Yesterdaya company of the 71 st reg iment of the line was marched in quick ^ me to Dinan , where a numerous bod v of the people W intercepted tiie passage of the Ranee , by filling A e channel with enormous blocks of stone . The gendarmeiy and the troops sect from this town being * found too weak , and two of the gendarmes having j ^ c nserionsly wonnded by the stones thrown at them , -geshreinforcementsbecame necessary , and two com-^ aniesof the line were sent for from St .

The same disturbances have occurred a long the whole coast of Lower Brittany , black wheat { Bing the only resource of the poor in seasons when the growth of potatoes fail . "
The Fbbnch- Pkess ahd ihe- Ljposteb . —The gagrancy of the proceeding in Ireland , in collecting money for O'Connell at a season like the present , has strack with astonishment even his ardent admirer , the Paris Prate . In speaking of the O'Connell trifcute , that paper says : — Itappftar * that the amonnt collected ibis year exceeds that of the pjtst . _ It is inconceivable how a man who has 3 private income which would enable him' to lire in a p rincely manner , can have the heart to receive every year a sum of 500 , 000 f . or . COO . OOOf ., extracted sous by sous from the wretched earnings of . the poor ,- who cannot everj day procure a meal of victuals . The population ¦ which pays this tribute is one of the most wretched of Europe , scarcely ever tasting either bread or meat , and
living in dens rather than houses . Thousands of families irould consider themselves fortunate if . they were treated half so well as the hounds kept by Mr . O'Connell at his manor of Derrynane-sbbej . - But at the present time the collection of this tribute has something particularly revolting' in it . Ireland is threatened by , or rather is actuaHy suffering from scarcity . The potatoe crop , the « fiiomonfood of the lower -orders , has in man ; districts completely failed ; and it is at such a moment as this that Hr . O'Connell , who lacks no luxury , permits the agenti of « the Association' * to plunder those "wretched creatures lor the purpose of swelling-his civil list How can he ernjct that his adversaries should place any faith in his
sincerity , and allow themselves to be gulled when he deplores in eloquent terms the sad situation of his country ? Had O'Connell , when the Protestant lords , forgetting their religious prejudices , came forward and subscribed large sums for the relief of the suffering poor , renounced the rent whieh he has-hitherto received , he-would have acted a noble part , and-would by so doing have proved to the most incredulous that his sympathy for his countrymen vr as capable . of influencing him to make , real and substantial sacrifices . To harangue for hours together in Conciliation Hall is an excellent tiling no doubt , hut the Irish people require something more substantial af the present moment than this eloquence
SPAIN . Mose Blood . —Accounts from Valencia to the 12 th instant state that the sentence of the court martial on the parties implicated in the military insurrection of the 3 rd had b ^ en carried into effect at two p . m . on the preceding day . ' A corporal and four soldiers of the Gerona regiment were shot in the Place del Remedio , the troops of the garrison form-Ing a square , and immediately the execution was over , General Roncali harangued the troops , who were marched in rotation by the dead bodies , and then returned to their barracks . Seventeen soldiers of the same regiment have been condemned to ten years presidio at Ccnta , three to eight years presidio in the Peninsula , and two to six years ditto . - Sergeant Suarez , the head of the mutiny , was still in concealment .
The Madrid papers of the 18 th state that General Ivarvaez has been raised to the dignity of a grandee of Spain , withthetitleof DukeofValencia . General Roncali has resigned the Captain-Generalcy of Yalencia . Narvaez , notwithstanding his new dignity , -does not appear comfortable in his seat , and loses no opportunity of getting rid of those whom he considers as his declared or secret opponents .
PORTUGAL . We have Lisbon intelligence of the 19 th instant . The disorganisation of society consequent on misgovernment was showing itself in the impunity _ of atrocious crimes , and in acts of violence and illegality inflicted on persons who had exercised then : privilege as voters at the late elections , in opposition to the views of government . The prosecutions of the press were going on vigorously , two in one week against one editor , and three others hanging over him . Commerce and agriculture continued in a very depressed state , the Custom-house receipts for October less by sixty contos than those of the same monthlast yean A slight earthquake was felt at Oporto on the 3 rd instant . SWITZERLAND .
