^^^^^ C ^ BKOMHB ^ Ba ^^^^^^^ L ^^^^^^^ MH ^ m ^ mm ^ m -jj intended to support , when looked at from the ^ 0 point of -new as that taken by the Noble jjgfi , nor coincide in man ; of the arguments adduced by him in its support , it is impossible to deny ge creative power of genias , which imparted eren ai the last moment interest , variety and novelty to 20 hacfcnied , worn oat and threadbare a subject . If 2 ird Staslet ' s speech does not raise kim to the jsnk of a statesman , it places him in the front rank of debaters . He iraa followed by Lord ; Bkoeghim , who in spite ef a strong desire for adjournment -was full of speech , and would out with it . His Lordship was on this occasion less eccentric in manner , matter , and even dres 3 , than we have seen him during the whole Session . He abandoned the broad striped waistcoats am ^
checked trousers in which be usually rejoices , for a suit of decent black . His fidgetty restless manner subsided into a serious composure , and ho avoided with some degree of success those flights of an erratic fancy which so often disfigure his orations , and impair their effect . His description of the state of Europe in 1810 , when Napoleon controlled its every pulsation , and when in despite of his strong desire to shut this country out of the pale of nations , by means of the celebrated Berlin and Milan decrees , com and flour poured in by hundreds of thousands of quarters , even from France itself , to meet the deficiency in our harvest , was an able answer to the objection against our being dependent on foreign grain , and a capital specimen of Henry Brougham in his best days .
On the second nignt f ae predominance of speakers was on the aide of Protectionists , —the only two avowed defenders of the bill were the Earl of . Clarendon and the Earl of Haddingfon . The speech of the first -was not onKihe best of the two , bnt an able defence of the principle of free trade in itself and of its applicability to the state of affairs both at home and abroad at the present moment . Of some seven or eight Protectionist earls who addressed the house , it is enly necessary to say that they travelled over the same dreary path which has been travelled by the herd of orators in the protracted discussions in the other honse .
But the evening was not without a new feature , and one of no slight importance . The Marquis of Nonnanby supported the measure , in a speech containing the very reasons we have so frequently and forsoniany yeais placed before our readers . The direct bearing of this measure on the condition of the working classes is lost sight of by the disputants on the side ef both Leaguers and Protectionists . The Marquis brought back the Peers to that most momentous and important of social questions . He dedared , as we have often done , that its benefits and its disadvantages have been equally exaggerated by the partisans of the two great factions . The
influence of machinery on the labour-market , the questions of drainage , ventilation of houses , house rent , supp ly of water , short time , education , and other cognatesubjects , all bearing directly on the welfare ef the labouring classes , were successively glanced at by his Lordship , with all the weight and authority be longing to the declaration of a man , who was for two years the Home Secretary of this country , and who avows that during that time he was forced into an investigation of the actual
condition of the operatives , which resulted in a conviction that the let alone system will not do longer , that we must [ legislate directly in favour of the laborious masses . We commend this part of Lord Kobmisbt ' s speech to the careful perusal of our leaders , and in preference to anything we could say on the subject mooted by his Lordship , extract the following remarks from that newspaper anomaly , the iim « . '"With its usual foresight , it scents the coming question of the age , and thus discourseth thereupon : —
"We hate reversed the order of legislation . "We have made laws to help the strong ; we hare left the weak to help themselves . Our economical lore has taught us to extend the maxim of "Zxiisezfaire" in aid of enterprising wealth bnt to the injury and loss of helpless but industri-GU . S . pover ty . The lords of the factory and the steam-¦ SUginenght it ont hravely with the lords of tbe soil for tUs multiplication of their acquisitions and the greatness of their order ; but the friends of the labouring man can bat point to the lost bzttle-Selds which left the enactment of a Poor Law and the rejection of a Factory Bill as £ ha spoils of philosophical neutrality and scientific indifference .
