GOUT ! ( iOUT !! GOUT !!! Tke A _' _alu- _ p _ v _?« Patented Medicine for Gout , __* atrom '„ d by the Faculty , Nobility , and Gentry , __« . THE Discoverer of this Invaluable Specific has , after great study and research , proved , by facts , that this G . _aut _Hiriure is tho only efficient remedy yet discovered fur that excruciating disorder—the expansive pills and mixtures , daily puffed off , having proved a complete failure . This medicine claims a two fold _aa-eriority over every othe-yet produced for the public good ; a certainty of cure , and are-establishment of health , in a few days at a trifling expense . No particular restrictions a . _* e necessary , the principal action ofthe medicine being confined to the Nerves , Muscles , and Tendons , and promoting a free circulation ofthe bhiod ; and it must be consolatory to those afflicted with Gnut , to be assured thatit possessa _ the medical powers of preventing the disease flying to tile stomach , brain , or any vital part , and also prevents fits _. It is thus recommended to the afflicted with a confidence ariadng from experience , as one of thc most valuable results of the _improveal state of Medical Science , and the only certain and safe remedy yet discovered for this painful disorder .

The extraordinary properties ofthis medicine are thus described by an eniineKt physician , who says , " After particular _observation ofthe action , of Parr ' s Pills I am de-„ _ruiined in my opinion , that the following are their true properties : — "Firstly , —They increasethe strength , _whilstmostother medicines have a weakening effect upon the _system . Let any one take from three to four or six pills every _twentyfaiur hours , and , instead of having weakened , they will be found to have revived the animal spirits , and to have imparted a lasting _strength to the boily . " _Secondly , —In their operation they go- direct tothe _disease . After you h . ve taken six or twelve pi lls _ _oai will experience tlieir effect ; the disease upon you will become _> s and less by every do _!* e you tnfee , aud if you will _persevwre in regularly t iking from three to six pills every day , your disease will be entirely removed from the system .

" Sib , —Twelve years ago I became afflicted with Rheumatic Gout .

DUMFRIES . IS 80 I . ENCE OS TUE SttOFOCMCY . Really the Impudence of Ui _ _. sycophants of the till foe . gins to exceed nil decent bounds . The presumption of the Ram of Derby waB merely a specimen Of Ibe tUlimus towards tliose who feed tbem of tho most _despicabloclass that ever was in any ag . or country hoisted into a position for which thej were utterly unfit , both morally and . very other way , through the cowardice of one aristocratic faction , the greed of another , and tho apathy and neglect of iaterestof those who pay for all .
If anything will force ihe masses of Britain to malic a bold push for their i _ights _. this Mussed ret-ult of tbe Reform Bill and the league organization , will do it ; anil if anything will bring about a union between tlie aristocracy and the peoplo ( If In no other way tbe incubus can be got rid of , which seeks to oppress both ) , this mug ' , force tbem to it . Every day brings additional proof ef ttiewlsdoin _ tha . __ _l . j through which the working classes bdd aloof from the Anti-Corn Law-League—a body , that with a quasi-popular ory , can bo regarded in no other light than as _organised to attempt tha transfer of the power to tyrannise and plunder from the territorial to tbe monled aristocracy , great and little .
After three years of agitation , a bill has been procured , authorising the formation of a railway in this district . The measure was popular with all classes , and mainly owing to popular support , as shown In public meetings and numerously _signed petitions , the legislature ratified the project , The stags , thereupon , determined to signalize their triumph by a " Demonstration j" and to arrange its details , they called a __* nbh _. meeting of the "Community . " What they understood by the latter term , may be gathered from the fact , thut tho circulars calling this meeting were addressed exclusively lo the Parliamentary electors . As the railway , its commencement , ond the demonstration , had formed matter of town gossip for a good while , however , at the hour of meeting
an immense muster of the working classes repaired to the _rendesvaus ; but a eouple of ugly " fettered braw brass collared" spaniels , posted at tbe door , unceremoniously turned _erary gentleman in fustian to the right about . An adjournment Saving been made to a larger place , tbe _workies forced themselves in , and listened to the spouting of two or three _half-intoxfcatednhojlfte-p _^ f , without deigning to take any part in the proceedings , A committee was then appointed to arrange details , which did not include one working man . And this committee , » o constituted , bad tbe modest assurance to apply to'the trades for tbeir assistance in getting up a process ' -on . On the Sata * -day before the occasion , however , the smiths issued a spirited address , intimating their refusal to take any part in the affair _.
