      The Seizube of Messrs .

Smith , of Whittchapel , haB been carried into effect by four chief examiners of Excise , aided by several inf-rier , Seers . This further step has not only created a great sensation amoDgst the numerous tavern-keepera aud proprietors ot spirit establishments in the metropolis tnd suburbs , fcnt has also given rise to much conversation in tbe commercial and monetary circus . From the be » t information that can be obtained npon the subject , it appear * , that in eonstquence of the Excise

      | Commissioners having for some time past suspected npon what grounds have not transpired beyond the firm ret ailing spirits » t a superior stnngth and lower price than other distillers—that . Messrs . Smith have not been in the habit of accounting for the full amount of duty payable npon their stock , tbe Board of Excise ordered that a most vigilant watch should be kept upon their establishments . For some time pm an Excise ifflcer had been appointed to be constantly npon the premhes , and the workmen of Messrs . Smith were forbidden to hold any communication with him on pain ef . dismissal The first step adopted against the firm was about three

      ino . itns since , when tbe Excise se : zad twenty pnncheoDS of fin , and conveyed them to the Government stores in Broad street ; but upon the subsequent representations of Messrs . Smith , tbe GommUtiomra ordered fifteen of tbe number , with their contents , to be returned . The remaining five were retained for tbe purposes of ulterior proceedings , In the meantime reports were from time to time made to the Commissioners of the operations carried forward at the distillery and rectifylng-houge , and consultations were held by tbe legal advisers of tbe Board with the Solicitor-General and other eminent members of the b > r . which led to the determination on

      tbe part of the Commissioners having recourse to energetic and decisive measures . The deUvs of the legal conferences have not been suffared to transpire , and in all probability will not ranch the public eye outil the whole matter cornea on for public bearing before the B irons of tbe Court of Exrtnqusr The object , bowever , which the Commissioners bad in view may be gathered from the fact that officers and others have b « en employed to dig up the paving-stones around Messrs . Smith's extensive premises , and pipes hats been discovered concealed about three feet from tho surface of the earth , connecting the distillery with tbe rectifying'boBse , which ia contrary to the provisions of the various Ac ' s of Parliament regulating such matters . Tbe Cummisaioners having ordered a complate

      stoppage of the works , the dUtiliery now presents a gloomy and wretched contrast to the active bustling scene which it presented when in full working order , and tbe deep trenches dug out in front and around it ! exposing' the objectionable pipes to view , are objects daily of increased public attraction . The loaa to the firm by the stoppage uf the works must be a severe one , acd Messrs .

      BRIGHTON . —On Monday , the 18 th nit , Jotin "ETpson , a local preacher in tbe Wcsleyan Methodist connexion , who s . ood remanded from lost Monday , was brought np and fiualiy committed to tnkti ha trial on the charge of violating the person of a child , between the age of eight and nine years ( his own niece ) . The child » nd the pmonvra wife ate both lab-urinR under a loathsome distttse , for which tbey are indebted to this saint . Fuigbtpul Scaffold accidem—Oa Saturday , shout j . uoii , several men were employed upon some scaflold'ng erected in front of a house In Sdllington-* trtbt , Vauxhsll Road . It appears that a cornice , which had just been fixed near tbe summit of tbe building , suddenly gave way , and fell upon the scaffoldiuR and workmen . Tne former wbb in consequence broken away , and the unfortunate wen with it were precipitated to the ground . Several persons who witnessed the occurrence ran t « the assistance of those beneath the fallen ma « s . and five individuals were , in

      a short time , removed tb . tr . efroui , to all appearance , dead or dying . The first was a feniaie , whose name was ascertained to be Clack , and , on her being conveyed to a Burgeon's it was discovered that she had escaped with only present deprivation of consciousness , and a few slight bruises by some of the materials falling upon her as she wjb passing underneath . She was in a short time enabled 10 proceed to her own residence , bnt the unfoitunate men . named George Goodman , aged forty ; George Goodman , jun ., ( sonof tbe former ) , aged seventeen ; Thomas ( Joble , aged tbitty-four ; and William Baker , Rgtd forty , were so muob injured , thut bo time was lost in conveying the three fomur to St . Georges Hospital , anvl tbo latter to Westminster Hospital , where tbey remain with at present but Blight hopes of their recovery . The cause of tbe catastrophe is stated to have its origin in the dense humidity of the weather , which did not ptrmit the work to set sufficiently to bear its own weight .

