" HOUSEHOLD WORDIL"—Tbe first number of the weekly journal under this title. conducted by Mr. Charles Diek-na, has just tapeared. It opens with the following " Peasantry word. The name that we have chosen for this pedantic/a Imprison, generally, the desire we have at heart is origination it. We aspire to live in the household affec tions, and he be numbered mama the household thoughts, of our readers. We home to be the neared' and friend of many thossands of people, of both Mugs, and of all ages sad eendi tier s, on when fans we may nine leek. We so kto bring Late insamerable hones, from the stirring world around us, the know.edge of maay social wooden, goon and evil, that are not calculated to render any of us less ardently p• never leg in sarielves. ieee tolerant of ono another, lees faithful in the propos of mankind, lees thankful for the privilege of living in this summer-dawn of time. No mere inilOarian spirit, no inn binding of the miod to grim realities, will airs a harsh tons to our Hou'ehold Words. In the bosons of the young and old, of the walLtodo sod of the poor, we would ten I,r.y cherish that light of rant which is inherent in the human breast ; which, worth: g to its nurture, burns with an inspire( flame, or rt. Ito into a sidles glare, bat which (or woe b e tide th a t d a y!) en never be extioguished. To show to all, that in all familiar things, non in those which are repellant on the saran, there la roman enough, it we will lad it oat : —to teach the hardest workers at isle whirlieg wheel of toil, that their kt is net neessearily a moody, brutal feet, excluded from the ernes. thin and graces of imagina•ion ; to bring the gm iter asid the lesser in degree, together, upon that wide field, and mutually dispose them to a bettor acquaintance and • hi: der undentandieg—ls one mail, objet of our Houw hold Words. The mightier ioventions of this age are not, to our thinking, all material, but have • kind of soak in their stuoendous bodies which may find expression in Household Word.. The travel's, whom we ace :nasty on his railroad or Lis steamboat journey, may gain, we hope, some sour 'natio& for acids nu which these later generations have stained, in new also enlace with the Power that bears him onward ; with the habitations and the ways of life of crowds of hie fellow crea tures amosg whom he natio like the wind; even with the towering chimes's be may see, spirting out fire and smoke upon the raspiest. The ew n 'teats, Slaves ot the Lamp of Knowledge, hay • their thousand and one tales, no lees the n the Genii of the East • and these, in all their wild, grotesque, and fanciful upsets, in all their sassy phases of ;pederast*, in all their many moving lee one of comp.' too and contd. r &tin, we design to tell. Our Household Words will not be echoes of the present time akin but of the past too. Neither will they treat of the lopes, the enterprises, triumphs, joys, and sorrows, of this country only, but, in a ome degree, of there of every nation upon earth. For nothing can bus soarer of real interim in one of them, without concern log all the rest. We have coesidered what an ambition it is to be admitted into many horn's with affecti , n and eoefi • dean ; to be regarded a. a friend by children sad old people; to be thought of is of ctioo and in happiness ; to roe', the sick eons with airy shapes ' that give del•gbt and hurt not,' and to be as echoed with the harmLre Machos and the gentle tears of many hearths. Ws know the great respond hi ity of such a privilege : its vast reward ; the pictures that it conjures up, In hours of solitary labour, of a multitude moved by one sympathy; the solemn ho r s whisk it awakens in the labourer's breast, that he may be fin from self re proach in looking back at last upon his week, sad that hie name may be remembered in his nem In time to cone, and borne by the dear objects of his love wito poi ie. The hand that writes these (attain./ lines, happily associated with some Household Words before today, has Known enough of such ezparienoes to enter in as earnest spirit upon this new task, and with an awakened sense of all that it in volves. Same tillers of the field iota which we new come, have been before as, and some ere here whose Ligh unfelnen we readily acknowledge, and whoa, company it is an boeour to join. Ba,there at, others here— Bastards of the Mountain, draggled 'nage on the Red Cap, Panders to the basest pas sions of the lowest natures—whose existence is a national reproach. And these, we should consider it our high- st service to displace." ANTI-CIWRCH AND STATE MEETING AT BARNSLEY. —O6 Monday 'Teeing one of the 'uteri Deering, aver held in Bentley on this subject took place In the M•chaotest•hall, which was well filled.

