They agreed to go to Ireland together ; and it was remarked on their passage, that Caulfield spoke contemptuously, and often said, it was a pity such a puny fellow as Hickey should have money, and he himself be with out a shilling. They landed at Waterford, at which place they stayed some days, Caulfield being all the time sup ported by Hickey, who bought there sonic clothes for him. The Auizes being held in the town during that time, it was afterwards recollected that they were both at the Court house, and attended the whole of a trial of a shoemaker, who was convicted of the murder of his wife. But this made no impression on the hardened mind of Caul field ; for the very next day he perpetrated the same crime on the road between 'Waterford and Carrick-on-Suir, near which town Hickey's relations lived. He went to the gallows with a firm step and undaunted countenance. He spoke to the multitude who surrounded him ; and, in the course of his address, mentioned that he had been bred at a charter-school, from which he was taken, as an apprenticed servant, by 'William Izod, Esq. •of the county of Kilkenny. From this station he ran away on being corrected for some faults, and had been absent from Ireland six years. He confessed also, that he bail several times intended to murder Hickey on the road between Wa terford and Portlaw; which, though in general not a road much frequented, yet people at that time continu a lly c om i ng in sight, prevented him. Being frustrated in all his schemes, the sudden and total disappointment threw him, probably, into an in differentia for life. Some tempers are so stubborn and rugged, that nothing can affect them hut immediate sens ation. If to this be united the darkest ignorance, death, to such characters, will hardly seem terrible, because they can form no conception of what it is, and still less of the consequences that may follow .—C en t .

(in Thursday night, at abotarter before twelve o'clock, the vmrkshops belonging M and situated immediately behind the elegant upholstery warehouses of Messrs. Robertson, Reid, and Brothers, Argvll-atreet, were discovered to be on tree. The alarm was iassently giver. ; but the shops having in them a considerable store of aeationed timber • the fire increased rapidly, and even pene trated throttgle the roofs of the houses. By the time the engines got to the spot. all hope of preserving the befitting% where the fire originated bed completely vanished, and every effbet was in consequence directed to save the adjoining building!, which sue raunded there on every side. The warkahope, consisting of three stories, were entirely destroyed, and a neighbouring land of the same height was also pertly consumed. In one building adjela ing there was a considerable quantity of oil and pitch ; in lino• thee turpentine, which were, however, got out, or had the flames reached the articles in question, their fors , would have been pro digiously increased. The wine and spirit cellars of Mesita. Roes, Corbett, and Co. were partially on fire. The scene was *Mk, and the alarm and confusion great. Messrs. Ross, Corbett., and Co.'s eerier% were emptied, and some of the casks in the hurry staved, while the liquor ran in streams down the gutters. The elegant furniture in Messrs. Reids' warehouse was thrown out of windows aod in many instances dashed to pier**. The City Celia office was also emptied, and the books carried to a place of safety ; and, at the same time, the families in the buildings ad joining were actively engaged carrying out their furniture to places of safety. Among those who were must active, we per ' ceived Lord lielbume carrying pails of water, and completely drenched in his labours; James Oswald, Bsq. ; Haillie Craigie; our present Superintendent. Mr. Graham • end our old f.uperin teneant of Polies.. Mr. Hardie; anti Mr. John Smith, jun. t.'oei missioner for the Ward. Detachments of cavalry and infantry ap peared, sad were of the greatest service in preserving order and protecting property. Colonel Hastings was present during the whole time. Considering every circumstrnce—considering that the premises were adjoining to, and surrounded on all aides by lofty and valued buildings, it is both fortunate and surprising that the mischief done was not much more extensive. At the time the fire was raging with the greater* violence it was nearly calm, but had ti: breeze from the northward been at that lime as strong as it be come toward+ the morning, all the valuable buildings on every hand must have fallen a prey to the flame*. The property in the extensive upholstery warehouse has been saved, but very much damaged, In some instances rendered useless, while the value of that totally destroyed in the shops is considerable. The whole premises, however, were, we believe, insured. The blaze, more especially . when the roof fell in, was tremendous—flaming up like a volellut in Its greatest fury and strength. -( Thursday morning. afire, that had first an alarming appear ;mac broke oat in a starching work In (forbids, but by the speedy snivel of the local engines, it was soon got under, without material damage having been done. We regret to state, that investigation has left no doubt remaining that this fire was the work of some in. cendisry, instigated by that savage spirit which, we perceive, in so many instances celled forth by the combinations which now agitate and alarm the country. The inmates were employed by a respectable house, against which the cotnbinators in their line bore and which they were determined to harass by frightening workmen Irma engaging with theta. Repeated threatening letters were received, but thrown past as undeserving notice. .A few days ago a third (of which we subjoin a copy), written in a disguised hand, was received by the party against whom their vengeance was directed, and the attempt was made on Thnrsday mo-ning to carry their diabolical object into execution. It is trulyfrirdnhl and alarming to find a spirit like this taking root, spreading and attempting to put its inteutices into execution amongst us. I , l'e hope the wretch or wretches milky of such atrocities, will be dragged to light and punished in the ielpereet wanner.

