That was the general feeling of the twelnecinth `since, ' for the country remeuihcooeeund welltry a ra the miserable result 'of a like resuscitati on twelveera ago, and th e symptoms were no better in this y " case than in. the former. But the fatal exhaustion of the late Government was not simply owing to . those exter eat oauees which soon or late bring all our Admintstra• i tions to an end. That inevitable hoar might have been de ferred sumo years either by, more popular, measures, or by the acquisition of more talent, more energy , or even more promise in the Cabinet. It cannot be:li s guised that the late Government was a clique, andwas re solved to stand its ground as a clique against all th n country. par ties, all the interests, and all the people of this This might not be the fault of the chief, for th e imme diate cause of his fall was the meritorious dismissal of an insubordinate colleague, but there remained other colleague s equa lly un traceable, or utterly useless, and theyse. e who resented the fall of the brilliant and active Foreign Secretary felt that on the whole the surviving e members of the Cabinet were hardly worth so serious a loss. He had done much to redeem the closeness of the Administration, and when he was gon e i t was im possible not to feel that the family group was more wrapt ;in itself and self-sufficient than ever.

These warnings he would not take, and so provoked his-fall. To resign in this case wits tantamount t o calling Lord Derby into power, for the Que en h a d no other a l terna tive. Wh t a construction, then, would b e p ut upon t he conduct of a statesmen wh o , atter assisting in this way at the elevation of his rival should immediatelytake steps to drive that • l from ' rival power with ' • • out waiting for his measures, or any equiva lent declar at i on of policy?

B - LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS The following testimonial another proof of the great Bill. 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 tho public who may be similarly affected. "About twenty years since I was first attacked by rhetunatic gout In my hands and feet. I had previously been subjectgd to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, In the 18th Hussars, I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential, relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by tir.se who know Annul. 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 oat 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 dii ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to we is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that. cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree 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."

The loyal disposition of British subjects is never slow when the liberties and institutions of the country aro threatened; the rifle movement, spontaneous on the part of patriotic citizens, having gained the approval of the Lord Lieutenant, and secured the plea= sure of her Gracious Majesty the Queen, Rifle Associations are form ing in all large cities and provincial towns ; on ever 3 hand the ques tion is asked —" Where can the most 'suitable dress for Captains, Officers, or Privates in Rifle Companies be secured ?" No house in the kingdom can equal E. MOSES and SON in this department ; their special arrangements for this purpose being on the most corn ph te and magnificent scale. Orders for the uniform of any Rifle association in the Kingdom can be completed in much less time than at any other House; facilities belonging' to E. MOSES and SON'S establishments in co , sequenee of their gigantic trade and immense capital. The experience E. MOSES and SON , have had in devising the most, approved military styles of DRESS, has enabled them to produce the most magnificent .specimens in the established Rifle style, accompanied by the most .Perfect , fit, whilethe greatest comfort in movement and exercise is attain ed b y the pe culiar c haracter of the cut. The prices adopted by E. MOSES and SON being very considerably lower than any house in the em- • pire for CLOTHING, HATS, HOSIERY, BOOTS, and SHOES, &c., and GENER AL OUTFITTING to all parts of the world, the same economical charges will Ce made for Rifle equipment:sup. plied at their Establishments in London, or forwarded t 9 any provin cial town in the Kingdom.

