'here appears to be an cud to the entente cordiale ** hkli * hkfA fur years _* e were used to hear so much . Ulead Head of the fudg e about the " friendship " " _inline rekc relations , " * id " cordial undemanding , " _be--e-en _tii-en the governments of France and England , to _isispirufiniruous in former speeches , we have merely an _iiiguiaiigmacant paragraph , setting forth the co-operation i the tthe two _coTCrnments in endeavouring to effect a ttlem'tlement < _tf the affairs of the River Plate . The
jjut _' _- _^ ni ' _-ensier marriage has blown up the entente tt & ialitihi _' . Since , the delivery of the speech , some _i _e-an _-e-and-twenty documents in relation to the _mariige qige question have been presented to the Chambers _, j ) iar j far as a glance at tUetn enables us to judge , it apeears , ears , that , first , Guizot contrived to humbug Alier->> en ? en en the oceasiou of the snug Utile meeting at ¦ _ilu ; iu ; liiat , second , Palmerston got up , or became a ¦ jxt yarty to , a dirty intrigue on the part of the Euglish _DDvenveramen- _* , to saddle one oftlie Coburg vermin upon tbe be Spaniards in the sha ; -e of a husband for the ps . nps . nijh Queen ; that , third , Guizot _seized i _* 'k » i thi . * intrintrigtiing of Palmerston as a pretest for throwing
i iver ' iverbt _< ard the " cordial understanding" come to with _ilbeiberdeen , and lost no time , nor scrupled at anj meaoeans , in pushing the claims of Montpensier ; that . _ibuiburth , Palmerston and the Coburg were outwitted , i mdtnd the " artful dodger ' s" young hopeful carried ofl _Iti-e & e pttze -, that , fifth , Palmerston , wheu he found h _Ihachad Inst the game , lost his temper , and , in th ' 1 wowordy conflict with his wily antagonists which foilovlowc < fthe marriage , exhibited himself to but littit _odadvantage ; and that , lastly , the correspondence _cocommnnicated to the French Chambers exhibits the ii _i-iaveiy of the French , and the imbecility of the Ei Eoc ' iisii Government .
bit-is Philippe has the unblushing assurance to ii -speak of the confiscation nf Cracow as " an une . vp pecteel event , " _whicb . he follows up by the intiinat tion tl a : lie has " protested against that infraction _i ofthe treaties . " He says this much , because h _, _; must say something on the subject . Some nine i _diplomatic documents on this question have been supplied io the Chambers , There will belong winded discusii-ns , and perhaps the usual barren paragraph in favour of Poland , introduced into the " address , " bst _tlis will he all .
Ami what else can be expected from such a body as tlie Chamber of Deputies—we say nothing of ibat niocktry oi a house of legislature , the Peers-Louis Philippe ' s lacqueys ? The Chamber of Deputies is composed of four hundred and _fifiy- ' . iue mem * hers , ccntaius , 60 lawyers or notaries , 7 physicians , 44 officers of the army , _either on hah pay orin active service , 2 officers of ihe navy in active service , 82 mag istrates , 52 administrators , 13 civil engineers , li mereliaius or bankers , 8 _taauufae urers , 8 ironmasters , 9 ministers , 15 members of the institute , 5
_diplomats , ana 6 literary men , 3 of whom are elite editois of daily newspapers . The remaining 110 Depwies are mostly landed _propiietois . i'liese tc-, be it remembered , are elected hy a constituency o two hundred thousand electors , the citizen c ' . _a- _*** of a Ballon of 35 millions . As long a * , ihis system huts , there _<• - - uo hope- for Poland mi far as _Frer-cb sympathy is concerned . But tin ' s _system will not Iasi for ever , uor _-vs 111 Louis Philippe ami Guizot always rule the roast . - ' Every dog has bis day , " and these momrrels wiil have theirs , hut another day i >
e « mn ; j . The disturbances in the French provinces are Oi tbe increase ; several serious collisions have taken place between the starving people aud the au : h <; - _riiies , and a _numberof tbe disaffected have heen arrested . If" coming events " may be predicted from tin shadows at present overhanging Spain , then a renewal of the sanguina-y scenes of former yea s may be anticipated . The _Carh ' _sts appear to he _makiti-r great preparations for a _re-ceiminenceraent of tht
