      Estraordikart CincuMSTANCB . — Mrs Captain Fulchcr , who resides at 10 , Montpelier-terrace , Brighton , is in the habit of looking under her bed before she retires to rest . Between eievcn and twclw o ' clock on Friday ni « ht she took a candle , and , as usual , looked under the bed , and on seeing a tnnn , there she shrieked out . The fellow instantly rushed from his hiding place and seized Mrs Fulcuer by the throat with both hands , and held so firmly thai she thought eke must hove been strangled ; she could scarcely breathe , but she struggled with her assailant , and fortunately succeeded in ringing the bell , wuich she pulled violently . The man , who provtd to be John Goldspink , her footman , then quitted his

      hold , and ran into the dressing-room adjoining , where he immediately took up a razor and cut his throat , but although he made a deep gash , he did not do it effectually . Mr Richardson , a surgeon , residing close by , who was awoke by the cry of murder , was called in . He sewed up the wonnd , and afterwards had him removed to the Sussex County Hospital . On searching him a piece of rope about the thickness ef a clothes-line was found in his pocket . It is supposed he had concealed himself for the purpose ot robbery , ns the plate and other valuables were kept under lock and key in the dressing-room , which was accessible only through his mistress's bedroom . He had been in Captain Fulcher ' s service about eight months . It is expected that he will recover .

Glory t , the Men of Nottingham ! He was a Catholic and an Irishman , aid from the hotw ? . soul fle thanked the Irish Catholics of Nottingham , who , he was informed , voted to a man tor 0 Connor . Tho dawn of liberty hath risen in NottmaJiara ! leuds and prejudices wcro buried in Nottingham 1 And tho young anirit of Freedom was abroad invigorating and giving new lifo to Mie brdy politic . Better days wevo in vtoro for Ireland ; a portion of her own sons hxd seen thoir error , and with that magnanimity which has ever characterised Irishmen , they have made ample amends . Never w » s there a more traduced man than O'Connor ; 0 Gonneil had rando him a present to the Enelish

      people ; but from tho moment that Feargus O'Connor set his foot upon English soil till tho present instant , where is the man that would daro point to one singlo act , ay , one single word , that ever that man > -aid against his country . No , sir , amongst all his revilers , and though it had been said that he would be soon found in the camp of the tnemy , Fcargua O'Connor was the only living man that had acted a consistent part in tho politics of the empire ; and , although the hireling press of England and Ireland united their aid to crush that man , with the aid of a faithtul few poor men , they now , as ever dread that spirit which thny could neither break nor bond . Nottingham might well be proud aa Ooik was . Who haa he defeated ? Sir Cam Hobhouse , the first orator of the day , a minister of the jrown . He ( MrD . ) recollected attempting to address a meeting once at which Sir Cam presided , but becauso he was not an elector , although hfi told him ho was an Irishman

      that dared to tell him the truth , lie would not hear him . He was now glad to set an Irishman triumph over him , and hurl hi * ministerial consequence in tho dust . Feargus O'Connor had n nv got Whiggery down , and ho would keep it , down . He should like ro see Cruikshank , or Alfred Crowquill , sketching ' little Johnny , ' when Fear |> ua O'Connor first entered tho House . Lord John was now the representative of the filth and dirt of London . No one could deny that . Yet ho felt it a high honour no doubt : aud he believed he would rather have suffered a defeat in London himself than that his hack should have bren kicked out of Nottingham . He ( MrDwaine , ) , had no hesitation in saying this was the greatest triumph tbe people have tiad t ip . 5 e many years . It was n triumph for Ireland too ;

      and they would soon sea that Feargus O'Connor was true to the land of his fathers-if he had been in the house , there * as not a year that the repeal of the union would not huve been discussed in that house . He recollected a meeting at the Thatched House , wken Fearaua O'Connor urged the necessity of bringing forward the repeal question yearly in the house , and Daniel O'Connell was the man that opposed him ; he differed with O'Connell upon that policy , ami lie believed Foarjjus O'Connor was right and Daniel O'Connell was wrong ; and O'Connor ' s argument was this , —John Bull is a straight forward honest fellow , provided jou did not succumb too muok to him , he liked fairpky , he only wanted to be convinced he was wrong ; bnt he could not be convinced without argument ; he stcrnd up for his own rights and had no respect for thoso who had not thfi

