I From the Glasgow Chronirk of Tunday.l Yesterday an Aggregate Meeting of the Associated waren tif Calton, was held in the Relief Meeting-house, in this Borough. Mr. Jones Artlinsteow. of James-atreet, *as celled to the Chair, and opened the Meeting by saying. that it was with feelings the highest interest that he rote to address SO numerous and re spectable a body of his fellovronsdeenten. The object of the Meet ing was one of the first impotence, and demanded their most @c rimes attention. The object *es to impress upon the minds of all the members of the Association the necessity of standing firmly by, and strictly adhering to, the articles which they had agreed to. In comparing the situation in which they were now placm.l, with that in which they stood about twelve months ngo,the contrast was striking indeed. For a long time their suffloings were unparalleled in the atonal, of civilised society. They durst do nothing to better their canatlitiosn. 'rite combination hoes, like magic spell, bound them down to horrid misery. fly taking advantage of t h ese partial and disgraceful acts, the-moues reduced their wages to the merest pittance which human nature could bear. It was then no uncono mon thing to see stuck upon the corners of the walls, in all parts of the country, handbills offering three napkins for one penny. These bills they looked to with regret, and as so many indications of their own degradation; but they could not help it, though it went to lower them in the estimation of a better provided lie hoped these dark clouds were now dispelled, and that a bettor day was about to dawn. l'he combination laws were now abets: gated, and their prospects were widely different. Let them avail themselves of this boost of the Legislature, and free themselves trona that reproach, contempt, and misery, which is ever consequent upon poverty. Let them hmily act upon the principles which they lad laid down—let their proceedings be open, free, and candid. Let them persevere, for what would ate public think of them if they should, after tile public profession of principle which they had made, like a host of unorganized savages, basely fly at the first brush of opptoition? No, they would not desert the path shich honour, virtue, mid interest, all equally point out. By acting eau *Musty and firmly. upon fair, legal, mod constitutional principles, they would be aisle to convince bath their friends and their enemies that they were warthy of those high privileges which the I.egisla. lure had so recently bestowed, and could nut fail eventually to bet ter their condition. (Oreat applause.) 111 r. Jour 31`ftrill said, that during the war the weevers had experienced a variety of fortunes. Owing to circumstances their wages were wintetinies high, anti sometimes reduced to the veriest pittance. They were then taught in the midst nt their sufferings, that all their distresses wire owing to the war, and that if peace should revisit our shores, the bleminge attendant on a state of tran quillity would naturally hollow. to this they were sally disap pointed, and the gi%cn was, that the sudden transition front war to peace had thrown all COMIllaTe into confusion. Whets that cuckoo song would nu longer du to mislead them, they were told that their sufferings were the result of a competition of manufac turers. When they complaineol to their employers, they lamented their state, but declared dint they could not help them. The weavers wire too numerous, and tooter only hope was in a reduction at their numbers. 'That cure lay in their own hands; it was in their own !sower its render it mote difficult to attain the trade. But this was not the ease, as the combination laws were then in force, and by taking any steps to effect this purpose they were liable to he thrown into prison at the will of every petty tymait who chose to put those grinding statutes into operation. At the time the Association was begun, the wages were on the point of being reduced. While other mechanics were making front 2111. to :19e. a week, weatenteould only earu front to 9s. Weavers considered it a benefit to leave their Loins and be come scavengers, that is, Sikes:pets of the streets. lie had seen se vetel in that employment, mod was *wry to think that men who had served an apprenticeship to a regaia trade, should be reduced to such a situation. Labour is the tirst cominiudity in a country, and it was proper that they should put a fair value on the only erni• 'moodily they had at their disposal. If they continued firmly united, they had only to will it , and i t would be done. They would regain that respectability which they possesses! tweary years ago, and be : conic again litchi:et class of tradesmen in Illasigow. ( Applause.) Mr. 1)fr: ssr s: said, the weavers could not beltr their circuit], stances without enhancing the profits of their employers. A striking proof of this waa sou just now with the muter colliers. The off ' ratters, to be sure, had got their wages raised a little, butt they bad I got nothing like the sum that had been put on the mile. Ile I strongly