ANCE SOCIETY, •

Capital .E. 500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future
premiums

ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE
MESSRS. ALLSOPP and SONS regret the
necessity of again alluding to a statement put forth by
Messrs. Bass and Co., purporting to be a correct representation of
the current prices and shipments of Pale Ale to the East Indies.
The Incorrectness of the returns alluded to has been fully shown in
a former advertisement, notwithstanding which Messrs. Bass have
pertinaciously refused to withdraw the same, thus rendering it in-
cumbent upon Messrs. Allsopp to lay before the pnblic the following
detailed account of the actual transactions in Pale Ale shipped by
themselves and Messrs. Bass respectively. In order to avoid the pos.
sibility of mistake, the most careful examination of the official re-
ports of the Indian markets, during a period extending over the
months of November, December, and January last, has been made,
and Messrs. Allsopp confidently submit the result as a proof of the
superior estimation in which their Ale is held throughout the three
Presidencies.

CALCUTTA.
The overland " Bengal Hurkaru" (Nov. 17) says
Of Allsopp's Ale 430 hhds. have been sold at Company's rupees
67 to 77 per hhd.; and of Bass's 300 hhds at from 65 to 67 rupees.
The "Review of the Calcutta Market" (Nov. 14) give this quo-
tation:—

Allsopp 68 to 70 rps. per hhd. I Bass 65 to 67 rps. per hhd.
On the 14th of Dec. the same price current quotes sales of 400 Mids.
of Allsopp's Ale, at 72 to rupees, and Bass's ditto at 70.
The Bengal Hurkaru " (Dec. 19) quotes the following sales :
hhds. rps. ana. hhds. rps. ans. rps
20 72 8 Bap, 0
Ditto 200. 75 0 Ditto 1 0 to 72
Messrs. Gladstone's reports of the market for Ale (N0v.13) were :
Allsopp fib to 70 rps. I Bass 65 to 66 rps.
On the 14th of December the same firm quote the prices of Ale
as nominal, except Allsopp's, which had been sold at 75 rupees, and
on the 17th of January at 85 rupees (50 hhds).
On the 14th of December, Messrs. Lyall, Matheson, and Co., say,
No sales of Bass's Ale have been made for some time past; we
cannot, therefore, give an actual quotation ; but rupees 67 to 70
may be considered its value, er five rupees below your own
brewing.
Under the head of Calcutta, Messrs. Allsopp have only to add
that Messrs. Bass.and Co. have quoted sales of their own Beer at
that place at 80 rupees, and Messrs.. Allsopp's at 75 rupt es per hhd. ;
and on the 17th of January they even quote actual sales at 90
rupees. Messrs. Allsopp have taken some pains to ascertain the
truth of these statements, and find that the fireund for these quota-
tions is a shipment of 10 butts by the Tecumseh," Bof which,
having been consumed on board the vessel, mere charged to the
owners at 90 rupees per hhd. as by account sales rendered* 17th
January,7lB44, the remaining two be'ng landed at Calcutta and sold,
one by private sale, at 8) rupees per hhd., and the other (ullaged)
at 70. Ihe actual sale alluded to by Messrs. Bass and Co. on the
22d December,' at 80 rupees, turns out to be the identical parcel
%loftd above, and Messrs. Mackay Holt, and Co., by request of
Messrs Allsopp, having applied to Messrs. Bass and Co., for account
sales confirmatory of this s tatemen t, are informed by them that , 'there
are no account sales cerrespsniding therewith."

DINNER TO MR. O'CONNELL

AT LIVERPOOL.

(Abridged from the Liverpool Mercury, of Friday.>

Long before the.hour at which the proceelings were
announced to commence, immense crowds had assem-
bled outside the theatre, anxious to obtain— admission.
On no previous occasion did we ever witness such an
eager desire manifested by all parties to gain access ;to
the theatre, which, had been the scene of many similar
grand demonstrations in favour of popular rights tind
liberties. The Chairman of the evening, Wm. Rath-
bone, Esq., accompanied by Mr. O'Connell, ,entered the
house about seven o'clock. The scene of enthusiasth
which followed' :Ales all description—stage, boxes, pit,
and gallery rose en masse to welcome Mr. O'Connell.
Thunders of applause, iterated and reiterated, ascended
from the crowded assemblage. The ladies waved their
scarfs and handlt erchieN, and the men their hats; • shout
after shout rent the air, and each person seemed to vie
with another in the intensity of their feelings upon f.he
occasion. For upwards of five minutes a scene of the
utmost animation continued, whilst the gentleman !so
honoured bowed to his friends, who thus welcomed Ills
appearance. As, overcome by the kind reception, he
sank into his chair, the House echoed again with the
loudest plaudits, which eeased only when hands rind
voices seemed to be completely exhausted. .Amon keat
the gentlemen on the platform, we noticed the followil:
—R. V. Yates, Esq., Thomas Blackburn, Esq., Thor nas
Bolton, Esq., ChOritSpher Rawdon, Esq., Richard Side!,
Esq., C. J. Coitbally, Esq., J. T. Crooke, Esq., Chreles

