FRENCR NA VA L OPERATIONS DURING TEE LATE WAR. (From the .Moviteur.) Report of Vice-Admiral Romain Dosfosses, sena- tor; commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean squa dron, to hia Excellency the Minister of Marine : On board the Bretagne, Lossini Piccolo, July 23. Monsieur l'Amiral—llonoured by the confidence of the' Emperor with the command-•in-chief of the naval forces of the Mediterranean, I have to give an account to your excellency of the distribution and the use which I had to make of them, accord ing to the terms of your instructions, at the time when their special mission was to second in the Adriatic Sea the great operations of his Maj;!sty's army. _ . _ These naval forces comprised ten ships of the line and four screw frigates ; two of these ships and two frigates were already detached under the spe cial command of Rear-Admiral Jurien de la. Gra viere in order to insure the effective blockade of Venice. Your excellency had ordered me to leave four vessels and two frigates in reserve at Toulon, under the orders of Rear-Admiral Jehenne ; it was then, with four vessels, including the Bretagne, which carries my flag, that I had to proceed to the Gulf of Venice, and there collect the various elements of the expeditionary fleet. The most important of those elements, if regard be had to the nature of the waters in which we had to carry on operations, was a new squadron, re cently. constituted hy his Majesty's orders, which, as a siege squadron, completed with five despatch boats and six screw transports, the whole of the naval forces placed under my command. The siege squadron was confided to the skilful direction of Rear-Admiral Count Bouet Willaumez, who arrived at Toulon on June 1, to accelerate the fitting out of the ships destined to form part of it. It was composed of four paddle-wheel frigates and 25 floating batteries and gunboats, for the most part of small draught of water, .protected by iron on the beam or on the bow ; in fact, admirably adapted for dismantling fortifications. The paddle-wheel frigates and the floating bat teries were armed so rapidly that, after the 12th, Rear-Admiral Bonet Willaumez was able to set out for the Adriatic with that first and heavy division of the siege squadron. After a forced delay of three days at Messina to take in fresh coal, he reached on the 11th day the Bay of Antivari, which your excellency had pointed out to me as the place of general rendezvous for the expeditionary fleet. In order to hasten as much as possible the moment of assembling, I determined to tow each group of gunboats, as they should be got ready, with one of my four vessels. The Arcole left on the 15th with six of these little vessels. On the 18th,at daybreak, the Alex andre followed with six other gunboats in tow, and on the evening of the same day I quitted Toulon with the Bretagne and two despatch boats, drawing after us our last ten gunboats, and leaving at Tou lon the ship Redoubtable, which three days after wards was to conduct the last group of the fleet, I composed of two transports, laden with munitions of war, and two Tuscan gunboats. On June 30, all these forces, after some difficulties of navigation, which being matters of merely nautical interest need I not be enumerated to your excellency, Were collected ' at Antivari, where they took in fresh supplies of coal, by means of numerous commercial transports which you had previously directed under escort towards that port. I was there reinforced in the evening by a Sardinian naval division, composed of two screw frigates and three corvettes and despatch boats. This division, command by Captain Tholo zano, was immediately ranged under my orders. From the evening of the 30th to middle day of July 1, the whole fleet left Antivari by divisions, as it had arrived there ; but the first of these groups which I conducted, and which I directed with all possible speed towards the island of Lossini, which I had instructions to take, was composed, with a view to resistance to be overcome, in the following manner :—The ships La Bretagne and Le Redoubt able, the frigates Le Mogador (Rear Admiral Bouet Willaumez), and L'lsly ; the Sardinian frigate Vietor Emmanuel ; eighty gunlytats r und a floating battery. The island of Lossini, situated at the en trance of the Archipelago of Quarnero, is a central point between Venice, Trieste, Pola, Fiume, and Zara, which are the principal maritime establish ments 'of' Austria on the seaboards of Venetia, Illyria, Istria, Hungary, and Dalmatia. The possession of this island was of extreme im portance for us, and would ensure us an excellent basis of operations. The enemy could not fail to comprehend this, and we thought consequently that he would seek to offer us a resistance which we, on our part, were in a position to overcome. There was no resistance, and whether from fear of letting us take the garrison prisoners, or rather from their inability to defend themselves along the whole line of coast threatened by the allied fleet, the Austrians had. completely abandoned to itself the numerous population of