      The Ecoxomisixc of _Maxciie , Max ' s Dctv axd Ix-• renEST- —And here wc cannot fail to admire the wisdom of the design , which is doubtless intended , to lead mankind imperceptibly , as it were , into habits and practices uceessary to thc existence of our species . Wc sec that iu the processes of the animal economy , whereby life is sustained , there arc formed , separated , and voided from thc animal organism , Eubstanccs endowed with qualities offensive to our senses , nauseous in proportion to their value , partleularly to the sense of smell , so that wc arc compelled to get rid of them ; aud wliich require of man that he shall put them away , or bury them forthwith , out ofhis sight , in our common parent thc earth . Tlic penalty for thc utter neglect of this duty would be

      famine , pestilential disease , and a train of human ills . " Nevertheless , in these things , thought to be so utterly vile and offensive in their nature , ai'C contained " ycarls of great price , " indeed above any price ; which , if husbanded aud duly commingled with the earth he cultivates , arc the meaus of sustatning life by the production of his food . Let us not say that the fungus is a choice product of the dunghill , without remembering that onr own existence depends upon elemental matter derived from that humble source , llow necessary then it is , tliat wen . and nations should attend to an object of such primary importance to their existence . ' I llow deep the obligation wc arc under to attend to the economising of all thc manures created near our abodes as one of the first of duties .

      Ecoxomt of Max-toe ix F-uxdeks . —Strangers arc perfectly astonished by the frequent manuriues ot the Flemish fanner , and arc led to wonder how ¦ all thc manure is obtained , until they observe more minutely the method of soiling cattle , Ac . In every town and village you observe the greatest cleauiinc _** , for tlieir pavements and all dirty places arc carefully swept with brooms , and hourly resorted to by professed scavengers as sources of profit ; every particle ot -vegetable or animal refuse is sought out with great

      avidity for this purpose ; and in Flanders , as in China , manure is quite an article of trade . Thc selling price of each description is accurately defined . Towns let thc _clcansnis of the streets aud publie retiring plr . ee *; at great rates ; and we arc informed "b y M . Ci-- * _i'tal , "that there arc in even * town sworn brokers expressly for the purpose of valuing nightsoil ; and that _thtsc brokers know tbe exact degree vif fermentation in that manure which suits every kind of vegetable at thc different periods of its growth . "

      Gow Loners . —If then tbe collection , and applica tion to ihe soil of all thc manure created near our abodes is the chief point , the very foundation of good "husbandry , a few practical directions derived from _v-qicrit-iia * , with hints relative to affairs . of such im--portanee , may be acceptable to the reader . The _commenceinciu of the manufacture of manure is in the cattlc-iiousc , therefore let every exertion be made to have the place complete . Let the building itself stand high and dry , and if possible let thc animals stand at either end of it ,- facing each other , with a paved _Toa-Wav betwixt for thc convenience of fecd-_ l £ _tlieni . This road-way nnwt be a thoroughfare with spacious doorways , so that your forage cart may pass completely through the building , and as it goes along , thc attendant may toss green feed ou either hand to lhc cattle .

      l _* E- _ _* is « Tnor .-ns . —They ought to be fed out of sionc . c-r _i-rick-troi-fc Linus or troushs ; the former may he easily formed by placing a double row of ikig-st < mcs on both sides of the thorouehfare and nearly across the cow-house , _Yiartly within the ground , at about thirty inches from each other , with the roiv _ncorest cither side of such thoroughfare standiii " - ¦ bout _-i yard above the hW , and that nearest th " cattle _alwat two feet . Let thc bottom ami thc enclosed space so _ionnctl , be paved and divided with stones at convenient distances ; when , wi th a _li-dit rail of wood running round the top and bolted _tot' _-e stones , a -erics of feeding troughs will be formed and lield hrmiy _together . i

      _GtrnEus , _ c , wmiix the Cow Lodge . — -The coirs may be ranged with the binns in front , and tied in the * usual _uuuaier . 'ihcy must enter at a door of _-irilfnary size , close in each Comer of the building , and pass along the group to their stalls , while . it the corner opposite a small opening provided with a door must be left for the _ejectiou of their manure . This _{ rroup _, as it is termed in Yorkshire , or space behind thc cattle , must be at least four feet broad , most accurately paved , aud the joints well cemented . The i pavings ought to be laid down vnon clay paddle , or we _ raniaicd earth , and must incline to a channel or gutter cut out of the solid , to a depth of two inches , In stones laid down in one continuous line , upon well -rammed clay puddle , and jointed with thc best cement . Tbis line of stones must have an inclination to the manure hole , and pass under it , through tiie wall , |

      so that the liquid manure may mn freely from the floor , where it is received from the cattle and _attor--vavds be collected in , and conveyed by the gutter to the tank , placed for itsreceptton without the

      building . Cincr _» io . v or Am ix TnE Cow Lodge . —With two spacious doorwavs in front , and onc of common size behind , and tbe manure holes , but all of tbcm placed so that no currents of cold air from without may come in contact with tbe animals , wc may depend on a free circulation of the atmosphere , and tbat tbe internal temperature , in summer , will be more _agreeable and cooler , in general , than that without . In summer time tliese doorways may remain quite open daring tbe day , and be only closed at night by open wicket gates , to prevent intruders ; in winter , ol conr . se by tight doors .

