1 OSCEI . IA 3 E 0 U& Trass . —TotheECtor oftheJITortfern -Star . —Sir , —In slate number otihcChromde I observed an account « f a meetiDg of a society I never heard of before . Itprofessestohave for itt object the restoration ofthetithei in the hands of the lay improjiria tors . The owners are ready to sell ( not to give , but sell ) on veryadrantageoui terms these impropriutions or plnnderings . if the Church wffltuy them . Atthe head of this society is Lord Join Manners and the new-England party ; with a sprinkling of these impropriators . "Coming events , cast iheir shadows before : " this seenu to me to be one thatis too significant to let pass in an ordinary way . It seems to me that this is a deep laid scheme . These fellows , seeing thattithes will not be paid much longer , are about to makethe best bargain they can . They will sell their interest to the Church at a price proportionate to the present apparent tenure ; after that , they will when matters
get to extremes , turn round on the taw Church , and take them away , and share them ont again amongst one another . If they cannot do that , to save their estates they will appropriate them toredating the debt . I hope your readers will reflect on this . —W . GatATC . 10 , Mitre-street . New Cut Cadtioh . —Bewaie of a Scousdbel . —I would claim the indulgence of a line or two , in your widely-circulated jouTBaljtoput the public on their guard against the base and unmanly trickery of a person , passingthrougb society under the name of Dix—styling himself the author of "Life of Chatterton f Pen and Ink Sketches of Poets , Preachers and Politicians , " &c .

When asked for payment , he deferred the time , stating he had a draft oponMr Bogne , thepnblisher , of Fleetstreet which
proved to be false . Time passing on , doubts began to be entertained as to the truth of his statements , when suddenly he absconded , leaving the landlord minus his rent and board . It was then ascertained that he bad practised his trickery to an enormous extent Ho obtained from the library of a airs "Willis , a widow , boobs to the amount of upwards of two pounds , three volumes of Bnlwer ' s "Kijrht and Morning , " three ? olumes of Cooper's " Ravensnest , " &c , none of which lie returned . He also extracted from Mr Robertson , a respectable merchant of Botolph-lane , City , sums ol money , a . valuable great coat , &z . Opon making inquiries into his character , I ascertained that he had practiced these tricks upon different persons for months past Hy object , sir , in writing this , is to warn the publv against having dealings with this swindler and
robber , who is a scandal and disgrace to the' honourable profession of literature . He may be distinguished by representing himself . is being connected with all the great men of the day ; a paid correspondent to an American paper ; a constant contributor to "Punch " the "London Journal , '' "People ' s JournaL" &c , all of which I am convinced would disclaim any connection Trtth a person whowonld strive to live upon the sweat of the honest working man , and rob the widow and the fatherless . —By inserting these lines you will oblige your humble servant , Isaac B .

This . being one of the objects of ' the Association , it is necessary , in aflfording mutual assistance and protection to each other , we should be careful not to press too heavily , upon the-funds by having too many applications at the same time , and by that means defeating our own purposes , and placing additional power in the hands of manufacturers , to reduce the prices of Industry . If you desire , therefore , that the . objects of the Association should be realised , you must cheerfully and continually co-operate with the Central Committee , in carrying out the great object ' s of the unions You know , it will ever be the amount of our financial strength that must ever determine the nature and spirit of our exertions for
Labour s emancipation , and that unless our exchequer be well replenished with the accumulating pence of the members ,, the Central Committee will not . be able to grapple with . the crying evils which crush the hopes and prospects of the toiling millions : and in proportion as this is attended to , in the same proportion will the ¦ numerous trades' bodies , in connection with the NationarAssociation . increase their individual power , as anticipated by the trades when they give in their . adhesion . \ Having said thus much , we feel it to be a duty devolving upon US ; to state the present demands upon our funds , and at the same time exhort you to do all in your power to ward off the threatenings that hang over a considerable portion of bur" respective members . ¦ ¦ ¦ - ¦¦ ' '¦¦ ¦ ' .
