His 15 fe was for some time despaired of , but hopes are now entertained of kii recovery . . B 04 . B . D o ? Gtj i . B . DiASS . —At the Court of Bequest , in this town , the weekly meeting of tie above Board took p lace on Friday last , when twelve of the elected guardians , and three of the x oStciot were present , namely , Messrs .- "Waterhens * , Pollard , and Kalpb . A . Power , the assistant poor Jaw commissioner , vzs present . J .
" Waterbon * e , E « q . chairman of the Board , presided , and after tbe usual preliminary business was gone through of reading over notices of marriages , &c . Mr . Cfcad » k-k ' s valuation of Eishworth township wasprr » nred to tbe Board . Mr . Xittle presented » va : uation by Joseph "Wilson , of various articles in the town ' s workhouse , such as wooden bedsteads , lie ., upon whic-b a conversation arose respecting them , and iron bedsteads got tbe preference in lieu f tense antique ones so generally in use ; the old fashioned ware will of course , have to be disposed fin tbe best way they tan adopt . Messrs . Ralph , Baxter , and Little , are appointed to inspect the thrte workhouses belonging to the union , "with power to reserve any article that might be of use , and Mr . Jam ^ s ^ Tikon is to take a valuation of ths
furniture in each workhouse ; the overseers of such townships as have workhouses are to dispose of their old furniture , aisd should any dispute arise as to tbe utility of any particular article in tbe three ¦ workbonse * , the matter in dispute is to be brought keforn the board , and thus decided . Messrs . B . Hartley and Lister waited as a deputation from the quarterly board of tbe infirmary , to ascertain irbetbtrr ti-e board of guardians vonld conceive it proper to comply with their rules , 64 and 65 , relating to tbe support which would be demanded from from tbe board , on a patient , who was chargeable to the town , Wing admitted into the infirmary . Mr . B ., Hartley stated that they bad two patients in tbe
infirnnry , one from Elland and tbe oiher from U- . riand , who were chargeable to their townships , the person from Wbnd had been in ten weeks , and ihr other from Nnrland was admitted the previous week . After some discussion it was decided that tie rules were satisfactory to the board , Mr . Power observing that tbry ought to avail themselves of the infirmary according to tbe rules , but that each case that was admitted ought to be reported to the next mi i-ting of the board . Tbe memorial from Sowerby was also brought forward before the board , ia which they object to the removal of their paupers , aad to the giving up of their workhouse on the follosrine grounds !—that tbe overseers rent a piece of
land of 36 days' work , for the value of £ 48 per annum , aud that tbe weekly maintenance of their papers in 1835 , cost 2 * . 4 d . a-head weekly ; in 1 S 36 , 1 > . 10 ^ . ; in 1837 , 2 s . " 4 d . ; and in 1838 , is . 43 cL , which form a part of their reasons for the the Don-abandoument of their workhouse . Mr . Poilard stated that he had visited Elland workhouse , anJ fo-nd that there was 38 inmates , and Toom for to bo'd 13 more btistcad > , which would acconunoj » te 26 paupers , and thought that these ought to be ininn-diately ordered together , with bedding , &c . 10 that Barkiylapd and Stainland workhouses , trbk-h bare about 20 naupers in them , may be removed to El'and . He stated that he had been told
by Mr . "Wilkinson , of Brow Bridge , who . had icspededthe workhouse with him , that by taking oS" trie roof and making it another story higher , it ini . dir be made to bold 200 individuals . Mr . P . tien intirnared that tbe subject of building a new irorkhou- * must be brought before them , or tbe alteration of the old ones suggested , and that be intejjdid giving notice to that effect . After pome desultory conversation had takes place , in which tbe Sotrerby memorial and Elland workhouse formed alternate topics , Mr . Baxter came forward-to correct an error which had been attributed to Mr . Beacnjon' ' , and bad fonnd its way into one or both of the newspapers in this towu , respecting Sowerby workcoo- - * , in which it was stated that one of the inmates in that workhouse , an infirm old man , had Wen seen with icicles hanging to his hair , in
conseqntneeof tbe dilapidat ed state of the building , andbeing * xposed to the inclemency of tbe weather , where it OD f ibt to have been hanging above bis bead . -Mr . Pollard said that be bad understood Mr . Beaumont to have made such a statement . Mr . Foster , one of the guardians for Sowerby , moved , and Mr . "Vi ainhouse seconded , that the occupation of Sowerby irorkhoiise be not given up , and that the inmates remain there until the expiration of the present currern year . Mr . Pollard moved that the original motion remain as an amendment , that the removal of paupers from tbe Sowerby workhouse be still in force . Mr . Appleyard seconded Mr . P . ' s amendment , and on the morion and the amendment being put from the chair , seven appeared on each side . The chairman afterward * gave his casting vote in iaxoar of Mr . P . ' * amendment— -the memorial was
