The additions made to the life policies granted by this Cor poration for the last seven years vary trom 41 to 65 per cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent„ or two per cent. per annum on the sums assured—a result, it is believed, more favourable than any other Company (mutual or proprietary ) has hitherto accomplished, when the low rates of premium charged by this C•nn t tany are taken into consideration. The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five years. and persons entering be fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete years. To facilitate loan transactions a reduced scale of rates with out profit has been adopted.

July 9. 84n 79 52 52 66 64 14, 1812. Highest Lo7se3t . Daily Mean . General Register Office, July BuRKE's Hlir.ALDßY.—Under the title of " A General Armory of England, Scotland, and Ireland," by John Burke, E.q., author of the ‘• Peerage," ts.c., and John Ber nard Burke, Esq., of the Middle Temple, we hare obtained a work which should have b en !ong since, and it is marvellous that it has not been, one of the standard works of our litera ture. How anxiously and how dearly have the old authorities on the subject been sought after and purchased. Guillim, we believe, out of date as the book is now more than a century, fetches so ne ten or a dozen guineas, and Edmondson and the other writers upon heraldry and the science of arms, when they can be procured at the old bookshops, which is not always, bring equally high prices ; while here, in one very au, erb vo lume, we have the whole of what those authors collected, with the hiatus of probably a hundred years filled up, so as to bring the researches down to the year of our Lord 1842, arranged alphabetically, and printed admirably, at comparatively a very inconsiderable charge. But this work comprises much more than the old heralds contemplated ; it gives brief genealogies of frost of the eminent families, particularly where quarterings have been obtained through intermarriages. It is, indeed, a most complete dictionary of heraldry, and register of armorial bearings.— Standard. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.— Annual General Meeting of Proprietors.—This Meeting was held in the Office of the Company, No 8, Waterloo-place, on the Bth July, James Stuart, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. The Report of Receipts and Dis bursements of the Company, and of the amount of their Funds, required by their Deed of Settlement. having been laid before the Meeting, the Chairman called their attention to the con tinued progressive success of the Company, which was esta blished by the fact, that their books showed an increase of 3,3751. 7s. 3d. of Premiums, received for the year from Ist July, 1811, when the First General Meeting of Proprietors and Division of Profits took place, to Ist July, 1842, over the Amount of Premiums of the preceding year, to Ist July, 1841. This fact was the more worthy of notice, because it had been publicly stated by the Chairman of the Scottish Widows Fund Assurance Company, one of the greatest in the empire, and is recorded in their Report of March, 1842, that the Business of Life Offices in London generally, had diminished one-half in 1841, as compared with 1840, and that their business had, during the same time, not diminished much more than one fourth. The thanks of the meeting were, on the motion of M. D. Lind°. Esq., seconded by John Connell, Esq., unanimously voted to the Directors, and especially to the Resident Director, Edward Boyd, Esq., for his unremitting exertions to promote the interest of the Company. The General Steam Navigation Company's vessel Caledonia, Captain H. Cheesman, made her last passage from London to Hamburgh in the short space of 41 1 A hours. GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND RAILWAY.—SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday evening last, the 13th instant, great alarm was caused by the non-arrival of the Through Train from London, which was due at seven o'clock at the sta tion at Darlington, and at half•past seven an engine was dispatched, when it was ascertained that a sad accident had hap • pened at Alne station. It appears from the best information we can gain that the policeman at the above train had in cautiously lent the key to a man to open the switches at the entrance to the depots, and which was not properly adjusted when the passenger train arrived; conseqsently the engine and coaches, instead of keeping the main line of railway, took the branch leading to the depots, which are about twelve feet above the level of the coal-yard, and the engine forced two trucks in the line into the coal depots, and the engine and the next coach attached went down as far as they could, which caused a severe shock through the whole train. The passengers in the first coach were dreadfully injured. One gentleman had three of his ribs broken, and a little boy, it was feared, had sustained a concussion of the brain. However, we are glad to say, that no lives were lost, and the passengers were able to proceed on the journey, with the exception of five or six. The train arrived at the Darlington station abeut ten o'clock, and this morning ( Thursday) the Directors, Secretary, and Superintendent went down to investigate the case. The train was a very large one, and two gentlemen's carriages were attached, one belonging to Mr Ogle, the Member for Northumberland. SulcinE.