" In all probability we shall hare some famous exhibitions of " strong language , " neiT 0 U 3 appeals , " " ex-¦ cdlcnt recommendations , ' and " unmeasured denunciations , " if tho people will bat hnmonrthe hffDiTj crew so far as to listen to them . The tricks that were played off during the humbug

      " Reform" agitation- will be again attempted ' vVheuicr Bristol and Nottingham hare been again selected as the theatres of the Whig " torch-menV atrocities , we cannot say , not being in their secrets ; but that theso things would not be at all E £ m ? -ed at to ssrve Whig purposes , we hare sufficient cadence in the first number of the Chronicle which tas issued from the press since the development of Peel ' s scheme . Tns dirty wretch who performs the work of the m ' -ui : i 7 ieires a commences his article by saying : —

      " "We almost dread to try the patience of the mtion , fcy a ccTnmTmicaticn of the scheme gravely proposed last night by Sir Robert Pe = l . " And he concludes his diatribe by pretending to entr .-at tho public to continue the praiseworthy Cu 2 iae » which has met so poor a requital . w The Ecn ? rue , " says he , " we know , is calculated to incpn =- them ; bnt we trust they will bear with their Trror-43 . We entreat more especially all \ vjlue 71 Lial person ? to exert themselves to modebaui theresenlmeiii of ; hose "whom iheir sufferings may have made des- : rate . vLei ti ^ m remind the people that in pzs ? h : g ihs hiundcries of the late , they only pu : ¦ hmslsiis I : ; io tr . 3 baiiis of their oppressors .

      Kow , ichv all ibis entreaty 1 tt no is talking , Jlr . Chronicle , of passing the boundaries of the law ! " Who dreams of such a thing ? None bDt 'he Anti-Corn Law League , j these u influ ential" friends of yours , Mr . Chronicle , who are : o significantly called upon " to exert themselves to moderate (?) the resenlment of those vrh ' - ' i sufferings may hare made them DESPERATE I" No one else , Certainly , thick 3 of " passing be boundaries of the law ! " We assure you thai ** tha public , " when they think of ' " ' passing ihs

      bcni ~ Juries of the law" for a political measure , will loos for one in which they nave some interest ; not for '" Total Repeal , " which , under present circun ? - Htsn- 5 , wonld confer lenejil only upon the Millionaire Jliilocrats , and PzUifecx suis upon the La-bi-nrers , both agricultural and manufacturing . Ko , " -lo , Mr . Chronicle . It will be of no use for yonr ' iiilaenrial persons to exert themselves '"" ' to this end . " Tie public" will bnt laugh at yon : It is unnecessary that we should caution the people against the " tricfa of the traders" It is

      unnecessary that we should bid them remember that while the " influential persons" who " exerted then :-elve 3 to xodesate ( 1 ) tha resentment of the DZ 3 PERATE" at Bristol and Nottingham , escaped scst-froc from , harm and secured their ozen political ends , the poor dupes whom they incited to u DESPERATION" were hanged 1 ! and transported . It is unnecessary that we should ask them to look on with coolness , and watch the antic . ' of the wretches who so lately crammed into their eiols and infernal Hell-holes five hundred

      working mea , for asking for a political measure that would haye benefitted the people ! It is unnecessary that we should bid them to take C 2 re that if there be any " passing of the boundaries of tha law / ' it shall be the Miliionaries themselves who so transgress ; and that they do not pernr ' . a single working man to be poshed forward bj tie " innuentials , " into a position of danger or harm . It is quite unnecessary that we should do any of these things . The people hare set tbeir

      hearts upon their own work ; they have resisted all the attempts of the League" to seduce theni from the allegiance they owe to their own order ; and they are not now going to permit themselves to be made the tools of the influential" who are EO kindly bidden to " hodebate ( t ) the resentment Of the DESPERATE . " No , no ! The people will leaTe the miirio 7 iaire miBocralB and the aristocracy to fight out by themselves the battle they have entered upon ; while they prosecute their own ends , gee to the sizning of their own

