The work consists of plain and familiar expositions of the Six Points embodied in the People ' s Charter—information oh the progress of machinery —the depreciation in the various trades , professions , and employments in the manufacturing and agricultural districts—the rise and progress of trades ' unions—the causes thereof—commencing with the agricultural labourers , weavers , spinners , tailors , shoemakers , hatters , carpenters , masons , bricklayers , &c , &c , &c—the corruptions of the State Church —the evils of the laws of primogeniture—the abuses of the army and navy—the tyranny of the Anglicised Bourbon Police—the frauds of the banking and usury systems—with other useful information from time to time , bearing on the interests of society . The Statistics are selected from the best authorities , and every exertion made to render the publication a terror to evil doers , and a valuable addition to the library of the working man . As a guarantee that the Work may be looked upon as a bona fide Friend of the Working Man , it is under the immediate superintendence of Mr . Campbell , the Secretary to the Executive . . Contributions to tbe Work , with Statistical Information from Trades , Clubs , and Societies respecting the actual state of Wages , &c , will be gladly received , as the Statistics got up by Government Authorities and Capatalists cannot often be depended upon , where the Interests of the Working Men are concerned .

Horrid Death . —An inquest was held on Tufsday last by Mr . Gnffi ' . h Jone ? , coroner for the county of Merioneth , on the body of John Roberts , lime-burner to Mr . Edward Owen , of Garthynhared , when it appeared that John Jones had on the morning of Monday , the 24 th ult ., been in company with the deceased , drawing lime from the kiln at Garthissf , and that on his return from breakfast he found John Roberts in the centre of the kiln , plunged up to his knees iu the burning lime . He was in an upright position , with his hand ? raised above his head . The body appeared a complete burning mass : and on a chain being passed round the trunk , it was dragged out , charred to a cinder . A large iron bar , used for poking thft lime from the kiln , was resting n < ar the deceased , but there was no evidence to Fh « w how he had fallen into the kiln . Verdic— " Accidental death . " The deceased was six ; y years of age , but had not long taken to the lime business . — Carnarvon Herald .
Dreadful Explosion . —About fjx o clock on Saturday evening a dreadful explosion of gas took place in Bell street , Birmingham , near the Market Hall , and consequently in the m ( st bustling part of the town . Tbe damage was confined to a small shop , which was levelled with the ground . The occupier of the premises , who is a tailor , is named Skinner . At thtf moment the explosion took place he was eugaged in his business , and was buried in the ruins , from which he wa 3 afterwards rescued by the policemen , in a state of f _ reat exhaustion , and
with several fearful bruises about his head and perf-on , which render it very doubtful whether he will hereafter recover ; indeed , but little hope is given of his life . A boy , of the name of Daniel Lawley , was pasting at the time , and received a severe blow upon his head and neck . The explosion was caused by the bursting of a gas-pipo in the middle of the street . The gas found its way under ground for several yards , and ultimately entered the shop through a fissure in the floor ; the moment that a light was introduced it caused combustion . The furniture is much burnt and injured .
Eastbourne . —Wrem .. —In the very heavy gal * on Tuesday afternoon , about fire o ' clock , a large barque of 500 tons burden , came ashore on the "Boulder Bank , " between Beachy Head and this place . She , however , lifted over the bank and grounded just opposite the Sea-houses . Happily the hands , consisting of five men and two boys , were saved . It appears that the Jane Lnwden ea \ l ng from Miramichi fell in with the nnfortunate vessel , ( the Watts of Plymouth , with timber from Quebec ) in the middle of the western ooean ( long 38 ^ by chronometer ) water logged , and the crew on the point of abandoning her , and taking refuge on board a brig which had hove-to for the purpose of rendering assistance- This they did ; bat the first mate of tbe Jane Lowden having examined the deserted
ship and found that , notwithstanding there was a great quantity of water in the hold , she was not altogether unmanageable , volunteered with the assistance of the crew above enumerated , though the original crew was nineteen in number , to attempt to bring her into port ; which bold attempt , after much distress from short provisions and the dangerous ttate of the craft , they had eo nearly accomplished as to have got her into the Channel , when being overtaken by the late gale , she could not beg&tto answer the helm , and was run ashore as above stated . The mate , Richard Coaker , and his little crew were much exhausted when taken off the wreck . There can be no doubt that they will—as they ought to do —meet a fitting reward for their gallant and intrepid oonduot iu attempting Buoh an exploit . —S * sse Advertiser .

