Ajtgeusistas . —From Afighanistan ^ sre learn that jjost Mahpnnned and his son Akhbsr , ^ srere governing jjiat country according to their ancient rules . It was gald -thai ibe Dost and Ms son , the "Vizir , "were disposed to quarrel "with the now enfeebled Government JfXahore , and to demand the restitution to the Afghans of the provinces on the irestern bank of the Indus , inclnding Peshawar , &c , and perhaps also the jar-famed TaBey of Cashmere , of which the Afighans ¦ vfere rulers some years ago . These demands cannot 2 » acce 3 ed to In- Seexa .

Gwjoiob . — In Gwalior the Minister Ram Rao Pialkea continnes to be unpopular , and attempts hare been made on Ms life . The capital is disturbed in consequence , and disaffection is rife . Itaa > nxx 7 n > is quiet ; the ex-Raj ans of Jeitpoor fceins shout to be surrendered to the British authorities " by Ms own adherents , who are tired of long marches , and aQ the sufferings of midnight marjauders in the mountains of that district . From Cjo-cttt ^ the cMef news relates to the quiet proceedings of Sir Henry Hardinge , who appears jo be studying the polities of India . His only public set hare been directed towards extending education . The MiDBj . s Gotekshevt was , like that of Bomfaav , bnsy in preparing troops for the Kolapore country .
From Bombay the cMef points are the conviction of the infamous Aloo Paroo , for being implicated in burning the merchant sMp Belvedere in Singapore harbour . This scoundrel appears to have made a practice of burning sMps which he had insured , and of whieh : five or six were destroyed within four years . Another subject of interest in Bombay arose from the Kfflnnitment fo ? trial -at the December criminal sessions of Thomas Braitbwaite , the master of the sMp Neptune , from Liverpool . He , it appears , treated the steward with great cruelty , and actually save upwards -of 200 lashes to a French lad on board for some supposed offence . The case of this boy was brought forward by a French merchant , named Bonssac , who received every assistance from the masistraies . The trial of Brarthwaite , for his cruelty , sras loudly demanded by tie pnblie of that Fresiiencv .
Cbxs ± . —From China the intelligence comes down to the end of August .

- Scaxdaixtcs ABBicu bt a Gajjekkepeb . —A man named Thomas Abrams Abrarrw , who has long been a fevourite gamekeeper of the Daks of Buckingham , was , onSatoday last , justb convicted at the Buckingham Petty Sessions , of kicking and beating on ¦ fiie head with his gun , a young man or lad of -Maidmorton , named East . The ¦ wound on the poor fellow ' s head , and the blood which smothered the jacket of the complainant , proved the ferocity of the fellow . The lads were amusing themselves by throwing stones at some birds in a hedge ( no game was near ) , when Abrams pounced upon them , using the most horrid language of fury and passion , and finally beating to the earth , with his gun , the unfortunate complainant . Abrams was fined £ 5 , or in default to be sent to Avlesburv tread-wheel for two months . He was
taken away and locked up by Mr . Giles , not being able to get two sureties . Abrams was again brought forward on a charge of shooting at J . East , Jolly , and Pargetter , wounding East in the hand , and striking shots in the cap of JoDy . The further hearing of this charge was put off until Tuesday , in order that Abrams might have some person to assist at the examination . On Tuesday the case was again brought on , when the room was so densely crowded that it was impossible to take notes of the proceedings . The examination of the case , however , was proceeded with , and brought to a conclusion by Abrams being committed for trial at the next assizes for the county . He was allowed to find bail , and was bailed out on Wednesday by two of the duke ' s tenants , one of whom went to Stowe for permission that very morning' . — Avlefhurv 2 ieu . 't .

She screamed out , and succeeded in getting into the tavern , where she was placed in a chair . The flesh protruded from the wound in the neck , and the blood nowed out with increased force from the wound in tbe back every time she breathed . Mr . JIacaulay , surgeon , was sent for ; and subsequently the girl was removed to her residence , the Albert " Inn , where she lies in a
most dangerous state . The man was apprehended upon the spot , but made considerable resistance . Thx Baxk Robberv . —The ro } K > rtsaid to have been in circulation yesterday . "That four of the 411 , 000 notes stolen from Messrs .

