' Trie P ** Parl , ament * lt _wlU Ieave a plentiful icy { Ley of " . good intentions" to its successor . A i K rflost _gratirying testimony to the high _charac' ar ta sad invaluable public services of Mr Duneombe _paiLpar nament was incidentall y given by the Secrerv o of state for tlie Home _department , Sir George _ev , _Grey hen speaking on tbe Prisons' Bill . It will ! re £ remem bered tbat at an early period of the Session tl tr Duneombe brought the mismanagement of the ilki falls at Woolwich under the notice of Parliament } tl L the appalling statement he then felt it bis duty , m « make theHome Secretary made a cavalier and
k _jscourteons answer , to the effect that the stateni _^ ts wereeither incorrect , or grossly exaggerated ; I _-ud _was with much difficulty induced to issue a pi _^ mission of inquiry . Mr Duneombe closely ati fended that inquiry—and produced such evidence b - more than substantiated all his statements , refi _S iting and incredible as many of them seemed at it fist sig ht . Sir G . Grey seized the first opportunity s aferei to make the amende honourable , and toder Jjre that he thought the House and the country i eere indebted to Mr Duneombe in a vote of thanks to bis services in this matter . We believe hisserin the of the
i _^ _jes case _Millbank Penitentiary _iui fli dry . aft 61 the close of last Session , were equally , _Jjerltori ous . and led to great reforms in the internal i man agement of that prison , though Sir G . Grey ) $ A not choose to make as public an acknowledg-\ j __ nt as he has done on this occasion . We cordlially _tougratulate the Chartists , and the trades of this _{ Oinitty on baaring for their Parliamentary leader p „_ champion a man whose intre pidity , talent , _jjgh sense of honour , aud _first-rate business habits , _jje so universally acknowledged . If any one man _rtjssessfcs the undivided esteem ofthe people of
Eng-]_ nn , and deserves to do so , it is Thomas Slingsby pnncombe , ' who , whether in his place in the House _p as a member of committees , is known and { . teemed as an able , indefatigable , and honest _member of the Legislature .
British Invasion Of Portugal. " They Who...
BRITISH INVASION OF PORTUGAL . " They who permit oppression , share tbe crime !" At the very moment when the people of Portugal roe about to secure the _conquestof their liberty by the overthrow of the Lisbon despotism , at that moment tbe fruits of a long and patriotic straggle have been snatched from them by a British force employed jt the expense of the people of this country to keep lie Portuguese in slavery . i British arms have secured the triumph of Donna jlsria _overhercruelly-avronged subjects . Fraud and forc e , perfidy and violence , have been used by British { gents , acting under the British Bag , for the suppression of the liberties of a friendly and allied people . Portugal is coerced , and England degraded !
It behoves the British people , for their honour , to repudiate the acts of their Government . The Whigs may conspire with foreign tyrants to crash the freejam of nations , bnt Englishmen must show that the conspiracy i 9 viewed by them with the utmost abhorrence . We have much pleasure in announcing , that tbe Executive Committee _« f the National Charter Association have determined to call A PDBLIC MEETING , for the purpose of _ptotejting against tbe Armed Intervention in _Porfugal-The Meetko will take place at THE LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTE , JOHN STREET TOTTENHAM

Legal. Notice.—I Am Daily Receiving Conm...
