Tlis masters have found it to be absolutely impossible to get their pieces wove at so unreasonable a low price as they offered , and offered too for the purpose of underselling those manufacturers who pay good wagus ; and in order to realise their end they have resorted to the following expedient . They have already engaged an old foundry at Bolton-Je-M'ior , in Lancashire , to which they have transported a eonsiderablenumber of bobbins , wheelF , looms , jacquardg , &c . and are now trying , to cull
t . io operatives by tslliug them they will be enabled to earn eighteen shiilings per week upon their work , whilst the real fact is that their old weavers could not earn mure than one half that sum , although they have received considerably higher wages than Me .-srs . W . Norton and Co ., are attempting to gire in Lancashire . The lowest sum which their old weavers have received being thirteen penw per dozen for two hundred jacquards , and fourteen pence per d < . zen for four hundred ; while at Bolton they are offering them but ninepence per dozen for the same goods . Potatoes and salt have long been said to be the hand-loom weaver ' s fare ; but if the above prices get . fully established , it will only be that in very small quantities .

The . valuation' committee presented a report of which the following is a copy :- ^ "In pursuance of the resolution of the Council , we have paid all the claims upon tho yaluation fund , except the sum of £ 500 , which was retained in hand Until the map of the township of Leeds should bo completed v and which , when paid , will leave iu the hands of the treasurer a balaace of about 430- We have entered into an agreement with Messrs , Sharp , to revise and complete the yaluation of the . borough , on or before the 1 st of October next , in time for the 1
use of the overseers in layingthe November rate . The map of the township of Leeds is now nearly finished ; it does hot , however , appear to your com-r mittee that the map will answer the purpose of the Council , as origiiial / y designed , when the map and valuation of the borough was ordered , the alteration of the--plan being caused by the difficulty of making it intelligible . It , therefore , is , in the opinion of your comrflittee , desirable that another map on a scale sufficiently large should be < lrawn , to contain the numbers of the houses corresponding to the book of reference and the names of the streets .
This map we propose to have drawn on a larger scale than the one first proposed , and to divide it into wards , and lithograph it , so that the inhabitants may , if they think proper , have copies of it . We have obtained ah estimate of the supposed cost of this enlarged plan , and the lithographing thereof ^ and wa find both together will amount to the sum of £ 384 for the first hundred , and for each additional huudred the sum of £ 91 . These maps will contain the numbers of the house * and the names of the streets . The ^ lithographing of this and the out-township maps is thought by your committee highly desirable for two important reasons . First , that the
sale of the maps will probably repay the expences Of drawing and ' lithographing the map of Leeds on an enlarged scale , and the lithographing tho outtownship maps ; second , that the utility of the work will be much increased by enabling the " members of the Council , churchwardenSi overseers , fiurveyorsj coo . mis 8 ioners , and other public bodies and inhabitants of tho borough , to -possess a work so valuable , for constant reference at a small price . It will be borne in mind that the scale of the enlarged map 3 is such as to admit of having laid down thereon main sewers , drains , cross drains , gas pipes , water pipes , water plugs , levels , and other similar information . "
The report having been read , a motion was made by Mr . Aid . Luccock that it be filed and adopted but after some conversation it was agreed to file it only , the adoption of its recommendations to be the Subject Of futUTB Cbnsidfy&tioh and i » qu ry . This being the last notice , the Council broke up about a quarter past four o ' clock .

TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTtSTS . My beloved Friends , —I have only time to say that we have done bravely . The devils of the Conference— Vincent j in particular—both in their meetings and at meetings of the Chartist Church , have poured out the venom of their poor wrath © n me and your leaders . I can bear it . They have acknowledged our principles ; butto-mofrbw they are to make an attempt to get into the traces , and place us in the shafts ! Bnt they shant ! ! Our meeting will bo glorious on Monday , The Bradford delegates are fine fellows . This Sturge Conferenca is a remuster of the rump of tho old Malthusian London Working Man's Association .
Sturge is , as I long ago said , too good a man , but too weak ; he is led by those who surround him . He must throw them off , or he must perish . They speak of another National Conference . Then , hurrah for our side ! I will spend my last farthing to make a fair representation of our party , when ifc CODieS . You sKall hear of the finest rfleetnig evei held in Birmingham on Monday next . Ever your Friend and Servant ,. Feargus O'Connor .

