      In . France. The Parliamentary - Session...

      In . FRANCE . The Parliamentary - session has closed , and the Chamber of Deputies has been dissolved previous to the close of the sittings on the . 2 nd instant , a discussion of some interest took place . The " _^ Foreign Refugee ' s Bill , " _havingbeensubmittedfor _diiscussion , Count de Moxtalembert inveighed in the _/ trbngest terms against the conduct of the Austrian Court relative to the recent occurrences in Poland , and especially at Cracow , and accused the _French Government of not having since duly watched over the maintenance of the independence of that republic . M . Guizot replied , after his usual manner of seeming truth , but real falsehood .. He said that , he had demanded an explanation of the _^ Austrian Government , relative to . the occupation of Cracow , "

      and had received the reply that " events had necessitated a temporary occupation , but that existing rightsshould be respected . M . _Vhm-main delivered an eloquent speech in support of the Count de Moxtalembert ' _s views . The bill was then adopted unauimously . The French are in a nice mess With their Tahiti "Protectorate , " haying been worsted by the natives , who seem universally to detest their "' civilising" friends . News . has been received of another atrocity committed in Algeria . A number of Arabs ( including women ) had- been pursued by General Cavignac , who ' coming up "with them had driven them to the number of 500 towards the' , ' where they were wiled upon to surrender .. They , however , refused to lay down their arms , and the whole were butchered ; some were shot , and the remainder driven into the sea , where they were

      drowned . The Madrid papers assert , that the "Miguelite _movem- _'nt iu Portugal is gaining ground . - An address and declaration dated from London , have been issued " in the name and by the orderof the King Don . Miguel I , " asserting " bis _Majesty' claims to the throne , and declaring that the moment has arrived to make good those " claims . " . Accounts from ¦ ¦ ¦¦

No amnesty bad been published , as' was expected , but it was said * that the measure was only delayed . Addresses demaiiding certain reforms in the Government of thePohti Heal dominions are being numerously signed at Bologna , Ferrara , Ravenna , and in other towns .

      Birmingham.—The Festival Of This Branch ...

      Birmingham . —The festival of this branch of the United Patriots and Patriarchs Benefit Societies wa _^ held to celebrate the third Anniversary , at the . Cup Tavern , "Ruston-street . The dinner gave great satisfaction . After the cloth was removed , various toasts were proposed' from the chair ; among them , that of ' _> T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P . ' , the Poor Man ' s Friend ; " "The health of D . W . Ruffy ,: the secretary and founder of the Institution ; " "The health of G . Bird , Esq ., surgeon . " The members expressed themselves perfectly satisfied with _tbeprosr perityof the Societies , and five 61 the members ' friends joined during the evening .

      The Fatal Explosion at Droitwich . —Another of the sufferers ha < died , —James Carter the younger . A youth named Bickley ; who was assisting' the two deceased Carters in loading a cart with salt at the time of the explosion , is still lying in a dangerous state . The inquest on the bodies which commenced on Monday , was brought'to a conclusion on Thursday evening , when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death" in each case , with a nominal deodand oc the boiler . " *• ... _ Gutting asd - "Wounding . —At the Central Criminal Court on "Wednesday , Henry Harley , 34 . chainnaker , was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Lucy Harley , with intent to murder her . It appeared that the parties were man and wife , hut they had separated , and on the day mentioned in tbe indictment the prisoner went

      to the house-where the prosecutrix was staying , and ap . parently without any provocation , he seized a carving knife and stabbed her in the lower part of her person , in . flictiag a dreadful wound three inches deep . For the de . fence , some witnesses were called to make out a case of insanity . The evidence , however , merely went to show that the prisoner on one or two occasions had made use of some absnrd and incoherent expressions . Mr . Justice Williams having left the case to thejury , they deliberated a short time , and then returned a verdict of Guilty . The learned judge inquired of the jury whether they were of opinion that at the time the prisoner committed the act imputed to him , he was perfectly aware of its quality , and tha consequences likely to result from it ! Ihe jury i epliedbhsLt they believed he was quite sane when he com , mitted the offence . The learned judge then ordered the sentence of death to be recorded .

