MR . OWEN AT BRADFORD . On Monday evening last , according to previous -aaawrocenient , Mr . Owen deliver ^ the Jirrt ^ r a 1 ! S « elrfth * £ Lecturem-fteOffl FeW HaJL "The andieflce was large ana consisted principally of the working class , with a feir spnnHmg : of the middle and some of the upper classes . The Lectnre -was delivered in about fiftyminntes . The mostpro-^ found attention waa given byr the audience to the whole of the Lectnre , and during the discussion --srinch succeeded and which occupied more than an Jena the best spirit was manifested . Nothing , indeed , ban be more conclusive of the advanced spirit - « f the age than the manner in which the most as-¦ tDTmdmg propositions -were received and discussed
-iy b large miscellaneous assemblage . 3 iri Owes began with observing that the . lask on "wMch he was about to enter was of the most important description . He . had to explain to them in three short Lectures that which , the whole world had been engaged for thousands of years in finding ontj and hadyet to learn , ' namely , the true nature of ' man and of society . He would first show them what was the state of society in these conntries . Mr . Owes then exhibited a number of cubes the laigestof which expressed the-whqle number of the population of the British Islands . This population was dividedinto eight classes , the respective j > roportions of which to the whole number were similarly -represented . These together formed * the social
pyramid , the working classes being at the bottom and -the Sovereign and the other members of the Royal Family , with the House of Lords forming the apex . The first division , consisting of the working classes , were the largest in number . This class produced all the wealth possessed by society , and supported all fhe other classes . The third fn point of size was ¦ the inferior class of distributors and comprised all "the small shopkeepers . The third class , which was the second in point of size , consisted of what were -denominated the thieves , rogues , " and vagabonds ; these the working classes had to support downward The workings of thepresent system of society were strongly marked by the fact of this being so large a class . The fourth division was a numerous class ; itwas composed of bankers , merchants , and others of the highest order of distributors . The fifth and
next numerous class included , besides the dignified clergy tinder the rank of bishops , all fee most fortunate of the last mentioned class , the Rothschilds , and the Barings , the highest order of physicians and merchants . The last class but one included all -the lower nobility , namely , the Baronets and the Country Gentlemen . The class which was the smallest in number , and which before the passing of the Reform Bfll ^ nad the power to make arrangements which would hate effectually prevented all the -divisioH . and miserv , and poverty , and even the fears ' of joverrv which now existed among us , was composed of the Royal Family and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal . " There w " as another class which'he had omitted to mention which-represented the plundering and murdering power' of society , and Sat was the army and navy .
It was utterly impossible to create a classification of society more injurious to every individual composing it than this one . The interest of everyone * rf these" -classes was opposed to the interests of all ihe other classes and every individual composing -diem , without a single exception , was injured to an extent of which itwas scarcely possible to conceive . All this was the result of fundamental error . Men had been taught , that they had the power within themselves of willing to believe or not believe as they thought proper , and that such will was an original fe " culiy of the mind . This was opposed to all known facts , and must therefore be destroyed , and the great truth that man was everywhere the . creature of the circumstances which surround him .
