      EXTRACTS FROM THE _EDINBURGH ' WEEKLY EXPRESS . ' THE ' _IXTRESS' AVX > THB PEOPLE . _^ Man ' s destiny , with all his interesting relations , nigh hopes , noble aspirations , requirements , and extended capabilities ; his position socially , and what _ehculd be his position politically ; his improving and progressive nature will be the one engrossing theme , the centre upoa which we will constantly revolve ; and , ' whatever for a time may carry us away from this one great and paramount topic , it will only be that v * e may return refreshed , invigorated , and better qualified with new accessions of knowledge and power , to treat upon so weighty , so grave , so ¦ worthy , and so enlarged a subject as man , his responsibilities , and his relation to his fellow-man . But to

      tfo all this properly—to be enabled to make this organ effectually ani wholly the organ and _instruraent of the people , wherein all and every of their political and civil rights , which in fairness ought to be ; assessed and enjoyed by them , will be severally _handled , freely discussed , 3 nd brought home to the conviction and satisfaction of every plain and right ' thinking man—it not only requires that we must work , but it requires that you , whose name is legion , whose occupation is labour , and whose political position is laughed at as a dream , treated as a joke and a by-w ord—it requires , we say , that you in your own protection—thatyon , in _thejust defence of your infringed and robbed rights , come forward , and that wiiheut delay , in an associated and systematic

      form , and support this , one of the twe only papers rTMch . cares Onestraw either about you , your interests , or your well-being . We can , allow us to assure you , look to you only to maintain and float thr . mgh this _oaper ; for to look to others would , indeed , be trusting to a broken reed ; would , in short , be placing _dependence upon those whose whole happiness would be _^ ur speedy _dsath and burial . Comeforward , then , and do it quickly ; let no time be lost , for delay ia dangerous . If your organ goes down , there will be another triumph , another peel of victorial acclamation , that will ring the air , and which will be thrown at na . as the knell of our departed hopes . It is truly remarkable , but it is as truly melancholy , that in Labour's cause—in tke cause ot the millions of tbis country—there are only one or two organs at moBt that take up and treat as inviolable and inalienable the rights and libeitiea of the people . Is this not an odious , a notable , and an appalling fact , that while

      every ssall section of the richer classes have their organ , which duly represents them , and bravely maintains all their immunities entire and whole , the great palladium , the bulwark of the country ' s hopes , ?• iches , prosperity , and even independence ; in a word , the great millions of the people are in a hopelessly degraded " , enslaved , impoverished , anrepregentedcondition , unless through the columns ef that brightest of all luminaries , that fixed star of the greatest magnitude ( whose centre is the people ) , resplendent m all hemispheres , and whose cognomen ; is the 'Stab of the North . ' Come on , then ! Straggle for your own independence ! Strike at once fer Universal Suffrage ; and while you strike , _forgetnet to make ona universal , powerful , and organised stroke to support the humble efforts of the I _Edisburoh Wkkklt _Exphsss , in working out that great and master principle , Universal Suffrage , or man ' s rights recognised .

      THS CHASIIST KOVEHSKT IN EKGUXD . The Chartists of the great metropolis are exerting themselves nobly . A most important public meeting was held on Tuesday week , the principal speakers feeing { hose eloquent and able ressoners , Messrs TClark , _kalian Harney , and Ernest Jonea . The several speeches were worthy of the exalted reputation of the pztriotio gentlemen , and must have made a lasting impression on the audience . Everywhere in Snd around London meetings are being held ; and the executive of the National Charter 1 Association , and the directors of the Land Company , ara untiring in their efforts to arouse the men of London to renewed agitation for the Charter and the Land . In erery part ef England the cause looks well and

      prosperous ; numerous meetings are held ; and every thing indicates that the political campaign of IS _4 S will be pregnant with great and lasting results . We trust Scotland will arouse herself , and imitate the activity and energy of her English brethren ; and now that they have an organ they can truly call their own , _wn hope to hear of meetings being held ia every town in Scotland in support of the People ' s Charter . The utmost excitement prevails throughout the various branches of the Land Company and National Charter Association in regard to the position of Feargus O'Cooner , Esq ., ss M . P . for Nottingham . They are evidently determined to do their duty ; and , from the resolutions passed at their various meetings we hope to sea a goodly fund raised to meet the neeessary expenses .

