They _goccamb to a small party of canting fanatics , and allow them to trample on the liberty of nineteen oat of every twentypersons in the _yng dom , in order , that under the pressure of _^ inconvenience , obstruction , and injury , this measure will cause , the community at large may be roused to do that which the Government oug ht now to do for them .

      The influence of the " same pernicious sect manifested itself as usual , on Wednesday , m iherejeciion of a moderate measure for theextenaon of the Scottish Parochial School system , to suit the altered circumstances of the age . There is nothing these bigots dread so much as the enlightenment of the people . They want to drive us backinto the barbarism and darkness of the middle ages , in order to restore the supremacy of the church and the

      aristocracy . But , though in consequence of the feebleness and decrepitude of a divided irresolute , and incompetent Ministry , they may rule the roast for the time being , let them beware . They have yet to come into direct collision with the whole people , backed by a Press which , though far below what it ought to be , is yet a very different antagonist than previous Praise God Barebones * have had to grapp le with .

Legalising and Protecting Friendl y Societies , hitherto p laced without the pale of the Constitution , received a hearty and nearly unanimous assent on "W ednesday .

      Loss Of Tiie Oriox Steamer. Tbe Orion, A...

      LOSS OF TIIE ORIOX STEAMER . Tbe Orion , a regular packet , running between Glasgow and Liverpool , sailed from the latter port on Monday afternoon , and was wrecked on the rocks off Portpatriek . The crew numbered between twenty and thirty , and abont seventy-five passengers were booked tit tha office of the agents , Messrs . _Hartiaand Co ., but , in addition , a considerable number of cabin-passengers are known to bare gone by the vessel , whose names were not recorded at the agents ' office , while the names of tbe steeragepassengers are not entered at all . Tbe impression is that at least 200 sods were on board .

      TVe extract the following details of the melancholy catastrophe from the papers received on "Wednesday night : — ( From the Glasgow Constitutional . ) The greatest consternation was excited in town on Tuesday afternoon in consequence of news arriving of the total loss of the Orion Steamer , on her _passage from Liverpool to Glasgow . About two o ' clock Mr . Fleming , of _Surling-square , one ofthe survivors , came Into the Exchange , and gave ihe first public tidings of this most melancholy event . It appears from his statement , and what we could otherwise learn , that between one and two o ' clock on Tuesday morning the Orion struck on a sunken rock off Portpatriek , and almost immediately went down . Tbe passengers and crew * rushed to the

      boats , two of whicli , it is stated , ' at once capsized , owing to tbe number that crowded into tbem , and almost all perished . The number lost is unknown at present , as the accounts vary from fifty to 101 ) , but it is believed that the smaller number is nearer the actual loss . The weather , was fine ; but the mate said that a slight fog prevailed at the time , whilst some of the surviving passengers state that it was clear weather . As one-half of tbe funnel is above water , tlie depth at the place where she has _suak may be from five to six fathoms . The only name mentioned as among tbe _drowned is Dr . Burns , Professor of Surgery in the University , brother of the Messrs . Burns , " the owners ofthe Tessel . His body had been washed ashore before the survivors left the scene of tbe catastrophe . It is feared that a number of those who have met a _watery grave belong to this place , and , in consequence , the excitement has been ever since most

      intense . The number of " _passengers on board is supposed to bave been 112 , but no authentic list can be procured until the receipt of a telegraphic despatch with the names of those who bad booked their berths at the Liverpool ofiice . Of those who had _token their places on board no accurate record can he had at present , as the only complete list is lest in the vessel , To attempt to account for the Ios 3 of this noble vessel oa a fine night , on onr own shores , within a short distance , of the land , where every stone should be familiarly known to those in charge , is at present impossible ; but we have rip doubt the most searching investigation will be made by the owners into a casualty which has eventuated in such an awful sacrifice of human life . The rock on which the Orion struck is some distance from the shore , and passed through the vessel principally in her midship compartment , breaking . the engines _tipieces ; nnd , within less than ten minute ; from the time she struck , the Orion was at the bottom .