consequently rejected . During the discussion the chairman stated that the memorial was not signed by -any of the principal inhabitants , which it is f 3 ppo > ed was a sufficient reason for him voting as he did , as . be stated be Lad good reason for knowing they dissented from it . Mr . Pollard moved , ami Mr . little seconded , that 13 bedsteads be ordered for Eliand workhouse prior to the removal of the jMper * fmm Barkisland and Stainland workhouses to the above place . Mr . Baxter objected to this on tie ground that if it was found necessary to make tny alterations , . they would , by having the worklouse crowded , be put to considerable inconvenience —and he moved as an amendment that before any beds be obtained or paupers removed , tbe necessary ilserations be made ; it wai » seconded by Mr . JWer , and on the show of hands , seven were held
5 > for the amendment , and fonr against it . Mr . P . ' s amendment was eon .= eqnently carr ied . Mr . "ffainhoase complained of the business of bis townsaip not having been properly attended to , in contequence of Mr . Highley , tbe assistant overseer , isving more business to attend to than he can perform . Mr . Highley appeared before the board , and Rated that it was impossible for him to attend to Srircoat in addition to the town , as he ought to » ttend to it . This being a matter of emergency , it "iras ordered that Skireoat , as being under the . same overseer , be detached from Halifax , ^ nd that Mr . Higfcley continue the overseer of tbe town alone . Aa assistant overseer for Skircoat will be appointed t the next meeting of tie board . Mr . Pollard having absented himself at the close of the discussion , » ome doubts were entertained as to whether he had
given notice respecting the subject of pnildiDg a sew " * ofthouse agreeable to bis intimation , when the ^ nsnaa eave notice that tie matter would be IJ ^ &t forVard on that day fortnight ( next Friday ) . ¦ lie labourers of this town , and neighbourhood may Jfrepare for the results , and sxy whether they are * Sling to be bastiled or not—the die is cast . .

" 3 d . " That we approve of tbe system of arrangements for united labour and expenditure recommended by the " Association of all Classes of all Nations , " and the "National Community Friendly Society ; " and not only do we approve of the principles as laid down for tbe government of those societies , but we do not at present conceive any better or more useful plan to be adopted for
removing the burthen from the shoulders of the labouring millions as that contemplated , by carrying out the principles of those associations so as to effect their emancipation from thraldom and misery . The public agitation , which has now been carried on for some time , are proofs of national distress , and the discussions arising tberefiom , of the want of some master minds to direct the affairs , whose knowledge and previous investigation of these matters might serve better to drect the public mind in the attainment of that object , that labour may be better rewarded , and ultimately secured from those dangers to which at preseut it kands liable .

"
Lord ^ GLENELG said , that he and those who acted with him , had always felt and avowed that an earlier termination than 1840 of the apprenticeship was desirable , if that object could be attained by acts of the local Legislature *; and he might say , that the movement in Barbadoes was originated by a despatch from himself . It would , however , have been dangerous to have sought to effect the object without the previous sanction aud hearty co-operation of the local authorities . Exactly the same ground applied to the drown colonies an to the chartered colonies . Similar instruction * to those sent out to the chartered colonies had been forwarded to the Crown colonies , and he had no doubt that they would be acted upon by the local authorities ,-who wonld legislate in the
&ame spirit as the fonuer bad legislated . Me was happy in being able to state that in fact , the-Legislatures of the Crown colonies had followed the examples set them b y the Lf gislatures of the chartered colonies ; for , in addition to the information alluded to by the Noble and Learned Lord , similar satisfactory accounts had lately ' been received from Grenada , and alru from tho BabamaH : and further , that in somp of the Crown colonies tbe Governors intended to submit to the Legislative bodies acts- of the same nature as those which had been carried else- , ¦ w here , and that no doubt was entertained of their success . His Lordship tbea proceeded to describe what had been dontin Trinidad , Santa Lucia , nnd Guiana , He said that he had every reason for anticipating tbe same satisfactory resnlt in the
Muunuus . Lord BROUGHAM expressedbimself highlv gratified by tbe information communicated by the Noble Lord , and withdrew his motion , on an understanding that Government would , in despatches to the dillereii t Governors , urge in the most earnest inann . r t ; ie carrying of similar measures in the Crown colonies to those adopted by the Legislatures of the chartered colonies . The Benefices' Plnrality Bill went through a Committee . The report was ordered to be received 011 Friday upxt . The Church Discipline Bill and the Sheriffs' Courts Bill wrre read a second time , and ordered to be committed on Thursday . v Their Lordships then adjourned at twelve o'clock .