      1 EIVBUEGE CHARIER _ASSOCIATION . The council of the above association held their usual weekly meeting on Tuesday , Richard Birkett in the chair . After the ordinary business was over , Mr William Urquhart , one of the agitating committee , reported that that committee had writteR to the Chartists of Dalkeith , Lasswade , _Loanhead , Gorebridge , Musselburgh , Leith , and other places , and were in expectation of receiviug immediate answers . The sub secretary then produced a draft of an address , as instructed at last meeting , which was approved of , and which is as follows : —

      ' The Chartists oi Edinburgh to the _peaple of Great Britain and Ireland , aad the Democratic interest in par . tieul 3 r . Friends and brother Democrats , in addressing you on the present occasion , and upon a subject which we conceive so materially affects each and all of the inhabitants of these realm * , we hope yon will notimpute to tis the sin of presumption la thus addressiEg you ia behalf of _ohb bs able to defend himself , and us also , as leargus O ' Connor , Esq ., M . P . He has shown hnn » elf to be , in s series of fifteen years' continued warfare against ths rich oppressor , the friend of the poor and oppressed . Oar object is not the gratifying of those passions which so often rankles in the human bosom , or the writing of fine addresses , and of making eloquent and sublime _harangae 3 , with no intention of putting

      their substance Into practical operation , but merely to have our sea . ses tickled with the plaudits of our fellow _, oen , leaving to them that will the carrying into practice of that which ° we merely propound in theory . Ko ; such ia not our object . But something more worthy a plac » in the human breast—a desire to return _enr gratitude to one that has done and suffered So much for as aad the oppressed of every line ; and , however weak , feeble , or confined oar attempts to do so may appear , our desire is nevertheless as pure , genuine , and sincere , _though it were clothed in the most choice and eloquent style onr language conld admit of . However able Mr O'Connor may fee to cope with his enemies , we know he £ _« act too proud to accept our humbler aid . _Prit-nds and brother Democrats , having caid so ranch , -we will

      saw enter more fully into the subject of our address , " v 7 e presume that you are all aware that our honoured aud acknewledged leader ( Mr O'Connor ) was lately returned as _member for Nottingham to the Commons ' House of Parliament , in lies of Sir J . C . Hothouse , by a sweeping majority of _independent electors of that town ; we also presume that you are aware of the _quaiificetioas required by law from individuals before being eligible to sit as members of Parliament ; ond also , that Mr O'Connor has , on various occasions , and in divers places , and t & rongh the medium ol the press , stated that he would never offer himself _^ candidate for , or accept of the representation of any place whatever , unless ha was thoroughly qualified to do so , and _thereby fee enabled to retaia his seat atidrepresenthis _constitneats when elected ,

      _evsn according to all the requirements and technicalities of the law . But frientlB and brother Democrats , perhaps yon are not aware of the fact , that in Nottingham there are a few base , unblushing rascals , who have come forward and disputed that gentleman '? qualification as _required bylaw , their object bein _^ to drag him to defend bis seat in the courts appointed for such cases ; asd , as they cannot purchase him , they intend to adopt the'Melbourne policy of ruining him with expenses , they beisg a party abundantly _possessed of the sinews of -war . Tou may rest assured they will endeavour to make the expeHEes as great aa possible , to ensure the success of their plan . They Know full well _hisJquRlification is sure ; hut in him they see a quick observer of their weak , shallow , shuffling designs ; a mighty

