PUBLIC jrEETINe AT HUD © ERSFISID . On Monday evening , pursuant to public notice , a public meeting was held in the Guildhall , HnddersfiVld , to tske into conBider » tion the propriety of petitioning Parliament in favour of the Ten Hours ' Bffl . The meeting was announced to commence at half-past seven , and , as all meetings should do , began at the time appointed . The Guildhall wis crowded . Dn the motion of Wm . Stocks , Esq ., seconded by Mr . Glendenning , the Rev . Josiah Bateman , the vicar , took the chair .
The Chairman observed that he was much obliged to them for the honour they had conferred on him in calling upon him to preside ; for he conceived it to be an hoc our to preside at a meeting , the great object of which was a work of benevolence and mercy . Perhaps some might think that this was a subject in which they ( the working classes ) only were interested ; but he could assure them that the whole of the clergy were as deeply interested as any there present could possibly be . The subject on which they were met was one which admitted differences of opinion—of which all were tender—bnt it did not admit of ill-will . ( Hear , hear . ) He had been greatly interested by the
manner in which this business had been got up . No one could read the graphic account of the gentlemen who had been sent to London to obtain interviews with the Members of the Cabinet , without being struck , as he was , at the way in which they had been received , and the high moral arguments advanced , asd the great ability displayed on the occasion . The Ministers listenea with great attentien to the arguments of the deputation , and this showed that the moderate way in which they had proceeded had produced a great impression , so great that they might augur the best possible success for
the object they had in view . They were now pursuing such a conrse nnder the guidance of their noble leader , Lord Ashley , a man unspotted in hi 3 political character , and unstained in his private life , and under his guidance he sincerely trusted their efforts would be crowned with success . ( Cheers . ) He might state that he understood several more of the clergy would have been present , but previous engagements had prevented their attendance , and he would call on the secretary to read the letters . One letter addressed to him ( the Chairman ) was from an old friend , which , however , contained some strong language .
Mr . John Leach then read the following letter from Mr . Oastler : — The Fleet , Jannary 15 th , 1842 . To ihe Chairman of the Meeting which is to be holdenon Monday nejri , in ihe Guildhall , Huddersfield , for the purpose of supporting the Ten Hours' Factory Bill . Dsab Sib , —How many thoughts rushed across my mind when I this morning saw the announcement of your intended meeting , in the Leeds Intelligencer . I resolved to write , althongh I could not join you ; my heart was rejoiced , my spirits were elevated , when I found that you had not , amidst the ttrife of parties and the moans of destitution , lost sight of the object which for so many years we had unitedly , though hitherto unsuccessfully pleaded .
It is not needful that I should at this time prove the utility , reasonableness , and necessity of the measnre . That time ' s past . We have so often met the objections of our foes , and refuted their sophisms , that nothing now remains to be answered . . Hundreds of tLose who formerly jeered and scoffed at us are now feeling the curse of the " long hours '" system , and are obliged to be silent if they are not bold enough to recant . All now see that without time being given , improvements in society cannot be effected . Still there are a few who fatten on the ruin of millions , and these few are very powerful . It is needful then that you should renew your efforts to
release from the grasp of selfishness and tyranny the most industrious and oppressed children in the world . It is my duty to tell yon what I know . Situated as I am I have better means of information than yourselves . We have friends in the Cabinet , but tee have stronger enemies . Do I tell you this to dishearten you ! Not I . It is to animate and encourage you to more strennons exertions . Our case was never so hopefuL The Belfish , heartless , and cruel philosophers are now urging upon the Government to turn % deaf ear to the criee of the oppressed slavei in the factories , and to grant the oppressors more power to torment under the specious name of " tree trade . " It is then year duty 10 strength en the han ds of our friends in the Cabinet ,-by proving to the
Government that after twelve years' contest you are unshaken , nnsubdued ; » nd are more than ever resolved never to rest until you have arrived at the geal from which yon started . Never were we so bound to stand firm aa now . Oar noble leader , Lord Ashley , has shown an example worthy of our eaute . Rally round his Lordship , and preve to him that yon are worthy » f your caase and your leader . Ah , my niend ! I cannot be with you in person , — but my spirit will be there , in that very place from vrbich a few yean ago I bade yon farewell I May be I » hall see you no mote—my life is in His hands , who even in prison has protected me from harm , and enabled me to forgive and to pray for my persecutor .

