(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) (Before Vice• Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) LOD:"..E V. NICHOLSON AND oTnEns. This suit was instituted by the plaintit; as adminis tratrix of Mrs. Batham, against the executors o*Mr. Baker, who, during his life, had acted as her agent for receiving certain rents and dividends of stock. The object of the suit was to obtain the re-investment of a stun in the Thr: , e-and-e-Half per Cents.. equivalent to a sum of 95C1. .I , :avy Five per Cents., which it WaS alleged Baker had transferred to his own name, without the consent of Mrs. Latham, to have the arrears of the dividends paid. • - His HONOUR, in delivering judgment, said, in this eau: e Baiter, a trade:enan resident in London, acted us the agent of certain friends of his, named Bathani, of the saute class of life as himself, and residing in the county of Hereford. Among other things, in 1810 a power of attorney appeared to have been executed by Batharn for the purpose of Baker receiving the divi dends of certain stock, which was acknowledged to be long to Bedlam, an standing in the name of the person whom he represented. There was added to that power of attorney an authority, which certainly mast have been with the perfect knowledge of Batham, to Baker, not simply to transfer the general moiety of the stock, but what appeared somewhat singular, to trarsfer it in his own name. Why that was done did not appear. There was nu evidence whatever that there was any con sideration fur such transfer ; no evidence of a contract for it, nor that it was intended by way of gift. Now, when he found Baker a g reeing to pay to Mrs. Batham the dividend s on the whole sum, as he had pre vious to the transfer, and not referring to the authority given in the power of attorney, but to an authority in his own strong-box for that purpose, which he miver pro duced, the inference was unavoidable, that the atioiety of the stuck which Baker transferred in his own name, was so transferred as not to be in equity a change on the pro perty; and his °Honour's opinion was, thnt Bak m, at his deuth, remained inde 7 )ted in that moiety to the estate of Batham. The decree ;hen to ha made in the cause would declare that Baker at his death, was indebted:to. Batam's estate in the sum of 262 L 10s. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. ; and that the executors of Baker shall L*i bound to transfer in the plaintiff's name that sum, with the divi dends which had accrued on it since the death od' Baker, un account to ba taken if the parties differed. With respect to the question of costs, his Honour saw no rea- eon for departing front the general rule, which Klirected that a creditor, successfally suing an estate, however properly the executors might resist the demand., should be paid his costs. Some other cases wholly devoid of interest were dis posed of, and the CUil rt rose at four o'clock. ,(Before Vice-Chancellor %IrianAm.) RAINE V. CADIES.

GLOBE.—The Times yesterday devoted a long article to enforce upon the country gentlemen of its party the duty of feasting. Eathig and drinling to repletion have been found, it seems, most excellent auxiliaries to Toryism. It is now reared by certain gourmands, that having effected the main purpose for which they were employed, Conservative festivals are in danger of falling into disuse. " These admirable fes tivals must on no account be relinquished," is not only the friendly admonition of the Tin:; s, but the fond hope of many a ranipaut Tory, who win wont to be favoured with a ticket at the Tury candidate's or Member's cost— es the price of his sweet voice at the poll, and his voci ferous cheers when the party toasts were announced from the chair, after the removal of the cloth from the din- Le: table, taking special care not to be betrayed into any un-Toryfied expression of loyalty to the Sovereign on the proposal of " her Majesty's health," should it Le deemed rather " too bad" to shirk that time-honoured compliment to the Sovereign,by " Church and Queen," the new-fangled form which is now extensively used on such occasions. The Times evinces considerable tact in thus drawing attention to the influence of the stomach on the principles, or, rather, the voles, of its party. Th. Tories are universally good feeders. The disposition evince l by the " respectables" of the party to barter their suffrages for soup, and their consciences for claret, has a due and appropriate influence upon those who occupy a lower place in the scale of society. STANDARD.—The Morning Chronicle perseveres with commendable as,,idulty, if its case were a good one, in the Anti-Corn-lain controversy. The state of deser tion in which our respected Contemporary stands seems rather to animate the:: to subdue its zeal, and day attar day it pours out its closely-packed columns, under the disheartening testimonies from all sides that its labours are but moderately approved of, or, worse, that they are net read. It is an hapression of the latter kind which forbids our reply to the Morning Chronicle as often as we could wish. This disheartening fear, that one writes for a thankless public, that will not even con descend to the perusal of what has been written, has been, at least since the days of Persius—" Quip leget pace ?