LEGAL . NOTICE . —I am daily receiving _conmaauueations from persons requiring gratuitous legal _advicejn . the Star . whose very letters prove them to be men of property . The space of this paper is not to be monopolised by the rich to the detriment of the poor , whose cases shall al . ways obtain the first consideration . Rich men requiring advice shall in future receive private ansavers upon remitting a fee of from five shillings to half a sovereign according to the length of their cases and their ability to pay . Ersest Jones . J , P . Shith . —I suppose the father or some friend of the apprentice entered into the usual covenant for the good conduct ofthe apprentice , and if so be may he sued on the covenant for the loss of the services of the
apprentice . 5 , The holder of the note can only sue for the instalments that have become due ; but similar promissory notes are sometimes so drawn that the whole sum is made payable in case default is made in the payment of any instalments—it may possibly be so in yonr case . If you vrill send me a correct copy of the note , I will then advise you aa to the _be-t mode of proceeding and the proper _coart . _Qeobgs Roberts . —If tbe collector ofthe poor ' s _rategives yon receipt for 15 s . 6 d . poors rate for " snch and inch premises , '' ( correctly specifying them ) that will be enough ; and whether he names the late or present occupier avill be of no consequence . Tou bad better take him the money . Jakes Hendry . —Carriage-hill . —The rea _* -on which yen
say the society assign for not paying , viz ., that the " income tax _absorbea all their income , * ' ia a palpable falsehood , for the tax does not amount to much more than one-fortieth part of this income . I de not see what course youcan take , except that of prosecuting vigorously the suit which you say is pleading in the Scotch court . X . C—Should you acquire future property , the creditor allude to , or any other of yonr present creditors could bring yon before tbe court , and it ( the cowl ) would probably direct you to apply a part of it towards tbe satisfaction of yonr debts ; but the creditor alluded to wonld only come in rateably with the others . Jons Middleton . —You can only distrain the crop for the rent , as you have not , I suppose , _obtained any lodgement for the debt ; but as your tenant appears
to have abandoned both the land and the crop , I think you may safely seli the whole crop , and , after deducting the rent , pay the surplus to your tenant shonld he ever demand it . W . _Eeish . —I cannot aee how it could happen that trust money belonging to you came to be paid to the official assignee of the bankrupt . There must be seme fact or circumstance , I should think , which you have -omitted to state . Without further information I _cannot advise you as to the course you should take . If I knew the real names of tbe bankrupt and of all the other parties , when the bankruptcy took place , when -die trust-money was paid to the official assignee , and the name of the present official ass i gnee , I would write to bim and mig ht probably obtain the information you wish for . S . _SraeiET . —I will write to Mr Brongbton ; though it maybe as well that I should first know in tcJwt year he mortgage to him was madeand how long he and
, p the party to whom it is supposed he has sold the _o roperty have been in possession of it , or in the receipt f the rents I suppose it is quite certain that there h as been neither a foreclosure nor release of the equity of redemption . S Arkisok . —Except under an Act of Parhament , a public footpath , immemoriauy enjoyed , cannot be stopped up . Any one may pull down or remove the obstruction , provided it be done peaceably ; but the party removing it would render himself liable to an action ; and in such action the question avould be , whether the footpath was a legal _ pnblic footpath or not ! _________ Y . 1 * . -The lad not having learnt the business , and you having had his services for twelve months , I am _incited to think that you would not recover any por tion of the intended fee , or premium , were you to sue for it . Brother Chartist , ShadweU . —No allowance what _j ever ; and if a person duly summoned does not attend he may be fined , unless he can show a good reason for his attendance

you ought to make ; and if you wish it , I will _prepare you either a will or deed of gift , . as may be most _adm ' able , and at a very moderate charge . ¦ Do not attempt to do the thing yourself , as you seem to wish ; for if yo u do ¦ questions and disputes may . arise , and half of your property be spent in _( litigation , as is but too commonly the case where people make their own wills . ' . ¦ ' _Whxiah Boe . —If you will send me a copy of that part of Mr Mawson _' s will by which he gave the annuity to your late father , I shall he better able to advise upon your case . _fioBEBT S _^ s _p ln your firstletteryon state tbat Sarah Machindied «' _avithoutwilUng '' the arrears of the 12 s aweek given by the will [ of Joseph Machin .

Before I can do anything further m the business I must see a conv of her will ; and you must inform me if Barnes and Scares nave proved it _.

