Lekds . —Redemption Soctjitt . —On Wednesday evening week , a meeting of the above society took place in the large room connected with Hall ' s Temperance Hotel , Heaton ' fi-yard , Brijgate . Mr D . Green was called to the chair , who stated that the object of the meeting was to inform the members that an exceedingly suspicions event had occurred lince he hut had the pleasure of addressing them , which wa 3 nothing less than the gift of an estate worth £ 5 , 000 , by a gentleman in Sonth Wales . The estate consisted of 225 acres of land of excellent quality , which is proved by the heavy crops now growing npon it . It is situated in Carmarthenshire , and from its proximity to good roads , a canal , coal within 300 yards , which might be conveyed down an
inclined plane to the estate , and with iron , lime , and stone in the immediate neighbourhood , rendered it extremely desirable for the establishment of a community . ^ After stating the immense advantages a community of property had oTer other forms of society , and its influence in advancing the science » f cultivation , he called upon Mr Hole to move the first resolution , sanctioning the acceptance of the estate . Mr Hole was struck with the extremegenerosity evinced by the donor , and thought that such conduct ought to be emulated by all present . He would , however , caution the members in not placing the society in a false position , which would be the
case U they merely voted without each using his best exertions to raise a competent Bum . The donor ought not to be trifled with , and therefore urged each one present to do his beet . Everything depended open energy and determination . If the principles which they advocated were true , they were most important , and it was a poiat of duty to ourselves and mankind to spare no exertions to realise them . The meeting was afterwards addressed by Messrs Gartide , Smith , EogleEton , West , and Hehson . Sab . Bcnptions were then entered Into , which amoented to £ 150 , to be paid by instalments . Thanks were given to the chairman and donor , and the meeting terminated at half-past ten o ' clock .

The coroner , having returned from viewing the body , observed that the state of the court was most horribly offensive , and was calculated to generate fever to a fearful extent . The jury quite agreed with the coroner . They observed three cesspools in the court , which emitted a dreadful stench . Mr Liddle , one of the surgeons of ihe Whitechapel onion , stated that he was glad that the attention of the jury Lad been drawn to the state of that court , as ferer was spreading in that neighbourhood to an
alarming extent . There was not a court , lane , or alley between Roiemary-lane and the London Docks bu , in whieh in nearly every house there was fever . A day or two ago he attended six cases in one court , and in one week he had sixty new casee .

TbB Attorney . General . MrWaddJngton . andMrClark . appeared for the Crowa . The prisoner was defended by KrClsrksonaudMrBodkio . The Attorney General stated the case . The circumstances were certainly ef a most painful and distrening character . The prirongr was a gentleman who bore a high character ior valour and good conduct , and by his merit , had succeeded in obtaining the rank of adjutant mtheregimeutoi Royal Horse Guard . ; and the unfortunate deceased was also a gentleman who had distin . gniehed himself highly in the servieeof his country , and he had likewise , chiefly by his own merit , obtained the rankof Lieutenant-Colonel in the 55 th Regiment of Foot These gentleman had married two sisters , and it would appear that there had been some family differeaces
between them , to which he should not any further allude because they did not at all aftvet the present inqairy ! and could not offer any extenuation of the act imputed to the prisoner . It appeared that on the Friday before the 1 st of July , there had been a dispute betweea the deceased and the prisoner , and the result was that a hostile meeting took place betweea them in a field near tha Brecknock Arms , at Islington , and there , no doubt , the unfortunate deceased , Colonel Fawcatt , met his death , by a shot fired by the prisoner . The injury was not immediately mortal , but the unfortunate deceased lingered two or three days , and then expired . He assured them that , these being the facts of the case he had looked most anxiously through the evidence , to see if there was any chance of his escape
from a charge of murder , andheknew that the jury as gentlemen and men of honour , would anxiously do the same , but he feared that the evidence wonld not admit of any doubt upon the point . lie should call as witnesses persons who were actually presentat the procted . tng , and hie duty would also compel him to call as a witness the gentleman who acted as second to Colonel Fawcett , who would prove that the parties met in deadly coaflict , and that they saw the prisoner level the deadly weapon , discharge it , and observed the fatal result . The present law might probabl y have hitherto been found insufficient to wpress offmee * of this detcripUon , and ome alteration might possibl y be advisable ; but it appeared tofcim that the degradation of a conviction npon such a charge , would must likely be found sufficient to deter others from committing them in future .
