Narrow Escape op Va . _Ambuboh '—Baltimore , United Statbs , April 1 . —Quite an exciting incident occurred yesterday afternoon at Van Amburgh . menagerie , in the presence of a crowded auditory , principally ladies . He had just left one of the cages , at _* d bad entered another , in which were a lion , a tiger , and two leopards . After playing with the lion a few moments he turned to caress one of the leopards , when the lion seized him by the right breast , his capacious jaws taking in a large moiety of his body . The animal exhibited no ferocity or anger , but immediately let go his hold , and seated himself quietly in his cage . So quickly was it done on the part of the lion , that the audience would have thought
nothing of it , had it not caused a shriek of pain from Van Amburgh when he fell against the side of the cage . He was immediately taken out , and Dr Gibson being present , was called to his relief . On his back and breast the trace of the teeth of the animal was fully indented , but flesh was not broken . Tha liontamer has just recovered from a dangerous illness of several months' duration , and having during that time being separated from tj-e animals , he had probably lost some of bis former power over them .

As these are the only firms of the many in the town and neighbourhood engaged in that branch of business who have attempted a reduction , and as tbe workmen declare themselves unable to sea the necessity for such a proceeding , especially having _regard to the high price of provisions , tbey have declined to submit to the reduction , and have struck work . Several hundred hands are thus out of employ in the flax trade . ¦ ... : ¦ -

The Operative Bakers And The National As...
THE OPERATIVE BAKERS AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES .
A meeting convened by the ' Green Man Society of Bakers , was held on Saturday evening , April the 2 _ th , at the Green Man Tavern , Green-street , Grosvenor . _quare . A deputation consisting of Mr G . Read and Mr Dyerson attended from the Central Committee ofthe Operative Bakers' Soeiety . Mr Stirling was called to the chair , and introduced Mr iiEonos Read , the general secretary of the Operative Bakers' Soeiety , who said it was generally admitted that the operative bakers laboured too much . Their fnend Mr Oastler , at the down and Anohorthe other night , had produced high medical testimony which _oemonstrated that to work a man more than ten hours a day murdered him , and the experience ofthe operati ve bakers proved this to be
true , as very lew of them survived the age of forty years . ( Hear , hear . ) The journeyman baker had not the time for refreshment or sleep accorded to other operatives . They often Beard of American and black slavery , but he utterly denied such ' slavery was equal tothe white slavery endured by the journeymen bakers . ( Loud cheers , ) Seme twenty years ago it was deemed a disgrace for the baker tobe seen in the street with his basket of bread after two o ' clock in the day , and about , the same period masters sold their bread a halfpenny a loaf cheaper to those who came to the shop for it , which showed that the slavery of bakers had not antiquity to plead in its favour ; but now a man was dragged with his basket at his back , some twelve or fourteen miles per day ,
and was frequently to be seen in the streets as late as seven o ' clock iu tho evening , after which he had to stand at the kneading trough until two o ' clock the next morning . This excess of labour was caused by competition , labour heing _usedinstead of capital , two Wen and a boy doing as much work as the fair trader had done by nine men ; thus increasing the surplus labour in the market , . nd consequently reducing wages . ( Uear , hear . ) Twelve hours , with an allowance of time for meats taken therefrom , was amply sufficient . 1 welve hours had been adopted in Scotland , and parts of England , and wbv should it not do equally wellm this metropolis f ( loud cheers , ) and of course , as tuey gave employment to additional hands in their own trade , so would tbey increase the trade ofthe shoemaker , the tailor and the hatter , as tbo bakers would have increased means of
purchasing and more time fer recreation , and consequently require more of the articles manufactured by the trades be had mentioned . ( Much applause . ) They had gained an able auxiliary in Lord Robert Grosvenor . True , his lordship differed frith some ol them as to the propriety of immediately proceeding to _Parliament . witn a bill to effect tbeir object ; and perhaps , as the Parliament would so soon be dissolved , it might not be good policy at the present time , but Lord Robert Grosvenor was very active in their behalf . He had volunteered to go round with him ( Mr Read ) to the clergy and other influential parties , to invoke tbeir aid , and _amom-it others , to the Lord Bishop of London , whom he had good reason toi believe would shortly preside ata public meeting in the _Hanover-square rooms in their behalf . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr B _ ack _ ore rose and said , Lord Robert Grosvenor - was a great name , but he denied that the operative bakers , isolated from any other trades , couid effect any permanent good for themselves without political power . Indeed , he would much like the whole body of operatives to possess the franchise , and then they could help themselves . ( Hear , hear . ) He had been looked on as an enemy to liberty , but he denied ths any one was more favourable to liberty , or had struggled harder for it than he had done , ( hear , hear , ) but was the system recommended by the Operative Bakers' Society adopted , and an additional halfpenny per loaf placed on bread , as the consequence , away would run the publio to the League , aud the unfair competitor , and
down would go the fair trader . ( No , no . ) In Edinburgh , where the system had been adopted , it was already giving way , an . some of the men who _. tooa out , had sacrificed two shillings per week . ( No , no . ) He contended thatthe wages of bakers , their employment being regular , and no lost time , were better than those of other mechanics . ( Loud shouts of No , no . ) . Why , they had , in addition tothe money , wages , bread , flour , and lodging . For hia part , he would prefer fourteen hours to twelve . ( Hisses nnd cries of "They would not give us . less than sixteen , did we ask for fourteen . ) Well , he thought by asking for twelve hours , they were only assisting the League and other unfair traders . He contended that the bakers could effect nothing by themselves : other
trades had discovered the weakness of isolation ' , and had united themselves with the National Association of United Trades , and heshould like their trade to follow the example ; ( Cheers . ) Scotland bad been alluded to , but be would remind them that Scotland was very different to London ; in Scotland there were certain circumstances that bound the men together , but in London they had to contend agaiust Germans , Irishmenand Scotchmen . Hence he thought it better that they should at once take up and consider the question of joining the National Association of United Trades , than to spend their time and money in pursuit of that which never could be realised . ( Cheers . ) Mr Read said he fully agreed with Mr Blackmore , nis aesiru _luai _laaaea _uuouiu _luascaa
m me wonting _e' _( the franchise , but as they did not , unfortunately , _possess that important right , some step 3 must be taken for improving their condition , and he thought one of the best was that of shortening the hours of labour . ( Cheers . ) Bakers had previously been subjected to Acts of Parliament , and hence he did think they would bave a better chance of obtaining one now than any other body of mechanics . He contended that even labour waa the grcat disease oi society . ( Cheers . ) Their friends , Mr Wakley and Lord Robert Grosvenor , had both admitted that , ultimately , there must be an Act of Parliament for the regulation of all labour . ( Cheers , j He therefore hoped the bakers would keep up a vigorous agitation , in order that they might be prepared for the
" good time coming . Mr Blacemore re-stated his objections , reminding them of their addition to their wages , in the shape of lodging , -. 0 ., and concluded by again urging the propriety , of taking up the question , the "National Association of United Trades . " Mr Read said , as regarded the lodging spoken of by Mr Blackmore , the sooner it was got rid of tbe sooner would the comfort , health , and morality of the journeyman baker be promoted . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman said he was rather inclined to the opinions of Mr Blackmore , so far as their uniting with the National Association was concerned , and he advised his brethren to read theNorthern Star , as , by so doing , they would become better acquainted with trades' matters generally . _MrDiBRsoxsaidhe thought , at the present time ,
it would be useless to go to Parliament , because a dissolution was near at hand ; but he thought the b ikers should thoroughly organize _theraselyw , and then , ina body , join the National Association . ( Loud cheers . ) ' Mr Bl . _cemorb again rose , and said the National Association ' s mode of operation was first to procuro a thorough organisation of any particular trade , and then connect that trade nith itself , and should any portion of its members bo oppressed , they opejaed a shop , and gave employment to the wronged members . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Read said doubtless tho National Association of . United Trades was a grand and comprehensive soheme , but ho did not think th 9 moans epployed by it applicable to bakers at the present time . Mr Blacemore could not seo why the National Association was not as competent to serve them as it was stockingers , knitters , and other poor trades , lie would therefore

London Carvers And Chairmakers. A Public...
