MEETING TO PETITION ON BE'
HALF or THE GLASGOW COTTON-SPINNERS•

A very numerous meeting, consisting of at least twelve or thirteen
hundred persons, assembled last night, at the Theatre of the London
Mechanics' Institution, for the purpose of memorializing the Queen on
behalf of the five Glasgow Cotton.spinners now on hoard the "Hulks,"
awaiting their transportation. Mr. Wakley, M.P., took the chair at
eight o'clock, and explained the object of the meeting. He then went
at some length into a detailed account of the trial, describing the dif-
ference in the law existing in Scotland and England. In 1824, by the
Obits of Joseph Hume, the combination law was repealed, and pro.
ceeding for such offences as assault and combining to raise wages, S'e''
by the common or statute law was prohibited. In 1825 this prohibitor,'
clause was repealed with regard to Scotland, and the old law came into
force ; thus have these men received sentence of seven years' transporta;
Lion, when, had the offences been committed in England, three months
imprisonment would have been deemed sufficient. The Hon. Gent:.
next adverted to the fact of the Jury (being entirely composed ot
employers) acquitting them of all the graver charges ; and that the),
were only condemned on the second by a majority of one out of fifteen.
After some other remarks, in which he drew a parallel between the
mode of treating the Orange Society and the Trades' Unions, lie con-
eluded by requesting their attention for Mr. Fielden, who would MO°
the first resolution.

Ur. FIIILDEN, M.P., thought that if the cotton.spinners were guilty
the punishment was too severe; but he (lid not think they were guilty:
Amongst reasons he quoted the mere majority of one, which in England
would not have convicted them. He then read the resolution, pray!"
her Majesty to interpose and prevent the sentence of transportation
being carried into effect.

Mr. Itocaucx seconded the resolution, and maintained that working.
men had a right to combine to raise wages, to limit the number °I
apprentices, or to strike, but not to intimidate.
Mr. VINCUNT moved, and Mr. Loy Err seconded a resolution, calling
upon the Trades in London to assist by subscriptions the defraYing
the expenses incurred in defending the Ave Spinners, and not to let it
fall on the " trades" of Glasgow,
Mr. Cuthbert and Mr. M`Nish, Delegates from Glasgow, llnd pr.
Wade addressed the meeting.
A vote of thanks having been voted to Lord Brougham for his ex'
ertions, and to air. Wakley for his conduct in the chair, the meeting
broke up about half-past twelve.
Several hundreds must have arrived and been disappointed in the
course of the evening in being not able to gain admission.
Another proposition was to start a " Trades' newspaper," to be taken
in shares, the Secretary of each " Union" purchasing a certain num.
ber of shares for the body. The management, editors, reporters, Ac.
Ac. &c., all being selected from working men.
