This society, which of late has been so frequently before
the public, and whose "sayings and doings" have created any-
thing but a favourable impression on the minds of
.those who
are, as members of the working classes, most anxious that that
body should " take the management of their own affairs into
their own hands," and thus adopt the advice given them years
ago by the late Sir Robert Peel, last evening again held a
public meeting of its members, for the same purpose as the
last, namely, for electing officers from their own body, to con-
duct the affairs of the society. The last meeting, as our readers
will be aware, was deemed necessary, from the disgraceful and
uprorious conduct displayed at the meeting convened on the
21st of the last month, the records of which were published
in this journal of the following day. Those proceedings led to
another application to the County Court Judge, J. Pollock,
Esq., who expressed the deep regret he felt, tint such a scene
should have been enacted, and at the same time emphatically
declared his full determination, if they would not at once
pursue the course they should do, lie was fully determined,
rather than see such an important society fall to decay, to
to enforce the powers which he possessad under the act of par-
liament, which was tantamount to saying that he would
take the entire control of its management from the members
into his own hands. The meeting of last evening eclipsed, if
it were possible, the former display of violent and disgraceful
conduct on the part of those who had assembled at the
previous meeting, to give even a slight sketch of which would
defy the pen of the most graphic writers of the age. Before
the hour for which the meeting was convened, the room in the
Queen's Hall, Bold-street, was well filled. In one corner
were placed the females connected with the association, and
amongst whom we observed many of those whose demeanour
was so disreputable at the last meeting, and whose
behaviour on the present occasion was equally violent,
and had the same effects—that of breaking up the meeting
without any definitive result being arrived at. Shortly after
seven o'clock loud cries of " time, time," issued from all parts
of the meeting, upon which Mr. Moses Cullen, the late presi-
dent, came upon the platform, and was received with much
applause, the women waving their bandkeichiefs with the
greatest enthusiasm. He was immediately followed by T.
Martin, Esq., and F. Hull, Esq., the .solicitors for the late
office bearers and for the investigation committee, each of whom
receiard a due acknowledgment. These being the only persons
admitted on the platform, with the exception of the press, Mr.
Cullen took the chair amidst hisses, groans, cheers, and an
indescribable scene of confusion. Si:ence having, its some
little degree, been obtained, he said ' that the present
meeting is summoned for the purpose of doing some business, on
account of the annual meeting having been postponed because
we could not do any. (Cries of " sit down," applause, and
hisses.) I think we can get through with the business to night.
(Confusion.) Ido hope and trust that this meeting will keep
themselves, what I know them to be, respectable—(cheers)—
and if so, we shall retrieve what we have gone back. I do hope
that you will give all persons a fair hearing as far as time will
allow them to speak. This is all I wish. If we do so, we
shall be able to clear up any differences that may exist, and it
may lead to our going on in unanimity. Tho first thing
you have to do will be to elect a chairman to
preside over you this night. (Cries of "We won't have
Cullen," and great uproar.) And lam waiting to hear the
name of any person that may be proposed.—Mr. Mfr Fat lane
here came forward and mounted the platform erected for
the speakers to address the meeting, but from the noise and
disturbance in the body of the hall, it was utterly. impossible
to bear what he really did say, beyond the words that the time
was come when they must act, and that consequently he would
propose that Mr. Geo.' Thompson should take the chair for the
evening. (This announcement was received with the greatest
amount of yells, cheers, hisses, groans, and confusion that ever
eminated from an assemblage of human beings. Bur one voice
shouted out, and that was a female, from the body of the hall,
"I will seeorld that, old' Cullen.")—Mr. Shepherd next came
