N.B.—That large portion of the public, whose money Is in vested in private enterprises, on the faith of recent Acts of Parlia ment, is requested to peruse the following letter from the Ch airman of Lambeth Waterworks Company to the Secretary of State fer the Home Department:— Belvidere House, Wimbledon, Surrey, Dec. 2,1151. Sir,—The re-appearance in the public newspapers, of a notice of aplication to Parliament, signed by Messrs. Lyon, Barnes, and Ellis, relative to the metropolitan water supply, and also relative to the water supply of rural districts several miles distant from the metro polis, obliges the Lambeth Waterworks Company, through me, their Chairman, to address you. Before proceeding further, I beg to observe that this Company is placed under the most modern legislation. So very recently as 1548, it applied to Parliament for leave to bring in an abundant and pure supply of water from Thames Ditton, for the purposes of the southern portion of the metropolis, and of certain rural districts. Parliament highly approved of the application, and " The Lambeth Waterworks Act, 1845," was passed. Under the faith and powers of, and relying upon, the terms and status conferred by that recent Act of Parliament, two hundred thousand pounds (200,0100 have been subscribed, and large farther sums borrowed from the public, in addition to the former capital of the company, whereby a supply inexhaustible, and now universally admitted to be excellent, and (owing to the large volume of the Thames there) superior to other sources, has been achieved ; and as the Chairman of this Com pany, I am proud to be able to state that this great public benefit has been economically effected by the inherent energy of the prin ciple of private enterprise, while the Board of Health, which professed to deal with the question, had not proceeded beyond theory, or rather impracticable speculation. A glance also at the minutes of evidence before the Committee of last session, on the water supply, will show a striking contrast between private enter prise and public bodies; it will there be seen that Commissioners, popularly elected, had either refused to act at all, or had, as in the case of the Edinburgh Improvement Commission, wasted the public money at a rate of five times more than was beneficial to the pub lic, so that tile inhabitants are described by an eminent witness as entertaining " the greatest thankfulness" that the Commission "had come to an end ;"—that municipal bodies had made the water sup ply a political question ;—that in the case (among other instances) of the Southampton Corporation, the Itchen was the Tory river, and the Tese was the Whig river, so that the town was drunk of neither, and only from 1,800 to 2,000 houses were supplied with water, out of 6,000 houses ;—that Liverpool and its corporation were distracted by the water supply question ;—and that the greatly overcharged gas consumers of Manchester have been and are paying the corpora tion higher than other towns for gas, inferior to that used in such other towns, thereby furnishing a large annual surplus on the gas account; and that half such surplus (such half amounting to about 15,0001. a year), has been and is applied towards the large water supply expenses in relief pro tanto of the water consumers, the gas consumers and water consumers being by no means wholly identi cal bodies. For the sake of brevity, Ido not allude to the cases of Worcester, Dundee, Oxford, Dunfermline, &c., &c., but beg to refer to the Minutes of Evidence. I further beg to state that there is no Waterworks Company in the United Kingdom subjected to any modern principles of legislation to which the Lambeth Waterworks Company is not subjected by the Act of 1848. It is thereby (among other things) subjected to— The Waterworks Classes Act. The Companies Clauses Act. To such limitation of rates as the Committee of the louse of Commons tkought just with reference to the intended outlay. To limitation of dividends; and To constant supply. Such having been the state of matters in the last session of Parlia ment, I most respectfully say that this Company felt it to be an ex treme hardship to be then &sized to spend a large sum out of the moneys which (relying on their recent Act of Parliament) they had hoped to spend In useful public objects, in opposing the Bill of last session, up to the time when it was thrown out by the unanimous vote of the Honourable Committee of the House of Commons ; and I am truly grieved to state that this Company feel it to be a matter fo just surprise and regret that