If the reader in pealing along Blackfriare-road will turn down Charlotte-street, end walk • few yards east ward, he will suddenly find himself in one of the very worse of those homes of squalor and crime which at present die grace the metropolis. la the emphatic word, of a polloanim who knows the locality well, the district has " thieves enough in it to sapply ell [London," and of the filth and anitchederes of the neighbourhood the MOOS of the curious visitor will supply witness enough. The district a la the pariah of Christ Church, and the energetic rector, the Rev. Joseph Brown, has of late years been making a most dater inlaid attack upon the ignorance, the vice, and misery of which this portion of his parishioners are the victims. About seven yaws ego he established school.. through which no fewer than 4,000 children have airesdy pared ; and be hae also set en foot • weakly ravings fond, which now num bers nearly 2,000 contributors.

The total coot of the Milks and its littler& has been about 2,0001. Yesterday afterama the Lied Mayor, semenputied by the the Lady Mayoress, Mr. Sheriff Hale, Lord Redatuok, the Rev. Sir W. Dunbar, and a considerable number of ladies and gentlemen, visited the retabliahrocnt, end after carefully inspecting its smarmiest@ they assembled in me of the lariat rooms, where prayer was offered by Mr. Brown. hymn was sung by • number of the school obildrsn. Lord Re INJTOCL then rood a brief address, which recent takted ashen history of the undertaking, and concluded erdh • request to the Lord Mayor that he would pronounce oho Motanti's, to be open to the public. The LORD NATO. exproosed the eam be had derived Loma minute examinationof the building, and shop, Ora it would prove a great and permanent blasting to tne neighbourhood. He vas very glad to and that so mach attention was paid in It to sanitary matters; for he thtugbt there was tench mom trash than wee commonly supposed in the old proverb that "oleanlinews was next to godliness.'

Paul himself. The dormitories were admirab's. Eves be, Lord Mayor as be wan, could not coo mead • better bed, a chewer room, or en apartment In which rime., laws were more stalely regarded; nor could he but think that it would be a gn at thing to give the young a meta for decent accommodation.

He (toe Lord Mayor) bed the greatest pomade pleasure in declaring the in satatiun open; and he had only te express a bops that the example now net would be followed by other parishes, and that ouch • *Taal blessing would re.t upon them that his friends the shop& would we long find their unpleasant duties •boliehed, and that • white flag would be hang over New est* to intimate that these were no tenter any pawners con fined within its gloomy walls.

TY* obainmakers, of whom nearly 2,000 are au Arnie i Ma neighbourhood, held a great wasting re Taw day alisratas, at which the speaker. detailed their grievances as wM ba asse from the report below. A men rmed Thome' Horner, who has no farther con sworn with the trade than is secretary to the onion, was called to the chair. la opening the proosediegs be pointed to the large 'morose. as a proof that as a body the chide ! makers were firmly united, sod he was glad to say that the Mae was well supported, and the rear meeting to stech an extent patronised by the fair sea. In the chain trade there were many women emt toyed, and be herd they would soon get a better price for their labour. (Hasa hear.) He bed received a litter from Chester, net{ • reseenger had also been despatched to him to say that Wood Brother had taken out summonses spirt three men for Drier of work. This was &frost to theme before the Stourbridge magistrates, for in etttitlolt to the notice signed by him, the men had appended their name to soother, and had worked out the fourteen days settee To oblige the mares, however, the men had worked for another day or ea to finish up some work. Now they were summoned to appear before the magistrates at Cheer for it ; and is order to keep the meet in suspense, the sum nemess were kept back as long as pomade. A modes had been held the previous night, and they had sent a legal error defend the men.