WitUAX THORPE _.-Ifyour aunt should be so ill-advised as to proceed against you , you must plead your demand against her b y way of setoff ; but should the court be of opinion that it is a case- in which set-off cannot be P leaded , you must proceed against your aunt for ker lodgings and the care of her furniture ; but you are not , I conceive , entitied to any commission on the debt which was recovered . The best way for both your aunt and yourself will be to settle the matter amicably ; audi think the fair thing would be for each of you to forego your claim npon the other . Thomas Gilbert , Islington . —I supppose jour contracts were by avord of mouth , and not in writing . If so you must sue your debtor in the Small Debts' Court for _work and labour done for him . K . —1 . The alhninistrator must not pay any debt that could not be recovered ia a Court of Law . 2 . Sendmeacopyofthepromissorynote _and'I can

Sinclair . _—jlf your title and the property is good you and your brother and sister may either sell your shares or raise money npon them by way of mortgage ; but if you avill send me a copy of the deed of gift I shall be able to give jou a more decided opinion . WiLiuu Davis . —Though you do not knoav where your relative died , yet you probably know the year , or near it , in which he died . If you do , you must inform me , and also g i ve me Ms name and I may then possibly be able to procure some information respecting his will . If you know of any friends or near relation he had in this country give me the names . Thomas Shepuebdson . —As it now appears that Mrs Gant is dead , there is no remedy for her dower . I will , however , avrite to MrWaiman _, and see if he will make any reparation for the wrong he did in withholding her dower . _Bichabo _Jacksow . —If yon arill send me a copy of Mary Broadhead's will , I will render you every assistance in
my power . One or thk Land Company , Fortsea . —You may recover the old debt uuder the Small Debts' Act ; but you must , of course , prove the delivery of the goods . I suppose the receipts which you have given for goods subsequently sold , show on the very face of the receipts when they were sold . Mr James Sweet . —If the executor , npon being cited , should refuse to prove the will , the court , upon the testator ' s next of kin declining to take out administration with the will annexed , avould , no doubt , grant such administration to your friend , unless some creditor ofthe testator to a larger amount should apply for such administration ; but if the house and land form a sufficient security for the money due to yonr friend , Mb best plan will be to call _unon the devisees of the house and land
to turn the equitable mortgage , which he acquired by the deposit ot the title-deeds , into a legal one ; and if avith the power of sale—supposing the devisees will give it—so much the better . At present your friend has no " right to sell . " If the house and land are of sufficient value to cover your friend ' s claim , his money would seem to be quite safe ; but I would advise him te obtain a _regular legal mortgage as soon as may be , and I will render him every assistance in my power aboutit . An Essex Chartist . —No necessity for a codicil . I was not before aware that the will contained a residuary devise in your favour , as well as residuary bequest The circumstance of the will being made before yon were admitted to the property makes no difference . The attestation of the avill is in conformity with tbe late Wills ' Act
_MISCELLANEOUS . Manchester . —We have been reluctantly compelled to abridge the notice ofthe death of Mr M'Cullock Some further particulars concerning the deceased aaill appear in our next The _O'Consorviixe Tea-tbay , to he balloted for at Bilston , on tbe 6 th of July , is richly embellished with an engraving of O'Counorrille , accurately copied from one ofthe coloured plates presented avith the Star . The tray is of first-rate quality and the colouring the most splendid ! The border is an excellent imitation of rosewood edged and inlaid with gold ; and the form ofthe
tray is what is called by the trade tbe Victoria Gothic style !! not a very charming name to the democratic body who are forced to contribute to the support of " Victoria against their inclinations . However , if the name ofthe form is not an appropriate one , the system of freedom and independence avhich it represents , and the purpose for avhich it is to be balloted renders it worthy of the consideration of every land member and Chartist in the kingdom . J . Almond , Secretary . Dr . Webb . —We will notice the meeting in our next . This week we are overwhelmed with important matter .
To The Chartists Of The United Kingdom. ...
TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Fbiksds , —Every one who has read the manly and straightforward address from Mr O'Connor , to the electors of Nottingham , must feel a sincere desire to see him placed in the Commons' House of Parliament , where he would be enabled to support the noble leader , T . S-Duneombe , Esq ., in battling with the opponents ofthe labouring classes , who are debarred the rights and privileges of freemen . Now yoa have ' an opportunity , to show the world you are in earnest , by assisting ns in returning him
M . P , for this borough , and in so doing you will be only doing your duty , and exercising that moral power which you ought to feel the _greatestpride in employing forso noble a purpose . It is generally known that the operatives of Nottingham consist chiefly of stocking makers , who are paid so little for their labour that they cannot spare mnch towards paying electioneering expenses , and therefore we consider it the duty of every admirer of tbe principles of Chartism , to come forward with his tnt ' fe , and so convince the world that the workingmen are determined to have at least one real
representative . Yon are all well aware there are great expenses at an election , which mast be paid ; such as public meetings , booths , etc , Ac . ; and we contend it would be disgraceful on our part to allow , or expect , Mr O'Connor to spend one farthing . Remember Mr O'Connor has worked for us as no man previous ever worked , and it is now onr turn to convince him of oursincerity , by _working to return him , wbich may easily be done by making a strong effort , as the amount of money required would be small , and the means are as simple .
The Third Section of the Land Company has closed—the Company now numbers 18 , 000 members , and if every member will pay one penny per week for six weeks , it will amount to £ 450 , which sum will be sufficient to pay all necessary expenses . Bat the subscription must not be confined to the Land members alone , for probably we may have to demand a scrutiny , and then a much larger sum would be required than for the election ; but let ns beg of yea to rally round as , aud give as the means to secure a victory . As a last appeal , we beg of you to remember it is your own cause—the only cause which can elevate the working classes from their present degraded state . It will be the Land and the Charter that will be brought forward in the person of Mr O'Connor . See tbat both are made triumphant .
