This was in consequence ot representations from the Committees of those two Societies , which lefc no doubt that such extended relief was highly necessary . Ti . e Committee have received , since the issuing of the Report , two further grants from the Manufacturers' Rblief Committee , in London , amounting to Six Hundred Pounds , but for this aid , their operations would have had to be on a much less extended scale . In conclusion , the Committee beg to report the two following resolutions , passed at the weekly meeting of the Committee , on Monday last : — " That in the opinion of this Committee , it is inexpedient to purchase the premises of which the Soup Kitchen forms a part . " " That it be recommended to the public meeting to purchase an annuity of £ 15 for thirteen years , ig the names of the Leaseholders of the Soup Kitchen premises , in order to relieve them from any liability and that the balance of £ 120 5 i . Id , remaining ia the Treasurer ' s hands of the original sum of £ 577 7 s . 7 J ., transferred from the Poor Relief Fund of last winter , be applied towards effecting that object . " The number of quarts of Soup , for which tickets have been granted gratuitously to the Church of Eugland District Visiting Society , and to the Benevolent Society , from the 1 st January to the 25 th Februaiy inclusive , is 115 . 200 ; and the total number of quarts thus granted since the opening of the Kitchen on August 11 th , is 180 , 000 . The number of quarts purchased by the poor at the Kitchen , since the 1 st of January , is 12 , 660 ; and the total since the opening 68 . 800 .

( Continued fr > m our Seventh ^ . age . ) tern , sad to reduce the extravagant expencas of these establishments . He objected to the expencs of tht 1 * yt& laeotettancy of Ireland , which amounted to between £ 50 . 000 and £ 60 , 000 . What heneSt -was obtained by this expenditure ? Wu the office of any Teal use ? For Mb own part , he considered that the maintenance of the office was so advantage to the country . Hs thoaeht , if ths exoenees of thla country " era taoroujnly investigated , and If its resources were jmuwrly considered , such unnecessary expenditure TOBia not be incurred ; and lie would repeat , that before the House wai called upon to Tote supplies , they ought to have the means of ascertaining in what w » y the revenne of tbeconntry m to be obtained-Hhear ) . It was peculiarly necessary at the present time , when the country
ins in snch a sUte of extreme distress , that they shonM notreefclessly Yotaaway the public money . "Widiregsrd to » nperannB&tedaUowanc « 8 , he thought that public cJIcers ought to ieceiT 8 a sufficient compensation for their ser-Tices , ana that when those services were vo lo- ger reqnired they ¦ Ojonid have no forther claim upon the country . He -was well aware that reductions conld not be At oDce effected in these establishments , but he considered tliat more economical plans ought in future to be adopted . He asked the House to consider the Bufferings of the people ; they were bound to do so ; and to think of methods of relieving , instead of angra-T&ting , the burdens under which the country groaned . He wanted to tnow , whsther the Government-had any intention of relieving the people from the burden of the Income Tax , or , if tioS , whether they had any of relieving the great body of the community from the pressure of indirect taxation ? The Hon . Gentleman
concluded fry moving his amendment , — " That at the i present period of extended distress , it is the duty of i the H ^ use to consider the means of lightening the pressure of taxation on the people , by reducing to the i greatest practicable extent the expenses of the military , j as well us of the cavil establishments of the country ; - that therefore it is expedient , that the Toting of any \ supplies should be postponed till the estimates of the j whele expenditure and the means Co meet that ex- ' peoditnre bo nr ? t furnished to the House . " ; Mr Hume seconded the amendment . j The question having been put , . 1 Mr . WlLi . ta . 5 is -ibjeatedto the expense of the Irish and the ^ Metropolitan police , which were , in fact , well trained military bodies , supported out ef the taxes ; I and ir-quired why the 2 rmy was maintained on its pre- sent extaTagant footing ? j
Tbe Cha > cellob oj the exchequib cons ) -. flered that ipp ? j should be reserved till the particular , estimates were ur-Jer discussion . ' 24 r _ Htmie considered that with proper reductions j in the expense of our establishments the income tax j might have been rendered unnecessary . He supported the General Joh > 'SO > " also thonght that ' the amendment was a reascn-hh ; one . During the five nights of debate on the * iste of the country he had not heard one wor 4 in explanation oi the real cause of the distress , "whicn was overtaxation . Captain PoiHiLX referred the cause of distress-to the great acti rapid increase of the population . Machinery was the enrs ? of the conntry . : On a division , Mr . Cratrford's amendment was supported bj 13 . and rejected by 62 . ; The House then went into a committee of supply :
Sir Hesht Hardixge bronght forward the army estimates . As compared with the previous year there is to be a redaction of 5 740 men , with a total saving on the entire estimates uf £ 133 , 000 The reduction in the number of men was &s fctrgt as coaid be tfiected at this early sta § e in the re-establishment of peaceful relations , keeping in view the proper relief of regiments serving abroad , and the effective discipline of the army . After goicp rtrongh the "rariuus items , hecoaclndrd by proposing the first Tote , which was for 100 . 146 men for the land service .
