Bradford UNMBD-SKPi ^ to Gl ^ b . —This Societj ' issued large placards l * fel wlek , announcing that Dr . Samuel Smi&Ji ' raS ^ itor of the Leeds TimeSyVrdnW deliver a Iectur 6 on Tuesday evening , January 4 tb , in tha theatre of the Mechanics' Institute , "On the necessity of the diffusion of political knowledge amongst the people ;* ' The members were admitted by the cards of membership , and each member was allowed to introduce a friend . Mr . Forbes , as President of the club , was to take the ^ chair . The Chairman briefly opened the business of the meeting , and hoped every person had received at the dqot an address which had been issued that day , stating the objects which they had in view , and then called on Mr . Smiles to address them .
On his presenting himself a cheer was attempted but failed . Mr . Smiles' lecture was written , and may be considered a pretty fair Chartist lecture . He set completely at rest the question of the Corn Laws being repealed with the present House of Commons , and if it were possible , by threats and intimidation to compel them , they would be able , at some future time to ro-enact them , when they thought proper . He advised them to go to the root of the tree , and extend the suffrage to all that were not convicted of crime , not insane , andall'those t ^ at ' werenotpaupers . He read various authors to prove how happy those nations were who enjoyed Universal Suffrage , particularly Switzerland and America . Mr . Smiles ' address lasted about an hour and a quarter , and
then sat down . The Chairaian advised all to read the address which had been given to them , and he said he agreed with every word Mr . Smiles had said , and told his audience that it would be impossible to stop at Household ; Suffrage , and called on all present to join the Reform Club . Mr . Mensford , one of their own members , then stood up and addressed the Chair , and thanked the- Chairman and Mr . Smiles for advocating Universal , Suffrage , and lie as both of them had declared that Universal Suffrage was their right , why not adoptit at once , instead of trying to : get Household Suffrago ? He was proceeding man able manner to expose the folly of such half measures , when the Chairman interrupted him , aad said , if he was not mistaken he was one of the membera when ^ he rules were drawn up and agreed to . Mr . Mensford acknowledged that he was , but said that he objected to them when they
were passed , and wanted them then to come out for Universal Suffrage . Mr . Mensford said , I mean , Mr . Chairman , to test tne present meeting whether Universal or Household Suffrage is most likely : to remove the evils under which we labour , and moved a resolution to that effect . Mr . Yates seconded the motion . The Chairman again interrupted Mr . Mensferd when he was speaking , and said they were called together to hear a lecture and not a discussion . Mr . Measford again attempted , to speak , and was rewarded with a volley of , hisses from the members of the Reform Club for . his trouble . The Chairman said he was willing to discuss the question , but when pressed upon to name a time and place , he forgot to do so . A vote of thanks was moved to the Doctor , when Mr . Mensford again demanded that the original motion should be put to the meeting , but the Chairman , for reasons peat known to Jnmselfy ' would not put it to the meeting . If he had , there is not the least doubt but Universal Suffrage would have been carried in his own camp .

THE CHARTISTS . NORWICH QUARTER SESSIONS , Jas . 4 . ( Before Mr . J . Jeremy ^ Recorder . ) Thomas Hewett appeared to answer to an indict ment for a misdemeanour , having , with other evildisposed persons , carrying various sorts of arms , unlawfully assembled to disturb the peace , on the 16 th of November last , at Cutton New Church , and then and there made a noise , riot , and disturbance , for the space of an hour or more . He wa 8 further indicted for having , on the same day , a second time , with other eyil-diBposed persons , unlawfully assembled , and thereby created a disturbance during the ceremony of consecration at Cation New Church . ¦¦ . -- . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' . ¦> . ¦ : -: \ - ¦; . ' •¦ - ' . - ; - ¦¦'' ¦• ¦ The case excited great interest , the court being completely crowded dnrihgtlje whole time of the trial . Many of the magistrates were present .
Mr . Evans appeared for the prosecution * Hewett , who conducted his own case , objected to Mr . Nurse being sworn on the jury , alleging that he was pre > judiced against the Chartists . . Mr . Evans called the following witnesses :. — -.. . Robert Coleman deposed—I am one of the police of this city . Was ordered to at'tend tlie church at New Cattyn , onthe 36 th ' of Nov ., in case there shouJd be a breach of the peace . I was at the station-house about a quarter before ten o ' clock . I heard a band of music , and 1 went into the Market-place , and there I saw a band of music and several banners . Hewett was nearly in front . The procession went across the market and up White Lion-street . The church is situate by the side of the road to Catton .
