      BIRTHDAY FESTIVAL TO THOMAS PAIKE . A public tea party , to celebrate this event , was held on Sunday afternoon , at the Literary Institution , John-street , Tottenham-cdurt-road . Prior to tbe chair being taken , and during the intervals between the sentiments , appropriate music and suitable choruses were executed with the usual ability displayed hy the Appolonic Society . The Hall was crowded to excess . Shortly afttr seven o ' clock Mr . James Watsou was called to thechair , and opened the business of the meeting by reading letters from Mr . Owen , Mr . Saul , and others , apologising for their non-attendance .

      The Chairman then gave as the first sentiment : — " The People—may they not relinquish the 6 ttuggle for social and political righU untilthe whole population have obtained them . " What would Thomas Paine have said , could he have witnessed on a Sunday a gathering like the present , to celebrate his social , religious , and political views ? They had advanced greatly to procure this freedom . This was what Paine had thought , wrote , and fought for . Honour in an especial manner was due to Thomas Paine , for being the first man that took superstition by the beard and give it a sound shaking , regardless of the calumny and persecution to which he knew he should be subjected . It was to Paine mainly that we owed the liberty of thought and expression on religious subjects , which we now enjoyed ; and yet many professing similar views were apt to speak of his writings as coarse and sarcastic , forgetful that the liberty they possessed was owing to the energy of his attacks upon their common foe .

      Mr , S . Ktdd responded to the sentiment . Nothing that he could say . conld add to the long tried and tested character . of Paine . His authority and reputation as apolitical writer was settled by the general consent of all Europe . Those who abused his writings were generally but slightly acquainted with them . His character for humanity was equal to his other qualities , and thus the name of Paine was appropriately connected with the sentiment to which he was responding . ThomaB Paine was a Social as well as a Political Reformer . This was particularly evidenced by his work called " Agrarian Justice ; " and his name and works would live when those of his calumniators were buried in oblivion . Paine took an enlarged view of human nature , Instead of endorsing the views of the great or noble , he oalled upon all men to think and act for themselves . The

      truth of his views were being daily more felt . Our modern civilisation was every day proving itself more incapable of realising the good of society . The rioh were equally ignorant and culpable with tbe poor—one class was rendered miserable by the excess of wealth , whilst theother class was miserable from its poverty . Men were asking why these things were . MechanicalandEcientific inventions were daily being impressed into the service of man ; but tbey only tended to increase his misery , to render him the slave of labour . The pale-faced weavers , the swarthy miners , the low-paid artizans , were , by thousands , thinking that to return to barbarism was superior to this state of civilisation . They looked up to the rich , and said this may be a true system of civilisation to you , but it is a false one for us ; and with this moving in their hearts , it was idle to tell them of the

      prosperity of their country . Such scenes as were every where occurring in England were sufficient to break the bonds which held society together . Ships were wrecked daily on our shores , because they were not sufficiently well manned , ' owing } to the shipowner wanting to increase his gains . Everywhere health and life were being sacrificed to wealth . If they had not a civil war , like that in France , raging in England , they had one equally as fatal in Us results . There was a civil war between oapital and labour —between the employed and the employer . The working men of England were not free agents—they did not stand on equal terms with their employers . One favourable circumstance in the present day was , that the circumstances of the age were beginning to force all men to take part in the struggle . Heretofore they had much false philanthropy

      and mock humanity , mixed up with a little genuine benevolence and much hypocrisy , but , until now , no real interest was felt by society in the workman's struggle . This change was hopeful , and would ultimately tend to change the present relations of oapital and labour . Mr . Kydd concluded a long and able speech , amid much cheering . Mr . 6 . J . Haknet also spoke to this sentiment . Ever since he was a boy , he bad heard that sentiment re-echoed , and he hoped , at no distant day , to hear it altered to the one of " May we zealously guard the liberties we have obtained . " Nevertheless , in spite of the toast being so hacknied , they mast persevere . The perseverance of tbe people Of this Country Was Of an effervescing nature—it did not continue . They broke from the object of their desire , because the views of this leader , er that

