      lMr << KTANT MKET 1 N <; OF THAI'K . S" DH 1 . K-(; , \ TES AT SHEFFIELD . On Y \ ttliiccxlay evciiini :, Nov . ' Joih , ; v numerous iuwUii ; : vi' ( ivlc ^ aU's i ' voni tht- Sheffield trades wan ht-l < l at the London ' 1 ' itmUee , to consider the j > r <> - cocilinsrs ot" the meeting of nu-reliants and manufacturers , held in the Cutlers ' -hall . Mr . Stones took the chair . The _ (' uairmas would not offer any t'Nmi * lor his incapacity , but would endeavour to hpi-vu them as well a . s he cnnlil . The subject wan of vita ) importance . Every -well-thinking man was called on to place l » ini !> eli * right before the public . After the calumnies heaped on them by the manufacturers , it ¦ was the duty of every member of a Trades' Union to utter his sentiments .

      . Mr . Thus . Hootii said , that the working classes had been abused , slandered , belied , and ill-treaU'd last -week ' s papers testified . The masters luiU " departed from tne subject they announced in their placard , and had turned upon the working classes , that they might act with them as they had done before , deprive them of their rights , anu reduce them to degradation , misery , and pauperism . One gentleman said that " Sheffield was a doomed city . " If it was doomed , as many undent cities had been , to desolation , he IjojkhI , before it i ' ell , the working' classes would erect some monument to be read by a future Hunter , to commemorate that the working classes were steadfast in the cause , of humanity , and demanded their just rights . It appeared the gentlemen met on the subject of protecting life and property , but they turned from that subject to the means

      of reducing the working classes again to that state of misery and vassalage of which they could not think without horror . They offered no proof that the Trades' Unions had destroyed one particle of the trade , or that any committee had been accessory to any crimes against life or property . No such proof was pretended to be adduced , and there never had been of a recent date any proofs that could connect committees with such attempts . The objects of the masters were first to blunder , and , if possible , next to form an association to destroy the unions , however justly nnii righteously conducted . It was to be no consideration whether they were "vveU or ill-managed . , \ o suggestions were offered for their better management , ^ llear , hear . ) Mr . Ib-Wson and others had said the trades were managed by committees , but none said whence those committees ranie . Tliev < lii ) not sav that the

      committees were chosen by the meml > ers ot the trades , every man having a voice , and that in what the coniniittevs-did , they merely curied out the resolutions <> j the body . < Hear , hear , i These gentlemen ibrjrot that they weiv about to ad on thf same principle themselves . They had seen what son of wages the masters allowed them , what hoiu-s they worked them , ami how they made use of the guardians to drive them back upon such masters as Mr . IMxitrson , that the pour wretches might supplicate him for leave to live at all . He might be a friend to unions , but it was 1 'oor Law Unions ; not to unions that enabled men to say , we will have so much wage , or do no work , and we work so mam" hours , ar id no more . The principle the masters desired was , to work their men as many hours as

      they pleased , and to keep a reserve unemployed as a means to reduce wages . ( Cheers . ) Itj-as the unemployed surplus that enabled lunste . rsfo bring down wages to the starvation point . He had read a small pamphlet , from the Edinburgh Review , called " The Employer and the Employed . " It was chiefly in favour of the masters ; out it contained this admission , that if , in a given trade , H" » 0 men were employed , and 50 men unemployed , it was those 50 who would reduce the rate of wages . If the men had been getting 2 os . a week , the 50 unemployed would offer to work for 20 s ., thus displacing the other 50 , and gradually bringing down the wages of the whole . It was not the employed , but the unemployed , who made the reduction ; and this shewed the effect of the short-time

      system , -which enabled all the hands to be engaged , and left no 50 to receive wages . Let them remember , that the treatment of the pauper was so cruel , that they revolted in the streets . Let them never again forsake the cause of humanity , and allow men to be thrown in such numbers on the parish , to be so treated again . Let them rather reduce their labour to an hour a day , than submit to such degradation . ( Cheers . ) Sir Robert Feel advised , some time a <_ r o , that they should take their own affaire into their own hands . ( Cheers . ) If Parliament would not pass short-time bills—and he deplored it much—let them who were adult do it for themselves , and the children who worked under them . ( Cheers . } The masters had always attempted t » take undue advantage of the llien who confided in them . There never vet was a Trades '

