      _NATIONAL TRADES _ASSOCIATION FOR THB PROTECTION OF IN * DUSTRY .

      " Union for the MiMon * Sometime _ago Ithe editor of the Times newspaper was pleased to notice our institution in the columns of that paper , in which he designated us as a " monster association . " We have a curiosity to know if this appellation was ' applied to us exclusively as a noun of multitude ; if so , will admit tbat weare a very numerous body , and we will return him measure for measure , by freely admitting that the numerous extent of his circulation , and , consequently , the multitude of his readers , equally entitle his organ to tho character of a " monster newspaper ; " but if the editor ofthe Tana meant to say that there is anything monstrous , or that it was

      contrary to tbe ordinary nature of business , tbat working men . having a unity of purpose , should also have unity of consent and operation , and that they should act noon the same principles and by . the same means as other classes of men , for the legal and peaceable attainment of their common objects , such as the numerous members ofthe Chambers of Commerce , _Shipo-mere * Societies , Agricultural Sooieties . Society of Arts , Royal Society for the promotion of Science , & c ., & e . ; if to refuse to tbe working classes the right to concentrate their efforts in the same manner as the members ofthe above institutions , be the object oftlie Times' editor , we must then tell him that such an effort on his part to deter the _working men from exercising the same rights that are enjoyed

      by their more affluent countrymen , justly entitle him to the character of an anti-philo-monster . We have not imm ediate access to the number of the Times in which the remarks alluded to appeared , consequently we cannot quote the words ; part of them , however , were to the effect , that if the disputes- arising between masters and servants were allowed to remain with the parties themselves , they would soon become settled , but to introduce st " foreign power" ( meaning , of course , tbe mediation of our Association ) , the chances of success would be very doubtful . Now , we ask , are the chances of success in the case and proceedings of the nailers beforementioned more doubt _' ul in ultimately arriving at an _amicabletrndcrstandintr _, than if _thenorkmen were

      not under the influence of an institution composed of members of their own order as working men , having the same interests to support , and from amongst whom are selected mediators possessing intelligence and experience in the concerns of tlieir own business _affairs ;' orwould tlie differences between _theru and their masters be settled more to the wishes of she anti-philo-monster , if the most inconsiderate and precipitate of the workmen , acting nnder mistaken impressions of : i _* _* *; --- 'ted wonf * heing exercised towards them , -hoi-A in a u _i > ¦ _.-,. - .

      being calculated to produce that effect , should it so happen , even contrary to our expectation , that our efforts should fail , by either party refusing to abide by our final decision , we shall claim credit for liavin « _adopted the best means to produce the best effects that the circumstances of the case would admit of ; on which point we play quits with the anti-philoeditor . We have only to repeat that all our asseciation ' s efforts are direeted to effect the _greatest happiness ofthe greatest number , by the most legal , peaceable and equitable means ; but we fearlessly assert that in future , as long as we have a portion of the public pres 3 allotted to the advocacy of our cause , we will not _tamely submit to be mis ; eprcsented without _rebutting whatever may be published against us erroneously .

      The Central Committee of the above association held _theirusnal weekly meeting on Monday last . T . S . Duncombe , E 9 q , M . P ., in the chair . After the usual preliminary business was gone through , and an immense mass of correspondence read , a deputation waited upon the committee from the Paper Makers of Maidstone , for instruction ? , rules , & c , as tbey arc appointed by the seat of government at Maidstone , to visit the whole of their district mills respecting internal organization ; and will , at the same time , advocate and explain the principles and objects of the National Association .

