      • TO THE WORKING CLASSES . IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL . ' _'VTe are always gratified iu noticing the laudable exertions of the industrious and provident among onr fellow-labourers in the social vineyard , to avert from themselves and families , as far as human foresight may do , the calamities attendant upon an old age of destitution , or a period of wearisome inactivity and _uselcsstiess , through sickness or accident ; and wc will venture to say , that up to tbe extreme limit of what is called the middle class of society , there is no method so likely to attain tlie object as the institution of securely based and judiciously regulated Benefit Societies . Our attention was some time since called to thc subject by thc proceedings of one accordant with our views , enrolled under tlie title of 'THE HOYAL OAK LJEXEFIT SOCIETY , ' and established at the Mitre Tavern , St . Jlartin's-Jane . The advantages proposed to the members appear to be calculated upon a scale of liberality that requires nnd deserves extensive support . From the result of our examination of their rules , and the satisfactory explanations given as regards their practical operations , wc do not now hesitate to recommend the society to every industrious aud prudeut man as highly deserving attention , whether viewed with leference to its immediate or its prospective advantages . "Weekly _CliromcXe . March , 1 S 38 . I _^ ELLOW _BltETHPtEX , look to your own interests , . and hasten to join tliat well-regulated Benefit Society , THE KOTAL OAK , established 1 S 37 . The Com . nrittcc meet at the Mitre Tavern , CS , St . _Martin ' s-lane , every Tuesday evening , at eight o ' clock , for the admission of Members whose ages do not exceed thirty-six years , being in good health , and their income arising from tlieir business or employment averaging ' 21 s , per week . The Society is enrolled by Act of Parliament , and is conducted upon au economical and secure principle . AU unnecessary fines are abolished , and it allows the members to belong to any other-society , at the same time being a member ofthe Royal Oak . It lias paid every demand made _ujion its funds , which in eight years amounts to £ 7 , 000 , and has a Funded Capital of £ 3 , 000 invested iu the Batik of England , the interest of which produces the Society upwards of £ 100 per annum . Tradesmen aud mechanics , residing in the country , however distant , are eligible for admission , without personal attendance , by filling a printed form and transmitting it to the Secretary . Look around , aud see the number of Societies breaking up , when most needed , ia consequence of tha _extra payments on a Quarterly _Mee _. t _injbeiii'jtoiilieavyfovaworkTOgTOantow . eet on a sudden demand . This Society boasts of thc much wanted principle of a Fixed Quarterly Payment , there being no extras , as in most others ; the Subscription is 4 s . per Calendar Mouth , or payable Quarterly , and no Fines ; so ' that every member , however distant , is enabled lo scud by Post-office Order the full amountof his Quarterly _Subscriptiou .

      Experiments Have Been Conductca On This ...

      experiments have been conductca on this line ot railway , for thc purpose of testing the powers of atmospheric propulsion , and the most marked and decided success has attended all the experiments that have been hitherto performed . The question as to the power of ascending inclines was completely set at rest by an experiment which may be regarded as an c . _r _j / crimflitum crucis . A train was brought to the foot of an incline of one in fifty , and stopped , so as to denrivc it of anv power it might have acquired from

      the impetus of its previous progression . It was then propelled by thc atmosphere up the incline , and that which maiiy of our most eminent engineers have declared an impassibility was accomplished with thc _greatest case imaginable . A mong other results that have been obtained , we may mention that thc five mite' _length of tubs has been exhausted in its whole extent , the barometer being at thc time at 27 i , and that the piston has traversed its whole length . Tiie experiments arc not yet completed , but , as far as thev have gone , tlicy demonstrate net only thq _p-. v . _etieabilit v but thesispe riorifv of thc sttansplrerie _itM _& of propuhlon . The tnni was frequently _pro-Jiellni . it the rale of eight ) ' miles an _Jawr .

