Dr. WATTS, of Manchester, made a 00011RILUJCS21011 On "Trade rot:leder." After stating the politioe-moseente principle that wages were dependent upon supply and de mand, he mid that attempt. by trade societies to obtain the same wages for inferior workmen, to limit the number of apprentices, and to exclude men who lied not served a m ull specified apprenticeship, were mischievous, sad must In the end defeat their own object. Every obenuds to pro duction, whether by the government or trade soolease, wee injurious to society, and especially to the poor, by robing the price of commodities. But it might be ealad, Are the men to submit to all kinds of insult sod oppressioa f " No. Let the secretary ot the social. , Owe himself la iterammios , tion with other tows., and smertala what were the wages, and the opening. for employment, end draft el the men etimordingly, sad thus pmeat as tank teditedat ke lf, however, it we. found there was no opentog, end was were we higher, It would prove that the meow was right, end it would be folly to attempt to rust the reduce bon. This principle would apply, whether the objection to a workman arose on s question of were or on one of ohs , ratter. _ Mr. Metcous Ross read a paper " On the Evil end Imliay of Striker, and what might be submituted," In which he panned the same polinco-oconomio erguntest by Dr. Watts. He attributed to the operation of d strikes tae panics which every saw and then passed over the country, sad °pomaded Met if employers sod employed only meted upon the sound priadpisd of pintos! economy their relative position. would be much improved. He sub mitted that the gamma of wages must be settled by the mas ters and men conjointly, and not by arbitration of third t= which the experienos of France showed rather in then diminished the evil Of course there must be mutual good-will, and a desire on both sides to expunge everything that might be offensive or unjust to each other. Mr. Kelly FAWCITT ILA., delivered an able address "Oa ohs !WNW Houni:itey of Strikes." After remarking that sagateem dewed that in some mimes observation alone wee ad @Widen', but that iodisation was also re quired, he add be was going to take a hopeful view of the strike lielleenlind. He treated his subject with great ability, arguing that it was not sufficient to say strikes were in• comisems with politioid economy, and that men most not, Weil% strike, but they most endeavour to ascertain the muss el such strikes, for they often fell into error in apply ing to Imelda questions the absuact principles of political OCiene•, which frequently required time to bring out their results. After laying down the law of wages as depending upon the Mattes of capital to population, he proceeded to argue Net then were disturbteg muses which interfered with the sheathes operation of the principle, end gave rise to these strikes. In iuuetration of this he referred to the posi tion of the sgrimeltoral labourer, whose wages wen below the average of the artisan, and said that he arrived at the con clusion that there was thil teniesay la sakes, to equalise wages in different employments, and felted also the tendency to give the labourer a share in the antra moats of the em ployer, when they were raised by atedponey awes. The stnkes might he directed, bat they *odd sot be checked. As they Moms more general they would set occur so often, because, when they b,crme recognised, the employer would prefer giving from his profile an increase of wages, vitiated the inconvenient preeeure of strikes. The littered. of da• ployers sod employed were not identical, bat Were as Ina opposed as those of boyar and seller; the latter withal le give es little labour es poesible, and the former as low as possible. The working classes as they became more tailwind would see this, and would me their abilities to secure every advantage 'high they legitimately and fairly could from the employer. Thus it seemed to him that as society became more intelligent, the community would be divided into two great °epode' interest.. This was not a gratifying view, but it raised the question whether another state of society than this which prevailed in England wee not possible, and whether the ultimive result of these colthioas between labour sad capital might not be an aro elation of the labourer with the employer in the prelim of trade. lir. Fantod ooaciaded amidst the applame us the audience. Mr. 3. MACV•ILANZ read a paper entitled "What is the Peters of the Relationship between Employer and Em ployed f std ere aumbinatiens, either on the part of operatives ur employers, injurious or otherwise?" Mr. HVOHIS then reed the report of the committee ap pointed at the Liverpool meeting as to trade societies. The committee stated that they had not yet been able to collate all the information they had received, nor wee the inquiry yet completed, and they were not therefore prepaid at present to minces any opinion on the subject, bat they recommend that they should be reappointed for the pompom of con.inuing the inquiry. Mr. KATI 1110•1, of Liverpool, moved the adoption of the re and the reappointment ot the committee. r. , FORSTILI seconded the motion. Mr. Bataan thought the rent of the evil of strikes was mistaken ideas, mid those ideas would be best correctel by education, and instruction to the rising generation es to the muses of strikes. Mr. DUNNING, secretary to the London Bookbinders' Associettoe, whilst admitting the principle of supply and &mead, said that trade societies were necessary to equalise wages during the temporary fluctuetions in the supply and demised for labour ; but their object was not to raise wages when the supply was permanently in great excess of the demand. Mr. Cower.L. the principal conductor of the Preston strike, explained the cense of that great strike as arising from the reduction of wages during periods of panic, without any ports-pending advance on the return of pros perity. Teta, he said, was the general cause of the Lem shire strikes, and he suppirted his statement by a brief sketch of the history of tome of them. The Preston strike failed because of the panic arising from the breaking out of the Russian war, but it had not been without its good re sult., and both parties would be loth to eater upon such another struggle. In conclusion be expensed his oonviction that they would have fewer strikes H there wee more sym pathy between masters and workmen. (Applause.) Mr. E.

