The homely proverb expresses a philosophical truth , when it says that" Silence gives consent ; " and in nil cases of this kind , not to condemn is to approve , or , as it is mere _forcibly put by the Roman poet , ne tnat doesnot _forbvlacrime when he is able , comm « nds it ?' ' . . ... . .... most noxious
The poIit « aUpy and informer is the of all characters _f what , then , let **« _""X ± _^ tary ask himself , are the employew . af such pm _, ons -and what his approver , " _^ _^ P _> ' _£ 'J ™™ not _u-iir , _" Jan « u . i _£ e stronger than _" _*< - occasion _SS _. S ' _aid confl easily _justify it , by quoting the infomv of _S-i-uiW , which Tacitus has _cu-rnahsed ,-S _^ oW which will rest upon tho head of _"Wiliia-n l * itt so long as thc speeches of Mr . Grey , afterwards Earl Grey , live in parliamentary historr _—Currau ' s words of fire , ov the public execrations of Sidmouth and _Castlcrcash , which still ring on the car . And because wc would not have a liberal government covered with a like obloquy in pcrpetuitv , nor tho reign of " Victoria made coniparah eh _eulpability to that of Geonre III ., and his successor on the throne , wo trust that no time will be lost in warding off the foul imputation which this misconduct of the poiica authorities virtually attaches to the national _charsctcr .
Besides ths discredit whieh these persons are bringing upon the Queen and her Government , we have to complain of a gross misdirection of the public money . The _citizsns pay the police force liberally enough , to protect their persons and propcrtv , and not to intrude themselves into their meetings for deliberation on political subject ? . "W « lave ample experience of the direct tendency and effects of such _underhand intermeddling , in tho riots and mur Jew which were caused hy the machinations of political emissaries in former periods . It may . perhaps , be said , that it is the duty of the police to learn , l _* y all the means in their power , what passes among the peop l e . We deny it . They are merelv _ofS-jerc . As constables thev have no
eo < rnkineo of political or _*> ny other kind of discussion concerning laws .-nd government , religion or seienee . They have no cognisance whatever of such matters ; " n .-. v , more , tlio public do not allow the most inrel'hrvnt among the bo ; ly to be capable of _form-us a _judgment concerning them , or the tendency of them , sad tbe law and tho judges of the land ratify thi-. decision ofthe public . Their proper business is with overt infractions of the laws , and with manifested intentions of such overt acts . All beyond this is a eulpabh * _transgression of duty , a violation ofthe rights of free citizens , and a malappropriation of public money . On these grounds alone the parties who h wc thus conducted themselves demand correction from the higher
authorities . None but a magistrate can lawfully do what these _men . have presunaed to do . He alone is capable of employing persons competent to form opinioas of the tendency of any movement of the people . He alone is competent to exercise a discretion on the receipt of their reports . Mere extravagance of opinion is no _afiair for either cou _.-tnWe or _m-isistrato in England . They have cognisance of nothing but acts , and manifested intentions of _breaking tbe peace , or violating a law . If they _transgress this line they themselves endanger the peace . It was so in the police case to which wc have referred . The Chartists detected
some disguised policemen , and assaulted them . Those men , had they gone in their proper character , and in an open and honest manner , would not have occasioned a breach of the peace ; but they went in & _secret manner , whieh is always suspicious , they excited a very natural irritation , and , in fact , might have caused a loss of life . In every point of view , the conduct of the police is censurable ; but it is of the first moment to the public , that the practice of espionage should be checked before it becomes a system , and loosen all the confidence of man in his fellow-mas . If suffered to continue , it will , at no distant period , be the banc" of society , as it was in ancient Rome , and in modern France .

