      FORMATION AND OBJECTS OF THE GREAT NORTHERN UNION . In purroance of a resolntion past on Wednesday &eS 5 & of April , 1838 . at a general Tneehng of the Leeds "Working Men ' s Association , convened by advertisement , Mr- George White , in the chair : — The several persons appointed as a committee to anwr Tip tibe objecte and rules ^ ofan union to be called me Great Northern Union , met on Friday evening ^ , the 27 th instant , at the Northern Star office , in pursuance of the order of the meeting , irhen Mr . George Robertson was called to the chair , snd Mr . Feargns O'Connor acted as secretary , at which meeting your committee resolved upon the several objects to be contended for by the nmon und the roles for its management , rwbicltyonr committee has now the honour to submit for your consider ation .

      OBJECTS . First—That inasmuch as 'the Reform BDl has Mled to produce any practical henefitfor the w orbing daises , and , isasmnch as all unions of working men have hitherto been * duped by the two political factions alternately holding nsurped power in the state , the time has now arrived when a great struggle should be made by the people to induce the government to concede those political privileges , without which the working classes nt * er can hope to secure to themselves protection for life and property , or a just remuneration for their industry . Secondly—That as it is impossible to expect justice from a party in power and which power has arisen from andis perpetuated by the union of the few

      supported by force and plunder , and is used exclusively for the benefit of the p rivileged order , we deem it indispensable that a principal object shall "be "boldly to insist upon the adoption and legal recognition of a sew constitution suiting the great improvements of the age ^ baieduponM agnaChartaand the bill ofrights ; and inasmuch as those for whore protection ~ un ! on is necessary , have been deprived of the right of nominating their own representatives , and whereas the right of aprc at , which was throughpetition , hss been virtually abrogated , one of the chief objects of the great Northern Union , will be to restore the right of Suffrage to every male adult not tainted -with crime , and of sound mind , and the right of petition to all . A third object to which pnbhc attention should be

      -mrectedps , that an extensive incorporation of the ¦ working classes , will afford to every inan an opportunity of taking advantage of those " means for urging ^ oputar demands , which union , well advised , never jails to effect . 4 . A further object to which your committee feels confident the energies of theunion will bedirected , is the adoption of . somesound and practical means of opposing the strong arm of virtuous organization to the unjnst administration of bad laws , and that men will discover the absurdity cf submitting " to the mal-administration of things as they are , while they attach all importance to a complete change in our political system . Your committee , therefore , encourage themselves to believe , that the union will meet oppression , and strangle it when ever it presents itself . Another object of the Union is , in order to create a good feeling among the several trades , mechanics and other working classes , to establish a thorough

      conviction in the minds nl all , that there can be no separate interests in a community so politically , and socially bound together as the working classes of this great empire ; and to inculcate a knowledge of the fact , that "when one of a community is oppressed the whole community is oppressed , through the suffering of one of its members . Fifthly . Another object which should be kept prominently in "view , is the- absolute necessity of being prepared to meet any injurious results which may be entailed upon the industrious classes , by a partial decision of a committee -of capitalists now sitting upon the question of Trades Unions , and that no time should be allowed to intervene between the snbjagation of one Union , and-theperfect organization of another , which shocld be ready to supply the place of that wiich avarie * marked , " and oppression may overcome .

      Sixthly . That the last , but not the least object which jour committee confidently anticipate the great Is orthern Union will constantly keep in view , is the uniting together , upou the general principle of justice , aD those who though lovmjj peace , are resplved to risk their lives in the attainment of their ri g hts . Your committee do , therefore , deem it expedient , that before joining the union every member should distinctl y understand , that in the event of moral force failing to procure those privileges which the constitution guarantees , but which a party

      would abrogate ; and should the constitution be inraded , it is resolved that physical force shall be resorted to if necessary , in order to secure the equality of law , and the blessings of those institutions wHch are the birth right of freemen . That as ~ the object of yielding allegiance , is to receive protection , llie fact of-mthnoloing protection is a violation of the bond , which shouldbind subjects to a monarch ; and therefore , the union should recognise no authority save that which emanates from the . legitmate source of all honour , namely , from the people .

