X ^ sos . —The Teetotal Chaeteb Associatios . —At a meeting of the members of this Association , called - . o discuss the propriety of uniting with the Natioaal Union and Executive at Manchester , or to form a new organisation on the high moral ground of 3 «» ii-u : n ? ai , aad total abstinence from ill mtoxica& ^ - j , drinks , a very interesting discnssion was the eonsfc ^ Dce , in which seTeral friends , not members , wert aiiewed to take part . Mr . T . B . Smith was calki to the . chair . Although the meeting was BiiK . af-ui in ite derision of abandoning the idea of nnii .: 4 -vith the present Association , it wished it to be i : i : ierst » od , that the object in view was nothing less il . an that of being bett « r able , when sny great nationr ] or local movements ocesur , to afford more
vicciv * aid than they otherwise could do . The follo ^ vl ; . ^ resolutions were parse d on the occasion : — ** Thsj this meeting is ef opinion that any move- ' me ; .: hs ~; ng for its object the establishment of the prin ~ 'p ' e- embodied in the Cuaner as the law of the land , will be fruitless and unavailing , unless based on tb ? high moral ground of self-denial , and total » bsrisenee from all intoxicating drinks . " " That this mating respectfully recommends that immediate ? iv ; p 3 ot taken by all the Teetotal Chatter Associations in the United Qneendoin , to establish a natioa ^ l organisation , in conformity with the improved - ? B £ gastions of the Manchester meeting of oelei : a ;« , and to be called ' The National Teetotal Chaiivr Association . ' "

On Monday night , th * aiuiviily report will be submitted to the members , besides other important business when all the ineuibsr . are desired to attend . The subject M Monarchy versus Republicanism , " will be resumed on Tuesday night .

The meeting was b-id in the large room of theFieeco Inn , and was completely crammed . Mr . W&he was called to the chair . Resolutions were passed to the effect , that no : h ; .

EAilPAX . —Chartism is getting on gloriously * t Hii ; :: > x . The friends here have determined to hold iLcir meetings no longer at a public house , so they :. ure taken a room in Waterhonse-street , wasre their meetiags will , in future , be held . At a rec « ia meeting i » was resolved , " That class petitions be seiit to the Honsa of Commons for the iiDeratiou of F ^ ar : f 15 O'Connor , Esq ., and all others who are impr- ^ -n-d for political offences ; " and , also , "That it is wirhusep regret we perceive the unwarrantable eond ^ t ( ' { Messrs . Collins and O'Neii ( in the Star
of the I ' K- . h ult . ) towards their Chartist brethren and their =-.. nrring brethren in exile , and that the thanks of th- > rucciiag be given to our Birmingham brethren for ex wing their coudnct , and to the Editor of the Scar . or iiiserting the same ; for we conceive it to be the du : ~ of -aii good and true Chartists , whenever &ay of -.- "r leaders shew auy ^ symptoms of trimming and : i : i : ag of straws , bickering or obstructing the cauv =, ro shew them up and expose them immediately : ^ ad , by thai msaus , perhaps , they maybe reclair :- " . or , otherwise , go over to the enemy without doist ; aay further harm .

DAISY BXLZu—The members of this Association met on Sunday forenoon . The business commenced with reading the celebration of the release of Mr . Henry Vincent from Oakham Jail . The addresses of Mr . Henry Vincent have had great effect on the members of this Association ; many of them have become teetotallers . On Sunday evening , Mm Peel preached to a crowded audience . NEWPORT . —At the weekly meeting of the Charter Association , held at the Llanarth Inn , on Monday night , the missionary , Mr . Jones , gave an
animated account of his mission through Glamorgaushire and Monmouth . Mr . J . Hitching read the account of Vincent ' s dinner , which was cheered throughout . Proud are the men of Wales of his ( Vincent ' s ) undaunted and unflinching conduct . Edwards is to be released as soon as the bail is approved . STAP £ E 70 XU > . —On Sunday last , Mr . Barrat delivered two sermons in the chapel , to crowded congregations . It being announced that Clayton ' s funeral sermon would be preached at night , the place was literally jammed , so much sot that many were compelled to stand outside .
