The title is Indisputable, being a direct grant from the Crown on a royalty of only I-50th of the net profits. The reports in the hands of the mining authorities of Baden have been collated by a German miner of eminence. They have been examined by Captain Matthew Francis, whose experience in lead mining is well known in this country, whose repc,rt is appended. M. Daub estimates the probable yield at only ten fatheMS depth, from the present edit level of two of the three mines in the Miinsterthal, at 5,250 tons of pig lead, and 23,0001b5. of silver. This quantity, at present prices, is worth 120,000/. ; and supposing it to cost one half to work the mines, will give a profit of 60,0001. upon ten fathoms sunk. The yield of the Native Silver and Cobalt Mines in the Heabach is estimated by him at an equal value. For the purpose of realising these advantages, and obtaining the co-operation of English skill and enterprise, the Mining Association ' of Baden has ceied to this Company t:te *hole of those rich Mines, together with the extensive Crushing and Dressing Maehi. n ery, Smelting and Refining Furnaces, completely fitted up, and in woeking order, with tha tools, appurtenances. water-courses, and • oth, tr rights, on which vast sums have been expended, for a mode rate price, which they have agreed to take entirely in Shares. By • this arrangement, this Company secures the co-operation of a highly inflpiential body of Shareholders in Germany, including names of the highest distinction ; while, at the same time, the entire and ab sent to control of all operations is vested by the Charter in the Com raittee of Management in London, but with the advantage of a Committee at Carlsruhe, who will carry out the arrangements agreed to, and, under instructions, represent the Directors in all local Maturs. All responsibility is expressly limited to the amount of Shares held and paid up. It is proposed at present to issue out of the capital, in addition I' 28 000 Shares agreed to be granted in pursuance of the deed of ces- PM, only 24,000 shares, with a reserved power to the Din-eters to mat: the remainder. In a commercial point of view, this property presents the special Point of interest, that silver is already c•aming into increased demand, and - will continue to rise in value as gold becomes more abundant in this and other countries. ,Applications for shares to be made at the company's t e mporary ?mom, 57, Threadneedle-street ; and to Messrs.

One of the crimes committed in connexion with the insurrection of December, in the provinces, which created most sensation, was, it may be remembered, the murder of a woman named Richer, of Valence, by her son, for political motives. This man was tried two days ago by a court-martial at Lyons. It was proved that he was a drunken and dissolute fellow, and that he had been admitted to the secret political society called the Jeune Montagne. He had fre quently threatened his mo her to kill her if she ever revealed his connexion with the society. On returning home at a late hour in the night of the 6th of Decem ber he went into his mother's room and seated himself on her bed. She told him to go to bed, but he remained in the room until about three o'clock. He then told her that that was the hour at which the insurrection was to break out, and prepared to leave, but she prevented him. An hour after he heard cries in the street, and said, " There—the insurrection has begun." Biit his mother said, " Stop at home. my 1 dear Benjamin ; it will cause me too much pain if you 1 3° away.' He, however, went out, and on his return found hismother weeping. Bet, according to his own * r e e o g u: l n l t ii , he fancied that her tears were hypocritical. She said to him that ho would do well to mind his " n b usiness, and not meddle with politics, and 011 her recommendation he went into his bedroom, bu s t h e e took him up some milk, and earnestly b n Tr r eihm e ae s t s itop e hn d oao h t Y v i s t to take it; and at the same time she told p..sown w e o r u i l ai d t not allow him to join Ow insur rection, rather fasten him up in his room. appeared, said this from affection ; but the r; at least, he stated—that she meant to give abciied— to the police.

