      must necessarily be false . For wher . a man tell 3 me cf bis addressing 200 , 090 men I find it impossible to believe him : if he told me he hadraddressed 20 , 000 or 30 , 060 I could understand it But when- he tells me thai tbe 2 S 0 000 men whom he proposes to address meet calmly to discuss a great . national : qnestion , I at once turn with contempt , worn , and disgust ¦ from such a statement , because I know it to be physically Impossible that at a meeting composed of such immense numbera as jthing lik « diBeusslou can take place . WeU , then , the capitalist very well knows that no meeting of the kind can serve the purposes of discussion ; and if so , there must , of coutsb , be Bome other object "Where auch numbsra assemble , the 6 > ject cannot be B harmJfissone . I very vfellknow Iwhat that object is ,

      but the capitalist thinks it Is for the purpose of breaking the peace . I t » o not , myself believe so . I think that so long as the agitators can hold the issue of those xneetisga in their bands—( hear)—; tbey vrill be tie last to rifik their oma ssfetyj ( Hear . ) j I put their -rfrtue at the height of prudence , and no ; hither —( a laugh )—and , therefore , that they will sot break the peace if they can help it —( hear , hear )—but where you collect S 8 . 0 G 0 men together and inflame ' their minds by such harangues us those which wejtoow have been -delivered at those meetings , it is useless and absurd for ycu ts say that they will not take fire , [ As well might you approach a match to gunpowder , and say , " Dont exploda" ( Hear , hear . ) Bat I believe myself that those persons have a very diikrent object in -view . I believe

      that these meetings axe part of a vast system of intimidation , iat ihe purpose of shemng tb& power of the leaders cf the Irish people over them , and of overawing the Govcrsramut . ( Hear . ) . Profoundly ignorant are they of foe Government with which they have to deal . { Hear . ) They shew themselves profoundly ignorant of my Noble Friend , the Koble Duke opposite . He is aa little i ? kely to be overawed by any of their machinations , their addresses , or their meetings , aa those agitators themselves are likely , with their devoted and desperate followers , to be overawed or made io swerve from their course by any conscientious scruples or patriotic Juolives . There is no capitalist in this country wno will send one farthing of money to a ceaotry where there exists eucb an organized system of

      mischief . These , my Lords , are the reasona in answer to my Noble Friend ' s remarks why I think capital has not been and will not yet be sent into Ireland . I will say one word about agitation ; not only with reference to repeal , but extending a little fnrtber . I see now many who do not care about repeal ; but who care a great deal about fixity of tenure , -which means confiscation of land , ( heat , hear ) the destruction of property , the abrogation of oil rights of property whatever ( hear , hear ); which means , turning tenant into landlord , and and the cultivator into owner { bear , hear ); that is a popular doctrine , an--- very likely to be well received , coming from tbosa -who bave little property , to those who have none . ( Hear , and a la « gb- > That is ~ rexj likely to make some way in Ireland : and accordingly I

      have beard there is something of preaching non-payment of lent and convmins the landlord ' s Tent into repeal rent , and that that is begun to be felt already . The law is strong enough to deal with it ; if cot , it ooght to be , and 2 think it is . Bnt do not let any one suppose that that is wholly an Iriih doctrine . ( Hear , heax . ; Repeal ib an Irish doctrine ; repeal will never cross the Channel . There w > s only one English member , bow no longer in Parliament , to support it ; and there will be no more to support it in Parliament Bui fixity of tenure , the destruction < bf property , ia not Irish ; it is not local ; it is as likely to spread in England as in Ireland . ( Hear , bear . ) ' I ehoultl say rather more likely , anl let all in England , as in Ireland , beware

