      priaeipal of tfca . O'Ca&niU Teetotal Brewery . There are many persons in England under the impression that Mr . O'Connell ' s twenty shillings" sapport of Irish manufacture , has had the effect of retiring trade and maaofacHim in Ireland , sereral of whom hare tone over here , in the hope of obtaining employment as operatives , some of whom haying tend to their cost , tiut that too , is delusion , applied to tbe Lord Mayor within tbe last week , for the means to return to England . But-this application was indignantly and scornfully refused . The want of Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s Irish Landlord and Tenant Bill is unfortunately beginning to mani fast itself , in the shooting of a » me heartless landlard # , r « rh « hare turned « ot tbeir tenantry without

      aay compensation for the bouses they built , or the waste lawls they reclaimed . This is what th * Right Hon . Biobard Lalor Shell calls " wild juatiee . — Correspondent . Thx I&ish Ujuvxbsal SorraAQi JUsocu . no > held their usual meeting ea Sunday- last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Anoe-etreet , Mr . William Woodward in the chair . The Secretary read the minutes of the last meeting ; he also read letters from Mr . T . Clarke , of Stoekport , aad from Mr . A . Bairstow , of Droyisden , Maaehester , both letters testifying tbe good dispoktiofc the people of England have towards their suffering brethren in Ireland , and giving a melancholy account of the condition of tbe working classes , and proving that nothing short of tbe principles contained in the People ' s Charter can remedy this present wretched condition . —Mr . ( VHipginn rfiSd And read a letter requesting him to propose as members of the Irish Universal Suffrage Association- three most respectable

      freeholders of the county of Longford . Mr . James Hayes moved tbe admission of Mr . Walter . Fortune and Mr . William Winters . Mr . Wood rose and said , that he had been lately to Scotland , and had there seen the great friend of the produc tive classes , Feargns O'Connor , sad . hid learned from that gentleman that when b& had made his tour of Scotland , be would Tint " £ is dear native land . " Mr . O'Connor was everywhere except at the Corn Exchange acknowledged to be tbe working man ' s friend , aad it was because he advocated tho 5 e principlea which alone can ameliorate their present and fatore condition that he was maligned and bated by the enemies of public liberty . Mr . Wood went into a Ineid statement of facts , respecting tbe condnct of Mr . O'Connor and bis disinterestedness , which called forth the pl * udite of tbe meeting . Mr . Wood eonelndari a taosi effective speech by mor ' tng that ffiaTgas . O'Connor , Esq ., be admitted . ( Great

      cheering . ) Mr . Drat rose and said , it was with peculiar pleasure he seconded the- motion of Mr . Wood . It was rather anomalous that Mr . O'Connor should he the leader of the miilliooa of Englishmen and Scotchmen , and as jet without a place in tbeir association . He was surprised bow any Irishman coald be so blinded by prejudice as not to see with admiration their fellow countryman so grounded in the confidence , and so high in the estimation ef the people el Great Britain . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . 0 Coonor was . as yet impeccable as a patriot ; he had neither accepted any thing for himself , nor provided tot his <* Mm » ¥ » fmfi ( as others had done . All he bad get was abase , persecution , and a most severe and unjust imprisonment . Hi » eaergies , however , seemed only strengthened , and he was now strenuously engaged in a work the most

      m-gmfioeat , aa "well ae ihe most virtooos , ¦ which it ever fell to tie lot of maa to perform—the political elevation and moral enlightenment of the people . Other political leaders had sought , and were seeking , changes for the benefit of classes , bat Mr . O * Cossior struggled fox thw people . He sought to effect a junction with tbe Irish Repealers . Woe to those , said Mr . Djot , who ibuaed , ihe influence bestowed on them by a credulous and confiding people , to prevent ^ nob junction . ( Hear . ) But Mr . O'Connor should learn that there were in Ireland men who were too acute to be deluded or deceived ; wno appreciated the aid proffered by tbe Chartists of Great Britain , and were ready to make common canae with those with whom they had common

      interests . ( Hear , hear . ) Their association was rapidly ramifbating through the country , and every Besting day sew members were enrolled . The expositions made in that room were so lucid as to carry conviction to any man not obstinately adverse to trath aad good sense . He hoped the day Was not far distant when they should hare a . press in Dahlia to , " represent them ; then would ibis Asso ciation advance and astound and confound the enemies of the productive classes , whose interests alone ought to be agitated for by , at least , those whom they say . He was proad to be instrumental in affording their fellow-cvantryman this mark of their

