MEETING OF WORKING MEN,

A meeting of the working classes- was held in St.
George's -Hall, last night, to hear addresses on the sub-
ject of Social Science. The large. hall was crowded in
every part. The Mayor of Bradford (Henry Brown,
Esq.,) occupied the chair, and amongst those upon the
platform were—Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Radstock, Lord
Brougham, Viscount Raynham, Mr. M. Manes Mr. F.
Crossley, M.P., Mr. Titus Salt, M.P., the Right Hon.
W. Cowper, M.P., the Right Hon. C. B. Napier, Mr.
W. Chambers, Sze.
The Chairman briefly opened the" proceedings, and
called upon Mr. Adderly to address the meeting.
Mr. Adderley commenced his address by asking if
they were not all, both the higher and the working
classes, equally interested in the subject which had
brought the association to Bradford ? If they looked
through the list of subjects—the amendment of the law,
education, the reformation of criminals, public health,
social economy—in which of these subjects were the
higher classes interested and the working classes not inter-
ested ? We were all praisers of work, but there was a dif-
ference between the praisers and the doers of work. He
did not know the time, or place, or nation, or philosophy,
.in which the energy of labour was not commended,
and the pleasure of indolence condemned. But it
was one thing to condemn a thing, and another thing
to forsake it. It was one thing to commend, and
another thing to follow. (Hear, hear.) He under-
stood, indeed he read, that certain cynics, perhaps
critics, said that the members of Parliament went about
the country at this time of year, harrangued every
audience they could find to listen to them, and preached
more than they could find to listen to them, and
preached more than they practised. He thought that
if any association 'could present itself before the work-
ing men of Bradford with less chance than another
of- this criticism being hurled at their heads, it was
their association, whose permanent praident was a man
.who had both preached and practised, and whose name
was connected with every practical work of reform during
his long life. (Cheers.) The president for the year,
Lord Shaftesbury, was a man whose public eloquence in
the cause of the working men was- only an expression Of
his private life, equally laborious in the same cause.
The fact was, that the—different-position in society
and the different classes in the community alike were
actually the very mode and means. of _ uniting them
together. God had ordered that. some men should
work with their hands, and some with . their heads,
and had distributed the work among different classes,
with the one sole object to make all man necessary to
each other. (Cheers.) The screw and the nut did
not fit because they were alike, but because they
were the reverse the one of the other. (Cheers.) He
hoped they were not all " screws "—(laughter),—nor
half of them; but certainly no two screws put together
could do any work at all. They had all different work
to do ; but the variety was no variety at all compared
with the sameness of the end they had all in view. In
that same end and that-same work he hoped they might
all feel confidence in each other, resolved that the right
work of all was to serve one another. (Cheers.)
Lord Radstock next addressed the meeting. He
re-
viewed briefly the live departments of the association,
and then went on to say that the . factory operatives of
this kingdom earned £20,000,000 a-year. Notwithstand-
ing this, there was much destitution and misery, and the
reason was unquestionably improvidence. If each of these
operatives were only to lay by 4d. per week, that would
realise half st million annually, which would be sufficient
to provide against all the destitution and distress which
existed. He then alluded to the 'United States, which
had been considered a paradise for the working classes,
and said he could state from observation that that land
did not afford any greater amount of happiness than was
to be found in Old England. (Cheers.) The taxation
in New York, at least, was heavy ; and a gentleman
with whom he stayed there six months ago said that his
taxation amounted to 28 per cent. nn his income.
(Applause.)
The meeting was afterwards addressed by other
speakers, and the proceedings terminated about ten
o'clock.

HANTS AND WILTS ADULT EDUCATION

SOCIETY.

THE BOOK-HAWKING ENTERPRISE,

The fifth annual meeting of this associaticm took
place last week in the Winchester Mechanics' Insti-
tute, the chair being occupied by Lord Viscount Evers-
ley. The proceedings of the meeting embraced the
general topics which are hcluded in the routine of
Mechanics' Institutes, and these were discussed at con-
, siderable length. Besides theSe, however, several other
subjects were introduced and dilated on by the different
speakers.
' Prominent among these were the general arrange-
ments for education amour, the operative and artizan
classes. To this succeeded an interesting discussion on
the subject of