      Gentlemen . —Tht midress of tbe dffjrent branches of thti Building Trj !» s , sheweth , that in ths eveut of yo-nr fsubHshing i-. fF ? rrut 'ui ^ s from thas which has already been tbe established right of the joiners and other branches of the building department for almost time immemorial , the various brunches clearly see the result , and earnestly entreat j ou to adopt only what the other firn . s in Manchester one and all pursue . In the first place , Gentlemen , allow us to state that should > ou stiil persist in jciur present course without resistance , and thouid you succeed in so doing , you ; - ; rike a blaw at the artisans tb « y will ever have cause to lament ; and at no distant period the sam « system may be ynur own downfall , the utter annihilation of our rctpecttve trades , and tbe eutire ruin of the less weal . by employer .

      Yuu are , G-Dtlemsn , we are sorry to say , the only firm thai have ever tried , aa yet , to filch from ua the little privileges we enjoy . Honourable gentlemen , we presume , will not be so blind as brted such confusion in society mereiy for the sake of their own enrichment , aud the ruin of 'X > i r . riisaos . We , thb J-ifltrent delegates representing our respective tradss , visa you sines-rely to give this address the consideration due to its merits . We bop * to have the pleasure of couunvmic ^ tins ? your acquiescen ce to the rules of the trade , v . bichthe cirpentergnnd joiners have so long ecjojpd . The Uaitert Building Trades will then b « grateful for the conceptions made by tte firm of PjnJing , BuDfrey , and Co . This address has been adopted by all branches of the Building Trade , through their respective iBpresentatlvus in general meeting JiBBrniblerl . Thomas Barrow , Chairman . To Measr 8 . Pauling , Heafrey , aad Co .

      The delegates were met by the police authorities who demanded their names and their place of residence ; after which tbey proceeded to the office of Messrs , PjnliDK , Henfry , and Cowipany . At the counting-house door tbey were met by . Mr . Sfca * ps and Mr . Pauling , who said that they would not receive any written addr * 98 from a body got np for the purpose of intimidation . This the delegates denied . Tbey said that there conld bt > no intimidation intended , inasmuch as the procession had not left the high roid , nor as much as baited . Me . « sra Sharps acd PauliDi ; said that they had no oYjsction to receive a deputation from eneh of the Trades teat had anything to complain of . Tbe delegates said they were snch deputation , for they were tho representatives of . the variou . 8 Trades connected with the

      building business . They wire then admitted into one of Mr . Pauling ' s rooms . The procession continuing its route , by StrelfV > rd New-road , Oxford-road , Mosaleystreet , Ohlbam-stTeet , to Stevenson ' e-square , where tbey waited the arrival of * be delegates , and then proceeded down Lever-street , Portland-street , Garret-road , to the Carpenters' Hall . The procession was one of tbe most numerous , respectable , and best conducted ever seen in connection with tbe Trades of Manchester . There conld not be ltss than from four to five thousand persons in it , to say m thing of the thousands that accompanied it ; and one particular circumstance we noticed that from first to last there was not a drunken man to be seen . We must now return to tbe delegates in Mr . Pauling ' s room . They where ushered in , in

      company with Captain Willis , the bead of the police fores ; ijr . Beiwick , Mr . Sawley , and Superintendent Taylor j and when they got in , there were two or three reporters present to take down all that passed . Mr . Sharps took the chair ; something like a chief-magistrate in a court of justice , and in fact acted as such by announcing , in a very solemn tone , that they were now ready to bear what they had got to say ; bnt they must notice this fact , that what they did say would be taken down in writing , and might b > 3 used in another place on another day . A rinmber of questions were then put to the delegates , the drift of which was to endeavour to fix on the ^ Darpeaters * Unwn the onus of compelling their " rn'irs to strike , They said that eighty-six of their men h id agreed to work according to their rules , and then