      SOUTH LONDON CHARTIST HALL BLAOKFBIAKS-ROAD . v _nnmnn TA » Tnn » . _~ _- _~

      A public meeting , convened under the auspices of the Executive Committee of the National . Charter Association , war held on Monday evening , the lfth of June : Mr . EWABD MILLS was called to ths chair , and said it was time that the people declared boldly and unreservedly what they required . ( Hear , Hear . ) No miserable stinted modicum of middle class reform would suit them . No ! they required ri ghts political and social for all . I ( Loud cheers . ) Not on the ground of any | shuffling expediency , as to peculiar fitness for intelligence , property , rate paying , or house holding , but in the right of their manhood . ( Great applause . )

      Mr . _6- .. _-W- . M . . _REYXOLDS came forward to move the following resolution ;— " This meeting is of opinion that the system of reform advocated by the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association , is based upon unjust principles , and conceived only for the benefit of a class ; and calls upon the working classes of the United Kingdom neither to aid nor assist them many of its schemes , but to stand b y and upheld those princi ples which are advocated b y the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association : and this meeting also , pledges itself to use its best

      endeavours to make the Charter the law ofthe Land . " He said he was deli ghted that the initiative had been taken in opposing the miserable modicum of reform ' offered by the Parliamentary and Financial Reformers , and which so-called reform could , at best , be only regarded as a beggarly instalment —( hear , hear )—and even this had not been put forward until several revolutions had swept over the continent , like . a whirlwind taking away thrones , monarchs , princes , and pope in their trains ' ; then _feiring . the people , the wealth producers would ' take _Jheir " affairs into their

      own hands , they stepped forward with their empty , plausible , delusive bait , which , if _carried-to-morrow © raid not effect the least . goeid for the working classes ; but , for its purely shopocratical bearing was well : calculated to perpetuate the slavery ofthe masses . ' ( Loud cheers . ) . Truly the middle class had as great an interest in keeping down the working class as had the aristocracy , for did they not live by the . toil and sweat of the masses ? ( Loud cheers . ) Of what nse was a mere extension ofthe suffrage with the ballot , especially as no provision was made for payment of

      members , and , consequently under such arrangements no bona fide working man conld become a representative . If they wanted a specimen of how the other classes represented them , they had only to look at the conduct of Lord Ashley —( hear , hear)—who had declared before God , in as solemn manner as it was possible for man to do , that he would stand by the Factory Act , as obtained by the late patriotic and revered John Fielden —( cheers)—yet had he , atthe bidding of SirG . Grey , given np the Act , and sacrificed the interest of the Factory operatives . ( Shouts of " Hear , hear . " )

      Then , was it not clear , if they wished to ameliorate their condition , their onl y way was to depend on their own exertions , and , in their own united wisdom and mi ght , obtain the People ' s Charter' in its entirety . ( Loud cheers . ) .-Heasked wh y it was , with all the appliances of wealth and power , that the condition of the wealth producer was not improved ? Wh y should the people be p lunged into such a fearful abyss' of destitution and misery ? ( Cheers . ) Surel y it was only some powerful lever like the People ' s Charter that could lift them ont o this " Slough of

      Despair , "—( hear , hear)—and the bright hope bf social rights was the only medicine that could inspire the unfortunate with confidence sufficient to induce perseverance to obtain those ennobling objects—the full rights of man . Well , then , it must be clear that , the poorest of the poor were those who most required the protection of the franchise . ( Hear , hear . ) The Parliamentary and Financial Reformers appeared desirous of confining the vote to those who were housekeepers , or rated to the poor , which led to the inference that it was their interest so to do ; and that , hy so doing ,

      they were onl y carrying out their princi p le , namely—that of " buying labour in the cheapest , and selling it in the dearest market ; " and they afforded a further illustration of this princi p le when tbey refused that great social reformer , Mr . G . J . Holyoake , admission to the council , notwithstanding his willingness / to subscribe the ten guineas qualification j and their determination to adhere to their pernicious principles was much more fully evinced when , at the Conference , they refnsed to alter the " rating'' for a " registering" qualification ; yet some of those pseudo-reformers will come

      on Chartist platforms and glibly say— "We are as thorough Chartists as you are , but it is not the time to advocate Chartism _;' ' to which Ke " ( 3 Ir . Reynolds ) replied—no , no , it never would be the time , even should they live for 500 years , if they placed or left their interests in the hands of the middle classes . ( Cheers . ) But onl y let the working classes show that they are in earnest—be determined that Chartism shall spread in every direction—their influence would then he felt—their interest would

      predominate , arid , being most powerful , government would deem it prudent to concede , and the . Charter would become the law of the land . ( Great applause . ) He believed that , should another Kennington-commo ' n meeting take place , that the middle classes , true to their brutal instincts , would again take up the baton , become special constables , and attempt to put down the working classes . He ( Mr . Reynolds ) had not yet resigned his seat at the Council Board of the