they should have to look forward to the absolute necessity of a similar unprofitable expenditure in the next session of Parliament, in opposing a Bill which, If it be drawn ac cording to the Standing Orders, must of necessity be in pursuance of the notice given, and must therefore embrace those very principles, or some of them, which were negatived last session, and to which, I say it most respectfully, and in the fullest reliance on the tried justice of yourself and of Parliament, this Company can never consent. I beg, at the same time, that it may be clearly understood that we are far from attributing to the Government, or to yourself as a member of it, the provisions or details of the Bill of last session, or the orm of the fresh notice before alluded to. We believe, on the contrary, that both the Government and yourself only desired, in the last session, to submit to the consideration and decision of Parlia ment, according to its usual rules, this important question; the de tails were necessa:lly left to be prepared elsewhere ; and I shall be able t , show you in what manner they were prepared. For the present, however, again guarding myself against being supposed to attribute to Government the details of the Bill of last Bessie -4 I beg to tall your careful attention to that Bill. Its effect may be fairly stated to be as follows : I . A forced amalgamation, and thereby a compu'sory throwing together of the moneys and affairs of parties who may be composed of both the provident and improvident, and practically a giving the exertions and energies of the enterprising to others, who, instead of receiving a gift, ought to exert themselves. (See Metropolis Water Bill, 1851, sections 1,2, 3,4, 5, &c.) 2. A compelling of the Lambeth Waterworks Company (who had so recently, to the great satisfaction of Parliament, achieved the Thames Bitten source of supply) to abandon that excellent source if required so to do by the Secretary of State, and instead thereof, at the requisition of the Secretary of State, upon the suggestion of the Board of Health, or indeed of any other pers ms, to expend this Company's funds (raised on the faith of another purpose) in brieg ing water from other sources to be pointed out which (after the ex penditure of the money) would, as every practical mind believes, have left London without its supply ; such, for instance, as the Bag shot Sands source, which, even with the addition of the water from the Green Sand district, is admitted to be utterly deficient in quantity, and bad in quality ; or the Woolmers Spring in Herts, a feeder of the River Lee, which an official witness stated as yielding about 2.000,000 gallons daily, but which has been dry far the last two months : or the Darenth and Wandle Rivers, which are com paratively smell streams, and subject to the same fluctuations as all rivers in the chalk and limestone districts, and the quantity of water in which has been seriously reduced during the last summer and autumn, &c.—(see sections 22, 23, 26 ) 3. A compulsory taking away and injuring of the rates, dividends. and general status upon which (as solemnly secured to them by Parliament so reeently as 1848) this Company has just raised an ad ditional capital of between 200,000/. and 300,0001. (See sections 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, &c.) I next beg to state an important fact. This Company having been incorporated in 1785, and havin,i relieved, its district from a great dearth of water, there appeared a rival Company, which Insisted upon competing—procured an Act to be passed, and did accordingly compete with the Lambeth Waterworks Company. Of this rival Company (now, since its junction with another, called the Southwark and Vauxhall Company), a gentleman of eminence is the chairman. The Lambeth Waterworks Company, by its energy and outlay, has, in achieving the Thames Bitten source of supply, outstripped this competitor. Of course, if that competitor could have succeeded by legislative enactment in forcibly uniting itself to this Company, the competitor would have been immensely benefited, however much the Lambeth Waterworks Company and the public would have suf fered, and however great the blow given the great principle of pri vate enterprise. Such was the state of things wheu the Bill of last session appeared, the enactments of which certainly would have given to the Southwark and Vauxhall Company the benefit of the enterprise and outlay of the Lambeth Waterworks Company ; and such is still the state of things now that the notice of application for a Bill to