      IMPORTANT MEETING OF TRADES' DELEH . ATES AT S 1 IKFF 1 KLI ) . On Wednesday eveninc , Nov . 2 <> th , a numerous moi'ting ( if cii'k'j ; iiti's from thi' slit'tik'kl tnuios was beld at tlie Lomlun M ' reiitiro , to consider the prowedi / ipi of ( he nxvtini ; of merchant * ami manufacturers , held in the Ctitlors ' -h . 'ill . Mr . Stones took the chair . The Chairman would not offer any excuse for his incapacity , but would endeavour to serve them as well . as ho could . The subject was of vital importance . Every well-thin kin jr man wait called on to place himsel f" i-i < rht before the public . After the calumnies heaped * on them by the manufacturers , it was the duty of even- meml » er of a Trade * ' Union to utter his sentiments . j < t . 1 J 1 , ^ '

      Mr . Thos . Booth said , that the working classes had been abused , slandered , belied , and ill-treated hist week ' s papers testified . The masters had departed from the subject they announced in their placard , and had turned upon the working classes , that they might act with them as thev had done b . ofore-j deprive , them of their rights , anil reduce them to degradation , misery , and pauperism . One gentleman said that " Sheffield was a doomed city . " If it w ; i . s doomed , as many ancient ritirs had been , to desolation , ho hoped , lwibro it fell , the working classes would irect some monument to Ik- read by a future Hunwr , to commemorate that the working clasps were steadfast in the cause of humanity , and demanded tlieir just rights . It appeared the gentle-1 ] ^ 1 ' 1 ' 1 :

      men met on the subject of protecting hie and property , but they turned from that subject to the means of reducing the working classes again to that state ol misery and va . ssa . lage of which they could not think without horror . They olFered no proof that the Trades' Unions had destroyed one particle of the trade , or that any committee had been accessory to any crimes against life or property . No such prool was pretended to be adduced , and there never had been of a recent date any proofs that could connect committees with such nth-inpis . The objects of the masters were first to slander , and , if possible , next to form an association to destroy the unions , however justly and righteously conducted . It was to }« no consideration whether thev were wel ] '

      or ill-managed . No suggestions were offered foi thui : lx'tter management . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . 1 bbotson and others had said the trades were ma naged by committees , but none said whence thosi committees came . They did not say that the coin mittees were chosen by the-members of the trades every man having a voice , and that in what the com mittees did , they merely carried out the resolutions o the body . ( Hear , hear . ) These gentlemen forgot tha they were about to act on the same principle them selves . They had seen what sort ol' wages the master allowed them , what hours they worked them , and hov they made use of the guardians to drive them bad upon such masters as Mr . Ibbotson , that the poo wretches might supplicate him for leave to live at all

      lie might be a friend to unions , but it was Poor Law Unions : not to unions that enabled mun to wiy , we will have so much wage , or do no work , and we work so . many hours , and no more . The principle the masters desired was , to work their men as many hours as they pleased , and to keep a reserve unemployed as a means to reduce wages . ( Cheers . ) It "'as the unemployed surplus that enabled mastersTo bring down wanes to the starvation point . He had read a small pamphlet , from the Jidinburgh Rci'iew , called " The Employer and the Employed . " It was chiefly in favour of the masters ; but it contained this admission , that if , in a given trade , 'J 50 men were employed , . and oO men unemployed , it was those 50 who would reduce the rate of wages . If the men had been getting " 2-3 s . a week , the /> 0 unemployed would off

      the employed , but the unemployed , who made the reduction ; and this shewed the effect of the short-time system , which enabled all the hands to be engaged , I and left no 50 to receive wages . Let them remember , I that the treatment of the pauper was so cruel , that ; they revolted in the streets . Let them never again ! forsake the cause of humanity , and allow men to be ' thrown in such numl > ers on the parish , to be so treated again . Let them rather reduce their labour to an hour a day , than submit to such degradation . ( Cheers . ) j _ Sir Robert Peel advised , some time ago , that they , should take their own affairs into their own hands . ; ( Cheers . ) If Parliament would not pass short-time bills—and he deploi-ed it much—let them who were i adult do it for themselves , and the children who ! worked under them . ( Cheers . ) The masters had always ' attempted to take undue advantage of the men who j confided in them . There never vet was a Trades ''

