Mansion-House.—Bigaht. Bt A Woman.—Ann M...
MANSION-HOUSE . —Bigaht . bt a Woman . —Ann Mills was charged with bigamy . Thomas Blake said that _avbile absent from borne , the prisoner , wbo was his wife , had married a policeman . The clerk of the parochial church of _StEdmond the King and Martyr , in Lombardstreet , produced the marriage register , in which an entry appeared tbat John Cooke , bachelor and policeman , of Tbree King-court , was married to Ann Hills , spinster , on the 5 th of March , 1846 , of the same place . Thomas Birch { policeman 563 ) stated that he was present at the marriage ofthe 5 th of March , 1846 , between tbe policeman and the prisoner Ana Mills . John Perkins , a weaver , stated that he was present at the marriage of Thomas Blake with the prisoner on the 29 : h of September , 1834 , at Stepney Old Church , oa St < pn _» y-green . Tbe prisoner
_saiai _nothing to tbe charge . Blake cannot positively say whether Cook knew that the prisoner was a married womaa . When he saw her oa Saturday , * he at first told him Cooke knew of it , and afterwards Cooke told him that he did not . Cooke lodged in his bouse before he got into tho difficulty that caused his absence . Alderman Gibbs : What was that difficulty ! Blake : I was taken into _custody about some wine which belonged to Mr Day , and I was tried at the Central Criminal Court , and while I was in confinement _Caoke married my wife . He was taken into custody by Cooke . C _. ioke was called , but did not answer-. Inspector Todbunter said the moment it
was known to the police authorities that an imputation of such a bind was cast upon one of the force , the person accused was of course rtqnired to make an explanation . As , however , the man took no trouble to clear his character , he was informed that he was no longer one of the body , and he left the force on Saturday . Blake said that Cooke was in possession of his goods , wbich remained in the house after his committal to Newgate ; and hoped that tbe magistrate wonld order that they should be delivered np to him . Alderman Gibbs said he could not give any order of the kind , as the sheriffs were entitled to tbe property of a convicted felon . The prisoner was committed for trial .
GUILDHALL . _—Akoihek Attempt ax _Mcede * . —John Filby , a _youag man , _described to be a panel polisher , was charged witb attempting to murder his wifeand daughter . Hannah Filby , who bore an infant in her arms , and seemed in tbe deepest grief , stated , that shortly before 12 o ' clock on Friday night , the prisoner , her husband , came home in a very excit ° -d state and proceeded to quarrel witb her . This continued for some time , and he suddenly left the room , saying "That be would put an end to all this . " She then placed the child on the bed , and in a few moments he returned with a razor , and throwing the blade quite back , ran to the bed , and stooped over the child . Having no donbt what he intended to do , she grappled with him and called out "Murder : " and " Police , " and , after a desperate effort , she succeeded in
restraining farm until an officer , named Douglas , who resided in tbe same house , came to her assistance : With the aid of another constable , who was called from tbe street , tbe raxor was eventually wrenched from his hand , and he was secured . Donglas , No . SO , confirmed her statement : —The prisoner was a violent man , he was constantly quarrelling with her , and he ( Douglas ) was satisfied iftherazorhadnotbeentakenfromhim , moredread ful consequences must have ensued . He was an exceed _, ingly indolent man , and cared littlefor the comfortof his wifeand family . The prisoner denied that he was an indolent man . The fact was , that hie wife was constantly quarrelling , and he had no peace at heme . Mr Alderman Johnson sjid it was evident that he meditated them very serious injury , and he should commit him for trial .
