      XffAITCHESTEB . A large meeting of the Chartist mechanic c ? Manchester ^ as hdd on Thursday evening -week , in the Brown-street Chartist Room , East Manchester . The meeting was free to all trades . There were present & large number of smiths and other artisans . Mr . Ja ? ie * Dixox , an intelligent mechanic , -was called to the ehair , -who , after a few remarks , called upon ¦ :. " Mi . ( Jeiffin to read an address , of "which the underneath is a copy . Dnring ' the reading of the address the "working men paid most strict end silent attention , interspersed at times "with , applause , and at the conclaBien cheers resounded from all parts of the room . It was then moved and seconded by two members t- -& < -ui , an 2 nnanimously adopted as the address of ta *> Chartis mechanics of Manchester to their fellow-workmen . The Chairman then introduced ilr . James isach to the meeting .

      Mr . Lkach rose and delivered an instructive and argumentative lecture , which " was responded toby the plaudits of the assembly . The following is the address : — TO THE HECHASICS AXD SHADES OF GREAT BBITAIS . Fellow Work 3 iex , —If ever there was a time in the history of our country when it "Was imperatively the duty of the virtuous , sober , and patriotic of all classes to arouse from their slumbers , and be alive to their own interests , surely , surely , it never was more &o than at the nrtsent .

      We wish , in this our humble address , to call your attention to the awful and truly alarming srate of our country—the cause which has produced such an anomalous state cf things ; and propose for your corsiUtjation , what we ccmcsive would be the best lever t < s lift ns out of our difficulties as a ration ; check the canse which is bringing ruin upon us , and eitiblish in its place a proper remuneration for labour ; security to capital ; create confidence and goud-will betwix ? nnployers and workmen ; give justice to all , and ir . justice to none ; give health and vigour to trade , -bringing plenty , peace , and contentment alike to the cottage-and

      the palace ; ensure safety and prosperity m the nation , and make it what it has been—namely , " the e :: vy of surrounding nations , and the admiration of the "World . ' It must be evident to every penetrating mind tfeat the same cause which has brought us to our present deplorable condition , if allowed to exist , will bring U 5 lower and lower , by putting a complete stagnation to trada ; it will destroy all conn ience betwixt , man and man ! and , bring about discontent , poverty , Lnnser . crime , bloodshed , anarchy , murder , universal rain , and death .

      To prevent such devastation and calamity requires the exertion of evfcrv true layer of himself , his wife and children , posterity and his csuntry . Tiiere ara thousands of our fellow ere-itures bordering en a * tat » of actual starvstion—thousands of the real pride and prop of the nation—namely , industrious aen , have been compelled to leave their country , to seek a living in another ; whilst thousands of those who are willing to work , could they obtain it , have been driven to the degrading alternative , eiti er to starve , go ou > to beg , or go to the hostile . We see vies , pauperism , bankruptcy , wretchedness , and distress stalking forth with unblushing hardihood , through the land . The present system is fraught with danger to the bestinterests of society . "What , then , is the cause ?—Class legislation . " From this impure fountain has sprung the upas tree of corruption , which has spread its withering blighting branches throngh the institutions of the country .

      The system itself contains that which would prove Its own destruction even if we did not interfere ; but TrhilsS the system is going to ruin , the consequences are that the people are the sufferers . Wtilsc shopkeepers , publicans , and tradesmen are , living upon wtat little capital they have created formerly , the constitutions of the -working classes are being broken down by grief , hunger , and starvation ; they must , as a matter of course , sink deeper and deeper in privation and destitution ; more and more every week will be driven to seek reiief in consequence of being thrown ont of employment , which will raise the poor jates , and cause a greater demand npjn property- ; money "will fee taken out of circulation ; cottage property wiil fte ruinously depreciated in value , in consequence of the Ipeople not being able to pay their rents , or the k-ensts ¦ will remain empty . It will be as much as the working

      elasses can do to purchase even the coarsest kind of food ; to purchase furniture or clothing shortly will be entirely out of their power ; their not being able to consume high taxed articles will reduce the revenue , and cause the Government to lay ail their taxes on property , which will destroy the TP' ^ rnw class , aDd make only two classes in society , the one very rich , and the othe ¦ very poor . The home Market is being destroyed . There are many shopkeepers who are not taking sufficient to keep themselves , to say nothing ef paying taxes , their shopmen ' s wages and other txpences . Landlords will have to pay the interest of money and ground itnt , and this will in time ruin them ; shopmen will have to ba discharged , whica will throw more into the labour market ; and the manufacturers will not be able to Ind a market for their goods neither at home nor abroad—then comes the crisis .

