      THE COMMONS Tuesday , January 26 . The " House" met at two o ' clock , and was shortly after summoned to the " Upper House , " to hear her Majesty speak . In obedience to this summons , the Speaker , accompanied by the greater number oT Members then present , and preceded by the' Sergeant at Arm ? , bearing the Mace , left the House . The Speaker returned after an absence of about ten minute 3 , aud the House adjourned during pleasure . The Speaker resHmed the Chair at half-past three o ' clock , and informed the Honse , that during the recess , he had issued new writs for the election of Members to serve in Parliament , for the borough of Carlow , in the room of Mr . Vigors , deceased ; for the county of Mayo , in the room of Sir W . Braba-« on , deceased ; aad for the Kirkaldy burghs , in the room of Robert Ferguson , deceased . .

The election took place on the 30 th of XoTember , and a return was made on the 5 th of December , but by same accident or mistake it wjs dated the 5 th of Xovembsr . He ^ S : r Thomas Fremantle ) apprehended ttat it was merely a clerical error , and that it did not affect the merits ' or Tiiidity of the ekcrian . Mr . Aechdaix suted that he -was present at the Section of Crjlow , -when Colonel Brnen -was returned . The election tooi p ^ ace on the 30 th of November , and the return tras made on the 5 th of December .

      Sir T . FR £ Ma > tle then moved that ths return be amended by striking out November aad inserting December , - whick was accordingly done . iir . E . J . Sta . vlet gare notice that , on the part of Lord John Russell , the Noble Lord would , on Monday , the 29 th of February , move for leaye-to bring in a Bill for the continuance of the Poor Law Commission for a limited period .

      Mr . O'Co > " 5 £ LL was about to give a notic « , when he ¦ was interrupted by The Speaker , who said the Hon . Member ought to put his name upon the list . Afterwards , - . Mr . O'Coksell gave notice that , if the Bill of the Ifoble Lord , the Member for Lancashire , did cot contain a clause to define the franchise , he should divide the House on the motion for leave to bring in the Bill . ( Hear , and a laugh . ) THE ADDRESS . Lord B&abazq > - moved the address . The first part of his harangue was a most futeome toadying of the Queen and the Court , respecting the-poor lutle innocent bafaby Victoria lately gave birth to . He then accompanied the Ministers and their butchers to Syria , to India , and to China , fighting their battles over again in most self-glorifying style , and he concluded by saying ,

      that—He was happy to bear testimony that Ireland participated in the general prosperity that pervaded every part of the empire . She "Was improving in wealth and industry , and great benefits were perceptible from the eare that had been taken to disseminate throughout the country the advantages of education , " Mr . Ghastly . Berkeley seconded the address . In so doing , amongst other thiDgs , he said : — " He congratulated the country , and he con-gr ^ tulated tie Government , upon the Chinese ¦ war , as being so advantageous to the great commercial intertsts of that country . When operations commenced against China , the remoteness of the seat of war , the novelty of the circumstances , and the enormous numerical strength of the power agajnst which they were to contend , might ¦ well have raised a doubt in the minds of some as to the

      issue ; but they had now st-en , that the policy -which had given instructions to the Admiral commanding on the station , was founded on the most jost calculations . It Bust be most gratifying to the breasts of all , that a mere handful of men , schooled to forbearance , but determined on s&ccess , had humbled the brutal pride of an enormous empire , and forced the Emperor-of China far the future to regsrd the humblest English merchant , while tra-iirg with that country , with "honour and respect . —[ Smuggling opium : ]—Not only was the highlytriumphant policy of the >" oble Lord likely to be productive of beneficial results in a mercantile point of Tiew , but he was induced to regard them in a religious Tiew— ia laugh )—[ well might the brutes laugh . ' 3—and that a dawning light was about to break through the darkness of that idolatrous land . ( Hear , hear , hear . ;"

      Af ' . erscme whining , respecting the unpopularity of the New Poor Law at first , and the difficulty of getting proper persons to work it , he asserted that ;—* ' Now , however , the provisions of the law were carried proper ' y into effect . The poor were now feeling and acknowledging its advantages . There existed now no doubt t '_ st the Poor Law Amendment Act was progressing in the most satisfactory manner . In-his own county the rates were reduced twenty per cent , as compared with the three years preceding the passing of that Act On the 5 ih of January , 1836 , there were in that county S 46 able-bodied men receiving parochial relief . On the oth of January , IS 41 , there were bat

