      A VINDICATION of the Principles , Objects and TendeDeies of TRADES UNIONS , or Associations of the "Working Classes . By a TJkioxist . Irondon : J . A . Forsyth , Secretary to the Friendly Society of Operative Carpenters , 4 , Charles-street , Hatton-Garden , and Hobson , Jsurthern Star Office , Leeds . This is a sensible well written Treatte . It contains more sound sense in a few pages than can be gleaned out of the numerous bulky volumes of-the scribblers on political economy , whose works are popular \ rith _ the locusts of the commonwealth . TYe give the following summary cf principles from the commencement of the book , and shall only further add , ihst They are abl y sustained and well carried out through the book .

      1 st . The earth and sea constitute the original capita } of Trhicii every human toeing is a rightful proprietor . ' 2 nd- Labour is the useful or productive exercise of our muscular and nervous energies . SrcL So man has a right to that which he does not produce k for which he does not return an equivalent . ' _ 4 th . The amount of unconsamed production constitutes the fabricated or artificial capital , of which the producers alone are the rightful proprietors . These are truths immutable as man ' s existence , tut -which have hitherto b * en altogether neglected or ovt-rlcvked Jhroughvzi ail his arrangements of -whatever tend ; -with which let us contrast the foundation of that felse theory on -which he has trez acted , and -which"hasprored the source of every evD with irhkh hs is and has ever been afflicted . According then to lajs false system of the world , . 1 st- Ji ^ " * x * - sea *» % original capital , of which a if w indivi 5 ual 3 , in comparison with the great mass uf mankind are the actvd proprietors . ~ " ' 2 nd .

The amount of unconsumed production constitutes the iabriatei or artificial capital , of which the non-producers are the 2 ctnil possessors . . - An 3 shi 3 J we wonder that , acting on these false conceptions sf things , the whole world has been involved in irretrievable irretcheiDtas and wrong ?

      A PRACTICAL EDUCATION . Obedient to this summons there ranged thKoselves in front of the school-master ' s desk , . half-a-dozen scsrecTo-ars . out at knees and elbows , oae of -whom placed a tom and filthy book beneatk bis learned eje . ' This is the first class in English spelling and philosophy , Nictleby , ' said Squeers , bectoning . Nicholas to stand beside him . 'We'll get-up a Larin one , and hand that over to you . Now . then , there ' s the first boy ? ' 'Please , Sir , he ' s cleaning the hack parlour window , ' said the temporary head ^> f lie philosophical class . * So he is , to be " sure , ' rejoined Squeers .

      Third boy , -what ' s a horse ? ' 'A beast Sir . ' replied theboy . . * So it is / said Squeers . * Ain ' t it Nicklesy ? * I "beEe-re there is no donbt ef that , Sir . " answered Nicholas . i Of course there isn ' t , ' said Squeers . ' A horse Is a quadruped , and quadruped ' s Latin for beast , as every body thars gone throngh thg grammar knows , or else where ' s the use of having grammars at all ? ' Where , inde .-d ! ' said Nicholas abstractedly . * Asyou ' re perfect in that , ' resumed Squeers , turning to the boy , * go and look after my iorse , and rnb him down well , or 111 rub yon down . The rest of the class go and draw water up till soidpbody tells you to leave oS , for it ' s washing day Tomorrow , and they want the coppers filled . ' So ing

      say ne dismissed the first class to their experiments in practical philosophy , and eyed Nicholas with a look half cunning and half donbiful , as if he -vrereTiot altogether certain what " he might think of him by * hi ? tnne . 'That ' s the way ye do it , Nickleby , ' ha said , after a long pause . Nicholas shrugged his shoulders in a manner that was scarcely perceptible , and said he saw it wa ^ . 4 And avery good way it is too , ' said Squeers . 4 Now . just take those fourteen little boys and hear them some reading , because you know youinustbegin to be useful . ' and idling about here won ' t do . ' Mr . Squeers said \ this as if it had suddenly occurred to him , either that he must not say too much to his assistant , or that his

