Joint-Stock Banking, Begging And One Pou...
deliberately propounded by a great statesman ; a leading member of the Anti-Corn League , whose professed object is to inflict this calamity by r pealing the Corn Laws , and thus as tbey and thuir advocates say , reduce the price of all farming produce . Now I am at a loss to know how it can be reconciled to common sense that diminishing the price of farming produce by tbe suppression of onepound notes is a grievous calamity ; but diminishing the price of fanning produce by repealing the Corn laws will not be a calamity but a blessing .
We arc told by financial pedants that joint-stock banks on the wibc Scotch system will have the _effect of developing the internal resources of the country ; but they forget to tell what these internal resources are . The in ternal _resources of this country are , beef , mutton , pork , butter , wool , and corn ; and the development of these means additional facilities to raise and export them to Great Britein cheaper than they can he produced thereC . Joint-stock banks on tbe wise Scotch system is rare to do this ; and there is Tint « . _raftk-Tpnt or ab _^ pntPB landlord who "is not
directly interested in encouraging the introduction of ihis Scotch joint-stock bank system Joint-stock banks will no doubt afford . additional facilities for exporting these necessaries of life , for the want of which our own people who raise them are starring . "Will joint-Etock banks enable the poor hard-working labourer to eat beef and mutton , bacon and bread , as he ought to do ! No , not a bit of it ; but the Tery reverse . The increase of one pound notes will place those necessaries of life farther out of his reach . The rack-rent landlord , and his ally , the issuer of one-ponnd notes , will soon drive all the gmall tillage fanners cut of the country , have none occupying the land but great graziers , and overgrown farmers , aud slaves , who will , if possible , be forced to five upon potato skins .
It csn be demonstrated—in fact , it has been _incontrovertibly proven before—that if every adult in Ireland who dots not taste animal food more than two or three times a-ycar were to get bnt half a pound five days in the week during the year , we could not export a single ponnd of beef , mutton , pork , or bacon . What a pretty state this is for a country to be reduced to 1 It is _' high time for honest men to combine , and endeavour , to prevent professing patriotism from further pludering its deluded , eonfidiBg , and credulous dupes under She pretence of abolishing a Banking monopoly , while its obvious purpose is to get into its own hands and for its own » ro 5 t a far more odious and far more baneful monopoly than that which it Drofesses to abolish .
Bad as the Bank of Ireland is , it has the merit of be ng domestic . It is not an absentee "Bank . It -cm appoint its own clerks and its own porters without applying for leave to do so to a head in London It is not in banking establishments , in the palaces pf the rich , in large distilleries , or teetotal breweries , that men of sense and integrity lock for the prosperity of a country , bnt in the condition of the working classes , _^ nd there alone . —Give the people their political rights and the foundation of a nation's _hanDiness and prosperity will be laid .
In my opinion the whole system of banking should be utterly abolished . One-ponnd notes shcnld be immediately suppressed , and all banks of issue put an end to . When this system of banking is utterly _abolished , then , and not till then , will honesty , _industry , sobriety , and skill have their reward . Patrick _O'HiGarxs .

Birmingham.—An Open Air Meeting Was Held...
BIRMINGHAM . —An open air meeting was held here , at Duddeston Row , on Sunday morning last , at ten o ' olock , which was addressed by Mr . George White at great length . Mr . W . gave a general description of the state of the Chartist movement ia the various towns he had visited . He declared the principles of the Charter to be more deeply impressed on the minds of tho working classes than in the midst of greater excitement . Wherever the working men depended on their own energy , the cause was prosperous : but , in all oases where
they sought the aid of , or depended on , middle-men , there was nothing but endless quarrels and bickerings . They wanted the Charter to enable them to get rid of middle-class tyranny and profit mongering , tbat fruitful source of human misery ; and it was extreme . folly to expect those who plundered them in private life to join with them in their struggle . A petition against " Warburton ! s Anatomy Act" was read and unanimously agreed to . Mr . White declared his intention of removing from Birmingham in a short time , and residing in Yorkshire _, after which the meeting _ssparated .
Mondat Evening —Mr . White addressed a meeting this evening , at Duddeston Row , and again gave a lengthy definition of what ho meant by " whole hog" Chartism .

