      PORTUGAL . _ILtsbox , Jan . 8 . —The Chambers were opened on , 2 nd inst . by royal commission , the Queen not raring been able to attend in _consequence of her _liiranced state of gestation . The Spanish Government is evidently apprehensive that the partisans of _^ artero may make an irruption into Spain from _unie part of the Portuguese frontier . This seems , > beavciy groundless fear , as the number of re _agecs herejs quite insignificant , and they are more iqicr kept under strict surveillance by the Portuguese ravcrnment . _NN evertheless , it is said , that a cordon ' Spanish troops is forming along the frontier , and aat 3 , 000 men have very recently arrived at Ayaaonte on tie river _Guadiana , which separates Alnrre from _Andalnsia _.

Such remonstrance , urged iu no unfriendly spirit to sico , was called for by considerations of an imperative aracivr , having relation as -well _io ihe peace of this

      entry and honour of this Government as to the cause of [ inanity and civilisation . Texas had entered into the totv of annexation upon Ihe invitations ofthe executive ; B when , for that act , she teas threatened -with a renewal the war on the part of Mexico , she naturally looked to IS Government to interpose its efforts to ward off the hatenedblow . pa t one course was left the executive , acting within the pits of its constitutional competency , and that was to _ptest , in respectful hut at the same time strong and ue-N terms , against it The war thus threatened to be _pewed was promulgated hy edicts and decrees , which Bercd , on the part of the Mexican military , the desolan of whole tracts of country , and the destruction , tliout discrimination , of an ages , sexes , and conditions existence . - > Over the manner of _conducting war , Mexico possesses

She has no right to violate at asure the principles which an enlightened civilisation 6 laid down for the conduct of nations at war ; and _sreby retrograde to aperiod of barbarism Which , hapy for the world , has Jong since passed away . All na-¦ ns are interested in enforcing an observation of those _inciples , and the United States , the oldest ofthe Ainerin republics , and the nearest of the civilised powers to i theatre on which these enormities were proposed to he acted , could not quietly content themselves to witness _chaste of things .

      And when our Minister has invited the attention of her government to wrongs committed by her local authorities , not only on the property hut on the persons of our _feUowcitizens , engaged in prosecuting fair and honest pursuits , she has added insult to injury , hy not even deigning , for months together , to return an answer to his representations . Still further to mauifest her unfriendly feelings towards the United States , she has issued decrees expelling from her provinces American citizens engaged in the peaceful pursuits of life , and now . denies to those of our citizens prosecuting the whale fishery on the north-west coast of the Pacific the privilege which has , through all time heretofore , bees accorded to them , of exchanging goods of a small amount in value at her ports in California , for supplies indispensable to their health and comfort .

      " ~ Sov will it escape the observation of Congress , that in conducting a correspondence with the Minister ofthe United States , who cannot , and does not , know-any distinction between the geographical sections of the Union , charges wholly unfounded are made against particular states , and an appeal to others for aid and protection against supposed wrongs . In this same connection , sectional prejudices are attempted to be excited , and the hazardous and unpardonable effort is made to foment divisions among the states of the Union , thereby to embitter their peace . Mexico has still to learn that , however freely we may indulge in discussion among ourselves , the American people will tolerate no interference in their domestic affairs . by any foreign Government ; and in all that concerns tile constitutional guarantees and the national honour , the people of the United States have but one mind and one heart .

      The subject of annexation addresses itself most fortu . nately to every portion of the Union . The executive would have been unmindful of its highest obligations if it could have adopted a course of policy dictated by sectional interests and local feelings . On the contrary , it wag because the question was neither local nor sectional , but made its appeal to thc interests of the whole Union , and of every state in the Union , that the negotiation , and finally the treaty of annexation , were entered into ; and it has afforded mc no ordinary pleasure to perceive that , so far as demonstrations have been made upon it by the people , they have proceeded from all portions of the Union . Mexico may seek to excite divisions among us , by uttering unjust denunciations against particular states , but when she comes to know that the invitations addressed

      to our fellow-citizens by Spain , and afterward by herself , to settle Texas , were accepted ly emigrants from all the States ; and when , in addition to this , she refreshes her recollection with the fact , that the first effort which was made to acquire Texas was during the administration of a . distinguished citizen from an eastern state , which was afterward renewed under the auspices of a President from the south-west , she will awake to a knowledge of the _mtility of her present purpose of sowing dissensions among us , or producing distraction in our councils , by attacks cither on particular states , or on persons who are now in the retirement ' of private life .

      Considering the appeal which she now makes to eminent citizens by name , can she hope to escape censure for having ascribed to them , as weU as to others , a design , as she pretends now , for the first time revealed , of having originated negotiations to despoil her , hy duplicity and falsehood , of a portion of her territory ? The opinion then , as now , prevailed with the executive , that the annexation of Texas to the Union was a matter of vast

      importance . In order to acquire that territory before it had assumed a position among the independent powers of the earth , propositions were made to Mexico for a cession of it to the United States . Mexico saw in these proceedings at the time no cause of complaint . She is now , when simply reminded of them , awakened to the knowledge of thefact , which she , through her Secretary of State , promulgates to the whole world as true , that those negotiations were founded in deception and falsehood , and superinduced by unjust and iniquitous motives .

