      THE PARLIAMENT . Wobk seems to have now begun in right earnest . The reader will find below Lord Stanhope ' s speech , on introducing his motion : — " That this House do resolve iteelf inlo a committee of the Tthole House , for the purpose of taking into its most serious consideration the present condition of the Productive Classes 0 / the United Kincdotn , triih a view io providing Jor their PROTITABIB ESIPIOTMENT and ihe improveaitfit 0 / their condiiion . " The motion is an important one , whatever may be its fate .

      Mr . Febbakd seems to have buckled on his armour afresh , to battle with the Leagued Free-Trading Oppressors of the Poor . His speech on the " Address" gave evidence of that fact ; and what was then wanting to show his full intentions regarding the confederated band ef Freebooters , ia abundantly supplied by the Amendment which he haa given notice , that he will move in opposition to Mr . Yilliebs ' s motion for another ** Extension" of our " Capital diminishing" Foreign Trade . That Amendment is a tickler for the League men Let the reader note it well ! It is not often that

      motions containing so much truth , and evincing such indubitable proofs of courage and standing up for the rights of the poor , are made in the House of Commons . The " Debate , " when the Amendment comes to be diBcussed , will be an inf cresting one / if the u forms of the Honse" will permit Mr . Febband to move it . It will be seen that the Speaker hinted that the terms of it should be becoksidebk © ! They are too truthful to be palatable .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Thdbsdat Feb . 9 . Their Lordship 3 assembled at five o'clock . Some " talk" about *• Ribbonism" in Ireland took place , after which , Lord Stanhope brought forward the motion of which he had given notice on the

      DISTRESS OP THE COTTJTTBr . On the order of the day being read , Lord Stanhope rose and said that he was aware that a humble individual like himself , attached to no political party , had little hope or expectation of support in any motion he might submit . He did not consider the results of a Parliamentary inquiry as the test of truth . Mr . Fox had declared that a minority of the House of Commons frequently spoke the publio opinion truly , and that it was especially trne with regard te the doctrines of free trade , which might be acceptable to persons of fixed incomes , but they were odious and injurious to all the productive classe ? . Foreigners paying a much less amount of taxes , were , of course , enabled to

      furnish every article of produce at a much lower rate than the productive classes of this co an try . All the anticipations of Hilt . Huskisson had been fulfilled bj the event , and while we had been decreasing -our import duties , other nations had wisely been increasing theirs . The last general election had proted that the free trade doctrines were odious to the community , for a triumphant majority had been returned in favour of the principle ot protection . He conld hardly have conceived that the promises then made would have been broken in the ensuing year ; that so Biany of those who had then crept into * Parliament under false preteneeB would have shown such base servility as would never be forgotten or forgiven . He thonght that the present Ministers

      were as erroneous in their policy as the late Ministers had heen , and the conntry would have been in less danger if the late Ministers had continued in office , for tbsy had not the power to carry their measnre *; whereas the present Ministers had thatpower . He thougat tfce change of Ministers , as it had tnrned out , was an went deeply to be lamented , for the hist ray of hope had disappeared that a change of Minis-Wy would have been accompanied b y a change of measares ; the vessel of the State bore a Conservative flag , but was steering in a Whig course . He assEmed that the conduct of the Prime Minister waa founded upon conscientious motives , but he should wish teknow at what period it was thathe had arrived at the conviction that the protection afforded

      to agncniture was -etceEi-ive , and that it was ne-¦ cessarj that that protection should be diminished . He believed that the . rosalts of the late election had been obtained by a gross < delu 8 ion . He believed that if the agricultural interest had been aware of the intentions of the leaderof the ^ Government with respect to the dJQHDntion of the protection to British agricul tiire . tbe result of that -ejection would have been entirely different—( hear , hear . - bear ) . But let them consider the condition in whieb the country was now placed . He would intreat of kheir LordnhipB seriously to turn their attention to t ^ e lemarkable circumstances under which they had again assembled . Consequences of the most alarming nature might be naturally expected from a continuanc e of the distress

      in which the people were invoWed . Huudreds of thousands of our industrions population were pnffering from a state of helpless destitution , " and if such a state of things were to remain unrei » " » edied , the evil , there was but too muchreison to i . pprehend , must ultimately end in a social revolution . Let them take as an instance of the decline of the condition of our industrious classes the diminished waj / es now paia ^ to our band-loom -wearers . It appeared from the \ Report of the Commissioners who hat' inqujjred into the , conoition of the hand-loom wea ^ erp , that in the beginning of the present century a hai * dloom weaver could e » rn 26 s . 8 d . a week , while the . ? could earn in 1833 no more than 03 . 6 d . a week * ; and the condition of our population hadsince the

