the United States in ** «** «» f , . - America , he told the assembly , needled no standing armv itworked on in a system of brotherly love , and thenThe took caro . convey to the inhabitants of inch dots of country as England , Prance , and Germany how big wis the territory of the United States . Mr . Cobden alluded on the first day to the presence of General Haynau . The American was determined to trump that' success , and told the meeting that though Austrian officers mig ht attend Frankfort peace meetings , the first general m the United States went about as a peace prwcntr . This was rather too strong a dose for the Britishers , and a peacemaker whispered very sensibly , i-ei why does not he throw up his commission ? u * £ ino- concluded his patriotic attempt to impressj . m-
magnitude of his country on his wondering « - »» - » he retired amidst universal applause . Scarcely less successful was Mr . Jobt » JJwjJrJ Birmingham , who attacked ^ "gta ^^»> sSSSSSg ^ deoicted the life of a soldier , which ne characterised 2 Kuss ofactivity /> ith a great deal of quiet humour . An old Prussian , officer roHed w . thlaughfcratthe ridicule with which Mr Dawson treated tte members of his profession . With some unwil-Bnaness Mr . D . iwson confessed that he was not onle without military feeling . War he hated , but he found a well-drilled regiment a pleasant spectacle , and loved to see the country gawky transfarmed into the elegant tnUitaire . How reconcile
these two tastes—hatred of armies and love of drill ? Why , by having industral instead of military regiments , with spades instead of muskets on their shoulders . Thus shall war be swept from the earth ; but Mr Dawson shall not lose the amusement which doubtless he receives in St . James ' s Park . Almost every orator had expressed a wish that the sword might be turned to a sickle , but Mr . Dawson , ever original , improved the standing sentiment by adding a hope that pipeclay might be used to whitewash cottages , and red cloth made up into cloaks for good , honest , old women . Before he retired he took occasion to explain that he had merely flung out his notice of the spade exercise as a suggestion , without urging its serious adoption . Whether the broad
brim gentry , who look with such benignant contempt on the ruined castles on each side of the Rhine , as something goneby in their own days of wisdom , quite relished the semi-military propensities of Mr . Dawson it is hard to say , but his speech was one ofthe successes of the day ; and perhaps this , and the oration by M . Gamier , were tbe only two that give decided evidence of originality . Mr . Cobden spoke earlier on the first day . The resolution about "loans , " strange to say , he did not touch , but confined himself to the standing armaments . His speech was as effective on his part , and showed the same tact iu seizing on objects immediately within the grace and comprehension of his hearers .
The two resolutions of the day were , of course , carried unanimously . On tho third day a letter was read from "Victor Hugo , who presided at the Congress last year in Paris , stating that fatigue and the state of his health prevented him from being present . A letter from the Archbishop of Paris , expressive of sympathy with the movement , was also read . Among tbe more remarkable speakers of tbe day was Kah-Ge-Gah-Bowh ( Firm-standing , ) now Bev . 6 . Conway , lately a chief of the Bed Indian tribes , who
concluded a very picturesque speech by tbe following touch of the dramatic : —** When I left my conntry in the west , my aged father came to me and said , ' Here , my son , take this *—( unrolling the Indian pipeof peace , amid immense cheering)—yes , ¦ when I took my seat ac this table , many persons seemed afraid to sit near me , as if I had arms in my Land ; bnt , Mr . President , it is not a weapon of war , it is a weapon of peace , which , in the name of my father , in the name of my countrymen , I present to you—it is our calamet . " ( Tremendous applause as be gave it to the President . )
A supplementray resolution , condemning duelling , was proposed . On its being about to be put , M- Girardin ( who is well known to have given the mortal wound to M . Armand Carrel ) rose and was received with cheers . He said—Duelling is war between individuals . We here give a guarantee to obtain credit , and that guarantee is to be found in the solemnity of our acts—that guarantee is to deny duelling publicly and openly . A legislative assembly has at this moment a subject for future debate a . law upon duelling . In my lue there is a painful reminiscence . I fought a fatal duel twenty years ago , and I still feel remorse for it at this moment . If we were to leave no other trace in Frankfort than this resolution , we might say we had done enough . Tbe resolution was unanimously adopted . This brought the formal business of the Congress to an eud .
The remaining business consisted of formal votes of thanks , aud the appointment of London as the place for holding the next Conference . Mr . Cobden led off some of the votes , complimentary with " three times three" in capital style , muehtothe astonishment of the worthy Germans , and the proceedings closed , apparently to the satisfaction of all concerned .

