As there werentanyMends ait > und Him who wwid express their- sentiments on the subject on wfcich they were" assembled to speakvhe would not ^ detain them further than by stato | -that : he would do his best to obtain for all parties an impartial bearing , and he trusted-that ihe meeting would not be in vain , but that it would be attended with many good results to the town and its neighbourhood . ( Loud cheers . ) The Rev . G . S . Boit was then introduced to the meeriny , and received with loud cheers . He said the

      first duty he had to perform was to read three letters which he had that afternoon received from gentlemen - ¦ who'h&d been invited to attend the meeting . The first was from Lord Ashley , the second from Mr . ilelden , and the third from Lord Morpeth . Lord _ Ashley strongly recommended the inhabitants of l ^ dsahlBraiffiird to gjrethe quesfion their serious eonaderation ,, and to think whether or not they could ao ^ propose- some amendment to the protective clauses of the present bilL Mr . Fielden inhis letter * aid tie proposed bill was a novel one , and he could not understand it j ' there was no . preamble to ir , andno reason assigned for the proposed alterations of the law .. Secondly , ^ t repeals the former Factory Act , the boasted fdncational clauses , and all , and makes

      T » r \ i- » T-.-iCToif \ T * frxr i \\ a oA-ncni ^ nr . AViin / vf vrvnT * c /* nilnT i » r » no provision for th e education even of young children . Thirdly , had the object of this bill been to secure a better observance of the " provisions of the Factory Act , the penalties would have been heavier , the necessity lor which was obvious frpm the convictions which werp ' aafly taking place tinder the present . act . Fourthly , raeliability to informations seems to ^ be intended to be removed from the masters to the servants whTih'Tie lEhoughtwas unjust ; and in con--dnsion he was satisfied that a Ten Hours' Bill would « nsure more protection to the children and be more satisfactory to all parties than the proposed bill . -Lord Mokpetr in Ms letter said , he regretted his * m niofoppbrhmiti / to enter at present intothis suljecU cs he observedlhal various propositions would be brought

      Lefure lite Legislature ^ and he should wish to reserce Jot unfettered discretion to judge if their respective saaiis at tie-font they might be proposed . Mr . Bull « tated thathebadTeceived auote from , a friend at Hifif-ix , who represented to him , on good authority , that the bill now proposed was merely a feeler ~ io try how the country felt- . A resolution had been put into / his hand which he then read . . "¦ This resolution required him to « xplain to the meeting the character of the bfll now brought forward as sl substitute for the present factory act . He had no doubt that Doth masters and men , parents aud cbilfcn , would like a better " act than the present . ( Hear , hear . ) But if the present act was lncbnveaaientto any bodv . letthe framers of it be blamed

      -and not the ten h'Hirs' men . Before he entered upon fhegabject with a view to pointing out the character ¦ of the bill now proposed , he perhaps might be allowed to . say ; that if they were to agitate mis question again it was not the ten hours' men that had begun the agitation . They-were all quite still . -They bad been told that : the present act worked veil : and they were really impressed with the conlictibn thai so long , as the" eight iours' clauses remained in it , it would wori well towards the teu iours' bill , and therefore they felt no alarm about sa eventual tenliours' bill so long as the eight hours ' jclausesremained in the present act ( hear , hear ) At the same time ., however , they would waich with so little jealousy all those nibbhnss at the act which

      seems to progress nearer and nearer towards a repeal -of &e eight 'honis' clauses . " They were quite willing to have a uniform measure , such a one as tWy had . always p leaded lor ; but it was t&o bad that the ten tones' mil shonld ever Be blamed fiw the inconveni ences of this ace which . the short -time committee aud their Mends had opposed'to-the- utmost of their power . But perhaps Tie might be . allowed to enter a Stfleinto the history of this" question . This quessldnl then , was . first brought Before" the legislature iy Sir Robert Peei , the fether of the present baroneL He would for the information of those who "had not Attended to the subject state the feel that" it was Sir Robert Peel who : first bronght ^ aiiy Hll before Par-MameDl Xaregulate fAetoriesin i > n * kingdom . The

      first attempt was made xn reference to the apprentues . . Most of the chuien yrho were first sent to the . mills , were workhouse children called apprentices , sifter the fashion oi the negro apprentices of the West In'diw , i . e . to work hard , to hve scantily and "be wefl flogged . for their pains- ( hear , hear ) .- Such was theJtn&tment the apprentices received , doubtless « itb some honourable exceptions . Sir Robert Feel brought in _ a , b 31 . to protect the apprentices : many of his opponent * jeered ^» t »> for the ¦ interest he took in their welfare , and . told him be should have begun sooner" before he got so much money by his aopientiees . ( Hear . ) He replied that