      , year 1833 , become still more deteriorated . It would now be impossible to exaggerate the intensity of their distress . He believed , on the contrary , that so far from having been exaggerated , it had never been presented in colouru bo glaring as the reality would jBstifj . He thonght that much of the evil might be tracea to over-production , and those alterations in machinery which threw thousands out of employment . The dangers of that over-production seemed to have been fully foreseen by a man whom he considered as a high authority upon the subject—he meant the late , not the present Sir R . Peel—( a augh ) . But the deep distress to which he wished to call the attention of their LordBhips was felt not pnlyhy anx manufacturing , but also by our agricul .

      Untitled Article

      tural population . All classes were embraced in the wide-spread evil . The value , of property in our ColonifcS had greatly decreased . He himself knew of two estates in the West Indies , formerly yielding £ 10 , 000 a-year , and n « w allowed to go out of cultivation . He could not help expressing on that occasion his condemnation of the present tariff , —a measure adopted with the utmost rashness , and with a most reokksa disregard of consequences , —a measure which might be considered more revolutionary , not in its political , but in its social effects , ; than any that had ever been proposed . That measure had greatly diminished the value of agricultural produce , while it had not led to any revival of manufacturing prosperity , or to any alleviation of

      manufacturing distress . Under its operation we had admitted foreign agricultural produce , to the depreciation of our own , while foreigners had purchased less than ever of the products ol British industry : 'thua showing the folly of the main arguments by which the measure had been supported . He thought their Lordships had no right to pass measures affecting the labouring classes , who were not represented in the other House of Parliament . To show the state of the country , in January last , be attended a vestry meeting , and there it was Btated that there were forty-four labourers out of employment in the parish . The farmers stated that they had plenty of work for them , but they had no means to pay them . It had been stated that twothirdsof the landed property in Scotland had been blown to the winds already . This meant that it had been reduced two-thirds in value . He was no

      repealer of the union , but he thought Irishmen were more indebted to him , or at least as much , as to the great agitator himself—( hear , hear ) . What had been the declaration of the present Prime Minister ? He had entirely approved of the doctrine of free trade . He ( Lord Stanhope ) had heard it said that the late measures were not to be final ones , but that protection was not all to be given up at once . . Since Parliament had met another declaration had been made , but one sot likely to afford great satisfaction or encouragement—that it was not intended to alter the new Corn Law , —that no further measures in free trade were contemplated this session ; and if any measure was to be proposed next year , it would still be in the same spirit as the present . Their Lordships were aware that the revenue derived from the Excise was justly considered as a correct criterion of the state and cdndition of the

      people , —collected as it was from a great variety of articles of general consumption , and that revenue had declined last quarter , £ 700 , 000 , as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1841 . He knew it bad been said that this was one of the consequences of the manufacturing distress ; but he should like to know whether the manufacturing distress had been greater in the last quarter of last year than in the third quarter . What a disgraceful contrast did this country exhibit in comparison with France ! The Government of that country had been warned by our example , and been induced to follow a different course , and givo protection to the industry of its manufacturing population . The productive and industrial classes had a ri < htto demand such protection , and if they

      were not sufficiently protected , no country could be prosperous or secure . It could not prosper , if those classes that should be consumers were too poor to purchase ; and it could not be secure , because distress made them the ready tools of political demagoguf 8 . Unless protection were given to the labouring classes , their lordships could not expect their allegiance , and if they bad not their allegiance , they might apprehend disorganization and confusion . He would quote the words of one who was a real patriot , a Tory of true character , not one of tho ? e who called themselves Conservatives , a term now

