Now, I am one of those who believe that we ought to treat this government as if it intended to do that now in office which Its different numbers have • Wonted times said they would do when they were in op pAaeon ; and I think any proposal that was founded ea the idea that they intended to do nothing, is precisely that which in likely to end in their doing something.

The ' council of the aseesiatien had Maned a cir cular, ht which were set forth the sabiects which it would be the duty of the con form* to 'wader. They were : 1. What means can be adopted tor securing to the almost possible extegt the con stinalbeiel eights of the people. 2.

These were the . e ens whisk moo recenamended to the particular coa oedmtamaMtlresna elf the otaference. In *ponies; the business of the emellennee, the entire management of whose proceed ings sena be in the hands of the delegates, he begged in the sense et the council to thank them for their attendance bore to-day, and fee the valuable assistance rendered by essay to the ease* of reform in their several localities. He weakish.. seggem that the various speakers would condense their spesehes sad elle propositions to the most practical sad bnimeake shape.

He need not inform that the whig administration had ceased to exist, and thet Lied John Russell's reform was therefore no hew a NOVornment measure. Thome events had relieved the see es keen the necessity of spending much time in deiffineabertree the merits of the whig scheme of reform. CS r hr) The great object of this conference would be, to lien measures by which a future admioistration, 'Water might be its name, would be compelled to grant to the of the United Kingdom • full and equal re lit the House of Commons. (Cheers.) He ahead dimies the Reform Bill, or rather the late Reheat MS, with a very few words. After lisesaing to the statement of the late Prime Idielarew, le felt it to be his duty to declare in the Home of that the meenere, the outlines of which had been 116101110 d ly the mac lard, was totally unworthy of the Hew of Oaameem.estally unworthy of being called a Reform 11111—esd letallyneworthy of the political ante admits of Lea dohs Rumen. To this opinion he adhered. (Obese') With these observations, he came at ones the the gba of reform advocated by the National Rehm Aiseea.

That clause was a definition of the qualillealies ter the franchise. Now it had been most erresmemly , that by •• the claiming to be rated to the relief of pour," meant the actual payment of rates, se a Nadine. se voting. Such was not the ease ; the exact contrary was the fact. (Cheers.) Al that the association meant was, that the ezistingparochial machinery should be retained, as the best adapted for the purpose of local registration, under local supervision and self-government ; but the right to be upon the register, and to vote, should be wholly i nd ependeut and irrespective of the payment of rate. (Cheers.) This simple statement would, he hoped, set the question at rest, and give assurance to the friends of reform everywhere, that the association would most strenuously oppose all attempt. to insert • ratepaying clause in any fatter* Reform Bill ;—(cheers)—believing that such a clause would be the fruitful source of oppression, chicanery, *ad fraud—and little better then a pe na l enac temeat, visit ing upon honest men the penalty of disfranchisement for the non-prepayment of a due, which the parochial authorities have ample power to enforce. (Cheers ) Let it not be forgotten that the restoration of the duties on corn was only one amongst many evil measures which • tory government assume office to carry through parlia ment. Let it not be forgotten that the principles, and, consequently, the policy of such a government would be throughout illiberal • and that though it might no t b e a bl e to sixty its principle in all cues into actual enactment, it would Mama sad prevent measures of a liberal character ham being anis& (Cheers.)

(Hear, hear.) It would not do to drive the coach hater than the horses would carry it, but endeavour to pave the way to ulterior re forms by accepting the present compromise, for it was nothing more. In accepting it, he did not abate one jot of his opinions, but he said, " Bide your time." They had now an administration that declared against all reform, and was that • time for ft formers to refuse everything ? (Hoar, hear) Every step they took was one in the direction of the Charter, and there was no reason why they should not go a harmoniously. The business fur which they had been summoned was to inquire whether Lord John Russell's plan was sufficient, or whether in nineteen years they had arrived at estate which rendered further progress eligible, but they were saved that trouble now, and all they had to do was to rally all aections of reformers in favour of a more comprehensive measure in the face of • ministry that had declared against all reform. (Cheers) Having told the meeting that 16 minutes would be allowed to each weaker, the hon. member concluded by calling on Dr. Burnett to address the meeting. The Rev. J.

He dined that the association represented the feelings of any portion of the chartist body, and asserted that they had nut been invited to Leeds or Manchester. He challenged the asso ciation to a discussion of their respective principles. (Much confusion here erase. The sense of the meeting being against Mr. Jones, while a small body of chartists sup ported him strenuously.) He understood the council to say they were all chartists. Er. CLARKE, as a Manchester chartist, denied the 'amnion of Mr. E. Jones as to the association having gone to Manchester uninvited. They had been expressly invited by the chartist council, and the proposal had only been re sented by a very small minority.