2 8 1 1 9 21 0 19 32 0 0 0 1 14 0 0 0 0 Leeds Woollen Markets . —There has been more business done in the Cloth Halls , and a better demand for goods in tho warehouses , during the week , than has been the case for some time past . Some orders ( perhaps limited ) have be . n executed for the United States , on which the additional duty of twenty per cent , imposed by the American Tariff , will have to be paid . There , is also a little more doing in the wool trade , but prices are very low . Bkadfor » Market , Thursday , Nov . 3 . — Wool The business done during the week is only limited , and that chiefly in Wethers and Matchings of a full bred description . Hogs are still in slow request ,
and it is difficult to tffect sales of them . The farmers still cling to their Wools , and the Staplers state that it is quite impossible to give the present rates demanded lor them , to meet the current prices of this market . Yarn—There is no marked ' alteration in the demand for Yarns ; the shippers are making more inquiries , and probably iu a short time , moro will be done by them , or they will not be able to Bhip for the winter consumption , uhIcsk their purchases are made very early . The mills stili continue to bo only partially employed , and a great
many running only daylight . Piece . —The demand , which is only limited , is still confined to the original manufacture , such as Merino 3 . Orleans , and other heavy winter goods . In the Fancy trade , there is not a vestige of improvement , and the Manufacturers engaged in that branch are very dispirited , nearly all working short time , with a large proportion of engines idle . It is really becoming imperative for them to act with great caution , and we trust , though the operatives are now suffering great privations by being without work , thatjthey may be benefited by aa early resumption .
Yobk Cohn Market , Oct . 29 . —We are fairly supplied with Grain to-day ; and from the improvement notod in Wakefield yesterday , our farmers have been asking much' higher prices ; and though our millers and factors are not keen buyers at the advance , we must quote Wheat Is . to 2 s . per qr ., and Oats Id . per stone , higher , and Barley is in demand , at late prices . M alton Corn Market , Oct . 29 th . —The quantity of grain offering to this day's market is moderate . . Wheat is Is and in some cases , 2 a per quarter dearer . Barley is in good demand , and for superior qualities Is per quarter advance is obtained . Oats the turn dearer . Wheat , red , 48 s to 52 s per quarter of 40 stones ; ditto , white , 50 s to 56 s per quarter of 40 stones . Barley , 25 s to 28 s per quarter of 32 stones- Oats 8 d to Id per stone .
Liverpool Wool Market , October . 29 . —Only a limited amount of business was done in any description of wool this week ; both Scotch and Foreign were in poor request , but prices on the whole were unaltered . There will be a public auction of colonial and other wool on the 10 th of November , previous to which there will not be many sales by private contract .

HUDDRRSFIELD MARKET , TUESDAY , OCT . lST . ^ Our market -his day was not quite eo good as last week , yet a fair quantity of goods were sold . The warehouses are not go busy ; great numbers of oper * atives are unemployed , and it is to be feared they will experience a severe winter . Wools , oils , Seenominal . Newcastle Corn Market , Oct . 29 . —Owing toa large annual fair held here to-day we had a veij short supply of country wheat at market this morning , and the arrivals from the coast being also light , the whole was readily cleared off at an advance or
fully h . per quarter on the prices of this day se ' nnight . In foreign Wheat there was rather more doing , but no advance can be noted . Rye is a very dull sale . The arrivals of Barley are not very con * siderable , but very many of our maltsters have not yet commenced , and , in consequence , the supply exceeds the demand , and the sale is dull at our quo * tation 3 . Peas met with more inquiry without any advance iu price . Beans are neglected . Malt is a slow 6 ale . We had a Very moderate show of OatB to ~ day , which were a ready sale at last week ' s prices Flour is in plentiful supply , and the sale is dull at Is . per sack decline . .
