TEE POOR LAWift * HALIFAX . / ( From the Halifcur-Guardian . ) — Two important documents -have this week fallen under oar notice . As Uiey .- 'hotlx give a great and final blow to the feeble falsehood of and alleged " saving" nnder the New Poor Law , wjj select , for our readers , the most important facts contained in each paper . . ' ' The first ia an " extract from ihe quarterly abstract , showing the number of paupers relieved , tho amount of money expended , and tne balance due to and from the several township ? , for the quarter ending the 25 th of September , 1841 . " The paper is signed M Charles Barstow , Clerk of the Halifax Union , " and id published by the Guardians as an official report . Wkat , then , is the testimony it
bears 1 At the end of the previous quarter there was » sum of £ 2 , 418 14 s . ll £ d . in the bands of the treasurer towards meeting the expences of the September quarter . Since that time no . less than £ 3 , 509 additional have been paid by the several townships to the treasurer ; ytt the expences have been so enormous , that tho balance left on hand > t the end of the quarter is reduced from £ 2 , 418 odd , down to 1 . 745 S * 7 £ d . That the poor get no share of this extraordinary expenditure is shown by the " extract" itself , shrewdly imperfect though it be ; for we find that there is a diminution of £ 101 io out-door relief ( as compared with the corresponding quarter in 1840 ) , although there is an increase of 117 out-door poor aa compared with the same
quarter . The second and by far the most important paper from which we purpose to extract the proofs of the New Poor Law extravagance , is also an offioial document . It bearn the signature of those notorious gentlemen . "G . C Lewis" and " Edmund W . Head , " Poor Law Commissioners ; and is a declaration under their seals and signatures cf " the expense incurred by each parish or place forming part of the Halifax Union , for tho relief of the poor
belonging to each such pirish or place , for three years ending on tha 25 th of March in the present year . ' * It will be remembered that Mr . Power , then the Assistant-Commissioner over this Union , made a similar inquiry into the three years' average under the old law ; and there can be no fairer means of testing the veracity of the Commissioners than by placing his average with that now settled , we believe , by Mr . Motfc . Here , then , we place them side by side : —

do that out of the mouths of the Commissioners we are now furnished with proof of what we have eo long asserted—the enormous cost of the new law . The documents issued from Somerset-house belie the gratulatio&s which have so long resounded in that quarter ; and " the paving of the New Poor Law " &tands confessed to bo the very Irish ono of an undeniable increase . But this is not all I The following important memorandum is affixed to the document before us ; and though it is in email letters and just underneath tho seal of the Commissioners , its figures strike our eye with more effoct than the glaring orange of the Whig Commissioners : —
MFMOHANDCM . In addition to the sum of £ 14 , 138 ( the average of the cost of the relief ) The average of the establishment during the last three years was 1 , 727 And the average amount of money paid on account of loass and interest thereon during the same period was 1 , 306 Average of the total expenditure £ 17 , 161 So that the entire increase in expenditure ( by the showing of the Commissioners ) is Jive thousand three hundred and th \ rty-lhre : pounds per annum in the Halifax Union alone !

DINNER TO THE POOR . ( From the Norfolk Chronicle . ) The Lord Bishop having intimated to the governor and members of the court of guardians in this city , his desire to give to the poor inmates of the workhouse a good dinner of old English fare of roast beef and plum pudding , in celebration of the birth of a Prince , the heir apparent to tho throue , Tuesday last was the day for carrying his Lordship ' s benevolent intention into tff'Ct . Tnere are nearly 400 pers-ons in the house , and for these ample provision was furnished ; plum puddings of the best quality wero made , and joints of beef of the primeEi kind were procured ; the hall kitchen , once a busy scene , in whose grates , since the introduction of a reforming municipality , no fire ba 9
bnrned , nor has the no ' e of preparation even sounded within its walls for c vie hospitality—this spacious kitchen and tho materials which it affords for cooking a good dinner , wero again brought into requisition . About half-past one o'clock the dishes were placed upon the tables , which had been arranged , three in the centre aisle , and one by the side ; and it being announced that all wa « ready , the boys and girls in the establishment first entered and took their p aces , and were followed by the men and women , aud it was a pleasing sight to see so many , both of old and young , whose poverty and not their will forces to be the recipients of workhouse fie , sitting down before fine joints of beef , and smoking dishes of plum pudding .