The resolution was seconded, but mot with so many ob jections— Mr. Hume and the more influential members of the association present all concurring in expreniag their since,. belief that the disturbances of the morning would not again be repeated, and that the resolution was there- fore unneeseeary—that it was accordingly withdrawn. The Conference adjourned at half-prat 5 (until 10 this morning), after pealing a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was duly but briefly acknowledged by Mr. Hume. TUMULT AT THE GREAT WESTERN COTTON WORKS, BRISTOL. The city of Bristol presented on Saturday and Monday a scene of very unusual excitement and bustle, in consequence of mese hundreds of the hands employed at the Great Western Cotton Works having, through a dispute between them and the manager, struck from their work, and congregated in large bodies at different parts of the city. On Monday the magistrates were engaged is investi gating charges arising out of the dispute, and during the period of their sitting, which occupied till a late hour of the day, the streets adjacent to the council house were densely crowded with hands from the factory and others taking ma Interest in the preasediag. Mr. John Ashworth, tbe emeser M as erattle a _hed bus cawed by a young yam= named MOM Williams, MO well OS by several other girls and married women for having moulted them on Thursday evader/ hat. Mr. Arra appeared for the complainants, see Mr. 0. L. king conducted the defence. It appeared teem the OISOMOOIIt of Mr. Ayre and the evidence eAdscal by KIN that br some time past there had been dispels.* going on batmen the girls and women engaged in the factory, in coneespasher, Brat, of the wages of the latter having been to a large meat absorbed by a series of, a. they considered, improper lees and deductions; secondly, of the working time of the mill having been im properly kept ; and thirdly, of a narrow wicket, only 14 or 16 inches wide, having been set up for them to pass through on leaving the factory, whereby they were much incon venienced in leaving the place, and were detained upon the premises for a very much longer period than was neces sary. On Thursday evening they refused to leave the premises unless the gate was opened, as was formerly the case, and the manager then came into the yard with • suck sad some dogs. He, according to the case for the prosecution, hissed on the dogs, struck the girl Williams down, and kicked her, wounding her hand with a stick, and then ordered the mechanics to bring up the fire-engine, with which he played water on the women and girls fur more than an hour, throwing them into a state of the greatest terror and confusion, and drenching them (many having miles to gu home) to the akin. Upon eras.- examination, it was admitted that all tho hands by agree ment stopped their looms before the engine was stopped, but this we. not done until they found the engine still going at ten minutes after the time fixed by law and by the agreements at the factory for closing. On the part of the manager, it was urged that he was not only justified is what he did, but deserved applause for it, in asmuch as he had taken • very lenient mode of quelling a riot which threatened to end in a serious de ktruetion of his employers' property. It was denied that he struck or kicked the girl, or hissed on the dogs, or that he poured water from the engine to the extent described. Evidence was adduoed to show that by suddenly stopping their looms before the stopping of the engine, the girls in jured the machinery, and that afterwards large numbers of stones were thrown from • crowd outside of the works and (rain the hands within, whereby windows were broken, other parts of the factory injured, the manager himself struck, and some men severely injured, several of the stones thrown weighing many pouuds. The witnesses were cross examined, and on many points disagreed, especially as to the time at which the stones were first thrown from the inside. The balance of testi mony was, that it was after the engine had been played upon the hands, but it was clear that missiles had been east from the outside previously. The testimony was also discrepant es to the time at which the engine stopped. One flied it at ten minutes, and another at about five minutes past six. The timo keeper stated six o'clock, but then it appeared that he had entered six o'clock be cause it ought to stop at six o'clock, and that he had made a similar entry for every day of the week, although it was admitted by one of the hands that on Tuesday the engine had, owing to • stoppage in the day, worked till nearer seven o'clock. The magistrates after carefully reviewing all the facts of the case, considered that an unjustifiable assault had been committed by the manager, whom they convicted in the penalty of 5!. Intelligence of the decision was sneedily conveyed to the crowds without, who received it with the loudest demonstrations of joy. THE ENGINEERS' STAHEL—Yesterday another cir cular was issued by the employers' committee. It states that nearly every member of the committee had received from artisans assurances of their readiness to sign the decla ration, bat that they had been overawed by threats teem members of the Amalgamated Society, and that Buchan act would be as much as their lives were worth. The coin , mitts. is collecting evidence on this subject, with a view to protect the workmen from tyranny. Workmen were coating up from Scotland to sign the declaration and thus earn higher wages than they now receive. In London, 1,198 men signed on the day of opening, and new hands come in every day ; in Manchester 2,776 have signed. The committee Is maturing the plan of a safe and genuine bandit society, GREAT FIRE IN WIIITECIIAPPL.—Last night, about 8 o'clock, a Are of • most destructive character broke oat in the premises of Mears.

