This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing and working two valuable freehold mineral properties, known as the Wheal Fortune and Wheal Virgin Mines, situated 30 miles from the shipping port of Geralilton, in the Champion Bay district of Western Australia. The property comprise. 230 acres of freehold land with the minerals, and was obtained direct from the crown to the year 1.59, by local adventurers, who subscribed a limited capital, which was expended in the purchaae of the land and the necessary raining plant, leaving a balance of only 1310 to com mence operations. Three sloths are already sunk to the respec tive depths of 8, 12, and it fathoms, and severed distinct copper lodes and lead-bearing crosscourses discovered. From one or two of the former 040 tons of copper ore have been raised and transmitted to this country, and sold at Swansea, by public ticketing; between February 14, 1800, and June 10, 1802, the per collage of which for pure copper averaged 24, and realised the suns of £18,600 M. 9d., sa is evidenced by the following transcript of the ticket sales thereof : In addition to which, about 100 tons of sick lead ore have been obtained from a cross course, and sold for £BB7. A further parcel of 100 tons of copper ore is advised at the port, ready for shipment, Altogether the clear profit during the two years was £3,600, on the initial work ing capital of £llOO, exclusive of the purchase as aforesaid. The operations at the mines are continued, and the yield of ore In creases as the works progress, so that proportionate receipts may be anticipated The copper on was consigned to Messrs. Win.

THE House of Commons has by a majority of 149 to 94 sanctioned the war between classes which the House of Lords has proclaimed. Dis regarding the warnings which fell from the grave lips of experience and responsibility on both aides of the House—turning deaf ears to the legal prin ciples urged by the Hour Szearrsay, and to the figures expounded by Mr. HattLar—it has affirmed the proposition that the police of the nation are to be turned into the conservators of the abused privileges of the wealthy. For such, whatever amendment may be introduced in de tails, is the avowed substance and object of the Night Poaching Prevention Bill. Already, as Sir Groitoz Ganz showed, the law affixes penal tiesl of the severest character to the I offence of trespassing in pursuit of game by night. But it leaves the detection and seizure of the offenders to those who alone are in terested in the matter, those whose pleasure it is to encourage a breed of animals to wander over the face of the earth, in orderthat theyalone may enjoy the delights of " wild sports." These men have so increased the numbers of their "wild animalethat it is now worth the while of idle men to dare the law in order to bring them to market, as it has all along been a temptation to hungry men to kill them for their own use, and to active, though landless, men to kill them for the sake of the sport which is reserved by law for their betters. So now the demand is made that this personal right of allowing game to roam at large shall be, not merely guarded by penalties, but protected by the officers of the law. The police, who are paid in part out of the county rates, but in part also out of the Consolidated Fund, are to be required to act as gamekeepers on the highways, because the landowners, bythe mouth of Sir Joitw Perartorow, declare that " it is per " fectly monstrous that the landed property of " England should be at the mercy of these " marauders of the night, poachers." No doubt it does seem perfectly monstrous to the " landed " property " that they should not be allowed to THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY *TIMING, JULY 18, 1862. leave what the law calls theirs to wander at lame without making the polies its guardians. But we do, for their own sakes, most deeply regret that • the " landed property " should have had influence enough to obtain recoglition . by the Hose of Commons of a claim so outrageous to every prin ciple of justice. For in this matterthe interestaof the landowners stand on one aide, and those of the community on the other. It is mere foolishness to say, as has been said, out of the House, by some who show their ignorance of the habits of the animals in question, that the public at large have any con cern with the preservation of game in the sense in which the words are now used. So far as the sup ply of food is concerned, the public would be better served if game were kept in the enclosures in which so much of it is brought up, without the ceremony of turning it out into the fields to be shot down by noble sportsmen or by