      peculiarly necessary at the present time , when the country < was in such a sbtie « f extreme distress , that they should notrecklessW * - > - *; a , « s 5 the public money . Withregardto superaniinar -a allowances , he thought ^ hat pnblio tlisera ought to receive a suffident comperKtr on for their services , ana mat when those services -trere to lo-ger tbpurred they saoula hare no furtber claim upon the onntry . He was well aware that seductions could not be & once effected in these establishment , but toe considered that more economical plansjotujht i * future to be adopted . He asked \ he House to consider tbe snferags of the people ; they were bound to do-so ; and-fce think of metliods of relieving , instead -dt aagt-a-Tatin ^ , the burdens-snder wtocnUte conntry groarsd . He ^ wantedtoinow . whsthsttbe Government had any

      intestion of xeEeving tke people from the burden rf the Income Tsx , or , if not , whether they had say of relieving the great body of the community from the pressure of indirect taxation ? The Hon . -Gentleman concluded by moving his amendment , — " Thai at'the present period of-extended distress , it is the duty of "the House to consider the means of lightening the pressure of taxation on the people , by reducing'to the -greatest practicable extent the expenses of the military , as well as of the civO establishments of the country ; thit therefore it is expedient , thai the toting of any supplies should be postponed til } the estimates of tbe whole expenditure and the means to meet that expenditure be first furnished to the House . " ilr . Htjhe seconded the amendment . The question having been pat ,

      Mr . WitLiASJS objected to the expense of , the Irish tod the Metropolitan police , which were , intact , well trained military bodies , snpportad on ) ef the taxes ; and inquired why toe army was maintained on it * present extraTagant footing ? The Chaxcelxob . op the Exche ^ tjeb considered that reply should be reserved till the particular estimates were nnder discussion . Mr . Hume considered that with proper redactions in the expense of our establishment ? the income tax might have beenTendered unnecessary . He supported the amendment General Johnson also thought that the amendment TFa » a reasonable one . During the five nights of debate on the state of the country be had not heant one word in explanation of the real cause of the distress , which was overtaxation .

      Captain Po lhili referred the caus 9 of distress to the great and rapid increase of the population . Machinery was the corse of the country . On a division , Mr . Crawford's amesdment was supported by 15 , and rejected by 62 . The House then went into a eemmittee of supply ; and Sil Hesbt Hxbdisge brought forward tbe army estimates . As compared -with the previous year there is to be a xedncdon of 5 740 men , with a total saving on the entire estimates cf £ 133 , 000 . The reduction in the number of men was as large as could " be effected at this early stage in the re-establishment of peaceful relations , keeping in view the proper relief of regiments serving abroad , and the effective discipline of tbe army . After going through the various items , he conclude d by proposing the first vote , which was for 100 , 816 men for the land service .

      Mr . Huxe considered that if the number of troops in our colonies were reduced , we ^ onld afford to abolish the duties on cotton and -wool . He also censured the . system adopted towards the Boers of the colony of tbe Cape of Good Hope ; and re-affirmed that our distresses Arose from extravagance , as well as bad legislation . He trisked toe force to be reduced to what it was in 3835 ; and proposed an amendment that the vote be reduced hy 10 0 S 0 men . lord Akthttr Lbnsox considered tbat if we wished a better class of men to enter the army , we should increase the rate of pensions which was at present & miserable pittance of sixpence a day . Captain Iatabd would vote for the amendment if he were convinced that the cr .-dit and dignity of tbe country could be sustained by tke reduction , of which , however , he was not Batisfied . Mr . WrLLiXMS regretted that Mr . Hume had not moved -for a larger reduction .