struggle , iu _whL-h they were be / ore worsted . It h asserltd , that the rising of the _Cathsts will be iu > - meuialely followed by a general _onibieak ot _iLi Radicals , against ihe party in power . Weauuouncci ; last week the arrest of Senor Olozaga . who still remains in custody . His aged father expired ot . learning the arrest of his sob . What will they di wiih _i-lozaja ? Will they charge him nith Irish _ttcasoi , put him to a mock-triai , and murder biro , as they bave done with so many t ther victim- , ? The royal tigress , Christina , is _cjitite capabii of such an atrocity , and it is well known that she
his commanded the present outrage . _tn-nierlaad is a _^ ain the theatre of _disturbance . * - Tiie latest acvou . _its represent that the i resurrect io . of tht Frilnurg ta iicais _iia-1 failed Before _reacii _ini * the city they were fired upon by the Govern ment troops , aad c impel ! . _"d to _titli bs _** k on _Moral with the loss " 1 _S'itisj kihed , AOiuukd , and primer * .

The _in-ist _awfui distress prevails in Flander * an-i Ge .-m . iny . In Flanders the scent's taking- place _it-Ireland lind their _counterpart .

The Kin .- of Sweden has sent a '" protest" t _> _- > ienna , _against ihe confiscation of Crac _** w , which is said to ha e excited a great sensation in _diuloniatic _circles , l'he day that sees the _fiist b : « _s- _mckag-tim-t the absolute tyrants will _liea-ire-ai <• _¦ _*} lor Sweden ; she has a 1 -ne _» eries of wrongs _arui _tu _tnilisttions to revenge ai . d efiace , and her son * Pant ttr tbe struggle .

The report occupies more than a page of the morning journals , so that we cannot pretend to glance in these cursory _obiervations on the various topics introduced . It a sufficient to say thai , at the close of his address , his Lordship , in reply to questi . ms , avowed himself to he _oppesed to Universal Suffrage ; the Tea Hours' Bill , tho immediate repeal of t ) . e Corn Laws , interference with the Anglo Irish Church , the removal of the Ratv-paying clauses in the _retorm act , the Ballot , and Electoral Districts . On the question of national education he was elaborately guarded , and to the query whether persons or property should be represented in Parliament , he thought it very _desirab'e _botft should be represented , but did not not think there was at present an undue preponderance of property .
This will be quite _sufK-itnt to enable onr readers to judge of the qualifications and claims of the _opponent of John _Brijiht ; we don ' t see a pin to choose tetwixt tbem so far as the questions _aff-eting _» he labourers are conctrucd . Each of _tUetu live by tU « system which crushes _industry to the bottom of th * scale , and exalts upon it the idler or the usurer . To the thousands of unenfranchised .-nd toiling labourers , operatives and artisans in Manchester , it matters very little whether a conseiTative Aristocrat or a liberal Millocrat shall have the p < _-wer of misrepresenting and plundering them through the medium of _urejuT-tand oppressive institutions .
We have unhappily still to record an upward tendency in prices . Bread , Tegetabks , butchers' meat , malt , beer , spirits , everything is on the rise , bnt one , and that is the price of labour . With augmented n ' _emaiids _thepowerof meeting them either rem ; ins stationary or diminishes . Trade languishes , the _prspects for the future bold * gloomy . The session for 1847 will find work _enough cut out for it
_assesibled in the square of St . I _' ctronio , and with the s ' u _' cnts at _ihi-ir head , followed hy the _political offenders included in the amnesty , of whom M . _Galetti was the leader , marched in procession to the Palazzo Publico , and _ttopping under tha grand balcony , exclaimed repeatedly , " Long live Pius IX . !—LoDg live Cardinn ! Amat!—Italian _independence for ever ! " But everything passed off without the _lcas-i disorder . In the evening there wa- * a general
_iilummat-c . ii . On Wednesday , the Cambria arrived at Liverpool from the United States . Taylor and Santa Anna hate not yet met . The Mexican Commander had sent out a _detachment ol 2 . 000 m . n to destroy thc water-tanks between _Saltillo ami San Luis Potosi Consress had been occupied chiefly with the _discussion of the Preside ! t ' s _Message _>< ith regard to the Mexican war . The _debates were extremely sharp .