In the beginning of tbe following- week , the men of the other leading trades , such as shoemaker ? , _carptnteu _" , and 8 tQ . kiitaaTiak-. r 5 , followed the example ; and tbe consnqueuce was , that tbe display , a . far as the workingclasses were concerned , if not altogether , was a decided failure ; although the local newspaper , are doing their best to •• writeup " the thing asthei : _> atestg 4 th . ringof its kind " in the memory of the oldest inhabitant . " With the exception of two flags , which by somo means or Other had got int . the hands of the hucksters , and which wero followed by a seore of small boys , representing one ot the numerous trades in town , the colours of the Freemasons , and one or two of tbe _rummest of unions jacks ,
from the coal . barge in tlie liver . The procession was utterly bare of colours . Indeed , but forthe presence of sobs * 800 navvies , paid for their attendance- at the rate of a- _shiUiug _tt-diay ami drink , an . the masonic lodges , _thesSair , in point of numbers , would have been as contemptible . Thi * only trado that did come out was the printers , and a poor show they made . Less than a score of boys and _half-a-alozen _knob-sticks , endeavoured to obtain ca false pretences the regalia of the _"B _' iinburgli typos , but did _ t get it ; : and so had to process in their own _toggery , and answer as they best conld tho iii . uiry of many a waggish urchin , when their clothes Were coming from Edinburgh . This slight of tbe producers was intentional , there is no doubt .
_When-it was proposed by some ofthe committee toadd a few names from the . tradesmen _, ( although , owing to the _unbusinesslike manner in which the meeting was managed , tho committee had obtained no power to do so ) , it W 83 >? efused with assumed contempt . One of the gentlemen- a fellow who no . long ago changed his profession from that of a botching cobbler to a butcher of _other men a- bullocks , and * who lately executed a very successful bankruptcy , deelared be would not sit in committee with ' « the rubbish ; " and ' - another thought _tha-y might get on very well without " the tail .

GARPENTBHS' AND JOINERS' SIIORT TI _ S MOVEMENT . TO TEE EDITOB OF TUE _NOETEEBN STAB , Sib . _—Through the medium of " Labour's only Advooate , " permit tiie to call the attention of your _readcts to the movement now in progress amen-, ' the carpenters anil joiners of London . Tliey have been in the habit of working sixty hours per week , tbey now desire to hav . those reduced to titty-eight and one half ; i , e . to leav . off on Saturdays at four o ' clock , in the place of half . past five . To accomplish this they have resovted to agitation , based on the _principles of _conciliation ; . wbich has been attended with succe _.-s , as thirty of the most influential builders hare given th- _ privilege : bat ns many more must give it ere the _privilege can become general and as they _se . m to hang back , it is absolutely _necesrary that the journeymen carpenters should unite , and persevere
earnestly ia their _ajitatisn , if they wish to preserve what has been conceded , and gain what _is-still wanting . My object in writing this , is to call _theit attention totb & importance of the movement in reducing the hours of labour . The privilege , it' _adopted tlirouglioat London , will give employment _tOi 3 . > 9 men mere than , the pr „ e _ t system does ; and carried into operation ( supposing , it did not exist in some towns , ) throughout England and Wales , S , _ 90 more cav _ enters would he required , l . am aware many ore careless about the movement . Carpenters of London are usually not _iiiiliiied to bestir themselves by agitation , to better their condition : on _a _> _purtunlty now occurs to _redetm tha *; failing . If they will _butrtfiect on the _-positiou tbey hold in society , they must see , that with the progress machinery is hourly
making , the hours of labour ougit to be reduced , it they with to maintain their _present position , andimprove _tha-ir future condition . They most also see that long hours of labour , by constant physical exertion of the body , goon wear it out . __ e human frame is like a pieco of machinery , which If worked ten hours per day , may last for fifteen years ; b _ t if worked fi & eeu per day , will only last ten years . Lang hours take away the time that ought to be devoted to mental improvement , and thus keep the mind iu _ignorasce . Long hours cause a surplus oflabour , and then workmen compete for it , " and W 3 B < - fall . " If five men work twelve
hours per day instoad of ten ; forcvery week they work at that rate , they deprive one man of six days work . In sbort , long hours weaken thc constitution ot man , and darken his mind . They make him dwarfish in stature , thin and sickly in appearance , and an ignoramus in intellect . He is middle aged at tbirly-five , and old at forty-five . Consider these ihings ! then , carpenters of _Londora—shaka hai . is , society and _atm-society men ! and then persevere in your peaceful agitation , and rest assured , the conciliating wishes—the reasonable request oi 15 , 000 men will not be denied .

