DELEGATE MEETING OF PROTECTIONISTS.

Yesterday the delegates deputed by the various
agricultural elleieliaa throughout the United Kingdom to
confer with the acting committee of the National Association
assembled at the offices of the association, South Sea Rom.
Several reports frosnagrimltural district*, as to the con-
dition of the ishabilanta, Gunmen, labourers, and others,
were read. It was stated also that is some districts—the
hoeing of wheats, hems, sad other farming crops, has been
suspended, because the fanners cannot pay for the lobos,.
Sims other preliminary benison having been disposed of,
the meeting aqourned to the Louden Tavern, where several
protectionist ordure, mime delivered.
lir. 0. P. TOI7NO, who, on the motion of Earl Stan
hoc., seconded by But Talbot, was called to the chair,
impressed epee those present his opinions. These he had
in sin &adzes' pre • usly declared to be, that tt a diseolutine
of parliament cannot now be remote, and may mu mash
ember than is generally imagined. If protection is to
triumph, probeetsonists must be prepared for the stragglea
direolutioa will bring. The two great points on 'hien pre-
paration is indispensable to miceses, are—doss and untiring
attention to the registration of 'Luton, and a timely who-
ties of fit and proper esedidatee. For the efficient per-
&emcee of the first of thus requisites, we earnestly eup
eseamend that, on your return to your respective aunties,
you should first, without delay, complete the organisation
of your districts; arranging, if possible, for the establish-
meet of a regular central society in each county or division,
with district committees in the principal market towns, as
suggested in the resolutions of the organisation ma
matte of this association on the 11th of February lase. Let
each committee, that, obtain lists of the registered electors
in every rine\ within the district, together with lists of
mum claiming to be placed on the register, and those to
whose °oedemata* thereon notice of objection has been
gives. Let them also carefully ascertain whether there be
any individuals of sound protectionist principles sot on the
register, on whose behalf claims for insertion may be made,
' or any persons of Tree-trade principles on the list, to whose
continuance epos it objection may be taken, and on whom
the necessary notion ought to be served. The in
formation obtained on these al points should be trans-
mitted by the district e-mmittess to the central society of
the county or division ; it will then be necessary fir that
central society to appoint an active and discreet professional
spat, to arrange all the proce•disge in legal for.., and to
attend personally the courts of the revising barrister, to pro-
I mote the claims and objections of which notice may have
been given. Lists of the registered electors of counties may
be vb-ained from the clerks of the pence 1.4 65., and the
expense of all requisite proceedings, which his usually been
I greatly easignated, will be found, as compared with the
benefits that may be reasonably anticipated, to be easily
trifling. When a dissolution takes place, the general dee-
' stun will, without doubt, immediately follow; and if indi-
viduals, poseening every qualification for the office of represen-
tatives, ere then first called on lomat forward as candidate',
I in necessary doubt as to the chum of success, the more
prudent will shrink front encountering the certainty of ex-
pense for an object of uncertain attainment, while those of
the higher and beet feelings will not expose themselves to
the probability of (what they would consider) the humilia-
tion of defeat. Nor, without previous concert can it be
expected that the support of se extensive and scattered
body of voters can be concentrated in favour of any indivi
deal, hastily brought forward, sad probably in opposition
to the previous" views end wishes of many whose moist-
ens" is of the highest importune. Hence, it may occur,
se it his freqeently done, that, though the principles of the
consti•uency are the mate, apathy or division is exhibited,
and the election is lost. To obviate this, as loon es possible
atter your return to your respective localities, a meeting
should be convened by each austral society, at the most can-
vecient place within the minty or division, which should be
atteaded by the chairman and deputy chairman of all eon-
muses within the same, and to which should be invited
all suck leading iadiv.duals favourable to protection, as
may be considered likely to take interest in an election,
and to induce* its results. At this meeting, some fit
and piper person or peruse, whether the sitting member
or members or otberwrae, ia wham favour it may be
supposed the support of the fleeters migbt be pubtely
united, should be agreed es. Application should then
be made to such individual, to allow himself to be an-
nounced se a candidate at the earliest opportunity, pro-
vided sect a requisition should be presented to him as
would afford • reasonable aesureace of success; and on his
consent, subject to such condition, a requistion to the Nl.
lowing effect should be drawn up, and copies sent to etch
district committee for them to obtain signatures within their
reap. we districts% —We, the undersigned regietered electors
of the county (es division) of . . . . having the fullest
reliance in your inflexible maintenance of the principles of just
protective to story British interest from the unrestricted com-
petitioa of the rodeos of foreign capital and labour, hereby
request you will allow yourself to be pat in nomination as a
candidate for the representation of this county (or division)
in parliament, whenever, by a die caution or ethernet'', a
vacancy may occur therein ; pledging ourselves, in the *
of your conosot, to um oar hest exertions to ensure your
return at the least possible expense. By the result of this
appeal to the ccustituescies, after it had been actively
worked, you will be enabled to calculate, almost with cur-
certainty, the probabilities of seems; and we are fully poi-
'owlet!. that, while it will have a powerful effect in influ-
encing the most valuable class of men to stand forward as
caediaates, it will in many instances avert a contest, by
showing beforehand to our opponents its Inutility; and
oven in cases where the appeal may prove that the supporters
of our cause are is a minority, the attempt will have been
valuable ; for. having afforded a proof that a contest would
ire unfavourable to our view', our Wends will be spied the
anxiety and expanse of an outlaw struggle. Each re quisi-
siMaist will, in every case, bee sere voter ; and the et/ors
my be continued with constantly increasing advantage, till
the moment of Man shall arrive for which, when thus
assured, you will be thoroughly prepared."

