The event which stands out in the boldest relief with reference to the past year, is undoubtedly that which called together the various tribes of the civilized world.

This grand convention of the world's artificers caused the capital of Great Britain to become a centerpoint of attraction, and the tri umphant results which attended this memorable Congress, win not soon be obliterated from the memory Of the many who were specula tors of the grand display. It is not, however, the province of tradesmen to take discursive views of a year's occurrences, except in connexion with their own immediate speculations. It is a generally received opinion, that the Great Exhibition produced effects in trade contrary to those naturally anticipated ; nor can it be denied that this is true, to a certain ex tent, in certain quarters.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : " 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Mobre, in the 18th Hussars. always pro cured,the best medical aid, without obtaining any . essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. " From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to th areaus. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has no t in any deg suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully , " GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and for ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their eq all in thee world.

FAREWELL, OLD YEAR! marked by the revolution of Empires and the convulsion of Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of Industry, fraught w ith events which will be recorded on the historic page, forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechaule— a great step in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the hostile tribes of the human race The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent outlay, amazing preparations, and highly cultivated taste displayed in the memorable Exhibition, aroused the attention of all classes— from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the beloved Sovereign of our country to the most distant member of her extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display, and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the sources of gratification every d a y unfolding. Great as was this expo sition of the resources , skill, and industry of all nations, approved and instructive as were its results, E. MOSES and SON, though they had little to learn from the styles and fabrics of dress presented in the World's Show, being connected with all the most celebrated con tributors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their clothing ; yet th:y had the pleasure of tendering their attention to thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous manner in which approbation was manifested towards their great business undertakings, all based on such a system as gratifies the observer while it secures the proper advancement of society by diffusing a correct and elevated taste. This they assert with the most substantial proof that they are giving expression to the senti ments of thousands, who will long remember their business Establish ments as the principal attractions of the City. The Glass Palace may henceforth be little regarded, or may be entirely removed ; but E. MOSES and SON, encouraged by the confidence and patronage of thousands, will endeavour to render their Establishments attractive by the magnificence of their Stock, its adaptation to all Seasons, its unparalleled elegance, and its prices, below those of any other house in the kingdom ; they therefore hail the New Year, in the spirit of tradesmen, posted up to the present moment, ready to meet all the commands of their friends and patrons in the City or in the Cou ntr y , to supply at any moment the most appropriate style of dress at the lowest rate, er to give imme diate attention, and, they doubt not, great satisfaction to those Gentlemen who favour them with their orders in the Bespoke De partment. For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their elegant fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter Wear they recom mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle men whose Sons have returned from school to spend their holidays, to pay a visit to their City or West End Establishments, and to select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which has the three following requisites combined—Fashion, Durability, and Cheapness. Nor b.ave - .they- neglect to-provide for the- Year 1852 every Article in Vie Outfitting Department.

