XXBDB . —The Tbetotjo . Chabtkb Association . —a * a meeting of the members of this As&oeiation , called to diBctiss the proprietr of nnitfng with the National Union and Executive at Manchester , or to form & new organisation on the high moral ground of self-denial , ana total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks , » Tery interesting discussion was the consequence , in which several friends , not members , were allowed to take part . Mr . T . B . Smith was called to the chair . Although the meeting was unanimous in its decision of abandoning the idea of uniting with the present Association , it wished it to be understood , that the object in Tiew was nothing less than that of being better able , when any great national or local movements occur , to afford more
nzorous aid than they otherwise could do . The foL ' otriag resolutions were passed on the occasion : — " T :: 3 E this meeting is ef opinion ' that any moveme :- ; having for its object the establishment of the p rinciples emboilied in the Charier as the law of the land , will be fruitless and unavailing , unless based on the high moral ground of self-denial , and total absiiuenoe from all intoxicating drinks . " " That thii m&fcting * &sp «> eifuliy recommends that imniB * dis-ui steps b * taken by all the Teetotal Charter Associations in the United ftneendom , to establish a national organisation , in conformity with the improved suggestions of the Manchester meeting of delegates , and to be called f The National Teetotal Charier Association . ' "
National Chabteb Association . —At the weekly meeting of this Association , last Monday night , Mr . Wt-u&ke gave his second lecture on the democracy of Christianity ; after its delivery , an interesting discission took place upon it . On Monday night , the monthly report will be submitted to the members , besides other important business , when all the meicbers are desired to attend . The subject ** Moc ^ chy versus Republicanism , " will be resumed on Tuesday night . This debating club should be eneonrsged as much as possible , as it is calculated to protince beneficial effects . To commence at halfpas : six .
WOHTIiBT . —The brave and enterprising Radicals of "Wortley , who have formed a food and flourishing -association a Upper Wortley , broke jjround last Weticesdaynight , in Lower Wortley . The meeting was held in the large room of theFleece Inn , and was completely crammed . Mr . Waite was called to the chair . Resolutions were passed to the effect , that noting short of the People ' s Charter will place Ee £ and in a happy condition , and that the me-.: ing pledge itself to stand by it , and not to accept
eithi-r the Corn Law , or the Household-Suffrage Mansers' half measures . Messrs . Westiake , Roberts , lilb- 'iTworth , and Brook , attended as a deputation from Leeds , and spoke wiih considerable effccs to the resolutions . The secretary was busv taking names down , when the deputation left . It is hoped that th 9 men of Lower Wortley will avail themselv-. T . of the opportunity now presented . We believe it ) ; the intention of the Radicals to go on and establish associations in Armky and Bramley as boob as commodious nlaces can be secured .
HATiTFAX . — Chartism is getting on gloriously at Halifax . The friends here nave determined ~ to hold their meetings no longer at a public house , so " they have taken a room in Waterhouse-street , where their meetings will , in future , be held . At a recta ; meeting it was resolved , That class petitions be Knj to the Hous « of Commons for the liberation of Fesrgns O'Connor , Esq ., and all others who are impr . * OTied fot political offences f * and , also , ** That it is with d » ep regret we perceive the unwarrantable condnct of Messrs . Collins and O'Neil ( in the Star
of tht 28 ihult . ) towards their Chartist brethren and their suffering brethren in exile , and that the thanks of this meeting be given to our Birmingham brethren for exposing their conduct , and to the Edr . or of the Siar lor inserting the same ; for we conceive it to be the duty of all good and true Chartists , whenever any of our leaders shew any symptoms of trimming and > piiiting of straws , bickering or obstructing the cau ~>; to shew them up and expose them immediately ; and , by that means , perhaps , they maybe recliizEsd , or , otherwise , go over to the enemy without doing any further harm . "
The Chaetists met in their room in Waterhousestreer , on the 4 % h inst . After the usual business had been - -ransacted , ihe plan of orgini-ration , as revised and sraended by the delegates , i ' rom various parts of the t-mutrj , on th / 20 & , 22 d , and 23 d of February , in Jlanchester , was taken into consideration , the principles of the plan were deliberately discussed , elanv . - by clause , when it wa 3 resolved , " Tnat the thank * of this meeting be given ihe delegates who asseiiiled in Manchester , for their assiduous" ¦ anwt ^ ried extr : ions in devising a plan so efficient ,
as at o : iee to draw all the energies of the entire pjopie ., into one grand focus for the auainment of the principles contained in the People ' s Charter , and still keeping out of the meshes of the la . w ; a ad we hereby pledge ourselve 3 to use every exertion to carry " sut the aforesaid plan . " 2 . That the thanks of tcis meeiingba also given to Mr . Hill , the Editor of the Northern Star , for his able and talented articles on the plan of organization , and refutation of the expediency humLuj ^ s , and iiereby record our confidence ill the consistency and abilities of Mr . Hill , iacondactiDgthatiournaL "

