SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM SPRING Via:TING. W EDNIKDAY. The weather today was still name brilliant, if than that which favoured the City and Suburban L e t b lt gun being as powerful as one is in the habit of amocating with the Goodwood week. The chid drawback to the ocim fort and enjoyment of the dame was the fine white dant which the traffic in the anomie near the steed and on the roads drove up, rendering the air thick, ekes, and oppressive. Although racing did not commence till 1.30, the beet* enclosure was ailed tone before that time, and though the Great Metropolitan • femme betting nes— has been • dead letter in the 'market, it fornielied • medium for heavy spendatiee beg before the nem commenced. Verger and Plasm, who in Lades overnight were rumoured sonata:Wm were the priecipal animals supported on the amenibling of the dig members. Abeat the former as little as sto 2 was freely mowed before the mumbles for the int mos were hoisted, and Planet was backed to win many hundreds, at first at 100 to 3, and finally at 10 to 1, the latter prior being laid by one iodueatial bookmaker to another of his clam. Dollar, Blackclown, Beatrix, Breeze, and Welcome were the other hones m ostly invested upon before the day's sport commenced. The 200 Noes. Sweepstakes, b ft, over the five (Grimes course, resulted is • match between Viceroy and Demotion, the former of whom, with odds COO him, won, though not until after • hard fight, by half a length. The Waterloo Flats attracted fourteen to the post. and a " warm us" was bowled over in Advance ; the talent, who rushed madly on con sequent upon his forward position in the City and Sub• urban, laid 7 to 4 before the flag fell, but the good thing was upset by Nip, to whom Hearer oouoeded Oat 91b on Tuesday. The match between Roma and Dentures of Kent resulted, am everybody anticipated, in the victory of the animal which was made favourite, notwithstaodiog Fordham wan pat up on Dunham of Kent. The Walton Stakes, for which eight of the fifteen entered were co loured, brought out • field of five seeders, and terminated in the victory of Attache, who (beaten in this ram last year), wee • fine race from Catalogue by • nook. The Metropoli tan Stakes, for which twentyeix horses were coloured on the card, stood next for decides. Upon the numbers being heisted the field was found to number nineteen, and such onfidence was reposed in Verger, who throughout the day bad been increasing in favour, that 3 to 1 was eagerly snapped up about the reputed good thing. Blackdown, who was second in demand, ran a good game horse, but the fur ourite disappointed the followers of the light Mexican blue sadly. Planet, whose running in the Spencer Plate aeeond to Paris gave the public a taste of his form, was much fancied by the majority of backers of horses, and was by no means a good bone for the nog men, many of whom lost heavily. Amongst other fancy bets we heard of was one of lOU lova to 1 laid a short time since about the doable event, the City sad Suburban and the Metropolitan, Argonaut end Planet having been selected by the beaker, • speculation which proveda moot fortunate investment. The Balaclava was another blow for the backer; as the favourite only finished second to Baloraook. For the Durdana Stakes six faced the starter, and again the backers of favourites met with reverses. Idler having been compelled to succumb to Lytham. Nine ran for the Two-yr old Stakes, which Count Battliyany'a alsahing colt won very cleverly by a neck. Betting during the afternoon was noticeable for the demonstration which was made spinet Liddington for the Two Thousand, and the one, reigning favourite for the blue riband received his quietha, 20 to 1 being freely offered.

The chair was takes by the Prime War des, Mr. Jaitrn Smola. Of the entertainment itself it is enough to say that it was worthy of the reputatioa for civic hospitality for which the Filustongsrs' Company is so deservedly orlebrated. The Maser was admirably served by Messrs. Ring sod Bryroer. A 'skean of vocal music was piece med ceder the direction of Mr. Hy.

