Let this , then , be my answer to all who hare Bought from me to know what was meant , in my second letter from the New Bailey Prison at Manchester , when I told yon I had ™ much to say " . The people lose nothing by waiting for it ; their experience and observation 13 sufficient for their future guidance in the choice of leaders .

      try thai I have not liked . They usually draw together an immense mas of people—beyond ; whit can possibly near any speaker—at all events ; Eoch speakers as I am—they meet there ; promiscuously from different places ; the parties f don't know each other ; they know not with whom j they are acting in concert , and they are consequently j at the mercy of any rascally police spy or com- 1 son informsr who may go there , gpoai a mouth- ¦ isl or two of frothy nonsense , and make honest ;

      NEWCASTLE —Globious effects of TJkidn . —Ameetingof tiedelegatesfrom the mining districts , was held in the Black Swan Inn , Clayton-street , . Newcastle , on Saturday last , commencing at jten o ' clock ; Mr . Bcnjaaun Watson having been elected to the chair , briefly opened the proceedings ] by stating the purport of the meeting , and calling upon each delegate present to produce his credentials prior to entering into any other business . Notwithstanding the restrictions agreed to at last meeting , thai no more than one delegate should be sent by each" locality , iher * could notbelessthan 120 delegates present , and there was upwards of £ 60 contributed to the general fund . TJie results of the restrictive plan resorted to by the men , were discussed ; and it

      was proven to be highly beneficial to the coalminers generally , and agreed to be continued at 3 s . per day . ' The following resolutions were likewise agreed to , -viz : —** Th&t a general public meeting of the miners of the Nonh of England , be held at Sheddonhill , jBlackfel ) , on Saturday , July 8 th , proximo chair to be taken at twelve o'clock precisely ; and that a delegate meeting be held immediately after the pubHc meeting . " — "That Berjamin WatBoni be engaged as lecturer . * " That William Hammond be likewise engaged as a lecturer . " " That William Daniels be likewise requested to officiate [ as l « jturer , && , for the furtherance of the society in Scotland " A lengthy detail of the manner in which the oppressed miners of England . Scotland , and Wales , were tyrannized over by their trnel taskmasters , and robbed of the fruits of their indnstry in innumerable ways , gave rise to a lengthy

      discussion on the subject , when it was ultimately agreed that the m ? jor part of the crimes committed by the lackeys of the Coal Kings , was allowed to pass with impnmty for want of wholesome legal advice ; and the incapacity ef the . men to hire professional men in incmdnal cases , as the Masters could do , rendered it highly necessary that a gentleman on whom the working mtn could place confidence , should ; be engaged to conduct the causes of the miners , and rendered independent of the frowns of the slavedrivers so long as he continued trustworthy : and as it would only xeqnire a irifla from each miner in Durham and Northumberland , to render an honest lawyer independent of the masters , it was resolved : " That Mr . Roberts , late of Bath , be solicited to act as attorney for the miners of the Tyne , Wear , and Tees ; and % hat » a correspondence be immediately entered into to make the necessary arrangments with that gentleman . "

      Asn-Cofis Law HtfflBUG Agais . —The Rev . Mr . Petere , of Ssuderiand , lectured in South Shields , on Thmsday evening , the 23 rd instant . Aftei ; he had gone through the usual arguments t ^ at the League adduce in defence of their philanthropy (!) Mr . Eydd ( feeling indignant that the Rev . Gentleman should suppose bis auditory so unacquainted with ihe present state of things as to suppose that bis cuckoo-song would tend to ameliorate the distress so very prevalent amongst the industrious classes of the country , wrote a challenge to the Rev . lecturer , which he handed to Thomas Bell , Esq ., the chairman , stating that he would discuss the subject with the Rev . Mr . Peters , or any other gentleman , and undertake to prove that a -mere Repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws would be a curse , and not a blessing , to the working classes . The Chairman declined reading the challenge to the

