      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 9 . In reply to a question from Mr . O"Cox 5 ell , Lord Palmerstos said that he could not lay before the Honse the treaty between thii country and Texas « BtQ after its ratification . Lord Starlet again drew the attention of the JCoble Lord to the detention of Mr . M'Leod , in New York , wifhing to know what steps had been taken to procure hu liberation . Lord Paumkrston eaid tfeat npon that Tery day the festraotioM of the Goremmenfc had been » ent to Mr . Fox , but neither the Nobla Lord nor the Housa would expect him to state what those instructions were . Lord StasxET deiired to learn whether any pre-Tions instructions had been sent out on the subject .

      Lord Falmersto : * replied that the despatcbes from Mr . Fox had only been receired on Sstnrday , and that day ( Tnesday > was the first ttpon which the final Instructions could be aent out A former case , howera , span which Mr . Fox bad been fully instructed , ynas precisely ( similar in principle to the present Mr . Hcme quoted an order of the day of the Lieutenant-Goyernor of Upper C&a&da , passing a high enlogiam on the conduct of the parties engaged in the des _ - taraction of the Caroline . Hs wished to know whether this document hid erer been transmitted to her Majesty ' s GoreramenV asd whether it had bees spjroved of by them ? Lord J . Rvssell replied that the document had been communicated , and the Tiews of the GoTernnieut mpon the subject had been ; represented to the GoTernmentof America .

      Mr . T . DU 5 C 0 MBE asked , whether the British Government hid approved or disappioTed of the destruction of the Caroline . ' Lord PaLmerston replied that her Majesty ' s Go-Terament thought , under the peculiar circumstances of the ease , that the capture of the Caroline was justifiable . This announcement was received with load cheering from all parts of the House . In answer to another question from Mr . Hive , Lord PaLME £ STON * tat « l that the opinion of her Majesty ' s Government had been communicated to the American Minister in London , and to the American GoTernment by Mx . F « jx . The cheering iras again renewed on hearing this declaration from ths Noble Lord . Lord Mobpeth obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to drainage in Ireland , and the improvement of navigation and water power in connection with the system of drainage .

      Mr . T . Keilt moved for leave to bring in a kill for tbe abolition of the punishment of death in certain esses . The bill was nearly the same as the one he had Kns&ecessfuSy introduced to the Home last session of Parliament , but he had arranged it so that each instance in . which the punishment of death was proposed to be abolished was mode the subject of a eparate clause . He confined the operation of the pre-« ent Bill to England and Wales , but he pledged himself , if successful in carrying this Bill through Parliament , that be would brine in fjTnn ; yr bills for Ireland

      and Scotland . He was glad to find that Ministers intended at length to bring in a Bill for the purpose of abolishing the punishment of death in some cases ; and if any disderare had bees made to him as to the extent to which that Bill would go , he would have waited its introduction- As , however , he could not hope that it would g « to the extent be thought necessary , he then moved for leave to bring in his Bill , which , however , he would not carry into committee until he should have as opportunity of seeing the Ministerial measure . Mr . Ewabt seconded the motion .

      Lord J . Kcssell said there were certainly cases of crime now punishable with death , which ought not to be bo ; and be could not , therefore , refuse his assent to the introduction of the Bill of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman . He could not , however , agree in the vowed object of tha Hon . and Learned Gentlemanthat of abolishing the punishment of death altogether . Crimes , apparently of the same nature , were often Tery different in enormity ; for instance , aa attempt to set fire to ships in her Majesty ' s dockyards was an oCeace which partook of the character of high treason ; ¦ whereas , aefeting fire to some ropes , or other such offence * against mere property , - would be erixies very different in magnitude frvm the former . He was of -o pinio n t ha t it would ~ ue hi g hl y desirable to have a re-Tisksi of the whole criminal law , so as to render the punishments actually eaforced more rec jncileble with the punishments directed by the statutes . Leave was then given to bring in the Bill .

