      A Trades' Delegate meeting , comprising npwarcU of one hundred delegates from the various metropolitan trades , assembled at the Bell Inn , in the Old Bailey , on Thursday evening March the 9 th . " Mr Edwards ( eompx ) sit « r ) , was called to the chair , and said that meeting had been convened ta consider ( what means could be taken to alleviate the alarming - distress that prevailed amongot the operative classes j of tbia country , and to make known their depIora&Je i condition to the government . _ He hoped that eacb i delegate would eschow all politics that did not bear ] special ); on the subject for whieh they had met ; for i hi 9 owb trade , he thought , ft the advertisement and I stamp duties were repealed , it vroald give a stimulus to the printing business . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr BitsAyoRCE ( weaver ) , lose to move the following resolution : — That it i « She opinion of this Trades' delegate meeting that her Majesty ' s ministers ought to be made ac- ' quainted with the destitute conftltton of the operative I population ,. oonsrgoont on the want of employment ; as ¦ also with the avesns- which , in the opinion of the working \ clfinauB themnelves , if adopted , weald necessarily give ; emplojmi'Qt to a-considerable number of- bands , and so j far mitigute She alarming distress which prevails . Ha said the silk- weavers were in a most deplorable state , and hadlbn ? felt the necessityof an alteration , !

      , 'and to effect this- the ? believed sorae- dfcmon&Sratioi ! Should" benmle . ( 'Kiear , hear . ) SipRoberb Peel's alteration of import dbties had very materially affected them . He belieyed had the present fa&s aysism of rolitical econorsy not prevailed , not a Soorn would be unemployed . { Ilear , bear . ) Mr Bel&Force here read a statistical'taWe , given in as evidence befere a eommittaa-of'tha-flon . se « if Common . 8 , strongly illustrative of Ilis-argument . The free-trade system bad reduced wnges-one half and causecr ' a > preat want of employ ; be believed 1 he was under tho'mark- w&en he-said more than twet birds of their body ' were invoifcntary idlera ( llear ,. hear . )

      Mr Essbrt ( toitor )"> in seconding tha > resolution , safrf , he thought' their grievances were soc / ai not political—( hoar , hear , an&toud shouts of "No , no > - tho- alopsellers , with ivtat was technically called their ' Re > j > aJ warrants , ! 3 > ad much af&cted their trade ; thoae slopaellers ware little better than mere salesmen , in his trade there-were many thousand who had'not earned four-shillinga per week for » -longti ; ne paofe ( tlenr ) ^ Dficy-grucibled in pri rate and sometunas in public , and the press , especially the Tijbbo and the Sun , rernaedto moke their want 3- known . 'Phey sntnetimes seed-bhamHor parky purposes . Thfi TjHnshad more than once refused to make- thei ? grievances knowDi even as an advertisement . Much of the tailoring business was done throuphthe instrumentality of what were technically called ' sweaters , ' a species of middlemen , who wrong tho

      sw 8 at and blood out of the workers ; he di-d'not think it was any good , sotting up statistics , the government waa already acquainted with theircircumstancea , bat had-taken no steps to better- their condition . ( . Htfar , hear . ) If a me-: ab » r of padiament was aslied to- c o anything fsr them he said , ' Oh , they had free trade , competition would cause things to find ; their-level , the workmen sanst depeivd on their own energies £ b-at , notwithstatding , all this legislators and governments did interfere , and that aost perniciously . Md they not contract for the clothing of th& coast guard , the police , and military ? and were not the convicts , in the Model prison ,, employed to manufacture goods , and were not sash poods broeght into the market to compete with the goods made by the virtuous independent labourer ?—( loud 1 cheers )/—this he called n most pernidana interferenee .. { .. Repeated cheering ' .

      Mr Curtis ( lupholstarer ) said , hia trade had con-1 enrred in the calling this meeting because they be- j lieved thnt much po ? erty prevailed- amongsii the tmdps which was unseen and unheard . ( Hear , kear . ) It was reported that all the furnit » ra used ia the ' new wing of Buckingham Palace , waa-to be imported freni Germany ; if this was the case the aristocracy wr-uld follow suit , and we should hav 9- as great a rage for German fashions as had existed ft ? Paris fashions heretofore * ( Hear , hear . ) Mr IIornsbv ( weaver ) said , ho was quits certain that , by the patronage bestowed oa- foreigners by the Sovereign , great harm was done to the home trade . He could assure them so great waa the suffering of the SpitalSelda weavers , that many of them had cut up thoi ? looms to warm their unclothed , half-starved children . ( Sensation . ) A small particle of rice was their only sustenance from day to day . ( Great sensation . ) He trusted the trade 3 would have a

