Martin ' s Hall , to express sympathy wita the engineers who have struck in the northern dismcts , and to adopt means whereby a subscription may be irmL 8 ent t 0 tneir ^ ' ow workmen in the provinces ; air . Thomas Cormack in the chair . The Chairman said he was , like those present , a hard nsted British mechanic , and he hoped they would on that account excuse him if he did not discharge his dutj with great ability . He hoped they would all enter earnestly iminlili ailiinL . l 11 ... ' . _ .. . . «!«„« ,. » « r r «« j . _ i ., ' . . "ecision arrived at by the em-
into the cause they wished to promote—viz ., the snpport of the distressed , and the removal of the grievances under which the general body laboured . He would conclude by calling on Mr . TJsher to move the first resolution . Mr . Usiieb said it was much" Jo be regretted that they were compelled again to appear before the public , and they were now determined that might should not prevail over right , and they were determined to go through with the contest . The conduct of the great body of the employers was such as to force the men to combine to become employers themselves The interests of the country demanded that tha work should he done , and w ho could do it so well as those who had been executing that work for years ? They were then determined to become their own masters , and to receive the benefit of their industry . ( Cheers ) Their
cause was just-itwas one of right , but a silent might attempted to oppress it . The public had , however , heard ofthe ^ ustice of their cau 3 e , and had pronounced a . verdict in their favour . ( Loud Cheers . ) They would establish theirown little workshops , and beabletobenefitthemselvej , Sh nIaD 1 r \ f ^ - dtheirC 0 Untr ? - They predetermined to accomphsh their purpose , or die in theattempt . ( Cheers . ) He concluded byproposing , the following resolution :-That many of the employers of London aud Lancashire having closed their workshops , this meeting is of opinion that theirconduct is unjust , and particularly oppressive to non-members and labourers , and pledges itself to use every exertion in obtaining subscriptions on behalf of all whoare thrown out of employment . " Mr . J . Potts seconded the resolution .
Mr . W . &BTT 1 OS , who , in rising to speak to the first resolution , was received with great applause , said that when ttiey had last met , they bad made certain promises of their intentions , and he thought that they had fulfilled them . * irat , they had promised moderation and discretion in all their actions , and they had done nothing yet that could be objected to even by their opponents . Nevertheless , thev had not escaped some censure . Mr . Newton mentioned somopapers which though at first opposed to them , had now moderated their tone , and condescended to argue with them . The writer in one of these papers had said that they were a parcel of paid demagogues who lived on the earnings of the working men . Why , they-that room full ot working mechanics—who knew their conduct and their proceedings , could answer that charge better than he Chears
( . ) For himself , he could only say that he bad never received a farthing in his life for advocating any cause ; that he had never been the paid lecturer of anybody ; that he had never sold an opinion for gold in all his life , and he challenged Sidney Smith to make the same assertion—that Sidney Smith who was the paid lecturer of the Anti Corn Law League—that Sidney Smith who was the paid secretary of the Electioneering Committee of the City of London , and who assisted Baron Rothschild to expend between £ 30 000 and £ 40 , 000 on the City elections—who was the paid a » ent of the Registration Society—who , in fact , as a professional paid secretary , had been up in the market for many years past . Why , if they ( the men ) wanted the services of such a person , they might have outbid their employers , and obtained the services of Mr . Sidney Smith . He
had stated before that he was sure the employers of London hadbeen deceived into this combination , because he found that the masters had ; had three resolutions placed categorically before them as the demands of the men , one of which required the discharge of labourers working at machines . He defied them to say that the society ever issued such a request , and he did not hesitate to say that it was a fraud which bad been practised upon the London employers by " Amicu 3 " and the Manchester deputation to frighten them into a moral conspiracy . It had been plainly stated , that , if the men would withdraw their notices , the masters would be in a position to remove all obstacles . He could only say , if the " Times" were the organ of the employers , that he hoped they would adopt that suggestion , as a means of settling the question . The
men were pertectly prepared to withdraw their requests on a guarantee from the employers to give them what thev desired . He believed with the " Standard " that the op ' - position of the employers would drive the workmen into those labour clubs which would teach them how to establish their own workshops , and entirely reconstruct the relations between the employers and the employed . That such would be the case he fully believed . Such steps as had been already taken in that direction were highly encouraging , and they were determined to go forward by the devotion to that purpose of whatever funds they had . The division of labour could he carried on as well as before , while it would be for the benefit of the producers of wealth when they would become the masters of their own
industry and come more immediately in contact with the consumers . Mr . Newton having entered into details of the co-operative system , a reference to which has been already made in these columns , concluded by earnestly calling on the men to exercise the utmost moderation in their conduct . If they had any respect for the council—any confidence in those * h 6 had taken a prominent part in their affairs—if they believed that they were actuated by disinterested motives , he called on them to be discreet for their sakes . The council would be held responsible for their conduct , and therefore their conduct must be all that was correct in the sight . of the public , all that was just in the eye of the law , and all that their own consciences could approve . ( Great cheering . ) The resolution was then put and oarried unanimously .
Mr . Bbaddbn then proposed , and Mr . Read seconded , the following resolution , which was carried unanimously : — " A 3 a means of removing the evils which beset the condition of working men in relation to the unjust conduct of employers is self-employment on a co-operative basis , this meeting is of opinion that workshops should be immediately commenced by the workmen themselves , in order that the business of the country may be proceeded with . " The meeting then separated .