_¦* ,- 7 ZZ _w-ft Cat —There was a - JS _2 S & 1 _» « _W y' evening . Mr . _S _£ S _* _^ to the chair , and the secretary £ ndTff O ' Connor ' s letter to tho shareholders , _Xn Mr ' Dixon's , and the report of the Land meeting a ? ' Goldeu-laue , from the Northern Star .-The Chairman wished to correct an impression under which Mr . O'Connor was labouring , viz ., that the committee getting up the meeting were actuated by feelings hostile to himself , or that they in any way induced the allottees" to attend . He thought the conduct of those who attended was unjustifiable , and their language so violent and insulting that tho meetinsr would have been justified in expelling
them . lie believed Mr . O'Connor had been misled by others relative to the committee ; they believed that in calling the meeting they wore not only consulting the interests of the Company , but also Mr . O'Connor's private feelings , lie wns surprised at Mr . Dixon's letter ; he had greatly underrated the numbers present , and mistated other things relative to tbe roeetinff . Mr . " Dixon was met by the deputation at Mr . O'Connor ' s d < ior and desired to accompany them ; this he declined _doing , yet was the first to misrepresent them . - The slack attendance was owing to their havin g no bills to announce it , and the political conduct of the Directors had caused many to cease taking in the Northern Star . —Several members spoke in favour of the correctness of the report in the Star ; but blamed the letter of Mr .
Dixon .- —Mr . "Wheeler , in answer to a question from Mr . Darlison _, showed that Mr . O'Connor had stated that proper receivers would be appointed by Parliament to receive the money arising from the sale of the estates when the Company was wound up , and apply It to paying a dividend to the shareholders . He also reprobated in strong terms the insulting and violent language used by the allottees at the public meeting in Golden-lane , and referred them to the case of Sherlock » . O'Connor , which was read from the Star , and received with applause . —Mr . Wilson , late secretary in that district , in a long address gave his reasons for tho partial failure of the Company ; they were all to blame , from the highest to the lowest ; Mr . O'Connor had been too enthusiastic , and the members too sanguine in tbeir
expectations , and too backward in their payments . He acquitted thc Directors of all charges of dishonesty , but believed that they had neglected their duties in not either resigning or calling a Conference at an carlier date . The local secretaries and treasurers had also been neglectful in not being more particular in sending in to the Directors the separate amounts paid by each individual . If this was not seen to before the Company was wound up great confusion would be tlie result . Mr . Wilson stated that persons had , to his knowledge , paid £ 9 a year rent for an acre of ground , in what was now Victoria Park , whilst for better land at Snig ' s End and Lowbands , and a bouse like a palace to live in , they pretended they could pay no rent . He beticved the allottees had entered into a general combination to defraud the shareholders . —Mr . _Darliston thought the best way they could assist Mr . O'Connor was by furnishing funds to wind up tbo Company . —Mr . Lawrence was of opinion that the Conference should
be called iii London if it was only to _iiivestijrate the accounts of the branches , and seo whether the sums they had paid agreed * with the cards of the members , which should be * called in for that purpose . He agreed with "Mr . Wilson relative to many of his views as to the causes of the partial failure of the Company , but thought that the Conferences were chiefly to blame . He believed the original plan would have been successful if it had not been altered . —Several other shareholders expressed similar views , and severely criticised the conduct of the allottees , and those who s" _(^ ported them , including Messrs . Stallwood and Isaac Wilson . —Mr . Talboys denied the assertion in Mr . Dixon's letter that he had paid nothing to the Company ; he had paid 8 s . 6 d .: he had no enmity either to Mr . O'Connor or to the Directors , but he thought that the shareholders should have a share in winding up their own affairs ; this could only be done by having a Conference . Mr . Dixon's letter was an uncalled
for attack on the committee , and the report of the meeting was not so full as it might bave been . He thought that Mr . O'Connor should have stopped longer to answer any questions that might have heen put to him . —Mr . Lawrence moved , and Mr . Talboys seconded : — " That wo recommend the calling ofa Conference in London in the first week in May , and that it be called alter the same method as the last . —After considerable discussion relative to the expense , & c , the motion was carried . — Several of the committee for _getting up the meeting at Golden-lane stated they were full paid-up shareholders , and wished it to be so stated in the report . The meeting then adjourned .
Leicester . —At a meeting of the committee Of No . 1 branch , a resolution was adopted , calling on all the paid-up shareholders who have not yet paid their levy of sixpence towards winding up the affairs of the Company to do SO forthwith , ftS _nOflpplication will be made to Parliament till the 5 * 100 is paid . We hope they will not impede the progress of so desirable an object . We _asree with the different localities tbat a Conference be held before the bill be presented to Parliament , and we think with Mr . O'Connor that it is unjust to be governed by laws we have no voice in making , A good understanding cannot be had unless a report be given Irom the different districts , and as Nottingham was once named to be the place , we think a more central town could not be selected , as a direct line from all parts of the kingdom can be taken .

