Ten carpenters have been at work upon us three days plugging up our shot-holes. The heaviest shot we received weighed 561 b. Several balls were cut out of our second gig, which several officers, among whom was Commander Commerell, declare are Rus sian rifle balls. We shall have hotter work next time, as their forts are progressing in size and num ber fast. I was working the howitzer, and a ball carried away my watch and chain." J. Hawthorn, the diver at Devonport Dockyard, succeeded on Thursday in recovering a brass gun and a quantity of copper bolts from the wreck of the Captain hulk, burnt off the mast pond about 46 years since.

The majority of these boats are in the hands of Messrs. Green, Wigram, Scott Russell, and the Thames Ship Build ing Company, and the remainder are being con . - structed by smaller builders.

THE CONSERVATIVE FESTIVAL Al MAIDSTONE. No stronger testimony could be adducedin favour of Lord Derby's late attempt to conduct the affairs of this mighty empire than the fact that it enlisted the sympathies and commanded the respect of many high-minded statesmen, who do not generally fol low the lead of either party into which politicians are usually divided. The independent criticism of such men is sufficient to stamp the character of the intrigues by which that Administration was ejected from office, and the fact that the proceedings of Lord Palmerston and his allies are by them con demned speaks volumes. Thus the grand Conser vative festival given at Maidstone to commemorate the triumph of the Conservative candidates for West Kent, was presided over by Earl Stan hope, better known to the public as Lord Mahon. Distinguished both as a statesman and historian, the noble earl has never figured promi nently in mere party warfare. Our readers will re member that lie was appointed his literary executor by the late Sir Robert Peel. Upon his accession to the peerage a few years since he was not a member of the House of Commons, and in the debates in the new sphere on which he then entered we do not find him enlisted strongly on either side. Yet the noble earl has always stood well with the pub lic, and his " History of England from 1713 to 1783" bears away the palm from all others by its strict impartiality. That such an independent po litician should deem it his duty to assume a more decided attitude, and to preside at a banquet in tended to commemorate a victory gained over the Liberal candidates, shows that a period has ar rived when even peace-loving and moderate men cannot remain silent. It would be a breach of duty for them in such a crisis to keep aloof from the struggle, and their example must have the effect of exciting general enthusiasm in the good cause. The duty devolved upon Earl Stanhope, as chair man at the banquet, to propose the toast of the evening, " Success to the Conservative Cause in West Kent," and in the execution of this pleasing task the noble earl stated the reasons that had induced him to assume a more decided attitude in political matters. Earl Stanhope explained that for the last few years he felt it his duty to " abstain from taking part in any party celebration," and that even on taking his seat in the House of Lords, he did not " seek to connect himself anew with any political party. He was content, as an individual peer, to consider measures as they came before him, and he decided on them as his conscience might de termine." The factious tactics of members of the " great Liberal party" induced him to relinquish this neutrality. When the adverse vote against the late Government was obtained by a coali tion between discordant sections several persons thought fit to refer to Lord Stanhope's judgment and counsel as to the course which they ought to pursue. The struggle had assumed such a character that neutrality became impossible. Earl Stanhope felt that Lord Derby and his associates had been unjustly treated, and he did not lack the manliness to give expression to that opinion. This, naturally enough, brought the noble earl forward more prominently ; and he explained that " it did appear to him, that, taken as a whole, tie Govern ment of Lord Derby was entitled to support. The foreign affairs of the country had been conducted in accordance with the just requirements of the honour of the iiption, and with an unremitting anxiety for the preservation of peace, while in domestic affairs there was, with the desire to maintain the institutions of the country, a readiness to frame and bring for ward measures of practical amendment." Having once made up his mind on these points, Earl Stanhope showed that he did not lack enthusiasm. The counsel he then offered to private friends indeed placed him "more in a party character and position than he had been for some time past." But this was not to him a subject of regret. It brought him on his own admission, into cordial co-operation and communica tion with gentlemen whom he highly