      meeting , or handing it to Mr . P . ; but that Mr . ^ P . should not remain ignorant of Mr . Kydd ' a intentions , Mr . £ . told Mr . P ., after his lecture , that he wished to test the arguments which ho had adduced , in defence of his clap-trap measures . Mr > P . declined , whereupon Mr . JL anaounced that he would give a lecture on the Corn Law 3 on the following evening , in tlie Scaxbro' Spa Inn long room , on which occasion he would review the arguments of the Rev . Air . P ., and hold them up in their proper light ; and , as he was open for discussion ^ he would be happy to see as many of the Free Traders there as thought that the Free Trade nostrums were nonest . Mr . 3 L lectured on Friday evening , as announced ; but it would appear that none' of the League had sufficient confidence in the truth of their Free Trade opinions to induce them to have it publicly investigated . Truth alone can stand iavestisation I ;

      AsotHkb Coai-pit Explosion . —The inhabitants tf Longton , Staffordshire , were , on Monday last , thrown into a most indescribable state of alarm and mental suffering , by the report that an accident from fire-damp had occurred , at one of the neighbouring coal-pits , which ? -epoTt turned out to be but too true . Nine unfortunate men were prematurely hurried into eternity 2 The full particulars of tbe accident have not yet been communicated to us ; but Tve learn that two colliers lost their lives through venturing into the pii to render assistance to their brethren who had been exposed to the ravages of the explosive gases . The carbonic acid left after the explosion , of the mixed hydrogen and the oxygen of the common air , deprived the brave sail feeling men of life .

      Contrast the conduct of these two poor colliers , who were thus ready to sacrifice life itself at the altar of ' . friendship , with the unfeeling conduct of ttbe Masters and their " Bntties , " who coin gold out of the heart'fl blood of the collier , while they unfeeliufcly refuse him means sufficient , in Teturn for ; his hard toil , to procure tbe barest comforts of existence ! The Potteries nave only just seen the end of one sxbiee , most alarming in its nature , and most devastating in its course ; caused by the reductions in the wages of those who work entombed in the bowels of the earth , exposed to such casualties as the one which has jsst hurried kisb men off the stage of existence . Nov content with the reductions then effected , another ib attempted ! The owner of the mines who who was the first to offer a reduction

      . last time , has given notice of another of fourpence a-dayl J 1 If this should be effected , the wages will be , lor constantly exposing themselves to death , and for tolling at the hardest and most uncomfortable species of labour , jdst eighteen pbscs a-dat JI Would there be just cause for wonder , were u Rebecca" to leave Wales , and pay us a visit 1 Can the owners of property , really think that they are safe , while such a system of " grinding the faces of the poor" is permitted to exist ? T ? nf ! PTtAT . T ! —Chdbch Rates . —This wee ^

      our town is placarded with bills , announcing tha * in consequence of the certainty of the parish refnsing to grant a compulsory Church-rate , that the wardens of tbe various townships will canvass their respective districts to try how much they can collect , by Toluntary contribution towards defraying the expenee of sacramental wines , sweeping of . the church ( of whieh it is said to stand in great need ) , bell ropes , &c . We h ^ ar soaie of the Dissenters are to have sermons preached and collections made , which are to be given as voluntary Church-rates .

      HEBD 8 . —On Tuesday morning , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , E ? q-, on the body of Elizabeth Mitchell , 16 years of age , who expired in the Infirmary , on Monday morning . The deceased was admitted to the institution on Sunday evening , and was bnrnt very much in ail parts of her body . She was , it would appear , of rather weak intellect , and subject to fits . She Teaded with her parents in the Calls , but there was sobody with her in the house at the time the accident happened , and she gave no account of the matter to any one ; tho probability seemed to be however , that she had been seized with a fit and had fallen into the Ere ; her screams and the Barnes attracted the attention of a a young man who was passing , and he succeeded in putting out the fire , and gave an alarm to the neighbours . She was removed to the Infirmary immediately . Verdict , * Accidentally burnt . "