Mr . Hume considered that if tbe number of troops in our colonies were reduced , we conlti offord to abolish the duties on cotton and wooL He also censured the system adopted toward * the Boers of the colony of the C » pe of Good Hvpe ; and re-affirmed that our distresses arose from extravagance , as well as bad legislation . He wished the force to be reduced to what it was in 1835 ; and proposed an amenamtnt that the vote be reduced by 10 OsO men . lord AiiTHTR Lbjj > 'OX considered that if we wished a belter class of men to enter ifce army , we . should increase the ra ' -s of pensions which was at present a miserable pittance of sixpence a day . Captain LiiiKD would vote for the amendment if he were convinced that the cr dit and dignity of the country could bt > sustained 'by tie reduction , of wnich , howtver he tm sot satisfied . Mr . "Williams regretted that 3 Ir . Hnme had not mOTed for a larger rednction .
SL- He >\ rt Habdisgs explained that many of the striczc-nt regulations compliined of , snch as that it kiting te widows" pensions , were not to be attributed to file Goversm' -nt , npon whom they were forced by : he reeomaen iations of the Sunce conimitttes . He denied that there wtic loo mxny troops in any one of our colonies . Af teT sr . me further discussion , a divison took place on Mr . Hume ' s amendment , when it was rejected by 106 to £ 0 . Tbe next vote was for £ 3 619 327 for the expenses of tb » army which was agreed to , as were the remaining vstcs Tbe v > te for the t-xpenses of the volunteer er * j » W 29 ai . Jected to by 2 dr- Williams , bnt was carried by 9 S to 2 S . Sir James 0 KaBaM then moved the second reading of the registratiou of Voters Bill , reserving discussion to a futnrc . siaea .
The other orders or the day were then disposed of , aad the House adjourned .

SirTHOius Wilde and the Solicitor-Gknekal agreed that no important question would be prejudiced bj taking out a summons to enlarge the time . Sir R . Pehl , in the expectation that the time would be enlarged , proposed to adjourn the debate , which was agreed to . Lord Ashlkt rose to more " that an humble address be presented to her Majesty praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to taice into her instant ana serious oonraderAtioB the bast means of diffusing the benefits and blessings of » moral and religious education amongst the workinng classes of her people . " After enlarging on the general importance of educati on , and the great increase of
population dnring the present century , he drew the attention of the House to the present state of crime and ignorance , and of moral and intellectual degradation in Manchester , Birmingham , Leeds , and other populous districts , among the lower classes , especially the younger portion of them . Drunkenness , cursing , promiscuous intercourse of the sexes , were frightfully prevalent among the youth . Tney knew no religion—no God ; the only knowledge possessed by great numbers of them was that of the exploits of Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppard . There was evidence which established the fact that not less than £ 25 , 000 . 000 sterling are annually expanded in ardent spirits ; and it was proved by medical men that a large proportion—perhaps half—of all the cases of insanity are produoed by the intemperance thus widely prevalent .
Hs was aware thai what he asked would occasion some expense ; bm if we would not consent to tax ourselves for the prevention of crime , we must be taxed more heavily still for the puni-bment of it . The expense of one convict for one year would educate more than one hundred children . He attributed much of the existing evil to the truck sjstem , to the payment of wages at public-houses , and to the miserabU- condition of the people ' s habitations . The present state of things could not continue for twenty years more , without producing a convulsion which must overthrow the whole fabric of society . It was remarkable that the better educated poor were net inund among the insnrgents in the late disturbances . This country owed a heavy debt to its poor , whose faults were mainly imputable to the neglects of those above them .