In the first place , we have on the funds receiving weekly support a vast number , of individual cases who have been victimised for the active part they have taken in promoting the principles of the Association . It is a well-known and lamentable fact that even in our local efforts to procure the ri ghts of industry , we have had to exi . erience the bitter evils of a cruel system of victimisation—and not unfrequently has it happened that the best and truest of our members have been the unfortunate objects of ihis detestable . procedure . This system , we consider the most dastardly and revolting that can be resorted to . But it is well known that it is the object of cupidity and wrong to lay its withering hand upon the
bravest and most active in trades' unions ; to break the noblest' spirits in ¦ / society , that they may the more easily bbstruct ' the movement , and p ' aralyse the energies of the entire body ; so that when the staffs and life-giving spirits of the societies are thus crushed by the strong hand'of Capital , the great mass soon succumb to the exaction of their taskmasters , however unjust . Thus the objects are defeated , and the unfortunate victims left to be spurned from the employer's door , ; and driven to thepresence . bf a relieving officer to ' ask forbread , who brands him with union , and insultingl y . refuses his claims ; he returns to his fellow-labourers , but they for whose interests ! and welfare he has exposed his own interests , and plunged himself into difficulties from which he is unable to
extricate himself , they ; from fear , discard his company , and thus the very men whose battles he fought , and for whom he fell a victim to poverty and de r stituUon , desert and forget , and ultimately drive him to seek a place of reiugc in a more humane and hospitable ho ^ e than that which gave him birth . Now , the . Association is determined to pursue a different method . It has determined that its eligible members shall hot be suffered to sustain the untold sufferings of that blighting system of victimisation ;
For if the capitalist aims a blow at the Association , by taking advantage of and sacrificing the most active of our members , the Union will take them up , and either find them employment , or support them according to rule ; and by " , that means show employers the absurdity of imagining to destroy the National' Association , by attempting to upset ami ruin an individual belonging to our great comliination . We have numbers of ' such cases in different parts of the cbnntry who have fallen victims to this dishonourable course , adopted by some employers . t : P d
But , in addition to these cases , we have a considerable number of different trades who have been offered reductions by their employers ; but , having proceeded legally , have now turned out in defence ol the rights of Labour , and are supported from the funds , in conformity with rule . Besides these there are a great number who have been set to work , and continue working for the Association . To this we wish particularly to call your attention . We have commenced to manufacture for ourselves , and consequently we shall want a market to dispose of our goods ; and where is the market to be found ? who are to become ^ our consumers ? Tliess are questions a ° P t C V c S ^ a
which can soon be answered . The market we must create ourselves , by becoming consumers of our own manufactured goods . We cannot hope that those whose , interests are opposed to our own will assist us in carrying out our objects , by purchasing our goods . Should they do so , we will receive them cheerfully , and deal with them fairly and honour r ably . But to them we must not trust—we must consume our own goods . Each individual member must wear the Association ' s stockings , and their little ones the Association ' s socks . We must wear our own boots and shoes , and gloves and shirts . I 1 ' ' ] !