Commend me to my friends—my old—my tried —my much-loved friends . And give me , as you have often done , throe cheers for my poor Factory Children I God bless you , Farewell , Richard Oastlkk . A letter was also read from the Rev . Wyndham Madden containing an apology for not being present , occasioned by a previous engagement . Mr . Bowkbb next addressed the meeting , and proposed , . w That the experience of every year is more and mor « convincing of the absolute necessity of reducing the hours of labour in the factories of this country to ten hours per day . " Mr . Shaw , a master manufacturer , seconded the resolution .
The resolution was carried . Wh . Stocks , Esq ., next came forward , and was received with distinguishing marksxrf public favour . He said his mind was thrown hack on former times when they could not unite with the pleasure they did on this occasion . They had been agitating the question of a Ten Hours' Bill for upwards of twelve years . Many circumstances since then had transpired . They had seen many changes ia the minds of the people—of masters as well as operatives . Many new features had presented themselves since the agitation of this question . One of them was the experience of twelve years in the workings of the present system of commerce , particularly that of the immense increase of machinery and commerce .
Our manufactures had increased in a ratio never before known , or probably never experienced by any nation in the world , ancient or modern . He had not found in all his researches that any nation had the extent of commerce which Great Britain had enjoyed . In the common acceptation of the term , " abundance of trade , " they supposed that it made the people comfortable and iiappy . If the increase of trade—of commerce—of manufactures did not give higher enjoyments to the people , there must be something radically wrong in the principles acted upon . ( Hear . ) The experience of the last twelve years had found them in a much worso condition , commercially , and the labourer also in a worse positiion than when the agitation commenced . ' We find" ( 3 aid Mr . S . ) " that the more business we do *
the less enjoyment we have . " They could remember the period when the labouring classes had their comfortable homes—they could look back to the period when the labouring man could approach his cottage , with his wife and family meeting him on ifee tnreshold , he going in with his treasure , the wife taking the backet of provisions , ushering him into comfortable rooms and a happy fireside , with plenty to eat and drink , and joy and gladness in the whole family . But what wa , s the oase now V It was perfectly horrible to enter the houses of many of the labouring classes . They now saw nothing of the comforts of former times—nothing of the delights of parents and children . They wished to restore that comfortable and happy state . That was
their . object . If it had been for want of trade the question would have been different ; but the increase of trade was immense . He would give them a statement relative to the cotton trade . In 1798 the consumption of cotton was 31 , 136 , 516 lbs;—in 1839 , it was 460 , 756 , 013 lbs . Now this great increase had produced misery and a continual reduction of wages . During the last twelve years , wages had gone down , until at last working was too severe . Under these circumstances it was necessary that they exerted themselves to restore the- comforts of the labouring classes . What was the income of a nation , and from whence did it arise ! Ik did not arise from the landowner , or the merchant , or the manufacturer , or from the interchange of nations .
but solely from labour itself . That was the whole source of a nation's income ; and there was no other way of a profitable distribution of capital but in the wages of labour . When the labourer got his wages he distributed them among his neighbours . If they gave a , m * n twenty shillings per week , he distributed twenty . shillings ; but if by some circumstance you reduce it to ten shillings , he only distributed so much . What did he distribute that ten shillings iu f It would only purchase food . But if he had other ten shillings , it would purchase raiment , and ho would thus become a consumer of home manufactured articles as well as food . If they reduced his wages so that he could only purchase food , they destroyed their home consumer , and then they were
obliged to seek foreign markets and beg of them to take our goods , thus leaving the best customer at home and preventing him from being a consumer at all . There was another new feature or two , and one was , that the clergy of Huddersfield and its neighbourhood , and many of the dissenting ministers had that day signed the petition for a Ten Hour 3 ' Bill . This was a new feature . Nearly the whole of them had signed , which gave them great encouragtment , and , as had been said by their chairman , there was now a very great chance of their getting the Ten Hours' Bill ; Another circumstance
had also happened , during the last twelve years , which was , the passing of the New Poor Law . There was a circumstance connected with that law which probably many were not aware of . When that act came into operation , a number of gentlemen in Manchester , occupying large factories , contracted with the guardians , overseJrs , and various other officers , to get as many hands as possible from families in the agricultural districts to come into the manufacturing parts , to be employed in factories . The way was by the migration agent in Lancashire receiving from the guardians and the assistant-commissioners lists of families from the head to the