effect (so far as notice is an indication of the intended Bill) the same object has re-appear. d. The Lambeth Waterworks Company entertains, Sir, the deepest respect towards you, and confidence in your determination to up hold what is just and In accordance with the faith of Parliament ; and we are well assured that when the Bill of last session was in troduced you were not made acquainted with the above-mentioned cireumstances, which this Company afterwards embodied in their petition against the Bill, upon which petition they were heard before the Committee. I next beg to call your attention to the minutes of evidence given before the Committee on the Metropolis Water Bill of last session, questions 1,348 to 1,361 inclusive, and to assure you that when the Right Honourable and gifted Chairman of that Committee put those questions to the Secretary of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company there was scarcely a person in the crowded Committee room enter taining a doubt as to who was practically the author of the mails provisions of the Bill then under discussion, or of his influence and co-operation with the acting portion of the Board of Health; and I take the liberty of the more especially pointing your attention to this, because the Lambeth Waterworks Company feel that in truth it is their public spirit and enterprise which, in outstripping a com petitor, have brought upon them the trouble and expense of a pe riodical agitation, attack, and defence. Upon this point I would also point your attention as to who were some of the chief witnesses called in support of the Bill list session ; they were : 1. Mr. Rosseter, the Secretary of the Southwark and Vauxhall Company. 2. The Chairman of the Mlle Company; and 3. Mr. Joseph Quick, the Engineer of that Company. We respectfully protest against the acting portion of the Board of Health being allowed to interfere with and embarrass the dus working of that well-tried and great principle, private enterprise, by which this commercial empire has, under Providence, mainly achieved its greatness, and especially we feel that it would be truly unjust that the Southwark and Vauxhall Company should be allowed to cripple the free d eve l opmen t o f, or t o a ppropriate the fruits of the Lambeth Company's own enterprise, and of the talent of the Lam beth Company's engineer, Mr. S mpsen, to whom alone (as en couragedor whichu h r a ra e h n ies t s e tp r r p ii ri dt s o e n. n a a n da d pwp o outlay), and well-known et practical strikingt o n o eother,eopeee experience no d ca u es e ah t t h aos e workserito b f y t h b e y ' thus far carried it oat. -- fo an inspection of those works I beg respectfully to invite yourself and any other members of the Government, whenever convenient also to enclose a print of the p e titi on w hi c h thi s C ompan y t o you. beg I presented against the Bill of last session, and in the language of en tire moderation and unfeigned respect, but at the same of en tire firmness, to express the plain sense of duty which this Com an - feels of opposing, with every energy, the principles (whenever p y re newen) which were so embodied in that Bill. This Company is truly desirous of continuing to develope their own project in an enterprising and public spirited manner for the public benefit, and in accordance with their Act of Parliament, but if the moderate rights which, having been conferred upon them by that Act, have induced them to spend their money, are ever sought to be broken in upon in a compulsory manner, and this Company's opposition should (contrary to their expectation) prove in vain, then, according to all precedent, they are entitled to the fullest compensation, upon which subject I would beg to call your attention to the following passage in this Company's petition against the Bill of last session, viz. : ..lny alleged That onrpetitioners beg most reseect full y to re p resent that if, for public good, it is sought to deal with your petitioners' property without their consent, and to dissolve their company, the least measure of justice to which they are entitled is to be paid in ready i.e rea Water works w m l. o y ney such a sum as will place all their shareholders in as r ec T io a ia Pecuniary position as they are now in, and also in as good a position as they will be in (if not thus compulsorily inter- A . o h t ) , when i , shallthe scheme heire f u sanctionedlly developed itself; f ;L whereas,a m beth Wuantdeerr caanldleudnina the said Bill, it is proposed to give to your petitioners, In lieu of their ar ketatle.

