In fact , all the _^ _ost _v _yjoster and bustle about the Montpensier marriage , _urnic ' irliich bas led to the interruption of cordiality _bertwee _' ireen England and France was one of those _prea-preat political blunders which the pugnacious and _iBerjSery Hotspur at the head of the Foreign _Departmemnent is peculiarly liable to commit . »«• »

At At . ill events , England wiih its Guulph , and France

      wil with its Orleans dynasty , are not the countries to inl interfere in such a matter . ' The annexation of Cracow is the natural sequence of of _Palmerston ' _s itch for meddling , which led him fn ! jjjt 0 tlie Spanish quarrel . As soon as the Northern Pc Powers sa *** Franre and England at variance about fh that ridiculous affair , they dexterously seized the opno portun ity of effecting what they had , no doubt , long « _cMiterop lated . For whatever wrong was thus com n mittcd . we hold Lord Palmerston to be in a very m great degree responsible , and his formal protest & against- it , is a piece of empty bembast , which does b not in the slightest repair the injury .

      Great Meeting Of Tiie Power-Loom Weavers...

      Blxckbuks , Jan . 13 th , 184 * 7 . Mr . William Peel , the Association Missionary , havin ? made previous arrangements with the Local Committee , a public meeting was announced _byfplacard , to hear the principles and objects of the National Trades' _Assosiation for the Protection of Industry and Employment of Labour explained . The large room of the Masons' Arms , Penry-atrcet , was taken f » r the occasion , and long before the time announced , the room was filled to _overflowing , so deep an interest is universally _sprinnint ; up among the industrious classes in every district , in favour of the ' * Monster" Association . Previous to the meeting a deputation from nearly one thousand strippers and grinders waited upon Mr . Peel , te know what steps they should take in order to join the Association . He gave them tlie necessary information , for which they expressed themselves verv thankful .

      At eight o ' clock the chair was token by Mr . Xorris , who , after a few preliminary remarks , introduced to the _' mecting Mr . Peel , who was greeted with a truly Lancashire welcome , by thc meeting . When silence was restored , Mr . Pbei , _commenced by _expressing tlie great pleasure he had in the opportunity then afforded him of introducing to so numerous an audience tlie Association mr the _Protccti-m of Industry and thc Employmeut of Labonr . He bespoke their indulgence for himself , as he was labouring under a severe cold , but if they would oblige him with an attentive hearing , he had no doubt of beinsr able to make them all hear , even at the extreme end of the room . He then skewed the necessity wliich existed for some crcat

      movement which should be able to ex ricate the working classes from their present degraded dependance on the caprices ef capital . He said , that any scheme that should in future be brought forward for that purpose must be altogether different from any other that preceded it , or otherwise it would not deserve the confidence and support of the workin * classes . He thought he should be able to show this evening , that the great Association of * vhich he was the humble advocate , was totally different in its principles from all its predecessors . He then read the first paragraph in the preamble to the laws , setting forth the two great facts upon which the Association is based ; namely , that the working classes do not rececive a fair dav ' s wa _« e for a fair day ' s

      labour ; and that all their previous endeavours have failed in obtaining for them this great desideratum . In the absence of any authority upon that point , heproceeded to give libra definition of a "fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work . " He said that he thought every man should receive as a remuneration for a fair day ' s work , first , an abundance of ? ll the necessaries , _conveniences , and comforts of life , without any extravagances ; secondly , comfortable , well-ventilated , roomy dwellings , replete with all conveniencics conducive to the healthful enjoyment of life ; thirdly , the means of giving their children the very best education which the hi » hcst talent in this country can furnish , and not the miserable , paltry _instalment under that name now doled out so scantily ,

      and miscalled " National . " He said he deemed it the greatest degradation for anv working wan to be the recipient ot charily . Give to the w rki > g man the rights which belong to him as a social being , and he'll be a suitor for no man's charity . And , in addition to ali these requisites , thc working raw was entitled to a surplus to lay by , as a reserve fund , to fall back upon when those contingencies , _inseparable from humanity , " sickness and old a _<* e _, " shall overtake him . This and nothing less he considered would be a tair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s , labour . Then , thc great object of these associations is gradually , but surely , to put the working classes in a condition to obtain this indisputable right . He then , at considerable length , proved the impos < i-

      bility , by the system of strikes ever to accomplish this desirable end . He proved by arguments how impracticable it was for any isolated trade , however extensive , to cope with the capital of that trade _, lie urged the utility—nay , the necessity , of trades , even where thoy had _je > ined thc Association , of keeping up their local organisation . He showed , by a familiar illustraticn , how much more effectively the great powers of the Association could be brought tn bear beneficially upon a trade thoroughly organised through the kingdom , than it could upon a trade existing in isolated sections , although belonging to thc Association . He aliuded to the _organisation ol

      the power-loom weavers , and regretted that the Ac _> cringtOB branch had withdrawn from the body , upon joining the National Trades . lie said it foi med no part of the design of the National Trades to interfere or to break up existing Trades' Unions ; on the contrary , he thought a perfect _organisation of every trade throughout ths united kingdom highly desirable , and would assist the operations of tho Association . He trusted the Accrincton branch , and all others , would remain faithful to their own trades ' bodies . ( Great applause ) He then at length went into explanations of the two Associations , anel finished an address of about two hours and a hall

