Burke , a gentleman well known on the turf , being backed for £ 50 to trot fourteen , miles within an hour j with a monkey for its ridsr . The novelty of the affair attracted , in addition to the betting men and cognoscenti in hors ; flesh , an immense assemblage of spectaiors , including several ladies resident in the neighbourhood in their equipages . The monkey of course was the " lion" of the day , and according to the conditions of the match , ho was to ba
booted , spurred , and otherwise attired after the fashion of the jockies at Epsom or Newmarket , and was to ride the pony in the usual style , with saddle and bridle . The monkey originally selected for the undertaking is the property of a foreigner ; but in consequence of his making au attack en the owner , ajid wounding him with his teoth severely on tho arm , it was deemed prudent by Mr . Burke to obtain a suhstituto . and with that view Mr . Batty , the celebrated equestrian manager , was applied to for the loan of ono of his trained mo :. kcys , and that gentleman selected " Signor Jocko , " who had already earnsd considerable reputation by his performances in the circle at the Surrey and o'her metropolitan and provincial theatres .
At the appointed time the " Signor" made his appearance , attended by one of the . rough-riders belonging to Mr . Batty's es-tribUshment . He was dressed a In Cbifney , or Scott , his jack * t and buckskins being built by a first-rate west-end Schneider , and his top-boots would have done honour . even to the renowned Hoby . Tho colours be sported wer . i red and white , and in his ri ^ ht paw he carried a handsome riding wh p , and also wore a pair of small spurs buckled rouiid his boots . The pony he was mounted on is a v . ry fast trot ; cr , but notwithstanding his performances , time v ; as in
thi 3 iiifiar . ee backed at odd ? . After the arrangement pi ' the u . ual preliminaries the 8 tart took place , Mr . Burkf * , and a gentleman , the friend of the party why had t-ksn ths .- bet , cantering on each side of the pony , with ohc or two others galloping in the rear . He porformed the distpiica in fifty-six miuules and fiftv-three seconds of the given time , cons ? quently having three minmes aiM seven seconds toapaie . aucl was not at all aistrcs-ed . Th « Signor rode in first : rsto style , came in with his whip in his mouth , and appeared quite conscious of his own merits as an equestrian . It is said that this feat is unparalleled m the annals of tho turf .

