( Hear . ) ftwa 8 * e , ist :. keto suppose that there wasafree press in England fortfce greatest obstacles met every man who Sed to establish a newspaper in this country ( Hear bear 1 There were eleven daily papers in England , and

      *** - *** . .- m * ;_ X « n Ja « Ttite vac Atrinn */» all ofWse were published » £ »<«« ; ™» ? ° * r % ^ the present law . It was so difficult to establish a diurnal ionrntl . or even a weekly one , that no man who was not almost insane would attempt it . ( Hear , hear . ) He would riown e tbe question that ti e newspaper stamp duty was imposed for the purees of revenue . That was too absurd an assertion for argument . No . the object was to keep tbe people in ignorance and political darkness . ( Hear , bear . ) TFith rr-gard to the psper duty , he believed it could be « asilv shown that the duty was in reality threepence , inuicad ' of three halfpence , as was pretended . ( Hear , hear . ) Heb littred with Cromwell , that if a government -was not ahieto withstand paper bullets , Hcould not stand at all .

      {& oa-J cheers . ) Mr . Couoex , M . P ., who was much cheered , said that the crowded attendance at that meeting led him to think that the question had taken a due hold of the public mind of tbe metropolis , and be hoped tho meeting , next year , would have to be held in Drury-lane Theatre . In the agitation for free trade in corn , he found that when the supporters of that cause became vastaUvd in tbe metropolitan patent theaties , it was notf « r from a triumphant issue . ( Hear , hear . ) The main question before tbe meeting—that of the penny stomp on newspapers—was not a fiscal question at all . it would be childish to supporc that there was any great resistance to the importunities of the public to remove a tax producing but £ 250 , 000 ( deducting the cost of transmission of newspapers by post ) on the score of its

      necessity for the public revenue . No ; it was resisted upon principle . Those who opposed the abolition of the newspaperstamp did it because they preferred darkness to light , and wanted to exclude the great mass of the people from reading and discussing the political questions . ( Hear , hear . ) They conld not prevent the people discussing and reasoning npoa public events ; why not give them the opportunity of doing it in tbe best way . and let them have facts and arguments thrust under their noses ? { Hear , hear . ) On the Continent we had seen questions raised , and obtain a considerable amount of popular support—questions which many of us considered would not for a moment bear the light of argument if discussed rationally ; but op inions had been put down by fjree instead of by rc .-i » ou . Were those questions settled bv fighting the battle in that way ? You

      could not destroy ideas by bayonets and musketry . ( Hear . ) These questions , " now thought to be laid for ever in the dust , with the blood of ten of their professors would rise again in spite of that brute force —( hear , hear}—and the men who had been coerced would have the tit ' e to martyrdom in the future devotees to their principles . ( Hear , hear . ) It was said , indeed , that the press would degenerate : but when was an article ever improved by taxing it ? ( Hear , hear . ) Were not the working people as careful not to put works of that libidinous character before their sons and daughters as the higher classes ? Yvs , quite as much . { Cheers ^—A voice , "And move too . " ) If you sought the literary taste of the mass in their family circles , you would -find it as pure and discriminating as iu any other class of society ( hear , hear . ); and it was a foul libel upon the

      people of this country to say , that if you gave tuem cheap publications containing news , they would not be just as discriminating , and as certain to prefer the best qualities in newspapers , as now they did in other periodicals . ( Hear , bear . ) All parties now professed to be desirous of promoting the education of the people . 40 , OOP of the ratepayers of Manchester and Salford had petitioned to be rated for the purpose—a mo .-t honourableand probably almost unprecedentedly-generous act —( hear , hear . )—but theold difficulty intervened—tbe religious question . But surely every friend of education should desire to abolish every impediment fo voluntary education and the diffusions of knowledge . ( Hear . ) lord Derby had come into power —( hisses)—no doubt he believed he came into office to carry out his opinions , and he told us three weeks a « o what they were ; be came in to