      amidst three distinct rounds of applause . After silence was restored , Mr . Peel invited any person to put any questions upon points on which they were not satisfied ; It was his duty , as well as his desire , to leave no person in a state of doubt R * r . Cooper , the General Secretary of the Friendly Association of ( the Power-loom Weavers of _tiit-United Kidgdom , who had come upon thc platform during the lecture , then came forward , and was received with great applause , he said , that he had not come for the purpose of offering auy opposition to Mr . Peel . Hehad seen thc rules and _regulation- * of the Association , and was bound to say he could

      not object t * any part thereof ; but should be _iinst _htippy to see it carried out . But hearing that Mr . Peel was to be in Blackburn this evening , he felt it his duty in consideration of thc position he held amongst them to come forward , and to caution them , lest they suffered themselves to be ltd into an untried and doubtful movement , which would lead to the breaking up of their own Association , which in less than a twelvemonth had _aswmed so important a position . He looked upon this _iocal Association as a child of his own lie had worked hard to bring it tu its present successful position , and he was deter-; mined as far as he was concerned to prevent it bcint I broken up . He , therefore , deprecated their prema-

      t iirely joining any movement of other trades ; he ob * Jected to their trade , so poorly paid , contributing what he was sure thoy neither could nor would pay , to support thc aristocratic high-priced trades . He complained that throuijh the _meanB of some of the Association agents , Farrington had turned over to the Association of the United Trades , and had deserted their own body . Mr . Prki , here said , he was not aware that Farrington had given in their adhesion , but he did not think any agent of the Association had been there _, lie was glad to hear that _Fttrrington had joined , but regretted that they had withdrawn from their own body . Mr . Cooper might add to Farrington , _Accrineton and Clithero .

      Mr . Cooper continued—inferring that the same course would be followed by other localities- ; he , therefore , should make it his business to use all his influence to prevent other bodies joining the National Association . He spoke somewhat satirically of the large views of the Association , described it as a very pretty theory , and very well if it could be carried out . Ho believed that it was not in the power of the working classes to stand against the combined capital ofa single town like Iilackburn , muoh less against the united capital of the _kindt-om . He had nothing to say against the United Trades , but thought it quite premature to seek to get in the Power-loom weavers , let them go on as they had been oofngiuid organise their whole trade , ' when they had done that they then could give the _question—^ joining the United Trades acnlmand patient consideration _.

      , nnd , perhaps , they would join in a bodv . He said that , as regarded drawing off the surplus labour , it might do for shoemakers , stoch ing weavers , _Wtvlon-, or even glove-makers , and nail-makers ; but ho wished to know in how many years , or if over , they expected to start a cotton factory ; lie then went into some calculations to show that it would take £ 3500 at / east to put forty Power-loom weavers to work , and seeing that this union could not do thera any sood for a very long time , if at all , not to _siiffVr _themselves to be enticed by flowery speeches and coloured statements , lie by no means wished to oppose the United Trades , hut considered it his duty to do all he could to prevent the power-loom weavers from joining . Mr . Cooper having spoken in this strain about three quarters of aa hour , retired amidst great applause .

      Mr . I'KBt , in reply to Mr . Cooper , complained that Mr . Cooper had not attempted to oppose him by argument , but simply raining groundle . _*> s f <* ars lor the safety of his own pet child , but , had Mr . Cooper been present at the commencecent of the lecture , he would have fouud tliat the course pursued by the Accrington body , and « s it appeared since , by the Farrington , had heen repudiated and condemned by him . And a 3 that was really the only point of consequence raised by Mr . Cooper , he did not sec he bud anything further to answer . But he must say , that Mr . Cooper took a most strange cour .-e , considering he professed himself so favourable to this

      great ' movement , and wished it so much success . Mr . _Co-iper reminded him of the mo * t approval manner of injuring a good cause wliich was invulnerable to every other system of attack , he meant" damning it with faint praise . " I approve , says Mr . Cooper , of your object , but will throw every obstacle I can in your rond . As the only objection _IVr Cooper had * raised , had not only been answered , but even anticipated , he did not think he should be ' usti-( ied in occupying tbeir time at this late hi ur . lie wa * quite ready to answer nny other objections , but hoped they wou'd be confined to facts and not _sophistics .