      Union sprang into existence , till the rights ot the men had first been encroached upon . ( Cheers . ) Every Trades' Union had emanated from the tyranny and oppression of the masters , -which compelled , the men , when the opportunity served , to take advantage oi" it to recover the position from which theyliad fallen . There was division among the masters now , and if anv concern ceased work , the others would take its orders . The manufacturers never could thoroughly unite . It -was the more important that the men

      should do so . Let their cause , their earnestness , be one . Let them carry out the work they had so nobly begun ^ "with a determination to transmit to their children the inheritance of a recompense for their labour , -without too much tap . It had been calculated that two hours' labour a day by each person would maintain tie whole population . Surely , then , those ¦ wh o worked nine hours did their full snare , and any ¦ who worked less than two hours did not do their share . He concluded by moving— " That this meeting is of opinion that the arguments advanced by the

      merchants . and manufacturers * at their meeting , at theSutler ' s Hall , on the 13 th hist ., was in a great measure at variance ! &s respects the legitimate objects the meeting Was called for , viz * , the better protection of life and property ; that while the present meeting approve of every effort that can be made to render the above more secure , it deprecates , in the strongest tenna , the illberal and ungeinerous attacks that have been made against associations of workmen ; and this meeting is further of opinion , that the best means of defence is called for , to guard more effectuall y unions of workmen from such ill-founded and slanderous imputations as have been ascribed to them . " Mr . John Dbuhy seconded the motion . One object in calling this meeting was similar to the

      avowed object of the late meeting at the Cutlers ' Hall—to coalesce for the better defence of life and property . There were plenty of moral means to punish men who were inimical to the best kterests of the trade , without coercing persons or destroying property . This had been his opinion for some time ; ana had the manufacturers confined themselves to their legitimate object , he should have applauded their conduct . But when he saw their requisition , he suspected they had other objects , and that , under pretence of protecting life and property , they insidiously designed $ o attack the Trades' Unions . If they broke up the unions , what equivalent had the manufacturers to give ? ( C heel's ) . From past experience they knew what would be their fate . What

      What was the state of the disorganised trades during the seven lean years spoken of by Earl Fitzwilliam ? What was the condition of the spring-knife cutlers , the table-knife hafters , the fork-makers and grinders , who were disorganised ( Many were on the parishbooks , and many more laboured hard , and scarcely got more than the pariah pittance . In the fork-trade , there had been instances of men falling dead from real want . These cases shewed the unenviable condition of disorganised trades , and if they were disorganised , no doubt such scenes would soon be seen again . At the Town Hall Mr . Ibliotson had said that he had no contentions with his own men ; that he treated them as a father , and they liked him , He must have a verv bad memory , for he had a

      controversy with certain trades about . twelve months ago , when they had sonw very serious complaints against him . ( flear , hear . ) lie stated that , for nine months , when he had no orders , he emploved ") 00 men . Those who knew Mr . Ibbotson , and could swallow that statement , had surely no right to treat Jilck the Giiint-Killer , or Siribiul the Sailor , us at all fabulous . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Sorby , too , with a good leal of egotism , Twasted of his liberality ; but a friend had put him in possession of a statement at which he was not a little startled . He stated that Mr . Sorbv had a pewon working for him with lwth feet and hands , doing with his feet work that should be done by steam or water power . In consequence of this worse than treadmill labour , the individual was often ill . He did not learn that Mr . Sorbv visited

      11 ) 1 ) 1 in Ill ' s illness , or gave him any greater remuneration , but though he had a wife and four children , his wages were log . a week . Other circumstances went to show that the greater part of the men in a certain trade did not get more than 10 s . a week , while other employers , who did not go to the Cutlers ' Hall to boast of " their liberality , were paying 21 s . This statement shewed bow liberally and egotistically gentlemen could talk when they had none to confront them . He Raid , with Mr . Booth , the workmen must stir in their own cause , for nobody would do it for them . The time was arrived when the working men , having got some leisure hours , should Uy tn employ them well , and there was no better mode than agriculture . ( Land cheers . ) The thing had often been mooted and lost sight of , but he trusted the trades