Day, Lennan, J. Langan, W. Brown, A. Fors
rest, and J. Edwards ; George Ilolt, Es.ii:,
Rev. J. Robbards, J. Bradley, Esq. ; also, Ralph
Clay, Esq , leader of the Orange party in Liverpool, a
constant disturber of Liberal public meetings, and one
of the parties who signed the requisition to the Mayor.
Mr. RATHBONE was called to the chair, and, after the
applause with which he was received, had subsided, he
said—This meeting is neither a repeal meeting aloe an
anti-repeal meeting.—(Hear, and laughter.) No man
who comes here is compromised either for or against it;
it is a meeting in vindication of the wrongs of Ireland—
(Tremendous cheers)—in opposition to the violation of
the Constitution in the State trials of Ireland—both of
England and Ireland. Gentlemen, our tried friend, Mr.
Blackburn, will move the first resolution, and you will
have the kindness to give him your patient attention.
THOMAS BLACKBURN, Esq., on rising to move the
first resolution, said, the honour devolves upon me to
submit to your consideration the first resolution, which
is so comprehensive, and drawn up with so much care,
that it will preclude the necessity of any lengthened ob-
servations from me. With your permission I will read
ie—[Here Mr. Blackburn read the resolution.] I shall
not have occasion to dwell at any length on the facts
which it brings before you. That a large propor-
tion of the inhabitants of that beautiful, but ill-fated
island, to which our proceedings especially refer, are in
a state of physical wretchedness and poverty, and that
wide-spread and alarming discontent and disaffection
-prevail there, are matters, unhappily, too notorious to
need proof. That this condition of the people is not the
result of any inevitable and uncontrollable necessity is
equally evident.—(Hear.) Ireland possesses immense
natural advantages—a fertile soil, vast mineral wealth, a
most advantageous position, noble bays and rivers, a
quick, ingenious, versatile, and highly talented people ;
in short, nature has bestowed upon her, with a lavish
hand, all that is requisite to secure a large mea-
sure of material prosperity to her children ; and yet her
condition is acknowledged, on all hands, and by men of
all parties, to be a standing reproach to the empire of
which she forms a part, and the most extraordinary
anomaly of the civilised world.—(Cheers.) Now the
inquiry naturally presents itself to the mind of every
thoughtful man—how is the state of Ireland to be ac-
counted for? What is it that thus defeats the very bene-
ficence ofProvidence, and seems to turn every blessing into
a curse ? To that inquiry the resolution before the
meeting returns a brief, but yet a comprehensive, and I
believe a correct answer. It traces it up, primarily, to
-the faukstasststrekesedi having been treated in all ages as
a conquered province, and its aboriginal inhabitants as
a subjugated race ; and secondarily, but principally, to
another equally certain fact,—that, for more than two
centuries, the grand object aimed at by Government—
that which has given its spirit and character to the whole
course of policy pursued—has been to sustain and extend,
in the exclusive possession of all influence, wealth, and
power, the church of the miserable monopolising minority
—(Hear, hear, and great cheering)—and to crush, and,
if possible, annihilate another church, to which the im-
mense majority of the original inhabitants were attached.
—(Renewed cheers.) These are, I venture confidently
to maintain, the principal causes to which the peculiar
and startling condition of the sister kingdom must be
ascribed. The Melbourne Ministry and their suc-
cessive Lord-Lieutenants, Normanby and Ebrington,
were, I verily believe, honestly desirous to _carry out
the true intent of the Emancipation Act, and to conduct
the Government of Ireland in the only way in which it
ever can be successfully conducted,—by the agency and
instrumentality of those in whom the people have con-
fidence. Now, was it not that part of their policy that
mainly contributed to their fall? Was it not because
Roman Catholics were admitted into the Ministry and
into the Cabinet, and employed (certainly not to any
great extent) in Ireland, that the " Church in danger'
and " No Popery" cry was echoed through the land ?
(Hear, hear.) To that stale and hackneyed cry it was
that the present Ministry mainly owe their elevation to
power. The present Ministry and their supporters dis-
placed them on that, as one of the principal grounds.
On this principle they accepted office; and, with the
exception of a few smooth, honeyed phrases from the
specious Premier—(Hear, hear)—their whole conduct
has been in perfect keeping with it. Look first at the
men themselves. The Premier granted the Emancipa-
tion Act avowedly because he durst not any longer with-
hold it; and has again and again declared his determina-
tion to maintain the monster grievance of Ireland in all
its integrity. He selected for his Lord Chancellor the
man who had declared that the Irish were aliens, in lan-
guage, religion, and blood.—(Hisses and groans.) His
Colonial Secretary is the Noble Lord who, for the vilest
purposes of faction, brought in a Registration Bill, the
effect of which would have been to transfer the repre-
sentation of Ireland almost entirely to the Orange party.
llis Home Secretary has unblushingly asserted, that
concession to Ireland has been carried to the utmost pos-
sible extent, and warned the unthankful Irish to expect.
nothing more. Are these the men to inspire confidence
in the Emerald Isle ?—(No.) And then, again, look at
their appointments to the most important offices. Tell me
not, under circumstances like these, that the Irish ought
to be contented and quiet—that agitation is unreasonable
and uncalled for. I will not pledge myself to an entire
approval of every plan of agitation and resistance that
has been adopted in Ireland—but this I will say, that if
the great bulk of the people of that country were content
to be practically excluded from the benefits of the Con-
stitution—to be shut out from all offices, and all power,
and all emolument—to see the men whose chief merit
has been an unbending opposition to the rights and
liberties of their fellow countrymen, exalted to the
highest offices in the State—if, I say, they could see all
this, and not adopt every legal and constitutional means
to protest against their grievances and their wrongs,
then they would prove themselves unworthy of the rights
of which they are deprived. Let us merge any dis-
tinction of religion, of nation, and of race.—(Cheers.)
Our object is one. Our interest is the same. We ask
no superiority to any class of our fellow-countrymen.
We wish nothing for ourselves from which we would ex-
clude others. Our motto is, " Equal laws and equal rights
to all."—(Cheers.)
JAMES MULLENEUX, Esq., seconded the resolution.
THOMAS BOLTON, Esq., moved the second resolution,
which was seconded by CHARLES HOLLAND, Esq., and
passed unanimously.
WILLIAM WOOD, Esq., moved the third resolution,
which was seconded by CHARLES ROBERTSON, Esq., and
carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then advanced to the front of the
stage with Mr. O'Connell, and read an address to that
gentleman, which, without pledging the meeting to the
language or measures of Mr. O'Connell, admitted the
injustice which had been committed against the sister
country, and at the same time complimented Mr. O'Con-
nell for the peaceable measures which he had adopted
for redressing the wrongs of his country.
Mr. O'CosiNELL, after silence had been obtained, said,
—How shall I respond to this flattering address ? By
laying my heart before you, and showing you the inmost
recesses of my soul ?—(Applause.) A few weeks have
elapsed since I was in this city before. I was on my
way from Dublin to Parliament. I came here dis-
comfited to be sure, because there was a verdict against
me, but I came undismayed. My pulse did not beat
with a quicker throb. I was nerved with the same firm-
ness that I always found supporting me in the many
struggles for liberty in which I have been engaged.
There was no faltering about me, and yet I stood
comparatively alone. I was discomfited, but un-
dismayed. An additional nickname had been
bestowed on me, in addition to the number of appel-
lations—of names bestowed on me by persons who were
not by at my christening at all.—(Laughter and applause.)
I was called a convicted conspirator. But who called
me so ? Why it was he who is so remarkable for not
being able to pronounce a speech in the House without
being insulting to somebody—Sir James Graham.—