_EMPhOTMBNT OF IHE 1 . OR ON IHE L _ SD . —A public meeting has been held at tho Town Hall , Manchester , "To consider the propriety of employing the able-bodied poor in the cukirntion of land , and for devising the best means of doing this effectually , so as to ease the burthen of tho poor-rate payer . .. and provide an honest , healthy , and profitable employment to the able-bodied poor , aud thus achieve a permauent natural good . " Tlie Rev . J . Scholield presided , and in the course of his address , showed that an acreot land , under potatoes , would be _flllffirant to maintain one man for ., 625 days , or a little more than _lSJtmen tor one yeav ; that the produce of nn acre of wheat would sustain one man fov 916 da > _s or 2 __ _ien for nearly ayear ; and the produce _ofone fertile , acre in pasture , _c-msumed by cattle and sheep " would sustain one man 72 days , or something less than one-filth of a man lor a year ; so that it appeared that the produc ? of five acres of fertile grass
hind wonld be required to _. uatain one man living entirely on butcher ' s meat for one yearj ; under wheat it would maintain _twolve , and under potatoes 77 _ . These fi . urea he brought _fotward in order to prove the necessity and tho utility of converting _paalure into arable land . In Guernsey and Jersey , he said , one square mile of land supported 1 , 000 persons , and theft , beggary , and pauperism were scarcely known . Resolutions wero passed , which , amongst other _tbinj-8 , expressed tne opinion of the meeting that the land held by the church , and that which it was stated had been wrested from the people , called enclosure lands , ought to be given up to the people for their maintenance . A committee was then appointed to carry out the object of the meeting . The citizens of Cork manufacture writing _piipers _, but until the articles make an excursion to London and receive the Loudon mark , they decline to use them .

TO tllE _VBXQGIim OF Q & EAT URIIAIK . Hereditary bondsmen , know ye not—Who would be free men himself must strike the blow . Fbi _. _NDB iHD BnOTHERS , — ' If ever there was a time for _ long pull , a strong pull , and a pull altogether for freedom , that time 18 tllg present , when the factions are paralysed by the _appalline state of misery to , which , their selfish policy and glaring misrule has reduced the / country ; and when , in addition to the urgent necessity for a thorough change In the arrangements which so banefulJy affect the labouring portion of the community , it is every day becoming more and more apparent—if possible- _^ -that those who have had the opportunity , both in and out of * ' the house , *" will do nothing for _the-ga neralgood , but , by their onesided system of legislation _. havo only studied _theinterests of the privileged and monied classes , and Instead of even
attempting to redress our manifold grievances , have wickedly and foolishly cramped the energies , and squan _dered tho resources of the country and , therefore , seeing that there is no hope of amendment in the fatnre , unless we do something for ourselves , at this critical time , I implore you , my brethren , to unite calmly and deliberately , but at the same time , fervently and deter _, minedly , in one grand national object—to return tothe House of Commons , as your representatives , a few good and worthy men , in whom you can place confidence * , men of stern principle , who will neither be lured by the blandishments of the minister to pander to . tbevlce . _of the
court , tbe greedy , grasping avarice of a State Church , nor sacrifice your interests at tbe shrine of Mammon , by an undue preference of the claims of the monopolists to the fruits of your taduatry , by tampering with jour labour and forestalling with your food ; men of the people , who have learnt their creed of humanity from the people , and who by a long and ardent attachment to the principles so sublimely simplified in the People ' s Charter , aud by constantly mixing with the multitude in their struggles to obtain nnamelioration of their condition , arc thoroughly ae _ uainted with the nature of their grievances , and hence in every way qualified to propose , and insist on tbe most proper mode to redress .
