      MESSRS . CROW AND TYRELL beg to calf the attention of the Chartist Public to the BEVERAGE prepared by them , as a Cheap and Wholesome substitute for Taxed Coffee . Its nutritious qualities are equalled by none in the Market ; while its mode of Preparation renders it vastly superior to the Trash offered for Sale by those who regard not the health of the Consumer . As a means of supporting the ! " Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , " and as a means o ( crippling the Governmental Exchequer , it may be made a ready and powerful weapon in the hands of the Sons of Toil , j A single Trial will prove its superiority over other Preparations of like pretensions .

D ; " addressed tbe meeting for opwards of an hour upon ; tbe cause of the present distress of the country , and j the best remedy , in a clear and arguirentative manner , ! to the entire satisfaction of his hearers , and Eat

      down amid tbe plaudit of assembly . The Chairman ! then called upon Mr . Pixon to address the 'meeting . He called the attention of the metting to tbe viiioas occurrences of tie past year in connection with tbe Chartist movement , and hoped that they all i would a" 3 t up tbeii acconnta , and when they found that they had neglected their dnty in tbe year that wa 9 past , that iu the present one -which they were commencing they would double their exertions in the cawe of human freedom . Mr- D . then called theii attention to tbe support of the Kor therx and Evening Stars , and the nertssity of supporting them and endeavouring to incre ? -5 e their circulation ; and stated that if each locality wonld take five Evening Stan-pat day , that it wonJd livs and be & powerful engine in the Chartist movement , and sis to tbe great Northern luminary , they all as well as him knew Us worth , and knowing , apit

John Murray was unanimously called to the chair . Mr . Leacb was received with the plaudits of tbe meeting , and gave a brief but faithful account of the business done at the Conference , and concluded by stating that it would be a pie > ce of injustice in him to occupy more of their time , as there were present two gentlemen

      from Scotland , who had not the opportunity of addressing a Manchester audience as frequently as he nad ; and , as they had had an account of the Conference in the paper , ne would sit down and make way for his Scotch friends . The Chairman then introduced Mr . Kidd , from GlasEOW , who rose amid tbe cheers of the meeting , which continued for several seconds . Mr . Kidd addressed the meeting for an hour and a half in an eloquent and argumentative manner , and retired amid thunders of applause . The chairman then called upon Mr . Con Murray , of Glasgow , who ako addressed the meeting for hilf an houT , and ably refuted the many charges brought against the Chartibts of England and Scotland , by interested parties , who have endeavoured to instil into the minds of the people of Ireland , that the working classes of these cocfitries were the enemies of the working classes of that unfortunate country . He conclnded by an

      earnest appeal to the working men present to destroy these country distinctions , and unite in the agitation for the Charter , which would make Englishmen , Irishmen , Scotchmen , and Welshmen , what they ocght to be ^ —great , glorious , and free . Mr . Murray retired amid the rap : urous cheers of the meeting . A person then said that he had a question to ask Mr . Leach if it wonld be allowed . The chairman called him to the platform . The question was as follow * : — " Was it not distinctly understood , that the Conference was called for the purpose of takiDg into consideration the bill prepared by the Council of the Complete Siiffirage Union ? aud snch being ihe ea = * , the Complete Suffrage party were justified in leaving the Conference , when they found that the bill W 3 S refused . " This question being replied to by Messrs . Leach and Dixon , the thanks of the meeting were given to Mr . Kidd and Mr . Murray , and also to the chairman , and the meeting separated .

      ajrainst being led away from the present agitation for the Charier "for any measure of reform which does not go to the root of their political evils . " Mr . Moore moved , and Mr . Statham seconded the following resolution , which was also carried unanimously : — " That in consonance with the aforesaid resolution , this Association ardently hoj . « j that our Chartist brethren will not interrupt the meetings and proceedings of the middle classes in favour ot their bill of political reform , being convinced that tbe progress of just principles and the political salvation of our Buffering countrymen will be b « st secured by each party running in parallel lines towards one great object , embracing all the esoentia ) points of jusi representation . "

      The Gbekxwich akd Deptfobd Chartists met as usual at their meeting house , Lewisham-road , when the following resolution was agreed to : — " That we , the Chartists of Greenwich and Deptiord , deeply lament the conduct of Ruffy Ridley in bringing the conduct of Mr .

