It is the opinion of Mr . Samuel Gubsey , ana other great financial authorities , thatifsomething is not done to reduce it , it will , nltittately , dragthis country down into Utterruin and it 13 quite certain that , until thismonater-load is lightened , no very perceptible rednction of annual expenditure can take place . The money-lords have had it all their

They have turned - he screw « , tight that symptoms of collapse axe everywhere evident The reaction upon themselves is beginning , and they will have to leap part of the whirlwind they have sowed . iJy gradual , or by sudden means , then- grasp of the throat of the nation must be unloosed in order that it may breathe more freely .

      try . to appease the popular demand by offering a "little go" of his own . Sir Joshua TVAtMstEr and hi » friends should be prepared for such a move in the best of all waysnamely , by the determination not to abate one jot of the demands they make . Anything short of them will be a mockery , a delusion , and a snare ; and if they draw back from the position in which they have secured the cooperatiou of the Chartists , that body -will certainly be bound to oppose them , and to exert aUiits energies for the attainment of the fullest possible measure of Representative Reform .

      In the interval which will yet elapse before the re-assembling of Parliament , the advocates of Reform and Retrenchment should every-• Brhere bestir themselves vigorously .

      QUEEN ADELAIDE . The death of the Queex Dowager hat given occasion for the display of a great deal of that maudlin sentimentality , and canting loyalty , which is common on such events . We have no doubt that she was a very good lady in her way , but certainly the virtues which her eulogists most strenuously insist upon , namely , her large donations to charitable and reli gions purposes , is subject to a large deduction . If the British Parliament had not been so lavish

      of the people ' s money in the first place , we question whether her subscriptions would havebeen so numerous . £ 100 , 000 a year , and a town and country palace , were no mean reversionary windfalls for the daughter of the Prince of a petty German territory , not half the size of the smallest county in England , and "whose metropolis was inferior , in number of bouses and population , to many of our own rnral market towns . We could have received three-fifths , instead of one-fifth of such

      an allowance back again , with the greatest composure . Besides , to what purposes were a greater portion of these donations applied ? Merely to extend the influence , and improve the position , of the Clergy . They pocketed the pounds in one shape or other , and , of course , took care that the praise should be duly paid in return . The people were taxed , to put a large sum of money in one person ' s

      pocket She gave a part of it back to her favourites , and a few smaller crumbs fell to the share of the very destitute , and then we "Were told to be very grateful for the benevolence and charity of the Royal Lady . We trust the day of such monstrous allowances to Itoyal Personages has gone by , never to setorn . With the mass of sweltering misery and destitution which exists around us—with

      the middle classes struggling , in tbo face of a fierce competition and falling prices , to pay leavy rates and taxes—it is a national disgrace that such a disproportion should exist between the income of the idle non-producer , and the industrious producers and distributors of wealth . Nearly 1 , 000 , OOQZ . sterling has been paid to the deceased Queejt . Why , that sum would have established Ten Model Self-Supporting Colonies , in as many counties , for the education and industrial training of the juvenile pauper and criminal population . It would have rescued thousands from destitution , vice , crime , and a shameful end—and have added to the Strength , wealth , and happiness of the whole

      empire . Suppose that some rational Member of Parliament was to rise , at the opening of the Session , and propose that the lapsed pension should be applied to that object ? What an outcry there would be against him ! Yet we are content to squander millions in this unjustifiable , and extravagant fashion , while the masses of the people grow np untaught , nncared for—in the midst of the most vicious and debasing influence ! . Verily , we have yet to learn the first principles of Justice , Civilisation , and Christianity .

      THE " TIMES " AND THE HUNGARIAN EXILES . TO THE EDITOEOF TOE TIMES . Sm , —Your paper , of which only accumulated numbers occasionally reach us , contains unfounded imputations on the Hungarian refugees , and in particular on the late President Governor of Hun-As having been , during several months , and up to the present tiae attached to and never separated fcom the person of M . Kossutb , and as being perhaps as cognisant as himself of his private transactions and affairs , I am enabled circumstantially to refute the charges to which you have attempted to give currency . Beingthe only person , beside Count Casimer Battbyani , who accompanied him when he retired from Arad , I consider myself so far implicated in your general remarks as to feel entitled to claim the insertion in your columns of the facts which constitute that refutation . .

