Well, with the additive of • clause which shall give to these who are not themeelves householder, bat who may become householders, the right to claim to be rated, I thiak the rate-book of this country may he taken now for es good a register a+ it could have been in the time of our Salon ancestors. Whoa you have a registration franchise proposed, ns one would suppose you could continue to give to Manchester and Harwich the same number of gepeeentatives. It does not require an argument — the figures your chairman has given you are suf ficient to settle the point, and there is no argument that can be established to enhance the force of those figures. I don't peptise—Mr. Hume sever pawed—that you should cat the country into parallelograms, or any new 11.11611441111, but as we always stated in the House of Com mons, we have always said we will take the ancient land marks as much a• we can, keep to the ancient county divi sions, and group the small boroughs into constituencies as large as your own, end we shall get a true distribution of the franchise, which alone can give • fair representation to the whole country. Then we come to triennial parliaments. Many petiole say they ought to be annual, in America they my duennial, and we hail mcne persons in the conference to day who desired quinquennial parliaments, but I think we bare • precedent for three year parliaments in the old custoni of the country, and as there teen amount of opinion settled on that question, I think there can be very little difference about it between reformers who are in earnest, in agreeing to go at laud to the extent of tri ennial parliament,. (Cheers.) I come now to a question to which, I confer, I attach great importance-1 mean the ballot. (Cheers.) (dye us the franchise, extension of the suffrage, with the other points I have alluded to; but they will %eel be comparatively worthless unless vou hare the ballet. The ballot in other countries has b een adopted as necessary to the protection of the voter. Yuu have never had, I believe, a large re presentative system anywhere without the adoption of the ballot; and it is particularly necessary that you should have the ballot in this country, because in 310 counthy is the world where a constitutional government mute is there 1111 great an inequality of fortune as in this country, and so great en amount of influence brought to bear upon the poorer claws of voters. And 1 don't con fine my advocacy of the plan merely to protecting farmers and agrieulturil labourers; I desire it also to protect the voter in the manufacturing districts, for you may depend upon it you have quite as glaring an evil seeking from wealth sad influence in Lancashire and Yorkshire, as in the agricultural districts. Go into any- borough like Stock port or Belem, or any electoral borough, and tell me the polities of env large employer of labourers, and I will give you the politic, of the labourers employed by those capitalists, by knowing the polities of the capitalists theme-elves. Nine-tenths of the men wail vote accunling to their master's principles. le there any mesmerism or mysterious uffinity which make% men think the is .111, as thew who pay them their wages ? But it has an influence, seen or unseen, occult or visible I don't care which, but it haa an influence on the mind of t hei labouring chi., and they have a right to a vote without any ouch restriction or coercion as this. I want the ballot, fur the protection of everybody in their vote, from the influ ence of everybody thee. (Cheers.) I want it as • protec tion against landlords, mellowners, priests, or euetemers. (Cheers.) And I, for one, would look upon any reform bill—l don't hesitate to declare it—l look upon any reform bill as delusive that does nut comprise the ballot, and I don't call myself, and weer will own myself as • member of any political party, the heads of which set themselves resolutely an opposition to the ballot. (Cheers.) Now, other ques tions admit of modification, other points also admit of being eurinounted by the electoral bodies themselves and their representatives, without going to parliament at all— for instance, though the parliament will not give • vote to • can, there is • way by which Wine men may get a vote, without going to peerliement to pray for it; and though 1 you don't get triennial parliaments, there is away by which censtitueuees rem arrange with their representative., as is often done, and make • bargain with them that they shall come every year and make an amount of themselves, and receive your judgment. (Hear, hear.) In the question of re-distribution of the franchise, we all know that is a question, alter all, no league, that a greater or a less degree of adjustment may be applied es meeting your demand; and I don't see how you can lay hold of any defined principle be which you elan secure • fair and equal re-adjustment of the representa tion. Bat when I come to the ballot it is something, —aye or nu—you have the whole thing or nothing, and you cau sed get it without au act of parliament; and I say I take sny itemd on the ballot as • test of the sincerity of those who prorate to lead what is called the liberal party in this country. (Hear, hear.) New 1 once for all beg to state that aceoreling to my opinions, settled now for three or ' four years, ever since the passing of the repeal Mike corn laws, the old parties are altogether broken up. I have sever enesidered that we have a political party in this costatry. We luxe had • whig party, a liberal party, • few trade party to fight and maintain the free trade victory, and that party is as much flit Robert Peel's patty as the whig party • but I have shrew thought the neceesitiee of Janie., and t he difficulties of carrying on bummers in the Howe of Common*, have led to the need of a fresh oreaniative. I have always thought the time must corny, and come epeedily, when everybody, admitting that free trails is a matter of history, and no longer to be made a bugbear fur niatutaining this or that party in the ascendent, die time must come when there must be are-organisation of parties, end that there would be no doubt a bid made to the eteuutry . hyreick therecaaW be a reeconstraetiora of what is called the part Now I wish. coif for all, to state that hot recognimng the bonds of party in an way since the huie of the emu law repeal, I have bottomed as much to lit J.

