      A Modern Phgenjx The Ultimate Dessation ...

      , ^ ^_ i cal eal and lay at a recent meeting , when the I Ma Wayorof Manchester explained the new par * t-fes-fesu * ° ^ *^ Socialist Hall is to be put . ' Wh ( The ? Sb ? anea ' * ° think that a victory had neen i cai fiained ovtf" $ * principles of Socialism , when , ¦ as Is far as v nnderstand those principles , the thev were essentially triumphant It is true tha that the scientif ically and harmoniousl y eon-Sr ducted communit ies , or Home Colonies , proand looted

      v o < rosed by Kobert Owes , upon as m ha taw t ' tfeav of Society by his disciples , have » o fiot yetmadetheirappsarance . Itistraethfct fc ' ai the ideal has not been translated into the real , in in the precise fashion and maoner in which th fhe more enthusiastic , imaginative , and sanm eraiae believers in Socialism propound for pub lic % adop tion . But it is not less true , tbat in m making that Hall a Public Library and Read-T $ 5 u « -TOom for the gratuitous use of the whole

      o of the inhabitants of Manchester , the essen-£ tial pri « 'P ° ^ SocJaJifim bas been admitted . 5 r £ be Xew Library is the first fruits of the 6 fitm ^ g le to introduce higher and more unselfj fish p rincip les into Social action ; and they will i in . their turn , by promoting a superior mental a and moral cultivation of the masses , render o other and more perfect applications of these

      t princip les possible and practical If we take Manchester previous to the j commencement of the Socialist agitation , i which spread from that centre in the year 1836 and in a few years afterwards became j so prominent a topic of public attention , it i mil be seen tbat almost all tbe improvements * of which the manufacturing capitalist can

      ] boast at this day , have been contemporaneous i with that agitation . Narrow , close , unventii Zated streets , courts , and alleys , have been i swept away , and broad , open , airy streets i substituted ; " pay-bridges'' have been abo' lished , and widened , to admit the consequent increased traffic . Parks , gymnasiums , and museums have been opened freely and gratuitously ; Institutions for combining the education of the working classes with healthy and itannless recreations , have been largel y multiplied during that period . These immense

      salutary , soci a l , and moral improvements have Been mainl y , if not wholly , e ffected by acting on the principle of associative and common properly . Tho profits arising from the corporate gas works have sufficed for all the public improvements in the City , b y which all are benefited , and to which aU have contributed . From the same source yet great improvements may be looked for , and especiall y in the cheap and abundant supply of pure water at a moderate price , from sources at such a distance as would have made the

      supply otherwise unattainable for the rapidly growing population of this great city . In sill these things we see the princi p le of the commonwealth triumphing over the principle of selfishness and individualism ; and the movement in the same direction is obvious in other , proposals now under consideration . The Museum of tho Philosophical Society , rich in objects , attraction , and instruction , can no longer be supported on the old individual and exclusive system ; the same is the case with the Botanical Gardens . These were formerl y the pet and favoured resorts of the Manchester aristocracy . It is now proposed to bargain for them , as has been done for the Socialist Hall ,

      and to vest them—like it—in the hands of the Corporation , for the gratuitous use and enjoyment of the public . These are to the Social Reformer gratify ing proofs of progress—indications that the worship of Mammon has not entirely stifled the noblest faculties of our nature , or rendered us wholl y insensible of the more important objects of aU national and corporate existence . Besides vhich , each step taken in this course is a guarantee of farther , and greater progress . The horizon widens as the traveller advances . Broader , and more distinct views open up , and with them grows the inclination , and the power to attempt and achieve grander ,, more comprehensive reforms and improvements . i

      Socialism may never come into general practice in the form given to it by its venerable Founder ; the regularly planned parallelograms which he considers the perfection of architectural and corporate arrangements may never have an existence bslvq in the imagination of their designer j but the principle of brotherhood , mutuality , and commonality , which is the essence of his philosophy , must more and

      more prevail . It will impel men to discover new and more beneficent modes of association , by which the wealth , the intelligence , the gkilL and the cap i t al of society m a y be made ininistrant to the elevation of the masses , The confined and exclusive enjoyments of the few public parks , museums , libraries , and gardens are but the initiatory steps of a moveznent originated by Socialism , and tending to the realisation of a nobler and purer civilisation than the present .

