But steadily and surely it has roads tit enmities and worked its way into their coati deuce, in proof of which there are sow more thee live hun dred societies of working moo in England, Wake, sad Ire land registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts, and probably sixty sr seveoty to add to the above cumber for those in Scotland. These societies for the most part cony on the businesses of grocery and provision dealers, which artists they supply to their members and divide the profits each wailer of a year amongst them in proportion to their purchases of goods from the society. The mOtal needful to carry on the business is raised by the members, mostly in shares of the value of one pound each : the number of shares which any one member may take varying in different societies from one, two, or five, to one hundred, and in no society is a member allowed to ex ceed 2001, in invested shares. These shares may be paid at one or by instalments of 3d. or more per week, to suit the convenience or circumstances of the subscribers. Thu it will be seen that these societies become the wirings banks for such of the working dames as join them. Lancashire sad Yorkshire have more of these societies than any other two enmities in the United Kingdom, there being upwards of 130 societies in the former sod 90 in the latter county. Also some of the largest societies are to be found in these two counties. _ _ J. Mad Pratt, Esq., the Registrar of Friendly Societies, has published, by order of parliament, the regime of 332 societies for the year coding December, 1862. From theme returns, which include rather over half of the societies now is operation, we gather that the societies enumerated had 90,458 members, a subscribed sod accumulated capital of 425,3151., does business, oriretisived for goods sold during the year, 2,331,650 f., and had maimed a profit on the above transactions of 165,770/. These profits, as a general rule, are disposed of sa follows : —To domination of plant or filed stock, at the rate of ten per coat per annum. Interest on puri•up shares at the rate of five per cont per annum, if left in the society from the beginning to the end of the quarter ; and is a few Noeletiss 2{ per cent quarterly from net profits to the support of newsrooms sod library in connection with the society ' and the balance or remainingremaining profits divided, as before stated, amongst member, in proportion to their trade with the society. In the year 1857, G. J. Holyoake wrote a book called " Self Help by the People and History of Co-operatioa in Rochdale." It was bought read by • few working men in nearly every town in the United Kingdom. Not fewer thee lye or sax hundred copies were sold in Rochdale, for the members of the Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society were both instructed and amused by reading the history of their society; and it produced fruit of a most valuable character, fora meat number of newspapers, reagarinea reviewed the hiatory, and cam co-operative sometime to the working classes. Of the 3.12 societies in the registrar's return, 261 have been established since the year 1857, end I have heard several persona ascribe the origin of their now prosperous society to having read the history. The Rochdale Equitable Pioneers Society was established in the year 1844. discs its commencement it has benefited its members in • pecuniary sense—that ia, in the form of profile or dividends, 93,0001. It devotes 2i per cent of its profits to educational purposes, by which it supporta three news-rooms, and has a library of upward. of 6,000 volumes, all of which are free to members and their families, I need sot say that such institutiolis give the working 'lames opportunities of self•improremest. At present the before-named society has 3,750 members, sod a capital sub. scribed and accumulated of 44,8761. Ifs. 10 I am, &a, WILLIAM COOPER. Oldham-road, Rochdale, Dee ,1843.

They required fewer hours of toil, more time for education and recreation, an extension of the franchise, and a better understanding of the important science of po litical economy. He had bad the pleasured conferneg with seven! intel tiger! t working men on the condition of theirclase, and the bet means of improving it, and he had to propose for the considenition of the meeting the formation of a WINTER SEASON at HOMBURG. —BATHS league which should take once izance of all subject' °Demented Homburg offers to the visitor, during to. winter season, . with the welfare of the working classes, social and political. all the conveniences and attr..etions of larger towns.