The delegates again assembled at ten o ' clock , and aftsr the minutes of the preceding meeting had been confirmed , several delegates reported that they had applied for admission to the Sturge Conference , and their credentials were refused , and pointed out the capricious and partial maniier in which- the com ' mittee of investigation of credentials had treated ithe people ' s delegates . Mr . Peplow reported that the committee , of which Mr . Henry Vincent and Mr . Westerton , of London , and Dr . Wade were members , unanimously rejected the credentials of the peop le ' s d&legates .

" That we , the delegates assembled at Birmingham , consider ourselves responsible to the people , who sent us here , and whose servants we are , and to whom therefore We ahould give an early account of our stewardship ; for that purpose , and in order that we may submit our whole proceedings to the public , we are of opinion that a meeting should be holden on Monday next , the 11 th . instant , at Birmingham , for the purpose of submitting to it , the whole of their delegates'proceedings . ; ^

" That we , the delegates , do hereby invite the several Councils of the several Chartist Associations of Birmingham to meet us at eight o ' clock on Thursday evening , for the pur pose of inquiring into the present state of their organisation , with a view to correct any defects that may appear to exist in the system , and to place their several bodies upon a sound and fiirm ba-is . ? ' Carried unanimously . The committee , for getteng up the public meeting , were ordered to meet at ten o ' clock on Thursday morning ; after which the delegates adjourned till eight o ' clock . ,
WEDNESDAY EYENING . The whole of this evening was occupied in discussions as to the propriety of holding public meetings each night in Birmingham , during the Bitting of the Conference ; and as to the best means of procuring the attendance of the . JBirmingham councila , many of whom being present expressed the general opinion which pervaded the body that the object was most desirable , and would meet With their most cordial co-operation * Tiie delegates sat till eleven o'clock , the room being crammed the whole time , and was adjourned till one o ' clock on Thursday .
There appears to be good generalship ; some where , as the excitement produced by the aiitioipatioubf Monday ' s meeting has attracted all public attention from the Sturge Conference , which is now spoken of as a hoax and a failure , things having taken a different turn from that calculated upon by thevespeotiyeagents of whom the motley group i 8 composed . It is truly laughable and ridiculous to see the unbiassed representatives of the people applying at Mr .
Sturge ' s provision store for their "ticket for soup , " each member receiving a ticket for each meal signed "Joseph Sturge ; " thus practically admitting the principle of payiuent of members : while full , " free , ; and flair representation cannot bembre happily illustrated than in the case of John Collins , who was almost unanimously rejected by his townsmen , and with this flattering mark of distinction was sent to Newport at Mr . Sturge ' s expence , aiid from thence came back as a fiill , fieey and fair popular delegate . O , ghost of Shell I