The Land Company. The Committee Of The N...
THE LAND COMPANY . THE COMMITTEE OF THE NORWICH BRANCH TO THE MEMBERS OF _inAT DISTRICT . Friends . —We , the Committee of that Branch , feel it our duty to address you upon thc present position of the Land Company . F _/ iends , the Company was established for the purpose e . f placing you on the Land of this country , but the ignorant , selfishness' of government , aided by a base hireling press , and the treachery of ingratifudeof those whom we have put upon the Land by our hard-earned pence , has caused its failure . After taking possession of their allotments , some of the allottees refused to pay rent in accot dance with the rules of tht
Society . Brother Shareholders , we beg to inform you that Mr . O'Connor has done all that laid in his power , hut could cot obtain that protection which every one has a right to expect from the laws of his country ; therefore there is no other course le ! i but lo apply to parliament for a hill to wind up the affairs of the Company , and for that object n call has heen made to each locality to remit their share towards the expenses . Now we cannot expect that one man , or ten , can do the business of all the members ; so we hope and trust tbat each member will pay his share , and rescue the property from the
grasp of those who have appealed ta the Manchester school for the mean * to throw it iuto chancery . We also beg to inform you , that for the better accommodation of the members , subscription lists are lying at the ; following places : —Mr . J . Storey , at St . Augusline ' s-gates ; Mr . T . Fox , at the Queen ' s Head , St . Giles ; Mr . B . Howlett , "Bee-hive , Kingstreet ; Mr . J . Collins , New Larkenham ; and at the room , St . Mary ' s , every Sunday morning , at halfpast ten o'dock . By order of the Committee , Conrad Springaij _., See .
P . S . — "We . also suggest that petitions be got up by every branch , and presented to the Ilouse of Commons by their own members , praying the house to support Mr . O'Connor in winding up the Land Company . We also recommend that Mr . O'Connor should have the power to receive loans of five or ten shillings , to be repaid when tbe Company is wound up , for we feel convinced tbat a sufficient sum will not be raited in time by a levy upon the member ' s . CS .

WINDING-UP OF THE LAND COMPANY . TO TUB EDITOR OF THK NORTHERS BTAB . Furnace-road , Long ton , Staffordshire . Dear Sir , —I send you two shillings in Postagestamps—one _shillinj for myself and one shilling from another shareholder—towards winding up tbe Land _Csmpany . I cannot understand why tome persons are continually calling out for the Land Company to be wound up , and yet withholding their share of tbe necessary funds to do so . They must be either fools or knaves—fools to think that Company can be wound up without funds at its disposal ; and if they are aware of ( his they are knaves if they do not supply the required amount .
Soma are for lelhr _. g an estate , and raising the money in that way ; But how can that be don * -, when the law requires it to be advertised , which would incur other legal expenses , previous to the tale ? I hope _^ e "hall bear no more from these persons about having political power to govern their country , when they have net the sense nor _honeify to govern a Company , with a view to its loccesful . winding up . But . the greatest brawlers are always the least doers . I am heartily sick of such persons . I remain , yours in the cause of Right , Nov . 23 _^ A Paid-op Shareholder .