We are of opinion that much improvement may be made in the general management of the Midland
Railway , particularly at the . Nottinoliam station , tending materially to secure the public safety . We think it important that the servants , and particularly the enjrine men and sruards , should be instructed in and suitably impressed with the imporfcuice of the printed rules , and that as much as possible they should be observed to the letter . We ar » - also of opinion lhax Jonathan Raven , the Beesum-ciation master , has given evidence before this inquest which the jury ean place no reliance upon , and that he ought to forfeit tW t-o : > . * k '' -v t-p of the company , and be no longer retained as a pubiic * e rvant .

The Double Sihidl at ntep . vev . —1-v"nerai . of the Deceased . —It having been reported that the bodies of the unfortunate couple would be interred in one grave , on -Sunday afternoon , in Beaumont Cemetery , Stepney , a larsre concourse of persons of both sexes assembled to witness , the sad though novel ceremony . They , however , weresomewhat disappointed , as the relatives of the i 33-fated young woman objected , notwithstanding her dying vriib , to laying her remains with tho > e of her deceased suitor . The parochial officers expressed a hope that the bodies should not be buried together , as such a proceeding might be calculated to give a kind of countenauee to such tragedies . Accordingly , the body of the female was , on
Saturday afternoon , consigned to its nnai resting place in Globe-fields burial-ground , Globe-road , Mileend . The funeral was kept strictly private . On Sunday afternoon the body of the young man was privately interred in Beaumont Cemetery . Milascholt Accident . —A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Tuesday forenoon , at Clitheroe . Whilst Robert Clark and John Bartle were engaged in the operation of grinding , owing to the extraordinary velocity -with -which the stone was moving , or some other tause , it flew asunder irora centrifugal force , and one part struck John Bartle under the chin , inflicting such injuries as to cause instant death .
Dreadful Murders is King ' s County . —The town and neighbourhood of Frankford was thrown into a state of excitement on Friday nijrht last by tb « announcement of a savage and brutal murder , which it was ascertained had recently been committed at Cooltin , two miles south of that town , in the parish and barony of Ballyboy and King ' s County , on the bodies of two farmers , pained Thomas and William Sheppard . The particulars are as follows : —Ambrose , Thomas , and William Sheppard , conjointly , took a farm of about 24 atres , at Cooliin , intheinontb of August last , from which a family , named Daly , were previously evicted or ejected for non-payment ol" rent . After agreeing for the land with tbe landlord , the Rev . Ralph Cooie , and before
going to reside on it , a threatening notice was served at Kerryrooley , near Rahan , where they then resided , which notice they disregarded , and entered into the occupation of the farm : s . fter which a second notice was xrrved on a j > ortion of their family who still resided : lt 1 k-rryi-ooley . statum . " that ii ' tlir Sheppards at Cooitin persevere ! to occupy Italy ' s farm they would be murdered . " Vf this , as of the former , they were heedless , evincing resolution and determination , by nisip-j all possibk- means to protect tbeniselves , beini : wt-1 ] aiTiied , and having their dwe-Jliiur-Louse in a strong state of defence , with a fire-proof room therein constructed bv themselves , in which they rested by nicht with perfect safety ; but laie . lv they became apparently intimate with the people residing ¦
in thai neighbourhood , and were not ' so apprehensive uf danger as heretofore , so that Thomas and Wiliiam remained in the house il < r the last few days , while Ambrose went to Derryeooley to bring up his wife , child , and furniture . On Friday night last he returned , and , on approaching the house , he found it dark and apparently deserted . 'J'he door was closed ; he pushed it in , and called loudly for his brothers , but receiving no answer , be became alarmed , went to MVwife , who liad remained outside , and made known bis suspicions . Without further delay he ran into the town of Frankford , to the Constabulary Barracks . Head-constable Maj . 'ennisand party promptly repaired to Cooliin with him , and , bavin ; : procured a light , searched the house , and found Thomas 6 lieppard lying with his face on the floor , and bis head literallv smashed to pieces , and the brains nrotruding .
