SOUTHAMPTO N . PUBLIC MEETING OF THE -TRiDES IN J | EHAi , P . j OF THE MASONS . A Tery . naiairaQsly attended public meeting was held infchia town on Tuesday evening , Dae . 21 st , to take into consideration the best means to assist the masons bow on strike -at the New Houses of Parliament , and to express jubiie opinion as to the justice of their proceedings . The _ meeting waa held in a verj-. spacious aad commodious b ' dildine called the " Long Kooin . "
capable of holding from seven t « eight hundred persons ; tiiB -was filled with' a very stientiveand respectable Sadience . In this case , as in -many others , the harmony of the meeting was not suffered to proceed- "without beirg disturbed by tbs over-flowing love and kindness of a chaplain of some Union Workhouse trespassing his pragmatical observations upon the attention * of the meeting in energetically exhortinj them' to " Fear God suA honour the rich !! " , This and a few other minor interruptions drew forth much disapprobation from the great body of ths mesting . ¦
Mr . Hesne , carpenter , was called to the chair . He said' that they were called together to express fheii sympathy towards a very ill-used and oppressed class of British subjects . Be was not himself minutely acquainted with the whole of the proo&edings con nected with the strike of the masons ; - he should leave that in the hands af the delegates present , -who would explain the , . * i £ jir . He called upon all present , who h&d piacad him in the situation which be held , to preserve order , whilst the various speakers delivered their sentimanta . He then , called upon Mr . Turner , mason and delegate , to address the meeting .
"Mi . 1 TJaNKB . th&n rose and said that he bad worked under the emploi of Allen , for fourteen monlfcs , and he had invariably found him to be an outrageous character in all his proceedings with the work-people ; such was Ills disposition , that if there Was , anything on the work that added , in the least , to tba comforts of his werk-peojple he would destroy it ; in fact , what he was about to . # ate he weuia defy either Grissell , Peto , or Allen , to contradict ; ha being an eye-witness to many of bis tyrannical acts—acts which were truly disgusting and disgraceful to him as a man . After having recapitulated the many charges brought against Allen , which haye already appeared in the -columns of the Star , and are well understood by its readers , ilr . T . sat diffra . ¦ ¦ . . The Chaikhas then called upon ^ Mr . Jennings , a mason and-delegate , to address the meeting , -who , in a -very neat speech dii honour to the cauae he advocated .
Mr . Jsssisgs said , he felt sorry that the business which ha tras called upon to perform had cot fallen into more able lianas than his . He felt a deficiency 61 language on the present occasion to depict the shameful character of Alien . He had worked under him , an > . l , therefore , what he said was not from hearsay , but from what he had seen , ami from -what he had alsa felt . On one occasion , he recollected a most glaring piece of injustice committed by him . " It tras a reqnest on the part « f some of the workmen , to have a certain door opened tbat was locked , which would have saved them much trouble and loss of time in goin ? to and from their meals ; but such was the stubborn and
vindictive temper of Alien , that this most reasonable request was denied them , and-the denial was accompanied with an insulting threat , that if they -were dissatisfied tney mi ^ ht " pack np their traps and be oft" He had known cases where Allen had called up men from the country , hundreds of jniles from their home , asd had discharged them -for the most trifling cause . He could go on the whole ¦ of the night enumerating incidents of injustice endured by tb « masons before they resorted to" their last alternative—toe strike . He conciuled a very interesting speeeeb , much to the satisfaction of -the meeting . - -
" Mr . Palmer , shoemaker , then moved the first resamtion . He spoke with grsat energy and effect , and said that the power which they complained ef was of their own creation . Pive men in a natural state- of society were sufficient to restrain the violence of any one man in it But how was it that in the present civilised society , which boasted of so high a state of cultivated human , nature , ona man ( as in the case ef Allen ) was enough to outrage the rights , the- liberties , and the feelings of 270 of his fellow-beings ? Such was an anomolous state of society * and called aloud for an organic change in the institutions of the eounYry , such a change as would give' unto all equal political power . ( Cheers . ) Then and not tali then could Tnnn breathe tha pure exhilarating breath' of freedom . — { Applause . ) Mi . Palmer spoke tor some length of tame in a pleasing strain of eloquence , and concluded by moving the following resolution : — :
