It ramt he admitted on all hands , we think , that the re-Jations between Labour and Capital were never in a condition more anomalous ant ] unsatisfsetory . Disputes between workmen and their employers upon wages , a : ii other matters . iiev ? a . w 2 ys fxuted , and we pm <» n ? , in the present Stale of society , are always 1 kely ta es := t . Heretofore , the SJ 3 lec of strikes acted as a sort of iafejy-valve , ihrouch which , the pent-up humour , and aag'y passions of either psrty evzporsted , and the ir . < iu < tiial atmosphere was restored
xo us wor . ted s ' .-eitnr . After lengthen-d conflicts , mutua'ly damaging , each applied its ^ 'f to recover its former position , which , when attained , the old spirit of antagonism aza n brok-. forh , to be allayed only by the same unwise aad irr&tiraal expedients . Strikes , revertbeless , with al their manifold ai = d aekaowkuged evils , are the only weapons which the work ng ra ?; n can at pres-nt employ , to protect themselves froii unjast aggressions . That they are dange-I 0 U 3 weapons , and sometimes most improperly e&ijloved is not the fanlt of the working cJasf .
To every other c ! as 3 of soeie : ? , the law presents tribunals for the settlement of their disputes , whnse decisions ate binding on each party . Agreements and undertakings , promises and prev ' soes , written and verbal , rights and pri-Vsleg s by pre cription , usage and custom , &c ., are main , tamable and recoverable in Courts o ( Law , Equity , and Arbitration , whose decisions and awards are obli gatory . Labour of all the great interests of society , the greatest and most important , 13 alone denied this common right of citizenship and has , practically , no remedy for its wrongs , but Strikes ! ' We have had recently some potent examples of the daagerona aad inefficient results of the preent svsteai
ihe present law of combination , although distinctly by Us lett-r recognising the right of working tnen combining to fix the amount of their wages , & »_• ., j s truiy " a mocktry , delus on , and sn 2 re ; " because the same la . v makes it pen 3 . in any combination of workmen , to cause clissractinn nr molestation" ( not merely of a physical cba " T 2 Ct * r ) to their esipWrs ; a » 6 iio-s is " it possible for anv combinative aaiion for aa advance , or iu resistance to an effdred redaction of wages to take place without causing s mo ! esta ' . i . > n and obstruction to the employer ? Or how can any combinfctfon practically act for such " purposes without their acts havin ? a tendency to compel such einolover " to cbanite and alter his mode of conductiag his husiae = s ? " Andtbi 3 , accordinz to recent le * al decisions , is penal .
The National Association of United Trades was the first public movement to introduce a more rational mode of dealing with industrial dispute , by bringing the antagonistic ponies to agree toz ? . hcr to submit their conflicting claims to the sober arbi'rimeat of reason assil argument , and very treat success has attended their efforts in this direction . And we are proud to find that the working classes in many trades have a evinced disposition to adopt Onr improved system . The happy results , which can he shown to have followed thia just and conciliatory policy , wherever it has been accepted and fairly acted upon by bot parties , is apowerful . and , we think , an irresistible argument for Us general SuODtlOll .
We therefore have resolved to appeal to ihe legislature to institute some legal machinery , such as local boards of trade , consisting of equal numbers of employers and employed , presided over tij- some perfectly independent and impartial authority , to adjust all disputes between hhour and capital , securing to each its rights , without iniurv or prejudice to the rights of the other . J * Wo think the working clas 3 entitled to thi 3 . by every princnVe of equity and justice . J The committee twve prepared a petition to Parliament Trinca we hone our ftithfcl friend an-1 champion T S Dancomb * , fcq ., will present in a few davs ; and * we earnestly umte the Trades of Great Britain to follow up toe agitafeoa of this import-rat , question which we thus initiate .

Every one to whom he ( Mr .