      Parliamentary Reform Association , but he should attend its meeting on Thursday next , and ascertain if they still determined to adhere to their stand still policy ; and if they did , then should he ( Mr . Reynolds ) there and then , resign his seat , and throw himself into hostility to their policy . Their Chairman had alluded to the recent meeting inSt . Martin ' s Hall ; he ( Mr ' Reynolds ) had conceived that such a meeting afforded a fair opportunity of the oppressed and oppressors meeting face to face , aud he had , in conjunction with many of the working classes , embraced it ; desiring to state , in

      respectful language , to the Premier , the aristocracy , and clergy " present , what were the wants , wishes , and desires ofthe proletarians , whom they had met professedly to serve ; but immediatel y he attempted to do so , the pious Lord Ashley—forgot all his humility—started up , much more like a ferocious animal than a devout arid lowl y Christian man , and protested against his speaking , on the ground that he was a non-member , ' 2 nd at tiie same time refusing to receive bis guinea , and allow him to become a member . What he ( Mr . Reynolds ) wished to have shown was , that , the good

      "The Societ y for improving the Condition of tlie Labonring Classes" was doing , was only like a drop in the ocean—that the-evil was rapidly increasing , aiid that such measures as that society , however good its intentions mi ght be , could never stem the tide- _^ -and that such a deep wound required a radical cure , which could onl y be found in a full measure of political and social rig hts . ( Lond cheers . ) Whenever the people now attempted to ameliorate their social condition , they were met with the Combination Laws ; but these same laws were

      never enforced : against the capitalists ; why ? because they had a sort of tacit understanding by which tbey managed to regulate the wages of labour throughout the kingdom . But it , was said , " oh , the working classes hare the right of public meeting and petition ; " to this be demurred , for no sooner did meetings _becomeformidsble , than government raked up some act of parliament , and placarded it all over the town , to put down _publiij 'fe ' eetings by proclamation ; hence it was onljrby _. _sufferance they held meetings . ( Hear . ) . The Protectionists had , at a recent meeting , boldly declared that if government did not grant- protection they would nght for it ; bat bad he-used such _strong language in

      South London Chartist Hall Blaokfbiaks-R...

      advocating the rights of the people , depend on it , twelve hours would hot elapse before he was heard of at Bow-street , yet the Protectionists were still at large , in all - their boasted respectability . Why ? Because they were combined by tacit understanding , and possessed votes and wealth .: secondly , because what tbey urged did not . materially affect the condition of the masses . The only legitimate qualification for rights was that Of citizenshi p . If ever the people were in possession of peace and plenty , it was no reason why they should be deprived of their just political and social rights , seeing that the possession of the latter , was the only sure mode ef secunngtbeformer . In the German communities ______

      in the Western world , it had been proved that four and a half hours labour per day was sufficient to produce all the necessaries , comforts , and luxuries of life , and leave a large surplus . for exportation , —( cheers)—thus giving ample time for recreation and the instruction of , and enjoyment with , wives families . Government had by their taxes on knowledge and other means , done all it could to keep the people in ignorance of such matters ; but the mind of man refused to be shackled—it burst its bonds asunder , and pressed onward to the goal of freedom and happiness , and would , despite all trair . cls , ultimately achieve perfect freedom . ( Applause . ) Under such depressing inferences it was _vervnredit-r

      able to the working classes that they , by dint of perseverance , had achieved such a large amount of intelligence aa that they now possessed ; and , when any man _coines forward and tells them that they were not intelligent enough to exercise the franchise , depend on it that man feels that the people are too intelligent to be used tor the purpose which he wished them to subserve . He also knew _» at . aristocrats might be found who would say' ° » , the working classes are beggars , living upon the labour we give them out of charity : they have no property , and are not entitled tothe franchise ;" but _ the high-spirited working men would reply"If we are beggars , it was the middle and upper

      classes wno reduced us to mendicancy , and we demand the Suffrage in order that we may have tlie P ? _wBr f adjusting society and gmng to every man his full measure of political and social fights . " ( Cheers . ) If they referred to the first Chapter of Genesis , they would find it therein written— "That God had given the land to the whole human race ;" - and he believed that it would tend materially to the benefit of society that the land should again be nationalised . Now , masses of the people were starving in the midst of plenty , but were the land properly cultivated , and fairly applied to the benefit of all , peace , plenty , and prosperity would pervade the whole globe ; but before any such beneficial measures had existence , depend on it , they must possess the People ' s Charter . The People ' s Charter was the greatitever by which social rights roust

