      _TShig motion _igaiQ'tf til individuals who now _*^ _se th e powers of the Commission . * VTe refei * \ _rtjauers to tbe conversation on this subject in the _•^ j _jjmeniary proceedings ; fiom it they wiU per' te that not ariBgle Toicewas wised in the defence _j this uncoBstitutional _, detestable , and detested _^ jy . Even Sir J . Graham , who was present , had ta _vor d to say in their favour . The investigation _jitotbe Andover atrocities , and the general mode of _j-nsacting the business of the Commission now going

      _- beforeaCommittec of _tbehouse , have greatly helped tbis consummation . The indefatigable zeal and _^ _archins scrutiny of "Messrs . "Waklet and Christie , _faring the whole of that inquiry , have been of the _jjost praiseworthy character . "We hope they will _uJtimately obtainarichreward , by seeing theLaw and fte Commission entirely abolished . As a step _awards that end , the debate on Monday night looks cheering , and the promised enquiry next year , though not creditable to the Government which delays so

      Important a question , is another proof that the time bas come when it can no longer be trifled with . Friday Morxixg . We have only room to direct the attention of our readers to the interesting debate on the ministerial policy in the Commons last night . It will furnish materials for ample comment afterwards .

With the quarrel between Mr . Gosper and Mr . O'Connor , or the Chartists in general , I have nothing to do ; but as Treasurer tc the "Exiles * Fond ( baring been appointed to the office at the first public meeting held in Turnagain-lane ) , I

      cannot but express deep _sorrow—for I feel satisfied that Mr . Cooper has done all that could be done , to ensure the success of the' causa for which he acted . The Committee will , therefore , oblige by calling a meeting as soon as possible , in order that another Secretary may be appointed in Mr . Cooper ' s place , and arrange snch other matters connected with the same . I am , Sir , respectfully yours , Jobs Skeltok . 24 , Cedl-court , St Martin ' s-lone . P .

      Lrrcbfielb , Friday. —Me Election Ofa Me...

      TO TBE 0 PERAT 1 YE CABPENTERS AMD JOINERS . Friends aud Fellow Workmen . —When we look around ns and behold thp splendid buildings that are rising on every side ss habitations for the wealthycombining every comfort and convenience to which the advancement in science can point—when we view onr extensive system of railways , with their magnificent termini , and the facilities which they afford for rapid transit and communication , we are impressed with the stupendous results that are obtainable from the combination of our labour with that of our co-workers in the building trades , when directed by competent skill : and when we contrast with these the squalid hovels and pentup apartments in which the majority of these wealtuproducers abide , the question arises— " Why has so little of that power of which the capitalists know so well howto avail themselves , been directed to the improvement of our own condition % " '

      To the importance of this consideration we are anxioas to direct your attention and offer some suggestions as te * hal we consider to be the chief disadvantages Under which we have laboured , and to the means best calculated to remove these disadvantages , and give a permanent prosperity to our future exertions . We depend npon the demand for our labour in the public market for th * means of living ; and when such demand is diminished a portion of our number is thrown out of employment and deprived of the power to support themselves and families , thus offering an incentive to the cupidity of avaricious employers to attempt a reduction in the rate of wages .

      To remedy this evil it has been nsual among all trades to establish an union and co-operation , by which means those who continued employed have subscribed towards the support of their unemployed brothers , to prevent the necessity of their working for a less sum than the average Tate of wages , but which means , whilst it palliated the evil , has always been ineffectual to prevent it or afford a remedy . Another circumstance in connection with our trade arrangements is , that they have constantly associated with public houses , and are thus mixed up witli a deteriorating influence that has a tendency to make us poor , and keep us so ; and , in addition , lias prevented many well-meaning members of the trade from co-operating with their fellow workmen , and thus the double evil hat been created , the trade has been weakened in its power for good , and the individuals have been deprived of the protective influence of a Trade Society .

      A few of your fellow workmen who have been engaged in the operations of the present Trade Societies having reflected and communed together on these matters , at _length determined to take the preliminary steps for the establishment ofa Society which should combine in its objects all the advantages of our previous arrangements , and at the same time afford the members of the trade opportunities of associating together apart from the _exelements of the public house , for the transaction of business , the cultivation of their faculties , and the improvement of their condition .