      CLASSES . Brother Proletarians , The present situation of the Chartist prisonera ( Shaw andJBEzER , ) confined in Newgate prison occupied the attention of the City Court of Alderman on Tuesday last . It appears , tbat forsome time after the commencement of their incarceration , they were treated withsome degree of humanity ; but for months past they have been subjected to the severest restrictions . It is alleged , as a reaBon for this

      change of treatment for the worse , that Bezer and Shaw " misconducted themselves , " and abused the privileges , " permitted to them . S ? ^ , " misconduct" and "abuse" ig not stated - but it would appear , from the statement of Mr . Alderman Wilson , that one offence consisted of " writing to , and receiving from Chartists outside , letters imbued with tlieir dangerous politics . '' Mr . Alderman Cabdbw "believed they had connexion with the Chartist journals , by which so much mischief had been propogated , and that they cooperated to generalise the venom of the

      doctrines to which they were known to he favourable , bur Peter . Laurie added , that" The abuses they had committed , extended to attempts to excite political sympathies of themost dangerous kind , and the magistracy of London had resorted to the most judicious expe : dients to remed y an evil of such magnitude . "' It appears , from the subsequentstatement of Alderman Sidney , that the "judicious expodients' approved of by Sir Peter Laurie in .

      eluded confinement of the two Chartists in the " condemned cells . " The other " expedients " we shall probably not be informed of until Shaw and Bezor are a t liberty ; but the character of their general treatment may be inferred from Mr . Alderman Sidney ' s significant words : — " He could not help saying , that prejudices had been strongly exercised against the prisoners , and that in their case the laws of humanity had been violated . "

      From the tone of Messrs . Wilson , Carden , and Laurie , it is evident that whatever "breaches of discipline , " or other " misconduct , " Shaw and Bezer may liave been gu % of , their worst offence has been that of holding certain political sentiments , giving expression to those sentiments , and endeavouring to excite sympathy amongst their friends " outside . " Their onl y connexion with this , or any other Chartist journal , has been that of using its columns to make known their sufferings and grievances . Was it not natural

      that they should seek the sympathy and help of their friends ? Was it not not honourable for them to adhere to their political principles , notwithstanding their incarceration ? If so , what condemnation would he too severe for those magistrates and aldermen who have dared to punish such " offences" by incarcerating the " offenders" in " condemned cells , " and otherwise treating them in such a manner as to cause one of their own body to declare , that " the laws of humanity had been violated ? " - '

      The foolish shortsi ghtedness of ministers and magistrates , judges and gaolers , is truly amazing . On the deaths of Williams and Sharp , it was generally expected that the Chartist prisoners would , one and all , have been set at liberty . That expectation has not been fulfilled . A few of the Lancashire and Yorkshire prisoners—whose punishment had nearly expired—were given their liberty a few weeks in advance of the time when , in the natural course of their sentences , they would have been set free ; but there Whig mercy halted . It is probable that most of the victims yet remaining in prison are kept in durance because

      the powers that be will not show clemency to two or three prominent men , and cannot consistently liberate all but them . It is strange that our rulers cannot see the wretched impolicy of such a course . Men of education and aspiring sentiments , pursued with unceasing vengeance , will naturally become more and more imbued with hatred towards those who rule , and the institutions by which they rule . The traveller , who was rendered pliable by the smiles of the sun , was made defiant by the buffetings of

      tho storm . Every additional day that a JoXKS or a M ' Douall is tortured by confinement , and tho thousand other miseries of a prison-hell , stronger and stronger must grow his hatred of his oppressors . The day will come when the term of punishment to which our mends were sentenced will be completed , and they will leave their dungeous without grace or favour on the part of the ruling powers . Whether they will re-enter society more "loyal , " and more devoted to " Queen and Constitution , " we shall see !