      NATIONAL , and prepare for the due assembling of their own Convention , to urge upon the " Parliament" the fOairrw of

      4 , 000 , 000 OF PEOPLE !! And to do this , they will need no "influential persons" to " exeri themselves to moderate (?) the resentment of the DESPERATE 1 " They know their own work ; they know their own power ; they Trill u ? e that power only for the accomplishment of their own work , net the work of faction ; and if the w Leaguers" desire to get out of their " desperate " struggle with their brother marauders of the aristocracy , without defeat , they must lay aside xheir

      exclusive class -pretensions , and " league'' with the people for right—the right of the whole people—ffie light of the People ' 3 Charter . The people will be on the alert , and stick the Charter right bang under the nose of every mother ' s son of them that dares to ask for popular support against Peel , and for * Total Repeal .

      HOUSE-OF COMMONS . —Thfesdat . The Spsaker took the Chair at four o ' clock . Avast number of petitions were presented against the Cora Laws , and some unimportant orders of the day wera disDO ? ed of . Colont 1 SiBTHOEP wished to ask the First Lord of the Treasury a very important question relative to the resolutions which were proposed to the House last n ? phr-. It was whether it wa 3 the intention of her Majesty ' s Government to make any alterations with rtsard to the manner in which the duties are now taken j whether they were to be taken when the corn comes into the conntrys or when it is taken oat of bond . Sir Robeet Peel ? sid there was no alteration contemplated by her Majesty ' s Government .

      Col . Sibthobp then gave notice that he should call the attention of the Committee appointed te investigate this matter to that very important point . Xord John RcssKLLsaid there was a different law with repaid to the importation of flour into Ireland and England ; for when the admission was prohibited in Ireland , it was allowed in England . He wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to introduce into the Corn Laws that clause which prohibited the importation of fiour into Ireland , or wletber the same law would apply both to England and IxelMsd . This pubjr-ci was one of great interest to the Irish , bnt if the Right Hon . Baronet wa 3 not prepared to answer the question at present , he < Lord John Russell ) would not press for an imavj-< B 2 ter"p 3 y . ....

      Sir R . Peel said he had reserred that point for another que * ti : n : he would endeavour to answer the in quiry on Mundsy ro : t .

      AMENDMENT ON TriE MINISTERIAL PLAN . Lord Jc-ns RcsstLL gave notice that on Monday figxt , before the Euuss went into Committee on the

      Cam la ^ s , he shonld move a resolution , the precise words of which he could not give now , but the subfta . nce of which would be tVai in any contemplated alteration of the Corn Laws , it would be inadvisable to adopt the principle of a sliding scale . ( Hear . ) An Hos . Member , whose name we could riot learn , gave notice that on Thursday , the 24 th instant , he should move for a return of the total aaount of TQonsy received from the Chinese for the ransom of Canton . Mr . ViLLiBSS gave notice that he should take the sense of the House as to the propriety of the impoation of any duty whatever on the importation of corn .

      BOLTON— TOOB . LAWS . Dr . Bowbrg rose to move for copies of communications addressed from Bolton to the Home-Office , during the late Recess , on the subject of Mr . Mott's Report . The Dactor entered into a detail of circumstances connected with the condition of the inhabitants of Bolton , which , he contended , had been misrepresented or tos favourably depicted in the report of Assistant Poor Law Commissioner Mott , who had been stni down laEt autumn speoially to investigate .

      ^ S : r James Graham was not opposed to the production of the documents moved for by Dr . Bowrinjj , adding to them Mr . Mott ' s explanations , as siven in Ms replies to the correspondence with the HoiQe-r . ffice . Mr . AiyswoBTH ( Dr . Bowring ' s colleague in the representation of Bolton ) added his testimony to the fact of the extent and severity of the distress at Bolton , The mills in Bolton , with the exception of one , were in employment , but were working short time .

