A letter from Rome, in the Cattolico of Genoa, contains the following passage : " It is said that in his autograph letter to the Holy Father, Prince Louis Napoleon has avowed his senti ments of filial devotedness in the strongest terms, and declares he will make every effort to pat down socialism. It is added, that an eminent personage having waited on the Prince, had a long conversation with him, in which the Prince said to him—' Understand me well ; I am of the religion of the Pope ; I know I am only here provisionally, but I hope I shall remain here long enough to stifle the two monsters of socialism and of the revolution.' These words have been frequently re peated in well-informed circles." FRENCH RAILWAY TRAFFIC.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF THE NUMBER OF BRITISH SHIPS. The East India and China Association have pub lished their usual comparative statement of the number of British ships, with their aggregate tonnage , entered inwards and cleared outwards from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter in the years 1850 and 1851. According to the statement of vessels entered in wards, the increase in favour of the latter period is 17 vessels, with 24,278 tonnage—the difference be tween 926 vessels, with 442,793 tonnage, in 18.50, and 943 vessels, with 467,071 tonnage, in 1851. The port of London figures for an increase of 12 vessels, with 15,563 tonnage, the number of ves sels entered inwards being 597, with 288,849 tonnage, for 1850; and 609 vessels, with 304,412 tonnage, for 1851. In the case of Liverpool there is also an increase of 18 vessels, with 12,651 tonnage —the difference between 248 vessels, with 1 9 3,834 tonnage, and 266 vessels, with 136,494 tonnage. Bristol and Hull show a decrease of not less than 14 vessels, with 4,931 tonnage, 22 vessels, with 8,461 tonnage, having entered inwards in 1850, while for the later year the return does not exceed 8 vessels, with 3,530 tonnage. Clyde and the other ports ex hibit a very slight alteration, the increase being one vessel, with 995 tonnage, or the difference between 59 vessels, with 21,640 tonnage, and 60 vessels, with 22,635 tonnage. Reviewing the whole of the sta tistics connected with vessels entered inwards, it ap pears that the chief increase has been in arrivals from Madras, China, New South Wales ' and Cal cutta, and the decrease in arrivals from Mauritius, Bombay, Singapore, and Penang. The statement of vessels cleared outwards shows a decrease of 222 vessels, with 78,346 tonnage—the difference between 1,173 vessels, with 662,495 ton nage, and 951 vessels, with 484,149 tonnage. In no instance has there been an increase, compared with the former year. Taking the figures in the order presented, London is returned for a decrease of 36 vessels, with 15,511 tonnage—the difference between 584 vessels, with 291,741 tonnage and 548 vessels, with 276,230 tonnage. The decline at Liverpool is represented by 21 vessels, with 2,095 tonnage—the difference between 331 vessels, with 167,937 ton nage, and 310 vessels, with 165,842 tonnage. Bristol and Hull are returned for a decrease of 7 vessels, with 2,889 tonnage, the clearances in 1850 being 13 vessels, with 6,148 tonnage, and in 1851 6 vessels, with 3,259 tonnage. In connexion with Clyde and the other ports, the large decrease is shown of 168 vessels, with 57,851 tonnage—the difference between 245 vessels, with 96,669 tonnage, and 87 vessels, with 38,818 tonnage. The chief instances of decrease have occurred in connexion with departures for Mauritius, Bombay, China, Calcutta, Madras, Cey lon, Arabia, Singapore, Penang, and New South Wales. OVER-TIME. We have no desire to encourage working over-time: employers, as a matter of course, never resort to it un less forced, inasmuch as they unquestionably get less work for their money than in the ordinary course. But that any society, "amalgamated" or otherwise, shou ld endeavour to establish as a law that masters shall not allow operatives to work over-time,—that full-grown responsible men shall not be permitted to work over-time, —seems to be scarcely credible. It is perfectly well known that the men regard permission to wont over time as a privilege, and we are compelled to regard the demand simply as a war-cry and a pretext on toe part of those who act for the operatives. With what class et men la this prevention to stop? An d why, if a " resoluti on " can settle the matter, should not eight hours, six hours, four hours daily, be long enough for wor? Would that it mi g ht be sot And may tney not employ any of their over-time in any other calling with a view to i mproving their means? Certainly not; because in that case the members of the calling so invaded could, on the same grounds as those set forth by the " Amalgamated Society of Machinists," at once in terfere and prevent them. Those, of any class, who are not workers in over- t i me, have little chance of effecting for them33l7es an advance. Let them advise their fellow workmen to case w orking over-time and to spend the evenings in improving their minds: let them warn them against accepting goad employment at piece-work (which tends to sot the i ndustrious and skilful above the idle and unskilful) if they will; but to say that men shall not do one or accept the otherin this the 19th century—this the era of free -trad e — seems absurd and i l eomprehenaible.