In the month of AprU ~ last , tberewaB a strong contest between the rich and poor frtenien , in the election of Deputies to manage the . affiairs of the freemen for the next year . At the close of the contest there were a large majority in favour of the poor , who determined on breaking up the land , and dividing it ont into lots of 300 yards to each
freeman and freeman ' s widow for gardens . The Cowkeepers , on learning the determination of the Deputies , at onoo moved for an Injunction in theConrtof Ghaneery to restrain the Deputies . An Injnnction ' was granted to stay the breaking up of the land 5 but the Yiee Chancellor decided that the Deputies could mow the grass , and sell it , and distribute lhe proceeds amongst the freemen and freemen ' 3 widows . He also ordered the . Cowkeepers to pay the cost of the injunction . la consequence of this victory over the monopolizers , tke poor paraded the streets of Leicester on Monday last , with a brass band and numbers of banners bearing various devices . One was very conspicuous , having
a representation of a horse and a cow with their ribs protrnding through their skins and looking very wistful at each other ; the cow saying to fhe horse , " I wish we were on the iFreeman's Common again . " To which the horse was made to reply , "So do I . " The freemen walked in procession , with wands , &e , and they were followed by three carriage load of freemen's widows . Before the above demonstration was brought to a dose , another of a different character made its appearance in the streets . Several hundred men were seen ! in procession , headed by a large placard , having upon it , " More aggressions of the glove manufactures to crush the working men . " This
was followed by a black banner , having painted on it a white slave , with his clothes all tattered and torn into rags ^ and he apparently in a dying state . It was inscribed with the words , ** The white slave , or dying operative . " "Onr rights , and nothing less . 7 ' The procession proceeded through the streets in an orderly manner to the different glove manufactories , soliciting their owners to give the same rate 4 > f wages as agreed to in the month of May la s * * which was a reduction of nine per cent , on the wages of last yea * , Messrs . Bailey , Cook , Warner , Mills , Howe , Thorpe , Richards , Preston , and Brampton , all agreed to give the price : hut on soliciting the Messrs . Biggs , Mr . William , the Dresent Mayor ;—the concoctor of the ? Midland Counties Charter f the great "Reformer of
the House of Lords f the mighty agitator for a Repeal of the Corn Laws ; the supposed philanthropist the £ reafc teacher of equality ; the man who , in 1832 , harangued the people on the Reform Bill , and told them to prepare themselves to march to Birmingham ; yes , this man told the deputation " he should hold no conference with them ; and if they broke the peace , by committing acts of vagrancy , or any thing else , he should punish them to lhe utmost rigour of the law ! " The deputation wanted to reason with him . He haughtily returned
for answer , " yon have heard what I have said ; you know what I mean ; you can go" On this , the hand played before his warehouse , and in his very teeth , thel > ead March . TTie reduction HE offers i& about 25 per cent less than the hands reeeived'Jast year ! Before the works of Messrs . Chamberlain and 2 ? ewton , who were quite as obstinate as the Biggs's , ( all Corn Law Repealers to procure " high wages for the workmen , ") the band played the " Rogne's March . 71 After this each one dispersed to his home .

A row was the consequence , and they wereiurned into the street ; there the defendant got a gun-barrel from his son , and belaboured complainant about the head with it so much that he fell to the ground , to all appearance bereft of life . He and his son then decamped . The magistrates in . fLcted a fine of £ 5 . including costs .

Railway Collision ik the Summit Tunnel . — A frighifBl accident occurred on Wednesday at noon in the centre of the Summit Tunncll ; the may train runnis ^ into a luggage train . The mail train leaves Manchester at ten minutes before eleven oclock , am , and travels at 4 great speed . No intimation had been given to the driver on entering the ] tunnel that a luggage train was only just in advance , and the steam prevented him from * seeing
the . light at the end of the train . The consequence was that wbea about half way through the tunnel , it overtook , and dashed into the luggage train , smashing two or three carriages , but , providentially . not hurtingan individual . Considerable delay occurred in the transit of the trains , the wreck of the broken carriages having to be removed from the line of rails on which the accident happened . ! While this was being done the subsequent trains passed through on the south line . A stringent inquiry into the origin of this disaster ought to be made , ' and the publio mind fully relieved from all apprehension of future accident in suoh a spofc A coUislon on the railway is bad enough anywhere ; but really frightful when at occurs in the bowels of the ( earth . Great blame attaches , either to the Company in not having a watchman at the mouth of the tunnel or to the watchman , if one is stationed there .