They only banded Ingetherto protect their intimate end pro vide for taeir neosseities They would not iojare the masters directly or indirectly. A- Mr. CHANCS VIM the next speaker. He said that he liked the working alarm and he appreciated all those who endeavoured to serve them. He believed that the masters really thought that they (the chain makers) wished to demi- ' WS over their meters. He disavowed any such idea. He only wished to realise for the working dimes a fair reran- • aeration for their toil. He repeated again that he only I wished to see the working man able to support his wife and family withcut being ground Into the duet. He wanted to see them with their cupboards full, and threader able to take that retreat recreation which educatioa would give them • torte tor. He ferried he wee repress what Earl Stesteesbury said at the Social Science Meeting at Liverpool, last year—that God wee the creator of their sore as well is either bodies, end every obstacle thatdeeterkeree that soul and • body, ought to be removed, and sera prod in the ppao. sitter he te strained to SU. Now, ha bad sought to reeKs the otgecte that nobleman had in view. Lord John Russell had said In the House of Commons that the working men of England ought to realise their fair shire of those advent.re of science that an in existence in tble counry lie had so wish to be considered • demagogue because he desired to improve their pockets stomachs, hearer, and homes. Such a state of things Lord John Russell said they were witted to, and Earl Seaftesbory said they ought to have and enjoy. He did not wish to extract mosey from the master's pocket, nor wee it the consumer be wished to attack. They wired simply to protect themeless' aping those redactions perpetually taking place in the trade. If • man could show that such were his real sentiments there was erbium to be alarmed at. He bad talked with many masters in this district and other parte, and with one except that of a master of the neighbourhood—they all concurred in his opinions, and said he was in the right. He went Into the question of the care of the reduction of were, and said first one toaster, by underhand practicer, is enabled to sell at • lower price than other., and In selfsdefence other IMMO., to • do business, bed to reduce their prices to that of the retried'. He thosght if the masters looked the mater fairly in the face they would not long have cause to complain. (Chasm The third speaker wee • Mr. Btess. of Newcastle.

With regard to driving the trade to the north of England, be confidently said at. wee • far lormostion that they wished to fix on the north of England. He armed thew he Aid no• eone into the south to deceive them. It was already settled at Newcastle that as soon se they (the southerners) went in the men at Newcastle should ask for an advauce of prices. He believed that that meeting was • proof that theme of Stair Mehra were olive to their own interests. He could not help reverting to the *roger now pending In London between the master builders and their men. Mr. Wilson, • clever sechitect, when toe master builders asked him to help them to pet down the movement of the men, said that In the present , struggle he had determined not to ieterfere ; he wouli fir 4 make himself master of the facts. He did so, and he CMS to the conclusion that to break up the men's societies In Engird would be an injury to the British constitution; he believed elncerety the meters were In the wrong end the men In the right. Wirth they had such men in England, do not let them giveny. When this struggle in the chafe trade here, it was thought that there should be a reduc tion in the day's work is the country.

To show them that their north country brethren red to help them, he called a meting in the trade, and they despatched him into Bedfordshire to get the full particulars of the strike, and sent 601. with him—(epplause)— and so tom ! as that strike con firmed, it wee agreed tote north thr 601. • fortnight should come to this district.

There were members of the legislature of the country going to roar Inquiries into the matter of children working in factories. Mr. Anton had salted foe a commesion on the subject, and if the object in view was achieved, he thought they had sot lived far nothing. He hoped a time would come when they would give their wives end daughters an opportunity of berthing the pure air of Heaven in the day, as they then did. He thought it was of little use advancing ore potibea without the moral condition was also improved. He thanked them fur their kind attention, and he bore to them Mr. Reed's good wiehee also. Mr. House limited any one present to ask a peados on as subjeot, and said they did not shut the reporters out, and hold secret meeings. They did not need comminuted. Mr. North FORgrla said he had heard of times when assessapsre where hard-up for matter, and had great trouble to fill up their Dr. thalweg.

The presentation consisted of • very handsome rosewood cabinet (manufactured by Mr. Hadley Chapman), and containlog sumptuously bound copies of the works of Shakspeare, Milton, Bacon, and Burns. A soiree was held In the Albion Amenably Rooms, which wag attended by shoot 600 inhabitants of the borough many of We.