      Suspected Murder At Sunde.Tland

      SUSPECTED MURDER AT SUNDE . tLAND

      ' Sunbertann, Tnesdat, Jutt 7.^-A Painfu...

      ' _SuNBERtANn , TnESDAT , _JutT 7 . _^ -A painful sensation has been caused , in this town by the circulation ' of a rumour thata yoking woman has been ravished and murdered under somewhat mysterious circumstances . ';¦" It appears that , about three o ' clock on Sunday morning , as a workman , employed at Fehwick ' s glass-works ; was walking oh the Rector's Gill , ' near these works '; he saw a'bonnet , and a plate with four-pence halfpenny lying npon it , laid on the edge of the bank . In goiug up to'it , he looked over the bank and then observed near the tunnel on the Lambton coal railway below , the body of a female . As he was near the Bisliopweafmouth police station , he did not deem it prudent' to go near the body , but at once obtained this ' assistance of two policemen , who removed it to the Infirmary . It was . that oi a young woman still alive . Her face was bruised , 'and she was otherwise slightly injured externally , but in an utterly helpiess-and dying condition from ' internal

      bruises . -Medical aid was unavailing ; she was never able to speak , " and died yesterday afternoon " . Her name is Catherine Hind-Marsh , and her step-father ,- Rowland Smith Is a respectable master tinner and brazier in the town " . ¦"• The unfortunate ' girl left her father ' s house about twelve o ' clock on Saturday night , for the purpose of buying soma'butter and eggs , at a' neighbouring shop , kept by a person named Fairbairn . As " she did not return within a reasonable time ; her step-father went to Fair bairn ' s , to s « ek her , when he was informed that she had never been there . ' The unhappy man wandered about tha whole of the nigbt , and , early in tbe morning , heard that a young woman had been found on the Lambton coalrailway , and taken to the Infirmary . He went thither , and his grief can be better conceived than described when he found that it was his daughter , and that she was uuable to speak to him , or even to know him . " _- ' - " .- ' ¦ " ¦ '"• ¦¦ •• ¦ _= ¦¦ ¦

      How she reached the Rector's Gill- which is about a quarter of a mile from her dwelling , and a secluded situation , lying-at a short distance from the r ' ner , and the western extremity of tbe town , is unknown ; but it is believed ( from a variety of mUrate circumstances , each insignificant itself ,- but convincing when , united ) that she has been drawn thither by a worthless seducer , who , after destroying her virtue , has , to escape detection and punishment , thrown ber over the embankment and destroyed her life . Suspicion attaches to an individual , not _yetincustody , respecting whom the police are how making the most diligent inquiries . ¦ ¦ ¦

      This afternoon , ( Tuesday , ) an inquest was held at the Londonderry Arms , before Hn Maynard , - one ofthe county coroners ; and after some fresh evidence had heen adduced , the inquiry was adjourned-until Friday , by which time it is probable some' further particulars will be ascertained relative to this' distressing affair .

P ., in the chair . The Secretary submitted one hundred and seventy letters to -the meeting , from the numerous bodies of trades . forming this grand national confederation . The business of this association has now increased so enormously that it is imperative . to hold two extra or special meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday . -: Mr . W . Robson reported the result of his mission

      to the paper makers of Maidstone , ivent . He had met on Saturday last a number of delegates representing the several mills employed in that trade ; and he was happy to add , that since the meeting the pleasing information had been received , tbat the paper makers , to the number of 800 , were now members of the National Association . He had also , in conjunction with Mr . Allen , waited on the cork cutters , in general meeting assembled , at tbe Bell Inn , Old Bailey . After addressing the meeting for some time , it was resolved : —

