BIRMINGHAM JOURNAL, MARCH 12.
At a general meeting of the inhabitants of Birmingham, called by the
Council of the Political Union, and held at Mr. Beardsworth's reposi-
tory, March 7th. Thomas Attwood, F.sq. in the chair ; on the motion
of Joshua Scholefield, Esq. seconded by Mr. William Weston, it was
resolved unanimously, that this meeting feels deep and sincere gratitude
to the King's most excellent Majesty, for the great and comprehensive
plan of parliamentary reform which his majesty has graciously autho-
rised his ministers to bring forward ; and this meeting is perfectly con-
vinced, that the success of the great measure proposed is absolutely in-
dispensable to the prosperity, peace, and security of the country.
On the motion of G. F. Munoz, Esq. seconded by Mr. Richard !lip-
kiss, it was resolved unanimously That this meeting pledge themselves
collectively and individually, zealously to support their gracious Sove-
reign and his Ministers, in every possible way that their assistance may be
required,in carrying the most important and salutary measures into effect.
On the motion of the Rev. T. blacdonnell, seconded by Mr. T. C.
Salt, it was resolved unanimously—That the following Address to
his Most Excellent Majesty be adopted by this meeting, and that it
be signed by the Chairman in their name, and on their behalf:
" We. your Majesty'a.dutiful and loyal subjects, the inhabitants of
the town of Birmingham, in Town's Meeting assembled, beg leave
humbly to approach your Majesty, for the purpose of expressing the
deep and sincere gratitude which we feel towards your Majesty's Royal
Person, for the wise, judicious, and comprehensive measures of Paella-
mousey reform, which your Majesty, in your paternal solicitude for
the welfare of your dominions, has graciously authorised your Ministen
to propose to Parliament. We are perfectly convinced, that the success
of those great measures is indispensably necessary to the restoration of
the national prosperity, and to the preservation of the peace and order of
society. But a few weeks ago, the minds of your Majesty's faithful
and loyal people, were involved in painful anxieties, and filled with
deep and gloomy forebodings. The measures of your Majesty's Go-
vernment have dissipated those painful apprehensions, arid spread uni-
versal satisfaction throughout the country. We humbly tender to your
Majesty the expression of our dutiful and grateful attachment to your
Royal Person, and of our determination to support your Majesty's
Government to the utmost of our power. We implore the Almighty
to prosper your Majesty's great and patriotic designs, and to preserve
your Majesty's life,—that your Majesty may long have die gratifica-
tion of witnessing the happiness of a free, grateful, and loyal people.
Several addresses were then moved and carried to both houses of Par-
tnent. The chief speakers were the Rev. kann Kennedy, Hen. Smith,
Esq. the Rev. Mr. Neville, Mr. Parker, the Rev. Mr. Corrie, and Mr.
Redkra.
The following melancholy affair took place at Stratford-upon-Avon
yesterday week. It appears that a younf woman, named Mary Lap.
worth, a ruantua-maker, residing at 11 arwiek, &tended by a young
woman, named Elizabeth Jarrett, in service at Leamington, on their
arrival at Stratford about mid-day, proceeded to the shop of Price and
Williams, druggists, and applied for half an ounce of arsenic, which
they said was for the purpose of destroying rats. Mr. P. knowing the
panic, did not hesitate to dispose of it to them. Oa obtaining the
arsenic, they purchased two cups in the market, and proceeded about
half a mile along the Warwick road, when on entering the field ad-
joing the farm of Mr. Hardy, they mixed the pobou with water, and
drank it. They then proceeded to the lodge of Mr. Lloyd, at Wel.
combe.hill, and requested of a woman who occupies the cottage, to give
them some water, as they felt quite thirsty in consequence of having
taken arsenic. Becoming alarmingly indisposed, a messenger was
despatched to Stratford for medical relief, and the two women were put
into a cart with the view of taking them to that town. On arriving at
the Mulberry Tree public-house, at Stratford, Mr. Pritchard applied
th.: stomach pump, which in a great measure dispossessed the stomach
of one of the women of its contents; but notwithstanding this and every
other assistance were given, one died at nine the same evening, and the
other at three the following morning.—An inquest was held on Satur-
day, when a verdict ot fele de se was returned in the case of Sarah
Jarrett, and lunacy on that of Miss Lapworth. The former was 25
and the latter only 18 years of age ; and disappointment in a love affair
bas been stated as the cause for the act.
In the afternoon of Wednesday, the Grand Jury at Warwick Ses-
sions brought into Court two Bills against Joseph Allday and William
Chidlow, for libel. The defamatory language, for which the defendants
are indicted, is contained in the January and February numbers of the
Argus. The first indictnieut is preferred by Mr. Mord; the sine-
merchant, and the second Slr. Parkes, the solicitor. Mr. Harwood with
whom was Mr. Guest) as counsel for the prosecution, moved the beach
to respite the recognizences in the case of Edmonds against Chidlow.
The certificate of Mr. Grainger, the surgeon, was put in and read, in
which it was stated that Mr. Edmond' was seriously ill, and his atten-
dance at the Soudan would be extremely dangerous. The Magistrates
promptly acceded to the motion.
Sir E. Eardley %Wilmot; having iodinated that the other indict-
' meats against Allday and Chidlow, upon which bills had been Wood,
would be tried in the other Court, dine was an immediate rush to ob-
tain seats. On being called upon, the defendants appeared on the floor
! of the Court, and alter the indictments had been read pleaded Not
Guilty. Mr. Finnelly appeared as counsel for Chidlow, and claimed
the right of traversing uutil the next St ssions. Allday said he was
prepared for triaL—Mr. Harwood submitted, in joint indictments,
when one of the defendants traversed, the prosecutors had the right
to compel the other to do so. They should, therefore, require
Allday to rota into recognizance', Cu try along with Chidlow.
A discussion then ensued between the counsel ; and at length Mr. Hol-
beche decided that if Chidlow traversed, it was optional with the pro-
secutors whether they proceeded with the trial of Ailday. Mr. Har-
wood said, they should try both at the same time. 'Mr. Holbechw,
then the defendants must find bail to appear and try at the next sessions,
which will be in Easier week. Mr. John Allday offered himself as
I one of the bail for his brother, and the defendant not being able to
! find another surety in the Court, the Magistrates consented to take him
in double the amount. Mr. J. Allday thee entered into a recognizance
of 401. on each indictment, and the defendant in the same amount.
Mr. Frith was afterwards likewise taken as double bail for Chid ow.
We are informed that Meyers. Attwood. ficholefield, and Munts have
had very satisfactory interviews with his Majesty's minima; who have
expressed themselves much pleased with the cordiality and unanimity of
sentiment which prevails in the town of Birmingham, respecting the
great measures of reform now before parliament. It is confidently be-
heved that his majesty's government—supported, as they are, by the
great mass of the people. not only in Birmingham, but throughout the
united kingdom generally—can have no difficulty whatever In carrying
their great and pstrio le designs into full effect. Thus, the long.bnested
and justly-estimated principles of the British constitution will no longer
. be a fiction. The command of the people's own house will saw be
transferred from the hands of about 164 rich individuals, into those of
about one million respectable householder; selected from among them-
selves, and having every inducement that men can have, not only to pro-
tect the grand interests of the country, but to secure alike the just