      If we are to meet other nations In the same market , we ought , in order to be successful , to have the" same advantages ; instead of which we have to carry greater burdens than the people of ay , and in some instances than all the nations acainst which we have commercially to compete . Our National Dsbt is £ 133 . 990 , 000 more than the National Debts of Trance , Austria , Holland , Spain , Russia , Belgium , Prussia , Naples , Denmark , Greece , Portugal , Columbia , Mexico , Brazil , Peru , Ghili , and Buenos Ayres put together . Our State Church costs £ 500 , 000 per annum more than all the State Churches of the world . Our Queen receives more in one year than would pay the American Preside _ nt for more than one hundred and fifty years . The artizAns of some cf the above countries are taxed per head , not more

      than twelve shillings , whilst in this country , the taxation per head is more than £ 3 10 s . per annum . Our capital , skill , machinery , and artinns have gone into countries "which we formerly furnished with our manufactures In America many of the mills , indeed most of them are ¦ worked by water power ; the same power which would cost only £ 2 io £ by water there , would cost the English manufactuTftr £ 12 10 s . in steam . We have to go into those countries to fetch the cotton , bear the expence of carriage , and run all risk , manufacture it into goods , and then pay the expence of carriage , shipping , &c back , whilst they , oui competitors , have the water , the cotton machinery , plenty of food land , light taxation , plenty of coal and iron , as good English artisans as we have , and a market nndertbeir noses .

      Here , then , are the odds against us ; from this you may predict our inevitable ruin . What is the remedy ? Trades Unions ? ~ Sd , they have been tried and found ¦ wanting , a = d have caused ill-feeling betwixt master and man , " and driven each to great sacrifices , and always injurious to society at large . Repeal the law of primogeniture , that would only be one bad law , which is only an effect of class legislation . Repeal the poor law , the rural police law , the game la" » , the money , oi ihb corn law , oi any one single law on the Statute Book , and leave the root , of tb . 9 evil nntonched , and yon will be only dabbling with the effects of class legislation . ' The tree is known by its fruits ; evil fruit ever will spring from class legislation . It is a violation of Ihe natural rights of man , and based upon a wicked system of injustice to the excluded . We must go to the root of the evil ; we must have an organic change ; we must open wider the doors of representation , and give justice to all , . and render injustice to

      none . Oar plan , our remedy , our cure , our panacea , is the People's Charter , without appendage , uamutilated either in details or name ; and we are determined to agitate fer that , and that alone , nntil it is made into a legislature enactment . In this resolve we have already the co-operation of the working men of upwards of four hundred towns , who are members o ' f-the IS ' itiona ] Charter Association—many of the middle class and shopkeepers , and trades , besides men of the most sterling patriotism and transcendent abilities Thousands ate joining every week ; and almost every oiher agitation has neatly verged into that of the Charter , believing that to fcg the only safe guard to keep the vessel from sickiug , As the £ ist grand point of our Charter , we advocate Universal Suffrage liable to the following conditions : —

      _ / " ¦ " That the TOter should be a male , twenty-one years of age , of sound mind , unconvicted of crime , not guilty cf personation , bribery , er forgery of election certificates , and can prove a three months' residence as a householder or lodger . " The above is the Universal Snffrage of the Charter ; a suffrage for the virtuous only , from which the perfidious traitor to his country ' s rights would be excluded ; a suffrage discriminating , equitable , and just , founded on natural laf ? and first principles . God and nature not having made any difference in our coming into the world and going out of the world , there ought not to be any distinction , politically speaking , in our voyage through the world . If any portion of the comrnusity are entitled to their birth-right , and onshi to enjoy it , nue : ythose -who produce everything v&inabia in society ought not to be excluded .

      Tote by Billot ve advocate , deeming it the only safeguard of the poor but conscientious voter— -his only protection against bribery , corruption , and intimidation i but we resist the Ballot without the Suffrage as useless and insufficient , upon the same principle that we ¦ would a seabbard without a sword . We advocate for Annual Parliaments , because they would preserve mere closely the connection between the elector and the representative , prevent bad government arising from corrupt Ministers , and Senators troubled -with short memories sad truckling principles ; and because the first principle of the Charter cannot be properly and honestly carried ont without it If a man come of age just after an election under Triennial Parliaments , ha would bate to remain nearly three years before be could be made a freeman and exercise the privilege of voting .

