      Attempted Murder Bt A Jealous Htjsbam). ...

      ATTEMPTED MURDER BT A JEALOUS HTJSBAM ) . Laxcashike . —Early on Monday morning a most deliberate attempt to commit murder was made in the borough of Salford , by a young married man named John Burton 5 tbe motive assigned ibr tbe atrocious act , which sprung from jealousy , being a -wish to inflict summary vengeance on the seducer of his wife . Burton is the keeper of a small confectioner ' s shop on the Salford side of "Victoria-bridge , and has been married between three and four years , his wife being about his own age ( 30 years ) . They have only one child , a little gu-lncafly three years of age . For some considerable time past Burton and his wife have been on terms of intimacy and friendshi p with a young man named Giles Hardman , a weaver , who resides in Booth-street , Chapel-street , Salford , who is a

      Tvidower . latterly rumours have reached the ears of Burton that his wife and Hardman were too firiendl v , " xo -which , however , be ibr a long tune appears io have refused credence—no doubt , thinking such reports arose from the fact whicli he seems to have known—namely , that Hardman and she were sweethearts before their respective marriages . He was visited at bisliouse in Cabel-streei , Gravellane , on Friday evening week , by a male acquaintance of his , named Connor , who told Lira lie could furnish Mm with damning proofs of his wife ' s guilt , as he ( Connor ) had that night tracked her to a place ¦ where sbe bad an assignation with . Hardman , and -where he -witnessed sufficient to confirm tlie rumours in existence . The effect of this intelligence Tinon the mind of the wretched husband was most

      larrowing , and appears to have filled him with the diabolical intention of killing his wife ' s seducer , for on the day following ( Saturday ) he purchased a pistol , balls , and powder , for the purpose of blowing out the man s brains . Early on Monday morning lie went to Hardman ' s bouse , somewhere about ialf-past sis o ' clock , and knocking at the door asked the man ' s mother if her son Giles was in . " Yes , " she replied , " he is up stairs in bed ; " on ¦ which be went up stairs to sec him , saluting his intended victim as he entered tlie uedroom , uy calling out his name . Bardman on hearing his voice , exclaimed , "Holloa , Jack , is that thee ? " to which Burton replied by stepping forward into the room , elosinff the door carefully after him . He then pulled off his iacket , and took from the pocket tho pistol

      ¦ which he had bought on Saturday , and presenting it directly at Hardman ' s head pulled the trigger . Providentially the priming flashed off in tbe pan , and the murderous weapon missed fire , affording time to Hardman to spring on his assailant , and to wrest it out of his hand . The struggle was a short one , as Burton made scarcely any resistance , hut -vieldin ^ up his weapon with a melancholy sigli , said , ' 'JanAorry it missed . , hut I have got another will do the job I intended . " After Hardman had obtained the pistol he " said , " Now , Jack , I will forgive tbee , and say nothing about it , if thou will promise never to do sucli a thing again ; " hut- the only reply he could elicit from Burton was a determined threat to take his life , sooner or later . Finding him so bent on murder , Hardman raised an outcry for a policeman , when police constable Hill was soon fetched to the place , and was informed of the attempt Burton had made , on which he took him

      into custody . The unhappy man aajain expressed ids regret that the pistol had missed five , desiring the constable io take him away at once , and said he ivas quite prepared for the worst . He told the officer he would find a further supply of powder and halls in a drawer , inside his shop . After ixkms bim io the Town Hall , Mr . Seal , the officer , proceeded to the shop of the prisoner , for the purpose of searching for the powder and ball mentioned , hut on his ' arrival he found that the shop Trad been opened by the prisoner ' s brother-in-law , " -who said there were no such articles in tlie place . ¦ Disbelieving Anderson ( the urother-in-law ) , the officer searched him , and found the powder and bullets in his pockets ; and ascertaining that he had heard of Burton ' s arrest , and had hastened to the = shop and broke in the door for the purpose of removing the articles , the officer took him into cus-± odv as an accessory before the fact .

      • On Tuesday morning the two prisoners were -Drought up for examination before the mayor of Salford ( Mr . E . B . Xangwortby , ) and afterthe facts of the attempt had been stated , Burton was remanded for further examination .

      Tivebiox . —Much excitement prevailed in this town , on Friday week , from the assembling in the street of a large number of men , agriculturists and Dianufacturers , who were not able to obtain employment , They marched to the union house , Tvhere the guardians were sitting , and their cases -were severally heard , which occupied some time . IThe result was that the young men were taken into the house , and the rest granted out-door relief . The poor fellows arc loud in their

      denunciations of free trade , the effect of which has so grievously disappointed them . " Mr . Frank Half , we understand , is a very forward advocate for " stonecracking " for the poor unemployed . "What , we would ask , has . become of Mr . Hall ' s only ' son ? Is lie not—althoughthis liberal , free-trading magistrate possesses an income of more than four times the amount of Ms expenditure — snugl y quartered upon the public in the Foreign Office ? Who per-Setrated this job ? Was it the liberal , free-trading ead of the Foreign Office , I / vrd Palmerston?—Western Imsdnarv .