Sir J . Gbabab agreed in the acknowledgment of this debt to the poor , and deprecated , on this importai t discussion of their interests , all interference of party considerations . He concurred in Lord Ashley's opinions as to the truck- system and the payment of wages , and would be glad to join in any such further measure for the cure of those evils as could be enacted without a dangerous infringement npon private rights and contracts . The state of the people ' s dweUinga , and the general arrangement of sanat > ry regulations in large towns were subjects on wh : ch the Government was at this time actually occupied He gladJy gave his support to the present motion . He feared that Protestant England had more n -gieeted the grand duty of educating the
people than any other nation of Europe . The law had now been victorious ; the soldier and policeman had done their duty ; and the time was come when the public instructors must go forth . The Government had mo > -t anxiously considered this necessity ; and he ardently wi-hed that the Honse , laying aside all religions and political differences , would join in endeavouring vo find some neutral ground on which the Chnrch and the Dissenters might amicably meet . He won id now state what had been doue , and what the ministers would propose to do . In Scotland th « re existed a parochial system of National education ; and grants had been made by the Committee of Privy Council to two great normal schools which had been established in Edinburgh and Glasgow ,
and from which the whole kingdom would by degrees be supolied with instructors , teaching by the simultaneous system . Grants had also been made for schools in England—large grants , indeed , yet certainly not adequate to the need of the case With respect to the future , he would first propose that parishes should be united ; or the formation of district schools . The children to be there instructed should , in the first place , be orphans and other destitute paupers , or the offspring of poor parents willing t * let them be educated there . He would attach to each school a chapel , with a clergyman who shonld teach the liturgy and CatechiBm of the Chnrch ; the children of Dissenters , however , being exempted from attendance on those ministrations ,
and allowed to receive religious instruction from any licensed minisur of any denomination He gave several particulars respecting the state of some of the larger manufacturing districts , showing a total want of the means of instruction there ; and then proceeded to the case of children not dependent on parochial relief , but employed in factories . He would propos-e tfca ; no child shonld be suffered to work more than six hours md a half m one day ; and that each should be obliged to attend school daily for three hours . Ine principle upon which grants had been usually made lor lhe building of schools was , that ftcothirc ' s of the cost shonld be raised by private contribution . He would recommend that tor the futuro on <» -third only shonld be rt quired from private
oour .-tei . The maintenance of the school when built m ; gh ! be defrayed partly from small payments t j be made by the children themselves for their schooling , and partly by a parochial rate of threepence in the pound . He wou > d have the schools managed each by seven trustees , who should be , the clergyman , tne two churchwardens , and four persons to be nominated by the magistrates . The trustees should appoint the master , with the sanction of the Bishop . No child should be required to attend the worship of the Church of England , or the religious instruction imparted by the master , if the friends of such child should object to his being brought up in conformity with tbe Church of England . These provisions , he trusted , would protect all classes , and afford complete security against all attempts atproselytism .
Lord John Russell felt that the sums heretofore voted for the great purpose of education had been very inadequate , and , indeed , quite insignificant aa compared with the amounts granted for other public services . On the details set forth by Sir James Graham , he would not , Tvithout more mature consideration , pronounce an opinion ; but as between the Chnrch and the Dissepters , he regarded the principle of them as one which ought not to be opposed by those who had the great object of education really at heart . He illnstrated the necessity of interposition upon this subject , by some evidence of the state of spiritnai ignorance in the West Riding of Yorkshire , and expressed his opinion , that when a plan was thus fairly bronght forward with a view to
reconcile the consciences of all denominations , it would be not only folly , but wickedness , on the part of the House to reject it- His own objection was only that the scale of the provision was not large enongh . Any plan for a purpose like this could be effected only by an Executive Government generall y supported . He insisted on ; he importance of providing competent schoolmasters , and retaining them by sufficient inducements ; for it happened too often that , from tbe master ' s deficiency in zeal , or from his inaptitnde for his duty , the children learned what was taught them in a superficial manner , and without any real understanding or feeling of it ; and
where a master was well fitted for his duties , he was tempted to quit them by finding that he could get a better remuneration for his talents elsewhere . Some difficulty occurred in the unwillingness of parents themselves to let their children attend school ; and he wished some means to be considered by which that nnwillingness might be removed . He suggested also the expediency of providing some education for the classes above the poorest , so that the small farmers and tradesmen might net entertain a jealousy of the superior means of education afforded to their workpeople .