It is at once commodious and central. The Bar, for whom benches have been placed, are to enter from Ormond-quay, while the public entrance will be from Strand-street. Yestetday two stoves were tilted up, so that we imagine the Commis goners will almost immediately remove from the old Court, Ilfack-lane.—Dohlin Paper. A daring burglary was effected, late on Sunday night or early yesterday morning., by some notorious villains , in the dwelling hates of Mr. Snell, landlord of the White Swan public house, Old Gravel.laue, St. George's in the East. The robbers succeeded in carrying off from the premises the following articles of plate and specie :--Nine silver tea spoons, marked .1. M. S. one silver milk jug, marked the same, three large table spoons, and ooe pair of silver sugar tongs, about 30s. of silver com, and 81. in ' topper. done up in frs. parcels. The entrance into the premises was effected by a bock window. The burglars left behind them a small cruw.bar. which appears front brightnesss to have bum much kiwi, and some other implements of housebreuking. THE BRITISH PRESS. THE SCOTCH COLLIERS' CONFEDERATION Our readers will be gratified to bear of new instances in which the public spirited and independent coal proprietors of this county have successfully resisted die operations of the colliers' combination. Lord Belhaven's colliers, insti gated by the leaden of the association, about a fortnight ago made a demand for a further rise in the rate of digging coal. His Lordship at once dismissed the whole of them, moil in two days supplied their places with other wurkmen. The new hands are coming on remarkably well ; and there is a large stock of coals on hand. One of the new coal pits is within too yards of the distillery. There are seams equal altogether to 20 feet of working coal of the hest quality. The distillery alone consumer 440 tons a month. The houses that are finishing for the new workmen are very neat and comfortable. They are each 10 feet by 16 ; and have two fixed beds. There is a small garden attached to each house. On the Dalzell Estate, the colliers have drawn down upon themselves the same result. The refrac tory workmen have been turned off, and new hands em ployed in their room. The leaders of the colliers employed by the Muirkirk Iron Company, though they were fully as highly paid as any in Ayrshire, demanded an advance of nearly one-fourth, and not only refused to work themselves, but prevented' others from working by secreting the tools. Mr. Ewing, of Glasgow, immediately went up to the works and discharged every one of the colliers, and supplied their places with new workmen. If the refractory colliers had succeeded in enhancing their wages, the out-put would have been pro portionably lessened. The new aforkinen (whose introduction into the pits on the banks of the Avon was formerly mentioned) are suc ceeding so well, as to gain 30s. a week. They are able to put out twelve tons, for which they are paid 2s. 641. a tote. Numerous applications are making from public works in the neighbourhood of Glasgow for a regular supply. The coal is sohl at the hill for 7s. a ton, and the carters drive it to Glasgow for Ts. 6(1. The lowest rate of wages earned by the collier, during the reduced state of things after the peace, was 3k. 9d. a day. Since the repeal of the combination laws, there have been eighty collieries combined in the west of Scotland. 'The delegates Mt% aloe a fortnight. Formerly each in dividual colliery settled any differences with their employ ers ; but after the repeal of the combination laws, the grand committee took upon themselves to settle all disputes. 'Their mandates were implicitly obeyed by the colliers. The wages were raised to as. Gil. a day ; but latterly the working price of coal in a number of pits has been raised to 4a. per ton; which, at two tons and a half per day, gives i los. to the colliers. There is no stock at present on any hill around Glasgow. Formerly, at this period of the year there were 100,000 tons of stock. The total consumption is between 500,000 and 600;000 tons a year. It is doubt ful, from the increased demand, and want of stock on the hills, that even were all the colliers to work she days in the week, they would be able to supply the deficiency occa sioned by their infatuated conduct. If this be a severe ' winter, there cannot fed to he a great deal of misery among the poor of this city and suburbs, flour the dearness off fuel, and much loss to the commercial interests of the dis trict. Those manufacturers whose operadene, are carried on by steam fear that their business will be suspended from want of coal. No coal-master could with safety engage to supply any public - work with beyond a week's