      The following appeared in our se ~ T ~ firird editions of last weefc ;— ""<** and THE ASSOr ^ B LABOUR CONFERENCE AT MAKCHESTB'V

      5 he delegates met on "Wednesday morning , and the business of the Confer ence terminated in the evening . Mr . W . BursLam ( or . e of the delegates from the operative stonemasons ) said the greatest evil his trade suffered "from , was surplus labour . In Manchester a short ttTue ago , it vras proposed , that the stonemasons Siroughout the country should subscribe apesay per week to form an emigration fund , in order to remove this surplus , but the proposition teal a very narrow majority in its favour , and ifc- ^ sb thought better to defer for a timo the

      executaoa of the project . At present the members of the society subscribed threepence pet '*<**¦ to form -a fund for mutual assistance . Whenever there was a strike , the members receivedfrom itlOs-aweek during the time they continued out of work . The society spent about £ 2 , 000 a year for the support of tramps ; and in case of accident , to a member from pursuing his trade , they subscribed Cd . each and gave him £ S 0 to put him m some way of bnsiness . If one of them was killed bv an accident they gave his widow £ 40 to establish her in some bnsiness , and £ 8 for funeral

      expanses . Mr . J . Williams , ( delegate from the Stockport Redemption Society ) said that in order that the society wight be made available to the poorest of the poor , they had commenced subscribing Gd . per tfeck . They were not all shoemakers , but they had commenced with this trade because it required the least capital . The profits would not be divided , but would go towards the accumulation of stock , as the object of the association was merely to render the workmen independent of the non-producing class .

      Mr . "Walter Coopee ( delegate from the London central board ) said at tbe time when Mr . Ilenry JIayhewmade his revelations , in his letters to the Morning ClironicU . several meetings had been held by the tailors of London to condemn the slop and sweating svstem which that gentleman had exposed . It was at this time that the first co-operative experiment was made in London . Professor Morris and other promoters of the movement , who wished to give an experiment of this kind a fair trial , furnished £ 300 as capital to commence with . A number of journeymen tailors accordingly associated themselves together for the purpose . They furnished

      a house , fitted up splendid workshops , ventilated them well , and provided them with everything requisite for the comfort of the men . They then took in a stock and commenced work . There were twelve members when the association started , and in a short time the number increased to thirty-seven . The members appeared to have become both wiser and better men s ' . nce they have joined the association . Ho new members were admitted of whom the rest did not know something , and they were then re- ; quired to serve three months' probationship before being admitted members . During this time , however , they were paid their wages along with the

      rest . ' The conference was addressed by Mr . Loyd Jones and the Rev . C , Eingsley , ( delegates from London ) ; Mr . Stalk and Mr . Iloyle , ( delegates from the Salford Co-operative Provision Store ); Mr . J . G Clarke , ( a delegate from the Practical Christian Church ); Dr . John "Watts , on behalf of the Rochdale Redemption Society ; and the Chairman , who represented the Rational Society . The meeting was a / so addressed by delegates from the letter-press printers , tailors , glass cutters , the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers' Society , and the Bury Redemption Society . The business concluded ¦ with two resolutions , one ( moved by the Rev . Charles Kingsley , and seconded by Mr . Walter Cooper ) to the effect that the reports now received froni the delegates fully corroborated the evidence

      previously existing , as to the rottenness of the present competitive system in trade , and proved that the association for co-operatire labour and the establishment of mutual exchanges , would be the best means of improving the condition of the vorkingclasses ; the other ( moved by Mr . Loyd Jones , and seconded by Mr . James Iloyle ) to the effect t . bat the existing- committee had the fall confidence of the present congress , and were empowered to call another delegate conference within a few months . In the evening there was a public meeting at the Old Manor Court Room , rather numerously attended , at which Mr . Abel Heywood , a town councillor , presided , and which was addressed by the Rev . Charles Kingsley ( clergyman of Eversleigh ) , Dr . J . Watts , Mr . Loyd Jones , Mr . G . . Mantle , and others .

