      own way for a long tune . They have turned I the screw so tight that symptoms of collapse are everywhere evident . The reaction upon ) themselves is beginning , and th ey will have to reap part of the whirlwind they have sowed . By gradual , or hy sudden means , their grasp of the throat of the nation must he unloosed , in order that it may breathe more freely . ^ Some very sanguine persons go so far as to imagine that the Ministry will , next Session , propose a large extension of the Suffrage ! If left to themselves , they will certainl y do nothing of the kind . But we do not forget that Lord John is made of squezable materials ; and if the Parliamentary Keform Movement own way for a Ions tune . Thev have tnmprt

      progresses as it has done , it is possible hemay try to appease the popular demand by offering a "little go" of his own . Sir Joshua Walmslet and his ftiends should he prepared for such a move in the best of all waysnamely , by the determination not to abate one jot of the demands they make . Anything short of them will he a mockery , a delusion and a snare ; and if they draw hack from the position in which they have secured the cooperation of the Chartists , that body will certainly be bound to oppose them , and to exert all its energies for the attainment of the fullest

      possible measure of Representative Reform . In the interval which will yet elapse before the re-assembling of Parliament , the advocates of Reform and Retrenchment should everywhere bestir themselves vigorously . All public questions are really decided out of doors . It does not matter whether Russell or Peel ar » Ministers ; both must obey the unequivocally expressed will of the people .

      Queen Adelaide. The Death, Of The Queen ...

      QUEEN ADELAIDE . The death , of the Queen Dowager has given occasion for the display of a great deal of that maudlin sentimentality , and canting loyalty , which is common on such events . We have-no doubt that she was a very good lady in her way , bat certainly the virtue which her eulogists most strenuousl y insist upon , namely , her large donations to charitable and religious purposes , is subject to a large deduction . If the British Parliament had not been so lavish of the people ' s money in the first place , we question whether her subscriptions would have

      been so numerous . £ 100 , 000 a year , and a town and country palace , were no mean reversionary windfalls for the daughter of the Prince of a petty German territory , not half the size of the smallest county in England , and whose metropolis was inferior , in number of houses and population , to many of our own rural market towns . Tv " e could have received four-fifths , instead of one-fifth of such an allowance hack again , with the greatest composure . Besides , to what purposes were a greater portion of these donations applied ? Merely to extend the influence , and improve

      the position , ofthe Clergy . They pocketed the pounds in one shape or other , and , of course , took care that the praise should he duly paid in return . The people were taxed , to put a large sum of money in one person's pocket She gave a pari of it back to her favourites , and a few smaller crumbs fell to the share ofthe very destitute , and then we were told to he very grateful for the benevolence and charity of the Royal Lady . We

      trust the day of such monstrous allowances to Royal Personages has gone by , never to return . With the mass of sweltering misery and destitution -which exists around us—with the middle classes struggling , in the face of a fierce competition and falling prices , to pay heavy rates and taxes—it is a national disgrace that such a disproportion should exist hetween the income ofthe idle non-producer , and the industrious producers and distributors of wealth .

      Nearly 1 , 000 , 0007 . sterling has been paid to the deceased QuEEX . Why , that sum would have established Ten Model Self-Supporting Colonies , in as many counties , for the education and industrial training of the juvenile pauper and criminal population . It would have rescued thousands from destitution , vice , crime , and a shameful end—and have added to the strength , wealth , and happiness of the whole empire .

      Suppose that some rational Member of Parliament was to rise , at the opening of the Session , and propose that the lapsed pension should he applied to that object ? What an outcry there would he against him 1 Yet we are content to squander millions in this unjustifiable and extravagant fashion , while the masses of the people grow np untaught , uncared for—in the midst of the most vicious and debasing influences .

      Verily , we have yet to learn the first principles of Justice , Civilisation , and Christianity .