      Mr . Cooper came forward , rather angry at being charged with dealing in sophistries , he considered it an imputation upon his honesty , because no honest man would descend to sophistrio ? _, he then went on much in tlte same manner and to the same purport asbelore , but suddenly checked himself , s lying , " 1 forgot , Mr . Peel d * es not liko this mode of reasoning . " Mr . Pbbl said , " I do not ; oppose me tooth and nail and then I shall understand you . " Mr . _Coor-K * " * , ( emphatically ) , " 1 can't , I can't op . pose you . " Mr . Pkei ,, " I am quite satisfied , go on , I shall

      say no mon * . Mr . CoorKit went on in the same style a short time _longer and withdrew amidst very great applause . The _Chaihma .: * then introduced Dr . Currie . This gentleman having rose once during Mr . Cooper ' s speech to correct him on somo point , was very _uncoitrteously and petulantly snubbed with , who are yon ? mind your own _busintss and not interfere with me , tfce . Dr . _Ce-RniE , on rising said , in allusion to his reception , that he thoujit it , at lea _** t , most _uncalled

      ti > r , he sboued not have come to the meeting except from the placard , stating it as a public nieetini :, and as he was known to he a friend to the working classes of Blackburn . He _passed some unmerited _etil / giums of the lecturer , and expressed his high approval of the National Associations , and strongly -idviecd the wcavcre of Blackburn to join it forthwith , expressed himself ready and willing to give it all the support in his power , because it appeared tu him to be the only Association calculated to benefit tbe work ins men .

      A Wkaver then came forward to prorose the foi I _iwing resolution : — That the Poiver-loom Weavers , of Blackburn am ] oth- rs , in public mteting assembled , having heard tht principle ! aud objects of the National Association , o United Trades t ' or the _prott-vtion ot Industry and em . plr . ynient of labour , explained by the Association Missionary , Mr . Peel , are of opini . m thai thu _Assyci ' _.-iii _.-n are deserving of the _coutideneic anil support of tho working _« _lawe : 5 _teuevaily of the Unit- c _Kini-ilom . We , then-fore , declare our Intention to support the same to the * utmost of our ability , and to use our best endeavours to persuade our fellow workmen to follow our example _. The person appointed to movo this resolution , found himself so much enlightened by Mr . Cooper ' s _an-urncnts . that at [ Mr . Peel ' s request he _declineii proposing it , and shortly supported Mr . Cooper ' s views .

      Another of Mr . Cooper ' s friends then came forward , and after paying he thouisht , ' as far as arguments went , Mr . Peel had much the best of it , yet he , on the whole , agreed with Mr . Coopei and proposed the following resolution ( the previous one having dropped for the present ) :- — That , in the opinion of this meeting ' , the If ational A =. socir . tion , for the protection of industry and the employment » f labour , may ba beneficial to _traeles that can avail themselves of them , h » t such is the peculiar condition of Power-loooi Weavers , and so young is tlieir our Association , that it would be unwise to let their _atte-iition be divided between it and others . This meeting , therefore , pledges itself to give its best _Aoniiderutimi to tht- National Trades Association when tbey are better organize d _.

      This being moved and seconded , thc other dropped motion was taken up by one of thc committee oi the district , and proposed as an amendment . On being _t-ut by the chairman , the resolution was carried by a considerable majority , but the committee certainly appeared to support the amendment . _Dissatisfucti'in was expressed at the result . It was stated that those iii the body of the room did not ; see any difference _between the two , but the one emanating from their secretary was , of coarse preferred as a mark of res-peel to him . It was suggested that the question lie put again . Hands up for Mr . Peel , —hands up tor Mr . Cooper , —Mr . Cooper again got the majority . The meeting terminated at twelve o ' clock .

      Mr . Peel is desirous of saying that ho wns quite satisfied with the results of this meeting . He is assured by those who know tho Blackburn Weavers a little better than Mr . Cooper : that their adhesion ( about 5 . 000 ) may be looked for in a short time , but certainly not at the same time withdrawing from their own society . Let this be every weaver ' s motto , " United wc start ! , divided we fall . " Now Mr . Cooper , I fear , has in this case done what I am sure lie would not wish to have done . Ho has , I fear , created two parties in tho illnokburn district . Let him , instead of following up his present questionable tact c * , facilitate my efforts in laying before every branch of his association the principles and objects ofthe United Trades Associations , and having done this , let time be allowed for reflection , then call a

      general delegate meeting to decide upon tlw question of _joininc _«*» masse . Mr . Cooper will thus keep his society intact . Otherwise he will see it melt away without any effort of his being able to prevent it . Warrington is gone , and 1 know of others ready to join , only waiting for explanation . 1 offer these remarks from the best feeling , and a desire as strong as Mr . Cooper to prevent tke breaking up of tint _or-iiiniz-itioii he has so laudably and successfully assisted in forming . I beg to apprise any body of weavers or spinners wishing for explanation of the objects and principles of the Natiunal Trades Association will meet with immediate attention , by addressing a line to Mr . Bairett , 11 , Tottenham Court Road , or to Mr . Peel , the Association ' s Missionary , 12 , Greek Street , _CheuKou-upou-Medlw-k , Manchester .

      localities to pemiadc those of thrir members who had not joined to do so forthwith . He showed the inconvenience of a portion only of any trade being in thc association . He alluded to some suggestions he had offered to the committee , which he thought mi _^' bt , if acted on , be of service to their society _, _liwt any service the central committee could afford them would be rendered more effective in proportion to the support given to the association by tho trade themselves . He thanked their constituents , through them , for the kindness manifested towards him as the humble advocate of the niouster association , and

Mr .
