      _Attewted _Murdeb asd Suicide rHBotroH- the ( GGetjslti or a bos to nis _Fatheb . —On Tnesdav EicoE __ idtrable excitement _prevailed in the town of Old JEBrentford , in consequence of the determined attempt toofan aged inhabitant to assassinate his son by stablb bing him , and then attempting self-destruction by ' C catting bis throat . The facts are asfoilow : Thomas I Low , lie would-be murderer , is aged 73 , and bad for jyears carried on the business ofa shoemaker at Urenti ford End , near the residence of the Duke of Gura-Iberland ; bnt some months since , in consequence of i falling into difficulties , he made bis business over to 1 his son , who is in bis 30 th year , liis affairs in the -i-coarse of time being arranged , he returned home to ! resume his business , but be was refused admittance

      by his son , who thrust him out of doors . He has since , subsisted onthe charity of friends ; but every means being exhausted , he came to the resolution of making one more effort to obtain a shelter in his former dwelling . For that purpose he on Tuesday forenoon repaired thither , but the . son ' spurning his appeal , he , ina moment of excitement caught up a knife , which lay on the table , and stabbed htm in the breast , and then drew the same"knife across his own throat , inflicting a frightful wound . An alarm being instantly given , a surgeon was sent for , who pronounced _iheson to have received an injury to one ofthe vital _orpins , which would probably prove fatal . The father remains under the care of * Mr . Keate , _ttrgeon , but no hopes are entertained ot his ultimate

      recovery . Tee Rkcest Railway Accident is the Ism of Thaxet . —On Saturday last an inquest was held before T . T . Lesanx , Esq ., coroner for theeastern _division ofthe county of Kent , atthe Five Bells public house , in the village of Minster , Isle oFThanet , on the body of James Hollands , a young man who met _^ with his death on the works of the _Ramsgate , _Canterbury , and London Railway . John Moarkton _, labourer , was the first witness called . lie deposed that on Thursday last he was on a ballast waggon with deceased , near the "tip end of tbe line , " witness meant the point where the waircons were tipped over « idthe contents thrown ont . This _wasonfjie extei _:-sionliue ofthe South-Easlera Railway , between the Tillages of Sana and Minster . There were eight ¦ waggons , all laden with ballast and propelled by a steasa engine . They were under the management of

      a person named James Armstrong . On arriving at the tip end the first two waggons turned over tbe end ef the line . Witness jumped off , but deceased was thrown tothe ground . Tfiecontcnts of one ofthe _waggons fell over him , and buried bim . Witness , with others _^ endeavoured to extricate deceased as soon as _ptesible , but be was quite dead . Two other men were also partially buried with him . It was the duty of Aimstrong io put offthe steam at the crossing , and of another person to let on thc break onthe teuder and waggons . Therewasno alarm given tbat he ( witness " ) heard . Similar evidence haven been given b y other witnesses , the Coroner snmmed up . From the fogginess of the atmosphere , and the facts tbat the rails were wet with frost and thus rendered slipperv _, and the decline commencing there , the accident had undoubtedly occurred from purely accidental causes . Verdict accordingly . Deodand on the engine £ 1 .

      _Accident ox ina _Midland _Rauwat . —A collision , by which considerable _damage was done , took place between two goods trains on tbe Midland Railwav , about two miles from the Leeds station , on Saturdav -eveninglast What was tbe _preciye cause of the collision we have not been able to ascertain . About six o ' clock ia the evening ofthe day mentioned a goods train was on its way from Selby to Leeds , and when it had got nearly to Hnnslet , a _Midland'lagsage train came op , and , before its speed could be arrested , ran into it . The collision was one of great violence ; the

      break ofthe Selby train was completel y smashed , and the two engines attached to the Midland train were shattered to pieces . The broken parts ware so jammed togother , and such were the _difficulties attending their removal , tbat it was eleven o _' _clack at night before even one fine of rails could be chared of fragments . The consequence was . that a large number of trains had to be detained till tbat period , causing great public annoyance and inconvenience . The damage sustained by the Midland Company will amount to several hundred pounds . The parties connected with the two trains escaped with little or

      no injury . _Moitaet BBCTAUir . —On Monday , the 12 th inst . the Depot ? , comprising the Provisional Battalion , assembled on the General Parade Ground , Chatham Barracks , to hear the _sentence promulgated of a district court-martial , held at this garrison on the 5 th inst , on private Samuel Khm , ofthe 08 th Regiment of Foot , for striking Sereeant Reilly , of _theSSth , his superior officer , whilst iii tbe execution of his duty .

