Conference Of The National Land Company....
CONFERENCE OF THE WATIONaT l i \ -n COMPANY . L LA D ( Gnttmttdfna Fmt Page ) of having a friend as the master u fa mm . „ . „ cratic argument . theallotteerw onlJft *? ™ L dem ?* to no one , but the diraefam ^ njt *» -wP «»! -W » those who elected « 2 ? n 2 i *» responsible to pro Msffion was forSf ^ * He . ^ nt Mr Clark ' s Sen 5 c £ med on pnnci Ple - . <•*••<» . mm . mStrfef ^ i conU nofc ¦» *•»* the appoint-S ? fon „ ^ , i . would lead to P » tronage ; if a w ^ Uno ; X ! aUottee 8 diBatMed he decided , y sh £ ri ™? r ? * t . ^ , P to centralisation , he KiT & r tte aUotteeshaving the appointment .

, mai £ mght n ° thold principles in unison with those ° " ^ company generally , and thus they might , inii . * g 00 < * ^ cuhweducation , havesectarianiim , and ie thoughtit would be readily admitted that the allottees were not so well qualified to judge of the qualification of the applicants as the directors ; hence he must support Mr Clark' s motion . Mr A . Ftjsseu , said , believing it to be most in accordance with universal suffrage , he should vote for the allottees having the appointment of the schoolmaster , and he thought tbey would be well calculated to form a judgment on the subject . Mr Sandebs ( Blandford ) would support the motion of Mr Clark .
Mr Taylor would support the motion that the allottees should select . Mr Smith ( Bradford ) would support the motion of Mr Clark . Mr Hoils would support Mr Clark ' s motion . Mr Minmxn wonld support the motion that the directors have the appointment . Mr Edwards would support Mr Clark ' s metion . Mr S . Ktdd , said he had not troubled them with a speech at the opening , as he had expressed his opinions yesterday . He thought it was a simple principle that the allottees should both have the right to
choose and depose . He then entered into an argumentative speech in refutation of the objection * urged aginst his motion , and said that it had been admitted that the people of Scotland were entirely in favour of his motion , which he had moved in accordance with the wishes of an English constituency . The question was then ant , and Mr Clark ' s amendment declared to be carried by alarge majority . The next question arising from the programme , was ' The time when theBchoolmaaters should be appointed for O'Connorville and Lowbands / It was nnimonsly resolved , That this be left with tbe directors . '
Mr Bkattie appeared to make a complaint relative to a family ticket , which he alleged was improperly madeont at the ballot before the last , upon which it was resolved tbat a committee of five be appointed to consider such case , and report to Conference . The following persons were appointed : —Messrs Robert Kidd , A . Fussell . Rushton , J . Shaw and Hewitt . M * 0 'Connob then submitted the next question on the programme relative to 'Benefit Societies . ' Mr Wbbkub moved that the next business on the programme be proceeded with , which was seconded and carried .
' The Appropriation of Rents' was then discussed . Sir O'Coshob said , there were little bits on all estates not so valuable as others . If left to him , he would charge in accordance with their value ; and on the Lowbands estate there were some acres worth £ 40 an acre , and others worth £ 60 , and these must pay proportionately . He proposed tbat the allotments be given to the allottees on their real value , allowing five per cent , interest . Mr Whebikb moved , 'That Mr O'Connor be allowed to regulate the rentals charged . ' Mr Shaw seconded the motion .
Mr Wibb moved , 'That two practical farmers , two labourers , and Mr O Connor , constitute a jury of arbitration to decide on the matter . ' Mr Grassbt seconded Mr Webb ' s amendment . Mr O'Cosxob could see no objection to it . Mr Wheeler ' s motion was carried , and tbe Conference adjourned . Afternoon Srrxnra . Mr J . Swbst resumed the chair , at half-past two . The Discosmon ok the Pboobamme was then proceeded with ;
Mr O'Conkob bringing forward his Assurance Proposition , and stating it could be worked out with as much ease as tbe Bank ; he thought it would be reproductive . The Policy being low . would be the inducement for people to insure their property and lives . If they thought well , himself and brother directors would get . all the information necessary , and sei the thing going with all dispatch . Mr Donovan supported the proposition , and thought the directors wonld do well to carry it out as speedily aa possible , and sure he was , that it would go on eves with more rapidity than the Land Plan . Mr Hasdisg moved : — 'That the Company establish an Insurance Office upon the best computed tables hitherto devised , and that the property of the Company be insured therein , and that stock , with lives , be eligible for insurance . ' Mr Linnet seconded the motion .