      A deputation also waited upon the committee , from the Surrey block printers , _explaininjr to them a dispute had occurred between them and their employers , respecting an arrangement that would amount to a reduction . Mr . Allen was appointed to proceed to Cravford in Kent , and take one of their members with him , to see the men and ascertain the justness of the men ' s position , and also to see the employer , if necessary . Messrs . Green and Robson were appointed a deputation to wait upon the ladies' shoe makers of the West-end of London , who have decided upon calling an en masse meeting for the purpose of discussin ? the question of the National Association . Mr . Wiiliamson reported he had been to visit the silk pickers of Bedford , near Manchester , wbo had power to set to work or support the silk pickers in the cmplay of Mr . Pownall , should he find the representation of the men correct ; was happy tofind all the men at work ; returned to Manchester , had an interview

      with Messrs . Kelly and Gilmour ' s men ; found them labouring under very severe grievances , but unfortunately were ineligible to support . The employers , it appears , ! it' discharged a man named Donnellan . who had been in their employ five years , in consequence of his taking _' an active part in _trades union matters . The tyrants did not let it re 3 t here , they put the ban upon bim ; when he succeeded in gaining employment fer any other firm , the Messrs . Kelly , or some of their tools , immediately put themselves in communication with his new employer , telling them he was an active trades unionist , and consequently a disturber . The consequence in all cases was his immediate discharge . He then , in company with Mr . Peel , proceeded to Wilmslow , had an interview with the hand-loom weavers of that place ; found that a Mr . Holt was compelling some of his men to make the pieces from six to seven yards longer than they bad been in the habit of making them . It was then

      resolved' ¦ That Mr . Peel be instructed to see the employer , and if possible induce him to desist from so unfair a practice . " It wa 3 alio resolved" That the man Donnellan , upon the statement of Mr . Williamson , be supported by the association . " Mr . Bush reported that he waited on Mr . Woodey , the brother-in-law of Mr . Iiollins , at Stockport , relative to the men on strike , but that person would not go into the merits of the question , but said , as they ( the firm ) bad received a letter from Mr . Marsbvnd , M . P ., they should send bim the information he required . On Saturday he visited Rochdale , and found thc carpenters in good spirits , and the number on strike considerably reduced . The fustian cutters ( ISS ) of that district , paid him their levies and contributions . On Sunday he attended a

      meeting of cotton spinners , 37 _delegates _representing 6 , 000 men . On Monday be attended a meeting of fustian cutters at Cadished _. when they passed a resolution to join , with 2 dissentients ( 130 in number ); he afterwards _metthetinpkte workers of Wolverhampton , the nailers of Dudley , Netherton , Lye , and Cradley , thesockhandsof Oadbyin Leicesterjbire , and having waitedoif the employers ( Messrs . Sturgessand Howard ) , they at first denied that they had made a reduction , but they then admitted it , and said they would pay the old prices , if themajority ofthe masters were paying it , or they could not prove that their price was the best ; but , by a letter from Oadby this morning , he found that directly he left , the masters singled out seven of the men , nnd refused them any more work at auy price , so the Central Committee

      resolved' * That the men be employed by tho association as soon as possible , and that they receive pay for this week , till their frames were ready . " The case of the Thurraaston Sock Hands also came on in due form , and is under the consideration of the committee . POTTERIES . —Mr . J . W . Parker , missionary to the association , attended a meeting of the operalive tailors of Hanley and Burslem , at the Star Inn , Marsh-street , Shelton , for the purpose of explaining the princip ' es of the association . Ho was listened to with breathless attention , while he descanted at great length npon the operations of tho United Tailors' Protection Society , which had been instrumental ia pourtraying a greater amount of statistical information as to the depressed and de-graded state of the trade tban Any previous union ;

      indeed , their condition had been made known by the press generally , from one cud of the kingdom to the other , and a vast amount of public sympathy bad been expressed , and some of the largest meetings ever held in thc trade , and of the public also , had passed resolutions in favour of thc necessity of improved sanatory regulations , ag regarded employing thc operative tailors in clean and well-ventilated workshops , as one of the surest means of destroying the monster evil—sweating ; indeed , the greatest exertions had been made by thc Protection Society during the last three years , but ofn o avail , except demonstrating the fact , that , as an isolated body , the operative tailors of England are powerless—tor this reason that there is an overstocked labour-market , which can never be absorbed but by the carrying into effect the associative or self-employment principle _, a * * et forth by the National _A-sociatioa of