      t nion sprung into existence , till the rights of the men had first been encroached upon . ( Cheers . ) Every Trades' Union had emanated from the ' tyranny and oppression of the masters , which compelled the men , when the opportunity served , to take advantage of it to recover the position from which they had . fallen . I There was division among the masters now , and . if , anv concern ceased work , the others would take its orders . The manufacturers never could thoroughly unite . It was the more important that the' men

      should do so . Let their cause , their earnestness , be one . Let them carry out the work they had bo nobly begun , with a determination to transmit to their children the inheritance of a recompense for their labour , without too much toil . It had been calculated that two hours' labour a day by each person Would maintain the whole population . Surely , then , those "who worked nine hours did their full share , and any who worked less than two hours did not do their share . He concludedbymoving— "Thatthis meeting is of opinion that the arguments advanced by the

      merchant and * manufacturers , at their meeting , at the Cutler's Hall , on the 13 th inst ., was in a great measure at variance , as respects the legitimate objects tha meeting was called for , viz ., the better protection © flife and property | that while the present meeting ajprove of every effort that can be made to render ino'above more secure , it deprecates , in the strongest terms , the illberal and ungeinerous attacks that have b « en made against associations of workmen ; and this meeting is further of opinion , that the best means of defence is called for , to guard more effectually unions of workmen from such ill-founded and slanderous imputations as have been ascribed to them . " Mr . Jons Dnvnr seconded the motion . One object in calling this meeting was similar to the

      avowed object of the late meeting at the Cutlers ' Hall—to coalesce for the better defence of life and property . There were p lenty of moral means tc punish men who were inimical to the best ktereste » f the trade , without coercing persons or destroying iroperty . This had been his opinion for some time ; tna had the manufacturers confined themselves tc iheir legitimate object , he should have applauded / heir conduct . But when he aaw their requisition , ie suspected they had other objects , aud that , undei pretence of protecting life and property , they insiiiously designed to attack the Trades' Unions . It they broke up the unions , what equivalent had the nanufacturers to give I ( Cheers ) . From past experience they knew what would be their fate . What

      What was the state of the disorganised trades during the seven lean years spoken of by Earl Fitzwilliam ? What was the condition of the spring-knife cutlers , the table-knife baftcrs , the . fork-makei-s and grinders , who were disorganised ? Many were on the parishbooks , and many more laboured hard , and scarcely got more than the parish pittance . In the fork-trade , there had been instances of men falling dead from real want . These cases shewed the unenviable condition of disorganised trades , and if they were-disorganised , no doubt such scenes would soon be seen again . At the Town Hall Mr . Ibbotson had said that he h : ld no contentions with his own men ; that he treated them as a father , and they liked him . He must have a verv bad meniorv , for he had a

      controversy with certain trades about twelve months ago , when they had some very serious complaints against him . ( Hear , hear . ) lie stated that , for nine months , when lm had no orders , he employed /> 00 men . Those who- knew Mr . Ibbotsou , and could swallow that statement , had surely no right to treat Jack the Giant-Killer , or Sinbad the Sailor , as at all fabulous , ( Laughter . ) Mr . Sorby , too , with u good deal of egotism , boosted of his Liljerality ; but a friend had put him in possession of a statement at which he was not a little startled . He stated that Mr . Sorby had a person working for him with both feet and hands , doing with his feet work that should be done by steam or Avater power . In consequence of this worse than treadmill labour , the individual was

      often ill . He did not learn that Mr . Sorby visited him in his illness , or gave him any greater remuneration , but though he had a wife and four children , his wages were 16 s , a week . Other circumstances went to show that tho greater part of the men in a certain trade did not get more than 10 s . a week , while other employers , who did not go to the Cutlers ' Hall to boast of their liberality , were paying 21 s . This statement shewed bow liberally and egotistically gentlemen could talk when they had none to confront them . He said , with Mr . Booth , the workmen must stir in their own cause , for nobody would do it for them . The time was arrived when the working men ,

