stating that m'etings of . a highly importaj . t cb racter have be « n held in that neighbourhood lo . thi purpose _ of explaining the laws and princi ples of ths United Trades Association ^ a » d the result is , that numbers ere long will join , the ranks of thousands determined to free themselves . ¦ Mr . Daniels , editor of the Minkrs' Jotj mjai ,, reports that Mr . Peel attended at , Douglass , ' Isle of Man , mid . delivered a very important lecture on the benefits of the Association . That , many trades were desirous of joining the Association . It was the first time the question was mooted there , consequently it caused much interest . Several tpplf . cations have been made for lecturers , which will be supp lied , as soon as practicable .
The secretary of tht Wamngton glass cutters writes and says , that " they have a strike on hand against Mr . Robinson , whi . offered a reduction of not less than 4 s . per week ; eig hteen men turned out , four of whom were ' hired . ' They of course left the town , and were out of the way untitT ' a child belsnging to one of the men died . He came over to the funeral , was taken into custody by the police , and is now lying in Kirkdale gaol , where he will have to remain two months , unless Mr . Roberts , the miners' Attorney-General , is successful in getting
him out . The glass cutters have engaged that gentleman , and he has taken , the necessary steps ta bring the case before the Court of Queen ' s Bench . The expense will be dGlOO , and these pnor men have not the means , unaided , to accomplish this without the assistance of others , therefore they kindly solicit the support of the trades . ; These men , undoubtedly , need assistance , therefore , if any of their fellow men could render any , the subscriptions would be , thankfully received , either at this office , or by Mr . B . Droomgole , glassculter , WarringtoB . ¦
Leicester . —A public meeting has been held here , in favour of the miners , which was addressed by Mr . Buckby , and others . Mr . B . delivered a very powerful ' address , dilating with much force and energy on the tyranny , of masters and the duties of men . A very important ' meeting of tbe Strong Shoe Men ' s Society , of the City of London , was held on Monday evening , August 30 t h , at which the following resolution was agreed to : — That in order to assist the central Committee , iu the matter of the Holytown miners , this meeting do hereby agree to pay one month ' s levy in advance , in addition to the levy due . ' ( Signed ) James Hollowday , President .
On Tuesday evening , August 24 th , Mr . Humphries attended a meeting at Leek , the room being crowded to excess ; the passage and committeeroom were full , the stairs were lined , and great numbers stood outside , unable to get admittance . Mr . Grattan was called to the Chair , who having opened the business of the meeting introduced Mr . H . to address the meeting . The speaker very briefly recapitulated the substance of his two previous addresses , and expatiated at large upon the practical working , and beneficial tendency of the National Association of United Trades . The' speaker then drew the attention of the operatives of Leek'to the case of the Hol ytown miners , and showed them the
absolute necessit y of every working man and ' woman of Leek assisting the central Comraiitee to give the poor miners support , to enable them effectually to resist the infamous document presented to them . That if the men were not promptly supported by the trades of this country , the consequence would be the miners would be compelled to surrender them , selves victims to the cupidity and injustice of their masters , and no trade would be safe one month from the introduction of a similar document to the one the Holytown miners of Scotland were now endeavouring to resist . It remained for the working
classes to say whether the noble spirits of the miner should be crushed by the iron hand of oppression , and their wives and children driven to starvation , through those cruel exactions . But the working classes would not suffer it . The true and the brave would exert themselves to the very utmost , in order to procure support for their fellow men in Scotland . The Speaker was veFy warmly applauded throughout his address , and sat down amidst loud cheers . A Committee was appointed to canvass the town of Leek , to obtain subscriptions for the miners , and we believe the trades of Leek ' will do their share in the work .
Mr II . attended a meeting of the silk dyers of Macclesfield on Wednesday evening , when he laid the case of the Holjtown miners before them , the result of which was , that a committee of twenty were appointed to canvass the whole town for subscriptions on behalf of the colliers . It was also resolved that ' 100 appeals be printed , to be placed in . the shop-windowa in every part of the town , that the atfiir might be laid fully before the public . Twenty of the weavers of Macclesfield will also be appointed to co-operate with the dyers in this good work . This is a noble example , and we feel cosfident that the operatives in every town , will promptly and speedily follow .
This is the time for action . Let the apathy of . every working man be thrown to the winds , and let a holy and energetic striving commence amongst the working classes , as to who shall be the most prompt and liberal in rendering assistance , to the bravo miners of Holytown . In helping them we are indeed helping ourselves . In securing their liberties we shall be tnhauoins our own independence . We say , then to one and all , arm yourselves like men . let your wateh-word be , ' Support for Scotland ! Your motto , ? Courage and Perseverance ! ' and a triumph , gleriom and Jong to be remembered , will crown your noble and praisaworthyeffirtB .
