      has volunteered to present Mr J . B . with some fashionable knitted lace collars for the benefit of the library . The prices to be Is or 2 s according to the fineness of the article . Any of our fair mends , there , fore , wishing to aid the good work , may obtain specimens of our kind friend ' s labour by forwardingftirteea or twenty-five postage stamps , to Mr Juuau Harney , 18 , Great -Windmill-street , Haymaket London . Juuav Hakket has received through the medium of « A Tiverton laSy / the sum of five shillings from Mr Alexander for the Tiverton Library ; also two « magic mats'from Mrs Bayne * . of Gravesend , to be sold for the Benefit of the said Library .

      cannot but feel pleased at ths results which have followed the noble , manly , talented and patriotic address of Mr Julian Harney , at Tiverton , at the lateelection . The masterly manner in which Mr Harney laid bare file past diplomaey of the Whig secretary for Foreign . Affairs , is a proof how closelyTdr Harney , in his political observations , has tracked the steps of his opponent in all bis foreign acts of intrigua . deception , and cruelty . Thanks to Mr Harney for pouring such a flood of truth and light upon the public mind . Tho constituency of Tiverton would have done honour to themselves by retaming such a man as their representative to Parliament , and would at the same time have conferred a benefit on society at large . But let Mr Harney be assured that among the minds that think , investigate and enquire , he has earned a name and fame far more honoured and honourable than that which can or will

      be awarded to . his opponent . It is an . evident sign of moral and mental progression , to witness the readiness with which the men of Tiverton responded to the advice of their late candidate , Mr Julian Harney , in establishing forthwith a Working Han ' s Library . It is a matter ofgreatpleasnre to see the priucipleof progression quickening into life theintellectualnatureofman I have a volume or two that I feel disposed to add to the library at Tiverton , if our friends there will accept than . Mr Harney will oblige by saying what will be thebest and cheapest mode of conveyance . Wishing prosperity to the institution , and union amongst the men of Tiverton . I remain , yours . most respectfully ,

Let yoar orders reach mt not later than Thursday morning . 3 . W . Smith , Manchester . —Tour temperate remarks on the article in last week ' s Stab , relative to the effect of Free Trade en tbe state of the country , have net altered the views we hold on that question ; nor do we think that it it the dnty of a journalist , for the mere sake of standing well with a party , to refrain from commenting upon events which illustrate important principles . It may have been premature to expect that , concurrently with a good harvest , good

      trade should make its appearance , but at all event * , no one eonld have expected , reasoning upon the data famished bytheLsagne orators , that tt would have bean concurrent with a proposal for tho absolute « . uspension of labour for a month , to allow the market * to recover . We do not deny tho truth there may be in Free Trade doctrines , but contend that these alone are not sufficient to produce that improvement in the general condition of the people , which all parties profess themselves desirous of seeing realised . We are quite willing to refer the decuion to the great arbiter , Time , with tbe persuasion that it will confirm tfaeoorreetnessof the remarks which have elicited the remarks of onr correspondent . 3 .

      LEGAL . KOTICE . —Anxious that clients should not be disappointed , and the number of cases rendering it impossible for me to attend to all , I bare arranged with a professional friend , equally , competent with myself , to render me his assistance . I , therefore , request that , in future , all letters containing law cases may be addressed to me at So . 48 , Queen ' s Koad , Bayswater , London ; bat letters nhich relate to any other than legal busuteu , to be addressed t » . me , as heretofore , at the Star office , since So 48 , Queen ' s-read , is sot my place fresidence . I also beg to dedineaB personal hitereiews , not having timefor the same , neither can they be of any advantage to clients .