At the 1 dinner of the West Cambridgeshire sad South fleets Arieshum' Society, held on Friday last, at Kneftworth, the Earl of H•ILDWICILK, in responding to the Meet of " The Navy," said he might with propriety and gratitude advert to the catheilicent services rendered by the gallant Captain Sl'Clustock, who had so nobly placed before the country the result of the great expedition in which he had been engsgri—the close of this series of expeditions which the country had undertaken, and which had ended la the solution of a vest geographical problem. (Hese, hear.) His lordship hsvisg enticed at some length into a &scrip [Pin of the El'Cllntock Arctic Expedition, In which the fate of the gallant Franklin had been settled, he mid he bad fervent hopes that eves yet some tidings might be heard of the missing men. Some of the last t hens of their remains were found south of King William island, pear the entrance of the statuary wbtch leads to the Great Fish River. In that quarter there wee plenty of game, and that, added to the intercourse still to be had with the Esquimau:, led him to hope for the beet. (Hear, hear.) He fervently trusted that some day or other tidings might be heard of them. As regarded the service to which he had more especially alluded, be deemed that they were in the highest degree indebted to the gallant 11`Cluitock for the successful results of his expedition. (Hear, bear.) He (the Earl of Hardwicke) would allude to another important point —the recent mishap In Chins. He would abstain from saying one word ea to the generalship or the admiralship which attended that expedition. He himself knew nothing of the country—he bad never SINS the ground—and consequently could tone no correct extinisto as to the circumstances attend ing the affair. But he could form thestbante of the daring, the courage. the resolution, and the great bravery 'manifested by those who wets engaged init. (Cheers.) There had been the same exhibition of intrepidity, the same gonad bearing, the same Indomitable courage shown es that which had charac terised every instance in which the arms of our heave coun trymen had been called Into play in whatever quarter of the world. (Loud cheers.) The gallant leader in that expedi tion—the brave commander-in-chlet in that sad ass—had been himself severely wounded. (Hem, bear.) Whenever they saw their intrepid ofhoers gallantly performing their ditties under lire, canine of all but the performance of those duties and their country's honour, they felt themselves bound to offer them their et-Maude, their admiration, and their esteem. (Cheers.) Englishmen never deserted those who so gal- Ithtly erred them, even though they might be unthecessful in their efforts. The greatest naval men the world ever ear was once defeated—Nelson, at Tenerife, when he was severely wounded, nay, when he lost his right sem. But U Earn had she been supported by his country subsequently —if his country had not upheld him by their prilerou. *yin patby they would never have seen the hero of a Trafalgar or a N , ile.

I tuthreseed an opinion at the oommencement of this trial that the Board of 'Trade bed ne right to demand the captain's certificate until they had proved bun in error. To that opinion I still adhere, and 1 therefore strongly, pro test against withholding the certificate. Captain Harris—lf we give up the certificate now, it would imply that the verdict of the court was in favour of the certificate being returned. The certifiable was retained by the clerk to the magis trate% and the proterhege terminated. THE GREAT EARTERN.—Not withstanding all the rumours and confident liseertione to the contrary, the as nonneement made that discreet ship would before the end of the present mouth be upon her voyage to the United States will be found to be correct. A. at pre•eut decided, the vessel will leave Holyhead on Moody. the 24th inetant. There may be a short delay belong this date, but it will not extend to more than a day or two. The cause of this delay, ! if any, will arise from the inspection of the ship and en gines, in accordance with the terms of the contract with Mr. Rumen, previous to their acceptance be the company. The contract nominated Mr. Fowler. C.E., end Mr. !['Lien, C. 8., orbitrstors to decide upon nature that might arixe in dispute between the company end the contractors. These gentlemen have now commenced their elimination, and have appointed Mr. Hatirkehaw, referee. Mr. Jordan and Mr. Wiley have been requested to survey the ship, sad the!, have requested Mr. Paterson, the builder of the Great Western and many other ships at Bristol, to whit them in the survey. The di rectors are, it is stated, satisfied with the performance of the chip on the late trial trip. No ofilaisl report hes yet been received by the board, either from the captain or the engin eers in charge. Some very extraordinary notions ha v e been didulgid in respecting the speed which the ship wee to make, very far exceeding the anticipations and calculatiose of Mr. Brunel, to whom the greet chip owes it, °nen. A short time only before his death be stated most distinctly to some persons wbo were talkie( of the ship making 20 knots that she forswuld do nothing of th e lurid ; that s he wee never designed such • ate of speed, and that his calculations were that she make the voyage frost England to Calcutta or Sydney is from 32 to 38 days. This, he stated, In the most confi dent moaner, she would accomplish, the rate of speed re quired for that purpose being only from 14 to 14k knots per hour.—Observer.