To particularize Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots, Shoes, &c., &c., &c., is unnecessary. A visit to E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments in Aldgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street, corner of Bart-street, will convey some idea of their derermination in reference tb the year 1852. No sacrifice of time, talent, or money, will be considered, No exertions which vigilant and persevering tradesmen can make will neglected. No opportunity of gratifying the diversified tastes passive th e ir Patrons will be allowed to pass unimproved. But, by massve outlay of capital, extensive business transactions in the first circles of fashion, by unabated zeal in all deportments of their daily increasing trade, they are resolved to make such an impres sion on their Friends, Patrons, and the Public, as will ensure to them the celebrity of the first Clothiers and Outfitters in the World. It is their ambition to maintain the honourable distinction they have already attained ; to meet the claims of an improving state of so ciety ; to extend the benefit of Free Trade ; to turn to the most profitable account the interchange of nations ; and to incorporate with these events the reduction of price on those every day requi sites, Elegant and Serviceable Dress. In the execution of these gigantic designs they are cheered on by the encouragement they have already received ; and in bidding farewell to the Old Year, they expre ss their highest sense of obligation for the support awarded to their establishments, and hope, ere the close of another year, they will have the satisfaction of being, as they always have been, uni vers illy acknowledged as the cheapest, most talented, and unrivalled Clothiers, Tailors, Outfitters, and Merchants in the World.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ADVERTISER.—It is as we expected. The despotic Courts on the Continent cannot restrain, within the limits of decency, their exultation at the downfal of Lord Palmerston. They revel in delight at the thought of his dismissal from office. No one can be surprised at this. The wonder would have been if it bad been otherwise. They have, indeed, cause for joy, if it shall turn o u t that the Noble Lord's exit from Downing-street is t o b e perpetual. But it may be well to remind continental despots, that on the point whether Lord Palmerston's exclusion from office is to be for ever, or only for. a time, there are at least two opinions. The knowledge of this fact may go some way to moderate the exultation of the abettors of absolutism on the Continent. It would, too, be quite as well for themselves, if of Vienna, virtue tnu resigning nea o f odre themselvesinstance, srtuamnife n theyet od the impulses of an exceedi ng j oy , t h ey wou ld i ns truct have their ito r n g o a t n . s tTo hec assume ont. t o h not encourage or. directly inspire' f its acknowledged organ, the Lied, to speak- o f L or d P a l mers t on as a men who "abould have been born in Italy at the time that Cee3ar Borgia was in power," and as " a single man . whose demoniacal nature tore England from its natural alliances." But let this language pass. Before long the Austrian Government will, perchance be compelled to express itself in ; terns less ineultin g, and more nearly allied to e truth. We begs to remind the continen els Palmerston is not even politi oal ' ales : for a brief period. And t e a vej indyetsdhpeaosttds. He ist onlyh t e Labonsrd sleep. H e i s b ro ad awake et at this moment. His ey e s , ale 9tl the various move ments of the Russian and Austrian absolutists. Of that they may be assured.; They will, some day or other, find that it is so to their cost. England can not do without her Palmerston. The Liberalised por tion of the people of Europe cannot yet afford to dis pense with his services. He h as done much for the has is not done all which In—much more than a His mission is no t ye t f u lfill e d ; requires en a gy u u s io e rt e o h s f e rt o,33ba Continental en d alive. one. But Lib e h r e a I his task is not yet completed. And the present the execution isnt still l e a d d e v o o f l v d e e s a o y n i n t o li f tt t l h e e in w te o r r r k eg w nu h m ieh , g he Noble Lord, will only accelerate it progress. From his tem porary retirement, from his seeming political sleep, the Noble Lord will rise up as a giant re freshed. He will re-appear with renewed vigour. As yet we have not received intelligence from St. Petersburgh as to the manner in which the news of Lord Palmerston's eviction from the Foreign-office has been received. But we may very confidently , conjecture in what way the intelligence will be re garded at the Court of the Czar. There will not be a person in Europe, crowned or uncrowned, who will hail the Noble Lord's dismissal with greater exultation than Nicholas himself. The memorable words of the despot who sits on his icy throne in the north, will at once occur to every mind acquainted with them :—" The repose of Europe," said the Czsr on a recent occasion, "will never be assured until that revolutionary Palmerston is got rid of." "The repose of Europe !" We all know what that means in the vocabulary of St. Petersburgh. The