      Theimmense number of unanswered law cases now before me , renders it absolutely necessary to prevent , if possible ^ the sending of any more ftr the present In order the better to prevent it , I bee to stete that till the cases now before me are finished ( of which due notice will be given ) , all law cases will be returned , -unless accompanied by a fee ofat least 5 s . Bkiest Jones . * The HErjuAT-LAW . ' -Havingaddressed your . letter to 48 , Queens-road , Bayswater , yoa had evidently read the notice in last week ' s Star , in which I stated , that till I had got through the vast number of unanswered law cases then before me ( of which due notice would be

      given ) , no cases wonld be attended to unless accompanied by a fee . Sotwithstanding this notice , yon said me a case without a fee . If yon send me a l ' ost-office © rderfor 10 s ., your case shall be forthwith answered . Even had no such notice as that alluded to appeared in last week's Star , yours is a case with which a fee ought to be given ; fo * I have all along declared that it was my intention to give gratuitous advice to poor men only , and not to men of property , and that yon aro a man of property is apparent enough from your case . I have expressed my readiness to be satisfied with very moderate fees , even from men of property ; and it would be unreasonable in such persons to expect that I should

      render thein gratuitous serv ces . . B- S .

Bebbt , Greenacrete HilL—Withoat knowing all the circumstances « f the case , itis impossible for me tosav whether you can recover property which yon say'has been'in wronghands for morethan forty years . ' That circumstance , however , renders it highly improbable that you should be able to recover it If yoa claim it

      as heir (« r as customary heir , ifitis a customary or copyhold property ) , you should send me a pedigree , showiagvour heirship to the person from whom you claim .

      Two Ekglbh Gentlemen fousd seas is Invrrness-bhire . —At the Mansion House , on Tuesday , the Lord Mayor received the following communica tion from the sheriff-substitute of Inverness-shire , dated Fort William , Inverness-shire , enclosing an account of the finding of the bodies ef two English gentlemen on the 2 nd instant . The names of the deceased gentlemen are Mr Stericker , of 49 , Fenchurch-ftreet , and Mr Henry Whitburn , brewer , Esher , Surrey . Theietter went onto say—« I refer to the enclosed paper , containing the evidence of one of the first persona who found the bodies , and which contains all the information Ihaveas yet collected . The report of the medical men is also enclosed , agreeing that death occurred from natural causes .

      I have not as yet ordered a dissection , and will abstain from doing to , nnless circumstances of a suspicious nature may emerge , but which 1 do sot expect . Th * necessary attention to the bodies will be bestowed , and I shall suspend all directions as to in * terment until the pleasure of the relations becomes known . I proceed this evening , with the procuratorfiscal , to the cpot where the bodies were found , to prosecute further inquiries . ' The evidence alluded to is that of W . S . Milner , ensjen in the 69 th regiment of Foot , who had been residing with his brother atKinlochbfg . fifteen miles from Fort William , and it gives the following account : -About eight o ' clock this morning ( 2 nd September ) , one of the servants told me that a drover had seen a dead man by the

      road-side about two roues from Kinlochbeg . I went to the spot and found two men lying close to one another , about threeyards from the road on the low side , quite dead . _ There was not the slightest sign of straggling or of violence , and their appearance gave me tbe impression that having sat down to rest they became benumbed with the cold and expired .. Both were dressed as travellers , each with a small knapsack on his back . There was a small whiskey pocket flask lying near them empty . Last night was very stormy , wind and rain in ereafc abundance , probably the most stormy night we have had this year . ' The statement then gives apartlcnlaraccountof the property found upon the two deceased persons . The medical certificate expressed the opinion that death i was caused by exhaustion and cold from the deceased

      haying fallen asleep on the mountain oa that boisterous night . The Lord Mayor upon receipt of the communication on Monday sent bis chaplain to the friends of Mr Stericker , and one of the marshals to Esher , to disclose the intelligence . It appears tha * the two gentlemen were strangers to each other , and had journeyed together accidentally . Each had left on an excursion through Scotland , and they had been seen on the preceding night atno great distancefrom the spot on which their corpses were found . Mr Stericker had written home on the 31 st August . Opssao op thk New Ham , at Brass's Cottage . —