      Lord John Maxkers , having personally visited Bolton , tkad -witnessed the condition of the inhabitants , also adiicd his testimony to the fact of the distressed cenditirn of the people , and hoped that some measure of relief would be devi > ed , Mr . BiJorHEnxo . v brought forward his motion , that rio opposed business be discussed in the House after twelve o ' clock at night , unless a hundred members were present . _ Sir Robert Peel , in opposing the motion , did eo simply on the ground of expediency , and conformity to esrablithed usages . Mr . Brotherton ' s arguments for early sittings might or might pot be right and rcasonio ' e , but as the habits of society were at present constituted an entire alteration must take place bef-re effect could be riven to them .

      Mr . linoTHEBTON pressed his motion to a division , when it was lost by 2 C 0 against 26 . Lord John Russell moved for copies of the letters ac 5 'jnipanyir : g tae restoration of the late Chief Justice of the Court of 0 / ieen ' s Bench in Ireland and she me Lord President of the Court of Session in Scodand . An impression prevailed that they had wkhh . id their resignation until the political party -o which they were attached had come into power ; and as such an idea was calculated to diminish the respect due to the independence and integrity of tlie bench , Lord John Russell wished to have it set at rtst by the production of the correspondence . Sir James Gbaham , in resisting the Motion , attacked the conduct of the late TN ' hi ^ Ministry , and accused them of having tampered with the Judges both in Scotland and in Ireland , by entering into negocktiong to effect the retirement of particular individuals . He alluded particularly to the cases of Lord Con-house and Lord Plunket .

      Mr . lex Maule stared that he was a party to the negociatiqn alluded to with Lord Corehouse ; and that the circumstances connected with it were such that he , at least , had no cause to shrink from avovring his share in the matter . Ha then stated ihe circumstances connected with the case , and would lea ? e tho public to jud ^ e between his Etatenient of the circumstances and the imputations of Sir 2 n , es Graham . Sir William Rae ( Loid Advocate ) defended Lord Corshous * .

      • ur . O'CosxelLj who had been appealed to by Sir J . Graham , for his testimony to the merits of Lord Chief Justice Bushe , freely declared that he considered him to have been amone ? t the foremost men s- ' ; he Irish bar—an admirable orator , an excellent lawyer , and an accomplished gentleman . But ho had become the mere wreck of what he was ; and there was no doubt that he had lingered on the Bench , when incapacitated for his duties , until his po ' 'h : cal friends came ir . to power . Lord John RusseJl was quite justified in bringing forward his motion on the ground of constitutional jealousy , a ;; d care lor the integrity and independence of the Be .-ch . Mr . Shaw affirmed that the late Government had been guihy of great jobbing in Ireland , in the disto- ^ 1 of places .

      Mr . \ vaklet considered the discussion to bean exceedingly edifying one . It was only by the qcsrrei ? of parties thut the public were let into tho secret of how those things were managed . Sir Robzst Peel denied that he had been influenced by psli-icil considerations in the appointments which he had made . - Lord John Russell , in reply , did not pee that any atempt had been made to answer the allegation . —that the two judges had lingered on the bench till their political friends had come into p ? wer . He pressed his motion to a division , when there appeared 148 against , 15 for the motion . ¦ The House adjourned at a quarter to nine .

VicKers , a poor widow , residing at No . 36 , Newstreet , Yauxhail , wa 3 entered during her temporary absence at her next door neighbours , and stripped of every article she possessed .