HUDDBStSFXSLS . —Triumphant Gh-. \» t ' ist DtMoNSTRAiio . N . —Tuesday last was a day that wiil be long reniumocrcd by the " good ; uea and true ' 0 ?' the ' Tight eye of l ' orksliiro . " Thoir cause ' , received an impetus , and their principkfi enpyed a triumph that gldddcncd every heart , and l'tu .-en'vi every toiiguo . GfatuhvAon and congva ; u 3 a : ^ n wore heard on every side . Tho occasion was , 0 Co-nnor ' s longpromised visit . Ho was announced to lecture at eijiht o ' clock in the evening , in the lar . ; o pavilion erected for Wallett ' s company cf cquostnaHa . Taa streets of HuddersScld , even at noon , \ vero lined with crowda of anxious expectants ; tho town preseatiofj axovo-the appcararico of a fair than the
appearance of a mai ket day . Is had boon . ' arran ^' -od to form in procession , and meet Mr . O Co . vnjr about a mile from the town ; and thus conduce him to tho place of meeting : his arrival , however , some two hours bei ' bro the time annpunced , joined with the Wttnesaof the evening , caused ' this portion of the arrangement to be Rivea up . Three bands of music , who had Volunteered their services , entered the tovvnfrom different parts ; arid , though they were drenched to the skin , their patriotic ardour was not damped . They played round the town in gallant style . At eight o ' clock Mr . O'Connor proceeded from his inn to the placo of meeting , accompanied by a great throng of . working men . The shop windows aad entry-ends passed in '¦ ¦ his short route were lined
with the shop-keeping class ; and it was indeed amusing to wifchess the looks , and hear tho oxclamations and expressions of opinion , of these members of the supremely short-sighted and truly ignorant body of society . 'IV . ose of them whoso onco customer * were the working-men ( when they had wages for their work ) , woro dejected and chop-fallen in tliq extreme ; scarcely a word escaped their lips , but they looked on iu spirit less silence : whiie those of their order who have not yet been made to " suck the hammer" displayed as much devilism ; turned up the lip of scorn ; uttered viperous words ; affected as much contempt , as if the high and palmy < lays of " volunteer armed association" and " VEOiiANRYisM . " had not for ever fled ! The spirit which has always
actuated their order ( even to their ruin I ) was there manifest . Thero it was : tamed , it is true . Thure it was : teeth down , and unable to bite . But there it was I and Gad help the poor Chartists should " glorious prosperity " ever come again before the working men acquire political power ! "Tho snake is only scotched : not killed" ! Arrived at the place of meotir . gy a scone presented itself which •' biffibs description . The immense erection ; boxes , pit , gallery , ring and all ; was crowded almost past en-Ulirance / Tlio front boxes reserved for females ; were filled . Scored had to go away disappdinted . Others determined to hear the words of truth from the Iip 3 of tho apostle of liberty , submit ted to all the crowdings and crushinga of ah over-lull gallery
The Bids-boxes were literally cratninetl . riot anothor soul couid be Crushed into tho living masSi Such a . sight was never witnessed in tho town of Huddersfiiild before : and . Huddcrsfield has long been known as the most public-spirited and foremost town in tho kingdom . It has always been up to the mark always taken the load in every useful and patriotic agnation . Hundreds upon hundreds of persons cpuld npt obtain admission . Even the several - . bands of musicianp , who had bo generously given their services , vrere forced to roturn homeward , disappointed at not having the opportunity to hear the maa th « jy so highly prized . Room for them , when they arrived at tbo doors of the pavilion , was but of the question . For some time after the arrival of Mr . O'Connor in
the pavilion , so loud were the importunities of the outsiders to be admitted , that business could not be commenced : kit when order was at length restored , Idr ; James Shaw , of Marsh , a mast r clbth-dresser , was called to the chair ; and ho briefly introduced tho lecturer .. . to the meeting . Mv . O-Con . vob ' s rising was the signal for a burst of huzzaing and clapping of hands from all assembled , both male and female , which lasted several minutes . SileHce at last prevailed ; andthe lecturer proceeded to review the past efforts ^ and present poution of Chartists and Chartism . He alluded to his first meeting with the men of Hudderafield , upwards ^> f Beven years ago ;
reminded them of his profession and promises then ; compared his performances with his prbaises ; and asked his auditory to consider themselves a jury to determine upon his consistency and generalship . He begged them to call to mind the fact that when he first came among tiie English working people , he found them Split up into sections ; one portion of them working themselves to death to procure the passing or repeal of one law , and another portion of them working in a similar manner to procure the passing or repeat of another law ; that their efforts were then comparatively unfelt , because of the want of unity of action ; that he had gone amongst them from one end of the land to the other , with