ignominious poachers. Abolish the Game Laws, and the markets inevery town will be stocked more amply by profes sional than they are now by titled poulterers. Grouse, perhaps, only excepted (and they are not now in debate), there is no species of British game which cannot be profitably bred and reared in moderate yet secure confinement. Pheasants, we all know, are so brought up by preference ; partridges will not shift out of their native field if they find food and shelter in it ; hares grow fatter the less dis tance they have to travel, and only the courier, who wishes them to be in good wind, finds advan tage in their being compelled to go far for their living. The case of salmon is in some respects different, but in no point does it afford support to the principle of the Game Laws. Salmon is by nature as much a salt as a fresh water fish, and an annual migration to the sea is a necessity of its existence. For its preservation, while thus pass ing through the land of many different owners, the law enacts certain regulations, but the observance even of these is committed to water bailiffs, paid, not out of the general rates, but out of sums assessed upon those who receive profit from their employment. But a much closer analogy is to be found in the case of deer in a park. These animals, formed by nature for fleetness, are the shyest of our wild creatures, and certainly would seem to be the most tempting objects to the poacher. Yet they thrive, as we all know, in enclosed parka, and being thus enclosed they are scarcely the object of illegal pursuit, while the law, consolidated in the Larceny Act of last year, has long recognised the difference between the crime of stealing them from such enclosures and of hunting them in open ground. So too in both respects is it in the case of rabbits kept in warrens. Utterly idle, then, is it to pretend that the supply of food question is involved in the maintenance of a system which has for its object only to allow game to wander at large, and to restrict the office of slaughtering it for our use to delicately gloved hands. Utterly defenceless on any ground of public advantage is the proposal thus to re-enact the curfew laws, and confine every Englishman and Englishwoman to their houses between sunset and eight in the morning, under penalty if found abroad of being searched by the rural constables lest they carry concealed instruments for the cap ture of game. But futile and founded on ignorance as are the pretences that the new coercive measure is of value for increasing the supply of food, the sug gestion that it is required for the repression of crime is far worse than foolish. The returns lately produced to the House of Commons show that poaching is but to a very slight extent the nursery of criminals which it has been studiously represented to be. Out of 190,000 persons com mitted to gaol during seven years—for we see no reason in excluding from the total, as Mr. HENLEY did, those committed in the Metropolitan district —only 2,000 had been previously committed for poaching. It is true that some poachers might be unknown to the police ; but on the other band there were probably many among the 2,000 who were burglars first and poachers afterwards, and who therefore were not poachers before they were burglars. Yet such proportion, be it greater or smaller, as truly were lured into the ranks of crime through the temptations of poaching, are the sternest witnesses against the laws which create poaching. It is admitted that but for the Game Laws, game would not be an object of illegal pursuit; their supporters say, because there would be no game ; their opponents say, because game would be kept for sport in moderate num bers, and for food, in enclosed places. In either way, however, the Game Laws are confessedly the source of this temptation to crime. Are they worth it? Is any man's amusement worth another man's soul f Is the recreation, is the existence of a whole aristocracy worth conservation at the cost of making 2,000 hardened criminals every seven years ? Such are the questions which the game-preserving majorities in the Lords and Com mons would set men pondering, even in the quietest and happiest of years. But now, when we have famine in the land, and rich men will neither give of their superfluity nor will even yield so far to human weakness as to shut up from the view and the reach of starving men, with starving wives and starving infants round the cold hearthstone of their homes, those half-tamed ani mals which live only for sport to the pampered, but which would be life to those to whom famine clings—what, in the name of misery, are we to think of game-preserving now ? For the very statistics