An iron hatchet covered with blood was clo > e to the "body . William Sheppard was not in the house . They then made search about the farm , v . inch , from the darkness of the night , proved unavailing ; but on the following morning , when dayhgbt came , the search was renewed , and William Sheppard was then found lyiu ;» in a ditch some distance from the house , most 5 jarbarous ] y murdered , his head brokt-n to pieces , and the brains escaping . A spade broken to pieces wasfound near the body . This bloody and inhuman deed must have been perpetrated in the Say time , probably on Friday morning , as it appears they were seen at an early hour on that morning at then" labour near the houte : and Ambrose Sheppard , on his arrival , found their horse harnessed in the fields . On Saturday , at twelve o ' clock , Mr . JamesDillon , county coroner , " held an inquest , when a verdict of * ' Wilful Murder aeainst some persons unknown" was recorded .
Impobtaxt Discussion on the Corn I ^ aws a Boljotbth . —AcLAXD Floored . —One of the largest and most important meetings that has ever taken place in Hobniirta was held in the Town Hal , on TbjMsday last , to hear a discussion between Mr . Harper , ' the lecturer of the Yorkshire Protective Society and the notorious Mr . Aeland ^ the agent of the' Anti-Corn Law League . The spacious hall was densely crowded , and there were upwards of 2 , 000 people present . The Chairmen and Umpire having been appointed , Mr . Harper first addressed the meeting—and on rising was received with loud cheering . He said he had come there to discuss a great and im-

portant subject—that of free trade . All classes admitted the existence of national evils , and the questions to-night were , will the adoption of free trade principles remove those evils , or , will protection extended equally to all classes be efficient in removing them ? The speaker then went on to demonstrate the necessity of protection in a national point of view , in support of which he showed that the policy of foreign nations was almost unanimously in favour of protection , and we therefore ought as a nation to protect ourself in self-defence ; he showed also the necessity of protection in order to the maintenance of the revenue . He next adverted to the justice and necessity of protection being equally extended to all sections of societv , and argued that
no government could be based securely , neither would it be permanently prosperous , unless the poor producer as well as " the rich consumer were equally protected by the laws of th ^ land . He next sho-wed the necessity of the Corn Laws and agricultural protection and with a variety of most telling arguments , com pletely convinced nearly the whole of the vast assem bly of the justice and necessity of the Corn Laws ; the effect of these laws being to raise the wages of the agricultural labourer , ana to better the condition of the farmer . This he proved from the doctrines laid down by Dr . Adam Smith and all other great free trade writers . He then took a glance at the ruinous consequences of free trade^—showing that wherever those principles had been brought into
practice under the present commercial arrangements of the world , that the profits of the honest manufacturer had been constantly decreasing , while the wages of the operative had been rapidly sinking . In support of this he adduced a variety of statistics from Messrs . Marshall , Brocklehurst , Fielding , Porter , Baines , and the financial accounts of the Housu of Commons . His time having expired he sat down greatly cheered . —Mr . -Acland then rose and began his address by quoting Colonel Thompson ' s definition of protection " , whieh was , " If A l-ob B , and B rob C , and C rob D , D bad no right to rob any one else , lie then proceeded to abuse and denounce the landlords in no very measured terms , and ¦ wondered how anv man could advocate a class who
dealt in injustice , inhumanity , and fraud . Mr . II . had quoted a statement purporting to be his ( Mr . A . ' s ) , that the Corn Laws were a tax upon foodsuch a statement he never made . He never said the Corn Laws were a tax on food ! or that we should get food any cheaper by a repeal of Corn Laws ; and concluded by asking what right had any man or any class of men to interfere between man ' s necessity and God's bounty . His time having expired , he sat down feebly cheered by his own partv , who were surprised he had not done much better . Several other speeches from each party followed , but our limits , will not allow us to give more than the result , which ended in a complete triumph to the
principle of protection . When the discussiou had terminated , Mr . Martin came forward and proposed , " Is it the opinion of this meeting that Mr . Harper hasjproved the necessity of protection by the Corn Laws '{ " and Mr . llobinson , on behalf of Air . Aeland , asked , " Is it the opinion of this meeting that Mr . Aeland has proved the necessity of Free Trade <" Tbe two motions were put , when at the least there were three to one in favour of protection . The referee chosen by the ^ Free Traders was appealed to , and he publicly continued Mr . Martin ' s statement . The der ision was received with acclamations and cheers . Thus concluded the greatest meeting evei held in llohnnrth on any occasion .