respected, and who had assembled to do honour to the same cause. So Earl Stanhope could refer in eulogistic terms to the triumph they had achieved in West Kent, and to the gratifying result of the late general election as far as the Conservatives are concerned. While refusing to offer anything like a predetermined or undiscriminating opposition to Lord Palmer ston and his colleagues, Lord Stanhope points out two unfavourable and unpromis ing circumstances in the formation of the present Government. These were, first, the entire exclusion of Irishmen from any share in the new poli tical and Government appointments; and secondly, the elevation of certain adherents of the Whig party to the peerage. They are both, in fact, mistakes of the gravest character. It is an act of injustice to the Irish people, while great questions affecting their interests are pending, to ostracise, as it were, Irish statesmen. Nor was the indiscriminate manner in vihich honours were conferred one whit less deserv ing of censure. Mr. Smith, Sir Benjamin Hall, and. Mr. Labouchere were sent to the Upper House be cause they were not qualified to fill an office in the Cabinet. The system of converting the Upper House:into an asylum for destitute and incapable Whigs fully merits the censure conveyed by Lord Stan hope. It is, as he justly remarked, a remnant of the old Whig party system of carrying on the Government by means of the great Whig houses. These leadees have of late put forward the preten sion that they possess the prescriptive right to gorern. This is the hobby that Lord John Russell rides whenever the opportunity occurs. Nobody else is to be permitted to meddle with reform because he has tried twice and failed. This was the plea under cover of 'which he iierought forward the most factious motion ever made in the House of Commons, and on a similar plea three legislators, who in various departments had failed most miser ably, had greatness thrust upon them. The malpractices, the intrigues, the party conflicts, that have compelled Earl Stanhope both to speak and to act with vigour, have during the last few months had a wonderful effect upon members be longing to the more moderate section of the com munity. They perceive that a contest impends in which it will be treason for any one to remain neu tral. A fierce onslaught is to be made on all the most honoured institutions of the country, and the experiment tried to place all authority in the hands of a class. Hitherto we have been ruled by men of position and intelligence ; henceforth we are told by these later luminaries that the mob are to wield the supremacy. It is evident that the English na tion will not submit to such despotism. Principles will once more be weighed and examined, and the value of party government understood and appre ciated. And at such a crisis the testimony of Earl Stanhope as to the real efficacy and authority of Conservative principles is doubly important. " Above all," Lord Stanhope urged, " let them cherish Conservative principles with regard to all public questions—implying by Conservative prin ciples the maintenance and promotion of the an cient institutions of the country. This lie took to be the meaning of true Conservative principles, the support and maintenance of our ancient institu tions. Not that this definition of Conservatism was to be taken as excluding measures of improve ment and repair, but the very reverse. They all knew that reconstruction and repair were called for in all material things—that repairs aye, and large repairs—might often be necessary for the preservation of the fabric. Changes, and consider able changes, might be made, provided they were made upon the principle of tending to support and strengthen those old and glorious institutions in herited by us from our forefathers. There was a great and vital difference between those improve ments that thded to give new nerve and vigour to the fabric and those changes which the revolution ists of the day had called for, asking them to sub vert the fabric altogether." It is not salutary change but wholesale destruction to which all Con servatives are opposed, and the career of the late Government furnishes several proofs that the Con servatives are more entitled to the designation of " Liberal" than the party who usurped that title. Mr. Bright and his supporters, by their reckless conduct, are actually imparting strength and power to the Conservative cause. People not only mistrust these demagogues, but all politicians that depend upon them for aid and encouragement. The present coalition offered office to Mr. Cobden, and actually includes Messrs. Gibson and Villiers, two of his lieu tenants, in its ranks. Although it is an exclusive Cabinet its existence depends upon .the favour of members of the revolutionary school. Such an in congruous gathering will soon bring the vessel of the State amongst the breakers. But the peril is fore seen and a way of