      TRADES'MOVEMENTS . THE WARRINGTbN CONSPIRACY . The engineers of London being desirous of Bhovring to the trades of the metropolis the result of their efferta in favour of their persecuted brethren of Newton and Warrington , held a public meeting at % Crown and Anchor Tavern , Strand , on Saturday eTfeoing . September 25 . . Mr HsppELt was unanimously called to the chaic , and aftei a few , observations , introduced Mr WM . Nekton , their secretary , who said , the committee had thought that an explanation of the result of the } trial , and what had been done with the funds their I friends had contributed , should be made public . The committee would have held this meeting at a much earlier period , but they waited ' for the report to place : ' S 55 = ' : ^ TRADES ' MOVEMENTS . "

      in the members'hands , The committee was exceedingly obliged , not only to their own members , ; but to those other trades who had so munificently ; contributed . In the metropolis alone , they had received over £ 700 ; a faot unprecedented in the annals of London subscriptions . ( Loud cheers . ) They would be agreeably surprised to find that their whole expenses attendant on the collection and transmission of the sum exceeding £ 700 , and agitating the metro , polis , had only eost them £ 20 . ( Great cheering . ) Mr Roberts here entered the ball , and was greeted with the most enthusiastic and long continued cheering , and amidst renewed applause ppoceeded to address the meeting . It was , said Mr R ., a source of sincere gratification to him to see such , a respectable meeting . The

      Warrington trial was a most important one . He believed that no trade was wider spread than that of the working machinists , and he believed in numbers it was not inferior to any . The offence really tried in the Warrington ease , was the ' talking up and down and talking . ' . The judge told the jury that he could not understand tho case , nor could he . ( Hear , hear . ) The object sought to be obtained by the employers , was evidently to prevent the men from meeting , talking , and consulting together ; feeling as-8 ured that if they did sa , the force of their united counsel would render them omnipotent . ( Great cheering . ) The men put on their trial were a class of men who , above all others , sought to obtain their object by force of reason alone . > ( Hear . hear . \ Thav

      hau shown thw . bythe bills , tracts , and addresses they had issued in defence of their rights . ( Cheers . ) Aa indictment , extending over 107 folio pages , ' was frameclfor the purpose of preventing men from thinkw rue was , that two men might meet together and think that Messrs Jones and Potts were a couple ef scoundrels —( tremendous oheering)—and that no honest man should wark for them —( renewed cheenng ) -but he must be a clever lawyer who , for two such thoughts or ideas , would draw . up a monster indictment , extending , qver 107 folio pages , to suppress two such ideas . ( Lauehter and applause . ) To be sure , such a lawyer might think if he did not catch his victims in one or two clauses , it would be strange if they got through 107 without being caught . He was thankful thathe had had such men as the machinisti to back him up , and enable him to fight the battle through so far successfully . The charge against Henry Selsby wasthat he had sent ten

      , pounds m a letter to the men . He was delighted to hear Baron Rolfe tell the jury , in all honest sim- ' plicity , that if the men were only seen walking up and down , doing nothing , it certainly was no offence in law . ( Loud cheers . ) The " word ' picket'had appeared in Mr Chceseborough ' s papers , and this wa 3 a 'horrid word , ' , ( laughter , ) and the learned counsel on the opposite side laid great stress on it , and read it with great emphasis , in deep sepulchral tones , as if it was only necesBary to prove ? picket , ' and blood and murder would be sure to follow .. They knew that they had to appear in the Queen ' s Bench next term , but their . opponents did net seem very anxious to ' call them up for judgment . He must again thank them , and assure them , that come persecution in whatever shape it might , he should be ever ready to meet it on their behalf . Mr Roberts resumed his seat amidst the most hearty and protracted cheering . -