It was an honour to the town to be pointed at as a model for the establishment of local boards throughout the country . The proposal for establishing such boards h-id the support of njany members of Parliament , and also of some of the ministry , and be believed there was a prnspeet of a Parliamentary enactment lo protect labour , without leaving it to the dictation of masters , or having recourse to strikes . The men of . Vaeclesfield were bound in honour to cling together to obtain such a desirable object . The shor ¦ itUi 1 i I v&i ob ' aintd under worse auspices : and this measure , founded in honour and linnestr , could be obtained , if there was unity
ia its support . He wished to say a word or two in reference to his position in connection with the present strike . It had been said that he was an interested patty in tha strike , beinjj Secretary . lie admitted hs was an interest d party , but only so far interested that he wished to support the wages of the trade by which he and his children had to earn their bread . He knew tliat , from the prominent part he had taken in the strike , he should not be allowed to work for the Messrs . Brocklchursts acain . However , that there might be no obstacle to the restoration of the proposed local Board of Trade , as soon as the manu ' acturers had consented to the v ^' posal , both he and Mr . Bailey would resign . He concluded by proposing the following resolution : — " That it is the opinion of this meetin ? , that the manufacturers should he requested to hold a meeting for the purpose of re-establishing the loca ! Board of Trade . " Mr . Smith seconded the resolution . The resolution was put and carried , and the business of tlie meeting terminated .

YORKSHIRE TRADES' STRIKES—BRADFORD WEAVERS' MEETING . ( From our own CorrespMdsn LJ An important and numerous meeting of power-loom weavers w ; w held on an open space of ground at the top of Tumbling Hill , near the Thornton-road , Bradford , to consider the best means of counteracting the " two-loom system , " which is cau 3 ine so much distress and turmoil in these districts . Mr . Charles 'Whiteeote was called to the chair , and briefly introduced the business of tho mcetintr . Mr . Biraabas Knofthropp moved the first resolution , which was to the following ' effoet : — ' That seeing the evils that exist , and tho consequences that are likely to result from the continuance of the " two-loom system" by aUtlin ? to the numbers already out of employ , and thus furnishing tho means , through " surplus labour , '" for continual re ' duction in our w ^ tjes , we therefore resolve to assist the weavors of Messrs . Browa until their ju 3 t demands are complied with . "
Mr . Knosthropp said that the two-loom system was the cause of throwing hundred * out of employ , and thus ovpj - stocking what was termed the " Libour Market . " It likewise tended to stosk thaBwtile in Little Horton with the rejected outcasts who were no lonqer needed to swell the purses of their oppressors . Ho would appeal to their experienco . If thero were four weavers in a family , and two of them attended two looms each , of course the other two were left witboutemployment , and were competitors against them , so that at length the four looms were kept at work for less than should be paid for the produce of two . Mr . Knosthropp made some other pertinent remarks , and concluded by stating , that as their worthy friend , Abraham Robinson was in attendance , at the special request o' tho Committee , he would trespass no lonsrer on their tirao but cordially support the resolution . ( Loud cheers . ) Mus Alice Williams , a power-loom weaver , seconded the resolution .
The Chairman then announced Mr . Abraham Robinson to support the resolution . Mr . Robinson arose amidst much applause to address tho meeting , which had tlien increased to a large multitudo lie said there was no question of greater importance than the labour question . It was one , on the proper solution of which depended the welfare and even the lives of the working classes . A 3 far as the parties on strike from Messrs . Brown ' s were concerned , they were compelled to strike . They had worked at one loom until they could nofc live by it any longer ; they were then forced to adopt tlie two-loom system ; and even then the greediness of capital would not allow them to live , although doini two persons work . The question , therefore , for thorn to consider was , whether they were to live by lahour , or to labour , starve , and die . It was said bv the
employers , " Oh , if you do not do it at our prices , the trade will go into Lancashire . " Let it go , then ! ( Loud cheers . ) Perish for ever , a trade by which the operative cannot live . ( Hear , hear . ) He then alluded to the mode by which capitalists ground down the price of labour . Their main object was to create a surplus of hands in the labour mar . ket , so that two might apply when thera was only work for one . They then reduced the wages until the weavers could no longer bear it . Englishmen boasted of their bvavery , whilst their sons and daughters wero pining for broad ; and the parties who had reduced them to that position were those who said at one time , ' Let us got a Uepo . il of the Com Lawq . Let ushavo cheap bread , and then you shall have hiaher wage ? . " V ? here was the promised high wages ? ( Shouts of " Thoy are linrs ! " ) Yes , he knew they were
