Mahtleboxb . —A public meeting of the parishioners was held in the workhouse yard , to consider the report of the Committees appointed to oppose the" M&rylebone Parish Bill , " now before Parliament .

is of opinion that the time of such committee men would be much more beneficially employed in agitating for the People's Charter , the bill in question being but one of a thousand other similar grievances which the Chartists would remedy when they are possessed of that political power which will enable them bo to do .

HTJDDERSFIEIiD . —The Weaver's Strike . —The dispute betwixt Messrs T . . Wood .-and-W . Norton and the weavers still continues , and Out of fou hundred , twelve only are weaving at the reduced prices . Tha masters have found it to be absolutely impossible te get their pieces wove ai so unreasonable a low price as they offered , and offered ioo for the purpose of underselling those manufacturers who pay good wages ; and in order to realise their end they have resorted to the following expedient . They have already engaged an old foundry at Bolton-le-Moor , in Lancashire , to which they have transported a considerablenumberof bobbins , whecilp , iooms , jacquards , &c . and are now trying , to gull tne operatives by telling them they will be enabled to earn eighteen shillings per week upon their work , whilst the real fact U that their old weavers could
not earn more than one half that sum , although they have received considerably higher wages than Mei-srs . W . Norton and Co ., are attempting to give in Lancashire . Tke lowest sum which their old weavers have received being thirteen penc « per dozen for two hundred jarquards , and fourteen pence per d < . zen for four hundred ; while at Bolton they are offering them but ninepence per dozen for the same goods . Potatoes and salt have long been said to be the hand-loom weaver's fare ; but if the above prices get fully established , it will only be that in very small quantities .

LEEDS TOWN COUNCIL . The adjourned quarterly meeting of this body was held on Monday last . The Mayor presided . There were present , also , Aldermen Gaunt , Smith , Willans , John Goodman , George Goodman , T . W . Tottie , Pease , and Luccock , Councillors Leo , Cudworth , Howard , Birckall , Smith , Bramley , Kelsall , Sykes , bkelton , Whitehead , Brumfiti Holme ? , Wright , Lawson , Dufton , Martin Cawood , Atkinson , Garland , Barlow , Mitchell , Dickinson , Pullan , Joseph Chff , Shackleton , Marshall , Nickols , Winn , Hay ward , Prince , and Butler . The minutes of the last meeting having been read j as well as the correspondence
, Mr . Alderman Tottie rose to present the report of the Finance Committee , containing an . estimate of the probable expenses of the borough , from the 1 st of April to the 30 ih of September , both inclusive . He remarked that in March last year , it was his duty , as Chairman of the Finance Committee to submit to the Town Council a statement of finances of the borough , with an estimate of the expenses of the coming half-year , when he had . the satisfaction to inform the Council that there was a balance in the hands of the treasurer amounting to £ 5916 Is . 9 d . and that the rates in arrear then were only £ 451 4 s . 9 d . He regretted that the financial statement at
present was somewhat less favourable , there being now a balance due to thf treasurer of £ 769 8 i 3 d , Whilst the arrears of borough rate were £ 927 10 s 8 d , the arrears of watch rate having been paid up . He begged to suggest that it would be inexpedient to allow these arrears to remain any longer unpaid . The expences of the current half year are estimated at £ 11 , 198 ; to provide for which there would be a watch rate in May nest , £ 5 , 850 ; government repayments , £ 800 ; penalties and miscellaneous receipts , £ 170 , and a borough rate of 2 £ d in the pound , which will prodnee £ 4378 . He concluded by moving that the Mayor do leave the chair .
The Council then ¦ went into committee , Mr . Aid . Smith in the chair , when the estimated expences , as follows , were read by the Town Clerk : — £ s . d . No . 1 , Constabulary Force , ... 4262 10 0 No . 2 , Municipal Elections ... 400 0 0 No . 3 , Quarter Sessions ... 2215 0 0 No . 4 , West Riding ... ... 2 « 00 0 0 No . 5 , County Assizes , 500 0 0 No . 6 , Salaries and Allowances 785 0 0 No . 7 , Corporate Buildings ... 165 10 0 No . 8 , Miscellaneous Expences 270 0 0
£ 11198 0 0 Much discussion took place on several of the items . Mr . M . Cawood moved that the expences under the first head , " constabulary force , " should be reduced £ 1 , 000 . He was anxioas that the police force should be reduced , and the money of the burgesses saved . Mr . Butler seconded the motion .

taken , and it was negatived . The Counoil then resumed , and the Chairman reported progress , u pon which the Mayor put it that the estimates be agreed to , which was carried .

