Monday evening, a meeting was held at the Brewer's Anns, in Kirk gate, to make a subscription in aid of those who are suffering from the strike at Ashton, Stayley Bridge, 'cc. Mr. John Wats was called to the chair. Messrs. Grundy and Slater, two delegates from Ashton, wen present, and entered into detail! respecting the wretched system of oppression exercised by the masters over their workmen. They stated that about twenty thousand individuals laboured under the effects of the strike. Fifty.two masters in the cotton district had cont. bitted and , eutarod into a bond of five hundred pounds each, to compel disk respective hands to submit to any mike-1 tion propose& bg any one of the fifty-two. The masters had made a cal. eulation on the hob of the National Union, and they expected, by throwing all tlit werkanen on its tenure,* at ones, to crulkit in its in. fan* decreaselted IMI exlherfore, propeeni.a sedans* which would make aknelt man 'a earnings of as. pee week.. Many affect lag instances Mere adduced by the delegates, of the starving an& dia. nand state of the working claws in Ashton and its vicinity. It was stated that whatever subscriptions were contributed, would be an nounced in the newspapers of the National Association, the " Voice of the People." A committee of eleven was appointed to manage the subscriptions. it another part of this day's paper we have given at length the par ticulars of the decision of the Court of King's Bench, in the cause be tween the Hull Dock Company and the Mr and Calder Company res. paling the freenavigation to the port of Goole The judgment of Lord Tenterdon was clear and decisive. The result, it will be seen, is, that the Hull Dock Company are not entitled to any dues on vessels salmi into the post of Goole.

When be wants to pay his shoe-bill, It is to come in to him to be discharged in his shop by truck ; if the tradesman is net willing to comply with this, he goes to the low court, and take" the pow man's goods away, or himself to prison. Some of the mosefactmem boast that their shop makes them five hundred pounds a-year.

We give in sertion to part of it with peat pleasure " There can be no goals curse betel a country than that it should be reduced to a state, in which the virtue of the peasantry is under mined by the destruction at that self-esteem, and honest, industrious, and manly pride, which makes a peasant prefer his own exertions to any other mode of obtaining a subsistence. Unless such are his feelings, the country which be its can never become (or never remain) a great country. The greatness of a Gooney does not consist In the ex tent of its empire, nor even in the knowledge and publicity of useful and oenamental arts; such things may be amongst the proofs of its greatness, but they are not its cause; nor by them alone can a nation always hope to remain great.

It is with the deepest sorrow that we further declare, but we verily believe, that the slaves in the West Indies are not so much oppressed as we are. We admit that they are literally bond.alaves, while we bear the proud appel. latlon of free people; but, in fact, the toil and suffering we endut e in order to procure a pittance which, after all, only makes lite meetable, impresses on our minds this conviction—that if the sufferings of the two parties wete put into an even Want!, we should soon find whethet those of the bond or the free would preponderate. Nay. it would apii,-,ir to be the alto of the men in power, and their partisans, to use all their ingenuity to take away from the industrious classes the means by oh eh Providence has declared man shall be able to provide his food. In conclusion, we are axious to impress upon. the minds of our know countrymen, that it is not with flesh and blood we contend, but with bad principles only—principles which have destroyed our domestic contfort —principles which have a tendency to destroy every patriotic feeling —which render the heart eatlous to every affectionate endearment, by deprivitig us hf that time and opportunity which should be devoted to mutual improvement—in short, principles that are destructive to , the whole social compact, to which reason and religion arc alike op posed.