      While Texas was a dependency of Mexico , the United States opened negotiations with the latter power for the cession of her then acknowledged territory ; and now that Texas is independent of Mexico , and has maintained a separate existence for nine years , during which time she has been received into ihe family of nations , and is represented by accredited ambassadors at many of the principal courts of Europe , and when it has become obvious to thc whole world that she is for ever lost to Mexico , the United States is charged with deception and falsehood in aU relating to the past , and condemnatory accusations are made against states which have no special agency in the matter , because the executive of the whole Union has negociated with free and independent Texas upon a matter vitally important to the interests of both countries .

      And after nine years of unavailing war , Mexico now announcesher intention , through her Secretary of foreign Affairs , never to consent to the independence of Texas , or to abandon the effort to reconquer that republic . She thus _annonnses a perpetual claim , which at the end of a _century-will furnish her as plausible a ground for discontent against any nation , which at the end of that time may enter into a treaty with Texas , as she possesses at tins moment against the United States , The lapse of time can add nothing to her title to independence .

      A course of conduct snch as has been described on thc _, part of Mexico , in violation of all friendly feeling , and of the courtesy which should characterise the intercourse between the nations of the earth , might well justify the United States in a resort to any measure to vindicate their national honour ; hut , actuated by a sincere desire to preserve the general peace , and in a view of the present condition of Mexico , the executive , resting npon its integrity , and not fearing but that the judgment of the world will duly appreciate its motives , abstains from recommending to Congress a resort to measures of redress , and contents itself with re-urging upon that _Jbodyjprompt and immediate action on the subject of annexation . By adopting that measure , the United States will be in the exercise of an undoubted right ; and if Mexico , not regarding that forbearance , shall aggravate the injustice of her conduct by a declaration of war against them , upon her head win rest all the responsibility .

      LATER FROM THE UNITED STATES . _IavEBPOoi , Tuesday . — The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Acadia , Captain Harrison , arrived in the Mersey at an early hour this morning . Coxgbess . —Asxexatms . — Another joint resofu tion , providing for the annexation of Texas to the United States , "in conformity with the treaty of 1803 for the purchase of Louisiana , " was making way through the House of Representatives , having been introduced , read a first and second tune , and referred to the committee of the whole house , to one day . The New York Herald states , that annexation would be consummated in the course of a few days bv both houses , on a joint resolution , composed of that just noted and the plan introduced by Mr . Weller , and detailed in our previous summary . The Texian question would becalled up in the house about

      the 30 th " ultimo . No further agitation ol the uregon question had taken place . State News . —The " Anti-Rent" troubles in the state of New York continue , and are multiplying . Troops have been sent into the disturbed districts , and mischief is expected . The Senate of Missouri had passed a joint resolution , loaning ( virtually giving a company of Oregon emigrants the two brass field pieces and arms furnished by the General Government to the state . The Ohio Legislature had passed resolutions opposing the annexation of Texas as unconstutlonal—as involving the country in an unjust war with Mexico—as rendering the United States liable for the debts of Texas—and as involving their country in guilt , and subjecting it to the reproach of cherishing , sustaining , and perpetuating the evils of slavery , by a majority of seven votes—the numbers being ayes , 3 S : noes , 31 . determined

      Slavebx . —The slave-holders seem to check the Abolitionists entering their territories . Miss Delia Webster , recently convicted of aiding slaves to escape at Lexington , Kentucky , Las been sentenced to two years' confinement in the _Ponitententiary ; the Rev , Mr , Tony , at Baltimore , convicted of a similar act , to several terms of confinement , amounting in tie whole to seven years and three months ; and Mr . Walker , Missouri , and Mr . Kelly , in Virginia , havebad the like sentences passed npon them . Dreadful Steam Boat Accidest . —The Cincinnati Gazette of the 21 st ult . contains an account of a disastrous collision between two steam boats , the one bound from New Orleans for Nashville , the other from Memphis for that place , by which the former was entirely demolished . Her hull parted from her cabin and sank immediately ; the cabin floated oil with the persons in it , and was landed a short distance from the scene of the disaster : tMrty-one lives are said to have been lost .