united with his organization , from birth to death , be substituted as the basis of society . Without aknowledse of this fact , it was as impossible for them to have a correct knowledge of the true nature of man and of society as it would have been thatUiey could have a correct knowledge of astrononiy without the discoverv made by Galileo , that the earth moved round the son , and not the . sun round tie earth . Society could never be composed , of more than four simple divisions , namely , producers , distributors , formers of character , and governors . Novr arrangements -would be made in the INew Moral World , upon wMch they were abont to enter , for doing all tTii * in the best possible manner , and to the eaual and greatest advantage of everv ihdividnaL
Such were the benefits that would Tesnlt from a simple and natural classification of society that with one per cent , of the productive energies now employed , a far greater amount of . wealth would Le proiiuced ; with , one per cent , of die present cost of distribution that wealth would be _ equitably distr ibuted ; with , one thousandth part of the wealth now expended in the formation of character , a far superior chancier to any whicb ^ bad ever yet existed would be formed for every individual without chance of failure in a single instance , whilst with one millionth part of the wealth now squandered by the Government that business would * be carried on in a more simple and more comprehensive manner , and the highest state
of security and well bemgsecured to every individual The present classification of society would , therefore , not exist in the new moral world ; but it was not intended that any one of thes ^ classes should be injured during the ^ progress of the change—indeed a fax better condition would be prepared for each than any now enjoyed by those the furthest removed from want and pain . yo * < hopkeepers , merchants , bankers , clergy , lawyers , or medical men , would then be required . No one would then be a mere anything , but to every one would be given the fall character of 7 T ) Tyn or woman . This great change conld not now be deferred ; a mighry reroludon , the full extent of the consequences of which no man could conceive -o £ -was inevitable . He had but recently returned
from a sojourn of some months upon the Continent of Europe , and he would tell them that he saw more wretchedness in three days after his return to London , than he had seen during the more months which be had been upon the Continent . And why had he visited the most despotic Governments r " To learn whether they were prepared to oppose a great truth , ( alluding to the ' new fundamental principle of " society ) which was supported by all known facts , and his t&ecf , he was glad to sat / , had been fully obtained . He had developed his view * to them to the fullest extend-more fully than be had as yet declared them to thepublie here . ^* hen he had described to Pnnce 3 Iefternich . the Austrian Prime iKnister ,
who was the soul of Euxopeanpolicy , the nature and ¦ extent of the evils which afflicted the world , the Pr ince had astonished him by expressing his assent to all he had said . Upon his inquiring the means of reading these evils , and learning from Mr . Owen thaBhe had come prepared to give the fullest proofs ¦ of rBfe practicability . of such removal , he eagerly requested to be put in possession of them ; and Ms secretaries were employed for three weeks making Extracts from his ( Sir . O . V ) docnments . Mr . 0 . then stated it to be Ms intention shortly to publish a detaflpd account of his proceedings whilst on the Continent , and concluded by inviting the audience to a discussion of the subjects of the lecture .
Several individuals then advanced various objeclions to 3 Ir . Owen ' s views , or put questions to elicit further information , to all of which Mr . O . replied with that temper and mildness for which he is so remarkable ; -while on the other hand , the opposite nature of the objections and questions , and the manner in which they were put , were alike creditable to the parties putting them- The meeting broke up shortly after ten o ' clock .
THE FESTIVAL . On the following evening , ( Tuesday ) a Festival took place in the same splendid room , which affords , from the numbers attending it , notwithstanding the very -unfavourable state of the weather , not . only from the town itself ^ and the immediate neigbbouriood , but from places at a considerable distance , a pretty accurate criterion of judging of the extenrto which the Socialists have succeeded in interesting the public in their proceedings . The room was neatly ornamented with evergreens and artificial flower * , and a tolerably efficient orchestra was in attendance . Upwards of 500 tickets had been issued , but the great influx of persons from distant places swelled the number in the room during ihe evening ,
~ to at least 650 person ? . The Festival had been got up . by ,-and the whole arrangements were , under the conduct of working men , unaided by the various mpans and appliances possessed by those who" have hitherto been die only originators and conductors of -whatever public festivities that class of society have yet been admitted to . Great , good order , and decorum was manifested throughout the evening Mr . J . _ Docthwaite presided over the festivities Immediately after tea , the whole assembly joined in saj | ong a social hymn , at the conclusion of which , Mr . Owex briefly addressed the gnests to the following effect : —He was glad to see them , endeavouring . 4 j > be happy . - They ought to have frequent opportanities of seeing and conversing with each other , and of learning die true means and . end of . lifel Nothing could give them this knowled ge but . tbe ^ Social S , ystem ,. nor conld they by any other means , attain oerfect hatramess . He advised them ,
therefere , to become members of ihe Association , a -branch of which existed in the ~ town . After some -other remarks of this nature , Mr . Owen observed "that he had long been , of opinion that from the aatare of its eo 3 , the character of its inhabitants , ii » position , and other consderatioBS , that Yorkshire was the mogt eligible spot for the establishment of a first Conununity . It seemed now most likely that in the / xmrse of the presentyear , some attempt of that kind would be made . They had among " them sufficient means for the establishment of many Communities in the immediate ndghbooiJiood j and he trusted the time was close at hand when many ¦ snen ejjtabEshments -would beSpread over the face « f tiie eountiy . * ' ^ HSS ^ ?^ . ** evening , Mr .