LEICESTER . —A large and very enthusiastic meeting took place in the Town-hall , last Monday night . A series of resolutions , expressive of the confidence of Chartists in Feargus O'Connor , and of their abhorrence of the tyrannical and cruel treatment to which be is at present subjected , were put and carried ; and afterwards a petition to the House of Commons , prayir-g for his immediate liberatioa , was adopted . Mr Markham was in the chair , aad the business of the evening was introduced" in a speech of very considerable ability , by Mr . Smart , late delegate to the Convention ; the other speakers were Mr . Cooper , editor of the Illuminator , and Messrs . Burden , SaaJ , Bowman , Mansfield , &c . The meeting was characterised by an excitement of the most hearty and pleasing character ; and amongst
other subjects started , and received "with strong demonstrations of approval , was the establishment of a Chartist Teetotal Society . Henry Vincent is to deliver hi 3 first lectures on Monday and Tuesday week ; and h . s third lecture , on the foilowiry Monday , i 8 to be preceded by a public tea meeliu ,. All is rue for great things in Leicester ; and a coa ndence is felt , that the hearts of the Whigs wih begin to fear and tremble more than ever , when thej see and hear of the determined efforts which are being made for political emancipation by the working men . It should not be forgotten , that the petition is to be presented to the Commons-by Mr . Thos . Buncombe , who very promptly expressed his readiness te undertake that service , on an application beinz made to him , in writing , by Mr . Cooper .
TXVKRTON . —Extract of a Letter . — " We are much dissatisfied with the conduct of the Executive Council towards the Chartists of the Wes : of England in general ; they subscribed largely towards the cause in the North , and find the West dark and still neglected . They have written two letters to toe Executive on the subject of getting themselves enrolled , and have received no answer ; they have also sent repeatedly to solicit a lecturer from the North , and have willingly offered to subscribe to his support , but no notice has been taken of it . Truth is beginning to shed forth its glory from the Land's Eud in Cornwall to the eastern extremity of Devon ; and had they the same
privilege of having lecturers here a 3 they have in the North ., incalculable good would result . " WILTSHIRE . —The meeting of delegate ? from Trowbridge , Bradford , Warminster , Kinston Dererill , Monkton DeTerill , and Mere , w ** held at the house of Mr . Tucker , Westbury , on Sunday last , whan a cheering account was given of the progress of Chartism in the district . Thanks were voted to the Chartists at Westbury , for their spirited and straightforward treatment of the Rev . Mr . Watson ' s opposition and misrepresentation ; aud alsD to Mr . Tudgey , for becoming agent for the Star . Mr . Moore read a letter which he ha j received from William Carrier , the Chartiai victim , in which ha stated that he was at last off the wheel .
BKADFOBD . —The Chartists of this place held their weekly meeting , ou Saturday evening last , in the GhapcJ , Long Croft Piace , Mr . AlJerson in the chair . A letter was read from Mr . Utley , of Sheffield , stating that Mrs . Clayton had a son from home , without the consent of his mother , or any other person or party , and desiring us to give him a reprimand , aud prerent , ii' possible , his imposing on any other town . HTJDDERSFJILXD —At the weekly meeting of the Nauotal Charter Association , on TuesCiy evening , a lengthy disenssien was entered into upon the propriety of opening a Chartist newt room ; the debate was adjourned to Tuesday next , when all friends are requested to attend to hear the report , and also the report of the delegate from the Dewsbury meeting .