LONDON BOCIRET FOR THE PROTECTION or
Torun vw.u.—The fifteenth anairereiry festival adds
institution took place last evening at UN London Tavern,
Lord Itobort Grosvenor. in the chair. After the
usual loyal teems, " Sumer to the Lesion &misty for the
Protection of Young reensise " was proposed and drunk
with much enthusiasm. itappeared from the report of the
yes, ending 1841 that the Beard, at the last sanivereary,
reported that there were at that time 66 gltfe in the house
under its care, slam which time 20 bad been received, ma-
king a total of 66 ; 6 had bees restored to thifir friends, 11
seat to service, giving a total of 70 on the foundation at
the cleft of the year. 472 had been received mace the esta-
blishment of the bociety. Each girl, ea being sane to service,
was provided with clothe, • bible was given her, and 2s 6d.
for immediate um. If she mantis's' in her place, and main
Mined • good character for • month or six weeks, a new
frock, in addition to the clothing yrerionsly given to her was
presented. A gratuity of 11. per year was given to each
girl who conducted herself wall In service, and
woo could produce • testimonial of good character from her
sietrem. The Board was not only anxious about these young
people whilst they were in the institrition, but its
solicitude extended to them when they were mat away, and
it wee always gratified to learn that its Labours had not been
in vain. Through Piths Providence ell the children had
been preserved in health and hstrmony, and goad order had
generally prevailed, the inmates had been contented and
comparatively happy, loving their matrons, and rendering
a cheerful obedience to the rules. sod discipline of the estab-
lishment. No work was dens in the mylons, except what
the home furnished, and the utmost care is taken that all
should be industriously employed. No girl was removed
from the Asylum (except under peculiar ciscuenstacces),
until she was fully qualified to mu: open the duties of a
domestic servant. During the year, smarm' females above
the age of fifteen hail bees reesommended to other
Mari tattoos, and many under that age had been
mat by kindred societies to this charity. Thus
the benefits of cc-operation had been felt and acknowledged.
The punishment of abettors was also strictly attended to.
The report stated that no less than 326 infamous houses had
been aupprisseJ, and 470 females under fifteen ),'are of age
saved from rain by means of the society. It had thou under

Forty additional inmates could be moo= modated at the esyluos

the iiebteriptions had amounted to nearly 1.