Taylor weie also loudly cheered . The Chaikman thanked them for the honour conferred on him , and introduced
Mr . J . Bairstow , who was received by the meeting with loud and long-repeated cheering . He delivered a most eloquent addressj in which he ably defended the Chartist movement , and pointed one the objections to the present Sturge movement . He then concluded by chaUenging a discussion with any man on the principles of the People ' s Charter ; and retired amid loud cheering . Mr . E . P . Mead then addressed the meeting in an energetic and humourous address , and was loudly cheered . : The Chairman then introduced
Mr . Feargos O'Connor , who was received with every possible mark of respect and esteem by the crowded and enthusiastic absembly , the ladies , who thronged the gallery , being foremost in testifying their approbation by waving their handkerchiefs fora considerable time . He thanked them for the flattering reception ho at all times received , and proceeded at great length to expose the maiiy attempts made to gull the people . They had been betrayed , because they wove apt to place confidence in the professions of those who merely wanted to use them for their own purposes . He then commented on the manner in Ayhich the Whigs had falsified their many professions , and read a document which
shewed the shameful amount paid for the support of the Birmingham Police , wbich was nearly as much as was required to keep np the whole police establishment in America . He then exposed the various tricks and bloody wars instituted by the Whigs , as a proof of their retrenching propensities . The Cnartists had rallied for seven years under the flag of justice and equal rights . The name of the Charter had been the watchword which had enabled them to beat down all opposition , and would they now give up the name under which they had rallied so long?—( loud shouts of " Noj no , never , and loud cbeer& ) . A ConferenCe WU 8 then sitting in the town called together by Mr . Joseph Sturge . They had also a Conference elected by the
people . There Were thirty Chartist delegates present , to watch the proceedinga of the Conference and watch over the interests of the people , amongst whom was the excellent and honest president of the Executive , Mr . James Leach , one whom the gold of the people ' s enemies .. could hot purchase—< Ioud cheers ) . They had knocked down the "New Move , " the " Fox aiid Goose Club ,- ' and every other device of those who wanted to divide the people , and , with the blessing of God , they would also do away with the Complete Suffrage afrair ,- ^ - ( loud cheers , )—and , in doing so , not only would the people of Birmingham rejoice , but Glasr gow , Manchester , Leeds , and all parts of the country
would triumph with them . He then dwett at great lenath oa the great exertions whioh the men of Birmingham had made in the cause of liberty , and said he had no dpiibt they would do their duty on the preserit occasion . He had witnessed a glorious display in Manchester lately , at which there were upwards of half a million of human beings assembled to do honour to the memory :-of that noble of nature , the late lamented Henry Hunt , and he was confident that every one of them would feet themselves disgraced were they to give up one jot of the Charter , even its name . ( Loud cheers . ) He had stood by the people for a long time ; he had done so without receiving or requiring a farthing from any
man ; and no matter what thoy did , he was resolved and would never agree to go for anything short of the Charter ; he would not even give lip the name--( hea ** , h ^ ar , and loud cheers . ) He then proceeded to explain the efTect that would be produced by Peel's budget , and wittily showed up the manner in which the parties interested woutd object to it , and proved that tho people were the actual payers of all indirect taxation , they having to pay 13 s . 6 d . out of every pound of their hard earnings . Did they think that Mi * . Sturge ' s plan would remove the present system ? —( no , no . ) It was said that the Chartists were the party that kopt Sir Robert Peel in office . Ho denied it . No ; it was the Whiga , who refused to do justice to the pepple—( loud cheers . ) They might talk as they liked about the phypical-force Chartists , but he could point , with sorrow and pride , to the last
year , during which the pcoplo Of this country had endured the most appalling misery and starvation j ; yet they were not guilty of a single crime . What then would be the result if they had au honest parliament of thoir own choosing , with the comfort it wmild produce ? After again reverting to PeePs Budget , and dwelling at great length on the course which thn Chartists ought to pursue , he passed a high eulogium on Mr . James Leach for his services , and concluded by calling on them to rally round the Ghaiter , as their only hope of security and prosperiiy Ha resumed his seat amidst loud and long repeated cheering , Mr . James Leach was then loudly called for , and was received with loud cheers . He proceeded to give an aocount of the impositions aad . robberies practised towards the operatives of Lancashire by the manufaCturer 8-T-somo of the statements created
a tremendous feeling of indignation towards those hypocrites who pretend to be the people ' s friends . Mr . W . D ; Taylok was also loudly called for , and delivered a short address on the propriety of standing firmly by the Charter . He was loudly cheere d . ¦ " ; - , ¦ ¦ ' ¦' . ' , ¦ " '" , .. . ' : * - . . . : ¦ . ¦ . ' : '¦ Mr . O'Connor then addressed the meeting on the propriety of holding a public meeting of the Midland Counties on Monday next , and concluded by passing a high compliment on the houesty aud exertions of t he ^ Chairman in the people ' s causei and by proposing a vote of thanks to him , which was seconded and carried unanimously .