      . We advocate for Equal Representation , as by its introduction the constituencies , in some cases so disproportionately numer&us , would be reduced ; in others bo diminnSve "would be multiplied , bo that Harwich with its 150 electors would not send * a eqaal number of Members to Parliament with the thousands of Westminster , &c

      We advocate the No Property Qualification for Members cf Parliament , on the principle that it is neither the extent of a man's acres nor the depth of bis purse that qualifies him for a legislator ; but that political integrity , mental intelligence , moral supe riority , and nawavering consistency , in patriotic devotion to our common country , form infinitely more important , nay , indispensable qualifications for the senator and the statesman . Payment cf members we think necessary under the operation of a No Property Qualification Parliament , as the most efficient guarantee for the faithfulness and integrity of the representative .

      These , then , are our political principles . They are abstractedly just ; they partake of the eternity of truth and the stability of the immntable . No contrivance , no shuffling , no threats will ever induce us to forsake them : the i-nly way to lead us from this is , by fair discnssioE , to show that they are contrary to truth , not our riehta , ani ? also impracticeble . We believe that though the country is in an awful state , those principles will , if adopted , prove a remedy . There are sefficient elements and materials in Great Britain to make the people happy , comfortable , prosperous , and free . Under a just government every human beiog might be put in possession of a good educatien , good clothing , good food , and . good shelter ; the government knowing this , and having the opportunity to carry it out , and not doing it ought not to be tolerated , but immediately reformed .

      Our past Government has not secured those necessaries to the peeple ; aed the present , we believe , will not ; hence it is that wo appeal for yonr assistance to do it for eurselves ; or , in other words , to obtain the power to elect a Government who will be pledged to do the people justice . Brother mechanics , we call upon you as you love yourselves , as men who wish to be free , &s yeu dtit ^ st slavery and bondage , to show your affection for your wives and children , as you wish to show your attachment to liberty , to come forward , convene your meetings as early as possible , and join the National Charter Association . Follow the noble example set by a few of the trades of Manchester , that is , the juiners , smiths , fustian cutters , painters , boiler makers , and shoemakers ; be not last in the field . Remember , that it wa 3 more owing to tfee dtterminaticn and spirit in ¦ which the traces in particular demanded t ' Reform

      Bill that it was passed . Bear in mind , that if you do not alter the system it will destroy you , and you will bequeath slavery ts posterity ! The National Charter Association iB strictly legal . Arouse , and put your shoulders to the wheel ; enrol yourstlves , and extend the Association . Be firm , sober , united , nm \ persevering , and we must succeed . Let liberty be our motto ; and be determined to gain it . The factions—the enemies / to your interests dread you . the trades , most . When the trades of G eat Britain unitedly declare for the Charter in a voice not to be misunderstood , it will be gained ; and then you live in the sunshine of freedom , bask in the sha-iea of plenty , and ri-joice in the success of your exertions , your homes stored with the gomi tilings which nature sends so plentifully , your children and posterity will hold you in lastintr remembrance for good fathers , good husbands , and brothers .

      That you may come forward and lend an helping hand , by joining the Association , which is destined to break the neck of tyranny , oppression , and injustice , and be the salvation of yourselves and country , is the sincere wish of Tour fellow-workmen , The Chartist Mechanics ot Manchester . Signed , on behalf of the Mechanics , in public meeting assembled , James Dixon , Chairman . June 30 , 1812 .

      The following comes from New York : — " Are you fond of novels , Mr . Jones ? " "Very , " responded the interrogated gentleman , who wished to be thought by the lady questioner a lover of literature . " Have yon , " continued the inquisitive lady , " ever read Ten Thousand a Year ? * tw No , Madam ; I never read so many novels in all my life . " Alahming Accident at Bmghton . —On Saturday night , about nine o ' clock , the neighbourhood of the Montpellier-road was thrown into great consternation by a loud report .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT 3 RITAI 1 ^ Brother . Democrats , —You have now ; the balance Bheet fairly before you . Any person who will glance a moment at the amount of cards issued , and the receipts , will pee that there is upwards of £ 50 owing to the Executire for cards . I send to the country a list of such towns as have not contributed any thing during the last three month ? . Several places have lately joined , and consequently , cannot : be expected to do much yet I am aware that ' ( parties feel aggrieved if I allude to those places that have ; supported the Executive -well ; thif I cannot help . I will here put a fair question : — Suppose every place Md acted as Todmorden ; as the Halifax , Hebaen Bridge , Bradford , and Hudderafteld Districts , in Yorkshire ; as Rochdale and Mossley in