      opponent to their cunning , fraudulent , _treacherous , and blood-thirsty doings ; a fearless expounder of the truth aad lover of eternal justice ; in . short , one to be got rid of at all hazardB , and at any cost , even to the sacrificing of justice . ShaU you , then , the people of tbis mighty empire , knowing these things as you now do , stand coolly _looTaaj on , and Bee snch a base and flagrant attempt to crush one of the noblest-minded men this or any other country can boast of , and the greatest philanthropist of the age ; for the man that can , like him , turn round to those that _banishsd him from his native land , and lifted their hands to bury their murderous steel in his bosom , and say to them , 'Friends , from my BOul I forgive you / that maa is truly noble ; and the man that can loot round him , and heboid millions perishing _£ ? r

      lack : of food , ev . d _having traced ths cause , and found a remedy , can turn to the famishing people , and say , here friends , take , eat and live—that man is a philanthropist indeed , that man is . Feargus O'Connor , _Bsq . rVill you , then , allow such a man to be the victim of a _sllque , who laugh at justice , and reverence no law . Shall yon , ! electors , that boast of your privilege to ho 6 ucb , look unconcernedly on , and witness this ' attempt to deprive your brother electors of Nottitgbam of their just and lawful choice , without landing thorn your aid ! Justice cries Jfo ; self-interest catches the echo , and vibrates the sound ; for , nmembar , what is their case today may be yours to-morrow . Let but your

      representatives act ia as independent a manner a 3 Mr O'Connor has done and they immediately become marked mea and _espossd to a thousand scenes of persecution , and if . not men of lion hearts , and possessed ol more than ordinary courage aad _persever-nQe , they will ba driven to retire ia disgust from active public life into tbat of private a 4 clusioa | aad yoa thereby deprired of their honest and valuable services . We then rely upon your doing your duty ia watching over this oa 3 e , wbieh will be shortly tried , and ia the mean time to give your pecuniary- aid to defend the seat of Mr O'Connor , as it nouid be _unreasonable a . _ad unjust to expect that gentleman to do so , sseing be is the people ' s servant . A word or two w feu , brother democrats , and . we have done . _We ad .

Wb _oull span yoa to look at that mighty and Godlike scheme , the Laud Plan , as propounded and carried into operation by him , and eagerly embraced by scores of thousands of the people , anxious to fly from their present artificial state surrounded by immorality , famine , disease , and death—to that Jtale more natural and congenial to them , the tilling of the soil of their natlvo land , and turning this fair earth from being a Pandemonium , Into what the God of Nature intended it to be—a smiling paradise meet for the _rrsidence _' of men .

      NATIONAL DEFENCES . Last week a nnblie meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Leeds , convened by tha mayor , in compliance with a requisition , was held ia the _courthouje , under the presidency oi hia worship , ' to express ' . heir sentiments on the expected increase of the army aud navy , and the calling out of the militia . ' In opening the business , tho mayor said , that whilst he deemed it a peculiar privilege as the chief magistrate of the borough on all occasions to afford his _fellow-burgcsses a full opportunity forthe calm and dispassionate consideration of all subjects affecting

      their welfare , he rejoiced that the first _oooasien on which he had to exercise that privilege wss one which accorded so much with his own sentiments and wishes . The meeting had been _maialyconvened in consequence of the notorious _letter ef the Commander-in-Chief of the Army _, which had reference to the state of the national defences , and to the intention which was Baid to exist of augmenting the army and navy _estimatea . It was to be regretted that after thirty years of peace , the necessity for safeguards against war should still bo supposed to exist . Mr T . _NcififBzasr proposed the first resolution