      The Tables Turned In France, J Loo Ts Na...

      THE TABLES TURNED IN FRANCE , j Loo ts Napoleon has , so far , the best of the fi ght between himself and the Assembly . It is true that , by a coalition of Legitimists , Orleanists , and the Mount a in , the new Ministry has been broken up almost as soon as finished ; bnt the materials of which the majority is composed are so heterogeneous—so inc a p a ble of acting in concert—that thePiiE-$ dest -will not find it ? ery difficult to form a temporary Ministry from the more compact and workable minority that supported

      the policy of the Elysee . In the meantime , he has got rid of the formidable Chasgabxier , and asserted his supremacy over the army as head of the Executive . The Mountain is evidentl y beg inning to understand Parliamentary tactics . They have compelled Thiers and the factions to throw overboard the military chief , who was ostensibl y the cause of the quarrel , and to confine themselves simply to censuring the Executive . They have thus gained a substantial victory . For the first time this two years the reactionary party is broken and disp ersed , and that under circumstances which

      seem to indicate that it can never again be reunited in such numbers as to be so formidably obstructive and tyrannical as it has been . In any future Parliamentary combination , the two hundred members of the Leftwill countfor more than they have hitherto done . All parties in making their calculations will crrefolly ascertain what course they are likely to take ; and , as on the late division against the ministry , modify theirown cause , if they feel it necessary to have the support of the Republican party . And that support , as far as we can see at present , will be indispensable to

      any party that asp ires to rule in France . Loras Napoleon , we doubt not , will be astute enouah to perceive the fact , and act accordingly ? Although he is now try ingto carry on aflairs with the help of a nondescript , moderate minority , the current of erentsmnat , m the long run , carry him nearer to the Mountain . As 1852 approaches , and the geat struggle for the office of Chief Magistrate is renewed , the importance of popular support will become more obvious to his mind , lie must now be aware of the fact , that he Has nothins whatever to hope from any hollow ana

      deceptive trace between himself and the maioriiy . " They have openly avowed that they have tolerated him simpl y as a wanning pan for their respective proteges , and are determined to kick him out the moment they have the opportunity . Whatever quarrels have heretofore taken place out of doors , between the partisans of the Pbesidesx and the "majority" in the Assembly , they went hand-in-hand -in all measures of repression and coercion as applied to the Democratic party . The Pkesidest became the cat ' s paw of the reactionists instead of the impartial and . dignified elected Heafl of a Republic . The Executive showed to energviaproiecuting " Bed ' jouriwl 8--I >

      imprisoning zealous advocates of Democracy , after mock trials before brutal and besotted tribunals—b y discharging really Republican Mayors and other officials in the provincesby disbanding National Guards who were suspected of sincere attachment to the Republicby forbidding , and almost effectually suppressing , the sale of popular papers—and lastl y , and worst of all , by joining with them for the disfranchisement of more than one third of the electoral bod y , who had given these Executive and Legislative conspirators against the Constitution the powers which they thus infamously and shamefully turned against the peopla

      ia return for this readiness to play the game of despotism , and for destroying the Roman Republic , " the majority" voted the money which the extravagance and the intrigues of the President had rendered indispensable to the maintenance of his position . Kb sooner , however , did he gst possession of the payment for his dirty work , than he tried to convert it into a capital on which he might trade on his own account . He made bis celebrated provincial tours with almost regal magnificence , and wound up with the reviews , at which the soldiers were bribed to shoat

      wee VEmperenr , by the magnificent present of twopence-halfpenny a man , and sundry small ( i creature comforts . " True , he failed in his object , and finding himself foiled , now thinks it necessary io abjure all such intentions . Bnt he has said and done enough to convince the extreme reactionary party that he will no longer be their tool . In the quarrel between the two rogues , we sincerel y hope that honest Republicans will come b y their own It is stated that the " Red" party are full y prepared to take advantage of any open or hostile encounter between the intriguing