      assistant did not say enough to him in praise of the establishment The children -were ranged in a semiarcle round the new master , and he -was soon nstening to their dull , drawling , hesitating recital of « iose nones of engrossing interest which are to be found in the more antiquated spelling book * . In this exciting occupation the morning lagged heavily on . ^ At one o ' clock , the boys having previously had their appetites thoroughly taken away by stir-about and potatoes , sat down in the kitchen to some hard Kit beef , of -which Nicholas was graciously permitted to take his portion to his own solitary desk , and to eat there in peace . After this there was another hour of crouching in the Bchool-room and

      snivenng with cold , and then school began again . It was Squeer ' s custom to caB the boys together , and make a sort of report after every half-yearly visit to the metropolis regarding the relations and friends he had seen , the news he had heard , the letters he had brought down , the bills which had been paid , the amounts which had been left unpaid , and so forth . This solemn proceeding always took place in the afternoon of the day succeeding his return } perhaps because the boys acquired strength of mind from the mspense oi the morning , or possibly because « ^ SP 6 ^ 13 himself acquired 1 greater sternness and Bmeabihty from certain warm potation * in which - ue-tfas wont to indulge afW Ins fiarhr ^ innpr ; "Re

      Expressive Simile . —The following description of a small room will appear very poetic to an English reader . "I am now , " says ' a Turkish spy ( writing to his employers , ) "in an apartment so little , that the least suspicion cannot enter . it " PuoxAciTy . — In noticing a number of children , we may easily distinguish between those who are only occasionally passionate , and those who have an almost constant tendency to be quarrelsome . The specimens of the first kind will colour up , cry , and call out when under an angry fit , and in this manner exhaust themselves and the feeling at the same time ; the second example may also express in

      a similar manner , but it will not do so passively , for , when once o £ Fended , it will have recourse to blows , or scratching , or biting . Suc-h irascible children shew their pugnacity on all occasions . They refuse to do any thing they are required to do , and always appear-to -delight in contradiction ; yet it would be the most egregious folly to strike or threaten them , for in such cases the little crearures are sure to lift thtir handj and with extraordinary daring strike again . It is a difficult task to deal properly with such tempers , or to legislate for the little tyrant of the nursery ; because he is insensible to kindness or persuasion , and will exercise an overbearing sway , and seize with lawless selfishness upon the

      toys and playthings of his brothers or sisters , not so iHuc-h from a desire of possession as from mere leve of contention ; and should force be employed in return , " then conies the tug of war , ' '—pulling , pushing , crying , and kicking tc get possession , —one child claiming the toys by right of property , and the other by the right of the strongest , and from his having accidentally possessed himself of them . The best plan in such a case is to ascertain to whom the property really belong * , and to make restitution accerdinely , impressing upon the aggressor the evil ol injustice , and upon the aggrieved party the more noble conduct of forbearance and kindness in similar circumstances . It would be well to avoid exciting the combative principle at any time ; but how are

      we to avoid it ? For , it oiten occurs that children who are naturally pugnacious will evince their inverate tendency that way by refusing to hare what they at first cried for ; and , when such children are out of health , they act so much from mere opposition that they will almost make the mostpatien irritable . If food be placed before such a child , he pushes it from him or throws it down : take it away , and he cries for it : give it to him again and he renews the first proceedings . In such cases , after two or three trials , the child should be removed from the table into another Toom , and told that as sonn as there is a sign of better conduct he may Teturn . —Mental Culture , or the means of developing the human faculties , ly J .

      Transmigration of Sori-s . —Among the oldest conceptions philosophically carried out by the Hindoos , the doctrine of the transmigration of souls and the means of terminating its wanderings is , undoubtedly , to be included . It is not unlikely that the doctrine originally grew out of the conception of the perpetual flux of the powers of nature , and their change * from one into another ; and , -herefore , it may have been at first conceived in a purely material point of view . Subsequently , however , it was underr stood in a more spiritual sense . The migration of souls was regarded by the Hindoos as a state of unrest and unhappiness ; since the soul was held bv it constantly subject to the power of death , and