      _oe obtained , and he looked on the man who opposed the advocacy of social ri ghts as being either actuated by sinister motives or as an ignorant man , in either case' totally unfit to be the teacher or leader of the people . It was pleasing to know what an advance the knowledge of social rights had made in France , and that it was powerful enough in that country , ahd that its progress was so certain as to insure , toi France a glorious future , and place her In the proud position of standing forth a bright and _glorious beacon to other nations . ( Applause . ) He appealed to them to perpetuate and extend their public meetings—to persevere iu temperately advocating their principles until the people were thoroughly convinced of their truth and justice—the government succumbed—and the Charter was the law ofthe land . ( Cheers . )

      Mr . _Mbbbiman said : He ' would rather he had not been called on to second the motion , for , perchance , the counsellor who might be employed to-morrow against him might make an handlo of it , and say he wished to turn bis little notoriety gained by the St . Martin ' s Hall meeting to profitable account . He perfectly concurred with the resolution when the Parliamentary Reformers first came out to court public favour ; they stated their principles were progressive ; he had at the very onset omitted that the property qualification for members of council was opposed to principle , and on making that suggestion he was informed that the matter would be brought before the Conference for its

      consideration , and on this pledge he had renewed his subscription ; but when Mr . Iteynolds bad submitted his propositions to that body , he was told the Conference had but one object in view—he supposed it was that of raising funds . The working classes were charged with intemperance , but , he believed , if they applied to the landlords , Boniface would tell them that the middle classes were their best customers . He exhorted them to persevere , and did not doubt that their efforts would be crowned'with success . The resolution was then put , and carried unanimously , as was also a vote . of thanks to the chairman which was duly acknowledged , and the meeting quietly dispersed .

      LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC-INSTI-. TUTION , JOHN STREET . On Tuesday evening , Jnne 18 tb , another fall meeting , convened by the Executive Committee of the National Charter Association , was held in this hall ; Mr ; Lewis in the chair , who briefl y introduced Mr ; J . B . Leno to move the following resolution : — " That this meeting hails with delight , the determination of the Excntive Committee of the National Charter Association

      not to countenance or support any set of men or measures , that advocate or propound anything short of the princi p les contained in the document known as the People ' s "Charter . It also" expresses its admiration of the trul y progressive policy bf the 'Executive Committee'in boldl y and emphaticall y declaring in favour of * Social Ri g hts , ' Viz .: —Nationalisation of Land , Mines , Fisheries , & c , & c . ° ; the extension of credit to all , a just and wise system of currency and exchange , together with a sound and comprehensive system of secular education , and a humane provision for the destitute poor . "—Mr . ' Leno said

      the people of England had beeeh called-an intelligent people , but he conld not perceive any great amount of wisdom they might possess , or why should they neeed . to pass such resolutions ? ( Hear , hear . ) In speaking of " credit and exchange" i gnorance was displayed , for things had hitherto been valued , not for the amount of comfort or happiness they might produce , but from their scarcity or demand . This said little indeed for the wisdom of the past . They sometimes had comparisons instituted between instinct and reason , but he , himself / thought thebalance was nrochin favour of instinct , for the birds , beasts , and - insects had provided for themselves and young , whilst

      the famil y of man had been neglected . ( Loud cheers , ) The resolution spoke of supporting nothing less than the ' principles contained in the . People ' s Charter ; and he could not see why anything less should either meet with countenance or- support . ( Hear , hear . ) In America there was an app roximation to Universal Suffrage ; but the present pernicious system allowed many to be badly off even there ; and he much feared it would be so everywhere , until social rights were established , and competition abolished . ( Cheers . ) He ( Mr . Leno ) . beHeved that the Creator gave the land to all—hence , he was in favour of the nationalisation of land . The

      resolution very properl y recommended national education and a provision for the destitute poor . He trusted every one present would do their utmost in spreading the truths contained in that resolution ., For his part , he would do his utmost , and could also promise ,, on the part of ' the _Democratic Propaganda Society—of which he had the honour to bo a member—that nothing would be wanting from

      tbat body . ( Cheers . ) Mr . J . J . Bezer , in seconding the motion , said he . fully agreed that tho Executive Committee were entitled to great praise ; for going the " whole hog , " . ( Cheers . ) Thb resolution was a most excellent one—it spoke p lainl y out for political and socialrights ; and be bad no ddnbt that not" only ' all present , but that every Democrat in the _united-kingdom ; would full y concur in that resolution . ' ( App lause . )