The CHAIRMAN, in opesiag the proceedings, said he
mast always feel it to be • satiehtetios to be calm upon to
puerile over the annual meeting of this society. He had
always food by experience that all possible informations
upon these oemaloos was so fully and so ably conveyed in
tatimest of the society's proceedings. that very little n-
ix the chairman to say in commencing the business
of the rist. With referents., however, to • more general view
of the le obi question which must on all such occasions ec-
ologists attention of those present, he confessed there were
eireamtances In the present complexion of the times, is the
esodidan of those masses of the people upon whom
edualise and religions instruction were intendtd to operate
—yid& Wooed hint M avail himself of any opportunity to

dispesiMena of the day. Society at large, notwithstanding

ems, to hunt. be still labouring ander evils which
he
_portray by no epithet short of terrific. (Hoer,
hear.) Them symptoms assumed a hundred forms and pu-
lsated themselves In • hundred different ways; but perhaps
they 'night be roughly classed under the general heads of
iporaese, poverty, sad mime. These, notwithstanding the
more cheering prospects which cemionally might break
through the moral sad social "loads, still a to
him to be the pale seed navaacieg forms which stalk
around the amp of the gospel. (Hear, hear.) He looked
spot it to be the true and paramount minion of individuals
se well as of corporate bodies, to urge incessant war against
the enrih which still disturb and desolate the globe. To do
this was the real motion of christian men and the "spume
I glory of Seriatim churches. (Cheers.) Then the question
putesated Itself—To what extent were they fulfilling tut
end) He believed that although their &milli :al might be
partially mimed spot them subjects, they were too fre-
quently led away by trivial and sometimes unchatitable dif-
fuses:ice, which could not tend to any practical issue—
differences which showed • jealous excinsioa or a
vexatious wronging of themselves and each other,
instead of a hearty wlek to combine together
for one memos purpose. (Cheers.) Now in his opinion
:rut& of those charges did not lie at the door of any per-
church or denossieation, but in some degree to in-
flames and infect them all. At one time the charge was,
that some church or denomination, or some party or section
is it, omit to teach a truth ; at another time, that they inter
plats or gloss. At one period they were told that
they were unduly straining the reins of authority
at another that they were opening the door to a dan-
gerous license. If they joined with such • party, or with
such a person, they were told that they were eenfounding
truth and error; and if they receivtd assistance from such a
quarter, they were accustd of touching the " unclean
teas"
The 81ICILITAILT then read the report of the committee,
which detailed at great length the various operatic'ca of the
'society at home and abroad. Amongst other things it stated
" l'he model schools coati us full, and exercise a beneficial
influenca in the neighbourhood. Upwards of 1,000 children
are in daily attendance. 60,986 have been under instruction
since they were opened. 13 pupil teachers are apprenticed
in the boy's school, and Bin the girl's school. The normal
schools arc prospering ; 142 students have been under in-
struction diaries the year. D.fficulty is experienced in ob-
taining an 'digitate number of qualified men 132 fegia'e
teachers have been under training during the year. 72 new
schools, for 7,000 children, have been opened during the
year. 60 schools hive een temporarily supplied with
teachers. 166 schools have been permanently supplied.
339 towns and villages have been visited and i
41 public meetings have been held. The schools in
Loudon and throughout the country have been regularly
inspected ; 104 grants of school material have been made,
either to schools at home or in the colonies. The connexion
exiting between the society and the committee of council
has worked well. No interference or control of any kind has
been attempted. Prejudices ate in many quarters giving
way. The nport then proceeded to point out the import.
ance of moral training, which it was stated depended not on
any particular plan or system, but on a proper selection of
teachers. The committal were glad to observe that •
gradual improvement was new taking place in the position
and character of the teachers. The financial petition of the
society greatly needs improvement, although many en-
entraps( indicattogs are recognised. The report concludte
by an earnest appeal for enlarged sad liberal support."
The adop ion of the report (which was moved by Mr.
Josue Asti, Siturn, M.P., gad seconded by the Rev. Ono.
Slum) [tsetse been unanimously agreed to, the following
resolutions were parsed :
" That this meeting, fully persuaded that misery and vies
are fearfully promred by ignorance and irreligion, rejoices
in the increased attention now given to the saiptural •iuce-
tion of the poor, and trusts that a cause so identified with the
beat interests oisociety will be sustained and promoted with
• firm hand and increasing seed"
" That this meeting desires met respectfully to acknow-
ledge the continued femur and patronage of her Majesty the
Queen and of his Royal Highness Prince Albert."
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting
separated.