Lossini, and disarmed the towers of Maximilian which command the town and port of Augusto. After having substituted the French and Piedmontese colours for those of the Austrians on the town and towers of Lossini Piccolo, I informed the inhabitants that I should treat them as fellow countrymen, if on their part they assisted us with all their resources. I was understood by this essen tially pacific and commercial people; therefore I deemed it proper not to use the right I had of confiscating the fourteen or fifteen merchant vessels in the harbour after I had ascertained that they were really the property of the inhabitants of the island. Then began the preparations for the attack on the coasts of Venetia. The floating batteries re ceived the complement of their artillery, and were completely dismasted that they might be less vul nerable to the shots of the enemy ; the gunborts were treated in the same way. Both of them, directed by Rear-Admiral Bouet-Willaumez and Post-Captain de la Ronciere le Noury, repaired to a neighbouring bay for practising with the guns, which these vessele, armed in all haste, and manned for the , rest with excellent sea rated as gunners, had not yet been able properly to do. The Commander Bourgois, of the Mogador, made at the same time successfully several trials of some powerful submarine bombs for blowing up stockades prepared in imitation of those that had barred the entrances of the three ports of Venice, viz., those of Cnioggia, Malamocco, and Lido. Three days had hardly sufficed for enabling us to establish ourselves at Lossini, the defence of which I confided to 400 seamen and 400 marines under the superior command of Captain Duvau roux, an energetic, accomplished, and vigilant offi cer. Storehouses hired in the town were filled with our supplies of provisions and coal ; stills for distilling fresh water from the sea were placed on the beach ; lastly a hospital of 120 beds, established with the aid of our own resources on shore, re ceived the sick from the vessels of the flotilla, whilst we fitted up one of the mixed transports to the fleet as a receptable for the wounded on the day of action. t d the batteries Whilst a part of our indefatigable sailors were performi ng th ese wor k s so urgen tl y nee d e d un d er s the ener ge ti c an d ac ti ve di rec ti on o f R ear -Ad m i ra l gu s t Chopart, my secon d i n co mm an d, t h e ot h ers were coaelainhge vessels, u andnr g smallgin g and nb d o i a in s a s a t nd i n g w the ere h endeavouri ng to mount on the captured tra b accoli those morta rs o f 0 . 32 centimetres ith which your excellency supplied me before my departure from Toulon. On tie 6th of July two large mixed transports arrived at Lossini, bringing me at the most oppor tune moment 3,000 foot soldiers of the lint?, who !ormed part of the troops ordered by the Emperor to join the expedition. I immediately distributed them among the vessels, and learned at the same time that Lieut.-General de Wimpffen was coming by his Majesty's orders to take the command of the landing troops. On the 7th a despatch boat, which I had sent to Rimini with a telegraphic despatch in which I gave an account to your Excelleney of the taking of Los sini, and asked for the Emperor's orders, as I had been enjoined to do before leaving Toulon, returned to Port Augusto, bringing a despatch that was waiting there for the arrival of the squadron, and i n w hich the Emperor ordered me to attack the outer defences of Venice. The fleet was ready; I fixed the departure for the next morning, July 8, only leaving two Tuscan gunboats at the disposal of the superior com mandant, that they might co-operate in protecting our establishment. The combined attack of the fleet and expedi tionary corps was to take place on the 10th of July, and I informed your Excellency of it on the 7th by the telegraph from Rimini. No one doubted its success. On the Bth of June, at break of day, the fleet was under steam and left Lossini, when the Eylau hove in sight, having been despatched the previous evening by Rear-Admiral Ju r i en t o b r i ng me a letter from the Governor-General of Venetia, and a despatch from Verona, in which General Fleury, the Emperor's aide-de-camp, in a unounciug to me that an armistice had been just signed, ordered me on the part of his Majesty to suspend all hostilities. A moment after a despatch boat bearing a flag of truce, sent from Zara, came Tip with me, and its captain handed me a note in v shish the Governor- General of Dalmatia also informed me of the ar mistice. • This unforeseen event did •not change our ar rangements for departure, and I even thought that the presence of a large fleet off Venice would con fer on the suspension of arms a new and great im portance: Having taken the sailing• vessels in tow we pro ceeded therefore to the Venetian shores and on the following day at dawn the. whole fleet, consisting of 45 ships of war of all rates, came to anchor in five lines parallel to the coast, in sight of the cupolas of St. Mark, and of the people, who at this solemn moment were in a state of extreme