Mr Humphries attended a public meeting of the miners and locksmiths of Wellenhall , on Friday night , in the open air . Mr Lees was unanimously called to the chair , and after a few brief observations introduced Mr Richards , of Bilston to ¦ address them , who said he was happy to meet them on the present occasion , one that was freighted with so many important matters for their consideration , and he was more particularly happy to meet them under the auspices of the National Association , saying
there were but two classes , the rich and the poor , one that does the work , the other that does none . Fellow-countrymen , you have often said , ' Why are we so poor ? ' I wonder you are not poorer . ' We find seven millions of adult people in England and Wales , and out of the whole only two-thirds labour ; therefore those who do not work live on the produce of others . After a few other remarks the aged veteran resumed his seat . Mr Humphries commenced by saying he was happv to have the
opportunity of meeting the men of Willenhall on the present occasion . He said , I hold in my hand a document from the Wolverhampton Trades' Society , which says , ' It is with feelings of satisfaction and pleasure that your delegates address you in this manner , after showing how faithfully they have discharged their duty in the said society . ' It goes on to show that the men of Willcuhall and Wolverhamnton . work more hours than the slaves of South Carolins , who only work ten hours a day , while the men in this district work from sixteen to eighteen and even twenty lnurs per day . He showed the surenonty of the National Association over all othersocal combination yon hav » had and what have been their effects ? You have had your masters to guide who have
you , sold you and bought you . Your local union has incwastq your hours of labour and reduced the price 1 The intent of the National Association is to lessen the hours , of labour , and maintain a fair day s wages for a fair day ' s work . The employers said the Association was managed by tinkers , tailors , &c , but let him tell the employers of Willenhall , that anhoneBt tinker was preferable to adrunken tyrannical master . After showing the general prin . ciples of union , Mr H . concluded by an energetie appeal on behalf of the miners of Holytown , sayine if they did not assist them , the miners of South Staffordshire would in all probability Boon be broueht ft ! ° Bate loX' - cb ^ d a feW ° ther remWkB « the ' mig &ter ***** °° » > and

" P » h >» ftrthe MlOhn , " HOLYTOWN CASE . These men are still out against the reduction offered by the masters of the Holytown district . The subscriptions have not been what they ought to be under the circumstances , but as yet little time has been afforded . Many promises have been made , and from the reports in to-day ' 3 Star , more may be expected . We stated , iu a previous paper , that this
war is not merely on the question of wages , but one which involved the great principle of combination . The masters most assuredly discover the strength and force of a national combination , arid more particularly when that league or combination is carried on without disorder , or an infringement of the statute law . It is in fear of the moral force of the association , and not its pecuniary , because if they had the resources of the Bank of England , in times of general depression , the Association could render no effective service to the various bodies , but it is by their united efforts , their means of ascertaining the real position of every trade , that enables them to watch with minuteness the most favourable time , to assist any body of men , who are struggling for their rights and a just reward for their labour . The governments of all nations centralise their forces , and act according to circumstatceg ; they do not run headlong into treaties , or war with countries : They take time , the great prov « r of events . Tliis Association is one for centralising the power of the associated trades , not for husbanding its resources one year , and spending it in useless and unproductive strikes the next , but to make the funds doubly available b y employment , thereby making them reproductive ; But we said the dispute at Holytown lay deeper than wages , that a blow wa » struck at the principle of confederalion—a blow intended to reduce the working classes to worse than Russian serfdom , if not crippled by the united efforts of an independent people . They may unite to pay what they please for their labour , and the law allows the working classes to unite aiid demand what they please for their labour , but na intimidation or threats must be held out , and we caution he miners to beware of any unnecessary excitement —not ' to allow themselves to be drawn into any conspiracy or overt act , or to threaten , intimidate , or use any language which may le construed to mean , &c , but to allow every man free access to the pits , without molestation or hindrance ; but you may advise nith Mm on the question at issue , aud persuade him to cease labonr , but not tell him if he does not he will be liable , &c That would be wrong—that would be intimidation , for which you would be liable to imprisonment . We entreat you to abide I iy the law , and we again entreat the members of all societies to auist these men , to the best of their abilities . The cause of the miners is the cause of the people ; for while you uphold their interests , you are upholding your own , and should you allow them io suffer you must expect to suffer in retunv Fathers , we appeal to you , on behalf of the sons of others ; mothers , we implore you to give relief ; children , give what you can , spare for those who have to wander the fields by day , and crave a covering place at night . In another part of the paper will be found the amounts subscribed , and by whom , which has been transmitted to the mines of Holytown . - •¦ EMPLOYMENT ASSOCIATION . The principle of this Association does aot appear to be sufficiently understood to demand the attention necessary for its full development . Its rules and regulations have not been read to be appreciated by the masses , otherwise they would be more attentive and more assiduous to their own interests , by self-employment . The preamble of' this branch is sufficient to show the inefficacy of the old system of improving the condition of the working classes . Self-employment is the grand princi ple of relief ; by this meant alons can the working classes of anv country relieve themselves from tbe irou grasn of capital , and place their families in a proper sphere of society . But for the further elucidation of this Society , or Joint-stock ¦ Company , we insert the preamble to its laws , and will take the earliest onportunity of bringing thira before the public

PREAMBLE TO . THE LAWS FOB THE EMPLOYMENT OF LABOUR IN AGRICULTURE AND MANUFACTURE . The inefficacy of the methods heretofore adopted by the industrious classes for the protection and maintenance of their interests , and tho improvement of their condition , h » B induced deep and wiue-6 prend inquiry into the came of tlio failure of the plaus hitherto tried , It wouia , perhaps , be assuming too much to assert , that such inquiries have detected all the latent causes of evil which operate on the producers of wealth , and render them helplessly depandent on the poisessorB of capital for wages and subsistence but a conviction has taken strong hold of the working-classes that the Bufferings of their class are aggravated , if not caused , by intense competition , by the increase of mechanieal and other scientific productive powers , and tho consequent displacement of skilled and other labour by automaton workers . For this state of thin gs many of the most intelligent workmen , pirceire no other efficient remedy than the institution of measures which rtlievo the labour market of the surpluB labour , by setting tho unemployed members of the various trades to work , out of funds contributed
by themselves . Notwithstanding many thousand of pounds have been spent on strikes , the condition of the producing classes presents but too many palpable evidences of deterioration j of subjection to evils—increaied—increasing , and which ought to be diminished . Past experience emphatically proves the inadequacy of the methods pro . yioualy employed to ward off these evils ; aud it is at least no very fanciful deduction from that experience to say , that the capital hitherto expended ineffectivel y , if employed in the purchase of land , tbo etaction of dwellings and workshops , the purchase of raw materials for manufacturing and handicraft purposes , and the cm . ployment of the unemployed members of the trades in these estsblishments , would remove , if not all some of the evils universall y complained of , and be a more ra tionnl , as well us a more reproductive mtthod of using tlw funds so collected for improving tko position of labour . Fully to achieve the objects here indicated would require union and erganisation among the various classes aud 6 eijtionB of producers , which it is to be feared , is not attainable at tbe present moment . Time must be given for new opinions tu ripen ; and , inthemeantiime , thosa who are most deeply imbued with them , aud haTe tho greatest faith in their efficacy , must take the position of pioneers , and by practice , on as large a seale as their means will permit , lend tke way to a more esten-BiYe and more eftkiont application of sound principles of social amelioration . Ids with these views thatths present Association is formed . It is an experiment to try hoiv far the working clnBses are prepared to act upou the opinions now so prevalent amongst them , and to clear the way for thoie more extensive , complicate ! , and centralised operations which must precede the entire emancipation of labour . If it succeeds , it will lay a solid foundation for other and more comprehensive measures , and in tbe constitution which follows , powers have been taken of an eapanding character to meet possible contingenciis . 1 . The purchase or rental of lands whereon tolooate and employ the surplus labour of the Association , in such m inner as shall be most conducivo to their own welfare and that of the Association . 2 . The erection or rental of buildings for domestic , industrial , and commercial purposes , in such localities as may be best suited for these respeotire objects , and the promotion of the general interests of the Assoeiation . 3 . The application of these lands and buildings so as to meet the corporate and individual requirements of the Association . 1 . To afford to trades in their corporate capacity the power or leasing in perpetuity , or of purhasing is fce-simple , such lands and buildings belonging to the Association » $ they m » y require for tbe location and employment of their surplus members ; aud alto the power of investing their funds with the Association by way of loan or mortgage on any of the property of the Aaiociatiou . 2 . To divide such portions of tbe estates purchased by tho Association as may bt thought expedient into small farms , to build thereon suitable cottages and out-houses , and to soil and lease iho property thus improved , to Individuals selected in accordance with the lawa of the Association .