(Cheers.) Now, since I have been Wmhipster we have heard' sews from France which probably some of our opponents will think ought to be tumid late in argument against Os, for oddest further political choose. Why, we have heard that owe branch of the goverment of Franca at Paris has shut mese shop of the other branch—(laughter)—and the latest Recounts say that the President and his soldiers together have carried off some hundreds of the representatives of the people, and locked them up. Well, will it be pretended that this is an argument against our advancing in the course we now propose to advance ? (~ N0,n0.") I tell you what I find it an argument for: I find it on argument for doing away with some of those soldiers who are doing the work so readily. (Loud cheers, and laughter.) Is it not a nice illustration of the beautiful system of governing by 3:4,000 or 400,000 bayonets ? The Assembly meets and votes the army estimates without any discussion at all ; it would be quite heretical to oppose the vote fee the maintenance of their army—(laughter)—and as soon as the soldiers have got their pay, the President sends for them and says, " I intend to-morrow to shot up that Assembly ; you will assist me ; I shall declare l'aris in a state of siege, and you shall enable me to do it." ((heat laughter.) I hope one of the lessons that will be learnt by this will be, that constitutional government at all events is not likely to be served by resting itself on the support of the bayeset. What do I find illustrated in this state of things in Emma ? This: that the French people have not learnt what English, men have done to make timely repairs in their comitutica; not to pull them down, not to root them up, but to repair them. Why, the French, instead of building sass aid foundations, they expect a house to stand without sass tions at all—( 4 hear, hear," and laughter)—sad upset • tree to grow without roots in the ground. (11urnmill laughter.) The English people have been in the halt sif repairing and improving their institutions, widenMedist basis of their constitution, as we are going to do saw--- (cheers)—and it is by widening its basis that we intend to ruder our structure were perisaaatt.

I reatembr at the thee of the pada( of the Reform Bill I was then living is Leaut—it was before the Reform Bill was passed: you all remember that the Duke of Wellington was fur a few days called to power, and there was a mo mentary belief and apprehension in the country that the King, aided by the military, was going to resist the passing of the Reform Bill. You know the awful state of perturbation in which the country was placed, you know how you sent off in a carriage and four the peti tion agreed to in public meeting,—how petitions were car ried along the road, and what a dreadful ante of excite ment it was. I remember in that time, when I was in Lon don, one of the largest calico printers of this neighbourhood called on me. Re employed 700 or 8 , 40 hands, and he had MINT been of any decided political principles. I spoke to him of the crisis in which affairs were placed in the north of England, and be said, " I expect every day the cauldron will boil over, and we shall be in a state of anarchy and confusion." I said, "What do you intend to do ? " Ile laid, " I will go home in the coach this very night, and place myself at the heed of my men, for that is the only security I have, to stand or fall with them, to join with them and be with them."