—Builder. THE BANBURY MURDER. This atrocious crime has caused an intense excitement here, fur, iu addition to the peculiar circumstances of the act itself, the deceased was highly respected in the town and neighbourhood. During the whole of Sunday the scone of the catastrophe was visited by continuous crowds of the curious. On Monday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held at the Crown public-house, Wilscct, by John Churchill, Esq., of Deddington, coroner for North Oxfordshire. A inquiry touching respectable jury having been s worn to make touching the death of Giovanni Kalabergo, they pro ceeded to an out-house, where the body of the deceased had teen conveyed, an d where a post mortem examina tion of the head had' been rn Ade by Mr. Thomas Harris, surgeon, of Wardington. Two shots had taken effect, one entering the frontal bone, and the other at the back of the head, which last caused instantaaeous death. The following witnesses were thou called: — Jane Sawell, who had known the deceased for 40 years, was coming from Banbury on Saturday about half-past five in the evening, in the van of John Ward. She got out to walk up Wilscot-hill, and, about half -wa y up, Stb7/ botnething lying on the road which she thought to be a coat; but, taking hold of it, found it to be a dead man. The fingers were then cold, but the body was warm. By the light of a lante rn she recognised the deceased to be Giovanni Kalabergo. Previous to this she raet a cart which she knew to belong to the deceased. It was empty and unattended. A baker's cart wa s a s hort distance in advance of this vehicle. Het no one on the road. There was a pool of blood near the body. She saw no weapon. James Ward, the carrier, corroborated the evidence of the first w it ness , and a person, named Ryrie, went to Wilseot for a cart, w hich being provided the body was removed to th e village. Another hat, besides that be longing to the deceased, having been found, witness went in search o f ano th e r man along the road, but nothing was seen. Did not meet anybody walking on the road before the baker's cart before mentioned, nor after that until the body was found. The ground was hard sad there wa s a li tt l e snow, b ut it was too dark to notice footmarks. Mr. Thomas Harris, surgeon, of Wardington, was next examined. He had made a post mortal' ex amination. Ho found a bullet had passed into the brain through the posterior inferior angle of the right parietal bone, and passing through the brain, was lodged under th e J ura mater, a b o ut the centre of the left parietal bone. There was like wise a contused lacerated wound on the forehead. The ball entered near the right ear, and wa s l o d ge d an i nc h above the left ear. There was no doubt the weapon was fired close to the deceased's head, as th e cravat was ...burned. The external laceration behind the ear was an inch square, quite black with gunpowder. This wound was the cause of death. The lacerated wound on the forehead might have been caused by a shot from a pistol; the ball might have glanced along the scalp; a bullet was found is the roll of his coat. The inquest was then adjourned until Friday. The young man c h a rged with the offence is about 24 years of age, and has been in England only two months, during which time he has assisted his uncle in businsss. He cannot speak English with fluency. At present no evidence has been adduced affecting him, nor was he pre sent at the inquest. THE SUN, BANBURY, TUESDAY EVENING.—The person charged with the commission of this crime, Giovanni Guillaume Kalaberge, was brought up for examination to-day be fore Colonel North, Revs. W. Lloyd and C. F. Wyatt, and H. Norris and Aubrey Cartwright, Esqra., county magistrates. The prisoner had been confined since Sunday at a public-house in Wroxton, having two constables con stantly with him. However, about five o'clock yester day he managed to jump from a casement window, a distance of 25 feet from the ground. In the fall be broke the small bone of his right leg, still he contrived to run a quarter of a mile before he was captured by the land lord, who had gone in pursuit. ie was then taken back to his old qaart e r s , w h e re he was heavily ironed by Mr. Walker, of Banbury Gaol, who had been sent for. At the examination to-day the prisoner's leg was in s pli n t s , and his left arm (the wrist of which was sprained) in a sling, Evidence was called to prove that the deceased was last seen alive in the company of the prisoner. A magistrate remarked that as the evidence now to be brought forward w ould, doubtless, seri ous ly a ff ec t the prisoner, it was his opinion no further steps should be taken until a proper interpreter was present. Mr: Francillon, solicitor for the executors of the de ceased, acquiesced in the course proposed. MARKET IN TEL LIGEN CE. (From the London New Price Current, Jan. 13.)