PabLEION.—PROVIDENTIAL FeraPE.—A few swish" Moos the carriage of 11. Home, Esq., of West Fraleigh, waa returning from Maidstone with three ladies, when near Barham Court Lodge, the pin of one of the shafts broke, letting the shafts fall against the horee's lege, which started offat full speed. The coachman shouted to the turnpike gate-keeper to close the gate, which he 8M but had not ties to bolt it. The horse attempted te leap the pea, 'Masa its fore legs over, and driving it open wilt groat widows and splintering it. The horse this want at 10.11*; dews the hill, turning the angle of the read hiding to Ireaffarleigh, at the same time the sesehmaa fast his mat sad was thruwn to the ground with greet Meioses. The carriage was dragged along with fear ful speed towards the gams which cress the road at the rail way. The gatekeeper endeavoured to stop the horse, but finding it useless, stepped as one aide; the horse made a clean leap at the gate rotting its fore legs over. Th e pie eve theteesa with a chain attached toe strong staple, but the esempamion was so great that the staple was drawn oat, and tits forced open with such violence, that, striking the r, who was standing near, he was thrown to a distance. The hone then attempted to leap the mend gate—forced the staple, and dashed onwards to wards the bridge, the ladies expecting every moment to be thrown into the river; but just as the chaise came upon the bridge, one of the hind weeels came in contact with the spar stone, which it forced completely out of its place, and upset the carriage. Some men who were near hastened to the spot and audited the ladies out, who, with the exception of severe bruises, were, wonderful to state, not otherwise Injured. The coachman also was only bruised, and the horse was not at all injured.—KenftsA Mercury. THE EXCISE REVENUE,—Some interesting inform ation is afforded in • return respecting the Excise, jest printed by order of :he House of Commons.

A FLEET OF MNIWIIANTIIEN WINDBOVNIL—The onerasey Nine of Saturday last states that the harbour of St. Sampson in that island was full of shipping, owing to the prevailing northerly and easterly winds, which prevented the ships from leaving. Seventy venels bound for England were there last Thursday. The harbour was so full that no mere ships could enter it. THE ELECTIONS.

Mr. Cooke declining any collision which might have the Whet of dividing the liberal party, withdrew. At the last moment, however, Mr. Itebow made it a further con dition that Mr. Hardcastle, the present liberal metriber for the borough, should vacate his position in Mr. Itebow's fa vour at the next election. This not being conceded, Mr. nohow has refused to stand, and the Colchester reformer, are in duffer of falling between two stools. At the solici tation of has friends Mr. Cooke has gone down to Colcheorr, and what the consequences of this step may be events will show. This, however, is quite certain, that liberal coital measles to succeed must be true to candidates who have been true to them."