      Notwithstanding very recent boastings of " good trade" and " prosperity , " the country seems to be rapidly nearing to that state of depression which not very long ago , wrought such sad havoc amongst the factory masses . Prom Manchester , the news this week is exceedingly discouraging . Diminished production is the order of the day , and a general adoption of " short time '' is daily expected . In the agricultural districts , incendiary fires are on the increase—a sure sign that the usually quiescent labourers find their misery no longer bearable . The reduction of wages in the agricultural districts , is not confined to the tillera of the soil : the

      farmers are reducing carpenters , masons , &c , from 2 a . Cd . to 2 s . a-day . This should be matter for serious reflection on the part of mechanics and artisans . With their wages ( in country places ) reduced to 12 s . a week , how long will they be able to keep above that lower depth of misery implied in the 5 s . and 6 s . weekly of the despairing torch-beavers of " Swmg « " l 3 it not time that the millions made an effort—united and determined—to save themselves from sinking , utterly and hopelessly , to the level of Irish wretchedness ? By heavens * ! the patience—or , rather , the suicidal apathy—of the masses is wonderful and pitiable !

      I observe , that there is a dispute between the engine-drivers on the East Lancashire Railway , and the Directors of that line , which dispute , up to last Saturday , was likely to lead to a strike on the part of the former , commencing from the evening of that day . I have no certain infermsition that ths enginedrivers and firemen did " strike" on Saturday ; but if so , or otherwise , their cause has claims ori the public . I gather from a statement in the Daily Hews—written , evidently , with leanings against the men—that the dispute is of at least two months ' standing . It appears , that in the month of October the men forwarded a memorial to the Manager of the

      line , complaining of grievances , as to hours of labour and amount of remuneration ; and in -which —expressing tlieir dissatisfaction with Mr . Royle , Superintendent of the Line—they demanded his dismissal . After considerable negotiation , fair promises of redress and satisfaction were given by the manager ; but thoe promises were evaded or violated . A second memorial the manager would not deign even to notice . At length , on the 19 th of Jfoveinber , the men forwarded another memorial" to the Directors , " which seems to have brought matters to a crisis . In the said memorial the men declared : —

      " 1 st . That they had repeatedly , but in vain , complained of 'the total unfitness of Mr . Royle , to fill the office of superintendent . They again solicited his dismissal . " " 2 nd . That agreements , a 3 to wages , had been grossly violated by the management of the line . Tor instance , ' says the memorial , ' the amount to be paid to the engine men as wages has not been paid according to agreement . ' ' The agreement as to mileage , and number of hours to make a day , has not been observed , &c ., &o . '"

      " 3 rd . That experienced and competent men had been discharged , while young men had been kept on . They required that this course should be reversed , whenever a reduction of'hands' might be necessary . The " 4 th grievance cannot be expressed in abridged terms ; the memorial says : Sometimes when running trains , -we receives order from parties calling themselves directors , as the to speed we must go . One will tell us he has to be at such a place in such & time , and that we must get him there at that time ; he is , he says , a director . We strive to obey him , as far as is in our power to do so with safety . Perhaps at the next station another will inform us that ifwegoat the rate we have come from the last stationTie will report us , he being a director ,

      wpr—THE CHARTISTS IN NEWGATE , At a meeting of the court of Alderman on Tuesday , Mr . Alderman Lawkancb presented petitions from Bezor and Shaw , the Chartists , who had been sentenced at a period of great public excitement to imprisonment m Kewgato for Chartism . It appeared that the two Chartists had , upon their introduction to Aewgate , misconducted themselves . A great change had however , been wrought in the conduct of the refractory _ Chartists . For some time they had both acted with remarkable propriety , and the language of their petitions now presented to tho l / ourt exhibited tho improvement unequivocally Ine two prisoners prayed for an increase of light ana . hre , and tho use of paper and pen and ink not for the purpose of incalculating and disseminating dangerous doctrines , but for that of a more frequent and agreeable communication with their Antilles . . The petitioners also prayed for somo alteration m diet and there was ood reason for