P . Roberts . " That is , that my signature shall be required to each order . This direction is plain . Tor instance , Bay that Edward Hohson , of Ashton , has £ 10 to transmit ; he is to transmit the same to Mr . O'Connor , by Hank letter or Post-onice order , made payable to W , P . Roberts That order I cau sign when I go to London , or when a parcel of them arc scut to me . The two only things ! required to secure the triumph of Labour's battle arc , union among the working classes , and undeviating

      honesty and punctuality ou the part of those who have the management of their affairs . I therefore adopt this plan , that we may have- upon each other as many salutary checks as possihle . This is advisable , as much for our own mutual satisfaction , ns for the satisfaction of the subscribers . I therefore request that these plain and simple instructions may be punctually attended to in all cases . To save additional postage , each letter containing a money order , may also eontain a list of the respective sums , and all other information neces . sary for the general secretary , Mr . "Wheeler , to have ; which letter Mr , O'Connor will duly forward to him _. This done , there can be no puzzle about the accounts . W . P . Robems , Treasurer .

      AH orders should bo made payable at 180 , Strand , London . — "W . P . R . rThe above mode has been adopted at my suggestion , in consequence of the endless trouble I havo had , owing to some parties sending me Post-office orders payable to my order ; and sonic to Mr .

There is a difficulty at the branch Post-ofliecs ahout getting monies , when the orders are not _sigued by tlie persons to whom they are made payable . PEAIIOOS O'COKNOR . _l

      THE DUNFERMLINE " RIOTS . " CALL FOR "MORE MILITARY . " TO " KEEP _DOWS "

      A HUNGRY PEOPLE . Is another portion of this sheet will be found an account of somo " riotous proceedings , " as they are termed , that have occurred in Dunfermline and its neighbourhood . That account we Lave given just as it appeared in the Times ; but wo are convinced , not only from the manifest ill-will and ferocity of tho writer towards the " rioters , " but from what we know of the general character of tho population whom he so ruthlessly and shamelessly represents as a band of murdering conspirators and cold-blooded assassins , that he ha 3 net correctly set forth TIIE

      CAUSE of the disturbances , or explained the reason "why the inhabitants of a town known over all Scotland for its general intelligence , and for its abhorrence of outrage and tumult , have appeared as the destroyers of property , and the assailers of life . The whole of this writer ' s communications show Mm disposed to heighten and colour the conduct of the " vifj * -re" "when once in action ; but he dismisses very summarily indeed TIIE CAUSE that has _converged one of thc most enduring and peaceably-disposed populations into a " bloodthirsty mob of ruffians . " "Whatever that CAUSE may have been , it is one that ought to have been prominently set forth ; for it must have been one of most uxe . ydejuble tyrassy , to have operated

      that entire _caanoe in the character of the people that thc account narrates . So convinced arc we , that this writer has not acted fairly by thc people of Dunfermline , and that he has . ' _cjther allowed liis fears to run away with his senses ami Ms veracity , or that he knowingly lends himself to the basest of purposesthat we publicly call on some sober truthful democrat , who has . the means of _waging himself acquainted with all the facts of thc case , to give 113 a lull and true version of those facts , that the people of Dun teviuiitto raay stand before the world in an unprejudiced light : justified , as far ns they can be , in thc acts they have engaged- , in ; ov guilty , as tlicy may bc , of all that this ferocious assailant lays at their door .

      It has long been dinned into onr ears that the working people of Scotland were far more intelligent than the working people of England ; that in the "laud o ' calccs" _"etntaKuci" was far move "cultivated , " far more acute , than in England , where stupidity and stubbornness abound . Have we not had the changes rung on thc terms "heddication , " " schoolmaster abroad , " and " spread of knowledge , " as applied to the Scotch people ? and , without admitting the truth ofthe assertion aa far as relates to a knowledge of rights or of duties , or of the manual _opci-ationsiiiwhichthcrcspectivewovkcYs ave engaged , we arc free to admit its truth , as far as a mere knowledge books is concerned . The opportunities which

      the system of teaching in Scotland confer on the people , over the working people of England , —who arc left to obtain a school education as they can , —do give thc former a decided advantage in book-know ledge : and therefore , as far as this is concerned , and as far as general acutcucss is involved in such advantage , the Scotch working people Ann more " intelligent" than their brethren in England . This we most freely admit ; nnd accompany tho admission with the assertion , that of all the inhabitants in thc several districts of Scotland , none ranked as high in thc scale of "intelh ' gence" as thc inhabitants ofthe very district which is now repiicscutcd as being peopled by a horde of deliberate murderers and conpir ' mg assassins 1