' England expects each man will do his duty / * has been a clap trap phrase in the mouth of faction , from tho time thatit was first uttered bytbehieedbravoofallbertieidal _government , to the present , and too often has _Itbeen-ased to incite the unthinking crowd tothesupport of measures which hove eventuated in tbeir 1 own degradation ; Dirt never was there a sentence more' fall of meaning , nor one more fraught with beneficial results , if conscientiously actr _. on . And there never' w _ . a time when it w .. smore applicable tothe condition _and-retirements ol the country !
England more- than expects , she- needs that every man shall do his d _ iy . Ireland , Scotland ' . Europe , and tbe . world—so far as our _mal-adminlstration affects it—need : tbe same exercise of our rational , fractions , and many a patriotic heart is at this moment palpitating with _hepa ; in the issue of tbo _struggle which is about to take place ,-' . of the right of the many , again . t the -right of the few , of [ the elaims of humanity- against the sinister _designs of ifactteu ; and it will but ill _ cc _» rd with oar . denuB _ iotions „ th _. abettors of tyranny and oppression all over the world , and futile to complain ofour _grievances at home , if we do not strain every _uerr * to make out- voices -eard in the legislature , throughthe instrumentality ofour owwehosen and veritablerepresentatives .
There are various ways of doing our duty at the approaching crisis , but _. know of none more Mkely toisoccecd'than that of exclusive dealing , as recommended by Mr _ ' Connor in last week ' s _fila .. And _although it oa _ - nol be carried out so . __ -t _ a ] Iy in London as in tbe country , still I hope our brethren in the metropolitan district .- •»_) not fail in applying so powerful a lever . And let ou *_ ou _ try friends beat- in mind , that the men of _Lendau-r are ; through the medium of their very arduous and efficient national election committee , doin _;< all in their power to place before the country constituencies ; men ot starling worth and first rate abilities , and it is our _bouuden duty to rail ; round thavaa and support them with all ihe pecuniary assistant ** in our power , and to back up their laudable endravonr . witb all our mind and
wiih all our strength atthe hustings . Let the people , everywhere , bIiow their enemies that- thpy are above-thc paltry charge of corruption , so-often brought against them , by _retusing to accept of thc-minions of corruption as their _so-oalled' representatives ; above all . let them never tolerate the .-anomalous abuse of a minister of the CruWn playing ) himself off as a representative of the people . The-bitre idea of such an amalgamation of offices is preposterous ;; while the actual working of this monstrosity is , and has always boen ,. fraught with incalculable deterioration to the welfare of the industrial portion ofthe community , and , _therefore , we ought to show some signs of our political _eniightenmeut , by a _slt'oni * effort to abolish so glaring an _ _ o mischievous an ' imposition on-common sense and eomtno _ justice .
Let me not' be misunderstood . I * think that tho Ministry ought to be selected from among those in whom the people have reposed tbeir _confidence- by their free and untrammelled suffrages at tbe hustings ; but as the profligate expenditure of the _resources of the country in the foolish _frippalria-s of tha court at host .,- and in their pandering to ihe most _wioited and cru _ . _yrainnies of the despots ofothwnations , at * so much against the wishes , and so inimical . to theinterests ofthe people of thlB country , I hold thot it is _utterlyimpossiblc to perform the twofold and contradictory functions of Minister of the crown , and representative of the people . Let the Ministers , by all means , have seats in tha House , to give and receive in . _. mation , so long as they ( lo their fluty fairly , but not-to vote and let the representatives of the popular voice give their undivided attention to the duties of their mission , and by strisily watching , over the interests of the whole community , support tbe character and ( indicate the honour of their country ..