      exposed to the toil of unceasing transmutations . " With this there naturally connected itself a moral interpretation of life . This people seem to have been sensitively impressed -with the sinfulnes * of man , of the guilt with which he isbnrdened ; and , on this account , singularly possessed by a deep and solemn dread of the penalty -which awaits him at the eternal re . tHtration . To this source must be referred the prayers so constantly Tecuning in all the ceremoriies of India worship for pardon and preservation from sin . Hence , too , the opinion of the meritoriousness of expiations , and the extreme rigour , of their penances . Ho-r- , then , could they be any charm in a life which was looked upon as an expiation for infinite transgressions of an extremely minute ceremonial law ? On this account , we find , from the oldest

      times and in the eldest Hindoo works , a continual longing to be emancipated from this migration of tfee soul , and the desire of happiness conceived as perfect fest The only means ef this emancipation are , as already stated , sacrifice and other ceremonial observances , particularly penance and the horse-sacrif . ee . In the more recent philosophemes of the Hindoos we find , indeed , another mean , viz ., knowledge , free from all that is sensible , and exalted to the contemplation of the Infinite . That this mean was also acknowledged by the very earliest philosophers of the Hindoos is evinced by the constant injunction n the Upanisehads of internal meditation , and of a -profound and constant reflection on the being and nature of God . —Hitter ' s History of Ancient Philosophy . **

      Rotal Pastime . —Two poor mortals , elevated with the distinction of a golden bauble on their heads , called a crown , take offence at each other , witKout any reason , or with the very bad one of wishing for an opportunity of aggrandizing themselves by making reciprocal depredations . The ereatures of the court , and the leading men of the nation , -who are usually under the infineace of the court , resolve ( for it is their interest ) to support their royal master , and are never at a . loss to invent some colourable pretence for engaging the nation in the horrors of w ? r . Taxes of the most burdensome kind are levied ; soldiers are collected ; reviews and encampments succeed ; and at last fifteen or twenty thousand men meet on a plain , and coolly shed each other ' s blood , without the smallest personal animosity or the shadow of a provocation . The kings , in the

      mean time , and the grandees , who have employed those poor innocent victims to shoot bullets at each other ' s heads , remain quietly at home , and amuse themselves in the intervals of balls , hunting-schemes , and pleasures of every gpecies , with reading at the fire-side , and over a cup of chocolate , the dispatches of the army , and the news in the extraordinary Gazette . It may be we have left a thousand of the enemy dead on the field of battle , and only nine hundred of our countrymen . Charming news !—k was a glorious victory I But before you give a loose to your raptures , pause awhile ; and consider , that to every one of these 1900 slain , life was no less sweet than it is to you ; that to the far greater part of them there probably were wives , fathers , mothers , sons , daughters , sisters , brothers , and friends , all of whom are at this moment bewailing that event -which occasions your foolish and brutal triumph .

      KOMTJLtTS AND KUMA , THE FIRST KlNGS of Home . —Bomulus , the founder of Home , was a warrior ; and he so diffused his spirit among his people , that " every Roman was a soldier . " This people was described by Plutarch as having become "hard as iron by war . " Numa Pompilius succeeded Romulus . He was averse to war , and a lover of peace . "When the people requested him to become their king , he objected on the ground of their love of war and his love of peace . But they urged till he finally accepted ; and by his wisdom and prudence , and by diffhsing his own spirit and principles among the

      people , he wrought a wonderful change in their character . From a nation of warriors they became anation of agriculturalists and peaceable citizens . Numa succeeded in bealing the dissensions among his own people , and became the object of admiration , and the arbiter of differences to the surrounding tribeg of barbarians . During a long reign , this amiable prince occasioned the Romans to enjoy the . blesrings of uninterrupted peace . "When he died they lamented him as if every man had lost his own father ; and the concourse of strangers to Rome to celebrate his obsequies was exceedingly great . — HcoAe ' s History of Home .

      The World Insolvent . —Some time ago , a publisher of periodicals applied" for his discharge in the Insolvent Court , and described himself as "Proprietor of The World !!!

