C. Career Of Charles Dickies. Marlharles...
C . CAREER OF CHARLES DICKIES . Marlharles Dickens was born about the year 1810 , and ¦ " 34 . 834 ( when he was twenty-four years of age ) , he 11 aid an obscure situation in connexion with the dail y _ssparspaper press of London . The name of the newsier ter to wliich he contributed the "Sketches by '" v , " which first attracted the attention of the lite-* pup public , was the Evening Chronicle . The extraorff sty success of these sketches caused them to be _secteected in two volumes in 1835 , and their _circulawa was unparalleled . Uissccond book Was published _S-3 I 8-37 , and entitled , "ThePickwick Papers . " This _uneone of Mr . Dickens ' s happiest efforts , and has rrdordedus many a merry hour . "Sichulas _^ ickleby " his his next work . In this we have many
melanlly ily and more mirthful pictures . The ill-used iikeike—the starved scholars at Dothcboy _' s-liall—and _lhoHiohs ' s adventures with the strolling players' _comny-ay—arc all described in his best manner . Afier pie publication of this work , a new magazine made rap * appearance , entitled " Bentlcy ' s Miscellany , " of iichiicb he hecame the editor , and in it gave to the nuchuc his next novel , " Oliver Twist" Xo . I . of a w av and revised edition of this work has just made : ap appearance , published by Messvs . Bradbury and _auirans " Master Humphrey ' s Clock was commenced ns- 1840 , and is a scries of tales by our author , " Bar-Uiy hy Rudge" being the principal one . In 1 S 42 Mr . "chickens , on returning from America ( to which he
ul id made a short trip ) , published his American irteates for General Circulation . - In 1843 , he began _VMaMartin _Chuzzlewit , " in which the Americans do tt hi figure verv favourably . Mr . Dickens has also pub _Ihe-hed a " Christmas Carol" in prose , " The Chimes , " id , id , as our readers know , " The Cricket on the _sajearth . " The very name of _Boirecnllsto our minds ee le very happiest of recolfccturas . Mr . Pickwick , ithith his merry face , " a perfect map ot smiles ''—Sam _iel 7 eller , with all his _irresisiible drollery and hismcry npnpudencc—Little _Xell—Oliver Twist—Toby Veck ¦ T-Tiny Tim—and hundreds of other individual _porsiitaits _^ have all left an impression which we hope will evever be effaced .
S Sir Peter Laurie axd JosEt ? n Adv . —The folnwiwing was handed by Alderman Wilson to Sir Peter _aiiaurie , at Guildhall : — 3 3 _ir . Alderman Wilson , —The occasion of my now irinitiug is this . Through the malice of Sir Peter Laurie ; ai am daily insulted in my own house . To day two men , tt It least six feet high , came h » re demanding a return of iisOs ., and before I could ascertain whether it was due or _( _OJot , laid hold of me , threatening- riolume , anil obliged ueue _lucailoutuiurder , fastening the door and the windows .

Be so good as to teach Sir Peter , if he hits atause to see me , he must go to a proper court . I am not a n the city jurisdiction , and his publishing his hostility assay be the promotion of murder .

The ground of our dispute is his _detention of my books . _fjTyarsnow has them , and if he will persist ihat he has wilfully destroyed them , Sir Peter is rich enough to pay .

Attempted Mcrder Asd Suicide Through Tii...
Attempted Mcrder asd Suicide through tiie _iCCheemt of a son to his Father . —On Tuesday kcoi sidt ruble excitement prevailed in the town of Old _JBrentfonl , in consequence of the determined attempt icofanaged inhabitant to assassinate his son by stabicing him . and then attempting self-destruction by < cuitin * r his throat . The facts are as follow : Thomas _llow . the would-be murderer , is aged 73 , and had for 2 years carried on the _business ofa shoemaker at _Brentdford End , near the residence of tlie Duke of _Cum-Iberjand ; but some months since , iu consequence of _; falling into difficulties , he made his business over to liis son , who is in his 30 tU year . His affairs iu the i course © f time being arranged , he returned home to resume his business , but he was refused admittance
by his son , who thrust him out of doors . He has since _subsisted on the charity of friends ; but every means being exhausted , he came to the _resolution of making one more tfft . rt to obtain a shelter in his former dwelling . For that purpose he on Tuesday forenoon repaired thither , but the sou spurning his appeal , he , in a moment of excitement caught up a knife , which lay on the table , and stabbed him in the breast , and then drew the same knife across his own throat , inflicting a frightful wound . An alarm being instantly given , a surgeon was sent for , who pronounced the sou to have received an injury to one ofthe vital organs , which would probably prove fatal . The father remains under the care of * Mr . Kcate , nr < : con , but no hopes are entertained ol his ultimate recovery .