I am aware-, from experience , that the electoral body , us at present _oonstituted , aro placed innather anankwaird _positiou-, _ - _ Y __\ My holding and exercising the franchise in trust fer the benefit of their- Jess fortunate brethren , whereas , In nine cases out of every ten , they find themselves shackled by Influences from which it is not easy to escape ; a _rask promise , perhaps , given to . 6 om « busy n . ighbour , who lives , ay , and lives well too . I have known , many such , by hoodwinking the _elcctorsagainst the day of trial , and I have also- known many good and honourable men , _f-lorying in the appellation _, of liberals (?) who would _have supported a really liberal candidate , only for the said busy-body coming in at the eleventh hour , with the bugaboo cry , " -Ob ,, tor God's sake keep cut-tha Tories ! " _Andhere let me remind the
electors of the power they possess in their parochial _assemblies _o-5-ferreting out tbe littie big men wbo live by the prostitution of their taleut ., to the prostration ol their country . They will be loud in thsir . condemnation of the cosduot of Iho member , when tbe constituency camplain of having been disappointed , and-few there are , indeed , who have not had such clause of complaint . Till having shared your sympathies , secured your confidence , and a commission to look out for t __ bettev man , the _juggle in complete , and they will come forward on the eve of the next election with , a lout ; face , and tell their dupes that "it is a sad thing , but there is only a- poor _Uudieal come forward , he- has no chance ; if you vote for him you wiil so weaken the liberal .. ?) interest and let iu the Tory : so to keep the Tories out we must vote for
our old members ; " and thus have- we been bound , neck andbeels , and consigned to the tender merck . of the Whigs ! - Let the electors , throughout the United Kingdom , look back on the struggle ! they bave had to . emancipate themselves ever since the passing of the Re form Bill , ond say whether they have not been served up in this way ; and _BOthey will this time unless they act with more Independence , As to canvassing for votes , I hold it to bo a direct insult to the common sense of the elector , and ought to be scouted by all honest men ; and I am proud to know that the working men , iu framing the details of the people _. Charter , have declared that canvassing for votes at an election for a member of Parliament shall be deemed a misdemeanour , and pnnished as such , thereby cutting at tho very root of bribery and corruption so often nnd so ignorant ' , set forth as an _.

trust reposed in him till he has heard the sentiments publicly ennunciated of the various claimants for the truly honourable and high distinction of a representative of his fcllowmcn in the legislature of his country , and it will then be time enough to decide as to which comes nearest to his standard of what is right , and let him vote according to his conscience But , it is said , " the elector holds tbe vote in trust for the non-electors , " Lot those , then , in the several constituencies , who agree In this view of the caiie , call their brethren who are thrust without the pale of the constitution , together in publio meeting , and let them there and then , take council one ofthe other , and decide on the most proper courso to pursue . Let this be done by the honest portion of the electors , and give to the world the first practieal proof of the Whig assumption , that " The elector holds his franchise , as n trust reposed in him , to be exercised for the benefit , not alone of himself , but for tha ha _ . __ of the _na _/ _H-electors . "
To my non-electoral brethren I need say hut littlethe bitter experience of the past has not been without its fruits , and the taste they have already had ot tbe _Vessings (?) of Free-trade , bas given tliem an excellent foretaste of ( he realisation of the fine promises of "the big or _cbtap loaf , high wages , and plenty to do" party ; und I have no doubt they will estimate at their real value tho good things offered by thtse gentlemen In exchange for their sweet voices . But one thing I would suggest , and it Is tbis ; that as the nomination of thc candidates before the whole people In public meeting as . _semlled—called together , too , for the express purpose , and by tbe legally constituted authorities—is a veritable
recognition of the right of tbe whole people to choose their member , a poll of any others than those present ought not to be allowed without a protest , inasmuch as such a proceeding turns tho reality—which is the noml . nation—Into a complete farce , both as _regardB the recognised right of the whole people , in the first instance and their acquiescence at the declaration . I do hope this will not be lost sight of , if fer no other reason than to show by their own not that the exclusive system of voting is au usurpation , the ancient right still remainim . mtaot in the nomination-the resort to which , if flou . trolled by any other power whatever , shows the Whole to be a juggle , a delusion , and a snare . "
One word to our Scotch friends , and I _hwe done . I hope they are prepared to avail _theiaselwa , on this o _ . oaston , of tbeir privilege of choosing their members , unshackled by the property qualification , let the » sendmen of principle , whatever theircondition In _llfemny be ; ' but let them he wen wiio kB . » _jo-ucthlpg of tlie _conditon o .