      would now take it seriously up . In many ea , sen it had boon found that men employing their spare time on the land had a greater command over the necessaries of life than if they depended entirely on artizan labour , lie heartily seconded the resolution . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman said , he was sorry he was placed in tke chair , for he represented ;\ traife , the saw-makers , which had received such insults from the manufacturers as few others had done . The greater part of the statements of the manufacturers were palpable falsehood * . They shewed that the working cla >> r > must protect themselves belter for the future . ) . ; iboiir was the source of all wealth . It enabled the manufacture r * t < i huil < i palaces for thenwlvcs . t » i

      make tlieniselves comfortable , and to mmic ! their clerks to the We of Man . Mii ;! it it untenable the men to build themselves workshops , as well as th < -y were built for them , and place themselves in ;> position they weiv little aware of ' Mr . BroadhuiM w ; i >; !» oitv that a resolution of the niauufactuivrs had not been carried out . That resolution shewed what they had to expect if they were guided by the rules <> t the mastec * . am ! in what position they ami their children should lie placed . The musters had Ihhmi disappointed in the effect of their rule , and now wanted to see if they could not force themselves into it . ( Hear , hear . ) The rule wax , that any man not acting according to the wishes of any other manufacturer , should 1 m- proscribed , and that no other > huuld

      employ him . There wiw philosophy : ( Hear , hear . ; Mr . Wm . kinmov , table-knife hafter , said this was a Meeting of miK'h importance . It was mwxsary the public should know more than the manufaclurei-s hud told them—that the public should understand "hat principles the I ' nions were acting upon , as well as to repeal the assertions , without proof , made at the Cutlers' Hall . He was sorrv the manufacturers took up the I ' moiis- in the spfrit they did . They complained of the men usinjr means to force prices ' artificially high , and turning the trade from channels it would take if free . -Hut , in talking on this subject , they indulged the spirit they deprecated , and their object appeared to crush , in every illegal and unconstitutional wav , the I'nions thev complained of .

      They recommended nothing , but talked about closing their manufactories , and being able to say they had broken up the I ' nions . This spirit was a bad one , and was likely to nroduce a degree of antagonism far more hurtful to the town than the Trades' Unions . They had heard of Earl Fitzwilliam , after hearing the statement of only one side , state that the manufacturers of Sheffield had been compelled to refuse to an order that had !> een offered , because the men had struck , and the order had been sent to the continent . This was an order that would have come to his branch of the hafters , for it was a table-knife order for Mr . Muntz . This tale had been repeated in the House of Commons and in the press , and had done harm , liut it would have

      a contrary effect when the facts were explained . At the time of that order the hafters wove working at a price the manufacturers had agreed to . The price had been fixed on a reconciliatory principle . The masters thought it little enough , anu had promised that , in thive months , there should be another advance . The forgers also had submitted to the wnurs which the masters had agreed to . The fork trade had had no advance . Their I ' nion was then in embryo . The men were then getting no extra price , but only what the masters thought reasonable . The order of Mr . MunU was therefore returned , because .

      it could not be dune at prices which the niamiiacturers had themselves pronounced reasonable . It was not the workmen who had done it . And he wished this statement , which he had from a manufacturer , to go abroad , that the price Mr . Mutitz offered would not have afforded parish pay to th < - hafters and forgers . -It was said that the order was taken to Germany , but let it Ir' known that it came back again , and the goods were hafted in NhcthVld . * Cheers . ) The statement which had Ix-en made should l > e exploded . Mr . Dkuhy said , it had been done in their reply to Kavl Kitzwilliam .

      Mr . Wilkinson : The manufacturer * told them that they did not object to the prices , but to- their I ' nions . * But if asked whether they could have the prices without the Unions , they answered they could not . Then it stood thus—They did not object to the prices , but to the •• Unions , without which they could not have the prices . Then down went the statement that they did not object to the prices . Their scheme was to break down the Unions , not by right , but by power . They complained of the restrictions . These wore an important feature in Trades' Unions . The men did , not consider it sufficient to arrange for a certain price . But regulations were needed to protect that price in perpetuity . They had , therefore , introduced the regulations of the Ten-hours' bill . This