      ^——PUBLIC MEETING AT KEIGHLEY ON THE FACTORY QUESTION . On Monday a public meeting of the Inhabitants of Keighley was holden in the Hall of the Radical Association , Upper Green , for the purpose of considering the present . condit ion of Factory Workers , and the proposed alteration in the Factories' Regulation Act to be effected by the Bill of Mr . Fox Maule . The meeting w ? . s convened at a brief notice by the town crier . The importance of thesubject , however , and the deep interest necessarily felt therein by the labouring population , supplied the lack of more effective means of advertising , and a goodly number of operatives thronged the Hall , that their opinions on this long agitated subject , "which

      most of them have painful reason to understand so well might be again recorded . Mr . D . W . Weatherhead basing been unanimously called to open the business of the meeting in a short but effective speech , the substance of which was that he had the more pleasure in acceding to their re -qnest , that he would occupy the chair on that occasion , because he recollected that he had the honour of being chairman at the first meeting ever holden in Keighley for the agitat ion of this question . Thev ha 1 now thought fit to place him again in that position , and his fervent prayer was that this might be the last meeting necessary to be holden on the subject—that so he might be ' the Alpha and the Omega of this agitation in the town of Keighley . It -was

      indeed high time that the chafing of our blood should cease—that the monstor should relax the fellness of his grasp , and allow his victim to breathe freely and securely . It "was not accordant ¦ with his views of order and propriety for a chairman to occupy much time with a discussion of the subject they had assembled to consider . Resolutions relative thereto had been prepared and would be submitted to their notice by speakers , who , he had no doubt , would place them before the meetingin an intelligiblelight . He then called on Mr . Joseph Firth , who moved the first resolntion , " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the Bill for Regulating the Labour of Children and Young Persons in Factories , brought in by Mr . Fox Maule , is

      unsatisfactory and deceptions . " Mr . _ Firth conld not take exactly the position of their worthy and excellent Chairman .. He had not been the first speaker at the first meeting on this subject in Jvtighley , though he had the honor of being allowed on that occasion to lift up his voice in company with bis fellow townsmen in denunciation of the horrors and tbff injnstice of the factory system , of which he nad bad eight yeare sorrowful experience . He had on that occasion been permitted to supply the unexpected vacancy of a reverend gentleman who , having promised to move a resolution was , from * ome cause , absent . If he recollected rightly , this was now six years ago and it appeared to him to be a very hard case fhat they should be still called upon ( after all

      the evidence which had been adduced , and all the discussion which ; had occurred . ) to reiterate their opinion that children ought not to labourmore than ten hours daily . He would not attempt to conceal hi 3 opinion that if this question had beenjtaken up in earnest by ths cfcrgy , and the ministers of various denominations , it would havfrbeen perfectly settled , and on a footing much more advantages te suffering infancy , long ere this . It did £ eem to him : a most inconsistent tiling that the bowela of compassion witlvwhica priests of everykhadhaibeen so liberall y sttpphea , were incapable of sympathy onl y in- behalf of objecte at an immense distance jrom immediate observatiKL He blamed , not ministers of the gospel for the earnestness with

      which their imratekmed eloquence was poured forth in pleading the cause of unhappy negro . God forbid that it-should do so . But he could not avoid looking with guspirion on - the sincerity , of those who thus nowermlly moved by contemplating oppression , wine mighty oceans trolled between them and the objects of their com-. passion , could yet look with apathy on misery and -rZSBverjr « ad" oppression in their immediate neieh -bonrhood . ( Hear , hear . ) He recollected Mr . BanUs ixaring , m reference to commercial policy , observed that we must not aim at retrograding , but at moving forward . -Now ,,- the desirableness of backward or forward movement seemed to him to depend entirely upon which "way they might happen to be going He recollected mat when" hfi ' »«»» factory