deprecated the howl weft trade, which he considered as highly prejudicisl to both operetiveand manufacturer ; and was pro ceeding with a number of oloseerationt which the Meeting con sidered irrelevant, and. being galled on thorn various qttartent to " conic to the point," lie eat down, declaring he was done when be was interru total. Mr. J. II kuvrir said, as an individual having the welfare ot the Association at beset, belpg conscious of its utility, and expect ing, in morels of time, ell lite benefited by it. he could not help making 3 few observations up% It. Ile cosogratullitedahe Meeting on the repeal of the combination laws—H u se 'woeful restricti o n s which had GO lorg fettered the operative community and deprived then, of the means of exercieing the faculties of their minds and the powers of their bodies to their own advantage, snit were progres sively reducing them to estate of abject poverty, misery, and crime. Never had a poor man a mine favourable opportunity of raising himself front a state of supineness and degradation, and why should it be neglected ? I%'hy should he be backward in bringing his ener gies into exercise along with those of his fellow-tradesmen ? But a short time heel elapsed since they rose in the morning and lay down at night without a hop* of ever being better. when many sighed for means to waft them from the land of their nativity, to climes where better promises were held out. But now they had a standard round which they might rally, anti by mothering to it they in R short time might take their proper station in the world as it:- telligent and deserving operatives. Ile had heard older and better informed men than himself declare that ail the dephosions which hare taken plsce since 1793 might have been in a great lIIVISUre prevented by such a lemon as wu at present under contemplation. There was one cause which &mooted in a powerful manner against them. Many acted as if they invited their torighbours to take their trade from diem, by the easy terms in which apprentices were admit ted. he would ask, has been the conseipence ? Let the number of idle fellows at the corners of the streets hear witness !-- let the calendar of public crimes bear witness ! Only comeatplate the boy of fourteen years of age told that he is a moin. • tree man, and that he is his own t o aster--a piece of education shich has de. strayed the mown!' of thousands, rendering client useless to them_ salve', and a grief to all with whom they were emineeted. In short, he continued, if our trade is in may way beneficial to the coun try, to ourselves, and to our posterity, the best way of preserving it is to have good wielimen, and dose can only he procured by well-regulated apprenticeships. Ile concluded by strongly TCCO4II. mending them to adhere firmly to the rules of the Asoweistion. Mr. 1.1.11.1. A "I strongly deprecated those who censured or mo. Intel soy individuals who differed from dtea respecting the etti. lily of the Association. a stone was dooms into a weaver's window, the cry rose. •"rhere's your pretty Assoeiation now :•' such emiduct was disgraceful, and he begged them to distuuate naloce it to the utmost of their power. . . . . ltlr. Et a: said. he really believed that i: was not the wish of the manufacturers at large that their wages should he so far reduced. Fitr upward. of twenty years all the wealth hail bren going to oar side, and all the poverty to the otlit-r t all tile money palmed into the hands of the few. and all the poverty fell to the bit of the many.

Sr a,—The importance of the scibj e el i s my apo l og y for troubling you with a few observations on the remarks of a " BT- S ANDY in the Morning Herald, of the 27th inst. It is certainly to be conceded, that whilst the public press and the general feeling of parishioners have been loudly expressed aga!nst the attempt of the Clergy alai Lay Impropriators, to exact the sum of two shillings and ninepenee in the pound, the latter have remained silent, anal for this plain reason—that, with the exception of the puny reasoning of a " Hy-Standee' (who, be it observed, does not attempt to justify the principle of this inordinate claim), they are totally unable to adduce any solid or equitable argument in its support. As to the subject not being understood, there is not one in which more has already developed , to spew how deeply the impropriety of the claim is felt, both from research, and every day's experience. When will the supporters of omit venerable and excellent Church Establishment leant wtsclom ? Do they act wisely, either to refer to the original foundation of the claim, or the pe culiar Circumstances under which it is now made? Will tux every true Christian and lover of the Church turn from the inquiry with disgust and lamentation? Will a " By-Standee' endeavour to depreciate the conciliatory and praise -worthy feelings which actuated both Clergy anal parishioners, in concluding by honourable parliamentary arrangement, the disputes which existed on this subject in the parishes of St. Dunstan in the West, anal St. Andrew, Holborn ? If he