The duty recommended np « n tea and coffee would not be imposed it was WHovrd . From Philadelphia we learn * hat Mr . Baker , ot _Illim-ie , jut returned from , the < mm / , had delivered a speech in the House nf Representatives , by which the _grcate-stexcitement iiad been produced . He represented " the utter incompetency of a handful of men to conquer _Mexic —that an overwhelming force wa * necessary—that the _Mexicans were more united than ever , women even joining _thi-m to repel the invasion . "
From fhe contemplation of this war so disgraceful to the United States , and so _injuri-vus to the _cauBt -f liberty , we torn to the struggle in the Caucasus _, where again the slaves of Russia have been made to feel the vengeance of the heroic Circassians , fighting for their homes and freedom . So perish th- minions _i . f tyranny in every conflict , so triumph the _cham-(¦ iocs of right in every _struggls .

TO THE WORKING CLASSES . My Friexds , —The onlv object I had in _prodttcing " The Labourer" was to _| serve your cause-, I fully _agree with every word of reproach heaped upon its appearance by tlie reviewer , while I am pleased at receiving the highest encomiums on its contents . Indeed , I will _lioastingly assert , that the first number of " The Labourer" contains more matter , _iervictalile to the cause it professes to serve , ban ai ! tbe magazines put togetiier that have _yvt _ttia-if their appearance . I know that 6 d . a month : * _» iamc * lax upon tlie _badlv-tiaid operative ; and I
l-o _ki . o'v , tha ; when he pays such a 6 um fof hteraturft , it should be in a form of which he might be vain . I was tbe first to denounce the slovenly appearance of tbe first number , and , _however tbe REVIEWER may praise the printer ' s share of ihe work , I tell you tbat the _unsightly appearance was his , and only his fault , as to bim was left tbe sole management . However , it is fortunate that the fault can be remedied , which I _propose to do tons . I am aware fiat a book is no like a _newspaper , and tbat the poor _tnan who purchases a book in numbers , will take a pride in " tsu ' _tig them pr served and hound in volumes . T _<» affotd all such au opportunity , then , this is my ' _eUeutiou * I will give to all tho . e who purchased the
first UGLY luiitiher , a handsome first number _instead . Ml future numbers shall defy reproof . ' The Labourer" is wot thy of a good appearance , a nd shall hare it . I suppose thai about six numbers will lie hound up _together , and therefore all who have purchased tbe first will receive a uniform copy o _< that number , with number six , GRATIS , and as I aho intend that portraits of Labour ' s friends should adorn each _volunc . 1 shall give a splendid portrait off . S . Duncombe , Esq ., wiih the first ; that will be given with the s : xth number , * and with each subsequent six numbers j wiil give a portrait , to be bound with the volume . Thus I rectify the first blunder . Your faithful friend , Feargus _O'Conxor .

