REPEAL ASSOCIATION—Monda y , OCX . 28 . The usual -weekly meeting of tbe AssGciation was held this > lay in tfee Conciliation Hall . The chair was taken by J . L Aratrin , Esq ., Lord Mayor elect Mr . Maurice O'Cosnell banded in £ 4 from Pre * j . ton , Ensland , and then brought nn £ ei the consideration of tbe Association tbe conduct of certain Repeal 'Wardens in London , who bad entered a meeting beld ixj that city in a state of intoxication , and when requested by their fellow wardens to retire , behaved in a moat unbecoming manner . It would be , be said , inconsistent with the rules of the Association to allow snch a gross breach of discipline to pass unnoticed . He , therefore , felt it his duty to move that the names of tee wardens in question be struck off the books of the Association . Sir . Clemesis seconded the notion , and stated that tfee committee , after a patient and searching investigation into tbe facts the case , cane to the unanimous conclusion that the individuals referred to merited expulsion from the society .
Capt Broderick , after handing in several remittances , announced tl » t the returns from the registries bad been most satisfactory , aed he considered that if tbe people followed up the blow which bad been so happily struck , they would be in a position at the nest general election ti retain such a number of Repeal members as would git-a a preponderating iiifluence to their party in the House of Commons . He considered any man that neglected te register as an enemy to his country . Catholic emancipation was the result of the Clare election , and that fact ought to prove to the people the necessity for exertion . If they were able to return a band of determined men to Parliament , it would most unquestionably give an irresistsWe impulse to their cause .
The Honourable Mr , hutchinson handed in £ lg from Liscarrol ( county Cork ) , and read a ccrarauni-« -tion which accompanied the remtlanca . The letter called on the aristocracy " to take tbe places of honour it tbe patriotic agitation winch waa Mng carried on for the restoration of the nationality of their native country ; if they did so , they would receive the warmhearted blessings of the people at large , and entitle themselves to the everlasting gratitude of a generous nation . " He < Mr . Hutchinson ) would re-echo the sentiments contained in the letter he had just read to the meeting . Be would ack the ariatocnev , were they English or Irish—were they fish or flesh ? Now was the time for them to be np and stirring —( hear , hear ) . He would call emphatically on them to consider seriously
the actual condition of their country , and what might result from its-continuance in that state . England , he was aware , was smiling at the puny efforts of these gentlemen to shake off their foolish prejudices . Such be knew were the private sentiments of every Englishman , but he knew they dared not give ntteiance to them in public . What did the objection of the aristocracy to join them amount to ? Why , this , " We bold ; onr opitiions , bntyet we cannot follow ttuni . " He regretted ttat tbe state of his health would oblige him to winter iu Fiance , and be couid assure the meeting that it was to him a source of bitter niortificatien to leave the country at this peculiar juncture . Although ,
however , he would not be present in propria persona , he would be in spirit , and he trusted that every letter be read from Ireland would give him -assurance of the persevering and untiring exertions of the Irish people in their present glorious career—( loud cheers ) . Under the leadership of Mr . OConnell they had nothing to fear . Having every confidence in his wbdom and discretion , he would caution his countrymen against being led away by any side-winded doctrines which might be propounded to them . He would be wanting in courtesy if he departed without tendering to the Association his unfeigned gratitude for the kindness they had shown him since his accession to their ranks .
