-POOR LAW SETTLEMENT . The Corn Law debate was delayed by a motion of Mr . Haskes for a Select Committee to take into consideration the laws relating to the Settlement and Removal of the Poor . The motion was seconded by Mr . Spooxer , and opposed by Sir R Peel and Sir J . Giuhui , the last two speakers declaring that the measure relating to this-sulgect , which had been proposed by govern-3 iient , was not intended , aud had not been announced by them , as any compensation to the agricultural interest for the repeal of the Corn Laws . _ The motion was ultimately withdrawn , in opposition to the earnest entreaties of Col . Siuthorp .
CORN IMPORTATION BILL-ADJOURXED
DEBATE . The adjourned debate upon the Cora Laws was resumed by Mr . Fisch , who had the advantage of an audience exclusively composed of members of nis own « ide of the house . [ For some little time Mr . Hume had continued to t * cupy his ordinary seat ; but on perceiving his solitary situation , he passed over , amid some merriment , to the Ministerial benches . ] During the greater part of Mr . Finch ' s speech there were not twenty-five members present . The lion , member , however , by no means disconcerted , carried on most pertinaciously " the tkread of his argument , " solaced , perhaps , by the occasional cheers of Mr . P . Borthwick . The only particular feature in Mr . Finch ' s speech wasa proposition to revivetheUorfblk equi-cs' scheme for establishing a sliding scale of wages in the agricultural districts . He was decidedly opposed to the measure before the house .
Lord Rendlesham , Mr . Fellowes , and Mr . Fuller opposed tiie measure . Mr . 1 \ BoaiHfficK entered npon the wide field of £ gures , political philosophy , seeking to neutralise free trade statistics by asingular compound of Cocker aud Uurke . Mr . C . Bcller reminded the last speaker , who had eulogised " the wisdom of our ancestors , " that long debates like the present were an innovation of modern times , lie ab ' y exposed the gross inconsistency of the Protectionist party , who in the same breath denied the existence of any famine in Ireland , and advocated a proposition for the relief of that distress by opening the ports to the admission of foreign grain . Lord G . Bexiixck delivered a lengthy Protectionist speech , ; and fiercely assailed the alleged delinquencies of the present government .
^ On the motion of Sir J . Graham , the debate was then adjourned . In the course of a conversation which followed , Sir R . Peel declared that no effort should be wanting on Lis pirt to induce the house to pass the Corn Bill before Easter . Themotion > asthen , by leave , withdrawn ; the other orders of the day disposed of , and the house adjourned .
HOUSE OF LORDS-Fridat , March 27 . _ On the motion of Lord Brocguam , a new bill for pjmplifying the conveyance of land was read a first time , and tbe second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill was postponed till after the Easter recess . Several other bills were forwarded a stage , and the bouse adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS-Fridat , March 27 .
THE TEN HOURS' BILL . An hon . member presented a petition from the workmen in the factory ofJMessrs . Uorner , of Bolton in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill . TIIE CORN LAWS-ADJOURNED DEBATE . After the presentation of a petition by Mr . Cobden sssjned by 1 U of Sir J . Graham ' s tenants on his Xetherby estate , praying that the government measure might be passed without delay , the adjourned debate was opened by Sir J . Graham , in a lengthy and clever speech having answered Lord G . Bcntinck ' s objection to the m -asure , founded upon its alleged tendency to produce uucertainty of supply and fluctuation of price in foreisngrain , he proceeded to the " panic" Dart of
the question , re show tie nature of the ' panir . " he iir .. iluccd instances ot sales effected in the agricultural districts since the announcement of the government scheme . Rents , fees simple , it seems , have gone on improving iu value , in spite of the diie prog nostications of the Protectionist seers and the landowners of East Lothian , Berwickshire , Cambridgeshire .