We hope this appeal will be taken up immediately , and that each secretary will forward the amount collected to Mr James Sweet , bookseller , Goose-gate , Nettingham , who will after the election publish a Balance Sheet in the Stab , so tbat every subscriber will know how his money has been expended ; and if any surplus remains , it will be . devoted to any other purpose the majority may think proper . We remain friends , yours on behalf of the Committee , J . Skebbit , Secretary . W . Mott , Chairman . Nottingham , June 8 , 1847 .

THE CENTRAL REGISTRATION AND ELECTION COMMIT TEE TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM .
_FMioir-CouNTBTMEN , —Our long and continued agitation for the People ' s Charter has resulted in implanting in the minds of the unrepresented millions of this country a deep and lasting conviction that justice never can be awarded them until they are folly and honestly represented in tbe House of Commons . In order to effect this desirable end it is necessary that no opportunity should be lost of appealing tothe electoral body , and of demanding at their hands a faithful discharge ot that duty which the present unjust distribution of political power allows them only to perform . Being strongly impressed with a _convictiontbat the battle for enfranchisement must be fought within the walls of Parliament , we hail with pleasnre the attempt which the _Chartis of Derby are now making to secure the return ef
MR PHILIP M'GRATH , one ofthe best and ablest men tbat has yet stood forward to advocate tht great principles ofthe Charter . Great credit is due to the men of Derby for making such a selection , and as they are about doing the work of the nation , we hope that they will receive national co-operation and assistance . Let tbe Chartists of the empire , therefore , be up and doing . Money is wanted , and it would be grossly unjust to impose upon the enthusiastic band of patriots at Derby the expense of a struggle tbat ought to fall equally upon all parties concerned . Mr M'Grath has declared his resolution of going to poll , and of thereby affording the honest and in * dependent electors of Derby an opportunity of re . cording their votes for tbe only just and honest form of government that can be advocated . Mr M'Grath stands as the champion of Freedom of Person . Freedom of Conscience .

u Z . —ATMM ? _r * tr 3 fuHDEB . _ j amwi tortus Brock , a _half-pay lieutenant in tbe army , _avns afoeed at the bar , before the Hon . G . C fforton ; for final ) examination on a charge of stabbing Ms wife Ann , avito intent ta murder her . The first witness called was Mr Mason , a surgeon , in Hi Kh . _streot , _Newington _. who deposed ! that about twelve o clock on Thursday noon the arife of tbe prisoner was brought to his surgery , and his attention having been called to a stab upon tf » left arm , he examined it , and ntabont two inches above the elbow found a woundof a triangular shape two inches In _lengt : . On further examining the arm he found a second wound ' underneath , but not of so extensive a _character , and it was evident to him that the wound bad been inflicted
by the same instrument , which entered at the top and came out at the bottom . It avas his opinioD that the avound had been inflicted b y the knife in the possession of the omcer , and avhich he understood belonged to the prisoner . Mr Mason proceeded to say that having-heard the prisoner had received a gun shot wound on the head in battle , he examined the wound , and found that it ava 9 perfectly superficial and not at all likely to affect the prisoner ' s mind . The evidence given on the previous examination was then read over to the prisoner , who aBked has eldest son if he could swear he saw him take the knife from the table before his mother was stabbed , a * was implied by his evidence ! The son replied lie
could not swear that . In reply to Mr Norton as to the state which the prisoner was in when he returned homo on Thursday morning , the witness said he appeared to have been _drinlting . Tbe prisoner said it appeared to be the intention of his wife to press the law against him to the utmost extremity , but in so doing she would be only punishing herself , as the moment the charge against him became public his balf . pay would be taken from him , and the result would be tbat she would be obliged to go into the workhouse . Mr Norton hoped that this threat would in no way influence Mri Brock , for be felt ¦• ati ' _stied that whatever might bo the result , the Governnwnt would not let ber be a losur . Tbe prisoner was then committed to Newgate for trial .