      Death from taking Absenic— On Monday evening , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of Robert Simpkin . who died in the Infirmary oti Saturday evening , from tha < ffects of arsenic . The deceased was a waterman , and , from the evidence of a young man named George Register , it appeared that he came from Wisbeach , in Cambridgeshire , that he had been here about a fortnight , that he was of intemperate habits , and that he had left the vessel in which he came here . Oth . Hr witnesses deposed that he had been drinking at a beer house in York street , called the St . Jame $ ' Inn , and at the Royal Oak , in Kirkgate , on Monday night , until about elnven o ' olock , at which hour he went to a house of ill-fame in York-street , kept by Elizabeth Higgins , at which

      place he stopped all night . He was known to h * ve purchased sonio arsenic at Mr . Btll ' s , in Kirkgate , on Monday evening , and it would appear that during the early part of Tuesday morning he had mixed a portion of this in water and pwallowed it . He was taken ill , and in the course of the afternoon Mr . Radcliffd , surgeon , was called in , who found the deceased vomitting , and labouring under symptoms of having taken poison . He was then removed to the Infirmary , where he expired , as stated , on Saturday Bight , after having t « l < l Mr . AJlanson , the House surgeon , that he had taken poison . There was no evidence to show that the deceased had exhibited symptoms of insanity , and the Jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of " Felo de so . " He was twenty-five years of aee .

      Colliery Steam Boiler Explosion at Messrs . Joshua Bowur&Co . ' s , Ah-ekto * Main Colliery . —On Saturday last , about noon , in consequence of the * inattentiou and carelessness of tho engine man neglecting to shut off the steam and furnish a sufficient supply of water to the boiler , a most awful explosion took place , and the boiler was lifted off its seat and carried into the air to tho supposed height of 200 yartls , and : fell in an adjoining field , nearly 100 yards from its original place . I ion aud slates , bricks and stones ftVw about in all directions , and covered the yard , orchard , and adjoining fields for a distance of 250 yards . The windows and doors of the workshops , cottages , and counting-houso wore all blown in and shattered to pieces , and what is

      more remarkable , a shower of bricks , iron , and stones , wei e thrown through one of the cottage windows , across the house hi a slanting direction , whero tha family were seated in an opposite corner at dinner ; the inmates were knooked down and bruised , the clock-case and the cupboard with its coutents were destroyed . The most dreadful part of the affair is , the serious injury done to two of the colliers who wore in the yard , ( if the Bccident had occurred a quarter of an hour sooner , four teen men might have been destroyed as they were leaving their work . ) One old man of the name of Firth , had hi * thigh broken by some of the missiles from the boiler , and was conveyed to his house , and immediately attended by the surgeon , but it id

      feared ho will be unable to work any more . Another man had his skull dreadfully fractured , and was otherwise mangled in a shocking manner , but it in hoped he will recover , and b 3 able again to attend his work—he has a family of six children .

      Atrocious Homicide in Hampshire . —ComUTttal iv 'Fourteen Pebso . vs . —Southampton , Wednesday , Jan . 4 . —A frightful case of aeath , occasioned by violence , and accompanied by circumstances of great brutality , has excited painful interest in the town andjneighbourhood o ? Roinsey , near this town , during the past and present week . The sufferer was James Sayago , a robust old man , of the ago of seventy years , who had been nearly half that time in the employ of one master , Mr . Webb , of Lee , and in whose serjvice he continued till the day of his death . The particulars were , that the deceased and his three sons attended a shooting-match at a bepr-shop , at a place called Toothill , near Romsey , on Monday , the 26 th of December , when some dispute arose , and a

      general skirmish ensued between the Lee men and ( including the deceased and his s ^ ns ) a number of individuals from Romsey aud other places , in the course of which the deceased was knocked down and received some sharp blows in the fine , but was not seriously hurt . The disturbance was 30 on quelled by the landlord , and the combatants separated , after which the Lee men returned indoors , where they sat drinking ( ill the evening , and the other party went away . A portion of the latter , however , afterwards assembled , at another beershop , the Rose aud Crown , k *> pt by "William Mason , at a place called Ashfield , about , a quarter of a mile from Toothill , where thty sat drinking in the tap-roora , while a dance was going on in the

      opposite room . ; Unfortunately , between six and seven o'clock in the evening , a number of the Lee men wont from Toothili to Ashfield , where they came in collision wijth the other party , and a tremendous affray took ptaoft in the tap-room for about a quarter of an hour . fat the conclusion of which the deceased was carried out of doors in a state of insensibility , from which he never recovered , and eaily on the Wednesday ! morning , about 36 hours a ' ter the termination of the affray , he breathed his last , A highly respectable ljury , consisting of fourteen of the principal inhabitants of Romsey , assembled as the Fox Inn in that ( town on the following morning , before Mr . Todd , one of tbe county coroners ,-to investigate tbe oircumstanews of th « case , a duty which

      occupied them four entire days . The depositions of eighteen witnesses were taken in the course of the inquiry , and the jury after a short consultation , returned a verdict of " Manhlaughter" against the following individuals : —Edwin Martin , George Rose , the I elder , George Rose , the younger , William Riose , George Emery , Richard " Emery , Henry Martin , Moses Presley , James !] Emery , John Hose , Thomas Rose , Charka Presley , Charles Mason , and { Tbonias Holloway .