      man did not consort with their own . Baffled as they had been they must not despair . Perseverance never failed of success . Paine , in his life , left to them an example of the sublime effects of perseveiance . He first conceived the idea of turning a simple insurrection into a struggle for national independence , and , notwithstanding all the seeming obstacles to his views , they at length achieved a glorious realisation . His career in France was a proof of his undaunted energy . When imprisoned in a dungeon during that period of excitement , with death in all probability near , he penned the glorious thoughts on religion contained in his "Age of Reason . " On the views of that book—whether they went too far , or not far enough—he would not dwell ; but it was a grand example of his spirit of perseverance . On his return to America .

      notwithstanding the ingratitude of the American nation , equally with Washington he was the saviour of America . On every occasion until his death , when his advice or presence was necessary , there was he present . Let them imitate this spirit . If they had not the genius of Paine , they coald at least be imitators of his perseverance . It was the will—the spirit alone—that was necessary to ensure success . Without this , all plans or programmes were useless . Mr . Hart was pleased with the opportunity of recording his sentiments on this great man . He did not agree with Paine in his religious opinions , still he felt it his duty to p jve his meed of admiration to his fame . His religious opi cions were the result of his conviotions , and were uttered amidst difficulties and danger . A man who asserted the right of free thought was equally useful with the man

      who gave a great thought to the world . It was only by the exertions of such great and fearless men as Paine that any great cause was made to triumph . We owed our present political and social position to the exertion" of such men . They bad set the current of free thought running , and it was impossible that the people could resist struggling for its advance . They had struggled from one position to another ; first , tbe barons against the king , then the middle class against the barons ; and , finally , the operatives against tbe capitalists . In all things , except the possession of wealth , the people had progressed to be the equals , if not superiors , of all other classes . He endorsed the sentiments glanced at by Mr . Kydd . If the intelligent men of the present day were to remain victims to the present system of civilisation , better return to barbarism . There was something chivalric and generous in the times of feudalitv

      the feudal serf was a superior being to the slave of a machine . Look at the present struggle going on between Capital and Labour . The masters had issued a pamphlet stating their right to do what they liked with their own This was opening up a new subject—one which the working men had aot previously entered upon . This would lead to tbe question of what was their own . The masters said " Our money , our time , our capital , our labour , oureverv thing yes , our hands . " They were hands , and not men with hearts ; things with five fingers , not human beings . ' These men claimed all things , even the thoughts of the labourer , his time , and the manner in which he should spend his earnings . When Ledru Rollin first read the inscription on the Royal Exchange , he translated the word « ' Lord " and "Peer , " and read it "theEarth is tbe Peers and the fullness thereof . " This was the view of the masters . They were the true disorganieers . Their libeity was

      licenseveirwm would be robbery . Mr . Hart then , in eloquent language , dwelt upon the political and social question , and sat down amid loud cheers . Mr . H . Ksight gave the following sentiment : " The Memory of Thomas Paine , may his Age of Reason ' speedily effect the destruction of the two great superstitions , 'the divine rights of Kings , and the right divine of Priests . He believed these were the two greatest evils that ever afflicted tbe earth . AH honour to Paine , who , in an age of comparative darkness , had dared to aim the shafts of reason at these superstitions . All honour to the men of the present day , who dared to meet and celebrate the fame of this ever famous and much celebrated man . Owing to the writings of men like Paine , the bubble of divine right had burst , and out therefrom had come the sweet flower of the natural rights of the people During a long logical address Mr . Knight was much an . plauded . v