MEETINGS IN BEHALF OF THE CHARTIST EXILES . Meeiisg at Bolton . — A meeting Was held in the Chartist Association-room , Mawdsley-street , on Thursday evening week , for the purpose of petitioning the house of Commons for the release of Messrs . Frost , Williams , and Jones . The room was filled , Mr . W . W . Pickvance occupied the chair , and Mr . W . Dixon from Manchester addressed the meeting upon the subject before them . It wa 3 unanimously resolved that the following petition be adopted , and that shmatures be solicited to the same , in the borough . —
"To die Commons of Great Britain and Ireland in Parliara _. nt assembled . The petition of th « inhabitants in the Borough of Bolton , in public meeting assembled , sheweth that your petitioners view with feelings of sorrow and commiseration the long and painful Seiitenc » of transportation iumcted upon John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and John Jones , tor participating in an nntiiraik at Newport , Wales , in November , 1839 . Your petitioners believe thatthe time has at length arrived _' when clemency may be chown without any forfeiture of national justice or national interest . Tour petitioners have seen with great pleasure that her Majesty ' s Government is favourably disposed to this humane measure , a 5 evinced by tho mitigation of the sentence of banishment passed upon the Canadian prisoners , taken in arnisiu tlie lute insurrection in that country ; they , therefore , pray your honourable House to piesent an humble address to her Majesty ,
praying her to take the case of these men into her consideration , and be graciously pleased to remit the remainder of tlie sentences , and thus restore them to their distressed wives and families . Aud in return for this boon your petitioners will ever pray . " It was agreed that P . Ainsworth , Esq . M . P ., be requested to present the same and that Dr . Bo wring , M . P ., bo requested to support it . The following resolution was passed , and it was agreed that the petition therein named be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting . " That this meeting are of opinion , tliat Wm . Sherratt Ellis was innocentof the crime witli which he was charged , and that his conviction was based on evidence procuredat tlie expense of honour aud conscience . Under these circumstances , this meeting resolves to petition the House of Commons , to cause an address to be presented to her Majesty , prayiug the exercise of the Itoyal prerogative for the restoration ofthe said William Sherratt Ellis to his
country and disconsolate family . It was also agreed that a memorial signed by the chairman of the meeting , be _forwardsd to her Majesty through the Secretary of State for a commutation of the sentence passed upon John Roberts of Birmingham for the alleged offence of participating in the bull-ring riots at that town in 18 * 19 . Gkeat Meeting at Leicester . —On Monday evening last , according to announcement in the Star , a public meeting was held in the Town Hall , to petition for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . The meeting was a bumper , the largest that has been seen in the Town JIall for many years , while every person evinced the utmost enthusiasm in the sacred object for which the meeting had been convened . A
large portion of the meeting was composed of the middle classes , all of whom displayed unprecedented feeling of sympathy towards our exiled brethren . Messrs . Murscll and Bloodworth were unable to attend through indisposition , but the former rev . gentleman sent to the meeting a message expressive of his entire and hearty concurrence with the object of the meeting . Mr . Markbani ( in the unavoidable temporary absence of the chairman , Mr . Collier Town Councilman ) was called to the chair , and opened the business in a speech full of hearty cordiality and co-operation , and introduced Mr . Smart , who , iu a terse , telling , and impressive speech , moved the first resolution : —"' That it is the opinion of this meeting that a petition be presented from tbis
borough te the House of Commons , praying them to address her Majesty that she would be pleased to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones ' . " Mr . _Georse Buckby seconded it ina speechreplcte with power and pathos , when it was put and carried amid vociferous cheering . Air . Bairstow then rose to propose the adoption , of the petition , _v-lvwif t _v * as aw echo of the first resolution . He read the affecting letter from Mr . Frost , which appeared in the Star , after which he proceeded , in a somewhat lengthened speech , to review the facts connected with the Newport outbreak , to vindicate the motives and character of the Welsh patriots , and administered a merciless castigation to my Lord " Finality" and the Whig Cabinet , who would have drenched the scaffold with the blood of these good men , had it not been for the indignant
remonstrances of the people and the unwearied exertions of Pollock and O'Connor . Mr . Bairstow sat down loudly cheered , and J . Collier , Esq ., Town Councilman , seconded the adoption of the petition in a speech of great feeling and enthusiasm , in the delivery of which he was warmly applauded . The petition was carried unanimously with tremendous applause . The third resolution , —" That T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., be requested to present , and our two borough members , Sir J . Easthope and W . Ellis , Esq ., be requested to support , the petition when presented to the House of Commons , " was carried with great cheering . Votes of thanks being carried to the mayor for the use of the Town Hall , and to the chairman for his able presidency , the meeting dispersed .