      of Iris-audience , and conjured them to be united " for the eserdse . and . enforcement of that jwinciple of charity which regards \ all men ai entitled to the rights of health , lpe ^ and freedom , which , he averred to be greatl y abridged by the baneful operation of the factory system , man unrestricted condition ; and on which account it was their duty to watch most carefully "" over the restrictions that had been placed upon it ( from . whatever motive ) that they might be rather increased than lessened . ' . The resolution having been put from the chair , was carried unanimously . ¦ .

      The second resolntion— "That m the opinion of this meeting , no alteration ought to be permitted in the present Factories' Act , "which yill abolish the education clauses , or which would extend the honrs of labour for- children under thirteen years to more than eight-hours , or that of persons-above thirteen years of age to more than ten hours daily , under any circumstances , " wasmoved by Mr . James Bedford in a lengthy . and animated speech-7-describing the Bill as being rank Whiggery from end to end- —as slippery as an eel in the hand . The former clauses . ot it provided that children should not be received into the mills unless they

      could read , and that young persons should not be received unless they could read well ; while the latter clauses provided that the inspectors might grant licenses to the miflowner in case of necessity—to employ children who could not read at alt Now there could not be any doubt that the " necessity " would occur whenever trade was brisk and the demand for hands was great—and that whenever a slack trade came they would find it convenient to bring the reading clauses into operation—thus would their hypocrisy be furnished with a fresh excuse , and they would be turned off and set on by law , just a * as the mffiownerV ' . necessity" might chance to demand .

      Mr ; Thomas Kkowxes seconded the resolution , which was . carried unanimously ; one person having previously suggested that the words '; ought not to be permitted , should be substituted by" shall not be permitted . " This was not seconded and the resolution passed in its original form . The Rev . W . Hill , from Hull , moved " That the following Petition be adopted by this meeting , signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting and forwarded to Sir George Strickland for presentation , and that I / ord Morpeth and Edward Baines . Es q ^ be respectfnlly requested to support its prayer . " The petition to which the resolution refers and for which we cannot afford space was then read by the speaker and supported by afew pithy and appropriate observations , after which having been seconded by Mr . Gilmtt Sharpe , it was carried nnanimously . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and to Mr . Hill , and the meeting separated . *

      HOUSE OF LORDS , Friday , April 27 . Their Lordships assembled this day after the Easter recess . The Lord Chancellor took his seat at five o ' clock . The Marquis of SLIGO and other Peers , presided anumberof petitions in favour of the total abolition of slavery . In answer to a question from the Earl of WNCHELSEA . Lord MELBOURNE said that neither Turton , nor any other professional gentleman , had as yet been appointed legal adviser to the ' Earl x » f Ihirham on his mission to Canada . "

      The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented several petitions praying for an alteration of the lawrelating to copyright . Adjourned at a quarter before sax o ' clock . Monday , Apr ' d 30 . Lord LYNDH . URST inquired whether it was the intention of the Government to renew the Order in Council regarding the enlistment of British subjects in the service of her Majesty the Queen of Spain . Lord MELBOURNE repeated the answer , that any renewal ef such order was not contemplated . Lord LYNDHURST thereupon remarked , that , by the Foreign Enlistment Act , British subjects wonld subject themselves to a severe penalty , by entering into or continuing in foreign service , without the license of the Crown ; and that he

      understood that many persons now in the service of the Queen of Spain intended to continue in such service after the 8 th of June . Lord MELBOURNE observed , that although it was not the intention of the Government to renew the Order in Council , it would be a matter for the consideration of the advisers of the Crown , whether a special license should not be granted to those who intended to continue in the Spanish service . The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said , he thought that this was an admission of the entire failure of the policy of the Government in regard to Spain . - Lord MELBOURNE rejoined , that the Noble Lord might draw what inference he pleased , but that he begged leave to protest against any such inference .

