The Avon has been dispatched as an extra ship iu place of the Amazon, to bring hom e mails from the Spanish Mon, West Indies, and G%ilf of Mexico, due at Southampton on the sth of March next, and will therefore fill the vacancy on the. homeward route made by the disastrous loss of the ill-rated Amazon. Thu Avon takes out only one passenger, and no spo c i o or cargo of any kind. Nothing further has transpired since . Friday. rolakvo to the loss of the Amazon, nor has any fresh intelligence come to hand. Sermons for the benefit of the widows and orphans were preached to-day in several of the churches and chapels of the town to large and deeply impressed congregations. Mr. George Mills, the engineer-in-chief of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, has just received the fol lowing letter from William Stone, the fourth engineer of the Amazon, who has landed at Brest:— " Brest, Jan. 5, 1552. " Dear Sir,—l am very sorry to inform you that the steam-ship Amazon caught fire about one o'clock on Sunday morning, in the Bay of Biscay, burnt to the water's edge and went down. I think the captain and officers, with all the engineers, except myself, are burnt or drowned. The life-boats were burnt before they could be got down. There was a boat full went away, but has not been heard of. We are 25 saved in two boats, and were picked up on Sunday night, at six o'clock, and the second boat at seven, A.M., on Monday morning, by a Dutch galliot, and taken into Brest. I shall come to Southampton as soon as I can, and shall be " W I confounded the f o.lh form-hold N i able to tell you all the particulars when I return.

" George Mills, Esq." forward boilers, a totally This letter convoys no information relative to the pro bable cause of the fire on board the Amazon, and con dE with among the con jecture is as rife as ever as to the origin of the confla gration. It is the opinion of Mr. Mills, the company's engineer, ... from t l v t ate n shy t et, t h hbeaeon flamesfii al leading erteri boilers tas r en o wh k dt eha e rsefe o o b u rfiwe t re i originated s rr i e g e t e i c i n n hha c a rfai t g i tce p o d hh O w r a t m a i portion ofgs amongst thehe vessel, carg e although it ito be feared a e d g t r h e .a a t t e dis tanceom c o p: ta r t u n s t j o b f i e the was generated, which in process of time ignited, and r ea c s h , an o d r is t e kst ato i3o w m ed e there deseri p. c t o i n oi.a sis o te f d ga o s f spread with fearful and uncontrolled rapidity. Whether this supposition be correct or not it is impossible to say, but it is hoped that some of the survivors at Brest will be able to give their testimony and opinion, so that a ul of persons which got away, and is alluded reliable conjecture may be formed of the cause of the to catastrophe.T in liebat William Stone's letter, is thought to be the boat materials, fallen in with by the Marsden. If not, it is to be hoped it may have been picked up by some outward bound vessel. Two boats at least now remain to be accounted for, and some time will elapse before it may be said with certainty that all but the 4 6 who have been landed at Plymouth and Brest have perished. Tho packet brig Brilliant, Captain Caldbeck, arrived here this morning from Madeira. Although she has crossed the Bay of Biscay, she has seen none of the Ama zon's boats or crew, and no vestige of the wreck. She spoke a large war -steamer, outward bound with troops for the Cape of Good Hope. We understand that the following communication has been addressed to the owner of the Marsden:— " Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company, No. 55, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 9, 1852. " Sir,—By desire of the directors of this company I called at your office this morning, being the earliest mo ment after the inquiry held yesterday at Southampton, respecting the destruction by fire of the Amazon, to ex press to you, as owner of the brig Marsden, the great admiration of the directors at the conduct of Captain Evans, in so kindly receiving on board that vessel the 21 persons who escaped in a life-boat, and in bearing up to land them at Plymouth, by which their relatives and friends have been spared much suspense and cruel anxiety. " Should any expense have been occasioned, either to you or Captain Evans, by the return to England and con sequent slight detention of the Marsden, the directors will be mot ready to receive the particulars, with a view of defraying the same. " I am to add that a copy of this letter will be sent to Captain Evans by this evening's post, with an intimation of its being the intention of the directors to present him (through you) with some mark of their approval and respect. . "I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " E. CHAPPELL, Secretary. " Mr. Gibcon, 19, Gracechurch-street." Mr. Trewicke, the unfortunate second officer of the Amnion, and who bad command of the watch on tho fatal night, was about to emigrate to Canada on his re turn home in tho Amazon. It was to be his last voya7o as a sailor. Though a first-rate officer, he had a strange dislike to the sea. One of the boys who was lost in the Amazon was named George Jerram, aged 17. He had