      Death of a Lttsatic . —Oa Tuesday last , an inquest wa 3 heid at the Retreat for tbe Insane , at CasOeton Lodge , near Leeds , before John Blackbarn , E = q , to inquire concerning tbe death of Mr . John Crowther , late of Sowerby Bridge , near Halifax , a patient is the institution , and who dieu there on the 14 ih instant . The Retreat is a private asylum , nnder the cstb of Samuel . Smith , Esq ., eurgeon , and his son , Dr . George Pyemont Smith , both of Leeds , and it is situated -u the township of Armley- Tns deceased had been a pane-nt about fourtPCR mouths . His death was not communicated to the CoroBPr by the proprietors of the Retreat , it being their opinion that there wa-s no necessity , for holding an inquest ; some of his relatives , however , ( amongst whom a- little jealousy seems to exist on the score of ihe deceaseo s property ) intimated ,.

      at that time as seemed to justify the propriety of tfce step . The body had been soldered up in a }•¦ - >/ coffin , and was encosed in an oak one also , preparatory for removal ; and these had to be opened m order to enable the juiy to obtain a view . An id ^ a seemed to hav e been entertained thai the ! deceased had committed suicide ; but the evidence of Dr . Pyemont Smith , Mrs . Miller , the matron of the institution , and Mr . Burns , the keeper in attendance apoa the deceased , went entirely to disprove any suspicion of titis nature , and to show that he had been for sometime labouring under symptoms of an attack of broncHtes , dropsy , and other complaints , and that natural causes alone had operated to j his death . Under these circumstances , the jury j returned a verdict of " Died by the visu&iiori of God /' wirh which the relatives who were in attendance expressed themselves fully satisfied . The deceased was sixty years of age . .

      Gahbukg . —On Monday , the police brought ^ before the bench at tbe Court-House , several young men on charges of gambling on Saturday night and Sunday morning . The result was , that six of them were fined 6 s Sd . each , or In default of payment , three hours in the stocks . The alternaiiva » as preferred in each ca&e , and during the afternoon » hcy were publicly pxhibned in the Conrt-Honse yard . Tfaeir namei are William Motley , Joseph rtid « r , James Roberts , William Seals , Benj . Sykes , snd William Hawkridge .

      The Town Council and King Chabies's Cboft . —Our Leeds readers are aware that tho Croft in Land ' B Lane , the property of Thomas Hebden , Esq ., has been by that gentleman converted into a market ; at first for the sale of fruit , vegetables , fcc , but iabgequontly for the sale of pi « s . The Town Council aro about to dispute his right to do this , and claim for tuemsalves the exclusive right of all marketage within the Borough . By their directions , the Town Glerk has commenced an action in the nama of the lessee of the Vicar ' s Croft market , against the lessee of King Charles ' s Croft . In spite of this , however , the market is still kept open , and on Tuesday last , a large number of fine pigs were penned for sale therein . Tne Town Council , on that day , isfusd a placatd-cautioa , which seemed to have no other effect than thai of drawing public attention more fully towards the market . m __ m _ *¦• -... _ .

      Theatre . —Mr . FrJtchard continue ? , though not " to command" all the " success" we tbink he meri is , to do more—deserve ; it . " During the past week amongEtother entertainments the newly dramatized piece of Susan Hopley h » = been presented to the Leeds playgoers . We are told that this pieco was very popular in town . : There is , to be sure , no accounting for taste ; and there aro few things in which we admire cockney tasie > W « wers not therefore at all surprised , on ; seeiHg this piece on Thursday evening , to find it as much made of by the actore of Mr . Pritehard ' s company as its merits will probably allow . It is , as a piece , a miserable affair . Its whole merits are those of the machinery , for which the contracted stage of our Theatre affords

      little ecope . Tae murder-vision , and tho churchyard scenep , were very effeotive ; and Miss W . Scott made the most of the heroine , as did also all tbe other performers of their respective parts . In the Farce of " Winning a Husband , " we cannot speaK too highly of Mrs . J . Rogers . The versatility of this lariy ^ comic humour was severely tested by the difficult part of Jenny Transit , in which she bustains eight transformations of character in rapid and instant snecession to each other , and in which she did that most difficult of all things to be done undrr such cireumstances—kept the audrence from supposing that in actual life tbe subject of her hoaxiu ^ must have wen tbo trick that was being played

      upon him . Her changes of voiee , manner , ami gesticulation , and her impersonation of the dff . rent parties she represented , was so perfect as to make the deception quite feasible . Samfof her impersonations , especially those of Miss Cornelia Clementina Oappergo and Miss Bridget Blackthorn , were really rich . Mr . J . Rogers , as Sir Rodoric 5 trangeways , mi 3-tained his perplexities j and difficulties with excel lently appropriate humour . We wpre glad of one material improvement ; since our last visitation to tho Theatre . Less time was occupied in music and dancing between thepieces , and the audience were let out in decent time for home . This is much better than keeping : - " open house" till twelve o ' clock .

