J AH the avenues to the court were much crowded tins morning , in consequence of its having been EBderstood that the Coartists were to appear to roave tit judgment of the Court . The following persons answered to their names : —

      Peargus O'Coaaor , Richard Otley , George Julian HineT , William HiH , John Arran , William Aitts , Saady Challenger , Samuel P&rkes , Thomas Railtan , William Woodruff ; the above were convisted on the fifth connt only .

      and perfect venue where the Court should appear by the indictment to have had jUrisdiction over the offence , bow , he apprehended it was perfectly clear that these words , "for want of proper or f j u Tenae » " implied Fomething where a venue had been laid in tbe indictment , but either improperly or imperfectly , but did not apply to a case like the present , where there was no venae at all . Lord Denjian . —It is an objection yet to be considered undoubtedly . Mr . Dosdas would call their Lordships attention w me case of Toe Kiug v . Hart , " in 6 Carr and fayne , 133 . Although that was before verdict , jet H wouid nevertheless apply to this case . That was an indiciment for stealing a bill of exchange . The indictment ^

      had been found by a London grand jury ln the margia were the words , " London to wi ; . * In the ind : c : ment the prL-oner was described as late of London , but the place where the bill was alleged to have been stolen was stated to be in the parish of St . AJaryJebone , without stating that the offence was committed in London . Mr . Justice Littkdale » nd Mr . Justice Bosanqnet held that was bad , and not aided by the 7 th of GeoTge IV ., 8 o that the statute only aided tbe want or' a proper and perfect venue . He apprehended that though that was before v-rd : ct it still showed that there was nothing on the face of the indictment to give the Court jurisdiction over the off ? nce , and he submitted that the absence of tbe venue vitiated that count of the indictment . If their Lordships would look to the count itself , he apprehended it would appear fair

      upon a construction of the matter , that there was no offence charged on the face of the indictment ; it really amounted only to this—it charged an attempt to persuade persons to do what they might lawfully do ; it won ! d , he apprehended , be no offence at-all . It charged that the defendants unlawfully endeavoured to incite her Majesty ' s subjects to disaffection and hatred of her laws , and unlawfully endtavoared to persuade her subjects to nnite and agree to leave their employment , and produce a cessation of labour , with intent to bring about and produce a change in the laws and constitution of the realm . Now , their Lordships wonld see in the first place there was no conspiracy charged ; it was an endeavour to persuade persons who were the lawful sabirets of the Q , < icen to agree to leave their several employments and produce a cessation of labour . No doubt that was to apoly to the case of workmen .

      Lord Dkkmas—We think that is also aa objection Mr . Dcndas said then , that he had an objection to the fourth count . He submitted that the four ; h count was defective also , by reason of having no venue laid in the early part of it . The Court would see what the nature of the count was ; it charged that several persons had tumultuously assembled together , who , by threats and intimidations to divers others , being peaceable subjects , forced them to leave their occupations and employments , meaning that they bad been tumultuonsly rising , and th . it the workmen were forced to leave their employments . He took that to hi the material fact in this count , because the charge was that tbe defendants did unlawtni ' y aid , abet , assist , and encourage the said evil-disposed persons to continue and persist in the unlawful meetings : and it was not stated

      where these unlawful meetings were held , nor , though it was a material fact necessary to be found , was ij laid with any venue as it ought to hav « been by the rules of pleading , and he submitted that it was not cured by the statute to which he had referred , because it did not appear that the fact , which was a material fact , to be tried and found by the jury was a fact wi . ich was tryable within the jurisdic'iou of the court that tried it . He did not know whether he need refer the Court to authorities to prove that every material fact in issue and to b « tried must be laid with time and place . Justice Buller had laid down the rule in u The King v . Holland . " 5 Term Reports , 620 ; but all the authorities , both ancient and modern , concurred in laying it down that when there is a material fact to be tried by the jury it must be laid with time and place , or else the count was defective on the face of it . Where