THE 4TH LIGHT DmActoorts.—This fine regiment, the Queen's Own Light .Dragoons, four troops of the corps having been stationed at Woolwich, and two troops at Hampton Court. under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Lord George A. F. Paget, since October last, have been placed under orders to change their quarters, and two troops will kayo Woolwich, on the 15th instant, for Norwich barracks. The two troops (head -quarters) will leave Woolwich on the 16th inst. • for the head-quarters of the troops to be stationed at Ipswich barracks. It was originally intended that the 4th Light Dragoons sho u ld move from Woolwich to Nottingham, in the northern district; but their destina tion has been changed, and will take place as above stated. The Bth King's Light Dragoons (Hussars), at present stationed at Hounslow under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel F. G. Shewell, will move to Notting ham, where they are to be stationed. THE MIME lIIFLE.—FieId-Manalal his Grace the Doke of Wellington, Commarider-in-Chief, arrived at Woolwich on Thursday, shortly after eleven o'clock, ac companied by Colonel Lord Charles Wellesley, and proceeded to the marshes to witness the practice then beinfr carried on with the Minis rifle, or new pattern musket. The gallant field-marshal was received by Licuzenant•General George Brown, C. 8., K.H., Adje taut-General, and Major 13rownrigg of the Grenadier Guards, and remained nearly an hour, while the non commissioned officers at present under a douse of in struction fired a number of volleys at 800 yards' range, and completely riddled the target. His Grace atter wards proceeded to the target to examine the effect of the balls when they hit it. After . his Grace leit the marshes the non-commissioned officers commenced prac tice at 1.000 yards, „and the firing during the day was reirtarkably good.. • DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL GRANT, C.B.—This distinguished Wittetloo oilier died a few d.iys since at his resicknce in London.

THE LATE SIR JOHN HARVEY, K.C.B.—We have • already recorded tla , demise of this distinguished officer, who died at Nuvia Scotia while in the discharge or his duties vvernor of that colony. Tbo deceased gen _ zloman ws born in 1778, and entered the army at a very tender age. He saw, during his career, some con iiiderabl, civil and military service. Sir John took part in the campaigns of Holland, the l'*-niusula, France, the gape, Ceylon, and Egypt; at Bhurtpore he served under the gallant Loref Combermere. In June , he was appointed Deputy Adjutant-General in Upp , :•r Canada, and ho st!rved through the campaigas in 1513 and 1814. In Aurfust, 1814, he was wounded before Fort Erie. In 1837 he attained the rank of major general, and in 1846 that of lieutenant-gf,nersl. Fur services rendered during the American war, Sir John received a medal. For some years previous to 1841, he filled the post of Governor of Now Brunswick. In the latter year he became Governor and Commander-in- Chief of Newfoundland. His next appointment was that of Governor of Nova Scotia. In 1844 he received the coloneley of the 59th Foot, now at the disposal of the ; Commander-in-Chief. - NAY AL IN TELLIGENCE. MALTA, APRIL 2.—The only naval movement is the departure of the Scourge steam-frigate on Satur day last for Corfu, whence she would, it is said, pro ceed to Constantinople, to be placed at the disposal of Sir S. Canning. On Wednesday last the troops in garrison were brigaded on the Florian parade ground, but owing to its small size, no evolutions of any importance were performed. The Artillery, Sappers, 3d Regiment, 68th Regi ment, and Fencibles took part in the exercise. We cannot help mentioning here the great good accomplished by General Ellice in repairing, or ra ther entirely remaking, the parade ground. It was formerly an unsightly, rugged piece of ground ; now it is perfectly regular, so tar as it is completed (the larger half). The General, seeing what loss of time would ensue in applying to the engineer (civil) de department of Government for effecting his wishes, resolved on commencing it himself; and, having done so, has continued it. The outlay for carting, building, rubbish, &c., up to the present time, is nearly 2001. When finished it will be well worth the outlay. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Bentinck arrived on Monday last, as did the Banshee, from Mars(illes. Dates 20th and 24th March respec tively. The two vessels made splendid passages. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—We are gratified to an nounce that the proposition made by the Commander in-Chief to the officers and ships' companies of her Majesty's ships and vessels at Spithead and in this harbour, to contribute one day's pay each towards a fund for the relef of the distresses of those left desti tute by the loss of relatives in the Birkenhead, has been met in the best possible spirit, the desire to con tribute being unanimous. _ The Secretary of the Apmiralty, Mr. Stafford, M.P., arrived here yesterday, The Black Eagle Admiralty steam-yacht, Master- Commander Perley, arrived here to day from Wool wicit, to attend upon the Most Noble First Lord of the Admiralty duriug his visit next week. The Lightning steam . vessel, Mr. Allen, Master- Commanding, returned to this port after attending on the Master-General of the Ordnance this day. The Sirnoom steam troop-ship, Captain Kingcome, will come into harbour to complete coal and be ready for sea. DEVONPORT, Aram 8 —The fore and mainmasts of the Lander have been found defective. She Virba taken alongside the sheer-hulk yesterday, and they were both taken out, and also the bowsprit. The ship was then brought alongside the dockyard, and this morning she was taken into No. S Dock. Her crew will be paid wages on Saturday next, when one por tion of them will be granted leave according to the new regulations. Manceuvrer, lighter, Rosa, master, arrived this morning with stores from Woolwich. She has brought above 70 tons for Halifax, which will be taken there by the Resistance, troop-ship. PRIZE MANE!

Many residents at Clifton, Cotham, and Kings down, as well as in the city (Bristol), were surprised at the shaking of their houses in so unusual a manner, and in con erlUMCO fan!!

TIMES.—We have already expressed, on more than one occasion, the deep regret with which the public ill this country has learnt the frightful cost of life at which the reduction of Lagos was effected in the month of December last by her Majesty's forces on the West Coast of Africa ; and we have shown from the papers recently taid before Parliament that a more brutal and degraded rice of savages are not now to be met with on the face'of the earth than the King of Dahomey and his slave-hunting subjects, to whom nevertheless the British Government has more than once condacended, within the last few years, to address a dispatch and to accredit an agent. Lieute nant Forbes's journal of his mission to Dahomey, in May, 1850, when be witnessed what are termed the " customs" of that kingdom, is certainly one of the most extraordinary narratives we ever met with, and the la sults of this mission may . be judged of by the fact that eleven human victims' were butchered by way of sacrifice almost under the eyes of the British officers, who succeed d in buying off, for one hundred stellate three of the miserable beings destined for this sleughter. But, to give a more complete 'View ef (be policy which , led --to the gallant attack of the British forces on ; Legos, and of the results to be anticipated from the success of that achievement, it is due to the officers who conducted that enterprise to describe somewhat more fully their objects and their motives. The labours of the Church Missionary Society on the west coast of Africa enabled the chief promoters of that :association to demonstrate to the Government that on the frontiers of Dahomey, and within reach of the attacks of its savage ruler, there exists a people inhabiting the Egba province of the Yoruba kingdom, who are in all respects the opposite of their ferocious neighbours. Their chief town, called Ahheokuta,contaites 50,000 inhabitants, and is situated on the river Ogu, which is navigable 'for about 50 miles down to the sea at the island of Lagos. Their markets are frequented by traders from the Niger and the interior of Africa - . These Yoruba chiefs are entirely opposed to the slave trade, and they live in constant dread of the ~lave hunts and hoitilities of their slave-dealing neighbours. It is a very remarkable circumstance that several -hundred liberated Africans bad found their way in vessels, procured and freighted by themselves, from Sierra Leone to Badagry and Abbeokuta ; and the English missionaries have un doubtedly succeeded in establishing there one of the most successful missions we yet possess on the Guinea coast. But, on the other band, Lagos, which commands the mouth of the river Ogu and the trade of Abbeokuta, was in the hands of a slave-trading chief, Kosoko, .who had driven his relative, Akitoye, from the throne; and the King of Dahomey, jealous of the trade and independence of Ahhetikuta, bed re psatedly declared his intention to make war upon it and to destroy it. These threats were soon realised. In March, 1851, the King of Dahomey marched against Abbeokuta to exterminate the British mis sionaries, and to reduce- the black population to slavery. A severe action was fought tinder the walls of the town, and in the presume of the Eng lish residents. The Dalicmeens were defeated, and on the next day no less than 1,209 of their warriors were found dead upon the field. This abortive attempt was followed by other hostilities between the tribes in volved in this interminable African