      was complained of . They were told that trade could not be regulated by hours—that ships could not wait on their horn ' s— . and that the loss of an opportunity did a deal of injury . He admitted this , unless the regulation were carried out as in his trade , and then it could do no injury . The hafter might work ten hours , and was not " allowed to do more . But if a manufacturer wanted to pack by a given time , so that the non-execution of the work would br an ini-onvenienee , the man was allowed , to take a note , authorizing him to work all night , or 14 or 1-5 hours a day , till the order was completed , on condition that he should work so much less time , when he could do so without inconvenience . That was their regulation . It was not a restriction , and he thought any

      reasonable man would consider it proper . It was not right that some men should be working 14 or 15 hours a day , while others should be on the fund , or starving . Instead of one man working" 14 ov Id horn's a day , it was better that he should only work 10 , and the other five honrs go to another man , so that all might have a share of the labour of society . He hoped other tvadea would consider this plan . He had heard of one manufacturer to-day , going to another , and proposing a plan to beat the halters , forgers , and grinders , as they should not urgently want their orders getting up till the next packing

      season commenced . This had been told them by one to whom it had been proposed . Such was the gentlemanly and philanthropic spirit displayed . While complaining of coercion , the persons wanted to coerce the men . Before they were in union the following had , for seven or eight years , been the practice in their trade . The factors , who had no sympathy with the men , kept back the orders to the last moment , and kept sending round to the small masters to see how low they could get the goods . At last they threw out a great quantity of orders . The men were urged to the utmost . They had to procure aaiBtance . Men from the parish wej * e set on , and

      Untitled Article

      bv a great exertion , a . s many goods were got up in three months as now required six . This had been going on j for years , and so low were the wages , that many men , having their wives and children working , got rio more than 13 s . or 14 s . a > week , and yet the men were so much worn out on a Saturday night , having got up as many goods in a week as they ought to < lo in a fortnight , that they could . scarcely crawl home . This could not be done now . The regulation he had described prevented it , and caused a more regular trade .

      Mr . . Shaw , fender-maker , said their trade had a connexion in London , and throughout England and Scotland . ; They had a box all the way through England , a , nd they could stop the supplies to their masters , as they had done , while they had friends who could furnish supplies to them . They were not conquered so soon as many might think . ( Cheers . ) A Representative of the Penknife Cutlers said he was the delegate of that poor , degraded body , the penknife Cutlers , a name -which for twenty years had been a by-word for poverty . He had the honour last year to wa ! it on all the principal manufacturers , and he would give some account of their views . The object of his mission was to see if they would co-operate in raising the men from the degraded state in which they were ) placed . He began with Messrs . Joseph Rodgers and Sons , and had a long interview with Mr . John Rodgers , who cei-tainly went over a deal of ground , and took a retrospective view of the trade . He mentioned that his father was accustomed to

      remark how soon his best hands , his sportsmen hands , as he called them , became old men , having to toil many hours , and receive but a small pittance . It that was the case then , how much worse had it been since ? There were articles for which Mr . Kodgers had been paying 24 s . per dozen making , which small manufacturers were making , with a deal of work , but not a useful article , at 6 s . and 7 s . a dozen . Mr . Ilodgers gave them every encouragement ; and not only did so in words , but advanced £ 20 to form the uni 0 nofth 9 irtra . de . ( Cheers . ) So much for a respectable manufacturer thinking Trades' Unions an injury , i He also visited Mr . Turner , of Suffolk

      Works , who expressed his willingness to ' concur as far as he could , and subscribed two guineas . Mr . Wosteriholme wa , s in America , but his foreman gave them \ every encouragement . They went to another muiinfacturcr . who looked ready fora rope or the canal , j He had despair in his countenance . He said he could buy cheaper than he could manufacture , and lie wished them success ; for he did not know what to do . ; The sight of that man so took away his spirits , that he could go no further that day . The next day they went , to Mr . Rowbotham , who was willing to do all he could in encouraging his men to join the union , i Some talked of wishins to crush the

      unions ; but if it were done , : n a few months there would lie scarcely a manufacturer ot" table-knives or penknives left . All things would be turciet } round . He did not kuow what to think of men who talked ot crushing the unions . He knew men who at present prices could earn only 8 s . or 10 » . a week , ibid yet were paying Is . a week to protect themselves for the future , and not for any present good . They did it willingly . They were uot coerced . When he was a young man , he knew a young woman who had a sweetheart . Her mother asked her , " What trade is thy young man f " " A fine penknife cutler , mother . " " Pry'tbee , lass , don't have him ; thou'lt have nowt but poverty . " " Well , what trade must I have , mother * " This set the mother la puzzling , and at last she said a