STBIKE OP THE DRIVERS AST ) FIBEMES OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY . Another meeting ofthe drivers and firemen lately in the employment of this company took place on Iriday , the 23 rd inst ., at the George Inn , Stratford , when , in the absence of 3 Ir . Hope , Mr . Kinnersley took the chair . The report in the newspapers of the company ' s meeting held on the previous day was first read , alter which a prolonged conversation and discusson took place on the several points of it affecting ihe condition of the men . They affirmed that what ought to have heen a question of light had been considered as one of might ; and that the proprietors had thought only of putting down their
comtnnation , aud not at all of inquiring whether they had not been driven to it by oppression . Of the eharg-s brought against them as to their tampering ¦ with the engines , they denied the troth altogether , and urged also that even admitting them to be true , subsiqucnt misconduct in the men did not justifv previous tyranny in Mr . Gooch . They also complained that the charges made against them by Mr . Beits , the chairman at the meeting of shareholders , were too general to admit of contradiction , and whilst denying that they were true of any , complained that from their vagueness they were now applied to all . .. '
Before the dispersion of the meeting , a letter , upon the subject , was agreed to be sent to E . L . Betts , Esq ., which having been approved , was duly despatched . On the answer to its very moderate demand the men ' s future pro ceedings will depend
E is much to be feared that the misunderstanding which has taken place between the authorities of fie Eastern Counties Itailway and their enginedrivers and firemen , so far from being amicably settled , bids fair not only to riral tho strike which occurred about two years since on the Northwestern line , but to extend to various other railways , if report speaks true , throughout the country moth to the incauvenience and danger of tbe '
public . It appears that delegates are about to be sent to the various lines throughout the kingdom . The spark of disaffection has already reached the north and meetings have been held at Leeds and other places , at which resolutions have been come to to rapport the men of the Eastern Counties in their present proceedings , and it is boldly asserted that sodisiatisfied are the engine-drivers and firemen of another great trunk line , having its terminus in outbS ^ "* * awri l »« tf « ^ mediate

At two o ' clock on Saturday afternoon last n crowded meeting ofthe engine ' drivers and firemen took place at the George Inn , Stratford , for the purpose of receiving the report of tbe dennSion and uking snch stepsas might be considered adS able in reference thereto . wuauns-. Mr . M'Ciiiien , in tbe absence of Mr J T meTwe ^ el to the Chair ' andatontlW ' ^ Mr . Gnnsor said he had to lay before tfcn « , »»» directors that morning . In pursuance of the reso lution came toon the previous evening , tteVhad been that morning to the Shoreditch termmus tn riSSEfeSs & s

Mr , RtscE moTed , — «' That this letter be for . warded to the secretary of the company , Mr . Boney , to be laid before the directors on Tuesday . " Mr . Ktxkebsxet seconded the motion . Mr Abmsteosg thought the sending of this letter was premature . " The directors- 'had given-it out tr uf ? iatauled to open two of the branch lines which had been shut up , and run additional trains

—7 ~~ : " j Ka ? hnoffht that if that was done on Monday , ? . t ^* r ° Sh would soon settle the something might occur wmen He question , to the f ™ * £ * had t a batch Sr was g iven ^ tj , ^ 3 C fr 0 m the north , but he ? f ? 2 S lSS ? taSl on that line , and there-^ V S ^^* " * - " * . 1 " tooready t 0 bn A DMVKB . r said he did not wish the public or commnv any harm , but he certainly should like to hear of a good old collision . ( Loud laughter , and cries of "Oh , - oh . " ) He thought they should hold out a bit longer . ( Hear , hear . ) The resolution to send the letter was then carried .
Tho CuairmaS said he was quite sure that , notwithstanding the proceedings at the meeting ofthe Eastern Counties shareholders on Thursday , the public were still in favour of the engine drivers , and he was very desirous that they should by their conduct keep the public in their favour . It was true the state of affairs were changed with the engine drivers since last Thursday , and he would tell them why . The directors , instead of having the shareholders compelling them to go into a fair and proper inquiry into the case between the superintendent and the men , bad now got the shareholders to back them in their proceedings . It was nothing to the directors if the traffic of the lino failed ; the deficiency would not come out of their pockets ;
and they would only have to make additional calls upon the shareholders . Urder these circumstances , he felt that the drivers and firemen should do nothing to getinto disgrace with the public , and they would be right . The chairman , at the meeting on Thursday , had shown them what combination there was between the various companies and their locomotive superintendants to put down those in their employ . He admitted that , " with the greatest kindness , other companies had taken first-rate men off the foot-plates of their own engines , and sent them off to work on the Eastern Counties . " The same system was working on other Hues , and the engine drivers and firemen of every cither line knew not how soon it might be their turn to be served in
the same way as those of the Eastern Counties had been . It therefore behoved them all to look out . Depend upon it , if any of them backed out and crouched to Mr . Gooch , be would grind them to the very earth . Let them not despair ; depend upon it tbe men were rife for a movement on other lines ; and if the locomotive , superintendents would . hurl thunderbolts at those placed under them , depend upon it they , would soon have those thunderbolts hurled back again at their feet . A letter had been received by the committee from Leeds thatmorning , which proved how . little was needed to set the matter going . There was tyranny on other lines as well as the Eastern Counties , and it required a
very little spark to raise the flame , and consume the whole mass of tyranny and oppression . ( Cheers . ) At the request of the meeting the chairman read the letter which had been received that morning from Leeds . It stated that a meeting of the enginemen and firemen of all the lines of railway running into Leeds had been held in that town , and that a resolution had been unanimously come to , that if the authorities of the Eastern Counties did not come to an amicable settlement with the men , they would take measures ' to stop every line in the country , and they would then teach such locomotive superintendents as Messrs . Gooch and Carberry ( the locomotive superintendent of the York and North Midland line ) how to treat men placed under their control . The meeting was then adjourned .