      how they allsw ii to be introdnced . ( Hear , bear . ) 3 should cot have said so much , had I not heard something said in tbr ciher house of Parliament , coming from a certain quarter there , that fixity of tenure , if a thing not to be attempted , was a sutject for consideration . iHear hear . ) It tttiSeB at the riot cf society ( hear . otar)—of ail government ; and if not put down with n arm hand and with a strong and unhesitating judgment , it will outstrip all the efforts of all * the enemies of the country , in working the ruin and I degradation of this mighty empire .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tcesdat , Aug . 8 . Upon tfce report of the supply , Mr . Hvus recurred to the frauds in the Customs , which he belived had been te the [ extent of mUlions per annum . The fault lay ia the ? improper selection of Cemniissioners , who , instead of j being chosen from a class of persons acquainted with the business and capable of duly . superintending it , were appointed merely from interest . He called for the evidence lately token upon this subject , contending that the Chancellor of the Exchequer ought to have rappenden the whole board ; and that the -danger ! of an interferenca with the course of justice , which had been urged as an oV ^ sction , was a trils in « ompariaofl with the object to be attoieed by the production of this testimony . The

      frauds had extended not only to light goods , but to tea , tobacco , and other articles . In ose case , cigars bad bb-a passed as marble . Ha btliettd the general opinion to be the true one , which jwas that the publication would have shown neglect on tte part of persocs in high places , who might by proper vigilance have prevented these frauds . Not only were the puMic cheated , but the honest dealer . Bnt indeed , while the prtssnt high duties were maintained . ther » wonld always be nnu ^ ling ; the only way to pre' - nt it was to impo «> moderate dutiei , which wouL ! Itava the smuggler without temptation . The Tepcrt iistOf admitted and affirmed ibis , though the general views of its authors -were not very favourable t- >* free trade . Ha moved the address to the Crown for the production of tfee evidence appended to the report .

      Mt . J ? orster seconded the motion , and Mr . Williams supported it . Mr . © oxjlbttkh agreed thst publication , when the proper lime foz it should come , wco ? d do great good i bnt to publish now would be to defeat the prosecutions He vindicated the honour of the Commissioners of Customs , and the principle of their selection , and observed , ' that nothing could be more painful than the detection of the treachery committed by the subordinate officers , « atcept the discovery that « o many personB holding the high and honourable position of Engkh merchants , should hava been found-, capable of corrupting those ofEctrs , to gain as unfair advantage over rival traders . The attention of Government was anxiously directed to the circumstances stated in the rt-port ; and every precaution that human means could include wonld be taken against tbe recurrence of similar malversations .

      I > z . BOWBFNG maintained , that publicity was a principla of ^> ur . iusiitatjons , and asserted that the House had - a right to the" evidence . He wished to see a thorough and organic change in the management of tbe Customs . . : Mr . S- Wosilxi and Mr . BAHise concurred in tbe opinion , that the evidence ought not to be published . Sir < J . Cleek said it would be published next Session .

      Mr . T . Dcjjcohse asked why not now ? He recommended & reduc'jon from nine commissioners to three ; and declared his belief thst Government kept up the whole establishment for purposes ! of patronage . He proposed , that for the future all orders of the Treasury , of the Board of Trade , or ot the Commissioners should be entered in books to be kept open for public inspection ic the Long-rocin and elsewhera Tbe production of these orders -would have exposed the iocompetfincy cf tbe Commissionfers .

      Lord G . SOHEBSST aesured tii . e House that tore was no oesire on the part of tbe Government to suppress the evidence , but that its I production at tfeis mome t waold go far to assist tbeioffsnJera in binding justice . Mr . He me finally withdrew Mb motion on tbe faith of rfces = oSctiI declarufloca . ili . DUX COMBE afterwards moved for the public entry of tho orders in mincta books to bo kept in the Long Room , and for the printing and publication , on tfce first day in each month , - ' of ail new ostlers made io tbe month preceding . 3 dr . GOTJLBCSN assented to the first part of tbe iD « uaii , bus r&siated the second , which , on a division , ra 3 rtjected .