Mr Wheeler supported the motion , as did also Mr Mibfield . Mr Shaw was favourable to the insurance of lives and live stock , but was opposed to fire insurance . Mr Doyle did not think the allottees wonld burn their houses for , the sake of the insurance . Mr Wheeler said his friend Shaw seemed to think that people would burn down the houses and furniture , for -the purpose ef getting yalue for one naif , ( loud laughter . ) After a few words from Mr Jddb , the question was put and carried unanimously . The Conference then adjourned . Thursday , August 19 th . MrSwssr resumed the chair at half-past sine o ' clock .
Tnx Cburuis , on behalf of tha Finance Committee , reported thatthe accounts had been kept in a systematic manner , and were correct . He read the following report : — 'We , the undersigned delegates , representing large constituencies in various parts of the kingdom , appointed as a Finance Committee by the Land Conference which commenced its sittings at Lowbands , in Worcestershire , on Monday , August 16 th , 1847 , having carefully examined the accounts of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., Treasurer to the Company , together with all Vouchers , Bank Books , and Exchequer-Bill accounts for the same , hereby declare that we have found such
accounts correct . ' We cannot allow the present opportunity to pass without giving to Mr O'Connor our heartfelt thanks , for his manly defence of our principles under all circumstances , and also for bis unexampled labours in behalf of the members of this Company : we sincerely hope that he may long live , and receive that which he so well deserves—the blessings of a grateful people . Having also examined the accounts of Mr Thomas Martin Wheeler , our late financial secretary , and those of Mr Philip M'Grath , our present financial
secretary , we find all their accounts perfectly correct , and have much pleasure in tendering , in the name of our constituencies , our best thanks to both those gentlemen for the able manner in which they have discharged their arduous duties . In conclusion , we have great pleasure in informing the working classes generally , that / Tbe Land and Labour Bank , ' is now established npon a firm basis , and we respectfully call upon every body ot working men throughout the kingdom to render that Bank every assistance in their power .
Onward and we conquer . ' The People ' s Charter , and no Surrender ! Signed by themembersofthecommittee—J . Sbaw , Tower Hamlets ; W . Dixon , Manchester ; J . A . Fussell , Birmingham : Joseph Hewitt , Leeds ; Duncan Sherrington , Glasgow ; Robert Burrell , Greenock ; William Edwards , Newton Abbott , and Teignraonth ; David Rice Morgan , Merthyr ; James Sweet , Nottingham , Chairman . The report was received with great applause . Mr O'Conxob then rose and gave an analysis of the balance sheet , stated that £ 2 , 000 deposit was paid on the Mathon Estate , and £ 900 on the Minster ; and tbat the stock of available capital on Land was £ 34 , 600 . He had shown tbe committee his accounts and banker ' s books up to last Saturday . In his balance sheet he had not charged one farthing for any personal expenses of his own . As respected Messrs Wheeler and M'Grath , he was happy to say
that their accounts were correct . He had never had a difference with Mr Wheeler on money affairs , nor had he ever advanced a fraction to Mr Wheeler to enable him to makeup hisacoounts . He thought his balance sheets and accounts showed that hohad cabinet work as well as field work to do ( hear , hear ) , and he fearlessly asserted that no merchant ever presented such an account . Mr O'Connor resumed his seat amidst much applause . Mr J . Sh aw said , he had previomly imagined tbat Mr O'Connor received his expenses for seeking out to view estates , but he had found thatnoi a farthing for such purpose was charged : Mr DaoK stated , that it was the Finance Com * mittee ' s wish that Mr 0 « Conn er should bo paid , but he refused . He ( Mr D . ) nevertheless hoped tbat the members would present Mr O'Connor with a piece of plate , similar to that presented to Mr Duncombe . ( Cheers . )
Mr J . A . Fosseu , , coincided with the observations made by Messrs Shaw and Dixon . Mr Whkxub said , his . balanee sheet left something in his favour , and he felt that he had served them honestly and faithfully . Mr Edwabm said , it afibrded bim conaidtrable pleasure to heat witness to tha correctness of the accounts . Mr Webb moved , and Mr CAiBaarosKeonded .