      United Trades . The lecturer , demonstrated the power the tailors would _atliieve by being associated with their brethren of other trades throughout the kingdom , inasmuch as tbey ( tbo trades ) were , indirectly , the means of perpetuating ana upholding the cheap tailoring establishments ; therefore , of all trades , the tailors were deeply interested in the progress of the " monster association , " as they would be enabled , under the arrangements of the association , to open clothing establishments in various parts of the kingdom and thus release themselves from the grasp of the Moses ' , the _Hyams' , the Samuels' , the foxes and the wolves , who devour , in the shape of profits , the hard-earned wages of labour . Mr . 1 . explained also the past proceedings of the association , its origin and present prospects , to the liihnite satisfaction of his audience , and concluded an address of nearly two hours and-a-halfamid loud cheers .

      , Several questions Lavinf been put and answered satisfactorily , a committee was appointed to _prenent a statistical account of the proceedings ofthe llanley and Burslem Tailors' Society during the last Wiree years , and a meeting to be called on luesday , tlie 9 th of March , then and there to decide uponlorm * ing part of the " United Trades , " resolutions approving of tho principles of the association ; and thanks to the missionary and the chairman were passed unanimously . ,. _, , On Wednesday evening , Mr . Parker attended a general meeting of potters at the Christian _liretbren's meeting-room , Stoke . lie fully exp lained the objects of his mission , and a resolution was unanimously adopted as follows : — "That this meeting having heard the able and eloquent exposition of the

      principles and objects of the National Association ot United Trades , p _' ledge ourselves to organise for future meetings , and during the intervals that we labour to disseminate the principles among our fellow-operatives , and induce them to attend . " Votes of thanks were then passed to the lecturer and chairman . On Thursday evening , February 25 th , Mr . Parker addressed a meeting of the China painters and gilders , at the Royal Oak Inn , llanley . Some doubts having been expressed that the above branch oftlie pottiug business being of an artificial nature , that the re-productive or self-emp loyment principle could not be made effective in their case , Mr . Parker fully and clearlv showed to the meeting that it was equally applicable _' in their case as in other trades ; in the ¦ first place , by increasing the means of consumption , which the association aimed at , working men as well

      as others would require their productions , and would hare them , as the very operations of this association went to create a spir it of emulation , which would enhance the condition of the higher class of trades , because , if the meats of consumption tothe working classes were increased , they would necessarily be enabled lo have better food—better clothing—and more of it , and their habitations would be better furnished than now ; secondly , he instanced the fact that other trades of a similar character had already started for : ' :. ! _-: > _- - « f . and found no difficulty in finding a mar-* _.,. * , ¦ _,-, _..- * _.-. - " _* r > . among the higher orders . u ' . _rcn-.

      ABERDEEN , Tuesday Evening . —A public meeting of the trades was held in the National Temperance Hall , George-street , when Mr . Jacobs delivered a lecture on the general grievance of the working class , and the National Trades _) Association'sremedies .

      DUNDEE , . Wednesday Evening . —Mr . Jacobs attended the general meeting of the shipwrights in Peter-street Hall , to give further information and answer questions relative to the Association . Mr . Jacobs introduced his five propositions of advantages that appeared in last week ' s "Star , " substantiating them with facts and arguments . A few questions were asked by several members , and some good speeches delivered in support of the plan of thc National Association . No opposition was offered , and the most perfect brotherly feeling was evinced throughout , and thc following resolution was carried unanimously : — That we , the shipwrights , being fully convinced of the tffl _^ iency of the National Trades Association , do hereby join from the lst day of March .