      a . Appray at Rochfster . —On Sunday evening last several soldiers belonging to the provisional battalion of Chatham garrison , and a proportionate number of civilians of Rochester , began to ¦ fiKht , causing considerable uproar in the streets : upwards of two hundrV d people collected round the publichouse calltd ; the Lord Nelson , at which , house the disturbance broke out . Information having been forwarded tQ the police , assistance was sooii at hand , and , on entering the public-house , upwards of fifteen persons were found seriously wounded . Sotnc of the soldiers' heads were covered with blood , from the blows of p > kers » , Ac . One of the civilians , named Dutnell , it was stated , was so seriously wounded

      that his life is in danger : he wa = ? carried to a bouse in Crow-lane and put to bed . The superintendent of police , Mr . JTuff , having obtained the assistance of several persons , succeeded in securing ten of the soldiers and one civilian at the station-house . The party gave their names as follows : Joseph Fcnning , labourer , H . Brooker , J . Spinder , Wm . Roberts , E . Collett , of the 4 th , or King ' s own Regiment ; Termice O'Nti ) , Edward Kearns , Lazarus Cox , of the 28 h Regimeait ; William Jones , of the 55 th ; Williana Smith , of the 26 th ; Charles Briggs , of ' the 42 nd ; and William Paul , of the 79 th Highlanders . The whole of the soldiers were allowed to leave tbe station , under ] the charge <> f a sergeant and guard , with the understanding to be produced when called

      upon by the ipagiscrates . On Monday morning , at eleven o ' clock , jthe rnayor , Edmund Buck , Esq , assisted by two ] magistrates , Mr . John Batten and Captain G . G . iJurton , held a special court' , for the purpose of investigating the outrago . Private Charles Briggp , of the 4 h Regiment , was cha > ged with others in aiding and abetting the above , when the evidence of several persons who were in-the taproom drinking iwhen the row commenced was taken down in writing by the Justices ' clerk . Such evj dence went to ; prove that the soldiers rushed into the tap-room , } and commenced an indiscrimi nate attack on them , and they , in return , attacked the soldiers , cutting into them , and thereby driving them from the plice . Private Charles Brings , of the 4 th iment

      Reg , the prisoner , stated the disturbance arose first betweeu a woman and a soldier named Collett . ! Collett , it appeared , had been in the Lord Nelson on ^ Sunday evening , the 25 th of Dec and , having had a pot of beer , he gave a woman a anilling to pay for the driuk . The woman then refused to give him the change . The same woman brought in the beer last evening , aud Collett asked her tor his chahge , when she said she would see Collett first . Collett then knocked her down , and the row corhmenoed . The magistrates said that as one mau ' s Hfo was despaired of , they should adjourn the inquiry , and they inducted their clerk to write immediately to Sir Thomas Willshire , comrnandfjnt of Chatham garrison , respecting the outrage . ¦ » -

From the colonies there are reported 2 , 626 qrs of Wheat , and 1 , 360 qrs of Beans . The business of the week has been on a very moderate scale ; holders of Wheat , however , firmly demanding the full prices quoted in our report , these have been realized on tha sales that have occurred . No change in the value of

      Flour ; fresh imported Canadian 26 s 6 d to 27 d 64 per barrel . Oats have given way ^ d per b ushel : at ye .-t ; rday ' s market , the best mealing ware sold at 2 * 5 i per forty-five lbs .

      Manchester Corn Markst , Saturday , Dec . 31 —A fair amount of business has been done in Flour daring ihe week , consumers having reduced theii stocks , ¦ and , although nu actual advaace in prices could be obtained , the transactions were at full ; previous rates . For Oatmeal an improvement hi feeling may be noted , but none in value could be realised . The supplies from Ireland continue on a very liberal scale ; those of British produce elsewhere and from the interior are only Jo a moderate amount . There was very little passing at our market this morning , and only a slender attendance of buyers . No variation can be made in th © quotation of any article , and the sales made were altogether for present use .

