      MR . OWEN AT BRADFOBD . On Monday evening last , according to previous ^ aanvoucemeut , Mr . Owen delivered the imrt of » course of three Lectures , in the 033 Fellows' Hall . The audience was large and consisted p rincipally of Ibe working class , with a fair sprinHmg : of the ^ -rrfiAiile and some of the Tipper classes . The Lecture ' ¦ was delivered in about fifty minutes . The most pro-^ fonnd . attention ¦ was given by the andience to the whole of the Lecture , and during the discussion -winch succeeded and ¦ which , occupied more than an ironr the best spirit was manifested . Nothing , indeed , " can "be more conchudYe of fee advanced spirit - * fthe age than the manner in which the most as"toondme propositions were received and discussed

      • by a large miscellaneous assemblage . Mr . Owes began with , observing that the . iask on "which he was shoot to enter was of the most important description . He , had to explain to them in * hree short Lectures that which , the whole world had been engaged for thousands of years in finding ont , and hadyet to learn , ' namely , the true nature of " man and of society . He would first show them what was the state of society in these countries . Mr . Owes then exhibited a number of cubes the largest of which expressed the . whqle nnmber of the ^ population of the British Islands . This population was divided into eight classes , the respective ^ proportions of which to the whole nnmber were similarly . represented . These together formed : the social

      pyjramid , the working classes being at the bottom and the Sovereign and the other members of the Royal Family , with the House of Lords forming the apex . The first division , consisting of the working classes , were the largest in number . This class produced all the wealth possessed by society , and supported all ihe other classes . The third in point of size was -the inferior class of distributors and comprised all "the small shopkeepers . The third class , which was the second in point of size , consisted of what were denominated the thieves , rogues , and vagabonds , these the working classes had to support downward . The workings of thepresent system of society were strongly marked by tne fact of this being so large a class . The fourth division was a numerons class ; it was composed of bankers , merchants , and others - of the highest order of distributors . The fifth and

      Hext numerous class included , besides the dignified clergy nnder the rank of bishops , all tlie most fortunate of the last mentioned class , the Rothschilds , and the Barings , the highest order of physicians and merchants . The last class but one included all -the lower nobility , namely , the Baronets and the Conntry Gentlemen . The class "which was the smallest in nnmber , and which before the passing of the Reform BDl ^ had the power to mnlf e arran gements which wonid have effectually prevented all the ¦ dmsioa and misery , and poverty , and even the fears " of poTertv winch now existed among us , was composed oTthe Royal Family and the Lords Spiritual and Temporal . " There w " as another class -which he had , omitted to mention which represented the plundering and murdering power' of society , and that was the army and navr .

      It was utterly impossible to create a classification of society more injurious to every individual composing it than this one . The interest of every one c £ -these-cfasses-was opposed to the interests of all the other classes and every individual composing Them , without a single exception , was injured to an extent of -which it . was scarcely possible to conceive . All this was the result of fundamental error . ! Men had been taught that they had the power within themselves of willing to believe or not believe as they thought proper , and that snch -will was an

      ¦ or iginal iaculty of the mind . This was opposed to all known facts , and must therefore be destroyed , and the great truth that man was everywhere * the ¦ creature of the circumstances which surround him , united with his organization , from birth to death , be substituted as the basis of society . Without a knowledge of this feet , it was as impossible for fhem to have a correct knowledge of the true nature of man and of society as it would have been that ' iliey could have a correct knowledge of astronomy ¦ without the discovery made by Galileo , that the earth moved round the sun , and not the » ua round the earth .

      Society could never be composed of more than ibur simple divisions , namely , producers , distributors , formers of character , and governers . 2 s ow arrangements would be made in the New Moral World , upon which they were about to enter , for doing all this in the best possible manner , and to the equal and greatest advantage of every individual . Such were the benefits that would result from a ample and natural classification of society that with one per cent , of the productive energies now employed , a far greater amount of . wealth wonid be produced ; with one per cent , of tlie present cost of distribution that wealth would be equitably distr ibuted ; with , one thousandth part of the wealth now expended in the formation of character , a far

      superior character to any which had ever yet existed would be formed for every individual without chance of failure in a single instance , whilst with one millionth part of the wealth now squandered by the Government that business would * be carried on in a more simple " and more comprehensive manner , and the" ¦ highest state of security and well beingseenred to every individual The present classification of society would , there-Sire , not exist in the new moral world ; but it was not intended that any one of thes ^ classes should be injured during the progress of the change—indeed a far better condition wonid be prepared for each than any now enjoyed by those the furthest removed from want and pain . yo " shopkeepers , merchants . bankers