THAMES . —The Police Aoaih . —William Hanley , a police constable of the H division , No . 85 , was charged with ' attempting to pass a counterfeit five-shilling-pirce . The solicitor to the Mint was in attendance to watch the case . Mary Senior , of * 29 , Hosier-lane , City , said that she came doavn to assist ber mother-in-law at Fairfield place during the ' fair at Stepney . On Wednesday week , between tbe hours of eight and nine o ' clock in the evening , the prisoner came to hor and asked for a penny roll _, tendering her a _five-shillingplene in paym- nt . She went out to get the change , but when she went back the prisoner was gone . He never came back for tbe change . The prisoner , in bis defence , said ho had three bad crowns in his pocket , each of which avas connected with a distinct charge , but forgot to wrap them up in paper , and the consequence was they mingled with some penny pieces whi : h he had in his pocket also , _an-5 be tendered the coin in mistake . It was not probable that he , being on duty at the time , would knowingly proffer a base
coin , avhich was marked for the purpose of being pro duced in evidence , Mr Ballantine ( to the defend . int}—How is it that you came possessed of tho ba ° e coin ? Hanley—They were connected avith charges which I had to prosecute , and it is my duty to keep it an my possession for twenty-one days . Mr Ballantine—If that be the _regulation , it is a very bad one , and so far as my _district in concerned , I'll endeavour to put an end to it , I nm not at all satisfied with the explanation which you have given . On the next day you should have found yourself with either a counterfeit crown the less or a penny the more , and in that case it would have been your duty to have gone to your inspector , and have reported to that effect , telling him that you had been guilty of somo mistake . You had in right to have three pieces of fal ? e coin in your pocket , and the arrangement which _allows of such a thing is a very bad one . They should tall be given up to the superintendent . I shall dismiss tho cane on the present evidence , and it is for the defendant to see how the commissioners will view his conduct .
SOUTHWARK Henry A _* her Fitz _' ames , the boy between eleven and twelve _yenrs of ago , whoso _enso was reported in the Northern Star of last week for attempting to poison his mother and her infant , was _brought before Mr Cottingham , for re-examination on the charge . The prisoner said that a man named Jones , a casual pauper , in tho habit of sleeping iu St Saviour ' s _Prnon Workhouse , was tbe person who instigated him fo commit the act , and had furnished him with the arsenic for the purpose The Inspector had made every in nuiry to ascertain if there avas' such a man as tho prisoner described accustomed to sleep there , and could _gathernoinformation on the subject . He ( the Inspector ) therefore believed there , was no truth in it , and a little girl between eight and nine _yiars of age , the prisoner ' s
sister , had mentioned that her brother told her he had put arsenic in the water with which his mother made coffee , on Sunday morning last , when she was attacked avith Illness and vomiting Mr Cottingham had th <> little girl referred to brought up to the court , and when questioned on the subject , she at firnt hesitated to answer , but when pressed , and told that she would not be harmed if she told the truth , she then replied that her brother di'l communicate to her that he had pnt arsenic in tbe water that was used for the coffee , to destroy his mother ; and also that he had mixed _rIhss and precipitate _powdi-r in the child's food . Mr Cottingham to the prisoner . —Tou hear what your sister has said , is it true ? Prisoner . —Some part of it , but not all , Mr Cottingham , —Is there any truth in
your statement that Jones , urged you to poison your mother to get possession of her property , for I believe it to be pure invention on your part t Prisoner . — It is true all I have said about Jones , ho did give me tho poison , and told me hoav to _ubo it . Mrs Fitzjnmes here stated that about , six weeks ago her son brought heme a lump of green stuff , which ho said was poison , that Jones had given lam—that _tvhen she got it she took it to a chemist ' s shop in _Bermondscystreet and that on being tested it avas pronounced _nat to be poison , althouzb if t"ken internally to be of a deleterious character . She added that sho had none ofthe "stuff , " having thrown it all _aavay . In reply t » Mr Cottingham , the witness said her infant , whfch it was expected was ill , through having glass and precipitate
powder mixed amongst its food hy her son , avas getting better . Inspector Hornsby said he called upon thomedical man , who attended the child , and he did aaot credit thM anything of a deleterious nature was administered in it * food , as , if such hail been the case , it avould not have survived . Mr Cottingham ( to the prisoner )—Bid you mix _'inythirig in the _infants food ? Pri . _aoaer—Yes , I did Mr Cottingham—What was it ? Prisoner—One piece of class about that size ( pointing to his thumb nail , ) and a piece of stone too . Mr _Cottiaghana—You told your mother that you mixed precipitate poavder j then that is not . true * Prisoner—It is not . I put a p i ece of glass nnd a small stone . Mr Cottingham—What
