Mr .
Gibbs couvplaiued that thc City police must cither have been perfectly _ai-quainted with thc stratagem laid for the plunder _sf the house , or most grossly negligent ofthe ordinary police duty . The house had , he said , been robbed amidst the whole business of the police . Inspector _Hainiltos , a very active and intelligent officer , stated that thc premises had becu quietly entered by means , as far as he could ascertain , of a skeleton key . The lock of the door was merely a common spring lock , and was capable of being opened * with any key . Mr . Gibbs said the lock was one of the very best description . It was , in fact , of aucll a "kind , that -upon one occasion when the key was lost it was necessary io employ a smith to Wrench Off the lock . Tie Lord Mayor said he should make particular inquiry into the case .

The other two -were _5 ned 20 s . each , or fourteen days . The whole of the parries _ftanhedhis lordship , cmd , went _fancing from the oar .
_AVedsesDAT . —Bigamv . — A respectably-attircdfemalc , who gave her name as Mary Keele , and stated her age to be 39 years , hat whose appearance denoted that she had aeen twenty Bummers more , was placed at the bar before the Lord Mayor , charged with bigamy . The facts of the case are somewhat novel and curious , the charge being preferred by the mother of the husband by thc second -marriage , a young man who only attained his majority in thc month of August last . —Mrs . Sarah Keeie , the prosecutrix , stated that she was the wife of George Seele , who was not in any business , and that the resided at St . Stephen's , near Canterbury . The prisoner at the bar had contracted marriage with her ( the witseis's ) son some time about last Michaelmas . Witness had known the -prisoner for about a fortnight
before tJ-. e marriage took place . The prisoner ' s husband by the first marriage was a man of thc name of John Weller , who went to Australia about three years ago , an-1 there , as the prisoner had stated , died . Weller has a sister living at Canterbury , who had informed the witness that her brother ( the husband } was still living , and in perfect health , in Australia , aud that a letter had recently beeu receiv ed which could be proved to be in his handwriting . On learning this , the witness came up to town and gave theprisoner into custody about an hour and a half ago , as she was getting out of a Hackney omnibus , in Bishopsgatc-street . —William Gnrney Keele , who appeared to give his testimony with great reluctance , stated that lie lived in Back-lane , Hackney , and was iu
the service of Messrs . Marnatt and Manley , nurserymen . He was married to the prisoner some time in the month of October last ( he could not remember the day ) , at St . George ' s , Hanover-square , which was the church in which the first marriage was solemnized . He had become acquainted with the prisoner from going to her house on business of his employers at Canterbury . Witness believed her to be a widow—indeed he had heard about three or four months ago that her first husband was dead . He heard this from the prisoner , who told him that some person had called upon her and told her that her husband was dead , and that information had been _corrohoi-ated to her by a gentleman who had stated that he had seen "the last of her husband" in Australia . This the prisoner told witness before the marriage ,
or he would not have proposed to her a marriage . He had engaged to marry her about a fortnight before ihe marriage actually took place . —The prisoner stated that when she married the young man Keele , see fidly believed that her first husband Weller , was dead ; and her belief had been founded npon the information of a female four years ago , and also of a seafaring man , who had called upon her about the same time , and stated he did so at the dying request of her husband , of whom he had seen the last in Australia . She did not know the name of either of those parties , nor could she pro-luce them ; the last told her he was going back immediately on a voyage to Australia , and she has never seen him since . —Thc Lord Mayor intimated that the _prisoner must be remanded , in order to produce the
attendance ofthe witness from Canterbury ; and he inquired of the prisoner if she has friends in London who would pe answerable for her appearance . — The prisoner replied that she had been out of London for many years , and she had been so unexpectedly taken into custody that she had not an opportunity of communicating with any person . She had , however , friends to whom she could send . —The husband ( Keele ) hereupon came forward and expressed his readiness to he answer able for his wife ' s appearance on any future day the Lord Mayor might appoint . —The Lord Mayor ( addressing thc young man ) said : Well , as you are the aggrieved party , I will take your recognizance in £ 50 that the prisoner shall appear here this day week to answer any charge that may he then preferred against her . —The parties then withdrew .