      !—That this meeting has heard with regret that It h in . tended largely to increase the military eatablulnaentB of the country , thereby seriously augmenting the burden of onr present enormous expenditure in the army , the na _* y , and the ordnance departments , and that , toa _, during a ser ' ouB depression in all branches of national industry ; and would express its surprise that inch a measure should be proposed at a period when a long continuance of peace has created a kindly feeling of brotherhood between large and enlightened _wotions of all European nations , and after the recent assurances from the throne of tha continuance of tbe amicable

      dispositions of those nations towards this country . He reviewed the present state of the army and navy as compared with what it was ten or a _doeen years ago , and showed that a large increase had taken place in those branches of ouc national defence ; and he adverted to the fact that England had never yet been invaded , notwithstanding the attempts that had been made , as an argument to show that there was no chance of the island being successfully invaded _, it would , therefore , be impolitic to increase

      the public expenditure in providing against a very improbable contingency , especially in the present state of the national resources , and with the existing national burdens . In further disproof of the necessity for the anticipated expenditure , he enlarged upon the various circumstances which would prevent any surprise to the peopio of Great Britain iu case any invasion should be attempted . MrDARSi 6 N Lurros briefly seconded the motion . Mr Ed . Bainbb , jun ., moved the second resolution , _asfollows - —

      That tbe astonishment of this meeting is increased by the consideration that the proposal , if _sanotioned b _f Parliament , will so immediately follow the adoption of those enlightened and pacific measures of commercial intercourse , the ultimate and sure effect of whioh , tt was asserted , would be eo to unite nations together in the bonds of mutual dependence and common iuterest , that war would be Been and felt to be an intolerable evil , and that such an augmentation of our means of offanes and defence would be totally inconsistent with the recent policy of Parliament , and a practical . expression that

      the government and the legislature have " no confidence iu the principle on which that policy was £ _» successfully advocated . He said , he rejoiced from his heart to see Buoh a crowded meeting of his nativetown to protest against whatever tended to provoke -war , and to raise ita voice in support of whatever was favourable to peace . It was the saying of one of the wisest and greatest poets of England , that War is a gamo That , were tlieir subjects wise , Kings would not p ' ay at .

      Mr Maclea seconded the resolution , nnd , like the former , it passed unanimously . The Rev . Thomas Scales ( Independent minister ) moved the next _resolution : — That this meeting believes that tha best means of preserving international peace is , for each nation t _» remove all impediments to commercial intercourse ; to abstain from all interference in the quarrels or domestic aff . ilrs of neighbouring nations ; and to carry Into practloe , in its extended policy , tbe same divine laws of action which are admitted to be of absolute authority ovor the conduct of men in the relations of social life—noither backing its own claim for compensation or _redrsss with throats ef force , nor receiving the clsimB of other nations ia the attitude of defiance , bur alike seeking or yielding compensation in the temper of firm forbearance rad tho spirit of _inflexible justice . Mr _Rt-usRT Jowiti seconded the resolution , and briefly advocated the _advantages of peace .

      _ Mr _Joseph Richardson proposed the next resolution , which strongly deprecated the callingout of tha militia , or the enforcement of compulsory military service , as repugnant to the feelinr _. s ofa vast mnj . irity of all classes , as a causeless invasion of the liberties of the subject , and by many as an act of violence to their consciences and religious seruples , Mr Wvi . Brook seconded the motion . He saw no _reason why the working classes should be called upon to fight the battles of other people ; he did net _s ? e why , go long as they were denied the exercise of tbe _fnnchise _, they should be called upon to fight for others . H 13 cry would be , and he hoped it would be that of every working man , 'If we are to have no rote , we will have ' no musket . ' ( Cheers . ) The _Rey . Wm , IItjbswew , ( Independent minister )

      Proposed the fifth resolution , which declared that in accordance with these views , the meeting earnestly deprecated any addition to the military establishments of the country , but would express its confident belief that a largo reduction of the so-called ' peace establishment , ' which has been increased to a sum equal to the property and income tax , would have the best effect . Mr Punt seconded the motion ; and after its adoption a petition to Parliament , embodying _jjh . roso j u . tions above set forth , was agreed to _.

      Tue London Confederallsts. It Must Be Gr...

