That although Jnstices of the .

Sutcliffe , theEx-Offido Chairman , on that occasion , who took upon himself individually to decide all matters in dispute , contrary to the decision of a majority of the Guardians present , was illegal and contrary to the order of the Poor Law Commissioners , contained in the second annual report , page 81 ? No . 2 ; and your Memorialists must express their entire concurrence in the sentiments contained
in snch rpport , page 555 , that " it would be extremely unfitting to submit men , freely elected by their fellow-citizens , to the controul of individual magistrates— a feeling of independence is absolutely Het-essary to the manly discharge of public duty ; any system of interference , is a mockery of freedom childish in conception , arbitrary and debasing in effect .

That your Memorialists have read with surprise a copy of a Memorial , dated second of April instant , presented to you by six of the inhabitants of JEudderxfield , reflecting upon tbe conduct of some of of your Memorialists , and your Memorialists declare that such reflections are unfounded aspersions upon the persons referred to .

x cur Memonahsts tberfore pray that instructionmay be given to your Memorialists , how to act in reference to Cumberworth Lower , and whether the Union can be considered as properly formed until notice be given to that place to elect one Guardian , and in the event of no notice being given , how are the expenses of forming the Union , &c , to be appointed , and amongst what townships ; also whether or not the elected Guardians ought to have been summoned to attend their first meeting on the 9 th instant , instead of an adjourned meeting , from the 26 th day of March ; also , whether tbe disputed cases of election of Guardians for .
Huddersfield , Lock-wood , Lintbwaite , Meltham ,. &c ., are ro be decided by a majority of the elected Guardians , or by tbe ex-officio Guardians only ; and also whether or cor , under the circumstances detailed in this Memorial , the election of Mr .

MEETING AT HUDDERSFIELD . —FACTORY QUESTION . On Saturday evening last , a larcie meeting was convened in lie PbUosophic ; il ilali , Huddersfield , for the purpose of petitioning and Tens . on .-trating with Parliament on tLe Factory Bill now before the Hon .-e of Commons . The flail was well filled with attentive listeners , wbo were chiefly of those who feel an interest in tbe question . The meeting was called by tbe constable , at the instance of a numerously signed requisition . Mr . Haley was unanimously called to the chair , and commenced the business ol the evening by reading the placard announcing the meeting .
Mr . Stocks moved the first resolution . He said be bad hoped tb »* y would not be under the necessity of again coi ^ iderl- g this question . He had hoped that the old act would by this time have worked out its own cure , as the very people who obtained that act obtained it with tbe express hope that it would not work at all , and that the people of the manufacturing districts would soon be tired of its workings . Bur in this they had fnnnd themselves mistaken ; for not only had that bill bee n acted upon , ana agitation ceased as the consequence of it , but it was now attempted to bring forward another bOl—certainly tbe oddest bill that was ever exhibited in the world—a bill withont a head . ( Laughter . ) M was tbe most absurd and compl . cated measure
imaginable . . Not one of his acquaintance , so far as he had yet conversed with them , could at all understand it . Some of the manufacturers in Lancashire affected to understand this measure , for they thought that some of its clauses would be more stringent than those of the last bill ; and they were therefore endeavouring to introduce clauses to repeal tbe restrictions of Lord Altliorpe ' s Act , and thus to restrict the duties of the inspectors so that they ( the manufacturers ) might be allowed to go on as they liked . ( Hear , bear . ) They did not approve of the present act , because it was too severe upon them , and they were desirous of having the restrictions done away witb , so that they might proceed as they pleased , and in such a way that the public will not know of their
yiU-any and oppression to half the extent to which it is now known . ( Hear , hear . ) He would say also tbfit if this bill was at all understood , it went to take away the education of the children , which was now par tially , and only partially imparted ; if , therefore , the proposed bill were carried the people would remain in . a state of greater ignorance than they are at present and If was his opinion , that every man who-wishes well to society most desire a system of education for the factory " children superior to that wMch they now enjoy . Jt was well known that it was impessible fora nation to be virtuous without edncaiicn . It became therefore a doty to make fcaowD their sentiments to the Government , that the opportunities of education now enioved bv the
