MANCHESTER .
A mnre meetag of the Chartist mechanics of Manchester was held en Thursday evening week , in the Brosm-street ChartUt Boom , East Macchpster , The meeting "W 3 B free to all-tradea . There -were present a laige samb er of BmHfca and other artisans . -Mr . JAUES DlXOS , an intelligent mechanic , was called totlie chair , who , after a few remarks , called upon Sir . GRirFi > " to read an address , of which the underneath i 3 a copy . During the its&ing of tbe address the working men paid most strict and silent attention , interspersed at times with applause , and at the conclusion cheers resent led from all parts of the room / it was then moved and seconded by two members present , an 4 unanimously adopted as the address of the Chartist mechanics of Manchester to their fellow-workmen .
Tae Chai&has then introduced Mr . James Leach to the mating . >! r . Leach rose and delivered an instructive and argumentative lecture , which was responded to by theplandf . 3 of the assembly . The following isthe address : — TO THE XECBaMCS AND IBaDSS OP GREAT BRITAIN . FELLOW WOBKMEN , —If erer there wss a time in the niKory of our country when it was imperatively the duty of the virtuous , sober , afid patriotic of mV , classes to aroiipe from their slumbers , and be alive to their own Interests , surely , surely , it never was more so than . at the present . TV ¦ vrish , in Gas our -humble address , to call your attention to the awfnl and truly alarming stale of oar country—the cause which has produced such aa acomalcus state of things ; and propose for your corgioeration , what we conceive would be the best lever to lift be on : of our difficulties as a nation ; check the cause which is bringing ruin upon us , ard eitiblish in its placi ; a proper renraneratisn for latx . > ur ; security to capical : create confidence and good-will betwixt tinploj-irrs and workmen ; giye jnstice to all , and injustice i to cone ; give health and vigour to trale , bringing ^ pler : T . ptace , and contentment alike to tbe cottage and * the rulace ; ensare safety and prosperity in the nat " . •" , and make it what it has been—namely , " the I eav- of surrounding nations , ana the admiration of the irorta
-It )^ ust evident every penetrating that the iizii csuse which has brought us to our present dep ; -: -3 urJe condition .. if allowed to esUt , will bring us IowtT i ^ ad lower , by putting a complete stagnation to trads : it will destroy all confidtnee bttwixt man and man ? and , bring about discontent , poverty , hunger , crii ' -e . bloodshed , aiiaichy , murder , universal lain , and dea ' -h . To prevent such devastation and calamity requires the « rtion of every tree lover of himself , his wife and children , posterity and Ms country .
There are thousands of our fellow creatures bordering ' < d 3 state of actual starvation—thousands of the xeai pride and prop of the nation—namely , industrious Bien , fcavsbeen compelled to leave their country , to asei s Jiving in another j whi .-st thousands of those who- are willing to work , could they obtain it , have been driven to the degrading alternative , eiti-er to starve , go out to beg , or go to the bastiie- We Bee vice , pauperism , bankruptcy , Wretchedness , and distress stalking forth -wita -unblushing fcaraUiDWl , tllrongh the IanJ . The present system is fraught with , danger to the best int erests of society . What , then , is the cause ?—Class legislation . From this impure fountain tas sprung tfie upas tree of corruption , which has spread its withering blighting branches through the institutions of the country .