smallest child . This list was transmuted to Lancashire , and the agent came to Yorkshire , after supplying Lancashire , to find out factory masters who would take these families . In the south of England an advertisement was circulated , holding forth the wonderful advantages of migrating into Yorkshire and Lancashire— thac they would live on the best of food—that corn was very cheap—that beef and mutton was only threepence or fourpeiice per pound —as many coals for sixpence as would serve for several months—that they mi ^ ht have clothes almost for merely asking , and comfortable cottages at a low rent . These aavantages wero held out , and many came reluctantly . After the consent of the head of the family bad been obtained , the overseer
and Guardians had power to make out a list of parties , and agree with them as employers of these- persons for a term of three years . Same were therefore gold np , and shipped to Huddersfield and Manchester , to serve for three years at stated prices , agreed to between the Guardians and the masters . This undoubtedly appeared monstrous ; but he happened to have in his possession undoubted proof of it . ( Mr . Stoqfcfl then pulled out of his pocket some original documents . ) " Here , " said he , "is something in the shape of what we commercial men call invoices , for it ia something like buying and selling . " It was an agreement made for two families to serve in the employment of Mr . George Stansfield Wells , of Soy land , Yorkbhire , for three years . The firat
"item" was Edward Markwell , aged 38 , for the first year eight shillings , secosd year ten shilling !* , third year ten shillings ; Mary , first year three shillings , second three shillings and sixpence , third three shillings and sixpence ; Jane , first year two shillings , Becond three shillings , third three shillings ; George , first year five shillings , second five shillings and sixpence , third five shillings and sixpence ; Caroline , first year three shillings , 6 econd three shillings and sixpence , third three shillings and sixpence ; Robert , firat year four Bhillings , second four shillings and sixpence ; third four shillings and sixpence ; William , first year three shillings , second three shillings and sixpence , third three shillings and sixpence . It thpn stated that there was " no objection
to advance £ 2 en loan ; to send the family by canal £ 2 from London to Huddcrsfield . " When this family got to the wharf at Huddersfield Mr . Wells was not there , and they kad to stop in the warehouse aud sleep on Btraw all night . So muoh for free traders and Corn Law repealers . These very gentlemen who were the me&tig ot causing these poor people to be sent to this part of the country , were now combining to send them back again in order to compel the landlords to agree to a repeal of the Corn La we . These people were to be thrown baek on the towns and parishes from whence they came . The consequence of these poor people coming here wasareduction of wages . In 1834 5-6 , this system caused the old hands to fail off andnewhanda to bo taken on at less wages . ( Hear , and cries of"Bh \ me . " ) This was no speculative theory—he had visited the houses of these poople himself , ( koud cries of " hear . ") He took the statenientdfrom their own mouths of the
circumstances of their leaving home and the treatment they had received on coming here . The accounts were too long to read and would take too much time ; but it was truly appalling to see the miserable eonditiom they were in . In one family there was a stream of water running across the house all the time he was in . Deborah Barber , whose house he visited , had nothing in thehou ^ e but some cups and saucers , and Borne stools which were lent her . The beds she brought they were obliged to lay upon the § oor , and the next morning the water literally ( to use their own expressions ) " siped" off them . This was the deception practised on these poor creatures . It iru high time to put a stop to the system , and he hoped they would , ere long , gain the Ten Hours' Bill . He therefore begged to move the adoption of a petition praying that » BULjnay pass into a law fixing the hours of labour in the factories at ten hours per day .
The Rev . Mr . Olmield seconded , and the Rev . Mr . Oldham supported the motion . Mr . GLBHDEffNixe proposed in a speech of considerable length the following resolution J"That the petition be Bent to Lord Ashleyf » r presentation in the House of Commomi , and that for th » Honse of Lords to his Grace the Duke of Buckingham , to request their support to the sa » e and also of the membew of the West Riding of this eounty . "
Mr . Thomas Haw * tabd jaeonded the motion . Mr . J « hn Leech then moved , "That this meeting do pass a vote of thanks to th » se portions of the publio preai that h&v * adr » -

CHOSXJB 7 . —The knell of reduction is again tolling in our district , it is only nine weeks ago since there was a general reduction of the spinners through the ; town , and now Mr . Robert Wallworth , has again given his spinners notice for a further reduction which will be followed by all the masters in the town . At Messrs Lightbllera and Co ., they are double-decking , as it is called ; that is making one spinner spin on two pair of wheels , bo that now a spinner must spin on 1840 spindles per day . The system is throwing hundreds out of employment every
year . There is Cpbden , M . P ., the great Corn Law ¦ Piaaue" man who has print works in the town , has seven printing maphines , and is starting another ; yet , at the same time , the block printers , some or them , have not had a job for the last seyen Weeks . Such is the distreBspftne town that 700 persons arid up wards have received the dole given by Govern ^ ment , and the inhabitants have refused to hav « the lamps lighted in the streets to save the expense of gas rates . Such is the distress ; in the town that hundreds ( to use a phrase among themy care not whether they live or die . —Correspondent .