      C ' OXVEXIEXCE OF A _WEIX-AnitASGEn Cow LODGE . — In feeding cattle , the attendant will find the cowhouse thoroughfare most convenient . With his cart , in the summer months , be may enter at one door and pass between two rows of his cattle , serve them with rreen food , and deposit the remainder upon thc floor for future use , passing , without turning round , through the opposite door . In winter , with bis handharrow full of turnip mash , or boiled roots , he may , with bis shovel , ser \ 'fc out , by throwing veto the stone troughs to each cow , her allotted portion of food , placing , as occasion requires , hay or straw in the same receptacle , with the greatest ease and advantage to himself .

      The _PiccEar axd Pmvt . —The piggery ought to be placed at one end of the eow-bouse , the privy * at the other , the latter furnished with an adjoining covered shed , ie ., wherein night-soil composts may be formed , and with a urinal far the reception of whatever chamber-lye is made in the dwellings , or on tbe premises . The piggery must be furnished with a yard , -reaching to the back of tbe cow-house , and both offices must have gutters to convey the fluids , voided in them , to the composting yard channels , and thence to the tank .

      _Co-ros-rrsG Yard . —The commencement of the manufacture of manure will be within these offices or cattle lodges , thc continuation of its manufacture in the composting yard , which ought to be placed on a lower level , anil immediately behind thc cow-bouse . I would enclose this important place , from the main farm yard , by a wall six feet high , of a semi-circular form , and nicely coped , reaching from the external wail of the piggery to that ofthe privy , and embracing a roomy space , taking up on one side the length of the cow-house and breadths of the pig yard and privy shed . An opening must be left in the centre of it , which I woidd close by a rustic door , of neat homely manufacture . From thb entrance , a paved _roadauoutfivcorsix feet broad , edged with flag-stones , and standing about three feet above the surface , may be formed up to the back door of the cow-house thoroughfare , so that a cart may pass through tbe vard and the cow-house without turning round .

      Agricultural Chemistry. (Continued From ...

      AGRICULTURAL CHEMISTRY . ( Continued from our lost . ) COMIICSTIOX , BEnCCTIOX , DECOMPOSITION , _ C . S 2 . _CoMiiusTiox . —1 . If a piece of iron wire be made red hot in oxygen gas , it burns with splendour , and increases in weight;—thc oxygen combines with the iron , and an oxide of iron is thc result . This oxide weighs as much as the iron and oxygen together . 2 . When iron is violently heated hi a smith ' s forge , it burns , in like manner , atthe surface , until it becomes covered with a scaly oxide . In both instances a real _-omfrtitfioii takes place , oxygen is absorbed , and much heat and light arc given out . 3 . When iron is exposed to moist air , it soon rusts : now , this rusting of iron is as truly a combustion as either of the two preceding instances * and , as Dumas remarks , heat

      must be evolved also , though wc cannot detect it . Phosphorus , too , as we have leavnt ( 13 ) , undergoes two kinds of combustion _t first , with much violence , with light and great heat , when wc burn it cither in oxygen gas ( 17 ) or in common air ; secondly , with a very faint light , visible only in the dark , and without any heat sensible to the thermometer , when wc place a stick of phosphorus in a wine-glass standing in water , and invert over it a bell-glass . In both instances there is a union of phosphrous with oxygen , and a real combustion . Thus wc see that a combustion of iron may take place certainly without light , and a combustion of phosphorus may proceed , and light may be given out by it without any increase of heat that is manifest to our senses , or the most delicate thermometer .

      83 . When charcoal is made red-hot in the air , light and heat aro given out , and the carbon vanishes . In this instance it is - the air that increases in weight , and carbonic acid is formed ( 32 ) . Agaip , when we breathe , the air of thc atmosphere parts with oxygen in tho lungs , and the blood iu the lungs parts with carbon ;—where this carbon is actually burnt , whether in the lungs or in the course of circulation , is of no consequence to our inquiry : carbonic acid is given out with the breath , as is shown by thc beautiful espcvimcnt of breathing through lime water ( 51 ) . Nor need wc trouble ourselves to inquire , whether all the heat given out by warmblooded animals is the result of respiration—or , in other words , ofthe combustion ofthe carbon in the

      lungs . It admits of no doubt whatever that there exists in thc blood a carbonaceous matter , capable of combustion , and of giving out much heat by that combustion . An ingenious French philosopher , after I comparing a man to a steam engine , proceeds to state , _thatthemaurcquirestwodays , of twelve hours , to climb the summit of Mont Wane . During that time he burns _(•' . c . consumes in respiration ) oil an average between ten and eleven ounces of carbon . If a steam-engine were employed to convey him thither , it would burn three or four times as much to do the same work . So that , considered as a mere machine , deriving _movingpowcr from thc carbon consumed as fuel , a man is three or four times more powerful than thc most perfect steam-engine .