      ; clergy , lawyers , or medical men , would then be required- No one would then be a mere anything , but to every one would be given the fall character of man or woman . This great change could not now be deferred ; a mighty revolution , the full extent of the consequences of which no man could conceive . -o £ was inevitable . He had but recently returned from a sojourn of some months upon tlie Continent of Europe , and be would tell them that he saw more wretchedness in three days after his return to London , than he had seen during the more months which he . had been npon the Continent . And -w"hy had he ¦ v isited the most despotic Governments r To learn whether they were prepared to oppose a great truth , ( alluding to the " new fundamental principle of

      society ) which was supported by all known facts , and his object , he was glad to say , had been fully obtained . He had developed Ms views' to thtan to the fullest extend—more folly than he had as yet declared them to ihepnblic here . When he had " described to Prince IMetternich . the Austrian Prime iKnister , who was the sonl of Enropeanpolicy , the nature and ¦ extent of tlie evils which afflicted the world , the Prince bad astonished "hhn by expressing his assent to aiS hs had said . U pon his inquiring' tha means of resting these evils , and learning from Mr . Owen th » he had come prepared to give the fullest proofs -of xle practicability of such ^ removal , he eagerly requested to be put in possession of them : and his

      secretaries were employed for three weeks making Extracts from bis ( Mr . 0 / s ) documents . Mr . O . then stated it to be his intention shortly to publish a -detailed account of his proceedings whilst on the Continent , and concluded by inviting , the audience to a discussion of the subjects ox the lecture . Several individuals then advanced various objections to Mr . Owen's views , trr put questions to elicit further information , to all of -which Mr . O . replied with that temper and mildness for which ne is so remarkable ; while on the other hand , the opposite nature of the objections and questions , and the manner in which they were put , were alike creditable to the parties putting them . The meeting broke up shortly after ten o ' clock .

      THE FESTIVAL . On the following evening , ( Tuesday ) a Festival took place in the same splendid room , which affords , from the numbers attending it , notwithstanding the very -unfavourable state of the weather , not . only fi-oin the town itself , and the immediate neighbour i . ood , l > nt from places at a considerable distance , a pretty accurate criterion of judging of the extenrto which the Socialists have succeeded in interesting the public in their proceedings . The room was neatly ornamented with evergreens and artificial flower * , and a tolerably efficient orchestra was in attendance . Upwards of 500 tickets had been issued , but the great influx of persons from distant places swelled the number in the room during the evening , to at least

      - 650 persons . The Festival had been got up by , and the whole arrangements were , Tinder the conduct of Working yiPT < unaided by the various means and appliances possessed by those who" have hitherto been die only originators and conductors of Trhatever public festivities that class of society have yet been admitted to . Great , good order , and decorum was manifested throughout the evening . Mr . J . Docthwjmte presided over the festivities . . Immediately after tea , the whole assembly joined in singing a social hymn , at the conclusion of which , Mr . Owes briefly addressed the gnests to the following effect : —He was . glad to see them , endeavouring 4 » T > e happy . They ought to have frequent opportunities of seeing and conversing with each other , and of learning the true means and . end of . life ! Nothing conld give them this knowled ge but . the ¦ Social System ,. nor conld they by any other means ¦ attain perfect happiness . He advised them ,

      tlwwfcre , to become members of the Association , a ^ branch of which existed in the town . After some - <> iher remarks of this nature , Mr . Owen observed That he had long been , of opinion that from the Tuttore of its soil , fixe character of its inhabitants , it « position , and other consideratioHs , that Yorkshire was lie moBt eligible spot for the establishment of » first Community . It seemed now most likelythat hi thecourse of the preBentyear , some attempt of that kmd wouia be made . They had amoDe them sufficient means for the establishment of many immunities in the immediate neighbondiood j and ' ^^^ dthe bme was dose at hand when many -soeMstabhsfcments -would besjmsad over the face gsg&ffi&J&& 2 e& ^ fefe . ta ieb ^ on * Mr .

