The greatest unanimity prerailed amongst the delegate * , and each expressed hia confidence of the ujtuMte raccess of their undertaking . "
Sr—As moth nuranaentanaing exists concerning Ha iboTe report , *> me laying that yon -would not imert it , and oihers tbat the two men who -were Intnated ? ith tie forwarding It to me had not done their dnty I feel myself bound in justice to yon and them to rre this explanation ; and I trust that both yon and they -will excuse and look otbt my omission , as it -was entirely aeriaentaL To the Tailors' body I beg to say , that if they will at any Bme inform me of their meetings , l will willingly attend and report thBm ; or if they will forward their communications , I win take care for the future that they are punctually attended to . I am . Sir , roar obedient Servant , Wk . DlXOU . Hancbester , Jan . 16 th , 18 * 4 .
In reference to tie above letter , we hare to say , that the information it contains was the first intimation ve had of the existence of the w Report . " We should gladly hare inserted it , had it come to hind , as all parties intended it should . Mr . Dixon's explanation is perfectly satisfactory ; bat was needed , injustice , to those concerned . For ourselves , we can kJj saj , that we look npon the Trades Motemest to obtain Protectiom tob . Labottb . with greatly too jnnch interest to neglect any notice connected with b that may be forwarded to us . In that movement we see the salvation of our conntry from the
principles asd practices of "ekxbstbicted , xtxbegziatsd covrsmios . It is not likely , then , with these feelingB xnd view 3 , that we should be indisposed to give publicity to important meetings connected with , and in f orthensee of , that holy end . On toe contrary , we are prond to do bo : proud that we can . be instrumental in forwarding and supporting Labour ' s caose ; and prond that oar undeviaiing and unflinching advocacy of that cause has earned for us the confidence of the Labourers themselves , who seek , through us , io make their wrongs known , and their rightful and jast purposes manifest . The Northern Star was
established to aid Labour in its struggles with Uhbkidled Capital . It has continnally and consistently worked out its Mission , from the Srstjinoment of its existence to the present hour . ETery psge has been a 3 / irror of Wrong held up to the social tyrant's eye ; and a setting forth of the " iUGHT , and the means to achieve it , to the toiling slave . We make bold to say , that no journal ever yet existed , that so unflinchingly , so constantly , so fearlessly , and so effectively , exposed the numerous frauds , extortions , op pressions , and tyrannies committed and inflicted
apoa the labouring classes by Raxpast Capiial , as the Northern Star has done , during the enfire period of its existence . Indeed this has been its end and aim , with the additional ones of teaching IXBOV 3 . how to right itself , and secuek the first participation in the FBcns . " With thoBe ends in ¦ new , we flail continue to toil in labour's cause . And we think we may , without incurring a charge either ef inordinate vanity or of affectation , safely say , that such objects and such feelings animating the conductors of the Northern Stary point to that Journal as the one that should be honoured with the
confidence and support of those whose condition it labours to amend . This , we are proud to acknowledge , nay even boast of , has hitherto been pre-emi nently the ease . That confidence so generally recorded , has enabled us to make the Star — a terror to evil doers . " Bat what it has been is the pas , was J only , we are persuaded , an earnest of ichal H is to " become . The u signs of the times" plainly indicate that a period is rapidly approaching when the Organ efthe Labourer
an be more useful than ever ; for the Labourer is evidently girding up hia loins , and preparing to do battle in his own cause . T * bring about that period Kt have dons fame share : WHEfl IT i ' Bsrrss we SHALL XOT BE TOVXO BSHEJB , OT VTA 5 IETG . And In the movement that is to immediately usher it in , we r ^ H try to do onr part . That part will be to gire publicity to the "Usios-doings of Labour ' s sons ; and to tender such advice and counsel as mature judgment , and an anxious desire to benefit and serre them dictate .