which form the cue of the game-pre. servers declare, beyond doubt, that theirs is the contest between redundantease and simple hunger. The law has remained unaltered for twenty years, and offences against it remained, till eighteen months ago, at their average amount, and even now are not increased in the majority of counties. But since mills have been closed and factories and workshops put on half time, there has been in Cheshire, Lancashire, and Shropshire, most notably, a rise in the number of offences under the Game Laws, and of assaults on those employed in enforcing them. There is no conclusion to be drawn but that it is want which makes so many poachers now. Evil is the case of that land, and perilously threatened are its institutions, whose rulers, in the hour when want drives men to desperation, sit in high council on the question how they may keep their own to themselves, and by repressive laws and new powers given to the police make more assured and more exciting the pleasures in which they propose to spend their months of idleness. THIS is, in the horrible slang of the times, a " sensation " year in town, and among the excite ments provided for our foreign and provincial visitors, is garotting at night in the principal thoroughfares, which the police authorities, by way of a picturesque revival of the good old times, are kind enough to authorise at least by the non-inter ferenoe of the reputed guardians of the public safety. To the profound generalizations of those Parisian chroniclers who are following the foot steps of M. Animas; may be added something of this kind. " London by night is what Hoene " low-heath was a hundred years ago. One night " it is a member of the Parliament robbed and half " murdered at one in the morning at the corner of " Pall.roall, and picked up in a pool of blood' by 1“ some brother legislators. Anothir night it is a " gentleman who is knocked down ind choked by • " gang of thieves ins street leading oat of Holborn. " Another night it is in Piccadilly that a gentleman " going home is seized by the throat and left " almost lifeless on the pavement. We warn those " of our countrymen whomaybeprojecting • voyage " across the Channel that the British capital is a " battle-field of raging cabmen by day, and a lair of " footpads and assassins by night. It is a curious " instance of the anomalous conservatism of British " legislation, that while the Parliament is debating " a project of law for the employment of county " policemen u gamekeepers to the rich landlords, " even Members of Parliament cannot walk home, " after dark, from their public duties in safety. In " this respect London by night, in 1862, is Old " London with a vengeance 1 Those stiff and full- I " fed figures in blue, who are types of what the English call respectability,' are in some respects " an admirable body of men ; and there are plenty " of them wherever they are not wanted. Indeed, " wicked jokers pretend that their habits are only " too domestic, and that their principal occupation " is the pursuit of knows fortunes and of subterm " neon suppers in the mansions of the aristocracy. " All night they are to be met with, occa " sionally in groups of two or three, chat " ting, smoking, and taking it easy ; and " it is true they make less noise than the cats." There would be some trifling exaggeration in such a picture as this from the pen of a Parisian phi losopher; but not much. The case of the hon. Member for Blackburn, assaulted and robbed in Waterloo-place, on his way home from the House, will, it is to be hoped, induce the Hone SWIM TART and the Cruse Comituonoirsm of Powas to provide, if possible, a little more efficiently for the safety of those humbler public servants whose misfortune, not fault, it is to walk from one end of London to another in the dead of night or the grey of the morning.

PARIS, THUISDAT EVWHO. The laconic summary of the news from Mexico in yesterday's Moniteur has not served to disguise the fact that the situation of General de Lorencees corps at Orizaba is, in the words which the Opinion Nationale does not fear to use at the head of its columns, " truly difficult." In the general's report published to-day he says that he expected to be attacked on June 12 by 11,000 men, under the Mexican generals Zaragoza and Ortega, and that he was " prepared to receive them." No doubt French troops, in an entrenched position such as Lorencez is described to have at Orizaba, would, unless they were very unlucky indeed, repulse a vastly superior numerical force of Mexicans. But Geueral de Lorenoez admits that his small army is very much scattered, and that the garrison of Orizaba may possibly be very small at the