      it was better todo goodlate than Bever —( hear;)—a T > iVthtvt hs wbs " . detennined . to £ adeaxour-to protect the factory children , . He then brought in another Bill to protect ibthei ^ chiHlren , whether" apprentices or not ; for the . peopfe connected with-the London workbaufle ) and tue workhouses of -other ^ places , gTew tired of sending their children far the mills , they died jso Jast ; and in consequence-of machinery « npp 1 qpfi ^> gl ^ tiTp » T ^ Iff ^ vwrf j and .

" If , however * ae was like them , and did not understand the question , he would imitate Job and say , ' ! will search it out . " He concluded by moving the resolution , and vras heartilv cheered .

      Mr . Joseph Brooke seconded the resolution . He said lie appeared before the meeting , as a humb ? e operatiTe , who did not obtain his living by speechmaking , but by bard labour . ( Hear , hear . ) The question before the meeting was one to which he had bestowed some attention ; but he mast be allowed to say that the more he knew of the factory - -ystem , the more he . detested- it . The iron hand of oppression bad made him submit to that which he could not otherwise designate than as hateful . He had been obliged te send some of his children to the factory . This he deeply regretted on a variety of accounts ; but particularly because of the immoral lessons they were taught , and of the evil principles they imbibed . Another great objection was that they were virtually excluded from all opportunity of education for when child bad been

      obtaining any 5 a working twelve hours , he was wholly unfit f 6 r all mental exercises . The only opportunity worth naming was the Sabbath School ; and that was comparatively nothing , for with excessive labour during the week , children were irequeiitly too wearied to enjoy the advantages of that day of rest . He had felt the keenest anguish when he had been obliged to see his children dragged from their beds at five o ' clock in the morning , to go and labour so long and so hard for a little bread . He thought eight hours per day was quite sufficient for any man or child to work . Were there any there who thought differently r All he could say was , let them go and try it , with the same food and wages , < fcc , and he thought they would not be long in changing their opini on . ( H ear , hear . ) It was his firm conviction that a Ten Hours '

      matnaiJy benencial botn to and men . After a few other observations , the speaker seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Charles Walker moved the next resolution . He had no personal miiity to gratify , but rather a dimdence to overcome , in occupying so prominent a situation ; but he had been impressed with the conviction that it wax the imperative duty of every one connected with manufacture to assist m ameliorating the condition of the factor ? children . There was no

      class 01 men engaged in either manufacturing or agricultural operations who are regularly subject to so long a continuance of trial as Factory children ' Thirteen hours and a half , with short intermissions for meals were these tender branches of our speciVs compelled , in the best regulated Factories , when wort was plentiful , to labour every day . The pursuance of such a system was disgraceful to the national character . A diminution of the time of dairy labour was regarded by some as a sacrifice of profit ; while it was a fact that many Factories were now running eight or ten hours daily instead of twelve , t o avoid the loss which would arise from a larger period . To calculate the gains of fourteen or fifteen , { vows labour instead of twelve , was about the same thing as to calculate the loss to the country from making the Sabbath a day of resti

      boma years ago , the great alarm bell of the oppo-8 era of the Ten Hours' Bill , was that the wages of the operative would be reduced by arednction m the hours ; of labour-time ; however experience had shewn that instead of falling they had risen , arid instead cf hundreds being out of work , Factory workers had become scarce since the pasting of the present measure for leatricting the hours of labour to the maximum of twelve hours . It was said by some of the smaller manufacturers that it would tend to injure their interests while it advanced that of large capitalists , ' while the majority of extensive manufacturers opposed it because it would deprive capital of its fair advantage and ascendancy . Now if fairly looked at * the effect of the measure would be just this : all proprietors of factories would be brought to act upon one system—no petty mean advantage could be obtained by one at the unjust expense of another , in

      reierence to ine age 01 cmiuren , ai me of " their dailv labour , but the Brand aoi