      Captain Pechell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Titbe Recovery Act ( 5 th and 6 th Wm . IT . } , and to take away the jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts in all matters relating ta tithes of a pertain amount Mr . F . Macle moved to bring in a Bill on the subject of county courts . He noticed the evil of separate Acts for the recovery of small debts in separate districts , leading to different practices in different p ' . necs . His first proposal would be to erSend the jurisdiction of the cointy court * to a larger sum than at present ; he ¦ would suggest £ 20 . He would make them ambulatory ¦ within their own districts . He wouid have a Judge for each , to be appointed by the Government at a fixed salary . He would abolish all written pleadiegg , and make a summons the only process . On any amount snder £ 5 the Jodie might decide without a Jury ; on

      any larger amennt a Jury might be demandable by either party . The parties themselves ihould be eiamlnaMe , and no ¦ witness should be incompetent on the Eoore of interest . He would give to the court a jurisdiction also in the recovery of small tenements . The patronage at the Government , under such a system , would doubtless be considerable ; but , in fact , it existed already , for the Chancellor , at present , appointed the J adze" under -every one of the locil Acts . It was not in contemplation to take away the jurisdiction of Hundred Courts cr Courts of Bequests ; though he certainly did believe that the county courts would soon withdraw their business from Hum . The Judge was not to practise at the Dai ; and hi 3 salary was to be at first £ 800 , and to In crease , as business should in c rease , until it reached a . maximum of £ 1 , 500 . An analogous measure had been introduced into Scotland with the best effect .

      Mx . Eitaxt ob se rv e d , that Ireland also had a similar benefit , in her institution of assistant barristers They , however , were permitted to practise at the bar ; snd this had its advantage , in keeping the judges familiar with the law . He -wished to carry the principle of the measure yet farther than the Government bad proposed , by substituting throughout the kingdom stipendiary magistrates for the present justices ol the peace . Mr . Wood { of Middlesex ! deprecated this last suggestion , and while he approved the present measure , jet he cautioned the Husse against allowing this new class of magistrates to absorb the criminal as -well as the civil administration of

      justice-Mr . Hujck agrred in the views of Mr . Ewart He ; did not think the money would be badly laid out in j these salaries , but he wiihed the limit of the jurisdiction extended to £ 100 . Mr . Hawes concurred in this wish . It -was so

      important to vet judicial appointment in the Crown , thafc he trusted the patronage would net be au objection . It might safely be exercised by the Lord Chancellor or ths Lord Chitf Justice . Mr . ( yCosrzu . eonsiaerea the chief defect of the bin to be , that it did not combine the criminal -with the civil juriBdictios . It constituted & paralytic judge , alive on the civil side , but dead on the criminal . Th « courts of the present magistrates irere certainly no ! the courts of the poor mas . He should be very sorrj to see any of the patronage given to judges , except tin Chancellor , who was a re ^ pocslble Minister of the Crown . It would destroy the political independence of the joniar bar to put their promotion in the hands « f the Lord Chief Justice . Mx . GaLLT Knight objected to the notion of substituting stipendiary magistrates for the present unpaid magistracy , and would feel great jealousy of aay measurs having that tendency .

      Mr . JTilliees thought there was nothing in the preseat proposal to excite either jealousy or -alarm . Mr . Cresswell apprehended great dissatisfaction to suitors if they were forced into a court from which there wsuld be no appeal ; and great expence to them , if appeals wers allowed , into which tiiey could be inveigled by low practitioners . He vindicated the i ¥ ar from the imputation \ hat they would be corrupted ! "by patronage , is the hands of the Judges . Tke Judges j ± tkd now for some years had the appointment of the " revising barristers , but no decline of independence had followed . f Mr . Fox Mavle deemed it best to abstain for the present from giving compulsory jurisdiction for a higher amount than £ 20 . The County Court * had already , and would still possess , power to decide upon larger amounts , " where both the parties consented . Leave having keen given for this BUI ,

      Mr . fox Matjlb moved the introduction of another anaected with it , and enabling the Chancellor to direct Hie referenes to County Courts of that bnnneM in bankruptcy which , in the country , is now devolved « pon lo « Jt C ommi s si oners . The same sort of reference xoigbt be > iakde in country eases of insolvency . And the Coaqf / Court might also with advantage take the busi-Bea )« f lunacy in the country . The number of Judge * to b » proposed in the farmer Bill , which would probably ** l # cnt twsnty-five , might be expected to suffice for & >• whole business committed to them by both Bills ; bet ^ leit they should be unable to transact it all , he had ' , rssjiedin this second Bill & po-sTtr to the CbMce ' doT of ^ BCftsing their number .

      Mr . Hawes was « u » the measure would grrogreat satisfaction to the mercantile interests ; and leave was given to introduce the BilL On the motion of Mr . Emeksok TBMNEXT . theHouM went into committee on the laws affecting the copyright of designs ; and be then proposed an extension of the term of three months , the present limit of protection , to ? a ' term of twelve months . Mr . M . Philips was unfavourable to the change . Mr . LABorcHEBB donbted the expediency of extending the term beyond half a year . Mr . CoLquHOcrt supported the motion . Mr . Mokrisos thought six months sufficient Mr . Williams objected to all change . Mr . Sergeant Talfocrd continued to desire protectection for works of invention . . Mr . CCoshbll to an advocate for the twelve months term .

