Nothing can be accomplished witho > it [ assoiciatiqn < Union -gives efficiency- ; to ; our efforts , ; -aad jstamps with triumph our operations for general good ; -Such is the spirit of the present age with- regard 1 to the formation of ' societies ; while the facilities for the

      successful . attainment of the objects of organized bodies are easy of acicessi and ; with the . rapidity , ' bf lightning open and give us ^ communication with our fellow-men . It is . ' jby ; means of the printing press—theipenny postage—the railway conveniences , and steam navigation , that , give ! the patriot and philanibropist the most ready means of communicating their thoughts to kindred minds , though separated by thei four ^ quarters of the ' ; globe ; and enable them , to devise plans to realise .. their purposes , and by thesame means advocate those plans ¦

      and move to unanimity of action the . masses . of . the people , with the precision and exactness of a disciplined army . It is by union that men ^ accomplish wonders , and without , union . not . hing of importance or of . any advantage can / be effected . . It was union arid co-operation that galled into existence the East India Company , and which has subsequently stamped , it with suchsuccess , and , . with a . power that rules the destinies of nations ,. keeps in -awe princes and sovereigns , and makes the boundless ocean minister to their personal advantage , and the preservation of their individual interests .- " '>¦' ¦ ¦ "

      It was this . same principle that called into practical operation the salntafy . and benevolent' institutions and friendly societies' which work " so beneficially . in affording mutual " assistance to the disabled and infirm , and by that means effectually prc venting a mass of suffering . and : distress , which would otherwise inevitabl y fall upon the surviving friends of the deceased members of such institutions . In fact , it was the same great principle that effected the emancipation of the West-India slaves—that passed the Reform" Bill—that procured the

      restoration of the Dorchester Labourers—and that repealed the Corn Laws ; and it , will . be the same princi ple , when applied upon a national scale , that will entirely effect the redemption and emancipation of the working classes , and successfully ; restore Labour ' s rights and privileges , arid place men in a position of becoming each other ' s benefactors and friends , instead of being disorganised competitors , in the labour market , awfully underrating the . price of industry , to the destruction of all that is good and useful to the working bees . ; ; ,

      But a better and more cheering era'is dawning npon that dense cloud of ignorance and prejudice that has so long enveloped the masses in irapenetrable darkness , and hostile isolation is now being swept' away by the ! strong tide of general com . bination . and amalgamation of the industrious classes ; In urging , on this current we ! exult and glory , and congratulate our friends in co-operation upon the auspicious aspect that presents itself , arid the unpre . cedented success that has attended our operations ; and already do we imagine , that we hear the rum-Wing of the chariot of eraancipatioh in the UistariciB , and sending . forth its harbingers of peace and triumph , to prepare the " care-worn sons of toil " to be ready to sing , with real joy and unmixed truth . - . ... . .. . . ; .. ..

      ¦ " Britons now no more are slaves . '•" while the reverberating hills shall echo back the motto , v •'

      "In Union ye are stroriff . " To impress the working classes witli the necessity of forming themselves . into parts of the . National Association , we neednot adduce many arguments ; That union is necessary , is apparent from the fact that if we were so inclined we cannot do without associating togeiher . jTwo men will naturally or . ganise their joint power to perform . that which , individually and separatel y , they could not possibly effect ; and it is further attested frorii' the fact , that what two men in a trade cannot realise themselves , the entire trade may become formidable by uniting their energies , and accomplish that with ease which would have sunk the two in sad and hopeless despair .

      If two , thersfore , ' are stronger than one , twenty are stronger than two ; and an entire trade is in a riinch better aad prouder position when properl y united than what it would be , if it were only partially so . And , by the same process of reasoning , we s ? y , that the aggregate masses of working men in this country would be in a more , commanding end noble position , if they would but organise their bodies , and concentrate their sectional" energies , into one vast and powerful association , than what they ever possibly can be while they continue to suffer a merely local

      Society to absorb its own ' strength in unprofitable labours . For who cannot perceive , that that which would crush the operations of one trade singly , would itself be overwhelmed by ' the spontaneous power of the National Combination being brought to bear on the behalf of such a trade , without the Association sustaining even the slightest abatement of its own' internal , strength , ? Then let the trades unite together , and , by their associated means , create a power that ^ will enable them effectually to withstand any aggression that may in future- be attempted upon the rights ot Industry . - ¦ ¦• - : .

Mr Robson wetit on-to show the progress the association had made since' their first conferenou , the present ' numerical strength , and ih ' e future pmpects ot the society . He said he need riot say much on tho principles of unions . Did they hot throw their pence into one fund ; to ' protect ' a ' particular ' brnrich of trade , beoausca riian could not stand against the capitalist by himself . ?• Were'not these unions' iri-; tended to '! protect ^ the working classes ' .

