      ^^ Ttt hichisbronghtout by these returns . * hold Suffrage would give us 3 , 675 , 451 # 0 ° ja respect of household occupation . Sesealarge number of lodgers may be * £ & of a certain class , making in all four % Km » in round nambers . The totalnmuber itale inhabitants is 10 , 184 , 687 , of whom Lsiderably more than one-half are under twenty -one vearsofage . The difference between rnirersal and Household Suffrage would , therefore , not be more than one million of l otes These facts present a twofold

      infenee first that it is scarcely worth while for ^ ufhVe Kefonners to quarrel with each other * " i jjtt ^ rly , or to hold aloof from each others movements , where the difference is so trifling . Second , that if * e had a Government and legi slature prepared to concede Household cjjfrage , it would scarcely be eitherjustifiable oi graceful to make such an iuvidions distinction as to leave so small a numher out of tbe pale of the constitution .

      FOREIGN . After every effort has been made to produce the appearance of a pnblic feeling against the Constitution in France , the result is a total failure . An examination of the petitions presented np to this time shows that the aggregate of signatures from fifty of the eightythree departments in favour of a prolongation of the Pkesidest ' s powers , amounts to only 10 , 160 . The signatures in favour of revision end prolongation are 1 & L 431 . Those for ample revision 256 , 664 ; forming an aggregate

      of £ 451 , 255 of all shades of opinions against the existing state of things . The ConslitutUmnel promised a million signatures in favour of a prolongation of the Pbksidekt ' s powerthere are less than 200 , 000 for the man who was elected by 6000 , 000 of votes , and who afterwards ungratefully disfranchised 3000 , 000 of the people who thus elevated him from obfeearityandpoverty , toadisdnguished position . There can be no mistake as to this expression of public feeling , for the prefect of each department is entirely at the bidding of the

      Minister for the time being , and all the emissaries of the police have been employed for the last six weeks , in hawking petitions from door to door . Taie these employes at 500 , 000 , and it will be seen their exertions have not been very successful . If the other thirty-six departments send no more names in proportion , it will only he about a signature and a half for each of them ! We niay conclude , therefore , that the Republic is safe , despite the anxiety of the various classes of conspirators for its destruction ,

      and as for Lotus Napoleon , he had better think about re-engaging bis lodgings In London . His treachery in consenting to the disfranchising act of May will never be either forgiven or forgotten by the French people ; one immediate effect of tbe Email number of signatures has been to render the reactionary majority more guarded in their propositions . Had the nambers been greater , they would have hazarded an

      appeal to force ; as it ia , they now talk of acting in accordance with the constitution . In the Papal States , things are going from bad to worse ; aud in Germany ihe Crowned Heads are busily gathering together materials for a grand explosion . Everywhere despotism is treasuring up " wrath for the day of wrath' * irith the single exception of Belgium , where we have the extraordinary phenomenon of a king who honestly accepts and acts upon the Constitution of which he has sworn to be the faithful

      administrator , and where , in consequence , ruler and people are mutually pleased with each other . If kings were not mad , what an excellent lesson is here !

      DISGRACEFUL MILITARY OUTRAGES IN ED 15 BURGH , On Sunday , and again on Tuesday , most unseemly disturbances were occasioned in Edinburgh by soldiers belonging to the 33 rd Kegimeat , at present ; quartered there . On Monday two of the men were sentenced each to sixty day ' s imprisonment for having wantonly assaulted several persona on the previous evening . On Tuesday night , iowever , the rioting was renewed . About nine o ' clock , front tea to a dozen soldiers wilfully broke a pane of glass in a shop window , when an affray took place between them and tbe police , tbe latter being assisted by the citizens , while

      ihe strength of the former was increased by the picquet who joined their comrades . Iu tbe scuffle tbe police and inhabitants were repeatedly knocked down , and a number of soldiers were also severely injured . A sergeant and nine privates are imprisoned in the police-office ; and is is expected that a ? many more will be in custody in the Castle . On Wednesday , fourteen soldiers were brought up in custody at the Edinburgh police office , when they were remitted to a higher court . The prisoners were then removed from the bar , and hortly after conveyed in the prison van to the Cilton prison .

      FACTS AND INCIDENTS OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION On Saturday ft * numbers did not exceed 12 , 000 . The receinta wef e-se-ison-tickets , £ 3312 s . ; at the doors . £ 1674 10 ;—to at receipts , £ 1 , 108 2 * . On Monday 67 . 555 persons visited the Crystal Palace , aud £ 3 , 016 lis . was the amount taken at the doors . Another change has been made in the number VsA disposition of the jets of gas displaying the refractive qualities of the Koh-Mioor . All the mirrors placed around the cushion have been removed , and twelve gas lights now surround the gem . The new arrangements prove as vain as those which preceded them , and this famous diamond is becoming as troublesome as it is useless .