GATEaaEAO . —Mr . Lowery lectured here the other Bight on Foreign Policy ; his speech occupied about an bonr . He consured , but iu very miJd terms , tbe conduct of the Northern Star in opting the law Foreiga Policy movement . Mr . Fnii . JorgLi and other speakers defended the Star , aad contended that the agitation , respecting foreign policy , -was intended to ' divert the people's attention from the Charter . —Mr . Deegan partially corroborated Mr . L . ' s statements . Mr . Deegan was happy to uuderstand , by the conduct of the meeting , that they were upon such friendly terms with the Star ; notwithstanding which he felt it a duty to reply to an attack which was made upon him in that paper , in consequence of a misrepresentation of a speech of
his at a meeting in Snn ^ erland , all of which ha < . ' eclarcd to be a tissue of lies . Mr . D . said , respecting the account mentioned in the Star , he considered that , not taking into accouu ' l upwards of ^ 20 worth of papers which he failed to dispose of , and for which he paid ; that he sent regular correspondence , and good correspondence , all of which was always inserted for that length of time ; that he considered that if the Star give him £ 20 , that they would be nothing minus , when circumstances would enable him to liquidate tbe debt , which he would do as aeon as possible . He would then reply to them in due form . —Mr . Radly replied to Mr . D ., affirming thai he did use the expressions inserted m-the Star . —Mr . Fainlough moved , aud Mr . Hebdon seconded ,
tbe following resolution , which was carried unanimously : — " That this meeting tender their most sincere thanks to Feargus O'Connor , E- q ., the proprietor , and to the Rev . William Hill , tiie editor of thai invaluable organ of the working people , the Northern Star ; and farther , that this meeting pla . ee the most implicit confidence in them , and aie determined to defend their organ against every assailant , so long as it unflinchingly advocates the rights of industry , as it has always done hitherto . " —J > lr . Lowery moved , a . ud Mr . Cross seconded the next , which was carried by a majority : — " That this meeting recognise the right of every man to express his opinion on ail political evils , and deny the ri ^ ht of any one to attack private character on public
differences . "— Mr . Fainlough moved , aud Mr . Lowery seconded , " That this meettog do individually and collectively demand the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones ; also , that this meeting do hereby give their hearty co-operation to the general committee of Birmingham for that desirable object . " Thauk 3 were given to the Chairman , for his impartial conduct in the chair . Three cheers were given 10 Feargus O ' Connor , Esq . ; three for the Star ; three for Frost , Williams , and Joii&a ; and tke meeting separated at a few minutes to twelve o ' clock . [ We are sorry to be compelled to risk the displeasure of Mr . Deegan ' s twenty-three friends , by again staling simple lacts , in reply to that gentleman's observations , as reported to us . First , then , as to Mr . Deegan ' s unsold papers ; we know nothing of them . This is the first time we hare heard ol
them . We never sent Mr . Deegan more papers than he ordered . Mr . Deegan knew * the rule of the office —that every agent is required to pay for every paper whicn he does oraer ; and if he knew his business so badly as not to regulate his orders by his demand , the fault was not ours . As to the correspondence of which he speaks , we know nothing about it ; it is possible tnat Mr . Deegan might , sometimes , have sent us a paragraph of local news , but we have no recollection that he ever did so . He
has , sometimes , since his appointment as a missionary , sent us reports of his own meetings , and they have always been inserted when practicable . Our cashier desires us to bay that he is very glad to learn the altered style of speaking adopted by Mr . Deegan , relative to the debt due to the office ; he having formerly been in the habit of evading payment by denying the debt , of which the testimony may be found in several letters , from him and from his father , now in the possession of our cashier . — Ed .

Death fhom Destitution . —Operation of the !\ £ W Pooa Law in the Kkkslngton Union . —On Wednesday , a lengthened inquiry was instituted before Mr . Wakley , M . P ., coroner for the Western Division of Middlesex , and a jury , consisting of thirteen respectable inhabitants of Kensington , in the large room of the Gloucester Taveru , Gloucesterroad , Kensington , into the circumstances attendant upon the death of William Eaton , aged 61 years , who died in the workhouse for males belonging to the Kensington Union , on the morning of Saturday last , a few hours after he was bronght there . The jury accompanied the Coroner to the workhouse in Gloucester-road , to see the body of the deceased , which was deposited in the dead house . The body
presented nearly the appearance of a skeleton , and on leaving the place , Beveral of the jury declared the sight they had witnessed would never be effaced from their remembrance . The deceased was a shoemaker , and had lodged in a room at No . 12 , New Coart , Brompton . It wu proved that since Michaelmas last , he had only had about two pairs of shoes per -week to make , for which he wonld receive 2 s . 8 d . His room presented a scene of unparalleled misery and destitution , and it appeared that he had had relief from the Kensington Union , to the extent of a pouDd of meat . There were several Guardians present , and the coroner ordered the Telieving-oficer to fee sent for , to whom he addressed some ssrere aainudveraoas ,