—At an early hour yesterday morning an unforturafr fernale. named Jane Da , es, threw herself into the r_tl;t. n - titne 01,,e, Ir, a (.1 f,er aL the time, but they were so I drunk as to be unable to give an alarm. .... His Royal Hightails would not have undertaken this painful task, were he not fully tw.presArd with the great importance of the subject, as well as with the loyalty and honest attachment of thwe individuals towards the sacred person of the Sovereign, and which have dictated to them to adopt such a course. From the conversation which the Duke of Sussex has held with the Deputation, both on Friday and Saturday last, he is firmly convinced of the melancholy truth contained in the in closed statement, which he considers of such importance, that he deems it right that her Majesty should be made acquainted with its contents, especially as the petition is drawn up in strong though respectful language. While his Royal iligbness does not presume to give an opinion on the mode of meeting this momentous question, he cannot, however, avoid availing himself of the present oppor tunity to express to Sir James Graham his sincere sympathy with the sufferings of so numerous and industrious a class of her Majesty's subj , cts, and his serious alarm at the distressing consequences which are likely to result should neither the Go vernment nor Parliament be able to devise a means for the employment of so large a portion of the community as is now out of work. The Duke of Sussex is confident, that after the observations which he has considered himself imperiously called upon to mike to Sir James Graham, that the Right Hon. Secretary of State for the Home Department will take the earliest opportu nity of laying the said pea:ion before her Majesty, with the as surance of the loyalty and devotion which the petitioners enter tain for the person of their Sovereign, and which have prompted them to lay their respectful ant constitutional statement of their actual distress at the foot of the throne. Kensir►eton Palace, July 10.1841 COPY OF SIR JAMES GRAHAM'S REPLY. Whitehall, July 11, 1842. Sir,—l have received from your Royal Highness a petition addressed to her Majesty, anal also a letter, which your Royal Highness has been pleased to write to me. It will be my duty to lay the petition before her Majesty without delay.-1 have the honour to be your Royal Highness's obedient servant, ( Signed) J. R. G. GRAHAM. To his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, K. G. FROM SIR JAMES GRAHAM TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. Whitehall, July 13, 1842. Sir,—l have the honour to inform your Royal Highness that I have not failed to lay before the Queen the petition signed by a numerous body of persons, which was transmitted to me for presentation to her Alajesty, by your Royal Highness on the 10th instant —I am, Sir, your Royal Highness's dutiful and obedient servant, (Signed) J. R. G. GRAHAM. To his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, K. G. The CHAIRMAN then read the following letters, or ex tracts of letters, from correspondents in the provinces : Haslingden, July 14. TO P. A. TAYLOR, ESQ.,CHAIRMAN OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE, LONDON. My dear Sir,—l am extremely happy to inform you and the Delegates who remain in London, that we had a most glorious public meeting, last night, in the open air. We had decidedly the largest assembly ever known to be brought together in this town. The object of the meeting was to receive an account of my mission to London, as member for this town. I suppose we had upwards of 3,000 present—some say we must have had 8,000, for many came from Blackburn, Burnley, Bacup, Acrington, Edenfield, &c. After I had given an account of your proceedings up to Sa turday evening, at which time I left the Conference, the meet ing passed, with three cheers, the following Resolution : " That this meeting views with indignation the unfeeling and unmsnly conduct of the majority of the present House of Com mons, for refusing to afford that help which is in their power to the manufacturing and labouring population of this country. We therefore pledge ourselves never to give up our efforts un til the unrighteous and unjust laws which prohibit the free importation of food is totally repealed. " And as no confidence can be placed in the House of Com mons, as at present constituted (for future safety), we deter mine to agitate until the principles of the document, denomi nated the People's Charter, become the law of the laud. " In order to effect so desirable an end this meeting recom mends the unity of the middle and lower orders of the people, well knowing that unity is strength; and it a people would be free they must will it." Wishing rou and the Deputies every success, I am, my dear Sir, yours, 'ice., S. SMITH, Deputy for Haslingden. Carlisle, July 14, 1842. Sir,—On the other side I transmit a copy of a resolution, passed at a meeting, held last evening, of the Council of our Anti-Corn-law Association, and which by a subsequent resolu tion I was directed to forward to you, for the purpose of being laid before the Conference. I have only time to add that the Association much regret that they hlve been unable, from various circumstances, to procure the attendance of a Deputy from this place. I am Sir, J. D. CARR, Secretary.? To George Thompson, Esq., Secretary to the Anti-Corn-law - - Conference, now sitting in London. " Resolved,—That inasmuch as the state of trade in this city is still equally depressed, and the pressure of distress upon the labouring classes continues equally severe as at the period when the Deputies met in London in the spring of the present year, except only in so far as the condition of the poor has been alleviated by the advance of the season, and inasmuch as this Association still continues deeply impressed with a conviction of the injustice of the Corn and Provision-laws, and the increasing necessity for their total repeal. This Association would have felt it their duty, had they not been prevented by unavoidable circumstances, to send a Deputy or Deputies to the Conference now sitting in London. That this Association offer their best thanks to the Conference for the course they have pursued, and for the exertions they have made, and urge upon them to con tinue to use every means within the bounds of the law and the Constitution, to torte the adoption of a free trade in corn and previsions upon the Government of this country." Dear Friond,—The shopkeepers of this neighbourhood agreed at their meeting last night to make their situation known to Government; bet wixt one and two hundred assembled and were quite unanimous in oiinion, that unless something be imme diately done to alev]ate the distress they cannot get through the corning winter. JOHN BEEVERS. Todmorden, July 12. TO JOHN MORRIS, ESQ., 99, MOUNT-STREET, GROSVENOR- SQUARE, LONDON My DEAR have much pleasure inicknowledging receipt of your various communications. It was intended by the Association here to have dispatched one of their own num ber, with full particulars, as a delegate, to assist the other De legates in London representing Paisley. This, however, was found impracticable; and the embarrassments of Paisley were so notorious that any written statement transmitted to London was deemed superfluous. Provost Henderson and Bailie Smith, both of whom are members of the Paisley Association, set out for London last night, as a deputation from the Relief Committee here, to represent to the Government the wretched condition of the operatives of Paisley, and the inadequacy of the funds placed at the disposal of the local authorit es for the relief of the un employed. I have shown Provost Henderson and Bailie Smith your letters, and those which I have received from the other delegates, and they have agreed to meet with you and the other delegates, and communicate all necessary information. I shall he glad to hear from you from time to time as to how the good cause prospers, for I am much delighted with your at tention to the duties devolved upon you by the Pai,ley Asso ciation.