      , g believing that their conduct had undergone a very advantageous change , it was to be hoped that the Court would listen favourable to tho application . ( Hear hear . ) Mr . Alderman Comslasd said if the Court were of opimon that faith could be placed in tho h ? w ° X ? ° Ohang ? Statedt 0 Retaken place , ie \ vould not opposo the relaxation of the restrict nr *? , whlch th ( Jy hild been subjected . Mr . Alderman Wilsox said that he had brougU the SuW ct of the refractory conduct of the pefcinV be [ or , tho Court several months ago . Tho tl artists had certainl y been allowed very remarkable privileges , which they had abused , not only oy writing to and receiving from Chartists outside lettersimbued with their dangerous politics , but by other conduct at variance with the spirit of prison subordination nnd control . He wished the p etitions to be referred to the Gaol Committee to inquire ami report .

      Mr . Alderman Ciiauis said it was quite evident that the Chartists had acted upon a complete misconception of the privileges of their condition , and m the belief that the offence of which they had been convicted was expected from the class of punishments the severity of which they had experienced . The most remarkable lenity had been extended to them in the first instance . That lenity they had abused , but tho abuse had wholly ceased , and it would be advisable in the Court to notice the change by a return to the indulsencies of which the

      petitioners had been deprived . Sir P . Laurib thought it would be prudent to refer the petitions to the sheriffs and visiting magistrates of the prison , with orders to inquire into and regulate the indulgencies of the petitioners . It vrai notorious that the abuses they had committed on the occasion referred to extended to attemps to ex cite political sympathies of the most dangerous kind , and the magistracy of London had resorted to the most judicious expedients to remedy an evil , of suQli magnitude ,

      Untitled Article

      Mr . Alderman Uximphert deprecated any course likely to occasion delay . If tho petitioners had shown symptoms of contrition such as had been described , it would be only fair to givo them the benefit of the change . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Alderman Carde . h said it appeared to him to be ft difficult matter for tho visiting magistrates to act if they happened to differ in opinion as to the treatment of the prisoners . ( Hear , hear . ) It was all very well to talk of discipline and tho exercise

      ot its rigours in some cases , and its mild application in others ; , but what was really the character of the men of whom they had been speaking ? Wero they not tho very persons who were ready to join in the tumultuous scenes so well calculated to lead I ? t f struction of property and life ? He believed they had connexion with tho Chartist journals by which so much mischief had been propagated , and that thoy co-operated to generalise the venom of the doctrines to which they were known to be favourable . ( Hear , hear . )

      Mr . Alderman Sidney said the magistracy had no right to treat with extraordinary rigour men convicted of the offences with which tho petitioners had been charged . The petitioners had been sentenced to imprisonment for two years without labour . Some of tho members of the Court seemed to think that they had met with extreme indulgence . At all events , whatever mode of treatment they might have formerly experienced , they were at the present moment confined in the condemned cells of Newgate . ( Cries of "No , no . " ) Sir Lmirie

      P . said it was true there were fifteen cells , but thoy were not what were called condemned cells . Newgate had no cells of that description at present . Mr . Alderman Sidney said the fifteen old cells and the five new cells in Newgate were dismal and solitary in every sense of the word , and lie did not sec why they should not be called " condemned , " for they were as bad as the cells so called at more eavly periods of prison experiment . He could see no reason for refusing to grant the indulgences sought for , and he was sure the magistracy were bound to carry out the law without aggravating the punishment beyond the intention of tho Judg « , or the views of those who made it . lie could not help saving that prejudices had been strongly exemsed against the petitioners , and that in their caso tho laws of humanity had been violated .

      Mr . Alderman . Challis said the statement of Mr . Alderman Sidney contained gross misrepresentations . The treatment of prisoners in Newgate was marked with kindness , and in no instance had there occurred the least infringement of the laws of humanity , however chargable the authorities might be with the exercise of remarkable lenity . Mr . Alderman Lawrence and other aldermen denied the statement of Alderman Sidney as to tho existence of condemned cells , Mr . Cope ( the governor of Newgate , ) in answer to questions from the Court , stated that the conduct of the petitioner Bezor had much improved within tho last three or four months .