Lord Sakdotj expressed his satisfaction at the proFpects which this evening had opened . Mr . Ewaki desired to waive theological differences , for the sake of the great object now in view . Sir C . Burrell concurred . ilr . Shaw was disappointed that nothing had been said about the extension of the educational principle to Ireland . Mr . C . Bclleb reminded the House of the vast total of charity funds specifically applicable to education , amounting to about ^ 300 , 000 a year . There was another class of chanties , founded for giving f Eall sums to the poor . Such small sums were not only useless , but mischievous ; they were generally expeD . led in drink , and wonld be mnch better appLed in education . The amount of the foundations . ' or this purpose wa 3 not less than £ 170 , 000 a year .
fcir R . IxGLis could not approve , in a system of national education , the avowal of an intention to exclude proselytism ; since it must always be a duty to attempt the propagation of what we ourselves believed to be the trutn . Still less could he approve the suggestion of diverting any charitable foundations from the purposes of iheir foanderp , anless ^ those purposes could be proved to be immoral . air Gkob 6 e Gbkt hailed the prospect of improvement which now appeared to present itself through the cordial spirit of all parties He believed that Lord Coiienham was in communication with th-Government on the subject of a legislative measure for rendering certain classes of educational charities more available than at present .
Sir R . Pjsel said , that unless conviction were brought home individually to the minds of all men in the wealthier classes that they themselves had shared the gnilt of neglect in this matter , the good effected this evening would be bnt imperfect . With respect to the objection on the SHbject of proselytism , the question was one of balance between good and evil ; and he was not willing , for the sake of the occasional good of conversion , to let the present enormous evils , moral and religious , continue to press upon U 3 . He would be content to admit some modifications of educational charities , where the change of times aud circumstances had rendered the original purposes impracticable ; but he could not coDcnr in a proposal for diverting , even to bo good an object as that of education , a bt <) He ? l in \« utie < i for biiiiii duai ., ui ^ m > iLo )*** , ll o oo fended the . limited ECile ob which ; Government pro

Hawes thought the Dissenters would not like a trust of whion the clergyman of the parish was to be at the head . Mr . Acland was content that the comprehensive principle should be adopted in public schools ; bat he hoped that Government would not discourage the establishment also of such schools as private parties might wish to found for the education of children is the principles of the Church of England alone . Mr . Smith O'Brien expressed himself bnt little satisfied . Lord Ashley , in reply , thanked the House for the reception which it had given to his motion , which was then unanimously carried , and the House adjourned .

Moorhouse was chairman , and John Leach and George Can * delet were present . They also spoke . I have notes of Leach's speeoh . He informed the meeting that " they intended to go and join the Ash ton people ; from Ashton they would no to the Exchange , at Manchester , where they would meet the cotton lords , and he doubted not that they wonld have tbe advance ; and never to go to work until they had either tbe advance or tbe Charter . " I dont
remember anything further that was said . I remember the day on which Messrs . Horsfield ' s mill was stopped . It was on Tuesday , the 9 th . 1 saw a number of people going towards the mill . There was a large body coming from the direotion ot Ash ton and Stalybridge , towards Hyde . They were not walking in any sort of form . On Wednesday , August 10 th , there was a meeting at Hyde , at which Moorhouse , George Candelet , and John Leach were present . 1 have merely an outline of the notes . Tbe speakers desired the people to be quiet . Moorhouse said they were to proceed to Compstall-bridge , Glossop , and all tbe mills , and make the hands turnout Leaon spoke , but 1 have not his speeoh down . The
substance of his speech was recommending the people to keep out , but exhorting them te be peaceable and quiet . In the evening of the 11 th there was another meeting at Hyde . Leach an 4 Candelet , and a Mr . Crossley , a draper , were present . I have notes of what parsed . Leach Siid ha had attended a meeting of the shopkeepers at the Working Man ' s Institution , and they had come to a resolution that they would keep the turn-outs for two weeks ; but he rr quested that they would not be led to put any trust in the false shopkeepers . He further said he wished tbe people of Hyde to be true one to another , and on the tollowing Wednesday they would be met by Air . O'Connor at Manchester , when they would dome to a . resolution what to do . He