_Thbeateking Letter . —Smops Kent , charged with sending a threatening letter to Messrs . Prestcott , Grote , and Co ., was brought up for re-examination .

Letham , Blyth , and Lett-am , of Friday-street , _-rnnslin--cnanufectarcrs . Mr . Matthew Letham , of thc house of Letham aud Co ., stated that on the morning of _Wcdufc-day last , two pieces of goods ( trimmings ) were
-stolen from the warehouse . He could swear to some of the goods positively by the private marks of the house . They were Scotch goods , and many firms had the same ; torts of goods . —Mr . W . Bcinar , of Tottcnham-courtruad , _srated that his partner purchased some trimmings from the prisoner Kirby , and witness paid £ 8 4 s . or £ 8 6 s . for them , and three or four dresses , abont ten or elc-. _t-n days , or perhaps only a week ago . ( Here -a parcel of goods was produced which the _wit--ness identified as those he had purchased ) . —James _k elson , a person hi the employment of Mr . Evans , -oi 111 ) andl § ° , Tottenham-court-road , stated that a second parcel of goods , which was produced , had been brought by theprisoner Kirby to his employer about a week ago , and that Mr . Evans paid £ 4 7 s . 9 d . for them . The bill of
parcels was here eshibited— -it enumerated the particulars of the purchase with the usual regularity . —Inspector Waller stated that , in consequence of information which ho had received that a robbery had been _ayajhittcd on Wednesday week in the warehouse of Messrsj _^ tham and Co ., and that the goods stolen had been offered ror sale , he went to Mr . Evans's house to look at the property . Mr . Letham identified the property , and Mr . Evans stated that _iKirby , who resided at Islington-green , at a coffee-shop , _%$ told them . At Islington-green , Kirby , upon being ' -questioned , with the due caution to mind what he ¦ old , as he . was . to consider himself in custod y , _jtsted that he could clear up his part of the trans _action _, "by _p-coving . from whom he had got the goods . _Ifrbj tfa » _Mcompnuied him ( Inspector Waller ) to Stanhope-street , . Clare-market , where , after having
Waited -A Considerable Time, He Saw The ...
waited -a considerable time , he saw the prisoner Arm-Strong go up to the door of a house . Kirby then approached Armstrong , and said to him , " Why , I am come after these goods—tills is a pretty thing . " Witness then asked Armstrong , having told him previously that he was not bound to answer , where he got the property . Armstrong said he could not directly tell , and witness conveyed him to the station-house . Witness afterwards searched Armstrong ' s lodgings , but found there but one small piece of goods , which he said Jie left with his wife , to cut up for caps for the children . —Mr . Ewiu , who stated that he was in thc employment of Messrs . Letham and Co ., said he had packed some parcels on the day preceding the robbery , and taken them round in his chaise , and afterwards deposited them in thc warehouse , and that on going next day to the warehouse he found that thoy tad becu stolen . The prisoners were remanded .
Ibisb Amusements . —A very wild-looking Irishman , named Ned nowe , was brought before the Lord Mayor , upon the charge of having assaulted Margaret Macnamara , a countrywoman of his own , after having been bound over , a short time ago , to keep the peace towards her . The assault was committed under rather odd circumstanccs . The statement of Mrs . Macnamara was to the effect tlutt she had , about three months ago , been involved in a row with defendant in Angel-alley , and that _ths Lord Mayor thought so badly of his conduct upon that occasion , that his lordship thought proper to bind hhn over in a serious penalty to keep the peace for six months . Notwithstanding , however , so solemn an engagement , he bounced out of his window in Cock-court , Angel-alley , in his shirt , on Wednesday morning early , and pitched his knuckles into her ribs with such violence that she wondered the life did not leave her along with her breath . —The Lord Mayor : Uo you mean that he literallvgot out of his window without his clothes to attack
you I—Complainant : Yes , your lordship . AU he had ou in the world was his shirt , and 1 was in front of tiie court getting a kettle of water . —The Lord Mayor : Well , defendant , what have you to say ? You are accused of breaking your bond to keep the peace . —The Defendant : O , thin , my lord , who could stand it ? Why , do you know whatshccalledmc ? By the vartue of my oath , she called mea— . —Complainant : Well , my lord , what do you think he called me ? By thc vartue of my oath he called me a , aud a ' nt that as bad ? ( Great laughter . ) Why should I be tumbled over head and heels , and a kittle of water in my hands , for ealUng him what liis mother knew very well he was ? ( Laughter . )—Tho Defendant : The devil a bit I hurt her , for I didn't give her a single clout on earth . —The Lord Mayor : She swears that you did , and it is quite intolerable , after a magistrate has taken your own recognisances to keep the peace , that you should so grossly break it . Now , I must put a stop to this sort of proceeding . I shaU send the case to the sessions to bo disposed of . —The prisoner was accordingly committed .