Ib support of his statement , Dr Gulliver , who was called in by Lieut . Munro to attend in his professional capacity ; Major Cuddy , the second of Colonel Fawcctf Charles Longman , the coachman to Lieut . Munro ; and Dr Liston , the surgeon , who attended the deceased , were examined . 3 > r Gnllirer , in his evidence In chief , stated that Lieut . Munro charged Colonel Fawcett with 'levelling on him ; ' in his cross examination , he explained that term , and also some circumstances connected with the case generally .
By the expression 'levelling ; I understand that Lieutenant Munro accused Colonel Fawcett of deliberately levelling at and covering him with his pistol , instead of firing immediately the signal was given . I expected Colonel Fawcett would have died almost immediately , but he rallied , ana it waa then that he told the policeman it was an accident . The dsceased must have had arm raised at the time he received the wound , snd this wa . clearl y shown by the appearance of the skin . I heard Mr Munro say on shaking hands with Colonel Fawcett' God bless you , Fawcett ; I forgive yoa . ' The regiment was abont to change its quarters on the morning in question . Upon my firet refusal Lieut . Munro implored me to go with him to the extremity , and he said he had been very ill-used . He appeared to be in a state of the greatest anxiety and despondency , and certainly did not appear to be actuated by
anynndictive feeling . Ho intimated that he had been grosslj insulted In the presence of the servants , but said he should be satisfied wita the . hadow of an apology . In the army he was considered a mild , inoffensive man , and the last man who would have sought a quarrel and he appeared in this case to hope that the matter might be settled without coming to any mischief . His father rose from the ranks by his bravery , and led the forlorn hope at the storming of Seringapatam . Lieut . Munro was not a man of fortune , and he bad risen entirely by his own merit , and had universally the reputation of being a distinguished officer , and a mild , humane , and benevolent man . He has a wife audsix children , all of them daughter * , I bditv * . By his absence without leave he has lost his commission , which was worth £ 2 , 880 or ^» , 800 ; and I believe has been redueed to great poverty .
Ke-eiamined : I believe he left the country after this unfortunate occurrence . The-Attorney-General said , the fact he believed was that Lieut ; Mnnro had retnrned to England of his own accord , and -voluntarily surrendered himself . Major Caddy , after obtaining from the court an assurance that his answers should not criminate himself , gaveafuUaeconatcfthe transaction , as far as he was concerned . After describing the manner In which he was brought into the affair , and on the field , be said : —I had a case of pistols , and to the best of my recollection one wai loaded by Mr Grant and another by myself . Mr Grant then measured U paces ; they were very long . Mr Grant then placed Lieutenant Munro in the position he
was to stand , and 1 took up Colonel Fawcett ; and it was agreed the signal was to be ' Gentlemen , are you ready ? Fire ! ' Mr Grant gave that signal , and almost instantaneously afterxards a shot was fired by Mr Hunro . AlmoBt immediately Colonel Fawcett fired , and Mr Munro exclaimed— ' Bid you see it ? he covered me as dead as possible ; be intended to shoot me . ' Colonel Faweett replied , ' No , I did not . 1 never intended to fire . ' Lieutenant Munro came up and tried to shake bands with Colontl Fawcett , at the same time saying , ' Fawcett , 1 forgive yen , ' and immediately afterwards left the ground with Lieutenant Grant . I asuBted to convey Colonel Fawcett to some public house , where be was refused admittanoe , and I then went to fetch Sir B . Brodie .
Mr Clarkson put several questions , with the view of showing that Colonel Fawcett had previously been engaged in duels , that officers had been dismiised from the army for not restating an intuit , and the absence of all malice on the part of the prisoner , but they were overruled by the court . Mr Clarksoa made an able defence—and then called as witnesses to character , the Eirl of March , the Earlof ArundeI , MrRoss , amerchaBt , Dr Rutherford , the Marquess of Anglesey , Colontl Bouverio , LordGeorg « Manners , Mr Percival , formerly an officer in the regiment and a corporal and private , all of whom gave the prisoner the highest character for humanity , kindness , and inoffeasireness of disposition .