      sympathy , respect , and confidence ; and he bad no doubt they would admit Mr . O'Connor with acclamation and eheers . Mr . Wood again rose aad said , be bad another Irishman to propose for admission ; an Irishman , though in an humble sphere , was distinguished in the country in which he resided for his inflexible integrity , sterling patriotism , and great talent , Mr . Coa Murray , tbe nailor , member of tbe Lanark Gniversal Suffrage Association . ( Great cheering . ) Mr . James Hayes claimed the honour as a brother chip , of seconding the admission of Mr . Murray . Mr . Michael il'Quaid , of Liverpool , was admitted a member ; after which be wa& called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when the meeting separated .

      PRESTON . —On Monday evening last , a very ntmiero&B and respectable meeting was held in the Chartist lioom , Avenham-street , to tike into consideration tbe a ! arming state of the country , with a view to some efficient remedy , and the adoption of a petition to Parliament , expressive of tbe warns and wishes of the meeting . Mr . R . . Walton being unanimously called to the chair , opened tie meeting by observing that he hoped every one would be beard with patience , whatever might be bis political opinions . —Mr . E . SwindJehurst then rose , and in a very energetic speech pointed out tbe unjust power of class legislation , its consequences upon tbe rights of labour , and tbe inevitable destruction it caused to the happiness of she country , and moved tbe

      following resolution : — " That , in tbe opinion of this meeting , the alarming distress that prevails through onr once happy land , aad mast of the erils that afflict society , is caused by class legislation ; anJ being oonvivwdtiir . taxation , without representation , is tyranny , we hereby pledge oareelves to united aQd unceasing exertion ^ to obtain the People ' s Charter as a means of preveniing tuiureabuses in all our institutions , raking the prccucrive ' classes to their proper position in society , and by thus removing cause for discontent , enable ali to live , in peace and comfort . " Mr . J . Murphy seconded the resolution , and made some excellent remarks on the objects of faction and party who had endeavoured to direct the attention of itbe wording classes from their agitation

      for the Charter , and concluded by - advising them to join no agitation , short of tiio one thing needful , tbe People ' s Charter . Mr . R . Marsden was then introduced to the meeting , and for npwards of an hour , made a withering exposure of our present system of Government , Rhich patronised extravagance , profligacy , and injustice ; showed up the monopoly of toe land , church , army , navy , and the wheZe parapherB&lia of the system . - lie then explained , in a masterly manner , rts five points of the Charter , and the necessity of tbeir adoption ; and implored bis hearers to maie -another determined , lc ^ al , and constimfcional struggle for their losg-los ; rights , without which tbeir situations would never be better . A person in tbe body of the meetiog then rose , and oommeneed a very lengthy address upon tbe evils of the Corn Laws . He wis listened to with great patience a considerables time , unto be commenced telling his neaiers there was no

      hope in carrying tbe Charter , and advised them to join the middle classes for a repeal of the Corn Laws . A scene of confusion then arose , when tbe Chairman wished to know it the peison who bad last addressed them had any amendment to propose against the resolution ; for ha eoBoeived that , baring now occupied a ^^ idyr ^^ portion of tbe time of the meeting , and it being sow getting late , he ought , in courtesy for those who had to attend the call of tbe fac : ory bell , early in the morning , desist from his prt&ent proceeding on tMs occasion , except he laad a decided'object in view . Mr . Odieum then rose , and informed the moling that if there were any persona in the room who entertained- the opinion that an agitation for ike repeal otf the Corn Laws was preferable to an agitation for the Char ^ r , he would meet them in discussion , with the leave of the Council , on Sunday evening sext . € his proposition appeared to give general 8 a , 3 s&otkm ; aad the ami-Coin Law party

A man applied at tbe workhouse for relief , and after waiting three hours , he was told that there were so many cases before him , he could not be heard that night ; be had better go home and come again on Wednesday . He said if I get no relief before Wednesday , I shall want none ; and tbe man died on Sunday evening , and was buried on Wednesday . Ought not some inquiry to be made into these pro oeedings ! Leeds Winter Fair . —This fair commenced o Monday morning . Tbe show of horses was as usual miserable , there not being a decent nag of any sort to be seen . The beast market was almost as bad . A man , an adept at knavery , contrived , on Monday forenoon , to sell two beasts , which did not belong to him , for £ 32 , and having got the money he boiled .

