      Mau3i0n.H0use. — Bicamf Sr A Wohan.—Ann ...

      MAU 3 I 0 N . H 0 USE . — Bicamf sr a Wohan . —Ann Mills was charged with bigamy . Thomas Blake said tbat while absent from home , the prisoner , who was his wife , had married a policeman . The clerk of the parochial church of St Edmund the King and Martyr , in Lombardstreet , produced the marriage register , in which an entry appeared that John Cooke , bachelor and policeman , of Three King-court , was married to Ann Mills , spinster , on tbe 5 th of March , 1816 , of the same place . Thomas Birch ( policeman 563 ) stated that he was present at the marriage of the 5 th of March , 1816 , between the police , man and tbe prisoner Ann Mills . John Perkins , a weaver , stated tbat he was present at the maniage of Thomas Blake with the prisoner on the 29 th of September , 1831 , at Stepney Old Chnrch , on Stepney-green . The prisoner

      said nothing to the charge . Blake cannot positively say whether Cook knew that the prisoner was a married woman . When he saw her on Saturday , « be at first told him Cooke knew of it , and afterwards Cooke told him that he did not . Cooke lodged in his house before he got into the difficulty that caused his absence . Alderman Gibbs : What was that difficulty » Blake : I was taken into custody about tome wine which belonged to Mr Day , and I was tried at the Central Criminal Court , and while I was in confinement Cooke married my wife . He was taken into custody by Cooke . Cooke was called , hut did not answer . Inspector Todhunter said the moment it

      was known to the police authorities tbat an imputation of snch a kind was cast upon one of tbe force , the person accused was of course required to make an explanation . As , however , the man took no trouble to clear his character , he was informed that he was no longer one of the body , and he left the force on Saturday . Blake said that Cooke was in possession of his goods , which remained in the bouse after his committal to Newgate ; and hoped tbat the magistrate would order that they should be delivered np to him . Alderman Gibbs said he could not give any order of the kind , as the sheriffs were entitled to tbe property ef a convicted felon . Tbe prisoner was committed for trial .

      GUILDHALL . —Arothee Attempt at JTcbdeb . —John Filby , a young man , described to be a panel polisher , was charged with attempting to murder his wife and daughter . Hannah Filby , who bore an infant in her arms , and seemed iu the deepest grief , stated , that shortly before 12 o ' clock on Friday night , the prisoner , her husband , came home ia a very excited state and proceeded to quarrel with her . This continued for some time , and he suddenly left the room , saying "That he would put an end to all this . " She then placed tbe child on the bed , and in a few moments he returned with a razor , and throwing the blade quite back , ran to the bed , and stooped over the child . Having bo doubt what he intended to do , she grappled with him and caUed out "Murder ! " and " Police , " and , after a desperate effort , she succeeded in

      restraining him until an officer , named Douglas , who resided iu the same house , came to her assistance , With the aid of another constable , who was called from the street , the razor was eventually wrenched from his hand , and he was secured . Douglas , No . 30 , confirmed her statement : —The prisoner was a violent man , he was constantly quarrelling with her , and he ( Douglas ) was satisfiediftherazorhadnotbeen taken fromhim . more dreadful consequences must have ensued . He was an exceed , ingly indolent man , and cared littlefor the comfortof his wife and family . Tbe prisoner denied that he was an indolent man . The fact was , that his wife was con * stantly quarrelling , and he had no peace at home . Mr Alderman Johnson siid it was evident tbat he meditated them very serious injury , and he should cammit hira for trial .

      LAMBETH . —lMroETA » T to Pawbbbokebs and the Pcbuc—Mr Wood , pawnbroker , of St John-street , Clerkenwell , appeared before Mr Elliott , in compliance to a summons taken out by a young lady named Louisa Nutman , ia which he was charged with illegally detaining a gold watch that had bean iiUgally pawned at his shop . The hearing of the case occupied the magistrate for sometime , but the short facts were these . Onthe 20 th of April last the watch belonging to the complainant was left at the shop of a watchmaker named Thomai Kemp , then residing at No . 58 , Oakley-street , Lambeth , to be repaired . Soon after Kemp absconded , taking with him , or previously disposing of , upwards ef twenty watches which had been left with him to repair . And on the 10 th of May Mr Nutman , the brother ofthe complainant , received a letter from Mrs Kemp , in which was enclosed the duplicate of his sister ' s watch , which was pledged at the shop of Mr Wood for £ 5 . He subsequently called at the shop of Mr Wood , and upon paying

