In the last number oi the . >'/«< appeared a report of the great aggregate meetinc of die . l ^ uilding Trades . We understand that the resolutions passed at that meeting have been nob | v . responded to bv the Trades , and the

      consequence has been , that at the New Roval Theatre in course of erection in Peter-street in Manchester , for which Messrs . Pauling and Co . have contracted , instead of about 200 men Iwing at work , there has only been two bricklayers and four labourers on the premises for some days past . We also understand that on Saturday night the whole of the painters in Messrs . Pauling ' s employment struck work ; and further that tlie plumbers and glaziers struck on Monday . The men are in good spirits , and the funds are coming in most abundantly .

P . Roberts , Kstj . l ) urinu the past week Mr . Robeils ha- , done more towards bringing masters , magistrate ? ., and lawyoi-s to their senses , ' than ever was accomplished before , Tilt ' tU > t « i . « e to which we call the attention of our readers , Mas heard at . the Borough Court , Manchester , on Friday last , before D . Maude , Esq . Messrs . Pauling , llenfrey , and Co . brought up three men , named Whielding , Sinter , and Read , for breach of contract ; Mr . Rutter appearing for the prosecution , and W . P . Roberts , Esq ., for the defence . Mi " . Rutter , in

      opening the case , said , that the defendants had made a contract with Richard Clark Pauling ami Co ., which contract they had not fulfilled . The information was laid in accordance with the 4 th George IV . Mr . Rutter then put in a written document signed by the defendant Read , whose case -was taken first . Mr . Pauling swore to the contract and the signing of the same . The contract , it appeared , was made at Derby ; and the first condition was , that Read should proceed forthwith to their works at Hulme , there to serve them as a good and efficient joiner until the first of May next . At this stage of the proceedings Mr . Roberts said , that before they went any further into the case he had an objection to make . Mr .

      Roberts then pointed out to the Bench that there was not the least affinity betwixt the document now read and the information ; in fact , the contract was one thing and the information totally another . A lonir discussion then took place betwixt Mr . Maude and Mr . Rutter . Mr .-Maiideroiddnotdnveit into Mr . Rotter ' s noddle that his information was good for nothing , notwithstanding Mr . Maude pointed out the objection in so clear a manner that even- one in the Court understood it except Mr . Rutter . However , Mr . Maude finally brought Win to his senses bv stating that the objection of Mr . Roberts , was a fatal one , and therefore it was his duty to stop the case . The Drosecutors then applied for leave to amend their information , which was granted ; and in a short time

      Untitled Article

      the amended information was handed up , when it was found to be worse than the other . They then begged further time , whith was granteii , and the ease will come on again next Friday . On the same clay , Mr . Roberts proceeded to Wigan to attend a ease then before the County magistrates ,, which aro ^ e out ot the following circumstance . —According to the constitution of the Minei-s' . \ s-Micj . ition , all workmen engaged about the pits are at liberty to become members ; this being the case , many engineers have joined the association . A > lu > i 1 tiine ; igo , a vomit : i-. ian . : > . i engineer , empjoved at ; i colliery in Pembertou , n < -ar Wigan . joined the association . iTliis no Midner came to the knowledge of the Coal Kit : ;; than be was discharged , and ' a " . Johnnv Whaiii-tr .-iw " was put into

      tlie situation , who knvw nothing of the business . In the morning , win ji the men went to work , arid found they had to trust their lives in the liands . of tlii * inexperienced man , they refused to venture down the shaft , unless a proper engineer fats engaged . " Oh !" says Johnny , " in order to prove my efliciciK-y , I will wind the empty tubs up and down , " and accordingly he did so ; but in so doing he pulled the tub into the gearings , which would have caused certain death it any person had been in the tub at the time . Notwithstanding this , tlie tender-hearted Coal King would find no better man . The , men , therefore , would not go down the pit to work ; the consequence was , that tht » Coal Kimj I took out warrants atrJlinstt the men for leaving 'Work without notieo .

      this case was brought before the County magistrates about three weeks ' ago , when Mr . Ackerley appeared for the masters and Mr . Scott for the men ; and in ustice to Mr . Scott , we must say that he defended vhe men honestly . After a lengthy and patient intestigation , the magistrates decided that the Coal King should pay the expenses , and find a proper engineer ; and that the men should give 14 nays' notice . The men acted upon this , nnd went to their work : but the master still refused to find them another engineer , and the men consequently would not work . When the notice was up . they { took out . summonses for their wages ; and this was the case brought before the same bench of inagistrates-on Friday last . Mr . Roberts appeared for the men , and Mr , Ackerley for the masters . Mr . Roberts opened the case , and called witnesses to prove that the men hail acted in accordance with the instructions of the magistrates , but that the master had not . ; The defence set up

      was , that there was no contract between the master and the men . for cither party ito give notice . This trial lasted iive hours and a quarter . At the close ot tin * ease the magistrates decided thai the master should pay the man £ - for his wanes ; nnd had it not been for some little mistake which he had made himself , they would have ordered tjie master to ha \ e paid him the full amount claimed , namely , " . £ 2 l . ., or 5 s . per day , for him and his drawer . There were two other similar cases , but the hour being far advanced tliey were adjourned until Thursday . Oit Saturday Mr . Roberts appeared ( o prosOeute xonie of Mes < r ,. Paulina , llenfrey , : md Co . ' s knobstick * , and one oi tin' foremen , for assault * committed by them . In one cf . M- they cliti red tile llnttsi ! of a Mr .