      Robbing Lodgings— rOn Monday a woman named Elizabeth Ann Jackson , was brought before ihe magistrates at the Conrt House , oa a charge of bavin ? stolen a silver watch , a remnant of silk , three silk handkerchiefs , and ether articles , from the house of Mrs . Sarah Hyde , in Brick-street , at which place she had obtained iodgipga on the third of May , and from whence she absconded on the sixth of the same mouth , taking with her the articles mentioned , information was given to the police , and it was soon

      afterwards * scertained fthat the woman wa 9 in custody at Manchester ; and her term of imprisonment expiring on Friday last , Mr . Ulleart , police-clerk , went there and apprehended her on her discharge . The property of Mrs . Hyde had been pledged vfrth Mr . Sawrey , in Commercial-street , Leeds , and the tickets were found on the prisoner ' s person wh > n sho was apprehended in Manchester . The properfy was produced aad identified , and the prisoner , who said nothing to the charge , was committed for trial at the next assizes .

      THOBNLE ? Colliery . —A public meeting of the- colliers residing in this neighbourhood , was holden on the 10 th inst . At eleven o ' clock the men of the various collieries passed through the town of Thornley in procession ; with bauds of music playing popular airs , and banners fanning the breeze . It was the most numerous gathwiug of workmen witnessed in that part of the country for a considerable period . Mr . Harrison presided over the meeting ; and the assembly was addressed byi Messrs . Beesley , Richmond , and Emelton , in speeches characterised by enBrjeyj and power . The utmost enthusiasm prevailed ; and the several speakers were rapturously applauded .

      BRADFORD .-Pitchebixg . —At the Court House , en Wednesday ; Denby Fearnley charged Jonathan Waller and three others with having assaulted him . The case occurred at Idle , on Saturday night , between ten and eleven o ' clock . The complainant was walking across Idle Green , in com * pany with his lady-love , when they were pounced upon by the defendant and others , who kicked and beat him , all taking a ] share in the assault , but he could only identify Weller as having struck him , though the others were present . They did not assault the female , who , as soon as tho row began , passed from amongst them and proceeded forward The magistrates . inflicted a fine 5 a . and costs £ 1 Is . on Waller , and discharged the remainder , as bo positive offence wa 3 proved . against them .

      Bbctal Assault . —On Wednesday , at the Court House , Wm . Hargreaves preferred a charge of assault against Thomas Craven . The assault was committed on Saturday night , in front of the Victoria public house , Manningham , and was one which had nearly proved fatal to the party attacked . It appeared from the evidence that complainant went into the public house and found defendant there ; he stayed awhile , and then defendant -began to talk about some matters of dispute which had occurred previously . A row was the consequence , and they were turned 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 inflicted a fine of £ 5 , including costs .

      Bkadpobd Fair . —The fair has passed over without so many of those drunksn displays , which characterised the Summer fair . The oldest inhabitant can not remember having seen bo few drunken people , at such a period of festivity . Much-credit is due to the various branches of the teetotal society , who have strenuously exerted themselves since the commencement of the long days , to propagate the temperance doctrine , by holding camp meetings on a Sunday , in various parts of the country . Dbowkikg . —On Friday last , an inquest was holden on the body of Charles Heaton , a boy

      aged eleven years . On Thursday , the 1 st of June , the boy , in company with his younger brother , was attempting to draw some timber out of the beck , it being " then much swollen , when ho fell in , and was carried ' away by the flood . His brother ran to acquaint his parents who flew to render assistance but could find no trace of him . For several days the stream was dragged for the body , but without i Sect . On Thursday evening last , as two men were fishing in tbo river Aire , at a distance of six miles from Bradford , they saw an object floating in the water which they drew to the bank . It proved to be the missing boy . Verdict . " " Accidental death . "