      Is . 3 d . interest , and 4 d . for a new tick « t , he was shown the watch , which be identified as his sister ' s , aud the shopman made a fresh ticket in his own name . An application was subsequently made at this court , and a warrant was granted against Kemp , but he has managed to elude the vigilance of Sergeant Ooff , an active officer , who holds it . Mr Humphreys , who attended on the part of the defendant , raised several law and other points against tbe proceeding . He also read from the Pawtibrokers ' Gazelle the paiticulars of an application made only the week before last to Mr Hardwick , at Marlboroughstreet for a summons against a pawnbroker for detaining two watches under precisely similar circumstances as inthe present case , and that magistrate refused to grant it , as tbe person pawning had not bsen proceeded against . Mr Elliott , however , was of opinion that the proceedings in the present case were in strict conformity with the law ; that the case had been clearly estab . lished , and ordered the ,, defendant to deliver up the watch toMissSutmao .

      '." Union For The Mtltim." It Is Our Int...

      ' . " Union for the Mtltim . " It is our intention this week to lay before you a few observations on the great principle of association , and the advantages or evils arising from the same . Association is one of the first principles almost developed by human nature , and exhibits itself most clearly and intelligibly—from lisping infancy to the hoary-headed old , veteran . It is in association the school-boy finds companions to mingle in his youthful sports , and to participate in the

      pleasures of his mirthful play ; and it is upon the same principle that patriots blend their thoughts in mutual friendship , and concoct plans for the . diffusion of general good , and emancipation of their suffering and oppressed fellow-men . This great principle is beginning to exhibit itself ina most striking and prominent manner in the transactions of working men ; in fact , it is one of the mo > t remarkable and characteristic circumstances . of -the ^ present age : it is the energy with which . the prin . ciple of combination , or action of general forces , by associated numbers , is manifested . : It iiiay be said , without exaggeration ; that every important and beneficial object is procured by union of effort .- If

      men want to crush one set of opinions and raise up another , they form societies ; if they want to supersede the old . tedious and irksome stage- ; waggon mode of travelling by the introduction of ; steam and railway conveniences , they form societies ; if they desire to promote the principles of peace and overthrow the abominations of war , they form societies j if men desire to establish commerce and friendly intercourse with men of every nation , they arrange and concentrate their energies , and so carry their object ; if they wish to abolish old and corrupt institutions and bad laws , they associate their means in the most prompt and effectual manner . Nothing can be accomplished without association .

      Union gives efficiency to our efforts , and stamps with triumph our operations for general good . Such is the spirit of the present age with regard to the formation of societies ; while the facilities for the successful attainment of the objects of . organized bodies are easy of access , and with the . rapidity of lightning open and give us communication with our fellow-men . It is by means of the printing press—the penny postage—the railway conveniences , and steam navigation , that give the patriot and philanthropist the most ready means of communicating their thoughts to kindred minds , though separated by the four quarters of the globe , and

      enables them to devise plans to realise their pur . poses , and by the same means advocate those plans and move to unanimity of action the masses of the people , with the precision and exactness of a disciplined army . It is by union that men accomplish wonders , and without union nothing of importance or of any advantage can be effected . It was union and co-operation that called into existence the East India Company , and which has subsequently stamped it with such success , and , with a power that rules the destinies of nations , keeps in awe princes and sovereigns ; ' and makes the boundless ocean minister to their personal advantage , and the preservation of their individual interests .

      It was this same principle that called into practical operation the salutary and benevolent institutions and friendly societies which work so beneficially , in affording mutual assistance to the disabled and infirm , and by that means effectually preventing a mass of suffering and distress , -. which would otherwise inevitably fall upon the surviving friends of the deceased members of such institutions . In fact , it was the same great principle that effected the emancipation of the West-India slaves—tbat passed the Reform Bill—that procured the

      restoration of the Dorchester Labourers—and that repealed the Corn Laws ; and it will be the same principle , when applied upon a national scale , that will entirely effect the redemption and emancipation ofthe working classes , and successfully restore Labour's rights and privileges , and place men in a position of becoming each other ' s benefactors aud . friends , instead of being disorganised competitors in the labour market , awfully underrating the price of indu 5 try , to the destruction of all that is good and useful to the working bees .

