      LOKD GODEBICU , | A . A . VANB 1 TTAKT , ESQ . As working-men organised for the management and execution of our own bu » iness , we appeal with great confidence to our fellowworking men for their hearty support . Wo ask that support in the plain words ot plain men , without the usual shopkeeping tricks and falsehoods . We do so because we know that we offer an opportunity for the exercise of a sound economy , but wo make our appeal nv > re particularly because we believe that every honest nrtizan in supporting us will leel that he is perfoi ming a duty to the men of his class , which to overlook or neglect , would be-a treason aud a disgrace * ' ¦ We ask for the support of working-men in the full assurance that no better value can be given for money than that which we offerand we desire success through that support , not solely that we may rescue ourselves from the wretchedness and slavery of the slop sjstem—but more particularly that our fellow-workers of all trades , encouraged by our example , may , through the profitable results of self-management , place themselves aud their children beyond the reach of poverty or crime . Relying on the gooi faith of the people , we await patiently tha result of this apueul . Walter Cooper , Manager . LIST OF PRICES . £ s . d . £ s . d .

      Colonial authorities to aid in the work , and we may expect to hear of more seizures of fishermen who have gone into these waters without any idea of being taken in this manner . This course of proceeding is based on the Convention of 1813 , in which the United States expressly renounces the right " to take , dr . v , or care fish on or within three nwriae miles of an * of tha coaste , bays , creeks , or larboars of his Britannic Majesty's dominions in America , " except where there was no settlement on the coast . Tnere would seem to be no doubt as to the sense of this stipulation . That ii was an oversight on the part of the American <— - —¦ ' " J _ . _ * _ . _ _ __ » ¦ ii _ _ 1 _ . _ t _» jt __¦ a vm a ** a *» m «_> &

      minister who made it , and that be did not know thattho best fishing grounds were within the bays , and not merely within three miles of the general line of the coast , may be facts , bat they do not change the right under tho Con . veniion . As I understand the matter , the Colonies arc leg-iliy justifiable in their present movement . It . is one which they Itava before desired to execute , but until now the home government has not given its assent . —They have claimed that our fishermen were encroaching , and that the Convention ought to be enforced against them , and now at last tbev are authorised to enforce it .

      Mr . Clay ' s trill was presented in Court on Monday of last week , and admitted to record . It is drawn by hia own hand , and bears date July 10 , 1851 . It relates almost entirely « o the disposition of his estate among the members of his family , the only exception being that which relates to his 6 laves , providing that children of his slaves born after the first of January , 1 S 50 , be liberated and sent to Liberia , the males at the age of twenty-eight , and the female a nt twenty-five , three yeare earnin 23 prior to their emancipation to bo reserved for their benefit , for the purpose of fitting them out ; and prior to removal they are to be taught to read , write , and cypher . Slaves in being before 1850 are bequeathed to bis family . Ashland is left to 3 Ir 5 . Clay , for her sole use and benefit during her life , and after her deal h to be sold , and the proceeds to be divided among his children .

      It will no doubt be in t eresting to your readers to mark the sodden progress made in aay enterprise begun in this country . Compared with your slow coaches of the " Fatherland , " oar cities spring into existence like Aladin's fairy palace , in the " Arabian Night ' s Entertainments . " But ev . » n our go a head Tankeydom is out Yankeyed by the fast men of California . The following account , for example , of the growth of Sonora , a Califoruian city , will give yaa soca ^ dea of what " progress" is made in the modern Ei Dorado I copy this description from the " Sonora Her ald" of . Mav 26 : —