always assisted his father, who is a Southampton fisher man. This boy had entered on board the ship without the knowledge of his parents, and they were broken hearted when they took leave of him. Ltany of these fishermen have a strange horror of steamers. The Royal Mail Company have rewarded Mr. Vin cent, the heroic young midshipman of the Amazon, by appointing him 4th officer to the Thames. They are about to present him wii,h a quadrant, on which will be cngraien a record of his heroism and pre-eminent meriii and he has been ordered to replace everything he lost I% tho wreck at the expenze of the company. . . ._ Most of the churches and chapel; .in Southampton have been filled to-day, in consequence of the clergy and ministers improving the event of the wreck of the Amazon by imploring sympathy end support for those who have been rendered friendless and fatherless by the catastrophe, and holding up the judgments of God on earth in all their terrible sublimity as a warning to the thoughtless and the guilty. The loss of this ill.fated ship (says our Plymouth correspondent) has formed the subject of painful excite mt.nt here since Tuesday, when the 21 persons rescued by the Marsden were Linded here. One of the passen gers, Lieutenant H. Grylls, of her Majesty's ship Sidon, is well known and much respected in Doronport, and is the son of the Rev. Mr. Grylls, tho esteemed incum nothSeartus,rdlse,ays bent o f St. Neots, in Cornwall. Tho gallant young officer bad been advised to delby his departure, in con sequence of the anticipated death of another son, who died shortly after the lieutenant's departure, on the Ist of January. The interest created by this sad calamity increases rather than diminishes, every fresh ray of hope, from whatever source, and whether founded upon fact or , all which that he we knew, hope simple supposition, serving to keep alive the excitement conveyed into Brost b y the Dutch barque Gertruida, which had picked them up at sea, had immediately upon nw d h o o us wi c th ata t s si t . r e o n p t i ) i , e :f 0 u O r his arrival in London, an interview with the directors of the Royal West India, Mail Steana-Packet Company. caused by b t Lt s h u i turn out to be correct, that, in his may are three.ho3ts besides those already accounted f or w i th this tremendous or, with part of the crew and passengers onboard, which escaped and added agiednetdlemenaen communicated uinulipcoartemdztto tphoeinmt from the wreck. Those boats I- there is have not yet been heard of; but he thinks there is reason every h a ve been picked up by some to hope that t h ey vessel proceeding to Ulu West In di es; or id SSUCiti2g them to have cleared the Amazon, end not to have been picked up, they have been driven to the southward, towards the coast of Spain. STOCKING ACCIDENT. SUIL ' LDS, S ATURDAY N IGHT. — Th i s morn i ng a shocking an d f atal occident won discovered to have ;alien place on h oar d t h e Clippar, belonging to Falmouth, a vessel, that after delivering a cargo of oil at Hull, from the Ilenit er:aneran, came round hero to load coals. Two seotnen and a boy, the foremast men, had filled a pan full ot burning cost, and placed it in the forecastle, where they slept, to warm it. The mater, for fear they would set fire to the ship, ordered them to extinguish it before they turned in, but they had neglected to do so. When the hatch was closed there was no mode of egress for the smoke from the fire, and on the mato this morning, about seven o'cicek, proceeded to knock the bends up, he got no anbwor, fearing something w t - ,s• the matter, took off the hatch and went below. Ho discovered the boy, Joh n Porter, dead, and the two men lying, he could not tell whether alive or dead. He immediately gave the alarm, end the master ascertaining what was the matter, sent off for assistance, and the men were brought on deck. Two medical gentlemen were soon on board, and every effort was made to save tho lives of the two poor fellows that were alive. They were taken by the police boat to the station, and from thence to the Lord Nelson public house, where every attention was paid to them. V er y great 'doubts were expressed of their recovery, but this evening the medical men were very sanguine of fetching them about. The name of the master of the vessel is Henry Whitburn; ono of the seamen is named James Dotley, the Christian name of the other is Stephen, but his surname is not known. This is the second ease of suffocation on board ship in the Tyne, caused by burning coals in the forecastle without a funnel to let away the smoke.

" TEN biography cannot fail to attract the deep att ntien of the public. We are bound to say that, as a Political Biography, we have rarely, if ever, met with a work more dexterously handled, or more replete with interest. The exertions of Lerd George Bentinck are faithfully chronicled its this most interesting volume. The his tory of the famous session of 1846, as written by Disraeli, in that brilliant and pointed style of which he is so consummate a master, is deeply interesting. Ile has traced this memorable struggle with a vivacity and power unequalled as yet in any narrative of Parlia mentary proceedings."—Blackwood.