      Mr . G . W M . Reynolds , amidst , thernest rapturous applause , came forward , ahd said , the resolution had been moved and seconded by persons who were not members ' of the Executive Committee , in order . that tbe sense of the meeting mi g ht be fairly taken on the principles laid down for the-gaidance of the Chartist body . " Should that resolution be passed , it would be an approval of the . Executive , and a condemnation of all short-comers . ( Loud cheers . ) The middle class reformers must be aware that even their modicum o re orm would not obtain the sanction of the aristocracy —( hear , hear)—and if they , pclieved theirs to be a popular mdvernent _, why did tjiey not throw themselves into the armi of the people ? ( Cheers . ) -He ( Sir . Reynolds )

      Literary And Scientific-Insti-. Tution, ...

      nought it high ; timethat an end should be put to _Jiumhug ; rand he knew of no better plan of doing it than ; by the declaration of principles contained in the admirable resolution before the " meeting . ' ' ( Applause . ) The speaker then reviewed the proceedings ofthe late Reform . Conference , and alluded ; to the courteous and kind manner the Reformers had invariabl y been treated by the working classes , and said , had they possessed the good sense to have reciprocated the . feeling , they Would have expanded their little Charter , and made it to have embraced all . ( Cheers . ) Some persons , to whom the people had been fin ____

      the habit of looking up to as leaders _, had said that , were ! the Chartists . to add social ri ghts to their programme , ii would frighten tho timid , and . keep others from joining them . He-thought they must ; be timid indeed who would , he alarmed at wisdom , humanity , and justice . ( Cheers . ) He did not like the ; idea _! of the majority of : the people being kept continuall y at work to support the lazy and profligate . ' ( Hear , hear . ) The destitute poor , whom circumstances had rendered unable to work , should , of course , be humanel y and properly supported ; but , when he found strong drones like Lord

      Harrowby- _~( _cheersJ—who was able to give him a shaking ( b y the bye , no easy matter ) , then he wanted to know wh y they did not strip off their coats , go to workj and earn an honest existence . ( Much applause . ) He was sure he need not ask .. that meeting which they would choose—doubtlesss , " it , would stand b y the National . Charter Association . ( Loud cheers . ) He trusted that they would persevere extending a knowledge of whole- measures , uptil alt . ' mockeries . were . annihilated , and the soverei gnty of justice had triumphed over tyranny and oppression . ' [ ( Vehement cheering . )

      After a few words from Messrs . Arnott and Grassby ; : - ;[ ' - ' _[[] [ : \ [' ¦' ¦ [ , Z '¦ ' _-. : ' [ : ' ' . " Mr . Walter CooJpSR came forward , greeted with much applause , 'and said , he had been so subject 'to abuso that ' he had got used to it , and did not mind being numbered amongst " Athe % 8 and Republicans . " - The late Henry Hetheriugton had "been pelted with mud , on account of his principles , although they all knew what an excellent , merry , harmonious fellow he was ; and as all good and great men who were in advance _' of the age in which they lived , were subject to similar usage , he repeated , he regarded it not —( Loud

      cheers)—but when' he heard : an intelligent , working man stigmatised for buying a second hand pair o f _troirsers I he exclaimed , what , stigmatise a man for his poverty ! Oh shame . He was not ashamed to avow that , he had been steeped to the very lips in poverty , and that it had caused ; him to possess dire thoughts , and tow vengeance against the system that oppressed , them . It was thoir duty to hasten the . advent of that good time when " right-, . not . ; mi ght " , _-should rule the _> world . Talk * not to him .: of of Exhibition of "Works of Art . Man

      himself was the noblest work ih creation , and the time was coming . when he woiild stand erect and , in all his manliness and intellectuality , enjoy - the . existence of his being . ( Hear , hear . ) : 'He' had Bald at theiviast meeting , that the man for the time was he who diffused knowledge _^ ( Hear , hear . ) He believed there , was much work to be done , and that- more good could be . effected by love than by force . ( Hear , hear . ) He

      repeated he did not mind being called infidel , for he was faithless to all that was rotten and corrupt in the present state of society . Neither did he . mind the-taunt of Socialist and Republican . He avowed his Socialism , because he could not ' see the difference between a Lord and a . man ; he had been twitted for hot . using tlie usual courtesy in designating a lordling who had been to their place of -business—but he replied , you must excuse it , as he could not see the difference for

      STRIKE OF POWER-HOOM "WEAVERS ., The hands of Messrs . Barkers and Messrs .