      26 . ( Hear , hear . ) In spite of letters , written from the felon ' s cell , to stir up discontent , and to render the law odious ; in despite of these and other subterfuges resorted to , by persons who sought only by such means to screen themselves from responsibility it could not be denied that , generally through the country , the great mass of the people showed an insproved disposition to look to consequences . ( Hear . ) He might safely say that the snow ball of the Chartists , rotted in the first instance , by disaffected people who had nothing to lose but everything io gain by confnsion , h 3 d melted away before the wise measures of lier Majesty ' s Ministers , and the returning good sense of the people . Incendiarism was forgotten , and the day labourer could now retire in peace to his cottage . "

      Mr . G-bote censured the policy of Government in making war on a power which had never been unfriendly , and which never had done any injury to this country . He dwelt at much length on the foreign policy of the country , in a tone of disapprobation towards the csurse adopted by the Government . Mr . Jaues defended the conduct of the Government Lord J . Bcssell entered at great length into the eastern question , and defended the Government from

      the charges made against it by Mr . Grote . In reply to an observation , to the effect that the present Ministry -were finalists , and opposed to all reform , he said that such wes net the case , for they were friendly to reforms , particularly in matters more immediately connected with trade and commerce , but they did not conceive the institutions of the country to be grkTai-ces ¦ because they were locked upon in that light by others , aad they irere firmly resolved to maintain the - Established Church , the Hereditary Peerage , . and the Hereditary Monarchy of this empire .

      Mr . Ml LUES regretted that France had not been treated with more deference by the British Ministry . Mr . Hcme , after a speech of considerable length , moved an amendment to the address . Sir . R . P £ EL irould decline to agree ± o . anything like censure on the Government on the ground of its foreign policy , until all the documents should be laid on the table . He was , however , of opinion that a proper degree of courtesy had not been observed to--vards France , and referred to the explanations of M . Guisot in the French Chambers , in which he stated that be was not aware of the execution « f the treaty

      trj the other allied powers , exclusive of . France . He wa * of opinion that the intention to sign it ahonld haTe been confidentially communicated to M . Guizot , who was a warm friend to England . The Riglrt Hon Baronet strongly condemned the omission of the name f France from the speech , and said it irould hare been ia bo degree derogatory to England , and would be Teiy conciliating toward * France , if there had been in the speech an expression of regret for the disagreement irhicfa bad taken place between the two countries , and a hop © for a speedy return of the . cordial understanding which formerly existed between them .

      Lord Palmebstoic said that no fair opportunity would be lost in eDdeaTonrijig to conciliate Franca , bet he could not allow that there had been any discourtesy toward * that country—on , the contrary , a . great number of concessions had bees made to France ,

      Untitled Article

      with a Tiew to obtain her eo-operatian , and at length a final one was Bent , to which a po * itive refusal was received , on the ground that to coerce the Pacha , France could bo no party . After that communication it would have been Tain , he contended , to have again solicited the coalition of France , when it was the decided intention to take coercive measures . All the documents , however , connected with these matters would be laid before Parliament , when Hon . Members would be better able to jndge of the correctness of the course parsued by her Majesty ' s Government He would » nly add , that if the same zsal had been displayed to enlighten the people of France , upon the course pursued by the British Government , as had been displayed to mislead and excite them , there would have be « n no danger of collision between the two countries . He regreited that tbis irritation kad been excited in France , but he hoped ere long to see the two countries once more resume their former good understanding . The amendment of Mr . Hume not being prf ssed , the address was agreed to , and the House adjourned .