repose of Europe means, in those northern latitudes, the sleep of political death. It means the entire annihilation of freedom, and the universal prevalence throughout Europe of unmitigated despotism. It means that sort of repose which the bullet and bayonet can create, and which is to be preserved by the sabre and the cannon's mouth. We have had some very fine specimens of this repose within the last few years, and we are not without sa mples of it now. We have only to look across the water and see this sort of European repose, in the case of France, where the press is muzzled, and the musket is regarded as the best means of governing nations. And here let us tell Louis Napoleon, by w ay of parenthesis, that if this is the sort of repose which he means to give to France, he will, to use a favourite expression of our Transatlantic friends, " find out his mistake" before long. We have been willing to give him a fair trial; we have asked others to do the same; but if the principles on which he is at present conduct ing the affairs of his government, be those on which he means to conduct them permanently, he will speedily wish that he had not exchanged his old oc cupations and favourite haunts in the Haymarket, for the possession of supreme power in France. But this is a matter to which we shall have ample oppor tunities' of adverting- hereafter, - It is not with' the President of France, but with the Courts of St. Pe tersburgh and Vienna, that we have just now to do. Possibly they may learn, before long, from bitter experience, not only that they have been exces sive, but premature in their joy. Before hallooing so lustily, it might be just as wise and well for them to make sure that they are out of the wood. It would only indicate the existence of habits of forethought, where they to contemplate the return of Lord Palmerston to power, as at least a possible contingency. And of this, we presume, they are just as much convinced as ourselves, that if he does return to Downing-street, it will be to oc cupy a much higher place in the po liti ca l world than be ever did before. H e w ill b e brought back to Downing-street on the joint invitation of his Sove reign and his fellow-subjects. And re-instated in this wa y in Downing-street, he will become a greater thorn in the sides of the despotic Courts of the Con tinent than ever. Everything seems to indicate the speedy advent of Lord Palmerston to office as Prime Minister of the country. The Whig Cabinet, with out him, is no better than a burlesque. It is a thing of which the country is heartily ashamed. It would not surprise us much, were some of our metropolitan theatres to make it the subject of an afterpiece. It is feebleness itself. To apply to it the term, " strong Government" would be felt by all its members, from the Premier downwards, to be the most bitter satire which could be directed against it. Nor does it admit of being strengthened. Any additions which ma y be made to it would only have the effect, were that possible, of rendering it feebler still. No man who has the slightest respect for himself would li s ten for a moment to any propose! which might be made to him to identify his political fortunes with those of the emasculated Whi g Ministry. If any Person can at all be prevailed on to give in their ad hesion, as it is called, to the Russell Administration, it can only be such ardent 'congers after office as the Grahams and Cardwells, and others of the same poli tical party. But even were there no other objections to these men, their semi-Popish predilections would render it impossible that they should be tolerated in this country. They have excluded themselves effec tually from office, so long as England remains a Pro testant po wer. They did their best, by an unholy alliance with the Members for Rome in the House of Commons, to defeat a measure which had for its object at once to uphold the prerogatives of the Crown, a nd to protect the interests of the Protestant religion. If Sir James Graham, Mr. Cardwell, and the other Parliamentary patrons of Popery, accede to the solicitations of Lord John Russell to join his rickety Cabinet, we should then have an essentially Popish Government, for they could only, after the course they pursued last session, agree to join the Whig Cabinet on the express understanding, that their semi-Romish principles should be embodied in the policy of the Administration. Lord John Russell would not, we believe, have any great objection to this. Protestantism is, in his view, only as dust in the balance, compared with his own continuance in power. But fortunately the country will have its way in the matter. Though Lord John Russell may take these pro-Popish po litici ans into a Cabinet partnership with him, he will not be able to preserve the relationship. The Russell and Graham Ministerial firm, even should it fairly commence business, will not have a protracted existence. Pour or five weeks will be the utmost extent of its term of life. Parliament, expressing the voice of the country, would, before a fortnight had passed away, strike a docquet against it, and cause its name to appear in the Gazette, under the head of official bankrupts. DAILY NEWS.