J. C, p. THE OLD YEAR and the NEW YEAR. Time flies!tpace 7 another year hath perished— Perished and joined th' irrevocable past ; Hopes, in its progress, brightly born and cherished, Have been by shade o'ercast ; And sorrows that seemed evils to our sight Have " turned their silver linings to the light."—DELTA. The advent of a New Year is ever interesting and important to all. Prespeetively and retrospectively :considered, it cannot fail to elicit the reflective attention of the most indifferent persons. The moralist, the philosopher, the historian, and the politician, regard such a "turn of time" with no ordinary observance. There are two questions which natundly suggest themselves, on an exchange of periods like the present—namely, " What was the Old Year ?" and " What will be the New ?" . _ . That the year 1851 has proved an eventful era, no one can dispute. The very numerals by which the past year is distinguished convey an idea sufficiently great. Regarding 1851ina political light, we have to congratulate our selves on the pacific spirit which has pervaded the country at large. We have not to look back on those civil broils which unhappily dis turbed the peace of the kingdom in previous years. if a cloud has passed over the political horizon it has been but of transient duration, and has led to no material consequences. The throne of Queen Victoria has been made the rallying point with all parties, and Royalty and loyalty have happily co-operated together. The event which stands out in the boldest relief with reference to the past year, is undoubtedly that which called together the various tribes of the civilized world. •' Each with his native handiwork and busy tongue." This grand convention of the world's artificers caused the capital of Great Britain to become a centerpoint of attraction, and the tri umphant results which attended this memorable Congress, will not ■oan be obliterated from the memory of the many who were specula tors of the grand display. It is not, however, the province of tradesmen to take discursive views of a year's occurrences, except in connexion with their own immediate speculations. It is a generally received opinion, that the Great Exhibition produced effects in trade contrary to those naturally anticipated ; nor can it be denied that: this is true, to a certain ex tent, in certain quarters. But, whoever may have to complain of a year of disappohat mcnts, it is demonstrable, from positive fact, that HYAM and CO. are exceptions in this respect. While the money market unsteadily fluctuated—while trading speculation seemed, for a time, stagnant —while money was diverted from purchase to pleasure—and while a general disappointment and complaint were prevalent—HYAM and CO. realised the most unprecedented success throughout the whole term of 1851. To date the past year's success to a legitimate cause will be no difficult matter. HYAM and CO., in addition to their reputed merits in business, made the Great Exhibition subservient to their own individual pur poses, by securing those valuable improvements to which the emu lation kindled by this great undertaking gave rise. What invention—what improvement, brought out by the National Exposition, did not HYAM and CO. avail themselves of? All that was really beautifully and good (and of this there was much) was secured by the proprietors in order to give eclat to their specula tions during the past eventful period. The most novel, elegant, and serviceable specimens of materials for dress manufactured into attire on the most approved methods, were furnished by HYA NI and CO., in the year 1851. Hence that unflagging success—that encouraging countenance and support on the part of the public, of which the proprietors have now to boast. It must not be forgotten that, in addition to these re commendations, lIYAM and CO. rendered the past year, in their own offers, a year of economy. While numbers unjustly availed them selves of the extraordinary demand consequent on the Great Ex hibition, HYA NI and CO. diverged in no way from those principles of equity which have ever been the ground-work of their trade. It is infinitely more easy for HYAM and CO. to call public at tention to the advances which they have made, and the encourage ments which they have received, than it is to tender acknowledg ments for the same in anything like an adequate form. HYAM and CO in thanking their supporters, have to address themselves to all classes of the community. The " universal suf frage" of their trading advantages extends itself through every con dition of society, and embraces the interests of all. _ _ . . . _ . The most substantial form of acknowledgment to which HYAM and CO. can have recourse is that of future action. It is to acts that the public chiefly look, and not to words; and HYAM and CO. are resolved that the year 1852 shall be distinguished by advantages in their trade surpassing those of any previous year. The successes of 1851 will be reproductive in 1852, to the essential benefit of the public. By an aivintageous availment of the markets—by a judicious and liberal expenditure of capital—by a progression, in opposition to a retrogression in artistic improvement—by an adherence to refined taste in all articles of dress—by an employment of the best foreign and native skill in manufacture—by an equalization of interests of the buyer and seller, and by every other possible recoinmendation in business, do HYAM and CO. resolve to distinguish themselves during the year which has now dawned, and with this assurance they beg to conclude, wishing their thousandfold supporters " a happy new year."