      TUE LONDON CONFEDERALlSTS . It must be gratifying to the Old Guards to know that their time hallowed principles are atlaatto be adopted in Ireland , and it may be truly said that agitation in tbat mis-governed and deluded country is about to commence in earnest . Messrs Mitchel , and Devin Reilly , who seceded from the Nation , and other competent contributors' havo issued a prospectus of a new weekly journal , to be published in Dublin , entitled the Uxitkd Irishman . _The'followmg extract will give some idea of ita political design : — Our Independence must be had at all hazards . If the men of property will not support us , they must fall : we can support ourselves by the aid of tbat numerous and respectable class of the community , the men of no pro-P 8 rty , —Tk ) 5 ard Wolfe Tone .

      The projectors of the United _Ibisdhak believe that tho werld is weary of Old Ireland and also of Youbi ; _Iraland—that the day for both these noiny factions is pa _« t and gone—that Old and Young alike have grown superannuated aud obBoleto together . They believe tbat the publio ear is thirsting to hear some voice , bolder , more _in'olllglble , mora independent of parties , policies , and cliques , than any it has beard for a long while . T _* ey believe that Ireland reall y and trul y wants to be freed from English dominion , . They know not how many or how few will listen to their voice . They have no party prepared to halloo at their backs ; and have no trust save in the power of truth and the immortal beauty of freedom . He that hath ears to bear , let him hear . Tbe principles on which the _Ubiteb _IaisnHArr will be conducted are shortly these : —

      1 . Tbat the Irish bave a jnst nnd indefeasible right to this island , and to ail tbe moral and material wealth and resources thereof , to possess and govern the same for their own use , maintenance , comfort ,- ' and honour , as a distinct sovereign state . 2 . That it la in their power , and it is ado their manifest du < y to make good and exercise that right , 3 . That the life of one _peaiaat is as precious as the life of one nobleman or gentleman . 4 . That the prepirty of the farmer * and labourer * of Ireland is as saered as the property of all tha noblemen and gentlemen in Ireland , and is also immeasurably more valuable , 5 . That the custoiacalled tenant-right , which _prevail partially In tk _« north of Ireland , U e . just and salutary custom both far north and south ; that It eiiRht to bo extended and secured In Ulster , and adopted and enforced , by common consent , iu the other three provinces of the island .

      6 . _Thatevoryraanin Ireland who shall hereafter pay tax ** for tha support of tho state , shall have a . just right to an equal voice with every other man in the _goverament of that state , and the outlay of those taxes . 7 . That no Irishman at present has any ' legal' rights , or claim to the protection of any law ; and that all' legal and constitutional agitation' ia Ireland is a _delusioa . 8 . That arery free man , and every man who desires to become free , ought to havo arms and practice the use of tbsm . 9 . That no Combination of classes' in Ireland _isdesirable , just or _posBiblo , save on the terms of the rights of the Industrious classes being acknowledged aad secured . 10 . Thai no good thlug can come fram the English Parliament or the English Government .

      Now it will be seen who was right and who waa wrong—Mr F . O'Connor or Mr O'Connell ; it must be gratifying to the former to see that although the latter did all that man could do to prevent Chartist principles from being promulgated in Ireland , that they are at last taken up , and about to bo noted upoB , by men who will not desert their country in the time of need ; BucceBs , then , to the _Uhiikd Irishhan . Oh ! for tho swords of former timo , Oh 1 for the men thst bore tbem , When _alm'd for tight they stood sublime , And tyrants _crouch'd before them . '

      The Curban Club . —A . _maet ' iKS of this club was held on Sunday evening last , at the Blue Anohor , "Jork-street , Westminster—Mr Richard _Hussey in the chair , who read to the meeting the letter of Mr F . O'Connor to Mr C . G . Duffy ofthe Nation , from the Northbes Stab , which was well received . — Messrs Reynolds , Campbell , Glass , Nolan and Burke addressed the meeting . Davis Club . —On Monday evening last the meeting at the Assembly Rooms , _Dean-street , Soho , was well attended . Mr _Flannican in the chair . —Mr J . J . _Filzgibbon delivered a lecture , ' Upon the beneficial results likely to arise from the establishment of Confederate Clubs , ' which was loudly appJanded . _—EKenealy , Esq ., barrister-at-law , en movine a rote of