A Peek at a Police Office . —There is nothing but revolutions in thia world . It is but a few days since Lord Cardigan was brought to trial in the House of Lords for shooting at one Harvey Tuckett ; an * yesterday we bad tbe son and Bepbew of Baron Foster paraded at College-street police-office for horsewhipping a Peer of the realm , who is commonly called Viscount Uassareen . The assinlt occurred upon Tuesday , in Nassau-street , when Mr . Charles and Mr . Arthur Foster meeting Lord Massareen , asked him " if he knew them ? " to -which he replied in the negative They were , however , not to bt > put off in this way ; so one of them pulling out a whip commenced flagellating the Peei across his noble shoulders , and when this ceremony was concluded , the operator aud his compa nion proffered his chastened Lordship their cards ,
which be in a dignified manner declined . With aching shoulders he proceeded to College-street police-office , and purchased a summons , as a cataplasm for his wounded dignity . To this legal challenge the Fosters appeared , and confronted the naughty and horsewhipped Massareen . The business commenced by Mr . Hitchcock , the Magistrate , very improperly proposing a private investigation , which was objected to by that highly respectable Barrister , Mr . J . A . Curran , who insisted that the inquiry should be a public one . The examination then proceeded , aud Mr . Curran elicited from Lord Massareen that he was not only a poet , but the author of a work entitled , " The Sketch of Lave , " ¦ which we understand—for Mr . Hitchcock would not allow it to be read—reflected with much severity upon Baron Foster . Lord Massareen intimated that he only
desired his assailants should bo bound over to keep the peace , and they were accordingly held to bail , that they ahouid not , under a penalty of two hundred pounds , horsewhip his Lordship for a twelvemonth . Here is another case which the Thunderer of Printing-housesquare may cite to prove " that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . " We leave out ef sight tbe provocation -which Lard Massaxeen may Lave given the Fuster family , and which tempted them to commit a breach of the la-w by horsewhipping him in the public etreet It may Lave been very grievous or frivolous—it may have alluded to what Professor Napier would call " the clouded morning of a mis-^ p ^ at life , " or to some trifling eccentricity of character only calculated to excite a smile , but , be the
provocation -what it may , with that we have nothing to do , having merely to deal with the judicial conduct of the police justice . Bad example is contagious . Lord Denman , it will be remembered , the othsr day was the advocate for compounding a criminal charge agaiust the Earl of Waldegrave , who bad nearly murdered a , poMce constable , and the Dublin Magistrate , treading in the steps of the Lord Chief Justice , proposes a private iuvw-tigation of a case in which a Peer and theson and nephew of a JuOge are the parties engaged . Had a hard-working mechanic , or even an industrious shopkeeper , been bruugnt before this Justice Hitchcock upon a similar chiTge would he have proposed a private iuvestigation , and allowed tbe offence to be compounded ? Of a verity we live iu an age of impartial justice . —The World ( I > ub 3 in ) .
Legal Farce the Second . —There has been a pendant to the Cardigan mockery of justice at the Old Bailey , in the trial of his Lordship ' s second , Captain Douglas . The Judgo upon whom devolved the first part in the farce , had to wonder that there -was no counsel for the prosecution , to explain that there was no evidence that Harvey Tuckett was Hatvey Garnett Phipps Tuckett , or that Captain Douglas was Captain Douglas . He said that everybody knew that Captain Tuckett had been fired at , and wouaded by , Lord Cardigan , on Wimbledon Common , but that , according to the rules of law , and tbe evidence produced , no one could legally know it There is such a thing as getting up a case for trial , and also there is such a thing as not getting up a case for trial , or rather getting it up for au acquiiUl by tbe non-productien of evidence . This has
been done by the attorney employed by Government on tbe present occasion , to avoid the scandal of s conviction of Captain Don ^ laa in a criminal court , after the acquittal of his principal in the highest tribunal in the realm . The sauce for the goose has been made sauce for the gander . That there has been equal injustice in the two cases cannot be denied ; but how disgraceful it is , for eny reason or object whatever , that the persons ostensibly employed on the part of the public for the furtherance of justice , should really have been engaged in producing so imperfect a case as to elude it There cannot now be a doubt that the sam » contrivance was employed to procurtj the acquittal of Lord Cardigan , which apprars 80 nakedly in that of Captain Douglas . With a public prosecutor , tricks of this sort , making a mockery of justice , would be impossible . —Examiner .

TROTH OVB . LONDON CORRESPO . VDE . VT . Louden , Thursday Evening , March 4 , Quarter to Seven . ~ Awful Death of a Grave Digger . —This afternoon , about lour o ' clock , as the under-oexcon of St . Bride ' s Churcb , Fleet-street , was employed in digipng a grave , adjicent to one ef the vaults , the brick work of the latter gave way , and buried him alive . It was upwards of two hours from the occurrence of the accident , before the poor fellow
could be got out , when it was found that he must have expired almost instantaneously . A dense crowd is now surrounding the sceno of the accident , and the City police are not the most civil in their deportment ; for on our endeavouring to learn tbe name , &c . of the deceased , at tbe Twelve Bella , near the Church , one of those unboiled gentry , under Mr . Whittle Harvey ' a command , called to a companion to tend him his truncheon , te keep the course clear , that course being a public thoroughfare .