They . were ho rt f natives of tbat neighbourhood , and hadbeen _?*^ rehended at Warrington on a charge of having stolen two heifers . A handsome reward has _IxjSn offered for such information as may lead to the apprehension of the fugitives . Fusions _Damxe . —On Monday evening between eight and nine o ' clock , a chaise , containing two gentlemen , proceeded at a rapid rate through Coventry-street , in a direction towards Leicester-square , and upon reaching the corner of the new street , an Italian boy , who was crossing at the tune with some images , was knocked down , the wheels passing over Ms legs . The chaise , however , continued at thesame

      furious _paca until it reached the top of Wardourstreet , when a gentleman of the name of Reddle , residing _inG Iden-sqnare , was also knocked down and severely injured . The vehiclewasultimatel y stopped in Oxford-street . A Good Example . --At Berlin , at twelve on Ciristmas ere , all the licensed houses of ill-fame were , by command of the authorities , for ever shut up . The unfortunate women were released from all debts they might owe to the proprietors of the houses , who , it is believed , are to be indemnified for their loaaes . Tue discarded women are to be sent home to their relatives in the country , at the public expense , and there maintained until places are found for them as servantsor otherwise , either by the police cr by benevolent societies . Such as belong to the city , or prove to be incorrigible , are to be either sent ( 0 tbe House of Correction , or kept under the superintendence of the police until they are placed . — _GoiignanTs Messenger .

Frost . Williams , and Jones . The room was filled , Mr . W . W . Pickvance occupied tbe chair , and Mr . W . Dixon from "Manchester addressed the meeting upon the subject before them . It was unanimously resolved that the following petition bc adopted , and that signatures be solicited to the same , in the borough . —

      "To the Commons of CreatBritain and Ireland in Parliamtnt assembled . The petition of the inhabitants in the Borough of Bolton , in public meeting assembled , sheweth tbat your petitioners view with feelings of sorrowand rommiseration thc long and painful _sentenco of transportation inflicted upon John Frost , Zephaniah Williams , and John Jones , for participating iu an outbreak at Newport , Wales , in November , 1833 . Your petitioners believe that the time has at length _airivedjwlien clemency maybe shown without any forfeiture of national justice or national interest . Your petitioners have seen with

      great pleasure that her Majesty _^ Government is favourably disposed to this humane measure , as evinced by tho _mitigation ofthe sentence of banishment passed upon the Canadian prisoners , taken in arms in the late insurrection in that country ; they , therefore , pray your honourable House to present an bumble address to her Majesty , praying her to take the case of these men into her consideration , and be graciously pleased to remit the remainder of the sentences , aud thus _rastore them to their distressed wives aad families . And in return for this boon your petitioners will ever prav . "

      It was agreed that P . Ainsworth , Esq . M . P ., be _requeued to present the same and that Dr . Bowring , M . P ., be requested to support it . The f ' oHowiug resolution v _* as _passed , and itwas agreed tbat the petition therein named be signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting . "That this meeting are of opinion , that "Wm . Sberratt Ellis was inuocentof the crime with whicli be was charged , and tbat bis conviction was based on evidence procured it the eipense of honour and conscience . Under these

      circumstances , this meeting resolves to petition tbe Ilouse of Commons , to cause an address to be presented to her Majesty , praying the exercise of theRojaiprerogative for the _restoration of the said William Sberratt Ellis to his country and disconsolate family , " It was also agreed that a memorial signed by the chairman of the meeting , bc forwarded to her Majesty through the Secretary of State for a commutation of the sentence passed upon John Roberts of Birmingham for the alleged offence of participating in the bull-ring riots at tbat town in 1839 .