LONDON CARVERS AND CHAIRMAKERS . A public meeting , convened by this body , was held at tho Bricklayers' Arms Tavern , John-street , Curtain-road , Shoreditch , on Tuesday evening , April the 27 th , to consider the best means of organising tbe trade and improving the social condition of its member ? . Messrs Robson and Green attended as a deputation from tbe central committee of the National _AsKciationol United Trade s * Mr Newion was unanimously oalled to the chair , and said they must be aware from the placards convening the meeting of the important object in view . ( Hear , hear . ) It unfortunately happened thatthe
working classes sometimes forgot their most important social duty , that of upholding and supporting the trade by which they lived . It was with a view to rally them , to arouse them from their apathy , and to awaken them _* to a sense of their duty as men and brother tradesmen , that this meeting was held , and unless they responded to the call , and united , organised and combined , they would not be enabled to uphold even then-present position . ( Hear , hear . ) whenever the working classes cfieoted anything it was by union and co-operation . He trusted , theretor ., that their good sense would induce them to _combine , and persevere until they had _ae . _ureiy elevated . tho social position of their order . * . ( _Chears . )
London Carvers And Chairmakers. A Public...
Mr Moodi moved the following resolution : — . That this meeting view * with dt « p regret the apathy and indifference in whicli many members of oar trade have 'long slept , and earnestly reselvei to use its best energies to arouse thorn to a sense of their folly in thus neglecting to assist in the promotion of their dearest interests—the rights of labour . He said the resolution justly spoke of their apath y and indifference , and really a stranger coming amongst them , and witnessing it , would suppose that they were surrounded by every luxury , that thoy could live and enjoy themselves , and go out on pleasure excursions at their will , and that masters were continually running after them , crying "Pray come anawork for me . " But let no one deceive himself ; the carvers and chairmakers could not bask in the sunshine of such a Paradise . ( Cheers . J He contended thnt trade societies could not stand
singlehanded , this was proved in the case of the bookbinders . ( Hear , hear . ) He had given their society up as hopeless , but now they had that mighty bulwark the National Association of United Trades to fall back on , his hopes were revived , and he looked with delight on that great lever which must ultimately raise the masses to their true social position in so * ciety . ( Loud cheers . ) They did not want to strike for an advance of wages ; all they required at the present moment was to prevent reduction —( hear , hear ) —and he maintained that an efficient organisation amongst themselves , backed by the National Association of United Trades , would be a sufficient guaranteefor the maintenance of that object . ( Cheers . ) For his part he had resolved to do one man ' s duty in upholding the Association , and he looked forward ia full confidence to the aid ofhis brethren . ( Much applause . ) Mr Mack seconded the re _.. lution .
Mr Grekn said indifference and apathy was at all times to be regretted , but it rejoiced him much to see so many present to consider the best means of promoting the interests not only of the unionists , but that of the non-unionists also . The interests of unionists and non-unionists were identical , they each lived , or rather existed by tlieir labour . ( Hear , hear . ) Well , then , let all , pull together , reason together , and in six months their whole trade would understand and duly appreciate the blessings of cooperation , and tbeir present meeting-room be much _, too small for _themi He was happy to inform them thatthe National Association hadadded one hundred trades , or sections of trades , to its list within the last quarter , and that at the present time it gave employment to eighty men , including shoemakers , tinplate workers , nail-makers , glovers , stockingers , etc ., <_ c Hehad much pleasure in supporting the resolution . ( Loud cheers . )
Mr I'iowABD said he was a carver , and did not like the idea of other trades interfering with his trade . What could they know about it ? He thought from the bearing of Mr Green ' s speech that he took them to be very poor ; now , he could assure him _that they were not so . The resolution was then put , and carried unanimously . Mr Nioholsox said-he had a resolution placed in his hands in which he perfectly concurred , nut aB he and they wished to hear Mr Robson , he would content himself by simply movin b'it : — " That this meeting relying with unbounded confidence on the purity , strength and wisdom of the National Trades' Association , pure in Us aim a . d _int-ntions , strong in ita resources , and wise in its government , do most
earnestly impress upon all connected _with the trade ot carvers and chairmakers , the necessity of organising themselves , and uniting nith that body . " Mr Robson rose much applauded to second tbe resolution _, and said he , a poor journeyman shoemaker , stood there to ask tbem to unite together for one common object , and he would just ask his friend Howard , it the managers ef the benefit societies re * fused men , because they happened to work at different trades ?—( Uear , hear , )—or , because they got different prices for their labour ? -- _*(_[ ear , hear , )—or , did ho know any trade that , when its own funds were exhausted in strikes , did not appeal to other trades ? ( Hear , bftar . " l Well , hiifc thp > National Assnp . iatioa thought it better to have small continuous payments _.