moment of an attempted coup de main. Private letters, thought by the Opinion Nationale to come from a good source, speak of 20,000 instead of 11,000 as the probable force which Juarez was bringing against Orizaba. There are letters from Orizaba, dated June 12, showing that the attack had not been made on the day that Lorenoez expected. It is hardly likely that the Mexicans will knock their heads against the French entrenchments, but it is more than probable that they must have entirely cut off the communications with Vera Cruz, which, as proved by the 3foniteur's admission of the loos of 20 waggons laden with provisions, have never been easy and regular. An attack upon Vera Cruz, which these letters speak of as imminent, is more probable than one upon Orizaba, because at Vera Cruz the French forces are miserably weak, and the fortifications from the land side are inconsiderable. The Mexicans cannot, of course, expect to hold Vera Cruz long against the naval force which the French can bring to bear upon it, but they may make a diversion there extremely embarrassing to Lorenoez. It ia rumoured that con flicting recommendations have been brought by the last packet from Lorencez and the French minister, De Saligny. The general renews emphatically the statement contained in his despatch relating the defeat of Puebla, that the French government had been completely taken in by General Almonte as to the feeling of the country ; and argues that no good can be done except by lending a hand to the IRieral party. Saligny, however, still holds out fur the clericals and reactionists represented by Almonte, on whose behalf the intervention was con ceived. The most pregnant confirmation is given, by the whole tenor of the latest news, of the hatred of the Mexican people of Almonte and his French allies. Almonte got a large sum of money from the French to buy off Juarez's generals. He sent some of this money to General Negrete, who kept it, sent him a letter in return reproaching him for his treason, and coutinned to serve Juarez. His attempts to debauch other officers of the re publican government met with no better success. This man Almonte, however, is allowed by the anomalous and most unjustifiable French protec tion which he enjoys to play extraordinary antics. He has enthroned himself at Vera Cruz as " Pro visional President of the Republic," and promul gates proclamations and decrees under cover of that title. He has created the new crime of "dis affection," of which he declares that every Mexican citizen will be deemed to be guilty who refuses to hold any office which he may assign to him. Moreover, by a decree dated Orizaba, June 1, "in the name of God and the law," Almonte created 500,000 piastres of paper money, which he directed should have a forced currency under the penalty of heavy fines, a large propor tion of which were to be given in rewards to informers. When this impudent proclamation appeared all the shops, hotels, and cafis in Vera Cruz were shut up, and a great many of the inhabitants signed a protest, which they took to M. Roza the French ConsuL In consequence of M. Rcze's remonstrances the decree was pro visionally suspended and the shops were opened again, but at the moment of the departure of the Vera Cruz packet it was rumoured that Almonte was determined to carry out his decree. The Pays tells the very improbable story that Juarez had proposed to General de Lorencez an armistice for a month, and that the request was peremptorily refused. This is most unlikely, General de Loreucez, on his own showing, being on the defensive in an entrenched position, and it being obviously the game of the Mexicans to harass him on all aides, and cut off his communi cations. The Patrie denies, and we must hope on good grounds, the report of ten French soldiers and two women having been burnt alive by the Mexicans. Yesterday evening the fashionable promenaders on the Boulevard des Italians were startled by the sound of a pistol, which was tired at a carriage drawn up at the side of the pavement, by a young man who ran away and was not captured. The horse was wounded. No further particulars of this mysterious affair are known. The Bourse, after opening quietly at yesterday's prices, was toted upon during the last quarter of an hour by a panic which is not yet explained. The Rente fell 20c. both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 25c. and 68fr. 30c. Mobilier fell 3fr. 75c. The Italian Loan, which has lately been so firm, was carried away with the stream, and fell 25c. Railways were , all about 2fr. 500. lower. A new English church is being built in that part of the Rue Roqudpine which is prolonged to the Boulevard idslg:sherbet.

