ours . Wa 3 it impossible t < j accomplish some amicable amusements , by-which two sreat nations might put a stoptotbii childish game of beggarmv-ncii » liboiir » , WJ . Resell admitted that a popular prejudice wasted a « aiust the manaMsncnt of the public dock-jar is , but denied that it was well founded . ( Hear , hear . ) Cousitlerable improvements bad been effected , rendering the works more economical and HJOrc efficient , and removing the stigma of corruption and favonritism . As to the number of men , It was below the average of the past ten years ; and with respect to construction expenses , it must be remembered that a new power had lately obtained a vast development , rendering attacks more easy
and rapid , and compelling a prudent provision similar means for defence . ( Hear , hear . } Steam had none far lo deprive this county of the security it oace enjoved from its insular position , and obliged us to look with more jealousy upon the means of offence possessed by our neighbours . Under the circumstances , with an army compaiaiivelv so weak , and no reserve of milito , the naval defences of the country were of incalculable importance ( Hear , hear . ) He did not fear invasion , yet cr . uld not look upon it as iuipossiole ; and those ven- free trade measures which extended
relation-< hips of commerce and amnity with the rest of the world , at the same time placed a weapon in the lands of other nations who mightdeeply injure us by s'opping the supplies of food . ( Cheers ana laughter frotn the Protectionists . ) As trade increased , so its safe « ir > rds on » lit to be preserved ; and considering how numerous were our points of contact , and chances of collision , with nations only imperfectly c ' vilised , the maintenance of the navy at its past average , could not be deemed extravagant . He should postpone any detailed comment upon the African squadron ; but affirmed that the efforts of our cruisers had been verv successful ,
and the cause was OBe of which we bad reason to be proud . Mr . Milxer Gibsox joined issue with the Premier upon the plea that free trade had rendered a large naval force more necessary . ( Hear , hear . ) The commercial influences were eminently pacific , and the increase of our merchant shipping was a practical increase to the available maritime strength of the country . The proposition was not to abolish the navy , but turned upon a question of degree . ( Hear , hear . ) Considering that steamers required fewer searnen than sailing vessels , and that 30 , 000 men had heretofore been found amply sufficient for the naval service , he felt justified in voting for the retrenchment moved by Mr . Hume . He feared that the proceedings of the slave squadron had been injurious , es : e ; ially in Brazil , to the very cause it was intended to support , by provoking hostility , and preventing the development of anti-slavery doctrines in that country .
Mr . Cahdwell contended that the presence of our ships on the coasts of Brazil had strengthened the Lands of the British negotiators , and aided in enforcing the treaties by which the slave trade was prohibited . Capt . Berkeley apprehended that merchant seamen , ignorant of gunnery , would prove very inefficient if drafted upon an emergency into the war navy . After a few words from Mr . Pmbepire and Mr . S . Crawford , Col . TnoMPsox declared that he should vote for Mr . Hume ' s amendment , though not for that hon . member ' s reasons . The committee divided upon the amendment . Ayes Gl Xoes 169—103 The vote then passed as originally proposed by the government .
The followmz votes for wages and victualling , respectively £ 1 , 43-5 , 723 , and £ -500 , ( 532 , were also passed after some conversation . The vote for Admiralty salaries , £ 133 , 025 , being proposed , Colonel SiBTnoRr accused the board of general incompetence and extravagance , and pronounced his own mistrust of the government generally . He suggested the propriety of reducing the official salaries , now that bread was so cheap . Air . Williams remarked that the salaries this year were £ 11 , 000 higher than in 2841 , when the effective force of seamen was quite as large . Ssverai members having made , some desultory remarks and inquiries , to which Sir F . Baring replied , a division took place , when Col . Sibthorp ' s amendment was negatived by 193 votes to 3-tmajority , 159 .
£ 48 , 635 for the scientific branch ; £ 134 , 699 for establishments at home ; £ 23 , 654 for eetablisments abroad ; and £ 670 , 416 f «« r wages to artificers , were TOtcd after some miscellaneous discussion . The house adjourned at one o'clock .
TUESDAY , MARCU 11 . HOUSE OF LOltDS . —The Earl of Fiizwluaji , in presenting a petition , made some observations on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill , an-. i after stating that though he did not go so far as some in their indignation against the Papa ] aggression , still be was desirous that some measure to repel it should be adopted , and wished to know if the alterations about to be made in the measure now before the House of Commons would tend to render it inoperative . The Marquis of Lassdowxe replied , that certain alterations were about to be made in the measure to which Earl Fitzwilliam had referred . The house would have ample time to consider the nature of those alterations when the bill came before it in doe form . He could only say that the principle of the bill would remain untouched .