" The Fair Carew' evinces merit of a high order. A strain of quiet easy raillery pervades the whole work that reveals a knowledge of the human heart, freedom of style, truthfulness of aim, and purity of moral."—Literary Gazette. " Very superior to the ordinary novels. There is life and freshness about it; a healthy tons of morality and a playful wit ; the narra tive has reality ; the men and women are genuine, and no shadows." —Eclectic Review. "It is long since we read a book of this class with greater promise in it ; and it is impossible not to recognise and enjoy the shrewdness, the social whim and satire, the humorous obqervation and common lite truth and sagacity displayed by the author."—Examiner. Clever - and very clever—this work certainly is. The style is carefully finished, and the course of the story flows on safely and steadily, and carries the interest of the reader on to the end."— Athenmum7 OBSERVA T lON S. Tt happened but lately, as I took a walk, My ears were saluted by confident talk ; The pith of what passed In a street conversation I mean to deliver in faithful narration. A tradesman stepped out and his neigbour addressed, Ills income last year had improved, he confessed ; Ills business had yielded little more, he admitted, But front long tailors' bills he was safely acquitted. lie had visited MOSES and SON'S clothing mart— Ilad proved it was matchless 101' neatness and art ; But the saving was such in the course of the year. As left him in pocket a fifty pound clear. A mechanic who laboured from morning to night, And planned and devised to his uttermost might, Said his children were fed and better arrayed Since the whole of their clothing by MOSES was made, lint this was not all, he had sent them to school, As learning was useful in handling a tool ; Yet no poorer had been since that he projected, The cost had been cleared in their dress, he expected.

THE Cumin's AT DARTMOOR. On Saturday afternoon 4G rank and file, with officers, of the 19th Regi ment, were dispatched to Dartmoor, after half an houi's notice, in consequence of their being 700 lb s. o f gun p ow der found secreted in the neighbourhood of the prisons, which had been hid by the convicts for some purpose, probably for eilectiDg their mope, TIIE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. On Saturday night, in accordance with the notice given to that effect on the Saturday previous, the prin cipal engineering firms of the metropolis discharged their bands and closed their works, but several of the minor firms changed their intentions, as avowed, at the eleventh hour, and intimated to their men that they might return to their work, as usual, on Monday morn ing. The names of the firma referred to have not all been publicly given, but it is positively known that Mr. Horn, machinist, High-street, Whitechapel, who was among the foremost to give notice of clearing, on Satur day night acquiesced unreservedly in the propositions of the Amalgamated Society, so as to become fully recon ciled with his men. His establishment will therefore re main open, as, no doubt, will many others under similar circumstances. With respect to the more important of the firms con nected with the Masters' Association, the men assert that many of thorn are seeking, by various means, to evade the full consequences of entirely carrying out their threats to close. This is done by the creation, in some instances, of a largo number of nominal foremen; it being an understood resolution of the employers that foremen and apprentices shall be allowed to continue at work. Unfortunately the suspension of labour has affected all who were employed at the establishments; and many who did not belong to the body of engineers and ma chinists, such as boiler makers, moulders, coppersmiths, carpenters, awl others, have suffered by being deprived of the employment they had enjoyed for years. The following may be taken as a tolerably accurate return of the "turns out" at the principal factories in and about London:— Men. Maudslay and Field, Westminster-road ... 800 John Penn and Co., Greenwich ... 700 Miller and Ravenhill, Blackwall and Ratcliffe ... 600 J. and A.

" 1. That 10,0001. of the funds of the Amalgamated Society shall be paid over to such number of trustees (the trustees to be men in whom public confidence would be placed in consequence of their position in society), not less than six, as are selected by the executive, on trust to advance the same from time to time to managers appointed by the executive, whose appointments will bo afterwards confirmed by the society, for the purpose of carrying on the business of engineers, machinists, &c. " 2. These advances, as well as those which the trus tees may obtain from other sources, shall be secured by a mortgage of all the plant and stock in trade employed in such business to the said trustees, who shall have a power to give preference security to any other advances over sums advanced out of the funds of the Amalgamated e s " s 3 i .; n T a h r r e i e c d o n e d n i t isoao bef the executive of the Amal g w as o mu r ea k ht e u nd s n s cl ao e r c r ei e w t ny h p i p c from rn ov s m u e de time mo b fe u n s t i yo time, with the view of gi v i ng - possible number of me m b ers of the trade out of employ ment for the time being, cons i stently with the sta bili t y employment to the greatest of the business and the welfare of the workmen em ployed.neh nc i s e t i n s a en such employerse a l f c a o r e n t oe of the a t t nh as de t h h e a s v p e . e r y b e d e . f o re T o n c e c u i n r r d e e d em w p b e e n t " w d T e e labourer threatened. The right of a working man to dispose of himself is jeopar dised, power is s oug ht t o be established enabling to comma n d th e service of his and the e n its eEn p p l l e a;e er a workpeople night and day without intermission. Was ever slavery so bad as this? If a. man claims liberty from his master after he has done his work, he is stigma tised as being dictatorial and mischievous. The old feudal times have passed away, when the baron had a property in the person of his retainer; but their spirit is inherited by our employers of to-day, and they seek to own and dispose of our persons at will, and to enslave and degrade our minds by destroying all our opportunities for mental improvement. " There is but one way in which this can be met — workmen must work for themselves —the labour of the country must be done. In every town let an organiza tion be commenced at once. Let every man find some employment. Gather together all the tools you possess. Instead of paying the funds of the society to men kept in compulsory idleness, receive your money as the due oearantdivo association, reward of industry.