Admirably avoiding all solemn declamation and heavy reasoning , he descanted , in a humorous and laugh tt » r-proyokin £ 8 tjrle ,. pn . the true philosophyof life , fie commenced by observing , that short accounts made long friends , andhe believed that upon this occasion short speeches would be equally efficacious for that purpose . The venerable founder oT the social system nad just told them that the best mode of promoting their individual happiness was to promote the happiness of all around them . This advice he begged to repeat . It had been too much their practice to dwell on the had points of each others character . They had been constantly tanght to regard every one as a rogue , until they were proved honest ; he would advise them to reverse this prac
tice , and to consider every one honest until they found him dishonest , ana then endeavour to make him honest again as quickly as possible . The result of this practice would be orerflowingharmony . They would gain a great deal more by kindness than they could possibly gainby a contrary course . The Tunkers , a sect in America , returned all native injuries by acts of benevolence to the offenders , and it was the testimony of onp of these Tunkers given to Mis . * Martineau mat they received less wrong from others than did the rest of mankind . Kow , he would advise them to adopt the Tunker principle . They had been taught to look forward to a heaven a lonsr way off for a requital of the sufferings and privations which they endured . He did not like
those long accounts , and thought that their bills of happiness ought to be paid at sight . Such , in fact , might be the case , if they would but adopt the social system . Then , instead of having a festival only once in six months a few hours long , they would have 365 every year . The social system would do much for the men , but it would do much more for the women , who were now the slaves and drudges of society . There would be an utter absence of those discomforts and annoyances which necessarily belong to a system of individual family arrangements . There would then be no inducements to marriages opposed to the affections . Love was now frequently sacrificed to prudential considerations ; and Jack with 24 s . a-week was preferred to Tom
with 12 , not because Jack was liked better than Tom , but because poverty was so unpleasant a honse mate , and to avoid the trouble of having , on Saturday nights , to make the pennies ran twopenny errands . He understood that the temperance felkshad met that evening for the purpose ofputting down all intemperance , and that a Bishop was among them . Kow he would tell them bow the socialists intended to put down intemperance ; they proposed to meet together frequently , as they were doing that evening , to enjoy the pleasure of talking and laughing , and dancing with each other , and the music and laughing and dancing and chattering
would , he was sure , quite drive all thoughts of dranfc enness on t of their heads . Mr . F ., during Ms speech , of which the above is but a meagre on tune , related many humorous anecdotes , and illustrated his views in the mostpleasantmanner . He concluded by inviting them to resume the evening ' s festivities , and to continue the practice of kindness to each other , which only could produce them happiness . The _ amusements were then recommenced . The evening thus agreeably varied with speech , and dance , and fong . passed swiftly on , and by twelve o ' clock the music was hnslied , Yhe light tripping o ( the dancer ' s feet had ceased , and soon after the last of tbe well-pleased gnests had left the-hall .