      Our mountain city has been for the last year stea-lily on the in create . A < ldiu < ns to onr population have been all tlie time pour ins in—cenDrally of the more industrious class—while , in the meantime we . have been purginc ourselves of the reckless and worthless characters who tiirnvrty cursed the town with their presence , an ^ cave it a bv ! reputation elsenhere . Since we came to reside in S'inora , which was within the last nine months , we have noticed with much eratifi-ati < . n the gradual and healthy chan-je which has been taking place in this respect . The days when the desperadoes ofth-3 knife and the pistol ruled in the streets of Sonora . are past for ever ; and a more orderly or well governed community is not to be found in the State . In other respects , too , wehave advanced with Calif . irnian strides . But ajearago , and there was but sorrv accommodation here , in any respect , for the wayfarer or the > tr . ing ? r . Now , in publ : c accommodationswe

      , will compare favourably—considering that we are far up in the mountains—with the lsrser ci'ies of the State . Our town was oriffinally Spanish , started by Mexican miners and traders—who tonne ! the bulk of the population . It was ' . Jike all Spanish eacamnnraits in this country , a temporaiy ci-ncern , thrown uBfor present wants ; ana as dissimilar as possible from what a new Amercantownwonia he . American lihour and enterprise , and the unfiaspng taergy of the American mind were not yft hereto darelop ana give snaps to fie plentiful materials awaiting the muds of the patient toiler . The great tide of American emizra . tion was d > ver : e « lnnrlh ; and but a small remnant fonnd its way hitherward . until within ill ? last rear , when it became noised

      throughout the State thatTuolnmne was as rich in deposits of the preci ras ore as any other distric , and that she possessed but a aparse ] iopnlat : r-n , though unequalled in the extcn « ivene « of her placere ? . Since this has become known through the columns of the * Herald ' an . l otherwise , a steady stream of theri « ht sort of emigrants has bren coming this way ; aud one of the results of the suca-ss of their operations is Ihe steady growth of Sou ma in suburban directions , and fie improvement j KOinj * on every dav in the older portions of the city . The mining interest is the creat cornerstone on which rests for support all bnnches of business in our connty . And it is no flmsy or precarious support which it affords , but one which wiil last beyond our time , and secure what is mot to b = desire . !—a lasting prosperity .

      Inclosed yon will find a few words relative to a few of our friends who are bent npon working out the problem of the Organisation of Labour . I will be sincerely happy to hear of their complete success . I will endeavour to obtain information respecting their operations and progress , for the benefit of those of yonr readers who are interested in the Co-operative movement . Ths Free Soil party have at last begun to move , Venn to show , a determination that tl : e Whi 53 and pro-slavery ~ " Democrats" aie not to have it all their own way . If they are only active now , and take advantage of the strom * feelm ? that has been raised by the eloquent speeches of

      Townshend and Giddings , I believe they may be able to seat their candichte in she Presidential chair . Their committee have issued the following notice : Xatkwal CosvEsnos—Xotice is hereby given , that a National Convention . con-istm of delegates of the free democracy , will assemble at the city of Pittsbnrg . on Wednesday , the llth day of «! f ) ffi f ;? , tn ??'' ^ I .

JAMAICA . —\ \ - naye received our files of Kingstondamaica—pape to July S A verv alarming ehock of earthquake was felt on the 7 th ult . " its duration has been estimated at as much a 3 three minutes by some ; and the very least duration one minute and a half . The undu a-

      tions were distinctly perceptible , and were from north to south . Pools and tanks of water wereazitated , as it would be in vessels held and shaken to and fro in tho hand . Furniture , merchandise , signs and houses were seen in motion ; —and almost universalfv the inhabitants were made qualmish by the sensations produced . Every pendulum clock in town waa stopped by the shock ! No further damage wa 3 done—unless we consider as such the crocking of a wall in premises adjoining the bakery of Messrs . Verley and B-obinson , aud in one or two other places , and the falling of thereof of an old shed .