Grace was said by the Bishop , and Non nobis Dominie , was sung by the choristers of the Cathedral , who were stationed in the orchestra . The chaplain to the workhouse IRev . J . B . Tompson ) , the governor , and several of tho guardians assisted in . carving , and most succesfcfal was the attack made upon the provisions . Mrs . and Miss Stanley , and several other ladies , evinced much interest iu the personal comfort and enjoyment of the guests , particularly of the junior objects of his Lordship ' s bounty . Grace having been pronounced by his Lordship , and the men , women , aud children having resumed their places ,
The Bishop sa \ d—My friendB , I am in duty bound to give a toast , and I shall gvvo you , "The Health of Her Majesty Queen Victoria , " our Sovereign , the guardian of the British empire , and gratified indeed would she be to witness this scene . True it is that she is the highest authority of the land , but , exalted as is ter Btatiou , if 8 he were here , Englishwoman as she is , with an English heart aud a mother's feelings , there is nothing , I well know , which would please Queen Victoria more than to behold the Bight I now witness , of nearly 400 persons regaling themselves on the occasion of her son ' s birih . Her Majesty has received addreBseB from the highest and noblest of the land : but thiB sight would give her moro real pleasure than all the addresses and congratulations that her Majesty has received . My friends , let us drink the health of Queen Victoria , long may she reign , happy may she be , the beloved Sovereign of a loyal , free , and grateful people . " ( Loud choers . )
"God save the Queen" was then sung by the choristers of the Cathedral , assisted by the organ . The Bishop—Now , my ftiends , I must this day give yiu another toast , and it ia the health of the Royal Infant , who is , under Divine Providence , to bo our future King . May God Almighty so impress him with a right Bpirit within , that , being moulded and fashioned as a child ia the spirit of true wisdom , ho may , when he grows up to manhood , prove a real blessiug to the land which gave him birth . Ab by his birth he will be the first man in the country , bo by his education may he become the best and fittest for his exalted station . May he above all things « set
a bright example to those whom he may govern , that they mar feel it both a duty and a pleasure to obey him , and to yield to him the homage of loyal , obedient , and happy subjects . I give yoi "The Health of the Royal Infant who is to be our future King " with " Rule Britannia . " ( Great cheering . ) The BiBhop again Eaid—My friends , I must give you one more toast , and I will be shore in my remarks , neverthele = B it is one in which I boast , " England , the land we live in , ' may she ever be the first country in . the world , first in enterprise , first in religion , and first in the happiness and wel-4 fare of her people . ( Cheers )
The Governor said—I have the permission of the Bishop to propose a toast , and I will give you one in which I am sure you will all unite most cordially : it is the health of one who does honour to the high and sacred office which he holds , and who exemplifies that effiee by kindness , by generosity , and good

feeling , It must delight . - aU * wfoo venerate our church , to see the manner in which the head of that church in this diocese exercises his office . It gives me satisfaction to propose and I am BUTe that you will heartily drink , " The Health of the Bishop . " ( Great cheering . ) - His Lordship said—Five years I bare been amongst yon , and I have passed many happy hours in this diocese , but I know not that I ever passed one more satisfactorily - to mysslf than in seeing , as I hare
done this day , nearty 400 of tha poor regaling themselves on this auspicious occasion . I have seen St . Andrew ' s Hall crowded at many meetings , for benevolent , religious , and almost every variety of objeots , but I have never seen it filled in a manner more gratifying than it ia now , by persons of tae poorer class regaling themselves on an occasion joyfulto England itself . I myself only regret that every poor person , not only in Norwich , but throughout England , is net able by his industry and honeat exertions to celebrate the event in the same manner .
My earnest prayer to God is , that things may improve ; bo that every industrious man may be able to earn a competency , and be able to live in the enjoyment of the privileges of his country . ( Cheers . ) The Bishop then gave " Health , success , and happiness to the poor in Norwich and the poor iu England . ** His Lordship , Mrs . Stanley , and the company who had been present in the Hall , then retired .