      devoid of meaning , he meant Sir J . Beckett , who , in a speech he delivered at Leeds , said , that unless the industrious classes had sufficient employment for their labour , so as to be able to support themselves and families , " there can be no peace at home , there will be no peace at home , and there ought to be no peace at home" —( a laugh ) . The property of the poor was their labour , to a reward for which they were aB justly entitled as any of their lordships to their estates . If he had been actuated , as he never had been and never would be , by any factious motiveB , or any other motive than a conscientious and ardent desire to avert that revolution which seemed

      rapidly approaching this unhappy and ill-governed country , and if he were only anxious to collect the voices of those who agreed with him in opinion , and to catch somestray votes , he should move fora committee of inquiry ; but such a wide inquiry , embracing such a variety of topics , must of itself be most unstisfaotory He had deemed it his duty , though weakly and inefficiently , yet sincerely and conscientiously —( hear )—to bring this subject under the consideration of the House . Their Lordships would pursue their own course ; if they thought proper they might persist in the present course , which , in his opinion , could not

      fail to ruin and revolutionize the country : they would have no right to complain of the consequences that might ensue , whatever those consequences might be , if they should , as they probably would , end in anarchy and convulsion . Their Lordships , however , would bo answerable for these consequences to God and their country . He moved " that this Hou . se do resolve itself into a CommiUeo of the whole House , for the purpose of taking into its most serious consideration the present condition of the productive classes in the united kingdom , with the view of providing for their profitable employment and for the due remuneration of their industry . "

      Lord Rjpon vindicated their Lordships from any imputation of indifference to the sufferings of their fellow-subjects ; and after briefly demonstrating the impossibility of entering upon euch an investigation as that proposed through the cumbrous machinery of a committee of the whole House , denied that either Sir R Peel or himeelf bad since their present tenure of office expressed a single sentiment with reference to the restrictive system which they had not formerly avowed . Experience had proved that the removal of the prohibition on foreign

      manufactures had produced no ill effect ; and although the price of meat had fallen , it would be absurd to attribute that to the importation of 3 126 cattle—a large ' proportion of which were unfit for food . The Noble Lord , after shortly noticing the repeal of the new Corn Laws , the Tariff , and the discouragement of machinery , as recommended by Lord Stanhope , entreated their Lordships not to consent to any such inquiry as that suggested , as of necessity ending in the disappointment of those whose , distress was so much to be lamented .

      Lord Beadmont declared his intention of supporting Lord Stanhope's motioH , as one object of it was to amend thejeondition of the labourer , whose prospects now appeared almost desperate . Lord Brougham ridculed the tone taken by Lord Stanhope on the subject of free trade , as if it had been the principle on which all legislation of late years had been conducted , and regretted , on the contrary , that protection and prohibition were still so much in force . But little , it at any rate seamed , need be feared from the advance the new tariff had made in that direction upon cattle . With the disapprobation which had been expressed of the Aiti-Corn Law League and its proceedings , howtver , he most heartily concurred , and the more so becausp he considered the means it had adopted most prejudicial to a good cause . The violence and

      exaggeration of some of the statements it had put forth , and its attempts to excite discontent , had done much to retard the progress of its doctrines ; but above all he fen called on to express his disgust and abhorrence at some words used lately in the metropolis , and among an assembly of persons clothed with Bacred functions , which appeared to recommend assassination . He trusted that those persons would be called to answer for such expressions at a trial which was now pending , and to which he could not therefore further advert . The Noble Lord then , after commending the peaceful and forbearing conduct of the people under graat privations , professed his distrust of all the measures which had been suggested as a means of relief , and deprecated thd notion of commencing so bootless and endless an inquiry as that propOi ^ d .