forward. By his friends he was received with the greatest
enthusiasm, hats and handkerchiefs flying about in wild
confusion for some time, but no sooner had that subsided,
than his opponents yelled and shouted —" Down with
it Shep-
herd," and made such other discordant noises, that _ was a
long time before he could gain a hearing. Mr. Shepherd was
understood to say, that it was his intention to move an
amendment to the last proposition, and his reason for
doing so was, that they might have the business,
which was of importance, . conducted fairly and
honestly. (Cheers, hisses, and groans.) They were all
perfectly aware that; at the last meeting, T, Martin, Esq..
wou d have done justice to all parties—(cheers, and hear, hear)
—if he had been allowed. Why was ho not allowed ?
Because some parties were determined not to hear what was
said. He hoped that, on this occasion, both parties would be
heard, if it could be said there were two parties, when all their
interests were identical.—A Voice : " Shut him up. He will
go on talking for six, months."—Mr. Shepherd : He is one
of the. defaulters, let him alone.—Mr. Cullen : That is a
personal observation ; I will not have anypersonalities used here.
Mr. Shepherd ought to be removed, for he will only interrupt
the business. (Loud cries of "Turn him out," and "Sick
Cullen out of the chair," with other observations equally as
emphatic.)—Mr. Shepherd : I have a wish to ,propose—(a
voice : " We have had enough of speech making for the last
six months; cut it short; speak to the point." Here much
disturbance again ensued amongst the female portion of the
assembly. This lead to a cry of "Turn those women out, and
we shall then be quiet.") Mr. Shepherd then went on to say
that he should propose that Mr. Martin take the chair for the
evening, and he hoped that the motion would be fairly and
and legally put to the meeting, that justice might be done to
that gentleman, who, he knew, would do justice to all.
(Applause and hisses.)—Mr. James Smith, amidst great confu-
sion, Seconded the amendment.—Mr. Cullen then called for a
show of hands. He said lie would put the amendment first,
and called upon those who were in favour of Mr. Martin
taking the chair' for the night to hold up one hand,
and afterwards he should ask those who were in
favou'r of Mr. Thompson taking the chair to do the
same. .A show of hands then took place, and was decidedly in
favour of Mr. Martin, being the president for the evening.
This, however, was not deemed conclusive by either parties,
and loud cries were heard from all quarters to divide the room.
After much disturbance this course was adopted. The room
was partially divided, but the confusion was so great that it
was impossible to decide with any degree of ascuracy on which
side was the majority, but Mr. Cullen called upon Mr. G.
Thompson to take the chair, which he did, but amidst a scene
that beggars all description.—This confusion continued, when
the Secretary came forward and commenced reading the balance
sheet, not a word of which could be heard by any person,
except the reporter of a contemporary (who had promised to
give a good report of the meeting in his Saturday's publication)
into whose ears each item was addressed, but he was
soon stopped by the two solicitors, who had been
requested to conduct the meeting, interferiug, and saving
that no bnsiness could be carried onamidst such
confusion.—Mr. Shepherd, Mr. M'Phillips, and several other
perms protested against the legality of the proceedings.—Mr.
Hull then attempted to obtain a hearing. After a considerable
lapse of time, he was just heard to say, the first thing you
have to do is to elect a chairman, and if you do not do that, no
business can be done. You have not agreed who is to be
your chairman. (Great confusion, and cries of "we have,"
and groans, cheers, and hisses.) Finding it utterly im-
possible to obtain a hearing, .he resumed his seat. For
about half an hour the room was a perfect Babel. Every
conceiveable 'attempt was made to obtain a hearing, but
without any result, and at last Mr. Martin and Mr. Hull, the
two solicitors, expressed their determination to put an end to
the meeting. They then retired. and with them most of the
meeting. If any proceedings were taken after the meeting
thus concluded, they will be upset by the proceedings which
will be taken in the County Court on Monday next.

POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY.

(BEFORE MR. MAXWELL

ALLEGED ROBBERY ON THE HIGH SEAS.—John Clarke
was charged by John Limes,with robbing him of a twenty
dollar gold piece, and a variety of English money, on the
high seas. Mr. Bluck was for the prisoner, and said he
had a good defence on the merits of the case, but he
would first object to the jurisdiction of the court, as the
alleged robbery took place in an American ship, and
therefore his Worship could not deal with the case.
His worship, agreeing in the objection, discharged the
prisoner. Mr. Illuck declared that his client would
bring an action for false imprisonment, as he had been
very badly treated.
VIOLENT STREET ROBBERY.—How NAMES GET IN THE
PAPERS,—William Barlow, a notorious thief, was brought
up in custody of officer 301, on a charge of being con-
cerned in a robbery on the previous night in Back Castle-
street. Mr. Dodd appeared for the prisoner ; and the
charge was preferred by a gentlemanly looking 'person,
whose name was entered on the charge sheet as James
Phelan ; and he alleged that he was robbed of a £2O
note, a £6O bill, and two £1 notes of the Bank of Ire.
land. He was asked what he was, when he replied, he did
not wish that his name should get into the papers, as his
friends would think bad of it as they were Very respect-
able,-
it would probably injure him.
said : This is a public court, and therefMorer. w scannot
interfere with the Press, so you must tell where you
reside. Mr, Phelan said he was in business in the United
States. He went on to state, that lie met a woman in
Back Castle-street, who detained him for a short time,
and seized him about the body, and in an instant he
missed his purse which contained the money, and lie
called " watch," atgi then the woman ran away. The
officer said he saw the prisoner and the woman at the
corner of the street, just as the complainant called
" watch," and then the prisoner cried cut to the woman,
" cut, cut," and both separated. He told the gentleman
to run one way and seize the woman, whilst he ran the
other. He ran to the corner of the street and caught the
prisoner, but the woman got away up Brunswick. street.
Inspector Murphy said the woman and the prisoner were
well known to the police, and lived together, and if the
prisoner was remanded, the police would be able to take
the woman, and produce further evidence against th e
prisoner. Mr. Dodd objected to a remand, on the ground
that the evidence was not sufficient; but his Worship
remanded the prisoner to this day.

STEALING TEA..—John Drummond, who was remanded
on a charge of stealing a quantity of tea, belonging to
Peach, Brothers and Winch, was brought up. Mr. Bluck
defended the prisoner. The facts of the casejappeared g

A DANGEROUS MAN.—A person of rather respectable
appearance, named Walton Griffith, was, charged by
ThOmas James Patton, who said he was passing
along Lord Nelson-street about half past eleven
o'clock on the previous night, when :he was
accosted by the prisoner, whom he had not befora seen;
he said, " it's a fine night," "it is," replied the com-
plainant, and at the same time the Prisoner raised his'
hand, as if about to strike witness, he put up his hand
to protect himself, when the prisoner drew a knife
across his band, which was cut in consequence. The
prisoner then ran after two girls with the knife, the,
witness followed him into London-road, anal after a good
deal of trouble, he found a police officer in Monument-
place, to whoa) he gave the prisoner into custody. The
prisoner said he did not remember any thing about the
affair, being drunk. Mr. Mansfield said the conduct of
the prosecutor was very praisworthy, whilst that of the
prisoner was most outrageous. He would file him £5,
or in default of payment, two months' imprisonment,
and if the fine was paid, £1 to be given to the prose-
cutor.

CAUTION TO CARTERS.—MichaeI Everty, the driver of
cart 1,552,. was charged by John Crosthwaite, Esq., one
of the borough magistrates, who said he saw the prisoner
with his cart in Tithbarn-street, the horse was standing
quiet, when the prisoner struck the animal a violent
blow on the mouth with the butt end of his whip,
which caused the animal to bleed profusely. Ho told
the deiendant he would fine him fo, his brut wh,.a
he said he could not befined, and therefore he nrought
the case forward, in order to show that such bzutality
by carmen towards horses, could not pass with impunity-
The defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was in a
great passion with the horse. Mr, Crosthwaite said the
horse was standing quietly, so there was no occasion to,
be in a passion with it. The- defendant was fin.d lOsk
and costs.

(BEFORE MP. GLADSTONE.)

THE GREAT ORANGE CASE.--This "great csse'' was fo
have been gone into yesterday, and Mr. M‘Gowan and
Mr. Aspinall, (solicitors), were in attendance ; but the
latter applied again for an adjournment, in conseglen,'e

necessary. After some discussion, Cie case was agaill
adjourned to this day fortnight,

REFUSING TO WORK.--Thomas Radcliffe, E6ward
Fearon, John Buck, and William Conway, four 'Appren-
tices in the employ of Messrs. Seddon, Son and. Garrott,
ship-builders, were charged with neglecting to perform
their work. Mr. Martin appeared for the prosecutors,
and, from his statement, it appeared that the boys re-.
fused to do the work, on the ground that they were
entitted to payment for overtime: This was dispated.hy
the masters; but, if the boys returned to their work/
they would be forgiven. After some time they agreed to
do so, and were discharged.
