MEETING 0 * WoMitw . —On Wednesday nigbtj a meeting of women waq held in the large room of the Public Office , for th . ; purpose of wtablishing a lemale Political Union . The room was crowded . Mr , Salt addrewed them at considerable length ; upon the t&xun of the dffficaltien and distress to which tbey bad been , and were still Bobject . Seven hundred and fifty tickets we * e : pawd , and from the disposition manifested , there can be no doabt that ¦ ad there been double that number signed , they would have been all disposed of . At the ^ close of the buiineM , Mr . George Edmonds bnr % addrroed toe meetipg . He saidwhen he
, nret heard of the tneetingu of women taking place in Birmingham , he Hiniled at the idea of it . People were accustomed to form their notions from the « JWtonl 8 of jiwciety , and as the political buwness of the nation had been invariably conducted by men , be thought it strange when it was intended t » prevail opop the" women to take part in it . He certainly viewed ^ the ' undertaking as likely to be prodotUve , of itaraenw power .. If the women of Eagland took up jh ^ . aubject » f politic *—if they « et about ascertaining the real causes of the mi « ery : of themuelvesand familien , and re ^ olv tS upon removing them , there tw no . dftubt thev could do 11 . If the
women would nveet , and uni ^ , and coroperate , with due discretion and de . termioation , they would do more in one year than the men could by themselves in -many yearn ; If thrir hbjbaLds baa ' paid more attention to the biwiness of politic * thaa they hadif they bad , in , year « pastjtepta clo . >« jr eye upon the government of their count y , they would not be in their present dilemma . But ' the fact was , thev did not , and the result wa » v that the empire wat r ^ -du ^ d » jMjBi-coranion TDia : its t rade was
annihilated , and j ts people weighed down with an insupportable load of taxauqn . He looked with anxiety to the result of the women ' s Union which they had formpd . He felt cbnndeDt that , if they united firmly , they would achieve all that was required . They bad never yet failed in .. any uiidertHking , and be was certain , if they acted with prudence and discretion , they would not in tbe present instance . Mr . CoUinn also addressed the meeting . — Birmingham Journal . -,

ANTI-POOR LAW PROCEEDINGS AT DEWSBURY , On Monday last , Dewsbury signalised itself by one 6 f those mighty demonstrations agaiiist Whig oppresBioni which are now becoming sogeneral throughout the country .

GmrivA : ti » i ti . t ? . farmer me ' ettog of inut ; body , and of the disturbances which afterwards eu-Isuea , a considerable elfgree of interest was excited aaAo the probable r ' esnlt of the next meeting . Prrbaps , however , the timidity of Mr . Ingham on the one hand , and the nnmner of soldiers , special conalabley , and metropolitan policenifu , on the otbt-r hand ,. contributed more to . excite the interest of the people , and to britig them together , than awvthitig
elsev 1 he facts of the late disturbance have alreaJy been , laid -before ; our readers . One ot the consequenccs of that dUttltbtoivv wax a resolntiou ou tlie part of the opposition Guardians , not to attend : any meetings of the Board of tiuardiatis , uutil they hail memorialised Lord John Russeil ' relative to the Eower of the Guardians as a body . Mr . Inghaui ayihg asserted that he would carry it into effect it he could-bat obtain two other persons to act with him . Monday last was the day when the meeting of the Board of Guardians was to be resumed , aud much excitement prevailed as to its rmift . Early iu th \ - ittorning , wimbem of people were observed going towards the town in all directions ; aud a great c « nconrse were assembled in the market-place , and
near the school-foom , where the Guardians met . Ten o ' clock was the time of meeting . To prevent disturbances , gnat precaution had been Tised in providing sufficient tbrce , aud isauing orders to arrest all persons who were found in . any way breaking the peace . No less than about five hundred special constables were swwii iu ; to these were added , three troops of Laticers , cbtisisting Of forty-two soldiers in each , troop ; two troops \> t Royal Riflemen , brought purposely from Hull , oi forty in . each troop , " aird about thirty of tli « i-M « tTOpolitan Police . ' ¦ 3 ii 6 lJfdQm 2 a ¦ wiucu . th « Gdjurai » i »« met was gaarded both by the Metropoliiau Piilice * men and the spee . al corustables , being entirely fi ; led with the latter class of peacH-pre . servew . A resolution having been passed at the last meeting of the Guardian * to close them against the public , reporters
were refused admittance . We learu «< i , however , that there were only seven Guardians present , all ot whom were favourable to , the law , and the two Ex Qfiicios , Mf . ssr . s . Iiigham and Hague . The only onsiuess which was transacted wai the appointing of . two relieving officers ^ who are named -: — Crott and PickeMfiill ; the former , a clerk with a Air . U ' ailsworlb , of Millsbndge , and the latter , au assis-Cant overseer and worKhouse master at Ossett . Tuie noise of the special constables , together with the mariner in which the Guardians whispered to each other all that thiey had to say and propose—leaning over the table at whieh'they sat , and only breathing all their communications as if they weje concocting . > pme diabolical cOnspiracy- ^ rendered it impossible to hear what Wa * going on . ' At abOOt half-past eleven o ' clock the Guardians seemerl ' to have iinished
their business , and preparations were then made for removing to the Royal Hotel . About this time , the crowd roniid the scnxiol rtfbm was very greats and a number of persons had- assembled themselves in a Held opposite . They made a great noise , and seetned much excited . One of the policemun was heard to say , ^ Dr-7-n thein , they'll neither do one thing nor ;' tother ; if . they'd only begin we'd know vj'bxit to do witK . ' em . '' . Just as these words were biemguttefedj a rusib ! Of the people prevented our reporter , who : heard the policeman ^ roake ase oi the words , from seeing his number , and he was not able again to" recognize Hitn , The whole of the policemea then foiinid themselves into / a'doTi'blelinein the schooWoomr and Mr , Ingham and bis brethren
