equality . All are entitled to equal rights and equal protection . "So union exists between church and state , and perfect freedom of opinion is guaranteed to all

      sects and creeds

      THE ABOLITIONISTS . Itis a _s-turce of deep regret that in some sections of our country misguided persons have occasionally indulged in schemes and agitations , whose object is tho destruction of domestic institutions existing in other sections—institutions which existed at the adoption of the constitution , and were recognised and protected by it . All must see that if it were possible for thom to be successful in attaining their object , the dissolution ofthe Union , and the consequent destruction of our happy form of Government , must speedily follow .

      BANKS AND DEBTS . With these views of the nature , character , and _otjects ofthe Government , and the value of the Union , I shall

      France. Ths Pasfls V. Tbe Pbiesis.—The J...

      _steadil- / oppose the creation of those institutions and systems wliich , in their nature , tend to pervert it' _-frou its legitimate purposes , and make it the instrument o ; sections , classes , and individuals . We need no nationa banks , or other extraneous institutions , planted aroum the Government to control or strengthenjt in _oppositior to the will of its authors . Experience has taught us how unnecessary they are as auxiliaries of the public author * _, ties , how impotent for good , and bow powerful for mis chief . Ours was intended to bo a plain and frugal govern _, ment , and I shall regard it to be my duty to recommend to Congress , and , as far as the Executive Is concerned , to enforce , by all the means within my power , the strictest economy in the expenditure of the public money which may be compatible with the public interests .

      A national debt has become almost an institution of European monarchies . It is viewed , in some of them , as an essential prop to existing governments . Melancholy is the condition of that people whose government can be sustained only by a system which periodically transfers large amounts from tbe labour of the many to the coffers of the few . Such a system is imcompatible with the end for which our republican government was instituted . Under a wise policy , the debts contracted in our revolution , and during the war of 1812 , have been happily extinguished . By a judicious application of the revenues not required for other necessary purpose *) , it is not doubud that the debt which has grown out of the circumstances of the last few years may be speedily paid . ' _.,.. . - _.-.-: V " * STATE DEBTS . . -r ; _-j _, ...

      _„ I congratulate-my fellow-citizens oa the entire ' restoration ofthe credit of the general Government of the Union and that of many of tbe states . Happy would it be for indebted states if they were freed from their liabilities , many of which were incautiously contracted . Although the Government of the Union is neither in a legal nor a moral sense bound for the debt ofthe states , and it would be a violation of our compact of union to assume them , y « t we cannot but feet a deep interest in seeing all the states meet their public liabilities , and pay oft * their just debts , at the earliest practicable period . That they will do so as soon as it can be done without imposing too heavy burdens on tlieir citizens , there is uo reason to doubt . The sound , moral , and honourable feeling of the people of the indebted states cannot be questioned ; and we are happy to perceive a settled disposition on their part , as their ability returns after a season of unexampled pecuniary embarrassment , to pay off all just demands , and to acquiesce in any reasonable measures to accomplish that object .

      REVENOE—IHB TARIFF . Upon the tariff question the President repeats his former declarations in favour of a tariff for revenue , with incidental protection to all branches of industry , agricultural , commercial , and manufacturing . He defines and restricts the incidental protection , so that in all cases it shall fall within the revenue principle .

      ANNEXATION OF TEXAS . The republic of Texas has made known her desire to come into our union , to form a part of our confederacy , and enjoy with us the blessings of liberty seoured and guaranteed by our constitution . Texas was once a ; part of our country , was unwisely ceded away to a foreign power , is now independent , and possesses an undoubted right to dispose of a part or the whole of her territory , and to merge her sovereignty , as a separate and independent state , iu ours . I congratulate my country that , by an act of the late Congress of the United States , the assent of this Government has been given to the reunion : and it only remains for the two countries to agree upon the terms to consummate an object so important to both . I regard the question of annexation as belonging exclusively to the United States and Texas . They are independent powers , competent to contract ; and foreign nations have no right to interfere ivith them , or to take exceptions to their reunion . Foreign powers do not seem

      to appreciate the true character of our Government . Our Union is a confederation of independent states , whose policy is peace with each other and aU the world . To enlarge its limits is to extend the dominion Of peace over additional territories aud increasing millions . The world has nothing to fear from military ambition in our Government . While the chief magistrate and the popular branch of Congress are elected for short terms by the suffrages of those millions who must , in their own persons , bear all the burdens and miseries of war , our Government cannot be otherwise than pacific . Foreign powers should , therefore , look onthe annexation of Texas to the United States , not as the conquest of a nation seeking to extend her dominions by arms and violence , but as _xne peaceful acquisition of a territory once hor own , by adding another member to our confederation , ivith the consent of that member—thereb y diminishing the chances of war , and opening to them new and ever-increasing markets for their products .

