      ieard several xi -lent f creams and presently perceived a female ( the prisoner ) straggling in the canal . She was fortunately rescued fr-m drowning by the assistance of persons who clime . l ov , r the railing , nnd wh * n witness subsequently questioned her as to her mrtivc for throwing herself in , she replied that being unable to get home on Saturday night as soon as was required of her , she was afraid to go back to hir father acain . She was given into custody of police constable 322 S . Mr . Raw linsott ( to prisoner ) : What can you mean by making this wicked attempt npon your life ?—Prisoner { crying ) I was afraid to go home , Sir . The father said , she had no reason whatever to be afraid of anything oftheklnd ,

      and he could not imagine what had become of her ?—Mr . j & awlinsoa : Will jou not take her with you and look properly after her . —The father : I will , your worship . Ho then went away with the poor girl , when , on leaving fte outer office , he said to persons who told him that it was a great wonder his daughter was got out alive , "I wish no one had taken the trouble to pall h * r out ; she ' s * bad girl , and it would have been ftgood tiling for ier , and me too , if she had been drowned . About an lour previous to her attempting suicide she was brought lefore Mr . Rawlinson respecting a rilk handkerchief , supposed to hare been stolen , and was liberated on her promising to appear again at the Court on Wednesday .

      WORSHIP STREET . Important to Members of Friendly Societies . — Mr Caleb Gu = ack , secretary to the London United Brothers Total Ahstincmce Benefit Society , in Alderegate-street , appeared before Mr . Bingliam to show cause why he had unlawfully excluded an elderly man , named James Saver , from the benefits f the association . Mr . Tann , who appeared for the complainant , stated that the society had been formed in the year , 1837 , at which time his client became a member , and punctually continued to pay all his subscriptions until the middle of the year 1841 , when he was compelled to declare upon the sick list , which entitled Aim to 16 s . per week ; bat that sum , as he appeared

      to be permanently afflicted , was subsequently reduced to the ordinary superannuation allowance of 8 s . After receiving the latteramountfor some time , the managing committee thought proper to discontinue it altogether , without assigning any other ground than that the complainant , at the time othis entrance , was beyond the age prescribed by the rales for the admission of members . Such an exception , iowever , he submitted , was untenable , as the comsiittee were perfectly aware of his age when they entered him on their books . The secretary admited that ihe facts had been correctly stated by the complainant ' s solicitor , but said that the association felt themselves greatly

      aggrieved , by the laxity of proceeding on the part of the foundation committee , who , in opposition to their own positive rules , which limited the maximum enhance age to forty-five , had admitted the complainant at the age of sixty-one . which resulted in a most intolerable burden on the society , the collective amount of his superannuation allowance and receipts having been upwards ot £ 50 , while the gross snm he had contributed to the funds was only £ 6 8 s . 4 d . He contended , therefore , that inasmuch as the complainant had been improperly constituted a member ia the first instance , the present committee were perfectly justified in recurring to the strict letter of their regulations , and refusing to allow him those benefits , to which legal members were alone

      entitled . Mr . Bingham said that the defendant was entirely aistaheninthelawoftlieca . se , as the acts of the managing committee at the commencement of the society were imperatively binding upon their successors , and tbe members in genera ] , as long as the association continued in existence . Were that not the case , it would be open to anysociety to rescind its own contracts oa the plea of expediency , and thereby escape alUiabUity for its engagements . In this case

      it was acknowledged that the amount of the cornphv-nant ' s contributions as a member had { been regularly received until he claimed the benefit ot his subscriptions , and it would therefore be obviously contrary to vvety principle of law for the society to take advantage of its own wrong , and exclude him on the ground of an illegality in his original admission . He tad no hesitation , consequently , in making an order ior the man's immediate reinstatement in the lights and benefits of which he had been so improperly deprived .

      The secretary intimated that he did not feel satisfied as to the magistrate ' s jurisdiction , which only embraced such societies as had been formally enrolled under the act ; and although their own printed rules contained a certificate to the effect , he had never seen the enrolment , and after repeated applications to the clerk of the peace , had been unable to procure a copy of it . Sir . Bingham , however , said that the last objection could soon be determined , as he should send one oi his officers to ascertain the fact , and if it turned out to be so , should certainly enforce the decision he had given .