      and selfish aspirants for power , and to strike a decisive blow in favour of the Republique Democratique et Sociale . The correspondent of the Times pretends to g ive circumstantial revelations of extensive and well organized arrangements for that purpose ; but he is so well known to be the mouth-piece of the police office , by whom these reports are so often fabricated , that not much credence can be attached to his statements . It is undoubtedly judicious with popular parties , to be prepared for the worst in France at the present moment , and should the factions become infuriated

      enough to come to blows , they should convert their antagonism into tbe means of obtaining a decisive triumph for the Republic . "We confess , however , to having more faith in the permanence of victory gained by Parliamentary means than in that won by arms . If the honest and sincere representatives of the true Republican party in France carefully watch their opportunities—bring their whole

      strength to bear on the elections , and avail themselves adroitly , but justifiabl y , of every disagreement between the enemies of the Constitution , to strengthen their own position and increase their own influence iuthe Assembly , the executive power must , in the end , be vested in them , because no other party will find office tenable . Their policy must continue to be , as it has been , defensive . The opponents of the Constitution must be driven to act on the

      aggressive ; and , should they ever be so mad as to rash into actual conflict for the purpose of consummating their designs against the liberties of France , the world will applaud whatever punishment the Republican party may thinkproper to inflict on avowedtraitorsto their country , and rebels against the constitution agreed to b y the nation . Taking and keeping this position , making the Constitution

      their watchword , and its protection and ! maintenance their most sacred duty , they will I occupy a vantage ground , from which it will be difficult , if not impossible , to dislodge them . They will be the Conservatives and friends of order ; the odium and the criminality of attempting to subvert the existing institutions of society will rest with the parties who assail , not those who defend their

      institutions . Louis Napoleon may have gained a temporary triump h b y the recent straggle , but we are of op inion that the real and substantial gain has been on the side of the Republic . The lamentations of tbe despotic find " order mong er" journals prove that they are aware they have lost the ascendancy they have so long maintained . "We earnestly trust it will never be restored .

      WINDING UP AND DISSOLUTION OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY .

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY . Friends . — The bill for dissolving and winding up the affairs of our association is now prepared , and has been lodged at the proper quarter as required by law , along with a petition from the Directors , for introduction to the House of Commons immediately after the commencement of the approaching session . There yet remains necessary l e g a l and other steps which the presentation of these papers to Parliament will necessitate , which cannot , however , be taken unless the necessary funds be provided forthwith .

      The Directors do not desire , nor is it reasonable to expect , that these expenses , which should ' be borne by the entire Company , should be paid by a section only . They propose that whatever may be advanced for this purpose shall be by way of loan ; that all monies so lent shall bear interest at the rate of five per cent per annum—both principal and interest to be paid out of the proceeds of thesale of the Company ' s property , before any dividend shall be made in favour of any member whatsoever . Thus all will be made to contribute towards the fund . Those who will not advance money themselves will be

      made to pay interest upon sums lent by others . The Newcastle , South Shields , and Asbton branches hare alread y proposed that a plan of this sort should he acted upon ; and the Directors in thanking them for the suggestion , have now to announce that they have opened a book at the Office of the Company , for the purpose of entering sums to the credit of each individual subscriber , who will obtain a certificate of the amount lent , and which certificate shall entitle the holder to receive back , at the winding up of the affairs of the Company , both the whole amount lent , together with five per cent , per annum , from the date of its advancement .

      That all monies sent shall be b y Post Office Order , addressed to the Directors , 144 , High Holborn , and made payable to the Treasurer , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., atthe Post Office , Bloomsbury . Branch Secretaries , and others desirous of bringing the affairs of the Company to ^ a speedy and satisfactory settlement , are respectfull y requested to promote the loan for WINDING OT , tothe extent of their power .

      Repeal Op The Window Tax On Wednesday Ni...