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS.- Commercial travellers are, of all men, the most social; their profession often places them within situations where they are obliged to freely patronise the science of gastronomy, and to yield to the seductive allurements of the " rosy god ;" no harm from these indul gences would ever be felt if they would take two or three of OLD PARR'S fine stomachic PILLS at night, which would, without the slightest disturbance or pain, clear off all acidities which would otherwise remain in the stomach and bowels, and produce feverish head-ache, and all other unpleasant symptoms. On account of their mild and effective operation, they are now more used by all travel lers than any other medicines are. For sea voyages they are ac; knowledged to be all that are required, preventing all scurvy, &c. The sale of Parr's Life Pills amounts to upwards of 30,000 boxes weekly, more than all other patent medicines put together. The simple fact needs no further comment; it tells plainly that the Pills of Old Parr are the best medicine in the world. .

FAREWELL, OLD YEAR! marked by the revolution of Empires and the convulsion of Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of Industry, fraught vi ith events which will be recorded on the historic page, forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechanic — a greatstep in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the hostile tribes of the human race I _ The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent outlay, amazing preparations, and highly cu lti va ted taste displayed in the memorable Exhibition, aroused th e a tt en ti on of all classes— from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the beloved Sovereign of our country to the most distant member of her extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display, and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the sources of gratification every day unfolding. Great as was this expo sition of the resources, skill, and industry of all nations, approved and instructive as were its results, E. MO SES and SON, th o ugh they had little to learn from the styles an d fabrics of dress prese nted in the World's Show, being connected w ith all the most ce l e b r ated con tributors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their clothing ; yet they had the pleasure of tendering their attention to thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous manner in which approbation was manifested towards their great business undertakings, all based on such a system as gratifies th e obser ver while it secures th e proper advancement of soc i e ty by diff u sing a correct and elevated t aste. This they assert w ith the mos t substantial proof that th e y are giving expression to t h e senti ments of thousands, who will long remember their business Establish . me nts as the principal attractions o f the City. The Gl a ss Palace ma y henceforth be little regarded, or may be entirely remove d ; but E. MOSES and SON, e ncouraged by the confid en ce and patronage of t h ous ands, will endeavour to re n d er their Establishments a ttractive by the magn ificence of their Stock, its ad a pt a ti on t o a ll Seasons, its unparalleled elegance, and its p r i ces, below those of any other h ouse in the kingdom ; they therefore hail the appropriate style of dress at the lowest rate, er to give imme diate New Year, in the spirit of tradesmen, posted up to the present moment, ready to meet all the commands of their friends and City or in patrons in the the Country, to supply at any moment the d m itt o t s e t aaPtPtention, and, they doubt not, great satisfaction to those Gentlemen who favour them with their orders in the Bespoke De partment. For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their eleg ant fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter Wear they recom mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle men whose Sons have returned from school to spend their holidays, to pay a v isit to their City or West End Establishments, and to select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which has the three following rec,uisites combined—Fashion Durability, and Cheapness.

