lies were also adopted this morning:—
4e 4. Central Committee to carry out the objects of
fiussid Association, and the formation of a fund to de-

tii .• the leading objects of the Association may be
ih.ttsible into two departments—the first external, hay-
rrferenee to the influence of the Legislature on the
4ition of.the industrious classes; the second internal,

ty„'°lninittee as to the effect of the adoption of such a

to place the operative classes under the tyranny of

A DI
th ELEGATE, a working man in the coal-mines of North
ehire, spoke at considerable length, and in a strain of
Uenee that proved him to be a man of great intelli

fee, f the very many hardships which his peculiar de-
kyrtion of labour subjected the working miners to. He
tadellhed the different gasses existing in the coal mines
Ile their deleterious effects on the human constitution.

ky2Blv,-,gasses, by which he said 17 men lost their

iiir /Mg the dead bodies. This statement was followed
104:fld cries of " Shame." These, he said, were his rett-
ltouurcT agreeing in the opinion that local boards of trade,

ituttEnsT.n, who, represented the tailors, expressed
11,Pprehensions for the stability of the proposition even
INll'hould be carried out ; and he thought it would be
itio,.lfeach trade could place itself in a position to assist

oi (I take a short review of the objections raised to it.

litel;l4flPerandi of the proposed boards of trade, which
*wk. "consist of six persons—.three. masters, and three

men, and all questions referred to them for