Ticestlay , July , \ 7 th . The Entails ( Scotland ) Bill went through committee , with amendments , and was ordered to bk reported oh Thursday . Lord W 1 NCH 1 LSEA inquired of Lord Melbourne whether any appointmeuthad bteeu conferred by Lord Durham on Mr . Gibbon Wakefield ; ivbetberSir John Colhorne bad resigned the tciiilnaud of tbe troopg in Canada ; and whether Lord Durham had applied for an additional military force ? Lord ^ lELBOUilNE replied , that he had received no information on the . subject * of the appointment alluded to ; that it was true that Sir John Cot borne had resigned , but that he was not aware of any alteration in the conditiou of Canada , that called for an increase of troops there .
Lord LONDONDERRY a * ked whether am steps had been taken by the Spanish Government lor tht ; immediate "payment of the arrears due to tbt British Legion ? Lord MELBOURNE replied , that it was the great object of tbe commission which had been appointed to inquire into those arrears , to have them > eitkd as speedily as possible . The Juvenile Offenders' Bill and the International Copyright Bill went through committee . Lord \ YHARNCL 1 IFE moved , pursuant to notice , for copies of any petition , memorial , or othei communication made to the Lord Chancellor , from any person or persons residing in Leeds or its neighbourhood , respecting the insertion of certain names iu tbe Commission of tbe Peace for the "West-Hiding of Yorkshire .
After a short debate , Lord VvhaRNCLIFFE withdrew his motion on the Lord Chancellor declaring that he was not aware of the existence oi any memorial of tbe kind . " Lord Melbourne , in moving that the report of the In .-h Municipal Corporations Bill be received , expressed his disapprobation of some of the amendments « hich tad been made in tbe measure , on the motion of Lord Lvndhurst ; but he said that \ n
would not abandon tbe bill on account of tlieir adoption . He gave notice , however , that , on the third reading of the bill , he will move the-. addition of a certain number of towns to schedule A ; aiid also the addition of another schedule , containii ^ several other towns , to which he thought corporation and municipal government ought to be given by the bill , with a lower rate of qualification .

GREAT MEETING AT BARRHEAD WITH FE ARGUS O'CONNOR , Esq . Dr . Taylor having appointed Thursday last , the i 2 fh'in » t ., for delivering his lecture to tbe Woikin ^ Men ' s Association of th'S spirited village , expectation was on the tiptoe , but wiis infinitely increased when it was kuowu on the mornipg iu ( juestioo that Feyrgus O'Connor was to acconipaiiy the Doctor . Mr . Walker ' s larfie hall in the Barrhead Inn , having been-found totally inadequate to contain a tithe of ihose nnrtioui-ly ciovding jn , an adjournment to the open court took place , and shortly alter eight o ' clock the Chairman of tbe Awoemtiyn ,. Mr . Peter Clarke , printer , ascended the steps amid repeated cheering from the assembled multitude .
The Chairman said they had been called together rn-hi-ar u lecture fom Dr . John Taylor , and he now called upon him . to come forward . Dr . Taylor advanced amid renewed acclamation , iind observed that he considered Working Men ' s As .-ouiat ons ; s the bulwarks of the people against the tyranny of the Aristocracy . ^ He had been in-, -truuieutdl iu the formation ot many of them , and he-always considered it his duty to give his aid to them when called upon . He was glnd to wee tht ueojWe at li-nuth acring upon the advice he had lony
<>} : o tendtred to them , and taking their anairs into iheirow . n hands . He was prepared to go on with his lecture , and should be happy to redeem his l 'ilen { . e , but he coisidered that the opportunity 01 oi in ^ ing among them the best , the mo 4 talented , ami the m < st dettrmiutd Radical in England—his ( iiiHiuc'hiiig friend Feargus O'Connor —( great cheer .- ) ¦—should not be lo-t . He proposed therefore ro delay his Iwture till auoiher opportunity , and , with thtir jiermi . < si . on , he now beg ; , ed to introduce to t-litni that -trieil and tru .-ted friend .
