      ADDRESS OF THE LONDON TRADES' DELEGATES TO THE TRADES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . 1 Awake , arise , or Da for ever fallen !

      F « xow \ te . —Having beea delegated by the Trite oTWlon to frame a cm- ^^ Sur ^ e n Amit , for your approval , the fol . S toaameEtal princplw , which we hate adopted after long and senous deliberation , u being S Seated to extricate all class * of the cominanity who live by indushy , from their present deeraded wd prostrate condition- and we earnestly lecommend the Trades throughout the empire , to lose no time in concentrating the intelligence , the energies , and the means they pessess , to carry out those great and important principles which we propoie as the basis of a great National Trades Union .

      1 . That the land being tbe gift of the Almighty to the people universally , ought to be held in sacred trust by the State for their benefit , and not be exclusively possessed by a fractional part of tbe community : 2 . That the elective franchise should be extended to every man twenty-one years of age , of sound mind and uncontaminated by crime . 3 . That education should be secured by the Government for the people ; and that such education , on the part of the State , should be of a strictly scientific and secular character , without in any way interfering irith the rights of parents to give such religious inslruction to their children as they may think fit .

      4 . That those laws which restrict the expansion of the circulating medium should be repealed , and a representative , currency forthwith issued by the government , eaual to the amount of wealth offered ia exchange . . 5 . That as Great Britain and Ireland contain a seperabufldanceofland , skill , and capital , to profitably employ and comfortably support more than double the present population , the government should introduce a bill establishing self-supportiHg Home Colonies , to " give immediate employment to the numerous but compulsory unemployed of our population .

      6 . That the application of machinery should be made available to tbe interests of the whole community ; and that foreign manufactures , u also goods made in prisons and workhouses , ought not to be introduced into tbe home market except upon such conditions as will secure the tradesman and artisan from the ruinous consequences of unequalled competition . 7 . That for the just protection of labour , local boards of trade should be established , composed of an equal number of masters and men , under the superintendence of a Minister of Labour , whose office would be to give an impetus to the industrial operations of the nation , and act as an impartial arbitrator between employere and employed . 8 . Tbat taxation should be equalised , by substituting for all other taxes a graduated property tax .

      These are the principles which , ia our opinion , ought to form tbe basis af a great National Union ; and we now call upon the Trade * of Great Britain and Ireland to unite in one firm and indissoluble kond , and carry out the objects propounded in the foregoing constitution . We hare placed as the first proposition tbe universal right of the people to the soil , as we are strong ia our conviction that the usurpation of the land is the primary cause of the distress under which tie mass of the people are now suffering .

      Yes , let it every where be proclaimed in the raost ssiemn and positive nanuer , that there is no hope whatever of any real amelioration in the deplorable condition of the workmen of this country , so long as the land remains locked up from their labour , and they are driven from the bosom of the soil which ought to yield them sustenance and support by their industry . As the earth is the great primary source from whence is derived all thai is useful to the comfert and sustenance of man , we demand that we shall be permitted to labour on our country ' s soil for the production and distribution of wealth requisite for our subsistence , and the surest mode of increasing the national prosperity and resources , and imparting solidity and security to the Commonwealth .

      "We demand that the elective franchise shall be extended to every man who has attained the proper age to exercise the rights of citizenship , as the only means by which labour can obtain a fair and equitable protection by the legislature , in common with all other interests of the community , and that the male adult population of Great Britain and Ireland shall no longer be treaiedas outlaws by the constitution of their country . We are strong in the belief that the virtues or vices of a nation are in a great measure the result of its legislation , we are convinced that the wisdom of the empire can be best collected in the legislature by a complete representation of tbe people .

      We a e deeply impressed ! with the belief that ignorance and poverty are the parents of crime—the evil counsellors that wage continual war against the peace and progression of society , and wholly incompatible with a well-governed state—the safety or prosperity of the empire , or the happiness of the people . We therefore declare , that it is the duty of fte government to secure a real practical , scientific , and secular edneation for the people , as the only

      a ' . ans of fully developing the genius and inttllect of the nation , and rendering it subservient to the wterest of the whole community . Since it is decreed by the organic lam that govern the constitution of man , that the mind is inseparable from the body , and that whatsoever tends to oppress the one is equally injurious to the other—and as the body can only receive strength and support from the fruits arising from labour , as the mind receives knowledge and vigour from instruction , it follows that a

