GREAT FIRE AT MONTREAL . On the 7 th inst . Montreal was visited with a most destruotive conflagration , which has laid in ashes a considerable number of buildings in the business part of onrcity . It commenced at sis o ' clock , a . m ., at the corner of Sfc , Peter and Lemoy ne-streets , in the carpenters shop of J . 'Har < Bin ,. whieh , together with his residence , was quickly-consumed , and two of his children were burned to death . One died on the spot and the other in the course of the after * soon .
From this point the fire extended to old St . Andrew ' s Church , which , together with the dwelling-house of J . Mahoney , and several out-buildings , was destroyed . On the opposite side of the street , the store of Ryan Brothers and Co ., and 2 fo- 21 ( warehouse ) were burned down , with a large quantity of valuable goods in them . OUter buildings in the neighbourhood , including those of Stephen G . MUIs , Torrance and Busteed , J . and J . Mitchell , and Lewis and Levine ' s Exchange Hotel were in great danger , and were saved only by the most strenuous exertions of the firemen .
A strong wind from the south-west carried the devour * ingelement to St . Panl ' s-Etreet , destroying in its passage the toofe of two houses in St . Francis and Xayier-steets beloaeing to Mr . Dewitt . and occupied a 3 exchange offices . The Commercial Buildings occupied by the Imperial Customs Department , and others , were also consumed Also , the store of Seymour and "Whitney , and some outbuildings of Frothingham and Workman , but their store waB saved . The fire then extended its ravagea on both aides of the B treet as far down as Little and Joseph-Btreets , where it waa subdued . Several houses facing the Bteamboat landings were consumed . B 8 Total loss estimated at £ 250 to £ 300 , 000 . * Press of matter compels postponement until next week of tha n > solut ions , ana of the Womau ' sffights tonrcntion . '

FREE TRADE SYSTEiL-WHERE WILL IT END ? T O TH E EDITOR OF THE STAB OF FREEDOM , . Sib , —During the last three years we have had what is termed a prosperous'trade , in the manufacturing districts , an d yet we find the operatives generally in a miserable atateof poverty . The demand for labour has been unprecedentedi y great , but still the supply has been yet greater . Worn the farming districts of England and Ireland crowds were daily flocking into the towns in this district , especiall y to Bradford , and thus the trades , easy of acquisition , were speedily filled to their utmost limit . This enabled the manufacturers to keep down wages to the panio leval , and during the last year , when a lull took place , to reduce
them to the lowest limit ever before experienced in this neighbourhood . I allude more particularly to the vvoolcomberB . In addition to the extraordinary influx of "hands to this latter trade , combing mach ines have been brought into operation to an enormous extent . Scarcely a week passes that some improvement is not announced and a new patent obtained . One man , Samuel Lister , son of Cunliffe Lister , formerly M . P . for Bradford , cannot have less than twenty patents—some say more—to supersede hand labour , "Were ifc not for these machines , or " devils , " as they are familiarl y termed , forty or fifty thousand operatives vroulo he required in the towns of Bradford , Halifax , Keighley Bingley , and their outskirts , and the manufacturers would be compelled to pay something like a remunerative price for labour whereasthrough the above causes , the best
, , and quickest workmen can scarcely gain a subsistence by long hours of incessant toil ; whilst the slow and inferior workmen are steeped to the lips in hopeless poverty , and the old men are gradually giving up the bootless struggle , and finishing their career in the Union Workhouse . At the same time that there was such an influx into the combing trade , there has also been a great demand for powerloom weavers , and the wages obtained haa induced large numbers of young women to pour into the weaving sheds . Most reluctantly have the employers paid the wages which a limitation of " hands" forced from them , and they are now Btrauiing every nerve to create a surp lus of weavers by adopting the " two loom system , " or causing each weaver to attend two looms , and paying them proportionately less for donble work . Should they succeed in their
nefarious designs , the result will be that the weavers will have to do double the quantity for less than half the price they now obtain . In all directions this Bystem of increased production and reduced wages is taking place . Throughout Leicestershire , Nottinghamshire , and Derbyshire , tke improved frames are making havoo of the framework knitters . We are , therefore , naturally led to aBk—Wheve will it end ? Is there to be so law but that of capital ? Are the people to be murdered in order that a few men may acquire large fortunes ? But we are seriously told that this system is & great public benefit . The political economists gravevely inform xa that all individual losses in these matters is a public gain . Let us see whether such be the fact . They tell ua that it cheapens the cost of manufactured articles . I deny it . On the contrary ; I assert
from experience , that the spurious traah now sold under the names of woollen cloth , Orleans , Coburge , Paramatta ' s , « c ., is a mass of flimsy rubbish , —like the Jew ' a razors , made to sell . —that the mass of so-called woollen cloth is composed of warps made of cotton refuse , and the weft of old woollen rags , picked from the dungheap , ground up , and mixed with a small quantity of wool , to hold it together , which system has brought the Yorkshire woollen trade into | disgrace . I was the other day speaking to a man who gains a livelihood by trading one sort of goods for another . He had been to Leeds , and purohased some cloth . (?) He had some imitation broad cloth , which he purchased for 2 s . 6 d . per yard , and which felt and looked to be worth . 10 s . per yard . Simpletons are thus taken in . In like manner with Orleans , Coburgs , < tc . They are made
^ from cotton-warps and devil-weft . Formerly , when & woman bought a stuff-gown , whether coarse or fine , she had some wear out of it , but now a few weeks ' Sunday wearing and the colours are faded , as cotton and wool wiil not equally hold colours , whilst a few days active work at the wash tub finishes up the flimsy rag . So , in like manner . with the miserable apologies for stockings made in Leicestershire" ; they are made of cast wool , deviled up , and spun to have the appearance of yarn . They are woven on the wholesale slaughtering system , and finished by being placed on wooden shapes , to make them look like regular " wrought hose . " The shopkeepers get as high a price for these sham goods as ' the credulity or ignorance of their customers will permit . In like manner , it is difficult to obtain a pair of stockings worth purchasing . I allude to that description usually worn by working men . Like a whited sepulchre , they have a decent outward appearance , but inside they are a mass of ragged ends and unseemly lumps . ¦ When worn for a week , ten to one vour toes