" Non-aociety must be protected—be that our duty. We will appeal to the country in behalf of the labourers and non-society men. Those who are first called inde pendent workmen, and then sacrificed for their own protection, must be cared for by their own order. If 400, of our members are thrown out of employment, the other .8,000 must devote part of their means to support them till employment is found, If 6,000 are thrown out of employment, the others, if necessary, must divide their earnings: An endeavour may be made to punish you for that. The employer will perhaps say that you are not at liberty to do what you like with your money after you have earned it. Let the world see that you value rational liberty above all things, and do it more earnestly because you are doing it for a permanent benefit. You will have the satisfac tion of knowing that your subscriptions are not wasted upon idle men, but are in part bestowed on the esta blishment of the means of labour. " Subscriptions from the public can be obtained in every district, and our members who remain in employ ment will be called upon to support those who are out with liberal hand. Every district will be dealt with alike; no advantage will be given to one place over ano ther. And labourers and non•society men must sub scribe to assist in supporting labourers and non-society men who are out. To do this systematically, we request that all monies be sent to our general secretary, made payable at tho Whitechapel Post-office, and they will then be apportioned to each district equitably. (By order of the Executive Council.) " Jos. MUSTO, President. " WM. ALLAN, secretary. " London, 25, Little Alie•street, Whitechapel, _ Jan. 10, 1852." 113 following were agreed upon as the resolutions to be submitted to the aggregate meeting of the iron trades, to be held at St. Martin's Bull, Long-acre, this day:— 1. " Resolved,—That many of the employers of London and Lancashire having closed their workshops, this meeting is of opinion that their conduct is unjust and particularly oppressive to non•members and la bourers; and pledges itself to use evcry exertion in ob taining subscriptions on behalf of all who aro thrown out of employment." 2. " As the best means of removing the evils which attend the condition of working men, in relation to the unjust conduct of employers, is self-employment on a comparative basis, this meeting is of opinion that work shops should be immediately commenced by the work men themselves, in order that the business of the country may be proceeded with." The mccting is expected to prove a most important one. _ Another meeting of the men was held on Saturday night at the Phoeuix Tavern.

Dasher steam-vessel, Commander Lefebre, from the Channel Islands, anchored at St. Helen's in the gale on Thursday night, and _on Friday afternoon went into Portsmouth harbour. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 10.—The Sprightly steam-vessel sailed to-day with seamen-gunners for the Hotspur naval gunnery-ship, at Plymouth; also having supernumera ries on board for ships at that port. The Simoom iron screw (auxiliary, of 350 horse power) steam troop-ship, 2,000 tons, was taken out of harbour to-day to try her engines and rate of speed. She was in charge of Captain Henderson, C. 8., and was manned:by about seventy seamen and stokers from the Blenheim, 60, screw guard-ship, at this port. There were also on board Admiral Prescott, superintendent of this dockyard; the Lion. Captain Pelham; Commander Gardner, of the Blenheim; Commander Van Donop, of the contract mail-packet service; Mr. Andrew Mannay, chief engineer at this port, and other officials. The Simoom had received on board 600 tons of coal and a large quantity of ballast, but the latter not being fairly stowed, caused her to be down very much by the stern. She was taken well out to and through Spit head, and thence to the measured mile in Stokes Bay, where she made six trials. The maximum speed attained, wind and other conditions favourable, was about 9.50 knots per hour, and the minimum, against wind, was about 7,50; the mean result of the trials being 8.45 knots per hour—a result quite as favourable as was an ticipated, considering her low steam power and largo tonnage. Her engines worked very well. A trial was also made of her readiness in answering her helm, when it was found that she would turn round in three times her own length. It was remarked by the pilot who took her out, that she was one of the easiest vessels he had ever handled. She had a very steady appearance on the water, and looked a remarkably fine ship. The weather was fair, not much wind blowing. She came into harbour in the afternoon, and in running alongside the dockyard her yards got entangled in the rigging of a collier that was unloading. In hastily making a back turn of the Simoom's screw, to get clear of the collier, the starting gear of the engines gave way, but this was not attended by any serious consequences. The Champion, 14, just paid off, and the Flying Fish, 12, have been taken up in ordinary to-day. The Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, late flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., ex-Commander-in-Chief in the River Plate, arrived at St. Helen's last night, from Devonport, on her way to Chatham to bo paid off. She saluted Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., this morning. She brought up 50 seamen from Ply mouth to join ships at this port, whom the Echo has since brought in. The Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, flag-ship for the Mediterranean station, received her crew from her hulk yesterday. She has about 670 entered in all. The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Warden, hauled alongside the Malabar coal hull yesterday, to complete her stock. The weather continues very foul. PLYMOUTH, JAN. 10.