Lit ; sAN 5 E , November 18 . —The Swiss Courier pub lishes the speeches made in the General Assembly ol the Clergy of the Canton de Yaud , and the letter of resignation Sent by the Protestant clergy of tnat canton . The conflict which has occurred in the Canton de Vaud between the executive government and the national church is the subject of great excitement here , and may give rise to serious results Before Christmas the whole of the Protestant clergy Of the canton will have quitted their respective charges , and the government will probably be obliged ior
to supply their places with members of tne laity , the Council of State will not be able to find a sufficient mimber of successors , neither members of the church , nor students belonging to the canton itself , nor clergymen from the other cantons . The populace in general take but little interest in the fate of the _ receding clergy ; and the Government , seconded as it is ] by the Communist Societies , and the Liberals who oppose the Methodist and extreme parties in the church , will remain in power . The retirement of ihe clergy has , however , had a serious effect on the stability of the Conservative parly .
Letters from Zurich , ' of the 20 th , state that the government of Zurich has set lieutenant Brunner , one of the refugees from Lucerne , at liberty . Lieutenant Brnnner had been arrested , at the request of tiie Lucerne government , as a party in the murder oi M . Leu . The Zurich government , after a minute inquiry into the charges against Lieutenant Brnnner , came to the resolution thattherewasnottheslightest evidence in support of the charges brought against him , and that they therefore could not agree to detain him any longer , or to deliver him up , as had fceen demanded by the government of Lucerne . This determination hascaused a great sensation , and the Lucerne government considers it as a breach of the treaty between the cantons for the reciprocal extraction of criminals . The family of M . Casraur Pfyffer has applied to iiave that gentleman set at liberty on bail , out the committee of the Grand Council has refused to

POLAND . CONSPIRACY IX POSEN . The German Allgandnc Ztitung gives the following half official notification : — ' Berux , Nov . 11 . "According to authentic accounts from Posen , iwenty-five persons -were arrested there on the 8 th instant , under strong suspicion of dangerous trea sonable intrigues , but , with the exception of a bookseller , mostly belonging to theiower class of the community . " _ _ . _ . of
Letters from the Polish frontier , likewise Ifov . 11 , bring much more detailed accounts of the occurrence in question . The following are the chief particulars : — - ' "A secret political association has been discovered in Posen , which is , to all appearances , a continuation of the conspiracy of last February , of which the Government was at that time unable to discover the Bngleaders . The instigators of all these secret manoeuvres are most probably to be found in Poland and Paris , where the restoration of Polish independence is not yet despaired of ; and the idea employed as a never-failing engineforstirringnpthe exciteable spirits of the unhappy Poles . The insurrection on this occasion was intended to explode in the grand
duchy of Posen , in which all the Poles were expected to take part . The first act was to be the seizure of the powder magazine , to which it is said false keys lad already been procured , through one of the conspirators , a locksmith , aided by a military person , who had given him access to examine the locks . The public treasury was next to be got possession of , and then the signal was to be given for a . general rising of the people , to arm whom the public depots irere to be seized upon ; and in case these did not sbffiee . pikes , seythta , and other similar weapons are declared to have been in readiness inseveral Tillages . This Jast circumstance leads to the conclusion that the intended moment of revolt was close at hand , otherwise such collections of weapons would have Jwcnmost imprudently dangerous , as inYOlying almost

certain detection . -It is not yet known how , or by whom , the conspiracy was discovered ; one thing only is certain , that from-forty to fifty persons have already been arrested , of whom the few who belong to a higher class of society are all foreigners , whic ] confirms the conjecture that neither the source of the conspiracy , nor its leaders , are to be found within the Russian . bounds . Among the- native * of Posen who are implicated in the affair , gore especially named the locksmith above alluded to ( in whose loft seven persons were found concealed ) , a baker , several noncommissioned officers ; a wine merchant , &c ., &c . A domiciliary search , whieh was yerteuday set on foot by the police , produced no discovery , "
. TURKEY . . Thb Lbba 5 os Disarmed . —CoNSTASiisopii , Nov . 7 . —We were all astonished here by learning , a day or two ago , that jShekib Effendi had disarmed the Lebanon . Turkish troops , it seems ; had possession of all the strong positions of the mountain ; the means were at hand suddenly to disarm the tribes > and the Portehas been tempted , by the facilities it thus enjoyed , toexecute a project which it has no donbt long wished to see carried into * effect . The disarinment which if not already complete , will be completed in a few days' time ) has taken place , it appears , entirely without resistance . Indeed , ' the mountain has not for manyyears been so tranquil as during the lastfew months ; so much bo , that there was not even a pretext for having recourse to the violent and extreme course that has been pursued . At all the embassies here , the ; intelligence of this event has occasioned great surprise and displeasure .