      demonst'ation—a strong demonstration—that should say to the gavernmonfc' If you will not do your duty by us , we will take affairs into our own hands . ' ( Loud cheira . ) Mr Whiddon ( East-end cabinet-makers ) said , he knew that some of the trades were aristocratic , but he was happy to see such a meeting as that assembled . He looked on it as the beginning of a more brotherly feeling . ( Loud cheers . ) The slop selling Undoubtedly injured ail trades . It affected theirs . Stuff was made up to sell , and vended at little more than the cost of the raw material . ( Hear , hear . ) A chest of drawers , for which they once obtained twi' pounds for making , was now knecked together for ten shillings . These things depreciated the talue of labour , and must tend to bring down the aristocracy of the trade to the very lowest pitch . ( Hear ,

      hear . ) Ho contended that it was utterly impossible ti » discuss this question without entering on politics . ( Hear , hear . ) The want of representation by the millions was at the bottom of it all . ( loud cheers . ) And , unless they did interfere with politics , he did not think the numerous obnoxious lavra that were on the Statute Book would ever be repeated . Sure he was ( hat Parliaments , constituted as the present was , would never benefit their condition- ( Hear , hear . ) lie hoped to see their meetings increase , until every trade in this vast metropolis and its suburbs hsd its representatives present . ( Ilear , hear ) For his part he did not hope—or rather expect—any permanent benefit until they had achieved a political object . This once obtained , he thought the surplus hands would soon be found beneficial employment on the land . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr Rkardon ( tailor , ) said , he firmly believed if the people wished for redemption that they must achieve their own salvation . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr Reardsn » ave an illustration of the sweating system by showing how women vrere made the manufacturers of greatcoats . Not interfere with politics ! Why an employer he knew had , when the income tax was put on , reduced bio wages so that he absolutely made upwa-ds © f £ 100 by the imposition of that tax . ( Lnu « hter and applause . ) The mastem appeared to be increasing their wealth , as they had bo far gone on , that they now had their drawing ; rooms ,

      counting houses , carriages , and , in some instances , their hunters and hounds , whilst the operatives , who produced all , »? ere left to the miseries of a cold Poor Law bastilo . ( Loud cheers . ) The Press had been alluded to , a portion of it was completely with them ; be Looked on the Northbrjt Stab as the true working man ' s friend , —( loud cneera , )—and he was delighted to see Mr Stiillwood , the reporter for that journal , amonestthem . ( Loud cheers . ) They muBt do their ewn business if they wanted ifc well dona , and remain at their poat until the object was effected . ( Loud cheers ) . . . . , _

      Mr Noqubt ( silk weaver , ) said , the introduction of poods from foreign countries had done great lnrm . He was not opposed to free trade on fair principle ? , vz ., the exchange of the surplus goods of oneooumry for the surplus produce of another country . ( Hear , hear . ) He conceived that if the government would grant ua the land it would , be our Balwion ; the governraefit cauld raisenioncy foe other Darposes , why not to put the surplus population on the soil ? ( Loud cheer * . ) Why not ? because they were not of the people . and they believed it would make the starving people independent . ( Cheeia . ) Mr Jima ( boo maker , ) said , be was surprised when the chairman gave the recommendation not to meddle with politics . ( Hear , hear . ) The Chairman said he must be understood to mean , except bo far as it concerned the question for which they had met .

      Mr Jambs , m continuation , said they had been trying most strenuously to benefit their condition for the last fifteen or twenty years , but they , had not effected it . Why ? Because thoy steered clear of politics . ( Loudchears . ) One dalega-a had said it did not matter what form of government they were under , but he differed with him . Monarchy appeBiol 10 him to have failed in upholding the rights of industry , —( hear , hear , )—and hence he said w « must

      Untitled Article

      have Republican government or some other f ^ m ° f complete representative government . ( Great » Pplause . ) The patronage of the monarch and toe aristocracy had been alluded to , but he asked why did they allow the few to oppress and trample down the many ? ( Loud cheers . ) This was entirely a political question . He was ene of a deputation who had waited on Lord Ripon and Mr Joseph Hume when the income tax was first imposed , and the answer made to their complaints was , ' Oh ! you must pHt up with this , —faith must bo kept with the public creditor , they must not bo robbed ; ' but what he ( Mr