ROLLS' COURT, Nov 16. ATTORNE it-GENERAL V. THE SOUTH SEA COMPANY. This was an information, filed by the Attorney-Ge neral, at the instance of the Charity Commissioners, against the South Sea Company and others, for the reco very of certain property that had been alienated by the trustees of a charity. The case was partly heard yesterday. Mr. TURNER (with whom was Mr. Blunt) stated that, by an indenture, bearing date Oct. 31, 1667, the property in question, which consisted of eight Ines. suages in Hammond's-alley, near Bishopsgate-street, was conveyed by Margaret Taylor, widow, to Matthew Smallwood and others on trust, subject to certain life estates, for the poor of the parish, and for the mainte nance and education of poor children chargeable thereto. The deed contained a power for the appoint ment of new trustees, in case of vacancy, and the last appointment under it took place on the 16th of Novem ber, 1821, when the trust of the property became vested in Mr. Ellis, and other defendants on the record. It appeared, that from time to time several parish meet ings had been holden, at which orders had been made for the repairs of the property, and also, that at tnese meetings propositions for building upon it, and for leasing it, had been entertained, none of which had been carried into effect ; but at a parish meeting held on the 11th of March, 1723-4, a gentleman named Gore, alleged. to be one of the trustees of the property, in formed the vestry that the South Sea Company were willing to take a lease of all the premises at the yearly rent of 45/., to be paid half-yearly, clear of all taxes, for the term of 999 years, commencing at Lady-day 1725, and the vestry agreed to the proposal; and Mr. Gore and other persons were desired to conclude the affair, and the churchwardens were instructed to give the necessary notices to quit to the tenants. On the 10th of April following- new trustees were appointed, and a lease was granted on the 27th of March, 1725, by them and the churchwardens to the South Sea Com pany, pursuant to the above resolution, by which, in con sideration of 1351. paid to the churchwardens by the Company, being three years rent, they demised the premises in question, for the above term of 999 years, with power to pull down and erect new buildings, pay ing for the first three years the rent of a pepper corn, and for the remainder of the term the clear yearly rent of 451., with the usual covenants. It appeared that at the time when it was proposed to grant this lease the property was let at rents amounting to 771 a-year, and that in the year 1723, when it was repaired, pursuant to an order of the vestry, the rents amounted to 81/., and it also ap peared from an entry in their minute-book, of the 11th March, 1723, that the South Sea Company were aware of these circumstances. Some years after this convey ance was made, Mr. Gore, who had built a house adjoin ing this property, effected an arrangement with the Com pany for a certain portion of it, and , a deed was ex ecuted on the 15th March, 1755, by which the Company demised to Mr. Gore, a small portion of the property for 968 years, in consideration of a portion of freehold land in his possession, and on Ist August, 1759, another con veyance was made between the same parties, by which threc- feet four inches more of the same pro perty was conveyed to Mr. Gore without con sideration. In February, 1762, Mr. Gore assigned the property comprised in these conveyances to a Mr. I Mellish, from whom it descended to Mr. Mellish, one of the present defendants. Against the tenants, Irving. Lewis, and Smith, it did not appear that any case could be made out as holding the property of the Charity, but 1 as against the complainants and Mr. Mellish he contended that there was a clear case. Supposing the rent paid by them was the best that at the time could be had for the property, he apprehended that would not be sufficient to entitle the Company to retain the lease, since an alteration had taken place in the value of property, and the Court would not suffer the charity to be deprived of the bene fit that might accrue from this alteration; and alienation for the term of 999 years, was, of course, an entire alienation of the property. The Learned Gentleman then cited the Attorney-General v. Bray, 3 Bevan, 91; Same v. Green, 6 Vesey, 452; and Same v. Owen, 10 Vesey, 555. Tho principle of the Court was, that alienation el charity property for the term of 999 years, at a fixed rent, could not be main tained ; and if special circumstances were necessary to enforce it, they were not wanting in the present case. He understood it would be said on the other side, that, in consequence of deductions from it, the clear rent did not exceed on the average 22/. ; but his Lordship would find that calculation was made on the ten years preceding the date of the lease, when the charges for repairs were very great. As to Mr. Mellish, it appeared that a cer tain portion of the property had been alienated—one portion by exchange, and the other by voluntary grant. This alienation was made to Mr. Gore. who was a trustee of the charity, and the deeds recited that it was cha ritable property. The assignment to Mr. Mellish also recited the same facts ; and therefore the same rule was applicable to him as to the South Sea Company. Under these circumstances, he submitted the lease of 1725 ought to be set aside, anti the property restored to the charity, with rent, for such time as his Lordship should think proper. Mr. PEMBERTDN inquired whether it was proposed to make inquiry as to the expenditure of the lessees, and to make allowance to them for it. Mr. TURNER said it was for the lessees to make out the compensation they were entitled to. Mr. TINNEY (with whom was Mr. Herbert and Mr. Bosanquet), appeared. for the South Sea Company, and said he hoped for *very different result from that so confidently predicted on the other side. The situation in which he stood was ae—very etrrinus one. Ile appeared nominally fur the South Sea Company, but much more substantially for the Attorney-General and for the public. Ilis Lordship would remember that when the case came on originally he had shown that the Company had not a shadow of interest in this property. By the 55th Geo. 3, ch. 57, the Company were deprived of all power of trading, and by that Act a largess fund was to be accumulated and handed over by them to the Government, who guaran teed them 3 per cent. upon the capital, with power, in case of deduction from it, to go to the Treasury per anno in annum to make it good. Therefore, if the Company were called upon to repay any portion of these rents, the Treasury would have to pay them a larger sum than they would otherwise receive, which would be thus taken from the public and given to this parish. On that oc casion he had also suggested that the Attorney-General might see that it was impossible that any benefit could be derived to the charity by the prosecution of this suit. The Solicitor-General then declined to stay proceedings, but ho did not know that it was absolutely necessary that the present Attorney-Ge neral might not take a different view of the mat ter. That, however, was fur his Lordship's considera tion. To the principle stated by Mr. Turner, that it it must be shown that no possible loss could be sus tained by alienation by trustees to render it valid, he was inclined to accede, but when he said that it must be shown to be beneficial, he replied that must be secundum snbjectum materium. Those who executed this lease found that the only way of making that property bene ficial to the charity was to make a grant of it, anti that the South Sea Company were ready to take it on terms which nobody else in existence, at that time, would hare clone, and it was conveyed it to them, as he contended, for the benefit of the charity. The property consisted of nine small houses in a blind alley, surrounded by buildings belonging to the South Sea Company and Mr. Gore, with no entrance except from an alley in Bishops gate-street, about three feet broad, in which two persons could scarcely walk abreast. There was no fund to improve