food was it you put them into ? Prisoner—Some boiled bread nnd milk . M _. vmolher was in bed at tho time . Mrs Hales , the nurse , had care of the ahild , and she if avas avho fed it . After some further proceeding ? of a similar character , Mr Cottingham sa _& that the offehee was still involved in mystery ; that he should avish the Inspector would apply at the chemise's shop in _Bermoud . sey . street , and ascertain whether the mother's _statement was truo , namely , that she took a piece of" green stuff , ' as she termed it , piven to _ht-r by ber . son , and had i _» _examined by a chemist . It would ba necessary to _ha « e thi chemist's evidence , and also tc . make further faquir ) into the affair . He should therefore remand the prisoner ,

Piter _Wkiiisoton-stbeet , Strane .. —This case has been already noticed in the Northern Star . _Further-depositions have been entered into a _ainjt tho man Hill , aWas Dolly , and Elizabeth Cleveland , for tho murder of ber male inf . aat . This being tbe first time the female prisoner was present to _ansavcr to the _thargo , she _attracted , as is usual on such occasions , partieular attention , _aaad tho court was crowded during the day ' . She is a tall tbin woman , about forty years of age , of dark complexion , hard features , and heavy _cya brows , and during tho examination she paid the greatest attention to tho statements made by the several witnesses , which avere merely the same in substance as occurred on the _fbriiy-r occasions , and before the _coroner ' s jury , _avithont putting any question , although she expressed her dissent in . iv fow instances , by shaking her head , and other gestures . Mr _Jardino
_considered that the evidence against the male prisoner was not of such a nature ns to warrant his committal to _Newgate , and ho thought ho was perfeetly justified in ordering him to be discharged , the only _eridpneo against him b _^ ing that he was seen on the evening of tho day in question leaving tho house , as he avas accustomed to do , In a clandestine manner ; but tho nature of _Jhe _etidenco against the female being of a very _suspicious and strong character , she should be fully committed to Newgate . Mr Wolff then applied that , as she was just _recorered from her oonfinewont , and _consrimently in a very dellcnte state of health , she might be conveyed Lt her own expense to Newgate in a cab instead _oftfio prison van . Mr Jardine , hoavevcr , declined to make any ordar upon the _su-ject , and the _prleanw avas remoued from tho bar . The male prisoner avas then detained upon the coroner ' s warrant , and they were both conveyed at six o'clock to Newgate in the van ,

"Unionfor ( he Million . ' ? TO THE TRADES oTgREAT BRITAIN IS CONNECTION WITH THE NATIONAL TRADES ASSOCIATION . The Central Committee beg to call Mae attention ofthe trades to the . fact of the monthly contribution of one halfpenny per man having heen ' abolished by a vote of the late conference , and •» several of the trades are considerably in arrears , the committee _augo-ests _tbe-proprietTO / sflch arrears be _% immediately paid off . Tbe committee beg also to _caft your attention to the _resolution , a ) s & passed at _' thc
conference , requiring all _ssntributUHis to' be paid monthly , and that any trade -j _ermitting _Dhew arrears to exceed three months wifl be o * rt ef benefit for tavo months after such arrears are * , paid up ; the committee , therefore , urge upon tlie- members tha ? absolute necessity , not only of all _arreare being immediately _transmuted , but tbat in _futnra the greatest regularity _should he _ohssuied in transmitting the payments according , to rule .
The trades must perceive how _impossible itJ will be for tne Executive to properly _perfotfm their duty tothe _ifcsoc / ation _, if the strictest atifcntion iff sot paid to ai regularity ii ? She payments . The Central Committee will be _placetl in tbe paiaful _positism of refusing - support incases of reduction- '; -on the other hand , they beg to assure the tradfes-that , ia all cases of _retfuction or _oHHer attacks on the rights of labour , Jthe _? will be guided ! in their decision b ' y the amount of funds in hand , hawtig matte up'their minds to resist _svery reductisni offered , as fat * as-the trades , by punctually remitting ; _Dlieir money ,. affords them the means of doing so .
Tbe committee are aware they have the power of callwig for sueh _a-Mlional levins * at may be fbund necessary , hut they beg to submit Shat there would be a _manifestinjusDice in calling ) br additional payments-from those who always bav _^ _paidpunciuaH _^; while so many' remained in arreat-3- ; besides do Central Committee have no wish fe > call for extra * levies unless in cases- of absolute _necessity . The committee beg also to'urge the _necessity of pushing the interests of the Association in tlieir respective districts among those trades ivho have not yet joined , as the power of the _Association must always be in exact proportion to the numbers and' consequent pecuniary resources .