      Si . when a seed of barley is sown , " the process of Qcmiiiation soon commences . A little rootlet is pushed downwards , and a leaf-bud is pushed upwards —oxygen is absorbed , and the carbon in the seed is consumed—burnt away . Of course , no increase of heat could be detected in a _sim-lc seed of barley , but wc know that by tbis act of germination the seed docs actually grow warn ) , because , in the process of malt-making , grains of barley are made to _germinate in thick layers , and the consequence is , that the heat which could not be perceived in a single seed or in a handful , is veiy evident in the large quantities accumulated by _' thc malt-maker . The loss of weight iu thosecd is also ascertained with great precision by these acute observers , tbe oflieers of excise . There is , therefore , in thc germination of seed , and in the circulation of animals , a real coml bustiou , compatible with life—with vegetable and animal life .

      65 . Malt dried artificially , and then infused in warm water , yields a wort to the brewer , which he causes to l ' enucut . In thc process of fermenta ' ion , eavhon is combined with oxygen ; Iicatis civeiioff ; and carbonic acid gas isgencratcd . Fermentation , then is another form of combustion . "Now it is well known tbat wort canuot be made to ferment without the addition of what is called yeast . Yeast isan azotiscd substance . AVhcat Hour requires also thc addition of yeast before it can be fermented and made into bread . "Hie juice ofthe grape , indeed , passes readily into a state of fermentation without the addition ofVeast or any other _lermcnt ; but the juice of thcgrape _' is itself _i- otised . The part performed by yeast in causing fermentation is not well explained ' nor is much e \ °

      , planation required for our purpose . It contains nitrogen—that is thc main point . _?•) . It is of frequent occurrence that hay imperfectly dried and hastily put together in large stacks , undergoes sueh violent fermentation that it becomes seriously deteriorated in value , sometimes quite spoiled , and actually burnt or decomposed . Just as the seeds of barley , when heaped too much together , would become burnt and damaged in the process of malting , if neglected even for a short time . It may be said that no yeast is added to the hay—how does thc fermentation arise ? The reply is , " that in the juices of thc herbage nitroscu exists ( G 9 ) , in a qiinntity _siiflicicnt to excite and promote fermentation m the carbonaceous matters .

      t > 7 . It bas been stated ( 4 ) , that if air be excluded , charcoal may be heated red-hot for any length of time without undergoing change . Water , however , may lie made to supply thc place of air . If charcoal be made red-hot in a tube ot ' class or earthenware , and a little steam bo driven over it , the two elements of water unite separately with the burning carbonthe oxygen forms carbonic aeid and carbonic oxide with onc portion , whilst tbe hydrogen unites with another portion to form Unlit carburetted _bydroieu , or marsh gas , known to miners as " fire-damp . " " In every wet and stagnant ditch , a similar decomposition of woody matter is constantly going forward . 'I he carbon of dead vegetables , _. vhicli , collected and

      duly tormented , would yield , with an azotiscd compost , both ammonia and carbonic acid , is here i worse than wasted ; for the emanations from marshes , ponds , ditches , and feus , aro deleterious to animal life . Manure is wasted below , and poison is exhaled from the surface by every _stagnant pool—evcrv swampy field . Doubtless the suii decomposes , _ani - ' _]? r , dilutes and disperses , these pestilential _oflluyia ; theire / Fects upon maiikiud arc thus modified , cr at least disguised ; but poor sheep readily fall victims to the rot in low lands , and other dis eases seize horned cattle when first exposed to wet and boggy mountain pastures . To drain and to improve the soil is at once to impart fertility , and to prolong animal life . r °

      I _vS _6 . Redcctiox . —The ores of iron , as extracted iroiu -mines , consist of metal which appears to have i undergone some kind of combustion ( S 2 ) at a former [ period . Reduction is a process just the reverse of combustion . Itis the reducing thc burnt oroxidated iron into its metallic state—imburiiing it , in short . Charcoal is employed for the purpose;—at a violent heat the oxygen is attracted from the iron bv the charcoal , the latter is burned , aud the iron resumes its state of metal . Phosphorus is reduced in the same way . Phosphoric acid ( or phosphorus and _oxygen that have undergone chemical uuion or _conib-istion ) exists abundantly in bone , iu which it is _. ouud united to lime , forming bone earth Or

      phosphate of lime . The operative chemist first gets rid of the lime , then mixes tho phosphoric acid with charcoal , lieats the mixture in a fierce furnace , and so reduces tbe phosphorus . Charcoal , we sec , is concerned in many operations ; but wc cannot reduce it from carbonic acid , any more than wc can combine nitrogen aud oxygen into nitric acid , except iu the minutest quantity and at a great expense . We cannot unburn carbonic acid ; yet a leaf of grass , a sprig of mint , aided by sunshine , can effect that whicli battles thc most cunning art of man . SO . _Decompositiox , putrefaction , or putrid fermentation , begins to take place in azotiscd organic substances , whether of vegetable or animal origin , as soon as these arc deprived of that life which enables them to control the teudency of their