cautioned tbe people to be honest , not to take anything that was not their own , aud not to damage person or property . Candelet followed nearly in the same strain . Hyde was in a very riotous state the same day , and all the week . Labour was completely stopped . A very large number of persons came into Hyde . Thej were walking in a sort of broken procession , with clubs and sticks in their hands . They went towards Stock p ort . There were two departures , ono in the morning , and the other in the evening ; that in the morning was the largest . I was at a meeting on Friday , the 12 th of August , in the Market p ace , Hydo . Several hundred persons wero there . Leach and Candelet were there . There was another man named
Swindells , who got up and called silence . Another , called Wardlaw , then said they were not to ooine there , day by day , talking and speaking , but to come to the determination how to get brrad , and he for one would go to the masters , as he knew they could not get the Charter at present . He demanded askow of hands in favour of going to work , but he was hissed down . Leach next addressed the meeting . He told them that a man named Kayner , who bad addressed them tbe night before , bad been deputed by the shopkeepers of Ashton to come and try to get them to go to their work , but he wished them to be quiet and true to one another , and to
submit to nothing but the People ' s Charter . He theu made several remarks on a meeting which bad taken place at Sockport the day before . He said that he beaded the people up when they went to tho bastile for bread , and blood would have been shed if he had not pr vented it . Th * Mayor of Stockport had showD him a dr&wer which had been broken open and £ 7 stolen , but he ( the speaker ) wished them not to do any thing of the sort . He staid this in a laughing sort of a way . Ho added , that the Mayor of Stockport and hundreds of others had told him " that thrre was plenty in the store rooms and mills , and if they would not give to the people , let them take it . "
Tho Judge—You mean that the mayor of Stockport faid this ? Witness—Leach told me , my Lord , that the mayor of Stockport said so . Examination resumed—Leach said that he did not wish ihe people to do as the mayor recommended , but to do as was done in the lime of king John , when Mogua Charta was obtained in one day . The people went in a body to the King , and it was granted . He advised them to be true one to another and the Charter would soon become the law vf the land . Samuel Sidebottom , an auctioneer in Hyde , propo « fcdto go toiheir masters and ask for the wages of 1840 . He was hooted dawn aud put out of the cart . A man named Booth next spoke , and
he west on in a similar strain . I did not take it down- Tnere were- a number of " navigators " in the meetiDg . Bootn said the " navits" were in great dmreas , and wanted support , bat they muht do as they pleased , a 3 the Mayor of Stock pun said , go to the Btores and help themst lv- s . Leach said he did not advise so . but when a great man like t | he Mayor advised them so , they might please themselves . Some of the excavators swore they would act on this recommendation , and go to the first shop and help themselves . A provision shop was near at hand , and a rush was made towards it , but one of the navigators stopped them . Candelet then began to address the meeting , and 1 was obliged to leave to attend the magistrates . I remember being at the
Sheffield and Manchester railway on the same day . There was a large number of them assembled , who conducted themselves very riotously . A detachment of the rifle company of brigade arrived , and I left them with the magistrates . Ol the 14 th of August , 1 was at a meeting at Mottram Moor , about half-past two in the afternoon . Wild , Carteledge , and another man , whose name I understood to be Glossop , were there . Wild was the chairman . He opened the meeting by recommending tbe people to be true one to another , and the Charter would soon become the law of the land . He said that another aieeling would take place on tho following morning , when delegates should be appointed to go to Manchester
immediately ; and on the following Tuesday morning , at four o ' clock , again in the same place , and in procession they would go to Manchester . On the morning of the 15 th , they again met in the marketplace , Hyde . Moorhouse was the chairman , and John Leach appeared . The latter spoke . I have notes of what he said . He alluded to the large sums of money which it took to support the Qaeen . He asked where that came from but tho pockets of the poor ? He finished by recommending tbe people to keep out until the Charter became the law . On the evening of the same day , at eight o ' clock , another meeting was held , filoorhouse spoke , bin he simply announced a meotingfor the evening of the following day . I went to it , Booth and Moorhouse were