The matter then dropped , and their Lordships adjourned after despatching some other busines . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —On the motion of Mr . Clemexis , a new writ was ordered to issue for the borough of Dungarvan , Mr . Shell having accepted the Cbiltern Hundreds . "Woods a > t » Forests . —Viscount Ddxcas moved a resolution that all the monies received from the royal forests and other branches of the . land revenues of the crown should henceforth be paid into the Exchequer , and accounted for among the ordinary receipts of the national Treasury . The noble lord based his resolution upon the fact that out of a gross revenue of £ 2446 , 785 derived from the crown lands within the past seven years , only £ 774 , 003 had reached the public Exchequer ; and Bupported his arguments by a voluminous detail of waste , fraud , and mismanagement arising out of the auonu \ ou 3 and irresponsible manner in which those revenues were now administered .
Lord Seymour referred to the old accounts of the Woods and Forests oSce to show that the net revenue bad been gradually improved , having advanced in England from £ 43 , 000 to £ 203 , 300 , since 1809 ; in Scotland from £ 14 , 900 to £ 26 , S 00 since 1 S 32 ; and in the Isle of Man , from £ 1 , 400 to £ 5 , 000 stnee 1827 . From these improvements he argued that the past management had not been altogether reckless . Turning to the figure ? quoted by Lord Duncan , he claimed , besides the £ 774 , 000 acknowledged on the face of the receipts , the further items of £ 145 , 000 balance in band ; £ 116 , 000 paid under a vote of parliament for the Victoria Park , and £ 216 , 000 expended under the provisions
• of various acts of parliament , some of which were IS Old as the reign of Charles II . Furt ^ ermore there were large sum 3 appropriated to a scries of improvements under the direction of the Board of Works These deductions would leave but a comparatively Email amount , and would come under the supervision of the bouse if the resolution were carried ); and it would also throw difficulties in the way of the intended separation of the Board of Works from the Woods and Forests department . He proposed as an amendment , a motion for leave to bring in a bill to amend the management of the land revenues of the crown and separating the stewardship of the royal estates from the superintendence of the Public Works .
After a suggestion from Mr . Hume that the resolution should be passed as a basis for the introduction of a bill hereafter , Sir B . Hall recommended that the crown properties which had been so unwisely administered should be treated as the incumbered e . tates of Ireland were treated and sold for the public beneit . He wished that the resolution before them should lie passed , in order that parliament might get the estates into its hands and . ascertainiKeir value . Sir II . WiLLODGDBr adduced many instances of improvidence and waste in the past system of management , and stated that £ 1 , 200 , 000 value of lands and property had been sold , the money being laid out unprofitable , or left almost wholly unaccounted for . There were very large sums at stake , and a deploraMe lack of checks and responsibility . Lord Doxcax replied .
The house divided , and the motion was carried agamsttho government by a majority of 120 to On the motion of Sir G . Pechell , certain rel ?™ 3 were ordered respecting Greenwich Hos-The r ? P ° rt of fte committee of supnlr on the navy estimates was brought up and agreed to . inJ-WH 9001 " * S <* * e Metropolitan Bnildags Bill was postponed until Mondav ! commit ^™ EMl 0 SnrC BUl P ^ thron « Adjournel at a quarter-past seven .