State of Trade . —Although there was no material change yeiterday , in the demand , and certainly no advance in tbe prices of goods or yarn , there was , upon the whole , a healthier and steadier feeling ia the market than during the two or three preceding weeks . Stocks are still exceedingly light , and many spinners and manufacturers working under contract ; so that prices do not seem likely to be further reduced . —Manchester Guardian of Wednesday . Rochdale Flannel Market , Monday , October 31 st . —Wo have had a busy market to-day , and flan * neis of the finer qualities have a good demand . — Dyed goods have also been eagerly sought after , and the market has been entirely cleared of them by Scotch buyers , who do not often attend this market . Notwithstanding this ready sale , there is not the least improvement in prices . Wool still re * mains stationary in price ; and the manufacturers buy very sparingly .
Liverpool Cattle Market , Monday , Oct . 31 . — We have had a smaller supply of Beasts at the market to-day than last week , and the quality the same as of late , the greater part being superior . Prices about the same . Beef 5 d to 5 gd , Mutton 5 d to 6 d per lb . Number of Cattle at market -. —Beasts 1801 . Sheep 6 , 053 . Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . — We had a very large supply of all kinds of Grain ia our market to-day . Wheat sold from 5 s to 6 s 9 d ; Oats 2 s to 34 8 i ; Barley 4 s to 5 s 9 d ; Beans 5 s to os 3 d per bushel .
Liverpool Corn Market . —Monday Oct . 31 . —Ia the early part of the week a few small cargoes of Wheat , Oats and Oatmeal , got up from Ireland , but we have Bince had scarcely any arrivals except steamers , and the week ' s imports of these articles are comprised in 2416 qrs ., 4584 qrs ., and 5094 loads respectively ; 4 , 447 barrels of Flour are reported from Canada ; the receipts otherwise are of trifling amount . Since the date of our last report-the trade generally has exhibited a firmer aspect than for some time previous . On Tuesday holders of foreign Wheat demanded an advance of 3 d per bushel , which was paid on a moderate amount of business , and has
been fully maintained . Flour has also brought rather more money ; United States 263 6 dto 23 s ; Canadian 25 s 6 d to 26 s 6 d per brl . The market , during the greater part of the week , has been almost void of new Grain , and for the few lots on sale higher prices have been realised ; the best runs of Irish red Wheat have brought 6 s 6 d to 6 s 9 d . per 7 O' . bs ., Oats 2 s 5 d to 2 s 6 £ d per 451 bs ., an advance of fully 4 d and 2 d per bushel respectively . New Oatmeal must be quoted 2 s dearer ; 22 s 6 d to 233 per 2401 bs . paid for Irish . The English new Barley , being still held at 34 s to 35 s per quarter , has moved elowly . No change aa regards Beans or Peas .
Manchester Corn Market , Saturday , Oct . 29 . The business done in Flour during the week has chiefly been in limited quantities to consumers , whose stocks are generally light ; and , to effect sales , . holders of the article freely accepted offers made by the trade at prices somewhat below the recent nominal currency . The transactions in Oatmeal were of an active character , the low prices having induced extensive consumption ; and a clearance was effected of all prime parcels in first hands at improving prices . The imports into Liverpool or Runcorn are light from all quarters ; those from Ireland show a
considerable failing off , which has caused a temporary scarcity of Oats and Oatmeal . There is no alteration , to notice in the value of Wheat at our market this morning , but holders firmly demanded the quotations of this day se ' nnight . The trade in Flour was chiefly of a retail character to supply present use , and 38 s to 39 s per sack were extreme rates for superfine qualities . Oats and Oatmeal , from their scarcity , commanded higher prices ; and an advance of 2 d per 551 bs . on the former , and 6 d to-Is . per load on the latter article wa 9 realized , bub only in limited quantities to the dealers .