On Wednesday the establishment of Mr . now , machinist and millwright , High-street , Whitechapol , was added to the list of engineering establishments previously closed in tho metropolis . It appears , according to the statements of the workmen , that Mr . Horn , on Saturday last , having previously given notice of his intention to close on that day , with other members of the Employers' Association , agreed to . accede to the propositions put forward by tho Amalgamated Society , and it was settled in consequence that work should go forward as usual on the following Mondny . The men accordingly repaired to the shop on
Monday , and continued at work until Wednesday morning , when some dissatisfaction was expressed" by Mr . Horn , owing to tho fact of his compliance with the demands of the workmen having been made public . The men urged that it was necessary on their part , to communicate the circumstance to tho public , in order to stand fair with their fellow-workmen , adding that they were prepared to turn out if Mr . llorn felt inclined to draw back from his engagement ; and after some further discussion they left in a body , and the establishment was forthwith closed .
At a meeting of tho Executive Council on Wednesday night , the council proceeded to the consideration of the mean * by which support could be best provided for the workmen thrown out of employment ; and , amongst other means , it was decided that an appeal should be made to tho workmen still remaining employed in the following terms : — AMALGAMATE SOCIETY Or ENGINEERS , &G . " Tho Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society have come to tho following resolution , which they hope every member of the society will see the necessity of comply , ing with , as , in tlie important contest now going on , every thing depends on the support afforded .
" We do not anticipate that the subscriptions will belong required , for if the men do not return to work on the terms requested by the society , a few weeks will servo to place them in employment for themselves : — "' Resolved , —That the executive council request every member of the Amalgamated Society to subscribe one day ' s wages every week until they receive further instructions . ' "In order that the above resolutions may be fully carried into effect , each branch or district committee is instructed to immediately organise the most effectual system of collocting subscriptions in their respective localities . " Jas . Musto , President , .. „ , ^ " Wm . Alias , Gen . Sec . " General Office , London , 25 , Little Alio-street , "Jan . 14 , 1852 . "
'a . u . —It is expected that all persons engaged in the Iron Trade will subscribe . " It is understood that a day ' s wages has been fixed as the weekly contribution , instead of a fixed sum of money , in order to preserve tho same per centage upon the workmen's earnings ; the wages varying in the different districts from 3 G « . to 243 . por week , and even lower . The proceedings terminated by tho appointment of receiving-houses for public contributions towards the general relief fund . Wo understand that returns have been received from fifty out of sixty-two branches of moulders , of which tiieir society is composed , and that the number of hands discharged throughout tho country Mis considerably short of the number formerly anticipated . In London , however , such is not the case , the numbor expected to be discharged having been 187 , aud the number actually returned about 170 .

NATIONAL LOAN SOCIETY . There was a full attendance of the members of this society , at the Chartist Hall , Golden-lane , on Wednesday evening . Mr . Batten in the chair . Mr . Wheelergave in a report of the state of the finances , outstanding loans , tyc . After some discussion the secretary was instructed to write to all parties who were in arrears with their loanB , informing them that unless their arrears were paid by the first "Wednesday in Aug . their security would be declared forfeited , and
disposed of . Mr . Wheeler reported the result of a long interview with the Official Manager , which , upon the whole , was considered to be favourable to the interests of the shareholders , though it appeared probably , from legal obstacles thrown in the way of the Manager , and from his desire to create a wholesome rent roll , prior to effecting a sale of the property that the period of declaring a dividend would be deferred longer than many shareholders had anticipated .