      Mr . Hcke said , this was going a great deal too far ; indeed , he and Mr . Brothebto 5 , who fallowed him , saw no necessity for any protection at all . Mr . Wabburto * thought it hazardou to take to long a term as twelve months . M * . E .-TK 33 ENT replied ; and the Chairman was instructed to move ths House for leave to bring in a Bill in accordance with Mr . E . Teunent ' s proposal ; which was done , and leave granted . Mr . O"Con * ell moved for various returns relating to licensed victuallers ; after which , Mr . Divett asked leave to bring in a Bill for allowing Jews to make the declaration contained in the Acts 1 and 2 Victoria , chap . 5 and 15 , on admission to corporate offices . He thought it but just to put the Jews on the same footing with the Quakers and the Moravians .

      Sir Robert I . nglis resisted this motion . Hebelieved there was only oae individual vrhoru such a Bill would benefit—namely , Mr . David Salomons , who had petitioned the House upon the subject . His own olytction was , that this concession would be used as an argument for ulterior measures . The Jews were not to be considered as a peculiar sect but as a separate nation ; and they had , therefore , no claim to municipal or political franchisee in England . Mr . Wabburto * said , that Sir Robert Inglis , if he treated them as aliens , ought to bring in a Bill for excluding them from property in land . No evil was stated which theii admission would involve . Gentlemen had complained last year of Mehemet Ali for his alleged persecution of the Jews , but really their on civil persecution of that people was just as bad .

      . Mr . Gladstone said Mr . Warburton had illustrated Sir R . Inglis ' s ol jection , in arguing that because Jews are permuted to enjoy the privilege of holding land , therefore Jews must be admitted to ulterior privileges . He would not , however , resist , tke introduction of the BilL Mr . Hawes asserted the right of every subject of the Crown to partake all political privileges , without reeptct to his religious opinions . He hoped the Bill would lead to a full discussion of the whole subject in some of the further stages . Mr . A . White said that a respectable constituent of his own at Sunderland had been excluded by the existing law from a corporate office to which he had been elected . ] f we wished to convert the Jews , we ought to act on the Christian principle of doing to them as we woald that they should do to us .

      Mr . Ditett said a few words in reply , and leave ¦ vras given to introduce the Bill . The House then adjourned till Thursday .

      ACCIDENT AT CASTLE DOUGLAS . BREAKING DOWN OF A CHARTIST MEETING R OOM . TO TIIE EDiTOB OF THE . VORTHEBX STAR . Dear Sir , —It is a painful task , at any Ume , to announce accidents , and to appeal to the public in behalf of the sufferers . On the present occasion , I regret t © state , that a very severe accident occurred at CastJe Douglas , on Friday , the 5 th of Febraar / , through which a number of working men have suffered severe injuries , and some of them , I fear , may be disabled lor life . I . shall state the simple facts of the case , and leave the subject -with my brother Chartists , who have , on all occasions , so nobly a'ded the imprisoned , supported the unfortunate , and upheld their character for generosity and justice .

      On my arrival at Castle Douglas , according to previous appointment , I learned that Mr . Maitland , of Gels ton Castle , and other scrubs in the neighbourhood , had rattled in their carriages , and calling some of the magistrates together , as well as visiting the tradesmen who bad the letting of the Mason's Lodge , prohibited my proposed aieeting in any of the public rooms in the torts . I resided , in my boyhood , many years in Castle Douglas . I have not beea there sine * I was publicly engaged in the political movement ; therefore thtr * was-an unusual ai xiety to hear my proposed ltcture . to

      A workroom beljc ^ ing Mr . Inglis , coach builder , was , at leng th , procured , and long before the hour of mtcung the working men flocked in from all the surrounding villages . The ro ? m was packed fn'l , but the joists were never intended to carry such an unusual burden , and the consequence was that the greater part ' - if the flooring gave ¦ w-y , and so-. ne 500 people were cast do-srn with dreadful fcreo on the top of eueh other and into the apartment beneath , where a 6 cene of confusion ensued which totally baffles ail description . 1 was detained in conversation by one of the magistrate * , who , together with a great number of the

      aid-. dle-cli £ s were bending their steps to the meeting room , and but for that fortunate circumstance , . v ery i one is of opinion that & difference of two minutes or I less / would have settled all matters of dispute between i the Government and the •* little Doctor . " As it wae , i many of the shopk eepers , and one or two medical men went down in the melee—however , with their ns'iil ' good fortune , they escape . l scut free . The whole mia-; chief fell upon a number of unlucky working men , said '¦ ¦ God knows , their ¦ weakened frames , stinted in nourish-I ment , contributed much to their hcljlesanesss , and adds ! to iheir misfortunes .