_BiRMLVGHAsr . —At our meeting on Monday evening the _lollowing resolutions were adopted : — "That a public meetiug be held in the People ' s Hall on Monday , Jan 19 th , to memorialise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , of Wales , Roberts , Howell , aud Jones , of Birmingham , and Ellis , of the Staffordshire Potteries . "— " That the following gentlemen be invited to attend the meet ' ing : —F . O'Connor , Esq ., Messrs . Baldwin , Barlow , and Page , town councillors , Mr . Henry Hawkes , < fec . " A subscription was entered into for the Exiles ' Widows ' , Orphans ' , and Veteran Patriots' Fund . After other business had been disposed of , the meeting adjourned till next Sunday ; chair to be taken at five o clock .
Restoration" of the Exiles . —Since the publication of the letter of Mr . Frost and the decision come to by the _Cliartint convention , the question has been taken u _' p with much spirit in Preston . A public meeting in behalf of Frost , Williams , Jones , Ellis , and all other political exiles will take place in the Temperance Hall , on Wednesday evening . A meeting of the deputies from the spinners , shoemakers , iron trades , handloom weavers , powerloom weavers , and others , met the Frost Restoration Committee ou Sunday afternoon at _Hownth's Temperance-hotel , wheu It was agreed that each trade send a separate petition to be signed by the members of the trade . Others have _Kiguiiic-d their intended co-operation with us in this goad work , and we doubt not but that
petitions will be got up , aud numerously signed by at least thirteen trades of the town . A committee of . ladies have volunteered their services to superintend the getting up of a petition for this humane object , and such is the enthusiasm with which the proposition is received that there is no doubt the signatures of many thousands of the women oi Preston will be abbuued . Will the women of Lancashire and Yorkshire remain apathetic after the noble example thus set tbem ? The deputies aud restoration committee agreed , on Sunday afternoon , that letters be sent to Sir George Strickland and Sir Peter Ileskett Fleetwood , the members for the borough , requesting to know whether they would present the trades petitions * and give them their support in tho House of
Commons . Bath . —On Tuesday evening last , a few Chartist friends met at the Greeu Tree Tavern , Boroughwalls , to devise the best means for getting a petition numerously signed by the inhabitants of this city on behalf of the exiled patriots . Tie _meeting was a spirited one ; each endeavoured to outvie the other iu his endeavours to serve the cause of justice and humiiiiity _, in restoring to the bosom of their families our banished friends . A Committee was aimointed .
with secretary and treasurer , and 3 ( Js . were collected from _ihose present towards defraying tlie expenses that may be incurred in carrying out the above object . With much pleasure we add , that the old veterans of our locality were at their post . A deputation was appointed to wait ou tke Mayor with a _requisition to obtain the use of the Town Hall , for holding a public meeting . The committee wUl meet at the above tavern next Tuesday evening :, at eight o ' clock , to receive subscriptions . —C . Bolwell , Secretary .