After I got to the churchyard , about half-past ten o'clock , I was stationed at the gate of the church . I saw some persons with a band coming towards the church . ; 1 saw Hewett close by the church gates ; there were about 300 persons assembled : they were conducting themselves in a very tumultuous manner . People were not able to g _ et up to the ckuichyard . I saw Hewett very active and prominent in those attempts . When tho Bishop ' s carriage came it could not be driven up to the 1 gate ; there was a great deal of hooting and different expressions used , directed against the Bishop . After the carriage came pp . tbb persons in it obtained entrance into the church by sheer force . The Mayor then personally assisted the Bishop , and succeeded in obtaining admission .
About half an hoar after the gate was broken , the conduct of the mob was such las to terrify the people attending the service . After the bishop bad entered the church some of the parties went away towards Norwich . Just at the time that the bishop came out of the church the band and banners returned ; they went on the Catton side of the church ; I was in the churchyard . The bishop went round the churchyard , and then Hewett took a banner and etrcuk it against the railings . The band was playing and the people were shouting . I saw Hewett take a banier and plant it against the ratiingti . I suspose the string came loose and the banner fell from the pole . Hewett came and held it over the ground . 1 heard him say
something , but do not recollect the words . The Mayor then took Hewett into custody . The Chartists behaved in a riotous manner , and attempted to rescue him . He was put into a carriage and conveyed to the station-house ; he put bis head out of the window and shouted " Hurrah for the Chartists ; three cheers for Feargus O'Connor . " The whole of the force with the superintendent went down to Catton . We were stationed in various parts to preserve the peace . When we went down the church-gates were not locked ; the church doors were shut . The Mayor came down a very little time after we got there . There was no crowd before the band of music came up . The bishop's carriage came up alone . '
Superintendent Yarrington examined . —I was ordered by the Mayor and magistrates to attend at the new church at Catton , because a riot was apprehended . I airired there about half-past ten . I am able to speak to Hewett the defendant being there , who headed a procession with bands and banners . Hewett and a number of others came up and asked for admission . A rush ensued , and an attempt to force open the gate , which was broken . I saw Hewett , who called out" Go it , my bpys , ^ or words to that effect ; ho Teas foremost amongst those who

made the crush . The police succeeded in preventing them ; from getting ih ; In a quarter of an hour the Bisbop- ' s carriage came , and \ ( hen there was > great noise " and inahy bad e ^ prjBSsionB . v The ^ carriage could notdrlve up to the gate . With the assistance of the magistrates and polled the Biahop was conduoted into the churchyard ;; there were more than 100 persons . ~ Hewett' was amongst those who Were , making the rash . After the church was consecrated the bishop came out to conBeorate the churchyard ; then the same band came up with the flags ; they came up playing "God save' the Queen , " and halted at the corner ; After the bishop had gone round the churchyard he
went into the church porch to read the service of c 6 n-8 ocration ; the band then played the Old hundredth psalm ; the people were arraying the banners on the church rails . I saw Hewett plant a banner my self : the . Mayor asked me to go with him and apprehend him . . Wo ; did bo , and the people endeavoured to rescue him ; I saw the defendant in the station' * house afterwajds . He considered it a d——d odd thing . that he could not hire a band and have it play without our interference , and that we had no right to stop bis men on , the highway . Hewett and the people with him acted together : their conduct was such as to alarm persons who might wish to attend the ceremony . ; '¦ : -i-.

: , Cross-examined by Hewett . —You were in front of the baud , and at the head of the procession . Tfiere were several banners ; I told you that you could not como in . The Mayor said you might come in after the consecration . I saw you standing there twenty minutes or half an hour after I told you'ttiat you could not pome in . ; You said the Bishop should not j ^ Oj in unless you we » aduaittad ; the Bishop came up in a quarter of an hour after . I never saw such a rush as that against a church-gate . I saw no stones thrown at him ; there were stones thrown . : You did not resist being taken into cusr tody . I heard you personally insult many persons . I cannot say who they were : they- were clergymen It is not my business to say why you were not admitted . There was a rush on the coach when you were taken . ¦ "' ,-.- V . : - '¦ '¦ ¦¦ '' :-. ¦ ¦ ¦ .. ¦
Sergeant Copeman stated—I attended afc JNew Catton Church on the 16 th of November last . I was there when the Bishop was consecrating the churchyard . After he had been round the churchyard he went to the church , and Hewett and others said , "Now we'll go and consecrate it . " Hewett had a large banner with the inscription of the Bishops ' and others' salaries . Hewett was then taken into custody . Some ladies came up in a carriage , and , observing the crowd , were alarmed . WitRess went lip and said he thought he could make way for them , but they went away . Ten minutes after the Bishop came up . Respectable people could not ; get into the church without the assistance of the police . .:. - . ] ¦ ¦ - ¦ _ ¦ ¦ ..: ¦ ¦ ¦ ' ¦'"¦¦ ¦ - '¦ - ' .. : ¦ ¦ . ' ¦'' . " ¦ ¦ : ' . - ' . ¦¦¦ . . ' By Hewett—You said "Go it , my boys , " when the rush was made to force the gate . The Couax ( to Hewett . )—You said you were going to call witnesses ; what arc you going to prove i Hewitt . —I want to prove that no alarm was created at Catton . : '¦ . ' ¦
Mr . Kitson , respecting this , deposed—I was near the church gate waiting the arrival of the Bishop ; the people Were conducting themselves in a very riotous manner . When the carriage came up there was the same noise and tumult and pushing ; the Bishop had some difHculty in getting into the churchyard . When I entered the church the seats were nearly filled . Persons were » eked to sit down at the steps of the altar . During the reading of the service the congregation rose up in alarm in consequence of the door being suddenly opened , and the service was for a few minutes stopped . The proceedings were such as to terrify the people . It was guite impossible for females to obtain admission intothechurch . By Hewitt . —The band was not playing when the congregation rose . This was the case for the prosecution .