      reimpose a corn law . ( Hisses . ) }> ow , if Lord Derby were in the habit of reading the papers , as he might be if the newspapers were perfectly free , daily papers circulating among the mass of tie people to the extent of 50 , 000 or 100 , 000 a day at a penny , he would have seen what was the the public opinion of the country upon that subj-ct —( hear , bear)—and would not have taken office under the promise of do : ng an impossibility . ( Hear , hear . ) But now how was he to learn it was an impossibility ? Why , so clumsily did our system work , for want of the mode of communicating the public opinion of the country in a more tranquil way , we must have great public meetings in Manchester—( Mr . Cobden ) was going to one on Tuesday —( cheers)—he must go among his constituents in the West Riding ; there must be multitudinous meetings —( cheers)—we must do

      the same in London —( cheor .-O—and why ? To tell Lord Derby lie shou'd not put another farthing of duty upon corn . ( Great cheering . ) All that might have been told him iu the really constitutional , and in the most tranquil manner through the public press , if our prers had been free ; and ho ( Mr . Cobden ) solemnly believed it would not have been necessary to hold one single great public meeting . ( Hear . ) "What he wanted the newspaper press to be free for was , not merely that leading articles might be written—you could publish theories and opinions now without a stamphut he wanted it free that facts might be communicated . Facts formed the aliment of knowledge . ( Hear . ) What com was to the material body , facts were to the mind ;—< hear , hear)—by tbeir digestion a healthy knowledge was to be r-cquired , and a ~ jast conclusion formed . ( Hear ,

      bear . ) Jtiere were many young men present , many engaped in literary pursuits " , many compositors , he believed ; be knew the audience by their heads . ( A laugh . ) Gentlemen of educ ition , who hid a university or classical education , desiring to occupy themselves as reporters , had but some half-dozen establishments to go to now in all London for engagements ; abo'ish those restrictions and there "would be four times as many papers , and four times the demand for literary talent . Let those ¦ who derived their means of subsistence from literature join this movement , and let it be hoped that at the next meeting tbe association would have with it the men who led the literature of the day and ihe advocates of education . ( Hear , hear . ) L ° t them join this cause , and , in spite of tbe politicians , the taxes on knowledge should be abolished . ( Cheers . )

      Sir . Hume , M . P ., in supporting the motion , went through the history of the newspaper-tax , and noticed the progress of newspapers and their great usefulness as the instructors of the moss of societ ? . lie dwelt briefly also on the impediments caused by the paper duty , and the benefits which he thought must result from its removal , instancing the result of the remission of the glass duty . People who were called to serve the State , as on juries for example , ought not to be hindred in getting instruction bow to perform their duties . In the United States buyer and seller could advertise without duty , and each thus got the best market for his object . There were 400 , 000 , 000 of papers published in one year , and the result was general intelligence , except

      among the -European immigrants , ( Hear , hear . ) It was A scandal to tee it refused here . Why should knowledge be restricted to a few ? It was beneficial to the State to hava an educated people . ( Hear , hear . ) There were those who resisted it because they would have the people tools . ( Hear . ) Hie had confidence in the mass of the people , and would give them instruction and information . ( Hear . ) If the present Ministry did not listen to the demand , ho trusted there would be that interest and agitation about it that would prevent any successful opposition . ( Cheers . ) After a fair words from Mr . Rogers , the resolution was agreed to . Mr . Collet moved the second resolution : — .

      That the insignificance of the amoant of reremie yielded by the newspaper stamp shows that it is now retained , as U was originally enacted , for the purpose of destroying the independence of the press , and preventing the circulation of cheap newspapers . Mr . Collet asked every man who regularly purchased a daily newspaper'to hold up hit band ; and , after counting the number , said he was only twenty out of the 1 , 500 . That ^ as tbe fruit of tbe newspaper stamp . ( Hear , hear . ) What had come to be t' . e state of the case with the daily papers of London ? Wh y , that the " Times" took nearly 12 , 000 , 000 stamps in 1850 , and aU tha other daily papers put together nly 7 . 500 , 000 . ( Hear . hean i Tbe Association were determined to try the question as to the publication of unstamped monthly papers ia the middle of tbe month .