Meeting at Dumfries . —At the ordinary weekly meeting of the Dumfries and Maxwelltown Working Men s _Association , on the evening of Monday , the 5 th inst ., the subject of petitioning the House of Commons in favour of the patriotic exiles was broached , and very warmly received . It was unanimously resolved , that a petition from these burghs should be got up , and , further , that a public meeting should be called on that night week , to launch the petition and open the year ' s campaign , and a committee was appointed to arrange preliminaries . From the " want of a public room of any size , the committee experienced great difficulty in carrying out the views of their constituents ; what is by courtesy tcinied the Town Hall will barely accommodate 100 , packed like herrings , even could the potent ,
grave , pot-bellied , and reverend seignors , our collective wisdom be expected to allow its desecration by _pcimitting a Chartist meeting within the hallowed preciu < _'ts . The Trades' Hall , where many a i 0 usi ,, meeting has been held , is at present occupied as a sale-room . The old Assembly-rooms , althoimh out of tue hands of that Free Kirk scamp the Rev Dugald M'Keime , has been newl y painted and decol rated , and refused for trades' halls , so that there was no hope in that quarter . Hence , after much cogitation , the committee were forced to cut the demonstration portion of tlieir arrangements iwav and content _thenurivea with a _M-koo _^ oom £ K " street , occupied several years _a-o ™ » , _r i dent , chapcl , and . _y _dfj _& Z , £ _j _^ a _squeeze , about live hundred Thow _» "' i

gathering was not a crowded one . What * f ing in numbers , however , was abundantly _«> ' m enthusiasm ; and , altogether , taku _«« g « _J'J _^ circumstance into consideration , we nw good " _begumW _o't . " OntUe motion ¦ of _MrJj »» Kirk , seconded by Mr . Jobn _^ M'Call , Mr .. _Utorg Lewis , _naU-maker , was called to the chair . _^ 1 ne chairman , in a series of sensible and touching _onser vations , unfolded the business of the meeting , con eluding with the reading aud commenting on mi . Frosfsaffecting letter to Mr . Sweet . He then called upon Mr . Archibald _M'Auslan , who , in a short audress , introduced the first resolution , which pledged tne meeting to petition for _thereleasc ot the Newport victims . It was seconded by Mr . Charles Murray , and earned unanimously . Mr . Andrew Wardrop , after a sDeeck of great power , and one that told _witu
much effect on his audience , in fact , one of the best , both as regards matter and manner that we ever hau the pleasure of listening to from him , proposed , tne second resolution , or tho addition of the name oi William Shorvat Ellis to Uiose of Frost , Williams and Jones . This resolution , having been seconded by Mr . James Shaw , was also carried b y acclamation , as was a petition to the Commons , founded on these resolutions , proposed by Mr . Wardrop , and seconded by Mr . Hugh _M'Gregor . It was also resolved , on the recommendation of the chairman— " That Mr . Ewart , member for the Dumfries district of Burghs , should be requested to support the prayer of the
petition , whicli will bo forwarded in due time to the member for all Great Britain for presentation ; and no doubt Mr . Ewart will , and cheerfully [ to . " Intimation was then given that sheets and signing materials were in the room , and that while others would lie for a week in certain places of public resort , it was probable that some ofthe larger workshops would be visited for signatures . After three cheers for the exiles , and another round for the Charter , the meet _, ing separated . It was stated , in the course of the evening bv one of the speakers , that a meeting was contemplated , althoug h not in the meantime by the Chartist party , to consider the threatened calling out of the militia or rather " conscription , " and perhaps
, the most effective hit of the evening was that made by Mr . Wardrop , when he instanced the liability of the working classes to be forced to fig ht for a system thev detest as a proof of their Elavery . The calling _out of the militia has caused a great sensation in this quarter , particularly among the working classes , and no wonder . The balloting is just the old tyrannous system of pressing with a constitutional face . The government have had recourse to it simply because the people will not enlist . All kinds of evasory schemes are talked of—some talk of going to gaol , others , fonder of fresh air , of going on tramp , and all would very much like an article on the subject in the Star . —Dumfries , Jan . 13 th , _ISiG .

London. Metropolitan* District Council.—...