      Then , again , we happen to know that of all the districts in Scotland , not one has shewn itself to be so thoroughly indoctrinated with the " wholc-hogism " of " moral force" as this same Dunfermline . In 1 S 39-10 , when the questions of " physical force" and " moral force" were pitted against each other , Dunfermline almost universally took its stand with the coucoctors and passers of the Calton-hill resolutions . It was with the people of _BunSermVmc a proof of "intelligence" to employ only "moral" means , ns they termed certain modes of agitation , to bring about tho changes and reforms in Government by them held necessary fov general good . They could not then contemplate tho possibility of any circumstances arising that would justify a resort to "

      violence" or " force . " Then what is it , that has wrought such a change in thc character and conduct of the people of Dunfermline , as the writer in thc Times sets forth . ? It cau have been r . o ordinary cause . It must have been something most revolting indeed : some attempt on tho part oi thc obnoxious employers to reduce tho workman ' s poor " SHARE ; " or some opnvessivc aad _tyvawvical conditions , which the most " philosophical" of human nature could not endure . Two _thousand persons do not generally congregate together , aud destroy property for twtlung . There is generally an operating CAUSE . In this instanco we are persuaded there must have been an cxtraordiaavly _pasvcriwl one ; and we shall bo glad to hear from some of the workers of Dunfermline what it was .

      It is truo that tho correspondent of tho Times gives us an inkling of that CAUSE . He says , "it _appeai-s to be an alleged breach of faith of the Messrs . Alkxaxder , with the other manufacturers , in hot AonEmxG to tiie table op _phices agreed on by the manufacturers in 1 S 43 or _ISti . " Tke winter adds , as a justification for tho Messrs ; _Alexander that " it is reported that they never signed that agreement ; " but _Iiodoes not deny that there has been an attempt to depart from the list . It may be ; indeed it is highly probable , that the list-prices themselves are as low as is at all compatible with the very coarsest of food and the meanest _existence . Wo

      deduce this probability from what wc know of the condition of the Scottish working people g » ncrally . Low as is the condition ofthe English worker , it is hardly in any one occupation so degraded and so debased as is tho condition of the Scotch producer . Of this we intend to furnish indubita ble proof , before we have done . Of all the _desuviptions of " knowledge " that can be " spread , " none is calculated to be of more service to the working people of the three kingdoms than a knowledge of their relative _auditions : and , please God , it shall not bc our fault if knowledge of that character docs not " march , " - To enable the present generation to n . _'iderstaiHl something cf the condition of tho _Scotch _Jabftirers ,

      The Dunfermline " Riots." Call For "More...

      we shall transcribe into this article a paper written by William Cobbett , alter he had himself seen what he so forcibly and graphically narrates . This description will impart a notion of the degree of comfort which untiring industry purchases for the labouring producers of Scotland ; and will also impart some idea of the dreadful consequences entailed on the toilers , by a departure from such a " table of prices " as that by which the Scotch labourers are paid . We fancy that when tho reader has got to the _epid of the "Addkess to the . _Ekc-lisii _CuomicKs , " which wc are about to quote , he will wonder , —not that a riot should just now have occurred at Dunfermline , — -but that the land has not been one entire scene of

      commotion and burnings , sooner than that thc workers should have submitted to such grinding tyranny as they have to endure . Here is the description we speak of : read it every line ; and let the truths cmbodied in it sink deep into the soul . Here is the condition of the Scotch producers , painted by a master-hand : —

      cobbetx ' s advice to _iuE _onorsxicKs . Of Kent , Sussex , Surrey , Hampshire , Wiltshire , Dorsetshire , Fed-shire , Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex , and of all the other counties in the south of England , Edinburgh , Oct . 14 th , 1832 . Mr FniEXDS , —This is the finest cit y that I ever saw in my life , though it is about fivo hundred miles to the north of the southern part of Dorsetshire ; but neither the beauty of this city nor its distance from your and my homo has made mo forget you , and particularly poor Cook and Farmer Boycs , and the men that were transported in 1 S 30 . I havo somo advice to offer you , the objoet of which is to induce you resolutely to maintain tho rights which , agreeably to the laws of our country , we all inherit