8 TOCKPOST . —Distressed Stat ^ of Stockpoht . —The suffering amongst the middle arid particularly the lower class in this place , still continues for want of employ ment ; and hundreds are migrating or emigrating to other towns or distant Jconatries , in search of that " contentment and prosperity " which is not to be found in happy England , although the aristocracy toast her , " as the pride and envy of surrounding nations 1 " Some idea may be formed of the existing distress , when we state that at the present moment , one-third : of the horse power usually at work in this town and neighbourhood ia now ceased : whilst there are above 5 , 000 jpersons out of employment . Of 15 , 823 individuals inhabiting 2 , 965 houses , 1 , 204 only are fully employed , 2 , 866 are partially so , and- . 4 ,-148 , able to work , are for an absolute fact , knoWn to bo unemployed . The
remaining 7 , 604 , are unable to labour . The average weekly income of the above 15 , 123 persons was Is . , 4 Jd . each ; the average weekly earnings of those fully employed was only 7 s . 64 d . ; and those partially at work 4 s . 7 | d . 1 A public subscription has been raised , and although the sum gathered may bo considered handsome , yet in three weeks or , at the farthest , one month , the whole of the funds will be absorbed , upwards of 12 , 500 receiving weekly relief from it , small though the allowance may be , vJz ., not exceeding 3 i . per family . The middle class are also suffering m secret , there being at the present moment 1 , 820 houses and shops to be let . The poor rates have trebled , and the . overseers of the poor actually applied this week to the magistrates for summonses against 3 , 000 persons for non-payment , of their rates . Moreover , a rate of 3 d . in the pound is expected to be laid before the end of next month 1

POIiMONT , ( by Falkirk . ) —Snow Storm . —On Thursday , the 13 ch inst ., snow began falling here , which continued without intermission till Friday morning . Since then We have had frost and snow alternately . Tho ground is now covered to the depth of fourteen or fifteen inches . In some instances the coaches have been detained behind their time ; bus the wotst effect has been the complete cessation of all out-door employment . This , with the present high price of provisions is making many families feel the wants of poverty in a great degree . Many families in the yvllage who had a " bod to spare" have been benefitted by keeping the labourers employed on the Glasgow and Edinburgh Railway . That undertaking is now about complete , and the navigators are betaking them to their own homes , or to other parts of the country—some of them taking leave of their landlords without remembering to pay efftbeir scores .
BAHNSLEY . —The Commissioners of Assessed Taxes held . their adjourned ineeting , in ; the Courthouse , on the 17 th and 18 th instant , to hear the appeal of the hand-loom we&vera against laying the window tax .

Messrs , Hopkinsons Grand Coecert . —On Monday evening last , Messrs . Hopkinsonand Mr .

The programme contained a variety of excellence in almost every style of music , including selections from Beethoven , Mozart , Rossini , Weber , Kalkbrenner , and Bellini , The orchestra was ably led by Mr . Thirlwall ,. and the vocal department was supported by Mr- and Mrs . Wood , who fuHy sustained all their previous excellence ; Mrs . Wood , in particular , was rapturously encored in two pretty ballads , " The
Mermaid's Cave , " and ' * We met . '' The former we never heard excelled . Mr . Thirlwall , on the violin , Mr . Hopkinson on the Patent Vietoria Repetition Giand Piana Forte , Mr . Haddock on the VioVoncello , and Mr . Sprako on the Clarionet , acquitted themselves admirably . If there is any fault to be found it is with the extreme length of the concerted pieces ; for instance , a grand ttio on the viblih ,: violoncello , and piano-forte , occupied forty minutes , and other pieces were similarly span out , so that the concert was not over till after midnight . We recommend that this should be avoided ; eleven , o ' clock ia quite late enough for a concert .