      . A Wise Fool . —When the Earl of Bradford was brought beforo Lord Loughborough , to be examined upon application for a statute of lunacy against hua , the chancellor asked him , " How many legs has a sheep ? " " Does your lordship mean , " answered Bradford , " a live sheep , er a dead one V * ' Is it not the same thing ? " said the chancellor . "JTo , my lord , " said LordBradford , "there is much difference ; a live sheep has four , a dead one hut two-4 hcre are hut two legs ofnrattoii , the otfiera arc shottideis . "

      IRELAM > . Brother Pjroletakiajts , - Blacker and blacker grows the picture of Ireland smisery . You may read in this week ' s Northern Star" of twelve deaths by starvation at one place in two days only . You may read that in the Queen ' s Count y manv of the people , utterly destitute of even ' the coarsest food , are now devouring sea-weed as a last resource . You may read Archbishop M'Hale ' s declaration that entire villages in the west of Ireland are utterly desolate , and

      present a spectacle than which nothing more appalling could be produced by the ravages of an invading army , and you may read , that those of the peasantry who are not completely broken-hearted , and sunk into tlie apathy of despair , are joining secret societies , doubtless with the view of inflicting some terrible vengeance upon those whom they regard as the authors of their misery . I fear , however , that if a popular outbreak takes place , the only result will be death by the bullet instead of by hunger , to those whom despair will drive to an unequal , hopeless struggle .

      The "Freeman ' s Journal" states , that in one part of the country miles may be travelled and scarcely a human being can be seen , except some tottering starveling endeavouring to make his way to the relieving officer ! In many places , the poor are living on nettles , which they endeavour to boil and eat ; and in other p laces they drain the streams ofw ^ atercresses to appease the ravages of hunger . These reports appear day by day in the Dublin papers , and , more or less , are transferred to the London papers , yet our rulers stand idl y by , apparently neither caring nor feeling for the wretched sufferers . Indeed , it is a question whether their conduct is not the result of a

      fiendish , but well calculated policy , for getting rid of the " surplus population" of that miserable country . But , if the legal protectors of the Irish people—the administrators of our " glorious institutions" —are doing nothing , the eternal enemies of our Irish brethren are , at least , doing something—hastening the progress of human destruction , by their pitiless evictions of the unhappy peasantry , whose very existence seems to be a crime in the eyes of their ruffianly landlords .

      The " Freeman s Journal" states that in "the district of Duharrow , on nearl y all the properties in that barony , there is scarcel y a sign of a human habitation , except in the dilapidated ruins of what , at no distant day , were happy homes . The Deny Castle and the Coumbeg , and several other properties , are almost altogether depopulated . Between Nenagh and Cloughjordau—a distance of about six miles—nearl y all the houses have been tumbled down , and that line of road presents an equally g loomy and terrible aspect . Between Cloughjordau and Borrisokane , thelievl

      ifr . Trexch ejected fort y families , comprising about two hundred and fifty souls , from the property called Forty Acres ; the houses are removed—a fence wall has been built around the property by the stones that were taken from those houses ! A Mr . Ely has ejected and tumbled down the houses of a great number of persons also in the same district ; but the ruins of the houses are standing , and seem as if they were the debris left afterthe cannonading of some hostile army . Between Bomsokane aud Kcnagh the work of destruction has been also progressing-to some extent . It sickens the

      heart when one looks upon the country—desolate as if the scythe of death mowed down the population . In Clare the same work has been going on with similar effects ; but to see the fairest and most beautiful portion of Tipperary thus devastated , no' one could imagine would be the case . The people , for the greater part , are sinking into the grave without a niurniur , or going into thePoorHouseto die as certainly . Inthe fields , on the rising grounds , by the road side , everywhere the eye turns , cabins in ruins and blackening walls of what once was a human dweUing are to be seen . "

      -rr 1 •„ i !_ . - _ .--l . J _ 11 C- __ JJ it ... You may read in this week's " Star" the appalling details of one of the landlord razzias . Some hundred and fifty families , comprising about six hundred individuals , were , a few days ago , driven from house and home by the mynnidons ofa heartless landlord , and the minions of the law—the lino , which should be the protector of the weak and the oppressed , but which , in Ireland , is the engine by which the oppressor is enabled to safely and " legally " perpetrate his crimes and cruelties .

      Think of law-armed ruffians invading a peaceful village , and dragging the sick from their beds , and tho young and old from their firesides ; giving the victims of then- barbarity scarcely time to remove their household goods before they consigned their doomed cottages to destruction . Think of the half-clad , more than half-starved , fever and cholera-stricken victims , being left shelterless , with scarcely -a pallet of straw upon which each might lie down and die . Think of the despair oi the helpless women , and the unbearable misery of the men , venting then wretchedness in impotent maledictions , or unheeded prayers ; " Por Heaven looked on and would not take