PRANYFORT•ON•THE•YALIE. Du% 14. In to-day's sitting of the Diet 17 million thalers were voted for the expenses of Federal execution in Holstein, and instructions were given to the civil commissioners, who are to assume the provisional government in that duchy in the name of the Federal Diet. The King of Hanover has appointed Privy Coun cillor Nielasen as his civil commissioner. BERLIN, Dna 14. Both the liberal fractious of the Chamber of Deputies have resolved to vote an address to the King, stating their motives for refusing the bill for the loan of 12 million thalers asked by the govern ment. The address will also clearly point out the pro gramme of policy the liberals think should be followed by Prussia in the Schleswig-Holstein question. AUSTRIA AND THE OONORESS. VIENNA, Dm M. The Oa-Deutsche Pod of to-day says: "The Austrian government forwarded a note to Paris a few days Ego, definitively declining the invitation to a Congress. " The government expresses its regret at having to refuse, since a congress at which England is not represented will necessarily lead to no result. It also considers the programme to be undefined and insufficient. The questions stated by M. Dronyn de Lhuys to be discussed have, moreover, already found a solution, or cannot be solved at the Con gress." The Prase of this evening says : "At the last ministerial council at which the Emperor presided, Count Rechberg is said to have pointed out the want of a real representative of the ministry at the Reicharath, since Archduke Rainer could not appear as responsible minister before that body. "The necessity of bringing about a final solution of the Hungarian question was likewise dwelt upon. ,, The same journal states that negotiations have been entered into with Prince Charles Auersperg to replace Archduke Rainer as President of the Cabinet. The Oesterreichische Zeitung of to-day denies the statement of the Prase, that Herr von Schmerliug ham tendered his resignation. The Wanderer states that the s'n of Count An dreas Zamoyaki has beam sentenced to death by a court-martial at Warsaw. M. DROUYN DE LHUYS UPON THE CONGRESS. FRANKFORT, Dec. 14. The Europe of to-day says :—" M. Drouyn de Lhuys has addressed a circular to the French diplomatic agents abroad relative to the Congress. The circular does not trace out the programme to be adopted, as has been asked by some govern ments, for such programme cannot be the work of one government, or even of two or three. The refusal of England has frustrated the combination of an European Congress, but France is ready to come to an understanding with the governments who shall think it useful to debate pacifically among themselves those questions which, if left to chance circumstances, might conduct to the most fatal complications. "The Government of the Emperor would consider it failed in its duty if it ►bstained from profiting by the dispositions so cordially manifested. The programme of the questions which a Congress thus brought together should discuss is still consi derable enough to encourage the Cabinets in the path marked out." The Europe adds :—" The events which are every day occurring justify this new appeal of the Cabinet of the Tuileries, which would not think it desirable to accept a discussion upon the general affairsof Europe by correspondence or by telegraph, The Powers would never come to any understand ing, much less arrive at any solutioe." The Europe adds that several governments have accorded a favourable reception to the proposition of France. FRANCE. PARIS, D. 14. The Emperor presided at a council of ministers to-day at the Tuileries. Another council will be held to-morrow. The Paris papers of this evening publish advises from Egypt, announcing the victory of the Emperor Theodore of Abyssinia over the population of Gojaru. The Emperor is reported to have ordered the measure of 15,000 prisoners, men, women, and children. He is also stated to have had the English consul at Mamma arreeted, and to have set the French consul at liberty. The same advices state that the Bedouins of Yemen have revolted, and invested the town of Mocha, taking possession of all the stores and coffee crops. The supplementary election took place in Paris to-day. The attendance of voters was large. In to-day's sitting of the Corps Legislatif the government bill for the loan of 300 millions was laid on the table. M. de Morny, the President of the Corps Lkislatif, asked that the bill should be passed upon the first reading. THE PARIS ELECTION. PARIS, Die. 14, Evitintr. It is asserted that the result of the scrutiny, subject to rectification, gives M. Pelletan, the oppo sition candidate, a majority of 5,786 over the government candidate, M. Picard. The respective numbers are stated as—for Pelisten, 15,289 ; for Picard, 9,603 votes. ACCIDENT TO THE VICEROY OF EGYPT. ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 13, Evianto.