      After some farther business of , no interest , it was observed , a littie after four , that there wtre not forty members present ; tbe house was accordingly counted out .

      method . Ja about a quarter of an hour , however , thepressare became so great , that the front doors T ^ ffSZ *^ ' " a , the ^^ which is calculated to holda , 50 O , was filled tdoveiflowing , a considerable number not being able to gain admission . On the motionof one of the turn-outs , R . Filling , one of the Chartiflfcs who was tried at Lancaster , along with Feargos O'Connor and others , Was called to the chair . [ He opened the meeting by saying , that they were met together , on . that occasion , to consider matters of the ^ reatest importance ; he hoped that they bail come ^ there in earnest and not in jest . Although he himself was no spinner , yets he knew this Much about spinners , that their wages were quite low enough . Ho was of opinion , that should

      the men submit to the reduction now offered , other masters wonld do the same as Mr . Buckley . He said , all eyes were upon Ashton ; every district was taking ! cognizance of their movements and it was for that meeting to say what should be done . At this period , some little disturbance took place in consequence offrnir or five policemen being seen making their Way up the centre of the room . The chairman observed , that the " canaries" ( that being a nickname given to the police ) were only doing the bidaing of their masters , and he hoped that they w ^ ould tak e a seat beside himself ; that they might hear every thing porrectiy . The officers accepted the invitation , and the hooting ceased . As soon as order was restored , the chairman Tead the bill calling the meeting , and stated that it would ho as well if some of the men , who had turned out , would state to that mectiDg , and through the press to the world , what -their ,, real grievances were . After waiting a short

      time , one of the spinners got up and stated , that the reduction offered was 3-id . out of every 2 s . 3 id . which they earned for spinning twist , and 2 d . from every Is . Sd . for weft ; those being the sums which they previously received for spinning 1 , 000 hanks j he thought it was unjust , and ought not to be tolerated , especially when it was considered that a majority of the masters of tho town were paying more . He stated , ; that if tbe reduction was submitted to ^ it ¦ would be from 4 s . to 5 s . out of their weekly earnings . Another-person said , that he understood some allusion had been made to the Dukinfield Hall Mill , by Mr . Buckley , that the spinners of that mill were gettin ^ considerably Jess than his men , and he could not afford to give more than other parties . He , as a spinner-at that place , begged to say that tbey had their wages raised , a few days ago , 2 £ d per thousand hank < =..

      One of the turn-outs said , the list which they were wishful to be paid by was of tbe masttrs' own making . ; yet they were tho first to break it . In his opinion , the present turn-out was a whole town ' u question , anu ought to be eo considered . Hq said ho could show , from the Manchester papers , that the masters were doing better now than they had been doing for tho last twelve monthB . A general conversation here ensued as to what course should be adopted by way of assisting the han f ' s who liad turned out . One individual pointed out the necessity of subscribing lor them weekly , which proposition , was imxnediutely opposed by the turn-outs themselves wno stated , that it was not that kind of support they wanted : ; they had learned by experience that , if they ; bsgan to receive contributions , their places would soon be supplied by oiher hands , who wore out

      of employment . It was their opinion that p . single strike would not do ; if any good must bo effected , there must be a general strike throughout the whole town . —XTiiis proposition . treceired with deafening cheers . )—The following motion was then made"That we have a general strike throughout'the town , should Air . Buckley persist , in makings , reduction / ' ¦ ^ The motion was unanimously carried . A deputation was then appointed , to consist of ono spjnnrr from each of the , various mills , to wait upon Mr . Buckley , to ascertain what steps lie intended to pursue . It was then arranged , that each spinner who wee in work should subscribe sixpenoe each on tho Saturday evening , to pay aijy expenses that might be incurred for printing , < &c The meeting was then adjourned to Saturday evening , orj Tracker ' s ground , in order that tbe delegates miuh ^ bskve an opportunity of stating what nad bum doua ^ duriDfr the day .