w 10 FBAKGUS O'CONNOR E »< j „ . V . Sr * , —Inopporitlon to your often repeated determina-Um aotto receive presents , we have ventured to intrude t * a ( 8 pon yon , in thehtunble hope that the circumstance xjiia which it ii presented will fadace you to lay aside ftr once your item decree , mad accept from jonrchiljrea of this branch of the LandCompany , the aeeompanyjog article as a alight testimonial of affection and esteem , and si a mark of the great respect we entertain of your jigh moral worth , your unflinching advocacy of popular xight * . and as the father and founder of our glorious Tjnd Company . The accompanying piece of workmanship is the production of one of labour ' s most oppressed children , a framework , knitter , who , to relieve himself from themU-ryanddegradaUontowhichclasslegislation
» ad giant monopoly has reduced him , laboured during fcl » spare time , for several months , in the hope that it would give him the means of hecoming a member of that Company of which you are the projector , and take frirn from the ranks of the slave , and place him iu the condition of a freeman . The shareholders of this branch iave become thepurchasers , and knowing your generous dis position and willingness upon all occasions to stretch oat * helping hand to those who need it , thought { that though it was a trifle in itself ) it would be an acceptable testimonial to yoi , whose time and energy is devoted to coecour the oppressed wherever they may be found . We , therefore , hope this small request will not bare- ' fasti . Silent as we are on general occasions when the troice of the country speaks forth in your praiseor
sym-, pathises with yon , when your enemies and detractors attempt to shake the confidence which the people have re . posed in yon , and which you hare so nobly won , we teg to assure you , that in no part of the kingdom have jou a more attached body of adherents or one possessing more confidence . Tour great victory at Nottingham ire ban with rapture ! A glorious moral achievement gained by you and shared in by the unenfranchised aasses . Yon , sir , have justly observed that yon have laid down the prejudices of your time . Yon , the stigmatised , persecuted , derided , felon-branded firebrand , lave lived to see those glorious principles which yon bare so ably advocated , and in the agitation of which f on have suffered so much , called respectable . Chartism echoes and re-echoes from one end of the land to
the other ! Charthm < the reviled , degraded , obnoxious Chartism ! will be obliged to be heard and acknowledged in that House of winch yon are no mean member . And , we doubt not , the day is not far distant when the sub . lime and wholesome truths contained in tha Peoples * Charter will not only be acknowledged , bat must and 1 * 01 be conceded , not as a boon , but as a measure of sight and justice . Already are the factions preparing to stop tho torrent that will open upon them , but their ¦ pigmystrength will avail them nothing . As well might "they attempt to check the mighty ocean in its wild career ,
as to stop the onward march of progress , now halting and gathering strength at every step , until , whirlpool , 'like , it sweeps away every obstruction in its ceurse , and leaves not a vestige of the tyranny and oppression wrought by man against his brother , and which has ¦• oiled and rendered miserable tbe fair and beautiful ¦ earth created by a bountiful and benefirdent being . The -sight it already pasted ! the morning has dawned land our fond hope is that you who have straggled and fought » nobly in the great cause of which we are bumble supporters , may live to see the end attained . Those will be grand moments for yon who have led the triumphant masses from the beginning , and have conducted them to S peaceful and moral victory . Then yon may proudly exclaim , 'Prejudice and Intolerance have I conquered , and the Oppression of ages will I bury in the dust . '
And be assured , sir , your name will be handed down to -posterity as one of the really grest , not such greatness -as is attributed to the Alexanders the Caiars and the ¦ band of mighty murderers who have infested the world -from time to time , making creation groan , and taming the fair fields of nature into one wholesale slaughterhouse ^ rev eUog m human butchery , and making earth tremble with their blackening deeds . No , sir , we wished not to associate your name with such as these—men who deluged earth ' s fair creation with tbe blood of their ¦ fellow men , ravaged tbe earth with fire and sword , -breaking the hearts , and carrying terror and dismay among thousands wherever they turned , not sparing unprotected woman or smiling innocence , and whoia spoils were the crashed liberties and plundered rights of de-- ¦ fenceless nations . No , sir , we believe that , Tbe drying np a single tear has more
Ofhonest fame than shedding seas of gore . ' j Toxir name will be found among that band of nobler spirits , who have sought to elevate mankind , taught them to cultivate tbe arts of peace , and how to live asefully and justly . And when you shall be called upon to render an account of your stewardship before tbat great judge before whom all must hew , yon will leave behind yon a memorial of your greatness as enduring as time itself . Forty thousand free and happy lomes will be a monument of your goodness , more eloquent than language can describe , and more lasting than marble or bronze . Our children's children will chaunt -four praise . Your memory will be enshrined in the ioarts of millions , as the enemy of the persecutor , aud as ike friend and indomitable defender of the persecuted .
We now , sir , tender our poor acknowledgements for 'de great services yon have rendered us , and eur fervent -wish is , that you may have health , strength , and long life , so that yon who nave sown the seed may reap the -harvest .