E . Stall wood , 2 , Little Vale Place , Hammersmith Road , stating the amount paid , the time of payment , and to whom . All such applications will meet with immediate attention . 3 ticBASi > Cooper . — In future write your reports only on one side of the paper . Kb . Cooper . —[ From a Correspondent at Bradford . )—In answer to Mr . O'Connor ' s inquiry , Mr . Cooper has been sojourning in Bradford and vicinity the last few days . He has friends amongst the " higher classes , " who may possibly pay his debts , in return for the supposed benefit they receive by tools of the Mill Lords denouncing

      theXand plan , and resorting to the most barefaced falsehoods to prevent the ovtr-woiked and starved labourers becoming members . To the Chaktist Uudy . —Brethren ;—In the last -week ' s XflWlA-A Star there wss a notice calling upon me to attend a meeting at Heywood . on the 20 th instant . "What to make of this I know not , inasmuch as it made its appearance on the 26 th of September : therefore it conld not be this month , nor does it mention any month . I am the more perplexed about it , owing to a number of the Heywood Chartists calling at my house on Sunday morning , tbe 27 tti , among whom was to * Secretary and several members of the Council , and they informed nse they knew nothing about it , ncr ireriti-. ey aware of any such notice until they saw it in the Stir , on the 2 fith . In that notice , I am called

      upon to make sood certain charges which I hare made against Mr . Win . Bell , or retract the same . This maylead those who are not acquainted with the facts of the case , to imagine that this is more of that underhand work which has done our cause so much injury . Therefore , in justice to myself , I adopt this means of setting the member * r . ghton this matter . It will be remembered , thattlieS . mth Lancashire Chartist Camp ^ Meeting was held some time ago , atMhldleton , at that ' mecliH ^ cvrtaiu aUa-. lons -were made by the speakers as t « ihe c & ncuot of a number of men who had h ? en to a conference at Birmingham . The charges whicbl m-: de wer ? , that the parties who paid them for going to Hirminghain , would not pay them for advocate the principles of the People ' s Charter , and that -the !* rotectionifcTS were the parties who paid for that

      Conference ; and further , that 1 was , Ibilievtd , the second man applied to in Manchester to join that movement . I said in the presence of Mr . Bell , and in reply to a speech which he made iu vindication of iiis conduct , and the conduct of those who attended thit Confrrtnc >\ and not in his absence , H-i had the -opportunity of refulir . a : my remarks , if he had thouiht proper ; he , however , did not do £ 0 . Since then I bave been called " public liar , " ' denouncer , " « fce ., called upon to retract the statemen ts or prove them . & c- The force ? I have no reason to do , for I stand by them still . Tiie latter I am prepared to do as soon as the South Lancashire delegates shall have met aud appointed the time and place . 'Whoever toe parties are who Bent that notice to the Star , th ^ y are perfeclly anrarc that a correspondence had taken place bstwiit me and the Heywood Council , and that the whole tiling rested in the hands of the above delegates , who will reset on Sunday the 11 th of October , and wherever they « ay the meeting betwixt

      me and Mr . Ball shell take . gLice , I will attend and make ' good my eferj assertion , mend ^ i have considered this much necessary , in order that you should inow the full extent of my crises . 1 am sorry to trouble the only paper which the working classes have to advocate their rights with ssch . paltry stuff as that I have to defend myself against . I am , dear friends , yours respectfully . Manchester , Sept . 29 , 184 C-. W . Dixon .

      PAISLEY . On Monday evening , September 21 st , 1 S 1 G , Mr . Chbistomer Dotle , one of the Directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , delivered a lecture in the Baptist Chapel , on the principles of the above named society . The spacious edifice was well filled by the sons of industry , and Town Councillor Campbell , a sterling friend to the cause of universal right , was unanimously called to the chair , amidst the hearty acclamation of the persons present . He opened the business of the meeting , by first reading the placard , and then stated that the object ef the Land Society were not , he believed , well understood by the workmen of Paisley . For his own part , he must state that he did not thoroughly comprehend them , but he firmly believed they were based upon justice , and that , if properly carried out , would be productive of much good ; otherwise , Mr . O'Connor , the People' friend , would not have propounded them Iloweverthe Lecturer , Mr . Doyle , was there to

      ex-, pound them , and he hoped they would give him a patient and impartial heating . Mr . Dotle upon rising , was received with hearty marks of applause , and when it had subsided , he commenced by calling the attentionof his audience to the great importance of the subject ; and then proceeded to develope the present physical and social condition of the working classes , and proved to a demonstration , that the areteliedness and misery which they now endured , was mainly attributable to the monopoly of the Land—for in that . monopoly , was absorbed nearly every other . The lecturer next proceeded to explain in the most lucid and forciable manner , the principles and objects of the Society , and the means to carry them into practical effect , and made an earnest appeal to those who were in favour of social redemption , to come forward and enroll themselves as members . He concluded a highly instructive discourse , warmly cheered by his audience .