MORNINGS AT TUB MILLS.—No. L &fere I ask year readers to sake sae of the Man chester mills, it wW be r Wili to Melte him to walk down with me to the Iteassage. There he will see the men who owe these mills, sad primps the pre liminary introduction may he useful in ether respects. It is now Teasley_ morning—half-peat twelve. We ars at the Qaesn's Hotel, sod the grant manor "buel asse-Manchester," the part in width the actual bay ing and selling is done ' Iles bellows as and the &ohmage. The mills inwhieh the esanufsetures are coaducted 1a farther away from the entre ot the town, in what were, not many years spy the suburbs —Animate, Chubs., Wiesen, &e,, let which are now built is completely. Am we cosmoses our walk towards the Exchange the eye is first arrested by the Infirmary as the left, a wide pile of lmildiog, sad with an ample space shoat it, sound with water and garden, ow of the greet institutious of Manohester. Behind it rises a magnificent range of warehouses, the central we of which is oompied by the present excellent msyar—Mr. John Potter. Nothiag could well be finer as to effect, the purpose of the pile considered. Lofty, specious, severe, and regular in their exterior form, they are no bed indi cations of the character of their owners. Only a few years ago the ground on which they mud was covered with moderately good houses, in which the higher clue of merchants lived in a style of great abandon sad geniality: but the locality has not changed its aspect more completely than the inhabi tants their after-dinner habits. Forty years ago this, the centre of the town, was almost on the skirt : the warehouses, mean and wretched affair'', were then chiefly clustered abut the narrow alleys at th e b ac k of Market-street and Smithy-door. Trade, like fashion, is sporadic. Mee are alive who found Ressell-equare rather a fashionable locality. The ware has swept on westward. li.gent-creet, Gros venor-square, and Hyde-park fail to hold the charmer within the bounds of May-fair. So it is here with commerce. It has almoet quitted the neighbourhood of the Exchange, and daily travels more and more to the north and west It is high 'Change at one o'clock. As we pan down Market-street, between rows of gigantic buildings, and through pushing, rushing, crushing crowds of eager and anxious men, we ere something of the cha racter of the people. In London we are accustomed to think we lave jostiO than st , y other set of folks in the world; and in some respects we do. Our lite is more varied more dramatic— its periods more strongly contrasted, from grave to gay, from lively to severe—hennas we live nearer to the focus of all the powers, thoughts, and energies of England : bat in that kind of excitement which wi r ers from intense application to a single set of ideas no men perhaps live more or faattr than the merchant princes of Manchester. See that stone, bugling man who is just pushing into the Exchange be fore us. That is Mr. A., the great shipper to South America. He employed five thousand workmen, earning perhaps on the average a pound a week each : the wars are raid every fourteen days-10,0001. a fortnight, 260,0001. a year, in wages only ! He manufactures and exports goods to Lima, to ban Francisco, to Valparaiso, and other ports and markets on the Pacific coast of South America. If his returns come round in a year he is fortunate ; when trade is bad, perhaps his returns come in two years, or in two and a half. All this time the five thousand most be paid their wages. How explosive must be the capital or credit which can meet contingencies like thee! Yet that man has been the architect of his own fortunes. If you ask him who his grandfather was, he will o nly laugh at you ; he doer not believe it necessary for a man to havu had a grandfather who has conduct, courage, and enterprise of his own. Mr. A. is an excellent specimen of his class. Being now a little past one o'clock, the whole of this magnificent building—tie finest Exchange in the world beyond all comparison—is crowded in every part. This is • sight not to los missed. Trade is not very brisk just now, and the general expression is that of eagerness, dashed with gloom. The telegraph is hard at work. From London, Dover, Southamp ton, Liverpool, and Hull, intelligence comes in along the wires. The man instantly records the fact an nounced ; and a crowd of anxious persons instantly Bur lotted the board to catch the magic words. Them, sea: e comes from Dover, " Thiers has declared fur a repub lic—French Fives —" The next moment it is an counted that the Cambria is in sight off Liverpool —a person