      thanks to the leeturer , said , that he considered that the Club had been treated most _uncourteously by not receiving answers from Messrs Wakley and F . O'Connor , to the votes of thinks forwarded from that olub to them . As regards the only reason he ( Mr Kenealy ) could assign for his not doing so was , tbat he found he could not draw the Confederates into the vortex of Chartism and the Land Scheme ( Loud cries of'No , no , 'from several parts ofthe meeting . ) —Mr Nangle , said—he considered that Mr O'Connor was the tried friend to his country ; he had never deserted her in the worst of times ; in fact . Mr O'Connor was an honest man , while Mr O'Connell was a polished rogue . —Mr O'Regan said he did not agree with Mr Kenealev in denouncing Chartism and the

      Land Scheme . —The Chairman : Mr O'Regan , you are out . of order . —Mr O'Regan : As a member of this club , I am entitled to be heard . I only have to state that had ' the * funds of the Repeal Association been used in getting up a Land Company in Ireland , upon the same principle aB that in England , Ireland would bein a far better position than she now is ; the late agitation had been a delusion . He ( O'Regan ) believed in all the _principles of the Charter , and Repeal would not benefit Ireland , without ita legislature was based on the broadest principles of democracy . ( Cheers . ) lie believed that Mr O'Connor waB deserving ofthe gratitude of his countrymen . ( Loud cheering . )—Mr T . Daly : He could speak from experience . He had watched the

      conduct of Mr O'Connor , and that gentleman was a sincere politician , and the firm and unflinching advocate of hia country ' s rights . He ( Mr Daly ) begged to state that he was a member of the Lund Company . —Mr Reading begged to state to Mr Kenealey and ' the chairman , that from the multiplicity of votes of thanks and confidence pouring in upon Mr O'Connor that gentleman , in a letter in the Northern Siar to the Irish people , had thanked his countrymen in England , Ireland , and Scotland , for theirconfidence in him . If gentlemen would allow their prejudice to get the better of their common sense , and not read the Star , it was not the fault of Mr O'Connor . —Mr Kenealey gaid , he had said nothing that could ba construed into a denunciation of the

      Charter or the Land Scheme . He had been decidedly misunderstood . —Mr O'Regan : Icertainly understood you to denounce the Charter and the Land Scheme . The matter here dropped , and the business of the evening having been conoluded , the meeting waa _adlourned . A strong feeling was evinced in favour of Mr O'Connor , and any attempt to asperse the character of the People ' s Champion , come from what quarter it may , will be of no avail . TnE MANCHESTER anb Palfohd Confederalists , The Confederates ot Manchester and Salford held their usual weekly meeting , on Sunday _evening , the 17 th inst ., at the Tunperance Hotel , Great Ancoatstreet . Mr T . Bolton presided ; the meeting was crowded , and several _strangers were , present . —Mr Leech who had just returned from Dublin , in an

      able speech , dwelt at great length on making Repeal an _Englifjh question , and it was to be hoped that tlio time was not tar distant when the English people would take up the question , and demand its settlement . —Mr Dunne in an energetic speech showed the great benefit that would _resr-lt in all cases ef Irishmen uniting for the regeneration of their fatherland —Messrs Feeney , Flanigan , and J .

