tithe would not be determined by these oirenindeamp
alone. The soccer of the competition of waton with- other
fabric, in the market would remain to be settled by the
power of that invention and enterpriselehish have hitherto i
overcome the most formidable difilculties. Nor is your
committee at liberty to shut oat of imasideration the extra-
ordinary capacity which the home industry of England hadi
to absorb labour—nor the inevitable casualties attending
mama-ion—the waste of life during acclimatisation in un-
settled countries under hardship and privation—and the
oomparative want of adaptation of the factory population
to these grave risks. Though, therefore, your committee
feel that the true interesta of these districts are
.from a rate of wages sufficient to
the comfort, the iodependenee, and the
fatenigeoce of the cotton workmen, they do not oonsider
themselves able to determine with certainty that a large
=ion is now necswary to protect the uderests of the '
in these caveats. They are deliberately of opinion
that it is better, in the themes of such certainty, to leave
the extant of that emigration to be determined by the
wants of the colonies, and the intelligence of the workmen
in discerning their own interests. Any more positive inter.
forams should, in their opinion, be reserved until it is clear ;
that the cotton districts have a population which cannot
within a moderate period be profitably employed in the
manufacture, or absorbed in other work in these or other
remake of England ; or, until it is certain that these ;
results cannot be attained without a deterioration
in the physics' and moral condition of the port-
lation. Since the bat meeting of this committee, ,

But they had not been included
on the committees. The committee, however, had advised
from the first that clergy should be admitted, so that their
corepadanate view might be mingled with the badness
cspacities of others to work together for the general good of
the distressed. The argumeeta just modem of by the rev.
gentleman was all on the side of unreasocing confusion, and
contrary to the experience of the whole country. (Cheers.)
Boob remarks were calculated more than anything else to
diraulate disorderly persona, sad they were exactly that
upon which these recent disorders had been founded, sad
sow attempted to be justified. (Hear, hear.) The meeting
could therefore hold no parley with them ; no terms could
be made with them. (Applause.) The usaion hid like-
wise hem Mad whether two centres of ' were