now rushes, chalk in hand, to the railway board, and scores under the name of each line the prices of shares ten seconds before at Capel-court. And so it goes on. You notice at a glance that the persons wno fill the room at this moment admit of some division. The St. Arm's-street wing—where the telegraphic announcements are made—is chiefly occu pied by foreigners ; men with every imaginable cut of beard and visage, and speaking many unimaginable tongues. They, however, chiefly belong to two nations—Germany acd Greece. The number of German families settled in Manchester is so conside rable as to have earned for the district in which they chiefly reside the name of " Little Germany." The position which they occupy in Manchester society is of the highest consideration, and they have helped not. little to diffuse a love of music, of art, and letters, among the native families, with whom they live on friendly terms. Stray men of letters, or of wieners, from oar own Babylon find with them the warmest welcome ; acd there is one eminent and noble lady of the nation here to whom every man of intellect is a friend. Need I name to you Madame Salle Schwabe, —the point at which the two worlds of intellect and commerce intersect each other ? The Greeks are also very numerous here ; their bar deume, southern countenances, their keen eyes and black beards, con stitute quite a picturesque feature in the ensemble of Manchester. I am old enough, Mr. Ed tor, to remember the time when there was not a Greek en gaged in business in the north of England. Twenty years ago, I believe, there were only four Greek houses in London. At this momeht you may count them in Manchester alone by hundreds ; and it is much the same in Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield, and other manufacturiog towns. In spite of the Bavarian monk whom the great protecting powers gave them for a king to rule over them, sod the wretched German policy which he introduced at Athens, this people have exhibited an elasticity of mind and a power of growth and develepmect each as no nation in modern Europe has ever shows. A caun'ry of slaves and of banditti not thirty years ago, they are already a nation of traders, of scholars and gentlemen. Their shackles only just knocked off, they already appear on the exchanges of Europe a civilised and a noble people. Behold what twenty years of freedom have done fur this Eaely-organised and intellectual race! The eye of the observer will detect at least three or four distinct classes of men even amongst the Saxon part of this assemblage ; there is the merchant, the town manufacturer, and the country manufacturer. The merchant is a mere buyer and aeller of the Ko duce of the district, and his calling is dying out. The producer and the consumer oome year by year closer together. Ikrmerly the Manchester manufacturer seldom left his warehouse or his factory ; devoted only to the work in hand, he hardly knew the geography of his native district. He would hardly trust and trade with his next-door neighbour. France was too far away ; Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, he would have dreamed of letting his goods go there on his own account. The language and the in habitants of these countries were equally out of the range of his ideas. The foreign trade consequently tell into the hands of a few " merchants," who squall, taxed the consumer used the producer. Nor was this all. The Manchester merchant was himself conflued within a narrow field. He rarely or never looked beyond the Alps : to the east of that barrier—to Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Asia Minor, Syria, and the Black Sea—all the commerce of England peered t hrotigh use hands, the ports and custom-houses of the Italian. Bo that between the Manchester producer and the Greek or Armenian distributor of the articles, a series of profits and duties were levied, which more than doubled the original cost. All that is changed or changing now. So far as the net is concerned, the super-subtle Greek has almost driven the Italian cut of the market; and the agent of the consumer having planted himself at the elbow of the producer, but little use is now found for the midde-man. the merchant. The town manufacturer, like the merchant, is generally en importation. He is not even of Lincashire family generally speaking. Wnen the cotton manufacture first arose, the kis o -wi tti d, the energetic, and the ambitious rushed to it from all par s of the north t 3 seise by the strong arm and steady brain as much of the new power and the wealth it was to create as they contd.