Nottingham . Nsv . 28 th , 1816 , SiB . —Yon will no doubt think me unworthy to fill thepost of _Sei-retary to the " Master Basket Makers "Onion , " —for I _ri-gre-t to _aay , I have not had your name in our book , through losing of your letter dated Cth October , wliich 1 then duly answered , but hare nut leceiveei from you further communication . 1 _ou-i , ht to have had _j-our name entered in the book , but-our letter was lo » t , ami thi * day found after nearly eight weeks missing . The odject of our Union you are fully aware from the con ten te of ihe enclosed circular , of which I sent jou a copy about tbe 10 th ultimo . *
11 you fully coincide with us , Itt me hear from you ;—and , though our work is well nigh done , the Journeymen ' s Society being well uigh done too : we shall be glad of _LaricasYTiru aid , not so much for money , for that we do not ask so much as that , juu either strike or cause some men in your neighbourhood tn fall on the funds of the Journeymen ' s Society . 1 said / _-mris , though it is thought they arc insolvent , and that there arc no funds connected with iheir union . If we win the battle , and we have as nearly won as this , —that we cannot find tbe enemy to beat him - . —I say if we ultimately triumph ( as we shall ) let us not da it without Lieucushirv aid , Dublin has turned offit-Jsixty men on tbe ' Hit kit ., and nota society mun works in that city .
Nearly two hundred Society men ( if they have a _soaiely ) are unemployed ; so you will perceive Wehave done something without Lancashire , for _Lancashire has not struck nor sent money to aid our friends at Wolverhampton . We can win without you , that is certain ; hut , a _splimdid triumph certain arm * lasting , which shall effectually _suttle the question , cannot be achieved without your aid . I shall be glad to hear of your convening meetings in Lancashire , and doing what yo « canto help us in the strike . lam , 4 c , yours truly , W . H . Waits . 9 , Angel Row , Nottingham . P . S . —Our _deputation did , ( no doubt ) all they could to effect a strike ,. —now if you in the locality can do what we strangers cannot , you will confer an obligation on the trade .
« The following extracts Irom the circular referred to , will be sufficient to explain the designs of the Master ' s Union . At a meeting of Master Basket Maker ' s fr » m various parts of the country , held at Birmingham on Monday tbe 5 th of October . 1846 , tbe full _' _iwing resolutions were unanimously adopted : — Kesolvkd . —That the masters supporting this resolution , do engage to employ no journeyman connected with the Journeymen ' s Society , after the 17 th day of October instant , _Besolvid That the said Master ' s _offe-r the rate of wages ( to the workman ) given about the year 1830 .
_Kesolvisd . —Tha * tbe Members of this Union do pay after th' ) rate of sixpence for himself ai _. d for each and every o' the m « n in his employ , for _ceinti-igeat _wpenjea as often as the Committee shall levy , to the Secretary ol the branch or district ; who shall remit the same to the General Treasurer . Besoi . ven . —That the United Society of Journeymen Basket _Makers , resorted at to an e * peeliiut at once dishonourable and unju « t in the case , of the late strike at Wolverhampton ; at tbat town a _demand was made tor a considerable advance in th » rate ot * wages , this the Masters '? refused to give . To _tffect their purpose , the Journeymen ' s society supplied , and are now supplying with moterinl , a shop _designated a " Beehive . "
To overthrow these designs , this meeting do recom . mend that the committeo do render such pecuniary assistance to the employers of Woherhauipton as shall enable thera to _uuder-ell the Journejmen ' s shop ; auei as it is hoped , will effectually and for ever prevent the recurrence of such dastar ly mean attempts . Chairman , _Itewtut _IUins _, Market p lace , Leicester . Secretary , W . il . Watts , 9 , Angel Row , Nottingham . N . B . —The Union numbers _coBStlcrably mors than 100 employers _.