      Among the presents sent to her Majesty from the Maharajah of Travancore is a model of tbe great gun of Bijahpore , made of the celebrated Abmudnugger brass , one of the historical idols of the Indians , who for a long time believed it to be invincible . The original weighs forty-two tons , and is worked by a circular racket wheel . The Italian compartment has been enriched by the arrival of several packages . In a glass case , in the interior , one of these recent importations bas just been displayed . It is a robe of what is termed pina , muslin , made of thread from the fibres of the pine apple . It is exquisitely fine , resembling India muslin , and the embroidery is worked entirely by the hand of a Signora Sfargarita , of Manilla . .

      Two new and remarkable contributions have just been made to the collection in Hyde-park ; one of these is a magnificent dressing-case from Buckingham Palace , which bas not yet been uncovered ; the other is an immense black diamond in the rough state , from Babiri , contributed by Mr . Joseph Mayer , of Liverpool , flo hard that it has hitherto defied the lapidaries to polish it , and weighing 350 On Tuesday the number of visitors were above G 2 . 0 Q 0 , leafing out of the account the holders of season tickets . The receipt- * were ' . —Season tickets , £ 1515 s . ; At the doors , £ 3 , lSo 12 s ; Total receipts , £ 3 . 202 7 s .

      During Tuesday some experiments were made with Banley ' s Magneto-Electric Telegraph , from one side of the Serpentine to the other , near to the Kensington Gardens Bridge , under the inspection of the following mem bers of the jury of Class 10 - Sir John Heruchel . Baron Seqoier , Professor Schubarlt , Professor Potter , Mr . Glaisher , Professor Quitelet , The followiner are given as tbe result of tne examination of thelnstruments : —1 st experiment . Two lengths of gutta percha covered wire were taken across and immersed in the water , and connected to the instrument , each length of wire had a portion of the gutta percha cut away irom the wire , the wire well scraped to a bright surface , and allowed to remain in the water . The

      instruments worked well through the attractive power of the water . 2 nd . The water not having taken the expected effect of deviating the course of electricity , one length of wire was cut in two , and along length of uncovered bright wire was inserted in between , and again let fall into the water . Tbe instruments again worked well . 3 rd experiment : The wire was again cut asunder , and each end let fall into the water 3 distance apart from each other , whereby the circuit bad to be made complete through the water intervening betwet n the ends of the wire : even through this defective insulation the instruments worked to tbe greatest satisfaction . 4 th experiment : A greater quantity of the gutta percha insulation was taken from off the wire ,

      which bad not been cut , and the instruments continuing to work well , a correspondence was then commenced and kept up for half an hour , from one side of the Serpentine to the other , between Mr . Dobson and the gentleman that was with him . Henley's telegraph professes to dispense with the cost and inconvenience of chemical repairs and superintendence involved in the use of voltaic batteries , and to transmit tbe current much further than telegraphs worked by their means . It is further stated that tbe needles never move sluggishly when worked from a distance , but move as rapidly through 500 miles as one mile . It is also said by its construction to be exempted from liability to derangement by lightning . Emfwtjehs a . vd their WORKMEN . —Messrs . Smith and Son , the coal merchants , on Tuesday gave the

      clerks , coalbeavers , and other persons in their employment , upwards of 200 in number , a days holiday to see the Great Exhibition , paying their admission fee , and providing refreshments , conveyances , and supper in the evening for them . Messrs . Hodges , the distillers , have given the whole of the men in their employment a day ' s holiday , in order to enable tfcem to visit the Exhibition in Hyde-park . Each man has likewise been presented with five shillings to defray the day's expenses . Mr . Pusey yesterday brought up the agricultural labourers on his estate . They were : — From Pusey , fifty-nine ; Longwortb , thirty-nine ; West Hanney , forty ; East llanney , sixty-four ; Denchworth , thirty-five ; Tyford , seven ; Charney , forty-one ; Chatfow , twenty-seven ; Stamford , ninety-three ; Hralford , forty;—total , 445 .

      The number of visitors on Wednesday was less by 10 , 000 people than on the previous day , being 5 S . 445 , and the receipts at the doors in consequence fell to 2 , 605 18 s . On Wednesday the boys of Christ ' s Hospital , to the number of 800 or 900 , visited the Building , and there were other charities among them—the Jews ' Orphan Asylum , and tbe children of Miss Burdett Courts' school , whom that benevolent lady accompanied durine their stay . On Wednesday a number of jolly tars were seen making short tacks in every direction , and eating ices and drinking ginger beer in desperation , in the absence of more congenial refreshment . These were the crew of the Victoria and Albert , her Majesty ' s steam yacht , and their smart trim and sailor-like appearance gave great vivacity to the

      picture of which they formed a part . The heat was oppressive throughout the day , and the various fountains were almost drained of their contents by the thirsty visitors . It would be very desirable that something should he done to increase the supply of fresh air before the advent of the dog-days . The machinery-in-motion room was as usually folly attended , but an accident which had nearly produced fatal results , caused great excitement at one period of the day , and tended very much to disturb the enjoyment of its visitors . One ofitsmosfccoaspiruousffc-sturesistbe large sugar mill , sent in by Messrs . Robinson and Russell , of MiUmall . 'While this powerful machine was in full work , a labourer ascended for tbe purpose of oiling the governing wheel , and incautiously approaching too near , his smockfrock was caught by tbe cogs , and in two revolutions of tbe whi els his clothes