He did ' hot wish to denounce their employers for there wens bad and go > d in their class , as well aa the class he was addressing . He would have them show that they were bound together to protect tlie Konestly-tlis- - - posed oftlie niasterclas !! , as we llas th ' emselyes . Mr Robsotfthen ' proceeded to show the manner in whuh the JNational Association conducte'ltliemoveraents Of emancipation ; that the way they ' actcd was to give employment- to ; -men ; 'instead- of paying away ' tlie funds , in giving support to men to walk about' d iiric notluiie . ' and . us it appeared to biriV ( Air Robson ) they were perfectly , . ' and * absolutely independent of that

      clas 3 | andwere capablebl becoming cii ' pitalist . stht'iriselves ; by saying to the musters , — " If you do not want burlabour , we wiil employ ourtelre 8 . " Mr Robson then directed attention to the system ' of overtime working , which be said , if it would take 100 men 10 hours a-day to do a certain piece of work , it wddld require 150 men to do it working 8 hours a ^ day . This system would do something towards ' absorbing the surplus labour . If the trades' unions of th'fs country did but know their own position , they Would sei their faces against the princi ple of eyertinie working to the greatest extent . Mr Robsori c ' onclu ded bysaying he could foresee the day when they would carry out these grand and ennobling objects , and when they- 'Should summon Mr Dunconibi to

      Sheffield to lay the first ^ stone of a ; ni ) ble edifice of their own erection , worthy of the " common cause the * should havelbrdUKht . tdsuch a successful termination . Nothing would strike such' terror into the evil hearts of evil ; employeri- as this consummation , and nothing would give so much joy to those who wished well to tlit working men . In conclusion , lie begged that they would put to him- any questions , upon any point , respecting which further information was desired . After the lecture ' a " great numheroi very important questipns . were asked , which appeared to be very satisfactoril y answered . , A vote of thanks to the speaker was given ' , by acclamation , ' and the pubiib business of the rueeting concluded . Mr . Vaitiand of the'Potteries attended . '

      Your petitioners submit to jour Honourable House thntthu appointment of inspectors would not only insure a hotter system of ventilation , but would also remove or lessen many other causes of death—such as Roofs Falling— Water Ruihing in—Defective Chains and ¦ jEnptne * ; ' these ^ and many other-. instances of want of dug caution would become much loss frequent if , proper inspectors were appointed to visit the mines , and were invested-with sufficient power to euforce a , compliance with their directions : such inspectors giving no notice of their -Intention to visit the mines , ; and at all times going there when they ; wore not expected ; . ¦ .

      ¦ Your petitioners have neard that the goveromint of the country have . betn and are endeavouring to dissover some plan by which . accidents from bad air n ay be altogether prevented in mines .

And your petitioners are well aware , and they submit'it to your honourable house , that accidents from sudden and unlooked-for accumulations of-bad air are- not so frequent as has been represented , butt that in almost all ( iase . s it would appear on inquiry that it was .

      ' Your petitioners have observed with much satisfaction the laws compelling the masters in factories to provide aotne nmoUut of education for the children ' who work there , - and your petitioners sutmit to your hsnourable house that a similar plan would be of great use ' to the children of coHlerB . .

      Tour petitioners inform-your honourable house that many accidents occur in tlie mines from persons being entrusted with the care of the engines who have served no regular apprenticeship and are incompetent for the worki Your petitioners submit that no person ought to be so entrusted until he has served a regular apprcnlicbthip of at least three years , and 1 b . twenty-one years of age , and -has-been examined by an inapei'ter and re . ceived a certificate of'hit bting' fully qualified—many valuable lives would be saved if a luw were ma ' do to ihistffeet : . . ....... ^ - ,. ,..

      After dinner , Luke Jambs' Hansard , Esq ., who had Wndlyundertaken tne office of Chairman , rose and said : Ladiesi and ' Gentlemen , ' —It ; gives me great pleasure to find you engaged in promoting your own welfare of your own accorr } ,. without the assistance of . donations or subscriptions from others , thereby sustaining your own self-respect , and keeping" you from- > the union bastile . ¦ The worthy ' chairman having , alluded to the benefits that ; would accrue to society , 'if the rich and ' poor , trans ' to unite , in . some grand berieyolent .

He beeged to propose- " The United Patriots * and Patriarchs' Benefit Societies—may they prosper , arid be to their inemuers as heretofore ; a friend and support in times of sickness and adversity . "