it, and the way in which it was sought to improve it by the testatrix and others was to get nominal rents from the tenants, the duty of repairing it being in the lessor ; and it was found that such was the expense of the repairs and the loss of rents, that from 1714 to 1723, the utmost average rent received from it was 24/. per year. Under these circuit]. stances, it was not desirable for the parish to retain it, of they could get rid of it at a fair price ; and if so, a perpetual rent charge was much preferable to a sum of money. The Company at that time, contemplating to build the South Sea House, proposed to treat fur this property, and their proposal was accepted, the property being leased to them for a term of 999 years. Since a grant to a corporation must be alienation or nothing, he asked whether this arrangement was not beneficial to the property, and whether it was possible to make one more favourable ? He asked whether, if it could be re stored to the charity in its original state, it would not be much less beneficial to the parish than it was now, with a rent charge clear from taxes, and with rates paid in respect of Mr;Mellish's property on the one side, and that of the South Sea Company on the other ? The Only principle on which this suit could be maintained transaction s was that the property, though worthless to the charity, ground s e very beneficial to the Company. Moreover, the that to establish fi•ren ' t times. These with Mr. Mellish were twofold and at dif r-Jese might nind on very different ; one might b I the other bad. Ile con tended,egout. and waspaent than that the transaction there was a this suit it must be shown that id by thebreacho of trust. It was said that no premium It must be remember the trustees had act:lde usaction was beneficial to the charity? Could there be a stronger argu ence of those forthat this was not a case in which Same t their own discretion in the ab- Learned Gentleman whomthen , v tl . ie vv A ar t r t i o 4 r i they were trustees. The 8 bAyth, . j te to Green, 6 Yeses, erse that the 7 a , c ts of tr Attorney -General ewnlieirc Seinea The principle laid ( ti. o% l v l n tu i l i g i c t r h fb es r e d, citses was, r e i s rle s i ho l uld he maintained. were beneficial for the charities d and on authority, He submitted, therefore, on ti)txhecturtnotrl transactions ti this information could not be sustained. Mr. Mellish, Mr. PEMIIEhTON (wi th whom Was 3, o l t .r.ussell), on ons that took contended doe of the that th e devisees dealing and w place so long as a hundred years ago, the Court must deal with them in relation to the eircuntstancee costing at the time the transactions took place.. It wa s not le cessary to establish this transaction to prove th at it :1 beneficial ; it was enough to prove stillielent to enable tic;s Court to pret:ume that it was beneficial. It w azi that the purchaser of property was hound by the, notices in the instrument by which he purcha se d , but he contended that there was no notice that this was charit roptrty in the assignment to Atel y p HA ne e yet in the conveyance - which it recit e d ; for in all these it wits distinctly stated that thi s property, which was designated as ruinous house s , was not charity , but parish property. If there fore the lease to the Company was a breach of if it was not trust, Mr. Mellish had n o notice of it, and t it was not beneficial Mr. Mellish had no notice t be neficial. The Learned Gentleman then urged at consi derable length that the arrangement was ft provident one for the ch ar ity, and complained Strongly that the suit should h ave b een p e rsisted in after th o satisfactory answer put in by the defendants. Mr. LLOYD, and other Learned Gentlemen, appeared for the tenants in possession, and applied for costs against the co-defendants, and submitted that, under the circum stances, his Lordship would depart from the rule, and grant them against the co-tiefre dents through the Attor ney-General. • The MASTER of the ROLLS—I certainly can't do that, though it is quite plain that your clients ought not to have been made co-defendants, and also - that they were continued so after it was discovered that they ought not. Mr. TURNER, in reply, said that it any excuse were ne cessary for his pressing a decree against Mr - . Mellish, he thought it was supplied by the conduct of the Solicitor- General in a former hearing of the case, who then stated, notwithstanding the answers, that it was a case that ought to be prosecuted. It would therefore have been very presumptuous in him to have acted differently. The MASTER of the must set you right on that subject. My recollection is that the Solicitor-Ge neral did not say that it was a case that ought to be pro secuted, but that he was .not satisfied that it was a case that ought not to be prosecuted, and that he thought it required further examination. Mr. TURNER, after some further observations, ad dressed himself to the arguments on the cases cited by the Counsel for the defendants and proceeded. It could never be the doctrine of the Court that Trustees could alienate charity property, and thus deprive it of the advantages that might accrue from im proved value of the property, or that in its neighbour hood, or from other accidental circumstances. These were two points to be considered, the amount of rents and the conduct of the trustees. With respect to the first the inference, from the evidence, was, that at the period of the sale the premises were in a state of repair ; and, with respect t o t ax es on the property, it appeared that in 1721-2 the rent amounted to 102/. 10s., and the taxes to 241. lls. Bd., bearing a net rental of 77/. 18s. 4cl. In 1722-3 the sum received for rent was 801. 103. ; the sum paid for taxes was Isl. 7s. 7d., leaving a clear rental of 61/. 3s. sd. ; and in 1723-4 all that appeared as paid for taxes was 10s. 11d. The value of the pro perty was proved by the evidence of a treaty in 17 20 to grant it t o a p ar ty who was willing to pay a rent of 351. a-year, and to expend 1,500/. upon the property, and that upon a lease for a certain term of 60 years. It had been said that it was of little value, because the charity was built out of it; but, as had been justly stated by his Lordship a right of way to it must have existed. It was said also that the land on which it stood was useless, yet he knew not why dwelling-houses, which were in great re quest in the city of London, might not be turned to very useful purposes for the benefit of the charity. It was said also that it was parish, and not charity property, yet it appeared from the evidence that it was property entrusted to the parish for the use of the charity. le would, therefore, submit that sufficient had been proved to set aside the lease against the Company, and fur in quiring as to what had become of the other property. As against Mr. Mellish, he admitted that he felt great difficulty, and in the case of the exchange of property he did not know that it might ap pear advisable to impeach that transaction, but the other conveyance was of a different description, and Mr. Mellish must be bound by the notices in the deed, which he contended were sufficient. With these observations he should leave the case in his Lordship's hands. The MASTER of the Thous said that he had before observed that in these cases, though they should be looked at with great suspicion, and the party in pos session was placed in a disadvantageous position ; yet he did not conceive, after the cases cited, that it was imperative on him to say that a transaction of this na ture must of necessity be void. In those cases the Judges had gone somewhat further than he was disposed to go. The trustees of charities required to be very strictly looked after,but, taking what had passed, he thought the Court ought to inquire whether the trans action was beneficial at the time"; and if it should ap pear that it was fairly meant and beneficial at the time, he thought he must dismiss the information. If he came to a different conclusion, the question remained what was to be done with the other defendants ? lie would look over file depositions, and give his decision to-morrow. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1841. THE COAL-WHIPPERS. The distressed condition of this unfortunate body of men and their wretched families, appears to increase in proportion to their endeavours to extricate them selves from the worse than Egyptian bondage under which they have long suffered, and for aught that ap pears to the contrary, are likely to suffer, unless the sympathies of some powerfully influential advocates can be awakened in their behaif. They have already ap pealed to the . Legislature and the Corporation of LC/El don. By both their grievances have been inquired into and understood, and, as far as words went, were com miserated ; but beyond words years have rolled on, and for any practical good to the sufferers, both the .Legislature and the Corporation might as wall have been merged in their original chaos. Ineffectual pity from those who have the power to relieve, is mere wanton mockery, and those to whom it is offered may well be excused, if, now and then, an ebullition of im patience and dissatisfaction should manifest itself. Much to the credit of the coal-whippers, as a body, their conduct, in this respect, has been irreproachable— they have quietly received the wretched pittance doled out to them as the balance of a week's wages, for the next weeks' support of themselves and families—they have gone to their miserable homes and destitute chil dren, and mingled with their scanty meals the sighs of the oppressed and the tears of the helpless ; {tut they have comforted themsTlves as peaceable men—they have violated no law—they have trampled upon no in terests which the law, and more than tare lawriustice; would recognise. And yet these men and their fami lies, after years of such patient endurance, seem to be as far from substantial redress as they were when first they complained of the Juggernaut, whose wheels are daily crushing them. How long this state of things may last—how exquisitely tight the cord may bu stretched before it snaps asunder, is a problem that it should seem is now in course of elucidation. We trust, for the sake of all parties, the Dives as well as the Lazarus of the tale, that the last turn may not be given to the screw without some reflection as to the probable consequences. To the present time, the coal whippers have been an unoffending but deeply injured and shamefully neglected class of labourers—that they will preserve their reputation for peaceable demeat!our, there is little doubt, as regards themselves ; but winter is approaching, and the privations of summer sink into child's play when the rigours of the climate are super added to the empty stomachs and unclothed backs, which unremitting industry is neither allowed to fill nor cover, because the just earnings of that industry must be melted down to swell the dishonest gains of the mo nopolizing collier-publican. This is a part of the sub ject connected with the present condition of the coal whippers, tthich the City authorities may do well to take into immediate consideration. The new Mayoralty would commence with a claim to respect from every friend to humanity if one of its earliest measures should be a recommendation to the proper quarter for imme diate and effective interference to save these men and their families from destruction. In this matter the Chief Magistrate of the City might, like another Aaron, stand between the living and the dead, and with the aid of Providence and the zealous ..?-o-operation of the sufferers, the plague might again be stayed. At all events, something must be done for these men, and to be done well, it should be done quickly.—Sunday Paper. The efforts of the Coal-whippers are directed, we un derstand, towards the obtaining of a public office, from which they may be employed, and enjoy the advantage of appropriating their hard earnings to the purppses of educating and clothing their children, an adVestagc which, under their present system of employment, they do not peewit. ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON. Shortly before the battle of Jena, Napoleon h td well nigh fallen a victim to one of those accidents which may be considered as reinforcements to the legitimtte ha. zards encountered in the glorious " trade of war." At Weimar theEmperordisposed his forces in order o(battle, and bivouacked in the centre of his Guard. He had ordered a passage to be hollowed in the rock, and t6wards two o'clock in the morning set out on foot to ascertain how the work was proceeding. Having r,unaie ed an hour on the spot, he resolved to make . a rapid inspection of the nearest outposts, before ceturning to his hivouaelt. This solitary excursion nen: ly cost the Emperor his life. The night was so dar k that the sentries were unable to see the slightest oh feet .at the distance of ten paces. One of them, hearin, r foot steps, challenged, and immediately presented his p i ece. The Emperor, who was prevented from hearing I tile cia wive by one of his fits of absence, made no a a swer,.. and was speedily aroused from his reverie by ' a ball whizzing past his ear. Instantly aware oif his danger, he threw himself flat on the ground. t No sooner had be adopted this precaution than a s lower of bullets passed over him ; the first sentry's fire aving been repeated through the whole line. The mom, e ntary danger past, the Emperor rose and walked st r eight to the nearest outpost, where be was immed; lately recognized. In a few minutes the sentry who had first challenged and fired was relieved from his post; and brought before Napoleon. The soldier was a y oung Grenadier in one of the regiments of the line.

MASONS' STRIKE. Another adjourned meeting of the masons and the dele gates from the various Trade Societies of the Metroplis was held, last evening, at the head-quarters of the Masons' Committee, the Craven Head, in Drury-lane, for the purpose of taking into consideration the future means to be adopted relative to the late strike at the new Houses of Parliament, and to receive reports from different societies of London as to the assistance they purposed lenditig the masons during their present situation. Mr. BUTLER took the Chair. The meeting was called for eight o'clock, but it was nine before the Chairman took his seat, at which hour the room was about half full. The minutes of the last meeting were read, and an opposition was offered to their confirmation, in conse quence of a resolution passed at the last meeting relative to the Pipe-makers. A DELEGATE moved that that part of the minutes should be struck out. The orizinal minutes were subsequently confirmed. The CHAIRMAN inquired if ally delegate had any re port to make, and Mr. O'CONNOR, from the United Brothers Society, of Grosvenor-mews, delivered in 51. Mr. ° from a soci e ty o f pl asterers , ten d ere d a., saidand T trey it ? would support the masons by a weekly subscription. Mr. ALSTON, a delegate from a society of painters in Great Portland-street, said he had intended to have brought 101, and their secretary had been instructed to draw that amount,• but he had been unfortunately taken ill, and they could net appoint a no th er t ill next Satur day. They would then be able to draw the money, and after that the society would support the masons with the sum of 5/. a month.—(Cheers.) Mr. JACKSON, from a friendly society at the Queen's Head, Acton-street, Gray's Inn-road, said they had given 201. last week to the masons, and he begged to tender 2CI. more.—(Cheers.) He had also instituted a subscription amongst his private f r i en d s , an d had ob tained the sum of 41. Is. 6d.—(Ch eers , ) Mr. GODDARD, from a stone cutter's society, said they taken had given 51 to the mayons. Mr. DUNBAR said he h a d ra i se d a su b scr i pt i on f rom a few private friends to th e amount of 2 / . 