Ben * tinek and the Duke of Richmond , of anv a »
ricnltaral efforts hereafter , under the blighting * influence of free trade . The right hon . baronet afforded some very conclusive evidence of the realty of thatidbtress In Ireland which had been designated by Mr . Shaw , on a . former erenin- ? , as " a great exaggeration . " Some curious disclosures came to light respecting the moving springs of Mr . Shaw ' s patriotism ; something relating to a retiring pcnsiai and an Irish Secretaryship . Sir James concluded by an eloquent appeal to the house in behalf of the measure , as being calculated to promote our domestic interests and to cement upon the most durable foundations ' our alliances with foreign nations .
Mr . Stcar ? made his maiden speech . It was a Protectionist oration of the genuine Newcastle order and seemed to be highly appreciated by members sitting below the gangway . Mr . Bouveme supported , and the Marquis of Worcester , Mr . J . 1 ) . Gardner , and Mr . Mildmay spoke against the measure . Sir R , Peel commenced by referring to the personal charges which had been brought against him bv various members of the Protectionist party . ( His allusion to this topic was immediately answered by
vehement cheers from the other side of the house ) The interests of the poor required that extended facilities should hs afforded them for obtaining an article of food of such primary importance as wheat . He then entered upon tbe question of foreign supplv and prices , and contended thjit there was no just ground for fear of such an inundation of foreign wheat on the one hand as to reduce the value of home-grown produce below , at any rate , the prices which it fetched in 1822 and 1 S 35 , or such a diminished supply on the otLerlwnd m to cause
a serious inconvenience to our population lie proceeded to combat the several argumeuts of the Protectionists , and concluded by referriug to the circumstances under which the present measure was brought forward , and to the combination of parties to which , if carried , the measure would owe its success . His references on this subject were met by the Free Trade party with loud cheerhn . ' , and for some time after the conclusion of the speech the plaudits were continued .
Mr . S . 0 Briex spoke against the measure . Viscount Palmerston addressed the house at some length in support of the measure , which had his hearty concurrence . The house then dmde «] , when the numbers were-For the Second Reading 302 Against it 214 Majority for the Second Reading —SS The other orders were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

it was unnecessary to discuss them in that place , and in the presence of the young Maha Raja , who was of too tender an age to take part in such matters , and that , as all the requirements of tlie British government had been acquiesced in , and their fulfilment promised in the name of the Maha Raja and Durbar , I should consider myself justified iu treating the young Maha Raja from that moment as a Prince restored to the friendship of the British government . After some remarks , regarding the fame and character of the late Maha Raja llunjeet Singh , and hope that the young Prince would follow the footsteps of his father , and my desire that such relations should henceforward exist between the two states as would tend to the benefit of both , I broke up the Durbar . | . « n « niini : ™ . o 1 . nr 0 t . wiici ™«« tl , oVnintlintni «« o nn < l
On his taking leave , I caused the customary presents to be made to the Maha Raja ; and , on his retiring from my tent , the usual salute was fired from our 24-pounders , drawn up at the bottom ol the street of tents for that purpose . In the course of discussion , the minister asked , if the young Maha Rnja should now return to the Ranee at Lahore , or if it was my desire that he should remain at my camp ? intimating that it was for mo to dispose of ihe young chief as I pleased , and as I might consider best for his lnglmess ' s interests . I replied that I thought it advisable that his highness ' s camp should accompany mine , and that I dhould myself conduct him to his capital , which I purposed reaching in two marches , that is , by tomorrow morning .
The remains of the Sikh army , under Sirdar Tcj Singh and Raja Lai Singh , on retiring from Sobraon , encamped at Raebaiu , about eighteen miles east of Lahore . They are variously estimated at from 14 , 000 to 20 , 000 horse and foot , with about thirtyfive guns . They have been positively ordered by Raja Goolab Singh to remain stationary , and the Mahomedan and Nujeeb battalions , in the interest of the minister , have been placed in the citadel , and at the gates of Lahore , with strict orders to permit no armed Sikh soldier to enter the town ..