Sdtton-Ik Ashfield.— At A Publio Meeting...
_Sdtton-ik Ashfield . — At a publio meeting specially convened for thc purpose of discussing the address issued by the Executive , it was resolved : — " That ic is the opinion of this meeting tbat the Manchester Council has no proper authority for calling a National Conference , to be held at Manchester , and that Christmas is especially ill-timed for such purpose ; and further , we fully concur in the steps taken by the late . Executive , for the election of a new one ; and that the projected National Charter and Social _Ilvsform , _Uukm has our most cordial acquiesence , believing that it will be productive of great results , that such an amount of mind and energy will rally round . our standard as the democratic cause has never witnessed . "—
" That the secretary be instructed _ . to balance the accounts ofthis locality , to ascetain how many cards are disposed of , and make a return to the Executive as early as possible . " With all due respect forthe name and _cliaiftCtot * of Mr . O'Connor _, we regret that that gentleman should have stood aloof from the recent Conference . We believe that the delegates composing that Conference are imbued with an ardent desiro to serve the good cause , and think Mr . O'Connor should havo attended the sittings and have given them the benefit of his views , rather than to have suggested the Manchester Conference , as it were from a spirit of opposition however , we feel assured that they have taken a step in the right direction , and as such shall have our support .
Globs and Friends . — Af'er a highly interesting lecture on Sunday evening last , by Mv . J . J , Bezer , to a numerous and respectable audience , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : —Proposed by Mr . J . Shaw , seconded by Mr . T . Davis , " That this meeting views with shame and disgust the existence of that abominable system , so fraught with mischief to thc dearest rights and liberties of every British su !> JGct—the employment of policemen in private clothes , as spies upon the people , by worming themselves into the legal assemblages of _oiSr countrymen , for the purpose of entrapping our friends ; and believing such practices to bo
unconstitutional , and alike ~ degrading to the man and insulting to common sense , we trust that tho people throughout thc country will speak their sentiments with reference to such Whig innovations of their rights . - " Wo therefore respectfully request , that Messrs . Wakely , O'Connor , George Thompson , and other democratic friends , will bring under the notice of Parliament tbe intrusion of policemen , and consequent arrest of Alfred Fuzzon , at a recent meeing of working men in Turhmill-ttrcot , Clerkenweil . We also hope these gentlemen will endeavour to obtain a committee to inquire into the nature of thc duties performed by the members of the police fovce . "

Votes can be recorded at the rooms , 26 . Goldenlane , Cripplegate , on and after the 30 th of November .
Lynx . —At a full meeting it was proposed and seconded , —• ' That we , the Chartists of this locality , consider that the Manchester Council , not being a duly elected head of the National Charter Association , had no authority to summon a Conference , and that the present Executive Committeo have been worthy , off the greatest . confidence .

In our opinion , tho Executive Committee are the only persons eligible to call a Conference , whea and where they think proper ; at the same time , wo think London the best place . "—•« That this _mcetinir is of op nion that it will be unwise to adopt the plan proposed by the late Conference , for the following reasons : —First , because of the many conflicting opinions on the social _questions ; second , as the Con'erence has , in our opinion , destroyed tho principles of equal representation , by giving to the few , the same numbers of delegates as the many ; third , because we believe the Charter the common ground , ' all . might unite upon , without sacrificing any of their ultra opinions .