Balascb-Sheet or xhb Executive . —We have received a nut unmerciful document from the General Secretary , under the above head , which , under any circumstances , we could mot publish this week , owing to the press of Irish pews ; while at any time we consider its length superfluous . Ab it stands at present , it would eccnpy nearly a page of the paper .

with a recommendation to have it printed in the form of a circular , and transmitted to the severs ! local snb-SeerebOTM , to be by them laid before the members at large .

Deplorable Case—Mr . Leach , of Hyde , sends us a letter which we cannot possibly find room for , bat from which we extract tbe following particulars : — " Samuel Lee , of Glogaop , was tried at the Cheater Special Commission , and sentenced to two years' imprisonment in Knutsford House of Correction , for some illegal offence committed during tbe League-plotted outbreak of 1812 A few weeks since be was discharged by order of Sir James Graham , in consequence of the prison rargwii certifying that his { Loe ' a ) health ma so Impaired as to render his longer detention extremely nanrdooa . Previous to hi * discharge he bad been several months in the Prison Hespifcal , living on rice , without any other nourishment to support bii emaciated frame . He returned home— -his constitution
completely destroyed , without hardly a shadow of hope for the future . In this state , he is of coarse totally unable to work , though he has a family and parents mainly , depending on him for subsistence . Mr . Leach appeals to his brother Chartists to do something promptly and efficiently to save poor Lee from the horrors of starvation , Mr . L- appeals particularly to the London Chartists who have nobly done their duty to so many of the victims , to render their patriotic aid in this instance ; and trusts that his appeal will be speedily responded to . " Shetpikld Chartists look out . —On Monday next H . Q . Ward , KJ . fot t !» borough , will address his constituents , the " Free-booters , " who , en that occa--sion , intend to make a grand display , and , if
possible , carry a resolution of their owd . They never have done so , as yet , in Sheffield-, and it is to be hoped that on Monday the Chartists will not forg « t their duty . Ah Old Wbaveb , Bolton , Is received . Will the writer give us hia name and address . If he will , the letter shall be inserted . ] - Jas . Bkusios—Certainly the communication was received . If it was not noticed speciallv , it was impliedly , when notice was given that many favours had been received , which were under consideration . It is not usual for Editors of newspapers to give " observations" en their own leading articles , unless in cases where Individual character is assailed , or misrepresentation made . To that rule we by no means abide : but we think that a departure
from it should be at our own inconvenience . It has not yet been convenient to insert his communication . for if it should be inserted , it will be aocompanied by other " observations . " Those require preparation ; and time and opportunity are not always at our command . There is one peculiarity connected with occasional newspaper correspondents , that we will here advert to , as it often leads to pique and estrangement Nearly every one who pens a letter , oi an article , fancies It to be of first-rate importance ; and expects others to do the same . If it should happen , when transmitted to the Editor doomed to be $ atrosued , that be should not think so highly of the darling as the father does , then a disappointed feeling seizes the mind , and the persuasion that the writer
has been alighted is soon formed . On very many of these occasions , tbe Editor , so liable to " offend , " acts as tbe best friend of the writer , by standing between him and public ridicule . We do not mean that these " observations" fully apply to the present case : but we must tell Mr . Brunton that bis letter of inquiry shows that he is touched ; or he would never have dreamed of comparing our non-mention ( by name ) of his communication with the gross and scandalous departure from a public engagement publicly made . Chasxes Willies . —His notice is an advertisement . Cakhikgtos . —Our friends must excuse us . We must decline to insert any of their resolutions . We do it on the ground that the Star must be used for higher and n « blet purposes than the " denunciation" ot
individuals . Johm Arsoii . —His song will no doubt sing tery well , but its appearance in print is another matter . Though the sentiments expressed therein are very nattering to more than one person connected with tbe Star , we must , nevertheless , respectfully decline its publication . Mr . Arnott enquires—who was the author of the lines inserted our last , bearing the signature E . Mantz ? We answer , Charles Cole . Of this we were fully persuaded when tbe lines came to hand ; but had not the means of proof then within
reach . Mr . Arnott has helped ns to them . Entertaining tbe suspicions we did , it may be thought strange that the lines were published , subscribed with Mr . Mantz's name . Our feelingfon the matter was this : that if Mr . Mantr would atttempt to deceive us and the public , by appropriating to himself tbe productions of others , it was only fair that the public should be enabled to duly estimate such conduct Therefore publicity was given , ia the fall conviction that some one would strip the daw ot its borrowed plumes . Mr . iAr&ott has doue so .