the very unfavourable state of tne weatber , a very numerous and respectable moetiug assembled and listened to one of tho most powerful aud _~ instructive lectures ever delivered , in the evening , the weather being so very cold , the meeting was confined to our own room , Bomber ' s Brow , when Messrs . J . and R . Wild , who have lately been liberated from _Knutsford prison , after nineteen months confinement , delivered each of them very instructive and powerful addresses in favour of the principles for which they have suffered . They both declared themselves to be more firmly attached to tho _princidIcb of Chartism than ever .
SA 1 FORD . —A lecture was delivered in the Charter Association Room , Great Goorge ' _s-street , Salford , upon the conduct of the House of Commons on the Ten Hoars' Bill , on Sunday evening last , by Mr . Wm . Dixon . The thanks of the meeting was given to the lecturer and chairman , and tho people dispersed , determined never to reBt _satisfied until tbe Ttn Hours ' Bill was carried , and the Charter thB law of the land . TODMORDEN . —BROWN , THE FREE Trade Candidate . —On Monday hst , Brown , the Free Trade candidate for South Lancashire ? viBited Todmorden , accompanied by the notorious Cobden . After the delivery of some most wretched twaddle dignified by the name of speeches , Mr . Horafall boot and shoemaker _, came forward , and requested permission to ask
Mr . Brown the following questions j out previous to asking them , he proved to the satisfaction of the assembly that Free Trade would not he beneficial under the present system of tnxation .- —Question 1 st , Will you vote for the Charter being made the law of tbe land ? An 3 wet—I am not perfectly aware what the Charter is ; but if you will explain it , I will tell you whether I will crnot . Mr . Horafall then said , Gentlemen , I am really surprised to find a candidate for Parliamentary honours who does not know what the _Charter is ; but I will for his instruction go through the whole Six Points contained in that document , and ask him separately whether he will support them . Then , Sir , ( said Mr . Horafall ) will you vote for every man who is twenty-one years of age not condemned by the laws of his country , and of sane mind , to have a
vote in the election of imembers or Parliament ? The answer was that the people were too ignorant to have a vote , and therefore he would not vote for that point . Mr . Horsfall called out at the top of his voice , Working men , he » aya you are too ignorant to have a vote . This caused Mr . Brown ' s friends to deny he had used the expression , and he said they were " not sufficiently intelligent in the agricultural districts to _ute the franchise " With a little more quibbling upon the point , they left tbat , and Mr . Horsf . ill then proceeded through the whole of the "Six Points . " The answers to some of them wew a plain "No , " and to others he did not sufficiently understand them to give a decided answer ; but he would be guided by his convictwoa upon hearing them discussed . Mr . Horsfall then asked him—would he .., _>?« < nr a T _« n Hours' Bill ? He hesitated a little and
then said , he thought that question was _settiea -, _duc that be did not think it would benefit the labourer , but tbe reverse . We understood him to say h » would not pledge himself to vote for it . Tbe next question wa 8 _ Would he vote for the repeal ef the new Poor Law ? In answer to this he said he was not in favour of aged people being , i separated in _bastiles . After having done questioning him , Mr . _HoiafaU made Borne very pointed remarks upon the answers returned to his questions , and requested the people to use their judgment upon the fitness of the candidate to represent them . Mr . . Cobden waa then introduced , and spoke for about a quarter of an hour , in bis usual style ; at the conclusion . Mr .-Brook came forward , to ask a few Questions . After a great deal of quibbling , he
did get permission . He said ho was not _satu-nea witn the answer given to the question put to the candidate ; would be ( Mr . Brown ) vote for a repeal of the new Poor Law ? Instead of answering it fairly he bad evaded it ; but he hoped Mr . Brown would state explicitly whether he would vote for its repeal or not . The same aaawer as before waa returned . Mr . Brook then said he , had a question to oak Mr . Cobdenwhat waa the reason he did not meet Mr . O'Connor , after- having challenged him to a discussion . Mr . Cobden said he had neser challenged Mr . 0 Connor , and that be could find better use for his time / and was clad Mr . O'Connor was opposed to them . Mr . Brook
then said he was sure Mr . Cobden bad challenged , rat . O'Connor no fewer than three times , at three different places , but that he durst not meet him . He had been requested by his _coDstitnenta at Stockport to meet him , and yet he durst not do so . Mr Cobden then got exasperated , and challenged Mr . Brook to meet him at Stockport . Thia created a roar of laughter . Mr . Brook said , I know Mr . Cobden you are a great boaster , but a very great coward at _bssart At tbe conclusion , the chairman called for three / cheers for Mr . Brown , but it would not take . _ThretJ cheers were given for Mr . O'Connor and the _Chattta , which made the welkin ring , again . ' Cobden aud Co . will nob forget their visit to _Todmstdss .