The committee beg _mona- particularly bo-call your attention to the fact that there arc a _number of men in various parts of the country working for the Association ; now , as you are- aware in trade , it is a work of considerable time * before the produce so manufactured ean be brought into the mnrkeb . consequently a considerable outlay is required _to > keep the men fully employed , tliey therefore urgently appeal to those trades who may have private funds invested in government securities , to immediately _taks- steps to withdraw such sums ant ) invest it avith ths-employment department of the Association .
. The directors of tbat branch association offers 4 per cent , per annum for cash advanced on loan , the directors always taking care to retain a sufficient sum of monies so invested to meet contingencies , avith a knowledge that capital saved by the trades , and so employed , is converted into a most powerful engine for the protection ofthe sons of Labour from the grasping inroads of capital . Reflect for a _ni oment in what manner your invested capital is now
empbye '' . Is it not used to grind and oppress , instead of being applied as the most powerful means of protecting your wages . If ever the great problem be solved , bow machinery can be made to ivork for you , instead of against you , it must be by you , the _trades using your combined means for purchasing and working that machinery . by this mean ' s alone will the master be made a blessing instead of a curse to our order .
The Central Committee Met On Monday Morn...
The Central Committee met on Monday morning for tbe despatch of business . The members severally reported their proceedings during the past week . Sir Wil . liamson visited the block printers of Crayford , avho has been offered a reduction of thirty-eight per cent . He succeeded in obtaining an interview avith the employer , and we aro happy to say succeeded in bringing the affair to an issue , perfectly satis . factory to all parties concerned , by _imiuciui , ' the employer to withdraw the reduction . Mr Humphreys reponed that , on the 3 _lst of May , he attended the Con ference ofthe croavn-glass makers of England , whom he addressed . The most intense interest was manifested , and a resolution _unammouslv carried , with three- times three cheers , in favour of tbe Association ; and tho
delegates further enjoined to use all their influence , on tlieir return to their respective localities , in spreading a knowledge ofthe objects and principles of the _Assoeia . tion . Mr Peel reported that he had attended the power-loom woollen aveavers of Keighley , who were working under a protest against a reduction of wages . Mr Peel succeeded ia obtaining Mi interview with the employer , and after nearly a two hours' interview , completely succeeded in inducing that gentleman to avithdraw the reduction . The hands , tothe number of about one hundred and fifty , avere paid on tho same day , tbe advanced wage ; aad the respectable employer boro ample testimony to the quiet and equitable spirit evinced by the Association through its agent . The result of this important « ff , iir excited the liveliest interest throughout ihe avhole town nnd neighbourhood , and will certainly give _greai impetus to the progress of the movement in
that district , contrasting so powerfully as it does avith the protracted struggle maintained eome months back in the same town , with scarcely so favourable a result . —Mr Peel further reported tbat on the nest day he waited on Mr Lemare , of Manchester , to induce tbat gentleman to forego a very serious reduction offered to that gentleman's hands . Mr Lemare reerived the depatation , Me _8-rs Peel , Parker and Jacobs , most politely - , but stated it as a principle which he could in no case depart from , not IV permit the interference of third parties between bim and his hands . The deputation in _vain attempted to combat and show the inconrenienbe o such a princiyle . Mr Lemare politely intimated that , at present , he did not feel disposed to depart from bis custom . The deputation thin avithdreav . On meeting the hands , they ave . e advised to send a deputation _Srcm their own number immediately .
The deputation returned in about an hour with the pleasing news that the reduction was with ( 1 raavn asd that the men might return to their avork in the morning . Mr Peol proceeded next day to Bacup , avbere he achieved the third great victory in the same aveek , and proved in a manner not to be disputed the superiority ofthe principle of conciliation over tho hateful system of rash turn-outs and strikes . He found on arriving at Bacup upavards of 200 _powerlooaaa wcavsr * and factory hands out in resistance of a reduction , and that they had been out for three weeks . In this delicate state of affairs Mr Peel sough t an interview avith tho employers and after muoh argument and negotiation , oecupaiug tho gicutest part of tho day , he feels proud to say he again succeeded in restoring peace and _nscuing ihe toavnof Bacup from all the _noiteuieaat , ot a protracud strike . The very great civility and l _. _indnefSShOHn to Mr P . by the two guntleroeauall for a marked _expa-ession of thanks .