Mr: PAYNE called the attention of the Court to the case of the individual who was committed into custody on Monday by the Learned Judge on a charge of frau dulently obtaining 10/. from a person named Banks. The Learned Counsel said he was informed that the ac cused was on Monday taken before a magistrate, who remanded the case until Friday, and that Banks would be then forthcoming; but his object in mentioning the matter was to rectify a misstatement which was made on Monday, and which had appeared in the public now, newspapers. I; wa s then stated that a clergyman had instructed the attor ne y who em p l oyed this clerk to de fend the case on behalf of the So c i e ty f or t h e P rotect i on of Young Female' ; on behalf of th a t soc i e ty, he was requested to deny that, and to say that the cler gyman in question was not known to the society at all. The Learned JUDGE said he bad no doubt what Mr. Payne had said would be made public. Willi= Wegner, Phili p Kess l er, an d POLICE INTELLIGENCE the Germans char ge d w i t h h av i n g MANSION - HO USE'.

The justice• room was crowde d . Mr. Roy, the solicitor for the London and Westmin ster Bank, applied to the Lord Mayor to allow the case to stand over for a week, there being other witnesses whom the police considered it necessary to bring for ward, and whom they expected to be able to produce at that time. Mr. Bsllantine, for Kessler, said he had no objection to the remand, and expressed is persuasion that he would be able to show, to the satisfaction of the Bench, that his client was not at all concerned in the transaction. A Solicitor, who appeared for Krakauer, submitted twat mereth e o n t th o a t ec h rt iagainst him except the the company of one of The LORD MAYOR desired that Badcock, one of the Policemen who had watched some of the prisoners, should state what he had to say about the other evidence which it might be necessary to bring forward. Badeock said, persons r shhoaan(vi having upon being sworn —.I believe, from the information I have received, that I shall be able in a -weak to produce evidence to connect the whole of the prisoners with the transaction of uttering the cheque. Mr. Lewis, who attended us solicitor for Wagner, said 'there was no case against his client, the only matter *calculated to excite too least suspicion being the very vague and uncertain evidence of the female attendant at a e b r n ege end proved.se en in 'the coffee-house in the Strand, who, he could show by 'gross-examination, had made a mistake. He could show that Wagner had not written the paper which she bad said she saw the person she waited upon in the coffte louse write, and that the identity of Wagner was by no means established. Sarah Dunk, the waitress who gave evidence on the last examination, was then called, and, her testimony upon that occasion having been read over, Mr. Lewis proceeded to cross-examine her, but she did not vary in any resp-et from l i her t. former assertions. Upon her re-examination by Mr. Roy, sho said she 'did not see Wagner write, but she received from him the .piejlern L of p ow sp i e s r sa w id ith ho w n ri o t u in id g u Mr. Roy—There i s no doubt of that. My case is that ho did not write o n t h e paper; that he had the show that of the Wagner.paper alluded . to did not contain the handwriting paper ho handed to the young woman prepared for his u3e. __ The LORD MAYOR— I see no reason why I should not :re mand Wagner as we ll as the other p r i s oners. Gerber said ho h a d no counse l or s olicitor to defend . him. He considered t h at he was very cruelly dealt with, and ho pressed the Lord Mayor to discharge him. .He had, he said, gone to the London and Westminster .Bank by the direction of Mr. Sims, who had left the t o discharge him, aft er w ritten paper for hi m at the co ffee-house. He had been 'apprehended on the d ay h e pres ented the cheque, and s h a ving heard pre c i sely the same taken to Marlbor ough -street, P o lice-office, where th e .magistrate had thought proper evidence upon which 'the city authorities h ad detaine d him. He b e li eve d the against hi m by ,case was got up the police, and that if they had taken up another person whom they knew, they would probabl y h ave the r ight person ; but cer tainly tho person next to him (Wagner) was not the personlwho, in addr ess i ng him, pre tended The LORD M AYOR then remanded all the prisoners 'for a week. to be Mr. Sims. Jane Nolan, wh o 1 upon the charge of robbing a gentleman of banknotes to •me arncrint of 180/. was discharged. It had been ascer tained that the unfortunate prisuoer knew nothing at all has been three weeks in custody of the rubbery which - ' - ch was, in fact, committed by a girl • who had been seen in her company, but who had disap- I peered from London altogether ever since the offence was committed. WORSHIP-STREET Daniel MC -' I "Y, an athletic Irish labourer, was p laced at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with he following brutal maltreatment of his daughter M'Carthy, a c hild s i x years of age, and also with violently assaulting the police constables who effected his apprehension. A harness-maker named Dalton stated, that while ;passing through Wentworth-street, Whitechapel, about U 2 o'clock on the precaling day, his attentio n was at tracted by the cruel conduct the prisoner was pursuing towards his child, who was walking by his side, and whom, in the course of a few minutes, he sa w him strike so violent a blow upon the h e ad as to send her stagger ing