      A large and highly respectable party lately assembled at Burns ' s Cottage , Alloway , for tha purpose of formally opentngthe large and elegant hall lately erected at the rear of the cottage , the foundation stone of which was laid with masonic honours on the 25 th of January last , the poet ' s birth-day . This addition to the accommodation at tbe cottage has been rendered necessary in consequence of tbe great number of visitors who ' now , since railways have given facilities for travelling , annually visit the « Banks and braes o ' bonny Ooon . ' In the west end is a small niche , containing a well-executed bustof Bums , from the chisel of a native artist .

' ' Well , yoa needn't besarsyabont your old kettle . Guess it was full of holes when we borrowed it ; and mother wouldn ' t a troubled you again , only we see'dyou bringing home a new one !'— Gait Reporter .

      of passengers who travelled on sixty-three railways in the United Kingdom duringthat period , and amount of receipts derived from each class .

      | "Pwen/Orttsjfikiw' We Feel Proud In Be...

      | " PWen / orttsJfiKiW ' We feel proud in being able to say , that this Association is gradually and steadily progressing . The opposition of capitalists , and the counter power of ill-designing men , put into operation to obstruct our movement , tend to increase the interests of the working classes , and to awaken within them a growing desire to ameliorate their condition by a national organisation and couseatration of their hitherto divided power . Instead , therefore , of opposition impeding our progress , and crushing the hopes of our confiding friends , it is binding them together more firmly , and infusing a spirit of active co-operation unequalled in the history of this country ; and , at the same time , it is creating us friends and advocates where we least expected them . An extract from the' Mac clesfield , Stockport , and Congleton Chronicle , ' of August 28 th , will show some little of our progress , inasmuch as tbe editor . ' . in his leadingarticle , defends our association against the attacks of one of his contemporaries : — ' There is a sad lack of heart about iome people , ' says he . 'Why should our contemporary call the straightforward protest of live hundred Englishmen a rigmarole ? ' As if purposely to show him on what ground he stands , he has this week to report the complete and final annexation of the weavers of Macclesfield to the great British League of Operatives . We , who have the knowledge of and a faith in the progeessive principle , do most unquestionably believe that it will always be felt by civilized man , that the one performance of a 'French Revolution on the theatre of earth is quite enough . But we are not so sure that equal severity in less savage forms , will not occur before the injured feel compensated , and the wrong doers convinced , among ourselves . let , if any such faith exists within us , itis because we see man every day learning to love his brother , not scorn him ; because we see the great listening patiently to the lowly , and not calling his simple earnest j > roto « , arigmaro ' e . ' And in referring to a public meeting held in Macslesfield , and addressed by Messrs Parker & Humphries , he says— ' To recur to Monday ' s meeting : —Is tore , or is there not , an immense organisation going " orward t Will the calling of its utterances , be ; hey ever so humbly uttered , a rigmarole , reduce its lower or appease its spirit ? Must there not be some-; hingdone ? What can you do ? This—this onlyremove the ground from under its feet , and it sinks or ever . ' 1