      MEXICO . Ihpobiasi News . —Mabch oj ? tbe _Bxvolvtios . _--£ Sbcbbi _Combujatios io wmi Mkk » tome UNiren _StatesI-The _acwnntefrom Mexico _present that _counfaytobe in a ¦ _^ _fifSjj far greater than previous aecounta nave given . _SnefalParedes , the insurgent general , »« _Wedto _K _TOcraaeu % fore * to _^ _Sa _^ had disaffection is said it , have spread . Santa _Aninvnan left _Gnadaloupe , with Manny _^> f d »« t » _jsmuiar number , on £ 21 st of November , J _^ _SS where ib _» insurgents w _« e conoenfratea , carrying

      with him a large sum of money . Onthe day of his departure he issued an address to the people of Mexico , which ' occupies nearly nine columns in El Censor of Vera Cruz , displays great tact , is written with much apparent candour , and ¦ abounds , in professions of patriotism and self-denial . He reviews the history of Mexico from 1821 to the present time , and takes for himself sufficie nt credit for his military and civil services during that period . He disavows having made any attempt to assume power , dissolve Congress , or usurp the functions of any of the departments . He even affects to complain of the load of responsibilities that had been thrown upon him by the plan of Tucubaya , which left him , for a time , with the weight of absolute authority upon his shoulders . He protests that he has no desire to

      overthrow the basis of Tucubaya . He reiterates hhi determination to reconquer Texas , a subject which is to lum , according to his own expression , exceedingly painful ( dolorosa ) . He disavows any misapplication of the public funds , and ends by declaring his belief that Providence , seeing the justness of hia cause , will bring him through his troubles and enable him to achieve the peace and prosperity ofthe country , his own included . This is about the substance of what is said in the immense document before us , when divested of the egotism and pretension in which it is smothered . Tlascala , Apetatotla , and Ohantempan , hi the department of Puebla , had declared in favour ofthe movement in Jalisco , it is said . One letter states that it was monientarilv _exoected that

      _General Pedro Cortazar , residing at Celayai , in the state of Guanajuato , would come out in favour ofthe plan of Faredes . A letter from him had been intercepted , in which he expressed himself in strong terms against Santa Anna , declaring clearly that he is not for bun , and moreover so compromising himself that he has no other resource than to openly embrace the cause ofthe Revolutionists . Should this prove true , Santa Anna has a popular and powerful officer arrayed against him . Meanwhile , thc Provisional President had endeavoured , unsuccessfully , to procure the cooperation of Congress in quelling the disturbances , improving the Treasury , and strengthening the bonds

      of unity with friendly Powers , the Assembly _optnly favouring Paredes , the _revolting general . Congress adopted a revolution on the 18 th ult ., atthe instance and under the proffered protection of Paredes , holding tho Provisional Government to its responsibility to the Legislature and the country , according to thc Cth article of the plan of Tucubaya . Senor Rcjon , Minister of Foreign Affaire , the next day protested , in the name ofthe Government , against this action of Congress , and remonstrated against the recognition of a right in any citizen , in open rebellion against the Government , to memorialize the Legislature upon matters of this nature .

      The Nive York Sim makes the following announcement of the existence of a secret society in Mexico , having for its ultimate object the annexation of that country to the United States , in which the most influential men of Mexico , together with Santa Anna , are joined : — " Some time sinco a most singular document was placed in our possession , which we did not then use , partly because its contents were not at our absolute disposal , and partly because we did not give it the consideration to which subsequent events have proved it was entitled . 'It contained , in full detail , the plan of an association , or secret society , hi Mexico , whose members were mutually pledged to labour for the political and absolute union of Mexico with the

      United States ofthe North [ la union politica y absoluta entrc los Estados Unidos del Norte y Mexico ) and gives the reasons for this bold and original determination . The names appended are among the most influential in Mexico—men intimately acquainted with the spirit and working of our institutions . The following is a synopsis of thc constitution of this society : — , "' 1 . That secure , congenial , and perfect Republicanism is the best motive and nearest tie for political relationship . 2 . That liberty of person and conscience , security in all the rights of property and citizenship , and free encouragement , the pursuit of happiness and improvement , form the just inheritance of every child of a true republic , and to

      secure this to all liis countrymen shouldbe the ardent desire of every patriot . 3 . These blessings are notfully enjoyed by the citizens of Mexico , in consequence of incessant _z-evolutions , while the United States' repose tranquilly on the strength of permanent institutions . 4 . Foreign nations , taking unjust advantage of these intestine divisions , have involved Mexico in obligations to European Powers , which are disastrous to her prosperity and dangerous to the independence of an American Renublic . That conditions growing out of those obligations are continually imposed upon Mexico with an audacity and injustice which the same Powers would not presume to offer to the United States , or to Mexico , if , like the United States , she had been at peace with herself . 5 . Owing to the incessant civil wars , the unequalled natural

      resources of the country are undeveloped , industry discouraged , and the education ofthe mass , the great lever of national elevation , is neglected hi the same proportion that the same aro cherished in the United States—hence the prospects , unexampled in the history of the world , of the latter nation . 6 . To apply the civic strength { la energia gobernadora ) of the United States to thc immense capabilities of Mexico would make tho united nation the greatest empire in the world . This should be the object of all liberal republicans , and in . this work every patriot whose noble heart will not bound its benevolence by mountains and rivers will engage all its strength . '

      " The practicability of uniting the two national families is ingeniously set forth , and another day we will go into the Yicws of' Young Mexico' more fully . At present we can only state our conviction that a secret society , having for its ultimate object a union of Mexico and tho United States , does exist . " [ Very ike a whale !}