LONDON . Metropolitan * District Council . —This body met at the Chartist Hall , Turnagain-lane , on Sunday , January the 11 th . Mr . Hall , of the Tower Hamlets , was called to the chair . Mr . John Simpson moved " That this Council deem it advisable at this period that the Chartist body , in all its meetings throughout the kingdom , should take into consideration the subject of the Embodiment of the Militia , and that the people at such meetings should be requested to answer the following question— ' Ought any man , not having a voice in making the laws of the nation , to be called on to take up arms in defence of the nation V
iMr . Thomas Mills seconded the resolution , which was ably supported by Messrs . Rogers , Milne , Stallwood , and T . M . Wheeler , and carried unanimously . A vote of thanks was unanimously passed to Mr . Edmund Stallwood for the services he has rendered to the Council . Mr . Stallwood stated that , in accordance with a resolution passed b y the Council , a petition was now being got up jointly by the men of Hammersmith and Fulham , on behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also , one on behalf of W . Ellis ; and that each bid fair to be very numerously signed . A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman , the Council adjourned until Sunday afternoon , the 25 th instant .
Westminster . —A crowded public meeting was held at the Partheaium , 12 , St . Martin ' s-lane , on Sunday evening , January 11 . Mr . Buckley was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings . Mr . Milne reported that the Metropolitan District Council had that day passed a resolution calling on all localities to take up the subject of the militia , and also to answer the question , if any man who had no vote should carry a musket ' i He could only say his motto was— " No vote , so mubket ! " ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Thomas Clark , of the Executive Committee , was then introduced , and delivered an address on " the present state and future prospects of the people ' s cause . " Mr . Clark then very ably showed the present state of the
Chartist cause , and reviewed most lucidly the past and present doings of both factions—landlords and cotton lords—and demonstrated that they were both equally opposed to the progress of Chartism—equally opposed to the extension of the franchise to the mass of the people . Mr . Clark then powerfully elucidated the policy recommended by the rcceut _Cuartist Convention held in Manchester . That policy was , that Chartists should stand aloof from all parties at present , watch passing events , and take advantage of incidents as they arose . A time would come , and that shortly , when all their activity and united wisdom would be required , which well directed activity must ultimately lead to the establishment of the " rights of man ' , " as defined in the People ' s Charter .
( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark then showed the great progress made and making by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , not only in the manufacturing but also in the agricultural districts . The directors had recently established two flourishing districts , oue at Sudbury , and the other at Pershore . ( Hear , hear . ) The board had also an intention of agitating the labourers of Berkshire , Buckinghamshire , and Wiltshire , on the same subject . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark concluded a somewhat lengthy and eloquent discourse , and resumed his seat amidst great applause . A discussion then ensued , in which Messrs . Stallwood , Ford , Millies , Wheeler , and the lecturer took part , after which a vote of thanks was passed , by acclamation to _tbelecturer _, and the meeting dissolved .
IPSWICH . On Sundayeveninglastan adjourned meeting of friends favourable te the Chartist Co-operative Land Society was held in the Castle Inn , in this town , when a branch of the above association was formed , and nine shares taken . Our time of meeting is Tuesday , at half-past seven .
BRADFORD . At a meeting of Chartists , held on Sunday evening last at Butterworth-buildings , Mr . John Rogers in the chair , Mr . Thomas Cole proposed the following resolution : — " That we , the Chartists of Bradford , cannot sufficiently express our indignation at the baseness of Daniel O'Connell , in adding to his other inglorious titles that of " Comsios Informer " to the Tory Government , and especially towards our worthy and esteemed friend , Patrick O'Hi ggins , Esq ., to whom we tender our sympathy and thanks for his services to the people ' s cause , whilst we
accord our censure to the misnamed " Liberator (!)" for this crowning act to his former baseness and hypocrisy . " Mr . Walker Stead seconded the motion , and it was carried unanimously . The council have received sLv . collecting-books from Mr . Tkos . Cooper for the Veteran Patriots' and Exiles' Widows' and Orphans ' Fund , which will , no doubt , be attended to by them . No good Chartist can object giving his mite to such a praiseworthy undertaking . Surely such men as _Richards , Preston , and Davenport should not be allowed to end their days in an accursed bastile , nor the wives and children of " our absent friends" be allowed to starve .