      Several questions , were asked of Mr Roberts , and answered to the satisfaction of the meeting . The Chairman said , the business that would now arise , was what Bhould be done with the surplus fund now in hand . He thought it would be advisable to hold it in the hands of trustees , and if it should not be required in the course of some two years , some meeting like unto the present could decide what should be done with it . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Hinblkt said , the contest which had caflfed them together , had presented features of a novel kind . Unlike Whig chancellors at the end of their session , they had no woful deficiency lo make up , but on the contrary , had the pleasure of announcing a surplus revenue , and that , too , exceeding £ 300 . ( Loud , cheers . ) He was wishful that it should be deposited insucka way that it could be obtained at a moment ' s notice . ( Uear , hear . ) He thought the engineers and other trades had set a noble example . ( Great a pplause . ) HeffOUMmove the following resolution : —

      That the balance r « maining in the hands of the London Committees , be invested ia tbe names of five trustees , until It be seen whether it will be required for tbe purpose forwhich it was subscribed . That it be invested in the following names : — Joseph Dunn , member of the Old Society ; Edward Arundel , member of Nsw ditto ; Thomas Booth , mem . her of Steam Engine Makers' ditto ; William NewtoD , member of Manchester ; and Richard King , member of Smiths'ditto . . Mr Mjllward seconded the motion . Mr Harms moved an amendment to the effect that meetings he held in several districts prior to any aggregate meeting coming to any definite resolution on the subject .

      Mr He wis seconded the amendment . Mr Booth thought , should the amendment be adopted , it would be postponing the settlement of the affair for an indi finite period . The question was then put , and only one hand held up for the amendment , and a very large number against—upon which a member of the Pattern-makers' Society moved a further amendment , as follows : — . That seven trustees he appointed instead of five , and that the two so added shall consist of one from the Pattern-makers' society and one from the non-society men . Mr Hahris seconded this amendment .

      Mr William Nkwton said , he would not object * o have a pattern-maker added to the number of trustees , but he must object to a non . society man . He would propose the addition ot Mr Robert Swift , pattern-imker . Mr Millwam ) seconded the addition of Mr Swift . Mr Hikdlet would agree to add the name of Mr Swift to those he originally proposed , and thus let it stand part of his resolution . The seconder of the amendment would not consent for the amendment to be withdrawn . The question was therefore put , and only two hands were held up for the amendment . Tho original resolution was therefore declared to be carried amidst loud cheers .

      MrW . NKwrosmoveda vote of thanks to W . P . Roberts E «[ , for his great service to the people in general , and his attendance at this meeting in particular . He was happy to acquaint the meeting that Mr Roberts wonld , on and after tbe first Saturday ia January next , attend every Saturday at his offices in Robert-street , Adelphi , to give legal advice to the trades and the working classes generally . ( Great applause . ) Mr Habsos secinded the motion , which was carried amidst the most tremendous cheering , Mr RoBERis in acknowledging the compliment . said it was his pride and pleasure to stand well with the wotking classes , and he hoped always to try to deserve their good wishes . ( Loud cheers . ) The Secretary said there was a denotation prei i ' ¦

      sent from the block printers of Crayford , Kent , who were on strike against a shameful reduction of wageB and who had been superseded in their employ , he regretted to pay , by men sent from the firm of the eminent Free trader , Richard Cobdcn . They had issued an address , and as their trade had received considerable support from other trades , he hoped now their battle was over , they would help their opprefsed brethren , the block printers of Crayford * m Mr Nbwion then read the address , which appears m another part of our paper . A vote of thanks was then given to the committee who had managed the Warrington agitation , and a similar compliment having beenpaid to the chair * man , the meeting dissolved .

      CELEBRATION OF THE OBTAINMENT OF SHORTER HOURS OF LABOUR BY THE MASONS OF LONDON . About two hundred persons , chiefly operative masons , sat down to an excellent dinner , served up in a manner worthy of the fame achieved by Mr Rouse , in the large room of White Cenduit House Tavern , Pentonville , on Tuesday , September 28 . Ample justice having been done to the' viands , ' and the table cleared , Mr Warns was unanimously called te the chair , and said , there was something truly pleasing in such a meeting . They had met to celebrate the reduction of the hours of labour . ( Loud cheers . ) It was a great achievement . The battle had been well fought and won , and he hoped to see his brethren make a good use of the time they had gained . ( Cheers . ) He had great pleasure in giving' The Sovereign People : the legitimate source of all wealth . ' Drank amidst immense applause .