      sufficient proportion of aliment for each is indispensable to the rational existence tf man ; Wa furthermore declare , that it is the duty of a government to afford every facility to the people to provide for themselves nsefal employment ; and a 3 we believe that would be best effected bj the establishment of self-support , ing Hope Colonies , we therefore urge the Trades of fiie United Kingdom to impress npon the government the necessity of introducing a Bill into Parlkment to suction the formation of those industrial establishments , as the best and most profitable means of providing useful employment for the people . We have hestnwpi ? mnpli mnfU . Ui : _ We have bestowed much consideration

      upon « ur money laws , and we proneunce them to be most permcionstoindustry , and fatalfothe best interests of the-nation . We therefore declare , that what we require is , a currency that will enable the community ? u \ te 5 , ^^ , OdatedwUliaa "strmnentof J ^ t and-eamfcable esrcliaiise , and not continue to be ^ tem ^ yp ] M ^ b ytteanMt ^ fiadraa ^ MhevalM of money , m relation to the articles for whichatu exchanged , arising from the restriction < md usurpation of the circulating medium , which invests the monied power with the secret and subtle mechanism of the most iaj quitous awry and

      We next appetite you as thinking men , sndask you whetherthere be not something fearfully wrong in that state of society which systematically . converts workmen into prisoners and paupers , and-employa them in their de ^ rtded position ia the manufacture of articles which are brought into the market to competcana reduce to their standard sthe industrious , workmen , who have struggled to escape these living catacombs of human xaisery in which tiS& unequal competitojs . are conficed . BehoH ,. th « f , in that the cause « f our declaration why goods made k prisons and workhouses cught not to fee brought into unequal competition with the tradesman and artisan !

      Having said < hus much upon the main features of the fundaments ! principles of the constltation , we now call upon you to unite with all the earnestness of men who have consecrated themselves to their redemption . Eecollect , ysn most ba the instruments of yow own regeneration ! If ever there was a time in the history of your country when union was required among aU classes who live by labour , the present Fnod above all others demands you should unite Bear in mind , you have but one of two alternatives It ! * , l ™«* « t to allow your-CMdrea t 0 '

      ralleled epoch of our country ' s oppression . We call aloud with one unanimous voice to the genius of British industry , and bid it arise and know itself , and behold that the impious hand of privileged and selfish legislation is upon it , and threatens it with destruction , which can only be averted by union , and a correct knowledge of the causes by which it is enslaved . Finally , we ask you , in this our concluding appeal , whether you are prepared to sit down tamely and look on with indifference at your own destruction , while " all the nations of Europe are making such gigantic strides in the great and glorious manumission of liberty . If you are , then we tell

      you frankly that ' you . justly deserve the fate that awaits you , and the execration of future generations . Bat we have far higher hopes of the men of the Trades than that . Our aspirations are far beyond the regions of despair . Let the oppressed take courage , and the innocent cheer up . If you will only unite , all will yet ge well . Unite , then , without delay , and you ' may rely upon the energies and de'VOtian , of the Trades Delegates . Signed on their behalf , James O'Lkary , Chairmaa , y OT # A . E .

From one small village alone fifteen applloaats appeared at the Board of Guardians

      ob Saturday lait for relief . Unfortunately this happens at a time whem the farmers cannot employ their regular number of kands « n account of the wet weather . Many meohauics , too , are thrown of employment , perhaps for the winter , to this we nay add , from th § same cause , a geMcal depression of trade . Should the late rains be followed by sharp frosts , tae greater put of the turnips aid coleieed on loir leads , we muck fear , will be de . stroyed . A respectable farmer residing in the neighbourhoed , who has fifty acres of eoleseed standing on laid whieh had been matured with bouts , does sot think th « crop will resltse £ t , owiag t « the inundation .

      SutauuK DwKBMioir . —A few days ago , two human skeletons , appartntly the remains of a 4 hletio young man , were discovered by some workman employed upon an excavation on th « Wbitehaven and F « rness Rtllway . They were found lying clow together , in an enclosure about eighteen inches balow the surface of the earth , and about fifty yards from bigb water mark , with no ramalftsol any buttons or other remnants of wearing apparel near them : It is sipposed that the bodies mut have bHn buried there for thirty years . The remains wore examined by Messrs Lawson , of Bgrement ; but whilst preparations were staking for the decent interment of tht skeletons , both of them were stolen , and no clue has yet been obtained as ) to the parties engaged in that singular ant mysterieui depredation .