against a brick wall. Upon recovering from the effects of tho blow the little girl hastened away as fast as she could from her father's clutches, and the prisoner immediately caught up two bricks, which he flung at her in rapid succession with the intention of bringing her down, but the ponderous missiles fortunately missed their object, and the child was rescued from further ill usage by the interposition of some of the bystanders, vs ho were so indignant at his infamous conduct that they detained him until the arrival of a constable, and then gave him into custody. A young man named Lane confirmed this evidence in its essential particulars, and also proved that just before the little girl had been illtreated in the manner deposed to he saw the prisoner, who was in a disgusting state of intoxication, beating the child about the head with great cruelty, and finally fell her to the ground. Taylor, a constable of the H division, stated, that on receiving an intimation of the way in which the little girl had been treated by her father he hastened to the spot, and there found the child crying very bitterly, with marks of blood upon her dress. On proceeding to take the prisoner into custody, however, he commenced a desperate resistance, flung him to the ground, and se verely kicked him, and it required the joint efforts of himself and several of the bystanders to overpower and secure him. Sims, another constable, also stated, that upon reach ing the station-house the prisoner conducted himself with such outrageous violence that they were compelled to handcuff him, but before succeeded in effecting their object ho commenced a furious attack upon the witness, and dealt him such a severe kick on the lower part of the stomach that he had been extremely sick ever since, and was still suffering severely from the erects of the injuries he had sustained. Oa being called upon for his defence the prisoner merely said that he had been drinking to such an extent that he had not the slightest recollection of anything that had taken place; and, it appears that his child had very fortunately escaped without any serious personal injury. Mr. D'EYNCOURT, who said that, had that not been the case, it was his decided intention to commit the pri soner for trial, sentenced him to pay a penalty of 3/. for the brutal assault upon his daughter, and a further pe nalty of 20s. for his attack upon the police, or in default to stand committed for six weeks to the House of Cor rection; to which, as he could not pay either penalty, he was shortly after removed in the van. CLERKENWELL. On Monday, just before Mr. Corrie left his seat on the bench, a young man of respectable appearance, who gave his name as Dunah, was placed at the bar, charged with having obtained money under false pre tences. Mr. Wakeling, solicitor, addressed the bench, and par ticularly called the attention of the worthy magistrate to the case. The prisoner at the bar had been ordered into the custody of Greig, an officer of the court, by Mr. Sergeant Adams, who directed that he should be brought into this court, in order that the charge made against him might be investigated. The Learned Gen tleman went on to state that two girls were tried that day before Mr. Sergeant Adams, the Assistant Judge at the Middlesex Sessions, and convicted on an indictment for robbing Mr. Carter, a farmer of Maldon, Essex. On the examination of the prisoners at Bow-street, the prisoner attended there for the prisoners, and he (Mr. Wakeling) for Mr. Carter, when the prisoner at the bar cross-examined the witnesses, representing himself as the clerk of Mr. Shattock, the solicitor, and that he was engaged by the Reverend Mr. Brassnell, who was se cretary to a charitable institution for the pro tection of women, and who had taken up the case of these girls. The prisoner at the examination requested a remand, which was granted; and sub sequently he called upon Banks, a brothel keeper, No. 3, Church-way, St. Pancras, and said that for 104 nothing more would be said about the matter, and Banks paid the 101. The facts having teen made known to the Court, and the prisoner having admitted the fact of receiving the 101. from Banks, and being ordered into custody by the Assistant-Judge, he (Mr. Wakeling) felt it to be his duty to appear and prosecute the case. Mr. Shattock and the Rev. Mr. Brassnell were both in attendance. The prisoner said he was clerk to Mr. Shattock. Mr. Shattock admitted this to be the fact. Mr. Whkeling—Did you authorize him to receive the 100 Mr Shattock said ho never authorized his clerk to receive the money. _ Mr. CORRIE inquired what had become of the girls? Mr. Wakeliug—They were convicted and sentenced to six months' imprisonment each. The prisoner said—l am clerk to Mr. Shattock; the Rev. Mr. Brassnell and myself have had great trouble is the case. Banks was anxious to trace the woman who let the room to Carter and the girls. Banks said, " I will give you 101. if you can find the woman who lot the room, in order to get rid of her. I used great exertion, which the Rev. Gentleman can testify, and I received the 101. fur private services performed, and did not receive it as costs. I wish Mr. Banks was here, and he would explain it all to the satisfaction of your wor ship. Greig, the officer of the court, said that he took the prisoner into custody under the directions of Mr. Ser• geant Adams, who received a communication frum Mr. Ballantine, the barrister, that it was a serious case, and required investigation. Mr. Courtin—lt