C 0 _NFFS 3 I 0 > - OF A MCBDEB COMMITTED MSB YeaBS' ago . —A report having been circulated in Colchester that a native of Polstead _, _Esstx . at present in the East indies , had been apprehended for having committed a murder nine or ten years back , and for which an _iDnscent man was hnng , we have ascertained tbe followin * particulars : —On Monday morning las ? , Sir Joshua Rowley , B-. rt , of _Steie-by-Njyland , received a _communication from Colonel Dear , of the 21 st Bfgiment of _Fasiliers , stationed in the East Indies , with the copy of the Ccnrt of Irqairy on a case which has caused a great _sensaf _' on in th -t regiment A short time back a young man of tlie name of William Towns , a native of Polstead , whilst on guard , mentioned to one of his c ;; _mrajipa that he was roost miserable and _wrenched , and
was _cetermined on committing _suiciGe _. or else ( pointing to a file of guns which wtre piled together opposite them ) he most shoot one of his efficers , or cemmit some deed in order that be might be bung , and that justice might be satisfied . His comrade advised him to get consolation from the minister of hia persuasion ; bat at this period of tbeir conversation three other soldiers cams np and ir qaired what it was that _prtyed so heavily upon his mind . He then told them , that nine years a _2 o , he went out poaching in _Hintlesham Wood -, that be murdered the _gamtyeepsr ; and that an innocent man was hnng for it , and he waB present at the execution , with James Hill , of the same regiment . Be added , that he had not been able _tr > rest for Etme time s and also stated that he saw
both the men in his dreams , and wab _hanntea oy _tneir _Tisions day and night , till death _won . d be Welcome to him in any shape . A court of inquiry followed , and the _soldierB severally deposed to the confession of the prisoner , who made no attempt to contradict them . It _appears that about nine years ago , the _gamekeeper and his _assHtant _, in the service of Miss Lloyd , of Hintlesham Kali , beard a party of poachers in the _prtserves _, aid when tbey got there , finding only three poachers , tbey attempted to take them into custody ; bnt they were violently attacked by the _poacners , and Eyam Green , the gamekeeper , was barbaronily murdered , his skull being literally dashed to atoms by a blow struck with a gun . which was left behind . A reward was offered for the _discovery of _*>»> _TnnwiPTer . and a man of the name of Chalker , a
French polisher , _lining at IpBWjcn , was apprenenaeo on the charge . At hia trial , the gun was distinctly _nrored to have been bis , as well as the dog which _Accompanied the poachers , and it was further proved that he was seen in tbe neighbourhood , drinking , before the-fatal affray took place . The evidence , although calculated to throw strong suspicion upon _Chalker , was purely of a circumstantial character , and it was a matter of doubt _whether the Government of the nay would allow hia execution to take place . However , in accordance with his sentence , the prisoner suffered the extreme penalty of the law , at Ipswich , _protesting b » innocence cf the mnrder to the last , bnt acknowledging having teen one of the party of _noachtrs . —Essex Standard .

