      THE STATE PROSECUTIONS . The Abatekbkt Pl ^ a .. —In reference to tha reception of this Plea Ijy the Conrt , agtinst the wish and efforts « f the Crown lawyers , and in referencs to the tfedxb&t It may have © ntte whole proceedings , the Dublin Monitor of Monday has the following : — " The four-day rule to plead expires to-day , and it 1 b arranged that the demurrer win be argued te-merrow . Out readera are aware of the point to be argued : It is ¦ whether the witnesses on whose evidence the Grand Jury found the Bill of Indictment should have been rworn in open Court , or before the Grand Jury . « This point ia raised on the 1 st and 2 d Tick , c . 37 , previous to which act all "witnesses in Bills of Indictment -were sworn in open Court , under the 56 th Geo . HL , c

      87-" The Act of Victoria , however , recites that the practice of swearing -witnesses in open Court caused delay and otiier inconveniences , and **>»• " goes on to enact &b follows : — ¦ Ii is therefore enacted that In &U cases -where bills of indictment sre to be laid before Grand Juries in Ireland , for their consideration . Ihe Clerk of the Crotcn at Hie Assizes , and the Clerk o / ihePeaoe at Quarter Sessions , or his or iheir icpuiy , shall endorse upon the back of each bill of indictment the name or names of the witness or witnesses for the crown in support of such bill , and send the same so eniioisfed to the Grand-Jary ; and the foreman , or other member of the Grand Jury , twelve members of the Grand Jury being there at the lime , shall , previous to tb . 6 examination of any witness -whose name shall appear endorsed , administer to such witness the oath or solemn affirmation required to be token by Rich . -witness .

      *• Now , it will be perceived that no mention what-1 ever is made , in the above clause , of the Court of Queen ' s ' JBexch ; and this omission , it is argued by tin Counsel ' for the Traveraers , is fatal to ti . e Bill of Indictment , because the -witnesses should have been sworn in open . Court , as provided by the 56 th Geo . III ., c 87—the azbseguent Act of Ticfcoria T" * fring no allusion whatever ¦ to the Qaeens Bench . * i 11 Should the Court decide wiih the Traversers , the Indictment "will thereby be quashed , and th = whole , proceedings rendered Bull and vt > id—if , however , the decision be in favour of the Grown , then the Tra- > Terser * will have to plead to the Indictment forth- ; ¦ with : tatwe understand tnat tbey bare other motions , la xeserre .

Thomas O'Hagax . -Patrick il'JE-roy Gartlan . Attorney .

      TrtB Attozney-QeKeHd— I apprehend that the parties OQjht io appear here in person , and soi by attorney . Thpae proceedings are most important , and I cannot take-upon myself to allow anything to take place with regard to them that approaches to anything like irregularity . There is no gentleman , except the parties immediately concerned , authorised by the records of the court to hand in any documents of this nature . Toey maybe handed in debene esse now , and let the parties attend in person to-morrow morning , and Jet is be fallen as if they appeared to-day . And now 1 apply to your lordships that the demurrer may be argued tomniTow .

      Mr . Porde ( solicitor to the parties)—My lords , I am quite taken by surprise by the application of the Attorney-General , -and I submit that the course he "wishes should be adopted is opposed to the rule of the court In the case of the Queen r . Bagnell and others , in "which I myself was the agent , and which -vras argued on the 2 nd of JfoYembfer , 1842 , in ordti wai mad ^ L > t tr " . e parties to join in demurrer within fonr days . On tiie 16 Vh of November following it was ordered that issue should be joined , and the . cause set down for argument in the next term ; in the meantime books ef tiie proceedings to be furnished to the judges at the Joint expense of the parties . That was the order of the Court of Queen ' * Bench in this case , and-1 apprehend yonr Lordships will not depart from that rule in the present case . The defendants have a right to compare the books of proceedings , as they are bonnd by them .-

