      LEEDS UNEMPLOYED OPERATIVE ENUMERATION COMMITTEE . Our anxiety W promote any undertaking that lias » tendency to ameliorate the sufferings of the destitute , prompt us to comply with the request of » deputation from the above Committee , that we would give a statement of its objects , in order that its claims to support maj be more widely circulated . A glance over one of the enumeration books , and a statement of the order of procedure , made by the deputation , enable us to say , that the mode which the Committee has adopted , is admirably calculated to attain the end in "riew .

      The Committee 13 composed of Delegates representing the workman employed at Tarious factories and workshops in the borough , who contribute one penny each , weekly , to a Committee Fund , the neoeesity of which will be apparent from the following statement : — Twenty of the most intelligent operatives are , at present , engaged in the seTeral wards taking the enumeration , who receive two shillings each , or upwards , per day . Two competent persons , otherwise unemployed , are engaged making an analysis of all the enumeration books which increases the daily expenditure , which , when added to the expenses previously incurred , by printing circulars , enumeration books , Sec , will show that the pennies of the weekly contributors are being well applied .

      We might here insert a few cases of appalling destitution which a brief inspection of an enumeration book brought ander our notice , were we not aware that we should thus be unnecessarily antici pating the committee ' s report ; we will only say , that the enumerators , when they haTe finished their several wards , will haTe laid bare such a mass of iadigenee and destitution , as but few indeed of the inhabiiaatsof Leeds erer dreamed of . We peroeire that Shashas Cbav > tobi > and other members of Parliament , hare been put in possession of statistical details of the average sums upon which

      human beings , in the seTeral towns which they represent , are obliged to subsist . We are not aware of the auspices nnder which these details haTe been collected . It would be well , however , if the operatiTes of all places , where distress prevails , and where it does not prevail , would take this matter into their own hands ; it is their own ca 3 e . The operatiTes of Leeds are acting upon this principle ; and good will undoubtedly result from its adoption . We hare long and earnestly contended for this

      made of procedure , Tiz ., the necessity of working men doing their own work . They cannot ponder OTer the misery which " they haTe brought to light without perceiving the causes from which it emanates . Let this be done generally , and we doubt sot the issue . The necessity of something being done is now becoming apparent , eTen to obtuse perceptions , cemmisseration for the sufferings of the poor , and desire to alienate those sufferings , are ami able feelings .

      The Enumeration Committee U acting upon a noble as well as a generous principle . The propriety f supporting this committee , we would respecfully enforce for erery employed operaiiTe in Leeds and other towns , we say , " Go ye and do likewise . "

      THE BIRMINGHAM DEMONSTRATION . "We know not how to begin to write on this invigorating subject , and , with our present modicum of space before us , dare not do so . We shall , therefore , Bimply leaTe the following extract from the letter of an eye-witness , which our readers will see was written as a priTate note , to tell its own

      BIEinXGHAM FOB EYER , HURRAH ! !! * * "It was not a Birmingham demonstration only , —it was a Midland Counties demonstration It deflai ' description , and baffles all calculation as to number * I shall give » ome facts whereupon you may form a sort of estimate . The streets of Birmingham are both long and wide ; BromsgroTe-street is particul » iy long—I should say frem top to bottom nearly 2 half mile , and -when I arrived at the bottom , tbat portion of the procession which preceded the ear filled the street is fall as an egg . It was not a procession , it was a town fall of people . ' While I was at the bottom

      of SromsgroTe-stzeet , I could not see nearly to the end of the procession , which was behind the car . — lErery man -who has iritnessed the processions for the last twenty years , with the exception of Mr . Blaxland , allows that it was far among the largest erer seen . Etbd if inclined , it would be impolitic in me to exaggerate , a * hnndreds of thousands saw the reality , and will judge lot themselves . Mr . Bl * xland , one of the old Council , and an excellent man , toid me fh » t he thought the procession to meet Attwood oa his return from Lord Grey , was longer , if any iking , but that MoEdar's far out-numbered

