      A New Miracle . —Several Roman Catholic journals record a new miracle . According to the tale , the Virgin Mary appeared , on the 19 th of September , 1846 , to two shepherd hoys , who were together on the mountain of La Salette , in the diocese of Grenoble . She spoke to each in her native tongue —to one in French , to thc other in the German patois of the frontier ; giving to each a very long exhortation on the want of diligence among the people of Corps , thc village to which they belonged . She wore a wreath of roses ; when she went away they saw that the grass did not bend under the pressure of her feet ; she disappeared gradually , the light of her countenance dazzling them . On one spot where her feet rested a fountain sprung out , which has not since dried ; and the water has proved a successful remedy for sick persons . — _£ '< _tawii . ei * .

      National Trades' Association For The Pro...

      NATIONAL TRADES' ASSOCIATION FOR THE _PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY .

      " Union for the MiUicn . " We deem it expedient to remind our _numerot-s mcni-ers and friends of the approaching _Annn _. J Conference of our Association , which will take place at Birmingham on Whit Monday , May 24 th , and following days , until the business is disposed of , on which occasion every branch of the Association , consisting of thirty and not more than 150 members , may send one delegate . Branches of 150 and not more than 300 members , mav send two

      delegates , and one additional delegate for every 300 members above that number ; all delegates heing paying members for one of the societies they represent , which , also , pay the expenses of their delegates out of their own local fund . A programme of the matters intended to be brought undci the consideration of Conference will be transmitted to each branch one month previous to the lime of Conference . Upon tbe several points confained _, in which the branches are required to eoribider and instruct their delegates thereupon , for further particulars we refer to the rules on pages 2 and 3 .

      f his is a new feature in the business _proaeedints of working-men . _, Previous to the commencement of this Association , which is yet in its infancy , notwithstanding the great number of its members , and when the important proceedings that have been recorded during t he last fevf v . eeH ., in onr weekly reports , are considered , such as various misundergtandinss and disputes between employers and their workmen being amicably settled by thc mediation of our agents , without recourse to the old injurious practice of strikes , and in cases where a reconciliation could not be effected , the men have been put to work

      and are now profitably employed , to the nn small mortification of their late masters . These , and other important matters too numerous to mention , all tend to show the great utility of the National Association and its superiority over the antiquated system of merely local or trades' unions , which very rarely possessed any moral influence , even in their own locality . This Association , however , has proved that it is the determination of its executive government that it shall support its character as a National Institution ; and we feel confident that the time is not far distant when its influence will have

      become so great as to supersede the necessity of strikes , and that the principle of an equitable remuneration for labour will be so firmly established , and so efficiently supported , as lo insure io all ils members " a fair day ' s wage for a fair day ' s work . " Those prospects are very _satisfactorj-, and cannot fail to be exceedingly cheering to our members , who , knowing that the want of a medium of mfcdiati . n and influence has often proved a source of great injury to many trades and individuals , and even to local communities , misunderstandings and disputes are ever likely to occur between master ami workmen , and not _unfrequently are they attended with feelings which prevent either party from

      taking a calm and dispassionate view of the matter or proposing terms which a disinterested party would consider to be fair and equitable . While there was no hoard of mediation to take such matters up , by inquiring into the grounds of _difference , proposing terms of reconciliation of a fair and equitable character , and endeavouring to bring the parties to a correct understanding , they were left to be dctermined by time and chance , and , generally , both parties were sufferers . Now , as 6 oon as such cases occur with any of our Association ' s members , it becomes our legitimate business to make all necessary inquiry into the real merits of the matters in dispute , and to propose terms of

      conciliation accordingly . The many eases we have already successfully conciliated to the satisfaction of both parties , must be regarded as proof of the interest we take in effecting negotiations only on terms that are likely to give entire satis / action to the aggrieved party , and such as reason and truth will support ; and , consequently , which are likely to prove the most lasting and satisfactory . But if even either party should entertain a secret selfish wish for an opposite decision , more io accordance with their own interests , and regardless of reason and . truth , they will not openly avow sucb a feeling . However improperly such persons might be disposed to act , so lone as their conduct was unobserved bv anv but

      the persons who were sufferers by their injustice , there are few , indeed , who are so utterly destitute of -hame as to defend unjust proceedings while the public are cognisant of their existence . For all the purposes , therefore , of effecting reasonable , equitable and satisfactory mediation between masters and workmen of any business or in any part of the country , our Association has already proved and established its disposition and ability , and every day its influence is becoming stronger . The public have Riven it a character , which its members will sec it is

      their duty and interest to support . That character has been principally acquired during the year now terminating . The executive officers have during the year exerted their utmost efforts to discharge faithfully the trust committed to their care , and to prove themselves worthy of the confidence reposed in them . How far their proceedings have been satisfactory to the members of the Association throughout the country , the members themselves are best able to judge , and they will shortly have an opportunity of giving expression to the opinions they

      entertain . In conclusion , we would again remind . _otir members of the duty which we have on former occasions pointed out for each and all of them to perform whenever and wherever opportunity offers , vi _—directing the attention of their neighbours , friends , and fellow-workmen of the existence and efficiency of the Association as an institution which is founded for tlie specific purpose of benefiting the working classes , by promoting the emancipation of industry , securing an equitable compensation for labour , and employing surplus labour , which _objects all working men are deeply interested in ; and as the cause concerns all , it requires the interest of all , and therefore we ardently recommend the subject of the existence , objects and efficiency of our Association to the consideration of all the working classes throughout the length and breadth of the land .