      London Corn Exchange , Monda y , Jan . 2 . — Since this day se ' nnight the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market have been on a very limited scale ; and fresh up to-day an unusually small sup ply of that article came to hand from Essex , Suffolk , and Kent . The condition of the Wheat of homo produce being somewhat improved , the stands scan * tily filled with samples , and the attendance of both London and country buyers numerous , the demand for all descriptions was brisk , at an advance , in the currencies noted on Monday last , of from Is to 2 « per quarter , and a good clearance was readily effected . We had a decidedly better inquiry for fina

      Foreign Wheat at arise of from Is t" > 2 i per quarter ; while more money was asked and obtained for bonded parcels , with a firm sale . There wa 8 a full average supply of Barley offering , which moved of somewhat steadily , at about stationary prices . The best Ware Malt was quite as dear , but all other sorts were a mere drug . From Ireland , as well aa our own coasts , a large quantity of Oats has been received . The best potatoe sorts were quite as dear ; in other kinds exceedingly little was passing . Beans and Pea 9 were very dull , but not cheaper . The best town-made Flour commanded more attention , but country marks were again very dull .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , Jan . 2 . —The arrivals of beasts , put up for to day ' s market from the whole ' of our grazing districts , were , as might , be anticipated , on a very moderate scale , yet their condition was tolerably good , especially as relates to those from Lincolnshire and Norfolk . From abroad the imports of stock , have been again scanty ; and the supply on offer here this morning was composed of only five oxenYrom Portugal , and six ditto from Spain , the quality of whioh was exceedingly inferior , and the Hghest figure obtained for them did not exceed £ 13 pee head . Owing to the large attendance of buyers , the Beef trade was somewhat renovated , and in the transactions the prices noted

      on Monday last were snpported—the priraest Scota selling freely at from 4 s 4 d to 4 s 6 d per 8 lbs , and a good clearance was readily made by the salesmen . The numbers of Sheep were on the increase , which had a depressing influence upon the ' idranand for them and the rates were , generally speaking , lower However , the primest old Downs being scarce , they realized from 4 s 44 to 4 s 6 d per 81 bs ; but the latter figuro was not obtained , it must be understood , only for the very best descriptions . Calves were iu scanty supply , and sluggish inquiry , at last week's

      currencies . In Pigs little was doing , at barely stationary prices . We had on sale nearly 200 Pigs by eea from Dublin and Cork . There were about fifty Lambs brought forward . From our northern grazing courtiea , we received to-day , 1 , 300 short horns , rnDts , &j . , from Norfolk , 300 Scots and homebreda ; from , Sussex , Essex , and Cambridgeshire , 200 horned and polled Scots ; from our Western and Midland di » . tnets 2 t > 0 Herefords , runts , Devons , and Irish beast'j from other parts of England 100 of different breeds ; from Ireland , via Liverpool , forty Irish beasts ; and from Aberdeen , by steamers , fifty Scots .

      WAKEFIELD CORN MAJ tKET . Friday , Jan . 6 . —The year 1842 which has just closed , has been one of more sever loss to the Corn Trade than has almost ever ber , known at any former period , and the suffering thereby occasioned will probably be felt for some t \ m& to come .

      STATE OF THE NOTTINGHAM TRADE . It is somewhat painful to state , that the principal manufacturer engaged in the silk blond trade , has stopped most of his frames worked by the hand ; but the rotary frames that are tended by apprentices are still going , having a few men to superintend them . We understand that Rome small number of hand frames are yet retained , but at a reduction of one-sixth of the gro 3 s wages , which is one third of the price paid three years since , and scarcely one-tenth of what has been heretofore paid \ in this branch . The extreme cheapness of this article , it is alleged , has caused it to go out of ; fa-hion , the price paid for workmen being about a I halfpenny per square yard . I Tne bobbin net branch is in much the same state '

      that it has been in for 6 ome weeks past . New I fancy patterns are belling freely at fair prices ; old ; patterns are those that are not of the first style , and are dull of sale , though we believe that little or no stock is making ; indeed those days in fancy net seem to be past , the machine owners generally acting upon the French system of " no longer sell , no longer make . " The plain bobbin net powjer factories are gradually filling with boys , the owners " hoping that the difference of the wages may yield : them a profit ; in short ., every expedient is tried to I prop up this falling description of machinery , which ] it was conceived in 1832 and 1833 would supersede all others ; huudreds of Levers and other machines , having since that period been sold for old iron . No trade has suffered so much as the bobbin net , from one description of machinery superseding another , since twist and platt net were first made at Croydon and Longhborongh .

      The silk glove branch is not by any means improved , though a many fancy articles have been introduced , principally from the truck machine , which in imitation of'he Leicester trade , the hands are paying some attention to- The silk knotted branch , notwithstanding the hopes from Spain is unimproved with the exception of the low priced order . ' The cut-up branch is somewhat better in demand , bnt not so to be in want of hands ; ia many instances the charges made to the workmen amount to half tne gross wages , whilst a man must make ten dozen of ptockingBper week to earn a bare maintenance . We believe that the cotton wrought hose branch is a shade betttr in some of the villages . A report ha * been iu circulation of large orders from China , but we cannet trace it to any authentic source .

      The fancy cotton hose branch , of the finest qualities , is the most hcahby in the trade , the hands being tolerably employed , at fair wages . The silk branch , of the same description , has been for a long time in a depressed state .