      | I regret to say that some very severe injuries were , sustained , from a compound fr . tcture in the leg to a ; simple bruise on the bead—fortunately , no lives were ; lost . A number of working men are , consequently so I seriously injured as to be utterly unable to pursue tbeir ; usuil tradts , and , I Imagine , it is on '; y necessary to mention this to secure a public subscription from the 1 peop le—from all , at least , whose means -will enable ¦ them to soothe the sufferings of the pour and put a halm upon the wounds of the injured . 1 Mr . Aitken , bookseller , an d Mr . Blair , butcher , Crude Djirglas , will be happy to receive acd distribute i contributions . | I remain , dear Sir , j Yours sincerely , j On behalf of the Castle Duuglas s-iSercrs , I P . M'DOUALL .

      ; THE PROTECTED CAPITALIST AND HIS CAI PITAL . AGAINST THE UNPROTECTED j LABOURER AND HIS LABOUR . j Droylsdtrn is at this time one scene of poverty , j misery , distress , sta rv atio n , and w a n t , in consequence I of the late turn-out of the power-loom weavers . A few ! years ago . several gentlemen ( save the mark . ' ) from the J tjwn of Stockport , built a large factory in this village ; j their original intention was to have made it into a hat i manufactory , but finding it impossible to bring th « men into so do » 9 a compass as that , they tho u g ht they j mi ^ ht just do as thty thought proper with them ; they took a second consideration , and converted it into a cotton-bell , to fill which , with a sufficient number of j hands , they the masters ) made great promises , and , held out great hopes to the -work-people , which had the ! desired effect in procuring them . People came thither

      from almost every tjwn and village in Liacashire and Cheshire . But , mark the sequel ! No sooner bad they got them there , than the m vsters began to practice all sorts of tyranny , making good the old adage , " we have you fas : dot , and we can do what we like

      with you . " About three weeks since , the masters gave notice of an abatement , to the tune of five shillings , from bvery four loom weaver . The hands whispered among themselves , and resolved to resist it by turning out , which the masters gut wind of , but took no notice until a few hours btfore the expiration of the noiice , when the hands were surprised by the sudden stoppage of the engine ; and , upon inquiry , they w ere t'j'd something was amirs with it . This is a trick which has been repeate liy resorted to , under similar circumstances ; the main and sole object of which was to prevent the wearers from getting in thtir cuts , arid in the event of their not returning to their work at the reduced price , to cheat the hands out of some two , some 'three , and some four each , which according to Cotton Law would be forfeited . The masters , in

      erder . to carry out their robbery and villacT , sent for a band of blue bottle police , to guard , to be sure , the master ' s property , and intimidate the turn-3 uts ; overlookers , lickspittles , and understrappers , were sent to sc » ur the surrounding towns for the surplus people , who were out of employment , to bring in as knobsticks . Not satisfied even with that , they used their inflaence on every occasion , where they had any , in preventing the turnouts from , procuring work at other mills . In one ins t ance , two young women went to Ashton , and got a shop , but no Booner did the masters hear of tiv . a than they sent one of their tools in the shape of a man , but who is certainly a disgrace to human nature , to Ashton , who saw the females , and pro m is e d t h e m i f they would but return , the condition would be , that they would have their looms again , a n d s h ould , in addition to that , have the best work . The unsuspecting

      lasses took them at their word , and left their situations , and returned to Droylsden with the fall expectation of having their looms again according to promise , but alas ! it was all delusion . ' On approaching their old masters , they were told to go about their business ; after persuading them to leave the place they were then at , and not only so , but they have forfeited what work they had done at the Ashton shop , and rendered themselves less liable to procure work any where else ; being , no doubt , set down in the black bock , with a full description of their persons , names , and ages . This is a species of iuperl&tive rascality , treachery , and black-hearted deception . By the exertion of the tools , nearly the number of hands have been procured to supply the places of those who turned out , and the consequence is , that the rest are now walking the lanes , not -knowing what to do . The masters have declared never to have them again , and what aggravate * the thine