GUILDHALL . Satdedat . —A Monstee in _Huxak Shape . —A coal porter , named Heuden Walker , residing at 19 , Fryer ' sstreet , Blackfriar's-road , was placed at the felon ' s bar , and charged with having brutally assaulted a pretty-looking young woman of thc name of Elizabeth Smith , a servant at a coffee-shop in Bride-lane . The complainant said that she was thc proprietress of a coffee-stall at the foot of Blacltfriar's-road , and that between two and three o'clock that morning the prisoner came up and asked for half a pint of coffee , which she supplied to him . He then indulged in most filthy language , and unfastening Ids clothes made several efforts to take iudecent liberties with her . She successfully resisted him , and the prisoner being enraged at this , struck her violently to the ground . —A gentleman who was passing by when this occurred called for a policeman , and gave the prisoner into custody . At tlic conclusion of the
complainant's statement the prisoner , with a dreadful oath , declared it was all a lie—Alderman Musgrove asked her if the marks on her face were caused by the prisoner ' s blow . —The complainant : They arc , sir . —Prisoner : If s a tic ; she would swear anything . —Alderman Musgrove : And you mean to swear that he unbuttoned his clothes ?—Complainant : I do . —Frisoucr : Now that is a lie , for I have not a button about me—I uses strings ( laughter ) . — The Alderman : Is the gentleman present who saw thc assault ?—Complainant : No , he is not . —Thc Alderman said a moregross assault had never come before him . He would hear anything the prisoner had to say . —The prisoner denied in toto all thc complainant had stated . —Alderman Musgrove : I think there is scarcely a person in court who disbelieves a word spoken by the yonng woman . If anything would conv ince mc of the truth of her statement , itis your conduct to-day . I shaU commit you to BridewcU for three months . —Committed accordingly .
BOW STREET . _Fanuv . —Tiie Leicester Bank _Eobbebv . —Hit-hard Elliot , who stands charged on suspicion with being concerned in stealing thc sum of £ 1 , 07116 s . lOd ., during the transfer by railway to London , the property of Messrs .

which the parties to whom it belonged declined to come forward and give evidence upon . —Mr . Robinson submitted whether his client ought to be committed for trial on such evidence . There had been a number of notes found by an old woman near the Euston-squarc station , and because two corresponding notes of a robbery , which took place twelve months back , were found in the prisoner ' s possession , which he might have received in the course of Ms trade as a tobacconist , he was to be prosecuted , although the numbers of tho notes were not known even at the Leicester Bank . —Mr .

About eighteen months ago her husband deserted her , and she had been since then struggUng under the greatest difficulties , and herself and seven children would have starved if it were not that the parochial authorities
of St . Andrew's , Holborn , had kindly given them some out-door relief . During these hardships thc prisoner was continually pilfering her ; he stole everything , even the clothes from her bed , and the garments belonging to his helpless little sisters . Last week he stole tlic only quilt she had , and sold it for a trifle to a marine-storc-dealer in James-street , Bedford-row .

Worship-Street. Awful Mohtaliti In Ohe F...