      It is stated that Sir Charles Grey will shortly be superseded in his government , and by tlie next mail his successor will be name " d . The smallpox is greatly on the increase in Manchester , and a vast number of people are suffering from the measles . The smallpox has ma : e its appearance at Black River . The increase of vagrancy , prostitution , and juvenile crime in Kingston , is keeping pace with the progress of misery in tho whole island . The streets are paraded by gangs of depraved creatures of both sexes and all ages , at all hours ; and it is scarcely possible for a respecta ' -le individual to appear iu them , without being disgusted by their horrible expressions ; while , at night , shops , stores , and houses , arc closely watched , tried , and in some cusea entered and robbed Uy them

      BAItBADOES . —From Barbadoes our date 3 are to the 12 th July . The Legislature was in session , and the new Tariff Biil , abolishing tho Imperial Customs , and assimilating the Imperial and Colonial duties on imports had passed the second reading , an amendment vesting thenppointtnent of the new staff of officers in the local government , instead of in the Board of Customs as at first intended , having been carried and embodied in tbo Bill . SOCIETY ISLANDS . —Advices have been reseived from the Society Islands , statin ? that Riatea has been the scene of a conflict between the Republicans and the Royalists . The half-breed native who was elected by tho for er as President pro . tern ., was overpowed and forced to flee with

      his troops before the sudden assaults of the Royalists . The Republicans , however , rallied , received strong reinforcements and marched against Queen Ponvire ' s troops , repulsing them with considerable loss of life on both sides , and reinstating their President . Queen Pomare , hearing of tho defeat of her troops , hastened in person to Itiatea , to turn the tide of war . She was assailed Tith great fury and barely escaped with her life , by taking refuge on board a French frigate . This vessel arrived at Lihaina , Maui , one of the group of Sandwich Islands , on the loch ult ., the day on which his vessel sailed from that port—having on board the Queen of the Society Islands , who has thus been forced to abdicate her throne .

A Siraxce Stoky . —The Bavarian journals state that as three young peasant » irls were three days ago wa'king in the Valley of Ratisbonne , they were struck by lightning ; and that one of them was driven perpendicularly into the earth , to such a depth , that it took some time to dig her out , and even to reach her head ; she was quite dead . One of the other girls , it is added , was seriously wounded in the breast , and the third became insensible for a short time . Ax explosion of fire-damp took place last week in the coal pits of Kerkraede ( Limhurg ) , by which four men were killed and two others much burned . The accident was

      caused by the imprudence of a workman in not taking proper precautions . —Galignani . Gustavus Adolphus at Heligoland . —Of all our colonial settlementsor dependencies beyond the seas , the little Isle of Heligoland in the North German waters is the least , costly or troublesome . Its utility as an advanced sentry-box to ourselves , and its invaluable worth as the site of a great northern beacon to all ma > iners , need no commentary . It is seldom that any transaction occurring in t . i 9 onpretending spot is chronicled in newspapers . The remote insular territory of Queen Pomare is much more frequently heard of , with it doings in the distant Pacific ; nay the Island of Ichaboe , " looming" far off on tho coast of

      Africa , occupies a far greater space at least in the agricultural eye . The news from this holy islet would have kiudled additional fervour in the bosom of Captain Dalgetty , where he alive to learn the tidings of a statue being at last erected in the British possessions to the great Lion of the North and Bulwark of the Protestant relision . How that desideratum among the trophies which should adorn Iler Majesty ' s dominions , and the tributary memorials which monumental art should have long since erected to that gallant champion of the faith came to be accomplished without a drawback or disfigurement , the interference of a committee , or the perpetration of a job , we hasten to explain . A Hamburgh paper has the following intelligence : — statue in

      " A very largo bronze of Gustavus Adolphus , king of Sweden , designed by M . Vo « elbjerg at Home , and ca * t in the Royal foundry at Munich , fell last year into the sea near Heligoland , as it was being conveyed to Gothenburg , in Sweden . It was got up by the inhabitants of the island , but they demanded such an exorbitant sum for salvage that tlie municipality of Gothenburgh refused to pay it , and left the statue to them . A week ago it was put up for sale by public auction by the islanders , and about 1 , 200 persons assembled . The upset price was 1 , 800 marcs , and only one offer was made , that of 2 , 000 marcs [ 7 , 270 f . ] After a delay of three hours , the auctioneer declared the statue sold for that sum , and it turned out that the purchasers were the municipality of Heligoland . The amount given is not equal to one-fourth of the value of the metal alone , and as a work of art it possesses great merit . "

      We congratulate the islanders on the process by which they have got such an appropriate as well as ornamental addition to the simply utilitarian glories of their lighthouse .