consumption, because a mandate from the committee might throw his men idle, and, subject him to heavy damages, from the stoppage of the works which he might become bound to supply with coal. The present state of things cannot, and ought rot, Mist much longer. A correspodent proposes, as one efficient way of breaking up combinations, that Parlia ment should render all meetings of delegates illegal; to prohibit the choosing of permanent presidents, secretaries, and treasurers; to.prohibit one ehiss of workmen from con- 1 tributing to the support of any other able-bodied class who remain - in idleness; or of the idle and able-bodied to re. nits inch contributions, and to forfeit all monies so to he aaseased or eoniributed. Thaw measurer might he carried ' without infringing on the privileges of friendly societies. Each individual would then, in good times, be able to lay by a fund for himself, instead of squandering it on the misleading trumpery who direct the combinations. We cheerfully give this opinion of our respected correspondent, but we think that the prnprietors are perfectly able, by the employment of labourers, to extinguish the combination. The example set by the Puke of Hamilton, already fol. lowed by the leading coal proprietors, only requires to be universally adopted aryl persevered in, to restore a free trade in coal. t s:,) Thefattefetke dbmbined colliers at Calder coal works hots matte Wepest itnpression in that neighbourhood. 'the Wren who stia continued working in some of the pits, havii.;solontarily renounced all connexion with the association, Mkt work five full days in the week. There were so many labourers flocking forward, that they saw their case was hopeless, as their places would have been instantly filled. The new colliers have now attained such expertness, that those not already on piece-work are to be put upon it immediately, as they can now earn much more than three shillings a day, which was granted them till they had learned. The new hands are well-behaved and industrious, and the manager says there is now a happy change from the derangement into which the basil-on during the year had been kept by the operation of the combination. There is now a stock of coil and iron stone on hand equal to six inonths consumption, so that that quarter is quite beyond the reach of t h e combination. The colliers' combination in Fife has been even mare formidable, and the leaders more daring than in this neighbourhood. The colliers employed by Sir Philip Durham and other proprietors have repeatedly struck, and there has been a great scarcity and dearth of coal in the boroughs of Montrose, Breslin, and Aberdeen. Hence probably the rejection of the plate. Agit is, Mr. Hume's reception among his constituents, says a correspondent, would be but cool. To show the omnipotence affected by this besotted com bination, we may mention an attempt which some of the members made to stop the sailing of a vessel at Saltcoats laden with coal for Glasgow. They insisted that the master should not proceed with the cargo, lest it should injure the interests of their brethren on the banks of the Clyde. The shipmaster very calmly put his helm alee, and steered direct for the Clyde with the coals. There is a company forming in Glasgow for the working of coal. The cap'tal to be 50,000/. Engineers have been employed to survey coal fields around Glasgow. The colliers' combination, by the determination of the leading coal proprietors, may be considered as fairly knocked on the head ; but from the want of stpcks on the hill, prices may for some time longer keep up. To a mo ral certainty, from the number of new pits opening, and nevi' hands daily engaged, the price of coal and the rate of wart will next spring be reduced to their proper level. Many of the combined colliersimend their Frog time of kitchen in drinking and playing at cards. They setm to have no idea of availing themselves of the oppintunity to gain knowledge of any sort. • It is stated by Dr. tire, that " the disorders which have lately appeared in some manufacturing, districts, cannot with any truth be referred to the schools of physical science. It is consistent with my knowledge and ex perience that the combined operatives who have, unhap pity for themselves, sought to gain their ends by intimi dation and outrage, are precisely those who never attended the mechanic class of Anderson s Institution." We are also iiii.oraiiest ~that in consequent!, of some writers attempting to comma .tbe (hustlers among the operatives with Mechanics' Institutionv, application wag made to the President of that body in Glasgow, who re turned an /1111iVer similar in substance to the above state ment of Dr. Ure.-01aagoto Gitronicle ..gasgolD _ _ M.