      having got some leisure hours , should try to employ them well , and there was no better mode than agriculture . ( Loud cheers . ) The thing had often been mooted and lost sight of , but he trusted the trades would now take it seriously up . In many cases it had been found that men employing their spare time on the land had a greater command over the necessaries of life than if they depended entirely on artizan labour . He heartily seconded the resolution ( Cheers . ) The Chairman said , he was sorry he was placed in the chair , for he represented a trade , the saw-makers , which had received such insults from the

      manufacturers as few others had done . The greater part of the statements of the manufacturers were palpable falsehoods .. They shewed that the working classes must protect themselves better for the future . Labour was the source of all wealth . It enabled the manufacturers to build palaces for themselves , to make themselves comfortable , and to send their clerks to the Isle of Man . Might it not enable the men to build themselves workshops , as well as they were built for them , and place themselves in a position thev were little aware of ? Mr . Broad hurst was

      sorry that a resolution of the manufacturers had not been carried out . That resolution shewed what they had to expect if they were guided by the rules of the masters , and in what position they and their children should be placed . The masters had been disappointed in the effect of their rule , and now wanted to see if they could not force themselves into if . ( Hear , hoar . ) The rule was , that any man not acting according to the wishes of any other manufacturer , should bo proscribed , and that no other should employ him . There was philosophy ! ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Wilkinson , table-knife hafter , said this was a mooting of much importance . It was necessary the public should know more than the manufacturers hiul told them—that the public should understand what principles the Unions were acting upon , as well

      as to repeal the assertions , without proof , made at the Cutlers' Hal } . He wns sorry tho manufacturers took up the Unions in the spirit they did . They complained of the men using means to force prices artificially high , and turning the trade from channels it would take if free . But , in talking on this subject , they indulged the spirit they deprecated , and their object appeared to crush , in everv illegal and unconstitutional way , the Unions tiiey complained of . They recommended nothing , but talked about closing their manufactories , and being able to say they had broken up the Unions . This-spirit wiis a bad one , and was likely to produce a degree of antagonism far more hurtful to the town than the Trades' Unions . They had heard of Earl FiUwilliam , after hearing the statement of < mlv one side , state

      that the manufacturers of Sheilield had been compelled to refuse to an order that had been offered , because ( lie mcti had struck , and the order had been sent to the continent . This was an order that would have come to his branch of the barters , for it was a table-knife order for Mr . Muntz . This tale had been repeated in the House of Commons and in the press , antl had done harm . But it would have a contrary effect when the facts were explained . At the time of that order the hafter * were working at a price the manufacturers had agreed to . The price had been fixed on a ^ conciliat ory principle . The masters thought it little enough , and had promised that , in three months , there should l > e another advance . The forgers also had submitted to the wages which the masters had airrced to . The fork trade

      had had no advance . Their Union was then in embryo . The men were then getting no extra price , but only what the masters thought reasonable ; The order of Mr . Muntz was therefore returned , because it could not be . done at prices which t ! ie manufacturers had themselves pronounced reasonable . It was not the workmen who had done it . And he wished this statement , which he had from a manufacturer , to go abroad , that the price Mr . Muntz offered would not have afforded parish pay to the haftcr . s and forgers . It was said that the order was taken to Germany , but let it be known that it came back again , and the goods were hafted in Sheffield . ( Cheers . ) The statement which had been made should be exploded . Mr . ] ) kukv Siiid , it had been done in their reply to

      Earl Fitzwilliain . Mr . Wilkinson : The manufacturers told them that they did not object to the prices , but to their Unions . But if asked whether they could have the prices without the Union * , they answered they could not . Then it stood thus—They did not object to the prices , but to the Unions , without which they could not have the prices . Then down \ vi nt the statement that they did not object to the prices . Their scheme was to break down the Unions , not by ri » ht , but by power . They complained of tho restrictions . These were an important feature in Trades' Unions . The

      men did not consider it sufficient to arrange lor a cer tain price . But regulations were needed to protect that price in perpetuity . They had , therefore , introduced the regulations of the Ten-hours' bill . This was complained of . They were told that trade could not be regulated by horn's—that ships could not wait on their hour *—and that the loss of an opportunity did a deal of injury . He admitted this , unless the regulation were carried out as in his trade , and then it could do no injury . The hafter might work ten hours , and was not allowed to do more . But if a manufacturer wanted to pack by a given time , so that the non-execution of the work would be an