The system itself contains that which would prove its u ^ n destruction even if we did not interfere ; but whils * the system is going to ruin , the consequences are tl _ at tha people are the sufferers . Whilst shopkeer-fcrs , publicans , and tradesmen are living upon wha ; little capital they have created formerly , the constitutions of the working classes are being broken down by crief , hunger , and starvation ; they must , as a matter of course , sink deeper and deeper in privation and destitution ; more and more every week will be driven to seek relief in consequence of being thrown out of employment , which will raise the poor rates , and cause a greater demand upjn property ; money "Will > e taken out of circulation ; cottage property will ¦ fae ruinously depreciated in value , in consequence of the
tpe-j-ple not being able to pay their rents , or the Mouses will remain empty . It will ba as much as the working classes can do to purchase even the coarsest kind of food ; to purchase furniture or clothing shortly will ^ be enur-ly out of their power ; their not being able to consume gh taxed articles will reduce the revenue , and csuss the Government to lay all their taxes on property , which will destroy the middle class , and make only two classes in society , the one very rich , and tbe othe .- very poor . The home maiket if being derfcrvjc . 1 . There are many shopkeepers who are not taking sufficient to keep themselves , to say nothing of paying taxes , their shopmen ' s wages and other expenses , landlords will have to pay th » interest of money and ground rent , and this will in time- ruin
them ; shopmen will have to be discharged , which will £ bro ~ 3- more into the labour market ; and the manufac turers will not be able to find » market for their goods neither t& home nor abroad—than comes the crisis . If we are to meet other nations in the same market , we aneht , in order to be successful , to have the same advantages ; instead of which we have to carry greater burdens titan the people of a ^ y , and in some instances than all the ^ n Hnng against which we have commercially to compete . Our National Debt is £ 158 . , 600 more than the National Debts of France , Austria , Holland , Sp ^ -n , Russia , Belgium , Prussia , Naples , Denmark , &rt * = c « , Portugal , Columbia , Mexico , Brazil , Peru , Q-ili , and Baenos Ayres put together . Our State Chorea costs £ 500 . 000 per * nr . Trm more than all the State Csurchesof the world . Oar Queen receives more in one year thanwonld pay the American President for
more than one hundred and fifty years . The artizsns of Bom e cf the above countries are taxed per head , not more th * n twelve shillings , whilst in this ' country , fee taxation per bead is more than £ 3 10 s . per annum . Our capital , skili , machinery , and artizms have gone into conntries ¦ which we formerly furnished with our manufactures In A : nerica many of the mills , indeed most of them are worked by water power ; the same power which would cos : only £ 2 10 g . by water there , would cost the English manufacturer £ 12 10 s . in steam . We have to go into those eounoita to fetch the cottoa , bear the expeLc * cf carriage , and run all risk , manufacture it into goods , and then pay the expence of carriage , shipping , &c back , whilst they , our competitors , have the \ ratsr . the cotton machinery , plenty of good land , light taxation , plenty of coal and iron , as good English srtizxus ss we have , and a market under their noses . -
Here , then , are the odds against us ; from this you may predict our inevitable rain . What is the remedy ? Tr&yts "Unions ? No , they have been tried and found "wacung , and have caused ill-feeling betwixt master and miu . and driven each to great sacrifices , and always injurious to society at large . Eepeal the law of primogeflitsre , that would only be one bad law , which is only an effect of class legislation . Repeal the poor law , the r oral police law , the game law , the money , or the corn law , or any one single law on the Statute Book , and leave the root of the evil untouched , and you will be only dabbling with the effects of class legislation The tree is known by its fruits ; evil fruit ever will Bpricg from class legislation . It is a violation of the uattrai rights of man , and based upon a wicked system of id justice to the excluded . \ V ? rausfc go to the root of the evil ; wemnst have an org ^ Tuc change ; we must o pen wider the d oors Gf repre sentation , and give justice to all , and render injustice to
none-Oar plan , our remedy , our cure , our panacea , is the People ' s Charter , without appendage , nnmutilated eiti . tr in details or name ; and we are determined to agi ^ - * e for that , and that alone , until it is made into a legislature enactment . In this resolve we have already the co-operation of the working men of upwards of four hundred towns , who are members of-the N * tional Charter Association—many of the middle class and shopkeepers , an ; trades , besides men of tbe most sterling patriotism an 4 transcendent abilities . Thousands are joining every wetk ; and almosi ereij other agitation has nearly -rerged into that of the Charter , believing that to be : Le only safe guard to keep the vessel from sinking , At the first grand point of our Char ter , we advocat-. Universal Sni&age liable to the following conditions : —
" That the voter shonld be a male , twenty-one years of a § e , cf Bound nikid , unconvleted of crime , not guilty of personation , bribery , er forgery of election certificates , and can prove a three months' residence as a t viiseholder or lodger . " The above is the "Universal Suffrage of the Charter ; a fcu 3 rage for the virtuous only , from which the per-EdioTis traitor to his country ' s rights would be exduacd ; . a suffrage discriminating , equitable , and just , founded on natural law and first principles . God and nature not having made any difference in our coming into the world and going out of the world , there ought not to be any distinction , politically speaking , in our voyage through the world . If any portion of the community are entitled to their birth-right , and ought to enjoy it , surety those who produce everything valuable in society ought not to be excluded .