OPENDnG OF THE 3 $ IADFOB . D TEMPERANCE HALL , AT BRADFOKD . A most splendid Hall has been erected in Bradford , by the members e-f the Temperance Society , for the purpose of holding their frequentlyrecurring public meetings , tea-parties , Sec . The situation of the Hall is a few yards from the Leeds Eoai , immediately opposite to Eastbrook Chapel The external appearance is extremely neat and substantial-looking— the interior neat likewise , but combining with it elegance and conunodiousnes ; -- . Leaving out the question the object for which it has been built , the Temperance Hall is no mean accession to the ornamental and useful buildings in that town . The Hall was publicly opened , and consecrated to its express obiect , on Tuesday last , with sreat
eclat , tbe Bishop of Ripon giving the sanction of his name and influence to the cerentony . Five public services in connexion writh this event have been bolden during tbe past week . At tbe Public Tea Parry' on Tuesday evening , nearly a thousand persons assembled to partake of tbe cup that cheers and not inebriates , ' and to listen to the eloquent appeals of many well-known advocates of Temperance . The Hall is expressly adapted for occasions such as this . Tables a . ud forms sufficient to cover the area are provided , and the gallery is so arranged , that even there every person may have his cup and
saucers , bread and butter , &e . placed before him . The size of the Hall is 16 yards by 12 , exclusive of the Committee Room S yards by 6 " , which is thrown open to the body by folding doors , on ' state occasions , " and of course such was the case on Tuesday . On that evening nine tables went across the floor , and one the whole length ; four tables stood in the Committee Room . These tables were computed to hold more than 500 persons , and as they -were all fullj we presume that number at least . was there . The Gallery will accommodate 400 , and that likewise " was full .
NVhen the company had assembled , the appearance of the HalJ was extremely brilliant . Festoons-of evergreens and artificial flower ? were carried all round the room immediately beneath the coruJce of the ceiling—the pillars nere likewise decorated , and the windows boarded , in the same tasteful msnner . The chair , placed on the permanent platform , wus a handsome crimson one , immediately " . over it was a canopy of evergreens and flowers , and on the sill of the window above , artificial CTange trees bearing fruit . On each side of this window rhe arm .- ; of the
bociety were printed on canvass boaTds , ar : d surrounded by the following inscription—* ' Temperance " Societies are designed by the blessing of . God to " prevent temperate persons from the clanger of In" temperance—to reclaim dnfnkards , and put Hwn li drankeness . The means which they \ i ? e ure , " members pledging to abstain from all intoxicating " drinks—persuading others to follow their example , " and by holding public meetings / ' But by far rhe most delightful part of tbe scene was tbe inultitnde of happy and intelligent faces assembled around the amply loaded boards—a sight tt > make tbe he"t of the philanthropist leap for joy , and ( if any such were there ) to cause the misanthrope to abhor Ms selfishness and to re-kindle the social charities within his bosom . Trays were provided and presided over by the following ladies and gentlemen : —
Mrs . Beanraont and Mr . " . Morgan on the platform . Mr . Ball , Mr . " Cole , Miss Caton , Miss Miltborp , Mrs . "W . Million , jun ., Miss Co : ius , Mrs . Taylor , Mrs . Baines , Mrs . . T .

consecrated that Hall to the promotion ot God ' s honour and the welfare of the human race . He then pointed out the various ways in which intemperance had be « n the curse of society ; it was so , whether viewed a » a domestic or social , a cinl or religious evil ; whether they considered its effects on the tenaporal , spiritnal , or eternal interests of man . The Rev . Mr . Barber seconded the resolution in a neat address , interspersed with several interesting and striking anecdotes , in which he pointed out the religious bearing of the Temperance Society ; he considered it a most important handmaid of religion . , ¦ .. / ¦ - ¦ " - .

Owing to tbe very bad weather on Wednesday , which absolutely precluded many from leaving their houses , the attendance at the public meeting in the afternoon was rather thin .

ACCIDKNT ON THE ¦ 'MANCHESTER AND LEEDS ¦ Railwav . —rOn Monday week , a number of men wnp ' loyed- 'on the rdiiway near Rochdale , were removing some earth , when a large portion fell upon One of them , and broke his leg and thigh in a shocking manner . He was removed to the M anchester Infirmavy the saine day . We : did not hear his name .