The side of the ship that was payed over with Mr. Hiey's composition about eight months ago is in most excuilent order and free from oxidation, except where so one abrasion has rubbed off the substance; the other sid‘ of her bottom, payed over witk Mr. Peacock's composi lion, is not in such a satis factory state.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY...—The Megmra new steam frigate (screw), 1,391 tons, a ad 350-horse power, Master- Commander J. C. Barlow, has broken down off Ply mouth, from Sheerness, on her first voyage en route to the Cape, with the 60th Riffles on board, whom she em barked at Dover. A letter we have received from an officer says, " She was sent to sea on the 3d of January,. with one of the finest regiments the world could boas_t on board, destined for tho Cespe of Good Hope. it h.a n c i . for some days been known that this gallant and distin guished guished corps was to embark for immediate service thet the Cape, and a steamer lrerge enough to convey whole regiment was ordered to Dover to reeeidvneet,liem. the Mark the result. The morning of the 3d was amid the s sea like glass, and this gall ant band embarked cheers and regrets of the inlaubitants tobelanded at the ainst the Cape, and to immediately take the field ag enemy. This steamer (Meg sera) was as i one of those sin g led superior to anyee out by the Board of Admi)ralty have ready, and so well filled tlatEll no one could c ra e pliin of any want of accom. xiodat i on.She started, o th; prayers and good wishes of t housand t s tterrific accompanied h er. err Night came on, and with it a s O Admiralty,Perfectly gale —no thing stowed away—all c tlnfusionisPei ofandthe t unfitted for a troop-skip vva s h that she had not even a plat 5o fitted to receiv e th e sol - diers' rifles or accoutrements, not , even a lo c k er o f any d esc ription to stow away s been fitt e d t h at there t eeir food; and it i s f art h er a fact that so shamefu ll y has he was not even a place to ectatam the o ffi cers ' wine and stock. At midnight we are told the scene was frightful —BOO men with no place to sleep in_beer-barreis, hampers of better cheer, great drums, officers' stock, men's wives, baggage of e' eery descripti on — all reeling and knocking about togeth , er. At this moment the gale was at its height, the ruddE to became choked, so that for a time the v essel would not steer; her topsides cpened so much as to admit of the water rushing in, and her decks fore and aft were v:p to the ankles in water, at which moment some confusion took place in the engine room, from the circumstan co of some of the compart ments of the machinery ca tching fire," &c.

PROPOSED METHOD OF ARBITRATION. The following communi ca ti on from Lord Ingestrie, relative to a settlement of th e po i nts in dispute between the operative engineers and their employers, was yester day received by Mr. Allan, secretary to tlelga ma,:esdirS,o—ciletwy::. Regent's-park Barrack, J an . 8, 1852. applied to on the 6th of January by some gentlemen to endeavour, as far as was in my power, to arrange the differences of opinion between the masters and the operatives. " The parties applying to me (believing that the masters would not consent to arbitration) were anxious that I should be one of the trustees of a fund to enable the workmen to set up for themselves. My reply was this, that I felt the importance of the question, and that I would do my best to bring matters to a settlement. I ventured to suggest that the three parties, viz., the masters, the operatives, and the unbiassed party, the aristocracy and gentry, should each delegate four people to form a jury; that one of the judges of the land should be invited to preside; and that an eminent lawyer, pro perly selected by the jury, should examine the witnesses of both parties. The verdict to be final. Full liberty for the press, and access to the public, as in a court of justice. " This, perhaps, might show the necessity of a per manent board to settle future disputes, but time alone would prove this. " I would suggest that, as a preliminary measure, twenty gentlemen, ten nominated by masters, and ten by the operatives, should nominate one nobleman or gentle man, one master, and one operative, to form a committee to decide upon what sort of a tribunal should be fixed upon, as to mode of examining witnesses, length of time of trial—in fact, all preliminary measures; and, perhaps, that they should nominate the jury. " I would say that I decline to be a trustee for a fund to enable workmen to set up for themselves, feeling that this matter must, of necessity, owing to the good sense and honesty of Englishmen, be settled by fair arbitra tion. If either party should decline to settle this ques tion by this means - , I think of necessity the other two would unite to quench monopoly. I have been induced to write this letter as I have been told that I have the credit of wishing to be fair in matters brought before my notice. I can honestly say, I have no bias for either party; but, for the sake of peace, wish to see what is right predominate. Furthermore, I fell it my duty, as well of those of the upper classes, to; interfere in this matter. I have forwarded a copy of this letter to the se cretary of the Masters' Association as well as to yourself; and pray make what use of it you like. My apology for troubling you must be my wish to assist both parties. " I have the honour to remain your obedient servant, " 1N 5 7 T Littler E , A S u li b e . :s L t r i Sub.