T _« THE ' MEMBERS OP THE _JOURNEYMEN STEAM-ENGINE , AND _MAOHINE-MAKERS AND MILL WRIGHTS FRIENDLY SOCIETY . ; _RbsMCTID _"f-rrsUDS _, —In appealing to you on tbi-occasion I do so , considering ltIto ba my duty .-sis member of your society , and an enemy to oppression , I feel _sbmeivbat . astonished atthe attempts made by soma of bur Manchester members now holding office , to sow the seeds of discord amongst oar body , when it _Isjwill known _tothosemembeMWhoare attempting It , thalL _Bothlmj less than a _golidfiquara of . our whole body Is _sufflolent to repel tho repeated attack-ofour nemies , It is but a few week * _since _. thB _. bq'ly . ofour , members considered that important role _Referring to the banking of oui monies . It would be uojust forme to say that they were all ignorant of the , workfo | ' ofour banks , ' previous to Mr Selsby and others attempting - to crush 'the spirit of
Inquiry , by issuing nit partial circular which the publio are all well acquainted : _wiflv . _< That-ciroular was framed to entrap . the _Ignoraut ,, and to a certain extent It has succeeded , bat not witb . out . exporipg the writer ' s display ot Ignorance of the nibjebt ' on which he wai writing , when he stated that the" society was not registered according to law . But I would not have blamed him for being ignorant ofthesubjee » , bad be and bis colleagues shown themselves open to oonvictfon ,, but , on tba contrary , _heappears to be as prejudiced ; as ever , or sis * he it ashamed to acknowledge bis _Ignoi ance _. But this is not the case with a great number of ibe me ' mbMB who recorded their votes against the * Land and Labour Bank . These members acknowledge that -Ince thia paper war has been carried on , they have had their eyes
opened on the subject , and had thsy another opportunity of recording their votM , Mr Selsby . would bave to announce a different majority . It may afford him , in the meantime , a great amount of satisfaction to see his trap work so well as to catch him a majority of 990 , out of a body of upwards 7000 ' members . Mr Selsby may answer ; they did not all vote , No , they preferred wait _, tog uiit'l they got . better acquainted with _thesubject , rather than vote -inignorance . But our , , would-be dictator , could net have brought his Infant trap into operation , had he not broken through ou » -general laws in defiance of our delegatemeeting , without asking tho consent of onr members , but be immediately after got the breach made up in tbe shape of a resolution from th ' e _Executivethat neither ha nor . _sny , other _membar
, shall do so again " . I likewise perceive that Mr Selsby has succeeded In obtaining a r-solutton from . the _Executive Council , to the effect ¦ That we , the General Executive , do instruct all branches who have so deposited their fands in the Land and Labonr Bank , to . withdraw the same within twenty-one days from this date , Nov . 6 th , 1847 . ' Now , Impartial _read-rs , you wiil have _perceivedaprecedent wbioh may bs acted upon bythe Executive Council withi the assistance of Mr 8 _« _lsby , which ma- bo detrimental to the stability of our society . We hava _lawa relating . ' to tbo banking of our money , and those laws must not be trampled upon by ourExecutlva Council , as I c _» ndr . » w bo other conclusion from
tho above { resolution , _TrTo are told in a grave sort of a manner that thoir only object It to secure th * best _Interest ' _oftha society , and thereby restore that tranquillity and unity amongst us , which is so essential ; to the walfare of the whole , and they hope that any farther Interference , onthe part of those that are favourable to the Land and Labour Bank will be avoided . I wouli ask who was the party that commenced this unconstitutional _interference with the , rlghts of the branches ? Let Mr Selsby answer . But I have a better opinion of tbe branches who hava deposited their funds in the Land and _LrtbourBank , than to think they are going to allow _prejudice and ignorano * to overrul . _insonfuted reason and _antument * . ..
