The Chapel was well attended . John Cole was called to the chair . The Secretary , S . Jacobs , opened the business in & speech of some length , on the past and present gtate of trade , and reported ike labours of the Society for the basb nine months , in raising prices . A resolution -was agreed to "That the present prices were not satisfactory , that a further rise to t he Book , at a ? cr ventage off , w « s necessary in all Bbops , except those working already fay the took . "
After speeches from W . Primrose , J . Blaekburne , JL Gibson , Lewis , Roper , Stone , Pridieux , Weston , and others , it wxs agreed that a committee , consisting of one from each shop , be appointed , to enquire Into the practicability of ( he desired rise , and to report such rise as they deem advisable , the comm ittee te meet at the Cannon , Cannon Street .

- ' ¦ TflE CONVENTION . " ^ Every Chartist in the Empire will have received sincere gratification from theproceedings of the late Convention at Leeds . ^ Not only did that meeting show a decided re-animation of Chartism , and the gathering of old friends round the old standard ! under the most hopeful circumstances , but tbe mode * ration , unanimity , and comprehensive views of the delegates , argued an advance in political wisdom and power which are the sure precursors of success .
The renewed agitation for the Charter which has been determined upon comes in good time . ' The political arena is clear ; the Chartists will be the first to occupy it with a great principle , and a great measure . In every district the whole machinery of popular agitation must be set to work to ensure a petition , at least as numerously signed as that last presented by Mr . Duncombe . .. If ' . so , . ire venture to predict it will be received in a very different manner . . The determination to memorialize the government for the restoration of tbe exiles was , it appears to us , a most judicious step in itself , although we much doubt whether such a memorial will have anv
chance of being listened to favourably by the very men to whom the victims owe their banishment from thai country for whose liberties they struggled . If we wish to secure the return of Mr . Frost and his fellow sufferers , we must ensure the expulsion oi Russell and his co-incapables _ from office . They hate the men they have injured " too deeply to permit their return if they can possibly prevent it . The
furious speech delivered by Macaulayon Mr . Duncombe ' s motion shows clearly the animus of the whole party . But the conviction of this fact should not prevent the Chartists of the empire from memorializing . It will deprive the Whigs at some future period of the excuse that they were not appealed to , and it will show the exiles that the interest in their fate continues unabated . .
The adoption of the resolutions respecting Capital Punishment , the Ten Hours'Question . andthe Abolition of Flogging , will show the community at large that the Chartists are not unwatchful of the signs of the times , and that while struggling for the achievement of political rights , they , at the same ime , recognize the value of social and moral reforms . That a still further reform in our Criminal Code js required tof bring it into accordance with the intelligence and increasing humanity , must he evident to alL We are gratified that the Chartist body have
indentured themselves with so humane and benevolent a movement , and also that they have spoken out upon a subject on which at present the public feel much interest , namely , the abolition of flogging . rau rder of poor Whyte has already borne good fruits . It has compelled already a large reduction of the amount of torture which may be inflicted on soldiers iii future , and paved the way , we believe , to its total extinction at no distaut period . Upon this subject the state of our columns this week prevents us from speaking at the length its importance demands .
With respect to the Factory Question , that is settled long ago . - It is now merely a matter of time ; and if the Short-Time Committee do their duty , the Ten Hours' Bill will , early next session , become the law of the land . It it too much the fashion for a certain set of pseudo-Radicals to speak in a deprecatory style of the knowledge of the people , and to aver , that if ihey were only better educated they would have no objection to entrust them with the franchise ^ The Chartist body h * ve already sufficient knowledge to appreciate the value of education , and to straggle for its diffusion to all . But they do not commit the error of putting the cart before the horse . Political freedom is the
birthright of every human being . Upon that right < he Chartists take their stand . They do not look upon the franchise as a boon to be conceded upon conditions , but as an absolute , indefeasible right , to the exercise of which no conditions whatever can or ought to be attached by any party . Nor could education itself be complete without the exercise of this right . It is essential to the formation of a manly mind , and any sysforo . of education which does not include a practical train / ing in the cxe-cise of political rights aiay be suiied' for a nation of slaves , hut not of freemen . The question of Education is one which is d " estined ,