Mr . O'Connor came forward amid repeated cheers . Mr . Chairman and friends : I urn delighted at this opportunity of witnessing the spirit and determination of the men ot Harrbead , and the 01 . ly thing I regret is depriving , you- of the lecture of jny e > - ¦ ei . -Hifd f it-iid , that eloquent and iudefatigable 1 )* . ' - inocrat , John Taylor . ( Cheers . ) Yot have gaimvi nothing during the last seven years of legislation ; or all changes have been in favour of tbe Aristocracy , ' iind all new laws against the people . It is oniy w hi n you have the power ot voting lor a representative that you are within the pule of the constitution ; and , when notso , the experience ofjhe past
may teach you that your rights are invaded , your reHi « Msfrant-es despised , and your sorrows laughed at . Compare tbe palaces of your Kings and the houses of y . mr Aristocracy a century back , with the i- 'orjieriu-1 .-trufciim's they now rt-side in ; compare the rlieti tuatintr ot their lives with the luxurious present , und see how immensely their comforts and luxuries uie iiureased , even within thirty years . Were they the authors of this increase : No ! Where then did it come'from ? Look around you , enquire int > your uwn position , examine the circuwstanets of tLe baud-loom weavers during tbe same periodthe last ihirtv \ ears—and vou will find their
circums an < es de ' cr ' easiiijrin an inverse ratio to ti . e increase of the others , until from a comfortable subsistence a on me steeped to the very dregs id poverty— ( cheers , a lid ri'po'aied cries of" true" ) it is from your efforts alone , that all the increase of wealth and luxury has taktn place , and can it be just that you should ' , instead ol participating in these advantage ? , be riiirad by it ? Certainly not , and tbe reason that you are so , is to be found in a bad and vicious sysrem of fjf ) veinmi n * . It is hot the members of parliainei t who are to bbmie , lor they are rather a fair an- ! liberal representation of the electors who return them , but it is that system which allows one only out ol tiftien , ro be represented , and iiiukts it the
intt rest of the few to tyrann ze over the matiy ; and you should ever keep iu mind , that in proportion as V'iu stifl-i red the rij ; ht of voting to be wrtsttd fioui you , \< m added bitttrnfss to the l ' . wh under v . i . kh you groan . Amid all the improvements of modern . lays , tlse increase of knowledge , thv advantages . of modern di .-toveiies , are vou still tu remain in ignorance and bondage ; are you t . » take no-note of time , ? nd to vtinain for evtr jio-vorned by thtn ^ avd V > dTburous laws of days gone by ? ( Chters , and cries " no , never . " ) 1 would lay it down as a principle , that the pri'sen . ? House of Commons * has no right to make laws for the people because it is not chosen by the ptopW , and-that vmiil it be so cbo-en , laws-made by
if are not binding on the people—nor can there be any tt . ing criminal in defying laws so made , and to this we are to attribute the circumstance'that in verymany instances tbe breaker of tbe law is received with liouour , and tbe country rallies round him as one who had done nothing wrong . If the laws were made by the House of Connnons chosen by the whole people , do you think this could ever happen , or that the people would permit their laws to be broken through-not only with impunity , but with honour r Impossible , for every one havintr an interest in sup-I'orting them , would then become a policeman to see tliat they were obeyed . We are told that we are too ignorant to be entrusted with
legislative power . We are at least as wise as our ancestors , and they posse > sed it at what the Whigs call " the glirious revolution of I 6 S 8 . " If we are not so well informed as vse ought to be , whose fault is ir but that of the government , which , by grinding the people into dust denies them the opportunity of acquiring information ; but away with such futile assertions , it is not because they are ignorant that power is withheld from them—it is because they know too much—it is their knowledge , not their ignorance , which their tyrants fear . The great disadv < vm » j . 'tvwhk-h 1 be ptopta labour under , is having l . etn split into various parties , and allowing their energies to be fritted away on different measures ,
instead of combining for one great object . Some have told you to buy books , others to buy arms , others to ruin the trade of the exciseman , and others to press for a repeal of the corn laws ; now , from none of these will ) ou derive any benefit , until you have tbe power in your hands , because it is the intt-rest of your tyrants to divert it into their own pockets , and if you have not two thousand pensioners , you will have five thousand commissioners . That you will obtain the necessary power by a wellcombined and peaceful movement , I fully believe ; but , at the same time , I would have you so organized as to be in a situation to defend yourselves against brute force , for , although I detest the very
