      SOTJTH WALES . IC 1 RCULAR . ) Sydney , October the 28 th , 1841 . IHE BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS OF SYDNEY , XEW SOUTH WALES , TO THE BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Fellow Countrymen , —In consequence of the master boot and shomakers of Sydney having sent to England a flittering circular dated the 27 th of October , 1840 , one of the copies of which we have received from London by one of our trade , Robert Mathews , late of the Old Biiley , London , purporting to be a statement of the wages given for closing and making boots and shoes in this colony , who waa therefore induced to emigrate in order to better his condition .

      Oa the arrival of Matbews he applied for work to Sir . Sloroan , -who -waa at that time secretary to the society of master boot and shoemakers , bub was told by him that lie could not find work for the man assigned to him . Mathews told Mr . Sloman that he brought a statement of the Sjduey wages with him . Slumaii laughed and told him that was one of the statements be had sent home , and that he had sent them to all the grindery shops he could think of in England , Ireland , and Scotland . The Government here are perfectly aware of the superabundance of boot and shoemakers in this colony and will not pay passage money for any ti > couie out belonging to the trade .

      The shopmates are probably not aware of the extensive importati 6 n of boots and shoes of all kinds—the quantity is sufficient to supply ths wants of the inhabitants solely . We have Uierefora to contend with the imported "work and the exorbitant demands of the landlord . We have left eur native homes where we bad the society of our friends to sympathise with ns in our distress or afflictions , but the blessing of sympathy is a stranger to the shores of New Holland , and the greater number of emigrants complain after their arrival here that they have been deceived by the flattering accounts that are circulated at home respecting this colony .

      A small house , containing three apartments , the weekly rent will not be less than £ l 5 s . 0 d ; with four apartments , £ l 15 s . dd ., and it Jiiust be borne in mind that the market is liable to great fluctuations , as we depend as much on ferfcign produce for the staff uf life as we do on the produce of this coiony . The rate of the market is as follows : — s . d . s . d . Bread , tae 21 b . loaf 0 6 Su ? ar per 1 b . ... 0 4 B .-ef and Mutton Coffee per lb . ... 1 4 per lb 0 5 Potatoes per lb .... 0 3 ^ Pork per Ib . 0 10 Cabbage per bead Buxter fresh pet lb . 3 6 from Ito 3 Cheese per lb . ... 1 G P < . as per peck ... 3 0 Oatmeal per lb . ... 0 G All other vege-Aliik per qaazi from ltoS tables « qnalJy Tea per lb 3 0 high

      Coming to a Dew coloiy , to a man who has a family in order to make a provision for them is , we must allow , a very commen

      We have therefore thought it onr indispensibie duty feo gnird you frem being duped as others have been by the specious eBCDurageaicnts that ara published ai home . Trusting that this will be a warning to all shopmates , We remain , respectfully yours , The Operative Boot and Shoemakers of Stdsey , New Suuiu Wales . Pathjck White . >_ .

      ( CIRCULAR ) OF THE OPERAT 1 TE STONE MASONS . Sydney , New South Wales , Oct . 2 Sih , 1 S 41 . At a meeting wf delegates of all the trades held at the Crown and Anchor , Tavtrn , George-street , Sydney , on tie 21 ? t October , 1841 , it ¦ was unai-imoasiy agreed , that emigrants had been deluded to this colony , by the Bounty Agert ? holding out such prospects to them , so as to cause many to emigrate here who are now in great distress , more particularly ia other trades than in oar owe .

      There were not less than thirty out of empley during the last six months , out cf five hundred mason ? . Our trade is not brisk at present , owing lo the go ^ rnniein public works being done by prison labour , which was formerly done by government emigrants . Hut Einr * emigTania have come oui in bounty ships they kavo not been employed iu government works , bt » t the day after their arrival they are left to pcrhh in the streets , with their wives and families . We , therefore , bfcg of yen of the Trades' "Onion , to petition Parliament to cause emigrants to coine out in government sLips , as on their arrival they are tmployed by Government and provided with houses to live in uiitU they obtain ether employment .

