Sebious Accident . —On ^ Friday afternodh , as i man named Godfrey Hutchingon , pipe maker , Pellon-lane , in this town , was riding a horse , sot ikr from his own house , he fell from his seat , and jerionsly injured his head . His life was for some ame despaired of , but hopes are now entertained of lit recovery . BoiBB of Gu & . BDIAXS . —At the Court of Request * , in this town , the weekly meeting of the ibove Board took place on Friday last , when twelve of the elected ^ uaidianp , and three of the tx official were present , namely , Messrs . "Water-Bouse , Pollard , and Ralph . A . Power , the assistant poor law commissioner , wan prtsent . J .

      Waterhouse , E « = q . chairman of the Board , preaqed , md after the usaal preliminary business was gone through of reading over nonces of marriages , &e . Mr . Cbadwick ' s valuation of Rishworth township was pres-nted to the Board . Mr . Little presented x vaiuation by Joseph "Wilson , of various articles in the town ' s workhouse , such as wooden bedstead ? , Stc ., upon which a conversation arose respecting them , and iron bedsteads got the preference in lieu of those antique ones so generally in use ; the old fashioned ware will of course , have to be disposed ef in tne best way they can adopt . Messr * . Ralph , Baxter , and Little , are appointed to inspect the thrte workhouses belonging to the union , with power to reserve any article that might be of use , ind Mr . James Wilson is to take a valuation of th ?

      furniture in each workhouse ; the overseers of such townships as have workhouses are to dispose of l&eir old furniture , and should any dispute arise as to thejjrility of any particular article in the three irorkhouses , the matter in dispute is to be brought before the board , and thus decided . Messrs . B . Hartley and Lister waited as a deputation froin the quarterly board of the infirmary , to ascertain irheiier the board of guardians would conceive it proper to comply with their rules , 64 and 65 , relating to tbe support which would be demanded from from the board , on a patient , who was charge * bleto the trrarn , being admitted into the infirmary . Mr . B . Hartley stated that tbev had two patients in the

      iaSnnary , one from Elland and the o . her from K ¦ rlaBd , who were chargeable to their townships , the person from Ella-ad had been in ten weeks , and tbt oiber from ^ Norland was admitted the previous ¦ week . After some discussion it was decided that te rnles were satisfactory to the board , Mr . Power observing that tiny ought to avail themselves of the infirmary according to the rules , but that each case that ¦« as admitted ought to be reported to the next m-. t-r . ng of the board . The memorial from Sowerby we ? also brought forward before the board , " 5 b wlm-h they oViject to the removal of their paupers , s = d to tbe giving up of tbeir workhouse on the fol-Jowicg jrrounds : —that the overseers rent a piece of

      lasd of 36 days work , for the value of £ 48 per annum , and that the weekly maintenance of their paupers in 1835 , cost 2 * . 4 d . a-head weekly ; in 1 B 36 , 1 > . IC-id . ; in 1837 , 2 s . 4 d . ; and in 1838 , 2 s . 4 | d ., which form a part of their reasons . for the the non-abandonment of their workhouse . Mr . Pollard stated that be had visited Elland workhouse , E 2 J found that there was 38 inmates , and roomfor to hold 13 more bt dstead--, which would accommodate 26 paupers , and thought that these ought to be immediately ordered together , with bedding , &c . so that Barkisland and Stain ! and workhouses , triGch cave about 20 paupers in them , may be re-E » red to Elland . He stated that he had been told

      try Mr . liYiikirtson , of Brow Bridge , who had inspected tbe workhouse with him , that by taking off tee roof and making it another story higher , it might be made to hold 200 individuals . Mr . P . then intimated that the subject of building a new workhouse must be brought before them , or the alteration of the old ones suggested , and that he iEteodrd giving notice to that effect . After some 3 e > -nkory conversatisn had taken place , in which the Sowerby memorial and Xllaod workhouse formed alternate topics , Mr Baxter came forward to correct an error which had been attributed to Mr . Beacmonr , and had found its way into one or both of the newspapers in this town , respecting Sowerby irorkbouse , in which it was " stated that one of tbe inmates in that workhouse , an infirm old man , had heen seen with icicle * hanging to hisbair , in

      eonsejpence of the dilapidated state of the building , and being exposed to tbe inclemency of the weather , where it ought to have been hanging above his bead . Mr . Poliard said that he had understood Mr . Beaumont to have made such a statement . Mr . Foster , one of the guardians for Sowerb y , moved , and Mr . " ^ i ainhouse seconded , that the occupation of Sowerby workheuse be not given up , and that the inmates remain there until the expiration of tbe present enrrent _ year . Mr . Pollard moved that the original morion remain as an amendment , that tbe removal of paupers from the Sowerby workhouse be still in force . Mr . Appleyard seconded Mr . P . ' s amendnpiit , and on the motion anc the amendment being put froin the chair , seven appeared on each side . Tbe chairman afterwards gave hi 3 casting vote in btcut of Mr . P . ' s amendment—the memorial was