      Un Saturday evening the" a ^ ' ourned meeting was held according to previous arrangement , and was addressed i > y Pilling , { who again acted as * chairman ) , WoJfenden , and several others . It . was stated , that the delegates had waited upon Mr . Buokley , but he would havo nothing to say to them . [ We understand , that ho declined to receive them , on the ground , that a number of them were not mill hands , but shoemakers ! and other tmdts . j A motion was then made , that the meeting should again adjourn to Sunday evening , at half-past seven o ' clock , wfacn they would meet in Chailestown , and-some arrangements

      should be entered into , and carried ont on the Monday . The meeting , which was very numerous , then quietly 8 t parated , On Sunday evening the turn-outs again aseen > bled near to the Charlestown Chapel , when Robert Lees , better known as " General Leee , " one of tho fifty-eight tried at Lancaster , was appointed chairman , and opened the meeting by giving out . a hymn , &c . At this meeting it was arranged that shop meetings should be held all over the town , and that each meeting should communicate with the sitting committee ; after which the meeting , which was considered to consist of from 4 , 000 to 5 , 000 persons

      termmed . A deli-gate meeting was holrfen on Monday night , at the house of Mr . Timothy Broadbcnt , the White Han Inn , Park-street . We understand that of Ihirty-six mills , the operatives of which had been requested to Bend delegates to this meeting , no fewer than thirty-four were represented at it . The two bodies not sending representatives were the operatives in the employ of Mr . Chadwick , of Throstle Nest , Stalybridge , and those of Mr . Jonathan Andrew , of Dunkinfield . Amongst the delegates were Richard Pilling , —( the man whoso defence at Lancaster , at the last assizes , excited much attention and somo commiseration at the timu .

      which was « -xpreaFed both by the attorney-general in his fepJy and the Jearned judge ) , and " General Lees , " another of the ChartiBtB \ hen tried and acquitted . —The meeting came to the unanimous deter-, ruination that there should be a general turn-out of the spinners , if Mr . James Buckley aid not withdraw the reduction he was alleged to be seeking . They also agreed to draw up a list and to require all the ma&iers to agree to it . —Mr . Robert Newton , deputy constable of Afibtou , was present till about midnight , when he left . We believe , however , tlhat the chairman ( whose name we have not heard ) and a few of the delegates remained assembled till about two o ' clock in the morning , and the probability is , that they were engaged in drawing up a list .

      Toesdat . This morning placards , of which the following is a copy , were sent to the various mills and mill-owners , and in the course of the day were placed in various shop windows in the town : — To the Master jlanufaclvrers of Ashlon and its Vicinity . Gentlemen , —We , the Operative C -tton Spinners in your employ , address you , en this occasion , in a . spirit of " conciliation . We are aware that a number of you are paying considerably lower for your spinning , tban others in the town , and we are desirous of beinj ? paid

      by the following list , which we consider is nothing but a . fair and impartial ona . We .-we sorry thai a reduction shomtl have been offered to some pBrt of our branch at a time -when there was not the least necessity for the same , and we hope that the reduction efivred may be avtr&ed , ana that tha calamitous eonsfqaencea of Aui ? nst last may not be repeated on the present occasion . The following liBt is nothing bu * . just ; we ask for nothing more , and we hope , as some of you are paying the prices asked , that you will at once acwdo to the request of Uie Operative Cotton Spinners of Ashton and its viclctty .

      Untitled Article

      if not the whole of Messrs . Rayner ' s weavers immediately left work and joined them . The body of turn-outs then proceeded to the mill of Mr . ireter , Plats , in Old-fitreet ; where they shouted ; but they werenot joined by any of the hands from that mill . The mob then wenKto the mill of Mr . Mellor in the same street , where a number of the most aoti ? e of them , chiefly lads and young men . of seventeen or eighteen , prooeededl to olose the window shutters of . the lower rooms of the mill , next the street . One of tho Messrs . i Mellor instantly went out , and Mr . Robert Newto ? being fortunately in the

      neighbourhood with a laqmber of the police , went in among 9 t the turnouts ; this had i he effect of causing them to separate and disperse in different directions . We have hot heard ' that they went to any other mill after this time , wjhich was a little before three o ' clock ^ Lest any . violence should be attempted , there being only a company of the 8 th Foot in Ashton •—( at present stationed in the Town Hall ) , —information of these proceedings was Bent to Nlancheater , and Major Hartley ; commanding the 8 th Regiment , whoso head Quarters are in Manchester , proceeded to Ashtou at four o ' clock this afternoon .