I I Lastly, there are the " country manufscturen.” These are the true sons ot the sal—they, many of them, speak its dialect—and a rich and noble dialect it is, full of quaint terms, and lending itesif far more readily they model English to humorous description and satirical play upon words—and retain all the genuine raciness of the loiality. When the new power came into existence, these men—slowly, at drat, but fast enough after the more enterprising Yorkehirensan or Lowlander had marshalled them the way—took to it. But they dwelt on the soil—they refused to migrate to Manchester—the Lancashire Boman is powerfully at ached to the field in which is born—bat they set to work in their own roman tic and picturesque valleys. The water-power often obtained on their native hill-side compensated for the extra cost in carriage to Manchester; and so they became and have continued no unworthy rivals of the manufacturers in town. Within a radial of twenty 1 in lee round Mancheler there an hundreds of the mills, often lying in soft and sylvan nooks and corners —on the bank of the Irk, the IrweU, the Medlook, and other streams and strearalets. By and bye I propose to conduct you along one or two of these valleys and show you how these village magnates speak and act at home, how they employ their wealth, and the condition in which their numerous workpeople exist. You notice how silently these men go about their business. A look, a nod, seems to do it all. There are two thousand persons here perhaps; but the con versation is ooly a hum—and that is compoed prin.' civilly of French, Italian, German, Greek, Armenian, Hebrew sounds. With a nod, business is done to the extent of thousands. The men of Lancashire seldom wute their words: as Bonner said, " they keep their breath to cool their porridge." I must give an instance in point. Au eminent member of parliament was waiting for the train at a station on the Manchester and Leeds line, when, seeing a weaver with a warp on his shoulder, he accosted him— " How's trade with you in your line?" " Pretty middlin'," sod the weaver; " ework's *lack, but bread's cheap."—" Aye, bat they talk of putting the corn law on again," returned the legislator, " and what then ? " The wearer inked very incredulous for a moment, and with his order's usual chariness of words replied, " It 'ud be rough."

Nothing but the long and deep interest I have felt in the success of these elf,rts to alleviate a mighty evil would have induced me to r. quest a place in your columns for two or three °beaten tient.. The objectors to ragged schools demand much more from them than ever was demanded by their a4voc ites. We have never regardel them but as palliatives of a terrible and maim( mischief—ask xperiments to try what can be done— e' stone to manifest our sympathy rather than our power. We: say that the good they have effected cannot he stated in tables and ilium. It consists more in the preven tion of what would otherwise hays been enormous, than in the positive and palpable advancement of good over evil. We appeal to every one with the slightest knowledge of Lon don to state what would have been the present condition of the metropolis had not these drone been called into opera tion. The scheme, beelike, of ragged schools, is incomplete without an accompanying scheme of emigration. Wherever this has been 'Meted, our success has far surnared our hopes; and hundreds now in her Majesty's colonies testify, by their condition and conduct, that however low and Mille cable in their twiner lives, they are far from irreclaimable. That many should be obdurate, that many should return to their former MUren and disappoint the hopes of their best friends is incidental to all school., and is &Prost inevitably the lot of our ragged establishments. The children come for daily instruction from scenes of vim, filth, and destitution, nearly unparalleled, and return to them every evening. They are beset by every temptation that appetite, want of employ. ment, and necessity can suggest ; and distress aid suffering threaten every moment of their existence. Many fall away, no doubt; but this only confirms what I have ever ventured to assert, that so long as our population is permitted to con tinue in its present state—in its courts, alleys, and over- I crowded dwellings, as rife wish disgusting immorality as with disease—all effort at education is nearly vain ; the work of mouths is undone is an hour. It Is a consolation, how ever, to those who have laboured, that not a few have been saved from sin and wretchedness; and they feel the rescue of but ace to be so blessed a result that they will neither shrink hem the toil, nor quail under any discouragement —I em, sir, your very obedient servant, AllliLlT.—March 26, 1850."