quarrel, which placed the British residents and traders on the coast in considerable peril, as Kosoko, the Chief of Lagos, was known to be advancing to attack that settlement; and it became apparent that the safety both of the missionaries, the traders, and the liberated Africans in these free districts, depended entirely on the restraint which could be put upon the hostile operations of the Chief of. Lagos. There seems reason to believe that these operations were the result of a preconcerted scheme, arranged and assisted by the Brazilian slave-dealers, between the . King of Da homey end the slave-trading chiefs of the coast. Upon the receipt of this information in September last, Lord Palmerston ordered Whydah, which is the principal port of Dahomey, to be strictly blockaded, and the Commodore on the station was instructed to consider the practicability of . sending a small force into Lagos for the purpose of expelling the then chief and the slave-dealers by whom he was supported, and of re-establishing in his stead Akitoye, the former chief, who was driven out by the slave-dealers on account of his hostility to the slave trade. If these orders could by eirecuted,;Loaralinereton added that Lagos might become an important outlet for the commerce of the interior, and a diffusing centre of civilization, instead of a den of barbarism. Before, however, the formal instructions to commence these operations had reached the coast of Africa, Mr. Consul Beecroft had in some degree anticipated their tenour. He arrived off Lagos in her Majesty's steamer Blood hound on the 13th of November, and opened a negotiation with Kosoko, then Chief of Lagos, to induce him to renounce 'the slave trade. With more zeal than discretion,- and without waiting for the orders of the Commodore, the Consul, accom panied by Commander Wilmot and two other officers, went up the river to confer w ith this hostile chief.? The proposed terms were rejected, and as forts opened their fire on the boats sailing under a flag of truce, it was resolved that a somewhat precipitate attack should be made on the position. The Bloodhound unluckily ran aground; the fire from the mud forts and stockades was more severe than bad been antici pated; the deft nce was skilfully conducted by about 5,000 men against a party of 160 or 180, who had been landed, and it was-found necessary to recall the forces, with a loss of two officers killed and tel seamen wounded, after firing a part of the town. The conduct of Mr. Beecroft in this affeir was not approved either by the Commodor e, who arrived on the coast a few days' afterwards, or by her Majesty's Government, and it was distinctly censured in a dispatch of Earl Granville of the 24th of January.;. though no reflection can be cast on the gallant, though unavailing courage, dis played by the crews of the-Bloodhound and the Har lequin in this attempt. But this failure, end the in structions which shortly afrerWards arrived from the Admiralty, rendered it incumbent on Commodore Bruce to take the earliest- opportunity of inflicting summary retribution on the Chief of Lagos ; and in less than a month after the first attack by the Blood bound 'his refractory chief was assailed by a strong and violl-organized force, which led to the action of the 24th and 26th of December, the details of which have already been placed before• our readers. A more desperate engagement has never been fought,' for,. as the Commodore states in his . dispatch, " our peep le , could expect no quarter, nor did they get any- When the Teazer had unfortunately run ashore in a position that exposed her to be destroyed •by the enemy's guns, Captain Lyster made an heroic rush into the midst of the armed hosts onshore, at the head of his undaunted crew, spiked the guns, and turned on that point the fortune of the day. Bat the loss of life must ever make the reduction of Lagos one of the most dearly won triumphs of . the British navy. The treaty which was concluded a feW days later with the restored chief of Lagos, Akitoye, pro hibits the slave trade, expels the slave-dealers, secures freedom of trade, puts down human sacrifice', and protects the propagation of Christianity. If these objects are really obtained, and if the territory of Abbeokuta proves to be what it is represented by the missionaries, a city of. peace, .of commerce, and in pert of Christianity, an important step may have ben made towards the improvement of Africa : but we eonfess we look with little confidence on engagements extorted from the barbarous chiefs of the African coast ; and the interests of humanity we have under taken to defend at so large an expenditure of British life and valour are still surrounded and menaced by the worst 'passions of -a ferocious population of heathens, who have learnt nothing from civilization but increased sensuality, inflamed avarice, and im proved methods of destruction.