STATE OP TaE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES . It is extremely painful to state that the depression in the lace trade has extended to the power factories , one of which in this vicinity , we are informed , stopped Kearly all the machines last Saturday , ana others contemplate , either to stop or work short hours . At Chard , the machines are working short time , and some other firms contemplate stopping , a * ihe price of nets does not cover the prime cost . Tho Limerick ornamented nets , which have been so injurious , in many respects , to the lace trade , are disappearing from the windows of the lace shops . We understand that the speculation is a failure . It is now hoped , that lace-runners will be again ia requisition , as British rua net are succeeding them . The French have introduced into fashion a new description of winter cuffs , using ornamented lace to cover the leather cuff . They look unique and handsome .
The silk glove trade is a little amended , French point net gloves having declined as the cold weather approached . Still the hands are to a great extent out of employment . The lace trade in France is extremely dull . It is computed that there are now at work in that kingdom about three thousand six hundred French bobbin net hands , who cannot epeak . English , and from tiOO to 900 English bobbin-net hands , who cannot speak French . However difficult it is conceived to be to work a traverse warp machine , we believe
that the majority of Widdowson's traverse warp hands , at Douay , are Frenchmen . Widdowson ' s power factory at that place , consisting of twenty-five rotary machine ? , is well employed . Wo are Borry to say , that the warp tatting trade is still in a very depressed state , especially at Stapleton ; indeed , the only branch of the lace trade that can bo eaid to be in anything like a state of iving employment , is the traverse warp . This is said to be owing to their fancy nets being all made traversed , which causes them co stand the ordeal of the wash tub . —Nolliaaham Hevtew .

THE PICTURE OF DANIEL OCONNELL . " How are the mighty fallen ! " Time was when they would " have given a hundred ducats for his picture in little , "but now " they make maws at him . " " Ui piclura" is poor Dan . Ou Saturday last , there was a sale of pictures at Christie ' s , when , among others , a three-quarters length of Daniel O'Connell , in oils , was put up . No voice was heard for some time , and O'Connell seemed very likely " to be taken to the place whence it came , and there to be / rnn . o . " At last a gentleman , " as brave ae the fl « a that supped on the lion ' s lip , " bid 2 s . 6 d . This daring act wag received with great
cheering , according to its character , the bidding of half-a-crown appearing , no doubt , so appropriate a price for a RepeaJer . Here , however , there was a dead stop ; but , spite of its consistency , he was not to be sold so " dirt cheap ; " for a change came over the spirit of the assembly , and after several biddings , one had the hardihood ( of which he doubtless repents ) to bid 8 a . ! aud to him this " gem" was knocked down . No one could account for this extravagant price . It was whispered about , however , that it had been bought by Mr . O Connoll himself , to present to the Corporation of Dublin ; but we have not yet heard whether he has been able to induce them to raise the money to pay for it . —Times .

Total , 191 This fearful instance of extermination is one of the worst species being cniefiy referable to a sectarian spirit . Nodi , e and Unexampled Patriotism . —The labouring men of England exhibit at thia moment an intelligence and patriotism which has rarely been exampled and never surpassed . They ore famishing , and their wives and little ones are famishing , ou what of neceseariea can be bought for a weekly two dollars , in a country where two dollars will not buy as much as one dollar will purchase hero . In the midst of this destitution , they are a&ed to petition for an abolition of the Corn Laws—but they refuse to petition for anything short of the principles which we enumerate in another column—even the prospect of temporary relief from their hunger will not induce them to barter their claim to the high privilege of freemen . — Williamsburg Democrat , American paper .
