  IMPORTANT MKETIM ! OF TRAUK . V IiKLEliATES AT M 1 HFFIHL 1 ) . f ) n V > Ydm' *( lay pvi-ninj ; , Nov . "iittb , a numerous nicetim : of tldc ^ atcs tVoiu the Nhetliohl trades was held al the Lomion 'I ' rentice , to eonsi < ler the j > rot-iHHlintrs of the mcrtinn of merchants ami jna-mifacturei-s . held in tliu Cutlers- ' -hall . - Mr . Stones took tin- chair . The Chairman would not offer any excuse for Ills incapacity , but wuultl endeavour to sum them na well , as lu * could . The subject was of vital importance . Every well-thinking man was calk-d on to jila . ee himself riidit before the public After the calumnies heaped on tliem by the inaiiiifafturei-s , it was the duty of every member of a Trades' I'iiioii to utter his sentiments .
  
  Mr . 1 hos . Booth said , that the working classes had been abused , slandered , belio < i , and ill-tr « ited last week ' s papers testified . The masters had departed from tlie subject they announced in their placard , and had turned upon the working classes , that they might act with them as thev had done before , deprive them of their rights , and reduce , them to degradation , misery , and pauperism . One gentleman said that " Sheffield was a doomed city . " If it was doomed , as many ancient cities had been , to desolation , he hoped , before it fell ,, the working classes would erect some monument to be read b y a future Hunter , to commemorate that the working classes were steadfast in the cause of humanity , and demanded their just rights . It appeared the
  
  gentlemen met on the sublet oi' protecting hie and property , but they turned from that subject to the means of reducing the working classes again to that state of misery and vassalage ot which they could not think without horror . They offered no proof tliat the Trades' Unions had destroyed one particle of the trade , or that any committee had been accessory to any crimes agjiiust life or property . No such proof was pretended to be adduced , and there never had been of a recent date any proofs that could connect committees with such attempts . The objects of the masters wen : first to slander , and , if possible , next to form an association to destroy the unions , however justly and righteously conducted . It was to be no consideration whether they were well
  
  or ill-managed . - \ o suggestions were offered for their better management , ill-ear , hear . ) Mr . Jbbotson and others had said the trades were managed by committees , but none said whence those committees came . Tln >> did not sav thai the commit tt'CS were chosen by tlu > niwjita'iN of the trades , every man having a voice , and that in what the committees did , they merely carried out the resolutions oi tin ; body . ( Hear , hear . > These gentlemen forgot that they were about to act on the same principle them-.-elves . They had seen what sort of wages the masters allowed them , what hours they worked them , and how they ' made use of the sruurilians to drive them back upon such masters as Mr . lbbotson , that the poor wretches might supplicate him for leave to live at all .
  
  He might be a friend to unions , hut it was Poor Law Unions ; not to unions that enabled men to say , wo will have so much waire , 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 watre .- ' - (< "hwrs . ) It ^^ a * the unemployed surplus that enabled niastei'sTo bring down wages to the starvation point , lie had read a small pamphlet , from the Edinburgh Ifevirw , 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 , Hot ) men were employed , and 50 men unemployed , it was those 50 who would reduce the rate of wages . If the men had been
  
  gettin g 25 s . a week , the 50 unemployed would ofter to work for 20 s ., thus displacing the other 50 , and gradually bringing down the wages of the whole . It was not 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 , and left no 50 to receive wages . Let them remember , that the treatment ot" the pauper was so cruel , that they , revolted in the streets . Let them never attain forsake the muse of humanity , and allow men to be tin-own in such numbers 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 . Sir Robert Peel advised , some time ^ ago , that they should take , their own affairs into their own hands .
  
  [( heers . i If Parliament would not pass short-time bills—and he deplored it much—let them who were adult do it tor themselves , and the children who worked under them . ( Cheers . ) The masters had always attempted to take undue advantage of the men who confided in them . There never yet was a Trades ' Union 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 . There was division among the masters now , and ii
  
  any 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 opt the work they had so 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 . Sorely , then , those ¦ who -worked nine hours did their full B&are , and any who worked less than two hoars did not do their share . He concluded by moving—'' That this meeting is of opinion that the arguments advanced by the

  merchants and manufacturers , at their meeting , at the Cutler ' s Hall , on the I 3 th inst ., was in a greal measure at variance , as respects the legitimate objects the meeting was called for , viz ., the better protection oflife and property ; that while the present meeting approve of every effort that can be made to render the above more secure , it deprecates , in the strongest terms , the illberal and ungeuierous attacks that have been made against associations of workmen ; and this meeting is further of opinion , that the best means ol 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 . John Duury seconded the motion . One object in calling this meeting was similar to the
  