Deas Forest , Cixdkspo&d , Jau . 11 . —Awful Ful&lment of a Dream . —A yeung man , named John Gray , residing at Cinderford , who for some yeara past , since the death of hia father , has been the support of his sister and widowed mother , before he went to his work as usiia ) , at the Crump Meadow Coal-pits , on Monday morning the 8 th , told his mother that he had dreamed he was at his work , and that a large stone fell upon him and killed him ; and though his mother made rather light of it , it was with reluctance he went to his work , and that , not before he bad twice returned to wieb her good
bye , for fear his dream would come to pass ; he then went to his employment , but had not been in the pit many hours before an immense block of stone , as much as four or five men could move , fell upon him . On the removal of the stone , his body presented a shocking spectacle , being crushed in the most frightful manner . He lingered somewhat less than an hour in the most indescribable agony , when death released him from his sufferings . A coroner ' s inquest has been held , and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned . Thus has an aged Bother been deprived of her only supporting son , having kad another killed in a similar manner about four yearB
. Distbejsijtg Acci 9 £ tn bt Machikeby . —On Mond ») morning a fine lad , named Edwara Mills , twelve yeare of age , was brought into St . George ' B Hospital , suffering the most acute agony , arising from the four fingers , and a portion of the thumb of his right hand having been cut off by a circular saw , at the works of the Wood-pavement Company , near Vauxhallbridge . It appears that tbe lad had but just been engaged m his new employment in tbe machi » ertom ^ and being , therefore , unacquainted with the
works thereof , be incaariouslv , during the temporary absence of the engineer , placed bis right hand among the machinery , and before he could withdraw it his fingers , and a ponion of his thumb , were eut off , as above described . It is expected that , from the jagged manner in which the fingers &c , were severed by the saw , that amputation of tbe hand at the wrist will be unavoidable . If , however , this should not take place , what remains pf the band of the unfbrtusate boy will be of little or »• use to him .
A « 1 XFEBKAL MaCHIHK AT SHZmBLD . — The Times recently contained an account of a destructive explosion , in a manufactory at Sheffield , caused ky some miscreant baring loaded a piece of iron piping with powder , pieces of metal , and other articles , and fired it by means of a fusee . Since then , use other similar oulrageois attempts to destroy property , if not life , have been made in Sheffield , and at the monthly meeting of the town council of that town , held on Wednesday jast , the poliee surveyor iutrftdncei 19 ; he notice of the coancil an ioEtrunwat sf death and destruction which a few days ago was Pound concealed on lhe premises of Mr . Kitthen , manBfacinrer , of Earl-street , Saeflield . Ua Isogth fras about twentv-fear inches , its diameter at eaoa
extremity about fosr iaenes , and tke centre six inches . Both extremities were plugged up , and i » the centre rras an oriSee capable of receiving a fusee eamaonlv used in blastisg oe * l mines and otfeer excavations . The case was of east ir « a , and « eaptted to be charged with not loss titan foir pesnds of gunpowder . A fueee , as described , of atau * tkree yards in length , was found attached ; bmt its eealHtstien kad been destroyed owing to the improper naz > ner in which it had been inserted in the pgrfpration , oibtrmse we might have been called spea to record devastation and destruction to « appalliag tt contemplate . Mr . Eaynor stated that he had sfi « wn this ni £ chievous design to Lord WhanuliSe , wke r ( quested that it should be forwarded to Sir James
Giaham . His Lordship intimated that he should be glad to render his best assistance in the prevention « f any further attempt of the like nature on the lives and property of the people of Sheffield . The town-clf rk said there was a clamse in the Ac * of Parliament under which the coaneil was constituted which empowered them to give re wares to pcliee officers for extraordinary duties , and it was desirable that such Ehould be known , in order that the officers might use the utmost vigilance for the discovery of the designers of this infernal machine . We should hope that both police officers and other parties i » Sheffield will do all that ib reasonably within their power to bring to justice the wretches who have had any hand in either making or UEing the awful weapon . —Timts Saturday .