Tote fay Ballot we advocate , deeming it the only safeguard of the poor but consdentioas voter—his only protection against bribery , corruption , and intimidation : but we resist the Ballot without the Suffrage as nseless and insufficient , upon the same principle that we ¦ would a scabbard without a sword . We advocate for Annual Parliaments , because they would preserre mere closely the connection between the elector and the representative , prevent bad govemjnent arising from corrupt Minister * , and Senators troubled with short memories and truckling principles ; and because the first panaiple of the Charter cannot be properly and honestly carried out without ik If a man come of age just after an election under Triennial Parliaments , he would hsve to remain nearly three jean before he could be made a freeman and exercise the privilege of voting .
We advocate for Equal Representation , at by its introduction the constituencies , m some cases bo disproportionately numereus , would be reduced ; in others so diminutive would be multiplied , so that Harwich with its 150 electors would not send as eqesl number of Members to Parliament with the thousands cf Westminster , fee .

We advocate the No Property Qualification for Members of Parliament , on the principle that it is neither the extent of a man ' s acres nor the depth of his purse that qualifies him for a legislator ; but that political integrity , mental intelligence , moral sups ' riority , and imwaveiing consistency , in patristic devotion to our commen country , form infinitely more important , nay , indispensable qualifications for the senator and the statesman . Payment of members we think necessary under the operation of & No Properly Qualification Parliament , as the most efficient guarantee for the faithfulness and integrity of tha representative .
These , then , are our political principles . They are abstractedly just ; they partake of the eternity of truth and the stability ef the immutable . No contrivance , no shuffling , no threats will ever induce ua to forsake them ; the only way to lead us from this is , by fair discussion , to show that they are contrary to truth , not our rights , and also impracticeble . We believe that though the country is in an awful state , those principles will , if adopted , prove a remedy . There are sufficient elements and materials in Great Britain to make the people happy , comfortable , prosperous , and free ^ Under a just government every human being might be put in possession of a good education ,. good clothing , good food , and good shelter ; the government knowing this , and baling the opportunity to carry it out , awl not doing it ought not to be tolerated , but immediately Teformed .
Oar past Government has not secured those necessarits to the people ; asd the present , we believe , will not ; hence it is that we appeal for your assistance to do it for euraelves ; or , in other words , to obtain the power to elect a Government who will be pledged to do tLe people justice . Brother mechanics , we call upon you aa you love yourselves , as men who wish to be free , as you detest slavery and bondage , to show your affection for your wives and children , as yon wish to show your attachment to liber ty , to come forward , convene yonr meetings as early as possible , and join the National Charter Association . Follow the noble example set by a few of the trades of Manchester , that is , the joiners , smiths , fustian cutters , painters , boiler makers , and auoemakers ; be not last in the field . Roiaember , that it was more owing to tbe dttermination and spirit in which the trades in particular demanded t ' . e Reform
Bill that xt was passed . Bear in mind , that if you do nut alter the system it will destroy you , and you will bequeath slavery t » posterity ! The National Charter Association iB strictly legal . Arouse , end put your shoulders to the wheel ; enrol yourselves , and extend the Association . Be firm , sober , united , and persevering , and we must sueceed . Let liberty be our motto ; and ba determined to gain it The factions—the enemies to your interests dread you , the trades , most . When the trades of Great Britain unitedly declare for tbe Caarttr in a voice not to be misunderstood , it will be gained ; and then you live in tbe sunshine of Ireeaom , bask in the shades of plenty , and rejoice in tbe success of your exertions , your homes stored with tbe good things which nature sends so plentifully , your children and posterity will hold you in lasting remembrance for good fathers , good husbands , and brothers .