      The Earl of LONDONDERRY inquired whether there was to be any alteration of the time fixed for the coronation , and whether the coronation was to be conducted agreeabl y to the former plan . Lord MELBOURNE answered that it was intended to defer the coronation for a day or two , but to iix it in tie same week , the postponement being in consequence of an objection to the day as the anniversary of the death of George IV . He did not think there was much weight in this objection , inasmuch as there , was hardly a day in the year that might not be traced to be the anniversary of some melancholy event . With regard to the second question , it was not the intention to depart ' , from the ceremonial as annonnced in the proclamation : by adhering to it , precedent would notbe violated , while fatigue to her

      majesty ani expense to the country would be avoided . The Earl of SHREWSBURY gave notice that , on May the 8 th , he should bringlorward a motion on the subject of the correspondence that had taken place between the Bishop of Malta , the court of Rome , &c . The Earl of WIXCHELSEA said he understood that Mr . Turton had sailed for Canada , and inquired whether he had done so at the public expense , and with the cognisance of government . Lord MELBOURNE answered that if Mr . Turton had gone to Canada , and he believed that such was the fact , that individual had proceeded without appointment , or the promise of any " jmblic" appointment , from th * government or Earl Durham . Thejoutine business having been disposed of , their lordships adjourned .

      Tuesday , May 1 . The Poor Relief f Ireland ) Bill , was read a first time and ordered to be read a second time on Monday , the 14 th . Earl STANHOPE presented petitions from nu « merous places in the county of Kent against the Poor Law Amendment Act . The Noble Lord read a letter from a clergyman in the parish in West Kent , confirming the statements ofthe petitioners as to the unhappy working of the Bill , and denying thestatements of a petition recently presented to their Lordships from the chairman ,, deputy chair

      man , and magistrates , of that division of the county . The writer stated several instances of Buffering , and even increased mortality , in the union workhouses , under tile severe operation of the act . The clergymen in his neighbourhood all concurred with him in condemning the harsh and unchristian working of the act . Tney were unlike a Right Rev . Prelate . ( Alaugh . ) - Earl H ARD WICKE asked- Was it the intention of $ he Noble Earl to refer the petition to the Poor Law Committee ? "

      Earl STANHOPE was understood to reply in the negat ive . Viscount SIDNEY said that the petition presented by him from the chairman and deputy chair ^ man of the West Kent Union , did not profess to be the petition of the guardians . Earl STANHOPE said , that in the event of a committee being appointed to inquire into the working of the Poor Law Amendment Act , he would produce before it , as a witness , the clergyman whose letter he had read , and who would prove more cases of the cruel , unconstitutional , and unchristian working of the act than the House could get through in a session . ( Alaugh . ) One of these was that of a man who killed himself in consequence of the treatment he suffered in the workhouse . A coroner ' s jury brought in a verdict of temporary insanity . out it to

      ougnt nave been wilful murder against the oppressors of the poor , who drove the man insane . ( Laughter . ) Another case was that of a young woman , who was flogged like a toldier . ( Hear ) Hejioued that the committee would inquire into all these facte , and that the Poor Law Commissioners ^ rould assist the inquiry . Voluminous as the motion was , it ought to have included mataj other inquirieK and especially those which had fecfl ^ g the subjects of pubne notoriety .

      had already occurredunder the new poor law m . ?« Bure . Their lordship * Irere aware of ; the repbrte which liad i \ ppearedin the publio-jpurnals respe ^ ng the Bridgewater nniojii -If those reports weretrne , there must have been very great neglect on the part of the guardians of that union . It wa « said lhat many of the paapers had-been ^ seriously injure ^ in their health , and that some of them had been nearly poisoned by the food which had b « n there adminis tered to them . If such an ! occurrence had taken S lace , the punishment which would have bean in ? icted would . have prevented a repetition , pT the offence . Thinking the law already sufficient ^ U Was not his intention to propose any new law foritfM ^ cprrection of nuch abuses as those to which he refenred TT '*« ¦ i ' - ' ' * 1 t -t ¦ - ' til * ¦ - ' '