Tbe Hon . Gentleman , on resuming bis seat , we 3 most enlhtisustie&lly cheered . Mr . SL 0 Co . nxell moved the thanks of the Association to the Hon . 6 . H . Hutchinson . Captain Broderick seconded the motion , which passed with acclamation . The Hon . Q . H . Hitchiksos acknowledged the compliment Air . H . O'Cosseix rose to bring under the notice of the Association a communication he had received from the Rev . D . Hearne , . of Manchester , directing attention to the spread of Ribbonism in that town . The letter contained the following passage : — " I do net know what to do with the Repeal room in Salford ; it is giving me more trontle than all the other wards . The anecdote
told in the Association by Mr . W . J . 0 Connell a few meetings back , of a Ribbonman being ducked in a pool of water in this town , has no foundation in fact : he must have dreamed it . The other statement , ' that * consequence there was not a Ribbonman in Manchester , ' is tqually incorrect I fear there are many , and among the Rtpialers , too . Indeed , I have beard the name of one who was about to go as a depnty to a meeting of delegates ( Ribbonmen ) , to be beld in the neighbourhood of Belfast , I have been battling with that society for the last nineteen years in this locality . I know no worse enemies of Ireland than the R&bocmen . The ; are , I am told , very strong in Liverpool , under the name of < Hibernian Societies , ' ¦ Friendly Brothers , ' &o . The association
would be doing no little good by sending over a commission to Liverpool , Manchester , Glasgow , and the neighbouring towns , to inquire into the existence and nature of such societies . I believe the Ribbon infatuatien in Ireland to be principally kept np by tupplies from this country . I would lend til my assistance to such a commission . '' Whilst on this subject , he ( Mr . O'Connell } would call the attention of the citizens of Dablin to the fact that there were at this moment emissaries going about seeking to entrap them into becoming members of tkis nefarious system . He held in his hand a satisfactory proof of the characters of the demons to which he had alluded , and tbe class to which they belonged An individual , who represented himself as William Doyle ., had been in tbe custom of frequenting a certain pnblic-bouse , and there infusing his pernicious doctrines into the minds of those who were so unfortunate as to meet with him . One evening last
week this wretch , forgetting himself , he supposed , luckily enough for the people , got drunk , and when leaving the honse he dropped that document . The honourable gentleman here exhibited to the meeting a document , which appeared to be a certificate of the admission 0 ! the individual in question as an Orangeiuan , and bore date July 13 , 1811 . It was decorated with orange and blue ribbons , and bore the signatures of the grand master and deputy grand master of the lodge . It appeared that the person ' s name was Philips , and not Doyle , as he stated ; and that he came from the north of Irtumi . The production of the document created the greatest sensation . Mr . O'Connell then proceeded to dwell at considerable length on the folly of joining snch societies , and the great evils which they would necessarily kflict on the country . He concluded a powerful address , amidab loud cheers .
The meeting was subsequently addressed by several gentlemen , who handed in contributions ; and at the termination of the proceedings Mr . M . O'Connell annonncei the rent foe the week to amount to the sum of £ 475 15 a . 31—( iond cheers ) . Tub meeting then adjourned .

in the chair . Mr . T . Daly , R . W . and V ., after alluding to the question of Federalism , repudiated the xdea of O'Connell deluding the people , and said the time for such a game had gone by . If it were possible for the leaders to forsake the cause , the people would march without them . Messrs . Keiney and Harris then addressed the meeting . Twenty-six were enrolled as associates .

In answer he said that he had not finished his enquiry into these subjects , but as soon as he had done so he intended to submit thorn in a printed form to the public . Several were enrolled . Mr . John Lindsey will preside on Sunday next . The meetings for nexS Sunday , Monday , and Tuesday , are the same as last week .