      REPEAL OP THE WINDOW TAX On Wednesday night a crowded public meeting of the parishioners of St . Giles and St . Gew-ge , Uoomsbury , conyened by the Parochial Assooiatwn , was held at the Music-hall , Store-street , in order to adopt measures for obtaining tho total and immediate repeal of the window tax . Mr . B . B . Cabbell , M . P ., occupied the chair , and deputations were present from the whole of the metropolitan parishes . Mr . Rogers proposed tho first resolution , which was merely of a declaratory character , that the window tax was unjust in principle , and oppressive in its operations . '

      Mr . Savaoe seconded the resolution . Mr . Bai , M . P ., supported the resolution , be"eying that the tax was far more injurious to those who did not pay than to those who did pay ; for those who were just on the verge of paying the tax , were led to curtail the number of windows in their houses to tho greatest possible extent . He sugge s te d that petitions should be prepared in every street against this tax , and that on the first day of the session there should be about thirty petitions pr e sente d by some six or seven gentlemen . On the next day forty should be presented , on the n e xt fifty , and so on , increasing until either the name of every street in tho metropofia had been heard in the House o f Common s , or the Ministers had consented to yield to the unanimous wish of the people . ( Cheers . ) He believed that by t h is system the repeal of the tax would be obtained in three weeks .

      ( Cheers . ) Mr . George , churchwarden of St . Anne ' s , supported the resolution , a n d announced , at the request of Mr . Lushington and Sir D . L . Evans , that , should the government refuse the just demands oi the people , they were prepared to do their duty , and to obstruct the government in all matters of supply . ( Cheers . ) ' . Mr . Kicuolay , Mr . Fbeeth , and others having spoken to the resolution , it was carried unanimousl y . Mr . Cooper moved the second resolution , which contained a petition to Parliament , aud a request to e a ch of the nrembers for t h e b orou gh to su ppor t it s prayer , and in the event of the tax not being repealed , to vote against the supplies being granted . Mr . M- 'Ore seconded the resolution , and congratulated the meeting that men of all shades ef political opinions were determined that this tax should no longer exist . It was carried unanimously .

      Mr . > YaK £ Ev , M . P ., on rising was received with great applause . He said that he accepted with great pleasure the mission which they had entrusted to him , and he assured them that nothing short of actual danger to his health should prevent h im f rom b eing in the house when the motion shoul d bo brought forward . The very course which was now proposed he had suggested in 1848 , i n t h e House of Commons , and the late lamented Sir R . Peel told him , after the debate had terminated , that he thought he bad made a very violent speech . His ( Mr . Wakley ' s ) reply was , that he thought the occasion required it . ( Hear , hear . ) He asked whether the constituencies had done their duty in this matter ? One of the ministers had told him , only a short time ago , that he didn't believe the people cared a straw about it ; and the fact was , that neither in the City of London nor in the Tower

      Hamlets had a public meeting in opposition to the window tax yet been held . In the great borough of Finsbury also there had only been one or two . Now , that w a s not the w a y to t a ke u p the question . They must protest against it manfully and firmly . They must protest , too , against a h ouse tax ; an d there are m a ny other th i ngs that they must protest against . There must be a great ch a n g e in the whole sy stem of t a x a t i on sho r t ly , and the great principle must be acted upoilj that property should be pressed upon severely before industry was touched at all . ( Loud cheers . ) Now , they had formed an association there ; did they mean , after the window tax was repealed , to giro it up ? ( No , no . ) Why , if they did , they must be mere homceopatbista in reform to be satisfied with such a globule . ( Cheers . ) If good acts were not done by a government , the fault lay chiefly with the people , and it behoved them to make such manifestations

      as no government could resist . The tax was the mos t iniquitous th a t h a d ever b een im p ose d , and it was marvellous to conceive how there could ever have existed a wretch vile enough to impose it . ( Cheers . ) Ho , for one , should strenuously resist the granting of supplies , unless that tax was repealed . ( Cheers . ) On the motion of Mr . W . D . Cooper , a vote o f thanks was passed to Lord Duncan , accompan i ed with a request that he would brin ^ on the motion for the repeal at the earliest possible period in the next session ; and a deputation having been appointed to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer , in conjunction with the deputations from the other metropolitan parishes , the meeting separated .