That you may come forward and lend an helping hand , by joining the Association , which is destined to break the neck of tyranny , oppression , and injustice , snd be the salvation of yourselves Mid Country , ifl the sincere irLsb ot Your fellow-workmen , Tbe Chartist Mechanics of Manchester . Signed , on behalf of the Mechanics , in public meeting assembled , James Dixon , Chairman . June 30 , 1842 .

The following comes from New York : — " Are you fond of novels , Mr . Jones ? " " Very , " responded the interrogated gentleman , who wished to be thought by the lady questioner a lover of literature . " Have you , " continued the inquisitive lady , " ever read Ten Thousand a Year ? " " No , Madam 5 I never read so many novels in all my life . " Alabmikg Accident at BBiGHTou .-r-On Saturday night , about nine o'clock , the neighbourhood of the Montpellier-road was thrown into great consternation by a loud report . Several persons rushed out of their houses to ascertain the cause , when they
discovered it arose from the falling of a mansion recently erected by Mr . George Cheeseman , and nearly finished . It appears that another builder commenced digging a foundation for an adjoining house , which he dug below Mr . Cheeseman ' s , and by so doiug has caused its total destruction , the whole of the roof , the various floors and front wall doTni to the kitchens , being one heap of ruins . A number of men engaged in finishing the honse bad providentially leftan hour before the accident took place . Scaffoldiflg was erected to keep the public off , as the next house is in a tottering condition . Brighton employs a well paid towa surveyor for the jrorectioa of the public .

Lancashire ; as Merthyr Tydvil , ; in Wales ; and some few other places ; what Would be our position now ? Why . that instead of being hardljr able to call the new Executive together , aa is the case ; we could employ twenty agitators to go into the agricultural districts to arouse the whole of . our labouring population . It is true much has been done ; and much is doing . It is true that Doyle , West , Jones , and the local agitators have spread our principles far and wide in Yorkshire ; Cockbuvn , in the Newcastle district ; Williams , in Durham and Sunderland ; in Lancashire ^ Bell , Z * each ^ Cartlidge , Duffy , Brophy , Dixon , Littler . Roberts , Ciarfe , and a host of others , meet the enemy in any direction he may choose to appear ; baffle and destroy him , Harney , Bawstov , Cooper , Harrison , Taylor ,
Sweet , and others , have worked wonders in the Midlands . Richards , and the good men of the Potteries have carried Chartism into almost every hamlet in their district . Linney is doing his share of the work in Bilston . Mason and White in the Birmingham district . Mogg and Child are extending it into the remotest parts of Shrbpshire . Ridley , Wheeler , Parker , Maynard , Stallwood , and a host of others , too numerous to mention , have made greater progress in forwarding Chartism in the Metropolis , than was ever done before . Williams and Sinieon , in Wales ; whilst Beesley has carried it into the hills of Cumberland . Now what does all this tend to ? Why just this , that in despite of poverty , threats , loss of employment , spies , persecutions , and prosecutions , in all cases "where our opinions could fairly be brought forth and . publicly tested , they have been approved of ; but let us not be so
foolish as to imagine tbai 400 places are enough to be enrolled under our sacred banner ; or that 60 , 000 members are sufficient to be united together . No , no ; that wont do ; we must have 200 Q places incorporated , and 1 , 000 , 000 men united . Let us no longer be apathetic — let us no longer lay the flattering linction to our souls that we are te obtain 'liberty easy . If we are to secure the great object we have in view , we . must struggle unceasingly for its attainment . JLet us be resolved to send mend into Cumberland , Westmoreland , Northumberland , and Durham . Let every place where there is a good association imitate the noble example set by the Gdneral Council that assembles monthly in Manchester to employ the county lecturer , and transact the other business in connection with the county—namely , to assist those places that have no Associations to open one in each place .