WEDNESDAY , March 12 th HOUSE OF COMMOXS . -T . he hou ^ e met at Cousir Rates asd Expesdmcre Bill . —Mr M Gibson moved the second reading of this bill ' Bv this measure ccunty financial boards were ' este Wished , composed partly of magistrates and partlv of representatives elected by the ratepayers The principle of admitting the latter body to a share of control over the expenditure to which they contribnted had been sanctioned by parliament last fear , and was widely supported throughout the C ountry . Sir J . Pabklsgtos strongly objected to a measure which he f aid would materially interfere with the

functions of the county justices , especially by taking out of their hands the control over the police and the gaols . He appealed to the house and the Hom
Mr . Hume supported the bill , as carrying out the great principle that representation and taxation should so hand in hand . After some further discussion , the bill was read a second time , upon the understanding that it was to be referred to a select committee , with the consent of Mr . M . Gibson and under the promised protection of Lord J . llussell . Expenses of Prosecutions Bin . —• The motion for the second reading of this bill led to a brief conversation in the course of which Mr . Hume recommended the appointment of a public prosecutor ; and Sir G . Gret explained that the design of the measure was to check the irregularities and extravagance that had risen from the payment of
prosecution expenses out of the Consolidated Fund . The bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed on Wednesday next . Appbestices asd Servasis Bill . —Mr . Baines , in moving the second reading of this bill , specified the defects in law which it proposed to remedy , and the nature of the remedies . The case of the Sloncs , he observed—and there had been others of a similar character—afforded an illustration of the defective state of the law . The first defectwas that , however clear might be the obligation of a master or mistress to provide food for the due sustenance of a young person , the criminal law afforded no means of enforcing it , save in the case of an infant of tender years . Another defect was that any case of refusal to provide due sustenance ,
or any assault , however brutal , unless it came within the category of feloniously assaults , was merely treited as a misdemeanour , and the penalty could not go beyond simple imprisonment and fine . A third defect was that , except in cases of felonious assaults , no means existed of providing for the payment of the costs of prosecution . By this bill he proposed that where the master or mistress of a young person under eighteen shall be legally liable to provide food and necessaries , the obligation might be enforced by penalties under the criminal law , and if by the refusal to make such provision , or by reason of any assault , such yqniig person ' s life should be endangered or health injured , without legal justification , the offender might be
subjected to imprisonment with hard labour ; and he proposed to vest in the Court in such cases a discretionary power of giving the costs of prosecution . There was another defect in the existing law , which provided scarcely any means of protecting young persons hired from workhouses or bound as pauper apprentices ; and this bill required that such persons should be periodically visited by an officer of the union , who should report to the guardians any case of cruel treatment . Lastly , when it became the duty of the parochial officers to prosecute in such cases , it was doubtful whether the present law sanctioned the payment of tbc costs out of the poor-rate , and the bill proposed to authorise application of the funds of the union or parish to the costs properly incurred .
Mr . Hexlet , Colonel Rawdox , and Sir J . Deckworth spoke in condemnation of the bill , which was read a second time . The house adjourned shortly after four o ' clock . THURSDAY , March 13 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Sale of Arsenic Bill was read a second time . The object of the bill is to controul the unlimited sale of this poison , by requiring the vendor to enter in a book the quantity sold , the object for which it is stated to be required , and the name and address of the purchaser . Lord Brougham called the attention of government to the careless mode in which the income-tax officers performed the duties with which they were charged , a case having come to his knowledge in which a number of returns under the act had been left lying about in an inn . The Marquis of Laxsdowxe said care should be taken that the officers should in future be more
cautious . The Designs Act Extension Bill was read a third time and passed . The Passengers Act Amendment Bill went through committee . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —There not being forty members present at four o ' clock , the house adjourned till Friday . I Fren our Steond Edition of last wtek . J FRIDAY , March 7 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The Designs Extension Bill went through committee . Lord Brougham moved the first reading of the County Courts Act Extension Bill , which after some discussion was agreed to , and their lordships adjourned .
HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Lord J . Russeli , in moving that the house adjourn till Monday next , said that it would be desirable that a vote on the Army and Ordnance estimates should be taken on Monday next ; and that the vote on the Income-tax would not be taken till Monday , the 24 th inst ., and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would , on the 21 st , previously explain the alterations to be made in the Budget . Papai Aggression —Sir G . Gret then entered into a statement of the alterations to be made in this hill . He said the government could not consent to make the measure applicable to England only , as if they did so , it would have been a tacit admission that the Queen ' s authority was less paramount and less supreme in one portion of her dominions than it was in another . As regarded
Ireland , there was certainly a difference , so far as the Roman Catholic Bishops were concerned , from England , for in the former these bishops had been recognised as such since the Reformation , whereas in the latter they bad been merely vicars apostolic . In Ireland , therefore , there had grown up a number of usages and practices in regard to bequests to the Church , which it would be exceedingly difficult to eradicate , while it was moreover said that the measure as it stood would be in direct hostility to the Bequests Act , which was passed for the regulation of these . If the bill should be read a second time , and the house go into committee upon it , he would move that the second and third clauses should be struck out . He concluded by moving that the order of the day for the second reading of the bill be postponed to Friday , which after some discussion was agreed to , and the house adjourned .