— Y ^ 3 . " Mr . Webb— " You had better go home , and consider of it again ; for if the person that you are naming your child after , was to commit high treason and get hanged , what a thing it would be . " Mrs . King— " If that should be the ca ~ e , I shall ticn consider it an honour to have my child called after him , so that I shall never have him out of my menv-ry so long as the child lives ; for I think Feirgus CTConnor a deal houester man than those who are punishing him . " Mr . Webb— " Well , if you are determined t-o have it named after him , I must name it ; bai I never met with such an obstinate lady as you before . " Mr . Webb then registered the child by the above name .

As the resolutions were snch as no reasonable man could object to , the Chartist gave them their support , and every resolution was spoken to by the friends of the Charter . Mr . Littler had a resolution to put to the meeting to the following effect , namely , thai if was tne opinion of
the meeting that the bill now before ParLamect was ihe fruit of middle class government , and justice would never be done till the working classes procured the enactment of the People ' 3 Charter . At the very name of the Charter , ; he Waigs and Tories were put in a state of consternation , and left the meeting , with the exception of a drunken Tory , who pulled bis coat off to fight , and who was politely handed down stairs . An attempt was made to move a vote of thanks to the chairman , but it failed . When the Chartists- had elected another Cbairmsxi they carried their morion , and the meeting broke up , after three cheers had been given for O'Connor , and three for the Charter , the destroyer of the New Poor Law Bill and all other oppreslive bills .

The addresses of Mr . Henry Vincent have had great effect on the members of this Association ; many of them have become teetotallers . On Sunday evenirg , Mrs . Peal 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 acconnt of his mission through Glamorganshire and Montnouth . Mr . J . Hitching read the account of Vincent's dinner , which was cheered throughout . Proud are the men of Wales of his ( Vincent ' 6 ) undaunted and unflinching conduct . Edwards is to be released as soon as the bail is
approved . Stapleford . —On Suaday last , Mr . Barrat delivered two sermons in the chapel , to crowded congregations .