never equalled—actuating all j principle alone finding ; favour in their eyes ; and become so power / r fulfrom their united exeriions that they , were tha only party in the state whose assistance and aid were sought for , by those who wished to : aggrandiz 3 cawtal and mammon at the expense of industry ; but whose effarfcs were powerless , unless backed by the popular voice . An undeniable proof of the strength of the people ' s union , and the firm determination that existed : amonget them to establish the reign of principle over that of men , was given in the fact , that the desertion of leaders produced no division , nor even confusion in theic ranks If even the mosst cherished showed signs of tamper ing with the enemy ; if he even went oyer , rieok and
crop , he was suffered t » depart alone ! His falleu condition might inspire pity and sorrow ; but his desertion only led to . " renewed exertions on the part of the whole , and still greater . independence of tha trammels of leacers and leadership . Np leader , nor the whole of them combined , could now market the popular ' " exertions , / The leader might obtain his price ; but the people : would , not ratify or even ceunfcenancd the bargain . And wag not this something to be proud of ? -: Waa'it ' n ' o ' iBon « salation to himself , to be . able to say that he had done a man ' s work in producing such a healthy state of feeling ; amongst those who had always hitherto been the prey and sport of contending factions ; and whose disunion and sectional differences had been
the pap to sectional arid needy leader ' s 1 . He did feel proud : and he felt the more so , at knowing tbafc if he , himself , were to attempt to turn , either to the right or tp the left , from the course he had chalked out in their preeenne seven years ago , he would be unceremoniously dismissed-from their " service * and despised , and deedrredHy ; contemned , This healthy state of public feeling , however , bad not been produced without effort , nor without oppositioh : and the most deadly foes he had to encounter in hia progress to establish right--. and liberty were thosfi who were known to the assembled thousands before him as the Aristocracy of Lapour . For seven years long had he met these sliiay snakes . ; sometimes concealed in the grass , waiting an opportunity to strike ; and
sometimes coiled around him with '• fraternal" embrace , hissing faint praises in his : ear to beguile and betray . Their efforts , however , he had JiUherto sucoessfulxy frustrated . > One by one had they shewn themselves in their true colours at last ; and theit rage and malice against him as an individual , were exhibited in exact proportion as his efforts tended to produce independence of thought , and freedom in action amongst the Chartist ranks , and thus rendered it impossible for the neady to live upon '' .-. 6 ecu . Qnal differences , or personal attachments . Look , too , at the efforts ' - ' of the cursed and detestable Malthusian crew , to dislodge him froin the people ' s Tanks .-: ' Any why ? Because he sought to havo Labour enfranchised , and thus ena-Hled
to protect its own interestg . Of all the enemies we have had , or have to contend against , MaUhustan . ism is the . icost subtle and deadly ; It . seeks , by a pretended sympathy wi'h tho wrongs and enduringa of the labouring classes , and by an off-cted '' identity of political interests , to obtain the guidance of the popular will : and this : first object oboe obtained , then they are enabled to seat Capital firmly on his throne over prostrated Labour . This is the real object of Malthusiani 3 m , abd to cbtainthW means of accompliahing it , no effort had been spared . Thi 3 is the reason of the many " new moves" and new " new-moves , " that have been started to " geerid Of Feargus , and his mad followers . " " Feargus was to be got rid of , " because he spoiled the game of
the Milthiisian crevv ; because he denuded them of their hor / owed plumes ; because he invariably exposed their hollow sophistries and horrible projects to his attentive listeners . - For this he was denounced ; for this he was plotted against j for this he was reviled and abused ; But they had not yet "got rid pf Feargus" ! and , pleaso God ^ they never should , till Malfhusianism i'self was got rid of nfiver again to offond tho sight or sense of man t He had baen , hitherto , its , unoompromisiug enemy ; he had never shunned , but sought , the battle with it : and he would an enemy continue , and battle to it give , unto tho end . Whatever face the " old friend ' misrht assume ; whether that of "Corn-Law-RspDaV : '' Free-Trade ;"" support
the-Whig 8-in-preference-to-the-Tories ; " tho "Ballotj " ' * monuments for the Scotch martyrs "; ¦ extended suffrage "; " educational suffrage "; " household suffrage "; lodger suffrage "; or " complete , suffrage "; whatever mask Malthusianisra might put on ; and it had successiyely put on all and every one of thosa enumerated ; whatever dres 3 it might wear , there he was to meet it ; to denude it of its veiling ; to expose the cloven foot ; to hold it up to public scorn in . all its hideous deformity--of appearance and object . He was not to be amused by professions , even though those should bo '" complete , " from men whom ho knev ? only wished to steal a march upon him to establish the domini ncy of principles utterly opposed to the interests of xabopr . Whatever they misiht
prelend i he knew theib . object : knowing that object , and knowing that the success of . ' that ptrty would be the " complete" enslavement of tho labourer ; the " complete" chaining ef his ehergvc 3 find life itself to the desolating and '" rampant ; car of capital ; knowing all . th'sj would he not be a traitor to the prinoiples he ¦ -cherished ., to the causa he espoused , to the party whose interoetslaVdnearest hi 3 lieart , did he nat meettlio '' oomplcts '' Immbues , in frqntjaud defeat their object , however wily . contrived or schemirigly laid ? For full two hours did Mr . O'Connor delight his nnaiBrous auditory by appeals to their reason ; Ho subrai ( t 9 d himself audt : his actions to their discriininauns : ' I ' udEnjenti ¦ ' ¦• Ho
showed the triumphant progress of Chartist princi ples ^ entered into the qaestion . of their appHcation to the benefit sing of the people ' s conditidn ; and proved , demonstratively , thatithewelfareot ' tho body politic can only be consulted and promoted by iiTiibling the people to make tb © tflost of their own raw materials—the land and the minerals , tie ably exposed the present insane application of . machinery to she producing of almost unbounded wealth oh the one hand , and the most horriblo poverty and misery on the other . He al 30 exposed to the ridicule of the assembly the fbolishand wicked e'ffotts of tho " free-traders" to over-awe the
Government by-threats of physical force when they are utterly unable to meet in public , for fear of instant defeat . Alluding to the return of the Huddersn ' eld anti-Gorn Law Conference ' Depuiation , he sarr castically asked , " where were they" 1 "Why were they not there to give an account of their mission" ! They had gone to London , and there pretended to have been sent . by the people of Husidevsfield to procure cheap food , high wages , and plenty xo do . They bad returned ; why were they not at this meeting , amongst the people , to tell the people how they had sped ? Why was hot Hr . Robinson there ? TThis was one of the deoufcies :