It was intimated to me , late last night , that the inhabitants ofTLahore and Umritsur were in great alarm at the approach of our army to the capital , and were under apprehension that those cities might be sacked and plundered by our troops . I therefore caused the proclamation , a copy of which is enclosed , to be issued to the inhabitants of those cities , informing them of the result of my interview with the Maha Raja , and assuring them of protection , in person and property , if the Durbar acted in good faith , and no further hostile opposition was offered by the army .
On our arrival at this place ( Kanha Kutchwa , about sixteen miles from the city of Lahore , and twelve from the cantonments ) , heavy firing for the best part of an hour was heard . This proved to be a salute of seven rounds from every gun in Lahore , in honour of the result of the Maha Raja ' s meeting with me yesterday , and in joy at the prospect of the restoration of amicable relations .
PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNORGENERAL OF INDIA . Camp , Lulleanee , Feb . 18 , 1810 . — The chiefs , merchants , traders , ryots , and other inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur are hereby informed that his Highness Maha Raja Dhulccp Singli has this day waited upon the Right Hon . the Governor-General , and expressed the contrition of himself and the Sikh government for their late hostile proceedings . The Maha Raja and Durbar having acquiesced in all the terms imposed by the British government , the Governor-General having every hope that the relations of friendship will speedil y be established between the two governments , the inhabitants of Lahore and Umritsur hare nothing to fear from the British Army .
The Governor-General and the British troops , if the conditions above adverted to are fulfilled , and no further hostile opposition is offered by the Khalsa army , will aid their endeavours for the re-establishment of the government of the descendants of ' Maha Riija llunjeet Singh , and for the protection of its subjects . > The inhabitants of the cities in the Punjaub will , in that case , be perfectly sate , in person and property , from any molestation by the British troops ; and they are hereby called upon to dismiss apprehension , and to follow their respective callings with all confidence . By order of the Right Hon . the Gevernor-General of India , F . Oubrie , Secretary to the Government of India , with the Governor-General .

INDIA . CLO S E OP THE WAR ! \ Continued from our Fifth FagcA The I < m £ ZzetdExtraordinary , ^ published at a ktehour on Wednesday evening , contains thefollown * important extract of a despatch tyom the Governor-Goncral , in addition to those before published : - . B ( ^ ) ApiuL ^ 1 S 4 O > The Secret Committee of the East India Company Has this day received , from the Governor-General of India , a despatch , from which the following is an extract : — The Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee Camp , Kanha Cuchwa , Feb . 19 , lSi 6 . ( Extract ) _ ^^ « = SSSH- £ = ^ =
The umxediateresult of the victory of Ahwal was the cvaceatkm by the Sikh garrisons of all the forts , hitherto occupied by detachments of Lahore soldiers , on this side of the River Sutlej , and the submission of the whole of the territory on the left bank of that river to the British government . The Sikh army remained in its entrenched positions and , though on the first intelligenceof the victory of Aiiwal , and at the sight of the numerous bodies which floated from the neighbourhood of that liattle-field to the bridge of boats at Sobraon , they seemed much shaken and disheartened , and though many were reported to have left them and gone to their homes , yet , after a few days , the Sikh troops seemed as confident as ever of being able to defy us in their entrenched position , and to prevent our passage of the river .
The Commander-in-Clnef was not in astate to take advantage of the enemy ' s defeat at Aiiwal , by an attack on his entrenched position at Sobraon , until the troops under Major-General Sir U . Smith should have rejoined his Excellency ' s camp , and the siege train and ammunition should have arrived from Delhi . The first portion of the siege train , with the reserve ammunition for 100 field guns , reached the Commander-in-Chiefs camp on the 7 th and 8 th inst . On tho latter day the brigades which had been detached from the main army for the operations in the neighbourhood of Loodianahrejoined the Commanderin-Chief . Within forty-eight hours from that time
the enemy ' s entrenched camp was carried by storm , his army almost annihilated , sixty-seven guns captured , and , during the night of the 10 th , on which this glorious victory was achieved , the advanced brigades of the British army were thrown across the Sutlej . Early on tlie 12 th our brigade was completed , and on the 13 th , the Commander-in-chief , with the whole force , excepting the heavy train , aud the division left to collect aud bring in the wounded to Ferozepore , with the captured guns , were encamped in the Punjaub , at Kussoor , sixteen miles from the bank of the river opposite Ferozeporc , and thirty-two miles from Lahore .
