Mn ^ r ^ WV ^ WM ^^^ VAV ^^ UMW THE SHEFFIELD CAST IRON KNIVES . Who could have thought that the exposure made by the Trades of Sheffield , relative to the extensive practice of foisting upon the -world cast-metal knives and other east metal hardware as ^ ennine steel , -would have led to such important practical results ! Yet so it is . Tbe authorities iave found oat , as set forth by the Trades , that the practice of making east-metal cutlery with the marks of gennioe entlery , is ezpresslj contrary to an Act of Parliament ; and they have had two mannfacjarers before-them , and convicted them , one in the penalty of ^ 1 , 395 J and another in the penalty of ££ 17 10 s ., betddea the forfeiture of the goods seized . \ Now thiB is rather a . stranze proceeding in these "Tree Trade" times 1 If there be any truth in
"Free Trade * , these convictions are manifestly nnjnst J free trade means free trade ; fnot & tnae hampered with pains and penalties . jThe Act of Parliament under which these convictions" have taken place , was passed for the PROTECTION of tbe trade of Sheffield . A protected trade cannot be a free one ; Therefore these convicsionB are glaringly unjust 1 True , there was fraud . Trod , there was cheatery . True , there was roguery . Bui what of that \ What has theBe things to do with the question 1 Is there moreiiaad . than in the nse of shoddy and Devil ' s Dob ; ^ Aud are not our manufacturers a free " to use those materials , asd sell them as cood
-wool ? Is there moTe . Jrenid in selling cast-metal knives than in daubing calico with paste , and finishing it so as to look like , and sell for , Irish linen" ? And are not our cotton loraB "free" ! to do that ? Monstrous interference with "freedom" of trade , for the Sheffield magistrates to fine a man £ 1 , 39 * for merely cheating a-bit ! And more monstrous still that there should be an Act o ! Parliment to enable them to do so ! By all means let Joe . Hume look to this . If he -permits thiB * et to remain on the statute book one honr after this decision , without strenuous exertions to get it repealed , he is a traitor to Ms principles 11
The cast-metal knives have not only bees Beizid , bat destroyed . The following is the accoant / ornished by our own correspondent of ihe | destrnotion : —Early on Saturday morning the following placard -mis extensively posted upon the walls of the town : — * DisTHocnos op Cutleey . —Seized under the 59 . Geo . IIl , c . 7 , entitled an act to regulate the Cutlery Trade in England . ;• " The Magistrates having requested ] me to eause the spurious cutlery forfeited by their order on Taesday last to be destroyed , I hereby give notice that the same will be publicly broken up in Paradise ' square , on Monday next , the 14 th instant , at twelve o ' clock . i a W . Bboai > hubst , Master Cutler . *• Westfield Terraee , August 12 th , 1843 . "
^ The interest excited on this occasion ] amongst the ** blistered hands" was immense ; and within half an hour of the time of destruction , " ! thousands of tbe workies -were to be seen wending their way to the destined spot with smiling countenances . At twelve o ' clock a body of the police appeared , and after having cleared the steps , a cart drew up containing tiie forfeited foods . A number of men with hammers and anvils were in attendance . Tbe Master Cutler thenascended the platform , and silence being obtained , proceeded as follows i— Gentlemen , I : now appear on a painful occasion to declare in the presence of this multitude , that spurious marked [ articles have been stamped in this town . Such proceedings as these are destined to ruin the trade of the best town
in the world . Sheffield stood pre-eminent for it 3 cutlery ; but if such goods as you will pee destroyed this day in the presence of thousands are suffered to be exported , -we cannot expect to support ourselves at home , or sustain our trade abroad . ¦ England has always been famed for its commercial pursnits z bni if Sheffield persists in the manufacture of 'Sow metaV tbe-world » t large will bo longer give that celebrated town credit for its manufactures . * ' Cheers followed this address of the Master Cutler ; and on the appearance of the baskets containing the spurious articles , tbe cheering was immense . The hammers ¦ wenttcwoik- Ati ir "" ngf > gna-ntityfifcarvingtanyes were broken to pieces ; one man snapping them with his hands as though the blades were glass , whilst a