escape afforded. The party that can command a majority in the country as well as in both houses of Parliament, has the sole right to the direction of public affairs. When they are summoned to the helm the danger will disappear, and England will be restored to the position which she has, by the fatal policy of the coalitionists, so suddenly forfeited. The duty of all is to be pre pared for an emergency, and we cannot point to a better example than that afforded by the conduct of Earl Stanhope. The noble earl desired to re main in a neutral and independent position, but felt forced to take a more decided part, from the injustice practised against Lord Derby and his col leagues, and the disastrous consequences with which the country is thereby threatened.—Morn ing Herald. TUSCANY. ( From the Times' Correspondent ) FLORENCE, SEPT. 12. The people here have survived the article in the Maniteur. The Emperor Napoleon can puzzle and perplex, can startle, and even annihilate, but can • not deceive the Italians. They never believed, never trusted him. When, in August of last year, he in timated to Count Cavour, at Plombieres, that " France mu3t flow over, and the tide must set in upon Italy," that great and good gambling states man, who had all Italy in the leash, wisely decided for himself and his countrymen that it was better France should come in as a friend than as a foe. The game was a hazardous one, but circumstances allowed the Italians no alternative. Between the French Monarch and the Sardinian Minister three points were clearly settled. Piedmont agreed to the cession of Savoy and Nice to France. Piedmont, in return, secured all Italy, from the Alps to the Adriatic. Tuscany, or Central Italy, was to be erected into a kingdom for Prince Napoleon Jerome. Cavour and the Italians had no faith that the Em peror would abide by his own terms of the bargain. Up to the day that French soldiers first landed at Genoa they had no firm hope that war would even begin. But hostilities broke out, and Cavour and Italy, from choice no less than from necessity, lent themselves passively to all Napoleon's behests. The Italians fought manfully by the side of the French; they rose when, where, and as they were bidden. At every forward step of the allied armies Piedmont hastened to secure the share that was allotted to her. She took direct, immediate, and sovereign pos session of Massa and Carrara, of Parma, Modena, and Milan. She dared not touch Tuscany, and fore bore meddling with the Legations, well knowing the designs that France had on those districts. All was done as per programme, and had the enterprise been followed up to its termination every one would have remained with his own preassigned part of the prey. Of all the men who had been charged with the task of working out that great scheme only one was ur successful—and that was Prince Napoleon Jerome. Whether it was owing to that excessive cunning which often ends by overreaching itself, or whether the antipathy of the Tuscans to the person of the Prince and their strong national aspirations stood in his way, certain it is that the Commander-in- Chief of the Fifth Corps marched from Tuscany into Lombardy, as the Italians have it, " colle give nel sacco," that is, re infecta. The French. Emperor, per haps, thought himself cheated ; he fancied he per ceived that " la biscia aveva beccato it ciarlatano," or that he played there the part of "the biter bit." He threw up the game in dudgeon, and came to terms with Austria at Villafranca. Now, in their tarn, the Italians were the losers; and now the Emperor, whose first design was per- , haps merely that his allies should not have their share of the bargain while he was swindled out of his own, gradually saw the possibility of turning the tables upon them, by still getting his own share, and doing them out of theirs. He agreed with Aus tria upon the restoration of the runaway sovereigns of Central Italy, at the same time that he declared those princes should not be brought back by foreign armed intervention. He thus gave Austria a pro mise which he well knew would never be realised, and encouraged in the Italians hopes which he was equally sure would lead to nothing but disappoint ment. The result of these manoeuvres was fortunate beyond his most sanguine expectations., The Italians proved stubborn to the last, and they proceeded in their career of emancipation with a steadiness, unani mity, and dignity which not only enlisted the sym pathies of Europe in their behalf, but brought even Austria to the verge of despair, and inclined her to renounce the benefits accruing to her from the ful filment of that part of the Villafranca compact. Matters having been brought to this satisfac tory point, what says the Imperial writer in the Moniteur? " The Archdukes shall not be brought back by the armed interference of a foreign Power." Consequently Austria must, for ever give up every thought of re-establishing