Roberts , at the first hearing , took an objection to the information , which was held to be fatal . The comp lainants applied to the court for time to amend the inibmiation , am ] to take eoonseJ ' s opinion , which WHS > : vaiite < l ; and Friday , Nov . "i ' . 'th , fixed for the further hearing of the ease . Tliisdiiy , then , the parties again appeared ; and it soon £ auie out that the information had been sent to London , cither to be drawn up afresh or to procure counsel ' s opinion on it . Mr . Roberts , who appeared for the defendant * , had not an opportunity of seeing the information until he appeared in court ; and only had n few minutes to examine it bcfuiv the hearing came on .
Mr . Monk , barrister at law , appeared to conduct tlie case lor the complainants . Win . Taylor was first called up . Mr . Monk said this was another case arising out oi" the differences between Messrs . Pauling and their men , and whieh had occupied so much of the public attention . Air . Roberts here rose and said , that lie thought this the proper time to make an objection which he had to rai > e . The objection was , that a man could not be tried twice for the same offence . This lie submitted was the case with his client ; for , notwithstanding that the wording of the Information was altered , yet tlie offence was the same . He referred to several cases in support of his position . The Court over-ruled the objection ; and Mr . Roberts requested that . Mr . Maude , the stipendiary magistrate , would make a note of the objection , as it might be wanted if he found it necessary to take the case into the court of Wueen ' s Bench .
Mr . Monk then said that the information was laid for breach of a written agreement betwixt the persons charged and Messrs , Pauling and others , Master Builders , oi > Hulme ; . which agreement they , the persons charged , had hot fulfilled . He called Mr . Richard Clark Pauling , who proved the signing of the document at Derby , on the 19 th day of Oct . last . Air . Roberts had several objections to take to the information ; in fact , it was not worth a straw . The first objection wa * , that only a jxirt of the agreement was mentioned in the information . In the contract were these words : " according to the annexed roles . " He ( Air . Roberts ) wanted to know what rules ? Why were the rules not mentioned in the information ? They ought to have been there
to assist the Alagistratesin the investigation . Their not being there , was fatal no the information . His next objection was , that tlie information was bad in law , inasmuch as it was not properly made out . He believed , in cases of partnership , that the names of all tbe partners should be given in full . But in this information it was " Air . George Pauling and others , Master Builders at Ilulnie . " lie considered this l ) ad in law , just as much so as an imperfect venue in an indictment . He had another objection , and that was , that the contract was contrary to tlie Mani ]> Act . The Stamp Act allowed contracts between "' masters and servants" to be unstamped ; but tlds particular contract did not come within the meaning of that clause , inasmuch as the parties were not " servant !? , " as the document itself would shew . He submitted to the Bench that the contract should have been a stamped one ; and
being unstamped , was not binding , lie had many other objections , which of themselves would be fatal . He would mention another ; that was , that his clients did not come within the meaning of tlie Act of Parliament under which the information was laid , lie refeml , to the words , " artificer and other persons . " His clients did not answer to the parliamentary definition of the word '' artijirer . " In support of liis argument , he referred to . several Aet-S of Parliament which defined the term in < jiicstion—the 27 th Ceo . 11 ., chap . Oth ; the . ' 51 st ( Ji'u . 11 .. chap 11 th ; the otith Geo . 111 ., and the " Truck Ait . " In all of these it was set forth what description of workers were included in the term " artificer : " but in none of them was to be found either "joiner" or " carpenter . " It might be said that the word " artificer" was a general term , lie admitted it : but thev were not to reason his clients