      Sir Heset Habdi > " 9 £ explained that many of tne stringent regulations complained of , such as that reJiting to widows' pensions , were nat to be attributed to the Government , upon whom they were forced by the recommendations of the finance committees . He-denied that there were too many troops in any one of our colonies . After some further discussion , a divison took place on Mr . Hume " B amendment , when it was rejected by 106 io 20 . The next vote was for £ 3 619 , 327 foT the expenses of the army , "wnich was agreed to , as were the remaining vetea The vote for the expenses of the voluntee ? corps was objected to by Mr . Williams , bnt was carried tj S 3 to 23 . Sb James GbaH-i 5 I then moved the second reading of the registration of Voters Bill , reserving discussion to a future stage . The other orders of the day were then disposed of . and the Honsa adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Tcesdat Feb . 28 . lie Earl of Abskdeeh , in answer to a question from Lord Brougham respecting the instructions upon which our crnisers acted in their endeavours to suppress toe slave trade upon the African coast , took advantage of the opportunity tins afforded to expxes 3 his conviction that explanation only was necessary to remove the jealousy with which , in spite cf the anxiety of France to put an end to the slave trade , our exertions were still regarded in that conntry . The instructions which had been issued during the last twenty years were so inconsistent that the responsibility "was frequently thrown npon the naval officers engaged in this service of deciding

      upon most intricate and important questions of international- law , and they had , as -was to be expected , in some cases fallen into serious errors . The Government felt strongly "the necessity of furnishinjj officers with dear and unequivocal instructions upon as manjpoint 3 of difficulty as could fee anticipated , and a new and explicit code , founded upon existing treaties and the law of nations , had been accordingly prepared ; and as England had nothing to ^ conceal— -had none bnt her ostensible objects to attain—these instructions should be made pnblie , and would , he trusted , disabnse tbe candid portion of the French pnblie of the unfounded prejudice they now entertained . —Adjourned .

      v HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Ttjesdat , Feb . 28 . The Solicitos-Geseeai . moved that " The Sergeant-at-Arms and William Bellamy be . allowed to appear and appeal to these actions . " Tnis -was an action of false imprisonment nnder the Speaker ' s warrant , -which had "beeen issued against the present plaintiff ibr a breach of privilege , in having conducted , as attorney , certain actions brought by one Stockdale against Mi . Hansard , the printer of the House , for alleged libels contained in a report which Mi . Hansard had , printed by ita authority . The Sergeant had been served with a habeas corpus upon one of the arrests made by him in consequence of Stockdale ' s actions . The Attorney-General was directed by the Houae to appear ; he did appear ; and the

      Court held that the Speaker's warrant was in itself a sufficieEt answer . The present action being fi » false imprisonment under the same warrant , he -would propose that , as before , tie House should permit the officer to appear and plead . If thej were found by tbe Jury to have committed any excess in what they iad done , it was fit that they should be responsib&e ; if they were found to have committed no -excess , the warrant would be tkeir ^ complete justification . Sir T . Wilde regarded jthis proposal & 3 no less han a surrender of the privileges of the House . This House was , and ought to maintain itself , the sole judge of its own privileges ; and it had deserted its oxxlj in permitting the Speaker to plead to the action of Sir F . Burdett . He referred to the speeches made in Parliament by Sir H . Peel on Stockdale's

      case , which he considered as authorities against the bow proposed eourse of Governaent . Let not the Mouse , after the resolution it had passed , depart &om iteown principle , merely to set rid of a tentpora ^ imconvenieBce .

      Sir Thomas Wilde and tne Solicitor-General j agreed that no . important question would be prejudiced by taking out a summons to enlarge the time . Sir R . Peel , in the ex pect&tion that the time would be enlarged . propos > jd to adjourn the debate , which was agreed to . ; Lord Ashley rose to move " that an humble address be presented to he / Maje 3 ty praying that her Majesty will be gracion . sly pleased to take into her instant and serious co asideration the best means of diffusing the benefits and blessings of a moral and religious education a- jioDgst the workinng classes of her people . " After enlarging on the general importance of education , and the great increase of

      population during the pw ^ ent century , he drew the attention x > f the House to the present state of crime and ignorance , and of moral and intellectual degradation in Manchester , Birmingham , Leeds , and other populous districts , among the lower classes , especially -the younger portion of them . Drunkenness , cursing , promiscuous intercourse of the sexes , " were frightfully prevalent amffng the youth . They * knew no religion—no God ; the only knowbdge possessed by great numbers of them was t ' nat of the exploits of Dick Tarpin and Jack Sheppard . There waB evidence which established the * fact that not less than £ 25 , 000 . ^ 00 sterling are annually expended in ardent spirits % and it -was proved by medical men that a largo proportion—perhaps half—of all the cases of insanity are produced by the intemperance thus widely prevalent