MASTER SHOEMAKERS. A general meeting of the master shoemakers was held pd. terday evening at the Crows and Anchor Tavern, to conindeg. the propriety of forming a agilit s for their mutual advantage PR protection. • Mr. SKINNER. having bail eafi e i to the chair, stated, HIP the object of the intended Society wan to counteract the combinations . of the journeymen shoemakers who hod lately, in many instances, pro •euled to a direct violation of their meters' rights. There was Parcel, as employer in London who had not experienced the' 111 effects of such violence, and who was not compelled to sub mit to the arbltrery dicta and the unreasonable demands of his men. By the formation of' an Union or Society a m on g st t h e masters, they would necessarily take into their hands the control and direction of their own trade ; and if tbey followed up their present resolution, avid acted on it with honour, honesty, and inde pendence, he was persuaded that good must result. At present the men were perfect despots. It was usual for them to make such lame us pleated themselves, afterwards to bring them to their masters, not to request their concurrence, but to demand their acquiescence in than; and woe betide antic who had the boldness to say "no" to this insolent request—leis shop was closed, his house beset, his trade gone, and 'veto:any he was compelled to give in. A great anathy had hitherto prevailed amongst the mestere. Of this their men were aware. They saw that the masters were not united, and they made their disunion a stepping_ stone to the attainment of their unjustifiable exactions. They also took advantage of particular seasoos, when work was most required; and it has not unusually happened that he who gave the highest wages was made the victim of combination, and so cruelly treated as to terrify others into submission to measures however ruinous to themselves and their families. Nay, the men even dictated to the masters whom they should employ; and a itanding order of theirs was, to punish any person who gave work but to those of the Union, or the " legitimates," as they styled themselves. it was not the wish of those who conducted thetpresent meeting that the new Society should arrogate to itself power and authority for the purpose of oppression; their only de sire tru, that they should protect themselves and prevent their being dragooned into obedience. Mr. Hlc Katt"; proposed the first and second Resolutions, which were to the effect, that as the men mi g ht, an d did comtine together, and pass laws for the regulation of their trade, it wu highly expe dient and necessary that the masters should unite to consider the propriety of any proceedings the men might adopt, and to counter act whatever might appear unjust and improper, and that a society be now formed, called the " London Master Shoemakers' Society," for the purposes of mutual protection and advantage, upon the powerful principle of co.operetiote and that the said ;meaty meet on the second NVedneaday of every month. He said he had fre quently heard objections made to the formation of such societies as the present, it was said by many to be impossible to form a per manent union of the master shoemakers, fur that experience had proved that it was . no sooner formed than broken up—that they hail hitherto been filthiest to themselves, and that their societies were mate abortions. The fact was otherwise; up to the present moment no such attempt as the present was ever mode; it would have been illegal in them to do so ; it would base been a violation of the law to reenter* the amount of wages ; it would have been as illegal in the masters as it was in the men. If they had ever met for such a purpose, the real object was always kept in the back ground out of view, as they had no right to meet for the avowed object of coun. teraeting the combination ofehe men. Now, however, the masters might assemble, now they might make laws to regulate their trade. In answer to some who still had doubts on that head, it must be enough to say that thmlate act repeals all the former ones, and em bodies them; indeed all the existing laws, with regard to combina tions, were contained in threerlauseri of that act, and were in them. selves most concise and simple. The fifth section applied immedi ately to the present society--it provided that masters might meet and combine to regulate the rate of wages which they would pay—such regulations being confined to those present at such meeting, and not intended to bind others. Define the passing of the last Act, the men constantly fixed the lowest wagesthey were to take, whilst the masters dared not fix on those which they could give; theformer, when they committed acrime against the existing laws tnight walk off andehus escape, whilst the latter, on theotlter hand, were always robe found—lie thought the principle of combination good—on it society was formed. It was most reasonable that men should combine for their mutual advantage—it was meet that they should study their own interest, *kb, however, this restriction, that they