      was tbe venne laid here ] There was a time laid , but no place . It was laid on the 1 st of August , and on divers other days b j tween that day and the 1 st of October , and at divers places , but never saying where those places were . They might be any where in the world ; they were not laid as being within the connty of Lancaster , but at certain times and certain places ; no man could say where . There were certain tumultuous risings , and afterwards it suited that these persons did , &c , and then a venue was laid very imperfectly ; it stated that on divers other days , between that day and the 1 st of October , in the parish aforesaid , and county aforesaid . After verdict perhaps that would do , but he submitted that , in the early par t of the indictment , the connt wanting the venue was defective in a material fact necessary to be tried by the jury , and without that there was no offence charged a ^ aicsc the defendants , because it was aiding and abetting such persons in their said acts .

      Lord Denman—Supposing the count had simply stated , that the defendants had aided and abetted , a : a time and ) lace , certain perrons who were before engaged in doing Bame unlawful act in doing it , then the act of the defendants would appear to be at that place—was it not the same ! Mr . DrsDAS submitted there were certain things that ought to be done in an indictment . The facts ought to have been laid with a proper venue to be tried by a jury of Lancashire . There must be time and place laid as venue to that effect . That was the objection , he submitted , which was on the face of the fourth count . His learned friends , who appeared for other individuals , -would address the Court on the same point . Perhaps he ought to have rtated , as to the fifth count , the act of ifce 6 th Geo . IV ., c . 1 ' 29 , sec . 54 , which related to workmen meeting to settle wages . Lord L > £ : rjiAJ ? sajd it woald be better to hear all

      parties upon the application . Mr . Serjeant Mtrpht appeared on behalf of John Durham , Jonathan Bairstow , and Thomas Kail ton . He understood the rule was granted as to the fifth count , ar . d he should , therefore , on the fourth connt , first observe that there was a material distinction between ihis case and that of conspiracy Tnis count did not charge conspiracy , it waa a common statement of aiding and abetting . He was aware , with regard to conspiracy , that it had been held that the offence was complete with regard to conspiracy when the conspiracy itself was charged , and therefore the observation his Lordship had made certainly would have been completely conclusive had this been a charge of conspiracy ; but

      this was a mere charge of aiding and abetting . They could not be aiding and abetting , nnlesfi it waa aiding and abetting in some offence charged npon the ir . dictmtnf , and the charge of that offence must not be taken with regard to those who were aiders and abettors , to be mere inducement , it most be taken that there was some substantive offencecharged which tbe defendants were in connexion and within the jurisdiction of the Court , if they were charged with aiding and abetting in that offence . What waa the charge made in this case ? That these persons were aiding and abetting several other persons who had assembled tumultuonsly together , and by threats and intimidations used towards other persons , forced them to leave their occupations and

      employments . Supposing it [ appeared on the face or" the indictment that in addition to the mere statement , that these were peaceable subjects of the realm , it had gone on to state that these persons were residing in the kingdom of Scotland , —he would ask whether their Lordships would not say that the mere aiding and abetting them must be a constructive presence at the * iding and abetting ; it must be , . therefore ehown , with regard to the offence , that it had taken place within the jurisdiction of the Court ; and if that were eo , there was aothiDg pd toe face of the indictment to point out that this offence might not have taken place out of the jurisdiction where this indictment was preferred , because the only allegation wa « , that they were peaceable subjects , whom

      they were endeavour ing to prevent going on with , rkeir trades , and attempted to intimidate with threats aari violence ; there was nothing to show tbat tbeBe surjscts might not have been in Ireland and Scotiand , where this Court could not have had any juris- i d : c-ioQ . Their Lordships would recollect that in ordinary cases , where there was a charge of aiding and abetting , in order to give tha-t certainty , and not leave it to inference or implication , there waa always an express allegation that thty were , then ' and there aiding and abetting . There was nothing to show but that the tumultuous outbreaks might have taken place in Scotland , and the party might have been in England . He might clearly have been aiding and abetting , though not then and there present when tbe ombreak took plaoe ; bat it