      Untitled Article

      tbe club bad compelled t&em to strike . Mr . Bellhouse said that was not correct , for when the trade heard of their intention

      Bellhonee—Are the men you now have at work working according to those rules ? " No , " was the answer , " we bsve made a particular agreement » » th those men . " Mr . BVllhouBe- — Are yeii agreeable tb&V your men shall commence working according to the Manchester mies ? «• We will not , tieat with apy depntfc Uon ; it any of out own men , er any other men , will come and aslt for work , we will tell them what rules tbi lym . ust woik by . " Mr . Sharps said that they had never known a firm which bore his name that was opposed to the interests of tbe working classes , nor tbat did no t pay as good wages as any firm in the town . Mr . Bellh ouse said that he had nothing to Bay against the firms bearing his name j but this day they had learnt th . nt he ( Mr . Sharps ) waB much interested in tba firm o . f Pauling ,

      Ht-nfrey , and Co , and that firm bad done much in opposition to the best interests of the working men in Manchester . Oae ot tbe brkk-wakera , in answer to the question of what had they to complain of ? said they had nothing at present bnt they hao . had enough . O , B&td Mt . Pauling , with » hellUh grit' on bis countenance , yon , have bad enough have you ? * Mr . Pauling then began to road a lecture about the injm-y of strikes , and tbe distress they brought upon ttieir families , &c , when Mr . Thos . Whittaker asked what they were to < lo when their rights we » e being taken from thflm une after another 1 Were they to let them walk ever them and not say tbey are doing wrong ? Mr . Pauling said they paid good wages and found their men plenty of work . Mr . Whittaker—Suppose

      you do pay good wages , suppose you pay 26 a per w , eek , whioh is the general wages of Manchester , we have it on tbe oath of Mr . Henfrey , and Mr . Maude has it , that you ate wanting 114 hours labour from each man in your employment every year more than the other masters , and this is a serious reduction of wa |> es . Mr . Sharps—Have you taken into account the VASt amount . of money you have lost in wages by losing this day ' s work ? Mr . Bellhouse—That is our business , and we don ' t think that we shall ask for anything out Of your pocket towards it . The deputation then left , after ascertaining that tbe firm was determined to continue the contest of wrong against right , and lo act the part of oppressors as long as they had the puwsr to do so . At about four o ' clock

      in the afternoon , the procession arrived at its destination , and tbe Trades having assembled in the hall , Mr . Bolthouae was unanimously called upon to preside , who opened the meeting by giving an account of tho interview tho deputation had had with the titm of Pauiiag it Co ., and cancludtid by calling upon Thomas Whittaker , joiner , to move tbe first resolution . Mr Wbitttikt-r , oa coming forward , was much applauded . He said be was proud of the manner in which tbe building trades of Manchester had conducted themselves that day . It was pleasing to see the unanimity which animate ! tbe Whole . It had been said that " union was strength , and knowledge was power , " and be believed it : therefore by the combined intelligence and the uaited energies ot the wnolo of tbe

      building trades , they would not only be » Me to contend with Messrs Pauling , but all those who in future dared to infringe upon the rights of the bbourer . Ha would conclude by reading tht * resolution which he held in his hand— "Tbat we , the members of thu various branches of the bnilding trades in public meeting assembled do sanction tbo resolutions agreed to by the deputies appointed from our different branches -, namely , to unite ourselves together for tbe muiu . il support of each , and for upholding aud obtaining the legitimate rights and privileges of labour . " fla ;> Jr . Whittaker ; bad much pluoauro in moving that resolution . Mr . Maxwell , joiner , in seconding tbe resolution « o ably moved by Mr . Whittaker , said that be was proud of having an opportunity of addressing