      Admirably avoiding all solemn declamation and leavy reasoning , he descanted , in a humorous and augh ^ r-proyoking : 8 tr . le ,. pn jthe true philosophy of life . He commenced by observing , that short account * made long Mends , andhe believed that upon this occasion short speeches would be equally efficacious for that purpose . The venerable founder of the social system had . jnst told them that the best mode of promoting their individual happiness was to promote the happiness of all around them . This advice he begged to repeat . It had been too much their practice to dwell on the bad points of each other * character . They had been constantly taught to regard every one as arogue , until they wereproved honest : he would advise them to reverse this

      practice , and to consider every one honest until they found him dishonest , and then endeavour to make him honest again as quickly as possible . The result of this practice would be overflpwingharmony . They would gain a great deal more by kindness than they could possibly gain by a contrary course . The Tankers , a sect in America , returned all native injuries by acts of benevolence to the offenders , and it was the testimony of one of these Tunkers given to Miss Martineau that they received less wrong from others than did the rest of mankind . Now , he would advise them to adopt the Turiker principle . They had been taught to look forward to a heaven a long way off for a requital of the sufferings and privations which they endured . He did not like

      those long accounts , and thought that their bills of happiness ought to be paid at sight . Such , in fact , might be the case , if they would but adopt the social system . Then , instead of having a festival only once in six months a few hours long , they would have 365 every year . The social system would do much for the men , but it would do much more for the women , wlio were now the slaves and drudges of society . There would be an utter absence of those discomforts and annoyances which necessarily belong to a system of individual family arrangements . There would then be no inducements to marriages opposed to the affections . Love was now frequently sacrificed to prudential considerations ; and Jack with 24 s . a-week was preferred to Tom

      with 12 , not because Jack was liked better than Tom , but because poverty was so unpleasant a house mate , and to avoid the trouble of having , on Saturday nights , to make the pennies run twopenny errands . He understood that the temperance folks had met that evening for the purposeofputting down all intemperance , and that a Bishop wag among them . Sow he would tell them how the socialists intended to put down intemperance ; they proposed to meet together frequently , as they were doing that evening , to enjoy the pleasure of talking and laughing , and dancing with each other , and the music and laughing and dancing and chattering

      would , be was sure , quite drive all " thoughts of drunkenness out of their heads . Mr . F ., during his speech , of which the above is but a meagre onth ' , related many humorous anecdotes , and illustrated his views in the mostpleasantmanner . He concluded by inviting them to resume the evening ' s festivities , and to continue the practice of kindness to each other , which only could produce them happiness . The amusements were then recommenced . The evening thus agreeably varied with speech , and dance , and song , passed swiftly on , and by twelve o ' clock tbe _ music was hushed , the light tripping o { the dancer ' s feet had ceased , and soon after thelast of the well-pleased guests had left tlie ball .

      OPEXES'G OF THE BRADFORD TEMPERANCE HALL , AT BRADFORD . : — m i — = —t- ' A most splendid Hall has been erected in Bradford , by the members ef tlie Temperance Society , for the purpose of holding their frequentlyrecurring public meetings , tea-parties , &c . The situation of the Hall is a few yards from the Leeds Road , immediately opposite to Eastbroot Chapel . The external appearance is extremely neat and substantial-looking—the interior ueat likewise , but combining with , it elegance and comniodiousnes .- - . Leaving out the question the objec-t for -which it has been built , the Temperance Hall is no mean accession to the ornamental and useful buildings in that town .

      The Hsll was publicly opened , and consecrated to its express object , on Tuesday last , with great eclat , tne Bishop of Ripon giving the sanction of his name and influence to the cerentony . Five public services in connexion with this event have been holden duriug the past week . At the ' Public Tea Parry' on Tuesday evening , nearly a thousand persons assembled to partake of ' the cup that cheers and not inebriates , ' and to listen to the eloquent appeals of many well-known advocates of Temperance . The Hall is expressly adapted for occasions such as this . Tables aud forms sufficient to cover the area are provided , and the gallery is so arranged

      , that even there every person may have his cup and saucers , bread and butter , &c . placed before him . The size of the Hall is 16 yards by 12 , exclusive of the Committee Room S yards by " 6 , which is thrown open to the body by folding doors , on ' state occasions , ' and of course such was . the case on Tuesday . On that evening nine tables went across the floor , and oBe the whole length ; four tables stood in the Committee Room . These tables were computed to hold more than 500 persons , and as they were all fullj we presume that number at least . was there . The Gallery will accommodate 400 , and that likewise was full .

