A VINDICATION of the Principles , Objects , and Tendencies of TRADES UNIONS , or Associations of the Working Classes . By , a Uxioxist . London : J . A . Forsyth , Secretary to the Friendly Society of Operative Carpenters , 4 , Charles-street , Hatton-Garden , and Hobson , Northern Star Office , Leeds . " . - Thi « is a sensible well written Treafee . It contains more sonnd sense in a few pages than can be gleaned out of the numerous bulky -volumes of the scribblers on political eeoDomy , whose works are popular with the locusts of the commonwealth . We give the following summary cf principles from the commencement of the book , and shall only further add , that they are ably sustained and -well carried oat through the boot .
1 st .

So man has a , right to that which , he does not produce , ar for which he does not return an equivalent . 4 th . The amount of Tineansamed production constitutes the & £ ricai « J or artificial capital , of which the - producers alone » ie the rightful propr ietors . These are troths immutahle as man ' s existence , bnt which lare hitherto iwen altogether neglected or overlooked throngheal all his arrangemerts of whatever Knd ; with which let us contrast the foundation of that falae theory on which he" has ( rex aefc-d , -and which has proved the source of every evil with » ii-h he ij and has ever been afflicted .

A PRACTICAL EDUCATION . ObetEentto-ihiJi zummons there ranged themselves in front of the school-master ' s desk , half-a-dozen scarecrows , out at knees and elbows , one of-whom placed a torn and filthy book beneath his learned ere . ' This is the -first class in English spelling . umlosGphy , NickJeby , gaid Squeers , beckoning Nicholas " to stand beside him , ' "We'll get np a Latin one , and hand that OTertoyon . Now , then , There ' s the fiwt boj ? ' * Please , Sir , he ' s cleaning jheb&ck parlonr wmdow , ' said the temporary head of the philosophical class . * So he is , to be sure , ' rejoined Squeers . ' We go upon the practical mode of teaching , Xickleby ; the regular education system . C-1-e-a-E , dean , verb active , to make bright , to
scour . Vf-i n , -win , d-e-r , der , -winder , a casement . TThen the boy knows this oat of book , he goes and does it It ' s just the same principle as the use of the globe * . Where ' s the second boy V * Please , Sir , he ' i weeding the garden , ' replied a small voice . * To be sure , ' said Squeers , by no mean * disconcerted . 1 So heis . B-o-t , hot , t-i-n , tin , bottin , n-e-y , ney , botUnney , noun substantive , a knowledge of piano . When hehas learned that botdnney means a knowledge of plants he goes and knows 'em . That ' s ocrmtem , Nickleby ; what do yon think of it . ' * It ' s a Tery useful" oae , at any * rate , ' answered K&jd 1 & 3 significantlj . "I believe jou , ' lejoined Soneers , not remarking the emphasis of his usher .
• Third boy , -a-hat ' s a horse r' * A beast Sir . ' replied & £ boy . -SoitiSj'saidSqueera . ' Ain't it tickleby ? ' *" J believe there is zio doubt ef that , Sir , ' lisvered ^ xicholss ^ 4 Oi ionise there isn ' t , ' said Squeers . * A horse is a quadruped , and QTiadnrped ' g latin for beast , as every body that ' s gone through die grammar knows , or else -irhere ' s the use of having grammars at all ? ' Where , inde - * d ! ' said Nicholas abstractedly . * As you're perfect in that , ' resumed Sqneers , tnrniag to the boy , ' go and look after my horse , and rub him down well , or FH rub you down . The rest of the class go and draw water bj > till somebody tells you to leave oE , for it ' s washing day tomorrow , and they want the coppers filled . ' So saying
ne dismissed the first class to their experiments . in Tsractkalplulojophy , and eyed Nicholas with a look half cunning and half doubtful , as if he were not sltogether certain what he might think of him by t&is time . ' That ' s the war we do it , Nickleby , ' he said , after along pause , ^ iche-las shrnggednis shoulders in a manner that -was scarcely perceptible , and said he saw it ^ ras . * And a very good way it is too , said Sqneers . * Kow . just take those fonrteen little boys and hear them some reading , because yon know you must begin to be useful , and idKng about here -won ' t do . ' Mr . Squeers said this as if it had suddenly occurred to ?» Tn , either that he must not sav too much to Ha assistant , or . that his
assistant did not say enough to him in praise of the establishment . The children -were ranged in a semicircle round the new master , and he -was soon Kitening to their doll * drawling , hesitating recital of those stories of engrossing interest which are to be found in the more antiquated spelling books . In tio « excitmg occupation the morning lagged heavily on . _ At one o'clock , the 1 > oyg having previously had their appetite * thoroughly taken away by stir-abont « id potatoes , sat down in the kitchen to some hard salt t > eef , of -which Nicholas was graciously peraatted to take Ms portion to his own solitary desk , aad to eat there in peace . After this there-was mother hour of crouching in the achool-room and
Haver ing-with cold , and then school began again It was sqneer ' s custom to call the boys together , and make a sort of report after every half-yearly visit Jo the metropolis regarding theTelatioru and friends he had seen , the news he had heard , the letters he had brought down , the bills -which hid been paid , the accounts -which ^ had been left -unpaid , and so forth . This selemn proceeding always took place in the afternoon of the day succeeding Ms return j perhaps because the boys acquired strength of mind from &e suspense of the morning , or possibly because Mr . Squeers himself acqiored greater sternness and ffinejfliDity from certain "warm potations in which ie was wont to indnlsre after his early dinner . Be
tbis as it may , the boys were recalled from house-TOiaow , garden , stable , and cow-yard , and the *™ ° ol ¦ were assembled in full conclave , when Mr .