      Tne Adifmeration Of Coffee.—The Announce...

      TnE ADifMERATioN of Coffee . —The announcement which we made a few days ago , tbat the Government was about to put in forcethe penalties exigible by act of Parliament against the adulteration of coffee , has caused no small sensation' among the fraudulent dealers in that article , who , unfortunately for the public , form about nine-tenths of the coffee dealers . What has added to their alarm , is the activity displayed by the Excise in detecting the adulteration of spices ; and the conviction of one of them a few days ago in penalties tothe amount of £ 300 for adulterating pepper , is considered to be a heavy blow and great discouragement to the fraudulent dealers ia coffee . For it is now auite evident that the Government cannot permit

      the extensive frauds in coffee to be tolerated any longer , while the comparatively trifling adulterations of spices have the vengeance of the law directed against them . Indeed , the coffee question is finally disposed of , t h e Gov e rnm e nt ha ving b een b e a ten in e v e r y a rgument they hav e urg e d f or further delaying legislative enactments to prevent adulteration . In the whole kingdom there are only three parties who support the present system of adulterating coffee . ' These are—1 st . The adulterators themselves . 2 nd . Our present brilliant Chancellor of the Exchequer , who is reported to be a grower of chicory himself ( see Lance t , Jan . 4 ) , but whether this is a fact or no we cannot vouch for . And 3 rd . The growers of chicory—certainly a very small number of men . For the sake of these parties the ' public has been cheated for many years ; the

      . Government has been defrauded of several hundred thousand pounds per annum ; the honest tradesman has had his business injured by bis fraudulent neighbour ; and our colonial grower has had to compete , with his production taxed at the rate of £ 37 6 s . 8 d . per ton , against the home producer of chicory , which does not pay one farthing of duty . So soon as the Order in Council which permits the dealer in coffee to vend chicory is rescinded , and which wc understand will be done immediately , the adulteration of coffee will cease instantaneouslyfor it is certain that no tradesman of any means , or any one who has the slightest regard for his respectability , would mix coffee with any other substance , when he was liable to be informed against by his own servants , and fined in heavy penalties by the Government . —London Neiv Price Current .

      Aw Adventuress m Difficulties . —Miss Laura Bell , whose name has been much before the public , on the 12 th of September , 1850 , gave at London a bill of exchange for £ 195 , for jewels purchased of Mr . Josh . Joel . She came to Paris without paying the bill , and Mr . Josh . Joel passed it to a Frenchman . ; When it became due , M . Rognoux , the holder , caused proceedings to be taken on it , and had her arrested . She was taken before the Presid ent of the Civil Tri b un a l , who ordered the arrest to be maint a ine d , as the debt was perfectly regular . Miss Bell , instead of being taken at once to prison , caused herself to be conveyed to the residence of M . Guy de la Tour-da-Pia , and that gentleman advanced her 5 , 300 f . to pay the debt and costs , but under reserves . The lady was thereupon released , and she has since appealed to the Court of Appeal to have the judgment of the Civil Tribunal , declaring the validity of the debt , set aside . But , a fter hearing

      arguments , the court confirmed the judgment . Mouse Mills , —A gentleman in Kirkaldy , Scotlan d , has trained a couple of mice , and invented machinery , enabling them to spin cotton yarn . The work is so constructed that the common house mouse is enabled to make atonement to society for past offences , b y t wi st i n g twine a nd reeling from 100 to 126 threads per day . To complete this , the little pedestrians have to run ten miles and a half . A halfpenny worth of oatmeal , at la . 3 d . par peek , serves one of these tread wheel culprits for the long period of five weeks . In that time it makes 110 threads per day . At this rate a mouse earns 7 s . 6 d . per annum . Take off 5 J . for board , and Is . for machinery , there will arise 6 s . clear for every mouse annually . The mouse employer was going to make an application for the lease of an old empty house , which would hold 10 , 000 mouse mills , sufficient room being left for keepers and some hundreds of spectators .