Public Exposure op a low Wage" Man , who CONTIHUALLY BAWLS FOR "HIGH WAGES , CHEAP Bread , and Plenty Te do . "—The Committee of the Associated Journeymen Block Printers deeply regret that they are necessitated to make this public exposure of an employer of a portion of their body ; but his conduct in te .-king Aw own advantage to the detriment and injury of his brother masters , and at the serious cost of his men , leaves no alternative . The step has not been determined on until every other means have been tried , and failed , to cause justice and right to be done . We have waited on him ; reasoned with him j expostulated with him ; showed him the monstrous injury he was inflicting on the trade in general ; the nndue and improper advantage he was striving ta
possess over the rest of the master printers ; the severe tax on the income of the worker that he was the author of , without one patticle of benefit to the wearer of the fabric made more valuable by ^ the block printers' labour : all this wo nave , in a spirit of kindness and proper respect , made fully apparent , in the hope that such proceeding would lead the employer in question to do justice to those who earn his livelihood as well as their own , and prevent the necessity of a public appeal against practices ruinous to the beat interests of tbe trade . —The employer in question is Mr . Richard Dewiurst , of Aspley , Huddetafield . For the last four years he has been paying less for Ms ttork than any other employer in England . All other masters pay according to a list of prices agree *
on between the masters and the men < and lit . Dew . HIRST is the only man out of the whole number of them that seeks to '' defraud the labourer " of that which is his full due , —As before stated , we have tried every quiet and reasonable means other than this , to prevail on him to act with uprightness towards his fellow masters and the men those labour has made him what he is . Deputation after deputation have waited on him ; and , in the beginning of September last , he pledged his word that on the first day of October ( the present month ) , he would pay the price . He kept his promise for one week . He paid his men the priceB , which , as a fair and honest employer , he ought to have paid for the last four years : but at the end of a weekhe
in-, timated to his "hands" tint they must either take the old unfair prices , er leave his employment . How tantaVzing bis conduct ! Convinced by our representa . " tions of the unfairness of his proceeding , he , in a moment when the better feelings predominated , promised to d& as his brother tradesmen were doingpay a fair price far the labour of tbe "hands" he employed . When obliged , by a feeling of honour , to act np to that promise , his sordid cupidity could not brook it He had for four years been patting into his swu pocket what should have gone into the bellies or on to the backs of Mb workmen ; and he could not forego the " wages of iniquity . " Fogetful of the terrible denunciation of Holy Writ , that " cursed is he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire , " he " returned
like a dog te bis vomit , " and sought to continue a practice alike disgraceful to him as a man , dishonourable as an employer , and unfair as a competitor . The worst of the matter is , that no one but himself receives even the appearance of beneSt from his dishonourable conduct Thaugh the reduction in the price of labour that he enforces makes it lerioua matter for the men , yet it has so little effect on the total cost of the fabric , that it would not amount to half a farthing a yard . No one but himself , therefore , can pocket the proceeds of the " defraud , " and a curse muBt attach to every stiver he so disreputably becomes possessed of . And this man U a violent Corn Law RepeaUr foiseotb ! He is a bawler for extended commerce , to secure " High wages , cheap bread , and plenty to do" ! He makes
great pretensions as a "friend of the working man . " It is the workman ' s interest he has at heart ! It is for him that he wishes to procure a big and cheap loaf ! Would it not be better that this flaming " friend " should give his workmen what they are fairly and justly entitled to ? Is it honest on the part of a " big loaf" man ( all fer the suke of the workmen !) to try to make the present small loaf of his own living-earner ' s smaller than fairness would let it be ? Is this patriotic or just ? Is this the way that Mr . Dewhirat evinces the sincerity both of his own and his party ' s outrageous professions of sympathy and love for the wealthproducer ? Though he may like a "big loaf" for himself , should he be allowed to increase its s : za by
filching tbe crumbs from the table of his " hands , " and out of the mouths of the children who are to form the next generation ? Should the working Block Printers ef Mr . Dewhirat alone go short of their fair proportion of " food , " that he may np-heap wealth , and have his table well-filled ? Is it right that he alone should cause a " scarcity" in the homes of the toilers , that his " supply" may be " abundant" ? Or ought not public opinion to be brought to bear on such a man , snj he and bis practices tcorned , despised , and detested , until he leatns to do justice , and foregoes the ungodly gains sacked by the iniquity of " defrauding the labourer' ?—On behulf of the B : o : k Printers ' Trade , Thos . Graham , Sec . —Huddersfield , October 28 th , 1844 .