      WAKEF 1 ELD . —The Robbery at Altofts . — Some parties are in custody at Leeds , on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary at the residence of Miss Dodds , at Altofts , near Wakefield . One of the parties is a man named Castelow , the brother of the leader of the East Moor gang , and another is Rhodes , a sweep from Wakefield . In addition to about £ 37 , a silver watch , some plate , and a pair of gold spectacles , were : taken from Altofts . A teaspoon , with th * initials filed out , the broken remains of a gold frame belonging to spectacles , and a silver watch , have been traced to the possession of the prisoners .

      REMARKABLE INCIDENT IJf RAILWAY TRAVELLING . —On Mondsy laBt , the passenger train , which arrive at Wakefield from Manchester .-. ; half-past ten o ' clock in the forenoon , left that Station for Jjftds with one holitary passenger , who happened to be " mine host" of the ; Fleece Inn , Wakefield . He took his stand " all alone in his glory , " in the first carriage next the engine , commonly called a waggon . No doubt , on the arrival of the train at Leeds , the gor > d folks would be rsomewhat surprised , if not alarmed , as it might fairly bo assumed that tbo wor-hy landlord had coma on toe most urgent business is a special train I

      Shag beyond the . JURISDICTION . —Many of the Leeds and other attornies are frequently in the habit of suing parties at Wakefield and the neighbourhood in the small debt courts of Pontefract , Bradford , and Heddersfield . It ought to be generally known , andj we have been requested to afford the information , that all parties residing within the manor of Wakefield aie without the jurisdiction of these courts , ' and may plead the circumstance , without fear of failing , in bar ? of such proceedings . >

      HUDDERSFIEIiD . —Narrow Escape from iFibb . —On Monday last , about one o ' clock at noon , a few sparks escaped from a fluo running from tbe tearing room through' some other rooms in the factory of Messrs . StaTkey Brothers ^ and set fire to some combustible materials with which they came in contact . The workmen on the _ premises gave every necessary assistance ; and in about three hours they quenched the ire . It is now some three yeara since a similar accident happened from a similar cause . Its recurrence is to be prevented by the flie being entirely removed . The firm sent £ 10 to be divided amongst the men for their exertions in extinguishing the Ore , and thus saving tbe whole Of the valuable ^ remises .

      Another Fibb . —Oh Wednesday morning the v »* arehouse of John Wood , EiO , . , Dalton , was discovered to be on fire . The Yorkshire Fire Engine was immediately on tho Bpot , and in a few hours the fire was completely got under . The loss will not be very great

      Depasture op the Great Western Steam-Ship . —Livebpool , Saturday . —This ornament to the steam marine of Great Britam sailed about noon to-day from the Cobourg Dosk , for New York .

Her passengers numoer between sixty and seventy , and the carries out a valuable cargo of fine goods . Railway Collision in the Summit Tunnel . — A iri ( ih , tul accident occurred on Wednesday at noon m the centre of the Summit ; Tunmll ; tho mail train running into a luggage train . The mail tram leaves Manchester at ten rainujjes before eleven o clock , a . m , and navels at a great speed . No intimation had been fjiveu to tho driver on entering tho tnnuel that a luggage train was only juak in advance , and the steam prevented him from" seei

      ng the light at theHcnd of the train . The consequence was that whea abouthalf way through the tunnel , it ovsrtook , and dashed into the luggage train , smashing two or three carriages , but , providentially , not hurting an individual . Considarable delay occurred in the tranBit 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 Btringenfc inquiry into tho origin oi thia disaster ought to be made , and tho public mind fully relieved from all apprehension of future accident in such a spot . A collision on the railway is bad enough anywhere ; but realty frightful when it occurs in the bowels or' the earth . Great blame attaches , eithor to the Company in not having a watchman at the ; mouth of the tunnel or to the watchman , if one is stationed there .