      | \ | "We have heard it said—But if the men combine hroughout the empire , cannot the masters also ? M course they can . But wh & t will that combination amount to , if ever the nation should loose its self-government ? One against a hundred . ' Thus , is the press beginning to defend our principles and idvocate ' our claims , and the justness of our cause , vhen attacked by the enemy of the industrious ilasses ; and the great British Leaguo of Operatives , ist he editor designates the National Association , ia apidly extending its principles , augmenting its numjera . and swelling its immense moral power . And we ' eel convinced , that . when the power of the people is once fairly organised in one great national consolidated union , the rights of labour will be conceded , and the toilin g millions enjoy the fruits of their inlustry ; and , it is only by such a union that the working man will be able to command a fair and equitable remuneration for bis labour . For satisfied are we that the master class , who accumulate their fortunes out of the hard-earned pence of the working classes rod rise in opulence and wealth , wrenched to a conliderable extent from the repeated reductions on the srice of the honest work man , —we feel satisfied that ihis class of men will withhold the rights of industry , md retain a despotic power over the toiling multitude as long as they can . If the oppressed must be set free , they must free themselves . They , the working classes , must lake tho sword of liberty , and proslaim labour ' s emancipation , or oppression will sink ihem still lower and lower in the pit of wretchedness md destitution . This the working classes can do . They can effect their own redemption when they [ ike , without the aid of physical force ; and raise to a proper standard the price of labour without violence ) r tumult , simply by organising themselves in one » reat union , comprehending every class of operatives , for their ' mdtual protection , and for tho preservation of wages . A national association we conceive to be the only safe and effectual method of resisting the aggressions of capital , and of securing to the labourer a just portion of the wealth he produces , rhe present Association has done more to accomplish this , than any of its predecessors ; and what itiasdone , will sink into utter insignificance , compared with what it will do , when its entire machinery mall be brought fully into operation .

      We know that some people are disposed to grumble because the National Association has not done more for working men than what it has done , Thoy seem to expect the Association to perform all that the rules point out , without for a moment stopping to consider that it is only an infant yet ; and that to require it to fight with the strength and . skill of a full-grown man , isnot only impossible , but absolutely unreasonable . Give it time , and it will unfold a power , as never yet was wieled for Labour ' s redemption . A power that will be irresistible in its operation , and astonish surrounding nations with the extent and magnitude of its peaceful and bloodless victories , and triumphs over the cupidity and selfishness of the oppressors and evil doers . But we say , do not expect impossibilities of a child—rather nurse it , and with tho greatest care and attention , aid it in acquiring strength , and to develope its growing power ; and eventually the happy issue of our ' Great British League of Operatives' will make happy homes for the distressed and destitute , and procure for labour a lair and good living . We say , then , give the Association time to grow—do not exact too , much from so amiable and so premising an infant , and depend upon it , wo shall reap , if we faint not . HOLYTOWN MINERS-MORE EJECTMBNTSSJ In a former article we headed the case of the Miners , 'Oppression Rampant , ' which has proved from experience the heading was not delusive . The men remain firm to their great cause—the c use of' Right against might '—and , we trust to Jr eaven , they will maintain the same firmness , the same determination , and the mm perseverance , that have been manifested ammg . them during the struggle . Is there any cause for the reduction of a shilling per day , while the value of iron is on the

      increase ? During tho last month , it has increased from seven to ten shillings per ton . Is not this sufficient to satisfy the most credulous , that it is not a wanteftraie , butthoproRressingavarice of these millionaires , to ring the last drop of sweat and blood , to wrench from the poor miner every remnant of social happiness , 'to deprive him of every vestige of liberty , save and except that of the beasts ! We stated , ma former paper , that 800 families JLJu j * oufc ° t tneir miserable hovels to seek l 3 ¦ SS ^ 5 Vt , uk ' ofinformingthe people of Great Britain and Ireland , yes , of the world , that ^ ™ L \ lST !!' ar ' ^ « * «» tyrannical schemes theiril natured minds can invent , to torture these poorweatures , in order to forcei them to irk for la . perday less than usual . ¦

      We have read of the cruelties of Nero , and of Caligula , towards the ir slaves , but , as the 0 d saying if :. w ^ ° t ' H r 0 d 8 J H f ' J « fOTty "" lilies have been ejected from their homes , to find a resting place en the cold heath ; but , fortheinformatron ^ f those who take an interest in supporting the rights and privileges of mankind , we give an extract from a letter of the secretary to the miners , dated September 6 , 1847 : — 'I write you with pleasure at the present time , trom the fact that you have been enabled to give us another remittance , which will do us a great deal of good . Our position is much the same as when I wrote last . ¦ We are still firm , and while I am writing , intormation has reached me ; thhtour place . of meeting , at Faskimv on the banks of the Monkland canal , is now taken from us ; Every low trick is resorted to W m and PUt d 0 ffB' 0 Ur Uni 0 n » but a 11 Wil 1 not do . We are keeping to our prinolole . with a

      uewrniination which our rich capitalists little dream ! ii ii , ;?