      their part ; and when you have reflected on these horrors , say whether these words are not a mere waste of ink and paper ; whether they express sympathy for the victims , or denunciation of the murderers ? Deeds , not words—deeds of stern pitiless justice upon the assassins of the poor , should be the commentary on these crimes of the few , and wrongs of the many . The landlords , by whose orders such infernal doings , as are described above , are perpetrated , I denounce as being guilty of robbery and spoliation ; a thousand-fold more worthy of the gallows , than ever Avere the worst celebrities of the " Newgale Calendar . " But they are more than robbers , they are murderers . There is never an instance , but that in these

      evictions some of the suflerers , few or many , die in consequence of the hardships to which they are subjected , by being deprived of shelter , & c . If any of the Toonievara victims perish , eternal justice will declare them to have been murdered . The law will not say so , but the law and justice axe the antipodes to each other in Ireland ; were it otherwise , the robbers and assassins of the Irish people would meet the exemplary punishment their crimes so loudly call for ; and were Government worthy ofthename , it would at once send forth a commission to bring the Irish landlords to account , and deal with them according to their deserts . But these criminals are safe , the members of the Government and Parliament being of their own class , and

      " A fellow feeling makes them wondrous kind . M vain did Mr . Sceope on the night of the ' 25 th of May , press upon the Government and Parliament their responsibility for not hastening to adopt measures to prevent the frightful destruction of human life going on in Ireland j in vain did he remind the "honourables" and " righthononrables , " that whilst they were enjoying-themselves nig ht and , day , and expending large sums of money in pleasures and

      recreations , their fellow creatutes were dying by thousands , buried without coffins , or in many instances left uuburied ,. a prey to rats , dogs , and birds of carrion—Yes , all in vain ! Lord John Russell declared that he thought Her Majesty ' s Government had done all that it was in their power to do , and he did not think that any efforts that House could . make would prevent the dreadful scenes of suffering and of death that were now occTirring in Maud ,

      Chancellor of the Exchequer added that three-halfpence or twopence per day would keeplife in the body , and that , thanks to Free Trade , that sum would purchase enough of life-preserving Indian meal ; Free Trade had , therefore , contributed very largely to the preservation of life in Ireland by cheapening the food imported there . He omitted to say anything about the exported food sent out of the country for the profit of landlords and speculators , and for lack of which the people are perishing in spiteof the cheap Indian meal . I have no return at hand of the quantity of nn ...- ^ - * .. „ ^

      provisions sent out of Ireland in the year 1848 ; but in the year 1846 there were exported from that country 3 , 266 , 193 quarters of wheat , barley and oats , besides flour , beans , peas , and rye } . 186 , 483 cattle , 6 , 363 calves , 259 , 257 sheep , 180 , 827 swine ; besides butter , cheese , dried provisions , potatoes , & c , , & c . After more "talk" which resulted in nothing , the honourable members gave their attention to other , matters , and finally concluded the evening's sitting by adjourning for a week to enjoy then- pleasures during the Whitsuntide holidays . '

      The time for Ireland ' s redemption has arrived , but the men are wanting . Were bold and honest men at the head of affairs ,, they would make short work of the Irish difficulty . The resumption of the entire soil by the State , in the name of arid for the people ; the placing of that people upon the land , to cultivate it for then- own benefit , not for that of landlords and speculators ; the affordmgof the cultivators security of possession , and the supply ing of them with the necessary funds , by a loan raised - from our plethoric capitalists , to be repaid by the cultivators inthe shape of a moderaterent to the'State , would be means adequate to the end . of ; saving Ireland—measures which bold and honest statesmen would adopt , and carry out in defiance of all obstacles .

      As to the Irish landlords , they might deem themselves fortunate if they were permitted to enrol themselves amongst the hardworking cultivators of the soil , furnished with the same assistance , and subjected tothe same regulations as the rest of then * countrymen . If they could not bring their proud stomachs to submit to this honest—though humbling position , matters might be compromised with them by paying-their passage money to Caffre land , or . New Holland , where they might enjoy the congenial company of the savages of those countries , and either work and live , or remain idle and perish , just as they might please . Either result would be a blessing tothe human family . L'AMIDtJPEUPLE . May 31 st , 1849 .

      " If there ' s a hole in a' your coats I redeye tent it ! A chiel ' s amang ye taldn ' notes An'faith he'll prcnt it . " Gextlejeex , —If anyapology be deemed necessary for the present short address , it will be found in tne circumstance of my being one of those for whose ostensible benefit all previous reforms have been attempted by the various parties who imagined they had sufficient interest to carry them . "With what success , and their remedial eft ' ects on the condition of all the useful classes of the community , I need only refer you to tho downward tendency of everything that concerns the remuneration of manual labour ; to the pressure on the capital of tho generality of employers which has urged you to the formation of your present powerful organisation ;

      and last , though not least , to that which will remain a just reproach on the public spirit of England , until Englishmen shall exhibit that amount of public virtue which—like a leet jury—will adjust the scales of political traffickers in the sacred name of justice—I mean the deplorable condition of unhappy Ireland ! But , " gentlemen , if the past has been unproductive of good—if the measures which have been hitherto bro ught forward by the good and the humane for the benefit of . mankind , have jeithcr been thwarted in limine , or have failed to effect the objects of their promoters , let us , as honest and ]> ractical men , endeavour to find out the causes of failure , and by the adoption of a more cautious course of procedure , and a stern adherence ' 'to our - principles , at all events deserve , if we cannot command , immediate