      was necessary that that Bhonld be alleged on tbe face of the indictment . Supposing the offence charged had been a felony , and that a murder bad been committed by certain persons without an aile-. gation of venue , and supposing afterwards it wa 9 \ stated that in the pxrisb a / oreeaid , in the county i aforesaid , John Jones did aid and abet tbe person j who had committed the murder , he would ask ; whether their Lordships would say with regard i to that feloniouB charge whether it would i be Bufiicieat , or whether any verdict could aid j that which was a material statement of the murder , having been" committed ? If the murder was not : committed within the jurisdiction , tbe aiding and abetting would make him amenable to the jurisdic-, tion . The Learned Counsel , for these reasons , urged j that the fourth count was bad

      . Mr . Bodkik , for Doyle atd Parkes , and Mr . j ATHEfiTOftfor Fen ton , Leach , Hamey , and Arthur , ; adopted the same liae of argument on behalf of their )

      caems . Lord Denkas asked if any other defendant wwhed to move in arrest of judgment ! Mr . Dtjsdas believed not . Lofd Dekuas then said—We are of opinion that ail ihese ' ot jtttions ought to be considered , and there will , therefore , be a rule . Will it not be convenient to acpoint sometime now | when the rule may besrgnf d ? Tta ATicasET- General &aid , ftbat any day that adViii be cuuVeuieia to the Court , ths Crown would beieddv .

      It was ultimately arranged that tbe argument should be heaTd on the second day of next term . The Attorney-Gkmeral saia , that one of the defendants was in custody . On the part of the Crown there was no wish that he should remain in custody , but that he should be discharged upon his own recognizance . The defendants then all entered into their own recognizances to appear for judgment when called upon , and left the court . Thomas Cooper and John Richards , who had been con ^ icied at biaSord of conspiracy , then came forward .

      The ATroRNEY-General prayed the judgment of the Court upon th ^ e defendants . The At'ornej-General , the Solicitor-General , Mr , Serjeant Talfourd , Mr . Richard ? , Mr . Godson , and Mr . Alexander , appeared on behalf of the prosecution . Their Lordships read over tbe no'es of Mr . Justice Er < kine , before whom the defendants were tried . This occupied the Court from half past eleven o ' clock tili the Court broke up , at five o ' clock .

      Thus far hare we triumphed over our enemies ! and thus far has the law triumphed over injustice We are just beginning to learn die use of the law ; and henceforth our party may rest assured that no point shall be lost of which we can avail ourselves . I shall now be more amongst you , as in truth I have been sadly hampered since August last . I do indeed rejoice ( hat the poor fellows found guilty upon the Fourth Count , are once more restored to their families , and that they are not again likely to be troubled about this " storm in a teapot "

      I shall address the good men of Manchester on Saturday next , the 6 ' th inst ., the very next Saturday , either in Capenters' Hall or the Hall of Science , whichever the managers can procure , and shall remain to enrol new members after my address , and thus commence the good work of Re-Organization . Hurrah for our side . Poor Fenton who was g iven up by his bail , and who was brought to judgment in custody from Kirkdale , has also been liberated : so that our triumph is complete ! Now is there no use in law ? Yours faithfully , Feargus O'Connor . P . S . I am attending the proceedings in Cooper and Richard ' s case , which is now going on . F . O'C . Thursday afternoon .

      TO THE PEOPLE . Mr drab Friends , —This morning has shewn me tbe value of lawyer gab , when rightly used . Every evil has Borne good in it ; and so has lawyer gab . We mustered at half-past ten in Westminster Hall ; and a goodly gang of "jolly conspirators " were we . There were some defaulters among the " wide mouthed ones , " as ueual . Your " Captain Bobadils'' are always minus , if but the suspicion of consequences flits across the pathway of their "bouncing . " There were one or two , t believe , who were destitute of the mean * of travelling to London , and

      who consequently could not come ; and I know that some of those who did come , have made sacrifices of the most fearful personal character to do so . Some of them , whom the people did not assist as they ought to have done , pawned almost everything they had , to get here , sooner than eully the fair flag of Chartism by skulking—I need not say that thesa were not open-mouthed men The men most determined in fighting a battle through are always they who are most wary in pitching upon their ground However , with few exceptions , there the conppiratore were , and a finer looking . set of fellows 1 have seldom seen .