Only within a few tt s em a p t, ts an t d o reduce him to a position in the agricultural scale where ho could indulge his inventive genius with less damage to the cause, or rather with less annoyance to the old faf,hioned believers in Protecti on . V ague, then, as Mr. Disraeli 's principles have been in opposition, ho can only assure us that the policy he now aims at is in con formity with them. This hoped-for realisation of vague wishes and evar-changing schemes is hoped for "at no distant time," say five years or so, and under one important, condition " with the concurrence of the country." What does all this come to? Nothing more than that if next year, or ten years hence, the country expresses a decided wish that Mr. Disraeli and his colleagues would do something fur the agriculturists, in some form or other; they will be quite r:ady to attend to that call, and will do what they can; they do not exactly know what, or, at least, theY do not venture to say. While this pledge, though a step in ad vance of Lord Derby, admits of almost any interpre tation that the scale of the fulfilment may hereafter re quire, the words that follow are far more propitiatory than exact. "We shall endeavour," says Mr. Disraeli, to terminate that strife of classes which of late years has exercised so pernicious an influence over the welfare of this kingdom; to accomplish those remedial measures which great productive interests, suffering from unequal taxation, have a right to demand from a just Govern ment," &c. The allusion to the strife of classes will provoke a smile even from many a friendly reader, for who has provoked this pernicious strife with such ardour and effect as the Right Hon. Gentle man, himself, and what other atmosphere, haft. he found more propitious for the display of his peculiar powers? But if that strife of classes is ever to be terminated, it will not be by restoring the iniquity which occasioned that strife, for if anything would ever divide classes in this country beyond reconciliation, and leave no chance of a just and honourable peace, it would be a tax on foreign corn. Little as we like angry and gratuitous menaces about Lord Derby's " order," and we know not what besides, we are. bound to express our conviction that if henceforth another corn-law be written in tho Statute-book, the page will be torn out much more rudely than the last, and without particular care to spare the context, whatever that context may happen to be. That is our conviction, and though Mr. Disraeli may not be quite so sure on that point, yet we doubt not he would much rather not run the risk, and will advise his colleagues against it. At all events, he knows to a certainty that no five-shilling duty will terminate the strife he professes to de plore. Indeed, in the next words he intimates that his idea of agricultural relief is not of that gross and simple nature, when ho pledges himself to " remedial mea sures," necessary, as he says, to equalize the pressure of taxation on "great productive interests." This is the sort of talk we have often been treated with lately, but by this time it is a farmer's own fault if he does not see, or will not see, what it means. It only means that the new Government will do what it can, but, instead of staking its existence, and the hopes of the cause, on so desperate a die as another corn-law, it will attempt " remedial measures" at "no great distance of time," and " with the concurrence of the country." So if the time and the people at large are propitious we may ex pect to see a little benevolent dabbling attempted with the rates, and perhaps with the taxes paid by the agri culturist. That is all that this address need signify. It may of course be meant for more, but if more were really hoped the farmer may depend on it more would have been expressed. HERALD.—That the position taken. by Lord Derby on Friday night was a judicious one is made tolerably clear by the vexation of the free-trade journals. They hoped that his Lordship would have committed one of two blunders—either the disclaiming all intention of ever reverting to protection, and so have alienated the agriculturists throughout the three kingdoms—or else, by announcing an immediate campaign, at all hezlrds, for the restoration of the corn-laws, as the one solo ob ject of his accession to office, and so arousing the fiercest passions of the Leaguers in every manufacturing district. But he committed neither of these mistakes. He most frankly and unreservedly avowed his adherence to those opinions for which he quitted office in 1846; and of course left it to be naturally inferred that he would readily restore protection whenever he saw the public mind pre pared 'for it. But he did not go the absurd length of making that one thing the sole object of his public life; or of declaring that the whole affairs of the State must stand still till this controversy