      same courage to stand up for theirs also . What wonld Y » ung and Old Ireland say when they knew that hi 3 fearless veim were proclaiming , within the corrupt house of St Stephen ' s , the death knell of the accursed union ? Would they even then forget thc ' battles of the parties , ' and do justice to one they had so oft maligned—we shall see . Mr Dwaine proposed the following resolution , and sat down amidst much cheering ;—Rwolved : —That the grateful and heartfelt thanks of this meeting of Confederates , are eminently due tnd are hereby giv « n to thtclector ? and non . ekctors of Notingharo , ( or their nolsle a * u manly conduot in f purning the glitteriug bribe of the treaiury at the shrine of their dignity as freemen , and who thereb y have shown a mignanimous example to the constituencies of the world , by their contempt of tlio peifidious Whigs , and their love fof unirersal liUrt y , by returning its most nntlinchiug and indomitable Uvooate , Foargus O'Connor .

      iMr Sullivan , as an Irishman , felt proud to second the resolution ; anything he could say would only mar its effect after the last speaker . Mr Mavnb next addressed the meeting at great length ; It gave him great pleasure t 6 witness the joy that prevailed at the triumph of O'Connor , lie was glad to see thc Whi gs getting such a thrashing . Dip condition of the people was always worae under the Whiqs ; however , prosperous they grit when they took office , they wore sure to leave ' it in debt . 1 ho Irish people got nothing but coercions and starv . uion from them , lie believed had the Tories been ia oiRue , not one man would have died in Ireland . Let them contrast the position of the Whigs of this citj with that of Feargus O'Connor ; never was bribery and corruption more flagrant and reasonable on thc one side ; now patriotism , honour and wellearned fame on the other .

      Mr M'Cakthy next addressed the meeting , and canvassed very freely the political shifting doctrines ot Sir Cam Hobhouse , Mr WAtiafollowed : Ik congraiwUtcd thc eouatry on the evident advance of liberalism as contrasted with last election ; he saw a determination in tho minds of the people to march forward with such a spirit , and with such an accession of leaders their cause must triumph , sectional parties wero fallinpr by the defeat of Vincent ftnd Sturge , and tho people ; ere Jong , would be one body . ono rciud , having one coirmon object ia view , tbe greatest amount of happiness for the greatest number . Mr John Collins , ex-repeal warden . next addressed the melting ; This was the first time ; he had attended a meeting for some months past , there were some members present who knew the cause of it , yet he was as dovotcd to Ireland ai ever .

      Mr D jvaix moved a vote of thanks to Mr John Collins for liis services at all times in the cause of Ireland , but particularly fov the prominent and active part he took in the original organisation of Confederacy in Londou . Mr Clasct seconded thc resolution , and joined in U 10 deserved encomium passed on Mr Collins e . \ ertions . others had talked loudly , but the work , the real work , was done by him . The New Organisation—A committee of 7 w » re then appointed to consider their inturc organisation ; and ord « n-. d to bring forward their report tm next night of meeting .

Thcv recognise ih thLi onnfedewtion X devclopement of the advancing spirit of the tnnV . i teenth century ; and a firm determination ismanifintedby a vast number of them , to keep pace with the growing inielligence aud progressive spirit of tUo ¦ present ace .