      He was aware that what he asked would occasion some expense ; but if we would not consent to tax ourselves for the prevention of crime , we must be taxed more heavily still for . the puni-hment of it . The expense of oue convict for one year would educate more than one hundred children . He attributed much of the existing evil to the truck system , to the payment of wages at public-houses , and to the miserable condition of the people ' s habitations . The present state of things -could not continue for twenty years more , without producing a convulsion which must overthrow the whole fabric of society . It was remarkable that the better edncatcd poor vi ere net found among the insurgents in the late disturbances . This oountry owed a heavy debt to its poor , whose faults were mainly imputable to the neglects of those above them .

      Sir J . Graham agreed in the acknowledgment of this debt to the poor , and deprecated , on this important discussion of their interests , all interference of party considerations . He concurred in Lord Ashley ' s opinions as to the truck system and the payment of wages , and would be glad to join in any such further measure for the cure of those evils as could be enacted without a dangerous infringement upon private rights and contracts ; The state of the people ' s dwe llings , and the general arrangement of sanatjry regulations in large towns were subjects on which the Government was at this time actually occupied . He gladly gave his support to the present motion . He feared that Protestant England had more neglected the grand duty of educating the

      people than any other nation of Europe . The law had now been victorious ; the soldier and policeman had done their duty ; and the time was eome when the public instructors must go forth . The Govern ment had mo < t anxiously considered this necessity ; and he ardently wished that the House , laying aside all religious and political differences , would j-riu in endeavouring to find some neutral ground on which the Church and the Dissenters might amicably meet . He would now state what had been done , and what the ministers would propose to do . In Scotland there existed a parochial system of National education ; and grants had been made by the Committee of Privy Council to two great normal schools which bad been established in Edinburgh and Glasgow .

      and from which the whole kingdom would by degrees be supplied with instructors , teaching by the simultaneous system . Grants had also been made for schools in England—large grants , indeed , yet certainly not ade-quate to the need of the case With respect to the future , he would first propose that parishes should be united for the formation of district schools . The children to be there instructed should , in the first place , be orphans and other destitute panpers , or the offspring of poor parents willing t » let them be educated there . He would attach to each school a chapel , with a clergyman who should teach the liturgy and Catechism of the Church ; the children of . Dissenters , however , being exempted from attendance on those ministrations .

      and allowed to Te&eive religious instruction from any licensed minister of any denomination- He gave several particulars respecting the state of some of the larger manufacturing dis-tricts , showing a total want of the means of instruction there ; and then proceeded to the case of children not dependent on parochial relief , but employed in factories . He would propose that no child should be suffered to work more than six hours and a half in one day ; and that each should be obliged to attend school daily for three hours . The principle npon which grants had been nsually made lor the building of schools wss , that Itcothirds of the cost should be raised by private contribution . He would recommend that for the futuro one-third only should be required from private

      sources . The maintenance of ane school when built might be defrayed panly from small payments to be made by the children themselves for their schooling , and partly by a parochial rate of threepence in the pound . Ho wonld have the schools managed each by seven trustees , who should be , the cler ^ jman , the two churchwardens , and fonr persons to be nominated by the magistrates . The trustees should appoint the master , with the sanction of the Bishop . No child should be required to attend the worship of the Church of England , or the religious instruction imparied by tke master , if the friends of such child should object to his being brought up in conformity with the Church of England . TheBe provisions , he trnsted , would protect all classes , and afford complete security against all attempts at proseljtism .