Brydges, John Fairfax, IL Bodkiu Poland, and . _ After the loyal and national toasts the PRIDE WARDEN proposed "The British Wades," in connexion with the names of the Hoe. G. E. Cartier and the Hon. A. T. Galt. Mr. G. E. Camas, in responding, said—Mr. Prime Wades, my lords, and p ntlernem—Tbe honour which you have done my country and myself by the kind invitation white you have given us to attend thus grand banquet cam emit • fading of gratitude upon my part. You have hews kind enough, and the distinguished members of both Melee et the imperial parliament present have also been kind enough, on this occasion to allow the toast of "The British Colonies" to be drunk before those of the Lords and Commons, You alicided„sir, to the weenie now before the British North American colonise, and before the government and parliament of this country, of a aorsfechwation of those colonies. Now we have felt in Quads that, notwithstanding the great lea' slit which the Coeds have derived from the constitution granted in 1840. that constitution his been overgrown by the prosperity and the growing wants of the two Canada% and consequently we are making for • system which will allow as to develop ourselves on • larger scale. (Hear, hear.) We have approached what we call the lower or maritime pro ✓ince.. We told them frankly that in Canada we possessed two elements which were mosseery for the constitution of • nation—the personal element and the territoral element — but that there was one element which we did not possess, namely, that element which has made the greatness of England, the maritime element. (Cheers) We told them that while they wasted territory we wanted seaports, and that with the two united we should all became great and ptesperous, and should assume with the mother country • sort of co-national existence. (Cheers.) Our government determined to send • deputation to England in order to Mimes on the imperial government the absolute necessity of carrying out that scheme of federation ; and we wish to obtain the benefit of the adoption of at schema not merely that we may be stronger and more prosperous, but also that we may be in • better 'maim to take our share In she defame of the country. (Loud cheers.) We nodes , stead very well that in the event of invasion we cannot meet the foe separately—that we cannot meet the enemy without the application of the whole foam of England. But, Mr. Prime Warden, we have secured such • union of the population of all the provinces as will enable us to take our share in the defame of the country. (Cheers.) Singly we cannot defied ourselves, but if united with the maritime processes we can devise a complete system at defence in connexion with the mother country. (Cheers) When we speak of a confederation of the North American colonies we do not speak of • system which tend/ to loosen the ties between the colonies and the mother country, but of • system which tend, to develop more emcee ourselves the maritime and mercantile elements in British North America, and to increase the power of the whole empire. Under oar scheme of confederation there would be no fear of • Minnie like that which has bees seen in the United States of America ; there can be no danger of • contention between State rights and Federal rights. We intend in our representations to the British cabinet to my that we are reedy —even Canada elect--to take one full share in the defence of the country ; but we shall put before the imperial government that it the federal scheme is car ried out we shall be in • better position to aid Great Britain in the event, which I hope will never arise, of war between it and the United States. I will, however, tak►this opportunity of remarking that if we in Canadae. take our share in the defence of the country, that will neces sarily involve a great expenditure. But I may add that you need not fear, what you have been told would happen, an increase in the duties on goods im ported from England into Canada. (Hoar, hear.) The assertions to which I allude are not warranted and as they are mustier a great deal of mischief, I am glad of the opportunity now afforded me of making this denial. (Hear, hear.) Now it has been remarked in speeches is both houses of parliament, as well as i• certain aewspapers in this country,,that siuce,Csnada is so valuer. able, it would be better for the security of England that she should be left to exist in a state of independence, or to farm pert of the United States. (Cries of " No, no.") We understand in Canada that • cause of war ern scarcely arias from ourselves—it must arise from au imperial con cern. (Hear. bear.) We understand