      diesinker . " Well then , mother , " . / aid the daughter , " I shall be glad if you'll get me one . " { Laughter . ) That young , woman was no other than his wife—( Laughter )—jand he mentioned this to warn them against letting their trades fall into the same state . ( Cheers . ) \ Mr . Wilkinson again nwe , and said that lately the table-knife manufacturers and haftera ' met , when the chainnan of the meeting at the Cutlers' Hall was one of them . ; He said he hoped the union would secure regnhirjprices , for the factors could buy cheaper than they could manufacture , and lie hoped the regulation of prices would enable him to manufacture

      again . J-Yoih time to time , since then , he had been supplied with hands . [[ is trade had txu-nded , l > ut he manufactured innre and bought less . ' Therefore , it was plain his objection to the Union was groundless The manufacturers , on the commencement ot thvir Union , ; coi . tributt'd £ 17 " , to assist them in oriranismg . and to regulate prices . Ei ; . ht « 'en , in , oi : ths ago . there Were upon the parish books one-third ot the able-bodied null in their trade . At this time there was not um .-. They jiaii ! a deal of money ( . very Saturday night ut the iiie ; i out of employ , w- ! iieh pw-\ eiited heaxj rate * , anil saved the men from the | . <; tirhou > c . hurelv this was a great l < e : ietit .

      Mr . l ">; xt «; iv , table-knife forger , ! -anl he liked to !«¦ paid tin- \ yhat he did , and to encourage the same . spirit in others . He trusted that the spirit they had shown would ; ha \ e a good influence . In" depressed trade , the masters stinted the men . The men saw it suited theimasters and they had tried it for themselves . They found that it needed no more trade than thoy had had to maintain the men as they were maintained now . The men had adopted it , but the masters were the first aggrvssors . The ma . stei"S saw that it worked welt . The men had now one-third of their time to cultivate their nwnUd powers , and thus would become , bettor able to oppose tyranny . 'Che short-time system was working well among the men , and it was desirable that there should be a

      disposition among them to work it with fidelity . They were now comparatively comfortable , but the attempt was made to crush them , aud the' assertion that persons jand property were in danger would be startling unless met by counter statements . He urged this was a matter of interest—their own interest . If a foreign foe threatened , the country would call on ; every Englishman to do his duty . And should not their personal interest stimulate them as much as that of the public ? It was right that men should sacrifice their personal interest for the cominon good . That they had done , but now he wanted them to arouse themselves to secure comfort for themselves , their wives , and children . ( Cheers . ) It was for this ] that they thought and studied , that they read the papers , and watched the course of

      events . They wanted to restore a better state of things than that men should work long hours for nothing . If the men were adequately paid ; would they allow women and children before they had learned to read , to go to the workshops ? In that case , should they see the m . asters resort to such dastardly means jas this association to protect life and property , and the bad feeling of the town increased by the declarations of some of the masters . If we get you down , we'll screw you worse than you ever have been . ( Hear , hear . ) Let them remember the Masters and Servants' Bill of hust session , by which men might have been brought before the magistrates for anything (> v nothing . ( Cheers . ) If such a bill had passed , they might soon have seen the time when the people would be a . s subservient a . s of old .

      I'lte resolution was then put to the vote , and carried unanimously . Mr . . losEPii Wilkinson , of the file trade ., rose to propose the second resolution . He thought enough had been said to convince any reasonable men of the masters' error , and to shew them that Trades ' I ' nions were not the evil they spoke of . Short-time was said to lie a great evil—ho thought it ii . frrfat good . He quoted from T !>»

      ritrht to say ; he must work fourteen hours a day , when his health and comfort Told him 10 hours were enough ' . Besides , there was his neighbour , who , if lie and others { worked M hours , must go ' without ; he . too , if they worked moderate hours , would have a share . Kuti-the masters would remove their capital ! Where to ' . To America ? The Americans would dietatej to them more than the English , and besides would call the iW , and not' master . ( Laughter . ) "Where would they make goods cheaper than in Kngland ' Cobbett said England was the cheapest labour-market in the world . He believed it was . Where but in Kngland would they get a gross of scissors ground for Is . i Yet here the scissors were manufactured and sold , material " and all ,