      Lord John BtJSSELLfelt that the sums heretofore voted for the great purpose of education had been very inadequate , and , indeed , quite insignificant as compared with the amounts granted for other public services . On the details set forth by Sir James Graham } he would not , without more mature consideration , pronounce an opinion ; but as between the Church and the Dissepters , he regarded the principle of them as one which ought not to be opposed by those who had tbe great object of education really at heart . He illustrated the necessity of interposition upon this subject , by some evidence of the state of spiritual ignorance in the West Riding of Yorkshire , and expressed his opinion , that when a plan was thus fairly brought forward with a view to

      reconcile the consciences of all denominations , it wonld be not only folly , but wickedne-s , on the part of the House to reject it . His own objection was onlj that the scale of the provision was not large enough . Any plan for a purpose like this could be effected only by an Executive Government generally supported . He insisted on ihe importance of providing competent schoolmasters , and retaining them by sufficient inducements ; for it happened too often that , from the master ' s deficiency in zeal , or from his inaptitude for his duty , the children learned what was taught them in a superficial manner , and without any real understanding or feeling of it ; and

      where a master was well fitted for his duties , he was tempted to quit them by finding that he could get a better remuneration for his talents elsewhere . Some difficul ty occurred in the unwillingness of pareot 3 themselves to let their children attend sehool ; and he wished some means to be considered by which that unwillingness might be removed . He suggested also the expediency of providing some education for the classes above the poorest , so that the small farmers and tradesmen might net entertain a jealousy of the snperior means of education afforded to their workpeople . Lord Sakoon expressed his satisfaction at the prospects which this evening had opened .

      Mr . EwABff desired to iwaive theological differences , for the sake of the great object now in view . Sir C . BuKREti concurred . Mr . Shaw was disappointed that Dothing had been said about the extension of the educational principle to Ireland . Mr . C . Bulls * reminded the House of the vast total of charity funds specifically applicable to education , amounting to about £ 300 , 000 a year . There was another class of charities , founded forgiving Email sums to tbe poor . Such small sums were not only useless , but mischievous ; they were generally expended in drink , asd would bo much better applied in education . The amount of the foundations

      for this purpose was not less than £ 170 , 000 a year . Sir R . Ikglis rould not approve , in a ? system of national education , tbe avowal of an intention to exclude proseljtism ; since it must always be a duty to attempt the propagation of what we ourselves believed to be the truth . Still less could he approve the suggestion of diverting any charitable foundations from the purposes of their founders , unless those pHrposes could be proved to be immoral . Sir George Gbst hailed the prospect of improvement which now appeared to present itself through the cordial spirit of all partiep . He believed that Lord Coitenham was in communication with the Government on the subject of a legislative measure for rendering certain classes of educational charities more available than at present .

      Sir R . Peel said , that unless conviction were brought home individually to the mindB of all men in the wealthier classes that they themselves had shared the guilt of neglect in this matter , the good effected this evening would be but imperfect . With respect to the objection , on the subject of proselytism , the question was one of balance between good and evil ; and he was not willing , for the sake of the occasional good of conversion , to l et the present enormous evils , moral and religious , continue to press upon ns . He would be content to admit some modifications of educational charities , where the change of times and circumstances had rendered the original purposes impracticable ; bnt he could not concur in a proposal for diverting , even to so good an object as that of education , a bequest in tended for small donations to the poor . He de iSBOSQ theiluaiied scale on whiohGoTerwaent pro

      posed to begin their plan . Success in the manufacturing dtstricts , where the experiment was first to be attempted , would open ihe way ^ for it in the rural partsof the kingdom . Mr . Hawes thought the Dissenters / would not like a trust of which the clergyman of the parish was to he at the head . Mr . Acland was content that the comprehensive principle should be adopted in public schools ; bat he hoped that Government would not discourage the establishment also of such schools as private parties might wish to found for the education of children , in the principles of the Church of England alone . Mr . Smith O'Beien expressed himself but little satisfied . Lord Ashley , in reply , thanked the House for the reception which it had given to his motion , which was then unanimously carried , and the House adjourned .