childrm migat not be taken away but increased ( Hear , hear . ) But as this odd bill had come from the oddest house that ever existed in the world or eveT made laws for a nation—for they have always t <» repeal either a whole or a p * rf of their measures when th ? y are brought into o peration , and thus with " their amendments , and re-amendment they puzzle both , the people and the lawyers , — -we should endea Your to make an amendment in the system ao usioenable us to get those men into that 'Tfonse-who would make laws so thai tbe people could tmderftand them and pu t ftem into -practice . ( Hear . ) ' He said that &t present we were in . a inj > st critical jjteaiienT Kererwas there a conntryiji any former . period of of time in the same situation os our conhtiy . -1 ^ present was the stillness and calm that usuallypre ceieB the stonm "He then proceeded ^ . fo " enter « t length into the canses of the present diftressedlitafe
of trade , and" observed ihat a ten honrss' hiu was the only remedy , becanse it-was « nt of the natnte < jf thiags , and apart from the intention of providence that they should be sutyected toaoch excemre labor as that to which they were at present obliged ia sntrmit . ( Hear , hear . ) : Policy dictated the rol ^ r of manufacturing such large stocks of foodr"that our foreign customers could not take them off our hands ; aud _ the consequence of this ~ was a eonhnnal lessening of wages . The reduction of wages of conrse reuueed the consuming powers of " our own nation since the people were not in a coadrdjoiuiii conspqnence oTtbwrlow wages , to purchase the-goods whicli they themselves had manufactured . If r 3 ierefore , we had a Ten Hours' -Bill , foreign nations would be better customers , and we- should -get more bv them than we do at present for it was a fact , that we were now prodnjing goods cheaper than . ' any other nation iu & *? world . " He tlieiveutered into the bislory of the yam trade , especiall y with reference

to France and Germany , and adverted to d » fact that the members of the hiien trade had memorialised Government to interfere with respect to France . He then referred to the great improvements in science , in conseqtrence of which : he waaTof opinion that the hapjmegs of inaokind shonld ^ thereby be greailj-increased , instead of tbi « , however , the advantages of science geeined only to be enjoyed ty a very limited number . He said that a great quan titv of gold was -weekly being exported from the country , and nnlees the professors of cheaxiatrytould find out a scheme for taming every thiDgtp gold , as tke alchymists of old thonglit they wonld be able . to do , we should still be more wretchedly goor thaa ever . A creat deal was said by the opponfirrtrof thfi
Ten Hours'Bill about « poilingour foreign tra 4 e . ;* i $ was his opinion , ho . wever , tiiat , whatever might be the advantages , of tie foreign trade , no goods ^ snonld be exported until every man , woman , aod child was well fed , well housed , and weil clothed . ( He . ar , hear , and loud cheers . ) Such was ibrmerly the case ; and the reason why it was not so now was the long and complex and unmeaning acts of Parliament which were now made only to make fools of the people . He would mention to them an act of Parliament which was passed in the year , 1359 . It was simply ihia : — "Be enacted that tliere shall be assembled a Parliamentpnce _ * year or oftener if need be . " There was no mystery in thitJ A ct of Parliament ; and he would recommend the people to : endeavonr to
obtain acts of this kind ; or it they had no prospect of having them from the present Parliament i to see if they could not obtain representatives that would pass acts of this description . He need not say however , that legislation at present was entirely for the protection ot the rich , and that whenever they wanted a bill proposing favourable to the poor , they were treated with the most sovereign contempt . Did they , for example , want the Poor Law Amendment Act repealing : they were treated with the greatest indignities , Did they want the factory question amiably settled , —they were despised as fools arid agitators . In short , whenever the people wished even to prevent the passing of a bad law , they could scarcely obtain & hearing even in what was called