The Lower Warley Delegate Meeting. To Th...
THE LOWER WARLEY DELEGATE MEETING . TO THE EDITOR OP THE NORTHER ?? STAR . Dear Sir , —On looking over the Northern Star of Saturday last I was greatly surprised , to see it stated that there had been a delegate meeting al Lower Warley of the various localitiesi ' n the Halifax district . The places represented and the names of the delegates attending are omitted , and the result of their meeting is the . formation of a new district , to be called the' Halifax District of the National Association . ' But what surprised me most "was . that I , being the acknowledged secretary of the Halifax
district , having been appointed to that office in the memorable year ' 48 , received no notice of that meeting . I might come to the conclusion Ihat there has . been no delegate meeting at all , or , if there has been , that the delegates there were _selfelCCte < J « ; I think it WOUJd have been more , honour able on their part , if . they had consulted the district officers before , _thsy had . taken such a step , for the following reasons : —At the last delegate meeting . held al . Lower Warley , " which I hati the pleasure _flcalling , I wished to resign the office of secretary ; but the delegates said I should not give up tbe office until all the debts which had been contracted were paid ( and I- can assure you they are many ) . Al another delegate meeting , held al Nichols' Temperance-hotel , the old veteran , Ben . Rushton _, said
that he would never desert the district until every debt was paid lip , and tbat , if nine persons could be found witli himself , he would pay sixpence per week until all was paid up . There is another circumstance connected with this would-be delegate meeting that makes it appear very suspicious , it is this—that the Halifax Branch of the National Charter Association and several others , which I could mention , received no notice of it until they saw it in the Northern Star of Saturday laBt . I think I have now stated the real facts of the case , as far as I am concerned , and I beg to assure those friends who have so kindly written to me on the subject , that I have had nothing to do with it , in no shape or form what _, ever . Uriah _Hinchclippe , District Secretary of tbe Halifax District .

A man , named Wood , managed to get him out by stooping : down by the side . The prisoner then threw himself in . again . He was a second time rescued on which ho a : ain plunged in head foremost , and this time he " did not rise again . Another man , named Jones , pulled off" his coat , lumped in
after the prisoner , and after some difficulty brought him oufca _! mo 8 t lifeless , When he had a little recovered , he asked to be allowed to drown himself , and struggled to get away from his _preservers . Ho was ultimately taken to the workhouse , where he remained till Monday under the care of three surgeons . —Mr . Tardly said one of the surgeons should have been in attendance , so thafc he might not be left in total ignorance as to the man ' s state of mind . From what he could make out , the prisoner appeared to tea person not accountable for his own actions . Tho case must stand over for the present , for the attendance' of one ofthe surgeons . He was sorry that his funds were so very small for relieving deserving persons . Ho could not remunerate according to his wishes those two men
who had so humanely rescued a fellow creature from an untimely end , but they should certainly be indemnified for their actual loss of timo . The man who jumped into the water should have 10 s ., and the other 5 s . —The prisoner was brought up again in the course of the day , and the constable handed Mr . Hammill ( who sat during the latter part of the day ) a nofe from the workhouse , which stated that the prisoner was subject to epileptic fits . The prisoner stated that he was out" of work , and wben one of his fits came over him ho did not know what he was about . —Mr .

Fox . With respect to the threat that he would make Mr . Fox repent having refused to give him an audience , he had been misunderstood ; the words- ho used wero thafc Mr . "Fox might repent the refusal . —Mr . Bingham considered the caso was ono . of a serious complexion , and he must therefore remand the prisoner for further inquiry . —The prisoner was admitted to bail .

summarily convicted for picking pockets , and he believed that once was for an attempt at the _sarno railway station .-, Pn 80 iier : "That ' s false I havo not been in trouble for two vears , and can get a good character for my honesty since then .

Two _porsonB were killed , and three seriously injured . Tho tremendous destruction produced on the roof of the combing machine shed , just behind where the boilers are situate , was produced by the dreadful violence with which tlio hoiler was forced from its seat . Every boiler appears to be more or less damaged by _theconbnssiou , and every one is broken from its seat . They will require re-setting . Thc windows in the lofty mill overlooking the sheds are smashed to pieces , as if they had been battcre 1 with a thick shower o ' stone ' s , and the wall thereof seems as if it had been recently splashed over with dirty water .