      Mosday, Fbh. 9x House Of Lords.-Therew A...

      MOSDAY , Fbh . 9 X HOUSE OF LORDS .-Therew asa tolerable muster of the ex-Ministers present at th * opening of the house , and a sprinkling of ladies in the r « tilery . The front Protectionist bench was almost empty , "" garl Derby the new Minister , did not make his appearan ce . ' After a few prelin ^ aries , tbe Marquis of Lahsdowhk rose to make the existed statement of the resignation of Ministers , whic V x he prefaced by moving that the order of the day for Fr ' ^ ay next % relating to the appointment of a Select Convcittee on Indian affairs , be discharged ; and Stated a ? , tig reason for making that motion the fact , with "which , tfre house was doubtless acquainted , that Lord Derby was engaged ia the formation of a new Ministry , m

      consequence of the resignation of Lord John Russell s adromistta . " aon . He ban no wish to throw any impediments in the way of the noble Earl , especially as the experience of the past year had convinced bim that the retention of office by a government which . could not command a sufficient amount of support was a positive evil . Having said so much , he might stop , but as he felt that the time had now arrived when it was improbable that he should ever again address the house from that bench , and when he mig ht reasonably dispense with a compulsory attendance on the proceedings of tho houie , " and , with this feeling on my mind , " said the noble lord , «« I cannot sit down on this occasion without th anking all my noble friends , personal as well as political , for the warmth and the cordiality of the support which from them I have constantly experienced . ( Hear , hear . )

      But I must further add , that 1 shall quit this house with a feeling that lam deeply indebted to the house at large , and , I will say . to all the noble lords opposite , for the invariable kindness , courtesy , and forbearance with which they have uniformly received me . ( Hear , hear . ) It has always been my wish , —and it will always continue to be my wish , —to see observed in the proceedings of this house that absence of all violence of temper and of all acrimonious feeling , which 1 am sure is essential to the dignity of your lordships ; and if I have contributed in any degree to the maintenance of that dignity it will be a source of constant satisfaction to me , convinced , as I am , that it is by observing that mode of proceeding your lordships will best

      maintain that authority in the country which you derive from its constitution—an authority which ( whatever may be said to the contrary ) I believe all the sane parts of the country wish you long to enjoy . I say , my lords , the sane part of the country—for all that portion . of the public has had occasion to see , within the last few years , that there ia no country in the world with institutions similar to yours , and that where they have existed , and have been hastily abolished , it has been found much easier to destroy than to reconstruct them . ( Cheers . ) The noble marquis concluded his graceful and dignified speech , which was cheered from both sides of the house , by moving that the house on its rising should adjourn till Friday next .

      The Earl of MiLMEsnunt was sure that the house would agree with him ia expressing the pride and pleasure it had felt at the address of the noble marquis , whose words would long be remembered as coming from the highest authority in experience , dignity , and courtesy which the house possessed . He trusted it would be long before their lordships were deprived of the valuable assistance which the Marquis of Lansdowne was able to afford in its deliberations . The motion of Lord Lansdowne was then agreed to , and their Lordships adjourned until Fridav . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The Speaker took the chair at four o clock , when there was a very large attendance of members , the Tory benches being more than usually thronged ; and by half-past five every available seat on both sides was occupied .