-1 am, my dear Sir, yuur's truly, Pais l ey, July 13, 1842. ROB. WILSON. Dear Sir,—My object in writing these few lines, is to inform you that I visited Stockport on Tuesday last, and it is impos sible for the mind of man to conceive a more miserable place ; the houses unoccupied are almost innumerable. I walked through one of the streets which branches from Hill-gate, and there were only three houses inhabited on one side of the street. Stockport appears to me like a town visited with the plague. If Government will not endeavour to remedy this state of things, I shall consider the country in danger, and a civil war is of all things to be dreaded. Bury, July 14, 1842. The mills are doing very little, and all the manufacturers are determined to give over as near as possible, if there is not a speedy alteration. T rade is no better, and the reports from Manchester yesterday were of a gloomy cast. There is to-day more applications to the board (now sitting) than there ever were before, and but for the funds sent down from the Relief Committee, I do not know what could be done. The number of paupers are daily increasing. o,lne, 13th July, 1842. Mr. WmcocK, of Blackburn, then proceeded to ad dress the meeting. The people of the neighbourhood which he represented were perhaps better off than the inhabitants of other towns in Lancaster ; but still their condition was far from being prosperous. If it were 50 .3 they should not now have eight or nine mills totally stand'` ing. The first of these mills to which he should refer was what was called a wide-mill, built with new machinery, about seven years ago. The two partners had since failed, and had gone to the United states. The ma chinery of the mill had been sold, and most of it had since been broken up. The machinery of another mill, which had closed about the year 1839, had also been broken up ; the proprietor had since died, and died of a broken heart, as it was believed. The third mill to which he would refer, had its machinery built about the year 1833; the parties who worked it failed a short time since; and another gentleman had sin ce carried it on, but at a loss, it was thought. to himself, an d he was now desirous to dispose of it. The f ourth mill was situated a few miles out of town ; it was built i n th e year 1834 1.1. mat;_ya C ,;11 1• a!:16. pit Ithe erto:ohle. The nun mill to which he should refer, had had new machinery built in the year 1834 ; the parties had since failed, and the place is now shut up. In the sixth mill tw o parties had failed at different tunes, and the machinery had since been broken up. The seventh mill which he should mention, was what was called a power-loom ,shed, which had been built in 1837 or 1838 at a cost of 5,0001. ; it was sold the other day for 2,0001. One of the parties, of the name of Wallace, went to the United States.. He was made a bankrupt, but did not appear at his second meeting. He gathered up all he possessed, 3001. or 4001., and diddled his creditors, and went away. The next was one of the most considerable millowners in Blackburn, and he became bankrupt last March. A large machine-shop, which used to employ two or three hundred men in 1833, when provisions were low, and those parties were then earning from 30s. to bOs. a week. That shop had been standing during the whole of 1839 and 1840. What had become of the work-people he could not tell because those artizans would not stop to beg at home, for if they went round a town with salt in a whe::lbarrow to exchange it for bones, they would not do so at home ; they would go to another town. - (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Wilcock) had received yesterday two letters from his town, which he begged leave to call the attention cf the meeting to : Blackburn, July 11, 1842. Dear Sir,--John Hindle, in the beginning of spring, had eight farms untenanted, three of which he has let at a reduc tion of :25 per cent., the other five he cannot let. It appears from what I can learn from Thomas Thwaites that there are from fifteen to twenty public-houses to let, or one-fifth of those in the town. Messrs. T. and W. Thwaites have twelve pub licans petitioning for the benefit of the Insolvent Act this Court, July 14. The Black Dog public-house, formerly let for 751., is now let for 401., and too dear. A public-house, be lrgieg to J. J. Livesey, let in 1839 for 351, was let a fortnight since for 14/. per annum. The information about empty pro. perty I can get through no one but the overseer, and might have to wait a week fur it. The reduction in the price of new milk is a halfpenny, that in blue and buttermilk a farthing. generally, some places a halfpenny in blue. Butter at the be ginning of April was 11 1 ,0. to ls., now 91 to 9 1 /yd., has been at Bd. and 8 1 ,0. to the farmer. In conclusion, I may add that we hare hare three or four shopkeepers failing every week, with the prospect generally of a very small dividend. That letter was from a gentleman who was one of the largest provision merchants in the town. He should say he dill as much business as all the town put together. The next letter was as follows : I received your letter and newspaper, and have to thank you for them. You appear to be going in the right direction for making an impression upon Sir Robert, as well as to satisfy the country that the delegates are in earnest, and are deter mined not to look on supinely while the people are starving. You an t giveyou what I can, a information ndu will up what I elort from your own information. I can tell you our state in a few words ; and that is, we get worse