We strongly recommend to our members , the propriety of purchasing their check shirting from their own men ; we have a considerable quantity of firstva \ e quality of check shirting , such as cannot be surpassed by any shop in the kingdom . In order to assist in disposing of our goods we would also . suggest to the various district committees the propriety of appointing a responsible person , who can give the requisite security , to become the agent for the sale of goods in their : respective localities ; and by that means give facility to our commercial- enterprise , and assist in consuming the products of our own men .. ¦ : • ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦' " ¦ . ¦' . ¦ ¦ ¦; .. ; . ' I < : 1 ' 1
Another . particular subject to which we wish to direct attention , is a very important one in Manchester . The silk-pickers'in the empioy of Mr Smith of that town were offered a reduction in the price of their labour , to a considerable extent . The consequence is , the men are now on strike , and through the unavoidable connection that subsists between the trades at this firm , a number of the weavers who could not obtain warps were obliged to come out too . A . number more were offered work , providing they would weave the warps picked by ' ! Nobsticks . 'f but they very promptly declined to 8 pina rope to . hang themselves with :. and ^ onse'
quently were turned out . So that we have now on the funds , and receiving" support from this mill albneV ' upwards of a- hundred hands ; We want , therefore , the hearty response and cheerful co-operation of our members , to assist in conducting Xuis affair to a successful termination . Let us determine whether the Association is to b e put down by the attacks of capitalists ; let us show to the world that working nien are fixed , by legal and constitutional means , to protect the rights of Industiy . The demands of the men are just and equitable , such us no rational man , with the least spark of Christian philanthropy , - ' would object to concede to . . We hove rip ilUwillto Mr Siuith , nor to any other manufacturer ' in the kingdom . Our object is to
conserve the rights and protect the interests of just and honourable employers , as well as that of the men . We are not ignorant of the fact , that an unprin- 1 cipled employer will so reduce his men , as to ! execute orders , and supply the market with goods at a considerably lower price than the more honourable " employer , who is not desirous to take the least advantage of his workmen . ; But when his neighbour is enabled to get up the same work so much cheaper than himself , it . is impossible for him to compete in the same market ; he is , therefore , in many instances } compelled ,, 'through his dishonourable neighbour , to take steps towards 'his men which his own heart and nature recoils from ; 1 and employers are beginning to see that the Na «

tjonal Association will enable them , by . the co-operation of their men , to beat down that low and covetous spirit that characterises the ' generality of un-PMopwJ employers . But to return to Mr Smith ' s men . This gentleman asserts that he is giving a higher pnee than 6 orae of his neighbours ; but we beg to remind him- that for some articles he in T 211 * T ? price ' 'w noting is he E 1 % ! PTICe ; de P ' Uation has ** && upon « SJSt ? ? ji ° adjUSlin 8 this mattcr , whomhe JShSSJ-W ^ treatc d them Courteously , but he could not be induced to accede to th <> requests of the men . The eo ^ tt ^ &i are obhged to contest the question wth t 5 employer , and it is for the members to iay I 0 !
whether the men shall hP ^ ... Sy whether the men shall be aided by vour spirited co-operation , and show to employers the folly of attempting to do battle with the strong hand of a National Association of Workine Mpn We would tell Mr Smith and all other employers that the working classes have learned a better me- ' thod of managing their own affairs than the old isol lated system , that has invariably suffered the price of labour to degenerate to a fearful ratio , while it has been investing ; the capitalist with additional power to crush . the surviving , though enervated , energies of the toiling millions . But such things must be so ne longer . ; i Working men are taking a clearer and wiser view of their own concerns , and adopting the most effective means to enhance their
individual interests and their national independence , —• and our concluding advice is , be firm , —let no power shake your confidence , —continue in the good cause , and victory , full and entire , shall crown our laudable exertions . '

Messrs Robsdn , \ Villiarnson ,. and Parker , severally entered into details , to the satisfaction ot the audience . Resolutions approving of the Association were carried
unanimously . Several questions were put to Messrs Robson and Williamson , as members of the Central Committee , by a portion of the hands in the employ of Mr'Clark , who is endeavouring to force a reduction in prices , as to their not being supported . MessraR , arid W . answered because ihpy had struck without the sanction of . the Central Committee , a course of procedure , they , would always set : their faces against , as being subversive of all order and regularity , and froim other causes . The answers appeared to give satisfaction to the audience . Votes of thanks were passed to MrDuncombe , the Northern Star , and the deputation , and a resolution , that a \ l power-loom weavers who wished to join should meet in the hall on the following Friday . The meeting then adjourned .