My friends , I shall now call yonr attention to ths con . _slstency of some of oar leading members ; Wben tbis so called Important question was under discussion , a Mr Newton , of one of the London branches , got up in his place and read several columns from the _Mahcbzstkb Examiner , wrote by . one who styles himself 'One who has Whittled at the _Plouj _* h ' , * making very _gra-e o " ojections to the Land and' Labour Bank , for the purpose of prejudicing tbe minds of the _membtrs against the said Bank . Another member got up to reply , and withedto read an answer from the Stab , but no , that could not be allowed , as It was not society business , but I suppose tha * Whistler ' s * letter . was '
What readers the above gentleman ' s inconsistency more -flaring is , that when Mr Selsby and bis colleagues were in trouble in' the Newton case , ' the same Mr N » wton attended many meetings In London , and moved votes of thanks to the editors and ; proprietors of the Nostubb « Sta * . for their noble conduct in espousing the cause of tbe victims In the columns ef that paper . Now , mark the diff rence ! Because the Star had served their ends , thfy would now willingly lend tbeir aid to crush it if , they could , but I trust that tbe generous hearted proprietor will not take these few aristocratic dandies of our trade as representatives of the whole . I should like to ask Mr Selsby , where would he and his ¦ colleagues bave been to day , had It not been forthe noble exertions of Mr O'Connor , and the indomitable Attorney-General for the people , Mr Vf . P . Roberts ?
A word er tiro with the members of our society who have joined the Land Company . . A great deal ean be done individually . As an example , we at Swindon bave formed a money club to aid and assist the Bank , and since we have started , upward * of one hundred pounds bave been collected and deposited in the Bank , Recollect this has bean done by small _subscriptions , some paying sixpence , others one shilling . We make one pound a ' prize , and ballot It , and send it off tsbe credited to the individual who has gained the prize . So by the same means a thousand pounds might easily be raited . Yours , respectfully , David Mobmo » . 5 Bath-street , New Swindon , .

CRUEL TREATMENT OP THB P 00 B . to _tna editor or THI noetbebv stab . . Sib , — -I shall be under the greatest obligation if yeu will insert the following in the Stab ; It is an exposure ofthe base , cruel _; despotic , and _unrhristian poor law authorities in the town of Merthyr Tydvil . As your correspondent was proceeding throsgh High-street , the principal thoroughfare In this town , I saw a decent , prudent-looking woman sitting by the side ef a wall , a little boy sitting by her side , and an Infant in her arms . The mother and little boy were orying bitterly , and almost perishing with the cold . It was . free-lug hard at the time , and It was about four o ' clock , p . m . I stopped and inquired what was the cause of htr distress , when she told me thefollowing pitiful tale . _Herbusbandand ber . self came here , about nine weeks ago , in search of
employment , and just as he got into work he was taken ill and died , and she and the two children were left wholly destitute . She bad sold all her husband ' s clothes and her own , and was at last forced to apply for relief , Sbe made _sereral applications bat to no purpose . About eight or nine days ago the youngest child , aboat two years old , was taken ill with the small-pox—it was then in her arms in a dying state . She showed it to me . The _sijfbt was truly awful—it was in fits and _ftvxen with eold . I gave her the means to procure shelter for the night , and several friends came forward and did tha same . I have learned since that the child died that night She bad a note from the parish doctor to apply to tbe autho .