      Mr Gkorqe Scoii said , it was the first time the masons had met to congratulate themselves and their brother operatives , on the achievement ef such a triumph ; ene that could not fail to prove beneficial to them , morally , physically , and socially . ( Loud cheers . ) The toast tint had been just given , came J ™ to the breast of every right thinking man . ine Soverei gnty of the People , ' as he understoodit , meant the government by , and through the great EA e ? eo pIc « and not ^ an hereditary few . tLoudcheers . ) And that sentiment would bercduced to practice , as soon as the people thoroughly aroused SSB ^ Sff ^^^™ en-Mr i Romoxau 0 aid , he was muoh gratified in |

'

      Cratfohd Block-Pbintbrs . — "We , the 'London Silk , Wool , and Cotton Printers' Society , ' at , Crayford , have resolved to lay our case before the trades in general , and beg to state that a serious reduction is offered by one of our employers , to the amount of 5 j . Sd . per pound ; which . we resist , 88 we receive no more at present than ib paid by the London masters in general , and it this reduction is submitted tOj the whole body will iu all probability be reduced . Owing to the depressed state ofourtrade for the last twelve months , and having expended in a recent struggle ( since Christmas ) upwards of six hundred pounds ! our funds are exhausted , and we appeal to you to help us to resist the above encroachment on onr wages , which are , without reduction , so low , that ft

      living can scarcely be obtained . Since Chriatreas our average earnings have not exceeded fourteen shillings per week . Not only does our employer wish to reduce our prices again , having submitted to two reductions within the last eighteen months , but what is quite as important , he is using his endea . vours to break up our union . As the breaking up of our union and the reduction of our prices must be resisted by all means ; we called the shop out on str / ke five weeks ago . The number of men who requiro our support from that shop is sixty ; and at another shop , twenty-three , making a total of eighty three men who require our support .. The number of men belonging to our union in the London trade is three hundred and three ; out of that number there are , aa above stated , eighty-three , who require our support ; there are also seventy men out of shop , so that you will perceive there are only one hundred and fifty men able to pay , and they , but partially

      employed , nevertheless , pay twopence in every shilling they earn , which payments upon an average amounts to nearly twenty pounds per week , but eur weekly liabilities amount'to nearly forty pounds . We have been out of the shop fourteen weeks in all-on strike five weeks . We , therefore , appeal to you to holp us under these circumBtanceB , by loan , or gift . We have at all times rendered our assistance to the trades , _ when called upon , and hope they will lend us a ; helping hand under'tb is pressure . We beg to mention , any support you may please to render us will be thankfully received ; and for the satisfaction of all parties shall feel obliged b y all monies b ' eine made payable by post-office order , on Dartford , to Mr George Hudson , and the subscription sheets forwarded tohiro . atthe Bell Inn , Crayford . where the committee sit daily , and from whom an acknowledgment will be forwarded without delay . We are , your obedient servants , ( signed oh behalf of the committee , ) Peter Ward , chairman .

Brethren and fellow workmen , —Wo hope you will see the necessity of joining this mighty movement , as we believe it to be the strongest and best fortified project attempted either in ancient or modern times for the defence of the toiling millions . At the present time we are subject to be curtailed at any moment that our selfish money-grubbing employers may think proper , and we are obliged to submit , or become the inmates of a Bkilly bastile . And this being the case , we consider it our duty to unite for our protection , which example we hope you will universally follow . ¦ James LxioHTOH , President . Michabi , Cotke , Secretary .