      Sir . Justice Burton—Hava you no counsel m court , 2 dx . Porde ? Mr , Forde—We have had no notice to have counsel in attendance , my Lord { a laugh ) . 2 ut . Justice Perrin—Why , I see several of your counsel present . I see Mt . -Wiuteside , and > lr . M'Bon ^ ash , and several others—( laughter ) . Mr . M'ltonough—My Lord , 1 have not bten instructed in this Blatter . I appear here on the present occasion quite by accident Me-Whlteside—My Lord , 3 am in the same position—^ ( a laugh ) . Mr . Shell said he wished to call the recollection of ihe court to tne fact , that to-morrow ( Tuesday ) bad fcoen fixed by their Lordships for proceeding with the «¦» of LordHawardeti c Duffy , proprietor of the Nation newspaper ; and surely the Attorney-General haa no light to displace that case , it having been fixed foi bearing .

      The Attorney-General iaid be could not of course attempt to dictate to the conrt what should be done on the present occasion ; 'but -with every respect for the court , be claimed it as aright that no case should be heard until the argument on tie dtsmrrer was heard to-morrow . He trusted that it -would not be said that it -was impossible to bring forward a case of this importance at the « 2 rl 5 est period . If there was an error in copying the paper books , it would be discovered when the argument case on ; but he apprehended there "was none . And he trusted that the court'would not be a party to delay

      these proceedings further- He denied that there was any «* der of the conrt -which required any joining iu expenses for papers or boots . The books ITUich it was necessary should be laid before the Judges -were Teady , and would be delivered to their Lordships this evening . Mr . Justice Burton said , in reference to ' what bad fallen from Mr . Shiel , that the court did order Lord Hawarden ' s ease to' stand for Tuesday , bet they made no rule tisat it should be htarS first . , and , of course , it must be subject to postponement if there "was a crown ease broszht forward .

      THE ATXOB . NET-GBSEB . AI ~ We really are sorry to learn that the health of Mr . Attorney-General Smith is giving way under the severe labour and great mental anxiety consequent on the State prosecutions . Yesterday he was so unwell that leeches were applied to Mb temples , anQ biB friends feel much anxiety respecting biB health . Mr . smith co » many good points abiut him . He made his way to distincUnn in hia profession by his own unaided industry i » d ability , and we cannot forget that his very first act as Attorney-General was an act of leniency towards the press ; nor hsj his , even In the present prosecutions , singled the press out for separata prosecution , aa Biackburne undoubtedly would have done . Mr . Smith was in Court this day , and looked exceedingly unwfclL—Dublin Monitor , Monday .

      TOKT FOREBODINGS . Men bsgin to ask each other—men disposed to give every support to the adainistratton of Sir Robert Peel , and to the Executive at the head of which is Lord de Grey—jb Government serious in its prosecution of Mr . O'Connell ? Are the means sufficient for the ends ? Are the tools suited to the work ? Nay , some there be who go the length of doubting whether—supposing a conviction to be the result of a trial—a truckling and unworthy compromise may not follow . These are dangerous and damaging questions—these are serious and awful doubts ; and the state of feeling which induces the one , or generates the other , is ruinous to the Government , and may proVB fatai to the country . — Dublin Mail .

      THE PREPABATIONS . Her Majesty " s steam-rtrip Volcano has arrived in Kingstown harbour , having on board 600 cases of ball cartridge and two light field pieces , with suitable ammunition . They will be deposited in the ordnance stores . The most formidable preparations -which have yet met the eye are to be seen at Richmond Barracks , situate on the south side of the city , a little beyond Kilmainham , which are being pnt in a state of the most complete fortification , with portholes , loopholes , embrasures , breastworks , and all the other works deemed

      requisite by the science of war for Enccessfnlly resisting the attacks of an enemy . Prevention is no doubt better than cure ; but really , after the experience of some few weeks , and -when it -sms made as clear as noonday that the mere ordinary powers of the law , if only asserted with dignity and firmness , were quite sufficient to repress any overt act of sedition , whether made manifest at monster meetings , or within tbe naked walls of the Conciliation Hall , these very imposing •¦ preparations ' * B 9 em at best bnt calculated to excite alarm and distrust amesg the ¦ well-affezted portion of her Majesty ' s Irish subjects . —Times .

