the United States in ^ the ejes of the natives . America , he told the assembly , needed no standing army . it worked on in a system of brotherly love , and then he took care to convey to the inhabitants of 8 ueh dots of country as England , France , and Germany , how big was the territory of the United States . Mr . Culiden alluded on the first day to the presence of General flaynau . The American was determined to trump that success , aud t « Jd the meeting that though Austrian officers might attend Frankfort peace meetings , the first general in tbe United States weut about as a peace preach * r . This was rather too strong a dose fur the Britishers , and a peacemaker wi . ispered very sensibly , " Tfeen yay does not hi- throw up his commission ? " U » v " ; ,, „ , _
ing concluded his patriotic attempt to impivss the magnitude of his country on his wondering hearers , lie retired amidst universal applause . Scarcely less successful was Mr . JohnDiwson , t Binnin . Tli :. in , who attacked the miltary profession xuuchWs George Cruiksliank attacks intemperance . Be went to work from the domestic poiut « f view , at the same time avoiding sentimentality , and he depicted the life of a soldier , which he characterised as a "fuss of ac ivity , " with a great deal or quiet iumour . An old Prussian officer rolled with laughter at the ridicui < - with which Mr . Dawson in-aied the members of h \< profession . With some unwilliugucss Mr . D wson confessed that ho was not an te without military It-eling . War he hated , but
he fimnd a well-drilled regiment a pleasant , spectacli-, and loved to see tbe country aawky trausformed into the elegant militaire . How reconcile tho- « two tasie<—hatred of armies and lo-e of drill ? Why , hy having imlustral instead of mili ary regiuieuts , witk sp ^ aVs instead of mu > kets on their ahuul : era . Thus -hall war be swept from the earth ; bn : Mr Dawson > hall not io ? e the amusement which duuiiUess he rewives in St , James ' s Park . Almost every orator bad expressed a wish that t >> o swurd mig ht lie turned to a sickle , but Mr . Dawson , ever original , improved tbe standing sentiment by adding a bupe that pipeclay might be used to whitewash cottages , and red cloth made up into cloaks for goodTiiouest , old women . Before he retired hetouk occasion to expliiii that be had merely flung out his
notice of the spade exercise as a suggestion , withuut arging its serious adoption . Whether the broad trim gentry , who look with such benignant contempt on the ruined castles on each side of the ItUiue , as something gone by in their own days of ¦ wisd om , quite relished the semi-mil > tary propensities uf Mi . O . iwson it is hard to say , but his speech was one of the successes of the day ; and perhaps this , and iheora ion by M .: Garnier , w « -re the only two that gire decided evidence of originality . Mr . C <; bde ; i spoke earlier on the first day . The resolution about " loans , " strange to say , be did not touch , but confined himself to the swuling armaments . His speech was as effective on Ids part , and .-mowed the same tact in seizing on objects immediately within tbe grace and comprehension of Ids hearers .
The two resolutions of the day were , of course , carried unanimously . On the third day a letter was read fromYictor , Hqgo . who presided at the Congress last year in Paris , stating that fatigue aud the state of his Lealh prevented him from being present . A letter from tt : e Archbishop of Paris , expressive of sympathy with the movement , was also read . Amoup the more remarkable speakers of the day was Kah-Ge-Gah-Bowh ( Firm-standing , ) now Rev . G Gopway , lately a chief of the Red Indian tribes , who
Concluded a very picturesque speech by the following tou < ih of the dramatic : — " When I left my country in the west , my aged father came to me and said , * Here , my son , take this '—( unrolling the Indian pipe of peace , amid immense cheering )—yes , ¦ when I took my seat at this table , many persons teemed afraid to sit near me as if I had arms in my hand ; bar , Mr . President , it is not a weapon of war , it is a weapon of peace , which , in the name of my fit her , in the name of my countrymen , I present to you—it is our calamet . " ( Tremendous applause as he gave it to the President . )
A supplementray resolution , condemning duelling , "was proposed . On its being about to be put , M . Girardin ( who is well known to have given the mortal wound to M . Arrnand Carrel ) rose and was received with cheers . He said—Duelling is war Iwtween individuals . We here give a guarantee to obtain credit , and that guarantee is to be found in the solemnity of our acts—that guarantee is to deny duelling publicly and openly . A legislative assembly has at this moment a subject for future debate a In w apon duelling . In my life there is a painful reminiscence . I fought a fatal duel twenty years ago . and I still 2 ' ecl remorse for it at this moment . If we were to leave no other trace in Frankfort than this resolution , we might say we had done enough . The resolution was unanimously adopted . This brought the formal business of the Congress to an end .