NATIONAL REFORM ASSOCIATION . i On Monday evening the Becond monthly toirh for the present year of this association was held at the London Tavern , Sir J . Walmsley , M . P in the chair . The body of the hall was crowded to excess , and hundreds of persons were refused admission at an early hour . On the platform were Richard Hartlev Kennedy , Esq ., T . S . Serlc , Esq ., Henry I . Slaek ' , Esq ., Denis M'Donald , Esq ., Robert Le Blond , Esq ., L . Brewster , Esq . ( Connecticut ) , Dr . Ronay ( from Hungary ) , Charles Gilpin , Esq ., W . D . Saull , Esq ., George Shil ibeer , Esq ., Alfred Walker , Esq ., Edward Miall , Esq ., F . G . Toralin , Esq ., &o ., &o . Mr . Fox addressed the meeting . The hon .
eentleman commenced by expressing his approval of those monthly soirees , as being efficient means in working out the cause of Reform . Having given a brief but comprehensive sketch of the progress of the representative system , he said the . obstacles arising to reform from want of loyalty amongst the bod y of the people did not at present exist , for ho waa old enough to remember three Sovereigns , -and within his memory there never was more loyalty felt and exhibited than at the present time . But much as he coincided in that sentiment of attachment to the Sovereign , he could not avoid assenting to the doctrine that if royalty did not discharge itsduties and its functions , that it was not entitled to the affections of the nation , and that they were bound
to deal with monarchy as an institution , which if they were not satisfied to be content with , they had a right to abolish . Having referred to the part which Lord John Russell had taken respeotiug the extension of the franchise , he said he was not one of those who would refuse to receive an instalment of reform ; but , at the same time , he felt bound to counsel those whom he had the honour to address , as well as the whole body of Reformers , not to be made the dupes of any mean tactics—any vile party play , or any party political purpose . Having adverted to the observation of Mr . Disraeli , as to the traditions of his party , he said that the Reformers had also their traditions ; and bow glorious were these traditions , embracing , as they did , the chivalry ,
the endurance , and the martyrdom of the most . ardent , patriotic , and enlightened spirits that ever the country possessed , and rendered illustrious by the deathless names ot Sir Thomas More , and Milton , and Locke . The Reformers of the present day were not introducing any innovations in the theory of politics ; they were merely endeavouring to develope more fully , and to reduce to practice the glorious principles which had been propounded by those who had preceded them in the cause of reform . They could not be called destructives , Sfor all they were seeking to accomplish was what had antecedently existed , or what was the natural growth of that existence , and was suited to the circumstances of the present day . There waB a period
in their history when they possessed annual parliaments , vote by ballot , and other democratic privileges , which they were now seeking to revive . Ho denied that the country was free so long as those who were taxed bad not a voice in the selection of representatives . The great principle which was now developing itself throughout the country was that of self-government . Towards the attainment of that object there were many encouraging circumstances at the present time . For instanee , there were the reduction of taxation , fraternisation amongst churches , and the assumption of their proper places by talent and intelligence . No one could doubt that the necessity for reform existed , for what was the fact?—a fact which showed that
governing bodies in this country were selected from one class—why that Lord John Russell had advised her Majesty to call to her councils Lord Stanley , whose policy , he believed , would be most oalamitous to the country . That was a proof that the government of this country was considered as the patrimony of the aristocracy . But the popular right would ultimately triumph over the present system . - The Association should persevere in their present intelligent course , and they would then accomplish their object . Was it to be endured that they should submit in the present day to the system of corruption and intimidation that was resorted to in order to debauch the constituencies ? He would warn the community against any party , whether Whig or Tory , that had recourse to bribery . or intimidation , for so long as such existedthey could
, not have representatives upon whom they oould rely . He was not in favour of tho ballot in itself , but so long as the present system of intimidation and corruption existed , protection from siioh iafluences was necessary for the voter . They should pursue reform in a spirit of independence , remembering that it wa 3 an intellectual subject , and that they ought to be able to give a reason for what they said , or for any views they advanced . The object they sought would be a life-work with some of them ; but it was an object worth the devotion of a life to its attainment . B y judicious means they would accomplish their end , and if they showed that they were deserving of success , they would hasten to aggrandise that success , The hon . gentleman concluded a most eloquent address , during which he was most enthusiastically applauded .
, T . S . Serle , Esq ., moved the following resolution : — " This meeting desires to express its thanks to W . J . Fox , Esq ., M . P ., for the admirable lecture delivered this evening , and it hopes that the true spirit of reform which he has so eloquently described , may before long be found to animate all ranks of the people . " C . GitPiN , Esq ., seconded the resolution , which was agreed to unanimously . Mr . Fox returned thanks . Sir J . Walmsley said that he was compelled to vacate the chair , as he was most anxious to attend the nouse of Commons to support Joseph Hume and his band of reformers , who were endeavouring to obtain for the people their just rights . The hon . gentleman then left , and Mr . Serle waa called to the chair .
