FORCIBLE RESISTANCE TO POOR-RATES.—In a
dition to the intelligence contained in our last, with
respect to the popular discontent with the rates, and
the lawless determination to resist the collection by
force, we have now to state that the depot of the 35th
Regiment, stationed at Carrick-on-Suir, were ordered
to be in readiness on Friday (to-day), to collect poor.
rates ; and a party of the 7th Dragoon Guards, quar-
tered in Clonmel, are to move to Carrick to assist.—

REDUCTION OF WAGES IN AMERICA.—The owners
of our factories, we should judge, mean to make
money. In addition to what they gain by the taxes
which the new tariff imposes for their benefit, they are
taking measures to increase their profits by lowering
the wages of their workmen. We published the other
day some instances of this. We since learn that the
factories of the Messrs. Wild, at Columbiaville, in
Columbia county, have stopped within a few days past,
for the reason that the workmen would not consent to
a reduction of 25 per cent. on their wages. The Albany
Argus of yesterday has this paragraph :—" Another
Turn
of
f the
workmen
mocraticin the harmony Factory, at the
Screw.--We cr e Nv.
village of Cohoes, have struck, not for higher wages,
or the two dollars! a day and roast beef,' but in
consequence of a reduction of twenty per cent. on the
rates heretofore paid. A correspondent states that it
uhad been the talk at the factory previous to this re-
duction of wages, that all the democrats were to be
dismissed for not voting the Whig ticket ; and the
inference was that the cutting down wages was to
force them to quit, rather than to eject them directly."

MARTIAL.—The
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have approved
and confirmed the sentence of the General Court-
martial held on Sergeant John Bradshaw, first clerk
in the Paymaster's-office of the Woolwich division
of Royal Marines, who was arraigned on the follow-
ing charge :—For having . at various times, between
the 2Gth of May arid 22d of October, 1841, he being
at the time the first (and a salaried) clerk in the office
of the Paymaster of the Woolwich division of Royal
Marines, falsified certain receipts and vouchers for
money paid by him, and also made false entries in the
account kept and rendered by him of the amount of
moneys he received through which means he embezzled
or fraudulently misapplied the several sums of money.
The amount of the item so embezzled is 571.195. 4d.
The Court having found the prisoner guilty of the
whole of the charge preferred against him, now
sentenced him to be reduced to the rank and pay
of a private sentinel ; to be imprisoned for the space
of two years, and further imprisonment until the defi-
ciency, namely, 571. 19s. 4d., after deducting 101.
found concealed and now in the hands of the paymas-
ter, be made good, and then to be dismissed her Ma-
jesty's service. The Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty have ordered that the prisoner be confined in
Maidstone gaol, in terms of the sentence.
The Treaty of Peace with China will leave dis-
posable a large land and sea force. A private
letter from Bombay mentions, that Sir .Uenry
Pottinger had proposed to take ad";niage of
these means, and to proceed to :r
span, and demand
satisfaction for the long. 4.;
con..nued insults we
have endured from the Emperor, and to re-
quire admission for our ships to those islands on
terms of mutual mercantile advantage. We
cannot say how far our COrrespondent's in-
formation may prove cor..!ect, but we have heard
that this is not the first time the matter has been
proposed to Government. The cruelties exercised
against the crews of vessels wrecked on these
islands demand that some steps should be taken ; and
no more favourable opportunity has bean afforded than
the presence of our ships and troops in China, from
which they can easily be directed upon Jeddo, and
other ports in Japan.—Naval and Military Gazette:
A letter from Bayonne of the 23d says :—" The
accounts from Saragossa of the 19th, in the morning,
announce that nothing new had occurred there ; the
events at Barcelona were known. Much anxiety was
felt at Lerida on the 18th."—Le Moniteur, Nov. 26.