      Tub Fate of Sik Joh . y Fbaxklly . — The Irene officers have just been summoned to the Admiralty to offer their joint advice as to the course which it seems most proper to pursue under the present condition of things with reference to the fate of Sir John Franklin . Sir John Eiebardson , in his report to the Admiralty , presents strong grounds of hope that the missing expedition majr be shut up under circumstances that are compatible with its reappearance . According to him , the lands in the neighbourhood of which the lost expedition should mostprobably be looked for , abound in animals which might supply the failing stores oh board the ships ; and he thinks that should Sir John Franklin ' s provisions become so far reduced as to be inadequate , ¦ with this aid , to a winter's consumption , it is not likely that he-would remain longer by his shipsbut rather , it is probable , that in one body , or ini

      several , the officers , and crews — with boats cut down so as to be light enough to drag over the ice , or built expressly for that purpose — would endeavour to make their yay eastward to Lancaster Sound , or southward to tho main land , according to the longitude ia which the ships were arrested . Great stress was laid on the fact , that no trace of a wreck , or of any misfortune to the expedition , is foundjm any part ofthe path which they must have passeX For ourselves we think thia argument tells both -ways . "We rejoice to know , however , that the search after the missing adventurers is to be renewed . The Enterprise and Investigator are to be immediately re-equipped and despatched at once to the Sandwich . Island—there to await further orders-. For this it will he seen that tha route to Behrmg s Straits is to be exp lore !! , and the westward coasts of Banks ' s and Parry ' s islands will , We presume , be carefully examined . —Afowwm ,

      LETTERS TO THE WORKING CLASSES . LXIX . " Words are things , and a small drop of ink Falling-like dew—upon a thought , produces ? VbS' makes th 0 usaaas » perhaps mffligns , tnms , EXBOjf . TREATMENT OF CHARTIST PRISONERS . CONDITION OF THE LABOURING

      CLASSES . Brother Proletarians , The present situation ofthe Chartist prisoners ( Shaw and Bezer , ) confined in Newgate prison , occupied the attention ofthe City Court of Aldermen on Tuesdaylast . It appears , that for some time after the commencenient of their incarceration , they were treated wii hsomedegree of Immanity ; but for months past they have been subjected to the severest restrictions . It is alleged , as a reason for this change . of treatment for the worse , that Bezer and Shaw " misconducted themselves , " and " abused the privileges , " permitted to them . The kind of " misconduct" and " abuse" is

      not stated ; but it would appear , from the statement of Mr . Alderman Wilson , that one offence consisted of " wr iting to , and receiving from Chartists outside , letters imbued with their dangerous politics . " Mr . Alderman GARDEN "believed they Lad connexion with the Chartist journals , b y which so much mischief had been prorogated , and that they cooperated to generalise the venom of the doctrines to which they were known to be favourable . " Sir Peter Laurie added , that" The abuses they had committed , extended to attempts to excite political sympathies of the most dangerous kind , and the magistracy of London had resorted to the most judicious expedients to remedy an evil of such magnitude . "

      It appears , from the subsequent statement of Alderman Sidney , that the "judicious expedients" approved of by Sir-Peter Lavrie included confinement of the two Chartists in the " condemned cells . " The other " expedients " we shall probably not be informed of until Shaw and Bezer are at liberty ; but the character of their general treatment may be inferred from Mr . Alderman Sidney ' s significant words : — " He could not help saying , that prejudices had been strongly exercised against the prisoners , and that in their , case the laws of humanity had been violated . "

      From the tone of Messrs . Wilson , Garden , and Laurie , it is evident that whatever "breaches of discipline , " or other " misconduct , " Shaw and Bezer may have been guilty of , their worst offence has been that of holding certain political sentiments , giving expression to those sentiments , and endeavouring to excite sympathy amongst their friends " outside . " Their only connexion with this , or any other Chartist journal , has been that of using its columns to make known their sufferings and grievances . "Was it not natural that they should seek the sympathy and help of their friends ? Was it not honourable for

      them to adhere to their political principles , notwithstanding their incarceration ? If SO , what condemnation would be too severe for those magistrates and aldermen who have dared to punish such " offences" by incarcerating the " offenders" in " condemned cells , " and otherwise treating them in such a manner as to cause one of their own body to declare , that "the laws of humanity had been violated ?" The foolish short-sightedness of ministers and magistrates , judges and gaolers , is truly amazing . On the deaths of Williams and Sharp , it was generally expected that the Chartist