was decided. What, then, is the present position of the ques tion? I: is this; The farmers must feel that they have not only the security of Lord Derby's honour, but alto of all the other noblemen and gentlemen who have joined him in the present Administration; that all will be done for the at elenituralte tatereettrthtta-einebiaikenee , None, surely, can look over the names of the-prities forming tho new Ministry, and doubt thin. If the farmers do not get justice and fair play from such a Government as the present, where else are they to seek for it? Granted that even this Cabinet cannot restore protection at a word —granted that the virtues of pa tience and endurance will sill further be needed—et least this is tolerably certain, that it will, it must be, the sincere desire of the members of the present Admi nistration to render full justice to the cultivators of the soil. If this cannot easily and readily bealone, that is a very simple ; s e tt a , therefore, which may be lamented on b ot h s id es . Through out all the concerns of life we are cont i nua ll y o bli ge d to see how much more easy it is to comm i t a wrong than th er in e g fo i r t e, is m t a o y y r i e e a ld son to ._ temptation, and how difficult to escape from it when oncetoredress rcs involved. dsit—h The ow a agriculturist,, u s u m ably be called upon to have patience. We may justly ask them to repose confidence in the members of the present Administration, not merely because those gen tlemen say that they are the farmers' friends, but be cause, from the very nature of things, they must be so. 2. And now, turning to our bitterest opponents, we ask them, calmly and seriously, what they have to complain of ? They tell us—(see the Times, Daily News, &c.) — that " the people of England will not have a renewal of the bread-tax." In every variety of form and phrase they reiterate this assurance, vowing it is a point quite beyond all dispute that the renewal of the corn-laws is impossible—that a return to the old system is utterly and for ever out of the question. Well, gentlemen —we may reply—supposing all this to be true, what have you to be alarmed at? Lord Derby has more than a dozen times assured you of his conviction, that except by the consent of the people of England a return to any sort or kind of protection is wholly impracticable. You reply, that the people never will give that consent. Well, if the case be so, then protection will never be re vived. Bat, suppose you should be mistaken—suppose that the people should come to the conviction that what you call free trade is a delnsion—then protection will natu rally revive, and you will venture to say that it ought not? Are you to be the sole and infallible judges of what is for the public welfare? May not the people themselves be allowed to have some voice in the matter? But possibly some angry free trader may say, " Well, but your new Ministry is going to rouse the country on this question of protection, and is going to convulse England from end to end with the collision of class in terests in a general election. Will this be the work of any Ministry, Whig or Tory ? Was it not quite noto rious, a month ago, that at the next general 'election— which must shortly take place—the farmers, for their own preservation, must and would make protection a prominent topic on every hustings? Was this the fault of Lord Derby or of Mr. Disraeli? Have they been ac tively engaged in stirring up this party,strife? Resit not rather been the more common complaint with the warmer partisans of protection, that their leaders have stood aloof, and have declined even to use the ordinary means of sustaining the zeal and courage of their followers? Can anything be more certain than that the cause of protection does not rest en the will or encouragement of individuals, but on the felt necessities and injuries of the whole body of the agriculturists of the throe king doms? The course of events, then, is merely inevitable; and being so, it ought to be regarded with equenimity, whether by Protectionists or Free-traders. Surely the the following propositions will hardly be denied:- 1. Protection cannot be re-enacted in a House of Com mons, a majority of the members of which are pledged f to free trade. 2. Free trade cannot be persevere d is the people, at a general election, shall return a majority of members pledged to .protection. 3 . It was the d clared purpose of the agriculturists, at the next g eneral e lection, let who would be in. power, to strive to return a majority of men pledged to protection. 4. To the d ec ision of such a majority all must bow who are n ot prepared to to set themselves above the law an n d the co otions aad s tit u tion, and to declare that their own fancies ought to be the only rule of their °beat cc BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1852. — We are requested to state that Messrs.