Colonel Bouverie : I command the regiment of Blue ! . The prisoner has been in it more than 21 years . I was with the regiment at Waterloo , I have known the prisoner 24 or 25 years . His conduct as aa officer and a gentleman wa . under my notice , and 1 consider it unexceptionable in every particular . He was not at all ad . dieted to quarrel . Thomas Kidd , a private in the regiment , . aid he knew the prisoner when he wae * non-conunissionsd officer . lie said thai a kinder man never breathed tVaa ihe prisoner , and that was Mb general character in the regiment . The Attorney General then . aid , that in the capacity of publio prosecutor , and appearing for the Crown , hebad the right of reply to the speech of the prisoners couniel ; but , as he felt that this case wVrala rest entirely upon the direction of his lordship in point of law , he should not exercise the right in thia instance , butfhould leave the case in the hand , of his lordship and of the jury .
Mr Jostle * E&le then summed up . The priioner was charged with the offence of murder , in having killed another in a duel , and , notwithstanding the observations that had been made by tha learned couniel for the prisoner with regard to tliel-w upon thii question , he was bound to tell them that it was undoubtedly the law of Eogland , and had been ie from time immimorial , that if two person , went out deliberately , and armed with deadly waapous , for the purpose of fighting a duel , if one of them was killed the survivor wasguilty of murder . This was the law of ihe case , and it wai their duty to apply the facts to the law so stated without reference to the interest of either party , and he was sure they would feel that the interest , of truth were by far the moat important consideration . The duty of the
jury was to act npon the law as laid down by competent authority , aad tae hlgheatinterei ' s of sociity demanded that thej lhouldooio , and that they sbould not be led away or induced to act upon any impression of what they considered the law ought to be . Thelearned jnrtg * then alladed to the evidence , and said that if they entertained any reasonable donbt that the prisoner * , wa . the haad that caused the death of tha deceased , thty wonld of course give him the benefit oily , tat , if they thought the facts were proved , in law the offence wai complete . The ptisoner bad received a very hi gh ehartcttr such an one , indeed , as he had seldom bean ) given to any man ; but , although this would be most important in a doubtful case , yet in one where the charge was clearly made oat , itoagfat not to have any effect upon the decision of the jury .
The Jury then retired , and wai absent abeut a quarter of an hour , when they returned into court and gave their verdict finding the prisoner guilty , but at the same time atrongly recommended him to the merciful contidiration of the court . HU Lords bip then addressed the prisoner , and said that the jury had felt themselves compelled to return a vetdict of guilty against him , but they bad accompanied it mtb arKM »»« tf « to 8 to Btrcj , •*! , wafer all cir .

^ 1 THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND . « Her Illustrious Majesty' and 'Field-Marshal ' Prince Albert are just now pic-nicing in Scotland , giving occasion for the fooleries usual on such occasions . On her way to ' the land o ' cakes / the Queen ' honoured' land of leeks with a passing call . On Sunday the' royal squadron' reached Caernarvon . The Queen did not land , but Prince Albert paid a visit to the Menai Suspension Bridge . Her Majesty appeared on deck and took a Bketch of the bridge . She was plainly attired in a black dress , straw honnet , and brown veil ; and the tw <) royal children were seen playing around her . She was hailed b y hearty eheering , moderated by the fact only that it was Sunday ! ' Goodness gracious 1 The squadron moored for the night off Puffin Island ; the Queen having been previously presented with a very puffing " address" from the Msyor of Caernarvon .
On Monday the squadron arrived at the Isle of Man . ' Her Majesty did not land at the island , which was a source of great disappointment to many persons who had anticipated the honour oi a royal visit . ' « The governor of the island went out to meet her Majesty , and presented an address from the inhabitants , but we understand the royal fleet had got in motion before he succeeded in coming up witu it , ar . d consequently failed in his mission . " Alas ! poor noodle 1 We take the following extracts from the' Morning Chronicle ' : —
Gbebsock , MiHWT EvB » iKo . —This has been a day of Bad . disappointment in the Clyde . It is evening now , and not only is there no Q , ueen , but no sign of her coming . The forty thousand sight-seers who left Glasgow this morning are crowding back as fast as railway carriages will convey theao , or quarreling in Greenock for the few pounds of beef steak or mutton chop which had survived the mighty demand of hungry pleasure parties ; while the half hundred steamers which this morning started from the Bromielaw , gay with flags and garlands , are pad . diing disconsolately homewards , having been unable in their long day ' s cruise to descry the royal fleet , ' because ' twas not in sight . ' Dozens of steamers have lost a day ' s plying , thousands of propJe have lounged for a livelong twelve hours under a burning sun—but in vain . —[ Pom Silly . Bodies !] On thb Clyde , Tuesdat Amernoon .