      The Ten Hours Bill. - Melting Of Delegat...

      THE TEN HOURS BILL . - MELTING OF DELEGATES .. . - -. A numerous meeting ofthe factory delegates was held on Monday , at , the Cotton Tree Tavern , Ancoats , having been convened by the central committee , , " To tako into consideration the present critical state of the Ten Hours question . "—Mr . Paul Hargreaves took the chair ; , and delegates were present from Manchester , Preston , Stockport , Bolton , Blackburn , Astley Bridge , Padiham , Staieybridge , Droylsden , ; Prestfield _, Dukinfleld , Wigan , Belmont , Gorton , Hazelgrovi ? , Pendleton ,. Salford , Worsley , Hey wood , and Enfield '; ' while letters had been received from BradfordWarrington ,

      _Hebden-, bridge , and Macclesfield . ¦ : Mr . _Gbant gave a detailed account of his proceedings in London ,. whilst performing the duties which the delegates had imposed upon him at their last meeting , namely , to endeavour to impress upon parliament the claims set forth in the resolutions of that meeting , for a uniform and efficient bill of fifty-eight hours _perweefc , and to take every possible means in his power to obtain the insertion of the " children , " m the limitation of the factory day , as proposed bythe government . Mr . Grant complained of the _wantsif cordiality which was displayed towards himself and those who acted with ( Mr . Walker and Mr . Balme , ) by the delegatea . _in London representing the Lancashire and Yorkshire

      committeo . In the circulars which the latter issued to tho members of parliament , there was not one word urging them to vote in favour of children being included in the limitation ; and when ho and his friends , two or threo days before the division , endeavoured to obtain interviews with these delegates in order that a joint circular might be issued , such interviews were repeatedly refused , If they could Only havo been united in their efforts he had no doubt at all but that instead of having a majority of one against them they , would have had a large majority in th § ir favour . upon this particular point . ( Hear . ) Even after the division-was over on Friday night he suggested to Mr . Walker that they- might hit upon some plan to work

      harmoniously for a week or ten days , and try to improve the measure . They waited upon Mr ., Fielden at his hotel on Saturday _, morning , but he refused to tell them what course he intended to pursue , saying that he would consult some of his friends and meet them again at three in tho afternoon . Ee did not do so , however j and therefore all hope of effecting a reconciliation for this purpose was now out ofthe question . , With regard to the introduction of the question into the House of Lords , Mr , Grant stated tliat they had ' -: Seen Lord _Feversham , who was anxious to do all he consistently could to meet the wishes ofthe operatives ' , but ho had told tbem that to press . Lord John Manners ' s motion upon the Upper House would , be a waste of time ; because

      even if thoy carried it , which he very much doubted , it would again be rejected by ministerial influence in tho House of Commons ; and , in the scramble , the bill would be lost for the session . His lordship thought , however , that the limitation with . regard to children could bo easily gained in the House of Lords . They had also consulted with the Bishop of Oxford and Lord Wharncliffe , who gave them tbe same advice . Mr . Grant , in conclusion , advised the operatives , seeing , as he said , that it would bo folly to pursue a course which there was no chance of accomplishing , to direct the whole of their attention _to-the inclusion of the children in the limitation , reserving to themselves the right of applying iiext session for that full measure to which . they were undoubtedly entitled . ' ,. >

      A Preston Delegate asked Mr . Grant to explain a remark which he had made at the last dekgate meeting , to the effect that Sir G . Grey had promised Lord Ashley that the word " children " should' be inserted in the bill . '• ' f ' Mr . Giunt said his observation was this ; when Lord Ashley came to him in the . lobby arid represented that Sir George Grey was unwilling to ' _inelude the children , ho ( Mr . Grant ) stated to : his lordship that ho for One would go down to _Lancashire and endeavour to rouse the hostility of the operatives against it . Lord Ashley again went into the house , and the division took place , Lord Ashley and Sir George-voting in . the same lobby . On Sir

      George learning what he ( Mr . Grant ) had said , after J a further consultation , said that he had no dis _' mcli- « _f " f nation himself to include the children in the iuirita- ' tion of the factory day . He ( Mr . Grant ) had never stated that Sir George made any promise to do so ; but that there was flinching oh his part , in taking by surprise and not holding to an honourably understood agreement , he did not hesitate to declare . His conviction was , however , that ' up to the present hour Sir George Grey was in favour of children being included m the bill , but that he had found himself hemmed in by his colleagues in such a way that he was compelled to act contrary to hit- own conviction .