      Alderman Thompson said the governor ' s repre sentation satisfied him that tho discipline might undergo relaxation in the case of the petitioners . The petitions were referred to the Gaol Com mittee .

      THE QUEM AND THR CHARTIST PRISONERS . ( From the Daily News , of Nov . 21 , 1849 . ) Sir , —The Chartists have , at their recent public meetings , acknowledged , in grateful spirit , the exertions made by Members of Parliament—Richard Copden , Sir Joahua Walmesley , and others , whom hitherto they have regarded as their enemies—to extricate from imprisonment , or ameloriate tho condition , of their incarcerated comrades . Why should not this good feeling , so creditably created , be extended to the Crown , and the chasm of hate between the rulers and the people be bridged over . if not closed ? . 6 '

      The Queen , . as the head of tho Church , has recently proclaimed a ' . ' Thanksgiving , " for the reason thut it had pleased God to arrest that calamity which our trespasses arc considered to have brought upon us . But , as tho ground on which we are taught ( by Christ , as repeated by the Church ) , to expect forgiveness of our trespasses is that we have lovgiven those who trespass against us , can the nation be said to have merited mercy by forgiveness while it detains in our gaols persons for political oftences , into which they were stimulated by b

      privation— y a senso of oppression—and despair ? Two of theso unfortunate men having perished in gaol of cholera , owing to circumstance * connected witu their imprisonment , leaving destitute iamilies , constitute another reason why leniency is due in this case . Would it not , therefore , be an act ivist as well as generous and politic , were the advisers of the Crown to recommend to her Majesty ' s consideration to grant a complete amnesty for the political offenders , forgiving them their trespasses , even as we pvay that , our own are forgiven as ? ¦ GEQRCa Jmjwi HoiA-OAKE . 17 , Woburn-buildmgs , Tavistock-square , Noverabor , 1849 .

      NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES . Established 1845 . This that they call organisation of labour is , if well understood , the problem of the whole future , for all , who will in future pretend to govern men . —Thojias Carlisle The sentiment above quoted , extracted from the writings of one of the most original and boldest thinkoi' 3 of modern times , cannot bo brought too frequently or too prominently before tho working classes , because , although in itself it is but tho expression of a " great fact , " it implies that the well-being of the working classes is dependent upon the character and description of the organisation they are subjected to ; and it may also be inferred

      , that the absence of any beneficial or perfect organisation is the chief cause why these same classes are , at this day , politically , socially , and morally degraded . The first step , therefore , to their permanent emancipation , must be a thorough and effective organisation ; by , and through which , they may be able to protect themselves from the spoliations practised upon them b y all other classes of society . _ It is the necessity for this thorough " organisation Of labour , " which the committee of the National Association have so long and > SO consistently laboured to impress upon their fellow-workmen . Numerous and various have been the obstructions they have had to contend against . The ignorance , prejudices , and apathy of the working classes

      themselves , are sufficiently formidable , but time and perseverance has conquered greater apparent difficulties , and theso may certainly be overcome . Tho power of CAvim—when a movement was found progressing unmistakably directod , to throw up defences against its usurpation of a power not legitimately appertaining to it—to place bounds to its inordinate ambition—to chalk out a distinct line of demarcation—and to say , " thus far shalt thou go , and no farther ; " from capital thus threatened , tho most deadly opposition was to be anticipated . But strong m the justice of the cause—satisfied of the superior power oi labour when fairly pitted against capital , the founder of the National Association , and those to whom its direction has sineo

      been entrusted , have never for an instant shrunk , and seldom failed , successfully to meet and overcome this description of opposition , even with the limited , and necessarily imperfect , powers with which they were armed ; and it may fairly bo assumed that , if unable to cope with but the shadow of the moral and financial power which an extended and concentrated combination of labour would impart , there is but little to fear from the efforts of capital in a more advanced stage of our progress . But there is another description of obstructives ' , far more , impracticable to deal with , and more difficult to conciliate , than these we have named . We mean men of comparatively superior education , great natural talents , considerable powers of

