REASSEMBLAGE OF THE JEIFS.

BRADFORD COMBFRS AND WEAVERS.

"Free, the Leeds lereiligetreer bf Tharsday.)
At ten- o'clock ou Monday morning, the masters, pur-
suant to notice, assembled at the Court-house, whet' in-
formation was communicated to thim that the men were
inclined to return to work at the old wages, provided they
should be allowed to continue in the Union. A proposi-
tion, agreeing in effect to this overture, was submitted:
The masters, however, conceiving even this t* he a most
important concession on their parts, resolved to adjourn the
meeting till yesterday morning at nine o'clock, to gig
time for due deliberation on the subject. Meantime the
usual meeting of the workmen was held on Monday after-
neon,

" That the unemployed Combers and Weavers presientsat this
meeting, highly approve of the proposal made respecting than, by
John Tester, to Matthew Thompson, Esq. and that they would be
very happy to meet their masters collectively, for the purpose of
ending, if possible, the unhappy dispute which has existed oohing,
to the great prejudice and injury of both parties.
" That if the Manufacturers should not be generally willhig to
meet us collectively, and will cause us to receive information of
their unwillingness to do so, we will meet them neparatkly at thew
respective warehouses, on next Wednesday afternoon, as three
o'clock, for the purpose of effecting the foreinentlones object."
Yesterday morning the masters snet, pursuant to ad::
journment, at the Court-house, in Bradford, and thefol-
lowing resolution was agreed upon :
" Courthouse, Mrley-street, Bradford, 19th Oct. 1835.
" At a meeting of the Worsted Spinners and Manufactuirre,
' Wien pursuant to adjournment, (1. T. Lister, Etq. in the Chair,
lie Associated Misters being led to believe, that frum a compari-
son of the wages paid in this and the neigheuring towns, added to
the almost unparalleled depressed state of the worsted trade, the
workmen are convinced of the utter impossibility of any advance
being given on the present wages, and the masters having also rea-
-1 son to believe that the workmen are inclined to return to their em-
ployment at the Wages given at the time of the strike, provided
a written disavowal of their belonging to the Union be dispensed
with—
" Resolved unanimously.-That In their sincere wish to termi-
nate this long protracted dispute, equally to be lamented by all
parties, the masters shall no longer require their workmen to du.
claim being members of the Union.
" N.B. As the workmen have expressed a wish to meet their
mutes, the masters will, it waited on, be ready to see them."
Immediately after the meeting of the masters, Bradford
was thronged by operatives, waiting with great anxiety die
result, which was communicated to them by hauilbilbl
about half-past one o'clock. As soon after as was found
Practical, !teeter addressed them from the Roebuck ; he
advised them not, on any account, to turn in without some
advance of wages, if it Was but small, and the respective
workmen of each master to consult him on the subject that
afternoon, Mill to report the result to the Committee sitting
at the Roebuck, for their approbation. He informed them
what he had never developed before—that during the strike
each week had depended upon its own resources, and al-
though they bad sometimes a surplus after the week's dis-
bursemenut, yet their funds were never in such a state as
enabled them at any one time to possess the amount of two
weeks payments. If any of theth could not agree with
their masters, they were to come hack to the Committee,
and funds should be provided for them.
Groups were in consequence seen assembling in the
streets; the workmen belonging to each mill collecting
together, in order to adopt the moot proper Mode of meet-
ing the masters. They conselteil together for the purpose
of forming a sort of Committee or Deputation from mono
themselves, to discuss the matter with the masters, and
agree npon what advance the men at that mill were to tutu
in. Having made the appointment, they went to the
warehouses, and during their absence, the streets were
completely cleared, the rain falling heavily. On the return
of the several deputations to the Roebuck, they were met
by their fellow-workmen, anxiously inquiring the result.
After the different reports had been delivered to the Com-
mittee the men met behind the Roebuck, where the an-
swers of the manufacturers were read by T. )vveleigh.

to get a correct list of the several firms who have been

Revival of the Jewish Government—Appointment of a
Judge of Israel—Foundation of a City of Refuge.—lt
was known at the sale of that beautiful and valuable tract
called Graod Island, a few miles below this port, in the
Niagara River, that it was purchased in part by the friends
of Major Noah, of New York, avowedly to offer it as an
asylum for his brethren of the ,Jewish persuasion, who in
the other parts of the world are much oppressed ; and it
was likewise known that it was intended to erect upon the
Island a City called Ararat. We are gratified to perceive,
by the documents in this day's Extra, that coupled with
that colonisation is a declaration of independence, and the
revival of the Jewish. Government under the protection of
the United States, atter the dispersion of that ancient and
wealthy people for nearly 2000 years—and the appoint-
sseaad• Mr. Noah as int sludge. kt was intended, pur-
suant to public notice, to celebrate the event on the Island,
and a flag staff was erected for the Grand standard of
Israel, and other arrangements made ; but it was disco-
vered that a sufficient number of boats could not be pro-
cured in time to convey all those to the Island who were
desirous of witnessing the ceremony, and the celebration
took place this day in the village, which was both inter-
esting.and impressive. At dawn of day, a salute was fired
'in front of the Court House, and from the terrace facing
the Lake. At ten o'clock, the masonic and military com-
panies assembled in front of the Lodge, and at eleven_ the
line of procession was formed as follows :

ORDER OF CELEBRATION.

uniform, United States officers, president and trustees of
the corporation, tyler, stewards, entered apprentices, fel-
low crafts, master masons, senior and junior deacons, se-

wine, and oil.

On arriving at the church-door the. troops opened to the
tight and left, and the procession entered the aisles, the
bend playing the grand march from Judas Alactabeus.
The full-toned organ commenced its swelling notes, per-
forming the Jubilate. On the communion table lay the

brew :

freshments. The church was fillel with ladies, and the
whole ceretoony was impressive and unique. A grand sa-
lute of QS guns was fired by the artillery, and the band
played a number of patriotic airs.

expecting the ceremonies would be at Grand Isle. Many