      consequentl y rejected . During the discussion tbe chairman stated that the memorial was not signed oj ^ y of the principal inhabitants , which it is JBpptfc-ed was a snmc-ient reason for Mm voting as he uid , a * ht stated he bad good reason for knowing t % dissented from it . Mr . Pollard moved , and Hr . Little seconded , that 13 bedsteads be ordered fo EUand workhouse prior to the removal of the paper * from Barkisland and Stainland workhouses » the above place . Mr . Baiter objected to this on »» ground that if it was found necessary to make ssy alteration * , they would , by having the workiwise crowded , be put to considerable inconvenience —and he moved a 3 an amendment that before any osis be obtained or paupers removed , the necessary iterations be made ; it was seconded by Mr ¦

      iu 5 , ^* T _ QTln rvr * tno CrinviT r \ f V ^ onrio eafon ~ nm ^ A * V » e » l / 5 ra 5-er , and on the show of hands , seven were held ? for the amendment , and four against it . Mr . ' s amendment was consequently carried . Mr . yaJDhoase complained of tbe business of his town-J 2 p not having been properly attended to , in conference of Mr . Highley , tbe assistant overseer , k&vhg more business to attend to than he can persona . Mr . Highley appeared before the board , and stated t&at . it was impossible for him to attend to Skircoat in addition to the town , as he ought to * &end to it . This being a matter of emergency , it * £ * ordered that Skircoat , as being tinder tbe same '" sseer , be detached from Halifax , and that Mr . Sigttley continue the overseer of the town alone .

      ¦^ assistant overseer for Skircoat will be appointed « uie Dtxt meeting of the board . Mr . Pollard hav-E g absented himself at the close of the discussion , » ° ffie donbts were entertained as to whether he had ?

That we approve of the system of arrangements for united labour and expenditure recommended by the Association of all Classes of all Nations , " and the " ^ National Community Friendly Society ; " and not only do we approve of the principles as laid down for the government of those societies , but we do not at present conceive any better or more useful plan to be adopted for

      removing the burthen from the shoulders of the labouring millions as that contemplated , by carrying out the principles of those associations so as to effect their emancipation from thraldom and misery . The public agitation , which has now been carried on for some time , are proofs of national distress , and the discussions arisu . g therefrom , of the want of some master minds to direct the affairs , whose knowledge and previous investigation of these matters might serve better to d rect the public mind in the attainment of that object , that labour may be better rewarded , and ultimatel y secured from those dangers to which at present it stands liable .

Exactly the same ground applied tome Lrowu colonies as to the chartered coloiiies . ftitn ^ ar UMfrnction * to those sent ' oat to the chartered colonies had been forwarded to the Crown colonies , and he had no doobt that they would be

      acted upon b y the local authorities , who would legislate in the same spirit as the former had legislated . He was happy m being able to state that in fact , the Legislatures of tbe Crown colonies had followed the examples set them by the Legislatures of the chartered colonies ; for , in addition to the information alluded to by , the Noble and Learned Lord , similar sat ,.. factory accounts had lately been received from Ijrt-nada , and also from the Bahamas ; and further that in some of the Crown colonies the Governors intended to submit to the Legislative bodies acts oi the same nature as those which had been carried elsewhere , and that no doubt was entertained of their success .

      Lord MELBOURNE replied , that he had received ho information on the subject of the appointmeut alluded to ; that it was true that Sir John Coiborne had resigned , but that he was not aware of any alteration in the condition of Canada , that cailed for an increase of troop * there . Lord L 03 D 0 NDEKRY asked whether any steps had been taken by the Spanish Government lo ' r the immediate payment of the arrears due to the British Legion ?

      — m — - —— ¦ GREAT MEETING AT BARRHEAD WITH FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Ksq . Dr . Taylor having appointed Thursday last , the l' 2 rh inst ,, for delivering his lecture to the Working Men ' s Arisociation of th s spirited viila ) ie , expectation was on th « tiptoe , but was infinitely increased when it was known on the morning in question . 'that Feajgus O'Connor wds to accompany the Doctor . Mr , Walker ' s tarfie hall in the Barrhead Inn , ba , vitiji'b «> . u found totally inadequate to contain a tithe of those anxiously tiovding in , an adjournmeut to the ' open court took place , and shortly after eight o ' clock the Chairman ot the Association , Mr . Peter Clarke , printer , ascended the steps amid repeated chetrini ; from ti . e assembled multitude .