every day, more and more people are being out of employ, consequently more desti tution and want is the result; scarce a day passes but some tale of woe, either of suicide committed, or actual starvation having taken place, for want of employ. Hundreds of fami lies who, two years ago, were in good circumstances and had plenty, are now in the most wretched state. Manufacturers, grocers, butchers, shoemakers, publicans, in fact., all who re tail, are ruined, or being ruined. The hand-loom weavers are wretched in the extreme, they cannot average more than 3s. per week—a portion of them were better employed a few weeks ago at fancy work, but within the last fortnight that sort of work has been so depressed, that the manufacturers have re. duced wages fifteen per cent. ; besides hundreds cannot get work. I know that weavers have come from Sabden to Black burn six times for a warp, which is eighteen miles, both ways, and when wove received only 65., thus you see the poor creatures received only 6s. for walking 108 miles, and weaving 220 yards of cloth, and bear in mind these are not isolated cases but of frequent occurrence. We have seven cotton mills less working now than we had two years ago ; we have 300 mechanics, less employed ; three fourths of the joiners are unemployed • masons, bricklayers, , tailors, shoemak e r s , labourers, and indeed all trades, and callings, are three-fourths unemployed in the same proportion. Great falling off with butchers, publicans, small shopkeepers, and in fact with all descriptions of trades. Cottage property is worth nothing to the owners, especially at the outskirts of the town, and rents of shops, public-houses, are greatly reduced. The number of poor at present in our workhouse is 700, a year ago we had 260; the rates are in creasing, and the rate-payers' means of paying them are rapidly decreasing ; what the end will be God only knows. A great change also is taking place for the worse in the morals of the people. The middle class, formerly so honest and punc tual in all their dealings with creditors, are becoming wreck less, and dishonest, the working operative openly and boast ingly declares his hatred of, and his plans to destroy, the Government which so grievously oppress him ; indeed nothing but curses, and imprecations are common topics of conversation amongst the industrious classes. Breaches of the law by the unempolyed are of frequent occur rence, that they may get into prison and get bread ; one in stance out of many I will give you :—an Thursday list, about bed-time, crash goes the room-window of Mr. Carruthers. He got out of bed, and threw up the window to ascertain the cause, when an emaciated creature stood in the street. When asked why he had broken the windows? he replied, " I am nearly hungered to death, and want to get into prison, to get something to eat." A police-cfficer was called, the man was taken to the police station, and taken care of, rejoicing in what he had done. I will now briefly recapitulate what I have stated above, and leave you to draw your own conclusions. Two years ago we thought trade very bad, and the operative miserably paid for his labour, then the weaver had 4s. for what he now receives ls. 4.1. The mechanics then were well paid, and plenty of work ; now three-fourths are out of work, and badly paid. Then publicans, shopkeepers, butchers, tailors, shoe makers, and other businesses could make a lining; now they are all distracted, not knowing what to do to save themselves from pauperism. Two years ago rents of cottages were paid, and no empty shops or cottages : now no cottage rents paid, and numbers of shops, public-houses, and factories to let. Our union workhouse had then 260 inmates, now we have 700 ; our working population then were comparatively comfortable, with the exception of the hand-loom weavers; now they are wretched and miserable in the extreme. Publicans are doing very bad, numbers are in the hands of the brewers, so that you may judge the depreciation of such property. The Black Dog, which let for 751. six months ago, has been re-let for 401. ; in fact, we cannot go on much longer without a great change for the better. Yon wrote to Mr. G. Briggs, requesting him to answer cer tain questions, which he has handed over to me, himself not having had time to write to you. You may gather from what I hare written answers to the questions propounded by you. 1 have omitted to mention the destitute state of the working classes. They are hungered, without clothing, without bed ding, without furniture, and altogether in a most woeful state. Mr. Briggs has handedme a list of wages ; what he is payins nuw, and what he was paying two years ago :-6.4 super he was paying in 1840, 2s. 6d. per cut of 24 yards, and lie is now paying is. 2d. ; 6-4 40 laconet he was paying in 183/, 45., in 184.2, Is. led., and all other sorts reduced in the same proportion. I have given you a rough sketch of the state of Blackburn, and not an exaggerated one ; it will refresh your memory, while stating to the meeting your opinions. James rilkington is not at home, consequently I cannot tell you who will replace you at the Conference. A meeting is being held to-night, when a Delegate will be named to replace you. We are much in the state as we were when you left. Another letter will follow this to-morrow, when I will report was is going for ward. The Conference resolutions have revived our drooping spirits ; all approve of their proceedings. Until you hear from me again, 1 am, &c. The population of Blackburn was upwards of 37,000. He should say that the gentleman, who had eight farms in the beginning of the spring, and had now only five, had now six houses in King-street, which was considered the best part of Blackburn, varying in rent from 201. to 25/., all empty. He was a Tory, however, and perhaps it served him right. Mr. MOORE begged to ask Mr. Wilcock if there were not some mobs of people in the year 1826 who broke the mills and machinery ? Mr. WILCOCK—Oh yes ; we were great people then. They came in their thousands from the mountains, and were called " the blue mountaineers ;" they came with large sledge hammers, and with pikes having loaves of bread stuck on them, and some had guns, and they went to the mills, where they used power looms which had just been set to work. The people said, " These looms have deprived us of our bread, and we'll serve them so that they'll not work any more ;" and they made good their threat. He thought Sir Robert Peel was Home Secretary then. They were in great distress then, and George IV. sent them 1,000/. Sir R. Peel was inviting them to do the same thing now, for he attributed a great deal of the distress to machinery. He wondered if the populace should act upon the Premier's sugges tion, whether they would arraign him for high treason? The agriculturists and the manufacturing interests must go together ; together they must sink or swim ; like the Siamese twins, they could not destroy one without aiming a deadly blow at the other.