into prison ; but they must go " according to law , He would particularly call their attention to the Truck Act . In that Act the word " artificer" was defined ; and in that definition "joiners" were not included , as he bad explained . It might be asked what that had to do with the Act under which the information was laid ? He submitted that if the legislature deban'cd his clients from the benefits and protection of the one Act , it might be reasonably supposed that it was intended to exempt them from the penalties of the other . There was also the case of " servant-labourers , ' for wliich a separate clause was made in the Act ; and if the legislature had intended
to include "joiners , " would it not have made a separate clause for the "joiner" as well f He argued that "joiners ' " were not " servants ; " for " servants : " were parties whom the master could caU at any time to do anything he wanted doing . That constituted a " servant . " A joiner was not such ; for even durint : the hours of labour the master had no power to make him do anything but work at joinerintr . Mr . Roberts occupied an hour and three quarters in arguing on his several objections , during the whole of wliich time , notwithstanding the court was crowded to suffocation , every word was listened to with lireatbless attention . In conclusion , Mr . Roberts submitted his objections to the consideration of the Court , and resumed his sent .
Air . Alaude said , that Air . Roberts had raised one objection which was fatal to the infonnation , namely , the omission of the rcees , which formed one part " of the contract . Air . Alonk thought not . He thought that the rules were no part of the contract , Mr . Maude : You might as well contend that if we had a contract , occupying a full sheet of paper , there was sufficient to prove the contract on one-half , and that the other half might be cutoff and dispensed with , as no part of the contract . A lengthy discussion then ensued between Mr . Alaude and Air . Monk , which was put an end to by Hi . Maude deciding that the information was bad . He therefore dismissed the case . Mr . Monk then said he would withdraw the other informations . Mr . Roberts : No , you will not . I appear in them all ; and they must share the fate of the one just heard . The men have entered their plea , and are in custody . They must be " delivered " in due
course . Mr . Maude : Are the rest precisely similar to the one just heard ?

Mr . Mank : Precisely tlie same . Mr . Maudfe : Then they must be treated in the same way . The ease against each is dismissed . Mr . Roberts , to the prisoners : You are all discharged ! This announcement was received with one simultaneous bnrst of applause . Thus has Labour aehieveaanother victory over vindictive feeling . ^ When Mr . Roberts beat Mr . Rutter on the first hearing , one of the " firm of Pauling ' s " gaid that they would expend £ 20 , 000 before they wouldbebeatby such aman as Roberts . They took their steps accordingly . They sought the advice of counsel ; they sent the informations to London to be drawn ; they retained Mr . Monk , with Mr . Rutter as attorney ; and after all they were beaten by the poor man ' s attorney .
How galling ! : How annoying ! And what a lesson does this case teach to the Workers ! Had there not been an honest and able " Attorney-general" in Court for the mm , every one of the defendants would at this moment have been in prison . Their committal would have followed , as a matter of course . They would have had to mount the tread-wheel with the felon and the thief . Nothing but a cry of "serve ' em right ! " would have been heard on one hand , and a sullen feeling of mixed commiseration and vengeance , arising from a ' strong sense of injustice , on the other . As it is , the " master" class have been taught that they cannot " cannot strain the law" with impunity ; and the workers have been inspired with confidence and determination to rely on the law , and to seek for the law ' s protection .