      LATER FROM MEXICO . Most Important . —Triumph of the _Revolutionists . — -The Acadia brings the following important news from Mexico , via New . York , where Mr . Gushing had arrived from Vera Cruz , which port the vessel left on the 12 th ult . All accounts agree in representing Santa Anna's position as becoming most desperate . Nearly all the principal towns arc said to have declared against him , whilst he seems to be quartered at _Quertaro with onl y a small force . The revolution is represented as having passed off very quietly , no blood haying heen shea . The former revolution having been eaiTicd on bv one party of military against another , resulted in much loss of life ; but this movement coming from the people as well as

      from the soldiery , mates thethinggeneral , and hence the little commotion of adisagrecablc nature . Santa Anna is said to have but little chance of overcoming this , movement , and it was a matter of conjecture whether he would attempt to escape , or deliver himself up . It seems that on the 7 th ult . Santa Anna was proclaimed Dictator , and all seemed to go on well , but , about mid-day , the troops barracked in the Accordada Saint Francis , and the citadel , pronounced against Santa Anna and Canalizo ; at the head of the movement was General Don Jose" J . Herrera , President of tho Council , who addressed a oroclamation tothe city , calling on it to sustain him .

      The whole Congress immediately threw itself into the arms of Hcrrera _. who immediately took possession of the national palace without bloodshed . The Congress constituted its sessions permanent . The ex-Ministers fled . Canalizo is in arrest at his own house . The statue of Santa Anna in the peristilo of the theatre was destroyed , and an attempt was made tO break the bronze one in the Market-plaee , but it was prevented by the authorities . On the next night General Herrera had it privately removed . The new authorities maintained perfect quiet . The Chambers are represented as being occupied in devising means to remedy the _^ calcula ble injury the country has suffered ,

      CANADA . The _Canadian Parliament adjourned on the 20 th ult ., for a period of seventeen days . The Royal assent had been withheld from the Secret Societies Suppression Bill , on the ground of its being arbitrary and unconstitutional ; and a hope was expressed that seeret associations would be voluntarily terminated , under the influence and exhortations of the Executive , The Montreal IkraM chronicles renewed outrages by the labourers on the Lachine Canal . Mr . Angus M'Pherson , a merchant of Lancaster , had been attacked by a party of them , first with stones and then with clubs , knocked down , cruelly beaten , and left for dead .

      GREECE . Foreign Interference . — Correspondence from Athens ofthe 31 st ult . announces that the chief subject of conversation in that capital is a note , Baidto be communicated hy Austria to the other great Power , directing their attention to Greek affairs , and suggesting that the foilowing resolutions should be agreed to between them : — " 1 . That considering the dispositions obligatory which established the Hellenic kingdom , the 40 th article of the Constitution should be repressed , which requires that the heir to the throne should be of the Greek Church . 2 . That the Powers , being determined to regard the present boundaries of Greece as decidedly fixed , disapprove any attempt to extend them . 3 . That desiring the consolidation of the Greek Monarchy , they should see with displeasure any attempt to dis turb the tranquillity of the interior . "

" He contended that free admission would induce all members of tho profession to join their ranks , and march on shoulder to shoulder , instead of being continually divided by bickerings and joalousies . In conclusion , he impressed on the meeting thc oft-repeated fact , that the mischief in all trades is done by the noa-unionists and non-employed members ; hence his anxiety to make the terms of admission within the reach of every member of thc profession . After some further discussion , a committee was appointed , who are to adopt the best means in their power to ascertain the probable number of members who are willing to join the Association ; and the terms of admission , we anticipate , will be regulated by the result .

      The Provisional Committee of Compositors , appointed at th © above meeting , solicit from the fathers of ehapcls , and other members of the trade , immediate attention to the following regulations ' . —1 . That a list of tho names of those persons in each office who are willing to become members of the London Society in connection with the National Typographical Association , be forwarded to the Falcon Tavern , on or before Saturday , the 18 th , or Monday , the 20 th inst . Individuals who may not havo an opportunity of entering their names on such office lists , may enter themat the Falcon Tavern , on the erenings of those days . 2 . That no list or name will be received after ten o'clock on the evening of tho 20 th ; and only those persons who have then signified their intention to become members will have the power of voting for the

      required officers ofthe Association . The provisional committee also acquaint tho trade that a general meeting of those persons who have given in their names , in conformity with the above regulations , will be held at the British and Foreign School Rooms , Harp-alloy , Farringdon-street , on Wednesday evening , January 22 , 1845 , at half-past eight o ' clock , for the purpose of appointing the district hoard , the London committee , and the requisite officers ; and determining when , the subscriptions to tho Association shall commence in London . W . _Patev , chairman . — As a misapprehension appears to prevailj which

      might induce persons to withhold their names , the provisional committee deem it right to observe , that all persons who are more than twelve months in arrear to the London Union are admissible as members of the National Typographical Association on the payment of five shillings entrance-fee ( two shillings and iixpenco to be paid on entrance , and the remainder within the two following months ) . I Persons who have not hitherto belonged to any society are admissible on the same terms . Individuals who are members of existing societies , and areinarrear less than five shillings , must pay up tho balance due , within six months after the commencement of the