      inconvenience , the man was allowed to take a note , authorizing him to work all night , or 14 . or 15 hours a day , till the order was completed , on condition that he should work so much less time , when he could do so without inconvenience . That was their regulation . It was not a restriction , and he thought any reasonable man would consider it proper . It was not right that some men should be working 14 or Io hours a day , while others should be on the fund , or starving . Instead of one man working 14 or 15 hours a day , it was better that he should only work 10 , and the other five hours go to another man , so that all might have a share of the labour of society . He hoped other trades would consider this plan . He had heard of one manufacturer to-day , going to

      another , and proposing a plan to boat the hafters , forgers , and grinders , as they should not urgently want their orders getting up till the next packing season commenced . This had been told them by one to whom it had been proposed . Such was the gentlemanly and , philanthropic spirit displayed . While complainingof coercion , the persons wanted to coerce the men . Before they were in union the following : had , for seven or eight years , been the practice in I their trade . The factors , who had no sympathy , with the men , kept back the orders to the last moj nient , and kept sending round to the small masters to see how low they could get the goods . At last i they threw out a great quantityof orders . The men ! were urged to the utmost . They had to procure i assistance . Men from the parish wye set on , and

This had been going on for years , and so low were the wages , that many men ,, 'having their wives and children working , got no niore than 1 . 3 k . or 14 s . a week , and yet the ihen were so much worn out on a Saturday night , having got upas many goods in a week as they , ought to do in a fortnight , that they could scarcely crawl home . This coula not be done now . The regulation he had described prevented it , and caused a more regular trade . Mr . Siuwi fender-maker , said their trade had a connexion in London , and throughout Epgland and Scotland . They had a box all the way through England , and they could stop the supplies to their masters , as they had done , while they had friends who could furnish suDDlies to them . They were not

      conquered sq soon as many might think . ( Cheers . ) A Representative of t . ie Penknife Cutlers said he was the delegate of that poor , degraded body , the penknife cutlers , a name which for twenty years had been a by-word for poverty . He had the honour last year to wait Jon all the principal manufacturers , and he would give some account of their views : The object of his mission was to see if they would co-operate in raising the men from the degraded state -in which they were pjaced . He began with Messrs . Joseph Rodgers and Sons , and had a long interview with Mr . John Rodgers , who certainly went over a deal of ground , and [ took a retrospective view of 'the trade . He mentioned that his father was accustomed to remark how soon his best hands , his sportsmeu hands .

      as he called them , became old men , haying to toil many hours ; and receive but a small pittance . If that was the ; case then , how much worse had it been since ' . There were articles for wliich Mr . Rodgers had been paying 24 s . per dozen making , which small manufacturers were making , with a deal of work , but not a useful article , at f 5 s . and 7 s . a dozen . Mr . Rodgers gave them every encouragement , and not only did so in words , but advanced £ 20 to form the union of their trade . ( Cheers . ) So much for a resp *> otublo manufacturer thinking Trades' . Unions an injury . He also visited Mr . Turner , of Suffolk Works , who expressed his willingness to " concur as far as he could , and subscribed two guineas . Mr . Wostenholnie was in America , but his foreman gave them jevery encouragement . They went to another manufacturer , who looked ready for a rope or the canal . He had despair in his countenance . He said he could buy cheaper than he could manufacture ,

      and he wished them success ; tor he did not know what to do , | The sight of that man so took away his spirits , that [ he could go no further that day . The next day they went to Mr . Rowbotham , who was willing to do alls he could in encouraging his men to join the union , j Some talked of wishing to crush the unions ; but if it were done , in a few months there would l ) e scarcely a manufacturer of table-knives or penknives 16 ft . All things would be turned round . He did not kuow what to think of men who talked of crushing the unions . He knew men who at present prices could earn only 8 s . or 10 s . a week , and yet were paying Is . a week to protect themselves for the future , and not for any present good . They did it willingly . They were not coerced . When he was a young man , he knew a ypung woman who had a sweetheart . Her mother asked her , " What trade is thy young man ?" " A fine penknife cutler , mother . " " Pry ' thee , lass , don't have him ; thou'lt have nowt but poverty . "