GREECE . Correspondence , from-, Athens of the 10 th - mst . states that the Ministers were every day becoming more unpopular , and that considerable alarm . prevailed throughout the provinces , in consequence of the number of brigands infesting them . To the present period , however , they had respected travellers , but they plundered Tillages indiscriminately . The 12 th inst . was fixed for closing the Chambers , after sitting fourteen months .
THE RIVER PLATE . The French Government has received accounts from Buenos Ayres of the 18 thof September , which state that the United French and English squadrons have forced the entrance of the Uruguay and the Parana . Guarebaldi , the commander of the Montevidean forces , has occupied the island of Martin Garcia , which commands the mouth of the Uruguay , and which is said to be the most important military station in South America . A part of the squadron had ascended the river for the purpose of occupying the islands in the neighbourhood of Monte Video . The government of Bueno 3 Ayres continued to publish decrees forbidding all intercourse and communication with the allied squadrons . None of the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres could obtain passports to leave the city , except by giving security , and binding themselves to have no intercourse with Monte Video .
CIRCASSIA . Ah Emissary from Russia to Circassia Adjudged to Death bt Shamil . —The following is an extract from a letter from Constantinople , dated November 7 th : —A fact has taken place in Dagneatan , which will produce much sensation in Russia , aridmay have important consequences . An embassy , who has been called an ambassador , from the court of St Petersburg ( the Kaisasker or grand judge of theMahomedans of the Crimea ) having been sent to make overtures , or at least proposals of peace with Circassia , has been pnt to death atthe instigation of Sbarail . Two pretexts have been alleged by the Circassians in j ustincation of this act : the first is that the Kaisasker did not go straightly and openly to his professed
object ; that he did net address himself at once to Shamil , and declare distinctly the mission with which he was intrusted , but conferred previously with beys and chiefs possessing influence in Circassia , in a way to excite suspicion , and to give himself the character of a spy ( and that he did proceed in this manner all the accounts agree in affirming ); and the second is , that , being a Mussulman his appearance as envoy from a Christian power to a Mussulman people is , by the Koran , declared to be the highest act of treason—incurring the penalty of death —of "which an Islamite can be guilty . The Kaisasker , as soon as his proceedings and his ostensible purpose on the Circassian terri tory were known , was arrested by order of
Shamil , and brought before a council of Ulemahs , to be put on his trial . He underwent a regular trial or examination , the result of which was that he was publicly beheaded , his quality of ambassador from Russia , which he pleaded urgently , affording him no protection whatever . ' I must add , that this emissary was not accredited from the court of St . Petersburg , that though he claimed the titleof ambassador he had no papers to show that he was really one , and if , therefore , it be true , that he had been tampering with the fidelity of the Circassian chiefs , endeavouring to corrupt them , or to sow division among them , his execution as a spy was certainly a justifiable act . Shamil may on this occasion have acted from the impulses of a Circassian ; but assuredly , supposing that fact I have stated to be correct , he may justify his conduct by argument which will be held good by all civilised states . The effect of this bold measure will be , no
doubt , to strengthen the Emperor Nicholas in the obstinacy ( which seemed to be relaxing ) with which he has ever prosecuted the Circassian war ; and this effect has been probably aimed at by Shamil ; tor he has acuteness enough to sea that the independence of Circassia may be greatly more perilled by peace , by the establishment of commercial relations between that country and Russia , than it pan be by a concontinuance of war , in which Russia gets so dreadfully the worst of it , as to furnish a spectacle of defeat and disaster to the world every successive year she wages it . At the request of the Russian ambassador here the Porte has sent a firman to th « Turkish provinces on tho frontier of the Russian territory , desiring the Pachas of those provinces to take every measure to prevent the emigration of Mahomedans into Dagnestan , whether they have lately gone in great numbers to join the Circassians . Of course this innan will produce no effect .