Mann an extraordinary number of the previous evening ' s Sun , with the whole development of the ministerial scheme of Corn Law reform . Considering that Sir Robert Peel ceased speaking at eight o ' clock on Wednesday evening , and that we had it on our desk before tea on Thursday morning , we ciloolate that this would have puzzled our grandfathers pretty considerably .

      isolated free trade Ejitsnj , mustered in considerable force . Although it was a wet evening , yet by elgbt o ' clock an immense cro ^ d was collected round th 8 doors of the Institution , where they were informed that no meeting upon the Corn Laws was to take place , but tLat a lectnre on cbemiitry was to be delivered to jthe members of the Institution . Believing this to be a dtcv-ption , and the crow < i continually increasing , Mr . Leish wa 3 depnted to ascertain the reason of this shameful breach cf public faith , when it was discovered that , in consequence of their defeat on the previous evening , a select committee had met en the Saturday , and put eff the metticg sine die—gnat disappointment being expressed at the conduct of Sidney Smith and the committee . Mr . Leigh addressed the meeting , and

Mr . Leigh was tremendously cheered during the irholt ) pi his 6 X > cellent address . At its conclusion , Mr . Parker moved , and Mr . Osborno seconded , ia able speeohes , the adoption of the following resolution •— " That , in the opinion of this meeting , tha only practical and

      beneficial method of repealing toe Corn Laws is by causing the People's Charter to become the law of the land . " Mr .

This iminediatdj ' became so densely crowded tbat the windows were obliged to be thrown open to admit air , mauy standing on the outside . The Chairman read the numerously signed requisition and placard convening the meeting . ( Cries of " Are tbe members for the borough present ?") Chairman—They are n ^ t presoLt , neither have ihey sent a reply to the letters requesting their attendance . ( Shouts of " They may look out when they want our votes . ") He then called on Mr . Joseph Morgan to move the first resolution , " That this meeting views with regret and alarm the present unparalleled distressed state of the country ,, and

      it is our opinion a remedy can only be found by the millions inquiring into the present defective state of the representation . " The resolution was seconded by Mr . Patis and supported by Mr . Maynard . Mr . Stanley moved the second resolution as follows;—"That thismstting is of opinion that the source of all the erils which affect the community is ti be traced to class legislation , and that no efficient remedy will ever be applied until tbe principles cf tbe People ' s Charter shall become the law of the land .

Stall wood , amid loud cheering , replied to and refuted tbe objections mooted by Dr . Drury , showing that tbe Raform Bill and

      Catholic Emancipation had been carried without a re 3 ort to brute force ; and as from tbe people sprung alike the soldier , policeman , and tho money which paid anA cottinued tueir existence ; let them only desir * their f > eedoni , and tiey would discover the truth cf Lafiyette ' s maxim , " that for a n ;> t ' on to be free 'twas sufficient tbat she will'd it .

      ¦ ^^ B ^ m * HULL . PUBLIC MEETING , in FREEMASON'S HALL , ON BEHALF OF THE OPPRESSED COTTON SPINNERS . Considerable excitement has been prevalent in Hull , for some few days back , in consequence of the turn out of the weavers , and , ultimately , we understand , of all tbe hands employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills . About three years ago , one of the Hells of modern

      civilization , a Cotton Miil was erected in the Groves , a joint-stock concern , upon a , somewhat extensive scale , the property of a company of speculators , most of them entirely ignorant of the business , and conducted in all its practical operations , by a Manager , whose business , of course , was to see that whatever became of the " workics , " the "Capital" of the Company should return a fair per centage , besides paying hi 3 and his assistants' salaries , the amount of which we do not know , though we have been told that they are enormous .

      Factory workers were induced , by representations of good wages and plenty of worli , to immigrate from the factory districts ot' Cheshire and Lancashire , only to find out that they had made an . exchange greatly for the worse . ' ¦ ' . The poor creatures struggled wiih their fate for a long time in silence ; but the patience even of Englishmen does not always last , and tht , y , at length , made a show of resistance in the shape of a "turnout . " During the past week placards were issued , of which the following is a copy : — " Tyranny , oppression , anJ reduction , at the Hull Flax an I Cotton Mills ! !—An appeal of the turn-out cotton weavers , of the above mills , to tbe inhabitants of Hull . —Friends , and Brother Operatives , —It is with