LAMBETH . —Impoetakt to Pawkbeokers and the Public—Mr Wood , pawnbroker , of St _John-street , Clerkenwell , appeared before Mr Elliott , in compliance to a summons taken out by a young lady named Louisa Nutman , in which he was charged with illegally detaining 3 gold watch that had been illegally pawned at his shop . The hearing of the case occupied tbe magistrate for some time , but the short facts were these . On the 20 th of April last the watch belonging to the complainant was left at the ship of a watchmaker named Thomas Kemp , then residing at No . 58 , Oakley-street , Lambeth , to be repaired . Soon after Kemp absconded , taking with him , or previously disposing of , upwards of twenty watches wbich had been left witb bim to repair . And on the 10 th of May Mr Nutman , the brother of the complainant , received a letter from . Mrs Kemp , in which was enclosed the duplicate cf his sister ' s watch , whicii was pledged at the shop of Mr Wood for £ 5 . He subsequently called at the shop of Mr Wood , and upon paying
Is . 3 d . interest , and 4 d . for a new _fccknt _. he was shown the watcb , wbicb he idmtified as his sister ' s , and the shop _, man made a fresb ticket in his own name . Ao application was subsequently made at tbis court , and a wairant was granted against Kemp , hot he bas managed to elude the vig ilance of Sergeant Gift ' , an active officer , who holds it . Mr Humphreys , n ho attended on the part of the defendant , raised several law and other points against the proceeding , lie also read from the l ' aumbrokert ' Gazette tbe _paitirolarsof an application made only the week before last to Mr Hardwick , at Marlborough _, street , for a sum-nons against a pawnbroker for detaining two watches under precisely similar circumstances as in the present case , and that magistrate refused to grant it , as the person pawning bad not been proceeded against . Mr Elliott , however , was of opinion tbat the proceedings in the present case were in strict conformity with tbe law ; that the case had been clearly established , and ordered tlio _| defendant to deliver up the watch 10 M « J 9 Nutman .
Mansion-House.—Bigaht. Bt A Woman.—Ann M...
" Unionfor the Million , ' * It is our intention this week to lay before you a few observations on the great principle of association , and the advantages or evils arising from the same . Association is one . of the first principles almost developed hy human nature , and exhibits itself most clearly and intelligibly—from lisping infancy to the hoary-headed old veteran . It is in association the school-boy finds companions to
mingle in bis youthful sports , and to participate in the pleasures of his mirthful play ; and it is upon the same principle that patriots blend their thoughts in mutual friendship , and concoct plans for the diffusion of general good , and emancipation of their suffering and oppressed fellow-men . This great principle is _begiuoing to exhibit itself in a most striking and prominent manner in the transactions of work _, ing men ; in fact , it is one of the most remarkable and characteristic circumstances of the present age : it is the energy with which the principle of combination , or action of general forces , by associated numbers , is manifested . It ; may be _saW , without exaggeration , that every important and
beneficial object is procured by union of effort . If men want to crush one set of opinions and raise up another , they form societies ; if they want to supersede the old _. tedious and irksome stage-waggon mode of travelling by the introduction of steam and railway conveniences , they form societies ; if they desire to promote the principles of peace and overthrow the abominations of war , they form societies ; if men desire to establish' commerce and friendly intercourse with men of every nation , they arrange and concentrate their energies , and so carry their object ; if they wish to abolish old and corrupt institutions and bad laws , they associate their means in the most prompt and effectual manner .
Nothing can be accomplished without association . Union gives eificiency to our efforts , and stamps with triumph our operations for general good . Such is the spirit of the present age with regard to the formation of societies ; while the facilities for the successful attainment of the objects of organized bodies are easy of access , and with the rapidity of lightning open and give us communication with our fellow-men . It is b y means of the printing press—the penny postage—the railway conveniences , and steam navigation , that give the patriot and philanthropist the most ready means of communicating their thoughts to kindred minds , though separated by the four quarters of'the globe , and
enables them lo devise plans to realise their purposes , and by the same means advocate those plans and move to unanimity of action the masses of the people , with the precision and exactness of a disciplined army . It is by union that men accomplish wonders , and without union nothing of importance or of any advantage can be effected . It was union and co-operation that called into existence the East India Company , and which has subsequently stamped it with such success , and , with a power that rules the destinies of nations , keeps in awe princes and sovereigns , and makes the boundless ocean minister to their personal advantage , and the preservation of their individual interests .
It was this same principle that called into practical operation the salutary and benevolent institutions and friendly societies which work so beneficially , in affording mutual assistance to the disabled and infirm , and by that means effectually preventing a mass of suffering ' and distress , which would otherwise inevitably fall upon the surviving friends of the deceased members of such institutions . In fact , it was the same great principle that effected the emancipation of the West-India slaves—that passed the Reform Bill—that procured the
restoration of the Dorchester Labourers—and that repealed the Corn Laws ; and it will be the same principle , when applied npon a national scale , that will entirely effect the redemption and emancipation of the working classes , and successfully restore Labour ' s rights and privileges ,-and place men in a position of becoming each other ' s benefactors and friends , instead of being disorganised competitors in the labour market , awfully underrating the price of industry , to the destruction of all that is good and useful to the working bees .