The Council immediately despatched their lecturer , Mr . William Bell , into the . more southern parts of Lancashire . The consequeneo was that in a fortnight he extended the Asaociation to five ! fresh ; plaCfeB , besides vUltinK several that were before incorporated in the National Charter Association . Mr . Bell immediately furnished me with the name of the sub-Secretary in each place , gave them instructions how to correspond with me , and otherwise how to bet . Every authorised lecturer ought always to have cards with him . and ought to induce as many places to join us as possible , and send me word whenever a new place becomes , united , with the name of the eab-Secretary . '¦ ¦; . ;' . ' ; ' . ¦ . ' .. ¦ ¦/ ¦ ... ¦ ¦ : . " . ; . '
See the field that is open before u » . The names of the following counties are hardly ever beard tell of : — Hereford , Hertford , Bedford , Keritj Surrey , Essex , Middlesex , Devon , Cornwall , Gloucester , Worcester , Glamorgan , Flint ; € atdigan , Montgomery , Carnarvon , Buckingham , Berks , Dorset , Huntingdon , Lincoln , Oxford , Semerset , Southampton , Suftolk , Cambridge , Danbigh , Anglesea , Hants , Pembroke , - 'ice . &c &c , Have these counties been sufficiently agitated ? : Are tbe popalation BDfficiently alive to their interests , rights , and wrongs ? No ; nay more . Are the two great Chartist counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire sufficiently agitated ? No , I uhheaitatingly answer , no ; and yet somenlen seem to imagine they are . However Messrs . Doyle , West , Duffy , Brophy , Leach , Beesley , Cartlidge , Bell ,
Campbell , Bailey , Littler , and others , can give positive an-Bwers on that head . It is very truo that some places are sufficiently bo , bnt those few dy not compose even the majority . For the sake of the cause , for our own sates , for the love we bear ow families , ^ and by oui hopes of happiness in the next world , I implore of you to unite as one man to save our country from ruin . Let yon , who are comparatively well off , boldly declare for justice for alL Look at the poor emaciated creatures who are almost driven to frenzy by the atrocious enactments of Whig and Tory . No secrecy of any kind—we are really becoming powerful . No other political party can move outside of the House of Commons , except
ourselves . Let us avoid the trammels of the law . Let every man read Mr . Parker ' s letter in last Saturday ' s Star . Expel spies from amongst you . Avoid disunion ; and above all , swear on th 3 altar of your country , you are determined to be free ; Imitate the noble example set by the fustian cutters , carpenters , joiners , mechanics , boiler makers , smiths , find boot ; makers ef Manchester , who have boldly declared for the principles of the People ' s Charter , and who hive already joined the National Charter Association . 1 remain , 1 Your brother democrat , John Campbell .

THE EXECUTION OF ^ COOPER . On Monday morning Cooper , the murderer of Daley , th £ policeman , was executed at the Old BaHey . The multilude assembled , to witness the scene appeared to be aa great as that at the execution of Good , and seVeral men and women were in a statp of intoxication , and evidently attended to enjoy the horribJe exhibition . TheR ^ v . Mr . Carver , who has besn in constant attendance upon the convict since the Sheriffs intimated that the execution should take place at a Btated time , sat with him during the greater part of the evening of Sunday , and heard from him a long history of enormities , which he a ' . eo detailed to the Sheriffs . ¦ - "' ' .. . -, '""¦' "¦ ¦ . : .,. " :. : \ . '¦ ¦ -. ¦ , " ¦ . ¦ .: - ' . ¦
Cooper declared , without the least hesitation , that he deserved to die a violent death , for be had committed not only the niqrder of Daley , but between twenty and thirty highway robberies . He managed to escape for a considerable time , he said , by admitting no companion in his robberies , and by uniformly soiling tbe . watches and other articles he thus obtained to the Jews , instead of taking them to the pawntrokera , whom he designated as the very worst enemies a poor thief could have . He always appeared in a mask , and seldoni met with the least resistaiice from those whom he attacked , but he never seriously injured any one , except on the day ha committed the fatal violence for which he was sontenced to be executed ^ Once he stated , by waa struck by a baker at Islington , whose watch he stole , but a knock-do ^ n blow from his fist soon stttled the business , and the
assaulted person was glad to get away with his life . He never appeared 6 u the , highway Without having in his possession a brace of loaded pistols , buf . be never before the day ha shot Daley attempted to use them ; He frequently upon going int © the company of women of the town took out his pistols and laid them down , mentioning , at the same time , tha affuir in which he bad been previously engaged , but in no instance had he been betrayed—a circunistance for which be could not , he said , at all account , except by ascribing their sUence t © their fears of his violence , or their disbelief of his desperate statementa of the enterpriaa in which he had been engaged . He told the Sherifis that he felt greatly obliged to them for not having " made a show ' of him on Sunday in the chapel , and assured them that he would have opposed any attempt to compel him to attend divine service , if they had not given orders for the exclusion of the public .