      " REBECCA" IN WAUSS . ATTACK ON CARMARTHEN WOHKHOUSE EMPLOYMENT 0 ? THE MILITARY . TURE OF *; ONE HUSTBBED 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 Watur-street-gate in this town , when they were successfully resisted by five hundred persons , of whom one hundred and five were aTined with gim ^ This "was represented to tho Home Secretary , and a military force solicited by the

      borough and county magistrates , as it was impossible for the civil povrer to execute any legal process . After the lapse of some days it was intimated that cavalry would bo sent hero ; but it was not known where tbey were to come from , nor when they would arrive , la thelmeaatime , on Thursday and Friday nights , the mob destroyed all the gates between this place and eho Tivy side , and I believe all along the banks of tbiat river ; and it was known that an immense assemblage -would enter this town today , u was reported , oily to demonstrate their strength . It was to consist of farmers on horseback , and ot l urs on foot ; and rumour magnified U to 10 , 000 or 12 , 000 men . These were for tho most part operated upon

      by their fears ; for notifies , ] some verbal , some in writing , were given that there would be a meeting , and it would be best for them to attend , or else——This was understood to bej that they would be punished by having their places set on fire . Yesterday , notices were posted | ou all the church and chapel doors to a similar effect within the several parishes invthat district of country . The Mayor and magistrates of the borough , and ib * county magistrates in and near the borough , met daily and nightly to devise the best means of meeting the coming danger ; and last night it was ascertained that cavalry were en route from Cardiff , and an express was sent dff to accelerate their

      movements . The express me ' t them about two miles on this sido of Neath about Jfour o'clock this morning . CNealih is thirty-three miles off by the nearest road . ) They pushed on , j and got here about twelve o ' clock , haying come ttie last fifteen miles in au hour and a half . Two horses died from sheer fatigue . About an hour before the military arrived , the demonstration was made . It consisted of about 500 horsemen , and from 2 , 000 to 3 , 000 on foot They entered the town at Water-street-gate , and went round Picton ' s Monument , over the quay , and by thehall , where the magistrates were assembled , but committed no outrage by ihe 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 them , T . 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 . But 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 cavalry had not arrived at the critical ^ noment they did , the whole place would have been in a blaze .

      Of those oapturod , the women were liberated . Some of the men , and many highly respectable farmers and freeholders—forced , as they say , to join—were allowed to depart on their own recognizances ; others found bail for their appearance , and about fifteen or twenty are" committed for rje-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 , asd none permitted to receive roore rent far bis land than } four farmers shall say is a fair price for it . This is something liko the Irish "fixity of tenure . " i Things are now quiet , but how long they will remain so ia 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 agitate the kingdom elsewhere with a view of harassing the Government .

      WHO IS " BBBECCA ?" The Swansea Journal says that the " capture of so many of Rebecca ' s gang will no doubt , tend to lead to the conviction of the leader or leaders , who have so long bid' defiance to the law . Tho want of pystematio procedure and precaution in avoiding a surprise by the military would induce us to think that Rebecca herself was no > t present at the riot on Monday . The skill , and above all , the celerity with which her followers have hitherto oonduoted their proceedings , is abundant evidence that she

      is an able tactitian . Such ! a captain would havo conduoted the expedition of Monday in very different style . There are strange rumour 3 afloat in regard to the identity of this now celebrated leader . It is now beyond doubt , that ha iala gentleman of fortune , aad moreover a magistrate ofja neighbouring county . His name wo have even heard , but we do not at present wish to make any hazardous supposition on the subject , as it is extroraely probable we shall be enabled to make some important disclosures to the public by next week .

      by thousands of freeholders and respectable persons In the parish in which he resided there must be 150 or 200 freeholders , and they with the others # eneraliy supported his measure . Could the . Noble Lord boast of any such support to bi 3 bill among * h © public oufcof doors \ He was aware that the bill would be of some benefit to the labouring classes ; he knew that no bill had come before the Honse for some time that was so likely to alleviate the frightful eVila which now prevailed among the working population ; but still he could not agree to it , because it would deprive the poor of f heir rights , and to that he would never agree . If , However , the principle of his bill should be adopted by the Noble Lord , viz ., to give a certain portion of every common enclosed to the poor , then the Noble Lord should havo his support . Sir Charlfs Bubrell and Mr . Mile 3 approved of Lord Worsley ' s bill .