(Disapprobation.) The very man who, within the last
eight-and-forty hours, within my hearing, called the
purest spirits that belong to English legislation Jack
Cades. Sir James Graham—he gave me that name. I
fling back Jack Cade in his teeth.—(Applause.) I came
here with that nickname, and with, I confess, no great
prospect for support or success on this side of the water.
I came over alone, and did not expect much support. I
did wrong in thinking so, and I am here to make my
open confession, to state that I did not expect from Eng-
land what I have most abundantly received. Never man
felt so.delighted to find himself in the wrong, and never_
was a man more in the'svron,,cs than I was, and here I
am before you, admitting that I was in the wrong, and
unable to describe the joy of my heart that I was so.
My first appearance was in Liverpool, and there were
many Irish voices, and I thought I heard •some Saxon
ones too, shouting for me in the square, but I was not
far, enough from Ireland to distinguish them, but when
I got to the Covent-garden anti-corn-law meeting there
met me such a vivid, such a heart-rending cry of re-
spect and regard, I could-not help seeing it—such a cry
of indignation at the injustice done me—such a thorough
and manly declaration—that wherever Englishmen had
power injustice should cease to pervade.—(Applause.) I
have had this scene reiterated over and over again; and
I have met in private, as in public, every disposition on
the part of the English people to sympathise and sup-
port the Irish. I am here, and . I am come to
make a'public declaration, that there is in England
a living soul of justice that there are pure 1
waters of life from the fountain of the liberal
hearts of England—that England is for justice, what-
'"ever her ttrigarchrattlegishanrs-May be, and that Ireland
has her best support in the English love of justice.—
(Applause.) I have heard language here to-night that
would do honour to the best orators. I am not flatter-
ing. I have heard more good speaking, and more dig-
nified sentiments than I ever heard in one night before.
I have heard gentlemen over whom I can, of course,
have no control—gentlemen who differ with me upon the
most material points—gentlemen who do not agree with
me politically, and who are totally opposed to me in
religious belief—l have heard them advocate the cause
of justice to Ireland to-night, with a zeal, an energy,
and a splendour of talent that I can admire, but would
in vain endeavour to imitate.—(Great applause.) I am
going back to tell the people of Ireland we have
made a great mistake!—(Cheers.) I am going back
to bind for ever a real union between the two
countries.—(Great applause.) I speak not of politics ;
I speak of what is of a higher nature—that communion
of sentiment that' does honour to each party, and gives
the real strength and security to the Throne and the
Constitution.—(Cheers.) It will make this country again
what she ought to be—the first nation upon the face of
the earth.—(Great applause.) The moment that the
owls and the bats that still flit about, as it were, in the
twilight of legislation—the moment that we are able to
drive them to their vile dens—that moment shall we
have the fairer flight of the immortal minds of both
countries combined together in one national sentiment
of justice to each and every one.—(Vast applause.) Yes,
I go back to announce to them, that it is not sufficient
they should struggle for us, but that the determination
will go abroad not to allow the present transactions to
sink into oblivion until an attempt is made—and I trust a
successful attempt—to impeach the authors of the evil,and
the contrivers of all this mischief.—(Tremendous cheering
for some time.) I announce it now that I shall devote not,
perhaps, some years, but whatever time I have to spare of
my life, to the impeachment of those men. Their name
is the "inhuman Ministry," and within the last week
they have proved before the world their want of huma-
nity. They won't give the poor man cheap bread. They
will keep it dear in order that Lord Stanley and other
Lords may live in luxury. They are inhuman, for
they told the majority twice that the poor children
should labour as before. They call the men Jack Cades
for supporting the poor children in opposition to the op-
presssion of the'rich. If they keep this corn-law on one
hand—if they will not give up this corn-law, and still keep
up the hours of labour, I will call them the inhuman Minis-
try. What I want is that England should understand the
case of the Irish. And now for this charge of conspiracy—
this indictment, thirty-six yards of parchment in length
—literally so—thirty-six yards of an indictment. They
made out a list of forty-one meetings, and they called
meeting in public and speaking in public a conspiracy,
Did they produce a man, a spy who had attended our
meetings ? They did produce a man—they degraded a
man belonging to a most useful, and—when faithfully
performed—a most honourable, prosession ; they turned
one of these men into a spy and an informer. But he
had nothing to tell except what every body knew long
before. The main information against me at the trial
was the public newspapers. I had been so discreet—such
a prudent conspirator in my declarations, that every
thing against me was in the newspapers—every thing
kept so secret that it was all in the newspapers.—(Cheers.)
After adverting at length to the anomalous proceedings
taken against - him by the Government, he thus eon-
tinued—My impeachment of the Ministry is this—that
being employed openly, publicly, and legally to obtain
this object, I should, at the end of nine months, discover
myself to have been a conspirator all that time, without
knowing it for one hour; that there should be a batch
of newspaper articles, of scraps of speeches, and of
old ballads—for there were both ; and that all
this should be turned into this dark, myste-
rious, unintelligible, mystical crime, called a conspi-
racy. Why, no Government deserves to hold office that
would preside over the hatching of such a charge. There
would be no safety for Ireland ; there would be no safety
for England. - Many of you have been engaged in the
factory agitation ; you were engaged last year in agi-
tating against Sir James Graham's endeavour to take
the education of the children of the Dissenters from their
own parents and clergy, and place it in the hands of the
Established Church.—(Hear, hear.) That agitation
was a conspiracy, according to the Irish doctrine. You
have had meetings, too, for the repeal of the corn-law.
That agitation was a conspiracy, according to Irish law.
When you were looking for Parliamentary reform, that
was conspiracy, according to this doctrine ; and we now,
as I trust, shall look for more reform, for the specimen
we hate got has not encouraged us to remain where we
are. I hope we shall go on until every man of 21 years
of age shall be entitled to a vote in England.—(Cheers.)
You all know that Sir James Graham referred the other
night to one Jack Cade, a fellow who put to death an
Archbishop of Canterbury, and hung a Chief Justice.
Now I met the other night, in the lobby of the House of
Commons, one of the supporters of Lord Ashley, and
said to.him, " Surely they can't suspect you of any de-
sire to hang an Archbishop of Canterbury ?"—(Laugh-
ter.) " Oh, no," said he. " I don't suspect you of any
such desire," said I, " but if you have any inclination to
hang a Chief Justice, I could spare you one."--(Con-
tinued roars of laughter.) There is only one person in
the entire trial that has found no one to defend him—
every one else had somebody to excuse him. There
was an excuse for the striking out of the Catholics
from the jury, and thus repealing the Emancipation
Act ; there. was an excuse for leaving out the liberal
Protestants ; an excuse for the slipping out of names
from the list ; but nobody ever tried an excuse for
the Lord Chief Justice.—(Hear, hear.) Nobody said
one word for him. He did not say one word in favour
of the traversers, and so don't blame me if I don't say
one word for him.—(Cheers and laughter.) But I do
say, that if ever there was a case for impeachment I
have a case for impeachment.—(Hear, hear.) At all
events, I will proclaim to my countrymen the gratifying,
the delightful intelligence, that, for the first time, an
immense rroportion of the people of England are deci-
dedly in favour of Ireland, and determined on obtaining
her rights.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) I admit that you
were right and I was wrong. I always mentioned that
there were some generous and noble spirits that felt for
the wrongs of Ireland, but I never proclaimed until now,
in the face of Europe, that there is a union of the wealthier
classes of Englishmen with their poorer brethren in favour
of the' rights of Ireland—a fact that shall be cherished in
the inmost core :of my heart—a fact which will induce me
to declare to my countrymen, that never again shall a dis-
tinction be made between the people of England and the
people of Ireland, that all past differences shall be for-
gotten, and that, however the Government may conduct
itself, the generous-minded people of England will ever
be lauded by me with the most ardent feelings of grati-
tude and admiration.—(Great cheering.) I look for re-
peal—l
am going to look for it still, because I see no
prospect of relief in this country. If we cannot get jus-
tice from the English Parliament, we are bound to look
for it from our own Parliament. But they say the
repeal of the union would be separation from England.
I utterly deny that. I say more, that whatever incon-
venience Ireland may suffer from the present connexion,
if the repeal of the union would bring separation I would
not agitate for it.—(Hear, hear, and fipplause.) It will
be extremely useful for both countries to be combined
in the bond ofperfect affection and mutual interests. There
was no separation until Castlereagh, by the vilest of
crimes, destroyed our Parliament and carried the union.
I am now going back to Ireland, and shall bear with me
a lasting remembrance of what my country owes to
England. I am going back to still struggle for the re-
dress of the grievances of which we have to complain;
and one of the first to which public attention must be
directed is the Church. I want an equalisation of all
Churches by not paying any of them by the State, but to
leave every man to pay his own Church. I will cheer
the-hearts of the Irish people by the news which I shall
bring them from this side of the Channel, but it has
travelled to them already by the press ; and I can tell
you, before I see them, that their hearts are grateful.
One of the first motions I shall make in the Association
when I return shall be to move a vote of thanks to the
people of England for the generous sympathy which they
have manifested towards my country. But thanks is too
feeble a tern; it shall be a vote expressive of the grati-
tude and affection of the Irish people towards the ho-
nest and just Englishmen who have so nobly stepped •
forward as their friends the moment they felt satisfied
that a judicial wrong was perpetrated towards them-
selves. I said, at the commencement of these judicial
proceedings, that I was unconscious of having com-
mitted any offence, legal or moral—l say the same now,
although a verdict has been obtained branding me as a
onspirator; and I shall be of the same opinion, even