privileges of the aristocracy. and them:red prerogatives of B:spittle' king,
from whose wisdom and virtue this inestimable improvement Inoue po-
litical system will principally derive its origin.
There is, we Wiese, every probability of the Birmingham and Li.'
verpool Railway BSI passing. In addition to Mr. Giffard, who as.
:tented in the most liberal and handsome manner, in an early stage of
the business, to the railway cruising his estate, Lord Anaun end the
Hon. Mr. Monekton have now withdrawn their objections.

MANCHESTER AND SALFORD ADVERTIZER,
MARCII 16.

On Wednesday last a numerous and most respectable meeting of the
inhabitants of this town was held in the Town Hall, for the purpose of
expressing their approbation of the conduct of his Majesty's ministers,
in bringing forward tbeir measure of parliamentary reform. The room
was excessively crowded, there being not less, we should think, than
two thousand persons present ; and never did we see so numerous an
attendance of the higher claws of the town, es on this occasion. Soon
atter ten o'clock, the boroughreeve and constables, accompanied
by the requisitionists, entered the room, and, on the motion
of Mr. Edward Baxter, the horoughreeve was called to the chair.
Mr. R. Potter then rose amidst loud and long-continued applause, to
propose the first resolution. lilt. E. Baxter had great pleasure in again
meeting his fellow townsmen, and also in seconding the resolution
which had been proposed by his friend Mr. Potter. Mr. J. A. Monroe
then rose to propose an amendment. He stated that when he consi-
dered his state and circumstances in society, he was afraid he might be
liable to the charge of presumption in rising to address so large and res-
pectable a meeting, but it was a matter of conscience which induced
him to come forward and propose an amendment. The Speaker here
read the amendment, which was—" That in the opinion of this meet-
ing, the measure of reform brought forward by his Majesty's Ministers
is insufficient unless it include an extension of the elective franchise
an& the vote by ballot."
Mr. Prentice hoped that the amendment might be so worded as
to come within the terms of the requisition. If this were not done, and
the mover of the amendment were not allowed to express his sentiments,
an opinion would go abroad that he had not been fairly dealt with, and
that opportunity had not been given fur full and fair discussion.—
After a few words from Mr. Alex. Kay. who thought the interruption
irregular, Mr. Monroe consented to withdraw his amendment.
The business of the meeting being unanimously concluded, Mr.
Richard Potter came forward and said he had great pleasure in intro-
ducing to the meeting O'Gorman Mahon, the late member foe Clare.
He had been a fellow-labourer with him (Mr. Potter) in the late
Catholic association, and he had often witnessed his valuable citations
in defense of that great cause, the success of which they had that day
met to forward.