Fatal Accident . —On Friday last , as Thomas Wild , carter , and Edmund Wareing were hoisting large balk of timber in the canal yard , Roobdale , to put it into a cart , and when it was at a considerable height , the chain of the teagle broke ; the balk fell and killed Wild on the spot . Wareing waa senouBlj hurt . An inquest was held on Wilde ' s body on the same day , at the Navigation Inn , wben a verdict of Accidental death" was returned . He was 35 years of age , and has left a wife and three children . He was one of the Rochdale police firemen .
Fatal Accidkntfroh Machinkbt at Manchester —On Tuesday , at the Infirmary , an inquest was held before Mr . Chapman , on the body of Charles Nowell , polisher , of Elizabeth-street , Pollard-street , who died under the following circumstances . Ii appeared from the evidenoe of Andrew Crighton , turner , that the deceased was in the employ of Messrs . Elce and Co . machine makers , of Jerseystreet ; and that , on the 22 nd December last , he was polishing a pulley by means of & lathe , when the pully broke , and a portion of it fractured his right arm . He was taken to the Infirmary , where he died on Monday night last . Mr . Tomlinson , house surgeon at the Infirmary , stated that the deceased was admitted for compound fracture of the right forearm . An irritative fever came on , which eventually was the cause of death . The Jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death . " The deceased was twenty-nine years of age , and has left a widow and three children .
Another Account . —Intelligence has been received in town from Whitehaven , announcing a terrible coal-pit explosion , accompanied by fearful loss of human life , which occurred in the vicinity of that town , between the hours of five and six on Thursday evening last . The dreadful event took place at a colliery called Duke ' s Pit , at the time it was in full operation , and arose , it was supposed , from the fire-damp becoming ignited , and exploding in the lowermost gallery in the pit , where no fewer than sixteen miners were at work , and eleven horses , all of whom were instantly hurled into eternity . Most of the unfortunate sufferers , we regret to say , are married men , and have left large families , totally unprovided for , to lament their dreadful fate . Up to ton o ' clook on Friday moraine only eight out of the sixteen bodies had been recovered .
Dreadful Death from Hydrophobia . —On Tuesday a fine lad , named Enos Hayward , aged fifteen years , expired in St . Thomas's Hospital from hydrophobia . The poor fellow was in the service of Thomas Wcrmicell , Esq ., of Charlton , near Woolwich , as a helper in his stables . About six weeks ago he was bitten by a strange dog which came upon hi ; master ' s premises , but no particular notice was taken of it , and the wonud was nearly healed . On Sunday night last , however , he began to exhibit symptoms of restleness , which continued during the morning of tbe following day ( Monday ) till symptoms of madness began to be developed . The medical gentleman who attended Mr . Wermioell ' s family
advised his immediate removal to St . Thomas ' s Hospital . He arrived there about five o ' clock in the afternoon , and upon being conducted to tbe ward , ho appeared to be perfectly calm , but upon being approached by Dr . Barker , the surgeon in attendance , or the nurses , he started back as if fearful of being touched , and in a short time became so violent , that it required the united effortB of four powerful men to keep him devra apon the bed . At half-past twelve o ' clock death put an end to his sufferings . The surgeons of the hospital were unremitting in their attentions to him , but from tbe dreadful nature of the disease , all efforts to save his life were ineffectual .