does, let me tell him that his sentiments are of the most dangerous stud unjustifiable tendency; and that they are out in unison with those of the Right Rev. Diocc'kii of London, the Right Honourable Secretary of State for the Home Deputtnent, and those of numerous Members of both Houses of the Legislature. That a " By-Stander" did not wish such a happy result to take place in those cases is apparent; and also, that no relief is to be carved, front the indefensible line of argument lie has espoused. The fact of acting upon a had or invalid law, a " By- Stander" wishes to convince us, cures its original defect of non-etwolmeno ; and he contends further, that whether enrolled or not, it should now be submitted to. Inch-pen dently of t h e hardship and absurdity of such doctrine, any child would anstrer, that the Constitution of England utterly repudiates the very semblance of the idea. I will go further, and say, that whets a defect in the original in strument upon which a law is supposed to be founded, is discovered, all the Judges in the land cannot, and ought not, to presume it to be' good. If, therefore, the Clergy and Impropriaton flare built their claim upon such a lotion, it may he asked, is the taking from them their ' alleged right under it, to be termed a wresting front them 1 their property ? Anal if tle., Legislature substitutes a fair and equitable provision for them, instead of unjust anal inordinate claims, is such a course to he deemed an attack upon the Church? Or, is it not rather an honourable Ind just interference, to uphold the character of the Church, and promote peace and good will among the parishioners. A " By-Stander" justifies the oppression at this moment exercised in the parish of St. Gregory by St. Paul's, where the parishioners, in addition to the provision made by Parlia ment in the reign of Charles 11., and spin in riot, for the Rector, are visited within comparatively a few years, with the overwhelming weight of Os. ml. in the pound to the min or canons of St. Paul's. Shall resistance in such a case be branded with the epithet of noisy clamour to de prive the Church of its property in London ? Well, however, does a " By-Stander" fear that public in quiry would produce an alteration, and if the alteration should happily take place, it would be termed by him a spoliation of the Church. He fears lest tilted stipends should be granted, as under the Fire Arts, and he would rather leave the matter open to the liberality and justic., of the Clergy and I coproprietor', to take small sums of some and larger of others, as favour, tanner, or resentment might, in the beet of men, sometimes dictate. I leave to you, .Ir. Editor, anal to the public at large, to decide cehether a discreti 111 l of such a nature is not liable to, and is not now actually an alarming abuse and grievance in many parishes. As to compensations to set in and worthy professional men, who assist to the utmost of their talents and abilitiat in the protection of the pariehes, they are but just acknow ledgments to such individuals, who, in the zealous and arduous discharge of their duty, are fully entitled to the reward and approbation of the parishioners ; but what will every man of correct and feeling mind say to the recom mend 3 t ion of a " Hy-Standee' to )fr. nestle), the !micro priator at Alelgate, that if he hs• but nerve enough, anal (mark ye) money enough, he should carry his cause through the Court ; thus setting aside the justice of his cme, and waiving every overture for conciliation and equitable ar rangement. Mr. Kynaston is to have the letter of his bond whatever the tamsequences may be. Surely, after this ad vice there weds strenuous legal assistance' to enable the parishioners to stem the torrent, which must otherwise in gulph them. IVhatever sarcasm a " By-Stander" may throw upon Vestry Resolutions, permit me to ask what other legitimate tootle is there by which the parishioners can express their sentiments as a body ? Is it not the only course which parishes can adopt ? and the Resolutions, if erroneous, are open to censure; and if correct, admit of no fair con ttacliction. BM, Mr. Editor, is not the real object of a" By-Slander" chiefly to revive again the question of compensation to the incumbents of the Fire Act parishes? I strongly anticipate that he is one of that Reverend Body, and as a body, I ant bound to speak of them with the highest respect. The merits of that question, as recently urged before Parliament, for an inerc.ise upon that made in the year ltlo4, stand upon a foundation totally distinct from those of the parishes now more immediately under consideration. The stipends fixed by the Fire Acts, did not include the whole of the emoluments of the incumbents, for which see the state mem laid before Parliament in Ire 10, and although the total receipts of the ineuenbcnta, in some of the small 'parishes, w not considered as more than adequate in the clerical duty performed, or the resources of the earishes. yet such email stipends were only mule use of as a stepping-ateme, to obtain au increase in other