O'Gorman Mahon then mounted the table, and was received with
deafening shouts of applause, which lasted for some time. When
those had subsided he proceeded to address the meeting in a very elo.
quent and energetic manner. He commenced by Raying that never could
he recur, after taking his depot= hence that evening, to the chance
that brought him to this wealthy, populous, and industrious town_
never could he recur to it without feelings of the most heart-felt delight
and satisfaction, since it gave him an opportunity of witnessing
scene, novel indal, but similar to which, perhaps his practised eye
might have observed something in other places ; but it was a scene to
which kings and ministers were complete strangers. (Cheers.) The
hon. gentleman then congratulated the meeting on the occas which
had brought them together, and said that before twenty-four hours
were elapsed, he hoped to have the pleasure of addressing an assembly
of his own countrymen,whom he would urge to join in the same glorious
cause. After alluding to the tricolour and the fisg of the British navy,
both of which, as the emblems of liberty, be should like to see united in
disseminating that blessing throughout the whole world, the hon. gent.
referred to the passing events in Italy and Poland, and expressed a hope
that the brave people of the latter country would be able to repulse those
hordes of savages, who were pouring down upon them, to defeat their
struggles for liberty.— In concluding our report of these proceedings, we
cannot but praise the conduct of the working classes who were present.:
They cordially supported the resolutions, though the ministerial plan
does not go the length they wish. By doing this they completely falsify
the imputation thrown out against thm by the enemies of reform, that
they are levellers and revolutionists. The same good sense has marked
the proceedings of the working classes at Wigan, Ashton, and other
places in this neighbourhood, at which similar meetings have been held
during the week.
A full report of the proceedings would fill a page of our paper.
Messrs. Potter, Baxter, Prentice, Phillips, Shuttleworth, Dyer, Grey,
Detrosier, Hadfield, Wood, and some others, displayed talents and ex.
pressed sentiments which would do honour to the senate.
it/FORY MIETIWO AT ROCHDALE,—Yesterlisy a most numerous
and highly respectable meeting was held in the Town Hall, Rochdale,
John Elliott, Esq. in the chair, for the purpose of expressing their
thanks to, and their determination to support his majesty s ministers in
their admirable bill of reform ; and also petitioning that Rochdale might
be included in the list of towns to be represented, containing 20,000 in-
habitants. The feeling throughout the meeting was most cordial and
unanimous. Some excellent, though short, speeches were made.
THE REPRESENTATION.—By the ministerial plan of reform LSD.
cashire will obtain an addition of eight members, and will lose three of
its old ones. In future, Newton will return no members, and Clitbero
will only return one instead of two. Toe members added will be two
for this county, two for Manchester, and one each for Blackburn, War-
rington, Bolton, and Stockport.
MANCHESTER SPINNIRS.—AROther turn-out of fine spinners has
taken place this week, in that department called large wheel spinners.
It appears that in the list submitted by the mama spinner. to their men
in Intal, the large wheel spinners were allowed to sork at prices 20 per
cent. less than thole engaged on the small wheels, and this regulation
continued trunk the time the men resumed their work in October of that
year. The owners of small wheels, however, finding they could not
compete with their neighbours in the market, if this distinction con-
tinued, they, a few weeks ago, drew up a price-list approaching some-
what nearer to what the large wheel spinners were receiving, and to which
mar men readily assented. In order to meet this change, the owners of
the large wheel. h.tve given notice to drop ten banks in the pound; and
it is to resist this reduction that the spinners have turned out. We un-
derstand that the work on this class of wheels is much more laborious
than on the smaller ones; and it is stated that at the proposed reduction
the men will nut be able to earn more than from 18s. to 20s. per week.

POSTLETHWAITE v. MERIITWEATHEIL.—This was an action („/

DUBLIN MORNING REGISTER, MARCH 16.
[By an enor in our last quotation from this paper, FED. was printed
for MARCH.
At a meet kg of the Protestant and Roman Catholic clergymen, ani
principal landholders of the parishes of Castleman, Kileolman, Kih
mavee, and Kilbeha, in the barony of Costiloe, county Mayo, held h
Ballaghaderin, on the 26th ult. for the purpose of inquiring Into the
degree of distress prevailing in those parishes, it was ascertained by
the concurring testimony of several most competent and unques.
tionable witnesses that the potato crop, which constitutes the ordinary,
or rather the sole food of the great body of the population in that
extensive district, failed to a lamentable and frightful degree in the
preceding year. The deficiency amounted. by the clearest evidence, at
least to one third of an average crop, and a further decrease was occa-
sioned by early digging in summer, before the crop arrived at a proper
maturity. It likewise appeared that there are several families at the
present-moment quite destitute of food ; and many hundreds, with a
view of economizing their scanty store, are dragging on a tniserable ex.
lateen, on one meal in the twenty-four hours, and that the entire stock
of potatoes in the whole district will be consumed early in May. The
torn growth in the same district was fur the most pan sold out last
harvest to satisfy the demands foe rent, tithes, county rates, and, in
many instances to pay for the food which the starving were obliged to
raise, at an exorbitant rate of interest, during the seardty which pre-
vailed among them during last Summer... Connastyhe Journal.