" Cheap bread" was the cry for the mob—aery now discountenanced T > y the wisest of those who erst gave it TEnt—a cryjflesfined perhaps to be fatal to those who even inTolnntarily have profiled oj it I Bat they to whom it was addressed— -whom it was meant to excite , and whom It did excite—look forward with sullen silence and stubborn indifference to the result of a a collision which many Of them believe must lie fruitless to ihesiselse 3 , unless it Tning in its train afler-stnsggUs end future eaplhialions . At present they are mute , because they are almost without hope . The State has had but one course—the Legislation but oae profession—political science bnt one doctrine , —to neglect those -who are helpless ! They look on and matter t 9 Irfjrd and
Leaguer" A plague ob both your houses . But it cannot always be as it hitherto has been . Men's minds are fully awake to the gravity and urgency of a Subject Which ifleft , witaoutnotice , must brand ns with eternal shame , or hurl us zo irreparable rain . We are beginning to wonder at our own state . Foreigners and sojoumers among us have wondered at it long . They Sear tell of onr . riches , and they visit ns in the citadels of Qur wealth . Our ponrer and onr greatness are sounded in their ears and blazoned before their eyes in a hundred nations . " They wander amid the marts of onr commerce and the homesteads of onr industry . They see t&e high and towering edifices devoted to the
prosecution of a . labour which knows no rest and the service of capital which ceases no ; from its enterprise . Around end about them are ifce multiplied forms of an erer active ingenuity , and an unsatisfied speculation . The monotonous muttering of many engines—the throng of hundreds of human beings the appliances of a growing traffic in the streets aad neighbourhoods—all these tell them the exigencies and ine rewards of our commercial wealth . They turn from ihe factory to the outskirts of the town—to the neat villa and the modern mansion hegirt with all thermal bsasrr that English opulence loves to introduce even among the busiest scenes of toil and care . The house of the manufacturer arrogates comparison wish the hall of the pser ; the grounds of the one are absorbing the park of the otaer : the influence of the one
is growing under and subverting the power of the other . They return to the town they have left . They wander amid it 3 crowded alleys and its intricate lanes . And "What meets them there % Houses fetid with a dense population and an insufficient drainage ; men made oW befere their time 1 > J too -much -worfe , and children -who never knew the -natural bloom of health ; women -whose native comeliness has been sacrificed to the combined exigencies of home and the rectory . Everywhere they see snnptoms of overwork—overwork of mind and of body . Everything seems strained to its utmost—everybody exhausted . It may be only by comparison that this seems so to them , and only at certain seasons ; but it has struck observant foreigners as characteristic of ourmanufacturingpopu lation .
Sufficient for us is it to know , that whilst the wealth , aud the enjoyments of the rich have increased , those of the poor have not increased in the same proportion ; that the ingenuity of invention , which has multiplied forms of luxuiy for some classes , has not wrought equally for the lowest class ; and that in an age of the lughest civilisatijn may be found the most deplorable indigesee , the most horrible squalor , and the most fearful destitution . And to this state of things must our lawgivers look . Too long it has been our theory and our practice to say , "let things take their course . " Things
triS take their course if we neglect them . Bat it will be a course dreadful to the interests of all classes—fatal to the security of the State . Vfltateter good , and we are not disposed to undervalue it , may be attained l > y Vie expansion of GTmmerce in a commercial nation , still we have evidence of the most positive kind to show that without actual interference on the part of government , questions like the present mm / affect the loicest classes of Vte community no more , and oe regarded h ' j tfeia itith no greater interest , than the quarrels of the TXebx and Biaxchi , or the fends ef the Cdelphs and Ghibelliks .
4 The debate "Will be renewed to-night ( Thursday ) , with the expectation that a division will take place at its close ,-without further adjournment . Of course , all kinds of rumours are afloat , bat the general opinion inclines to the belief that ministers will have a small majority for the second reading . The Protectionist peers may , however , defeat the measure at this stage , if they are prepared to face the difficulties of Government , and the turmoil of a general election . Speculation , however , npon what a few hours will probably make certain , is useless . One thing is certain , we arenear the close of this protracted struggle . No other business worth notice has occurred in Par liamentduring the weefc .