THE POOR LAW COMMISSION .: ¦ The Poor Law . 4 ct / passed in 1834 , was looked upon by its authors and abettors as the very perfection of modern legislation . It was the incarnation of Malthusian philosophy , the . distilled essence of political economy . For the first time in our history , we had cast . sentimentalism and foolish humanity to the winds , and legislated upon , sound and pure abstract principles ! X sort of Eldorado or Utopia was pictured as the result of . its operations ; the then idle , dissipated , thoughtless , ; meari-souled labouring classes of Englandwere io ' be converteJ by , iis / ttagie . 'iou ' eb . into industrious , careful , independent , and highspirited beings ; poverty was to cease , and rates to be lowered at the same time .
It . has now been twelve years in operation , and in addition to being the detestation of the great mass ofthe'icpmmuhiiyifor its gross and . unnecessary inhumanity with which even its naturally ssvereandcruel principle has been carried out , it has failed in every respect . ' . It has not , even . ; achieved . that ^ ich , was the real object of its . projectors , nameiy , saved their own breeches pockets ; We believe"that the average wtes levied for ^ the maintenance of the poor , will . be
found to-be higher ) than . they were under the old and much abused ' ' lystera , ' except in years when special > nc ! peculiar circumstances ; _ eaii be adduced to account for the excess . / iNearly ^ 80 , 000 , 000 sterling have been expended Undefthe general control of the Poor Law : Commissbion i and all they haye succeeded in doing is to alienate the rich and poor from each other , ' and to tax the former more heavily for being allowed to do 60 than they were Under the old
law . The termination of their career , and we hope of the existence of this legislative monstrosity , seems to be approaching . " Heartless and unjust as the law was in itself , it has been rendered . still more detestable by the manner in which it has been carried out . The murders by starvation , the instances of gross inhumanity under shapes so revolting ,. that the like had never before been heard of in this country , and the crowning abominations of Aridover , have given it the finishing blow . :
The evidence given before the Committee of Enquiry now sitting , as to the manner in which business Was transacted by the hitherto secret and irresponsible "Three Kings" of Somerset House , far exceeds anything that the most vivid imagination could have conceived . The formation of such a body was a direct violation of the great principles of Saxon liberty , an infringement of that wholesome and salutary institution of local self-government , to which England is so much indebted for her progress as a nation . But the Commissioners have out MeroJed Herod in the unconstitutional manner
in which they have administered a law so obnoxious in itself . They have been the tools by which the Home Office , or rather let us say at once Sir James Graham , has worked for the overthrow of independent Members of Parliament . Mr . Ferrand was inconvenientl y honest , and his political reputation and standing were attacked by the late Home Secretary , through the medium of a report furnished by the Commission . It was denied , at the time , that this was the case ; but it is now
proved beyond a doubt , by the evidence of the Commission itself . Here , then , was a secret , dark , and inscrutable despotism , erected in the midst of us , under which no man ' s character was safe ; an unscrupulous Minister working with equally unscrupulous instruments , could at any time ruin an opponent , by means more in accordance with the genius of Russian or Austrian despotism , than that frank straight-forward and manly spirit upon which we pride ourselves as a nation ,
It is matter for sincere rejoicing that this i » y ; c « irium in imperio is about to be destroj'ed . The lig ht has been let upon it—its real character is detected . The base uses to which it has been put , alike to oppress the poor and hunt down the political opponents of the Government , must ensure its speedy extinction as a foul blot on society . The Commissioners , Secretary , Under Secretaries ,
Assistant Commissioners , and in fact , the whole squad of officials requ ired to work the machinery of the law , seem to have been worthy of the philosophy it embodied . A scheme begotten in selfishness and based upon injustice , the object of which was to rob poverty of its rig hts for the benefit of wealth , required a different kind of humanity from that of ; ' ordinary mortals , to superintend and work it . And certainly a set of men more destitute of all
the commonest virtues of our nature than the executive of the New Poor Law appear to have been , it is impossible to imagine . Even the old maxim of " honour among thieves" does not apply to them . They hated and deceived each other ; they dodged their Secretary , whom they dreaded and disliked , from room to room , for fear of his knowing the business ; they forged minutes of Board meetings which were never held : they hounded their Assistants to deeds , which , when the aroused
public execration , they disavowed , and discharged the inferior instruments by whom they were ostensibly perpetrated . In short , the evidence given by themselves against themselves , must be read to form anything like a conception of the total want of honour , honesty , truth and humanity , which characterises the gang who have so long , to the disgrace of the country , been entrusted with one of the most important duties which sociely can delegate to any bodv of men .
That we may not he accused of harshness or exaggeration , we take one . of many similar scenes which have been acted before the Audover committee . Mr . 'Christie inquired of Mr . Lewis what h-s ( Mr . Lewis ' s ) opinion was of Mr . Chadwick . Mr- Lewis . —I have found him the most unscrupulous , the most dangerous , and the most untrustworthy officer I ever Jsneir . —( Sensation . ) He has in-