But a better and more cheering era is dawning upon ns that dense cloud of ignorance and prejudice that has so long enveloped tlie masses in impenetrable darkness , and hostile isolation is now being swept away by the strong tide of _ceneral conibination _, and amalgamation ofthe industrious classes . In urging on tbis current we exult and glory , and congratulate our friends in co-operation upon the auspicious aspect that presents itself , and the unprecedented success that has attended our operations ; and already do we imagine that we hear the rumbling of the chariot of emancipation in the distance , and sending forth its harbingers of peace and triumph , to prepare the " care-worn sons of toil " to be ready to sing , with real joy and unmixed truth ,
" Britons now no more are slaves . ' " while the reverberating hills shall echo back the motto , " In Union ye are strong . " To impress the working classes with the necessity of forming themselves into parts of the National Association , we need not adduce many arguments . That union is necessary , is apparent from the fact that if we were so inclined we cannot do without associating together . Two men will naturally organise their joint power to perform that which , individually and separately , they could not possibly effect ; and it is further attested from the fact , that what two men in a trade cannot realise themselves ,
the entire trade may become formidable by uniting their energies , and accomplish that with ease which would have sunk the two in sad and hopeless despair . If two , _thenfore , are stronger than one , twenty are stronger than two ; and an entire trade is in a much better and prouder position when properly united than what it would be , it it were only partially so . And , by tbe same process of reasoning , we say , that the aggregate masses of working men in this country would be in a more commanding end noble position , if they would but organise their bodies , and concentrate their sectional euergies , into one vast and powerful association , than what they ever possibly
can be while they continue to suffer a merely local Society to absorb its own strength in unprofitable labours . For who cannot perceive , that that whicii would crush the operations of one trade singly , would itself be overwhelmed by the spontaneous power of the National Combination being brought to bear on the behalf of such a trade , without the _Association sustaining even tbe sli g htest abatement of its own internal strength ? Then let the trades unite together , and , by their associated means , create a power that will enable them effectually to withstand any aggression that may in future be attempted upon the rights ot Industry .

Card Of Tue National Association Of Unit...
CARD OF TUE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . This rapidly extending Association , wbich bas just held its third annual Conference , and ot which a Member of Parliament is the President , in the person of T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., has lately issued a highly characteristic card of membership . The excellent likeness of the well-working—well-deserving , and well-inclined Progressionist chieftain , is made the prominent feature ofthe engraving , —situated in the centre , and being immediately surrounded by a frame-work of knotted flowers , or rather of . the rose of England , thistle of Scotland , and the shamrock ot Ireland , so wrought together , that the admixture thus formed seems truly a wreath worked from the richest garniture of our gardens ; its windmill , beehivc . and a sheaf of corn placed in the foreground , at the bottom of tbe wreath , and intercepting the view of the lower portion of the breast of this figure .
The top of the caidia simply headed "National Association , " and at thebottom is the remainder of the sentence , " of United Trades . " And very appropriately too has this main epithet been employed , for truly no association can so justly be entitled to be called "National" as that wherein Labour , its deservance , and its rights , as affecting the great masses of society , is concerned ! A balloon taking its wondrous journey through the high and boundless firmament is seen on the left , underline first portion ofthe writing mentioned ; and immedia tely below this again the equally
wondrous and still more manageable , and therefore more useful railway train , is _dashine along , iu ltsBpacedefjing route . On ' the right side , opposite to these , are two _figurations of the travellers ol _thewide ocean , the one that of a ship , to be propelled b ? the power of the strong wind , _whieliisjust about to be launched into _iis watery element , and the other that ot a steam-vessel actually making its far-purposed voyage , with its fire-fed pipe in lull play , and the wrathful !) opposing current wholly unable to keep back the strong onward push of the uever-ceosing paddlewheel .