      Mr . J . H . Xobal moved the first resolution : — " That In the opinion of this meeting the present eyetems of wages and competition are unnatural , tend to immorality , and produce incalculable evil in society . " Mr . G . D . Mastle seconded the resolution . Sir . Lotd Joxes moved the second resolution : — " That the principle of association in the production and distribution of wealth , has been sufficiently successful to justify its substitution for the selfish iniquity of wages , slavery , and individual competition . " Dr . J . Watts seconded the motion . Rer . G . Kdigslbt moved the third resolution : — " That this meeting pledges itself to advance bj all moral means the great principle of cooperative aesocintion . " Mr . W . Cooper seconded the resolution ; and this and the previous resolutions were agreed to .

      ^ FATAL ACCIDENT TO LIEUT . GALE . On Sunday last Lieutenant Gale made an ascent with the Royal Cremorne balloon , on the back of a Sony , from the IlippoJrome of Vincennes , at Boreaux . It was the first time that Mr . Gale had ever made such an ascent , and his pony had only a few days before been broken in . At first the pony showed great repugnance at being lifted from his feet , hut he gradually got accustomed to it , and on Sunday allowed himself to be carried off by the balloon with the greatest composure . As there was some delay in filling the balloon with gas , the pony , gaily saddled and bridled , was paraded round the hippodrome , and was regarded , with extraordinary curiosity by the spectators . An immense multitude assembled to witness the ascent . Tie local journals say that the town was completely deserted , and that

      the adjacent villages sent taeir inhabitants . When llr . Gale was seen io ascend rapidly into the air , seated on his pony , with a bridle in one hand and saluting the public with the other , there was a sort of shudder of fear in the vast gathering . The pony was perfectly calm , with his legs hanging and the neck bent : bat he made no movement . The descent of Mr . Gale took place at a short distance from Bordeaux . When the horse had been released from its slings , the peasants who held the ropes , mistaking the instructions of the aeronaut , let go the cords before Lieut . Gale had disengaged himself . The balloon , instantly rushing up with immense force , carried with it the unfortunate aeronaut , who clung on to a rope . The branch of

      the pine to which the grapnel was fastened was torn off by the violence of the shock , and away went the maciiiuc mounting to the clouds with the unhappy man . It should seem that he succeeded in seizing the cord attached to the valve for letting ott the gas ; for after a quarter of an hour the balloon ¦ was observed to descend , and hopes were entertained that the aeronaut might have escaped the destruction which 3 eemed imminent . On the next morning , however , the discovery of the balloon , half inflated , amid one of those forests of pipes , which stretch over the sandy p ™™* ' ™ . . | doubt as to the fatal accident which bad befallen its owner . After a long search a body , identified as lieutenant Gale's , was found at some distance amoa ? the trees .

      « . « ° S , lisp Ss ± ^ xsks « gentleman" t he next day , to have some further conversation upon the subject of taking the business . Accordingly on the following day the prisoner called again , accompanied by a man named Anderson ( who was convicted at a former session . ) and they

      adjourned to a neighbouring public-house , where Anderson made the most minute inquiries respecting the business , and in the course of the conversation the prisoner said that , if any arrangement was concluded for taking it , he should expect to have £ 10 for introducing the old gentleman . Anderson also said that his nephew for whom he wanted the business resided at Dover , and that he was about to be married ; and upon this witness suggested that his nephew should come to town and see the nature of the business , and whether he would like it or not ; but Anderson , in reply , said that it all-vested with him and his aunt . Another appointment was then made for the following Monday at the Albion public-house , in the Blackfriars-road , and , after he had

      been there a short time , the prisoner enme in , and he produced a letter from the pretended nephew at Dover , and read from it to the following effect : — " Dear Uncle , —I am pleased that you have taken the business for me . I should not like any business so well as that of an eating-house . I have mentioned the matter to my intended , Miss Watson , and she is quite agreeable also . " The prisoner then said that the nephew could not get up to town that day , but it was all right , and shortly afterwards Anderson came in , and he said that since he had received the letter from Ms nephew , Ms niece had come up for the purpose of buying the wedding dress , and his nephew would be up by the seven o ' clock train . Anderson then said that he could