      lho adhesions that ; appeared in last week -: «« i- !' will show the hopotnl prospects of the Awwiatuw • the great number of applications we have lor , Wnu i from all pans of the kingdom , to visit the tiiftW ' tit trades bodies , to set fbnh and explain the objec ' fctof the National Association , is another proof of « he rar . i ti manner in which the principles of our body ,, .. l \* . i for agents and mlormat . on , that it would take ibe Centra Committeo six months from the pivae . a . Uo to supply , without any other application . But 1 ,-itcra are daily coming to the » ffico . preaaini : for agent * ov S if noajentcan bo sent , they want the Central C . . mmittee to impart all the information in thoir power as to the constitution and plan of o peration adopted by the National Uuion . ' Everything around us warrants the conclusion that ! the signs of the times arc in our favour , and we trust , thatthe various districts in connexion with the Association will co-operate with us . and not allow eo favourable an opportunity to pas-t without beinsj cmbraced , nndendeavourto communicate to the different trades in your respective localities , such ini ' urmatioM

      as tliey may require ; and depend upon it wo shall individually be benefiteil by doinj ; so , for the » rcatuour numerical strength may be , tlie more stroh-: and efficient will be our effort for Labour ' s emancipation .

      f he districts can assist us in various ways , and ! . y aconstant co-operation of these auxiliaries , thc Association would be more prosperous than ever . Anil to show how this may be , we feel disposed to direct > our attention to a subject introduced a few weeks back by the Manchester silk weavers . A plan which , if taken up by the districts , would have a very beneficial influence upon both tho employers , and ail those who have not as yet joined thc National Associaiun . Tho plan suggested by the Manchester broad silk weavers is , for the various district committees t appoint a select committee to canvass their respective localities , to visit tho shopkeepers , the cfftVu house keepers , publicans , provision dealers ami ali classes of tradesmen , depending upon the worlui't ; classes for support , with the view of obtaining these tradesmen to becomo honorary members of the Association .

      Now this we consider to be an excellent , plan , aud well calculated , if practically carried out , to generate a feeling of brotherhond and sympathy between these tradesmen andihe working classes . We have no doubt'bnt that if many of these gentlemen were only waited upon , they would cheerfully become honorary membeis of tho Association , and send their subscrip tions regularly to the society . This would verv muish increase our pecuniary resources , and invest us with additional meana to superintend the general affairs of the Association , and enable us to meet mure promptly the application of tho various trades for tho interference and assistance of the National Association .

      We have no doubt , we sr . y . but that these senilemen would bscome subscribers to our funds , inasmuch as they are weekl y depending upon tho industrious portion of the community for their own support ; and they must be fully satisfied , that , if their customers are but ill-remunerated for rheir labour , they will have less to lay out with thesliopkeepeiv , the provision dealer , and othera , and that the less they sell , the smaller will be the amount of their profits " ; and wheu their profits are curtailed , their prosperity will be impeded , and their general interests will be very much exposed ; for however their business muy decline , and their income decrease , they will have still the same amount of rent and taxes to pay , as though trade was as good as could be desired .

      Tbe way , therefore , for the tradesmen to cojimand a good sale and a quick return of cash , wilibefor them to assist the working men to raise the price of labour—to elevate the condition of the industriousand , as a natural concomitant , they would be better customers to thc 3 e gentlemen ; because they would have more means at command to obtain the necessaries oflifo than they now have , and they would be sure to purchase their goods of these tradesmen who were assisting them to maintain a fair price for their toil . And the shopkeepers , by increasing their sales , wouid proportionably increase the amounts of their profHs . Consequently , U will be to the interests of such tradesmen to command a ' fair dav ' s wage for a

      fair day ' s work ; ' and if the working classes will only take up this question with spirit and enorgy , shopkeepers , provision dealera , and others , would promptly respond to their call , and an increase of power and influence would be added to the Association ; and the great objects of our combination will tho more easily and speedily be accomplished . For in addition to an increase of pecuniary aid , that would result from the co-operation of these parties , we should liavo tbeir moral influence , which they would undoubtedly exert to effect an amicable and successful adjustment of any dispute that might arise between tbe employers and thc employed ; and , to a considerable extent , deter unprincipled employers from further encroaching upon thc rights of industry .