      Beware cf bounty emigration , for it is ocly a delusion . Employment is scares , house renta high , aad provisions dear , as you will sea by thu fo ; lowiug statement : —Our wages are frcm eight to nine siiiilicgs per day for competent workmen , wilh precarious tmphiynient . Thsre is bo surety tf work more th ^ a a Week at a time , as the work hire is so vrry uncertain , coupled as tney are with very stringent laws between workmen and the : r employers , and entirely different to vf ' aat is enforced in Great Britain and Ireland , as wo have an aristocracy here who make laws to suit their own private ends , to the detriment cf the worti % - man .

      We have here sent you a plain statement of the stale of tfcs Colocy , -whica we hope you wiil take into your serious coiisideratiou , and th-. n judge fjr yourseivts , ¦ whether to remain at . tome or emigrate to this Colony , fesariDg in mind ihat you have to labour for eight months in tae year under a- vertical sun , with the following deductiois from your wages , if you have employment , viz ., house renta for a taan and his "wife , ten shillings per week ; firewood , candles , and provisions , ¦ will average two pounds per -weefc . Single a-. en must pay ai ihe rate of one pound , ten shillings p ? r -week . This inutt be foriished weekly , exclusive of clothts aud tools , ic &c . Dear brothers , ^ a leave you to judge th 9 stite of the poor labouring min , who only g <^ s at the rate of four shillings per tlay , when he has employment ; what must be his condition , with the hkh rate of living ?

      YVe will continue to ho ! 4 a monthly correspondenci .-with you in future . Should things get better , you v .-ill be made acquainted from lime to time . We wish you t'J circulate this statement an : ong « t the working c nesta of Great Britiin ; . nd Ireland , to prevent the sad occurrences we have already witnessed . We ¦ wish you to b particular in cur correspondence ¦ with you only in this ciiealar , as for the future we shall have a stamp , so that yon mil know it is from our society , as the masters are in the habit of noS only writing , bnt getting printed circnlasa sent from this colony to Great Britain and Ireland , "with false s * atement 3 of the colony , trade , provisions , house rent , &c -which has caused many deluded emigrants to end their days on our shores , who migkt have seen better days in their native land .

      barns&by . —Visit op Mr . O'Connor . —Mr . O'Connor paid his long-expected visit to Barnsley , on Saturday last . The meeting was announced to b e held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , at eight o ' clock , bat long before that hoar the approaches to the town from the railway were thronged with dense masses of the working men , anxiously awaiting the arrival of the champion of their rights . Mr . O'Connor however did not arrive until nine o ' clock , when his appearance was bailed with a tremendous cheer ; he looked in excellent health and spirits , and as ready to battle with tyranny as three years ago , when h « last visited Barngley . The people now repaired to the hall which , which , iu the course of a few minutes , was densely filled ; and from the

      occasional interruption ot the door , we Bhould say that a great number could not gain admiBssion . The extensive gallery was crowded by . the ' -fair , rapsorters of the Charter . One striking feature in the meeting was the large number of Mr . O'Connor ' B countrymen , who in this town are preminently characterised by their firm adherence to the good cause . On the motion of Mr . Mirfield , Mr . Vallance was called to the chair , who , after a few remarks , gave way for Mr . Mirfield to move the first resolution , which was as follows : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that the great distress at present pervading this once happy country is the result of class legislation , and that there ia no hope of redres 3 for the industrious

      millions but jn the People ' s Charter becoming the law of the land . " The resolution having been seconded , the chairman then introduced Mr . O'Connor , who , on coming forward , was received with the most enthusiastic and tremendous cheers . Mr . O'Connor , after expressing the great pleasure he felt at again meeting his Barneley friends , proceeded , in his usual forcible and eloquent manner , to comment upon the distress so widely existing at the present time—the causeB of that distress—the quack remedies proposed by the present Government—and lastly , the measures that must be adopted to save the nation from irretrievable ruip , and restore permanent happiness and prosperity to the industrious classes . Towards the