WORSHIP-STREET . Awful _Mohtaliti in Ohe Family . — Rowland , the warrant officer , reported to the magistrate the result of inquiries he had been directed to make re lative to an appalling case of bereavement and distress whicli had taken place in the famUy of a poor weaver named Ney , living in Ridge-fields , Twig-folly , near Old Ford—a man of most industrious habits aud excellent character , with a wife and eight children , all of whom lived with him at home and were in perfect health , until about three weeks since , when they were attacked by a malignant fever , whose ravages swept no less than six of the children to the grave . The man was actuated by such feelings of honest pride and independence that he had steadily refused to accept any assistance from the parish to defray the medical and funeral expenses of his unfortunate fa-only , and his slender finances had been so thoroughly drained by his sudden misfortune that he was now reduced to a state
of extreme want and wretchedness . The disease of which the poor children died was scarlet fever terminating in dropsy ; four of thc family were already buried , and in addition to the other children , who were now lying in the house dead in their coffins , another child , making the seventh victim to the disease , was in such a state as to preclude the hope of its recovery . In consequence of their incessant attendance upon their children , the father and mother had been wholly unable to pursue their usual occupation , and were therefore reduced to the greatest distress ; and from the hopeless condition of the other cliild , and thc mental and physical debility of the parents , there did not appear much likelihood of their being ablo to resume work for _* some time to come . Mr . Broughton directed the officer not to lose sight of the unfortunate family , but to render them what further assistance ho might consider urgently requisite .

The child was produced iu court , and her appearance sufficiently proved the inhuman , as well as unnatural , treatment to which she had been subjected by her parent . The prisoner , as on a former occasion , pleaded extreme poverty as the cause of his not keeping his child as he should . He whs committed to take his trial at the ensuing : Surrey sessions _,, but admitted to bail .
Fbidat . —Chaboe of Mubdeb . —A few minutes before five o ' clock , and when Mr . Norton was about to leave the bench , Thomas ,, Jones , a middle-aged man , a jobbing carpenter , was brought before hini in custody of Mr . Brooke , beadle and assistant-relieving officer of St . Mary ' s , Newington , and two eoustables of thc P division of police .

bereavement the lady took to her bed , and has continued from that period to the present in a very delicate state of health . On thc day of her husband's funeral she entreated the prisoner , who had been in the habit of doing needlework for her , and of whom she appears to have entertained , undeservedly , a very high opinion , to remain with her for a short time , and she did so in the capacity of companion and friend . On New-year ' s day prisoner , who Va & taken c-eua & vottto _pieka-quai'vel _witliUav , left the house ; and shortly aftorwards the lady discovered that she had been plundered of nearly everything of value she possessed . — Mr .

He next smashed to atoms a complete dinner , dessert , and
tea service in thc kitchen and pantry , and tlien made his way up stairs into the surgery and dining _, room , in both of which apartments , as also in the passage , he demolished with the poker the frame-work and glass In two or three of the windows , and a valuable lamp .

thc same time aiming a . blow at his head , which fortunately missed him , and by the force with which he ( prisoner ) struck , the door was shattered . Witness added that as soon as he wa 6 able he and his brother officer secured the prisoner in the passage . —Mr . Long ( to the prisoner ) : Have you anything to say for yourself?—Prisoner ( sullenly ) : Nothing . —Mr . Long observed that he could not deal with the prisoner for the damage , the amount thereof putting that part of the case entirely out of his jurisdiction .

Robert _Mayner , the captain ' s steward , deposed that on the previous night , about twelve o'clock , he got into the prisoner ' s cab at the Spread Eagle , Gracechurch-strcet , and was driven to the terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway , _Euston-square _, where he ¦ alighted , and soon afterwards missed a bundle containing a number of silver spoons , forks , ladles , 'fish slices , Sec ., aU of which he
was about to take down with him to Liverpool by thc first train in the morning , in order to deliver it to Captain CaUen , the owner thereof . Soon after daybreak he met the prisoner , and askod him if he knew anything respecting the bundle , to which he replied that he did not . He was then given in charge . The prisoner denied the robbery , and said that if any parcel had been left inside of the cab , which he did not beUeve to have been the case , it must have been taken away by some one during the time thathe was _abjssit , while endeavouring to get from the prosecutor his _prober fare . The prisoner ( as there was a considerable deal of doubt with regard to his guilt ) was given to . understand that he would not be committed to prison if he would procure good bail for his being forthcoming on Thursday next . >

Simpson attended , and begged to have the case adjourned , as his wife was not able to attend . He explained thc nature of the case , which was as follows : —His ' wife was crossing the Wal worth-road , a few days ago , when , the defendant , who was driving a horse and cart at a furious rate , knocked her down with the shafts , when one of tho wheels passed over her legs . She was conveyed home . Fortunately her legs werc not broken , but she was in a dangerous state for some time . She had , however , been confined with a " plumping boy , " who was marked from the effects of t he furious driving . Mr . James , solicitor for the defendant , asked how the child was marked ?—Mr . Simpgon : With a horse .