      Wednesday , January 27 . Sir Robert Inglis " blew up" Ministers for not having caused the Queen to " blow up" Das and the liepeal movement in the speech from the throne . Little John defend « d his pals , by taunting the Baronet about the physical-force of the Ulster Orangemen . Mr . BBOTHEETOX moved his usual resolution , that no new business , objected to by five Members , should be brought on after twelve o ' clock . After a pretty " taJk , " and some nice disclosnns , as to the manner of conducting debates after midnight , the motion was , cf course , lust , the numbers being 31 against 138 . Mr . Ewjlrt supplied the public with another exaniple of the purity of those who are to make all others pure , by pointing out that Members who had local interests w = ro plawd on all CcJinniittees on private 3 iil 3 , so that the Committees were divided into partizans , and contests wtre prolonged , greatly to the injury of the petitioning parties . To remedy the evil , Mr . Ewart proposed that the Committee of Selection should choogj the Members of Committt ; es amongst those Gentlemen who were personally and locally the least interested . Tbis , on a division , was lost by 22 to 2-1 , and the Committees are to be composed , as heretofore , of locil jobbers . Mr . Hodges obtiiced leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Constabulary in England and "Wales . Thursday , January 29 . In the Upper Trap some " talk" was bad about black-bottle Cardigan , and it "was asreed that a Committee of all the Peers , who bad attended during the Session , should meet on Monday , to inquire into the practices of the " House" in reference to indictments against Noble Lords for felony .

      CARLISLE . — Akti-Corx-Law League Committee AND P . H . HOW AUD , ES ( J ., M . P . FOR THE Borough . — On "Wednesday , the 2 uth instant , this body met . Mr . Howard in the council chamber of the Town HilJ , for the purpose of hearing his views on the subject of a Repeal of the Cora Law * . The meeting was called by circular , and was marly wholly confined to members of the Anti-Corn-Law League an < l their friends —with the exception of one or two Chartists , A meeting of the Committee had been held the evening pre v ious , when it was agreed that certain of the leiding Chartists should be excluded , in couscqujnea of the

      opposition which they so successfully offered to this body , at their first and only public meeting , in the Athenaeum . This having got wind , the vtry Chartists who were to have been excluded at all hazards , waited upon Mr . Howard , and ixplained to him the unfair course which v . as about to be pursued . Mr . Howard denounced the party , anil stated that hi 3 most auxi < . u . s wish was to meet his constiUu nts , and the ptople at large , in public meeting assembled . In consequence of this , the Mayor 'Mr . John Dixon ) desired the parties so excluded to come forward . Messrs . Hanson , Arthur , and one or two others entered the counc'l chamber .

      On the motion of Mr . Sheffield , Mr . John Dixon , mayor , was caile-. l to the chair . He said—The present meeting had been called by the And Corn-Law Committee : it having been thought desirable that a friendly interview should take place between them and thtir worthy member Mr . Howard , who had expressed hi * ¦ willingness to rraet the members of the Association , who feh very strongly on the subject of the Repeal of the Corn L ^ -ws . If Mr . Howard and his constituents had any difference of tpinion , he trusted th ; present interview wouici have the tfiVct fit adjusting it It was a subject of great importance , and it was his firm conviction , that uuU « 3 some more liberal system of import

      duties were established , ( and th * duly on foreign corn funned the most important of them , our country luust go on languishing . The poor were suffering cxireine privation , and he was afraid must continue to suffer , if these obnoxious laws were not repealed , which bore so heavily on the industry of the country . He then referred to the Report on Import'Duties , lately published by the House of Commons , and which ought to be in the hands of every one . From this it appeared , that a very great reduction might take place in the taxation of many articles of great utility—such as coffee , corn , sugar , and other articles of provision . He then calltd upon Mr . Howard to explain his views on the moat important of all subjects .

      Mr . Howard came forward to address the meeting . He said—1 feel sensible of the feelings which have called together the members of this Association , in asking me to meet them . Of the kindness of tho 3 e feelings I am fully convinced : at the same time , I cannot disguise from you that , in a discussion of general principles , it would have been more acceptable to me to appeal to a general and unrestricted body of my fellow-countrymen . It would have been more acceptable to me to have attended a public meeting under tfce broad vault of heaven , than one confined to gentlemen of one particular opinion . "While I fet-1 myself indebted to the constituency and inhabitants of Carlisle , I can only regard the common intt-rests of the community , and cannot be swayed by the local interests