The wretched convict several times expressed , lrarrie diately before his execution , his abhorrence of being "hanged like a dog" before ; i crowd , although he knew " the nboking" would give him little or no pain . He was greatly subdued in spirit when the executioner entered his . cell and began to pinionhiai , and he trembled excessively as he walked along the passages to the place of execution . He uttered not a word after he was placed in the hands of the hang man , but walked slowly supported by that functionary and an assistant to the platform , upon ascending which he was saluted , with yells and groans . He died without niuch apparent suffering . The witnesses to the execution , who were within the prison , were only the Sheriffs , the Undersheriffs , the Ordinary , the Goveriior , the executioner , and his assistant . The Sheriffs considered it to _ be neceBsary , in conBeqnence of the misrepresentatibna which have frequently been made , to exclude all persons except those whose duties were immediately connected with the prison .

HOUSE OF UmDS-Friday , July 1 . Petitions against placing the medical charities of Ireland under the regulation of the Poor Law Commissioners were presented , and also on tho subject of the employment of females and young children in coal mines , and complaining of taxes upon knowledge . Lord Campbell stated that it was not his intention to introduce during the present session , any bill regulating the law of evidence in Scotland . After some observations . on the nature of the law of evidence in Scotland , the Noble and Learned Lotd said that he should , after a cartful examination of the present law , introduce a bill to assiuiilate the law of evidence in Scotland to that of England . \
The Lord Chancellor postponed the second reading of the bill for the Limitation of Action in Ireland until Friday , next . A message from the Commons brought up several bills . The House then adjourned .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Friday . The Eatl of Devon ' B Estate Bill was rend a second time , and ' ordered , to be committed ; the New South Wales Bill was read a third time , and passed ; the Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a third time , and passed ; the Manchester . Birmingham , and Bolton Police Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed ; the Ordnance Services Bill was read a second time , and orderud to be committed . Lord John Russell moved the further consideration of the report on the Bribery Bill .
The Solicitor-General said that he knew that there was but one feeling with regard to the subject of thebill-r-namely , that the bill should be made as effective as possible . Now , in its present shape , it was impossiblfi that it could be of any effect ; and without pointing out the defects in the bill as it now stood , he would suggest to the Noble Lord that the better course would be to refer it to a select committee , who would put it into an effective shapo , which they would do in a much more satisfactory manner than by a committee of the whole house .