Murdekous Attack and Robbery . —On Monday evening la ^ t , about seven o'clo ck , as Mr . Benjamin Johnson , corutunsion agent , Cannon-street , Manchester , who resides ia Paddock-street , Ardwick , wad ou his way home , he was attacked by three men in Tipping-Btreet , who seiz d him by the throat , which they grasped with euch violence that he was almost suffocated , and was , of course , wholly unable to cry rut . At the same time he was knocked or dragged down , aud one of the robbers sat on his brtast , and throttled him ; whilst the others robbed him of about £ 200 , chiefly in Bank of England £ 5 notes-, but including one £ 20 and £ 10 note . This money wad placed m his fob , which the robbers tore off , and carried away . They also took from hi 8
pockets a pen knife , » bunch ol keys , and some other trifling articles . Shortly afterwards , Mr . J . Newton , butcher , was proceeding along Tippiug-street , when he saw something lying oa the ground , on the opposite side of the street ; aud , going to ascertain what it was , he found Mr . B . Johnson , who was completely exhausted from th « severe injuries he had received . Mr . Newton . looked round for aid , and saw a boy standing on the other Bide of the street ; and , on Mr Newton asking him if he knew any thing about it , the boy replied that he had seen three men knock the gentleman down , rob him , and run away
but he had not thought of giving an alarm , Mr . Newton obtained assistance ; and Mr . Johnson was conveyed home , and Mr . Jesse , surgeon , attended him . Leeohes were applied to his temples , and the usual restorative means applied ; bat he was in a delirious state during the night ; and we regret to add , that , on Tuesday evening , he was still considered to be in a very precarious condition . On searching the place where the robbery was committed , Mr . Johnson ' s umbrella was found lying on the ground , and near it was a pair of woollen gloves , which did not belong to him , and which had probably been dropped by one of the robbers .
Another Robbery in AuDWicK . —A second robbery was committed in Ardwick , within three quarters of an hour of the one just noticed , and in all probability by two of the same gan *\ A poor laundress , named Maria Adahead , was returning home , having been out washing all day , and W » 8 passing through Cemetery-lane , from the Hyde Road tollbar , to her dwelling in Ardwick , when , about a quarter before eight o'clock , jtft after she had passed the Cemetery gates , she met two men . After they had passed , the men immediately turned round , and knocked her down from behind , and lobbed feer of Is . 3 d . her day ' a wages , which she was carrying in her hand , and then ran off . The poor woman was a good deal shaken b y the injury she received from the blow and tie fall , together with the fright she experienced .

ABERDEEN . —Strike of the Stonemasons . — A general meeting of the quarry men in the vicinity of Aberdeen , was held on Monday evening , Deo . 13 tb , at the Indepetdent Chapel , Print Fields , to take into consideration the best course to be pursued in case that the cautraotor ? of the Nelson Monument aad the Woolwich Dock should apply there for materi » l 8 . Mr . Lind was called to the chair , and he then briefly addressed the meeting , and called on the London delegate to lay the whole of the case before them . Mr . Carter then roso , and said he was proud of the task which it was his duty to perform , more particularly in that part of the country . As he well knew that the public mind had been abused by the false statements
set forth by the London press , he would therefore give them a correct statement of facts , of which he defied a denial , ) and then they could judge for themselves . He then' entered into the details of the foreman 3 ( Allen ) conduct , which has appeared in our previous numbers , and after detailing a lengthened account oft the proceedings since the strike , he eat down amidst loud cheers . Mr . Baine next rose . ( Cheers . ) He rose to propose a resolution which had been put in his hand , and would just call their attention to the former part of it , whioh was to justify the masons on strike ; he wished them just to fancy themselves in the game position as the masons , and ho was sure they would not be very long in showing a similar disposition . Only
think that one of your wives were lying at the point of death , and tell me whether you would not visit her dying moments at the risk , of your lives . This is not a strike of a pecuniary matter , but one of high moral principles , whether they were to be treated as men or as beasts of burden . He entered , in an able manner , into the necessity of union , and concluded his excellent speech by proposing a resolution , justifying the masons , and pledging themselves not to prepare auy materials for Gri £ sell and JPeto until the present dispute is settled , which , after being seconded by Mr . Gordon , was carried unanimously .
By this time the place in which they were assembled was so crowded that it was found necessary to adjourn into an adjoi&ing church , the doors of which were opened for their reception , at the consent of the minister . A lengthened discussion then ensued as to the best tneaus of putting the above resolution in praotice , when it was resolved that three individuals bo appointed to call another meeting of the whole of the men from all the quarries in the neighbourhood , and thus take their opinion . This being done , and Thursday evening next appointed for the meeting , a vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated .

Hull Com * Market , Tuesday , Dec 14 .. —The weather still continues unfavourable , rain more ot less almost every day since our report-of last Tuesday . There is an improved tone in the large con-, sawing markets in the West of Yorkshire and Lancashire , which is felt here , and holders of old Wheat are insisting on higher prices , at which however but little business is done . All spring Cora continues in the same doll state that we have so frequently noted lately , there being little or no demand for it . There is » large arrival of Linseed , whieh causes a dull sale , but not lower prices . Importers prefer landing rather than submitting U less money . There is very little passing in Rape > * seed . We have not heard of any transactions during the week . Both Rape and Linseed Cake dearer , ana
very little doing iu either ; prices , however , without alteration . Bones are more plentiful , and price the same as last week . To day ' s market met with a fair supply of l ' araera' Wheat , for all descriptions of which they are asking , more money . The best dry parcels are taken at an advance of fully la per or , but no advance can be noted in the secondary qualities and those wanting condition , of which the great bulk offering consists . More demand for old foreign , and on the sales of Is per qr more has been paid j all the beat parcels are held at further advanced . rates . There is more doing in Oats , but without any alteration in prices . The best samples of Barley for malting command last week ' s rates ; inferior qualities almost unsaleable . Beans aad Peas are doll sale , at a decline of Is per qr for both articles .
Newcastle Cobn Market , Saturday , Dec 11 . — Wo had a moderate supply of Wheat at market this morning , which met a good demand at Is . per qr . over the rates of this day se ' nnight . A fair extent of business was done in foreign at last week ' s rates , but no advance could be established . Rye is a doll sale . The arrivals of Barley this week are again large , and the inferior qualities have again suffered a further decline of Is . per quarter , while the best qualities are held for the same money , but the , sale is dull . Beans and Poas are offered on lower terms , without inducing purchasers .. Malt is a very dull sale , and again Is . to 2 ^ . per quarter lower . Wfe had a large supply of Oats from tke neighbourhood to-day , aud the demand being good , last week ' s rates were fully maintained . Flour is a very dull sale . '
Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Dec . 13 . — The arrivals of this day week consist chiefly of about 11 , 083 loads of Oatmeal , and about 3 , 834 qra . of Oats from Ireland and coastwise ; from abroad there have been reported 3 , 500 quarters of Wheat and 2 , 320 quarters of Beans ; of other articles of toe trade the supply has been unimportant . At Tuesday's market an advance of 2 d . per bushel was obtained on the better descriptions of foreign free Wheat , and there was an improved demand for
secondary qualities , in which Irish new participated . The trade has sinco been of a steady character , and though the business in free Wheat and barrel Floor has not been extensive , we have had a fa-r demand at the full rates of Tuesday . Oats and Oatmeal have met only limited pa 7 e , but no change can be noted in the previous quotations for either . English Barley is Is . to 2 s . per quarier'lower , and difficult to quit . Ssveral parcels of Egyptian Beana have changed hands at 31 s . to 32 s . per 480 lbs . Peas are without alteration in value . Bonded Wheat has
attracted some attention ; the sales of the last three days may probably amount to 12 , 000 quarters , consisting chitiiy of cargoes to arrive from the Mediterranean ; those of good Odessa and Polish at 44 a . to 47 d . ; B-irletta , 483 . to 49 s . per imperial quarter , cost free on board , including freight . Two parcels in store here have been disposed of , one of Barlerta at 7 s . 4 d ., and another of Egyptian at 5 s . 6 d . per 701 bs . London Corn Exchange ^ Monday , Dec . 13 th . — The supply of Wheat from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was somewhat larger than that of last Monday , and there was an increased quantity of Barley from all these counties , and of Beans and Peas front Essex and Kent , with a good arrival of Barley from Norfolk , and of Oats from Lincolnshire , Yorkshire , and Scotland ; but few fresh arrivals are reported from Ireland . Tke imports of foreign grain have been moderate during the past week . The weatherha 3 continued to be iu as unsettledastate as for sometime
past , and ram fails yet to some extent at short interval ; . Good Eugiish Wheat met a moderate sale at fully as much money , a few dry samples commanding rather over last Monday ' s currency , bat the greater part of the supply was in poor condition , and such was taken reluctantly , but not lower . Ola Foreign Wheat was held with more firmness , which somewhat checked Bales ; the business transacted was only to a moderate extent , and at about the rates of this day so ' tmight . Ship Floar brought the prices of last Monday , the quotations for
townmade were nominally unaltered . Prime Malting Barley met a ready sale at quite as much money , bat secondary sorts were dull , and the turn lower . Old Malt unchanged ia price , but in slow demand , and new offering rather cheaper . Bean 9 , of all sorts , were taken slowly , but must be quoted unchanged in value . Peas met a limited sale , and , all but the best , Is per qr . cheaper . There was a moderate business transacted in Oats , good heavy coin realising last week's currency , whilst the . light ; and Bolt Irish were dull , although offering rather lowe again . Lin 3 ecd was much the same as last week .