      cf one town . Having stated my opinion , which I beli = ve is in accordance with some of the best constitutional writers , I am also prepared to prove , that , even taking into cocsideration the local grounds of Carlisle , there is not a general feeling for an unrestricted importation of foreign corn . Carlisle is as much beboliien for its prosperity to the sons of the soil , as to the intelligence and industry of commerce . I am not speakisg invidiously ; for I am ready to ai ' mit the advantage the tovn has derived from manufactures , and the power of the steam engine , for the support of national wealth , though I cannot leave out of consideration the fait , that without the farmer and yeomanthe sons of the soil , Carlisle would not be what it now is . The manufacture of corn is one of the most laboin

      rious anu necessary of pr ^ fticcs which man can be engaged . The corn manufacturer works not urder shelter , but is exposed to the summer sun and winter blast , and has to contend with the vicissitudes of the s&isons , and the sttrility of the soiL It is from seeing that the manufacturers of this country have grown up to such a state of prosperity , under a system of protec tion—siting that cotten goods least protected in the scale , are still protected by a duty of ten per cent , even against our iellow-countrymen in our E * st Indian empire , and seeing other branches of manufacture prohibited by duties from ten to thirty per cent , I cannot reconcile the notion of placing the manufacturer of corn under a system of disadvantageous competition with other nations . I will re ^ d to you the statements

      of a great statistical writer , Mr . T . Marshall , from a work published in 1 S 31 . The local taxation raised at that time , from different classes of the county of Cumberland , was £ 54 , 980 . Tbis amonnt was proportioned as follows : —Taxes yielded by land , . £ 40 , 765 ; dwelling-houses , £ 12 , 378 ; mills and factories , £ 714 ; manorial profits , £ 1 , 829 . The population of the country , according to the same authority , -was—Agricultural , S , 300 , 000 ; manufacturers , 3 , 400 , 000 . This will shew yoa thstl am not taking : an ej : parte riew of tha matter . An interest contributing so largely to the local taxation must not be left out of the question . But I will give you the aggregve ratio in fractional parts , for the counties where manufactures principally flourish . Cumberland , Nottingham , Warwick . Lancashire , Staffordshire , the "West Riding of Yorkshire ; &c : —frac tional part of the taxes paid on the land , 688 out of 1 , 000 ; dwelling-houses , 2 G 1 ; mills and factories , 37 ;

      and manorial profits , 14 parts . These calculations are taken from authentic documents . The agriculturist is not only taxed for the building he inhabits , but on the estimate of his produce . Taking the tenth stook from the farmer is like taking from the manufacturer his tenth price of his cloth . These are the principal grounds which induce me to think , whether I consider the question one of justice or expediency , it would not be dealing out even-handed justice , if you denied to the manufacturer of corn that protection which you extend to other branches of industry . A high rate of wages , and low rate of grain , can never co-exist ; it has never done so , and , I doubt , it never wilL Mr . H . concluded with some other general remarks . —These sentiments expressed by Mr . Howard seemed to throw utter dismay into the minds of the Anti-Corn Law League , who occasionally interrupted the speaker in a very uncourteous manner .

      Mr . James Ross , draper , replied to Mr . Howard at great length ; but a > his arguments were very similar to those adraneied by Mr . Dixon , is opening the business , it is nnnecaisary to repeat them . He read a great many extracts from tip Report os Import Duties , ai published by the House of Commons . Mr . Carrick , potter , rose and said , —He was an enemy to all monopolies . He cared not whether it was an East or a West India monopoly ; bat if any were more pernicious than another , it was the Cora

      Law Monopoly . Remove that , and the benefit wocrid be felt by all classes and all degrees ; and Its felt convinced the agriculturists would reap a benefit there from . When he looked at the privations of the people , and especially that portion engaged is manufactories , and saw men only getting seven , eight , or ten shilling a week ; he was compelled to ask—is it to be endured , that we shall have a monopoly , which is destroying the life-blood of society , and deprive man of a sufficient quantity of labour to procure him the commonest necegariei of life- He wu convinced , but in tite Cora