      TheCHAtRMAN said they had been called together to htar a lecture tVom Dr . John Taylor , aiid he now called upon him to come forward . Dr . Taylor . advanced amid renewed acclamation , and observed that he con-idered Working Men ' s A ** Qc-iat ous . i s the bulwarks of tbe people against the tyranny of the Aristocracy . He had been in-Mruinmtdl in the formation of many of them , and he alwavs con .-idered it his duty to give his aid to them wtien called upon . He was glnd to see the people at length acting upon the advice he had long

      hjjo . tendered to them , and taking their affairs into their own hands . He w ; is prepared to go on with his lecture , and should be happy to redeem his |) le : ^ e , hut he . considered that the opportunity of h : inginj ; among them the best , the mo-t taltnted , and the nii'sc dettrinii . ed Radical in England—his t : nrlmchiiij . ' friend Fvargus O'Connor— ( iireat . cheers ) —should not be lost . He proposed therefore to delay his Itcture till unoiLer opportunity , ' aud , witli their permission , he now beg ; ed to introduce to them th-. it tried and trusted friend .

      Mr . O'Connor came forward amid repeated cheers . Mr . Chairman and friends : I ; an delighted at i his opportunity of witnessing the spirit and determination of the men oi Barrhead , aud the oi ; ly thing I' reuret is depriving you of the lecture of my esenind fiend , that eloi | Uetit aud indefatigable Democrat , John Taylor . ( Cheers . ) Yot have gaino . ; nothing during the last seven years of legislation ; ¦ or all chiitif . es have been in favour of the Aristocrat- } , and all new . Uws against the people . It is only uhi n _\ ou have the power of voting for a represiut . i ' . ive ihat you are withiii the pule of the con . stituti'iti ; and , when notso , the experieuc-e of the past may ' teach you that a our rights are invaded , your

Compare tire palaces of \ our Kings and the houses of your Aristocracy a century back , with .-the sjo r ^ eou .-i ' MructUres they now reside in ; compare the tl . eii inamitr ol their lives with the luxurious present , : i . r . d ste how itnnieusely their comforts and luxuries me iiuTeiised , even within thirty ytars . Were they the authors of this increase- ' No ! Where then did-it come frr . mP Look around you , enquire iht- > your own position , examine the circumstances of ti . e tia . nd-lo : ! iit weavers during the same periodi he List thirty jears— and you will find thtir circunis * jiiues decreasing in an in .

      yon are steeped to the very dregs in povtrty —( cheers , ; ind repealed cries ot true" ) it is from your efforts alone , that all the increase of wealth and luxury has Mktn pliice , and can it he just that you should " , ir . s ' ead ol partitipatinfj ; in tbt-se advantages , be ruined hy . it ? Certainly not , and the reason that you are so , is to be lound iu a bad and vicious system of governmin' . It is not the numbers of pariiainet . t who aie to blame , for they are raiher a fair iin- ' liberal repiestntation of the electors who return them , but it is that system which allows one onl y ¦ nit ot fil ' U en , lo be represented , and makes it the interest of the few to tyrann . ze over the many ; and von should t ver keep in mind , that in proportion as

      y 111 suf'i red the ri } : ht of-voting to he wresttd . from you , you added bitttmess to the la . » h Under wi . fch you groan . Amid nil the improvtments of modern ¦ lays ,-ti . e increase of knowledge , the ' advantages of modern discoveries , are vou still to remain in ignorance and bondage ; are _\ uu to take no note of time , ; md toitinain for evtr governtd hy therudp and harharous Ih ws ufdays j ^ one hy ? ( Cheers , and cries " no , never . " ) 1 would 1 , 'iy it down as a principle , that the presenr House of Commons has no right to make laws for the people because it is riot chosen hy the people , and that until it be so chosen , laws made by it are not binding on the people—nor can there be any thing criminal in defying laws so made , and to this we are to attribute the circumstance that in verv

      many ir . stances the breaker of the law is U'Ceivtd wiih . honour , and the country rallies round him as one Who had done nothing wrong . If the laws were uuide hy the House of Commons chosen by the whole people , do you think this could ever happen , or that ihe people would permit their laws to be broken rhrotigh not only with impunity , hut with honour ? Impossible , for every one hiivintr an interest in supporting them , would then become a policeman to see that they were obeyed . We are told that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with legislative power .. Vveare at least as wise as our ancestors , and they pns ^ er-sed it at w hat the Whigs call " the ubriousi revolution of lGSti . " If we are not

      so well informed as we ought to be , whose fault is it hut thnt of the government , which , by grinding the people into dust , denies them the opportunity of acquiring information ; but away with such futile assertions , it is not because they are ignorant that power is withheld from them—it is because they know too much—it is their knowledge , not their ignorance , which their tyrants fear . The great disadvantage which the piople labour under , is having l . etn split into various parties , and allowing their energies to he fritted -away on different measures , instead of combining for one great object . Some have told you to buy books , others to buy arm- ' , others to ruin the trade of the exciseman , and others