ALGERIA . Progress of the Arab Insurrection . — The Journal des Debate publishes news from Algeria of the loth and 16 th , from which it appears that the prospects of those parts of the colony where the insurrection has broken out are by no means improved . The Debats even admits that the insurrection itself is spreading , and that the French troops continue still on the defensive , not being in a position to attack their enemies . ' Our contemporary states that this state of affairs is likely to continue for some time vet . Accounts from Constantine state that a serious
insurrection has taken place in the province of Constance . One of the cherifs has placed himself at the head of some of the tribes in the part of the province situated between Setif and the camp of Batua , on thewaytoBiscara , and by the latest accounts that part of the country was in full insurrection . The Governor of Constantine has sent a strong column of troops in quest of the rebellious cherif , and set a reward upon his head . Marshal Bugeaud , in his reports to the Government on the state of the colony , does not conceal the serious nature of the insurrection . He has made urgent requests for additional reinforcements , especially in cavalry . »
SOUTH AUSTRALIA . The Ports of South Austhaua . — A bill declaring Port Adelaide a free port , by abolishing dues and fees of every description heretofore payable by vessels visiting or frequenting our harbours , passed the Council on Thursday , July 3 , and takes effect from that day . Its operation is not restricted to vesselsof any nation , but applies equally to all ships , from whatever part of the globe they may have taken their departure . Doubtless the captains in command of the first arrivals will be as much surprised to hear that they have no tonnage dues , landing dues , entrance dues , clearance dues , light dues , harbour dues pilotage dues , or Custom-house fees to pay , as were our own hon . members of council , and the colonists generally , at this spontaneous act ot liberality on the part of his Excellency the Governor .
NEW ZEALAND . Third Repuise and Slaughter of British Troops by ihk NAirres .-By intelligence from New ZeaS . received vi& Bombay , it appears that a third attempt ofthe British forces toreduce thechief feMhai turned out a total and disastrous faj lure , Dnthelst of July , after a week-of unsuccessful operations before Heki ' s pah , or stockade fortress-m he course of which the commander , Colonel Des-ZJ 1 Seredthat" the guns he had broughtwith tor

retreat—the colonel resolved on attempting to earn Heki ' s position by a coup de main . After firing to the "few shots brought up from the Hazard , twerxtysix in number , " which , it was expected , wotf . d so loosen the stockades as to enable the assailant party

to cut and pull them down , the assault commenced . ' We give the result in the Colonel's own words , in his despatch of the following day : — ¦ . . ' . When the advance was sounded , they rushed forward in the most gallant and daring manner ,. aad . ? very endeavour was matieto pull the stockade down .