      Lavs , a demand for labour would bare been created , so as to have raised weavers' wages four shillings a cat He declared , in the name of God , humanity , and religion , such a state of things « aght no longer to exist He did not believe that a repeal of the Corn Laws would reduce the rents of the landlords ; if he thought to he might pause . If the House of Lords and the House of Commons should declare they would not hear us , then , I say , we must make them . Unless they speedily make up their minds on the subject , then we / nust find men who wilL If we are not heard within the walls of the House , we shall be heard without , until we go in , and take the thing into our own hands . We must destroy the qualification , and put in working

      men . Mr . Joseph Broome Hanson , one of the Chartists who wai to have been expelled , rose and said—He hoped he would not be out of place if he offered a few remarks on the important question under consideration . It was desirable that such a question should be discussed in an open and candid manner ; and he , therefore , agreed with Mr . Howard , that it would have been better to have had a meeting of the whole of the inhabitants , and not a partial one , like the present . He understood the anti-Corn Law Committte had agreed , the night previously , to exclude himself , Mr . Arthur , and Mr . Bowman ; but the Chairman had taken a more liberal view , and had invited them in . Surely men ought not to be afraid of fur and open discussion .

      Every speaker had been shy—with the exception of Mr . Carrick , who had come point blank to the real question , that is , a change ia the constitution of the Houae of Common ? . He , Mr . Hanson , was a determined repealer ; for ho considsred the Corn Laws moat odious and unjust enactments , born of the National Debt and great taxation demanded at the hands pf the people . He need only carry Mr . Howard across the Atlantic to the beautiful republic of America , to prove h ' t assertion . In opposition to Mr . Howard , that high , wages and a low price of provisions do co-exist There the citizen or mechanic can earn his twenty to forty shillings a week , and can purchase a stone of flour for little more than one shilling . He thought the Corn Lavri were only for the protection of the landowners ,

      because every advantage was taken of the farmer to raise his rent , without a proportionate rise in the price of labour . In his opinion , however , the Corn Laws would never be repealed until the House of Commons was thoroughly changed , by tbu people having the power of chuosing their members to make the laws by which they have to be governed . The National Debt must also be removed , and an equitable adjustment come to . At the stme time , he contended , if the agriculturist had a right to protection against his enemy , the foreign dealer in corn , the weaver had an equal right to be protected against his enemy , machinery . Mr . Hanson then went into the history of tithes , showing their origin ; the way in which they were formerly applied—that is , a portion for the relief of the

      poor , a fraction to the cle . gy , and the other towards the repairs of the churches . These wise and benevolent purposes bad all been prevented ; and by the envied New Poor Law , the people were deprived of that right in fie laud , which God and nature intended them to have , and for which the famous Act of the 43 d of Elizabeth nicely provided . He said he learned from Judge Fortescue , that in the reign of Henry the Sixth , beef , pork , und mutton , were declared to be the food of the po . 'T , and these were called the dark ages . Would to God he had lived in those dark ages , or that this was the food of the poor at tba pns .-nt time ! There was a law p ; issed in the reign of Edward the Third , in the fourteenth century , regulating the price of labour ; at the same time a dung-cart fellow would

      earn a whole quarter of whtat in twelve days , twentyeight stones , and two gallons of ale . He then read an extract from a work , called the " Spirit of the Laws of England , " by Judge Fortescue , to the effect— " That the King ef England cannot alter tho laws , ot make new uues , without the expressed consent of the whole Kingdom . Every inhabitant is at liberty to enjoy what his farm produccth—the fruits of the earth—the increase of his flock , and the like . All the improvements he make 3 , whether by his own proper industry , or of those he retiina in his service , are his own t * use and « njoy , without the least interruption , or denial of any one . If he be in anywise injured or oppressed , he shall have his amends and satisfaction against those offending . Hence it is that the inhabitants are

      rich in gold and silver , and in all the necessaries and conveniences of lifa They drink no water , except at certain times by way of penance . They are fed in great abundance on all sorts of flesh and fish , of which they have plenty everywhere . They are clothed throughout in gooJ woollens . They are wull provided with all sorti of household goor s . Every one , according to hia rank , Las all things which conduce te make him easy and happy . " Mr . Hanson continued—How very comfortable our ancestors lived , in former days ; yet there were no Corn Laws then . In our own times , such , was tho miserable comditioa of tl : e people , that he himself knew of hundreds « f families in the mo 3 t al ject penury and want It was not a Repeal of the Corn Laws which would remove that want—they must repeal