The Manchester District Committee met as usual at the Railway Inn , Deaiisgatej on Wednesday evening . Messrs Parker and Bailey were appointed a sub-committee to conduct the ., affairs jri connection with ; the differences existing between Mr Smith and his hands , who are receiving support from the central cornmittee , jn consequence of the * failure of all other attempts at reconciliation . It is to be hoped that all trades in arrears will forward their levies to enable the central committee to meet this and many other demands .

THE C 0 MB-MAKER 9 OP SHEFFIELD AND THB : ; : . NATIONAL TRADES ! UNION . ., i A meeting of the boily of conlb-mtiker * in Sheffield connected with ' tbo local trade uniou ,-nr » s held on Tuesday evening last , at the Parrot Inu , Sheffield Moor , for the purpose of hearing an ad'lrt-ss upou the principles nnd tendency of the National . Trades ' 1 UnloM . It was expected that Mr . Robson , a deputation from the na . ci'iuul body in London , would have been present , but being unavoidably detnlned in Manchester , Mr Georgt Hall , of Cornhill , Sheffield , . an operative , was in attendance to givnthe roquUite information . The chnit' « ns taken by Mr John Uodkin , who briefly explained the obi-ct of the m « UaR .
MtOeoboe Hall commenced his address by stating that Mr Robson had been called to Manchester , on Saturday morning , to take the place of Mr Williamson / one of the Central Committee , who had heen down there from London , arbitrating a dispute on the part of some workmen , but who had been prevented by . illness from Dairying the urbitration oii . Although he could not pretend to' know so much of the association as Mr Hobson , who had been connected with it from the commencement , yet he hoped they would excuse his attempt to explain its constitution and objects , ( Hear , hear . ) He observed that Willum Howitt , an authority recognised by working men , suid ,, the tendency of society on the one hand was to accumulate wealth—to createa number of capitalists , —while on the other hand was extreme
povertyand wretchedness ; aud that the only remedy for thU state of thing a was co operation on the part of the work ing classes , in order to secure that' which the higher classes had secured in the shape of capital , —namely , to secure capital for thernseUea in the shape of wages . ( Hear . ) . If they looked around them , they found that those trade ' s , in which the . most improvement had been made in the mode and facility of production were in the most depressed condition , and the reason was because capital had enabled masters to take advantage of those improvements ; consequently the remuneration of the wnrkimn bBcanib gradually diminished , and society in ueneral was injured ; proving that instead of such changes being for the . benefit of . the whole ,. they wera calculated to injure . to impair , and to destroy . Seeing
, this state of thing ' s , local unions had been formed , ami Sheffu-M had endeavoured to improve her condition by doinj ; » o . According to the intelligence and thepractioal information they had , they thought union and co-operatien would prevent the evils which « eemtd ready to overcome thrm .. Shenicld hud shown ai > fair a specimen of union a * e . T . « T Uiii « s « tsd in Vtao Ciiiumry . Bat wben they took , a . retrortpoct , of the loenl unions they might say that they had ' universally " , fallef . Any reasonable man would ask why they . had . filled ! ' What had been' the ; primary ' . cause t ' First , ' ho would say , the reason was ^^ ^ because production had / never been regulated according to the ' de ' mand . " ' Unless : this n ; as done , iio inntter in what tratle ^ t miglit' be , , ' they / oiild ' not maintain the particular prices they would wish to obtain ,
becauie It was the natural tendency of the production exceeding th ' e demand that there . should be , u , glut ' in a utarket , " and . there being' such , glut , working ! men could riot pretend ' to gut ' so much for their labour' as when the demand was tqu ' ai to the ' . supply . ' | Thisha ' dbeen the case with all trades , e ^ jiept'these which '' were confined to few hands , » ndth ^ was an artifici al '' state of things . which , would soon bo put an , end to , if the population went ^ ji . uiultiplying . as at present . Though there , miglit be ^ j ^ rades in . which . a iimiied' mumbe ' r were employed , yet look at the aprin ' g ^ knife trade , ' for instance , how . eadly their wages had bl-en reduced in
consequence of a superabundance of bands in the market to perform the labour required ! M'CullocU , MaUUua , ana most of the political economists , taught them that , whenever trade was to be made profitable at a time that the number of hands ready to do certain work exceeded the number , necessary to do it , the oaly plan toi adopt . was to give u new direction to labour ,, What had they found in past timo-i ? . Tiiking the case of the combmakers , had they , not seen the mere change « f fashion or alteration of custom j ^ ive a severe shock to their interests , by throwing n great number of men out of ; employment ? . When such aciisis took place , those poor meu had boeu left to wiuider about iiuaided and with
none to guido them , unless , perchance , tho capitalist should be lookliig out , anxious to take advantage of the surplus labour thus muted . Was it not appareut / then , that the working classes required to have some power in the State to guide and assist them in cases . of difH . cuty , aud to curry out tho recommendations of thoio po . litioal . economists Ue had alluded to , in giviug a new direction to tho labour of those who mi ght be thro * n out of employinent !