" Thstlhis mesting fully justifies tfiB conduct of the masons lately employed at the New Houses of . Parlia .-xnsnt , in withdrawing from their employment until such time as the tyrant ( Allen ) is deprived of the authority which , by hia inbu-m ^ Ti conduct , behaB shown himssif unfit to hold . " 2 £ r . Hvlbee . 1 , in a short and mauly -speech , seconded the resolution , which being put from the chair , "was carried unanimously . Mr- Bbeeslaw , mason , moved the second resolution : — " That thi 3 meeting view with feelings of contempt the mean manner in which Grissell and Peto have met the charges brought against their foreman , Allen , and deem them , by upholding him ha his outrageous conduct , alike guilty of the charges which have been so substantially proved against Allen . "
Mr . Bobsp . ts , . stoker , seconded the resolution . He knew the condition of the working classes to be ¦ WKtciied ; be knew they sngered privations , because they were not represented . He hoped tbey would bfr more united fcr their just protection . ( Cheers . ) The manner in which the call ef the masons -had bean responded to generally by the working classes , rtSK-. tsd the greatest honour upon thein . He would ask how could Grissell and Psto but support Allen in bis conduct when ihey knew that their interest wasidentified with it . That they endeavoured to get their work
done as cheap as possible , to meet the conditions of their estimates , which ha heard were £ l-J , COO lower than any other that were given in . This then accounted for the treatment which the men suffered . They ( the contractors ) found that they could not finish the . works at the rate of wages they were paying , so they adopted every expedient to force as much labour from the workmen as passible ; but he hoped there was a day not far off when tie working classes would be able to resist every aet of oppression . Mr . Roberts , after a few other remarks , retired amidst much cheering .
The Chairman tben put the resolution , and it was carried unanimously . . Mr . Mcsbat , shoemaker , in a brief speech , moved" That this meeting pass a vote of censure on those unprincipled men , who have been bo bare as to go aud supplant then * fellow-workmen now on strike , and that this meeting consider they merit the contempt of » rerj working man in the British empire . " Mr . Tithxeb seconded the resolution . The Chaikhas put it to the meeting , and it was carried unanimously . - , _ Mr . Bastxetx , shoemaker , then came forward to move a resolution to the following effect : — " That it is the bcumien duty of this meeting to support , by erezy pecuniary means , the masons now on strike . "
Mr . Bartlett spoke at great length upon the" evils of exclusive legislation , and was frequently cheered by the meeting . He said that until they get the People ' s Charter they would not bare a salutary correcHye for all their manifold grievances . Mr . Weeks britfly seconded the resolution , which wasarreedto . ~ After a few remarks . from Messrs . Owes , PALMES ., and others , the meeting broke up , much delighted with iia proceedings , by giving three tremendous cheers for the first Chartist meeting in Southampton . A good collection was made for the tmu .-mi afc the door .

Bebnabd Cavakagh Outdone . —On the 29 th day of November , Mr . Price , Venni Vach , near Brecon , missed several sheep off a part of his farm , and after , a long and fruitless search gave them np for lost ; but , strange to say , on the 10 th December , tbey were discovered alive in a Bhed -which bad not been Bssd for a long period of time , and which did not contain a aingla particle of food . It iB fiupposed that they went into ithe shed for refuge from the storms lately-so prevalent , aDd that the power of the wind closed the deor after them ; the shed being generally kept shut , was sever thought of daring the search . They are bow , like Mr . Cavanagh , rapidly recovering from the effects of their long abstinence . —Carmarthen Journal .