—It is a lon— g time since we espied anything interesting in German politics, much less anything partaking of the comic. The affairs of tiltra•Rhine are in general of the solemn and lugu brious nature, and events wa yey occur are certainly no laughing matter. By . pof exception, however, or perhaps by way of enlivening, a very despondent country during Christmas, the diplomatists at Frank fort have got up a dispute which burlesque writers would turn to wonderful account. The poor Germans are, however, no more allowed to laugh than to talk. Wit is forbidden on both banks of the Rhine, and to laugh at Schwarzenberg, twig Manteuffel, or to smile it these convenient moustaches from between which came Louis Napoleon's oaths, and comes his constitution, would be visited forthwith by military arrest, execution, or castigation. If the Germans must not laugh, let us at least laugh for them. Austria and Prussia are quarrelling. What think you about? About German unity, or a customs league, or the presidency of the Diet, or the pa tronage of the lesser states ? None of these things occasion any strife. But Austria and Prussia are quarrelling as to which of them shall have the command of the German fleet ! It will be said that the German fleet does not exist, that its vessels have been paid off and sold, its one only cap ture restored, its admiral sent about his business, and the very cause for which is was raised betrayed and quarrelling which no w w d h o i e c s h n o o f t theme exist s shallt even forgotten. It matters not. Austria and Prussia ar e com in ma th n a d t Ger man fleet whi c h never ex i ste d b ut i n em b ryo, an d people doubt our assertion let them open the Prussian Gazette, and they will find there an article , or articles, containing most dolorous complaints of Austria's having got possession of th e comm i ttee o f t h e Di et charged with the affairs and the funds of the German fleet. " Prussia subscribed the better part of those funds," pleads the Prussian Gazette, " whilst now those funds are to be disposed of by Austria, Bavaria, and Saxony, powers which never gave o ne s i ng l e dollar to the purchase and support of the German fleet !" • This is certainly very insolent on the part of Austria and of the Kings who do her bidding, and very bard upon Prussia. But as no one in all Germany pities Prussia, and as no one in that country is of any other opinion than that Prussia richly deserves the daily and hourly humiliation she receives, it is quite idle to complain. Austria and her allies have the majority of the Diet. And Prussia, since it rejoined the Diet, has been in such a contemptible minority, and been treated with such marked contumely, that in truth the position of a galley slave at Toulon is tolerable and honour able, compared with that of Prussia at Frankfort. In every standing committee of the Diet, laments the weeping Prussian Gazette, our representative is either left out or left alone. Prussia, from being the first, has been thrust down to the last, power in Germany. One of these standing committees has for its task to form a German Zollverein, to take Ba varia, Wurtemburg, Saxony, and Han Over from the Prussian league, and form with them an Austrian one, which Prussia would be compelled to enter. Yet even this committee has been put together with the usual partiality ; and Prussia is made no more ac count of even in the commercial re-organization of Germany than if she were Mecklenburg- Strelitz or Waldeck. We do not mention these facts in order to excite any sympathy for Prussia. No wretched poltroon ever more richly deserved the daily kicks which are his appanage. And it is not unfitting retribution that the money which the Hamburghers and Stettiners, the dwellers on the Oder, the Weser, and the Elbe subscribed for the German fleet, should be spent by Austrian clerks and Bavarian profes sors. This is not a time for even a Mephistopheles to enjoy the castigation and humiliation inflicted by a descendant of Maria Theresa upon the representa tive of the great Frederick. The old cauldron of French mischief has been once more set upon the fire. Whatever efforts may be made to moderate its heat, that it will boil over upon Europe in some shape or other is too natural to expect. Even were the French inclined to be quiet and to remain at home, the situation and the feelings of the German countries and population on and beyond the Rhine, were alone sufficient to tempt the invader. It is not one but all German Governments that are not merely disliked, but abhorred. And could Louis Napoleon but put a liberal mask over a proclamation to the Germans, he would be "received with open arms, aye, and elected there too by universal suffrage, as the best instrument of vengeance. and the most promising bosom of de struction. With such sentiments in the people, such contingencies in the future, the Austrian Court con tinues to humiliate Prussia, and to keep the old jealousy rankling wide. We have people amongst us repeating the old cant of the Congress of Vienna, and insisting on the necessity of the great Powers remaining united. But how can there be union where there is oppression? Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, hold their feet on the neck of Prussia at this moment, and are abso lutely strangling her, to deprive her of her old lead in the Zollverein. Who can consider Prussia a sincere ally of the present state of things in Germany ? Who is there but must see that the first prince or man of spirit in Prussia who gets the opportunity of a French alliance, or any alliance, will rush eagerly to retribution and vengeance, and to the necessity of re - placing his country in that honour, greatness, and respect, which the Great Frederick won for it. What King of Prussia would care for territories on the left bank of the Rhine, if he could secure Hanover and Saxony in lieu of them ? And Hanover and Saxony —by allowing themselves to be the instruments of Austrian vengeance and spite against Prussia, have certainly earned and may expect from Prussia in re turn that she should take advantage of the first good opportunity to annihilate them. THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE MASTER ENGINEERS AND THE AMALGAMATED SOCIETY. Nothing transpired yesterday calculated to awaken the hope that a friendly termination of the questions at issue between the operative mechanics of the Amalgamated Society and their employers can be hastily looked for. On the one hand, the masters ad here to their resolution to close their factories on the 10th ; and, as far as we can perceive, everything on their part is tending to that end. At the same time, the men with equal pertinacity cling to their deter mination with regard to piecework and overtime. Both are preparing to meet the disastrous conse quences which may be in store for them, should no amicable settlement be arrived at. In a dispute of this nature, where the movement on either side has been characterized by so much mode ration of tone and language, and where so little matter of a personal or a bitter sort has been dragged into the discussion, and where, too, a friendly adjust ment would be so very desirable, it is a great pity that neither party will so far make a concession as to communicate officially to the other that they are ready to receive overtures of a pacific character, with a view to the satisfactory termination of the dispute. The men have already made overtures at their pub lic meetings, but as they have not been brought spe cially before the masters, they refuse to recognise them. Last night a crowded meeting of the men was held at their central club in Stepney. An ENGINEER, having been called to the chair, briefly stated that they had met for the purpose of ascertaining the position of affairs in the different localities of London, so far as they had yet come to their knowledge; he would call therefore upon their zealous and indefatigable friend Newton to give them a sketch of the present aspect of matters.—(Hear.) Mr. NEWTON, who was warmly cheered, proceeded to detail the progress of the movement, many particu lars of which have already been detailed in these co lumns. He stated that on Sunday afternoon there had been a meeting of the executive council, at which many excellent and practical suggestions had been thrown out, and he was happy to inform them that, after much anxious consideration, the council, feeling the necessity of not trenching upon the funds of the society, had devised means whereby employment would be secured to them.—(Cheers.) On Saturday night he had attended a meeting at Greenwich, which had been called in consequence of Mr. Penn, the great employer there, baying stated that the exe cutive committee of the Employer's Association were desirous to receive a deputation from the executive of the Amalgamated Society. He was happy to tell them that at that meeting Mr. Penn was eulogized as one of the most liberal of their employers—(Hear) — and it was out of deference to him, and out of the respect which they entertained for him, that the men had taken the earliest opportunity of calling a meet ing, in order to consider how far they could go in adopting the suggestions which that gentleman had made to them. The feeling of the meeting was una nimous that if the employers wished to receive a de putation a deputation should attend them, but that the men should not take the iniatiee.—(Cheers.) At that meeting there also had occurred what he an cipated would be general. A number of persons who were not connected with the Amalgamated Society_ and who had continued to work overtime, attended and inquired if they could not, as non-members of the . society, co-operate in the movement—if the b ir : ea. , / men and sistance should be accepted they would t . e o n 0 , 1 forward quit their labour at the terminaterot w as the ten hours.

In conclusion, he called on them to remember that their position was a passive one in resisting the strike of the employers, and that they had only been called into activity by the neces sity of making preparations for their defence. M. USHER said he was glad to hear that prepara tions were being made to meet the crisis. He was sure the men were quite prepared to enter into the system of self-employment. The members of the society had not only a great many tools, but a very would oul considerable amount of money at their disposal, which they would readily lend to the council.—(Hear, hear.)