      Mr . Le Bloxd responded . Paine asserted the right of all mankind to entertain the convictions of their minds this he gave equally to those who differed from , as to those who assented to , his doctrine . Hence men of all shades of religious views could stand on the same platform and do honour to his memory as the great advocate of free thought . It was to him they must ascribe their present comparative freedom . Still , freedom of thought , though not legally punished , did not escape all punishment . The professed Atheist was still under the ban of Society . But the time was approaching when all men would not only be allowed , but encouraged , to give free vent to their convictions He trusted the shade of Paine would visit and t £ » o into ? * " ^ " ^ " aS talk ' in defence of JO *?' ?**?*!? , ener « etic address , supported the sentiment , and called upon them to give honour not only toPainebuttoCarlile , to their respected Chairman . 2

      ERENCH CO-OPERATIVE MOVEMENT . —MR . CONINGHAM ' S LECTURE . ( BT SPBCIAL BBPOEIEn . ) On Saturday evening last a lecture was delivered by Mr . William Coningham , of Brighton , in tho Athenaeum , Portsea , on The French Co-operative Movement of 184849 . " The reputation of the lecturer drew together a good audience , notwithstanding the very peouliar evening selected for its delivery , which circumstance was aggravated by unfavourable weather . The Hall was well filled from the entrance to tho platform by an assembly composed of the elite of the working classes of Portsea and Portsmouth . The Rev . W . Chignell , an Independent minister , occupied the chair , and briefly introduced Mr . Coningham to the audience .

      Mr . Coninoham commenced h is address by a few general observations on political econojny , labour , and capital , and proceeded to state—that the ' produce of labour originally constituted the natural recompense or wages of the labourer . Before the appropriation of land , and the accumulation of stock , the whole of the produce belonged . to the labourer : there was neither landlord nor master to share it with him . If this state of things could have continued , wages would have augmented with the improvements in productive power , developed by the division of labour and the discoveries of science ; while all things would have become cheaper as they would have been produced by a smaller expenditure of industry . But this , said the lecturer , could not last beyond the first appropriation of land and accumulation of stock ; the landlord then demanded

      rent , which was tbe first abstraction from the wages of the labourer . After further tracing the growth of the Competitive system , Mr . Coningbam stated that the profit of the capitalist , or owner of stock , had been defined as tbe remuneration ef " abstinence , " or what he gains by forbearing to consume his own capital , and using it for the employment of labour . But when one or more workmen possess stock or capital sufficient both to purchase the materials for their work , and to maintain themselves until it be completed , they then take the whole produce of their own labour , or the whole value which has been added to the materials in the process of manufacture . The profits arising from surplus production must , however , always be distinguished from mere money profit , obtained by buying cheap and selling dear , without any real increase of wealth

      to the community . Co-operative Association or concert , therefore , both in the division of labour and the distribution of its produce , may serve to adjust tho proportional division between labour , talent , and capital , and between the employers and employed . After , at some length , pointing out the difference between simple and complex Co-operation , and arguing the important mental and moral results of Cooperation , Mr . Coningham passed to the more immediate subject of the evening . After briefly referring to his former lecture , delivered in the Town Hall , Brighton , a short time since , in which lecture he had described the then state and prospects of the principal co-oper&tive establishments of France from information obtained during a prolonged sojourn in that city , the lecturer stated that the only conservative element he could discover

      in the midst of the social anarchy prevailing in Franca was the wonderful capacity for self-organisation and self-employment manifested by the labouring classes . These opinions have been confirmed by subsequent events , and these little social republics , as he foretolu , have been enabled to resist the blind fury of the political storms raging around them , and disappointed the malignant incitements of the secret police . While the middle classes and idlers of the city of Paris were mown down by the grape shot and musketry of the French Algerines of " order" in the bloody massacre of December , the Paris Co-operatives never quitted their work . The terrible events which succeeded each other with such frightful rapidity , may serve as a warning to us ; and they clearly indicate that all reforms to be lasting and permanent avast be gradual , and that a government established

      by violence begets violence , which invariably terminates in disoraer , anarchy , and despotism . He advised his auditory to avoid the errors of the extreme parties io France / and endeavour to profit by the noble example of the brave and in : elligent owners of the French metropolis , who were about to seek in distant lands , and under a real republic , a wider field for their ingenuity and skill—aland where the workman reaps the produce of his own labour—a land where a man is a man , and not merely " a pair of hands , "—where every man has a vote , and pays only the road and the school tax , and where he is called upon only to support the minister of hiB own religion . In the United States he is no longer the slave of the priest and the tax-gatherer . After a passing reference to the illustrious men of ancient end . modern times who have given to the world their various theories of