Little d s the Bishop of London imegine, when he first resorte to the rigours of prelatic authority against a eompar fly unknown individual, filling a' very humble I e.itioa in the Church, and content, had he been perhitted, to have lived and died unnoticed and unknow.' the laborious pastor of an attached flock—that the :-. man whom he, doubtless, fancied he could eccles • 'deafly extin guish by the breath of his prelatic m: i h, should, in the brief space of a few months, e transformed into one of the most formidable e Orients with whom his Lordship had ever comp I nto collision. Yet so it is. • Mr. Gladstone has a eady s welled into colossal dimensions as the ants . enist of Lon don's Bishop. And no one w h o ' e attentively watched the progress of th e com b a t an have the slightest doubt that, whatev er may b e le issue of the suit in the Ecclesiastical C ourts , M,, Gladstone is destined to come off victorio us i n a o ral and reli gious sense.

That under circum stances so unfavourable and so discouraging Mr. Gladstone should have persevered in a course of re sistance to what he regarded as the unrighteous Authority of his diocesan, may well inspire in every British bosom emotions of admiration and friend ship for the Rev. Gentleman. That he has never hesitated or faltered in the course of conduct which he determined to pursue, can only be ascribed to the fact that the needful courage and strength have been imparted to him from a celestial source. Nor can we doubt that, continuing to derive the needed resolution and strength from the same divine source, as pre lthe he will go on till the end , not onl y wit h unshaken courage, but with an hour l y increasin g resolution.

Let it not be forgotten, that though Mr. Gladstone pleads his own cause in person, a very considerable amount of expenses must necessarily be incurred in his defence. Nor must the great fact be overlooked that, the metropolitan - prelate hes an income from 30,000/ to 40,0001. a year, whil e Mr. Gladstone's does not exceed 2001. to 2501. Tnese are mighty odds, so far sis pecuniary considerations are concerned, against the reverend gentleman.

SINGULAR TRIAL. A very singular case has lately occupied the Court of Assizes io Paris. A Prussian medical man, named Wieceecke, was indicted for fraudulent bankruptcy— he having as alleged started an establishment for making coffee-pots and a peculiar description of toffee, run deep into debt, and then sold off or se creted his furniture and effects, in order to defraud bis creditors. But, -as the " Doctor " was also a noted professor of the mystery of animal magnetism, a mass of very curious evidence having no direct connexion with the case was given, for the Purpose of showing his real character. It appeared that be came to Paris in 1833, and in 1835 obtained authorization to act sa a physician. In 1842 that permission was withdrawn, but he continued to assume the character, and to act as a medical man.. In that year, he made the ac quaintance of a retired tradesman named Mucous. This person was made to believe that the prisoner was not only a physician of extraordinary power, but a chosen agent of God ; and he' gave him a sum of 8,000 f., and subsequently different :films, his plate, watches, jewels, &c. Although it was understood that the prisoner was to restore these things when called on, he, on different pretexts, ne glected to give Marcoux any written acknowledgment for them. Under pretence of being in angel on earth, he compelled Marcoux to pray several times a day, and gained such a complete influence over him that he made him do all he wanted, and give up all he had. Amongst other thiogs he told him that n treasure was buried in his garden ; but, when the gzden was dug up, none was found. Wien„ e et length Maroc.= had reason to suspect the man s honesty, he demanded a written acknowledgdartit for his money and effects; but the prisoner oely gave a few vague lines, and stated that his "good angel" had forbidden him to give more. Such was the power of the prisoner over the unfortunate dupe, that, even before the Court, Islarcoux did not dare to look him in the face, end Nimbly assured him, "in the presence of God," that in giving his evi dence be was not actuated by sentiments of ani mosity. After Marconi had concluded his testimony, a female, named Cileste Vallet, was called to give evidence. She was in custody, heving been arrested .on the charge of being concerned in certain acts of swindling, for which the prisoner is to be hereafter tried. She