On Sunday evening they assembledas usual at Mr _lioorge Utley ' _s large room Mr Owen _Coopan was called to the chair . Several articles were read from the Dublin Register , the Nation , and the Northern Star , amonest the rest the excellent letter of Mr O'Connor in defence of the Chartist movement , and also the article headed the ' _National Di _« _tres » , ' from the Star , which were highly applauded . Mr _O'JLeary addressed tho meeting at some length , on the necessity of the committee exerting themselves to effect a thorough organisation of the Irishmen resident in this ' town , in order to procure aB much money as possible , to assist in defending the

      scat of that _uncempromising advocate of the people ' s rights , Mr Feargus O'Connor . —MrKeeth coincided in the remarks of the former speaker , and said tbat there were many Irishmen wishful that a reconciliation should take place amongst all classes of his countrymen , and for that purpose _^ he would suggest , that the committee wait on those individuals to bring aboutafriendly feeling . —Mr _O'Leary said tho society had given no offence to any individuals , and if they appreciated the principles of democracy , they ought to come forward and lend their assistance in carrying thero into _effect . —Mr Coyle followed in a similar strain . —Mr Deane did not see the utility of the committee running after a few persons whom they had not offended .

The letter of Mr Grattan , showing that if he were cul pablein voting for the Coercion Bill , Mr J , O'Connell was equally so , proved that he was right ; and he would ask , where was tbe man who would say he had onediop of Irish blood in his veins , that weuld not denounce the traitors ef his country ? He ( the

      speaker ) waa threatened with physical force for expressing his opinion , but he waa prepared to forget the past , if men would only work for the future in carrying out the glorious principles fer which their forefathers struggled . —A fresh committee was appointed , alter which a vote of thanks was given to the chairman , aBd the meeting separated . P . S . On the motion of Mr O'Leary , it was resolved' That the Democratic Confederates are prepared at a moment ' s warning to respond to the appeal of Mr O'Connor's electioneering committee , by aiding tbe Chartists of the town to procure funds to defend his seat in the House of Commons .

That no achoolhouse shall have mora than a quarter of an aero of garden land attached , and that it be allowed rent free to any one acting as teacher , as it is nnjuBt to force the said teacher to depend on agriculture for his support , as every labourer is worthy of his hire ; and by thus relieving him from the _reoponsibHity of cultivating land to a largo extent , enable him to pay the full amount of attention due to his pupils , who will thereby have a chance of progressing as rapidly as they would in a town . 2 nd . That no teacher be appointed until a requisition signed by the allottees on any estate be presented to the directors , on the assumption that the said allottees will be the best judges of their own solvency to pay the Baid teacher .

      3 rd . To prevent disappointment or misunderstanding , it will be desirable that a body of allottees shonld call on any teacher approved of by the directors , to furnish them with a copy of the rates of remuneration that he would expect for his services , which if accepted shall be mutually binding , aud if not accepted , will prevent the said teacher from incurring unnecessary . travelling ' expenses . 4 th . In the event of a teacher failing to give satisfaction , on representation thereof to the directors as the wish of the majority , that the said teacher shall be ordered to withdraw at the expiration of the quarter in which the dispute may arise ; as we may fairly suppose that the children would be taken from him , and that he could only remain there afterwards at a loss to himselt *; and that should it happen at a time of the year when hia garden is cropped , that his stock be valued and sold and the money given to him , that he may not incur disproportioned _Iobs .

      and all articles may be purchased on easier terms . The supply from farmers in all quarters is more than ade . quate for the consumptive d « raand , and the condition generally preventing speculation , makes busiuess exceedingly lifeless . Any attempt to sell from granary only further d « presses the trade . The condition of ourto-day _' _a supply of wheat from the farmers was decidedly inferioJ " to la » t week , and such not good to sell at a decline of 2 s to 3 s per quarter , while the best ruus _wjrj taken by our local millers at about Is to 2 s per quarter under the current rates of last week ; the transactions iu foreign _, a- e quite in retail , at a like reduction . Barley is more , saleable , at full last _vieek ' i ) rates . Moro inquiry for beans , and peas also meet more attention . Oats are neglected , though offered on lower terms . Linseed continue * to arrive freely , but the market continues firm . Cakes may be bought tha turn in favour of the buyer . Rapeseed quite nominal ; rape cakes saleable , at our quotations . More inquiry fur guano ; lews business passing in rye meal , but at late prices . The weather has beea varied , but , on the whole , not so severe as in some other parts , nor what might bo looked for at this period of the year .