The Secretary was instructed to issue a notice to all localities , requesting them to nominate forthwith t \ vo fit and proper persons to fill the vacancies in the Committee , caused by the resignations of Ernest Jones and Thomas Martini Wheeler , and forward such nominations , addressed to him as above , on or bclore Wednesday , January 28 th , a 3 all nominations received after that dato will be null and vjid . t The Committee then adjourned to Wednesday evening , January 21 st .

I . ; West , 6 d . ; Chartton , 4 d . —After considerable discussion ns to the individuals to bo invited , and the policy to be adopted , nnrt several motiong and amendments , the following resolution was moved by Mr . Ernest Jones : — " That the Delegate Council invite no speaker to speak on their behalf at any of their meetings , who is not prepared to dissuade the people from lenaing support to any reform movement short of the People s Charter . '—In his opinion tho fate of the movement depended upon their decision . A delegate meeting of the Lnartistg of Yorkshire and Lancashire was tlmn being held to discuss the same subject . If they succumbed to the measures of tho middle class , they would be indefinitely
postponing tho attainment of the Charter . —Mr . Murray seconded tho resolution . The Financial Reformers would not allow Chart ' ats to spoak at their meetings ; and it was bad policy to allow them to promulgate their views at Chartist meetings . They should invite men ia whose sentiments tho country had confidence . — Mr . Nicholls opposed tho motion . A man might be a good Chartist even though ho belongod , as he himself did , to the Parliamentary Reform Association . At a Chartist meeting he should never think of advising tlie people to ) Oin the Parliamentary Reformers . It was highly unjust not to allow their opponents to speak . —Mr . Jones explained that any peraon could move an amendmont if he thought proper , but it was not right that thev should soeak with
the authority of that Councl . —Messrs . Cottle and Fairer opposed the motion as calculated to create opponents . — Messrs .

Holyoake , and Mr . Nicholls , were nominated to bo invited by the Secretary to address the meeting—On the vote being taken , Messrs . O'Brien and Holyoake were rejected . —Mr . Murray suggested inviting the recently elected Executive , and a ' fter a short discussion the subject dropped . —A motion was then made that the Secretary of the Exucutivo bo invited to attend the meeting to enrol members . In the courso of the discussion which ensued , Mr . E . Jones was requested to give some further
explanation as to the cause of the resignations in the Executive . —Mr . Jones thought it was not a portion of tho business of tho Council . In relation to himself lie did not think that his honour as a gentleman demanded any further explanation than that contained in his letter . Neither could he give it without entering on personal matters . — Mr . Clark : They had no claim upon the services of the recently appointed Secretary , as they did not pay him . — He believed tho Executive was defunct . —After some further conversation , the matter dropped without any decision being come to . A discussion took place relative to the principles of the rules of the Council , which resulted in E . Jones offering to insert them on the covers of his "Notes to the People . " The offer was accepted , and the Council adjourned .

" The lecturer very happily showed that the same wonls and actions bore very different constructions when applied to the poor to which they bore when applied to tho rioh , and gave a host of familiar illustrations . Re then showed the misery brought about by the present isolated stato of working men , and
concluded by recommending association as the only menns by which they could ever obtain either political or social independence—Mr . F . Cnrzon , in a very eloquent manner , supported some , and disputed others , of the lecturer ' s observations . —Mr . T . Wheeler replied to the objections of Mr .