DESTKCcnvB Fires , —Soon after two o ' clock on Sunday morning , nearly the whole of tho brigade engines in the metropolis were called eut to an extensive fire raging in the vicinity of Clerkenwell , which for a considerable time illuminated nearly the whole of London . On their arrival at Tummill-street it was discovered to have originated on the premises in the occupation of Mr . Downes , poulterer and eggmerchant ( consisting of a warehouse , chie % composed of wood , situated in the rear of the dwellinghouse ) No . S 3 , in the above-mentioned thoroughfare . The discovery was made by one of the inhabitants , who was awoke by a aoise resembling the cxackling of wood and a horse snorting violently . He got out of bed and opened tbe window , which
overlooked the premises in question , when , to bis great alarm , be found the place on fire . Having called the police , the neighbourhood was quickly aroused . Before many minutes , however , had elapsed , the flames shot forth with great fury from the roof of the building . The first object of the police , after the alarm had been raised , was to attempt to save a large stock of live pigeons , to the extent , it was said of 1 , 360 , but it was found impracticable , consequently the whole of them fell a sacrifice to the ravages of the flames , as also a valuable horse that was in a stable at the basement
of the burning building . Directly the engines arrived they were got to work ; and there appearing little chance of saving the warehouse , the operations of the brigade men were directed to prevent the adjacent property igniting , which after some time they succeeded in , although it was near six o ' clock before the fire was safely , subdued . In addition , however , to the destruction of the above premises , the following have sustained slight damage;—No- 23 , Mr . Mills , butcher ; Mr . A .

. On MojtDAT evknikg , at six o ' clock , an alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr . James Smith , No . 4 , Wood-street , Lambeth-walk . An alarm waa quickly raised , and no person being at home , the door was burst open , when the flames shot up with great vehemence , threateniag destruction to the entire building . News was promptly forwarded to the different engine stations , and the Waterlooroad brigade and West of England engines were soon on the spot , followed by another from Southwark Bridge-road . A vast stream of water was poared upon that part of the premises on fire by means of buckets , which had the desired effect of extinguishing the fire , not however until the building was seriously damaged . How tho fire originated is a mystery . It could not be learned whether the building was insured , but Mr . Smith fortunately is , in tbe Hand-in-Hand Fire Office .
Three Valuable Houses Burnt to Death . — About nine o ' clock on Monday night , the stable , coach-house , loft , and other outbuildings , the property of Mr . Holis , surgeon , Lewisham Village , about two miles from Greenwich , took fire , and being old wooden buildings , were speedily consumed , together with three favourite and valuable horses , harness , A . c . A plentiful supply of water was at hand , and the destructive element was subdued in less than an hour . The groans of the poor animals were exceedingly distressing , but such was the fury of the flames , that it was impossible to extricate them .
Blackburn . —On Saturday evening , about eleven o ' clock , the premises of Messrs . Littlewood and Son , founders and machine makers , were discovered to be on fire . It was some time before the fireengines were got to work , and their utility was much diminished by the difficulty of procuring a supply of water . The engine belonging to Messrs . R . Hod wood and Son was on the spot soon after the discovery of the flames , and was universally admired , both for its power and the volume of water which it threw , but especially for the very efficient
manner in which it was worked . The fire waa extinguished before it had spread through the whole of the establishment ; but the machine shop was gutted , and the lathes , Jtc , and a number of power looms , just finished , were destroyed . Both the buildings and the stock were insured to an amount which will , it is expected , cover the loss ; but a number of hands will be thrown out of employment , and Messrs . Littlewood , who have a great number of orders on hand , will be seriously inconvenienced . It is not known from what cause the fire originated .

A person in the crowd said , "Our master has lost £ 700 by a bankruptcy ; and he thinks to bring up his loss by a reduction of our wages , for he added the two picks as soon as he discovered his loss .

