^ M ^ rer for thi s lavi sh generosity . The only aolatiottof this palpable job is , that Lord John hagaprudentejeto the future . When the Brikcb of Wales enterB his large house nine years hence , he cannot help remembering that he owes it to the Whigs ; and , even Royalty is not ungrateful , when it has nothing to fear . The readiness of the Whigs to secure his good -will , while he was yet but a little boy , will assure him of their subserviency when he becomes a wan ; and , thus , a very nicernesti ^ -g ^^ r ^ ¦*•> . _ J l _ ] l x 111 ¦ _ j 11 ¦ 1111 ¦ n ¦ 11 ¦ l ¦ ¦ ¦ L ' . II" "" I j ..- - « -, i 1 ™ f ^™» tft tha fatnre . When the ,
egg of court favour is Hatched by this Marl borough House job . If it had . not Ijpct perpetrated now , we doubt whether £ (> gross a misappropriation of the pnblic property would be suffered to take place a fe ^ r years hence . The suffrage must be extended , and with that will come' a more just and economical financial administration . Meanwhile , we put it down in the long Hat of items chargeable against the present corrup and trafficking Ministry , nofc ' to be forgotten when the day of reckoning comes .
The Sabbatarians experienced a defeat on Wednesday , when , after four hours' discussion , then- Sunday Trading Bill was withdrawn , with a threat that it will be introduced next session . We want no coercive legal interfe rence with such matters . It is bad in principle , and may be made most unjust ,. tyrannical , and injurious in practice . The onl y useful and business-like suggestion for prevent
ing Sunday trading during the debate was , that of paying workmen their wageB on Friday night instead of Saturday . That will remove the necessity for Sunday trading-, and , at the same time , confer many collateral advantages upon the industrious classes . We have frequently urged such a measure , from a deep sense of the social benefits that would arise from its adoption . : '
In the first place , it would prevent much of that dissipation , and consequent waste Of lardly-eained money , which takes on Saturday nights . Knowing that they had to return to . their work again on the following morning , the men would not indulge as they do with the prospect of an idle day before them . They would take more money home with them ; and , in the second place , their wives-would consequently be able to go to market hy daylight , and take the choice of a market better
in quality and lower in price , than those they are compelled to buy in under the present system . How much of moral and domestic improvement would flow from these two fects we need not say . It would put the most effectual extinguisher upon Sunday trading ; and if the Sabbatarians are in earnest , they will exert all their efforts to produce the universal adoption of snch a beneficial regulation—not in the Metropolis merel y * but in all the large towns in the Empire .