MANCHESTER . On _Suulay last Mr . O'Connors letter , commenting on the arrest of Mr . O'Higgins , through the baseness of O'Connell , was read to the meeting , and caused great sensation ; after which the concluding part of the letter from the Augsburg Gazette was read , the audience responding to it by crying " that ' s true . " Then the chairman introduced the lecturer , Mr . E . Clark , cropper . The lecturer commenced by saying he would relate an anecdote : —An old man , once hearing a lecture in this hall , one Sunday evening , upon the value of co-operation , 'thoug ht proper to solicit another old man in his neighbourhood to join him in forming a fund to commence a co-operative store . He did so , aud each paid first week _fld
that would be Is . 6 'd . —thoy continued to subscribe Id . a week afterwards . After a time , thev got others to join them , and the result has been that in Droylsden , Ashton , Oldham , and another place ad . _jacent , this _cooperative society has opened no less than five co-operative stores , and has a capital of a thousand pounds . _ That , said the lecturer , is the value of co-operation . The lecturer next took a g ance at the various co-operations existinir , showing all hire Insurance Companies , Railway Companies , _Uas Works Companies , were so many cooperative societies . The lecture was an able one , and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and chairman , aud the meeting separated . Several shares in tho Land Society were taken up .
OLDHAM . On Sunday last Mr . James Leach gave a most spirit-stiiTiug lecture on the subject of "The nil riJ" tuc _achool-room of the Working Man ' s Hall . The room was crowded to overflowing , and the audience listened with great attention . After the lecture a number of persons took out shares in tho Land Society .

_FRAMEWOllK KNITTERS' MOVEMENT . An Act of Parliament which passed tlio Legislature on the « h of August last year , came into oparation on tlio 1 st instant ; but tliat being Thursduy _, and not a general delivery day . _at the warehouses , the hands generally worked the week out , as usual , in order tliat no comp laint might be made of the workmen ' s haste , knowhuj _. as they did , that the agents had not been provided by the manufacturers with tickets . Of course , the men expected that on Monday all would be prepared ; but in this the workmen have been deceived , for , in most instances , both employers and agents who gave tickets did not com ply with the forms laid down by law , butgave
tickets to servo their own purposes , demanding m many instances more work with no { advance of wages . This being refused by the hands , a meeting was convened , and a deputation appointed to wait on the mayor to request the use of the Town llall to hold a meetiug in . After conversing with the deputation , the Mayor deferred granting the use of the Hull until lie had 6 cen some of tlie other magistrates . The Mayor said it _wns > his opinion that the Ticket bill could not ba carried out—it guve _& o much trouble ; to the manufacturers . Tho workmen then determined to call a meeting by the bill _, man , which took place at the King George on Uorseback inn , and from thence adjourned to the Market-place . More than three thousand workmen were present , who adopted the following resolutions : —
" That we , the workmen employed in the frameworkknitting branches , in _public meeting assembled , do resolve that , whereas a law has been passed to compel manufacturers to deliver a ticket with the material to be wrought into hosiery goods , pledge ourselves to use every legal means to enforce the same , by bringing all manufacturers who refuse to obey the law , before a justice of the pence . And we will never rest satisfied until tho law is fully carried out . " " That whereas ' statements' havo been delivered by the workmen employed in the several branches oi the _franiework-knitting trade to the employtrs , we resolve to work to , and he ijuidcd by those statements . " " That , in order to encourage our fellow workmen to enforce the law against non-complying manufacturers , we pledge ourselves to support to th » utmost of our power those who may be victimised by such agent or employer for doing his duty , by contributions raised as a victim fund . "
" That , in order fully to establish a power whereby tho foregoing resolution may be carried into effect , we pledge ourselves to unite , and induce others to do so , without loss of time . " " Thatthe committee be empowered to take such steps as shall be deemed by them _bsst calculated to improve the condition of the workmen , by waiting upon persons whose influence may be deemed ofimportance in our present struggle . " " That these resolutions be _senate the press for insertion . "
_Tramework-knitters _, you are thrown out of employ _, ment by your employers for endeavouring to enforce the law of the land . These gentlemen , having a full knowledge of your sufferings—sufferings such as no other body of men arc enduring , and this , too , has been caused by the repeated reductions and exactions of your employers and their agents—by asking for work which they do not pay for ( such as is called "bump" ) , and this to the enormous weight of from two to seven ounces in a dozen of hose . You are , therefore , called upon to unite in selfdefence . Let no obstacle prevent you from so doingon your own strength you must depend 1 Nottingham , Jan . 7 th .