it could have existed for so long a period without tbe interference of tbe neighbours . Mr . Ryder said that tbe door of tbe house , as they conld best learn , had not been opened for years , and , unable as they were to obtain any evidence on the subject , and fearful of getting into some difficulty , it had been sufFared to go on until the present moment . Mr . Burrell asked if they ha 4 ascertained who were tbe inmatea ? Mr . Byder replied , that as far as they could learn , it was occupied by a weman named _Pelham , who had been tbe kept mistress of some Noble Lord , and who had had two natural children by him , for which she received an allowance . It had been rumoured tbat one of these children , a son , was of unsound mind . It waa then agreed that an entrance should be made Into the
house without any previous intimation being given , l _« Bt that should frustrate tbeir object iu learning tbe real state of matters . Mr . Forbes , Inspector of tbe B division , was _accordingly desired to take a party of police with him and proceed to tbe house in question . Mr , Ryder , and the chief usher of the court , accompanied the police . On the return of the latter , at about half-past four , he communicated to Mr . Burrell the result of their visit to the house . He said , that tbey bad effected an entrance by getting over a side wall , and in at tbe back door , and , after much _hesitation , the back room on the first floor was opened by a female , when tbe most revolting scene that bad ever come within bis view during a very lengthened experience burst npon them . On a small straw bed lay
a poor human creature of tbe male _sex _. witboutone morsel of clothing more than old and filthy rags , which might be termed a shirt , and a small piece of flannel er blanket Beneath him was a hole rotted through tbe filthy Btraw eftbe bed , evidently by his own excrements , and maggots and loathsome vermin of every _dessrlption were crawling on his frame , which was so obscured by filth , tbat it waa almost difficult to discern him a human being . His beard reached nearly down to his middle , and his nails protruded some inches beyond bis toes . In a few minutes afterwards tbe police returned to the office , bringing with them a fashionably-dressed female , from fifty to sixty years of age , and a heavy working man about thirty . On being placed at tbe bar , the female save her name as Harriet Eleanor _Pelhsro , and the man
was described as her son , Wilson Pelham . Mr . Kyder , who waa deeply affected , said that such a spectacle as that tbey had just witnessed had very rarely been seen . He proceeded to describe it In substantially tbe same terms as those already given . He added , that after their admission , the poor creature , who was evidently a lunatic , was dressed , a portmanteau full of clean wearing apparel being brought from some other part of ths house , and he was theu put in a cab aud conveyed to the workhouse . The female at the bar said that tbe unfortunate man was her sen , and tbat he and bis brother ( Wilson Pelham ) ¦ were natural _children of General Spencer . In concluding his statement , Mr . Ryder expressed his surprise tbat the filth in the
room had not engendered some most fatal disease The female wretch attempted to justify her abominable conduct to tbe unfortunate lunatic . Mr . Burt ell said that it was a most -horrible and deplorable case . Tbe treatment of the mother and son who controlled tbe unfortunate man , had gone on uu'il tbey were callous to all feeling . The poor creature was now rescued and placed where every attention would be p dd him . D 9-fendants must stand committed in default ef finding heavy bail until Thursday , - when tbey might prodnce any evidence they thought fit The prisoners , who appeared surprised , said there waa nobody to look after tbeir house .

At the instant Cordery was thrown off , _seren _eoldiers ot tbe € 6 lh fainted away , and were carried to a garden opposite the jail , where they remained a considerable time before animation Was restored , and at the same time a dragoon fell from his horse in a swoon . In the fall bis face was severely cot . Cordery was 24 years of age , and was a native of Stoke , Buckinghamshire . He had only been five mnnfh « married .

Hickey was a stout man , apparently about _tbirty-six years of age , was married , and had no children . His wife was permitted to see him a few days since , to bid him farewell for ever , when , as we have been informed , tbe scene was truly affecting . Cooke was but a young lad , whoso education was altogether neglected , for he could neither read nor write , and was scarcely more than twenty . His father and mother are alive and reside in Clonmd . His mother and sister came a few days ago to seehim , and take their last and final adieu . At five mlnutea past one , tbe unfortunate men appeared on the droD . accompanied by the R ? v . Mr .

May the Lord have mercy on my soul . " Tbe unfortunate man ceased to exist in a few seconds , without even a straggle . Cooke , the yonnger bf the two by many _years , appeared less firm than bis companion , declared bis guilt , and acknowledged the justice of his sentence , and said there waa no one else concerned in the murder of Nowlan bnt himself and Moylan . He begged the prayers of the people , and after the drop fell he appeared to suffer much , hia body being frequently agitated with convulsive throes for seven oi fuht minutes .

following the example . Berry , who was near tbe spot , and who pays gi eat attention to the preservation of the morals of the people , shocked at beholding such disgraceful conduct as the above , took them into custody and placed them in the lockup adjoining the Buck Inn , where they were confined for several hours . Tbe cries of the poor girls , however , attracted the attention of the landlord , and he sent to the magistrate , who gave orders that they should be brought before him at his _reaidtBce , which they were ; and after having heard the circumstances of the case , he discharged them The conduct of Berry on this occasion has excited one general feeling of indignation throughout the village , the inbabitata declaring that if such conduct be allowed to pass unnoticed , it will be dangerous for people to IcjtvA their homes .
