CONTRACTS FOR ARMS. Prew die itirsegitass Journal. The London Newspapers, within these few days, have fa voured the public with a variety of statements as to the war like preparations which have been set on foot in most of the greet States of Europe, and the contracts which have been entered into with English manufacturers for the supply of isrets to France, Ronda, and Prussia. In one account it is rated that 500,000 stand of arms are in course of miunifac ssue for France, 600,000 for Russia, and 300,000 for Prus • Isla. Having made special inquiry into the subject, we can imafidently say, that most of the statements so put forth are Incorrect, although some are partially true. The following fill be found to be the facts : In the month of November lest, the Frenob Government dispetcbed agents* Birmingham ,where they were led to no derstentithey might upon the instant purchase from 400,000 to 500,000 stand of arms. The contemplated use of these arms, was the euiajpinent of the National Guard. Upon in quiry, howem, We French agents found they were mistaken' as to the amodrit of ready made muskets to be obtained in this: town, and were, in consequence, recommeedcd by the Bit - mingham manufacturer', to apply to the British Govern ment for assistance. Ever since the close of the war, a large depot of arms had been established in the tower ; and it we" known to our makers from repeated conferences with Sir H. Raidinge, and other late others in the ordnance department, that of this warlike stock the government were dearness to dispose. Accordingly, the French agents adopted this ad vice, and immediately entered into a negotiation with the English Government. At first their application appeared to be decidedly successful ; but subsequently, owing either to the unsettled state of Ireland, or the commotions, and threat toning prospect of our own country, the government declined to part with the arms. This immediately led to a renewal of the correspondence with the Birmingham manufacturers ; the principal agent on the part of the French Government, being Mr. Rothschild. The total number stated to be required by the French Government, is 140,000 stand of arms, and not, as stated by the London papers, 500,000, and 1,400,000. As yet, however, the only order given, is for 20,000 ; the contractors for the supply of which are Wheeler and Son; Wooley, Sergeant and Felix ; Ketland and Co. and Mr. Adams, of this town; _scul Brander, and Putts ; Barnett and Son, and Lacy, an 11,11. ton, of London. The period stipulated for the executions( this first contract, is limited to the month of January, and is now nearly, if not entirely fulfilled. The contracts for the remaining 120,000 arms, we have reason to believe, was confirmed by the French Government, or their agents, on Saturday last. The whole of this contract is required to be completed in seven months. Great mistakes have bees .propagated as to the prices for which the English manufacturers offered to eremite the contracts. The price of eech nitisket is not as fated, 37 francs, or about 30*. sterling ; but shout 28 fano, or shout 235. sterling. Some idea may be formed of the reduc tion which has taken place in this, as in all other branches of manufacture when the fact is known, that during th e war, the OnSe:iry contract pri ce of the =wads supplied to the British Government was just 365. The prices now paid by the French, are, however, considered libe ls). The effect which this acceptable almc has cg c4 l in Birmingham, is alreadY visible. Owing to the long com parative extinction of the trade, since the close of the war, the operative departments had been abandoned by workmen, for other more certain and permanent employment. 'These men, elated by the temporary prospect afforded by the , present contract, are now, in numbers returning td their old avocations. For dun -lacks . , daring the begin ning of last year was Aid la. 2d. ~ , t Inteofetleiere are now glad to give 2i. hd. ' open this pace, .we may correct an error into which one of our metropolitan con temporaries has fallen regarding the capability of Bhmirig ham in the fabrication of fire-arms. The same paper Wiiich states the recent centrists as amounting 4o 1,400,000 stand of arms. asserts that the Birmingham manufacturers would require 14 years for the completion of so extensive an order. In the year 1813, there were fabricated in Birming ham for the Board of Ordnance not less than 320,6435 tend of aims, and in 1812, 288,741. From the MUMMA let forth in this pamphlet from authorised returns, it further appears, from 1804 to 1815, more than two-thirds of the fire-arms made for the Board of Ordnance during war, were made in Birmingham. Allowing for the reduction in she 'toolbar of hands which has necessarily taken place within these few years, there is no doubt but at the present time the manu facturers of Birmingham could set up 200,000 stand of arms per annum, while those of London would produce from 80,000 to 100,000. The last error propounded by the London press, which we shall notice, is the report of contracts for supply of arms being entered into with Russia and -Prussia. Applications, as far as we can barn, have .not been received from either of% those countries. Holland and Belgium have been in the market, but the wait of money, and the insecurity of all . engagements at the present moment, speedily put an sod to all negotiation. Poland, too, has bad its agents in Birmingham ; but the singularly novel and unsafe condition it :required how our gun manufacturers, has_prevented, up to "him time, any con 4rect being accepted. The condition demanded, was the ,safe delivery of the arms in Poland ! If we are to judge the amount of new arms required by .the Poles, their' army will not enter the field in such insignificant numbers,: as some of the Fren* papers give the world to uoderstencl. The application to the Birmingham manufacturers, was :for 50,000 stand. We understand that aill ity'sMinisters have come to the resolution of recommending she repeal of the tax on coal carried coastwise. There is no impost in existence 1 that has less to justify it. It levied on a necessery Tof life, on the poor, in a limited district. 1t is vicious in principle, oppressive and partial in operation. To crown its delinqtien- ; ace. it is comparatively unproductive. The tax 'which in- i llicts so much mischief on the ovule's of mine" and of ship ping, as well as on consumers, brings into the Exelieqder only 800,0001. per annum. With the tax, we understand, All the cumbrous machinery which-hes gunelle : heavily to ag ravatte its weight will bit ebellahed. Whippers!,!eaten, the Whole rice of 'chartered extortioner. are 4641 swept away. The public will then be free to pur chase their coals on that same principle and in the same way as they purchase other marketable articles, without the intervention of a dozen of legalized middlemen, every one adding hi. per-tentage of price to goods whose value his labours do not enhance.