—Her Majesty's store-ship Tyne, 4, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, from Barlyidoes for the eastward, was spoken at noon to-day, two miles south of the Eddystone, under single-reefed topsails, two top-gallant sails, standing and flying gib, by Mr. Stibbs' pilot boat Zedora, No. 3, which vessel, at four o'clock in the afternoon, when four miles inside the Eddystone, saw the Tyne on the starboard tack, under single-reefed topsails, no topgallant sails, apparently unable to weather the Bolt. The brig Rapid, 8, Commander Blane, having heel repairs made good, was towed to - day by the steam-ves sel Confiance out of harbour. She will sail on the first wind for the East Indies. The - frigate Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, sailed yesterday at 11 A.M., with supernumerarie for the Bri tannia, at Portsmouth, after which she will go to Chat ham to be paid off. The Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, was yesterday towed by the Pike steam•vessel from the Sound into harbour, and taken to the jetty to be dismantled. She will probably be paid off on Friday next, the 16th instant. [PRICE SD. THE MINISTRY. (From the Observer,) Tho conjectures respecting the Ministry h ave b een so indestriously set on foot, and so indefatigably re p eate d , with all sorts of additions and variations, th a t every dapaper,Whig, a T qu or s-Biiniste yiadßriaadl, have ical, Ministerial, anti- Mmisterial, considered them selves bound to have something very knowing and pro found to say upon the subject. At this season, just before the meeting of Parliament, there is a rare crop of rumours in the absence of news. We shall all have plenty to write about when Parliament meets. In the mean time we are all greatly left to conjecture what the meet inc.; of Parliament will bring forth. In any ordinary year we are never free from those interesting rumours, and the gossip that peculiarly belongs to the season. This year, in the absence of other domestic excitement, the retirement cf so prominent a member of the Cabinet as Lord Palmerston has given rise to more than usual speculation; and it is not unreasonable to expect a vast amount of conjecture and of comment upon passing affairs. It is natural to expect all this; but it is Ea prising bo w muc h o f i t, after a ll , i s super fl uous , an d what a q uan ti ty o f con ton s secession fromwat e th sta re ll sp in ec a t n to;h e immedi a t e cause o f L or d Palmeri jecture is ventilated—looking as likely as p oss ibl e, and yet for the most part utterly destitute of found a ti on . W in. Parliament at the very commencement of the s a7i f s co i e o r n. The cause, or causes, of that event—of which yb ethe i e n x i s p t i r a y n a i it i i u s n a n in to in w t t l e l u t t a io k n e y an a y nd one ful t l o y m re a v k n e al l e i d g . ht— A w ft i e l r l session. b it woulde ththen a b n e d a t ff h e n c r t e a t t i r o u n t h f f o u r n all that had passed in Europe and i n the country and in Parliament in relation to that abl e and distinguished statesman—not only as related to th e organ i zed assaults upon the liberal policy of the Government, b ut the more inveterate attacks upon the Minister who w as i ts ex ponent at home and abroad—after, especially, the gre a t debate and division in the House of Commons the ses sion before the last—after all the great changes which have coma over Europe in the last three or four years— after all the battles that have been fought in Parliament and in the press—coupled with the balanced state of parties and of the various shades of opposition—consi dering all these things, it is not wonderful that conjec ture should be more than usually rife, and that state ments should be hazarded with more or less of probabi lity as to the new blood that was to be infused into the Government to replace that which is lost. And yet, after all, there is really very little to be said. The policy of the Government is in no respect changed. 'rho vacant office is tilled up. There is actually no office in the Cabinet empty. There are two offices, not in the Cabinet, to be filled up. The offices of Paymaster of the Forces and Vice-President of the Board of Trade, as held by Lord Granville, were combined with one salary. There is also an Under-Secretary of State, who, according to law, cannot be a Member of the House of Commons. By the statute of Anne it is provided that only two Secreteries of State are to sit in the House of Commons. It may be observed en passant, that the permanent appointment of three Secretaries of State is of a later date. This rule is held to apply to the Under- Secretaries also, and, as the two gentlemen who fill those offices, Mr. Bcuverie and Mr. F. Peel, are in the House of Commons, the third Under-Secretary cannot be a Member of that House. Tho rule was first established on constitutional grounds, although it is an arrangement that a certain school of Ultra-Liberals now denounce as more honoured in the breach than in the observance. But, at all events, there it is ; and it may, perhaps, become a question whether it is useful or injurious in thus limiting the selection of the Crown with respect to those offices