there . The former Bpoke at great length . He held a large sized placard in his hand , which I heard him Ti&d . He began by saying what an expense the Queen was to poor people , what quantities of wine she drank —( laughter)—what large quantities of spirits she draDk , the number of fat oxen she confumed , tho largo number of sheep and lambs she eat , and that she cost the poor people annually £ 160 , 000 . At this time there was a report that the Magistrates were coming to take them , and Moorhouse leaped from the waggon , and said a meeting would take place on the following morning , at six o ' olock . At eight o ' clock a meeting was held in the Market-place , Hyde . Moorhonee acted as chairman , and Candelet , Leach , aud Booth , and a man named
Barlow , a factory operative , were pnsent . An excavator got upon the waggon , and said he wished them to turn out , and then the " navies" would be out in five minutes . A man , who said he was a delegate from Manchester , next spoke . He said he was sent from Manchester to inform the people of Hyde that he was in attendance at the hall as a delegate ; that the delegates assembled were 34 ft for the Charter , and eighteen against it ; for the wages of 1840 , or a 6 cale of wages ; that the middle classes and all other classes of people in Manchester were for the Charter . Caudelet spoke . A proclamation from the Queen had been posted on the walls before that time . ( 4 copy wa « produced , and put in . It was dated August 13 , 184 * 2 , and offered a reward of £ 50 for the apprehension and conviction of the rioters . ) Candelet said he did not care a straw for the
proclamation , as their meetings were legal , and held in the day time , to conduct the interests of the poor ; that special constables and soldiers would be no use ; that bayonets in eight days time , will be of no use ; delegates were going about in the agricultural districts , warning and turning the labourers out , —all except : the millers and reapers of grain ; but in fact they were all nearlyx out ; then where would the military and special constables be 1 But as I am to be in Manchester at ten o ' olock this morning , I must conclude by telling you that when in the Hall last night , at six o ' clock , Mr . Beswick , superintendent of police , entered , and told the people that he was sent by the Magistrates , to inform the people there assembled that they were not allowed to hold their meetings any longer while tiio tu . ! ' ? - » ko iu thai disturbed state . Three magistrates entered , and gave the people ten minutes

time to disperse , but in five minutes ( said Leach and Candelet ) they were ail gone . The battle was part won , and let us be true to one another , and never submit to go to work until we get all points of the Charter . John Leach next spoke , lie said he was appointed one of the delegates to { the great National Conference , and at ten o ' clock he had to meet M'Douall , for he had sent him word that he longed to see him . I will collar him and bring him here with me this evening , and ia eight day ' s time there will be a fixed wage by Act of Parliament , and the Charter will become the law of the land . He made some observations about the shopkeepers , saying that they were a hypocritical sot , and so on . I attended another meeting at half-past
seven in the evening of the 18 ih , in the Marketplace , Hyde . Leach was present . He commenced Tailing against the shopkeepers and the middle classes . Moorhouse , who was in the chair , Eaid that there was a delegate from Glossop , and Leach began to tell the meeting how much money had been expended by the Spinners' Union , not one penny of which had been spent for tho Charter , He went on to say—does not my friend from Glossop tell you that there are many able-bodied men from Glossop-Dale , well armed with their bludgeons , and who are not frightened to use them . Where will the speoiuls
and the red-ooated gentry be then ? They will be glad to give in , and we will have them in large numbers to-morrow , to meet and go to Ashton . He called upon the people to be united , and so long as he lived , he would agitate , for the aristocracy of thecountry was bad , and , without alteration , would soon be worse . During the time I have been speakiD £ of , the mills at Hy de were out of work . By Mr . Atherton—I am not aware that there was any distress at that time in Hyde and the neighbourhood . I do not know that the wages were low at that time . I know nothing about the matter either oue way or another .
By Mr . Pollock—I remember seeing a placard poBted at Hyde , from the Executive Committee of the Chartists to tbe People . I think it would be from the 14 th to the 19 th of August . A gnat many people read them . 1 can ' t say how many were posted—perhaps two or three . By Mr . Dundas—I will not swear that more than one of them was posted . I have read the opening and concluding passages of the one now produced , arid to the best of my belief it is a copy . 1 will not Bwear that it is the same ; it might be wropg a word or two , or ten lines , or more . It is similar to the one I paw posted , and I believe it is the same . By Mr . Atherton—I laid the notes of the particular transactions on which I have been speaking before the magistrates every day , and gave such explanations as might bo required .