      In pursuance of this object , a number of the trade met at the Parthenium , Coffee-house , in St . Martin ' s-lane , and _reto . ' ving themselves into a General Committee for such purposes , proceeded to a consideration of the objects to be obtained and the means for their accomplishment , _Ufen which an entire unanimity prevailed , and a sub-committee were appointed to draw ap a Constitution and Laws , tbat should define tbe nature of the _proposed Association . In the choice of that committee , the previously known business habits of the individuals , was the only consideration—and is thus offering the result of their labours to their fellow-workmen , they are actuated hy no motive but a desire for the realisation of that time when the wealth producer shall also be a wealth possessor , and the badge of the artisan shall be a _passport to respectability .

      The following objects are those for which the commit _, tee have endeavoured to provide , and for the accomplishment of which they invite the co-operation of their fellow-workmen . They hope that the means will be found practicable , and that the results will be contributory to our mental and moral advancement and independence . To provide the means , by the erection of premises or otherwise , by which the members of the Association , and their sons or apprentices in the trade , may meet together for the transaction of business , the study of science and literature , and for mutual improvement . To ensure support to those members who may be unemployed in the public market , and by profitably employing snch members in the production ef wealth for the general society , converting tbat which has hitherto been a burthen and a drag chain , on previous trade societies , into a means of increasing the wealth and permanent prosperity of all the members .

      To ensure a sum of money at the death of a member , or his wife , and to guarantee a provision against the loss of tools by fire or otherwise . To establish a depot for the supply of tools to the members at wholesale prices , and upon liberal and satisfactory arrangements . To establish a library , and assist In the information of classes for the study of architectural and other sciences . To promote as far as the increasing means of the society will permit , the health , comfort , and intelligence of its members , and to _co-opurate as far as practicable with other sections of the working classes , who are , or may be , aiming at , and progressing towards , the general advancement of our order .

      To accomplish these objects a set of regulations have been drawn np with great care . It is intended thatthe Association shall be constituted on the broad basis of Democracy , so tbat such alterations as experience in the working of them , or increased intelligence shall dictate , will be easily admissible at any time , and the Committee earnestly solicit the attention and assistance ofthe thinking portion of the workers to this endeavour to give practical effect to the efforts they are mating for improvement in tbe condition of the people . At a subsequent meeting of the General Committee to receive the report of the sub-committee , the laws which they had prepared were unanimously adopted , and the society was constituted , tbe first Monday iu August was fixed for a general meeting for the admission of members and the election of officers . The sub-committee were appointed a committee of management , pro . Urn ., and were instructed to forward an address and report of proceedings to such of the public journals as were believed to be favourably disposed towards the objects of the

      Association . Signed on behalf of the Provisional Committee , W . J . Young , Sec . pro . tem

      The Charter, Ajjd The Chartist Cooperati...

      THE CHARTER , AJJD THE CHARTIST COOPERATIVE LAND SOCIETY-MEETING AT RICKMaNSWORTH . A numerous , respectable , and highly attentive public meeting was held on a piece of common land , known as the "' Fortune , " near the town of Riekmanstvorth , Herts . Mr . flENRT . Ross waa unanimously called'tothechair , and said the directors of the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , had become their near neighbours , and it was necessary they should become acquainted with each other , and hence this meeting to explain the principles of which they were the advocates ; with that view he would now introduce Mr . Doyle , one cf the directors .

      Mr . "DoyLB said they had come there in all probability , ticketed with a bad character , and hence it was necessary that they should stand before their neighbours , and vindicate tbem from the foul aspersions cast upon them , by laying before them those glorious principles of which they were the advocates—( cheens)—and which he believed were the only principles calculated to confer happiness and prosperity ( rathe whole human family . ( Cheers . ) The Chartist Co-operative Land Society was established for the purpose of putting the people in possession , or rather of _repossessing them , of that great natural right oi wliich they ought never to have been deprived—the Land . ( Loud cheers . ) It was a plan by which the humblest labourer could obtain two acres of land and