liar ' . Tiipy had got cheap bread , but it was placed on so high a shelf that they could not roach it . ( Loud cheers . ) "What hopes could they have of supporting a family under such a system ? Under which the women had superseded their husbands , and had to let their children out to nurse whilst they toiled in tbe factory for a bare existence . Shame on the English people for tolerating such a destructive system . ( Loud choor ? . ) In former days , when women span by their own firesides , and their husbands wove tllO yarn thus produced , they lived iu pence and contentment ; but now that nwn ' s ingenuity had increased production two hundredfold , the * coul . l scarcely exist . Where was the difference pone to ? To these who toiled not ; neither did they-spin . ( Loud cheers . ) Their oppressors had erected costly mansions out of their sweat ; and the surplus wealth , created by the toil of the labourer , instead of being a blessing , was converted into a cursefor it enabled the
, capitalists to purchase improved machinery to supersede manual labour . He then explained the cause of the present strike , and eloquently denounced the veracity of the brawling Free Traders , who , after working them bevond further endurance , had erected for their benefit a farm house on yonder hill ( the Bastile ) , to which their victims retired to die . and thus they eluded a verdict of " Wilful Murder . " ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Robinson afterwards revertod to numerous topics , which our limited space will not . enable us to report . He inquired whether the Bradford newspaper reporter was present , and showed that the " Bradford Obs-rver w .- . 3 the property of their enemies ? , and that the on \ y reporter present was that of the " Star of Freedom , " which was the faithful advocate of tho rights of labour . He made an eloquent appeal to nil present to support Brown ' s hands on strike , and concluded amidst loud choTS .
Mrs . Hannah Bradley tk-n mounted the rostrum , and said it w . as time the women began to attend to these matters , as she considered the mm : i pare ; - ! of cowards . She ma «! e several pertinent remark ? , and denounced the manufacturers as plunderers of the poor , who , in addition to low cages , gave _ their , bad yam , made of msehine-coinbed wool , thus robbing ihe women rf their wages , whilst thev deprived their husbands of employment . She nr * cd the meeting to support the strike . The resolution was then put and unanimously adopted . foSepKted ** tht ' StHke FUDd > and ' the l "

tar We shall be glad to receive Reports of Progress from Managers or Secretaries of Co-operative Associations and Stores , iu England , Ireland , Scotland and Wales . CO-OPERATIVE LEAGUE . On June 3 th Thornton Hunt , Esq .. rend it paper « On the Application of the Social Wea to Existing Institutions . ' He said that tlie principle of Socialism wasajiroat truththat it i ad l > en taught l » y Ci rist , but Had been nerfectedthat Robert Owen and the "Climtuu Socialist . luwJ doue much to revive it but both had connected with it other views , which , however good they mi / rht be , wero not essentially any part of the principle itself . He then brienv drew , the attention of the meeting to thn evils resulting from tho present injurious system of Competition , pointing out the misery it produced , ana whichwouul continue until production and distribution were bettor arranged .
For competition he would introduce Hie principle of concerted employments in tho production and distribution of wealth ; and he was happy to say that the progress of this principle was cverywln-re becoming manifest . It had however received a great impetus from the oxortions of such men as Louis Blanc , Vansittart Neale , William Conyngham , and others , who had spent their time , talent , and money in endeavouring to make the principle known amongst all parties . Having explained the Social or Associative principle , he drew the it t mtion of thp | meeting to the successful workinp | of the Leeds Flour Mill Association , a fact well known to tho whole town ; also to the number of working men ' s associations rising up in every part of the country . Tho Poor Law Guardians were turning their attention to the principle , and now were advocating the necessity of giving
profitable employment to able-bodied paupers . In Bedford and Oxford arrangements were being mado , and he hoped before another year to see them carried out , to give an agricultural education to the juvenile paupers . lie believed many tradesmen were now carryinsr out a portion of the principle by dealing w'th each otlior for whatever one produced that the other did not , and cenerally they found that hy adopting this arrangement , where it w > is a mutual interest , and where they met face to face , honesty and fair dealing were the result . lie then said that much had been done , yet more was required . Recalled upon tho Socialists throughout the kingdom to embrace overy opportunity to make tho great principle of concert known , and little by little the gre it social problem would be solved . After the reading of the paper , an interesting discussion tnok place , in which Messr ? . Field , Conyngham , Xieholls , Shorter , and others took nart .