      During the afternoon , the police were stationed in the streets , to prevent any parties from being intimidated . We have not heard of any acts of violence being attempted , and all was quiet when the last train left in the evening . From enquiries we made last evening in Ashton , we learned that a belief existed in many quarters , that the torn-out would become general throughout Ashton , this ( Wednesday ) morning . On tho other hand , several woll-informed persons were of opinion that the prices paid by many of tha principal firms differed in so slight jt degree from those in the men ' s list , that somo arrangement would be made . It appeared to be admitted on all hands , that the turnout , even if it became general , could not be of long

      duration . Wo understand that on Monday evening 'tho hands of Mr . Mellor gave notice that unless the ! full rates were given they should turn out on Wednesday morning . We are told that amongst other i firms Mr . Mason , ; who is said to be giving as ihigh wages as any employer in Ashton , Mr . Abel j Buokley u , nd Mr . Mellor are giving prices equivalent ! to those in the men ' s list , and agree to accept that jlist . Mr . Mellor states that , having taken the average earnings of forty-two spinners for sometime fpaa , he finds that average to be 27 s . 6 d . per week . His hands are by no means desirous to turn out ; but i they say that , if they were to continue working , and Mr . James Buckley ' s hands to remain out , he would soon fill his mill wiih fresh hands , as there are so ¦ many wanting employment ; and , therefore , liuless 1 there is a general turn-out , it ivould be perfectly

      useless for tho hands of one mill to contend against a [ giugla employer . Unless , therefore , all the mills ' turn out this day ( Wednesday ) , they declare their [ intention to continue at work at the present rate of rwages . Mr . Peter Elatt states ihathe is giving the [ list prices , and that he had received no notification ifroin his hands up to last evening of any intention to : quii their work . ladeed , it ia said , that only a few ( O F the ematl ^ r manufaoturerB are paying the low [ prices , and this is supposed to furnish ground for the ipelief that the turn-put will not become general ; or tif so , that it wilt not last long—the difference ^ b etween present prices and those proposed by the lop ^ Sjtives being generally speaking so small as jrej $ ar 48 the great majority of the manufacturers , Ithat ' ii seems to offer every facility for an amicable iarrangement . |

      It is not very clear , how that which in the origin ' was a turnout of tho spinners only , should have jbeen so strenuously supported by the weaverB , who inow appear the more determined of the twi branches ! of mill hands in their resistance . Wo have he * rd ithis accounted for by the statement , that tho weavers iare desirous to obtain the prices paid tfeem before the last reduction made in March , 1842 ; but if this [ bo so , we . fear , that bo far ^ iogards thia class of ¦ mill-operatives , tho'dispute ™ may riot bo so easily

      settled , as a return to the prices paid prior to March , 11842 , would j > laco their wages con ! -iderably above the rates paid throughout the whole of the country . ¦ At present , the Adi ton prices tor weaving are as high as those paid throughout the county , wherever power-looms are used ; The rate of wages to the lAshton spinners was also fixed by the in&store' list of March , 1 * 42 , which wau then agreed to by tho operatives } and which , it ia alleged , has been « te « parted from by some four or five firms , thus leading to the results we have noticed .

      Thb CHAtttisfs . —Wo understand , that on Sunday evening , the Ashton Chartists had a meeting in ^ their room , at Charlestown , when they came to a resolution , that they would not mix themselves up Jwith this movement iu any way j so that it should be left perfectly free from all political complexion or ^ character .

      GROSS ATTACK OF A COAL PROPRIETOR UPON 1 | 1 R . D . SWALLOW , THE AUTHORISED AGENT OF THE COLLIERS' UNION . A meeting of Colliers having been announced to tafec place at Hulton L me Ends , near Bolton , Air . David Swallow atte ' nded for tbe purpose of explaining the nature and objects of the Miners' Association . Upon his arrival he ! was informed that none of the publicans in the villagejdurst allow the meeting to be holdcn on their premises . Mr . SwalJow therefore proceeded to make arrangements for addressing the Miners in the open air . He then discovered that a coal proprietor , and ft magistrate of the name of Hulton , had taken measures both , of a coaxing and coercive nature , to prevent the attendance of bis men ; coaxing , inasmuch as the coal king bad descended from his high station , and paid for ale , and played at bowls with , those in bis employ , coercive , as he bad determined no meeting