¦ " - - ¦¦¦¦ FOREIGN AFFAIRS . The news from *""""" FRANCE this week is morethanordinarily interesting . Ifcaf lords us sincere gratification to announce the ESCAPE OF PRINCE LOUIS BUONA
PARTE . On Monday last , the Prince succeeded in effecting his escape from the Fortress of Ham , after a close imprisonment of some years . Having as . sumed the -disguise of a workman , lie contrived to elude the vigilance of the sentries ; to regain his freedom without any molestation from the battalion of infantry that formed the garrison of the castle ; and to arrive safely in London , where ,, we believe , he is this moment . We say this affords us gratification , not because we are at all tinged with Buona ' partist sympathies , not tbat we at all fa . vour the designs of this very foolish prince who cannot ( or at least could not ) see that France wanted no NafoleonII ., but the Republicno
Im-, perialism but Democracy , no Throned individual but the Sovereignty of the People ; but we are gratified , because we think the prince has been harshly treated by , those who much more deserve the dungeon than he did . Louis Buonaparte is at the / worst a foolish man , but hia persecutors are traitors to France and to mankind , and therefore we are heartily glad that he has escaped from their clutches . It is well known that for some time past Prince Louis has earnestly desiicd once more to see his aged father , whose precarious state of health Jeaves little hope that his lite will be much further prolonged . For this purpose he memorialised the French Government for his temporary liberation on
parole ; offering his word of honour as security for his return to the chateau of Ham so soon as la ' s filial attentions should cense to be required . The prayer of this memorial was refused ; and no other course , therefore , remained to the Prince than the one he has accomplished with such singular good fortune In another column will be found an account of the serious riots at Elbeuf . France is beginning to reap some of the troubles as well as tho profits of the manufacturing system . The latest accounts from the scene of these disorders state that tranquillity was preserved by the aid of a strong body of military ; other arrests have been made to the number of thirteen or fourteen . For the following remarks we aru indebted to a correspondent : —
THE IN ' S AND THE'OUT ' S . "i-. The daily papers of Paris have been recently engaged in a squabble about the old adage of M . Thicrs : " The King reigns , but does not govern . " This commenced in the ministerial Journal dcsDehats with a furious . attack upon Thiers , who , of course , failed not to reply , It is a mere electioneering ; speculation for the purpose of securing majorities in the next general election , the chambers being about to he dissolved as soon as the budget is voted . The ministerial papers , the parties in office , pronounce their approval of the interference of the king in government affairs ; the party out of office , M . Thie : s and his paper , the Conslitutionvel , proclaims snch inter , terence to oe most dangerous and intolerable in a country like France . The most interesting points in the whole
discussion are the disclosures made of the way in which Louis Philippe interfere sin tliebusiness of tliecountry , M . Thicrs relates in the plainest possible manner , that the King strives always to get his private creatures into office , that he has a candidate for the command of every man-of-war ( thus competing with the creatures of the ministers ) , that if his will be not acceded to by ministers , he plots secretly against them , that if his private wishes , as to foreign affairs do not prevail in the council , he sends secret orders to the Ambassadors at foreign courts , that be carries on secret correspondence with all influential employe ' s . It Is the more ridiculous to complain at this very moment about personal interference on the part of the Ki « Si when every paper gives daily proofs of the absolute control over all affairs of government which is exercised by the "haute bourgeois" the large capitalists . But II . Thiers and his complaints represent the " petite