      After the preliminaries , caliiug over names , &c , the lawyers on our side began to state their objections—legal , technical objections—to the indictment under which we were convicted . Dundas opened the ball , Sergeant Murphy followed him , and was sustained by Messrs . Bodkin and Athorton . It is needless to annoy ycu with the particulars of their technical speeches , which , aa plain , unsophisticated men , some of you would but imperfectly understand ; suffice it that they made the Government Attornies look very much like

      fools . They stated several grounds of objection which they contended must be fatal to the indictment and the verdict , both a& to the fifth count and the fourth . The Whig Lord Chief Justice Denman helped them to another stunning objection , which they had apparently overlooked , and which seemed considerably to flabbergast the Attorney-General . The Court held that all the objections taken were feasible and deserving of attention , and granted a a rule to show cause why judgment should not be arrested , both as to the fifth count and tbe fourth

      connt , of the indictment ; and appointed the second day of next term , ( which will , I believe , bo about the 26 . b of May ) , for the hearing of the argument . As it would have involved serious expences to all the defendants to have been obliged to come up to London again , whether wanted for judgment or not , the Attorney-General , with that handsomeness of manner which characterised hi 9 whole demeanour at Lancaster , stated at once that he would not require the personal attendance of the

      defendants , during tbe argument . The Attorney-General then applied to the Court to have poor Fenton , who was the only one brought up in custody , released and put in the same position as the other defendants . This the Court acceded to , and bound him and all the others in their recognizances of £ 100 to appear for sentence when called on ; bo that the whole matter stands thus : —On the 26 ; h of May we have the grand fight of lawyers , as to whether the two counts of the indictment , under which lerdict

      has gone against the whole of the defendant ? , be , or be not , bad in law . If the counsel who may be retained for the defence , succeed in proving that they are , then the whole of the foregone proceedings , trial and conviction , are so much waste paper , and the Government is foiled and beaten with its own infernal machine , —the monster indictment will have cut its own throat . If they fail to substantiate their objections , and judgment is to be , after all , prononnced , the Government , incensed and infuriated with the trouble we have given them , will press hard for the heaviest punishment they can get inflicted . Yon see , therefore , the necessity—the absolate necessity—of going through this battle well-There are but two or three weeks before the

      argument J THE » EST AND ABLEST IAWYERS OF THE REALM must be had ; for the Government will put forth their whole strength . The fight will be a sharp one , and we must win it . We can only win by dint of lawyer-gab , and we can only get that for money ; the funds therefore must be seen to ; not an hour must be lost ; all bands must " to the pumps" and work like dragons . I know it is hard to be thus ever dragging at you for money , money , money ; I hate the necessity which calls for it ; but I can ' t help it ; tbe necessity is there ; it does call , and it

      must be answered . You know that if my advioe to you had not been over-balanced by that of those who now skulk from the coasequences of their own 14 bravery , " the necessity would never have existed ; the trap would have been avoided . But ray advioe was not taken ; the trap was gone into ; your bravest and best men are " in for it , " and you must see them through . The Bcorn of all honest man , and the curse of all patriots would blast your names for ever if you should now be base enough to see this cause lost for lack of means to

      carry on the war . You responded well to my last call npon you . You have done ' nobly . You must go on . The able Counsel employed to * day have done their work . They have placed you in a position of all but certain triumph , if you don ' t yourselves fail to provide the means of going on . I do hope and trust that this will be the last time that you will be called on to make Buch exertion . We must have no more of these freaks—Cliartism cannot afford it , Thanks to yoHr spirit and tins indomitable energy of Mr . O'Connor and others , out of this evil much

      that you at last see who would have led you from the ditch , instead of leading you into it , and having yon there . It i& not ungratifying to me to receive , as I do , your thanks and votes of confidence , in bundles , from all part of the kiDgdom ; but it will be much more gratifying to see you now make a mighty effort to repair nobly the mischief that baa been done . I ask no thanks ; but

      I do a&k you to learn wisdom from experience , and to gather courage from exigency . I do ask you to fight this battle through like men , and to take care that you are never made fools of again . I am as I have ever been . Your faithful friend and servant , W « .