if the Government should inflict punishment—Celt le
crime gui fait la honte, et non pas fechafaud —lt is
the crime, not the punishment, of which a man
ought to be ashamed. I feel I have committed no
crime for which I ought to be legally punished, and
I believe that there are a great many of the same
opinion. Let what will be the result, I go back
to Ireland rejoicing that a real union exists, at. length
between the Irish and English people—that bywords and
animosity shall be for ever forgotten, and that both shall
unite in the glorious cause of liberty, and never cease
till their exertions are crowned with success.—(Cheers.)
The people of both countries shall unite as brothers and
fellow-sufferers, they shall stand together,against class
legislation and oligarchical tyranny, and when both are
thus combined they will be too strong fur their enemies.
The man does not deserve • the name of a human
being who does not love liberty, and when
Irishmen • and Englishmen are united in its
glorious cause, they will make their country the most
powerful and prosperous on the earth.—(Cheers.) For
.my part, it is my consolation and delight. lam a moun-
taineer. I was born on the mountain brow, and be-
neath me the wild waves of the ocean were breaking,
coming in undivided from the coast of Labrador, till they
struck and broke on the rocks beneath my feet. I list-
ened to the sounds of nature around me till they seemed
like voices from eternity, proclaiming to me my duty,
and bidding me to struggle for so lovely a land.—
(Loud cheers.) Yes, they may prevent me this year
from visiting those mountains—(Cries of " Never,
never ")—which have won my affections, which by their
wildness and beauty hare filled my heart with love
fl ir my -native liw4;.Tand =for its brave, its
generous, its pious, its moral, its temperate people.—
(Cheers.) Oh, Ido delight in letting my soul expatiate
over the entire soil. I like to contemplate all that nature
and nature's God has done for her ; I like to see her po-
pulation springing up around me ; and when tyranny
wrings drops of blood from them, my heart weeps for
them, and I will be in the grave before I cease to struggle
for them. (The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded
a speech, the delivery of which occupied an hour and five
minutes, amidst a thunderous and prolonged burst of
applause.)

Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and the
meeting separated.

INHUMAN CONDUCT OF THE
MASTER OF A UNION WORKHOUSE.
(From the Weekly Dispatch of this day.)
About a month ago a poor man, named William Hearnden,
a vendor of writing paper, called at the office of the Dispatch,
in an agony of mind that cannot be described without har-
rowing up the feelings of our readers, and related that his
little daughter Emma, an inmate of the Blean union poor-
house at Herne, had, by order of the governor, been locked
up in the dead-house of the establishment, as a punishment
for wetting her bed. This statement was corroborated by a
letter the poor fellow held in his hand from another daughter
(Elizabeth), who had visited Emma in the union, and learned
from her the ill treatment she had experienced. The editor
of the Dispatch at once communicated with the Poor-law
Commissioners, at Somerset House, through the medium of
Edwin Chadwick, Esq. In his letter the matte, was briefly
stated, and the Commissioners, greatly to their credit, at once
directed the Board of Guardians to prosecute an investigation
into the business, and acquaint them with the result. The
Board accordingly instituted an inquiry—what an inquiry !
and came to the conclusion that Emma Hearnden had never
been within the walls of the dead-house by day or night, and
that the guardians were perfectly satisfied that such were the
facts.! Of course such a conclusion as this sagacious Board
arrived at was sufficient to throw discredit upon
our statement ; but, after the lapse of a few days,
having in the meantime made further inquiry, we again
thought proper to hint to the Poor-law Commissioners, that
not only was our statement corroborated by some observa-
tions made by, the editor of the Kent Herald, but that that
spirited individual had stated that " too great severity was
used in punishing the boys and girls in the house by
flogging." Never, until this moment, could we discover the
utility of a triumvirate sitting at Somerset-house. We now,
however, see how necessary it is that there should be a con-
trolling power, if it be only for the purpose of correcting the
errors and inhumanity of guardians. We can perceive, that
if this triumvirate would act with greater liberality towards
the poor, the Poor-law Act, instead of a curse, might prove
a blessing to persons in poverty. Had there been no con-
trolling power, the conduct of the master of the Blean union
would have appeared as pure as unsunned snow. But the
Commissioners were dissatisfied with the guardians' report.
They placed no faith in its correctness, and accordingly they
appointed an investigation to take place before Mr. Hall ;
and a more searching inquiry, we believe, was never insti-
tuted. Our reporter was present during the whole of the
proceedings, and by that gentleman we have been placed in
possession of a full and faithful report of the investigation ;
but the following outline will be found sufficient to establish
the truth of our statement, and confirm the guilty, the crimi-
nal, and atrocious conduct of the master.