All has been . done in peace . We puttwelvemen , to whom we could trust , to protect the officers , while ejecting the families , who were very useful in maintaining the peace . These families , with the others , are all living in the open air , with the cohiground for their bed , and heaven their only canopy , and without fuel in the midst of plenty . With all this misery before us , we are still firm , and determined , if we are assisted , we will conquer , or die . '

      What man , woman , or yes , a child , can read the above , and sleep , until he has remitted something for this persecuted and brave people ? Some of you may say , 'Charity begins at home , ' but are these men your brothers—are the wives and families to starve , in consequence of that accursed and selfish spirit , too much manifested ? Away with these narrow ideas . You have a bed , think of the poor Scots in the field . You have a meal a day , think of these poor families in their tents . Send them a little ' manna '—give them alittlo help . It is the duty of a man ; it is the duty of christians ; . yes , the heathen will assist the heathen in distress . Alfred the Great divided his last loaf with the poor-follow his example . If you claim relationship to Britons , assist Britons in

      poverty . Ofhcers of trades , philanthropists out of trades , and the public in general , we hope you will still go on in this glorious work . Sheffield , Leicester , Wolverhampton , and other places , have determined to hsld meetings , and collect from all who will give . Let other towns follow their noble example . Mr Buekby of Leicester , and a few friends , will hold a camp meeting on Burbage-common , on Sunday the 19 th , in behalf of these persecuted men . Let the same kind of meetings be held all over the kingdom , which will teach the proud oppressors that man feels for his brother man . We appeal to the azed and the youner . male and

      female , to use every exertion . ' Is it not lawful to do good on the Sabbath day V If a man has a sheep in the ditch , would he not pull it out ? Then how much more important to pull near 1 . 000 of our brothers from the cold earth . Men , hold yeur meetings continuous—subscribe all you can , and fling to the winds the groveling p lea of ' Charity begins at home ; ' and show your task-masters that a people determined to have a * fair day ' s wage far a fair day ' s work , 'will use every exertion , and deprive themselves of a few comforts , to achieve such a noble victory . Again , we say , hold your meetings , colled yonr towns , and free the poor Scots from ruin , misery , and death .

      The central committee have met during the week for the dispatch of business . Cerrespondence has been received from more than 70 towns . Adhesions . —Denny calico printers , and Manchester general union of hand-loom weavers . Mr Daniels , Isle of Man , reported that a branch of the Association had been formed at Douglas . Mr Gee , of Stockport , reported that the 'lifference existing between Mr Barlow and his men , had been amicably arranged . Mr Andrew , of Day brook , reported that a reduction of wages was offered to one of their members . It

Mr Towne , of Keighley , hasbeenappointed to wait upon the working classes of Mill-bridge , Yorkshire . Loughborough . —Mr Buekby , of Leicester , attended here on Monday last , and delivered an address on the objects and principles of the National Association for the Protection of Industry . A great many attended , who were highly delighted to hear the principles enunciated in that town .

      Silsbv . —Mr Buekby attended this place on Tuesday , and delivered a very instructive lecture on the principles of the National Association , showing the benefits arising from a general league of labour ' s sons , to free themselves . Vetes of thanks were passed in the usual form , and the meeting dissolved , highly delighted with the proceedings . Mr Robson attended a very large meeting of miners at Holy town , numbering 1 , 560 , and delivered a long and eloquent address , which was cheered throughout . A resolution was passed withdrawing the document , a copy ef which appeared in another part of our paper . lie also attended upwards of 2 , 000 people in a church at Paisley , where a very good feeling prevailed . A more lengthy report of Mr Robson ' s labours will be given next week . Mr Williamson has been holding meetings in Manchester and Blackburn during the week , and will be at Sheffield on Monday next .