      prisoners would , one and all , have been set at liberty . That expectation has not been fulfilled . A few of the Lancashire and Yorkshire prisoners—whose punishment hail nearly expired—were given their liberty a few weeks in advance of the time when , in the natural course of their sentences , they would have been set free ; but there Whig mercy halted . It is probable that most of the victims yet remaining in prison arc kept in durance because the powers that be will not show clemency to two or three prominent men , and cannot consistently liberate all but them . It is strange that our rulers cannot see the wretched

      impolicy of such a course . Men of education and aspiring sentiments , pursued with unceasing vengeance , will naturally become more and more imbued with hatred towards those who rule , and the institutions by which they rule . The traveller , who was rendered pliable by the smiles of the sun , was made defiant by the bufferings of the Storm . Every additional day that a Jones or » M'Douall is tortured by confinement , and tho thousand other miseries of a prison-hell , stronger and stronger must grow his hatred of his oppressors , Tbe day will come whenthe ' term of punishment to which our friends were sentenced will be completed , and they will leave their dungeons without grace or favour on the part of the ruling powers . Whether they will re-enter society more " lop } , " and more devoted to " Queen aud Constitution , " we shall see !

      Notwithstanding very recent boastings of " good trade" and " prosperity , " the country seems to be rapidly nearing to that state of depression which not very long ago , wrought such sad havoc amongst the factory masses . From Manchester , tho news this week is exceedingly discouraging . Diminished production is the order of the day , and a general adoption of " short time" is daily expected . In the agricultural districts , incendiary fires are on the increase—a sure sign that the usually quiescent labourers find their misery no longer bearable . The reduction of wages in the agricultural districts , is not confined to the tillers of the soil ; the farmers arc reducing carpenters , masons , < fcc , from

      2 s . M . to 2 s . a-day . This should be matter for serious reflection on the part of mechanics and artisans . With their wages ( in country places ) reduced to 12 s . a week , how long will they be able to keep above that lower depth of misery implied in the 5 s . and Cs . weekly of the despairing torch-bearers o ! " Swing ? " Is it not time that the millions made an effort—united and determined—to save themselves from sinking , utterly and hopelessly , to the level of Irish wretchedness ? By heavens ! the patience—or , rather , the suicidal apathy—of tho masses is wonderful and pitiable ! I observe , that there is a dispute between the engine-drivers on the East Lancashire Railway , and

      the Directors of that line , which dispute , up to last Saturday , was likely to lead to a strike on tha pavt ofthe former , commencing from the evening of that day . I have no certain information that ths enginedrivers and firemen did " strike" on Saturday ; but if so , or otherwise , their cause has claims on the public . I gather from a statement in the Daily jfews— written , evidently , with leanings against the men—that the dispute is of at least two motrths ' standing . It appears , that in the month of October the men forwarded a memorial to the Slanager ofthe

      line , complaining of grievances , as to Lows of labour and amount of remuneration ; and in which —expressing their dissatisfaction with Mr . Ro \ le , Superintendent of the Line—they demanded his dismissal . After considerable negotiation , fair promises of redress and satisfaction were given by the manager ; but those promises were evaded or violated . A second memorial the manager would not deign even to notice . At length , on the 19 th of November , the men forwarded another memorial" to the Directors , " which seems to have brought matters to a crisis . In the said memorial the men

      declared : — « ' 1 st . That they had repeatedly , but in ram , com-E lainedof 'the total unfitness of Mr . Royle , to 11 the office of superintendent . They again solicited his dismissal . ' -. " 2 nd . That agreements , as to wages , had been grossly violated by the management of the line . ' For instance , ' says the memorial ! ' the amount to be paid to the engine men as wages has not been paid according to agreement . ' ' The agreement as to mileage , and number of hours to make a day , has not been observed , ic ., Ac . '" " 3 rd . That experienced and competent men had been discharged , while young men had been kept on . Thev required that this course should be rehands ht be

      versed , whenever a reduction of ' mig necessary . The . , . , ., , " 4 th grievance cannot be expressed in abridged terms ; the memorial says : ' Sometimes when running trains , we receives order from parties calling themselves directors , as the to speed we must go . One will tell us he has to be at such a place in such a time , and that wo must get him there at that time ; he is , he says , a director . We strive to obey him , as far as is in our power to do so with safety . Perhaps at the next station another will inform us that K we go at the rate we have come from the last station he will report us , he being a director , so that we cannot tell when we are doing right . We pray tbifl to be disallowed . "