Louis Blanc has written a second letter to the Paris journal Le Temps on the subject of the Congress proposition . We subjoin a translation of ' the principal passages : Are the English always wrong when they say, " See bow fickle the Preach are r lam really inclined to doubt it. What! Only yesterday nothing was spoke's of, noting wee thought of, but flying to the aid of Poland. The same of Poland was upon every tongue—its blinding and mutilated term WOMB before every eye, the hours of its coavalsive agony were painfully counted ; to hares the end ens az &ugly desired, and for that no obstacle appeared tee pest, no distance too wide, so earrifiee too heavy ; every heart wept, every band clutched the sword. Aad new, lo and behold, although Poled lives and straggles, she is be many persons in France dead, wrapped in her shroud, sad buried. It is scarcely considered aecassary to think of bar, frees time to time, for decency Rake, and woo those who still in voke in her favour right, justice, and humanity, will be accused of inoessantly harping upon one string ! Jar now another subject is the fashion. Aid with regard to Russia, too, what a transformation What sudden tenderises, towards her! How quickly the ironical tone of Prince Gortchakoirs despatches and the odious character of Mouraviers exploits are forgotten. There can be no doubt about it ; the cause of the almost inconceivable change is the re-awakening of that military pride which all opposition, or semblance of opposition, of the English, irritates in Franca. Thus, because England one five day took the great liberty of holding a different opinion from that of the cabinet of the Tuileries upon the probable ocanneenoes of the Congress ; because she has had the ion lessee to be of this opinion, farewell all sympathy for Poland, farewell the indignation aroused by an unheard-of butchery. Journalista of the banks of the Seine, hasten oil, empty your quivers. England is the target to be shot at. In sober troth, every head must be turned no the other side of the Channel when the serious and sensible Journal des Dibate mingles its paths with the chunours of the Opinion Nationale, and of all those with whomhistory begin at Crusy and ends at Waterloo. Bat what do these gentlemen claim? Is an invitation by any chains au order the moment it has left the Tuileries! Has not a government to which another government makes a proposition the right to request explanations, to examine, to weigh, and to decide for itself according to its light • • • Before maintaining that the refusal of England to take pans t in a congress is a mark of vile jealousy, a merely no tate:al act, an insult to France, kn., one thing should be proved ; it is that the assertion that " the peace of the world would result from a coogrees" is as incontestable an axiom as that "a right line is the shortest between any two points." Until that is proved England will be justified in asking by what principle of equity and liberty 'the is called upon in as essentially controversial question to hold no other opinion than that of the Imperial government. And let not the form of the refusal be urged. The de spatches of Earl Russell are firm in style, but in no way uncivil, discourteous, or abrupt. Every point is disarmed with a care and a determination which evince an exceed- Wily sincere and attentive preliminary examination. At the most it might be said that an absence is discernible of those wire-drawn and absurdly brayed phrues in which diplomatic hypocrisy is accustomed to array itself. But, on the one hand, the employment of this style without arrogance and appropriate without insipidity, is charge eristic of the manner of Earl Russell, who has neve r written otherwise ; and on the other hand, U a question of mere foam were involved, would not the English govern ment be justified in meeting complaint by complaint M. Louis Blanc concludes his letter in the following terms : I do not certainly pretend to constitute myself the thick and thin defender of England. A Frenchman, and • thorough Frenchman, I am less disposed than any one to shut my eyes to the faults of • nation whose •eGion has been on more than one occasion injurious to my country. But this nation has solid and strong qualities that it would be puerile to ignore, that it is unjust to deny, and that it is dangerous to disregard. There is about it, too, what is great, very great ; it represents throughout the world the principle of liberty. _ _ _ It is for these reasons I consider that those in From* who strive to stir up against England in the present lint. of Europe the flames of national rivalry and military m eistromit ought to be ranked among the enemies of liberty, or among its blind admirers. Id the English be reproached with carrying too far the worship of their interests, with looking more to facts than to priociples, with too often seeing only the narrow side of things, with thinking too much of themselves as a nation. Be it so. But we must take core. This is only a spears of egotism. The passion of predo miastiog in war is not less egotistical than the passion of predominating in commerce, and it is more dissstrous. This is what Frenchmen who prefer the honour sod the proud satisfaction of serving France to the profit of flattering her are bound to proclaim aloud to her. Yes, to appeal to vanity and national rancour in order to excite against a free nation a nation whose priocipal business is to become free, is, whether knowingly or otherwise, to compromise the muse of liberty. AMERICAN MAIL STEAMZRB Due THIS WEIL There are three mails due at Liverpool this week from the United States, viz. :—City of Baltimore, from New York on the sth, may be expected at Queenstown late tonight or early to-morrow (Wednesday) morning ; the A from Portland on the sth, may be looked for at Loadoe- Jerr is the cosine of to-morrow. The Cunard steamer Arabia, from Boston on the 9th and Halifax early is the morning of the 11th, may be expected to reach Queenstown in the course of Saturday next. Should the City of Balti more call o ff Cape Race we shall have, should she receive despatches, a week's later news from the United States. BURNING OP Two MORE AMERICAN SHIES BY THE Aumula.—lntelligence was received in Liverpool yes terday, by the India and China mail, to the effect that the notorious Coafederate cruiser Alabama, which we reported I a few days ago as baring left the neighbourhood of the Cape of Good Hope for the eastward, had been making hereeU known amoogat the American shipping bound from the East Indies, ht., and had up to the latest sow:ante captured and destroyed two trot clam American merchant men. From the few particulars brought by this mail we learn that the barque Amanda, under the command of Captain Luribee, which left Ma nilla for Cork for orders on the 18th of September last, with a valuable cargo of cigars, hemp, indigo, coffee, and pepper, was fallen in with off Java Head by the Ala bama, captured, and afterwards destroyed. The Armada was a fine clipper barque of 595 toes, built at Maine, in 1861, and owned by Messrs. J. T. Stevens, of that city. The other vereel burnt by the Alabama was the well.koows East India and Chios trader Winged Rase, commanded by:Capt. Cummings. This vessel left Manila on the rith of Septem ber for hew York, and ale. managed to fall in with the Alabama off Java Head, and after undergoing the prelimi nary course of showing paper., fie., wee declared a lawful' prize to the Confederate government and destroyed. The cargo of th e Winged Racer was very valuable, betag priscipally Waste, cigars, and coffee. The Winged Racer was built in Boston in 1852, was 1,767 tone burthes, sad was owned is New York by Messrs. it. J. Taylor and Co. The hied intsWgeses received from the Mauritius states that the United States war steamer Vanderbilt, Captain Baldwin, had left St. Louis, bound to the r...t Indies, ho., in search of the Alabama, Captain Baldwin having bee. ap prised of the oroiziog ground of the fungus Confederate cruiser. Maws. Lee and Nightingale, of Liverpool, have published a fall history of the Alabama, from the time of her leavinig Liverpool math her snivel at Simon's Bay. THE URRAT EAKTERN.—PRGPOSED LOTTERY DIM -7510071011.—The Liverpool creditors met 'Jain yesterday to consider the two schemes of the formation a new company in which the creditors shall stand u paid up shareholders, sad the dispeml of the ship by lottery.