Enaresbro' Weavers —The weavers are demanding an advance of wanes , or rather a return to the wages paid in 1842 . If the demand is not complied with , a general turn-out is expected to take place immediately . Enfield . Glorious Triumph of Female Factory Workers—A turn-out of all the powerloom weavers of Henderson and Co ' s . factory took place on the 11 th of September , for an advanee ot wages , equal to what was paid in 1842 . On the 8 th of October Henderson sent for the weavers to come again to their work , and be wonld give them equal to what he had taken from them in that year . On these conditions they returned to their work . The day following false fuarter glasses were introduced , that wonld cheat the
weavers of one pick and upwards in each quarter of an inch . This waa immediately detected by the weavers ( females , no men being employed ) , they having correct glasses in their own possession ; and the trick was no sooner detected than they again struck . They stood out three hours , and resolved to return , and every one give a fortnight ' s notice . The moment they resumed their labour , the kind-hearted Lyena , alias Calvert , the overlooker , discharged a number of these who had taken the most active part without giving any notice . E ' . izi Smith was one of the discharged , when her sister Maria immediately said , " if my sister can be sent home by you without notice , I have a rigbt to leave without notice . What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for tbe gander ; " and she
accordingly left . Several others left also . In a few days after , summonses were iBaued against them to appear at Blackburn to answer to the charge of leaving their work without notice , and depriving the Enfield cotton Icrds ( who are more hated and despised by the worries than Beelzebub himself ) of robbing them for another fortnight with false glasses . The day for hearing the case arrived , and the parties appeared , defended by Mr . Hallstall ; Mr . Backhouse , of Blackburn , appearing for the masters ; and a more diBgraceful case never was brought before the magistrates . Calvert stood aghast ; Henderson looked dumbfoundered ; their solicitor , Mr . Backhouse , writhed and squalled out this " would never have been the case , but that
they bad been excited to this step by one of those idle demagogues who go up and down the country setting men against their masters , aud living upon the money ! " Bravo ! he forgot that the defendants were not men , but women , and of tbe right sort to , who wanted no " demagogues " to teaeh them that a false glass that would take from them a pick in every quarter , vet four picks in an inch , cr 144 picks to tbe yard , or 4 , 320 picks in one piece of thirty yards long . The case was fully established for the female workers , and the masters signally defeated . The days of tyranny are numbered , and the labourers , both male aud female , have determined to be Blavesnomere .
ASHTON-BNDER-IYNE . —POWEK-IOOM WEAVERS . —The power-loom weavers of this town are at present in a very unsettled state . On Friday evening , a meeting of weavers was held in the Chartist Association Room , when parties were appointed to form a committee to get up a publie meeting to consider what steps shall be adopted to obtain an advance upon the present prices .
OLDHAM . —TERMINATION OF THE TVRN-OUT AT Webseih Mill . —The turn-out of the spinners and self-acting minders in the employment of Mr . Daniel Dronsfleld , master spinner and manufacturer , Werneth Mill , terminated on Friday last , the master having acceded to the demand of the operatives—an advance of 2 d . per 1 . 000 hanks . STOCKPOfiT .-THE Factory Operatives . ^ was announced in the Guardian of Saturday , that the masters had agreed to allow their hands , from the highest to the lowest grade , a uniform advance ot five per cent , upon their then rate of wages . It seems , however , that the hands generally are very much dissatisfied with the amount of this advance . They allege that , when the masters seek for and make a

reduction , they do not limit themselves to five tier cent . ; and they require that the same latitude should bealtowed on tbe or . H 6 r side . Ctttaiu it is , that they seem deposed to persevere in their demind for a greater advance ; for on Monday evening a meeting of power-loom weavers was held in the Bull ' s Head Market-place , to deviBe means to effect that object ! We are informed that , at the end of last week , some of tha mastera did not even give notice of any rise at all , as was « eneia ! ly understood , would everywhere be the case . —2 Ia 7 icJiesler Guirdian .