      were torn from his body , and drawn round the axles . He shouted loudly to the bystanders to shut oh ? the steam , bnt no one understood the method , and another moment would have reduced the unfortunate man to a mangled mass , when , providentially , one of tbe policeman on duty ( A 393 ) came np , and nnderetanding his words , or rather his gestures , for he was well nigh exhausted , shut off tbe steam , and rescued him from a terribiedeatb . For afew moments the excitement wasdreadtul , the room being lull of company , and every one being able to see the poor man's critical position , from the altitude at which he stood . One member of the executive committee was so much affected by his exertions to have the steam

      shut off , and bis alarm for the poor man , as to become seriously indisposed , and was obliged to leave immediately for his own residence . This is the second accident which has occurred within a very short period in the moving machinery room ; and really , when one enters , and finds oneself completely surrounded by wheels of all sizes in swift motion , and eees crowds of women and children peering anxiously over the low railing , and almost touching the moving bodies , it becomes a matter of surprise tbat mischances are not of more frequent occurrence . It is to be hoped thatevery possible precaution will be taken to preserve the lives and limbs of the " exhibitors and the pnblic . The Lords of the Treasury have , at the request

      of the Board of Ordnance , sanctioned the delivery from the Great Exhibition building of twenty-five American revolving pistols for the service of the officers of a regiment under orders for the Cape . On Thursday tbe receipts and the number of visitors again suffered a slight decline , the former being £ 2 , 722 10 =.., and the latter 57 , 781 . The heat of the weather , great as it was out of the building , was still more oppressive within , and , in consequence of the inconvenience experienced , vre understand tbat it is determined to remove the inside glazing at the eastern and western entrances , and to endeavour in this way to secure a refreshing thorough draught from end to end of the interior .-This will be an immense relief to visitors , if successfully carried out .

      On Friday the numbers admitted were 29 , 033 , aud the receipts were :-Season tickets , £ 4 4 s At the doors , £ 2 , 9696 s . ; Total receipts , £ 2 , 97310 s !

      The Liberation of Kossoth . —A large and influential meeting of tbe inhabitants of the Staffordshire Potteries was held in the HanleyTown-hall , on Tuesday evening , for the purpose of memorialising Lord Paimerston " to continue to use bis good offices on behalf of Kossuth and his fellow captives , at Kutayab . " Tbe chair was taken by Francis Wedgwood , Esq ., of Etroria , a well-known manufacturer . Several resolutions expressive of the sympathy of the meeting with the Hungarians were pas-ed unanimously , and a memorial to Lord Paimerston was directed to he drawn up , and forwarded to J . L . Rieardo , Esq ., one of the borough members , for presentation . Four of the Refugees now m England were present ou the platform , and were received with strongly marked expression * of regard and sympathy . Tbm population of South Australia , according to the Census just taken , is about sixty-four thoaiand .

      The Liberation Of Kossoth.—A Large And I...

      AWUuaifiU CONFLAGRATION IN SOUTH WARE . One of tbe most fearful conflagrations that has bfifih witnessed in the metropolis since the fire at the Tower of London , broke out on Monday afternoon at about half-past three o ' clock , at Montagueclose , Southwavk , known as Humphrey ' s warehouses , near to London-bridge , and running parallel with the river . The premises consist of a block of warehouses , extending the whole length of ihe street , and abutting on to the northern side of St . Saviour's Church .

      The fire originated in tbe second story of the warehouse on the east end of the range , which was used for the joint purpose of a rag , hop , cheese , and provision warehouse . At about the time mentioned smoke was observed issuing from the second floor of this tier of warehouses , which ia six stories in height . An alarm was raised , and the fire-engines were soon -n the spot . The firemen threw copious streams of water upon it from engines in Montagueclose , in St . Saviour ' s-passage , and from the church-yard , but apparently without the slightest effect , for the flames continued to rage with uncontrolled fury , until at last tbe entire building , with its six stories , -vas one entire body of fire , and the roof shortly after being burnt through it fell

      down with a tremendous crash , the burning embers falling in showers in all directions . In consequence of the great heat at the back the fire eomimmicnted to the roof of tbe adjourningwarelionses in tbe occupation of Messrs . Wiggins , "White , and Co ., hopfactors and warehousemen , and soon begun to make progress downwards , and in a very short space of time they were completely gutted , nearly the whole of the contents being consumed . After these two immense piles of buildings had been in a great measure burnt out , the flames were got completely under , and it was believed that any fears of a further extension of the fire was at an end , and so satisfied were most of the parties concerned , that neither in tho third or fourth . warehouses , although