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPII BETWEEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND . The following extremely interesting history of the submarine telegraph between Holyhoad and Ilowtb . is given by "Snunder's Dublin Nows Lotter : — " About three weeks aco the idea flashed across ihe mind of Mr . R . S . Newall , of Gateshead . ' This Irish Telegraph will be apayinp concern : it will not require much capital . The firm with which larn connected have facilities for doing the thing—why should wo not set about it . and do it at once ourselves V He accordingly explained his view to his partners , got their consent , and immediately applied to Samuel Statham , Esq ., conductor of the Gutta Percha Works , City-road . ' Can you supply us with eighty miles of telegraph wire , doubly covered with gutta percha , within a fortnight V ' I'll try' was Mr . Stathara ' s response ; and accordingly it was commenced and
finished within the time agreed on , being latterly done at tbe rate of twelve miles a day . Tho coated wire was then sent down to Gafeshead-on-Tyne to be surrounded with twelve galvanised iron wires , twisted round it in a spiral . The cable being finished , Mr . No wall called on Mr . Statham last Tuesday week , and then for the first time told him the object for which it was manufactured . It was agreed that Mr . Statham should bring a staff of assistants ' , and the requisite apparatus to Holyhead the next day to meet the wire . The Admiralty w . is communicated with , and kindly sent down Captain Bcechey , R . N ., to give his valuable advice and assistance ; ami they also lent the Prospero government steamer , Lieutenant Aldridje , R . N ., to aid in carrying out the undertaking-. Meanwhile the Britannia was hired to bring tho cable from Whitehaven , and afterwards pay it out from Ilolyhead to Dublin .
" The enormous cable , eighty miles in length , weighing a ton per mile , and all in one continuous piece , was wound up into immense coils , placed on trucks , one after tbe other , and drawn by steam from Newoastle-ujion-Tyne to Whitehayen—from one side of England to the other . The Britannia , as has been stated , Bteamed to Whitohavcn to bite it on board , when , unfortunately , it was found that the entrance to the dock was too narrow to permit the vessel to enter . The coils had then to be replaced on trucks , and carried to Maryport , where they were at length embarked , and speedily conveyed to Ilolyhead . Now it might be hoped that all difficulties had been overcome , and that there was nothing to do but to lay down the line but Mr . Statham , who had already achieved the Dover and Calais connexion , knew too well the dangers and accidents
to which those concerned were liable in the event of a gale to trust anything to chance , or to proceed one stop further without a careful preliminary inspection . The insulation of the copper was tested , and found to bo defective ; then tho portions stowed in the various departments of the ship were examined separately , and at last it was ascertained that the fault lay in Borne eight miles o . f the line lyin <* in tho bottom of the hold . There was nothing for it but to disembark the leviathan bulk , and to track , it Step by step to the exact seat of the defect . This was accordingly done , the fauit remedied , and by Tuesday morning the giant rope was in readiness to be placed in its abiding homo . " Early on Tuesday morning the Bri'annia , under the command of Capt . Browne , and towed by the Prospero , under Lieut . Aldridgo , B . N ., commenced paying out the eable , according as it sank by its own weight to the bottom of tho sea , along the route from Ilolyhead to Howth . There were on board , besides the office ™ and crew , R . S . Newall Esq ., with a gang from the Gateshead Works ; Samuel
Statliam , Esq ., with a party from the Gutta Percha Works ; Thomas Allen , Esq ., the inventor of a new telegraph instrument ; and Mr . Reid , jun . L . D . Gordon , Esq . ( Mr . Newall's partner ) had previously departed to Dublin , to supervise the land line from the latter city to Howth . Occasional difficulties were experienced in the paying out of tbe coils ; hut they were all overcome through the skill and energy of Messrs . Statham and NeWall , Slowly tbe vessels ploughed on at a rate varying from tbreo to five miles an hour ; and at length , between seven and eight o ' clock on the same evening , tho Britannia anchored off Howth . An electric current was sent through the wueto llolyaoai and the returning answer brought the pleasing intelligence that tho line was all right throughout , and perfectly insulated . Tho portion of cable requisite for completing the connexion with tbe shore and land line was now hid down , and the parties engaged in this arduous undertakihg sought some repose , after nearly two days and nights of excessive and harrowing exertion , about daybreak on Wednesday morning . *