Yesterday 1 had little but disappointment to write about ; to-day toga , miBts , and vapours . Notwithstanding , the Queen is in the Clyde . It is understood that the royal squadron passed last night in Loch Ryan , whither one or two of the most adventurous river boats managed to attain ; thia cuterprising portion oi the Glasgowsqnadron beingheaded by the Thetis—the crack boat of the Clyde—freighted with the whole array of the Glasgow bailies , and a perfcOily fabulous number of bottles of champagne , whereof , when rumours were yesterday circulated , certain thrifty citizens , who had not been invited , spoke iu terms of great and virtuous indignation , as a ' gross an' wilfu' wastry 0 ' the eeety and the corporation founds . ' The above reporter gives a long account of the vast turn-out by land and water of
, * Fools who came to make , or see the show ' for which we cannot afford room . After paying due respect to the rock of Dumbarton , the Queen paid a visit to Loch Lung , returning from which , the squadron stood away in the direction of Rothesay Bay .

Thk Fsvsr Victims . —The wives and children of the parochial and relieving officers who have died of fever caught in the discharge of their duties during the present year , are not to be forgotten . A representation made to government has not been without effect ; for , although Sir G . Grey declined to introduce a bill authorising payments to the widows and orphans out of the poor-rates , yet he has declared the intention of government , when applied to through the poor-law commissioners , to consider eyety case on its merits . A schedule , containing the names of fifteen victims of fiver , has been forwarded to the poor-law commissioners , and it is understood that allowances will be apportioned in each case to the fanilies of thosa who have perished in administering relief to the deceased and the wretched , Aaong them are the widows of four surgeons .
Earthquake in Spain . —An earthquake shook the south of Spain at half-past eleven on the night of the 28 th . Letters from Seville , Cordoba and Jaen , report shocks at the same moment . A communication was made , seme short time ago , to the French Institute , about what was called huile aux pieires . The oil is perfectly clear and transparent , does not soil , and yields a flame of intensity and clearness . A company which has been formed ior the manufacturing of this mineral oil , possesses , in the vicinity of Autun , inexhaustible strata of rock , from which are extracted other valuable substances , as a sort of grease , tar , ammeniacal water , and paxraffme .

This Association is one that requires time toarow and s rengtheu . It is yet but the acorn bulging K from the earth , which , in after times , will spread its branches over the injured and oppressed part of the community . Its foliage will protect the weak from the burning touch of the oppressor ' s rod , and ( rive newhfeand vigour to the sons of toil . Thetradei must not expect impossibilities—the world wa » not made in a day , or science full y appreciated . The , Association is yet in a state of embryo , yet what wonders it has effected—it has been the means of alleviating distress , and withstanding t pr * T \ blash u has healed ^ woundi of the afflicted , and given succour to the oppressed
. It has filled up the breaches that have been caused by the rashness of parties who could effect no reconciliation among themselves . It is the peacemaker—not the warrior—it seeks not to destroybut build up—it hates hatred , and abhors maliceits aim is justice to ell , injustice to none . But to effect all , time must be given . It is like ourselves ; it must be wellnursed , before it will be able to withstand the epidemic diseases men and association ! are subject to in their infancy . Bad nursing produces deformity and general weakness ; this we must avoid , and especially , when poverty stalks through the land , apparently . in triumph , over honest industry .
Therefore , we do hope that the trades themselves will assist us in giving sufficient nutriment , and prevent heavy burdens being placed upon the Association at one time . It is not policy . to go to war with the whole world at once , but a wise general would concentrate bis forces upon one or more points , according to the number of his men—for it is easy to take an array into the field—but , in many cases , a dangerous experiment . We are already affording assistance to many persons who are suffering , from some shape or other , under the lash of great capitalists j and we must support them until reason , rules , and justice is administered .