      About half an hour after the meeting of the house , Mr . Disraeli entered , and took his seat in his usual place—on the front or leading opposition bench . Sir F . Baring and Sir G . Grey immediately followed , and in a few minutes afterwards Lord John Russell , and took their seats on the treasury bench , beside Mr . Hayter , Mr . C . Lewis , and some other of the subordinate members of the outgoing government who had been present from tbe first . Lord Palmerston , who came down some quarter of an hour later , occupied a seat on the lower front bench below the gangway on tbe ministerial side of the house . Mr . Heard , tbe new member for Kinsale , took his seat . A number of private bills were disposed of , in lb © midst of a ceaseless hum of conversation , which drowned the Speaker ' s voice . On coming to the South Yorkshire Railway and River Dun Company Bill ,

      Lord Galwat moved that the bill be read that day six months , - and amid the loud and incessant hum of conversation , proceeded to address the house with an apparent animation and earnestness which strangely contrasted with the inattention of a large proportion of the members , who were evidently absorbed in the discussion of topics possessing more general interest . This gave rise to a discussion , in which several members interested in the bill took an almost unheard part by the bulk of those present , who would have been much more impatient than they were , however , had it not been a railway job . At length , as five o clock drew near a division was loudly called for , and the bill was thrown out by a large minority .

      THE MINISTRY . Lord J . Russell rose and said , that at a meeting of her Majesty ' s Ministers on Saturday , they bad considered the course which it was incumbent upon them to pursue , it appearing impossible for them to carry on the business of the country satisfactorily after the decision of the preceding night . Declining the alternative of a dissolution , tbey had determined to lay their resignation before her Majesty . They had done so ; her Majesty had been pleased to accept their resignations , and had sent to the Earl of Derby , who was about to undertake tbe task of forming a ministry . Tbe present ministers , therefore , held their offices only until their successors were appointed . He could not , he added , conclude what ho had to say without expressing his sincere thanks to those members who had supported the government for more than five years , during which period , he hoped , he and his colleagues had so conducted the affairs of the country as not to leave any great branch of our domestic administration or our foreign relations in a situatiom which thev need at all to be ashamed

      of . After paying a particular trioute to one of his colleagues , the Marquis of Lansdowne , for tho manner in which he had carried measures of great importance through the House of Lords , Lord John proceeded to indicate to the new ministry and the country the policy he iutended to pursue in opposition . I do not wish to recur to past events , or indeed to dwell on anything which may raise a difference of opinion now in this house . ( Hear . ) As to the future , I shall only say that 1 shall think it my duty to oppose , out of office , as I have opposed in office , any restoration of the duties on

      corn—( loud cheering)—whether under the name of Protection or ofrevenne . ( More cheering . ) That I shall think it my duty to support an extension of the suffrage to those who are fitted to exercise the franchise for the welfare of the country , believing as I do that such an extension will add strength and solidity to our parliamentary system . ( Great cheering . ) I will say farther that I shall always use the little influence that I may possess , for the maintenance of the blessings of peace . ( Loud cheers . ) He concluded by moving , at the request of the Earl of Derby , that the house at its rising adjourn till Friday .

      Mr . Hume said , that the experienced members of that house were aware that the course now proposed was that usually taken on similar occasions , for it was only fit and proper that those who were entrusted with tho government shouU have time to make their arrangements ; but be rose to express a hope that , should the house meet on Friday , the new ministry would give an explanation of the policy intended to be pursued by them . ( Hear , hear . ) He said this because he had heard it rumoured that it was not intended that the house should meet again . As a person indifferent to both parties , he could only say that , if the new ministry brought forward good measures , he would support them , but , if " bad , he would oppose them . He made these observation as an independent man and an advocate of progressive liberal measures , carrying out free trade beyond the point to which it was yet carried . ( Hear , and some laughter from the Protectionist benches . ) But , if the new ministers intended to recur to the old system , let them have the manliness to declare so , and let them not make an appeal to the country without allowing the people to know what their policy was .

      The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn to Friday was then put and carried ; and tbe house imraed ately afterwards was formally adjourned at twenty-fire minutes to six o ' clock .