      a meeting of tbe whol « nf the Building Trades . The decorous manner in which they bud conducted themselves during tho day , reflected credit upon themselves and all t '> at were connected with then . Mr . Pauling ban asked what tbe other Building Trades had to do With the differences of the carpenters and joiners ? They had every thing to do with it . If one of the ' 1 rides were injured the whole were insulted . Pauling was dead beat , and the sooner he gave in tbe better it would he for himself . Tbo way he would prove it was this—ho h ;» d sent out what he called his " Pets ' '' to the Ashton Barracks to work ; but this duy they Juid down their tools and came and joined in the procession—( this ann < uncenitnt was received with repeated rounts of cbeersi—and likewise some of the Scotchmen had

      left this mcming . Mr . Maxwell concluded by seconding the resolution , which passed unanimously . Mr . Holland , bricklayer , in a few brief remarks , moved tbe next resolution , which was as follows : — " That we , the various Building Trades , in general meeting assembled , do agree to ask cur fellow workmen to withdraw from the employ of Messrs . Pauling , HenfrBy , & Co ., or their sub-COQtractors , until they agree to the just dewnnds of the carpenters and joiners , acd we hereby pledge ourselves tJ support them by a general kvy . " Mr . M'G'iee , p-iinttr , in briefly second ) ig Ihe resolution said that the firm of Pauling , Henfrey , and Co . bad made the same attack upon them . As a bofly , it was a rule with them to go to work from the 17 ch of November until Candlemas , when tbey could

      8 m- in the uiornioK , and work until seven o ' clock in tbe evening , but Pnuling wanted them to be there when tba bell rung six in tbe morning and to remain urtil s . x in the evening , which none of the other masters required . It therefore became the whole of tbe building trades to come fi > rwar-t and pus a stop to the encroachments of this firm upon the rights of labour . He therefore most cordially seconded the resolution , whioh , on being put from the chair , was agreed to nem . con . Mr . Kichardson , sawyer , movud the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Giles , of the same trade , and carried without a { Ivu 8 « utieut : " That we . the trades connected with' buiMinj ? , in public met'tini ; assembled , do hereby agr-e to pay an txtra levy to our resuL . r truces * contribution ? , of sixpence per man for

      the presbnt week , in support of those trades now working for Mems .- Pauling , Henfrey , and Co ., or their sub contractors , should they ceaso working until the carpenters « nd joiners obtain their just lijjhta . " Tho Cuuirman then read a letter frum a ^ entlemun named Smith , a master biiior , enclosing a subscription of £ l towards the fund to support the strike , with « n intimation that it was the first , but should not bj the lnst , if the strike continued . We believe the gentleman resides in Great Bridge water-street Mr . Cainey , plasterer , ruoiei tho next resolution , which was aa followB- . — " That this meeting do earnestly rtquest all those who bave not yet enrolled themselves as nieiu-hers of tho society to come fcrward , and-show by their unity the power they possess ta resist any encroachment which may be attempted ty any unprincipled competitor or other person . '

      Tiie rs 8 uluiion was seconded by Mr . Diutiinson , plaaterer , and supported by Mr . Win . Dixon , and agteed to nnaniui < iu . <<) y . Mr Huime , in tnovinn tbe n ^ xt resolution , naiil if they must have a society they must also have ruins for ita Government . He therefore moved — "That the deieg-ites of the various trades b « empower . ( 1 to draw up a code of laws embodying the resolutions passed at this meeting for our future Government—tbe Same to be submitted to each trade for their adoption or n-jection . Mr . Dickinson seconded the resolution , which was agreed to . Mr . BeJIhonse then left the chair ; when , on the motion of Mr . Dickinson , Mr . Whittaker took the same , after which the best tiwnks of tbe ttades present were given to Mr . Bellhnuse for his gentlemanly conduct in tba chair daring thv traasUctwn of the business .