in the State that are called " Parlia mentary." There it is, however ; and this, with the offices just vacated by Earl Granville, are all the offices to be filled up at present. Without entering into the very ingenious disquisitions of our contemporaries, we are able to state our own con viction that the present Cabinet will meet Parliament in substantially the same condition that they are in at pre sent. With respect to the negotiations that are so con fidently alleged to have taken place, we believe they have no existence save in the imagination of their inge nious authors. So far as precise facts are given it is possible to be more explicit still. It was confidently and unhesitatingly stated that Sir James Graham had an interview with Lord John Russell, which lasted three hours, on Wednesday last. Notwithstanding the pre cision with which time and place are given for this three hours' interview, the simple fact is that Sir James Gra ham had no interview with Lord John Russell at all. The Right Hon. Baronet was in town the greater part of the week, and came up specially to attend the meetings of the Chancery Reform Commission; which sat daily during the week at Lincoln's Inn, and of which Sir James Graham and Mr. Henley are the two lay mem bers. As Sam Slick says, " that's a fact." So far as conjectures go, we du nut pretend to judge better thau others. But we should have little difficulty indeed in surmising, after all, that should any further changes be found necessary, and should the Government require to be strengthened, as we are so constantly told, the recruits will be from the ranks of the same party, and little confidence indeed could be had in any combi nation where honest conviction and honourable identity of opinion and congruity of action were not to ho the basis of the 111'ra:3:gement. There is rather a loose mo rality abroad upon these subjects. Every one points out his own friends. Each dwells upon the propriety of some incongruous combination of dissonant and opposite ma terials, which he is fain to call strength, but which, on the contrary, would carry the seeds of dissolution in its own bosom from its very birth. There is one puint dwelt upon which is right, if rightly understood. This country must be governed upon broad and comprehensive principles. Let us add that these principles must not only bo broad and corn prehensiveabut also well defined. Of these the Parlia ment and the people of England will judge. The prin ciples of the party in power are well known and truly tried. The Opposition will also, it is to be presumed, put forward a programme upon which they can agree, and to which, before it is successful, the people of Eng land must assent. It is proverbially easy to find fault. We are constantly told that such and such people exist who can be brought into consultation on public affairs; and in the next breath wo are informed that such and such people aforesaid are good for nothing. We are to have a broad basis fur an Administration, end yet the materials foe such basis are shown to be utterly unsound ono after another. The crochets of the Manchester school are paraded in lieu of statesmanship one day, and the pro-Popery of the Peelites is extolled on the next, without a thought being given all the time to the dangers of the one course, and the thorough British unpopularity of the other. It would be worse than madness, worse than folly, it would be a crime to knock down before you are ready to build up again. We ore told that the Ministry is not strong or commanding enough; but no other party is strong or ccmwandiug at all. There hare been Ministers with a larger following in Parliament, but they had to contend against a more combined Opposition—an Opposition that saw its way to power on principles open and avowed, practised and recognized. There is a great disposition on the part of the Opposition (professed) to heal the al leged differences of the Liberal party. Some of their_ disinterested zeal for the constituency and strength o their opponents might be more legitimately epplielj(f). themselves. These qualities are relative, after all._ an d he question will be, where is the public mind of E I The Parliament will judge the Ministry , and the _ will judge the Parliament. n y. for there will be the governing power of the _ c'euentr3;: MURDER IN IN OXFORDSHIRE.

If the and a bank receipt for 300/. being .. object of the murderers was plun der, it has been effectually defeated. While these events were taking plac e had reached place, the companion of the murdered man of his uncle, Banbury, where he made known the death stating (we are told) that they had been attacked bythreeresistanc e , he had ruffians, and seeing the uselessness of fled across the fields to the town. A visit to the scene of the catastrophe was immediately made by the authorities, and a conside • ration of the pecu liar ci • rcumstances of the case led to the arrest and de tention of the nephew until such time as his innocence eau be satisfactorily proved, and a coroner's jury have pronounced their verdict. The deceased was an elderly man, we believe upwards of 70 years of age, but well and hearty for his years. He is believed to be possessed of considerable property for a man in his station. His nephew had been living with him for some months. A short time since th© young man purchased a pistol of a gunmaleer in the town, and this is ono o! the strongest facts against him. Up to this time no weapon has been discovered, though a strict search has been instituted.