bourgeoisi , " the inferior ranks of tho middle classes , who being oppressed by the enormous weight of the " gros-bourgeois" commence to pronounce louder and louder their dissatisfaction with the present state of things . How all-powerful the large capitalists are in France , how well they know how to concentrate the political leadership in their own hands , is shown by the new " loide patente" which passed some time ago ( I believe last year ) and by which the number of voters in all France was reduced from 200 , 000 to 150 , 000 . Both the ministerial papers and M . Thiers ' s paper reproach each other , that their respective policy would lead to a revolution and the establishment of a republic . The National who , of course , enjoys this quarrel very much takes these two confessions down and says , "If these two gveat heroes , II . Guizot and il . Thiers , both insist that their policy is counter-revolutionary , -we have only to bow and to a-etire with a * Thank you , gentlemen' !" Important questions agitate the Prussian division ° GERMANY . The long-promised constitution it is now said is ready , and will be made public almost immediately . An ecclesiastical synod has been convoked to meet in Berlin on Whit Monday , for the purpose of strengthening' the Cliurcli against the assaults of the Rationalists . Silesia is in a disordered state , the unhappy people showing every inclination toimitate the Polish aeasantry in engaging in an agrarian revolfc . Last , not least , financial difficulties add to the embarrassments of the Government ! and have given rise to a measure involving a further departure from the solemn pledges given by the Crown to the people . On this subject we have been favoured with the following communication from our German Correspondent : — VIotAl'WK Of SHE PRUSSIAN COBTSTITeTrOrf . in 22 nd
. There exists a ^ law Prussia ^ ated of June , 1820 , forbidding the King to contract any State Debts without the sanction of the States General , an assembly which it is very well known , does not yet exist in Prussia . This law is the only guarantee the Prussians have for ever getting the constitution which , since 1815 , has been promised to them . The fact of the existence of such a law not being generally known out of Prussia , the govern , inent succeeded in 1823 in borrowing three 'Millions of pounds in England—first violation . After the French revolution of 1 S 30 ,, the Prussian government being obliged to make extensive preparations for a war which was then likely to brcult out , they not having any money , made the " interest * for transatlantic trade , " a government concern , borrow twelve millions of dollars ( £ 1 , 700 , 000 ; , which , of course , were under the guavantGB of the government , andsoentby the government—secand
violation . Not to speak of the small violations , such as loans of a fen- hundred thousands of pounds by the same concern , the Kin * of Prussia lias , at this moment , committed a third grent violation . The ei'tidit of this concern being as it seems exhausted , the Bank of Prussia , being just in the same way , exclusively , a government concern , has been empowered by the King to issue bank notes to the amount of ten millions of dollars ( £ 1 , 350 , 000 . ) This decJucting 3 J millions as deposit and 3 millions for the increased cxpences of the establishment , amounts in reality to an " indirect loan" of six millions of dollars or nearly one million of pounds , which the government will be responsible for , as up to this time no private capitalists are partners to tho Bank of Prussia . It is to be hoped that the Prussians , particularly the middle classes , who are most interested in the constitution , will not let this pass without an energetic protest .
The Austrian government has forbidden the entrance of the Paris Charivari into its dominions Caustic comments on the G&lician " price of blood " is said to be the unpardonable sin which has elicited exclusion . From Ipoland ; we have in t elligence of a signal act of retribution which has justly consigned three traitors to the gallows . A letter from Cracow , of the J 5 th instant , states that the three peasants . who arrested Pantaleon Potocki , near Siedlec , and gave liim up to the authorities , and who for that service , had received the Order of Merit from Prince Paskiewitsch . had been
recently found hanging by the neck in a neighbouring forest with the medals on their breasts . According ; to the Vienna correspondent of the Universal Gmnan \ Gazette of the 23 rd , a conspiracy had just been discovered at Rzezow , and several persons arrested . One of the four prisoners who escaped about three weeks ago from the fortress of Neisse was recaptured at Berlin last week . He is an officer named Lissowski , who took a leadin ? part in the Polish insurrection . The rascally Prussian government continues to act the part oi' "jackal to the Tsar" in hunting down victims for the knout and Siberia . How long will the Prussian people continue to submit to Mis infamy . Liberalism is advancing in
BELGIUM ; and the hitherto uncontrolled rule of the Jesuits is likely to be upset before long . Letters from SPAIN report the assassination of Don Leoncio Rubin do Cells , who headed the insurrection in Gallieia , and fled afterwards into Portugal . The unfortunate officer was murdered by two Portuguese , who bad been hired to commit the act by persons , of high station who would have been compromised by the disclosures which Don Rubin had threatened to make . These persons , it is said , had urged Don Rubin to commence an insurrectionary movement , and then abandoned him .