      success . I do not doubt , nay , from personal knowledge I am aware , that you have among you men of sterling worth and first-rate talent , men who will not be trammelled in the expression of their sentiments by the undefined terms of " Financial and Parliamentary Reform , " but will give their opinions in a clear and tangible form , by which we may know how far the mass of the people may hope to participate in the anticipated results of this mighty agitation . But , at the same time , I am also aware that the chief cause of our previous failures has been this—' that the philanthropist and the patriot have been cajoled or outvoted by their more designing , because more interested colleagues , and isolated from the great body of the people through class prejudice or mercenary motives ; the loaders iu the great reform movements of late years have

      either" : descended to the barren womb of Nothing—from whence they sprung " or , taking advantage of the influence they possessed , have quietly seated themselves in the official chair , and become the tools of the minister in the oppression of their too-confiding fellow-men!—and oftentimes , too , of their former associates And as I cannot flatter you on the superiority , in point of purity , of your present committee over others which have preceded it , and knowing as I do something of the wants aud wishes of the working population of the country , I would respectfully offer my mite of information on a subject of such vital importance to the people at large , and to caution you against the fatal error hitherto so pertinaciously adhered to by the leaders of rfass-movements . I allude to the practice of thrusting from your councils the men of the million : for as they are by all parties acknowledged

      to be the producers o f all wealth , and thence having a superior claim to a voice in tho distribution of that wealth , so are they the strength and support of any party to whom they become attached ; and if the middle class be really in earnest in . their present expressed desire to save the remnant of their capital from the voracious maw ' of the voluptuous taxeater , or the greedy gripe of the great monopolist , they must at once , and in good faith , unite with their brethren of the anvil and tho loom , in their jusi demand for the restoration of those political immunities , in the exercise of which alone will be found the guarantee of your mutual protection from the encroachments of any governmental faction—or the rapacity of tho locusts of all hues which the present ' anomalous system of misrepresentation calls into existence , and supports in their nefarious nibblings at the labourer ' s crust—the . shopkeeper ' s till—and the capital of the farmer and the merchant '

      . . I have not been an inattentive observer of your movement , nor am I solitary in my scrutiny . ; there are thousands—I may say millions—looking torward with sullen intensity to the means you may deem expedient to adopt to- accomplish the mission you have , in the name of your country , undertaken ; and , however others , hig h in the estimation of the working classes , may flatter you with their adhesion and support on the foolish plea of " crippling government patronage ! " I tell you candidly—cmrf o very short time will test the truth of my averment— that vou will not obtain that desideratum until you join council with the veritable leaders of the popular movement ; men who , having strugg led long and arduously in the promulgation of the very principles with which vou have just set out , arc eminently qualified to aid and assist you in the furtherance ol thelaudable objects you have in view ; and moreover , as these worthy men , to whom I allude , deunenfran

      servedl y possess the confidence of the - chised millions , and a considerable portion of the electors , to boot , you can only reasonably hope to Obtain that modicum of acquiescence necessary to carry your objects , throug h the medium of a good understanding with the chosen advisers of the people as to the primary objects for wlnchyou moan to . contend But , in tho name of all past experience , let us h ^ ar no more of « ' cripp lmg the government in the exercise of its patronage" through the mstrumentality of Financial Reform . So long as the MiSershave the power of issuing any amount of S ^ W-andVinfluence to get them added to Eationaldebt , and saddle . youand your chiidrenwiththe additional interest , the cry oi . enp-E ' tlie government by any other means than bVa thorough reform of the Commons House is worse than steer nonsense , and willprove in the end to be mockera delusion and a rawe- . .

      To The Committee Of The National Financi...

      a strong d esire to see the prejudice of class . laid aside m the establishment of a cordial union of all good men , of whatever degree , whose efforts may eventuate m the accomplishment of a better system ; and my most sanguine hope is , that having taken up so prominent a position in the face of an oppressed community—a position from which you cannot recede with honour until you have exhausted all the means at your disposal in an honest and manly e j ? t 0 effect the reforms you are publicly pledged to effect , " and the convictions of all the speakers at your late meeting , so nobly expressed , will bear me out in the assertion that Parliamentary Reform must be the primary object . The masses are with you , if you adopt their political creed . Of yourselves you are powerless—united with the peo-. .