      conclusion of his address , Mr . O'Connor alluded and replied to certain calumnies propagated against him in his absence b y Mr . William Ashton , who baB lately left Barnsley for America . Mr . O'Contor's statemeuts gave general satisfaction , and after speaking an hour and a half , he sat down amidst the oft-repeated cheering of his delighted auditors . The first resolution was then put and earned unanimously . Mr . M . Segrave moved the second resolution— " That the Eincere thanks of this meeting are justly due , and hereby given , to our unflinching advocate , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., for his strenuous exertions in the cause of freedom and the rights of industry ; and this meeting declares that Mr . O'Connor ' s character shall never be lessened in their esteem by the slander of any paid or interested

      miscreant , be he whom he may . " Mr . Eneas Daly seconded the resolution . Mr . George Julian Harney , from Sheffield , spoke in its support ; and after a few words from Mr . Ward , it was put and carried by acclamation . Mr . James Noble moved the . third resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Peter Hoey , and carried unanimously— "That the best thanks of this meeting are hereby given to the members of the late Convention , for the unanimity of purpose which characterised their deliberations in their advocacy of the rights of the people . " Mr . O'Connor returned thank ? , and thanks having been voted to the Chairman , the meeting dissolved . [ Mr . Harney took copious notes of Mr . O'Connor ' s speech , intendiDg to furnish aleDgthy and minate report of the proceedings , but was prevented from doiugso by severe illness . ]

      The Children ' s Emplovment Commission Report ;— - "I will conolude this letter by a few words about the most extraordinary ,- inhuman , barbarous , but truly philosophic speech , whioh was , aa I believe , ever delivered in the -- -VFing- of-, humii ' n beings ! -a speech in which the most terrible tortures , practised upon women , children , and infants in oar coal-mines , were palliated and extenuated ! I deeply rcpet that the audience were British Peers ; I mourn that the speaker was a noble philosopher of our own county , whose name was , when I was a youth , th $ apark which lit the hearts of patriots into a flame ! How are the mighty fallen!—how is the fine gold become dim ! Whatlxavoo has covetousness , * that passion for accumnlation , which has no limits' —what havoc

      has that spell from the regions of darknes 3 made on the character of our' race ! Howhas it brutalised some even of our nobleB 1 That book of murder 'The First Report of the Children ' s Employment Commissioners , ' has caught the eye of Earl Fifzwilliam : he has read it ; and having surrendered himself to the principles of philosoph y * he does nipt shudder at its contents , but in bis place in the House of Lords , if he is not misreported , he has coolly asserted , amongst other things , 'That the narrowness of some of the coal seams in some of the pits rendered it necessary that persons of small size ( why not say at onGe infants of three or four years old and upwards ?) should work them ! ' What would his Lordship think , if , when the tables are turned ( as probably they soon will be under the

      new tariff ) , his grandchildren should bo thus tortured and oppressed 1 The being who can palliate the crime of . working infants , as they are described by the Commissioners to be worked in those narrow w seams , ' may be a philosopher and a noble ! a man he cannot be ! Let my fate be what it may , I shall ever rejoico that God has counted me worthy to be an instrument in arousing the attention of the people and the Government to the condition of the infantile slaves , who are the foundation and the unhappy victims of our grand manufacturing and commeroial operations !

      Trades' Unions . —The following address , published by the Blackburn Chartists is worthy of serious consideration by artisans of the kingdom generally : — " To the various trades and societies of Blackburn . —Friends , —^ It is time that all trades and societies were united in one great union , for the purpose of obtaining those political privileges which are your birthright ; thosa privileges which only can false yon to that position in society you ought to occupy , and which only can secure to yo \ i a fair equivalent for your labour-. The object for which trades' unions were formed was to protect the labouring man , to keep up his wages and to prevent his master from exercising an undue influence over him j and on them thousands of working men havei placed their

      confidence . Have they realised the object for which they were formed ? kept up wages of protected the rights of the working man ? Let the impoverished condition of the operatives of this country answer the questions ; they do indeed stand as bulwarks betwixt the oppressed and tho oppressors , but have failed of their intended effects . Has not reduction after reduction taken place in your wages ? your labour has been left unprotected by the laws , and in consequence has continually decreased in value . New inventive powers of production which ought to be blessings to all classes of the community , have been but death paals to the hopes of the working man . The productive power of the country has increased to forty times the amount of the power in existence