      ( From our London Correspondent . ) I write to inform you that at this moment , halfpast five o ' clock , Cooper's case is adjourned until to-morrow . You are already aware , from another source , that the " conspirators" are to appear next term , or when called upon , to receive judgment , The day has been one of great interest to the Chartist public ; the paltry show of the funeral procession being entirely lost sight of in the superior attractions of the Court of Queen ' s Bench . Nature sympathised not with the mourning groups ; the sun shone out resplendent .

      A large meeting was held this afternoon , on Kennington Common , to take into consideration the disgraceful conduct of a knot of the League , and this evening we shall Rive the Repealers the most notable defeat they have yet experienced , and prove to honest Duncombe , that though a faction may denounce him , the people will support him . From the turn which the proceedings have taken , it will not be necessary for us to publish the later

      Editions of the Star announced last week . If we receive the Report of the Proceedings in Court today , respecting Cooper and Richauds ' s case , by to-morrow morning ' s Pont , we ahall give them in an Edition to be ready about noon ; and shall be able to supply orders that same evening to most towns in Yorkshire and Lancashire . More distant places will not reoeive their papers till Sunday Morning .

      George Williams , of Glasgow , writes to say that Dr . Grekr , ofGlatgow , " is a stern , bold , and consistent pat' iot ; " and that he is astonished that the Dr . is not ropreponted in our columns . " We hardly know what this means . The Doctor , we believe , has some pills to sell ; and we have advertised them for him when he has chosen to " order" us to do so , and-paid for it . What more is wanted ? Caption . — We deem it necessary to caution the public against a person named Thomas Montgomery , who U now , through false and lying pretences ^ levying contributions , and otherwise imposing upon the friends of the poor man , and also upon the poor manhimself He . was examined before the

      Truck Committee of the House of Commons , where he gave evidence that has been contradicted in many essential points . Since then he has represented himself as being employed by Mr , Ferrari d , M . P ., to get up petitions against the Truck System ; owd in that assumed capacity he has contrived to fleece pretty considerably . Poor Dodd , the factory cripple is a sufferer from him , to the extent of £ 11 . We have heard also of his doings at liingley , Ohiham , and Hudderyfield Having had these facts brought under our cognizance , we deem it proper to give this public caution . We have seen letters both jrom Mr . Oastler , of the Queen ' s Prison , and Mb Ferband , addressed to private parties , desiring them

      to be on their guard against him . Mb . Ferhand j saps ' * that he has never received a petition from him ; and that he has no authority from him ( Mr . F J to act as he is doing" The petence , therefore , that he is employed by Mr . Ferrand is a fraud . We have also seen a letter from himself to Mr .

The Portraits . — In the Sheffield parcel from our Correspondent there , this week , was the following note : — " A Subscriber at Copenhagen , Denmark , wishes to know the cost of all the Portraits published with the Northern Star , except the rene-

      godfs . " Now this question is a puzzler . He wishes up to except the " renegades" ! Were we to do so . we fear that we should bring a 'Wwrnet's neat" about our ears . Perhaps the " Subscriber " himself would be the very first to complain , and hold that those we singled out as " renegades " were all" oood men and true ; " and that those we held to be "' good men and trne" were the greatest " renegades" of all ! Seeing then the risks attending such a proceeding , we shall leave the task of " excepting the renegades" to the Subscriber hims-lf ; while we barely inform him that he can have copies of all the small Portrat ' s at Ad . each ; and of the large ones , after sub scri ' iing six weeks for the Star , for Is . each . The Factory " Kikg" and the Factory Bill . —