      mom is , tha whole families wwk « d at this mill , and , of course , th « y have all met the tame fate . The- spinners and dressert woe compelled by the matters to send tbeir wives and children into the factory ; all who were able , till others could be fetched , or otherwise they must likewise be discharged . Those overlookers and lickspittles , who could and did practise most spite and malignity toward ! the tarn-oats , were best received by the masters ; while , on the contrary , those who bad hearts and could feel for their fellow-creaturei , and could not act the rogue , fool , and knave , were sent about their business—humanity and sympathy being commodities unknown to these factor / tyrannical cotton lerds . The work , before the abatement , was very bad , and the poor people were only able

      to get as much as kept them living from hand to mouth , at this very Inclement season of the year , and what they will do now , God only knows . The hesds of the families will have to wander up and down the country , in search of work , leaving their poor wives and children at the mercy of providence and chance , and perhaps for months before they will succeed , to say nothing of the expence of removing their goods . Will it be believed , that these masters are celebrated as promoters of religion , temperance , and morality ; subscribe to the various charitable institutions ; and that their names are blazed about in the different reports , as though they were the most

      immaculate saints in Christendom ? These greedy , grasping , grinding , robbing , plundering villains , are as mealymouthed , and make as much profession as though they were the most pure , virtuous , and harmless creatures in the world ; but , by their conduct , they prove themselves the most odious wretches , and are guilty of cant , hypocrisy , brutality , hard-heartedness , cruelty , and blasphemy . They laugh , jeer , sneer , and exult at the triumph they have achieved over their helpless dependants—a disgrace to religion , to humanity , to society , and to every thing virtuous , honourable , and praiseworthy . The hatters and colliers are yet out , and are no nearer coming to a settlement .

      fcEEDS . —National Charter Association . — Three lectures were given in the new room of this society , corner of Cheapaide , Shambles , by Mr . Benjamin Rushton of Halifax , two on Sunday last , in the afternoon and evening , and one in the even * ing of Monday , which were well attended and appeared to give general satisfaction . A meeting of the members of the Association was held on Tuesday eveaing , when the income and expenditure of the previous month was laid before the society ; after the election of a fresh Committee , and other business of importance , it was agreed that Mr . Pitkethlev , of Hudderafield , be put in nomination at the West Riding delegate meeting , as a fit and proper person to represent the West Riding in the forthcoming

      National DelegateMeetmgto be held m Manchester . BAliFORD . —The Association met here on Sunday evening , and were again disappointed by the nonattendanpeof Mr . Buttertrorth , of which we hear loud complaints . More than 3 s . was collected towards defraying the expence of the Frost , Williams , and Jones Committee . The members are increasing : and , through the exertions of the Committee , the town is being organised into classes . The conduct of Mr . Nightingale , in going to Walsali to aid the Tory against the Whig , met with the reprobation of the meeting ; as no good Chartist can conscientiously assist either Whig or Tory . An amusement class meets every Saturday evening , to keep our members from the public house . Mr . Leach will lecture en Sunday evening .

      BRADFORD . —Discussion—According to announcement in the Star of last week , a discussion was held on Tuesday evening last , at the Hope and Anchor Inn , Market-street , between the Chartists and the members of the Parliamentary Reform Association . At the time for commencing , the large room was erowded to exoess , a great majority of them ChartiBts . Mr . S . Sowden , of Horton , was appointed chairman for the Chartists , and Mr . G , Sugden for the Household Suffrage party . Mr . H . Burnett , Chartist , entered with ability , and at great length , into the question ; and was met by Mr . Wilkinson . The discussion was continued at great length , until half-past ten o ' clock , by Messrs .

      Smith , Hodgson , Arran , and Burnett , CharthtB ; and Messrs . Jackson , Shackleton , and Wilkinson , Household Suffrage men , bub professed Republicans . Mr , Hodgson rose , and proposed the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Oddy : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting , the Government of the country has , by degrees , become so corrupt , that nothing short of Universal Suffrage will eradicate the evils it has engendered . " Mr . C . Wilkinson proposed an amendment , which was seconded , and about six hauds held up for it . Great cheers and clapping of hands followed this result .