      for 2 w . -id . ! j All the casting , grinding , putting together , filing , burnishing , paper , band , and everything included , was sold for - Js . : id . per gross . ' . Where would ; a rich man manufacture cheaper * ( Loud cheer * . } Uut they were told they had no right to dictate to their fellow-workmen on what terms they should sell their labour . He held that they had that right . He would suppose a case . Take him to ! be a single man , able to do as much work as any nian in the trade . His fellow-workman had a wife and three children . Their master had work enough for only one . They were paid , say one shilling a dozen . Now , should he say to the master—If you will give me all the work , 1 will do it at S <\ The married man might surv . lv remonstrate— " Joe ,

      thou'lt starve rue to death . It may do for a single man like thee , ; but we can ' t live on that . " He said , the man had a right to try to persuade him to stand up for the maintenance of the Is ., and it' he , did not do it , ho should be a rogue . He met his own master one day—a man who was always willing to pay the price , though he very probably required a shilling ' s worth for a shilling—and he said to him , why don ' t you spend your time and energies in making those pay the pric « who do not pay it > . Look at so'and so ; make them pay the price . That was what they were aiming to do .. ; The men who wanted to crush the Unions were those who wanted to get rich in a few

      years ; the bold speculators , who had several sons , and must have a fortune for each , as well as a portion for each daughter . They hasted to be rich , and so fell into temptation , and the snare of the devil ; and it would be well if they were not drowned in perdition . Such men cared and felt for none but self , while they must feel for their wives and children . He had heard of one gentleman saying , " I have beat my men single-handed , " ( Laughter . ) When the people were all rejoicing that peace wag made , and Napoleon sent to St . Helena , old Cobbett said , " Don't be so ! ready to sit down to the feast—the shot ' s to pay iyet . " ( Laughter . ) And so he said to the gentlemen who made this boast . He bad a reso

      **** " ^* ' ^ S lution to move , which he did not expect to be complied with . He moved— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that a public meeting of the inhabitant * , of this town be convened as early as possible , and aa invitation sent to the party who met at the Cutlers ' Hall , to discuss certain pi-opositioiw—( Hear , hear . )^ . which will be submitted to them through the medium of the public - press . " ( Cheers . ] He believed the challenge would not be met . He believed the ina ^ nufacturers hated the light—they knew why . ( Load laughter . ) Mr . Taylor , edge-tool grinder , seconded the motion . Man was ordained to eat bread by the sweat of his brow . But the famished looks theyhad seen during the last seven years shewed that they could not always get bread by that means .

      Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said , as to short time , he wished to advise how they should deal with those opposed to it . If there was one out of twelve in a shop who would not comply , let them not call him " knobstick , " or d p any thing to make him uncomfortable . But at night , when the time to leave work arrived , let the eleven quietly put their coats on , and leave him alone , and they might rely upon , it he would not stand it long , but would cease to be & knobstick , and become a good man . He had long taken in and admired Chambers ' s Journal ; but Chambers was now publishing a series of tracts , and one was on " The Employers and the Employed . " It was a one-sided concern , and he believed had be en issued from Chambers ' s press , knowing that it would thus gain a greater circulation than through any other medium . The resolution was then put and carried ;

      Mr . Geo . Gauuhore said , if it was not so late , he should heave wished to draw attention to the article in the lafivptii'ient on Trades' Unions , which he conceived to be as slanderous an attack as the speeches at the meeting . He hoped there would be another opportunity to go into its merits . A Delegate from the Spring-knife Cutlers , concurred Ln this complaint . Their proceedings were not duly reported , and till they had a press of their own , things would be no better . Things were strangled year after year by editors , who turned everything to suit their partv . The press abetted the tyranny that was bringinsr the working classes to starvation .

      Mr . T . Booth moved , that a committee ot seven be named , to prepare the propositions for discussion , to fix the time of the meeting , and to invite the masters to attend . Mi " . Dim'rv seconded the motion . An amendment was proposed to substitute nine for seven . The mover assented to the change , and the motion was carried . The Committee was nominated as follows : —Messrs . Thomas Booth , John Drury , Stones , W . Broadhead , Birxton , I ) . Littlewood , John Taylor , G . Wilkinson , and W . 1 ' ryor . —Curried unanimously . Mr . Hrciiy then read the following letter from Mr . Puneombc : — The Albany , Nov . 16 th . 1844 .