BRIGHTON, FEB. 27.—Mr. W. Coningham, of Kemp Town, presided over nearly 1,000 persons, consisting mainly of the employes in the Brighten ' Railway Company's workshops, at the Town Hall, last night, assembled for the purpose of hearing the statements of Messrs. Usher and Newton, who at tended as a deputation from the Amalgamated So ciety of Engineers. The great feature of the meeting was the attendance of Mr. S. Laing, chairman of the directors of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Rzilway, who took part in the discussion. The CHAIRMAN stated that all doubt, if any existed, as to the merits of the dispute, must have been en tirely removed by the issue of the "declaration" which the masters now required their workmen to sign, and which he further made bold to assert that none but a tyrant would have dared to attempt to enforce.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Coningham read the "declaration," which prohibits the workmen from joining or contributing to any combination which seeks to interfere with any master's arrangements. This was a direct interference with the rights of the subject, particularly after the highest legal au thority had, in a recent trial, declared it to be the right of workmen to combine. Even the organ of the masters, the Weekly Dispatch, had declared against them on this point. An erroneous impression prevailed that there was 'no ge neral combination among masters ; but there was the very strong authority of Adam Smith for be lieving that masters were in a constant and sys tematic combination. This Mr. Coningham sup ported by reading a passage from the " Wealth of Nations." And not only had he himself . verified the truth of this in the north, but he bad found that sec tions of the masters were often mixed up with tke strikes of the men. Mr. Coningham then went into the history of the dispute, and contended that ten hours' work was as much as ought to be required of a man, and that .it was not the system of piecework generally that was objected to, as that pernicious practice by which employers attempted to get extra work at the ordinary rate. We constantly read in the Times, the Daily News, and other papers of the "Engineers' Strike;" but it could not be too often stated that it was not the men's strike, but the mas ters' closing of their doors, and thereby punishing a number of men ~who had nothing ~to do with the dispute. Mr. SAUNDERS, having denied that the E xecu ti ve Council of the Zmalgamated Society had ever re quired a reduction of the hours of labour to eight, or the discharge of unskilled labour, moved— " That in the opinion of this meeting, any interfer ence on the part of the employers, or any attempt to control the expenditure of their workmen's earnings, or to punish them for contributing towards objects they may not approve, is an act of iojastice—(Loud ap plause)—and such as no body of artisans ought to sub mit to." Mr. llmincocK having seconded the motion, Mr. USHER commented on the "declaration" of the Central Association of Masters. In it they de clared themselves against all combinations which in terfered with the natural course of trade. But what he asked were railway companies but combinations interfering with the natural course of trade ? The engineers did not object to piecework, but only to piecework the price of which was fixed by the; em ployer, and over which the workmen had no influence. As for signing the " declaration" put out by the masters, the men would never do it ; they were de termined to stand out till the masters came and rea sonrd with them. Mr. Memos (employed in the Brighton work shops) said he came fhrward to correct a misappre hension. He agreed that piecework was a bad sys tem, and so was systematic overtime, and those who originated the dispute had to complain of both. But in the Brighton Company neither obtained; there Was no piecework, and the only overtime required was when cases of accident or emergency arose, and many men would be out of woik the next day if the necessary work was not done at night. For this the men were paid " a time and a half," and the men were satisfied. Why, then, serve notices on the com pany against what did not exist here—piecework and systematic overtime, and say that after a certain day overtime must be paid double? It was unjust to the company who, by offering to rem a i n neu t ra l, h a d done themselves honour. As for putting men on five days a week, the reason was that in winter light was .. expensive,- toad leas work was requised, and it 'was thought "getter to - take off a day from each than alto gether discharge a portion.—(Hisses and cheers.) Mr. NEWTON said, if th ere was no thi n g to com plain of in Brighton the men would not complain. The circulars were sent to all the employers, that there who worked the evils ought to discontinue them, and those who did not would not be worse for know ing that the men wished others to follow their own good example. The sole point in dispute in Brighton was that the men felt inclined to assist those in other places who were not fairly dealt with, and the direc tors said they should not. But the fact of twelve men having been discharged and the rest put on five days a week showed that continuous work could net be secured in Brighten, and as the men might next week leave and go to London it was their interest to support the Amalgamated Society, which sought to get for the workmen as good regulations in other places as existed in Brighton. The directors could not surely complain of this ; and as for the manne r in which the men disposed of their wages, the directors had no more right to interfere with that then the men had to interfere with the use of the locomotive for which they had been paid. The men had not refused to work overtime on emergen cies, and they had not claimed double time for doing so. They, then, bad been neutral, and if the company had not reduced the work to five days, in order to deprive the men of the means of subscrib ing a day's wages to their brethren, then they had observed a neutrality.