      fully stocked with an immense quantity of hops , cheese , lard ,, bacon , « fcc , in the warehouses , and several thousand gallons of oil in the cellars , did they make any effort to remove the property for tbe purpose of safety . Between seven and eight o ' clock , however , the fourth warehouse in the occupation of Messrs' Wigavv awl Ct >„ had also taken fire at the back part of tbe roof , which soon revealed itself in a fearful body of flame bursting out of the front part of the premises , and so suddenly was it that a fireman , who was standing oh the top of the wall with a hose directed to a certain part , had nearly fallen a victim to the devouring element . However , he made a precipitate retreat , and escaped uninjured . The greatest excitement revailed

      p now in endeavouring to save all the property possible , and bags of hops and bales of bacon were thrown out in the greatest disorder . The flames extended , as in the case of the second warehouse , in a downward direction , and not manv minutes had elapsed before it became evident tha ' this building was also doomed to the same fate , and the fire now reached the western extreme , and passed upwards in a southerly direction towards St . Saviour s Church . This singular direction of the fire in passing from the second to the fourth building , leaving the third for a time completely uninured , was looked upon as a very extraordinary occurrence , and opinions were freely hmYviea that it was not the result of an accidentbut was the

      , work of an incendiary . The firemen persevered in their efforts to restrain tho fire ; but while so engaged , and when the fourth building was about half consumed , the fire began to show itself in the third warehouse that had hitherto remained unscathed , although completely surrounded ; ' and hero a fresh scene of the greatest confusion prevailed . Every hand that could be obtained was at once called into requisition , and the men boldly entered the premises , and at the imminent peril of their lives began to discharge into the streets pockets of hops by hundreds , bales of bacon , and other articles of an inflammable description ; and nothing could exceed the alacrity which they displayed m their endeavours to save the nronertv .

      The premises were in tbe occupation of Messrs . Allen ,-Anderson , and Co . ; and it is believed that they contained not less than 10 , 000 pockets of hops , besides several floors being loaded with every description of provisions . The flames , now joined by a new and powerful adjunct , rose with fearful rapidity , and the evening approaching , they showed forth with a vividness that presented a scene of grandeur . The outlines of the noble church of St Saviour were most distinctly defined , and the reflection was seen at a considerable distance with a clearness almost approaching to noon-day . "With the exception of the third building thus alluded to , the whole of this extensive and valuable range , and a great portion of their valuable contents , fell a to the flames

      prey , and the loss of property must be immense , an approximate amount of which caaaot at present be even guessed at . " Shortly after eight o ' clock one of tho firemen was so severely burned that he was conveyed to the hospital for assistance . Up to one o ' clock on Tuesday morning the premises of Messrs . Wigan and Co ., continued to vomit forth immense volumes of flame , and as the body of the fire reached the lower part of the building a fresh impetus appeared to be given to it at short intervals It is believed by many to arise from the fact of the fire having extended itself to the oil in the vaults , for the water thrown upon it appears not to have "the slightest effect in checking its ravages . .

      TUHTUER PARTICULARS . For hours after the period above-mentioned huge bodies of flame kept ascending from the ruins . The whole of the brigade force continued their exertions , with little cessation , until seven o ' clock ; and it was not until that hour that the firemen had secured the preservation of the third or 0 warehouse , which escaped , it may be Said , almost untouched . During the remainder of the morning , and , indeed , throughout the entire day , the two large floating engines , with several land ones , ' were kept in busy action , throwing a vast quantity of water on to the blazing ruins . It had but little effect , however , in subduing tho violence of the flames which were raging within the lofty blackened walls of the

      destroyed warehouses , and smoke and lire kept rising from the ruins , darkening the entire neighbourhood . The firemen who were actively employed on the third warehouse cooling the roof , had their attention drawn to it by Mr . Anderson , and they immediately proceeded to devise measures to stop it : One poor fellow , Edward Uurcb , the engineer of the TooJey-street brigade station , in his zeal to check tho progress of the flames , got down tbe loop hole and directed water on tbe burning part , but being nearly overcome by the heat and smoke , he returned to the trap to escape , when the flames formed an eddy of fire round the hole , and completely enveloped the unfortunate man . He was in the act of droimin ^ .

      when some of his comrades dashed forward and dragged him out of the hole . He was forthwith conveyed to Guy's Hospital , severely burned . ' Filled as the house was with bales and pockets of hops , to the extent of from 16 , 000 to 20 , 000 , it was almost impracticable , with the means then at command , to check the progress of the flames . With a view of saying the lower portion of the stocks , labourers were employed on the several floors / up to the very one under that which was on fire , throwing the " pockets " out of the loopholes into the street . By this means some 3 , 000 or 4 , 000 wereureserved The rapidity with which the destructive element descended to the lower floors , however , caused the labourers to make a precipitate retreat , and , despite the most energetic exertions of the brigade ,

      the entire structure was speedily alight from the bottom to the top . It may be worth mentioning , as a fact in confirmation of the supposition as to the cause , tbat the hops near to the loophole of the roof were not in the slightest wayinjured when the fire was discovered , showing , at least , that no . flame had passed through iu that quarter . . Throughout Tuesday Mr . Humphery , with Mr . Wigan , and : other members of tbe firm who are sufferers by tbe event , were earnestly employed in instituting inquiries iato the origin and , other circumstances connected with the outbreaks , but not the slightest clue could be obtained as to tbe party or parties who committed the ' fiendish act . In the course of . tbe day the ruins were inspected by a large number of the officials attached to the several insurance offices .