      THE THEATRES . OLYMPIC . A new Comedy , from the pen of Mr . Morcton , entitled 'Sink or Swim , ' was produced at this house on Tuesday night . It is a free and easy adaptation in plot and character of many familiar stage traditions , worked up together into a pleasant , rattling , rapid and lively tittle pieo-. A . youn Lerd Yawnly ( Mr HoskiiiR ) is dying of tnnui from the repletion of happiness , and he gapes through t « vo or three scenes , calling to mind , with unintentional ingenuity , the cleverness of Charles Mathews in ' Used up . ' At the ihi'd or fourth scene he hits upon an idea , and determines upon drowning him-elf . He rushes to a river bank , and by a str iige coincidence , just as he is ab put to take tho fatal leap , he tumbles across a contemporary contingent suicide in the person of Adam Sterling dlr-Farren ) . The rencontre lea'Is to a conversation crowded vith jocose reflection , odd in gentlemen who have determined on temporary insanity ; and the 'situation' cxcite 3 treat appl use . Adam

      Sterliii ; is a merchant—gay at Bristol ; and he is bent on self destruction , with the ordinary pertinacity of stace British merchants , in consequence of his partner , as staite mercantile partners some , rimes do . having fraudulently run off with ( he whole funds of the firm . The conversation leads to a proposal that both suicides shall adjourn the respective felo de se until the peer has hand- d to the merchant all the money required to render the latter sol vent again : and so the scene closes by both individuals walking away arm-inarm . The merchant has of course one daughter , and of course the peer falls in love with her : the beautiful pasiou producing the routine effect , and converting apathj into overwhelming activity , bustle , and energy . The new qualities of the young nobleman are speedily called < nto play . As he and the old merchant are enjoying an odd combination of double Gloucester and sparkling Moselle and talking over their arrangements for death , news rushes into the par our from the bedrooms that the daughter has been carried oft by some midnight ruffians in the back scenes Lord Yawnly suddenly remembers that he had heard of this abiuction beinir contemplated , the hero of it being a blackleg " liose s ( cioty he had endured , in his indolence , and whose r isculities had amused him in his ennui . Of course he rushes off . recaptures the damsel , reoeives the father ' s bh ssini » , and is formally betrothed The suicides

      ace indefinitely postpnned . Meanwhile , ut his own biuse , a scheme has bean hatching against him . A good-natured uncle , ignorant of the changed character of the nephew , has resolved to read him a lesson upon the value of his advantages in life , in ths hope of r . ms ing him to exertion . The plot is to ¦ eau ihe peer to helieve that he U wrongfully possessed of the title and the fortune : that his fosterbrother , a gardener ( Mr . Coinpton ) is the real lerd ; im-l that the transpnsition originated in the stock trick of the nurse , ' who had promoted her own child to the advantage of the high born infant entrusted to her by others . Upon this occurs somo amusing acting by Compton , and some high flown sentiments by Mr . Hoskins ; and in tho end , when the uncle reveals the temporary fraud , there is great rejoicing , the usual junction of hands , and the full of Ihe curtain amid immense calls for the company and the author . The acting was exceedingly good- Mr . FniTen was , in the one necessary scene , the perfect comedian , representing with vividness and force , by a few touches * the ruined and broken-hearted old man ., In all the other scenes he acted far : e , aud condescended to the grimace required by tho piece . Mr . Comp'on gave his broad burlesque with uis usual heartiness . Mr . 6 . Cooke , always a careful and keen actor , made much of the cha ucter of the undo , and Mrs . Walter Lacy , as the pretty daughter , looked and did very graceful the business of ihe part .