      ple your triumph is sure and certain . But if , on the other band , you allow the pride of wealth or party prejudice to obstruct a union so absolutely necessary ,.-and so happily opportune , you will have yourselves only to blame for your failure , ; and , like others who have gone before you in the fruitless attempt to establish their selfish interest on the political degradation of the labouring population , your schemes will be justly derided , and your names become a byword and a reproach . , I have . hitherto treated this subject only in so far as it regards the interests of the class to which I belon g—l moan tho working class , commonly so called—but I will now proceed to make a few obseryations on the affinity which exists between us ana tno real middle class or shopkeepers of this both

      country , as to position , ability to pay taxes , and the want of power to resist the ' imposition of additional burthens . Bear in mind , gentlemen , I do not recognise the aristocracy of any class . They have almost in variably become the oppressors of their fellow men , either as tax-eaters or monopolists , and therefore with those I feci that I have no mutual interestjbut it is vary different with the great body of the intermediateiclajs of useful distributors of the necessaries ol life between the producers and the consumers . These are the men with whom I would fraternise , and with whom I should wish to see our brethren in cordial union , for our mutual protection against the cupidit y . of the monopolist , in the meantime , and our ultimate emancipation—we , from tho political serfdom into which we have been invidiouslv

      placed by their mock elevation—and they , from the annoying influences , by which they are ' beset , and which render their franchise of none avail ; and it is wdh the . view of facilitating that union that I would , in the first place , endeavour to remove the veil of prejudice which has been so artfull y , but , at the same time , successfully , introduced betwixt us , for the purpose , ; as the issue lias clearly demonstrated , of more effectually dividing us , in order to make mere shuttlecocks of those on whom the Reform Bill cwi / erra ? (?) a little apparent superiority ; for , after all , of whom is this numerous class composed ? Assuredly , not of men who can boast a vast deal of intellectual , scientific , mechanical , or literary

      attainments—whereas , the superiority of the mechanical portion of their . brethren—in these respectsplaces them far above them in the scale of usefulness . Whence , then , this suicidal backwardness to unite with them , for their common benefit ? I say their common benefit , for it . will be at once conceded that when the working people are prosperous , the shopkeeper receives a corresponding advantage ; and it is because of the depression in the one department , that those of the other find it difficult to pay their taxes , and hence their present effort to relieve themselves b y Financial Reform . Vain hope ! of which the anticipated proximity of the millennium is a fitting counterpart .

      And , what have you gained , gentlemen , by the assumed preference ? Why , not one in every ten of you dare use your ' privilege of voting according to your honest conviction ; many of you allowing yourselves ' to be disqualified on the eve of an election , rather than be subjected to the usual annoyances , or the probable ruin consequent on an independent vote ; this is the very acme of slavery , and ought at once to bo repudiated by all men of sense , and more particularly so by a class of persons moving in a decent sphere of life , and laying claim , par excellence , to an extra share of respectability ; again , just see how easily you may be denuded of even this poor privilege ; only change your residence , and you are disqualified for the best part of two years , or , as it often happens , go into the next

      parish , and you are without the pale of the constitution altogether ; ' so much - for your boasted privileges , happy , freeborn Englishmen ' . And where is your power to effect anything forthe welfare of society ? Let the blessed results of the Reform Bill respond . It is true , you can be marshalled at the call of the aristocracy of your class , when a political object is to bo gained , or as it often transpires , ( let us hope it is not so in thex > resent instance , ) to divert the public mind from the stern and determined efforts of the unenfranchised masses to obtain their just , but too long withheld rights ; aud what is the consequence ? Just these ; diminished profits and additional taxation , and every effort you have hitherto made , but too plainl y shows , that you have no power to help yourselves ,

      much less your fellow men . But , ' * better late than never , " is an old saying ; and you may yet retrieve yourselves , and he of . immense utility ill a wholesome agitation for a full and effective representation of the peop le in Parliament ; tho materials are all prepared to your hand , the result of years of study , and the experience of all the practical reformers for centuries back arc at your disposal , to guide and instruct you all , arranged so simply and concisely in the document known to , and appreciated by millions of the sons of toil , who neither have time nor the means to give immediate effect to the agitation which you possess — I moan that glorious compendium of all that is essential as a basis of a better system of legislation—I mean the

      People ' s Charter . And if you be really in earnest in your professions to benefit even yourselves by the reduction of the public burthens , you must , in the first place , got an unfettered voice in the transaction of the public business , and that can never be tlie case till the rig ht of voting be universal ; that right secured from undue interference by the Ballot- ; aristocratic imbecility avoided by the abrogation of the Property Qualification ; corruption defeated and patronage destroyed by tho adoption of Annual Parliaments ; humble talent and honesty secured by the Payment of Members , and the present unequal and anomalous system of representation rectified by the division of tho country into Equal Electoral Districts .

      Now , gentlemen , we are willing tounitowith you on this common ground ; we have at all times been willing so to unite , tho onus of disunion rests with those who have refused to accord to us the same political rights as they themselves possessed , or were seeking by our assistance to obtain ; the onus of disunion will still lie with you , if you are still prone by tlie same juggle , for you may rest assured that the experience of the past will not bo fruitless iu our further struggles to be free ; and , however we may be contemned and opposed by the factious , I hope the class to whom I have now addressed myself , will sec the utility of uniting with their brethren , who are thus willing to unite with them , for their ¦ ¦ mutual protection in tho meantime , and the ultimate benefit of tho whole human family .