      elementscarbon , oxygen , hydrogen , and nitrogen—to obey the laws of chemical affinity . The phenomena of chemical decomposition are iniiuitclr various in the number , proportion , and combination of the several compounds that follow each other in rapid succession , according to the temperature ofthe air , thc presence of moisture , the proportion of nitrogen , the admixture of sulphur , phosphorus , < tc ., —the influence of light , of shade , —the admixture of inorganic substances , _iS-c . Under these influences , the elements of organised substances sepavatc onc from another , to combine again two and two , three and three , ite . The carbon with oxygen departs as carbonic oxide and carbonic acid , with hydrogen as carburetted hydrogen ; the hydrogen with oxygen as water ; the nitrogen with hydrogen as ammonia , and as products

      allied to prussic acid ; thc sulphur with hydrogen as sulphuretted hydrogen ; thc phosphorus with hydrogen as p hospburetted hydrogen , & e . These bodies again mingle togctherand combine indefinitely— "the whole presenting an inextricable labyrinth , in which actual science is bewildered and lost , with all her boasted applianeesof precise apparatus , —a laboratory of death , but an invisible laboratory , —Pandora ' s box , whence have issued all the pestilences afflicting every age of the world , at the bottom of which wc seem permitted to descry dimly the hope of a theory . " —( Raspail . ) 90 . In considering the influence of water , of light , and of air , we shall have a future opportunity of recording some facts bearing upon these uninviting subjects , —Combustion , Reduction , Decomposition : the

      last of which , after all , is only another word for , the first ; and there is much truth and beauty in the views recently propounded by Dumas , who describes the vegetable kingdom as an apparatus of reduction , the animal kingdom as an apparatus of combustion , the atmosphere as a mysterious chain of connection between thc onc and the other . Vegetables , according to this theory , absorb heat , and accumulate materials which tbey are empowered to organise .- Animals merely burn aud consume these organised materials , in order to derive from them warmth and locomotive power . The atmosphere forms the bond of union between the two kingdoms , furnishing the four principal elements of plants and animals—carbon , hydrogen , nitrogen , and oxygen .

      91 . "Waiving all common utility and vulgar applications , there is something ennobling in knowing and understanding the operations of Nature , some pleasure in contemplating the order and harmony oi the arrangements belonging to the terrestrial system of things . There is no absolute utility in poetry ; but itgivespleasure , and refines and exalts the mind . Philosophic pursuits have likewise a noble and independent use of this kind ; and there is a double reason offered for pursuing them ; for whilst in their sublime speculations they reach to thc heavens , in their application tbey belong to the earth ; whilst they exalt the intellect , they provide food for our common wants , and likewise minister to the noblest appetites and most exalted views belonging to our nature .

      General Meeting Of The Members Of The Ma...

      GENERAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERS OF THE MANCHESTER DISTRICT . A . meeting of the members ot tbis body was lately held in the Corn Exchange , for the purpose of considering the critical position of the district generally . Tlic meeting was numerously attended , about 1000 persons being present a little after seven o ' clock , when the proceedings commenced , and more afterwards came in . On the motion of Mr . Bibiiy , Mr . J . Richardson White ( P . G . M . ) was unanimously called on to preside , aud took the chair amidst great applause . The Chairmax said , that however bo might regret the necessity ofhis brethren being called together to defend tlieir rights and liberties as Odd Fellows , be was determined to abide by the general laws . He

      expressed his belief that the annual moveable committee at Glasgow had themselves broken the Jaw ; and that the Manchester lodges were the Independent Order of Odd Fellows as by law established , and that the aggressors were those who bad taken on themselves to expel them . He was ready to meet any of them face to face , and discuss the points of difference . ( Applause . ) Though gentlemen were prepared to move and second the resolutions , be should be glad to hear any of his brethren express their opinions . ( Applause . ) In 1813 they bad a fair representation iu thc annual committees , bnt it had now become a misrepresentation . He should be glad to see them go back to the state they were in in 1813 . He hoped this meetiKg would not allow any faction or split to take place , and thereby threaten thc prosperity of thc order . ( Applause . )

      Mr . Joxes ( P . P . G . M . ) , in proposing the first resolution , regretted that such a crisis had been brought about that they wcre suspended , by which was meant that they werc deprived of all the advantages which they expected to derive from the order . Was it to be supposed that any of the members present bad done anything which rendered them unfit to associate with their fellow men ? But they had not even liad a fair trial ; they had not been brought to tlic bar of commor-sense . The late A . M . C . was of course legally convened , but he believed tbe meeting bad been packed , and its resolution bad struck such a blow at the heart ' s core of the institution , that it was high time that the lodges took the management of tlieir affairs into their own hands . Those resolutions

      implied tbat tbe lodges were insolvent ; this was a positive untruth . The A . M . C . had founded their statistics on those of tbe Scottish Insurance Company ; and on this basis they decided that such and such payments ought to be made . But they had overlooked the facts , that great numbers joined thc order simply < mt of curiosity , and tliat many left it witliout receiving any benefit ; besides , the Scottish Company paid a salary of £ 1000 , bnt such things were unknown in the order . He moved— "That this meeting views with profound regret the adoption of measures by the Glasgow A . M . C ., which arc in themselves unjust , unnecessary , and oppressive , founded on false data and inapplicable statistical returns , which , while materially reducing funcval donations , annihilate tho