INDIA AND CHINA . Arrival of the Overlanb Mail . — London , Saturday Morning . —Late last evening , letters and papers were received from Bombay to the 15 th ot October ; from Calcutta to the 8 th of October ; from Alexandria to the fth of October ; from Delhi to the 7 th of September . The news brought by this conveyance is of more than usual political importance . It announces the death of Juwahir Singh , the TVuzeer , who was shot by the soldiery on the 21 st of October , in revenge lor the death of Peshora Singh . Affairs were afterwards continued in the hands of the Queen-Mother . The ex-King of Cabool had died at Lahore of cholera . Hostilities were daily expected to be commenced in
the Nizam ' s dominions , and a civil war threatening in Burmah . The bodies of Juwahir Singh , and of two fellow-sufferers , were publicly burnt in the Badamee Garden , on the 22 nd , four women being also burnt at the same time . It was supposed that the younger brother of the late Sirdar lieera Singh would be elevated to the post of Wuzeer . The intelligence from Hyderabad in the Deccan is of a somewhat momentous character . A peon attached to the British residency had been killed by some of the subjects of the JNizam . The resident demanded that the murderers should be delivered up to justice : but his highness , or his government , was
unable or unwilling to comply with this demand . After reference made to the supreme government , the reisdent offered to the Nizam the alternative either of giving up the murderers within one month , or of expelling lrom his dominions the Pathans , a lawless tribe of Affghan origin , who were harbouring the murderers . Again , his highness was found unable or unwilling to comply ; he neither delivered up the homicides , nor expelled the obnoxious tribe , but begged for additional time . This , however , could not be granted ; and it was rumoured at Hyderabad , that on failure of prompt compliance with the renewed demand of the resident , the city was to be bombarded .
There are indications that war with the United States is inevitable and not distant . The Americans are rapidly reinforcing their squadron in the Pacific . Adding their vessels in the Chinese seas , they will assemble a force of six frigates ( each as large as an English 74-gun ship ) , five corvettes , one brig , and one schooner . On the English side , Admiral Seymour , at or about this time , is near the coast of Oregon , with one ship of 80 , one of 50 , one of 18 , and oneoflGguns . Arrival op the Great "Western . —Important News on the Oregon Question . —London ,
Saturday Mornixg . —The steam-ship Great Western arrived at Liverpoool yesterday morning . The news brought by this conveyance is of considerable importance . The Washington Union ( official organ ) of Saturday last , in a very long and empathic leader , which of course speaks the intention of the government , claims the whole of Oregon up to the Jlussian frontier , and urges Congress to maintain this claim , intimating that America claims to possess ^ the whole against all nations . A letter from Washington says that it is a well known fact that the President will express himself strongly in the message for the whole ofthe Oregon .

ALGERIA . Another Horrible Massacre of Arabs by the French . —Three Thousand Victims!—A letter from Algiers , quoted by the Qu ^ tidienne , relates the following fact : — " We were , hoping that those lamentable executions en masse , which are so afflicting to every French heart , and the political consequences of which it was easy to foresee , would have been renounced when Col . St . ArnauJ , In August last , committed a deed which left far behind that of Col . Pelissier . A numerous population of both sexes and all ages , with their flocks and herds , their tents , their camels , and every means of subsistence , had concealed themselves in the grottoes of the Ibeat of the Dahra , on the right bank of the Chelif . The Colonel walled up the seven or eight entrances with rocks , blown off by petards , and thus caused
to perish , according to the unanimous accounts of ; the Arabs , 3 , 000 miserable victims . All the French who formed the camp which the colonel , afterthis frightful execution , left at Ain-Meranthat is to say , the men of two battalions of infantry and two squadrons of cavalry—affirm , that not a man escaped from this vast' tomb , which they were appointed to watch . Abd-el-Kader , with his usual ability , availed himself of these two horrible events to raise the exaltation ef the Arabs to its highest pitch , nnd induced several of the friendly tribes to revolt and take up arms against us , and rendered all the rest disaffected . We have been for two months the victims of this state of tilings . Every individual Arab has consequently became an open or covert enemy to us , and even in Oran our safety is insecure . "