      James ) wanted to know was , why should journeymen bootmakers be robbed to support either stock-job * bera or ariBtoorats ? ( Loud cheero . ) They were asked tn state what they wanted , —he boldly avowed that he wanted more wages for less work . ( Loud shouts of 'hear , hear . ' ) He was sorry to inform them that one half of the City men's men were out of' employ , and if this meeting intended to benefit the operatives it must at anoe declare its determination never to rest satisfied until they had a fair representation in the Commons House of Parliament , ( Great applause J

      Mr Wiuiamb ( cabinet maker ) said , he was much gratified to find a meeting of that kind assembled . It must eventually be productive of great good . ( Hear , hear . ) He believed the government wa 3 aware of the existence of great distress amongst the operatives ; indeed , the Excise returns Bhovred it . ( Hear , hear . ) He fully agreed witn those who had recoiHroended the not blinking of politics . ( Hear , heap . ) He thought that every young man when he merged from hia apprenticeship should understand perfectly his political condition in society . ( Hear , hear . ) Some thirty years ago England was the workshop of the world ; but we had become saddled with a debt of eight hundred millions , which burdened U 8 with an immense weight of taxation . Railway speculation had become very rife . Little shepkeepera had imagined thpt they were all going to become ' King HudsoDs , ' and all these had tended

      much t& the present depression of trade , and the cansequent poverty of the operative . ( Hear , hear . ) He apprehended that a struggle for improvement , without first effecting a political change , would be useless , the produce would be swallowed up with rates , taxes , and tithes . ( Hear , hear . ) He thought they should , aa speedily as possible , effect a radical change in the House of Commons . ( Hear , hear , ) Tbey had seen a change across the water within the last few days ; and , mark , al . most the first act of the provisional government was to look to the interest of labour . ( Loud cheers . ) The French people were promised a , Minister of Industry —( cheers)—and why ? because Universal Suffrage now prevailed in that country—( loud cheers ) —and be trusted the working classes of this country would' press onwards , and never cease their exertions until they alse bad "Universal Suffrage . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr Carter ( carpenter ) said , he waa excited by two opposite sentiments , grief , and joy—grief , that they had oceasion to meet ; Joy , that they had the spirit to meet and demand ' a redress of grievances . ( Hear , hear . ) He did not liesitste to say , that there were 60 , 000 persons out of employ in the metropolis at this time . ( 'Hear , hear . ) He thought that all the information gleaned from the delegates should be put in Bhape , and distributed throughout the country . ( H . ear , bsar . ) ' The revolution that ha < i just transpired had ) , in a word ,, changed the poU-tiee ot Europe : it had given an irupetue to freedom that all the tyrants of the earth could not stop . ( Loud cheerB ) They had often boasted that England was the greatest nation in fctie world . Was it not

      monstrous thi > 1 ) sha should also be the raost distressed nation in the world ? ffiear , hear . ) If taxes were taken off the raw materials , there would be more employ . ( Hear , hear . ) ' He thought tha beat way to abolish aristocracy amongst tbe trades was to equalise wages . ( Hear ,, hear . ) He trusted they would present unity of thought and of action , that a committee should be appointed to collect and publish statistics- of the prevailing distress , that a reduction of the hours of labour should be _ enforced , and that a public meeting , or some other important demonstration , should be made . ( Much applause ) Mr Fbreinakdo ( silk-weaver ) , said ire did not as > ree with the delegates , who censured rallWajS . He thought the ? had bren productive oi much good by

      employing labour , ( Hear , hear . ) Another delegate bad said the-present system of government vras not calculated to benefit the people . Now ha was as much in favour of Repufrlioan government as a . ny man in that room ,. but Se did not believe that any government would benefit the people , unless they were compelled . The present Whig : government had refused to see a deputation from the silk weaverB . Free-trade had a most blasting effect on the weavers of Spitalfieldg . Ha contended that no imports-should be admitted so long- as- there was a surplus- in the country . Hie would like each delegate to impress hia trade with a Srm determination to compel the government to do its dut 7 . ; and if they did not ,, never to rest satisSeduntH tbay had one that would . ( Loud