"It might be supposed that everything vm wow smooth and prosperou ? . Buoyant with hope , those who had already Buffered so much in the attempt went down at noon on Wednesday , to tho Amiens-street terminus , to test the success of their enterprise . The batteries were put in action , the wires were connected , and they anxiously waited a reply , but nono arrived ! They telegraphed to Ilowth and were answored-tho fault was further off than the land line . An express train was provided and they dashed down to Uowth . Again they telegraphed to Ilolyhead from the shore-r . o answer ! They took a beat and rowed to tho ship , a message sent to Holjbead brought back the reply that ' all was right there . ' It was now manifest that the fault lay somewhere between the Britannia and tlie shore 'It was necessary again to take up this portion of the hue , and test it little by little . The defect was probably caused by tho straining of the ship upon a line comparatively short . When discovd-ed , it was soon remedied on board . It was again recoiled into an oDen boat , the nrew
oi wmch made a renewed attempt to lay it down to the shore . In the meantime Messrs . Statliam and Nowall pro . ceeded ! o shore m anothor boat with the instruments ; but when they undertook the boat which had been engaged in paying out the cable they found it at a stand , tho crew having managsd to sink the whole lino while still some die-Unee from the 8 hore . Again Mr . Statbam had to return to the ship , get another n » ile of cable uncoiled , recoil it in ikTfn k rematne . and . there , in a , opeu boat , at two ° -. u > ™ M " . . morning , with tho aid of a little barninj spurts , to solder the wires , reunite the sutta percha an 3 restore the cable to a continuous and insulated whole . This was effected tae remaining distance to the shore laid down , and that night of toil was at length reDaid bv a mPZ ^ L
, mow ample ana complete . On Thursday the Britannia tot go the cable and steamed away ; while those on shore , . itter repeated experiments , were satisfactorily convinced that the communication with Uolyhead was now at length without impediment . " h

IRELAND . EXTRAOIIDISARY RIOTS IS BELFAST The subjoined account is compiled from the Belfast Diners of Wednesday : — ' ' One of the extraordinary and unforeseen occurrences which from time to time , avise outcf tfce most tvivial causes , took uliico vpRti . r day evening , in Belfast in , the * hape of disturbance * , amounting to riots , which continued , at intervals , for some lours . In th- worn ing a very large body of Teetotallers mot in procession in town ne " cordiiiK to annual custom , &nd proceeded bj th- > Belfast and UuiV ¦ nena Railway to Randalstown , where a imiilic meeting was held " Om former occasions n very lai « e muster was made to witness the return of tht pai-ty in the evening ; and ! an yc « r , when the Tee . totaHors spent tin ; day in Armagh , the crouds were so dense at the terminus of the Ulster Railway , that the returning party were en . ableu , only with the utmost difficulty , to emerge from the station It is wall known that , from whatever cause , those processions are with favour h
ii' . t Inuked upon y a class in the town ; and , on the Uiet occasion , very serious apprehensions were entertained that on the return of the procession ti bveach of ttuj peace wnuWi Vrare ensued , Fortur . Ht ? ly , however , though there was a coud dc-al of mischievous hustlinc everything ; passed off quietly . A large croivd collectfid iu the vicinity ( if the Belfast an 4 Balljmena Uailwny terminus , await ' ing thy arrival of the processionists about six o ' cl-ck . Shortl y after that hour news arrived of the breakdown of the enpine attached to the special train , near the RaUypaUady station . After the lapse of a brief period , another engine was got ready and despatched to bring