London Shithpield Market , Monbay , Dec . 13 . —This having been the day appointed lor holding the great Christmas market , the arrivals of beasts fresh up from our grazing districts were brought in at an early hour , and we have to notice that they exceeded those received at the corresponding market last year by upwards of 600 . Notwithstanding tna immense collection of stock , so perfect were the arrangements effected by the market committee for its reception , that the confusion usually ensuing on these occasions was ia a great measure avoided ; in fact , the only drawback upon the whole proceedings was the uupropitious and unfavourable state of the weather . The main strength of the supply of beasts was derived from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire ,
Northamptonshire , and Warwickshire , with no inconsiderable portion from Norfolk , Suffolk , and Essex . With respect to the general quality of tha beasts , it must be admitted that it was seldom , if ever , equalled , and , when the late rains and tho continued epidemic are considered , it must be allowed that this circumstance reflected the greatest credit upon the graziers . There wag , as usual , a strong competition between the Hereforda aud Devona , and it was a matter of some difficulty to say which carried off the palm this year . As to the Bhorthorns , ruut 8 , Sussex beasts , Scots both horned and polled , and Durhama , they came fully up to our anticipations ; indeed , a more ¦ " even" supply waa scarcely ever befere known . In noticing the best stock in the market , we must not fail to state that uie fifteen short-horns , the property of Sir Charles Knightley , were extraordinarily fine creatures , and every point bore the strictest scrutiny . We much
regret , and so must every member of the club , t ^ at they were not shown in Baker-street . Notwithstanding the attendance of both London and country buyers , but more particularly that of the former , was numerous , the beef trade , comparatively speak-™ gvrom we should infer , the unfavourable 6 tate ot the weather for slaughtering , there being yet two 111 a u te i £ ? veuiDg between this and Christmas , and the advanced rates demanded by the salesmen ) , was dull , yet there was a slight improvement , say of 2 < i per 81 b , upon tho currencies noted on Monday Ust , and a clearance was not effected without difnculty . There was a fair average number of sheep on the market . Prime old Dowus sold at last week ' s currencies , but iu other kinds next to noihingwas passing . Calves were in ehott supply , and sluggish , inquiry at late rates . It should be borne in mind that our general figures for beef do not refer to the prize stock , which , of course , sold at higher rates .

The Weatheb act the Crc ? s . —The weather has been changeable since our last ; and , though mnch less rain has fallen during the week than that which immediately preceded it , still frequent showers have precluded the possibility of farmers gettiug on their lands , and no further progress has been made with wheat-sowing . We still receive disastrous accounts from many parts of the country , of id jury done by rivers oveiflowing their banks ; and we are informed , that in numerous instances large tracts of wheat fteldB are either wholly or partially under water : frost is , therefore , now as much to be dreaded as a continuance of rain—indeed the former would of the two be the more injurious ; and nothing but drying windB and a moderately cool temperature
can well avert the threatened danger . Even under the most suspicions circumstances , there is & strong probability that much wheat land will have to be p loughed up and resown in spring ; and , to say the least , the prospects for the future are certainly well calculated to give rise to serious apprehensions . Should we , however , be blessed with fiae weather , and an open winter , much may yei bo doite to dispel our present fears . The deliveries cf wheat from the growers save been shorter th * n is usually the case just previoas to Christmas , and the trade has assumed a firmer character at most , of the leading provincial markets held during ihe week ; in the absence , however , of anythisg like a lively demand , very little improvement has taken place in prices . —Mark Lane Express .