      eloquence—that valuable , yet ofteu dangerous acquirement—who , like " Tritons amongst the minnows , " direct , control , and govern the bodies they are connected with ; they think , speak , and decide for those whom their talents enables them to control . It may bo reasonably supposed , that individuals such as we have described , if the principles of the National Association are so sound , and tlieir adoption by the trades so desirable , that men of such superior abilities and education — possessed of an almost unlimited influence over largo bodies of their follow men—would readily embrace and advocate a system calculated to confer such solid advantages upon those whoso interests they are supposed to consult . Such a supposition

      is but reasonable j but it is , nevertheless , unfortunately the fact , that in too many instances an amount of opposition has been experienced in theso quarters difficult to account for by any ordinary process of reasoning . The principles are always good—excellent!—such a movement above all things desirable—and the thing , above all others , that the individual himself with whom you may bo reasoning , would wish to Bee accomplished . "Ay and it is to this wo must come at last ; there is no doubt of it . " Such , they generally assure you , is their own private opinion . " But there are so many

      difficulties in the way , " " the members are so ignorant , " or "their trade is so very peculiar , " or they are just engaged in , " or "just recovering from , " or "just about entering into a great strike . Or , perhaps ( and this is a very common way of giving tho inconvenient subject tho go by)—well , " I will think tho subject over—wish you all possible success in your laudable endeavours , and , if you go on , and succeed , depend upon my best efforts to induce our body to join you . We are very numerous throughout tho United Kingdom , and when we join , I should Jike the whole to join en masse , you know . " Yes , if we succeed , no doubt , that many waiters upon providence would gladly avail themselves of

      Untitled Article

      the opportunity to stop in and secure somo share of the benefits which other men ' s exertions bad secured ; but how , in the name of reason and common sense , Is it to be expected , that any movement can succeed , when the very men , who from their capabilities and position , appear its natural leaders , instead of nobly , generously , and honestly throwing themselves into it , heart and soul , from some powerful incentive of scliish ambition , or with an eye to a sort of vested interest , in their present position , which they fear to endanger , are either eventually ouv open opponents , or content themselves by proving tlieir friendliness to our cause , by " amusing us with faint praise , " the most thoroughly dishonest species of opposition which can be produced . These remarks are offered , as a

      key to unravel the apparent mystery , why so many of the trades , especially of the higher grade , have so long stood aloof from us . But , " coming events cast tlieir shadows before , " and that consciousness of security which make men in the aggragate , as well as individually , so selfish , aud regardless of the sufferings of others , can no longer be enjoyed by , wo believe , any trade in Great Britain . ' Competition , ill regulated machinery , and free tradethat leash of curses to British industry , are doing their work , and the wolf is at the doors of those who have for a long time ridiculed the alarm of his approach . A practical refutation is about being given to tho free-trade assertion-tliat cheap tood would' ensure hi gh wages . Reductions of wages are pronounced inevitable in many oi

      tne Jntlierto comparatively well paid departments of industry . The absurd extravagancies and iniquitous robberies of llaihvay Directories have rendered it iinpovntire that these same parties commit another , and , if possible , more foul robbery , than any of thoso with which we are familiar . The wages of the most valuable portion of the railway staff are doomed to supply the deficiencies in the dividend , caused by the previous plunder of the capital of tho shareholders . Many of the building trades have had notice of intended reductions in their wages ; and , with the present redundancy of labour in the market , what hopes can be entertained of a successful resistance ? Tho Central Committee of tins Association have always contended that the only effective protection which can bo given to tha of labour

      wages , cousists in tho absorption of the surplus labour , through channels where it can be rendered self-supporting ; that such channels are to be found at home , at our own doors as it were , aa well as over the Atlantic ; that its employment at home is infinitel y preferable , and more patrioticthat this can , and ought to be accomplished , by and through the working classes alone , and not by the government . In the one caso wo should create an independent class of Labour Yeoman—in the Other , companies of government slaves . That tho working class possess within themselves the means is unquestionable . Themselves organised—the means , which will give the power , ( although it has been stud they possess neither ) , will be found in abundance , alike blessing and conferring inealculttDie