London Corn Exchange , Monday , Oct . 31 . — ' The supplies during last week were moderate of English Grain and Flour of all sorts , but of Irish Oats the arrival was most abundant , being equal to about 57 , 654 quarters . Of foreign Wheat we had also several cargoes arrived , in the whole amounting to near 13 , 000 quarters . The demand throughout the week for Wheat was languid , and prices rather tended downwards , particularly samples of middling inferior quality . Foreign Wheat might have been purchased on decidedly lower terms , and some considerable quantity changed hands at the decline . For other Grain the trade ruled steady , with the exception of Irish Oats , which on Friday receded
from Is . to 2 i . per quarter , according to quality . To this morning ' s market the show of English samples freBhnp was moderate of English Wheat and other Grains . Wheats have been taken off more fully than on this day week , but prices have undergone improvement . Barley has met a fair demand , at the rates of this day week . Irish Oats meet a tolerably free sale , at a decline of Is . to 2 s . per quarter . The supply of Beans and Peas , both White and Gray , has been fully equal to that of last Monday , and good boiling Peas are in demand at prices the turn dearer than on that day . Iu Flour we hear of no alteration . Seeds of all descriptions meet an average demand , and all description are unaltered in value .
London Smithfield Market , Monday , October 31 . —The official return of Foreign cattle imported into London under the new tariff , for the week ending the 29 th instant , is sixty-seven head of bullocks , of which two were from Oporto , and the greater portion of the remainder from Holland . Besides these there were some from Spain , by way of Devonshire . With one or two exceptions , these cattle were again of a very inferior quality ; not so old perhaps , generally , as some on former occasions , but decidedly in a poorer condition . This quality of foreign beasts attracts little notice beyond that of mere curiosity ; this wa 3 the most observable to-day , as very few "bids" were made for them , and the salesmen found a difficulty in fixing a price . Few sold , and
thoso at a very low figure . The average price cannot be quoted higher than 2 s . 6 d . to 2 a . 8 d . per stone . Although during the Midsummer quarter a , larger supply of home-bred cattle is' expected than during the preceeding one , yet the number of English Bullocks at market to-day was exceedingly large , being full 4 , 000 head . Of these the principal number were from Leicestershire , but the whole of the countie 3 which at this season of the year supply the market forwarded a larger number than for a long while past . There was also an increased number of Short Horua and Runts . The demand for Beef was very limited and the over abundance of the supply inoreased the dullness of trad * . Prices . from these circumstances combined , were lower , as to effect gales a decline
was willingly made . Prime Scots and English Ox cannot be quoted higher than 4 s . per stone , and inferior not mire than 3 s . The number of head turned out unsold was , as might be expected from the large supply and limited inquiry together , large ! than on many a market past , and quite sufficient to meet Friday ' s demand . The number of head of Sheep returned last night as the supply for to day ' s market was upwards of 34 , 000 , but as tbe drovers in the first instance give a larger numbsr in than they actually bring , the number oa Smithfield stones this morning may with greater acenracy be given as about 30 , 000 in round
numbers . The butchers were equally as backward in their purchases of Mutton as of Beef * and the large number on offer caused a , v&ry dull state of trade . Prime full-mouthtd Southdown Wethers did not command more than li . lOd . per stone , and the best Southdown Ewes about 4 s . 2 J . on the average . A few realised 4 a . 4 d ., but the former price was the more current rate of the day for the best quality . The supply of Calves was , according to the time of year , also large , and more than adequate to the demand . The finest Young Calves did not fetch more than 7 J . per lb . Pigs were ou an average in number . For this kind of meat also there was a dull trade .