      feelings of deep regret , tbat we bavo to inform you of some of the over-bearing acts of oppression which has been imposed upon us for a considerable length of time at the above factories , and the present attempt of the manager to oppress us still further ; which is the cause of our present turn-out . For a long time our wages have been lowering by degrees ; ami they are now such miserable pittances that they will scarcely keep us from starving : being on average , for 11 two-loom weaver , ( a clas 3 cf workpeople from Bixt ** n to fifty years of ags ) , not more than six shillings per week ; and for whieh , we have to labour hard from twelve to fourteen hours per day . The master thinking these good wa 3 es ' too much , now makes another attempt to lower them

      still more ; the circumstances of which , arc as follows : — Early last week , there were put upon the looms , what are ca ^ efl *? Be \ t-acting iempks , " which ate to / as b ! no benefit whatever , but for which , the manager told us that our ' good wages * would be reduced , by taking therefrom , to tho amount of twopence in the shilling . Having put up with reductions like this , time after time , we determined to do so no longer ; and the whole of us that were ' favoured * with the self-acting temples , * immediately left our work' and appointed a deputation to wait npon the manner , tb try if they could reason with him , and show him the injustice which he wanted to inflict upon U 3 ; acoordlngly the deputation

      waited npon him , ¦ whom ho called a set of madmen , wbo did not know when they had good masters ; that their wages " were reduced on account of tne accursed Corn Laws ! ! Tbat they had * good wages' still ; that he wonld not be talked t j by them ; and tbat they were to be off about their busiuesf , as he bad nothing more to Bay . In this condition are we placed by the grinding h . fluence of Mammon . We would also state , that in all other cotton districts where the " self-acting temples" are used , the workmen receive better wa ^ es than we did without them ; in fact , our wagos gfiEeralJy are considerably lower . For instance , we rec ^ ivu for weaving 73 yards , Is . 5 d ., and for the veiy bame kiud of work ia Xtftncaabize , Che

      Untitled Article

      shire , &d , the workmen receivei for w&Sying 60 yards , Is . 8 d . ; and some of our fel ' ow-worfeinen fiave been reduced in . their wajjes , within the last fifbwn months , to the amount of l Os . per week , and . yet our mastars say we are well paid . * And having been entrapped here , bylying agents , from the cotton districts of 'Lin- eashire and Cheshire , wa hate , beea used woree than brutes ; the manager knowing there ia no other factory for us to flee to in this district . Numerous nets of diabolical , tyranny , which we hav / S not room to mention here , will be given you in hand-bills . To conclude , we now beg to solicit your assistance , hoping thereby that we may t a enabled to resist such infamous tyranny and oppression , and trust that we saaU not make this

      " Oppression Exposed !! The inhabitants of Huil are respectfully informed , that a public meeting will be held in the Freemason ' s Lodge , Mytoiagate , on Monday evening next , February 7 th , 1842 , to epmmence at h > l f-pait seven o ' clock , when a full and corte ' ct-exposure will be given of the horrid anil almost nnparallelsd treatment practised by tho maunger upon the cotton weavers , &c , at the Hull Flax anrl cotton mills . Subscriptions , will be thankfully received at tbe door , to support the cotton weiivers on strike . ' * The spaciou ^ hall , capable of holding more than 1000 persons , was crowded to excess ; Mr . isainuel Healy was called to the chair . The Chairman read the placard calling the meeting , and also a long

      statement of facts of the most appalling character , in reference to oppressions of the paor weavers and Bpinners in this den of horrors . Mr . Jamos Hastington then addressed the . meeting at some length , after which the following resolution was moved by Mr . Lundy , and seconded by Mr . Matthews :-- " That this meeting , having heard wiih deep regret , the appalling statements that have been made respecting the horrid oppressions practised upon the workmen employed at the Hull Flax and Cotton Mills , by the manager thereof , do sympathise with tho men , and pledges itself to support them in their strike against unparalleled oppression . '' It was supported by Mr . Hornsby and others , and carried unanimously .