      ASTLEY'S . We paid a visit tothi 3 popu ' ar place of amusement on Tuesday evening last , and were never better entertained The performance commenced with ' Peter the Great , or the Storming of MavienbourKh . ' An a ' lmired and historicnl spectacle in Hiveo acts , from the pen of Mr . Fitzball . It illustrates the incidents connected with the paasion of the Czar for Catherine . In the first act Cut' erine . is the cause of saving the life of Peter , who whs left wounded on the battle field . And for this action she is ordered to ho beheaded , by the governor of Uarienbourghi who has driven off the Russinns , Peter arrives , however , just before the governor ' s orders are put into execution , and extricates Catherine from h < -r p-ritous vituo . tion . In the second act the casualties are of a different complexion . Peier has resolved to make Catherine Empress ; but the nobili y have a great aversion to it , nnd enter into a conspiracy to take away tue life of the Emperor . One- more Catherine rescues the Autocrat from a violent death . The third and last net . shows how the Vrineess Eudorin , who is desirous of changint ! the dynasty by placing her son on the throne , having failed in depriving Peter of his life , conspires against Catherine . The poisoned halice , intended for the object of her hatred , is quaffed b > her son . whose

      Rhost appears , seated on a white horse , at the Wry moment the l'rincess endeavours to sub t e Empress . Euc ' ocia dies , and Catherine is saved . Our space will only allow us to eive : i mere outline of the plot . The character of Peter was sustairied by Mr . Ryder who is a useful addition to the company . The comic parts weie taken by the renowned Barry , and the spirited Miss 1 ' earce , who kept the house in a continual state of laughter , duiipg their performance . ' Peter the Great' is by far the most complete and u'orgeous productions of modern times , and one which bids fair to eclipse even that patent favourite with the puUlic , 'Mazeppa ' Nothing is wanting which taste and liberality can supply in actinir dressing , and scenic effects . Nothing , in fact , is spand , to make it what it is—a vigorous , instructive , aid admirable vehicle of glittering display . 'Peter tho Great' should be witnessed by all . Ihe educated will be delii-hied with the historicnl truthfulness of the detail , and the uneducated wi . l ieek to learn more ; whilst from the moral lesson taught , every child in the metropolis should he taken to see « Peter the Great ; or the Stormins of Marienbourgh . ' The evening a amusements concluded wit some clever feats of horseman = hip in the circle , and a laughubie faww , entitled Draw , ing fer the Militia . '

      1 VAUXI 1 ALL GARDENS . These gardens have been re-opened . The amusements are of a very superior descri ption . The equestrian circus lias been converted into a theatre for the performance of a ballet , which is by no means the Brummagem' affair that might be expect d in suburbad districts Mademoiselle Pieon , the premiere dunseuse , is really an accomplished artist , and the scenic effects are excel , lently managed after the model of the ' Bevcrlefon ' splendours ot the Lyceum . The ballet is decidedl y the grand coup ! but the historian should not pass over in sience the very pretty dioramic view of the Arctic rev-inns , which may bo setn without extra charge , nor a curious contrivance for producing halos of white or coloured light , by means of a novel arrangement of r << flectorc . To say that the Vauxball Fireworks fizz bang , sparkle , form inexplicable patterns , aud shoot out igneous missiles at nothing , would be to utter what Immanuel Kant calls an analytical propos-itinn , ' and when we have recorded that the gentleman who sings comic songs in the orchestra first asks his heavers why the President of France is like a V : iuxha < l Cook , and then explains that is ' Because ho recollects Hain and how he cut it , ' we think we have fairly demonstrated that wit is not at a discount at this establishment .

'I lie circus is one of the grand ' amusements' of the gardens . Besides some very clever equestrians , the proprietor is blessed with the lesseeship < f a posture master , who evidently has no bones at all , and a couple of brother acrobats , who , suspending themselves at a terrific height from thG ground , risked their necks in a stj le which might have awakened a sensation in Tiberius himselt .