Extraordinary Investigation . —Chatham , Nov . 1 st . —Very considerable tensation has been created in the town of Chatham , owing to tbe prosecution of an inquiry for the last four days , at the office of the Captain Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard , before Captain Sheriff and Mb legal adviser ( Mr . Geo . Essell ) , and the director of the dockyard police t Lieutenant Wise ) . Although the investigation has been strictly private , it appears that it has arisen in conseqaence of a young mau , a sawyer of the yard , named John Swaile , and who resides at Now Brompton , a short distance from the town of Chatham , having been seen by some of the mechanics for the last week in the yard with a handsome watch and
gold guard-chain , which , together with eome observations which fell from him in conversation with some of his brother workmen , created suspicion that all was not right ; and the circumstances coming to the ears of the officers of the yard , a diligent inquiry was immediately set on foot . It was soon ascertained that Swaile , the bawyer , had been seen with two Baukof England noiesof £ 100 each , and that he had been going to several tradesmen about the place endeavouriug to procure change for them About a fortnight ago Swailo went to his landlord , Mr . Death , of Brompton , to pay his rent , when he tendered one of the . £ 100 notes . Mr . Death felt great surprise that a man of Swaile ' s description sh&uld bave a note of so much value , and refused to take it . Swaile , after
chat , applied to two or three tradesmen of Brompton for-change of the notes , but oouid not succeed ; he therefore went to a silversmith ' s at Chatham , and bought the watch and chain for £ 13 , and there , it is said , succeeded in changing one of the notes ia question . The other note , it is said , he got rid of at Stroud . It is reported that Swaile received the bank-notes from a convict , whilst in the yard , and who was undergoing his sentence of transportation ; and that providing Swaile succeeded in getting them changed , he was to have £ 50 for his trouble . It is strongly conjectured by the officers of the convict ship Fortitude , that Swaile mast have had the notes in his possession some time , as tbe convict suspected
is one of three brothers who was transported for an extensive robbery , and has gone witk the last draught of convicts for tho peual eettlemenfs , and Swaile , ascertaining that fact , brought forth tho notes for circulation . On Saturday Swailo absented hmself from the dock-yard , and upon going to his residence , at New Brompton , the house was found closed , tiwaile has uot being since heard of . One of the £ 100 notes , it is stated , was piud into the Rochester Bauk , and transmitted to London . The note , it is said , is stopped , aa one having being stolen . Several witnesses have been examined , aud the evidence , when complete , will be forwarded to the } Lords of the Admiralty .
The Late Fire at Liverpool . —We have much satisfaction in annonncing that the claims on the various insurance offices are nearly all satisfactorily settled . The Liverpool Mail of Wednesday says , u The extent of these fires , the destruotiou of merchandise , and the enormous amount of loss sustained , exceed anything of the kind ever experienced in thi 3 or any other port . The immediate cause of the coLfligration remains in perfect obscurity ! but our own conviction is , that it arose entirely from spontaneous combustion ; and if argument were wauting to support this conviction , it would be the coafirined fact that cotton and oil deposited together will , of itself , from natural causes , ignite—hence wo think the disaster . We congratulate the
merchants oi Liverpool upon the prompt aud immediate settlement of their losses . We may say , from authority , that up to last evening , claims to the amount of j £ 355 , 400 had been paid , alt hough it is but this day four weeks since our columns contained an invitation to all sufferers to send in their claims . The amount of property burnt and not protected by insurance is , we are happy to say , but small—and , from our observations , we believe that the settlements made by the gentlemen representing the united companies n'erested have been of a satisfactory character ; indeed we most congratulate tbe companies upon heir choice of representatives in this important tffiiir . The method adopted of making the
settlement of each claim simultaneous by certificate , removes all rivalry between agents ; and the requiring but one statement of stock held by claimants is a boon to the merchant , inasmuch as all unnecessary exposure of the Btock is avoided . Wo offer our full share of praise , and we are quite sure that the merchants of Liverpool will join us in thaukiDg the companies for the cheerful and prompt manner in which those serious losses have been paid—losses which Hothing but combinations of wealth and capital could combat—and we should do a needless violence to our feelings did we not thua record our gense of the high dignity and reputation of theso societies . "
Meeting of Parliament . —Sir Bobert Peel , Sir James Graham , the Lurd Chancellor , and moat of iheother Cabinet Ministers , left town yesterday , at a quarter oet ' ore two o ' clock , in a special train , by the Great Western Railway , to attend the Privy Council to bo held at Windsor at half-past two o ' clock . At the Council a proclamation will be agreed upon for farther proroguing Parliament from the 10 ih inst ., to some day about the middle of Dec . We are enabled , however , to state , that there will be a further prorogation , and , as at present arranged , the Legislature will not assemble for the despatch of business until the usual period , viz ., the latter end of January or beginning of February . There is no intention of meeting before Christmas . —Standard of Wednesday .