And now come the " working bees" themselves , in a series of cleverly exicuted representations of various manna ! employments , llero , conspicuously at the top of the outer department ol the engraving , a pair of sturdy blacksmiths are observed to be labouring at ilms wonted . vocation , the one holding

the heated iron , anatheotherlhe . iikiJtulbammerer ; and here , - on the right , the _Bkip-builder is next to be seen , and then _Jn ? downward succession tbe sawyer , the plasterer on his ladder , the _hattir , the painter with his easel , -the cooper finishing off his wine-cask ,- the- shoemaker—who , by-the-bye , - is made to sit on much too hii . li a stool—the pressman , who iB shown affixing the white sheet of paper against the tympan , which in the next moment is to come off , freighted with its beautiful typical _impression of , perhaps , some glorious piece of pootry or divine philosophy , or any other noble or useful exhibition of the intelligence of either the past or the present . And , then , close to tbis last-mentioned workman is another of our great _enligliteners , the maker of candles ; ay , the greasy tallow worker ! as he-is here seen looking anxiously at the character of his 'Mast dip , " and dreaming probably the while
of the inestimable use these articles of his handicraft will be to the midnight . _student , or during the watchful though , holy services of affection , a » employed in tho lonely seclusion of the chamber of sickness . That indispensable artisan , in the way of our _culinarj wants , the tin-smith , next appears ; ihen the clean-aproned carpenter planing busily at his bench , and after him ( having now arived at the bottom , ) the engineer , or engine-maker , is particularly worthy of notice , standing before you uncoated , likea most noble hand of Industry as he is , and with bis left arm resting , as conscious of the true dignity ef his achievements , in the firm comparted boiler , which , when filled witb its mighty agency , is to pour along almost as swift as the driver pleaseth those extraordinary locomotive machines which have nww , by tneir very commonness , become no longer a name .
A spare apparelled tailor , as we now begin in our visual route to ascend the other side , is depioted as offering his outstretched pattern-sheet to the eye , placed to one side of whom is the body-bent morocco leather finisher , while next above sits the weaver ; higher still , and considerably in the distance a newsman of the old fashion , with trumpet at mouth , and bundle of papers under his arm is proclaiming the " just arrived " novelties of his occupation ; while next is to be seen the quietly em ployed basket-maker , and perhaps a poet too , as well , like his once
fellowworkman , Thomas Miller . Another phase of the printing profession is next observed , he who at those windlass-like spokes is turning a lithographic machine ; tbe remaining figures being a bricklayer , stonecutter , and wheelwright , with three other representations , where the occupations are not to be so distinctly made out as to warrant one in giving them an assured naming . This , however , may not be in reality so much a fault as it may seem just , as it would be difficult to show in a picture the difference between the pointing of a needle and the pointing of a pin . j .

The Central Committee of the above flourishing institution met on Monday last , T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair , for the transaction of ceneral business . The minutes were read and confirmed , also an _immense mass of correspondence from all parts of the kingdom , and the following reports received from the different agents and members of the central committee . —Mr Robson , of the central committee , reported that on Tuesday , June 13 th , he attended a public meeting ofthe Sheffield table knife haft makers . Mr William ilaigh occupied the chair , and in opening the business said , all present would be aware that for some time past there had been considerable agitation in the town , as to whether it would be advisable fair the trades of Sheffield to
cooperate with the National Association . The chairman said , 33 Mr Robson from tbe central committee was present , he should not occupy their attention , but exhort them to weigh * well its constitution , and to examine it in all its bearings . The chairman then introduced Mr Robson , who was received with applause _, lie said it gave him much pleasure to meet the men of Sheffield , when he considered that from this spot emanated the great Natioual Association wbich he represented . He could not forget that Mr Drury , whom they all knew , was the person who first suggested tbe formation of this association in his correspondence with Mr T . Duneombe , the member for Finsbury . And he remembered the circumstance which called for that correspondence—it was an attempt ou tbe part of ministers to introduce a bill , called the Masters ' and Servants' Bill—a mea . sure the most insidious that ever was concocted . Mr Robson went on to show the progress the
association had made since their first conference , the present numerical strength , and Ihe future prospects of the Bociety . lie said he need not fay much on the principles of unions . Did they not throw their pence into one fund to protect a particular branch of trade , because a man could not Btand against the capitalist by himself ? Were not these unions intended to protect the working classes against any attempt to interfere with their privileges ? They might be assured it was by the amount of respect they had for themselves that the masters would respect them . He did not wish to denounce their employers for there were bad and goid in their class , as well as the class he waa addressing . He would have them show . tbnt they were bound together toprotect tbe honestly-disposed of the master class , as well as _themsolvea . Mr Robson then proceeded to show the manner in which the National Association conducted the movements