MASTERS' OFFICES, lissome Sin W. Rossi. Tan Illicaewaste Stile LOAN AND INSVRANCI ASSOCtATION. There was • meeting yesterday to settle the list of con tributories in this company, whose liabilities are estimated at about 100,0001. Mr. Roxburgh appeared for Mr. W. Harding (of the firm of Harding and l'ullein, accountants, of Ouildhall-cham ben), the official manager. Mr. Peane represented the assignees under the bank ruptcy of the company ; and other professional men ap peased for various individual creditors. Mr. Roxburgh stated that the company had been farmed for " the insurance of shim and the a dvancing of money by trey of loan, secured by mortgage on shipping," and was provisionally registered on the 18th of September, 184.5. In the prospectus, the capital was set forth at • million, in 20,000 shares of 50/. each, on which a deposit of ss, per share was to be paid on allotment, and 37a, per share on the execution of the deed of settlement. Numerous applications were received, and shares allotted, ; but the preliminary deposit had been paid in very few I cases. A document intended for the deed of settlement was prepared in 1846, and was executed by 16 persons but it was without either date or stamp. In March, 1846, the company commenced business, and prior to its complete re gistration, policies to the extent of 1,500,0001. had been issued, on which the premiums amounted to 76,0001. An other deed ofsettlement, dated sth of April, 1847, was pre pared and signed, by which the constitution of the company was materially varied. On the 24th April, 1847, it was com pletely registered, when, in accordance with the last-men tioned deed, the amount of the proposed capital was re turned at 500,0001. (instead of 1,000,0004.), in 20,000 shares of 2.51. (instead of 501.) each. This alteration had been made without any authority or consent from the share holders. From the date of complete registration to the Bth of May, 1848, 7,400 policies had been issued, on which the risks were about 3,500,0001., and the premiums 105,000/. In 1847 or 1848, the company fell into difficul ties ; and in May, 1848, it was declared bankrupt. Debts had been proved under the bankruptcy, to the amount of 74.5261., on whic h' a dividend of in the pound had been paid ; but many of these proofs were in respect of losses claimed from the company under policies issued prior to complete registration. In addition to these proofs, other claims would increase the debts to about 100,0001. In December, 18-50, the commissioner in bankruptcy had directed a petition to be presented, for bringing the com pany under the Winding-up Acts; and the requisite order ° was made by the Vice-Chancellor on the 18th January last. With • view to facilitate the settlement of the list of con tributories, the official manager hod divided all the share holders into four classes, as follows ;—Class A, parties who had signed the parchment writing intended for the deed of settlement of the company in respect of shares of 501. each; clam B, mtottecs of shares of 501. each, in respect of which deposits had been paid ; class C, allottees of shares of 504 each, in respect of which no deposits had been paid; and class D, parties who had exe cuted the deed of settlement of the company, dated sth of April, 1817, in respect of shares of 251. each. As the second deed was the one on which the company was founded, and obtained complete registration, it was a question whether the shareholders in tke original company could now be dealt with. Sir W. Horne said it was clear they must stand on the deed of 1847; it was impossible to bind those shareholders who had only applied under the original form of the cum this country that In every time of crisis or difficulty the only safety for them is to be at the head of the great mass of the people. (Cheers.)s Therefore