—(Cheers.) The other day Mr. Sidney Smith said it was a great shame that Blackburn should send two Tories to Parliament. So it was a great shame. The majorities, however, were small over the Reformer, Mr. Fielden having a majority of 15, and Mr. Hornby only 1, over Mr. Turner, the Reformer.—(Hear, hear.) When Mr. Fielden, who was a large manufacturer, left home for London, he had 200 or 300 looms standing still ; if trade had been healthy and profitable, he (Mr. Wilcock) apprehended they would not have been in that condition—and yet Mr. Fielden voted on thoside of monopoly. Mr. MooeE wished to know what was the feeling of the people—whether there was any under-current going ou ; whether, in fact, the peace was safe in Blackburn Mr. WILCOCK was glad the question had been put to them, because he could inform that meeting, and he could inform the country, that the peace was anything but safe. The soldiers in the barracks were on duty night and day ; each soldier was provided with ten rounds of ball cartridge, and, indeed, an outbreak was daily expected. On the 13th of June, Feargus O'Connor went to the town of Blackburn ; of course there was a procession, and upwards of 15,000 full-grown men ap peared in it. Mr. O'Connor lectured in the theatre in the evening, and the place was crammed to suffocati ,- )n. They, as Corn-law Deputies, had been told that they had not the people with them. How was that ? What did the people say ? "Faugh, why you may as well whistle jigs to a mile-stone as to expect to get anything from the House of Commons—come along with us, go along with us in all our measures and we will get you what you want— we will get you cheap bread."—(Cheers.) It was a ques tion, however with him whether they oug ht t o go with the Chartists in all their measures. In February last year.. he (Mr. Wilcock) sold engines equal to 86 horse 1 10 " 1 ', `2,000 spindles; 500 power-leonis, 50 cot . Cage-hout:.:::.,, two excellent dvalling-hugs:..), iu one of which he resided himself, for 13,000/. ; and, if they had to be sold now, he should most probably not be able to find a purchaser for them. Some part of those premises were erected in 118, and the remainder, including must of the machinery, was put up in 1832, the whole expense being 50,000/. He hail met an attorney, a few days before he left Blackburn, who was a large rent-collector, and he was congratulating him (Mr. IV ilcock) on being out of business; he said he was a lucky man. He asked • him why? The attorney answered--" I've)een a re ceiver of rents for, thirty years, but never saw such a rent-day as this ; 10s. where we ought to have 205., and we can't get more ; what it will come to, I don't know." Now, this gentleman was a high Tory, and he (Mr. ' Wilcock) told him, it serves you right, and, next year, I hope you will get ss. instead of 20s. A short time ago he met a large spinner belonging to the neighbourhood, and he asked him when they were geeing to have an end of this dreadful state of things, and what was to become of the labouring population ? He replied, " Oh. I find that they're working very well—l have great faith in poverty." He was a high Tory, and said that the repeal of the Corn-laws would not - benefit them at all. But then with the sugar and coffee duties. " Oh," said he, " that's another case, quite. I think they ought to be repealed." And why should he think so ? Because he sent out goods to Brazil, and was obliged to take sugar and coffee in return ; and he could not brine. these to our shores, but was obliged to take them to Belgium and Holland.—(Hear.) Where the shoe pinched he could feel.—(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He (Mr. W.) met that gentleman the other day, and he said, "No matter what it is, something must be done in our pre sent distressed state, or we shall not be able to get over the winter."—(Hear.) In that part of the country there had been several daring burglaries, and that too during midsummer, a thing which was never heard of before.—(Hear, hear.) About three miles from Black burn there was a Roman Catholic priest- residing at a place called Pleasington Priory. In the latter part of May last, about two o'clock in the morning, he was awoke by the crashing in of one of his windows. He had a pistol with him, and, with it in his hand, he jumped up out of bed, and called out, " What's to do ? " He was answered " We'll let thee know what's to do ?" There were eight men. They had black crape hanging from their hats and caps, over their faces. First they told him to get into bed again ; then to tell them where his money was ; and he did so. But one of the fellows, thinking that the clergyman was observing him too much, struck him a violent blow on the head, from which he was slightly protected by the bed clothes. They took away the chalice, the pix, and other utensils of the altar, his plate, watch, and money, about 501. worth, which was as much as the house itself was worth. The -house of another Catholic priest. at a place called Long redy, was attacked on the same night. They drove in the window ; for they do not now-proceed very secretly, but smash in the windows at once. The priest was from home, and the housekeeper had a person to keep her company. The fellows who broke into the house used those two women very badly. In the former case the priest and his housekeeper, however, took some notice of one of them, who had an old black veil over his face, in which there .were some holes. From the de scription they gave of him a policeman said, " That's Rawlinsen ;" and in a few days he was taken. The fellow was tried at Preston at the last assizes, was con victed, and sentenced to be transported for life. Mr. Wilcock concluded by thanking the meeting for the at tention with which they