Lkdb . —Rsmmpiios Socimt . —On Wednesday evening week , a meeting of the above society took -filaco in the large room connected with Hall ' s Tem-. perance Hotel , Heaton ' s-yard , Brijrgate . Mr D . Green was called to the chair , who stated that the object of the meeting was to inform the members ¦ that an exceedingly auspicious event had occurred -since he last had the pleasure of addressing them , which was nothing less than the gift of an estate -worth £ 5 , 000 , by agentieman in Sonth Wales . Tbe estate consisted of 223 acres of land of excellent -quality , which is proved by the heavy crops now . growing won it- It is situated in Carmarthenshire , and from its proximity to good roads , a canal , coal within 800 yards , which might be conveyed down an
"inclined plane to the estate , and with iron , lime , and stone in the immediate neighbourhood , rendered it -extremely desirable for the establishment of a community . After stating the immense advantages a commiinity of property had over other forms of society , and its influence in advancing the science « f cultivation , he called upon Mr Hole to move the first resolution , sanctioning tbe acceptance of the estate . Mrflole was strnck with tbe extreme generosity evinced by the donor , and thought that such conduct ought to be emulated by all present . He would , however , caution the members in not placing the society in a false position , which would be the case it they merely voted withouteaeh using his best exertions to raise a competent sum . The donor
¦ oughtnofc to be trifled with , and therefore urged each -one present to do bis best . Everything depended -jpon energy and determination . If the principles 'which they advocated were true , they were most im-. portan t , and it was a point of duty to ourselves and mankind to spare no exertions to realise them . The meeting was afterwards addressed by Messrs Garside , Smith , Eggleston , West , and Hobson . Sub-: 3 Cription 3 were then entered into , which amounted -to £ 150 , to be paid by instalments . Thanks were given to the chairman and donor , and the meeting terminated at half-past ten o ' clock .

The jury quite agreed with the coroner . They observed [ three cesspools inthecoart » which emitted a dreadful stench . JlrLiddle , one of the surgeons of the WMtechapel union , stated that he was glad that the attention of the jury had been drawn to the state of that court , as fever wasspreadingin that neighbourhood to an alarming extent . There was not a court , lane , or allev between Rosemary-lane and the London Bocks butinwhieh in nearly every house there was fever .
A day or two ago he attended six cases in one court , andinone week he had sixty new cases . The foreman remarked thatthey bad been a long time promised a sewer , and that from the quantity of filth collected the atmosphere was always affected .

The Queen's Visit To Scotland. •Her Illu...
THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND . Her Illustrious Majesty' and ' Field-Marshal ' Prince Albert are just now pic-nicing in Scotland , giving occasion for tbe fooleries nsual on such occasions . On her way to ' the land o ' cakes , ' the Queen ' honoured' the land of leeks with a passing call . On Sunday the ' royal squadron' reached Caernarvon . The Queen did not land , but Prince Albert paid a visit to the Menai Suspension Bridge .
'Her Majesty appeared on deck and took a sketch of the bridge . She was plainly attired in a black dress , straw bonnet , and brown veil ; and the two royal children were seen playing around her . She was hailed by hearty cheering , moderated by the fact only that it was Sunday ! ' Goodness gracious I The squadron moored for tbe night off Puffin Island ; the Queen having been previously presented with a veryjju'T & i- ' " address" from the Mayor of Caernarvon .
On Monday the squadron arrived at the Isle of Man . 'Her Majesty did not land at the island , which was a source of great disappointment to many persons who had anticipated the honour ot a royal visit . ' The governor of the island went out to meet her Majesty , and presented an address from the inhabitants , but we understand the royal fleet had got in motion before he succeeded in coming up with it , and consequently failed in his mission . " Alas ! poor noodle ! We take the following extracts from the' Morning Chronicle ' : —
Gbeenock , MexDAT . Evebiko . —This has been a day of sad disappointment in the Clyde . It is evening now , and not only is there bo Queen , but no sign of her coming . The forty thousand sightseers who left Glasgow this morning are crowding back as fast as railway carriages will convey them , or quarreling in Greenock for the few pounds of beef steak or mutton chop which had survived the mighty demand of hungry pleasure parties ; while tbe halt
hundred steamers which this morning started from the Bromielaw , gay with flags and garlands , are paddling disconsolately homewards , having been unable in their long day ' s cruise to descry the royal fleet , ' because 'twas not in sight . ' Dozens of steamers have lost a day ' s plying , thousands of people have lounged for a livelong twelve hours under a burning sun—but in vain . —[ Finn Sillt Bodies U On tbe Glide , Tdesdat AmRNoes .