      _AnEBDEBif . _—Co-orouATiONSoiREK . —ASoiree ofthe members and friends of the Aberdeen Association of Producers was held on the evening of Tuesday last , in the Hall , 38 , George street ; Mr , Robert M'Intosh in the chair . The number present was about two hundred , besides a considerable sprinkling of juveniles , of whom no note was taken by the steward . After justice had been done to the acknowledged excellence of thc supplies which were fm'nished from the Association store , and after listening to some sweet strains from the orchestra , the business of the evening was ; opened by the chairman , who congratulated them on the goodly muster which the meeting presented of the friends ofthe co-operativo principle , and stated , that although a great

      deal had not been done hero , yet a beginning had been made , and he thought that the present meeting bore evidence that it would soon be appreciated by the working classes , and carried out to its fullest extent , not only in Aberdeen , but everywhere else throughout the country . After a few other remarks , the chairman sat down amidst the applause of tho meeting . Mr . Robert Robinson then addressed them , and in a clear andforcible speech pointed out the good effects that would result to the producers of wealth if the co-operative principle were generally adopted , and , after expressing his satisfaction at the rapid increase that had taken place in the business , as well as in tho Association , since they opened their shop , 47 , Gallowgate , about six months ago , sat down

      amidst thc hearty plaudits ofthe meeting . Next followed Mr . Patrick Ironside , thc salesman , who addressed the meeting in a neat and effective speech , remarkable for the great humour with which it abounded . Mr . Ironside was heartily cheered when he sat down , —Mr . James _Macpherson then addressed the meeting , and after stating the pleasure he felt at seeing such a numerous and respectable meeting ofthe friends and members ofthe Association , and more especially at seeing so many of the fair sex present , gaid , that no good cause ever prospered that did not enlist in its favour female sympathy and support . It was so seldom however , said he , that they got their fair friends altogether , that he cotdd not afford to lose the time he might be allowed to address them in band ving compliments , and would therefore state to them , as briefly as possible , what he considered to be their duty , if they wanted to ensure tho success of the Association : he said that

      the wives , mothers , sisters , and daughters of the working classes of Aberdeen and the neighbourhood had thc expending of all tho money , or nearly all the money earned by them , which he believed amounted to upwards of ten thousand pounds weekly ; now out of all this they were only getting about £ 40 a week , which , although a good sum , and about three times the amount that they drew at first , yet was only as a drop in the bucket compared to the whole . Mr . M . then shewed that if they wanted to have their children better fed , better clothed , and better lodged —if they wanted to have the means of giving them a better education—if they wanted to have the power of keeping them under their own hand , until their minds were more matured , and good habits formed , before they sent them forth to mix with a vicious and degenerato world , they would come promptly forward , and lend all the support in their power to this Association . They did not want them , he continued , to lose anything by supporting it ; they did not even call upon them to mak

      any payment towards a share , unless they were quite able and willing : all they wanted was , that they would take care not to spend one farthing of their money anywhere else , when tho profits on their trade would be placed to their credit , and as soon as it amounted to the price of a share they would become members , and enjoy all the privileges of members who had paid their shares in cash . Mr . Macpherson further said , that he wished to guard against thc idea that he bore any ill feeling against the shopkeepers , or that he wished to coerce them by these means . No , no—he saw that they ( the Association ) were only using their own to hel p themselves , and could , not be found fault with for so doing . But , said he , it may be thought that this is but a small affair to promise such mighty results .

      Lot those who thought so , recollect that this was only the first part of their operations—that , as yet , they were only receiving the profit on consumption ; but even this was a great deal ,- even in this there was a principle at work for their redemption from social and political thraldom—a principle which would soon work out their emancipation , for , when once set a going , it was never idle ; it neither slumbered nor slept ; for , said he , the members of tills Association cannot sit down to a meal that has not paid its quota ; cannot put on an article of clothing that haa not paid its mite ; nay , the very bed on which they rest their wearied limbs , has yielded its profit towards thc purchasing of their freedom , and , through their freedom , the freedom ofthe whole human race . Yet this was only consumption , - but

      some eight or ten years henee , when they had a few thousand pounds to spare to set them a going , a concern of spinning and weaving , like the Braodford Works—when Ihe members who would be employed there appointed , by a committee of their number , their own managers and overseers ; when they received their weekly wages as at present—but when , in addition to that , they received at the end of every six nrcmths the whole profits of the concern divided among them , instead of going into . the pocket of an employer , then , and not till then , would this Association te in full operation . Mr . Macpherson continued for . ' some time in the same strain , and then conclude ! by a powerful appeal to all present in

      to come forward and aid , by every r- _^ _ns thenpower , in extending the influence W _:. _'l power ofthe Assnoi & _iioa . ' _Theniccti / ig , _wmuihiidiit ; cnlioioi . ; , _^ with the most breathless attention during this address , then gave one general burst ; of approbation . Tho body of the Hall was then cleared , aud tho young men and maidens enjoyed the dance for a couple of hours , when they separated in the highest good humour with each other , and all expressing a wish that they might soon again meet and spend such another pleasant and profitable evening . Thus ended the first public appearance of this Association , which has been established by a few good Chartists , and . is likely to prosper , and become a stay and protection to the poor and oppressed in this quarter .