stated that she had been presented by her sister to " the Doctor," and that, having ascertained that she possessed extraordinary lucidity as a mag netic subject, be persuaded her to go and live in his house. She after some hesitation consented, and from that time for six years she declared that she had not had an hour's liberty—that she was completely sub jugated. "And even now" she cried with extraor dinary agitation, "I feel his influence extending over one—but I have a talisman here ?" and she pressed convulsively a sma ll w hi te stone. " If the loo k o f t h e prisoner affects you," said the President " remove to another place." "Oh what would that do !" she answered. "If I were at thirty leagues' distance his power over me would be the same. When I was in my cell at St. Lazare I felt it, and even on thinking of him, I trembled, and ail my senses became agitated !" The witness then said that when she first went to live in the prisoner's house, he used to talk soul,talktoandherof death, and of the immortality of th com pelled her to read the Bible for hours together. H e made her pass whole nights without sleep, and s h e was in a sort of exracy, caused by , his, having mixed some peculiar substance in her drink. On other oc casions after drinking liquors prepared by him she was seized with vertigo, her hair stood stiff on her head, her eyes filled with tears, and her lips like stone. " Oh," exclaimed the woman, " I suffered hor rible tortures ! " She then said that the object of the prisoner in treating her in this way was to make her a source of profit, by giving medical consultations ; but he never gave her a farthing, and embezzled her own furniture and effects. He persuaded her that her singular magnetic powers were given to her by God, and that it would be impious for her to make money by them ; also, that it was by order of St. John the Baptist that he bad disposed of her furni ture. He made her clean the house, as well as give medical advice; and, when worn out by fatigu e, she demanded repose, he ill-treated her, and made her drink potions. Oa such occasions he said that if she resisted him, she would be cursed of God, driven from God's bosom, be interdicted access to God's gar den,_ and be so afflicted with the itch that any one approaching her would catch it. Her belief was that the doctor had gained the enormous sum of 700,000 f. by her. He converted her from the Catholic to the Protestant religion, by causing a voice to cry to her when she thought herself quite alone, "Calvanist ! Calvanist !" When she was in a state of agitation caused by his potions, he used to make phantoms appear which terrified her exceedingly. The pre scriptions she gave, under the prisoner's direction, to the persons who consulted her, were drawn up in the name of " the good Angel," or " St. John the Bap tist," or the " well beloved of God. It was next proved that a Madame Verdys, who had possessed consie derable property, bad gone to live in the prisoner's house, and had been defrauded by him out of a for tune of nearly 300,000 f. By his recommendation she had also been induced to advance the pretended Duke de Normandie, who called himself Louis XVII, about 50,000 f. All this she had done, she stated, in obedience to letters from the good Angel, St. John the Baptist, end the Saviour, which bad been presented to her by the prisoner. But, notwithstanding she had been reduced to poverty by him, she declared that her confidence in him was undiminished. She admitted that she had written letters of a very amorous cha racter to him. He had other " magnetic subjects" besides Vallet; but they were too prudent to let him victimise them so completely. When the magnetising business began to fail, he invented a new species of coffee, which he called, " Coffee of the Angel Blanche," the secret of making which bad, he alleged, been mi raculously revealed to him. A great number of wit nesses proved that in his capacity of trader he had not paid his debts, and that -he had sold or sent off his furniture and goods. A number of boxes containing property had, it was stated, been seized in a waggon establishment ; they bore his address, and were evi dently intended to be sent out cf the country. The counsel for the defendant having addressed the jury, and been replied to by the advocate-general, the jury deliberated and returned a verdict of Guilty, with ex tenuating circumstances. The Court sentenced Wiecseke to six years imprisonment. ~ DETERMINED SUICIDE. I secretary to his ereLtence lately M.