      With much pleasure we give the following letter from Mr . Oabtler . Wtlh his opinion of the system of" relays" we entirely agree ; and it was because of such agreement that we gave his little Floeter entire , so that the working people might all know what tlie feelings of their " Old King , " respecting the New Bill , were . We were glad , too , that he laid at the right door the " responsibility" of having commenced that system . It was not the " n'tra philanthropists " who either coneocttd or introduced it : it was the BA »_ p Ministry , in spite of all the opposition that the Ten Hours' Men could give . All ihis , however , is now conveniently forgotten ; and we are glad that the *• King" stirred up recollection , and showed the people that it was not their friends who proposed ** relays , " but their enemies . Mr . Oastler's letter is as follows : —

      To the Editor—Dear Sir —Accept my hearty thanks for the insertion of wiy letter on the Factory Bill . I am certain , if the system of " Relays" be perpetuated , increased distress must follow . I am satisfied nova , tbat my " people" will all see my opinion on the sahjeet . God prosper the right—Amen ! Believe me , dear sir , Gratefully and faithfully yours , Richakd Oastler .

      James Bronton , Manchester , must apply the above notice to himself . Cap of Liberty , Brighton . — The letter from this place , signed by the Council affecting Mr .

Joseph Greensmith , Nottingham . —His letter hus also been handed to the same quarter . H . S- desires to know the estimated amount of T > roduoing power in England about the year 1798 We answer with an extract from the Northern Star of July 30 , 1842 . —

      In 1792 we are stated to have had a population of 15 , 000 , 660 . By far the greater proportion of that population was occupied in agricultural pursuits . Manufactures were with them a secondary consideration . They seemed to act according to the dictated of nature : food tirst ; clothing the next . Th « inventions of Wati and ARKWRIGUT were then new . Their introduction into use was but slow ; yet they were being introduced . Tbe population , too , possessed at that time other mechanical and scientific power . According to the Statiscians of the day , about one-foortb of the population were engaged in manual labour . At that time , however , human labourers were men ; not women or children . The producing power of England , at the period we speak of , haa been computed by those most conversant with the subject to have boen : —^ Manual labour 3 , 750 , 009 Mechanical and scientific power equal to ... ... ... 11 , 250 , 000

      Total 15 , 080 , 000 The population vras also 15 , 000 , 000 . Tbns the aggregate productive power and the population in 1792 were atout equal , or as one to one . The condition of the population then was that which it ha 8 never since been . Indeed they experienced a degree of substantial prosperity equal , if net superior , to that of the inhabitants of any other part of the world . Pauperism was comparatively unknown . The poot rates amounted only to £ 2 . , 600 ; and out of them were paid , as now , tbe county rates ; salaries , and law expences . Now , we are told , the poor rates amount to £ 8 , 000 , 000 !! ThiB can be accounted for . The manufssturing system had then attained that point which gave the highest value to manual laboor , compared with tbe price of the necessaries and comforts of life , which it was calculated to afford ; and it bad not then introduced the demoralizing effects which soon afterwards began to emanata from it .

      Such was the amount of producing power in the year 1792 ; and such was the state ot the population . Let us now set how both these matters stand at the present . Manual , or rather human , labour has been increased . The labour of women and even children haa been called into long , unceasing daily action . To such an extent has this been the case that Statiscians now estimate th it one-third of tbe population are engaged in hand Ubour , instead of ooe-fourth , as computed in 1792 . But if the producing power of England bos been increased by adding to her raan-ual labourers the wives and daughters , and the infant boys and girls , of working men , what , O ! what has been the increase in her mechanical and scientific powar ? . '