had heard him. A Lady who has attended the Conference for some days, and has appeared to take great interest in its cause, was desirous of making some observations, but the Chairman politely informed her that although there was no objection to a lady's presence at their meetings she could not take part in their proceedings. Mr. Wthcocie said, he had omitted to read an extract from a Blackburn newspaper, to which he had alluded. It was : He has completely deceived them ; and they richly merit the deception which has been practised upon them ; it will be for the country to take advantage of it. For our part we are heartily sick of both ; the farce has been kept up too long ' • and we should advise the whole band of monopolists, with Peel, and all his company of political mountebanks, to clear the stage, and take ih,mselves off, ere an enraged and starving multitude " put out the lights," ar.d demolish their whole paraphernalia of political jugglery. There are some queer signs abroad— some ugly breakers a-head ; and let but a storm arise, such tinkering top-sail men as Peel, Stanley, Graham. and that szurvy crew, will be totally incapable of steering the national bark into a safe and secure anchoring place. It will require more skilful hands than such a lubberly set as they are. Mr. 11. 4 Lu00, Delegate from Lambeth, said that the distress was universally admitted by all parties, not only by the advocates of the repeal, but by every class of persons, friends and foes. The distress was not so great in the metropolis as in the other parts of the country ; and when they considered the wealth accumulated here, it was not to be wondered at. But in the trade to which he belonged, and which was intimately connected with the condition of the working classes, upon whom it very much depended—for when he mentioned that the trade was beer, they would see its connection with the work ing classes—(Bear, and a laugh)—he was very far from wishing to see men make themselves drunkards, or waste their earnings in the public-houses ; still it was well known, that in the metropolis at least the working classes, for the most part, lo9ked upon beer as one of the necessaries of life, and as far as they used it only as such, he thought the poor working man was as en titled to his beer, as any gentleman in the land was to his wine. —(Hear.) At all events, it was a fact that the public-houses of London would afford a test of the earnings of the working classes in the metro- Ai • Their value had greatly fallen off in the last few years. HouSes that would, not long ago, sell for 6,0001. or 7,0001., were at present worth no more than 2,0001. Numbers of publicans were lately bankrupt or insolvent, and the brewers had been severe losers. This was to be attributed to the inability of the working men of the metropolis generally to supply themselves with what they considered a necessary of life. Sir , Robert Peel had alleged that the cause of the distress was chiefly that foreign nations, since the termination of the general war, had been able to turn their attention to manufac tures instead of spending their money upon war. But the Right Hon. Baronet omitted to say that this was an additional reason why there should be no clogs upon the manufacturing industry of this country.—(Hear, hear.) We do not object that foreigners should endea vour to employ themselves in manufactures ; but we did and do object to our lawmakers creating laws which dis able us from fair and free competition.—(Applause.) He did nut regret the long continuance of peace. On the contrary, he hoped most earnestly that it would con tinue, and that nations would so understand its value as nut to allow themselves to be led into the plains to be slaughtered for the gratification of their rulers.—(Ap plause.) He was intimately acquainted with the coun ties of the north, especially Northumberland, Cumber land, and Durham ; and in them the people were in the most distressed state. The labouring men subsisted upon a little weak tea and Mack bread, not fit for dogs. A DELEGATE—The dogs won't eat it. I have made the exporitnent.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. M•LEoD didn't doubt it. The question was how were they to remedy their present evils ? He thought the League had already done much to enlighten the peo ple—(Hear, hear.)—and when the people came to un derstand the question, he thought they would knock so loudly at the doors of the House of Commons, that those within would not have courage to resist the call.— (Great applause.) He had been present when, the Bight Hon. Baronet made his magnificent speech against the Catholic Emancipation Act, in which he predicted that if the measure passed the Crown would be - destroyed, and that the Church would crumble into dust. He had afterwards heard him propose that very Bill as the Mi nister of the Crown. And on what ground did he pro pose it ? Not because it was just, but because it was expedient.—(Hear.) The Irish party had wrung it from his fears ; let them take the same course with respect to the Corn-laws.—(Hear, hear.) For his own part, he was hardly surprised at the course pursued by the aris tocracy. They had all the power, and nearly all the wealth, in their own hands, and as they thought that the repeal of the Corn-laws would reduce their income, it was very natural that they should oppose it. It was a principle of human nature ; all persons had it more or less.—(Hear, hear) There might, indeed, be some splendid exceptions, some few persons who were so be nevolent and kind-hearted that they would not aggran dise themselves at the expense of the whole community, but the rule was what he bad stated. He believed that Sir Robert Peel was fast losing his popularity. The Chartists no longer viewed him with favour, the Church party had never done so, and the great body of the Tories, if they . might judge by their own organs in the Press, entertained for him no great affection. The CHAIRMAN said he must be allowed to interrupt the speaker by reminding him that they were not assem bled for the purpose of discussing general politics. Their object was to obtain justice from that Government, or any other Government which might come into power. It was not desirable, he thought, to allude to the unpo pularity of the Government separately from this ques tion.