O'Connell , who for unworthy and injurious purposes has unjustly maligned the Chartists , the Somers Town Chartists advise all Chartists to be consistent in their advocacy of true democracy ; and whilst in their individual capacity , they exercise their own judgment in
advocating a Repeal of the union or no , to stick to the National Charter A ss ociation , in preference to another in which their principles are not acted upon , its ' numbers being under ihe blind dominion of a leader whose political dishonesty is sot doubted by any man who thinks for himself , more especially by us whose character and objects he has assidiously and vilely traduced , ascribing to us intentions and a line of action which we utterly repudiate , as being destructive to the ends of an enlightened and universal liberty . " ;

" REBECCA" IN WALES . ATTACK ON CARMARTHEN WORKHOUSE . EMPLOYMENT OF THE MILITARY . CAPTURE OF ONE HUNDRED PRISONERS . On Monday last a force of forty or fifty men , consisting of police and old -pensioners , were sent to execute distress warrants against certain parties at Tallog for penalties imposed upon them for refusing to pay toll at Water-street-gate in tbis town , when they were successfully resisted by five hundred persons , of whom one hundred and five were armed with guns . This Iwas represented to the Home Secretary , and a military force solicited by the borough and county magistrates , as it was impossible for the civil power co execute any legal process . After
the lapse of some days it was intimated that cavalry would be sent here j but it was not known where they were to come from , nor when they would arrive . In the mezmtime ,. on Thursday and Friday nights , the mob destroyed all the gates between this place and the Tivy side , and I believe all along the banks of that river ; and it was known that an immense assemblage would enter this town to-day , it was reported , only to demonstrate their strength . It was to consist of farmers on horseback , and others 00 foot ; and ramoor magnified it to 10 , 000 or 12 , 000 men . These were for the ; most part operated upon by their fears ; for notices , some verbal , some in writ ing , were given that there would be a , meeting , and it would be best for them to attend , or
elserr—Thi 8 was understood to Ibe that they wonld be punished by having their " places set on fire .

twelve o ' clock , having oom « the last fifteen miles in an hour anda half . Two horses died from sheer fatigue . About an hour before ! the military arrived , the demonstration was made . It consisted of j about 500 horsemen , and from 2 , 000 to 3 , 000 on foot . They entered the town [ at Wafcer-afcreet-gafce , and went round Pioton ' s Monument , over the quay , and by thehall , where the magistrates wereassembled , but committed no outrage by the way . They then passed on to the workhouse , into which an entrance was forced , and the work of destruction commenced . A few minutes after the procession passed the bridge ,
a troop of the 4 th Dragoons entered the town . What was doing at the ! workhouse was communicated to the magistrates ; and one of tbem . M , C . Morris , Esq ., heading the military , rode off briskly to the workhouse ; and so unexpectedly did they come upon the mob who were within its large enclosure , that about 100 persons were captured by them . Bufc numbers escaped over the wall , many leaving their horses behind . Some persons have been injured in various ] ways , but none seriously . There cannot be a doubt that if the cavaliry had not arrived at the critical moment they did , the whole place would have been in a blaze .
Of those captured , tho women were liberated . Some of the men , and many ] highly respectable farmers and freeholders ^—forced j as they say , to jomf- ^ were allowed to depart on their own recognizances ; others found bail for their appearance , and about fifteen or twenty are oemmitted for re-examination . "' ; These outrages , commenced with the toll-gates , it is now avowed are only the beginning , for the next object will be the workhouses ; Then tithes are to be abolished ; and afterwards the landlords are to be
brought to account , atid none permitted to receive more rent for hia land than four farmers shall say is a fair price for it . This is something like the Irish "fixity of tenure . " ! Things are now quiet , but how long they will remain so is a problem , which a few days , or perhaps a few hours , will solve . The rioters have not yet returned to their homes . A brother-in-law of a Member of Parliament , it is said , is among those in custody , and against'Whom informations on oath have been taken . ¦ :
It is said that the rioters are acting under the guidance and advice of a disappointed provincial barrister , and an opinion is generally entertained that the 'disturbances in their present form are in some measure connected with those which j agitate the kingdom elsewhere with a view of harassing the Government .

HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Junb 20 . At the hour usually devoted to private business , Mr . J . Wortley moved [ the second reading of the bill entitled " An Act to declare the illegitimacy of certain persons alleged or claiming to be children of the Most Hon . George iFerrars , Marquis of iTownshend . " The bin had beeu sent down to them from the House of Lords , where it had undergone the fullest investigation , and was intended to secure to the parties promoting it the honours and privileges of the peerage to which they claimed to be entitled . i
Mr . C . BtfLLEB moved , that the bill bo read a second time that d&Yfsix months . He threw overboard all the facts mentioned by his noble and learned friend opposite ' and proved before the House of Lords ; and argued the impropriety of passing such a measure upon-general principles . He admitted that those facts involved a monstrous hardship ob the Townshend family . Ho sympathised with the feelings of Eord C . Townshend , who saw his succession to the hereditary honours of bis family endangered ; but he sympathised also with the unfortunate Marchioness of Townshend , who had been bound by law to a man whom she could not but loathe , and from whom that very law prevented her from obtaining a ' release . He was therefore not
surprised that she , who had acted the part of a faithful and affectionate consort to Mr . Margett ' s , should at last determine that " ( the law , which had made her children illegitimate , should also make them legitimate , and that the law which made the Marquis of Townshend her husband should also make him the father of those children . " Admitting , however , the monstrous hardship which such a determination nrght inflict upon the iTownshend family , he objected to the present measure , as being a partial remedy for it . Why should it be introduced for the benefit of the peerage alone ? Why not introduce a general law , affecting not only peerages , bat also the estates of private individuals ? The House divided , when there appeared , —
For the second reading 153 Against it J 49 Majority ... ... 104 The bill was then read a second time , and ordered to be committed to a committee of selection . Mr . Pakinoxon gave notice , on the part of Lord Ashley , that on the 4 th of July , he would move for leave to bring in a bill for the improvement of the condition of the industrious classes by the establishment of the allotment system and of a general loan society . . A " talk" then ensued on the • • Danish Claims " brought forward by Mr . Hawes , who wished to get some £ 220 , 000 for '' compensation 'to "our merchants" for losses incurred by them during the war with Denmark . He was resisted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer , who told him that he had no suoh Bum to spare .
SEPTENNIAL ACT . Mr . Sharhan Crawford then rose to move for leave to bring in a bill to repeal the act of the 18 th year of Geo . L , statute 11 , 0 . 38 , for extending the duration of Parliament to seven years . ; The Hon . Gentleman recapitulated the various acts which had been passed to regulate the duration of Parliament , and expressed his opinion that , so long as Parliaments existed for seven years , there could be no security for pnblic liberty arid the rights of the people . A » to the duration to which he should propose to return ,
he was willing to accept the period fixed 1 by 6 Win . and Mary , c . 11—namely , three years , though in his own opinion a much ( shorter period would be fairer towards the public . If he Members of that House had been more subjected to popular opinion , by a shorter tenure of their sea's , a great part of that unjust and mischievous legislation which ; had so oppressed and injured ihe people would never have been ventured upon . ; Dr . Bowring seconded the motion .
Sir James Graham considered it decidedly beneficial to the public that a somewhat extended duration should be given to Parliaments . The whole experience of years past proved that the average duration of Parliament ? was not more than four years , a period which , in his opinion , answered every purpose of making members responsible to the public , while itigave them time to acquire that practical experience which was so essential to sound legislation . ; The House then divided , — For the motion ... ... ... 23 Against it ... ... ... ... 46 Majority against the motion —23 Lord Clements renewed his motion for the production of the correspondence connected with the disbanding of the yeomanry corps in Ireland , to which ;
Lord Eliot gave the same reply as on a former occasion , namely , £ hat he was willing to furnish copies of all orders for the disbanding of the yeomanry , with some selections , omitting from the correspondence whatever was of a personal or superfluous nature . : Lord Clements accepted the offer , and tbe returns were ordered . The report of the Princess August& ' a Annuity Bill wag brought up , and the other orders being disposed of , the House adjourned .
Wednesday , June 21 . Tho Princess Augusta ' s Annuity Bill was read a third time , aad passed .
WASTE LANDS BILL . Mr . Ferrand said , as the select committee on the aUotmont of waste' lands had not yet macio their report , he proposed ; to postpone the sicoiid reading of the Waste Lands Allotment Biil till it should be ready . —Order discharged , and fixed for Wednesday next . ¦ After the second readiog of the Scientific Societies ' Bill had been moved and agreed to , and seme" talk " had been had on the Coroners' Bill , Lord Wohslev ' s Commons lnclosura Bill was proposed for second , reading , which wa , s mot by Colonel SiBTHOKP with an ameucmeuc , that it be read that day mx months . Mr . Stuart Wortley recommended the postponement of the bill , on the ground of its importance and complicity .