titles for relief , but they would pay no attention to htr nor the doctor . It is only a few weeks back a man was on the point of starvation and applied for relief , but to no purpose . He broke a square of glass in a grooer " a window , aud th « n he was taken into custody , * fl " e have about _forty-five or fifty ministers of thegospd in the neighbourhood , professing to be followers of Jesus _Chrlst , and there is but one ofthe whole lot that will come forward to denounce tbis tyrannical system , and he Is too old and feeble to do much . I ask , is this christian England , where there is so mueh boasting cf charitable Institutions , and the people are left to perish in the tree' »« D . R . Mo-soak . -

_^ - _^^^^ m ___ _tm __ t ___ m _ . _ ________ _mtm FRIGHTFUL CONDITION OF THB WORKING CLASSES IN LANCASHIRE , ' TO THB _EDITOB OP THE _KOBTBEBN 8 TA » . Sin— In Blackburn , within the present month ther hare been processions nf the unemployed operative * , beaded by ptmns who visited every shop and rich man ' s residence begging for bread . There were hundreds thus parading ihe streets , a great portion of whom were females , mostly from fifteen to thirty y » ars of age . On Wednesday , the _iTth _. ult . the day was excessively cold , still the women persisted in perambulating tbe town along with the men , each with only a very light shawl thrown
over her _shonlden ; and clogs on the feet , our Lanca-¦ hire pumps ; here and there one with a child in het arms , and some poor old _creatuns whose haggard and wrinkled features bespoke at once their poverty and their 5 ears verging on threescore . The suooess atten . dant on this novel exhibition was moderately _eood Aboutforty pounds in money was obtained in one week and perhaps a like sum In provisions .- _Boup was made out of the meat which the _bntchera had-riven _themthn quantity being too small to allow of . an / lther mode o division amongst jo many ; the bread thus obtained was _portioned out with the soup , and with _themoSXve were purchased and distributed . 6 l
• , _* l y l _^ ? ' aa K ' « _convened a meet _, ng ofthe principal ra _tepajersfor the purpose of adoo _£ lag some plan calculated to relkve the want * of the _p-ople during the present emergency . The relief _trivan _attho poor office had ; bcen altogether _inad » _qa » t , _* _h- ?« to . averaging not more than from fourpence to _sUpi-nce _ner ' head per wtek . _Atubscription <* as in _consem ttnee de . termined on ; somo liberal contributions have w * are told , been made ; and the horrors ofi the present famine will , " it is heped , be to some extent mitigated
In Preston , one sixth of tke population are computed to be dependent on parochial aid . The lelltf given here has been somewhat more liberal than in Blackburn as many have received a shilling per head w « % , thoujrh . great number have , I bellove , r « celv « d considerably _i « , How they contrive te exist on even the largest sum mth ' out any other support , I * more than one can well con . _ceive ; for the parish _officers make it it rule , to which » b-y pretty well adhere , that no relief fa to be afforded "hen any of tbe family are in work . Howerer such support as is given will by and by raise a storm , ' i
wain one cottage on Monday last , and the occupier told me , that the last half year the rates for the house amounted to little more than five shillings , but for the _prttent half year , they were sixteen _JhhlJags , Most of
^ Mmm -^^^^M___Tm__T___M_._ ________Mtm ...
the cottages in Preston are _compounded for by thel _"" lord , who receive * the rate * through the medium of _» _** aid as the rents are fixed whena tenant takes poj _* . _i l !'' the cottage owner cannot well raise them , np _taJi . i _" ' times like the present .. Upen the . owner , thereforei i fall these additional rates ; but the shopkeeper ii equally fortunate In this respect , and living in hous-i _" much higher rented than _eottag-t-, the rate * w ,, j f ** frightfully heavy . Let the _panie continue a Hui longer , and every shopkeeper arid petty trader -vi » r his occupation no more to be relied on , as a means » yielding support , than than of the peasant , or «? artisan . * _' •'
How , oe when this stateof things will end none -a _ttll , Aro Ireland ' s _mlseriei and death * endured _w wint-r , to visit ui thi * f Is It our turn to suffer in *»! _msnrisr ? ' If an avenging Heaven have decreed it » _w will dare to say ir , ia wrong ! We have stood by ana witnessed _fr-lsnd's _sufferiags with calm _indifiVence _or-Bbussd them by taunting tbem with being iB ] e | Md {/* willing to work for their bread . Our minister , wer ! the first to accusethera of a want of energy and > elf reliance ; nearly the whole of th * press followed up ( hi slanderous accusation , and . thousands of vulgar mouth * have echoed theory , worn atthe _vsry time these _thousand have been eating the food wrenched 'rom that onka country . Englishmen * apply to the parish for _reiitf and yon will be told that yea are idle also . '
- Whence comes the famine that sow assails us ! u it occasioned , too , by a rot among-potato ** _CShallth _^ be a general fast proclaimed _tble year on account of a dearth arising from a failure in the harvest ? Our wiift governor * ' will surely be able to afford some reason for itexistence , " If the Archbishop of Canterbury _csooot There _iswod enongh ; this we ara eertain of , for _tbtreis probably more in store tban erer thero was in _England at any one time before . There is also sufficient clothing for we can see it moth eaten through lying piled up ia ' very draper ' * shop . The working men , ln the simplL city of their minds , will ever believe , when they ue enough around them , tbat tbey having been its prodt cer _* _. have a just claim to a share .