Peel reported that ho attended a meeting of fustian-cutters , miners , and others , at Harrowgate-brow , near Rochdale , on the 22 nd ultimo . A numerous and attentive audience li » tened with evident satisfaction to the explanations offered by Mr . Peel , showing the superiority of the National Association , as a means of Musing the wor & _ing classes of every denomination from their

      present depressed condition , lie showed how the profits arising from the manufacturing operations ol thG Employment Association would swell their funds in a progressive ratio , and enable thc directors gradually to extend their operations until a time would arrive—not so far off , perhaps , as some might imagine—when every cotton mill , with its elaborate and extensive machinery , would be in their hands , and exercising its gigantic powers for the advantage , and not to the injury , of the sons and daughteis of toil _, lie showed the blessings which would follow the working-out our object . Ho illustrated to his hearers the perfect reliance of one trade upon an other . If ( says be ) tbe working classes , by tbe union , arm the Board of Directors with the necessary funds , by taking shares in the company , what difficulty

      will there be for the Association to weave , cut and dye their own fustian ? what then to prevent our unemployed tailors frora making up these into jackets , _trosuers _, & c . These goods would tben come into the retail market , through the shops and stores of tlie association ; in every large town in the kingdom , the members would naturally be customers to their own shops , and the present enormous profits exacted by the Moses' and Hyams' wolves and foxes , and all such tribes , who are now destroying that important trade , would be appropriated to the extenbion of this mighty movement , until every trade in its tuvn would feel the benefits of increased employment and improved wages . Each branch would find their powers of production increasing , in an equal ratio witb their means of consuming . 13 it possible , asked Mr . Peel , for the most strenuous efforts of the best constituted isolated trades union ever to accomplish results like these ? He knew that there could be but

      one answer to this question , the meeting pronounced it an emphatic . No . Ho then finished his" address amidst the applause of the meeting . On Tuesday night lie attended a meeting of the hands of Messrs . Kelly and Gilmour , cotton spinners of Manchester , relative to as expected reduction threatened by that firm . He listened to the particulars oi the case , cautioned the hands , in all they did , to avoid any infringement either of the laws ot the association or the laws of the land , otherwise tbey would deprive the Central Committee of the power of serving them . The best feeling was manifested ; a vote of thanks was given to Mr . Peol for his services on that occasion , and also as a deputation to lvcu > and Gilmour upon other grievances , which had to a great extent been removed through his intervention . _L-uring the remainder of the week , Mr . _Peel w _/* 9 engaged , in connection with Mr . Williamson ol the Central Committees in Manchester , Leigh , _Winslow , and Stockport , upon several missions of delicacy and importune * .

Duncombe , respectfully submitted that thc hearing of the present complaint against the defendant ought to Stand over until Mai-tin ' s case nas decld _<* d upon nt thc Sessions . Mr , Combe would not accede to a postponement of the case , as it would be granting a sort * . of licence to the defendant to act with impunity until the case was tried at the sessions , The ease might be proceeded with , and if there was anything in it that rendered u postponement necessary they might depend upon it his would do every justice to all parties . After hearing evidence , Mr .

      Com he said , I don ' t see how I can proceed further with the case . The defendant is charged in the summons for " unlawfully and knowingly permittinij or suffering disorderly conduct in his house . " The police are called in to interfere , and he ( defendant ) called upon them to turn the parties out , wliich they refused to do , and left the place . Mr . Duncombe : Ay , Sir ; although they actually saw an assault or breach of the peace committed , they would not clear the house or take the parties into custody . Mr . Combe : Why , what the police prove is _eiuite thc reverse of that wbich they allege . Mr . Buncombe : The police seem to act under a very extraordinary _misun'ler-• . tandingof the law , that they must not interfere with what takes place inside a house . A licensed victualler , the other day , was nearly killed in his own bous ; bec ; iu-e th _« : police would not interfere -, yet , by the samo law , they were empowered to enter every respectable licensed victualler ' s bouso whenever they thought proper . No _gentleman was safe in his own house under such a state of