      The unlucky purchaser , on attempting to drive away bis bargain , was stopped by the real owner ; the teller has not been since heard of . The statutes , on Tuesday , were well attended by both male and female servants , and we believe many succeeded in getting hired ; the damand for good servants being equal to what it has been for some time . la the pleasure fair there was amusement in abundance . The chief attraction , however , was Wombwell ' s collection of wild beasts ; bat besides Womb well ' s there were two or three smaller collections . There were great crowds to look at them outside ; but we have not heard that they had any of them any extra success . As usual , the pickpockets were in attendance , and sundry handkerchiefs and other articles changed pockets . We have not beard of any very extensive transactions in this line , the police being on tbe alert , by whom several practitioners were seized and looked up .

      SZHOH 1 VE 7 . —On Saturday last , the houses of Mr . Wm . Rhodes , and Mr . David Weatherhead , were entered by three officials , who , in tbe name of the pious Rector , William Busfield , took from the former a good flock , and from tbe latter a mahogany table and desk , for refusing to pay tbeir Easter dues . This barefaced act , so opposed to the spirit of Christianity , committed in the nineteenth century , by a man lately thrust upon the inhabitauts without either their knowledge or consent , is producing a great deal of seu&ation . The goods are to be sold in the Marketplace to-morrow , and a public meeting is to be held to-day ( Wednesday ) to devise means for putting an end to his proceedings . Bills have also been posted , calling the attention of the inhabitants to the guiiject , and there is no doubt that this relic of the dark ages , will find some difficulty in establishing his inquisition iu Keighky .

      BIRMINGHAM . —Masons' Strike . —An adjourned meeting was held at the Grand Turk , Bellstreet , on Wednesday last , at whieh a number of delegates from the various trades and other parties friendly to the stnko of tbe London stonemasons attended . Mr . Roddis , stonemason , was called to the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved of . Delegates from 3 . great number of trades attended , who all promised further support . The meeting was addressed at great length by Mr . George White , and a committee was appointed to arrange for a public meeting of the inhabitants generally in order siiil further to render support . The sum of £ 16 17 s . was banded into the treasurer . The oomimitee meet every Saturday evening to receive subscriptions ; and meetings are held every Wednesday evening , at the Grand Turk , Bell-street , to which all friends are invited .

      CIRENCESTER . —At the weekly meeting on Monday , a discussion on a motion by Mr . Beechatn for a vote of confidence in Messrs . Hetherington , Lovett , and Collins terminated in the adoption of the following amendment : — " That it is tbe opinion of this meeting that Messrs . Lovett , Collins , and Hetheringtou are entitled to the best thanks of the people for their past valuable services in the cause of democracy , and although we admire th-3 ir proposed plan , we consider it at present impracticable .

      We therefore hope they will now , forgetting all that is past of au unpleasant nature , cordially unite with the National Charter Apaociation in preparing for the great campaign cj 1842 , and thereby deserve tbe lasting gratitude of the people ; and that this meeting has full confidence in Fear ^ us O'Connor , Esq ., and return him their sincere thanks , and hope when he is in the Went of England he will vHt Cirencester .

      DDBUK . { From our Correspondent . ) , ,, As I anticipated in the communication of last week , Mr . O'Connell was elected Lord Maypx on Monday last , which has given his followers and expectants great satisfaction . Mr . O CooneU , a short time since , attended a , meeting for the enoonragement of Irish maaufacuire , ftna said that . ^ he bad never yet done anything-for-the working classes , bat thathe would beg'h now and pa ^ -his hand M his pocket , " and paid over to the treasurer , for th « eiiconrsgement of , Irish , m » . nu £ aciare , the m-inifioent subscription of twbntt SHiiiiifGS 111 . Hear tbirf , ye poor exiled , ill-used Irish , txadesmen 1 Here is enoouragement held out to you , W , return to your