Trade Is bud , but wbat _ialfbe cause f If food ii _ibnn . dant , and yet lis producers are famishing , must it not be obvious tp every one that the faults lie in tbe u _* jaat distribution . If two classes are considered as having been equally ' engaged fn ii * production , via . the capl . tallst and' the labourer , and if the farmer has more than enough and the latter too Uttle , then it is clear that tbe labourer has been defrauded of hiB due . If this be true , then the remedy is plainly b . fore you , viz , ' to give more for labour . Whenever a panic In trade presents itself , raise the wages . of tbe workmen ; no . thing else will effect a permanent cure , A course diametrically opposite is however pursued ; we hear of no . thing now but want and misery , and fresh attempts con . _tinnallybding madd te reduce the wages of tbe workmen
Advantage Is taken of the _preunt dependent state of tbe labouring population to tear from tbem a greater por . tion of tbeir earnings ; and as a pretext is never wanting when needed , the reason assigned ts , that it ig _nscsisary to enable the home capitalist to compete with the fo . relgner . One handloom manufacturer , ofthe name ef Shepherd , in Blackburn , has reduced hia work within the last fire weeks from fifteen pence a cut , which sumhe was previously pa * ing , to below a shilling . In P-es . ton they bave lately reduced several mills ; and tbe f se * aud abatements are of so scandalous a nature as to ex . cite univewal disgust . Patient and submistive as ths people of Preston are , almost proverbially become so , the tyranny practised towards them is nearly unbearable , Oae mill owner , ' of the name of Trelfal ) , after keep .
ing his mill standing a fortnight , run It on tbe third week three full days , and deducted out of that week ' s pay three weeks' rent from all his tenant * . On * work . man came home with ninepenee for his week ' s wage ; another with sixpence ; another with threepence ; asd oue left all . besides being _half-a-crown in debt . Thefact ie incredible . ' -1 could not when I first beard of it , believe it , and in order to ascertain its truth I persuaded a person , acquainted witb these poor workmen , to go to _thtir houses and make tbe inquiry . But when you at . ttntively scrutinise the countenance of this mill own tr for the purpose of taking a physiognomical survey , jou . see a bloated sensualist , with evidently no mere sen- * than a pig , and a heart as unfeeling as a stone . Another mill owner , of the name of Gooding , had the other week
no less tban ten cutlookers , each cut being made to pais through the hands of several of these lookers , so tbat if one happened to miss a fault another might be sure to find it . < Every fault , however trivial , is subject at this mill , to an abatement of twopence , and tbe orders are to let no fault pass unabated , whatever may be ths charaoter of the weavir . Oo it , mill owners ! instead of uniting together to _k-epupwsget _, unite rather to pull them down ; continue to heap up your piles of wealth , regardless of the means ; bring down our population to the level of the Irish , and then retire to your mansion * , apart from the misery you have created , to enjoy it a * you best may .