      things , lie mentioned an instance where a party broke into a house and took away stolen property , and because the thief told the police that it was a question of ri _~ h _lwtiyeen debtor and creditor , the polico would not inte-rf ' _cri-. After some further conversation Mr . Combe said he would dismiss thc case . Heavi _Penalties . -- G . Smith was charged , at the in . stance of the Excise , with having unlawfully in his posses _, sion n quantity of illicit spirits , without a permit , contrary to the statute of Cth Geo . 1 V „ chap . 80 , which subjected him to a penalty of £ 100 , or six months'imprisonment . It appear , d that some Excise officers were searching a liouse in Bullock- alley , Whitecross-street , St . Luke ' s , where "jigger" spirits were sold . A knock _camo at the door , wliich being opened , the prisoner was found with a _bai-ke-t _Ce-ntaininj three bladders , in which were five

      gallons of illicit spirits . The prisoner had no permit , and he was taken to the Bta tion house . Ou inquiry , aU , _Clark-court , which address the prisoner gave , he was fuund not ta be living there , but at No . 9 , George-street , Camberrrcll , where tho officers discovered a private still at work , which they seized . A turnpike ticket was found in the prisoner ' s possession , from which it was _evident that ho must , just before his apprehension , have driven _throiijjh the Geren Man gate , near Camberwell . — Mr . Greenwood convicted the prisoner in the penalty of £ 100 , or six months' imprisonment , leaving bim , if he thought proper , to apply to the Commissioners of E * : cise T 1 _IAXIE 8 . —Singular Hallucination . —On Tuesdaylast , Mr . Joseph Assender applied to Mr . Yardley for his advice uuder the following circumstances . Ho stated that some months since a woman and her son occupied

      the house , No . 37 , _Chapel-strett , St . _fieorge- _' _s-in-the-East , belonging to applicant ' s father . in-law . As far back as eight weeks since the woman died ; aud her son , who entertained { notwithstanding the appearances of decomposition that presented themselves ) the strange delusiou that his mother was not dead , refused most positively _, in defiance ef the wishes of the neighbours , to have the corpse interred . Applicant had himself seen the body , which was absolutely _c-ivered with u blue mould . The party complained of also refused to pay any rent or to quit the premises . —Mr . Yardley thought it would be most proper for the parochial authorities to interfere . In his opinion they iiiyht remove this as well as any other nuisance ; or , if thc iiu _wanco were not removed , they might indict the party _offciidiDg at the Old Bailey .

      • .. ; BOW-STREET . —On Tuesday , two respectable look _, ing men , named William _Jenkins an < l Frederick William-Son , were brought before Mr . Jardinn , charged with having attempted to obtain goods by false pretences . Mr . Prew , clothier , of High llolborn , said on Monday the two prisoners came into his shop nnd picked out articles ot clothing , in payment of which Williamson tendered a cheque purporting to be drawn by Charles Kinnaird , in favour of Williamson on Messrs . Ransom of Pall-mall . He told thorn Ue was not in the habit of taking cheques , except from persons whom he knew . _Willhinson said he liyed at 31 , Gray ' _s-inn-road _, aud wrote that address on the back of the bill . Ho then said to Williamson , he

      _wouI-1 send to the bank , and having sent his clerk , thc prisoners went away . When he returned he told witness that there wero ne effects at Messrs . Ransom ' s . Soon after his return , Jenkins came in and as _, ked for his change and parcel . Told him ho thought nil was not right . Culled a constable nnd g . _ivchini in to custody . Williamson eame also some short time afterwards , and he gave him into custody , William Stroud , shopman to Mr . Frew , said he presented the cheque at Mrs . Ransom _' s , and was told there were no effects . Mr . Jardine said this _was a serious charge , and ought to be fully inquired into . He should remand both prisoners , to enable the police _tom-ikc inquiries , and for the production of the clerk from Messrs . Ransom ' s .