by a . M . Aroux , a . wealthy . manufacturer , in the town of Blboeuf . On that occasion , I team , they assembled in front of the principal entrance of M . Aroux ' s factory , and demanded in menacing terms that the obnoxious machine-should be given up to them . As their demands were not complied with , they proceeded to extremities , and seizing every missile that cams to hand , they wantonly destroyed » U the windows in the fsctory . Between twenty and thirty of the National Garde of tbe place , the greatest number that could be suddenly ; assembled , with their commandant and the mayor of the town at tbeir head , and accompanied by a few gendarmes and rouaicipal guard , made the best opposition they could to the rioters . As the night was fast setting , fa ,, the UH ) 1 ) Withdrew to their respective homes .
By the time of which I am speaking ( nine o ' clock ) , no assistance had arrived from Rouen , and M .. Aroux , thinking to pacify the crowd without resorting to the extremity Of using pJysipnl force , came out te them from his factory , and , addressing some of his own workmen , exhorted them to return to their work peaceably . Hisattempts at reconciliation , however , were received by the most discordant yells and menaces of destruction ; and he was glad to escape from them with his life . The Procureur du Hoi , and the Mayor then addressed themselves to aome of tbe principal groups , and weie more fortunate in their exhortations than II . Aroux , for they succeeded in prevailing on the crowd to withdraw , and the workmen to return to their factories . Fears , however , were still entertained that the dissatisfaction of the people had not bi'en removed , and that it would exhibit itself anew when the men should be leaving the factories at dinner hour . The precaution was therefore taken of blockading the streets with all the armud men that could be mustered for ( he oDCAsion .
This precaution was soon seen to have been a wise one , for the bell which announced the dinner hour summoned crowds of the rioters , to th » Place-du-Cal-aire . The mob first insisted on tUo obnoxious machine being given up to them , and swore with loud oaths , that if tlieir demand was not complied with , they would demolish tbe factory in which it was placed . 'Without waiting for any reply , the garde national , an « l those who had banded with them for defence , were attavked by a shower of paving stones and other missiles , and many of them were seriously wounded at the first onslaught . The mob then tovo down by main force a new house in the course of construction ,
and converted the materials into weapons of destruction , which they used with the most murderous intention upon such Of the authorities and their armed foroe ns liad not had tho good fortune to take refuge in the factory of M . Aroux . Even this did not avail them long as a place of retreat from the fury of the mob , for the doors were soon burst open , tbe furniture of the lower part of the house was destroyed , and everything that could be l . iid hands upon was seized for making barricades , from behind % vhich the few armed men in the town were attacked by a part of the crowd , while the other part assailed those who had fled for refuge within the walls of the factory .