Mr. Derail having taken the chair, the worthy alderman proceeded to address the meeting at some length. Having adverted to Lord Derby's government and the opposition he 611%1111 be prepared to offer it, in the event of a protection line of policy being pursued, the hon. gentb - man alluded to the efforts he hail made to obtain hi. admit tance into the House of Commonsas one of the representa tives of Greenwich, end what the late government had in troduced in the new Reform Bill, with the view of meeting his ease. The worthy aldermen solicited his re-election, whereby they would be upholding the great principles of civil and religious liberty. The hon. gentleman was greatly applauded throughout the whole of his address. A resolu. thin was then adopted, approving of Mr. Aldermazt So lemons' line of conduct since he had been returned as one of the members of the borough, and promising hit every support when he again appeared to solicit the sui frages of the electors. KlLDette.—liord Nava has addressed the electors of Kildare in the following terms :—"During the four years and.a• half that I have had the honour of representinv you in parliament I have voted on all measures of general im portance, and I have taken part in almost every debate that has reference to Ireland. My political principles then fora should be well known to you all. 1 am ready opeely to account to you for each vote that I have given, and to justify every one of my public acts. I, therefore, now ask you for a renewal of your confidence. As an Irishman appointed to fill a high office in the government of his country, I feel confident that I shall receive from the consti tuency of my native county a fair trial, promising that I shall endeavour in my new capacity to devote all my in fluence to ameliorate the present distressed state of agricul ture, to promote commercial progress, and to further the social improvement of the people of Ireland. I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your faithful servant.—Nees." His opponent, Mr. Cogan, of course gees the Abele animal in the way of liberglity, although an effort has been made to damage his cause by stating that he is a "mere whig." lie ways that if elected he will " enter parliament totally un connected with any English political party, and determined to advance the interests of Ireland b every means in his power, and to assist in the redress o ther many evils, reli gious, social, and political." LEEDS.—OII Monday evening a most united and spirited meeting of the liberal electors of Leeds was held in the Music-hall, for the purpose of deciding upon two liberal candidates fur the representation of the borough at the neat election. The large saloon was crammed to muff cation, and the most determined resolution was expressed not to allow any minor difference of,opinion to divide the liberal party at this juncture. The basis on which this union has been settted is free trade mid parliamentary reform, the educa tion, and all other questions, being far the present held en tirely in abeyance. The register of electors is understood to contain a very decided majority of liberals, and, with a continueuce of the union and elstermination displayed at this meeting, it is believed that no tory candidate will have the slightest chance of euccest. John Wilkinson, Esq., one of the borough justice*, presided. Appropriate introductory resolutions having been unani mously carried, J. G. Marshall, Esq., F. Carbutt, Esq., and Sir George Goodman, were proposed and seconded by their several supporters as fit and proper persons to represent the constituency in parliament. On a show of hands being Wren, the whole appeared to be held up for Mr. Marshall, about one-third for Mr. Curbutt, and nearly all for Sir George Gootlman. The chairman said he had no difficulty in deciding this question. He had no doubt that the elec tion at this meeting had fallen upon J. G. Marshall, Esq., and Sir George Goodman. On the motion of Alderman Richardson, • very numerous and influential election com mittee was appointed, and the meeting then terminated. MALDON.—It has been stated (says the Essex Herald) that an arrangement his been come to for the set tlement of the lung-disputed election claims on Messrs. Dick and Waddington, and the past feeling these matters excited having been smoothed down ' both these gentlemen will again offer themselves for the borough. But in the mean time a third conservative has stepped forward in the person of the lion. F. Byron, of Langford grove, who has caused some excitement in the borough by issuing an ad dress, in which he declares his intention to " support encouragement of, and protection to, our native industry ;" particularly to the shipping interest and the coasting trade —to advocate a better and wiser economy in the manage ment of the army and navy, with a due regard to the safety of the empire ;Iland he adds, he shall ever be found faithful to the religion by law established. PETERBOROI:6II.—The anticipated dissolution of parliament has called forth two addresses, one from Mr. Cavendish, the present member, signing his intention of resigning, and another from Mr. R. Watson,W of Rocking ham Castle, who with the Hon. G. W. F itawilliam, will be brought forward under the auspices of Lord Fitswilliam. Mr. Watson states that he presents himself as • candidate not without parliamentary experience, having represented • large constituency during that eventful period in which the Reform Biil was passed. To that measure he gave his scalene support, and that ho did so has ever sine, been to him a source of unmingled satisfaction. He says further, that from youth lie has entertained• warm attachment to liberal principles, and that feeling has been strengthened by time and confirmed by experience." Notwithstanding these avowals on the part of Mr. Watson, the financial reformers are bent upon nominating one who will more fully advocate their principles; and for this purpose Mr. Whitwell, a gentleman of some standing in the town, has signified his intention of offraing himself. From the feel ing shown in his favoqe, which has been increased by Lord Fitawilliam's advocacy of what he terms • "mild sail benevolent despotism," in opposition to any further mea sure of reform, it is believed that he will be • formidable opponent to the Fitawilliam interest. • SOUTIIAMPTON.—An occasional correspondent at Southampton, writing about the election in that town, states that Mr. Willcox and Sir A. Cockburn will concoct, and that one committee will be formed to secure the return of both. Negotiations are in progress for bringing forward John Shepherd, Esi., the chairman of the East India Com way, and Mr. Wigrarn, the eminent ship-builder, at Southampton, on the conservative interest. STAMFORD.—A correspondent states that no oppo sition will be offered to the return of the Right Hon. J. C. Merritt, the newly appointed President of the Board of Control, as the metnhar fur Stamford. The Marquis. Exeter's influence in the borough is too strong to afford any liberal candidate any chance of sueema. SOUTII DEVON.—There is some talk of bringing forward a liberal candidate to oppose Sir J. B. Y. Buller in the southern division of the county. The liberal party have not yet, however, Seed upon " their man." TOTNER.—It is said that there will be no change here. Lord Seymour (is liberal) and Mr. Barry Baldwin (a connervativw) are likely to be re-elected. THE I'EMBROkE BOROUGIII4.—Sir John Owen, Bart., lord lieutenant of the county, who has hem con nected with these boroughs since the year 15119, has baited an address to the electors, offering himself again as a can didate. Sir John voted for free trade in corn, and on that principle there is little doubt he will be ri.turma by a powerful majority. In fact, the prutectiontstrers n.• one to attempt an opposition. • - s TILE DUTY ON RAILWAY* AND STAGE Cd2t- Rl.lolC..—Last year the income to the ElCit.o arising from railway■ and st age cartinges was *sty g rea t.