      But a better and more cheering era is dawning upon us that dense cloud of ignorance and prejudice that has so long enveloped the masses in impenetrable darkness , and hostile isolation is now being swept away by the strong tide of general combination , and amalgamation ofthe industrious classes . In urging on this current we exult and glory , and congratulate our friends in co-operation upon the auspicious aspect that presents itself , and the unprecedented success that has attended our operations ; and already do we imagine that we hear the rumbling of the chariot of emancipation in the distance , and sending forth its harbingers of peace and triumph , to prepare the " care-worn sous of toil " to be ready to sing , with real joy and unmixed truth ,

      " Britons now no more are slaves > while the reverberating hills shall echo back the motto , " In Union ye are strong . " To impress the working classes with the necessity of forming themselves into parts of the National Association , we need not adduce many arguments . That union is necessary , is apparent from the fact that if we were so inclined we cannot do without associating together . Two men will naturally organise their joint power to perform that which , individually and separately , they could not possibly effect ; arid it is further attested from the fact , that what two men in a trade cannot realise themselves ,

      the entire trade may become formidable by uniting their energies , and accomplish that with ease which would have sunk the two in sad and hopeless despair . If two , thenfore , are stronger than one , twenty are stronger than two ; and an entire trade is in a much better and prouder position when properly united than what it would be , if it were only partially so . And , by the same process of reasoning , we say , that the aggregate masses of working men in this country would be iu a more commanding end noble position , if they would but organise their bodies , and concentrate their sectional energies , into one vast and powerful association , than what they ever possibly

      can be while they continue to suffer a merely , local Society to absorb its own strength in unprofitable labours . For who cannot perceive , that that whick would crush the operations of one trade singly , would itself be overwhelmed hy the spontaneous power of the National Combination being brought to bear on the behalf of such a tradej without the Association sustaining even the slightest abatement of its own internal strength ? Then let the trades unite together , and , by their associated means , create a power that will enable them effectually to withstand any aggression that may in future be attempted upon the rights oi Industry .

      CARD OF TIIE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . This rapidly extending Association , which has just held its third annual Conference , and oi which a Member of Parliament is che President , in the person off . S . Buncombe , Esq ., lias lately issued a highly characteristic card of membership . The excellent likeness ofthe well-working—well-deserving , and well-inclined Progressionist chieftain , is made the prominent feature ofthe engraving , —situated in the centre , and being immediately surrounded by a frame-work of knotted flowers , or rather of the rose of England , thistle of Scotland , and the shamrock of Ireland , so wrought together , that the admixture thus formed seems truly a wreath worked frpm the riehest garniture of our gardens ; its windmill , beehive , and a sheaf of corn placed in the foreground , at the bottom of the wreath , and intercepting tho view of the lower portion of the breast of this figure .

      The top of the card is simply headed " National Association , " and at the bottom is the remainder of the sentence , " of United Trades . " And very appropriately too has this main epithet been employed , for truly no association can so justly be entitled to be called " National" as that wherein Labour , its deservance , and its rights , as affecting tho great masses of society , is concerned . A balloon taking its wondrous journey through the high and boundless firmament is soen en the left , underline first portion of tho writing mentioned ; and immediately below this again the equally wondrous and Still more manageable , and therefore more useful , railway train , is dashing a ' ong , in its spaceside to these

      defyinc route . On the right , opposite , i are two figurationsof thetrave'lers ot thewide oceaa , the one that of a ship , to be propelled by the power ofthe strong wind , which is just aboutto bei launched into its watery element , and the other that ol a steam-vessel actually making j tsfar-purposed voyage , with its fire-fed pipe in lull play , and the wrathtuly opposing current wholly unable to keep back the strong onward push of the never-ceasing pat ' tiewheel And now come the " working bees" themselves , im a series of cleverly executed representations of various manual employments . Here , conspicuously , at the top of the outer department ot the engraving , a pair of sturdy blacksmiths are observed to be labouring at their wonted vocationi the one holding