      of legitimate ascendancy would be based upon ' knowledge , " integrity ; and industry . Such an arrangement would tend to promote the . interests of all classes engaged in manufacturing pu " r-Rmts . But the great gun of the opposing party , the loud roaring of which most seriously ' aftected the fears ' of the nervous was ** Foreign competition . " Hundreds would . concede , that , as a measure of humanity and justicr , they would be glad t o see the Ten Hours 5 Bill adopted , but the fear of this country being supplanted aud destroyed jn her commercial capacity preclude ? th ' , according to , their own avermeats , from encouraging ? anch a measure . He might dispose of this objection , on the honest principle that that . which is cruel and unjust , ought t o be abandoned at once without delay or regard to consequences : but he would meet the argument on its

      own terms of mere finance . It must . be recollected that our foreign tirade is altogether a system of exchange . If we export our produce , we import to an equal supposed value , the produce of the foreigner . Butj-it is rejoined i ** : ' ^ he for eigner may take our goldibr Ms produce , ' and refuse our manufactnre . " Gcsntedjand then our manufacture must be exported , to ' press the gold home again . ( Applause . ); The plain-and simple fact is , that other nations are equally interested with ourselves , in exchanging their' surplus cotnmodltieg , afad that importations fromforeign climed must be paid for by the industry of this nation . It maybe objected , tbar if the Ten Hour * Bill were adopted and the same wages paid as now , the cost of manufacturers would be increased , and we could not gtre the foreigner so many pound * jof . yamjOrpices . of ^ 6 ffias" he now receives for a given quantum of his . merchandise .

But th&y ( the meeting ) were operatives , and were ground-down almost to ihe last State of animal existence . ( Hear , hear . ) He was glad ihe friend * who hiid convened that meeting had laid aside the idea of

      petitioning and had adopted : the more rational course of remonstrance . He maintained they had a righfc to reihonstrate whenever they suffered an evil m consequence of an Act of Parliament ; Hear , hear . ) Mr . tJosuey then adverted to the New Factory Bill and complained bitterly of the want i > f a preamble to it . " He said hadit been a bill for the protection of the rich instead of the oppression of the poor , it would not have been without a preamble , but the most ample means would have been furnished whereby to comprehend its meaning . ( Hear , hear . ) This , however , was nothing more than a bill to prevent the poor from beiug educated . He described the bill as being a tyrannical measure which was highly calculated to irritate the feelings ,

      and to be productive of serious consequences , ne entered at considerable length into the general question of the factory system and shewed its workings in the fearful ravages it had made . He showed the importance of having an entire change , such a change as the Ten Hours' Bill proposes to effect ; and then-the operatives might perhaps be paid to have some little protection . He adverted , in concluding , to the practise of some few parentsof living on thelabour of their children , while they were iinmured in these nulls , and condemned the practice in the strongest terms , in which he was wannly and enthusiai'tically supported by the audience . Mr . CptTHtrnsTKeconded the resolution . The Rev . W . Hill having been observed on the

      platform , was here loudly called for by the mee . tiug ^ He came forward to the tront , and was received with cheers . After the cheering had subsided Mr . H . proceeded to addcess the meeting . He gave his lriends credit for having r known him long enough and well enough to be aware that . where .. ' sufferiag humanity , and especially in this , its most helpless and defenceless form , was the subject of consideration , he did not gerieially feel disposed to be a mere passive auditor ; and ' hence he attribnted the kindly feeling they displayed towards him , to recollections ofnot distant days when in this and other holy causes of bene ^ ence , ' of justice , and of mercy ^ he had fought , long and often , 'front and rear , and side by side , ' with many , both of those whonow surrounded

      lim , and of those he had the happiness to see before him , in the battles of the weak against the strong ; And though be ^ might no t now be a resident of Bradford , he yetiGlaimed the right of fellowship aud brotherhood with his compeers in this holy warfare , and so long as it might be their opinion that the uplifting et his voice or his arm , could be of service to the cause of suffering infancy , he hoped never to be accounted by them as a' stranger . Indeed that was a title which he disowned in any place . The world was his country , and every man his brother . He had been grieved and gratified beyond all possibility of expression while sitting upon that platfontt j and during the proceedings of the meeting ; grieved , sorely erievea , that human nature should be made to

      bear the stigma , that now , in the 19 th century , after men had been taughtto do justice , and to lovemercy , there shonld be creatures bearing the form of men and arrogating to . themselves the names of Christians , whose callous hearts would : prompt them to auiass riches at the price of sacrificing , without pity or remorse , the social comforts , the domestic joys , the intellectual delights , the religious hopes , the present happiness and eternal welfare of unnumbered myriads of their fellow-men . Wan he accused of violating Christian charity , in fulminating charges of a nature such as this against any of his ? ( ellow-men ? Was he reminded , as hufnend and bi other hod been reminded , that the accuser of his brethren » t » nU come preuare < l _ witn propta ; tnat ne should