Hewett , in / defence , said , he could not see that there was any charge made out against him , and oiled the act relative to riots . v The Learned Recorder stated , that any proceedings which had a tendency to riot were unlawful , and in summing up explained tbe difference between a riot and a rout—that wnere persons tumultously assemble together for the purpose of doing an unlawful act , and such assembling is accompanied w / th some circumstances of actual violence or is calculated to inspire people with terror , and if they proceed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a riot ; but if they do not proceed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a rout . The Jury . consulted forsome time , and returned a verdict of Not Guilty of a riotj but Guilty of a ront .
The Learned Recordbr then , after remarking that the jury had ibund Hewett guilty of tho minor offence only , and condemning Buph proceedings as took place at Catton , sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months , and to find two sureties after that time of £ 50 each , and be himself bound over in the sum of £ 100 , for his good behaviour for twelve months .

TEN HOURS * FACTORY QUESTION . The Short Time Committee of Bradford , having deemed it desirable , previous to the meeting of Parliament , to give to the body of overlookers in the town and neighbourhood an opportunity of expressing their opinions on the limitation of labour in factories to ten hours per day , invited theni to a public meeting , to be held in the large Sbhool Room connected with Christ Church , on Thursday evening ..: - . - v ¦'¦ ¦ . ¦ "¦ ¦ . '¦¦ - ¦ ¦ . ' ¦" ¦ ¦ : " ; ..., ' : ¦ ¦ ^ t the hour appointed , the meeting being very numerously attended ,
Mr . Balme , Secretary to the Committee , said that it devolved upon him to explain the reason why the Short Time Committee had called the meeting . It was in consequence of frequent representations having been made to the Committee that if the overlookers generally were aware of the proceedings of the Snort Time Committee , they / would come forward and assist them in the obtainment of a further limitation of the hours of labour for young persons employed in factories . ( Hear , henr . ) The Committee had therefore called the meeting for the purpose of laying ' , before it their present position in reference to this interesting question , and had invited their friends , Mr . W . Walker and Mr . TV . Rand , to deliver an account of the interviews they
had lately had in London with several of her Majesty ' s Ministers . He would sit down by moving that the Rev . Mr . Morgan preside over the meeting . ( Hearv ) - ' . . - . .. / ¦'¦ ¦ ' . , - ¦ ' . .... - , ' ' ¦ . ' . Mr . Charles Walker rose to second the proposition , and to express his gratification at again meet iiig Mr , Morgan in connexion with the important question which they were assembled to aavance . ( Hear . ) The Reverend Gen tleiuan had -long evinced a lively interest in ; the amelioration of the factory system , and it was doubtless , pleasing to the company to perceive their venerable friend still at his post of honour and usefulness , endeavouring to promote an object intimately connected with the national peace and prosperity . ( Cheers . ) The Rev . W . Morgan , B . D ., having taken the chair , expressed his readiness to preside over any
meeting having in view the improvement of his fellaw beings , but he had particular pleasure in again helping forward a work calculated , as he conceived the Ten Hours * Bill to be , to benefit the working population of Bradford and its neighbourhood . ( Cheers . ) He would not enter into any argument concerning the question , but leave that province to others who were present . He hprjied , however , that the proceedings of the meeting would be conducted in an orderly manner , and that every opportunity woujd be given for fair discussion . He was glad to find thatthe meeting was favoured with the presenoe t > f Mr . , W . Rand and Mr ; W . Walker , whoj some weeks ago , had sought and obtained interviews with Sir Robert Peel arid other members of the
GorernmeQt , regarding the factory question , and as it was the wish of the Short Time Comriiitteethatthe overlobkerp generally should learn from those gentlemen the particulars of tiiose intarviews , he was glad to find that there existed a willingness to communicate the same . He would , tlierefore , call on one of them to address the meeting . ( Hearv > Mr . W . Walkeb rose and said , that Mr . Wnii iand and himself had been requested by the Short Time Committee to meet them , and the overloaikerB engaged in the factories of Bradford , and its neighbourhood , for the purpose of acquainting those so deeply interested in the important question of limiting the hours of factory labour to ten per day , with the result of their Eeoent interview with her Majesty ' s Ministers . Ke had felt for some time past to seek an