Yesterday the interesting ceremony of presenting the prizes to the cadets of the Thames itatibil Officers . Trainingship Woroester, trek place on the main deck of that vessel, which is row moored eff Erith, is the presence of Lord C. Pepe, M.P., Secretary to the Admiralty ; Sir JUDO Duke, M.P. ; Kr. H. Green, chairman of the iesti• flake ; Captain Lean, R.N. ; Admiral Hall ; Kr. W. Phil. lime; Hr. Sullivan', hon. secretary ; and a company of some two or three hundred ladies and gentlemen, who had bees invited to witness the ceremony. This being the first I dietribetios of prises to the cadets of the institution unusual interest was felt. The ship itself, an old :' , O-gun frigate, which has hies plead at the disposal of the committee by Lord C. Paget, was dressed for the occasion, and as the boats conveying the visitors put off from Erith pier the yard, of the Worcester ware manned by the boys of the schooL The institution owes its extras's' mainly to the exertions of Lord C. Paget mid the late Mr. Richard Green, who have bosh taken a very lively interest ia its welfare. It was Lord Clarence who suggested He formation to Mr. Green, his lordship having been struck with the results of a visit he made to the trsitung-ship Conway, at Liverpool ; and Mr. Geese, with that benevolence and rare energy which distil:. guitheetaint, immediately enwebt the ideeosed tbe result of their exertions has been the formation of • really magnifi cent institution, which has turned out a complete success. The Worcester has been entrusted to the committee by the government as • training school, and cadetthips have been placed in their hands by Lord C. Paget and Mr. H. Green, while the Board of Trade allow two yeses pulsed on board to count as one year's sea-service. The object of the institution being to provide a good supply of offiCers for the mercantile marine, an thews! payment is required from the parrots of the boys who are entered on board the same', which, while not exceeding the average amount de manded by the conductors of a good mercantile school, gives to the boys all the advantages of • fret-rate professional education, so far as the service for which they are destined is concerned. The object really in view is to raise the status and insure the competency of the officers employed in the mercantile marine, an object important ia 'national aa well ea a profeadonal point of view, and which i already being carried out to such an exteet that no scruple is now enter tained at mitering the mercantile marine by the sone of officers of the navy, who es • clam have hitherto been pre judiced against the mercantile marine service. Sir JAM'S Dori, M.P., occupied the chair, and opened the proceedings. Mr. EttILLIVANT. the boo. secretary, read the report of Mr. Muggeridge, the mathematical examiner, which gave a most favourable account of the program of the cadets. Lord C. Pan= then awarded the prizes, making • short but appropriate address to each recipient. Captain Timer expressed the gratification which the con ductors of the school felt at the honour which had bees dorm theta by the noble Lord. As officers of the Royal Naval Reserve they were well aware of the difficulties which had interposed themselves is carrying out the move ment to a successful result, and they were equally aware that it was mainly to the exertions of Lord C. Paget that they owed their present position. Many old and stubborn prejudices had to be overcome and many conflicting *pintoes sad statements to be reconciled, before the mess of the merchant service could be welded into a body that would form an efficient volunteer force of officers and seamen, and that would supply the navy in time of war without to the odious method of preying, which it was to behaved hd now passed away for ever. (Hear, bear.) He was glad to beer she asatimeate of his lordahip with referees" to the oaken of the Nand Reserve, and that they would not be placed in aay position which it would be infra dig. forts officer of the navy of sirufiar rank to occupy. (Hear, hear, There was one thing he might venture to my if it was not presuming too ;much. The Naval Reserve wanted many things to make it complete, but they wanted nothing more than a head, and he thought it would gladden the hearts ad all the officers and men of the Royal Naval ResileVe if his Royal Highness Prince Alfred permitted them to enrol his august name at their head. (Cheers.) He trusted that the opiate duke at the head of the Admiralty, who, with the noble lord who had just eat down, had dorm se much for the Naval Reserve, would