-Lieut. u e t t: l w s t t i e f o e ha Guards. ;el " Mr. Allan, 25, This letter was submitted to the consideration of the council last night, but no definite conclusion was arrived at upon the subject to which it referred. The other business of the evening was confined to re ceiving the reports of deputations. It was stated that efforts were being made by a number of men belonging to the establishment of Messrs. Easton and Amos, Borough, to raise capital and engage premises, so as to start in business for their own employ ment, in the course of next week. Also that the mon belonging to another shop on the Surrey side of the water, about forty in number, have subscribed 51. each, and taken premises for a similar purpose, having already obtained orders to a considerable amount—one being for the construction of a 16-horse power steam-engine. Some misconception, it was stated, is abroad as to the number of hands likely to be actually thrown out of employ by the closing of the establishments noticed to that effect for Saturday next, and which has been gene rally stated as high as 30,000 men, including members of the Amalgamated Society, about 12,000 men, and other mechanics and labourers employed in connexion with them. The mistake appears to have arisen from a supposition that the whole of the members of the society would be thrown out; whereas not more than about 5,000 members belong to establishments included in the employers' determination. Of these, 3,000 are about equally divided between London and Manchester, 400 at Bolton, 50 at Stockport, 40 at Newton near Warring ton, 90 at Ipswich, 20 at Southampton, and 600 at Old ham. The secretary of the Amalgamated Society has no information of notices to close having been given at any other places, and is calculated that the whole number of hands working in the shops to be closed amounts to about 12,000. In the metropolis some large establishments will remain open; among others, that of Mr. J. Apsley, Cornwall-road, Lambeth; whilst in Man chester, on the contrary, work will be stopped at every shop in which members of the Amalgamated Society are employed. The works of Messrs. Ransoms and May, it is understood, will be only nominally closed, as they will be re-opened on Monday morning for the admission of all who may choose to return under the old system. It has been stated that the metropolitan employers will re open at the expiration of a month upon the same terms, but no public pledge to that effect has yet been given. The " Moulders," hitherto a distinct society from the Amalgamated Engineers, seem likely to become an active party in the dispute, as they have conveyed an intima tion to several employers that, in the event of their losing work through the realization of the threat to close the establishments, although they have not hitherto in terfered in any way with the matter, they will only re turn to their shops upon the same terms as are now de manded by the Amalgamated Society. The Eastern London branch ot the Amalgamated So ciety of Engineers held a meeting last evening at the Pt unix Tavern, Ratcliff-cross, for the purpose of taking ing into consideration the resolutions adopted by the executive of the Masters' Association on Tuesday last, and also to consider the propriety of empowering the executive council of the Amalgamated Scciety to appro priate 10,0001. of the society'. funds to the opening ot an establishment for self-employment, w ithout the interven tion of the masters. Upwards of 300 members of the district association were present. Mr. JOHN EGLIN having been called to the char, briefly explained the objects of the meeting, and adif 1 t_n called upon Mr. Newton to lay befor e them any - inrefencee to thel information is w su h e ich bet h w e ee h n ad employed. t hree employers ve d and th Mr. NEWTON stated that a lthou g h the present meeting was very numerously attende d, y et he believed due notice had not been given to a ll the members, and therefore h e did not think it right to come to any vote now on the su bjects which they had met t o consider. I t was quite right, however, that those subjects should be discussed, and that another meeting should be called, to W hi c h the members should be dul y summone d. Ile believeda the executive council ha d acted no t only with prompt ness, but discretion, because the masters were going to Close their establishments on the 10th, throw the workm en on the worl d. It should never an complained because theto masters wanted to oin whether they re tthoem en liked to do so or n ot. The employers con tinueworck,thbeupetworkmen under the regulations whichfused adopted since the Ist of January. The employers had taken very curious notions o f the. duties of workmen. twhoerkmt_ e e n mselves had been pledged to to come individually to treat w ith them, They wante w d h t i h le e a ct in accordance with the the combined masters. The proposition of the osit workmen into fractions , ientomasjitypolirtthoef and deal with them in detail, came with an ill grace from a body of men who were acting in a collective capacity.