nnmber of men were employed in the ; cart breaking up pen and pocket blades . | „ The work of demolition being completed Mr . Edwxn Gill and a few Chartist friends ascended the steps , ¦ when Mr . Joseph Cartledge , was unanimously called to the « hair . The chairman opened xhe business of the meeting by some very appropriate remarks , and waB followed by Mr . George GiUamore and Mr . J . Sowell , the latter moving aTOteof thanks to the Master Cutler and the Cutlers ? Company for tbe jnstice done that day to the artiains of Shefnald . MhlMwin Gill followed , and laid tbi depression of the trade of Sheffield to its manufacturers , ( the advocates of free-tradej who by their swindling propensities bad destroyed the markets abroad , 3 > y and bad
jjnJling the foreigners j as they seen their goodB were of no "ralue at home . He then alluded to the reduction of Mr , Cobden ' s workmeue wages ^ t Clithero ; to the strike at Ashton j and the oopper makers in Wales . He exhorted the meeting io baud Ihemselvas together as one mas , for the destruction of allxoonopolieSjihenrs ^ of which "was class legislation . In conclusion , he moved the following resolution : — Thai it is the opinion of this meeting that the present depression ^ of trade can sever be alleviated nntil labour is folly and fairly represented in the Commons Housfrof Parliament . This was seconded by Mi . Bichsrd Branch , and carried unanimoasly . Thanks being voted to the chairman , the meeting dispersed . It is estimated that there were eight thousand persons present .

NOTTiNGHAltt . —On TBesday evenine , the Ilev . W . Iiinwood , of Mansfield , delivered a lecture in the ExcKange Hall , on "the duty . of . Christian Ministers . " ] Mr .. poraan was called to the chair , and introduced the lecturer , who was received with loud applause . He said that he came afc the request of the Chartists of Nottingham ; and though he belonged to ihe pomplete Suffrage body , be shoold always be ready to uaite and co-operate with all who sincerely songbt " to relieve the condition of the oppressed , and obtain justice for all men ; for he ad located principle aind not party —( cheers ) . He then showed ; that the reason of Christian teachers loosing theirinfluence was by their ceasing to deserve it . He wished them to regain itbut only by their
, following bnt the true principles of their relijrios ; which taught them to stem the torrent of oppression ; to advocate the rights of ^ thoi poor ; to feed tbeiiungry andolothe . the naked , by assisting to give them the reward of their honest industry ; and not to pander to wealth , and those who possessed it—and preach to pews instead ot to the people—( cheers ) . They might think this strong language , but he was used to ^ alliiyi things by their proper nameB . Rascality he called rascality ; cant he called cant * and hypocrisy he called hypocrisy : but he would not call it religion . He then proved , in an argumentative manner , that religion and polities were inseparablyconnected ; and concluded bv & nnwarfnV
and eloquent appeal to the middle classes , and better better paid operatives ; showing that they were indebted to the working classes not only for the production , but ; for the protection , of their wealtb . He hoped that the working classes would themselves furniBh a stronger argument in their own favour than any he could adduce , by throwing offvice . and making themselves morally and intellectually free ; The lecture throughout was listened to with the I greatest attention , and elicited tbe warmest applause . A vote of thanks was given to Mr . Linwood for his talented lecture ; to the Mayor for the use of the Hall ; and to the Chairman for his impartial conduct .
A Public Meeting was held , according to notice , in the Democratio Chapel , on Wednesday night , when an animated discussion took place on the question of Organization ; after which Mr .

The objeet of this interruption was , without doubt , to break up the meeting before any resolution was passed , but the men stood their ground boldly , aud passed a resolution in their very teeth , pledging themselves to join tbe Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland . This was gall an ^ il wormwood . The
meeting was afterwards very ably addressed by Mr .