      Lancashire ; as Mertbyr Tydvil , in Wales , and some few other places , what would be our position now ? Why , that instead . .-of . being hardly able to call the new Executive together , aa is the case , we could employ twenty agitators to go into the agricultural districts to arouse the whole of our labouring population . It is true much has been dbhe , and much is doing . It is true that Doyle , West , Jones * and the local agitators have spread our principles far and wide in Yorkshire ; Cockbum , in , the Newcastle district ; WilUains , in Durham and Sunderlana ; in Lancashire , Bell , Leach , Cartlidge , Duffy , Brophy , Dixon , Littler , Roberts , ClaTk , and a host of others , meet the enemy in any direction he may choose to appeal ; baffle and destroy him . Harney , Baintow , Cooper , Harrison , Taylor ,

      Sweet , and others , have worked wonders in the Midlands . Uiohards , and the good men of the Potteries Lave carried Chartism into almost every hamlet in their district . Linney is doing his share pf the work in BilsVon . MasonandWhitein theBirniinghamdistrict Mogg and Child nre extending it into the remotest parts of Shropshire . Ridley , ^ Vheeler , Parker ; Bfaynard , Stallwood , and a host of others , too numerous to nisntion , have made greater progress in forwarding Chartism in the Metropolis , than was ever done before . Williams and Simeon * in Wales ; whilst Beesley has carried it into the bills of Cumberland . Now : what does all this tend to ? Why just this , that in despite of poverty , threats , loss of employment , spies , persecutiohs , and prosecutions , in all cases where our opinions could fairly fee brought forth and publicly tested , they have been approved of ; hut let us not he so

      foolish aa to imagine that 400 places are enough to be enrolled under our sacred banner ; or that 50 , 000 members are sufficient to be united together . Noj no ; that wont do ; we must have 2000 places incorporated , and 1000 , 000 men united . Let us no longer be apathttic —let \\ b no longer lay the flattering unction to our souls that we are te obtain liberty easy . If we are to secure the great object we have in view , we must struggle unceasingly for its attainment . Let us be resolved to send mend into Cumberland , Westmoreland , Northumberland , and Durham . Let every place "where there is n good association imitate the noble example set by the General Council that assembles monthly in Manchester to employ the county lecturer , and transact the . other business in connection with the county—namely , to assist those places that have no Associations to open one in each place .

      The C luncil immediately despatched their lecturer , Mr . William Bell , into the more southern parts of Lancashire . The consequeneo was that in a fortnight he extended the Association to five fresh placeB , besifleavisiting several that were before incorporated in the National Charter Association . Mr , Bel ! immediately furnished me with the name of the sub-Secretary in each place , gave them instructions how to correspond with me , and otherwise how to act . Every authorised lecturer ought always to have cards with him , and ought to induce as many places . to join us as possible , and send me word whenever a new place becomes united , with the name of the sub-Secretary . .: : - .

Have these counties been sufficiently agitated ? Are the population sufficiently alive to their interests , rights , and wrongs ? No ; nay more . Arethe two great ChartlBtcouuties of Lancashire and Yorkshire sufficiently agitated ? No , I unhesitatingly answer , no ; and yet some men seem to imagine they are . However Messrs . Doyle , West Duffy , Brophy , Leach , Beesley , Cartlidge , Bell ,

      Campbell , Bailey , Littler , and others , can give positive answers on that head ; It is very true that aome places are fufflctently so , but those few do not compose even the majority . For the sake of the cause , for our own sakes , for the love we bear our families , and by out hopes of happiness in the next world , I implore of you to unite as one man to save our country from rain . Let you , who are comparatively well off , boldly declare for justice for a \ l . Look at the poor emaciated creatures who are almost driven to frenzy by the atrocious enactments of Whig and Tory . - No secrecy of any kind—we are really becoming powerful .