their own house . ( Hear , hear , near . ) Formerly when a member of Parliament had a petition to present , it could be done at any time or under any circumstances , but it was net so now j they must be presented before a certain hour of the . day when few , very few of those who called themselves representatires wwepresent . ( Hear , hear . ) He then adverted in strong and expressive terms . to the disgraceful conduct of some of the members of the Upper House as mentioned in our last week ' s paper . He said shame on tlie senators of Great Britain , that tbey should laugb . at the calamity of the people and the poor . Could they ever expect the blessing of-the Almighty to rest upon them while they conducted themselves in such a disgraceful manner ? ( No , - no . ) Had these men ever been in the habit of reading
their bibles they would have found that the Almighty from one end of that book to tbe other , condemns and denounces the oppressor . ( Hear , hear . ) lie did hope that such au expression of popular feeling would be raised . throughout the country in reference to these laughing Lords , that they would never be induced to laugh again . ( Hear * hear . ) But in returning to the object of the present meeting , lie would state it to be " either that the present Act of Parliament . should stand as it is , without any alteration , or that it be changed for nu eflicient Ten Hours' Bill . " ( Loud cheers . ) That was what they thonght would be the best course . A Ten Hours' Bill would doobtless be the best thing for th « country . He concluded his address by exhorting the middle
class to join the people in their claims for justice , because , as he said , it must be evident to them that in proportion as the labouring population Were in good circnmslances in thesauie proportion would tliey be in better cirenmstances ; for the more that the labouring population had to spend , the greater would be the profits and advantages of theihiddle class . Feeling therefore tbe importance of the subject he should conclude by moviMg the following resolution : —" That as * in consequence of many j'ears incessant agitation on the part of the Factory Workers and their friends to secure efficient legislu- tive protection , Parliament did , at the instigation of a number of mill-owners , enact a Statute , Commonly known by the name ot' Lord Althorpe ' s Act ,
evidently to thwart the advocates of a ten nonr . s ' . bill- ; this meeting ,- —conscious that the attempt now made to repeal the Factories' Regulation Act of 1 S 33 , and substitute in its place a bill which gives no security for the education of the young-children j and which / provides no tioie for the instruction of tbe younger persons above thirteen years of age , do argae dishonesty as well as inconsistency on the part of the authors and abettors of the present scheme who pretend , to settle the question in 1833 , —resolves that the present attempt calls for the opposition of all the friends of tbe factory operatives who are desirous of protecting tbe moral and intellectual character , as well as the physical health of the children . "
Mr . James Brooke seconded tbe resolntidn . He said this was no new subject to the men of Hudderdfield , and its rieighbourhoodi Ifwasoite which had long been under their consideration , and with which they were all well acquainted . It appeared that the manufacturers were sick of their own measure , and were anxious to get rid of itas soon as they could . The present Factory Act was passed with the view of wearying the country but of the Factory Question altogether ; the originators of it thought it would be wholly impracticable ; and that tbe people , becoming tired of iu ftffects upon them , would join in a call i ' or its repeal ,: and that thus , in a very fewyearsy the system would be allowed to go on as it had hitherto done . However , tbe manufacturera had been caught
in their own trap : and they were now caliing * upon Parliament to lenve them at liberty to do ; va they please . < Hear , hear . ) They were all well awnre that unless some restrictions were placed upon the hoars of labour , with our present improved macbinery , the whole fabric of society would crumble into ruins , by whicli we should be involved in the most complete wretchedness . ( Hear , hear . ) It was as plainly evident as that two and two make four , that if the hours of labour were not restricted , over production would be tiu > consequence ; overproduction would glut the markets ; and the necessary consequence of glntted markets would be a reduction in the amount of wages ; for tbe manufacturer not being able to get a remunerating price for his goods ,