The meeting was held this owning, in the Town-ball, when Mr. Maimed Birley,:the choirmea oldie eiremiatioa, 'welded, and during the proceedings he read a letter addressed to one of hie brother churchwardens (Mr. Clegg), which gave rise to much laughter at the expense of the Chapter. The letter wee probably from sem. gentlemen engaged in legal pursuits who had been dipping deep into the musty rereads of the past, and had stumbled upon a case which throws some light upon the views which the collegiate body in years long game by, when it suited their purposes, entertained epos this aim disputed question of their liabi lily to thecae, of souls. The letter ales attention to an old law ease, in Wood's Tithe Reports, "The Manchester College v. Andrew." It was a wait instituted by the Warden sad Fellows of the College of Man *beater (now styled the Dean and Chapter) in 1753 to try their right to lay a tithe of 4d. upon every loom used in the manufacture and weaving of cloth in the pariah of Mantheeter, and in the bill which the collegiate body filed on that occasion they thus decribe themselves : .• That the plaintiffs are rectors of the said parish, and do perform all spiritual functious therein I" There is net much doubt, therefore, what opinion the ch a pt er enter tains as to the cure of souls when there is a fat pig in the question, however they may seek to evade its respondoilities at other times. The meeting was attended by T. Clegg and John Morley, Empe., churchwardens; Robert Gardner, Esq.; C. E. Cawley, Esq. C. 8.; W. W. Ooulden, Esq. ; Malcolm Rose, Esq.; James Daring:on, Zoq.• Ilichd. .1. Jones, Esq.; R. T. Fairbridge Big., and other'infiuen dal churchmen, and the proceedings having been opened by the chairman the following espies was read Following the usage which common custom has este- Waked, your committee beg to lay before the members of the assoceetion, a report of their proceedings for the past year, and of the progress which has been made towards the attainment of the objects for which your emaciation woo originally formed. Notwithstanding the attempts which have been made to misrepresent the character of your ....Deletion with the public, your committee believe thatoonsiderable progress has been made towards securing the objects sought, and they now procee d to notice, in order, scone of the occurrences of the put year, and which have served to keep attention fired on the great subject of making the benefits of the church Goa:tingles with the wants of the population. First. in point of time, and sot least in inte rest, was the election of churchwardens. Joining as it did in the triumphant return of the three me ethers of your ema ciation, nominated by your b.oly, and that by a majority of 6 to 1 of voters, and 7 to 1 of vote., and demon stating the feeling of the parishioners generally on the question, which was thus pieced before them for decision, your committee were secured that they had that support of the great body of their fellow. townsmen end parishioners which they felt to be no necessary in order to success. And in this connexion your commite • are desirous of testifying to the great amount of personal attention and labour whisk the present churchwardens have given to the subject, and the earnestness with which they have sought a satisfactory settlement of the ecclesiastical affairs of the parish. 'ihe legal opinion which youreommitt • sought and obtained on the subject of the mire of souls, as attact log to the Chapter, and the esee upon which that opinion ie founded, have been published since the announcement of its neer:ion in the last annual report', and your commistee are happy to find that they did not overrate it. value. As em erasing tine, at least, of the objects sought by your association, and as intimately connected with a second, your committee saw with much satisfaction the appointment by the crown of two commisalocs, one to " inquire how episcopal and capi tutu estates and incomes in England and Wales can be most beneficially managed, with due regard to the just and reasonable claims of the lessees, and also, bow fixed, instead of fluctuding incomes can be best mentred to hiehope and members of charters;" the other fle " inquire into the practicability end mode of sub-dividing Inca distinct and independent pariah, a. tor all ecelesiasticel purposes, all the densely peopled paishis in England and Wales." At the same time they were not without anxiety, lest a peculiar ease like that of Manchester, shield be pre jadiced by any emend enactment, founded on the reports of these oommimions. Your ooMmittie therefore took steps to essertala ta what way the commissi ners intended to take eeidesse, and passed a resolution declari"g what points and engeseelems, ae far as related to the Chapter and parish of Nembeete 1., they deemed as of chief importance to be im premed es the commissioners in any evidence tendered to them. Subsequentiy, memorisls were prepared and forwarded to each 00Mmiwion, giving an outline of the condition and circumstances of the Chapter and parish if Manchester—the objects for welch your association