Just as the not was at its height , a body of 400 men , belonging to the 31 st regiment , in garrison at Rouen , arrived on the spot . The rioters at first thought to frire the troops of the line on their sii ' e , and hailed them with cries of" Vive la ligne ; but the soldiers of the line were faithful to their duty ; and on their commander giving them the order to load tlieir pieces in presence of the mob , the latter immediately fled , aud never attempted the slightest resistance . Seventeen of the ringleaders were arrested , and sent under escort on board tbe steamboat to Rouen . —ilornivr / Paper ,

Military Forces of the Pope . — The repeated political disturbances that took place last year in the Papal Statcss , have caused a re-organization of tho military department , and aa important increase of the armed force . A beginning was last year made , by the introduction of a new system of discipline , and the work has now been completed by Cardinal Lombruschini ' s " Organic Administrative Rcguia tions for the Domestic Standing Army of the Pontificate . " According to these now regulations tho Ministry of War is made to depend directly on the Secretary of State . In this department is especially included the affairs of the entire land and sea forces of the Papal States , with the exception of the police , of which the governor of Rome will continue to b « the head . The military strength of the states is fur the amount fixed as follows . - —Artillery , 1 , 024 men and 109 horses ; veterans , 420 ; grrnadiers , 1 , 450 ;
fusiliers . 4 , 02-5 ; dragoons , T 54 and 555 horses : elms , seurs , 2-55 and 206 horses ; ' quarantine corps , S 3 ; marines , 46 , correction corps , 120 ; and one corps ol invalids . The police consists of one regiment of carabineers , 2 , 431 men and 413 horses , and one corps of bersa < jlieri , or sharpshooters , 932 men utul 1 , 382 horses . To these are to be added two regiments of Swiss in garrison at Bologna and Forli , to be increased by six or eight troops—the Italian Corps de Reserve in the provinces , the Swiss body-guard of the Pope , 110 men , and his guardia nobilc , whose number fluctuates according to necessity . The prosent fortified places of the popedom arc—first class , Rome , Mont Angelo , and Gologna ; second class , Anemia , Ciyita Yeccliia , Civita Custellana ,. and Fer ' rave ; third class , Forli , Duligno , Macerata , Pesaro j Perugia , Ravenna , San Lto , Sppletb , and Terracina .
Affairs at Borseo . —Wo have intelligence of painful interest from . * Borneo , arising out of tho . se desperate acts of piracy so prevalent on that island . Mr . Brookes , of Sarawak , had communicated to the Governor-General oi' India that P < ui £ enui JJadmldeen had been attacked , by order of the Sultan of Borneo Proper , at sonic place near Labuan Island . Tho Rajah defended himself bravely , but being soriously wounded , he retired into his house , and called his wife and sister , and then ordered his servantsto bring him a barrel of gunpowder , lie took his ring from his finger , and gave it to the servant desiring him to take it to Mr . Brookes , and immediately h ' red the powder , thus destroying himself and family , about thirty in number , who were all blown through the roofs of the houses . But besides his own family , there were many others destroyed who were well disposed towards the English , and who have assisted in putting down piracy , which the Sultan is determined
to revive at all hazards . He has ordered forts to be buiifciit the entrance of . all the small rivers ; and he now bids defiance to the English . The Rajah ' s ring was subsequently taken by ^ forco from the servaut , but the roan made his escape and got on board her Majesty's ship Hazard . He warned the captain not to land on that part | of the coast , as the Sultan had given orders to capture all the English , move especially the captains . The Hazard then proceeded to Sarawak ( to Mr . Brooks ) , and from thence to Singapore . The Sultan lias ordered Mv . BrookcB to be poisoned , or killed in any way that may present itself ! Mr . Brookes has requested that a steamer may be sent to Sarawak . Colonel Butterworth has . in consequence ordered the Phlegethon to proceed there , and placed herself under the orders of Mr . Brookc 3 . But men of war will soon be on the coast , and the Sultan will then get a dressing . —* shipping Gazette .