of _emancipation ; that the way they ' acied was to give employment to men , instead of paying away the funds , in giving support to men to walk about duing nothing , and , as it appeared to him ( Mr Robson ) they were perfectly and absolutely independent of that clas 3 , and were capable of becoming capitalists themselves , by saying tothe masters , — " If you do not want our labour , we will employ our _.-elves . " Mr _Robson then directed attention to the system of overtime working , which he said , if it would take 100 men 10 hours a-day to do a certain piece of work , it would require 150 men to do it working 8 hours a-day .-This system would do something towards absorbing the surplus labour . If the trades' _unions of this country did but know their own position , tliey would
set their faces against the principle of _bvertime working to the greatest extent . Mr Robson concluded by saying he could foresee the day when they would carry out these grand and ennobling objects , and when they should summon Mi * Duneombe to Sheffield to lay the first stone of a noble edifice of their own orection , worthy of the common cause they should have brought to such a successful termination . Nothing would strike such terror into the evil hearts of evil employers as this consummation , and nothing would give so much joy to those who wished well to _tlit working men . In conclusion , he begged that they would put to him any questions , upon any point , respecting whicii further information was desired . After the lecture a great number of very
important qucstions . were asked , which appeared to be very satisfactorily answered . A vote of thanks to the speaker was given by acclamation , and the pubiic business of the meeting concluded . Mr aMaitland of the Potteries attended a meeting of the sewing silk twisters , whicii took place in the Temperance Hall , Leek , to take into consideration the propriety of that important body of men connecting themselves with the National Trades ' Association . Mr Gat ton , an intelligent working man , was called tothe chair , and after some very appropriate remarks , introduced Mr Nixon , the secretary for the trades' local affairs , who read over the past accounts , which gave great satisfaction to all who were present . lie also urged the meeting to Join the
United Trades , as their only safety , * for , said the speaker , I see nothing else tbatcan cure the evils which afflict the industrious classes of this country . Mr Malkin next addressed the meeting on _theneces _« _sity ofstrengtbening . theirposition , and advised them to oast aside every other consideration , and to unite with the masses , who were determined to free themselves from slavery , degradation and ruin . Several other gentlemen whosenames did not transpire also spoke in favour of tin ir trade , giving in their adhesionto the United 'Jrades as soon as possible , ' showing that union is btrengtb , and that the larger the body was which tb < y connected themselves witb , so much stronger would be their own position . The chairman next called on Mr . Maitland , who bad been
deputed by the Central Committee to visit them , to explain the principles and objects of the N . T . Association , which he did , in a very eloquent manner . He showed at great length the superiority of a national combination over all sectional ones . The speaker exhibited _son ; e samples ot goods manufactured by the Association , which produced a thrilling sensation upon the meeting , showing tbem that the old system of strikes was abandoned , and the money formerly paid men for going about idle was spent in the purchase of material to set them to work for the Association . After a most stirring appeal to the meeting on behalf of the Trades' Association , the speaker sat dowu , warmly applauded . Mr Mountfurd next addressed the meeting at some length , in a truly energetic manner , and strongly urged upon
them the necessity /)! joining the monster Association ; after which it was unanimously agreed to give in their adhesion to { . he society , and to transmit one month ' s levies immediately . The number at the present time exceeds 300 members , and in a few weeks there is not the least doubt but l hat they will number 1 , 000 . This meeting has caused great enthusiasm in this town , in favour of the consolidated union . Hurrah for the sewing silk-twisters of Leek , they have taken a step in the right direction . N . B . —Those trades who bave been supplied with cards arc requested to send for their full amount , so that each member may be furnished with one ; and thpse trades who have received none , must forward their order to the secretary , Mr Barratt , No . 11 , Tottenham-court-road , London ,
Messrs Green ai-d Humphries attended a meeting of the farriers , Pied Horse , Fnisbury-square . The deputation had a lengthened interview with that body . The Committee will take the matter up . It is expected that a pubiic meeting of the farriers will take place as earlv as possible . Messrs Green and Winters attended a meeting of the Society of Tailors , Wardour-strcet . The interview terminated very satisfactorily . The society expressed theirinlcntion of joining the Association , at the same time to continue their connection with their own general body . _ _ _, , _

Trades'movements. The Coal Miners* Petit...
TRADES ' MOVEMENTS . THE COAL MINERS * PETITION . Tothe Honourable the House of Commons of Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament assembled . The Humble Petition of tha Colliers whose _uames are hereunto ' subscribed , Humbly sheweth ; That your petitioners are colliers , working in the coal mines in the coal districts of England , Wales , and Scotland .
That they have sean and heard with great satisfaction that several laws have been passed of late jears to better the condition of working men in different tradeB _. nnd for their and their children ' s protection and safety from injury " nnd accident ; and to assist in the improvement of their mind and habits . And yourpetltioners with great _confidence submit to your Honourable House that the colliers have at no time in no wise been behindhand in honesty , ' peaceful conduct and loyalty , and thpy , therefore , approach your Honourable House in the full hope that tbey will receive from your Honourable House consideration and attention . Your petitioners believe that much may be done by judicious laws for the benefit of your petitioners , and tho collierB in general , without wrong _orinjury to any one .