are combined —the desire of your committee that the cam of Manchester might not be prejudiced (through ignorance of its peculiarities) by any general enactment, and offeting evidence of the truth of the allegations contained in their memorials. To each memorial nes added a copy of the case and opinion alluded to above, and your committee afterwards pros red the examination of two gentlemen both well qualified to inform the commis sioned as to the condition and requirements of the parish of Meech's . . er. Early in May your committee decided on sending a deputation from their body to Loi.don, to confer with members of parliament and others, with • view to pro. mote the °liftss of your association. Tee result of this deputation was most important, as serving et show your com mittee the difficulties connected with the introduction into parliament of any measure such as they contemplated ; in what way the views they had already arrived at were likely to fail of realisation ; what, on the one hand, it was likely, upon the best advice and consideratioe they could obtain, and what on the other, they were u - tired they could not ; and further, as enabling them the better, at a subsequent period, to decide upon the scheme propounded to the parishioners by the churchwardens. On the opening of the present session of parliament, your committee appointed another deputation to proceed to Loudon, to disseminate in formation 'stooges, and to endeavour to secure the support of members of parliament towards the principles and main provisions of the bill now before the house, entitled the " Manchester Rectory Division Ball ;" a step the more necessary, inasmuch as it was found that, in consequence of statement. which were being actively circulated, vary erroneous impressions were entertained by some in high quitters, touching the ole jests of the bill, and the motive* of your amociati n in seek ing its promotion. The charge *Mils appears to have been most arldously urged spinet your association is that of seeking to destroy all Deans and Chapters; and that, not by an overt attack on all, but by an insidious ringlet up in one, which would, if successful, issues the destiuction of the whole. To this your committee will make but one r. mark. Their eject is simply to restore the ecstasies teal revenues of Manchester, which have been diverted to Chapter uses, to the pastoral purposes to which they originally belonged. Therefore the circumstances of the emoluments of the Mae. cheater Chapter le ins different from those of every otter ebapter of the kingdom, the argument which seek, to mike this an attempt to destroy all Chapters, obviously fails. The more immediate work of deeming up a scheme to melt the requirements of the parish naturi4ly devolved on the churchwardens, your committee, who have been in con stant and friendly communication wish them, co operating and 'misting them whenever it was in their power. The bill, drawn up by the churchwardens, approved by your committee, and an by a public meeting, has now been published and its provisions exten sively canvassed. As stated by your president at the meeting alluded to, tie measure is not to be considered a perfect one. Sane things which your committee considered as of great importance have been alsitiodotied through necessity, and the retention of others which seemed desirable hes bun found incompatible with the general safety of the bill. After due consideration your committee decided to accept the measure, w in h i i s c e h mai you n r wociation seek to large ob ly tai e n ibbo sad dy..og be t itg e a ob g j re ec a ts t in prevenient on the arrangement between the Chapter and the churchwardens of 11346 7. It was not, iiideed, to be ex pected that any measure of this sort should be so perUCt se to ensure its entire acceptance by every party. On different points different opinions wlil exist ; and your committee, therefore, have not felt themselves justified in rejecting a measure welch does not fall in with all this it views, but which, as a whole, is fitted to be largely beneficial to the pariabionere. Fidlowing up the opposition mode to the meeting at the Town-hell. the Chapter have thought fit to issue a pamphlet protasis," to " set forward, In • clear and simple *haps, the history of the eon...duties of the collegiate chum* of Manchester." The completed of mis quotation and inaccuracy against a former emanation from the Chapter, may ales be brought against this, and your committee were owprised that a second publication should Wee from that body, and so little be c intained in it touch lag the real points on which the ease of the parishionen rests, the second pamphlet being In reality, to a great in tent, a repetition of the first, and failing to grapple with the p tra ut y f ing orth a o t n ra t d h m e as part a o u l d y es olL ma aseoLiati of on mea , and al together who could riot, or would not, best the trouble of ob tarlisiurreteurttmelohytprnuitb;:lnOttienntpwiiseses" the ion P of r° th iT e s"" re sl o pes ( th it e io w a ri ort z h 's e col lege the requisite information ter themselves.