H. ASHWORTH Esq., of Bolton, in an excellent
speech, followed ifs. Bright, and was received with
great cheering.
Mr. COBDEN then rose, amidst great. applause, in
support of the first resolution. He said he had heard
a reference to the power-loom and the spinning-
jenny, and he presumed that it was meant that those
inventions were the cause of the present distress.—
(Hear, hear.) Why, if the distress was confined to
the worker with power-looms, or hand-looms, or spin-
ning jennies, there' might probably be an easy, solu-
tion of their difficulties. But when he had just come
from Sheffield, where he had been surprised, on going
through the workshops, and found them labouring
still with their primitive tools ; where he had mar-
velled to see with what wonderful dexterity a man
would hammer out the finest penknife or razor with
a mere hammer and anvil; when he knew that in
the midland counties, where they made hosiery by
machinery, which had not been materially altered for
two hundred and forty years—(Hear)—to which
there had been no application of steam, and when
there had been no change of fashion, and no variation
whatever, except that there had been more people
wearing stockings now than at any time before—
(Cries of" Many are without," and loud cheers)—
and when he knew that bad as might be their
condition in Huddersfield, it was comfort and happi-
ness compared with the present state of those working
as framework knitters in the counties of Leicester
and Nottingham ; when he knew these fa cts,he could
not receive the objections to machinery as being a
sufficient solution of the difficulties which now beset
this country.—(Hear, hear.) . Why, if the absence
of machinery was calculated to promote prosperity
in a community, he thought then that poor un-
happy Ireland ought to be the most blessed
country upon the face of the earth.—(Applause.)
But really this question of machinery, if it were pos-
sible that we could prevent machinery, and if that
would do them any good, did appear to him to be
quite beside the present question more immediately
in hand.—(Hear, hear.) They had a proposition to
make to the public mind of this country, which,
whether there might be fewer or more machines,
they held under all circumstances to be necessary
for the prosperity of this country.—(Hear, hear.) It
had been well stated by his friend, Mr. Bright, that
where there was a limited supply of food the limited
quantity must fall chiefly upon the working classes,
and he (Mr. Cobden) held another proposition which
Mr. Bright did not state to them, that all the increase
of food that would be brought into the country con-
sequent upon the repeal of the Corn-laws would all
be consumed by the working classes.—(Hear, hear,
and applause.) If the middle classes no have
enough bread, they would not eat more bread if
twenty millions of quarters were to be imported next
year. He knew a difficulty which some people
might entertain on the subject of the importation of
corn. It might be argued if a large quantity of corn
were imported, it would only diminish production at
home, and that it would throw out of employment
agricultural labourers to give increased employment
to manufacturing operatives. This goes on the sup-
position of the working classes already having suf-
ficient food. He maintained that it was. an unde-
niable proposition that of the people of this country
not more than three parts out of the fox''r were fed as
they ought to be fed.—(Hear.) With regard to the
policy of the Anti-Corn-law League in the present
movement, and what was intended by the Council to
entitle themselves to their confidence, he said that as
members of that League they had met that assembly,
as they had heard from their worthy chairman and
others, with a design of raising a large sum of money
for the purpose of effecting a total repeal of the Corn-
laws,—(Hear, hear.) Now it was right that the
gentlemen present who might contemplate aiding
themselves—for they would not aid the League
more than themselves—it was due to them that they
should know who and what the men were who asheii
for the money, and to what purpose they intended to
apply it. The Anti-Corn-law League was founded
about four years ago, for the purpose of effecting, by
constitutional and legal means, a repeal of the Corn
and Provision-laws. They had been industriously at
work hitherto, with all the means placed at their
disposal—disseminating information, and creating dis-
cussion to enlighten the public mind upon the subject
of these monopolies. It was something new in an
agitation in this country, that the individuals who
were taking a prominent part in it were not men
seeking political objects of any kind.—(Hear, hear.)
They came before them as men of business like them-
selves, having no objects but those in which the
audience were as much interested as themselves—
(Hear, hear)—and they came before them pledged
that they would follow out the agitation without
turning to the right hand or to the left, or seeking any
other object. To seduce them from that object they had
tempters from above, and tempters from below—they
had been in the shape of aristocrats themselves, and
they had men in the aristocratic service masquerading
in fustian jackets, for the purpose of tempting them,
if they could, to go from the object. They had not
listened to any such temptations—they had not incor-
porated with their agitation any other object what-
ever, nor would they.—(Hear, and loud applause.)
They (the Council) thought that this was the time,
when they had already shaken the fortress, to give a
mighty onslaught upon the citadel of corruption
itself.—(Applause.) They had already begun an
organization which would enable them to distribute
such masses of overpowering evidence on the question,
as they believed would induce every man who had
the candour to avow his belief of the justice and
policy of their cause.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The
Council of the League had not waited for them to
raise the money before they began the process.—
(Hear, hear.) They were told by, the monopolist
press, when they had the hardihood to throw out
this proposition to their fellow-countrynien, they might
as well have asked for 50,000,0001. as for 50,000/.
The Anti-Corn-law League took a very different
estimate of the disposition of their countrymen.
(Hear, hear.) Without waiting for the money to 'oe
raised, the League had every press in Manchester
engaged in their service, preparing the evidence in
support of their object which they were going to lay
before the country.-(Loud applause.) Well, they
might say the monopolists would not read their evi-
dence ; they could not get them to buy tracts and
papers. Well, he would tell them another plan the
League had adopted in order to put the evidence
into every Conservative house and news-room. They
went to the publishers of every magazine in the
coun-
try, and they paid them for stitching in every periodi-
cal among their own pages, a certain number of
pages upon the Anti-Corn-law question, And thus the
Duke of Buckingham himself, at his seat at Stowe,
finds, every first of the month, when he receives
Blackwood's Magazine, and every other periodical,
a tract containing sound doctrines against his darling
Corn-law. They had other means by which they in-
tended to get evidence into the hands of every voter
in the country ; and were these not the right moans to
be pursued ?—(Applause.) If they approved of their
plans, he called upon them to co-operate in raising
the necessary expenses for carrying out the plan
They must put their shoulders to the wheel. They
must have advocates. How would they fare Ir. a
Court of Justice, if they had ever so good A
they had not money to purchase for .Cause, if
7 .selves an ad-
vocate.—(Hear, hear.) If they 'made the electoral
body fully acquainted with +:-,de question of the Corn-
laws, they would no+.,ilave to wait long before that
body—the i"...erests of all being inseparably connected
vv..' •
—II the question—would do justice to the community
at large.—(Hear, hear.) It would not be necessary
to wait for another general election ; there was magic
even in the process of raising 50,0002.--(Cheers.)
Mr. Cobden made some further observations on the
past laborious exertions of the League, by which he
considered the struggle for Corn-law repeal had been
nearly consummated, and that now speedily the great
victory might be realised, concluding his able speech
by an appeal for the pecuniary and personal aid of all
present.—(Loud and continued applause.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution to the meet-
ing, which was carried unanimously.
J. T. CLAY, Esq., of Rastrick, moved the second
resolution, which he read as follows That the
partial' modification of the Corn-laws which took
place during the last session of Parliament, is attri-
butable mainly to the existence and operations of
the Anti-Corn-law League; and it is only to the
influence and exertions of the same Association, im-
proved and strengthened by an increase. of numb
look
ers,
intelligence, and funds, that this meeting can