become rather inquisitive , and peep out , to your great annoyance and discomfort ; or , should they stand the ordeal of the wash tub , when dried , they look iufinitel y more like garters than stockings . Yet thousands of men are kept in a state of semi-starvation to uphold this system of infamous deception . Where then do the public gain by these nefarious practices ? The workmen are deprived of employment ; and those who cannot procure work at miserable wages are compelled to become the recipients of parish pay . The purchasers are cheated , and tbe shopkeepers generally are forced to pay poor-rates to support unwilling idlers who would otherwise be their best customers . Well may we ask—where will this system of competition end ? End it must some time . It carries within itself the seeds of its own destruction , but meanwhile it is destroying the working-classes , wbp , ere long , will be compelled to form a Xa'sour League , or sviffer thot ^ ssl-co to lie blotted ont of thc-Dcok OrLifeT ""*
Scarcely a trade can be mentioned in which neck-break competition , and " the devil take the hindmost , " is not abundantly exemplified . Even Lucifer-matches , which were once sold at a penny a box , are got up in a spurious manner and sold at three boses for a halfpenny . Bat the most provokingpart of tbe matter is , that , if we , who daily experience the bitter curse of this system of deception and fraud should , in the abundance of our contempts , find fault with its aiders and abettors , we are immediately assailed as " Tory tools , " " Protectionists / &c . The upholders of knavery are seldom at a loss for phrases to mislead the public and draw unthinking dupes to their standard . All institutions which tend to uphold this piratical state of things are termed " natural , " " orderly , " " constitutional , " Ac . ; but any approach towards a diminution ofthe Dower of nlunitot . ar . rt
rapacity , is denounced a 3 " anarchy . " This is a pet phrase of the money-scraping fraternity . It haa been made to do some duty of late years , and is an indispensable note in the gamut of the sham patriot . During the late commotions on the continent , every proposed change which was calculated to better the condition of the operatives was declaimed against as anarchical , and the true friends of tue people termed anarchists . So adroit are the enemies of man ' s rights at coining new phrases , or perverting the meaning of old ones , that we shall need an improved dictionary for the benefit of the uninitiated in the science of political iu « - glery . It might proceed in something like the following style : —Anarchy : Any attempt to establish a just state of society . Constitutional Monarch y : A spi d er ' s web to catchatnallflies . 'Anarchist : An upright conscientious man
who desires to do as he would be done by . Civilisation : A scientific mode of fleecing mankind , making them thoroughly wretc h e d , and giving them an abundance of high-sonnding phraseB and senseless jargon in return . Liberator Moder a te : A political mountebank , who can blow hot or cold to suit his own purpose . One who desires to pull down those above him , and trample on all beneath him in the social scale—a faithless , treacherous hypocrite . Absolutist : One who possesses a large estate , or a long purse , wrung from the plunder ofthe people , and who affects to believe in the doctrine of Divine Right—which means , that mankind were created for the benefit of kings and their parasites . Philanthropist : One who cheats his workpeople , and whose name is paraded m the newspapers as a subscriber to ZZ
patns , washhouses . and ragged schools , Ac , &c . It is thus that our language h losmgits common acceptation , throueh the fraudulent proceedings of those who evade the iS . & "In fe sweat of thy brow shalt thoueatbsjad " Were all the evils inflicted on the people bv th ^ a Sa % . * wTLS "SJ&UUS : f &nUiU , : .-as 3 s& % 5 a ? a-rf ! 58 * 5 % 3 fore is our commercial proceedings an endless and intricate mate of deception , avarice , and chicanery , so much so that few men will enter into any transaction of Imnnlf * without the aid of a lawyer a nd wRLtRHS those who have accumulated a faw pounds by their indSsrv are compelled to give a portion of it to some lSSSS ? that their children may obtain quiet possession ° of th £ «

for contractors , who receive nearly all the proceeds of tbeir i « ° uT' - ^ . o ° nctasion has been jumped at without any reliable information to justify it . The best-informed poronss acquainted with China deny the truth of this assumption . The Chinamen , through some of their spokesmen , among , whom a Celestial rejoicing in the name of Hab-Wa is the chief , have published a letter in reply to the Governor ' s message . Hab-Wa and his friends' letter is a most excellent production , and full of sly humour . They tell the Gothat
vernor in their country all great men are learned men , and tnat a man ' s rank is just according to his education . ine inference is obvious , that the Governor , being a great man by virtue of his high office , must of course be also a learned man . This is a severe hit . There is another , ot a more generic character , " We do not deny that many Chinese tell lies ; and so do many Americans , eventn courts of jmhee . Ilab-Wa evidently thinks the latter failing something worse than a " white lie . " The tenour of this letter has turned the tide a good deal in favour of the celestials , and it is sincerely to be hoped that the prejudice against them will soon die
away . , the Governor and Legislature of California will look Deyona the present hour they may recognise a great pur-P . ose m the unprecedented fact of a large Chinese immigrawon . They may welcome the thought of Chinese fellowcitizens , learning their customs , their laws , and their religion . ineir patriotism or their ambition may suggest to them tnat such a race , Chinese in origin , but American by education , may form a convenient link between the States and China itself ; and that , aided by it and their geographical circumstances , the Americans may one day acquire in China J ""™ . 4 Iatio wchi pelago the position now occupied by the British m India .