About 2 p.m. we were visited by a very heavy thiroderstorm, accompanied by terrific flashes of lightning, which struck the lifeboat. The electric fluid appear to have entered at the misen mast-head and proceeded downwards to the iron keel— no injury is done to the boat. The mmt, 25 fest long, appears as if it burst from head to heel, and • long splinter driven out of it. Two men, Robert George, age about 73, and James Webster, about 36, sad also two boys, Wickersoo and Goulder, between 5 and 6 years old, were taking shelter under the bow of the boat from a very heavy shower of rain and bail, and were rendered insensible for • short time. Mr. Palmer, of Yarmoutbotod Dr. Wood man, of Ormsby, were shortly in attendance, and under their care the sufferers are likely to do well. George's injuries are io the leg and foot, which are scorched in several places ; this morning be is able to leave his bed. Webster's arm is lacerated, and the sleeve of his coat was torn to some extent. He is well enough to visit Yarmouth this morning. The boys seemed stunned more than burt. Some hair no the top of Wicker. son's head was singed, and has cap driven off. This valuable lifeboat has during the past winter and spring rendered on two different 00011SIODS some of the moat important services ever performed by a lifeboat to suffering humanity, as the stews of sixteen men balosiging to the brig Sider*, of Whit by, and schooner Trial, of Poole, can testify.

The following is Mr. Pilkington'a own account of the robbery mentioned in the Express of last evening :—" I left the house at 1 o'clock on Tue•day morning. On arri• viog at the Senior United Service Club I hesitated whether to call at the Reform Club or go through Waterloo-place home, and decided on the latter course. I remember crossing Pall-mall, and then all contemn/mem left me. I can not remember seeing any one, nor did I feel the sensation of a blow, but I feel sawed, from the contusiocuiat the back of my head, that it must have been a blow that stunned me, and, from the pain round the top of the neck and imme diately under the chin, my medical men conclude it was an attempt at prating. I remained perfectly insensible until 1 arrived at the corner of Cork-street, when I became partially conscious, but how I arrived there, having both bat and um brella safe, I cannot toll It has suggested itself to me, that the parties might have been hidden about the Guards' monument. On arriving at home I bed lost watch and chain, but some silver and a bank note were untouched in my pockets, from which I infer that the robbers were disturbed. I arrived at the hotel with my under garments and cost saturated with blood, the greatest loss of which was from a very severe and deep wound in the jaw." Sir Charles Eastlake has just bought Gains borough's portrait of Mre. Siddons for the National Gallery, from Major Moir, the husband of Mrs. Suldona's grad• daughter, for a thousand guineas. A meeting was held at tho Rooms of the Archi tectural Society, in Cooduit•street, on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of inaugurating a new society, to be called the Society of Sculptors of England. The chair was taken by James Edmiston, Esq., and resolutions in furtherance of the projisot were carried unanimously, The Belgian Chamber of Representatives re sumed its kbours oa Monday. The members unanimorialy decided that the assembly should be present in • boJy at the Te Dena to be sung on Monday next in honour of the anniversary of the rwaxesion of King Leopold. The Marquise de Mornay, daughter of the late Marshal Souk, has just died in Paris. She leaves one son, Lieutenant de Mornay...Sault de Dalmatie, of the 3rd Regi ment of Hussars, and orderly officer to the Minister of War. The Russian steam frigate Smely is to proceed to Swisemunde, to embuk the Japanese ambaseadon for St. Petersburg. The captain, M. Kasnahow, of that vessel, who fora long time resided in Japan, and knows the lan guage and customs of the country, has been expressly selected to receive them. The Vienna journals announce the approaching publication of a pamphlet, in the French language, by the Duke of Modena. It is entitled, " The ModeueseTroops in Austria," and demands that Austria should continue to maintain them. The Poetampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 14th, states that the Swiss riflemen have been most successful at the shooting match going on there. The silver cup, for a series of 36 numbers, arse gained by Jean Hauser, of Richter schwiel, in the canton of Zurich ; Streifflugainger, of Glarus, carried off the mooed prize ; and Hots, of Volleuded, in the aantoo of Zurich, the third. The laud discovery of the Venetian police does them credit. The Italians, male and female, who remelt in Venice, have lately appeared weaving larg e gold pins, the heads of which are shaped like broad beans. To a stranger thin