—(Laughter.) But on the authority of Mr. _Fielding, he stated that the reduc tion to five days was made to deprive them of the means of so subscribing. The over-hours' system was an evil, and those who suffered from it asked its discontinuance. For a month the masters took no notice of the letter. A deputation from Lancashire then went to London and made statements which were untrue, and then the Masters' Company charged the Amalgamated Society with wanting to discharge unskilled hands and to reduce the hours of labour to fight, which the society had never contem plated. They contradicted the assertion, and the masters in London then said they had been misled y thl Lancashire deputation, and that if they lied would known that the question was reduced abolitionto_the of the overtime system and of piecework they masters not have closed their shops. . The Anaa .. e charged them with other things which going to do.—(A. laugh.) samated Society t ) they were that they might not be destitute when out of work. was a benefit society, paying while in work, in order It was better to keep in employment than to keep them walking the streets in constrained idleness. li e had seen men working eight and nine days a wee k while others were idle ; and, after all, the overti me This Much ap pay would only pay for stimulants.—(Cheers.). was the reason for opposing overtime, and this wa s the head and front of their offending. as any one in then came forward, an o d p was much Mr. LAING 1 uded As he believed, he said, that he P a • was ;AS sincere a friend to the working classes the room, be did not like to let the especially as he saw so .many wor ki ng men p resent,ass with which be so many con n ected with the company * . c h ' be w as connected, without offering a few words of what he conscientiously believed to ba good advice. lie saw no reasons why the employers and employed should not meet and discuss matters- between them, for much of the fully and fairly _g on both sides arose from misunderstanding. general feeling of the capitalist towards workmen was that of the tyrant to the slave Now, speaking for himself, and a great man . other employers and capi talists, that was a mistake. There might men in the flock among• rich men as well as poor men, but the greater orti • on of the ca pitalists earnestly desired t o elevate• the condition of the working men. Speaking for ,of labour, he as an employer said honestly that his sympathies were all with the classes, working clo He had " known what it was to work his way in the world. Every farthing he had he owed to his own exertions. His greatest pride was to know that he had been a working man himself, and he wished for nothing more than to see every working man in a condition to elevate himself socially and morally, and to take advantage of opportunities of Ms belief, ad, vancernent.—(Applause.) then, was, that if th e y t rus ted to combinations and associations they would be grievously mistaken, end find them selves very much t h e worse for them. Th e real ques tion at issue was , _ n ot whether overtime or p i ecewor k was good or bad, but whether the best mode of ele vating, the working men was for each one to stand alone or, to enter into con a bi vat i,,_ 4 ,,,, , which would be sure to be met by combination o n th e ot h er s id e —in fact, a battle between the two classes. If they "- tered into the history of trades unions they would find t hat in the countries where the working m en stood highest there were the fewest of these trades unions, a nd where they were th e most ready to c ombine their ren dition was the lowest. ( . Whatarethecou ntries ~) The Country wh ere the condition of the labouring classes stood highest, both for intelligence ' ence and in a PecungirY way, was the traitod § 4 tea of pee" tics. t was a well-known fact that in the United !States combinations were, compraratively speaking, f e w. Again, in the opposite extreme of the scale is France. No man who has been in France would state that the condition of the French mecha nic and working man, on an average, vsas as good 25 in England, and in France they did alm os t everything by combination. It was the country of combination. Again, would anyone say that the average standard of intelligence is as high in Ireland as in Scotland end America ? Ireland had been the country o f trades unions. The only place where he ever heard that a strike carried the day was Dublin. And what was the result '? They drove the trade away a n d ruined the town. In the United States the working classes were in a much better position. The question was distinctly between combination and individua self-reliance. What had raised all this difficulty ? A council of seven 'in London wished to dictate to alt the employers and trades of the kingdom what the terms and conditions thereof shall be. Mr. Newton had tried to get over the passage in their report about the determinetion to rule the destinies of the trade ; and he did not wonder at it, because that passage con tained the whole pith of the matter. To use a vulgar expression, be " let the cat