At nine o'clock on Saturday night a large meeting of the engineers and machinists took place at the Phu nix Tavern, Ratcliffe, for the purpose of learning the move ments of the trade during the day. The large room was densely crowded. Mr. G. Eoarar was called to the chair. He said that they were called together not so much to consider what stops they should adopt, as to receive information con cerning their position. They were now a set of inde pendent men. The gates of labour had been locked against them—the masters had struck, and now was the time for them to go to work and do the best they could to benefit themselves,—(Cheers.) Mr. ALLAN, the secretary of the society, having been called upon by the chairman to address the meeting, stated that he had little to inform them of beyond what they had already learned. Every man had got his wages, and they were now left to exercise their labour as they deemed most fit. It seemed that it was left to London and Manchester to contest and settle the great question between capital and labour.—(Hear.) At Bol ton there had been an inclination to meet the fair de mands of the men; and at Bristol a large and eminent firm had made such arrangements as would enable their hands to resume employment.—(Cheers.) From all he could hear all the shops had closed. In the course of the afternoon he learned that Mr. Horn, of Whitechapel, had desired his men to resume their labours on Monday morning in accordance with the society's terms, and in order to be satisfied of the fact he personnally made in quiries, and he found it to be a correct statement.— (Hear.) It was his belief that by Monday or Tuesday they would find a number of the smaller masters giving way, and in the event of their not doing so they would find that the men were prepared to do the work them selves, and would compete with them for it.—(Loud cheers.) They had offered all the terms to the em ployers that could be honourably made, and ho believed the Council of the Amalgamated Society had the con fidence of the whole body of men.—(Applause.) They had endeavoured, in the must fair terms with the em ployers, to bring the matter in dispute to an honourable adjustment; they had made every concession, but all had been refused.—(Licar, hear.) If any of the masters thought that when they opened their works on Monday morning they would find several of them coming back—(A laugh)—they would be sadly mistaken. It was thought that the independent man, the man who did not belong to the society, would be found returning; but they would learn that he was a character who had some regard for his position, and was anxious to secure and maintain it. They had asked of the masters nothing unfair; they only wished that when their day's labour was over, th' y might be allowed to leave their labour and em ploy themselves in the improvement of their minds, and other matters necessary to promote their comfort and h a ppiness.--(Cheers.) If that privilege were not allowed th e m, the time had arrived for them to du something for themselves; and recollecting th e advice of that lamented s t a t es man, Sir Robert Peel, to the working classes, that if they wanted anything to bo done they must do it themselves, ho was fully justified in telling the meeting that if they were desirous of accomplishing their ends, they were right in taking it into their own hands. — (Cheers.) Ile was satisfied that if they had confidence amongst themselves they must succeed. They had the sympathy of most classes. Mr. NawTote then came forward, and was received with much applause. Ho said that he had very few words to offer, as ho left it for the meeting on Monday to develop their plans. however, would observe that their position bore a wide difference to all previous matters of the kind.—(Hear.) They were not the parties who had taken aggressive measures.—(Cheers.) Both fur their sake, his own, and, what was more, the public, he trusted that they would exhibit every moderation of feeling in the struggle. They relied upon reason, and he hoped that if they saw any strange workmen entering the shops they would abstain from unpleasant remarks. He knew that the movement would be the cause of many being thrown out of work ; but ho felt certain that in the end they would feel greatly the advantages of it.—(Hear.) They would find that they were dependent upon the consumer, and that they could do without a third party between the consumer and producer.—(Cheers.) Any one of them would know that a situation was scarcely worth a month's wages, as far as regarded the period ho might be kept in it; indeed ho might say that there was scarcely a man who would . not be prepared to se ll his place for 5/. He felt confident that whatever th e y m i g ht suffer for the time, if they remained firm in their a c ti on , they would benefit to an extent which would amply re ward them for the suffering they had undergone. If there was a man present who differed with them in the course they lied pursued, who might charge them with a want of discretion, and had been induced to throw himself on the world out of employment, let him have no hesitation in coming forward and expressing his opinion. He believed, however, that there could not be found a man entertaining such an impression. They were de sirous of laying their case fairly before the public, and to be judged accordingly. If it could be shown that they , were acting in error, they would gladly revoke their de cision, and rely upon their owls individual resources.— (Hoar, hear.) But they had not done so. They bad in fringed no law, violated no contract, and therefore they were justified in what they wore doing.—(Cheers.) Ile again hoped they would not exhibit any display of feel ing is the coming struggle, for in the peculiarities of the law an act of one might be strained into lithe act measures they had against the of all.—(Applause.) lie bel ieved that many of the e mployers now thought t h at they were doing very g iell.lt the imposition and other pra c ti ces th e y wrung workmen—that m e been adopting— laLt cheatedinto by joining the combination of mast ers . employers who had joined that com bination,pledged themselves to the resolution passed 'Thera wb by andret hmebaandy council, who would now gladly revoke what they had done, did not their doing so involve a breach of faith with their other employers.—(Applause.) The success of their workshops, and the system of self employment, would alter material l y the relationship be tween the employers and the employed; a nd he did hope they would be in a position to tender a useful example to the world.—(Hear, hear.) He had heard that the boiler makers, like the moulders, who had been turned from their employment by their masters closing their yards, had inquired for themselves, and were prepared to co-operate and make common cause with thorn in seeing justice done. Having expressed his desire that the men would do all they could to alleviate the condition of the labourers out of employment by the suspension of labour at the shops by appealing to their friends, and raising subscriptions in their behalf, he concluded by trusting that they would continue firm and united in their drone, and he had no doubt of their success. Other speeches having been made, the meeting bruit° up, At Limehouso and other parts of the East-end, the boiler makers and others assembled to consider the movement of the masters and tho engineers, and it was resolved to support the latter in the movoinent. During the past week the Phcenix Tavern, Stepney, where the men are in the baba of assembling for the transaction of their business, has been continually under surveillance by the police, two constables being con tinually present in the house, as they assert, by direction from their superiors. A few nights back they demanded entrance into a private trade meeting, and a special vote allowed them admission. The operatives assembled in great force on Saturday night, and bAsaved with perfect propriety and decorum. On Saturday night the executive council adopted the following address:— - - ,4 r R om THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OF THE AMALGAMATED SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS, &C.