! DREADFUL DISASTER AT SEA . ( From the Waterford Mirror . ) ' Intelligence of tho following disaster , attended , r tbere 13 every reason to fear , with tbe lo * s of the !« rewofthe vessel run down , with the exception of OEeman . who is the writer of the subjoined sta'e'> inert , reached thi 3 city on Saturday . It appears \ that the brig Dundonald , of Troon , D . M * Nichol , ' " ¦ master , which sailed from this port on Tuesday i evening for Troon , laden with ballast , came , \ shortly after her departure , in contact with the > schooner Kirby , laden with sla ( e 3 from © uddon , a -small seaport on the borders-of Lancashire and Cum' : < -berland . The only partwulars that we h ^ ve learned j * are contained in the letter at foot , written by one ' ofthecrew of the Kirby , which letter hfthaoded to the pilot authorities at Passage of Waterford , where he ' arrived in the Maid of Moetyn . It is to be remarked that the letter is Dot signed with the writer ' s
name . The Duadondald fook fcor departure from Hook SWer at eight o ' clock en Tuesday evening , and her coUision with the Kirby oocunred about three hours after , and about sixteen miles from the Hook . Wo Jearn that the night was rather cloudy , but that the sea . was smooth with a light bmz 3 . While we aaxiously await some further intelligence , and in particular the version of tfee occurrence to te given by the Dundonald ^ we think ic appears at least somewhat probable , from the following letter , that the Kirby and the remainder of the crow went down * . — " This is to certify that the schooner Kirby of Duddon ., was bound on her passage from Duddon to Yo » : ghal , with a cargo of slates , and on Tuesday ,
October 11 , betwixt th © hours of ten and twelve p . m ., the brig Dnndonald , of Troon , and tho said schooner , got entangled with one another about a Hsile to the southward of the Connibe ^ s Light-ship , when the master of the s-chooner « alled out to the brig ,- ' " . You will run us down j' they said , 'Put your aelm down , and im » aedia . tely the vessel -struck , when our master called out , ' She is going down—tuh—run , save yourselves if yon can ! ' With that I left the helm , and ran forward , and got hold of the brig ' s bobstay aloDg with my shipmate , but I know not whether he went overboard or not . There was one of the brig ' s crew a ^ eisted me in getting over tbe bows . When 1 got on deck I heard my master say , ' Oh , dear ,
Captain * stand by ns I and he gave him no answer , ' but w&s giving orders to his men about his jib-. boom , for it was carried away . I kept looking 1 towards the schooner , and as near as I can cal' , culate I Eaw her about twenty minutes , and the last words I heard my captain say were , ' Oh , my dear wife ! ' I went-iO the captain of the brig , and said , ' You would better stand towards her ; ' and he sad , ' What good caa I do ! Let us get our own jib' boom in / I wanted him to put me on board the I light-ship , but ho would not do it . and I remained i on board her till Thursday , the 13 ih , when I saw 1 a schooner standing in for Tuskar Light . I ! asked the caplain if he would allow his men to pull me a-board of the schooner , and he paid it was a day ' s work , she was so
far off ; and two of theeen said they would go , and he said ' Tery well ; call the hands up ; ' so we lowered the boat and pulled towards the Echooner , and made signal to her , and she hove to until we came up to her . which we found to be the Maid of Mestyn , Captaia Edwards , bound for Ttos-, and I asked a passage from him , aad he took me on board . It was three p . m . then . She was about seven miles to the E . N . E . of Taskar Light . " Wo have not learned the name of the writer of this statement . It appears that he was a north of England man , and ha 3 gone on to Yooghal , in tho expectation of finding if the schooner was able to prosecute her voyage . We trust that the expectation will be realised . Her crew consisted of the master and three men , and it appears that the master ' s wife was ako on board .