  avowed object ot the late meeting at the Cutlers ' Hall—to coalesce for the better defence of life and property . There were plenty of moral means to punish men who were inimical to the best interests of the trade , without coercing persons or destroying property . This had been his opinion for some time ° ; and had the manufacturers confined themselves to their legitimate object , he should have applauded their conduct . But when he saw their requisition , he suspected they had other objects , and that , under pretence of protecting life and property , they insidiously designed to attack the Trades' Unions . W they broke up the unions , what equivalent had the manufacturers to give ? ( 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 hafters , the fork-makers and grinders , who were disorganised i 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 SUt'h scenes would soon be seen again . At the Town Hall Mr . H > l > otson had said that he had no contentions with his own men ; that he
  
  treated them as . a lather , and they liked him . He must have a very bad memory , for he had a controversy with certain trades al > out twelve months ago , when they had some very serious complaints against him . ( Hear , hear . ) He stated that , for nine months , when he had no orders , he employed "ioo men . Those who knew Mr . lbbotson , and could swallow that statenient , had surely no right to treat Jack the ( -riant-Killer , or Sinbad the Sailor , as at all fabulous . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Sorby , too , with a good deal of egotism , ( wasted of his liberality ; but a friend had put him in possession of a statement at which he was not a littln 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 water power , hi consequence of this worse than treadmill labour , the individual w , xs 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 , hi » wages were lbs . a week . Other circumstances went to show that the greater part of the men in a certain trade did not get more than 16 s . a week , while other employers , who did not go to the Cutlers ' Hall to boast of their liberality , were ' paying 21 s . This statenient shewed how 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 ti-y to employ them well , and there was no better mode than agrieulture . ( Loud cheers . ) The thing had often been mooted and lost sight of , but he trusted the trade * 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 sorrv he was placed in the chair , for he represented a trade , the saw-maker * , which hud received such insults from the manufacturers as few othfi's had done . The tcronter part of the statements of the manufacturers were palp ; il » le falsehoods . They shewed that the working elates must protect themselves better for the future . Labour was the source of all wealth . It enabled the manufacturers to build psilaces fin- them .-elvcs t < p make themselves comfortable , and to send their clerks to the Isle of Man . Minht it not enable \\> v men to build themselves workshops , as well as they wi re built for them , and place themselves in a position they were little aware of ' . Mr . -Hroadliiirst u ; is sorry that a resolution of the manufacturers had not been carried out . That resolution shewed what thev
  
  had to expect if they were guided by the rules ol the masters , and in what position they and thcii children should be placed . The masters had Imvm disappointed in the effect of their rule , and now «'; uit < - u !< l employ him . There was philosophy ' , i Hear , hear . ) Mr . Wj ] , ki . nso . v , table-knife hai ' ter , wild thin was a meeting of much importance . It was necessary the public should know more than the manufacturers had 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 ( utlers Hall . He was sorry llw maiunaoturers 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 . Hut , in talking on this subject , they indulged the spirit they deprecated , and their object appeared to crush , in even illegal and unconstitutional way , the Unions they complained of . They recommended nothing , but talked about closing their manufactories , and being able to say they had broken up the Unions . This spirit was a bad one , and was likely to produce a degree of antagonism farmore hurtful to the town than the Trades' Unions . They had heard of Earl KitzwiJIiam , after hearing the statenient of only one side , state
  
  that the manufacturers of Sheffield had been compelled to refuse to an order that had been offered , because the men had struck , and the order had been sent to the continent . This was an order that would have come to his branch of the hafters , for it was a table-knife order for Mr . Muntz . This tale had been n ^ eated in the House of Commons and in the press , and had done harm , But it would have a contrary effect when the facts were explained . At the time of that order the hatters were working at a price the manufiicturcrs had agreed to . The price had been fixed oil a reeoneiliatory principle . The masters thought it little enough , and had promised that , in three months , there should be another advance . The forgers also h ; ul submitted to the wa-es which the masters had agreed 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 !> e done at pr ices which the mauufactm-ei-s 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 hafu . ' 1-x and forgers . It was said that the order was taken to ( . iemiany , but let it be known that it came back again , and the goods were hafted in Sheffield . ( Cheers . ) The statement which had U > en made should Ikj exploded . Mi . ] HiniY said , it had l > mi done in their reply to Earl Fitzwilliam .
  