Lord Worsley felt strongly the importance of carrying forward the bill during the present session . There were nearly two million acres of waste land in the country , which could be reclaimed at an expeneeof £ 12 an aore , by which great employment would be afforded to the labouring population . There was a strong disposition to carry out inclusures , but parties were deterred by the great expence of separate inclosure actsi He proposed to carry out bis measure by the aid of the tithe commissioners ; who , on the application of two-thirds of those hit' rested in an inclo ? ure , should send assistant commissioners to
examine and report . Tbe commissioners to report the progress of alt inciosures twice a year to the Home-office ; and the Hou-o of Commons to have a veto on any inciosure , should one-fourth ot those interested object io it . He had endeavoured to ascertain th 9 probable uxpe nee of the working of ' his measure ; and was satisfied that unopposed inciosures , the expence' of which under the present system , amounts to » ri > m £ 400 to £ 600 , would not by the pre&ent bill exceed £ 40 . Considering the capital which woulu be invested in reclaiming land , aaii the employtncL' w . iich wouid be afforded , hiwas satisfied ibat , tne biii , if pushed , Woulu uruvo

an important boon to the interests of agriculture and the country . f Mr . Feheand was sorry be could nos agree in the measure as it stood . He found in it not one single provision that recognised distinctly thejrights of the poor cottager . If it becamo law , the poor man never would have a chance of becoming master of a piece of waste land ; and he thought the bill at any rate could not by any possibility be carried out in the manufacturing districts . But though he could not agree to the Bill as it stood , to ) some plan of some such nature they must come , if they would avoid revolution , ( Hear , hear . ) Machinery was increasing to such an extant that not only would the masses uow out of employment remain ] so , but those masses would be greatly increased before long . The
new wool-combing machinery would [ alone throw 100 , 000 persons out of employ merit . What must bo the result of such a state of things ? It wis in evidence before the Select Committee on the Allotment System , and the evidence was that of a member of the Hoube , that in one district , near where he ( Mr . Ferrand ) reside 1 , the poors' rate was 9 s . 6 I . in the pound ; in other places they were paying a 7 s . rate . The farmers could not long support that state of t hi ugs . He was convinced that by next rent-day one farmer in every five would be-paying 5-. in the pound . It was known that in 1830 and 1837 a vast number of poor labourers had been removed from tho agricultural to the manufacturing districts . He had moved for a return respecting the numbers of thesa poor
persons so removed , What was the ] result ? Al * though Mr . Muggridge admitted that as many as 10 , 000 were removed , the return only ] accounted for 4 , 928 . Was tbe House aware of the state of the wool-combing trade at present \ In Yorkshire and Lancashire thousands of wool-combers got only two days' work in a week . There were many instances where poor men with families had gone with tears in { their eyes to the masters , and asked for two or three stone of wool to comb , in order ] to keep them from starvation ; and the answer was , " We are in no want of workmen , but we can give you some work at ljtfd . a stone . " If the House could not pass some such measure as this what were they there for ! They were soon to separate ; add , he asked ,
had the House during the session passed one single measure , or done anything to alleviate the existing distress \ There might be a slight stimulus in trade just at present ; but he was thoroughly convinced that , before long , trade would fall baok to what it was at Christmas . The Right . Hon . Baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) , when he ( Mr . Ferrand ) had asked for leave to bring in a bill for the enclosure of cultivable Waste land , had said that all { the waste laud that was wor ; h cultivation had been enclosed ; would he say so still ? He ( Mr . Ferrand ) was told by a gentleman well acquainted with tbe district in Lancashire of which he spoke , that there were 209 , 000 acres of waste land cuUfvatable there . ) The House , in his opinion , was answerable to provide the means of
subsistence for the people ; and if they were not able to provide those means he had no hesitation in saying their functions were at an end . He ( Mr . Furrand ) wanted to know what good thejwaste land did at present . It was true , that some gentlemen might find on it the means of a day ' s grouse-shooting ; bin he would put it to tho gentlemen of England , whether they were not prepared to sacrifice their grouse-shooting for the benefit of the poor . Opposed as he was to this bill , his in ention was , as soon as the Allotment Committee had come to a decision as to the results of the All otment System to move the second reading of the bill of which he had given notice . He had presented various petitions from his own part of tbe country , signed by thousands of freeholders and respectable persons .