      native country . The busy hum of th $ Irish shuttle shall now cheer the heart of the Irish widow , orptian , and matron . Something has at length been done for the working classes . Let it . noverbe forgotten , that the great Liberator , now Lord Mayor of the City of Dublin , has subscribed twenty shillings for the enoouragement of Irish manufacture . As the robe usually wore fay the Lord Mayor was made of scarlet doth , and as there was none to be had of Irish manufacture , the Lord Mayor as a further proof of his determination to support the Irish manufacturers , gave an prder to bis friend , Tom Arkins , tbe cast-olothsman , to get him a robe of Irish scarlet velvet , which robe , after all was but second-hand , as it was worn before the Lord Mayor saw it ; but the best of aU is , that the Lord Mayor

      exhibited himself on the balcony in front of his house , in Merrion-square , to his deluded followers , arrayed in all the gaudy and fantastic habiliments of effice , while at the same time he accused mild , sensible , and unassuming Mr . Crawford of being swallowed up by overweaning vanity . This ridiculous charge afforded infinite amusement to the sensible portion of the citizens of Dublin , notwithstanding which he has a very numerous train of followers , wno place tbe utmost confidence in him , and who labour under the delusive hope that he will ultimatel y achieve some great good , for them . Twelve years experience has not opened their eyes to his political delinquencies" For well th' impostor knows all lures and arts That Lucifer

      The Irish Universal Suffrage Association met on Sunday last , at their great room , No . 14 , North Ann-street , Mr . William OToole in the chair . The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed ; after which the Secretary read a letter from Mr . T . Mooney , of Gowran , Qounty Kilkenny , requesting ^ far-light in that quarter . Mr . O'Higgins read an admirable letter from the R « v . Mr . Ryan , which was received with every mark of respect and approbation . Mr . Atkinson was called upon by the meeting to deliver a short lecture on the principles of the Irish liniversal Suffrage Association , which he did in a masterly style , and during the delivery of which he was much cheered . Mr . Rafter rose to move the admission of

      Mr . Joseph Hammond , who , he said , was an old and tried friend in the cause of tbe people . Mr . Hammond briefly thanked tbe meeting for the honour of being admitted a member . Mr . Dyot rose and said he was glad to have the opportunity of correcting an error into which Mr . Atkinson had fallen . In the course of his admirable address , be said that the members did not agitato sufficiently for the cause . Now he ( Mr . Dyot ) thought it far better to urge the principles of the Charter by reason than by appealing to the passions and prejudices of a people already too much excited , and whose reason was prepossessed by an artful and designing agitator , whose sole object was money , while his ( Mr . Dyot ' s ) object was to call back men to reason and

      experience . He was a worker in the cause of universal political redemption , and he was sure that if one man would endeavour to reform another , the work would go on bravely . He would conclude by proposing for admission one who would be a great auxiliary to them , Mr . M . G . Conwav . ( Cheers . ) - " After which Mr . Conway rose and said , he thanked them for the high honour they had conferred ' upon him , and he begged to assure the meeting that since he had come to the use of reason , he had entertained the opinions advocated by the Chartists of Great Britain and Ireland , and specially set forth > n the People ' s Charter . He admired Mr . O'Connell perhaps more fban any man in Ireland ; he had watched him during ^ is struggle for religious liberty ;

      he had seen him surrounded by tbe talent and eloquence of the oountry , and by the whole of the Catholic priesthood , whose united powers achieved one of the greatest moral victcries with which tbe history of the world furnishes us . It is but justice to Mr . O'Connell to say , that he was the chief mover in the great moral struggle , and is therefore entitled to the honours of tbe viotory , and there ( said Mr . Conway ) his usefulness ended ; for , after Catholic Emancipation , we find him wriggling himself into an allianco with the Whig 3 for the purpose of getting places for his sons , and sons-in-law , from that faction whom he has justly designated as " base , bloody and brutal , " and who , but for the support he gave them , would long

      since have had to resign even before they passed the Poor Law Amendment act that separates husband from wife , and the children from both . Long before he had sees the letters of Mr . Crawford he was opposed to Mr . O'ConnelTs scheme of Repeal , the agitation of which was mere delusion and intended as such . Had Mr . O'Connell been sincere in hiB agitation of that great measure , he could , when he had the people of England and Scotland with him , he could have extorted any measure from the Finality faction , instead of which be multiplied in-the House of Commons , by every means in bis power , tbe enemies of that measure ; in 1837 he not only put the question of Repeal in abeyance , but called upon the Irish

      constituencies to demand no other pledge from the candidates than that of supporting her Majesty ' s Ministers , the sworn enemies of the Repeal of the Union . ( Great cheering . ) Here a man , who said his name was Brennan , and that he was a Repeal Warden and a schoolmaster , made a furious attack upon the Association , which ho said was opposed to the views and interests of Mr . O'Connell . He then turned like a bear on Messrs . Conway and Dyot , who ho said were traitors to O'Connel ) . He then said he was astonished at the conduct of Mr . O'Higgins , whose relations he knew to be honourable and patriotic gentlemen . He came there to call Mr . O'Higgins to account for tbe vote he gave at the municipal elections . Why did he not vote for Mr .