DUBLIN', Nov. 26.—His Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant received the following letter, yesterday,
from the Home Secretary, enclosing a copy of the
official notification transmittedhim (Sir J. G. Graham)
by Lord Stanley :

" Whitehall, Nov. 23, 1842.
My Lord,—l have great satisfaction in transmit-
ng to your Excellency a copy of a communication,
which I have received from Lord Stanley, announcing
the signal success obtained by her Majesty's arms in
India and China; and I request your Excellency to
make known, in the usual manner, this welcome news.
—I am, with great truth and respect, my Lord, your
Excellency's obedient servant,
(Signed) "J. G. GRAHAM.
" His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, &c.,
Dublin Castle."
The garrison paraded in review order near the Wel-
lington testimonial, in the Phoenix-park, at half-past
twelve o'clock this day, and at one o'clock fired. a
feu de joie in honour of the victories obtained by her
Majesty's forces in Affghanistan and China. A field
battery of Artillery fired 21 guns in the Park, in
honour of the above triumphant successes.

Although the betting on the Derby extended over
more than the usual number of horses, and was brisk on
some of the outsiders ; it failed to produce any very
striking alterations. The three 'favourites were steady

is still in the land of the living (the accident having oc-
curred to a yearling colt, named Zanoni, belonging to
the Earl of Eglinton), had two or three friends at the
advance on the average, prelious to the report that he
had broken his back. Sir Gilbert Heathcote's horses
were frequently mentioned, and one of them, Amorino,
backed freely ; an increase is observable in the odds
against the lot. The prices named against the Brocard
colt (sold to a Mr. Gray), Chesterfield, St. Valentine,
Lucette colt, Languish colt, Oxygen colt, Pastille colt,
&c., were in almost every case taken several times, and
afterwards offered.