      " Well , what trade must I have , mother ? " ^ This set the mother i a puzzling , and at last she said a diesinker . " Well then , mother , " said the daughter , " I shall be glad if you'll get me one . \ Laughter . ) That young : woman was no other than his wife—( Laughter )—^ and he mentioned this to warn them against letting their trades fall into the same state . ( Cheers . ) j Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said that lately the table-knife manufacturers and hafters met , when the chairman of the meeting at the Cutlers' Hall was one of theini He said he hoped the union would secure regular priceB , for the factors could buy cheaper than thev could manufacture , and he hoped the

      regulation of prices would enable him to manufacture again . From time to time , since then , he had been supplied with hands . His trade had extended , but he manufactured more and bought less . Therefore , it was plain his objection to the Union was groundloss . The manufacturers , on the commencement of their Union , contributed £ 170 , to assist tllem in organising , and to regulate prices . Eighteen months ago , there were upon the parish books one-third of the able-bodied men in their trade . At this time them was not one . They paid a deal of money every Saturday night to the men out of employ , whioh prevented Iieaivy rates , and saved the men from the poorhouse . \ Surelv this was a great benefit .

      Mr . BrxToN , table-knife forger , said he-liked to be paid foriwhat he did , and to encourage the same sp irit in others . He trusted that the spirit they had shown would have a £ Ood influence . In depressed trade , tho niastci-s stinted the men . The men saw it suited tli ' e masters , and they had tried it for themselves . They found that it needed no more trade than they had had to maintain the men as they were maintained now . The men had adopted it , but the masters wore the first aggressors . The masters saw that it worked well . The men had now one-third of their time to cultivate their mental powers , and thus would become better able to oppose tyranny . The short ^ time system was working well among the men , and it was desirable that there should be a

      disposition among them to work it with fidelity . They were now ) comparatively comfortable , but the attempt was ] made to crush them , and the assertion that persons and property were in danger would be startling Unless met by counter statements , lie urged this was a matter of interest—their own interest . I ) ' a foreign foe threatened , the country would call ; on every Englishman to do his duty . And should not their personal interest stimulate them as much as that of the public : It was right that men should sacrifice their personal , interest for the common good . That they had done , but now he wanted them to arouse themselves to secure comfort for themselves , their wives , and children . ( Cheers . ) It was for tihis that they thought and studied , that

      they read the papers , and watched the course ol events . They wanted to restore a better state of things than that men should work long hours for . nothing . ] it' the men were adequately paid , would they allow women and children before they had learned tq read , to go to the workshops ? In that case , should they sec the masters resort to such dastardly means as this association to protect life and property , iand the ba « l tooling of the town increased by the declarations of some of the masters . If we get you down , we'll screw you worse than you ever have been . ( Hear , hear . ) Let them remember the Masters and Servants' Bill of last session , b y which men might have been brought before the magistrates for anything or nothing . ( Cheers . ) If such a bill had passed , they might soon have seen the time when theIneople would be as subservient as of old .

      The resolution was then put to the . vote , and carried unanimously . Mr . Joseph Wilkinson , of the tile trade , rose to propose the second resolution . He thought enough had been ' said to convince any reasonable . men of the masters' ( error , and to shew them that Trades ' Unions were not the evil they spoke of . . Short time was said [ to be a great evil—he thought it a great good . llX ' tjitoied from Wade ' . * History of the Middle and \\' ork ; ,,, i Y-os .-. t , an illustration similar to that quoted bv . Mr Booth , to shew that it was the

      unemployed po . iiio'ii of any trade who reduced its wages . rhei . iia . stii >> / night give over ni : i : iuf ;; cturing , and live on their Capital , and they ( the workmen ) claimed the same right . ( Hear , hear . ) What master had a rinht to i say , he must work fourteen hours a day , when his ; health ami comfort told Imu 10 hours were enough ' . } Besides , there was his neighbour , who , if he and others worked 14 hours , must go without ; he , too , jif they worked moderate hours , would have a ' share . ] But the masters would remove their capital ! Where to ' . To America I The Americans would dictate to them more than the English , and besides \ would call the Boss , and not master .