      very name of widow , spurn the orphan , and put aside charity , hitherto deemed to be tbe brightest gem of the order ; and yet , notwithstanding , calling for largely increased contributions from tbe members , for no other purpose than to place an enormous amount of rapidly-accumulating capital ultimately uuder the control ofthe oflieers of the order , for the exclusive patronage of themselves and theiv satelitcs . " ( Loud applause ) . Mr . _TAVton , in seconding the resolution , said be was one of the five individuals who had been held up by thc grand-master and thc board of directors something iii the same way that fanners hold up dead rooks , as a warning to others . ( Laughter . ) Many might be ignorant of the precise cause of dispute ,

      which lie would endeavour to state . It bad hitherto been the practice of all lodges to pay thc demands upon them ; and though some few , in remote districts , might have got into difficulties , it was not in carrying ont the regular objects of the order , but in supporting objects put forward by thc grand-master and others , and things advertised on the back of their magazine . ( Hear , hear . ) . Ik alluded to the expensive regalia which had been provided , and said , though in some cases they might have paid a bonus of 10 per cent , to the order , the individuals had first put on that 10 per cent ., that it might be deducted . Grand-masters Mansfield , Ogden , and others , bad received multitudes of orders , not through the corresponding secretary , and a great amount of money had

      no doubt thus come into their hands . It hail hitherto been supposed that those only were the recognised tradesmen of the order who put iheir _names-on the back of the magazine ; but it ought to be known that other persons had been making up and manufacturing things without their names being known and not deducting the 10 per cent . He made a charge of this kind against corresponding secretary RateM ' e and he challenged him or any of his friends to denv the fact . ( Hear . ) Others who supplied these artides tad truckled to UatcMc , and were eoiiiolctch * under his thumb ; in fact , the concentration of ' powei m that man was such that hewas tbe ureatcst enemv of the order , and a / I their force ought ' to be directed against him . I Applause . ) He would now _nronnrd _i „

      j Show that the statements put forward in the name of ! the G . M . aud board of directors were false and colluj sivc ; for it was a fact that tbe tables which had been I !? re , r wcre not " - ° _* - •¦ ¦ ' -ca bad been adopted by I the G . M and board of directors . Mr . Sydney Mills I declared that Uatcliftc never produced anv sucli statement before the board , and that ho never beard of it till he saw it in the Huddersfield district . ( Hear , hear . ) this conclusively showed that they had not acteil as a board of directors . These tables professed to be founded on all the information thev could possibly obtain . Tbey set out with a most extraordinary supposition—tliat the average a ~ e of members entering the order was 32 ( hear , bearl * it iurtber assumed tbat all tbe members continued in the order till death , that all the members were mar * ried men , and that they and their wives all continued in the order till death .

      -. fate that -i-Stlis of the members were married men on entering the-order , and that 2-3 rds of those who entered continued . This would be shown from a statement of P .. G . M . Pciscr himself , relative to thc Apollo Lodge , showing that out of 310 members , upwards of 100 had discontinued their payments—( hear , hear ); and it was probable others might do the same . The tables further assumed that the order was confined to those actually initiated ; while the fact was that fresh members wcre continually coining in and thousands wcre annually atided , thus filling up the places of those who went out or wcre excluded for arrears . And those who came in were generally younger men than those who discontinued payment ; they also paid a guinea for initiationand received _.... ¦ : v _; _-.- __^

      , no benefit from thc funds for six months . All these fact * were overlooked by the board of directors . Iu the Rose of Cumberland Lodge , out of _boO members , 135 had been excluded for non-payment . 1 _but the statement of those who bad assumed the o hco ol directors was utterly false ami _uiit-arrautaWe . In the lodge just alluded to , tbe average age et those admitted was 27 i- years , instead of 32 , as assumed by tlio board ; and that exceeded thc average ol tlie order . Favments had been made to the amount ot £ 1 001 _Ss . _' od ., while the balance in iavoin * ot the lodge was £ 1 ,-1-10 . So much for all the information which the board had been able to collect , ivas it n t such as ought to be spurned and treated with contemot ? Were the members on such grounds to be

      called on to pay an increased amount ?—( Ao ! j Ought not those who sought to deceive tliem rather to be unseated and cast off ? - ( " Yes , yes ! " and loud applause , in thc midst of which some onc called for a show of hands for the board of directors being suspended , and every hand in the room was apparently held up . ) If these proceedings were allowed to take eil ' cct , where were these things to end *?—when would oppression cease aud justice begin ?—{ " Never , never \ " ) They could only put down tbis tyranny by determined unity of purpose , and by avoiding potty differences among themselves . ( Applause . ) The enemy ' s camp was weaker even thau sand falsehood had nothing adhesive in it ; and tbey must yield to the vigorous attack of determined