A short canver 8 atiori ensued , after which the motion was unanimously agreed to . The next notice embraced the proceedings to be taken against the out-townships who were m arrear with the borough rate ,-amounting in all to £ 927 10 s . 8 d . It was determined that they be summoned for the amount , and that for tl > e futHre , t } io Torrn Clerk , in his precept to the out-tdwnships , give them notice that legal interest will be exacted from them for all arrf are of longer than two months standing . Ou the motion of Mr .: Councillor Whitehead , seconded by Mr . Councillor Martin Cawood , petitions recommended by a commitree previously chosen , were ordered to be seni to both Houses of Parliament , praying ; them to enact laws foi" the purpose of establishing one uniform system of assessing and collecting local and other rates threughou ! t England and Wales ; thn petition to the Lords to be presented by Earl Fizwilliam , and that to the Commons , by Mr .

The valuation committee presented a report of which the following is a -copy :-W ' "In pursuance of the resolution of the Council , we have paid all the claims npon the valuation fund , except the sum of £ 500 , which was retained in Jian / l until the map of the township of Leeds should be completed v and which , when paid , will leave in the hands of the treasurer a balance of about £ 80- We have entered into an agreement with Messrs , Sharp , to revise and complete the valuation of the borough , on or before the 1 st of October next , in time for the use of the overseers in laying' the November rate . The map of the township of Leeds is now nearly finished ; it does hot , however , appear to your comr mittee that the map will answer the purpose of the
Council , as OTiginaliy designed , when the map and valuation of the borough was ordered , the alteration of the plan bfiiig ; caused by the difficulty of making it intelligible . It , therefore ' , is , in the opinion of your commitlee , desirable that another map on a scale sufficiently large should be ^ irawn , to contain the numbers of the houses corresponding to the book of referonce and the names of the streets . This map we propose to have drawn on a larger scale than the one first proposed , and to divide it into wards , and lithograph , it , so that the inhabitants may , if they think proper , have copies of it . We have obtained ah estimate of the supposed cost of this en Jsrged plan , and the lithographing thereof ^ and wa find oath together will amount to the sum of £ 384 for the first hundred , and for each additional hundred the sum of ¦ ¦ £ 91 .. These maps will contain
the numbers of the . ' -housei " and the names of the streets . The lithogiaphing of this and the out-township maps is thought by your committee highly desirable for two important reasons . First , that the sale of the maps will probably repay the expences Of drawing and lithographing the map of Leeds on an enlarged eca-le , and the lithographing tho outtownship maps ; second , that the utility of the work will be much increased by enabling the mcmberB of the Council , churchwardens ^ overseers , fiurveyor s ^ cou . missioners , and other public bodies and inhabitants of tho borough , to possess a work so valuablo for constant reference at a small price . It will be borne in mind that the scale of the enlarged maps is such as to admit of having laid down thereon main sewers , drains , cro ? s drains , gas pipes , water pipea , water plugs , levels , and other similar information . "
The report having been read , a motion was made by Mr . Aid . Luccock that it be filed and adopted but after some conversation it was agreed to file it only , the adoption of its recommendations to be the subject Of future consideration ; and inqu ' ry . This being the last notice , the Council broke up about a quarter past four o'clock .

TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . My beloved Friends , —I have only time to say that we have done bravely . The devils of the Con ferencc—Vincent * in particular—both in their imeetings and at meetings of the Chartist Church , have poured out the venom of their poor wrath en me and your leaders . I can bear it . They have acknowledged our principles ; but to-morrow they are to make an attempt to get into the traces , and place us in the shafts ! But they shant ! ! Our meeting will bo glorious on Monday , The Bradford delegates are fine fellows . This Sturge Conferenca is a remuster of the rump of tho old Malthusian London Working Man's Association .
Sturge is , as I long ago said , too good a man , but too weak ; he is led by those who surround him . He must throw them off , or he must perish . They speak of another National Conference . Then , hurrah for our side ! I will spend my last farthing to make a fair representation of our party , when it CODieS You shall hear of the finest mcetnig ever held in Birmingham on Monday next . Ever your Friend and Servant ,. FbAkgus O'Connok .