      m 1770 , yet the real producers of wealth , the persons who have filled our markets and granaries , and glutted the country with abundance , are starving in the niidst of plenty . The strange anomaly of too much of every thing , and privation and suffering , afflicts British society . Instead of the working man , after having prodnced all this abundance , being able to enjoy the fruits of his labour , or when old age creeps on to fiud a home among the green fields of his own native land , he is forced to emigrate to a foreign country , or be incarcerated in a bastile . Friends , we conceive the cause of all the evils te be class legislation , ihe interests of the few ^ afe promoted in direct opposition to the interests of the many . The working people have produced all those luxuries which exist in such abundance , but by not having a voice in forming the laws , th ^ y ate pre vented from enjoying them , and taxation without representation is tyranny , and ought to be resisted

      Friends , the Charter has been projected and its golden letters displayed to the people , yet the mass have hesitated to advance ; if the trades would declare for the . Charter , their high moral position , mental capacity , and general information would immediately insure its adoption . Arise then and organise ! rally round the standard of freedom ^ fctrike at the root of our grievances ( claS 3 legislation ) make the Charter the lawof the land , give labour its due reward , and England will yet be the admiration of the world , a model to surrounding nations . Th' n let : tho trades unite with the National Charter-Association ; let one great blow be struck at the citadel of corruption said it will bury beneath its ruin the oppressor of the working man . The committee meet every Wednesday evening at Mr . Aspden's , the Temperance Hotel , Darwen-street , and any information required may beliad by applying at the above hotel . Signed on behalf of the Committee , j . Gibson ^ Secretary . "

      TO THE PEOPLE OF YORKSHIRE . My Dear Friends , ^—I have just addressed the men of Nottingham in the Market Square ; and when I conclude my week's labour , 1 shall have addressed the people of Lancashire , Yorkshire , Warwickshire ,, Leicestershire , Derbyshire , ( twice ) and Staffordshire , iu seven days ; that is , I shall have travelled , at least , one-fourth of England within that time ; and as I was to have been at Huddersfield on Monday , I must really , from absolute inability , claim a week's rest , and postpone my visit to Yorkshire till Monday week . The fatigue of travelling , writing , conversing with working men , and the exhau ' <on consequent upon speaking , and remaining in rooms hot as ovens for five or six hours a day , is more than a steel man could endure at this season of the year ; and I have the vanity to believe that my fripnris An not , want to kill mft '

      I mean to be in Huddersfield on Monday wees , the 30 h ; Halifax , Tuesday , 31 st ; Bradiord , Wednesday , 1 st June ; Keighley , Thursday , 2 nd ; Dewsbur-y ,- Friqay ; and Todmorden or Hebden Bridge , ( the Association must arrange which , but being ' within two arid a half miles of each other , both is too much ) on Saturday . On the following Monday , I place myself under the management of Beesley , for North Lancashire , for four days or a week , if possible . In the meantime , however , I am commissioned by the Char Lists of Nottingham to say that they consider my presence , from next week till the close of the election , as indispeusible ; and have requested of me most urgently to make an appeal to those places io which I stand pledged for leave of absence , until the battle shall be fought here .

      Ifou must know our exact position , Mr . Sturge arrived " aere yesterday , arid was met by upwards of 20 , 000 people , and upon mounting the platform in the midst of a dead and portentous silence , one of our Nottingham loaders , the brave Sweet , by order of the electorsandnbn-electorsputrtheqaestioritoAIr . Sturge , " Will y ju vote for the Charter whole and entire V and to which Mr . Sturge answered , "I