Bowyear (1851), recently first lieutenant of the Mean der, 44, on the Pacific station, to study steam at the factory at Woolwich Dockye.rd. Lieutenant John W. Pike (1848), having completed a course of study of marine steam engines at the factory at Woolwich Dackyard, was examined by Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, on Thursday and Friday last, and on passing satisfactorily received his certificate. The whole of the officers studying steam at the Wool wich factory wont down the river on Friday as far as Greenwich in the Fury steam-sloop, Commander Ed ward Tatham, to witness the working cf her engines. The Fury remained at Greenhithe to-day, to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson, and will be tried at the measured mile in Sea Reach on Monday, and then proceed to Portsmouth, where she will be paid advance wages before leaving for the Mediterranean. Tho vessel could have been doubly manned before leaving Woolwich with ordinary seamen, and she is but a few short of able seamen, who are only to be obtained with difficulty at the usual ports. The Dee steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander West, was paid off here today. The Avon West India Royal Mail steamer has been taken out of the East India Docks at Blackwell, and proceeds round to Southampton, to take out the next mails for the West Indies. TUE CARD CHEATING AT BRIGHTON. On Saturday this case came on again beforo Mr. Jus- tico Erie, at Chambers, on an aJjou"rned hearing, upon the summons taken out calling upon Mr. Sill to show cause why Hump, the prosecutor, should not substitute Mr. Dunn, another attorney, in his stead, to conduct the prosecution against Broome and others, the defendants in the case. Mr. SILL, after having called his Lordship's attention to the important points put forward as a ground for the proposed change of solicitors, proceeded to read an affi davit of considerable length in reply to the statements made in support of the summons. Documents were also referred to of much interest, and which, he said, he cited for the purpose of throwing light upon this part of the proceedings, and of bearing him out in the allegations he had made when this summons first came beta° his Lordship, that the application was made for the purpon of stifling the prosecution. After some discussion, _ _ . Mr. Justice ERLE said, that although there was no doubt that Mr. Hump had a perfect right to appoint any attorney M chcse to manage his private affairs, he (the Learned Judge) felt that after the magistrates at Brighton, who were fully cognisant of the case, had thought it right to appoint the head officer of police of that town prosecutor, ; instead of Mr. Hemp, he could not nominate Mr. Dunn to be tho attorney to conduct the prosecution. The matter therefore ended by the Learned Judge making an order that Mr. Sill should deliver his bill of costs within four days to Mr. limp, and that on pay ment of the costs by the latter, Mr. Sill should deliver any papers, the private property of Mr. Ilamp, but not such as were essential to the conduct of the prosecution. SEVERE GALES IN THE NORTH. During the last six or eight days there have been some violent gales in the Frith of Forth and St. George's Channel. There has been such a heavy sea off White haven that the fishing boats have not been able to ven ture out, and but few trading vesself have left the har bour. A good deal of damage has been sustained by vessels at sea, but happily no lives have been lost. On Wednesday morning the Earl of Lonsdale steamer loft Whitehaven for Liverpool, but there was such a tre mendous sea, the head wind from the south-west was so terrific, and the vessel pitched with so much violence and made so little way, that it was a long time before she could make the headland off St. Bees, and the gale was then so violent that Captain Richards was discreet enough to order the steamer to be put back, and acco with rd ingly returned to Whitehaven after boating about great violence for nearly three hours. The Earl of Lonsdale, which belongs to the Whitehaven Steam Na. vigation Company, is considered a very good boat, and has weathered many a gale; but so Vielent was that of Wednesday that it was not safe t o p roceed to Liverpool. She was to sail, however, on Thursday evening, b ut the gale still prevailed, and probably it would not be comi dered safe for her then to proceed to Liverpool. During the whole of Thursday themeas a tremendous ea off Whitehaven. The Queen,lendid boat, belonn going out on to the same company, made Whitehaven harbour s af ely at te te: a s s ailed again for the time when the Earl of Lonsda le Wednesday, and in spite of a heavy Belfast on the same night. PARKS FOR ------_ pEorLE.—The fureA of Hain ault, in Essor, on t h e borders of London, is about t o b e alie nated from the C ro wn. Before this is done, I would propose that three or four hundred acres should be reserved, to form a public park. The close neighbourhood of this disposable remnant of the folcland of our Saxon forefathers makes it very degrable that a portion of it, as a breathing place of pure air, should be dedicated to the community. How much places for healthy recreation are need e d, it i s super fl uous to tell. In the proposed, there might be, h erea f ter, ra i se d an other ferrov itrcous temple—of statuary, for example, wherein t h e history of our countr y might be read in marble and bronze—Where the memories of illustrious men of our land m i g m pe gratefully Ke§eryed...