GEORGE WHITE'S LIBERATION . For the last week , Birmingham has been pie larded with large bills , announcing that Mr . George White would arrive from London by the one o ' olook train , and that a splendid tea-patty and ball would be held in the saloon of the Mechanics' Institute in the evening , in honour of his release . At the appointed time , crowds of working mea surrounded the Railway Station , and at ten miautes after one Mr . White made hia appearance , and was received with loud and enthusiastic cheers . He immediately proceeded to the usual place of meeting , aocompanied by that well-known patriot , Johu Chance , of Stourbridge , and a number of other fiiends from the surrounding towns . After the usual preliminaries ,
Mr . White stood forward , amidst loud cheers , to address the meeting . He said it was extremely grateful to his feelings to meat with such a hearty reception from the friends of sterling liberty ; from those who had known him long , and ought to be good judges of his conduct . True , he had been to prison ; but what signified that , when he found his actions appreciated by those amongst whom he had so long struggled ! and whatever might be the intentions of the beggarly " Liberal" Corporation of Birmingham , by whom he bad been imprisoned for advocating the same principles they had formerly professed , he would still stand firm to the glorious principles of the Charter , though all others should desert them—( loud cheers ) . What had they gained by sending
him to prison ? Had they altered his mind t No ! aor no power oa earth should ever compel him to be a mere living machine . It was the duty of all men to work , or do something useful as members of society . He was willing to do bis part as a man , bat he would not quietly sabmifc to be the mere machine of another to create wealth and fortune for him , whilst his own family was suffering privation . He would perish before any man , or set of men , should deprive him of the means of gaining a comfortable ' subsistenee . He wished them to understand that he . did not advocate Chartism because other people did so . He advocated it on personal grounds . They m » ght assist , if they pleased but whether they did or not , be ; should oppose the
system individually , for he had a family to support , and would not suffer them to be plundered without a determined struggle—( loud cheers ) . He thanked them most heartily for the kind , treatment and attention which he had at all times received at their hands ; and more oa the present occasion , as it was well known that he had been the'subject of the most bass and unfeeling calumny whilst in gaol—( hear , hear ) . Where now were the mea who had calumiated him f Were they there f He dared them ; and in the face of those before them , he dared any man to come and charge him with au action derogatory to the character of a man . S > muoh for that . He understood that the small fry of political speculators had been lately endeavouring to get up a few
clap trap measures , in order to divert their attention from the " one thing needful , " the People ' s Charter . He was glad to heat that their good sense and Bound ideas had defeated tHem—( hear ) He knew they would always stand by the rights of labour , in preference to all the trumpery of quacks . Tbe most ridiculous of all those measures was the old cuckoo note of "Stop the supplies . " ( Loud oheers . ) 2 Stop the supplies indeed ! It might be very fine amusement for those with well-stored larders to iadulge in suoh nonsensical dreams ; but as far as tbe working mea were concerned , the supplies were stopped with a vengeance . ( Loud cheers . ) Well . He had returned among them again , and was determined to work with ten-fold vigour to upset the vile
system which made them miserable . ( Loud cheers . ) No punishment that tyranny could inflict should deter him . ( Cheers . ) He had been sent to prison for holding publio meetings against the dictum of a few booby magistrates . He was there again on the old spot , surrounded by their ' ' honest faces ; and he bid them defiance—( cheers ) . He would hold the meetings as usual , every Monday evening , when the weather permitted—( loud cheers ) . Mr . White then went on to shew that the Constitution of England guaranteed the right of publio ' meeting ; aud he would try it with the " powers that be , " as often as
they liked . He eulogised the Chartists of London for their kindness towards him , and excused himself from making a long speech , as he had to meet them again at their tea-party in the evening . He again thanked them for shewing , by their numerous attendance on that occasion , that he still lived in their esteem . He congratulated them oa the noble spirit they had displayed , assured them of his devotion to the people's cause , without cant , equivocation , or humbug , and retired amidst the reiterated plaudits of the meeting ; and on passing from the meeting shook hands with hundreds of his old friends . i