THE

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS.

MANCHESTER, MAY 6.
Another Wesleyan methodist minister in this
neighbourhood, las been found guilty of attempting to pro-
mote reform in that body, and is virtually expelled. The
gentleman in question is Mr. Henry Wilson, a local
preacher in the filth Manchester circuit. The trial took
place on Saturday evening, and Mr. Wilson was cited by a
notice, of which the following is a copy:—
"Lime Grove View, May 1, 1850. My dear Brother,—
As you decline any further interview with me on the subject
of ear late conv.rsation I have thought it my duty to
summon a special meats; of the local preachers to be held
nest Saturday afternoon. at 4 o'clock, in Oxford road Vestry.
to consider your ease. You will be then charged with at.
tending and taking a public part in a' reform' meeting held
in the It.. trade hall on the sth of April last. I remain,
yours truly, 0. Ossoarin "
As will be peen, Mr. Wilson was not summoned is the
metal lona before a meeting of the "leaden," but before a
meeting of " local preachers ;" and this course is supposed
to have been in consequence of a resolution, passed at the
Pm Trade Hall meeting, having stated that the local
poachers had a sympathy with the reform movement. The
EAT. George Osborne himself, as superintendent of the dia-
triet, took the chair • and his colleagues present were the
Rev. Allred Barrett chair;
the Rev. Samuel Wilkinson. There

were 24 local preachers present besides Mr. Wiltion,;neithls
coastituted the court. Mr. Osborae spoke at great length
in support of the coulee he had takes, and then,
in substantiation of the chars., produced three
newspapers containing reports of the meeting, at
the Free Trade 11 on the 6th April, for Wesleyaa rotors'.
The papers wen—the Wesleyan Tine., the Manchester
Examiner, and the Manchester Spectator. He was proceed-
ing to read the peat Mr. Waken took is the meeting from
the Wesleyee Ti...,, but Mr. Wilson objected, that he had
in his speech galled that paper a "lying' paper, mad " not
worthy of credit;" and upon this It was laid aside. The
report was theft read from the two Manchester papas; but
it so happened that one made Mr. Wilson move a resoL jettioo
and the other said he seconded it; and Mr. Wilson o
to this as evidence. Mr. Osborne this sailed • Mr. C=t,
a travelling stationer, to prove the charge. The wits's*
said ha was present at the meeting, sad heard Mr. Wilson
move the resolution, but he could aot reeollect the date of
the meeting. This, as they say in spurts of law, was the
evidence to go to the jury ; and after • discuesion, which
lasted till 9 o'clock in the evening, Mr. Osborne, as judge,
put th. question to the meeting, via., whether or sot Mr.
Wilson was present at the meeting on the 6th of April. The
chairman's two colleagues, and seven local preachers, were of
opinion that the defendant was Melte meeting in question, and
the other 16 local preachers abstained from voting. The chair-
nese said this wassufficient, and be then adjourned the meet-
ing to Saturday .it, when ha sill par sentence, unless Mr.
Wilson should in the meantime express contrition. The de-
feadant, however, so far from doing so, advised an immediate
sentence, observing that be was more deeply impressd than
ever with the necessity of a refornt,and should not retract
his views. Of course this, however, was unheeded. The
trial is uid to here caused a greet deal of dissatisfaction
among the local preachers generally, and from a circular
which is about to he issued, it is likely they will enter a pro-
test against Mr.,oaborne's unusual proceedioge.