—(Bear, hear.) Mr. M'LEon said he had concluded the observations which he intended to make. The CH AIR3IAN said he felt disinclined, as an indivi dual, to sit quietly under the imputation that they, as a body, would starve the people if they had it in their power.—(Hear, hear.) It did appear to him that that mode of speaking struck at the root of all public and pri vate morality.—(Hear, hear.) It was not the right way to state the matter. They should declare a wrong to be a wrong, an injustice to be an injustice ; they should never attempt to debate injustice, or to lower the stan dard of national morality, by acknowledging that cer tcer- tainunjust men were not worse than others , or tha t t h e y , if placed in the same position, would act, in a similar manner. He trusted it would not be the case with him self ; he believed there were hundreds and thousands of honest hearts who would never be guilty of such con duct.—(Cheers.) Mr. M‘LEop explained. The CHAIRMAN said, the meeting should not omit to observe the injury which was done to the entire Bench of Bishops. Would it be imagined for one moment that they would be guilty of such atrocious conduct. Mr. larso of Birmingham, believed that half the rr, manufacturers of that town had' been ruined by the Bread-tax-makers and bad legislation. Mr. Btacti, a Deputy from the shopkeepers or Me . chester, . next addressed the meeting. Re was 3 " of the Deputation appointed by the s keepers of Manchester to wait on Sir RoPert Peel, to state to. him the condition of the sits *P keepers and others of Manchester. That Deputatie directed a letter to Sir R. Peel, requesting an interview es in answer to which he stated, that such was the pressure of pal& business that it was impossible to fur nish the opportunity required. They had applied like wise to the Earl of Ripon, and they were to wait upon him at half-past twelve to-morrow. They had also Ap plied to their Members, Mr. M. Philips and Mr. lksvelner Gibson, and the latter had taken upon himself to being their case before the House of Commons this eveni, They had drawn up a petitiolt, which Mr. M. Gibs, - s!t would present to the House this evening. Ile begged to be understood that he did pot a pp ear at the in- stigation of the League, or 55 eletviug any connec tion with it. What he appeared w there for wus to state facts to the League, and to have those facts circulated through the Press. The Deputation of which he w as a mem b e r, had been to al parts of Deputation the town, an d t h e y h a d mu le i nq uiries of ina;eiduals in every species o f b us i ness . Th e y had asked their condi tion with reference to what it was in 1333 and 11PW ; and they bad stated that the falling off of their bum leEs was full a half, and that there was a falling off of tk sir profits full a half, upon that half amount of business.- - (Cheers.) Now. he had some statements to lay beforee the meeting with respect to a clothier, who had been in business sixteen years ; he had been in the finer parts of the trade, and he stated that his trade in 041 and 1842, was not halt' what it was in 1835 and 1836. „lie stated also, that the principal, and most p r ofitable parts of his business in 1835 and 1836, consia'.ed of trade with the working men, who used to comes with money in their hands to purchase cloth from him. and that they did not mind what they gave for it ; but . t tilt now he never saw a working man—(Hear, bear)—as. that now men of that kind never came to his shop.- - (Hear, hear.) The next individual they called upon was a grocer, s.hose shop was situated in what was con sidered one of the best situations in Manchester for tise, business he carried on. This individual had been hes business fifteen years. He did half the business now • that he did in 1835, and only one-third of what he did 1 in 1836 ; that his profits in 1839 were seven-and-a-half, but that in 1842 they were only three-and-a,-half, or four—(Hear, hear)—and that during the last five years he had made debts to the amount of 5001. Th - at on Saturdays formerly We sold goods to the amount of 501., and on other days in the week to the amount of 101., and that now he did not take on a Saturday 20/., and on die other days in the week not 41.—(Hear, hear.) That he employed now in his business three young men, the same as formerly, and thin he was losing every week in his business Si. Such was his stew after 15 or 16 years labour, that he was about to gather the wreck of 'his property together to purchase an as. nuity, and live in a cottage.—(Hear.) He stated furthes e that parties who had formerly bought several poune's of sugar, now came for ounces—(Hear, hear)- and t hey had the smallest quantity they possibly could buy of ,the other articles in which he dealt ; but notwithstanding & this, the shopkeepers were obliged to keep up the same, although they were losing by it. The next individual! to which he would allude was a bread-baker, who heed the next shop. He was in the best situation in then town ; he did the largest business in the town. He• stated the distress was lamentable. He knew families who formerly took from 4 to 6 loaves a week, now only took one ; and that where .he used to cut up one loaf, he now cut up 200.—(11ear, hear.) The consequence was, he had to employ a greater num ber of hands to do the same business, and his profits .were considerably less. The next person to whom he would allude was a grocer, who stated that he now sold halfpennyworth's of sugar, tea, and tobacco—(Hear)-- that it required a greater amount of labour to draw the same money, by two or three time, which they formerly used to employ. They found upon inquiry at the prove sion dealers, thew almost uniformly bore out this fact, that there had been a decrease of the consumption of cheese and bacon, and a greater consumption of oatmeal. —(Hear.) The next individual was an ironmonger. He should suppose he was the oldest manufacturer in Man chester. This party had not been' in business less than 30 or 40 years. This individual exhibited a re markable falling off in his business. There had been a regular falling off since 1837. In 1837 he stated his business as 80 ; in 1838 as 70 in 1839 us 50 ; in 1840 as 30 ; in 1841 as 27 ; andl in 1842 as 15.