      Lord Rad . nob , Lord Ashbukton , and Lord Clanbicahde also shortly addressed the House ; and after a few words trom Lord Stanhope in reply , their Lordships divided , negativing the motion by a majority of 25 to 4 .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS .-THtmsnAY , Feb . 9 . The Speakeb took the Chair at the usual hour . Mr . FniiKA . ^ D presented a petition from several persons working in coal mines in Scotland , assembled at a place in Lanarkshire . The petitioners stated that the amount of their labour was very unfairly wtigbed , and prayed that the weights mifth . t be taken at the bottom of the pits instead of at the mouth . The petitioners also stated that they were entirely at the mercy of their masters , and that hitherto their petitions to that House had always been met with inattention , although they were upon a subject cf much importance to the working miners of Scotland .

      Mr . T . Dukcombe presented six petitions against Lord Abinger , from Hull , Norwich , Barnsley in Yorkshire , Marylebone . Loughborough , and Newport , Isle of Wight . The petitions were all agreed to at public meetings . The petitioners stated that they deeply regretted and sympathised with the distressing state of the labouriug population as shown : particularly in the late outbreak in the Northern and Midland counties . The petitioners would readily admit that persona violating the law oOght to be punished , but they thought that that nuVishment ought to be in proportion to the wrone

      bly represented to the House were highly improper as proceeding from a judge on the bench—oharges which were of a political tendency , and calculated to prejudice , mislead , and excite the minds of the jury to whom such charges were addressed ; and the petitioners therefore humbly prayed the House to institute an inquiry into ihe proceedings before the late special commission , as in their wisdom the House might think fit ; and they further prayed that should suoh inquiry substantiate the allegations of the petition , that the House would address Her Majesty that she might be pleased to visit James Lord Abinger with . such a mark of Her Royal displeasure as would induce future Judges to support the dignity of justice by impartiality , and keep it unsullied by party spirit and rancour . —( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Walter gave notice that on Thursday week he should submit a resolution to the House on the subject of the New Poor Law . Sir V . Blake gave notice of his intention on an early day to call the attention of the House to the distress of the country and the operation of the sliding scale . Mr . Shabman Crawfobd gave notice that , on Thursday February 23 rd , he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to secure a full representation of the people , and to shorten the duration of Par liament . Mr . Ferband postponed until the 16 th of February hia motion for certain returns relative to the sale of paupers to a cotton-spinning firm ; and he also gave notice that he should move that a return of the number of idiots be also included .

      Mr . Feruand also gave notice of his intention to move aa an amendment to Mr . Villiers' motion for a total repeal of the Corn-laws , " that this House is of opinion , that a total Repeal of the Corn Laws , instead of diminishing the present depression of trade , and the dreadful sufferings of the working classes , would tend greatly tainorease the shock lately given to all those whose modes of thinking , feeling , and business have been regulated by living under a wise and benignant ConstituMon , which haB till lately recognized the rights of property , the protection of industry , and the just and equitable requital of labour ; under which great and extensive interests have grown up both in the apricultural , commercial , and manufacturing property of the country ; and

      that the preposterous conception of the present depression in trade being caused by the Corn Laws cannot have a place anywhere except possibly in the minds of a few among our own countrymen , hard pressed by the recent complications of commercial disaster , and predisposed accordingly to the most doleful imaginations , or of discarded Ministers , and greedy expectants of office . That a gambling principle ha 9 of late years entered into trade , which haa been exhibited by the failure to the amount of £ 800 , 000 of the Manchester Joint Stock Bank , known by the name of ' the Bank of Squander ; ' aided by tho wholesale * immigration' of labourers from the Southern counties into the manufacturing districts , through the agency and at the express request of

      some of the Lancabhire millowners , aa is shown in their correspondence with the Poor-law Commissioners , wherein they undertook to absorb the surplus population of the South ; and that this gambling system has widely extended the sharp and rapidly increasing sufferings of all classes in the manufacturing districts , enlarged by the breadth of the changes effected in our agricultural and commercial syetem under the new tariff . That the system lately introduced by many of the manufacturers in this country , of never recognising the principle that trade can only be healthy and prosperous when the supply keeps pace with the demand , has had a fatally paralysing influence upon all descriptions of trade , whilst the introduction of the power-loom and