      When the company had assembled , the appearance of the Hall was extremely brilliant . Festoons of evergreens and artificial flowers were carried all round the room immediately beneath the cornice of tbe ceiling—the pillars were likewise decorated , and the windows boarded , in tbe same tasteful manner . The tbair , placed on tne permanent platform , was a handsome crimson one , immediately over it was" a canopy of evergreens and flowers , and on the sill of the window above , artificial orange trees bearin " - fruit . On each side of this window the arms of the

      bociety were printed on canvass boards , aud surrounded by the following inscription—* ' Temperance " Societies are designed by the blessing of . God to " prevent temperate persons from the dunger of in" temperance—to reclaim drunkards , aud " put down " drankeness . The means which they u ? e are , " memberspledging to abstain from all intoxicating drmkspersuading others to follow their

      ^ — example , ' ' and by holding public meetings / ' But by far the most delightful part of tbe scene was the multitude of happy and intelligent faces assembled around the amply loaded boards—a sight to make tne heart of the philanthropist lea p for joy , and ( if any such were there ) to cause the misanthrope to abhor his selfishness and to re-kindle tbe social charities within his bosom . Trays were provided and presided over by tbe following ladies and gentlemen : —

      Mrs . Beaumont and 3 Irs . Monran on the platform . Mr . Bull , Mr . " Cole , Miss Caton , Miss Milthorp , Mrs . W . MiUigan , jun ., Miss Conies Mrs . Taylor , Mrs . Bailies , Mrs .. T .

Mr . Taylor seconded the Resolution . Mr . BEAtMOMT then read the Report . The Rev . Mr . Rkai > head , Rector of Calverley , then moved the second Resolution . He expressed his entire concurrence in the Report that had been read , and his satisfaction that the Bishop of the diocese

      had , as it were , by his good wishes and his prayers , consecrated that Hall to the promotion of God ' s honour and the welfare of the human race . He then pointed out the various ways in which intemperance had bean the corse of society ; it was so , whether viewed a » a domestic or social , a ci \ -il or religious evil ; whether they considered its effects on the teraporal ,-spiritual , oreternal interests of man . The Rev . Mr . Barber seconded the resolution in a neat address , interspersed with several interesting and striking anecdotes , in which he pointed out the religious bearing of the Temperance Society ; he considered it a most important handmaid of religion .

      Eloquent speeches were afterwards made by T . X . Greenbank , Esq ., Rev . T . Dury , Rev . J . Cheadle , and the Rev . J . Sherman , and others . A collection at the doors was then announced by Mr . Cheadle , during which a great outcry was made for Mr . Grubb . That gentleman at length appeared , and excused himself from speaking , promising to give foil measure on Thursday evening . The Rev . Mr . Wood then announced his determination to sign the pledge , which was received with loud acclamation . The Rev . Mr . Bull , proposed , and the Rev . J . Bardsley seconded , a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which was briefly acknowledged . The meeting then broke up .

      Owing to the very bad weather on "Wednesday , which absolutely precluded many from leaving their houses , tbe attendance at tbe public meeting in the afternoon was rather thin . The chair '" was ably filled by G . B . Browne , Esq ., of ¦ Ha lifax , - wjio ad ^ dressed the meetiug , and was followed by Mr . Lister , the poet , from Malton , the Rev . J . Sherman , Mr . Grubb , agent of the British Temperance Association , and J . Fothergill , Esq ., of'Darlington . Our space will not admit of any report of these speeches . In the evening an eloquent and impressive sermon was preached in Hortou Lane Chapel , by the Rev . J . Sherman , from the parable on the good Samaritan : at the close a collection was made , the produce of which we have not heard . The sale of tickets for tea on Monday night added £ 80 to the exchequer of the building committee .:

It appeared that in October laxt , an engagement had been entered into between these pcirties , to the effect that Cuttler should serve Bingley and Co . as foreman of that establishment . The agreement was said to have been drawn " . ' up . ' on : the Sunday , and signed on the same day . . The bargain was that Cuttler should serve . the Company for 80 s . pet week for the first fortnight , after which he Was . to be paid

      by thp piece . The conditions of the agreement not being satisfactorily complied with , some unpleasant ness arose , and Cutler left their service . He had been absent some months , when he prevailed upon one of their apprentices also to leave them . This gave rise to the prosecution . . Cuttler ; had been working for some person at Bradford , and he . stated that his reason for quitting the service of Bingiey and Co . was , that they only paid him 30 s , ; per week , whereas he could earn more than £ 3 . The case was dismissed , in consequence of the patty not prosecuting earlier , as that implied thmr consent to Cuttler ' -s' leaving them . The case of the apprentice was > alsp . dismissed , in consequence of their not having the indenture drawn up upon a stamp .