      and united men . ( Applause . ) Tho Chairman asked if any onc bad an amendment to propose , and suggested that as there were five or six resolutions to be brought forward , the time of themeeting should not be unnecessarily occupied . Mr . Jambs Siussox _, of thc Caledonian Lodge , wished to ask some gentleman on the platform whether thc A . M . C . was a legally constituted court ; if so , he thought they werc bound to abide by the decision of the body till tlicy could sec themselves represented by men of more intelligence , more honesty , or both . ( Applause . ) Mr . Moody said there was great difference of opinion on that point ; but so far as tne Manchester delegates went , be thought the meeting was not legally constituted , inasmuch as open canvassing bad been carried on at the March meeting . ( Applause . ) It was no use now to discuss whether

      that body was or was not legally constituted ; for tlieir proceedings showed they would stop at nothing . ( Hear , hear . ) Their animus was most distinctly shown by tho notices which tbey gave before the last A . M . C . for the alteration of rules— -the first of which was that the rules werc to be binding on the order for three years unless tbey were altered by themselves . . ( Hear . ) Ifthe government ofthe country were to adopt such a course , and say that the laws should not be altered for three years except by the niinhtvy _, •» revolution would be the consequence . It appeared from tho notice issued by the grand master and the board , , tbat tbey were ready to reinstate lodges and individuals who had taken no part in these proceedings ; and tbey bad already restored some few lodges , although , by a previous resolution , tltey had declared that this should not be done till the lirst ot

      August . In answer to thc question of the gentleman —why they did not stick to their representatives , and try to mend them—he would say they werc too bad for that , and tbey ought at once get rid of tbcm . ( Applause . ) Mr . Jackson , ofthe Abcrcrombie Lodge , Salford , concurred in tbe opinion tbat the executive _bedy ought to bo done away with , and in proof detailed some proceedings with regard to thc Salford lodges which appeared very arbitrary . The resolution was then put , and all but unanimously agreed to—only two hands being held up against it . Mr . Coates ( P . G . of tbe Earl of Oxford Lodge ) said he had ceased to take an active part iu his own lodge on account of the monstrous power assumed by certain individuals—( hear , hear ) . They wcre now in

      a position which he and others had predicted fourteen or fifteen years ago . He rejoiced to see such a spirit of independence manifested in a good cause . ( Applause . ) Every servant ought to he paid ; but . to make a servant tlieir master was cruelly unjust , lie moved "That this meeting has heard with much astonishment and disapprobation that the G . M . and Hoard of Directors have despotically and illegally suspended tbe Manchester District , without trial and without even a charge of offence , thereby making an attack on the rights and privileges of tho several members oftho order , which it is the bounden duty of all , for mutual and individual preservation , uncompromisingly to resist and to put dowi * . " ( Great applause . ) Ho attributed the present disturbances in

      the order to a co-operative trading community liaving sprung up amongst them ; and so long as-this continued , justice would never be done . ( Applause . ) He alluded to different individuals who bad once entertained similar sentiments to bis own , but who now supported thc governing body from interested motives—onc because be was a " dispensation boxmalcer . " ( Applause and laughter . ) Many of these men chose to attend the annual committee voluntarily , not to sit and vote—that they could not do—but to influence thc country members , by telling them that Mr . So-and-So was a most respectable man , and that they must not oppose his views . ( Applause and laughter . ) The speaker proceeded to make some personal remarks on Mr . Gray , of the Olympic

      Tavern , and others ; but hc was called to order by thc Chairman , who very properly observed tbat they bad come on a respectable footing , and be hoped they would conduct themselves respectably . In this statement tbe meeting testified their concurrence by Iiearty applause . —Ml' . Goatcs proceeded to say that it was impossible for the affairs of the order to be properly conducted so long as trading matters were mixed tip with them , lie had seen the Grand Master and asked him his reasons for promulgating tbis extraordinary order of suspension ; who alleged that he had done it in pursuance of a resolution of the board ; but it was clear he had the power of acting otherwise if be had thought proper . Mr . Wiiitiakkh ( P . _G- . ofthe Earl Fitzwilliam Lodge ) seconded thc resolution . It bad been said tbat the disatislacwas confined to a few individuals , who ought to be excluded the order ; he therefore rejoiced to sec this

      meeting , and bailed it as a proof that the members had determined to gird themselves with the armour of frecdoom . ( Applause ) . They had no chance now of meeting the usurpers at thc next A . M . 0 , " , the thing bad now gone too far ; it wns thc growth ol years , and the last stroke was disfranchising the lodges from sending representatives to the A . M . C , from which all evils had sprung . ( Hear , hear ) . Was it to be supposed , had thc lodges retained the power of sending representatives to the A . M . C , that these resolutions would ever have been passed . ( Applause . ) Instead of this dissatisfaction being confined to a few individuals , it wns evident it was shared in by thc majority . ( Applause . ) Would tbey be slaves or be free ? ( " Free . " ) If tbey would