      to press for a repeal of the corn laws ; now , from none of these will you derive any benefit , until you have the power in your hands , because it is the inttrest of your tyrants to divert it into their own pockets , and if you have not two thousand pensioners , you will have five thousand commissioners . That you will obtain the necessary power by a wellcombined and peaceful movement , I fully believe . ; but , at the same time , I would have you so organized as to be in a situation to defend yourselves against brute force , tor , although I detest the very idea of Woodshed , I have always maintained that there is a point beyond which endurance cannot go . The introduction of machinery has been attended

      with tht most baneful results to you , yeth is not either to its introduction or its proper application that I object , it is to the abuse of if , to the unequal distribution oi" the products of it ; it has had the effect of altering all the social relations , and made young children toil to death for their parents , instead of their parents supporting them . ( Shame . ) In short , machinery , which should have been the poor man ' s holiday has become his curse . A great combined movement is now taking place for Universal Suffrage ; already our enemies tremble at the consequences , and before long you will see various attempts made to divide the Radicals : even since I came to Scotland , I

      have observed the more timid Radicals showing a sneaking kindness to the Whig trimmers under the pretence of fearing a revolution . Yet these parties , with singular inconsistency , are the first to laud the revolution of 1688 , which secured to the people Universal Suffrage , Annual or Sessional Parliaments , freedom from qualification clauses , and the payment of members , and surely if a revolution was good then , having such results , it cannot be bad now in 1838 , having the same objects . ( Cheering . ) I ask for the people nothing but justice , and I look

      in vain for anything like an attempt to do them justice since the passing of the Reform Bill . The first act was the Coercion ^ ill for Ireland— the last for Canada ; and the "Whi ps , while pretending to abuse the tyrant Cumberland , sst-up . as an object of worship the dictator , Durham . There would be no poverty in Scotlandif you got justice , for the riches of the country are increasing by your industry , but the tended aristocracy seize their portion from the land , while the capitalists wring it from your bones and sinews , leaving nothing for you but poverty and

      despair .. AH the pretended measures of liberality which ' -, have- been introduced , have only been so many elap-t ! aps with which to cheat you into a little longer endurance ; and their Municipal Corporations , about which they have made such a fuss , uiean nothing but billiard tables for /" the . ' -rich , ; and jails for the poor ; and since ever the Whigs came into office , no opportunity has been lost of increasing tbe power ot the aristocracy to the injury of the people ; nor is it easy to see how any Gorernment , whe . her Whig or Tory , can do them justice until Universal > uftrage has placed the power in the hands . of the proper parties , for they are doubly - ¦ T&S&Pl ^ WW * *** I * ™ band , and he lundholders the

      on other , while any government that attempted ^ foreclose the bargain without havmga very . different House of Commons , would ' immfdiareiV- I * destroyed by the two combined . Universal Suflrage was a part of the constitu - tion , when it was worth living for , and worth dyina . lor . So were Sessional Parliaments and paid members , and they are the real destructives who have deprived the constitution of these , its brightest glories . There is my friend , John Taylor , the most abused mat : in Scotland , whom I always find at his post , and With whom I am proud to co-operate . He values health , circumstances , or friends as nothing compared with the great , cause . Aud what is it which he seeks , and which I seek ? Is it a

      subversion of the constitution ? No ! it is the constitution , the whole constitution , and nothing but the constitution : as it was , as it ought to be , aye , and as it yet shall fee . ( Greatcheers . ) In Universal Suffrage is our hope ; to that we must pr « ss on . with a combined and determined movement ; and by a tony-pull , a strong pull , and a pull altogether , we shall pull down the temple of tyranny , and rear in its place-an altar to freedom . ( Cheers . ) There is a tune coming which will make every men brave , and r . o-abuse will be safe , for hunger will break

      through stone wails . The same power which earned the Reform Bill and the Emancipation Billwhich brought Charles to the block , and drove James from the throne—that same power still exists , and will in future be ustd far a very different purpose than merely to transfer the state baubles fiom one faction to another . There are only two classes whom I would disfranchise , viz ., those who will not agitate for their own rights , and those who would withhold the . rights of others ; and I am glad to find by their appear-nnce to-day and tbeir conduct hithecto that the men at Barrhead belong to neither .

      Mr . O'Connor concluded a long and masterly iiddress , and retired from the meeting amid deafening plaudits . A unanimous .. vote- of thanks to him ; md Dr . Taylor was carried by acclamation , and upon the motion of the latter , a round of enters to the chairman , when the meeting quietly dispersed . There could not he Jess than 1500 people present , and a more delighted assemblage has sr Iriom been seen ; a hirge party remained after the meeting- ' to see Mr . O'Connor away , and during the hour they remained nothing could exceed the attention and activity-of Mr . Walker and his family . —( jlassmo Post . .
