¦ Police. Richmond. — Riot And Assault. ...
¦ police . RICHMOND . — Riot and Assault . — Samuel Martin , a pugilist ; James Wilson , a licensed victualler at 49 , Paul-street , Pinshury ; and Thomas Ballard , were charged with having violently assaulted several of the messengers of the Court of Bankruptcy ; and a further charge was made against Philip Salter , a farm servant , for assaulting the police . —Mr . Jones said he represented the assignees of Mr . Hugh Swan , of Hanway-street , Oxford-street , laccman , who became bankrupt in April last ; a fiat was issued accordingly , aud trade assignees appointed , under whose direction a farm atMortlake , beloBBins to the bankrunt wassmmd . nnA two men
placed in possession . On Monday a sale was announced , hut bills had been posted , cautioning the public against buying , as the sale was illegal , and would he resisted . At the hour of sale a fly and a chaise-cart , laden with ruffians , armed with bludgeons , arrived , and were dispersed in different parts of the farm . The auctioneer attended at the appointed time , accompanied by two bankruptcy messengers , and mounted a chair for the purpose of putting off the sale sine die , when a man , named David Wilson , accompanied by about thirty men armed with bludgeons , made a general attack upon the messengers and auctioneer ' s men , who were
driven off the farm , and the premises barricaded . — Mr . Price raised an objection . to the jurisdiction of the magistrates , inasmuch as there was a disputed title to the land ; and he further contended that the bankruptcy messengers and other parties seizing on the estate were trespassers . —The Bench decided on hearing the evidence , and several witnesses having been examined , who proved that Wilson and other persons not in custody had been guilty of great violence , Wilson was bound over in his own recognizances of £ 50 , with one surety of £ 50 , to appear at the adjourned sessions in August ; Salter was fined £ 5 for resisting the police , and the two other defendants were discharged .
THAMES . —Murderous Assault . —Silas Frost , a foreign seaman , was charged with cutting and wounding-his wife , Mary Frost . The complainant , coming home from her work on the previous night , found her husband very drunk . She gently expostulated with him , when he took up a china teapot ; capable of holding half a gallon , and dashed it at her head . She fell down senseless from . the blow , and a woman , named St . John , hearing her screams rushed in and found her lying on the floor weltering in her blood , whilst her husband lay near her in drunken insensibility . A constable was called in , and he was given into custody . —The prisoner , in his defence , said his wife , who was always drunk and led him a wretched life , must have injured herself in one of her intemperate moments . —Mr . Ingham said it was a most cruel assault , and ordered the prisoner to find bail to answer the charge at the sessions . '
Jewel Robbebt . —Moses Julins , a carpenter , residing at No . 1 , Bull-court , Petticoat-lane , was charged with stealing a gold bracelet , value £ 1 7 s ., a cameo brooch , value * 2 10 s . ; a pair of gold earrings , value £ 2 10 s . ; and a gold ring , value £ 1 Is ., the property of Major George Wilson , an artist , residing at 38 , Minories . The prisoner was called in to put up a bedstead , and after he had left the property was missed by Mrs . Wilson . It appeared that the prisoner , who was in liquor at the time , pledged the cameo brooch and the ring at a pawnbroker ' s in Spitalfields for 3 s . He then returned to bis job whjeh was unfinished , and , beins ; taxed with the robbery , gave the bracelet to Mrs . Wilson , and threw some of the articles away . Another portion of the plunder was found in the area of an empty house adjoining his residence . He was fully committed for trial .
Outrage bt a Cabman . —C . Hindmarsh , a cabdriver , was charged with assaulting Mr . Wni . Vann , a carcase-butcher in Norton Folgate , under the following circumstances . It appeared from the evidence of the complainant and other witnesses , that on the afternoon of Tuesday week the coachman of Mr . Longman , the publisher , was driving two ladies in his master ' s carriage from the Shoredlteh station of the Eastern Counties' Railway , and had just turned into Worship-street , when he observed a cab , driven by the defendant , approaching at a rapid pace from the opposite direction , and to avoid a collision , which appeared inevitable lrom the narrowness of the thoroughfare , he stopped his horses , and drew close up to the edge of the kerb . The
defendant , however , came on with unabated speed , and in endeavouring to pass the off-wheel of the cab became looked in the hind wheel of the carriage and stopped his further progress . After an ineffectual effort to force his way on , the defendant hastily dismounted from his box , and seizing the reins of the carriage-horses made a violent attempt to back them into Shoredlteh , hut , failing in his object , ran up to the door of the carriage , and addressing the ladies with an oath demanded to have their card . One of the ladies'replied , that they were not provided with a card , but that their address was Southgate House , Highgate , and requested him to allow them to proceed . He refused to do so , and-after assailing them with the most offensivs . exprcssioiis .
again seized the heads of the horses , and jerked them about with such violence that they plunged and reared , and caused the carriage to oscillate in the most alarming manner . Whilst this was going on , the second lady put her head out of the window and offered the defendant some money to desist , but several persons having called out to her not to submit to extortion , she appealed to them for protection , and the complainant immediately ran forward , and seizing the defendant by the collar , endeavoured to force him away from the horses' heads . The . defendant thereupon commenced such a violent attack upon him that he was compelled to retreat back into his shop , but was instantly followed there by his assailant , who continued abusing him and strikjner him until he was rescued by the bystanders .
—James Harris , Mr . Longman ' s coachman , and two tradesmen named Bromford and Jennings , corroborated the preceding statement in every particular , describing the defendant's conduct as the most reckless and outrageous they had ever witnessed , and expressing an opinion that he was decidedly intoxicated . —Mr . Heritage , who appeared for the defence , addressed the magistrate on behalf ot his client , and called two witnesses , but was unable to elicit anything from them at all material in vindication ef the defendant ' s conduct . —Mr . Hammill said that he considered the defendant had been guilty of a most scandalous outrage , and he should therefore sentence him to pay the full penalty of £ 5 , or in default should commit him for two months to the House of Correction . The penalty not being paid , the defendant was removed in the van .

VICTIMS AND LAWYERS . THE FALL OF ROME . A WORD FOR THE HUNGAUIANS . BltOTHEB PEOLETARIAyS , A few days ago I had the melancholy satisfaction of seeing your persecuted friends—Ernest Jones and Fussell . They had been brought from their prison to the Cit y Guildhall to give evidence in the case of " Macnamara versus O'Connor ;" ' they were , however , not examined . A fraternal recognition passed between us , but I was not allowed to converse
with them j moreover , on requesting permission to be allowed to suppl y them with refreshment , fruit , & c , the boon I solicited was rudely refused . I am happy to say that our brothers appeared to be in good health ; indeed , I have never seen Fussell look so well ; and often have I seen Ernest Jones look worse . Of their present sentiments of course , I cannot speak positively : but if I might judge by the fire of their eyes , and those glances which to me communicated volumes of thought—I could not but conclude that ,
though oppression may have tortured their material frames , it has failed to cow their resolute hearts . The world has already heard something of Ernest Jones , and as I gazed upon his physiognomy , so eloquently expressive of intellect , sincerity , humanity , and heroism , I said to myself , of that man the world will yet hear more than it has heard already . For the people ' s sake , as well as for my friend's sake , I pray for the continued health and strength of , Ernest Jones , that he may be enabled to pass through : the terrible ordeal of the year of suffering yet before him .
On whatever legal grounds the jurors m the case of "MACNAMAHAmmO'CoKNOit " may have thought themselves justified in returning a verdict for the plaintiff , it must have been evident to every unprejudiced person present at the trial , that there were no moral grounds for that verdict . It is only fair to say that Lord Desman ' s '¦ $ summing up" was strictly impartial ; indeed , it was evident that he did not consider Mr . O'Connor liable for the amount claimed by the plaintiff . But , in spite of the impartiality of the Judge , and the able address of tho defendant ' s counsel , the Jury condemned Mr . O'Connor to pay the sum of 101 / . 17 * . 6 rf ., claimed by the plaintiff , with , of course , all the costs of the trial .
Whatever the Jury might know , or might choose to affect ignorance of , you bww that their verdict is a sentence of robbery passed upon Mr . O'Connor . With as much justice might any one of you be condemned to pay the amount claimed by Maonamaka . Mr . O'Connor says he will demand a new trial ; but , in the event of another legal struggle , will he fare better % I doubt it . The bourgeoisie cheered very lustily at the Princess ' s Theatre on
finding that they were to have the support , instead of the opposition , of the Member for Kottin gham ; but how many of the cheerers would acquit him were he in the dock and they in the jury-box ? For myself , I must say , that with all due respect for Parliamentary and Financial Reformers , I have a holy horror of their tender mercies ; and most fervently 1 pray that my friends of the shop may never be called upon to exhibit their loving-kindness towards L'Ami duPeuple .
I need not waste space in reminding you of your duty in the matter under notice . Your own hearts , your own sense of justice , will bid you do your utmost to free Mr . O'Connor from the legal responsibility thrown upon him by the verdict of Monday last . If Mr . O'Connor follows up his announcement of moving for a new trial , it will be your duty to sustain him with pecuniary aid , and should he ultimately be compelled to pay a debt of which , in point of fact , he owes not one farthing , he will be robbed and wronged , and you will be dishonoured if you fail to reimburse him every penny tho force of law , but not of justice , may exact from him .
It appears that Macnamaba's bill , m full , amounted to 316 Z . 17 s . 6 d ., ~ of which he had received 215 / . previous to commencing the late action . I will not dispute that every item in the account is a legal charge ; of that I know nothing—but having a great respect for the law , I will take it for granted that not even a solitary "Gs . 8 d . " is charged illegally ; still 1 should like to know what was done for our friends for the 316 / . 17 * . Gd ., which could not have been as well done for one-fourth or onesixth of the money . You must bear in mind , that Nixon's bill for defending Vernon is
independent of Macnamara ' s account . The Lord save me and mine from lawyers . It is now too late to protest on account of the past , and , as regards the future , I hope that , escaping persecution , the Chartists will have no occasion for the services of the " profession ;" but if , unhappily , persecution should again decimate our ranks , I trust that at least every man who can speak from a platform will do the same from the dock . 1 would not absolutely interdict the employment of lawyers ; I think that , in the case of men who unfortunatel y migbt find themselves in the clutches of the law , and be unable to speak for themselves ,
" legal defence" should be provided for them ; but otherwise each patriot should conduct his own defence . Had Mr . Macnamara ' s clients defended themselves , they could not have been more severely treated than they have been , and some hundreds of pounds would have been saved to sustain and comfort their bereaved families . The cause , too , would have greatly gained b y such a course on the part of the Chartist victims . Even a few words—words of sincerity and feelingfrom the lips of the persecuted patriots themselves , would have told better on the Jury and the public , than the most finished speeches of
paid counsel , " "Who , right or wrong , will advocate for gold !" How much more effective would have been the orations of more than one of Mr . Macnamara ' s clients , who , had they spoken , would have cast into the shade the vaunted " forensic eloquence" of the gents in wigs and gowns For Chartiststo fee and feed lawyers—w hether attorneys or barristers—is a sort of self-stultihcation . Mr . Sergeant Alien , addressing t he jury for the plaintiff , on Monday last , took great pains to show that Mr . MaCKAMABA entertained no sympathy with , and never had had connexion , as a p olitician , with the tharlibelled
tists , whom the " learned gentleman" and sneered at to his heart ' s content ; why ? he was privileged to spealc where no Chartist dared reply . But though no Chartist , Mr . Macnamaiu has no objection to pocket Chartist cash . Like the Roman Emperor , he cares n ot where the money comes from so long as he gets it . Sergean t Alien , too , would at any moment jump at a brief to defend a Chartist , let him only be well paid for it . Faugh ! These lawyers make one ' s gorge rise . Moses showed himseii nut half a conjuror , when be omitted lawyers from the list of plagues , with which he tormented
the Egyptians . ' Rome has fallen ! In vain have her sons poured out their blood and laid down their lives in her defence . Might has conquered Right , and heroic Virtue has fallen beneath ihe blows of triump hant Crime . Yet , glory to Mazzini ! Glory to Garibaidi ! Eternal honour to all the heroes who have dared , done , and—oh > bitter word—fallen in defence of Truth , Justice , Liberty , and the holy cause of Humanity ! . Curses , black and heavy , npon their conquerors j and , oh . I may infamy ,

eternal , twine round the names of Buonaparte and Oudinot The scoundrelly French journals assert the lie that the French wore received with acclamations on the part of the Roman people . Believe them not . It is possible that those universal traitors and cowards , the men of property , - may have applauded the French , either to testify tlieir natural exultation at the ruin of Liberty , or to save their wealth from the clutches of their Gallic " protectors "—probably both motives influenced tho dastards , if there were any such , who cheered the entrance of the French
as-8 ? SS 1 JJ ' s P ossible , too , that a few partisans of the Pope may have rejoiced at the success of that blood-stained hypocrite ' s restorers ; but in spite of all the liars—French and English—take my word for it that the hoary-headed lathers who had seen their sons stretched on the earth by Oudinofc ' s cannon-balls—the wives , the sisters , the lovers , who had seen the objects of their love and affection mowed down by the ' shot and shells of their city ' s enemies , —take my word for it that they , and the thousands of patriots , who for weeks had braved the ftrtillci'y bf the French , did not rejoice at the triumph of their enemies , and the murderers of j . e ufi ™^ t md relatives . Indeed it is very doubtful if the French received anything in . the shape of appkuso ; for I see it stated in this evening a papers that private letters received from Rome at i am state that the French troops were received
with execrations by the people ; and that French soldiers were being stilettoed at a handsome average ? '„ wu 't 0 the k"ifc" is a war not to be des-+ £ „ *! , £ + tne i assassi n-gcneral , Oudinot . is going the right-way to work to provoke the Romans to turn to that last resource of the wronged and outraged-AssAssiNATiox . He has declared Rome in a state ot siege , dissolved the clubs , suppressed the journals , and commanded a general disarming of the brave men ho has conquered , but whose heroism * f i ° ? i ° ruffian t 0 respect . - Lastly , it is stated that he has addressed a lyroclamation to the agents of the Pope , throughout the Roman States io set £ 6 all

"• ^" " lcorl ''S ' murderers ( like Oudinot and his followers ) no terms should bo kept ; their destruction . by cither force or fraud will be ever accounted a deed most holy by those who love Justice , and dare vindicate the sacred rights of'Humanity ; Much mystery yet shrouds the last days of the Roman . struggle and the circumstances connected with th ^ surrender of the city . I anticipate that when the-facts become known we shall find that treason of some kind led to a termination of the
conflict , sooner than would otherwise have been the case . I am much mistaken if the men of property did hot counteract the devotion of Mazzini and Garibaldi . Time will tell . In the meantime we have the melancholy assurance that the Roman Republic is no more . The gates of the Eternal City are thrown open to Pope Pius who fled in the disguise of a flunkey , but who may return in the costume—it will be no disguise—of Abutcher . Again the dungeons will be filled , the Inquisition will be re-established , and persecution , torture , and death will proclaim that Order reigns in . Rosie , and the rule of God ' s Vicegerent is uncontested . Rut for HOW LONG ? Re assured a day of vengeance will come . May it come speedily ! There is talk of a note addressed by Lord Pai ^
merston to the French Government in which there is some fuss made in defence of Roman rights {!) , and explanation demanded as to the intended course of the French Government , Humbug ! Lord Palmettos ' s note ( if there is any truth in the report ) lias been concocted only to throw dust in the eyes of Europe . His notes are TOO LATE . Ho has made England an accomplice , by connivance , in the assassination of the Roman Republic , and inflicted upon his country a stain only less frightful than that inflicted upon France by her traitorous rulers , If PALMERSibNjIelt any interest in Italian liberty , he would yet at the eleventh hour recognise the Venetian Republic and drive the Aiustrian brigands from her waters and her shores . But he will not do so . Alas ! my countrymen , you are dishonoured :
our fatherland is disgraced ; the name of England excites only the curses and jeers of the people of Europe , because in your name the banded tyrants are secretly aided by those who rule and pretend to represent this nation . When , oh ! when will you take your affairs into your own hands—unsheathe the sword in defence of the oppressed—and efface the degradation of your present apathy , and the shame of the sway of your present rulers ?

Radetzskt , but deserted and joined the Sardinian army under Charles Albkrt , whose unsuccessful war obliged them to escape into France , where they were not allowed to remain , but were escorted bv
gendarmes to tho frontier , and their passage paid to England . They brought with them their standard , and were accompanied by an officer , who had been allowed to retain his sword . Tlie gallant fellows were in a state of destitution . For the last fortnight they have been encamped in tho neighbourhood of Folkstone . Public attention was first called to the state of these brave men by the Editor of the ¦ Sun , in whicli journal several eloquent and iraJr-ndmirablo articles hare appeared , calling upon the British public to furnish pecuniary assistance to these unfortunate soldiers of Freedom . The appeals of the Sim have been nobly responded to . Amongst the leading politicians who have subscribed , I- " find the names of Lord Nugent , £ 5 ; Lord H ' udlev Stuart , £ 10 <; W . Scholcfield , £ 5 ; W . Ewart , £ 5 ;
Mr . Wilson , M . P ., £ 5 ; J . Heywood , M . P ., £ 5 ; T . M . Gibson , M . P ., £ 5 ; and Messrs . Mowatt , Lushington , Henry , Mackinnon , M'Culloch , Moncton Milnes , F . H . Berkeley , Villiers , T . S . Buncombe , all M . P . ' s , £ 5 each ; also Colonel Salwcy , £ 5 . There arc also subscriptions from " Afew , Chartists , " - " A few Democrats ; - " " A few Republicans , " and almost every description of working men . Also from " Some Poles resident in London , " from " The Compositors of the . £ un , " and , amongst other subscriptions , £ 7 Cs . collected tit a public meeting afc Newcastle-on-Tyne . The poor have clubbed their shillings and their pence ; and altogether , within ten days , a snm has been collected of £ 201 lGs . 5 d . Subscriptions may be sent to the following bankers : Messrs . Coutts
and Co . ; Messrs . Drummond ; Messrs . Smith , Payne , and Smith ; to the Committee of M . P . ' s , whose names I have already given ; or to thcEditor of the Sun , 112 , Strand . Although the sum already collected is considerable ^ tlie payment for food , clothing , and lodging for iifty-five men during fourteen days , must have appropriated a considerable portion of the money , A principal object of the subscription is to furnish these brave patriots with the means of reaching Hungary , whither they desire to return , to give the aid of their good swords to Kossuth , Rem , and tho rest of that nation of heroes , who are at this hour engaged in a death struggle to save Hungary and Liberty from the blood-stained yoke of the Kaiser and the Tsar . Many thanks to the Sun for taking up the cause of our unfortunate but heroic brothers .
Brother Proletarians , I know well that many a ; ricvous burdens weigh upon you ; I know , too , that you who arc the most ardent arc continually taxing yourselves to support the victimised patriots of your own land . ; nevertheless , let all who can do so contribute to the Testimonial to the Hungarian Refugees . Whether you give much or little , give in your thousands and prove thereby that your hearts are with tlie heroic people of Hungary . I would have you do more . Your government has connived at the assassination of tho Roman Republic , and is evidently desirous that Hungary should share the snm ' o- 'fato . It is your duty by legal and constitutional means to compel the government to take another course . It is your duty to rise in- the majesty of your moral mi g ht and declare that , even at the cost of War , Hungary shatt oe saved—whatever the cost of opposing the barbarians , the Cossacks shall not crush the Maoyars . .

.Child Murder.—On Friday, A Very Conside...
. Child Murder . —On Friday , a very considerable sensation was created amongst the inhabitants of Somcrs Town , by the discovery of a most horrible attempt , on the part of a young woman named Elizabeth Wardle , in service at the house of Mr . Griffin , No . 23 , ' Church-way , to destroy a newly-born female child of which she is the mother . Ifc appears that AVardle , . who is but nineteen years of age , has been for some time past suspected by her . mistress to ho enceinte , but which she strenuously denied . The closet of the house in question is in immediate proximity to one of the mam sewers , a fact known to her as well as the other inmates . About 11 o ' clockon Thursday night tho attention of Mr . " Griffin was attracted by hearing a loud splashing ofwatov in the yard several times , which induced nim to see what was the matter . He met the accused coming in , and thinking something was . wrong , he went to the cl » set , and whilst there he
distinctly heard the cries of an infant . He raised an alarm , and lights having been procured , a newlyborn female child was discovered lying at the entrance of the cesspool running from the closet , where it had been thrown by its inhuman parent , After about half-an-hour ' s exertion the closet was removed , and Mr . Griffin succeeded in rescuing the poor little creature , still alive , from its perilous and filthy situation . The police , as well as a medical man , were sent for , and the child having received the necessary medical attention , "Wardlc was at once taxed with the crime . She at first strenuously asserted her innocence , and declared the charge to be an attempt to destroy her character . She was , however ; given into custody of police-constable No . 207 S , when she confessed that she had thrown the child down the closet , and that the noise of the water which was heard was the four or five pailfuls she had thrown down in order to wash the child through the cesspool into the sewor ,

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF USITED TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY AND : THE : EMPLOYMENT OF LABOUR IN" AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURE . , . . ,. . Established lSi 5 i-T , S , PrarcoMDE , Esq ., M , P ,, President , Tho Central Comimtteo in their report in the last numbe ^ of-the ^ : ivorf ) i ^ i -v & ar , '' referred to : ¦ .. ^ certaiu ^ ecidiarities ^ which distinguished the Njjtional ^ past and present iiidultriaTmov ^ nienW ,: and which tliGyconceiye '; . / Iibuid ; ' rcedfinVGiid it to tho
especial coHside ^ tipjaV ^ f- vthfe ; grades : of Great Britain . The $ pintS ; rofWi ^ to ; -had reference chiefly to their- successfuT mode , of dealing with disputes between einployei'sandeiiiployed , aild which has created amougthp . employing class in many parts , of the country a degree of respect and wholesome deference to the National Association , not usuall y evinced by employers to any movement ' of working men . But it never was contemplated-by the founders of this Association , that its onl y operation should be confined to an . improved method of dealing with trades disputes—it never was intended
that it should constitute . ; . itself into a Strike Association merely . It had , and still has , objects of a far higher " and more useful character in : view , but which tli & extraordinary occurrences of the last two years have necessarily forced into abeyance . I " . . But 'tho .. time appears to have arrived when these important and practical ulterior . objects should' bo placed prominently ^ before- the-working classes , that they may better lie . able to compare and judge of the general . merits . ©! the various , movements of an . industrial character which now distract their attention ' . '"'" ' ¦' ' *'''' "
With the ' sirigle exception of Mv . O'Connor ' s National La ^ tliCompanyj the National Association is the -only .-movement which recognises and eiiiorces ^ . th ' e important principle that-the working ( xlasse | : p ' 6 ssess the means and the power ^ if rightly directed , of relieving themselves of-H . ' g }*« 4 . |> 6 r ^ o of the evils which beset them .. "Jt af » peated . ^ to '" those who ori g inated , " and to-those to wham the management of this movement'lias " beon . subsequently entrusted , that all their .-efforts ^ vould bo but , at the best , ' mere palliation ,-. * until some plan could be devised by \ vliic"h'the great monster evil , an over-gorged labour market , could be either removed br very materially diminished . They could not . advjse so unnatural and suicidal a scheme as ' emigration ^ neither € ould they delude their "fellow " men into the belief thai a
remedy could be expected from any appeal to the justice . or' humanjty-of the legislature . They have always been of opinion , which each day ' s experience fully confirms , that any movement which seeks to benefit , the working men throug h , appeals ; forgovernmental interference alone , has an- injurious tendency , by dividing their attention ; and' preventing them concentrating . tlieir- ¦ energies upon more practical measures . The working classes of Great Britain will never . « btain any real concessions from
the Legislature , either social or political , until they set-to in-earnest to concentrate the means and the power they possess , and apply them to work out their political and industrial enfranchisement " . ' . " Instructed then by past experience , theybavea right to expect that any movement , whether , industrial or political , which presents itself a ' s a candidate for their countenance and support , " must prove itseJf capable of realising some practical advantage , not contingent upon the will or caprice of parliamentary majoHties , ¦
The past proceedings of the National Association ' ' have been of an unquestionably practical character , and really beneficial to numerous . sections of its members ; but the . benefits , conferred bear no comparison with * what might-have occurred , if the prejudices and ignorance of the working men themselves had not blinded them to their best and truest interests . As there now appear strong evidences of the " Trades forming ajuster estimate of their own power—and as the necessity for a' National Union of the Trades is becoming- daily recognised as a desideratum of paramount importance—the Central Committee consider it their duty to
republish 'TiiEiK'TiAJ . ' , originally prepared by them . in 1 J 347 , and first - ' p ' , ublished in the Association Report , " No . 4 , 'for April , 1848 , under the title of "Organisation of Labour ; " and by which they propose to deal gradually with the surplus labour , which is converted into an engine of such dire oppression . Until the working classes are prepared to attempt some such noble and rational effort for then' amelioration , we must be content to . carry out the more limited , but still important objects of the Associonfor the Protection of Industry ; and , as was observed last week , this branch of the Association ' s proceedings is capable of being made a most powerfiirinstrument for good , if supported by working men , faithfully and steadily .
ORGANISATION OF LABOUR . This all important question is too little understood and appreciated in this country . The Central Committee of the National Association of United Trades lor the Protection of Industry have , in the Monthly ' Heportissued by them , inserted a series of articles upon the subject , in which the present condition of the working classes , and its causes , have been carefully ' analysed , and , ifc is believed , truthfully described . A remedy based upon the first principles laid " down in these papers , and commensurate with tlie evils ' ifc is sought to . remove , is tho great desideratum of the age , and the subjoined plan is published by the Central Committee in . this shape , and at this time , with the view of bringing the question in a practical manner-fairly before the working classes generally , " and especially those trades which are uniteiwith tho National Association .
CONDITIO ?? t > F THE . "WORKING CLASSES . , " THE REMEDY . In the- papers previously devoted to this subject , WC endeavoured , step by step , to lead the convictions of the . trades along" with us , by presenting , in support bf every proposition laid down , such hn array of facts , and of just deductions from them , as wc conceived would stand the test of the most severe scrutiny . Wc have now cleared the ground sufficiently to ' proceed to the last and most important portion of our labours , namely—to suggest for consideration , -atid / wc trust , gcmeral adoption , the
practidal ' in ' cas urc ' s which these tacts ana reasonings irresistibly force upon attention , ns the only means by which the industrious-classes can eifectunlly arrest the dowhwimitendcticy of the present system . In saying this ; it is nofmeant to throw discredit uporf any other- popuWinovement . Ill their own place and manner , no ^ doubt , they all tend to promote that general progress of society which is so desirable and so necessary . .. Biitjr ' emcmbering well a much abused qudtatiori- ^ •¦ '• '' Hereditary-Bondsmeij . \ know ye not , Who would ' berfree , themselves must strike'the blow "
—we feel it fbbe oiir . imperative duty , to tell the working classes , that they must in the first , instance look to themselves , and tlieir own powers , for their real redemption from the slavery and the difficulties of their present position ,, Jit will be in the' future , as it has boon in ; tlie . p : ist >; ... quite , pos 8 iblc that there may be general and . , grcat ' progrc 8 S in arts , science , civilisation ,-and knowledge . without more than a mere fraction of the . benefits . reaching the labour class , unless some means . be . devised by which .. they may directly participate in all the advantages which education ,- machinerv , ahd . skill c ' onferupon society . Itis notatall likely that this will be done by any Other Class : than-the working . classes themselves .
What intcrcst . can . any . other class . be supposed to take in the matter ? If any other classes were really , sincerely , and generally . interested in it , . their assistance could be of but small service compared with what we can do'for ourselves . Lotus waste no time in calling upon Jupiter , but set our . own shoulders to the wheel of thelabour waggon , and depend upon it we have , strength enough to lifb ifc out of the ditch . :. > The events that are taking . ; place in other countries reflect licht' unon . the labour . question in this
country . If any . , one thing more-.. than another is made palpable by . the , Jrenph revolution of 1848 , it is that the emancipation of industry is less dependent upon political than social changes . The mere fact of thedestruction . ofabad and mischievous system , does not . necessarily .- imply , that it is replaced by a good and beneficial one ., Let us understand , once tor all , that a new and equitable organisation of labour is the great problem of the age— 'that it is the constructive , noUhe . destructivefivoulties , which must be called into action , before any tangible bene * fits can be realised by the . lab . qur . class . It is true that such . plana Are . less showy n , nd captivating in

their immediate results , than the more exciting ap-i peals to the passions presented by tho spectacle of serried masses victorious over tlieir former rulers : but the one may be beautiful as a summer cloud ' and as evanescent—while the other , slow in growth ' resembles the oak in its . strength and duration . ' In our last paper , wc showed conclusively that- the trades possessed all the requisite means for makino . a fair trial of the constructive and reproductive policy , and also gave an outline of the proposed new establishments in which that policy may be embodied . In a matter of such deep and absorbin » importance , however , everything ought to be m-ide -is clear and as straightforward aa possible , and we now proceed to describe the plans by which the members of our Association may proceed to attempt a
practical solution of this great question . These plans ho it observed , are in complete accordance with the decisions of the various conferences , and with the constitution of the Association . The only difference is , that they elaborate a little more in detail , the plans to which the trades have given their adhesion on various occasions by their delegates . The Association for the Employment of Labour in tho Agriculture and Manufactures , was established for " the purchase or rental of lands , whereon to locate and employ the- surplus labour of the Association , in such manner as shall bo most conducive to tlieir own wclfnre , ami that of the Association ; and , secondly , lor tho erection or rental of buildings for domestic and industrial purposes , in such localities as may be best suited for these purposes and tlie promotion of tho general interests of tho Association . " By a vote of the Conference of 184 G , it determined that fund of £ 20
was a , 000 , for these objects , should bo created by a levy of 2 d . in the pound on the wages of members ; but hitherto that resolution has never been enforced , and the reserve fund lias therefore not been conuaenced . The time lias now come , however , when the objects of tho Association must not be permitted to remain a dead letter , or a theme of abstract speculation . "We must bo up and doing in earnest . "We therefore propose , by the sanction of the late Conference , that , an employment fund of £ C ) i ) , QD 0 shouM be immediately formed ; the subscriptions to be invested in a bank during the time of collection , in the names of three trustees , and not to be withdraws , unless bv the authority of the annual Conference , or a special conference summoned for that purpose . Such fund to bo held sacred for reproductive objects ,- and to be applied to no other purpose on any ' pretence
whatever . It may appear that £ 50 , 000 is a large sum to raise in the time we have liamed . But , if weanalvso the component elements of the Association , and tho means at tho command of its individual members , it will be found that it can be ett ' ected'i without the sacrifice of more than the price of a pint of beer a week , from each of the individuals . who are more or less brought into direct communication with this Association . These we estimate at 00 , 000 , and if each man , therefore , paid only twopence per week , regularly , for two years , it would amount to £ 49 , 000 . It is , however , perhaps , too much to expect that this uniform sum should bo paid by all the members . The lower-paid trades , in eoiin ' e . vipii with the Association , cannot , indeed , be expected to
subscribe to the same amount as those who receive hi gher wages . In this instance , therefore , as in the case of the funds levied to support the Association for the Protection of Industry , it will bo best to adopt the principle of poundage upon wa » cs , by which each trade will be enabled to contribute to tho achievement of the great object , in the direct proportion that its means permit it to do so . If the poundage wore calculated so that its min imum would be Id . per week , and its mammon 4 d \ , ifc would , supposing the distribution of numbers , in the different classes , to be pretty nearly ' equal , give the required amount . Vi ' e can- scarcely imagine , however
, that if the trades arc felly aware of the overwhelming importnncc of the . subject , thoy will not make every sacrifice that may be required by this or any better mode that may' be devised of raising the necessary funds . In order to make the cost of collection ns small as possible , and to simplify the whole business , it is proposed that the local secretaries and officers of the various trades , in connexion with the Association , shall collect the poundage for the Employment Fund , and remit it , in tie same manner as tho monies for the Protection Fund are now collected and remitted . Should it be deemed advisable by the Conference to admit trades not subscribers to the
Protection Fund , to become contributors to this fund , or the formation of miscellaneous branches for that purpose , of course the duties would , in such eases , devolve upon the officers of these respective bodies . With the view of giving each individual subscriber a direct and palpable interest in the fund , to the extent of his contributions , it is further proposed , whenever the sum so paid amounts to 5 s ., to issue a scrip certificate for tlie same , whicli will entitle the holder to such interest as maybe fixed by Conference , and , after tlie commencement of practical reproductive operations in the establishments of ( he association , to a definite proportion of the profits . These scrip certificates would be transferable and negotiable property , and , so far , as good as money—the only condition proposed ,
being , that any sciipholdcr . desirous of parting with his certificate , shall , in the first instance , uffor it to the Association , and , should it be declined , he shall then be at liberty to sell it to whom he pleases , subject to a transfer fee of fire percent , on the amount to be paid by the purchaser , for tho registration of the transfer in the books of the Association . The same system of registering names , payments , and arrears , to be adopted in the Employment i ' uiid , as in the case of the present levies . In fact , this fund would present , during the process of its collection , and while the money was invested in the Bank at interest , a species of Savings Bank for the working classes , through tho medium of which they would at once derive immediate personal benefit ,
and contribute powerfully to the future emancipation and operation of their order . When the capital was invested in freehold land ,-dwellings and workshops , and machinery , they would then become copartners in establishments , the object of which would be two-fold—to remove the surplus from tho labour market , which is the primary cause of all reductions in waxes ; and to give them a direct personal participation in the new wealth produced by their own accumulated and repvodnctively-emp ' loyed capital . They would , therefore , bo benefitted in two ways—first , by . having wages kept up to an equitable standard , and , second , by becoming in tlieir own persons capitalists , in connexion with establishments which could not fail , if judiciously managed , to elevate permanently the order of Industry .

FATHER MATI 1 EW , Who addressed the crowd of Irish surrounding the vessel when he left Ireland for America a short time since , said : — " You do not reflect , my friends , that whilst you are in the tavern or tap-room , indulging in drink , that you are at the same time drinking down the food of the hungry , and the clothes of tlie naked . " And may not the same be said to the people of Bridgwater ? How many are there , mea and women , more to their shame be it said , who- drink the food and clothes of the hungry and naked ? How many are there whose homes are void of every comfort , " whilst they help to support the publichouses and beer-shops in the town ?
NO WONDER TIMES ARE BAD . If people will drink , and bo idle , thoy are sure not to be well oft " , and they deserve to suffer ; they < lo no good to themselves * nor to any one else ; they come to poverty and-want , and are then supported by private charity or parish pay . Thus tho industrious and careful ' have to provide not only for themselves but for the lazv and the sot . Working Men !—all who complain of bad times and want of work—it is in your power to make things better . You cannot " spend your money in
drink , and buy food . You cannot spcnd . your money in drink , and buy clothes . You cannot spend your money in drink , . and ' buy'furniture .- If working people saved the money they nbw spend in drink , they would soon buy more food—the farmer , the farm labourer , the baker , and the butcher , would all have move to do . they would also- buy mora clothing ; and tho drapers , tailors , and shoemakevs , would have a brisker trade :: they would buy more furniture ; and cabinet-makers and carpenters would have the benefit .
Mv Friends—You can do good one for another , you can make work one . for another , if you will . Instead of spending your money at the public-bouse , buv a chair or a tabic-: ' a working man must make it . " If shoes or boots , or clothes are wanted * working men are again employed . If bread ov beef is eaten , labourers have to see to the getting .-of it . My Friends—The Teetotal Reform is one of tho most important in the nati < ra . Ifc will eaable mea properly to feed and clothe their families . ' : It will occasion an increased demand for most kinds of agricultural produce , as well as manufactured goods . It will call out native industry—give-a briskness to trade , and cause such a demand for labour , that men will get a fair day ' s wages , for a' fair day ' s work . ,, Whilst you faUto reform yourselres , other reforms will fail . to increase yoav happiness . Freetrade will be of no benefit so long as you are free to drink . Let tb . en Teetotansw ho the CHARTER , - to give you home comforts , aud * he nation prosperity .