—(Hear.) He stated as a positive fact:, that almost all the iron-manufacturers in the large towns of Salford and Manchester, had been living out of their stocks for the last twelve months, owing to building ope rations being suspended. The next individual was in the respectable business of a flour-dealer and bread baker, and he stated that his trade had greatly fallen off. that he had made large and'bad debts, and that he had totally lost all confidence in the public as his customers. ilnother baker in another part of the town made similar statements with respect to the small quantity of bread he sold. He stated that individuals to whom he formerly sold two loaves now came for pounds—(Hear, hear)-- and he even often gave to the little boys and girls who came for the bread pieces to satsfy their hunger. The next case was that of a butcher, who stated that he had been fifteen years in business, that in 1835 he drew 80/. in a week, and in 1842 not more than thirty pounds. It might be asked in what kind of spirit the people bore the sufferings to which they were subjected. He was its possession of a document, which he was not at liberty to bring before the meeting, relating to the condition of the brokers of Manchester, which showed that parties in ple a large stock in their houses were actually starving. Those parties could not even relieve themselves by sell ing thew goods ; for when an auction for that purpose , was called it was mere dumb show. The auctioneer held up the goods for sale, but no bidding took place ; people were unable to buy them. There was one party possessed of stock to the amount of 4000/. and yet he was in such a state of poverty that lie could not meet trifling expenses of the most necessary kind. The people of Manchester bore this state of things very hardly. They seemed to be, as it were, preparing for some desperate movement. He did not throw out this as a threat. Nei man more regretted such a state of things than he did- The people could not bear to be ground to the dust. It was not to be expected that men of intelligence— men of skill, men of mind, and of independent feelings would quietly submit to a state of things which without any fault of their own, sunk them to the condition of a class beneath them—brought: them to a level with the labourer who sought employment, only to find them selves disappointed. And who were the men that found their position thus becoming lowered every day ? They were the men forming that class which supported Me chanics' Institutions, Lyceums, and Sunday schools—that class which formed an essentially religious, moral, and intelligent section of the community. This was the class which the operation of restrictive commercial laws were grinding down and depriving of that spirit which cha racterised the middle classes of England hitherto. Be need not tell them how opposed those restrictive laws were to the feelings of that class. It was not for him to propose a remedy for the dangerous position in which so influential a class of the community stood. He heard some persons in Manchester say that they would not consume any article front which Government de rived the means of carrying out their restrictive mea sures ; and he knew sufficient of the people of Man chester to feel assured that they would act up to their say iug in this respect. The CHAIRMAN said, that he had been requested to read the following letter from the Rev. 1)1.. Joseph Fletcher. It referred to a meeting held at a Chapel in Finsbury, on Friday last, and was printed in The Chris tian Examiner . My Dear Sir, —We have a Church-meeting on Friday, which will render it impossible for me to attend your public Conven tion. Most sincerely I sympathise with the object you have in view ; 1 trust you will be led to adept wise and well-adapted measures for its attainment. Were it in my power to render effective service I would gladly co-operate; but the pressure of immediate duties, and the frequent ill state of my health, render it necessary for me to live under great restrictions. I cannot bear continuous excitement. The times are indeed marked by unprecented calamity and suffering; and we s eem to be approaching - the state of things described by Tacttus. when we can bear "neither our evils nor their remedies." Conflicting interests and parties prevent the progress of true patriotism ; arid selfishness opposes humanity in innumerable forms. One thing, however, seems most evident, that what ever other causes of evil-working may be specified, as account ing for a large portion of our distresses, the gigantic and most monstrous evil is the operation of unrighteous lir.rs restricting our trade in corn and pro visions. Surely our present inf.tuated Government, self-con tradictory and suicidal in its policy, and rampant in its domi nation, by the very patience and forbearance of suffering mil lions, will at length yield that to necessity which they deny to justice. Fear is often more powerful than principle ; and if ever there were reason for apprehension, the present is the crisis. The Premier sees enough to prove that ignorance can not shield him from responsibility ; but he has neither the for titude nor the rectitude which ought to result from knowledge. In the meanwhile distress and misery are becoming most ex tended and appalling ; and I should like to sae such a plan of relief as would not even appear to be a scheme for supporting the present Administration, but so contribute to suffering humanity as to keep its prominent and principal causes before the public mind till political quackery shall be fully exposed and abandoned for ever. May God in his merciful providence deliver our country from its internal enemies—preserve us from anarchy and misrule—continue to us the mighty power of passive submission, that reason, and wisdom, and truth may ultimately subdue all opposition, and righteousness may prevail. e want not charity in this cause so much as justice. Be assured that I am, my dear Sir, yours truly, J. FLETCHER. Cottage Grove, Mile End, July 7, 1842. Mr. BRIGIIT said lie had been intrusted by the Com mittee with a resolution expressive of their sense of the urbanity and kindness of the Duke of Sussex, in receiving the deputation that had waited on him with a memorial to the them toger. lie re Queen, and e hoitssympathyialid th the t resolution he ob .e c s .jct u t t h i a o t n a ha called d s follows : That this Conference acknowledges the great kindness and urbanity with which his Royal Highness, the Duke of Sussex, received the deputation appointed_ to wait u p on hi m with the memorial to the Queen.