      Mr . Lundy then moyef 3 j and Mr . Hornsbt seconded another resolution , to the effect that a report bo inserted ini the Star , to caution the Lancashire people against being allured to tho cotton mills of Hull ; The Chairman made an appeal to the meeting , on behalf of the turnouts , after which tho followiug resolution was moved , seconded , and carried unanimously : — "That the thanks of this meeting are duo to Mr . Samuel Healey , for having so jpromptly rendered assistance to our fellow townsmen in giving publicity to their base usage , through the press . " Mr . Healev replied briefly to tho resolution / A greas impression was made on the mpctiug by the appalliijg stattmeut of facts . A collection was made for tho weavers at the door .

      Wo do hope that tliese sufiering men will not be permitted by the virtuous , aKd , goaerally speaking , well-off population of Hull , to be borne aown in this struggle with ao insidious and powerful foe : we would also extend this appeal to their brethren ot tho factory districts in Cheshire , Lancashiro , and Yorkbhiro . Bad as the condition of the factory people in these districts is , their brethren of Hull are in a worse condition . Do not , then , suffer the insatiate monster , capital , ' to make even that worse still . We are glad to learn that at the meeting on Monday night , almost every speaker , instanced the present as another of the many evidences why the people ehould be unanimous in their demand tor the Chai'ter as the oiily efiioiout measure of protection .

OLDHAM . —Pubuc Meeting on tue Corn Laws . —Th is Iong-ahticipated meeting was convened by a requisition , numerously signedi and was held on Weduesdayevening last . The announcement was given by large flaming billg , and the affair having been long in contemplationV had boen the means of creating extraordinary excitement betwiit the

      Chartista and the Corn Law repealers . The Charti 3 t Committee had , from the commoiicenioiu , uuderstood from tho opposite party that full , fair , free , and equal di 3 oussion would be allowed , and that each party would be allowed to in \ 3 te what amount of talent they thought necessary to support the views of tho respective parties on the subject ; also that proper time would be given to every speaker , and tho contest 8 !> justly regulated as to ; have man for man . It was , therefore , thoiight , by the Chartist Committee that tho great guns of the League would be present . They onthoir part iuvited Messrs . West . Bell , Clarke , and Grifiia to eupport the Charter . The tima announcod for commenaement of business was seven o ' clock ; but loiig before

      that hour large nutubers were wendiug their way to the Town Hall , the place of meeting , arid when the doors were thrown open , there waa a general : rash to gain admittance , whilst the respectables came in by a side door and nioHiOpolised the platform and front seats . Considerable noise and contusion took place , before a chairman could be appointed ? and at length Mr ; John Brierley was { duly elected . ' -J ' i' was then made known to the committee and meeting that the partiescalling the meeting had invited nd ; extra talent ; on these grounds strangers were prevented speaking . By this previously concerted trick they ware enabled to bring their own speakers ready prepared to the meeting ; while the Chartists' arrangements were all thrown into disorder : they having arranged for

      two townsmen to move and second an amendment if necessary ; but dependiug for discussion ou the strangers present by invitation . To meet the exigency speakers bad now to bo called from the meeting , unprepared of course with documents or any means of argument ' -. thu ' n their general knowledge of the Eubject . Notwi thsta nding all , howeverr , the Chartist amendment moved by Mr . Crowder , and seconded by Mr . Smethurst , was carried by a considerable majority : though of ^ oourso the League inari : in the chair declared it lost . The speeches of the Anti-Corn Law orators were of a character to deprecate ; as much as possible the perseyerance of the Chattists . Much dissatisfaction was expressed at the partial and unfair decision of the Chairmap .