The inquiry took place in the board-room of the union-
house at Herne-common, on Monday, and the meeting was
declared by the Commissioner, at the request of several of the
guardians, to be an open one, in consequence of which the
room thrwaghout the day was crowded by persons Jrom
Herne' Horn A-bay, and surrounding places.
Mr. Walker, solicitor, of Call tcrbury, attcntlocl t. watch the
proceedings on the party of the accused. and . Mr. T. T. De
Lasaux, Coroner for East Kent, kindly stepped forward on
behalf of the poor friendless child. The following guardians
of the respective parishes were present :—Mr. Rammell,
(Chairman); Mr. G. Goddard, Vice-Chairman; Mr. Ryder;
Mr. W. F. Hilton ;Mr. Isaac Sladden ; Mr. Wootton, Chislet ;
Mr. Wootton, Westbere ; Mr. Knight ; Mr. W. Denne ; Mr.
Bedwell ; Mr. F. Neame : Mr. Wacher ; and Mr. G. Austen.
Mr. HALL briefly opened the business, after which Emma
Hearnden was called in and examined. She stated that she
was between nine and ten years of age, and that up to Fri-
day last, at which time Mr. De Lasaux took her away, she
had been an inmate of the workhouse, and had lived there
nearly two years, during which period she had often been
shut up in a room called the dead-house, by order of the
master, who would often, when he came up to read prayers
to the children, ask if she had " wet her bed ;" and if the
other girls said yes, he used to say, " then she shall go down
to the dead-room." Sometimes she was taken there, and
sometimes she went on being told to go, as she dared not re-
fuse. On one occasion, about a year ago, she was taken there
by the "young mistress" (the daughter of the master), at
which time the body of Mrs. Ingleton, who had died the day
before, was in the room ; the body was covered over with
a sheet, but the face was not ; it was lying on a board, and
some straw under the head, and two carpenter's stools
(trestles) supported it from the ground. She cried very
much and begged to be let out ; she was placed in the dead-
house shortly after breakfast, and was released just before
dinner time; and on the following day, in the afternoon, she
was again placed there, and the body was still lying there.
On this occasion she was not let out till it was " darkish ;"
the women and children were about going to bed. Sometimes
she was locked in and sometimes not. One or more times she
slept there, when there was a bed carried in for her, and on
these occasions she was locked in, but when she was not, she
did not dare to come out, and if she cried, her young mistress
would bring a cane and beat her on the back. Witness be-
lieved that she had told one of the gentlemen present (meaning
the guardians), but could not identify which ; but not when
she was examined by them a short time ago, as she was afraid
to do so, as if she had she would have been punished, not by
the guardians—they had never punished her, or ordered her
to be punished, but she was afraid of the master, who has
often slapped her with his hands for the offencealluded to, and
he said if she said anything about him when she went out he
would give it her when she came home again.
Mr. Goddard (one of the guardians) said, at the time the
inquiry took place he was the visiting guardian for the week.
He went round the yard with the child. She did not say that
she had been locked up in the dead-house. She showed him
a dormitory in which she had been placed by herself, and
which statement was also reported to the board.

Mrs. Holkorn, now residing at Herne Bay, was, in March,
1843, an inmate, with five children, of the workhouse. Re-
members Mrs. Ingleton dying on a Sunday, and she helped to
lay out the dead body, and assisted in taking it to the dead-
house. It was put in a shell, and some straw laid under the
head, a sheet was thrown over the body, but not over the
face. On the following morning, Emma Hearnden was
locked in the room by Sarah Bailey, the master's daughter.
The child cried very much, and witness, with another woman,
went to the window and endeavoured to console her. She
was clasping her hands together and begged to be released.
The room in question was known by the inmates as the
" dead-house."

Mr. Walker asked her if she had any conversation with the
child after she came out of the room, to which the witness
somewhat sharply, replied, " No, I dared hardly to speak to
my own children."
Sarah Overy, also in the workhouse at the same time, cor-
roborated the last two witnesses. She also assisted in re-
moving the body of Mrs. Ingleton ; she went twice to the
window to pacify the child, and persuade her not to cry so.
She also deposed to a bed being carried down to the room for
the child to sleep on, but she was, on that occasion, let out at
bed time. Believed that this was after Mrs. Ingleton was
buried •

On the second day, the Court was opened at eleven o'clock,
and was again soon filled by an anxious auditory. Previous
to the examination of the witnesses,
Mr. Ausurr said that the rate-payers of the ville of the
Archbishop's Palace had come to the resolution of engaging
Mr. De Lasaux, professionally, to watch the case in their
name on behalf of the child.

Mr. DE LASAUX then called a woman named Sarah Chees-
man, aged 77 years, but her evidence went merely to prove
the testimony which was admitted by the master on the
former investigation before the Board of Guardians—namely,
that the child had been shut up one night in a down-stair
room away from the other children.
This closed the case for the child.

Mary Walker, on behalf of the master, was first called in,
and on being sworn said—She was between 15 and 16 years
old, and had been an inmate of the workhouse for eight
years. She knew Emma Hearnden, and loved her, and Emma
loved her in return. 'The Hearndens had been there from the
2d of December, 1842. Emma was never punished. Never
kept on bread and water. Never locked up. Never pu-
nished in any other way. Emma was in the habit of wetting
her bed, but never punished for it. Had been reprimanded,
as the other girls had complained to the mistress about it,
and she had been threatened to be sent down to the straw-
room to sleep, but she never was sent down. The threat was
only said to frighten her. The straw-room is one of the
lower rooms away from the other sleeping rooms. It had
been formerly the dead-room, but not for the last twelve
months. The dead-room is now two doors from it. Mrs.
Ingleton died on the 12th of March. No girl could be shut
up without witness knowing it. Emma Hearnden was once
shut up, it was in April, but does not remember what day of
the month it was, for wetting her bed. The school mistress
shut her up (Miss Sarah Bailey acts as upper school mistress)
only about one hour. Thinks it was on a Tuesday about two

Mr. Walker said, " No ;" it had been intended to have ex-
amined Sarah Bailey, "the young mistress" so often named,
but he should decline doing so.
Mr. HALL remarked, that Mr. Walker had been well ad-
vised.