      be free , they only had to will it ; and if tbey would but follow those who were prepared to lead them on to the goal of freedom , thc Independent Order of Odd Fellows would bo independent still . ( Loud applause . ) When the order was reformed , it must bo on the basis of equal laws and equal representation . ( Applause . ) The resolution was unanimously carried , as were each of tbe succeeding ones . Mr . Ball ( P . P . G . M . ) moved- " That thc bonds of the order are unity , peace , and brotherly love ; its laws recognise no dillerencc or superiority in religion , politics or wealth , being equal and just to all , governing precisely alike thc highest officers and the

      youngest brethren , and acknowledging no pre-eminence except such as may be attained by intellect and moral virtue ; its perfect equality of rights and _pvivileces constitutes its unity , and its unity is strength . " He observed that their government originally was one of the strongest that could be formed—a series of little republics united together ; but it had now been converted into a despotic oligarchy . He severely censured the conduct of Mr . llatcliffe , and said tbat that individual would no . doubt employ all tho _chieavery iu his power to defeat the objectof this meeting * , but if they werc united , tbey would prevail aea ' urst him . Jlr . Harper ( P . _G , of thc Rose of Cumberland Lodge ) seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Moouv ( I ' . Cr . ot tbe Temple Lodge ) moved" That , finding by present experience that the « . _"* - sumption of uncontrolled power by ambitious and unscrupulous men leads to thc destruction of our libertics , and thc ruin of thc order , tbis meeting declares that it is essential to the well-being of aU that justice shall be dealt out with impartiality to cach , * that every man shall bo deemed innocent until lie ' shall have been proved guilty by a competent tribunal and that punishment shall in no ease bo inflicted unless it shall have then been proved that a definite law of the order has been broken . " ( Applause . ) He observed that though it was alleged bv the Avtounstrcet gentlemen that their proceedings wero ' leal they werc unable to point out what law bad bceinn . fringed by the bulk of those who had been so uniustlv

      suspended . Irom the spirit ot tbe mon , thev were totally precluded from loolcing to them for any redress ; ho believed tbey would risk the very utmost to carry their own arbitrary views . ( Hear , hear . ) Ike principle ot tho order was so far democratical that every ono ought to have a voice in _makin-- or altering the laws they had to obey ; but itwas well known that such had not recentl y been tlic case Mr . It . J . Richardson' ( P . G . of the Mornim- ' star Lodge ) seconded thc resolution . He said hc bad _lmV foreseen what would bo tbe stale of thin *" - if the parties in power were allowed to continue " their oppressive proceedings ; _hebatllongforeseen that u \ 0 result must be a severing of the wheat from the chaff of the good from the had , so tliat the order would |> o improved by being reduced to its better half for the benefit of posterity , G ndually Jaw by ] iUv bad been

      rescinded , until all the laws were set at nought by thc governing party , who were bound of all men to preserve thein . intact . What security was there for the wcWavo of society generally if their laws were not preserved free from the influence of tyranny and absolutism of every sort ? ( Applause . ) He had seen with p leasure the address published by the governing body to-day in the public papers ; for they cordially agreed with these lodges in condemning the gewgaws they bad long complained of , and yet knocked them down . ( Hear , bear , ) This proved that lodges had not become insolvent by charity , but by ridiculous gewgaws : and now the govern ing party told tbcm tbey ought not to encourage these gewgaws which Mr . l ' cisci _* , Mr . Simins , and others sold , wliile Mr . llatcliffe _^ M _^ all the at by thc

      himself , as appeared by the same paper , did not refuse to receive presents . ( Loud applause . ) Tho speaker read the account of this presentation from tlic Courier of last Saturday ; it excited great laughter , and was received with derisive cheer-, , particularly tlic part which spoke of Mr . Uatclilfe _' s '' servitude to tbe order . "—Mr . Richardson proceeded to say thatthe order had hitherto stood above , reproach , and bad been the means of relieving thousands of widows and orphans ; and be trusted it would bo so purged that it would continue to answer this laudable purpose , and that all the lodges in the unity would gladly share in the work of regeneration . — ( Applause . ) Mr . Siott ( P . G . of the Shakspeare Lodge ) moved — "That to the full development oftho vast

      energies of an immense and benevolent society , as well as to curb tyranny , afford protection from peculation of funds , or abuse of power , each lodge should be severally represented at the A . M . C , as was tbe practice of the order up to the A . M . C . held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne . " Thc following resolution was also adopted : — " That after the despotic course pursued by the G . M . and Board of Directors—a course in direct opposition to the laws ofthe order , and contrary to all principles of justice and equity , and conscious that no redress will bo afforded under the present administration ,- —this meeting , therefore , declares that they have lost all _cotiudcnce in tbe present officers and executive of the order , and that wc immediately proceed to organise ourselves , and carry out in their fullest extent thc true principles of Oddfellowship .