      That a special meeting of the trade be held , due notice of which shall be forwarded to the " Trades' Office . " Mr . Robson also reported that he had waited on the silk batters , assembled at the Duke of _Wirtenburgk , _llatfield-street , on Friday last , and stated the objects of thc Association , and the mode of operation proposed at the recent Conference . He was listened to with great attention , and they ( the hatters ) expressed their satisfaction at the progress of the Association . _Araongstjthe numerous communications were some from the Denbigh shoemakers ( both masters and men ) , calling the attention of the committee to a dispute now prevailing in that town , relative to thc state of wages , upon which the committee resolved upon deputiRg Mr . Robson , shoemaker , to proceed at once to Denbigh , and effect , if possible , an amicable adjustment between the employers and the employed .

      The following resolutions were submitted and adopted : — That each town , city , or borough , in Great Britain , shall be hereby authorised to form a committee , consisting of one member from each trade , lodge , or other associated body , which committee shall meet periodically , at its first meeting it shall proceed to nominate an _agent , who shall be elected by the central committee ( in accordance with tbe general rule entitled ' agents' ) , such agent by virtue ofhis oflice becoming an honorary member of the central committee , and through whom all communications must be made to the general secretary . That in case any dispute shall arise between the employers and the employed , the dispute shall be laid before the Town Committee for their consideration , previous to its transmission to the central committee .

      Very favourable accounts were read _^ from Manchester respecting tke " builders' strike , " which led the committee to believe that a speedy and satisfactory termination would be put to this protracted struggle for the "Rights of Labour . " On Wednesday evening , the business having been brought to a close , the committee adjourned until Monday , July 20 .

      BARNSLEY . Messes . Pigott and Nkwtor Again . —It is with extreme pain that circumstances have arisen which call forth tbe following public appeal * . to be silent under the outrageous and wholesale attempt at plunder by the Messrs . Pigott and Newton , would indeed be criminal in a superlative degree on the part of the workpeople . What then will tbe public think ofthe startling fact of a reduction in the instance cf one fabric ( viz . tbe Drabbets ) cf 40 per cent . ! The working people of this town have suffered under the present panic with a resignation and fortitude seldom equalled aHd certainly never surpassed , _consolling themselves with the pleasing reflection that the

      pending measures of Government would ere long better their condition and restore them to comparative comfort , when lo ! in step the modest Messrs . Pigott and Newton , as evil geniuses and harbingers of oppression , and cry" hold there ! we will frustrate your humble hopes , and teach jou that , come what will , your doom is sealed ; suffering the most intense shall continue to be your portion , or at least if not so , the fault shallnot Oe ours . " We as candidly tell YOU , Messrs . Pigott and Newton "the fault shall not be oure . " The price of 4-4 Drabbets for which they paid 5 s . for 24 or 25 lb . of cotton they now offer 3 s . 3 d . for 26 lb . of Cuttou ;—a sum less than used to fall to the bobbin-winders' lot when woveby hand . Ticks , fid . per Bunt , or li per cent less .

      ANOTHER "WORD OR TWO , In consequence of information reaching the ears of the Committee of Power-Loom Weavers , that Messrs . Pigott and Newton try to insinuate into the public mind that the charges brought against them , as stated above , arenottrue ; and fearing lest any _fhould be misled by all apparent plausibility , ( for these gentlemen have a very cunning way of trying to evade and misrepresent our charges ) we again declare that the prices quoted are each and every of them TRUE . We moreover invite Messrs . Pigott and Newton to meet us in public , and if they can prove our assertions to be fallacious , they may

      publish us to the world as slanderers!—Uut they dare not , although they are far removed from anything like delicacy . Oue of these subterfuges is , that it is a new fabric they want to introduce , and not a reduction;—a gross attempt to delude the public by a very great untruth ! It may be well perhaps to set the public right on thia point : — Weaving is paid by the beers or set , i . e . so much yarn iu a given width : and itis not the first time in the history ef weaving in this town , that manufacturers have put in cotton -warps , or had a little less waft put in , and called it another fabric ; but it has always hitherto followed , that as soon as tbe low wage system was established , they

      have turned round and paid by the tet , and _declared it to benonew fabrw atall . Now ne affirm ( bat-no honest manor set of men would _haverecoursetosuch unfairness , which we deem absolutely no better than thimble rigging .