Last Saturday night, pursuant to adjournment, a meet ing of the journeymen silk weavers of Spitalfields and its vicinity, took place at the Camden's Head, Bethnal green road, for the purpose of considering the propriety of forming a General Trades Union ; and, also, of petitioniug the Legislature for a " Wages Protection Bill,' as well as to discuss other trade affairs. Mr. Joss. en Purrox having taken the Chair, The Secretary read the proceedings of the previous meet ing ; and, after two Committees had made lengthened re ports of their interviews with othel Societies, so as to lead to the formatiim of a General Trades Union, Mr. Joie Po roe said it was currently reported, and very gloomily believed, that the Act which regulates the silk duties will expire the sth of July next. He did not believe &A a report had any foundation in truth. He was in the House of Commons when Mr. V. Fitzgerald brought forward his motion respecting a stipulated period for the Bill to ex wire ; and, although the bill was printed for the considerationof the Members of the House, and that different copies of it had found their way into the hands of those most interested, still it was found to be completely silent as to time, and that no I period was stated for its expiration. The Committee, or those interested in the hitherto management of the trade on the part of the journeymen, have not latterly been at the west end of the town on trade attire; and he believed the report to have originated in the facts that since Mr. Poulett Thomp son became Vice-President of the Board of Trade, several of the silk manufacturers applied to him to have the duties re moved, and be pledged himself to have them taken off next year if he should then be in office. It was well known that sines 1826 the iniportation of every article in the broad-silk lice hod eleriniogly increased; and two Years ago, when the Governmeat reduced the duty on foreign thrown silks from ss. to 3s. 6d. per lb. the English throwsters, in order to meet the coinpetitiou, sire obliged to improve their machinery, and reduce the wages of labour. By these means the impor tation was reduced, and the English manufacturer repossessed himself of his own market; but the French throwster, taking advantage which an Act of Parliament afforded him, and of the example set him, also improved his machinery, and re duced the wages of his labour, by which means be is likely to reinstate himself once more in the enjoyments and in the profits of our home market; and thus our government, by raising a rival competition between the two countries, is pro ducing the inevitable destruction of the labourers of both. It was a melancholy fact, yet no more melandholy than true, that the reduced value of English labour given to foreigners by far exceeds the amount of our annual taxation. His Majesty's present Ministers might be sincere in their pro mises of reforniiiii the Parliament and reducing taxation, but he could assure theni Unit nothing would give security to the productive classes in general, or tranquillity to the country, without" a Wages ProteCtion Bill," and in looking for that there would be none of the principles of free trade violated, nor any thing that could alarm the most ardent theorist. Neither do they look for legislative or magisterial interference, as to the wages of labour, all they required would be a short Bill to make valid and binding upon the whole of the manufacturers and journeymen of any district, any contract or agreement entered into by a neijoritv of them, and that the same 'should continue until removed by another similar and subsequent agreement. RoacaT NOQuaT said be thought the operative claim's were entitled to protection. The Aristocracy, the Commons; the landed and funded interests, were all protected, eed *pone but the weakest of all were left unprotected. If the NI 414 - ter said to them (the mechanics), you shall have a Parlia ment reformed to your own liking—you shall hara hpunge drawn over the national debt, and a repeal of the coelftlaws. . —then indeed might he with safety rely on a co-operation of the productive classes. But it appeared to hiet the object was to starve them into madne s s, an d drive them veto acts of desperation and folly, and then instruct the Archbishop of Canterbury to beseech Heaves to avert then calamities which they themselves had brought on the country. He defied the world to produce such a class of men as English mechanics. On what part of the ocean, or in what embat tled tied, where man met man, arm to arm, and knee to knee, did they not prove themselves the breve:at of the brave And he would ask, was not their skill and industry at hoine only to be equalled by their bravery abtoad ! Did they not produce every thing that could give contentment, ease, and luxury, to their more fortunate fellow countrymen ? Anti was it too much to ask in return a very small part Of their own earnings ? He concluded by itiOnpelehilinF the ap pointment of a Committee to prepare a petition to the lefits lature, praying for a " Wages Protection Bill," which • pe tition should be submitted for approval to a general call of the trade. Mr. King read the draft of a very pointed petition which he had prepared, and intended to submit to a general meeting. After much discussion the appointment of a Committee was adjourned. Thanks having been voted to the Chairman, the meeting separated. D ISCOVERY OF A DEAD CHILD IN SROOTER'RaILL WOOD.