out of the bag." Seven men, representing a certain society, announced their determination to rule the destinies of their trade and order how it was to be carried out ; and they issued a general order to every establishment, with out exception, including t hi s Brighton Railway, ,without inquiring how far it was applicable, that piecework shall cease and overtime be paid for double. It had been admitted th at it was not reasonable in this establishment. There might be establishments where overtime was carried to the fullest extent; there might be establishments where piecework dad been enforced injuriously against th e men. Very well. On these establishments bring public opinion to bear; go to Manchester, an d de _ nounce these establishments if you like. B ut Why issue general orders to people who had nothing to do with the dispute ? Why were the 20,000 men and their families requiring support? Because the council issued an order which they declined to withdraw or modify. No shop was closed till they were called on to withdraw it and refused. In that report about ruling the destinies of the trade there was a statement of accounts, and among the charges was one for money paid to " pickets' of men for watching certain establishments where the orders of that committee had not been obeyed. They knew what picketing men were—men hired to go to establishments and coerce or intimidate those who were willing to take work on terms that other men bad declined. Was that the sort of thing that Englishmen approved of or would submit to ? lie believed that the Amalga mated Society, in taking this matter up, had been working not half so much against the interests of the employers as against the interest of the men themselves ; and mark him, the result would be —he did not expect they would believe him, because the truth would not be palatable—the end of this business would be that this strike would be defeated,. as all similar strikes had been hitherto.—(Cries of " Oh, ne," and laughter.) If it became a question of combination against combination, capital is stronger than labour, and, right or wrong, labour would go to the wall. They had brought it on themselves by playing the game of combination, and the longer the strik e l as t e d t h e worse it would be for the men, because a great number of men would be brought into the trade, and the consequence would be a fall of wages. They would be told to the last that they were going on nourishingly, that they were carrying all before them, that their masters must submit; and some fine morning they would find the bubble burst, their funds wasted, their leaders com pelled to emigrate, and the game over.—(Cries of " No.") Such had been the history of every great strike in this country, and it would be the history of every one that was attempted. In trying to elevate their condition, they would have to do what every man who bad raised himself to the upper classes had done, by individual self-reliance, by exercising economy, by denying themselves luxuries, and even comforts, till they had accumulated the means. And to a class receiving wages as high as theirs, if it were possible for other classes to live on half the amount, and when prices were so much reduced, it was possible, by exercising economy, to save such a sum as would make them compara tively independent.—(Hisses, and a cry of " Never.") And when they bad got this, not in the funds of some society not under their control, but in a bank, or in some investment where they could draw it out to-morrow, they would be independent of masters. —(l iisses.) Thek CHAIRMAN—I must intreat you to hear Mr. Laing. It is an important thing to have an interview with an employer. Mr. LAING continued—Don't be led away with the idea of obtaining impossibilities. You cannot insure great comfort to everybody for the labour of a few hours a day. Who art: the working men who have bettered their condition? Are they men who have taken a leading part in agitating in strikes, or are they men who have trusted to. themselves, acted for thernse:yes ?—(hisses.) I give you this advice, be cause I am a sincere friend to you, and don't like you to be here listening to what I consider bad advice.— (Laughter.) 1 don't expect you to believe me now. —(" I should think not.") But I have discharged inv duty by telling you what I know to be truth ; arid by and bye, when you see how things turn out, as I know they must turn out, you may think of what I have said. Mr. NEWTON said there were few trades unions in America, because the necessity of them did not exist ; and France was in a bad state because their trades unions, not being legalised, were secret societies ; Ireland owed her wretchedness,not so much to trades unions as to the aristocratic combinations in Orange lodges. As for seven men dictating to the employer; that Was not true. They only carried into effect the of 12,000. Mr. Laing was wrong in sayi ng tiria charge for pickets was in the recent rep or t. N o o d r te i r e tsh h e adbeen paid during the last three or four years. Mr. Laing said that strikes were always un successful, and that this would be unsuccessful also. He hoped so ; for this was a strike of the employer s against the men.—(Laughter.) The CHAIRMAN said that no great measure hall ever been effected without combination. n ow wag Catholic emancipation carried ? By combination. O'Connell WAS the Newton of the Catholic " Amalga mation Society." How was free trade carried ? By a combination of the very employers who now de rtefution by th e Deemed combination in their men. — (year, hear.)