      On Monday evening , was held the first anniversary meeting of tfie members of the Leeds Fox and Goose Club , on which occa&ion tho " birds and beasts" assembled in the Saloon of the Music Hall , in Albion-street , their numbers probably amounting to three hundred . At eight o ' clock Mr . Fox Stansfeld , followed by his tail , made bis appearance in the orchestra , and without ceremony seated himself on the chair—Fox Cummins acting the part of fugle-man , and the geese clapping their wings in token of satisfaction . The Chairman , as in ducy bound , apologised for the absence of the chief Fox ( Marshal ]) by saying he had gone to get mated , and , therefore , could not come . The then assembly , he said , ought to have been earlier convened , but it , like everything else , had given way to their recent ' * triumphant"

      demonstration , on which he was sure every individual goose would look back with pride and pleasure , and not believe what the envious disposition of their enemies had suggested , that this their pet scheme was a failure , and themselves were taken captive by the naughty Chartists . ( Symptoms of uneasiness , accompanied by great elongatiou of the collinc portion of tha frame ; , wore visible amongst the geese at this announcement . ) These insinuations , he said , were thrown out by the Tories and physical-force Chartists , who , although there was a wide difference betweeu them , had united to frustrate their favourite demonstration , which , in Bpite of all , had passed peaceably off , demonstrating to the world tbat tho Leeds geese were not of that vulgar kind , lacking brains , but were , like those of old , which , by their cackling , saved from destruction the Roman c » pitol .

      Mr . Fox Suilks , ( . who toeakiy does tho amiable for "Mother Goose ") was then requested to make his bow , and favour the flock with a report of all the benefits which had resulted to them from their leaguo with the foxes . This union of theirs , he said , was viewed with complacency by liberal-minded foxes in every part of the empire , and particularly by the great dog-fox from Ireland , whose recent presence amonirsttttem , ( although he only came to eat and drink , ) had produced & deep and lasting im-{ iression throughout tho whole tribe , proving that a cordial and happy ^ anion had at length been cemented between those who had been hitherto looked upon as enemies , and offering the best guarantee that the foxes would no longer pick the bones of the geese ,

      provided always that the latter suffered the former to rule the " roost" after their own fashion , only such gee ? e as had golden eggs and well-feathered nest : ? , being allowed to have a voice in the management of their own affairs . This , tho document he had drawn up considered as the very climax of perfection ; and when it was granted that ( heir votes should be given iu secret , without a chance of one goose knowing what the other had done , it was clear that their condition must be so materially bciufitted as to leave them nothing to desire . Besides this , however , he could assure them the foxes would , as soon as the gceso furnished the means , provide them with a public building , in which they might assemble if they behaved themselves , and did not seek to set themselves up above their " natural protectors "

      and leaders ; this building , in order that it might contribute to their intelligence , they intended to supply with books and newspapers , but only mich as met their own views . Tho geese received the announcement with great complacency , and fluttered their feathers with delight . Mr . Fox Goodman moved that the document which Fox Smiles had submitted to them be approved and adopted . He looked upon the union as the nucleus of an organization which must keep the Tories from political power , itself an important consideration , as every thing they had to hope for was iu the preservation of the present government , under whose protection both foxes and geeso would ba bolter and safer than they would bo under the Tories .

      Mr . Goose Martin , in an address of an hour's duration , seconded the motion . He said they had formed the most powerful Association ever established in this country—an Association whoso end and aim were the welfare and happiiiess of the whole community of geese , lie congratulated them on the peculiarly appropriate title which tVey had obtained , and which had been bestowed upon them by the Northern Star . [ Whan the speaker styled the title appropriate , he cast a furtive glance at the foxes by whom he was surrounded , who showed their teeth slightly , but the geese were in extacies , and cackled load and long . ] lie contended that the present House of Comtootia did not represent the wishes pf tfee ~ g « se , but -was a tool in the hands of the

      aristocratic foxes * . Tho suffrage must be extended , but what \ hat extension should be , could only bo ascertained by knowing how far it would be conducive t , o the public good . Ho held up to admiration the example of Republican America , and drew a forcible contrast between the institutions of that country and ' those of our own , adding that though under present circumstances , he did not consider it politic to advocate republican doctrines , their tribes not having beooino suffijiontly enlighiened to receive them ; yet ho was convinced that to this it must come at last , and the sooner the better . [ Tiie geese hereupon flaw up in ex&acie 3 , while the foxes exchanged suspicious looks . ] Order beine restored , and tho speaker having retired to