  Mr . Wilrinso . n : The manufacturers told them that they did not object to the prices , hut to their Unions . But if asked whether they could have the prices without the Unions , they answered they eonld 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 went the statement that thev did nut object to the prices . Their scheme was to break down the Unions , not by right , but by power . They complained of the restrictions . These were an important feature in Trades' Unions , The men did not consider it sufficient to arrange , for a certain price . But regulations were needed to protect that price in perpetuity . They had , therefore ,
  
  introduced the regulations ot the ten-hours bill , lhis was complained ot \ They were told that trade could not he regulated by hours—that ships could not wait on their hours—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 haf ' ter inigrht work ten hours , and was not allowed to do more . Hut 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 l /> 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 lo 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 beat the hatters , 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 complaining of 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 their ; trade . The factors , who had no sympathy with the men , kept back the orders to the last moment , and kept sending round to the small masters to see how low they could get the goods . At last they threw out a great quantity of orders . The men were urged to the utmost . They had to procure assistance . Men from the parish wqre get on , and

  t » y a p ' eat exertion , as many gooils were got up ii three months as now required six . This had beei : going on for years , and so low were the wages , thai many men , having their wives and children work ing , gotino more than 13 s . or 14 s . a week , and ye 1 the menjwere so much worn out on a Saturday night , having got up as many goods in a , week as they ough . 1 to do in la fortnight , that they could scarcely craw ! home . [ This could not be done now . The regulatior he had described prevented it , and caused a more regular trade . Mr . Shaw , fender-maker , said their trade had n connexion in London , and throughout England and Scotland . They had a box all the way through England , and they could stop the supplies to their mastersJas they had done , while they had friends
  
  who could furnish supplies to them . Tliey were not conquered so soon as many might think . ( Cheers . ) ' A Representative of the Eip uNiF-E 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 on all the principal manufacturers , and he would give some account of their views . The object of hiis mission was to see if they would co-operate in raising the men from the degraded state in which they were placed . 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 spoilsmen hands , as he cajled them , became old men , haying to toil many hours , and receive but a small pittance . It that wasithe case then , how much worse had it been since ? There were articles for which Mr . Rodgers had beenjpaying 24 s . per dozen making , which small manufactitrei's were making , with a deal of work , but not a useful article , at ( is . 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 respectable ] 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 , ami subscribed two guineas .
  
  Mr . WostenhoJme was in America , but his foreman pave them every cncouniseiiHirt . They went to another manufacturer , who looUt-d 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 ; for he did not know what to do . The sight of that man so took away his spirits , that he could " 0 no further that day . The next day they went to Mr . Rowbothani , who was willing to do all he , could in encouraging his men t * i join the union . Some talked of wishing to crush the unions : but if it were done , in a few month * there would be Scarcely a . manufaetuivi of table-knives or penknives ; left . All things would be turned round , lie did not know what to think of men ' who talked of crashing the unions . He knew men who at present
  
  prices could earn only Ss . or 10 s . a week , and yet were paying 1 s . ja 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 < t young woman who had a sweetheart . Her mother asked her , " What trade is thy voting man ?" " A tine penknife cutler , mother . "' " rYy'thee , lass , don ' t have him ; thou'lt have nowt but poverty . " " Well , what trade must I have , mother , i" This set the mothOr 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 . ) :
  
  Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said ttiat lately the table-knife manufacturers and hafters met , when the chairman of the meeting at the Cutlers' Hall was one of them . He said he Imped the union would secure regular prices , for the factors could buy cheaper than theyicould manufacture , and he hoped the regulation of jirices would enable him to manufacture airain . From time to time , since then , he had lx-en supplied with hand ' s , llis trade had extcndVd , but he . manufactured more and bought loss . Therefore , " it was plain his objection to the Union was groundle- " » . The manufacturers , on the comnieifcf rnent of their Union , eniui ' ibi : ted £ 17 " , to assist them in orirani ^ iritr , and to regulate prices . Kiirhtecn months ago , there ; were upon the parish books one-third of the aMi ' -liodicd men in their trade . At this tune there wasjnot uric . Th ' . ' . v pun ! a deal of nv . ru'y every Saturday j-. i ^ ul t <> th < - nun out of •• midoy , which prevented heavy rates , and saved the men from the l < worhnuse ' . Surelv thi- was a ' great benefit .
  