The manner in which the settlement will be made out may be judged of by the defeat of Lord Listowel at St .

THE WHIGS AND IRELAND . ( From the Morniny Advertiser . ) Ministers are already beginning to act an extraordinary part towards Ireland . The sound of their recent protestations of an earnest desire to pursue a conciliatory course towards that country has hardly died away , before those protestations are practically proved to be insincere . Their hollow-ness was proclaimed aloud , as with the tongue of a trumpet , iii the House of Commons on Monday evening . On that evening , Mr . Labouchere , the new Secretary for Ireland , pressed forward to a second reading the Arms Bill for that country . After a strenuous opposition from the Liberals , the measure was carried by a majority of 56 to 23 .
Numerically , Ministers achieved a victory , but morally they sustained a defeat . Another such victory , and , like the General of old , they are undone . The introduction of an Arms Bill into Ireland at such a time as the present , so soon after their advent to office , and with their protestations yet warm on their lips of a desire to raise that country to an equality with this , —will be found to be as faulty in policy as it is at variance with consistency and right feeling . Who could have believed that the very men who
last session made the house ring with their denunciations of this identical measure , should now come down and propose its renewnl ? Such flagrant inconsistency destroys all confidence in public men . Sir Kobert Peel was ejected from office two brief months ago for pressing forward a Coercion Bill for Ireland ; and yet the very men . who overthrew his Ministry on the question of Irish Coercion , now propose the renewal of a measure of a thoroughly coercive character , and which Lord John Russell is constrained to confess contain clauses which are unnccessarv , harsh , and odious .
Who can have confidence in such a Government ? What faith can be reposed in any professions which the Russell Administration may hereafter make ? No man can with safety infer their policy , now that thev are in power , from their conduct when in Opposition . They seem to have one set of principles for the Opposition benches , and another for the Treasury section of the house . But it is difficult to say , whether the inconsistency or the infatuation of the llnssell Cabinet be the greater . Mr . Horsman very justly remarked that he could not account for the conduct of Ministers , except 011 the ground of the most positive infatuation . This was an unkind , cut , especially as coming from one who is a most strenuous . supporter of the general policy of the Whi g Government .
His impossible that a-ministry that acts in this way can long retain its hold of power . A want of p ublic confidence is suve to be accompanied by a diminution of numerical strcngh in Parliament . Unpopularity in the Legislature , invariably follows close on the heels of unpopularity in the country . When a government forfeits the . confidence of the nation , it always , in a very lirief period , forfeits that of the legislature . When it ioses its hold on the . people , it soon thereafter loses its hold on Par-

certain : this coercive movement on . the jpart of the Russell ministry , whose conciliatory purposes and liberal policy towards Ireland , had . been so often vouched for of late by the Agitator , will prove a fruitful source of embarrassment to . him .

Be this as it may , the Arms Bill has come at a most awkward moment for the A gitator , and at a most seasonable time for "Young Ireland . " The latter will doubtless make the most
of it . It will supply the Nation with materials for at least a month to come . And while' that journal and the party whose organ it is , will resign themselves to infinite joy , the-Repeal . Association will have to put on the habiliments of sorrow , and give unrestrained ,, vent ' to it ' s lamentations over Whig perfidy .

; PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . : The , political profligacy , and . dishonesty . of the party now'in power have this week been exhibited in the niost shameless manner . Onlrsix weeks since Lord John . Russell headed an array / of members of the most discordant opinions on other matters , but who all united in voting against the Irish Coercion Bill . They beat SirRobert on that . ground / f JEng ^ lish Whiggefy and Irish patriotism united in ; declaring that coercion wasiin every shape andforra , unsuited for . Irelahdjthatthe : time bad coraejTrhen the
sister country was to be governed on the'same principles as England ; and that , however largo the list of , crimes and outrages ; put forward by the then government a « a justification ; . of . rtKe obnoxious measure / Ireland- was no Ionger , 'Upon ; ahy pretence , to be put out of the pale of constitutional laws ; and appliances . Well , they succeeded . Peel , fell before the allied army of opponents , and Russell- took his place . ; Yet , in the / ace of facts so recent that the ink is hardl y dry that recorded their occur ? rence , this pet statesman of the Whigs , this darling of O'Connell , has brought forward the Irish ' Arin « Bill , a Coercion Act under another , name 1
The patriots of Conciliation Hall , who debated the first reading of Peel ' s . Coercion Bill for two weeks , in defiance of Parliamentary etiquette and usage , wliose antipathy to . such unconstitutional measures seemed to be of the deepest and - bitterest description , were all absent when the New Secretary for Ireland brought forward , the Whig Coeroion Act . the well-paid " Liberator" of Ireland , the man who wrings thousands annually from an impoverished people , on the pretence that he is the
special and peculiar defender of their rights and interests , he and all jhis tail of toadies and obsequious lackies , were not to . be found on the floor of the House of Commons , denouncing this outrage upon Irish liberty . No ; they were and are to be found at Conciliation Hall , hunting down . . the only party iii that unhappy country who have its liberties and welfare sincerely at heart . While Russell stabs Ireland in Westminster , O ' Connell plays the assassin ' s part at Burgh Quay . -
But Ireland was not without defenders , though the mouthing beggarly " patriots , " who pocket Ireland's pence , had deserted the post they were hired to defend . Duncombe and the English liberal members came to tbe rescue , and right manfully did they fight the battle . Never in the history of Parliament was there a more merciless castigation inflicted on a Ministry . Never was victory more complete , for though the votes were , in favour of the Treasury bench , its occupants felt they were beaten . Notwithstanding the division in their favour , Russell and Labouchere virtually gave upthe point .
They promised that the domiciliary clauses , and in fact all that rendered the bill obnoxious ; should be withdrawn . Of what use the bill will be when thus denuded , we do not see . The only thing it will really do , will be to show the Irish people the kind of friends O'Connell and his tail have sold themselves to , and to convince the people of the Empire generally , that the cause of freedom , the very reputation of the country for intellect and honesty , demands the immediate expulsion from power , of a party of contemptible tricksters , who have got into office under false pretences . ,
The speech of Mr . Labouchere , when introducing the measure as a minister which he opposed as an independent member , was arich specimen of political rascality . He had the impudence to say that" he retained all his original objections against the . bill . " Why then iutroduce if ? Oh ! replies the Secretary for Ireland , only "to allow her Majesty ' s Government sufficient time to consider what course they should pursue in reference to a question of so much importance . " Such a reason could only have entered into a Whig tain ! None but a Whig Minister could have expressed his Jrepugnance to a measure ,
and then recommend Its adoption , in order that he and his colleagues might make ' up their minds on the matter ! But this precious " speech teemed with inconsistencies ; take another specimen , " the registration of anns , ' he ^ believed , , only tended to acquaint marauders where good arms were to be obtained ) and therefore it hadjicen altogether mischievous in its effects . " After that , one would imagine the natural inference would he , the abolition of so mischievous an act . No such thing . Here is Mr . Labouchere ' s corrollary , "Yet he believes , the course her Majesty ' s Government had resolved to pursue ( that is continuing the mischief ) , was the more
manly course ; which means that the most manly course to be pursued in Ireland ia , to prolong the operation of a law which , by the showing of Goernment itself , presents facilities to marauders , and only shows them " where good arms were to be obtained ! " One can onl y feel loathing in commenting on such actions , and such reasoning . The country at large will , we are sure cordially respond to the indignant denunciation contained in the following extract from Mr . Duncombe ' s speech : — ' Did they suppose thai ^ the country had forgotten 1 what occurred in November and December last , 1 when that non-coercion Government being offered ' the reins of Government on tUe ' nrf . ifip le of Free