      tho heated iron , and theother the skilful hammerer ; and here , on the right , the ship-builder is next to be seen , and then in downward succession the sawyer , the plasterer oh his ladder , the hatUr , the painter with his easel , the cooper finishing off his wine-cask , . tho shoemaker—who , by-the-bye , is made to sit on much too high a stool—the pressman , who is shown affixing the white sheet of paper against the tympan , which in the next moment is to come off , freighted with its beautiful typical impression of , perhaps , some glorious piece of poetry or i-t ? I ? e PniIos ° Pny . or any other noble or useful exhibition of the intelligence of either the past or the present . And , then , close to this last-mentioned workman is another of our great enlighteners , the maker of candles ; ay , the greasy tallow worker ! as tip is here seen looking anxiously at the character his

      or '' last dip , " and dreaming probably the while of the inestimable use these articles of his handicraft will be to the midnight . * 8 tudent , or during the watchful though holy services of affection , as employed in the lonely seclusion of the chamber of sickness . That indispensable artisan , in the way of our culinarv warits , the tin-smith , next appears ; then the clean-aproned carpenter planing busily at his bench , and after him ( having now arived at the bottom , ) the engineer , or engine-maker , is particularly worthy of notice , standing before you unc ° ated ! » Ke a most noble hand of Industry as he is , and with his left arm resting , as conscious of tho true dignity of his achievements , in the firm comparted boiler , which , when filled With its mighty agency , is to pour along almost as swift as the driver pleaseth those extraordinary locomotive machines which have n « w , by their very commonness , become no longer » name . -

      A spare apparelled tailor , as we now ' begin in our visual route to ascend the other , side , in depicted as offering his outstretched pattern-sheet to the eye , placed to one side of whom is the body-bent morocco leather finisher , while next above sits the weaver j higher still , and considerably in tho distance a newsman ofthe old fashion , with trumpet at mouth , and bundle of papers under his arm , is proclaiming the "just arrived " novelties of his occupation ; while next is to be seen the quietly employed basket-maker ^ and perhaps a poet too , as well , like his once

      fellowworkman , Thomas Miller . Another phase of the printing profession is next observed , he who at those windlass-like spokes is turning a lithographic machine ; the remaining figures being a bricklayer ; stonecutter , and wheelwright , with three other representations , where . 'the occupations are not to be so distinctly made out as to warrant one in giving ttiem an assured naming . This , however , may not be in reality so much a fault as it may seem just , as it would be difficult to show in a picture the difference between the pointing of a needle and the pointing of a pin . J . D . D ;

      The Central Committee ofthe . above flourishing institution met on Monday last , T . S . Buncombe , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair , for the'tranroctiiin of general business . The minutes were read and coilfirmed , also an immense mass of correspondence from all parts ofthe kingdom , and the ;' following reports received fromthe different agents and members of the central committee—Mr ^ otoon ; . of the central committee , reported that on Tuesday ; June 15 th , he attended a public meeting of the Sheffield table knife hafc makers . Mr William Haigh ' occupied the chair , and in opening the business'said , ' all . present would be aware that for some / time past there had . been considerable agitation in the towh . ' ' to whether it

      would be advisable for the '' trade ? of Sheffield to cooperate with the National Association .. The chairman said , as Mr Robson from the central committee was present , he should not occupy their attention , but exhort them to weigh well its constitution ; and to examine it in all its bearings . The chairman then introduced Mr Robson , who was received with applause , lie said it gave him much pleasure to meet the men ' of Sheffield , when he considered that from this spot emanated the great National Association which he represented . He could not forget that Mr Drury , whom they all know , was the persoV who first suggested the formation of thiB ' asBOCiatton in his correspondence with Mr T . Duncorab ' eVttie membar for Finsbury . And he remembered the

      circumstance which called for that cerrespondehce—it , was an attempt on the part of ministers' to introduce a bill , called the Masters' and Servants' Bill—a mea . sure the most insidious , that ever ' Was ' concocted . Mr Robson went on toshowthe progress - ' the association had made since their first conference , tho present numerical strength , and the future prospects of the society . He said he need hot Say much oh the principles of unions . ' Did they not throw their pence into one fund to protect a ' particular branch of trade , because a man could not stiind against the capitalist by himself ? Were hot these unions iiitended to' protect the-, working classes against any attempt to . interfere with their privileges ? They might be ' a ' ssiire'd it wa ' s by the amount

      of respect ; they- Ma for themselves that the masters would respect them . He did not wish to denounce their employers for there were bad and gonid in their class , as well as the class he was addressing . lie would have them show tbat they were bound together toprotect the honcstly-disposed ' of the'rflaster ' olassjas well as themselves . Mr Robson then ^ dceeded to shew tho manner in which the National Association cohducte . l the movements of emancipation ; that the way they " acted was to give employment to ' rndn , instead of paying away the funds , in giving stfpport to men to ' walk about d > ing nothing , and ^ s it appeared to him ( Mr Kobson ) they were perfectly and' absolutely independent of that class , arid were capable of becoming capitalists

      themselves , by sayiDjjl tothe masters , ; -. " If you do not want our labour , we will employ : ourselves . " Mr Robson then directed attention to the system of overtime working , which be said , if it would take 100 men 10 hours a-day to do a certain piece of work , it would require 150 men to do it working 8 hours a-tlay . This system would cfo something towards absorbing tho surplus labour . ; If the trades' unions of this country did but know their own position , they would set their faces against the principle of overtime working to the greatest extent . Mr Robson concluded by saying he could foresee the day when they would carry out these grand : and ennobling objects , and when they should summon Mr Duncombo to

      Sheffield to lay the'first stone of a noble edifice of their own erection ,-worthy of the common'cause they should have brought to such a successful termination . Nothing would strike such terror into the evil hearts of evil employers as this consummation ; and nothing would give so much joy to . those who wished well to the working men . In conclusion , he begged that they would put to-him any questions ; upon any point , respecting which further information was desired . After the lecture a great number of very important questions . were asked , which appeared to be very satisfactorily answered . A vote o ( thanks to the speaker ' was given by acclamation , and tho public business of the meeting concluded ..

      MrMaitland of the Potteries attended a meeting of the sewing silk twisters , which took place in the TeWp ^ WnCe . Hall , Leek , to take into consideration theproi > riety of that important body of men ' cotoe & ro ^ tbe National Trades ' Assooistioti . Nfr Gatfori / an intelligent working man , was called ^ to the cha 1 tyand \ after some very appropnato ' remarks , iritrodueed Mr Nixon , ' the secretary for the' trades' local affairtf / whoread over the past a * ceolint 8 V which ^ gave gre « t-satisfaction to all who were presents He also urged the meeting to Join the United Trades , as tbeitf o »] yt « afety ; for , said the speaker , I see nothing else that can oure the evils which afflict the industrious Abuses of this country . Mr Malkin next addressed' the ^ aieeting on the

      necessity ofstrengthening ' . theirposition , and advised them to cast aside every other consideration , and to unite with the masses ; who were determined to free themselves front slavery , degradaitioii and ruin . Several other gentlemen whose names did not transpire also spoke in favour of their trade , giving in their adhesion to . the United Trades . as soon as possible , showing that union is strength , and that the larger the body was which-they ' Connected themselves with , so much stronger would be their own position . The chairman next called on Mr . Maitland , who bad been deputed by the Central Committee to visit them , to explain the principles and objects of the N . T . Association , which he did , ina- very eloquent manner , fie allowed at , great length the superiority of a national combination over all sectional ones . The

      speaker exhibited some samples of goods manufactured by the Association , which produced a thrilling sensation upon the meeting , showing them that the old system of strikes' was abandoned , and the money formerly , paid men for going about idle was spent in tho purchase of material to set them to work for the' Association . ' After a moat stirring appeal to the meeting on behalf of the Trades' Association , t ' . » speaker sat dowu , warmly applauded ; Mr Mountford next addressed-the meeting at' some length , inn , truly energetic manner , and . strongly urged , ' pon them the neoessitylof joining the monster Assos & lion ; after which it was unanimously agreed ta'give in

      their adhesion to tbe society , and to transmit one month's levies immediately . The number at the present time exceeds 300 saembers , awl in a tew weeks there is not the least doubt but that tbey will number 1 , 000 . This meeting has . caused greajt enthusiasm in this town , in favour ofthe consolidated union . Hurrah i ' 6 r tho sewing silk-twisters of Leek , they have taken a step in tbe right direction . N . B . —Those trades who have been supplied with cards are requested to send for their full amount , so that each member may be furnished with one ; and these trades who have received none , must forward their order to the secretary , Mr Hawaii , No . 11 , Tottenham-court-road , London ,

      Messrs Green ai : d Humphries attended a meeting ofthe farriers , Pied Horse , Finsbury-square . The deputation had a lengthened interview with that body . The Committee will take the matter up , It is expected that a public meeting of tbe farriers will take place as early as possible . Messrs Green and Winters attended a meeting of the Society oi Tailors , Wardour-streefc . The interview terminated very satisfactorily . The society expressed their intention of joining the Association , at the same . tirae to continue their connection with their own general body .