      any other be had seen . The Executive was there , and Leach , who saw half s million on Kersal Moor , says that he thinks Kersal Moor iras a larger meeting . I was at Birmingham at the grand Attwood convention demonstration in 163 8 , when the press gaTe us 200 , 000 . Mind , 200 , 000 , aad I assure yon , on my word of honour , you could haTe stolen the procession of 1 S 38 out of ours of Monday . It bore no comparison . Well , M'Doaall saw the procession to meet the delegates in 1 S 39 , and he said that it-would be an insult to compare them . The Town Hall of RmrnTigti "" is estimated to hold 12 , 000 persons ; and I assure you , that the numbers congregated in Birmingham on this ever-memorable 20 th of September , 2611 , woold haTe taken more than two hours to walk

      in and out of the said Town HaiL >* ow for the joke . Our great-grandmother of this morning , the Morning Herald , gaTe us , I presume , upon the same authority that it g 3 Te a list of the Administration that irzs not iti l > e , 5-00—mind , &S 0 ; men of Birixningham , mind , 500 little boys and -women . The dolt , the fool , the ass , the doaiiBg old woman ; can anything go further than such folly , to increase the people ' s confidence in taem-Eelves , and to destroy all confidence in all other classes ? Is there now , or is there not , a necessity for a daily organ of oar own , to fight the old we man with ? The dame is beginning already to tali of prosecutions also . ' Never was there sneh a demonstration , and neTer was there a bigger fool and ass than the combination of both that wrote to our great-grandmother . " Yours , ic ,

      "P . S . Mind , this was the only demonstration eTei got up in Birmingham by the working classes . " :-

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Sept . 21 . In reply to a question from Sir T . Wilde , respecting the continuance in the House of Commons of Sir £ . Sugden as a member for Ripon , after his appointment to the Chancellorship of Ireland , without being reelected , Sir R , Peel thought then was in this ease such a virtual acceptance of office , that , although the forma were not gone through , yet if the Hon . and Learned Gentleman would more for a new writ for RipoB , be would not oppose the motion . After some conversation as to the necessity of defining what should constitute an acceptance of office , the writ was ordered to be Issued .

      Mr . ViLLiERs asked the Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir R . Peel ) what might be the probable prorogation of Parliament . It was supposed by the public that it might aot meet until next February , and in order to remove all doubts on the subject be hoped the Bight Hon . Baronet -would give the withed-for information . Sir R . Peel said it was impossible for him to give toy assurance upon the subject . The next meeting of Parliament might depend upon circumstances which it was quite impossible to foresee at the present time . Mr . Ren me brought forward a motion with a view to render bathing and skating on the Serpentine in Hyde Park , and St . James ' s , more safe , by filling up the holes , and reducing the depth of the water to four feet

      The Chancellob of the Exchequer opposed the motion . He could remember when the Serpentine to so offensive to the houses in the neighbourhood and to the frequenters of the parks' that it became necessary to go to a very considerable expense in deepening the water in order to remedy the eviL The motion was tben withdrawn . Sir R . Peel moved for leave to bring in a bill to continue the Poor Law Commission until the 31 st day of July , 1842 . He thought it better to have a separate bill for the renewal of the Poor Law Commission apart from the other bills he proposed to continue . The motion was agreed to ; and lea raws * also given to the Right Hon . Bwonet to bring in & Bill for the eoatinu&nee of the other acts which would expire during the present year . On the motion of Lord Ashley , the Metropolitan Lunatics Bill was committed .

      Sir R . I . nglis paid a high compliment to the Noble Lord , who had earned for himself in that House , as well as in the country , the honourable character of being at all times the friend of the sufferer—the friend of humanity . Mr . Wakley contended that it would be better to continue the Bill for one year only , instead of four years , as the Bill contemplated . Sir James Graham supported the propriety of adopting the longer period , and expressed his willinguesa to lend his aid to the framing of a future measure upon the subject The longer period was , after some conversation , adopted , and the House resumed . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