      association , from the Essenes to the French Socialist ! of the present day , Mr . Coningham passed on to describe the eventful year of 1848-and the Bcenes at the Hotel de Villo , and the Palace of the Luxembourg—in order to refute effectively and in detail the calumnies against M . Louis Blanc and the Socialist party , which have been so frequently iterated and reiterated by the Press . There could be no doubt , he said , that the revolution of 1818 gave a powerful impulse to the social and Co-operative Movement , especially in France , but , indeed , more or less in all Europe . The Government proclaimed at the Hotel de Ville was not wholly Republican . The one gveafc fact

      accomplished by the revolution of February was the decree of the Provisional Government , by which M . Louis Blanc was appointed to the presidency of the commission of the Luxembourg . He ( the lecturer ) would remind them that the Provisional Government had on the 25 th February issued the memorable decree affirming the right to labour . This decree , which our readers will remember , Mr ; Coningham read at length , as he also did that of the 28 th February , by which the commission of the Luxembourg , under tho presidency of M . Louis Blanc , was inaugurated . He then described the commencement of its labours on Wednesday , the 1 st of March , when from a hundred to a hundred and fifty delegates from the different trades or cornorationa

      took their 6 eats on the places recently occupied by the peers of France . M . Louis Blanc , president , M . Albert , the vice-president , was seated at the Bureau . Louis Blanc addressed the workmen in a spirited and affecting address . and pointed out the business for which thafc important assembly had been convened . Several delegates from the different corporations then mounted the Tribune , and expressed the views of the atdiers , or workshops which they represented . Two questions were especially insisted upon on behalf of the working men—questions which require an immediate solution : —1 st . A reduction in the hours of labour ; 2 nd . Abolition of the contract or sweating system . The assembly next proceeded to nominate delegates who should compose the permanent Executive Committee , but differences crept in among them , and the meeting was adjourned for a time . Kext morning Louis Blanc convened a meeting of tho masters , or " patrons , " who represented the principal trades of Paris , and explained to them that the commission desired to consult representatives of the dif .

      ierenc interests , in order that full justice might be rendered to all . He then pointed out the most urgent demands of the workmen , which were as just stated , and requested explanations from the roasters on these two points . Mr Coningham here entered into a full account of the middleman , or sweating system , as practised in Pavis , which was as bad , at least , as in this country . Returning to tie narrative , he observed , however , that the explaaations of the masters were " short and satisfactory ; " they cheerfully concurred in the reduction of tbe hours of labour , and the government in consequence issued a decree reducing the hours of labour to ten , and abolishing the more odious f » rm of marchandage—tiie sweating system . Matters

      Having proceeded to the Batisfaotion of all parties concerned , tho workmen met again on Friday , the 10 th of March , and elected ten of their numbers—taken by lot from eighty-eight trade societies or corporations—to form a permanent committee . By the 20 th of March the number of delegates had increased to 500 ; but the masters , 150 in number , met in a separate chamber , and held their discussions apart from the workmen . In committee , Louia Blanc developed a plan for the gradual redemption of the factories and workshops by the State , and the establishment of associations of operatives on a system of equal wa"os the profits to bo divided into four parts-one nart to hB

      devoted to the aged and infirm ; one to the able-bodied one to paying off the original cost of purchase ; and tho fourth part to form a reserve fund . The details oi M . Blanc s proposal were also minutely Btated by the lecturer but , the foregoing were its principal features . In committee , considerable opposition to the plan was manifested , and in the general assembly the opposition would have been more decided . But the regular debatos never took place for party politics insinuated themselves into the Luxembourg—the general elections were approaching—the reacti