In Accordance With A Resolution Passed A...
In accordance with a resolution passed at a meeting ofthe late engine-drivers and firemen upon the Eastern Counties Railway , held at the George Inn , in Stratford , a letter , of which the following is a copy , was addressed to the chairman and directors , and delivered to the secretary ( Mr . Honey ) on Monday last , in order that it might be laid before the board at the weekly meeting , on the following day ( Tuesday ) : —
TO THE HO . V . IBS CUAUUMX AND DISECTOSS OF TBS EASTERN COUNTIES BAILWAT . Gentlemen , —It is with deep regret on our part that a dispute should have arisen between the superintendent , Mr . Gooch , and ns , which has made a great sacrifice both ofthe interests otyour property and our labour . We therefore , after calm consideration of the circumstances of ihe dispute in question , cannot but acknowledge that our proceedings have been much too precipitate , and justifies us in n airing an honourable compromise with you . We therefore respectfully ask for your deckion as to the resolutions forwarded through Mr . Aslicroft on Saturday the 17 th inst , or whether you wiH entertain any part of them . . We also beg to add , that a deputation will attend at your office on Tuesday morning to await your decision . - : We are , gentlemen , vour obedient servants , ( Signed ) Thohas Horn J . Slater . J . Reus . Vincent Gbanbt .
A deputation of the men attended accordingly on Tuesday , at the Bishopsgate station , but the board declined to see the men , and they were told that an official answer would be sent to their communication . Immediately on receipt of the answer from the directors , a meeting of the men was convened at tbe usual place , the George Inn , Stratford , when tbe chairman , Mr . Hope , said he bad received the following answer to the offer they had made to the directors : — Eastern Counties Railway Office , Bishopsgaf e-station , London , 27 th August . Sir , —I beg to hand you , en the other , side , an extract from the minutes of the board of this date . I am , sir , your obedient servant , To Mr . Thomas Hope . C . P . Ronet . Extract from the minutes of the board , of the 27 th of August , 1850 : —
Read a letter , signed by T . Hope , J . Slater , J . Rees , and Vincent Granby , late engine-drivers . in the company ' s service . Resolved , that the late engine-drivers and firemen be informed , that if any of them apply to Mr . Gooch to be appointed in this company ' s service , their applications will , be considered as vacancies offer , but the staff of the company's engine-drivers and firemen isot present completed .. .. . The Chaimun said , ho regretted very much that tne communication they had thought it advisable , under the circumstances , to make to their late employers , had not produced a more satisfactory result . He could only , however , advise them to act as they had hitherto done during the unfortunate misunderstanding that had occurred , conduct themselves peaceably and quietly , and on no account to interfere in any manner with the new drivers , or with any of the works on the line . They must let the public judge . ( Hear , hear . ) Before they separated , he had to call their attention to a letter he had received from Edward Ladd Betts , Esq ., chairof
man tbe company ; who had presided at the meeting of the shareholders , held at the Loudon Tavern , on Thursday last . It would be recollected that at that meeting Mr . Betts made certain charges severely affecting their characters , and imputing to them the commission of malicious acts previously to their leaving the company ' s employment . They ( the late engine drivers and firemen ) met these charges promptly , and at a meeting hastily held at the Black Lion * Bishopsgate-street , they unanimously passed a resolution emphatically repudiating them . In obedience to the terms of that resolution , the committee wrote a respectful letter to the chairman of the company , requesting hira to furnish them with the numbers of the various engines said to have been in any way tampered with , or to have their gauge-glasses broken . To that letter , respectfully addressed to Mr . Betts , that gentleman had sent the following reply : * . 1 ' reston Hall , Aug . 21 th 1850 .