Gheat Turx-odt of Mechaxfcs axd ottiers at Bury . —On Tuesday morning the engineers , millwrights , moulders , mechanics , pattern makei ^ s , jrrinders , &c , to the number of upwards of one hundred , besides many labourers , at Messrs . William Kay and Sons' foundry and machine shops , Boltonstrcet , or bottom of Bury-Jane , Bury , all turned-out , in consequence of their piasters employing hands in the above branches who came from other places with quittance papers : Immediately after they had struck work they held a meeting in a large room at the Hare and Hounds Inn , Bo ] ton-street , at which it was stated they were determined to remain out -until the quittance papers were abolished . It was also
stated that the foreman of the works , and also their masters , had used various means to induce the hands not to join tlie trades ' unions . The men had been offered higher wages for three years if they would leave thci union ; But it was stated that onjy one man had accepted tlie otter . Delegates were sent by the meeting to Boltun , Manchester , Roehdak , Oldham , and other places , to acquaint the members of the various trades' unions in those places with the objects of their turn-out . The men , it appears , complain of many of the masters of tlie trade agreeing together not to receive any new hands unless they bring a quittance paper from their last employer . They eontend , that if thev submit to this , wages will decline .

LONDON ) PiMLico , —The Wasn Maki-ibs . —A crowded and enthusiastic meeting was held inAhe Assembly Room of the Bekrave Tavern , Ebury-street , on . Wednesday evening , December the 4 th , for ! the purpose of giving the electors and inhabitants an opportunity , of expressing their sympathy with ; the patriots , trost , Williams , and Jones . Mr . William Wbitehorn was unanimoualy called to the chair , and in a neat but brief speech , opened the proceedings . Mr . W . Matthews read a memorial in accordance with the object , and moved its adoption . Mr . F . O'Connor rose amidst great applause to second tlie memorial . He said he quite agreed with the working man who had addressed them , that Frost ' s crime was not treason , but Chartism . The trials of the Welsh Martyrs had shown
the gross inequality of the laws . ' They ( the martyrs ) Had to pay down in hard cash jl . OOO guineas , before two counsellors could be got to stir in advocacy of the accused ; wliilst the Queen could have six advocates to conduct the prosecution at the expense of the people . ( Hear , ! hear . ) Who , under such circumstances , would says the laws were equal , or that those men had had a fair trial ? ( Hear , bear . ) Again , all jurymen inust be electors , and the persons tried , it would be remembered , were the advocates of the non-electors , claiming the vote . Such a . jury was as bad as the putting twelve Protestants ift the box to try a Catholic . ( Loud cheers . ) Mercy was said to be the brightest jewel in the Crown , yet with all the royal births , royal christenings ,
visitings , and glorious victories , no jmerev had been shown to Frost and his fellow martyrs . ( Hear , hear . ) Alrl O'Connor then entered into a luminous exposition of the principles of the People ' s ( t'harter , and concluded a very eloquent address amidst the most tremendous cheering . The memorial was j then put to the meeting , and earned unanimously , 4-Mr . Cutfay , in a short but forcible speech , moved a resolution in favour of the People ' s Charter , which > vas seconded by Mr . Stallwood , and carried unanimously . On the motion of Mr . O'Connor , seconded by Mr . Ford , a vote of thanks was unanimously awarded to the Chairman . Three cheers were then given for the Charter , and three loud cheers for Mr . O'Connor , aad tbe meeting was dissolved . :
ROTIIERIIAM . Practical Chartism . —Perhjaps it may not be uninteresting to the readers of ; the Northern Sun- to learn how the cause of substantial reform is progivssing in the town of Rotherham' and its vicinity . Politically speaking , Rotherham has , for the last three years been a dead letter—a cypher , in the work of political redemption , and , I may add , is yet . And if we were to judge of the amount of intelligence oi' tlaworking people in the aggregate , by their demonstrations of public opinion , we should have to number the scale at zero . Such is the deplorable apathy and supinencss here amongst the workers . However , to make some amends for past e ' rrors and omissions , a few of the working people established a
land-allotment society about eighteen Imonths since , for the purpose . of purchasing one rood of land for each of its members , by weekly contributions of sevenpence . The society owes its origin to the visit of Mr . Orange , < 'i popular lecturer on the land-allotment system . But there is this difference between the system Mr . Orange sought to establish and ours : Mi ' . Orange ' s system would only make us tenants ; OUV 3 , proprietors . IJJs was to rent land ; ours , to purchase land . And the society is now ! in possession of nearly four-and-a-half acres of land , which was divided into fourteen Jots , and ballotted for last week . Sevenpence per week is the amount ) of contributions ; and with what we have contributed , the advances some of the members have made , and what is borrowed , we have paid £ 3 ]^ for tbe land . —Correspondent .