„ . '¦ - ¦ ¦ ItEEDS . ¦ " . ,, ' Breakino a Coxtragt . —On Saturday last , Mr . Smith appeared before the Magistrates , oh behalf of Messrs . Bingley , Parkin , and Co ., ironfouridero , of this town , charging Mr . creorge Guttler with breaking his contract to serve theni , and also with inducing an apprentice to leave their service . It appeared that in October la >< t , an engagement had been entered into between these parties , to the effect that Guttler should serve Bingley and Co . as foreman of that establishment . The agreement was said to have been drawn up on > the Sunday , and signed on the same day . . The bargain was that Guttler should servethe " Cbmpany for 30 js . per week for the first fortnight , after which he was to be paid
by the piece . The conditions of the agreement not being satis- 'factorily complied with , some unpleasant ness arose , and Cutler left their service . He had been absent some months ^ when he ; prevailed upon one of their apprentices also to leave them . This gave rise to the prosecution . Guttler had . been working for sonic person at Bradford , and he . stated that his reason for quitting the service of Bingley aTid Co . w ; is , that / -they only paid him 30 s , per week , whereas he could earn more than £ 3 . The case was dismissed , in consequence , of tjie party' not prosecuting earlier , as that implied their consent to Cuttler ' s'leaving them . The case of the apprentice was als-p dismissed , in consequence of their not having the . indenture drawn up upon a Stamp .

Lejeds Cloth Maeksts , Tuesday , Feb . 2 ? . — Trade has not been < Juite m brifik as itwas during the last two market days , owing : to the very bad weather ; w ; & have had lately ; . ;; there were ^ fewer both ityers and sellera atthe iharket . ¦ '• ¦; I > eeds Co&n Mji ^ ket , Tuesday , F ^ e b . 27 > - The last few days we have had the appearance of a thaw , but yesterday we had a good deal of saow , with frost again . Our navigation ia : yet ; partially open , and we have had several arrivals from the
inland shipping places , since this day week , but no arrivals yet coastwise . There has been a fair demand for all grain that is at riiarket , and late prices are maintained for most articles .

' Bradford -EiEiDE MARKET .- ^—The general opinion appears to be that the amount of gpods disposed of to-day is very similar to last market day ; The manufacturers reiriark that sales might vbe " effected to a considerable extent , if remunerating prices w # re offered by buyers , the obstacle to * sales being that purchasers are at present indisposed to give ari-adequate advance . Bradford Wool Market ^ March li—There is very little dernand this week for Cppbing or Clothing Wools . The high prices to which- they have now attained is the chief cause . Staplers remain firm . : ' ¦ ¦ ¦ : ' . "
Yaiin : Market .: —Business- in this market coritinues pretty much the same as recently reported : Manufacturers are perhapsjinore reluctant urpur ^ chasing for stock , hoping from the present aspect of the weather that tlie channels for transporting-the Raw Material will soon be open , and the expected influx of Wool into the iriarket will induce Spinners to submit to lower prices . Dewsbury Cloth Hall , Feb . 26 . — On Monday , the market for blankets was very dull the few goods disposed of maintained last week ' s prices , ' but no ; orders were given out . The complaints are against the wool market being so much above the price of the manufactured goods . . ' , ' . .
Halifax ;—Very little doing isi tbe'market today ; no doubt to be jattributed , in a great measure , to tbe remarkable inclemency of the ¦ weather . Rochdale Flannel Market , Monday , Feb . 2 b ' . —There has been more business done in the market to-day than on the previous Monday , and the demand for Flannels , of the coarser kind , has been brisk ; but there i * no improvement in prices ; indeed , it is said , that in some cases less money has been given . —The Wool market here still continues flat ; . and there appears no desire , on the part of the manufacturers , to purchase at the nreserit nrices .