      Some days must necessarily transpire before tbe exact amount of losses can be accurately ascertained . According to the present estimates they can be little short of £ 150 , 000 . ' Iu consequence of tbegreat tuspicions entertained by various parties , as to some foul play having taken place during the latecimflagration in Southwark , with regard to the burning of the extensive warehouses ;> f Messrs . Wigan and Co ., that were discovered in flames in so mysterious a manner , the head of that firm , supported by Mr . Alderman Humphrey , oo Wednesday made a formal request to Mr . Payne , the City coroner , stating thatiaconsequenceof the doubt entertained that this part of the fire was not accidental , they wished that he would issue his precept for a jury , and that a full investigation might take place

      into all the circumstances . To this application M r . Payne replied , tbat he would most willingly assist the inquiry , but for the reason tbat the expenses for the inquiries that he had held for a year and a half , in which much useful information had been obtained , and offending parties brought to justice , had been refused to be paid by the Court of Common Council . On Thursday night Edward Birch , the engineer , was seized with delirium , and broke several panes of glass in attempting to escape by one of the window ! of Guy ' s Hospital . The poor man still re mains in a state of insanity , and exclaims al intervals , " My wife , my wife . " He also wishes to leave tho hospital , as his services are required at the ruins of the late fire . On Friday at noon a larg « number of the brigade men and auxiliaries were engaged in throwing water into the ruins , which an still smouldering .

      The Central Committee are actively engaged m preparing for the defence of themheunprmcipled proceedingsinstituted against them by the PerryB of Wolverhampton . Most tne metropolitan trades have been visited , and their aid invoked , to enable us to repel labour am ° ag £ ressi ( m u P the rights of With one or two unimportant exceptions , the working classes of London have given a xK . i ! geae" > w 8 response to the appeals which have been made to their sympathies . \\ e are proud to express our belief that

      ample means will be obtained for the defence of the parties implicated , and such a defence as the magnitud e and importance of the question m issue demands . It is of all things desirable that this question be settled upon its merits . The proceedings of the Central Committee in reference to tho Wolverhampton strike are to be justified , and not apologised for . No illegal act has been knowingly committed or intended ; and if the Statute Law , which

      pretends to legalise Trades' Combinations , under certain conditions , is to be ridden over at the caprice of any unprincipled capitalist , let the fact be known ; and then let labour , with true serMilce docility , prepare its neck for the yoke , or , awakened from their delusion with a unanimity of purpose and action which shall make itself heard and respected , demand from the legislature a more fiolemn and ample recognition of their industrial liberties . ' ..

      "We do not helieve that the working men of England , forming so large and important a majority of a nation which boasts so loudl y and so largel y of its constitutional freedom , will permit themselves to be ousted of their birthright by any government , party , or faction— -labour is the poor man ' s patrimony . It is a freehold inheritance which ought and musfc be protested from the spoliations of capital ..

      There is no interest that has so strong a claimfor the most uncontrolled and perfect freedom , as labour .

"What royal charter , or what act of Parliament has clothed these aspiring capitalists with the power they usurp , and which they seem disposed—at all hazards—to perpetuate over the destinies of labour ? Let us , fellow working men , press for a solemn decision upon this—to us— -momentous question . If the statute which we haveal ways considered

      legalises Trades' Unions is indeed a nullity , a mere useless excrescence , merely declaring a right which can never be legally exercised , why then let ib be repealed , and no longer deceive us . with a false show of privileges which we cannot enjoy . But if , on the other hand , it is indeed a veritable recognition of certain industrial rights , let us combine under its authority , and claim and exercise those rights which appertain to us . Under the advice of W . P . Roberts , Esq ., tho Solicitor for the Defence , a Writ of Certiorari has been moved for and obtained , for the removal of the Indictment into the Court of Queen's Bench .

      It will , therefore , be tried at Nisi Prius at the ensuing Summer Assizes , which are to be opened at Stafford , on the 24 th July . Upon the granting the writ by Mr . Justice Wightman , it was ordered by that learned Judge that the bail for the Defendants be increased from t «* o twenty-five pounds and one fifty , to two sureties in forty pounds each , and the Defendants in eighty pounds eaclj . In pursuance of this order , the nine Defendants appeared on Friday , at the Police Court , in Wolverhampton , before Mr . Leigh , the Stipendiary Magistrate , with the necessary sureties , which we are proud to say were obtained without difficulty , " and all from the ranks of labour .