      The President dilates at some length upon the advantages to both parties of the projected union , and pledges himself to consummate the expressed will oi the people of the United States , by the " re-annexation of Texas , " at "the earliest practicable period . " He next comes to—*

      THE OKEGON . Nor wiU it become in a less degree my duty to assert and maintain , by all constitutional means , the right of the United States to that portion of our territory which lies beyond the Rocky Mountains . Our title to the country of the Oregon is " clear and unquestionable , " aud already are our people preparing to perfect that title by occupying it with their wives and children . But eighty years ago our population was confined on the west by the ridge of the Alleghanies . Witlun that period—within the lifetime , I might 3 ay , of some of my hearers—our people , increasing to many millions , have filled the eastern valley of the Mississippi ; adventurously ascended the Missouri to its head springs , and are already engaged iu

      establishing the blessings of Sl'lf-government in vaUeys , of which the rivers flow to the Pacific . The world beholds the peaceful triumphs of the industry of our emigrants . To us belongs the duty of protecting them adequately , wherever they may he upon our soil . The jurisdiction of our laws , and the benefits of our Republican _institutions , should be extended over them in the distant regions which they have selected for their homes . The increasing facilities of intercourse will easily bring the States , of which the formation in that part of our territory cannot be long delayed , within the sphere of our federative Union . In the meantime , every obligation imposed by treaty or conventional stipulations should he sacredly respected .

      The President promises to hold his officials to a rigid accountability in the discharge of then * duties . He concluded by saying—Although in our country the chief magistrate must , almost of necessity , be chosen by aparty , and stand pledged to its principles and measures , yet , in his official action , he should not be the President of a part only , but of the whole people of the United States . While he executes the laws with an impartial hand , shrinks from no proper responsibility , and faithfully carries out in the Executive department of the Government the principles and policy of those who have chosen hhn , he should not be unmindful that our fellow-citizens who have differed with him iu opinion are entitled to the full and free exercise of theiv opinions and judgments , and that the rights of all are entitled to respect and regard .

      . Confidently relying upon thc aid and assistance ofthe co-ordinate departments of the Government in conducting the public affairs , I enter upon the discharge of the high duties which have been assigned me by tho people , again humbly supplicating tliat Divine Being , who has watched over and protected our beloved country from its infancy to the present hour , to continue His gracious benedictions upon us , that we may continue to be a pros perous and happy people .

      Duncombe _Tusiimomial !!—Final Appeal op the _Centrai _, Committee io the People of _Gbeat Britain ahd _Ireland—The Central Committee have resolved once more tb call the attention ofthe people of this great nation to the object for whieh they are constituted ; and in doing so thoy would ndvert briefly to the occasion and circumstances which led to their formation .- —In the month of May , 1844 , the Trades of London , and the inhabitants ot * its vast suburbs , were filled with admiration and delight at the manly and noble conduct of Labour ' s champion , T . S . DUNCOMBE , Esq ., M . P . The ability disi played by that gentleman in resisting aggressive legislation , and his zealous , untiring advocacy of the rights of Labour , were the common theme of all

      classes ofKeformers—yea , even hispolitical opponents could not help admiring his heroic conduct . Whilst the men ofthe metropolis were thus gratefully admiring Mv . _Dunconihe ' 8 conduct , and were wondering at their narrow escape from the odious " Masters and Servants' Bill , " it naturally and spontaneousl y suggested itself , that the working classes and their friends should testify their gratitude b y presenting a testimonial to their friend and champion . To raise a fund for tliis purpose , the Central Committee was called into existence at the period already stated . From that time to the present they have employed every means they could command fbr the furtherance of their undertaking . They solicited the co-operation _fifu the Trados and working classes , —of the public