will be necessary to have Banks here. Mr. Shattock again (in answer to Mr. Wakeliug) said —I never authorised the prisoner to receive 101., and he never accounted fur it to me. Mr. Brassnell came to me and consulted with me, and wished me to attend on the part of the institution to which he is secretary. I told him that my olerk (the prisoner) should attend the ex amination and do his best. I always found the prisoner to be honest. Mr. Wakeling here said the prisoner's name was Dunn, and not Dunab. He was in the habit of going about and being paid for singing at concerts in public houses. _ _ _ The prisoner denied this, although h e a d m itt e d th a t he had sung a comic song or so at a public-house near his office. His real name was Dunah, but for shortness soma persons called him Dann. Mr. Wakeling said that this was a case of importance, and under the judgment of Mr. Sergeant Adams re quired full investigation. He would ask for a summons to compel the attendance of Banks to give evidence. • Mr. CORRIE said that under all the circumstances he would offer no opinion in the case. As it was sent be fore him by Mr. Sergeant Adams for investigation, he felt bound to investigate it; but at that late hour, and the whole of the evidence not being present, he must re mand the case to a future day, but he would accept bail for the prisoner's appearance. Prisoner—Mr. Shattock will be my bail. Mr. Wakeling suggested to have twa bail. Mr. Shattock said . he would hav e no o bj ect i on, if it would not compromise him in any way. Mr. CORRIE said it would not. Mr. Shattock became his bail to appear to answer the charge on a future day, and ho was liberated. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. MANCHESTER. There appears to be no prospect at present of any accommodation of the differences between the operative engineers and their employers. There was a strong feeling all last week that the masters, being thoroughly roused by the spirit of dictation in which th© Amalga mated. Society had moved, would be more difficult to make terms with after things had come to an extremity than before. Yet, strange to say, both employers and workmen appeared to entertain a notion that neither side would be in a right position to negotiate advantageously till the strike had actually taken place. The employers regard it, and with some reason, not merely as a question of piecework, or of the number of hours the men shall work, but as a struggle which is to decide whether they shall be masters in their own premises, and direct - and control their own capital. A conversation with the overlooker of a machine•shop which is not yet included among those under notice to stop, elicited information which would sound strange in the ears of men having the direction of well•regu lated workshops in other businesses, For instance, when it was ment i one d to hi m, that a firm bad been put to great inconvenience and loss by the workmen refusing to stay a few hours later on a Saturday afternoon to complete a railway locomotive which the employer was bound to deliver that day under heavy penalties, he said, "Oh that is by no means an uncommon Cease. We had some men away drinking and idling a few weeks since, when they knew that the machine they were completing was one for which we were under a penalty of 11. per day for not delivering, and we bad actually 71. to pay through their neglect. But," he continued, taking out his pockotbook to show the item, " I have another recent entry, where wo had to pay 421. for penalties to a firm of cottonspinners for machinery we had contracted to supply, and which we could have well completed within proper time but for our men going away , to drink, and neglecting th e i r wor k f or d ays toge ther.' He said to some of these men when they were making a charge of double time for overhours, " I'll pay you double wages for overtime if you'll consent to deduct double time Jut this of wor k through drinking in the day." this could not be thought of, though there are some firms in Manchester where fines have been inflicted for neglect of work during the day, except caused through illness. Among these are Messrs. Sharp and Co. The ma nager of the works above alluded to said their hands had not absolutely refused to work overtime, and since the threatened strike some of them had declared that they would accept overtime at the regular day-work price. Yet three of their hands, ho said, had been at work all Christmas week, and their charges were respectively for 14, 15, and 16 days' work. These men were engaged repairing a mill which had stopped for the holidays, and they charged from daylight to dusk as a day, and for every five hours' overtime (reckoning double) they charged another day. For working Christmas-day they also charged two days' wages each. And thee, in addi tion to this, they charged for what they call their " lowance," which is Bd. per day for drink when they go to make repairs at any distance under two miles from the workshop, and Is. per day when the distance exceeds two miles. Having heard it stated that a large mill-fitter at Leeds, principally employed i❑ making flax-spinning machinery, had turned out all his society hands, because they had dictated to him the proportion of apprentices he should employ to his journeymen, and had replaced them by men taken from the streets, whom he had trained to supply their places in three month 9, we asked the possi bility of this, where so much skill is supposed to be required? The gentleman in question, we