      his seat , Mr . Fox Goodman again rose , and said he could not permit it to go forth , that the Leeds Royal Loyal Fox and Goose Club advocated such principles aa those promulgated by the lust speaker—it should not emanate from that assembly , that they were the advocates of Republicanism ; because , were uch doctrines to prevail , the foxes would lose their power , and it was one of the deoroe 3 of I ' rovidcnco that as both foxes and geese had always been in the land , so they should always continue . The geese did not lifcjtois ; aad Martiu again stood forward . It was « v « lBtetha ! . he had " put the cat amona tho

      pigetiflgaHlpby way of satisfying the fi > xes , and calming « le » fears tor the safety and preservation of their order , he said he had qualified his observations , and he again repeated that in tho proseat state of the public mind he did not think it advisable to advocate but merely to enunciate his opinions . This having in some measure restored tho unanimity of feeling , Mr . Fox Cummins rose to support tho motion , which he did in a speech which no goo 3 e could understand , for this plain reason , that ho could cot understand it himself , but took care to ninke it imprcSfiire by furious grimace and harlequinade . The rcsolutioa was then put and carried .

      Mr . Fox Fli-st , the master m : nd of the taeetiug , moved the next resolution , which was as follows . *—That this Association holds itself fully warranted in the steps it has hitherto taken , and the measures it has Li&erio adopted , with the view ot carrying ou ;

      Untitled Article

      VaB principle * of publie liberty ; and resolves to eontinue strenuously to exert itself in bringing about a union between the middle and working classes , and in working out such an enlargement of the representation as shall secure good Government foe all elatses of the community . His doctrine was for free trade which , when carried out to its fall extent , he contended , was the only principle that could secure the comfort and happiness of the working geese . The resolution was seconded by Mr . Goose Speed , and carried unanimously . The next resolution , as follows ,

      That thU meeting especially recommends to the in-coming committee to adopt such measures as may to them appear the most advisable to increase and extend knowledge on the aulgect of political science : and , in so far as practicable , to carry out the scheme originally projected , of reading looxaa , libraries , and regular courses of public lectures , was moved by Mr . Fox Smiles , seconded by Mr . Fox Nichols , and carried . Mr . Fox Grben moved , and Mr . Goose Robinson seconded , That the Association considers the great demonstration lately held in Leeds , to have effectually answered , the purposes which it was intended to accomplish , having tended to promote union between the middle and -working clasBes , and to give an impulse to public opinion on the great question of organic changes and reforms . —Carried .

      Mr . Fox Bower was received with loud cackling from the geese . He had not much to say ; but as he had known Baines for many years , he conld not help telling their Chairman that he was a much cleverer Fox than Bainea , as the excellent articles which he had recently published in the Leeds Times , clearly proved ; in fact , it was evident Baines could not half write like him . He moved That the cordial thanks of the Association be given to those Members of Parliament , and others , who have hitherto bo zealously aided ua in our tfforta to extend the representation to the working classes ; and to the strangers from various parts of England , Scotland , and Ireland , who lately met with us in friendly discussion , on the means of accomplishing the important end we have in view .

      The resolution was seconded by Mr . Goose Bdt-TERWORTH , who declared that he had been highly gratified by the conduct of the Chartists at the Demonstration . ( " Hush , hush , " from the Foxes , with " Quack , quack , " from the Geese . ) The resolution woe carried . The following names were then submitted to constitute the committee for tha ensuing year : —

      FOXES . GEESE . James Q . Marshall Edward Sunderland Hamer Stansfeld Andrew Keenan George Goodman Joseph NichoIIg H . C . Marshall William Nicholls , Jun .

This being the only business , and it being nearly eleven o ' clock , the geese became exceedingly anxious to go to roost ; the Chairman therefore gave them leave to retire , which they did , cackling at they went on the good things they had heard ; but showing a determination to havo a little of their own way , in Bpite of the claws and teeth of the foxes .

      1 OU 6 BBOROUGH . —Doings at the Bastilb . —Much excitement has been in this town during the laet week , in consequenca of the rumoared severity practised by the new master and mistress , on the inmates , who have , in some cases , rebelled ; and hence the police have have been called in . Inconsequence , a public meeting was hold on Monday night , the 8 ; h inst ., when the following letter , sent out of the houeo to a friend , was read : — " We now make bold to trouble you with these few lines , to make known a few of the hardships under which we , the poor iu this union , labour . In the case of mothers and children , they have separated them altogether , from one year old and upwards , and neither are allowed to see one another ; and thoso