The remaining business consisted of formal voti ^ of thank ? , and the appointment of London as th < place for holding the next Conference . Mr . Cobdra led off some of the votes , corupli mentarj with .- 'three times three" in capital style much to the astonishment of the worthy German and the proceedings closed , apparently to the satis faction of all concerned .

STRIKE OF THE DRIVERS AND FIREMEN OF TUE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY . Another meeting of the drivers and firemen lately in the employment of this company took place on Friday , the 23 rd inst ., at the George Inn , Stratford , when , in the absence of Mr . Hope , Mr . Khuiersley took the chair . The report in the newspapers of the company ' s meeting held en the previous day was first re ! id , after which a prolonged conversation and
comoinanon , and not at all of inquiring whether they had not been driven to it by oppression . Of tl . icharges brought against them as to their tampering with the eusines , they denied the truth altogether and urged also that even admitting them to be true , subsequent misconduct in the men did not justify previous tyranny in Mr . Gooch . They also complained that the charges made against them by Mr . Belts , the chairman at the meeting of shareholders , were too general to admit of contradiction , and whilst denying that they were true of any , complained ta ^ t from their vagueness they were now applied to ail .
Before the dispersion of the meeting , a letter , upon the subject , was agreed to be sent to E . L . Betts , Esq ., which having been approved , was duly despatched . On the answer to its very moderate demand the men ' s future proceedings will depend . It is much to be feared that the misunderstanding which has taken place between the authorities of the Eastern Counties Railway and their engine drivers ana firemen , so far from being amicably settled , bids fair not only to rival the strike which occurred about two years since on the North-Western line , but to extead to various other rail ways , if report speaks true , throughout the country , much to the inconvenience and danger of the public .
It appears that delegates are about to be sent to the various lines throughout the kingdom . The spark of disaffection has already reached the north , and meetings have been held at Leeds and other places , at which resolutions have been come to to support the men of the Eastern Counties in their present proceedings , and it is boldly asserted that so dissatisfied are the engine-drivers and firemen of another great trunk line , having its terminus in the metropolis , that they are ripe for an immediate outbreak . At two o clock on Saturday afternoon last , a crowded meeting of the engine-drivers and firemen took place at the George Inn , Stratford , for the purpose of receiving the report of the deputation , and taking such steps as mi ght be considered advisable in reference thereto .
Mr . M'Calugh , in the absence of Mr . J . T Dope , was called to the chair , and about 150 of the men were present . Mr . Gbosdt said he bad to lay before the meeting the result of the deputation to the board ef directors that morning . ] n pursuance of the resolution came to on the previous evening , they bad been that morning to the Shoreditch terminus to see the directors , and to tffer to accept an honourable compromise of the disagreement . On their arrivaL they saw Mr . Honey , the secretary , and ¦ were informed b y that gentleman that all the directors were out of town , and that there would be no board meeting until Tuesday . He expressed
personally his regret at the misunderstanding , and said taat as he was himself only an officer he could of course give no answer to the application . Ho , nowevet , recommended that the men should forward to him their application in writing , and he wSL ^ K *** . & **««> in laying the samo tefore the board . In course of conversation Mr Roney expressed his conviction , that the director ' having confidence in Mr . Goooh , would not S fere in the matter and therefore he ( MnGrundy ) bad little hope of any amicable settlemenTSe cometo at present . Since the return ofihedepS toonfrom Shoreditch , a letter had been written emboymg the views of the committee , and which ^^^^ l ^ f ™ * ? to themeetiu
. g . The Chaihmas here read the letter offering a compromise . ° Mr . Beece moved , — "That this letter be forwarded to the secretary of the company Mr Eoney , to be laid before the directors on Tuesday . " . Mr . Kissekslet seconded the motion . Mr . Abmsteoko thought the sending of thia letter ¦ was premature . The directors had gWen it out that they intended ^ to open two of the branch lines which had bees shut up , and ran additional trains

on Monday , and he thought that if that was done something might occur which would soon sett e the Son to the advantage of the men ^ kaew ft was given out that the wow tad got a batch of practical engine drivers from iJe : north but he had no confidence in them on that line and therefore ho thought they should not be toa ready to kn DmvKR said he did not wish the public or company auy harm , but he certainly should like to hear ofa good old collision , ( l ^ d laughter , and cries of "Oh , oh . " ) He thought they should hold out a bit longer . ( Hear , hear . ) The resolution to send the letter was then carripd .
