      Eliht : Burriit , or the Modern Vulcan . —EIHiu Burritt has , with his uncouth ' name , ' some' very rude ideas of civilisation in general . The learned blacksmith , like the learned pig , has but little harmony in his voice , and is anything but an " Harmonious blacksmith . " His hammer-strokes of factorial steam , or smokatorial strength , are anything but strokes of wit : the latter commodity being with him a "dead nail . " But what has the Etncnn Elihu to do with wit—that "thin impervious essence of the soul i' lie has large views ( dissolving views ) of the political and Mnlthusian economy of human life . lie 13 the " Delphian Oracle , No . 2 . " Keep this side up , —Glass ! " Another Vulcan come to revolutionise the kingdom of Saturn , to transmute the clear

      limpid stream into streams of melted metals , the " kisses of the sweet south" into the Sirrncco blasts of sulphureous furnaces ; and to blackec the bright and laughing sky with the vapoury exhalations and stenchy poisons of pestiferous chimnies , which he intends to plant like a forest , " thick as the leaves of Vallombrosa ! " But listen to the "Oracle . " "Then , " says he , ( after I have humbugged my victimised hearers ) the new furnaces and'forges will illuminate the bills and clouds of Wales witk their mighty glow , and the tall chimnies of Lan » cashiro and Yorkshire will thicken to a forest . " Mercy on us all ! what a total eclipse there will be ! But what a natural taste this modern Vulcan has tVr " furnaces and forges . " Punch wonders if he can side—

      When Burritt forg'd the bolts of Fudge , At Mammon ' s shriue tc-low , ' ' He was nell paid—and coul . l not grudge Ahead with knaves to go . Eliliu is in a fix ! Like his prototype Vulcan , he has stumbled in the act of presenting the blarneycup to the Jupiter Tonans ; his deformity of purpose is visible to the world ; the million can despoil him of hi a office of cup-bearer ' . to the purse-proud chimney kings , and destroy his elysiutn of " Universal Brotherhosd ; " the million can consign him

      to a perpetual banishment frem the feelings , sympathies , and esteem of air mankind—of all who claim the green fields for the revelling of the " liarvest home , " and the cloudless eropyreum for their inheritance—unblurred and uncontaminated by the filthy shadow of base , money-seeking slims ! Vulcan had love for his mistress , but she despised him ; he made a mesh to ensnare her and her admirers , but the celestials laughed the awkward , bungling blacksmith to scorn . Can Elihu read the apologue ? —Miner * ' Advocate .

      Dr Chalmbks ' s Urain . —The cause of Dr Chalmers's death was generally understood to be apoplexy , but the autopsy has shown it to have been disease of the heart , that organ having to a considerable extent been converted into fatty matter , and so becoming incapable of muscular action ; ' The other parts of the body were decidedly * healthy . Phrenology is rather at fault regarding Dr Chalmers . From the largeness of his head externally , and the peculiarity of his mental temperament , the leading craniologists hav « long spoken of him as of necessity possessing a

      large brkin ; but the post mortem- inspection of the tncephalus has disabused this idea . Thus , the weight of brain in pupuy tren was 64 ok . ; in Cuvier ( 53 , in Abercrombic G 3 , in Chalmers 53—the average weight in persons from fiO to 60 years of age being 50 oz . 2 dr . O'Connell was also spoken of as possessing a brain ot extraordinary dimensions , and it would be interesting to know if dissection threw any light upon this . Ihe removal of his heart necessarily involved the use of the scalpel , and doubtless ifc would have been uaed in the cranial as well as in the thoracic regions . ¦ . * :, ' ¦

      a . O , Ilrttt . ' Mr VVabne , in moving ihe first-resolution , sak 3 the question "tin-ve" was a taost'injportant one , ae the lisipqranesB of his fellow-men here « td hereafter , in a ; prcat meamire depended on it ?([ Iccr ) . Ho boliercd ! itwaa only necessary , in ike : present instance , to be ! unasimous te obtain sucecss {( cheers ) . As regarded hours of labour , he thought all-fcrades should be ^ put « pon annual footing , atul-sflveral trades already had the advantage of quitting their labour at four ( i ' olookon rhe Saturday , ilowpeaicd all should be on an equality in this matter i ( 'C ^ eers ) . lie was happy to see-so many present at tliis meeting . It sliowed that tlip feelinsrin the-matter was on the ; increase ( Cheers ) . He thought ft would he readily ndaiiitid that , without ; ' " men ; ' " -there could be no " meters" i ( hear ); and henee Labour should be respected . Too . iBuch labour was nt present exacted frora tho men , * nd he could not conceive that their very moderate demand , of a reduction of one hour