Stike among Hakd-loom Weavers at Glasg —We regret to find , that in consequence of a dispute betwixt the hand-loom weavers and their employers , in this city , not fewer than seven hundred of the former are , at this moment , going idle Of the nature of the quarrel which has arisen betwixt the masters and the workmen , we know nothing , beyond vrhat was stated at a meeting of the latter , held in Nelson-Btteet Chapel , on Friday evening . Mr Robertson , who was on this occasion called to the chair , explained that the weavers had addressed a circular to their employers , craving an advance of ninepence on the piece of sixty yards . This circular , he observed , not being satisfactorily answered , a second was served upon the masters , in which it was stated , that if the
advance was not agreed to , those who refused would , on Monday , the 7 ih current , " buziti the loss of their workmen . " Two firms , namely , those of Messrs . Gilmow and Kerr , aud Messrs . David M'Michael and Coadvanced sixpence on the piece of sixty yards , but the others did not follow their example . The workmen of Mr . King , nol finding their wishes complied with struck work ; when certain other manufacturers gave notice , that unless Mr . King ' s men returned , they would , on the following day , turn out all their hands . In consequence of this intimation , a meeting of the operatives was held , when it was resolved , that as Mr . King ' s men had left off work without the advice or request of the general body , " they left them at liberty to return to their employment aB soon bi they pleased . " This resolution was not considered satisfactory to the masters , and five firms turned out all their weavers , to the number of 700 . In this
state of matters , the public meeting of the factory weavers , to which we have referred , and at which the above statement was made , was held on Friday evening , when resolutions were carried to the effect that the dismissal of the men for not exercising a power over Mr . King ' s men which they did not possess , was shameless , tyrannical , and cruel ; that the factory weavers , being miserably underpaid , were entitled to an advance ; that the general body of the weavers were unconcerned in the strike of Mr . King ' s men , and had no controul over them ; and that , " as those weavers who had been forced out of their employment were willing to return to thair work , if permitted ( leaving King ' s men to be guided by their own judgment ) , they were not blameable for being idle , but were compelled to be so by the will of manufacturing capitalists ; and they consequently deemed it a duty to make immediate application to the authorities of the city for employment "Glasgow Argus .

OPENING OF THE NEW ROYAL EXCHANGE . The new Royal Exchange of London was opened on Monday last , by the Queen in person . The day was observed as a general holiday , and on no previous occasion has tbe metropolis presented a more brilliant appearance . At eleven o ' clock , her Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace in the state carriage , drawn by eight cream-coloured horaes , preceded by six of the royal carriages , each drawn by six hotes , and containing the principal members of the htusehold , who usually attend the Queen on State occasions . The rsyal cortege proceeded along the parks , through Pall Mall , Cockspur-street , Charing-cross , the Strand , Fleet-street , Ludgate-hill , St . Paul ' s Churchyard , and Cheapside , to the Royal Exchange , amidst a csneourae of countless thousands who thronged the whole line of
the procession . The spectacle was a splendid and interesting one . The procession was joined at St . James ' s Palace by the carriages of the " Ambassadors , Foreign Ministers , and British Cabinet Ministers ; and at Temple-bar by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City , and other civic functionaries ; and arrived at the Royal Exchange soon after twelve o ' clock . Her Majesty and suite then went over the building . In tbe Throneroom , a suitable address was presented to her , to which she made an appropriate reply . A sumptuous banquet was afterwards served up in tbe Subscription Room . After the dejeuner , each of the gueata was presented with a commemorative medal . At half-past two o ' clock , her Majesty und suite left the banquettingroom , aud returned in procession to Buckingham Palace .
Royal Exchange . —Dreadful Accident . — Crowds of persons , on Tuesday , thronged the vicinity and entrances of the building , in expectation that the publio would be admitted to view the apartments in which the ceremonial of Monday took place . But the answer to the many applications on the subject was a statement to the effect that the publio would be admitted on Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday ; but whether this would be by tickets , or to the public indiscriminately , had not yet been decided upon . A very serious accident happened on Monday afternoon at the Exchange , during the period of her Majesty's presence there , although nothing was said of it at the time . It appears that one of the men who had the
care of the flags on the roof of the edifice lost his balance , and fell headlong through two sky-lights , alighting on one of the staircases . His injurieB were so severe , that it was at first thought that he was killed on the spot ; but on his being removed to St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital it was found that he waa still olive , although in a condition which leaves little hope of his recovery . A curious and somewhat amusing incident occurred in the Strand on Monday , during the passing of the royal proceaaion . It is usual on all such publio occasions to have many of the police stationed in different parts of the streets dressed in coloured clothes , in order the more effectually to keep an eye upoa thieves and pickpocket * One

At the same moment , as some of the constables who were keeping the line were about to pounce upon him , the latter , mistaking their brother officer in coloured clothes for a friend of the thief ' s who wished to rescue him , began to belabour him with their staves ; and it was not until after he had received several very severe blows on the head that he succeeded in making them believe that he was what be represented himself . The thief was , however , secured , and taken to the station .