were told, had been to the United States, where he found none of the trade restrictions of the mother country. Boys were taken into the workshops to learn a trade without indentures of apprenticeship, and were paid according to their value from the first, and liable to discharge, or at liberty to seek a now em ployer at pleasure, like the older workmen. This gen tleman had returned with a determination not to suffer dictation any longer, and had not only completely broken through the restrictions sought to be placed upon employers by trades' unions of workmen, as respected piecework and overtime, but, instead of one apprentice to four men, had nearly four apprentices to ono man. A great PertioA of his work was done by machines, JANUARY 14, 1852. which persons can soon be trained to manage ; and I driven to extremities by the arbitrary conduct of his workpeople, he had not only dmancipated himself from dictation, but had reduced his payment for wages to an average of 14s. per head, while the average of Man chester establishments' taking young and old, skilled end unskilled, is nearer 245. per week. We asked if this were io,sible, or had we been imposed upon ? The overlooker replied that it not only could be done, but most likely would be, in Manchester, if the society per sisted in forcing things to a crisis. With a few skilled artisans (who could bo induced to give up the society for a consideration) to direct, he said, lower-priced labour might be secured than had ever yet been attempted, and a comparatively well-paid class of workmen might find their trade ruined, as much as had been that of the cotton-spinners, whose strikes had lad to the introduc tion of the self-acting mule, and the constant substitution of machinery for band labour. Now, if this really is so, it must be a matter of deep regret that such evils should be risked by a class of well-paid artisans, whose chief complaint is that they have sometimes too much work, and whose ignorance of political economy has led them into the mistake of sup posing they can regulate the laws of supply and demand as they would one of their own machines. They com plain that men should be obliged to work overtime while the society has men on its books who have no work at all, and would compel the employer to extend his capital in providing more shop-accommodation for men in the daytime, without exercising his own knowledge and ex perience in determining whether it could be done with profit and safety. It is doubtful if any class of society gains by the reduction of wages among other classes; and it would be matter of much regret if the present strike between the operative engineers and their em ployers should be attended with the disastrous results which have resulted from so many previous turn-outs. There is reason, however, to fear that such will be the case. It is said that some of the masters here have it in contemplation to invite over to this country a number of Belgian mechanics.

Collier, and Co., Messrs. S. Ellis and Co., Mr. R. Gilroy, Mr. P. Leigh, Mr. W. Muir, Messrs. R. and W. Oram, Mr C. Reece, Messrs. Robinson and Young, and Mr. W. Routladge. These firms in Manchester employ about 2,100 hands those in Salford employ about 1,000. In addition to these, the railway companies who have stations at Manchester, and who cannot stop their works, employ 2,200 to 2,400 hands, including 600 to 700 *I the Miles platting station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, 400 to 500 at the Gorton station of the Shef field Railway, 300 to 400 at the Longsight station of the London and North-Western Company, and 800 at the Crewe Works of the same company. LONDON. Yesterday meetings were held at the Sun, Blackheath, at which a number of men still in employ reported that their several shops had determined to devote one day's wages per week towards the support of their brethren; at As Crown, Lambeth, adjourned in consequence of the numbers to the Teetotal-hall, Lambeth-walk, of the men of all classes recently in the employ of Messrs. Mends lay and Field, whore resolutions wore agreed to gene rally approving of the proceedings of the executive; at Ratcliff cross and elsewhere, votes are being taken on the proposition to advance 10,0001. for the co-operative scheme, but the returns will not be completed until the 20th. Last night there was a meeting of the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society, convened for the purpose of organizing committees and appointing trea surers to receive subscriptions from the public and from the men in employment towards the carrying out of the co-operative project, and providing for the immediate support of the non-society men thrown out of employ ment in consequence of the present movement. Upon this subject a resolution was egreed to to request each member of the society who was in employment to sub scribe a day's wages per week towards the support of their less fortunate brethren. It was also determined to appeal to the public on their behalf. Confident ex pectations were expressed that the society would be enabled to afford very substantial pecuniary assistance even to the non-society men and labourers thrown out, but as this depends upon the number so situated, and on the amount of subscriptions received, it is dangerous to hazard an opinion as to what the weekly stipend will be. The secretary was directed to write to every branch, requirieg an exact return of the number of members of the society, of society men, and of labourers thrown out of