      and a half per week , could be refused ;( Loiid cheers ) No one . could deny its necessity and moderation ( Hear ) . 'We appear to be agreed that "time" is valuable . He wren thought that a little more leisure everyday would be very beneficial—ir . would afford men time for sepulture , enable them to improve their mincta , and , ¦ depend on it , as their minds were instructed , physical comforts would follow ( cheer ?); and It would be impious to say that the Deity did not intend them to . enjoy-the manifold blessings by which he had surrounded them ( Applause ) . The resolution he had to submit was as foHows : — " That it a the opinion of this meeting that the present is the inost favourable time for carrying into practical ( ffeej ; the operation of the four o ' clock mevement , seeing that delays are not only prejudicial ? » g'ilj da ngerous ; this meeting , therefore , pledges useit to use the utmost cner « y , in order to secure for this question a triumphant issue . "

      lie ( MrW ' arne ) thought the adoption of the proposition would be beneficial to . the employer as well as umj emplojed , as certain it was that the men would work more cheerfully at their " hanker" when they obtained this instalment of the debt so justlydue to them ; and if they only united as one man—speaking as with one mouth-their labours must result in a speedy and tmmphant success ( Great cheering ) . ; Mr Nag fecended the motion , which was carried unanimously . . Mr Joseph WooD ,-the secretary , rose to move the second resolution , amid loud . cheers , and said , they must be award that , some time ago , they had met in this Hall to , agitate the four " o ' clook question , and on that occasion the resolutions were adopted

      unanimously , and that a committee was then appointed to carry out its objects ; that committee have faithfully and i lligep . tl y continued its labours up to the present time ; it has caused public meetings of the masons to lie held , in several parts of the metropolis , at all of which unanimous resolutions had been' come to in support of the short time movement' ( hear ) - ; and hence the present " demonstration , "—it being a pa * thering from all parts , and intended as the last prior to the presentation of the memorials . He conceived the present time well chosen for that object ; luisiness was brisk , and there was plenty of employment , and shortening the hours of labour was tbo prevailing question ; and therefore should-be " the order of the day" with the masons ( Loud cheers ) .. The resolution he was about to submit was as follows : —

      "That ihis meeting foregoes ^ consideration of any other grievance for the present , and concentrates its whole energies oa this important measure , " believinc that tho best interests of the masons are involved in the triumph and concession of this right ; and , to the obtainment thereof , that we memorialise the employers of the metropolis to concede it . " They did not wish to make wider the , gulph at pr-. acnt existing between . masters nnd men , but to conciliate and create a better feeling . Perhaps had this question been mooted at an earlier period , we should have struck for it , but wb have seen the evil of strikes , except on extraordinary occasions ; we would obtain it by other means . Let it be our duty to wait on the employers , in a peacefulmoraljot

      , , firm manner ( loud . cheers ) , and he had no doubt their firmness and unanimity would obtain for them what they asked ( Great applause ) . The drapers , pawnbrokers , engineers , and others , had succeeded in obtaining a reduction in the hours of labour , and why should not tho masons ? ( Loud cheers ) He believed that Trades Unions , properly carried out , were the beat bulwarks of a people ' s freedom ( much cheering ) . He was aware that objections had been raised to them , and that some of our legislators ha' ) evinced a desire for their destruction ( hear , hear ) , but the learned professions had ' their trades ' unions—tliere were the Univer 5 itirn ( clwcvs)—the parKons liad their trades' unions ; for instance , a bishop would not ardain a mason , he his pietv ever so deep or his

      learning ever so profound ( Loud cheers ) . Why ? because he : didnot- belong to their trades'unions ( renewed cheers ) . Again—they ; could not practise an a suvseon unle 8 s ' thc . v first obtained a diploma from the College ( hear , hear , and cheers ); neither could thry practise as a barrister until they had taken their degrees (! qud cheers ) . Working ' men were '' told they were not to have unions because they had not brain ' s enough Vyet only walk through . London and see the magnificent works of genius . Do you ask who created themi certainly not my Lord BrouKhani , or the aristocracy , but the poor despised working classes ( great cheering ) . They had intellect enough for that , but they had not yet displayed tact enough to look to their own wellbcing ( . sheers ) . Tradesmen and