      The Citt Mum ' s Men . —iu a notice two or three weeks' ago , of the proceedings of this society of the London Boot and Shoe Trade , mention was made that a somewhat similar opposition was getting up against the General Association , among the Westend Mens' Men ; and , although the particular mode of operation seems not yet fully decided upon , yet it is evident that they , too , will withdraw , themselves . Alread y , the first and second sections have refused to continue the connection , while the third and fifth

      have in reality resolved upon the same . There is , therefore _^ only one section , the fourth , which ' . can be said to remain ; and one against four dan have _, but little chance of success . From all this , then , it is pretty evident that the . Association , as at present constituted , is on its "last legs , " in London . at least , as the West-end Wpmens' distriet alone is all that at present remainsof the six districts which formerly belonged to it . "We learn , however , that the * ' rebels " are not veritable "levellers , " but that while they destroy , they intend also to construct . _-,.-.. , '

      SHEFFIELD .

      " _> SHEFFIELD STRIKE . : We are glad to torn that the strike oP the Labourers ( which took place three- weeks ago ) for an advance ' ot 3 d . per day' is finally settled . _Many-of the masters gave the advance without a strike—they are not connected with the masters' union : Several masters ( leaders in . the masters' union ) stand out , and employed all the chimney sweepers they could get ; and failing with these , they went to the workbouse , but the poor fellows would not carry bricks without the advance , 't he-work " . therefore had to stand . "

      A meeting was then summoned of the masters ' union , but only-five attended , they could not do any business , and the union has since' been broken up . The men have gained a great victory over some ofthe greatest blockheads that ever lived . ' ¦ ¦ - ' Strike of Sikh-maker ' s at Kilmarnock . —( From the People's Journal ;)—Lately , several of the shoe manufacturers came to thfc decision of lowering the prices of several kinds of work from those 'fixed on by the operative shoemakers' union .- 'In consequence of this , all the men in their employment struck . No

      arrangement has as yet been made ' between them , but the men express their determination to stand so long ( if possible ) that the masters will be obliged to submit , as they cannot long contrive to do without the labour of their * workmen . From the little work the men have been receiving ior Borne time past , they are extremely poor , aud consequently unable to do long without their usual employment .- Should the employers gain the victory , it will probably have the effect of making the other employers in town ( whose men amounttonearly 200 ) adopt the same course . The number of men on strike is about forty .

      THE CHARTIST _CO-OPBRATIVE LAND SOCIETY . TO TUB EDITOR OF THE NOBTBEBN STAB . Sir , —1 am enraptured with the progress being made by our glorious Land project , in spite of the labours of interested and discontented individuals employed to write it down ; I am gratified to learn from this day's Star , that the directors have disposed of the people ' s second eBtate , aud have thereby _reulized tlie sum of one . thousand three hundred and fifty pounds . Now , in my . humble , opinion , this fact alone should silence the base and _slanderous crew . . Now , Sir , as the directors solicit the advice of the members as to the disposal of the above sum , allow me to suggest , in order tbat each occupant may be enabled to participate in the

      hem-tits arising from the very excellent management of the directors , that this amount of money be appropriated to the forming of a Loan Fund , confined exclusively to the Land members , the same to be hereafter under ibe consideration aud control of the directors ; and wlien I consider tbat our object is to effect the greatest amount of good for those who most require our aid and assistance , viz . the unenfranchised and impoverished working classes , 1 cannot help thinking that the money could not bu better applied , lor it is more thau probable that tbe majority of the fortunate holders of the next prizes may be actually destitute of the means of taking possession of tlieir estates , when a loan from the fund would at once extricate them from their difficulties , and render each man comparatively independent .