TIIE ENGINEEKS AND MACHINISTS OF LONDON Held their third _atrnvemr _** at the "White Co _ d „ it House , Pentonville , on Monday , July 26 tb , when upwards of BOO persons sat down to an elegant dinner , comprising all the delicaces of the season , _ser . ed up in great profo-km , in Mr Rouse ' t beat style , and which appeared to giro unmingled satisfaction . During the dinner the band , very ably led by Mr Frere _, played some enlivening and popular aits , _aeverel of which met with an encore . Mr Burley occupied the chair , and Messrs Rose an . Km . efficiently did the honours of the vice-chairs .
Tho Cha-RMai * , in opening th . proceedings aaid , this was their third anniversary , and satisfied _he- _<* fag that _soch festive gatherings were well calculated to create a good snd kindly feeling between man and bis'fellow-man . ( Cheers . ) The firat toast he had the honour of submitting to them wa __ , ' Health and Prosperity to our Employers . ' In wishing prosperity to their employers , he at the same time trusted that the masters would not forget to allow the operatives a fair and just share of that prosperity . ( Loud cheers ' . ) The second toast _givej by the chairman was , " "Health and Prosperity to our Managers and Foremen . "' The third toast was , Prosperity to the various societies of Engineers and Machinistin London . * ' ...
, Mi . __ WM . Kr . in rising to respond , vm greeted with great applause , and said , some one might bare been ap *» inted to this office of more advanced years- who from his experience might have detailed to them the growth and progress of the-Engineers and _Maehinists trade , n ay ,. of Trade Societies in general ; ot those exciting time , when it was-dangerous to _belon *? to trades _*' combii ) ations ; when-imprisonment , nay banishment awaited the efforts of man to relieve his fellow-men . ( hear , hear , ) when the press , with few honourable exceptions , was ready to hunt them down icatead oi _uopporting them , ( hear , hear . ) Such a n _ an woul _ have given tliem an . account with an emphasis- that ; would have made them feel it " force , simply bo ,- because he _h-vd'been an actor in
those exciiring scenes , ( loud ohear ., ) ' whilst he ( Mr Hindiey ] I could only relate them by tradition . However , he thought there was much- in our societies that demanded the admiration of tbe human race , something calculated'to create proper feelings of economy , to _eause us to husband our slender resources to meet those trying times , when affliction and poverty overtake us * , ( hear . ) Were it not for the existence of our societies we should _ tot enjoy our present proud position-, or had the gratiftcati n of meeting in such large numbers on this festive occasion _,, ( loudcheers . ) - Again , reverting tothe fundamentals of oursocieties . furnishing as they defends
for support in time of need , we should- find them equally beneficial to both employer _and'emplo-yed ; they are the beneficent teachers of self-reliance , and self-respect , keeping as they do frera the _chilling embraoe ef charity , as administered _withhrthe-walU ot the repulsive , freezing Union bastile ; : { hud cheers _^ whilst oar annual social gatherings enabled our more thoughtless brethren to imbibe the inspirations of morality , truth , science , justice , and wisdom , falling from the lips of their more experienced _j-sagaciouB , and _perhap-eloquentfellow-men . ( Great applause , ) Their societies also provided for those unforeseen accidents which would sometimes
occur in the fields of peaceful labour , and which governments , althoughthey well provided for those who weren . aimcd or-disabledonthe field of battle , took no care for ( loud cheers ) - ; -, in sueh cage , our societies furnish funds-sufficient to start our unfortunate brethren in some little way of business . ( Hear , hear-. ) They also gave support in _sibkness and old age , * without' tliose in time of need , we should be driven heart-broken into the slough oi a base _degraduv . " pauperism . ( Loud cheers . ) Surely such philanthropy was-deserving the support of both the labourer , and the capitalist—the producer , the distributor , and the consumer . ( Gveat applause . ) He knew the soldier and sailor ,, when pointing to Chelsea and Greenwioh ,. were proud of their
professions , but in this ' age of progress' he trusted- the day was not far distant when men would turn their backs on such degrading employments ,, nnd their greater glory shall consist in cultivating a knowledge of the- arts and sciences ,, and in a _> love of husbandry , ( loud cheers , ) , enjoying the blessing , of nature ' s peaceful yet prolific fields . ( Immense cheering . ) . There were times of dearth in all commercial countries , and iu such times what would become of the operative engineer , and- machinist , was it not for their wisdom and forethought in founding auch societies as thoso we this day meet to commemorate . ( Loud cheers . ) It had been said we ought not to think , of enjoyment , but he could not bring himself to think that they , were merely created