J . Thwaites , Esq ., moved tho next resolution , which was to the effect— " That this meeting is of opinion that tho Ministerial crisis has fully showed the folly of attempting to carry on the government of this country by the combination of a few aristocratic families , to the exclusion of men possessing the confidence of the people , and consider that all who desire honest and cheap government , will effectually promote it by contributing to the National Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . " R . H . Kennedy , Esq ., seconded the resolution , which was adopted . J . Slack , Esq ., moved a vote of thanks to the chairman ( Mr . Serle ) . Mr . Towssesd seconded the motion in a very eloquent and impressive address , in the course of which he stated that , from a knowledge of the sentiments of the working class at the present time , he felt satisfied they were ready to unite with the middle class in obtaining reform .
The resolution was carried , and the vast assem Wage separated .

THE STRIKE OF THE SEAMEN OF LONDON . An adjourned meeting of the master mariners and seamea of the port of London was held on Monday night , at the Temperance Hall , Princessquare , Ratcliffe-highway , for the purpose of resuming the discussion of the grievances under which they labour , from the operation of the Mercantile Marine Act . The hall was , if possible , more crowded than on the former occasion , but the most orderly bohavimir marked the whole of the proceedings . At half-past seven the chair was taken by Mr . John Kavanagh , ono of the members of the late deputation to the Board of Trade . The CnAiRMAN , in opening the business , said that
it was with regret that on Friday night they were unable to give the answer of the Board of Trade to the memorial on their grievances , which had been promised to be sent in time for their meeting . That answer , however , had now arrived ; and he must say , that the answer of the Bosivd of Trade was in everv respect unsatisfactory , and unless the meeting took the matter into their hands , and got thoso griovances redrossed , he felt assured that they would never be able to sail with the same pleasure that they had heretofore done , and their fathers beforo them . —The Board of Trade had said they would withdraw the twenty-two clauses from the ships' articles , and . that they might be posted in tbe shipping offices , but tbey gave an answer that
they would not be satisfied unless they were withdrawn altogether , for tbey did not mean to como back with a foolish answer , or be treated as children by any man . At their last meeting , they had come to a i evolution that they would not go near a ship or shipping office until they had got their grievances redressed in a proper manner . The Board of Trade had promised that they should be so , but they had not done so . When they went before gentlemen , tbey did not expect to be deceived —but they had been most gioesly deceived , and such being so , ho considered they were fully justified in the course they had taken , for the conduct of Mr . Labouchero was a downright insult to every seaman in the United Kingdom . ( Hear , hear . ) They
had been deprived of all their rights and privileges by their , own government , and he could not but with regret mention a fact , that when be was out on Saturday last , endeavouring to raise a few subscriptions in support of their cause , several young men , in answer to his application , said they did not oare about the Mercantile Marine Bill , as they could fly to America , where they could get good wages and constant employment , and that they would not trouble England any more . As the Board of Trade , howevor , had not thought fit satisfactorily to answer their memorial , or to redress their grievances , the only course they had to pursue was , to get up petitions to both Houses of Parliament . Should they not be listened to—but he firmly believed they
would be—they must then petition her most gracious Majesty tbe Queen . Should all prove of no avail , then their only hope would be to leave their native country , and fly to the land of freedom , where they would not be oppressed . ( Loudcheers . ) If this opportunity was let slip , and they did not by orderly , peaceable , and quiet means , get their evils redressed , their chains would be rivotted for life , and they would never be able to shake them off . He called upon his friend , Mr . George Riddle , to move the first resolution . Mr . Gboroe Riddle said , that they had now got the answer of the Board of Trade to their memorial , and he believed that that body could not have
treated them with a greater insult—he repeated it , and he hoped tbe reporters would take down his precise words—that it was a gross insult to every sailor that sailed out of any port of Great Britain , They had asked the Board of Trade to place the shipping offices in the docks , where those who were to use them could go to them , and not to require men ( o travel from the East India Docks to Towerhill to go to them , for he knew no one who would pay the expense of his wear of shoe-leather , although be supposed there were parties ready to pay the expense of the " footmen " who were constantl y in attendance upon him . However , he would now read the answer of the Board of Trade to the