her sway over Central Italy. The Italians, however, " have been wrong in thwarting the consequences of the Treaty of Villafranca." " They have nothing to hope from a Congress, and must prepare for new calamities." The Italian; shall not have their Princes forced upon them, but neither must they hope that France or Europe will ever consent to their scheme of a union with Piedmont. Their vote of the decheanco of their sovereigns was a matter which concerned them alone. Their vote of an nexation to the North Italian Kingdom depends on them no less than on King Victor Emmanuel; and Austria, France, and Europe will know how to tie down the hands of the King, so that the tender of a Central Italian crown to him shall come to nought. The Emperor has three-fourths of the game in his own hands. He has bent Austria to his own views, even against her interests, for he has bowed her to necessity. With Austria in his trnin, he can either refuse to face a European Congress, or he will have the power to obtain the Congress's signature to any agreement he may have come to with Austria, and it will go forth as a European fiat that the Central Italians are quit of their Princes, but are not to be united to Piedmont. Thus shall the field be free for the French Emperor, or for his lucky cousin, Prince Napoleon Jerome. Now, is an open field always sufficient to enable a champion to achieve his victory ? 'Will the mere vacancy of the throne of Central Italy secure the success of Prince Napoleon ? The Emperor Napoleon well deserves all the difficulties which are still before him, and is aware of the neces sity of more than ordinary caution and circumspec tion. I said in my last letter that after giving the subject all mature consideratio n , I came to the con clusion that the arts litherto resorted to in order to create a Plon-plonist party in this country have been unavailing, and that that party has been hitherto simply despicable both as to what con cerns its numbers and its personnel. I am fully convinced the Palais Royal are acting without the consent of the Emperor, who would rather they showed less haste and less zeal in their in trigues. His day has not yet come. As yet the Italians are flushed with the success of their an nexation endeavours, and unwilling to dwell on the possible disappointment of their sanguine hopes in that quarter; but let a day come in which France and Austria, with or without the rest of Europe, shall plainly intimate that the Po and the Arno will never be allowed to flow in the same channel, that the phrase "// n'y a plus d'Appennins'.! has no more chance of becoming a truth than Louis XlV.'s famous " II n'y a plus de. Pyrenees," or, in a word, that Turin, Milan, and Florence shall never be ruled by one sceptre—and then we must see in what manner the Central Italians will be able to avail themselves of their freedom of suffrage. Then the Emperor may well fancy he will have them. They will be made to choose a Prince, and that must be neither a Savoy, nor an Austrian, nor a Bourbon Prince. The world is wide for them to choose out of, yet the cards are so well shuffled, the sleight of hand player whirls them so rapidly be fore the dazzled audience, that only one of the whole pack is obtruded before their gaze. There will then be no lack of honest patriots to teach their country men the wisdom of submitting to necessity with a good grace, illustrating the old French adage, " Quand-on n'a pas ce qu'on aime, it faut diner ce peo'n a." Those among the readers of the Times who have had the 'patience to read my letters ever since the landing of the doughty commander of the fifth corps, in May last, will be aware of the steadiness with which the Emperor Napoleon has pursued his scheme for the establishment of whathe calls French influence in Central Italy. His tactics have changed with the various phases of great European vicissi tudes, but the intent is the &my!, and he never per haps was nearer the attainment of his object than he vows is. Austria gi v e s u p t he game to him alto gether ; she leaves him an open field in the Lega tions and the whole Papal States. As the sworn champion of the Papacy, the French Emperor must needs leave his 60,000 men to winter in Italy ; they lie in the way to oppose any outbreak of hostilities between Austria and Piedmont ; they are at hand to profit by the least disorder in the Duchies, in Romagna or Tuscany, to have a pretext for violat• ing the promise of non-intervention. We may have the Pope's death pre s e ntl y , and th e jobbing , ca jolling, h rels) e u n ll t y a in n g n o p f e a ni c ng on . cV;e. Naples also may any is hardly an ay in cident but it is sure to turn out in favour of the n day andp great French Cunctator. He has only to keep his own counsel and bide his time. The wisdom and moderation, the love of order of the Italians, may vet baffle him for weeks or months, but the bitter disappointment arising