      Trades'movements. The Coal Miners'petiti...

      TRADES ' MOVEMENTS . THE COAL MINERS ' PETITION . Tothe Honourable the House of Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , In Pailiament aisumfcled . . The Humble Petition ofthe Colliers whose names are hereunto subscribed , Humbly sheweth ; That your petitioners are colliers , Working in the coal mines in the coal districts of England , Wales , and Scotland .

      That they have seen and heard with great satisfaction that several laws have been passed of late years to better the condition ef working men in different trades , and for their and their children ' s protection and safety from injury and accident ; and to assist in the improvement of their mind and habits . " And your petitioners with great confidence submit to your Honourable-House tbat the colliers have at no time in ho wise been behindhand in honesty , peaceful conduct and-loyalty , and they , therefore , approach your Honourable House in tbe full hope that they will receive from your Honourable House consideration andattention . Tour petitioners believe that much may be done by judicious lnws for the benefit of your petitioners , and' the colliers in general , without wrongbrinjurytd ' anyone . ^

      Yowr petitioners desue to diract the attention of your Honourable Howe te the many deaths continually happening from bad ventilation in the minen , and also to the distressing accidents which still more frequently ocenrfrom thesame cause , and from which your petitioners are put to heavy expenses and loie their work for long periods of time ; but which accidents , unfortunately for your petitioners , do not come before the public , unless they occasion death ; In many ialnee the air courses are not made with sufficient care , nor attended to with sufficient vigilance and caution ; in many the air has to travel too long a distance from ^ tbe down-cast shaft to theup ^ ast shaft ' ; in many there is great negleit by the underlookers and others , whose duty it is to look after tbe mines aud the colliers ; air doors are broken , where

      tbey . ought to be perfect—open , when tbey ought to be sfcut - In sonw cases , »/ ieeis have been hungup insltnd "f doors—and many other neglects occur from over confidence caused by previous freedom from accident . Your petitioners admit that many of your petitioners have been neglectful and over confident ; but they are many of them Very poor , and their position with their mnsteri does hot often allow them to speak freely of ficWi'Snd as they really are ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ « ~ "fha ' t your petitioners have heard , and many of them ( tub * li to be true , that great good has been eftecttd in cotton factories , from the appointment of inspectors , and by the provisions for railing off machinery , and to prevent neglect and accidents , and they submit that some similar plau for the miners would do much in guarding against danger and accident . ¦ ¦ - ' «

      Your petitioners submit to your Honourable House that inspectors should be appointed to . visit all the mines , and that some of these inspectors should be men practicatty acquainted with colliery toorh ; tbat such inspectors should see that accurate maps are made of all the workings in the mines ; that' these' inspectors should grant licences re mines where they consider-that due provision and csr ' e his been used to prevent acciilcnts , and ensure good venHlddan " ; and that without sucbiiconce nomine should' be permitted to work . That penalties of one hendred pounds at the-least should be inflicted in cast of any deviation from the orders of such inspectors , and that such - penalties should be paid half by the landlord , and-halfby the tenant of the mine , and should form a fund for the support of the families of those who die from ex . plosions ; of other accidents in the mines . Your petitioners submit that small fines in these cases are not felt , and are of no use whatever .

      Your petitioners submit to your Honourable House that the appointment of inspectors would not only insure a better system of ventilation , but would / also remove or lessen many other causes of death—such as Roofs Falling— -Water Rushing in—Defective Chaii \ s and Engines : these and many other instnnees of want of due caution would become much less frequent if proper inspectors were appointed to visit the mines , and were invested with sufficient power to enforce a compliance with their directions : such inspectors giving no notice of their Intention'to visit the mines , and at all times going there when they were not expected ..