      BRIGHTON . —A public meeting of the trades of Brighton was held oh Thursday eveniBg , February 10 th , at the Bricklayer ' s Arms Inn , North-street , for the purpose of devising the best means of assisting the masons on strike in London and Woolwich , Air . 1 . Scott , cordwainer , in the chair . The chairman addressed a few preliminary observations to the meeting , regretting that ther meeting ; was called oa the same evening as the visit of her Majesty to Brighton , which had doubtless prevented many from attending . Mr . MatthewSjCordwainer , proposed the first resolution . Mr . Matthews then read the following resolution ;— " That , in the opinion of this meeting , the manly and moral courage exhibited by the masons on strike at the New Houses of

      Parliament , Nelson ' s Monument , and at the Woolwich Dockya , rd , in resisting the repeated tyrannies of George Allen , the foreman at the Houses of Parliament ^ deserves our utmost praice , and the support of every mail desirous of preserving a general union of the working classes . '' Mr .. Matthews , 1 at some length , and in a fine manner ! supported the resolution , showing the necessity of trade ' s unions , and also the necessity of every working man joining a Chartist association . If , said he , tho coutractorct , Grissell anci Peto , had struck against the men , would the Government havp given their support to the men , as in the present instance they had done to their employers , in the most barefaced manner allowing the contract to bb euspendod , and giving

      grants of the public funds to > carry on their tyrauni-Oil opposi ' -iqu against the masons 1 It had been reported , according to JPr ; M'Douall's statement , at the White Conduit maeting , tliat the Queen had presantcd Grissell and Peto £ 500 for the loss they had sustained . He urged on them to continue united and firm in their support to the masons , and thus they would ultimately succeed in the attainmfcJit of their objects . Mr . Matthews concluded an excellent address , and sat down loudiy applauded . Mr ; Woodward , news agent , seconded the resolution . Mr . Giles , caipenter , in proposing the second resolution felt no doubt buttha , ! tliey would passH .- " . The quarrymen "ft ere entitled to the best thanks of this meeting , and it was rather unfortunate that , the

      Governnient lent their influence to Grissell and Petol ; but he hoped they were all of his mind of upholding theHO men to the last , though he was well convinced that until the working classes had the power of sending their own men into the House of Commons , no permanent benefit would accrue to them . It was for the want of political power , that the Dorchester Labourers and the Glasgow Cotton Spinners were transported , if they had afairreprefleiitition iu the Commous , those men would never havo been transported ; still he would support these men , and he would leave the following resolution in their hands . Mv . Giles than resumed hia seat by pioposing , " Than iu the opinion of this meeting , the bold and decisive conduct adopted by the quarrymeu

      in refusiug to -prepare stoue for GrisseU aad jfeto , until . a ' . full measure of jastico has been conceded to tho injured maaons , v / hem to support in their just and honourable strike , have sacrificed their employ , mont , are pre-eminently eutitled to our cordial thanks and sympaihies , and whose conduct urges us on to renewed exortions . which ,, era long , we trust will end in the complete triumph of the sons of imlustry . " T ]\ c resolution waa seconded by Mr . Jus . Parker , platorer , and brk-fly supported by Mr . John Scrase , mason , and Mr . Trower , carpenter . The Chairman put the resolution which was adopted . Mr . John Allen , carpenter , proposed the following resolution : — " That in the opinion of this meeting the partial , unjust , and tyrannical conduct of the

      Commissioners of Woods and : Forests , and . the Beard of Admiralty , in continually tendering , assistance- to Grissell and Peto against the cruelly persecuted masons now on strike , clearly proves that the Government , and those connected with them , are determined by fcvery effort in their power to crush and put down any unionjof the working classes ; it is therefore necessary that extbujively organised associations should exist amongst them for their mutual protection against the combined efforts of those who live upon their industry . " Mr . Flower , shipwright , secoiided the resolution . The resplution was carried . Mr . Ilenim ' -ngs , mason , proposed the following resolution :- — " That this meeting do immediately and collectively declare its determination to