One large firm m the north of England seeks to crush the poor , but unity of purpose and of action will prevent his wily schemes being brought to perfection . We do not court his favours—but we are sorry that his obstinacy should be the better part of his valour . We do not desire him to act differently to other men , and , if he thinks so , he is grievously mistaken . We want justice for the men , and his own rights and privileges protected . Property has its duties as well as its rights 'two great principles whieh should not be violated . If the rights of capital attempt to supersede its duties , it is nothing but justice that an intermediate power should step in between them as mediators , and harbingers of peace .
Solomon says there is a time for everything—let us hope the time is come for a settlement of the difference between the Manchester employer and his workmen . Again we say PEACE , but on honourable terms .
HOLYTOWN EJECTMENTS .-OPPRESSION RAMPANT . Working men of Great Britain andjlreland—2 , 000 of your fellow-creatures are suffering the deepest misery at Holytown , Thankerton , and surrounding villages . The charming faces of the villagers' wives are turned into mourning and despair . The families deprived of a home to shelter them from the pitiless storm ; yes , turned out of their homes , men , women , and children , nothing but the cold earth for a pillow and Heaven their only canopy .
The ruthless hand of oppression has fallen upon them like the sword of death ; yes , many would prefer death to such treatment . What is their offence ? Because they will not tamely submit to a reduction of Is . per day . The question is with you , you the operatives of all trades and of all classes , it is in your hands , will you allow it , or will you allow the men , their wives , and their little innocent babes to suffer ? forbid it men , forbid it people . Baird ' s-square , ' or Tbankerton , which is
surrounded with beautiful scenery , is desolate , the whole of the inhabitants with the exception of the sick have been ruthlessly ejected , Will you give them no succour ? no relief ? We hope you will . There must not be an hour lost ; agents , secretaries , officers of all descriptions , be up and doing , raise subscriptions in all your towns and trades to assist the weak against the strong . Read the underneath appeal and . spread it far and near , their cause is your cause , as Solon says , ' He that injures one man insults the whole community . '
The rich capitalist or coal kings , as they are technically termed , are generally millionaires , men who enter into business with little conscience and end with none . Their principle is—get , honest if you can , but get . We feel deeply sensible of the present position of many trades , we know they are working for small earnings , but thanks , they are not in the open air , they are not exposed to the cold rains and dews of night , nor to the winds and scorching sun of day .

A strike of an important character occurred among the miners of llnlytown aome eight weeki ago , which has not yet been adjusted . The cause of the said strikers briefly as follows : —On the 29 th of Mcy last , the iron masters of Lanarkshire gave notic& to ] their workmen that in ' four weeks , they intended taking one shilliug per day off their wa ; es . This redaction the miners conceived to be unjust , and therefore determined to resist it , for the following reaaonB : — ht . Because when they obtained an advance of wages , it waa reluctantly given them in small Bums
at a time . 2 ndly , Because the reduction in the prices of iron did not warrant any such reduction in their wages . It would appear the employers had cnlculatcd . that from the high price of the provision market , and the scarcity of food in Scotland , that the miners would be compelled to subnc it to any terms that were offered them . In this , however , they have been diiappointed . On the 26 th of June , ( the day on which the warnings were carried into effect , ) the miners , to the numbers of nearly 2000 , in the Holytown district , turned out , 600 of whom belonged to , and were clear members of the National Association of United Trades .
Mr Peel , a member cf the Central Committee , visited the miners of Holytown at the commence ' ment of their strike , and , according to uppearancee at that period , an arrangement seemed certain , which is the reason the Central Committee did not at an earlier period bring the case before the public . The miners were willing to make a small concession for the sake of peace ; but the employers would not come to anv other termB than th » t which they at
first proposed , although the price of iron lias risen considerably in the market since the commencement of the strike , vnd in order to compel the workmen not only to accept tho proposed reduction of wages , but also to renounce all union , these powerful ca < pitaliste had recourse to the extraordinary aud cruel measure of ejecting the poor colliers , their wives , children , and furniture , from their dwelling-houses ; and no less than about 800 families in the Holy town district "ere tbustomtd out to the aero / , of the

Central Committee to . take up theoause of these oppressed men , and to do all in their power to enable them to obtain an honourable adjustment ef their claims . The Central Committee , therefore , earnestly call udoh tho trades fenerally to come forward in aid of these ill-used , but bwve men , who have been eight weeks out of employment , and four weeka out of their homes . # To those t » adea who are connected with the Nn . tional Association , tho Central Committee would submit that , unless they wish to Bee the strong arm of tho capitalist lop off one of the best branches of the Association , they will immediately . forward , not only subscriptions in aid of their deserving brethren of "Holytown , but immediately remit their arrears to the funds of the Association .