      every law which had a tendency to oppress the working man—they must come to an equitable adjustment —they must transfer the reins < jf p » wer into tho hands of those who would watch over the interests of the poor , and prevent them being trampled on . He was satisfied the present House of Commons would never repeal the Corn Laws . Had they not denied inquiry ? Aye ; and they will continue to do so session after session—to refuse them a hearing—while trade was rapidly decaying , and misery increasing . The only resource was a change in the constitution of the House of Commons . He concluded by suggesting that the Chairman should call a public meeting , and that Mr . Howard be requsted to attend it , because he thought on so iinportaut a subject the opinions of the whole should be consulted .

      The May on said , if a requistion was got up , and presented to him , he would , in all probability , call a meeting of the people . A vote of thanks was then given to the Mayor , and another to Mr . Howard , for his readineis in coming forward . DUMFRIES . —Mr . O'Connell passed through this town on Thursday last ; while the horses were being changed , a crowd of about two hundred pcrsonB gathered , and when Dan set off he wai followed by loud and general groans , intermingled with a feeble cheer . During his short stay , the

      words " See the Judas , " " Traitor of Ireland . &c , were thundered in his ear by several voices . Several middle class men shook hands with him , as also did some of his poor countrymen , who are not yet aware of the cruel and remorseless treachery he has practised on the generous hearted working millions of unhappy Ireland . A few short years ago , and I myself did venerate Mr . O'Connell as the friend of freedom and of Erin ; but ? ww , I am grieved to say , that I would rather be " a toad , and live upon the vapour of a dungeon , " than be such a man . —Correspondent .

      === ^ FROM OUR THIRD EDITION OF LA »» WEEK . ^ ADDRESS OF THE CHARTIST DELEGATa TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS . * The Chartist Delegates from all parts of Engta and from Scotland , appointed by their several «? Btituencies to represent their views and feelin » i « the great meeting at Leeds , on the 21 st , assembly in the Committee Room of the National ChatS Association , Leeds , this day ( Friday , the 22 nd inS ? and unanimously agreed to the following ¦ * . ADDRESS TO THE CHARHSTS OF GREAr BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Fbiends and Fbllow-Countbthen , —Appoinjj by your suffrages to bear the expression of your & ? timents to the great gathering at Leeds , wq w endeavoured to perform our auty . We have ra 2 known to the collected representatives of wealth a ? rank , the purposeof the people of this kingdoin tl enforce and to uphold the right of every ' mJ ! equality before the law- ^ the right of every iw ! just influence in the ordering of the law—the rid of self-government and self-taxation , fairly oxerciS through the medium of representatives fairly chosn And we find great reason , in the events which ha * attended on our mission , to congratulate ourseta and you on its success .

      Your voice—the voice of Chartism—the voice i honest and benevolent reason , has been heard amojj those whose minds have long seemed to labo » under misconception , iu reference to your obje <* views , and principles . They have been taught 2 know that you are not the votaries of anarch y w confusion ; that you are not the slaves of ignorant and cannot be again made the dupes of treacher ? They have learned that your purpose is to iesn £ property , to conserve rignt , and to do justice , ffo , have learned that you understand clearly what ^ are about , and , that as you ask uo more tb& justice , you will be content with nothing legT We conceive it to have beet * a great step taken ^ the advancement of ourcause , tooringthe middle aS the higher classes , as they are denominated , withj » the here of cal

      sp m investigation . Man uaturzfo inclines to truth and justice , and , whenever hi cool faculties can be induced to look tW fairly in tho face , there is great hope of his * pousing them iu spite , even , of the counteracting jj fiueace of prejudice . Sensible that the whole po «» of the whole people , as it is irresistible for good , g also necessary for the accomplishment of good , ^ rejoice , most cordially , to see the spirit manifest ^ by the representatives of those classes of society who have , till now , opposed us . They seem fulh sensible that without us they are powerless , as , -mt h us , they \ would be all-powerful . And the prospect to your delegates , appears bright aud cheering , thtf a beneficial uniou may be , probably , ere long aocoa . plished , between the working classes and the honta advocates of right of ttvery other class .