would only appear another phase of the fuhioo which made gold or broom swords, spurs, screws, and teupenoy nails—the latter called " chiodi," which also signifies debts, is a very popular pin with young Italy —the ortho • dos fastening for a shawl or handkerchief ; but the quick eyes of the Amarillo police have dimovered that each bean contains the portrait of sours great Italian liberal; so that fashion is suppressed by law, and the jewellery are eons. pilled to counterorder the supply they have ordered from ]film and Taria. ROME. According to a correspondent of the Temps at Rome, the Pope is about to issue a doctrinal bull, which will condemn in detail all the errors of the human mind, and will trace a line of demarcation between the catholic dogmas and human presump tion. The Pope has been earnestly engaged upon this document for some time. He has already consulted the bishops upon the propositions which the bull is to contain ; and in three months, when the prelates will have replied, the Holy See will make it known what we ought to believe, and what we ought to abjure. The correspondent says " that he had never imagined that such a divorce between Rome and the age could be so audaciously devised." A Turin letter in the Corriere Belle Marche says : Them is some talk about an imposing scheme for the est- Dement of the Roman question. It will appear strange at first sight, and I should not mention it if I did not know that it emanated from persons of great authority, on account of the position which they occupy, and because they by no means belong to the party of action. It is proposed to organise a pilgrimage to Rome, in which all the Italians who are in a position to go there at their own expense will take part. It is hoped that there would thus be assembled • million persons who would enter the eternal city without arms. Before this impoaing demonstration the madonna of the Pope would necessarily cease, and the arms of France would be lowered. Do not imagine that this is a joke or a dream of fancy. The proposal is made seriously by very grave persona, who nevertheless by no means conceal the difficul ties, especially of • material character, which they would have to surmount in order to put it in execution. But Italy is the country of miracles. Many other enterprises which seemed impossible have been carried to a happy result ; and if this invitation is signed by persons of authority and re spectability, as I have reason to believe, I cannot doubt the success of this demonstration, which will be without example in history. RUSSIA AND CIRCASSIA. A letter from Sookum-Kale, under date of the 20th ult., states :—" We have just learnt that a oolumn of 4,000 Russians has been surprised by moun taineers in the defile of, Dekuako, in Abaseb, near Schiaguaachia ; the former were utterly routed and nearly all destroyed. A large supply of munitions and several pieces of cannon fell into the hands of the mountaineers. Nothing could have been more opportune, as supplies are much wanted and will pro►e most usefuL A deputation of all the tribes, consisting of Kiortan Oglou, Ismail Effendi, Osman Effendi, Sheik Ismail, Ismail Bey,Beaki-Zadd, Hadji Hassan Effendi, Has san Effendi, and others will shortly leave for Con stantinople, and from thence proceed to Paris and London to present a memorandum to the respective governments, urging the European powers to in duce Russia to terminate the war against the Cir. csasians—a people whose country has not been con quered, and a war which is pursued in a manner which is at once an outrage on humanity, and a violation of the law of nations." FREE Thane nm GERMAN Y. —We have to announce au event which will be most gratifying to those who inte rest themselves in the progress and well-being of the Con tinent. The government of Prussia has determined to enter the Zollverein, and thus throw down the barrier of inland custom-houses along a frontier which extends over the whole length of Germany. This is a commercial and political change of no small importance. By the Zollverein the unity of the smaller states has been nearly arcompli,hed, so far as concerns the fusing of industry and the bringing together of the inhabit ants. the eyeless into which Prussia now enter has had its man of trial, and the accession of this great king dom gives it a solidity which insures its permanence. The slow and somewhat timid policy of Prussia gives the event a still greater interest ; for, unless the King and the statesmen of Berlin saw that the time had come for new relations between the German states, they would assuredly not have the au association formed by the minor members of the confederacy. But we believe that this is not AIL It is said that not only has Prussia joined the Zollverein, but that Austria meditates the same act, and that the only difficulty with the politicians and lawyer, of Germany relate' to the non-Federal portions of the ' Austrian territory.