Exteksitb Fobgekiks at Bbistol . —Within the last fortnight forgeries to a large amount have been committed in the city of Bristol . One of them was upon the Custom-house , and although every effort has been used to capture the delinquent he Las not jet been taken' into custody . In another case , it appears that on or about the 7 th inatM Edward C&arl&s Clarke ^ shiprehandler , late in the employ of Mestr ? . Pilter , aad Co ., Bristol , absconded from the city in . question , and it was then ascertained that he had by means of forged signatures negotiated bills
pnrportiBg to be- of the value of several hundred poands . A warrant having been issued for his apprehension , Mr . Boswenh , inspector of the Bristol police , with Inspector Tedman , have exerted them * se lves ta the utmost with the view of finding the for .-er , Tf ho i 3 described as being a well-dressad man , about twenty-six years of age . They ascertained that on Friday last a man , an wering exactly bis Gescriptk 1 D » dined at a pubiic-house at Harrow , and there is ie > .

Owing * o the sudden thaw which took place on Friday aau' Saturday , the greaterpartof the ice was covered with water . It "was again frozen over , but when tho boys ventured upon it , owing to the rotten state -of the ice , it separated , and eight or nine of them were instantly immersed in the waier . All except one succeeded in getting upon certain portions of the ice , atfd eventually reached the shore ; bat we are . sorry to say that one unfortunate fellow was unavoidably drowned in sight of thirty or forty persons , who stood near the spoi without the means of rescuing him .
City Sobriett . —From the circumstance of Satnrday being Christmas Day , the reports brought by the police under the notice of the city magistrates embraced two days and two nights , notwithstanding which not more than five charges of drunkenness aad disorder appeared in the charge-sheets for their adjudication . --\ short time ago , there was dug up in the garden of E , C . ituubJey , Esq ., at Shatton , in Lorton , a shilling coined in the reign of Queen Elizabeth , and bearing date 1568 .

NEWCASTLE . — -The Newcastle Chartist Association met on Monday evening , as usual , for business . Mr . Harrison having been appointed to take the chair , the Secretary read the minutes of the last mealing . A lengthy discussion took place respecting electing a delegate to the forthcoming Convention , when , it was decided that it should be deferred until Mr . O'Brien ' s arrival , as they recognised no other representative , either in the House of Commons or the Convention , thaa Mr . 0 ' 5 . The following resolution was agreed to unanimously : — Moved by Mr . Sinclair , seconded by Mr . Crothers , "That the Newcastle Charter Association present a memorial to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , respectfully requesting him , in his appointments of gentlemen to the Commission of the
Peace , not to forget that there are Chartists in this locality as capable of performing the duties of that important office as any yet appointed , or any of her Majesty ' s subjects . " Mr . Sinclair was appointed to draw up that address . The following notices of motions were then announced to be brought forward on next Monday evening : —By Mr . Cockburn" That a Debating Society be formed in connection with this Association , and arrangements entered into for the immediate carrying out of the same on this night week . " By Mr . Kirke—" That an address be sent from this Association to Sir Frederick Pollock , congratulatory of his appointment to the high office he now holds , and respectlully requesting him to use his influence , in the proper quarter , to procure the immediate return of those ill-used patriots , Frost , Williams , and Jones . "
Subscription . —The sum of 7 s . 6 d ., from the Chartists of Foreman ' s Row , was received for the Missionary Fund . DURHAM . —At the meeting lately held in this city , to congratulate her Majesty on the birth of a prince , Messrs . Mowbray and Cirr , on behalf of the Chartists , brought forward an amendment , praying her Majesty to institute an inquiry into the causes of the distress at present existing in this country , &c , and also to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , and the liberation of all political prisoners ; but which the Mayor , ( being presiding officer ) declared to be lost , and the original resolution carried . HUNSLET . —The Chartist Press . —Means
of extending its Efficiency . —At a recent meeting of the Hunslet Cbartists , it was resolved unanimously , "That a Chartist Loan Tract Society-be formed for Hunslet ; and that six districts , of fortyfive houses each , be ] aid out to be visited weekly with Chartist tracts ; the tracts to be the English Chartist Circular ^ from No . I to 46 inclusive , and that six of each number , from 47 , be purchased weekly , in order to have a stock ready when the others have gone their rounds . " This plan will be in operation almost immediately , and we beg to call the moat serious attention of the Chartist public to the necessity and
advantages of its immediate and general adoption . We well know that a tract is often read where a conversatioa would not be allowed . We also know that much misrepresentation has gone abroad as to our motives and principles , and that much ignorance prevails both as to the state and burdens of the country , and the characters and proceedings of the worthies of former times . Now , all this would be materially removed by the diffusion . of sound political knowledge ; and no work , taking its variety and price into consideration , is so well calculated to effect these objects , on an extensive scale , as the Circular .