I rejoice in the pro ceedings of this day, which have given us so favourable a prospect of that union; in this day, in which there is not only the prospect of union but of safety. The hon. mem ber resumed his seat amidst great cheering. The resolution was curried unanimously, amidst loud and enthusiastic cheering; after which the wh le meeting at once rase and separated at he minutes to eleven o'clock. Pa Ai T r - . Pearce wished to be heard against this determine ' lion $ but his Honour held that he could only be heard in his character of agent to the petitioners, and not on behaif of creditors ; and, as the petition did not attempt to set up the deed of 1846, it could not now be revived. ' A solicitor, who appeared fur a shareholder in Class C, resident at Glasgow, asked for his costs, on account of the great trouble and anxiety he hail beets put to. Sir W. Horne said the party ought to be well content with his escape from being made a contributory. The solicitor said he had never taken any part in the company. Mr. Roxburgh said he had 20 shares allotted him, but had not paid up. Sir W. Horne—lf the gentleman will pay foe his share, I will take care that there shall be costs allowed. (Laughter.) I dare say there arc a great many sufferers in this case who wuuld like to be let off as easily. Mr. Roxburgh said he now proposed as contributories the gentlemen included in Class 1), and ho did not appre hend that soy objection could be raised on the part of any of them. Mr. Chappell said he appeared on behalf of one of the shareholders comprised in that hat, Mr. J. C. Chappell, who had been a bankrupt. Ile produced his certificate under the bankruptcy. Mr. Roxburgh—That is no discharge. 'Who are the as , signets ? Sir W. Horne—lf the gentleman has been so lucky as to ' get a certificate of the first class, I dare say he will not mind about being put on the list. Mr. Roxburgh said they should still put Mr. Chappell on, and make a note of his having been a bankrupt. Ile might then apply to the Muter to take off his name, and put on those of the assignees if he thought proper. The list would be as follows: Richard William Pesch Carter, gentleman, of the Queen's Bench Prison—(laughter)—a holder of IN shares. John Cramer Chappell, surgeon, of George-street, llan over-square—a holder of 100 shares. Juhn Maclellan, merchant, of Buchanan-street, Glasgow —a holder of 300 shares. James Morris, agent, of Gresham-street, Londou—a holder of 50 shares. Frederick Morris, gentlemen, of Belvidere-road, Lam beth—a holder of 25 shares. Robert John Morris, gentleman, of Bombay—a holder of 25 shares. Capt. Samuel Priee, R.N., of St. John's Wood terrace —a holder of 300 shares. Henry John Chetwynd Earl Talbot—a holder of 1,000, shares. [Sir W. Horne—Lord Talbot! A very benevolent man, but a great enthusiast. Mr. Pearce said that the company had arisen out of a benevolent society of which his lor dsh ip was a member.] Capt. E. Gamaliel Winthrop, R.N., Avenue-road, St. ' , John's Wuod—a holder of 1,000 shares. Robert Wood, gentleman, of Lodgeplace, Bt. John's Wood—a holder of 500 shares.

Edmund Woodruffe, gentleman, of Great Winchester street—a holder of 4300 shares. Sir IV. Horne—l suppose these gentlemen are all upon the eve of emigrating to California ? Mr. Roxburgh—Oh, no; we hope not. These gentlemen are to pay 100,0001. Sir W. Ilorne—God bless me! It is dreadful. Mr. Pearce—lt is a matter of impossibility; they have not the means. Mr. Roxburgh said there was a class of proofs whirls had been admitted under the bankruptcy—those of policy holders whose Mountain bad been effected before the com pany was completely resifting. lie was aware that, under the act of parliament, proofs is bardtrupfts were made proofs under the winding-up acts, awl eimenuestly his Honour bad no jurisdiction to interfere with them.