      a cottage for the sum of £ 212 s ., with £ 15 to subsist on , until his crops were grown , and to possess this at a mere nominal rent , on lease for 999 years . ( Much cheering . ) The contributions commenced as iow as threepence per week , and ascending at pleasure , until tbe share or shans were paid for , ( Hear , hear . ) Was not this worth obtaining ? ( Hear , hear . ) "Who would remain a pauper , when they could effect their own social redemption ? Had not an ex-Minister declared tbat one person in every ten was a pauper ? That in point of tact was saying , that tiiere was one million and a half of paupers in Great Britain alone ; yet , here in this boasted land of freedom , the industrious millions were perishing of want ; but did they ever hear of those things called Lords—the useless aristocracy , dying of hunger ? Did they ever bcartheir neighbours , Lord Grosvenor or the Earl of Essex , going without their dinner ? No , no , they fared sumptuously every day , although they never earned a dinner , or did any other nseful thing . Well then , he

      asked , would they agree to remain in a state of serfdom , when they had the means of working out their own salvation in their own hands ? The Chartist Co-operative Land Society , although founded by Chartists , was open to the world , without reference to creed or sect . Mr . Doyle here entered into a luminous exposition ofthe principles ofthe Chartist Land Society , and its mode of operation , and showed the practicability of tbe plan , and the great blessings it must bestow on the great mass of human kind , invited discussion , and called on all who had not yet seen " Herringsgate" with its "Chartist Villas , " those handsome residences for the _soub of toil , to pay it a visit , and sure he was they would be desirous ot becoming allottees , and consequently would lose no time in placing themselves on the road thereto , by immediately enrolling themselves shareholders of the ChartiBt Land Society . Mr . Doyle moved the following resolution , and resumed his seat amid the most hearty demonstrations of applause .

      The Charter, Ajjd The Chartist Cooperati...

      Thatinthe opinion of this meeting the Chartist Cooperative Land Society , is based upon sound principles , and is eminentl y calculated to promote the comfort and independence of the Working Classes . Mr . e . Siallwood seconded the motion , which was put , and no one asking any questions , or attempting any opposition , was carried unanimously , amid much applause . Mr . Philip M'Grath said they had doubtless heard of the - ' People ' s Charter "—( hear , bear )—and no doubt from the characters given of its advocates by the oppressors ofthe wealth produoing classes , thought it some hideous black book , filled with Egyptian _hireoglyphics , or some other species of witchcraft , and probably expected to see us with hoofs and a long tail . ( Laughter . ) Now , although we do possess the latter-- ( Roars of Laughter . ) I mean a long tail of

      followers —( great _cheeringj—yet we have not the former . We believe it is bad laws that compel the working _^ roan to exist on bad , course food , to be clothed in rags , and to reside in a wretched hovel . ( Loud cheers . ) Aye , such hovels as Lord Robert Grosvenor would not put liis dogs into , and so long as the working man is unenfranchised , so long will those debasing things continue , ( llear , hear . ) But give the working man the Suffrage , and depend on it he will elect such honest intelligent men to represent him , who will make such laws as shall conduce to the good of all . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . M'Grath next entered into a lucid , able , and eloquent exposition of the principles of the "People ' s Charter , " which elicited hearty and enthusiastic cheering , and concluded ( am idst vociferous cheering ) by moving tbe following resolution : —

      That this meetiug considers the system of Government now prevailing in this country , which denies the rights oi citizenship to seven millions of men , to be tyrannical and unjust ; aud as the People ' s Charter is an embodiment ol the principles of equal representation and details to give them effect , this meeting hereby expresses its decided approval of that document , and resolves to use every means compatible with Law to make it a statute of this realm . Which was geconded and carried by acclamation . ( Several voices here exclaimed , * . " Where can we obtain the Northern Star . "

      Mr . Stallwood : —Of " Chartist Jack . " ( Roars ol Laughter . ) Yes . leave your orders for Chartist Jack at Mr . Beeston , Rickmansworth , at Mr . Holts , Mill End , at Mr .

      A BRITISH SOLDIER FLOGGED TO DEATH . HOuNSlOW , _WEDNESnAY NIGHT . ' _^ During the last two days an extraordinary feeling of excitement has been created in this town and the surrounding neighbourhood , in consequence of a report getting afloat that one of the privates of the 7 th Royal Hussars , at present quartered at Hounslow Barracks , had died in consequence of the severity of a flogging he received shortly before by order ofa court-martial . From the great secrecy which is always maintained on the part of the military authorities respecting occurrences within the barracks , the actual particulars of the affair havo not been allowed to transpire beyond the barrack walls , and consequently all that is at present known is rumour and report .