      onary party were conspinng-and the organisation of the ateliers of the Champ de Mars were becoming a cause of serious uneasiness to the Luxembourg On the subject of the Champ de Mars attlim , Mr . Coning ham gave some interesting particulars . The decree by Z * km orS ? n « , ation 8 were set on foot , was never signed by M . Louis Blanc ; the decree was in fact issued by the other members of the Provisional Government during his absence from tbe Hotel de Ville . The labour of these auhers , as our readers are aware , was totally unproductive Their mode of organisation was as follows . Everv

      themselves into societies for the purpose of executing government contracts . After ' the dreadful days of June the Constituent Assembly , however , began to perceive that tbe policy of conciliation was more prudent than that of coercion and repression ; and on the 5 th of July , 1848 , three millions of francs were voted for the encouragement of the Association , and a Committee of fifteen persons , most of whom were favourable to the Co-operative principle , were appointed to superintend its distribution . But many difficulties arose . The suefive ministers of commerce unfortunately became ex ttmetnber 8 of the Committee , and they were imbued by Prejudices . Nor was there—the lecturer asserted—time nor opportunity to discriminate between the various applicants who crowded the door of the committee—some of them mere adventurers , others crude theorists , and few practical and tried men . The distribution of the money was

      shown by Mr . Coningham , iti a detailed statement , to have been anything but satisfactory to the government or the people . After further describing the wretched condition of the Operatives of France , on the authority of M . Leon Faucher , Mr . Coningham prooeeded to describe the foundation and management of the establishment of the much calumniated Tailors of Cliohy ; pointing attention in the first instance to the condition of the Parisian Tailors generally . In the early days of the Republic the cloth manufacturers of France held meetings ; and waited by delegates upon the P / ovisional government ; urging , as a measure of public safely , to be furnished with the meansof employing their workmen . The Tailors , on the other hand , were holding a Conference at one of the barriers of Paris , to decide on the best means of forming themselves into

      Associations , as their only chnnce of salvation . In compliance with the prayer of tbe manufacturers , the Provisional government issued a decree imposing on the communes the obligation of supplying the clothing of . the . National Guards , The workmen , who were informed by Louis Blanc of what was going on at the Hotel de "Ville , also addressed the Provisional government ; and on the 28 th of March the journeymen Tailors received a contract to supply Paris with 100 , 000 uniforms , at the rate of ten francs for a coat , and three francs for a pair of trowsers , without extras . Another bargain was also made with the minister of the Interior , to supply the Guard Mobile with 10 , 106 uniforms . The old debtors' prison , which bad become untenanted in consequence of the abolition of imprisonment for debt , was granted to the Operatives to perform the work

      in . The men , however , had not even the necessary stock to commence with ; but the masters who had assisted the men in procuring these contracts , raised the sum of 11 , 600 francs , and presented it as a gift to the Association . But the Associates declined the money , on these terms , and received it only as a loan , to be repaid when they settled accounts with the city of Paris . The Association of Clicby could not therefore be considered a fair test of the Co-operative Principle , as tho lecturer pointed out by reference to this and other disadvantages encountered . by thtm at the outset of the experiment , such as the indiscriminate admission of its members , and its imperfect code of laws . As tbe goods were delivered , the workmen received seven-tenths of their cost , and were to hare received tbe remainder on the completion of the contract . This latter arrangement was to

      found by the ^ men be very harassing , and , in order to surmount this obstacle they issued a real paper money or labour notes , payment of which waB generally guaranteed by government credit , the noteB varying in value from one to three francs , 80 , 000 of these notes were issued by the Association in three months , and they were readily taken by small traders in the quarters of Clichy and the Batignollea . There was no attempt made to counterfeit them , and no disaster occurred to the little bank . A few of these notes are still preserved as a curiosity . Ciichy must be viewed as a rate in aid—a kind of Cooperative asylum for men out of work , numbering from 800 to 1 , 600 a day , besides supplying 2 , 000 families with work at their own homes . After three mon tns' trial , the formation of a veritable association seemed within reach , out of the capital realised , when the disastrous