      Your petitioners have heard that the govercmi-nt of the country have bet'h and are endeavouring to discover some plan by which accidents from bad air may be altogether prevented in mioes . But your petitioners fear that such discovery will be very difficult and dis . tant ; If not altogether beyond tbe power of man . And your petitioners are well aware , and they submit it to your honourable house , that accidents from sudden and unlooked-for accumulations of bad air are not to fre - quent as has been represented , hut that in almost all rases it would appear on inquiry that it was known for some time before that there was bad air and that there was danger . And your petitioners believe from Ions ; observation that for every one accident which could not be foreseen nor guarded against fifty at least happen which might have be » n prevented by proper precaution . And your petitioners belitve that no Iua-s or rtiles that your honourable house could make would ensure good ventilation or prspcr core , unless inspectors were appointed to see such rules and laws attended to .

      Your petitioners hare observed with much satisfaction the laws compelling the masters in factories to provide some amount of education for the children nho work there , and your petitioners snrmit to yur honourable house tbat a similar plan would be of great use to the children of colliers . Unless your honourable house assist your petitioners in carrying out this their wish , that their children may be educated , not one in a httn- ' redof the gen' -ratlon of colliers now growing up ' . "ill be able to write or read . As the colliers are placed —and your honourable house will , on consideration , see the truth of this assertion—the difficulty of obtaining education for their children is much neater than ever it was for the parents of factory children .

      Your petitioners inform your honourable house chat many accidents occur in the mines from persons- heinj entrusted with the care of the engines who have served no regular apprenticeship and are incompetent for the work . Your petitioners submit that no person ought to be so entrusted until ho has served a regular apprenticeship of at least three years , and is twenty-one years of ape , arid has been examined by an inspector and received a certificate of his being fully qualified—many valuable lire * would be saved if a law tveio made to this ( ffect .

      Your petitioners submit to your , honourable house i that a public registry should be kept of the owners and j ' enants of all mints , and that before a mine is licensed ,, such owners and tenants should sign a dsclaration thut they would do all in their power , to enforce the laws for the good management of their mines , and the protection ! of tho lives ofthe colliers;—and that they would attend ! at all times and give evidence and information w ! ien < required by the inspectors or by magistrates . At prasent in'cases of complaint , it frequently . happBtis thai no one knows who is the proper and uesponslblu pers « i > to apply to .

      Your petitioners ask your Honouirable House to . inquire into the Truck System , and the manner in wUiab the law made for the purpose of putting down that systern is evaded . ' Many colliers'in Scotland and in o « i * r parts arc , by various ingenious contrivances , comyeaed to submit to this system , and caanot protect tlwxuxlrei trom it . And your petitioners submit Hint , t person offmdinp " against the laws for the abolition of trui-k ,, Biii . 'ht to be tried as a criminal ,. aud , punished with a . dsffrading punishment ; imd not sti 3 ered to be dischaaged on paying a fine .

      UNITED PATRIOTS' AND PATRIARCHS ' BENEFIT SOCIETIES .

      The anniversary of these institutions was cele . brate ' dby a dinner and ball , at the Old Bayswater Tavern , Bayswater , on Monday , 21 st jnst . The dinner was served up in a style that did the hos great credit , and was done ample justice to by a goodl number of the members , their wives , and friends A splendid band , and some well-sung songs , added much to the enjoyment of the company . After dinner , Luke Jamzs Hansard , Esq ., who had kindly undertaken the office 0 f Chairman , rose and said - Ladies and Gentlemen , —It gives me great pleasure to find yon engaged in promoting your own

      welfare of yonr own accord , -without the assistance of donations or subscriptions from others , thereby sustaining your own self-respect , and keeping you from the union bastile . The worthy chairman having alluded to the benefits that would accrue to society , if the rich and poor were to unite in some grand benevolent institution , concluded by saying that he felt delighted to see patriots and patriarchsthe young and the aged—banded together for mutual benefit and assistance . He begged to propose— " The United Patriots' and Patriarchs' Benefit Societies—may they prosper , and be to their members as heretofore , a friend and support in times of sickness and adversity . "