      not stop any longer at that time , but he would meet him at the same place at seven o'clock in the evening . At that time ho saw Anderson again , and they conversed together upon the subiect of the business for about half an hour , when Saunders and another man joined them , and in a short time a man came in , who appeared to be very drunk , and a sixth man entered the room at the same time and sat down by him . The seemingly drunken man then began to talk a parcel of nonsense and eventually challenged any one in the room to throw a weight with him for a wager , and Saunders said he would do so , and during the conversation the drunken man pulled from his pocket what appeared to be a number of sovereigns , and ho said _ he had in

      been selling some cows for his mother , eyau then went to a beer shop in Webber-row , where Saunders and the drunken man played at sKitties , and the former appeared to win a considerable sum of monev . When this had been going on some time Saunders asked him . to play with the drunken man , observing at the same timo that he might as well have £ 5 of his money as not . Witness refused to play , and told the prisoner that . if he played witn any one , it should be a souor man who knew what he was about , and he would take no advantage of a drunken man . The play continued for some time , and at length all the parties began " larking , and got round him and trod on his toes and hustled him , and he saw his purse in the prisoner s hand , and Anderson and two of

      immediately afterwards he and tbe other men left the skittle ground , and the sixth man stood in front of him , and hindered him from following then ? , and told him that he would take him where he would find them , and he accompanied him to two or three public-houses in the Blackfriars-road for that purpose . He subsequently went to the skittle ground , accompanied by a police sereeant , and upon making a search he found his purse , emptied of its contents , tucked in behind some boards . The Common Serjeant summed up , andlheiury , alter some considerable deliberation , said they thought there was a good deal of suspicion in the case , but as there appeared to be some doubt , they would give the prisoner the benefit of it , and they then returned a verdict of Not Guilty .

      amount , for which they gave bills , and ne sooner had they been obtained than they were sent to an auction room and the prisoners left their shop . — Mr . Clarkson , on behalf of the prisoners urged in mitigation of sentence the prisoners' previous good character and their distressed circumstances when the offence was committed . —Mr .

      ^^ Assault . — Mr . Joseph Parawagna , a foreigner , was brought up in the custody of ; a policeman , charged with having thrashed the waiter of a public-house in one of the courts in Fenchurchstreet , with a stick in a very violent manner . The defendant , it . appeared , paid no regard to a large lettered notice , on the wall , giving a caution of a delicate nature to passers by , and was in the act of showing his disregard for the hint , when the waiter walked up to him , touched him on the shoulder , and informed him civilly of bis . mistake . The rage of the defendant , upon being told that he must shift his quarters , knew no bounds . He raised his stick and began to lay it with all his might upon the shoulders of the waiter , who actually danced with pain , until he got hold of . the weapon with

      which he had been punished . A policeman then made his appearance , and , at the . request of the waiter , submitted the case to the arbitration of the magistrate . —The defendant said he had exercised very particular judgment and delicacy in the matter , for he had selected ; the place for his accommodation because , froni its neglected condition , it appeared to be adapted for that very purpose alone . ( Laughter . ) What then must , he asked , his astonishment be when ho felt a sharp blow across the shoulders , and found that the person who inflicted - it waa ready to give him another , and perhaps i to follovy it up by robbing

      him . He . admitted that , labouring under the impression that he was i himself the aggrieved party , he had raised his stick to retaliate , and he felt the greatest desire for the interference of the policeman and the magistrate . —Alderman Cfibbs having made very close inquiries as to the locus in quo , and learned that the defendant had favoured the spot with a visit on a former occasion , on a similar emergency , fined him twenty shillings , and required him to find securities to keep the peace for six months . Mr . Parawagna expressed , on paying the penalty , his indignation at the treatment he had received , and said it was his intention to seek satisfaction elsewhere . : •• • ....:
