venal press , can lessen the confidence we repose in him strengthened as it is by years of experieace , and cemented by the persecutions he has undergone in oar cause ; and we trust that in future he will avail himself ofthe protection which the law affords him to check those reptiles ; pledging ourselves to afford him ail the pecuniary assistance in onr power , as we bellere he ought not to suffer in our cause : and thereby convince the world that oar friend and representative enjoys the confidence and gratitude ofthe working classes , and particularly of oar own glorious Land Company .

That it is tbe opinion of the people ef Barnsley , in public meeting assembled , tbat the motives which induce the writers of the Nottingham Mercury , the London Weekly Dispatch , the Globs , the Manchester Examiner , the JVott osn / bmwt , andX % d ' s Weekly Newspaper , to attack the public and private character of Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., M . P ., are firstly—they see in the Land Plan and the National Land and Labour Bank , the means of the working classes redeeming themselTes from their present degraded statu . Secondly—Those malignant gcribas know tbat they can only breakdown our grand organisation , or retard onr progress , by destroying our confidence ia the
Mend and advocate of ths poor — the enemy of oppression and tyranny—Feargus O'Connor : but we , tbe people of Barnsley , are firmly persuaded tbat Mr O'Connor ' s object is to raise the icdastrions portion of the community to that position in society which their laborious industry entitles them to occupy ; therefore , we publicly declare tbat our confidence in tbat gentleman is not the least abated by the lies and vituperation of those rile slanderers .

' That we tender our increased confidence to Feargns O'Connor , Esq ., M .

Dreadful Fires And Loss Of Life.. Oh Thu...
DREADFUL FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE . . Oh Thursday morning shortly before three o ' clock , Drnmmond-strett , Euston-spare , was visited by the outbreak of a serious fire , which was the house numbered 97 , in the beforenamed street , occupied by Mr F . Lawsoe , stationer and bookbinder . The police discovered a dense mass of black smoke pouring forth from the basement ; an instant alarm was given , and the inmates were aroused , who with one exception effected a safe retreat . In less than ten minutes from the first discovery , the building beeame wrapped in one immense sheet ef flame . The excitement at that period was most intense ; the inmates who had escaped having informed tho crowd that Mrs Mackie , who wassleeping in the back attic , was in the midst of tbe fire . A . general" about of ' save
her * was raised , but the fire bad obtained too great a head for any one to enter tho premises . The engines arrived in rapid succession , and after some time the firemen succeeded in getting the flames extinguished , but not until the premises were nearly destroyed . At a subsequent period the firemen , whilst searching the rains , discovered the body of an unfortunate female shockingly burnt . Before the firemen had left , their attention was directed to the south ef London , by perceiving a light in the air , which convinced them that a conflagration was ragiig in that quarter . Thither the Brigade , West of England , and County engines
started , guided only by the reflection in the sky . After some trouble the exact scene was reached , when it was found that the extensive premises in the occupation of Messrs Pinchin and Co ., tanners , of tho Grange-road , Bermondsey , were in a general blase . The engine-house , drying rooms , and other parts of theestablishment—in all , upwards ofa hundred and fifty feet in length—were burning furiously . The firemen set to work , but they were usable to get mastery of the destructive element until the premises before spoken of , together with the steamengines and machinery , were destroyed . The total loss must be very considerable . The origin of both is unknown .

"Unitnftrtttmioii, * Friends,—If Ever Th...
" Unitnftrtttmioii , * Friends , —If ever there was a time when there was a greater necessity for combination amongst the working classes , that time is the present . For never , in the annals of this country , were manufacturers so determinedly and so universally attempting
to force down the price of industry as at this time . On the right hand and on the left , in the east and in the west , in the north and in the south , is this work of reduction and impoverishment going forward , — ay , and reductions , too , of the most serious character , which if not obviated will entail upon us , for years to come tbe most acute sufferings and deprivations , and thus cripple , our associative operations for the amelioration and improvement of our degraded and humiliating position .
And without a determined and well-timed effort on the part of the . working classes themselves , they will be plunged overhead and ears into irremediable difficulties , while a combination of evil circumstances and hostile operations will be arrayed and directed against yon , to perpetuate your sufferings , and to extort your labour frem you at a price infinitely below its value . To do so is the interest of capitalists ; it' enriches them , but makes you poor indeed .