      ( From our Second Edition of last week . ) FRIDAY , Feh . 27 . HOUSE OF LORDS .-TUB Policy , or irns Sew Mikisrnr . —The Earl of Debet opened the business of the sitting by explaining the motives which had induced him to accept office , and the course be intended to adopt . Though quite unprepared for the resignation of his predecessors at the time it took place , seeing no prospect of any other government being speedily formed , and no advantage in the restoration of the Ministry just resi gned , he felt it to be his duty , —though fully aware of all the difficulties of the position , —to accept the task of forming an administration With regard to the future policy of hit government , he was convinced of the importance of maintaining peace ; but he believed peace could bo best maintained by oursuina tn .

      wards all foreign powers a calm and temperate course of conduct , in words and expressions , as well as in acts —and by adhering with strict fidelity to the letter of the oblipa . tions imposed upon us by treaty , —by respecting the independence of all nations , —and their right to managa their own internal affairs . Though he should rejoice to see other nations following our example in the establishment of free institutions , we had no right , as a nation , to display prejudice against the form of government adopted by any country , be it absolute despotism , limited monarchy , or a constitutional republic . A good understanding with foreign nations , which was of the highest importance to ug-could be only preserved by our maintaining the strictest neutrality in

      their uiternal affairs . Our navy was never more efficient than now-he believed it was fully equal to the guarding of our shores , aud the protecion of our colonies and commewe m every pare of the world . And , while the military gervice was efficient for all its purposes , it was not so large «««« ° w Jf ™ " ( or , eal 0 UBy and distrust « foreign £ £ 1 "' /^ Pwcated tbe attempt to create an invasion K * i 88 ld : ~~ T T more confident I feel of tbe peace of ££ ?& . }? m ° re I ?^ x ? n J 0 « lordships tbe imperative necessity of now , at this time , and not when the next ap-$ liTill " ! & ?

( Hear , hear . ) For thefmJntenanra of

      Mosday, Fbh. 9x House Of Lords.-Therew A...

      the tranquillity of / this country , no regular or ir . regular military force Was "Mr to be required . With regard to foreign refugees in this country , while adhetlna to the principles of our constitution , he eaid :-With the disturbances and distractions of foreign countries we have nothing to do ; but when from those difficulties and distractions , exiles and fugitives reach the shores o » this country , they always have had a right ioremair . . and I hope we always shall continue to exhibit the game frank and generous hospitality . But I ffty- also , on the other band , that it is the bounder faty of all those who choose , flying from misfortunes , in their own country , here to find a safe and secure a » . pium—I say it is their bounden duty not to abuse the rig hts given to them—not to compromise , at all eyent « » tha interests of the country which has received

      them to her hospitable arms , by carrying on here measures against their own country , which they think they can carry on with comparative safety under the shelter of the English laws . I say further , it is not only right , but it is the duty of her Majesty ' s government without descending to a system of—thank God , we have no English word for it—of espiennage and surveillance , which is averseto the feelings of the country . I say it is our duty to keep a guard over the movements of such persons , who may be disposed to abuse our hospitality ; and I say , if any steps hostile to their native country on the part of those persons come to the knowledge of her Majesty ' s government , it is our right and duty to put that foreign government in possession of the facts , and to place them on their guard . ( Hear , hear . ) Further than this ,

      it is not the right it is tbe power of the British government to go ; and if those persons , under any circumstances , and from whatever country , attempt to levy war against their own country , that is by law a punishabl * offence , and it is the duty of her Majesty ' s government to visit such an offence with condign and exemplary punishment . The noble lord , after contrasting the principle on which the British and American tariffs are founded , and expressing his preference for the latter , thus announced his Tiews as to the re-introduction of Protection : —I don ' t brink from expressing again , as I have on former occasions , and repeating in office what I hare stated out of office , that in my individual opinion I see no ground why , from that general system of imposing duties on foreign imports the single article of corn should be made s