      In tbe year 1817 , wben tbe population was estimated 1 to be 18 , 000 . , it was found that there had been a ' real increase in our mechanical and scientific power to ! produce wealth equal to that of much more than two | hundred millions of stout , active , well-trained la' bourers ! an increase equal to more than ten times the | then population I an increase equal to more than thirty times tbe manual labour England could then supply for the production of wealth !! In 1817 , then , the producing power of England stood thus : — Manual labour ( one-third of the populfttioa , 18 000 000 ) ... 6 , 000 , 000 i Newly-created scientific power from 1792 to 1817 , understated 200 , tOO , 000 Scientific power in 1792 . 11250 , 000

      Total producing power ... 217 , 250 , 000 ! ! The population at this period , as we have before seen , waa 18 , 000 , 000 . Tbe proportion which the producing power now bore to the population was as twelve and a fraction to one . la 1792 tbe proportion was , as we have before seen , just equal—as one to one . # * The population at present , as appears from the last census , is , in round nums « rs , 27 , 000 , 000 . As the employment of females and children sinco 1817 has not decreased , but , on the contrary , greatly increased , we adopt the last estimate—that one-third of our

      population is employed in band-labour . ( We are now arguing generally , and not with reference to the present " depressed state of trade" as it is called , and consequent want of employment . ) Those most conversant with the question aver that we have now s \ mechanic il and scientific productive power equal to tbe labour of more than six hundred millions of " bands" ! Thin is no random guess . It is the result of deep and searching inquiry and extensive practical knowledge . One of the means to ascertain the amount may be here stated . It will give an idea of the kind of data on which tbe conclusion just named is founded .

      ' Some time ago three of the principal British manufacturers of cotton yarn in different parts of the kingdom made separate estimates of the quantity each workman in their respective establishments produced , compared with the average production of one person on the plan formerly pursued , that ia , with hand-cards and single spinning-wheel . They found , on examination , that they agreed in the conclusion tbat the proportion between the quantity produced by one person with the then machinery , and one man on the former plan , was as one hundred and twenty to one ! Subsequent improvements have raised the proportion to that of more

      than two hundred to one . It is computed tbat there are above 300 . 000 persons employed in cotton-spinning in Great Britain . It would therefore require ( SO 000 000 of workpeople to produc 9 , on the old method and unaided by the late mechanical and chemical inventions and impvovemeata , as much cotton yarn as is now produced by the 300 , 000 ! Now 60 , 000 , 000 is just onetenth of 600 , 000 , 000 , —the estimated present amount of mechanical and scientific producing power : and yet cotton-spinning is only one branch of or , e manufacture ! The present amount of producing power possessed by us , then , would appear to be—Manual labour ( one-third of the population , 27 , 000 , 000 ) ... 9 000 000 Mechanical power ... ... 600 , 000 , ooo

      Total producing power — 60 » , 000 , 000 ! ! Showing an ( acreage since 1817 of power equal to the labour of 371 , ? 56 , 0 » 0 "hands" ! . ' r The proportion which our present producing power bears to the population is more than twenty-two to one !! I

      LEEDS . Allotjient System . — We have recmitly had occasion to make copious remarks on the allotment system in this vicinity , but nothing has hitherto given us more pleasure than the example set by the proprietors of the Airedale Founri-y , in Hunsiet-lane , who have a plot of land adjoining their premises , which they have divided into lots for the benefit of their workmen , each having 160 yards , and this is allaired the men free of all chsnje ; rent is totaJly out of the question . This is an example worthy of imitation , and r-fleets honour upon the masters .

Woollen Cloth Stolen . —During the ni ^ ht of Thursday last , the burling room , ac ttie manufactory of Mr . John Barker , of West Royds House , Bramley , near Leeds , was broken opsn . The thieves obtained possession of two ends of olive and two ends of blue cloth , in the scoured state , with which they have hitherto managed to get clear off . Mr .