The Central Committee beg also to express a hope , that those trades who do not belong to the Aisociation , will teatify their abhorrence of tho tyranny to which the miners have been subjected , by forwarding their subscriptions to the Central Committee , in order that they may enable the miners to maintain their position , and eventually bring their present Btrike to a satisfactory and honourable close . The number of miners on strike in the Holytown district is 2 , 000 . The number belonging to the National Association is 600 , and the number of families ejected are 800 .
It is deserving of rernurk , that not one individual out of the whole number baveBigned the ' Docu . mint , ' or given way to the terras of the employers ; but all remain firm to their cause , amid the privation which they must necessarily have to endure . It is particularl y requested that the officers of all tradei * societies will take the most active means of bringing this appeal before their respective bodies , with a view of immediately raising funds to alleviate the distvesi of the miners , and teach the capitalists that ' Property has its duties as wall as its rights . ' n « member , friendB , what is their fate to day , may be yours to-morrow . Be up and doing , for delayB are dangerous . By order of the Central Committee , Thomas Babbati , Secretary .

A mass of correspondence has been received , and they trust that those parties who have not yet been answered , will allow a day or two in consequence of the heavy business of the week—and a . portion of the Central Committee being out in the country on business of great importance .
Edinburgh . —Mr W . Robson , member of the Central Committee , attended here during the last week on a question of vital importance , connected with the independence of the people and the rights of union . For some time the Plumbers' Society , in connection with the association , considered they were working below the market price of labour in that locality , consequently solicited their employers for a small advance of wages and a settlement of other grievances , a part of which tho masters acceded to , while other parts they strenuously op . posed , —and determined , no doubt , in the heat of passion , to discharge , and for ever abandon , all workmen who belonged to trades' societies .
This resolution they carried into effect for three weeks , without the remotest chance of an amicable adjustment . In this state of affairs the Central Committee of United Trades despatched Mr Robson here , who , by his timely interference and manly demeanour towards all parties , has effected an adjustmentof the principal grievances they complained of , much to the satisfaction of all concerned . No person can imagine the gratification expressed on the settlement of this knotty point . The trades here are indebted to the Central Coraraitte for the
truly honourable manner in which they acted in this matter—although there were many difficulties in the way for some time , in consequence of a misunderstanding between the parties concerned . After settling some other bminess , Mr R . started for Glasgow and Holy Town , where it is hoped he will be equally as successful in his usefulness to society . Messrs Green and Winters attended the hearthrug makers of the borough of Southwark , on Tuesday evening , and explained the objects , principles , and constitution of the association .
Several questions were asked , and satisfactorily answered . They agreed to join the association . Mr Peel reported having attended a public meeting in the large room in the Bazaar , Briggate , Leeds , on Tuesday evening . The meeting had been postponed in consequence of the excitement created by the election . The large room was densely crowded . The chair was taken a few minutes after eipht by Mr Hinchcliffe , tailur , who , after an appropriate address , introduced Mr Peel , who was greeted with much applause . He entered into a
lengthened explanation of the principles and objects of the association , showing its applicability to every class and section of working men , demonstrated by illustrations drawn from his own experience as to if s great moral influence in preventing , or amicably adjusting , disputes between employers and employed , and augured from past successes a progress distinguished by the most important and beneficial results to its members . He concluded- an address which was listened to with the greatest attention amidst general applause .