( Laughter . )—Mr . James : What part of the body was the cliild marked ?—Mi * . Simpson : On the mouth . ( Laughter . ) Yes ! aud he will carry the mark to the grave . — Mr . James said that his client had offer ed Mr . Simpson every support that his wife might require during her confinement , and to make any compensation that might be required . —Mr . Simpson refused to take any compensation from Mr . Hawell ; he had put the case into the hands of his friend , who would see him righted ; he , however , wished the magistrate to adjourn the case for a month , when his wife would probably be able to attend . Thc Magistrate said he was happy to hear that thc complainant ( Mrs . Simpson ) was uninjured , and as she would be able to attend on a future day he would adjourn the case for a week , when the extraordinary mark on the child could be exhibited . He must say he never heard of a child being marked with a horse before —( much laughter ) . —Mr . Simpson : It ' s quite true , your worship The distinct mark of a horse is ou the mouth . The case was accordingly . adjourned .

East Of Londo.V Shoemakers.—A Meeting Of...
East of Londo . v Shoemakers . —A meeting of the Boot and Shoemakers' Mutual Protection Society was held at the Standard of Liberty , Brick-lane , Spitalfields , on Sunday , the 19 th inst ., for the purpose of considering the best plans for emancipating the trade from low wages and the oppression of employers . Mi * . Waggett was voted to the chair ; and , after explaining the objects of thc meeting , called upon Mr . Drake to state thc views he thought best for the guidance ofthe Union . Mr . Drake said his object in coming forward was , to endeavour to do the utmost he could to relieve the sufferings of his fellowuicn . In thc first place , he would notice the _inutility of former proceedings , particularly the misconduct of
_othcers . He had known officers ot the trade get up strikes merely for the purpose of enjoying a fuddle ; and men had been forced upon tramp to undergo great _auffcriug , and leave their families without thc means of support , by such shameful conduct ! But all their former strikes had been useless , for , when tliey occurred , masters crippled the men by the resources they had at command . Thc Bradford strike had cost £ 400 ; yet the men had to submit , and put up with tyranny aa bad as before . In fact , they had been such sufferers by former strikes , and the misconduct of officers , that the men werc dead to action . His plan was , that they should establish a co-operative _depSt , under , thc management of a competent , experienced , honest man , who must give them good
security . This plan could be managed by a committee with as little trouble as their affairs now were , and it would cause men to conic forward in its support , because they would obtain some good in return for the money they subscribed . How well would such a paper as the Last be supported then ! They must have it to report their business , and they must buy it to see how their affairs and the cause went on . Suppose they had had a co-operative depot at Bradford when they struck , the men would have worked for tlio depot , called on thc public to support them , and in the excitement the goods would have sold faster than they could make them . This would have brought tears into thc eyes of masters , instead of their triumphing over thc men , and would have
hrmly established the trades' depot . Look at the way trade was now managed ; he ( Mr . D . ) got work made for lum , he must get a profit ; then he sold the goods to such a man as Mr . Hickson , who made a splendid living ; _then'the latter person sold them to the retailer , who also got a profit by tlieni ; thus there were three profits they might get for themselves by his plan . What great good they might do with this ; they might buy land with it , and provide for thc surplus workmen and the aged of their trade . How different to their present 6 tatc they had now to toil in poverty for others until they were aged or afflicted , and then be starved in the . Union Bastiie ! He considered it a means towards getting the Charter , lie had shown it to Mr . O'Connor , who said their ' s was the only trade that could do it . He would say then , work for themselves—get _propei'tv , get votes , and all
that was wanted would follow . —Mr . King said Mr . Drake had tallied about thc _dissipation of men producing strikes , but in his opinion it was a dissipated aristocracy who opened the floodgates of dissipation on all society . lie thought unions and strikes had done good . The Bradford strike was a noble affair , though the men were beaten . A depot had been tried before , and the manager run away to America with their funds . In the Trades' Union they got a deal of money , but they had the spy _IVatkins , and the rogue Robinson , who went to America with their money . How would Mr . Drake guard against these things ? He should like Mr . Drake to show how a manager could get security . He ( Mr . K . ) considered they must have a union of all trades , and a National Conference of delegates before they could better then * condition . Government feared Trades '
unions , because democrats had got among them . A National Conference of all thc Trades , supported by all who wore able to carry bayonets , must demand and obtain their rights of tho _legislature . They must not expect to be mueh better off until thev get the vote . There was some good in Mr . Drake _^ plan , who , because it would do away with thc profit-monger , came between the workman and the consumer . But they must have means to employ those who were thrown out of work by machinery . Men out of work became non-consumers . He believed there were 15 , 000 , 000 acres of uncultivated land in this country ; he wanted that land for those who could get no work at their trades , instead of them getting a bit of bread and cold water at the workhouse . Mr . Waggett said , if lie could see how Mr . Drake ' s plan could be put in practice , he would support it with heart and soul .