ADDRESS FROM THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL . Oa Saturday night an address was adopted by the councU ^ which commences with the three resolutions passed at their meeting on the previous Tuesday , and which appeared in our last issue . It then proceeds as follows : — " This is such a contest as has never before occurred between the employers and the employed . The independence and welfare of the labourer is threatened . The right of a working man to dispose of himself is jeopardised , and in its place a power is sousht to be established , enabling the employer to command the service of his workpeople night and day without intermission . Was ever slavery so bad as this ? If a man claims liberty from his master after he has done his work , he is stigmatised as being dictatorial and mischievous . The old feudal times have passed away , when the baron had a property in the person of his retainer ; but their spirit is inherited by our employers of to-day , * nd they seek to own and dispose of our persons at will , and to enslaye and degrade our minds by destroying all our opportunities for mental improvement . " There is but one way in which this can be met—workmen mnst work for themselves—the labour of the country D 5 U 3 t be done . In every town let an organisation be commenced at once . Let every-man find some employment . Gather together all the tools you possess . Instead of paying the funds of the society to men kept in compulsory idlereBS , receive your money as tho due reward of industry . In the manufacturing districts there is much work to be had , which must be done . In London Easton and Amos ' s men have already formed their co-operative association , subscribed their own money to the amount of £ 5 each , and appointed their manager . Tbey are also negotiating for a workshop , and have got work to do . "Wherever you can , do likewise . Interest the public in your behalf * by being moderate and well behaved . The man who as ? auits another , whatever he may do , or whatever be may say , is a traitor to the cause of progress . If your employers cast you upon the world , makeup your minds to do without them , and with a self-reliance worthy of Englishmen—with j a devot ' oa worthy of the cause of labour—strive to meet the crisis by earnest efforts on behalf of your order . " yon-society men must be protected—be that our duty . We will appeaHothe conntry in behalf of the labourers and -non-society mem Those who are first called independent workmen , and then sacrificed for their own protection , must he cared for by their own order . If 4 , 000 of our members are thrown out of employment , the other 8 , 000 must devote part of their means to support them till employment . is found . If G . 000 are thrown ont of employment ; the Other ? , if necass&ry , must divide their earnings . An endeavour may be made to punish you for that . The employers will , perhaps , say that you are not at liberty to do what you like with your money after you Have earned it . Let the world see that you value rational liberty above all things , and do it the more earnestly because you are doing it for a permanent benefit . Yon will have the satisfaction of knowing that your . subscriptions are not wasted upon idle men , but are in part bestowed on the establishment of the means of labour . " Subscriptions from the public can be obtained in every district , and our members who remain in employment will be called upon to support those who are out with liberal hand . Every district will be dealt with alike ; no advantage will be given to one place over another ; and labourers and son-society men must subscribe to assist in supporting labourers and non-society men who are out . To do this systematically , we request that all monies be sent to our general secretary , made payable at the "Whitechapel Postoffice , and they will then be apportioned to each district equitably .

MEETDJG OF THE WORKMEN . A numerous meeting of workmen took place on Saturday flight , at the Phoenix Tavern , Ratdiff-cross . Mr . John Elgin , engineer , presided . ' Mr . AiiAS , general secretary of the Amalgamated So-¦ aiety , said he had nothing to communicate respecting the dispute in London , beyond what they all knew themselves . it appeared that Manchester and London were the places Vfhera the great question between capital and labour was to be contested . At Oldbam , Bolton , and some otherplacea , the shops had been closed against the men ; but at a large establishment in Bristol ( Messrs . Slaughter ' s ) an arrangement had been made between the employers and employed , to the effect that the terms demanded by the men should be conceded until the present contest was decided . Two shops established by the workmen would be ready for business next week , and they had every prospect of success . The society had offered to submit the whole case in dispute to arbitration , but the masters refused . The Executive Council also offered to meet the executive of the Masters ' Society , and that offer was also rejected . He felt convinced that the cause of the workmen was just , and that they would receive a large amount of public sympathy , and support . ( Cheers . ) JUr . Kewios aaid he had but very few words to say on this occasion . He recommended there should be no picketting o ? shops , or speaking to men who remained at work , or were going to take job 3 in place of those who had been discharged . ( Hear , hear . ) As Englishmen , they should rely on their own exertions of future support . Let them « nly think of their employers as men with whom they had Lad a business connexion , without caring whether they again entered into contact with them or not . If the employers could work for the public without the assistance of the Amalgamated Society , let them do so without molestation . Let them employ any hands they could find . ( Hear hear . ) The members of the Amalgamated Society had worked for years in the trade , and were masters of all its details , and therefore they were fully competent to deal with the masters without the interference of a third party . If they might be out of work for a time , that was no more than what might be expected , for there was scarcely a situation in the trade worth a month ' s purchase . There was scarcely a man in the trade that would not sell his situation for £ 5 in consequence of the precariousne 3 S of his position . The workmen were now abont establishing workshops of their own , and they hoped that those institutions would soon afford a practical example of the benefits derivable from ajlf-cmployment . Having again inculcated moderation and temperance in all their proceedings , Mr . Newton concluded auiid loud cheers . The meeting , having been addressed by several operatives , dispersed . Two policemen were in attendance , watching the proceedings of this and the former meeting .

Goodfellow ' s establishment , at Hyde ; and Naysmith , of Patrioroft , also closed , throwing ont sixty Amalgamated and about ISO or 200 other workmen . From this despatch it appears that a large proportion cf tfco Manchester employers did not act up to the threat , as if they had done so , the number of members of the Amalgamated So-, ciety thrown out woald have amounted to about 1 , 000 or 1 , 700 . _ It was stated at tbe council meetiDg that several influential London firms in discharging thehTmen on Saturday , requested them to remain at work until orders in hand were completed , offering for that period to comply with the terms proposed by the Amalgamated Society .