(From the Illanchester ,Gzu4rdian) Since our, last publication, vatious communications have been made to the neiwspapirs in reference to the disputes between the engineers and machine-makers and the Amalgamated Society of workmen. Speeches have also been made at the meeting of the latter body ; and by a comparison of the two we are enabled to arrive at a tolerably clear perception of the true merits of the questions at issue. We have stated on a former occasion that the ad vocates of the Amalgamated Society were evidently desirous of keeping out of view the most obnoxious of the demands which they are preferring—namely, that which requires the expulsion of the labourers employed in working, or rather in watching, self-acting ma chines, and filling up their places with members of the society. They were, of course, far too cunning to put forward so odious a demand in any general form; but that it constitutes a part of their general design there cannot be the slightest doubt on the mind of any man who carefully attends to the facts which have come before the public. At a meeting of the workmen which was held in London on Tuesday last, Mr. W. Newton, " a member of the executive council of the Amalgamated Society," and apparently the presiding spirit in, and the mouthpiece and advo cate of that society, denied with some warmth that any such demand had been made or was thought of. He said that the society— " Disavowed all intention of removing any persons at present in employment; there was nothing in the pre sent proceedings of the council that expressed or implied any such intention; they had never asked for the re moval of a man from a machine, who was working at it, who had earned a title to work at it by the time he had been employed at it; and so far from the opinions of their members being against those men, they had fos terei and encouraged them." Now, this would be all very fine if it was true, but we know perfectly well, from the demand made upon Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, that it was not true, and that the only fostering and encouragement which the labourers in question will receive from the members of the Amalgamated Society, when the latter can have their own way, will be immediate expulsion from their employment and their only means of earning a livelihood. It is ttue that Mr. Newton refers to the demands made upon Messrs. Hibbert and Platt as being merely a dispute between them and their own workmen, " who demanded the abolition of over-time, and asked for the discharge of a certain number of men whom they called illegal men"—namely, the very men whom the society has always " fostered and encouraged"— so far at least as fair words, contradicted by foul ac tions, can go. " But the society," Mr. Newton says, " had nothing to do with all this, and had never taken part in the proceeding. He himself attended at Old ham in his individual capacity, to try to prevent a strike which must be attended with so much misery." Now, it may be, and no doubt is, very convenient for Mr. Newton to divest himself of his official capacity whenever he pleases, and to try to exonerate the Amalgamated Society by throwing the blame of making cruel and odious demands upon particular bodies of workmen, but the public will naturally look a little under the flimsy veil with which he strives to shroud the proceedings at Oldham. It; may be very true that the bolt was shot by Messrs. Hibbert and Platt's workmen, but people will want to know who forged it, and they will draw certain inferences from the presence on the spot of Mr. Newton. What the "individual capacity" of that gentleman (who lives in London, and is not, we believe, a mechanic or engi neer at all) had to do with a dispute between a Lan cashire firm of machine makers and their workmen he does not explaie, and we are at a loss to conjec ture. The public, however, will very naturally infer that his presence was not a private, but an official act, and that the demand with which he busied himself was virtually the demand of the society of which he is the active agent. If it was not so, and if the labourers against whom the demands of the Oldham workmen were levelled were men whom the Amalgamated Society had always " fostered and encouraged," how came it to pass that the attempt to drive them from their employment was not visited with the censures of the society ? and why did Mr. Newton, " member of the council," &c., en deavour, as we know he did very recently, to induce Messrs. Hibbert and Platt to comply with the demand of their workmen, and to dismiss the men of whom the latter complained ? The truth is obvious enough. The demand for the expulsion of the labourers is as much the act of the society as those for the abolition of over-time and piece work, and nobody pretends to doubt that if the workmen, in whose name it has been made, should turn out because it is not complied rnirtt , eoc i tm t e w de, o