      Mr Payne , in a speech in wbfeli he highly com- , plimented the general secretary , proposed : — " The . healths of the General Secretary , the Agents , Assistants , and Country Members of the Societies . " Mr Rt / KFV , the general secretary , said , In rising to return my sincere thanks for the high honour you have been pleased to confer on me , I cannot , in truth , find words to express my feelings . This day . I have to render to you an account of my stewardship in managing your affairs ; this day I stand upon my trial , and you have to decide whether or not I am worthy of the situation I hold . The annual statement has been sent to each of you ; you haver had time to examine and judge for yourselves , and if there is anything wrong , anything requiring

      explanation , anything you do not approve , or anything you think requires amendment , I am here to-day to put you , or . to be put by you right . We have also agents with us to-day from different parts ofthe kingdom who can hear , see and judge for themselves ; The annual statements must be a source of gratificai tion to all , they afford the clearest proof of what can , be accomplished by union . We are united for a social purpose ^ not for any purpose that can wound ; the feelings of any one . We wish not to interfere with , the creed , views , or opinions of any one , but we are united for the purpose of helping ourselves , securing independence , and providing for the widow and orphan . We have expended for sickness and superannuation during the past year in the Patriots' Society £ 553 6 s . lid ., for funerals £ 119 16 s . 8 d ., lyings-m £ 204 , loss by fire £ 7 , making a total of £ 884 3 s , 7 d .,

      having also during the year added £ 442 4 s . 7 d . to the capital stock of the society . In the Patriarchs ' Society we have also in the course of one short year founded £ 4517 s . Id ., after making payments of sums for sickness and funerals . These are the fruits of union , and prove to us what maybe accomplished by brotherly love and unity . I am happy to say that these societies are becoming known and appreciated in most parts of the united kingdom . Our estimable chairman , whose name is connected with almost every institution having the objects of benevolence and charity in view , has kindly consented to become one of the patrons of our societies , and more than that he has spontaneously given his word for £ 10 towards forming a fund for the widows- and orphans . It is highly pleasing to find that our objects areapproved of by gentlemen of the high standing and experience of our worthy chairman . ,

      Jfr K . T . Pook , the agent for tbe societies at Portsea , delivered a speech , in the course of which be expressed the unalloyed satisfaction of himself and brother mem . bers with tbelabours of the generolsecretsry . Mr HiBVEr proposed the health of ilr Scorge Bird and the medical gentlemen connected with the institution , and expressed the high opinion he entertained in , common with all tbe London members of Mr Bird , and of the very satisfactory manner in' which he had die . charged his duty to the societies . ilr Biap said , I have to thank Mr Harvey for the kind terms in which he has been pleased to propose mj health , and you , ladies and gentlemen , for the cordial response you have given to It , which , I presume , I may interpret into a vote of confidence in my professional services ; The Chinese , whom , perhaps , we are too . pcone to hold fn contempt , among many excellent social ! regulations havei this—that they remunerate their medical attendants not as we do , in proportion to the amount of sickness , but ia

      proportion to the amount of health . In . some respects , certainly , they are justified in calling us bar . barians ; and we might with advantage impart some of their customs su well as their congou . An approximation to the principle I httVO glaneed at will be made in the Health of Towns' Bill now before Parliament—a bill , which II hesitate not to say , considered in its economical , sosial ; and nigral relatioas , is infinitely moro . important than , any bill which has engaged the attention ot the legislature within the memory of man . By this bill medical , inspectors of tho public health will be appointed , armed with considerable powers , whose functicas it will he to reduce , if not to ex . tevoJinate tbe physical ; causes of disease , and you will admit it is far better , to prevent than- to ' cure it . I am list in the position of an old doctor , of whom I have h « ard , who was more scrupulous than polite , and who , instead of drinking people's health , was accustomed , in . » tead , to sa ; , "My service toyoul ^ ffnlike him , I can sonscientiously , and do sincerely wish you all health

      and h » vP - Mr Howell proposed " The health of the Sub-trea . surers , Directors and Stewards , "" ta . which Mr Smith neatly replied . The health of Ihe chairman , and'o ? the patrons , T . S . Punrombe , Esq ,, M . P ., and T . W & kley , Esq ., M . P ., was proposed hy Mr Bird , who highly eulogined those gentlemen . Tlw toast . vas drao = k with acclamation . ' Mr Hansard ,, returned thanks , and said hU life was devoted to tha service of the working class , and ever would be , because tbey were a suffering and a wronged class After ,-many eloquent and . feeling remarks , ho thanked the meeting heartily , for . the manner in which tbey had expressed their regart foe him . Mr Howiia in a very pretty ,-manner proposed "Tho Ladies . "

      Mr RuFfii , proposed— " Liberty of the Press , and the Liberal Press .