      irom our forefathers . Amongst these rights aro the right to live in the country of our birth ; the right to have a living out of tho land of our birth in exchange for our labour duly and honestly performed ; thc right , in case we fall into distress , to havo our wants sufficiently relieved out of the produce of thc land , whether that distress arise from sickness , from decrepitude , from old ago , or from the inability to find employment ; because there are laws , and those laws are just , to punish us if we bo idle or dissolute . lou know that many gentlemen in England have Scotch bailiifs ; and that these Scotch bailiffs , particularly Callendar , the bailiff of SirThos , Baring , in Hampshire , nnd another one or two whose names I have now forgotten , wero principal witnesses against the men that were brought to trial for breaking thrashing-machines , and other acts of that sort

      in 1830 . You know that these bailiffs are always telling you how good and obedient the labourers are in Scotland , and how WELL OFF they are ; and yet they tell you that there arc no Poor Laws in Scotland . All this appears very wonderful to you . The Government and the parsons tell you the same thing ; and they tell you , that if you were as wcll-behavod as the Scotch , and as quiet , you would be as well off as they arc . They say , that it is your ignorance that makes you not like to live upon potatoes , while those who live upon the tithes and the taxes have the meat and . thc bread . They tell you that you would be better off if you were but as sensible and would but bcas quiet as tho Scotch labourers . Now then , I will tell you how well off the Scotch labourers are ; and then you will judge whether you have been wise or foolish , in what you have beeu lawfully doing with a view of making your living a little better than it

      was . This city is fifty-six miles from thc river Tweed , which separates Jingland from Scotland . I have come through the country in a post-chaise , stopped one night upon tho road , and have made every inquiry , in order that I might bc able to ascertain the exact state of the labourers on the land . With the exception of about seven miles , the land is the finest that I ever saw iu my life , though I have seen every fine vale in every county in England ; and iu the United States of * America I never saw any land a tenth part so good . You will know what the laud is when I tell you that it is by no means uncommon for it to produce seven English quarters of wheat upon one English acre , and forty tons of turnips upon

      one English acre ; and that there arc , almost in every half mile , from fifty to a hundred acres of turnips in one piece , sometimes white turnips and sometimes Swedes ; all in rows as straight as a line , and without a weed even to be seen in any of these beautiful fields . 01 how you will wish to be hero ! " Lord , " you will say to yourselves , " what pretty villages there must be there , ' what nice churches and churchyards ; 0 i and what preciously nice alehouses ! Come , Jack , let us set off to Scotland ! What nice gardens shall we havo to our cottages there ! What beautiful flowers our wives will have climbing up about the windows , and on both sides of thc path leading Irom tho wicket up to the door ! And what prancing and

      barking pigs we shall have , running out upon the common , and what a flock of geese grazing upon the green 1 " Stop 1 stop ! I havo not como to listen to you , but to make you listen to mo . Let mc tell you , then , that there is neither village , nor church , nor alehouse , nor garden , nor cottage , nor flowers , nor pig , nor goose , nor common , nor green ; but the thing is thus : 1 . The farms of a whole comity arc , generally speaking , the property of one lord ; 2 . They arc so large , that the corn-stacks frequently amount to more than a hundred upon one farm , each stack having in it , on an average , from liftccn to twenty

      luiglish quarters of corn ; 3 .. The fanner s house is a house big enough and fine enough for a gentleman to live in j the farm-yard is a square , with buildings on one side of it for horses , cattle , aud implements ; the stack-yard is on one side of this , the stacks all in rows , and thc place as big as a little town . 4 . On the side of the farm-yard next to the stack-yard there is a place to thrash the corn in ; and there is , close by this , always a thrashingmachine , sometimes worked by horses , sometimes by water , sometimes by wind , and sometimes by steam , _el & rc being no such thing as a barn or a flail in the whole country .