from the rejection of their vote for annexation, and the sense of their aban donment by all the Powers of Europe, may work greater mischief among them than either 'French intrigues or Austrian threats. One week, one month, perhaps, and the world may see a French Prince of the blood seated on the throne of Tuscany and Central Italy, another Prince of the same blood wearing the crown of the two Sicilies, or Southern Italy, and a French Cardinal, I or an Italian prelate in the French interest, occupy ing the chair of St. Peter—a chair propped up by French bayonets at 8010n b ma, as it is now at Rome. Piedmont, as the Turin Eiritto aptly expresses it, surrounded by French forces on three sides, will be nothing better—nay, something far worse, than a French Prefecture, and Venice in the hands of Aus tria will be made to atone for the sins of her stiff necked sisters of Central Italy, agreeably to the prospect ominously held out by the .iloniteur. Such is the interpretation some of the keen sighted people about me put upon the severe and, to say the least, ungenerous declaration put forth by the official organ of the French Government. It is only a repetition of the message brought to Bologna and Florence by the Reisets and Ponia towsk3-s, whom nobody believed here, and whom the French Government itself repeatedly affected to disavow. The Emperor does not wish for the re storation of the fallen Princes of Central Italy, and does not seriously chide the Italians for the stub bornness with which they thwarted the views of the negotiators of Villafranca. He does not believe that the leaders of the Italian movement were " more preoccupied with small partial suc cesses than with the future of their common country," or that a different policy followed by them " would have bettered the condition of unhappy Venice!' He does not believe that " France made war for an idea," or that " her task was accomplished." He does not believe one word of what lie wrote in the Illoniteur, not one word of what he ever writes or speaks. But the Italians have very nearly provoked him out of his usual temper. Their upright instincts, their dignity and unanimity have roused the worst passions within him. The cloven foot shows forth, and the ".new misfortunes" that are said to be in store for Italy will be the substitution of French ascendancy instead of that Austaian influence which the Italians were by Napoleon himself so loudly incited to shake off. We had yesterday a grand review at the Cascine. The National Guard made their first appearance, mustered up in four battalions, the fourth part, as • we are told, of the whole legion which is to be. The papers reckon the soldier-citizens at 1,800, or even 2,000; but one of the staff-officers assures me they were not more than 1,500. It is, however. a very encouraging odvance from the statement I made 10 days ago, when, upon the same good authority, I gave the number of the inscribed militia at 500. Indeed, the organisation of this militia has proceeded • at a very rapid pace, and the result is most satis factory. I have already repeatedly praised the manly appearance and martial look of the fine Tuscan youth. I must add that yesterday they went through their evolutions with great precision, regularity, and spirit. It would ilot be possible for any town in so short a time to turn out mere recruits with a more complete look and behaviour of veterans. Were it possible to pick out from their ranks a few companies to be trained as riflemen, or even artil lerymen, this merely civil institution could be easily turned to useful military purposes. Their uniform, a mere blouse and kepi, is both cheap and becom ing. They have a few old officers to command them, and even, I believe, Sardinian sergeants, to introduce the Piedmontese drill among them. The Lieutenant-Colonel, Cavaliere Carl* Fenzi, and others of the superior officers, are, how ever, laymen, elected by their companies, or appointed by Government, out of regard for their popular character and well-known active de votion t,.) their country's c iuse. On the whole, I do not know a sight that could gladden a patriot's heart more than yesterday's muster at the Cascine. The battalions defiled before Baron Ricasoli, with loud shouts of Viva it Re ! The baron did not ad dress the vast multitude, as was expected ; perhaps his voice was not strong enough to be heard. His harangue has, however, been printed, and appears to-day in the newspapers. Here it is : " Officers, under-officers, and soldiers of the Fl - rence National Guard—The review I have just held surpasses my expectation. After less than two months' exercise, you shoived on the field as fit for the use of arms as an old and regular militia. I give you praise in ti e name of the country, and in the name of our chosen King, Victor Emmanuel. I trust the other legions of Tuscany will be equal to you in their readiness to learn military manoeuvres, in their