But from whom could the manager got security ? Suppose auch liberal men as Mr . O'Connor or Mr . Duncombe became security , the trade , as men , could not sue them if thc manager proved a defaulter . He thought they must first get political power . Let them form Trade Societies , have a National Conference , get power over the House of Commons—then Mr . Drake ' s plan might do . —Mr . Haverahead said , thc security might be obtained by the Trade lending the amount to Mr . O'Connor or Mr . Duncombe , ana that gentleman becoming security to the amount , and if the manager proved a defaulter , that gentleman would act as prosecutor . It was then moved and carried , that the discussion be adjourned to next Sunday evening at eight o ' clock , and tliat a report of the proceedings be sent to the Northern Star and the Last . Several members were enrolled .
Boot and Shoemakers' Trades Movement , Birmingham . —On Monday evening , Jan . 13 th , a most important meeting of " the organised Boot and Shoemakers of this town was held in the Democratic Chapel , Thorp-street , for the purpose of adopting measures to secure the national unity of the trade , and to deliberate on the causes which now operate so fearfully against their interests and welfare . At six o ' clock ( the hour announced for opening the proceedings ) the President took thc chair , and said that , aa the meeting was a special one , lie thought a chairman ought to be elected tor the occasion . After some conversation , the chairman ' s suggestions were concurred in , and Mr . Fleet was elected to the chair for the evcnuig . The roll being called , every member was
present except a few necessitated to finish some work before they could attend . The corresponding secretary then read letters from Bradford , Newark , and Kendal . A long debate ensued on the correspondence and the disorganised state of the National Union , in which Mr . Knight contended that the Executive had by their mismanagement done infinite injury to the society . — Mi * . Mason then rose and said Tie much regretted the task which had devolved upon him . It was not a time when opinions would have ordinary weight , and therefore he hoped that in expressing an opinion which had already been anticipated by thc shopmates , in some of the most important sections of the Union , he would not be understood to impute anything against thc honesty ofthe
Executive in their decision onthe Bradford strike . But while he made this qualification , lie would not reserve his opinions on the consequences wliich that decision had , and . would entail on their condition , individually and nationally . Thc Executive evidentl y did not comprehend the nature of thc proposition of the Bradford employers , or they would have . at once seen that the reduction proposed , when surrendered to bv them , would not be confined to Bradford . He had reflected seriously on the new circumstances ofthe Trade . Through the impolitic and most unjust operation ofthe Tariff , and considering thc disposition of too many employers to seize upon even * event wliich would form an excuse to reduce the already miserable remuneration for their skill and industrv , it was but reasonable to imagine that some town would take the lead in this work of oppression , and _whain s .. n .