      The accessary forms , and the swearing so large a number of persons , occupied a considerable time of the court . No opposition was offered by the Prosecutors . The magistrate who , we understand , might have exacted fees to the amount of six guineas , impressed , we presume , with a powerful sympathy for the defendants , most kindly remitted the whole of the court fees—an act of such unusual liberality which somewhat surprised Mr . Roberts , bnt was duly acknowledged hy him on behalf of the defendants .

      The correspondence from the provinces during the past fortnight has been of a most encouraging character . The promises of assistance for the defence are very general , and tbe strongest desire expressed that this case will be fought boldly , and without compromise , regardless of the result . To these very proper sentiments we reply—that upon no other condition could we have dared to make a public appeal . We know the annihilation of our union is contemplated—that it is in fact the sole object of the prosecution ; but that cannot be accomplished if we are true and faithful to ourselves and our cause .

      We are not disposed to quail before oppression in any form ; and we hope , in this , as in ail other cases , to justify the confidence our fellow workmen have placed in ns , which we should not do , if we shrunk from the responsibilities of bur position . We sincerely regret to learn that the publication of the address to the Silk Dressers of England , in tbe " Northern Star' of June , should have occasioned any hostile feelings towards any individuals . Wo think for any gentleman to discharge his hands , for no greater offence than having

      joined a union for their mutual protection , is a most ungenerous and unwarrantable use of that power which capital gives to its possessor . It is , indeed , a giant ' s use of a giant power . We are quite sure that no proceedings , offensive or inimical . to any individual employer , was ever contemplated by tho authors of that address , or by the union of interests which it propose ! . We are sure that a rational , well regulated union would , in any trade , be as beneficial-to the employers as the employed . We have always contended that their true interests areidentical , and that that ruinous

      competition , by which both wages and profits are so seriously affected , can only be kept within reasonable limits by the united efforts of both parties . It may be that the injurious effects of this unlimited competition is not yet generally appreciated j but we think that it may be reasonably predicted that this competitive mania cannot be permitted to progress unchecked without ultimatel y reducing the great mass of the working classes to a condition too painful to contemplate . We should have thought that any kindhearted , liberal minded man would have rejoiced to discover so much sound practical knowled ge upon very

      important subjects existing among his hands . We beg most respectfull y to remind this gentleman , that in forming a union for mutual protection , the men are but exercising an undoubted right , and that a persecuting sp irit will but stimulate , and cannot prevent , them carrying out their design . > We believe and hope that the objects of the men have been misunderstood , and that a more tolerant , if not a . more equitable , view will be taken of the matter . . But , however , as the only effective mode of meeting this aggressive spirit , we should advise a simultaneous ntbvement of the whole trade , and they that should

      express in firm but respectful terms their unchangeable determination not to permit anv dictation from any quarter , upon matters affecting their personal interests . We think if the general bod y of tho Silk Dressers upon this occasion do their duty to themselves and their trade , they may effectually counteract this intolerant encroachment upon' their rights .

      Wolverhampton. —June 20th.—The Nini Pers...

      Wolverhampton . —June 20 th . —The nini persons implicated in the indictment for conspiracy , at the suit of the Messrs . Terry , with their bail sat down on Friday evening to an excellent substantial dinner , got up in first-rate stile , at a very short notice , bv Mr . Charles Haynes , the worthy host of the Packhorse Inn , Dudley-street , whom it will be remembered was the first victim to tho fitiuiou * - E . Perry , and who was sentenced by the borough magistrates to twenty-oue days impii sonnfent and hard labour for being aU « 'iit without leave two hours from his work . W . P . Roberts , Esq ., presided on tho occasion .

      supported by Mr . John Linnev , of Bilstoti , as vice chairman . Invitations ' had also lven sent to several gentlemen whose sympathies and good offices have been frequently expi .-ri enced during tho protracted disputes between the Tinmen and thoir employers . The short ness of the notice , hownver , prevented mam of them from attending It was considered that the good old Euglisli habit of a substantial dinner , with Us usual convivial accompaniments , would be a most appropriate alth « u ? l ) a very inadequate recognition of the kindness of the individuals who upon two occasions bad spontaneously aud generously come forward , at considerable personal loss and inconven ' i

      ence , as sureties for the previous indicted . •—The dinner , which consisted of au umpk supply of old English fare , was put on the table in a stile that reflected great credit on the culinary arrangements of the host of the Pack Horse . After the cloth was cleared , the chairman drank the . health of the Queen , which he introduced in a moat loyal and humourous speech . The vic-chairman then addressed tho

      company m a most effective manner , and gave an interesting detail of the persecutions he had been subjected to , aud particularl y urged the duty of the working chsaea to assist the parties indicted in thoir defence , and also , in the event of an adverse verdict and sentence being passed against them , not to suffer their wives and children to be forgotten . The meeting was subsequently addressed by