In the parish in which lie resided there must be 150 or 200 freeholders , and they with the others generally supported bis measure . Could the Noble Lord boast of any such support to his bill among tho public out of doors 3 He was aware that the bill would be of some benefit to the labouring classes ; he knew that no bill had come before the House for some timo that was so likely to alleviate the ] frightful evils which now prevailed among the working population ; but still he could not agree to it , because it would deprive the poor of their rights , and to that he would never agree . If , however ] the principle of his bill should be adopted by the fjfoble Lord , viz ., to give a certain portion of every common enclosed to the poor , then the Noble Lord should have his support . ! Sir Charles Burrell and Mr . Miles approved of Lord Worsley ' s bill . I Lord Worsley ' s bill . |
Mr . Roebuck objected to tha bill that its tendency was to create a pauper population connected with the land . Depend upon it , an allotment system would raise a pauper agrarian population in this country . It was better that the working olasses should be dependant on wrfges . He did not wish to see such commons as those adjacent to London appropriated ; their benefit to the health and enjoyment of the population , especially the working classes , was immense . Moreover , he . saw in the bill the seeds of many a law-suit . Let Lord Worsley , and those who thought with him , repeal the Corn laws , and they would provide : surer and more abundant employment for the population than anything this bill could do for them . Lord John Manners also wished to see the work ing classes dependant on wages ; but an allotment system would enable them to eke but their
subsistence . He wished Lord Worsley ' s ] bill to be postpound until the report of the committee of inqniry on the subjeot of allotment was made . Mr . C . Buller paid a compliment to Lord John Manners , for his generous symyathies with the poor and working classes . But he could see no reason for the postponement of the bill , as it established no new principle , and the operation of which he conceived would be exceedingly bene ' ficial . Mr , Koebuck ' s objection to the inclosure of commons , on the ground of the health and enjoyment of the population , was met by an express provision of the bill ; and he could not possibly understand why the cultivation of waste lands should not be undertaken for a reason like this . J After some observations from Lord Sandon .
Mr . S . Crawford said he could not let this opportunity pass without stating the reasons why he persisted in his opposition to the measure . He considered that every enclosure bill that had passed that session was a robbery of the rights of the poor , and he looked on this bill as a measure for plundering the poor in a general form without coming to Parliment to do it . Theie was no provision in the bill that in his opinion adequately secured the poor man ' s rights . He therefore should give it his most decided opposition . To talk of playgrounds for the poor in their present state was an insult ; if they had playgrounds to go to they could not resort to them at present . The best play ; -ground the poor man could have , in his opinion , was land to raise an
independent support on . The Hon . and Learned Member for Bath desired that toe poor should be deppDdant only on wag *» s and not on land . He ( Mr . S . Crawford ) desked the reverse ]; he wished the labouring poor to derive an independent support from land , connecting the use of ( land to a certain extent with those who were employed in manufacturing labour . He denied that small occupations of laud caused the distress of the wretched poor of Ireland . Their distress was o ' wing to their not being able to get those small occupancies in snch a manner as at once to derive the full benefit of
them . They were prevented by high rents and other means from getting the full benefit of their holdings . He would not have enclosures except on condition that all should be for the poor , remunerating those who had rights of common } by the sale of a portion of the enclosed land , or by reserving rents upon it . Thinking , then , that this bill would extend the monopoly which the rich already had against the poor , he felt it his duty to [ divide the House against the bill ; and if the Hon .. Gentleman throught of withdrawing his motion for taking tho second reading that day six months , be should divide on the original question . j
Mr . Divett , looking to the deficiency of employment , and the importance of extending it , for the sake of the security of tho country , would support thabill . ' Mr . A gliokby also declared bis support of the bill , on similar grounds . On a division , the second read ng of the bill was carried by 64 to 4 . j Same other routine business passed , and the House adjourned at ten' minutes past eight .

On Monday , the 12 th inst ., William Parry . . The deceased was a member of the ( Youths' Chartist Association , of Manchester , and took a very active part in its formation . He was ! a young man oi ability ; and , had his life been spared , he-would have been a valuable acquisition to the cause of Chartibtn . He displayed considerable acuteness when engaged in defending the principles of democracy ; and his denunciations of tyranny were powerful and impressive . He was interred in the ftev . James Scholefield ' s Burial Ground . Ttie members of the Associa ion , in order to evince [ their deep sense of bis worth , engaged a band ; and , on Sunday last , walked in procession to the grave . Arrived at the spot which was destined to contain the ashes of departed patriotism , the band struck up the Marsellais * Hymn . By this time a jgreat concourse of
spectators were assembled . The music having ceased , a youth of seventeen years of age delivered a funeral oration , wherein he [ eulogised the deceased , and called upon all who heard him to assist in the overthrow of tyranny , and 1 , by their united exertions , accomplish the regeneration of the human race . A youth of the name of Hargreaves followed , and defended the political ' principles whioh had been advocated by his deceased { friend ; and urged on all present a . due performance of the duties devolving on them as parents , as brothers , as sisters , ai . d as citizens of an oppressedjand much injured country .