      employer ' s might increase their profits by enlarging the price of the article , but only let the workmen attempt to obtain sixpence per day more for his labour , and it was criminal ( loud chceis ); but for his part lie would infinitely prefer a reduction in tho hours of labour to . a rise in wages ( hear , hear ) . lie did nc-t ( l' : spi ? e little beginnings—we could obtain the haur and a half , and then proceed in . our onward course mitil we had reduced the day ' s work to eight hours , and entirely emnncipated the labourer ( prcat cheering ) . He had been put to the "banker" at ten years of age , and kept at * it for ten hours a day ever since , and therefore had but small time to devote to the cultivation of his intellect ( hear , hear ) . Chambers' said that the working men a century

      or more ago , in the Elizibellian era , were worse off than now;—that ' might bo true , but tbey were only just emerging from the feudal system —that system ' * ' ' which " only knew lord and slave . ( Loud cheers . ) He had no objection to Brougham having a pension for his services , bnthe thought six thousand a-year too much , and he thought there should be an approximation something nearer to the wages of the industrious , in-( jenious artizan . ( Much applause . ) Ho had . , no objection to the monarch being well paid for lier services , but he thought some of the gilded baubles attached to the crown might be dispensed

      with—( great cheering)—let them obtain the hour and a half for themselves , and they had the same amount ofleisnro in prospective for . their children . All who wished for home comfort and domestic felicity would support the proposition . ( Loud cheers . ) The cavpentershad asked fur asimilai- compliment , andlmd been refused ; but while Mr Gri&ell refused them , he had said , " The masons are about to ask for tliu same , and 1 believe they will obtain it . " ( Loud cheers . ) The carpenters had made no previous preparation . ' Tlie masons were well prepared —( hear , htar)—then go on , and remember the Cornish motto , "One andali , " and they would succeed . ( Great checrine . )

      Mr Smith seconded tho motion , which was carried unanimously . MrJosEpn Turner said , if their agitation had done no other good it had brought a great number into the Union that was not there before . lie thought no man could object to sign' the memorial , and , he believed , the application would result in success . He had much pleasure in moving the following resolution : — "That this meeting view with pleasure the success that has already attended this agitation , and believe that a Jirm , manly , add peaceful stand ia only necessary t . triumphantly establish this right " ; and , thereby , emancipate ourselves from the withering effects of excessive toil and long hours . " Tfcc resolution was seconded by Mr Eyles , and carried unanimously . - Is was then resolved : —

      "That the memorials should be signed by all the men in employ . " . " That a deputation ot two persons from each job do wait on the employers with the . memorials to learn their pleasure thereon , and ti ; at such memorials be presented on the 21 st instant / 1 Mr Andkkw Hogo , in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman , stated , amidst loud cheers , that a full report of this meeting would appear in the Northern Star of Saturday , June 19 th . ' The thanks of tho meeting having been awarded by acclamation to the chairman , the meeting was dissolved .

      rittiis , property could nut exist , ati : i Uic hall in which wciiiow stand could not have bcun erected . The fact is ,-that'tho ' working ' classes of En »! . iml have not worked too little , but too much .. -The Chairman has alluded t ) tho times of Eiiz iheth . What was then tho relative relationshi p oi England to the nations of Aho globe , so far as her itiitnu ' ju tines wore " concerned ? Why , at that tiinewewrft'e in our mercantile infancy . The rici-i of the land wive clothed with silkc , linens , and wooHeu . « , *; of French' and Flemish manufacture . Bounties were « iven by novernment to foreign manufacturers to Battle in this country ; laws'wcre jiassed to [ u <> vent tlie importation of foreign fabrics and the exportation of homegrown woo ! —passed wisely , to t'licoufajzo home trade . Since

      then a change hastuken place in our commercial re . lfttiojieliips . Wo are not now this ' apprentices of France and Flinders . England is the commercial mis tress of tho globe ; and is a people to ha branded as idle whose industry and skill have clothed the world and left her own peasiiRtry naked ? ( Clmcrs . ) History affords no parallel . to the increase of the powers of production , " or a like increase in taking away tVom the producers . ( Hcaivhear . ) The foreign trade of Kngliutd had been doubled since tho passing of the Reform Bill , and by what process had this been effected?—by giving more labour anil receivins less money in return , and , consequently , affording loss wages to the labourer . Some idea of the result might beibnn ' cd from Mr Fk'ldi . n ' . s letters , io Fitfcnin

      , which t he fact is deiiionstntted that from 1815 to 1832 , seventy parts out of one hundred constituting the whole for labour , expenses and profiJs , had departed upon the four leading articles of cotton manufactures akrae . Woollens and linens had in similar manner increased in quantity and decreased in nominal value , whilst the silk trade suffered still more from the increased competition and decreased prices . ' This system had enhanced the fortunes of the rich , ' and reduced the labourer to a state of starvation , making him give two pieces of cloth instead of one—two days' work instead of ono , while he himself possessed less coirmaml of every necessary of existence , bread and meat keeping more than their average va ue . ( Cheers . ) The plain deduction wa = > .