      oenents upon those who give and thoso who receive . Remove tho surplus labour by the only practical lever by which that , or any great work can be achieved—an organisation of labour , and the means and the power which that organisation , and that alone would most surel y give , The Centrdl Committee will , in a future report , place some facts before the working classes ; by which it will be shown that through a confederation ot labour-such as they advocate—tho surplus labour , which now presses with such crushing seventy upon almost every description of British industry , may not only bo readily withdrawn from the labour market , at tho rate of fifty thousand a

      year , but well and amply employed , and made the source of increased employment to the country If this thing can bo done , and is not done , then do the working classes deserve all they now suffer , and all the good things which are now in store for them . The Central Committee have , during the week , received the most cheering reports of the prowess of Messrs . Green and Robson . Adhesions have also been received from tho ( i'emalo ) Binders and Closers ef Darentry ; also from tho Third Section of Davcntry Shoemakers ; from the Fendermakcrs of Birmingham ; and information of intended adhesions from several other trades in Birmingham and Wolverhampton .

      They have also " the satisfaction of reporting Mr . Green having successfull y combatted with a master iV " j ? workcr of Wolverhampton , who , it was alleged , had discharged a man for having inquired ot Ins shopraates in the shop where he worked the prices paid for certain descriptions of work , which information he put down in a book , for the use of a committee of the trade , who were engaged in pre-Eanng a town list of prices . The employer denied avmg discharged this individual for tho cause assigned , but contended for tho ri ght to discharge any man he pleased , without giving a reason for ao doing . Mr . Green , of course , did not Question the

      right , but ventured to show its impolicy , and , per-\ inps , mjusticb . The affiiir terminated by ajuwiiwe to take the man back tho first ojrportmrity . In this case , although it cannot be said that any great adyantngo was gained , it became perfectly evident that the power and influenco of the National Association was better understood and appreciated than before Mr . Green ' s visit , as was proved by the altered behaviour of the employer to his men since . 1 ho moral power of this affair has produced also a wondrous effect upon tho trades of Wolverhampton , with many of whom Mr . Green is engaged to explain our views and objects . Dec . 5 . William Peel , Secretary .

      AFFAIRS OF HUNGARY . Tho Subjoined momorial has been drawn up and presented to Lord John Russell , First Lord of the Treasury , and to Viscount Palmerston , principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , with a view to the friendly intervention of her Majesty ' s Government , with regard to the future position of Hungary towards Austria : — " We , the undersigned , desire to express to your lordships , and through your lordships to the rest of her Majesty ' s confidential servants , the deep interest which we have taken in the contest which , has been recently curried on between the Hungarian , nation and the Emperor of Austria . Not loss deep ia the interest which we now take in the final settlement of the question at issue between themand in

      , the permanent pacification of that great country . Sincerely attached to the liberties of our own country—the final establishment of which is due to the successful termination of struggles analogous to those which have been made from time to time in Hungary—with equal sincerity desirous of maintaining tho peace of Europe , we are fully sensible of the great importance that the settlement of tho questions at issue should bo effected in a manner and upon terms satisfactory to tho Hungarian nation , not only for the sake of Hungary herself , but because we apprehend that a settlement unsatisfactory will sow the sced _ o * renewed discontent , may lead to fresh local disturbances , and b y tir e local disturbance of so largo an element of the European system , may endanger the tranquillity of the whole .

      The objects of the undersigned arc , internal liberty—national independence—European peace . For the attainment of these objects we trust the Court of Vienna will bear in mind that the satisfaction and contentment of Hungary will afford the greatest security . Considering , however , tho means by which the authority of the House of Hapsburg ha 3 boon re-established , the undersigned are of opinion , that the occasion permits , even if it does not call for , the intervention of Great Britain , in counselling the Austrian jrovcrnment respecting tile exorcise of its restored executive power . "WitS respect to the mode and opportunity of interfering tho undersigned offer no specific opinion , but we hope that her Majesty ' s government will uot shrink from suggesting to that of Austria , that , since republican France has abolished capital punishment for political offences , it will not be wise to allow a contrast to bo drawn unfavourable to tlie clemency of monarchial governments ..