      _Gheat Meeiisg at Lbicestek . —On Monday evening last , according to announcement in tbe Star , a public meeting was held in the Town Ilall , to petition for the restoration of Frost , Williams , and Jones . The meeting was a bumper , the largest that has been seen in tbe Town Hall for many years ; while every person evinced the utmost enthusiasm in the sacred object for which the meeting had been convened . A large portion of the meeting was composed of the middle classes , all of whom displayed unprecedented feeling of sympathy towards our exiled brethren . Messrs . Mursell and Bloodworth were unable to attend through indisposition , but the former rev . gentleman sent to the meeting a message expressive of his entire and hearty concurrence with the object of the meeting . Mr . Markham ( in the unavoidable temporary absence of the chairman , Mr . Collier Town Councilman ) was called to the chair , and opened the business in a speech full of hearty

      cordiality and co-operation , and introduced Mr . Smart , who , in a terse , telling , and impressive speech , moved the first resolutiou : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a petition be presented from this borough to tbe Ilouse of Commons , praying them to address her Majesty that she would lie pleased to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones . " Mr . _Georje Buckby seconded it in a speech replete with power and pathos , when it was put and carried amid vociferous cheering . Mr . Bairstow then rose to propose the adoption of the petition , which was an echo of the first resolution . He read the affecting letter from Mr . Frost , which appeared in the Star , after which he proceeded , in a somewhat lengthened speech , to review the facts connected with the Newport outbreak , to vindicate the motives and character of the Welsh patriots , and administered a merciless castigation to my Lord " Finality" and the Whig Cabinet , who would have drenched the scaffold with the blood of

      these good men , had it not been for the indignant remonstrances of the people and the unwearied exertions of Pollock aud O'Connor . Mr . Bairstow sat down loudly cheered , and J . Collier , Esq ., Town Councilman , seconded the adoption of the petition in a speech of great feeling and enthusiasm , in the delivery of which he was warmly applauded . Tbe petition was carried unanimously with tremendous applause . The third resolution , —" That T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., be requested to present , and our two borough members , Sir J . Easthope and W . Ellis , Esq ., be requested to support , the petition when presented to the House of Commons , " was carried with great cheering . Votes of thanks being carried tu the mayor for the use of the Town _Uati , and to the chairman for his able presidency , the meeting dispersed .

      _Birmixgham . —At onr meeting on Monday evening the iollowing resolutions were adopted : — " That a public meeting be held in the People ' s Hall on Monday , Jan 19 th , to memorialise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to Frost , Williams , and Jones , of Wales , Roberts , Howell , and Jones , of Birmingham , aud EUis , of the Staffordshire Potteries . "— * ' That tbe following gentlemen be invited to attend the meeting : —F . O'Connor , Esq ., Messrs . Baldwin . Barlow , and Page , town councillors , Mr . Henry Hawkes , & c . " A subscription was entered into for the Exiles ' Widows ' , Orphans ' , and Veteran Patriots' Fund . After other business had been disposed of , the meeting adjourned till next Sunday ; chair to be taken at & re o ' clock .

      __ Resiohatiox 0 ? tub Exiles . —Since the publication of the letter of Mr . Frost and the decision come to by the Chartist convention , the question has been taken up with much spirit in Preston . . A public meeting in behalf of Frost , Williams , Jones , Ellis , and ali other political exiles will take place in the Temperance Hall , on Wednesday evening . A meeting of the deputies from the spinners , shoemakers , iron trades , handloom weavers , powerloom weavers , and others , met the Frost Restoration Committee on Sunday afternoon at Hownth ' s Temperance-hotel , when it was agreed that each trade send a separate petition to be signed by the members of the trade . Others have signified tlieir intended cooperation with us in tbis good work , and we doubt not but that

      petitions will begot up , and numerously signed by at least thirteen trades of the town . A committee of ladies bave volunteered their services to superintend the getting up cf a petition for this humane object , and such is the enthusiasm with which the proposition is received that there is no doubt the signatures of many thousands of the women of Preston will be obtained . WiU the women of Lancashire and Yorkshire remain apathetic after tbe noble example thus set them ! The deputies aud restoration committee agreed , on Sunday afternoon , that letters be sent to Sir George Strickland and Sir Peter Heskett Fleetwood , the members for the borough , requesting to know whether they would present the trades petitions * and give them their support in the Ilouse of

