To be had at the Patentees, 60, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross.
The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts,
Me advantages resulting from the invention are various and
striking. Independently of a saving of 30 to 50 per cent„ the com-
bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light
hitherto discovered. It emits- neither smell nor smoke, and burns
steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it-neither affects
or soils the most delicate e,lour or the finest fabric. Objections have
male to the introduction of gas in dwellinr-houses, to the expense of
fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold insulting, ;
these are entirely obviated - by- the "PATENT UNIVERSAL GAS
lIIIHNER." As the cost of laying on gas-is muck lower than is com-
monly supposed, it Is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for
chill-houses, hotels, manufactories, and -publie buildings. One of the
small burners iv amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum
immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of
waste or trouble.

The merits of the " Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing
every other known light, are - shown by the annexed authentic

female factory operatives.
The Vicar ofnlleradford, the Rev. Dr. Scorenby, occu-
pied the choir,-and on the platform were Lord Viscount
Morpeth, William Busfeild, Esq., M.P , and a large party
comnmeeeonf,
of clergymen, dissenting ministers, read manufacturers of
the town and ighebmcnieentr
At commencement the meeting the, Rev. J.
Coonntt read letters from various influential persons,
who had been invited to be present at the meeting, among
others from Lord Ashley. His Lordship expressed the
highest satisfaction at the proposed movement for the
improvement of the factory women, and promised his aid
in its promotion; he, however, declined 'attending the
meeting, conceiving that, holding the principles he did
with reference to the hours of labour in factories, his
presence might rather, be for evil than for good. The
Rev. Gentleman then read a report of the proceedings
that had talon place previous to the meeting in the com-
mittee of gentlemen by whom it had been promoted.
This document suggested the plans which were subse-
quently adopted in the various resolutions brought for-
ward and approved by the meeting.
The Rev. Dr. SCORESBY followed in a. speech of con-
siderable length, in which he forcibly set forth -the de-
plorable moral and social condition of many of thafemale
factory operatives of the district, and called upon Lord
Morpeth to move the first resolution.
Lord MORPETH presented himselfeamidst great cheer-
ing, to address the meeting. He said, Mr. Vicar, Ladies,
and Gentlemen—l willingly [comply with the command '
which you have just imposed upon me, tq move the first
resolution, though I feel that after the full explanation,
and the forcible appeal which we Lave-jetet- heard from
voureelLlittle.enorp e.rentr- iv-Innis peen, etnunte-yeese-
happy privilege to have brought before this meeting.—
(Hear.) Before I proceed further, I must offer some
apology that I should be obliged to quit proceedings
even so interesting as these before I should have wished
to do so, and for the same reason to restrict the spate of
my own observation:, because I happen to have had an
engagement for some time in the neighbouring town of
Keighley, to attend their agricultural meeting. But
though perhaps I ought to have been there by this hour,
yet when my attention was called to the 12,000 female
workpeople in this town, I felt they had superior claims,
that they are more important objects, that they are
nobler works of the great Creator, than even the fat
cattle and the goodly beeves that I may find in the
upper part of Airedale.—(Hear, hear.) I will, with
your permission, read the resolution which has been
entrusted to my charge, which is to this effect—
" That as it appears on careful inquiry, that not fewer
than 12,000 young women are engaged in the various
departments of the trade of Bradford, of which number
2,000 are married, and 1,200 live in lodgings; and as the
employment and situation of these young women, espe-
cially the married and those that reside with their own
families, lay them under great disadvantages, expose
them to many moral dangers, it is the duty, not only of
their employers, but of all the inhabitants of the town—
a duty commended by powerful motives to Christian
minds—to cherish a kindly sympathy with this large
and interesting part of the community, assist them in'
efforts to improve and elevate their own character and
condition, and leave no practicable and prudent means
untried of promoting their welfare." Now, I think the
reasoning of this resolution must commend itself to all.
I am aware that differences of opinion have prevailed
upon a subject on which I assure you I do not mean to
enter, and which I think we have been rightly cautioned
against entering upon on the present occasion, because
it is desirable to avoid all unnecessary differeeee of opi-
nion where we have so much common matter which we
may pursue. But differences of opinion lead existed in
this town, and in the whole manufacturing districts of
England, with rk gerd to the proper time to allot to labour
in factories; but whether you fix the number of hours at
twelve, at eleven, at ten, at nine, or at eight, still I think
it would be felt to be desirable to protk ct these 12,000
female factory workers from the dangers and the
temptations to which they. are more Peculiarly k xposed;
to provide means for their finding dk.cknt aid healthy
lodgings ; to stand in the stead, as it were, in the case
of the unprotected, of their natural parents and
guardians when they cannot resort to their kindly shel-
ter ; to provide for them when sick the facilities for ob
taming medical attendance and medicines ; to inculcate
upon them lessons of forethought and prudence ; and
surround them as much as possible with the comforts,
the privileges, the sanctities of a home.—(Loud cheers.)