Yesterday I had little but disappointment te write about ; te-day fogs , mists , and vapours . Notwithstanding , the Queen is in the Clyde . Itis understood thatthe royal squadron passed last night in Loch Ryan , whither one or two of the most adventurous river boats managed to attain ; this enterprising portion of the Glasgow sqnadron being headed by the Thetis—the crack boat of the Clyde—freighted with the whole array of the Glasgow bailies , and a perfectly fabulous number of bottles of champagne , whereof . Iwhen rumours were yestejrday circulated ,
certain thrifty cifeens , who had not oeen invited , spoke in terms of great and virtuous indignation , as a 'gross an' wilfu' wastry o the ceety and the corporation feunds . * The above reporter gives a long account of the vast turn-out by land and water , of Foola who came to make , or see the ihow , ' for which we cannot afford room . After paying due respect to the rook of Dumbarton , tho Queen paid a visit to Loch Long , returning from which , the sqnadron stood away in tho direction of Rothesay Bay . .

" Union Fortheuuuon." The Above Motto Is...
" Union fortheUUUon . " The above motto is one which , if adoptsd by the trades in general , ' will greatly assist in improving u-w [ condition of the people , and without which , they will ever be the slaves of a class , whose desire is to continue the principle and practice of serfdom . B y disunion the men of all countries and climes are kept in a state of poverty , wretchedness , and misery ; which , if they only knew their own strength , never could be tolerated—or could oppression reign triumphant;—but , as the poet says , we hear a little bird singing- ' By and by the people will he stronger . ' e ¦
This Association is one that requires time to grow and strengthen . It is yet but the acorn bulging forth from the earth , which , in after times , will spread its branches over the injured and oppressed part of the community . Its foliage will protect the weak from the burning touch of the oppressor ' s rod , and give new life and vigour to the sons of toil . The trades must not expect impossibilities—the world was not made in a day , or science fully appreciated . The Association is yet in a state of embryo , yet what wonders it has effected—it has been the means of alleviating distress , and withstanding the proud man ' s blast . It has healed the wounds of the afflicted , and given succour to the oppressed .
It has filled up tbe breaches that have been caused by the rashness of parties who could effect no reconciliation among themselves . It is the peacemaker—not the warrior—it seeks not to destroybut build up—it hates hatred , and abhors maliceits aim is justice to all , injustice to none . But to effect all , time must be given .- It is like ourselves ; it must be well nursed , before it will be able to withstand the epidemic diseases men and associations are subject to in their infancy . Bad nursing produces deformity and general weakness ; this we must avoid , and especially when poverty stalks through the land , apparently in triumph , over honest industry .
Therefore , we do hope that the trades themselves will assist us in giving sufficient nutriment , and prevent heavy burdens being placed upon the Association at one time . It is not policy to go to war with the whole world at once , but a wise general would concentrate his forces upon one or more points , according to the number of his men—for it is easy to take an army into the field—but , in many cases , a dangerous experiment . We are already affording assistance to many persons who are suffering , from some shape or other , under the lash of great capitalists ; and we must support them until reason , rules , and justice is administered .
One large firm in the north of England seeks to crush the poor , but unity of purpose and of action will prevent his wily schemes being brought to perfection . We do not court his favours—but we are sorry that his obstinacy should be the better part ot his valour . We do not desire him to act differently to other men , and , if he thinks so , he is grievously mistaken . We want justice for the men , and his own rights and privileges protected . 'Property has its duties as well as its rights 'two great principles which should not be violated . If the rights of capital attempt to supersede its duties , it is nothing but justice tbat an intermediate power should step in between them as mediators , and harbingers of peace .
Solomon says there is a time for everything—let us hope the time is come for a settlement of the difference between the Manchester employer and bis workmen . Again we say PEACE , but on honourable terms .
HOLYTOWN EJECTMENTS .-OPPRESSION RAMPANT . Working men of Great Britain andjlreland—2 , 000 of your fellow-creatures are suffering the deepest misery at Holytown , Thankerton , and surrounding villages .

The families deprived of a home to shelter them from the pitiless storm ; yes , turned out of their homes , men , women , and children , nothing but tbe cold earth for a pillow and Heaven ' their only canopy .
The ruthless hand of oppression has fallen upon them like the sword of death ; yes , many would prefer death to such treatment . What is their offence ? Because tbey will not tamely submit to a reduction of Is . per day . Tbe question is with you , you the operatives of all trades and of all classes , it is in your hands , will you allow it , or will you allow the men , their wives , and their little innocent babes to suffer ? forbid it men , forbid it people . ' Baird's-square , ' or Thankerton , which is
surrounded with beautiful scenery , is desolate , the whole of the inhabitants with the exception of the sick have been ruthlessly ejected . Will you give them no succour ? no relief ? We hope you will .