a conviction that he ^ ught opportunity of declaring his sentimeats to the Government , and he sow felt satisfied and thankful that he bad been able to acquit his conscience by discharging the duty . ( Hear . ) Having alluded to the very gratifying reception which Sir Robert Peel and the other members of the Cabinet gave to the subject , and the impression left upon his mind that those high functionaries are desirous of doing ju 3 tice to the youthful factory population , he proceeded to give his decided opinion that ; the question which had so long been before tbe public / was at length woll understood , not only by the employed , bnt by their ! employer ^ also , and that a very general feeling now jreyails amongst all classes that the Ten Hours ' limitation of labour is a just and necessary ¦• asurej

who fully underBtand this question to involve th ^ welfare and happiness of themselTes , their families ' , and the massesof young persons daily working under their care ^ ( Cheers . / Mr . Walker also added that when Mr . Wm . Rand and himself had the honour of waiting npon Sir Jaoies Graham ttey were interrupted by the announcement of some noble lorda being in attendance , which , led ihem to cut short their discussion of the subject , and coneequently they had sought and obtained permission to address » letter to Sir Jamea , going folly into the , question * and answering the strongest objections which haa been urged against . a tea Hours' enactment . ( Hear . > The Short Time Committee had requested to be
allowed to print that lettpr ; but before consenting toithatb ^ ing don e , he ; would rather leave it witu the present intelligent meeting to decide after having heard its contents ; ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Walker then : read the letter , after which it was -unanimously resolved that the letter be printed and circulated . ; /¦ ' - > ' ; . ¦ : '' . /¦ ^ ' '" . . ••/ . ' : - ¦ ¦ ¦ : . ' / ; Mr . William Rand said he was very glad to bear his testimony alon ^ . with Mr . Walkei-g ta ibe kind and considerate manner in which they bad been received by Sir Robert Peel and others / of jber Ma * jesty ' s Ministers , With wborn they had interviews on the factory quekion , but that no words 01 hja could do justice to the deep interest taken in their
cause by Lord Ashley , and tothe admirable « eal and judgment with , which he was conducting ihe manage * ment 6 fi . t , and with whom they had had many gratifying interviews on the subject , he then said thai notwithstanding hg ( Mr . R . ) had not long taken * prominent part in' promoting / the ^ object of a"Tenj . Hours' BilK he had from the Very first most cordially approved of it ; ( Cheers . ) He Was of opinion . thafi it wa , s a measure not only of necessity , but orle ofstrict justice , that itstendency would , in bis judjfj ment , be to increase the number of the employed ^ and that nothing was so undesirable , either for tha prosperity or the peace of the country , aiT to have ) large masses of the people unemployed , even oc « ai
sionally . Mr . Rand also said that he felt quite confident that a largo portion of the ilillowners wha formerly viewed with jealousy and alarm such a limitation of labour , were now , if not the advocates of it , at all events le ^ sa hostile to it , and he believed would take no / steps to oppose it ; he begged , however ; to be permitted to tell them that it was their bounden duty to give credit to many of their opponents for b ' eing influenced by seyero conviction in their former opposition—that this causa was the cause Of justice , and that no : measure of justice could bo retarded in a country like tbia , under the influence of a free press , provided they used only the weapons of sound argument , in a calmatid dispassionate manner , and without imputing motives in any way to their / opponents . ( Cheers . ) That the meeting might rest assured that many of their opponents did in their hearts and
consciences now approve of it , but that it required s large amount of moral courage in men publicly to ackriowledge that they had been mistaken , and that therefore a public avowal of Buch a change of sen . * timent Was hardly to be expected to any extent * ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Rand concluded by saying , that it was his wish , as nodoubt it was the wish of every gentlemanpneair '; .. him , / to hear any ^ objection that might be entertained towards 1 this limitation to tea hours , in order that it might undergo a full discussion before tho meeting committed itself to a petition having that object in VieWi but that whatever disseusions of opinion might be entertained as to tha effect of the measure , he had not the slightest apr prehension of its producing any injurious consequences , whatever ; that it was at once a measure of justice arid humanity , and that he was perfectly wil ? ling to leave the consequences to Divine Providence . ( Loud cheer ?*) / .