memorial that had been presented to them . Mr . Riddle then proceeded to read the following document : — " In reply to the memorial of master mariners and seamen of the port of London , I am directed by the President of the Board of Trade to state , that he cannot hold out any expectation that he will propose to parliament the repeal of the main provisions of the Mercantile Marine Act , such as the examinations of masters and mates , or the establishment of public shipping-offices , because he is satisfied that their maintenance is conducive to the interests of all classes connected with the merchant shipping . Some of the details of the measure may be found to require improvement ; and if , after
some experience , this shall be the case , lie will feel it to be his duty to submit to parliament such alterations as may appear expedient . There are , I am to add , some points in the memorial to which Mr . Labouohei'e will be prepared to give his best attention whenever such a bill shall be introduced . "As there is one point—namely , the effect of entries in the " official log-book , " where it appears to be misunderstood by the memorialists , 1 have to point out that they are , in faet , a check upon the master and a protection to the sailor ; for whilst every offence must be entered in the log , and cannot be punished without such entry , the entry is no proof ef it , and if a charge is subsequently made , it must be substantiated by other independent
evidence . I am , however , directed to state that Mr . Labouchere considers it reasonable that the entry , when made , should be read to the man who is charged with the offence , and he will be prepared to consider tho point whenever further legislation shall take place . " With regavd to the points adverted to in the memorial whioh especially affect the port of London , Mr . Labouchere considers that the regulations as to fines shall be removed from the articles , because he finds , upon inquiry , that they have , in the great majority of cases , been adopted either wholly , or in great part , in the shipment of crews in London , and because he believes that it is now fully understood by the seamen that it is altogether optional
on their part whether they consent or decline to adopt them . " As for providing an additional shipping-office for the public convenience , as the memorialists ap . pear to deBire , I am to state that Mr . Labouchere has communicated with the Local Marine Board of London on the bubjeet , and that he is not at present prepared , without further trial of the existing system , to incur the expeuses which such an establishment would require . "T , H . Farrer . " "Office of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade , March 8 , 1851 . " Now this was the answer of the Board of Trade . Mr . Labouchere had said that he would be prepared to give his attention whenever further legislation
should take place upon this subject . Who , he would ask , was to take up this legislation ? Was Mr . Labouchere anxious to throw the disgrace of his dirty work upon some one else , or why , if further legislation was required , did he not originate it himBelf ? He was the President of the Board of Trade , and tho whole matter was in his hands . There was not one satisfactory point in the whole answer . He concluded by moving that tho seamen of the port of London unite in petitioning both houses of parliament to repeal the Mercantile Marine Act of 1850 . ( Cheers . ) Mr . John Anderson , of South Shields , seconded the resolution . The resolution was then put , and unanimously carried , after which the meeting separated .

Tnis Sailors on Strike , who visited Manchester early last week to make subscriptions on behalf of their brethren at Liverpool ; are still in that town to the number of 180 or 200 , and go about in comnames of three or four , collecting subscri ptions from housekeepers , shopkeepers , and others . On Saturday last they presented themselves at the mills at wage time , and the hands coming into possession of money were generally disposed to be liberal in theuvdonations . The y have a committee-room at the Peoples Institute , Heyrood-atreet , Ancoats where the public are invited to visit them at their meetings , and they have it in contemplation to set up a ball . On Sunday morning they proceeded , a little before eleven o ' clock , in a procession to the Cathedral Church . As they went through the streets , thousands of people collected about and ac companied _ them . They were too latn f ™ ti , n
opening of service . The cathedral was crowded with a fashionable audience , whose gay diessos would have contrasted strangel y with Jack ' s more homely attire ; but the admission of such a body of men to the sacred edifice at that time was out of the question . Tho Mayor of Manchester and Mr Birely , senior churchwarden , left the church to have an interview with them , representing to the leaders the crowded state of tbo edifice already , upon which they retired , riot much pleased with having to do so . Hitherto they have so conducted themselves as to leave little room for inteference with them . Their leaders maintain something like discipline , and any misbehaviour , such as drunkenness or swearing , is punished b y cropping off nearly the whole of the hair , after which the culprit is taken to the railway station , his fare paid to Liverpool , and sentence ot banishment carried out without appeal .