      m . r . ^ yiw CnAllTERYILLE . Tho ' 'bull-frog farmers , " as the immortal Cobbett has it , continue " their unrelenting hostility to the allottees ; and as the Curate of tho parish ot" Minster Lovel lias evinced a kindly disposition towards the allottees , and taken up his residence at their school-house , and' " opened a school for tho instruction , of tho children , whether resident at Chartcr ville , Minster , or Little Minster , and otherwise exhibited acts of kindness ' to his poorer brethren ; the opulent farmers , ' "however ,, have conspired against the Reverend Gentleman , with a view to his removal from the curacy , and have sent letters to . the Rural Dean , and thereby endeavoured to incite the Bishop to remove bim , . on the pretext that his "'impediment of speech" unfits him for the

      duties of a pastor ; but tho allottees , grateful for past services , have rallied round their friend , and in them the Rev . W . Bryan has found a staunch supporter .. From amongs t them a council was formed , and application was made to the outgoing churchwardens , Messrs . Butler and Gillet , for the use of the . vestry room , in which to hold a public meeting of the parishioners to memorialise the Bishop of Oxford on behalf of the Curate , but these gentlemen declined to . let the parishioners have their own room to moot in , and , in consequence , on Whit Monday , a most numerous and hi ghly respectable meeting of the parishioners was held in the church-yard , Mr . George Bubbj churchwardenclect , in the chair , who briefly stated the object of the meeting ,, when the following memorial was proposed ;—

      TO THE RIGHT BEVEREND FATHER IX GOD , SAMUEL , LOBD BISHOP OF OXFORD . The respectful Memorial of the undersigned Inhabitants of the parish of Minster Lovel , in -the ounty of Oxford . Siieweth , —That your " memorialists -have heard With much pain that applica ' tiou . has been made to your Lordship to remove the liev . l ' ercival YVilmot Bryan from the Curacy of this parish .

That your memorialists beg -with all deference to assure your Loi'dship that it is by . no means the wish ofa majority of the parishioners that the Hevorend Gentleman should be removed from tlie exercise of his sacredfunctioris in their parish , . That the impediment of speech with which the Reverend gentleman is troubled is not such an impediment as to prevent his following Ids holy vocation , in a manner becoming the sacred character .

      ' . That your memorialists , are of opinion that the Bevercnd Gentleman lias now a greater fluency of speech than wbon he first came amongst us . That the Reverend Gentleman , by visiting his flbelc ' and by a reverential attention to Jus pastoral duties ^ has vvon the esteem and affections of tire parishioners .- ..

      worthy . tho character ofa Christian minister , has subdued much prejudice , disarmed scepticism , and caused a far better attendance at church tiian your memorialists believe would otherwise be the case . That your memorialists are thoroughly , sincerely , ana heartily of opinion that the Rev . Percival Wilmot Bryan , by his active piety , humility , and perfect Christian charity is eminently qualified for the pastoral care . ot the parish o ' f Minster Lovel . Your memorialists therefore entreat your Lordship to take the case into your most serious consideration , and bless the parish of Minster Lovel by continuing to it the services of their much respected friend and pastor , Percival "VVilmot Bryan , —prevent schism , —restore good and kindly feeling , —and ensure to yourself tho prayers and blessings of the undersigned inhabitants of Minster Lovel . Messrs . Stallwood , Gilbert , Youngs , and Caulk , havinff addressed the meeting in favour of the . .. . . .

      object for which it had met , the memorial was adopted unanimously by acclamation . On the motion of Messrs . Beattje and Russeli ,, is was resolved , — " That the memorial be signed as numerously as possible , and transmitted to the Bishop of Oxford , and that a copy be also transmitted tothe Rev . Mr . Earl , vicar of the parish . " On the motion of Messrs . Stallwooo and Gilbert , a vote of censure was given to tho outgoing churchwardens , Messrs . Butler and Gill , for their conduct in refusing the parishioners the use of their own room to meet in . A vote of thanks was then given to Mr . G . Bubb for his urbanity and impartiality , which was acknowledged , and the meeting quietly dispersed . The memorial will obtain tho signatures of a great majority of the inhabitants . After the morning meeting a party of the allottees , accompanied by the Rev . P . W . Bryan , proceeded to Wychwood Forest , an immense tract of land ,

      lying comparatively barren , though capable of sustaining many thousands of the starving poor—if tho " idle lands" were only placed in the compulsory " idle hands "—and in true gipsy style swung their kettle , spread their cloth on the green swar < £ and helped themselves to cresses from the running brook . Having enjoyed their repast , they proceeded to explore the forest , and almost envied the freedom of the herds of deer as they gracefully bounded by —contrasted the open forest with the : enclosed and luxuriant portion occupied bv Lord Churchill—paid a visit to the "field of industry , " a large space laid out , and let out at an annual rental to poor husbandmen , which showed that even tlie forests could be turned to great advantage , and that " the poor might cease from out the land , " had we but a government elected by , and acting forthe people . The party returned to Charterville , having enjoyed the rational pleasures of Whit-Monday afternoon , more than ever determined to press forward for the achievement of political , social , and moral reforms .

      Public Meetings. Journeymen Bakers' Shor...