      that , the working man ate half a loaf instead of a whole one , and knew of eating meat more in name . . than in practice , lie spoke within the limit warranted by fact , when he said that this system of " rob Ubour and increase capital" had doubled the fortunes of the'J ews within tho last fifteen years . An idle people , iudi-eil ! The shipping of a country is ever " a ready nm ! sure index of a people ' s industry . Well , how stands our shippina ? The number of vessels that , entered inwards in 1 S 30 was [» i'Pator thaii that of 283 S by 7 . C 35 , the . tonnage bv 1 , 303 . 027 ; the vessels cleared outwards greater by 5 , 442 , and the tonnage by 017 , 955 ; showin ? , in the course of six years , an increase of nearly one-half , Since then our shipping had gone on incrcnsinirand

      , shipowner ? were now reaping a harvest of prospority , aid the people suffering a seed-time of adversity . Such is tho reward of industry ! Their wives , anil children had been starved in factories , and t , heir busbandsturneu out to be vagabonds and dependants , and w en the sinew and marrow of womanhood and infancy had glutted the market of tho world , they were mocked , and caliud idle ! The old feudal lord ' s had joined tliuyouug factory lordsin She unjust course of aggression and oppression ( Applause ) . The fact was notorious in the history of English agriculture , that there were now . . 26 $ . 090 fewer persons employed in agvicvillHve in 1811 than were employed in 1811 , whilst rent had increased £ 8 . 000 , 000 sterling per annum . If any doubted that statements he referred

      them to the population returns for 1811 » nd 1811 and , to the property and . income tax ot 1 S 14 and 1843 S The ' sjstcift of the land barons had been one of extermination . From . Scotland ' s cold northern hills to England ' s domestic dales , the ie had been but onv inotto— " Oust the cotter , and increase the income ( cheers ) , destroy the independent yccmian , a «< l build mansions for farm-houses . " But '' Rent , rent , vent !" was still the cry ( cheers ); crowd the towns with beggars , and rid the country of the poor ( Applause ) . Why did this state of things exist ? Mr Wakley had answered the question when ho said , if the people wcr .-intelligent they wauld sibolish e . yeiy bad law . L Incould be allowed to enter into this question he would read some of those young men a lesson who talked so

      flippantly , about civilisation and liberty . These were pretty words and sounded well , biit wero they understood ? lie . feared not . A small quantity of humanity mongcrim;—a grain or two of civility—a profusion of smiles ; and some small taik about civilisation and liberty , bottled up poured out occasionally , formed ; : neat stock-in-trade for a genteel . and enlightened election affair ; but they were weary of words , and required acts—acts of civilization . The facts were , property had increased to an unlimited extent , and knowledge to direct the same had increased in a limited extent . The great mechanical minds of the past had left behind them mighty engines of power . Activity had employed them ; but , bwn ignorant , and having but a short time to acquire knowledge , the

      people found the civilization of the psisfc wft 3 not sufuYiently enlightened to direct the same . Man moves from barbarity to civilization l > y degrees—slowly but ' surely , and they were now entering upon a new erathe era of direction .. Let them not doubt the truth , but lonk abroad , and be not deceived . The desire for tho possession ' and direction of property was as universal as the injury sustained by Labour . That desire was indicated in the words " self-supporting schools , " " co-operative leagues , " " co-operative laud societies , "—faith in the powers of Labour , and faith in the possession of Capital . Working men had resolved not only to feed the pig , but to cat the bacon —to keep the cow , and drink the milk—to point to the factory , and say , ¦ " There is our labour , and there

      is our property . " The old stereotyped doctrine ot the relation of classes , nnd duties of classes , would not fit such a change ; but the intelligent and growing mind of England was creating the thoughtit was a 2 > ew thought—and it was new not only in the history of England , but . in the history of civilisation , aud it was for thk great industrial country to lead the van of nations iu the direction of capital , as she had surpassed tho ' eld states in her production of property . The old forms of society were gradually breaking up , and the new forms were in conception , and in gradual development . This was a momentous . era in the history ot civilisation , tho greatest that the universe of Mini had as yet

      suggested ; but , tho fire once lighted , would spread to earth ' s horizon—tho thought once realised build up the future for all nations savage or semi-civilised . The resolution contains the words " great aud free people" ;—great wo are , freo wo are not . Their greatness was in the past ; but . grandeur and freedom were in the future . ( Applause . ) Tlie new thought of . which he had spoken Imd originated in the centre of society ; it had floated like the nobu ' aj , but was now b ' ccntniug a planet—a habitable world . Ideas formed institutions ; institutions formed government . AH depended on Labour , and Labour desired the time when no New I ^ oor Law would be necessary , when no able-bodied poor could exist , ( Loud cheering . )