Mr . John Chance , of Stourbridge , then addressed the meeting in a long and able speech , in his usual fervid and houest style , in the course of whioh he enlogised Mr . White for his conduct , and entered into a clever exposition of the " Track System" as practised in Che neighbourhood of Stourbridge , and instanced the case of a man named Eyeson , a Corn Law Repealer , who sold bacon to his workpeople not fit for human food , at tbe rate of eightpence per pound which was purchased by him for 3 £ d . He produced a sample from his pocket , and exhibited it to the meeting , whioh was received with execration . After exhorting them to continue in their usual course , neither turning to their right hand nor to their left , but go on until the Charter became law , he retired amidst loud and long \ continued cheering . The day being extremely cold , the meeting dispersed to prepare for
THE TEA PARTT AND BALL . The large Saloon of the Mechanics' Institute was tastefully fitted up for the occasion . The hustings was decorated with various flogs , j among the most Erominent of which was the large and beautiful anner of the National Charter Association . Every available seat was occupied by six o ' olock , at which time ; Mr . John Chance was called to the chair , amidst the hearty plaudits of the crowded assembly . He said they had met that evening to celebrate the
release of their well-tried friend , George White , from a long imprisonmeut—( hear , hear)—and he felt extreme pleasure in witnessing the numerous and respectable company which had attended for that purpose . He only regretted one circumstance , which was , the absence of their most esteemed friend , Feargus O'Connor—( hear , hear , and cheers ) . He then entered into a detail of the sufferings of the nailmakers in this district , and ! introduced Mr . White to address them . Mr . Chance was loudly oheered on resuming his seat . '
Mr . George White was loudly cheered on making hist appearance iu front of the platform . He thanked the good men and women of Birmingham for the unequivocal manner in which they displayed their approval of his conduct whilst amongst them , by their numerous attendance that evening . He then entered into a reriew of the state of parties in the town ; and said that honest Chartism was triumphant ia Birmingham , a fact that would delight the lovers of liberty throughout England . He should not trespass too muoh oa their time , as he saw an excellent band near him ready to amuse them , and should therefore retire by again expressing hia gratitute for the reception they had given him . He then retired amidst loud cheers .

TAILORS' PROTECTION SOCIETY . On Monday evening last , the General Quarterly Meeting of the above Sooiety was holden iu the large room of the White Swau , Buahill Row , Moorfields , to receive the Report of the Central Committee tor the test quarter } hear the account of receipts and disbursements read ; appoiat Auditors ; and make such alterations in the laws as the advanced position of the Sooiety had rendered necessary . The meetiug was numerously attended from the various sections of the Metropolis . Mr . Harman was unammoHsly called to the chair . Jhe balance sheet was brought before the meeting by . Mr . Parrott , and Messrs . Williams , Huxley and Parrott were appointed auditors .
Mr . Parker then read a lengthy and luminous j i . ° 1 * ke Central Committee which was received by an unanimous burst of applause . After detailing the expences of the Committtee for the quaJjt , » which amounted to the enormous Bum of £ 2 17 s . 6 d ., it reviewed thefpast condition of the Society ; brought prominently before the members the circumstances whioh promise to work such glorious results in the fvture , by making thom the means of firmly uniting the whole trade in one bond of brotherhood : and it also contained several recommendations for adoption by the members , to accomplish this object ; particularly the appointment of lecturers to explain the objects and ends of the society to those of the trade who had not yet signified their adhesion . The adoption of the Report was moved by Mr . J . W . Parker , in an admirable speech , in which he reviewed the past operations , present position , and brightened prospects of the association . Mr . Cotter seconded the
motion , and it was ably spoken to by Messrs . Lazenby , Mackay , Gow , Crefton , and Gradwell . When put from the chair , the motion was carried with acclamation . Mr . Parrott was then appointed President of the Association ; having been nominated thereto by parties who could testify to his worth , integrity , aud great usefulness . The new President took his seat amid the hearty acclamations of the entire assembly , The fallowing propositions were put from the chair and carried unanimously : —
Third—That sectional meeting nights be altered from Tuesday to Monday . Fourth—That lecturers be appointed for the purpose of opening new sections , as well as to exponnd the prinoiplss and . objects of the society , aueh lecturers to visit all parts of the country , if required . Fifth—That the word twenty be substituted for thirty , in the third article . Sixth—That sectional representatives meet their district representatives at the Central Committee Room , instead of meeting on Mondays , according to the present regulations ; and that they be paid the same as members of the Central Committee , and subject to the same fines .