      The Central Committee Of Thc Above Flour...

      The Central Committee of thc above flourishing institution held their usual meeting on Monday , and , by adjournment , to Tuesday , T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed , the finaucial accounts read and received . Amongst other correspondence was a letter from the female silk powerloom weavers of Manchester , informing the central committee that their employers had offered a considerable reduction in their already scanty wages , and asking their mediation they immediately appointed Mr Williamson to proceed to Manchester for that purpose , anel also to call at Wilmslow to make the necessary arrangements to employ thirty-two

      haudloom weavers , who are suffering a reduction from Iheir ' employers , and to arrange for The employment or support of the men now in the employ of the Messrs Stocks and Tait , of Stockport , bleachers . Mr Robson reported he had been to Oxford at the request of the _shoemakers of that town , lie found there was no fixed statement of wages , each employer giving what he pleased , or nearly so ; the men had prepared a first and second-rate statement , which was submitted to the employers - With the exception of a few of the most respectable masters in the city , who were giving first-rate wages , he is happy to say that , except in one solitary instance , the whole of thc employers agreed to pay the price sent in to them by the men , Hie exception being a

      gentleman named Sims , who has a first-rate trade , and is enabled to undersell the respectably employer in the city by giving the workmen less wages ; the Association , therefore , have no alternative but to allow the respectable employers , employing nearly fifty men , to reduce their wages to lUr ' Situs ' s standard , or to compel him to give thc same wages as they do : tha Association have therefore resolved to send down to Oxford the materials necessary to employ the men lately in the employ of that " gentleman , until he ploases to give the _^ same wages as tbe other masters , the great principle of the Association being to protect the honest , respectable , and liberal employer , against the grasping , avaricious , and tyrannical of tlieir own class . Since the above was

      in . type , Mv Sims of Oxford has given in to tne men . Hurrah for the National Association and its principles of employment 1 Hfe has been enabled to defy the men for the last IS years .

      PERTH . —Wednesday , a public meeting of block printers was held at the Large Room at Huntingtower to hear a lecture from Mr Jacobs , which had the effect of Joining this body to the Association : a resolution to join , and send off the first month ' s contributions and levies on Monday next , was carried unanimously . LEITH . —On Thursday a public meeting of the trades and working classes generally was held at the Temperance-hall , Mr llollis in the chair .

Mr Jacobs then entertained his auditory with a feast of facts on union ,

      past , present , and the future progress under tbe most perfect system of union that can be effected b . v national association and self-government _, lie sat down amidst the most enthusiastic rounds ot applause . Th * secretary of the Scotch Union Masons wished to ask , for the benefit of tbe members of his trade present , how thc Association could deal with masons in case of strike , as he said the English Masons' Union had sent out a delegate , who , from the same pulpit , had preached against the Association , and told them "it would do for shoemaker-, and the like of that , but not for masons . " Mr Jacobs asked what reasons be gave to support such assertions . The secretary replied , " the English delegate said the mason ' s was a trade that was employed by

      nr _. d for the aristocracy and upper class . " From this , said Mr J ., arc we to infer that the working class did not live in houses ? still , ho thought in Scotland and in pans of England a vast number of persons were employed building houses for the working class , aud as we get them better wages , they will be able to rent better houses , tor times are changing : the workers are getting wiser . Why , cargus O'Connor is building a whole town of stone for them in Worcestershire , and this ( the Trades ) Association has made an offer for 200 acres of minoral land in Scotland ; when the purchase is concluded they will set three hundred miners to work , and build a town on the surface for their families , ar . d such other as will be wanted with thera . ( Tremendous cheers . ) Would not this benefit the masons ? but he thouubt tbe

      masons ' strike it the Houses of Parliament and Nelson ' s monument should havo taught them a ies < on they should not so soon forget , — " that they wanted the support of all trades . " The secretary said , he thought so too , and thought that if a limited union would do , the delegate need not bs sent to Scotland , but stay at home aud unite only the English workmen . Mr llollis now showed striking samples ofthe Association ' s strike manufacture , which made a most striking impression on the meeting . A vote nf approval , and pledging the _meetii-f- to use their best exertions in uniting the several trades in Leith with the Association , was carried unanimously .