diligence in the discharge of their duties, in their respect for discipline, in their firm purpose to ennoble and utilise the material exercise of arms by the highest national feelings. We have the re putation of being a civilised people—by the prac tice of manly exercise we shall also acquire the re putation of a brave people. If ever the freedom and independence which we have conquered were dis puted by any one—though I believe it never will be—you, who are the guardians of internal order, would manfully defend them, together with our brave army, against foreign foes. I see shining on the breasts of many of you the medal of honour ac quired on the Lombard fields 10 years ago. Your behaviour, your earnestness to-day, assure me that you all would know how to deserve it." The Government opened yesterday a railway branch from Sienna to Asinalunga. They were greeted all along their progress by the most cordial cheers of the assembled population. The remote rural districts they traversed seemed. animated by even greater enthusiasm in behalf of the union with Piedmont than the people in and about the capital. SUICIDE AT NORTH SHIELDS. Mr. S. Reed concluded an inquest on Thursday, in the Town Hall, North Shields, on the body of Mr. Richard Bell, traveller to Mr. W. H. Allison, brewer, North Shields, who was found dead on Tuesday afternoon under the circumstances detailed below :---- The Coroner, in opening the inquiry, said that this was a case of self-destruction, for there was no doubt that the man had made away with himself ; and there was only one point that they need direct their attention to in the inquiry : it was whether the deceased man knew right from wrong at the time he committed the rash act; for if he were com petent to know right from wrong he was guilty of felo de se, and mould be deprived of Christian burial. Mr. Hewitt, superintendent of police, said that yesterday, about half-past two o'clock, a lad came and told him that Mr. Bell, the traveller to Mr. Allison, brewer, had hung himself in the porter store, Kirby's Bank, Duke-street. Witness found lying beside the deceased his hat and coat, which he had put off, and also a letter addressed to W. H. Allison, Esq., his employer. Mr. Hewitt read the letter, which was as follows: " High Brewery, North Shields. " To W. 11. Allison, Esq." " Dear Sir—As I can no longer stand against the bitter anguish of mind, I must now take leave of everything which is dear to me. I find that struggling sensation within me which would render death a comfort rather than life. In my endeavour to do the best for everybody I have only succeeded in ruining myself. This I must say, that whatever may be wrong in my affairs I have not kept a single item towards my own interest, and every thing has been disposed of either directly or indi rectly for your welfare. My actions may have been legally wrong but they are morally right. There is one thing that I implore of you, that, in the adjustment of my affairs, you will not disturb my private house, and do nothing harsh to my wife or two dear boys, which happiness I have not known for some years except when in their pre sence. I am sorry I have adopted this fatal remedy, but I cannot live to be the most miserable of human beings. Wishing you and everybody farewell—l am, Sir, yours truly, " R. BELL. " P.S. I was worth money when I came into your service, and feel assured that if you give those who may be left behind me to the 2d of February next, you will be satisfied so far as anything I may be indebted to you. Only I ask you not to take severe means, so that what I am worth may not be )4t ven away. You are aware you have a security. " R. BELL." r. George Martin, agent to Mr. Allison, brewer, had known the deceased about six year, while in their service. He always appeared to be very atten tive to business. He always considered him a steady man. He had not been afflicted with illness lately, though for the last fortnight he appeared much ex cited. Within the last fortnight they had suspicion that he was misapplying the funds of his employer. Deceased did not say anything himself about being in difficulties. Within the last fortnight it was understood that Mr. Allison taxed him with receiv ing money and not accounting for it. Witness be lieved that Mr. Allison did not threaten to discharge him,but treated him kindly. Witness saw Bell on Sunday morning, and he also saw him on Monday at the office. He appeared in a very depressed state. He believed he hardly knew what he was doing or saying at the time. The Coroner at this stage read to the witness the letter written by Bell, and asked him if he thought that was the effusion of an insane man ? The witness did not think he could say so. After a long deliberation and discussion the jury returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity." No. 20,980 PUBLICATIONS. NEW NOVEL BY MR. J. E. READE. Just ready, in 3 vols , UT AI T AND H O P E.