Sol Arman Doris, 11, Dathy-terrace, City, dealer in jewellery 11131 i watches, was charged with obtaining goods within three months of his bankruptcy, with intent to de ' fraud his creditors. Mr. Van Sendai' appeared as solicitor for the PTOSCCU. aka; and Mr. Hawkins was counsel for the prisoner. It was stated that the prisoner was a bankrupt in 1841 as a furnitpre broker at' Sheffield. on which occasion he did not obtain his certificate, or pay any dividend. Ho then entered into business as • fancy stationer and jeweller at Leeds. He was next a hawking jeweller at Norwich, and in the beginning of the present year he came to London, and largely extended his dealings, and although at the time hopelessly insolvent and an aocertificated bankrupt, he ob tained about B,ooo'. worth of goods, mid became bankrupt on the 18th of October, owing debts to the amount of 7,500(., with about 1001. assets, and a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates for the goods he had obtained, were found in his posaessitio. Su late as the 14th October ho had Attuned goods to • considerable amount, the fiat being dated 24th October. During the present year he had scarcely dons one legitimate piece of business, and nearly all the goods had been pawned or sold to dealers in Petticoat-lane. This prosecution had been directed by the Commissioner of Bankrupts. Evidence was given from the proceedings in bankruptcy, that the fiat was dated 24th October. Henry Holland, manufacturer of silver goods and ha porter of Geneva watches, Smith-street, Clerkeurell, one of the petitioning creditors and assignees, to whom the prisoner owed between 1,2001. and 1,3001., stated that he had supplied him with goods within three months of his bankruptcy, he being generally very urgent, and stating that he wanted them for particular orders. The prisoner had dealt with him for two or three years, but of late he had greatly extended his dealings, stating that he was a COG verted Jew, and that he had a large private business, men tioning the names of several influential gentlemen and showing letters of introduction to others with whom he had had transactions. The prisoner hail obtained about 4801. worth of goods within three months of his bankruptcy. In cross-examination the witness stated that the prisoner had paid him about 9001. or 1,000/. He had never sent the prisoner goods on approval. The prisoner had paid 51. in October, but no doubt some bills of his had been paid in that month. Julius Stauffer, watch manufacturer, 12, Old Jewry chambers, had done business with the prisoner about two years, and had supplied him with four gold watches worth 241. on Ist August. lie had frequently since applied ur wently for a further supply, but had been refused ; thelast application was on the 14th or 15th October. He was a creditor for 2871. He had received 533/. from the yriam.'er in the course of their dealings ; and he paid him a 501. bill on the 15th of October as an inducement to the witoess to supply him with more goods, but as he held another bill of his, due on the 19th of October, he waited to see if that was paid, but it was dishonoured. Richard Willis, 15, Clerkeuwell-green, jeweller, a cre ditor of the prisoner's for 1,5001., had supplied goods to him within three mouths of his bankruptcy to the amount of 1,0001., the last being sent to him on the 14th of October. He applied for them in the usual course of his business, and accounted for the increase in his purchases by saying that ' he had obtained many customers by persons coming to the Exhibition. The witness had never asked him so accom modate him with his acceptance, although lie held accept ances of his for about 1,0001., the remaining 5001. being book debts. He had received about 1,3001. from the pri- soner in the course of their dealings. Thos. Porthouse, 10, Northampton•square, watchmaker, was a creditor of the prisoner for 9601., of which about 6301. had been obtained within three months of his honk- matey. The dealings between them amouuted to about I,oooi. and the prisoner had paid him 3.501. Mr. Van Sandau asked for the committal of the pri soner, and in order to complete the case under the sta tute, contended that the examinations of the prisoner its b ankruptcy were in evidence, and they would show that he had obtained goods, and shortly after sold them, and pledged them for less than their value, within three months ut his bankruptcy. It was, however, arranged that the prisoner should be remanded, in order to bring forward the persons to whom the goods bad been sold or pledged. He was, accordingly, remanded. _ . . . It was stated that two bail in 2.501. would he accepted, and the prisoner would also be bound over in 5001. for his appearance. MAILLBOROUGII-STIMET. Edward Clark:e7asetrly -looking man, was brought up for final examination, charged with nearly killing his wile by striking her on the bead h