In these items I have endeavoured to enumerate as far
as I can thoge benevolent purposes which the pronioters
of the scheme which you, sir, have brought before us
seem to have had mainly in view. Amongst the other
recommendations of this scheme to our approbdieret
think it a point to be specially commended that it does
not aim at any exclusiveness or any sectarian distine-
tions.—(Hear, hear.) Indeed, in a community divided
by so much difference of opinion, however desirable in
the abstract I should have thought the objects compre-
hended in this scheme to be, I feel that I could hardly
myself become a party to it, if it built up the wall of
partition among any of those who are entitled to partake
of its benefits.—(Hear, hear.) With reference to the
peculiar object to be held in view, at least ono of the
primary objects, the providing of commodious and healthy
lodgings for the unprotected daughters of toil in the fac-
tories, I observe that the report which was read made
special mention of an association with which I have
been connected in the metropolis of this county, for
providing lodging accommodation for the industrious
classes. I hope this institution will be able to carry their
benificent purpose very generally into effect ; and it
seems to me that the object of the scheme contemplated
to-day is strictly calculated to fall within the sphere of
its operations. lam not at liberty to mention in parti-
cular terms that any scheme set on foot in this town can
be incorporated with the main association, but I am as-
sured that by consultation together we shall be able to
give that general assistance to the local scheme which
the Metropolitan Association is so well calculated to
bestow. In listening to the observations which you, sir,
have made upon this occasion, I could not help feeling
that besides the practical experience and the long op.
portunities of observation which you have enjoyed
during your residence in this town as a minister of the
Gospel, you also have been, to a considerable degree, in-
spired by the wish to set on foot some such scheme as
this, by the impressions which you received during your
personal visit to the great manufacturing establishment
at Lowell, on the continent of America. Now, I can-
not wonder that you received such impressions on that
spot, for I myself, like you, have also been in that
quarter, and I remember writing at the tune, so strong
my own impressions were on the subject, that if a
native of England could feel ashamed or grieved for his
country, it would be when, with the recollection of
what he had seen in such towns as Leeds and
Bradford, he should stand among the female
lactory
labourers of Lowell.—(Laud cheers.) Now know
that there are many circumstances to explain to a cer-
tain extent this difference. It is a new country—land is
comparatively of rro value—no extent of ground is
grudged for suitable lodging— accommodation for public
works—in short, no account is made of space.—(Hear,
hear.) Then the persons who constitute the female
labouring classes are almost entirely the daughters of
farmers—comfortable farmers, who live over the wide
surface of that country, and who merely come to the
manufacturing town for two oe three years, in order
that by their work during that period they may gain a
sufficient amount of wages to return home ready pro-
vided with a marriage dowry—(Cheer;)—anal hence it
happens that the circumstances of their position give
them the motives, while the regulations of the place
give them the facilities for orderly, circumspect, and
blameless conduct, by any departure from which they
feel that they would at once lose caste in the estimation
of their associates, and that it would operate ruinously
upon the prospects of persons in their station for the re-
mainder of their lives. But after all the explanation,
and after all the allowances of which the case admits,
it must, I am sure, be felt by every eye.
witness who has an opportunity of inspection him-
self that the contrast is not gratifying to
English or to our old world prepossessions.—(Hear,
hear.) But, as we heard in this very room last
night, there does not seem to be anything in the cha-
racter or constitution of Englishmen which unfits us for
appreciations and just discernment in matters of taste.
I should be still more sorry to admit that there is any-
thing in the character and composition of Englishwomen
which would unfit them for decent and virtuous living.
—(Cheers.) All that we say is, give them the facilities,
give them the protection, give them the safeguards, give
them the motives that are found at Lowell, before you
ask us to pronounce that they are unfit to stand the corn-
parison.—Applause.) And I think that by such a pro-
ject as we have had sketched out to us to-day, we are
in a fair way of opening that comparison upon fair
grounds, and of giving it at least a beginning in the
right way, to rescue from danger that portion of our fe-
male working population which is justly entitled to our
sympathy and to our exertions.—(Hear.) On this ac-
count I have been most glad to take a part in the pro-
ceedings of this day, however short and inadequate that
may be. I think this scheme does honour to those who
have set it on foot, and I heartily hope that they may, in
the results which will follow their deliberations and ex-
ertions, and which will follow our meeting of this morn-
ing, find not only the barren credit of the well-intended
purpose, but the solid and lasting satisfaction of the ac-
complished good.—(Hear, and loud applause.) And I
would put it to you, when you reflect upon the one
hand on the drawbacks and dangers which beset
the poor working women and working girls, in the
first place, all the physical and material discomfort of
their position—the sordid lodging—the ill-ventilated
garret—the over-crowded apartments, and all the far
more grievous
moral and spiritual evils with which this
state of things is necessarily connected—the bad cone
panionship—the evil associations—the ever-open gin-
' shop—the midnight street—the solicitations to guilt—
the easy path to infamy, and, what is still worse than
infamy itself, the mind made indifferent to in and the
conscience become callous to its shame; and when, be-
sides reflecting upon all this mass of material and moral
evil, you further remember whom those persons are on
whose behalf we have come forward this day—on %hoe(
behalf we urge you to save them from such dangers and