Whilst going at its full speed , and just before reaching the points , the engine driver noticed a coal train in front of him . Steing that a collision was ineviu abta , he immediately shut off tke steam , and tried to mak * tka eolltsltn as slight as possible . The engine , how » T « r , dashed into tb « fifth waggon of the coal train , smashing it Into A hundred ptews ; at the same timethe engine tender and tae irtwl « of the carriage ! nere more or leti shattered . The waggons of the coal train were

      also farced off the line , and tbe passengers in tbe express train ( about forty in number ) were all thrown from their seatf and driven against eack ether . A lady and two geatkmen were Hvertly injured , and ona party had several of his teeth knocked out . The otb . tr passengers escaped with bruises , mor « or less severe . The accident was owing entirely to the mismaaagement ef the driver of the coal waggon , who , when he saw what had taken place , took to his feet , and maie his escape . His duty was to bare waited for the express train to pass the points before he ventured on the line , bit in spite of tbe signal which was put up , he nemed determined ta risk the lives of the passengfts as well as his etrn . The police wire immediately sent in search of the driver . The passengers , after waiting nearly two hours , were taken to Manchester by the Oldham train .

      men and inhabitants dared not leava until the fire was quits out in the yard , during which time the other stack was rendered quite worthless , although they had sue oteded in extinguishing the fire , after some hard labour and cutting the stack in pitcss . —About the sasae time the second fire was discovered some wretohes entared Mr S . Karth'a premises aad stole property to the amount of £ 140 , besides clothes , parts of which were dropped by the way as the thieves made thtlr escape .

The medical officors of the prison did not , < howover , consider bis case so dangerous as hla frieuds had represented it , being merely a severe attack of asthma , and recommended that he should be removed to the prison hospital , This course Mr Lalor stoutly resisted , doubtlessly relying upon the power of extreme unctitn and priestly Isflaance to tffeot his liberation ; and the result shows that he has not b « en disappointed .

      The correspondent of the Uobhimq Chbonicih Beads the following xpoinra of the so-called insurreetlon at Glonmel .

      ST 4 TB or THB SOOTH , I have ascertained that the official and other accounts described all parts of the southern province as totally free from any movements of an insurrectionary character . There are Indications of agrarian crme in seme districts , which , in all likelihood will become much more deolded as the winter advances ; but the syetem of political organisation , that had been so rampant in Jalylast , reams to have evaporated , and rebellion and agitation are at a sad discount . The spirit , no doubt , survives , and the materials of disoonteni and disaffection still txlst , but they have bsen so crushed by tha reowt proceedings , to many families have goffered rein , and the entire prospects of the diiaffeoted have faeca to utterly absurd and chimerical , that all confidence ia s « ch msvomeats is destroyed , and no rebeliion . mongar oan now find an audience .

      The recent * insurrectionary movements at Clomnel ' are bow admitted oa all hands to have been a monstrous exaggeration , a mwo paper plot—worked out ioplorloutly to product a temporary alarm , It is curious that the affair excited net the slightest apprehension in Clonmel—ney , it causad very little attention , One of the principal Quakor merohants of that town has been iu Dublin for some days . When the account of the' insurrection' arrived on Friday last , ho was utterly Ignorant about it , and , because he received no inteUigcnea on

      the subject , he was disposed to regard it as a false alarm unwonhy of the least attention , However , the mer ' chant wrote fsr information to the firm with whioh ho is conneoted ; and yesterday he r tcfcived a roply tethe effect tbat the matter was altogathsr so trifling as to ba undeserving et serious notice ; that a number of foolUh people had certainly Wen arrested ; but as thai * » Tmi » armament consisted of a stogie pike , in a towawitha formidable garrison , the affcir was oaly remSJl 5 ftj UaludcrousnasB especially as the local authorlSs had

This town was thrown luto a ttate of the grtattet excitement on Thursday week , about nine o ' clock in the evening , by the ptlice running from their loggings to barracks , where the greatest bustle was going on , getting under arms anal preparing for something extraordinary , At half-past ten o ' clook a patrol tf about twenty men marched out of the barrack and went over the Old Bridge , to the Watrrford side of the rim , and about eleven o ' clock a large body of constabulary , tegether

      with a detachment of the 61 th riglmtnt , under Major Duberly , the entire body under ths command of Col .

Tat collection of rate is going on here at auoh a paoe that not a day passes without a distress auction of goods and chattels at the Mala Guard , Every day there is a sale .