Seamen ' s Waoes is the Northers Ports _ it will be recollected that ono of the objects of the late strike among the sailors in the northern ports of England was to obtain an advance of wages the demands made by the men being as follows - £ i 10 s . per month from tbe 1 st of October till the 1 st of April ; £ 310 s . from the 1 st of April till tit 1 st of October ; and £ 3 and small ftSes in h Baltic and American trades . The owners of vessoU ready for sea gave these wages rather than detain their vessels ; but the ship-owners of Sunderland as a body have now determined to lower the rates l , i order to keep up their wages , the seamen of Vat port had formed a permanent association , regulated

by certain rules , one of whioh was , that in the event of the owners refusing to give the above rate of wages , the member of the association so refused should be relieved from the funds of the association ; another rule is , "that no member of this association shall sail in any ship belonging to this port , the crew of which also belong to the port , unless the crew are all members of this association ; and that if a strike takes place for wages in any port in the north , and tho owners of such port apply to this port for seamen , each member pledges himself that he will not go to man tho ships of Bueh owners to the injury of the crew of tho port . " An important meeting of the Shipowners' Society of the port was held on the 7 th inst ., when a committee
which had been appointed to consider the question of wages reported that , in their opinion , " tho wages required by the seamen are far beyond what the present froights will enable the shipowners to pay ; that the effect of the combinationwill be to restrict trade , and thus operate to the injury both of employers and employed , and that some effort ought to be made to effect an arrangement for a fair and reasonable rate of wages sucli as the shipowners may bo able to pay and the seamen ought to be content to receive . That your committee recommend the following scale , viz .: £ i per voyage in winter , extending from the 1 st of November to the last day of February , and '; £ 3 per voyage from the
1 st of March to the 31 st of October for the London trade . The west country rates to be 7 s . Od . per voyage below the London rates . The American , Baltic , and Archangel rates , £ 2 15 s . per . month , and small stores . That the voyage to Hamburgh be equal to a London voyage , and 10 s . additional . " Tne recommendations of the committee were unanimously adopted by the meeting , and a deputation of the shipowners was appointed to confer with the seamen with reference to the matter . This deputation met with a deputation from the seamen in the afternoon , and the resolutions of the shipowners having been laid before them , they undertook to submit them to a meeting of the seamen for consideration .

CLERKENWELL . —Disturbing a Congregation . —A portly looking man attired in a suit of mourning , who gave his address as William Fredc * . rick , gentleman , of No . 29 , Union-street , Clarendonsquare , Somers-town , was oharged with disorderly conduct , and disturbing tho congregation of St . Paul ' s Church , Camden-square , St . Pancras . —Mr . Jennings , verger of the church , said that on Sunday morning the prisoner entered the church and took a seat in one of the aisles . The service had begun , when tho prisoner behaved in a most extraordinary manner , first standing up , then walking about , and resuming his seat , and joining the responses in an extravagantly loud voice . He then marched round , ogleing the ladies through an eye-glass . The
prisoner continued this course of proceeding whilst the clergyman was professing the Belief , and the annoyance became so great tliat witness and several gentlemen remonstrated with tho prisoner , but this only had the effect of increasing his violence , when he put himself into the most ludicrous gestures , still ogled the ladies , and in one part of the church there were sixty young ladies belonging to a boarding-school , who could not be kept from laughing at his peculiar antics . Witness at length was directed to eject the prisoner and to give him into custod y . — Mr . Tyrwhitt asked whether the prisoner was sober at the time ? Witness : I think he was sober , but he smelt very strong of tobacco . —Prisoner ( excitedly ) : You revile me . " Oh , Father forgive them ,
they know not what they do . "—An Inspector of Police said the prisoner was a gentleman of independent property and hi ghly connected . A gold watch asd £ 5 in gold , some silver , and a prayerbook were found in his possession . — -Prisoner : I have a stentorian voice , and I happened to sing and speak too loudly , when he ( the verger ) came up and seized me round the body to put me out ; that was an assault , your worship . I live at 29 , Unionstreet , Clarendon-fquare , with a widow lady . My brother is Lieutenant-Colonel Augustus Frederick , of India . He added that Colonel Tandeleur and the Rev . Dr . Gross knew him , and he begged of the
worthy magistrate to send and make inquiries about him , and place him at liberty , as he had been locked up in the station-house since he was taken into custody , He would pledge his honour as a gentleman never to go to St . Paul ' s Church again if he was liberated , and he would make his appearance at this court at any future period . —Mr . Tyrwhitt said it was not to be tolerated that congregations should be disturbed in such a way , and he must communicate with his friends and produce » ome security for his good behaviour . He ordered that the prisoner should be detained , and in tbe course of the day he was bailed and liberated , when he left the court with his friends .