On the morning of the 15 th , they again met in the marketplace , Hyde . Moorhouse was the chairmaD , and John Leach appeared . The , latter spoke . I hare notes of what he said . He alluded to the large sums of money which it took to support the Queen . He asked where that came from but the pockets of the poor 1 He finished by recommending the people to

      keep out until the Charter became the law . On the evening of tbe Bame day , at eight o ' clock , another meeting was held . Moorhouse spoke , but he simply announced a meeting for the evening of the following day . I went to it . Booth and Moorhouse were there . The former spoke at great length . He held a large sized placard in his hand , which I heard him read . He began by saying what an expense the Queen was to poor people , what quantities of wine she drank—( laughter)—what large quantities of spirits she drank , the number of fat oxen she consumed , the large number of sheep and lambs she eat , and that she cost the poor people annually £ 160 , 000 . At this time there was a report that the Magistrates were coming to take them , and Moorhouse

      leaped from the waggon , and said a meeting would take place on the following morning , at six o ' clock . At eight o ' clook a meeting was held in the Market-place , Hyde . Moorhouse acted as chairman , and Candelet , Leach , and Booth , and a man named Barlow , a factory operative , were present . An excavator got upon the waggOD , and said he wished them to turn out , and then the " navies" would be out in five minutes . A man , who said he was a delegate from Manchester , next spoke . He said he was sent from Manchester to inform the people of Hyde that he was in attendance at the hall as a delegate ; that the delegates assembled were 340 for the Charter , and eighteen against it ; for the wages of 1840 , or a fcale of wages : that the middle classes and

      all othor classes of people in Manchester were for the Charter . Candelet spoke . A proclamation from the Queen had been posted on the walls before that time . ( A copy wa « produced , and put in . It was dated August 13 , 1842 , and offered a reward of £ 50 for the apprehension and conviction of the rioters . ) Candelet said he did not care a straw for the proclamation , as their meetings were legal , and held in tbo day time , to conduct the interests of the poor ; that special constables and soldiers would be no use ; that bayonets in eight days time , will be of no use ; delegates were going about in the agricultural districts , warning and turning the labourers oul , —all except the millers and reapers of grain ; but in fact they wtre all nearly out ; then where

      would the military and special constables be 1 But as I am to be in Manchester at ten o ' clock this morning , I must conclude by telling you that when in the Hall last night , at six o ' clock , Mr . Beswick , superintendent of police , entered , and told the people that he was sent by the Magistrates , to inform the people there assembled that they were not allowed to hold thsir meetings any longer while the town was in that disturbed state . Three magistrates entered , and gave the people ten minutes time to disperse , but in five minutes ( said Leach and Candelet ) they were all gone . The battle was part won , and let us be true to one another , and never submit to go to work until we get all points of the Charter . John Leach next spoke . He said he

      was appointed one of the delegates to the great National Conference , and at ten o ' clock he bad to meet M'Douall , for he had sent him word that he longed to see him . I will collar him and bring him here with me this evening , and in eight day ' s time there will be a fixed wage by Act of Parliament , and tbe Charter will become the law of the land . He made some observations about the shopkeepers , saying that they were a hypocritical set , and bo on . I attended another meeting at half-past seven in the evening of the 18 th , in the Marketplace , Hyde . Leach was present . He commenced railing against the shopkeepers and tbe middle classes . Moorhouse , who was in the chair , said that there was a delegate from Gloesop , and Leach

      began to tell the meeting bow much money had been expended by tbo Spinners' Union , not one penny of which had been spent for tbe Charter . He went on to say—does not my friend from GIosbop tell you that there are many able-bodied men from Glossop-Dale , well armed with their bludgeons , and who are not frightened to use them . Where will the specials and the red-coated gentry be then f They will be glad to give in , and we will have them in large numbers to-morrow , to meet and go to Ashton . He called upon the people to be united , and so long as he lived , he would agitate , for the aristocracy of the conntry was bad , and , without alteration , would soon be worse . During the time I have been speaking of , the mills at Hyde were out of work .