If , however , you would obstruct the growth and spread of despotism , and mitigate the evils of organised capitalists against you , you must meet them nobly and determinedly in combination , and by a vigorous and an active co-operation , you will be able to counteract the tyrannical attempts of your task masters , and repress the outrageous reductions that are stalking abroad at noon-day . without a blush . But if you refuse to co-operate ; if you decline in combination , and tamely submit to see your rights and your principles wrenched from you , then , in . deed , may you prepare for the oppressor to' ride roughshod over you , and to overwhelm in distress and penury your wives aud children . But we trust
that such things will not be , —that you will sympathise . with and aid each other , to avert such fearful calamities , and endeavour to smooth each other ' s path by friendly exertion and by a spirited co-operai tion . Should you refuse to do this , —should you decline to assist each other , who else , we would ask , will assist you ? Who will stretch out a helping hand to save you ? If you trust to others ' to do that for you which you must do for yourselves , you will trust to a rotten staff , and the moment you fall upon it for support it will snap asunder , and at once precipitate yon into an insatiable gulf of inex . tricable despair . You must not , howeverj trust to any . You must rely entirely upon your own energies , and from that source alone will your
redemption come . How often have we told yon that the elevation of your own condition depends upon yourselves ; that in the work of the social and moral regeneration of the industrious classes , every member has a certain work to do , —a part to act , which no one but himself can perform , and which if not done by him he inflicts a proportionable amount of injury upon society , and , consequently , will impede the ' progress of ' emancipation ' .
Some may say that they cannot see what they can do in the work , or what office they can fill in such a movement . In reply we would say , the most humble who is willing to labour , will find something suitable to- his capacities , and , in fulfiling his duties , will aid in promoting and consummating the objects of this combination . Our machinery is so extensive ) and our operations so diversified , that none , however low or despised , need despair of finding employment for the exercise ofhis powers , for the diffusion of good , and forthe recovery of labour ' s lights . 'A crooked rail will help to turn an engine , when a straight one would not . ' And if every working man will only try , lie will find ample room to be beneficiary engaged .
The individual co-operation of the entire operative classes is indispensable to the perfecting of our redemption ; and that co-operation must be concentrated and . centralised , and every one labouring with the precision of a discipliaed army ; as they must necessarily oe when acting under the direction of one head for one common good . The beneficial and effective tendency of such concentrated and centralised operations must appear to all . For instance , take a body of armed men , whose object it is to repel tbe aggression of an invading
army . To . insure success , the forces are marshalled , and taught one uniform discipline , they organise , concentrate , and centralise the individual parts of the army , witb such exactness and precision tbat one head , one commander , and even the sound of a trumpet or the beating of a drum , will set in motion one mighty mass of human beings , for the attainment of one object ; and by such uniform and centralised operations , the . ' mvading army is routed ^ and compelled to retreat from the field of their revolting undertaking ..
Now , if a centralised power is so efficient in our military forces , must it not be as productive ol good , when adopted and carried out by the working-classes , for the protection of their industry ? Your rights , your privileges , your industry , your domestic happiness , the quietude and comfort of your family circles , has long , and is still invaded , and assailed by hostile capitalists ; and to thwart their purposes of cruelty , their paralysing , and at the same time unjustifiable innovations npon your most sacred rights , demands that you should adopt
this centralised power , by marshalling yeur forcesby organising and consolidating your sectional energies / upon one grand and national point ; and at the command of one head , with one voice , and with one heart , go forth to meet your assailants . By doing so , success would be certain , victory would be inevitable . It must be by this , and by no other means , tbat your rights will be conserved , your industry guarded , and heartless invaders be repulsed , and compelled to shrink back from the perpetration of their cruel deeds . ¦ ¦ •*
-You may object to such operations if you likeyou may refuse to co-operate with us upon such a principle , if you choose ; but you will be the sufferer —you may prefer your sectional endeavours to fight the battles of labour ; but as heretofore , . yon will be baffled in your attempts , and the superior power of capital will force you into submission , and become stronger in proportion as you become weaker . In confirmation of this , we refer you to past experience . Examine the history of your local
operations , and mark well the result ; ponder over your strongest combinations , and your contentions with capitalists , and we predict , that the review will sadden your hearts , and the repeated discomfitures you have experienced will extort from you ( it may be involuntary ) a sigh . The many miserable failures attendant upon our sectional struggles to protect industry , ought' for ever to inspire us witb a consciousness of their utter inadequacy to obtain for us , 'A fair day ' s wages , for a fair day ' s work '
After this investigation , should you still doubt the ineffective nature of merely local unions , we would refer for a still , further proof of this incompetency , to the continuous decline in the price of- industry . You have had your local combinations—you have subscribed your hundreds and thousands of pounds , and you have as cheerfully expended those , subscriptions in laudable efforts , to better your condition . But what good have you derived ? You may , in sorno instances have obtained your demands ; but such victories have been very short-lived . For what capitalists have given you with one hand , they have taken back with the other ; and when exhausted with struggling , you have fallen helpless victims t 0 ; the cupidity of your employers . And now , with all your engagements , and with all the