7s. 6 d . —(Ch eers .) said AI r ihat a RILEY, strike adhead e place le gafrom a a ce bo s o o l t t l b le bookbinder's society, agosocietiyn, their own trade, which was an expensive one, and had placed the society up to this time in difficulties. The masons then assisted them with Act Ile was therefore not enabled to announce that they could assist the masons, but they had made.a levy on the members of 2s. 6d. a week each, and they would, on Saturday, pay 10/. to ward the debt, and the remaining 301 would be paid in a few weeks. There was no merit in paying a debt, but though they owed other societies money, they thought they ought to pay the whole of the masons' debt tirst. Mr. SIMPSON, from the 13th Branch of the Union of Carpenters, said that his society was in difficulties at present, and as a society they were unable to assist the masons, but they had raised a subscription amongst cer tain individuals of the society, amounting to 31. Mr. RYAN delivered in the sum of 165., which he had collected from " a few enemies to oppression." A DELEGATE from a masons' society not on strike, said that the strike at the Houses of Parliament had caused a great many masons not employed there to be out of etnploy; and it was necessary that they should be supported, in order that they might not take work at the Houses of Parliament; and, therefore, his society could not assist the masons on strike. It was very de sirable to keep the masons not employed from taking work at Woolwich. Nelson's Monument, or the Houses of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) A discussion then arose relative to the subscription papers. Mr. DUNNING proposed that each paper be numbered, and sealed, to prevent mistake. Mr. WORTHINGTON stated that the Committee had re cently adopted that plan, and Mr. DUNNING withdrew his proposition. Mr. Bum proposed that books should be used instead. He thought they were much more convenient. A DELEGATE opposed the motion, on the ground that the middle leaf might be taken, and thereby the masons would be Jetted out of four pages of subscription. This gave rise to some desultory discussion, which at times was rather uproarious. The CHAIRMAN rose to speak to and put the motion, and was met with cries of " Time, time." The resolution was lost. Mi% ARMSTRONG WALTorr then rose and said that he would, as far as possible, give them some thing like a correct statement of the position in which they stood at the present time; and he thought he might say that they were similarly situated as on the last night they had assembled there. He did not see that there was much change, as Messrs. Grissell and Peto had evinced no disposition to investigate the charges the masons had made or to answer their chal lenge. They seemed determined to oppress the men as far as they possibly could. The same number of men, or nearly the same, which were at the works last week were there still. About four had left the works at Wool wich, being convinced of their error, and believing them selves to be wrong in endeavouring to take up the places of the men who had struck to support those who had resisted the tyranny and oppression of Allen. He be lieved he might also state that two men had left the works at Nelson's Monument, actuated by the same principle. They would see that the masons wen• in the same position, or nearly so, as they were last week. He would tell them, of which perhaps they were already per fectly convinced, that the object of Messrs. Grissell and . Pete: was-tosArry.tan.lileir works . with its few 'nen as possible. - However incompetent the few individuals they had now, they would make that few do till after Christmas, and endeavour to starve the masons out, which was their object—(liear, hear.) From the notice he had taken of the whole proceedings, he could plainly see that this was their object. They expected by these means to drive the masons back to work. They thought that the trades would slacken their efforts—that they would not stand by the masons' backs as nobly as they had hitherto done. But those gentlemen ought to know, that not only was London adopting the masons' cause, but the whole country was equally forward in taking it up; and he had the pleasure to announce that a large public meeting was held that night in Birmingham on the subject, and they had requested the attendance of a delegate from London to give them a full account of the strike, and a Lull statement of the grievances of the masons from the commeucement, and their position at the present time. There was also a Trades' Committee formed in Bristol similar to the one in London, and they 'had called a meeting of all the delegates in Bristol, for the purpose of carrying out the present strike. There was a similar Committee in Leeds, and also one in Man chester; and there was one thing which he would sub mit to that meeting, that it would be necessary that the Committee in London should correspond with the Committee ix the country. There ought to be a proper mode of communication through the country. He took the liberty of, suggesting this, although it might seem out of his province to do so because, unless there was a proper mode of communication—a proper anal systematic mode of action, it would tend very materially to destroy the energy and spirit which at present existed. He would also tell them that there were several parties in town, men entirely unconnected with any society, who had formed a society to last while the Masons' strike existed. He (Mr. W.) had received an invitation from a gentle,. man to attend at one of their meetings as a delegate from the Masons. Their meetings were to ba held at Duke street, Grosvenor-square, for the purpose of assisting the Masons, by entering into voluntary subscriptions. lie had no further information to communicate; it would be then left to the meeting to take the steps they thought. proper. The determination of Grissell and Peto was evi dently backed by some party, and that party he believed to be Government. He thought that if this strike was put down, it would have the effect of 'destroying the spirit of union throughout the country. — (Hear, hear.) He was quite certain that no means would be spared by their opponents to do so. For his own part, he could have had jobs plenty, but he felt the greatest desire to be on this strike, and do all that he possibly could in endeavouring to make it successful, and bring it to a speedy issue. Ile had only to add that the masons were equally determined with Messrs. Gris sell and Peto. He would have the subject in the hands of the meeting, to adopt what measures they thought proper.—(Cheers.) A LBLEGATE said that he had heard it reported that Messrs. Grissell and Peto intended to send Allen to Malta, upon some Government works that were going forward thm. Another D.F.LuoaTE—It was no such thing, as a gen tleman of the name of .Martin was going. A MEMBER of a Trades' Union inquired how many men were out on strike, and what they received per week. The SECRETARY stated that there were 230 men on .strike, and they r ec ei ve d 12s. per week each. A lungtheneddi scuss i on then arose as to the propriety of giving the mail 15s: instead de 12k The Secretary sa:d they were afraid that the funds would not allow it, ' when it was replied, that the 4,0 00 masons N%ho were in work, and wh o h ad a reed to pay 6d. a week would sup ply 1001. a w ee k . It was at length proposed, in the :Oral of a re so l ut i on, t h at the delegates should, at the next meeting, st a t e w h a t w as the probable amount that the tociety could negatived, and i t was agree d to refer the subject to the Conunittee. give the masons each w e ek. This was The CHAIRMAN then read a note from a society Of tin-plate workers, in Coldbath-fields, held at the Ben Jonson, Bath-street, enclosing 201. for the masons. — (Much cheering.) Mr. WORTUINCTON then said, that when they last struck they found that they received the best assistance from the quar r y men, w h o re f us ed to cut .the stone, and therefore it did not matter h o w many men they got, if they had no s t one to wor k. The masons, therefore, in the present strike, had written to the quarrymen at Dartmoor, the place where the stone for Grist:ll and I'eto's works was taken, and they had agreed to strike if they were supported whilst upon that strike. The CHAIRMAN then put it to the meeting as to when they should meet aga i n, an d t h e meeting adjourned to Wednesd a y even i ng next at t h e satire hour.