wrought into hosiery goods , setting forth the quality and quantity , fashion and price , for each description of work made ; and as such law has been passed for the purpose of giving protection to the operatives , and whereas our employers , first and second hand , have used every means in their power to evade the said . law , we do , therefore , pledge ourselves not to rest satisfied until that law be fully complied with by employers .

we , the workmen in meetiug assembled , wishing to establish one systematic weight and price according to statement , invite our employers to on interview .

He opened the business by stating , thatit was the determination ofthe power-loom weavers _, in every part of the manufacturing districts , to adopt such measures as wouldheuceforth prevent their masters from reducing their wages in time of depression , as they had'hitherto done ; and , therefore , it now rested with those present , as they had been sent there as the representatives of the weavers generally , to consider what
steps should be taken in support of tliat branch of factory labour . Considerable discussion followed as to the propriety of the formation of a general union of the whole body , when it . was afterwards resolved that a central committee , consisting of one delegate from each manufacturing town , should be formed , aad commence its sittings at Oldham ; that a code of rules or laws should be drawn up for the government of an union of the powerloom weavers throughout England , Ireland , and Scotland , and that immediate steps should be taken in the formation of the union . Iu order to effect this , it was agreed that local committees of the weavers in each town should bo forthwith formed , and that tliey bo requested to forward their views to the central committee , who hold their next meetiug on the first Sunday in February , Mr llichard Cooper , schoolmaster , of Oldham , having been appointed general secretary , the meeting , after a vote of thanks to the chairman , separated .

Lobdon Cobs Exchasoi, Mokday, Jan. 12.—T...
_Lobdon Cobs Exchasoi , Mokday , Jan . 12 . —The past week ' s arrivals of English wheat for our market were somewhat on the increase , but , comparatively speaking , of middling quality . Of barley the receipts were very large ; those of all other kinds of grain of home produce small . From Scotland and Ireland very little grain of any description came to hand , but the imports of foreign corn and flour were seasonably extensive . Fresh up to-day from Essex , a fair average quantity of wheat came to hand coastwise , as well as by land carriage . Owing to the caution evinced on the part of the dealers , most of whom were short of stock , the demand for all kinds of English wheat was in a very sluggish stato ; hence , to effect sales , the factors were compelled to give way in their demands . We have , therefore , to report a decline in the value of selected qualities of Is ., and in that of other kinds of 2 s . per quarter , at which amount of depression very little progress was made in clearing the stands . The show of free foreign
wheat was small , nevertheless the inquiry for that article was inactive , and prices had a downward tendency , though not to the extent to warrant us in altering our quotations . Corn under lock ruled almost nominal in value . The supply of barley being considerably more than equal to the wants of the trade , Jthe sale for that article was excessively heavy , at an abatement in the currencies of Is . to 2 s . per quarter , and a large portion remained unsold at the close of the market . Although the receipts of malt were good , the malt trade may be considered tolerably steady , at previous quotations . Notwithstanding the arrivals of' oats from Ireland , as well as our own coasts , were small , and the holders were generally firm from that circumstance , the oat trade must be considered inactive , at barely stationary prices . Beans and peas were in moderate supply , and heavy inquiry , at last week ' currencies . Flour moved off heavily , but no decline was submitted to by the millers .

Wheat was considered Id . to 2 d . per bushel . Hour Is . fld . per sack and Is . per brl . lower ; whilst oatmeal scarcely maintained the quotations of luesday . The business in the bonded market was small , but , owing more to the unwillingness of holders to make any concession in prices , no sales of wheat reported .