      assist ti . e masons > o long as tho strike may continue , and that the following gentlemen do form a cbm ^ mitteo to carry out the Ba ; . d object , viz : —Meesrs . J . Alien , Benjamin King , T . 0 . Lamborf , William Rannistcr , John Rpok , Thomas Gibbs , N . Morling ^ John Matthews , WiUiam White , Edward Heinmings , James Parker , W , Penfolil , Wm . Woodward , Geo . Giles , Jeremiah Herbert , and Henry Trueman , with power to add to their number . " Mr . Scrase , a mason , wgconded the resoluuori . The Chairman put the resolution proposed by Afr . Hemmihgs , and it was unanimously carried . A vote of thanks was presented ( 0 the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair , and the meeting then gave three hoarty loud cheers for the People ' s Charter , and three cheers for thesuccessof themason ? .

      Leeds Cloth Markets . —There hasj been a better demand for all descriptions of manufactured goods at the Cloth Hall , on the two last market days , and more particularly on Tuesday , when more goods were taken out than has been the case for some time .

      . Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Feb . 14 . — - The week ' s imports of British Grain , Flour ^ aud Oatmeal , are of very small amount , but from abroad wo have received 13 , 067 quarters . of Wheat , and 15 . 803 barrels of Fiour , the whole of which however , are at present under bond . The general character of the trade has still been that of inactivity ; the partial exposition of the Ministerial measure on the subject of the Corn Laws , seems yet to have rather increased the inertness than otherwise . The buBihess in free Wheat has been unimportant at the

      rates last quoted , and in bonded , the sale of a cargo of Barletta at 7 s . 5 d . per 701 bs . in the beginning of the week , is the only transaction reported . Two or three parcels of Irish mealing Oats , of good quality , have found buyers at 2 s . lid , to 3 s . per 45 lbs . Oatmeal in slow request at 27 s . 6 d . to 28 g . per 240 ! bg .

      London Corn Exchange , Feb . 14 . — There was a limited supply of Wheat from Essex , Kerit , and Suffolk , this morning , and only a moderate quantity Of Barley , Beans , and Peas , from these counties , and the fresh arrivals of Oats were to a trifling extentj ' as well of English and Scotch as of Irish . The imports of Foreign ; grain during the past week were not large . Since this day se ' nnight the weather has been variable , with rain on Saturday and yesterday , but this morning is fine . Fine English Wheat met a free sale at an advance of Is . per qr . The demand was steady for good Foreign Wheat , at rather higher rates ; the holders generally refusing former rates , somewhat checked business therein .

      London Smithfield Cattle Market , Feb . 14 . — The arrivals of Beasts from the whole of our grazing districts , fresh up to this day's market , were not very numerous , but they vrere of considerably improved quality , especially as relates to those from Suffolk , Norfolk , and Herefordshire . Owing to the weather being unfavourable 1 for slaughtering , and the immense quantities of meat on sale in the dead markets , received from Scotland , Yorkshire , and the West of England , the Beef trade here , not withstanding there was a fair attendance of dealers to-day , was in a very distressed state . Some few of the primest Scots , however , Bold at 43 . 6 d . per stone of 8 lb . ; but other qualities of Beef had again a downward

      tendency , and a clearance was not made without considerable difficulty . The number of Stock now in the ; outskirts of the metropolisi , intended for thia market , are comparatively small . From Scotland , per steamers and sailing vessels , about 200 Scots and 300 Sheep came to hand in admirable condition , scarcely any of them being affected by the so much oomplained of epidemic . : With Sheep we were fairly supplied , but there were very few really prime old Downs offering ; such i therefore ; sold on full as good terms as were those noted on this day s ' ennight ; bat Kohts , Kentish halfrbreds , Leicesters , and

      Somersets were 2 d . ; per 81 b > lower , and a few were turned out unsold . There were about 100 Essex and Kent Lambs on the market , the inquiry for which was slow at from 7 s . to 83 , per 81 b . From the Isle : of Wight ho ^ supplies have > as yet , been received , bat somo are shortly expected .