¦ f : f ? e , th meeting of the Conference ; several successful cases . of mediatorial interference have , occurred , ¦ terminating in favour of ;(; he members . " These cases occurred' in Todmorden ; Birmingham , Kidderminster , LynBj &n . ; in eactii of which . places the interests of the members havo . been effectuall y protected , and the character and . honour of the Association fully maintained . .
The impbrtautcase of the tin-plate workers p f . Wolverhamp&n still / absorbsthe ' attention of the . Central . jDommittee , whose efforts to effect an amicable aiTarigement . ' with the employers have been' so-far frustrated by the arbitrary and / uncompromising conduct of a clique ; of theWgentleraeh . . The object of the men is the adoption of a book of prices , / which they contend will be equally beneficial to masters and workmen . Under the advice of . the
Central Committee , a hook of prices ^ was drawn up : by the' workmen ,, and copies of the same presented to ' each of the sis principal employers of the town , and left for their examination and approval . Two of the most extensive and respectable of the gentlemen cor dially accepted the , proposed arrangement , a third also gave a conditional assent , while the other three refused to accept the men ' s list , even as the basis of any other arrangement . ; ; After much trouble and many prolongediriteryiews , a C onference of the fonr masters and representatives from the . six leading shops ,
together with a deputation from the 'Central Committee was obtained , by which means it was hoped that a friendl y and equitable ad ^ justment might be , arrived at , the men being quite prepared toiconcedeto a great extent , for the sake of removing a constant Bource of acrimony and ill-feeling . ; These generous and laudablefintentioiia were unhappily frustratedj by the'arbitra ' ry and unreasoning obstinacy of the masters , one of whom displayed a coarse and . yulgar brutality of conduct , which ren-, dered- a : continuance of these meetings too painful and humiliating to he longer submitted
: The Central Committee , Still unwilling ^ tp ' advise or , couutenance any hostile proceedings by the men , ; proposed re-opening a negotiation for a modified book , based upon the principle ' of the average ' of the existing prices paidby the four leading employers , . ' . Theadoption / of , thisbook would in effect be a reduction of wages of more than ten per cent . ' upon the two hi ghest , paying shops , and an equal advance upon the others ' but this generous sacrifice will be cheerfully , submitted to : by the men working in those shopswith
, & ; view of benefiting the position of ; their fellow- labourers / and dping an act of justice totheir owh . h 6 nourable' masters ,. yrho , are now placed in ^ a . most . unfair , position , by / theavaricipusanCunprincipled / cpnduct of-tiieir nei ghbours . , . But , unfortunately , all these efforts have been unavailing ; no concession j howevfei just and reasoriable , . will b ? madCby Mr . E . Perry , who assumes to' himself the management pf . the / dispiite on . the part of the nonconforming portion of the masters . He
assumes the right for himself and his worth y con / Veres , to arbitraril y fixtheprice of his men ' s wages , a right / that . has no foundation in reason pi" in law , and which ; the . Central Committee never will advise any of its members to " submit to . The nien have , therefore , exercised their undoubted legal and ; cbnstitutional py ivilege of adopting-- this / modified book of prices as the standard for the town
As ho more work can he taken out by theraen except in accordance with this list , it is probable that many of them will be temporaril y thrown out of employment ; the ^ -Central Committee have , therefore ; in this case : resolved to exercise the , power vested in them by the cpnstitutionof the Association ^ in calling for Buch an additional contribution from the members as shall enable them to shield these men of
Wolverhanipton from the oppressive and arbi-. trary conduct of their employers / The Executive of this Association are always extremely unwilling to sanction any hostile p ' rpceedings between masters and workmen ; they , believe —and their experience warrants them in that belief—that all disputes are better arranged by . friendly arbitration ; but in a case like this , where the noble and generous' offers of the men are met with insulting and ignorant superciliousness ; they feel they would bo sadl y and culpably . deficient in their duties if they did not uBetheir utmost exertions to bring up the

Committee , therefore , invite their fellow . workmen to watch the issue of this case , presenting—as they trust . it will--a powerful example ofthe irresistable power of union , and its beneficial tendency ; upon the interests of those ; who steadily and rationally adopt it , as a conservativeagent against the encroaching tendency of capital . The highest ambition of the Central Committee is , that ; thei ' National Association , should present a model of
constitutional , and : perfectly legal , combination ; They are aware how extremel y obnoxious are all combinationB of labour to the employing class generally , and . they , are also , forced to admitj thatthia had repute has been mainl y produced by the false principles ^ upotf which they have been based , and the worse practices of those who have been entrusted with , their conduct . Although * this * must be conceded , we enter pur aolemn and indignant protest against the gross and scandalous imputations of-the Times newspaper , in a powerfully . written : and —in some respects—excellent article " upon Trades' Unions , " in its impression of Monda ' v , the 29 th of July . « .

The first caso was that of two men who ima tiirowria caniBter of gunpowdei at tho bedroom window of a Sheffield manufacturer , Luckity . the attempt was not successful in its mhchief . The canister was thrown at the window , fell without doing much injury , created alarm , and led to the detection and capture of iho perpetrators of the crime When these men were apprehended a confession not sou n cientfor legal purposes was elicited—not sufficient for legal but quite adequate for moral conviction .