agitation. I immediately sent an officer with a flag of truce to Malamocco to convey a letter, in which I in formed the field-marshal that I suspended all hos tilities. I asked him at the same time to give me a safe conduct for an officer whom I wished to send to the Emperor's head-quarters, by the railway from Venice to Verona. I was answered that the request should be referred to his apostolic Majesty himself. On the morning of the 10th a despatch-boat bearing the flag of truce came alongside of the Bretagne, and placed itself at my disposal for 'con veying the officer whom I had asked leave to send to the Emperor. My first aide-de-camp, Captain Fdullioy, went on board, the bearer of a report in which I gave a summary account to his Majesty of the situation of the fleet, of what it had done up to that time, and of what it was ready to undertake at the first signal given to it. My aide-de-camp returned on the morning of the 12th. He had been accompanied , during his jour ney through the enemy's army by some Austrian officers, and treated with extreme courtesy. On reaching the French head-quarters at Valeggio, he had the honour of beir g received on the morning of the 11th by the Emperor, who deigned to ques tion him at length about the fleet and its means of action. His Majesty had the goodness to consign to hini for me the following autograph letter : " Valeggio, July 11,1859. " My dear Admiral,—A suspension of arms is concluded until the 15th of August; I beg you therefore to send back to Lossini all the vessels not wanted at sea. " Should peace not be made, I depend upon the energy of the fleet and the skill of its chief for co-operating with the land army towards the end I hay proposed to myself to attain. " Employ the time until the 15th of August in exercising the crews, in making reconnaissances along all the coasts, and in endeavouring to obtain information respecting the enemy's weak points. " Receive the assurance of my friendship. " NAPOLEON." I end here, Monsieur l'Amiral ; the rest is known to your Excellency. You know that self denial is a necessary and essential virtue in our pro fession ; the seamen of the Adriatic fleet, disap pointed of seeing their great efforts of activity crowned by an honourable share in the army's glorious labours, are nevertheless ready to rejoice at triumphs in which it has not been granted them to co-operate with arms in their hands, and to unite in the joy as well as gratitude of the country.* I beg your Excellency to accept the homage of my profound respect.

THE NA The Russian screw frigate Swetland, carrying 60 guns (8-inch), with his Royal Highness the Grand Duke Constantine on board, anchored at the Motherbank, from Cronstadt, on Saturday evening. His Royal Highness afterwards landed at Hyde, and was received by his Excellency Baron Brunow, the Russian Ambassador at the Court of St. James. Mr. Vice-Consul Baker was in attendance on board on the arrival of the Swetland, and, in obedienceto commands received, waited on his Royal Highness at the Pier Hotel, Ryde, yesterday. On the fri gates's passing through Spithead no salutes were exchanged, his Royal Highness having assumed the private title of Admiral Romanoff. Ye3terday morning the Swetland exchanged the usual com piimentary salutes with the Victory, flagship of the Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, the garrison saluting battery, &c. On Thursday the three Rus sian ships at Spithead, under the command of Rear- Admiral Istomin, will leave for the Mediterranean, and by that time will be replaced by a steam squa dron of six sail from the Baltic. The officers have made their head-quarters on shore at the Star and Garter Hotel, Portsmouth, adjoining the Russian Vice-Consulate. The Neptune, 91, screw, Capt. Sir W. Hoste, had her crew paid advance of wages at Spithead on Thursday, and sailed for Portland early on Satur day morning. The hired freightship Poictiers arrived at Spit head yesterday from the Thames. She will embark there for Ceylon 4 officers, 111 men, 13 women, and 9 children of the 50th Regiment. The Victoria and Albert, Royal yacht, steamed into Portsmouth harbour, from Cowes, yesterday morning. She will leave again for her moorings in Cowes-roads this morning. Saturday being the birthday of his Royal High ness Prince Alfred, the customary Royal salute was fired at noon from the shipping in Portsmouth harbour and at Spithead, and also by the garrison. Her Majesty's ship Firefly sailed on Saturday from Woolwich for the Channel Islands on survey. The Vivid, H. W. Allen master, in charge, has re turned to Woolwich, having been engaged in the service of the Surveying Commissioners of the Admiralty. The Curagoa, 31, screw, will nil from Spithead to-day under sealed orders. The Dasher, paddle steam-vessel, Commander E. G. Hore, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday from the Channel Islands. The Dee. paddle steamer, Master-Commander Thomas C. Pullen, arrived at Portsmouth yester day, from the westward. The Rhadamanthus, paddle steamer, Master-Com mander Sturdee, arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, with