      Commons . Bath . —On Tuesday evening last , a few Chartist friends met at the Green Tree Tavern , BoroughwAiis , to devise the best means for getting a petition numerously signed by the inhabitants of this city ou behalf of the exiled patriots . The _meeting was a spirited one ; each endeavoured to outvie the other in his endeavours to serve the cause of justice and humanity , in restoring to the bosom of their families our banished Mends . A Committee was ' appointed ,

      with secretary and treasurer , and 30 s . were collected from those present towards defraying the expenses that may be incurred in carrying out the above object . With much pleasure wc add , that the old Tetcrans of our locality were at their post . A deputation was appointed to wait on the Mayor with a requisition to obtain the use of the Town Hall , for holding a public meeting . The committee will meet at the above tavern next Tuesday evening , at eight o ' clock , to receive subscriptions . —C . _Bolweu ., Secretary .

      jj iEEiiSB At l ) vw > BtE _3 . —At the ordinary weekly meeting of thejDuinl ' ries and Maxwelltown Working Men s Association , on the evening of Monday , thi * 5 th inst ., the subject of petitioning the House of Commons in favour of the patriotic exiles wa > broached , and very warmly received . It was unanimously resolved , that a petition from these burghs should be got up , and , further , that a public _meeting should be called on that night week , to launch the petition and open the year ' s campaign , and a committee was appointed . to arrange preliminaries . From the want of a public room of any size , the committee experienced great difficulty in carrying out the views of their constituents ; what is by courtesy termed the Town Hall will barely accommodate 101 ) , packed like herrings , even could the potent , grave , pot-bellied , and reverend seignors , our collective wisdom be expected to allow its desecration , by _permitting a Chartist meeting within the hallowed

      precincts . The Trades Hall , where many a rousing meeting has been held , is at present occupied as a sak-room . The old Assembly-n oms , although out of the hands of that Free Kirk scamp , the Rev . Dagald _M'Kenzie , has been newly painted and decorated , aud refused for trades' balls , so that thero was no hope in that quarter . Hence , after much cogitation , the committee were forced to cut the d _^ raoDstrution portion of their arrangements away , and content themselves with a school-room in Irishstreet , occupied several years ago as au Independent chapel , and capable of accommodating , with a squeeze , about live hundred . There , accordingly , tbe public meeting took place , at the hour appointed ( eight o ' clock on the evening of the 12 ta ); but , partly from its being held in an _unaccustomed place ( agrcat drawback inacase of this kind ) , and perhaps , in some degree for fear of a crush iii those who were acquainted with tbe place , the

      Meetings In Behalf Of The Chartist Exile...

      gathering was not a crowded one , What was wanting in numbere , however , was abundantly made up in enthusiasm ; and , altogether , _takingevery adverse circumstance into consideration , we njade a very good "be"innin' o't . " ' Onthe motion of Mr . James Kirk , seconded by Mr . John M ' Call , Mr . George Lewis , nail-maker , was called to the chair . The chairman , in a series of sensible and touching observations , unfolded the business of the meeting , concluding with the reading and commenting on Mr . Frost ' saffecting letter to Mr . Sweet . He then called upon Mr . Archibald M'Auslan , who , in a short address , introduced the first resolutiou , which pledged tne meeting to petition for the release of the Newport

      victims . It was seconded by Mr . Charles Murray , and carried unanimously . Mr . Andrew Wardrop , after a speech of great power , and one that told with much effect on his audience , in fact , one of the best , both as regards matter and maimer that we ever had the pleasure of listening to from him , proposed the second resolution , or the addition ofthe name * of William Sherrat Ellis to those of Frost , Williams and Jones . This resolution , having beeu seconded by Mr . James Shaw , was also carried by acclamation , as was a petition to thc Commons , founded on these resolutions , proposed by Mr . Wardrop , and seconded by Mr . Hugh M'Gregor . It was also resolved , on the recommendation of the chairman— " That Mr .