Extraordinary 'Cibcoistance . —A short time ago a fine strong pig , about a year old , was missed from the farm of the Rev . T . Cator , at Wath . Wood . Every search was made for the p ig , : and notice was given to the associations in the neighbourhood under the belief that it was stolen . The other day , however , on removing a large quantity of straw , ' the produce of a wheat stack wliich had been ! thrashed out for seed , the poor animal was found at [ the bottom , still alive , having been buried under the straw for a period of seven weeks all but two days . ! The straw , it appears ,
as it was thrashed , was carried from the barn and thrown over the wall of the ! fold-yard . The pig it would appear had been underneath the wall , and , no doubt , liking the warmth of tlie straw , had laid under it until it had so far accumulated that it was unable to get out . The poor animal had eaten a large hole into the earth , and apparently had subsisteo on no other food than what the ground afforded . The straw was removed for the purpose of making it into a stack , or the pig might have remained perhaps for a considerable time longer . —HonawUr chronicle . ; ¦
Emigration to the Tropics . —On Sunday afternoon last , the Society , held its usual meeting at the Parthenium , 72 , St . Martiji ' s-Jane . After the usual business had been finished , thfc deputation appointed to wait upon the Ambassador ; of Venezuela , made a report that they had been eceiyed most courteously by his Excellency , who informed them that the religion of the Republic was Catholic ; but that the priests were paid by the State as all the Qhurch property at tbe time of the revolution was confiscated and the tithes abolished . They are , tht-refore , the servants of the Republic . The utmost liberty in the expression of opinions , political and religious , is allowed by the laws ; but , as a matter of prudence at first , emigrants should not run counter to the prejudices of the ma titude who were not overwise , as in most other coun- [ i . ¦ : ¦ > >
trres . Lnngrants are free from taxes for fifteen years . They choose their magistrates and police ; become , citizens the moment ; they land in the Republic , and all their personal property is admitted free of duly . The taxes for tbe expense of the Government are raised from a tariff ; a copy will be sent the society { shortly . Joint-stock Companies are encouraged , and may have a charter granted to them . The report gave the greatest satisfaction , except that |> art alluding to the priests . ! However , as all the emigra nt ** will hereafter have a >; oice in legislating on this subject , they hope no eviljwill result . In connection with the sdciet y , a company is forming to assist in carrying over those who are unable to pay their own passage . The particulars will shortly be published , i

On the question being put , every one refused , stating that their connexion with the Rechabites had proved beneficial , and they would not leave the society at the word of any man . Mr . ( r . Scott conjured them , by the love of country , and their holy religion , to respect jthe order of him who was the father of their eountryi It was not for them to dictate to the Liberator : thejr duty was obedience . Mr . Dales followed in the same strain , but the " Hoys" were not to be shaken Jin their resolve .