" Had he upheld the wages of his workman V " Had he made common cause with them ' -i He should have ; liked also to ask him ' , " Wiiat has become of the immense heaps of wealth produced by labour , in a oircuit embracing Huddersfield and " some five miles round it" ?; "If ihe people are so poor as to needyou , Vlr Robinson , to go to London to procure fur them oheap food , high wages , and PtENrr to do , in 'he nameof allthat , is eacred , WHO HAS GOT .

Instead of being present at ihav meeting , they might , at that very- nioment . be found shut up in the pantry at ifld Ros . e and Crown Inn , conspiring asjaiust that people whoso welfare they so laudably afftcted to have at heart . Rather strange that the " representative" should ekulk into "holes and cornerSj" instead of ineeting the constituent body face to face , and there receive hia meed of praise . : And stranger etill that the Mal hustaa crewi who had stickled so strenuously for ihe 'Ne . w Poor Law to if reduce the worku . g people i 6 _ liye on a coarsei * food , " should how . be so- determined to

K 0 U 5 E OF COMMONS— Tuesday , July 19 . ThcHous-i was occupied the principal . part-of the evening with the Poor Law Amendment Bill . Sir James Graham announced that at tha lafo pi-riod winch the st&siun had now reached , it was the intention of Government to press only the early clauses ( which are those relating to tho continuance an ; p-nvors of the Commission ) , together with som » miscfcJlaueouj provisions , relating principally to casual p ; jor and lunatics , and to tho qualifications andpoweis ofKuardians . In tho next session , the Government , he paid , would introduce a fresh bill , embodyixig the clause ? now to be dropped . Consirienno ihi-Valtt-rrd .

As a re ^ idtni . iu an auricul-; urjl d : s : rict , he knew from personal expei'ltuce
that tiie m-denr labour test was productive of . the very worst ( ffects .

He knew instances in which Boards ot Guardians violated the law by givitg out-door reiief , under tho guiso cf loans which they never expected to be repaid , and it was a sho . king state of things to drive humane men to violate an Act of Parliament . He called on the House to a'iopt his proposition before a coining wii ); fT laid i : ^ iron n . rasp on the poor . On a division the clause was rejected by a majority of SO against 55 .
THE CHARTISTS . On reading the order of tbe day for going into columnt .- < j o' supply . Mr . T . Bu . ncombe ro = e , pursuant to notice , to move for a copy ot the depositions taken on thy trials uf John Ma ^ on , a Chartist lacturer , aud seven wovk-Hig men , at the late quarter sessions for the county or Stsffcrd , together with copies of the indictments , xhe uott'S of ihe chairman taken at the trial , and the nanie < cf t ; : o manistrates aud j iry before whom they
were ' tried and convicted . The Hon . Member said that I-e r ^ reued extremely that it became his duty to in erpose between the Right Hon . Baroaet and that duty which he kntw gave the Houso so much plpaf-ure , hs mt-aj't tho duty of voting away the people ' s money . ( Cheers and laughier . ) But this grievaui-e was so urgent , tiie precedent was so dan-> : i-rous , that he had no alternative but to call the attentivu of the house to the facts stated in tho petition which he ha < i yesterday presented from : S ; affjrd relaticji to this subj ct .
i Lor < i S . i > -D 0 iV wun ' . d put it to the Hon . Gentleman j whether it was qait ^ fair to iutorpose on this occaj sion , when thf-rc was no ono present who was con-, versaut with iho subject . He suggested a delay of a day or two , in order that time might be given to I communicate with the magistrates . That would bo 1 more . convenient , and perhaps fairer . i Mr . T . Dukcombe thoiT ^ hc it was rather extraor-¦ dinary that the Noble Lord should iiitsrrupt him i afser ihe not : cc which had been on tho pa per a whole j Cay . Fairness ought to bu fhown , noi to the ' chair-I man of the quarter session ^; aloue , but , to the eight I individuals who were now in Stafford gaol , having j been , as he contended , iliegilly committed . If ho-- tody in too Houjskiieiv abou ; ths circnajsJaoaes , ha ; v . ouid let them know . His oViect was ' that tho House
; auJ ihecouutry should know what the working ciasses I were siiff- ; rin » for ' th- ^ ir opinions . If these ¦ individvah bad been tried at the assizes , or before any . tribunal but tbecourr of quarter sessions , they would j have been honorirab ' . y acquitted by the jury . How : ever , he was in the h ^ nds of the House , and if ihe J Right Hon . Baronet would say , that on Friday or : sorno e ^ rly day he should hsvo an opportunity ot \ brinting the case forward , he should be ' content .. to ' waive the ri «; ht he l > ad to bring on a--question of ! grievance on reading Che order ior going into supply . I He said that this was ion unjust convictiou , aud live i ri « ht of the Huuse of Co mmons of holding inquest of j public grievai ; ces would be at an end if these men ; were to be tried and convicted , as they had been , j without notice being taken . of it .
Sir J . Graham said , that i t was clearly impossible thst the committee of supply oould close that night , and he thought that any other eupply-day would , to the Hon . Gentleman ' s sense of justice , be much more advantageous for bringing forward this Bubject ; becanso , by that Jime , the chain «» . and magistrates might be communicated with , ^ and both sides of tho ease be fairly presented to u' 0 House . He was not aware of the circumstances liyUil last night ; when the Hon . Gentleman gave notice . of his motion
he was not aware that these parties hay even been apprehended . There were no papers in his office that threw any light on the matter . It wotr » d , therefore , be utterly impossible for him to controvert any of the facts which the Hon . Gentleman migbv slate Any one who read the petition would see howypraye were the charges it made ; there were changes against the constable , against the magistrates , s ^ nd the chairman of the quarter sessions , who mis accused of violating " his oath , and the jury .. of . perjury . " More grave subject of consideration could scarcely be brought forward , and , as he had already observed , he was not now in a situation to enter * ponit .