      should be holden . Mr . Swallow proceeded to address those about him , and had the gratification to find that tbe utmost good feeling prevailed among his audience , whesa numbers augmeated , notwithstanding tbe temptation of ] tbe ale and the bowls , till tbe squire was deserted . He came running foaming with rage , and shouting at tha top of hia voice , 'I saj , you , Sir . Swallow , youj must not preach here ; if yon are not off instantly 1 shall give you in charge of flii ^ ik ^ j for I have received jorders not to allow-public mestiiw&ia the thoroughfares . ; " Mr . Swallow tben asked bt ^^^ p ^ n what authority be was acting t" He said ^^ . ; % §* a magistrate , ) and it was his duty to disptrSd- ^ meetings . " Mr . Swallow replied , " there was n ^ ' ^ obstruction , eiiher for carriages . or foot passengers f ^ aJfSjj

      respectrally asked , « what rea ^ nj Jit .

" Mr . H . then took sir . Swallow by tho arm anil told him " it he was not gone in a few minutes , he wpuld send him to prison . '' Mr . Swallow , therefore , bid the men disperse quietly , and go to thwr respe , flt ve homos ; and then turning to Air . H . said , '' youi' craft is iu danger ; " to which ha replied , " I wiu not bo intuited ; I do not ma a to prevent the men from goinf ! wHb . yon to another place ; get a field if you

      can , and then | l will not interrupt you . " Mr . S , "No , because you aare not : but Sir you know all- tbe property around here belongs to yourself . Will you allow us a field to meet in ?'• " No , " said he , " t will Hot" " No . " said Mr . Swallow . «• I did aot . ttbiait you would . Havo you not threatened the publicniia if tbey allowed us to meet ; and does not your w ' hole conduct prove td . it soudveud the diffusion , of intelligenca among your vassals £ ' | Well , ' * said be , " you have no occasion to come Here to teach us ; we know more than you do . " To which Mr . Swallow said , "I do not know quite as much [ about ' Peterloo' ; I had to go and work io & coal pit , ' vhen very young , to help to aggrand : ! - ) aucb men as you . " Being then near the dooc of a public bonse > iha landlord to « k Mr . Swallow by the Bhoulderand attempted to push him forward , saying , " f along , yo , u shall not come in xwy hovwe" Two

      colliers , the mere lickspittles of a tyrannical employer , cams forwanl ] and said , " dun yo noa the const quence oa talltin abeawt Peterloo toth' Squoite ? " Mr , S wallow wanted to reaaou with them ; but finding their oljsct was to kick up a row , be left them , and proceeded on his way . Tha colliers in this village ate receiving less wages than et any other colliery in Lancashire . They are paid once in each month , and have , on some occasions , what they call a long month : that is , Uvn weeks . This was tho case at Mr . Swallow ' s visit ; and be found , upon enquiry , that , after payiDjf drawers and other incidental expenceB . a many of tbe colliers h « d only 25 * ¦ for their five weeks labour !!

If it benot too much to ask from him , wo should like to hear from him daily .

      On Friday , the 4 th of August , that very day : twclve months that Bailcy ' H hands , of StalybriciKe , jturned out , the sp ' mners of James Buckley , of Royicroft , Ashton , turned out , after a fortnight ' s notice , iof n reduction of twelve and a half per ctut ., [ which will take from the wages of the spinner ;* nd this pieevra fivo shillingB per week . A meeting vfa ' s called by placard for tho same evening , which 'took place at eight o ' clock , in the Wellington * oad meeting room , Charlestown , Ashton , when , notwithstanding thowetness of the night , the room iwas filled to Buffocation .

It was also reiaolved that five persons be appointed to Hje Mr . Backley , and ask him whether he would withdraw his intended reduction , or risk another general / strike . It was also agreed that each shop should . send a delegate to tit on committee , prepaid d to say what should be done ' . to prevent this reductioa .