Execution is Frasce . — ( From our own Correspondent . }—Evmvx , Momuy , May 18 tii , 18 > i 6 . —Another of those revolting sights of man-killing took place this morning at 10 minutes past 8 o'clock , en the space of ground adjoining this town , called the plain of Dele Bat . The criminal was a ynung m « n named Beaumesnil , aged only 10 years , lie had been found guilty of the murder and robbery of an old man named Sicuibassey . The erecting of the guillotine commenced at five o'clock in the mowing , and by halfpast seven o ' clock , was declared fit for the work ol destruction . Eight o ' clock was the hour appointed , and exactly at that hour the prison gates were opened , and the cavalcade , headed by two t'einlflymi' with drawn swords , commenced its march . The cuh > rit was drawn in an open cart , commonly called
a dung cart , drawn by a black horse , and led by the assistant executioner . The unhappy criminal whs attended by a priest . The assassin whs ; i stout , well built man , and appeared in gond condition , lie wtis tied to the cavt with cords round his legs . His arms were pinned behind . him . lie was without n shirt , with the exception o ' f a flannel one . He had a white cloth thrown over his shoulders , and appeared' by his looks to be feelim ; but little anguish of mind , often smiling and looking round him ; in fact , he seemed more at case than many of the spectators . Four more gendarmes brought up the roar , and in that order the procession readied the fatal spot , ¦ it ten minutes past ei ^ hfc o ' clock . -Awivinjr at the foot of tho platform , he mounted tho ladder
with a , firm step , and after embracing the priest and crucilix , walked to tho fatal 'board . He cast 0118 look at the knife , and in another moment was no more . The executioner took the head of the victim by the hair , and threw it into a long hamper , in which the body lay . After the gendarmes had crossed their swords and kissed the blinks , the cavt moved away in the same order with the lifeless body , to a coniGi of the cemetery , where it was interred in unconsccratcd ground . This is the fourth execution I have witnessed in , France , but 1 never saw one nice ; his end like this man . There were about GOO people present , who seemed to manifest no horror at so shocking a sight . Even the executioners were without disguise , and seemed gciffe cool and indiffemtt . When will such brutal exhibitions end ?

consider that the English Kinjiloyersadvaneed the Wage ! oftheir Workmen nearly , six months earlier than the Scotch , onr surprise increases nt the idea of your being the first to oflferai Reduction . Tlie plea for such a proceeding with you is " tlie » t : ite of trade ; " we tVeely admit that trade 19 rather in a languid state—tbat there is not that activity wliich is dtsiyable—that the price of yurn is uot high—jct r tulcyn in eoimecfion with the price of the raw material ; it ' may'be considered remunerative , ' Nu English Muster QoUon-Sjunner iias yot mooted Ke-( luctioii to any of their Workmen .
Gentlemen , —When we consider the prospects held out to the working , classes of this country by capitalists geiicrflllyi in the- event of a rept-al of the Corn taws taking place— -Cl : eap bread < iml high ' wages to be the rcsu and now , when thnse'laws are all but obliterated from the statute book , a » d the country in the highest expectation of the promised bendits , we , as si class , sire to be debarred from the clysium so beautifully pictured to our imaginations , and left to admire tiie phihuthropy ot those who laboured so much for the repeal of those laws , merely that the labouring class might enjoy a greater amount ot' physical corofoit . If our wagirs must bo rcdo ' ced—if we are to retrogadu in the ? C ! ile of society , and onr physical condition lie deturinrntod , it must 1 )« evident hat it will affect others as well as us . Diminished means must lead to a diminished consumption , aii'l although , the labourer must first feel its effects , it will uiJimateJy j-each the srwitest capitalist . Our wages , tekt-n in
connection with our labour—the unwholesome atmosphere in which it is performed—the amount of physical energyrequired— tlie long hours of confinement , and the ago at which we became useless as workmen , cannot be considered remunerating , and if they are to be less so , WO mU 8 t eivjo daily a greater amount of tlie pure atme . sphere , in order to recruit our exhausted faculties . Considering all the circumstances attending your proposition of reduction , we are of opinion that it is uncalledfor , from the fact , that the parties who wire first in giving an advance , are the parties who do not seem to ciitertnin the question of reduction at present ; but should you persevere in carrying your intentions into effect , we must conclude tbat the assertion often made is correct , nnmely , that whatever amount of labour we per-Jorm . or in whatever circumstances we may be placed , the capitalist will nuver allow the producer of capital more than thumeaiis of bare subsistence ,- if lie lias the power to withhold it from him . Such considerations as the fore .