      .. * .... * . . . iie tnougnt tnat in tne exercise oi tne . extraor | Uhary and most despotic powers given to the commissioners , seme departures from the law of the . lahd had bjccurred .. The noble and learned lord then proceeded to poin ^ t out some " , of the cases in which there had been an upconstitutional exercise " pf authority . He particularly dwelt on the regulation which so generaDr prevaued of refuging out-dopr relief to ablebodleu paupers when they have applied for it ; He inaintamed that such a regulation was contrary to the letter and spirit of the law of the land ,, and his ( Lord Wynford ' s ) measure would propose as one ! amendment of the new poor law , that the guardians should not > be compelled to refuise reliefunless the pauper accepted it in the workhouse , but that

      tney should have work found for them , or relief be granted them if woik could not be found . This was not only clearly the law of Elizabeth , bat it was a doctrine sanctioned by our most eminent legal authorities . If thejmuper refused work when offered to him , ttien he ( Lord Wynfprd ) ' would propose that themagLsb-ates , on the representation of the circumstances to them , should have the power of sending him to prison for three months . He ( Lord Wyuford ) conceived that this clause would at once have the effect of securing either employment or relief to these able-bodied paupers who could get no employment for themselves , and compel the indolent to

      accept of work when offered to them . The next clause of his measure proposed to afford the guardians of a workhouse the means of procuring employment for those able-bodied paupers who applied to them for relief . It would also provide that such work as was suitable to the capacity and previous employments of the parties so applying for relief should be ' procured . At present there was no means of getting work for able-bodied paupers in the workhouse . He ( Lord AVynford ) , infirm as he was , had lately visited three workhouses for the purpose of ascertaining the the state of matters in this respect , and the fact was as he had stated .

      . Lord RADNOR . —Are there able-bodied paupers in the workhouses which the Noble and Learned Lord has visited ? Lord WYNfORD would give the Noble Lord a plain answer to his question . He found a number of able-bodied paupers in the places he visited , t « ome of them l ying on benches , and others idling about m various parts of the establishment . ( Hear . > He proposed , as one of his amendments , that a certain qnantity of laud should be purchased by the guardians , contiguous to the workhouse , iii which the agricultural labourers could be employed . He proposed to repeal that part of the act which conterred such extraordinary power !? on the

      comguardians in particular cases . He proposed that the guardians should have the power of making up the difference between the wages of able-bodied labourers and paupers . He likewise proposed that instead of draggins in a man ' s whole famDy to the workhouse when he applied for relief , "tnat the guardians should have the power of taking a certain number of them off the applicant ' s hands , and educate and bring them up themselves . With regard to the bastardy law , he ( Lord Wynfdrd ) must say that it was a most unjust Uw , ana led to the commission of some abominable crimes . He proposed that in the first instance every case should be sent to the magistrates , instead of to the sessions , where

      the woman ' s statement would be heard , and whore she would be " allowed to swear , to the be 4 of her be lief , as to the father of her child , but not compelled to swear positivel y to the fact , which , in many cases , was forcing her to commit- perjujry . He would also propose , that the magistrates should have the power of calling witnesses to substantiate her statements . He was aware that in many cases no confirmatory evidence could be produced ; but there were instances in which it could . CircuiHst « nces could be brought forward , and facts proved , which would go far to substantiate the woman ' s statements . He ( Lord Wynford ) now came to the ckuse which compelled the mother to support her child . That was a horribly unjust clause . ( Hear ,

      near , trom fcarl htanhope . ) He had lately heard of three girls , of fifteen or sixteen years of age , who had become the mothers of children to young men of twenty-five or twenty-six . Now , he would ask their Lordshi p * whether it was not most unjust to compel the mothers in such a case to gupport their children ? He proposed that authority should be given to the magistrates to compel one or both , according to circumstances , to support the child . He would also propose , that during the first year after the birth of the child it should be left with the mother , she being the fittest to have the care of it in the first instance . ( Hear . ) Afterthe first year had expired , he thought it would be better to send it to the workhouse . Another provision of his