that we are vulnerable, but we are willing that our country should be the battle field, in order that the honour of England may be vindicated. (Cheers.) Ws have no dad'', to be independent, still less to be annexed to the United States; we have no wish to become a portion of the American Republic : such en idea we view with horror. (Cheers.) But we have the sate faction of knowing from her Majesty's speech on the opening of parliament, that our scheme of confederation is approved by ber Majesty's government as well as by the sense of the English people. Subsequent proceedings have shown that it has the approval of both houses of parliament, and we feel that under such a system we can aid England in any straggle which she may have with the United States. If the fallacious argument prevailed that became the defence of a particular colony was likely to become a great source of expense that colony should be left to Itself, than all the colonel pommies. of England , must go. If that argument were carried out to its logical • extent the result must be that the British empire would ultimately be limited to England, i Inland, and Scotland, and he presumed that no one present was n favour of that lame. (Cheers.) Mr. GALT said the toast of "The British colonies" was I one in which not merely the Colonists personally, but all England must be deeply interested. In the course of • de placable straggle which has been going on for the last four years in America the prestige and the power of England have been to a certain extent imperilled. IWe have all hoped, and we still hope, that our ' friends and neighbours in the United States will he • enabled to come together. We desire in the interests of humanity that the struggle should came, and cease at an . early period ; we desire that, irrespective of any personal interest which we may have in the matter on acconot of the disastrous results to this country and to the world at Jorge, arising from that deplorable conflict. I may take this opportunity, the first opportunity that has been afforded me, of alluding to the sad news which bas reached I London to-day—(hear, hear)—news which I believe will be • • subject of regret to every Englishman, and to every in habitant of the North American colonies. (Hear, hear.) We have not learnt the particulars of the • events to which I allude ; but whatever may have been our feelings, whatever our sympathies, with regard to the great struggle in A merle, we annum but feel that the death of those twoman—the first men in America—who have fallen , victims to assassination, is an event which must shock the public mind of this country, and of the whole world. Differ ing as I did from much of their policy, disapproving as I did of many of their acts, still I musts y with regent to Mr. , Lincoln , who lee now paired away, that I believe he was • I pure-minded and patriotic citizen of the United States (Cheers.) And I will may also of Mr. Seward that !deeply , deplore his removal from • position in which I believe be was performing the highest duties in • manner which showed that he bad not only the hewed' of his own coon try at heart , but was also sincerely desirous of =Muta t:dog ' peace with the and with every foreign country. (Cheers.) I arn mire that the news which has reached London to-day I will carry a shook of alarm to the mind of every one who is desirous that the peas of the world should be preserved. (Hear, bear.) With tepid to the proposed confederation i of the North America' provinces, after what has been said by my friend Mr. Cartier, I will only observe that our object is not to weaken our ties with the mother country, but to piece ourselves in a position to perform those duties which we think may be demaaded of • great and growing British colony. We are not going to ask the mother ' . country to undertaker greater responsibility than that white ' his hitherto devolved npoo her; on the contrary, we are oome here to show that if this confederation be carried oat we shall be able to emu= • greater degree of impassibility than has hitherto fallen on Canada. (Hear, hear.) We feel that the North American colonies ought not merely to - I be • support to the mother country in time of war, but should also aid in developing the sources of wealth , in time of peace. It I. now desired that the thousands ad tens of thousands who emigrate from this kingdom to America should not flock to the United Mate; where the ties which bound them to this country may be broken, bat to Canada, wham we can o ff er them the admit ) ' tape of • system of goverment which will still keep them aseocisted with the British empire.