      New Alimentary . Substances for tub Working Classes . —The French Consul at the Republic of Ecuador has brought thence two alimentary new plants of great importance . The tuber ot' ene , called Hocus , bas the form of an oblong potato , the interior of the substance , however , has a red and yellow colour , and the taste is that of a chestnut . The other is called Mllicoy ani its form an d taste i s very nearly that of the potato . Both grow wild and in great abundance- near Quito , even in the moat neagre soil .

J !! * w" 2 ! sin * ularly calle < i "National Associations . \\ o have seen , and have expected to have b ee n snu f f ed out by a " Metropolitan National Association for the Organisation of Trades . " This was to swallow up within itself all existing industrial , social , and political movements . Detailed plans wore prepared and published , for completely revolutionising the existing state of society . All the elaborate details were carefully prepared , and embodied in a draught of a bill , which only waited , and we suppose still waits , for a member to present it , and a legislature to carry it .

      Anen , were is a National Association of Minors , National Association of Printers and Compositors , National , Association of Stonemasons , National Association of the Iron Trades , and a varietv of others ; but none seem to dream of the desirability of carrying their nationalising exertions beyond their own particular craft . We sincerely believe that the prejudices which are said to stand in the way of effecting what all parties umte in confessing both desirable and imperative , and what the trades mutt come to at last , does not lie with the masses , but-with their leaders . We fear there is in the industrial , as there appears to be in the Democratic political world , an unwillingness to part with tho slightest modicum of power and position . Self-aggrandisement rules , inste ad of a no le , unselfish patriotism .

      We know not if this ignoble princip le of a ction applies generall y ; but we know , from our experience , that it does apply , in too many instances . We know of no remedy for this humiliating state of things , but the slow , thoug h sure , progress of public opinion . We believe a new light is springing up among our fellow-workmen of nearly all trades , and that they will not permit themselves much longer to be kept back in the old mill-horse round , h « t will very soon take upon themselves to " lead their leaders , " and point them the road to a more enlightened and unselfish policy . While tho

      chosen and trusted leaders of the trades are thus harnessing themselves at the tail of every progressive movement , an d a re tug gi ng for their very lives to prevent the oonsummntion of an extensive National Confederation of Labour , the ever-watchful enemies aro making dire and successful onslaughts on the vital interests ot their bodies . We have before us an address , issued by the Hammermen of Messrs . Sharp , Brothers , and Co ., of Manc h ester , in the eighth week of their strike . The writer of this pamphlet appears to see clearly into the position of his fellow-workmon , and the only effective remedy that presents itself . The address is written with such an earnestness of purpose , and is so replete with irrefutable arguments in favour of a complete revolution in trades' policy , that we think we shall be conferring a benefit to our cause , and wo trust also tothe Hammermen of Manchester , by contributing to its publicity ;—

      " Fellow Countotmkn , — 'To your tents O Israel' was a watchword of caution used among the Hebrews when danger was apprehended , and each man thus warned , took precautions to meet the corning difficulty , or resist the aggressions of the common enemy . "A saying so remarkable and pert i nent is equ al ly app l i ca ble to labour ' s sons at tho present juncture . Circumstances are rising pregnant with the most important results to your order , and duty combined with necessity have forced us into our pr e sent position , and which we , as brave and honest men , a re now determ i n ed to c a rry forw a r d with the help and assistance of others .

      " For years past wo need scarcely tell you th a t a crusade against the Order of Labour has been si l ently a nd stea d i ly progressing . The reduction of the means of resistance has constantly been in process , whilst the incomplete organisation amongst tradesmen and the working classes have accelerated this levelling system . If proof be wanted , go ask the weavers Of Spitalfielda— go ask the poor tailor who pines under tho accursed " Sweating System " —go ask the spinner of cotton , and the ill-paid workman at the loom—go ask the Morning Chronicle and its " Tales of Life" the mechanic , mason , miner , the clerk , tradesman—in a word— ask yourselves . And what is your answer ? The same remorseless levelling—the same financial lopping-off , and if heed be not taken the same destruction awaits all .