      While , however , they rejoice in this prospect , ^ while they congratulate you thereon , they are dj , termined , for themselves , and equally warn you , tt keep your eyes open , and let no specious promise or fair pretensions , draw you , for one moment , fron the full assertion of the whoie undivided principl e in full detail and operation , of the People's Charter Let that watchwod of your liberty be emblazoned upon your colours , and let your colours be naij « 4 upon the mast-head , and an universal malediction fall upon him who first essays to siri kt them . While , at the same time , we expect you t » take all just and prudent means , by the avoidanc *

      of unlaw / ul acts , and of all unnecessary harshness iu your language and your manners , to convince tht other classes of society that you deserve their confidence ; that , while your uncompromising n ' rainea , shall convince the overbearing that you both know and mean to have your rights , and while your well sustained measures , dictated by intelligence aai prudence , show equally the cunning and the deceit-/' ul that you are not to be deceived , your peaceful air and calm deportment shall satisfy the timid and well disposed , that you are not mad , but a sober , thinking people , who may be salioly trusted witl their rights .

      Tiiemiddle classes do not know yon ; theyhav > ben led to regard you as desiring the destruction of property , and the abrogation of others' rights for your personal advantage ; show them , by your intelhgenco and general conduct , that they liavs all this time mistaken you , and that you desir 9 not less their interests than your own ; since all are equallj concerned in the establishment and maintenance of good and cheap Government . So shall the ark of our Charter come to be examined and approved as the best refuge of the honest and patriotic of &H grades , from the evils of an nl-arranged and misgoverned condition of society .

      Signed , on behalf of the Delegates , upwards of thirty in number , from various parts of England aad Scotland . Jame 3 CuEiYES , Chairman . Samuel Hbalev , Secretary , Leeds , January 22 , 1041 .

      NEW RULES FOR FLOGGING WORKHOJJSff GIRLS . ( From the Satirist . J The Poor-Law Gommmissioners have thought propo , we learn , in consequence of the late scanda ! ou 3 disclosures respecting the flogging-master of tho Hoo Union , to draw up certain rules for the direction of masters of workhouses , in their punishment of children . Th * drawing up of the document was , we date say , intrusted to Sir . Chadwick . No master of a workhouse shall be allowed to flog little girls lower than the back , on any pretence wliat-. ever ; and ia order to get at the back it shall bo deemed decidedly improper to remove the clothes in an upward direction . The infringement of this rule , to wit , the application of the birch to the other end of the vertebrae sunll , on its being satisfactorily proved by the female " sufferer , * * be visited by a . summary dismissal .

      Girls of fnsm 14 to 16 years of age Bhall be prWattlj whipped by the master , or only in presence pf th « matron , in order that she may watch and see whether he takes any " pleasure " in his task , beyond tbil which every honest man feels ia the performance of his duty . The master shall be allowed , if he please , te do hi * work by deputy , he standing by at the same time , to decide when the floggee , according to her age , strength , and capabilities , has " had enough of it " That , in order to impress on the minds of othtf female culprits the necessity of good conduct , all girls in the workhouse shali be present at such great mon ! spectacles ( with the exception already named ) , in tba fitin belief of tke Commissioners that they will deriW much edification from " the sight "

      With a view to preserve tlie morals of the masto , which might be endangered by too frequent practice of female flogging , he is hereby enjoined to perform this important duty , whenever it is possible , on tt » rowing principle , namtly , to strike one way , and " look another . " No private floggings , excepting in the cases already provided for , viz . those in which the flogger an-l flogges only are present , shall be tolerated , the CouimiHsionaa befog of opinion that publicity in all workhouse pro ceedings cannot fail to be productive of much good .

      Lastly , in all cases of flogging in which tUts niasta can be proved to have invaded that which shall ia futuxe ba deemed " neutral ground "—by ¦ which the Commissioners beg to be understood to mean the region round about the os sacrum—he shall be considered to have taken advantage cf a girl " behind her buck , ' and be subjected to ignominious dismissal according' ! -