_cessprlailure would be the signal for thc employment of every other town to determine their com 4 ° _^ i ? - - _^ _K l _^ _ty better , therefore ; till their last fraction had beon _contributed-as an evidence of our iron-resolve to resist any and ' every reduction on the principle of competition : TheSe however , had now come , when something more _Offi : cient than strikes werc necessary . Their _intlrrrt _* were now-attacked by influences which _TSlffSS the greatest combination of moral _poweTLd niu dence to defeat . It was neither _scicEor mX meal invention which aimed at their _stUl further degradation , but it was an act ofthe Britilh _leSture-the _. project of a British miniater-a conSS _ciaLexperiment-jof which they ( the Boot _andlK ¦ akors ) were to be the passive _raaUrial . He cSd not . _underetand upjnvwhat principle the Prime Minister had reduced the protective " duties on ffl branch of manufacture-a branch of social _induSJ on which a greater mass were dependant for the

means of existence than any other in the United Kingdom . The results were anticipated—when that measure was sanctioned by an irresponsible Parliament , and those who had hot the penetration to foresee , were now as seriously alarmed as the most reflecting . Already French agencies were being opened in every town of importance _y and reductions of wages were not only inevitable , i £ they did not make a mighty moral effort to resist it , but that would be but half the evil , __ as the consumption of foreign work would render it impossible lor thousands to procure labour at any rate of wages . Had the Prime Minister proposed any reciprocal advantage to them ( the Boot and Shoemakers ) , such as the probable admission of British work into
tho European markets , there might have been at least a plausible ground for his measure . But , onthe contrary while our markets are opened to foreign manufacturers , for work got up where the means of living is sixty and seventy per cent , cheaper than in Britain , in consequence of proportionably lower taxation , every continental market is inaccessible to their ( thc Boot and Shoemakers' ) hands . It was the manufacturers of thc entire continent against England , and England against itself . They ( the Boot and Shoemakers ) were by far the most numerous trade in the united kingdom , and he ( Mi . M . ) thought that they ranked as high in the scale of intelligence . Their numbers were in England and Wales , Boot and Shoemakers , males 177 , 144 , females
10 , 799 . In Scotland , Boot and Shoemakers , males 25 , 945 , females 892 . In Ireland the numbers were as follows : —Brogue-makers , males 5 , 267 , females 9 , boys 110 ; Boot and Shoemakers , males 45 , 656 , females 3 , 436 , boys 1 , 105 . Making a total of 270 , 309 . He hoped they woidd soon ascertain by official returns what had been the increase of imports under the new Tariff , and then they would be enabled to meet the Prune Minister and Legislature . Sir Robert Peel could not refuse a deputation oomposed of an ca _s ual number of workmen and employers to consult with him on the nature of a measure which involved the interests and welfare of so great a section of the artisans and manufacturers of the united kingdom . —Mi * . M . before sitting down , moved the following- resolution ;
"That we , the members of the Birmingham section of the North Midland Association of Boot and Shoemakers , _having seriously deliberated on the decision ofthe Executive , in the case of thc Bradford strike , consider that the Executive was bound , in moral respect to the judgment of sections of the Union , to have consulted them before coming to a resolution on a strike of so serious a nature to the interests of the trade , both locally and nationally ; and while regretting the injury entailed on the Association , we deem , it expedient to declare our opinion that a more efficient means of national unity must be established throughout the united kingdom ; and further consider that the recent alteration of the Tariff is most fearfully affecting the interests of the trade ; and unless a perfect unity and confidence
pervade the body , that their condition must soon become unsupportable . It is therefore resolved that cones " pendence be commenced forthwith with every united body of shopmates throughout thc country , to ascertain their opinions of the future means of operation for the defence of the interests of thc trade on this Important crisis . " Mr . Devine seconded , and Mr . Foxwell and Mr . Knight supported tlio motion . Carried unanimously . Mr . Lacon moved , and Mi * . Carlow seconded , " That all cards be relieved , and societies of shopmates be acknowledged ; and that eaeh society bo respectfully solicited to prepare reports ofthe evils which affect the interests of the trade in their district . " Carried unanimously . Mr . Mason then moved " That £ 2 be forthwith remitted to support the Kendal strike . " Carried nem con . The meeting then broke up .