THE'BUILDERS' STRIKE. Last night a public meeting was held in SL Martin's Hall, Long-acre, for the purpose of afford ing the various trades of London an opportunity of expressing their opinion upon the "odious docu ment." Not less than 2,000 operatives were present, and Mr. Allen, Secretary to the Associated Engi neers, was called to the chair: Mr. POTTER was happy to say that almost to a man the building operatives had refused to accept work at the expense of signing the document, and, be trusted that the meeting 'would express its ap proval of their conduct, and would support them until the document was unconditionally with drawn. Mr. LESTER, delegate from the Glassblowers' Association, moved the following resolution : " That the meeting is of opinion that the declara tion which the employers in the building trade desire to force upon the men amounts to an infringe ment of their moral anorlegal rights, as clearly de fined by a recent act of the legislature, and con siders that the men are justified in refusing to accept it, and are entitled to public support, whidh this meeting pledges its best exertions to obtain." Mr. CHARLES MURRAY (shoemaker) seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. H. J. SLACK and Mr. MANTZ (compositor). The CHAIRMAN, in putting the resolution, ob served that the engineers on their strike were not defeated, nor had their society been suppressed. On the contrary, the fact was that .at the time ,of theft strike the number enrolled in the society was 11,000, but now the numbers amounted to upwards of 17,000, and their last year's expenditure was no less than . £52,000. (Loud cheers.) The resolution was carried amidst the most voci ferous cheering, not a single "band being held -tip agains it. A vote of thanks, on the motion of Mr. BECKETT (compositor), was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting dissolved. The following letter was read in the course of the proceedings : " Queen's Hotel, Brighton, Sept. 13, 1859. " Sir,—As many thousands of the building ope ratives reside in Southwark, they will be glad to learn that their popular member, the gallant old admiral,' in a letter to me to-day, says About the strike, I think now that the workmen are right and the masters are wrong.'—l am. &c., " MARSH NELSON. " To Mr. George Potter, Secretary to the United Trades Conference." (From the Building News.) . Judging of the declaration as a measure of p olic y , it incurred last Monday the severest condemnation, for it signally and ignobly failed. Although the shops were opened, but a fraction signed, and of those the majority never have belonged, and never would belong, to any society. They must not, how ever, be supposed for that to be the most prudent, the best conducted, and most reliable hands. In the large establishment of Mr. Myers, not a man signed, although nearly 400 of the best and oldest hands had assembled in York-road at six o'clock in the morning, and were addressed on three several occa sions by the senior member of the firm in explana tioii of the meaning and purport of the declaration. The addresses met with no response, for the listeners to a man refused to work under it. Messrs. Jay, in the City-road, who before the lock-out employed upwards of 1,200 hands, did not succeed in obtain ing a dozen out of that number—not one 'in a hun dred—to enter upon the terms insisted upon. Messrs. Piper were more fortunate—they entered about 25 out of 1,100 men usually employed, but they were principally sawyers and masons, of whom not three-fourths were old hands, and the remainder fresh ones. There were, however, some hundreds ready to work without reference to the nine hours, and also without reference to the declaration. Messrs. Brown and Robinson obtained six out of per haps 500. Of the 60 men who presented themselves at Messrs. Ashby's, not one would sign, although willing to give up the nine hours' agitation. Messrs. Holland and Hannen entered about 30 workmen out of the 1,000 they generally employ. Messrs. Lucas met with half a dozen painters who assented work es under the declaration. Of the 300 usually employed by Messrs. Mansfield, 100 presented themselves, but refused to sign, with the exception of a few painters and labourers ; the remainder walked away. Messrs. Cubitt were more fortunate, for r ile th i ege o asubmouetd work third under de t of building operatives is men they employed re aration. If number men, not one per cent have under stood to be, it followsth and when ninety nine men . out o d f at, excluding Messrs. Cubitt's o s o i o g , ne wh i ch it is prefer "short - commons" to signing the document," tehvee, "document," declaration, hundred and that in the seventh week of the strike, and the fifth week of the lock-out, spectators i must be per mitted to doubt its prudence, and will be nduced to believe that it is more seriously offensive and re pugnant to the feelings of resp ectable artizans than it was first represented to be. Another remarkable circumstance is that the number of men who took work under the declaration barely equalled the number of those who signed the anti-strike declara tion. What, then, has become of those thousands who we were told welcomed the " document" as a shield and protection against the tyranny and in terference of societies ? The most favourable fea ture reported of Monday's proceedings was the opening of several shops without asking for any declaration from the men. The firms who are stated to have adopted this wise, conciliatory, and honourable policy are Mr. Poole, with sixty . men; Mr. Aldin,employing four hundred men ; Mr. Beris, sixty men ; Mr. Rose, one hundred men ; and Messrs. Jackson and Shaw, two hundred men. - , E