      O'Connell ' s " whole ticket , " for men whom he knew would vote with Mr . O'Connell in everything in the Town Council ? ( Hear , hear , from Mr . O'Higgins . ) Mr . O'Connell ' s Repeal Warden continued vociferating in this strain for a considerable time , to the great amusement of the whole meeting . He ultimately sat down roaring at the top of his voio * " that he never was eo laughed at before . " Mr . O'Higgins rose and gave Mr . O'Ccnnell's unfortunate Repeal warden the most awful castigation that ever man suffered , and so keenly did be feel it , that he nnd his party kept shifting towards the door , Mr . O'Higgins and several members imploring them not to go until they would hear all , but no entreaty could induce them to remain . The meeting wag further addressed by Messrs . Clarke and Wood * Mr . Woodward was called to the chair , and thanks given to the Chairman , when tbe meeting separated , each as he went

      his way laughing at tbo folly and signal defeat of Mr . O'Conneil ' 8 Repeal warden and friends . To the Charttsts . —Recent circumstances have rendered it absolutely necessary that the Chartists of Great Britain ehoald be acquainted with the name ? of the persons who assaulted Mr .

The arnmgemeate and preparations under . tha . man » u / j « n « nt of Mr , Hargreave and his . two Slaughters were everytking . that eould be desired , both as to elegance and comlor i ^ The room was splendidly set out with flf t ^ Srbanners , painUngs , portraifjs , and , other decoraUomj . Over the President ' s chair bung a , fintt portrait of Hunt in a rich gold frame , andJMPediately facing the audience a large oil painting of the bloody field-day of Peterjoj ^ on 16 th of Augost ,. 1819 . The room was well lighted oj > fwUhga « , anithe tables were tastefully get outAt eight o- ' cio « kAyery

      , respectable company sat down to tea , About * twenty minutes were occupied in dificussing tbe cake and gunpowder , after which , the cloth being drawn and the tables " sided , " the Rev . James Schofield was called to the chair amidst rapturous applause . . The Rev . Gentleman briefly and courteously ,, acknowledged the compliment paid him , and eulogised the patriot to whose memory they were met to do nouoor , whom in bis lifetime he had known and loved , and whose principles ha had made his own . The first toast from tbe Chair was " The People , the legitimate source of all power , " responded to by Mr . John Hargravcs . Air—Mareelloise Hymn . " The immortal memory of the late Henry , Hunt , and those who fell on Peterloo ; " responded to , by

      Mr . Whitaker . Air-The \ Dead March , the next toast was , " Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and J . B . O'Brien , Esq . —may their patriotic exertions be duly appreciated by a grateful people . " Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm with which this toast was received by the audience ; it is impossible to describe it , suffice it that every means by which gratification could be expressed by both sexes was resorted to . Air— Auld lang syne . " " The amiable though exiled Frost-and his compatriots Williams and Jones ; may the people ' s exertions for their restoration be speedily crowned v / ith success . " Responded to by Mr . James Cartledge . " "Arthur O'Connor , aad a ) l who have suffered in the cause of universal liberty . ** ; Air—^ Bxile of Erin . " Mr . Murray ; an

      Irish Chartist , upwards of sixty years of age , a democrat from seventeen years of age / Vose to respond , and knowing personally Arthur . Roger , and Feargus O'Connor , and being a good historian , he delivered along and interesting address , beginning from , forty years back , ' giving minute details of the Irish Rebellion , tracing the O'Connor family down to the present time , speaking in the mosteulogestio terms ; and that during all his acquaintance with them , he had not seen & single flaw , but on the contrary , he had experienced and observed everything that was patriotic , generous , and honourable . Mr . Murray spoke of the old tiortftern Star in Ireland , went through all the proceedings respecting Emmett , and the evenful period of the vear 98 .