( Hear ' hear . ) - The reDiori why he wag an * admirer ot thU inl stltutibn was because it enabled the working classes to secure a fair remuneration ; for . their labour by moral means .. The interestl of all their class were identified , and unless all the workmen connected wlthia particulur tra 4 e entered , the asweiatton , raduction of ' pticu would still exist , however they might struggle . If , out of 1150 men belonging toa . branci ) , 50 refused to join , they would be it drag upon the others and prevent prices being im . proved . Unless there was a co-operation of the whole , their progress would be frustrated . They had always told the masters and the world at large that they would be content to be the employed , and the capitalist to be the employer ; but this association exhibited to them a new state of things . It taught them the way in which
to secure a fair , remuneration for their labour which was their right , and to secure it in a fair and honourable way , without compulsion on their part , but by means of selt . cmployment , ( Hear , hear . ) An attempt had been made to take advantage ' of the framework-knitters in Nottingham . . They belonged to toe National Association , and applied to the Central ' Committee for assistance , A deputation was sent down to endeavour , to . dissuade the employers from making the threatened reduction , out it was useless to attempt an arbitration with them , the association then determined to employ the ^ en themselves .

Another and not an inferior objeot of the association was the moral elevation of thoso Who belonged te it .

M r Hiill then went OB to read « . trails from the la&t roport of the association , elucidating some of its operations , He explained also how the financial affairs wore conducted , and informed . the meitiftg that each trade was allowed to return ite own average receipt of wages , twopence in the pound per member , upon which was charged for contrilutlons , and in case of a strike a man who had returned his average wages at £ 1 would receive 12 s .

He concluded by saying that to their
improve condition satisfactorily they must do it themselves . ( Hear , heur . ) . To do it successfully mustbo the result of tbeii own efforts , and they had the power if they would but use it in a proper manner . They wart the producers of everything . The masters wereonlj the holders of capital . The working men were the pro . ducers of wealth and everything which was consumed , but even while they did this they were the slavesof rather than the masters over what they did produce . It might be said that the plan of the National Association wat Utopian—that there was no reality in it ; but those who said so he would ask to propound something better . Reason dictated that plan to be the best at present , and therefore they ought to act upon it , seeiag that they had be « u too long slaves instead of masters . ( Applause . )
The CH 4 JB 1 UN said Mr Hall was desirous of answering any questioa which the meeting might think proper to put , and he begged there might be no reserve ia making inquiries upon points which might not appear to have ) been sufficiently explained . ¦ . .