Imitate the noble example set bytke fustian cutters , carpenters , joiners , mechanics , boiler makers , smitlWi and bodt makeiB ef Manchester , who have boldly declared for the principles of the People ' s Charter , and who havo already joined the National Chaiter Association . , | I remain , Your brother democrat ,

      HOUSE OF LORDS—Friday , July 1 . Petitions against placing the medical charities of Ireland under the regulation of the Poor Law Commissioners were presented , and also on tho subject of the employment of females and young children in coal mines , and complaining of taxea upon khovrledge . Lord Campbell stated that it was not his intention to introduce during the present session , any bill regulating the law of evidence in Scotland . After some observations on the nature of the law of evidence in Scotland , the Noble and Learned Lord said that he should , after a careful examination of the present law , introduce a bill to assimilate the law of evidence in Scotland to that of England . The Lord Chancellor postponed the second reading of the bill for the Limitation of Action in Ireland until Friday next . -. ;¦ . - ; . : ¦ '' . ' . ; : ; '¦ ¦ -. '' ' - .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , —Friday . The Earl of Devon's Estate Bill was read a second time * and ordered to be committed ; the New South Wales Bill "was read a third time , and passed ; the Stock-in-Trade Bill was read a third time , and passed ; the Matchester , Birmingham , and Bolton Police Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be committed ; the Ordnance Services Bill was read a second time , and ordered to be cammitted . Lord John Russell moved the further consideration of the report on the Bribery Bill .

      The SoLiciTOB-GENEp . Ai , said that he Trnew that there was but one feeling with , regard to ihe subject of the bill—ntttiiely , that the bill should be made aB effective as posslbla Now , in its present shape , it was impossible that it could be of any effect ; and without pointing out the defects in the bill as it now itboil , he would suggest to the Noble Lord that the better course would be to refer it to a select committee , who would put it into an effective shape , which they would do in a much more satisfactory manner than by a committee of the whole bouse . / After a few observations from Mr . C . Wood , Mr . O'Cbnnell , and one or two other Hon . Members , the bill was re-committed . The Chancellor of the Exchequer moved the order of the day for going into committee of supply . Mr . Wallace then rose to move the following resolutions , of which he had given notice , viz : — .

      1 . That the trades and manufactures of this country are labouring under great embarassment and difficulties .- . ¦ - ¦ ¦ ' " V ; ' . ¦ - - .- . . ' . '• 2 . That the Industrious classes are also Buffering many privations and severe distress . . 3 . That this state of things has been gradually advancing fof several years past , and is now extending in a most alarming degree . 4 . That the alterations made in the Corn Laws , and in the duties en imports and exports , coupled as these have been with an income tax , to add nearly four millions of taxation to this already heavily-burthened country , cannot be expected to afford tfeat relief which the continually declining state of traded and the distressed condition of the people so urgently require .

      5 . That the welfare of her Majesty's faichful people , and the future peace and security of the country , imperatively demand that effectual measures shall Immediately be taken to rescue the working classes from the privations and sufferings they have so long borne , with a degree of patienca and fortitude which specially entitle them to the affectionate sympathy of their sovereign , and to the respect , commisaeratiou , and as-Bistance of the House . ; : 6 . That therefore an humble address be preaanted to ber Majesty , praying that her Majesty will be graciously pleased to refuse her consent to the prorogation

      of Pdtliamentv until a diligent and searching inquiry shall be instituted into the causes of the unprecedented distress existing at present all over the kingdom ; and thereafter , until her Majesty ' ; and this House shall have been assured by her Ministers , that effectual means are secured to provide sustenance for the unemployed and their destitute families , until their Bufferings shall be terminated by demand for their Industry , and wages for their labonr . " ; . ¦ ; The Hon . Gentleman drew an affecting picture of appall ing dlstrets under "which the working classes were now labouring , and which was continually augmenting . Mr . Walkee « ecbnded the motion . / . "

      Dr . Bowrino affirmed that the distress was daily on the Increase . The present crisifl"waa one "which appealed to our feelings of benevolence and humanity , as nun and Christians . They bad incurred a vast expence in an unnecessary "war in a remote part of the world , whilst millions of starving people were asking fot bread . They asked merely for a market for their labour , but this was refused . The present state of the working classes was even perilous ; and in many districta it was imposalble to collect the raUs . One-tenth of the population was dependent upon charity ; and would they depart to their homes without sympathising with their woes ? He hoped t !\ ey would not The Poor Laws and the Corn LawB can-

