      SfMEBS Tows , Bricklayers' Arms , Tonbridgestreet . —On Sunday evening Mr . Finlen lectured on tbe "Purgatory of Suicides . " Mr . T . M . Wheeler occupied the chair . The lecturer commenced by alludmir to the matter of fact prosaic nature of man in the present day , which rendered poetry at a discount , more especially poetry that partook greatly of ideality . Thomas Cooper had admirably combined ideality with mechanism , and addressed iimself to the circumstances of the day , as well as explored the vast caverns of njjthologJcal and classical lore . Tbe lecturer dwelt upon the high euloi'ioms which , even his opponents , had been compelled to pay to tbe genius of Cooper , and

      reeked inai > y of tbe most beautiful passages in bis work with great effect . Tie concluded au eloquent » ddrc .-s by giving an extract from tbe poem , showins the ineffieacy of death punishment as a moral agent , and urged upon his auditors the necessity of exerting themselves to procure itsabolition . After the lecture , a spirited discussion took place on tbe merits of the different descriptions of verse , and their i-ff < T . t upon the general public , iu which Messrs . Weekes , Hornby , Slocombe , Bryant , Hump hries , Hi ggis , Dent , and Wheeler , took part . The lecturer tben replied , and the meeting adjourned with the usual compliments to the lecturer and chairman .

      > " ewcastlb . —On the 22 nd inst . an out door meetins was held in St . Nicholas-square , which was addressed by Messrs . Watson and Gunn . On Sunday morning a public meeting was held on the fyi ay . Mr . M'LeO'l reviewed Lord Palmerston ' s assertion , that opinions were stronger than armies . He * .-u > 'allowed by Mr . Charlton , who delivered his firwtaddress on the Programme adopted by the late Chartist Convention . He commenced by stating that he chose this as his subject , seeing thai a priestly critic , sheltering himself under the title of "Sydney . " had been characterising this Prt »» nanme , " through the columns of the Keivcastle CJreinV * , as " more absurd and ridiculous than any that bad yet been put forth by the Chartists ,

      and thai it was more calculated to retard , than to advance real reform . " Mr . Charlton , after dwelling at some length upon the policy pursued by tbe Manchester party , proceeded to aualyse the first part of the Programme , and showed that the Chaner should be a ? itHted for in its entirety . The Parliamentary and Financial Reformers had furnished a better argument against themselves than any he could adduce in this disgraceful " count out , " when Mr . Hume ' s motion was to have been tronghc forward . After adducing other arguments why t-Jie people should go for the whole Charter , the speaker proceeded to show that it was unjust to deprive any person of the vote who had been convicted of crime , and paid the penalty of the law attaebf-d to that crime , as in many cases what constituted crime according to tbe Jaw was not crime in reality ; and be instanced the Game Laws , bv which a poor man , if found poaching on tbe

      estate of the Bake of Xortbunibfrrland , was liable to transportation . Mr . C . next showed the importance of installing Chartists in municipal and parochial offices , and insisted , that unenfranchised though they were , they still possessed power sufficient to influence the election , if properly applied . Be appealed to them to support the Polish and Hungarian Refugees located in Xewcastle , and concluded by asking them to maturely deliberate upon vhat he had said , and if , after so doinsr , they ehonM find nothing " absurd and ridiculous , " to j » in with the Chartists , and assist in the struggle for liberty . The address lasted nearly two horns A resolution was then proposed and carried : — " That , a public demonstration of t ! : e friend * « f democracy from Darlington , Stockton , Il 2 nle } io ..

      Address Of The Finsbuby Locality Of The ...

      ADDRESS OF THE FINSBUBY LOCALITY OF THE NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION TO THE INHABITANTS OP THE BOROUGH

      OF FINSBURY ; FRtKSns and Fbixow Citizens , — "We claim your attention while we state our reasons for being Charti-its , and why yon should be Chartists also ; and what other measures are in our opinion necessary to ensure the comfort and well-being of every citizen when the Charter shall be the law of the land , to the intent that you may know the truth , and not be led astray by tbe lies of the Times , or any other of our enemies' devices .