      _generally , —by advertising—by holding public meetings—issuing addresses setting forth the claims of Mr . Duncombe to popular support : they likewise enlisted the public press in favour of tlieir grateful object ( which services so rendered they beg most gratefully to acknowledge ); but notwithstanding all that has been dono , tho Testimonial Fund is at the present time very far short of what the Committee had confidently expected it would have been , from the activity and good feeling which were manifested when they first appealed to the British public for co-operation ; but , strange as it appears to us , the enthusiasm wliich prevailed in almost every town and village in the country has died away without the great mass of the people having added , a single penny to the

      Testimonial i _und . lt is true that several trades ,. _&&« sections of trades , . is well as a few localities , have contributed liberally ; however the sum total at present is far short of what the Committee reasonably anticipated , for the extraordinary exertions of Mr . Duncombe in defending and promoting the interests and privileges of the people . Having made this statement , and disclosed their position , the Committee would enumerate what appear to them as some ofthe causes which have operated against them , and hitherto prevented the successful accomplishment of their object : —1 st . The protracted and expensive struggles of some trades , and numerous bodies of working-men , in defending themselves against the aggressions and tyranny of Capital , have hitherto

      prevented such from giving their assistance , ihe Miners , for instance ,, have been thereby prevented from contributing a single farthing . 2 nd . The opposition ahd hostility of prejudiced opponents . 3 rd . The Committee of Gentlemen which was formed , and promised peat assistance at the _commencement havefailedtorenderefficient service . The 4 th , and the last , wliich the Committee would mention , and perhaps the principal one , has been the diversity of opinion as to what the testimonial ought to be . An estate was proposed ; the idea was adopted unwisely , as experience has taught the Committee for great numbers have objected to this , and have taken the most effectual mode of determining that it should not be an estate—they have given nothing .

      Others were of opinion that a penny subscription was quite enough . Yes , and so the Committee-believe , if the working millions of this populous country had to a man given their pence . Others , again , objected in toto to the principle of presenting testimonials , alleging that " however much an individual may do , he ( foes nothing more than his duty : and self-gratulation for having done so , should be his reward . " The moral feelings of such as advance this argument must surely be in a morbid state . The Committee hold the sentiment that every labourer is worthy of his hire , irrespective of his condition , and that by the law of equity every man ought tobe remunerated for the services he renders , whether he belongs to the . highest or lowest class of society : but this is not . the principle of testimonials—what we apprehend is

      meant by such a testimonial aa we have proposed , is simply to give _•»* . _*¦ _rcar-ian to one of tho boot foolvng-s ofthe human heart ; to give substantial proof that we appreciate the benefits conferred upon us . Finally , we appeal to the people of these realms , for whose benefit Mr . Duncombe has laboured so much , to testify to the world that they are not so insensible , so destitute of gratitude , as not to appreciate the services of their friend and champion—their faithful Parliamentary Representative . Your gratitude will be estimated by the response you give to our appealby the support you give to the testimonial ; _andthat you may not for ever cast a stigma on your names , we urge you to rally—to awake from your unmanly apathv , and hasten to subscribe your mites according

      to your abilities . Remember that only a penny from each working man in the kingdom would make such a fund as would enable the Committee to present a testimonial as would he alike honourable to him . who accepts and those who give . There is yet time to ward off the disgrace—thelasting disgrace andridicule which must inevitably fall upon you if you allow the Duncombe Testimonial to be in thc end a failure , The Central Committee are desirous that they shall not be to blame ; most gladly would they prolong their efforts for six or eight months longer , but with their present prospect , they have determined , positively to terminate their labours by the 4 th of next Jiine . Wc

      have therefore to request all friends holding collecting books , and all Local Committees , to forward the sums they have collected , on or before-the 7 th day of May next , to enable the Central Committee to wind up their accounts by the 4 th of June , after whicli date they will as early as possible publish their balance sheet . By order , and on behalf of the Central Committee . —James Grass by , Chairman ; Jambs Stmis , Secretary .