By Mr . O'Connor—I prefer swearing to the n otes in the book . They are original , and not a transcript . I would not swear from memory , without the book to refresh me . John Leach and Candelet were not brought before the magistrates : they absconded . Moorhouse was brought up . I appeared against him . I believe it was on Friday , the 26 ch of Ausust . The entries in my book bring down the transactions to the 20 th of August . I did not produce tbe book , when I appeared before the magistrates . I could explain the reason why I did not show the book . Judffe—Explain it .
Witness—j found it necessary to convey the prisoners immediately away fmni Hyde to Stockport , in consequence of the inefficiency of the protective force , and the Magistrates committed them from there . I gave evidence from memory . I was examined before the committal of the parties . It is my duty to collect every information for the Magistrates , within my division , but I did not hear any particular expressions of distress existing . I am aware that the shopkeepers had meetiugs , and agreed to support th" operatives . The town of Hyde was in a state of areat tumult for more than a week , but after Leach left , we had no further disturbances . I have not made any entry in the book as to the day on which I paw the placird from the Executive
Committee . The reason was , that when I pulled tho placard fr » m the wall , I delivered it to the Magistrates , and placed my name behind it . I thought it would have been here , and then I could have sworn to the hand-writing , but it is not here . I t was on the 17 th of . August on which Leach said he vraa going as a delegate to Manchester . I have stated that it was on the 18 th when he returned- At the latter meeting , I don ' t recolleot that ho said any thing about the Charter . I tniuht have made a little interlineation in the book about the Charter , when brought before the magistrates , but not when before the Judge . The interlineation pointed out was made on the Monday morning , when I went before the magistrates . I have not been examined since the Special Commission , at Chester . The book has not been out of my possession since , except that I gave it to a constable , wrapped in paper , to bring from the inn , at Lanoaster , to the
i astle . I gave tbe same evidence at Chester as I am giving now . I remember perfectly that Leach spoke in a laughing manner , when he was referring to what had been said by the Mayor of Stockport , I should think that the counsel for tbe prosecution must have asked me respecting Leach ' s manner , from having read my depositions . I admit I may have mado alight alterations in the book , 'the interlineations here apply for nothing—( laugHter ) . I might have written in the book as I should have written in any other book , but not with tho intention of giving evidence . Leach was an inhabitant of Hyde ; and I paid more attention to his speeches than those of any Other party , because I knew him better than any of tbe others . I knew that Leach was a staunch advocate of the Charter , and a strenuous opponent of the Anti-Corn Law League . Mr . O'Connor—Then you have confined all the alterations you have made in the book to the Charter ?
The Attorney General— Dnn't let it be said that we have made wholesale alterations . I observe in one place there is the word " not" omitted . Mr . Dandas—There are Beveral other alterations and not of a very trifling nature . By George Johnson , defendant—I am not aware that many distraints have been made upon the inhabitants of Hyde , during the last eighteen months , or what has been the increase in the number of paupers there . The Poor Law Guardians meet at S'ockport , and not at Hyde , and therefore , I know nothing about the facts . Stockport is out of my division . By William Pilling , defendant—I don ' t know that one factory labourer in Hyde , is now doing the work of three men . I don't know what you mean by the " coupling of jennies . " tor I never was in a factory more than three times in my life .
Defendant— Tnen you don ' t know what you ought to know—( Laughter . ) Mr . Duudas called the attention of the Court to the alterations which appeared in the book of the witness , and especially to one part of it where in speaking of one of the epee » , hea made by Leach , tho words " they should do as was done in the time of King John , the people went to the King in a large body , and demanded ' Magna Charta , ' and it waa granted ; and he ( Leach ) would recommend the people to keep out of work , and the Charter would soon become the law of the land , " were added after the general body of the report had been written .