      BEWARE OF MISRULE ! SECURE YOUR FUNDS ! SPUUN USURPATION ! KEEP NO TYRANTS ! TO TIIE _EDirott OP THE _XOKTUERN STAB . Sin , —I avail myself of your kind oiler to lay before your numerous readers the principal causes of the _present rupture in the Society of Odd Fellows . The Odd Fellows' Society , like most other secret societies , arose from a very- trivial cause ; and has been in existence about thirty-five years . Its progress in the beginning was slow ; but within the last twelve years it has increased rapidly , and is now composed of 350 , 000 individuals . This society is governed by a Grand Master and Board of Directors ,

      whoso powers arc delegated to them by a grand annual moveable committee ; and is , or ought to be , a purely Democratic institution . But of late years , by a system of manoeuvring * on tho part of thoso in power , it bas become thoroughly aristocratic ; and a spirit of petty despotism now obtains in tlic Executive , This system of governing the order was introduced seven years ago , at tho Rochdale A . M . C ., and has gradually gained ground . All the power for good or evil is now ce . nthkd in thc hands of about twenty interested men , seven of ivhom have within the last seven years received upwards of £ 311 , 000 for what they call " SU _1 TIAUXO THE _OKDEU WITH GOODS , " ivhieh goods consist principality of regalia , and mountebank dresses for the officers of lodges . The prime mover in

      these disgraceful events is the emef secretary , William ltatclillb , " Esq . " !!!—a man as notorious for his doings among the race-runners as race-running is notorious to tbe world . This individual has contrived to arrogate unto himself a power over the destinies of Odd Fellowship unprecedented in any other society professing to be founded upon Democratic principles * . and , although it is a laet not to be controverted , that lie attends nearly all the races occurring in dift ' erent parts of tbe country ( in which excursions ho is frequently accompanied by—Dickinson thc "grandmaster , " andooo _^ _imter to thc order ) , yet , , so great is tho influence he possesses , that thousands of hard-working men in mills and mines , out oftheir hard earnings , have to pay hini a princely

      salary of £ 300 per year 1 ! As RateM ' e has always thought it polite to keep the " TRADESMEN" of the order inofi . ee , because with theni he knew well it was a "brcad-and-chceso question , " be bas , by their slavish aid , launched a scheme of future payments , drawn up , as he says , on the principles of ' Governmental-Statistical-Wliig-Political Table * , _Ncw-Poor-Law-Calculations , & c . The object is covertly to destroy the independence of lodges by getti . no co . _\* rnoui . over their moxky . To this end these parties have _comoletcly altered the fundamental principles of Oddfellowship ; have centralised tho system of representation ; have created a host of rotten boroughs , in tho shape of little districts ; and have even descended to worse

      practices to influence the election of deputies in some of the larpc districts , as was the case in the Manchester district last March . They have " likewise suspended lodges , and districts , and individuals , without either trial or law ; and to crown the injustice , some of them have even detained the banking books of districts and lodges , against the protests of overwhelming majorities , to the detriment of the sick , thc unfortunate , and distressed . Thc order of Odd Follows is founded on pure benevolence . Shall it longer be _"onemcd- by a gang of fellows , tbe ready tools of a mau , who , is continually riding about tbe country to races , in a carriage that be purchased out ofhis " LOSINGS" on ( hc turf ? Shall tliese things longer continue ? Colliers of Ncwcastlo-upon-Tync

      will you pay your hard-earned money to support them ? Agricultural lftboiwers of England \ will you bo taxed to keep this system up ? Cotton Spinners and weavers ! will jou sweat in mills to give your money for these things ? Workers in iron ! will you pay tho piper for playing to such a tunc ? Answer " NO ! " The honest indignation of labour imposed upon , calls for a universal response— "NO i" Up , then , and be doing ! Manchester has nobly struck the blow for our regeneration . Salford , lluddcvsfield , _Stoelcport , Rochdale , ite , & c , aro determined to destroy tlic incubus now fastened upon the benevolent and charitable spirit of our Institution . " Go , then , and dove likewise ! " Attend in your lodges , and make inquiry . Be not cajoled and deceived .

      Udil Fellows ! read the Manchester address , a copy of whicli has been sent to every lodge in the unity . Do not let tbat document be burked by your enemies . Read a small pamphlet , published by ltobert Wood of Manchester , cntitlcil"Ii < !) M _)* I _* " on thePreseni Condition of Oddfellowship . " Keep alive to your _oint interests _, fie no longer deceived ; and Oddfellowshi p shall yet free itself from the thraldom of designing men . Keep your funds in safe custody . Secure your banking books ; and elect men of principle for your trustees . Do these things promptly . No delay Strike the iron while it is hot ; and you _willpvescx-ve that which is your own . With every confidence in your efforts being successful , I remain , yours truly , Ax Old Odd ¥ i : llow , And an Enemy to _Opnx-ession .

At twenty minutes past three o ' clock she left her moorings in thc Mersey amid flic enthusiastic cheers of thousands of spectators who had assembled on the shores both of Cheshire and Lancashire , independently of the hundreds who had embarked in various ferry-boats for tlic purpose of obtaining amove close and accurate view ot her movements . On board was a large party of the merchants of tbe town , who accompanied the shi p as far as the north-west light-ship , a distance of abruit sixteen miles from the port , and for whom was prepared a very handsome entertainment .