      " For resisting a most unjustifiable act of financial tyranny the Hammermen of Messrs . Sharp , Brothers , & Co ., of Manchester have been forced to leave off work . To prevent them winning back their already . scanty wages , to render their efforts powerl es s , a silent consp iracy seems to have been animating masters ; for other shops in the same trade—nay , even in its hi gher branches , have received notice of a similar reduction , ranging from 10 to 20 per cent on tho present prices . Piatt and Hibbert ' s shop at Oldham being already on strike , and the men on the Leeds line having received notice for a reduction to a very serious amount . " What means this combined crusade against labour ' s rights ? What does all these continued struggles portend ? Where will they end ? Who is to be sacrificed ?

      " Working Men—these aro all serious questions , and questions which will be answered . There is danger in keeping aloof . If one trade is destroyed the scattered remnants become needy and sturdy competitors against your own , and , perhaps , you need scarcely be reminded that surplus labour is a fearful antagonist . "Let all thinking men remember that every fortunate blow struck against labour renders capital more exacting and secure , and themselves more exposed and unable to resist .

      " We , the committee of the ' Turn Outs , ' venture to assert fearlessly , that the man who sacrifices the interests of labour to present use , robs po s terity o f i t s h a ppiness a n d i nvolves his own children in the common ruin . " The hopes of gain should be regulated by a wi s e p ru d ence , reserving and directing its operations , so as to imp a rt a hea lt hy tone to society , and thereby prepare it to enjoy those blessings flowing from a w ell regulated go vernm e nt , so that future generations should not have to regret the folly and selfishness of their sires . " The Committee are not blind to the effects which supply and demand have upon the labour market . No . They are ready oven now to recognise the relation which ought to exist between

      them . What they raise up their voices against is the avariciousness of those men who take advantage of every circumstance , and make both ( irrespective of principle ) subservient to their own selfish and inor d inat e lust , forgetting that a hig her and more holy authority than even Adam Smith , or his Sc h ool , b as written this promise f or m a n 's hope' The workman shall be the first partaker of the fruits of his industry ; ' an d which again was sanctioned and stereotyped , by no mere aper of Christian humility and justice , that— ' The labourer is worthy of his hire . ' "It is time to waken tothe reality of these things . To be safe you mus act mutually . And by centralizing your interests and energies , the salvation of labour will be secured and capital confined to its legitimate influences .

      "In directing attention to these subjects , the Committee in Manchester have the weal of their fellow wor k men a t h eart , and they do trust tbat the assistance of every earnest reformer , unionist , and non-unionist , will be exerted in their behalf , and their own . ' Let copies be laid upon your lodge tables , upon your work-benches , and be circulated among your friends and societies . Let the man who can read , read aloud to his fellowmen who cannot read—and let him who is the best debater among your body take up the question , and endeavour to promote a more strict union of all trades ; A veritable protective union , and success must follow such earnestness , perseverance , and conduct .

      " Lookat this picture—Even free labour offered with all the necessary physical requisites of strength ; and willingness has grown into a commodity soi cheap and valueness that capitalists can afford to s purn it , or b uy i t up in masses !!! This is only the beginning of the end . Immensel y wealth y capitalists , will have so centralised trade and manufacture that huge working bastiles will become the workshops of the future operative , where the conditions of giving workjill be the mere sustenance of animal life—where Mi will represent a monied equivalent fop labour . Where indeed tbe only motive for finding employment will be a compound of fear , interest , and necessity . " Working men , avert such a horrid calamity by union amongst yourselves , —clubmen and non-club , men your power , if united for six months , would

' ' In various other quarters , reduction of wages appears to be the order of the day . In Manchester and Oldham , in Leeds , and even in one of tho most favoured and enli ght e ne d tr ad es i n Lon d on , a deadly crusade seems to have successfully set in against the rights of labour . The compositors of London are , it appears , to have their wages remodelled upon the Glasgow standard , notwithstanding tho immense difference

      in the cost of living , rent , and fuel . The whole body of compositors on the Mommy Post , Protectionist journal—the great sticker for " native industry , "—are , without tho slightest notice , superseded by a competent number of men , willingly imported from Glasgow . Yes ! such a perfect unanimity of feeling and interests exist amongst the members of this enlig htene d tra de , that the men of Glasgow are quito ready , without the slightest compunction of feeling , to give their best assistance to ruin their own trade .