      We believe , first , that God created all men free and equal , and that all men have and ought to possess certain rights , the first of which is , the right to live by labour . We conceive that when God placed man on the earth , and gave it him for a possession , that the land became tbe inheritance of the whole human race , and has no right to be held by a small faction of mankind to the exclusion of the majority . The labour of tbe able-bodied pauper is wasted uselessly and thoughtlessly in workhouses , eating up the poor-rates , which are yearly , increasing . f when that same labour , if applied to increase

      the productive powers Of the soil , would in a few years create and foster a good home trade , enable them to support themselves by their industry , and reduce the poor-rates to a very small amount , since they wonld only be required for the very young , the aired , infirm , and incapable poor , who by age or affliction are unable to labour for their maintenance . Thus , Shop-keepers , would Chartism lessen the poor-ratf s , and , in the same ratio , increase your prosperity . We demand the People ' s Charter whole and entire ; since it is , like a machine , useless unlesss all its parts are in their proper position . -

      We demand Universal Suffrage , because it is just that which concerns all , and should be approved of by all ; and that as in time of war all men are compelled to serve their country by enlistment , enrolment , or impressment , it is but just and proper that they should have a voice in making the laws they are called upon to obey . We demand tbe Ballot , as a shield for the honest voter , to protect him from any undue influence on the part of his landlord , employer , or others , and because such disgraceful scenes as occurred at the St . Albans and Falkirk elections lately , could not occur then , since it would be useless to bribe when all votes must be given in secret .

      We demand the Abolition of the Property Qualification , on the ground that God has not given a monopoly of common-sense to the rich and left the poor stupid ; and because without this the Charter would be a nullity , since it would prohibit a poor man from serving his country ia parliament We demand Annual Parliaments , because twelve months is long enough to be troubled with a knave or an incapable member , and because an honest aud useful member would be sure of bis re election . We demand theequalizationof Electoral Districts , on tbe ground that men should be represented , and not bricks and mortar ; and because it is unjust and absurd that Harwich , a constituency mwer 300 , should have the same weisbt in the decisions of the House of Commons as Finsbnry with a constituency of more than twenty times the number .

      We demand that the Representatives of the Peop le shall be Paid for their Services , since it is unjust for any one to labour without being paid for it , and by admitting this principle , members would be independent of the smiles or frowns of a ministry : Wc demand a General Amnesty for tbe Political Exiles and Prisoners of Great Britain and Ireland , believing that whatever crime in the eyes of the government they may have been guilty of in attempting to liberate their country , that the punishment they have already undergone is amply sufficient to atone for the crime of loving their country " if not wisely at least too well . " Remembering the deaths of Sharp and Willums by starvation ; honouring that great and glorious patriot John Mitchel ; honouring also William Cuflay , T . F . Meagher , Frost , Smith

      O'Brien , Ellis , and all our other exiled brothers , — we call upon you to come forward and join us in a peaceful and constitutional agitation for the attainment of the People ' s Charter and a General Amnesty for all Political Offenders . Working Men ! we desire you will turn a deaf ear to those who predict that the Chartists intend , iu conjunction with foreigners , to revolutionise the country . On the part of the Chartists of Finsbury we repudiate the assertion as a wilful and malicious falsehood . If Englishmen , Irishmen , and Scotchmen cannot obtain their tights for themselves they are unworthy of them ,. and had better cease-agitating altogether . We wish fora revolution in mind and knowledge ; we wish to injure no one ; to plunder no one ; to rob no one ; but we wish to increase the happiness of all mankind from the peer to the peasant .

      We therefore demand the People's Chaiter as a rae . ics to an end , and that end the social and democratic sore eignty of tbe people . Whilst we respect a conscientious difference of opinion , we cannot consistently advocate or support any measure of reform short ol the People ' s Charter , but , at the same time , will not factiously oppose those who may advocate a less measure of reform . Advocating the absolute freedom of speech , save when calculated to cause a breach of the peace , and of the press , we shall be found zealously co-operatirisr for the repeal of the taxes on knowledge . We believe that m « ny changes are in store for Continental Europe ; and whilst struggling for the liberty of our own laud , we desire to assist , as far as lies iu our power , all nations or peoples who may be struggling for their rights , liberties , or independence .