to vegetate on the face of the earth . ( Hear , hear . ) Men possessed intellectual qualities , and it waa sui . lv . _ii-ht they should have both time and means for tlieir fullest developement . ( Cheers . ) Such arenas a 9 the e were the places in which they must learn to become their own legislators . ( Loud cheers . ) He was most happy to find that large masses of society _, embracing both peasant and peer , were now making efforts to obtain _ashertening of the hours of labour , requisite to obtain a more perfect developement ot thc human faculties . ( Hear , hear . ) He also congratulated them on having a portion ofthe press engaged in this great work of progress , and we could ilobut little , unless we had the press with us , to waft our sentiments as it were o _ the wings of the wind to our brethren in distant parts . He was happy ts see their Wend , the reporter of the "Northern
Star , " present . ( Cheer . ) The wealth producers were the corner stone of the building -remove or destroy that , and the pyramid of commerce must fall—hence he trusted they were resolved to keep up their societies , to consolidate their power , to look _fsrward to their anniversary , with the _fervidness of the _Araericans when awaiting the commemoration of the dav ; when all men were declared "Free and E <_ _us _ " . t with aspirations equal to thoso which warmed the bosom ofthe Swiss , when greeting tho day on which tho noblo Tell proclaimed their freedom from Ur . s Rock . ( Tremendous cheering , amidst which Mr Hindley resumed his seat . ) The chairman next gave , 'A Speedy Union of tbe societies of our trade in Great Britain and Ireland , ' which was drank with three time three , and one cheer more .
Mr W , Nkwto _** , in rising to respond , was received with the loudest applause , and said this was their third anniversary . * at their first ho had the pleasure of submitting a similar toast , which was then kindly received ; al their second it improved in favour , and it has since _boen moved at their several public meetings with equal success ; and on proposing it now , he was happy to find that it had become perfectly agreeable—it would now be their duty to carry the idea into a practical reality . ( Loud cheers . ) Trades ' unions were of ancient origin , Acts of Parliament re . lating to them existing aa far back as the third Edward , and as recent as the year 1824 , when the right of men to combine , was admitted by tbe British legislature . ( Hear , hear . ) He wished it to be
conveyed to their employers , that we understood that capital had its rights as well as its duties , and sure he was that we should respect those rights equally with our own . ( Loud cheers . ) Notwithstanding which , in this 'Ago of Progress , ' he trusted the operatives would soon enjoy a better position than they now held , for surely no man conld be satisfied with his present standing ; for he held that every man should have the means of laying by a something against the time he could no longer work . ( Loud cheers . ) Indeed he looked forwaod to the time when employment should be reproductive , aud entirely selt . supporting ; ( Loud cheers . ) He _waBjhappy to _' _say that a great part of their trade had already given in their adhesion to the question of a union of trades , and it waB their duty to go forward and with reason and souna argument convince those wa . yet constituted the minority . ( Loud cheers . 1
ue trusted that their opponents _wtroncw prepared to take _ . unprejudiced view of the subject , and to dispassionately argue it , and then sure he wm they would arrive at a just conclusion . He knew how hard it was to convince those who had long imbibed certain opinions ; men were tenacious of yielding their opinions ; however , he had no hesitation in stating that the time -would soon arrive , when all connected with their trade would be united in one grand confederation . ( Loud chews . ) He should much like to see more of their _empleyers , managers , and foremen amongst them on these occasions ; ay , and a greater portion of the female community with them , too . ( Great cheering .. Ue trusted when tbey left thi . meeting , they would not forget the influence they one and all possessed , bat by their arguments again and again repeated , carry homo conviction to the minds of their _inoredulous fellow men .