      Mr Payne , in a speech in which he highly complimented the general . secretary , proposed : — " The healths of the General Secretary , : the Agents , Assistants , ; and Country Memljers of the Societies . " Mr Ruffy * the general secretary , said , In rising to return my sincere thanks for the high honour you' have been pleased to confer on me . rcannot . ih triilh ; find words to express my feelings . This day I have to render to yoii an , account of my stewardship in managing your affairs ; this day I standupon my trial , and you have to decide whether or not I am worthy of the situation I hold . The annual statetnent'has been sent to each of yon ; you have had time to examine and judge for yourselves ; ' arid if there is anything wrong , '' anything requiring

      explanation , anything you do not approve , or , any thing " you think requires amendment , I am here to-day to ) putyou , or to . be put by you right . We ; have also agents with us to-day from . different ¦ parts of the kingdom who can hear . seearid judge for themselves . The annual statements mutt be a source of gratification to all , they afford the clearest proof of what can be accomplished by union . 'We are unftedfor a social purpose , not for any purpose that ' can wound the feelings of any one . > Ve wish riot to interfere with the creed , views , or opinions of any oner but we are united for the purpose , of helping ourselves , securing independence , and providing for the widow : and orphan . We have expended for sickness and superannuation during ' tHe past year in llie Patriots' Society £ 553 6 s . lid ., for funerals £ 119 16 s . 8 d ., lyings-in JE 204 , lossby fire £ 7 , making a total of £ 884 * 3 s . 7 d .

      having also during the year added £ 442 4 s . 7 d . to the capital . stock of the society . In the Patriarchs ' Society we have also in the course of one short year founded £ 451 7 s . Id ., after making payments of sums for sickness and funerals . : These are the fruits of union , and prove to us what may be accomplished by brotherly ' love and unity . I am haopy to say that these societies are becoming known and appreciated iri most parts of the united kingdom . Our estimable chairman , whose name is connected with almost every institution having the objects of benevolence and , charity , in . view , has kindly . consented to become one of the patrons of our societies , andmore than that he has spontaneously given his word for £ l'O towards forming a fund for the widows and orphans . It i 3 highly pleasing to find that our objects are approved of by gentlemen of the high standing and experience of our . worthychairman . ' . ; . ..

Jlr Bird said , I have to thank Mr ' Harrey for the kind terms in which he has been pleased to propose my health , and you , ladies arid . gentlemen , ' , for tbe cordial response . vobbaTe given to it , ' which , I presume , I may . interpret into a vote of eonfidenco in my professional tervicei .

      The Chinese , whom , perhaps , we are too prone to-hold in contempt , among many excellent social regulationsbavo tbis—that they remunerate their medical attendants not as we do , in proportion to the amount of sickness , but in proportion to the amount of health . In some respoets , certainly , they are . jaatified in calling us ., bar . bariaris ; and we might with advantage inv part some of their customs a < well as their congou . An approximation to the principle I huve glanced at -will be made in , the Health of Towns' Bill now before . Parliament—a bill , which I hesitate not to « ayi considered in its economical , floaial , and moi'al

      relations , h infinitely more important than any bill which has engaged the attention ot the legislature within the memory of man . By this bill medical inspectors of the public health will be appointed , armed with considerable powers , whose functions it will )> e to reduce , if not to exterminate the physical causes of disease , and you will admit it is far better to prevent than to cure it . lam not iri the position of an old . doctor , of whom I have heard , who was more scrupulous than polite ; and who , instead of drinking people ' s health , was accustomed , in . stead , to sv , "My service ' to you !

      CARD OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF UNITED TRADES FOR THE PROTECTION OF INDUSTRY . This rapidly extending Association , which has just held its third annual Conference , and of which a Member , of Parliament is the President , in the person of T . S . Duncorabe , Esq .,: has lately issued a highly characteristic card of membership . The excellent likeness of the well-working—veil-deserving , and well-inclined Progressionist chieftain , is made . the prominent feature of the engraving , —situated in the centre , and being immediately surrounded by a frame-work of knotted flowers , or rather of the rose of England , thistle of Scotland , and the shamrock of

      Ireland , so wrought together , that the admixture thus formed seems truly a wreath worked from the richest garniture of our gardens ; its . windmill , bee * hive , and a sheaf of corn placed in the foreground , at the bottom of the wreath , and intercepting the view of the lower portion of the breast of this figure . . The top of the card is simply headed " National Association , " and at the bottom is the remainder of the sentence , " of United Trades . " ., . And very appropriately too has this main epithet been employed , for truly no association can so justly be entitled to be called " National " as that wherein Labour , its deservance , and its rights , as affecting the great masses of society , is concerned .

      A balloon taking its wondrous journey through the high and boundless firmament is seen en the left , underjt ' ue first portion of the writing mentioned ; and immediately below , this again the equally wondrous , and still more manageable , and therefore more useful , railway train , is dashing along , in . its spacedefying route . On . thc right , side . opposite to these , are two figurations of the travellers of the wide ocean , the one that of a ship , to be propelled by the power of the strong wind , whiehit just about to be launched into its watery element , and the other that of a steam-vessel actually making its far-purposed voyage , with its fire-fed pipo in full play , and the wiatbfully opposing current wholly unable to keep , back the strong onward push of tho never-ceasing -paddlewheel . : ; And now come the " working bees" themselves , in a series of cleverly executed representations of various manual employments . Here , conspicuously at the top of the outer department of the engraving , a pair of sturdy blacksmiths are observed ta be labouring at their wonted vocation , the o&o holding . ; - - . . " ' ¦ -