      _MAwsriEhD Framework-knitters . — At a public meeting ofthe Silk Knotted hands , held at the house of Mr . Bullivant , Black Swan Inn , Mansfield , March 24 , 1845 , it was unanimousl y resolved— " That the practice of reducing wages is detrimental to the manufacturer , inasmuch as it destroys confidence in thc market and tends to lessen the value of tlieir stock and machinery , and gives tho unprincipled and needy speculator an advantage over the man of principle and upright dealing . The practice is still more prejudicial to thc workman , inasmuch as thc natural stimulus to the laudable exertion of industry is removed , and incessant toil procures him no adequate return to meet the wants of his family . It is also prejudicial to the public , inasmuch as it lessens the amount of money in circulation , and consequently

      narrows the means ofthe tradesmen and agriculturists , and at the same time increases thc demand made upon them in the shape of poor rates , and renders property generally more insecure and of less value . We , therefore , publicly declare that wc will not make silk knotted hose at anything below our present statement price . And should the Hosiers still persevere in attempting to bring us lower in the scale of society , and thereby increase our present misery , wc will at once give up our frames and turn our attention to something else that will , at least , be more regular if not better paid . Signed on behalf of the meeting , T . | Elliott , chairman— P . S . For the last three years and a half the majority of the workmen employed in this branch have not earned more than four shillings per week each . "

George Flynn then addressed tlio meeting at considerable length on the benefits to bo derived from a general amalgamation of the Trades . Mr . Brook moved , and Mr . Watson seconded— " That , in order to carry out the foregoing

      resolution , it is necessary that we form ourselves into ah association , to be called thc Bradford Power-loom Weavers' Protective Society , and that George Flynn be requested to divide the town into district meetings and assist us in forming local committees , and adopt such other measures as he may deem requisite to further the organisation , and that a collection be made at the close of this meeting to defray the expenses .

The details of this case are not fit for publication . Mr . Wilkins addressed the jury for the prisoner in an energetic speech . He relied strongly on the circumstance that there were no signs manifest of the girl having suffered violence , and that this case presented none of those evidences of force having been used , without which it would ho . unjust to convict the prisoner . He made no doubt that thc girl had , in fact , complained to her mother only because she was aware of her brother being awake , and expected that he would tell her mother of what had taken place .

      To The Editob Of The Northern Stab. Sia,...

      TO THE _EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAB . _Sia , —Permit me to say a few words on the subject of thc Ten Hours' Bill , under the hope that I may induce some of my fellow-workmen to bestir themselves thereon at this most favourable moment . There is no subject which can at present be mooted of greater benefit to the labouring community , nor is there one to be found more useful in its results , save that of equal politioalpower . Let me , however , be rightly understood : for nothing can be w » rse than to holdout fallacious hopes . It would not increase wages , but it would not lessen them in the long run ; because , if unable to earn so much as at present weekly , the markets .. would consequently not be 30 speedily glutted , and hence greater regularity in that which you did receive . But that for which , above all other considerations , you ought to strenuously exert yourselves is , the

      health , the comfort , aud the prolongation of your children ' s lives . Every working man belonging to most of the trades finds it extremelj difficult , if not imposisible , when burdened with a family of small children , to bring them up in any degree of comfort . He is obliged to wait , and toU ou in poverty and misery , till they are grown sufficiently to be able to do something which will make an addition to his own earnings . The principal employment for them is . factory labour ; and , as . these factories aro at present conducted , the father mends his condition by preying upon the very vitals of his offspring . I have lost , within tho last four months , one girl , eighteen years of age , of consumption ; and the registrar , when I went for the usual certificate in ca « e of death , asked me how it happened that so many young girls , labouring in factories , died of the Bame disease . Another of my girls , whom I am still compelled , by dire necessity , to send to _theie human slaughterhouses , informed me , on arriving at home on Thursday evening , that just before her _leaviug the mill a young woman had swooned away . There is