      Aggregate Meeting op the Manchester Building Trades . —An aggregate meeting of tho Building Trades of Manchester was held in the Carpenters ' Hall , on Saturday evening , Jan . 11 th , to take into consideration certain proposals made by Messrs . Pauling , Hcnfrey , and Co ., as the terms on which the Carpenters' and Joiners' strike could be terminated . Mr . Hulnic , the representative ofthe Painters' body , was unanimously called to the chair . The delegates gave in their reports ; after which a somewhat stormy debate ensued , which ended by a resolution tothe effect that the subject should he laid before the . members of the various trades at their clubhouses , and their decisions , as to whether thc strike should terminate on tho terms proposed , be brought to another aggregate meeting , to be held for the purpose ,

      in the Hall , on the evening of Tuesday , Jan , 14 th , at eight o'clock . Leicester Framework-kxitters . —A large meeting of this oppressed body of operatives was held in the Town Hall on Monday , January 13 th ( by permission of the Mayor ) , to consider on the best means of _relieving the existing distress , and improving the condition of the Framework-knitters j also the adoption of a plan to raise funds to carry out the law case now pending in thc Q , uStWs Bench , on the legality of stopping frame-rents out of the earnings of the workers . At seven o ' clock the large and spacious building was crowded to excess . Mr . T . Winters , secretary , was unanimously elected to thc chair ; when Mr . T . Smith , of Leicester , moved , and Mr . Benianiin Humphries , of Nottingham , seconded the

      following resolution : —'' That this meeting views with alarm the rapid decrease in our wages—the uiieontrollablo power invested in thc hands of men to reduce money from our gross earnings ( to any amount ) , whether wholly or partly employed—the extensive practice of manufacturing spurious articles , and dressing them up as fashioned ones—the serious reductions that are mado by undertakers from the warehouse price—the giving out of yarn in a _^ damp state , and refusing to deduct tho weight of waste yarn , although the same has been delivered out as good yarn;—and this meeting is of opinion that the best and most efficient means of relieving the general distress , and improving the condition of frameworkknitters , is by a total abolition of frame monopoly and frame charges—thc establishment of local boards

      of trade—the giving out of tickets with the work , stating the weight and price per dozen or pound , _fov the article to be manufactured—the stamping oi all kinds of goods according to then- quality—and the adoption of the allotment of land system . ) at a moderate rent , according to the value of thc land , and under a lease of fourteen years , subject tc such restrictions as are necessary for the good cultivation of thesoil , and the security of therent and taxes . ' Mr . 6 . Buckby moved , and Mr . J . Chawner seconded , " That it is the opinion of this meeting that thc only safeguard against the present abuses of the _tradi being continued and perpetrated without moderation _, is to have a legislative enactment for our protection ' anA that this meeting is of opinion , that to advance such a measure , it is desirable that a code of sug

      gestions be drawn up on thc questions named in th first resolution , viz ., the abolition of all chargesthe delivery of a ticket with thc work—a fair allow anee for waste yarns—the stamping of goods—tin establishment of local boards of trade , to arrange al matters pertaining to the manufacture of woollen cotton , Bilk , thread , mohair , or any other kind o hosiery—to settle disputes between masters and mci concerning patterns , loss of tbne , inferior work , dc frauds , _inlringement of patents , the violation of agree ments in prices and quality of work given out to bi manufactured , & c . ; and the same to be laid befon the Government , at or before the opening of Parlia ment . And that we , the framework-knitters o Leicester , strongly urge on all framosmiths , setters up , siulcer-makerg , needle-makers , and others , to eo operate with us in forming and carrying on a consoli dated union of _allbraneheSjforourmutual protection . ' Mr . J . Johnson moved , and Mr . W . Stanley se

      conded— " That this meeting , seeing the importance attached to the case now pending in tho Court o Queen ' s Bench , concerning the right of men deduct ing money from our gross earnings , irrespective o our approval or consent , do hereby pledge ourselves to subscribe for the carrying out of that trial ; ant we will also aid and assist to the utmost of our power by weekly contributions of one penny each , for th < carrying out of the second resolution , and _earnestly enjoin all friends to assist us in this great work ; am the same to be colleoted by the several secretaries o ; the districts or branches , or by the general secretary . ' —Mr . D . Lucas moved , and Mr . Bodil seeonded" That this meeting returns its sincere thanks to tin press for their exertions in our behalf , and to all thos < gentlemen who have kindly aided us by pecuniar assistance ; and hope we shall continue to have thei support in tliis or any other lawful movement in seek ing a redress of our grievances . " —All the resolution were enthusiastically adopted .