—Times. 1 THE SVLTAN AT A FIEL—One of the moat exten sive and disastrous fires that have visited Coussisustinople for many months past, broke out on Monday afternoon. The extreme narrowness of the streets or rather alleys— which at many points were literally only wide enough for two persons to onset • time—immmaely aided the progress of the flame; and the houses being, owing both to their age and the long summer heat, as dry as tinder, the engulph meat of the whole in the fiery flood was the work of almost lase time than we have taken to tell it. At a juncture when the barracks were virtually resigned as a prey to the Hamm two figures were seen on the roof of the building, so near to the rolling flood of fire that it coruscated round them like a nimbus, threatening at each moment to suck one or both into the blazing abyss. They were in stantly recognised as the Sultan and the Capitau Path; and the effect on the labouring crowd of soldiers, sailors, and firemen was absolutely electrical. In • few seconds the roof of the barracks was covered with eager combatants of the llamas, and his Ma jesty was actually forced back out of the imminent danger into which his humane seal had thus drawn him. The whole force of the engines was then turned on the barracks and the adjoining provision stores, and in Ism than half an hour all danger to this important pile of buildings was averted. It is no courtly exaggeration to say that his Majesty literally exposed himself like • common fireman, and largely con tributed, by his example and his directions, to the ultimate reduction of the oonfiagmtion. The official returns of the calamity report 352 houses, 318 shops, 2 baths, 3 school; 2 flour mills, 1 oil ditto, 3 mosques, 1 fireman's barrack, and 1 charcoal store, as destroyed by the tire. The sufferers from the calamity are for the present camped in the Petit Champs, in tents provided by the government, by which also supplies of food and other necessaries have been fur nished by the Sultan's orders.—Levant Herald, July 9.

The en annian, in moving the adoption of she said the excess of 2,0001. in the expenditure arose= the manipulation of 8,000 additional tons ; while on tbe other head the rates bad undergone a reduction of about the same amount. This accounted for the min• tire of the dividend from Me. to 30a. ; and however the directors might regret that evil they had seen no way of avoiding it. Negotiations were being carried on with the beards of the Victoria Dock Oosgany and other COMPOiei for a readjustment of rates, and it was possible that special meeting would be convened to consider that subject. Mr. W. GLADSTONE (deputy chairmen) seconded the motion, and expressed his belief that the negotiations re• tarred to would have a satisfactory issue. He thought they ought not to be satisfied with less than 5 or 6 per cent. After some discussion the motion was carried, and the meeting terminated in the canal manner. THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. On Wednesday evening a numerous meeting of operative cotton spinners (the minders of self.actuu reachioes) was held at the John-street Hall, Manchester, to take into consideration what Maps should be taken to alle• vista the distress arising out of the cotton famine, and to protest against the labour test enforced by the guradians of the poor upon applicant for relief. W. Roams, an operative, presided, and strongly de nounoskthe labour Met. Wit. SCHOFIELD then addressed the meeting, contending that the labour-test unnecessarily degraded those who were nub jeded to it under present cimumstaocee, and could is well be dispensed with here as at Rochdale, Oldham, and other places, where the guardians were Dot enforcing it. Such a test was well enough foridlers and felons, but he held it ought not to be appliecnto working men out of employment through no fault of their own. He said the value of the work thus obtained to the town was only about 31. per 100 men per week, and was unworthy of consideration. lie concluded by moving the appointment of a deputation to wait upon some of the larger ratepayers to ascertain their feelinge with resod to the abolition of the labour teat, and to wait upon other branches of the cotton trade with a view to a monster meeting to make their feelings on this ques tion known, and thereby put an end to the degrading system. Au OPERATIVE seconded the motion ; and, in reply to guardian who said the labour teat would keep them out el mischief, observed that it would be much better to em ploy them with books and slates, and so in adversit , teach them what might be useful when prosperity should come sgsin. He characterised the proposal to mod young girls into the workhouse as an insult, and complained that the mayor and others had discouraged subscriptions from a distance. The resolution was agreed to.