      "Well , " say you , " but out of such a quantity of corn and of beef and of mutton , thero must some como to the shave of the chopsticks , to be suro 1 " Don ' t be too sure yet : but hold your tongue , and hear my story . Tho single labourers are kept in this manner : ahout four of them arc put into a shed , quite away from tho farm-house and out of thu farm-yard ; which shed Dr . Jamicson , in his dictionary , calls a " _bootliic , " a place , says he , where labouring servants aro lodged . A boothic means a little- booth ; and here these men live and sleep , having a certain allowance of oat , barley , and pea meal , upon which they live , mixing it with water , or with milk when they arc allowed the use of a cow , which they have to milk themselves . They are

      allowed sonic little matter of money besides to buy clothes with ; but never dream-of being allowed to set their foot with in thc walls of the farm-house . They hire for tho year , under very severe punishment in case of misbehaviour or quitting service ; and cannot have fresh service , withouta character from the last master , and also a character from tho minister of the parish ! Pretty well , that , for a knifc-and-fovk chopstiek of Sussex , who has been used to sit round the lire with the master and mistress , and to pull about and tickle the laughing maids ! Pretty well , that ! But it is thc life of the married labourer that will delight you . Upon a steam-engine farm there ave , perhaps , eight or ten of these . There is , at a considerable distance from the farm-yard , a sort oi

      barrack erected for these to live in . It is a lon » shed , stone walls , and pantile roof , and divided iuto a certain number of 6 oot / u _' cs , each having a door and one little window , all thc doors being on one side of the shed , and there being no backdoors ; and as to a privy , no such thing , i ' or them , appears over to be thought of . Tho ground in front of the shed , is wide or narrow according to circumstances , but quite smooth ; merely a place to walk upon . Each distinct boothie is " about seventeen feet one way and fifteen fcet the other way , as nearly as my eye could determine . There is no ceiling , and no floor but thc earth . In this place a man and his wife and family have to live . When they go into it there is

      nothing but tho four bare walls , und thc tiles over their hoads , and a siuali five-place . To make the most of the room , they , at their own cost , erect berths : like those in a barrack-room , which thoy get up into when they go to bed ; and here they are , the man , his wife , and a parcel of children , squeezed up in this miserable hole , with their meal and their washing tackle , and all their other things ; and yet it is quite surprising to behold how decant the women endeavour to keop tho place . These women ( for 1 found all the mon out at work ) appeared to be most indu strious creatures , to be extremely obliging , and of good disposition ; and the shame is that they are permitted to enjoy so small a portion of thc fruit of all their labours , of all their caves .

      But if their dwelling-olaco is bad , their mod S _" worse , being fed upon exactly that which we feed hogs and horses upon . The married man receives- in money about four pounds for thc whole year ; and he lias besides sixty bushels of oats , thirty bushels of barley , twelve bushels of peas , aud three bushels of potatoes , with ground allowed him to plant the potatoes . The master givos him the keep of a cow for the year round ; but he must find the cow himself ; he pays for his own fuel ; he must find a woman to reap for twenty whole dirts in the harvest , as payment for the rent of his boothie ; ho has no wheat ; the meal altogether amounts to about six pounds for every day in the year ; the oatmeal is eaten in porridge _; the barley-meal and pea-meal aro mixed together , and baked into a sort of cakes upon au iron plate put over the fire ; they sometimes get a pig and few ! it upon thc potatoes .

      Thus they never have one bit of wheaten bread or of' v . _'hcatch _iioiir _, nor of beef uor mutton ; though the land is covered with wheat and with cattle . Thc hiring is for a year , beginning on tiie 2 'jth of

      The Dunfermline " Riots." Call For "More...

      May , and not at Michaelmas ; the farmer takes the man just at the season to get the sweat out of him ; and if he die , he dies when the main worlds done . The labourer is wholly at the mercy of the master , who , if he will not keep him beyond the year , can totally ruin him , by refusing him a character . The cow is a thing more in name tlian reality ; she may be about to calve when the 20 th of May comes ; thc wife mav bo in a situation to make removal perilous to her life . This family has NO HOME ; and no home can any man bc said to have who can thus bo dislodged every year of his life at the will of a master . It very frequently happens that thc poor creatures are compelled to sell their cow for next to nothing ; and , indeed , the necessity of character from the last emnlover makes the man a real slave , worso oft than the negro by many degrees ; for here there is neither _lawto insure him relief , nor motive in the master to to attend his health or to preserve his life .