      SHEFFIELD . ( To Journeymen ^ Tuilvrs . ) * Tailors * Strike . —Fellow ^ Vorknien , we earnestly solicit your attention and assistance to your brethren of Sheffield , who have been on strike , against an attempted reduction in waffe . s oji the part of four employers of that town . They have been out upwards of three months ; and those | n employ are contributing eighteen pence per week out of their weekly earnings , which do not exceed eight shillings per week : in addition * to which [ a misfortune has befel them , by their late secretary absconding with sums of money sent by other societies , as well a . * , incurring a debt of sixty pounds to the , landlord of the house where the society meets . Notwithstanding these discouraging circumstances the ' men are determined to stand out . ' / 'he strike has assumed a rather novel

      aspect : the einployei-s declaring that they will not employ men beloniring to any society : thus endeavourinu to destroy the only nica ' is whereby we arc enabled to protect our labour . A little assistance from every society will place the Sheffield men in : i secure po .-itioti : there ! , •»•« si-iid innm-dintc help . Let not this , 'i | ipc ; il be niaile in vain . It is your c .-iuse : is well as thch-s . Let them fall , and you wilj tall a No . A small sittii ( Voni- each is all tliat is . required . Any amount you may wish to advance , forward to Mr .

      BRADFORD . The Wool-Oomukrs . —Several of the wool-comlwrs ' employei"s are reducing the wages of tiie men in their employ . In many instances ? , where a direct reduction is not made in the wages , the sorts are altered , and the operative has to comb wool one-penny or three-halfpence per pound lehs . A great number ot power looms are standing still , and hundreds of woolcombers are on short time . :

      1 IEYW 00 D . A discussion took place in the Chartist-room , on Sunday evening last , on the : best means to be adopted to maintain or advance thp present rate of wages . The general feeling of the meetine was manifestly in favour of a National Trades' Union , and it was resolved to hold a meeting in the above room on Saturday evening- next , for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of the various trades uniting to cam- out this object .

      ST . HELEN'S . The Mixehs of St . Helen ' s District wish to acquaint ti . e miners of Lancashire that , as the coal masters in various parts of the county are telling their men if they stand out that they ( the masters ) can have plenty of men from ; St . Helen ' s to take their places . We beg to acquaint our brethren that , will take no man ' s place . I The miners need not Fear for the men of St . Helen ' s ;{ they have been punished bv their tyrannical masters , but the men out of employment will suffer death ! before they will deprive any man ef his just rigliita .

      BARKING , ESSEX . Strike of the Barking Fishebjien . —N ' c ^ fewer than sixty fishing siniicUs , K-lonping to Barking , in Essex , are at this moment kinj ; in the River , a little below Woolwich , tlieir crews having brought them home from sea , and struck work . As the RurkinK fishery has Ions been one of the principal sources of supply to the l > illing ? gate Market , a few particulars respecting its present condition , and the allejreil i-. iuses of the strlike , may not be unaccept able to our renders . The total number of smacks beloiiffin ? to liarkitip , thonirh nominally sailing from the port of . T . oihIoii . is about one hundred and sixty . These are vvet-bof r . iijii il vessel-, y ; , ncrnfly of from fifty tu sixty tons , and cairviii ; , ' each three mci , besides the captain , : m < l al'out the sani-- number of' apiirentices . Their

      in-meip . il h-hinsr trrouniu are oS" tin- Coast of Holland , and duriirir the cod season , in the North st-a and about the trkii' -v Ijlmds . In tin- siiTiimer and autumn it is not ui . ii-i .. tl Vor iii . siiy -if tliem to » oi-k out of Harwich , I <• ¦ ¦ ' ¦ -ti'il , oi- * Y ; 'iiiti ' ' . ith , on the eastern coast . The kind of ri-h the \ are employed in catching varies with the se-i ~ oii ! . iiid locality : ir is mo-th cml , « ole . haddock , or plaice . A smack ' s ear ^ o commonly contains more tlian one .. if these varieties . The duration of the vovajre is also Mibji-cr to a c"HTcsj ) on < linjr variation from the same circumstances . Win-re several smnck ? arc the property of a -iufjlt- owner , or of tno ur three in the same family , tht '\ are generully worked in fleets of from fifteen to fliirfy sai ) . eae / i smack in its turn bringi ' iif ? to market the tish euuijrht h \ the whole fleet . In this way a large fleet

      i .- enabled to keep up a regular and constant supply : thus a fair average of the market is secured , and the time of absence from home rendered less variable and uncertain . Frequently , however , the smacks only come up the river as far as Gravesend , and having disbarged their cargo of lish into tlie hatch-boats that ply between that place and the London market , they take in fresh provisions and return to sea . This is called making a " Gravesend voyage . " It tends to keep the men longer from their hollies and families '; but effects a great saving of time to the owners . Formerly these Gravesend voyages were not so common as they are at present ; and the men generally found means to get home on the average once a month . Hut to meet the increased competition that the supply of fish Ky railway has introduced , the owners have made

      them more frequent , till the usual time of absence has increased to six or eight weeks , and often more . One exteiisivL' proprietor , the owner of about 50 vessels , has also for the last * ear employed a very fast sailing cutter to earn , provisions to his smacks , and these of the numerous .-mall owners who are his dependents , and to bring their tisli back to meet the boats tit Gravesend . By this means the crcus of more than half the smacks belonging to the fi / aee h . 'ti ¦

      to take an additional hand in each vessel , to prevent any being thrown out of berth , should the men ' s demands not be acceded to . The apprentices , of whom more than two hundred are already on shore , will , of course , be thrown upon their masters' hands . The demands of the men are for increased wages and shorter voyages . The present rate ' of wages is , men fourteen shillings a week , and mates sixteen . They want this to be advanced two shillings in each case , and the time of absence to be limited tu one month . The majority of the owners seem inclined to grant them this , but others are averse to all concession . The general opinion , however , is , that " the oivncrs-must give in . '' The reasons assigned are , Chat this is tins most profitable paH of the year , that " hands" are in the strike , and that the men of other places are not suited to the particular kind of fishery in which the inhabitants of Barking are engaged . One thing is certain , that if the strike continues long the loss to large owners will be very great .

      Meeting of Mechanics , Millwrights , &c , Oldham . — On Monday afternoon , an unusually well-attended meeting of the mechanics , millwrights , engine makers , moulders , and smiths of Oldham and the neighbourhood , was held in the Hall of Science , Horsedge-street , for the purpose of taking into consideration certain affairs connected with tho . se Trades . Mr . Robert Robinson , from Manchester , was called to the chair . He remarked that it was evident , from what had been done in Oldham and other towns , that , the masters were making an attempt to crush the rights of industry ; and it behoved the five trades who had been called together on this occasion to bestir themselves to put an end to the grievances they were labouring under . Their employers , in discharging the men with " quittance naiiers , " which prevented their getting employment

      elsewhere , except under certain conditions , had in view to compel the operatiiev to stop in a particular locality , and also tii prevent their getting higher wages . The unjust regulation he had pointed out wa- what they chitflv complained of at present ; for on any one leaving a shop he must have a quittance paper , on which was stated the af-. ount ol ' . wuges he had received , the cause of his dischargc , nnd full particulars about film ; and if the man l . tnl . iei ' i » n acrount-of lowness of wages , there was HO ""'¦ K f < ir him ; for these associated masters had checkbook-, ^ civ in , ' particulars a , s to the characters of all their hands . Mr . Taylor moved a resolution , to the effect that a protective and friendly society or association of the mechanics , millwrights , eivgineei-s . moulders , and smiths , should be formed forthwith . Mr . Toole , from Manchester

      seconded the motion . —After one or two otitt-r addresses , Mr . . lolm David lioyd , of Manchester , said hv was of opMii . in that the intended association would plhf-e til' * pei-atives in the proud position they were entitled to hold As soon as a prosperous period had occurred in trade , most of their employers united together to deprive them of the only legitimate right they yet possessed , the right to sell their labour in the best market . The practice of giving quittance papers , was obnoxious in the extreme , and a violation of all just principle : for , even Jvhen the masters were wanting men , the statements in the quittance papers would prevent many of them from being employed ; and , as long as there was any surplus of bands , the hands who had quittance papers must go to the wall . The consequences of such conduct , if not resisted , would be ruinous to the operatives ; and he believed there would be no satisfactory condition for the artisan until th ere was a fixed minimum of wages adopted . He thought there ought to be a certain fixed rate of wages , below

      which no man should be allowed to work -, and if any workman had any superior skill , he would be surej after all , to make his way . —A resolution , moved by Mr , Lee , and seconded by a workman named Lowe , expressed tho objects of the intended society , namely , that they should , be to protect the interests and privileges of the associated trades , and to resist all invasions of their rights . A resolution pledging the meeting to raise a fund for the purposes of the united trades , by the payment by each member of three shillings as entrance money , and a subscription of sixpence per week , except for such weeksas he was sick or out of work , was moved by Mr . Charles . Oldfield , and seconded by Mr . William West . — The chairman stated that about 1 , 400 of the five associated trades had already joined the union in Manchester , and they had a fund of about £ 300 now in hand . —Several other resola , tions relatii-e to the regulations which should govern the united trades engaged the meeting for some time . All the resolutions were unanimously passed , accompanied by marks of hearty approbation .