      In the north , too , according to the Belfast Sewsleller , the authorities are preparin ? " for the worst : — * ' The ordnance Btores at Carrickfergus are at present nearly as full of implements of war as th 9 y were during the rt-ign of Napoleon . A large quantity o ! provisions , consisting of beef . po : k , and biscuits , have been 1 stored * of late . Does tee Government apprehend a siege !"

      THE SIGNAL FIRES . The Drogheda Consei tyjiixx thus notices the spread of the signal fire * ia . the north : — " Oar Billyjamesduff correspondent informs us that the Protestants of that neighbourhood were alarmed by the appearance of signal firtB on the surrounding hills , as far as the eye could discern . The Protestants of the town , detming these signals as only a prelude to a general attack , assembled and prepared their fire aims , whilst these in the country barricaded their houses , prepared ammunition , determined to act as their forefathers did . Now , we ask , what were the police or the authorities about , who did not immtdiattly proceed to those fires and scatter the rebel symbols to the wind ? We -would impress on the Protestants to be firm , be prepared , but not rash—the poor deluded creatures who thus act are only the tools of more cautious but designing rebels ; and are therefore more to be pitied than otherwise . "

      In Cork , according to the Conslilulioti : — " Fires were again lighted in several parts of the eonnty on Thursday sight At Cirrigfsrohill the preparations appear to ha ^ e begun » s early as one o ' clock , at TThich hour the Temperance Band ' struck np , ' and continued playing about the neighbourhood for the remainder of the day . Ths first fire was lighted about half-past four o ' clock behind the house of the Repeal Warden , and the signal was immediately answered from the eurrounding bills . Over towards Agfiada , and along through Cloyne down to Yougbal , they arose in thick succession , and in the lice of view between Middleton and Co / k a gentleman residing within a few miles of the city counted at the same moment no fewer than forty-five . They seem to have consisted of

      straw , for in ten ainutts after he had counted them the blsze dietf away , and they were txtinct . The police visited six in his neighbourhood , but found only « mbers , and a few straws . Everything was quiet , the houses closed , and the psople apparently in-bed . Wo have heard that the fires on Saturday night were ordered in the chapels a fortnight previously , bnt that the people were enjoined to « eerecy . We cannot nay bow this may be , bnt it Is regarded as singular that the Temperance Bands , which in many places had been eilent for four or fire weeks , were very generally out on that evening ( in Innoshwnon , for instance , where , about seven o ' clock , they sallied forth playing Garryowen ! J and it is stated that the first Ere lighted in the pariah of Billinadee was in the priest ' s lawn . "

      MVB . DER 0 CS ATTACK . Mr . John Byrne , one of the coroners for the county of Lontb , held an inquest at Toorus , on the Carrickmacross-road , which was adjourned to Tuesday , the 14 th inst , to be held in the to-wn of Louth , upon the body of Nicholas Byrne . Mr . OKeilly , magistrate , and Mr . Little , chief constable , were present at the investigation . After a re * pectable jury bad been sworn , several witnesses were examined , when it appeared in evidence that the house of the deceased was attacked by a body of men on the night of the first of November last , when the family were in bed ( having previously broken the ¦ windows of several houses in the neighbourhood ) . The deceased and his son got np to defend their bouse , when

      he was knocked down by a blow of a stick , which fractnred his skull , of which he lingered until the 11 th inst ^ -when be died . After receiving the blow of the stick , another person made a stab with a knife at him , which , however , be escaped , the knife having only struck the door . } Dr . Gartlant and another medical gentleman , who had previously attended the deceased , deposed that the fracture was the cause of death . The Jury , after deliberation , returned a verd ct of WiUul Murder against Thomas Hinchy and two other persons , whose names it would not be prudent to mention at present . Hinchy was committed by the coroner . We are informed that two of the persons engaged in the Baid murder were arrested , and bailed , and of course have absconded !—Drogheda Conservative .