machinery. The screw steam frigate Termagant, 25, Capt. R. Hall, went from Hamoaze, out the Breakwater, Plymouth, on Friday, fora short run, and returned to the Sound. The masts of the Calcutta, 84, having been re moved, she was warped back to the jetty at Devon port Dockyard on Saturday. The paddlewhe€l steamvessel Locust, 3, Lieut. J. B. Field commanding, fram Sheerness and Ports mouth, with supernumeraries for the Termagant, and men paid off from the Belleisle, arrived at Ply mouth yesterday. THE ARMY. An order has been received at the Aberdeen depot battalion for the depot of the 78th High landers, under the command of Capt. St. George, to move to Fort George on the 10th inst„ there to await the arrival of the regiment, which is ex pected from India about the middle of September, The depot at present numbers about 320 men, with the following officers :—Capt. St. George, com manding ; Capt. 1 ielden; Lieuts. Bindon, Thomp son, M'Neill, and Graham ; Ensigns Inglis, Sir A. Mackenzie, Murray, Davies, Williamson, Baillie, Richardson, Swanson, and Ingle. The 16th Regiment 'of Infantry embarked on board the Himalaya, at Kingstown, 011 Saturday morning for the north of England, having been re lieved in Dublin by the 22d Regiment, from Man chester. With the view of improving the sanitary condi tion of the troops at Chatham who are now under canvas, orders have been given to the authorities at that garrison to have the camp supplied with water from the waterworks. Pipes have accord; ingly been laid down to the Spur battery, where the troops belonging to the 2d battalion are en camped, and a bountiful supply of water is thus placed at the service of the men. In addition to the troops belonging to the 2d and. 3d battalions at Chatham who are now under can vas,: several tents have been pitched within the grounds of the several military hospitals, and these are occupied by upwards of 100 of the patients, it having been found that by placing the sick troops under canvas they are restored to health much more rapidly than when confined in the close hos pital wards. The coroner's jury recently assembled at Wool wich to inquire into the circumstances attending the death at the hospital of James Whitehead, the unfortunate gunner of Lieut.-Col. Michel's battery, Royal Artillery, have received an answer from Brigade-Major Shaw, informing them that their application requesting a military inquiry will be complied with. Ii appears by the evidence adduced at the inquest that the lock of the ward whence the lunatic effected his escape was damaged, and the order for its repair was in course of signature ; but that, in consequence of the circumlocution necessary for the performance of even the most trifling act, the lock remained perfectly useless, and the door was not secured. A carpenter is :constantly about the hospital, neve r th e l ess , any ac t, even th e driving a nail, cannot be performed by him without a re quisition first being made by the steward to the purve3-or, and from him in succession to the prin cipal medical officer, the barrack master, and the Royal Engineer. The consequence is considerable delay, which in this instance, as in many others, has proved of fatal consequences. If the lock of the guard ward had been secure the attending orderly, in the event of any violence or attempt to escape, could have obtained assistance in sufficient time by ringing a bell at hand, which the sudden escape of his charge prevented him from doing, and having another invalid in the same ward he was unable to follow. The whole of the building labourers and mechanies 'employed at Woolwich by the firms of Messrs. Lucas Brothers, Kirk and Parry, Myers and Co., Piper, Hicks, Smith, and others, on receiving their weekly pay on Saturday evening, were informed that their services would not be required until the firm of Messrs. Trollope and Co. commenced work. Conse quently the building establishments in the Royal Arsenal Dockyard, Marine Infirmary, &c., are at a standstill, and upwards of 3,000 men are for a time unemployed. The Northumberland Artillery Militia were in spected at Tynemouth Castle last week by Colonel Marryat. They were exercised in drill in the line and in artillery practice, chiefly in firing shot at a target placed in the sea at a distance of 600 yards. The men gave the greatest satisfaction to the in specting officer. The Tynemouth Volunteer Rifle and Artillery Corps, 'which have been enrolled by the Government, are now drilled twice a week by the officers and non-commissioned officers of the militia. The Bedford Militia will leave Aldershott camp for quarters at Weymouth, Portland, and March wood this day. THE NINE HOURS MOVEMENT. On Saturday, at 3 o'clock, the operatives of the building trades engaged at most of the large esta blishments in and immediately around the metro polis ceased work, and began to collect their tools previous to quitting their employment at 4 o'clock, the masters having intimated to the men that they should close their establishments this day unless the latter would pledge their word