and so have funds in advance , than to drive it off until the time of need _. ame npon them , ( Cheers . ) Was it not a good thing to say , we have some forty or fifty thousand men at our backs to support us ? ( Hear , hear . ) What matters whether they be all carvers and chairmakers or not ? they arejall men , and all lived by their labour , and consequently had one common interest , and surely they ought all to unite in support of that common bond of brotherhood . ( Loud cheers . ) Let not his friend Howard . start ; the National Association had women in union with them , ay , and women would sit at the coming conference at Birmingham with then . Was not that a novelty ? But a woman laboured , aad ought not her labour to be protected ? ( Loud cheers . ) If
women labour was not protected , our wages would _, soon be reduced to their level . ( Great applause . ) He did not think his friend Green had said anything offensive . He had only inferred that they did not get so much as they ought for their labour , ia which he perfectly agreed with him . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , ( said Mr Robson ) let us see what is the cause o . our present position ? First , a redundancy of labour in the market , caused by men working too many hours per day ; secondly , a superfluity of apprentice _, over and above the quantity of men employed . ( Cheers ) He ventured to affirm that there were more carvers and chairmakers than could find work . ( Hear , hear ) The whole gist of tbe Ten Hours' Bill was that , by reducing the number of hours of labour , it
absorbed the supply . and consequently raised the value of labour . ( Loud cheers . l The engineers at the present timo were most stupidly working overtime ; but were they to act iu accordance with ths dictates of common sense , they would work but eight hours per day , and obtain as much _wages as though they worked sixteen . ( Loud cheers . ) He had mentioned apprentices ; and where there was a redundancy ef them , they were found to be the very _bsne and curse ofthe trade . ( Much applause . ) Ha would much like to hear anything his friend Howard might have to say , therefore he would now sit downto give him the opportunity , reserving to himself the right of say ing a word or two in reply . ( Loud cheers . ) Mr Howard said he bad simDly come up with _.
others , to hear the rules and rudiments of the association set forth , but he still thought that carvers could not understand shoemaking , nor vice versa . He agreed generally with what the eloquent deputy had advanced , and when he saw a union fairly established he was ready to join it . Mr Robson said , the only point for him to reply to was that bootmakers could not understand carving and chairmaking . Now , intheevent of a threatened strike , the course the National Association tpok was to act as mediators , and men not direotly interested in the trade concerned were the best for sucb a purpose . Thousands and thousands had heretofore been thrown away on strikes , not because the trades wera ignorant of the principles , hehad been propounding , but because they had waited for the cash until tha moment it waa required , before they attempted to raise it . Mr Robson here illustrated the working of
the National _Associatioi , by a strike ju 9 t gained by the bootmakers of Oxford , and a similar one by tha bleachers of Bradford . Backed by the moral power of 50 , 000 men , they had achieved a _gloripus triumph , at once proving tho prowess ofthe Natrbnal Associa * tion of United Trades . ( Immense applause . ) Mr Hatter cordially agreed _" with what had beea said by Mr Robson . Mr Bahnett hoped tbat a tract or prospectus ot the p rinciples of the National Association would oo widely distributed for the information of the trades in that district . Jgfihe resolution was then unanimously adopted . Mr _Nicho-Jon rose and submitted the following :- That a vote of thanks are eminently due and are here * by given , to T . S . Duncombe , M . P ., and the central com . mittee of the National Association of United Trades , also to the proprietor , editors , and reporter of thc Northern Star , for their valuable services in the cause of Labour .
It was seconded by Mr Howard , and carried by acclamation . Messrs . Robson , Green and Stallwood responded amidst loud cheers . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman , and the meeting was dissolved . The S-EF _.. BLD Trades versus a Sheffield Magistrate . —A meeting of delegates of various trades was held in the large room of the London Apprentice , on Friday evening , April 23 rd , to take into consideration the propriety of memorialising her Majesty ' s government to dismiss from the magisterial bench a _^ entleman ot the name of Wilson Overend , a magistrate for thiB borough , who has become vory obnoxious of bite to the trades of tho town . A resolution was unanimously come to thata publio meeting be held on the subject in
Paradisesquare , on Monday next , at one o ' clock . A respectful and numerous requisition was presented to the Mayor to call one but that functionary _. as is always the case when the working classes want public meetings on their own account , declined .