      The Desperate Assault oh Mb . Ubvwaivt ut Major Besiowski . —On Wednesday , Bartholomew Beni . owksi , bettor known as Major Beniowski , of S , Bow . street , a teacher of "Artificial Memory , " ic , was charged with a violent assault ou Mr . D . Ui quhart , at the public meeting for Poland on Tuesday last . Mr . _Ahisy , a barrister , appeared to _pi-ufei- the complaint ; and Mr . Wolff , from thc ofiice of Mr . Haines , for thc defendant . Mr , Urquhart , the complainant , who appeared in the witness-box with bis nose and free much lacerated , stated that he attended a public meeting , held at the Freemasons Tavern , the previous afternoon , upon the subject ol Cracow , lie left the lull between five and six o ' clock , and was approaching the vestibule , when a person whom he did not kuow , and whom he now rocogniscd as the

      defendant , came up to hira and _requeued an interview . On stating his name to be Beniowski , he ( Mr . Urquhart ) passed on towards the door , being accompanied hy the Rev . Hamilton Gray , In a moment afterwards he was grasped violently at the back of the neck , and , dropping his chin and stooping to evade nhat ho thought au attempt to throttle him , his face was lacerated , aud he was pulled down . Ho was presently relieved ffom the grasp , hut he knew not how , und instantly saw that his assail _, ant was the defendant . He knew nothing of him , and hud had no previous communication with him , _Crossexamiued—Had been about five months in London , residing ia _Clargcs-streot , Piccadilly . Was tho author of the pamphlet produced , and wrote the extract marked therein . Ths following was thc _paiisage referred to ;—

      Mari-Bonoug'i.Street. — Juvenile Hobse-B...

      " There have been _arents seized in your own territory . You have discussed despatches aud communications of the mon alarming description ; these events have token place and are known , and not one mas nt tbis present moment is in custody , and no explanations between the two governments have taken place . How can you account for that ! There is a Polish Jew named Beniowski ; he is one ofa class of men employed throughout the whole of Central Asia at the present moment . This man has been engaged in fomentim : insurrections in 1 urkey ; he has been connected with F _, g > pt ho comes to this country with a previous knowledge of those means of action , and is organizing conspiracies in this country , as th . agent ofthe Russia ,, , atlJ tll 0 „ _,, , he English government . "

      lu reference to the above extract , the complainant admitted thathe was the writer of it . Hcdid not make the statements from any personal knowledge Of Ikui . owski , but from what was generally said and understood respecting him . Re-examined . — Tho date of the pamphlet was 1810 . He had some _knowled ge of the ( _lefendant ' s . character in 1 S 39 , during the Chartist agitations , _tv _^ an ' he ( Mr . Urquhart ) was in frequent communication ' with a metropolitan constituency . Th-.- Rev . 3 . "Hamilton Gray stated , that he is a clergjman of th * church of England , and his chief residence was at Balsoner Castle , in Birby * hire . He was at present living in Piccadilly . He had beard tho _statements of Mr . Urquhart , and could corroborate his _eudeucci in every particular , baring been in hit company tliii whole time . The witness evinced considerable excitement In

      cross-examination , and observed that ho was not to be browbeaten , although he was merely asked if he was a friend of the complainant . Jn . Hay , the servant of Mr . Urquhart , who was also present , corrobwated the preceding evidence , and stated , that he followed BeniowBki back into the hull after the assault , and gave him in charge . Tlie defendant then addressed the court on hi * own behalf . He said , he had no intention to plead "Not Guilty" to this charge . He ( defendant ) was aware in his serious position , and hence he craved the attention nf _t' > e court to a short history of his case—relyiDg on his character , well known in tho neighbourhood ( wheie he had _residei many ycari ;) for tlie credit to be given to his Statement , ne had heard of Mr . Urquhart many years ago , and had greatly admired his writings and public exertions in tho cause of tho Poles , until ,

      in 18-10 , his attention was drawn to the extraordinary imputation upon his ( defendant ' s ) character , contained in the pamphlet produced . Heat ouco believed there was some mistake , and felt anxious to obtain an explanation . With this object in view , ho applied to the publishers of the pamphlet , but could not _leui'n the residence of the author . From time to time he was referred to Duke-street , to the Travellers' Club , the Union and other clubs , but was still unable to meet with him . The effect of the imputation on his character was his utter ruin , and it was only by a severe _struggle that he was enabled to recover his position ; for while others could treat Mr , Urquhart ' s charges with contempt , he was seriously affected b y tbem . Lately he heard that the complainant was connected with the Jforniii _^ r Post , but he was stil ) unable to see him ; and afterwards , on telling a traveller that he wanted to meet bim , his repl y wns ,