There were present 3 d ! shirt-makers , 341 trowscrs-makers , 178 coat or blouse-makers , 34 waistcoat-makers , 19 makers of sou -westers ; 33 mahcrs of waterproof coats , 23 staymakers , 24 umbrella and parasol-makers , S 3 makers of soldiers pillows and beds , and CO shoe-binders . Total , 4 , 145 . of this number it appeared , in reply to questions put to them , that only three or four bad under-clothing ; nearl y the entire assembly confessed the want of a complete dress ; and 508 had borrowed some article of clothing in order to appear at the meeting . It was ascertained that only 58 were in possession of blankets ; lol had no

      beds to he upon : 45 had been compelled to pawn their beusto save themselves from starvation ; and 180 had been reduced to the necessity of selling their beds altogether . Not one present had earned 8 s ., nor even 7 s „ last week ; five had earned 0 s ., twenty-eight had earned 5 s ., twelve had earned 4 s . Cd ., one hundred and fortv-two had earned 3 s ., one hundred and fifty had earned 2 s .

      In answer to a question put to them as to " whether in their opinion masters pulled one another down , or whether the women went to the masters and pulled down tho prices ? ' ! The « reat majority ofthe women present laid the blame on the masters ; but a few said that there were women who went to the masters and proposed to work at a . halfpenny less than the then existing prices . Companion between tho emplovcrs!— -competition between the employed . '—behold the fruits thereof And therein , behold the irrevocable condemnation of the existing system—the justification of Socialism—and the vindication of Louis Blaxc and ltoiiERT Owkx . There was a good deal of cant mixed un with tlie

      proceedings of the meeting , as is always the case with assemblies patronised by Lord Ashley and his friends . Iobserve that " his Lordship " declared that the only . remedy for the needlewomen was emigration . And Mr . Sidney Herbeut has published a letter in all * hc daily papers , proposing the institution of a fund to enable the female slopworkers to emigrate on a large scale . A most miserable remedy for a gigantic evil—indeed no remed » at all . " In tne selection of emigrants , " says Mr . Hkrhkrt , " ono condition must never bo lost sight of . _ None but women of good character must f > e assisted to go . There must be no taint or discredit upon them to mar their , prospects when they arrive at their new home . " What then is to become of . the . masses of women who are reported to eke

      out a miserable living hy prostitution ? Again Lord Ashley dwells with delight on the desirable prospects of young female emigrants . But -at the meeting oh . Monday the widows and married women numbered about seven hundred , who , it may be presumed , would also be excluded from the emigration scheme . It may be urged , that the removal of those who do emigrate will check competition amongst the workers , and benefit those who remain in this country . Perhaps so , hut any benefit that might result from a temporary thinning of the workers , would be but slight , unless a check was put to competition amongst the employers , as well as among the employed . Bedsides , the tendency of the existing system is , te increase the tide of surplus labour faster than emigration could be made to act as a drain .

      A more radical remedy is needed . Mr . Sydsey HEnBKOT avers , that the country is labouring under a plethora of unemployed , and ill-employed capital , and every one is aware , that largo tracts of land in this country are yet untilled , and the rest of the soil not half cultivated . Tens of thousands of men are unemployed , or , at least , earn but a wretched subsistence . The union , of these three elements , land ,- capital , and labour , for tho benefit of tho workers , would speedily change the face of society . But it may he said , that needlewomen could not be set . to till the land , No , but their fathers , husbands , and lovers , so employed , would soon draw them from the spider nets of the Jew slop-sellers to assist their male connexions in more natural ,

      move healthful , and toil-rewarding labours . Then might the tailoring trade be restored to its original channel , —men working at it instead of women ; for I protest that women abandoning their household duties ; is an unnatural and accursed system , which- must be put an end to , ere comfort and happiness can . be the reward of the sons and daughters of labour . I have no objection to an extensive system of emigration , providing the right persons emigrate . Will Mr . Sydney Herbert . aid in the good work of promoting the emigration of those " who toil not , neither do they spin ? " I fear that there will be no veritable reform of the social system until the idle drones , and plundering locusts of society , are made to "leave their country for their country ' s good .

      The Chartists In Kewgate, At A Meeting O...