MAKCHESTERiBOROUGH COURT—A case of assault was brought up I at this court before D . Maude , Esq ., on Tuesday last , i The complainant was Mr . Bslihouse , a joiner ; and the defendant , Patrick Wheldin , watchman to Messrs . Pauling and Co . W . P . Roberts , Esq ., appeared for theprosecutien , and Mr . Rutter . for the defence . Tbe facts of the case were as follows : —Mr

      JBellbouse and a friend was tab ing a walk past Pauling's vvorka when-be waa stopped by the private watchman . who was watching outside the works , and told he should not pass up tbe road . Mr . Bellhouse insisted as it was a public highway that he should be allowed to i rtneed without molestation . This was refused , aud a scuffle ensued , ; when Patrick Wheldin came out of tbe yar > l with a loaded blunderbuss in his hand , struck Mr . BtfUhouse , wbO 3 e companion remonstrated , when Wheldin presented the blunderbuss to his bresst und swore that if they were not off he would give him the contents . The defence set up wa « first , that the road was private property ; and secondly , that the

      compluinactt were a'lpicqaet set to watch Mr . Pauling ' s works , and that no more violence was used than was necessary . Howevev Mr . Rutwrts in cross-examining Mr . Richard Pauling brought it out that the road was not their property but tbat it went past tbe works to the Canal bridge , and tbat they bad a much greater number of men in " the works than those that were outeidu , and that instead of the men being kept in . from fear which bad been endeavoured to be shewn , tbey wera kept in for . tbe purpose of having beef steaks . The decision of the Bench was that Wheldin should be bound to keep tbe peace for six months , h : mself in £ 30 and two BttTetiea in £ 15 each .

      New Batley Court , Salford . —At this Court on Tuesdayriast , the caso of the power loom -weavers working for Marines , manufacturer , Oldfield Lane , came before the jbench . The circuaistances of the case as produced by evidence were ai follows . On the ni ireing of Thursday , Oct . 31 st , during the breakfast half hour , the ; men were assembled together smoking their pipes when Mannes went up to them , and asked what tbey [ were talking about there ? One of them replied they were neither talking about him nor his mill . Mannes-said he knew better , but he would bs without some of them soon . He then went into the office , and the wen followed to see if he would keep a plertse he bad jrnade some time before . If they could find a master paying more than him be would

      advanCH . They asked him if he intended to advance the w . iges as the other masters had done . He said hu was paying more than the other masters . One of the men replied no , he was not , for Mr . J . Thompson was pnying twopence \ pet cut more for the sauae "work . Mr . Mannea said that was not a respectablu firm . They asikad him if be intended to give them the advance . He said , No , notja fraction . "' He then said that if any hand in bis mill | was dissatisfied , whether they were v » i-aver 9 or not , they were at liberty to go and See them- This took place just after Che work people had commenced after breakfast , and Mr . ftlanhea would not allow the men be had turned off to go into the mill for their clotheB , but seut iu his own female servant into the mill for them . The

      eoua-quence of v ? hich was that they did not generally know jf whit Mannes had said and dona until noon . When they thought , and justly so to , that if he could turn men off without notice , they could leave without ; and , accordingly , they all stopped work . The Complaint now laid was for the recovery of the wapes due to the men at the time they left Work . W . P . Roberts , E-q . appeared for the ¦ weavers , and Mr . Gibson and Mr . Brandt for Mt . Marines . TheQrst case was that of Joseph Share who clalmed ] 133 . due to him for work done . Mr . Koberts called several witnesses , who proved that Mr . Mannes had not only turned mun off without notice- ; but that ho had distinctly and emphatically detltred , that if any of his bands wore dissatisfied they might go , and go then . He was one of those who did go ,

      because he was not satisfied with the manner which Mr . M » nnes -was treating him . Mr . Mauds aaid , that notwithstanding Mr . Mannes had said , when irritated , that all dissatisfied persons might go , he thought he only meant those in the office , and not those in the mill ; arid it waa consistent with reason , thut where persons paid by the week , thut a week ' a notice was required from either the workmen or the employer ; therefore , the complainant having left without notice could riot claim what was due to him when he left work . The next case was that of a woman named Sarah Heap , who , wben sworn , said that she wanted 9 s 3 d for work done , and Is 6 . 1 for work in the loom . Mr . Brandt said they were willing to pay her her wages , but tba case was cone int » ; and a shameful case it waa . She

      said that on the 31 st of Get when he said she was working for Mr . Mannes , that every one dissatisfied might leave ; she put her clothes on , and was going borne , when she was met in one of the rooms by the manager and Mr .