employ. It was natural to expect that the resolutions agreed to at the meeting of the employers' association on Mon day, and advertised in the newspapers of yesterday, should engage their attention. A good deal of time was accordingly occupied in considering them, but as almost each member of the council put a different interpretation upon them, they determined that they were not in a position to discuss them, and by that kind of tacit con sent which may be explained by stating that they re verted to the previcus question, the resolutions were voted incomprehensible. The following extract from the December report of the Amalgamated Society is perhaps worthy of notice:— " The circulars on systematic over-time and piece. work are gone forth. The manner in which they shall be carried into effect rests with the members generally. Our advice is that there must be no shrinking—no doubt nor fear—but a bold determination to succ , ed. With that success is certain, and nothing is easier than to discontinue over-time. An employer cannot with justice compel a man to continue at work after he has concluded his day's work; and if there be but unity of action—if there be an unanimity of will andpracti, those who refuse to continuo at work cannot b e d t e : charged, for an employer cannot discharge all his work men; w e, therefore, anticipate no difficulty. We are prepared to see a simultaneous course of action adopted, and the principle of shortening the hours of eof ourits b u rt hens, e u r n t labour carried into operation, and ofhy th at means we employment to of somesom establish a principle of mutual co-operation, shal l brth regni,vreelieeinvepwehhmeiecpshl,o andwy eiidl ultimately relieve us from the difficulty of co mbating ' evils of a grievous nature, an d resist in g g agg ressions see which are only too frequen tly nmade."te Then follows this ominous e " In conclusion, we impress onour ne cessity of bein g act i ve i n the overthrow o f t h es e monster e mem b e rs the evils, and when that be done, and done effectually, we shall be in a position to work out other measures which are calculated to confer great benefits and lasting social advantages on our society." OLDHAM. On Monday morning last an aggregate mee'ing of the operatives in the iron trades at Oldham, who Lave been turned out of employment by the closing of thew work shops by the masters in that district, was held at the Working Men's-hall, Horsedge-street, Oldham. The re were about 2,0 00 w o rkmefi present, and th e f o ll ow i ng resolutions were unanimously adopted:— " 1. That in the opinion of this meeting the Execu tive Council of the Amalgamated Society have acted in strict accordance with our views in carrying out the re solutions come to by that body with respect to piece and, furth er , that w e ewxootnisQrsactido tshyesmtemluaxatiehoavveinrtgimane"; sinister motive in the ste p s which have been taken by th em . 2. That in the opinion of this meeting the statement in ihe press that the workpeople of Messrs. Ilibbert, Platt, and Sons, intended to turn out if the terms were not conceded at Christmas, 1851, is a wilful add deli berate falsehood of the parties who originated such state ment, no such notice having ever been given by the we rkmen to such eNct. " 3. That in our opinion the statement that Mr. Newton, of the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society, originated the agitation respecting discharging labourers upon machines, is entirely false, inasmuch V. I it was cotnmenced and conducted by [the men of Old ha,!n. "ih '"*, the sar.elLia ur upproLation of the Execu tive Councils " 4. 'llla4 the cause of our demo d respecting machines was in consequence of the fort man of the establishment of Messrs. ll:bbert. Plitt, and Sons, compelling us to learn labourers, at 15s. a week, so as take our situations, when they were instructed with the view, as they have expressed it, that they should conduct the works with a few leading hands, labourers, and apprentices. " 5. That the statement in the public press that the workpeople of Messrs. Hibbert, Platt, and Sons, have desired to continuo piecework for a week longer is un founded; the fact being that Mr. John Platt threatened legal proceedings if they would not fini.l their work, though the notice for their works to be entirely closed on the 10th inst. was posted up in them at the time. " 6. That inasmuch as the public press have so misre presented our case, we call a public meeting to be held on Thursday evening, Jan. 15, in the Working Men's hall, Oldham; and most respectfully invite our employers with their foremen. the press, and the public, so that all can judge for themselves. " N.B.—The employers having refused to execute the work of the public, we beg to inform them that we aro prepared to execute orders for repairs, jobbing, &c., which will be executed with the greatest dispatch, and upon the most reasonable terms. The application to be made to the committee, sitting daily, at the store, in Rat cliffe-street, Church-street, Oldham." We learn that the works closed at Oldham against the men are those of Messrs. Ifibbert, Platt, and Sons, 1,636 men, skilled and unskilled; Messrs. Lees and Barnes, 400 men; and Messrs. Saville and Wolstenholme, 252 men. The workmen allege that all the other firms a.e at work, and, though they are not employing so many hands in the aggregate, yet they have in their service quite as many of the skilled and society hands as have been turned out from the three great establish ments alluded