      By Mr . Atherton—I am not aware that there was any distress at that time in Hyde and the neighbourhood . I do not know that the wages were low at that time . I know nothing about the matter either one way or another . By Mr . Pollock—I remember seeing a placard posted at Hyde , from the Executive Committee of theChartists to the People . I think it would be from the 14 th to the 19 th of August . A gnat many people read them . I can ' t say how many were posted—perhaps two or three . By Mr . Dundas—I will not swear that more than one of them was posted . I have read the opening and concluding passages of the one now produced , and to the best of my belief it is a copy . I will not swear that it is the same ; it might be wrong a word or two , or ten lines , or more . It is similar to tbe one I saw posted , and I believe it is the same .

      By Mr . Atherton—I laid the notes of the particular transactions on which I have been speaking before tbe magistrates every day , and gave such explanations as might be required . By Mr . O'Connor—I prefer swearing to the notes in the book . They are original , and not a transoript . I would not swear from memory , without the book to refresh me . John Leach and Candelet werei not brought before the magistrates : they absconded . Moorhouse was brought up . I appeared against him . I believe it was on Friday , the 26 th of August . The entries in my book bringdown the transactions to-&he 20 th of August . I did not produce the book , when I appeared before the magistrates . I could explain the reason why I did not show the book . Judge—Explain it .

      Witness—j found it necessary to convey the prisoners immediately away from Hyde to Stockport , in consequence of the inefficieucy of the protective force , aud the Magistrates committed them from there . I gave evidence from memory . 1 was examined before tbe committal of the parties . It is my duty to collect every information for the Magistrates , within my division , but I did not hear any particular expressions of distress existing . I am aware that the shopkeepers had meetiugs , and agreed to support the operatives . The town of Hyde was in a Btate of great tumult for more than a week , but after Leach left , we had no further disturbances . 1 have not made any entry in the book as to the day on which I saw the placard from the Executive

      Committee . The reason wsb , that when I pulled the placard from the wall , I delivered it to the Magistrates , aud placed my name behind it . 1 thought it w « u ] d have been here , and then I couid have sworn to tbe hand-writing , but it is not here . It was on theijth of August on which Leach said he was going as a delegate to Manchester . I have stated that it was on the 18 th when he returned . At the latter meeting , I don ' t recollect that he said any thing about the Charter . I might have made a little interlineation iu the book about the Charter , when brought before the magistrates , but not when before the Judge . The interlineation pointed out ¦ waa made on the Monday morning , when I went before tbe magistrates . I have not been examined

      since tbe Special Commission , at Chester . Tbe book has not been out of my possession since * except that I gave it to a constable , wrapped in paper , to bring from the inn , at Lancaster , to the Castle . I gave the same evidence at Chester as I am giving now . I remember perfectly that Leach spoke in a laughing manner , when he was referring to what had been said by the Mayor of Stookport , I should think that the counsel for the prosecution must have asked me respecting Leach ' s manner , from having read my depositions . I admit I may have made slight alterations in the book . The interlineations here apply for nothing —( laughter ) . I

      might have written in the book as I should have written in any other book , but not with the intention of giving evidence . Leach was an inhabitant of Hyde ; and I paid more attention to his speeches than those of any other party , because I knew him better than any of the others . I knew that Leach was a staunch advocate of the Charter , and a strenuous opponent of the Anti-Corn Law League . Mr . O'Connor—Then you have oonfined all the alterations you have made in the book to the Charter 1 ,..- ' - The Attorney-General—Don't let it be said that we have made wholesale alterations . I observe in one place there is the word " not" omitted .

      Mr . Dundaa—There are several other alterations , and not of a very tricing nature . By George Johnson , defendant—I am not aware that many distraints have been made upon the inhabitants of Hyde , during the last eighteen months , or what has been the increase in the number of paupers there . The Poor Law Guardians meet at Siookport , and not at Hyde , and therefore , I know nothing about the factB . Stookport is oat of my division .