      " I wish you may get him . The people of Glasgow hare placarded the walls for him , and would he glad to see him also . " At length , while sitting in ihe hull 1 * 11 Wednesday afternoon , he um xpeetedly beard the chairman uwiouiict * Mr . Urquhart ' s name and being determined to -j , ? .

      The Fraternal Democrats. The Nsual Meeti...

      THE FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS . The nsual meeting of this society took place on Monday evening , March 1 st ; William Al en in tha chair . Some town members having been elected , the following country members were also elected : —Joha West , of Macclesfield ; Adam Camcron _. of Mauchline , Ayrshire ; Thomas Smith , of Birmingham , ' and Thomas Frost , of Croydon . Siiri'cy . On themotion of Julian Harney and Carl Schapper , William Allen , native of the United States , was elected American secretary . An important communication ( from Paris ) respecting the Prussiau Constitution was read , after which the discussion was commenced ou "The American National Reform Movement , for the establishment of a Landed Democracy . "

      Chahles Keen said , this movement showed that political franchise * secured to the Americans hy their revolution , had failed to establish social justice ; hence thc necessity of social reform . He admired the views _seemingly entertained by thc American reformers , as regarded tho equality of the sexes , and the security of the homestead from the grasping -dutch ofthe usurer ; but he objected that ICO acres was too much land to allot to ono individual , or one family ; he also objected tn the holders of the land having the power to sell their farms . He thought the land should not be bought nor sold . Caul Sciiappeb considered the American agitation , defective . _ The land should belong to the people , and not to individuals . One hundred and sixty acres was too much to give to one man . Under such a system , large as America was , there would come a time when there would be no land for tho new

      comers , unless the farms 'ycre subdivided ; and the evils of subdivision were indisputable . Ho wished the earth to be cultivated iu common . Instead of isolating each family , he wished the land of tho American townships to be cultivated by all , for all . Egotism was the curse of the human race : this curse would bo augmented by giving each man his own piece of ground . Let thc land be the property ofthe state , and all labour and all enjoy , and egotism would disappear . John Mot believed that while the land was held aa individual property , equality was impossible . All partial _relorms were objcctionnble , because the parties benefited by such reforms became Conservatives . Thc American reformers should go the whole length in demanding thatthe land should be made national

      property . The rental of the land should defray all the expenses of the state ; if this was _doue taxes would not be needed . Buildings shun ill be national property , as well a 3 land . Railways , gas-works _,, water-works , < fcc , should be the property of thc state At present the public were plundered by private companies and profit-mongevs , to a much greater extent than by the government and mere tax-eaters . Georoe William _Wiieklkr disputed the doctrine thnt partial reforms were ol > _jeet-w >» able . No doubt Communism , or the state of things desired by friend Schapper , was the great end of progress ; but the objects of the American reformers contemplated a transition state , and their movement , in hia opinion , was calculated to produco the happiest results .

      Ou the motion of J . Overton awl Carl Schapper , thc discussion was adjourned to tho next meeting of the society , on Monday evening , March 15 th : $ . Overton to open the discussion . George W . Wheeler wns then elected chairman for the next meeting , and the _procecili- ' tigs terminated . [ The above report merely indicates the arguments cf tho speakers . The discussion promises to bo-very interesting and useful . At the next _mectip-f tho election of members , and other business , will be so expedited ns to ensure the commencement *> t tho discussion by half-past S o ' clock .