      solitary exception . I state this ns my opinion , but at the same time I have always said , and I repeat again , that it is a question which can only be solved by a reference to a well understood and well expressed opinion of the intolli * gent portion of the community . ( Cheers . ) Any possibility , any idea of dealing with a system so vast as the financial policy of the country , including in its range not only duties on foreign imports , tbe custom duties , but also the incidents and pressure of domestic and local taxation , — I say any scheme so large and extensive requires to be dealt with by a government , strong not only in the confidence of the country , but of parliament , and enabled to carry , with the concurrence of parliament and of the country , measures adopted and matured with that degree of deliberation , care and foresight which it ii

      impossible any administration can give to the subject when called on suddenly to deal with public affairs at the commencement of a parliamentary session . Admitting that ho bad not a mnjority in the other house , and doubting whether he possessed a majority in the Lords , he was not disposed at once to interrupt the regular course of legislation . " Under these circumstances- her Majesty's government will have to appeal to the forbearance of its opponents , and to tbe patient indulgence of its friends . But , my lords , I have that confidence in the good sense and judgment of the House of Commons to believe that they will not unnecessaril y introduce subjects of a controversial and party character for the mere purpose of interrupting the course of sound and useful legislation , and driving the government out of a moderate and teinporate course . There are subjects of a useful character which

      m » y be brought under tbe attention of this and the other house of parliament ; and I believe if , avoiding all un « nete'sary party questions , wo apply ourselves to thosa great measures in which the country has long felt an interest—measures of legal reform , simplifying and improving the administration of justice ; measures of social reform , for improving tbe condition and comfort of the people—I believe that , even as a minority in the Hmse of Commons , we shall not Uselessly , or dis . honourably conduct th » government . " Among the social measures , he excluded , however , one important bill . "I do not include one which her Majesty ' s lat « government thought it necessary to call the attention of parliament to . It was announced by the late government that they intended to introduce , and I believe tbey did introduce into the other house of parliament , three measures

      in some degree connected with each other . The first for the disfranchisement of a borough notoriously corrupt ; tht fecoud , for facilitatingthe means of examining into , and correcting and controlling these corruptions in other boroughs , and the third measure comprising a somewhat miscellaneous assortment of topics , but containing , as its leading feature , large and extensive alterations in the elective system , and tbe- tlectoral districts , ( Hear , hear . ) He would do all in his power to oheok bribery , " but , " he continued , " I entreat your lordships , and if lam speaking in the presence of any of them , I would entreat the members of the other house of parliament , and I would entreat the country , seriously to consider the incalculable danger to the true liberties of the country , of incessantly , time after time , unsettling everything and settling

      nothing , rendering the country dissatisfied with that which is , without in the slightest degree removing that dissatisfaction by that which you nropose to substitute . I believe , for the purpose of improving the education of the country , no extension of the suffrage is necessary , or will have tha slightest effect on it . I feel , and 1 rejoice to feel , that the feeling of the community at large , the conviction of all classes , high and low , rich and poor , is this—they have come to the conclusion that the greater the amount of education you are able to give and the mora widely you can spread that education throughout tha masses of tho community , the greater chance there is for the tranquillity , happiness , and well-being of the country . ( Hear . ) But when I use the word ' education , ' don ' t let me be misunderstood . I don ' t moan the mere development

      of the mental faculties , the mere acquisition of te ' mporal knowledge and mere instruction , useful no doubt , as it may be , which may enable a man to improve his condition in life , and may give him fresh tastes and habits , and th « means and opportunity of gratifying those tastes and habits ; but , valuable as that may be , when I speak of education I speak of this alone—education involving the cultur * of the mind and the soul , laying the basis and foundation of all knowledge upon the knowled ge of tho Soripturo , Ministers would consider it their duty to uphold and maintain the church in all its integrity , not by penal enactments , but by resisting all attempts at agression , and bv