After a few observations from Mr . C . Wood , Mr . OConneU , and one or two other Hon . Members , the bill was re-committed . The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the orrttr i . f the day for going into committee of supply . Mr Wallace then rose to move the following re > solutions , of which he had given notice , viz :- ^ - 1 . That the trades and manufactures of this country are labouring under great embaraHsment and difficulties . 2 . That the industrious classes are alsosuffering many privations and severe distress . 3 . That this state of things has been gradutilly advancing for several years past , and is now extending in a nioat alarming degree .
i . That the alterations made in the Corn Laws , an 4 lii the duties en iniporta and exports ^ coupled as these have besn with an income tax , to add nearly four millions of taxation to this already heavily-burtliened country , cannot be expected to afford tbat-relief which the continually declining state of trade , and tho distressed condition of the people so urgently require . 5 That the welfare cf her Majesty ' s f a ithful people , nnrl the future peace and security of the country , imperatittiiy demand that effectual measures shall immediately be taken to rescue the working classes from the privations and sufferings they have so long borne , with a degree of patienc * and fortitude which specially entitle them to tha affectionate sympathy Of their sovereign , and to the respect , commisseratiou , and as-Bistanee of the House .
6 . That thcrtfore an humble address be presented to her Mujesty , praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to refuse her consent to tho prorogation of Parliament , until a diligent and searching inquiry shall be instituted into the causes of the unprecedented distress existing at present all over the kingdom ; and thereafter , until her MajeBty and this House shall have been assured by her Ministers , that effectual means are secured to provide sustenance for the unemployed and their destitute families , until their sufferings shall be terminated by demand for their industry , and wages for their labour . " . ; . The Hon Gentleman drew an affecting picture of appalling distress under which the working classes were now labouring , and which was continually augmenting . Mr . Walker seconded the motion . * ;
Dr . Bowring affirmed that the difitreas was daily on the increase . Tho present crisis was one which appealed to our feelings of benevolence and humanity , as men and Christians . They had incurred a vast expence in an unnecessary war in a remote part of the world , whiUt millions of starving people were asking for bread . They asked merely for a market for their labour , but this was refused . The present state of the working classes was even perilous ; . and in many districts it was impossible to collect the tatea . Onetonth of the population was dependent upon charity ; and would they depart to their homes without sympathising with their woes ? He hoped toey wouidnot . The Poor Laws and the Corn Laws can-

AGiioNBY expressed siaiilar sentiments , and bore testimony to the exemplary patience with vrbich the working classes endured their distress . : = ¦ , ; Sir James Grabam sympathised with the Bufferings cf the people , but he deprerated toe language nsed by Hbn . Members respecting it , for it \> Dly tended to shake public credit and aggravate the evil complained of . He traced what he considered to be the principal causes ol thedistress to the late financial derangements in America , : thg war in China , ic He sincerely beHeved that a sudden change in the Corn Laws would operate adversely upon the agricultural labourers , ; and would involve all tho labourerR of this country in one common ru 5 n . .

Mr . Ward disapproved of the ambiguity of the motion of his Hon . Friend . It was useless to prolong the session unless there was something to discuss , and some definite measurea fer relief should be brought before the H > usa . The supporters of the Corn Laws required , proof of the most selfovident truths . The people did not want charity , but they wanted to exchange the produce of their labour for food . They ( the people )! wanted to Jbe allowed to labouxfpr their living . NO men had a right to nndertako tile gbvemment of thiB country , unless they wero prepared to apply ; a remedy to the existing distress . We should give an example to foreign countries by the adoption of , enlightened views , instead of Stirring up their prejudices by our short sighted policy . The . people merely wished for an extension of those principles involved in the change of the tariff . That