Her medical attendant informed her that there was ao chance of cure, and it would be necessary to amputate the limb.

On the .10th of last January the dispute between *the operative engineers and their employers resobed tbe length of actual rupture, and conPequait stoppage of bus;ness in the chief tatablishmenis ht the kingz dom. On this 10th of April we can at lait announce that the contest is substantially at an end. Of the eventual result th ere cou ld , o f course , b' no doubt. After three months of individual sufferiug and general disturbance, after immense pecuniary; loss and enor mous commercial peril, quarter of a workin after the consumption of .one g year in cabal, commotion, and 'mallet, the outstanding operatives have so far come in to the terms of their employers as to withdraw the pretensions which occasioned the dispute. The successive stages of the quarrel can hardly Crave been yetforgotten. The" Amalgamated Society" of Engineers—an association which - bad been consoli dating its forces for the avowed purposei of aggression and dominion, commenced its actual operation s ou the 24th of, last DeCember by the service of a circular notice requiring the several firma of . employers to abolish unconditionally, and without delay, the prac tices, of overtime and piecework. The masters en countered the assault by closing their establishments, And proclaiming that th.ry would re-open them on no other condition than the withdrawal of this notice. The question then became a trial of pend ing .which each party appealed to the public with a n instinctive conviction that popular opinion would de = cide the cause. It ii unnecessary to add that the workmen, through the manifest guile and duplicity of their leaders, were promptly nonsuited in this open appeal. They failed in enlisting any gene r a l sup port, and the masters , pining boldness la),' success, at length took a step in advance, and announced, that as an indispensable condition of future employment, every workman of every designation, should sign a "declaration" abjuring altogether the authority of ally trade soc;eties in the e.ngage . tn:lits betwi en master -and man. On these , principles they rea opened their shops, and to such purpose had their measures been taken. that the flesAtirstion has bet , d . signed by upwards of 10,000. operativas., end In-st the native of the 24 ii of Dc:cetubi-r has ber.ll ofh.: 41 - 9tiv - witi - frix*lt.

To the opinions now sutjoined we Anxiously hope that both parties will give a patient attention. The master* have pubiicly - acknowledged our impartial mainteoatwe of their caust , , and, if the men will but remember our unfailing advocacy of their rights on All occasions' of reel oppression, they must, v., are sure, give us credit for sincere goodwill. What we now state is the general sentiment of the country as to the faults on either side, and the duties on both. The employers may not improbably consider them selves placed by guccess bpyond the ricerity of con. dliation ; but this position, they should rear:llll)er, does but qualify them for yielding with better grace end grea.er security, nor can they overlook the ex pediency of standing well in the eyes of the public, and placing their relitions with their own work\fuem on a better footing than that of coercion on one side, and forced submission on the other. . . The case of the operatives, whatever might have been its merits, was utterly destroyed from the first by the agents who conducted it. As we explained at the commencement of the dispute, it became perfectly impossible for either the employers or the public to entertain the abstract questions of over time or piecework. The demands on these heads were put forward by men who avowedly only took them up as favourable points for breaking ground upon, and they were urged with the grossest and most unblushing mendacity. The society advocated their requisitions in the name of " the overworked labourer," whereas their own printed rules ac knowledged that overtime was looked upon es a " privileges," and that the reso!ution to abolish it had originated purely in a desire to regulate the distribution of employment for the advantage of their own funds. Above all, they had placed them selves in the undeniable position of aggressors; they had confessed that other demands were in reserve, and they had proclaimed their intention of ultimately usurping the absolute dominion of the trade. These proceedings left but one course open to the- employers. Considering the known constitution of the Amalgamated Society, its notorious designs, its published views, and its avowed objects in