a hammer. Maria Clarke, the prisoner's wife, a woman of very re spectable appearance, said she lived at No. 30, Stephen street, Itathbone-place. On Friday night, the 21st Novem ber, she went with her brother to the theatre;; when she returned home her husband accused her of drinking, which was not true. Ile then struck her with his fist on the chest and knocked her down. She took up a wash-hand boson to defend herself, but fell down before she could throw it at her husband. She was then struck with the heel of a hoot her husband had in his hand, and she fainted. On the next night her husband did not come home until twelve at night, by which time she was in bed. Her husband sat himself down and refused to go to bed. She got out of bed, and said to him, "Edward, do not be ridiculous; why not make matters com fortable." She received a blow with his fist, and afterwards a blow on the head with a hammer, which had been plated by the fireside during the day. She tried to get the ham mer from him, upon which he again struck her on the head, behind the ear, with it, and she fell insensible. She could not be sure that her husband kicked her when she was down, but she was very sore about the lower part of her person, as if front violence. She was taken to the University Hospital to have her injuries attended to. Elizabeth West said she lived in the same room with the prisoner and his wife. The witness deposed to the brutal treatment of the wife by her husband, that the wife was kicked and beaten on Friday night until she became in sensible, and that on the next night the prisoner renewed his violence, repeatedly knocking her down, and otherwise illtreating her. Witneu ran out of the room in a fright; when she returned she found the wife lying senseless on the floor. She picked her up, and placed her head on her lap. The prisoner rushed at his unhappy wife, and kicked her ferocioaoly on the;lower part of her person. Witness did not see the hammer used. . _ _ Henry liockley said he went into the room on Saturday night, and found the woman lying senseless on the Boor, weltering in her blood, and the prisoner with a hammer in his hand. The prisoner denied striking his wife with the hammer, or kicking her, as described. The prisoner was fully committed. IFrom the statement of the wile the above forms but • small portion of the injuries and ill-usage she has from time to time sustained. . . . . Ilechard Anthony hawk, collector, in the service of Mr. B. Nicholl, shirtmaker, Regent-circus and Lombard-street, was charged with erdlmszlement, and committed fur tri►l.

The French news has created an immense sensa tion in Dublin. Nothing else is spoken of in places of public resort, and for the moment all our local politics have sunk into the background. A meeting, convened by the high sheriff of the county, was held at Cavan yesterday for the purpose of devising the most desirable mode of connecting Cavan with Dublin by railway. Sir John Young, one of the members for the county, presided. A deputation from the Drogheda Railway, represented by the chairman, Mr. Murland, and Mr. Hatton, attended on behalf of that company. The interests of the Midland Great Western Company were repre sented by Sir Percy Nugent, Hart., Janice Perry, Esq., James Stirling, Esq., directors, accompanied by their engineer, G. W. Remain, Esq. There was also a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce,Belfast, consisting of William Coates, James Kennedy, and John Ilerdrnan, Esqrs. Mr. Doling, one of the di rectors of the Ulster Railway, was also in attendance. Mr. Murland addressed the meeting on the merits of the Drogheda Company by Navan and Virginia to Cavan, and was replied to by Mr. Perry, on the part of tho Midland Railway, advocating the route by Mullingar. Messrs. Coates, Kennedy. and Herd man, then addressed the meeting, showing the im portant advantages to be derived by the whole country by opening a communication from Belfast to Galway, rio Armagh, Monaghan, Cavan, Nlullingar, Athlone, and Ballinaeloe. fhe question was then put that the meeting should adopt the line by Mul lingar, and request the representatives of the county to give their most strenuous support in parliament to the Midland Railway Bill. An amendment was proposed in favour of the Drogheda Company, which fell to the ground for want of a seconder, and the original resolution was passed with acclamation. This was the mos t impo rtant meeting that has been held in Cavan as the interests of that and the adjoining counties. Thu City of Limerick steamer arrived heroester day from Liverpool, with her bowsprit carried away, and otherwise injured, from her having come in col lision in the Merrey with a vessel, name unknown. The master of the City of Limerick made the other an offer of any assistance in his power, but it was de clined. AND CLERICAL OXFORD, DEC. 4. CICEEN'S COLLEGE. —'this morn n the Rev.