      W «> propose to spread our principles by means of public nieetines , lectures , discussions , tracts , bandhills , and sucli other modes as may be deemed necessary . We call upon you , Working Men , to rally as one man beneath our ensign , —tiie flag of a free , grand , and glorious future : fhe flag of the Charter , social aud democratic . ¦

TO THE BMTOS OP THb .. „ f theRe . out , — -l beg to tender the thanks v . fugeestothe readers of this paper , f ? 5 tbema acts of kindness evinced towards them onmau ^ occasions , and also to the friends at Norwich , for theif sympath y in taking two more Refugees ; and flatter myself that others will lend their aid , and copy the example of the friends at ^ Norwich , who have now four men as shoemakers . There are others at Tummill-Btreet who are anxious for employment , either with the pen or the spade , and good references can be given as to their industrial habits .

      Some of them have received letters from America of a very g loomy description from those who emigrated there . Turnmill- Btreet is open to democrats of every nation , and many have called for temporary relief . Strict equality is carried out , and no distinction is made , which often g ives offence to the aristocratic party . I once more appeal to you as brothers to lend yonr helping hand . Most of the men speak a little English , and 1 am anxious to see them in a position to ears their own bread , and not subsist on subscrip tion . Had it not been a mild winter , God only knows what would have been the result . Citizens ,

      brothers , sisters , once more I appeal to you in the name of humanity , to assist these unfortunate patriots . Had they repudiated their principles every man would have received assistance . All subscriptions should be directed to Tummill-street , to prevent mistakes . Yours , & c , T . Brown .

      The Irish Exiles.—Ou Monday Evening A So...

      The Irish Exiles . —Ou Monday evening a soiree was held at the Hi ghbury Barn Tavern , to commemorate the anniversary of John Mitchel ' s conviction , and to form the basis of an Irish society , for the purpose of co-operating in the creation of a sound public opinion , and the agitation of useful reforms . The meeting was a very numerous and orderly assemblage , upwards of 500 persons sitting down to tea . There were a large number of elegantly dressed women whom the attraction of the ball , with which the evening

      or rather the morning was to close , had brought together . Letters was read from Charles Gavau Duffy aud other well known political characters . . The greatest hilarity and good humour prevailed , aud it was not until daylig ht that the company separated . * Stbikb of Sir Eliunaii Aumitage and Soks' Workmen . —In consequence of a re " port having appeared in the Manchester Conner ; stating the termination of this strike , and which statement also appeared in this journal , a correspondent informs us that such is not the case : Nearly all the old hands are still on strike , not more than twenty-seven out of about 400 having as yet beenengaged .

      Thomas Cooper ' s Tour . —We learn that the author of The Purgatory of Suicides has taken leave of his London audiences for six mouths . Durinsr the last week he has been addves / iDg crowded auditories in Manchester . Sext week he proceeds to Belfast for a fortnight ; and from thcuco to Glasgow . How Ion" he remains in Scotland is uncertain ; but we make no doubt that the Friends of Progress in that wvt of the country will hasten to secure his services . Mr . Cooper ' s address Hi Glasgow will be " Care of Mr . Clarke 152 , Buccleugli street . "

      , Shocking OccubResck at Stirmno . —About haH-past seven o ' clock on Thursday morning , as some woi'kuu'ii . were proceeding to their employment , their attention was attracted to a window on the seeond floor of a house in ICuis-street , by s . woman named Twit , who was standing with a cimu in her arms , and who seems to have been labouring under a temporary aberration of intellect , calling to them , and asking "If they would 1 / ke to go to heaven ?" . On one of them replying he wouW like to go some time or other , she immediately will d

      exclaimed , " But I am goinjr now , and I ser : my baby first ; " and thereupon she threw the cliuu from the window , from which she precipitated herself almost immediately afterwards , Most providentially one of the men sprang forward , and caught tbe child by the clothes before it reached the ground , and it escaped uninjured . The . woman was immediately carried into the house , and medical attendance having been procured , it was found that though she was much hurt she had made a most remarkable escape , as no fears are entertained for her recovery .