      1 trust my brother shareholders will take thiB idea into their consideration , and as you are disposed to listen to the opinion of each , and allow every one fait play , I fear not that this important question will receive that attention from every quarter of the kingdom the nature of the subject requires , and undoubtedly deserves . * In the meantime , allow me to remain , Respectfully yours , J .

Sir , —Having read in the Northern _& ar [ lastof week tbat you bad , with tke consent of the other directors , sold Carpender ' s farm , and by the sale of which you had realised a profit of £ 1350 , we convened a meeting on the 6 th instant , in the _Asseciation-room , No . 6 , St . John-street , Caldewgatc , at which the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — That the sum of £ 1350 which has been realised by the _snle of Carpender ' s farm , revert to the general fund of the Society , to aid in locating the whole of the members belonging to the first section _.

      "We have at all times entertained tbe greatest respect for your opinions , conscious as we are that they are always given with thc utmost sincerity and purest of motives , but at this time we must say that we entirely differ from you . We are not of opinion that the profit arising from the sale of the estate belongs either justly or equitably to the forty-three successful shareholders at the next ballot , but we consider that if a majority of the members think it should be so , they have aright to give their decision to that effect . For our part we bave to slate tbafc the above resolution was the spontaneous ebullition of the whole of the members of the first and second sections wbo attended the meeting , and others who could not attend , but sent their opinions to th meeting * !

      The profit , in our opinion , belongs to the whole of the members composing the first section , and ought to go along with other profits that may be made out of that section ' s means , until the whole of such section be located , when it should either be divided amongst them , or assist towards purchasing their holdings out for ever , aa a mojority may then deem proper . Should such a rule as the dividing the money amongst the first successful shareholders be acted upon , there is no saying where it would end ; for in stance , Carpender ' s farm is sold , the profits are to be

      CHARTIST PLEASURE TRIP FROM ABERDEEN . Dundee , July 5 . —This morning at 6 , a . m ., we observed a steam loat to the eastward of the souchferry light-houses , _standing for this harbour , and upon ncaring it , the deck of the vessel was discovered to be crowded with people . The vessel turned out to be the "' Samson of Aberdeen , " which had been hired by a party forming a portion ofthe leading Chartists of Aberdeen , for a pleasure excursion to Dundee and Perth . It would appear , intimation had reached the principal men in the movement here , that their brethren of the north would visit them , for long before the hour of landing , the protection wall of the docks were densely thronged with persons of both sexes , who seemed not to weary while they waited for their friends . Among tliose we observed , Mr . John Downie , who has long been popular for his indefatigable exertions to uplift his class from slavish

      insignificance and degradation . Besides bim , and a vast number more of the good men , of Dundee , we also observed Messrs . M'Donaldand Smart of Aberdeen , who now reside here . Upon going on board , we observed a more than sufficient supply of good things had been laid in for the ladies who accompanied tbe party , which with stronger and more substantialfare , were freely offered to their more southern male and female democratic friends of this place . The vessel left at half-past eight o ' clock for Perth , from whence she will return to-morrow forenoon , and sai next afternoon for Aberdeen . Wc are not exactly certain as to the reason why the trip has been undertaken at this early period of the season . We believe the present posture of political affairs may have hurried it on , for it Is evident from the temper of the great body of the people , that unless the extension of the elective franchise form a portion of the creed of the new Ministry , they will not be allowed to govern the councils of this nation for any length of time .

      PLYMOUTH . TO THE EDITOR 61 ? THE N 0 _RTHEBK STAR . Sir , —lam directed on the part of the shareholders here to state in reply to Mr . O'Connor ' s suggestions , that they cannot accede to so sectional an application of the profits arising from the sale ofthe last estate , as the awarding to the shareholders who may be located on the next purchase _^ one farthing more than the rules prescribe ; for as it is a contingency that cannot always be looked for , those wbo wouia receive less at any other period , must by the comparison suffer positive injustice .
