Mr Jocobs succeeded in entertaining the most numerous meeting held here for some years past with a feast of facts and ' instructive . illustrations , which roused the long slumbering faculties of our raiher slow-minded people , ' At-the dose Ihe chairman declared himself converted by the missionary to tha principles of , thu National Association , that he had been a sceptic on the subject of" Trades Unions " for ye&rs , but this was the very union to benefit the working man . A ^ solution of approval was dul y carried , with the usual thanks , and the meet in dissolved .

MACCLESFIELD .-Mr J . \ V . Parker reported in consequence of his attendance , being . ' required iti the annual delegation of the United , Tailors' Protec . tion Society , he had not been able to report anv

      thing of consequence the last week , so far as the United Trades was concerned ^ and deepl y regretted his not heing ahic to forward au account ' earlier of the exceedingly large meeting of the silk weavers of Macclesfield , Mr John West , in the chair , which meeting , after having heard the principles of the Association explained by Mr Parker , came to the unanimous resolution of joining the United Trades . Mr P . on the 12 th instant proceeded to Birmingham , to endenvour to arrange a dispute with Mr Carpenter , small-ware weaver , and his hands , on account of a rednclion of sixpence in tbree shillings upon a certain descriptiou of work . The secretary of the satrty accompanied Mr . .. P ., and had a . lengthened interview with Mr Carpenter , who would not forego the reduction , butdrclnred his intention

      of not giving out , any more of the disputed article to lie made up : thus the men an : ennbled to remain at other employment without striking against the * employer , jn question , / or tlie present . On the evening of the . . same day Mr Parker attended a very largi ; meeting of the scissor forgers and grinders * of Sheffield , at . the house of Mr Mosely , bottom of Workhouse Croft . He entered into the usual statement of the objects of the association , which . gave great satisfaction , —many questions were asked and answered , among which was one , —that the Sheffield trades depended , in n-great measure up oi fore gn consumption . , Mr P . answered that the same facilities for finding a marker , for ihe . 'Sheffield goo . ls were in the possession of the association as auv

      capitalist in existence , and it was very easy to ereaie a spirit of emulation among the American . working men in favour of their English brethren , —but nevertheless , apart from that , the association contemplated placing the surplus labour of trades upon the laud , which would prove a sure antidote for the great evil affecting the trades generally , namely , a surplus labour . Tbe gentleman asking the question expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the explanation . . A'voteof thanks was passed unanimously to the missionary , and the . meeting adjourned to Monday tlift Ifltli , lo come to a decision upon joining the Kssoeiatioii .

      FttAMBW 0 RK-KNiTiaR 9 . -0 n Mondfly , mornins lut , : i meHing was called by . the barmen' -ot Snttnasin-AsliBelil , at tho Niia ' s Head in that town ; to discuss the met its of tlio bill , lately introduced into Parliament by Sir U . Halford . for abolishing frame rents ; Aiid other charges conncctpd :. with thS framework knitting trade -The R « v . W . Linwood and several laymen appeared as tho advocates of non-interference bv k vernment in trade matters ; and Mr J . Barbery of Nottingham , and several working men of Sutton , as die advocates o { the bill . The following rcsoluti n , whieh was strongly op [ J 9 sed by Mr Linwood , was put and carried almost unnnimou » ly : — ¦ 1 That this meeting is of opinion tliat aa property of all kinds is protected by law , labour , tho only property of ilie working m « n , has an unOoubtcd right to the same Vmil of protection . , - .

      The Chairman thenVead the bill , after which a die--eussion commenced on each clause ; Mr Lin'rood and his party contending that it the principle of pro * tection wasliadniiited . still tlie bill was a bad one . In Snttnn there were 480 frames belonging to hosiers and 1760 frames belonyinu to Impmen and others , and as the bill sought to abolish Uanie rent , frain-8 would be unprofitable , and the act would consequently be an actof confiscation ; but they contended that the princip ! e of protection was false , and that eovprnmtnt ; had no . w *; ht 1 0 interfere in tiado nffairg . Mr Barber and his party pointed out tho evils resulting from tho present system of charging rent for frames and other exactions upon tho working men ;

      tliat the framawork-knvtU'va ttail no more r > t"htto pay rent for the use of tho stocking frame than had the twist hand for the use of tho twist machine . It was not a question oi whether ba « mcn would suffer if the bill more passed into , law , but wlmther , conaideriiiET all circumstances , the bill was a ju ? t one ; vlietlier one part of tho community should be pro-. t ooted by law , andtlia othtirJufc without protection . The Ticket bill did not define who were manufacturers and whojnto agi-nts , but the present bill did , aiid thefore it-hjjis , not likely to be a failure . On the bili bcinjL put'by the Chairman there appeared from 25 to 30 bagnu'n-ngaii . stit , thei-eatof the meeting weie in its favour . The room was crowded to