      THE CHARTISTS IN KEWGATE , At a meeting of the court of Alderman on Tuesday , Mr . Alderman L-. iwiM . vci 2 presented petitions from Bezor and Shaw , the Chartists , who had been sentenced at a period of great public excitement to imprisonment in Newgate for Chartism . It appeared that the two Chartists had , upon their introduction to Newgate , misconducted themselves . A-ereat change had however , been wrought in the conduct of tho refractory Chartists . For some time they had both acted with remarkable propriety , and the language of their petitions now presented to the Court exhibited the improvement unequivocally . The two prisoners prayed for an increase of light and fire , and the use of paper and pen and ink ,

      not for t he purpose ol lncaloulating and disseminating dangerous doctrines , but for that of a more frequent and agreeable communication with their families . The petitioners also prayed for some alteration in diet , and there was good reason for believing that their conduct had undergone a very advantageous change , it was to be hoped that the Court , would listen favourable to the applicatios . ( Hear hear . ) . Mr . Alderman Copkland said if the Court were of opinion that faith could be placed in the sincerity ofthe change stated to have taken place , he would not oppose the relaxation of the

      restrictions to which they had been subjected . Mr . Alderman Wilson said that ho had brought the subject of the refractory conduct of the petitioners befor the Court several months ago . The Chartists had certainly been allowed very remarkable privileges ' , which they had abused , not only by writing to and receiving from Chartists outside letters iiabned with their dangerous politics , but by other conduct at -variance with the spirit of prison subordination and control . Ho wished the petitions to be referred to tho Gaol Committee to inquire and report .

      Mr . Alderman Chauis said it was quite evident that tho Chartists had acted upon a complete misconception ofthe privileges of their condition , and in the belief that the offence of which they had been convicted was excepted from the class of punishments the severity of which they had experienced . The most remarkable lenity had been extended to them in the first instance . That lenity they had abused , but the abuse had wholly ceased , and it would be advisable in the Court to notice the change by a return to the indulgences of which the

      petitioners had been deprived . Sir P . Laurie thought it would be prudent to refer the petitions to tho sheriffs and visiting magistrates of the prison , with orders to inquire into and regulate the induigencies of the petitioners . It was notorious that the abuses they had committed on the occasion referred to extended to attempts to excite political sympathies of the most dangerous kind , and the magistracy of London had resorted to the most judicious expedients to remedy an evil of such magnitude . Mr . Alderman IlwiranEy deprecated any course l ikely to occasion delay . If the petitioners , had

      The Chartists In Kewgate, At A Meeting O...

      shown symptoms of contrition such as had been described , it would be only fair to give them the benefit of the change . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Alderman Garden said it appeared to him to be a difficult matter for the visiting magistrates to act if they happened to differ in opinion as to the treatment of the prisoners . ( Hear , hear . ) It was all very well to talk of discipline and tho exercise of its ri gours in some cases , and its mild application in others ; hut what was really the character ofthe men of whom they had been speaking ? Were they not the very persons who were ready to join in the tumultuous scenes so well calculated to lead to the destruction of property and life ? lie believed they had connexion with tho Chartist journals by which so much mischief had been propagated , and that they co-operated to generalise tho venom of the doctrines to which they -were known to be favourable . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Alderman Sidney said the magistracy had no right to treat with extraordinary rigour men convicted of the offences with which the petitioners had been charged . The petitioners had been sentenced to imprisonment for two years without labour . Some ofthe members of the Court seemed to think that they had met with extreme indulgence . At ail events , whatever mode of treatment they might have formerly experienced , they were at the present moment confined in tho condemned cells of Newgate . ( Cries of "No , no . " ) Sir P . Liuaiu said it was true there were fifteen cells , but they were not what were called condemned cells . Newgate had no ceils of that description at present .

      ' Mr . Alderman Sidxby said tho fifteen old cells and the five new cells in Newgate were dismal and solitary in every sense of the word , and he did not see why they should not bo called " condemned , " for they were as had as tho cells so called at more early periods of prison experiment . He could see no reason for refusing to grant the indulgences sought for , and he was sure the magistracy were bound to carry out the law without aggravating the punishment beyond the intention of the Judg * , or the views of those who made it . Ho could not help saving that prejudices had been strongly exercised against the petitioners , and that in their case the laws of humanity had been violated .