A series of resolmtions , 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 , praying for his immediate hberatioa , was adopted . Mr Markham was in the chair , and 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 , Seal , 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 his first lectures on Monday and Tuesday week ; and hs third lecture , on the following Monday , is to be preceded by a public tea meeting . All is rife for great things in Leicester ; and a confidence is felt , that the hearts of the Whigs win be ^ in to fear and tremhle more than ever , when they see and hear of the determined efforts which are being made for political emancipation by the working men . It should not be forgotten , thit 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 being made to him , in writing , by Mr . Cooper .
TXVE&TOJJ . —Extract of a Letteb .. — " We are much dissatisfied with the conduct of the Executive Council towards the Chartists of the West 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 the 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 Ead in Cornwall to the eastern extremity of Devon ; and had they the same
privilege of having lecturers here as they have in the North , incalculable good would result . " WILTSHIRE . —The meeting of delegates from Trowbridge , Bradford , Warmin ^ ter , Kinston Deverill , Monkton Deverill , and Mere , was held at the house of Mr . Tucker , Westbury , on Sunday last , when a cheering account wa 3 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 ; and also to Mr . Tudgey , for becoming agent for the Siar . Mr . Moore read a letter which he had received from William Carrier , the Chartist victim , in which ho stated that he was . at last off the wheel .
BRA » FOBX > . —The Chartists of this place held theirweekiy meeting , on Saturday evening last , in the Chapel , Long Croft Place , Mr . Alderson in the chair . A letter was read from Mr . Otley , of Sheffield , stating that Mrs . Clayton had a son from home , without the consent of hi 3 mother , or any other person or party , and desiring us to give him a reprimand , and prevent , if possible , his imposing on any other town . HTJl > l > ERSrXEI ^> . —At the weekly meeting of the National Charter Association , on Tuesday evening , a lengthy discussion was entered iuio upon the propriety of opening a Chartist news 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 .
GATEsa ^ 'AS . —Mr . Lowery lectured here the other night on Furdgn Policy ; his speech occupied about an hour . He consared , but in very mild lerms , the conduct of the Northern Star in opposing the late Foreign Policy movement , ilr . Ftinlough and other speakers defended the Star , aud CDntenikri that the agitation , respecting foreign policy , was intended to divert the peoples attention from the Charter . —Mr . Depgan partially corroborated Mr , L . ' i ELar ^ men U . Mr . Di ^ egan was happy to understand , by the conduct of the meeting , that they were upon such friendly terms with the Star ; notwithstanding which he fel ; it a duty to reply to an attack which was made upon him in that paper , in consequence of a misrepresentation of a tpeech of his at a meeting in Suncierlaud , all of which he
declared to be a tissue of lies . Mr . D . said , respecting the account mentioned in the Star , he considered that , not taking iato account upwards of £ 20 worth of papers which he failed to dispose of , and for which he paid ; that he » eut regular correspondence , and good correspondence , all of which wag alwayB inserted for that length of time ; that he considered that if the Star gave him £ 20 , that they would be nothing minus , when circnniEtances would enable Mm to liquidate the debt , which he would do as sson a 3 possible . He would then reply to theaj in due form . —Mr . Radly replied to Mr . D ., affirming that he did use the expressions inserted in the Star . —Mr . Faiulough moved , aud Mr . Hebdoa seconded , the follo-pripj ? resolution , which was carried unanimously : — " That this meeting tender their mo&t
sincere thanks to Feargus O'Connor , E-q .., the proprietor , and to the Rev . William Hill , ttie editor of that invaluable organ of the working people , the N'jrthern Star ; and further , that this meeting piace the most implicit confidence in them , aud aro determined to defend their organ against every assailant , so long as it unflinchingly advocates the rights of industry , aa it has always done hitherto . "—Mr . Lowery moved , and Mr . Cross seconded the next , which was carried by a majority : — " That this meeting recognise the right of every mm to express hia opinion on all political evils , and deny the right of any one to attack private character on public differences . "—> lr . Famlough moved , and Mr . Lowery seconded , " That this meeting do individually and collectively demand the restoration of Frost ,
Williams , and Jone 3 ; also , that this meeting do hereby giv « their hearty co-operation to the general committee of Birmingham for that desirable object . " Thanks were given , to the Chairman , for his impartial conduct in the chair . Three cheers were given to- Feargus O'Connor , Esq . ; three for the Star ; three for Frost , Williams , and Joaes ; and the 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 agam stating simple tacts , 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 . Thi 3 is the first time we hare heard of them . We never sent Mr . Deegan more papers than he ordered . Mr . Deegan ktew the rale of the offhe —that every agent is required to pay for every
paper which he does order ; 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 spaoks , we know nothing about it ; it is possible that Mr . Deegan might , sometimes , have sent us a paragraph ot local news , but we have no recollection that he ever did so . He b . 35 , sometimes , since Jus appointment as a missionary , sent us reports of hia owu meetings , and they have always been inserted when practicable . Our cashier desire 3 ub to Bay that he is very glad tolearn the altered style of speaking adopted by Mr . Deegan , relative to the deb ; due to the offioe ; 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 faiher , now in the possession of our cashier . — Ed .

DZATB . FROM DESTITUTION . —OPEUATIO . V OF THE New Pooe Law in the Kenslngton Uniox—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 Tavern , 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 brought 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 tne appearance of a skeleton , and on leaving ihe place , several 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 was proved that since Michaelmas last , he had only had about two pairs of shoes per week to make , for which he would 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 relieving-oiScer to be sent for , to whom he addressed some severe animadversions .