BIBKINGHAM , ADJOURNED DELEGATE MEETING . The delegates again assembled at ten o ' clock , and aftsr the minutes of the preceding meeting had been confirmed , several delegates reported that they had applied for admission to the Sturge Conference , and their credentials were refused , and pointed out the capricious and partial manner in which the committee of investigation of credentials had treated the people ' s delegates . Mr . Peplow reported that the committeoj of which Mr . Henry Vincent and Mr . Westerton , of London , and Dr . Wade were members , unanimously rejected the credentials of the people ' s delegates . Mr . CPConnou then moved the adjournment to one o ' clock oh Wednesday .

After tho minutes were confirmed , other delegates whose cases were under consideration of the investigating committee , reported that they also had been unanimously rejected in a lump . ; Mr .

WEDNESDAY EVENING . The whole of this evening was occupied in dis * cussions as to the propriety of holding public meetings each night in Birmingham , during the sitting of the Conference ; and as to the best means of procufing the attendance of the . Birmingham councils , many of whom being present expressed the general opinion which pervaded the body that the object was most desirable , and would meet With their most cordial co-operation . The delegates sat till eleven o ' clock , the room being crammed the whole time , and was adjourned till one o ' clock oh Thursday . There appears to be good generalship some where , as the excitement produced by the anticipation of Monday ' s meeting has attracted all public
attention froiB the Sturge Conference , which is noyv epokon of as a hoax and a failure , thiuigs having taken a different turn from that calculated u pon by the respective agents of whom the motley group is composed . It is truly laughable and ridiculous to see the unbiassed representatives of the people applying at Mr . Sturge'e provision store for their "ticket for soup , " each member receiving a ticket for each meal signed "Joseph Sturge ;'' thu 8 practically admitting the principle . ofpayiuent of members : while full , free , and fair reprfl 8 ontatioii cannot be-more happily illustrated than in the case of John Collins , who was almost unanimously rejected by his ; . t . pwnsineh ' . , and with this flattering mark of distinction was sent to Newpert at Mr . Sturge ' s expence , and from thence came back as a full , free , and fair popular delegate . O , ghost of Shell I
MEETING AT THE HALL OF SCIENCE . It having been announced on Tuesday morning that Feargus O'Connor would deliver a lecture in the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , at seven ofclock in the evening , at the time for commencing business Mr . J . Porter , of Bull-street , vvas called to the chair ; and On Mr . O'Connor making his appearance he was greeted with enthusiastic plaudits . Messrs . BairstoW and W . D . Taylor weie also loudly cheered . The Chairman thanked them for the honour conferred on him , and introduced
Mr . J . Baibstow , who was received by the meeting with loud and long-repeated cheering . He delivered a most eloquent addressj in which he ably defended the Ghaitist movement , and pointed otic the objection ? to the present Sturge movement . He then concluded by challenging a discugsiba with any man on the principles of the People ' s Charter ; and retired amid loud cheering . Mr . E . P . Mead then addressed the meeting in art energetic and humourous address , and was joudly cheered . : The Chairman then introduced
Mr . Feargus O'Connob , who was received with every possible mark of respect and esteem by the crowded and enthusiastic a&sembly , the ladies , who thronged the gallery ^ being foremost in testifying their approbation by waving their handkerchiefs for a Considers ble time . He thanked them for the flattering reception ho at all times received , and proceeded at great length to expose the maiiy attempts made to gull the people . They had been betrayed , because they wore apt to place confidence in the professions of those who merely wanted to use them for their own purposes . He then commented on the roanher in vvhich the Whigs had falsified their many professions , and read a document which shewed the shameful amount paid for tho
support of the Birmmgnam Police , which was nearly as much as was required to keep np the whole police establishment in America . Ha then exposed the various tricks and bloody wars instituted by the Whigs , as a proof of their retrenching propensities . The Cttartists had rallied for seven years under the Hag of justice and equal rights . The name of the Charter had been the watchword which had enabled them to beat down all opposition , and would they bow give up the name under which they had rallied so long ?—( loud shouts of Noj no , never / ' and loud cheers ) , a Conference was then sitting in the iown called together by Mr . Joseph Sturge . They had also a Conference elected by the
people . There Were thirty Chartist delegates present , to watch the proceedings of the Conference and watch over the interests of the people , amongst whom was the excellent and honest president of the Executive , Mr . James Leach , one whom the gold of the people ' s enemies . could not purchase-- ( loud cheers ) . They had knocked down the "New Move , " the " Fox and Goose Club , " anil every other device of those who wanted to divide the people , and , with the blessing of God , they would also do away with the Complete Suffrage affair , —( loud cheers , )—and in doing so , not only would the people of Birmingham rejoice , but Glasr gow , Manchester , Leeds , and all parts of the country
would triumph with them . He then dwelt at great length on the great exertions which the men of Birmingham had made in the cause of liberty , and said he had no -d'pub ' t they would do their dutjr on the present occasion . He had witnessed a glorious display in Manchester lately , at which there were u p wards of hal f a mill ion of human beings assembled to do honour to the memory of that noble of nature , the late lamented Henry Hunt , and he was confident that every one of them would feel themselves disgraced were they to give up one jot of the Charter , even : its name . ( Loud cheers . ) He had stood by the people for a longtime ; he had done so without receiving or reanirihg a farthing from any
man ; and no matter what thoy did , he wa 3 resolved and would never agree to go for any thins short of the Charter ; he would not even give up the name—( heaiyh * a * yand loud cheers . ) He then proceeded to explain the effect that would be produced by Peel's budget , and wittily showed up the manner in which the partiea interested would object to it , and proved that tho people were the actual payers of all indirect taxation , they having to pay 13 s . 6 d . out of every pound of their hard earnings . Did they think that Mi « . Sturge ' s plan wouldremove the present eystem ? —( no , rid . ) It was said that the Chartists were the party that kept Sir Robert Peel in office . Ho denied it . No : it was the Whigs , who refused to
do justice to the people—( loud cheers . ) They might talk as they liked aboutthe physical-force Chartists , but he could point , with sorrow and pride , to the last year , during which the peoplo of this country had endured the most appalling misery and starvation | , yet they were not guilty of a single crime . What then would be the result if they had an honest parliament of thoir own choosing , with the comfort it would produce ? After again reverting to Peel a Budget , and dwelling at great length on the course which thn Chartists ought to pursue , he passed a high eulogiuxn on Mr . James Leach for his services , and concluded by calling oh them to rally round the
Charter , as their only hope of security and prosperiiy Ha resumed his seat amidst loud and long repeated cheering . Mr . James Leach was then loudly called for , and was received with loud cheers . He proceeded to give an account of the impositions and robberies practised towards the operatives of Lancashire by the manufacturers—some of the statements created a tremendous feeling of indignation towards those hypocrites who pretend to be the people ' s fTiehds-Mr . W . D . Taylor was also loudly called for , and delivered a short address on the propriety of standing firmly by the Charter . He was loudly ch ' eewidi ¦ ¦ ' ¦• ¦ / ¦ ¦ ¦¦ . " , "¦ ' " ,. ¦'•• . - .