      " THE LIBERATOR ' S WELFARE . " It was announced some months since , says the Times , that it was the intention of the heads of the Roman church to have the name of Mr . O'Connell inserted in the Bock of Common Prayer , immediately after that of Hex Msjssty . Whether the design has been actually carried into effect or not there are no means of asccrtainine ; bnt the following paragraph , extracted from the Freeman ' s Journal , would imply that such was really the case , and the more bo as a similar announcement "was made in a late number of a Queen ' s County paper : —

      " On last Sunday the holy and adorable sacrifice of . the mass was offered cp in the parish church of Ballintrs , county of Donegal , by t ' oe Rev , Maurice Tunney , Romrm Catholic clergyman , for the spiritual and temporal benefit -of the Liberator . The Bev . Gentleman was joined by the entire congregation , who seemed , on that occasion , to redouble their fervour and devotion . "

      Respite . The Limerick Reporter says : — We hava to announce , and we do so with feelings of the utmost satisfaction , that the unfortunate men now lying in oar county gaol , under sentence of death , have been farther respited to the Ifitb . of April . Indeed we may say , although not on authority , that the sentence will never be carried into effect ; and that probably , in the end , their fate may be far different from what every one expected . I 3 iP 0 fiTATIO > ' ¦ OS AS 3 JS . Mr . Carte , on the part of the Customs , applied to the magistrate * for a summons , under the new Arms' .

Thomas iieagher , Esq ., son c f the Mayor ef Waterford , waB in tha chair . The attendance was very numerous . Mr . O'Connell , who entered the Hall at ene o ' clock , moved the following resolntions in reference to the Catholic hierarchy and clergy of Ireland : — " Resolved—That we , the Catholic members of the ioyal National Repeal Association , kave read with the profoundest respect , and the most dutiful acquiescence , the resolutions adopted at the meeting of our venerated Archbishops and Bishops—the sacred and venerated ?]!* a ™ hy otlQ * Catholic church in Ireland ; these ^ o « Bev . and Very Rev .

      hirelings into the place of the sainted pastoro of faithful flocks . Resolved—That the Catholic laity ot Ireland , who never deserted their venerated clergy , even iu the midst of pains , penalties , confiscations , and death , gratefully . acknowledge that their clergy ( although against them persecution most vehemently raged ) never deserted their faithfal followers ; and they are convinced that all the bribes of England could not purchase off one single C&tbolic clergyman from the people throughout this entire isle . "

      With respect to the Catholic clergy of Ireland ( continued Mr . O'Connell ) , this was emphatically the time to apeak outr-they bad chosen the period , and had spoken out manfully . They had declared their intention of refusing any Government allowance : that which people refused least was a monied provision , bat they would not have any of it . ( Cheers . ) What had religion to do with the mammon of the world ? What connexion in Holy Writ , and the traditions of the Fathers , between mammon and religion ? Yes , there was a connexion , but it -wag the cusnexion of antagonism—the opposition of one to the other—tha warning voice never to be stained by the foul lucre of gain . ( Hear , bear , and loud cheera ; . Mr . O'Connell having been called upon , left the association , and proceeded to the Court of Queen ' s Bench , where his presence was required . The amount of Repeal Reut was announced as £ 932 13 s . 6 d .