      , _, There , chopsticks of Sussex , you can now see what English scoundrels , calling themselves gentlemen , " get Scotch bailiffs for . These bailifis are generally the sons of some of these farmers recommended to the grinding ruffians ot England by the grinding ruffians in Scotland . Six days , from daylight to dark , these good and laborious and patient ami kind people labour . On an average I icy have six English miles to go to any church . _IIow » wo twelve miles to walk on thc Sunday ; and -he consequence is , that they very seldom go . But , " an ™ , what do they do with all the wheat , and all c beef , and all the mutton ; and what becomes of the money that tlicy arc sold for ? Why the ca tie and sheep walk into England upon their leg * ; _flwvtaat is nut into ships , to bc sent to London or oscy , heic , and as to the money that these are sold fot the farmer is allowed to have a- little ot it , Jut _almost rim whnln nf it is sent away to tho landlord , to tie

      gambled or otherwise squandered awa- m _^ Jf at Paris , or at Rome . 'Hie rent oi the Ian l is enormous : four , five , six , or seven pounds foi an _English acre : the fanner is not allowed to get lands goes into tho pockets ei the lords ; the : 1 _aboreif are their slaves , and the fanner , their slave-drivers . The farm-yards are , in fact , factories for making corn and meat , carried on principally by the means of horses and machinery , fbcre arc no people ; and these men seem to think that people are unnecessary to a state . I came over a tract ot countrv a great deal bigger than the county of Suffolk " , with only three towns in it , and a couple ot villages , while the county of Suffolk has twenty-nine market-towns and 491 villages . Yet our precious Government seem to wish to reduce England to the state of Scotland ; and _j-ou aro reproached and abused , and called ignorant , because you will not reside iu a " boothie , " and _livo upon the food which

      we give io horses and to hogs ! Take one more fact , at which'you will not wonder ; that , though Northumberland is but a poor country compared with this that I have hcen describing , the poor Scotch labourers get away into England whenever they can . There is a great and fine town , called Newcastle-upon-Tyne , from which and its neighbourhood the coals go into our country , ihe poor Scotchmen flee from these fine and rich lands to beg their bread there ; and there they are put into caravans and brought back to Scotland by force , as thc Irish are sent from London , from Manchester , from Birmingham , and the other great towns m the South . Is not this tho greatest shame that ever was witnessed under the sun ? And shall not we be resolved to prevent our country from being reduced to a similar state ; shall not we venture , if necessary ,

      our limbs and our lives , rather than not endeavour to cause , by all legal means , a change in the condition of the labourers of these two ill-treated countries ? What ! shall any lord tell mc , or tell any one of you , that you have not a right to be in England as well as he has ? Will he tell you that he has a right to lav all his lands waste , or lay them into sheep-walks , and drive the people from them ? A stupid landowner might say so , and might attempt to do it ; but detestable must be the Government that would suffer him , even to begin , in thc work ot ' living effect to h _' i 3 wish . God did not make the land for the few , but for tho many . Civil society invented property ; but gave it not that absolute character which would enable a few owners to extirpate the people , as tlicy appear to be endeavouring to do in Scotland .

      I remain , your faithful friend , W . w . Cobcett . Now , then , what does the reader think of that ? That is the sort of "knowledge" to beget a strong detei'iwination to use nothing kit " moral" force » That is thc sort of " knowledge" to cause its possessors to eschew all idea of "forcible resistance ;" and induce a determination to remain " quiet and orderly" until they can " morally" persuade the Government to secure for them a bettor " SHARE " than a "boothie" and " barley-bread ' . " O yes ; the people that are made to know these things—made to endure thc oppression—will never dream of " physical" resistance ; but they will endure on , until their feeblo complaints have worked that change in the hearts ofthe " rich oppressor" which even the " grace of God" cannot effect !