opinions , he would resign his trust . Mr . Hewett answered every question put to him to the entire satisfaction of all present—except "Debt Paying Murray , " who asked him what he had . done towards the incorporation of the Borough . Mr . Hewitt said "Nothing . " In faot , he was opposed to the incorporation . Then , said Murray , striking his hand on a cable , you shall not have my vote . Alas ! poor fellow ! he ha * not a vote to give . Mr . Hewitt was then moved and seconded by two burgesses as a candidate for the Ward , and , on being put to the meeting , was carried unanimously .

Allen , and the meeting separated .
Shocking Accident . —On Tuesday afternoon last a senoua accident happened to » man in a state of intoxication , who fell upon some spikes bolonging to Mr . Horton , boiler maker , New Park-street , Borough Market , Southwark . Tho spikes were forced through the muscles of his arms , and so far had tho spikes pierced the unhappy man that it was with great difficulty two persons succeeded in disengaging him from the instrument of torture . He waa taken to the hospital . Wreck on Feltxstow Beach . —On Wednesday morning week , about one o clock , the Matilda , a schooner from Njport , in Denmark , laden with barley , bound to Southampton , came aahore at Felixstow beach , and is now lying on her broadside a total wreck , the tide washing her to pieces . —Ipswich Express .
Forgery on the Bank op England . —From the Brussels Gazette . —We would put our readers on their guard against an extensive forgery of notes of the Bank of England for one hundred younds sterling each , at present in circulation in Belgium and other parts of the Continent . These notes are so well imitated as to baffle tho closest inspection . Indeed , we are informed , that even the Bank itself has been deceived by them , for that one was actually paid upon presentation there , and it was only when the genuine note bearing the same number afterwards made its appearance , that the fraud was
detected . We have heard of j £ 700 of the said forgeries having been cashed by a ctianyeur at Brussels , and £ 2 ( 10 in Antwerp ; but that the Bank has acted in the most liberal manner by having already liquidated nearly the whole amoant of these , and it is probable they will do the samo with regard to the others as they como in , that can be proved to have been taken in the way of business . The person who duped the said parties is apparently a Frenchman , of small stature , with a good address , bub unprepossessing look , and an agent of tho Bank has come over in pursuit of him .

Repeal is Losdos . —Thcrsdat Mossisg , Oct . 31 st . —During the past week , the heads of nearly all the people in London have been turned by the Qaeea ' s visit to the City . But this did not prevent the Repealers of London from assembling in their woated numbers . At all the meetings but one feeling was expressed : a wish that her Majesty . instead of going in state to open the Royal Exchange , had been about to proceed to re-epen the Irish
Parliament in College Green . The subject of Federalism Btill continues to occupy men ' s minds : but the Repealers have not yet openly grappled with it , nor indeed in their private conversations do they speak conclusively upon the matter . They all seem to be Hatting for the plan of the Federalists ; and many of them are becoming annoyed at the delay which has taken place , and which seems likely to be more protracted in the long promised manifesto . The farther explanation which Mr . O'Connell is to give is also waited for with intense anxiety . The more ardent of the London Repealers are greatly irritated at the slightest possibility of a compromise , fcnd stoutly assert that to any such step tney will give the most strenuous opposition . Many of them triumphantly refer to the conduct of the Dublin Trades' Union , some ten years ago , by whose unflinching political steadfastness O'Connell was
compelled to agitate the Repeal question against his own inclination . Similar will be the conduct of tens of thousands now ; and , if need be , the Repealers of Ireland will have & noble example set them in this regard by the Repealers of London . If silence is much longer continued , it will produce effects which certain parties perhaps little anticipate I am right in saving that even already there are multitudes who say , If Federalism is not RepeaL we will have nothing to do with it ; and , if So two are the same , why is bo much time and consideration required to explain the difterence Ceeathem ? " The Tablet newspaper ^ has declared for Pederalbm J a conclusion at which it Wriredwith far greater rapidity than it did when becoming an advocate for Repeal Sr ? W . J . O'Conneix , Inspector General of the Repeal Wardens of London , is at present ill m Dublin .