IMPORTANT FREE-TRADE MEETING IN SHEFFIELD. (From. the Sheffield Iris of Tuesday.) Yesterday a highly-important meeting, for furthering the objects of the Sheffield Society for the promotion of Free Trade, was held in the Cutlers' Hall, Oftley Shore, Esq., President of the Society, in the chair—present, Earl Fitzwilliam, John Parker, Esq., M.P. Sir Arnold James Knight, and n ear ly a ll our mos t influential mer chants, manufacturers, &c. The CHAIRMAN rose, amidst cheers, to open the pro ceedings, and said,—Their object in meeting and uniting was not to annoy the Houses of Parliament and disturb the country with unnecessary agitation, but to promote, ns far as posSible, the general peace and prosperity ; and under such circumstances he had the greater pleasure in taking the chair. Some there were who had said that if not a hammer was lifted, nor an anvil struck in Eng land, tl:e country would not be any worse off than at pre sent, and he deprecated such an absurdity. If they simply looked at the prosperity of the landed interest alone, they would see that its tendency had always been to improve with the extension of commerce; and it followed as a natural consequence thnt the value of landed property would inevitably sink with the decline of trade. Another important thing to be taken into consideration was the fiscal resources of the country, for they depended not less upon trade ; and the pay ment of the interest of the national debt itself would be endangered when that source failed. It therefore was in cumbent upon them to guard the rights of commerce. R. J. dAINSFORD, Esq. (one Of the Secretaries), stated that invitations had been sent to the borough Members, as well as to the Members for the West Rid ing and North Derbyshire, the latter of whom repre sented some portion of the interests of Hallam-shire— (Hear, hear)—as well as to some other Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with the neighbourhood, from some of whom he held replies, excusing their non-attend ance, but expressing their cordial approval of the meet ing and its objects.—(Hear, hear.) A letter was read train Mr. Ward, excusing himself, because he had his house filled with company. " Wortley, Nov. 10, 1841. " Sin—l have the honour to acknowledge the letter from yourself and Mr. H. Hinde, containing an invitation to me to attend the first general meeting of the Sheffield Society for Promoting Free Trade, on the lath inst., at the Cutlers' Hall ; and I beg, in the first place, to assure you that I am very sensible of the valite of that compli ment, both mu regards itself and the manner in which it is conveyed. I prize it the more, because it proves to me that, however I may unfortunately differ in some points of opinion from many of the gentlemen whose names are connected with this Society, they do me the justice to believe that I am anything but insensible to the intrinsic value of the great principles which they evince their de sire to promote; and that there is nothing in those diffe rences alone which would prevent my cordial co-opera tion with them for such a purpose. If, therefore, I think it necessary to decline attending on the approaching oc casion, I feel sure that they will not consider my decision as springing from any indifference towards those great principles, and still less from anything like disrespect towards themselves. " Upon a general view, my first impulse is to comply with the request contained in your letter, and to unite, without distinction of political party or prejudice,' in any effort for removing or relaxing, as far as possible, all those vexatious and injurious laws and regulations relating to trade, which prevent us from freely exchang ing the products of our industry with the various nations of the world.' lam desirous of a complete and impartial revision of our commercial tariff' with the above view, a work which I am by no means without the hope of seeing undertaken by the Government, which is, in my opinicn, the proper quarter from whence it should pro ceed, and I shall be anxious to avail myself of any op portunity which I may have in my legislative capacity to promote it. " Thus far, therefore, I should be able to concur in the objects of the proposed Society ; but, upon further consideration of the address which you have been good enough to send me, I am led to fear that in the discussion of these principles there would be points on which I might find myself compelled seriously to differ from the views of the Society. I ain not informed of what took place on the occasion of the former meet ing mentioned in the address ' • but although I am only too well aware of the actual existence of commercial depression and distress, I am by no means prepared 'to proclaim that ' our trade appears to be upon the decline, and is rapidly departing from our shores.' Again, lam as little prepared to admit that the present distress and stagnation is chiefly traceable to the present scale of import duties—high on most articles, and, both high and fluctuating on the paramount commodity of corn. Still less should I be likely to assent to many of the argu ments with which it is probable that these propositions will be maintained ; ar.d when I add to these reasons the recollection that a peculiar party signification has been unfortunately of late attached to the phrase Free Trade,' which the Society has adopted in its very title, • I cannot but apprehend that my attendance at the pro posed meeting would lead to no beneficial result ; and that I shall be taking, on the whole, a more expedient course, if I beg that my absence may be excused by the Society. '" I will request you to be so good as to convey my answer to the Committee, and to assure them that I re main their, as well as your, very obedient servant, " J. STUART WORTLEY." Mr. Denison preferred reading to hearing the speeches of his constituents, and therefore declined attending. EDWARD SMITH, Esq., amid cheers proposed the first resolution—" That the present import dutieF, which either prevent or obstruct our intercourse with foreign countries, greatly aggeavate the distress now Existing amongst the mercantile and manufacturing classes of England." Mr. $. thought he might, in the first place, congratulate the meeting on the progress of Liberal prin. ciples---(Cheers)—for he was glad to see that an influen tial Member of the West Riding had so far yielded to them, as in some degree to modify his views upon those subjects they were now met to deliberate on.—(Cheers.) Our imports were paid for by our exports, and who would suppose that the men of this country would con tinue to send their goods abroad, unless they could get more by what they brought back than what they sent ? Where, then, was the possibility of a loss from the re moval of' restrictions? The direct tendency of import duties was to restrict consumption ; and foreigners would not trade without profit any more than us. After showing the injurious effects of the import duties in relation to the domestic comforts and minor necessities of the working classes, especially in the consumption of coffee and sugar, Mr. Smith turned his attention to the paramount subject of the heavy duty on corn ; and, deprecating the irregularities to which it often gave occasion, said that nothing in trade was more beneficial than steadiness—(Cheers)--for when a sud den demand was by any means caused, its immediate effect was to give such an impulse to industry as could not be met by ordinary means ; workmen, finding the value of their labour rise so high above the proper me dium, and not knowing how to take a right advantage of their success, often gave their employers a great deal of annoyance—and under such circumstances they were more to be pitied than blamed.