Use of Birch . —A writer on school discipline says , " -without a liberal use of the rod , it is impossible to make boys smart . "

      Presence of Mind . —If you should happen to meet with an accident at table , endeavour to preserve your composure , and do not add to the discomfort you have created by making an unnecessary fuss about it I remember ' hearing it told of a very accomplished gentleman , that when carving a touph goose , he had the misfortune to send it entirely out of the dish , and into the lap of a Indy next to " him , on which , he very coolly looked h-r full in the lace ' , and said , " j \ la " um , I will thank you lor that fioose .

Some furnish rooms for the foreigners and a Proper place , for their horses they are prepared accordingly . " Equivocal Compliment . —General Foss , an

      American officer and supporter of Negro emancipation , upon a recent occasion made a very animated address on behalf of the coloured population . A dinner was given subsequently to the General , when one of the sable guests being called upon for a toast , was desirous of conveying by the sentiment he should give that the General , though he was a white man , was nevertbeles-i full of sympathy for the Negroes . He therefore rose and " gave , " Massa General Foss , he have white skin , but very black hp : irt . "

      Judas axd his Sop . —Dr . Styles , in commenting on the perfidy of Judas in betraying nis divine master , said " the sop that he received was soaked in the lake of brimstone by the arch enemy of souls before he received it , that it might lull his conscience to sleep . " " Well , " observed Hook , " that was indeed a sop-horrific !" ^ A Timely Repartee . —A soldier of Marshal Saxe ' s arin y ^ being discovered in a theft , was condemned to be hanged . "What he had stolen might be worth five shillings . The marshal meeting them as he was being led to execution , said to . him '' "What a miserable fool you were , to risk your life for five shillings !"— "Central" replied the soldier , ' -I have risked it every day for five pence . " This repartee saved his life .

      A Woman ' s Promise . —Queen Elizabeth seeing a gentleman in her garden , who had not felt the effects of her javour so . soon as he expected , looking out of her window , said to him in Italian , " What does a man think of , Sir Edward , when he thinks of nothing ? " After a little pause he answered , " He thinks , madam , of a icoman ' s promise . " The Queen felt the reproof , and as she drew back , was heard to say , "Well , Sir Edward , I must not confute you . Anger makes dull mtn witty , but it keeps them poor . " Honour . —A Welshman , bragging of his family , said his father's effigy was set up in Westminster Abbey . Being asked in what part of it , he replied , ' In the same monument with 'Squire Thynne ' s , for he was his coachman . '

      Benefit of Counsel . —The uses of cross-examination were rather unmercifully exposed by Judge Parke , upon the trial of some rioters , when a learned gentleman , concerned for one of the prisoners , asked some questions affecting another man , who had no counsel employed . "He is not your client , " said the judge . " He is mine—do not hang my cb ' whatever you may do to your own . " This was passing sentence upon the unfortunate pleader , at all event ? .

      Modesty . —An Irishwoman once called upon an apothecary with a sick infant , when he gave her some powder , of which he ordered as much as would lie oii a sixpence to be given every morning .

" Charles the Second's Comment ox Rochester's Epitaph . —Charles the Second , in a gay moment , asked Lord Rochester to write his epitaph , which he did immediately , as follows : — Here lies the mutton-eating king , Whose word no man relied on ; Who never said a foolish thing , Nor ever did a wise one .

      Charles , who always relished a joke , on being shown this epitaph , wrote the following comment upon it : —

      If death could speak , the king would say , In justice to bis crown , His acts they were his minister ' s , His words they were Mb own V Miracles . —A priest , in extreme poverty , resolved to get credit for a miracle . He put the yolks of several eggs into a hollow cane , and stopped the end with butter ; then walking into an alehouse , he begged to fry a single egg for his dinner . The smallness of his repast excited curiosity , and they gave him a morsel of lard ; he stirred the lard with his cane , and , to the wonder of the surrounding peasants , produced a handsome omelet . This miracle established his fame . He sold omelets , and grew rich by his ingenuity .