The Cnattutax said he wished the tneetiog to bear In mind that he appeared before them on this occasion in the double espadty of one of the churchwardens whom they witted to elect last year, and as predieut of their =oda don. He thought it was due to them that they should have some little further information upon the bill now before par liament than was contained in the report. They had read in the newspapers no doubt that the preamble of that bill was preyed: this afforded them time to come calmly and quietly te the consideration of the clauses during the Easter recess; and he sincerely hoped that the dean and canons would themselves consider those clauses, and endeavour to make the bill as useful es poesible,to the parishioners of Man chester. Those who had read the report of what had occurred in the committee-room, and the speech of their counsel, Mr. Hope, would see that the prineiple that the church revenues of Manchester were parochial revenues was clearly ascertained. In fact, all that was wanted was the decision of some court of law upon that point ; but he thought it must be already clear to every dis passionate mind, that these revenue. were parochial reve nues ; and also, that the cure of souls attaehed to the rector" of the parish, namely, to the dean and canons. (Hear, hear.) In fact, they had felt it their duty, seen at great trouble and expense, to go thorouphly into that question. When his colleague, dr. Morley, and himself, were in Lon don, some time lest December, they celled upon Lord John Resell and ffir George Grey, to ask thee' assistance in obtaining their rights. 11.3 distinctly remembered one of those gentlemen, he forgot which, tellies them that unless they proved their claim to that property in some way or other, be could not give dam his assistance; and that =lee: they could prove that these funds were originally intended to be used for the religion' instruction of the pa rishioners of Manchester, they could only obtain, per haps, as a concession from the chapter what they might tithe:vire claim u a right. Sir Thomas Trafford opposed the preamble of the bill, and his counsel was luau sided to deny the necessity for a division of the parish ; but be, as chairman of the association, was glad to find that they had proved the;' claim, and now stood bef.re the public as parishioners demanding their right', instead of, se was stated when the association was first established, endeavour ing to dep rive . others of their property. By. r y t hi ng h a d been earned ;on In the committee-room, he was happy to say, as pleasantly as could have been expected. Mr. C. B. COWLZT, C.E. moved that the report be adopted and printed f.r circulation by the committee. H. hoped the proposed re-election of the present churchwardens would be supported, because it was note airy, in the pre- sent position of the bill, to allow no relaxe'ion in their exer tions to procure the passing of the bill.

Roomer GARDNER, E•q., seconded the motion. The motion was carried unanimously. I think there is not much doubt that the retiring church. wardens this Easter will be re-I heed to ethos by a large majority, after having so t bly performed the arduous duties imposed upon them by the parish, as set forth in the state ments at the above meeting; and they are certainly entitled to much credit for the sprit in st hick they have l ursued a very disagreeable task. The factory operative, had a meeting last night, at which it come out that my L mei Ashley—innocently enou,h, per haps was the caw. of all the unseemly proceedings arnekst the leaders and delegates of the people here, which led to the late divisions. H•s lordship, atter the first del.. gate meeting, on the 17th February, at whith L John Manners and Mr. Stakes were wade hie coodjut-re, to prevent, as it was delicately urged, all fear of his beaut ies," wrote to say bow his feelings had been hurt. He very naturally addressed the letter to one of the Monchester central short time committee—a body with whom he had long been in communication on this agitation. And by this act be placed that body in a very delicate and trying position. They, at the very end of the delegate meeting whose act his lordship had taken so unkindly, had resigned their cffice. It had been resigned as on former occasions, pro forests., with protesta tions of how burtbensome office w .5, and how aelf•sacrificiog were its cares; but it was not, ss on former occasions, and with the usual flattering compliments, forced back upon them. Their resignation w• a accepted, and a new principle laid down for the elec•ion of their succea-ors, to be carried out at a subsequent meeting. I say nothing of the justice of this to cards men who, to say the least of them, have worked hard in the rause of the factory operatives ; I am now merely Metier; the substance of what came out in the meeting last night, which discussed these grievances at great b urn. Well, the es committee, on t►a receipt of Lord Ashley's letter, instead of writing back to say, " My Lord, we have no power ; we are sorry for your lor.ship, hut, in the language of the Moor, we feel that 'Othello's occupation's gore ' "—instead of doing this, they remssumed the reins of effice, and convened the delegate meeting of Feb. 24, reported in the Daily News, and puled a resolution making Lord Ashley than leader, in a form more soothing and satisfactory to his lord ship's feelings. Such is the substance of the revelations made at a public meeting last nageit—a meeting heed melee* five delegates tothe new central short time committee, which, in accordance with the resolutions passed at the meeting where the old short-time committee rcsigue.i, is to consist of five Manchester delegates and two dslsgate• from each of the other large factory towns. One thing which gave piquancy and timer to the disclaims made at Otis meeting was the declaration mods by a friend of thel'old committee, that, having reassumed their office, they did not mean to resign spin, or be de posed, what.ver the operatives might say to toe contrary. And then a worktng man from Stock port observed that they found themselves in a similar position there ; they had a short time committee, elected nobody knew how or when, but who pertihoci. usly refused to resign! The whole of these iquatebles have arisen out of a determination on the port of the central short time committee to please Lord Ashley at wh never cost, and out of a very natural disp anion amongst the e piratives to assert that " much vexed " principle which tear led to more serious struggles In the body pt•htic of empires tt an 1: likely to do here amonot a tow operatives—that where there is taxation there should he representation. The country district., it seems, have been sue plting the " sinews of war " to the Msuebeste•r short time committee, and have at length deism d t r have a voice in the spending of their own mules. It cir.siely appears rather despntic on the port or the committee to deny them such a reasonable request. The first meeting of tne new committee et 1U be on Good Friday. REWARDS TO IREMEN. --Yeeterd ty afternoon Mr. Coroewall Lewis was wsited upon at the Home.coMee by • deputation of officers of the parishes of 8.. Gorge-thei Martyr, Southweek, Bermondsey, St. Beihowee, Christ church, Spitalfields, St. Audrew's, and Sr. George'., Hol born, St. Luke, St. Pancres,aud Marylebone, who presented a memorial requesting the interference of the go,, rnment to prevent the unnecessary expense tw which ire ratepayers were put by the present Fyne m of rewards •it the keeper e et the engines which were cello! to a fire. The memorial urged that the act 14th George 111. empowered the parochial M etes to provide parish engines, and the 76th it °hos of that act provided " that the keeper of such parish motion as should arrive earliest at a tire should receive 304., the second 205., and the third 10s., and the turntock should receive 10s., such reward to be paid by the churchwardens or over seers, with the consent of one or ISt rejuricts of the peace." At the time of the pawing of this act there were but few insurance corapauies, aad consequently , t was eminently use ful to its operations ; but nsets a great number of kiluraste companies *slat who are de. ply interested in the protection of prperty, and the r.tepayers ought now to be relieved from the burden of pa) Mg tht se rewards. The insurance companies p• remit their paid senior to claim th.se rewards, and their dresses are gem rally in atteuelance before the pariah engines keepers. Toe als.de of the act 14th George 111., except 'hat section re Amiss to tire engines, had beta repealed by the act 7th and lith aad it was humbly submitted that the remaining secion ought to be repealed also. &rend of etc members of the deputation urged at length the evils arising from the present iyetem. In • mae eases th • parties whose Fermis. s suil.,red injury repaid then rewards to the perish ; but in poor localities the burden fell upon the ratepayers generally : and even though the See might be only in a chimney, ot of so slight a nature at to do only a few shillings mirth of damage. it was sue to cost the pirish 31. or 41. The average of Mee payments, taken for five years, showed that the perish of Marylebone raid 3001. year ly in rewards; Ber•noodsey, 671 ; St. runes, 231.; at. Georges, B,•uthwark, 481.