s s u br l us d .t with, they will be sustained by the funds and the in fluence of the society. It was felt that such an odious demand could not be made at once on all the em ployers without provoking a general resistance; and arrangements were therefore entered into for attacking the different establishments successively, commen cing with left largestwi th that i n o t f he Me k s i s n r g s d . o ll m ire a r n t d an i d f Pthleaytt,haasd onbeetehnef unaided, and had been compelled to give ways would have been attacked in succession. against whom the have been effectually removed by h eae makers of this Parr, Curtis, and Madeley, the Hemm, If any doubt had remained on this from the " Bran 1 1 to the Amalgamated Society, dated street, e Branch office, 5, Stanley-street, Dale • the dismissal of Manchester, ismissal of a July, 26, 1851," and demandingdescribed machines, lathes, boring machines, mnuinmdbienrgopfiapeeiersgo.ns, who are as labourers s r l letter t ° d e i who, if we may believe Mr. Newton, are " fostered and encouraged" by tha t . society whose Manchester secretary demands their dismissal and destitution. ist e seto . n l and demands a t n h d e s s o a rt e he so O rt ldh of Whatever M a m m en w , o i r n kisTm sh e o ri rt w , others may say upon the subject, the publio very easily discern the real truth of the matter, and will, we imagine, pretty strongly condemn the conduct of a body of men who have combined for the ;purpose of depriving of their ans ployasent and their livelihood a numerous and meritorious class of workmen, many of whom have b een engaged i n th e i r present avocations, without question or objection, for ten, fifteen, and even twenty years. If such tyranny can be practised with success and impunity in Eng land in the present time, it is some high time that c hange should be made either in the law or in the mode of administering it. We have no fears, however, for the result of the Coming struggle. A PRACTISED ROBBER.—A young man named Thomas Read, said to be very respectably connected, has been committed by the Gloucester magistrates for trial on three charges of robberies committed at hotels at Gloucester and Worcester. The prisoner assumed the character of a commercial traveller. On Sunday evening he appeared at the Angel Inn, Worcester, in that character, engaged a bed, and was shown to his room, where he remained for some ten minutes. In that brief space of time he contrived to pick two locks, and to abstract from a box twelve silver teaspoons, two pair of tablespoons, and a pair of salt spoons. Proceed ing by railway to Gloucester by the first train next morning, he sold the plate and put up at the Greyhound Commercial Inn, where he dined, and paid his bill. Before leaving, however, he picked the lock of a drawer and box, and ab stracted 501. in gold, leaving other money in notes in the box. A third robbery, of a greet coat, was committed at another inn which he bad patronised. He was apprehended at the Gloucester Railway Station as be was proceeding by a first class train to Birmingham.

Robert Daly, brother of Lord Dusandle, and son-in-law of Lord Heytesbury, has commenced a canvass of the constituency of the county of Gal way for their suffrages at the next general election. Besides Mr. Daly, there are several other candidates in the field ; among them Lord Dunkellin, with all the influence of his noble father, the Postmaster-Ge neral, at his back, and Mr. W. H. Gregory, of Coole, the ex-Member for the city of Dublin. Mr. Frederick Hughes, of Ely House, has issued an address to the electors of the borough of Wexford, soliciting their suffrages, in the event of the retire ment of the present Member (Mr. James Devereux). Mr. Hughes is an advocate of general and financial reform, an equitable adjustment of the land question, and every other measure calculated to alleviate the condition of the people. Mr. John O'Brien, M.P. for the city of Limerick, means to offer his services to the electors of the county of Clare, on tenant•right principles. The " Lord Bishop of Killaloe," Dr. Vaughan, has, it seems, " promised that he and his clergy will return the Hon. Gentleman free of expense." AIR. E. LAURENT'S PRIZE QUADRILLE. A musical performance, of a somewhat novel nature, took place yesterday in the Argyll Rooms, in Windmill•street. Mr. Laurent having offered a prize of ten guineas for the best original quadrille, six of our leading writers of dancing music came forward as competitors :—Mr. Charles Coote, Mr. F. G. Tinnev, Mr. J. R Tutten, Mr. J. G. Calcott, Mr. W. H. Montgomery, and Mr. Henry Laurent. Each sent in his composition sealed, and marked only by a letter. A jury of about thirty gentlemen, professors and amateurs, and that class of West-end habitues whose judgment would, perhaps, be of no great value as to a s ymphony, but who perfectly understand a quadrille, bad been duly empanelled, arid were placed at the upper end of