he must consider how he can get the same goods produced for less money , and he then invariably thinks of doing so b y lowering the wages of the workman . Wage ? being reduced , the workman , is less able to purchase the productions ot raamifac tnre , while the same productions are considerably increased ; and thus the system was cutting two ways . Thousands of workpeople would , in consequence , starve to death ; and , in the end , it would work npon the ritals of capitalist ? themselves , and a general bankruptcy would be the consequence . Novr . ifthe mannfacturers and the aristocracy were at all alive to their own interests , they would come forward and assist the people in putting the system of manufacturers upon such a basis as would ensure
the prosperity and the good of the community at large . Instead of doing this , however , government was abont to alter the present bill . A combination was formed among the manufacturers of Lancashire to destroy every thing valuable , both in the present act and in the draft now before Parliament . This combination was established cli . eiiy at Manchester , and the parties had their committees in differeut parts of the twocounties . Their object was to aetid a deputation to London to state the case ; and , it the working people were not alive to their own interests , the manufacturers would succeed in accomplishing their own purposes , and in destroying even the educational clause of the present draft . He regretted that in consequence of the expense it
would mcnr , _ the _ poor people could not also have their deputations in London ,-a * -well as the manufacturers ; and if the factory labourers were thrown in thecase , that , hebelieved , would principally be the cause . If such were the fate of their applications for redress , it would only afford an additional proof that the present legislature legislates only for tke wealthier classes of society , while they entirely forget the poor . ( Hear , hear , and cheers . ) The resolution vas unanimously carried . Mr . R . Bdcitanan then proposed the second resolution , in the absence of Mr . Oastler , wLo was to have proposed it , but was prevented from beiug present inconsequence of severe illness . He ^ said this question had been reasoned so often , and the
advocates of a Ten Honrs' Bill had brought the question bo often before the public , producing the bestbf _ reasons on the grounds of pohucal econbrny mortality , and justice , which , had never been rehite 4 , that it was nnnecessary for him to enter into the question . Ten hours labour per day were more than : sufficient for any human beiug ; especially consideri . "g the improvements of machinery , whicn ongHt- to bare materially diminished the hours of Abour . Instead , hpweTer , of this being the case , the hbiiTB of labour had been increased ; and therefore the only means whicli could by any po « ability ¦ ecure to the . productive classes of " society any amonnt . of pfofi ^ was by restrictihg tbe hburp ^ of lalwur ,. By thla restriction , c 6 mpetition , . in labour wout [ b «* edocedj and wages would cohiebD ^ tftly t »« li 8 ed . A ' Ten Hours' Billought ^ Aerefole , to

HUDDERSFIELD . WHIG METHOD OF . CARKYINO THE POOR 1 < AW-AMEND
- : ¦ ; - / ¦ - . . . . ¦ " -,-MENT ; ' ACT . V . ' . . ¦ " . ¦ On ! Monday last , a : meetin « of Vhe Guardians of the Huddersfield Union was held in the Court-house , and , as far as language can describe the scene which occurred , we shall place the proceedings before our readers . Eleven o ' clock was the hour appointed for commencing business . The unconstitutional Guardians ( for by that name we must designate the Whigs ) took their places before the time . The constitutional Gnardians arrived in a body at eleven o ' clock precisely . Upon the appearance of the latter , the uncohstitutionaiists saw that defeat was inevitable . A Mr . Sydney Moorhouse was hastily thrust into the chair ; when he instantly proceeded to read from a book the names of the Guardians in a tone inaudible even to those who
s ( oo 1 within twoyardsof him . He ran through thelist as quick as agoose could gabbleynot waiting for a single answer . This ceremony being over , he , or some of the unconstitutioiialists , moved that the meeting ' stand adjourned to that day fortnight . He never attempted to put the question to the vote , but was about to leave the beiich with the minute-book , when one of the constitutional Guardians seized it . Hereupon a scene which cannot well be described took place . ¦ The Whigs were dragjsdng one way ; with a saintly looking person like a reporter assisting them 5 wbil : * the Itadicals held their ground ,- " iiuitstuigv not that they sbonld have tiw book , but that Mr . MoorhoiiBe should not leave t % e court with it . Previously to the