      Mr Green attended the hearth-rng makers of London , who adopted a resolution to join the Association .

      EXTBN 8 I 0 N OF THE ASSOCIATION TO TUB 18 Z . B OF MAN . Douglas , Aug . 24 . —Mr Peel reported , having attended a meeting convened by placard of the trades of Douglas , in the large room of the Wellingtonhall , which ffas attended by nearly five hundred of the tradesmen and working-classes of Douglas . Mr M'Gowan , shoemaker , moved that Mr William Daniels take the chair . Mr Daniels addressed the meeting , congratulating them at the prospect of a movement of so important a character as that alluded to in the placard being introduced into the Island . He showed by facts , within his own experience , how beneficial nnion , when based on sound , equitable principles , had proved to those who had adopted them . Ho

      particularly alluded to the great improvement which nad been effected in the condition and prospects of that numerous and important body he had the honour of being connected with . He said he should have great satisfaction in giving all the assistance in his power to promote its introduction into the Isle of Man . He would not occupy their time at any groat length , as Mr Peel , member of the Central Committee of the National Association , was prepared to give them a full explanation of its objects and principles . After a fm more appropriate observations he concluded , amidst much applause , by introducing Mr Peel . - Mr Peel , on raising , was greeted with strong marks of satisfaction . He assured them how much pleasure he felt in having an opportunity of

      introducing what had not been unaptly termed ' The Monster Movement , ' into their beautiful and rapidly improving Island . He referred to the improvement which was already visible , and which might be considered only the commencement of that gradual , yet certain extension in the commercial and trading operations of the Island , which might be clearly traced as the first fruits-of those fiscal measures which had recently been passed through the valuable exertions of their friend , Dr Bowring , and which will , no doubt , receive the crowning triumph by tho successful termination of the struggle they were now engaged in to effect their political regeneration . When this consummation , * so devoutly to be desired , ' was accomplished , then the enterprise and energies

      of the sons efMona would have fair play ; then the mineral and agricultural wealth would be fully developed , and all the advantages of her geographical position would bo fully appreciated . But if these changes have the effect ol enriching those who embark their capital and energies in trade , what security have the working classes that they will reap their fair share of these benefits ? they are disorganised , and have , while in that condition , no power to protect their interests . Mr Peel then went into a long explanation of the principles of the National Association , and proved , by a process of reasoning that the middle classes , as they were usually called , had an interest as doen as th « worhin «

      classes m assisting them-by all their means , iu any well-directed effort , conducted in accordance with law and equality , to protect their wagos . He begged to assure those gentlemen of the middle class , many of whom he saw round him , that their interestswere deeply involved in the welfare of the working classes : he assured them it was his most earnest desire to seethe cord of sympathy drawn closer between these two . classefl who were natural allies . Ho reminded them th # t a fall of two or three shillings per week on the wages nf the working man caused an inconvenience in their bill at the week ' s end . He trusted , and , indeed , he knew , from his past experience , that a great change had taken place in the opinions ol the most enlightened of both of these classes , and

      there wara enlightened men , and to a very consider * able extent too , among even the working classes . Hethen went into various illustrations to show tne operations ^ the National Association , which gar * great satisfaction to the meeting . After a long ad . dress he thanked them for the attention thoy had listened to him with , and withdrew amidst general and loud applause . ° . „• » The gratuitous use of the Large Room having beea offered to Mr Peel for another meeting , he gladly availed himself of the kind offer , and on th e next evening another meeting took place , which was very well attended . Mr P ., on this occasion , went further into detail , showing the rise and progress of the Association . Mr Daniels followed , and ultimately it was agreed on te call a delegate meeting of tho