      From the inquiries instituted , it appears that the first knowledge of any of the privates of the 7 th Royal Hussars having been subject to corporal punishment , since the arrival ofthe regiment at Hounslow from Ipswich , ahout two months since , was on Monday evening , when it began to be whispered about that several soldiers had been flogged , and tbat one of them bad died the next morning , No credence was , however , at the time placed upon the statement , and all who heard it considered it unfounded . On Tuesday morning the report was revived with greater confidence , with the addition that the body of the deceased soldier was to be buried without any inquest on Wednesday ( this day ) afternoon , at 3 o ' clock , in Heston churchyard , in which parish the barracks is situated .

      In the course of the forenoon tbe reports having reached the ears of the local magistrates and the parochial authorities , official inquiries were instituted by Inspector Lawrence , T division , and Hr . Brent , butcher , of lies ton , who is the coroner ' s summoning officer for Heston , the result of which was that communications I ' rom both were , in the course of the atternoon , forwarded to Mr . _Wakley , M . P ., coroner for Middlesex , who immediately issued his warrant for holding an inquest on the body . The news that there was to be a public inquiry into the matter , flew like wildfire through the town , and completely silenced those who disbelieved the truth of the reports .

      Persons whose business takes them frequently to the barracks , state to-day that the deceased soldier whose name has even not transpired , was flogged about five weeks siuce ; that after the infliction of the lash he waB immediately removed to the barrack hospital , where ht < remained until bis deatb , which took place on Saturday last ; and that subsequent to bis death two military surgeons had been sent down from town by order of the Horse Guards , and had opened the body , and found the cause of death to be ossification of the heart , which had burst . Others as confidently assert that the flogging was more recently inflicted than five weeks since , tbat the offence that the deceased , who was a recruit who had

      only joined the regiment about three months , had committed was striking his seijeant violently acrosB the breast with a poker ; thathe was tried by court martial , and ordered to receive 150 lashes ; that the punishment was , as is customary , inflicted in the presence of the _surgeon of the regiment , and the commanding officer ( Colonel "Wh yte ); that after ahout 79 or 80 lashes had been received , the surgeon declared that any further punishment would be dangerous , but tbat the commanding officer directed that it should be continued ; and tbat the surgeon upon finding that retired from the scene and interfered no further . It is also stated confidently that the deceased shortly before he expired , exclaimed "I aw a murdered man . "

      There is also a report that there are two other of the privates of the same regiment at present in the hospital Cor cure from floggings , one of whom of the name of _Mathewson is not expected to recover .

      THE INQUEST . This evening , at 8 o ' clock , a highly respectable jury of 13 inhabitants of the parish of Helton were empaneled before Mr , Wakley , M . P _., coroner for Middlesex , in one of the parlours ofthe George IY . Inn , Hounslow Heath , to inquire into the circumstances attendant upon the death of Frederick White , aged 26 years , the private of thc 7 th Bojnl Hussars , whose death is alleged to have been caused by the effects of the corporal punishment he had received under an order of court-martial . The room was crowded to excess by the respectable inhabitants of the neighbourhood , and the officers of the regiment , anxious to witness the proceedings . Near the coroner were Mr . G . Bailey , of Hanwell , chairman of the Brentford bench of magistrates , and the Rev , H . S . Trimmtr , another magistrate , and rector of Heston . Inspector Lawrence , T division , was also in attendance to assist the civil authorities in their inquiry .

      The Coroner . —Previous to the jury being sworn , m . quired if any of the gentlemen who . ie names have been called are in any way connected with the barracks , as they had better not form part of the jury . Several gentlemen replied that they were , and were excused , Thirteen jurors having been sworn , and Mr . J , Bird appointed foreman , the coroner accompanied them to the barracks , which was about half a mile distant , to view the body of the unfortunate deceased . It was in the coffin , and on heing turned round on its face , the back , from the nape of the neck down to the loins , presented a deep purple appearance . In the middle of the back , between tbe shoulders where the greatest inflammation had evidently been , a great piece of skin , nine inches one way , and eight inches the other , had been cut away .