      Several questions were asked , to which Mr . Doyle answered , apparently to the satisfaction of the questioners , and the meeting generally . Votes of thanks were given to " the * chairman and lecturer , after which several copies of the rules were disposed of .

The lecturer ' s speech occupied an hour and a Jialf 5 a the delivery , and was listened to with earnest attention , and at the conclusion he received the hearty . applause of his hearers . Mr .

Nature ' s Nobles partook ot an excellent tea , and an abundance of choice substantial in addition ; propared by the worthy hostess . Mrs . Mclntyre , and certainly the liquids and solids were done ample justice to by the company-Mr . James Smith , of Glasgow , ( than whom there is not a more honest and indefatigable friend to the causcof human right ) was called upon to pre sido for the evenins . As soon as the cloth was removed , the worthy chairman rose , and after thanking his democratic friends for the honour they had conferred upon him , stated , as it was usual and necessary at such meetings as the present , to propose a number of Toasts suited to the occasion , he thought they were justified in keeping up to so laudable a custom . He would , therefore , without any further preface , give them

      " The People , the only legitimate source of all power , " stod called upon Mr . Mclntyre to respond to it .

      Bilston. At A General Meeting Of The Cha...

Doyle , to give them " Baso oppressors leave your slumbers , "—which was sung by that gentleman with great effect , and elicited much applause . , " The O'Connorville Demonstration " song , was next sung by one of the friends , in first-rate style , which was loudly cheered . Then followed , " Woodman spare that Tree . " The next toast the Chairman introduced , was the toast of the evening , viz .,

      "The Charter , may it soon become the Law of the Land . " He called upon Mr . Doyle to respond . Mr . D . ' s speech occupied forty minutes , and was repeatedly applauded . Several songs were sung previous to the third toast , and amongst them , " Spread the Charter , " by Mr C . Doyle , and the spirit with which it was given had a thrilling effect . The Chaibuan then gave , "The Charsist Co . op (« rative Land Society , and may success crown the efforts o ( its members . " Mr . Dovlb responded to this toast , in a speech replete with sound reason and cogent argument . Many sentimental and democratic songs followed the third toast , and Mr . D . obliged the company with— " Rally around him . "

      Tbe Chairman then gave the last toast of the evening— " The Board of Directors , and may they enjoy long life , and continue to be the honest and able advocates of Universal Freedom . " Mr . Dotle briefly returned thanks , on behalf of his colleagues and himself . .. .

      Paragraph Winch Iound Its Way Into Tbe M...

      paragraph winch iound its way into tbe Mar ot Saturday last without the knowledge of the Editor , Mr . Sweet writes as follows : —Trade never was worse in Nottingham , than it is at the present time , and whoever sent you the statement which appeared in the last Star , or whatever newspaper it was taken from , told an infamous falsehood . Hundreds of the Framework Knitters , men , women , and children , have nothing to do . The Lasd . —Mr . James Moore , one of the very small firm of the malcontents in the Bradford district , favours us with an exceedingly long dissertation upon the extreme impropriety of appending a Chartist school to the first location , and grounds his objection to the Laud plan upon the fact that 1000

      daily are added to the population , and , therefore , there can be no hope of locating them . As to the school impropriety , we shall only observe that , there not being one within three miles , as a matter of fair speculation , apart from the value of education being recognised as part and parcel of our principles , the undertaking was prudent . Perhaps he would perpetuate the change of Chartist ignorance . And , as to the daily increase of population , we ascribe to that fact the great necessity of establishing tho rights ot those yet unborn to their inheritance , at least we shall not be chargeable with the sin oi allowing their claim to be lost by not keeping it alive . We also learn that a new match is being put to the old pile at Keighley , where one gentlemen abused Mr . O'Connor for 6 anctioningsolarge ; amonopolyasfouracres ; while another has abused him most mercilessly upon the score that two acres is worse than starvation , and he

      has undertaken to prove that there must be a loss of £ 8 a year upon the best cultivation of two acres , that is , according to HIS PLAN ; of course then , there would be a los ; of £ 1 on one acre , and of £ 1 on a quarter of an acre , || and of £ 16 oh four acres ; so what , in the name of common sense , are we to do with such philosophers . Why , answer them thus . What constitutes the sole and only property of farmers who never handle spade or plough ? Answer , profit un labour . Whether does well or badly cultivated land pay best ? Answer—well , of course . Can any man living cultivate two acres of land to the highest state of perfection ? Answer—no , nor to one fourth part . Question—what do the growlers mean then ? Answer—they don't know themselves , and it is hard for us to know . If we were to heed the folly of such men , we should naturally agree with Joseph Hume , that the sooner England was covered with an incrustation of lava , the better .