book being seizeA we should obsewe , that Mr . Cooke was unanimously voted to the chair , and Mr . Moorhouse wiw ejected . '¦;• ¦ ami'the Coustitutional Gujardians insistetl / upoiu proceeding with the •¦¦¦ bu siness , for which m ^ iny had > CQine a long distance . After the scuffl ^ iiad \ ast / aiov a short tiuie , the spectators becaniSleilragedl ^ and with one tjeneral rush were proceeding totafte the bench by storm , when Mri . reargns ( XC ^ mior mad e his way through the crowd , rushed to the thickest part of the fight , and succeeded in rescuing the book from the hands ol the belligerentsjand restoring perfect order . A long uiiprofititble , and angry discussion ; now took place , which viided iu a '; ' , proposition' to reinstate Mr . Moorhouse in tbe chair , ajid to proceed with the
business ; the oner was indignantly rejected , howeverybut the reader must understand why . It was rejected , then , because the Ex-Qfficios were absi'Ut , aud the Whigs saw' the certainty of defeat . And thus , by as insolent , mean , shabby , and illegal an attempt , as ever was practised , they ende . ivoured to eflect-DY stratagein , what they failed to acccomplLsn by legal means . ; After some idle boasting , the " discomfited Gwardian . s left the bench in dudgeon ';" when the constitutionalists proceeded to the business of the day with much propriety , decorum , and impartiality . It was their buriineys to decide upon all tUe'dispu'ted elections , whicli they ( lid by disposing of those cases which were supported by documentary evidence , and the . evidence of the vparish ' -officers ';
and whenever this evidence wasiijsuflicient , they ap * pointed a conlrnitteesof seveiij a ^ cordiiig to theCouimiiwioners' insrtuct ; oHs ^ 'to hear evidence , and to debide accordingly . In order toprove that the constitutional Guardians had nruca the advantag . ; of tbeir opyonents , itisouly necessary to say , that instead ot seatiug ; three ot ' their own friends ( which in our opinion they miglit with justice have done ) they reserved the cases ; for tie coihniitu-e in order that tlie opposing parties should have an opportunity of meeting the several charges . Nay , mpre , they appointed a committee whicn consisted of t ' our whosaid the cases were doubtful and of three who would 1 seat theDe-vil .. tocarry the law . The board then proceeded to dispose of the
reinaining . business .. " They rescinded a former resolution makivig tbe Leeds Mercury and the Hulifuj Ewpi'ess the - . only advertising mediums of the board ; and substituted the Leeds Ifitetli&cnccr , I , eeds Times , and Northern Star in theirstead .. When the business of the day was concluded } Mr . Hiirst , ( one of the Guardiahs . ) submitted an able aud powerfully convincing petition to the Hoiises of Lords . mdComm « us . -showing the defects of the whole Poor L ; tw measure , and praying for it * repeal ; which petition was signed by ; . twenty three Guardians - present . This fact will best illustrate the shabby attempt of the Whigs to adjourn , harrass and disgust tlie working-rnen-Guardiaus , who came from a distance . The Board consists of forty Guardians ' , and lour
Government Ex-Ojjicio toola . One of the constitutional Guardians was absent ; three have not yet been seated ; liiakihg , witlx tlie twenty-three who sigued the petitiph , twenty-seven Opposed to the act , and only seventevVn , with rubbish and all , supporting it . So great was the indignation of the Guardians of the put-town » hips , that they met at the New Inn immediately after the business was over , and entered into a siibscriptidn , and paid their monies down , to coVer all expenses likely to occur iu support ot tlieir cause ; aud they bound themselves Boleiunly to attend when called upon , in order to iheetthe machinations of the enemy ^ As a prooi that the Wliigs have disgusted those who were two who
waverinp ^ Guardians were before friendl y to the Bill joined the Radicals , saying tkat there raust be " swn ' ut wrong wben men would do like that to carry it . " We now thriw down the gauntlet , and we deiy all the " bloody Wliigs " and shufliiug journalists , to tlirow tlie ocliuin off their party . The Whigs were loud and copious in their expressions « f gratitude to Mr . ^ O'Counpr for having ^ saved their lives . Mr . O'Connor ' did express himself ^^ warmly in dis-appvobatioii of the mode in which the business was conductetf ; he restored the book to Mr , Moorhonse ; but not wishing to shrink from 1 responsibility , lie hereby declard . » , that had he been a guartliari , he would have lost Ms lifei rather than allow so insulting and overbearing an indignity to be offered to the poor of the tovv-nship , as was attempted by the unconstitutionalijjts .