      lending the power of the state to support and extend its influence " The noble lord concluded with the following peroration . " I hope I have fully stated the principles on which we propose to conduct the administration ; reserving only such details as are not now necessary . My lords , for my own part , when I look to the difficulties which surround us , —when I look to the various circu i > stances which must combine to give us a chance of successfully encountering the various great obstacles that impede our path , I confess that I am appalled by the magnitude of the difficulties of the task which I hare undertaken ; but I believe that the destinies of a nation are in the hands of an over-ruling Providence ; and I know that it often is thn

      pleasure of that Great Being to effect his own hi gh objects by weak and unworthy means . In his presence I can solemnly declare , that no motive of personal ambition has led me to disregard tbe difficult position in which the government is placed .

      Central Co-Operative Agency, 76, Charlot...

      CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGENCY , 76 , Charlotte-street , Fttzroy Square . Weekly Report , Feb . 17 th to Feb . 24 th . The Agency transacted business with the following Stores .: —Ullesthorpe , Leeds , Manchester , Braintree , Middlesborough , Banbury ,- Birmingham , Heywood , Woolwich , Glasgow , Swindon , Portsea , Galashiels , Edinburgh , and Norwich . A package of samples of cobourgs alpacas , & c , have been consigned to the Agency from the Bradford Co-operative Store , and are now on view at their offices . The Agency are in continual receip t of demands for prospectuses , catalogues , and rules , from Co-operative Stores in course of establishment in different parts of England , Scotland , and Wales .

      The report of the official accountant on the books of the Agency for the first nine months , has just been sent in , and the principal statements will be mentioned in the yearly report of the partners to the trustees and supporters o f the establishment , which is in course of preparation , and will be ready in the beginning of April . The last weekly report £ stated the mode of distributing bonuses to the customers of the Agency . Some analagous arrangements have been proposed by the Agency to their wholesale customers . Hitherto the large and daily increasing business of the establishment has been carried on by the Agency paying cash for everything , and only upon the capital advanced by its founders . Now It

      may be said that the first experiment which was tried at the risk of the founders , has proved successful , and the time has come when the increase of the grocery business , the convenience of giving more extension either in London or in the counties , to the counteracting of adulteration , and to start several new departments of the Agency must be provided for by an accession of capital coming from the supporters and customers of the Agency . To that effect some proposals are in contemplation , which will be made known at the next general meeting . This new aspect of the business is the more worthy of attention , as any increase of capital would enable the Agency to make some efforts for opening a new field not less important for the success of the Co-operative principle , —namely , the sale of the produce of the different associations .

      LEEDS REDEMPTION SOCIETY . We have this week given a lecture on Co-operation in the room usually devoted to Theological disputation , but by keeping clear of debateable grounds of that nature ^ ourselves , we kept others off also . The room was well filled . Co-operation , it was generall y admitted in the debate , was quite unimpeachable—a position we hold ourselves ready to defend in our locality . I trust that Co-operators generall y will weigh well our moyement , our annual report which you gave last week , and what our ^ estate might be the means of doing for , and with the stores , by carrying on some manufacture for them .

      To The Chartists Of Great Britain Scotla...

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN SCOTLAND , AND WALES . Brother Chartists , —In the history of every great mivement there is a period of depression ; in the history of every great movement there is a time when even the most sanguine falter , doubt , and despair of ultimate success . It is , however , the fate of things human , is natural , to be therefore looked for , encountered , and overcome , In the history of our own movement we have reached a period not only of deep depression , when the strong of heart tremble and the strong of faith doubt , but of what is infinitely more to be deplored—of internal discord , treachery

      , and treason . Alas ! we have lived to See those we most loved and trusted turn upon and revile us ; the power we placed at their disposal prostituted ; the great cause of progress and of humanity , in their bands , brought into disrepute ; and ourselves , as a party , into contempt and derisionf Brothers , shall these things continue to be ? How much longer shall we stand before tbe country as a living lie ? Shall the manacled patriots look back to-us from their dis " . taut penal prison-houses with reproachful eyes , and , as they sink beneath the weight of their sorrows and their chains , say , " they have forgotten the trust we bequeathed them ?" Forbid it , Heaven , Justice , Humauitv . '

