      Monday, March 15. Irnr Sb Of Lords.—The ...

      After a discussion , the debate was adjourned for a fortnisbt , for tbe purpose of further inquiry . OniBAGEs a the South of laausD . — The AirowreTGeseral for Ireland moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the causes of crime and outrage prevailing in tho counties of Armagh , Monaghan , and Louth . In support of this motion , the learned gentleman made the usual speech on such occasions , by giving a melancholy catalogue of tbe outrages and crimes which called for Parliamentary interference , and instanced a number of murders which had been cimmitted , beginning in 1849 , for the perpetration of which the parties had not been convicted , which was attributable to tbe organisation of Ribbonisai . and which required a Parliamentary interference to provide a remedy .

      Mr . Hatchell approved of the motion . The difficulty of obtaining convictions at the late special commissions had been very great , though the evidence on which he proceeded was so clear to his own mind , that be confidently calculated upon verdicts . He , however , wished to say , tbat be alone was responsible for the prosecutions which bad been institnted , and not tbe Lord Lieutenant , who had been improperly blamed for them . He trusted that the result of the committee would be the preparation of a measure which would meet the existing crime in Ireland , though it was unfortunately no new feature in itshistory , but had in various shapes , and with different objects , formed tbe subject of legislation for the last thirty years . Mr . Haluwell thanked tbe government for having taken up tbe subject .

      Mr . M'CciiiOH deplored tbe existence of crime in Ireand , but hopea tbat tbe committee would not confine itself to the immediate causes of that crime , but would also investigate its latent and remote causes . The present Lord Chancellor of Ireland had been sent to Limerick iu 1847 , when tbat district was in a state even more disorganised than that which they were then discussing . He had not found it necessary to alter the fundamental criminal law ; nor was it necessary in the present instance . The motion was then agreed to . On the motion of Mr . Headlasd , a Committee on the Laws of Mortmain was appointed . WEDNESDAY , March 17 . HOUSE OF COMMOSS- —A debate of some length aroie npon the second reading of a private bill—the Manchester and Salford Education Bill — which was moved b

      y „ ... Mr . BaoiHSaios , who stated that the measure had originated with the inhabitants of those boroughs , amongst whom were three parties , all desirous of promoting education , hut who differed as to the means , the bill being promoted by the party in favour of a combined religious education , whilst only the advocates of tbe voluntary system oppossd the bill altogether . Mr . M . Gibson moved , as an amendment , the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the State Of education in Manchester and Salford , and to report whether it

      was desirable to make any and what further provision for the edncation of their inhabitants by means of local rates . He looked npon this as a very extraordinary private bill . The reasonable mode of dealing with this subject was by settling the general principles of a measure applicable to the whole community , and then to allow particular localities to avail themselves , if they thought fit , of the general provisions . So important a change in public policy should be preceded by inquiry . Independently of this preliminary objection , he disliked some of the provisions of the bill , though not averse to the supporting of education by local

      rates . In tbe course of the discussion tbat followed , Mr . WArroiB , commending tbe motives of the promoters of this measure , ' and desiring to assist them , thought the house should not sanction the second reading of the bill , bnt should adopt the amendment , with some alteration . The rating clauses of the bill would supersede the voluntary efforts of religious bodies to contribute to the education of children of the humbler classes , and the making all schools open to all children wasa ' principle the consequences of which should be well weighed . There were other principles in the bill which required consideration , and he recommended the house , as the safest course , to adopt the amendment , omitting the words relating to local rating .

      Lord J . Russell agreed in tbe main principles laid down by Mr . Walpole , and thought the promoters of the measure conld not do better than consent to the appointment of a Committee , ana suspend the bill until the Committee bad made its report . Lord John indicated his views upon the subject of these schools , which , he believed , could only be supported by something in ths shape of a local rate . He concurred ia the great principle contained in the bill , that edncation ought not to bo puuly secul-ir . Sir R . Isglis objected to t : e principle of the bill , maintaining that the education of the people was a national concern , and on ° ht to be conducted by the Church . Mr . Fox objected that the bill introduced a new principle of legislation , that of extending church establishments . He supported the amendment , and intsfed tbat the

      inquiries of the Committee would throw important light on the question of education . Colonel Thompson * observed that there were only two modes of proceeding in snch a matter— either to establish a plan of education in which all csuid join , or to let ministers of all denominations teach religion to the children , and receive their proportion of ths munvy raised for education . Ultimately a compromise was agreed to between Mr . BnoxHERTOK and Mr . Ginsox , the second reading of the bill was postponed for a month , and it was referred to a select committee . The Pharmacy Bill was read a second time . Jlr . Tbfsell obtained leave to brina in a bill to abolish property qualifications for members cf parliament . THURSDAY , Mabch IS .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —I'hB Earl of Malmesburt admitted , in answer to Lord Beai'Moxt . tbe trntj of a statement that a British officer had been cut down by a Tuscan official at Leghorn , who , he said , had hem imprisoned for tbe offence . The Earl of Deiwjt , on being questioned by the Earl of EllsxbosoCOH , stated that the government concurred in the decision of the late ministry . not to grant aid to volunteer rifla corps . Tbe Enrl of SairTEsnuav moved an address to tbe

      Crown in fariher-ince "f the esmhlhltmcat of a state lunatic asylum for the custody of criminal lunatics ; but the Earl of Dehbt objecting , tlie nioiioa was , after some discussion , withdrawn . The house adjourned at seven o ' clock . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —In reply to a question from Lord Palinerston , the Chancellor of the Exchequer said , that tbe British government bad insisted tbat reparation should be made by the Tuscan government for the outrage inflicted npon Mr . Mather , at Florence , by some Austrian officers .-

      Mr . Hdue endeavoured to obtain information as to whether government would explain their financial plains before the close of the financial year—on the otlt April , but i vain ; the Chancellor of the Exchequer simply replying that due notice wonld be given of any financial statement be might think it his duty to make . Mr . Retkolos then moved a resolution , pledging the bonse to consider tbe losses sustained by the depositors in the Gaffe-street Savings Bank , with the * view to granting them compensation . The Chascellor of the Exchequer resisted the motion , on . the ground tb-afe the £ SO , 000 granted in 1850 was paid as a settlement of the question . Mr . H . Herbem advised Mr . Reynolds to withdraw the motion . Mr . Napier likewise recommended Mr . Reynolds not to press it to a division .

      Mr . Hume strongly advised Mr . Reynolds not to press tbe motion to a division , as bis doing so conld , at the present moment , lead to no good . . After some further discussion , Mr . Reynolds declining to withdraw the motion , it wis negatived upon a division by 3 against 40 . Mr . Slasey moved for leave to bring in a bill to legalise tbe formation of industrial and provident partnerships , the principal features of which he shortly explained . Mr- Waipole not objecting on the part of the government , leave wag given . The bouse was soon afterwards counted ont . FRIDAY , Mabch 19 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —The system of " worritting" tbe government into a dissolution was continued last night by the opposition in both houses . In tbe Lords the attack was led by

      The Duke of Newcastle who , in presenting a petition from the Manchester Commercial Association , deprecating the reversal of our present Free Trade policy , and praying tbat tbe country might be relieved from the state of anxiety prevailing as to the intentions of the government , dis . claimed all wish to offer anything like a factions opposition to tbe present government ; bnt nevertheless , until he should have a declaration from the First Minister of the Crown tbat be would not attempt to restore the Corn Laws , be mast withhold from the noble earl bis confidence and support . He wished to ask the noble earl if be intended to advise the dissolution of parliament with the least possible delay ? The Earl of Dxxbt declared his inability to discover any symptom of that anxiety and alarm which was said to agitate the public mind in consequence of the accession of ttie present government to power . He admitted , however ,

      tbat an . early settlement of tho commercial policy of the coantry , and of the still wider question *—Who was the man and what tbe principles by whom and on which the government of the country was to be hereafter conducted , —was extremely desirable , and he was therefore prepared to advise her Majesty to dissolve the present parliament as soon as tbe defence of tbe country was provided for , and the necessary business disposed of , in order that the future coarse of policy might be definitely settled in tbe course of the autumn . Iu the debate which followed no new point ot importance was elicited , if we except the fact tbat Earl Grey and tbe larl of Aberdeen expressed themselves satisfied with Lord Derby ' s answer , from which it may be iuferre * that these purely factious debates will not bereianwd in that bouse .

      Tbe Patent Law Amendment Bill wa * then jead % second time and ordered to be referred to a Select

      Committee . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The debate of tbe evening was preceded by explanations on various matters . Tho Home Secretary , in order to allay anxiety on the subject excited by Lord Derby ' s speech , announced that the government did not mean to propose a committee on the system of National Education in Ireland ; they wonld , however , not oppose a motion for that purpose if it did not contemplate any essential alteration in the principle of united education . Lord i . RcssEii again asked if it wm the intention of the government to advise her Majesty to dissolve the present parliament , as soon as regard to the service of her

      Monday, March 15. Irnr Sb Of Lords.—The ...

      Majestv would permit , so tbat the important measures deferred " by it might be submitted at the earliest possible period to the new parliament . Mr . Disrabli , after complaining that the question was unprecedented , said tbat it was the intention of the government to dissolve the present parliament as soon as the necesaatv roeasuteftbad been passed for the service of her Majesty and tbe security and good government of the realm . The wish and intention of tbe government was to meet the new parliament , so that its opinion on the question of confidence in the government and m its measures mi » ht be taken in tbe course of the present year Lord John returned to the assault by asking if Chancery Reform was included in these " necessary measures : but Mr . Disraeli did not feel himself called upon to give any

      further explanation . ... .. , With respect to the brutal outrage committee * by Austrian officers on Mr . Mather . Mr . Difflim S - ™' from the evidence taken upon tbe irquiry at Florence , it appeared that Mr . Mather had been hardly treated . Tbe inquiry had been fairly conducted , and m consequence of the conclusion co ¦«* to a demand had been made on the Tuscan Government for reparation . Tbe house then went into committee of supply , and Major Beresfobd moved the army estimates , which he stated were in all respects those which the late Government had prepared . The number of the land forces voted hist year was 93 , 742 ; this year tbe number proposed was 10 l , Jd 7 ; the charge of course was increased in proportion . The total increase in the effective branch was &}& , »& 1 ana »« tbe noneffective , a decreaseof £ 23 , 215 . The gross amount voted for this branch of the service last year was Ao , Jitf . oll , and the sum required for the service of the present year was £ 6 . 013 . 970 , being an increase of £ 84 , 429 , which was mainly attributable to the Kaffir war . He concluded by moving the vote for the number of men .

      Mr . H . Williams said there was no necessity for such a

      number of men . , Mr . Osbohsb prefaced a motion that the vote be refused , by a bitter attack upon the government as a whole , while he paid a high compliment to Mr . Disraeli . He rejoiced at his position , for he looked upon it as a tribute to the intellectual superiority of the age . that he was the leader of the aristocratic power in England ; and he well deserved his elevation at the hands of that party , for he it was who had infused new life into tbe dead body of protection . But this shuffling attempt at concealment was unworthy of him who , on a previous occasion , had declared that it was subversive of representative government for a ministry to conceal their policy from the House of Commons . He warned the farmers not to put too much trust in Lord Derby , they remembered tho conduct of hi

      ancestor in 1815 at Boswortb . The taint was in the blood and might show itself . If Lord Derby wished to avoid his government being hereafter known as tbe thimble-rig government , he would declare what he really intended to do , and not wait to seo which side was the strongest and then declare for that . Having in the course of his remarks strongly criticised some Irish appointments , he called up Mr Whiteside in defence , who in turn excited Mr . Hatchell to defend the Irish officers of the late ministry . In the subsequent debate Mr . Booker , Lord March , Mr . W . Miles , Mr . C » sley , Mr . Disraeli , the Marquis of Granby , and tbe Attorney-General , defended the course of the government . IU opponents Mr . Cobden , Mr . Cardwell , Lord J . Russell , Mr . Bright , and Coloael Thompson . Mr . Cobden attacked the landlords , and an altercation took place

      between him and Lord March , as to the rents on the Richmond estates , in which some point-blank contradictions were exchanged . The member for the West Riding said : He did not call upon the ministers to declare what course tbey meant to take ; this was for tbe majority of tbe house to decide . He appealed to that majority . If the house allowed a minority to govern it , npon the same principle it might allow a dictator to govern it . Let the men be voted , but he hoped tbe bou " . e wou'd have tbe firmness to take into its own hands the control of the public money . Upon every ground , the house was bound to bring the present Parliament to a close by constitutional means , in order that the question of Free Trade or Protection might be brought to a conclusion , which was due , not only to all classes in this country , but to the whole civilised fforld . the

      Mr . Miles stigmatised the conduct of Opposition as factious and ungentleinanly . Lord Jonx Rcssell said he was right in naming the Earl of Derby to ber Majesty , inasmuch as he was the leader of the largest party in the House of Commons . That government , however , had taken a course which could find no precedent in the history of this country since it became possessed of a representative constitution . The government proposed to go on in a minority without proposing any of its own measures , and without appealing to the country—a course which , he contended , was perfectly unconstitutional . Ho referred to the remarks which had been made by Lord Derby on his having invited his parliamentary friends to his house for the purpose of consulting them on the posture of public affairs , and said that the noble

      earl had repeatedly done the same thing , and he—a peerhad even directed * bis friends as to the course they should pursue as regarded the representation of the people in the House of Commons . He had only asked one individual to these meetings who had not been in tbe habit of attending his invitations to consultations in Downing-street during tbe last five years , and that one was his right hon . friend Sir J . Graham , whom he had previously more than once invited to j » in his government . He was , after all , tho inhabitant of a free country , and surely had as pood a risht to consult and invite his political friends as Lord Derby . The fact was , that having taken an extraordinary course tbey sought for every pretence to justify it . Ministers called for forbearance , but those whom they naked to forbear did not expect to bo treated ivith contumely and that

      all explanation would be refused thero . Lord Derby had tried to raise a new issue , that he was minister f n order to resist the encroachments of democracy . But he ( Lord John ) was not aware that democracy had made such dangerous advances in this country of late years . There had been attempts to stem democracy in past times , as the " Six Acts , " and tlnrv bad failed , while the milder policy of Mr . Canning and Sir . " R . Peel , which followed , had been successful . The change introduced by those statesmen had not been for the benefit of democracy , butfor tbe security of the monarchy and the authorities constituted by law . If Lord Derby contemplated laws opposed to the sentiments of the country , and attempted to enforce them by means of an extraordinary nature , he would not discourage but favour democracy . The Chancellor of the Exchequer congratulated the newly constituted opposition on their first motion , being

      one to stop the supplies . The government wonld meet them and divide with them on that issue . He justified the delay in dissolving parliament by Lord John ' s own statement on resigning , tbat it would not be wise to dissolve at the present time , and charged tbe noble lord with having repeatedly thrown np office , and combined with those who had opposed his government to regain power . The issue which would go to tho country was whether the country had confidence in the present ministry or not—whether tho agricultural interest believed that that ministry would do their utmost to redress the grievances of which tbey complained . If Lord Derby had a majority , he would not bring forward his measures for doing justice to agriculture at the end of the present parliament , seeing that there was a distinct pledge that the sense of the country would be taken on the subject . ...

      Mr . BaioHX reminded those who BOW complained of a factions opposition , of their own conduct when opposing tbe introduction of Free Trade , and of their professions against tbat policy , as justifying the opinion that their intention was-to endeavour to reverse it . If tbat was not their inten . tion , let them recant or go at once to the country . The debate at length terminated without a division , and the vote for the number of men was agreed to , tbe money charge for the same , £ 3 , 602 , 067 , being deferred to Monday , at the suggestion of Mr . Hume . The Priendly Societies Bill was read a second time , and tbe other business having been disposed of , the house rose at a quarter past one o ' clock .

The following intelligence is , it is stated , taken from an extra of the " Madras Athenaeum , dated February 13 , five a . m . : — " Renewed Hostilities with ihe Burmese . —The steamer , which reached Madras at half-past eight o ' clock , last evening , fell in with tbe Fire Queen , off tho Sandheads , on her way up to Calcutta . She brought intelligence of an notion between her Majesty ' s ship Fox and the Burmese , in which the former had three men killed , with vast loss on tbe part of the enemy . The Burmese are growing more arrogant and menacing in their tone , and evidently conrt a war with the British . The Ring , as we learn from the ' Englishman' of the 7 th inst ., bad mustered 20 , 000 troops in the neighbourhood of Hyook Phyoo , according to popular rumour , and there can be no doubt that whatever opinions may be entertained as to the origin of the war , we aro now fairly committed to a struggle which must end in tho absorption of the choicer portion of tbe Burmese territory .

      Minimum Rate Of Wages For Unskilled Labo...

      MINIMUM RATE OF WAGES FOR UNSKILLED LABOUR . TO THE EniTOR OF THE STAR . Dear Sir ,-In my last letter it was stated in what way I proposed that an " act of Parliament , " fixing the minimum rate of wages for unskilled labour , should operate , and some circumstances were mentioned which , Dr . Adam Smith shows , would justlv cause ihe nominal remuneration oflabourtovary in ' different employments . This subject ho pursues at greater length in the tenth chapter of his First Book—from which ( as I think it of groat importance that the working classes should clearly understand tins part of the subject ) I shall presently make copious extracts . I showed also in my last letter , by Adam Smith ' s testimony , heein labour shall . ... —^« . ««

      that the state of society wc advocate , wr , in practice , be the only standard and measure of value ; and wherein the remuneration of labour , shall be , the whole of the produce of labour , is the o ' nly natural state of society . Dr . Adam Smith further states , that this natural state of things could not . last beyond "The first introduction of the appropriation of land , and the accumulation of stock or capital , " in the hands of tho few , for the employment of the many . And this unnatural state of things , we may add , was made still mote unnatural and artificial by making gold and silver the standard of value , instead of labour ; by tbe introduction of interest on money and capital , and , still further , by the exaction of an enormous amount of taxation by Church and State , all of which are derived from the produce of the labour of the people ; Labour being the only source of wealth , the only fund from which these revenues are , or can , eventually be paid . Hence , it is everywhere seen that , though improvements have been continually made , and particularly during the dexte

      last century , by means of superior manual skill and - rity , by chemistry , machinery , and science generally , enabling each workman to produce by his day ' s labour , tenfold , one hundredfold , and oven one thousandfold more wealth , and of far better quality than could have been produced by his forefathers ; still , that the labourers , tbe mass of the people , in all civilised countries ( so-called ) , have always remained in the same semi-feudal , half-barbarous , oppressed , ignorant , and miserable condition in which we find them at present , and which their well-to-do neighbours continually tell them is the natural and inevitable lot of the groat majority of the labouring portion of every community , and . therefore , that it is their moral and religious daty to be therewith content . But Wm . Cobbett , who was a great friend and instructor of the working classes , used to say , " I hate tbe man tbat is poor and contented , there is no hope of bim . " No ! working men ! you must not be content as you are , but see , examine , and inquire for yourselves , whether your present be , or be not , your natural and inevitable condition . " The Bereatis were more noble

      than those of Thessalonica , in that tliey searched dail y and diligently , to see whether tbe things really were so . " You must go to the origin , and to the plain first principles of society , if you would understand true political economy ; and I , therefore , invite you , on the present occasion , to accompany me to the chapter referred to above , in Smith ' s " Wealth of Nations . " Our present nquiry , remember , is , that , supposing the minimum rate of wages for unskilled labour , to be fixed by law , on what principle shall we proceed in fixing the rate of wages for all other kinds of labour ? I would just remind the reader , that Dr . Adam Smith describes tbe state of different trades at the time lie wrote—via ., about tho year 1780 . Great changes have taken place in most trades since then , but the principles lie lays down do not change . They remain the same under all changes . The doctor says : —

      " The five following are the principal circumstances , which , so far as I have been able to observe , make up for a small pecuniary gain in some employments , and counterbalance a great one in others : —Firstly , the agrecableness or disagreeabloness of the employmentsthemselves . Secondly , the easiness and cheapness , or the difficulty and expense of learning them . Thirdly , the constancy or inconstancy of employment in them . Fourthly , the small or great trust which must be reposed in those who exercise them ; and , Fifthly , the probability or improbability of 8 UCC 638 in them . "

      " Firstly , the wages of labour vary with the ease or hardship , the cleanliness or dirtiness , the honourablenes or dishonourableness of the employment . Thus , in most places , take the year round , a journeyman tailor earns less than a journeyman weaver . His work is much easier . A journeyman weaver earns less than a journeyman Smith . His work is not always easier , but it is much cleanlier . A journeyman blacksmith , though an artificer , seldom earns so much in twelve hours as a collier , who is only a labourer , does in eight . His work is not so dirty , and is less dangerous . The trade of a butcher is brutal ; md odious , but , in most places , is more profitable than most trades . Hunting and fishing , the most important employments of mankind , in the rude state of society , become , in its advanced state , their most agreeable amusements , and they pursue , for pleasure what they once followed from necessity . In the advanced state of society , therefore , hunters , poachers , and fishers , who follow as a trade what other people pursue as

      a pastime , are all very poor people ; their labour is always cheap , " " Secondly . —The wages of labour vary with the easiness and cheapness , or the difficulty and expense of learning the business . If a man be educated at the expense of much labour and time , to any ' of those employments which require extraordinary dexterity and skill , the work which helearnstoperform . it must be expected , over and above the wages of common labour , will repla ce to him the whole expense of his education , with , at least , the ordinary profits of an equally valuable capital , and it muatdo this , too , in a reasonable time , regard being had to the very uncertain duration of human life . The difference between the value of skilled labour and common labour , is founded upon this principle . Education , in the ingenious arts , and in the liberal professions , is still more tedious and expensive ; the pecuniary recompense , therefore , of painters and sculptors , of lawyers and physicians , ought to be much more liberal ; and it is so accordingly . "

      «« Thirdly . —The wages of labour , in different occupation ? , vary with the constancy or inconstancy of employments . In the greater part of manufactures a journeyman may be pretty sure of employment every day throughout the year . A mason or bricklayer , on the contrary , can work neither in hard frost nor in foul weather ; and as his employment , at all other times , depends upon the occasional calls of bis customers , he is liable , in consequence , to bo frequently without any , What he-earnsi therefore , while he ia employed , must not only maintain him while he is idle , but make him some compensation for those anxious and desponding moments which the thought of so precarious a istuation must sometimes occasion . Where the computed earnings of the greater part of manufacturers accordingly , are nearly upon a level with common labourers , those of masons and bricklayers are generally from one half more to double those wages . No species of skilled labour , however , seems more easy to learn than tbat of masons and bricklayers . The high wages , therefore , of those workmen

      aro not so much the recompense of their skill as the compensation for the inconstancy of their employment . When the inconstancy of employment is combined with the hardship , disagreeableness , and distiness of the work it sometimes raises tbe wages of the most common labour above those of the most skilful artificers . The coalheavers of London exercise a trade which , in hardship , disagreeableness , and distiness , almost equals that of the colliers themselves , and from the unavoidable irregularity in the arrivals of coal-ships , the employment of the greater part of them is necessarilly very inconstant , and as a consequence , in the inquiry made into their condition , a few years ago , it was found , that , at the rate at which they were then paid , they could earn from six shillings to ten shillings per day . If their wages were found more than sufficient to compensate all the disagreeable circumstances of the business , the great number of competitors thoy would have to meet would quickly reduce them to a lower rate . "

      " Fourthly . —The wages of labour vary according to the small or great trust which must be reposed in the workmen . The wages of goldsmiths and jewellers are everywhere superior to those of many other workmen , not only of equal but of much superior ingenuity ; on account ot the precious materials with which they are entrusted . Again , we trust our health to the p hysician , our fortune . l and sometimes our life and reputation , to the lawyer and attorney . Such confidence could not safely be reposed in persons of a low and mean condition . Their reward , therefore , mast be such as may give them that rank in society which 80 important a trust requires . The long time and the great expense which must be laid out iu their education , when combined with this circumstance , necessarily enhance still further the price of their labour . "

      I would here add to what Dr . Smith says that for tbe above reasons foremen , clerks , book-keepers , cashiers , and managers , in manufacturing and other establishments , are justly entitled to a higher rate of remuneration for their time and labour than many even of the most skilful workmen . In establishments where the principals act wisely and prudently , they will generally choose the . lv auperinten . dents from among their most steady and talented workmen . andoheerfully pay them that extra remuneration justly due for auoh services . . This is now constantly done in the public Joint . Stock manufacturing corporations , as they are called , at Lowell , Manchester , Lawrence , Cabot , and many other places in the United States , where thoy hare laws which we very much require in England , enabling them to form Joint Stock Companies , with tbe responsibilty of the

      shareholders or partners , limited to the amount of their paid up j shares . Great numbers of working men have shares in these concerns , to govern which a general manager , and a cashier , auditors , and a board of directors are appointed at tho general or annual meetings of the shareholders . The manager calls meetings of tho directors , and consults with them from time to time as he thinks it necessary ; but absolute power is given to him to choose all his staff of inferior officers and foremen , to remove them and choose others at his pleasure , and to manage the establishment as though it were actually his o < vn , he being the only person directly responsible to the directors and shareholders for properly conducting the concern ; but the whole establishment and all books , papers , and accounts are

      required to be open and accessible at air reasonable times to the directors and auditors so as to enable them to see how the concern is going on , and to give a full and accurate report of it at the annual ob other general meetings of tho shareholders . The manager and directors are not generally removable at specified periods , but retain office so long as they give satisfaction to the company , but are removable at any time by the company or the directors for incompe * tency , misconduct , or mismanagement , when proved satistactorily to either of these bodies as the case may be : but such eases are comparatively rare , from the great cure taken in tbe selection of proper parties , and tho handsome salaries given . Many managers get from £ 1 , 000 to £ 2 000 per annum , which salary is not too much in such an office for men of first-rate abilities , But , besides their salariw .

      Minimum Rate Of Wages For Unskilled Labo...

      managers have generally many shares in the business they superintend , for which they of course receive their dividends . Workmen who have shares in the concern at which they are employed , have no special privileges on that account over their fellow workmen any more than they would have hero if they wero shareholders in a railway , and they are just as much subject to dismissal from employment by the manager ; and if the Amalgamated Iron Trades , or any other body of working men form co-operative workshops in England , for tho employment of their men , unless they act upon tho principle of choosing one man , of firstrate abilities and unimpeachable character , give him a good salary and ' full power to manage the c ncern , according to his own best judgment and experience , thus making him fully responsible for its proper management , I believe tbey neither can nor will euccced : all my experience leads me to mannrroi * ( 3 Yinva fvannwrtllv mn « i «* nUimn in ik / t KiiM ' nABn lli ***

      the conclusion that there can be no unity of purpose and unity of action in any business concern—which is so necessary to its success—unless there be one governing mind onlv , to which all others must ultimately submit . Thus is the ' principle acted upon at Lowell , and many other places in Democratic America , and its fruits have been eminent success and the acquisition of immense wealth . A dividend of ten per cent , profit to the shareholders is considered a small dividend—fifteen , twenty , thirty , and even more than that , annually have frequently been paid by these American corporations . This paragraph may be in some , measure a digression from the subject of this letter , but under this fourth head of Dr . Adam Smith , I thought it a favourable

      opportunity of introducing my opinions on co-operativo workshops . In carrying them out on this plan it will be lit once perceived tbat masters and workmen , here as in America , might at once most beneficially and cordially unito , and thus do away with the necessity for any other Trades ' Union . Hitherto , both masters and " men have lost sight of great first principles and the general permanent good of all in seeking to secure some supposed petty present advantages to individuals , ' sections , and small bodies of men , not stopping to consider that if the benefit of the whole can be obtained , that it includes that of each individual . We now proceed to consider Dr . Smith ' s fifth and last cause for a reasonable variation in the rate of wages .

      " Fifthly . — The wages of labour , in different employments , vary according to tho probability , or improbability of success in them . In a profession where twenty fail for one that succeeds , tbat one ought to gain all that should be gained by the unsuccessful twenty . To excel in any profession in which but few arrive at mediocrity , is the most decisive mark of what is called genius or superior talents . The public admiration which attends upon such distinguished abilities , makes always a part of their reward . It makes a considerable part of that reward in the profession of physic ; a still greater perhaps in that of law ; in poetry and philosophy it makes almost the whole . Some talents are very agreeable and beautiful ; but the exerciso of them for gain is considered , whether from reason or prejudice , as a sort of public prostitution . The pecuniary

      recompense , therefore , must be sufficient , not only to pay for the time and expense of acquiring them , but also for the discredit that attends their employment . The exorbitant rewards of players , opera-singers , opera-dancers , dsc , are founded upon those two principles . " To conclude , Dr . Smith says as follows at the end of this tenth chapter . — "The ^ S th Geo . III . prohibits , under heavy penalties , all master tailors in London , and five miles round it , from giving , and their workmen from accepting , more than 2 s . 7 ^ . a day , except in a case of general mourning . Whenever the legislature attempts to regub'te tho differences between masters and their workmen , its counsellors are always the masters . Whenever the regulation therefore is in favour of the workmen it is just and reasonable ; -but it is sometimes otherwise , when in favour of the masters . Thus the law which compels the masters to pay their workmen in money , and not in goods , is just and equitable . It only compels them to pay that value in

      money which they pretended to pay , but did not really pay , in goods . This law is in favour of the workmen , but the 8 th Geo . III . is in favour of the masters . When masters combine together , in order to reduce the wages of their workmen , they commonly enter into a private bond or agreement , not to give more than a certain wage , under a certain penalty . Were the workmen to enter into a contrary combination of the same kind , not to accept of a certain wage , under a certain penalty , the law would punish them very severely , and if it dealt impartially , it would treat the masters in the same manner . " The laws thus stigmatised by Adam Smith have of late years been greatly improved ; but equal justice is not even yet done in these respects between masters and their workmen , as was plainly proved in a late trial . In my next I intend to show how , according to Adam Smith , the Natural State of Society was superceded by the appropriation of land , and the accumulation of capital . I am , & o „ Liverpool .

      Railway Passengers' Assurance Company. T...

      RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE COMPANY . The report read at the last half-yearly meeting of this Company shows a steady and decided progress . The tickets issued during the six months ending December Slat , including all classes , amounted to 259 , 975 . The amount received for premiums during the same period was £ 4 , 197 2 s . 3 d ., being an increase of £ 1 , 0410 s . 6 d . upon the previous half-year , and making the total receipts for 1851 £ 7 , 35218 s . In the course of the half-year , the claims for compensation made and adjusted were , eight fatal cases , and eighty-five cases of personal injury ; and the entire number of claims met by payments since the formation of the company consist of ten fatal cases , on which an aggregate amount of £ 2 , 580 has been paid , and 184 cases of personal injury , tbe payments on which , in various sums , have amounted to £ 3 , 209 3 s ., n aking a total paid in compenaa .

      tion on 194 claims up to 31 st December last , of £ 5 , 789 St ., in addition to the eum of £ 324 los . 6 d . paid for medical expenses . So numerous have been the cases relieved that the effect is now manifest in the receipts , as even at this comparatively less active season of the year the weekly increase over the corresponding weeks of last year is considerable , inspiring the directors with increased confidence in the continued advance of the company in public favour and usefulness . One of the cases of personal injury during the last half-year , which was of a most severe character , and

      to which the directors awarded the sum of £ 150 as compensation , was upon a single journey assurance , for which Id . only had been paid as premium . This case will serve to demonstrate { as the directors are assured it has done in the sphere in which the unfortunate sufferer in this instance is known)—how beneficial such an institution as ^ this is to the public , and how much it deserves general support and encouragement . A dividend at the rate of four per cent ., free of income tax , for the half-year was declared , and a balance in hand of £ 1 , 91313 s ., was carried over to tho next half-year .

      Sir . J . D . Paul , the chairman , congratulated the share , holders on the state of their affairs . The principle on which the company is based was still novel , but it was no longer a mere theory , it was a fact , and must be judged by the number of cases actually relieved and benefitted by its operation . There had been several interesting instances this year of the benefit by insuring . A clergyman , who had taken only a penny ticket had been severely injured by a railway accident , and the company made over to him , without any hesitation , the sum of £ 150 . Another instance was in the case of a lady and gentleman living at Oxford , who were severely hurt in the unhappy affair at Bicester ; they had a monthly ticket which cost

      5 s ., by means of which they obtained £ 150 by way of compensation . A still more unfortunate case was that of a goods guard , who was killed on duty on the Edinburgh and Glasgow line . He left a widow and family under very distressing circumstances , but , as the man was insured in their company , his family received no less than £ 200 . Another case he might allude to was that of an engineer at Frodsham tunnel , who was seriously injured , but who was compensated by the company . All the claims against them had been arranged in the most satis , factory and harmonious manner , no occasion having yet occurred in which it was necessary to refer the matter to arbitration .

      The report was adopted , the retiringDirectors re-elected , and twenty guineas voted to a charitable institution entirely supported by commercial travellers , and the business closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman and Directors . The frequency of accidents on railways , and the easy terms on which the Company guarantees liberal compensation in case of injury , and a fixed mm should the result of any accident be the death of the sufferer , ought to secure to this Company the liberal support of all persons who either travel by ,- or are employed in , connexion with railways . In several instances the Directors of Railways have taken the prudent and enlightened step of insuring their engine-drivers stokers guards , porters , and other servants But there is still room for a large extension of these ini St - : ™ » ece 8 ?