      Messrs . Green , Winter , and Peel , who expressed on behalf of themselves and fellow victims , their gratitude to those friends who had thus so kindly come forward to assist thorn . Among the toasts of the evening , we may mention the following : — 'Mr . Leigh , flu : respected and very popular stipendiary magistrate . ' Mesrss . ' Walton and Shwlbred— -and may the same good feeling which now subsists between them and their workmen continue

      uninterrupted for many years . ' ' The President and Executive of the National Association oi United Trades , and may they persevere successfully in their efforts to rescue labour from the merciless encroachments of capital . ' Mr . Rowlands proposed tho health of the London Central Defence Committee , with the grateful thanks of tho Tinmen for their generous services on their behalf . ' This toast was ro sponded to enthusiastically . ' The Proprietor and Editor of the Northern , Star—with

      grateful acknowledgments for their liberality , and the essential service rendered by them through the strike , by the gratuitous insertion , unmutulated , of the Reports of Progress » fth « National Association ; particularl y with reference to their operations at Wolverhampton . ' The health of the chairman , W . P . Roberts , Esq ., was also drank , who returned thanks , and expressed the uniform pleasure h (

      felt , in meeting the working classes , for whose interests ho had always felt the warmest sympathies . He made some passing allusions to the monster indictments , which it would of course be injudicious to particularise . The whole thing passed ( iff in a most satisfactory manner . AH parties were evidently pleased with the evening ' s proceedings , and separated shortly before twelve o ' clock .

      Weavers' Strike At Bingley. On The 20th ...

      WEAVERS' STRIKE AT BINGLEY . On the 20 th of May tasi S 28 weavers , in the employment of Mr . William Anrfertnn , Victoria Mill , Bingley , struck work in consequence of a disngree . ment with their employer and a threatened r « laction of wages . The regulations of Mr . Amlerton in the factory were of a wry oppressive nature , tlie time allowed for the meals being so little that the workpeople werec ^ npeUed to swallow tluiir victuals without proper preparation , and to cat the chief part of their breakfasts and dinners on their way back to the mill . The majority bail nearly half a mile to walk to their homes , and many of them had their meals to . cook when they got' there . Thirty minutes were allowed for breakfast-time , and forty

      minutes for dinner-time , and if parties were noi there at the exact moment the gates leading to the mill were locked and tbe offenders fined a pr . nny Neither was any weaver allowed to leave his or her loom , even tor a single moment , no matter how pressing the circumstance which required their attendance elsewhere might be . Tbe following little incident will afford some insight into the mode o millocfftt government . One of Mr . Anderton ' s female weavers got married ; her fellow weavers wishing to Bte tbe chaise containing the couple pat > s the mill-gates , left their looms to watch it pass . They would not have to be absent above four minutes , nor to go above the distance of twenty

      yards ; but they had no sooner cot out cf the mill than the gatekeeper informed them if' they did not go back immediai » ily be would lock the gates , and thus leave them unable either to enter the mill or to get out of the yard . He kept his word , and tbe weavers were compelled to remain there until offended justice was satisfied . But the treatment ol a married woman , who was one of Mr . Anderton ' s weavers , was shocking in the extreme , She bad three children ; one of whom worked at the mill , together with the husband , the other two staying at home . On Saturday , May 7 th , she and ber family were compelled to go without breakfast , as they had no money to purchase any . The wages were paid

      at . nitie o'clock in the forenoon , when she requested permission to go home and prepare a breakfast for the two infants , as well as to purchase some hread to satisfy the cravings of her own appetite and of her husband and ber child at the mill . Permission was refused , and , shocking to relate , she could only go to the mill gates and give her weeping offspring a trifle of money to purchase something for themselves . She gave the two iutle ones ( one five years old and tbe other two ) a half . pennj each , while she herself had to work without any food whatever , until the mill stopped at two o ' clock . Against , such

      despotism as this the weavers revolted , and appointed a deputation to wait upon Mr . Anderton , He bowever . told them they were too well fed and too little watktoY but be would bring ihem down a bit , In accordance with this statement he has given notice to pull off 3 d . per piece . Tbe weavers accordingly struck work and refused to go in again until he agreed to the following conditions : —1 st . To let them have their old wages again . 2 nd . To allow the weavers ten minutes after the engine starts to get to tbeir work in . 3 rd . To permit married females to leave the mill five minutes before

      it stops , in order tbat they may have an opportunity of preparing the meals . To all these requests he returned a decided negative , reiterating his old charge —tbat they are over-fed , and underworked . Immediately after Mr . Awlwtoa ' a tenucvion , Mr . Ellis and Mr . Homes did the same , and their weavers , to the number of 104 , also struck work . To show what a bitter feeling of animosity animates the hearts of these two firms , we need only mention

      that they have requested ail the other manufacturers in the town to let none of tbe turn outs have em . p ! oytnent , arid accordingly several who had got work have since been turned off . Three hundred and twenty-fiveof the weavers are at present being sup * ported by subscriptions , the rest having secured employment in Bradford , Keighley , & c . The commit , tee are anxious to bring the matter to a settlement , but have hitherto tried in vain . Messrs . Ellis and Holmes stated that they would be guided by the