to belong to no trades union society, and the men, declining to give this undertaking, considered their engagement to be at an end, claiming for themselves that they have not struck against the masters, but that the masters have struck against them by insisting upon a pledge from every workman which has not hitherto been required of him. This they think may have some effect upon the interpretation to be given to what is known as the "strike clause" in contracts. The men carried out their proceedings, as far as we have been able to learn, in a cool, orderly, systematic, and evidently pre-arranged manner. There was no exhibition of feeling evinced on either side, but the simultaneous packing up of tools, and the few expressions which dropped from the men, plainly enough indicated their intention to hold out, and not to return to their labour this morning. It should be observed that, although this was the case at most 'of the large establishments, matters do not appear to have been pushed to this extremity at all of them. In the ordinary course of things, when master and man are working harmoniously together, and when the works are expected to pro ceed as usual upon a Monday morning, it is cus tomary on paying wages on a Saturday afternoon for the pay clerk to retain in his possession what is called the " back day's day." This is, in fact, one day's pay, which is kept in hand as a guarantee that the men shall not break faith and leave their employers suddenly, but that they shall return to their labour on the following Monday. It is pre sumed, therefore, that at those establishments where on Saturday last the back day's pay.was retained work will be resumed to-day as usual. Nothing will be said on either side about the " document" or the " declaration," and the men will go on for the present working their ten hours as before, the only strike, as they allege, on their part for the nine hours at this time being at Messrs. Trollope's works. This is strictly correct; but the strike at Messrs. Trollope's is admitted to be only auxiliary to a ge neral movement for the nine hours in other direc tions. Those masters, on the other hand, who on Saturday paid up the arrears of "back day's pay," and who have posted about their establishments the notice agreed to by the Central Association, may be supposed to be resolute in their determina tion to close their doors until Messrs. Trollope's firm resume work, and then not to open them save to nim who will pledge their word that they are not members of any objectionable society. Among the firms who retained the "back day's pay" on Saturday, and who may be said to continue open, the following 43 were reported to the Confe rence of the Trades at the Paviors' Arms up to 12 o'clock on Saturday night : —S impson, Hooper, Glin ton, Elliott and Watney, Avery, Seth Smith, Orm son, Phillips, Cox, Westminster-bridge, Banton, Davis, Colins and Green, Cutler, Glinton, Booth, Hall, Piper (Stangate), Dawson, Willmott Dowl, Ayres, Bland and Glinton, Griggs, Murray and Son, Burton, Farmer, Field, Roper, Edwards, Bailey, Fish, Macey, Thomas, Clark, Spurgeon, Hill, Fin lay, Walker and Naves, Carter, Ellis, Walker (Strand), and Slaughter. Among those where the resolution to close is maintained, and where the "declaration" is insisted on, are the large and well-known establishments of G. Myers, T. Piper and Son, G. Smith (Gillingham street),. G. Smith (Warwick-street), Freeman, R. Ashby and Sons, J. and C. Rigby, T. Cubitt, W. Cubitt and Co., H. Faulkener, J. Jay, Jackson and Shaw, Nixon, Browne and Robinson, W. Moxon, Watts and Sons, Bowley Brothers, W. Hill, Lucas Brothers, S. S. Williams, J. Wilson, M. Patrick and Son, W. Jackson, McKelly, Wardle and Baker, Laurence and Sons, G. W. Heath, Gale, Poole, Rider, M'Lennan and Bird, Peto and Betts, W. Downs, Waller and Son, W. Norris, J. Jacob, J. Drew, White, T. Mills and Son, and E. B. Gammon. At Messrs. Piper and Son's the men were re quested to leave their tools and to meet Mr. T. Piper at noon to-day. To this they assented. Mr. Myers, on Saturday, sent to his men and intimated to them that if they had anything to communicate to him he would meet them at four o'clock, or that if they would appoint a deputation he would meet them at his office. To this the men replied that they had nothing to communicate. Mr. Myers had intimated his intention of closing his works on Monday, and that they took to be a notice to leave, on which they were going to act. At some other establishments it was predicted that a speedy re opening would take place, and the men were ad vised to leave their tools. Acting upon previous concert, however, they one and all refused to do so, and took leave of their employers, many in sorrow ful mood, no doubt, but still determined to hold out to the last, and to stand by the Nine Hours Move ment. ----- The master-builders have incurred censure from a good many quarters for having formed themselves into an association to resist the combination of the men, and it has been pointed out that really they lay themselves open very much in this respect to the