j ; reat distress ; existed was undeniable . In the town of Leeds nearly one half of the population was out of employ ; ai ) d the unemployed people of Sheffield were scattered over the cpantry . and depending npon . cisual relief for subsistence . Every one of these . ' ..-men traces the causes of his sufferings to the existing restrictions on traiie ; and they wanted a free trade in the neces " : saries of Ufa . Parliament could do much ; for if they did their duty the prosperity of the manfacturersweuld soon be restored . Bat they were blinking the real question when they talked of charitable subscriptions—( hear , hear ) . He ( the Hon . Baronet ) would perhaps be obliged to open the ports before the winter ; and they weu Id not be able to grapple with the evil unless they abolished the Corn Laws , or imposed a very saiall nxed duty--- ( cheers ) . ;
After some observations from Mr . Blake and Mr . Disraeli ; ' . ' : ; . ; : ' / , ' ¦' ; , ' ' " . ¦ ¦¦ . - . ¦ ' ¦¦ : ¦ : '" - . ' - ¦ : '¦ ¦ : air . Hume considered the Corn Laws and other commercial restrictions to be the principal cause of the prevailing distress . Countries whose Bole exchangeable commodity was com , could not take eur good 3 ; the Americans and other countries ' :, Could not deal with us , because we refused to take their corn in exchange . Mr . Attwood opposed the motion ^ Lord John Russell disapproved of the motion of his Hon . Friend , because it suggested no remedy for the existing distress ;; and he ridiculed the inconsistency of the advocates of the new tariff , who , whilst
they admitted the principle that the redaction of the duty on cotton ; &c . would increase the consumption of these articles , yet could not see the analogy between that , and the introduction of foreign corn , at a fixod duty . ' He considered that mode of reasoning aa -utterly fallacious * Which supposed it necessary for France , id the eyent of our imposing a duty on her goods , to impose one on ours in return . It only encouraged sniuggUng , and was , besides , a most illiberal and short-: sighted policy ; and he would , whenever it was requisite , give bis vote for an aUeratibn in tha present Corn Laws . The Hon . Gentleman who made the motion tonight , had not pointed out any definite remedy for the existing evil , and he must oppose it accordingly .
Sir B . Pejel animadverted upon the resolution ef the Hon . Gentleman , but particularly on the one which refeired to an address to her Majesty . The Hon . Gentleman had not the fairness to investigate his ( Sir R . PeeVs ) remedy . Were the Corn Laws abolished , it would not matsraJly diminish the d ^ tress in the manufacturing districts ; it was the immediate consequences of improved machinery . : ' ¦ : ' . : ¦ : . ' ¦ ¦ . ¦ Mr . Gibson said , an import trade necessarily created an expert trade . Hence the fallacy of the opponents of free trade . Then , what was mare reasonable than to
institute an inquiry ? If he shrunk from the question merely on account of the wording of the resolution , he should be laughed at , and it would be considered merely as an excuse to shrink froni inquiry ^ They ( the manufacturer !}) only asked for leave to exercise their industry , but tho agriculturists came to the House to demand , that other people ' s iiidustry should be checked for their benefit . He believed the Incoine Tax would be derived from the funds destined to maintain labour , and the end of it would be to make the labouring elassea worse than they were at present . ¦'; . > ,

The Unemployed . —We understand that there is an immediate prospect of a considerable number of the unemployed obtaining work . The trustees ef the middle district have voted £ 200 toward the expence of making the road through the Charity Workhouse grounds , from tha Candlemaker-row to the head of the Meadow-walk ; the GommiEsioners of Improvements give £ 100 ; and a considerable sum is expected trom the committee that takes charge of the fHnd for the unemployed . And several other matters of local improvement are spoken of , which w ' . ll tend to give employment for a time . — Edinburgh Observer .
Newspaper Stamps ANrr Advertisements . —From a return laid before the House of Commons , it appears that , since tho reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers in 1837 , the number of newspapers published in the United Kingdom has been nearly doubled . In 183 G , when the stamp was four-pence for each paper , the total number of stamps issued was 35 j 576 , 056 ; and , in the year ending March 31 , 1842 , it had increased to 61 , 495 , 503 . In the former year the amount of duty was £ 443 , 278 , while in the latter it wag £ 253 , 779 , showing a gradual increase
siiioe 1837 , when the duty was £ 217 , 480 . The number of advertisemehts in 183 G ' waa 1 , 432 , 612 , and the duty £ 103 , 248 ; while in 1841 they had increased respectively to £ 1 , 778 ^ 57 , arid , £ 128 , 318 . The increase in tho number of stamps issued has taken place chiefly on papers published in Great Britain , as will ha sben from the following returns i-TStamps for Irish papers in 1836 , 5 , 144 , 582 ; in 1841 , 5 , 986 , 639 , English papers , for the same years , 27 ^ 777 , 036 , and 419 , 674 . 855 .