      Meeting of Colliers . —Agitation for an Eight Hours' Bill . —On Monday afternoon , a meeting o the Colliers ofthe Bolton district was held in the spa ciousl yard of the beer-house of Mr . Richard Settle Church Wharf ( adjoining the large gasometer } , for th purpose of petitioning Parliament for a restriction o labour to eight hours per day . There was a numerou attendance . Benjamin Emilton , an elderly man from Newcastle-upon-Tyne , was called to the chair and commenced with a brief address onthe necessit of union among the working classes ( and especial !; among the colliers ) , to defend themselves against th ' tyranny of their masters . Henry Ingham was the called upon . He said that the Colliers of this countr , were an oppressed people , but that tho greater portioi of their sufferings arose from their stupidity am ignorance , and that , before they could he placed in ,

      proper position in society , a better spirit of _lovr —of brotherly kindncss- _^ -of confidence—would have to be infused amongst them . They were too apt to be jealous , and reject the advice of those who would do them good , and who wero their best friends . One great grievance of which they had to , complain was thc hours of labour . They had to toil twelve or fourteen hours a day , so that they had no opportunity of enjoying rational amusement , or of cultivating their minds . This was a great evil , and ho would have every collier remember that redress could alone come frora ' _thcmsclves . There were persons who had the assurance to say that the colliers were too ignorant to know what was good for them ; but he would have liis fellow-workmen to inform these

      wise men , that they knew , not only when they were robbed of a fair remuneration lor their labour , but that they also knew eight hours per day to be sufficient for a man to labour in the bowels of the earth . AU they wanted was justice between man and man , and they ought never to rest satisfied until they obtained it _ni full measure—James Price asked whether , any man in his senses could believe that the miners of this country were holding meetings , and subscribing money , without having grievances to redress ? Their opponents in the press , asserted that thev were too ignorant to know when they had a fair day ' s wages for a lair day ' s work , and that their oy ect was to take all control out ot the hands of the masters , so that

      they might be enabled to say wc will have this , or wc will have that . Now , this was utterly untrue . The Manchester Guardian stated that their wage would average £ 1 per week _sinco the advance was made ; that they were now asking for a further advance of 2 d . ; that , should it be obtained , they would immediately ask for l * d . more ; that , whilst this struggle was going on between the masters and the men , machinery would have to stand idle for want o £ fuel ; and then thc Chartists expected to obtain what they were aiming at , in the state of anarchy which might ensue . It was well known , however , that this was not a political question . All they asked for was a fair reward for their labour , and thoy were not to be diverted from it bv such tricks as this . It had

      been said that they could get Ss . a-day ; but if they had 5 s . they couid not get a meeting like that ; and if they had 4 s . Mr . Roberts would soon cease to be employed in their behalf . The fact was , that they had not , upon an- average , 15 s . per week , noi _* i even 12 s . He would challenge contradiction to what he said . ' ' Themasters had obtained an advance of fourpence per cwt . from the public , and had only given to the Collier an advance of one farthing . What could they think , then , of newspapers which had made such statements as those of

      the Manchester Guardian ? They were about to petition Parliament for an Eight Hours' Bill ; but , in his opinion , they ought- not to work move than four , if four were sufficient to supply the demand , and for that four they ought to havo wages to provide them witli the necessaries and the comforts of life . Now , in Yorkshire , thc Colliers were contributing one shilling per week tothe funds of the Union ; and if thc whole body , say 40 , 000 , would do the same , they would have a fund sufficient to purchase land , and employ surplus labour , and thus wages might be kept up . The association was daily on thc increase , yet the Minckestsr Guardian asserted that the Colliers were tired of supporting it . He could mention , one district where formerly only £ 10 could be receiv

      a fortnight , but wlicro £ 70 had that day received . Was that any proof of decay ? Now , as to the Eight Hours' Bill , he should like to ask what thoy would do if Parliament refused to sanction it ?—( A voice in the crowd ; "Why , we'd pass it ourselves . " )—That was just the thing he should like to be dono . But were they sufficiently united and determined to cany it out ? Would they put the clock back , or give thc banksman a pint of ale to let them send up another tub a day ?—( Laughter ) , lie would _, not say that they would accomplish tho passing of an Eight Hours' Bill either this year or next ; but , if they remained true to themselves , they would assuredly triumph in the end . —Charles Parkinson , a _<' c ! . ' v- _>' . fi . _- _. ' . u r . ii <; ... vp . iinty of Durham , next addressed thc ! iiii

      _iiiecting , anu'W »' _--owea-oj- « _- « i _« i \ _- _\ 7 W / 6 , ' _& _--i _- _-i- _^ . shircman , who assorted that ho knew one colliery where each tub held & sx cwt . of coal , and where the men had to supply six of these tubs to the ton . He also Btatcd that he had seen the Manchester Guardian when in Staffordshire , and that the statement it made about thc funds of thc association being under tho control of certain parties was utterly untrue . Mr . Roberts ascended thc platform , and * was received with loud cheering . After some preliminary remarks , lie stated , that in his opinion the working classes of this country were never before so thoroughly convinced of the benefits of union aa at tho present moment ; and if they were _buthoncst to each other , no power on earth could resist their just demands .