      Let us , then , make one more great effort for the regeneration o ! Chartism—good , old , practical Chatihm—for love of which our brothers , in the old time , went into dungeons , exile , and to death . The country has already ca'led upon the Executive to summon a Convention , and the Executive has refused a demaud at once reasonable and necessary . And wherefore ? Alas , they—the Executive—know ' they have done those things which they ought not to have done , and those things which they ought to have done have left undone . " Is it not enough to say they will call a Convention when the pecuniary liabilities of the party are discharged ? The last Convention defrayed its own expenses , a Convention

      now could do the same . But they know a Convention would be their deposition , and they would rather strangle the movement than loose the gripe accident has given them upon it . Chartists of the United Kingdom , that which the Executive has refused to do for us let us do for onrselves . Let the localities speak out b y resolution ; let them say at once , and definitely , and within the next ten days yea or nay , we can or we cannot , we will or v ? e will not . Send a delegate to a Convention to be holden in Manchester , or any other central place , on say , the 5 th of A pril next . Chartists , will you do this ? Will you make one more effort to snatch the movement from the barkers ? It is in the bands of enemies , the more deadly because of their affected friendship .

      To the rescue then , Brothers ! to the rescue ! Let , the north and south , let Scotland and Wales , give us but One sign ; let every locality say , and say now , ™ will have a Convention !

      WORSHIP-STREET .-A Wanton Acr .-Edward Danie ! s wa , charged with the following wanton act : —A furrier named Law ! rence , residing : in Aylesburj . street , Clerkehwell , stated that on tbe preceding evening he went to witness the performances atthe Uri . tannia Saloon , Hozton , ivlrch was so crowded that he was obliged to take a seat in the pit close to the back , which brought him in a direct line with the front of the gallery . Near bim was seated a young man named Wilkinson , who with himself was repeatedly an . noyed by pieces of orange peel and other such missiles being flung down upon them , and this nuisance so much increased towards tea o ' clock that he looked up to ascertain the persons who so miscou . ducted themselves , and saw the prisoner leaning over the front rail with a pewter pot in his hand , in which there was ovidentji something vevj heavy . This . from the manner in which the pruontr held it , caused him so much apprehension that he kept bis eve on

      him , and directly after saw him . tilt the pot upside down and dj . liberately drop out of it a stoneware gingerbeer bottle upon the pe ? . " pie below . The bottle unfortunately descended upon the lu-ad of the young man Wilkinson , whom it struck with such force as to Jav his skull open in a very terrible manner , inflicting a gash near three inches in lengtb , and causing the blood to pour out in such profusioa as to completely saturate his clothes . Tlie young man was name , diately carried out of the bouse by his friends and supported into the shop ot a neighbouring surgeon , by whom the wound was dressed , but he was found to be in such a dangerous state as to render his attendance impossible . The witness added , that the act was manifestly intentional , and he could not possibly be mistaken in the prisoner ' s identity , as upon seeing the serious conseq uences nf

      it upon the head of Wilkinson , he called out to the prisoner that he had nearly killed him , and the prisoner , so far from expressini ; ro gretfor the occurrence , merely turned round and laughed at him One of the acts of the performance was at that time nearly finished ' and upon its conclusion he ascended to the gallery with an officer ' and at once pointed out the prisoner as tbe author of the wanton mischief . — Butler , the constable of the theatre , also deposed to the condition of the young man Wilkinson , and stated , that although upon apprehending the prisoner he stoutly denied that he hadnw . petrated the act , he offered to pay any money rather than be taken into custody upon the charge , and finely tendered half-a-crown at compensation ; but his overtures were of course rejected , and he was forthwith transferred to the station . The prisoner was re manded , but admitted to bail .