      ( Lord Wynford ' s ) bill was , that no union should extend more than ten mile * from the workhouse . He did not propose this alteration in the case of any of the existing unions , but only in those which should be formed in future . Another clause of his bill bad for its object securing the poor against being nubjected to the hardship of being sent a distance to the guardians , and then not admitted after all , by rendering it compnlsoTy on them to make a certain allowance in the 8 hape of paying the expenses of their joiirney One alteration which he proposed to make in the present law was , that the unions should at . their expense find beer for the old people and infirm in the workhouses . This would place those unfortunate individual ? in the situation in some respect to which

      they had been accustomed in the former periods of their lives ; for although in the agricultural counties : the wages of labourers were not as high as those given in the manufacturing districts , yet the agricultural labourers were accustomed to have beer , and to deprive them of that which they were accustomed to all their lives , and to change thus their habits of llvm g > was a great grievance . For this reason his bill contained a clause to remedy it . yhere was anoflier part of the present law for whifeh he could not find any reason whatever . A parent orarelative , or an old master , was not , under the present system , a \ lowed to give to the pauper in a workhouse any additional allowance as regarded bedding or provision , or any little comforts which miirht take from

      the difficulty of their position . These parties were not allowed to give any little presents to paupers in . workhouses , and to this effecthe might mention one fact relative to a poor girl in a union in Kent , who was desirons to give her aged mother in the workhouse a seed-cake , but was prevented . ( Hear . ) In all such instances parties were told that such matters were contrary to regulations , and that the law must be earned out in all its severity . What he ( Lord Wynford ) proposed thereof was that any person might contibute to the comforts of a pauper in a workhouse , in the shape of good bedding or liquora , not spirits , in quantities which would not lead to intoxication . There was another clauge which he would propose , but which he did not yet know was necessary—it was to separate persons in workhouses who were

      infected with disease from those who were nbt . He was aware that in the uiiion of the Noble Lord below him , such a provision existed ; but it was not so in many which he ( Lord W . ) had visited , and infection was thus spread through thccommunity by persons termed trampers , who remained for a short tune in a workhouse , and then left it infected . But there was a statute , he believed 40 th Geo . Hfi , which gave tJ magistrates the power to report to sessions , who had authority to prevent the infected from mixing with those who were hot infected in workhouses ; but he was riot sure that this statute had not been virtually repealed . If it were not , the power could not be better placed than in the hands of the magisfrates ; but he would allow his clause to stand until this was shown ; and he hoped that if the . law irtill existed what had passed would teach them that tnev shnnm pYor ^ Ba tna » an ^ A . ;« tt _

      trusted , then , that the bill would be permitted to go thToughaU its stages to a committee , where its detaus wonld be rendered as perfect as possible Again , there was another grievance in the present system ; it a man apphed for relief , arid had any EWj * k ¦ ¥ ¦ ^ " ^ » firom him : but he ( Lord Wynford ) thought that on a party leiving a worihouse , of on his death , such property should be restored to him orgive 9 -to ^ wpre ^ ntatives . He hadndUhoweyer , i > rop ^ ped ; + clwiie ^ t bii effect , but would do so at » futau » stage of the bffl . Marit other clauses had been sngtested t ^ him , but he ? otdd propone that toe bill riioold bftread a second tane at a distant oayj and he wduW ^ be happy to receiyeanyTraggestions -which wpuH-tendvto-render the measure more perfect -He considered that there f »» . ? 9 * 3 ectjnore worthy the consideration of their Jordflhipa than one for ftt ainelioatiori of the