      hardly a day passes that some are uot carried out in this state . The poor things are not merely compelled to remain in the mill the live-long day , but are obliged to per . form a certain amount of work ; and , failing to do this , are sent about their business—an amount of work , too , which none but the naturally more active , or those long habituated to the employment , can in some of tho mills especially , accomplish . In every mill here a certain quantity of cloth has to be produced * , but some are more rigorous , and exact more than others . There is one mill in this town especially notorious for this . During meal hours the hands are at work , not by steam , but by bodily exertion , keeping the loom in motion , notwithstanding the rigour of law on that head . This week , I am told , they have desisted , owing to an apprehension of being visited by the inspector . Prizes are given at this mill—a piece of fancy goods , or a sum of money equivalent in Talue thereto , is given to the weaver who has performed the greatest quantity of work within a given period . This millowner is one ofthe wealthiest in the town—one Whose

      whole fortune has been made out ofthe cotton trade ; and yet whose gratitude to his workmen is such that not one of them dares to belong to either apolitical or trades' union . Now , fellow-workmen , two hours' labour each day less would be an incalculable good to all engaged in factory employment . Last summer I observed that there was hardly a family with three or four hands working at the mill which had not one or other of those hands continually at home sick . Let any man having such a family calculate what is lost in wages yearly thereby , and he will need no other argument to convince himself , as well as his wife , ofthe necessity of a Ten Hours' Bill , since by it those lost wages would probably have been saved . Thc time afforded in summer for healthful recreation , and in winter for the performance of some domestic duty , would effect for the female portion ofthe hands a twofold good . Their health would be improved , and they would , in more than one sense , be better fitted for becoming mothers . The hands at Mr . Gardner ' s mill , close to

      which I now live , experiences in these respects great benefit , oven with eleven hours . What , then , might be expected from the diminution of another hour " -: Let me entreat you , therefore , to bestir yourselves , that another year , if possible , may not pass under the present henlth-dostroying , death-dealing system of protracted toil . If it be awful to have a brother ' s blood crying to heaven for vengeance , what must be our state when our children ' s blood cries in like manner against us ! Is this not already our ease—for havo we done all which becam * us as men to do 1 I fear we havo not . "We love our children , we say , as well as the rich love theirs ; but he . vs we fed them ? have we clothed them ? have wo educated them as well as theirs 1

      No , we have not . In childhood we have denied their appeals for a crust of dry bread , whilst we left them to wallow in raga and dirt ; and , as soon as ever the law would permit us , we have sent them to the mill , to De worked to death , for the paltry earn of _tv ° ° * *» shillings a week ! Yes , so soon as law Perm _»« _efl . us ; tor the law ie more merciful than us , _^ ' _^^ : _^ ¦ _£ . _trains us , we were sending them to the miU _^ as won as they could crawl . Talk of tiie Circassian bartering h « daughters , or the Hindoo or African their sons , for gold , _theTeW Briton is ready , not merely to sell , but to sacrifi ** his children , that others , uot himself , may pocket Preston- March 22 nd , I 8 _* _s 5 _, Bichabd _MABSDsif

      | _SADLEH'S WELLS : . : ; ; . _*¦ - Unlike nearly every other theatre , Easter . has witnessed no extra preparation here to catch the holiday folic . _^ For thisunusal course there is good reason , the _eouuiuiea and increasing popularity attendant on the P _™ . " _* revival of the dramas of our _immoi-talShakspearc . in . _tliei _** original purity and beauty has rendered the usual _paster " spectacle" altogether unnecessary at this theatre . ± He announcement of Richard the Third with Shakspeare s text restored , has proved' _ijiute sufficient-to a ttraet-tne numbers which usually throngthe boxes , pit , and 8 _- > _-ue y of this house . Itis much tothe credit of Mr . Phelps , the manager , that lie had at length- made the attempt to displace the patchwork of Colloy ( Jibber , and to present the

      public with the play of Richard the Third as it ought to be . it affords , at tiie same time , no sraall' proot of the uicreas _* . *• ¦ ¦ , 'intelli _gence of Hie age , thatan audience who were sup ' posed formerly to be capable only of relishing " _usal water , * and the pantomime of Grimaldi , caniiow be _entertained with Shakspeare . Mr . "Phelps ' s attempt seems to be fully appreciated . The pia } - is got up with much _greater atten-H ?} i £ oslu , me' *¦'¦ " ' ww shown foi' many years ar cither . ?; ™ * _>' _* " theatres . The acting of Mrs . Warner and Mr . rhclpsis too well known to necd ' our commendation ; enough that the audience gave their testimony to _ttiwrratification they _lound in witnessing their performances . The evening ' s entertainments ( Monday )' eoncludedw _* ith the laughable-farce of the ¦ Spitfire . '¦¦ '•¦