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY . The object of this company is to organise a genen system of communication , by . means ol the _elecli telegraph , along the several lines of railwav _, to i parts of the kingdom . At present the electric te . graph is in use on various lines of railways , tot ! : extent of l . _ 0 . 'miles ; but the company are ma-it arrangements for carrying out this mode of cm municationon other lines , t . the extent _of'upTOti of 1 . 000 miles more . When-this is done , tbe through the agency of this- eompanv , coramerci and other intelligence caa be instantaneously tc . municated from one part of fche country to an . oik district , and that for an economical charge .. Ta present offices in the Strand-not being _sufficie-li _* extensive , or in a sufficient ! , central situation ..
the operations of tho company , a new building is ii tho course of erection , on a site of ground they te purchased in Lothbury . This-is to be a & paci „ and lofty building , in the Italian style of _arsbi . ture , and from the arrangements to be made ini it will be extremely well adapted to meet the-mi ot commercial and other gentlemen anxious _ sera or receive information from a- distant part of th country . On entering tke interior ofthis _baiWK u j th t , 0 _' ° P > tbere -will appear rofflS the quadrangle various compartments , marked is cording to the districts with which each is in ceo in unication , the arrangement being very similar S that cf the General Post-office ,, at St Martin ' s- ! - wand . . Above these compartments are threa tin ol carried round
galleries , the building , _t * ontaio " . the . _ ver < _ te . ej . raph 9 __ . communication with *' various lines and towns throughout the kin _ do _ _, tl < whole being surmounted by a lofty skylight . A machant , therefore , wishing to-send a coinrounicslw to any town—Manchester , for instance—would can ? it to the proper quarter in the quadrangle ; fe clerk receiving it wonld have to mark and DU * it , according to the order and station to which itis directed , and then he would place it on a lift in "distant work by means of machinery , whicii carries it to the gallery where the instrument is pliced . " _& message is then sent down , arrives at _MancheBlet _, and should the party to whom it is direeted not l < on the spot to receive it . it is sent bv a messenger t *
tho required place . The _amiwer is then returned * - London ,, which , on its being received , is marked aw numbered to correspond with the number sentdo «' It is then placed on thedescendinglift , which _carria it to tho clerk , who hands it over to the _merohaol _, or any other person there to receive it . The time required tor all this would not be moro than th * or tour minutes , unless the message , when it arrived attheother end of England , had to be sent out . hand from the office . The Electric Telegraph Company do not intend to confine their operations to public news , or such messages as we have just described but a part ot" their Bystem will be to sen * < . iown to all the principal towns the alterations in * _London markets , such as the Stock Exchange Ks _. i
prices current , share lists from the various _exchanges , ship lists from the _varion . porta , corn mat ' liets , prices of the stocks , Ac . These will _wgoh * be sent down to thesovcra ! towns where subscrip _t 8 rooms are opened , and the changes will be a »* Known in them ive minutes after the alterations •» the London markets . The rapid improvements lb * havo been made since the Jormation ofthis comp " ) by those connected with it , not only as relating ° the safety of railway travelling , but its _adsp _tation to commercial purposes , show tbftt before _f _* " months elapse much more may also be done towards ensuring perfection .