The Chairman said he was quite sure that , notwithstanding the proceedings at the meeting of the Eastern Counties shareholders on Thursday , tW public were still in favour of the engine drivers , and h- was very desirous that they should by their conduct keep the public in their favour . It Has true the state of affairs were changed with the engine drivers since last Thursday , and he wou . d tell them why . The directors , instead of having the shareholders compelling them to go into a fair and proper inquiry into the case between the superintendent and the men , had now got the shareholders to '• ack them in their proceedings . It was nothing to
ihe directors if the traffic ; of the line failed ; the deficiency would not come out of their pockets ; and they " would only have to make additional calls upcm the shareholders . Under these circumstances , he felt that the drivers and firemen should do nothing to get into disgrace with the public , and they would i'c right The chairman , at the meeting on Thursday , had shown them what combination there was between the various companies and their locomotive sujwrintendants to put down tUoso in their employ , fie admitted that , " with the greatest kindness , other companies had taken first-rate men off th «* foot-plates of their own engines , and sent them « -ff to work on the Eastern Counties . " The
same systmn ' was working on other . lines , and the engine drivers and firemen of every other line knew not how soon it might be tlieir turn to be served in the aann * way as those of the Eastern Counties had been . It therefore behoved them all to look out . Depend upon it , if any of them backed out and cruuem-d ro Mr Gooch , he would grind them to the very earth Let them not despair ; depend upon it the men were rife for a , movement on other lines ; and if the locomotive superintendents would hurl thunderbolts at those placed under them , depend upon it they would soon have those thunderbolts hurled back again at their feet . A letter had been received by : the committee from Leeds that morning , which proved how little was neuded to get the matter goinjr . There was tyranny on other Hues as veil . is the Eastern Counties , and it required ; i
very little spark to raise tbe flame , and consume the whole mass of tyranny and oppression . ( Cheers . ) At the request of the meeting the chairman read the letter which had been received that morning from Leeds . It stated that a meeting of the enginemen and firemen of all the lines of railway running into Leeds had been held in that town , and that a resolution had been unanimously come , to , that if the authorities of the Eastern Counties did not come to an amicable settlement with the men , they would take measures to stop every lino in the country , and they would then tetch such locomotive superintendents as Messrs . Gooch and Carberry ( the locomotive superintendent of the York and North i Midland line ) howto treat men placed under their control . The meeting was then adjourned .