the room nearest the orchestra. A tolerably miscellaneous audience occupied the and the body of th e h a ll. The galleries quadrilles were performed, after each had been so far identified by the display of its letter, under the con ductorship of Mr. E. Laurent. Each quadrille, ac cording to the condition of competition, was preceded by an introduction, and each subject was a distinct and original melody. As a whole, the compositions were, without an exception, capitally adapted for dance music; and the merits of several—of A, F, and 13, in particular—appeared to us to be very much on a par. Spirit and dash style, here and there no little ingenuity of instrumentation, and piquant ori ginality of treatment, were the best qualities of the compositions. Their faults were over brassyness, and an occasional meagreness and commonplace of melody very far h o wever from being unred eeme d b y scat ter,cl melodic pasuges at once original and pretty. Several of the introductions were very creditable p i eces of writing . O n e of the best was the F quadrill e . The instrumental treatment of A was musicianlike arid trcand B was di st i ngu i shed by graceful e so i e os t , " a e nd a general briskness and happiness of style. The band was porfect. We have very rarely, it' ever, c on were sum attacked un ate playing with of h danceeher energy and y music. Il l e h a e r d more subjects a plomb whi c h were delightful —every effect was brought th oroug hl y out, and the light and shade given to perfection. At the close of the performance the votes of the jury were taken. Each gentleman wrote the letter attached to the quadrille he most sn proved of, and flung it into a hat, when there ap peared-13, 9 ; A, 6; F, 6; S, 4 ; M. 2 ; and 0, 2. The quadrilles had been played in the following order :—A, S, F, 0, M, B. The latter letter was then, of course, declared the winner ; and the enve lope attached to B having been opened, the successful competitor was found to be Mr. J. R. Tattoo, to whom the premium was at once handed over, amid the applause of the audience. We may add that the worst composition of the six forms a brisk and ex cellent dancing set of quadrilles.

Of 491 canisters opened to-day 437 were condemned, their contents being, if possible, worse than any before exposed, and 54, being con sidered good enough to pass were distributed to the poor of the port.

Yesterday morning considerable commotion took place amongst the officials in Newgate, at the discovery that Henry Martin Flaunagen, who had been committed for trial from Clerkenwell Police-court on a charge of frau dulently obtaining a sum of 11. 3s. 6d. from a Mrs. White, under the pretence that he was clerk to Mr. lorry, the barrister, to defend her son at the Clerken well sessions, had been discovered dead in the water closet attached to his cell, having committed self-de struction in a most extraordinary and determined keen ness It appears that the unfortunate deceased, who was 62 ) . ears of age, had, at the usual hour, 7 o'clock, was be" let out of his cell into the yard, for the purpo se of h ing, being provided with a bucket. After the turnkey had loft him, there being but little water in the cistern, and ono of the workmen usually employed in the gaol p a ssing through the yard, he induced him to _fill the bucket or pail with water, under the pre tence that ho have then watched wanted to wash himself. He must his opportunity, taken the pail into t he cell, and at onco ues e, bY placing proceeded to carry out his deadly p himself on the closet seat, the pailr of water b e i rg on the floor, and then, tying a handker chie f completely covering his head, and tightly fastened round his neck, at once plunged his head to the bottom of the pail. Being in a perpendicular position, be wris .. at once deprived of all power, and no doubt svas speedily suffocated, as no very considerable period had elapsed before ho was dis on the turnkey re-entering the covered iu that position, ward. Every attempt w!ls made to restore animation, lite being quite extinct. As soon as but without e ffset, the circumstances w ere known, it b e i ng the first day of the Central Grisliest Court Session, several members of the Court of Aldermen, the visiting rota, were soon on the spot, an d the subject underwent a strict inquiry. The deceased, who had bt en fur several years known at every police -court throughout the metropolis, aud the subject of whose conduct with respect to his cruel frauds upon t h e poor relations of prisoners, sometimes repro upon himself us an attorney, and at others as clerk to M r . 'lorry, or some other barrister, has been the subject o f severe animadversion by the judges and magistrates, is stated to have belonged to a most respectable family. In early life he was employed in the India House. Scene time ago the deceased declared that if sent for trial at the Old Bailey, ho would commit suicide s and he has kept his word.