to. In addition to this, they assert that on the average the cotton factories, which are exceed ingly numerous there, employ four hands each, which are generally society men, and picked men of the various branches of the iron trade to which they belong. This remark also applied to the cotton factories at Man chester, Oldham, Ashton, Bolton, Preston, Blackburn, Burnley, and all the manufacturing towns and villages in the district, so that they calculate very largely upon support from these sources, independently of the funds accumulated by the socity. Messrs. hick and Son have printed and issued the following address to the hands in their employ:— " You are all, no doubt, acquainted with the nature of the demands which have been recently made upon us and other mechanical establishments by a body of men styling themselves ` The Amalgamated Society of En gineers, &c: The persistence in these &mends and the extent of the combination formed against us, have left us and the heads of other similar establishments no al ternative but that of closing our works, in preference to submitting to such interference and demands; and we have, therefore, felt obliged to issue the notice, with which you are all acquainted, of our intention to close these works on the 24th inst.; and we may add that we see no prospect of a resumption of business until this attempted principle of dictation is aban doned. We do not address you on the sub ject of the reasonableness or otherwise of this body of men stepping in and assuming to interfere between you and ourselves: the measure is, so far as you and we are concerned, sufficiently condemned by the fact that so few of you have joined this body, or approve of their proceedings. But this disapproval does not put an end to the interference; and in co-operating to effect this we feel called upon to assure you of the deep regret we feel in being driven to sever a connexion which has so long subsisted between us and many of you, more especially those who now concur with us in opinion, and entirely disapprove of the measures that have been adopted towards us. To them we would say that nothing but the strongest conviction of its absolute necessity could have induced us to adopt the course wo have resolved upon. We know it will seriously affect all parties con cerned; it will involve many of you in mush undeserved privation and suffering, and us in heavy pecuniary loss, while the customers upon whom we all depend will sus tain much temporary inconvenience and annoyance, until they have arranged to provide themselves else where. Bat, if the measure appears harsh, let it be re membered that it is not of our seeking. If the innocent among yon appear to be suffering equally with, or more, than those whom we think to blame, it must be borne in mind that our customers, as well as we, are in the former class; and if we could have devised any means to break down the combination in question less harsh than the indiscriminate course in which we have felt obliged to concur, it should not have been adopted by us. We feel it unnecessary to refer particu larly to the goodwill and kind offices whiok have mutu ally characterised our long intercourse with each other in our several relations towards each other, and which we believe to have resulted in our mutual benefit. We have seen no reason for that flow of feeling to be in terrupted, nor for its natural results to be diverted by the interference or dictation of others. We have known and acted on the principle that our mutual interests were inseparable. We disclaim all right to impose on others the particular modes of dealing they shall adopt towards each other, and we will not be dictated to by others as to the relations which shall subsist between you and ourselves. We again assure you of the deep and sincere regret wo feel in thus terminating our con nexion with you, and we would urge so many of you as disapprove of the proceedings of this amalgamated body, for your own sakes and interests as well as ours, to use all your legitimate influence to stop this movement, which, if it could succeed (but it cannot), would we firmly believe benefit none of us. To the small minority of you who have given in your adhesion to this ill-judged measure we would say pause and reflect before it is too late; you may, by perseverance, now inflict a blow which will recoil with tenfofd force upon yourselves and families, and commit an injury which a long life's toil may be insufficient,to repair. ---We are, yours faithfully, " BENJAMIN BIER AND SON.

NAYBMITII'S PILE DRIVING MaculNE..—..We wit nessed on Saturday the first introduction of this machine in London, and we are indebted to Messrs. Hutchings and Co., of St. Mildred's-court, for being present at one of the moat interesting and enterprising inventions that has been brought into action for superseding the old method of driving piles. 'I he works under the superintendence of Mr. Rendel, the engineer, are at the West India Ducks, and a pile of twenty five feet in length was driven into the ground in the shor t space of eight minutes, which by the old process would hare taken three hours. The engine is capable of making from sixty to seventy strokes a minute. It is scarcely necessary to point out to our readers the great improvement that has taken place in this department of machinery. It will be at work for some months, and we should advise all persons who arc interested in machinery to pay a visit to the docks, to form their own opinion of its merits. TEE LATE J. M. W.