  Mr . ll . xrox , table-knife tore . ,-, said he liked to be paid for what he did , and to encourage the same spirit in others . He trusted that the spirit they had shown would hu \ e a good influence , hi depressed trade , the masters stinted the men . The men saw it suiter ) the masteix , and they had tried it t ' of themselves . Tjhey fvnind that it needed no more tvudc than theyjhad had to maintain the men as they were iimintnmtAl now . TIk- iiien fi : ul a 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 amoii ; , ' them to work . it with fidelity . They wero now ; comparatively comfortable , hut 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 . He urged thisiwas a matter of interest—their own interest . If a foreign foe threatened , the country would callion every Englishman , to do his duty . And should not * their personal interest stimulate tliem as much a . s that of the public t 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 this that they thought and studied , that they read \ the papers , and watched the course of
  
  events . They wanted to restore a better state of things than that men should work long hours for nothing . If the men were adequately paid , would they allow women and children before they had learned to tread , to goto the workshops ' In that case , should they see the masters resort to such dastardly means a . s " this association to protect life and { i ropcity , and the bad feeling of the town increased > y the declarations of some of the masters . - If we get you down , we'll screw you worse than you ever have been . ; ( Hear , hear . I Let them remember the Masters aiid Servants' Hill of last session , by which men niitrlifj have been brought before the magistrates for anything or nothing . ( Cheers . ) If such a bill had passed , they might soon have seen th ' e time when the people would be as subservient as of old .
  
  The resolution was then jmt to the Vote , and carried unanimouslv . Mr . Joseph Wilkinson , of the file trade , rw to propose the second resolution . He thought enousrh liad l > een said to convir . ee any reasonable men of the musters" error , and to shew them that Trades ' Unions were not the evil they spoke of . Shor t time was said to be a great evil—he thought it a great good . Hejquotcd from Wml / f Hi-tom of tin : Middle and M \ , rk-in-i ' . 'law .- -, an illustration similar to that quiitcd by Mr . Ijnofh , to shew . that it wits the unemployed portion of any trade who reducerl its wages . The masters might give over manufa ^ tur ! : ;;; , and live on their capital , and they ( the workmen ) claimed the same riirht . I Hear , hear . ) What master had a
  
  right to say he must work fourteen hours a day , when his h ' ealth and comfort told him lft hours were enough ' . ^ Besides , there was his neighbour , who , if he and others worked 11 hours , must < ro without ; he , too , ifi they worked moderate hours , would have a share . But the masters would remove their capital : Whej-c to ' . To America ( The Americans would dictate to them more than the English , and besides would call the LW , and not master . ( Laughter . ) Where would they make good * cheaper than in England i Cobbett said Kngland was the cheapest lajbuur-market in the world . He believed it was . Where but in Kngland would they get a giuss of scissors ; ground for Is . < Yet here the scissors were manufactured and sold , material and all ,
  
  for :. '* . ad . : All the casting , grinding , { Hitting 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 . ) IHit they were told they had no right to dictate to their fellow-wovkmen on what terms they [ should sell their labour . He held that they had . that right . lie would suppose a case . Take him to be a . single man , able to do as much work as any man in ' the trade . Hi * fellow-workman had a wife and three children . Their master I * ad work enough for only one . They were paid , say one . shilling a dozen . Now , should he say to the master—If you willigive me all the work , 1 will do it at 8 d . The married 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 ., ami if lie did not do it , he should be a rogue . He met his own master one day—a man who was always willing to pav the price , though he very probably required a shilling ' s worth for 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 i Look at so and so ; maKe them pay the price . That was what they were aiming to ! do . The men who wanted to crush the Unions were those who wanted to get rich in a few
  
  years ; the ; bold speculators , who had several sons , and must have a fortune for each , an 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 would 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 , " I have beat my men single-handed . " ( Laughter . ) When the people were 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 to pay yet , " ( Laughter . ) And so he said to the gentlemen who made this boast , He had a reso

He moved— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a public meeting of the inhabitant of this town be convened as early as possible , and a * invitation sent to the party who met at the Cutlers ' Hall , to discuss certain propositions —( Hear , hear . )«» which will be submitted to them throajsjli the median of the public press . " ( Cheers . ) He teliered th « challenge would not be met . He believed the ma * nufacturers hated the light—they knew wh y . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Taylok , 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 din > ing the last seven years shewed that they could not always get bread by that means . ¦
  
  Mr . Wilkisson 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 auy thing to make him an . oomfortable . But at night , when the time to leav » work arrived , let the eleven quietly pat their coats on , and leave him alone , and they might rely upon it he would not stand it long , but would cease to be a knobstick , and become a good man . He had long taken in and admired Chamber ' s Journal ; but Chambers was now publishing a series of tracts , and one was on "The Employers and the Employed . " \ % 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 earned .
  