      Mr . Alderman Ciuuissaid the statement of Mr . Alderman Sidney contained gross misrepresentations . The treatment of prisoners in Newgate was marked with kindness , and in no instance had there occurred the least infringement - of tlie laws of humanity , however chargaWe tlie authorities might be with the exercise of remarkable lenity . Mr . Alderman Lawrenck and other aldermen denied the statement of Alderman Sidney as to the existence of condemned cells . Mr . CorB ( the governor of Newgate , ) in answer to questions from the Court , stated that the conduct of the petitioner Bczor had much improved within the last three or four months . Alderman Thompso . v said tho governor ' s representation satisfied him that the discipline might undergo relaxation in the ease ofthe petitioners . The petitions were referred to the Gaol Committee .

      The Queen And Thb Chartist Prisoners. (F...

      THE QUEEN AND THB CHARTIST PRISONERS . ( From tho Daily News , of Nov . 21 , 1849 . ) Sir , —The Chartists have , at their recent public meetings , acknowledged , in grateful spirit , the exertions made by Members of Parliament—Richard Cobden , Sir Joshua Walmesley , and others , whom hitherto they have regarded as their enemies—to extricate from imprisonment , or ameloriate the condition , of their incarcerated comrades . Why should not this good feeling , so creditably created , be extended to the Crown , and the chasm of hate between the rulers and the people be bridged over , if not closed ? The Queen , as the head oi the Church , has recently proclaimed a " Thanksgiving , " for the reason that it had pleased God to arrest that calamity which our trespasses are considered to have brought upon us . But , as the ground on which we

      are taught ( by Christ , as repeated by the Church ) , to expect forgiveness of our trespasses is that we have forgiven those who trespass against us , can the nation be said to have merited mercy by forgiveness while it detains in our gaols persons for political offences , into which they wore stimulated by privation—by a sense of oppression—and despair ? Two of these unfortunate men having perished in gaol of cholera , owing to circumstances connected with their imprisonment , leaving destitute families , constitute another reason why leniency is due in this case . Would it not , therefore , bo an act just , as well as generous and politic , were the advisers of the Crown to recommend to her Majesty ' s consideration to grant a complete amnesty for the political offenders , forgiving them their trespasses , even as we pray that our own are forgiven as ?

      National Association Op United Tltades. ...

      NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OP UNITED TltADES . Established 1845 . Tills that they call organisation of labour is , if well understood , the problem ofthe whole future , for all , who will in future pretend to govern men Thojias Carlisle The sentiment above quoted , extracted from the writings of one of the most original and boldest thinkers of modern times , cannot be brought too frequently or too prominently before tho working classes , because , although in itself it is but the expression of a " great fact , " it implies that the well-being ot" the working classes is dependent upon the character and description of the organisation they are subjected to ; and it may also be inferred , thai the absence of any beneficial or perJect organisation is the chief cause why these same classes are , at this day , politically , socially , ami morally

      degraded . The first step , therefore , to their permanent emancipation , must be a thorough and effective organisation ; by , and through which , they may be able to protect themselves from the spoliations practised upon them by all other classes of society . Itis the necessity for this thorough " organisation of labour , " which the committee of the National Association have so long and so consistently laboured to impress upon their fellow-workmen . Numerous and various have been the obstructions they have had to contend against . The ignorance , prejudices , and apathy of the working classes themselves , are sufficiently formidable , but time and perseverance has conquered greater apparent difficulties , and these may certainly be overcome . The power of capital—when a movement was found progressing unmistakably directed , to throw up defences against its usurpation of a power not

      legitimately appertaining to it—to place bounds to its inordinate ambition—to chalk out a distinct line of demarcation—and to say , " thus far shalt thou go , and no farther ; " from . capital thus threatened , the most deadly opposition was to he anticipated , But strong in the justice of the cause—satisfied ofthe superior power ol labour when fairly pitted against capital , the founder of the National Association , and those to whom its direction lias since been entrusted , have never for an instant shrunk , and seldom failed , successfully to meet and overcome this description of opposition , even with the limited , and necessarily imperfect , nowci'S with which they were armed ; and it may fairly bo assumed that , if unable to cope with but the shadow of the moral and financial power which an extended and concentrated combination of labour would impart , there is but little to fear from the efforts ot capital in a more advanced stage of our