Clestain Meredith. the chief constable, and Superintendent Hurls, of the oounty police, ware she present. The prisoner was undefended.

She was I accompanied by Miss Green, the lady 'twice of "The Home," or " Hospital," of St. Mary, and in charge of inspector Frederick A. Williamson and Sergeant Thomas. of the metropolitan detractive polies force, Scotland. yard. Miss Meat was dressed in deep mourning, a thick veil being over her face ; but she looked very much Seabed on entering the justice.roorn, which was increased upon her taking her place at the bar, where every person in a most densely crowded court had an opportunity of gazing at her I Several ladies were scoommodated with seats on the beach, and daring the progress of the inquiry they watched with eager anxiety every particle of the small amount of evideoce which was adduced. It may be stated that Impeder and Sergeant Thomas took charge of Miss Kent after the thaminatioa at Bow-skeet, and conveyed her to the Padding ton station of the Great Week's Railway, whence she pro ceeded by the 8.10 p.m. to Chippenham. From Chipper ham they went in a postokainto Trowbridge, • distance of 15 miles, and daring the satire journey Miss Kent did not my a word. Miss Green, the lady superior of the St. Mar?' Hospital, at Brighton, was with them, and on Miss Kent being taken to the police-station at Trowbridge. Mks Gm= applied to be allowed to remain with her diking the eight- This was refused, and Hiss Kent was committed to themes of Mrs. Harris, the wife of the inspector on duty, who be hared with the greatest possible kindness to her. The primmer wee placed at the her thin morning. The Chairman (addressing her) said—You are brought on • warrant from Bow-street, where you appeared yesterday, and the evideoce then taken will he read to you. The warrant, however, on which she appeared, wee in the Ant jadeites formally atiduced. It was as follows : " Polimmourt, Bow-street.—)fetropolitan police district to wit. To all and every the constables of the metropo litan police force.—Whereas Constance Emilie Keel bath this day been charged. before the undersigned, one of the magistrates of the police-courts of the metropolis, sit ting at the policeman, Bow-street, in the county of Mid dlesex, and within the metropolitan polio* district : for that on the 29th day of June, in the year of our Lord 1860, she did feloniously, wilfully, and of her malice 'fore thought, kill and murder coo Francis Saville Kent at Road-hill House, in the county of Witte; and whereas I have taken the depositions of the Rm. Arthur Douglas Wagner, • witness examined by me in this behalf, but in asmuch as I am informed that the principal witnesses to prove the said offence saltiest the said Constance Emilie Kent reside in the county of Wilts, whore the said offence is alleged to have been oommitteci these are, therefore, in her Majesty's name, to command you or me of you the said constables, forthwith to take and °envoy the said Coa stal"» Emilie Kent to the said county of Wilts, and there carry her before some justice or justices of the pesos for that county, and near unto the parish where the offence is alleged to have beets committed, to answer further to the said charge before him or them, and to be further dealt with recording to law. And I hereby further command you the said constable to deliver to the said justice or justices the iuformation in this behalf, and also the deposition of the Rev. Arthur Douglas Wagon now given into your pos session for that purpose, together with this precept. Gives under my band and seal this 25th day of April, A.D. 1865, at the polka-mart. Bowatreet eformaid.—(Signad),Tawitts Hagar, Chief Magistrate." Mr. H. Clarke, the clerk to the magistrates, the. read to the Rev. A. D. Wagner, who was present, the following statement :—" The Rev. Arthur Denise Wagner, clerk in holy orders, on his oath, saith as follows I am perpetual curate to the St. Paul's Church, Brighton. I have known Constant* Kent about 21 months. She was introduced to me for the =of being admitted into St. Mary's Hospital at on, which is connected with St. Paul's church, and she came there about that time, and has resided there ever since. I have not in any way induced her to make any cm (melon to me, and to the best of my belief the oisfessiou she has made has been entirely by her own free will. About a fortnight ago it first came to my knowledge, and it was entirely her own propo sition that she wished to confess and give herself up, and it was her own proposition to come to London for that purpose. She stated to me, or in words to this effect, that she bad, alone and unaided, on the night of the 29th June, 1860, murdered, at Road-hill-house, Wiltshire, one Francis Saville Kent. I have Constance Kent to permed* her to confess, nor have I said anything to dissuade her from doing so, but 1 have been perfectly passive in the matter, feeling that she was doing the right thing. It is entirely her own free act. She thought of it herself, without my suggesting it to her.— ' Signed, A. D. WAGNEL'" The Chairman (to Mr. Wriguer)—ls that true? Mr. Wagner—Yes. The Chairman (to Xis Kent)—Have you any question to ask the witnees Miss Kent—No sir, I have not. The Chairman (to Mr. Wagner}—You may retire. Th. Clerk to the magistrates (to Miss Kent)-1 will now reed over the statement which you made to the magistrate at Bow-street. It is this :—" I, Coostanee Emilie Kent, alone and unaided, on the night of the 29th of June, 1860, murdered, at Road-hill Home, Wiltshire, one Francis Saville Kent. Before the deed no one knew of my inten tion, nor after it of my guilt. No one sulsted me in the crime, nor in my erasion of discovery." Mr. Frederick Adolphus Williamson, who was then called, laid—l am an inspector of the metropolitan detec tive foram Yesterday afternoon, the 25th of April, I went to Bow-street Police-station, where I found the prisoner. She was undergoing an examination before Sir Thos. Henry, the chief magistrate, and this paper (the confesidoo) sou handed to me. (Daring the reading of this oenfession the prisoner burst into tears, the first time she bee exhibited any emotion.) The prisoner was handed into my custody at Bow-street, and I conveyed her down here last night to Trowbridge. The Clerk -That is all the evidence that can be adduced In theme to-day. The Chairman—Miss Kent, you will now stand remanded es this charge until to-morrow week, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Until that time you will be taken oars of in the county gaol at Devizes. The prisoner then left the court in the custody of In spector Williamson and Sergeant Thome', and was con veyed to Devises, Mims Green being allowed to accom pany her. it was expected that Mr. Kent, the father of the prieoner, would be preeent, but he did Dot appear. The town was thronged with people during the morning, in the hope that they might be able to catch a glimpse of the prisoner. JOHN STUART MILL FOR WESTMINSTER. TO THE ZDITOZ OP TBZ ZXPRIOSA.