Cirr News . —The classes wbo live by " ringing the changes" between paper asd gold , have been somewhat startled to-day , on the receipt of news by the American packet-ship , United States , that the United States Bank had suspended cash payments ; a course which was followed by most of , if not all , the state banks in the adjacent country . Daring tbe day , however , the more reflecting portion of the u dabblers" found out that this step , on the partofthe American batks , was in all probability but a preliminary measure to the liquidation of the outstanding ' cotton claims , " and confidence was again restored ; indeed , should this conjecture prove well-founded , a brisk trade may be anticipated this summer for « ur Manchester and Sheffield goods . The following are the closing prices of the British Stocks thits afternoon : —Consols for Account , 89 |; Do . Money , 88 |; New Three-and-a-half per Ceut , 97 ^ ; Exchequer Bills 12 s . premium .
The Bloomsbvry Chartists held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday evening , when the following resolution was unanimously adopted : — " That this Association views with feelings of regiet the conduct of a portion of the men of Kirkcaldy , in allowing themselves to be gulled by the Whig aud Household Suffrage faction , and that they caution their Chartist brethren throughout the country against the insidious machinations now making by the Sham-Radical party , and trust that they will never lend themselves to agitate for anything less than the Charter . "
THE CORN Law League is Afraid of the Chabhsis I- It is a singular fact , that outhe occasion ot the Chartists holding a festive meeting to celebrate the release of their friends from durance , ( the Lovett and Collins dinner , ) the Corn Law Repealers took advantage of the circumstance to hold a meeting , in the hop © that they might pass their resolutions undisturbed ; on that occasion , they conjic . aied rightly ; but , on tryiug on tho same game ou Monday last , notwithstanding the numerous attendance at tbe Vincent dinner , the Anti-Corn-Law party were doomed to be disappointed , for tbe friends of the Charter mustered iu sufficient strength at tho Crown and Anchor , to deleat the factious purposes of the " Repealers , " and to carry by two to one , resolutions in favour of Universal Suffrage and the Charter . One fact is "worth a ton of argument .

1 MPOETANT FEOM AlttEIilCA . UNITED STATES . ' SUSPENSION OF THE UNITED STATES BANK . We have received by the packet-ship George Washington , which arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning , New York papers to the 8 th ult inclusive . Their contents are highly important The Bank of the United States had for the third time suspended specie payments . Having , it is stated , been disappointed hi the receipt of large amounts of specie , it was compelled , » n the afternoon of the 4 th ult , to refuse the payment of a demand of 100 , 0 * 0 dollars from New York , as well as the ^ yment of some other heavy sums .
( Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce . ) Philadelphia , Feb . 5 . The burst up of the United States Bauk yesterday gave rise to an excitement , which has continued through to-day , such as wa 3 never before witnessed in this city on any similar occasion . The fact of the failure of the Bank to meet the two or three draughts of large amount on Tknrsday was not understood until after the cars left for your city to be an absolute failure .
Early this morning the streets were crowded with citisens , and before the opening of the doors of the banks there were crewda of greater or less extent in front of them all , and particularly so before the United States , Girard , and Farmers' and Mechanics ' . On the opening of the doors , there was a rush for specie by depositors and note holders . All paid , including the United States , for five dollar notes , for an hour or two , when the Girard began to wince , and finally " resigned trumps , " standing its hand so further than to pay its five dollar notes . Thus has gone on the first day of trial . The greatest confusion prevails , and the banks were all busily employed in paying out specie from the open *

Tbe Bank of the United States has Veen cited before Judge King , to shew cause of refusal to pay her ten dollar notes . She is allowed ten days to file her answer or to pay the money . All the banks before three o ' clock ceased to pay anything but theii five dollar bills , except five—the Wes tern , the Southwark , the Commercial , the Philadelphia , and the Bulk of North America . We shall , in all human probability , have a general suspension to-morrow . Ihe banks , I think , cannot stand another day ' s run like this .