      But wc have not yet had thc ivhoh of the picture . There are one or two features in it wanting , but which can be supplied . It happens that Mr . Conbett was in this very town of Dunfermline ; and in a " Second Address to the _CnorsiicKS , " he details what he there saw . Here follows that detail : attend to it ; and then wonder , —not that the people of Dunfermline arc " rioting" just now , —but that there has been a town or a singlo habitation left standing within a thousand miles of the spot , where such a state of things exist as is therein set forth . Scad ; mask ; LEARN ; and inwardly digest : —

      Jlr Fhiexds _, —In my formor address I described to you how the married labourers of Scotland were treated , in what places they lived , and what they Jived upon : I am now going to describe to you how the single men live ; 1 menu tho farming men , who are what the law calls servants in husbandry . I mentioned to you hefore , that those men avo lodged , a parcel of them together , in a sort of shed , and that they are nevor suffered to eat or drink , or even set their foot in the fivrm-houso any moro than the o . veu or the pigs arc ; hut I had not then examined the matter with my own eyes and ears , which I bow have done ; and I shall therefore now giveycu an account of tlie whole tiling , and shall give you my advice how to act so ns to prevent yourselves or your children from evor being brought into the same state .

      On Tuesday hist , the lGth of this month , I went to tho farm of a fanner Keid , near the town of Dunfermline . The land is as fine as man ever set his eyes on , having on it some of the finest turnips that you ever saw ; and there being in the stack-yard about throe-score stacks , perhaps , each containing from liftecn to twenty quarters of com ; tine oxen and hogs in the yard , aud fine cows and sheep in the pastures , I told you hefore , that thc single men lived in a sort of shed , which is here called a "boothie ; " aud the farmer upon this farm living near a town , and being said to use his people rather better than the common ruu , I wished to seo with my owu eyes the " boothie" upon this farm and the men in it .

      The custom here is for men to plough with a pair of horses ; to go out nt daylight ; come in at twelve o ' clock , and stay in till two ; then go out again and plough till night ; and I have seen many of them at plough till sunset . Coke , of Norfolk , brought this practice from Scotland to Norfolk ; nnd it Iips spread over a good part of England , Itis a very bad praetieo , though I adopted it for somo time , and , I found it no advantage to me , while it was a great slavery both to tho horses and the men .

      I went to the " boothio" between twelve and one o ' clock , in order that I might find the men at home , and seo what they had for their dinner . I found the " boothie" to be a _-thed , with a lire-place in it to burn coals in , with one door-way , and one little window . The floor -was thc ground . Thero wero threo wooden bedsteads , nailed together like the berths in a _barnack-room , with boards fur the bottom of them . Thc bedding seemed to be very coarso sheeting with coarso woollen things at the top " ; and all seemed to he such as similar things must b « _whwo thero is nobody but men to look utter them . There wero

      six men , nil at home ; one sitting upon a stool , four upon the sides of the berths , and one standing talking to mu . Though it wis Monday , their be , _ird 3 , especiall y of two of them , appeared to be some days old . There were ten or twelve bushels of coals l ying in a henp in one corner of the place , which was , ns nearly as I could guess , about _sixteun or eighteen feet square . Thero was no hackdoor to the plsice , and no privy . There wore some loose potatoes lying under one of the berths , Now , for tho wages of these mon . In tho first _plaea the average wages of _tluse single farming man are about ten pounds a your , or not _quite'fouv shillings a weok . Then they . are fouud provisions in the following nwniior : oach has allowed liim two pecks of coarse oatmoal a week and three "euoppins" of milk a day ; nnd ' a " choppm" is I believe , equal to an English quart . Thoy have to usj this meal , which weighs about seventeen pounds , cither by mixing it with cold water or with hot ; thev put somo

      ot it into a bowl , pour some boiling water upon it , thou stir it about and eat it ; and tlicy call this _ISuose and you will be sure to remember that name . _IVhcn ' thev use milk with the meal , they use it in the same way tint they do the water . I saw some of thc h . mi ; ' ready to eat ; nnd this is by no means bad stuff , only there ought to be _half-a-pomid of good meat to eat _alon-with it . The Americans make " brosu" of tho corn-moid hut then , thoy make their brose with milk instead of water and they send it down _tlu-ir throats in company with buttered beef-steaks . And if thero was some bacon along with the broso , I should think the broso very proper ; because , in this country , oats are more easily grown in some parts than the wheat is . These- men were' not troubled with cooking utensils . They had a _lar"c iron saucepan and live or six bro ' _se-howls ; and are " never troubled with those cluttering things , knives , forks , plates , viuegav-criidts , salt-cellars , _pepptr-boses , mustard-pots ' , tablecloths , ov tables .