      Resolutions were then agreed to , imploring the government and the legislature to secure the two limitations of ten hours ' per day and fifty-eight hours per week , without shifts , and relays ; stigmatising the refusal pf the nouso of Commons to ' include children in the limitation ofthe factory day as evidence of an intention to continue the relay system by _theiaid of children of very tender years ; declaring ; that the House of- Commons had broken faith with the factory operative , and _pledging the meeting to petition the House of Peers to adopt the amendments proposed by Lord John Manner' andi Lord Ashley ; and deputing Mr . Grant to proceed ' to London to make the necessary arrangements with relerence to the passage of the bill through tho Upper House . The last resolution disowned tho application for pecuniary assistance made tothe Xational Association for the . Protection of _Kistive Industry , by some parties representing themselvesas delegates from the factory workers . ;

      A Suttee (Female Immolation) Has Recentl...

      A suttee ( female immolation ) has recently occurred not far from Bombay , of which a correspondent of the Telegraph writes as follows : — " The sutteo occurred at a village about twenty _ra'ileS ; from the Cutcherry . The husband was an old . man upwards . of sixty years , and the unfortunate _wt > man quite young , say twenty-two or twenty-three . The patell of the village came in to the collector . to g ive information that such an event was to be * ' apprehended , and expressed a wish to have a guard sent with bim to prevent the sacrifice . -The guard was given to the man at once , who returned [ immediately and with all despatch , but found on'hisarrival at the village , that the woman s object , had been effected in his absence , and all that remained

      was a heap of ashes . All who wore known to - _iave been present at the suttee were apprehended and tried by the district judge . Nineteen or twenty were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment from ten to two years . I heard the whole case , and blame could be attached to no one . The scene of the tragedy is an out-of-the-way place , and the patell did all in his power to prevent it . Nu one seems to have advised the woman—it was her own act , dictated and carried through of . her own free will . The parties were all of low caste ; the bus . band of the women was a spurious Brahmin , and by no stretch of tho Hindoo law , or rather traditions , could have "been entitled to such a sacrifice onthe part of his widow . " Judges' Salaries . —According to a return to parliamentthe salaries of the fifteen judges in 1815

      , amounted to £ 02 , 500 , and at the present period the salaries of tho twenty judges amount to £ 120 , 000 a-year . In 1815 the salary of the Lord Chancellor was £ 5 , 000 , and now it is £ 10 , 000 , with £ 4 , 000 in addition as Speaker of tho House of Lords . Fees and emoluments were considerable jn 1815 , but they cannot bo ascertained . The salaries of the ofher _iudses have , been increased since _1 S 15 . The puisne judges have £ 5 , 000 as salary ; their duties have increased of late years , and besides an expense of about £ 340 ori'each of two circuits a year , they have , wlien ill , to pay a fee of 300 guineas'to ; i sergcant-itt-law for ' officiating ¦ in their stead . ' The judges are called upon . to contribute toward * providing apartments in Sergeants ' -inn for the _transaction of chamber business . The Game Laws .-tA short time since _Snmuel

      Short , cottager , of Leeds Gate , was convicted at Horncastle of trespassing in pursuit of game , and was fined for the offence . He was then surcharged for not _having a certificate , the whole expenses amounting to about £ 8 . . Not being able to pay ' the amount , the assessor proceeded to levy a distress , broke open his dwelling , and seized and removed all his furniture and farming implements ; On the 7 th inst . they wero sold by auction at the Castle Inn , Coningsby , leaving the man and his family wholly destitute . ' . The Indian Times describes a new mode of curing the cholera which has been adopted by the civU surgeon of Howrab , in every instance as yet with complete success . The treatment consists in making tho patient inhale a certain quantity of oxygen gas . About fifteen European seamen , who had been brought into the hospital in various stages of tho disease , hnve been perfectly recovered by

Tbe descendants of the poet Schiller also received an intimation that , as the papers concerned their ancestor likewise , they had a right to be present .