      the combing machine have crippled to an astounding degree the industry of the manufacturing operatives , placed their labour at the mercy of their masters , and inflicted the most horrible sufferings on our high-hearted labouring population , by forcing that competition among them for employment , which is already keen and restless , altogether ruinous and destructive . That the sudden and splendid opulence lately acquired by many of the manufacturers of this country has been obtained by denying to labour its just requital , by grinding down the operatives to the dust for the purpose of' equalising wages , ' by the swindling truck system , and by destroying manual labour by the introduction of steam machinery , which has rendered reckless so many labourers that theretofore had never quailed under

      misfortune , nor ceased for a moment to place their trust , so far as regarded human means , in their own dauntless spirit , their skilful fingers , and their indefatigable arms . That the period , foretold by the late Sir Robert Peel , has at length arrived , when the indiscriminate and unlimited employment of the poor has been , and is attended with effects eo serious and alarming , that they cannot be contemplated without dismay : that the machinery of our manufactures has been brought to such perfection , that instead of being a blessing to the nation , it has been converted into the bitterest curse ; and that as Parliament is omnipotent to protect , so is it bound under the most sacred obligations to deliver the poor out of the hands of their oppressors . "

      Sir . R Inolis , without giving any opinion aa to the general merits of the proposed amendment , put it to the Hon . Member whether he would not withdraw one portion of it ? In his ( Sir R . Inglis ' s ) opinion it was not becoming that House to stigmatize any trading firm as a " bank of squander . " tie could not help thinking that it would be inexpedient to admit on their records any such declaration affecting the character of asy body of men . With any other of the topics he would not interfere . Mr . Ferband did not know whether he should be in order in offering any explanation , but the expression he had used was that applied to it by Mr , Gregg . ... 0

      Mr . Roebuck begged to ask , in reference ( the motion , whether it was in accordance with the rules of the House , under tho guise of giving notice of a motion , to print a political pamphlet 1—( hear ) . The Speaker was afraid that the notice of motion was not in accordance with the rules of the House . He thought that the Hon . Member , in reading tho notice , would have seen that it was not the sort of notice that should be given . The Hon . Member would act wisely iu withdrawing the notice , and reconsidering the terms in which it was couched . " Dr . Nicholl moved for leave to bring in & Bill to amend the administration of the law in the Ecclesiastical Courts , which , after a debate , was granted , and the Bill was brought in . 1

      On the motion of Mr . William ? , an account was ordered of pensions and other emoluments , exceeding ia all £ 1000 , Which had been enjoyed by any person during the past year . Mr . C . Wood , in the absence of Mr . Labouchere , who had given tho notice , moved for papers respecting duties on Wheat imported from the United Slates into Canada , or from Canada into the United Kingdom , Bince the first day of last year . Lord Stanley was willing to produce the papers , and the motion was consequently agreed to .

      Mr . Vernon Smith moved for the despatch from Lord EMenborough to the Court of Directors , containing the proclamation about the gates of Sommauth , and for any answer of the directors to that despatch . He disclaimed all personal and party views ; but he felt that the author of that proclamation was not fit to remain Governor of India ; that in such hands as his our mighty empire there was unsafe . He wiBhed to know the views of the Government and of the directors on this important subjeot . Air . Binoham Baring vindicated Lord

      Ellenborough for having brought back the gates , on the ground that a negotiation which had taken place between Schah Soojah and Runjeet Singh , when the latter was asked by the former for succour , had evinced that the possession of those gates was considered by the Hindoos as a glory , and the surrender of them as a disgrace . The Governor-General had had no intention to identify himself with the idolatry of the people , nor was his conduct regarded with displeasure by the Mahomedans , who rejuiced to see the tide of oonquest turned back upon their Affghan enemies . The proclamation-Bhowed

      no disposition to accredit these trophies as religious objects , or in any other view than as symbols of viotory . The plain , practical good sense of the English people would judge men by their acts , and would not forget the realized effects of Lord Ellenborough's policy . His object had been to inflict on the Afghans a punishment , which should be felt as severe and yet not be inhuman . No despatch had accompanied the proclamation , but if there were any passages in any of Lord Ellenborough ' s public letters which could throw light on the subject , those passages should be produced with the proclamation .