Bristol—At a meeting of the Bristol branch of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers and Mechanics , last week , the general feeling was that it was advisable to avoid a rupture between the men and their employers , if possible , many of them having been on mutual terms of good understanding for a long series of years , and the employers' rules ia respect to overtime calling for very little interference on the part of the Amalgamated Society . In reference to the firm of Stothert , Slaughter , and Co ., by whom the majority of the engineers , 4 c , in Bristol are employed , it was specially resolved , "that Mr . Slaughter , having expressed himself of opinion that the' practice of working overtime is injurious to the employer and the employed , he be requested to allow his workmen to continue working at the rate of six days per week until the trade differences

FORMATION OF A CO-OPER&TIVE SOCIETY . A crowded meeting was held on Monday night at the Goldsmiths' Arms , Southwark-bridge-road . Shortly after seven o ' clock the chair was taken by Mr . John Laing . The Chairman said that the meeting had been called for the purpose of laying before them what had been done in that district with regard to carrying out the Co-operative principle . There had been two or three such associations started on that side of the water , and their desire was to amalgamate them all into one , so that their interests should
not clash . The Southwark branch had been in treaty for the premises of Messrs . Horton , but he was sorry to say that they would be unable to obtain them . He was one of a deputation that had that day waited upon Messrs . Hertons' man of business , ia the hope of concluding the terms on which the premises should be taken ; but when he related the object for which the premises were required , he was plainly told that they could not be let to any parties who were concerned with the Amalgamated Society of Engineers , although formerly he had expressed great willingness to let them . This , he firmly believed , was owing to tho interference of the masters . ( Hear . ) They had , however other premises in view ; and one employer had promised to do any amount of boring ' . md planing for them , out required the assistance of powerful engines ! ( Cheers . )
It was necessary to state that in this movement they were assisted by some capitalists , who had undertaken to take the premises—who would be responsible for the payment of the rent , and would advance money for any amount of stock that they might put upon the premises . In the progress of their works also , as it advanced , those gentlemen would be prepared to increase their advance of money , because as they expended labour on every raw material , its marketable value was enhanced , and that they considered was a good security for any money they might require . At the same time those capitalists would be bound not to take advantage of the position of the men , and would not withdraw their
capital so long as the moderate interest of 4 J per cent , continued to be paid upon it . ( Cheers . ) He wished to be understood , that they did not intend to dislocate themselves from the Amalgamated Society . They went hand-in-hand with the society ; and so soon as the general rules of the Central Association should be drawn up , this association would merge into it , and become a branch association . They had received several offers of work , and their prospects altogether were more encouraging . Of course , they could not commence until they had premises , but he had every reason to believe that , so poon as they could state the place for orders to be sent to , they should be able to find work for a number of their membera . ¦ 1
Mr . Moscur inquired how they were to govern the management of the funds ? The Chairman said that it woula be observed that the whole management would be under the control of the shareholders . The reason why they had determined to conduot th business in the name of one person was , that doing to was found to be the principal element of suocess in the co-operative shops already established . Mr . G . Davis stated that they had only commenced their association on that nigbt week and they had alroaly got twenty-seven shareholders , and all deposits were paid up . ( Cheers . ) r Several other questions having been put and answered , Mr . Moxctm announced his intention of taking twenty shares , and several others followed his example . The following resolution was proposed , viz . — "That , in the opinion of this meeting , it is desirable to amalgamate the whole of the Co-operative Societies founded in this district under one head , " and unanimously agreed to . On Monday night there were meetings of all the branch associations of . tho Amalgamated Society , at their respecive club-rooms , at which the question of advancing £ 10 , 000 from the fund of £ 25 , 000 for the purpose of establishing tbe co-operative principle was discussed , and the TOtes of the members taken . The feeling was general in favour of the proposition of the Executive Council , but no return of the votes has yet been made .

The conductors of a large foundry near Wigan say they object to join the masters' combination , having always objected on principle to combinations of the workmen ; but they still desire to keep good faith with the masters , and will consequently close their works at the same time .

THE GUN LOCK FORGERS AND FILERS OF DARLASTON AND WEDNESBURY . A correspondent informs us that in consequence of low wages , and short time , a man working fourteen hours per day cannot earn more than 12 s . per week . There are between 500 and 600 men in this branch , 120 of whom are fully employed by government , the others remaining nearly idle . Competition has been tbe ruin of this , as well as cthev trades . The government requires tenders for their orders , which are rendered so low by unthinking men , that Ibfcy cannot allow their workmen a fair remuneration for their labour . We understand that in consequence of this state of things , the men contemplate a strike for an advance of prices .