LAMBETH . —A Young ScouNDREL . —Richard F . Loder , a youth of fifteen years of age , was charged with assaulting and threatening his father ' s life . — From the evidence of his father , who resides in Penton-place , and is a collector of rents , it appeared that for the last two months the prisoner had conducted himself in so outrageous a manner , that he went in personal dread of him , and left and re-entered his house in perfect terror . The prisoner , after breaking the panels of two of the doors , brandished a knifo upon being remonstrated with , and threatened to use it upon him . —The younger brother of the prisoner corroborated his father ' s account , and a police constable , who was called in to remove the prisoner , said that , in his
presence , he admitted striking his father , and also making use of the most violent threats towards him . —The prisoner , who treated the matter with the greatest levity , was ordered to find bail for his good behaviour for two months . MARLBOROUGH-STREET .-A Drunken Assault . —John Godfrey , William York , and George Additon , were charged with having been drunk and assaulted the police while in the execution of their duty . —Policeman 38 B said he was on duty on Saturday night in Oxfordstreet , when his attention was called to the Driwho the
soners , were worse for liquor , and fighting in the road . Witness desired them to go home quietly , and on their refusal he called assistance and conveyed them to the station . On arriving at the latter place the prisoner York made a bolt and made oft . Witness followed him , and recaptured him in Davie 3-street . The prisoner resisted very much , nnd bit his hand nearly through . The other prisoners were also very violent , and struck him and his brother oonstable several times . —Mr Bingham committed York for ten days , and fined the other two 10 s . each , and in default to be comnuttpd to the House of Correction .
THAMES .-Biting off a Man ' s Lip . —Jeremiah OLeary was charged with biting off a man ' s lip . William Sullivan , an old Irishman , said he lived near Soloman ' s-lane , Limehouse , and the prisoner was his coutryman . He was with him near Limehouse-causeway , on Monday afternoon , and thev quarrelled . The prisoner wanted to fight , which he refused to do because ho wan too old . The prisoner followed him , and threw him down several times , and bit his under li p off . The poor fellow who spoke very imperfectl y , was in a weakly con dition from loss of blood , and the fri ghtful injury he received , and his face , head , and lips , were bandaged .-George Kennard , an Englishman , gave a better account of the transaction . The old man "
was peaceabl y disposed , and the prisoner , who was as big again , and thrice his strength of the other taunted him , and wanted him to fight , and on his refusal to Bland up beforo such a powerful adversary lie was Btruck and slapped about the head . Sullivan ran out of the house , and the prisoner folium into the street , and knocked him down . Sullivan got up bleeding , and said let me go , on which tbe prisoner throw him down and repeated this several times , and fell upon the old man . Sullivan got up again , and the prisoner bit his lip off !—Mr Yardley : Was he up or down ? Kennard : Up sir O'Loiiry hugsed him , seized his lip with his teeth ' shook him like a dog , and bit his lip off . Sullivan * shrieked out " Murder , " and said , " He has bit mv
lip off . " The prisoner eaid , " If he did not like that he would bite his nose off , " and was advancing towards the old man again , evidently with the intention of doing further mischief , when the old man was pulled away and taken to a surgeon —Mr Yardley : Did he bleed much ? The witness- he * did , indeed , sir ; he bled a good deal . -Mr . Yardler and what became of the lip ? Kennara : it f / n from the prisoner ' s mouth into the gutter . It was lost , sir .

ASTLEY'S TnEATRE . Tho chief attraction at this far-famed establishment is Pitzball ' s historical drama of Joan of Arc or the Maid of Orleans . The plot and incidents are too well known to render description necessary , and the piece is produced on a scale of costly splendour for which this theatre stands unrivalled . Prince Charles was well personated by Mr . N . T . Hicks , and Mrs . Moreton Brooks ably sustained the part of the heroine . The celebrated " Momus " Barry , and Mrs . Beacham , kept the audience in a roar . The Bomische Polka , by Mr . and Mrs . Ilarvey , was rapturously encored , and Mdlle . Gaddoni , who is certainly a most accomplished artiste on tho tiuht l' ° Pe , ""as deservedly called before the audience , The scenes in the circle were of a very attractive character , and the performers , both biped and quadruped , gave unbounded satisfaction . We must not omit to mention the clever and daring acts of horsemanship by Mr . A . Bridges and Mr . C . Adanw . Tho entertainments concluded with the lauglmblo faroe of Jonathan , or the Man with Two Masttrs . We perceive that the Polish and Hungarian Refugees will take a . benefit at this theatre on Monday night , the 17 th inst ., when we trust the house will be filled to overflowing , which it will be , if all in tho metropolis who have expressed sympathy for tho noble exiles are present on that occasion .