Dixon < oar Manchester correspondent , during his illness , writes as follows , by Thursday night's posi : — Since I last wrote , the turn-out at Ashton-under-Lyne has assumed a very serious aspect . Every mill in that town is completely at a-stand . A meeting was holden at six o ' clock this morning , near to Thkoker ' s Foundry , which was addressed by Pilling , Lee , and others ; when it was

      determined that work should entirely cease , until one uniform list of prices be paid throughout the district . There could not havo been less thall twenty thousand persons present , and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed , kfter the meeting broke up , a great number of the operatives formed themselves into a procession , and walked through the principal street * . The greatest exoittment prevails . The civil , authorities are on ] the alert , and the military arc ready to act at a moment's notice . It is very likely that Stalybridge Will follow the example of the Ashton men , as a deputation has waited upon the Committee at Ashton , for the purpose of obtaining the proposed list of prices .

      THE TIMES MUCK AT MR . O'CONNOR . In tho Morning Chronicle of Wednesday , tho following appeared as an advertisement : — " The pariies connected with the " Times' newspaper baviug most jindustriously endeavoured to mix my name up in j several shapes and forms with the Rebeecaite disturbances iu Wales , and knowing r . he deadly hatred of the said parties towards me in consequence of my opposition to Walter , the printer of that journaijas well as to his sen , in their attempt to achieve the representation of Nottingham—aware of its profligacy , and of the lengths to which the said parties would go tp gratify their personal feelings of animosity—I take the presem opp 6 rtunity not only of Idisclaiminfi any cdHiieciion with the

      Rebeccaites , but of repealing tuy previously published caution to the working-classes of Wales to abi ' . ain from any connexion whatever with the Rebcceaiks ; and further , t ! o state that I have received two letters from Merthyr Tydyil , assuring me that it is the unanimous determination of the working-classes of that district not to take any pare in ihe Rebecca proceedings ; not to attend private meetings , or in any way to countenance secret associations ; and furthermore , that during my stay at Bath a deputation from the htart of ; he disturbed districts waited upon me , awd assured me that tho working p-ople of that locality had come to a similar resolution . I had

      promised to visit Wales during the present summer ; and notwithstanding tbit I publicly announced the existence of the Rebecca , riots as my reason for not fulfilling that pronvse . and although I addressed the peopla of the ffower IJa-in . eta on Tuesday , Aug . 1 st , and although jl spolec at liie Rotunda on the following uight , yet have the matasets of the Times the insolence to announce , iu a leading article of that paper on Friday ias ) , the wilful falsehood that I was thon hovering about tha disturbed districts , in the hope of taking advantage of tho present disturbances ; and I further find the following P . S . to ( he letter of th « Times correspondent in Wales , iu this morning ' s

      paper : — j . " P . S . With reference to the Rebecca meetinglasfc night , I should have mentioned that one of Feargus O'Connor ' s representatives , from the Northern Star , attended . He apppnred padly frightened , for the farmers woul'J have nothing to do with him . They , however , allowed him to be present . " 'there can be no d 9 ubt that tho ^ e timely libels are published forjho purooseof having their due weight with the sp ? c ! at jury of f- ' urrey gentlemen v > ho are to try aia acdpn for libel brought by me against the printer of thqi" Times'" a ml for which trial Thursday next has ] , been appointed . However , lesf any person may have presumed to represent himself as having authority from me , in the capacity of reporter or correspowferit , spy , or informer , to attend Buch

      meetings , I beg leave to announce , in the most unequivocal jlanguago , that no person has received any such authority from me ; that I have neither reporter \ correspondent , or spy in the Rebecca camp ; nor htavo 1 any , the slightest , intention of taking any further part in the present disturbances , thaii tha \ of u'sing all my power and all my influence to provent thje labouring ; classes from having any hand , act , or part in the Rebeocaito proceedings . Aa it is too expensive to advertise my refutation of the Times slander in all the daily newspapers , 1 have to request , asian art of common justice , tha- other journal will ] allow this advertisement a place in their columns .