The day's sales are esti mated at 8,000 bales, and include 2,500 taken on specula tion; 400 Pernam and Maranhaus, at Md. to 61d.; 100 Bahi t, at 6d.; 600 Egyptian, at 50. to Bd.; 3,500 Surat, at 3d. to Md ; imports since this day week, 10,000 bales. MANCHESTER. DEC. 4.—Our trade market has been ex• ceeding heavy, in consequence of the extraordinary intelli gence to band from France; and, indeed, business is almost entirely suspended. There was some disposition to do business yesterday, in consequence of more favourable ac counts than had been anticipated; but the telegraphic messages of this morning have roused distrust on all sides, and an anxious feeling pervaded the Exchange this morning during the whole meeting. WOOL.—BRADFORD, Dec. 4.—There is a fair amount of business doing in combing wools, considering the compara tive small consumption. Staplers are generally seeking an advance, which is only in some instances acceded to by the spinners. The stock of wool in this market is below an average, and the choice in several descriptions very scanty. Short wools, for flannels, are becoming scarce, and better prices are now obtainable. Noils and brakes withoutchange in prices, with no stocks on hand. MANUFACTURES. BRA uroun, Dee. 4.—Yarns Yarns The continued short-time running keeps the market free from surplus stock. The contracts entered for December have been at an advance upon previous rates, and, from aU that we can learn, what machinery is now working is to absolute order. The complaints of the spinners are un abated ; fur, although an advance is currently obtained, yet that advance is not snfficieut to cover the cost of production, while wool is more difficult to purchase. Pieces: Although there is a full average of merchants attending the market today, we do not learn that any improvement has taken place. Many would buy could they lay in goods as they might have done a month ago. Manufacturers have no dis position to run their looms full time, and not obtain working expenses. To realise a profit seems out of the question. But a continuance of the present prudent course will soon bring about that healthy business which is so desirable for all connected with the trade. HOSIERY, &c.—NotriNoitan, Dee. 4.—The position of the various branches of the hosiery manufactures has very little altered; while the bobbin net trade continues in nearly as depressed a condition, and many of the machine owners and manufacturers are in a state of despondency. Some manufacturers have, however, rec.:lied orders which they state will take them six months to complete. CORN.-BANIIVRT, Dec. 4.—This market was firm for Wheat to-day, at la-t week's prices.

CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGE:MT.—Last evening, Mr. G. Dawson delivered a lecture at St. Martin's Hall, Long-acre, in furtherance of the principles sought to be car ried out by the Co-operative Assnciataons. The lecturer drew a vivid picture of the many disadvantages arising from the present system of retail trade, and proceeded to argue that the only true remedy was to be found in . a right sad timely application of capital, skill, and esperienco to the establishment of the principle of co-operative agency The objects of the associations were to counteract thp practices of adulteration and fraud now prevailing in trade, to act as agents for the consumers in making their purchases, and for the producers in seUing their produce ; and to find era ployment for the disciples of the co-operative system, by the collection of orders through a regular channel. Mr. Dawson contended that this co-operative agency wow deserving of pub lic support, because it was the most effectual means which bad ever been devised for giving the working classes the benefit of their labour. He argued moreover that it was impossible that Christianity, which was so much vaunted in this country, could be kept up amongst the people unless a true spirit of brotherhood were established upon the principle that men should labour together for the geeeral advantage of all. After dwelling with much argu mentative skill upon the loss of money sustained by the people in their dealings with retail tradesmen, Mr. Dawson concluded a very able lecture by pointing out the numerous 1 benefits which would accrue from co-operative establish. melts if properly organised, and he earnestly called upon all present to support him and the friends of these associa tions in the view they bad taken of this important subject. The lecturer was followed by Mr. Lloyd Jones, who ad dressed the audience to a similar effect, and stated that the system or co-operative gamy was already gaining ground in various parts of England—a tact which had come to his I knowledge from personal observation, having, he said; tra- Yelled about the country for the purpose of extending the progrew of such associations. There were some hundreds of these establishments in existence, and they were all pro -1 ceeding is their operations most successfully and satis factorily.