In wind , he is as calm and composed as in the days of youth and health , and bis wounds are progressively yielding to skilful treatment and the strength of a constitution naturally healthy and robust . Mm . Waller , though Buffering much from the mental anguish of witnessing the sufferings of | her husband and sister , is gradually convalescing . The condition of Miss Vereker . though not without hope , ia still very precarious and critical ; and , though favourable * ymptoma have shown themselves , cannot be yet said to have regained her consciousness or sensibility . The honest , loyal , old butler is

      still suffering severely from the contusions and bruises he received in defence of his master and family ; but from the nature of his hurts , he is likely to be soon able to handle bis weapons again , if so good a cause r . quire ir . The name or this worthy has been kindly furuisbed us , and , in announcing it with all respect and honour as William Larkin , we introduce to the public a fellow-subject , and fellow-countryman well deserving of public admiration and gratitude—well entitled not merely to the celebrity of a brave and honest man—of an attached and faithful servant—but of such reward as the publio munificence should confer on singular merit , for the encouragement of such principles and conduct . We throw out this hint as a feeler , and shall take other occasions to improve it The recovery of Mr . Braddell , we understand , progresses slowly but satisfactorily . ''—Timee , Wednesday .

      THE POPULAR MEASURE . " It appears by the subjoined paragraph , extracted from a G ilway paper of Saturday , that a partial solution is given of , the hitherto unexplained Assemblage of a naval armament on the Irish coast . The fict of it being feund necessary by the authorities to rtquire the aid of a brace of war steamers , in addition to the assistance or horse , foot , artiliery , and polico , for the purpose of enforcing the collection of the poor-rate , afift rds pregnant proof of the admirable working' of this most obnoxious measure :

      " Her Majesty ' s war steamers the Dae and Comet arrived here in port on Tuesday night last , and have been detained making arrangements for taking on board the following formidable force , for the protection of the collectors of poor-rates along our western coast and pait of Connemara : —Captain Duff , R M . ; a company of the 61 st R ginient , and forty of the indefatigable , or police force , under the command of Sub-Inspectors Coffey , from Dunmore , and Cloon , from the Outerard station , which , with thirty marines already on board , are to administer and dispense the blessings of the Poor LawB , being one of the recent enactments of the Legislature for the amelioration of Ireland . So much for Saxon laws and British protection . "

After the financial business was dispensed with , several minor resolutions were submitted to , and sanctioned by the delegates . The Secretary then gave in a report of the arrangements he had made for securing accommodation for the parties atleaAlog the forthcoming Conference , and a resolution was agreed to , approving of the atepa he had taken . Tbe Secretary was then ordered to make known to the

      various branches , through the medium of the Star , that for tbe future none of the Lancashire lecturers would be ahowed to attend public meetings in connection with the Miners' Association , unless such meetings had the sanction of a general delegate moetitig . It was then agreed that Henry Birrell fchould go into the Worslay district ; Dennett into the Aspull and Chorley districts ; Price into the Bury district ; Auty into the Oldhara and Dukenneld districts ; and Ramsey into the Macclesfiald district . After some desultory conversation upon the best means of promoting the interests » f the Association in this part of the country , and tbe best method to be adopted for securing permanent support to . the victims of coal king malevolence , it was unanimously resolved that none but those who were able to -furnish the moat satisfactory proofs of their having become victimised for their advocacy of . or adherence to , the principles upon which the Association is founded

      should be entitled to relief from its funds . Thanks were then given to the chairman , and the meeting separated . The Lancashire Secretary has secured , at a very reasonable ex pence , the spacious building called Cnrpentera 1 Hall , for tb » use of the delegates who may attend the Conference of miners about to be held in Manchester ; be will coiiuuuuicate farther particulars next week . He also wishes .-to inform the miners generally , and the Whitehaven men in particular , that nearly fifty pounds per week has to be appropriated towards relieving tbe men in Lancashire , who havo been sacrificed because they have dared to denouueo the tyranny and injustice so long practised by the Coal Kings aud tbeir Miuiova . The enormous sum above alluded to is paid with a cheerfulness which does honour to the Miners of this great mercantile county . They have also subscribed upwards of £ 80 for their Cumberland brethren , which has been faithfully transmitted to the proper quarter .