      ascertain whether or no . his charges were well . founded before making them ? He admitted the position to be just j and grieved he was to find that , damning proofe had been . afforded by the conductof the money getters in this controversy—proofs which admitted of no question , and which no sophistry could gainsay or refute . Had they not held with , villain graap their hold on restricted . labour ( ill they could itojd no longer ? Did not the crippled limbs of maimed victims , the . mangled corpses of murdered bnes-r-the pale countenance of gradual decline ^ the hectic flash , th » t . told consumption ' s deathlike story —did not all .

      The Life « % nd Adventures of NICHOLAS NICKLEBY . No . 2 . Edited by Boz , vrith illustrations by JPhiz . This work still preserves the interest excited by the last number . —In the present part , young Nicholas is brought : on his journey from London to the hovel of the rascally schoolmaster , alias Dothebpys Hall . An upset of the coach on the road , affords an opportunity of introducing two little episodes by way of stories told by the passengers , to enliven the time while waiting for a new coach . In these stories , considerable versatility of talent is manifested in the way of graphic delineations of character . We select the following extract ,, rather because it is short than because we esteem it as better than any other part : for when the whole is so , selection is difficult .

      "f have herei"tp note anomertraijt of incorrect matinefs , namely , a long story . ¦ StLchis ' the qnantuim of matter stirring in London that Lbrfdon' will not endure it . Sir 'Andrew Narrative told one lately at &'house dinnervat the ^ ftejisenm with : ' very \ g 09 d eiffect . It was fo the following purport or -enect : ^—A decent yoiirig- woman entered a Paddingtbn omniT bad with an'inrant in her arms , of whom the other passengefs admired the beauty . -Sir Andrew and the young wwnan , when the vehicle arrived in Skinner Street , were the only parties left in the carriage . ? Will you have the goodness , r sir , ' said the damsel , ' just to hold this child while I step into ; that shop r ' ' Certainly , ' answered Sir Andrew . The living

      burden was accordingly deposited , and away went the proprietor of iti A few minutes ela ^ sed-f she retiirned not . The cad banged to the door ,- ejaculating ' ¦ Allright , ' and-the omnibus proceeded onite journey carrying Sir Andrew in the situation of Don J ohn in the Chances . When the driver arrived at -the corner of Ironmonger Lane , a grave , elderly gen tleman was taken up , who , in his turn , expressed his admiration of the infant ' s beauty . 'Will you b . ave the" goodess , sir , to hold this child for qneViniirute ?* said sir Andrewj in his-turn , beckoning'the _ cad to stop at Bow Church . 'By all me ' ans , sir , ' answered , the elderly genrleman . Hereupon Sir Andrew bounded from the carriage , paid the cad his sixpence , and ran

      down Friday street like the innkeeper , in Joseph Andrews , ' without any fear of breaking' his neck , ' Dick Duplicate was so pleased with ,. ; his story , that he determined to tell it at a dinner of Americans who were going afterwards to Madame Vestrisls theatre to see Pu » s in Boots . Here Mr .- Duplicate was terribly out in his reckoning for the three-following ' ' reasons : —1 st . Americans eat with rail-road velocity ; 2 d . They never laugh at a joke ; and 3 d . Being engaged to go to the theatre ^ they must see every thing in order to obtain their mone y ' s worth . The consequence was that Dick was left to tell the conclusion of his story to two empty decanters . The poor fellow came to me for consolation . ' Never

      mind , Dick , said I , ' you are going next Wednesday to York , to visit your two maiden aunts . York is dull and distant , and your aunts have no . occupation but a poodle dog . Tell them the story : arnplify it ad libitum ;—you may enlarge upon the '¦ u tility- of omnibuses , speculate upon the ; coriditibn > in lite of the young woman , and the probable motive of her ttius getting rid of her charge . Talk of Skinner Street . Say you remember , when a boy , its nonexistence , and its circuitouspredecessorjSnow Hill : and after mentioning Bow Church , talk of the dragon on the top of its steeple , with a suitable allusion to Sir Thomas Gresham's grasshopper . All this will be good manners _ at York ; for , depend upon it , your maiden aunts will stand all this and a great deal more if you are in the humour to utter if . "