SCOTLAND . Mn . Clark ' s Torn . —To the Chartists of EnyUnu . l . — My friends , it affords me the highest gratification to be enabled , i ' rora time to time , to communicate with you on the progress of our glorious cause , and the success attendant on my humble endeavours to render it successful . But the ordinary feelings of one engaged in struggling for his country ' s freedom some times give place to those of a higher and somewhat indescribable character , and lead him to anticipations of a brighter future , compensating him for what he may have suffered in tlie past , and inspiring him with renewed confidence and increased exertion . Such , I confess , is tlie nature of the sensations
which now occupy my mind , and which induces me to speak encouragingly to those who are engaged with me in trying to destroy the various causes which have conspired to make mankind miserable . I am led to address you in this strain from the manner in whieh I have been received by our northern neighbours , and tlie wonderfully improved state of public feeling through the country generally , which warrants me in asserting that , ere long , Chartism will again occupy that proud position which it lost for a time only , in consequence of the base subserviency and bare-faced : apostaey of some of those who wore formerly engaged as its advocates . —On Monday and
Tuesday evenings last , 1 lectured to attentive , numerous , and respectable meetings in the Chartist Hall , Greenoek : the subject of the first lecture being " The state of parties ;' of the second , " The duty of the working classes . " At the close of both meetings I tried to provoke discussion , but could not succeed . I had , however , the pleasure of forming a promising locality of the National Charter Association . The cause lierehas suffered severely at the hands oi a preaching scamp , named Thompson , who , after having pocketed a large share of the Chartist funds , has now , with time parsonic foresight , discovered that were the Charter made law there would be an end to
civilized society ; and that the Chartists themselves , as a body , are " Infidels . " Through the instigation of this ' saint , ' the superintendent of police has been induced to interfere with the Chartists , and attempt to take forcible possession of the room , for whieh he is likely to pny rather dearly ; as the Chartists have entered an actinn-against him for assault , whU-li to . all appearance will terminate in their favour . —On Wednesday I visited Linlithgow , and in the evening had the pleasure of addressing a meeting composed ot the " good and true" of that democratic little town . Mr . Peter Duncan , a young man with the most
promising abilities as a public speaker , was called to the chair ; find , after a brii-f but eti'eetive speech , introduced me tu lecture . I occupied about two hours in reviewing the relative positions of the League and Chartist party , at the same time contrasting the merits of tlie principles of Ixttli parties . At the close , tl ^ e chairman stated , that as Chartists were advocates of freedom , they were desirous of affording a practical proof of it , by granting to all present the same privilege of opposing , that 1 had uf giving : utterance to my sentiments . . No antagonist appearing , the business of the evening was brought to a close bv votinsr thanks to myself and tbe
chairman ; after which I began to enroll , and succeeded in adding a goodly number to our Association . — On .-Thursday I proceeded to Kdinburgh ; and certainly I never went unywhert 1 with worse spirits , as I had boon led to . suppose that the inhabitants of the Scotch metropolis were strongly opposed to our party , though professedly attached to our principles under another name . To my satisfaction , however , 1 was most agreeably disappointed ; foT nowhere , in Scotland , at least as tar as I have had an opportunity of judging , is there to be found a more sterling body of real- Chartists than those with whom 1 had the honour of associating whilst in the " King of cities . " In . the evening 7 addressed a large and attentive meeting in a
commodious chapel , on " the present position and future prospect of political parties . " From the manner in wliich my views were received , 1 have every reason to suppose they were participated in by the meeting , who appeared perfectly satisfied that Chartism was destined to live when Toryism , Whiggery , and Leagueism will be forgotten , or if thought of at all , only to be loathed or execrated . —On Friday evening 1 lectured to an overflowing audience at Leith , a veteran ( . 'hart 1 st presiding on the occasion . The subject was the same as on the previous evening . At the conclusion I enrolled several new members , anil established another locality . — On Saturday j delivered a second lecture to a very numerous and highly respectable meeting in Edinburgh , on " Trades' I ' nions , the cause of their failure , and the means to be taken to render them
successful . " Mr . J . ( ummings was unanimously chosen to preside . In tbe course of my lecture J reviewed a pamphlet issued by the Messrs . Chambers , a sort of a dialogue between the "Employer and Employed , " exposing the bare-faced and infamous perversion of truth which it contains . I recommended the formation of a National Trades'Union , and cooperation , as the only means of removing that surplus labour which is : the instrument made use of by the employers at the present time to reduce wages . At the close a discussion was entered into , which was conducted" in a good spirit , and kept up till a late hour ; after which I began the work of enrolment , and disposed of a great quantity of cards . A strohg locality has been formed in Edinburgh , which I venture to predict willgi-ow with the times , and ere long set an example to the rest of Scotland everyway worthy of imitation . Thomas Clakk .