to make remarks upon the oddest of another committee.
Nothing that bad fallen from the rev. geotleman'a lips
would induce thelocal authorities to desert their duties and
proceed upon an other basis of action than that hitherto
adopted. (A nee.)
Oolossel W. Atm, M.P., said that Si, J. Kay Shuttle-
worth having spent the previous week in the districts where
the disturbances had arisen, had only spoken as he felt when
he every endeavour to uphold riot and disorder in
the strong terms he had need. At the same time other
means might be used to endeavour to persuade the rev.
gentleman to take a different view. The clergy of that dis-
trict might be looked upon es being capable of giving great
amistance to the committee in the discharge of their
arduous duties ; and if the rev. gentleman could he per-
suaded to adopt a different some be (Colonel Attu)
should consider himself to be very fortunate. The real fact
was, that in the first instance the clergy were excluded
from the committee, and this had led them to take • hostile
view of the proceedings of any committee organised without
them. (Hear, hear.) It was much to he regretted they
had not taken a different course, and given to the committee
their Realms co-operation in carrying out the very difficult
task they bad to perform. This was the fiat time the rev.
gentleman opposite (Mr. Eager) bad attended a committee
meeting ; if he had been peseta at previous meetings he
would not have laid himself open in the manner he had
done, but would have seen that the whole of the ender
yours of the committee from the first had been to make as
liberal • distribution of the funds as they pos-
sibly could. (Applause.) What could the rev.
gentleman mean by saving _ that the committee
did not make liberal pante? Had not the rev. gentleman
seas the subscription lists lately, and that during the last
few months they bad been gradually going down, as if the
great generosity of the public was as tut seemingly ex-
hausting ? The fact was that for the previous seven
months the committee lid been getting 40,0001. •
week, whams lately they were only getting from 4,000/. to
6,000/. per week. Wu it then at each • time as this that
the rev. gentleman was recommending a larger distribution
'of grants? If that gentleman had attended previous meet-
ings, with all hie good feeling for the people amongst whom
he lived, instead of claiming larger grants from the com-
mittee, he would consider how be could distribute the money
in hand with the greatest prudence, looking at the dismal
future we have before as. The rev. gentleman would do •
peat service if, instead of telling his siongreption that the
committee were dealing with • mussily hand in the distri-
bution of their funds, he would tell them they were doing
the beat they possibly could for the benefit of all.
It was totally impossible that the committee, under
the present circumstances, could be more liberal
then they were at the present moment. (Hear, hear.)
The committee, it was to be hoped, were as charitable se
rev. gentlemen, but there was this difference, they had is-
spobilitias which the rev, gentleman knew nothing about.
It vas all very well for the rev. gentleman opposite (Mr.
Boger) to come from his own part* and say the committee
were dealing with • niggardly band when he was evidently
ignorant of the whole nature of the use that was before
him. The rev. gentleman should be cautious before be
stigmatised the committee as not being liberal.
Mr. JOHN CHLITHAN said that as a magistrate of Staly-
bridge, quite unconnected with the relief committee,
wished to offs? • few obeervatioos ; to side his belief NI to
the cause of these disturbances; sod to ix the responsi-
bilit them upon the penis' upon whom they should be
six The rev. gentleman had said that it was wall known
that the population of the Stalvbridp district was exceed.
tasty disorderly and riotous. (. Eager I said part
of it) lie (Mr. Cheethain) did not comer in that. Bat
he did know that in no other past of the mandate
taring district@ was there • person whose only occupation
Is life was to agitate and set dm against class, and who
had for the last few months been publicly seeking to un-
dermine the inflame and discredit the exertions of the '
Mist committee. He (Mr. Cheatham) was not surprised
that the cod of these labours should be scenes such as those
men* witnessed. The individual to whom he had re-
tested was one whom he would not name, u he was beneath
his contempt ; but when he (Mr. Cheatham) found there
were gentlemen holding the same position as Mr. Eager
who actually came forward to interfere and give their sym-
pathy to those who were creating these disturbances— (Mr.
No") when he found them laying entirely upon
Mrs relief committee the whole of these disturbances ;
ekes he found that notwithstanding the personal applies,
tics made by one of them, whom he deeply regretted was
mixed up with such a matter, and to whom he gave advice
which would have prevented any riot; when he found
that that advice was set made ; when he found
thin gentlemen's colleague going up to London,
aid 'sedum down a Women to has colleague in
the country, saying," The Lord Mayor has gives
us 6001. ; ticket. must not be accepted on any grounds
placard the walls, if neoesiary"—when he found this, what
was his responsibility ? If that gentleman's col-
league had Awarded the walls on that Tuesday
evening the ileota would have been mewed on the
following day, and he (Mr. Cheatham) should have laid,
and did lay, at the door of that rev. gentleman the respon-
sibility of what occurred and what might have cosorred.
These circumstances were too grave to be omitted. When
the distress became larger, after the formation of the diet
committee, the mayor called • meeting of all the alerpmei
and ministers of religion. Only four attended,
and tits rs-
solotioa pared was that there was not enough distaste le
form another committee. Another meeting was sakes-
, queerly called, and not • single clergyman or minister of
religion attended. The committee were therefore
obliged to form in the best way they could. That
nemittee had alwas acted from the purest motives,
sad from the sole desire to benefit those for
whose benefit they were formed. There was no resolu-
tion excluding clergymen or ministers of religion. What-
ever might have been the private and local disputes ; how-
ever clergymen or others might differ from the acts of the
local committees, their duty was to calm disturbances, sad
to have suggested to the classes to send • deputation to wait
upon the committee. If rumour were correct be had been
told that some time ago • deputatioa was appointed to wait
upon the committee; but by the advice sad inflame of
these three clergymen the deputation never waited upon
the committee. If that were true be laid all these dis-
graceful proceedings at the door of these three clergy-
man. (Hear, bear.)
The proceedings shortly afterwards terminated.

at the mud hos, sad warrant' were directed

.e for their appnimadow.

Is a ere of nOpeblicTrportence, it appeared that the
trade assignee bad received a sum of Lkil., and had vat
immediately paid it over to the seemureakgesersL
His Honour said that it ought to be karma by trade
emigres, that if they kept m bead more then 601. at say
an time, they were liable to pay iseenst at sper cent.
Mr. Lawrence laid it was highly drivable that the 00114110-
tios of the assets shookl be restored le the ofoael wigwam
As it was, solicitor, were made bankers, in rite of them
serve. If there was to be say more tiekering of the Bart-
replay Law, he hoped they ward make a good job of it at
once, sad radon to the Wird emigres the dates which
they bad discharged with so arm► arida/Mon.