A Pkbb at A PotiCE OrFlCB . —There ii nothing bat revolutions in this world . It is bnt ft tew day * since Lord Cardigan was brought to trial in the House of Lords for abooting at one Harvey Tuckett ; and yesterday we had the son and aepkew of Baton Foster paraded at College-street police-office for horsawhipping a Peer of the realm , who is commonly called Viscount Massareen . The auinlt occurred upon Tuesday , in Nassau-street , when Mr . Charles and Mr . Arthur Foster meeting Lord Massareen , asked him " if he knew them ? " to which be replied in the negative They were , however , not to bfe put off in this way ; so one of them pulling out a whip commenced flagellating the Peer across his noble shoulders , and when this ceremony was concluded , the operator and his
companion proffered his chastened Lordahip their cards , which he in a dignified manner declined . With aching shoulders he proceeded to College-street police-office , and purchased a summons , as a cataplasm for his woundtd dignity . To this legal challenge the Fosters appeared , and confronted the haughty and horse-¦ whipped Massween . 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 , and Mr . Curran elicited from Lord Massareen that he was not only a poet , but the author of a work entitled , " The Sketch of Love , " which we understand—tor Mr . Hitchcock wonld 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 bai ) , that they should 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 sf sight the provocation which Lard Massareen may have given the Foster family , and which tempted them to commit a breach of the law by horsewhipping him in the public street It may have been very grievons or frivolous—it may have alluded to what Professor Napier "WOUld call " tho elouded morning of a iiiissptiit life , " or to some trifling eccentricity of character only calculated to excite a smile , but , be the
provocation what it msy , 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 other day was the advocate for compounding a criminal charge against the Earl of Waldegrave , who had nearly murdered a police constable , and the Dublin Magistrate , treading in the steps of the Lord Chief Justice , proposes a private investigation of a case in which a Peer and the son and nephew of a Judge are the parties engaged . Had a hard-working mechanic , or even an industrious shopkeeper , been brought before this Justice Hitchcock upon a similar charge would he have proposed a private investigation , and allowed the offence to be compotmded ? Of a verity we live in an age of impartial justice . —The W » rld ( Dublin ) .
Legal Farce the Second There has been a pendant to tho Cardigan mockery of justice at the Old Bailey , in the trial of his Lordship's second , Captain Douglas . The Judge upon whom devolved the first pirt in the farc ^ had to -wonder that there was no counsel for the prosecution , to explain that there was no evidence that Harvey Tuekett was Harvey Ganiett Piiipps Tuckett , or that Captain Douglas was Captain Doug / as . He said that everybody knew that Captain Tuckett had been fired at , and wounded by , Lord Cardigan , on Wimbledon Common , but that , according to the rules of law , and the 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 cane for trial , or rather getting it up for an acquittal by the non-producti # n of evidence . This has been done by the attorney employed by Government on the prestnt occasion , to avoid the scandal of a conviction of Captain Douglas in a criminal court , after the acquittal of his principal in the highest tribunal in the r-aim . The sauce for the goose has been made sauce for the gander That there has been equal injustice in tho two Cises cannot be denied ; but how disgraceful it is , for any 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 samu contrivance was
employed to procure the acquittal of Lord Cardigan , ¦ which app . ara so nakedly in that of Captain Douglas . With a public prosecutor , tricks of this sort , making a mockery of justice , would be impossible . —Examiner .

FROM OXJB LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , March 4 , Quarter to Seven . Awful Death of x Ghavk Diggkr . —This afternoo ::, about four o'clock , as the under -sexton oi St . Bride ' s Church , Fleet-street , w % 3 employed in digging a grave , adjacent to one of 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 scene of the accident , and the City police aro not the most civil in their deportment ; for on our endeavouring to learn the name , &c . of the deceased , at the Twelve F . ells , near the ChuTch , one of those unboiled gentry , under Mr . Whittle Harvey ' s command , called to a companion to lend him his truncheon , te keep the course clear , that courso being a public thoroughfare .
Citt News . —The classes who live by " ringing the changea" between paper and 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 bauks in the adjacent country . During the day , however , the more reflecting portion of the " dabblers" found out that this step , on the partofthe American batiks , was in all probability but a preliminary measure to the liquidation of the outstanding " cetton claims , " and confidence was again restored : indeed , should this conjecture prove well-founded , a brisk trade may be anticipated this summer for cur Manchester and Sheffield goods . The following are the closing prices of the British Stocks this afternoon : —Consols for Account , 8 S | ; Do . Money , 88 $ ; New Three-and-a-half per Cent , 97 ^ ; Exchequer Bills 12 s . premium .
The Bloomsduuy 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 gulied by the Whig and Household Suffrage faction , and that they caution their ChartiBt brethren throughout ths 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 .