1 THE ASHTON TURN-OUT . From the Manchester Guardian of Wednesday we give the following particulars of the Ashton turn-out . Of course the reader will bear in mind the source from which the information is derived , and know how to interpret the it as so very perceptible in it : — The turn-out in thin town and neighbourhood still continues , contrary to the expectation of many persons . I It was generally believed that Monday morning would have seen most of the operatives at their usual employment ; but , in consequence of the determined spirit manifested by the turn-out committee , this was prevented . The following is a summary of the proceedings since our last : —On Saturday , various shop-meetings were held for the purpose of talking over the coarse that should be adopted to compel
the masters to pay the wages which were due to those I of the turn-outs Who bad left any work in the warehouse , previously ; to turning out . It was arranged that the hands of the various mills should go in a body to their masters and endeavour to obtain payment . For this purpose , several of the mills were visited , and in one or two instances the hands succeeded in obtaining their wages . Some little disturbance was created on Saturday afternoon by the workpeople in the employ of Mr , Ray nor , m consequence of that gentleman telling them , that he would not pay their wages until , they returned to their ! employment . On receiving this answer , the hands , to the number of about 200 , surrounded the gates of the mill , and expressed their determination to
follow him home ; he consequently sent for the police , who on arriving at the mill , drove the people backhand prevented them following him through the streets ; they afterwards quietly dispersed . On Saturday evening , about seven o ' clock , the turn-outs assembled at the usual place of meeting , wheni M General Lee" was called unon to preside . He introduced Pilling to the meeting , who said , that- he wished them to pay attention while he read over the names of those masters who had acted like men by paying the wag ^ s of those who were in their employ . He said that Borne of the masters were endeavouring to drive them into work by keeping their Wages from them—( cries of " They shan ' t" ) , — but he trusted they would be disappointed . He begged to call their attention to a statement which
had been put forth to the world by the London Time * . That paper , in giving a report of the tarnout Had said , that the magistrates were preparing for the worst , and it waa-expected that 300 or 300 special constables were about to be sworn in ; that two troops of soldiers were coming into the town , &c . He hoped they would pay no attention to such lvingjreports , but aot peaceably together . He conoluded by correcting a statement whioh he bad madeira some former speech . Wolfeaden next spoke , and eulogised the press for' the assistance it had rendered them , . and be closed the business by saying that he should preach a sermon on that ground on Sunday evening at six o ' clock , and he trusted they would bring their hymn books , and that there would be a good meeting . '
OniSunday morning , the trains from Manchester brought an influx of visitors into the town , consisting principally of factory operatives , who , during the day , nvght be seen strolling through the streets , anxiously waiting for the evening ' s meeting . Ia the evening , about six o ' clock , the place of meeting was crowded with parsons from various parts of the county , in addition to the turn-outs . At the time appointed for the meeting to commence , Lee got into a cart , and gave out four verses of the hymn commencing " O for a thousand tongues to sing , " which was sung . He afterwards offered up aj prayer , in which he implored the Almighty to bless their undertakings , and destroy all tyrants ,
< fcc . { He then asked for a Bible ; on one being banded to him , ho directed their attention to the third obapter of Malaohi , and tbe fifth verse— And I will come near to you to judgment ; and I will be a I Bwift witness * * against those that oppress the hireling in his wages . " He dwelt at length on the passage , and called upon his hearers to consider well what had been said to them . On closing the book , ho began to enumerate those millowuers who , he said , oppressed the hireling in his wages , and concluded : by repeating some scraps of pbetry deuounoing th ^ e factory system . —Wolfenden moved the adjournment of the meeting to MonBay morning , at five o ' clock ; after which they separated .
On Monday morning , between four and five , the little piecers met aud formed in procession , near to the usual place of meeting ; about twelve or fourteen were provided with penny whistles and a few with fifes ; these headed the procession , and went playing through the Btreets ; they returned in about half Ian hour to the new square , where the turn-outs were assembled . A considerable number of police were in attendance to watch the proceedings . The speakers not thinking it prudent to address them in thatj place , they returned to Thacker'a ground , where Pilling , Lee , and , Wolfenden entered the oarti Lee commenced the proceedings by expressing his unbounded satisfaction at the manner in which they ! had acted that morning . He endeavoured to cheer them on to their purpose , and extolled the manner in which tbe ; had conducted their mo ? e-
ments that morning . Wolfenden addressed the meeting on the principle of unity ; after whioh , Pilling was called upon , who , on preseating himself , was ; cbeered . He said tbsy had acted vmoly that ¦ oraiBg by keeping away froM theaiilJa : h « saida great many masters had started their engines that morning , 'but he was happy to say they had been already cheated for once . He would adviae them , as it was Denton wakeB , to go there , and enjoy themfieires during the day ; He said Stockport and other places had met , and they were determined not f to beguiled any longer ; for , as soon as they had ] obtained what they asked for in Ashton , the other towns would come out also . If they would only be united , he knevsr they would be victorious . The : meeting was then adjourned till Tuesday morning , at five o ' clock .