IN BE TIDLON.—A MAD= It BUBBLE CONPANINB.
The bankrupt, described es of Canonbary-lane, Islington,
out of employ, applied for his ceder of discharge. He owes
to unsecured creditors 2,3471., besides liabilities of 1,2661...
His assets were returned at 3871. in good debts ; bad aad
doubtful debts, 6,4631.
The tsakrupt, in answer to the court, stated that him bad
debts arose from losses sustained by companies, chiefly life
imams) companies.
A gentleman, who represented the Profemional Life In-
surance Company, said that it bad been the practices of the
bankrupt to mix hinted, up with these bubble companies
to ceder to get the printing for them. This he bad dose,
aad bad never got paid for hia work. He returned as his
debtors the Constitutional Life Aseuranes Company for
not. ; the Protestant Life-office, 831. ; the Pithos of Wale.
501. ; the Era Lifeoffice, 47/. • the Atheneum
Life -office, 401. ; the Coedensed Coal Company,• the
Professional Lde Airtime' Company, 3871. ; the Bouth
Americo Company ; and the Treasury Aircrews Company.
Most of these companies ware in entree of winding up.
The Commissioner—Have all those debts been incurred
by printing the prospectuaes issued by thbee public com-
panies'
The bankrupt said that was so, and some were in respect
of calls on shares. He thought some of thp companies very
promising, and very sound and:good. (A laugh.)
The Commissioner—Whilst you have neglected to pay the
tradesmen who have trusted you, you have given your
time and labour to these bubble companies, md have got
aothiog for it.
It wsa stated that the bankrupt had been in pima. He
had been arrested for calla due to the Professional Life As.
surance Company.

-He may take his discharge.
MOBIL-008TP OP nowt

The bankrupts were cap manufacturers, of London-wall,
who recently failed, owing upwards of 30,0001. They were
presorted by the emigres for a conspiracy todefraud their
creditors, were found guilty, and were sentenced to a period
of impriaonment.
His Honour said be bad caused the aceignece in this car
—Mr. John Bagplley, Mr. Chadwick, and Mr. Lowrie—to
be sent far, in consequence of • communication which he
I had received from the Lord Chancellor in reference to the
'costa incurred in the prosecution of Braun and Mortar.
The Lord Chaneellor said that the costa in throe
matters had very much attracted his attention, and
it was important that they should be watched.
The costa in this case were of very large amount, 1,6001. or
1,7001., and when they came to ha taxed only 51. lls. was
*true off by the Master of the Crown office. This, regarded
r taxation, was simply ridiculous. But this so-called taxa-
tion was only attended by one sides the what*r whose bill
was under taxation ; it was a unilateral proceeding. This
ought to be remedie, and the Lord Cherellor had desired
that the matter should be referred back to the taxing-officer,
end that both sides should be represented. He (the com-
iniedoner) had therefore instructed a solicitor to watch the
ass on the part of the creditors—Mr. Bead, of Graham-
street., a gentleman in whom the court had the purest con-
fidence ; and be wished to know whether the assigner, as
representing the whole of the creditors, approved of this
arrangement. He was glad that the Lord Chancellor bed
taken this question of costs into his own hands, and in-
tended to watch it narrowly and closely.
Mr. Baggalley and Mr. Lowrie expressed the concurrence
of the assignees in the course proposed by his Honour, and
said that they should be wanting in their duty to the com-
mercial world at large, as well as to the creditors who bad
beau victimised, if they had in any way shrunk from carry-
ing on this prosecution. It had been takes up on public
alone, and the solicitors bad devoted great time and
undi
labour
to carrying it to a successful iisne. They bad but one
object from first to ler, to prevent the recurrence of such
nefarious proceedings ; and, with submission to the court,
they felt that the charges were right and neoserry.
The subject then dropped.