      Mr . Ward disapproved of the ambigoUy of the motion of his Hon ; Friend . It was Useless to prolong the session unless there \ ras something to discuss , and some definite measures for relief should be brought before tha H juse . The supporters of the Corn Laws required proof of themost Self-evident truths . J The people did pot want charity , but they wanted to exchange the produce of their labour for food ! They ( the people ) wanted to be allowed to Ubot » fdr their living . No nien had 3 right to undertake the government of this cou&try , unleBa they were prepared to apply a remedy to the existing distress . We should give an example to foreign countries by the adoption of enlightened / views , Instead of stirring up their prejudices by our short-sighted policy . The people merely wished for an extension of those principles involved in the change of the tariff . That

      great distress existed was undeniable . In the town of Leeds nearly one lialf of the popalation was out of employ ; and the unemployed people of Sheffield were scattered over the countTyi and depending upon cisual relief for subsisterjea . Every one of these : men traces the causes of his sufferings to the existing restrictions on trade ; and they wanted a free trade in theneces . saries of life . Parliament could do much ; for . if they did their duty the prosperity of tbe ' manfacturers weuld soon be restored . But they were blinking the real question when they talked of charitable subscriptions—( hear , hear ) . He ( the Hon . Baronet ) would perhaps be obliged to open the ports before the wintor ; and they would not be able to grapple with the evil unless they abolished the Corn Laws , or imposed a very smail fixed duty- ^( cheers ) i : . . . : ; ; ¦;

      After some observations from Mr . Blake and Mr . P'Jsraeli ,. ¦ ;¦ ¦ ¦¦ . ¦ . . ¦ ; . . " . ¦•¦ , ¦ ¦ ' . ' ;; ¦ : ; ; ¦¦¦ ¦ . - . : : : ' . . ¦; . ' . Mr . Hume considered the Corn Laws and other commercial restrictions to be the principal cau * e of the prevailing distress . CDnhtries whose sole exchangeable commodity waa cotn , could not take ' :-enr ' . 'good ' s ; the Americans and other countries could not deal with us , because we refused to take their corn in exchange . Mr . Att \ vood opposed the motion . '¦ ¦ :. Lord John Russell disapproved of the motion of his Hon . Frien < 1 , because it suggested no remedy for the exlstij ) g distress ; and he ridiculed the inconsistency of the advocates of the new tariff , who . whilst

      they admitted the principle that the reduction of the duty on eotton , < &c . would increase the consumption of these articles , yet could not see the analogy between ' that , and the introduction of foreign corn , at a fixed duty . He considered that mode of reasoning as utterly fallacious , which supposed it necessary for France , in the event of our imposing a duty on her goods , to impose one on ours in return . It onl y encouraged , sniuggliug , and was , besides , a most illiberal and short * sighted policy ; and he would , whenever it was requisite , give his vote for an alteration in tha present Com Laws . The Hon . Gentleman who made the motion tonight , had not . pointed out any definite remedy for the existing evil , and he must oppose it accordingly .

      . Sir K . Peel animadverted upon the resolution ef the Hon . Gentleman , but particularly on the one which refe . red to an address to her Majesty . The Hon . Gentleman had not the fairnesB to investigate his ( Sir JR . Peel ' s ) remedy . Were the Corn Laws abolished , jit would not materally diminish the distress in the mannfacuiring districts ; it Was the immediate consequences of improved machinery . ¦ ; ; Mr . Gibson said , an import trade necessarily created an expert trade . Hence , the fallacy of the opponents of free trade . Then , what was msre reasonable than to

      institute an inquiry ? If be shrunk from the question merely on account of the wording of the resolution , he should be Iaugbed at , and it would be considered merely as an excuse to shrink from inquiry . They ( the manufacturers ) only asked for leave to exercise theii industry , ^ but the agriculturists came to the House to demand that other people ' s industry should be checked for their benefit . He believed the Income Tax would be derived from the funds destined to maintain labour ; and the end of it would bo to make the labouring elassea worse than they were at present . ; Mr .

      The Unemployed . —We understand that there ie an immediate prospect of a considerable number of the unemployed obtaining work . The trustees ef the middle district have voted £ 200 toward the expence of making the road through the Charity \ Vorkhou 8 e grounds , from the Gandlemaker-row to the head of the Meadow-walk ; the CommiEsioners of Impfoveinents givp £ 100 \ and a considerable sum is estpeptedi from the committee that takeS charge of the fund for the unemployed . And several other matters of local improvement are spoken of , which will tend to give employment for a time . — Edinburgh Observer .