* # * All orders to be made payable to thc Treasurer aud forwarded to the Secrttary _, to whom all communications must be _addressed . The smallest subscriptions will be thankfully received and promptly acknowledged . _CaatsroPHEa WajiPAM ,, _Gerieral Secretary , at Mr . Clark's 84 , _Bridge-ttreet , _MaiicheHur . HrN « v Cla » k , General Treasurer , 34 , Bridge-street Manchester . If _anything were wanted to convinoe the trades of _Englaud of ihe _superiorit- of _isntional Association over even National Individual Trades Union , they might take tlie caso ofthe JJa-. lf .-t Maker * , who have a _well-organirad association , with branches iB _cvety large town in the three _kin-id-mis , aud yet their
union is ali but _destrojed by ihe counter union ot tlieir employers , with iheir superior monetary power , which enabled them to undersell the workmen in Wolvcrhampt' _-n , and so defeat what they please to torn a mean and dastardly attempt" On the part of workmen to better _tlieir _condttH-u by _self-eniploytueut . Tlie monetary power of the employers must therefore be met by the superior monetary power of n . itioiial _organization , and thc superior facilities such a body possesses for the dis ; osal oi ' gooda wlitn manufactured . The committee much regret the Basket Makers have not previously joined tho _Natio-.-al _Ar-suciation _, for they and thc well-orgariiieii _crt ' _iii'S of Britain , may rest ajsnrcd that nothing can _withstand the money power ol the cmp _!** ying classes but _uauunal combination anjoi ) _-.

So far , however , as am _enableel to judge-, the National Association of United Trades is an itmitution intended for , and well calculated to effect the protection o' industry , by euaMing those of the working classes who _bfcotnc its members , to assist tUenm ' _ves twid each «) t " wr _tontcure an equitable compensation for their labour , i * whatever part of the eountr ) they reside , or whatever » By he their trade or employment , ant ! on terms _proportionate to their respective incomes . The ireneval butiness of the _Association is conducted in London , wkereits office is situated ; mid nhrre the principal officers , who are called the Central
Coinmittee , meet and confer ; thoy hear < w _cxaminv all » v . _iiemtnts from anj p . ' . rt of the country , and promote further inquiry on any subject in which it may ! _- * _requisite—and after due deliberation , they determine _ne-eotding to thebeBt of thfir judgment . They also have power to appoint agents to go from on * part of the couniTy to ' _as'ithM , to explain the ohjecis of the Association where required , or to urge the elaims on any class of working men , or to mediate in eases of disputes , etc ,, etc . The Committee consists of thirteen per Ml—viz ., a _Piesident and Vice President , and six members all resveling in London , who transact all business requiring personal attention , and five committee men residing in _differ-nt parts of tli . country , who t » _. l and _awist by _corrrsponuente . The ivritiDg and account * , ic _., are performed by thr _Ge-iirral Secretary , who also reside in London , and holds office s
long as he gives satisfaction . He is n quired to give se . rurity to a giren amouut , as a guarantee for tbe safety of the money passing through his _han-J * . The Association ' s funds arc deposited in a bank , and no money can be withdrawn hut by a cheque signed by the Pre > ident ant ! Tice President . The _working people of every part of _Gn-ni Britain , whether men , women , _orchildre-n _, are all eligible to _becoms members j thi * is done by th « work ptople of each branch of business residing in the same locality , forming themselves into a _'radet _sneivty or union , which they may conduct uoder any legal form of government they please , as th Association does not interfere iu the _privite concc ; _ns of _trades society , but merely witk what relates to their connexion with tbe Association . Tn several trades , or other branches of business in a town _, city , borough , form a district branch of the National _Association . District Committees are appointed for t-.
general conslleration of business relating to the sever-.-. ! trades or occupations , in tbe said town , city , _borough aud a district secretary is appointed who _correjpend . * with the geui-ral secretary on all matters requisite . Av _annual Conference Is held in such largo towns as may be previously appointed , which Conference consists of i _' _olegates elected by each trade in proportion to its numb , _i of members . Printed papers are seat to each districi one month previous to conference meeting , containinj ; statements of the business intended to be brought before the consideration of such conference . The sentiment !* of the trades are communicated to tbe respective dele _gntts . wVio there ' s ; are tnaWed to represent their district *! more effectually . Thepower of making or altering il > _- rules of the nssneiathm is exclusively vested in the Conference , ns Is also the elpction of the Central _Commiiii " and the general _sscretary .