Seventh—That sections { forming themselves into bouses of call , are imperatively called upon not to serve , or interfere in any way , with any call that belongs to any society already in existence . Eight—That it be recommended to the sections that they form visiting committees in their localities . On the motion of Mr . Parker , the 50 th article was expunged from the rules and regulations , as being illegal . The following resolution was proposed by Mr . Gradwell , seconded by M . r . Crofton , and carried unanimously , " That this meeting highly approves of the line of policy adopted by the Central Committee , and pledge themselves to render them every possible assistance , so long as they continue in the course hitherto pursued , and that the thanks of the meeting are hereby tendered to Messrs . Parrot , Parker , Eames , Cotter , and the remaining members of the Committee , for their praiseworthy exertions on behalf of the society . "
The meeting separated at a late hour , highly gratified at the evening ' s proceedings . I We are sorry that circumstances have compelled us to curtail tbe report furnished of the above meeting : bat we had no alternative . In the first place it did not arrive till Friday morning : and at that period of the week , long reports and communications always stand a poor ohanoe . In the second place , when it did arrive , it was closely written on an immense sheet of paper , on both sides ; and this , of itself , jwould have rendered it impossible to have " got it np" in the short time we have at command on Fridays ; because of the impossibility of dividing the labour into many hards . All that we could do , therefore , was to present an epitome of the proceedings as above .
We trust , in future , to be able to do more justice to the body whose meeting is here recorded . If they will but let us have their reports in good time , and observe the ordinary rule in writing them out , they shall have every attention at our hands ] , Yeovil . —Having read in the columns of the Star how tbe Tailors in the metropolis and various other towns are uniting together ia a Union for protection , we thought it our duty to do what little we could to forward so noble an object . We got npa meeting and upwards of thirty came forward and joined us , including several respeotable masters . A Committee was appointed to meet on Monday evening next , at eight o ' clock , to draw up rules for our future proceedings , until a delegate meeting be called .
Hull . —A publio meeting of the Tailors took place on Monday evening , in the Eiders' Club Room , to take into consideration the best means of removing the evils which afflict the trade . Mr Pulford was unanimously called to the ohair . Mr . Robertson rose , and , in a manly and energetio speech , denounced the ruinous principle of the slop sellers , the sweating system , and the unprincipled interference of the drapers , and read lists of prices which fully corroborated his assertions . The speaker concluded by reading the following resolution : — " That it is the duty of every individual to unite together to protect themselves and families from the misery and wretohedness whioh now surround them , and the gross and diabolical impostions praotised « pon them by a system of unprincipled competition . That tho principle on whioh the ready-made clothes establishments are carried on is one of public deception and injustice , and
denies to industry its due reward , and is calculated from its nature to destroy the best interests of society ; we therefore conceive it to be our duty to put a stop to such a degrading system , by every legal means in onr power . " Seconded by Mr . Stevenson , and carried unanimously , amidst great applause . The next resolution was mo red by Mr . Allen , and seconded by Mr . Wray , which was also carried unanimously : *— That no union can be effective unless carried oat on a , general principle ; we therefore resolve immediately to join the United Tailors' Trade Protection Society of Great Britain and Ireland ; and we recommend the calling of a National Delegate Meeting for the purpose of agreeing to a general / plan of organisation ; and that the Central Committee be empowered to call the same . " A great number of names were enrolled , and the meeting adjourned until next Monday , when the masters are respectfully invited to attend .