      trades of Douglas , for the purpose ot terming a bronco of the National Association . On Friday evening a meeting of delegates took place , when it was found that seven trades were pre . sent by their representatives . The meeting then , proceeded to the election of officers , pro . tm . Mr Daniels , editor of the Miners' Advocate , kindly con . sented to act as secretary . Mr John Sherwood , tinsmith , was appointed treasurer , and Mr Rimmer , rope maker , treasurer . . Mr Peel then congratulated the meeting upon the good beginning they had made , and explained the duties of district committees , ltwas then agreed *

      for the present , to hold weekly meetings ; A vote of thanks was passed by acclamation to Mr Daniels , for the handsome proffer of his valuable services . The meeting then adjourned . Since then the cen « tral committee have received advice of extensive alhesions liaving'taken place , with every prospect of large additions . . . pt On Tuesday evening , Messrs Pfiel and Humphries attended , as a deputation from the Central Committer upon the Morocco leather dressers , of Bermondsey , - te > bespeak their aid and co-operation in behalf of tbe op . pressed miners of Holytown . A numerous meeting was assembled .

      Mr Peel addressed them , and explained the origin and attendant circumstances of this unhappy rupture . He entered into a strong appeal to their humanity and lot * of justice , not to permit these wealthy oppressors to ride roughshod over those whom destiny has placed in their power . ' . ,. s ' Mr Humphries followed , and gave an eloquent detail of tbe spirited masnrr In whloh this important question had been met in Wolverhampton and other towns la that neighbourhood . He showed by . the most convinc * jng reasoning how deeply tba interests of all trade * were inTolved in tbe case of the Holytovvh miners .

      The observations of Messrs Peel and Humphries ap . peared to make a deep impression on tha meeting . A strong fteling of sympathy was elicited . The deputation n-ere informed that if they would withdraw , the meeting would take the question into their immediate consideration ; and , no doubt , they would take up the question with that promptitude its importance called for . We have great pleasure in stating that a resolution was passed to form a Committee to canvas tbe leather trade * of Bermondsey for subscriptions , and that tbe list i » headed with a handsome donation from tbe Morocco leather dressers of Bermchdsiy .

      Bibhihobak . —On Saturday , August 28 th , Mr Hum phrhs attended a public meeting , at Birmingham , to gire an explanation ef the principles and objects of the National Association ; Mr Wm , Smith in tbe obalr , The meeting was not very large , but an excellent spirit in . favour of the Association prevailed . The speaker , after a brief exposition of the objects of the Association , directed thalr attention to the case of the Holytown miners . The meeting felt indignant at the . ernel treatment of the master miners towards their hands , - and resolved to exert themselves to the utmost to proonre as * siatance for the colliers , to help to resist effectually the aggressions of capitalists upon the rights of industry . OnMonday , August 31 , Mr Humphries attended a second meeting of the trades , of which meeting we ex . tract the . following report from the Birmingham-Journal' !—

      Nation !! , Association op Unites Tains , — On Monday evening last , a meeting of the operaUye classes of this town was held at the Public Office , 'ildofistreet , for the purpose of hearing from Mr Humphries , of Loudon , an explanation of the principles and objects of the ' National Association of United Trades . ' From the eloquent address of the above-named gentleman , it would appear that the primary object of the Association was to do awaf with the old system of trades ' unions , or ra » ther incorporate them into one great union , to tbe priliieges of which all trades would be admitted ; and , whilst they considered this in itself an advantage over the old system , they had also another in the mode ia which they settled the differences betwixt tbe employer and the employed . Instead of tbe workmen endeavour * ing to gnin their just rights , or resist oppression . by a

