' J ' ' ' ! ' , An Appeal To The Members...
' ' ' ! ' , AN APPEAL TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY IN BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL ELECTION FUND . Mr FMBinm , —Having become members of the National Land Company , it h natural for m to feel a deep and lively interest in all tbat concerns its present and future welfare ; and I do not know how we can better evince our regard for its prosperity than by responding to the call that has been made en behalf of the National Election Fund . Consider , my friends , how much we owe to the Chartist body ,-it ia to them and to its leaders that we have now the prospect of becoming landowners , and as snch , how much more our interest will be enhanced by having in the Commons' Houss of Parliament an array of
! ' ; men , who would watch over our interests and guard them from the attacks of self-interested men ! Allow me , my friends , to suggest a plan to you , the adoption of which , 1 feel assured , would in time most successfully secure to us those blessings , that would naturally now from civil and religious liberty . I would " call upon every member of our Company to unite them * selves to the National . Registration and Election Committee : —in the first place , by the immediate payment of Is . each to tbe fund of the said Committee . Secondly , I suggest a continued paymentof 2 d . per week each . We are in numbers more than 18 . C 00 , and union is strength , for by the first subscription we sbouldhaveraore than £ 900 to start with ; and hy the second we should realise * sum of more than £ 75 per week
. This may , and this ought to-be done . But some of you may say we are so poor that we cannot possibly afford it . Let me beg that you will try not only once bnt perseveringly . Allow me my friends to ask a question . Are you not in the constant habit of using some things that maybe tailed luxuries , snch m ale . beer , tea , coffee , tobacco , snuff , & c . ? Now , in Order & at we may obtain those blessings and advantages which we as a civilised people ought to possess , but which havebeen tyrannically stolen from us , let « s deny ourselves rX two-penny worth ot more of tteese luxuries per weeSc , and devote the stwa thus saved to the National Election Fund . Were we t ^ j 0 Practise those principles of self-denial , we should be doing no nwre than what is our Asty to do , 'especially when weeensider the incalculable amount < ef good that would thus be effected . Oar leaders \ rould , by the display of such noble prHlrtples , be inspired with greater confidence , and the -public might be enli
ghtened in those principles which we are so anxious ihey should inculcate . HitiiSto as a body we have dorreaothing in behalf < of Chartism ; let us not be tbas'daracterised bysnch ifcigratitude any longer ? ret by-gonesbeby-go » e 8 ? 'bntfor the future , let us ewakenfrom our lethargy toa sense of duty . We base enemies great aud imijbtjy to combat with —difficulties to surmount—oustacJes to throw down —tbefntcrest of parties and the "prejudice of ages to contend *? fii . We may expect'to suffer defeat xfter detest , but let none of these things drive us from the ! posfdf'aiay , but , on the contrary , let them sticaiate . us &> greater exertion , In order that the above plan be reduced to practice , letine'oall on all secretaries , ] 8 tjb-secrttaries , and officers of the Natiorfs !

Operative Block-Printers. X0 Abe Editor ...
OPERATIVE BLOCK-PRINTERS . X 0 ABE EDITOR OF TBE NOBTBBBti STAB . Sir , —We feel it a duty to ourselves and to the trade at large to lay before the public the strange circumstances which have recently occurred in Manchester and its neighbourhood—occurrences which will have a tendency to seriously injure both tho master And 'the operative block-printer . You are aware that there has been a disgraceful movement , and a persevering agitation by a small portion of the operatives and some of their -employers , for the Siur pose of reducing the block-pilutcr ' sppicea for his abour . To explain to the . public the circumstances which have originated this movement , it will be necessary to state that , owing to a long-continued depression
ofthe operatives' condition , a number of that unhappy class have been reduced to the degraded position of begging leave to work at apprentices' prices . ' Ia it not gating in theestreme to tbink tbat a bod y of industrious , hardworking men , in the prime of Ufe , possessing health asd strength , should sink to the level of apprentices , . and forget the dignity and respect they ought to have fer themselves . as men ? Yet this has actually beea brought about hy some few shops pushing into the market an immense-quantity oi low-priced goods and of inferior styles of patterns produced by apprentices , whilst the regular
journeymen have been compelled to patrole t & ectreets and starve . It appears that a conscientious feeling has . deterred some of the employers from putting in practice the reduced list of psices emanating £ ram a self-elected body styling themselves the Operative Blockprinters ofthe Southern District ( a mere frac tion who have seceded from the general trade , and acting . directly in opposition to the great majority ) . Taking orders under each otlier is the great bane of the trade . Competition has-reduced the profits of machine work until it is almost at a standstill , and is little if any better than giving change for a shilling .
Sir , it as generally admitted that labour is the source of wealth . Granting this to be true , the labourer is surely entitled to something like a-reasonable remuneration , which cannot be the case if his wages ar < e so curtailed , that he cannot procure the comforts and common necessaries of life , or a reasonable subsistence for himself and family ; but it is evident that some masters are determined to reduce wages to the very point of starvation . We have struggled through a difficult season with provisions enormously dear , and now when there is a prospect of a plentiful supply at a reasonable rate ,
poverty must have no benefit from it , but surrender <& part of the reward of labour to satisfy the avarice ofthe wealthy . Can a country be in a prosperous state when a great portion of the industrious operatives are fluttering in rags and famishing with hunger ? The higher and middle classes make an ostentatious display of charity by the distribution of soup . We seek not charity , we simply ask leave to toil , and reasonable payment for that toil , which would enable us to procure all we require , instead of which we are doomed to linger out a miserable existence .
It has been generally acknowledged that the home market is the most secure and healthy of all others when based on the prosperity ot the labour classes , but by reducing wages to the lowest ebb , we in a great measure destroy that market . Ic is our humble opinion that uncontrolled machinery will become the banc and curse of this country , by curtailing labour and multiplying paupers to such an extent as to clog the wheels of government , from the want of revenue to keep llicm in motion , for be it remembered that machinery pays no taxes , neither requires food nor clothing .
Finally , sir , we would fain hope that those masters who have allowed their men to work at prices different to thc regular established list , will reconsider this unpleasant subject , and tbat their sympathising ge nerous feelings will induce them to abandon this degrading system , and thereby do something towards elevating their workmen from their fallen state—beings who are sunk beneath the dignity of men in putlog themselves on a par with apprentice-boys . —In the name ofthe Committee , We are , Sir , Most respectfully yours , [ John Smallet , Chairman . July C > , 1847 , Tjwmas Giuium , Secretary .

On Wednesday Evening, July 7, Messrs Hum...
On Wednesday evening , July 7 , Messrs Humphries and Shackleton attended a meeting of the operative tailors , Poland-street . The meeting was a conversational one , oh the advantages of the Association , and much satisfaction was evinced by the body of tailors , who are quite enamoured with the superiority of national union over local combinations , and passed resolutions to join the Association , and to agitate the subject in their own trade ; with a view of bringing the whole of them into the Association . July 12 , - Mr Humphries attended the annual meeting of the edge-tool makers , held at Mr Holder ' s , Rodney Inn , Colcshill-street , for the purpose of laying before that body the principles and objects of the National Association . The large and splendid concert-room urns crowded to excess .
Mr Wm . Hall was called to the chajr , who remarked that they were met to celebrate the fourth annual meeting of their body . He hoped that every member present would pay strict attention to the business which had to be laid before them , and endeavour to cultivate friendly and brotherly feelings , so that , at the close of their proceedings , they might be able to depart to their respective localities with a conviction , that nothing had been done to wound the
feelings of a single member of their society . He would not at present trouble them with any further remarks , but proceed to the immediate business of tbe meeting . After several toasts had been g iven and responded to , the Chairman said that the next sentiment which he had to submit to thera he was certain would have tlie warmest response of every one present , after which he should call upon Mr Humphries , a delegate from the central committee of the National Association , to reply . ' '
The toast was , "T . S . Duncombe . Esq ., M . P ., and President of the National Association of United Trades , " This sentiment , was received with the warmest response , and three tiroes three cheers for the People ' s representative in ' the Commons' Ho ' nse Of Parliament ; • - . ' -Tie Chairman then introduced Mr Humphries , wfeo , on . rising , was received with great applause . H « said , the gentleman whose health they had then proposed was , in . every respect , most w . prthy of their « steem " and gratitude , for his constant and answer - irtnWdevotedness to the interests ' of tile working
hiil-¦ lionsr-he was in reality" the- people ' s representative uvrthevHouse of Commons ; arid their ;< dong « trie < l friend and advocate , and one who . deservedly , possessed the entire confidence of the working poition oi this country 5 that confidence had ' been hard fought for and richly won , by his unwearied ^ exertions to elevate and redeem ' the working classes ; In order that the meeting might fully" appreciate ^ the invaluable services rendered by . Mr / Buncombe , to the National Association , he wpuld . thow . 4 he . origin of that gentleman ' s connection with it , and . his . cpntinued interest in its progress .
Mr Humphries then gave a brief history of the origin of the Association , the basis upon which it was established , and its adaptation to every , class of British operatives ; also , that it was the development of the : present advancing . spirit ,, pf . the . age ; and at the same time , that it was the only efficient method by which the working classes could effectually serve their own interests , and resist the aggressions of capitalists upon the rights \ of Industry . He then went on to show what he conceived to be one of the . great , and , at the same time destructive , scourges that afflicted and paralysed the energies of the trades of this country—namely , a , redundancy of idle hands , in the labour-market . And so long as
this was the case > the masters would he in a position to regulate the price of labour as they thought fit . This was obvious ; for if . raen could . not get half a loaf they would get what they could , for a little , was better than no bread , and to obtain this they would sell their labour at a less price than their fellow-operatives ; and the object of employers' in general , is , to get labour as cheap ; as they can , so that they are " ever ready to take advantage of this state of affairs . But ' , hc would ask 'them , why was there a surplus amount of labourers in the market ? Was it because they had enough and to' spare ofthe comforts of life ? Why was there a
redundancy of bands among the operative tailors and shoemakers ? Was it because . they had plenty , of coats and trousers , and hoots and shoes ? It ' was not—they wanted these articles of wearing apparel ; but on account of the low condition of wages generally , they were obliged to dispense with many o ( these things , and the tailors and shoemakers , in consequence , had no demand for their labour , and thus surplus labourers were thrown into the market . How , then , could this state of things be remedied ? Why , it must he hy the working classes organizing
themselves in a great National Confederation , for the promotion and protection of each other ' s interests ; and by elevating the condition of each other , they would be enabled to command more of the necessaries of life , and in doing so would create a demaud for labour , absorb the idle hands , and sweep off . with one national stroke that paralysing grievance the working . classes have now to fight against , — namely , a market- filled with surplus labourers . Mr Humphries then proceeded to show how the National Association would enhance the
prosperity ofthe edge-tool makers , " and asked upon what that prosperity depended ? Was if upon the depression of the carpenters , the sawyers , and the miners ? No ; for if these trades were in a depressed condition , they would , consume less of . the products of their labour ; and when there was no demanilfbr their labour , their masters would have tbe advantage of them and be ' able , without resistance , to reduce their wages . But if they joined with the carpenters , the ^ sawyers , and the miners , to assist in maintaining their standard of wages , they .. would consume a larger quantity of the articles they , manufactured ; and consequently create a greater
demand for their labour , and when that demand existed they could ask for , arid obtain a just remuneration for their labour . Mr Humphries concluded by exhibiting samples of goods manufactured by the members of the National Association , and-. exhorted them to become consumers of free ,,. labour . He would sit down , arid any ' question they thought fit to ask relative to the National "Association , he should feel great p leasure in answering to the best of his ability . In the course of the evening some important questions were asked ,, and fanswered to the perfect satisfaction of the meeting ; after which the following ¦ r esolution was carried without a ¦
single dissentient : — " That ' this meeting returns its' sincere thanks to the central committee for having sent Mr Humphries among them , also to that . gentleman , for the very able and talented address delivered hy him to this meeting ; and tbat each district of edge-too makers be requested to discuss the subject at their various district meetings , and bring a decided answer to the next quarterly meeting , which will be held on the first Monday in next month , as to tbe propriety of the whole body joining the National Association at once . " A vote of thanks was then passed to the worthy host for the very excellent manner in which he lred provided such good and ample accommodatio 1 for their society , also for the general interest he took in the prosperity of their body .
Mr IlouiEN replied by thanking thorn for the honour they had done him , and concluded by wisning " Permanent prosperity to the edge-tool makers , and may success attend all their undertakings to enhance their general welfare . " A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman by acclamation , for tho unwearied services rendered by him to this trade . To which Mr ILiu . responded in a short hut neat address , adverting to the continued progression of their S ciety since its formation , and hoped they would still go on prospering in all their exertions to secure tho rights of Industry .

State Tiuals In Fuance. The Trial Of Gen...
STATE TIUALS IN FUANCE . The trial of General Cubieres and M . M . Teste ) Parmentier and Pellapra , commenced on Thursday before the High Court of Peers . M . Cauchy , Recorder of the Court , read the hill sf indictment drawn up by the Attorney-General , M . Delangle . , , That document began by stating the circumstances under which the association between General Culiieres and M . Paimentier was formed for the pur nose of working a mine of rock salt , in 1842 . The letters which passed between them evidently m iicated the project of purchasing with money the
support ofthe Minister of Public Works , and M Parmentier in his interroRatory had not hesitated tr > admit that the criminal bargain had been coneIwled and actually carried into effect . In November , 18-11 , M . Parmentier arrived in Paris , and waited on General Cubieres , with whom he prepared the mean * of securing to themselves tlie concession ofihe mines of Gouhenans . On the 14 th of January 1812 ; General Cubieres wrote to his associate , apprising him of a conversation he had had with M . Legrand , Director-General of the Department of Public Works , and ur ging him to supply him with the means necessary to ensure an interested support in the Coun > cil of Ministers . M I can , " he said ,
" Obtain that indispensable support , and it behoves you to devise the means of propitiating him . This subject is not easy to treat by correspondence ; . ' . your presence is necessary , indispensable in Paris , You must dispose to that effect of a certain number of shares . When we roqet we will talk over the affair-, hut yon must contrive that you anil I should have those shares in our possession , in order to carry our point with as little delay asv possible . Remember , my . dear sir , that the government is placed in greedy and corrupt hands . " It was agreed between them that' the original IOC shares should be converted into 525 , aiid tbat 25 should be placed at the disposal of Messrs Cubieres and Parmentier , to employ them as they thought proper , for the benefit of the enterprise , without I being obliged to give any account of the use they
had made of them to the company . Having made several unsuccessful attempts to negotiate the shares they at last offered them to M . Pellapra , who agiecd to lend on them 100 , 00 * 07 . That sum was actually paid by M . Pellapra . Another sum of 100 , 000 f ; was subsequently realised by the sale of 25 other shares belonging to M ; Parmentier . Those two sums were then placed in the hands of General Cubit-res to be employed as he thought fit to insure the giant of the concession . The bill of indictment then endeavours to explain how . the 200 , 0 , 007 ., placed at tbe disposal of M . Cubieres , had been appropriated by him , and cites several acts , signed between hint and M . Pellapra , from which it appeared that tbe latter had given to certain parties a sum of 115 . 000 F . to-forward their claim .
'Differences , ' however , subsequently arose hetweert Messrs . Cubieres and Parmentier , and the latter threatened to publish the letters ofthe General if he did , riot return him his 25 shares . Subsequently a civil suit between these two have servedas a pretext for revelations which have produced so painful an impression all over France . M . Delangle maintained against General Cubieres , and Messrs Parmentier and Pellapra , the charge of having , in 1842 , corrupied by offers , gifts , and presents , the Minister of Public Works , in order to obtain the concession of a mine of rock salt , situate in the department , of the Upper Saone ; and against M . Teste , of having at the same period , being Minister of Public Works , accepted those offers , and
received these gifts and presents . It had been ascertained , the day previous , that Pellapra had fled from Paris , and taken refuge in Belgium . On Friday the Chancellor communicated the fact that , on the demand of the committee of the court appointed to prepare and watch the trial , a warrant had been issued on Thursday night against the three accused , and that they had all been arrested forthwith , and carried to the prison of tbe Conciergerie , where they ; had passed the night . It appears that this rigorous step was taken by the court , principally in consequence of the unexpected discovery of some
additional correspondence between General Cubieres and . M . Pellapra , which greatly compromised MTeste . The letters were written by General Cubieres ' , who , on-. being questioned with respect to them , admitted that he had written letters ot the same purport , and be had no reason to think that the copies were otherwise than correct . . On Saturday M . Teste was interrogated by the Attoriiej-General , and ¦ persisted in denying the truth of the charges directed against his honour . In reply to the court , General Cubieres said , " I believed the statement of M . Pellapra when he told me thathehad paid 100 , 0 ' OOf . to M . Teste , and it is because I credited chat declaration that I confided to him the sums I have already mentioned . "
Id had been announced that M . Pellapra would yield himself up , and . appear before the court on Monday ; this , however , he did not do , but an extraordinary letter and documents sen tby him to Madame Pellapra were produced . In the letter , M . Pellapra enjoined his wife not to produce the documents except in case of extreme necessity , declaring that he had fled to avoid the cruel necessity of becoming the accuser of M , Teste .. Madame Pellaprasent his letter , with the documents , to the Chancellor , and they were laid before the court on Monday . The documents went directly , to implicate M . Teste as having received the wages of corruption from . M . Pellapra , M . Teste denied tbat he had received the money , and pointed ' to the very moderate fortune he enjoyed as a proof that he had not enriched himself by bribes or any other means . Witnesses were produced , who declared
that Pellapra had told them that' he had paid 100 , OOOfs . to M . Teste . But other evidence wast forthcoming . It occurred to the Chancellor that the books at the Treasury might throw some light on the subject . An expert accountant was forthwith despatched to examine , and in the course of the sitting that person sent in a report , which stated that on the very day after M . Pellaprahad paid over the sum of 93 , 000 francs and interest to a certain M . T „ the sum of 93 , 900 francs was invested by M . Charles Teste , the son of the Minister , in Bons Royaux . The closeness of dates , the similarity of the sums , the fact that M . Pellapra on tbat day had paid over the very sum in question to a M . T . ; coming altogether , it was too much for human reason to resist . From that moment the most sceptical looked upon M Teste as cuilty . to
The blow was ^ stunning one M . Teste himself . Ilu nan previously shown a great deal of courage and self-possession , but the report of the accountant , coming as it did with redoubled effect after his own 1 previous declarations of poverty , seemed to over power him . He turned deadly pale and fell back upon his seat , but after a short interval he again rose , and requested the court to observe that the investment in the Bons Royaux was a transaction of his son ' s with which he had nothing to do . The public excitement received a sudden impulse on Tuesday morning by the announcement that oa the pre . vi ' . us evening M . Teste had attempted suicide ; The news . turned out to he but too tlUO . though the attempt proved unsuccessful . The following account is from a Paris paper : —
" Attempted Suicide op-M . Teste . —Between eight and nine o ' clock last evening an explosion was heard in one of the chambers in the prison of the Luxembourg , occupied by the accused parties in the affair of the Gouhenans mines . The attendants immediately rushed in , and it was found tbat M . Teste had attempted to commit suicide ; he had placed a pistol in his mouth , and pulled the trigger , hut the pistol missed tire ; he then placed a second pistol close to his heart and fired , but he had pressed the weapon with such force aghinst tho part that the
hall did not enter , and he fell to the ground . No wound was inflicted , and the only t-ace of the explosion was a black mark from the powder on the flannel waistcoat and the skin . The Chancellor and the Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers were immediately summoned . After he had received the necessary attention , M . Teste was ordered to be kept in secret confinement under the eye of a keeper , in order to prevent a new attempt at self-destruction . It is said , that when M . Teste quitted the court the previous evening he exclaimed . ' Je stds un hoimne ycrdu , ' I "