thus open ing the campaign, it became absolutely imperative on the masters to withstand its first demands, whatever foundation of reason they might happen to possess. What the particular notice contained was, in fact, of no consequence at all. They were to be resisted as notices served on employers byaelf-consauted autho rities pretending to " rule the - destinies of trade." These were the circumstances which formed the strength of the masters' position, and secured the support of the public. It was necessary to exact the unconditional withdrawal of these notices, in order that the " Executive Council " might be compelled to nullify their own acts, and retire from their impudent pretensions. This condition has now been fulfilled, and the Amalgamated Society stands condemned to impotence and convicted of folly. Having thus expressed what we are sure, in respect of the employers' case, is the general persuasion of the public, we must now admit, on behalf of the men, that the practical abuses in regard to overtime and piecework have been so far shown to exist as to call, not indeed for that 4 ‘ immediate and total 'abolition" dictated by the " Council," but for some remedy at the masters ' hands. We have repeatedly acknow ledged that the.practices in question contained obvie, ous temptations to abuse, and that if the requirements of the men had found expression otherwise than through a society which was hypocritically . trading o th ers for objects of. its own been future ings d iffere n t l y upon the complaints o f s th h e o w op n i . nio T n o of fr t a h m e practical a rbitration; but, as the m asters are now in or g anized ea sy—the case, us Lord Cran worth might not be e ct a )ti c n o t d ry e o nl f ig ru h l t es have for observed, being remove d from the scope of communication with each other, we think they might satisfy the demands of justice by such a declaration of their views respecting overtime and piecework as would meet the ressoaable complaints of th e i r men . The folly and presu m ption of the " Council" con sisted in their peremptory dictation of impossible b u t, though the te rms ; the se were not less rightfully than successfully rejected, common justice suggests that what was true in the remonstrance should not be disregarded. Finally, we think that since the Amalgamated So ciety has been driven to public lf BO -00E11710AM and ex posure, the employers may permit h own come bination to become exti nc t tmi. in its turn. They will no doubt ask what securit y w will then b e retai n ed egainst the revival of M r , Newton's follies, just as the men will inquire how they are to be protected against the abuses of piecework, in default of a binding com pact to. this effect. We answer, that obligatory sti pulations are as im • pra l etioable on one side as on the n other, and th a t the e ffective influence survivi ng the disp u t e mus t be only derived from the experience which each party will have acquired. The society will have discovered s own impotence to subvert natural laws, or " rule the destinies of trade," and will have-learnt that, convicted by public opinion, and destitute of popular support, designs of similar aggression must always miscarry. The masters will hate seen that opinion went against their assailants from the mani fest duplicity of their devices, but that abuses, if per sisted in, will infallibly prov oke a costly strife, and, if denounced with more sincerity than Mr. Newton could furnish to the cause, may some day bring serious retribution. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—l am requested to solicit the favour of the publicity of your columns to the enclosed return. I take the opportunity of the same medium to in form the body of operative engineers, with reference to a communication received by several members of this committee from the Executive Council of the Amalgamated Society, that it is the firm and unani mous determination of the members of this association to require from all persons desiring to be engaged in their establishments signatures to the declaration, as essential to their own i rotection, and an act of justice to those who have already signed it. As a proof of the spirit which still actuates many of those who have rendered the institution of this or , e l a tion necesstiry, I have only, in conclusion , to point to the following demands made by the Ircn-tnouldera Society on the Ist instant to the Manches r resumeetn ployers, as the condition of their consent to their avocations : ‘‘ 1. o T ui h d e e withdrawal rs. of the decla ration itor,.te from the ;elijsmrliniclihttrtirseamtelTH: " 2.