      progress , 35 ut there is another description of obstructives , far more impracticable to deal with , and more difficult to conciliate , than these we have named . We mean men of comparatively superior education , great natural talents , considerable powers of eloquence—that valuable , yet often dangerous acquirement—who , like " Tritons amongst the minnows , " direct , centre ? , and govern tho bodies they are connected with ; they think , speak , and decide for those whom their talents enables them to control . It may be r « 'asonably supposed , that individuals such as wo have described , if tbe principles ofthe National Association are so sound , and their adoption by the trades so desirable , that men of such superior abilities and education — possessed of

      an almost unlimited influence over largo bodies of their fellow men—would readily embrace and advocate a system calculated to confer such solid advantages upon those whose interests they are supposed to consult . Such a supposition is but reasonable ; but it is , nevertheless , unfortunately the fact , that in too many instances an amount of opposition has been experienced in these quarters difficult to account for by any ordinary process of reasoning . The principles arc always good—excellent!—such a movement above all things desirable—and the thing , above all others , that the individual himself with whom you may be reasoning , would wish to see accomplished . "A > ' I and it is to this we must come at last ; there is no doubt of it . " Such , they generally assure you , is their own private opinion . " But there are so many

      difficulties in the way , ' '" the members arc so ignorant , " or " their trade is so very peculiar , " or " they arc just engaged in , " or "just recovering from , " or "just about entering into a great strike . Or , perhaps ( and this is a very common way ot giving the inconvenient subject thego by)—well , " I will think the subject over—wish you all possible success in your laudable endeavours , and , if you go on , and succeed , depend upon my best efforts to induce our body to join you . Wo are very numerous throughout the United Kingdom , and when we join , I should like the whole to join en masse , you know . " Yes , if we succeed , no doubt , that many waiters upon providence would gladly avail themselves of the opportunity to step in and secure some share of the benefits which other men ' s exertions bad . secured j but how , in the name of reason and . co »>

      National Association Op United Tltades. ...

      sense , is it to be expected , that any movement can succeed , when tho very men , who from their capabilities and position , appear its natural leaders , instead of nobly , generously , and honestly throwing themselves into it , heart and soul , from some powerful incentive of selfish ambition , or with an eye to a sort of vested interest , in their present position , which they fear to endanger , are either eventual / y our open opponents , or content themselves by proving their friendliness to our cause , hy " amusing us with faint praise , " the most thoroughly dishonest species of opposition which can be produced . Those remarks arc offered , as a key to unravel the apparent mystery , why so many of the trades , especially of the higher grade , have so long stood aloof from us . But , '' coming events

      cast their shadows before , " and that consciousness of security which make men in the aggragate , as well as individually , so selfish , and regardless of the sufferings of others , can no longer be enjoyed by , wo believe , any trade in Gr « at Britain . Competition , ill regulated machinery , and free tradethat leash of curses to British industry , are doing their work , and tho wolf is at tho doors of those who have for a long time ridiculed the alarm of his approach . A practical refutation is about being given to tho free-trade assertion—that cheap tood would ensure high wages . Reductions of wages svre pronounced inevitable in many of the hitherto comparatively well paid departments of industry . The absurd extravagancies and iniquitous robberies of Railway Directories

      have rendered it imperative that these same parties commit another , and , if possible , more foul robbery , than any of those with which wc are familiar . The wages of the most valuable portion of the railway staff are doomed to supply the deficiencies in the dividend , caused by the previous plunder of the capital of the shareholders . Many of tho building trades have had notice of intended reductions in their wages ; and , with the present redundancy of labour in the market , what hopes can be entertained of a successful resistance ? Tho Central Committee of this Association have always contended that the only effective protection which can be given to the wages of labour , consists in tho absorption of the surplus labour , through channels where it can be rendered self-supporting ; that such channels are to

      be found at home , at our own doors as it were , as well as over the Atlantic ; that its employment at home is infinitely preferable , and more patrioticthat this can , and ought to be accomplished , by and through the working classes alone , and not by the government . In the one case we should create an independent class of Labour Yeoman—in tbe other , companies of government slaves . That the working class possess within themselves the means is unquestionable . Themselves organised—the means , which will give the power , ( although it has been said they possess neither ) , will be found in abundance , alike blessing and conferring incalculable benefits upon those who give and those who receive . Remove the surplus labour bv the only practical lever by which that , or any great worfe