A balance sheet is published quarterly , in which tnrli trade is name ' , and the sums _subscribed and owiiii : by eaeh i 9 mentioned _ugetber with the expenditure in _detailed items . AH the important and interesting proceedings r . f _-i . e Association are published is tbe columns of the Northern Star , The expenses for managing tbe As « ooiaton are _defrayi-. _; by contributions from each member of onr . _halfpt ni _. y r month , and the present number of its registered me » 'i > is I understand exceeds seventy thousand .

Hvpuovt , _awi , _y-Tevtt-. u * to a strike , the particular circumstances under which tho strike is required , must be correctly reported to the Central Committee , who will decide according to thc merits of the case , if they sanetion the proposed strike , the members arc , of course , supported to the amount before mintioned , but , should they not _dc-em a strike commendable under existing ciraum stances , they advise accordingly , and _Rhould the trade strike contrary to _sueh advice tbey are not allowed any support from the funds of the Association .
I hope the _slatrments I have already made , will be found sufficient fur the _intended purpose of giving all who have heard thero , a tolerably correct idea of the outline , form , and construction of the institution , fo-• _tether with its mode ol operations ; and intended objects , and purposes . Hivhat I have said b # sufficient for this purpose , I consider it would be useless t « « utev into a minute detail of particulars on sny peculiar points , which can only It _interesting to those who are Iniatinfeid as members i''' _- ' thc Association , which none oi us , at present , are , ' ' - _' pre < cnt position is that of enquirers _nfttr truth on Id's particularly interesting _nuhjwf , aud se far as thc inquiries have . 'one , I , for one , feel perfectly satisfied with the expediency and _effiriency of the- Association , and , ns a working man , I heartily eongra ' _ulat * all who are present , and i will add , the whole of the working people , in Britain , in the formation of an institution so _befitting and well adapted to their present and inteuded future condition and circumstances .
Even person must admit that , in the relative position of master and servant , it is a m-st important matter to arrive at a proper adjustment of the intrinsic , value of labour . Tbe _disadvantage that arise from the frequent _disputes on this subject , are numerous and very injurious to both parties . Hitherto there has been no in . stitution that lm made thu aeijustmont of wages , a primary _suhje-cl of _considevatiim nith a view to gire an equitable _.-imoun ! of labour to the _roastor , for an equitable amount of compensation n » the serrant , orinolh _^ r words to decide to ihe satisfaction of reasonable men ol each party what was a fair day ' s wages and a fair day ' s work .
This the association will _eadeavour to effect , not on tha principle manifested by tbe _pentlemen of the law , sach pulling tor his client , but with a view to discover the truth , and to award justice accordingly , so that both parties may perceive the correctness of their decision in all Impbrtaat matters of dispute in whieh the associations interference may bo required , and seeing their impartial adjudication be _pcrfee'ly satisfied , Tho power vested lit tke central couvmltUe to examine and determine on all cases where strikes are proposed , is an exceedingl y judiciousarrangement , it will operate as a corrective against the _influemv » f ' _voye-tuosity _a-ming from local _circumstaaces , which occasionally may be viewed iu magnitude by those _iuimrdiately concrrned ; it will also check tha precipitancy of raih _inconsiderate or imprudent advisers _, or of self-interested aud designing persons , and such effects being notices' aud apprrciatuil , will produce _feolings of respect and _confidence even in tha minds of cmp ' oyer 3 , who , in cases of an _opposita decision , will in many instances acquiesce from respect to their
_jadgment . By this means , together with the efforts ef intelligent agents acting as mediators , there is good grounds of hope that , after thc association has boen a little time in existence and its equitable , conciliating and relieving character , becomes generally known , thi eruption ! produced by strikes , either between masters and servants , or be . twean servants themselves of opposite opinions , will rarely , if ever occur , a * strikes will _seUora be resorted to , except in vases where they arn obviously requisite , in which rases , masters of reasonable charaeUr will defend tbem , whose innumri * _ivill tend greatly to reconcile their opponents , and a similar degree of _reaonniliation may ba expected by ths influent * of tbe _asntral committee and mediating agents , wben diffcrcncei arise be-