      Ewart , member tor the Dumfries district of Burghs , should be requested to support the prayer of tho oetition , which will bo forwarded in due time to the member for all Great Britain for presentation ; and no doubt Mr . Ewatt will , and cheerlull ); > . " Intimation was then given that sheets and signing materials were in the room , and that while others would He for a week in certain places of public resort , it was probable that some ofthe larger workshops would be visited for signatures . After three cheers for the exiles , and another round for the Charter , the meeting separated . It was stated , in the course of the evening by one of the speakers , that a meeting was contemplated , although not in the meantime by thc Chartist _narty . to consider the threatened calling out

      of the militia , or rather " conscription , " and perhaps the most effective hit of tbeeyening was tbat made by Mr . Wardrop , when he instanced the liability of the _werkingdasses to be forced to fight for a system they detest as a proof of their slavery . The calling out of the militia has caused a greatsensation in this quarter , particularly among the working classes , and no wonder . The balloting is just the old tyrannous system of pressing with a constitutional face . The government have had recourse to it _simply because the people will not enlist . All kinds . of cvasory schemes are talked of—some talk of going to gaol , others , fonder of fresh air , of going on tramp , and all would very much like au article o " n the subject in the Star . —Dumfries , Jan . 13 th , 1816 .

      LONDON . _Metropoiitas Distkict Couxcit . —This body met at the Chartist Hall , Turnagain-lane , 011 Sunday , January the llth . Mr . Hall , of the Tower Hamlets , was called to the chair . Mr . John Simpson moved " That thi » Council deem it advisable at this period thatthe Chartist body , in all its meetings throughout the kingdom , should take into consideration the subject of the Embodiment of the Militia , and that the people at such meetings should be requested to answer the following question— ' Ought any man , not having a voice in making the laws of the nation , to be called on to take un arms in defence of the nation V

      Mr . Thomas Mills seconded the resolution , which was ably supported by Messrs . Rogers , Milne , Stallwood , and T . M . Wheeler , and curried unanimously . A vote of thanks was unanimously passid to Mr . Edmund Stallwood for the services be has rendered to the Council . Mr . Stallwood stated that , in accordance with a resolution passed by the Council , a petition was now being got up jointly by the men of Hammersmith and Fulhaiu , on behalf of Frost _y "Williams , and Jones ; also , one ou behalf of W . Ellis ; and that each bid fair to be very numerously signed . A vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman , the Council adjourned until Sunday afternoon , the 25 th instant .

      Westminster . —A crowded public meeting -was held at thc Parthenium , 12 , St . Martin ' s-lane , on Sunday evening , January 11 . Mr . Buckley was unanimously called to the chair , and briefly opened the-proceedings . Mr . Milne reported that the Metropolitan District Council had that day passed a resolution calling on all localities to take up the subject of the militia , and also to answer the question , if any man who had no vote should carry a musket ? He could only say his motto was— " No vote , no Mt'SKEr I" ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Thomas Clark , of tho Executive Committee , was then introduced , and delivered au address on " the present slate and future prospects of the people ' s cause . " Mr . Clark then very ably showed the present state of the

      Chartist cause , and reviewed most lucidly the past and present doings of both factions—landlords and cotton lords—and demonstrated that tbey were both equally opposed to the progress of Chartism—equally opposed to the extension of the franchise to thc mass of the people . Mr . Clark then powerfully elucidated the policy recommended by thc recent Chartist Convention held in Manchester . That policy was , that Chartists * should staud aloof from all patties at present , w atch passing events , and take advantage of incidents as they arose . A time would come , and that shortly , when all their activity and united wisdom would be required , whieh well directed activity must ultimately lead to the _establishment of the " rights of man , " as defined in the People ' s Charter .

      ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark then showed the great progress made and making by the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , not ouly in the manufacturing but also in the agricultural districts . . The directors had recently established two flourishing districts , one at Sudbury , and the other at Pershore . ( Hear , hear . ) The board bad also an intention of agitating the labourers of Berkshire , Buckinghamshire , and Wiltshire , on the same subject . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr . Clark concluded a somewhat lengthy and eloquent discourse , and resumed his seat amidst great applause . A discussion then ensued-, in which Messrs . Stallwood , Ford , _Milnes , Wheeler , and the lecturer took part , after which a vote of thankswiis passed by acclamation totbelecturer , and the meeting dissolved .

      IPSWICH , On Sunday evening last an adjourned meeting of friends favourable to the Chartist Co-operative Laud Society was held in the Castle Inn , in this town , when a branch of the above association was formed , and nine shares taken . Our time ot meeting is Tuesday , at half-past seven .

      BRADFORD . At a meeting of Chartists , held on Sunday evening last at Butterworth-buildings , Mr . John Rogers in the chair , Mr . Thomas Cole proposed the following resolution : — " That we , the Chartists of Bradford , cannot sufficiently express our indignation at the baseness of Daniel O'Connell , in adding to his other inglorious titles that of " Common 1 . n _ . okmkr " to the Tory Government , and especially towards our worthy and esteemed friend , Patrick O'Higgins , Esq ., to whom we tender our sympathy and thanks for his services io the people ' s cause , whilst we

      accord our censure to tbe misnamed " Liberator (!)" for this crowning act to his former baseness , and hypocrisy . " Mr . Walker Stead seconded the motion , and it was carried unanimously . The council have received six collecting-books from Mr . Thos . Cooper for the Veteran Patriots' and Exiles' Widows' and Orphans' Fund , which will , no doubt , be attended to by them . No good Chartist can object giving liis mite to Buck a praiseworthy undertaking . Surely such men as Rich _? . rd _» , Preston , and Davenport should not be allowed to end their days in an accursed bastile , nor the wives and children of " our absent friends" be allowed to starve .

      MANCHESTER . On Sunday last Mr . O'Connor s letter , commenting on the arrest of Mr . O'Higgins , through the baseness of O'Connell , was read to the meeting , and caused great sensation , * after wliich the concluding part of the letter from thc Augsburg Gazette was read , the audience responding to it by crying " that ' s true . " Then the _ehairina . ' . . introduced the lecturer , Mr . E . Clark , cropper . The lecturer ' commenced by saying he _ would relate an anecdote : —Au old man , once hearing a lecture in this hall , one Sunday evening , upon tbe value of co-operation , thought proper to solicit another old man in bis neighbourhood to join bim in forming a fund to commence a co-operative store . He did so , and each paid first week od . —

      tbat would bo ls . ud . —they continued to subscribe Id . a week afterwards . After a time , they got others io join them , aud the result has been that in _Droylsden , Ashton , Oldham , and another place adjacent , this co-operative society has opened no less _thau five co-operative stores , and has a capital of a thousand pounds . That , said the lecturer , - is the value of co-operation . The lecturer next took a glance at the various cooperations existing , showing all Fire Insurance Companies , Railway Companies , Gas Works' Companies , were so many cooperative societies . The lecture was an able " one , and at the conclusion a vote of thanks was given to the lecturer and chairman , aud tbe meeting separated . Several shares in the Laad Society were taken up .