      So exhilirating Was the subsequent amusement of the evening , that this good and old friend ( Murray ) put on a pair of slippers , ( though he had not'danced for more than thirty years , ) and gave us an horn , pipe , which completely astonished the youngsters to see his bald head and his light tee trip the boards to the quiok-time music .

" Air— " The bonny breast knots ; after which the toast was responded to by Mr . Griffin . Thanks were then voted to the Chairman , and the remainder of the' evening was spent in danoing singing , recitations , and other amusements . The harmony of the assembly being kept up till a late hour .

      Birxh-dat op Henqy Hcnt . —On Saturday evening , about thirty of the leading Chartists of Manchester sat down to an excellent supper at tbe Tib-street Dancing Master ' s house , in commemoration of the birth-day of the above gentleman . — After the cloth was withdrawn the company enjoyed themselves with songs , toasts , recitations , &c . until shortly after eleven o ' clock . Of course the living patriots and the Chartist press were properly recognised . Lecture . —On Sunday evening , Mr . Storer , of Ashtou , lectured to a numerous audience in Tibstreet , and Mr . John Campbell , in Brown-street .

      Disthbss . —On Monday three wretched girls were brought before Alderman Hooper , at the London Mausion House , charged with having broken windows for the purpose of being sent to Bridewell . A policeman stated that having , between one and two o ' clock in the morning , heard a smashing of glass , he went to ascertain the cause , and saw tbe three girls , who told him that they bad committed the offence , and that they wished to be locked up out of the cold . Hetookthemtothestation-house , andthence , by order of tbe inspector , to the union in Cannonstreet , where Mr . Thwaites , the relieving officer , immediately attended to tho ease , and offered them orders of admission to the house at Peokham . but

      they refused to go to the establishment , and witness convoyed them to the station-house . Mr . Thwaites said that , as was frequently the case , he was knocked up at an unreasonable hour , after the regular l&bours of the dayr and ho offered the orders to the girls , all of whom had been at Peckham before ; but they rejected the orders , and he bad no alternative but to send them back to the station-house . Mr . Hobler intimated to the Alderman that the rejection of toe offer was by no means to be wondered at , as it was no trifle to walk four or five miles between one and two o ' clock in the morning after the exhaustion of tho day . Aid- Hooper—Indeed it is a hard sentence upon poor fatigued persons to send them at such an bour such a distance . I am sure that is

      not what ought to be called relief . Mr . Thwaites said that be bad it not in bis power to do anything more for those who were brought to him . The multitudes received at Peckcam were beyond all credibility . They had 240 persons in tho house a-couple of weeks ago , and a strong spirit of insubordination had exhibited itsolf of late there . The girls stated that they had broken the windows in order to be sent to prison , as a prison , bad as it was , was better than the Peckham house , of which they know quite enough . Ail that they could expect at Peckham house Was to be turned out in the morning with a litclc bread . They had been all round the London unions , and they must say that prison was greatly preferable , whatever people mizht Btate . Booker ,

      the overseer of Bishopsgate parish , stated inattho guardians of the East London Union were to hold a meeting next day on the subject of purchasing premiseB in town for the reception of destitute persons like tbe defendants . All the guardians of the unions in the city would , he believed , attend on so important au ocoasion . The East London Union gnardians had seen one of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioners on the subject , and it was believed that premises would be purchased . Tbe conduct of the younger prisoners in the workhouse was so bad that the old people , who were entitled to some little comfort , had the most miserable lives in that asylum . Girls like those at the bar wore in the habit of pelting each other with bread and pudding , and the

      house was really a hell upon earth . Alderman Hooper , perceiving that one of the girls was ill , sent her to Bartholomew ' s Hospital , and ordered that the other two should pay tho sum of 20 s . each for the mischief they haa done , or suffer imprisonment for a month in Bridewell . One of the Girls . —Thank you , Sir , for sending us to Bridewell ; any place is to be preferred to Peckham , and no miBtake . We shall never go there again , at any rate . Alderman Hooper . —I do not attribute any blame to the relieving overseer , for he cannot remedy the evil ; but it is quite a mockery of relief to give poor destitute creatures orders to go to Peokham between one and two in the morning . I hope suoh a mode of relief will be as quickly aa possible substituted by one more according with ordinary humanity .