„ , . . . , Sir ,-In reply to your letter ^ which reached me here today , the directors , as soon as they can definitely ascertain and prove by evidence the parties who have been guilty of such wilful mischief , will net fail to inflict oh them the justand severe punishment the law affords for such conduct , and which they hope to be enabled m do as a warn rag to all future cases of this character . I am , sir , yours obediently , _ „ . „ Edwauo L . IIetts , Chairman . To Mr . J . Hope . The Chairman said the meeting could perceive that the letter of Mr . Betts failed altogether to afford them the information they desired , > nd which they thought they were entitled to expect . been niade
Although a very sweeping charge had against the characters of the late enginemen ' and firemen , the answer , as far as they were concerned , was altogether vague . He could only express his deep regret that such charges had been made ; ; and heagain , for his own part , and on the partof the . men , entirely denied tbat they were well founded . He had only again to impress upon his fellow-workmeui the necessity of thou-continuing so to [ conduct . tawW " as toobuin the approval of the public . \ Hejw laww toinformtbem that letters had been receivedlrom somelof the shareholders , expressing a warm interest iKfevour , and several gentlemen had called at Xewmmittee room , influenced by similar feelings .

GUILDHALL . — Attempted Suioidh . — Sarah Parker was placed at the bar before-Alderman Chailis charged with being drunk and disorderly , and whihrin that state attempting to throw herself out of window with the felonious intention of committing suicide . —Police Constable 284 stated that ho was on duty in Aldersgate-street , about twenty minutes to three o ' clock on Monday , when he heard screams of " Police . " On proceeding to the house whence the cries appeared to come , he found that they resulted from a disturbance at 35 , Edmund ' snlace , Aldersgate-street . While he stood outside listening to ascertain if the disturbance 'm ono that required his interference , his ears were saluted with reiterated cries of " Murder" and "Police /'
apparently uttered by a female voice . Being no longer in doubt he rushed up stairs into the firstfloor , and on opening the back room door , he saw prisoner standing in front of the open window in a most excited state , making use of wild gestures , and alternately screaming " Murder" and " Police " at intervals . Oh perceiving witness standing in the doorway she ( prisoner ) immediately threw herself headlong out of the window , but he , ( the officer ) springing forward at the instant caught her by the hinder part ofthe dress as she was falling , and pulled her back . He then convoyed her to the station . —Andrew Down , the landlord of the house , said the prisoner lodged with him . She had the first-fioor . —Alderman Chailis : Did you know what
kind of character she was when you lot her the apartments ? Witness : Yes , she was introduced to me by another female of the same class , as being a very decent and quietly disposed girl . —Alderman Chailis : Have you any more of the same kind of females lodging in your house ? Witness : Yes , your worship , I have three altogether ; but I do not allow any one else to lodge with them . —Alderman Chailis : Do you know that you are liable to he indicted for harbouring improper characters and keeping a bad house ? Witness : I'was not aware ' that I was doing wrong . But I . will act upoii . your information , and discontinue it . Prisoner came home drunk , and witness assisted her up to her own apartments aud was abused in consequence . The
screams were uttered by the prisoner because'witness persisted in having her placed in her bed-room . When the officer came up , she attempted to . get oht ' of the window head foremost , but was saved by the officer ' s presence of mind , in rushing to her assistance . —Alderman Chailis : What rent do you pay for the bouse in which prisoner lives ? Witness : I pay £ 28 a year . —Alderman Chailis : And what rent do these unfortunate females pay you for that part ofthe house occupied by them ? Witness : The prisoner at the bar pays me 20 s . per week for the first floor , and tbe ether two 12 s . and 10 s . per week individually . —Alderman . Chailis : Then you are really acting in a most disgraceful manner towards these poor nirl * . You pay a rental of only £ 28 a ' year lor the
whole house , and charge them for only a part the enormous' sum of £ 110 a year . He considered it shameful that the witness should take advantage of the position of these poor creatures , to live upon the proceeds of their prostitution . He would take care to have him indicted , if he continued keeping an improper house . As for the prisoner , he would discharge her , and he hoped she would never bo drought up before him again . —The prisoner was then discharged . Charob op It ' BBERr . —W .

" When the officer arrived they went down the cellar ,
where the prisoner rushed past , and succeeded in gaining the street . He was followed as far as Smithneld , when he was apprehended . On searching the back cellar , the' water pipe was found lying in one corner cut into about sevun or eight pieces , one of which had a brass tap attached to it . The officer was proceeding to examine the front cellar to see if any more of the leaden pipe had been cut away , when prisoner , anticipiting his object , ' said " No , that is all . "—Springate . the gaoler , said that the prisoner had been several times . convicted of felony , and that be had been in the Compter , in Giltspur-street , twice within the last six months .