      Words akd Deeds . — Those who expect to find good principles in persons who utter good sentiments , will sometimes be as much disappointed as the monkey that clawed at his shadow in a mirror : they may be misled by a just reflection , as he was . The Man and the Moon . —During the wane of the last moon , Johnny Frost , aliai Knight of the Jack-Plane , of Sandal , went toddling horns about two o'clock in the morning , somewhat giddy in his upper story . Tibby , his better half , of course had retired to roost ; Johnny , not being pleased at that , sat down before the fire in a pet , and fell fast asleep . In about an hour's time he awoke , and

      found himself all in the dark , except a small speck of light , which he took to be the remains of the once bright fire . After feeling about for a short time , he found the bellows , the pipe of which he put into the keyhole of the door , taking it for the fire-grate , and commenced blowing with all his might . Tibby , on hearing a strange noise , hastened down stairs to see what was amiss , and on seeing her husband behind the door , exclaimed , " Johnny , wotiver ista doin ?" " Wha , " . responded Johnny , in a surly tone , " Am blawin t'fire up ta be sure , can ' t ta see ?

      LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Monday , June 18 . There has been a heavy fall of rain since this day se ' nnight , with a more genial temperature , and it unow very warm and growing weather . From Essex * Kent , and Suffolk , the supply of Wheat was moderately good , but of BarW , Beans , itnd Peas , irom all these counties , very limited . There was a fair fresh arrival of Oats for this day ' s . markflt , principally from Ireland , having scarcely any either English pr Scotch up since Friday . Very high prices being demanded for Wheat at the opening of this dav s market , early trahsactions were materially checked , and it was not until the rates of Friday were submitted to that our niiUerscotumenced to piu-chaae , when a fair demand took 1 place , but the advance on the currency of this day sii'nnight cannot generally be quoted more than 2 s perqr . Bonded Wheat was 3 s to 4 s per qr . dearer , with many buyers of this article . Town-made Flour was Dartiallv fixt-n

      atbOs per sack , but the trade was not unanimous in the advance ( good marks ex-ship were held Is to 2 s per sack higher . Barley , Beans , and Peas realised full as much , with » moderate sale for all these articles . Malt was without any alteration in value . There was a fair sale for Oats ; at about the rates of this day se'nnight ; for although the quantity from Ireland continnei pretty extensive , so few come from our own coast and Scotland , and the consumption being very great the factors show no inclination to aubmit to lower rates . Supplins from Ireland may now fall off , ' and in consequence , a better trade will be experienced . Linseed and Rapeseed were much the same as last week ? [ If the fanners have any idea that they can stop , or even check , the importation of foreign ^ Wheat , theymustsupply the markets better and more quickly than they are accustoined to do at ttns season ol the year , particularly as prices from week iu cojui io

      » re * nue aavance , an * are now at a satisfactory and remunerating point to encourage them to part with till they hold , for the stocks being so low in . the nierchanta' and factors' hands , foreign must be liberated before harvest ata / ow duty ^ unless the farmers have it in theu- power to supply thb trade largely , which -will be doubled should not a greater quantity come forward almost immediatel y .

      NbWGATE AND LEaDENHALL MARKETS , ( Mommy ; Exceedingly small quantities of all kinds of slaughtered meat have arrived hither for sale since this day se ' nnight , yet the supply , which has been large , and chiefly killed in the metropolis , has proved quite adequate to the demand . The first consignment of live Lambs , transmitted for the purpose of being slaughtered and disposed of without appearing in Smithfield , has arrived from Scotland , the number being 115 , the wholfi of which have proved of superior quality , but very low prices were obtained tor them , from 4 s odper Slbs . being the highest quotation noted . Only about 12 Beasts , and 40 live Sheep have been received by sea from Aberdeen for that purpose . The comparative falling off in the number of live » t » ck lately received from Scotland , is chiefly ascribed to the returns having been for some time past by no means remunerating in fact , many persons who are usually in the habit of sending their live stock ; here , have intimatftd that so great are the expenses necessarily , attendant On the shipping of cattle , they amounting on each bullock to jP 3 10 s , that they have , in several instances , lost money by their speculatipn . Hence , they are not disposed at present to risk then-capital . This morning the supply of meat was good , whilst the trade was , on the whole , dull .