If RI It•ITIN.---" CRAM POR • PUNT."
The bankrupt was deowilied u of Fulham, and of Crane-
court, Fleet-street, editor of a periodical called "Change
for a Penny." This was the sitting for examination and
discharge. Debts 9191., of which MS/. were unsecured.
The bankrupt, in examination, stated he bad published
the Parlour Jammed and other periodicals. In 1861 be
I assigned the Parlour Journal to his creditors; they car-
ried it on for a while, but finding that they lost money, they
suggested that he should take it into his own hands again,
on paying them a composition of fa. in the pound. This
was done, and he had afterwards borrowed money to carry
on the journal in the hope that the repeal of the paper-
duty would improve its position.
Mr. Mackay, paper-maker, said that the bankrupt had
applied to them in November last for 100 reams of paper
for the Parlour Journal, which he represented to be a
paying property. Finding that be had arranged with
his creditors they declined to let him have more than 30
reams, and be then threatened them with an action for
breach of contract. (Laughter.)
Mr. Goodday said it appeared that the bankrupt bad com-
pounded with his creditors in 1861, and had afterwards con-
tracted debts of 4001. or 6001.
The Commissioner—What probaBle expectation had you
of paying those debts!
The bankrupt said he had anent 6,0001. on the Parlour
Journal and had been induced to keep it on in the expecta-
tion of its benefiting by the reduction of the paper duty,
but there were now too many periodicals of that class.
His Honour granted the order.

by the plaintiff ; and in August last year • servant who was
living in his service in December, 1861 (although this did
not appear in evidence), made two applications before the
magistrates for an uder of affiliation against him for the
rapport of a child of which she swore be was the father.
On the first occasiou he appeared by his attorney, sad on
the second personally, and then swore he had never had
sounexioo with her. The summons was dismissed, but on
the last occasion the girl employed Mr. Goody, • solicitor
at Sudbury ; and shortly after, on Tuesday, September 16,
that gentleman appeared before the bench at Boxford Petty
Seenoes as solicitor for the prosecution, when the prisoner
wee charged with the crime of feloniously shooting at the
MAO bees Reed, and was committed for trial to these
amass. On that 0061d011 Mr. Jones, solicitor, of Colchester,
appeared for the primer, and to-day instructed the learned
conned for his defence.
The prosecutor, base Reed, being called, said—ln De-
cember, 1861, I was living at Peaked. On the evening of
the 6th I was at the Shoulder of Mutton public-hones, and
left • little before 7. On pawing King Harry's Grove on
my way borne about the middle of the trove, I felt some
go through me, and immediately after beard the report
of a gun. I cried out, " Oh, pray God, res dud" I
dropped my stick, and as I came to myself I saw some all
person getting out of the ditch. I got to my own door and
fell down fainting. A doctor was sent for, who dressed my
wounds. I was confined to my bed some months. It wee
• very wet, dark night. I know the prisoner. In the April
preceding we had • difference about some pigs, and there ins
an action in the county court, and be beat ma.
The sent witness was John Holmes, who worked for the
prisoner in 1861, and till February, 1862. He said —On the
night in question I was at work for the prisoner, and saw
him leave the premises about 5 o'clock. He was dressed in
• long light coat which he usually wore, and went in the
direction of King Harry's Grove. I went home to tea, and
started to go for some dour to my brotherda.kw,
I went some distance, but it rained so hard 1 thought I
should wet my flour, so I turned hack. This was in the
road just before you get to King Harry's Grove. As I
turned the prisoner passed me within three yards. He had
on the same coat. He was gong towards King Harry's
Grove. He coughed, and I knew his cough. I did not
speak. I went to my work as usual next morning. I had
heard Reed was shot, and I said to him, " It's a pretty
shooting at Reel ;" and be said, " All moonshine,
• man couldn't see to shoot • man so dark • sight. He
couldn't see to shoot • cow, much lam a man." About a
month after I was up at liumphrey'i (the prisoner's) house,
and he gave me tome beer, and said, " They say I shot
Reed ; but I know ha was up at the Shoulder of Mutton
drinking along with his set ; they'll lay it ea Humphrey, u
he is a bad one ; but what would be the pod of my shooting
a man like that he his got no mousy. On another occa-
sion he wee on horseback, and called to me to my he should
want me to go into possession at Reed's bow, for he'd pull
the windows out but what he'd have him out, and as he
turned away I heard him my in • low voice, " him, I
wish I'd shot him dead, then be wouldn't have been all this
trouble."
This witness was severely cross-examined by Mr.
O'Malley, but adhered closely to his statement.
Four widows, were then celled who swore to seeing him
is the road &ear King Harry's Grove between six and seven
in the evening, and a potiosinas, to whom the prisoner had