At the request of Mr. De Lasaux, Elizabeth Hearnden was
again called in, but Mr. Hall said it was quite unnecessary to
re-examine her as to the statement of her having shut her
sister up, but she was again questioned, and positively denied
it ; and further, as to some statements made by Mrs: White
and 'the girl Mary Walker.
Mr. HALL then thanked the guardians for their attend-
ance, and remarked that he felt much pleasure in saying
that the very full audience, during the investigation, had
conducted themselves with great propriety, and it was an en-
couragement to him to persevere in his viewsmf giving every
possible publicity to such proceedings. He added, that the
affair would be laid before the Commissioners.

This is the evidence to support our statement; and the
public may glean from it that, but for the exposures of the
press—when that engine is fearlessly employed, and ar-
rayed on the side of truth—what gross inhumanity would
prevail in our public establishments, and how much poverty
would be exposed to the brute nature of man in authority.
Here we have the case of a poor child, whose parent, to our
' knowledge, has seen better days, thrown into a dead house,
as a punishment, because the little creature wetted the bed
on which she slept! Never was anything half so inhuman—
so monstrously brutal—as the conduct of the master has
proved. If ever man possessed a demon heart the Governor
of the Blean Union is that person; his conduct to Emma
Hearden must be execrated by persons of all colours and
creeds; and nothing short of expulsion from his situation
will satisfy an outraged public. Mrs. Holborn's evidence as
to the fact of finding the child in the dead-house, with the
corpse of Mrs. Ingleton, affords a dreadful proof of the shock-
ing treatment to the juvenile paupers. Mrs. Holborn said
" little Emma was locked in the dead-house by Sarah
Bailey, the master's daughter; when she saw the poor
thing, she was clasping her hands and begging to be re-
leased !" The witness Browning corroborated Mrs. Hol-
born's statement; but she (lid not speak to the little prisoner,
seeing " that she hardly dared to do so to her own
children!" What a very hell upon earth must a union be,
where motherly women and children, if they look awry, are
liable to be punished! We now come to the evidence for
the defence ; and, in the first place, a girl named Mary
Walker is called. She declares that Emma was never locked
up or punished for wetting her bed ; and then admits that
she was locked up, and says, moreover, that Emma Hearn-
den's sister released her. Another witness, one Sarah White,
told so many lies for Miss Bailey and her father, as to de-
stroy her credibility. In fact, the evidence for the defence
was a weak invention, and went far to support the charge.
We have no wish to triumph over a man whose guilt has
now been proved beyond the possibility of doubt ; but we
must take credit to ourselves for having brought the matter
to an issue most satisfactory to the ends of justice, but most
damnatory to the reputation of the master and his amiable
daughter. These exposures are calculated to do immense
good. They tend to curb the vicious, and rein in those
whose natures, if they were left alone. would outrage and
disgrace humanity.

Our reporter IG.s especially noticed the conduct of Mr. De
Lasaux, G. Austen, Esq., and Mr. Sharp, of the Castle Inn,
who have been indefatigable in their endeavours to promote
the ends of justice, Indeed, such has been the excitement
at Canterbury, Herne Bay, and their neighbourhoods, that
persons of all shades of politics, warmly pressed forward in
behalf of the little girl who, it has now been proved, was so.-
brutally treated at the instance of the master and his daugh-
ter Betsy_

LORD ASHLEY. AND THE FAC-
-TORY QUESTION.

The following letter has been addressed by Lord Ashley to
Mr. Howarth, the Chairman of the Delegates from the ma-
nufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, in de-
fence of the course his Lordship has taken upon the Factory
Bill : " London, March 29.

" GENTLEMEN,—AS representatives of a large body of the
operatives engaged in the mills and factories of Lancashire
and Yorkshire, you have desired me to give you some expla-
nation of the course I have thought it my duty to pursue in
consenting to the withdrawal of the Bill, and the substitu-
tion of another.

" The Government proposed such a step to the House, as
the only means of extricating the question from the difficul-
ties into which it had been thrown by contradictory votes.
The vote of the House upon the second clause had virtually
determined a ten hours' limitation ; but the vote of the House
on the Bth clause had actually declared that there should be
no such thing; the advantage, therefore, that I had gained
in the first instance was repealed in the second.
" When her Majesty's Ministers signified their intention of
asking leave to withdraw the Bill, I requested time for the
consideration of their proposal. The interval was fully em-
ployed in seeking and in accepting the best advice. I was
urged by Members of all parties, from both sides of the
House, to offer no resistance to the motion of the Govern-
ment; a large number of those gentlemen who had supported
me on the question of ' time,' would not have supported me
in opposing the request of Sir James Graham ; and had I
resisted it, I should, upon a division, have been found in a
very small minority.