      Deab Sib , —On my return to town , I found your note , accompanied by the Pamphlet containing your reply to the speech recently delivered by Lord Fitzwilliam at the Cutlers' Feast , and which , according to jour request , I have perused with ( jreat attention , and tliink that it contains much valuable information , and is written with great ability . It will require , in my opinion , stronger arguments than Lord Fitzwilliam hus adduced , to induce the Legislature to suppress Trades' Unions . There can be no doubt thai the Masters' and Servants' Bill of last session , was an insidious attempt at that object by Sir J . Graham . I ito not think it was brought in with that view , but be seized the opportunity of converting it to that purpose , wishing to direct it more especially , I believe , at that time , to the pitmen in the north . I should not be surprised if some fresh attempt were made next year ; but you , and all njy kind friends at Sheffield , may rely upon a continuance of my exertions to defeat any attempt to prevent what I consider a just combination of the industrious classes . I am , dear Sir , vours faithfullv , " TH 0 S . S . DUN'COMBB . Mi . W . Jino . vDiTEAD moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman , which was carried , and the meeting broke up after 11 o ' clock .

      l . EriTRF . on Trades * Union's , —On Sunday evening Mr . West delivered a lecture to the trades on "Trades' I ' nions , and their dutv at the present crisis . " The large room , Fig-tree-lane , was crowded to excels . At half-past six o ' clock Mr . Morton Knystou was called to the chair , who in a very appropriate address introduced Mr . West to the meeting . Mr . West , in a masterly address , which occupied nearly two hum's in the delivery , traced the cause , origin , and progress of trades union * , the history of

      strikes , and the causes of their failure . He then pointed out the necessity ot" a consolidation of all trades in the country for mutual protection . He shewed inimitely the advantages to the various trades by inventing their funds in the purchase of land , to employ their hands either in slack trade or when they were on strike . At the close of Mr . West ' s address a person named Cliffe made some remarks respecting the Com Laws , and the doings of "Swing " in the agricultural districts , which , he said , was doing more to bring the aristocracy to their senses than all the progress and intelligence of the workingclasses . Mr . West replied satisfactorily on the question of the Corn Laws , and showed clearly that it wsw the progress of mind among the

      masses that the oppressors , both manufacturing and agricultural , dreaded most . Mr . G . Cooke-saidthey had had enough of the humbug of Com Laws , What they wanted was some plan by which they might be enabled to become independent of the caprice and tyranny of their employers . As a great number of the trades' delegates were present , he would like to know if they were prepared with any pliins to carry out the very excellent recommendations of Mr . West . Mr . Booth , metal smith , said the trades' delegates were purely administrative , not executive ; they acted on the broad basis of political equality , and could not dictate any plans until the trades had decided on them . Tliey could give their opinions ; and his was , that the safest investment they could make of their

      funds was in the land , lie then shewed , with great clearness , the superiority of the land over manufactures , as an investment for their capital . For the produce of the land they had a home market at their own doors , whilst the peculiarity of their trade made them in a degree dependant on foreign markets , and the factors , who were the great exporters . After a many more very excellent observations , Mr . Booth sat down amid universal applause . Thei-e were then loud calls for Mr . John Drury , the respected and indefatigable secretary of the * United Grinders . Mr . Drury came forward , and , after complimenting Mr . West on his able lecture , took a review of the objections of the masters to Trades' Unions , exhibiting the silliness of those objections in a masterly style . Hv next referred to the fart of the master * withdrawing their support from the Mechanics' Institution ,

      because , as they said , there -were Trades' Unions in the town ; u proof that they dreaded the prosresa of knowledge among the working classes . But they were too late ; themultitude had become enlightened ; their motto must now be "onward" until they achieved labour ' s honest triumph , and secured equality and justice to all . Mr . Drury sat . down loudly cheered . Mr . fiallimore , razor-grinder , stated that he was happy to inform the trades present , that it was the intention of the working classes of Sheffield to purchase for Mv . Dvvn-y a life annuity , in testimony 01 his valuable services , and to place him beyond the persecuting grasp of tyrants ; this announcement was received with great cheering . After a vote of thanks to the Lecturer and Chainnan , this great meeting , the most important ever held in the Ckartist room , broke up shortly after ten o ' clock .