. A murder , under circumstances of a peculiarly atrocious character , has been committed upon the person of a respectable old man , named Tranter , a farmer , residing in a lone house situate in the parish of Berkcswell , midway between the Coventry and Hampton Railway Stations . The old man appears to have been of a most eccentric character ; so much so , that he would not allow any person to sleep in the housewith him . He breakfasted last Monday morning with a boy named Satchwell , whom he employed about his grounds , and afterwards went with , him into a field , to point out the work he wished to be done in the course of the day . A short time afterwards the old man returned to his house ,, and-was-not again seen alive . At ten o ' clock the boy observed that the shutters of the house were dosed .. This
circumstance does not , however , seem to Law excited any particular attention in his . mind , it being customary for the old man to do this whenever he left the house . About one o ' clock the lad went to the house to obtain his dinner ,, and finding tbe doors closed , he knocked loudly several times , but received no answer . He then went away , but returned in the evening , and the following morning , the house still remaining shut up , this cir « umsta » ee gave vise to suspicion , and on Wednesday morning the dooi ? was broken open , and on searchiij » fie house the body of the old man was discovered in a closet , covered with blood , and on examining the corpse an immense cut was observed on the back part of the head . A carpenter ' s axe and a bill-hook lay near ( the body , both of these having quantities of hload and hair clotted round the edges . :
The state of the house made it evident that the main object ofthe villains was plunder , every drawer and cupboard being ransacked , and it is generally believed that , the eld man kept a considerable sum of ; money in the house . This atrocious deed has created much excitement in the neighbour ] : ood , but no clue ha | yet been obtained that is likely to lead to the discovery of the murderers , except that on the day the act is supposed to have been committed two men ( strangers ) inquired of a boy , the way to the old man's house , and whether he was' likely to be at home . They have not been heard of since . An inquest was held yesterday ( Friday ) , but n » new facts were elicited . ; ; .

' Leicester . —FnAMEWORRiksniEKSi—The Framework-knitters of this town held a public meeting in the Royal Amphitheatre , on Monday last (( when ftom 1 , 200 to 1 , 400 assembled ) , to read and : analyse the speech of M . D . Hill , Q . C ., dfcliveietMntbe- Court of Queen ' s Bench , in the case of Ghawner v . G ' umniins , concerning the stoppage ' of wages- for framorent , Ac , contrary to the provisions- e £ the Truck Act . Mr . George Buckby was-unanimously called to the chair , who , after briefly opening the business , called upon Mr . T . Winters , the'seeretary . to address the meeting . He commenced by reading the speeches ofthe counsel , and argued that the whole ' o £ Mr . D . Hill ' s speech was a genuine pieceof sophistry throughout , showintf there was no analogy betweea the
services of man and a machine . If the frame was- a coworkman of the man , by the same rule every machine or tool in the Idngdom was entitled to a part of the man ' s earnings . Mr . Hill had said there was . no gross sum , but a net sum , while all the world knew that from the earliest history of frame-knitting , there had never been a gross and net sum . After reading a table of frame expenses under a Mr . Collins , of which the following is a summary , he concluded by appealing to the good sense of the meeting on the question at issue : — " Twelve frames ; one , three at once ; three , four at once ; three , five at once ; three , six at once ; one seven ; and one , eight at once , whose united weekly charges amounted to £ 6 is . 5 d ., for which sum 135 dozens of stocking legs would have to be made , leaving the workman 4 s . lid . in debt ,
before they could earn one farthing for themselves . These twelve frames , multiplied by six , gives seventytwo , making 810 dozens for charges pel week , leaving the workman £ 1 9 s . 6 d . in debt . " Mr . W . Upton , of Tbumaston , next addressed the meeting in a very effective manner , after which Mr . Kirby , of Great Wigstone , delivered : an instructive address , enlivened at times b ; p several amusing anecdotes . The chairman then delivered one of his usual effective speeches with great energy , fully demonstrating the baneful system under which we live , not only to the workmen themselves , but to the ratepayers . A few questions were asked , and satisfactorily answered , when a unanimous vote of thanks were given to J . Briggs , Esq ., for the use of the theatre . —Thomas Winters , Secretary .