      Let the districts take active steps to appoint select committees for this purpose , and tbe results will exceed our most sanguine expectations . Let the committee be composed of true and active men , who will be willing and prepared to brave opposition with boldness , to meet difficulties with courage , and to hail success with g ladness . Let no one be remiss in his duty , and , bright as may be our present prospects , that brightness will be obscured by the superior light that will burst upon our movement . Anotbev method by winch districts would consideribly accelerate the progress of the Association , tfould be by their using all the influence they possess among the above-named tradesmen , to become consumers of the goods manufactured by the men employed by the National Association . Their custom to the Association could easily bo solicited by the select committees in canvassing for honorary

      members , Some might object to contribute a shilling per month to the Association , while they would have no objection to purchase their goods from us . This would create for us a retail market for tbe sale of our articles—would give us a profit upon the disposing of them—and by that means would assist us to extend our operations for the improvement and regeneration of thc working class . But few , indeed , wo think would object to purchase a few pairs of free stockings , unstained with the blood of cruelty and wrong , instead of disgracing theirlegs with stockings steeped iti slavery , and _ manufactured amid the tear * and groans , and sufferings of poor frameworkknitters , who are compelled to toil hard and long , fer an average wages of not more than six or seven shillings per week ; and out of that are subject ; to several reductions inthosbape of frame-rent ,

      What we-have said of ouv stoclungs , may be said with respect to our boots and shoes , our shirting , and our gloves , and every other article of manufacture , produced by the power of the Association , in giving employment to the oppressed and destitute . Let tho select committee make it a point to obtain tbe custom of these gentlemen , that they may boast to all they deal with that they no longer are dishonoured by wearing articles manufactured in degraded poverty , and by a species of slavery more revolting and base than ever disgraced the history of the 'African Negro ; ' and at tbe same time they will be giving encouragement to free and well-paid labour . —and every pair of stockings , or boots , or shirts , or any other articles manufactured by the National Association , which they purchased , would be drying up the tears , assuaging the griof , and binding the bleeding breaking hearts of the disconsolate , and greatly oppressed and much injured operatives .

      You will perceive by this how much you can enhance tbe welfare and prosperity of our nightly eonfedaration ; in the first place , by procuriug honorary members who would be constant contributors to our funds ; and in tbe second place , you would obtain a number of eonsuniers who hitherto have been completely unacquainted with the very existence of the Associatien-sayjnothing of tbe unprecedented efforts and objects of the same . Another way in which districts could be of ereat servico in assisting us in extending our operations would be by exerting their influence to procme

      fgpssss ^ Manulactures , you would very much facilitauX K Iff i ^ "toWew * ouW have a vested iatemt M A « ° ciation , and consequently tb . y would eel tl emselves more interested in its prosperity , and be induced from personal advantage togireanimpettu to the movement , and they would feel more anxious to procure a market fov the lale of thegooils manufactured by the Association . 'I'll * amount of each share it £ 5 to be paid by in-

      ' stalments of not lets than 10 shillings per quarter . For ev « ry paid up share £ 5 per cent , interest will ba given , the manner in which it is intended to apply the funds . se > obtained is , in the purchase of lands , tlie erection ot dwellings and workshops for xcsinufacturing and handicraft purposes , and the employment of the unemployed members of the trades in these establishments would remove , if not all , stomc of the evils universally complainod of , and bj a more rational as well as a more repreducjive method of using the funds , collected for improving thu position

      : ¦ \ ! oflabour . It is with these views ths present association ia formed . It is an experiment to try how tar the wanting classes are prepared to act upon the opinions now so prevalent among them , and to clear tho way for those more extensive , comprehensive , complicated , and centralised operations , which must precede the entire emancipation of labour . If it succeeds , it will lay a solid foundation for other and ; more comprehensive mensures calculated to enhanee ; the well beinfj of the operatives , aud to secure the interests ol tlie association .

      lhat this would be a profitable commercial speculation , we have not the slightest doubts it it ia properly and judiciously managed , so as ultimately to yield a great interest to the shareholders , while each hhiiro would considerably enhanceit . * value .