going led to the following resolutions , viz .. — 1 st , Tliat this . Stavting is of opinion that the proposed reduction is uncnlltdfor , and ought to be resisted ! 2 nd , Seeing" that the notice of redue ion is far from being g neral , those Masters who have signified their intention of reduction prior to this date , be served with a remonstrance on the suKj-ct , and that they bB requested to signify to their Workers , on or before Friday the 29 th , whother they are determined to pcrsuvure in their inten . tioDSj and tbat their answers be reported to a Meeting of Delegates which ivill be held on tliuSO h , in ordor'fhat tho Association may'decide on the measures which ought to be adopted for the preservation of our interests .
We would earnestly ilnp * Ss 3 UpOU you to rCCOns ' ldet your proposition , and hoping you will como to that conclusion which will tend most to preserve the good feeling whicli ought to exist betwixt employers and employed , and that a reciprocity of interests will stimulate e . iek- to protest tha rights of the other ; By ord . iT , anil in behalf of the Operative Cotton Spinners of Scotland , Josepu Dove , Secy .

A BARNSl . Er FREE TRADER . Mr . Pigot , msinufactiuu'r of linsn by stvam , is attempting to take advantage of the depressed state of trade by proposing to take sixpence a cut from the tick-weavers . This advocate of free trade intends giving his nwfcpeop je flic benefit of PeiTs tariff by anticipation . The weavers have resolved as soon as a revival takes place in the trade to ma ' ue him laysixpence on which will be a shilling difference . Although it is all piece-work , if the hands aru a quarter of an hour after the bell in the morning , he deducts four pence from thuir wages , that is Is . id . per hour , whereas they don't earn above two-pence per hour at work .

TIIE STRIKE IN TIIE BUILDING TRADES . ( From the Manchester Guardian . ) Tlie prospect of tlie tcnniniiiiwi of this strike , which we hinted at in our last , has since then become much more doiinite and clear , and we think it extremely probable that a shore time will see the turcout brought to a close , aid all the men at work again , The following facts furnish the reasons for this conclusion . Manchester . " - In our last we stated , that an important proposal from a considerable body of men in one branch of the building trades was to be taken into COUSltkriUion by the masters in that branch ' , on Tuesday owning Jast , We mar now sbt < s llut the particular trade alluded to is the carpenters and joiners . A considerable number of the workmen in
this trade submitted to the general masters' association , on Tuesday , a declaration signed by their entire Bumbi-r . in which they expressed their readiness to withdraw from tbe general combined union of the building trades , and to form a society of their own . Tiie general ina . sters' association referred tlie consideration of tins declaration to the master joiners , who met onTuiusiiay ovcuiim , at the Clarence Hotel ; find after tiie men ' s ilcelsivatfon had been read and discussc ' , they came to tlie resolution tkat it was notsufliciently explicit as to the nature of the new society which tlie men proposed to establish . It was at least doubtful whether it was proposed to forma general society ior carpenters . mil joiners only , extendingoveraconsiileraVile dislvic ! , or part of the
kiugdoin ; or whether the men contemplated merely the ' formation of a local society . The matter was submitted by the master joiners to a general meeting of the masters' association , held on Wednesday last , and that body appointed n sub-committee to take charge of the matter , and to represent their feeling on she subject to the workir . cn signing that declaration . Somcnegociation ensued , and the men subsequently made their declaration more plain and explicit , " and on Fricl : iyseiit « dopuiat ' wit , by- wluan it was laid before n seiieriil nuwtitiif oi' tho masters' association , at their cilice , No . 1 , Ducie-place . Tho declaration , as amended , was tisen rend « vw , « nd after a short conversation , the meet ins of the masters association unanimous ! . } ' adopted tho folio wing resolution _ —
" That the dceltirriton signed by a number of tlie operative carpenters aud joiners is dtttncil siitiiliictorj- ; and that the masters bu allowed to emp lyy those men who have attached , or may attach , their names to such declaration , which shall be published in the .