were not to con spire to injure other*. (Applause.) Let men agree not-to work under a certain price, provided they did not force others into the same determination-a-and let musters resolve not to give more than a particular mice, if they did Sot compel othem to Iwo a coalition • with them. (Hear, hear.) They were then about to meet the men en equal teems; a bode ef poems Comber:l was always powerful to work either Foal or hares, and potter was dangerous' when not governed by justice, or directed by prudence. In the present instance the men bed etitelapped Ale bounds of both. To if lostrete the mischiefs of swab combireitiona, he begged to re mind them of theteiendutt of the shipwrights, who demanded more for their taboo" than the Mite Of OS, trade admitted ; the come.' quenee was, that I:nilhiit vateals,were taken to forego porta sn be.' repaired. He knee two inspects in which the cements of West Indenter had take* their iMpw to Russia fot etch * purpose, to the manifest injury of this country. Indeed examples of the sante ill effects might be drawn from 0104 ow wade ; for instance, the women shomUiskeeareeeleAdliiiebee Wages thirty or forty purl back than they did then. Some tme back they struck f or an i ncrease , which they did not get; they refuted to work, seriously injured their masters, and were the means of establishing a race of babes dashers who have completely ruined the trade; indeed it has never 'since rallied. It was absolutely necessary that the masters combine, in order to control, the reeoletkins of the men, which otherwise .would acquire an irresistible Raise. Let , the men have a fair remuneration; at present he wee sorry to' say they bad not as tinny of the comforts of life ts men wortillg go hard might to have (applause), still there was a point beyond which, if the th en pushed, they m os t Inj u r e themselves and their trade. Our trade(said Mr. flickaon) must always depend on that of other countries. At present, South America opened a tine field for our manufactures ; but Is it possible that if South America has to give us 20s. for a pair atoms whkh Russia can famish for los., that the latter country must not get the preference ? Indeed one of the Captains of whom I spoke before, told me that he bought in Russia as malty boots as would last him for two year. for half what he should give for them in England. If, then, Wallis furnish boots, and lia n a shoes, far halt what we can afford to sell them, how is it to be expected that we can compete with them in foreign markets ? In fact as long as the present restrictions are placed on trails, it must droop ; let them be but once removed, and Britith skill and British industry must triumph all over the worts, (Att. gigue.) The bee proceedings of` our Government, I think, bold out the promise and encourage the hope of such a happy consum mation—wages must always be measured by other circumatances ; they must invariably be connected with the circumstances in which the operative lives ; they must depend in a great degree upon the mice of provisions. Let us, for instance, take a trunk of shoes to North or South America, and barter them for a large quantity of flour or corn, then we could live for lees than we can now, and consequently less wages will be required. He was happy to in. form the meeting that a deputation had been to-night sent by the workman to the Committee, and his sincere wish was that both might come to a gaud understanding. It was ne cessary that the society should have a Conned and Soli citor, but he trusted they would never be called on to pro secute; and if they had not occasion for harsh measures, he would feel meat happy in seeing them meet for benevolent purposes, such as to assist men in distress ; and if there were no (Mice, for such conicnisemtiun, let then institute rewards for the most me ritorious of their men, or employ themselves in the improvement of their trade. (Applause) One great object of the Society was to assist and master who +Mould suffer from combination, to sup ply him with work and goods, so as to defeat the machinations of the evil-disposed workmen. Another, and an important object was, to facilitate the detection of such persons at might be guilty of purloining their employers' property ; and also to protect each other from swintliers and bad customers. In conclusion, be trusted they would support the Society, and become members before they left the room. He hoped they would feel determined . to be true to the last : that as they proceeded they would teat warm, and that the thread of their union would ultimately be ex tended through England. (Applause.) The resolutions were then put and carried ; as were several others which related to the formation of the Society. In answer to a question put to bin, Mr. HICKSON said that if he thought the masters intended to confine their men to grinding wages, he for one would join the men. (A pplaese. ) A vote of thanks was then paned to the Chairman, nod the Meeting separated. SPORTING INTz'LLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY, Nov. 14.