      ( Laughter . ) Where would they make goods cheaper than in Kn « land i Cobbett said England \ yas the cheapestjlabour-market in the world . He believed it was . Wjhere but in England would they get a gross of seLssors ground for Is . i Yet here the scissors were manufactured and sold , material and all , for ^ s . i 3 d . I All the casting , grinding , putting together ! filing , burnishing , paper , band , and everything included , was sold for 2 s . 3 d . per gross ! Where would a rich man manufacture cheaper ' . ( Loud cheers . ) But they were told they had no right ttf dictate to their fellow-work men " on what terms they should sell their labour . He held that they had that right . He would suppose a case . Take him to be a single man , able to do as much work asjany man in the trade . His fellow-workman

      had a wife and three children . Their , master had work enough for only one . They were paid , say one shilling ja dozen . Now , should he say to the master—If you will give me all the work , I will do it at 8 d . The mimed man might surely remonstrate— " Joe , thou'lt starve me to death . It may do for a single man like thee , but we can ' t live on that . " He said , the man had a right to try to persuade him to stand up for the maintenance of the Is ., and if he did not do it , he should be a rogue . He met his own master one day |—a man who was always willing to pay the price , though he very probably required a shilling ' s worth lor a shilling—and he said to him , why don't you spend your time and energies in making those pay the : price who do not pay it ? Look at so and so

      make them pay the price . That was what they were aiming ! to do . The ineu who wanted to crush the Unions | were those who wanted to get rich in a few years ; jthe bold speculators , who had several sons , and must have a fortune for each , as well as a portion for each daughter . They hasted to be rich , and so fell into temptation , and the snare of the devil ; and it woulil be well if they were not drowned in perdition . Such men cared and felt for none but self , while they must feel for their wives and children . He had heard of one gentleman saying , " 1 have beat my men single-handed . " ( Laughter . ) "When the people jwere all rejoicing that peace was made , and Napoleon sent to St . Helena , old Cobbett said , "Don't be so ready to sit down to the feast—the shot ' s ftp pay yet . " ( Laughter . ) And so he said to the gentlemen who made this boast . He had a reso

      Untitled Article

      lution to move , which he did not expect to be complied with . He moved— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a public meeting of the inhabitants of this town be convened as early as possible , and an invitation sent to the party who met at the Gutters * Hall , to discuss certain propositions —( Hear , hear . J-. which will be submitted to them through the medium of the public press . " ( Cheers . ) He belieied the challenge woula not be met . "He believed the manufacturers hated the light—they knew why . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Tatlor , edge-tool grinder , seconded the motion . Man was ordained to eat bread by the sweat of his brow . But the famished looks they had seen during the last seven years shewed that they could not always get bread by that means .

      Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said , as to short time , he wished to advise how they should deal with those opposed to it . If there was one out of twelve in a shop who would not comply , let them not call him " knobstick , " or do any thing to make him uncomfortable . But at night , when the time toleav * work arrived , let the eleven quietly put their coats on , and leave him alone , and they might rely upon it he would not stand it long , but would cease to be * knobstick , and become a good man . He had long taken in and admired Chambers ' s Journal ,- but Chambers was now publishing a series of tracts , and one was on " The Employers and the Employed . " It was a one-sided concern , and he believed had been issued from Chambers ' s press , knowing that it would thus gain a greater circulation than through any other medium . The resolution was then put and carried .

      Mr . Geo . Gallimore said , "if it was not so late , he should have wished to draw attention to the article in the Independent on Trades' Unions , which he conceived to be as slanderous an attack as the speeches at the meeting . He hoped there would be another opportunity to go into its merits . A Delegate from the Spring-knife Cutlers , concurred in this complaint . Their proceedinga were not duly reported , and till they had a press of their own , things would be no better . Tilings were strangled , year after year by editors , who turned everything to suit their party . The press atetted the tyranny that was bringing the working classes to starvation .