      What else can be expected , when the most intelligent men of this and many other trades , persist ia keeping themselves , an d thos e ov er whom th e y possess influence , isolated and wrapped up in tho selfish dignity of theirown individualities ? This great evil , which might , as we think , easily have been prevented , is , we fear , scarcely now capable of being remedied . The Glasgow men have come to London with a full kno w l ed ge of the d isgr ac eful wo r k c ut o ut for them . They come willing tools to work out tho degradation of their order . There has been no sympathy cfr notions of united interest fostered or encouraged between the compositors of London and Glasgow . They have been kept as stranger .- ! , uni

      they treat each other as strangers . We tru > t that these unfortunate occurrences will at least have tho effect of arousing men to examine into the principles of union , to ask themselves whether their ideas or position in relation to their fellow-workmen , i n t h eir own a nd other tra de s , have not been too narrow and selfish ; and whether they are not capable of a wide extension , w i th great benefit to themselves and others . We have received several letters this week fvora . the sailors of Lynn , who , to the number of upwards of 300 , are gallantly resisting a foul conspiracy of their Protectionist employers—the shipowners of Lynn—to reduce their wages from £ 3 to £ 2 10 s . per voyage , averaging , perhaps , a three weeks' duration .

      What particular plea is offered for this attempted reduction , we know not ; but we do know that there is not a body of men in England who are better entitled to' the pittance they claim , than are these men . The severity and dangerous nature of their emp lo y m e nt ,-and the immense profits realised by the shipowners in the coal trade , renders their present attempt to rob their labourers of their hire utterly infamous . We rejoice to learn that the inhabitants and ratepayers of the port have shown a wise and generous disposition to aid the seamen in their noble determination to withstand the cruel robbery . The Central Committee having been appealed , to for their good offices , have agreed to render the gallant fellows such aid as the laws and constitution of the Association will warrant .

      Our old opponents , the Perrya of Wolverhampton , according to our latest advice , hare two new dodges on the carpet : — lat . —To import labour from Germany !!! 2 nd . —To get up forthwith an Indictment for Conspiracy against thirteen individuals !!!! We shall take immediate steps to counteract tho first move jand as for the second , we have every reason to g ive them credit for the desire , but are very much disposed to think that the attempt , if made , will turn out a dead failure .

      The Operatives Of Binglbr. To The Editor...

      THE OPERATIVES OF BINGLBr . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOBTUERN STAR . Sin , —You will recollect that in your last week ' s paper there appeared an account of a public meetm * being held in the Working Man ' s Hall , Keighley ; that meeting was for the purpose of organising tho different localities to withstand the reductions continually being made ^ ori the -poor-- operatives . T I ms m a nu fa cturers h a ve long had a determination'to try how little they can get their work done for , instead , o f try i ng how mu c h th e y cou ld aff or d to give , s o as to increase the happiness of those whom they aro indebted to for every comfort they enjoy , and on whem they are solely dependent . Tho workmen of Messrs . J . Sharp and Sons , Bingley , have made a

      bold and determined stand against this practice . They at once told their employers , that if they persisted in making such uncalled for reductions , ' that they would cease to work for . them . Hence the struggle began ; but the workmen saw that they would not he able to withstand their employers without the co-operation of their fellow-lahourers ; the required assistance was rendered , and thus the local union was commenced . It appears strange that the account of this triumph of labour over capital should never have appeared in the Leeds Times , though a full report was sent , together with a request that it should be inserted . At the public

      meeting held in the Working Man's Hall , Keighley it was unanimously agreed , that a copy of the resolutions should be sent to the Northern Star , also to the Leeds Times , requesting both the editors to insert them ; and that should the editor of tha Leeds Times refuse to insert them , it should be mado public through the medium of the Worthem Star , so that working men might savethemseives the troubla of sending any report of their feeble efforts to resist oppression , to a paper that only moves with tho Times . As secretary for the union , I have to request the insertion of this on behalf of the public meeting . Your ' s respectfully ,