      " OniwfortheMUin , '' Friends , —The National Association appears to be passing through an ordeal , which if it is able tostand , will come out immortal . Everything appears to obstruct for a moment its growing power , but" in the end will help to fix its stability , and give it a degree of permanency , which it would not otherwise have possessed . . Besides , we must look for opposition " , and we must not bo disappointed ifBorae of its professed bosom friends turn round t 9 ^ denounce and obstruot'it . But what ef that ? , D , we not know that every great and beneficial movement that is calculated to enhance the happiness of the peonlo . and to raise \

      tne standard ot their moral and social independence , has had to meet w , th opposition and persecution , before it has been able lully to dovelope all its plans of redemption , and if they have failed , Unas only been through the cowardice and cupidity of its members ; either m shrinking from the peiforraance of their duty , or treacherously betraying or frustrating the objects of the society for personal interests . Now do not be alarmed if such should happen to our Association . And iftt i 3 not able to outlive the Blanders of its enemies , and to surmount every obstacle that may be thrown in its way , it is not worth a straw . But it has as yet beat down the attacks of its foes , and we liave no doubt but that it will be rescued from its present ordealand live forever

      , . It is in the existonce and practical workings of this and the sister association , tLat we must look for t ^ e redemption of labour . ( And it is only in pro - portion as the trades rally round our standard ; that SfflZn ^ Hve 68 aBdtheir fomiHe * ° to o ^ S ^ rlft ? n ,, i 7 rfaiea P ^^ ons and the other part remain unaffected , nor can one part of the working classes rise in . independence , andi the other fall into absolute slavery . No , they must eithnr nrn ™ . ™ nr

      retrograde together . And it lays in their own power either to advance in happiness , or sink into wretchedneis . They hold the nature of their future existence in their own hands ; and by proper and judicious management , they may go forward in peaca , and triumphantly recover their forfeited rights . They possess the power , to do this , aad they can exerciselit if they choofo . That power lies in combmation , —in combination upon a National principle , where . the interests and feelings of an injured people may be fully and elearly represented , and where their power will be concentrated and directed , for the entire subversion of tyranny , and for the consummation of labaur ' B rights .

      It is by a national combination alone that wo shall be able to obtain fer labour a fair reward . We have long and often tried our sectional skirmishes , and as repeatedl y have we been routed and overcome . We have been struggling to effect an advance in the price of our labour by our local operations , and . it is notorious that with all our toil and trouble the price of our labour has been getting worse .. Now this should teach ua the inefficaov of local unions , and the necessity there is for a national movement to recovor that which our sectional efforts have lost .

      -To this point the trades are-directing their attention , and to it they must ultimately come . We ate not unmindful ot the universal depression in trade , and of the utter unfitness of many trades to render pecuniary support to . the Association ; but at the Barae time , we kuow their eyes are opening to the importance of our claims , and to the practicability ofburplans . ¦ .. : ¦ , . ¦¦¦¦ ¦ # We are daily pressed for information from trades in every part oi the kingdom , otheraare sending their adhesions , and numbers more are promising to joiu when trade revives , or when they shall have seen what the National Association is capable of doing . Now to these parties we say , you act unwisely , for instead of standing aloof , waiting to see what we shall do , you should come forward and helD ub .

      Witt these few hints as to cur future progress , notwithstanding the trial we are undergoing , you will be able to judge as to what may be expected when we have got our ] whole machinery into opera T * * ? £ not b fri htened at opposition , nor terrined at the rattling of the guns of our opnonents . You are on tho , way to liberty-be firm ! Freedom hails you on ! and let the thought of the suffering and wrongs from which you will deliver your wives and ohildren , keen yon to your dutv .