Yourpetltioners desire to direct the attention of your Honourable House to the many deaths continually happening from bad ventilation in tbe mine * , nnd also to the distressing accidents which still more frequently oceHrfrom the same cause , and from wbich your petitioners are put to heavy expenses and _loie their work for long periods of tim >*; but which accidents , unfortunately for your petitioners , do not come before the public , unless they occasion death . In many mines the air courses are not made with _suBcient care , nor attended to ' with sufficient vigilance and caution ; in many the air has to travel too long a distance from the down-cast shaft to
the up-cast shaft ; in many there is great neglect by the _underlookers nnd others , whose duty it is to look after the mines and the colliers ; air doors are broken , where they ought to be perfect—open , when they ought to be _j / _iui-insomeease 8 , «/ _V «(« have been hungup _instead of doors— -and many other neglects occur from over confidence caused by previous freedom from accident . Your petitioners admit that many of your petitioners have been _neglectful and over confident ; but tbey are many of thera very poor , and their position with their masters does not often allow them to speak freely of facts , and as they really are .
That your petitioners have heard , and many of them know it to be true , tbat great good has been effected in cotton factories , from the appointment of inspectors , and by the _prorisions for railing off machinery , and to prevent neglect and accidents , aud they submit that some similar plan for the miners would do much in guarding against danger and accident , Your petitioners submit to your Honourable House that inspectors should be appointed to visit all the mine ? , and that some of these inspectors should be men practi cally acquainted with colliery work ; tbat such inspectors should see tbat accurate maps are made of all the
workings in the _mmen ; that these inspectors should grant licences ta mines where they consider tbat due provision and care has been used to prevent accident ? , and ensure good ventilation ; and that without such licence no mine should be permitted to work . Tbat penalties of one hundred pounds at the least should be infiicted in cast of any deviation from the orders of such inspectors , and that such penalties should be paid half by the landlord , and half by the tenant of the mine , and should form a fund for the support of the families of those who die from explosions , or other accidents in the mineB . Your petitioners submit that small fines ia these cases are not felt , and are of no use whatever _.
Your petitioners submit to your Honourable House that the appointment of inspectors would not only insure a better system of ventilation , but would also remove or lessen man ; other causes of death—such as Roofs Fatting—Water Rushing in—Defective Chains and Engines : these and many other instances of want of due caution would become much less frequent if proper inspectors were appointed to visit the mines , and were invested with sufficient power to enforce a compliance with their directions : such inspectors giving no notice of their intention to visit the mines , and at all times going there when ' they were not expected .
Your petitioners have heard tbat the government of the country have hem and are endeavouring to discover some plan by which accidents from bad air may be altogether prevented in mines . But your petitioners fear that such discovery will be very difficult and distant ; if not altogether beyond tbe power of man . And your petitioners are well aware , and they submit it to your honourable house , that accidents from sudden and unlooked-for accumulations of bad air are not so frequent as has been represented , bnt that in _almost all eases it would appear on inquiry that it was known for some time before that there was bad air and that there waB danger . And your petitioners beli . eTe from long observation that for every one accident which could not be foreseen nor guarded against fifty at least happen which might havo bean prevented b y proper precaution , And your petitioners believe that no la . _vs or rules tbat your honourable house could make would ensure good ventilation or _prsper care , unless inspectors were appointed io see such rules and laws attended to .
Your petitioners have observed with much satisfaction the laws compelling the masters in factories to provide some amount of education for the children who work there , and your petitioners submit to your honourable house that a similur plan would be of great use to the children of colliers . Unless your honourable bouse assist your petitioners in carrying out this tbeir wish , that their children may be educated , not one in a _hundred of the generation of colliers now growing up will be able to write or read . As the colliers are placed —and your honourable bouse will , on consideration , see the truth of tbis assertion- —the difficulty of obtaining education for their children is much greater than ever it was for the parents of factory children .
Your petitioners inform your honourable house that many accidents occur iu the mines from persons being entrusted with the care of the engines who have served no regular apprenticeship and are incompetent for the work . Your petitioners submit tbat bo person ought to be so entrusted until he has served a regular apprenticeship of at least three years , and is twenty-one years of age , and has been examined by an inspecter and received a certificate of his being fully qualified—many valuable lives would be saved if a law were made to this effeet .