advantages derivable from your sectional operations , you are in an infinitely worse position than you were ever known to be . You are working more hours , ( even when trade is good ) and earning less wages , than you were doing twenty or thirty years a-go . Your position has been gradually growing worse , and the price of your labour graduall y becoming less . These may be painful reflections , but , at the same time , they are positive and undeniable proofs of tbe entire iaefflcacy of local unions , and point out the absolute necessity there is for the adoption of a more extensive plan , to secure to industry a proper reward . Such a plan , to be successful , must be commensurate with the objects to be attained ; otherwise , we shall be foiled in our attempts , and again yield to the crushing hand of tyranny ,
Now , such a plan , is the National Ajsac ' u > ikm . i ts object is to organise the local trade bodies in one extensive combination , and by arranging , concentrating , and centralising the divided energies of the people ; that their power , thus consolidated , may be . brought to bear on behalf oftho , weak and oppressed sons of toil . j . iThat this plan is a practical r ^ e , ^ have not the shghtestdoubt ; and when th . e whole raachinerv is set in full motion , will wor > out the regeneration of the present victun of wretchedness , of tyranny , and
"Unitnftrtttmioii, * Friends,—If Ever Th...
I To those who cannot appreciate tho importanc ' and practicability of pur plans , we would t * J > calm v examine our principles , weigh well our ; plan' * ° operation , and if you detect anything wrong , «» 7 thing defective , help us to put it right ; assist n * to rectify and mend all defects , and thus you will aid us in perfecting one of the most praiseworthy associations ! and an association too that is well calculated to procure Che rights , and enhance the interests
of the ndustnous . But , if you will not assist m this , let us beseech you not to prevent others , from doing so . If you will not labour for tbe general good of the working-classes yourself , allow others to do so who are inclined ; for we think tbe social and physical condition of the people is sufficiently degraded , without any attempting to make it worse , by opposing the efforts and plans set in operation for their emancipation .
To those who are with us , we say , be constant , vigorous , determined , and persevering in your exertions , and you may look for and ultimately enjoy a rich reword . The time when , we must be op and doing , is come , and if we relax in duty , or shrink from our labour , we shall fail in the accomplishment of our objects , and if we do , depend upon it , we shall find no quarter with capitalists , or mercy at the hands of our task-masters ; we must double our diligence , and make our salvation and independence sure .

There was a tolerable attendance , and an excellent spirit was evinced . On Thursday , Mr Humphries delivered a lecture m the Odd Fellows' Hall , Todmorden . The spacious hall was densely filled , there could be no less than 700 persons present . This being the first lecture of the kind in Todmorden , considerable interest was
manifested . The lecturer gave a lucid explanation of the principles and objects of the association , and showed tbat it infinitely transcended all previously established combinations for the protection of industry , and that in proportion as the great principles of the association became , practised by the working classes , in the ssmejpreportion would they be properly remunerated for their labour . That the redemption and elevation of tiie industrious was at their own command , that they possessed sufficient power to effect . every good , great and needful changes in their social and physical condition , if they would but use that power . If , they suffer more , it was their ewn fault ,. and no other parties were to blame . The
power to mend their condition they already possessed , that power lay in association , in co-operation , and by that means , and no other , would the people oi this country be delivered from the cold and crushing hand of despotism . The lecturer then directed attention to the association for the employment of labour , and clearly pointed ont the great benefits that would accrue from a system of self-employment , and urged upon the meeting the necessity there was for tho objects of this association to be carried ont . The speaker was loudly applauded throughout bis address . A vote of thanks was passed to the lecturer and chairman , and the meeting separated , satisfied with the superiority of the National Association over ail raerelyllocal unions .
On Friday , Mr Humphries delivered an . address in the Philosophical Hall , Huddersfield , to a large and respectable audience , in which he showed the infinite superiority ofthe National Association over local unions , but at the same time , it was not the intention of the association to destroy any existing society , but rather to grow out of them , that by arranging and consolidating their sectional energies upon a rational principle , they would the more easily and effectively procure for indistry , a more adeouate compensation . The speaker then showed the advantages of eo-operation , and the profits that would arise to the association from a system of self-employment , Buck as they already have established in different parts of the country . That for tho consumption of the goods we were enabled to manufacture , we mast not depend upon any class but our own , that our own members must devise to purchase tbem .. ' At the close of the address , the following resolution waa unanimously carried : —
That this meeting having heard the principles and objects ofthe National Association explained by the lecturer , are of opinion that each a combination is the best calculated to affect the moral and social redemption of the industrious classes of tbis country ; and that immediate steps be taben to organise the trades of Huddersfield , witb the view of joining tbe association . On Monday , Mr "Williamson delivered a lecture on the principles of the National Association , to tho scythe makers of Sheffield . After several questions hadjbeen asked and satisfactorily answered , a vote of confidence in the association was passed , and the subject was agreed to- be laid before their next meeting . But little doubt is entertained but that they will join the great movement .