He attended on the 12 th a meeting of the mechanics , in the large room connected with Hall ' s Temperance Coffee House , a most respectable and selec t- , though not a numerous meeting , assembled to hear the principles , and to receive such explanations as might be calculated to remove any mistakes or prejudices existing in that important body of men respecting the National Association , and the presumed advantages , they , as a trade , were likely to receive by enrolling themselves in its ranks . He then went at length into the question , and endeavoured to show the mutual dependence of all trades upon each other ; he showed that the present tendency to depress and keep down the wages of
labour , and the present action of machinery by glutting the labour market , must inevitably , iu a shert time , be seriously felt , even by those skilled trades who at present fancied themselves comparatively secure —nay , he considered that already the unavoidable agencies of a superabundant labour market had been seriously felt in many parts ot their important body . He particularly alluded to the recent attempt of the Messrs Jones and Potts to swamp their trade b y filling their shops with adult apprentices , and that the only rational remedy for this growing evil was a determined effort of all trades , rich and poor , high and low , skilled and unskilled , which they had the power , to unite in one holy confederation ; first to protect the more
defenceless from the further encroachments of capital , and then to strike out new paths in manufactures and agriculture for the absorption of the surp lus labour which now threatens to overwhelm everv department of industry in one common ruin , jijr Fee' / s explanation ? and arguments appeared , to give general satisfaction , as only one person presented himself as an opponent . This gentleman said he was opposed to the National Trades on princip le . He objected i » toto to the principles of strikes , and considered that money so expended was money absolutely thrown away ; he objected to the mechanics having anything to do with an association which encouraged by supporting strikes . He said it was opposed to one of their fundamental laws , and showed that iu the case of Jones and Potts no
part of their capital of £ 25 , 000 had he used 111 support of that strike . Mr P . assured that gentleman that the National Trades was as much opposed to strikes as he could possibly be , but at the same time , in dealing with a great and universally admitted evil , took the only consistent and rational course of proceeding , that of gradually building up machinery , by which the detestable system of strikes would eventually be rendered impossible . He obterved further , that tho mechanics , however opposed to strikes , were , as in the instance previously al . luded to , forced into it against their will , and found it necessary , in direct violation of their principle , to support it by pecuniary assistance . It was true , their capital was not encroached upon for this purpose ; but their members were called upon for a very heavy levy , and the sympathy and assistance of
other trades was solicited to enable them successfully to resist the oppressive proceedings of Jones and Potts . And how , in the meantime , was their large capital employed—lent out at a paltry interest of perhaps 3 per cent , to some other Jones anc Potts , to oppress and tyrannise some other body of defenceless working meu ? If their large capital had on this occasion been employed by themselves , to place these men of Jones and Potts , even on a small scale , at reproductive labour , either in manufactures or agriculture , the moral effect of such an example would have been incalculable . This interesting kind of discussion was continued for aome time , but in the best possible spirit . Several questions to elicit further information were asked by other parties , when a resolution was put that auo " - ther general meeting of the trade should be called to diecusB amongst themselves the propriety of

A vote of thanks was then passed t the Lecturer for his attendance , and the meeting ; adjourned . - Those trades belonging to the Association who have not received copies of the last quarter ' s ba « , lance sheets , &c , may obtain the same by sending their address to the Office of the Association ; and ' those trades who wish to be supplied with cards and ' rules , will please give their orders for the numbers ' they require . ¦
Hanlky . —Mr Humphries attended here on Mon . day to adjust the differences which exist between the crate makers and their employers . It has bee » the custom in this branch of the trade for master * to hire their men at Martin-mass for the year , at certain rates of wages , which governed the pricei for that period ; but in this trade , as in others * some were disposed to pay less for labour than the generality of masters . The men have patiently waited for some time , and now feel determined to
be placed on an equality with their fellow workmea in other shops . A meeting of the master ( irate makers was held at the Blue Bells , who evinced a desire that the men should receive their full wages , but stated that if they gave it , they could not allow the same discount on the goods as has been customary ; but it would be better that the men should receive fair wages than the coffers of the wealthy should be further enriched . We hope the masters concerned will pay the same price as others .