Scotch National Delegate Meetixg of Miners . — A meeting ( called by circular letters ) of delegates from the various mining districts in Scotland took place on the 13 th inst . at Falkirk , for the purpose of considering the following important subjects : —1 st . Thc utility of the miners of Scotland disconnecting themselves from the General Union , and forming a Scottish Union . 2 nd . The wages made per day at present , and the advance obtained during the last three months . 3 rd . The number of tubs or corves put out per day , and the average prior to thc restriction of the out-put , and ; the number put out at present . 4 th . The amount of coals in stock , and if such are on the increase or decrease . 5 th . The best mode of obtaining an _ineivaso of _waeos . without liavine
recourse to a strike . 6 th . Thc best mode of arousing the districts . _TtU . When and where the next National Delegate meeting is to be held . The districts represented were Fit ' cshire , East Lotluan , Falwick , Grangemouth , Glasgow , Coatbridge , Airdrie , and Holytown . A lengthy debate took place on the first resolution in the circular , which ended in an almost unanimous vote to keep firm to thc General Union , the minority pledging themselves to reconsider the subject . From the report of the delegates on the second question , it would appear that the average day ' s wage is 3 s . 4 d . per day , the 4 d . being got as advance during the last month . In the restricted districts the out-put prior to the limiting tlic day ' s work , were three carts , at 13 ewt . nor cart , now
reduced to two carts on the average per day ; the average number of hours per day from eight to ten . Thcstock of coals reported to be small , and daily diminishing . The delegates entered into arrangements for the arousing of the backward districts . On the question being put , as to the best mode of obtaining an advance of wages , without having recourse to a strike , a warm debate ensued . The delegates from Halytown reported that it was the opinion of then * constituencies that the best mode was the carrying out the Kestrictiev System , and the forming extensive co-operative societies , for thc collection of capital , to be laid out in the purchase of land ; so that they
would thus be able to bring capital to bear against capital . The last week of the old year the men of Halvtown had commenced to par threepence per week to a fund for these purposes : unanimous resolutions were passed in favour of thc plan . After discussing and settling the various subjects brought before them , the delegates agreed to meet again on that day four weeks ( Tuesday , llth Feb . ) , in Irvine , Ayrshire ; and in the meantime to do all in their power to forward thc good cause . The best feeling existed throughout the whole proceedings , which continued till past ten o ' clock at night , when thc meeting broke up , having sat twelve hours .

Those _Anxicted with a Short Codqii arc re- 1 ferred to an advertisment in another column , d | Dr . Locock ' s Pulmonic Wafers , where thev will _^ I it sot forth that one or two will give instant relief . | Rotal Polytechnic Institution . —We arc much in thi | abit when we have an hour to spare of visiting _«> i - museum of this institution , and we regret that wc canao _' . dedicate more hours to these visits ; because there «« 3 Know our time would be well spent . Last week we neK f much gratified by inspecting the model of a bedstead , fo" t which Mr . Henry Pratt , of New Bond-street , has obtain ?* | a . patent . It is designed for the use of sick persons o * I invalids of aU classes , and its use consists in : _i _iieculii * _| construction of parts of thc frame-work bv means ol which the mattress or bed , or whatever it may be on w _* I the sick person is stretched , may be withdrawn _fo fl 1 under tn _» patient , and replaced after _haviii" - been sliak * _| up , aired , or cleaned , without _disturbin _*** the limbs or _M termg the posture of the bodv . it will casilv & $ seen of what importance such a " contrivance mav be ' cases ini which _repost- and preservation of one _nositio" _* * :- " required more particularl y in cases _offi-aeturcdlinua . _l h ! ' ¦ ' : bedstead , as exhibited in the model , is distinct fro _^ a ou _£ r framing , to the latter of whicli a sheet is "achcj | and distended over side rails , for the purpose of supports ing the patient on the occasions required , independent ? of the bed or mattress . This may be done by raising , U means of a winch and screws on that part of the out * - frame to which the distended sheet is attached , or V lowering the bedstead on which thc bed or mattress loam . so as to leave thc patient supported bv the distended sf . whilst the bedstead with the hod , ic ' is withdrawn . _« ' *; Simple and efficient in its construction , can be understo _* almost at a glance , and , what is important , can be usc « ° ; worked by anybod y of the commonest capacity . The •* ' ; way for our readers is , to go and see the model at < ° _Polytechnic Exhbition , and judge for themselves .