      Now , I shall not attempt any general description ot this treatment of those who make all the crops to conic ; but I advise you to look well at it ; and I recommend to you to do everything within your power that it is lav . tiu i ' or you to do , in order to show your hatred ot , ana to cause to suffer , any one that shall attempt _»» » _id « _M _Jou to this state .

The Scotch landowners , who suck up and . carry away almost the whole produce of tho earth ha * _otM the English landowners how tlicy manage the nutter here . The English fellows find that they can get nobody in England to treat men in such a way , and , thererore , they bring them up from Scotland , and they pieU out the hardest and most cruel fellows that they can find in

      Scotland ; so that we have not , by any means , a fair specimen even of Scotch bailiffs ; because nineteen-twentieths of them would not do tho savage things which the Eng « U tyrants want them to do . Well enough may yon complain of Scotch bailiffs ; and , wherever you find oue , you always find the employer to be a grinding , hard-hearted man , am \ I advise you to have your eye upon every roan who has a Scotch bailiff ; for , you may be very sure , that h _« intention is to bring you down to the shed and to the brose ; to prevent you from over _seeing knife or fork , or bread again , and to have you considered as being nothing better

      than the cattle . „ ., „ ,,. , I am , your faithful friend , WW . COBDBTT , It may be objected , that this description docs not apply to the present case ; that it relates to the agricultural labourers—those who work for others on the land ; while the " rioters" aro manufacturing operatives . True , this is so : but the condition of thc working manufacturers is , generally , as bad ss the condition ofthe inmates ofthe "boothies" and the livers on the "brose . " The wages they receive arc miserably low , such as will purchase no hbjkr degree of comfort than the agricultural labourers " enjoy" (?) . Dunfermline is mainly engaged iu the manufactory of table-cloths and table-covers ; and the houses of the workers are of a small and mean

      character . The BROSE-bowl is one ot the " utensils" ofthe dwelling ; and in the town are sold lumps of sucty-fat _, made up into small baUs , i «/«;) VH . ' _$ to make broth . ' Apan-ful of vegetables and water , id a few of these " balls " , ( sold at tbe rate of three- ? . _, penny , wel believe ) , without any other meat , form a MESS OF BROTH— which , like a red herring in Ireland , is considered a luxury ! And when an attempt is made to filch from even this small "SHARE , " by parlies who have _"ESTATE , " the writer in the Times is staggered at _resistuwe manifesting itself .

      And what is his remedy ? Hear it , yc " moral force" advocates . Hear it , ye who have persuaded yourselves that no circumstances can justify a resort to " violence ; " hear of thc power which the writer in the Times proposes , to make tho starving workers of Dunfermline put up with the REDUCTIONS in their miserable wages attempted by the owner oi " BalmuU House . " Hear of the force he would employ , to extract the " balls of fat" from out of the horrible " MESS of broth" the inadequate earnings of the Dunfermline weavers will only how procure : Hear of all this ; and then go and exhort to submission and quiet endurance I It is likely that your preachings will be called for !

      On Monday tho justices of the Dunfermline district met in the town-house , nnd resolved to memorialist * government on the necessity of making Dunfermline a PERMANENT MILITARY STATION , and Itavimj barracks built for the accommodation ofthe mm . It is impossible to come to any other conclusion than that there ia in the town of Dunfermline a regular ban . d of conspirators , organised imd disciplined with watchwords and signals , bound together under obligations of secrecy , ami with hearts to conceive and heads to execute AXl " CHIMES , however atrocious . Such a fearful state of things must be met by tho authorities with thc utmost vigilance ; and Dunfermline requires the constaut 1 'ltOTEOTIOXo / ttem « _itiir » .

      There are other circumstances which will in future make this protection still more indispensably _nercssitry than it is at present .