tho train home . The crowd , disappointed at the amusement 1 h » y had promised themselves , ot ! cupied themselves with pelting * o 1 s at the curs that passed up and down , ami pebbles at a small hotly of police who had formed to keep order . At first the mutte ? jiid not excite any serious apprehensions , but it was thought prudent to send for more police . Mr . Lindsay , who was present with the local town police , Artinp ; County Inspector Hill , constable Henderson ami -, i party of the constabulary , were soon joined by Mr . Armsi rong with about thirty men of tho local force . The arriv 1 of this party on the ground was marked by repeated grouping on the part of the mob , and renewed volleys of stones , by which many of the po'ice were very seriouly injured . Mr . Tracv . K . M .. who was
among the first at the scene of the disturbance , after several fruitless attempts , by remonstrating with the rii'teN , to induce , them to sepavnte , wiis struck hy a large stone on tho cheek , under tlie right eye , and cut severoly . His face and neck were immediately covered with blood . At this moment stones were flying in all directions Mr . Hill , while awaiting the directions of the magistrates present , Hoswt . Tracy anfl Stevenson , received a blow of a atone on the back of the head which stunned him . The Kiot Act was then read and the constabulary charged , when the crowd gave way , retiring up YurU-streoi , ana into Sliip-strcet Dock street , and the other avenues leading from the scene of U \ c occurrence . A messenger had been despatched at the commencement of the disturbance to the Bully , inacarrett station , and lleud-constablo M'Intyre , with his party from that station , immediately on receiving the ' intimation that they were required , procured cars , and had proceeded to the middle of Tork-street , when they were attacked with stains . The last car , on which constable . M'Eneely and LarWn were stated , was consider ably behind the others , and on them the crowd expended their en . tire ressntineni . Constable it'Eneely was knocked off the car on his back , and Constable Larkin shared a similar fate ; some of the crowd then set upon them , and kicked them in the ribs and breast , rendering the former almost insensible , and , had it not bean for tho
intervention ot sume men from Ballymacarrett , to whom the constables were known , the consequences might have been far more serious . These incn threw themselves among the assailants , and helped to keep off the blows aimed at the constables , Larkin escaped into a houBe , and M'Eneeiy was rescued by a party of eoiibtabnlary wiin came to his aid . He was helped into the house of Mr , M'Kenzie , in Abboteford place , not being able to walk without assistance . At this time the flinging of Btones was persevered in with as much ferority as lefore . Lieutenant Lloyd , of the eoast-fjunru , received a blow of a brickbat over the right c » c . which inflicted a very severe wonnn . Most of the constabulary , against whom the greatest animosity seemed to have been directed , were at this period bleudii g from wounds iu the face and head . The town police did net sufl ' cr so mut-h . A Grenadier company of the 46 th . under the command or Guptain Child , arrived , on the scene about nine o ' clock , amid-roans and a few stones , none of which did any injury . By the aid of the militatne
ry portion ot York street from the railway station up to Dock-street was cleared in a short time ; but stones continued to be thrown even after the crowd had been driven that distance ltiaclc About half-past nine o ' clock Lieutenant Colonel Gamut , K . C . B ., arrived tieco-. Jtpanied by Captain Piper , with tho Light Company of the 4 Ctli , and by the judicious posting of small detachments on the footways , and clearing the streets , order was partly restored Ihe town police had made about elevm p : isoners , and while escorting thiin to tlie police-office the crowd renewed their attacks with stems . Sergeant Baxter received a blow on the mouth from a lai ire brickbat , and it was apprelnnded tSiat a rescue was about btiu- ' made . A halt was obliged to be called on three several occas ' ons in York-street . : md the streets cleared , the trowd retreating on nil oc casions when a charge was made . Eventually the prismim were given in charge at the police-office , and at a hte hour the crowd g adually dispersed .