charge that is brought against opera tives. "If the men are not to combine, (it is said) neither shall the masters. Let labour be free, and let trade arrangements be made between the individuals without reference to others." The mas ters' defence is precisely that which the men urge, viz., that if they do not combine they will be taken in detail, and thus defeated, and possibly ruined. Those who are acquainted with the building trade, however, must be aware that it is a singularly dis united body, and that nothing but extreme pres sure would every produce combination or commu nity of action among the master builders. This arises from the intenseamount of competition which i s peculiar to trades where works are undertaken by contract. The competition is of a doubl e nature. In the first place, there is that "general" competi tion which in a large community is common t 0 every trade, and then there is the " particular" competition which attaches to every individual transaction arising out of a When a wo r k o f an y system of tenderin g f or theconstructionmagnitude ofo be works. executed, specifications and plans are issued and t en d ers are invited; then, the respectability of the competitors being ascertained and guaranteed by sureties, the wo r k i s usua lly let to the contra c t or who has sent in the lowest ten der. From this it is argued that the circumstances brought the leading must have been n v g er fi y ur rms gnt o e fth w e h m ic e h tro c p o o u l l i d have brought hetoge ther, and induced them to enrol themselves in a central association within so short a time, for until the meeting of August 1 no such organisation was in contemplation. There has, indeed, been in exist ence for a quarter of a century a kind of club called the Builders' Society, the object of which, as set forth in thg Ist by-law, is " to promote friendly in- PRICE 4 D .

There is here, therefore, a sort of nucleus round which the memb?rs of the building trade can rally,• and on former occasions, when de mands have, been made by the men, special meetings of the' trade - have been called at the instance of this society to take those demands into considera tion. In August, 1853, for example, when the ma sons insisted upon areduction in the hours of labour a meeting of this nature took place, when the fol lowing resolution was passed : " That it is a matter of great regret that partial strikes are taking place, and thus that treat injustice is being done to individual tradesmen ; that o i.her • and better methods of determining such questions as the rate of wages and regu lation of employment may well be found, or it is to be feared that the employers will be forced into a combination in self-defence—a course greatly to be deprecated." Hence it appears that " a coMbination in self-de fence" is not a new idea on the pirt of the em ployers. The result of that movement of the men was an addition. of 6d. a-day to their wages all over the metropolis. They had succeeded six years before (in 1847) in carrying what Was called the " 4 o'clock" movement, by which they leave work ou Saturdys at 4 o'clok instead of half-past 5, assort other days. This was conceded without any reduc tion of wages, and amounted to a giving up, at the then rate of ss. a-day, of 9d. per week 'per man, or Where 1,000 men were employed, of £37 10s. per week. The pressure which has induced the master builders on the preSent oCcusion to form themselves into a central association is, first, the demand for a retitle- Han in the hours of labour from 10 to 9 without any diminution of wages ; second, the apprehension that these demands will increase as the intro. duction of machinery gains ground ; thirdly, that concession in this respect has reached its limits ; and, fourthly, that it is necessary, once and for all, to make a determined stand against the dictation of the trades unions. The trade regulations -in sisted upon by these unions . are. regarded by the masters as very vexatious, as impeding the progress and enhancing the cost of building,and as imposing an immediate tax. upon the builders and a prospec tive one upon the public. Some of these, as related to us, maybe enumerated. F or instance, if 'a fore man is not a Unionist, it is s a id th a t the men will strike against hire, and instances lie. recorded in which aggressions •have been "attempted upon non society foremen, which, it is to be, hoped, if they ever occurred, will never be repeated. Then the foreman, once enrolle , l, is bound to employ none but society men on his work. Again, they' direct that a bricklayer shall never put the trowel out of his right hand, the object being to limit the amount of work that he shall do in a given time. It is said, for example,that 1,000 bricks a day, can very well be laid by an*averafie workman; but the prac tice is not to lay above 400 or 500 in a day, the bricklayer, by keeping the trowel in his right hand, not being able to lay above one brick at a time in the interior of thick walls, when with both hands at disposal he could lay two at once. An instance is on record of 1,000 