Sir William Armstrong and Mr. Whit worth being present, to make the trials of the two competi tive 70-pounders, the shunt-glut and the Whitworth, at what has been named "oblique firing." The experiments were oommenoed with the intention of firing several rounds of steel shot sod shell at two large iron plates, 4i inches thick, set up on a strong supporting framework of balks of timber in a sloping position, DO es to ecoertain whether the roand•headed shot or the flat-hsaded would pierce plates in this position. After six rounds had been fired, however, it wee found that the large pieces of the shot when it broke up few away to the right so far that the experiments were by no means without danger to the inhabitants of some cot- Mos beyond the limits of the practice ground, and the com mandant, Colonel Eardley Wilmot, ordered the firing to mane. The results, though incomplete, were in favour of the round-headed shot, but the experiments offered several new and important points, the details of which require a mare careful consideration than we can afford at the present meanest.

I entered him for the Croydon Steeplechase on the 19th of December, and in the meantime I gave Pickett, in whom care he was, instrue- Liebe to keep him quiet, and to place him in some stables where be would be well looked after. Upon that Pickett I recommended the deleadaat's stales to me. He mid they were the Royal Hill Stables, close to Hyde-park, sad that the horse oeuld be exercised on Rotten-row. 1 told him he I might lake the horse there. I then left for Brussels. The salt I heard of the horse was what I read in a se . It was to the effect that my bone had rum in • sailing steeplechases sad had bees sold by Pkkeott for 1001. I wrote to him about it, and he replied that he thought the expenses would have been too great is keeping the horse till the Croydon Steeplechase& and that he bad done the best thing for himself and for me. He said he could get back the horse fora little matey. Upon that I returned from Brussels, and went to the defendant's I stables, where the horn was standing in the name of Salt. I marsh. The defendant refired to deliver him up. The de- fondant said that Wham& had bought the horse at Read. tug, and had given the defendant an indemnity. Croseinanuned-1 had intended selling the horse at Tat- Weill's. I gave 4001. for him at Shrewsbury. He won two rams at Brussels, where I mitered him. He was toad of "holing." (Laughter.) He did so at Oroydon, to my perfect dieguit. (Laughter.) Pickett knew I wanted to get rid of the horse. He (the hone) had won 5751. I did not tell Pickett to sell bun in the hest way he could. Pickett was my trans& The horse bolted every tint* Pickett mounted him. Mr. Justice ern:notes—You don't want the bolter back again, do you. Mr. Hawkias ! Mr. Hawkins—!t depends upon who rides him, my lord, whether he bolts or not. Mr. Haddlestou—l don't think my learned friend could stop his bolting. (Lighter.) Mr. Hawkins—l am sure, if my friend Mr. Huddleston rode him, he would bolt. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Justice Crompton--Sometimes the bar bolts away from the question at issue. (Laughter.) Mr. Hawkins—Your lordship is the beat judge whether we ran on the right or wrong ado of the flag. (Laughter.) This was the plaintiff's ten. The defence was, that Pickett had • right to sell the bone, and was supported by the following evidence. Mr. J. Saltmarsh said—l take • great interest in 'port ing matters. I bought the horse in gaieties mad he was taken to my stables. lam him run and bolt at Croydon. 1 saw the plaintiff in the ring after the ram. He told Pickett to take the hone to the stables, and that he meant selling him, as he did not want to take him to Brussels. I saw him run at Reading, where I bought him by auction' His fore legs were bad, and be would not have sold well at Tattenall's. I paid the purchase matey to Pickett. Cross-examined—l have • great many race horses. This horse has won 1401. ethos I have bad him. Pickett rode him nos. He did not bolt then. I bought the born for Major Wright, who still has a share in him. I was afraid to beck him. The defendant was then called, and said he kept the Royal Stables, at Bayswater. Tics born, after having been bought at Reading, was brought to his stables. Themas Pickett said—l am a trainer and jockey. I was em ployed by the baron to take charge of his horse. I went abroad with him and rode him in sight mom He bolted in seven of them. (Laughter.) I brought him to England, and was told by the baron to get him ready for the Croydon steeplechase. I rods him there, and be bolted again. Upon that the plaintiff said he would give up racing and sell the bone. He said he would send him to Tatterealls'. I asked him the lowest price be would take for him. He mid sever mind the pries • do the best you can, and eon him the beet you can. I introduced Saltmanh to the baron.