parishes where it 010 io •.sly was not required. The object was seen and the attempt was defeated. And surely the proceed ings of a " BpStantler," in upholding the monstrous doc trine be attempts to inculeme, respecting parishes already steering to an coot-mous extent, such as Alilgate. Et. I /lave Hart -street, St. Gregory 'uy St. Paul's, and others, may well be looked upon with great and just alarm. Let him seriously reflect upoo the effects he wishes to produce, and though . he admits that the 'es. 9d. in the pound is too heavy a tax upon the people, vet the tenor of his übsevva. dons goes completely to establish it ; and if he calls upon the I uctimbenta, Bishops, and Parsons, ta open their eyes, 1 humbly and earnestly call upon the parishioners to open theirs. I feel it my imperative fluty to do so, and in that cast I fear not a just result. The remark of an Alderman upon the occasion of the (laer, I s upp ose ) a pplic a tion of the Fire Act Clergy to Parliament, namely, that if the claim to vs. oil. in the pound was relinquished, be would undertake to hiring all the perishes in the city over to agree to pay Is. in the pound, however well meant, was certainly tUuteiltal upon an unjust calculetion. Time has proved it se. lies the demand for Os. 941. in the pound been waked? If it lied, the worthy Alderman might ea about his well-intended object, but until these it war futile. My advice, then, to • " Ify-Stander" is that which, in cf!et he nmonsmends to others—go home, and quietly Mid seriously consider the subject. To get a general and equi table artimpinent„ he %%ill that it is not proper to tell the parishes, as he presumes to do. that 84 to intro priatious, there is no remedy exe.lat by porehave, which must be etworenseell as meaning a purchase upon the value the linpropriatora themselves atfix, upon the principle of the SU. 94. Let a " By. Stander" reflect. that to sup - estii of the LAMBETH VESTRY. Yesterday a Vestry of this parish mut held. pursuant to the fol. lowing printed notice. The vestry was but thinlcat tended !-- " A Vestry hill be held on Friday. the 29th day of October int/. M ten o'clock in the forenoon (exact time), to receive a subentry of report of the accounts and transactions of the Select Vestry for the/ care and management of the concerns of the pone of this parish, agreeably to the provisions of the Nth George 111.

The notice of the meeting having been read, the accounts of the various contracts for supplying the poor weer alio read. A mem. meodation was made that the Solicitor be desired to tlivfie his bill* in future, into dime for parish appeals, and thaw fin:general per. Poen- A report was made of the proceedings at the last meeting of the parishioners respecting Mr. Evans's 1111. Mr. LZT T wished to know whether another bill of Mr. Entail had been preented, which was out stared in the report. Mr. Fat. r. said hr could answer that there wu one of kill. The Chate aux wished to know to what time the new bill al: tended, as it was new to him. 31r. FALL said the hill that had been paid was up to Clvistmrs, and the new one from Chritonias to Michaelmas.

Mr. FALL hoped this report world be the lost spefth of the Vestry; but that was not to he Papeete& Ile complained that there had been an omission in the report of some of the most im portant transactions telagng le Mr. Evaiis's bill.

There were ronAtant blu n at it. A few days • ago a woman came for relief, and was asked by *gentleman— " Hoe old ate you ?" Another, with stentorian voice, called out from the other end or the tarle—" Illow ninny children hate you ?" Thr woman, conflated between both quesdona, answered, '• sixty lire." (Hoses of laughter.) Another gentl eman sol d—." Poor woman, she has a Inge family, give her live shillings." (Tre mendous laughter.) This was the way business was done where two or three were allowed to speak at once.

Ile said. tha; in ills opinion, the Overseers had done right toiler Mr. Evans's bill, though he and all of them condemned the blot itself. Still. if ic hail not been paid, they would have had a law-suit brought against them, and there would hare been ton bills to pay instead of one.

He had no doubt they would receive the an probation Of thri: fellow-parishioneri, to e. - 111ch they were so well entitled. 31u. %V t T.taMsort, late overseer, core elainett that Mr. Evans held hark his bill. He denied that Mr. King was induced to sign that bill ; both he and Mr. King consulted legal opinions on the subject, and then Mr. King signed it. He contended that the re gularity of paying the parish aceountit, induced persons to take their contracts at loner rates than they otherwise Could. Captain Tr ex said, that a majority of sixteen to three of the 7 i. • lent t catty, had derided that the bill should he paid, and why should they %aide time about a thing legally done ty a body del-- gated properly fur that pnriode. 31r. Di ales complained that Mr. Evans *ed. " I hate not Jena with you yet, gnitleutett ; 1 have another bill of 2011:. for vim.' A letter was read by the Vestry.elerk, addressed by 31r.