      grinding atone mill ; ' just as when the well-known words were uttered—the "two women " at the labourious , feeble , handstone that crushes the riceblacksmiths puffing away at ' the feeblest of bellows —the potter squatcing among the clay he put * on the wheel — the weaver sitting in a hole , and working with a miserable lot of sticks and strings , weighted by a couple of brickbats—alt feeble squalid , half-naked , labouriousty indolent ; "truly the barbaric East ! " Then there are courts of justice —one native and another European—a festival , with the horrid penance of the swinging hook inserted in the back—and , mostsigniueantof . il ) , tbe tax gatherer ' s encampment ; a group of tents pitched anions mulberry trees , glistening with the yellow cocoons

      and the raisariible cultivators bringing up their rent and tribute to tho official who thus makes his progress through the district . It is possible that to an impartial observer some repre > entation of English industry and of English operatives would afford as strong a contrast as these ; but they cannot fail to suggest the twofold problem , how can a people thus superstitious , miserable , and unmechanical , erect the templ « s and palaces here modelled , not to speak of exquisite carving and embroidery ? and why are the habitations and persons , even the horses of the ruling class , thus loaded with jewellery and cloth of gold , wrapped in shawls of Cashmere , and screened with the finest muslin , while the hundred millions of the population fcedon vice , ate often famished , wear a little coarse cloth , and quietly surrender so much of their produce

      to a foreign tax-gatherer ? We cross the nave and find more food for reflection . Besides another cape of costly trappings , we have a collection of arms —offensive and defensive—made and used by the more warlike tribes : the symbolical scimitar arid round sihield , the creese or crooked danger , bow and arrow , matchlock and musk . it , cannon hideous as well as destructive . Here , too , are the exquisite fabrics of tho looms of Lahore ; and , bolter still , samples of cereal produce , and such recentlydiscovered mineral treasures as coal and a sort of magnetic iron . Specimens of Indian cotton , and models of the rude apparatus employed in its cultivation , transport , aud preparation , are curious and . highly suggestive . The collection , taken altogether , is rich beyond description in food for the senses and for after thought .

      We may now turn into our colonies . The space appropriated to them is not large . Canada is represented in the nave by a . " timber trophy , " or pile of large specimens of the principal American woods , surmounted with an immense piece of whalebone . The show of articles within is very creditable to the spirit and ingenuity of the people , as well as indicative of the natural wealth of British America . Montreal sends a very handsome fire-engine and tender , with horse-trappings and bells attached . A canoe that will seat twenty men , and has actually voyaged 3 , 000 miles , hangs overhead . The sleighs , with their soft fur robes and gay harness , make one Jong for a moonlight drive over the . iee , with an occasional tumble in the snow . South Africa contributes three stuffed

      auinvili— the waterhoc , koodo , and hartboosk—stmt in Katirland , more that 2 , 000 miles from Cape Town , " a ease of beautiful birds , and a number of articles from the interesting kingdom of Dahomey . Gibraltar and Malta send- each a number of very pretty articles , manufactured from straw , palmwood , & c . ; making up an elegant display of bijouterie . From Trinidad we have models of a negro habitation , and from Burbadoes cases of wax fruit perfectly luscious in their naturalness and bloom . The Australias are well exemplified . Specimens of their vegetable , animal , and mineral produce are abundant and precise ; prominent , ot course , are bags of wool and lumps of copper .. A series of pictures of the Burra Burra works appropriately accompany specimens of the ore yielded by that mine of Tasmania !) wealth .

      . Resisting the temptation that is strong upon us , to turn into tbe Bviibh scuiptwe room or the mediaeval court , we pass on to the agricultural implement exhibition . Half a dozen acres , probably , are covered with machinery that baffles enumeration , much more description , for the use of agriculturists . The first announcement that we meet with may serve to exemplify the pretensionsof the whole —it is that of a machine to sow and hoc an acre o turnips in one hour , at the cost of sixpence ' . As wc pass on , we find contrivances for tho aid of the husbandman and the food producer in every stage of their labours , from the draining and ploughing of the soil , to the cixttiiig-up of hay , crushing oats , or grinding corn . Unfortutiutely , spectators are much

      fewer than objects , and-it is only m one or two mst'ihces we can get an explanation of what we wish to underpaid . If the landowner or cultivator content himself with a sneer at this army of wood and iron , ready to aid him in the subjugation of stubborn soils and competition with khvler climDS—a sneer at the " manufacture " of corn , and an ignorant b . 'iast of adherence to good old ways—he will getlittlnof our pity though he be driven to the prairies of the West , or pastures of the South . Now to retrace our steps eastward . Let us walk briskly throug h these remote and thinly-peopled avenut'S—through the southern continent , asross the tropic zones , through Northern Africa , Central Europe , and into America . Now let us mount the