Mr. Lindsey, on entering the TOM with his frisods, wee received with humane hewing. Mr. RIDS', • journeyman joiner, read an address to Mr. Lindsay, which was signed by about 800 non-electors of the borough. Mr. LINDSAY, who was greeted with loog-conlinned cheerier, thanked the aseembly for tbe tastimanial wi th which they ha d presented him, but, shove all, thanked them for the feelings which dictated this spontaneous desire to aid so very bumble • member. H. h.d loft them in regret, but not Is eager, sad perhaps they might in of yews fled that the prieciplm which besdvoceted ware theminelplas white meld tend most to the interests of the people at large, and to their own Wrest. In the long run. But It wag not so meth on ac count of his political pricclples that the testhanial was given to him, but there was a feeling among the working-choose that be had sasisted In giving them the mesas of gaining knowledge. fomegentlemenwereofopenionthatitwasunwte ' to educete the working classes, end that knowledge led to combination and strikes. At all events there were strikes when knowledge wee fees rare than it is new, and If know ledge had done anything It had done this: that while the strikes in olden times were accompaaled by bloodshed and violations of the law, no violatkem of the law occurred now. The mecbaeles bed first to Ilan that the wen-being of the working-classes was as esmatial to the tranquillity end hap piness of the state as It wee to their own hsrminere ; and by a little study they would here that the increase of revenue and stock wee increased eational wealth. If they had this Impressed on their minds, they would not be so disposed aa they were at pre-eat to combine among themselves to enforce better Ingle, when the demand for labour did not warrant It. Labour was the poor man's capital, se much ea shipping and lend was his (Mr. Lindsay's) ; and ha had • miffed right to disothe of that capital to the best advantage. (Cheers.) He ern going to speak a few words to them in plain, honest language ; but it was for their good. In former times there were laws which made combinations for the advance dynes illegsl, sad malty restrictions were put upon the masters in remod to the somber of apprentices they took, &a., even be the dictation of the manner in which thaw apprentices should he fed. Happily, ell these laws had bees swept awn,ib.s; being unjust and injurious to the people thiamine. had now • right to combine amongst themselves, but it was very questionable to him whether it was for their Menet to do so. They lost In the long ran. Say, for Matinee, that they struck three months to get an advanes from 64. to be. Bd.; even if they wend their point they had lost 6s. a day for three months, and metaled an im mense amount of suffering upon themselves and (*milk*. They had also done an injury to the state, be cause they were unproductive labourers; they were consumers, but they were not lending anything towards the crinkle of the wealth of the nation. He would now come to the next poise. While they had a perfect right to my they would not take a certain wage per day, they had no right to my to their neighbour that he sot do so if he thought proper, because that was a species of tyranny, by not allowing him to minim his own free sill. What was the effect of there oombthations ? Thera wore rules laid doss which said that • certain man should rely work • certain Dumber of house. Take, to instance, tee masons trade which war now on strike In London. They said a man should only um his trowel with one hand; and the affect of Ibis woo that the skilled and industrious and energetic man wee put on the same footing as the indolent man, whose wages were the some es the other. The was en unnatural acme of things ; and the surprise to him wee, that the intelligent and energetic man should become a pasty to these combinations which attempted to "regulate" the see of labour. While he amid this, he begged them to bear in mind that he considered it equally Impolitic and erroneous for the masters to combine. (Loud chem.) Take the ship-building trade, far instance. Tatra were In Sunder land and in that port various grades of shipbuilders. There was one shipbuilder who could by his greater energy and shill have more odes for shipe, and could efford to pay workmen 6.. • day sad wake • profit. What DOA bed the other muter, to dictate to such a ship builder as this, and fay that beams they wise only paying ds. a day to the carpenter, be should only give as. ? Why he only gave 6s. a day on the presumption that he could get e full nodal for that money. Tamer*, it was ea impolitic and as unwise on the part of the masters to eater into these combinations unit wee foe the