      unequivocally PLEDGE JIVSiiLF TO THE SUPPORT OF EVERY PRINCIPLE CO . NTAINLD IN THE PEOPLE ' S CHARIER . " A vast number of Tories who doubted Mr . Sturge ' s real < bj . 2 ct in having adopted those principles , and who hoped for a laugh and triumph over Mr , Sturge and the Chartists , hung their heads , and grew pale , and sneaked off , amid Chartist cheers that rent the air . Tuo nutation was put to the Chartists of LeiceVtcr ' ast night , in the Amphitheatre / whether or not Foarsus O'Connor should go to Nottingham to aid the .. Chartists in returning ^ Mr . Sturge , when every hand was held up for going on the mission , and not a single hand , of course , against it . \ Ve must bear in mind that Nottingham struck the lasi blow at Whi ^ tjery ; and NottiBgham now aims tho first blow at Tor > ism . Every workitig man in Nottiijghii-m , elector and non-elector , has pledged his adherence to the Six points of the Charter , and to the support of Mr . Sturge .

      And iiuw , my lr . onds , jast for a moment behold how my prophecy has been fulfilled . 1 have told you a thousand times over that the ' . existence of three parties in the state was incompatible with tho existencef of peice , law , and order , and that sooner or later tho fight between Chartism and Toryism would be - ' . ' sure : to come , but not till intriguing wi >/ S arinihilated . Here , then , is the fulfilment of my prophecy in the present position of Nottingham . Here , then , is the odium of Toryi- < m stripped from the back of Chartism , and here we find the battle between Toryism and Chartism ; and now the question is , whether any available aid should be withheld from the men of Noittrigham . - :

      The mechanism of elections the Chartists have not been much accustomed to , while'I have conducted more fiercely contested elections than any living man . They consider the question as one of paramount importance , They do me the honour to suppose that my continuous presence would go far to ensure success ; and will those to whom I am pledged for a single speech , and whom I shall visit immediately after the victory is won- ^ I ask , will they mar tha prospect of success for tho mere difference of time J No , I cannot believe it ; and therefore it is that I and their friends of Nottingham make this appeal to those to whom I am pledged for kave to coatribute iny aid in the destruction ef Toryism . Should they concur , they will forthwith write to me , addre . Vied . to Mr . John Cleare , 1 , Shoelane , Fleet-eireet , London , as I must make arrangeumtB aceojdwj £ ly . li I am allowed tofemain at

      Nottingham , I will fearlessly pledge myself for the result ; and also to save pur party some hundreds of poands , to organise them , to keep the peace of the town , and to return Mr . Sturge ; and ebould we succeed at Nottingham , we at once establish the principles upon which the next general . election is t < 7 be directed , namely , - that the contest is to be between Chartism and Toryism . Pray allow the honest non-electora of Nottingham to have one dnpiid agent oa their behalf . I wish for early

      answers , as in the event of my remaining at Not ' tingham , I must make my own arrangements after my otyn fashion , while I feel convinced that the whole people of the town and neighbouring districts will hail with joy a compliance with their request , which I now make in the joint names of Ywtf faithful friend , : Feahoos O'Connor , And yonr anxions and devoted brethren , The People op Nottingham and District .

      My Dear Friends , —I need say no more upon my own part , and upon the part of your brother Chartists of Nottingham , than that compliance with the above joint request of Mr . O'Connor and tha fiople will be hailed by thousands with joy ; while have every reason to believe that it will ensure the triumph of our principles ..

In the ' warehouses there is rather more animation , and perhaps there have been on the whole more goods taken out of the Halls during the week , than was the case in the week . previous .

      HUDDERSPIELD MARKET , TOESDAYj MAY 17 . — Little business was transacted here to-day , nor was there much looked foK The thought or having a good market appears to have deserted the manafacturers altogether .

      fair extent ; perhaps more might have been done had the Spinners given way to the request of the buyers , but to do this is impossible , except at great sacrifice ; and as Yarns are now sold for less than was ever remembered , while Wool is still higher . An opinion is gaining ground that Yarns have seen their lowest point , even though wool should recede ftitther . Piece . —This beiDg the Whitsuntide holiday , also an extra session for the trial of prisoners ; bur town has been very busy with idlers ; but in business matters no change of % material character has taken place . Orleans and Merinoes appear to have been going to a fair extent , and we hope , before the expiration of many weeks , the stock of manufactured goods in tho market , which we learn is not heavy , will be muoh reduced .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , May 16 .- — The imports of British Grain , Flour and Oatmeal , into this port during the last seven days , are rery light ; and the arrivals from abroad are comprised in 6 , 311 qrs . of Wheat , 1 , 750 qrs . of Beans , and 2 , 700 barrels of Flour . At Tuesday ' s market there was a better sale for Wheat , and although some of the recently-imparted Lower Baltic red waff sold rather lower—say 9 s . 3 d . per 70 lbs . f prices generally remained much the same as at the close of last week . The buisness in that grain has been on a moderate scale , without causing variation in the quotations . The sales of Flour have been very much in . retail at 3 ^ s . 6 d . to 353 . 6 d . for Canadian , and 35 s . 6 d . to 36 a * 6 d . per bf 1 . for United States sweet . Withoat

      anything like activity in the demand , the scarcity of fine Oats has put up their value id . to Id . per bushel , and secondary runs are also held for rather more money . Oatmeal is quoted 3 d . to 6 d . per load dearer , but little has been done at the amendment . No change as regards Barley , Beans , or Peas , Considerable transactions have occurred in the bonded market ; a cargo of Barletta Wheat afloat has changed hands at 47 * . _ 6 J . per qr ., cost and freight ; two or three of Stettin red at 48 s . per qr ., free oh board , and offine white at 8 * . 24 . per 70 lbs . delivered here ; Egyptian in store at 5 s . ; several parcels of common Odessa soft at 6 s . 3 d ,, and Polish Odessa at .: 6 s . lid . per 70 ^ . A cargo of Egyptian Beans has also beea sold at I 85 . per 480 lbs . in store .

      London Corn Market . t-Monday , May 16 . —The supply of wheat was rather limited from Essex , moderate fair from Kent , but yery small from Suffolk , with only a limiteti show of barley , beans and peas ; from all these counties there were go 6 d fresh arrivals of oats , having several vessels in from our own coast and Ireland , in addition to a large supply during lasc week , a great portion of which remained over for this day ' s market . The importation of foreign wheat has been tolerably large since this day week . The weather feas been variable during the past week , with occasional , heavy showers , but nights cold , and the wind is now to the northeast . There was a good demand for English wheat this morning at an advance of Is to 2 s . per

      quarter on all fine qualities , particularly those which were fresh thrashed , and a tair steady sale for free foreign at an improvement of Is per quarter ! that in bond was held for full or even higher prices , and buyers are willing to take some quantity on former terms . Good marks of ship flour were quite as dear , and in fair request . Barley brought last week ' s currency for distilling and grinding purposes . —Malt was without . ' alteration in value . Beans and peas realized full as much money . Oats were held for last week ' s prices , which the consumers gave for good corn , whilst the large dealers are trying to get into stock on lower terms , having a good choice of English to select from , but the factors seem pretty firm , and have consequently checked sales .

      London Smithfield Market , Monday , May 16 . —The supply or beasts in onr market of to-day was , the time of year considered , moderately good , and , generally speaking , of fair , average qualify— : here being a great comparative improvement apparent in the condition of the Scots , Devons , runts , Herefords , shorthorns , and homebreds . From Norfolk and Suffolk , we received 1450 Scot 3 aad homfebreds ; from others of our grazng districts , 220 of various breeds ; from Scotland , by steamers , 300 Scots . Tha attendance of buyers baing hot very numerous , the

      beef trade was in a depressed state , and , in order to effect a clearance , a decline , in the currencies noted on Monday last , Of quite 2 d -per 8 lb , was submitted to by the salesmen . The number of shetp was extensive , which produced much heaviness ia the demand fpr them , arid the rates suffered an abatement of quite 4 d per 8 lb ; the very highest figure obtained lor the best Downs out of their wool , they being mostly all shorn , was 4 s 4 d per 81 b . From the Isle of Wight , 280 lambs came io hand by rail " way . The lamb trade washeavy , at an abateraeufc of quite 4 i per 8 lb . '