      Mr . Roebuck objected to the bill that its tendency was to create a pau ? er population connected with the land . Depend upon it , an allotment system would raise a pauper agrar . an population in this country . It was better tha : the working classes should be dependant on wa < rep . He did not ; wish to see such commons as thope adjacent to London appropriated ; their benefit to the health and enjoyment of the population , espeeia ]; y the working classes , was immense . Moreover , ho eaw 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 bili could dofor them . Lord John Markers also wi « had to see the working classes dependant on W 8 ,. % es ; but an allotment system wouW enable them to eke oat their subsistence . He wished Lord Worpley's bill to be postpoa « d until the report of the committee of inquiry on the subject of allotment wa ? made .

      Mr . C . Buller paid a compliment to LoH John Manners , for his generous symyatfcieg with the poor and working classes . But be could see no reagon for the postponement of the bill , as it established no new principle , and the operation of which he conceived would be exceedingly benf ficial . Mr . hoebuck ' s objection to the inclosure of commons , on the ground of the nealth and enjoyment of the population , was mot by an express provision of the bill ; and he could not possibly understand why tho cultivation of waste lands should not be undertaken for a reason like this . After some observations from Lord Sakdon .

      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 © very enclosure bill that had passed that ses&ion was a robbery of the . rights of the poor , and he looked on this bill as a measure for plundering the poor iu 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 mcit 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 beso play-ground the poor man could have , in bis opinion , was land to raise an

      independent support on . The Hon . and Learned Member for Bath desired that the poor should be dependant only on wages and not on land . He ( Mr . S . Crawford ) desired the reverse ; he wished the labouring poor to derive au independent support from land , connecting ihe use of land to a certain extent with those who were employed in manufaoturiug labour . He denied that small occupations of land cansed the distress of the wretched poor of Ireland . Their distress was owing to their not being able to get those small occupancies in such 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 n"t 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 tho rich already had against tbe poor , he felt it his duty to divide the Honse against the bill ; and if th « Hon . Gentleman throught of withdrawing his moHou for taking the second reading that day six months , he should divide ou the original question .

      Mr . Hifett , looking to the deficiency of employment , and the importance of extending it , for the sake of the security of the country , would support the bill . Mr . Aglionby also declared his support of the bill , on similar grounds . Oa a division , the seoend reading of the bill ¦ was carried by 64 to 4 . Some other routine business passed , and the House adjourned at ten minutes past eight .

      Thursday , Jhse 22 . After some preliminary business of little moment , fcho order of the day for tho House to resolve itself into a committee on the Soga-r Duties wa 3 read ; whereupon Mr . CobdkN , moved that " Jt is not expedient to compel payment of a higher price for colonial thaa for other commodities , and that therefore all proteotive duties on . colonial produce ought to be abolished " But the Speaker informed tho Hon . Member that his motion could not be put . The House , therefore , went into Committee , and Mr . Evvart moved " That the amount of duty levied on the importation of foreign sugar be 24 s , instead of 63 s . pefcwt . " After a long debate , tho Committeo divided , whea there

      were—For Mr . Ewart ' s amendment ... 50 Against it 135 Majority 85 Mr . Hawes thm moved that " the duty on foreign sagars be reduced to 34 s . " Another long " talk" ensued , when another division "tnok place , the numbers being—For fae motion of Mr . Hawes 122 Against it 203 Majority against the motion ... 81 The different clauses having been gone through , tho House resuniFd ; the report was bron « ht up and ordered to be received to morrow ( this day ) The House then adjourned at one o ' clock .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS—JWednesdat , June . 21 . Tho Princess Augusta ' s Annuity Bill was read a third time , aad passed .