Expressive Simile . —The following description of a small room -will appear Tery poetic to an English reader . " I am now , " says a Turkish spy ( writing to his employers , ) " in an apartment so little , that the least suspicion cannot enter it . " PuGX-AciTir . — In noticing a number of children , we may easily distinguish between those who are only occasionally passionate , and those who have an almost constant tendency to be quarrelsome . The specimens of the first kind will colour up , cry , and call out when under an angry fit , and in this manner exhaust themselves and the feeling at the
same time ; the second example may also express in a similar manner , but it will not do so passively , for , when onee offended , it will have recourse to Wows , or scratching , or biting . Such irascible children shew theiT pugnacity on all occasions . They Tefuse to do any thing they are required to do , and always appear to delight in * contradiction ; yet it would be the most egregious folly to strike or threaten them , for in such cases the little creatures are sure to lift thtir hand , and with extraordinary daring strike again . It is a difficult task to deal properly with juch temper ? , or to legislate for the little tyrant of the nursery ; because " he is in ? ensible to kindness
or persuasion , and will exercise an overbearing sway , and seize with lawless selfishness upon the toys and playthings of his brothers or sisters , not so ranch from a dexire of possession as from mere lere of contention ; and should force be employed in return , ' * then comes the tug of war , " —pulling , peshitg , crying , and kicking te get possession , —one child claiming the toys by right of property , and the other by the right of the strongest , and from his having accidentally possessed himself of them . The best plan in such a case is to ascertain to vrbnm the property Teally belongs , and to make restitution aceerdinjarly , impressing upon the aggressor the evil oi injustice , and upon the aggrieved party the more noble conduct of forbearance and kindness in similar circumstances . It vrould be well to avoid exciting
the . combative principle at sny time ; but how are vie to avoid it ? For , it oiten occurs that children who are naturally pugnacious will evince their jnverate tendency that way by refusing to hare what they at first cried for ; and , when such children are out " of health , they act so much from mere opposition that they will almost make the mostpatien irritable . If food be placed before such a child , he pushes it from him or throws it down : take it away , and he cries for it : give it to him again and he renews the first proceedings . In such cases , after two or three trials , the child should be removed from the table into another room , and told that as soon as there is a sign of better conduct , he may return .- —Mental Culture , or ihe means of developing the human factrftieSj by J . L . Levison .
Transmigration OF Souls . —Among the oldest conceptions philosophically carried out by the Hindoos , the doctr ine of the transmigration of souls and the means of terminating ite wanderings is , undoubtedly , to be included . It is not unlifcdy that the doctrine originally grew out of the conception of the perpetual flux of the powers of nature , and tbeir changes from one into another ; and , * herefore , it may bare been at first conceived in a purely material point of "view . Subsequently , ho-wever , it was understood in a-more spiritual sense . The migration of souls was regarded by the Hindoos as a state of un-Test and unhappiness : since the soul was held by it
constantly . subject to the power of death , and exposed to the toil of unceasing transmutations . With this there naturally connected it-elf a moral interpretation of life . This people seem to have been sensitively impressed with the sinfulness of man , of the guilt with which he is burdened ; and , on this ac , conDt , singularly possessed hy a deep and solemn dread of the penalty which awaits him at the eternal retribution . To this source must be referred the prayers so constantly recurring in all the ceremonies of India worship for pardon and preservation from sin . Hence , too , the opinion of the meritoriousness of expiations , and the extreme rigour of their penance ? . How , then , eould they be any charm in a Me which was looked upon as an expiation for infinite transgressions of an extremely minute ceremonial