An Appeal to the Central Committee of the above Association to tho Trades of Great Britain , in behalf of the Minsrs of Holttowjs , Scotland . .
Woming Mmf , A strike of an important character occurred among the miners of Holytown some eight wreks ago , which has not yet been adjusted . The cause of the said strike ia briefly as follows : —On the 29 th of May last , the iron masters of Lanarkshire gave notice to ] their workmen that in 'four wests' . they intended taking one shilling per day off thgjr wages . This reduction the miners conceived to be unjust , and therefore determined to resist it , for the
following reasons : — 1 st , Because when tbey obtained as advance of wage * , it was reluctantly given them in small sums at a time . Sndly , Because the reduction in the prices of iron did not warrant any such reduction in their wages . It would appear the employers had caloulated . that from the high price of the pravisioii market , and the scarcity of toodin Scotland * that the miners would be compelled to subir . it to any terms that were offered , them . In this , howevoi , they havo been disappointed . On the 26 th of Juno , ( the day on which the warn ings were carried into effect , ) the miners , to the numbers of nearl y 2000 , in the Holytown district , turned out , ( 00 of whom belenged to , and were clear members of the National Association of United Trades .
Mr Peel , a member of the Central Committee , visited tho miners of Holytown at ths commence * ment of their strike , and , accordina to appearances at that period , an arrangement seemed certain , which is the reason tho Central Committee did not at an earlier period bring the cue before the public . The miners were willing to wake a small concession for the sake of peace ; but the employers would not come to anv other terms than tbat which they at
first proposed , although the price of iron has risen considerably in the ' market since the commencement f the strike , end ' m order to compel tho workmen not only to accent the proposed reduction of wages , but also to re ' jtounce all union , these powerful capitalists bVi recourse te the extraordinary and cruel measure * u ejecting the poor colliers , their wives , children , and furniture , from their dwelUng-hsuses ; and Wj leas than About 800 families in tbo Holytown district wore thus turned out to tho mem of the

weather . This unchristian « like conduct . ot the employers has stimulated the Central Committee to take np the oauwof these oppressed men , aB \\ to do all in their power to enable them to obtwa an honourable adjustment of their claims . The Central Committee , therefore , earnestly call upon the trades generally to come forward in aid of these ill-used , but brave men , who have been eight weeks out of employment , and four weeks out of their homes . < To those trades who are connected with the National Association , the Central Committee would submit that , unless they wish to see the strong arm
of the-capitalist lop off one of the best branches of the Association , they will immediately forward , not only subscriptions ; in aid of their deserving brethren of ^ Holytown , but immediately remit their arrears to the funds of the Asseciation . The Central Committee beg also to express a hope , that these trades who do not belong to the Association , will testify their abhorrence of the tyranny to which the miners have been subjected , by forwarding their subscriptions to the Central Committee , in order thatthey may enable the miners to maintain their position , and eventually bring their present strike to a satisfactory and honourable close .
The number of miners on strike in the Holytown district is 2 , 000 . The number belonging to the National Association is 500 , and the number of families ejected are 800 . m It is deserving of remark , that not one individual out of the whole number have signed the ' Dock m * nt , ' or given way to the terms of the employers ; but all remain firm to their cause , amid the
privation which they must necessarily have to endure . It is particularly requested that tho officers of all trades' societies will take the most active means of bringing this appeal before their respective bodies , with a view of immediately raising funds to alleviate the distress of the miners , and teach the capitalists that' Property has its duties as well as its rights . ' Remember , friends , what is their fate to-day , may be yours to-morrow . Be up and doing , for delays are dangerous .
By order of the Central Committee , Thomas Barratt , Secretary . AH monies to be forwarded to the Association , No . 11 , Tottenham-court-road , London ; and made payable at the Bloomsbury Post-office , to Thomas Barratt . The Central Committee of the United Trades ' Association met as usual during the week , but are very sorry to say illness has prevented their honourable President from presiding , in which case Mr Green took the chair . A mass of correspondence has been received , and tbey trust that those parties who have not yet been answered , will allow a day or two in consequence of the heavy business of the week—and a portion of the Central Committee being out in the country on business of great importance .
Edinbukgh . —Mr W . Robson , member of the Central Committee , attended here during the last week on a question of vital importance , connected with the independence of the people and the rights of union . For some time the Plumbers' Society , in connection with the association , considered they were working below the market price of labour in that locality , consequently solicited their employers for a small advance of wages and a settlement of other grievances , a part of which tho masters acceded to , while other parts they strenuously opposed , —and determined , no doubt , in the beat of passion , to discharge , and for ever abandon , all workmen who belonged to trades' societies .