      WASTE LANBB BILL . Mr . Ferhand said , as the [ select committee on the allotment of waste lands had not yet made their report , he proposed to postpone the second reading of the Waste Lands Allotment Bill till it should be ready . —Order discharged , and fixed for Wednesday next . ] After the second reading of . tho Scientific Societies ' Bill had been moved and agreed to , and some " talk " had been had ou the Coroners' Bill , Lord Worsley ' s Commons Inclosure Bill was proposed for second reading , ] which was met by Colonel Sibchorp with an amendment , that it be read that day six months . ! recommended the

      Mr . Stuart Wortley postponement of the bill , ou tha gr ' pvmd of its importance and complicity . j Lord Woksley felt strongly the importance of carrying forward tho bill during the present session . There were nearly two million acres of waste land in the country , which could ) be reclaimed at an expence of £ 12 an acre , by which great employment would be afforded to the labokring population There was a strong disposition to carry out inclosures , but parties were deterred by the ] groat expence of sepa rate inclosure acts . He proposed t- > carry out hia measure by the aid of the tithe commispioners ; who , on the application of two-thirds of those int rested in an inclosure . should send assistant commissioners to

      examine and report . The coramissiouers to report the progress of all inclosures twice a year to the Home-offioej and the Houso ' of Commons to have a veto on any inclosure , should one-fourth of those interested object to it . He had endeavoured to ascertain ths probable expence of the working of his measure ; and was satisfied ! that unopposed inclosures , the expence of which under the present system , amounts to from £ 400 ] to £ 600 , would not by the present bill exceed £ 40 . Considering the capital whioh would bo invested in reclaiming land , and the employment which jwould be afforded , he was satisfied that the bill , if passed , wosld prove an important boon to the interests of agriculture and the country . \ ana the country . t

      Mr . FemiaND was sorry ho eoald not agree in the moasure as i * stood . He foimd in it not one single provision that reeognised distinctly the rights of the poor cottager . If it became law , the poor man never would have o chance of becoming master of a piece of waste land ; and ho ] thought the bill at any rato could not by any possibility bo carried out in tho manufacturing districts ! But though he could not agree to the Bill as itj stood , to some plan of some such nature they mupt come , if they would avoid revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Machinery was increasing to such au extentjthat not only would the masses now out of emploympnt mnain so , but those masses would be greatly increased before long . The new wool-combing machinery would alone throw ? 100 . 000 persons out of employment . What must be the result of such a state of things , ! It was in evidence before the Select Committee 6 a the Allotment System , and tfne evidenoe was that of a member of the

      Honse , that in one district , near where he (\ Ir . Ferrand ) reside 1 , the poors' rate was 9 s . 6 d . in the pound ; in other places theyjware paving a 7 s . rate . The farmers could uot lon « r support that state of thi- 'gs . He was convinced that by njsxt rent-day one farmer in every Svo would be paying 5 * . in thy pound . It was known that in 1836 and 1837 a vast number of poor labourers ha < i been removed from tho agricultural to the manufacturing districts . He ha ^ moved for a return r «* pfOting t ie'Wnabt rs of thes-: < poor persons so removed . What was tho vesuh ? Although Mi . iMuu ' - ridgc admitted that a ^ n : suy a ^ ) 0 . 0 l > 0 Wfve removed , the return only accnu . i ' wi for 4 , 928 . Was the House awpe of the s'at . a of tb « wooi-comhiu « trade at prtsent 1 In York * hir « and

" If tbs Hou * .- could-not pass some such measure as th s what were they there for ? Th-y wero soon to separate ; and . no asked , bad the House durina the session pair -d one g in ^ lrmea-ure , or done anything to alleviate me existing distress ! There might be j a slight stiwilus . in trade just at prepont ; but he v / aa thoroughly convinced that , be f ore long , trade would fail bat-. k to what it was at Christmas . Tine RUht Hon . Baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) , whon he ( Mr . Fc-rracJ ) had asked for leave to bring in a bill i ' or tbe enclosure of cultivable waste land , had said that all the waste land

      that was wor h cultivation hail b- > eu enclosed ; would he say so still I He ( Mr . Ft * ra . ud ) was toid by a gentleman * veil acquainted with the district in Lancashire f which he spokr , tha < there v ^ era 200 , 000 acres ef waste land oul ti vatauie there . The House , in his opinion , was answerable tp provide the taeansof subsistence for the people ; a »< d if they were not able to provide those means he bad no hesuaTsu in saying their functions were at an end .