THE TRUCK SYSTEM IN STAFFORDSHIRE . ( From the Miners' Advocate . ) There is a " monster evil" that deserves exposurenamely , the swindling , illegal , truck , or tommy-shop system ; and we now propose to ' examine its workings and effects . We may remark , en passant , that the track system is not confined to Staffordshire , it is practised in a small degree in Lancashire , by some coal mas * ters or their dependants ; in Yorkshire , Derbyshire . Ac . ; and to a great extent , among some of the - coal and iron-works in Scotland and Wales . Most of our readers will know what the truck system is . The practice is to open a shop , and to supply the colliers with flour , meal , groceries , meat , and even shoes , hats , and all kinds of wearing apparel . These shops
are kept by the masters , or parties who are acting " under the rose" tor them ; The goods are charged at these " tomtny-shopa" generally about 20 pot cent , above the market price , and are almost invariably of an interior quality , and the workmen are compelled , either dik-ctly or indirectly , to deal at such shops ; while , in many instances , the wages of the colliers are stepped in payment for such goods . To such an extent is this scandalous practice carried on , that colliers have been , tor months together , without a penny of wages ! If they wanted any article not sold at" the shop" they were compelled to exchange " tommy" tor it ; it' they had the rent , the doctor , or the shoemaker to par . they were compelled to pay them in " goods ' . " We may be told that the practice in unlawful- that tbe parties who
keep these shops , and supply their workmen iwith goods , subject themselves to heavy penalties . Granted . But who so well knows how to evade the law , t » r slyly to cieep through an Act of Parliament , as a coal-master ? We niay here remark , that to the honour of coal-owners in Northumberland and Durham , the infamous practice is not followed there . Tho plan adopted to evade the law is , to put Another party in " the shop" to keep it . in their name , and as they know the Act of Parliament insists , that workmen's wages shall be paid in the current coin of the realm , they pay them in a room beyond the shop , and , as they pass through , they have to hand it over to the shopman ! That is , ilny have the honour to have possession of their wages about fivo minutes , often ; not two !
We observed in our last that thero were about 21 , 000 miners in Staffordshire ; suppose eight thousand out of the twenty-four are compelled to den ) afe theBe " tommy-shops , " and . that they ! only expend ten shillings per week , and that the profit derived from the Bbbp amounted' to only twenty per cent . ; but we have documents lying ; before us proving that they often realise much more . However , say i twenty , per cent . This is five years would amount to the enormous sum of £ 208 , 0001 Thus , in a few years , the truek masters would realize retiring fortunes , all , be it remembered , screwed out of tbe hard-earned pittance of the unfortunate collier . But why talk of ttieiir expend tug only 10 a . per week , when it is well-known that all
the men's wages are swaljowed up by the unsatisfied truck master t Need we ask , is it possible for the colliers to improve their condition while they are chained down bysuoh a swindling system as this ? Improvement under suehcircumstances is impossible : that is , permanent improvement . This horrid incubus muBt be shook off—this blood-sucking Vampire must Le destroyed ; the law must be obeyed before w » can expect to improve-healthily improve-the colliers condition . Miners of Staffordshire' ! can you contentedly , passively , allow yourselves to'be thus robbed , your rights to be trampled upon , and yet call yourselves Englishmen ? Do jou not know that Union alone can successfully grapple with " truckshops , " and every other evil wider which you suffer , atd by which you are bound down ; jour
improvement impeded ; and your best friends' exertions to ameliorate your condition paralysed ? Can you sea your children ; the wives of your bosom , thus basely robbed , and insulted too . without an effort on your part to save and protect them ? What ! because your former Unions have been painful failures on account of the basis upon whiohthey were founded , or from their local and sectional character , ave you never to try agaiu to stem the mountain torrent of oppression 1 Will you sit down with folded arms , and cowardlj allow iron-hoofed tyranny to ride unresistingly ovei you ? 1 ) 0 you not know that few , even in a goud and holy cause , are seldom successful in the first trial- " that to obtain aucce 89 in any great movement , pru « dence , confidence , juatioe , and , above all , union and peraeveranoe , are necessary ? Then , once more U the rescue ! Once more join the Miners' Association ,