This resolution they carried into effect for three weeks , without the remotest chance of an amicable adjustment . In this state of affairs tbe Central Committee of United Trades despatched Mr Robson here , who , by his timely interference aud manly demeanour towards all parties , has effected an adjustment of the principal grievances they complained of , much to the satisfaction of all concerned . No person can imagine the gratification expressed on
the settlement of this knotty point . The trades here are indebted to tbe Central Committe for the truly honourable manner in which they acted in this matter—although there were many difficulties in the way for some time , in consequence of a misunderstanding between the parties concerned . After settling some other business , Mr R . started for Glasgow and Holy Town , where it is hoped he will be equally as successful in his usefulness to society . Messrs Green and Winters attended the
hearthrug makers of the borough of Southwark , on Tuesday evening , and explained the objects , principle s , and constitution of tbe association . Several questions were asked , and satisfactorily answered . They agreed to join the association . Mr Peel reported having attended a public meeting in the large room iu the Bazaar , Briggate , Leeds , on Tuesday evening . The meeting had been postponed in consequence of the excitement created by the election . The large room was densely crowded . The chair was taken a few minutes after eight by Mr Ilinchcliffe , tailor , who , after an
appropriate address , introduced Mr Peel , who was greeted with much applause . He entered into alengthened explanation of tbe principles and ob > - jects of the association , showing its applicability to every class and section of working men , demonstrated by illustrations drawn from his own experience as to its great moral influence in preventing , or amicably adjusting , disputes between employers and . employed , and augured from past successes a progress distinguished by tbe most important and beneficial results to its members . He concluded an address which was listened to with the greatest ; attention amidst general applause .
He attended on the 12 th a meeting of the mechanics , in the large room connected with Hall's Temperance Coffee House , a most respectable and selec * , though not a numerous meeting , assembled , to hear the principles , and to receive such explanations as might be calculated to remove any mistakes or prejudices existing in that important body of men respecting the National Association , and the presumed advantages , they „ as a trade , were likely , to receive by enrolling themselves in ita . ranks . He then went at length into the question , and endear voured to show the mutual dependence , of all trades upon each other ; he showed that ths present ten ? dene ? to depress and keep down the wages oi
laboar , and the present action of machinery hy glutting the labour market , must inevitably , in . a short time , be seriously felt , even by those skilled trades who at present fancied themselves comparatively secure , —nay , he considered . that already , the unavoidable agencies of a superabundant lahpur market had been seriously felt in many prteoi their important body . He particularly alluded ) ta the recent attempt of the Mes » s Jones and Potts to swamp their trade by fillirjg their sbop , s with adult apprentices , and that the only rational , remedy for this growing evil w * s a determined , effiart of all trades , rich and poo- high and low ,. ski ! ied and unskilledwhich they , had the paver ,, to , unite
, in one holy confederation u first to protect the more defenceless from the further encroachments , of capital ,, and then to strike a ; it new paths inmaaufacture ^ and agricul ture fos-the absorption of the surplus , labour which no _ w threatens , to . , overwhelm evsry department of industry in one common ruin . Mr Peel ' s explanatioas > and arguments , appeared to g ive general satisfaction , as onfy one ; person presented himself as an opponent . . This , gentleman said be was oppos & di to the National . Trades on principle . He objected in toto to the : principles of strikes , and considered that isonev so expended was money absolutely ; thrown away ; . lie : objected to the mechanics having anything to do wish an association
which encouraged by supporting strikes . He said , it was opposed to one of their fundamental laws ,, and showed that in tbe case of Jones and Potts , n . p part of their capital of : £ 25 , ( 190 had he ussdjin , support of that strike . Mr P . assured that gentleman , that tbe- National Trades was as much opposed , to strikes , as he could possibly , be , but at tbe .-. same time ,, in dealing with a great ! aud universally , adrnjlled . evil , took the only , consistent and rationalco'irse of proceeding , that of gradually building . , ud . machinery , by which the detestable system of strikes would eventually be rendered impossible . . He observed further , * that the . mechanics , however opposed to strikes , were , as in the instance previously
alluded to , forced into , it against the « wall * and found it necessajry , in direct violation of theix principle , to j support it by pecuniary assistance , it was true ,, their capital was not encroached upftn for this purpose ; but their members were called upon for ; a very heavy levy , and the sympath y and assistance of other trades was solicited to enable them successfully to resist the oppressive proceedings o ( Jones and Potts . And how , in the . meantime , vt « their large capital employed—lent out at a paltw interest of perhaps 3 per cent , to some other Jones and