      cheers . ) If the working classes once made up then mind to this step , they might then rest assured ' the day of redemption draweth nigh . ' ( Loud' cheers . ) Mr IsAifl .- Wjmom" { shoemaker ) said ,, be did not think the resolution went far enough . He thought it useless to appeal to parses over whom-they had DO control , —( -iear . heaV >—and it was equally useleBB to discuss what duty had been taken of this or that particular trade ,, but it was very neeeesary that we should know how to benefit our condition . From his knowJedga of trade societies , he WS 9 convinced that nothing could be done for them without they firBt possessed a direek eontroul in the affairs of government . ( Hear , hear . ) o « e would think the weavers had sniiSciently solved that problem— ( hear , hear)—to suppose that tbe government was not aequsinted with our conditioa , was to suppose an impossibility . ( Hear , hear . ) The position we afc present occupied ,

      appeared tn him exactly the position the government wished us to hold —( hear , hear )—but the eventsthat have transpired in Paris , within- the last fortnight , have taught us much . ( Lond cheers . ) He bad asked Sir de L" « y Evans the other night , * if the working classes did not pay all rates , rents , and taxes , ' but the general dared not answer hia question . ( Hear , hear . ) Our caae was a desperate one , and he much feared we should have to apply a desperate remedy . ( Hear , hear . ) He did think the time had fully arrived when we should declare that no permanent good could be done until we were al ) represented in Parlia . mptit , and having obtained this , they would be no difficulty in obtaining our social rights , which th e events in Paris had fully illustrated—( loud cheer" ) —Mid the step further , he wished to take , was to demand representation in Parliament , ( Loud cheers . Mr Wilson concluded by moving a rider to that effec t .

      Mr Rogers ( tailor ) suggested that the rider should forra a separate resolution . - Mr Lukb Kino ( ladies' shoemaker ) said , he fully agreed with the rider . One of the delegates had re commended a reduction of taxation . Well , thoy had the duty off leather , and what were they the better for it ? ( Hear , hear . ) Another delegate bad said , if they had the Land , they would be as bad off as ever . But if representation and the Land went hand in hand , it would be found truly beneficial , and be wa 9 satisfied the first act of a Universal Suffrage Parliament would be to give the waste lands to the people , OK Which to employ tbe surplus labour—and witb ite 1

      jhen might they again eay poet—Evwy rood of land maintains its man . ' ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Bakbrk ( type founder ) supported the rider . He was satisfied the best way was to get a parliament that -would take an intere&t in . their welfare . ( Hear ) hear . ) The present government knew perfectly welt of their distressed condition . Thousands ot pounds had been spent for returns , which had afterwards been disposed of for waste paper—and hence he said , let us go at once for Universal Suffrage . ( Cheers . ) After some remarks from Mr Chiko ( tin-plateworker ) , and Mr Hrai ( oordwaiDer ) , and Mr WlLSONi

      Mr PEBL ( of the United Trades ) said , as the rider had not been seconded , as the representative of 60 , 000 men , he would secoi . d it . ( Loud cheers ) The Chairman said , he thought it would bs the duty of the Committee to see the proposition whioh the rider embraced carried , and as all were taxed , ho thought no' man could , in common fairness , deny that all should be represented . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr D « : u : force said a few words in reply , and declared himself Btrongly in favour of every man being represented in parliament , but wished the tider to be put as a substantive resolution . The rider was for the time withdrawn , and the resolution carried unanimously . Mr Curtis ( upholsterer ) moved the second resolution ) for the appointment of a committee of twelve

      persons . Mr Holmes ( shoemaker ) , in seconding it , contended that the present House of Commons did not understand our position , and hence the necessity of having one that did , and what we wanted must be done for and by ourselves . He thought the system that allowed thousands to starve because the queen did not patronise our fabrics , must be a bad one—nay , a ridiculous one . Why , his wife could wear silks , if she could get them , as well as any queen . ( Loud cheers . ) One of the objects—nay , the primary object—must be to demand the suffrage for the whole people . ( Load cheers )

      . Mr Black ( carpenter ) had never felt more delighted in his life , Mr Clung seemed to have a wish to know what the delegates were . He begged to tell him that he was a Chartist , and gloried in the name . ( Hear , hear . ) He was resolved at all meetings to press this question on it . It was useless to petition a government who knew aotbing about ns ; in fact , they were , as Feargus O'Connor ao often said , as ignorant of our affairs as an Irish pig was of geometry . ( Laughter . ) fie was also a disciple of the Lnnd Plan , and believed under a universal suffrage regime they would find it exceedingly beneficial—they wanted Universnl Suffrage—the key—and then the rest would follow . We are told that when the impeachment was presented Guizot laughed immoderately : when our bill of grievances ia presented , perhaps RuBsell would laugh immoderately—but if he did let him beware that he too waa not compelled to take himself off . ( Cheers . )