      gallery , seat ourselves on the -benches '' that are beintt very lioiivoniently provided , bpn ' eatb the eagle and flag-of the United States , and around the great organ , * which is in course of removal from the north balcony of the transept . Was ever a more splendid spectacle looked down upon by human eye I The f tunutnitu of the scene is , after all , its cWefosi charm , as man is ever , greater than his greatest work . Sec how the living , streams well up from every recess , ponr dov . m upon every descent , and roll , in a inajtuifketit flood , along the highway ol nations . It is st > t thii silks and muslins , the hand dresses , flowers , and ' feathers , that enrapture

      usthough these make a brave show enough ; but . the faces of which we catch a sight , the hum of conversation that rises up . Wc remember that every one of tho tens of thousands below , lis is a human beina ; , with faculties , intellect ^ emotions—wo dissever the individual from the mass—and see in every one , a throbbing heart and brain , We will not believe that fair faces and elegant dropscs are the indices of thoughtlessness and frivolity . Here is serious gladness , an almost solemn joy—a divinity seems to brood upon the whole , Hefore worse ) ' thoughts can supervene , wc descend ' , and pass out from a scene we hope oft and again to witness .

      thTm ^ oX . or lhera durin * tlieh' ^ ** y >» Three pickpockets were captured at the Exhibition on Monday , two women and one man , who made a sad mistake in co-.. ing thereto exercise their vocation . Tbe women were detected by two Belgian policemen , and from their dialect were evidently provincial thieves . One stated that she wa . s from Edinburgh , and spoke undoubted broad bcotcn . I he other said she came from Cork , but her accent is not Hibernian . The male thior is a Frenchman , and ha ? been "in trouble" before

      He was admirabl y got up for the occasion , with a new hat and coat , » n unexceptionable white waistcoat , and patent leather boots , very smartly made . The uninitiated would have sot him down as a fashionable foreigner come to look . at tbe mob in a philosophic spirit of observation , but a detective with an unfortunate tenacious metnorv for faces recognised him as ho pas-ed through the entrance , and be was followed , observed actively engaged in the mysteries of his profession , and at once removed from the scene of temptation into which he had intruded .

      The Prmce of Wales and Prince Alfred , attended hy Mr . Birch , visited the Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations on Wednesday morning . Toe Flohal Display . —By an early decision of the Royal Commissioners no living thing was to he allowed a place in the building -, but for decorative effect a large part of tho north transept is occupied with shrubi and flowering plants , and thus a most attractive feature is added to that part of the Palace of Industry . The coup d ' mil looking southward from the entrance in Rotten-row , is exceedingly fine and much heightened by the floral show . — Ward , Esq ., of Claphsm , contributes his interesting cases for transporting plants from distant countries . They are placedon eithsr side of the Rottenrow entrance .

      Messrs , J . T . and H . Christie and Co ., hatters , of Oracechurch-street , eave a holyday on Monday to the whole of the persons in their employ ( upwards of COO ) , paying the cost of admission , and also of their conveyance , to and from the building . On Saturday last , from twelve till four o ' clock , the influx of people to the Crystal Palace never ceased for a moment , and 'ome idea of tho vast numbers assembled may be formed from the fact that £ 5 , 078 was taken at the doors . There were thus during the day 20 , 312 persons who paid the 5 s . entrance fee , and the number of seison ticket holders could not have been less than 10 . 000 to 15 , 000 , making altogether from 30 , 000 to 35 , 000 visitors .

      On Monday , to the astonishment of almost everybody , notwithstanding tho fall of price to Is ,, the interior of the Crystal Palace was not ao much crowded as u « ual . A great crush was anticipated , and the consequence was that a comparatively small number came . Up to five o ' clock only 21 , 258 persons entered the building , and the receipts at the doors fell to £ 920 . This , with the sale of season tickets , made a total of £ 900—an immense decline from the amount collected on Satur ' ay . The visitors appeared chiefly to belong to the middle class of society , and few fustian jackets were observed among them .

      On Tuesday ten thousand move shillings were taken at the doors of the Crystal Palace than on Monday , tho receipts rising from £ 920 to £ 1 , 347 . Tho class of visitors was obviously the same . Respectability , in the sense of decorous appearance and hehiiviour—a marked attention to the objects displayed—a determination to explore every part of the collection—were moat pleadingly prominent characteristics . Nothing could be more gratifying than , the quiet and orderly manner in whicli all conducted themselves ; and a new and interesting feature has been added to the concourse of spectators , in the presence of many young people , pome of thorn hardly escaped from childhood . The Queen and Prince Albert , and their guests were present at their usual hour , but remained for some time after the admission of the public , watching their entrance from the north gallery of the transept with apparent great interest aud pleasure .