He thed readan ex ract from a newspaper which was copied : froai BlackwooaVs Magazine , setting forth that if the middle classes were induced to throw theinselyes into the arms of the Chartists it would ruin the landed aristocracy .

Mr ^ Peter Hoey arose for the purpose answering Mr . Gordon . He said that Mr . Gordon was in favour of giving every man a vote ; but if he refused to agree to the other points of the Charter ^ which was necessary to give effect to that vote , it was like putting a horse into a field of clover , and placing a muzzle on him that he inight not be able to eat : the horse might as well : be turned to graze on a causeway . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . DaviI ) tsiiAW , of Nuneaton , made a neat and pointed Bpeech , in which he showed up the inconsistency of the middle classes , and wished that some mode ; could be devised to remady the evils that existed . ¦• -: .

Mr- Robert Mahon supported the amendment , and s- ; owed that tbo middle classes did not understand their own position , It was the intereat of the shopkeepers to ¦ ¦ assist the working men to secure good wages , a ? their profits would be ihtireby increased ^ whilst it was the interest of manufaeiuriirs to reduce wages ; they ought , therefore , to look for the support of the shopkeepers , but could not expect that of the manufacturer ^ . Ho would therefore appeal to those having a similar interest with . thetnselvos , to join their ranks , and by giving their cordial co-operation , put an end to the present agitation . Mr .

" That in the opinion of this meeting the opening of tho ports for 1 the free importation of corn would ba productive of immodiato relief ; but , that the only permanent security for the people against the crying evils' inflicted by unjust legislation is to be obtained from a Houso Gf Common ? representinj * tho ¦ whole people , and elected upon tke principles laid d- ' )> vn in tho coeument called the People ' s Charter ., and adopted by the conference of the middle and working classes , held in Birmingham , in the month of April last . " Mr . Cash seconded the resolution .
Mr . Peter Hoey then addressed tho meeting , and was loudly cheered . He proceeded at great length to shew ' that the . free importation of corn would not produce the benefit which the resolution asserted . ' . He objected to the latter part of tho resolution which referred to tho Birmingham Conference , and said it was got up for the purpose of propiirg up tbo Corn Law Repealers . : He-a'W pointed out ( lie immense quantity of land which was uncultivated , as a mriahs of supplying : labour and food to the starving people , and Bald that the Charter atone could remedy thcexisting misery The rniii which was falling for upwards of an hour , now increased eo much as to conipel the meeting to acj-ourn to the County Hall , and after the confusion had . ceased which was caused by the rufh to obtain good places , ' .
Mr . Stdbdabt artiso , aiid was received with loud cheers . Ho said he intended to kovo that the latter part of the resolution , referring to the iiirniinghahi Cojifcwr . ee , . -b ' j erased .