CHAKiisxs ! -lt is a singular fact , that oil the occasion of 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 hope that they might pass their resolutions undisturbed ; ou thai occasion , they coajjetured nghtly ; but , on trying on tho same game on Monday Ia 3 t , notwithstanuing the numerous attendance at ths Vincent dinner , the Auti-Corn-Law party were doomed to be disappointed , for the friends of the Charter mustered in sufficient strength at the Crown and Anchor , to def « at the factious purposes of the "Repealers , " and to carry by two to one , resolutions in favour of Universal Suffrage and the Charier . One fact is worth a ton of argument .

( Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce . ) Philadelphia , Feb . 5 . The burst up of the United States Bank yesterday gave rise to an excitement , which haa continued through to-day , such as was 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 Tkursday was not understood until after the cars left for your city to bs an absolute failure .
Early this morning the streets were crowded with citizens , and before the opening of the doors of the banks there were crowds of greater or Ie 38 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 holier * . All paid , including the United States , for five dollar notes , for an hour or two when the Girard began to wince , and finally " resigned ' tramps , " standing its hand no further than to pay its five dollar notes . Thus has gone on the first day of trial . The greatest contusion prevails , and the banks were all busily employed in paying out specie from the open-

ing to the close , tome with two or three clerki . A much larger amount must have been drawn from ihe banks to-day than on January 15 . The Bank of the United States has been cited before Judge King , to shew cause of refusal to pay ber ten dollar notes . Sbe is allowed ten days to file bier answer or to pay the money . All the banks before three o ' clock ceased to pay anything but their fire dollar bills , except fire—the Western , the South wark , the Commercial , the Philadelphia , and the Bink of North America . We shall , in ail hnman probability , have a general suspension to-morrow . The banks , I think , cannot stand another day ' s ran like this .
( Fr $ m the National Gazette . ) Further 'Suspension . —P . S . One o ' clock . —All the banks of the city , with two or three exceptions , hare , just suspendon specie payments , except tor five dollar notes . The apprehension expressed above is thus already realised . Suspension in Delaware . —The Philadelphia United States Gazette 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 tho nauie of Sheets , a labourer , committed suicide last night , in the upper part of the city , by shwtlng himself through the heart . Want of business was the cause . Philadelphia , Feb . 7 . It appears that on the day the United States Bank suspended , the City Council and all the other Banks agreed to receive the notes of tho United States Bank . A Mr . Millar has instituted a suit against the United States Bank for 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 bills . The citation was awarded , and made returnable on the 15 th inst
( Correspondence of ihe Courier and Enquirer . J 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 the feelings and wishesof bis friends in different districts of the country . Indeed even their prejudices have been considered . In doing this General Harrison has evinced a sound judgment , mingled with sagacity and discretion . Nor ho * he been wanting in promptitude . I have reason to believe that the following gentlemen will constitute General Harrison ' s Cabinet The statement is not muds on

LEEDS . —Total Abstinence Charter Association . —la pursuance of the announcement made in our last week ' s paper , Mr . T . B . Smith , of Hull , preached a sermon to this body , in their room , No . b" 2 , High-street , on Sunday evening last , lie took for his text the 32 nd verse of the 4 th chapter 6 f Acts , " And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart , and of one sou ) : 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 grait length , and with considerable energy and eloquence , although in 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 and
who professed it bowed , ^ were selfishness avarice . This ho illustrated by reference to the vast accumulation by the nrillowners of wealth wrung from the hard earnings , the blood and bones , of the poor little factory child . He dwelt upon the various points of his text at great length- —upou the unity of belief , or faiih in the power of love and goodness —upon the unity of heart aud soul , of feeling and intellect , which were the distinguishing characteristics of primitive Christianity , and upon the doctrine of community of possession , which he advocated as the proper state to which mankind should attain . In the courso of his remarks upon tho latter subject , ho exposed the oxclusiveness and selfishness of those ivho assume there are certain enjoyments to bo confined to themselves and elites alone , especially that knowledge and refinement are not fit for the " lower" orders . All that knowledge which the understanding of man could comprehend , and all
that refinement which he was capable of receiving , waB the right of every man . The little factory child was as capable of being instructed in , and had as great a right to , the pleasures of music , of dancing , and of like attainments , as tho child of luxury . The lecturer throughout enforced that Christiauity was a religion of practice , good works , and benevolence . There was a room full of persons present , and tha body have mado a very good commencement . We trust they may prosper , whilst the kindly and charitable doctrines of last Sunday evening aro 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 m © all ya that labour and are heavy laden , and I will give you rest . "