      By William Pilling , defendant—I don't know that one factory labourer in Hyde , is now doing the work of three men . I don't know what you moan by the " coupling of jennies , " for I never was in a factory more than three times in my life . Defendant—Then you don't know what you ought to know—( Laughter . ) Mr . Dundas called the attention of the Court to the alterations which appeared in the book of the witness , and especially to one part of it wherein speaking of one of the speeches made b \ Leach , the words " tbey should do as was done in the time of King John , the people went to tbe King in a large body , and demanded 'Magna Charta , ' and it was granted ; and he ( Leach ) would recommend the people to keep out of work , and the Charter would soon become the law of the land , " wore added after the general body of the report had been written .

      The Attorney-General objected to the course of proceedings on the ground that his Learned Friends who appeared for some of the defendants , ware entering upon a cross-examination of that part of the book which had not been given in evidence . If they would consent to put the book before the Jury , as evidence , he should not object to the

      examination . Mr- Duudas did nob see that be was bound to offer the book in evidence . The Judge said that Mr . Dundas had a right to shew , if he could , the insertion of any fraudulent matter in the book , because that would go far to impugn the general accuracy of the whole . It was then agreed that tho book should bo put in as evidence , and Mr . Dundas proceeded with his cross-examination . The witness , on being called upon to explain the reason of the addition to Leach ' s speech , said that he made a practice of examining all the speeches previous to submitting them to the Magistrates ; and he distinctly remembered that on looking at the one made by Leach , he made the addition pointed out .

      Tho Judge—When you did make any additions , were they , to the best of your belief , in strict conformity with they truth ? Witness—They were , my Lord . Mr . O'Connor—I find , on further looking at this book , that from the commenoenvnt of the period at which the witness as Special High Constable of Hyde , began to make his reports to the Magistrates , to the end of the transactions , of which he has been speaking , not a single interlinatiou occurred ; but since then , they were numerous . The Judge—But that is merely an observation , i Mr . O'Connor—It would go far , my Lord . to prove that the entries in the book have been lakeu from notes , whieh are not before the Court .

      The Attorney General hero asked his Lordship whether he iutendod to take any | furtber witnesses to-day ? 'His Lordship replied that he would sit till seven o ' clock . ^ conversation ensued between the Attorney-General and Mr . O'Connor , the result of whioh was that Sir Frederick stated to Mr Baron Rolfe , that he had been requested on the part of the defendants to ask that the Court might then adjourn . His Lordship hesitated , but on being informed that the application waa merely with reference to suiting the convenience of the first day , he consented to the adjournment , intimating that he should sit late the following day . The Court rose precisely at six o ' clock .

After some other remarks Mr . Kirk proposed a resolution to the effect : — !

      " That it was the opinion of the meeting that the circular issued by Mr .

      SHEFFIELD . MEETING OF THE TRADES' DELEGATES . Mr . G . J . Harness letter , published in the Northern Star of the 11 th ultimo , calling the attention of the trades and rate payers to a circular issued by tho Poor Law Guardians , and signed Geo . Crossland , has not been without beneficial results . The letter alluded to having been read at a trades ' meeting , it was forthwith resolved to hold a public meeting of the trades delegates ; and the following handbill , announcing tha meeting , was extensively circulated through the town . " IMPORTANT CRISIS TO THE TOWN AND TRADE OF

      SHEFFIELD . " Fellow-Townsmen , —Tho Poor Law Guardians of this distriot have issued their infamous mandate to starve and pauperise tbe remaining portion of the industrious classes of : Sheffield . We urgently call upon all persons who have one epark of feeling left in their bosoms to read the following circular , copies of which have been widely spread amongst our manufacturers in this town and neighbourhood . " ( Here follow * the circular issued by the Guardians . ) " The above speaks loudly for itself . Never waa a documeut better calculated to reduce the working classes of this town to the lowest ebb of misery and pauperism if carried into effect .