      can ue achieved—an organisation of labour , and the means and the power which that organisation , and that alone would most surely give . The Centml Committee will , in a future report , place some fa < Hs before the working classes , by which it will he shown that through a confederation of labour—such as they advocate—tho surplus labour , whieh now presses with such crushing severity upon almost every description of British industry , may not only be readily withdrawn from the labour market , at the rate of fifty thousand a year , but well and amply employed , and mildo the source of increased employment to the country . If this thing can be done , and is not done , then do the working cla 5 scs deserve all they now suffer , and all the good things which are now in store for them .

      Ihe Central Committee have , during the week , received tho most cheering reports of the progress of Messrs . Green and Robson . Adhesions have also been received from the ( Female ) Binders and Closers « f Davcntry ; also from the Third Section of Davcntry Shoemakers ; from the Pendermakcrs of Birmingham ; and information of intended adhesions from several other trades in Birmingham and Wolverhampton . They have also the satisfaction of reporting Mr . Green having successfully combattcd with a master lin-plate worker of Wolverhampton , who , it was alleged , had discharged a man for having inquired ot his shopmates in tho shop where be worked , the prices paid for certain descriptions of work , which information he put down in a book , for the use of a committee of the trade , who were engaged in preparing a town list of prices . The emplover denied

      having discharged this individual for tho cause assigned , but contended for the right to discharge any man he pleased , without giving a reason for so doing . Mr . Green , of course , did not question the right , but ventured to show its impolicy , and , perhaps , isjusTicR . The affair terminated by a promise to take the man back the first opportunity . In this case , although it cannot bo said that any great advantage was gained , it became perfectly evident that the power and influence of the National Association was better understood and appreciated than before Mr . Green ' s visit , as was proved hy the altered behaviour of the employer to his men since . Ihe moral power of this affair has produced also a wondrous effect upon tho trades of Wolverhampton , with many of whom Mr . Green is engaged to explain our views and objects . Doc . 5 .

      Affairs Of Hungary. The Subjoined Memori...

      AFFAIRS OF HUNGARY . The subjoined memorial has been drawn up and presented to Lord John Itussell , Pirst Lord of the Treasury , and to Viscount Palmexston , principal Secretary ' of State for Foreign Affairs , with a view to the friendly intervention of her Majesty's Government , witli regard to tho future position of Hungary towards Austria : — "We , the undersigned , desire to express to your lordships , and through your lordships to the ' rest of her Majesty ' s confidential servants , the deep interest which we have taken in the contest which has been recently carried oh between the Hungarian , nation and the Emperor of Austria . Not less deep is the interest which we now take in the final

      settlement of the question at issue between them , and ia the permanent pacification of that great country . Sincerely attached to the liberties of our own country—the final establishment of which is due to the successful termination of struggles analogous to those which have been made from time to time in Hungary—with equal sincerity desirous ofmaintaining the peace of Europe , we are fully sensible ofthe great importance that the settlement of the questions at issue should be effected in a manner and upon terms satisfactory to the Hungarian nation , not only for the sake of Hungary herself , but because we apprehend that a settlement unsatisfactory will sow the seed of renewed discontent , mav lead to fresh local disturbances , and by the locai disturbance of so large an element of the European system , may endanger the tnmquillitv of the whole .

      Tho objects of the undersigned are , internal liberty— -national independence—European peace . For the attainment of these objects wo trust the Court of Vienna will bear in mind that tho satisfaction and contentment of Hungary will afford the greatest security . Considering , however , the means by which the authority of tho House of Hapsburg has been re-established , the undersigned are of opinion , that the occasion permits , even if it docs not call for , the intervention of Great Britain , in counselling the Austrian government respecting tlie exercise of its restored executive power . With respect to the mode and opportunity of interfering the undersigned offer no specific opinion , but wb hope that her Majesty ' s government will not shrink from suggesting to that of Austria , that , sincerepublican France has abolished capital punishment for political offences , it will not be wise to allows contrast to be drawn unfavourable to the elemencj of monarchial governments .