      Sir R . Inolis said , that Sir R . Peel , by not at once disclaiming the proclamation , had forced individual members to rise and express their displeasure at it . The defence made by the last speaker had been wholly unsuccessful . Sir R . Peel said , he had not thought himself called on to make the early declaration expected by Sir R . Inglis , because this was a motion only for papers , the mover stating that he intended to ground an ulterior motion on them when produced . It would have been fairer in the mover , instead ef prefacing the present motion with a speech upon the merit , to inquire whether the papers would be granted . Mr . Smith Bhould hare disirusted himself .

      by reason of the prejudice which , as & warm partisan , he must needs entertain against a Governor who had reversed the policy of she Whig prede ^ -eaeor . Whatever might be thought of the act done , M Ail events , in point of intention , Lord Ellenboreugfr was most remote from anything like connivance at idolatry . He drew a spirited parallel between the woak and miserable plight in which Lord EUenborough * t his landing in India , in February , 1842 , had found the resources of the country , and the triumphant st- ^ te iu which , by his energy and coinage , thoso resource * now existed in February , 1843 . He would not undortake to justify every passage of the proclamation ; but he would appeal to the justice of the

      Untitled Article

      House , whether this motion came appropriately from that party , by the reversal of whose policy Lord EUenborough had achieved his successes , and whether the fit reward for snoheservioes was a vote of condemnation from Parliament 1 After some observations from Mr . Mangles and Mr . Hume , j Lord John Russell remarked that Sir Robert Peel , though using guarded official , terms , had himself censured the proclamation , if he had not even Bent out a rebuke to Lord EUenborough .

      He would have willingly refrained from taking a share in j the debate , had Sir Robert Peel not attempted to carry off the proclamation by an attack on the late Government . Lord Ellenborough was not censured for an isolated aet . He had grossly insulted men of character and station in India ; he had , in one of his proclamations , made a foolish and puerile attack on hia predecessor ; he bad falsely represented the motives of the invasion of Afghanistan ; and he indulged in a ludicrous and self-contradictory absurdity when he talked about confining India " within its natural limits . "

      Mr . C . Bulleb thought the Government would find reason ] to regret that they had challenged inquiry into the general conduct of Lord EUenborough , instead of suffering him to be condemned upon a single issue . He desired to have some further papers , which Sir R . Peel agreed to produce . Mr . V . Smith said a few words in reply , and the debate concluded , the papers moved for being ordered , i The House then adjourned .

      LEEDS . —Deaths by Burning . —On Tuesday evening , two inquests were held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq ., to enquire concerning the deaths of two persons , which had resulted from burning . The first was on the body of Mary Ann Green wood , { who was taken to the Infirmary on the 11 th of January , having sustained very considerable injuries in various parts of her person by her clothes having caught fire . She was 19 years of age , and resided in Wortley Lane . She is a married woman , and on the day mentioned , was standing by the fire in her own house ; a poker had been left in the fire , which had become red hot , and this she took out

      stirred up the fire , and accidentally touched her dress with it ; and set it on fire . She ran out of the house with her clothes blazing , and was very much burnt before they conld be extinguished .. She died on Monday morning . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "—The second inquest was on the body of Joseph Farrar , aged five years , who resided with his parents at New Town , and on Saturday last , by some mischance or other , Bet his clothes on fire . It is rather singular that he also was playing with the poker at the time , and made it red hot , but whether he set his clothes on fire with it , or that they came in contact with the fire in the grate , oould not be shown . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . "

      The Town Council —This body held a quarterly meeting on j Wednesday last . They did very little beyond voting further sums of the people ' s money , under the guise of " Improvement . " A report of their proceedings would occupy more space than it would be ^ orth . Suicide . —| On Thursday , Mr . John Caton , shoemaker , Land s-lane , terminated his existence by drowning himself in the river Aire , near the Britannia Mill . He had been for some in a desponding state of mind . A Defaulter . — Ai the latter end of last week , a confidential clerk in the employ of Messrs . Payae , Eddison , and Ford , solicitors , absconded , leaving defalcations in his accounts to a considerable amount . His name is George Jenkins . He was apprehended ; near London on Thursday last ; and will be brought up at the Court House on Monday .