Who had authorised the parties pn . sent , to take the course they were then pursuing ? He-had not authonVed thc-iji and lie - was determined that anything brougl . t 'io ' rward by theaci-which was not in strict accordance
with Chartist principles , " should : meet with his disapproval , The workiiui nii-n of England hiid been too . often mado the dupes of . designing pariais , and lust tho last sentence contained in tho resolution , might be construed into an approval of tho Complete Suffrages movement , he was resolved to tako tho sense of the meeting on . it , lost it should go forth to tho world that tho men of Coventry were in favour of the Complete Si-fFriige movement . Ho advised the working men to s'and firmly by their own organisation—the 'National Charter . Association , and never again to place power in the hands of the middle classes'to . deceive them . Mr . Stoddart concluded by movinu : —
" Tiiat the words referring to tho Birmingham Conference bo erased , " And resumed his seat amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering . Mr . Tiioii . ts Williams seconded the motion . Rov ; J . Gordon , Unitarian Minister , arose to address the meeting , when a . shout for "White " wan raised from all parts of the meotiug , upon vrh ch Mr . Gordon gave vyay . Mr .

Ho said he teh proud of the opportunity thus afrn-dtd him of meeting iha middlc-classeH , and he would takd earo that before they left that meeting they should know what the
working men meant . ( Loud cheers ) Ht was ivjoiced at the opportunity . which was afforded him 01 explaining his views for ¦ •¦¦ himself without being feul jc ' ct to the di-- honest colouring -of a Whig or ' Tory iie '« v :-papf-r . Tho working in ' eu of Kuuiaud haJ assisted tho middle classes to -get tho Reform Bill .

Am . eudm . eiw Act ? ( Cheers . ) Had they not filled tho land withpolico spies aud bludgeon men i . ' . And now , he vouid ask -those gentlemen who wanted to repeal the Corn Laws , hew was it that they who were talking of giving iho poor man a big ioafsup- ^ ported-the . Now-I ' oor Law , which allotted a pauper fivo ORiicep . of bread for a rocal ? ( Loud and continued cheering ) .. If they really wanted tho Charter why not join with the ^ working men to obtain , it \ Why not , join tho "' National Charter Association ? Why talk ' about' Complete SufiVage ? . The People'a Charter was Ccntp ' . eta 'Suffra ^ fe , but ' Complete Saffrago ' was not the Charter . At the titne that O ' . Co ' nnell was returned ior tlie county- of Ciare , he
avowea himself a RadicalRo former , and was congratulated by My . Cobbatt on the occasion , but atierwgrdsai- a meeting in Dublin , he declared hmseit a Cofirttuutional Uetorra ^ r ; and Cobbett remarked very justly , that Mr . O'Connell was-shifting his ground , and -aia . de use -of the following words : — " .-Ra-iical Reform is 'Constitutional Reform , but Constitutional ' - . Rttfotm . is ' not Radical l \ cform . A mar < j is a horsa but a hqrso isnot a maro " --- ( laughter ) —go it was with Couipietj Siiffrage . They might be deceived by that term ; but there was ho means of deceiving them whilst they abided by the Charter , Ho then went on at great length , to shew the meeting the manner in which the vaiioas political tricksters ; took up principlea which were popular as a means of > gaining their own selfish purposes , and laid them do wn whenever it Buited them . He shewed up the object which the middle classes
had . in' view , namely , the extension of trade , and said that the people of Manchester had the cotton trade ^ extended to such a degree , that they were scarcely able to hvey and he would appeal to them * selves and ask whether the increase of the ribband trad * had bettered tfaeir condition ? Had they DOt been reduced 4 ime atW time until they were broneht to . eKtreme poverty 1 ( Yee , that ' s right . ) Mr . VVhite Moceeded to expose the fallacy of the proposuions . brought forward by the "Free Trade " advocates , and remarked that the ribbonds woven m ^ toventrr went to debfirate the heads of idlers , whilst their own wives yrcre in rags . The cloth woven at Leeds was sent to < lotheforeigners , whilst the men who made it were almost na feed .