For the details of these [ important and decisive operations , I must refer you to the enclosures of this despatch . 1 cannot , however , refrain from expressing briefly the pride and gratification with which I communicate to you these results so eminently evincing the energetic decision of the Commander-in-ChicFs operations , and the indomitable courage of the British Indian army under his Excellency ' s curamand , . which will , I am convinced , be met with a corresponding feeling by the home government and the British public . I returned to Ferozepore from the field of Sobraon on the afternoon of the 10 th , within a few hours after the action had ceased , to superintend the passage of the Sutlej by our troops . I joined the camp of the Commander-in-Chief at Kussoor , on the morning of the 14 th .
Ou the arrival at Lahore ot the news of the complete victory of Sobraon , the Ranee and Durbar urged Raja Goolab Singh to proceed immediately to the British camp , to beg pardon in the name of the Durbar aud the Sikh government for the offence which had been committed , and to endeavour to negotiate some arrangement for the preservation of the country from utter ruin . The R » ja first stipulated that the Durbar and the chief officers of the army , as well as the members of the Punchayets , should sign a solemn declaration that they would abide by such terms as he might determine on with the British government . This is said to have been immediately acceded to ; and , on the 15 th , Raja Goolab Sing , Dewar Dena Nath , and
Fakeer Nooroodeen arrived in my camp at lvussoor , with full credentials from the Maha Raja , and empowered to agree , in the name of the Maha Rujaand the government , to such terms as I might dictate . The Raja was accompanied by the Barukzio Chief , Sooltan Mahomed Khan , and several of the most influential Sirdars of the nation . I received the Raja in Durbar as the representative of an offending government , omitting the forms and ceremonies usually observed on the occasion of friendly meetings , and refusing to receive , at that time , the proffered Nuzzurs and complimentary offerings . I have briefly explained to the Raja and his
colleagues that the offence which had been committed was most serious , and the conduct of the chiefs and army was most unwarrantable—that this offence had been perpetrated without tho shadow of any cause of quarrel on the part of the British government , in the face of an existing treaty of amity and friendshipand that , as all Asia had witnessed the injurious conduct of the Sikh nation , retributive justice required that the proceedings of the British government should be of a character which would mark to the whole world that insult could not be offered to the British government , and our provinces invaded by a hostile army , without signal punishment .
I told the Raja that I recognised the wisdom , prudence , and good feeling evinced by him in having kept himself separate from these unjustifiable hostilities of the Sikhs , and that I was prepared to mark my sense of that conduct in the proceedings which must now be carried through . 1 stated , in the most marked manner and words , my satisfaction , that he who had not participated in the offence , and whose wisdom and good feeling towards the British government were well known , had been the person chosen by the Durbar as their representative for negotiating the means by which atonement might be made , and the terms on which the Sikh government might be rescued from impending destruction , by a return to amicable relations between the British government and the Lahore State .