      ' ' Fellow-Townsmen , we beg of you to pay attention to the wording of the circular , supposing that you are so abject and slavish as to suffer it to be carried into effeot . It is in the language of a ratepayer who has declared his thoughts with no small share of ability . His language is as follows : —• The meanins ; of the present d ocument is this ; where a manufacturer is employing one man at tho present time , to whom he is paying 20 s . per week , he is recommended to divide that man ' s work with another , so as to give both half work and half wages ; those getting 10 s . to be reduced to 5 * . ; those getting 8 ' . to be reduced to 4 s . ; thus bringing the employed operatives to work for a less remuneration than parish pay . " The forgoing language ib so very strong and forcible , that any comment upon it would be superfluous . The miserable pretext that is set up for all this is the saviiig of tho parish funds , or in other words , the pockets of the ratepayers .

      '" A meeting will take place at the house of Mr . Thomas Mosely , the London Apprentice , Westbar , on Wednesday evening , the 22 nd instant , at seven o ' clook ptecisely , when it is hoped that all the trades will send delegates to attend ; and it is further desired that all who are opposed to the parish circular , will likewise attend the game .

      " By order of the Committee of the " Associated Trades . "Sheffield , Feb . 17 th , 1843 . " On the motion of Mr . Joseph Kirk , seconded by Mr . T . Rowan , Mr . Thomas Stones was unanimously called to the chair . The Chairman opened t ^ e business of the meeting by a reading a letter from Mr . John Jones , a Sheffield r anufaoturer , who , after having drawn a painful picture of the prevailing distress amongst the Sheffield artizans , directed their attention to the fact , that the amount of goods exported iu that glorious year of prosperity , 1835 , from Sheffield to all

      parts of the world were £ 2 , 096 , 970 , whilst in that awful year of distress 1840 , when every person was crying out that there was no demand , the exports from Sheffield were £ 3 , 177 , 658 , being an increase of about one million over the year 1835 ; and that if the same money had beeu paid in 1840 as in 1835 , the town would have been twice as prosperous at the present time . He alleged that the badness of the Sheffield trade was caused by the competition of the manufacturers , and concluded by advising the delegates to draw up a memorial to the Master Cutler , soliciting him to call a meeting of the mauufacturers tb devise the best means of saving the town from total ruin .

      A letter was also read from Mr . G . J . Harney , assigning as a reason for his absence his having to attend a meeting of the Chartist body that evening . Mr . John Drury , after a speech denunciatory of the Guardians , moved the following resolution : — " Tnat it is the opinion of this meeting that the parish circular is an insult to the town , as well as a disgrace to humanity , and that it is fraught with the most serious injury to the respectable manufacturer , by encouraging the system of competitive cheapness and spurious production , which has already done

      much to ruin and beggar the town ; and that it is equally injurious to the shopkeepers since it reduces the artizans , who are their main support , to so low a condition as to be only capable of purchasing the first necessaries of life ; and that it involves all classes of j-atepayersj and particularly those that have property in houses , shops , &c , if carried into effect , it must render the same nearly valueless ; and that this meeting recommend the rate-payers to call a public meeting , to devise means whereby a oheck may be put to its insane and baneful tendency . "

      Mr . Ward seconded the resolution . Mr . Horsfall said , a deal of truth had been spoken , but not all the truth . It was machinery against manual labour that was grinding the artizan to dust , and assisting in the manufacture of t&Ob'e things which those who lived by manual labour coula not afford to do at the same price . He though t that the best thing the poor man could do , would > b 8 to take the machinery into their own bands , ftnd make it work for them instead of against them , and not for any poor law gnardians or av'istocracy , or despots in the kingdom . Tbe speaker * went on to advocate the plan of getting as mui , ground as possible for tbe poor man to cultivate , as hundreds ot acres were still out of cultivation , and would be beneficial to the trades ' unions to have to cultivate on payment of so much per week . Mr . x *• conoluded by supporting the resolution . '¦ ¦ _ ¦

      i After several speak ers had addressed the meeting , , Mr . Kirk said he ha \ * beard a great deal about the goodness of some of tke guardiaus , but he thought that many of them were utterly destitute of feeling , for they were net content with annoying those who were in a worse condition tF ) . an themselves , but wanted to bring a great portion of thvir fellow creatures into the same miserable state . Th . e circular would { . hoe