When Hoffman arrived at Messrs. Jonsi's Ivanhoe's, he, with ISturanoras given into custody. When Hoffman's van was unloaded there was the right number of dusts, but one of them appeared to be of diffe rent brand. It appeared that a cheat of tea was missing from Pickford's van, which was next to Hoffman* and that which was in Hoffman's van was identified as one of that lot. Hoffman said he knew nothing at all of the matter, and Gamin said he was asked to take the chest in kin cart!, and he did no, thinking he might get a drop of beer. Both priaoners were committed for trial. BOW-STREET. - - - - Mr. Thomas Horsley Carnochae, solicitor, of Crowle.

It appeared that a Mr. Sykes was trustee for certain pro- perty in which the prosecutor, Mr. Shaw, was beneticially interested. Some dispute had arisen with regard to the accounts, and Mr. Shaw alleged that Mr. Carnochan, who wee solicitor for the trustees, bad altered • receipt. Some evidence on merely formal points was offered, and the counsel for the prosecution called on the defendant to pro duce the receipt in question. After some discussion on technical points Mr. Sediment Ballantine produced the document, observing that be had no objection to its being received is court, although he thought it would have been better if the mama who bed charge of it had been summoned. Upon the production of the document a further discus sion arose. Mr. Sediment Salkuitine suggested that • charge of forgery could not hold, as the additional items which brought the amount up from 361. to 511. odd appeared after the signature, and formed no part of the receipt. In fact, they bad been inserted by direction of the clerk of the Chancery Court, who had investigated the accounts, end referred to items admitted to be paid, though not included in the receipt. Mr. Metcalfe admitted that he had been misiostracted. He bad been led to believe that the insertions were before the signature. Mr. Vaughan said that even if the insertions were inoor. net there WY no ground for the charge of forgery. He should dismiss the summons, and the defendant would leave the court without • stain on his character.

They were eubjssNd to a siren mossimanditaticm jey Mr. Lewis, but nothing was elicited in prisoner's behalf. Mr. Wood was about to examine Mrs. Bayley, the re. spondent in the suit, but Mr. Arnold suggested a postponement, as the case bed occupied a ecosiderablo time. Mr. Lewis said what the prosecution wanted really was a new trial ; they were in fact now applying to his worship for it. Kr. Wood said a new trial had bean asked for, and the application had men postponed. Mr. Arnold said after that, even should he go on with the case, he should not commit the defendant, as she would be sent to prison, and when the new trial canes on in few days, one aide would be deprived of her evidence, which would be a most nojast proceeding, uit was really paying to get her out of the way. He had no notion that a new kid was being applied for. Mr. Wood suggested an adjournment for a fortnight. as by that time they would have a rule fora new trial if it I were granted. Mr. Lewis thought it would be better to wait till after June, when the decree absolute would be pronounced. Mr. Arnold adjourned the case sine die, and Mr. Bayley , was bound over in IW. for the appearance of the prisoner upon having notice from the court to produce her. 1885, SOUTHWARK.

The pawnbroker said she was • regular customer, and had been in the habit of pledging such things and redeem ing them. The magistrate told him be ought to hays knows better. It was not creditable to the pawnbrokers' trade to receive such goods ; is fact, it encouraged dishonest persona to rob their employers. The pr iso ner admitted pledging them while in the deepest distress. She could not earn bread by the work. The magistrate asked her how much she received for making them? The prisoner replied that she was paid • penny three faxtblap each, oat of which she bad to pay for her thread, fro. _ . The proseentrix, in answer to his worship, said that was trim, but after ir.sebining the shirts and finishing them off, she only got a halfpenny extra.

THE LOOK-OUT LN THE HEAVY WOOLLEN TRADE. —As stated • few daso, the men locked-oat in this die trith had sent a p roposal to the masters to refer the ques tions to dispute to ar bitration. On Tuesday the executive of the Operatives' Union received a reply from the secretary of the Mailers' Association, in which they declined the pro posal made by the men. The Masters' Association say, " We object to either unions or associatioos of such • kind on principle, and we only formed our association as • neces sity of the times. We believe that the law of supply and demand is the only means of fixing the wane of labour, as in the case with articles of merchandise. Taking this view of the subject, the meociation cannot see the propriety of referring the dispute to • board of arbitrators, as their award could not be made legally binding on either side, but which may prove impracticable, and perhaps destructive to the interests of both workmen and masters. On these grounds, therefore, the members of the association decline to have remote@ to arbitration.* The men consider this • most arbitrary and unjust coarse, and indignation meetings are being held throughout the whole district. Much excitement prevails, and the met are appealing to the different trade societies in the country for assistance.