—(Hear, hear.) Upon this alone might be founded a great objection to any duty on corn, but especially under the sliding scale—for its great tendency was to produce the revur -1 sions he so much deprecated.—(Cheers.) Suppose that the merchant might in some case be making mode rate profits in his business, the prospect of a failing har vest, or even one of those sleight-of-hand tricks with which corn dealers were sometimes charged, would im mediately induce an excessive importation of grain, which from the suddenness of the occasion would have inevitably to be paid for in gold ; and here was another of the great evils of irregularit).—(flear, hear.) On one occasion a reduction was speedily made to the amount of six millions ; and an increased rate of in terest was the immediate result ; the effects very rapidly extended into the country; and the consequence was, that many who under other circumstances could have availed themselves of the banker's assistance, now to their morti fication found it withheld. And what followed ? Why the manufacturer dismissed his men that the amount of production might be lessened ; their houses were to let, and men who ought to have been employed at some use ful and profitable work, were set, for a scanty pittance, to sweep the streets--(!hear, hear)—and when all was gloom and despondency together, some one came forward and wisely attributed it to over-production.—(hear, hear.) But at any rate, said the speaker, if that be the case, let us not have the matter made worse by Act of Parlia ment.'—(Cheers.) If we are to have adversity, let us by all means have it in the ordinary course of Providence, and not of our own seeking for.—(Cheers.) Mr. S. concluded, in an eloquent and impressive manlier, by de nouncing the cry of over-production—and by expressing his wish that trade might be unshackled, that prosperity might bless alike the manufacturer and the agriculturist. THOMAS Dna:4, Esq.. was reminded of a meeting in t h e same place for a similar object Mee months ago, and was glad to see how much better the present one was attended. Many important changes had takes' place since then ; and though he would not e,;o into party questions on this occasion, he could not help .declaring that he regarded the groat measure proposed by the late Government as ono eminently calculated fur the benefit of the country.—(Cheers.) In allusion to the duty on corn, Mr. Dunn advocated a fixed duty, under which he said there was no rational probability of prices rising above a fair medium; and, as to supply, why, even Lord Stanley, with the aid of some new light which had burst upon him, had discovered one region alone that would supply all the world.—(Loud cheers.) There was no tear of shortness in the supply so longas there was a de mand; for, thirty years ago, when we were at war with nearly the whole of Europe, Napoleon, with all his decrees, was unable to keep foreign corn from this coun try. But commerce itself was the best safeguard of peace ; for a pool' of which they had only to look at the spirit which had been manifested during the late unplea sant ocsurrencee America.—(Cheers.) After congra tuleting Lord Fitzwiiliam and other lauded proprietors of the neighbourhood, on the example they were setting to the rest of their order. Mr. Dunn concluded amidst cheers by seconding the resolution. J. PA RKEit, Esq-, M.P., in support of the motion, said, every one knew what a strenuous advocate for free trade his frliow representative was, and that his services and energies in this great cause would never be wanting when they a ere necessarily called on.—(Cheers.) In reference to the important bubject which we are brought together to discuss, and which is so intimately connected with the welfare of this town, I do not hesitate to declare myself friendly to those principles as maintained by this Society. And I rejoice that you are beginning to see the necessity of taking. the field on this momentous;question, and setting out together i n a d ecorous an d b us i ness -lik e manne r. This Society is pledged to unanimity—disclaims connection with any particular party or shade of politics—and asks every man to enter with you in this great contest—nu matter whether be be Whig, Tory, or Radical—be they of whatever denomination of politics they may. I am persuaded that no plan—come from what party it may —no matter whether it com e f rom a Whig or a Tory Government—no plan can be adopted for the per mil-lent relief of the people of Eng,lssid, nor tend to extricate the masses from the difficulties in which they are plunged, unless the party bring; forth such measures of relief, go boldly and fearlessly into the con sideration of the question of free trade, and with a determination to open more freely the ports of this country to the produce of foreign nations.—(Loud cheers.) Wo have—whether wisely or unwisely I will not pretend to say, nor, to discuss—au enormous national debt, to pay the interest ef which requires thirty millions of money, which must be collected by some means.—(Hear, hear.) We have then twenty millions more required for the support of the various departments of Government. Everyone who pays any attention to the finances of this country must see that the means of taxation are becoming exhausted—(Hear, hear)—and if some new plan be not adopted on a large and mere comprehensive principle of admitting the produce of other nations, the trade of our own will be lost—(Hear) —but if done, so great is the productive power in this country, that by it alone we shall have ample indemnity and compensation.—(Cheers.) It is also clear to me that, whatever Government assumes the management of affiiirs, they cannot reduce the establishment of the realm.—(Hear, hear.) They may strike out a 500/. there, reduce a 1,0001. here, and a few scattered hun dreds elsewhere, but they can do nothing which shall affect the required twenty millions.—(Hear.) Such is now the increase of our colonies as well as the nature. of affairs between this country and the world, as to make such a procedure partially impossible. If, instead of admitting corn by fits and starts, Without any timely notice, as is done under the present sliding scale, you substitute a reasonable arrangement, and treat the ad mission of corn into our ports as you do other comruo • dities, you will immediately augment our commercial transactions, and do good both to the revenue and the country at large. If the State choose to have a duty on corn, let it be fixed—that all mankind may know it. By such a plan the State must derive considerable benefit to the revenue, and the trade of this country be indefinitely augmented. When we talk of re ciprocity we should recollect that very few coun tries have the power of reciprocity, excepting those who funiish us with our raw material. Why complain that other countries will not take our commodities ? We give them no opportunity to do so, inasmuch as we give no positive and previous notice that we shall require their corn—we only send for it when we want it.