      LONDON . —City of London Political and Scientific Institution , Tuhnagain Lane . —On Tuesday evening last , a public meeting was held in the above spacious Hall , to hear a lecture from Mr O'Connor on the state of affairs . The time announced to take the chair was eight o ' clock ; but noiwithstanding the exceedingly unfavourable state of the weather—it being both wet aud cold—before the hour of seven , crowds were pressing around the door for admission . At eight o ' clock , the Hall wa densuly crowded . Mr . E . Mantz wa 9 unanimously called to the chair , amid loud applause , which having subsided , he pr&cceded to read the bill convening the meeting , during which time Mr . O

      Connov , who was received wiili loud aud long testimonials of welcome , entered the Hall ; after which the Chairman opened the proceedings in abrief address Mf . O'Connor then rose amid thunders of applause . He proceeded : —Since he last had tbe pleasure of meeting them , he had been taking counsel with the men of the north , and was glad to find on his return to town that Chartism was still progressing . This was no ticket meeting ; every man had free access , and might have free and fair discussion ( cheert ) . Siiice he became a public mau many changes had taken place in the political world . The scene of conflict now was Ireland . The enemy had commenced with a blunder , and would finish with a blunder ( hear , hear ) . During his recent tour he

      had unrolled seven thousand members under the new oirgunization . Some ef those who appeared to ddight in bickering and squabble had declared that the enrolment was illegal ; but their Attorney-General , Mr . Roberts , had taktn vip a oard ; he , a barrister , had taken out his card ; and last , not least , T . S . Duncombe , M . P ., had also become a member of the National Charter Association ( cheers ) . He had been with the movement nearly eleven years —since the 4 th of February , 1833 . What he then was he still was now . When he entered the House of Common ? , he found the Members engaged in a game of shuttlecock , endeavouring to toss power , pension , and place alternately from one faction to the other He immediately came to the conclusion

      that , for all good purposes , that House was rotten —that the evil lay in its constitution , and that it must be radically reformed—( loud applause ) . He determined to Bet himself to work , to effect this desirable change . The great difficulty was , then , to get working men to speak—to take an active part ; but now " a change had come o'er the spirit of their dream " : they had discovered that their security lay in their taking their own affairs in their own hands , and it was now , " Don't apeak tOO long "—( . cheers and Laughter ) . The object ; of Government should be , according to John of Greenfield , " all the stuff in the world for all the folk in the world "—( great cheering ) . A great topic now was the increase of erime : the Times had discovered that the diet of a prison was superior to that of the workhouse . Children hear th ^ r parents read the paper . The natural inference drawn is , if I am to

      be an outcast , give me the prison—( hear , hear ) . Every man must know that political disquietude is caused by social wrong . Heretofore one advocated one crolchet , some another j now , happily , they had merged into one grand , united cry tor the . whole Charter—teheers ) . They did not ask ror so much as was prommed under the Reform Bih : all they asked was , when they arrived at that age that they were permitted to make wills , inherit propel * y , &c , that they should have the power of giving a vote , — ( hear , bear , and cheers ) . Alluding to Ireland " , Mr . O'Connor satd , if we go to argument , , W clearly could it be shown she was entit ' ed to domestic legislation It was said there was a rebellion in Itetand . Could a whole nation rebel-JVo , no , no )? Then it must be quite clear for he admitted the rebellion , that the Tories had rebelled against Irelana- ( Ioud cheers ) . If they garrison Ireland wxth British bayonets , the people here are