      On Wednesday the receipts wero £ 1 , 859 4 s ., which shows distinctly enough the gradually-increasing popularity of the display , and gives pretty clear indications of tho crowds that by-and-by may be expected . Season-ticket holders included , there must have been more than 40 , 000 visitors . On Thursday , according to the police returns , 54 , 069 persons visited thc Crystal Palace . Tbe sum taken in shillings at tbe doors was £ 2 , 379 7 s . There wero therefore 47 , 587 people who paid for entering . and 7 , 080 season ticket holders .

      On Friday the receipts at the doors were £ 2 , 830 8 s , The receipts from season tickets amounted to £ 0119 . ? .

      Ambmcujs Rbfohjis in Ladies' Dbbss . —Our columns have already noted the revolution of female dress which has lately sprung up in the United States . Our last fi ' es of Kew York papers give one or two further illustrations of the new rage . An Oswego journal says : — " Quite an excitement was produced at the steam boat landing the day before yesterday , at tho appearance of a couple of ladies with the short Turkish dress , They were travelling in company with gentlemen , and were evidently penple of cultivation . A revolution in female costume is undoubtedly in preparation . There can be nothing more ungraceful than the long drabbling dresses which sweep the streets and ? teps wherever failles more . As a matter of personal comfort the Turkish dress must bo most

      agreeable , in addition-to its beauty . During an antislavery convocation nt Syracuse , again , Mrs . Burleigh and the two Misses Burleigh , thc wife and daughters of tho poet Burleigh , entered the meeting . They were dressed in the new costume that is now being ndopted by the ladies . Tlie upper garment was close fitting , and reached to the knees . Underneath was a loose trousers , reaching io the ankle . The feet-were enclosed in buskins , . and gipsoy t-traw hats crowned all . Tho eyes of the meeting were immediately turned towards the ladies . They walked up leisurely through tho aisle , took their seats upon tho platform , and entered into conversation with AMiy K « lly , George Thompson ( M . P . for the Tower Hamlets ) , and W . L . Garrison . —L'verpuol Paper . " ¦

      Fatal Di'bl . —The Cofonnc newspaper , published : it Roulognc , gives the following particulars of an nffiiir whicli terminated fatnliy oil tllU evening of the 23 rd instant , about , two miles from the town * : — ' * On Wednesday inst four Frenchmen , residents of London , landed from the steamer nt Boulogne with the intention of tcrminat'iitr , ' on French soil , some serious political quarrel whicli had arisen between two of thi'iii . On Friday afternoon the two parties set out for Pont de-Briquos , two travelling per train and two on foot . Arrived at the appointed place , tl'cy entered a warren in thc commune of Condette . Tbe adversaries were placed at a distance of twenty-five steps ; at a given signal the two pistols were discharged , but without result . The seconds re-charged them , and the combatants approached five . stops nearer , Atrain neither was

      struck . Instead of this contest terminating in thc ordinary marmer , the pistols were charged a third time , and the principals brought to within only fifteen steps of each other . This time one of tlie two fell , struck by a ball which pierced Uim through . The unhappy man never spoke a word . The two witnesses of the tragedy and the surviving principal immediately left the spot , and the sencirid of the deceased went fci Pout du Iiriques to seek a suvireon and inform the mayor of what had occurred . Those who hearing ! of tho catastrophe were attracted to the spot , found the bedy iyinj ; on the bank , the hands clasped and pressing the breast . The three survivors , fearing the consequence , returned to Bouloano with all speed , and embarkr-d in the night . The deceased is said to have borne the name of Petit , and to have acted as foreman to a London tailor . "

      The almost undivided attention of the * Execuii fe oi this Association is at present , and must necessarily continue to bo until the approaching trhl , engaged in preparing foy fo 0 defence of thewselves and their co-defendants . Their usual functions are , therefore , in a state ? o abeyance , his , however , most gratif ying to observe , that their unremitting efforts toawaken the working classes to the necessity of union , have not been entirely unavailing . Ther accession of new members to the ranks of the