Your petitioners submit to your honourable house that a public registry should be kept of the owners and tenants of all mints , and that before amine is licensed , such owners and tenants should sign a declaration that they would do all in their power to enforce the laws for the good management of their mines , and the protection of tho lives ofthe colliers;—and that they would attend at all times and give evidence , and information when required by tho inspectors or by magistrates At present in cases of complaint , it frequently happens that no one knows who is the proper and responsible person to apply to .
Your petitioners ' ask your Honourable House te inquire into the Truck System , and tbe manner in which tbe law made for tho purpose of putting down that sys . tem is evaded . Many colliers in Scotland and in other parts are , by various Ingenious contrivances , compelled to submit to tbis system , and cannot protect themselves from it . And your petitioners submit that a person offending against the laws for the abolition of truck , _oux'bt to be tried as a criminal , and punished with a degra . ding punishment ; and not suffered ta be discharged on paying a fine .
Yonr petitioners inform your Honourable House tbat much mirery and loss is occasioned by the system of paying colliers' wages at long intervals : one consequence is that the collier is obliged to purchase bis goods from the truck shop : Yocr petitioners ask your Honourable House to make a law that wages shall be paid every week , or at not greater intervals than _oace a fortnight . Your petitioners gratefully acknowledge tbe good effected by tbe law against payment of wages in beer shops : and the law which they now ask for , would , thoy assure your Honourable House , be equally beneficial in its operation , And your petitioners assure your Honourable House that such a law would go furthor than any other remedy to do away with the truck system _.
Your petitioners also ask your Honourable House to make a law tbat the colliers shall be paid for their work by weight and not by measure . It has been found most satisfactory to cowl masters and the public to sell and buy their coals by weight instead of by measure ; and your petitioners assure your Honourable House that payment by weight is much more fair for all parties than by measure . And your petitioners also ask your Honourable House to enact in tbe same laws that coals may be weighed by beams aud scales , as that mode of weighing is less likely to be wrong , and _u-ou ' _ai give more satisfaction . . Your petitioners humbly pray yonr Honourable House to _takt * the matters of this petition into your consideration , and to _paBi such laws as to your Honourable House shall seem just and proper to carry into _efllct the wishes of your petitioners . And your petitioners will ever proy , also .
Leamik _3 ion Tailors . —At a general meeting ot the operative tailors in Leamington , held on Tuesday evening , Juno loth , the subject of the National Association of United Trades was brought under consideration , and after a lengthy discussion , whether we should remain as a trade by ourselves , or join the National Association of United Trades ' tke following resolution was unanimousl y passed : — That we , the tailors in Leamington , being fully aware of the inutility of individual trades' unions , and seeing tbo necessity of a general union of the whole of tho trades in the kingdom , resolve forthwith to join the _Association of United TraCes , it being the only means wlwreby we shall be able to compete with the vast amount ofunprincipled capital in this country ; and further , we call upon tho whole of the tailors in tbe United Kingdom to join tlie above without delay , as past experience must have proved that we are not ab _' e to light our own batties individuall y , and that the National Trades is the

United Patuiots' And Patriarchs' Benefit...
UNITED PATUIOTS' AND PATRIARCHS ' BENEFIT SOCIETIES . . Tha anniversary of these institutions was cele . bratedby a dinner and ball , at the Old Bayswater Tavern , Bayswater , on Monday , 21 st inst . The dinner was served up in a style that did the hos great credit _. and was done ample justice to by a goodl number of the members , their wives , and friends A splendid band , and some well-sung songs , added much to the enjoyment of the company .