The Attorney- General objeoted to the course of proceedings on the ground that his Learned Friends who appeared for some of the defendants , were entering upon a cross-examination of that part of the book which had not been given in evidence . If they would consent to put the book before the Jury , as evidence , he should not object to the examination . Mr- Dundas did not see that he was bound to offer the book in evidence . The Judge said that Mr . Dundas had a right to shew , if he could , the insertion of any fraudulent matter in the book , because that would go far to impugn the general accuracy oi the whole . It was then agreed that the book should be put in as evidence , and Mr . Dundas proceeded with his cross-examination .
The witness , on being called upon to explain the reasjn of the addition to Leach's speech , said that he made a practice of examining all the speeches previous to submitting them to the Magistrates ; and he distinctly remembered that on looking at ihe one made by Leach , he made the addition pointed out . The Judge—When you did make any additions , werothfy , to the best of your belief , in swict conformity with they truth ? Witaoss—They were , my Lord . Mr . O'Connor—I find , on further looking at this book , that from the commencement of the period at which the witness as Special High Constable of Hyde , began to make his reports to the Magistrates , to the end of the transactions , of which he has been speaking , not a single interlination occurred ; but since then , they were numerous . The Judge—But that is merely an observation .
Mr . O'Connor—It would go far , my Lord , to prove that the entries in the book have been taken from notes , which are not before the Court . The Attorney General here asked hia Lordship whether ho intended to take any | further witnesses to-day % His Lordship replied that he would sit till seven o ' olock . A conversation ensued between the Attorney-General and Mr . O'Connor , the result of which was that Sir Frederick stated to Mr . Baron Rolfe , that he had been requested on the part of the defendants to ask that tbe Court might then adjourn . His Lordship hesitated , but on being informed that the application was merely with reference to suiting the convenience of thefirst day , he consented to the adjournment , intimating that he should sit late the following day . Toe Cour t rose precisely at six o ' clock . ( Continued in our first page .

HULL—Sunday last , being the last Sabbath that the Rev . Mr .

in tbe Chapel , ) Church side . About 120 persons sat down ; the tea was plain and comfortable ; aud the utmost harmony and good feeling reigned throughout the evening . After the tea , Mr . Hill gave a farewell , address , which [ was listened to with the closest attention and the aeepeat interest . The following resolution moved by Mr Birker . seconded by Mr .

" On
Monday evening Mr . West delivered an eloquent and instructive lecture in the Freemasons' Lodge ; My ton Gate , on Banking aud tbe Funding System . He challenged to discussion but no one ventured to meet him . Mr . Arran , who was in tbe chair , then made an impressive appeal to the audience , on the present suffering condition of the community , and the certain increase ef this suffering , in the future , to an extent which neither tongue can express nor mind can conceive ; inferring therefrom the j indispensible necessity of every one throwing off all lethargy , and of all giving real proof of their Chartism' by not contenting themselves with attending lectures , public meetings , cheerings , and holding-up of bands , but by becoming aciive and zealous members of the' National Charter Association ; and that unless tht-y wnuld do this it was useless to expect tbe Charter . Mr West , not having met with any opponent on the subject of his lecture , then challenged to discussion on any tuestion connected with the Movement , and especially on the question of Repeal—but it was no go .

HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tuesday Feb . 28 . The Earl of . Abebdees , id answer to a question from Lord Brougham respecting tbe instructions apon TJhich our cruisers acted in their endeavours to sappje ? s the slave trade upon the A'ricran coast , took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded to express his convic ion xha ; explanation only was necessary to remove the jealousy wiih whicn , in spite of the anxiety oi Franre to put aoi end to ihe slave trade , our ^ xenions were still regard ed in that conntry . The iusiracuons whieh had been issued during ihe la ? t twenty years were so iaconsisttnl that \ he re-poxj-ibilivy was freqaently thrown npon
the navaJ oficej s f-ugaged in this service tif deciding npon mosi intricate and important questions of international law , and they had , as was to be expected , in some C 3 ses fallen into serious errors . The Government felt strongly the necessity of furnishing officers with clear and unequivocal instructions upon as many points of-difficulty &s could be anticipated , and s new and explicit code , founded upon es sing treaties snd the law of nations , had been accoroiEgiy prepared ; and as England had nothing to conreal—had none "bnt her . ostensible objects to a tain—these instructions shonld be made public , ard wmld , he trusted , disabnse the candid portion of tho French public of the unfounded prejudice they now euu-nained . —Adjourned .
