      WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATIONS . — The undermentioned Associations of Journeymen of various Trades have commenced business at the addresses below given ; and now call upon a fair-dealing and Christianjpublic for the support of its custom and influence . Tho miseries of unlimited competition , the abuse of the powers of capital , have long taught the working classes that union is their only strength ; but painful experience has likewise shown that strength to bo but wasted , for tho most part , in combinations for the raising of wages , in tho forced idloncsa of strikes . By united labour , therefore , thoy now seek to maintain themselves and their families j and if not always able to compete with the nominal cheap . ness of tho slopsellor or the low-priced tradesman , thoy hope , in the quality and workmanship of their goods , to guarantee to all customers tho fullest value of their orders j whilst those who look beyond the work to the worker—who feel that custom itself lias its morality , and that the working olasses of England havo boon stinted of thoir duo roward in money , hoalth , knowlodgo , and all that makes the man , will surely rejoice in aiding a movement which tends to substitute airy workshops for dens of filth and fever—fair prices for starvation wages—fellowship for division—and moral as well as praotioal self-government for mcohanioal obedience , or thraldom bitterly felt—and by tho peaceful , healthy , intelligent , and gradual processes of labour to oheok for over the blind and sudden struggles of want . For suoh men thoro will be soaroely a criminal or beggar , scarcely a pauper , prostitute , or drunkard , but will supply a living argument for assooiatod labour .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . SatuKPAT Moeitikg > March 13 . The apprehension now fast becoming general that the ministerial course of policy will be fouiur antagonistic to the principles of free trade , and that a dissolution of parliament must shortly give rise to a fierce struggle throughout the country , has had a depressing effect upon business , and the transactions of the week have ^ een characterized by an unusual and Uniform , want of animation . . ^ TheTfailure , for a large amount , of a house in the East India trade , has given cause for unfavourable rumours respecting the stability of others , with what justice must soon be known . . , In consols , the operations have been limited , and with little fluctuation in price . The opening quotation on Monday was 97 ^ f ; on Thursday , after the settlement , which went off quietly , they closed at 97 $ f ; and yesterday , at 97 | . Bank Stock has advanced to 220 . Exchequer Bills are steady at 62 s-to 65 s . premium . In the market for Foreign Stocks there , has been less doing , but prices are fairly supported . Railway Shares , with a limited business , are very steady ¦ in value .

      OUR CLERKS . —The Keeuets . To the English farce , in its common acceptation , I cann » t honestly pifofess attachment ; within my remembrance , no new pia ^ tical joke has been discovered , and the fun is occasionally more dreary than amusing . In fact , when I . desire to laugh , it is my custom to go and see a leading . tragedian in ajparfc he has " made his own . " But when we go to see Bttekstone , or Wright , or the Eleeleys , we do not care to look at the play-bill : if Bucks tone were , to play . J £ ing John , ot iteeley Hamlet , or Mrs . Jteeley Constance , or "Wright King Lear , it would be all one to us : we go to see the actor , nofc the part , Keeley and his wife , as Our Clerks , were quite enough to take me to the Princess's last Saturday ; not to speak of the Corsican Brothers ( in which I begin to discern the possibilities of Charles Kean , as the Ghost in Hamlet , on the improved sliding-scale he has so admirably introduced in this thrilling melodrame ) . Our Clerics are the Keeleys : Mrs . Keeley , the "fast ; " Keeley , the " slow . " What more can be said to recommend you to go , and laugh to your heart ' s content . Oh ! think of poor Keeley smoking a weed under false pretences : trying to light his eigar- ^ -never smoking except when his fast friend ' s eye is upon him—then gulping down the fatal poison with terrible bravado ; presently lolling back , limp and helpless , m his chair ; breaking out into a cold sweat , and bending his head like a broken doll ; at last , creeping to the windowjfor a breath of air ; and all this time a running fire of chaff from the fast clerk , and a burst of triumph at the catastrophe ! This is the scene in the farce . The rest of the business is neither original nor very funny ; and the love business , with the heavy guardian to bring about a happy denouement , is decidedly an ineumbrance . But the truth of the picture of the " reading" and the " briefless" man , and of their way oi hie , iff capital ; and the language throughout is sparkling and neat . " Our Clerks" is a happy contribution to the repertoire of the Keeleys . Xe Chat-Hixant .

      ELLA'S MUSICAL EVENINGS . Among the regrets at the treats I have lost lately , owning to the inexorable hours which will wait for no Vivians , I count that of having missed JElla's Musical Winter Evenings , conducted on the principle of his extremely delightful Musical Union . A more refined musical evening is not to oe had . The music is all of the best , and not too much of it ; the artists are those one loves to hear , being men whose celebrity is fully de- „ served-T-Ernst , Molique , Piatti , Halle " , Pauer , &c . j and the audience is choice , not only in the " exclusive" sense , but also in the musical sense . Covers of " fast" music find no attraction here ; lovers of operatic reminiscences coldly remembered have nothing here to their taste . A quintet of Mozart or Haydn , a sonata of Beethoven , a trio or concerto by Mendelssohn , varied by a couple of songs and a pianoforte solo—that is the whole bill of fare , and I assure you the lover of serious music remembers with pleasure every concert so arranged and executed . As I am in arrears with Mr . Ella , I will conscientiously devote myself to the remaining evenings / not that I am peculiarly sensitive about disappointing Mm , but , like Tony jjumpkin , I don't like disappointing myself , and it is a disappointment not to attend his concerts .