      The Coroner inquired where the skin was , and by whom it had been cut off , and was told it had been cut off by Dr . Read , who had been sent down by the Horse Guards to perform the post mortem examination of the body , and it should be looked for . Much delay was occasioned by the search , and eventually a piece of skin was brought , which , however , was not a fifth part of the whole . The Coroner inquired if any of the relatives of the deceased were present in the room , or had been informed ofthe inquiry ? The it djutant of the regiment replied that they were not , neither had he informed them on the subject . The Coroner inquired if any one had writteu to them ! The Adjutant said he believed not , as they only knew from tbe deceased ' s attestation' where they were to be found .

      The Coroner then addressed thejury and said it must be apparent to them from the number of witnesses that must necessarily be examined , that it would be impossible to finish the inquiry that night , however late they might sit ; and , therefore , in his opinion , it would be better at once to adjourn , so that they might have all the witnesses in attendance , and finish at one sitting . Bydoing so the relations of the unfortunate man would also have an opportunity to be present , as he doubted not the publicity which would be given to the inquiry in the newspapers would cause them to be made acquainted with it , It would be also necessary to summon several witnesses from London , viz . Dr . Read and Mr . Hall .

      It was essentially necessary tbat Br . Read should be present , as he was the person who had removed the skin from the back of the deceased , not a fifth part of which had been found , and what was found would not fit the back . It was also necessary that a medical man , who was totally unconnected with the army , should immediately see and examine the body , and he would leave it to the jury to determine who that surgeon should be a gentleman on whose opinion the jury felt they could place confidence , who was quite unconnected with the case and who would give an impartial and unbiassed judgment on what he saw . The military authorities might also appoint one who would have every facility afforded to do the same .

      After considerable discussion the jury unanimously fixed ou Mr . Horatio Day , surgeon of Isleworth , who was appointed . The Coroner then , addressing Mr . Warren , the surgeon of the regiment , said , Sir , I shall rely upon your rendering my constable and police-inspector every assistance in the summoning of tbe necessary witnesses at the barracks , in order to show what the real cause of death may be . Or . Warren promised to do so .

      Trial For Murder. At The Oxfoud Assizes ...

      TRIAL FOR MURDER . At the Oxfoud Assizes . — On Monday . James Biddle , 28 , and Issue Sherriff , 40 , were placed at the bar on an indictment , charging them with the wilful murder of George Mobbs , at North Ashton , on the 28 th of September , 1842 . Biddle asked the Court to allow him counsel , as he had no money , or he should have got one before . Mr . Pigott suggested to Mr . J . J . Williams to undertake the defence , and the learned counsel having kindly consented to do so , was assigned by the Court as advocate for both prisoners on their request . _TheprisonerspleadedNotGuiltyina firm voice , and Sherriff was allowed a seat , he being lame . Mr . Carrington , with Pigott , conducted the prosecution .

      Mr . Carrington stated the case . Mr . Mobbs , the deceased , was a farmer , t , nd on the day In question had received a sum of money , after which he rode to Steeple Ashton , where he attended a lecture on astronomy , at the conclusion of which , in company with a Mr . Goodman , he proceeded towards home as far as a publichouse called the Fox , where , after staying some time , they separated , their routes lying iu opposite directions _, nothing more was heard of the unfortunate deceased until the following morning , when his dead body was found on a heap of stones in a lane , not in the direct road to his house . Tbere being no suspicion attached to anyone , an _mqaest was held on the body , and the matter thus rmained until March last , when a man named Skerry was taken into custod y for stealing fowls » Warw . cksh . re , when , in consequence of a statement made by lum , the two prisoners were apprehended , and ultimately committed on the charge of murder

      George Mobbs deposed . -l am the son of the deceased , who hved at _Dean-hill _, I * em Mm alive wllen m went out on a dark grey horse , about five o ' clock on the 28 th September , 1842 . I saw him dead next morning I saw the horse m the dairy ground next day , with saddle and bridle on it , William Goodman . —I reside at North Ashton , and am a raalster . I saw Mr . Mobbs at Steeple Ashton on the 28 th Spetember , 1842 . We proceeded on our horses together as far as the Fox inn . I 6 tayed there a few moments after him , and heard him on the road for his house . It was about half-past eleven , I never saw him after .

      Trial For Murder. At The Oxfoud Assizes ...