I told the Raja and his colleagues that Mr . Currie , the chief secretary to government , and Major Lawrence , my agent , were in full possession of my determination on the subject ; that they were in my entire confidence ; and I referred theehiefs to those officers , that they might learn from them the principles and details of adjustment which I had determined to offer for their immediate acceptance . Tiie chiefs remained the greater part of the night in conference with Mr . Currie and Major Lawrence ; but before they separated , a paper was signed by them to the effect that all that had been demanded would be conceded , and that arrangements would be
immediately made , as tar as were in the po iver ot the chiefs , to carry out all the details that had been explained to them . The terms demanded and ceded are , the surrender , in full sovereignty , of the territory , hill and plain , lying between the Sutlej and the Boas rivers , and t ! e payment of one and a half crores of rupees as indemnity for the expenses of the war , —the disbandment of the present Sikh army , and its reorganisation on the system and regulations with regard to pay , which obtained in the time of the late Maharajah RuBJeet Singh , —the arrangement for limiting the extent of the force to be henceforth employed , to be determined on in communication with the British
government , —the surrender to us of all the guns that had been pointed against us , —the entire regulation and control of botli banks of the river Sutlej , and such other arrangements for settling the future boundaries of the Sikh State , and the organisation of its administration , as might be determined on at Lahore . It was furtherarranged that the Maha Raja , with Bhaee Ram Singh , and the other Chiefs remaining at Lahore , should forthwith repair to the camp of the Governor-General , and place : themselves in the hands of the Governor-General , to accompany his camp to Lahore . I had prepared , for circulation on my arrival at Kussoor , a proclamation declaratory of my present views and intentions with regard to the Punjaub—a translation of which was given to Rajah Goolab Singh and his colleagues , and a copy of which is enclosed for your information .
It was determined that the Maha Raja should meet me at Lulleana on tbe 18 th ( yesterday ) , when the camp arrived at that place . On the afternoon of the 17 th , it was announced to me that tltc Maha Raja , with Bhaee Ram Singh , and other chiefs , had instantly , on receiving the summons from Rajah Goolab Singh , hastened from Lahore , and that they had arrived at Raja Goolab Singh ' s camp , pitched about a mile beyond our picquets , and that his Highness was ready at once to wait upon me .
I considered it right to abide by the first arrangement , and I directed that it should be intimated to the Maha Raja and the chiefs , that I would receive his Highness on the day appointed , at Lulleana , eleven miles in advance on the road to Lahore . Yesterday aftereoon , the Maha Raja , attended bv Raja Goolab Singh , Dewan Decna Nath , Fakeer Nooroodeen , Bhaee Ram Singh , and ten or twelve other chiefs , had an interview with me in my Durbar tent , where the Commander-in-Chief and staff had been invited by me to be present to receive them .
As on the occasion of Rija Goolab Singh ' s visit , I omitted the usual salute to the Maha Raja , and curtailed the other customary ceremonies on his arrival at my tent , causing it te be explained that , until submission had been distinctly tendered by the Maha Raja in person , he could not be recognised , and received , as a friendly prince . Submission was tendered by the minister and chiefs , who accompanied the Maha Raja , and the pardon of the Briti-h government was requested on such conditions as I should dictate in the most explicit terms ; after which , I stated ( hat the conditions having been disticcliy made known to the Minister Itoja Goolab Siagh and theehiefs accredited with him ,

CAPITAL t . LABOUR . The Discharged Wobkmem , —LtvznpooL , Mabcu 31 , —The greatest excitement prevails here at the present time , amongst the working classes , in consequence of the unjustifiable and tyrannical conduct of the master builders . Tbe causes which have led to this state of things are as follows : — A dispute hae been in existence at Manchester and Birkenhead ( opposite Liverpool ) between the workmen employed in the various building trades , and their employers ; the result of which is , that a good number at those places are resting from their labours , until such time as a fair remuneration is given to them for that labour . It appears that the Liverpool men sympathise with their fellow-workmen , and assist to support them during the