live to see it exceed , • magnitude and power their fondest anticipations, and tuat the country would ever have a body of sailors to fall hack upon who. whenever it was placed in emergency, would come forward with the motto of Reedy, aye, ready." (Cheers.) Admiral Hsu. afterwards addressed the meeting in a brief speech, in which he 'footnoted the position of young midshipmen sent to sea now, wall educated, and with every point of vantage, with the condition sod education of the midshipmen who used to be sent to the service at the time he entered the navy. If, thee, those lads achieved for themselves distinguished position with the little aid they could obtain on board, how much more ought to be ex pected of lads who possessed all the advantages of a first class education, and who had nothing really but the routine work and disciplinary duties of • ship to learn. (Hear.) Mr. Haney Gunn (the chairruao of the institution) was gratified at the very successful result of an undertaking in which his late brother and the noble lord the Secretary of the Admiralty had taken such deep interest, and an experi ment of nearly two years had mow resulted in the forma tion of what all felt to be a very valuable institution. He was very pleased that Lord Clarence Paget had bad an opportunity of meeting the of of the Royal Naval Reserve on board the Worcester, because it showed the connexion which existed be tween the mercantile marine and the Royal Navy. That intimacy had always been encouraged by the shipowner' of London, and the conductors of the school not only Doped that the lads edecated in it would join the Naval Reserve, but they pressed upon them the expediency of their doing so as an indication of their desire to promote the interests of the Royal Navy. (Hear, bear.) He thought that they must all of them have been pleased at the progress which the boys had made in mathematics and other branches of nautical loathing, and he amured the company that while the con ductors of the school had shown themselves at all times anxious to increase the iotellectnal attainments of the boys, they had been most careful not to neglect their religious teaching, bat had done all in their power to promote the reading of the Scriptures. In point of fact they studied alike the welfare of the boys here and hereafter. Letters of apology were then read by the bon. secretary from Y. Bullivant, Mr. Crawford, M.P., Mr. Lindsay, M.P., Mr. litepheo Cave, M.P., Catania Jackson, Captain Englefield, Captain Sprcwle, Mr. J. Beesley, the chairman of the Conway, and other gentlemen, who head been pre vented by pressing engagements from attending ,• and oa the motion of Mr. CRANIA:He, seconded by Mr. W. PHIL LIPS, a cordial vote of thanks was given to the chairman, which nought the proceedings to a close. After the meeting the company promenaded the deck for some time, Mr. Green's band being in attendance, and playing several lively airs. DEATH OP NIL JOHN HENRY GREEN, P.R.S. The medical profession and the public generally will regret to hear of the death of this estimable and accom plished surgeon, which took place at his residence, Hadley, Dear Barnet, ou Sueday eveamg, the 13th iest.

In 1844, on the resignation of Sir Benjamin Brodie.

From her M.qmty's government be received the appointment of President of the Council of Medical Edam. tins and Registration of tho United Kingdom. The death of Mr. Green, though at last sudden, was not altogether unexpected ; he had been labouring fur some months under la sharp attack of gout, complicated with disease of the heart, from which it war hoped, by the kind and skilful treat ment of Lir. Brieton, los attached friend and physician, he bad recovered. Thin gentleman bad suggested the resigna tion of sevetsl others held by the deceased, in order that by affording rest so valuable • life might be spared for some time ; and be bad so far recovered as to be able to go to Lie sitting room, when on Sunday last be was suddenly seized with his fatal Wilma. which carried him off in his ?204 year. He leaves a widow sod a Lags circle of friends to deplore nee of the greatest losses which has oc curred in the medical profession for many years. No man was more deservedly honoured. His very person proclaimed his dignity. Tall, of Dobbs presence, the panty of his morals, the sustained elevation of his character, the active peuetratioe of a strong intellect, the unruffled equity of a superior judgment his gentleness, at once amiable sad firm, his tranquil modesty, his unvarying rectitude, were all pourtrayed in hie noble features.