      ' strike , ' whith had always been found to be injurious t «> both parties , more or less , they proposed to decide tbe matter in a more efficacious way ; namely , by setting up an oppositien trade in tbe same town , to be conducted by the workmen whom the Association had reason to believe were really oppressed . This was to he accomplished by a central fund of tbe contributions , of the members of the Association . Tbis novel plan of settling such matters bad already been satisfactorily tested in many towns , both in England and Scotland , and it was found that the threat was generally sufficient in obtaining for the operative his rights . Mr Humphries entered into many interesting details , and the meeting appeared to approvebigbly of tho objects of the Association . Ad . dresses were delivered b y Mr John Para , the chairman of the meeting , and ethers friendly to Its objects . '

      On Tuesday , September 1 st , Mr H . rsturned to the Potteries , to exert himself to effect an adjustment of thestrike among the crate makers ; and is happy to say that the affair has every appearance of being speedily settled to their advantage , many of tbe masters having already given the price . We say to the crate makers , be steady and persevere , and , having onee obtained your price , see that you hold it fast , and let no one take it from you . Tour position is such , as is not equalled in any other trade in the country . Tou have only to stick together like mon , and you will be able to retain tbe advantage ; yeu are steadily and successfully accomplishing .

      witHNHin . —On Septembur the 8 rd , Mr Humphries attended a meeting of the locksmiths and key-forgers of that town . Mr H , showed tho adaptation of the Na . tional Association to meet the wants of those trades , and as it regarded the Employment Association , they could as soon , and as easily give employment to theirtrade , as any other trade in this country , however oam « plicated and Intricate it might be . But , at the tama time , the Association did not wish to ester into any manufacturing or commercial speculation , unless they were forced into it , by the oppressive and tjramncal measures of unprincipled employers . The speaker then directed attention to the Holjtwn affiir , and wrged upon the meeting the necessity of their individually cooperating with the Central Committee , to procure assist ' ance for the nohlo men of Scotland ,

      WoLVKBHAHPioti . —On September 4 th , Mr H . attended a meeting oftbe locksmiths of that town . But on account of the officers and principal membeis of the trade being engaged in canvassing the town and tbe snrronnding district , to obtain subscriptions for the Holytown Miners , consequently , the meeting was ad * journed till Monday , - at three o'clock , p . m . Monday , September 6 tb , at the request oftheoffjeers of ths edge-toolmakers , Mr Humphries attended their quarterly district meeting , held at the Unleora Inn , Bilstan-street , at 11 e'cloek , 2 . h . ^ ] . ' ' /' . ' .-. The meeting was well attended , and a great number of questions asked , in reference to tbe principles of the Association , which apparently were satisfactorily on . swered . «"¦ ¦ '

      At half-past three ,- Mr H . attended the adjourned meeting of tbe locksmiths and other trades , at the Royal George Inn . The meeting was a crowded one . The speaker entered largely into the prlnsiples of the Asio * ciation , and demonstrated , to the evident satisfaction of all present , the superiority of the National Association over nil local combinations ; and that , if the redemption and elevation of the working classes must be effected , it must be by the most rational plan adopted by that Association . The speaker then directed attention to the Holytown miners , and an excellent spirit in their favour was created , and active steps are taken to canvass that extensive district—and , wo are proud to say , that thehearts of the collectors , are fully engaged in the work , and they will not leave a . single shop , or pit , or foundry unvislted ; and every operative will be asked for his mite for Holytown . This is the way to do business , and we feel convinced that many other trades in the country will not be one whit behind the trades of Wolverhampton .

      At nine o'clock , p . m ., Mr Humphriss attended a meeting of the operative plasterers of that town ; when be entered fully into the constitution , principle of man . agement , and plans of operation of the National Association . He also explained the position oftbe Holytown miners , and showed , that if the miners failed in resistiig the aggressions of their masters . no trade in the country would be safe one month from similar attacks . The plasterers are a small body in this town , but they have liberally responded to our call , they number twenty-five members , the whole of which were not present , and they subscribed £ 12 s for the miners . If the generality of the trades would only follow the example of these men / tbe poor colliers would never fear being overpowered by the strong hand of capital .