      TRADES' MOVEMENTS . LABOUR _1-TnEW YORK . ( From the New York Tribune . ) TI / S C-0 CK . U . KKB _.. Although Mr Samuel : > lick told a rery good story , and waB . li other respects a worthy acd companion _, able man , he was not much of a clock maker , ' . hi - ts a branch of business about which a great deal ia said and a very little generally known . _^ The following facts have been furnish-d us by a Yankee operator from Connecticut , who is cor . 8 idei . blc of a plock ' case' himself , and is familiar with the business ia all its details . ; .. ... ' ¦" no mi - mher of clocks manufactured m tins

      country is very great , and thc improvements m tho manufacture ofthe article introduced during the IaBt few years have materially reduced the price , as well as the wages of the operatives . _Connecticut , wc believe , is the only state in which clock movements are made . But ther © are many shops all oven the North where the cases aro manufactured . There are about tmnty of these in this city . The business thus consists of two distinct branches : the _cat-emakcr sells his cases to thc * movement ' maker , nr b _' . _u-H of him the movements , and puts them ia himself .

      Formerly the wheels for brass clocks were cast * then turned and smoothed with great labour ; now the brass comes rolled in plates of the proper thickness for the different wheels , and is pressed out—one motion ofthe prct-s bein _. sufficient to cut and center the wheel . This saves much time and money . There are quite a number of firms in Connecticut , that put up ready for market two hundred clocki per day , and they nre sold at two dollars to two dollars and fifty cents a _* piece , according to quality .

      The cases ( which are exteusively manufactured bere ) are sold for sixty to seventy-five cents each-Good mahogany and zebra cases , well made and _polished , can be _bou-.-ht now for sixty-five cents—the same quality of article as would have cost two dollarthree years ago . Thc wages cf workmen in the clock business are poor ; an experienced _and skilful hand cannot get more than one dollar or one dollar and twenty-five cents per day . A creat many young men and boys work at the _busines-s , who receive only from eight dollars to nine dollars per month .

      Tho movement or running part of clocks can _uov ? be bought for k _. s than one dollar apiece—three _ycars _' _ago they wwe worth 2 dollars aud 50 cents . The clocks were formerly sold at the south , bringing from twcnty . five dollars ta a hundred dollars -piece ; but of lute years the Southerners , either more knowing or less flush , purchase very few , and the universal Yankee nation has been for some tim . extensively engaged in supplying Great Britain with * improved patent brass clocks . ' Great numbers are also sent to the West India Islands , and more to China . Nearly al ! that are made arc now sent out ofthe country . There were three months ago pro * bn % three thousand clocks per day sent from the -tate of Connecticut ; but since that time many of the manufacturers have run down , owing to their _selling sn much on . ''c & , and the business has some * what fallen off .

      Reverse Of Fortune, Death, Of A Lady Fro...

      REVERSE OF FORTUNE , DEATH , OF A LADY FROM ALLEGED DESTITUTION . On Wednesday Mr Wakley held au inquest at the University College Hospital on the body ofa female , supposed about CO years of age , named Lydia And Downes , whose death took place under thc following circumstances . Thomas Delany . police-cor . stable 230 S , deposed that on Sunday night , about twelve o ' clock , he was on duty in Seymour-street _Euston-square , when he was sent for by the landlord of the Coronation publichouse _, and informed that there was a woman in his t-p-r _. _&* _ he feared dying . Witness went there , and found deceased lyins on _ene of the benches ip . an

      apparently dying state . The landlord said she cr . me in about ten o ' clock , and asked for half a piut of porter made hot , whieh she took with her into the _tap-room . Yv itness procured assistance , and brought deceased to that hospital , where stimulants were administered . She was insensible at the time , but rallied sufficiently to state that she lived in Johnsonstveet , Somers Town , but again relapsed into a state of insensibility , and died in an hour after . Sbe wns in _afrijlitfully emaciated and filthy condition . Mr Francis Cook , of Johnson-street , Somers Town , sa d tho deceased had occupied one ofthe top rooms of his house lor four years , for which she paid 2 s per week quarterly . She was an eccentric character _, and no human being had ever entered her apart

      ment but herself , until since her deatb , and from documents he had found , there was no doubt she hod been highly connected . Amofig tbem were receipted bills made out in the deceased ' s name , to the amount of £ 23 , 000 . One bill was for post-horses at a guinea per day , another .- € 100 for garden seeds ; but the most important were legal documents , showing that the _deceased had been the defendant in a Chancery suit , and that by an adverse _tlecision of the Court she had been entirely deprived ef very iarge estates in _Kortharaptonshirc . Another bill showed she had paid four guineas and a half for a white silk bonnet . Deceased was a tine and _liigh-spirited woman , and although she appeared in the deepest poverty , sbe would never ask a favsur . lie believed deceased was a recipient of some annuity , which she obtained fr . m

      the Strand somewhere , but he could not tell _vfbere-It must , however , havo been very small , She always paid her rent punctually , and a quarter was due on tbe 27 th inst . Deceased left home on Sunday _nifiht , about ten o ' clock . On entering her apartment siDco death , a frightful scene of misery presented itself , thc whole of the furniture consisting of a broken table and chair , and a mat , which served as a bed . The floor was sole deep in filth , and on the mattress being moved , it was one mass of vermin . There was no property , or a particle of food , clothing , or firing in the place . The jury returned a verdict , " That deceas ed died trom natural causes , but whether from exhaustion produced by the want of common necessaries of life , there was not sufficient evidence to show .