' Mr . S . Auty expressed his pleasure that . thelette ? to Sir James Graham had been read to the meeting ^ He : was' sure it wduld be of service . He considered that it ought to be generally read , and , in order that such might be the ' ease , it ought to be printed , and he hoped that theauthors of it would not object to such a course . He proposed that the letter be printed for distribution . . ( Hear , hear . ) An Gyerlpbker seconded the proposition , and ifc was carried unariimcuslyi v .
Mr . C . Walker said that as the meeting appeared to approve strongly of the letter which had been addressed to Sir James Graham—to such a degreeiudeed as to deem it worthy of being printed for tha public eye , he presumed they agreed cordially with the sentiments which were embodied in it , and would be glad to promote its objeot . ( Hear . ) Ha was not aware that , aiiy mode existed of doing this so effectually as by making a public profession of simiJar opinions , and asking the 2 egfelatare to enact such a regulation as was proposed iii the lettet which had been -read to them . In oider that this might be accomplished , he had that moment perused a proposition which he would : submit to tho company , namely- ^ -, " , . ; .-. /'¦ ,. /
"That it isthe opinion ^; of this meeting that Tea Hours per day form as long a period as any person under twenty-one years of age should be required to labour m factories * and that a petition' be presented to Parliament at the earliest opportunity , praying for such a legislatiye regulation , and that thesama be signed by the Chairman in behalf Of the meeting . " . - ¦ , ' ¦// - : ;// v / . ; - \ - -: - . : / . :-: _ ¦ As this proposition was quite accordant with tha sentiments avowed in the letter which had been read he had pleasure ia ' offering it to the iueetin / r . ( Cheers . ) ¦
Mr . S ? ekceb ; rose to second the resolution , and said that if any ministers of the Gospel , or othe ^ persons required ? ' eyidence" that a Ten Hours' Bill is needed , they should ; turn out into the streets afc half-past five in the morning , and see the " living volumes '' ( cheers ) , passing along to their labour afc that early period of the . morning , and then again at half-past seven or eight in the evening witness their departure from the mill , and they could not need any further lesson ; to teach them that this system is
unjustand unnatural . This country boasted of paying high consideration to the female sex , and it waa not unusual to measure tho degree of national ciyiJization by this test . ( Hear . ) But assuredly the factory ^ districts must admit their , being comparativly uncivilised and barbarous , when such destruction of femalo character and happiness were permitted to continue as is now , inflicted by the long hours of factory labour . ( Hear , hear . ) He recommended theni to be united , and not to rest until the Ten Hours ' Bill should be the law of the land . ( Cheers' )
Mr . C . WALkEB again roso and said thiBit . it was important that no difiirence of opinion should exist in reference either to the sentiments or phraseology of the petition which the meeting had determined to address to \ Parliainettt . He was anxious that so numerous and intelligent a company should hava submitted to thenn the entire address which it waa proposed to transmit to the legislative assembly ( Hear . ) He said that themain p jeot of their solicitude was fully developed in the address which he had read to them . That object Was the obtainment of a legislative decree , that no person under twentyone years of age should be allowed to work in any factory more than ten hours per day . ( Hear , hear . ) Heqongratnlated the Chairman that so numerous a company should be found assembled in that room to express so reasbnable and just a request . It waa
evident that the work which they had met to promote was growingin the estimation of an intelligent community . Every opportunity had been ' rendered oa tha t occasion for discussing any difficulties that might exist , in reference to a Ten Hours' Bill , but happily they all appeared converted to its favour , and were willing to remedy as much as possible their former supineness . ( Hear ) If any persons were qualified to judge correctly on the question at issue , surely it was fight to ; attribute that ability to the present company .: Nearly all of them were day after day engaged in factory pursuits . They understood thoroughly all its features and interests , and although tew comparatively had previously engaged in tho ooniiics , yet this evening they had met to do theit duty by resolving to aid , as far as possible ; in tho obtainment of the Ten Hours * Bill . ( Hear , hear . > He begged to propose the adoption of the petition . ( Cheers ) : ¦ •;¦¦ ... : ' 1 . - ///; .: ' -- ///; ¦ ¦ . . - . ;¦ ' . : / -