      Association is rapidly on tho increase . Several numerous and important adhesions have been received within the last fortnight . The Boiler Makers of Crewe have been received as a sort of advanced guard of a much more numerous body , who are shortly to be expected . The Metropolitan Districts of this important bod y , we understand , have the question under consideration . The Linsey Weavers , of Kendal , are also , wo believe , organising a second detachment to those wo announced a fortni ght since . A very numerous section of the Gunlock Forgers and Filers , of Darlaston , have

      also joined the grand army of industry ; and other important divisions of labour are an * nouueed , aa preparing for the same step . Amongst the entire body of the Silk Dressers of England we are happy to find the question is now under consideration ; and we invite the secretaries of the various branches of that trade to forward their addresses , that we may send copies of our rules , & c for their i nformation . We believe the Hammer-men of Manchester and of London , have the same

      subject m consideration ; and wo are proud to learn through Mr . Martin Judo ' s kind letter in tho last week ' s £ far , that the causes—whatever thoy may be—which have hitherto prevented the Miners of Northumberland and Durham , pronouncing in favour of a national union , are gradually giving place to a more dispassionate consideration of the matter ; and we hope to find , in this instance , the example of the Boiler Makers , of Crewe , contagious , and that some of the more advanced sections of that

      important bod y . will no longer wait for that unit y of opinion which , in such cases , it is so difficult—if not impossible—to obtain , but make instant preparations for joining the National Association ; a step which , we believe , would be immediately followed by numerous sections in North and South Staffordshire . With such an encouraging future in the vista , we have little concern for the result of the impending prosecution . Its successful termination would , no donbt , give an immense impetus to this movement , and , we think ,

      would cure for ever tho Perrys' penchant for strikes . An adverse judgment , however we might regret it on personal grounds , would not be without benefit to the cause , because we are morally certain that that adverse judgment cannot affect the principles of the Association , which were conceived in reason and justice , and have always been carried out by the Executive in the same spirit . Legal craft may deduce u criminal intention from any idle word uttered in conversation , or in an unguarded moment of excitement . That such foolish

      expressions may have passed amongst men engaged ia so exciting aud protracted a struggle , is quite within the scope of probability ; but that a case of constructive conspiracy can be eliminated out of such flimsy materials , to satisfy tho consciences of twelve men of common sense , we shall vol believe until we see it . But such a verdict could have no more influence upon our future progress and proceedings than to teach us and our members , on ail future occasions , a greater degree of caution and circumspection , and the necessity of a

      more perfect and rigid discip line being maintained in our army during a period of actual hostilities . Except , therefore , for its trouhle and annoyance , and for the enormous and extravagant costs attending such proceedings , we look upon this Perry dodge with perfect indifference ; but we do really anticipate a complete triumph . We think the unluck y planet which appears to have ruled the destinies of the clique throughout these proceedings will stick to them to the last , and that they will return from the trial to the scone of their oppression chap-fallen and dispirited .

      In the meantime , the trades are nobl y and generously responding to the call which has been made for their assistance . The Stone Masons , with their accustomed liberality and promptitude , have had the subject discussed and decided though all their lodges , and tho larger of two sums proposed voted by a large majority , . Nearl y £ 100 we are informed will thus accrue to the fund . Other large bodies have the matter under consideration , and various smaller divisions of the trades in town and country htive either already responded according to their means , or have promised to do so at an earl y period . The Defence Committee have just issued an

      abstract of the precious indictment , which is intended for wide and extensive circulation , so that those among our friends who may never have been honoured with such a mark of capitalist regard , may have au opportunit y of contemplating this unique specimen of legal ingenuity . Given—tho most slender and meagre material—how far is it capable of being turned , twisted , and tortured into a web , which shall take captive the prejudices , consciences , and common sense of twelve jurymen ? For answer sec a common law indictment for conspiracy . It is sttid , that the " Law is the perfection of reason ; " we think the perfection of humbug would be , in this case tit least , a truer description .

      We again solicit our provincial friends , who we believe are like those in London , assiduousl y working for the cause , to . forward to the Defence Committee as soon ns possible any sums thoy may have in hand , as the cash is now much needed ; and that they will also state what will be tlie probable extent of their ultimate collection , as the character of the dcfenco must by governed h y the extent of tho means at command . We offer no apology for these hints , tho necessity for them will bo obvious , we tliiuk , to all . W . Peel , Secretary . 259 , Tottenham-court-road ,