( FremtheNational Gazette . ) Further Suspension . —P . S . One o ' clock . —AU the banks of the city , with two or three exceptions , have just suspended specie paymeuts , except fotfive dollar notes . The apprehension expressed above is thus already realised . Suspension in Delaware . —The Philadelphia United States Gazelle ot Saturday last says— " We understand that the Directors of the several banks in Wilmington , Delaware , held a meeting yesterday morning , and resolved to suspend specie payments in consequence of Information received from this city . Philadelphia , Feb . 6 . The notes of the United States Bank are selling at a discount to day for specie of 15 per cent
A man of the name of Sheets , a labourer , committed suicide last night , in the upper part of the city , by shooting himself through the heart . Want of business was the cause . Philadelphia , Feb . T . It appears that on the day the United States Bank suspended , tlie City Council aud all the other Banks agreed to receive the notes of the United States Bank . A Mr . Millar has instituted a eult against the United States Bank far a refusal to pay two ten dollar notes in specie . An application was made on Friday morning for a citation against the President and Directors of the United States Bank , to show cause why the Charter of the Bank should not be forfeited in consequence of the Bank refusing to pay specie to the holders of ten dollar Mils . Tbe citation was awarded , and made returnable on the 15 th inst
( Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer . ) Washington , Feb . 11 . I have no longer any doubt that the President-elect has completed his Cabinet He had difficulties to contend with , arising out of geographical divisions ; these , it is believed , have been happily arranged in such a manner as to give general satisfaction to our Whig friends . In the selections which have been made the President has consulted tbe feelings and wisheaof his friends in different district * of tbe country . Indeed even their prejudices have beeu considered . In doing this General Morrison has evinced a sound judgment , mingled with sagacity and discretion . Nor has he been wanting in promptitude . I have reason to believe
that the following gentlemen will constitute General Harrison ' s Cabinet The statement is not made on slight grounds : — Daniel Webster , of Massachusetts , Secretary of State . Thomas Ewing , « f Ohio , Secretary of the Treasury . John Bell , of Tennessee , Secretary of War . George E . Badger , of North Carolina , Secretary of Navy . John J . Grittenden , of Kentucky , Attorney-General . Francis Granger , of New York , Postmaster-General . The M'Leod Case . —The American Grand Jury have found a true bill for murder agaiust Mr . M'Leod , who however will not be tried till the fourth wottk of this month , unless the American Government should think fit to issue a special commission ,

LEEDS . —Total Abstinence Charter Association . —In pursuance of the announcement made in our last week ' s paper , Mr . T . B . Smith , of Hull , preached a sermon to this body , iu their room , No . 82 , High-street , on Sunday evening last . He took for his text the 32 nd verse of the 4 ; h chapter ef Acts , " And the multitude of them that behoved were of one heart , and of one soul : neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own : but they had all things common . " Mr . Smith enforced at great length , and with oonsiderable energy and eloquence , although iu clear terms , the views of the Primitive Christians . He shewed that the religion ( so called ) of the present day was not the religion of the early Church , and that the governing principles to which nearly all
who professed it bowed \ weee selfishness and avarice ., ThiB ho illustrated by reference to the vast accumulation by the millownors of wealth wrung from the hard earnings , the blood and bones , oi" tho poor Jit tie factory child . He dwelt upon the various points of his text at great length—upon the unity of belief , or faith in the power of love and goodness —upon the unity of heart and soul , of feeling and intellect , which were the distinguishing characteristics of priraitivo Christianity , and upon the doctrine of community of possession , which he advocated as the proper state to which mankind should attain . In the course of his remarks upon the latter subject , he exposed the exclusiveness and selfishness of tliose who assume thore aro certain enjoyments to bo con ^ fined to themselves and class alone , especially that knowledge and refinement are not fit for the "lower" orders . All that knowledge which the understanding of man could comprehend , and ali
that refinement which he was capable of receiving , was the right of every man . The little factory child was as capable of bciug instructed in , and had as great a right to , the pleasures of music , of dancing , and of like attainments , as the child of luxury . The lecturer throughout enforced that Christianity was a religion of practice , good work 9 , and benevolence . There was a room full of persons present , and the body have mado a very good commencement . We trust they may prosper , whilst the kindly and charitable doctrines of Ja 9 t Sunday evening are incalculated ; for they are well calculated to lead to usefulness and practical good , and to provide a place of meeting for those in the neighbourhood who do not attend upon the paid expounders of mystery . Mr . Hick , ( we understood ) will deliver a sermon to-morrow evening upon the following text— " Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest . "
