The proceedings in Parliament, and the other matters embraced by the pamphlet, are introduced by a brief temperate address to the working people, by the Clerk of the Committee, and a well-written letter from Mr. Hume, which we shall subjoin, and which we think could hardly fail to make a strong impression on the working cla.i,es generally, but especially those fur' whom it was more particularly intended. " AN' ADDRESS TO THE WORKING PEOPLE DT 'VIZ UNITED KINGDOM. " Having for a considerable time past turned my attention to the laws relating to trade, manufactures, and commerce, particularly to those which more imme diately affect the working man and his employer, I cannot but congratulate you on the proceeJings in Par liament during the Session which has just terminated. By repealing all the laws against combinations of work men to raise their•wages, and to regulate their hours of working, and also by forbidding any proceedings against thoe who may combine for these purposes, either by statute or by the common law, under the pre tence of conspiracy, a most important service has been rende , el both to you and to the community at large. " I shall not at pte;ent inquire whether the Act which repeal, the law against combinations of work men, be, or he not altogether so perfect as it might have been; but I trust that, in its legal construction and purport, its real object will be accomplished, namely, to permit peaceable combinations of all claste• of work-people, and also, of their employers, to pro mote their own interests, and in so doing. the interest of the conittrf, without being liable to legal interrup. lion. The two clauses in the Acr, providing for the Punishment of any act of violence which may arise out of any such combination, were introduced-for the pur pose of quieting tie apprehensions of some persons who feared that the effect of being emancipated from the scourge of the Combination Laws, would cause such a re-action among you, as to require other means than those which the laws had provided for the protection of the masteri and their property from outrage and vio lence. How far such apprehensions are justified, I will not take upon myself to say ; but I do most anxiously hope that, by a moderate and temperate exercise , of your restored rights, yon will leave no room for Any one to condemn the repeal of the laws ; much less that any one of the many respectab!e persons who have most disinterestedly and laboriously exerted themselves in your behalf, should, in consequence of any nri_c6nduct of yours, be compelled to regret their efforts to set ve you. " The repeal of the laws against combinations of um kitten, hats not been the woe k of any party; his Majesty's Ministers, as well as those Members in both I louses of Parliament, who are generally opposed to them, have concurred in this measure; and it Would indeed - 4,111 becarrire yOu, as it would be hurtful to your 1111616 W, ele• you to afford those illiberal and selfish persons who would have held you still in slavery, the opportunity °flaying that they knew you best, and how yriu ought. to bi ruled, when they _opposed the repeal of the Combination Laws. " I'am your well-wisher, " GEORGE WRITE, Ckrk to the Conondttee, and Agent for " London. July 30, 1524. Parliamentary Business." LETTER FltObl JOSEPH HUME, ESQ. M.P. TO MR. JOHN EDMONSTONE, CHAIRMAN OF TIIE COMMITTEE OF OPERATIVE WEAVERS OF GLASOOW. " lkyanstone-square, London, Sept. 14, 18•24. " Sin—l was only yesterday favoured with your let ter of the 7th inst. and, as you request to know my sentiments, after an attentive consideration of the state ments contained in your letter, I lose no time to comply with your request. do not intend to express the least doubt of the correctness of the statement of suffering which the operative weavers have so long borne, nor do I dispute the statement which , yeur letter just received contains ; but I would attribute the low wages to sortie other causes than those which you have assigned ; and it may be from our differing as to the causes, that we differ as to the remedy. " I believe that tie first lowering of weavers' and other wages, was an act, on the part of the masters, of necessity ; and that the combination laws, together with a surplus of workmen have prevented you from obtain ing that fair rise which ought to have taken plate in the changed state of our inneufactories. It would have been unreasonable to expect that effects, arising from these united and long continued causes, should all at once have been removed by the removal of only one of the causes ; but I did expect that great benefit would be derived by the operatives being at liberty t o protect themselves against the acts•of the very few masters who had availed themselves of the power which the coatbi nation laws gave them. " I still do expect, that great benefit will be de rived by the repeal of the combination laws, if the imprudent Conduct of the operatives . do not.urge the masteri 'to obtain a renewal of the power they formerly had to oppress. “In,mlitnj parts of the country an increase of wages has taken place, and a better feeling between masters and min as beettgradually taking place; but I can scarcely antioi*to such, results from the course the operatives,in pr we vc A re following. " You arenOy,m, i skuation to work on your own terms, or to remain idle if you please; and you may, at a public or private meeting, come to tesolutions that you, who are present, and as many others as may agree in opinion with you, will not work at lower rates than you may fix upon ; and you may, farther, publish such a table of rates, and awe resolutions you may come to, , to abide hy them. I consider the power of doing so to be very important, and sufficient to answer your pur pose, as far as by such means you can do so. But to proscribe Mr. Hutchison,, or any other master, and forbid others to work for him, you are guilty of an of . fence contemplated in the sth and)6th ,sections of the Act, as (rioted in the Glasgow Free Press of the 7th inst. It does not appear necessatsy for ;you actoally to kit violent hands, or to threaten individuals with pets:total violence, who might be dispose) to work for Mr. Hut chison; the publication of his name, as you have done, would,. 1 fear,,:, be held sufficient by the Justices, in ' many parts of the country, to bring you under the lash of the law. "If Mr. Hutchison pays 6id. fat work, for hick other manufaatirers pay 7d. or fids, you mat obtain ,your object 4.,publlcly declaring that you will .not 'work under 7d. or • Bd. for any reran—land you will be safe in doing so. " In the 'competition that exists amongst masters in every line of business, you most expect that every one will extend his business by holding out inducements to. his customers as much as possible, by•reducing the prices of his goods ;and that reduction may be effected by the command of capital, making lower purchases of the raw material, or by better and improved machinery, and by reduction of wages. It is desirable for our fo reign commerce, that all these should be attended to by manufacturers; and it must be evident to you, that as the consumers will buy the cheapest articles of equal quality, so- will the masters buy the cheapest labour they can purchase. if there ate moie'cloths made than' the demand will take away at fair prices, the competi tion of the masters to get rid of their goods, will reduce the prices, as we have seen often, to make them for a time to sell at a great loss. It, in the same way, there is more labour to be sold than the masters . ate disposed or able to purchase at the ordinary rates, ', ' the labourers, in order to exist, must coral etc an.l tar their labour at prices that will scarcely support them under the greatest privations. Both of these supposed cases are ruinous for the patties, but the semedies are not equally easy for both. The master may, and will immediately cease to manufacture o hat he cannot sell to a profit ; but the labourers cannot cease to ear, and will take brown if they cannot get ft/tile bread, and must suffer long and great privation until the nonther of hands are somewhat equal to the work to be doire.- I endeavour to make myself understood by the compa rison I have made, and by that, I think, it appeal that the change in the situation of the opera:lies, which you expect to take place, cannot be forced in the way. you ate attemritag. As I consider the spirit of ensure.' tition that exists amongst the met chants in the London, market to be the best means of improving your situa ;ion, I cannot agree with you that it should be put down. On the contrary, 1 ant confident, that if the spit it of competition was put down, and the trade kept in the hands of a few hou.es, it would then be in the you Cr of the toasters, as is now the case in the type tounder apd other trades in London*, to agree ambngst each other, and fix your wages at their own rate. " You seem to be aware that the numbers of your trade are too great to admit of all obtaining a pope' livelihood, and you are very right to adopt such area; sores as you can for preventing a farther increase;' but if you will apply the principle which you adrret, properly to your own situation, I leel confident that yo u will not think it possible, by the steps you have taken respecting Mr. Hutchison, to obtain your object. " In geniral, 1 think the hours of labour of the ope ratives are too many, and the wages too low ; but it will require time, under the operation of a flee market for labour, to hi ing these round to their proper level ; and I would urge you not to attempt to force b'y violent means, what you can only obtain by acting steadily on the principles I have endeavoured to explain. You re quest me not to desert you in your efforts to improve your situation, which I most certainly shall not do. And all' I ask of you is, not to desett yourselves by mea. sores that all your friends will not be able t 6 counteract. I have candidly, and, I hope, cleat ly stated my opinions. " 1 am, your obedient servant, "JOSEPH HUME." THE SUN.

A curious scene has been exhibited at a meeting of the Galway branch of the List) Bible Society, held last week. flit. Grace the Archbishop of T tram took the Chair, and two Clergymen, supporters of the Institu tion, were heard in commendation and furtherance of its object. A Roman Catholic Clergyman, named Daly, now presented himself, but the Archbishop pe remptorily refused to hear from him a word—clamour and confusion of course ensued. A motion was made to remove the Archbishop from the Chair, which he re fused to put, but at last abdicated and retreated, and the place of meeting was surrounded by a military force of the 10th Hussars. The assembly, however, I did not disperse—the Chair was taken by a Protestant Barrister, and several Resolutions, moved by Protestant Gentlemen, were put and carried.—These Resolutions were, in substance, condemnatory of the Right Rev.

One of his,sons was employed at this time in 'finishing . the Statue. After. tognaaming here a short time, he .complained of being somewhat cold ; on which the„saio'proposed, at no one could over. look thorn, that he shotild put on, as a kind of tem porary spencer, an old, "torn, green shag waistcoat, with a red stuff back, which had been l e ft there by one of the woe kmen.

The porter of the Bankers, it wi;l he recollected, was, in going through the City towards the West-end, robbed of the parcel, which was cut out of his coat-pocket by some fellows who Intidcl followed hint a considerable way. One person pressed against idea two or three times, and disappeared at the corner of Slit hl-lane, when the portet missed;the parcel. A journeyman baker stated, th it he was about the time of the• robbery standing in Shoe-bne, talking to a friend. Ile observed the two prisoners, whom he knew, and a person whom he did not know, conic quickly down.the lane, and turn sharply round the corner of a court.

Tuesday evening two soldier! werelsroitglit to this Officeyfollowed by an immense crowd of peepte„thargedakith a very groSs outrage that evening, in Weels.tetreto, Dttr pane. • • The netneit of the pri soners were Allesanikr IlummicanA Mite/dl, the former a pri vate in the 2d hattahon of the Ist Foot Guards, and the latter in the 7th Fusileera. They were both in a state of intoxication, but not so much so as to seem utn:onzclotis of what they were doing. The complainant was an Wetly woman, who seemed, independ ently of the consequences of Cie violence she had just received, to be in extremely delicate health. 1 ler name is Alary Clarke, and she is the wife of a hair-dresser iu Ivy-lane, she and her daughter carrying on business as bonnet-malters, in a small way, at No. 52, Wych.etreet. The case was about to be gone into, when Mr. II Ur r.s, perceiving that Mrs. Clarke was :lrch agit,it-d, and that the soldiers were hardly in a fit state to he examined, ordered them to be taken to the watch-house forthr night. Yesterday the soldiers were again brought up, when it appeared, by the evidence of Mrs. Clarke, her daughter, Mr. John Marshall, clerk to a Solicitor in King's Arms-yard, Coleman -street, Langfield, a coastable, and other witnesses, that about half-past six o'clock on Tuesday treating, the defoliants, and a third stUier, were walking down Wyeli-street, arm in arm, keepi n g the whole of the loot. pavemem to themselves, and %Otto th-y attired oppo-ite Mrs. Clarke's little shop wildow, two of them pushed the third against it, and broke a pane of glass. Mrs: Clarke very naturally ran out, and telling them that they had broken her window, desired that they would pay her for it. Instead of doing so, however, they abused her in terms the most abominahle: They followed her up to the dour, to M Lich she retreated in the apprehension of some per sonal violence, and she then said tremblingly," Well, Gentlemen, if you will not pay for it, go quietly about your business." " 0 you b—y old b—," said Mitchell, " I'll pay fur thew isidow," and instantly he struck her a violent blow on the temple, which fenced the back part of her head against the wall and stunned her, and even struck her while she was leaning in a aviaries.: state against the wall. By this time a large crowd had collected, and Langfield, the constable, coming up, he and Mr. Marshall seized Mitchell, and endeavoured to secure him; but he slipped from them, knocked Langfitld down, and very neatly served Mr. Marshall the same. Mrs. Clarke's daughter, in her feeble endeavours to protect her mother, was threatened by the prisoners with the sane: treatment. The whole three at length forced their way into Ales. Clarke's shop, where they broke three more panes of glass, and threw some' of her little stock' in trade upon the floor, and trampled span lt. They were at length with great difficulty secured. Mitchell, who had fallen among the broken glass in the shop, and cut his lace slightly, upon discovering the hurt he had received, sat down its a chair, and cried for some minutes. The third soldier escaped. Mitchell, in his defence, said he believed he broke the window, and was willing to pay for it on the spot, but when searching in his pocket for his money, be found that he had been rubbed somehow or other in the crowd. Mrs. Clarke, he added, hung about his neck so tightly that be was obliged to push her away. Ramsey said be bad no share in the matter from beginning to end, further than endeavouring to get Mitchell away. He did not assault anybody, nor break any glass. Mr. Marshall declared that Ramsay was, during the whole time, extremely violent, and that he endeavoured to rescue Mitchell after lts was in custody. Mr. HALLS said, that this was as grow a case as he had heard of fors long time. The worthy Alagistrate then ordered them to be taken to prison, and directed the parties to go immediately to the Sessions then sitting and indict them. Mistress Mervin then stood forward, and a very 10,11.141 e person she wrs, no doubt. A brood, muscular front, a hand and arm that would have done honour to a Clsibb ; a face bronzed by the combined effects of gin and weather, with a finely mezzotinted orb, and a few latent marks of &tie contention, gave a tout ensemble, not. of a'pectiliarly delicate character. Mistress liarrogan seemed fully .gifted with the usual woman's weapons, and certainly made a most 'able defence. Witness's were called to prove, not the actor! killing of the complainant, but the actual assault committed ; which, h..w_ ever, not being satisfactorily sustained, the Magistrate clisosi; s A d ie 'warrant.—Cosnpialaant: Then I'll go to the other Judge, and if I was to strip every stitch of clothes off my back zed o sisked, 1.1 have justice, and bang her as she deserves.

A STRANGE STORY.—The gaoler of Bristol prison some days ago ascertained, from a person confined there for robbery, that there was a coiner in Birmingham, whose indo•try and talent were procuring for him con ,iderable stints a money. Anxious ; to give a proof 61 . his viijince, the gaper', prevailed . Upon the prisoner to ' give an exact description of the place in which this mal pract'ce Iva carried ur. .A complete labyrinth was described, but the prisentr, feurn long service in the trade, was posse iced of the elite, - ands* accurately de tailed the w haling' and cenipliCated passes, .s,s hich led to the penetralia of the coiner, that an attempt to ap prehend the offender was determined upon. The gaoler took with lint an active and daring officer to Dirs . mingharn, and proceeded in the dead of night to the . spot. The coiner wai haid at w o rk at the moareat those two tremendous visitors pounced upon him. AU the apparatus lay befOre him, and his binds were black with quit ksilver. Ah," said lie, " (gentlemen, I'm your prisoner. I have been sold, and it's all.uver with me I see." H i r appeared quite chopfallen, but after little while became iesigned to the ,fate which he said awaited him. The gaoler spoke as kindly to him, as he could under the apparently inevitable danger in which his prisoner was placed, and said that white there was life there was hope. " Alas, there is do 'tope for me— what can be clearer than my misfortune?" this Me lancholy strain called lath a few more c , n.solatory eb set vations, and the gaoler informed his prisoner that the hour was late, and they must all depart together. Yes," said the coiner: " just wash this wicked stuff off my hands, and accompany you." He then walked over to the wash-hand-basin, which stood in a corner of the room, stamped upon the floor, and•sud denly disappeared through a trap-door. The gaoler and his companion In an instant jumyed upon the trap-dcor, which closed the moment the descent was made, re solved to van aft hazards rather than lose their object. The coiner was, however, too clever a fellow not to se cure hiMself a little better than was expected. The trap-door was immovable. The disappointed gaoler called out to the fugitive, who only answered in the words of the poet, " Adieu, adieu, remember me." The gaoler pulled out his pistols, told the " scoundrel" he should not escape in that manner, and ran to the room door with a determination to catch lam in the lower room, with the entrance to which he had been made acquainted. Here, too, he was at fault ; the door was locked, and lie and his companion were in their aura the coiner's prisoners. After bawling and roaring for a considerable time, during - which • preparations were made below stairs for depakture, they began to pull at - the leek, whicli resisted aU their efforts. They then rested for a while; and upon resuming their labour, both tumbled down, the door flying suddenly open. The coiner very humanely resolved not to detain them longer than his necessity required, and sent a messenger to unlock the door. After an ineffectual search, the BriStal adventurer returned, astonished and exasperated. • BIRTH. 4t North. Runeton, Norfolk, on the 24th in*. lady Nutlet Coney, of a oe. • • MARRIED.