Potts , to oppress and tyrannise some , other body of defenceless working men ? If tVaft large capital had on this occasion been employe ^ by themselves , to place these men of Jones and , potts , even on a small scale , at reproductive labyur , either in manufactures or agriculture , the nrjral effect of such an example would havo been incalculable . This interesting kind of discussion was continued for some time , but in the best possible spirit . Several questions to elicit further information were asked by other parties , vffaen a , resolution was put Batano : ther general meeting of the trade should be called to discus * amongsU tbemselve * tho propriety of

[ Those trades belonging to the Association who hgve not received copies of the last quarter ' s ha « lan . ee sheets , & c , may obtain the same by sendingtheir address to the Office of the Association ; and those frafe * who w « h to he supplied with cards and rules , will please give their orders for the numbers they reqsfrev
HAN Msy .- "Mr Humphries attended here on Monday to adjoeft the differences which exist between the crate makers and theb- employers . It has been the custom iinthis branch of the trade'for masters to hire their Men at Mart 3-r-mass > for the year , at certain rates of wages , which governed the price * for that perioi' ; : but in th * trade , as in others , some were disposed'to pay less- for labour than the generality of masters . The men haw patiently waited for some time ,. and now feel determined to
be placed on an e-pali & y with tteir . fellow workmen in other shops . A * meeting of the master crate makers was held at the Blue Bells ,, who evinced a desire that the men should receive their fall wages , but stated that if they gave it , they could ' not allow the same discount on the goods as has bees customary ; but it would "ds better that the men should receive fair wages thaw the coffers of the weaJJhy should be further enriched , We Kopethemasters concerned will pay the same price as others .

S . Buncombe , M . P . ' ) . wou ! fl < have been such as to have allowed of his presiding , but we regret to say that the honourable member for Finsbury is still in such a state tbat his medical advisers forbade him making the least exertion .

Our correspondent adds— 'The above is issued'by a factory master in Manchester . When-he givea-tho card : to the workers , he says , 'If you loose this card ,, or show it to any one , I will give you twelve months ' imprisonment . '" Dbebtshijib Glove Hakds . —Inconsequence of an attempted reduction in the sillc glove branch i by Messrs Brettles , of Belper . A meeting was-held at the New Inn , Duffield , of tho masters and journeymen , to consider the best means to be adopted ta counteract the same . After passing resolutions to support the men employed by them , it was unanimously resolved to apply to the press . We beg leavo to state to the public , through youc invaluable ' paper , the champion of the people ' s ' rights , -, the true
nature and cause of this dispute . A tew weeks smco one of Sheir largest middle-masters brought over to Duffield a pair of gloves purported to be manufactured by Messrs Morley , oMottinghara , stating that they were manufactured at 3 d \ per dozen less than the present price . In consequence of this statement a meeting was summoned , and it was fully proved thatthe article produced was . considerably inferior tothe article of the same quality manufactured here . It may not be out of place to state that Messrs Brettlss-hands here have now- been standing for fourteen weeks , and their foreman of the silk department ( although a free trader ) has morejthan once attempted reductions when he imagined the men were reduced to starvation . Just at the time ho attempted thisv
reduction Messrs Wardfc'firm appeared to be tallinf off ia their deliveries , he-made the attempt when he thought we could least withstand , but we are reduced ' to aueh a point that we might as well play as work for less . We therefore determined to resist it by all tho means in our power . The quality of work attempted to be reduced is known iu the trade as the \ 4 it glove . This article manufactured by Messrs ' Moriey have been kaown to give the first price in the trade for their aianufactures . The public will ( here take notice tbit , the reduction , if given wholly ! to the consumer , would only amout to a farthing per jpair . whilst it wauld reduce the workman from jls , 6 d . to 2 a . per week . We therefore appeal to the ^ framework knitters , and public generally , to aid us ,

A legal . practitioner , , who appeared for Snith and Willay ,, stated that , thoy refused to pay the demand opting to the men having { wilfully spoiled the work entrusted to . them , ; and explained that , in consequence of the conduct of the moulders belonging to , the mouldars ! .-club , they ( Smith and jiiiUey ) had been , forced to . put labourers and hajjs , to pcr / orr ^> vork prc-jougly done by moulders , and that strong ill-feeling had been
displayed bjf , the club rcsn in consequence . One of their plans was to send , men to take employment as moulders , and after thsse , had worked a day or two , the woi 3 » entrusted to , them they wilfully spoiled . The parties who wer j . tlien in cDur . t ^ they had reason i % believe , had acted in this , manner ,, 3 Dd therefore : they felt justiEfidJn resisting payment of wages for the time spenj . upon the , bad work . —Mr D .