The Rev. N. J. Risi
do
IT; -
ir(or I.lKoiNllain:gton House) intro-
duced this subject in an elaborate address. He said he
would first call attention to the subject by alluding to
-its name, and he begged to remark that in its name a
good deal was implied, involving, as it should, the
very essence of the work. In France, the colportage
and colporteurs might describe the Bible distribution
which had been there so ably carried on, and the
same might be said as to the great work in America.
The title varied by the term " book agents" might
give a correct apprehension of the Scotch Religious
Tract and Book Society, established in 1789. But,
excellent and valuable as all these various under-
takings were, and expressive as might be their several
designations, yet none of them could be identified with
the- operations of similar nature in England, nor did
their titles describe the English work. 'heir system of
agencies, if adopted here, would interfere with our
valuable parochial system.. (Hear.) Book-hawking
(proceeded the rev. gentleman) was the work wanted
for England, and it was now gradually becoming sys-
tematised among them, and to " Book-hawking," as the
straightforward expressive English name for it, let them
keep. By book-hawking was not meant circulating
a stock of tracts or religious books alone, much less
of religious books bearing any particular party's stamp,
but offering for ,sele at every house in each parish
works of all kinds free from objectionable tendency, and
so selected that every description of reader be able to
find in the collection something that might add to his
stock of knowledge or give him rational amusement in a
leisure hour. The great variety of books which a care-
ful selection would allow an association to have in stock
was an important advantage, giving to the hawker's
pack a better choke than many a bookseller's counter
presented, especially if a liberal confidence be placed
in those making the selection. The speaker related an
anecdote of an occurrence a few months back in "a thinly
populated district. One of the society's hawkers fell in
with a man travelling the country with a cart full of
all sorts of goods, including books for sale among
the poor people. The men began to compare notes, and
presently the man with the cart said to the society's
agent " This is all very well, but yours are not the right
sort of books." Then says the agent, " what books
are the right sort ? "-whereupon the man exhibited to
him his stock, saying " these are the things to sell."
These books included a number of very bad publica-
tions, one, in particular, being known as a book of the
most corrupting nature ever printed in the English lan-
guage. The society's book-hawking system became a
necessity as an agent of adult education. :It was wanted
as an aggressive agency, to counteract the issues from the
irreligious press ; to combat a real enemy whose armies
had too long held the field unopposed. The aggressive
character of the agency must not be dropped, for
the emissaries of evil would not wholly disappear ;
though their trade was now an uncertain one, yet it was
too profitable to be altogether relinquished. Their
book-hawker's pack furnished reading for the million
calculated to interest the mind, refresh the spirits, edu-
cate the conscience, and by God's grace, help the soul
towards Heaven. Therefore, (was it too much to say)
the agencies of their society were as necessary for every
county as night schools for every parish. The society
took up as its proper objects of attention those ceasing
to attend the elementary school, and engaged in indus-
trial occupations; those who, having learnt to read, wished
to have their taste of reading kept up by evening classes
and lectures. Their education having given them an
intellectual appetite, how was that to be furnished with
healthy food? The great bulk of those living in coun-
try parishes seldom visited a town, and when they did
they thought little of making provision for future
leisure hours at home. Aud the lending library only in
part met the want. What can then come in better at
this point, than book-hawking to help in carrying on
education. The hawker, a man of the working-class
himself, and on equal terms with the . cottager—one in
whom, after a visit or two, they can feel confidence—
comes into the village with a stock of carefully selected
and low-priced readable books, and offers at the cottage
door, at the roadside, in the farm-yard, in the hay-field;
—the very food that is wanted. He can give some account
of the contents of his pack, and will not hurry the
people in making their choice. All the excellent edu-
cational projects were not suited equally for all districts,
and for a scattered country.population the book-hawking
system seemed to be the only mode of supplying sound
and useful literature, whereby to prevent previous educa-
tion from becoming a dead letter. • In cities they could
have Mechanics' Institutes, in towns working men's
reading rooms, but in the country they could not often
obtain these. Where the population cannot come to
us, we must go to them, and the book-hawker would
be found a valuable medium for diffusing useful know-
ledge. The success of the system had far exceeded
the expectations of even its most sanguine advocates,
as well in respect of the amount of sales as, in effecting
those sales at the hands of the classes whom it was
especially wished to reach. To quote from the most
recent reports, one society'which in its first year, with
one hawker, received by sales £ll4, had` this last year
received, with two hawkers, £504. Another, with one
hawker, had increased the weekly average of sales by
103. ; and a third, with one hawker amongst a pcpala-
tion of 57,000, had taken an average of 17s. a day. In
North Hants the hawkers had reached £5 ss. per week,
or 17s. 6d. per day, and in no districts had there been
any falling off. In one district; with a hawker, the sales
of bibles last year reached 833,- and 1,280 prayer-books;
a great number of the former were large-type family bibles.
In another, the increased sale of books, at and under 6d.
each, amounted to 1,178 ; and in the same district the
largest sale of any one book (except bibles and prayers),
was for " Wood's Common Objects of the Country," a
shilling volume, and of this fifty-nine copies were sold.
The great proportion of the books sold in North Hants
were at low prices, indicating beyond a doubt the class
of customers. The receipts of the hawker came
principally from the cottagers, and very little from
the gentry. On this head- the rev. gentleman said he
must refer persons wishing further information to a
pamphlet written by the Rev. H. Bunsen, and to
the annual report of the Church of England Book-
hawking Union, which contained much interesting
matter collected from the reports and returns sent in from
different parts. The book-hawking system had now
out-lived the objeetion of its being injurious to the
regular bookseller ; it had never -fallen to his (Mr.
Ridley's) lot to receive other than kind co-operation and
hearty friendliness from the trade; they openly acknow-
ledged that book-hawking gave a very. useful impetus
to the
.publishing and bookselling biismesses ; indeed,
the subscriptions and donations to these associations
might be regarded as- so much capital invested in the
creation of a taste for reading, of which the regular
bookseller would be sure to reap the benefit. The
chief omen of the London bookselling trade, called the
Bookseller, had spoken very favouraly of the Book-
hawking Union; and the.. Literary Churchman,
,in an
article on the subject, said :—" We recognise book-
hawking as a fellow-labourer with ourselves in the Cause
of religious literature; we believe that the circulation
of good books might be increased a thousand fold if.
there were greater means of introducing them to the
working classes." In conclusion, Mr. Ridley said he
left the subject with the meeting for discussion, com-
mending it as an aggressive agency, needed to supple-
ment their educational efforts, and calculated to promote
the happiness of English homes.
Several other clerical gentlemen and lay friends of
the Book-hawking Association also addressed the meet-
ing. The statements and observations of the different
speakers evidenly created a favourable impression.