      ' FRAMEWORK KNITTERS' MOVEMENT . An Act of Parliament ivhieh passed the Leg islature on tbe 4 th of August last year , came into operation on the 1 st instant ; but that being Thursday , and not a general delivery day at thc warehouses , tlie hands generally worked the week out , as usual , in order that uo comp laint might be wade ofthe ivorkmen ' s haste , knowing , as they did , that the agents had not heen provided by _tbivnawafactwers with tickets . Of course , the . men expected that ou Monday nil would be prepared ; but in tin ' s the workmen hare boen deceived , for , in most instances , both employers and agents who gave tickets did

      not comply with the forms laid down by law , hut gave tickets to serve thoir own purposes , demanding in ninny instances more work with 110 ' advance of wages . This being refused by the hands , a meeting was convened j and a deputation appointed to wait on the mayor to request the use of the Town Hall to hold a meeting in- A fter conversing with the deputation , the Jlayor deferred granting the use of the Hull until he iiad seen some of the other magistrates . Tlie Mayor said it was his opinion that the Ticket bill eould not bo carried out—it gave so much trouble ; to the manufacturers . The workmen then determined to call a meeting by the bellman , wliich took place ut the King George on Horseback inn , and from thence adjourned to the _Mnrket-j-lace . Mote than three thousand workmen were present , who aootitcd the following resolutions . _*—•

      " That we , tho workmen employed in the frameworkknitting branches , in public meeting assembled , do resolve that , whereas o law has been _jiasscd to compel _manufacturcrs to deliver a . ticket with the material to be wroug ht into hosiery goods , pledge ourselves to use every legal means to enforce the same , by bringing all manufacturers who refuse to obey the law , before a justice of the _pwice . And we will never rest satisfied until the law is fully carried out . " _< « ' That whereas ' statements' havo been delivered by thc workmen employed iu the several branches oi the framework-knitting trade to Hie emp loyers , we resolve to work to , and be guided by those statements . " " That , in order to encourage our fellow workmen to enforce the law against non-complying manufacturers , ire pledge ourselves to support to tha utmost of our power those who may bc victimised by such agent or employer for doing his duty , by contributions raised as a victim fund . "

      " That , in order fully to establish a power whereby the foregoing resolution miiy be carried into effect , we pledge ourselves to unite , and induce others to do so , without loss of time , " " That the committee be empowered to take such steps as shall be doemed by tliem best calculated to improve the condition of the _woi-kmun , by waiting upon persons whoso influence may be deemed of importance in our present struggle , " " That these resolutions be _sentjto the press for inscrtion . "

      Framewovk-kuitters , you are thrown out of employment by your employers for endeavouring to enforce the law of the laud . These gentlemen , having a full knowledge of your sufferings—sufferings such as no other body ol men are enduring , and this , too , has been caused by the repeated reductions and exactions of your employers and their agents—by ashing for work which they do not pay . for ( such as is called "bump" ) , and this to the enormous weight of from two to seven ounces in a dozen of hose , i ' ou are , therefore , called upon to unito in selfdefence .

Fresh u _^ to-il » y tram fcsacx , a fair average quantity of wheat ' came to hand coastwise , as well as by land carri » ge . Owing to the caution eviuced on the part of Ue dealers , mest of whom were . short of stock , thc ile . _'nand for all kinds of Eng lish wheat was in a very _sluggish state ; hence , to eftect sales - , tke factors were compelled to give way in their demands . We have , therefore , to report a decline in the value of selected qualities of Is ., and in j that of other kinds of 2 s . per quarter , at which amount of depression very little progress was made

      in clearing tlio stands . Tlie bIiow ot tree loreign wheat was small , nevertheless the inquiry for that article was inactive , and prices had a downward tendency , though not to the extent to warrant us m altering our quotations . Corn under Jock ruled almost nominal in value . Thc supply ot barley being considerably more than equal to thc wants ot the trade , the sale i ' or that article was excessively heavy , at an abatement in the currencies ot Is . to 2 s . per quarter , and a large portion remained unsold at tbe close of the market . Although the receipts of malt were good , the malt trade may bc considered tolerably steady , at previous quotations . Notwithstanding the arrivals of oats from Ireland , as well aa our own coasts , were _anail , and tlio _holders were generally firm from that circumstance , the oat trade must be considered inactive , at barely stationary ' prices . Beans and peas were in moderate supply , and heavy inquiry , at last week ' s currencies . Flour moved off-heavily , but no decline was submitted to by the