      — Turner . —I have _bsen In _pwetlee as a surgeon twenty yuars . On the 1 st of October , 1842 , I made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased Mr . Mobbs .- I found the upper part ofthe spine forced into a hole at the base of the skull , A fracture wan produced on the right and left . _side of the occipital bone . The upper portion was forced in , and the lower forced out _. There was laceration of the brain . Tho _? e injuries were the cause of death . No external blow could cause them . If a person were violentl y pulled from his horse , and fell over on his head , it would cause such injuries

      Jacob Skerry was then called . —( His appearance in the box caused a great sensation ) . He depesed I am a tinker . I have known the two prisoners four or five _yeaw . I remember lodging iu a barn at Deddington on the night before Michaelmas three years ago last year , The prisoners came to me , and after some conversation they went away . I followed them to Hilbay _, and to other places ( which he enumerated ) . They went along the turnpike-road , and down towards the Pox . It was then about half-past eleven at night . Thc moon was up at the time . They pointed down towards Deddington , and then towards Dunn Stew . I folloneil them . There

      was a hollow in the road . A person on horseback passed me before he came to the prisoners . They then pulled him off his horse , and he fell on his head on the stones , I heard the sound of another blow . They were pulling him about three or four miuutes after . They heard me coming down tbe road , and they then got over the hedge , and went into the fields . I followed them a mile and a quarter , and found them near a Btile . Biddle collared me . About eight the next morning the prisoners came , and Biddle said , " I thought I finished you last night . " He threw down five shillings and said , " If you had not sneaked behind us last night , but come and helped us like a man , you should have had your part . " Mr . George Moore acted as clerk to the magistrates on the 27 th of March . The prisoners were not cautioned . Their Statements were taken down correctly , as also one of Biddle , on the 12 th of April .

      The statements were then put in and nad by Mr . Bellamy , jun . Both prisoners denied all knowledge of the robbery , or ever having seen Mr . Mobbs , ov struck any man that night . Biddle said it was all out of spite , because he lived with Skerry's cousin , but was not married to her . Mr , Field acted as clerk to the magistrates on the 15 th of April , when the prisoners were _afain examined , and made other statements , which were uIbo put in and read . Biddle said he was going along the lane , when he-saw Jacob Skerry and two other men pulling a man off his horse , and beating him . He ran away , and the men overtook him . Skerry struck him a blow on the head , which rendered him insensible . When Skerry saw him next morning , he said , " I thought I finished you last night .

      The statement went on to give exactly the same account as the accomplice Skerry , reversing the position of the parties , and attaching tbe greater degree ef violence to Skerry , placing him in the culpable character Skerry had , by his evidence given to Biddle . Tho second statement of Sherriff was of a similar cha . raotcr , exculpating himself from the more serious crime . Mr . Williams made an appeal on behalf of the prisoners . At the conclusion of the Counsel ' s address , Mr . Justice Maule summed up , and the Jury in a few minutes returned a verdict of Guilty against both pri . soners .

      His Lordship assumed the black cap , and having briefly addressed the prisoners sentenced them to death , holding out no hope of mercy .

" Prosecutor said , "Don ' t frighten me ; l ' am an old man j lets go on to Daventry and have another half pint . " Prisoner said , "No , I'll have it . " Pr « . Sicutor shouted " Murder , " and prisoner iuBtantly struc ** him , and he fell senseless to the ground . When he came to himself , he missed his watch and his money , and the prisoner was gone . He had never seen the pri . soner since , until his apprehension in London , but had no doubt he was the man . Prosecutor was sober .

Prosecutor overtook them , and walked with them to . Floore , where he went on with the prisoner , and witness and his comrade were left behind , Had no doubt the prisoner was the man . The comrade of the last witness gave similar testimony . James Black—Lives in Lambeth . Knows the prisoner . They both worked at Morris ' s cork factory . Was with him at the Marsh-gate public house , and he was talking about his brother who was transported . He said his brother was a good man , and he was a good man also , for he weuld do anything \ vhen he was hard up . He said he had been down to Northampton haymaking , and had met with an old gentlemen , whem he had knocked down , and had his money and his watch .

      Other witnesses were called , who confirmed thc pre vious evidence . The Jury found the prisoner Guilty , and he was sen tenced to be transported for fifteen years .