bricks being well and perma nently laid in an hour by a single workman. This was done for a wager nearly 50 years ago in the front of the old City of London Tavern, now the site of the Wesleyan Centenary-hall, and is a well authenticated fact. Again, the labourers have re cently adopted some arbitrary regulati ons , and they have determined that the numb er of bricks to be placed in a hod shall not exceed 12.; whereas a hod very well holds 16, and Laxton's Price-book autho ritatively and curtly states, " A hod . contains 20 bricks." Overtime also is objected to, by Which, as is argued, a man losei the benefit of his industry —and piecework is not permitted, by which he is deprived of the benefit of his skill. , These regulations the men say the 3have been driven to by the one necessity of upholding their order and distributing work among their whole body. Ma chinery, they contend, displaces manual labour ; the operative class is an increasing, not a diminishing one ; their societies do not generally provide for the relief of men out of work, and therefore they hold it to be their duty so to arrange if possible that all may be employed, which would not, they think, be the case if overtime, piecework, and other practices, which no doubt would greatly advantage both the master and the individual man, were allowed. They admit the truth of much that' is urged in favour of overtime and piecework ; but they hold the other consideration to be paramount, and many skilf'ui and industriously disposed artisans no doubt make no mean personal sacrifices' in obedience to it. Another element which in their view is entitled to weight in discussing the question of the hours of labour is the length of time often consumed in going to and from their work. They put the case thus : Suppose that a:firm. whose workshops and establish ments are in Bloomsbury accepts a contract to erect large works at Brompton. The workmen reside in the vicinity of the employers' permanent establigh ment at Bloomsbury, and an hour and a half will be occupied in walking to the scene of their labour. The same time, of course, is consumed in returning from it, so that three hours is thus added to their daily worlr It may be said that this can be avoided by taking lodgings near the works ; but obviously this, to a man with a family, involves expense and inconvenience, and he cannot be continually moving to the neighbourhood of every new contract which his employer accepts and sends him to work upon. The men persist in their assertion that the em ployers will not be able to get operatives from the provinces to supply the places of those who have been " locked out." The operatives have received letters from 80 provincial towns, including Man chester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Coventry, Oxford, 'Newcastle, 'Birkenhead, and Dumfries, expressing the determination of the trades to support the present moment. Sub scriptions have also begun to cone „in froth the country, and very considerable SYlanS lave been contributed by the hands of almost - every building firm in London. As these contributions flow in the spirits Of the men appear to revive proportionately. Subjoined is a copy of the check or file engage ment-book. The counterfoil is in this form:— " No.--. • " Dated, ----. " Initials of foreman or clerk, The body of the check is in these terms : "No. -, " I declared that I am not now, nor will I during the continuance of my engagement with you, become a member of or support any society which directly or indirectly inter feres with the arrangements of this or any other establish ment, or the hours or terms of labour, and that I recognise the right of employers and employed individually to make any trade engagements on which they may choose to agree . " Dated --- of 18—." . This is to be read over to the workmen who will pledge his word to abide by it, and the body of . the check is then handed to him, the counterfoil being kept by the foreman or clerk. The masters are not particularly wedded to this precise form, and if any arrangement more acceptable to the workmen can be suggested they will consent to it ; but it must be based upon the condition that the men do not belong to any such society as is above referred to. The men are ready for the present to work as before, provided that the " document" and the " declara soncsieest tion" be withdrawn ; but it must not be conce a l e d a u s l t e e r i s i o i t s • ob t j h e e c t extinction the nin e o hours fa All of the e h t e heir t m which impose objectionable trade regulations. THE JOURNEYMEN BAKERS' MOVEMENT.--Oli Saturday evening an extraordinary meeting of the dele gates of the various branches of the Associatien of Journeymen Bakers was held in the Pianoforte Makers' Hall, Castle-street East, Oxford-street. Mr. Blackmore was called to the chair, and the names. of the delegates having been called over, the rules for the government of the constitution of the associations, as agreed to at the meeting of the delegates held on the 30th of July, at the Royal Tent, Silver-street, were read and confirmed.