      nOLYTOWN MINERS . 1 he strike of the miners of Holy town has terminated , upon which we feol disposed to offer a few remarks . First , because some , from ignorance of the facts , or from prejudice , may denounce it as an entire faUure ; and second , because many who ha 7 e manifested the deepest interest in the miner ' s cause , may be discouraged , frem the attempts of interested par . ties to bring into disrepute our promising and progreasing confederation . , ¦ The Holytown strike , we say , will be denounced by many as an entire failure , demonstrating the utter lneihcacy of combination to protect and guard the rights of industry . But this denunciation we consider to be false , or , at least , an unfair deduction , inasrauch as the strike is not an entire failure . That the miners are gone to work at the reduced price we acknowledge , but , at the same time , we are able to show that it is not a complete failure . ,

      livery one will remember that in addition to a reduction of one shilling per day , the miners had presented to them a document to sign .-a document of the blaokest and nioBt infernal character , having for its object the entire subversion of every principle of social and political liberty , and te inflict one of the greatest acts of injustice and tyranny upon the working classes that ever was contemplated by the worst andmcKt savage opponent of human happine « s and domestic comfort . A dooument which , had it bucceeded , wou d have inflicted tho worst possible description of slavery and degradation upon the indus .

      mous poor ot this . country . It would haveprecluded the possibility of its victims for ever , frem meeting together to concert measures for their own wellbeing , except by exposing themselves to a loss of from fourteen to twenty-one days' hard earnings ; to have tun expelled from their homes without the shortest notice ; and alter that , liable to be prosecuted and imprisoned for breach of contract . But , fortunately , this mfernal instrument of bondage and slavery is not imposed . The masters have withdrawn it , and the miners have resmned labour , without subscribing away their rights and privileges . . With this fact before us , we are happy to say that their strike ib not an entire failure . But rather , in successfully resisting the document , they have achieved a highly important triumph . For in onr opinion , nothing in the wide universe weuld hava

      been so dreadfully humiliating . so disgraceful , and so absolutely degrading , as the imposition of so monstrous and mischievous a document . The loss of a shilling per day ( though in itself a serious reduction for a working man to sacrifice , ) is nothing , it is but a cipher compared with thoexaotions and unmixed wrongs and abuses , that the signing of such a deed would have entailed upon them .. To labour and toil for the aggrandisement of others is mortifying to human nature , especially , when with that toil there is a continuous succession Of poverty , of destitution ) of unmerited and unmitigated distress , instead of a constant train of comfort and pjenty . But even this perverted and wretched position is a world of bliss compared with the concomitant evils—the cruel and crushing tendency of that document . '

      In the present state of overworking and ill-remuneratmgthe people , there is still a hope that , by theircombination they will one day be able ^ by their associated power , to overturn and destroy the present system . It is this hope that sustains them ; that nerves them for increased exertion , to be extricated from those abominable , degrading , and prostituting circumstances . But take away this hope and a fatal blew is inflicted upon them . Impose this damnable instrument of cruelty and wrong and you at once blight their prospects , and plunee them into a yawning ,. in ? atiable gulf of inextricable and hopeless despair . To toil hard and long , and to reap impoverishment ; to be industrious and frugal , and still to live a pauper and die in debt , is man&twmalvndnafc

      but to labour under the same circumstances , to exhaust the energies of the bod j and mind in minister , ing to the wealth of the kingdom , and always to remain in poverty under the scorchings and tortures of an insidious'document , without hope , without being allowed to reveal ypur sufferings to another , and to be threatened with increased privations if you dared but propose a remedy to alleviate your distresses , — to do this we say is monstrous , —it is slavery in frightful perfection , —it is absolutely intolerable ! And this , revolting as it is , would have been the positive and inevitable concomitants of the imposition and practical workings of the dooument .

      • ^ W ; , tnenuners having nobly and successfully re-Bisted this document , who will dare te insinuate that they have failed to realise the object of their strike ? Surely none lhe poor miners may have to Buffer BWMaaa ^ 'Wsss » i&s ^ sk 3 noSS " « A "WMraB themselves into a PorSuS ^ TS obtain a remuneration 2 ™^ .