WEST AFRICA.

(From the West African Herald of August 19)
The Sunbeam and Rainbow, after coming down front
the Niger, returned on the 25th ult. The Rainbow had
brought down a quantity of oil, which has been tran--
shipped on board the Ethiope, while she was staying, at'
Bonny. • ,
At Bonny the natives have recently killed and eaten-
four men; prisoners they had captured from the interior:
The oil paid ou. account of the fine imposed by thd
Consul had been sold by public auction. Season veil'
severe, as regards wind and rain. Oil not very plentiful
within the last mouth, and price very high. The bar
very rough. On the 27th ult., four men, belonging to
one of the ships, were drowned while coming in -for-the
pilot. A fifth man was saved after being twenty-one
how's in the water. •

One of the great mischiefs occasioned by the disturb— '
ante in this district is the breaking up of the Wesleyan
Mission School at Doonquah, which was first established,
we believe, in 1847, and was flourishing. There were
forty-seven scholars in August last, when it was broken.
up. It is reported that the Rev. Mr. West, the super—
intendeat of the Wesleyan missions in Guinea, will visit.
Doonquah shortly, with the view of re-establishing the .
school. "

On the 10th inst. a canoe was capsized crossing Lagos
bar, and two white men (names not ascertained), and a •
coloured lady from Sierra -Leone drowned.
Since the foregoing accident, another more terrible
has happened in the same place. Lieutenant Hope,
R.N. commanding her Majesty's steam-ship Brune, the
second master of that ship, the gunner's assistant; with
fifteen Kroomen, were all lost „by the canoe which car-
ried them swamping as it crossed the bar.
The Spanish war frigate Ferrolana, conveying the new
Governor, Brigadier D. Jose de la Gandara, had arrived
in Fernando Po on the 28th of July. His Excellency
was accompanied by his wife, two daughters, and an
English governess ; 150 soldiers, with a civil staff for
the administrative jurisdiction of the colony, were like-
wise in his suite.