      In this , however , they had too often foiled . They had allowed their fellow-workmen too often to be crushed by the power of wealth ; but ho rejoiced to say , that they wero now taking a higher and a nobler position . They were beginning to look upon the wrongs of their fellow-men as injuries inflicted upon themselves ; and from this period ho believed the working classes would hereafter date their generation . Formerly , ignorance of their own position led them , when oppressed , to resort to brute force ; but now union had led them to ascertain that there was law for the poor man as well as for the rich , and through it they were content to defend their rights . A few years ago , if they were discontented , the masters treated their complaints with contempt , well

      knowing that if they left work hunger would make them return to it even upon worse tonus than those upon which they had left . But now these complaints were laid before a delegate meeting ; and , if the people wero oppressed , their cause was taken up hy thc whole district , and thus the employers wero made to feel that they could not do wrong in connection with the stability of the union , and that was injudicious strikes . When one colliery struck , it was the duty of other collieries to support the hands out of employment ; but then care should be taken that this bb not too frequent , otherwise the extent of the levies would cause discontent , and tlio destruction of the association . A strike should not take place , except from some act of

      gross tyranny , and then the" sympathies of others would be drawn towards thc oppressed , and support would be cheerfully granted . In Northumberland and Durham , the union had been almost destroyed by an indiscriminate strike . It was thus that strikes got into disrepute ; but when made upon sufficient grounds , and with discretion , they were the honour and thc strength ofthe working classes . Tho union had now existed eighteen months , and was at this moment stronger than at any former period ; and if improper strikes were avoided , it would prove a great boon to tho colliers as a body . Let the newspaper which had been alluded to , point to a strike at any one colliery which had not been successful against the master . Let them , then , act with prudence and care . Let them avoid general strikes ; and , when they found it necessary to resist tlio oppression of one master , or tho masters of one district , they might

      rely upon doing it with success . When they had any _^ thing to complain of , let them meet their masters in a spirit of kindness—in a spirit of mutual dependence—and never resort to a strike until all other means have failed . Having done this , they would enter upon the struggle with a feeling that they were in the right , and _thejr could bear their privations v . ith a cheerfulness which other circumstances woidd not secure . Let them pursue an honest and straightforward course , and care nothing what tho press , or other opponents , might say against them . With no cause for distrust , let them repose implicit confidence in their officers . From what had been said by a certain newspaper , it was suggested to him that « resolution should be proposed , expressive of _confidrtce in these officers ,- but his reply was , that the best resor lution was to bo found in tho report , where the delegates again confided thc affairs ofthe union into their hands .

      _Tuux-octs at Bunv . — Thc hands at Messrs . Walker and Co . ' s foundry still remain out . They , together with tho turn-outs at Messrs . Simpson , Blond , aud Ilowarth ' s , meet dail y in the largo room at the Hare and Hounds public-house , top of Bolton-strect , Bury . The number of turn-outs is upwards of 400 . The hands at Mr . Hartley ' s cotton mill , at Heywood , resumed work on Tuesday morning , the dispute having been amicably arranged . Thc hands at Mr . John Hilton Kay ' s mill , who turned out for a small advance of wages a month ago , are still out .

      Summons for Waois . —On Monday last , at tho Bolton Borough Court , Mi-. Thomas Birch , cotton spinner and manufacturer , Little Bolton , was summoned by a carder , named James llothwell , for £ 1 12 s ., being a fortnight's wages . llothwell alleged that he had been induced to leave anothor situation to go to Mr . Birch , and that he was afterwards turned off without a moment ' s notice , On the other band , Mr . Birch stated , that he found Rothwcll neglecting hia work , and allowing thc machinery to stand , aha . that he was very insolent when he complained of his ; conduct . —Tho Mayor said , that if Mr . Birch was i dissatisfied with his work , he ought to have given _i him a fortnight ' s notice . —Mr . _Darbislm-e said , the > magistrates were very strict in requiring workpeople * to give notice before leaving their employment , and I it was equally necessary that they should require a i similar act of justice on the part of masters . Mr . . Birch was ordered to pay the amount , with expenses . .

      Bradford Shoemakers . — On Monday evening a _i meeting of thc Shoemakers' Society was held at the ) Boy and Barrel Inn , Westgate , when tho balance j sheet of the income and expenditure during the 5 strike was laid before the meeting : the expenditure } £ 378 , the income £ 2 S 5 , the debts due by the' _asso- - ciation and the section £ 93 . The following resolution a was unanimously carried— " That the thanks of this s meeting are cordially tendered to the Editors of the 0 _NortJiem Star , for the able manner in which that paper r has defended tho rights of Labour ; and also for the e assistance rendered to the Shoemakers' Society of if Bradford during their late struggle to maintain their af wages . " _TTobkshibb Mimees . —The next general _delegated meeting of the Miners of Yorkshire will be held at it the Griffin Inn , Northgate , Wakefield , on Monday , 7 , the 27 th dajr of January , to commence at nine o'dockk in the morning .