"Neither could the debate and the division have led to any
satisfactory issue ; the discussion would have been taken, not
on the great question of limiting the hours of labour, but on
mere matters of business and points of order. We shall be
enabled, by the present arrangement, to pursue a shorter
and more intelligible course ; the debate may then be com-
menced by an amendment to the new Bill, or by some simi-
lar mode ; and the division will declare the opinions of those
who vote whether ten or twelve hours shall be the period
assigned for labour in the factories.

"-You may rest assured that I will never relax my efforts
for the accomplishment of our great object; but I must en-
treat of you a continuance of that confidence which you have
never yet withdrawn. A zealous but legitimate perseverance
on your part will, by God's blessing, insure us an ultimate,
and not remote success.—l am, Gentlemen, your very obe-
dient servant, " ASHLEY.

" Mr. Howarth, Chairman of the Delegates."

CAUTION TO SAVINGS' BANKS.—Last week two per-
sons, one stating that he was an attorney, and the other
that he was one of the executors, called on a stockbroker in
the City, and produced to him a probate of the will of Mr.
Simons, coffee-house keeper, in the Blackfriars-road, whom
they stated to be dead, and said they wished to know the
amount of stock which stood in the deceased's name in the
public funds, alleging that they had ascertained the amount
which he had deposited in a savings' bank. The broker being
busy at the time merely told them that it was not his busi-
ness to give information, and they left. It turns out that Mr.
Simons is alive and well. Where did those persons get the
Prerogative-office stamp?
ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The
model of the forthcoming exhibition was submitted to her
Majesty and the Queen of the Belgians, at Buckingham Pa-
lace, on Thursday last, when their Majesties were graciously
pleased to express their approbation and approval of the
same. We understand the subject is decidedly the richest
and most interesting of any yet produced.
SPRING.--The prevalence of cutaneous visitations
at this period of the year inculcates the necessity of pre-
serving the Skin in a pure and healthy state, so that its func-
tions may be duly performed. The great celebrity which
" Rowland's Kalydor" exclusively maintains as an active yet
mild and soothing agent for extirpating all impurities, and
imparting a healthy freshness to the Skin, is most pleasingly
evinced at the present season. This balmy and odoriferous
creamy liquid is composed of extracts from the most rare
flowers and herbs of an eastern clime—its discovery by a
lady of rank, was no less singular than its effects have been
felicitous during the last thirty years. Its universally great
demand excites the cupidity of unprincipled shopkeepers,
.who give the title of " Genuine" Kalydor to some compounds
of their own manufacture of the most deleterious character,
containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the Com-
plexion, and by their repellant action endangering health.
It is, therefore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words
,‘ Rowland's Kalydor" are on the wrapper.—All others are
fraudulent counterfeits.

A letter from Algiers states that the inhabitants of
the environs have been for some time in great terror from
the appearance of lions and panthers prowling round their
dwellings, and sometimes carrying off human beings. These
wild beasts, it seems, generally disappear in the spring, re-
tiring to the mountains, where they remain till the snow
drives them down again upon the plain.

schoolmistress went round of a night to see if all were do ni.°/
and on missing Emma, Betsy said she was gone to the water-
closet Never told this tale to any one till this (Tuesday)
morning, then told it to a lawyer, Mr. Walker. Knew of
Emilia being called in and examined once in the board-room.
Believes it was about being lockel up. Does not remember
more than that time. On being told by the Commissioner
to look at Mr. De Lasaux, she exclaimed, " Oh, yes, I forgot,
he and - another gentleman came . about a fortnight
ago; the matron was present." Witiftes then commenced a
long tale as to what took place, when the Commissioner said,
"Though you remember all this, you forgot it till I told you
Mr. De Lasaux was at your elbow." Witness then said that
Emina did not tell Mr. D. much ; thought she was afraid.
Coinmissioner" Now, OR your oath, what did the child say
in reply ?" Witness—" That she was afraid of Mr. De
Lasaux.- She then corroborated the witnesses, Holborn,
Browning, and Overy, as to the young mistress having known
that the body was in the dead7room. From questions, sug-
gested by Mr. De Lasaux, she admitted that the matron had
said, had she known what he had come about, she would not
have let him in.
Sarah Walker, nearly 14 years of age, stated she had been
an inmate eight years. Knew Emma Hearnden, and that
her sister Betsey had shut her up all ene night, and that was
all the time she was shut up. Commissioner—" 'Was she not
shut up by the schoolmaster ?" 'Only once, from eight to
nine o'clock in the morning. She was told by Sarah Bronger
that. Betsy had shut her sister up. Sarah Bronger went down
and .spoke to Emma about half-pan eight at night, when she
i was n the straw-room, where Emma stopped all night.
Sarah White was in the workhouse from October, 1842, to
May, 1843, with her husband and family. She was under
schoolmistress. Had Emma Hearnden . under her care.
Never remembers master inquiring about her habit of wetting
the bed. Has heard Miss Bailey say she should be put into
the dead-room, and she was once put there in the month of
April, and was kept there only one hour. •Does not know of
her having been shut up there about the time Mrs. Ingleton
died. This witness made observations calculated entirely to
destroy her credibility.
The Rev. W. Vnple stated, that from hearing the reports
in the papers, he, on the 25th of February, after service,
asked both the boys and girls collectively and separately, if
any of them had been shut up in the night by order of the
governor, and they said,'" No." He named an instance when
some boys were to have been brought before the Board for
misconduct towards the schoOlmaster, when the governor
pleaded for them, on account that he had himself given them
a good caning.
Mr. HALL then asked if they intended to produce any
further evidence?