idea of bloodshed , I have always maintained that there is a point beyond which endurance cannot go . The introduction of machinery has b ^ en attended with the most baneful results to you , yet it is not either to its introduction or its proper application that I object , it is to the abuse of it , to the unequal distribution of the products of it J it has had the effect-of altering all the social relations , and made youDg children toil to death for their parents , instead of their parents supporiing them . ( Shame . ) In sborr , machinery , which should have been the poor man ' s holiday has become his curse . A great combined movement is now taking place for Universal Suffrage ; already our
enemies tremble at the consequences , and before long you will see various attempts made to divide the Radicals ; even since I came to Scotland , I have observed the more timid Radicals showing a sneaking kindness to the Whig trimmers under the pretence of fearing a revolution . Yet these parties , with singular inconsistency , are the first to laud the revolution of 1688 , which secured to the people Universal Suffrage , Annual or Sessional Parliaments , freedom from qualification clauses , and the payment of members , and surely if a revolution was good then , having such results ,-it cannot be .- bad havinthe objects
now in 1838 , g same . ( Cheering . ) I ask for the people nothing but justice , and I look in vain for anything like an attempt to do them justice since the passing of the Reform Bill . The first act was the Coercion Bill for Ireland— the Vast for Canada ; and the "Whiga , while pretending to abuse the tyrant Cumberland , sst up as an object of worship the dictator , Durh am . There would be no p . ay efty ¦¦ in ^ Sc 6 tland . if .. you ;¦ ¦ ' got . ju 8 tice , Vfbr ^ the : rich . e >• of tfce country are increasing by your indiustry ^ but the landed aristocracy seize their portion from the land , while the capitalists wring it from your bones and sinews , leaving nothing for you but poverty and

despair . AH tbe pretended measures of liberality which have been introduced , have only been so many clap-traps ? with which to cheat you into a little longer endurance ; and their Municipal Corporations , about which they hav ^ mad e such a . lus »» mean Dothing but billiard tables fer the rich , and jails for the poor ; and since ever the Whigs came into office , do opportunity has been lost of increasing tbe power of the ; aristocracy to the injury of the ; people ; nor is it easy tb see how ; any Government ,, whether Whig or Tory , can do them justice until Universal Suffrage has placed the power in the * hands of the proper parties , for they are doubly mortgaged , to the landholders on the one band , and the fundhoiders on the other , while any government _ - - ; -- .,., * -.- - « . -.,
that attempted to foreclose- ; the ¦ bargain withoufc having a very different House of Cbmmonfl , would irom diately bt destroyed by the two combined . Universal Suffrage was a part of the constitution when it was worth living for , and worth djinj ? for . So were Sessional Parliaments and paid members , and they are the real destructives who have deprived the constitution of : these , its brightest glories . There is my friend , John Taylor , the most abused mac iu Scotland , whom I always find at hi ? post , and with whom I am : proud to co-operate . He values health , circumstances , or friends as nothing compared with the great cause . Aud what is it which he seeks , and which I seek ? Is it a subversion of the constitution ? No ! it is the
constitution , the whole constitution , and nothing but the constitution : as it was , as it ought to he , aye , and as it yet shall be . ( Great cheers . ) In Universal Suffrage is our hope ; to that we must press on with a combined and determined movement" ; and by d \ onti pull , a strongpu . 'l , and a pull altogether , we shall pull down the temple of tyranny , and rear in its place an altar to freedom . ( Cheers . ) There is a time coming which will make every men hrave aud r . o abuse will be safe , for hunger will break through stone walls . The same power which
carried the Reform Bill and the Emancipation Bill- — which brought Charles to thebloefc , and drove James from the throne—that same power still exists , and will in furure be used for a very different purpose rhari merely to transfer the state baubles from one faction to another . There are only two classes whom ! would disfranchise , viz ., those who will not iigitate for their own rights , and those who would withhold thtt rights of others ; and I am glad to find by their appearance to-day and tbeir conduct hitherto that the Httn at Barrhead belong to neither .
Mr . O'Connor eoneludid a long and riiasrerl y address , and retired from the meeting amid deafeniiig plaudits . A unanimous vote of thanks ? to him and Dr . Taylor was carried by acclamation , and upon the motion of the latter , a round of cheers to the chairman , when the meeting quietly dispersed . There could not he less than 1500 people present , nnd a more delighted assemblage has s Id . om beerr seen a large party remained after the meeting to see Mr . O'Connor away , < ind during the hour they remained nothing could exceed the attention and activity of Mr . Walker and his family . —Glasgow Post .