      TO MR . HEXRY HETHERINGTON . Sir , —After having challenged me to a discussion relative to the principles of Chartism , as advocated by Messrs . Lovett and Collins , and the principles of Chartism advocated by the National Charter Association , you have , I find , declined the acceptance of my proposal to meet you , although I have much inconvenienced myself by offering to extend the time to any day up to Friday inclusive . You say ( I understand ) that you would not be prepared before the middle of October , as you require to look over back numbers of the Xorthem Star . You forget that all the preparation necessary on meeting Mr . Watkins would be available in

      your discussion with me ; but jou could not have forgotten that , from the middle of October , for some months , I have aa engagement for every day . In this state of the affair , I must beg to hand you over to the Executive , who will be in London on Monday , the Uth , when , I am instructed to say , they will take the part which I had assigned to myself . I must say , that your conduct has been most unfair and unjust ; but I have no reason to complain , if the public will tolerate such a trifling with to serious a subject . I am , Sir , Your obedient Servant , Feargus O'Comnor .

      BRONTERttE O'BRIEN . Fellow Countrymen , —Had not our exultation been chastened and modified by the very judicious letter of our persecuted friend , Mr . OUrien , wo should have been led by our enthusiasm , at his liberation , to make it a matter of public rejoicing and congratulation . Like purer spirits we can rejoice when even one is extricated from the jaws of our enemies ; but our advocate and champion is not one only , he is himself a phalanx . On the 24 th of this month , O'Brien will , if able , walk out of the dungeon in which ha Las been bo long confined . It is not his intention to allow himself any long respite , bat to proceed , as soon as convenient , to carry on his attack upon the combined forces of capitalist 2 nd landlord .

      All will see the necessity and propriety of M * . 'Brien being so circumstanced that he can be at full berty to adopt such steps as will be beat to promote

      our common cause . In order that such may be the case , it will be necessary to forward all monies at present in the hands of the seven ! Treasurers , to the General Treasurer appointed by the Central Committee ; and we entreat you , fellow countrymen , not to let this suffice ; recollect , for a moment , that the man whom we are thus feebly insisting , is persecuted for the transcendent ability , and the indomitable spirit , with which be has pleaded for the rights of man . Recollect ! that be has sacrificed the honours of rank , md the comforts of competency , and submitted to the misery and hardship of want , that he might assert those principles which are founded in truth and justice , md for which we hope that all are disposed to make some sacrifice .

      Now that Mr . O'Brien has outlived the torments of tils imprisonment ; now that he is going to be restored to the bosom of his family , and the society of his friends , let us make one general effort , testifying eur gratitude to Mr . O'Brien , and our abhorrence of his enemies . Let every association have its voluntary collection on its next meeting night As much depends upon individual exertion , let every member go with a resolution to moot the subject if none else does . With such a resolution little exertion would be necessary , and , if simultaneously acted upon , great and good must be the result . Signed on behalf of the Committee , John Ogden , Secretary .

      TO NEWS-AGENTS , CO-OPERATIVE STOREKEEPERS , AND ALL SUCH AS TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE CARRYING OUT OF THE AGITATION FOR THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER . Fellow Working Men , —Knowing , as I do , that political knowledge is the only thing wanted among the people to arouse them to a sense of their degradation and slavery , I deem it a duty incumbent upon e ^ ery lover of liberty to use every means in his power to regain for himself and his fellow working men those long withheld but just rights which we are now struggling for ; and if the people will carry out the principles which I am about to recommend , I believe it would be of incalculable benefit , in supporting the Chartist cause , and that without the sacrifice of one Bingle penny to the public , aa yeu will perceive in reading this letter .

      You are aware that we have an Executive Council , elected to direct the national movement , but whose labours are , to a certain degree , crippled for want of better supplies , which may be considerably increased by carrying out the following plan , which I propose as follows : — I will supply all Buch as nay favour me with their orders with blacking of best quality , and at the lowest possible price ; and whilst it ia good and cheap to tha consumer , it shall leave * a good remunerating profit to the agent . And I further propose to transmit to the Executive Council of the National Charter Association ^ to assist in carrying out the objeats for which the Association was forme * , one halfpenny out of every shilling which I receive . Tho following regulations to be adhered to in the financial affairs : —

      First , That every order must be accompanied with the money ( or we can never conduct our business with propriety before the public ) , and that the agent , when he sends me an order , must sent a copy of the older to the Executive Council , that they may know what is doe to thtm every week . ¦