      Again , admitting that the miners strike is a partial tailure , does it follow that the efficiency and adaptation of combination to repel the aggressions of capitalists ia in tho slightest degree compromised or invalidated ? Decidedly not , as we will plainly show . The partial failure of the Holytown miners is the result of faction , of internal dissensions , and antiunionists . There aro many good men and true , who were prepared to contest the right : of industry wiih invading capitalists to the lwt moment , but their noble purposes were blighted , and their bold energies

Nothw would have been able to nave prevailed against tht m . But being divided , thoy fell ; and tbe opponent re *

      joices in their disunited condition that so successfully places labour at his eyrn command . The miners see this , and regret it ; and a determination is at length evinced , that they will organise their power , and by legal and constitutional means , strive to maintain the dignity and honour of labour . They have discovered the sad and destructive ravages of disunion and faction . They see that while they are falling out and devouring each other by their 'divisions and conflicting operations , their enemies are busily concentrating plans for their overthrow . Not only among the miners does this state of disorganisation exist ; no—every trade almost is in a Rimilar position . The working classes are their own destroyers ; they oppose their own interest , and

      barter away each others liberties for a morsel of bread . One part of them are exerting theraBelves to the utmost to improve their trade , while another part appears to be wholly bent upon creating division and disorder . A few | concoc , t plans for their improvement , and no sooner do they commence operations , than another part I will studiously ' enter upon a ceurse of opposition . Should a strike unsue , the antiunionists immediately step in , and take the : places of those aro nobly and resolutely fighting- labour ' s battle . -Thus are the working . cjassescontending against each ether , wasting their time and energy in fruitless and conflicting operations , while the opponent of industry ' pounces , upon , his prey in such ' favourable circumstances , and exultinglybaffles and layi » prostrate the rights of industry . Under such circumstances , hpwi in the name of common sense , is it likely that we can mend our conditioK ? Is is to be expected that we shall be ever

      able successfully to contend against the masterclass ? Surely not . If we would ^ rescue labou r from the trammels and the bondage imposed , upon it by capitalists , wemusfc unite together . We must co-operate upon ' a more oxtei sive principle than heretofore , and that extended principle must be national , and the trades , in one vast associated body , must resolve to sihkorswimito . staHdorfalltogether . The cas&of the miners of floly town eminently points out the ner ee 8 sity of such a confederation , that the trades may promptly : rush to each others aid , in cases of aggreEBions . In conclusion we say , let the people unite together . ; ather and concentrate your energies upon a national principle , and you will be able to command a power for good you never yet , exercised for yourselves ; at which power tyrants will remain in abeyance , and oppressed , but honest labour will reap a due and reasanable . proportion , of the wealth and luxuries it creates .

Their practice was to fellow the hands at pre . cent working at the mill each evening , on leaving their employment , uiing the most abusive language , threats , j and every other speciei ofinsmlt , as they proceeded to their homes , thas rendering the streets at the time frequently impassable , and alarming the inhabi Unts by the uproar creaUd . To meh an extant have time proceedings arrived that it has been found necessary to afford tbe workmen tht protection of the police on their way to and from their employment , and thus they alto came in for a share of the abuse from the turn outs . . On Monday evening the ringltaders of the turn-outs exhibited considerably more violence than usual , and the conduct of some bteame so outrageous that the police felt it necessary to take them into custedy . Thii was the signal for a simultaneous and savage attack upon the police , who , on their way to the Dartven stationhouse , were pelted with stones , and not only kicked , beaten , aad severely wounded , but before' they reached the station a reicue was effected . By this time the mob had increased from a few hundreds to two or three thousand persons , and the police , under the orders of Sergeant Holdrn , were forced , to save their lives , to retreat into the station . " Tha infuriated mob commenced an attack on the lock-up , and thousands of stones , some of them of an immense site , were hurled against the building . The upper nludoWt Were smashed to atoms , and the shatters of the lower part of the building beaten ia . Having continued the attack UK their fury was satiated , the mob retired , bat not btfore the sergeant , pelice constable Thomas Holden , and police constable John Field en , were deeply wounded about the' bead tbe latter so severel y , that it is feared the Iobs of his right eye will be the result . ., ^ . . _ SERIOUS RTnve i « . ^ S = Bg ^ . * ^ NCASUIRE .