law . ? On this account , we find , from the oldest times and in the eldest Hindoo works , a continual longing to be emancipated from this migration of tke soul , and the desire of happiness conceived as perfect rest . The only means of this emancipation are , as already stated , sacrifice and other ceremonial observances , particularly penance and the horse-sacrifice . In ike more recent philosopbemes of the Hindoos we find , indeed , another mean , -viz ., knowledge , free from all that is sensiblf , and exalted to the contemplation of the Infinite . That thi 3 mean was also acknowledged by the very earliest philosophers of the'HindooB is evinced by the constant injunction n the "Upanisehads of internal meditation , and of a profound and constant reflection on the being and nature of God . —Hitter's History of Ancient Philotophy .
R oyjo . Pastime . —Two poor mortals , elevated with the distinction of a golden bauble on their heads , called a crown , take offence at each other , witKout any reason , ot with the -very bad one of wishing for an opportunity of aggrandizing themselves by making reciprocal depredations . The creatures of the court , and the leading men of the nation , who are usually under the influence of the court , resolve ( for it is their interest ) to support their royal master , and are never at a loss to invent some colourable pretence foT engaging the nation in the horrors of w ? r . Taxes of the most burdensome
kind are levied ; soldiers are collected ; reviews and encampments succeed ; and at last fifteen or twenty thousand men meet on a plain , and coolly shed each other ' s blood , without the smallest personal animosity or the shadow of a provocation . The tings , in the mean time , and the grandees , who have employed those poor innocent-victims to shoot bullets at each other ' s headB , remain quietly at home , and amuse themselves in the intervals of balls , hunting-schemes , and pleasures of every species , with reading at the nre-ade , and over a cup of chocolate , the dispatches
of the army , and the news in the extraordinary Gazette . It may be we have left a thousand of the enemy dead on the field of battle , and only nine hundred of our countrymen . Charming news 1—k was a glorious victory ! But before you give a loose to " your raptures , pause awhile ; and consider , that to every one of these 1900 slain , life was no less sweet-than it is to you ; that to the far greater part of them there probably were wives , fathers , mother ? , sons , daughters , sisters , brothers , and friends , all of whom are at this moment bewailing that eveDt which occasions your foolish and brutal triumph .
BoirrjLTJS AWD NtJMA , THE FIBST KINGS OS" Rome . —Romulus , the founder of Rome , was a warrior 5 and he so diffused his spirit among his people , that " every Roman was a Roldier . " This people was described by Plutarch as having become "hard as iron by war . " Numa Pompilius succeeded Romulus , He was averse to war , and a lover of peace ; "When the people requested him to become their king , he objected on the ground of their love of war aBdAi * lore of peace . But they urged till be finally accepted ; and by his wisdom aqd prudence , and by diffusing his own spirit and principles among the in their
people , he wrought a wonderful chaoge . character * From a nation of warriors they became a nation t > f agriculturalists and peaceable citizens . Noma succeeded in healing the dissensions among his own people , and became the object of admiratien , and ihe ' arbiter ' of differences to the surrounding tribes of barbarians . Poring a long reign , this amiable pricee occasioned the Romans to enjoy the blessings of uninterrupted peace . < When he died they lamented him as if every man had lost his own father j ' -and the concourse of strangers to Rome to celebrate his obsequies was exceedingly great . — Eooke's History of Rome *