      PUBLIC MEETINGS . JOURNEYMEN BAKERS' SHORT TIME MOVEMENT . A public meeting of tlie Operative Bakers' Society was held at Zion Chapel , Union-street , adjoining Whitechapel Church , on Wednesday evening , to take into consideration the present degraded state of the journeymen bakers , and to petition parliament to pass the bill about to be introduced to the House of Commons by Lord Robert Grosvenor for the abolition of night-work inthe baking trade . The chair was taken by George Thompson , Esq ., supported by Luke James Hansard , Esq ., Jos . Payne , Esq ., Rev . Chas . Stovel , Mr . John Glennic , sen . and Mr . Thns . Webber .

      Mr . G . Read read the report of the proceedings of the society since the last general public meeting , at which Lord Robert Grosvenor presided . It stated that at Glasgow , Exeter , Bristol , and numerous other places , the public had sympathised with the society and signed petitions in great numbers . Mr . GEonou Thompson said that the object of tho proposed bill was to confine the labour done in bakehouses between the hours of four o ' clock in the morning and six o ' clock iu the evening , with tlie exception of some easy duties which were essential to tho proper conduct of such establishments . He thought this a most reasonable demand . He lamented that there should exist any necessity for such a bill , and hoped the day was not far distant when there would not only bo such a reduction of

      the hours of labour as was contemplated by the proposed bill , but a very large reduction of the remaining hours . Somehow or other man had contrived , either influenced by covetousness or goaded by necessity , to double and quadruple the primeval malediction , "that he should eat his bread by the . sweat of his brow . " He did not believe that it was necessary in a community like ours that any man should be callfcd on to toil to such an extent as they did , whose benefit was contemplated by this bill , who laboured ei hteen and twenty hours out of the twenty-four . Tiie great objection which could bo urged in the House of Commons against the bill would be , that it would be establishing a dangerous precedent , and that other trades would come forward and ask for a similar bill , but he trusted that

      a case would be made out of such imperative necessity that , irrespective of future contingencies , . the measure would bo passed . Mr . Webber , a master baker , moved the' first resolution : — "That the meeting deplored the existence of the present system of nig ht-work , of unlimited hours of labour , carried on in the bakingtrade , which was proved to he productive ofa groat amount of demoralisation , misery , degradation , and premature bodily decay , to a large and important class of the community , , and inflicted a flagrant wrong on those employed in the baking business , by depriving them of the necessary time for mental , moral , or religious improvement , or oven rational enjoyment or recreation , and that it was the duty

      of all persons to assist in eradicating the evil . " He contended that this was a master's question , as Well as a journeyman's , and that as there was no chance of coming to any arrangement , it was accessary to apply to parliament . Mr . Glenxik , a master baker , seconded the resolution , which was also supported in a humorous speech by Mr . J . Payne , barrister-at-law , and carried unanimously . Mi" . Luke J . Hansard moved the second resolution , pled g ing the meeting to petition parliament to pass the bill introduced by Lord Robert Grosvenor , and requesting the metropolitan members to support it , The Rev . Chas . Stovel , M . A ., who described himself as having been ajourneyman baker , seconded the resolution . ' '

      It was also supported by Mr . Allison , and una nimously adopted ; and , after thanks to the Chair man , the meeting separated .

Signor O . Villain having been called to the chair , ' congratulated tho meeting upon the sympathy which had been expressed iu behalf of his fellow-countrymen by the Eng lish nation , independent of the national feeling that had been displayed by tho Italians who were resident in London .

Epps and family , Miss Cushman ( the American actress ) . Miss Eliza Cook ( the - poetess ) , & c . The

      THURSDAY , Way 31 . HOUSE OF COMMONS .-CANADA .-In reply rti n " UIST 0 PHER ' who alludcd t 0 'he publication ol the Canadian papers in the Times newspaper before the were in the hands of the members , J " * . "Awes stated that the papers were not delivered to members on account of the holidays . No tavountism was shown to any particular newspaper . In this case apphcations had been made for earl v copies by the newspapers , wbivh had been acceded to as soon as they were printed ; and in many cases it was most important that the government should avail themselves or the gr . at publicity which tho newspapers afforded tor making the public acquainted with , i mportant public documents . ( Cheers . ) Su pply . —On the motion for tlie consideration of the report of the Committee of Supply ,

      Sir II . ffii . r . ouonnv rose to move , pursuant to notice , a reduction of £ 50 , 000 in tho navy estimates , with reference to wages and artificers . The vote of last year was £ 8 . 51 , 000 , that was reduced to £ 811 , 000 in the estimates of the present year , being a reduction of £ 40 , 000 , and what he now proposed was to reduce that amount by £ 50 , 000 . He held in his hand the expenditure for tlie last , few years , but he could sec no such sum as this as ever having been demanded of the House of Commons under iN ' o . 8 . Take the seven years from 1 S 35 to 1 S 42 , ho found tho average somewhere . about £ 400 , 000 , while in the seven years from 1812 to the present time , the average ' was £ 701 , 090 . Therefore that proved at once the vote now demanded from the House was

      considerably m excess of the average of tho last seven years , and at a period too during which thev had been what was called creating a steam navy . " The same was the case with regard to the workers and artificers ; for he found by tho returns that thcnuniber of men employed in the dockyards had increased from 9 , 000 men in 1842 to 13 , 00 0 in lSdS , exclusive of convicts ; so that , both in point of men and money , there had been a continual increase , and he therefore wanted to know how it was that tho Admiralty had not complied with the recommendations of the Committee which had sat upon this subject . It reall y was hfgh time that the matter was looked into . With a navy , consisting of 70 vessels , of upwards of 72 ffuns each .