' It is needless to add tbat this _oase has placed the Association in a proud position in Burlap ; immense adhesions _, are expected as the fruits of thi * bloodless victory . On Monday oven & afl ; the 7 th inst , Mr Robson and Mr Humphries attended' a meeting of this hoot aud shoe makers , Greenwich-, for the purpose of setting forth _io that body the plans and _objects of the National Association . The deputation * respectively entered into the usual explanatory rnmurks . A number of _ques tions avere naked , which were very satisfactorily , answered . _IVo have every reason to expect tbat thisiMdy will very _shortly connect _tltemselves aaith the Association as the _ _only _Burc aud certain remedy for tlieir _^ _Badcs _gi-ievanceB .
Messrs W , Williamson and Shackleton _attended a general meeting of the joiners . ' society , held at the Globe Inn , ou Tuesday evening _, to explain the _obj-jiets and _principles of tho United IvadM Association . MvS _& _ackleton opened the _business of Ihe evening with !\ , ?* w practical remarks on tbe avojrking of tho _Assot- _j-Wion , after «» hieh Mr Williamson delivered nnable nnd'f 3 ective address , showing the _superiority of a _National Association _stttioual or isolated ones . Several questions , were asked >_ r various member ' , and satisfactory _ansnww given , the result of arhieh . was , afavourable vote for ib / _sAssociationwas carried .
A _publie- meeting of the type _founafew was held on Tuesday evening , the 8 th inst , at tho _AmoVs Well , Barbican , Mjr Pee ) , Mr Humphries , and ; _'Jftr Barratt , sseretary , attended as a deputation froin the Central Committe . e , a _» _i-h the view of _explaining 4 ho objects ofthe _ansociation . The chairman on risiva _> _said _. ' that _f _£ e com . _anittce of their Trades' Society b _* _A called that meeting on a rcqui & itioaa cagaicd _bymtauy , _saf aheia * _meaabers , for the purpose of hearing the _vuinci-ples of tie United Trades _Association , and , as » _Jsp-atation from the Central Committee avere _preset , be should sot trespass upon their time , but call _ur » _- » the deputa _& M to set forth the obieoU of their body .
Mr _Pi-ii- on rising ' . tad be should \» t occupy tht attention of the _meeting i _ _, » ny _unnecessary leng | h nf time because he hoped lo bo nble to _convtaee . them of the importance of joining tho National Asioei _. itioti _, avhich he _awaad as as _estaWiaVwA _-upota _.- «(_ _£ _„„ . fnc ( wm _ . y , _ That the iuduJtriftvw classes do not _ic-iivo . ft fair day's wage for a fair _daj _* _. labour ; and , secondly , _Ibat forBome years past , their endeavoura to obtain vMb have , with few exceptions , been unsuccessful . Mr Peel _dlscanted upon this branch of our constitution , and showed that the facts were too powerfully borne out by tho low _priaos to whioh many of tho _IraJes were reducod , Mr P . went on to show the superiority ofthe National Association I _orer all local _unloag , not only in Its peouniary _retowwi ,
The Central Committee Met On Monday Morn...
but also in-the immense moral ¦ influence it brought to bear on behalf of their respective _combers , nhose rights tvnd privileges mi ghtihe Invaded .: Mr Peel said one of the great objects of the National Association was to effect a general organisation ofthe different trades in the kingdom , in one consolidated union , and by so doing , will entirely abolish that feeling of aristocracy and independence , which in too many instances characterised the more opulent trades in this country towards the less fhvouraWe and ill-paid bodies , who were reduced to tbe lowest possible point of want and _wreiehedness , and , instead of despiBang thiss « trades , they _wc-ald combine
_toelevate them to a point of independence aad proserity that would preclude thff desire of those ti / adea to _erelgrate info the district where good wages ntio paid , by that means gluting tbe labour market with a redundancy of hands ' , and placing tbe employers in such a posi tion as to reduce their workmen , whenever tbey thought fit ; and when there was a surplus ef tobeurerain themarket _, the men baef no _* p _» wer within _themselves to _rewit such _deduction , foobwate this , it was absolutely necsssary _Hhat . there _sbsuld _btranationalcombbiation ofthe trades , _fetfthe mutualiprotertion ofthe rigbts of industry ; and avatn tho low-priced trades were protested at home ,-the _bijg-B . pricetradWwouW notbe tortured with thof _.-ar' of an ihSux of han € h into their trade .