workmen to join the anti-Corn Law Association , and urged on his hearers the necessity of redoubling their exertions , and shewed the propriety of forming a strong committee for the purpose of gaining signatures to the National Petition and distributing ChartiBt tracts , and concluded by advising them to support The Cemmonwealthsman y edited by Mr . Cooper , of Leicester , who was a valuable member of the Association . A letter was read from Mr . Philp on the subject of the omission in the list of candidates complained of at the previous meeting , after which several persons addressed the assembly , and the meeting separated .

TODXKEP&DEH- —The Corn Law Repealers Xi their : DiKiY work Again 2—La , 3 t Sunday , ¦ the Rev . Mr . Baker , Baptist Minister , gave out to hia audience that there woHld be a meeting in the chapel od Tuesday night , to take into consideration the propriety of forming a Branch Society to the great League in Manchester , as he termed it . Accordingly , the Chartists of Todmorded , ever willing to hear reason , were determined to go ; and if they thought that the / League ' s objects were preferable to their own , afbar they had fairly and calmly discussed each point , to " give in . :: But lo ! the fair-dealing Whjg 6 ( tor they are virtually deserving of that name ) would hot listen to reason : they said they had no
objections against the five points of the Charter ; that , in a moral point of view , they were just , and deserving the support of every good and reasonable man ; but that it would be better to get a repeal of the Corn Laws first , aiid then agitate for the Charter . There -was one observation that the Rev . Mr . Baker inade which is worthy of notice here—that he waa . aware that there was not a dissenting minister . in England , but was favourable to the principles of the Charter j the lads allowed them to proceed without any ihterr ruption , unt'I they submitted a resolution ; then a workiug man in the gallery of the chapel , asked it ' they would allow him to state his opinion , but the and fair
liberty-loving humanity-monger , -dealing self-electeidl chairman , Baker , said that he could not allow discussion there ; and if any opposition to the proceedings took place , he would immediately dissolve the meeting . Ves , said He , you had better not get my feelings up , for if you do ; but bethinking him that it would not do to show his tyrannical disposition there , he said no more ; for there was not more than a dozen persons there that waa favourable to their nostrum ; and half of those were actually ashamed of the proceedings . When ho saw that no way pould be done but what would throw disgrace upon them , he called upon any one present to come forward and sign their aatnea to b&come , membexs ; there were just three that put down their Dames , The Chairman then dissolved the meeting . A per ^
son in the body ot tho chapel , informed the meeting that there would be a meeting in the Chartist room immediately , and wished all to adjourn thereto ; and another individual then stated that if the Repealeirs would go with them , they would give them a fair hearingi and would discuss their principles with them calmly and fairly . When this person had done speaking , three tremendous cheers were Siven for the Charter , and three dismal groans for le League Clique . At the door of the chapel there were a many of the constables in attendance . The meeting iu the ChartiBt Room was very numerously attended , and there were some very good remarks made upon the contact of the League generally . It was resolved to get up a tea party on , New Year ' s Day , the profits to be giveu to support the next Convention . ;
: X 33 EDS . —; Water Wouks . —On Monday last , a special meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was held at the Court House , Wm . Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair .

State of Thade . —Although this is a period of the year at which any great degree of aotiyity i » hardly to be eipeotedjthera have been within the ^ last two or three days , and more particularly during yesterday , some symptoms of improvement in our yarn market : ; and atrifling advance over the very low prices paid abdat ten days ago , has been pretty generally obtained upon nnmbera and qdalitie 9 of yarn suitable to the present demand . Many of tho purchasers also have shown a , strong inclination to make contracts , for future delivery , which is a favourable symptom as to the condition of the market . In goods , however , there is not mack improvement j ajid the extremely low prices which have ruled for some weeks past remain without change . . Still there is a rather better feeling in the market ; and , as is indeed usual at this period of the year , a more decided
improvement in the course of a month or two is confidently looked for , During the tyro last years , this expectation was defeated by the unfavourable position of the Bank of England , and the consequent pressure upon the money market . There is some reason to hope , that this year the same cause will not be in operation , as the / Bank is n 6 w understood io &e in a comparatively , easy and secure positionher stook of coin and bullion at the present moment amounting to somewhere : about five millions and a half , with every appearance of a progressive increase .

The imports of foreign grain have been fair for the season . The weather up to Wednesday in the past week was sharp and frosty , From that period to Saturday mght milder with rain ; but since then frost has returned , and during last night it was very keen and cold again . There was a fair steady demand for English Wheat at last week ' s prices , and a moderate sale was experienced for free foreign without any change in the value of good useful
samples . Flour was dull , and ship marks were pro ^ cufable on rather lower terms . The best Mai ting Barley was taken off at quite as much money , whilst other qualities hung heavily on hand , although again offered rather cheaper . Prime old Malt brought last : week ' s rates , ia limited quantities ^ whilst hew was very dull , and must be quoted Is per qr . imder last Monday ' s currency . Beans iand Peas were in . slow request , and soft samples of new have declined about Is per qr .

Alarmino Fire . —Great Loss of Property . — An alarm of fire was given between twelve and one o ' clock this morning , ( Monday , ) which proved to be at the Union Carriers' Warehouse , Piccadilly , Manchester , and the building , thirty-six yards by eighteen , and eight stories in height , is reduced to a heap of ruins , with the valuable contents therein , andnot / aTestigeof anything saved . The building was the property of Lord Francis Egerton , and said to be insured . The building is ^ understood to have been completely filled , chiefly With cotton , sugar , wheat and flour . The estimated loss is £ 50 , 000 besides the building . There are but tew of the owners of the cotton , &c , who are aaid to be insured , so that the loss will be a total one to all who were so unfortunate as to have had property within the building . The cause is said to hare arisen from
the circumstance of there having been two or three boats lying in a branch of the Rochdale Canal within the warehouse , and that the fire or fires in the cabins ignited the first floor . Mr . Ocoleshaw ' s lead mill and glass warehouse , on the opposite side of the street , must inevitably hare been destroyed , had it not been for the prompt aid afforded by Mr . Rose and his most efficient fire engine establishment ( six engines haying been at work ) , who rendered the moat timely assistance . This makes the seventh or eighth fire that has taken place in Manchester in the last three or four weeks , most of which have involved the loss of property to a serious amount . In such danger was a boatiaan , with his wife and son , from being literally burnt , that they all jumped into the canal , and by great exertions were all saved . A part of the man s shirt was burnt on his back , and he was so much iojured asi to be taken to the IbSibutj . " ¦ ' . ¦ " "¦ ¦ . ¦¦ . ¦ ¦ : •¦ ¦ "¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ . .. ¦ : : : : . •¦;¦¦ ¦'