men. The Menge to regulate wags. wee also injurious. A large employer of labour that day told him that he was connected with the mem, and it Maimed that la the Printer.' Union they had a general as sembly and varlotto preabyteriee. The rate of pay woe 6d. pm thousand letter., but at Aberdeen it watt osly 41d. The reifsmoothly decided that the Aberdeen pay 'mould he ied that the Aberdeen printers should sinks. The prlitten mid, " We do not want to etre.; we are setistlod with the pay, and as house rent mad living are a great deaf cheeps: In Aberdeen then In London, Liverpool, and other great cities, 41d. is better to us in Aberdeen than 6d. to you In London." The general asenubly would not listen to that sensible rentoong, end compelled the Dna to strike against their Inclination and clearest convictions ; sad they were obliged to leave their famine/ in want end misery to obey the mandate, of that general .trembly. This was a species of tyranny not to be tolerated. All attempts to regulate wages Of the price of articles had been signally fallacious; the price must be repulsed by demand and supply. Macy years since an attempt wee made to re gulate the price of coals. The coaloween fixed the amount of produce and the price of the coals. Consequently, to maintain the price they had flied they were obliged to ma:ete rnity curtail the supply, so that some large collieries which could have worked 600 tons a day were obliged to reduce their workings to perhaps 100 tons. Intelligent men said immediately. We are getting 16e. per ton upon there hun dred toss, but if we gut 7.. a ton upon live hundred tons, we should have a much larger profit, and be able to employ • greaten number of workmen; " so that title system which they bad established fur their especial benefit brought an amount of ruin upon venous collieries. It was the num thing with any attempt to regulate wages. Why should the indolent man be placed on the same footing es the due, manly, energetic fellow who could niske Is. or 8.. • day? Did they think the intelligent mon of England would con tinue to steed that P No. A. they got more knowledge they would and that those combination were not only tying their hands, but they were doing more than this.. This wee • great national question. Since the policy of free trade was wisely established in this country Englishmen had been force! to Compete with other nation, sad to maintain our position we must compete also In the , labour market. If by the.., combinations they were curtailing the time when a ' man was allowed to work, sad oonsequentiy must give blue • greeter wage, they were raising the rote of wages, so that the manufacturer of this country might not be able to produos the article at se tow a price as his competitore. the consequence was that be wee driven out of those markets. This nil ell upon &a workmate, because it threw them out of employntent. It mode the number desirous of being em ployed greater than the number required; and consequently wage. fell, while employment ceased. He asked them to be bound by no law which attempted to hear thee energy, sad so ask in the market for that pries which their labour we. worth, but also to ask to have free scope for their industry and energy, ea that they might nap the reward. By doing so they were not only benefiting themselves, bat the "Ilion. FAR, EMIGRATION TO THE CAP& OT GOOD HOPE. —Os the 234 instaat ware embarked at Southampton. wider the sapsriuteadsuce of the Ron.

The condition of the iron trade of this district Improving. Home comatose's, who, prior to quarter-day. had been holding off from purchasing except just sufficient for ituneedisie use, are now buying more freely, and trice. have assumed en aspect of increased firmness. Route foreign orders bay. hese received, and neon the whole thing. are in a more satisfaction condition. The orders from the United Estates have not jot lien so great as might have been expected; but now that there is every probability of a bountital harvest, with • oafs ingethering, it is hoped pros pects will become more c►eering. There circumstance', is connexion with as euy mosey market, will bee doubt tend to raise confidence, ualem the settlement of the offal= of hely, which it is mid is becomunt more intricate, should operate adversely. The demand for disootuits is rather abating ; but until lately it has leen indicted to activity, and has molted a little meagre:a In the commercial world. Notwithstanding this the proepecta of the iron trade continue gradually to brichten, end the various mills and forges have bets aenraly engaged, with the exception of during the loot tow day*, the best having booms to intense that in some places the men have mend working.