      Citv op Westminster Mrmal Lmprovemest Socibtv . —On Saturday evening a large number of persons attended the Temperance Kul ' i , Broarfway , to hear " The Merits of the several Candidates jtspiring to represent the City of Westminster in Parliament" discussed . Mr Siailwood , in openin ? the thbatr , said there was a » reat evil attendant in having either military or naval officers as representatives , as it too frequently happened that they left the honour of representing the people to the more honourable and profitable one of ciutine throats on foreign shores ( loud cheers ); and . ^ Parliament , having many such members , was to a areat extent , the mere creature of the government of the day . Looking at tho votes of Geneva ! Evans since hia

      last election , he had been pretty tolerable , and would do very well to follow , but was uufic to lead . The great demerits of Mr Lushington were that he refused to vote for Universal Suffrage , under the pretext that the people were not intelligent enough , lie also objected to a repeal of the New Poor Liw Ast , and to a limitation of the hour * of labour ; and then his great r . ge , sixty-Svc , precluded the possibility of lui performing the duties of aa efficient legislator ( Loud cheers . ) On the ether hand , Mr Charloa Cochrane had evinced great merit and fitness for a legislator by his successful exertions on behalf of tie poor victims who were deluded away to Portugal and Spain to fight for Don Pedro and Christina , nr . il then refused their hard-earned pay ; bv his

      establishment of the national Philanthropic Association , and thereby laying tho foundation of the measure— " The Health of Towns' Bill "—by the establishment of t ! : e "Poor Man ' s Guardian Society , " and the bringing of the witnesses from Andovcr , and thereby enabling Mr Wakley to bring that inquiry to a triumphant issue ; by his adoption of the great principles held by Majo ; - Cartwright , the same principles so long ani dearly cherished by the electors of Westminsterunder the title of civil and religious liberty ; by hia courage in attending White Conduit House on tho Fastdaj— by his visit to O'Connorville on Whit Monday—and . bv his courtesy , diligence , activity , and great attention to tho wishes of the people on all occasions , and by his creafc and unprecedented

      humanity . 1 hose things convinced him ( Mr Stallw ( o-i ) that Mr Cochra ' ne was the best iUted of all the candidates to be a representative of the nity of Westminster ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Wnllord did ' not think either a general in the army or a member of the Hast India Company were fitting persons to be the representative : ! of a city lika Westminster , ile thought the member should beentirely free of government . Mr Lushington had Mil him ( Mr Watford ) that he would ' not support Universal Suffraoe because the people were not intelli gent enou < 'h . Now he knew many shopkeepers , who were so ignorant , that they knew nothing oi politics whatever ; yet they hadthovote . Ho , thereforo , could not giro him any interest he might possess ., He liked Mr Ucurane s humanity and hi * inquiring spirit , ia tact , lie hked him the best , and if he had fifty votes would givo them to him ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Trumbie comd not

      go the length hia friends had done , as be was not pleased with Mr Cochraue on hia firstappearance in that Hall—at the same time , as Mr Lushington had lived in the world sixty-five years without doing anything worthy of notice " , it was much too late tor him to commence row ( Loud cheers . ) He thought it would be quite possible to find a candidate wi- b a greater expansion of intellect than either oi " the present possessed . Mr Broome agreed with Mr mimble ' s concluding remarks . lie fully agreed with the opener of the debate that we neither wanted military or naval ofHcers , but civilians , who under " stood the political , civil , and social wants of . the people , to ba our representatives ( Laud cheers . ) Mr Portwino said , the gentleman who preceded him , ! iad entered into a sweeping condemnation of all tho candidates—allowing fcmerit to none—would it not have been well had he told us what sort or manner of

      man a candidate should be to suit his taste ? ( Hear , hear . ) Although Mr Broome could not seethe meriteand qualifications of Charles Coohr&ne , he was happy to tell them that the electors of Westminster saw with very different eyes , and that Mr Cochrane ' s triumphant return was now placed beyond a doubt { Loud cheers ) On the motion of Messrs Bowler and Wnlford , the question was then adjourned until Saturday ( this eveuing , ) June lOih , at half-past eight precisely .