The ravages of the yellow fever at Sierra Leone had
very much subsided, after sweeping away nearly one-
half of the European population of the colony.

o HEAD.f
th
s
melancholy event :—" It is with deep grief and pain that
we are compelled to chronicle the dreadful accident which
occurred at the Grande Mere, River St. Maurice,
yesterday morning. His Excellency, the Governor-
General, Lady Head, Miss Head, and Mr. John
Head, with a distinguished party, left Three Rivers
on Tuesday morning last to visit the River St.
Maurice as far as the Piles Falls. The trip was en-
tirely successful until yesterday morning, when Mr. John
Head, son of his Excellency, was unfortunately drowned
while bathing in the immediate vicinity of the falls of the
Grande Mere. The circumstances, as gleaned from our
Mayor, Mr: Turcotte, who was present, are briefly these :
About half-past seven yesterday morning, the Hon. J.
Browne, son of the Earl of Kenmare, accompanied by Mr.
Head, left the camp to take their usual morning bath.
When they reached the spot where Mr. Browne had bathed.
the preceding morning, he observed that he had forgotten
his towel. He returnedin search, of it, leaving Mr. Head
to prepare for the bath. Before the former returned Mr.
Head took the water, and was immediately perceived
by the voyageurs, who were on a hill close by, to struggle
ou his back. They rushed in alarm to the spot,
but the unfortunate young man had disappeared.
Auguste Bellemare, one of the voyageurs, dashed
into the water and dived sixteen feet deep, but with 7
out success. Louis Decoteau, another voyageur, also-
dived, but with the same result. Boats and canoes-
were brought, a pole was planted, and Bellemare,
who had since taken off his clothes, descended. to the
bottom by the aid of the pole. On reaching the bed
of the river, he had to walk on the bottom for same
seconds before he succeeded in finding the body. Wool
found, he took it under one arm, and with the other
climbed to the surface, bringing the body with him.
These acts of daring courage were performed within 100-
feet cf the Falls of La Grande Mere, and in a place
where the least false step would have led them over the
falls. The body was but twelve minutes in the water,
yet, although every appliance and effort were used to‘
revive it from eight o'clock to twelve, they were withold
success."
A BENEFIT SOCIETY SECRETARY ABSCONDED WITIL
1,400.—A man, named James Charles Lockett, has-
recently absconded from Manchester; and there is too
good reason to conclude that he has embezzled about
£1,400 belonging to the Bricklayers' Sick and Burial
Society. Lockett is belieVed to have left Manchester
on the 10th Ult. ; but circumstances prevented suspicion
arising for a fortnight after that time, and it was only
on Thursday that the knowledge of his flight was made
known to the police. It seems that Lockett, who
is described in Slater's Directory as " a surveyor,"
carrying on business in Charles-street, Byrom-street,
has been for several years secretary to the Brick-
layers' Sick and Burial Society, which has its head
at-flees in Manchester, with branches in several other
towns. Shortly before the 10th ult. he applied to -
Managing Committee for ten days' leave ofebsence ,111
d.
this being granted, he started as was supposed ou a land
sure trip. But he did not return at the time filed' is
for some few days no importance was attached tct).oA--
absence. When he had been over-due nearly a !ie._
night, some of the officers of the society were
the
puted to go' to the bank in Manchester in which had
funds were deposited, and where the bank book it
been left. It was then ascertained that a deposa
note for a considerable sum, which should have beF
lodged in the, hank shortly before the 10th ult. n):
the prisoner, was not- in the parcel with the' boo
as it was expected to have been ; and inquiries prove:
that rather more than £4OO was missing, ,of fart
supposed 'to have been safe in
_Manchester. tA
still heavier loss, subsequently discovered, seems ho
have arisen thus :--A few months ago, Lockett, a°
was very much trusted, had £l,OOO of the funds of the
_
society handed to him for investment in Consols. II:
no doubt did effect the investment,
name, in trust, as he was permitted to do ; buts
is now known that the amount has since been "
out," although the date of sale has not transpire,a•
Bat there is no doubt that Lockett has mulcted the
too-confiding society of £1,400 of its hardly-gatlct,
savings, intended for the relief of its' members in
ness, or the assistance of relatives in cases of death.
A reward of £5O for the apprehension and conviction of
Lockett has been offered; together with 5 per cent.
upon all money recovered within six months. Lockett,,t.