Tim defendants ple .-ideii , among other things , that tho plaintiff w ; is herself guilty of negligence , and thsi ' t she wa . i not lawfully iu tin ; mill at the time in question . At the trial , wiiich took place before Mr . Baron Phut , tit York , it appeared that a woman , named l ) illnij . ' ton , who was employed as a piecrr in tho defendant ' s mill , said part of whoso dutv it was to

      sweep tfit « room in which the engine and shaft were being indisposed , the inspector directed a subordinate to pi-oihfe a substitute for her . Upon this tho plaintiff ' s mother was applied to , and she consented to Iwr diia « tnev Rohig to the mill ; and the inspector having assented to her coming , the poor girl went to the null , when she did certain piece work , and was attei-wurds ah-ccied by the same man who had pr cured her attendance to sweep the floor of the engine-room . In so doing she was entangled in the shaft , which was not properly fenced off , as required hy the- Factory Acts , 3 and 4 William IV ., c . Ki 3 , Mid 7 Vict ., c . 15 . The learned jud » o havi « i' left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff was litivfuliy in the mill , mid to assess the damages , the jury found for the plaintiff wilh £ 120 ,

      whereupon this rule was obtained to get aside that vcr « diet , and for a new trial , on the ground of misdirection , it ieing alleged that the learned baron had told the iuiy it was enough to entitle the plaintiff to a verdict , il she supposed she was lawfully present , and ai *« to arrest the judgment on the ground that the plaintiff did not come within the provisions of ' .. he Factory Acts . —Mr . Knowles and Mr . Athcrton > vero now heard in opposition to the rule . They submitted that tho learned baron had not left the question to the jury in the objectionable form asserted by the defendants , and tbat the jury were abundantly juM . ifled in coming to tho conclusion that the plaintiff was lawfully in the mill , They aho argued that the declaration was ' -ood in law , and that it disclosed a duty and a breach . —

      Mr . Sergeant "Wilkii . s and Mr . Tlugh Hill , were heard on tho first point , but had not concluded their .-ngunniit on the second and more important otic , when Mr . Baron P . irke said that the « ourt must adjourn , as one of tlio barons must go to chambers . lie would , however , at once give judgment on the first point , as tho whole court was of opinion that the learned Baron had properly loft tho questiuii to the Jury , who were quite justified , on tho evidence , in finding that th « plaintiff was not a trespasser on the premises of the defendant , but was lawfully there .. On that issue , there fore , the plaintiff would , at all events , becnt tied to retain the verdict . As to the other points , the • ourt would resume tho argument on Friday , before whieli day it would be impossible to miefc in banco . The court then rose . The argument was resumed on Priday , when judgment was arrested .

      That in 1844 , a law was enacted , compelling all sepmen to poss-ess a register ticket , or shipping passport , without which employment on hoard ships sailing under ihe liriti . sh flier is unlawful , a measure which your | et ' nioners look at as contrary to the spirit of the constitution , abhor , vent to their feelings , and not required to be possessed by other classes' of the labouring population—an act open to much abuse , and pressing harshly upon the well-behaved sea-faring men ol'thife realms .

      The Borneo Pirates . —Through Captain S . L . , Shaw , who arrived here in the Austrian ship Padra » Mimbilli , from the west coast of Sumatra , we have > been favoured with additional particulars of the » cutting off , on the morning of the 30 th of March , , V > y the Aehnese , of the Sicillian barqe Clemintina i Cafiero , while at anchor off Pulo Diab , one of f pepper ports , and of her subsequent recovery from l the hands of these mauraders through the united 1 exertions of Captain Benjamin Balcb , jun ., of the e the American barque , Ariosto , and Captain 1 Rlioatlos , of the American barque Borneo , both of f which vessels were then lying in Achoen Itoada , i for cargoes of pepper . The hold and manly con- - duct of these American captains during a moment t

      of peculiar peril and difficulty , and when tbe hazar- - dous state of the Acheen coast is considered—infes * i » red as tbey always are by numerous hordes of ban- iditti and pirates , who are ever ready , with the e krisatotaho advantage of every favourable oppor- > tunity that may present itself to satisfy their era- vvings for robbery and pillage—deserves the highest St encomiums . It will bo a source of unbounded gra- Atifioation for us to hear that the courageous aud id praiseworthy bebavour displayed by them on that at trying occasion—resulting in the complete recap- pture of the vessel—will not only be duly apprecia- iated by the owners of the unfortunate . Clemintina , ia , but will not . be permitted to pass unrewarded by by the insurance offices generally . The Clemintina na bas proceeded for Bourbon . This affair affords au- nvother melancholy illustration of the danger of tra- fading on the west coast of Sumatra , and—alas 1 s that we may have to tell it—adds , another incident rnt

      to the catalogue of already numerous atrocities tes committed by these desperadoes . As vessels of dif-iifterent nations resort thither for commercial pur- urposes and remain some for time until tbeir lading ing is . completed —having frequently to proceed tromom port to port in search of pepper , and picking up up here and there a few picnls at a time—it behoves the the governments of their respective countries to . atationiion ships of war along the coast to protect the oom-ommercial interests of each nation .