      On Tuesday , in consequence of a rumour prevailing that a riot was contemplated of a most fsrmidable character on tbe dosing of Messrs Walsh ' s mill , the magistrates deemed it advisable , as above stated , to solicit the aid of the military . From some accidental informality in the requisition , Major Graham who commands the detachment of 1 st Royals , now stationed at Blackburn , did not at first consider himself Justified in acting upon it , bat a formal requisition having subsequently been signed by Mr Ficlden , magistrate of Wilton , a company of the 1 st Royals , under the command of . Captain Mer . rindon and Lieut . Poole , accompanied by Mr Superintendent Walker and attroug body of police , reached Darweu at three o ' clock . The town was , at the time of their arrival , perfectly quiet , and it is believed the appearance of the troops bad the desired effect npon the rioters , and ofter remaining at D-trwen four or five hears , the troops were marched back to Blackburn by order of the raagistrates , although a strong body of police were still perambnlating the streets of the town .

      A Public Meeting op Unemployed Factory Operatives whs held on Mondayin the market-place , Warrington . There was a very numerous attenddance . Thomas Grimshaw , having been called to the chair , said that the patience with which the working classes had borne their privations was most exemplary . They had far rather work than live en charity . James Savory moved the first resolution — ? That this meeting deeply sympathises with their employers in the present depressed state of trade . ' He did not , he said , blame the manufacturers ; they would work their mills if they could . The famine and the railway gambling had diverted the money from the trade channels ; free trade was to have done wonders in opening markets for produce , but unfortunately we had had to pay for corn in money .. The resolution was seconded by Richard Tipping , and carried with but one dissentient voice . William Lowrinson moved— 'That it is the opinion of this meeting that the past and present position of the factory operatives is a Btate almost bordering on starvation , and our prospects for the future are starvation , disease , and death . ' He said it was now nearly twelve months since the stagnation began the winter was coming on with far worse prospects ; hundreds who then had credit had now none—hundreds who then had comfortable clothing and bedding now had pawned all—many who then had a house to shelter them had now no home . Unless something were done then would be more disease than ever . Other resolutions were passed , and after singing a verse of Burns ' s well-known song A man ' s a man , for a' that , ' the assemblage dispersed . The Traw-onT at Ashtoh and Mojslet . — The Manchester Qvardian says : 'The spinners now on strike at Hoisley still refuse to resume work at the reduction offered by tbe masters . Oa Monday morning the mill of Messrs G'des and Mark Andrew was opened ; but tkere being only two of the hands Billing to commence werk , it was again closed . The spinners of other districts are subscribing towards their support . An address was issued on Monday , the nature of which will be seen from the lnbjoined paragraphs : A complete cessation from labour was the only real resource available , bat how the people were to subsist daring the cessation was the grand otstacle to be overcome . We unhesitatingly declare that the masters ought to have united with the men to carry such a measure , and have lent their countenance and little support to have alleviated the miseries attendant thereon . Tbe majority of the masters were anxious for cessation , but many wanted the men te do it themselves , thu * escaping the odium , if any should arise , from such a bold and general step . Bat as the Blasters wonld he the greatest gainers by the benefits arising frem tbe cessationmaking more plentiful the raw material , and conse . qaentlj cheeper , and enhancing tie price of tho manufatturedarticle by making it searcerin the marktt—they should either have united u » , or told us , in answer to onr resolutions , printed in almost everyjjournal in England , they weuld have nothing to do with us ; but let the present commercial disease werk its own cure , and wait , with the gravity of the Turks , the fetal principles of predestination . As they have united with us , and as we have tried to carry out the cessation without any hostile feelings , fcnt with the best intention of btoenting all concerned , and have failed , it now becomes onr duty to do tbe best we caa under existing circumstances , and if wefail , orhavefailed , let the will be taken for the deed .