  Mr . Geo . Gallimore said , it 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 Jin attack as the speecheg . 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 proceedings were not duly reported , and till they had a press of their own , things would be no better . Things were strangled year after year by editors , who turned everything to suit their party . The press atetted the tyranny that was brinfrinff the working classes to starvation . Mr . T . Booth moved , that a committee of geveu be named , to prepare the propositions for discussion , to fix the time of the meeting , and to invite the masters to attend . Mr . I ) im-rv seconded the motion .
  
  An amendment was proposed to substitute uine for seven . The mover assented to the change , and the motion was carried . The Committee was nominated as follows : —Messrs TliomaK Booth , John Drury , Stones , W . Hi-ftadheaJ , Buxton , B . Littlewood , John Taylor , G . Wilkinson , and W . Pryor . —Carried unanimously . Mr . Dritiy then read the following letter from Mr . Dunconibe : — The Albany , Nov . l « th . 1844 .
  
  Dear Pib , — On mj return to town , I found jour note , accoinpanied by the Pamphlet containing your reply to the speech recently delivered by Lord Fitzwilliam at the Cutlers' Feast , ami which , according to your request , I have perused with great attention , and think that it contains much valuable information , and is written with great ability . It will require , in my opinion , stronger arguments than Lord Fitzwilliam lias adduced , to induce the Legislature to suppress Trades' Unions . There can be no doubt that the Masters' and Servants' Bi 51 of last session was an inshtidus attempt at that object by Sir J . Graham , I do not think it was brought in with that view , but he seized the opportunity of converting it to that purpose , ¦ wishing- to direct it more especially , I believe , at that time , to the pitineu in the north . I should not be Surprised if sonii : fresh tittempt were made next year ; but you , and all my kind friendc 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 classea .
  
  I am , dear Sir , yours faithfully , * THOS . S . BLNCOMBB . Mr . W . Broadhead moved a vote of thanks to tht Chairman , which was carried , and the meeting broke ui > after ! 1 o ' clock .

  ¦ I . eitirk on Trades' Uxiovs . — On Sunday evening Mr . West delivered a lecture to the trades on "Trades' 1 ' nions , and their duty at the present crisis . '' The large room , Fig-tree-lane , was crowded to excess . At half-past six o ' clock Mr . Morton Hoyston was called to the chair , who in a very appropriate Ufkhvss introduced Mr . West to the-meeting .
  
  ; Mr . West , in a masterly address , winch occupied i nearly two hours in the delivery , traced the cause , origin , and progress of trades' unions , the history- of I strikes , and the causes of their failure . He then i pointed out the necessity of a consolidation of all ' trades iii the country for mutual protection . He I shewed minutely the advantages to the various trades j by investing their funds in the purchase of land , to i employ their hands either in slack trade or when ; they were on strike . At the close of Mr . West ' s ad' dress a person named . Cliffe made some remarks respecting the Corn Laws , and the doings of "Swing " ( in the airrii altural districts , which , he said , -was doing moiv to bring the aristocracy to their genses i than all the progress and intelligence of the
  
  workingclasses . Mr . West replied satisfactorily on the question of the Com Laws , and showed clearly that it was the progress of mind among the masses that the oppressors , both manufacturing and agricul tural , dreaded most . Mr . G . Gooke 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 . As a great numher of the trades' delegates were present , he would like to know if they weiv prepared with any plans to carry out the very excellent recommendations of Mi * . West . Mr * Booth , metal smith , said the trades' delegates were purely administrative , not executive ; they acted on the bvoad 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 . He then shewed , with great clearness , the superiority of the land over manufactures , 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 » many more very excellent observations , Mr . Booth sat down amid universal applause . There were then loud cnlls tor Mr . John Drury , the respected and indefatiga-ble secretary of the United Grinders . Mr . Drury . came forward , and , after complimenting Air . \ Ve « t on his able lecture , took a review of the ol jons of the masters to Trades' Unions , exhibith the silliness of those objections in a masterly style . ¦
  
  I' ¦ next referred to the fact of the masters wiuV ( rawing their support from the Mechanics' Institution , because , as they said , there were Trades' Unions in the town ; a proof that they dreaded the progress of knowledge among the working classes . But they were too late ; the multitude had become enlightened ; their motto must now be " onward" until they achieved labour's honest triumph , and secured equality and justice to nil . Mr . Drury sat down loudly cheered . Mr . Gallimore , razor-grinder , stated that he fU happy to inform the trades present , that it was the intent ion of the working classes of Sheffield to purchase for Mr . Drury a life annuity , in testimony of his valuable services , and to place him beyond the persecuting grasp of tyrants ; this announcement was received with great cheering . After a vote of thanks to the Lecturer iir . rl Chairman , this gtesi meetine . the most important ovev held in the ChaiUs room , broke up shortl y after ten o ' clock .