      Untitled Article

      garrisoned with British heartsr- ( loud and protracted chering ) . If Ireland ' s advocates should be convicted , he ( Mr . O'Connor ) would travel fromthe Land ' s End to Johno'Groats , crying for justice and liberty for the victims , and he was sure he should get the support of the British people—( loud cheers ) . The Irish democratic press had not done its duty . Large and enthusiastic meetings had been held ; resolutions denunciatory of Hanoverian interference had been orwarded ; but the Irish press had taken no notice of them —( shame , shame)—bus they had still gone on , and were still determined to proceed , heart and soul , in favour of justice , through domestic legislation for Ireland—( great applause ) . Ireland had now spoken

      out as one man ; it was thought the voice was Pan's i —but shehad convinced us the voice was her own , ] and that nothing less than a Parliament of her own ; could or would allay her irritation . A bait' was also held out to the ] priests ; but it too was found useless . Mr . O'Connor ! then alluded to the City Election , j and congratulated the Chartists on the coarse > they had tken . 1 He had no doubt but Mr . Pattison would vote for | every point of the Charter . He was now engaged in preparing an History of Ireland—( cheers ) . He was there to meet any one and eyery one who had anything to advance against him—( enthusiastic and long-continued applause)—ft Jury like this was too large to be bought , impossible to be

      packed . Before such a tribunal would he submit to be tried —( repeated cheers ) . Men skulked from the I cause and then attempted to throw the blame on him . It put him in mind of the thirty-seven men at Nottingham , that went before " the magis- 1 trate . Who gave you that black eye ? Feargus O'Connor . Who put your nose out of joint ? Fear- i gus O'Connor ^ Who broke your arm ? Feargus i O'Connor . Who broke your leg ! Feargus O'Connor , j Who dislocated your shoulder ? Feargus O'Connor , j Yes , although twenty men fell aud laid upon him , ' Feargua O'Connor did it all—( loud laughter ) . So ; it was with these men . He had cut off the sup- j plies : and hence the cry against Feargus O'Connor .

      He had invited them all here to-night . He would compel them to come out , and try them before a meeting of this description , and brand thorn with that contemptj they so justly merited . He would never gife up jthe cause so long as he could wield tongue or pen . ) He knew little tricksters had told them their Organization was illegal , and that they were in danger : but he had entered first himself . His example w&b followed by Messrs . Roberts and DuQcombe and they had orders from all parts for cards . Mr . O'Connor then entered into , a most cheering account of his recent tour , which elicited loud and long-continued applause . Mr . O'Connor next made aj stirring appeal to them to join the Association ; and resumed his seat amidst loud

      and long continued applause . The Chairman then I called on any person who had any charge to make to step forward and make it , but there was no ] response . Mr . O'Connor again rose amid renewed ' cheering , and announced that he would enrol members in the room below , and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman ; which was seconded by Mr . > Clark , of thej Executive , who commended Mr . George White ' s pamphlet , in reply to Mr . Humphrey Parry , to the notice of the meeting . The vote was unanimously carried . Mr . Mantz made a suitable response . The meeting then dissolved , previously giving three oheera tor O'Connor , three for the Charter , three for Repeal , aad three for the Northern Star . s Upwards of one hundred members were enrolled . !

      State of Trade—Owing to the period of tha year , and perhaps , in some degree also , to the anfavourable state of the weather , the market yesterday was dull , especially for yarn , which is at present in very limited demand , and gen < rally declining in price . This is particularly the case iu those qnftH " ties usually t-iken by tha German buyers , who hare been for some time past very inactive ; but the higher , numbers of mule yarn have been ia sontf reqaest for the Indian market ? , and have fully . mai * taiued their price . In goods there was little chang ?

      to notice—the demand being generally Iimitefli except for low shirtings and printing cloth ( whici last | is somewhat isfiuenced by the pro 3 pect of * general turnout of weavers at Ashton-undertyB 6 ' ' We are glad to learn that there is , at present , very extensive demand for grey mousseliiiea w laine , which have now almost supplanted the ; n > < j " loom calicoes formerly manufactured in the neigj *" bourhood of Colne , and are become , when prints ^ a very important article of export to Germany tW the United States , a 3 well of domestic consumptw ? —From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday-