Failsworth . —The Brutal Poor Law . —A correspondent sends us the following additional illustration of the " Condition-of-England Question . " A woman named Betty Berry , the wife of Samuel Berry , has , owing to her poverty , been in the habit of having a parochial order for medical attendance at the time of her acoouohment . On the 16 th ult ., being near her time of confienmont , she applied to tbe overseer for the usual order , which was refused , he referiug to the relieving officer . This functionary also refused her . She then applied to Mr . Maude , the magistrate at the New Bailey , Manchester , — which application occasioned her a walk of ten miles . Mr . Maude directed her to apply to tho
Board of Guardians . She did not make this last application : indeed she had not time , for the day following her confinement took place . She then sent for the medical gentleman who had attended her in several of her confinements ; but he , having an unsettled account against the husband , refused to come . She was accordingly delivered by an elderly woman , her only assistant , and died in about three hours after from hemorrhage . The following Monday an inquest was held , when a verdict was returned to the effect— ' That she died in consequence of hemorrhage , and a want of proper necessaries . " The infant died in about a week after its cruelly-treated mother .
Rochdale and Middleton . —The Anti-Poor Law Struggle . —The overseers of the respective townships composing the union , received their mandate from Somerset House , on Saturday last , for putting this law into force . It was dated October 25 ph , 1844 , and consisted of three documents , two printed and one written ; the first two were signed , Edm . \ V . Head and 6 . C . Lewis , and the last had E . Chadwick , secretary , attached to it . Mr . Chadwick says , or rather writes , that" for your information I am directed to state , that according to the provisions of the Btatute , this order will como into operation fourteen days after its being issued , and from that time it will not be lawful for the churchwardens and overseers of the township of Castleton
( as the oase may be ) to interfere in any way iu the relief of the poor of that township , except in cases of sudden and urgent necessity , but the entire administration of such will henceforth devolve upon the board of guardians of the Rochdale union , wherein the township of Castleton is comprised . " One of tho documents is rather lengthy , and contains rules for tho guidance of the guardians . The 27 th article states , " That we do further order and direct that the said guardians shall , within twenty eight days from the date hereof , appoint treasurer , medieal officer , relieving officers ; " so that in one month from last Friday , it i 3 intended that this bill shall coma into full operation in the Rochdale Union .
The Poor Law Guardians . —On Monday night , the Poor Law Guardians met at the Roebuck Inn , Rochdale , for the purpose of considering what plans should be adopted to prevent the introduction of the Now Poor Law into the parish . All the Guardians were present , with the exception of one or two , as well as the overseers of each township . It was at last decided , that a memorial should be presented to Sir James Graham , and that every rate-payer in the Union should be asked to sign it j and that , moreover , the names of those should be taken who are favourable to the new law , as well as of those who are neutral . This will be a laborious worK , on account of the extent of the Union , which reaches from Dlaokstono Edge to Bacup , and from Todmorden to Trubsmithy .
Public Meeting at Middleton . —On Monday evening last , a public moeting of the ratepayers of Middleton , convened by tho constables in pursuance of a requisition signed by 150 ratepayers , was held in tho Assembly Room , at the Old Boar ' s Head , to consider what means should be adopted to oppose the introduction of the New Poor Law into that township . The meeting was announced to take place at half-past Beven o ' olock . At eight o ' clock the room was moderately filled ; and Mr . Richard Halsall was called to the chair . He read the notice convening the meeting , and said tho overseers of Rochdale had received instructions that , in fourteen days , the New Poor Law Bill would bo enforced in that Union , and when it got so near as Rochdale , there was no telling how soon it might be brought to Middleton , so that there was no time to be lost in taking
measures to oppose its introduction . After a few other remarks , Mr . Halsall sat down . Mr . Thomas Wild then addressed the meeting , and ooncluded by proposing a resolution in opposition to the introduction of the New Poor Law Bill , which was seconded by Mr . William Lancashire and carried . Mr . John Huddart said he had been to Rochdale that day , and had been told the New Poor Law would be put in force there very shortly , for the overseers were to give over allowing out-door relief on Friday week . He would propose the second resolution : — " That the introduction of the New Poor
Law would be injurious to the inhabitants of Middleton . " Where it had been put in force , it advanced poor rates ene-fourth ; he was surprised the ministers of tho Gospel did not come forward and assist them to upset such an odious law , as they did when the Educational Bill was rejeoted . The speaker repoated the law of Moses , and condemned the New Poor Law as being worse than any thing ever proposed in any country . The motion was seconded and carried . A committee of five persons was afterwards appointed to take further steps to oppose the introduction of the atrocious law .