      who do suck , arc only allowed to suck twice during tho day ; and they also refuse the able-bodied men tho privilege of seeing their wives at all ; aud , in the case of the children , they are stopt their allowance of food if they h&ppin to wot or dirty the bed . Now , they havo issued fresh orders , denying the friends of any one bringing any trifle into them , such as a little tea , sugar , or tobacco ; and likewise from coming to see them , except for two hours during the week ; and one nightduring this week they have paraded the able-bodied men ' s sleeping room with the police , and relieving officer , and assistants ; and Iikcwiso fetched the police to take a man to the black-hole , for smoking a pipe of tobacco during the dinner-hour ; aud another was threatened with the

      worst , for persisting to see his wife , when it was expected she was almost at the point of death ; and another was put in the hole for taking one small potato , when getting some in for the use of the house ; and another , on being told that his child was sick of the measles , atked permission to see it on Sunday , and was refused ; and another who had an old pair of trousers given him on his admission into the house , that were cracked on the knee , on sitting down burst them through , for which he was kept on bread and water all the day ; and all the able-bodied men have been obliged to stand out in the snow , during the past hard weather , breaking stones . So ,

      hoping that you will make it as public as possible . If you think it worth insertion , it being only a sketch of some of our hardships , as we have not the opportunity of writing what we could state ; but all are facts which the bearer can vouch for ; so no more from the sufferers in tho Loughborough union , and friends of the cause of liberty . " A deputation was appointed to wait on the acting overseer , requesting him to call a public meeting , that an investigation may take place as to the truth of tho reports . The deputation waited on him on Tuesday the 9 th ; and , in his hauds , tho subject remains at present .

      FROM OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , February 11 / A , Haff-past Seven . Money Market and City News . —This has been a dull week in commercial affairs , whatever it may have been in Court circles . Failures have occurred in different branches of trade , which exhibit , generally , very ruinous accounts ; and timid persons are afraid to launch out , lest these should lead to other mishaps , by which they might bo injured . The prevailing feeling seems to be , that " prudeut" men will desist from entering upon any extensive operations , until they see what the" course of events" will bring forth ; and in this respect , the opinion expressed in my la * t , has received additional confirmation during the past three days ; when one of those sudden changes to which tho " money juggle" is liable was experienced . I rked

      rema , last week , that money was unusually abundant , and that the rate of interest had fallen , arid was falling . This state of affiirs has suffered a complete reverse since Monday morning ; as the market has now become what tho jobbers denominate " tight ; " that is , a gradual but complete advance of the rate of interest has taken place , without any apparent forced action on the part of the Bank , or other moving power , to account for the alteration . At the same time that money became more valuable 1 out of door , " the demand for if has been increased on tho Stock Exchange , by a eucoession of heavy sales of money stock by various leading firms , which have-abstracted much of the "loose tin"from the market . First-rate bills , with good deposits as security , cannot be *» melted" under five per cent . ; and through * secondary channel , a corresponding douceur must bo the accompaniment .

      FROM OUR MANCHESTER CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , Feb . lUh . On Thursday evening , at a pnblio meeting , held in the Association Room , Tib-street , a Commi ttee was chosen for the purpose of taking into consideration the case of Mitchell and . Daries , the two Stockport Chartists , who have been imprisoned eighteen months in Chester Castle , and whose tena of imprisonment expired on Tuesday morning But , in consequence of such excessive bail being demanded—one thousand pounds each , ( and for men who could only earn about 18 s . or £ 1 per weekj The Stockport Committee could not pro jure it * and Mr . Clarke , the Secretary , came to Manchester and related the circumstances under which thev

      were placed . The Manchester Committee met on Wednesday morning , about ten o ' clock , whose first step was to despatch a messenger to Stockport , to ascertain whether a letter had arrived from the prisoners , and adjourned to wait an answer . At three o ' clock they met again , but received no letter . This put the Committee to a stand , not knowing which way to proceed : some were for petitioning my Lord Normanby , while others were for taking different steps ; but ultimately it was agreed to adjourn till this morning , expecting a letter , and a person was deputed to wait at the Kailway-oince .

      at three o ' clock to-day , to see if one came . He hag done so , but we are sorry to say thero was no letter . The prisoners have been written to again , and tho committee meet to-night at eight o ' clock ; every preparation was made for a splendid demonstration * but it is thought the authorities have interfered for the purpose of stopping it . Thompson , who was committed at the same time andfor the same offence , and sentenced to the same term of imprisonment , has been out several weeks on his own recogniziuoe , Wright , Smith , Bellamy , Scott , and many others , have also come out upon the same terms , but whether these will , remains to be seen .