In accordance with a resolution passed at a meeting of the late engine-drivers and firemen upon the Eastern Counties Railway , held at the George Inn , in Stratford , a letter , of which the following is a copy , was addressed to the chairman and directors , and delivered to the secretary ( Mr . Roney ) on Monday last , in order that it might be laid before the hoard at the weekl y meeting , on the following day ( Tuesday ) : —
TO THE HOH . THE CHAUUUX AND SIBECTOBS OF TUE EASTERN COUNTIES BAILWAI . Gentlemen , —It is with deep renret on our part that a dispute shuuld nave arisen between the superintendent , Mr . GuiH-h . aud us , which has made a great sacrifice both of tilt ? interests otyour property and our labour . We therefur , itfter culm consideration of the circumstances uf the dispute iu question , vannot but ack no wledge that our proceedings bave been much too precipitate , aud justifies us in aki .. g an honourable compromise w < Ui you . We therefore rrspe tfally ask for your 'lecifion as to the resolutions fonrardrd through Mr . Ashcroft on Saturday the 17 th inst ., or whether you will entertain auy part of them . , We also beg to add , that a deputation will attend at- your office on Tuesday ranming to await your decision . We -are . gi-ntlemen , your obedient servants , ( Signed ) Thomas Hope J . Slater . J . Uees . Vikpest ( jRAvnr
A deputation of the men attended accordingly on Tuesday , at the Bishopsgate station , but the board decliiieit to sv . e the men , and they were told that au offici 1 answer would be sent to their communication . Immediaielv on receipt of the answer from the directors , a meeting of the men was convened at the usual place , the George Inn , Stratford , when the chairman , Mr . l . opiy said he had received the following .. nswer to ttie offer they had made to the directors : — Eastern Counties Railway Office , Bishopsgate-station , London , 27 th August . Sir , —I beg t <> hand you , on the other side , au extract from the minutes of ihe board of s his date . I am , sir , yi . ur obedient servant , To Mr . Thomas Hope . C . 1 \ Roset . Extract from the minutes of the board , of tho 27 ilt of August , 1850 : —
Uead a letter , signed by T . Hope , J . Slater , 3 . Uees , and Vincent Grauby , late ensriue-drivers iu the company ' s service . Uesolred , that tlie late engine-drivers und firemen be informed , that if any of them apply to Mr . Gooch to he appointed in this coiiuiauy ' s service , their applications will be considered as vacancies offer , but the -toff of the company ' s engine-drivers und firemen is at present completed . : The Chairman said , lie regretted very much that tue communication they had thought it advisable , under the circumstances , to mitko to their late employers , had not produced a more satisfactory result . He could only , however , advise them to act . is they had hitherto done during the unfortunate misunderstanding that had occurred , conduct themselves peaceably and quietly , aud on no account to interfere in any manner with the new drivers , or with any of the works en the line . They must let the public judge . ( Hear , hear . ) Before they separated , he had to call iheir attention to ale tier lie
! iad received from Edward Ladd B us , Esq ., chairman of the company , who had presided at tho meeting of the shareholders , held at the London Tavern , on Thursday last . It would be recollected that at that meeting Mr . Betts made certain charges severely affecting their characters , und imputing to them the commission ot malicious acts previously to their leaving the company ' s employment . They ( the late engine drivers and firemen ) met these charges promptly , and at a meeting hastily held at the Black Lion , Bishopsgate-street , they unanimously passed a resolution emphatically repudiating them . In obedience to the ttvms of that resolution , the committee wrote a respectful letter to the chairman of the company , requesting ' him to furnish them with the numbers of the various engines said to have been in any way tampered with , or to have their gauge-glasses broken . To that letter , respectfully addressed to Mr . Betts , that gentleman had sent the following reply : —
ITeston Hall . Aug . 21 th , 1850 . Sir , —In reply to your letter , which reacted me h re todaj , the directors , as soon as they can definitely ascertain and prove by evidence the parties who hav .- been guilty of such wuM mischief , will net fail to inflict on them the just and severe punishment the law affords for such conduct , and which they hope to be enabled to do as a warning to all future cases of this characttr . I am , sir , yours obi diently , Edwabd Ii . Betxs , Chairman . To Mr . J . Hope . The Chairman said the meeting could perceive that the letter of Mr . Betts failed altogether to afford them the information they desired , and
which they thought they were entitled to expect . Although a very sweeping charge had been made against the characters of the rlate enginemeh and firemen , the answer , as far as they were concerned , was altogether yague . He could only express his deep regret that such charges had been made , and he again , for his own i ^ art , and on the part of the men entirely denied that they were well founded . He had onlv again to impress upon , his fellow-workmen the necessity of their continuing so to conduct themselYeB as to obtain ihe approval of the public He was hapuv to inform them that letters had been received from some | of the shareholders , expressing a warm inter ? st in their favour , and several gentlemen had called at die committee room , influenced by similar feelings