Mr . O'CoNNon ihen addressed the meeting on the propriety of holding a public meeting of the Midland Counties on Monday next , and concluded by passing a high compliment on the houesty and exertiohs of the Chairman in the people ' s ^ cau se * and by proposing a vote of thanks to him , which was seconded and carried unanimously . The Chairman baving returned thanks , a collection was entered into to defray the expence of the forthcoming meeting . Three cheers were then given for the Charter , three for Feargus O'Connor , three for Frost , Williams , and Jones , and three for Mr . Bairstow , ; and the meeting separated . The delegates proceeded to the meeting at the Red Lion Inn , Smallbrook-street .
COMPLETE SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE . At the Wednesday evening's meeting , the last point to be discussed was Annual Parliaments ; and , after a long discussion , the motion was carried by a majority of 52 to 13 . They have thus agreed to every point in the Charter . To-day ( Thursday ) the Conference are busy discassing on the title to be given , whether it shall be the Charter or not . It is all settled as to the principles—what the next move will be remains to be seen . About seventy delegates were in attendance from various parts ;
Gbeat Midland Meeting . —A meeting will be held at the Railway Station ^ Z > addeston-row , on Monday next , at eleven o ' clock , to bear the decision of the ChartiBt delegates . It is expected to be the largest evet witnessed in Binsiagbam .