Our correspondent adds— The above is issued by a factory master in Manchester . When he gives the card to the workers , ho says , ' If you loose this card , or show it to any one , I will give you twelvo months , imprisonment . '" Derbyshire Glove Hands . —In consequence of an attempted reduction in the silk glove branch by Messrs Brettles , of Belper . A meeting was held at tho New Ion , Duffieid , of the masters and journeymen , to consider the best means to be adopted te counteract the same . After passing resolutions to support the men employed by them , ; it was unanimously resolved to apply to the press . We beg leava to state to the public , through your invaluable paper , tho champion of the people ' s rights , the true
nature and cause oi this dispute . A lew weeks since one of their largest middle-masters brought over to Duffieid a pair of gloves purported to be manufactured by Messrs Morley , of Nottingham / statiug that they were manufactured at 3 d . per dozen less than the present price . In consequence of this statement a meeting was summoned , and it . was folly proved that the article produced was considerably inferior to the article of the same quality manufactured here . It may not be out of place to state that Messrs Brettles hands here have now been standing for fourteen weeks , and their foreman of the silk department ( Although a free trader ) has morejthan onceattempted reductions when he imagined the men were reduced to starvation . Just at the time he attempted this
reduction Messrs Ward ' s firm appeared to be falling off in their deliveries , he made the attempt when he thought we could least withstand , but we are reduced ¦ t » such a point that we might as well play as work for less . We therefore determined to resist it by allthe means in our power . The quality of work at « tempted to be reduced is known in the trade as the 4-7 glove . This article manufactured by Messw Morley have been : known to give the first price in the trade for their manufactures . The public will here take notice that the reduction , if given wholly to the consumer , would only amout to a farthing per pair , whilst it would reduce the workman from Is . Gil . to 2 s . per week . We therefore appeal to the framework knitters , and public generally , to aid us , in struggling for our rights .
Thb London Boiler Makers . —The celebration of the seventh anniversary of the Rose and Albion lodge of the Friendly United Boiler Makers Society , held ad the Star and Garter , Arbour-square , took placoatthe New Globe Tavern , Mile End Road , on Monday evening last . An excellent dinner waa served in first-rate style by the worthy host , Mr Gardner , to about 150 hearty appetities who did it ample justice . A numerous and efficient band , under the direction of Mr Gahell , discoursed sweet music to knife and fork accorrpaniment . Mr Julian Harney presided ; after the cloth ' s removal , the toastranster gave . ' The health of the employers , and may a good understanding always exist between the employer and the employed , to the end , that a fair day ' s
wage may be the reward for a fair day ' s work . ' The bond played ' The Good Old Eaglish ; Gentlema » . * The next toast was , ' Health and prosperity to th » Foremen , and may they decide justly between master and men . ' Responded to by a foreman , ( whosa name we . did not catch . ) The band played , ' He ' i a olJygiiod tellow ; ' with & hearty chorus of the assembled friends . ' Prosperity to the United Order of Friendly Boiler Makers of Great Britain and Ire . land , ' waa next given . The baud played , 'Tht Brave Old Oak . ' Mr M'Nainara , the . branch secretary , in responding , said , the toast needed not any voice to call forth a response from the assembled shopmates , for each pulsation re-echoed that sentiment ; neither did they lack acts to testify it , for
during the last winter , they all knew the dreadful state trade was in at that period ; no workhouit mastiff growled at a boiler makers petition for reliof ; no , their lodge alone , had expended £ 500 during the winter . Some of the foremen had attempted toloro * upon them as legal men , mere lads , this had been , nobly withstood and defeated . ( Cheers . ) Yet for all this , their exchequer wai not empty ; nor they had a strong jusd , which was increasing daiy . ( Cheers . ) Besides attending to eur own wants , our hands and hearts , too , had been open to their brethren of other trades . The Warringten lads had received £ 130 to oppose the masters' tyrannical ' conspiracy . ' Many trades ' unions were on the debtor side of their ledger , butnone on tho creditor ' s . ( 'True ' and cheers . ) Aftet
, some other observations , the speaker concluded by proposing— 'Health and prosperity to Mr John Roberts , the worthy corresponding secretary , and the executive council of the Manchester unity . ' Three cheers and one cheer more accompanied the drinking 01 the toast ; the band playing' A man ' s a man for a' that . ' The Chairman then gave the next sentiment—* T . S . Duncombe , M .

The Chairman also spoke at length on the political life and actions ef Mr DuHcorabe . His remarks were warmly app ]« wed .
An ' Address' to Mr Duncombe was then read ana adopted . The band playing , 'See the Conquering Hero Comes .