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF FEMALE DEPRAVITY -THE JET-BLACK BEOOAtt AND HIS LADYMahomet Abraham , a jet-blaek begsrar man , who is usually led through the streets by a browu dog-, and Eiizi ~ - — , aped twenty-three , the daughter of a gentleman wno resides in London , were brought beforo the Lord Mayor by Uenry Major , an officer of the Mendicity Society . The male prisoner is a peculiarly revolting object his head being covered with long matted hair , and the covering upon his limbs being tattored and filthy to an extreme lier-reo . Tbe woma > is a small-sized , pretty-faced one , presenting a remarkable contrast to tho wretched creature who accompanied and was cherished by her . The \
Moadictcy Officer said : At twenty minutes past eleven o clock I saw tho two pri < onors together in Bisbopsgate-streot . They had como from Ualifax-Btreet , where thoy live together , and tho girl "fastened a petition to the mans breast , and placed Mm and his dog near the Sir Paul Pindar pubiic-liouse , in an attitude of supplication As soon a 3 she had deposited him to her satisfaction against the wall , she retired from him . I soon saw him receive a penny , and I apprehended them both . The Lord Mayor . —Is it possible that those two persons have been living toeethoi- ?" The Mendicity Officer . —I have traced them to their very bed , and have been particularly informed of their habits . Captain Wood , of the Mendicity Society . —The case is certainly tho most extraordinary I have met with in all my experience , and discloses not on ' y a singular instance of perverted taste , but other peculiarities calculated to excite surprise and illustrate the bogging system . Perhaps the most explicit way of informing your Lordship of the circumstances of the easo is ' by reading a letter which I received from the young woman ' s father , who is present in the justice-room : — TO TIIE SECRETARV OF THE 5 IEXDICSTT SOCIETY , RED UON-SQUAKE . Dear Sir , —I be ^ to submit the following distressing case to vour sympathies , and to solicit from you the advice and assistance which I am led to understand ave kiudly afforded by your society in ex . traonlinary cases out of the pale of parental authority . By birth nntl education a gentleman , I married in tho year 18 i' 9 a lady in the sunc pheve uf society , by whom I had issuo two dauL'h ? ers ¦

At their decease , about seven ov eight years since , sho became an unwilling inm :: ta of her parents ' dwelling , from which sho contrived to get away wi . U a married man , ami was not heard nf ( having eluded the efforts of the police to trace her for many month
ther . Exertions ivere then successfully made to get her cured of a « omvlvwvtion of loathsome disorders » t St . Bartholomew s Hospital , whence , after being brought to a state of convalescence , and robbing somn of the nurses of small sums of money , she escaped , and again was lost sight of for many months when a gentleman , a friend of the family , saw her and gave her into custoilr of the police , who restored her once more to her afflicted parents . Her conduct from this period was infamous in tho extreme , and , on kev owning of age , she threw off all restraint and havinz a small house property in Devonshire , subject to her parents' ictcrest , but which was waved in her favour , she left us nor did we taw * of her whereabouts until about ten month s since ! I met liw m the streets of Whitcchapel . in the last stago of destitut . on , filth , and rags , singing ballads . My humanity once kc iin led me to speak with h » r , and to remonstrate , the result of which was that wo took her home , cleansed , clothed , and cared for her . a his lasted but a short time , and her recurrence to her former habitsagam precluded all knowledge respecting her until a few days since , we received a letter from our solicitor , saving that he had heard from our daughter , as the wife of a Mr .

The editor informed plaintiff that Ihe cottespon . dent had sent hi 3 letters b y the same express as the other papers , and so far that all was right- The plaintiff ta expressed his doubts as to the correspondent ' s absence from home , and added that he eboiild feel himself "' »•«> it such tuvued out not to have been the case . The eriitm
said he should write ta the correspondent upon the subject , and this the editor , in a few dnys subsequently , said ha had done , . and received a satisfactory reply . Dating this interview on ihe Sunday evetvingr , the 7 th of December , the editor asked the plaintiff his opinion as to the polio of the ' Advertiser' upon the coup d ' etat being in favour of Louis Napoleon , and plaintiff said that it was a wrong
policy , and would have to be changed to that of lie 1 Times' and other papers upon the subject . The editoi combated this opinion and they argued the question very warmly , and the result was that ihe editor had lo adopt that opinion in about a fortnight afterwards . —Mr .