      State Of Trade. Leeds.—The Markets At Th...

      STATE OF TRADE . Leeds . —The markets at the cloth halls have been of the same dull character as those of late , but there continue to be considerable quantities of goods delivered by the larger manufacturers to order ; pieces remain steady . Business in the warehouse has been rather better this week than for some time past . There have baen a considerable number of country drapers in the town , and the home trade has been pretty brisk . Business with the foreign bouses continues dull . Manciiestbr . — We have . 'had a large business doing in cloth , but at rather irregular rates , oaused'by the large advance in the staple . There are sellers at little or no advance , " somv who obtain a trifle over previous rates , whilst other parties refuse to sell at all unless at corresponding prices with that on the advance on cotton . The nome trade is pretty good , the Irish the contrary . Yarns sell freely ut ^ d to id advance . A large business is deing in low numbers .

      Bbadpobd , Thursday . —The demand for combing wool continues the same . The spinners buy with great care , in the hope that wool will shortly bo bought at a price more commensurate with that of yarn . Prices continue firm , and no abatement is made . In the vara trade , business is steady , and prices are fully maintained . Yarns produced from wool combed by machine are in great request , on account of the superiority in clothy softness and other qualities , to hand combed wool . There was not so good an attendance of merchants as on former weeks , but a fair number of pieces , especially coloured otleans , cbanged'hands . We are glad to see the dyer ' s carts and waggons better loaded . There is no change in price . JIcdl'Ehsfield , Tuesday . In consequence of tho greater part of the manufacturers delivering goods to order , there has not been much done iu the cloth ball today . The business transacted has been chiefly in winter fabrics , of which there was a varied choice in tlii market . There is not much alteration in the warehouses during the week . The fancy department is tolerably active , whilst iu some descriptions of goods there is a slackening in demand .

      Halifax , Saturday . We are unable to vary our report of this day ' s market , as recorded iu last week ' s paper . Kociidale Flannel Market , Monday . We havo had rather less business doing to-day than at lust week ' s market , and prices continue much the same . The present should be the busiest time of the year , as the shopkeepers should be laying in their winser stocks . There is very little change in the wool market ; prices remain firm , and the manufactures buy for immediate use only . Trade in Nottisguam . —The cotton stocking trades is extremely depressed . The glove trade—silk and

      cottonis in a very stagnant state , and gives little hope , at present , of permanent improvement . The cut system , in almost erery instance , overwhelms tho demand , the production being much increased by this method , The bobbin net trade , in some quarters , is better , but in others , worse , it is in a most uncertain state . The plain-net and quilling trade made , from the rotatory circular-bolt machines is much better than the fancy * levers branch . The travels warp lias become very much depressed in Nottingham and the suburbs , but has slightly improved iu other districts . A new manufacturer of worsted lace from the warp and bobbin-net frames has gradually come into vogue .

      The Warp Silk . Blosd Trade in Nottisguam . —The workmen in tins trade ha ve issued a statement representing its degraded position , the average wages not being more than 7 s . a week , and the manufacturers ( us they say ) gaining scarcely any profit . Tiiev attribute this solely to the few manufactures in Nottingham , not more than five or six computing with each other in selling at the lowest prices , Tliey suggest that a small advance , even a half-pennv in a dozen yards , upon the article , wholesale , would have the effect of relieving both workmen and manufactures . Their statement concludes with an in timation of a strike for better wages . Leicester . — The demand for regular hosiery goods has not been so brisk , oniiiif to the continued fine weather keepiu" tho autumn trade backwards . Ihe London wholesale houses are also flat for the time of the year , on this account , their country customers defering to make their usual purchases ^ at present . Yarns and woois romain without alteration .

      Glasgow . —The market is very flat at present for cotton goods generally , indeed more so than we have seen for a long time . The accounts from the East bv the mail are still very unfavourable ; although the money market there is rather easier , prices of goods are not remunerating . We havo to notice an improvement in our cotton yavn market , although a . slv ; ht on « , the accounts received oy the India mail having given an impetus to our shipping numbers , say from numbers 30 to 70 . Pig iron £ i per ton ; bar mm i $ 10 s . ; nail rods . CIO 10 s . ; boi ' -er plates and sheets £ 13 ; rails £ 10 Ills , to £ U .-Glasgto J-xauuiwr .