Rationale op Advertisin © . —We copy the following from that popular periodical Chambers Journal , which , as it does not devote any portion of its coUimns to advertisements , may be considered as unbiased in its opinions on tbe subject : — "Advertising is an expedient for obtaining business by no means generally practised . Many tradesmen are deterred by the expense ; some hate rip faith in its efficacy ; others think it a mark of second-rate status in business , and therefore more apt to be-injurious than otherwise . On the other hand , some -radesmen make a system of advertising , planting
every kind of periodical , from the daily newspaper to the quarterly review , with specifications of their anxiety to serve the public , and of the merits of the articles in which they deal , and evidently spending a considerable sum of money yearly in this way . The unconcerned reader and tbe less acute tradesman , struck by the frequency of these appeals for business , are apt to suppose that he who makes them must be less under the influence of wisdom than of folly , rind a good deal of a pretender or a quack into the bargain * There may even be a clasj who make a principle of disbelieving and disregarding all such appeals , and , like the Irishman ,-when
much entreated to come , the more they won't come . Yet the regular discharge of advertisements keeps up nevertheless , and the trader mu ^ t evidentl y find it serviceable upon the whole . It may be worth while to communicate to young tradesmen the ideas of an old one on this subject—they are simply and briefly as follows : —The first utility of frequent and regular advertising consists in this : thjre is at all times a large class of persons , both'in country and town , who have no fixed places for the purchase of certain necessary articles , and are ready to be swayed and dra / rn towards any particular place which 'is earnestly brought undtr their notice . Indifferent
to all , they yield without hesitation to the first who asks . Then , in the country , a considerable number of persons , who wish a supply of the article advertised , and do not know of any particular place where it is to be got , being thus furnished with the address of a person who can 8 upply them , naturally open a communication with that address , which perhaps leads to much ulterior business . People in the country are also liable to be favourably impressed by the frequent sight of a name in ; the newspaper . The advertising party acquires distinction m their eyes , and thus they are led , in making a phoice , to prefer him . But by far the
most important effect of advertising is one of an indirect nature . It conveys the impression that the party—pretending or not pretending , quackish or not quackish—is anxious for biisiness . One who is anxious for business is unavoidably supposed to be an industrious , attentive , civil person , Who keeps the best of articles , at the cheapest rate , does every thing in the neatest and mo 9 ttradesmati-Uke manner , and in general uses every expedient to gratify and attach customers . People of course ; like , to purchase under those circumstances , and the system of advertising assuring them that such circumstances
exist at this pxrtieular shop , they select accordingly . Such are opinions of the old tradesman alluded to , and they are certainly supported by facts ; for wherever an extensive and regular system of advertising is practised , and no back-drawing or unconqviCTable circumstances exist , it is usually seen to be attended with a considerable share of success . ; One feature in the philosophy of the subject must be carefully attended to . . A faint and unfrequent system of advertising does not succeed , not even in proportion . ' Drink deep or taste not the Peirian spring . '"
The Barn Owl . —If this useful bird caught its food by day , instead of hunting for it by night / mankind would have occular demonstration of-its utility in thinning the country of mice ; and it would , be with us what the ibis was with the Egyptians ; When it has young , it will bring a mouse to the nest about every twelve orfiftefen minutes . But , in order to have a proper idea of the enormous quantity of mice which this bird destroys , we must examine the pellets which it ejects from ita stomach in the place of its retreat . Every pellet contains from four to seven skeletons of mice . In sixteen months from tlie time that tbe apartment of the owl on the old gate-way was cleaned out , there has been a deposit of above a bushel of pellets .- — Waterton ' s Essays .
The Use of a Hat . —It ought to . be known as generally as possible , that a man ' s hat will serve inmost cases as a temporary life-preserver , to . persons in hazard of drowning , by attendipg to ;^ he following directions : —When a person finds himself in or about to be in , the water , let him lay hold of his hat between his hands , laying the crown close under his chin , and the mouth under the water . By this means the quantity of air contained in the cavity of the hat will be sufficient to keep the head above water for several hours , or until assistance can be rendered . .
, The Northamptonshike Poet . - — Thomas Miller was a bassket-ffiaker , in EUiott's-row , Whitechapel , for a longtimelivingin the most abject jslate ; of povfcrty . Sitting between an apple-stall woman- and ah oyster-stall , did he offer his wicker baskets fot sale ; yet there , amidst the grossness of accumulated masses of ignorarice and vice , did the indwelling spark silently work through his blood-and brain , and the unquenchable fire of genius blaze out laughingly . The iirst man who took him-by . iW hand was the then proprietor of the Monthly Magazine , in which he wrote , and received . a few , shillings for his contributions . One day , as he was
cowering over the small embers of hia dying firey without a penny in the house , working at a job of two baskets ,: for which he was to receive : fi ^ ci shiliuga a gentleman entered the room ( it wag % } & editor of Friendship's Offering rj and a # ked him if hia . namt ? was Miller .

Miller rather hesitated 5 but he a » fa ( d ; Wm if he was not in great distress , and threw down haJf-a-crown to relieve him . On his departure Miller sent hw wife out for a pennyworth ; of paper , a pennyworth of ink , and a pea ,: 'and
twp pounds of ruihp steaks . The paper ,, was brought , and , by the light of the fire , hftwrftbttie beautiful poem of the ' * Fountain ..