      day of June arrived . On the 23 rd the ouvriers never quitted their work . On the two following days they were unablo to reaoh the workshops ; but when , on the 26 th , the work shops were reopened , twelve men only out of the 1 , 600 were found absent . These facts completely refute the accusations brought against the workmen of Clichy of having taken part in the memorable insurrection . The men returned to work , resolved to make up for lost time , but the reactionary party bad gained a complete ascendancy and would not hold to the contract with them , by which , the owners lost at least 1 , 000 , 000 francs , as they had not executed more than one-third of the order . As an indemnity for this sacrifice , the workmen could only procure 80 , 000 francs , or less than 20 francs a head for the loss of six months ' work , The ateliers were closed by the

      Government in July 1848 , and in the liquidation of the affair the workmen were again reade to suffer . The goods delivered were submitted to a rigorous scrutiny : 27 , 307 coats , and 27 , 948 pairBoftrow 8 erswerehoweverpa 8 sedandaccepted . Yet , six months later a fresh inspection was ordered , and 711 more were cast aside as too small . The three tenths remaining unpaid by the city of Paris , were paid in March . The remainder of the labour notes were withdrawn from circulation , and the money advanced by the masters was returned to them , and after thus honourably discharging Ml their own obligations , despite the unfairness to which they were themselves subjected , they divided among their own members the balance left in hand . Altogether the tailors of Clichy received from the city of Paris , 370 818 fr including the 3 O , O 00 fr . damages for breach of contract , ihe clothing of the guard mobile had been already paid for by the Minister of the Interior , and produeed 142 , 000 fr . Tho great space we have already devoted to the valuable historical details given above , with the many other demands

      upon our space this week , preclude us from following the worthy and estimable lecturer through the remainder of his subject—a circumstance we regret , as the details were certainly important . We may state that the elite oi the men employed at Clichy clubbed together their resources and started a veritable Association in the Faubourg and St . Denis . It comprised fifty-four active membera , and 300 adheretvts—the original capital was 40 , 000 fr . The form of the society was a partnership en commandite , or limited liability . After at some length describing this Association and others , he had visited while residing in France , Mr . toningham summed up by showing : —First , That M . Louis Blano was not the originator of the Ateliers Aationaux , but , on the oqntrary , that they were organised as a military force , in order to oppose the Commifaion of the Luxembourg , and to descend into the streets , if it were necessary , to use words of a member of the Provisional Government . Second , That tho plan of making government advances for the purpose of emplovine unemnlovcd wni-t .

      men , originated with the cloth manufacturers , " of which ThofT . B ancve ry F ° Pevly took advantage . Third , That while the work ef the Ateliers Nationavx was totally unproductive , the work of the tailors of Cliohy was not only productive , but profitable , and lastly , while the military organisation of the Champ de Mars broke out into open revolt in the bloody days of June , the industrial organisation of the Rue de Clichy remained firm and loyal in its obedience to the laws , and faithful in its adhesion to tho cause of Order . After then quoting from Mr Tansittait HWt ff p ^ Wet , "May l ^ ot do what I like 5 h ly o « n , " as also from John Stuart Mill , and from Mr . Wilson s work on "Partnership en Commandite , " to sh ow the important results accruing from that form of business in

      « ranee , America , and in the island of Java , Mr Conineham resumed his seat . ' s The lecturer was listened to , during the delivery of this long address , with the utmost attention . The audience kept their eyes steadily fixed upon the lecturer , and except attimes . when the pent up feelings broke forth into applause , no sound was heard throughout the room . At the conclusion , Mr . Coningham was loudly cheered Mr . G . R . Vine moved a vote of thanks to the esteemed lecturer for his kindness in attending thoir town , to assist them by his valuable services , and requested that he would consent to publish his address . Mr . Stroud seconded the' motion , which was carried by acclamation . ' On the motion of Mr . Comngham , a vote of thanks was also tendered to the reverend Chairman