struggle , at least so saj their employers ; andthiS ) in their eyes , is a high crime and must be duly punished . As a preparatory measure , Mr . Samuel Holme , of the firm of Messrs . Samuel aud James Holme , issued a small pam > phlet , and distributed it amongst their workmen . The contents are a violent tirade against Trades' Unions , and the usual clap . trap of the capitalist on the subject of political economy . The Liverpool Mercury , which oacklei so much about its friendship and advocacy of the rights of the working man , was so much iu love with this precious document , that it voluntarily gave it insertion , and introduced it with a loud flourish of trumpets . In the same paper , to show its love of fair play , aud to mark its great friendship for the working man , it inserted a short
reply from the poor glass men to the charges of their employers , and only charged it as an adverlitement . A few dujs afterwards placard * appeared , announcing that a meeting had been held consisting of master builders , < Ssc , and that the aforesaid had ' a long list of grievances against their men , and that it would be necessary to adopt steps to protect—whom , think you ?—the employers!—No , the public ! For these wonderful men have discovered that it matters not to them whether their men receive high or low wageB , for it is the public who must pay ; and as tbej have a greatregard for Mr . Public , the ; thus , unsolicited , step out in bis defence , to protect tha poor helpless old creature . Another meeting waB held , and the result was the adoption of the following duclaration , which the men were commanded to sign , or
leave their work : — "We , the undersigned , do hereby declare that we are not , or will not remain , members of an ; Trades' Unions , or of other societies , under whatever designation the ; maybe known , which have forjtheir object any interference with the rights of labour , or with the arrangements that ma ; be entered into between employers and workmen . And W 8 further declare , that we will not appropriate , and , as far aB we are able , will not permit to be appropriated , for the purpose of supporting a turn-out here or elsewhere , amongst the building branches or otherwise , an ; sum or sums of money belonging to an ; sick , burial , or other societ ; which has b « eu established for benevolent purposes alone . "
This was presented to the workmen last Friday and Saturday for their signatures . This the ; have absolutely refused to give , and at this moment there are not lesB than three thousand workmen in the building line walking our streets in consequence of their refusal . It must be borne iu mind that tliese men have had no dispute with their employers , and tho ; and their families ore to be thus starved into compliance . Working men of all trades , it is your dut ; to prevent this ; their cause is your cause . Arouse , in your might , and derise a plan for the organisation of industry ; show these Quixotes that there is talent , truth , and justice amongst you ; and that you laugh nt their puny effort ! to become the tyrants of your fellow-men .

THE STRIKE AT BIRKENHEA 1 ) . TO TUB EDITOR OF THE NO&TBEBN STAR . Sib , —In November , 1845 , the masoas gave notice to their employers that they should require an advance of two shillings per week , to commence on the lit of March , 1846 . Tou will perceivo that the notice to any one was quite sufficient time ; and ne had no notice from them during the time whether the ; would give it or not . This we consider unfair and unjust , ai it deprived as of tbe opportunity of reconsidering the subject . Since the strike took place tha employers of Birkanhand and Liverpool have formed tbemstlves into a society . Tho first meeting they hold in Birkenheud was on the 11 th ult . To leave them no excuse , the masons lent a deputation ,
requasting an interview with the employers . The deputation handed a letter to them , and requested an amrrer . In reply , the masters gave the letter to the waiter ef the hotel , sending word that the ; had no answer to give . Tlie second meeting took plaee on the 13 th ult ., when another deputation waited on the employers , aud two of tbe latter came out of the meeting and aiked , in an impertinent manner , tho deputation from the masons what they wanted < The masons stated that they requested an i » - terview , in order to come to a friendly arrangement if possible . This the employers again refused . The public nill , therefore , perceive that we have acted justly and the employers unjustly . —Correspondent .

ExTRAORniNARY DlSCOTERT OS IHK RlVBR . —A most extraordinary discovery was made at an early hour on Wednesday morning on the river , which gave rise to a report that a manliad been dreadfully mutilated in the neck , and whilst in a dying state had been thrown into the Thames . Upon making inquiries , it was ascertained that between twelve and one , as one of the Thames Police was passing down the river , his attention was directed to one of the floating buoys near Irongate-stairs , by perceiving a man clinging to it , who had his throat out in a most dreadful manner . The constable immediately made over to the man , and having got him into his boat , he conveyed him ashore , and afterwards to Guy ' s Hospital , where he was questioned as to who he was and how he came by the injury in the throat . The poor fellow , upon making an attempt to speak , was prevented by the excessive hemorrhage . The medi *
cal gentlemen of the hospital having attended to the man , the wound was dressed ; but little or no hopes are entertained of his recovery . During the afternoon , Captain Hopper , of the brig Beauibnt , belonging to Newcastle , attended at the hospital , and identified the injured man as being his brother . He ( Captain Hopper ) says that his brother went to bed on board the brig the preceding night , and nothing was heard of him afterwards until the next morning , when he found a bloody razor in the ship , and heard that a man answering his description had been picked up with his throat cut . The captain says that he has no doubt his brother first cut his own throat and afterwards plunged into the river . lie also sajs that on a previous occasion he made an attempt to destroy his life . The unfortunate man wrote upon a slate in the hospital , yesterday afternoon , to the effect : — " That he had been a miraculous man , but would be better for the future "
Destructive Accident at tax Albion Miiis . —On Thursday morning liist an accident , by which , fortunatel y , no personal injury was caused , occurred at the Albionmills , Gay thorn , which are now worked under the inip ^ ctorship of Mr . Marsdon , Mr . Glasgow , and Mr . Peet , at inspectors for tbe estate of the late Mr . Thomas Gough . About ten minutes before eight o ' clock that morning , the main upright shaft in a second or ground floor of the mill , broke in two ut the neck , close to the collar , and the steam-engine being thus cleared from the whoU weight of the machinery which it has to keep in motion , the large fly-wheel , which is about seven yards in diameter , began to revolve with immeme velocity . Tbe rim of this wheel coniUts of ei ? , ht cast iron segments of a cireU , each about eight or nine feet in longth , twelve inches broad , and six
inches in thickness , and weighing about half u ton . These were firmly bolted together , and stayed with very strong ^ hick cast-iron spokes . Such , however , wns the velocity with which thil great bulk and weight of iron was made to revolve , that , by centrifugal force , the segments ware torn asunder , aud thrown outwnrdi with terrific force . They tore away portions of the brickwork surrounding the wheel ; and one of them was hurled uprrardf , and , striking the main steam-pipe in its course , broke it in two , and thun fortunately cut off tha source of motion . It then passed through the stair window , a height of sixteen or eighteen feet from the floor , and fell outside in Trumpet-street . Fortunately , no one was passing at the time , or this heavy projectile , striking them , musthavo caused inBtant death . Another of the segments struck a corner of the wall which divides the onginchouBe from the boiler-houso , with such force that although it is a fout-teen-inch wall , of great solidity , it wasreutin several directions , and fissures are visible on
the opposite side . Tho other segmonts struck various parts of the engine-house and made its interior a complete wreck . Two cast-iron pillars , of considerable thickness , which support tho engine , were both horizontally broken in two , at difforgnt heights ; and the spring beam was also broken . Some of the stone stairs , leading to tho upper part of the boilor . liouse , were torn from their settiug , and brokoa in pieces . 2 fo one was in the enginehouse at the time , the engineer having gone to the boiler-house . Had he been in the engine house , it is possiblo that he might have shut off the steam , and so have prevented the destructive consequences ; but , had he failed to do this , and remained in tho engine-house , he must inevitably hare been killed . The most remarkable thing , undor the circumstances , and what strikes every one who has seen the place , is , that so much destruction of property Ehould have been the work of a few seconds , and that not the slightest injury to limb or life should have bean caused by such a terrific outbreak of mcchftnicnl iorce . At the last meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society the 1 resident . rend an interesting paper on the geography oitke Punjaub territory , the land of the Sikhs .

LONDON . THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER Fiiiknds , — According to the third rule of the Association , an annual Convention should be held on the 20 th of the present month , for the purpose of transacting the general business of the body and in pursuance of said rule , we issued our . address convening such Convention to hold its sittings in Leeds , and to meet on the above date . But since issuing thataddress , circumstances have arisen , which in our judgment , rendor it imperative to postpone its sittings until some later period , to be decided by the dissolution ot Parliament , which we anticipate will be the result of the present measures of ihe government .
The editor ot the Northern Star lately , in a leading article , suggested the propriety of holding a " National Convention ; " so that , in the event of a dissolution of Parliament , we may have a representation of the working-classes to take the field in defence of the cause of labour , and to prevent its enemies from turning popular feeling to the advancement of anything short of the People ' s Charter . We have received resolutions from the principal localities approving of this suggestion , and calling to itand it
upon us adopt ; as is probable that the fate of the measure of the Ministers will be known about the time when it was intended to hold the Annual Convention , the only departure from rule will be that it will be a national one and may not meet until some time after the 20 th , and , instead of being held at Leeds , will assemble in London . The time of assemblage will be decided by the Executive Committee ; and should there not arise a necessity for the meeting of such a body , the " Annual Convention " will be held as originally intended .
We , therefore , instruct the councils in the several localities where elections have not already taken place , to proceed at once to the election of delegates , who aro to hold themselves in readiness to assemble in London or Leeds , as circumstances may render
necessary . C . Doylb , T , Clark , P . M'Grath , F . O'Connor , T . M . Whkeler , Secretary
to the members of the chartist co-operative land society . Friends , —We feel pleasure commingled with pride in directing your attention to the receipts of the Society for the last fortnight , as Bet forth in the Star . Ihey speak most eloquently and convincingly as to the progress which our glorious Land movement is making . Intelligence pours in upon us from all quarters of the most cheering nature . Large additions are daily made to it ; it is extending with a rapidity which astounds its most ardent admirers . It bids fair to become , at no distant period , one of . the most powerlul contederation 3 of working men that ever existed in this or any other nation . Mr . O'Connor is at present travelling through the north of England to view several estates there for sale ; he will , nodoubt , make a purchase ere he returns , so that we shall have' two estates to allot on the day of balloting which will be on Easter Monday , at the Carpenters ' Hall , Manchester .
We have , friends , taken an office in an excellent situation , which we are convinced will prove a great benefit : to the Society . Indeed , we have already experienced its advantages in the number of individuals who have visited it for the purpose of taking out shares . We hav « taken several other effective steps in order to give the widest publicity to the existence and objects of our noble institution . Friends , we now call your attention to an important resolution passed by the late Land Conference , to the effect that a Loan Society should be
established in connection with the Land movement , the profits of which should be added to the capital for the purchase » f land , &e . The subscriptions upon the shares not being intended for the purpose , it is indispensable that funds be borrowed . Many circumstances have tended to prevent us from establishing the Loan Society , which are now removed . We are fully impressed with the value and importance of the institution , and are therefore resolved to put it into active operation immediately . But to do bo the means are required .
We have decided upon giving 5 per cent , upon all monies advanced for the purpose of the Loan Society . Those members , therefore , who have money to lend , who approve the amount of per centage offered , and the Society ' s security , will forward immediately to Mr . O'Connor the sums they are willing to advance . Members lending to the Society will be doubly advantaged-first , in the receipt of the interest ; and secondly , in the increase of the Societv ' s property . Fbaroub O'Connor . Thomas Clark . Christopher Dotlx . Philip M'Gratb . Thomas Martin Wheeler . Sec .
The Executive Committee beg to state , that owing to the press of business consequent upon the approaching ballot , and from the fact of two of its members leaving town on Monday morning , that their time will be so engaged that they cannot attend any meetings to lecture on Sunday evening . Messrs . P . M'Grath and T . Clark will address the people of Leicester on Monday ; Derby , Tuesday ; Nottingham , Wednesday ; aad Sheffield , Thursday .