Mr W . delivered an address to the sickle makers , EyeJane , Derbyshire . The meeting was well attended , and an excellent spirit prevailed . The speaker entered fully into tbe- workings of . local unions in general , and compared tbem with the-National Association for the protection of indu-try , and tho sister assookttion for the employment of labour . Mr W . closed his remarks , which occupied an hour and a half in delivery , amid the loud applause ofthe meeting . A resolution' was then unanimously carried , that they join the association forthwith .
Od Thursday evening , Mr W .. attended a public meeting held in the Temperance Hall , Preston . The meeting was crowded , there being about 1 , 400 or 1 . 500 present . Mr Swinglehurst was called to the chair , who on rising , said that most parties did them injustice , when they supposed that they met to encourage strikes , whereas their object was ta prevent . them , in giving to the men on strike whenever practicable , reproductive employment , and thus "nder the men able to earn their own livelihood . T . ie chairman then showed the great advantages that the working men would arrive from such an association , if they would become active members . Mr W . then rose to address tho meeting , and observed that it was entirely uselees for local societies to attempt to compete with large capitalists , as their fund became very soon exhausted , and the me & oiten resumed work upon worse terms than those upon which they turned out . The National Association ,
he showed , had recourse to mediation between the employer and the employed incases of disputes , and in many instances both parties had expressed their approbation of being brought together , regretting that in the excitement of the moment , they had demanded more than what was reasonable . Mr W . then adverted to the greatest evils and privations the working classes were enduring at the present time , and attributed them to the introduction of mechanical appliances to supersede manual labour . Tho working man by his inventive genius , and practical skill , made machinery which was to throw himself and fellow-workman out of bread . -He contended that the workman who invented a machine ought not to put it into working operation , until he ha > l got some guarantee tbat his fellow-man would not be injured by its introduction . Mr W . concluded by urging upon them the necessity to join the association , as the best plan to effect too redemption of the toiling millions .

CORN , & o . ' Maok ' -lamb , Monday , Oct . 25 . —During the past week the arrivals of all articles of home produce up to this market coastwise . were on a very , limited scale . By land cfirriaffo , ' however , they were somewhat on the increase . From Ireland and Scotland very little grain of anyde . scription came to hand , but from abroad the imports were tolerably good , viz , 16 , 481 , qrs . of wheat , 2 , 6 t 0 ditto of oats , 1 , 009 ditto of peas , and 12 , 402 barrels of-flour , the latter wholly from Canada . Fresh up to-day the receipts of English wheat from Essex , Suffolk , and Cambridgeshire were small ; thos * from . Kent , somewhat extensive , and of full avera ge quality . By land carriage only a limited quantity . Ass clearance , of the samples was not effected onFridjy , the actual supply on offer was tolerably good , owingto which , the limited attendance of buyers , and the continued pressure of inferior foreign flour for sale , the demand for all kinds of wheat of homo produce was heavy at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last of 2 s per qr , M the close of the market a clearance was not effected .
As has been the case for some time past , the shoiv of foreign wheat was large , and as most of the importers were anxious sellers , both landed and onboard , the trade was in a very inactive state , and the currencies fell 2 s perqr . from those realised on tbis day se ' nm idit . For export scarcely any sales took place , but several entries have been made for that purpose to Holland . Notwithstanding the supplyof barley , both English and foreign , brought forward was small , that article was very dull at barely , but at nothing quotable beneath , last week ' s prices We were very moderately supplied with malt , neverthc less , as brewers purchased with extreme caution , the trade was again heavy . Chevalier parcels were mostlj disposed of at late rates , bat the middling and interior qualities were quite is qer qr . cheaper . Notwithstanding the quantity of oats brought forward was trifling , compared witb tbat on show during man ; preceding weeks , the oat trade was in a sluggish state , but wo can report no alteration in v « Ino . Beans , though the supply was small , moved off slowly , at barely station , ary prices *
Superfine white peas , which were scarce , comroaaded full prices ; but all other kinds were the turn lower . In Indian corn , meal , and ryo flour , very few sales took place .