Modern Tigeb . — " Why did you quit your last place ? " said a gentleman to his groom , who presented himself for the service of thecab > the other day ; " did Captain R . discharge you ? " " No . " "Was he a bad master ? " On the contrary , a very good one ; gave good wages , plenty of liveries , and as mueh help in the rtable as one could want . " « Then -why leave his service ? " "To say the truth , sir , I found it very disagreeable in winter time at Melton . Captain R . did not belong to the right club , or live in the first tet , and then he was so very dull in the tilbury , I really could not stand it !"
Virtue of k Fee . —One of the most distil guisbed medical practitioners used to say , that he considered a fee so necessary to give weight to an opinion , that when be looked at bis own tongue in the glass , he slipped a guinea from one pocket into the other . In and Oct . — A poor Yankee , on being asked the nature of his distress , replied , " that he had five outs and one in—to wit , out of money , and out oi clothes ; out at heels , and out at the toesj ok ; of credit , and in debt . "
Who ' s afraid of Work?—A person once said to a father whose son was noted for laziness , that he thought his son was very much afraid of work .

" The Worxd Insolvent . —Some time ago , a publisher of periodicals applied for his discharge in the Insolvent Court , and described himself as " Proprietor of The World !! . '" They must ' be bard times , indeed , when a man of such extensive property is reduced to the necessity of taking the benefit of the act !

" ; Presence op Mind . —If \ ou should happen to meet with an accident at table , endeavour to preserve your composure , and do not add to the discomfort you have created by making an unnecessary fuss about it . I remember hearing it told of a very accomplished gentleman , that when carving a tough goose , he had the misfortune to send it entirely out of the dish , and into the lap of a lady next to him ; on which , he very coolly looked her full in the i ' aci * , and said , "Ma ' , 1 will thank you for that goose . " This manner of bearing such a mortifying accident gained him more credit than he lost by his awkward carving .
French Card . — " To the Great Restorator Re-establisher , Before the Mint House . —There is Every Thing To eat , and to be had it ready at any Thime in The day , With neatness and delicacy .

He therefore rose and gave , " Massa General Foss , he have white skin , but very black heart . "
Judas asd sis Sop . —Dr . Styles , in commenting on the perfidy of Judas in betraying ; his divine master , said " the sop that he received was soaked in the lake of brimstone by the arch enemy of souls before he received it , that it might lull his conscience to sleep . " " Well , " observed Hook , " that wad indeed a sop * horrific !" A Timely Repartee . —A soldier of Marshal Snxe ' s army , being discovered in a theft , -na » condemned ! t o be haaged .

" This repartee saved his life .
A Woman ' s . Promise . —Queen Elizabeth seeing a eentleman in her garden , who had not felt the effects of her favour so soon as he expected , looting out of her window , said to him in Italian , " What does a man think of , Sir Edward , when he thinks of nothing ?

" HONOUR . —A "Welshman , bragging of his family , said his father's effigy was set up in Westminster Abbey . Being asked in what part of it , he replied , 'In the same monument with 'Squire Thynne ' s , for be was his coachman . '
Benefit of Counsel . —The use 9 nf cross-examination were rather unmercifully exposed by Judge Parke , upon the trial of some rioters , when a learned gentleman , concerned for one of the prisoners , asked some questions affecting another man , who had no counsel employed .

The woman replied , " Perhaps yonr honor would lend me the sixpence the : while , as I have not got one by me at all . " Charles the Second's Comment on Rochester's Epitaph . —Charles the Second , in a gay moment , asked Lord Rochester to write his epitaph , which he did immediately , as follows : — Here lies the mntton-eating king , Whose word no man relied on ; Who never said a foolish thing , Nor ever did a wise one .