      Newspapeb Stamps and Advertisements . —From a return laid bofore tho House of Commons , it appears that , eince the reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers in 1837 , the riumbfer of newspapers published in the United Kingdom has been nearly doubled . In 1836 , when the stamp was four-pence for each paper , the total number of stamps issued was 35 ^ 576 , 056 ; and , in the year ending Maroh 31 , 1842 , it had increased to 61 , 495 , 503 . In the former year the amount of duty was £ 443 , 278 , while in the latter it was £ 253 , 779 . showing a gradual increase

      since 1837 , when the duty was £ 217 , 480 . The number of advertisements in 1836 was 1 , 432 , 612 , and the duty £ 103 , 248 ; while in 1841 they had increased respectively to £ 1 , 778 , 957 ,, and : £ 128 , 318 . The increase in the number of stamps issued has taken place chiefly on papers published in Great Britain , as will be seen from the following returns : —St amps for Irish papers in 1836 , 5 , 144 ^ 82 ; in 18 41 , 5 , 986 , 639 , English papers , for the same years , 27 * 777 , 036 , and 49 , 674 ! 855 .

      THE EXECUTIOJCf OF COOPER . On Monday momlng Cooper , the murderer of Daley ^ the poUcemah , was executed at the Old Bailey . The multitude assembled to witness the scene appeared to be as great as that at the execution of Goed , and Be ^ verat men and women were in a state of intoxication , and evidently attended toi enjoy the horrible exhibition . - . ;¦ . - .. v ' - •' . ¦ . ' ' v-v . - . •• ¦ ¦ ' The Rev . Mr . Carver , who h been in constant attendance upon the convict since the > Sherifis intimated that the execution should take place at a stated time , sat with him during the greater part of the evening of Sunday , and heard from him a long history of enormities , which he also detailed to the sheriffs . '' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ '¦ : ' ¦ . ' ¦¦ '; ¦ " ' : ¦ . ' . '¦ ¦' ¦ '¦ ' •; , : , ¦ ¦ ''¦ ; , „; .,: . : .

      Cooper declared , without the least hesitation , that he deserved to die a violent death , for hehad committed not only the murder of Daley , but between twenty and thirty highway robberies . He managed to escape for a considerable timei he said , by admitting no companion in his robberies , and by uniformly selling the watches and other articles he thus obtained to the Jews , instead of taking them to the pawnbrokers , ¦ whom he designated as the very worst enemies a poor thief could have . He always appeared in a mask , and seldom met with the least resistance from those whom he attacked , but he never seriously injured any one , except on the day he committed the fatal violence for which he was sentenced to be executed . Once he stated , by was Btrnck by ; a baker at Islington , / whose watoh he stole , but a knock-down blow from his flat soon settled the business , and the

      assaulted person was glad to get away with his life . He never appeared on the highway mthout having in his possession a brace of loaded pistols , but he never'before the , diy he shot Daley attempted to use them . He frequently upon going inte the company of ¦ women .: of the town took out his pistols and laid them down , mentioning , at the same time , ; the affair in which he had been previously engaged , but in no instance bad be been betrayed—a circumstance for which he could not , he said , at all account , except by aacribing their silence te their fears of his violence , or their disbelief of his desperate statements of . the enterprise in which he had been engaged . He told the Sheriffs that he felt greatly obliged to them for not having " made a show '' of him on Sunday in the chapel , and assured them that he would have opposed any attempt to compel him to attend divine service , if they had not given orders for the exclusion of the public .

      ' The wretched convict several times expressed , linme diately before his execution , his abhorrence of being '' hangtid like a dog" before a crowd , althoughbe knew " the choking" would give him little or no pain . He was greatly subdued in Bpirit when the executioner entered his cell and began to pinion him , and he trembled excessively as he walked along the passages to the place of execution . He uttered riot a word after he was placed in the hands of the hangman , but walked slowly supported by that functionary and an assistant to the platform , upon ascending which he was saluted with yells and groans ^ ' He died ¦ without much apparent suffering . The witnesses to the execution , who were within the prison , were only the Sheriffs , the TJridersherifla , the Ordinary , the Governor , the executioner , and his assistant ; The Sheriffs considered it to be necessary , in consequence of ths misrepresentationa which have frequently been made , to exclude all persons except those whose duties were immediately connected with the prison .