      Mr . f . Booth moved , that a committee ot seven be named , to prepare the propositions for discussion , to fix the time of the meeting , and to invite the masters to attend . Mr . Drury seconded the motion . An amendment was proposed to substitute nine for

      seven . The mover assented to the change , and the motion was carried . The Committee was nominated as follows : —Messrs . Thomas Booth , John Drury , Stones , IV . iJroadhead , Buxton , B . Lit tie wood , John Taylor , G . Wilkinson , and W . Pryor . —Carried unanimously . Mr . Drchy then read the following letter from Mr . Duncombe : — The Albauy , Nov . 16 th , 1844 . Deab Sib , —On my return to town , I found jour note , accompanied by the Pamphlet containing your reply to the speech recently delivered by Lord Fitzwilliani at the Cutlers' Feast , and which , according to your request , I have perused with ^ reut attention , and tliink that it contains much valuable information , and is written with great

      ability . It will require , in my opinion , stronger argUr ments than Lord Fitzwilliani has adduced , to induce the Legislature to suppress Trades' Unions . There can be no doubt that the Masters' and Servants' Bill of last session was an insidious attempt at that object by Sir J . Graham . I do not thiuk it wag brought in with that view , but he seized the opportunity of converting it to that purpose , ¦ wishingto direct it more especially , I believe , at that time , to the pitmen in the north . " I should not be siu-prised if some fresh . attempt were made next year ; but you , and all my kind friends at Sheffield , may rely upon a continuance of my exertions to defeat any attempt to prevent what I consider a just combination of the industrious classes . I am , dear Sir , yours faithfully , THOS . S . DUNCOMBE . Mr . W . Bkoadhead moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which was carried , and the meeting brok * up after II o ' clock .

      Lecture on Trades' Unions . — On Sunday evening Mr . West delivered a lecture to the trades on " Trades' Unions , and their dutv at the present crisis . " The large room , Fig-tree-lane , was crowded to excess . At half-past six o ' clock Mr . Morton Royston was called to the chair , who in a very appropriate address introduced Mr . West to the meeting . Mr . West , in a masterly address , which occupied nearly two hours in the delivery , traced the cause , origin , and progress of trades' unions , the history of strikes , ana the causes of their failure . lie then pointed out the uecessity of a consolidation ^ of all trades in the country for mutual protection . He shewed minutely the advantages to the various tradee

      by investing their funds m the purchase of land , to employ their hands either in slack trade or when they were on strike . At the close of Mr . West ' s address a person named Cliffe made some remarks respecting the Corn Laws , and the doinga of "Swing " in the agricultural districts , which , he said , was doing more to bring the aristocracy to their senses than . ill the progress and intelligence of the workingclasses . Mr . WeBt replied satisfactorily on the question of the Corn Laws , and showed clearly that it was the progress of mind among the masses that the oppressors , both manufacturing and agricultural , dreaded most . Mi \ G . Cooke said they had had enough of the humbug of Corn Laws . What

      they wanted was some plan by which they might be enabled to become independent of the caprice and tyranny of their employers . Asa great number of the trades' delegates were present , he would like to know if they were prepared with any plans to carry out the very excellent recommendations of Mr . West . Mr . Booth , metal smith , said the trades' delegates were purely administrative , not executive ; they acted on the broad basis of political equality , and could not dictate any plans until the trades had decided on them . They could give their opinions ; and his was , that the safest investment they could make of their funds was in the land . jHe then shewed , with great clearness , the superiority of the land over

      lnanufaetures , as an investment for their capital . For the produce of the land they had a home market at their own doors , whilst the peculiarity of their trade made them in a degree dependant on foreign markets , and the factors , who were the great exporters . After * manv more very excellent observations , Mr . Booth sat down amid universal applause . There were then loud calls for Mr . John Drury , the respected and indefatigable secretary of the United Grinders . Mr . Drury came forward , and , after complimenting Mr-West on his able lecture , took a review of the objections of the masters to Trades' Unions , exhibiting the silliness of those objections in a masterly style . He next referred to the fact of the masters withdrawing their support from the Mechanics' Institution , because , as thev said , there were Trades' Unions in

      the town ; a proof that they dreaded the prosressof knowledge among the working classes . But thej " were too late ; the multitude haa become enlightened ; their motto must now be " onward" until they achieved labour ' s honest triumph , and secured equality ana justice to all . Mr . Drury sat down loudly cheers-Mr . Gallimore , razor-grinder , stated that he »' <* happy to inform the trades present , that it was tie intention of the working classes of Sheffield to purchase for Mr . 1 Irury a life annuity , in testimony w his valuable services , and to place him beyoiid the persecuting grasp of tyrants ; this announcement was received with great cheering . After a vote of thanks to the Lecturer and Chairman , this g «« meeting , the most important ever held in the Chan 1 " room , broke up shortly , after ten o ' clock .