Dei > iford . —Defeat of a Church-iute . —An attempt w ? s last week made in the parish of St . Paul ' s , Deptford , to impose a Churoh Rate on the inhabitants , wnioh resulted iu the complete discomfiture of tho pro-Church party , tho numbers being at tho close of the poll : For the rate , 380 ; against it , 638 ; majority , 258 . A Sapient Jury . —At the Sandwich sessions , on Thursday last , " twelve wise men" returned a verdict of * ' Not Guilty" in respect of a oharge against a female prisoner , but accompanied it with the hope that she would not do it agaiu {—Canterbury Journal .
Important Application of the Steam Whistle . —It is well knowu that one of the most common causes of the explosion of steam boilers has been the want of a aufficient quantity of water in the boiler at the time that the heat underneath was very large . In inauy instances tho deficiency of water has resulted from the neligence of the attendant engineer , combined with the fact that no alarm was given , previous to the moment of explosion , of tho exact state of the water in the boiler . Happily an efficient and simple exponent of the depth of water in the boiler at the time of working , and whioh will aofc as a powerful alarum in oase of danger , has just been applied to the steam boilers at one of the largest manufacturing establishments in the neighbourhood of Loads . By affixing a small pipe in communication
with the interior of a boiler at that point below which it is well known to be unsafe to allow the water to be consumed in the generation of steam , and at the top of such tube putting one of the common whistlos that are attached to the railway locomotive ongines , a very efficient alarum , as we have said , is formed ; for as soon as the water "within the boiler has been consumed bolow the point whore the pipe enters the boiler , the steam will rush up the pipe , and thence into the whistle , giving a timol y warning of the donoiency of water in the boiler . We are not aware whether any similar means of safety have been tried at any other place ; but whother it has or not , we think tho subject is of sufficient importance to warrant us in giving the information , conveyed in this paragraph to the public—Times .
An Aged CoMrosram . —A letter from Hamburgh says , "last Saturday all the persons engaged on tho daily journal , the Correspondent Impartial de Ilambourg , celebrated by a dinner the 60 th anniversary of the entry of ono of the compositors , named Hein , on the paper . During that long period he had not missed his work a single day . He is now eighty eight years of age , enjoys excellent health , and does his work like a young man . There were 220 persons present at the dinner , including all the master printers of the place One of theso gontlemen , M . Bodecker , sent 100 pineapples , 4001 b . of fine grapos , and an iminonse quantity of flowors , for the feast . "
Tub Polka . —There is as much injenuity in the Polka as would require for its invention a little study from a man with curvilinear tastes , and a liberal use of the legs . It was born in Bohemia , of the peasants , and educated in Paris . There it beoame the fashion . Fools vied fools to learn it in a despeato hurry . It crossed the ocean ; it landed in New York , was oonveyed to Saratoga , and there a clever Prussian inoculated the crowd with it . By a felicitous coincidence it fell in with political names , aud the word polka is henceforward naturalized .
Capture op Three Sharks . —On Sunday last while some of the fishermen employed at Hood ' s Head fishery were drawing in their nets , they experienced , like the fisher in the Eastern tale , great difficulty in bringing them to land . When their task was at length accomplished , the obstruction was found to arise , not from an iron casket enclosing a genii , but from a couple of young sharks whioh had got entangled in the meshes , and were making furious ( struggles to escape from the unwonted prison . Both measured upwards of seven feet in length . The stomach of one contained a grilse and a trout After the oil had been extraoted , the caroaaeB were removed to a field near Townhill Colliery to serve as mSe On the Tuesday previous , one equally large was caught , making three of these voraoious and dangerous fish caught wikhia the vmi ,-Berwick Advertiser .