¦ _**»¦ CONFLAGRATION AT HOXTON . One of the moat extensive fires that haa occurred inthe metropolis during the present year , broke out shortly after four o'olock on _Monday afternoon , io _Pitfield-street , Hoxton Old Town ,, consuming , before it was subdued , property rained at several thon * sand pounds , and for upwards of five hours , causing the greatest confusion to prevail in that densely * packed neighbourhood ! The premises in which ths disaster commenced belonged to Messrs Laurence and Co ., timber-merchants and builders , situate in Pitfield-street , but extending into _Queen-Btreet , Bootstreet , and Garden-court . These were of a most extensive character , the timber-yard itself being several hundred feet long , and ofa proportionate width , whioh before the _conflagration began , was
literally covered with piles of deals , stack * of veneers , and other valuable property . There were also sundry manufactories for the joiners , the car * _penters , and the painters , _contiguous to which were the back premises belonging to the houses in tho _before-mentionedstreots . * The engines arrived soon after the outbreak oi the fire , which , by the period tbis assistance bad arrived , had assumed a most fearful appearance , ths greater portion of tke workshops , and nearly a dozen lofty piles of timber were wrapped in flames , and it at once beoame apparent that the subduing of thefire would be a work of great difficulty . The'firemen mounted the tops ofthe surrounding houses , and by carrying the hose with them , were is expectation of being able to confine the flames to tbe premises belonging to Messrs Laurence . _TJnfertu *
nateiy they were doomed to disappointment , and notwithstanding their utmost exertions tbe flames were blown into the houses in Q , ueen-street . One tall double bouse of three floors , first became ignited , whioh being filled with , oils and colours , "my few minutes passed away ere this building was one sheet of flame . From thence the work of destruction continued to travel down the street , firing the roofs and backs of the houses belonging to Mr Webster , bedstead-maker and japantier . No . 5 Mr Coombes , bootmaker , No . 6 ; Mr Dunning , general turner , No . 7 ; Mr Wybrow , cbair _* maker , No . 8 ; and Mr Griffith , cow-keeper arid dairyman , No . 3 . By order of the chief officers the firemen brought ail their force to bear upon this last-named property , and happily the further extension _« f the flames in that direction was soon arrested . Meanwhile , the fire continued to _trayel in Messrs Laurence ' s building , firing stack * upon stacks of timber , until several hundred _squara feet of them were completely enveloped .
Horrible Murder At Madrid. Madmd, Nov. 2...
HORRIBLE MURDER AT MADRID . Madmd , Nov . 22 . —A murder was committed on Tuesday last , which has given rise to the strangestreports , though at first it appeared merely an ordinary case of robbery as the object , and of murder as the means of effecting it . Senor Fullera , _chapiaio ofthe Sake and Duohess of _Rianzares , occupies ahouse or suite of apartments , situated in the lower _atory of the palaco of the latter , in theCalle de las-Re-as . The . only person living with him was a female housekeeper , who is spoken of as being goed _* lookin **> though not yery young . It appears tbat the chspbn had gone out on the afternoon in question to purchase some books in the Calle del Leon , which is quite at the other nart of the town . He returned at
eve , and found the unfortunate woman lying dead on the floor in a pool of bloed , with her head near ] - * cut off , in fact only retained by some fragments of skin * jt is said that there were marks on her person which indicated that she made a desperate resistance . A gilt button , with some blue cloth attached to it , _is said to have been found on the ground . No cries were heard . The murderer , whoever he was , had washed hia hands afterwards in the wa _sh-hand basin Itis astonishing how'Httle the journals occupy themselves with the murder committed in the palace ot Queen Christina . It _apoears that the cbaplin ha * been arrested , but that he is able to prove that he ffour
sable to prove that he had been away ur hours when he returned that afternoon , white the medical men who were called in state that the ifl « _- der could not have boen committed more than three * _qaartewofan hour before he saw tbe body . » should be observed that there is a constant guard _« soldiers who parade befofe the Palace , and -W * neither the sentinels nor the porter of tbe _estab _isUmenthad seen any one enter or leave about _tn » J time , and consequently the inference that it *** _- have been committed by some one in the Palace J » almost beyond doubt . The murdered woman M « recently arrived , it is aaid . fromValenoia , aiid _*& about thirty years of age .