      In onler to form an idea of tlie ;> ro / fe l « DB derived I'om n speculation of this description , we will suppose liac trades and individuals had taken out 2 . 000 iiiares . and paid those shares up , tbat would give us 1 capital of £ 10 , 000 . This sum , to be employed ia manufactures , would bring in a profit of not less man lo per cent per year , that is , supposing we were wiij ab e to turn our stock once in the year , but vra aiouid be able to turn it twice or thrice at feast .

      Biusoppuse wo onl y turned it twice over intheyear , weshouldradise prontof aboni £ 2 , 800 , orincrease the ralue of a £ 5 share to £ 6 10 s . You will therefore ^ see , and be able to point out to shopkeepers , provisiondealern , and other trades-poopk the great advitntates . which they would personally derive from 8 U « h a method of applying a » mnll eapit . il upon this Kmnple of co-operation . To trades collectively , the inM ^ , * grfat > ina ™ uch , k it would enable the trades , to aoomiiderabfe extent , to dratoff the surplus hand , from the labour marked and instead ot exhausting the lundsof the body ii supporting men m idleness , give them profitable employment , ai d thua ronder thc original capital °

      reproductive . ' Let the districts take up this question , and use tuur influence to procure subscribers and shareholders to assist in conducting to a successful issue the National Association . Let not another week pass away without the most active exertions being marie to procure honorary members , to create a market for our manufactured l ? oods , and to pet shareholders for the Association for the Employment , of . Labour . By this means we shall augment nnv pecuniary resources , strengthen moral power , and call lorsli the reciprocal aid and friendly co-Oi-enition « f those who have hitherto remained aloot from such movements . The . Central Committee of the above flourishing institution met on Monday , and following d-tys , foe the transaction of neneral ' business .

      A in : iss ot correspondence has been received from every part , of tha lunud&m , also adhesions from the following trades : ~ London type-founders , Manchctevlath-splUters , Nwthwich salt-maters , and N .. rthwich salt-rock miners ; also the following repnrfo from membm ol tho Central Committee . Mr Peel r-ported that he attended meetings at IuMthley , Barnsley Skilmanthoruc . Conningly , and Baeup . and several cases of mediation . It will be recollected by the readers of the Norths Star , that early m Juno , the power-loom weavers otBacnp . intheein ployofMrAiiken and Brothers ' , had turned out in resistance of a reduction amounting to 3 s . 4 d . in the pound .

      Mr I ' eel , « n arriving at Bacnp , found the town in astato p fizreat disorder , but was fort ' . nately successful 111 bringing the affair to a satisfactory adjustment , but one certainly to the advantage of tbe employer . For tour or five weeks things went on in a very smooth way . About this time some difference arose between an employer and a young man , a weaver , which ended in a brutal and unmanly assault upon the weaver by this gentleman . Legal proceedingwere very properly taken . and the peoples only lejra I protector . Mr W . P . Roberts ; soon taimht Mr Aitki-n tho useful fact , that tlie law was still strong cnou » h to protect a poor weaver asainst

      the i » norant brutality of this man , for the bench 111-Hicteda hue , costs , & (! ,, for the assault . Thennl > l » yer . how « vei \ w .-ia determined to make tberaj sutler tor takin ? legal proceedings against him . Sa he offered a reduction of 2 d . per cut , and that two loom weavers should attend three looms , in "fact requiring t » 0 mm to do the work of three Thi « being rejected , he served them with notice t- leave his emp'Oyment , and refuges to employ any whohava joined the National Association . Mr Peel i * proud to say , that in every quarter ho has visisted , he finds one all prevailing feeling in favour of th- National Association .

      CLITEIERO .-Mr Peel attended hero 0 , 1 a case of mediation , im account ot some grievances complained ot by the pnwer-lo'im weavers against one o £ the employers . The difference was not satisfaetonlyscttled . Still wo have strong veason to hope that this visit will be attended with great good . Mr Peel has received a great number of applications from Preston and Blackburn , and numerous places in Lancashire and Yorkshire , where thousands are only waiting for further explanations and a revival of trade .