      . BARNSLET ? — Two individuals have committed suicide , and a tnird has made the attempt in this town , during the past week . Mr . Moone , who kept a shoe warehouse , hung himself on Thursday morning in an old building belonging to a Mr . Burgess , where he wis found in a day or two , after a considerable search having been made in the different water 3 about the town ; various causes have been assigned for the rash act , but the most probable one is decline of business anif a dn : ine of years , which caused temporary insanity . On Monday morning about six o ' clock , Charles Brandon ,

      a bleacher , in the employ of Mr . Jackaon , hun ^ himself by , a small cord fastened to the door . He waa a man highly beloved and respected by all who knew him , " particularly his fellow workmen . He was a sober and industrious man . He suffered much from illness , which caused him to be of weak nerve , and it is supposed he committed the rath act while labouring under mental derangement . He has left five children and a wife to lament his loss . A widow woman of the name of Bell was the third person who attempted the rash act , but fortunately oue of her neighbours happened to see her , and cat her down , and by medical assistance she recovered .

      ROCHDALE—A Diabolical Act . —On Saturday afternoon last , two persons went to '' see the ' * Opening of the sixth seal , " by Danby , which was exhibited at tho lecture room , Town Hall , Roehda ' a .

She observed to them that they had not had time to view it , when they

      hastened down stairs and disappeared . On immediately entering the room she discovered that the centre of the painting , representing the slave , was cut out . Oue of the men appeared between thirty and thirty-five years of age , dressed in a dark velveteen shooting jacket , light-coloured trousers , plaid handkerchief , and about five feet seven inches high ; the other was rather taller , and dressed in dark clothes .

      « . . Manchester District of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows . —The officers of this district opened a lodge of the above order on Monday evening , at the house of Mr . John Kennedy , the Temperanco Hotel , Oldham-etreet , Manchester , entitled ihe Temperance Lodge , No . 3 , 941 , of the Manchester Unity , and established upon the great principle of temperance . Fatal Railway Accident . —On Saturday afternoon last , betwen five and six o ' clock , a distressing accident occurred on the branch railway at Blackwood , a few miles from Newport , occasioned by the blowing up of a locomotive engine used on the line , by which , we regret to say , two persons were killed , and two others seriously injuried . Tbe branch

      railway in question ia the property of the Tredegar Iron Company , is entirely used for tbe conveyance of iron from the company ' s mines in Monmouthshire to Newport , and is about twenty five miles in extent . On Saturday , about the time stated , an engine called the Vulcan , with a train of waggons , rtturning from Newport to the mines , stopped at Blackwood , where the engine drivers aud stokers got off and went to the George public-house , which was opposite the railway , for refreshment . They had not been iu the house matiy minutes before a terrific explosion took plac ^' , which shook the entire village , and produced the greatest consternation amongst the inhabitants . Upou the men rushing out they discovered that it was the engine on the line ibat had exploded , and in

      the carriage-road alongside of the railway they beheid two gentlemen who had been knocked down by the remnants ef the boiler , which with the engine , was totally destroyed , aud scattered several hundred feet from the place where tbe accident happened . One of the unfortunate persons was Mr . Davis , a farmer residing at Buttrey Hatch , in Monmouthshire , who was iu his 70 th year ; and the other proved to be Mr . Phillip Williams , a tradesmaa living at BUckwood . The latter was quite dead , part of the skull having been carried away : aaa Mr . Davis expired from the frightful injuries he had sustained while the men wore conveying him to a house in the neighbourhood . Two other persona were afterwards discovered in a field near the railway , having been struck by pieces of the engineand

      , much mutilated . Tney were immediately picked up and placed iu safety , but it is supposed , from the extent of injuries they have received , it is impossible foa them to recover . Great damage was done to several houses near the spot . All the window-pains iu the George public-house were blown in , and part of the roof carried away , besides the walls of the stables and some cottages attached thrown down by the concussion . Some pieces of the boiler and engine were picked up nearly 400 yards from the railway , and one was upwards of 1 cwt The explosion ia reported to have resulted from the engine-driver neglecting to open the valve after shutting off the sttam when getting off the engine . The loss of property , engine included , is estimated at least at £ 1 . 000 .