In consequence of a rumour that several of Mr . Abel Buckley ' s hands had gone ia to work during the day , the Committee , Bitting on behalf of the turnouts , sent the bellman round to call another meeting at Bix o ' clock in | the evening . At this meeting Mullig was appointed Chairman ; and , ia opening the meeting , said that a deputation had waited upon Mr . Rayner during the day , to ask him if he would pay the wages to his hands , when he replied , that if they weuld beledjby such a man as Pilling , they must go to him for their wages . The deputation replied ,, that if the men were satisfied , neither FffliDgnor ' any one else could bring them from their work . Pilling , in addressing the meetiag , said that several of the masters had agreed that day to give the list price . He ^ exhorted them to uni ty of action . Lee and Wolfenden afterwards spoke in the samo strain , and said , [ that the report about Buckley ' s , hands was untrue ; after whioh the meetingseparated . I
On Tuesday morning the meeting , which consisted of 1 , 500 persons , assembled about fifteen minutes past four , when a ] cotton spinner , named Samael Wolstencroft , ' was [ called te the chair , and he iatrodueed Lee to the meeting as the first speaker . Lee , on coming forward , was received with cheers . He said , he bad to inform them , that several of the masters had sent in to the committee to say , that they were quite willing to give the list price ; and the total number of masters who had agreed to it was twenty . He wished to impress upon them , that they did not want an advance , but an equilization . of wages ; for if some masters were allowed to pay something like ten per cent , under others , they would never do any good . He then read the names
of several parties to the meeting , who , it was said , hadgone in to work ' . Wolfenden said , that the Stockport bands had m ^ t upon that question , and were looking up to them for something decisive . He hoped they would ] be true one towards another , until they bad settled their grievances . Pilling next spoke , and said , that the hands in the employ of Mr . Abel Buckley and Messrs . Mellor had agreed , although paid the best in the town , that they would not go to work until all the others went . He then read some calculations , which he said that he had made , relative to the factory system . He referred
them to the mill of Messrs . Whitakers , of Hirst , and said , that the amount of cloth produced at that establishment daily , would , if stitched together , reach twenty-six '" miles in length . He begged of them to support a j bill for shortening the hours of labour , saying tbat it Was working such long hours in the factories that bad ruined this country . He said , that if they were determined to stand by each other , they bad better hold up their hands . —( A great many hands were held up amidst cheers ) . He was glad to see that feeling amongst them ; it told him that they would be victorious . The meeting was then adjourned tilljfive in the evening .

{ Wednesday , Aug . 16 . Nothing of importance has transpired relative to the Ashton turn-outs since I last wrote . The same determination is evinced by the operatives that has characterised thejn ) from 'he commencement of the strike . I bad a conversation last night with two very intelligent females from Dukenfield , and they told me that thirty-six mills are entirely at a stand . Neither masters nor operatives seem disposed to give way ; so that it is impossible to foretell what will be tbe result . At present all is peaceable . The strike has not yet extende ' d to Staley-bridge , but it is likely to do so ; as great dissatisfaction exists amongst the factory operatives in that town . I Wednesday , Aug . 16 .
From our Manchester correpondent , or rather from the kind friend who officiates for Mr . Dixon during bis illness , we have received the following : — Tuesday , Aug . 15-The turn-out at Ashton-under-Lyne still continues . The operatives keep assembling in great numbers , and all evince the utmost determination to remain out till their demands are complied with- A large meeting was held yesterday morning ( Monday ) at which upwards of 20 , 000 persons were present . Not the slightest breach of the peace has yet occurred . There are scores of ] police men in disguise perambulating the town and neighbourhood . ,

The Army . —Curiocs Circumstance—On Monday week , the last division of the 64 th depot marched from the barracks of thLi town ( Tralee ) en route ( or Manchester . The ' excellent temperance band of the Castle-street rooms marched at tbeir head , playing them out of town as far as Ballyseedy , a distance of about three miles [ and a half . As the band passed along the column on their return home , the soldiers took off their caps and heartily cheered the musical civilians . This looka like " something in the wind " —don't it !