      OLYMPIC . This theatre has been re-opeiled under a new management , with some useful additions to the corps dramatimic and . with the announced detevmini-ttion to make it "the most agreeable summer resort in London . " ' Henceforth it is to be " a summer theatre . " The entertainments of Monday evening commenced with'a drama _by-Leman llede entitled the Game Cock of the _miderness . This piece afforded Mr . Marble , thc American actor ,. a fair field for the display of his abilities and his very laughable Kentuckian phraseology . He was loudly called for at the fall ofthe curtain , before which * he appeared _sliorUy , and announced that the " C'ocib of the Wilderness" ' would crow every evening , during the week . It-was followed by a " petite comedy" called the Plague of Plymouth . The Easter novelty , with which the performances concluded ,

      was served up in the shape of an " entirely new , novel , and perfectly original , grand romantic , chivalric , bur . lesque extravaganza , " founded upon the history of the " Seven Champions of Christendom . " The scenery and dresses were new ; and the dialogue , whieh is perfectly original , contains some homely passages that excited either the laughter or applause of the audience-. Mahomed Ali , for instance , - is so overjoyed at hearing that St . George has killed the dragon , that he instantly exclaims , "Give bread to every one who axes , and let there be a-general repeal of taxes . " * St . George , who is represented as a saint iu a new light , and patronizing everything English , feels it necessary to say , "Except the income tax , that horrid bore , wliich we must pay at least for three years move . " The theatre was well filled , and thepcrtiovmances seemed to give universal satisfaction . ¦

      VICTORIA . The new season commenced on Monday with the" pro . dUCtiou Of " ail entirely new drama in four parts , " entitled Margarite CatchpoU , the Female Horse Stealer ; or , the Life and Adventures of a Suffolk Girl . ' Wc can only find room to say that the piece seemed to be completely successful , judging by the anything but gentle applause-of the . audience , One of thc best scones in tho piece was a burlesque imitation of the Polka by Muster Nym Vatkins ( J . Herbert ) and Miss Betty Serag ( Miss E . Terry ) , whicli was very cleverly danced , and was greeted with three rounds of applause . The performances concluded with a stock burletta , Hercules , King of Clubs , m which Mr . J . Herbert gave some ludicrous imitations of the Grecian statues ; followed by a drama called the Knights ofthe Cross . .

      ASTLEY'S . This house re-opened on Monday with . a . " newgrand military spectacle , " called the Maid of _Scraaossa ¦ or , tiie Spanish Amazons . The eventful period in which the scene is laid is too familiar to require us to do more than state that the plot i 3 founded on the incidents wliich arose during the earlier part of the invasion of Spain by the French army , and especially that of the defense of Saragossa . The gallant bravery of the heroine is well delineated by Mrs . Ismay , and many of the tableaux are arranged with good effect . The scenery and the costumes are trul y magnificent , and the piece is altogether one which cannot fail to please the frequenters of tliis _theatne . The scenes in the circle were varied by the . first appearance . of Madame and Mons . Dumos , who ave first-rate artists . Mons . Dumos appeared in his unique act , as Napoleon Bonaparte , which he perforins with infinite taste . .

Previous to the jury being discharged they

      handed to the coroner a statement to the following effect : — "The jury cannot close this investigation without expressing their opinion that the application _, of low pressure boilers to high pressure purposes ia highly dangerous , and ought-to be prohibited by law . And they arc further of opinion , that the important Aiut o _viivitvj ~~ _tiifa . _inaiihr should be-laid 'before her Majesty s Government , in _vw - k- « - _-W . annul legislative enactment may be adopted ,, whereby , if possible , to prevent that powerful destruction to human life which arises under the present imperfect system . " The Coroner said he should be happy to give effect to the opinion of the jury , which he thought to be a very proper one ; and having thanked them for their patient attention to the case during the number of days it had engaged their attendance , discharged them in-due form .