      West-RiOino Sessions . —By an advertisement in another column , it will be seen that these sessions are fixed to be held at Sheffield , on Thursday , the 22 ud , and at Wakefield , on Monday , the 27 th instant . Death op ; a Poacheb . —On Thursday morning last , about four o ' clock , a poacher , at Arthington , near Otley , i from over exertion in the attempt to escape , expired in a few minutes after his arrest . He is low in stature , about twenty years of age , and had on a fustian jacket and trousets and a light waistcoat . He was a resident of Leeds , but two of his companions , who are in custody , refuse to divulge his name .

      Effects op the Wind . —There was a perfect hurricane in this town on Saturday morning last , from which Borne damage to property has been sustained , and ; some providential deliverances from serious injury , or certain death , have occurred . The wind blew from the north , and though it had been strong during the night , it rased with the most fearful violence . perhaps , between the hours of seven and ten on Saturday morning . Several trees were blown down ! , in various parts of the suburbs , and slates and tiles innumerable strewed the streets and roads in all directions : while brick and stone walls , palliasading , Sco ., were lerelled , iu exposed situations , without distinction . We are happy to have to say that no loss of life has occurred , but providential escapes innumerable . A large sign in Parklane , belonging to Messrs . Edwin and Bircball and Son , was blown down ; it fell upon % female who was pa » siug , but instead of falling on her

      head , it caught her side , down which it glided , and though ; she was stunned , and very much frightened , we are glad to say she escaped without further material injury . The moBt important accident we have heard of , occurred about the same hour , at the residence of J . O . March , Esq ., No . 18 , Blenheim Terrace , where a stack of chimneys at the rear , was blown down , and t ! je falling bricks and stones , falling on the roof , forced their way into a room on the second story , occupied as a nursery , the floor of which was luckily sufficiently , strong to bear the weight which was thus suddenly thrown upon it . In , the room were two children , who happened to be in the only corner which was protected , and who consequently escaped almost unhurt , one of them onlyj sustaining a plight cut in the leg , from some of the falling materials . They were both , as may be imagined , greatly alarmed , but from this we are happy to say , they have now recovered , and are doing well . The weather has since moderated .

      CLAVTOW . —Storm . —On Saturday last , the neighbourhood of Clayton Heights was visited by a tremendous storm of wind , accompanied with snow . A good many windows were blown out , and several roofa were blown off . So fearful was the storm that the inmates left their houses for fear of their lives . Cheap Mbat . —On Saturday last Mr . Walter Bentley , butcher , Norton , reduced his mutton to 4 d . per Ib . The inhabitants of that place can now have good and wholesome meat at the above price .

      CLASS-MADE LAWS HAVE MADE THEIR VICTIMS : LET US ENDEAVOUR TO RELEASE THEM . Fellow Working Men , — ¦ WHEN I sent the Advertisement to be Published , which has appeared for the last few weeks , and which states that I am willing to give four shillings to the Executive and one shilling to the Victim Fund out of every one hundred pounds weight of beverage , I say , my friends , at that time it Btmok me very forcibly that the Victim Fund stood much need of augmenting , and I think so still . as you may see by their letter ; and I also think , if I

      may judge from appearance , that the country evinces but little disposition to support the cause of Chartism through ; the Executive , inasmuch as neither myself nor Messrs . Crow and Tyrrel have had much to add to their funds for some weeks past . I therefore propose that the whole of the five shillings per hundred pounds be given to the Yictimi' Defence Fund , and it shall appear as before in Mr . Cleave ' s Subscription List weekly , until the assizes are over , when we can make fresh arrangements as the times may require .

      Now , my friends , it remains with the people , whether those men who have been made victims for no other ( crime than that of demanding justice at the hands of our oppressors be left to the clemenoy of a mereiless judge and a time-serving jury , or whether they ! shall have funds sufficiently supplied which will secure to them justice ; and we must remember that there is only a few weeks to raise the money in , aad we should also remember that we that are at liberty are only so because the law has not got hold of us , but that we perhaps may have said and dor e more towards the downfall of tyrants than those whom it is om * duty to support . 1