—(Hear.) Therefore, it does not enter into their minds to make permanent arrangements to provide for us. I-low, then, can they take our commo dity when they have not provided themselves amply with their own produce to exchange with us?—(Hear, hear.) Sonic there are that treat with contempt the manufac tures of this country—(Hear)—who wish to renew the old feudal system—who are tired out by the complaints of the manufacturers, and who anxiously desire to see the re-establishment of the Barons of old, and who exclaim that the sooner such smoky places as Leeds, Sheffield,and Manchester, are lost to the world's view, the better. Such as do not wish to see the revival of the days of the Barons, but who desire to live in towns like Shef field, Leeds, and Manchester, in prosperity, and under the shade of a good commercial government, it becomes them to declare their opinion in favour of just hews.— (Cheers.) Such was not the opinion of one of the greatest men of his day, Mr. Burke. This great states man asserted, that when he first devoted himself to the public service he considered how he should render him self best fit for it, and considered what it was that gave this country prosperity, and placed it at the head of all other nations. He discovered—and no man ever searched more deeply into this question than he did—that this country rose from its Constitu tion and commerce. I therefore venture now to re commend to others to imitate the conduct of Mr. Burke, and •not be ashamed to say that it is on account of its Constitution and its commerce that this country aspired to greatness—and while they maintain the one, learn to understand the other. I beg simply to add, that no arrangement on the sliding scale system can be satisfactory; unless it partake so much of the fixed duty as not to admit of being called a sliding scale. Any thing which keeps up that vicious system—so long as there continues to exist those jumps and starts, we shall always find that the monetary system of this country cannot be in a satisfactory state—it will not be in that state of steadiness which would be produced by a system in respect. of corn as we have it in other commodities. The Hon. Gentleman concluded an eloquent speech by . saying, I consider myself your representative, and as holding the principles of the Sheffield Free Trade So ciety, which will be conducive to the glory of the empire, to the improvement of the revenue, and the advancement of our trade.—(Loud cheers.) The meeting was subsequently addressed by William Ibbotson, Esq., S. Jackson, Esq., Wm. Vickers, Esq., James Moorhouse, Esq., Wm. Fisher, Esq , Mr. Ben son (an operative), who seconded one of the resolutions, and Mr. John Wardle. Earl FITZWILLUM, on receiving the thanks of the meeting, said, I cannot certainly do less than return you my thanks for the very handsome manner in which you have been pleased to compliment my presence.—(Cheers.) In addition, I shall only say that I have derived the greatest possible satisfaction from what I have heard ; and particularly the adoption by this meeting of the last resolution, which you have carried unanimously, and which throws 'overboard all the protection which the manufacturers are said by their opponents to be anxious to hold fast unto, that you are desirous of taking from the landowner that interest in protection which you are so anxious of claiming for yourselves. I am heartily glad that you have thus dealt with that question. Depend upon it that it is the only true mode of procedure—(lfear, hear)—and the only one which rests on a solid foundation, and by which you can escape, in the least degree, from any charge of being actuated by selfish motives, which might otherwise have been ascribed to you.—(Cheers.) I shall not say more on the present occasion, but assure you that I am exceedingly grateful for the manner in which you have been pleased to appreciate my presence.—(Loud cheers.) • JOHN PARKER, Esq., also returned thanks. The resolutions adopted were as follow ; "That it is an unsacred principle to attempt, by le gislative interference, to protect the manufacture or the growth of anything in any national locality, because free commercial intercourse will ever determine by whom and in what locality each thing can be best manufactured and most conveniently grown." " That the free intercourse between the nations of this earth for the various articles of manufacture and of natu ral production, is most conducive to the happiness of mankind generally, and is especially advantageous to a country which, like England, possesses great mineral wealth and natural facilities for commerce, combined with superior capital, industry, and skill." " That, whilst we claim an exemption from all pro tective import duties on foreign produce, we are pre pared at the same time to abolish all protective import duties on foreign manufactures ; and we are anxious that the idea of protecting trade or agriculture by means of import duties should be altogether abandoned, and that such duties should be employed only as a conve nient means of raising - revenue for the State, and their amount be regulated with reference to that single object." - _ THE HAPPY POPULATION OF THIS MOST FREE AND MOST GLORIOUS NATION.

As to bedding and clothing, I have not bought a particle of bedding the last six or seven years ; nor have I had any shirts for that time, but. what I have received from Popplewell's cha rity. We have only one old blanket for the whole family, and three of the children (girls) lie on the fluor ; and the generality of the bedclothes are not worth de scribing. I have said that my case is the case of thousands of my fellow hand-loom weavers. To illustrate this, 1 have only to mention that there are twenty-seven (weavers) iu the same street, amounting in the whole to considerably more than one hundred persons, and my wife, being under the necessity to borrow one halfpenny to purchase uornuthing necessary for breakfast, applied to eight different houses without being able to obtain the loan of it ; such is their destitution. Assuring you, Mr. Editor, that the above ease is no fictitious one, of which I shall give every one desirous of asc , .:rtaliiing the truth a proof, by leaving my name with you,-1 yours respectfully, I A SAND-LOOM WEAVER. Little Bolton, Nov. 9, 1841. —Letter in the Bolton Free Press. We learn from Bremen that a boy, only 13 years of age, the son in of highly respectable liv ingparents, at Bayreuth,in Lavia, has been d e t ecte d i n at tempting to poison one of the masters of a school at Bremen, where he was placed, by infusing in a glass of sugar and water a quantity of arsenic. Fortunately the intended victim, before drinking, stirred the water with a spoon, and discovered a sediment, which he knew not to be sugar. The boy, on being accused of the act, con fessed that lie had done it in revenge for having been punished with two hours' confinement. lie asserted that the poison was given him by th e apprent i ce of an apo thecary in the neighbourhood, but this was proved to be false. It is added, that h e h a d prev i ously a ttempted to poison his sister, but she escaped after some slight s it tering. The delinq uen t i s comin i tted to prison, but tis said he cannot be punished on account of his youth. E ENI Q SUN SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.—GOODWOOD 1643' - (CONCLDED.)