Massfieid Feambwork-knittbks . —The Framework-knittera , ' as a body , are , doubtless , aware that the Ticket Bill will become law on the 1 st oi January ; that is a bill compelling manufacturers to give a tieket on the delivery of work , specifying the quality and tbe price ofthe said work . This has caused a great deal of confusion in the ranks of tho middle men or agents , as they are fully aware that it will expose their nefarious practices . Attempts are already being made to make up the loss which they will sustain through the Ticket Bill , by reducing the men ' s already starvation prices . Men are beginning
to see how futile are mere sectional unions—that they are incapable of coping with those gigantic evils which meet them on every hand . We have now joined the National Association of United Trades , and are determined to support the Executive in their laborious task . "We called a public meeting on Monday , the 24 th inst ., for the transaction of the quarterly business , when committees were formed to prepare statements of all kinds of work , preparatory to the Ticket Bill becoming law . We hope the Framework-knitters throughout the country will do likewise .

NATIONAL UNITED ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY AND THE EMPLOYMENT OF LABOULl IN AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURES . Mr . David Ross , of Leeds , delivered his first lecture to a metropolitan audience on the objects sought to be obtained by tho above association , in the Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , Tottenhamcourt-road , on Tuesday evening , November 18 th . Mr . W . llobaon , ladies shoemaker , and vice-president of the " Association for the Employment of Labour , " was called to the chair , and briefly introduced the lecturer to the meeting . Mr . Ross , who was received with loud applause , said the cause of labour had not had that attention paid to it its merits demanded . He had seen the working classes in comparative
prosperity , and he bad also seen them reduecd to beggary and destitution . God and nature evidently intended that all should live , and live happily . ( Hear , hear . ) Tiie tillers of the soil , the hand-loom weavers , the shoemakers , the tailors , in conjunction with the other sons and daughters of toil , produced enough wealth ior all ; but , alas I they were not permitted to enjoy it ; nor would they , until such time they possessed sufficient intelligence to form a grand confederation of trades for their protection . Machinery was making giant strides , and far be it from him to- attempt to arrest its progress ; all he desired was , that the productive classes should enjoy its blessings . Notwithstanding the Act of Parliament recently passed ; thousands of women and children were still degraded to the condition of slaves in mines
nnd factories , while their husbands and brothers were compelled to become unwilling idlers , and walk the streets from lack of employment .. [ The great tailing of the Knqlish working classes was their pronenes ^ to over working . However , they were now begin . * , nins to philosophise , and were now demanding a , shortening of the hours of labour . The Miners arid * the trades of Sheffield had learned that short hourebrought long wage 3 . ( Loud cheers . ) The worK&ig classes possessed sufficient intelligence among t ^ amselves to work out their own redemption . Whp . t was Stephenson , the eminent engineer originally fcwt a poor Miner 1 What Hudson , the Railway lv . ng , but a plodding Draper ! Douglas Jerrold was &l < jo , of the order oi' industry , and Thomas Cooper , wh . a had recently gained so much fame by his poem , w ^ satt humble son of Crispin . The invention of ca ' acoprinting
and many other ingenious things were the brain-work of tho working order . ( Hear , hear . ) . Many attempts had been made to benefit the wor . king classes , and amongst others isolated strikes ' nad . been tried , and these , ineffectual as they were , ' had hot been without good results , for many men v . n ( W jn the enjoyment of their 25 s . per week as Wages , who otherwise would not receive 10 s . ( Loud cheers . ) But the trades bad recently resol' ed j n forming a grand confederation , of which Thomas Slingsby Duncombe M . P ., was the preside nt , ( Loud cheers . ) _ 1 he brst of these Association / , ^ as for the protection ot . industry , and the ro' utuai support of each other ; to give to any one tr .