      they had a steam navy of 5 , 000 horse power , and he wanted to know where the limit was to stop ? How long was this extravagant waste c € the public money to go on ? At all events , some explanation was due to tlie House from the Admiralty , and he now felt it to be his duty to call for it . He had to ask on what principle this enormous expense had been regulated ? He admitted that there mi ght be danger of war ; but there was another danger , that of disgusting the people of this country at the enormous amount of our taxation ; and lie thoiiffht no member would be bold enough to'get up ' in his place and say which of these two evils was the greater . Tho hon . member concluded by proposing tho reduction of which he had given notice . Mr . Godson seconded the amendment .

      Sir Fraxcis Baking , who was heard very indistinctly in the gallery , was understood to say that if the proposed reductions were made , other expenses , almost equal in amount , would have to bo incurred . He did not think that our steam navy was more extensive than was necessary ; alread y a reduction of £ 86 , 000 ( we understood ) : had been made in the wages of tho artificers , and a further reduction oi £ 10 , 000 in the wages of the officers . He quite agreed with the lion , member ( Sir II . Willoughb y ) that every possible economy ought to be practised in the expenses of the navy ; but , at present , it would bo impossible to make the reduction which had been proposed . Mr . Henlkv supported the amendment . After some further discussion the amendment was withdrawn and tlie votc ' nsrccd to . The House then went into Committee of Suppl y ; the votes being those for civil contingencies . On the first vote being proposed , '

      Mr . B . Osuorne drew attention to the excessive amounts that were granted for miscellaneous estimates . Altogether they amounted to about £ 3 , 000 , 000 , but as compared with tho grants of 1848 there was a reduction of £ 29 , 000 , though upon the grants of 1 S 47 there was an increase of £ < 5 , 000 . The first item was for special missions , foreign and colonial ; a sum of £ 000 was put down as expenses incurred in settling the terms of the American boundary question ; a similar vote was proposed every year , and altogether there had been expended by tlie Commission no less than £ 20 , 000 , and he wished to know how Jong that vote > vas to be continued . There was another charge of £ 2 , 000 for the expense of Lord Minto ' s mission ; last year there was a similar charge of

      £ 2 , 000 , and he wished to ask whether it . was to be continued , and what was the total amount that hnd been paid . The next item was £ 505 , for the expedition of Colonel Wilde to Portugal , but there w ; is a vote last year for £ 15 , 000 , and tlie year before ( he believed ) there was another vote . The expenses of passagesfor bishops was only £ 166 ; that , he thought , was a matterof great congratulation , for last vear it amounted to £ 1 , 209 . There was an item of £ 1 , 1000 , for Mr . Southoron ' s expedition to Buenos Ay res ; and item of £ 100 to the new President of Liberia . Kow , lie was not a sufficient geographer to know where Liberia was . ( Laughter . ) On looking to tlie map he could not find it , and if he had not soon it in the votes he should not have known that such a place

      existed , or that we had there established a Republic . ( Laughter . ) Then there was an item of £ 44-3 for triennial trumpets ; and it was a curious fact , that though the trum pots were triennial tlie votes were annual . ( Laughter . ) There was also £ 500 for the travelling expenses of the King of the Bel gians ; it was a bad principle that any royal person or any private gentleman should call upon tho people of this country , or tho Commons , to pay such travelling expenses . There was £ 580 for thanksgiving for the famine . Then there was a larger sum for tlie Sultan of Johanno . Who was tho Sultan of Johanno ? They might poke in any body for £ 1 , 000 . ( Laughter . ) Colonel SiiiTiionp had always observed a very thin attendance whenever a money vote was under

      discussion . A brief conversation ensued , during which Mr . Gladstone , took exception to the item for the expenses of the commission appointed to inquire into the constitution and management of the Mint . He thought that tho Master " of the Mint could have instituted and conducted that inquiry himself , and thus have- saved a considerable expense to tlie country . Mr . Sugil justified the course which--had been taken in tho appointment of tlie commission . If it had entailed an expense a little upwards of £ 2 , 000 , it had recommended a yearl y saving , to a much greater-amaunE . He- strongly urged upon the government the adoption of the recommendation of the commission ,, as a saving of not less than £ 15 , 000 a year would thereby be effected .

      Some further conversation took place , embracing a great variety of topics , after which , the votes were agreed to , the ' House resumed , and-,-the . Chairman reported . - The Defects in jmsases Bill then went through committee . The 1 ' assexgees Bill then went through committee ,, and was reported , with same verbal amendments ,, to the House . The Police ob- Towns ( Scotlaso ) Bill was next committed , some-of its clauses being agreed to and others postponed for recommittal . : Tlie Cleuct Belief Bill was . then committed , after which it wis reported , with some amendments , to .-the House .. The other easiness was disposed of , and thq-JIouso adjourned at a quarter past . iijnQ .