In about an hour's time he awoke , and found himself all in the dark , except a small speck
of light , which he took to be the remains of the once bright fire . After feeling about for a ' short time , he found the bellows , the pipe of which he put into the keyhole of the door , taking it for the fire-grate , and commenced blowing with all his might . Tibby , on hearing a strange noise , hastened down stairs to see what was amiss , and on seeisg her husband behind the door , exclaimed , " Johnny , wotiver ista doin ?" " Wha , " responded Johnny , In a surly tone , "Am blawin t'fiTe up tabe sure , can't ta see ? " " Wha wot a stupid ninny-hammer tha is , its nowt but t ' shadda at t ' mooin thar blawin at ; "gieovrr and cum ta bed wi tha . "

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , Montjay , June 18 . There has been a heavy fallofmin since this day se ' nnight , - with a moTe geninl temperat » re , and it w now very warm and growing weather . From Essex , Kent , and Suffolk , the supply uf Wheat was moderatel y good , but of Barley , Beans ; and Peas , from all these counties , vuiy limited . There was a fair fresh arrival of Oats for this , day ' s market , principally from Ireland , having scarcely anv either English or Scotch up since Friday . Very high p rices being demanded for Wheat at the opening of this day s market , early transactions were materially checked , and it vas notuntn the rates of Friday were submitted to that our millers commenced to purchase , when a fair demand took place , but the advance on the currency of this diiy se ' nnight cannot generally be qu ' oted more than 2 s per qr . Bonded VVheat was 3 sto 4 s per qr . dearer , withmany buyers of this article . Town-made Flour was partially fixed at 60 s pt-rsack , but the trade was . not unanimous in the advance ; good marks ex-ship were held Is tb 2 s per sack higher . Barley , IJeans , and Peas realised full as much , with a moderate sale for all these articles . Malt wa ^ withont any alteration in value . There was a fair sale for . Oats , at about the rates , of this day ee ' nnight ; for although the quantity from Ireland continues pretty extensive , so few come lTom onr own coast arid Scotland , and the consumption being very great , the factors show no inclination to submit to lowerTates . Supplies from Ireland may now fall off , and in consequence , a better trade will be experienced . Linseed and Rapeseed were much the same as last week . [ If the farmers have any idea that they can stop , or even check , the importation of foreign Wheatithey must supply the markets better and more quickly than they aie accustomed to do at this seasonlof the year , particularly as prices from week to week continue to advance , and are now at a : satisfactory and remunerating point to encourage them to part with all they hold , for the stocks being so low in the merchants' arid factors' bands , foreign . must beliberated before harvest at aloic dnty , unless the farmers have it in their power to supply the trade largely , which will be doubled . should not a greater quantity come forward almostipituediately ; In England the stock of free Wheat . at the following placs is supposed tabe about II 1 , 000 qrs . outof the facto r * hands ; viz ,, at VVakelield , 40 , 000 qre . ; Liverpool , 35 , 000 qr » ., ; Leeda , 15 , 000 qrs . ; London only about 7 , 000 matters ; Wisbeachy S ^ O qrs . ; Briatol , Gloucester , Lynn , Hull , and Newcastle , about 9 , 000 quarters , so that the farmers have a great deficiency to make up for consumption ere new can be available , with the moat forward weather from this time uu to harvest , and tb . ua it iafor their own interests that they become prompt and active in thrashing out every rick they have left oa hand , or the holders of foreign Wheat will reap the benefit . ] CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE .

NP ; WGATE AND LKaDESHaLL AURKETS . fMONi . AV ) Exceedingly small quantities of all kinds of slaughtered meat have arrived hither for sale since this day se ' nnight , yet the »« pj > ly , which has been laTge , arid chiefly Mled in thi ? metropolis , has proved quite adequate to the demand . TheiTrsf consignmt-nt of live Lambs , transmitted for the purpose of biding slaughtered and disposed of without appearing in Sinithtieiu , has Wrived from Scotland , the number being 115 , the wholo of whii-h have proved of superior quality , but very low prices were obtained fortbeni , from 4 s 6 i perBlba . being the highest quotation noted . Only about 12 Beasts , and 40 live Sheep have been received by seafrpm Aberdeen for that purpose . The comparative falling off in the number of live stack lately Teceived from Scotland , is chiefly ascribed to the returns having been fot some time past by no means remunerating ; in fact , Hiaiiy petsims wVio are unuaUy iii the habit of sending { heir live stock here , have intimated tK _ at « o great are the expenses necessarily attendant on'the . shipping of cattle , they rimonnting on each bullock to jf 3 10 s , that they have , in seve-< ral ; inats \ nces , lost money by their speculation . Hence , they are not disposed at present to risk their capital . Thismorning , the aupvly of meat was good , whilst the trade was , on the whole , dull .