After dinner , Luke James Hansard , Esq ., who had kindly undertaken the office of Chairman , rose and said : Ladies and Gentlemen , —It gives me great pleasure to find you engaged in promoting your own welfare of your own accord , without the assistance of donations or subscriptions from others , thereby sustaining your own self-respect , and keeping you from the union bastile , The worthy chairman having alluded to the benefits tbat would accrue , tosociety , if the rich and poor were to unite in some grand benevolent institution , concluded by saying that he felt delighted to see patriots and patriarchsthe young and the aged—banded together for mutual benefit and assistance . ; He begged to propose— "The United Patriots ' and Patriarchs' Benefit Societies—may they prosper , and be to tbeir members as heretofore , a friend and support in times of sickness and adversity . "
Mr Payne , in a speech m which * * he bigily complimented the general secretary , proposed : — "The healths of Ihe General Secretary , the Agents , _Assistant , and Country Mfmbere of the Societies . " Mr Ruffy , the general secretary , said , In rising to return my sincere thanks for the high honour you have been pleased to confer on me , ! cannot , in , truth , find words to express my feelings . This day I have to render to you an account of my stewardship in managing your affairs ; this day I stand upon my trial , and you have to decide whether or not I am worthy of the situation I hold . The annual statement has been sent to each of you ; you have had time to examine and judge for yourselves , and if there is anything wrong , anything requiring
explanation , anything you do not approve , or anything you think requires amendment , Ism here to-day to put you , or to be put by you right . We have also agents with us to-day from different parts ofthe kingdom who can hear , sec and judge for themselves . The annual statements must be a source of gratification to all , they afford the clearest proof of what can be accomplished by union . Weare united for a social purpose , not for any purpose that can wound tbe feelings of anyone . We wish not to interfere with . the creed , views , or opinions of any one , but we are united for the purpose of helping ourselves , seeming independence , and providing for the widow and orphan . We have expended for sickness and superannuation during the past year in tbe Patriots' Society £ 553 6 s . lid ., for funerals £ 119 16 s . 8 d ., lyings-ia £ 204 , lossby fire £ 7 , making a total of £ 884 3 s . 7 d .,
having also during the year added £ 442 4 s . 7 d . to the capital stock of tbe society . In the Patriarchs * I Society we have also in the course of one short year founded £ 4517 s . Id ., after making payments of sums for sickness and funerals . These are the fruits of union , and prove io us what may be accomplished by brotherly love and unity . I am _haupy to say that these societies are becoming known and appreciated in most parts of the united kingdom . Our estimable chairman , whose name is connected with almost every institution having the objects of benevolence and charity in view , has kindly consented to become one of the patrons of our societies , and more than that hehasspontaneously given his word for £ 10 towards forming a fund for the widows and orphans . _Tt is highly pleasing to find that our objects areapproved of by gentlemen of tbe high standing and experience of our worthy chairman .
Mr lt . T . Pook , the agent for tbe societies at _Portsea , delivered a speech , in the course of which he expressed the _vmaUojed _satUfaction of himself and brother mem . bers with thelabours ofthe general _secretary . Mr Hawvey proposed the health of Mr George Bird and the medical gentlemen connected with the institution , and expressed the high opinion he entertained ia commen with all the London members ef Mr Bird , awl of the very satisfactory manner in which he had discharged his duty to the societies , Mr Bird said , I have to thank Mr Harvey for the kind terms in which he has been p . ' eased to propose my health , and you , ladies and gentlemen , for the cordial response jou have given to it , which , I presume , I may interpret iHto a vote of confidence in my professional services . The Chinese , whom , perhaps , we arc too prone to hold in contempt , among many excellent social _rtgulationshave tbis—that they remunerate their medical attendants not as we do , in proportion to the amouut of sickness , but ia
proportion to the amount of health . In some rflgpectg , certainly , they are justified in calling us barbarians ; and we mig ht with advantage impart some of their customs as . well as their congou . An approximation to the principle I havo glanced at will be made in the Health of Towns' Bill now before Parliament—a bill , whieh I hesitate not to say , considered in its economical , social , and mural relations , is infinitely more important than any bill which , has engaged the attention ot the legislature within tho memory efman . By this bill medical inspectors of tha public health will be appointed , armed with considerable powers , whose functions it will be to reduce , if not to exterminate the physical causes of disease , and you will admit it is far better to prevent than to cure it . lam , not in the position of an old doctor , of whom I haveheard , who was more scrupulous than polite , and who , instead of drinking people ' s health , was accustomed , instead , to say , " My service to you 1 " Unlike him , I can conscientiously , and do sincerely wish you all health
and happiness . Mr Howell proposed " The health of the Sub . trea _. surcrs , Directors and Stewards , " to whieh Mr Smith neatiy replied . . The health of the chairman , and ofthe patrons , T . S . Duneombe , Esq ., U . V ., and T . Wakley , Esq ., M . P ,, was proposed by Mr Bird , who highly eulogised thoso gentlemen . The toast avas drank nithacclamation . MrHA » sABD returned thanks , and said his life was devoted to the service of tbe working class , and ever would be , because they were a suffering and a wronged class . After many eloquent and feeling remarks , ha thanked the meeting heartily for tbe manner in which , they bad expressed their regard for him .