—(Hear.) It was well known that amono t , . t o f persons who he engineers there were thousands could speak to their employers with the same plainness and firmness as to men of their own order. A considerable number of the emyloyers in tended to keep the best of the men attached to their es tablishments by sending them to jobwork in different places; but these men would surely not allow themselves to be made a catspaw of, to the injury of their follow workmen. Forty workmen had already put down 51. each, making 2001. for the purpose of opening a working man'e establishment, and they were now negotiating for suitable premise 7, and were about engaging a manager to conduct the works. A large quantity of tools has also been contributed.—(Hear, hear.) There was no doubt of their commencing immediately, as they had promises of several jobs already.—(Loud cheers.) Those men had last night asked the advice of the executive council on the subject, and they were told to proceed with the undertaking, but that when other workshops were esta blished on a similar principle, they should be all brought under some central control, so that one shop should not be altogether idle while the others were fully occupied. —(Cheers.) The society had received promises of sup port from several noblemen, who were willing to become trustees of those new establishments, and that circum stance would carry away a great deal of unjust suspicion that might otherwise attach itself to the movement. One trade bad informed the council that 2,000 members had agreed to pay out of their earnings five shillings a week each to support the engineers in this struggle.—(C heers.) Mr. Newton then proceeded to vindicate the societ y from the charge of d es i r in g to exclude the labourer s. He thought it was their duty to assist the lab ourers, the isammermen, the gatekeepers, and every class of persons THE WHIG MINISTERIAL CRISIS —MORE IMPORTAAT REVELATIONS. (From the Advertiser.) We are again in a position to make some further im portant revelations, respecting the circumtaneee under which Lord Palmer s ton wa s dismissed from the office of Foreign S e cretary ; an d thes e , it will be seen, when we h ave l a id th em b e f ore t h e public, place the conduct of the Premier in a far more unfavourable light than that in which it has already been exhibited. Suppose we put a question or two to the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, with the view of elicit ing one or two astounding facts. Can it then be true — for the thing would seem incredible—that Lord John Russell, immediately after informing Lord Palmerston that he could not, in consequence of his " want of judg ment and discretion," be permitted any longer to hold the seals of the Foreign-office —can i: be true that, in the plenitude of his a nx i e t y to di sarm the f uture hostility of the Noble Viscount, he actually of fered. t o . appoint him to ano th er i mportant post, an d immediately to raise him to the Peerage? This, we re peat, seems so startling, so incredible, that we put it in the form of a query. A n d can it also be true that in refusing ei▪ ther and both the proffered honours, Lord Palmerston wrote a l etter to Lord John Russell, so in stinct with scorn and indignation, that it must have blanched the cheek of the Premier when he read it? And, further, did Lord P a l merston in that letter, which will be lai▪ d before Parliament immediately on its re assembling, boldly and broadly taunt th e P rem i er w i t h the inconsistency of his conduct in making such an offer —adding, with a crush ing weight of logi c , th a t if h e h a d been guilty of "such a want of judgment and discretio n " as Lord John had charged him with, he must be alto gether unfit to fill any other post of Importance. Is we repeat, all this true ? It seems so incredible that it is with di ffi culty we can bring ourselves to believe it; and yet it comes to us in a shape so unquestionable, that we cannot withhold our credence from it. _ We stated some days since, that Lord John Russell, in announcing that Lord Palmerston ha d . resigned his situation as Foreign Secretiry, did not give his eight colleagues who were presdnt, the slightest idea of the reasons why Lord Palmerston had come to the resolu tion of ceasing to b e a mem b er o f t h e Whi g Cabinet. We are now in a position to add, that this does not un fold, to its fall extent, the disingenuousness, to call it by no harsher name, of which the Premier was guilty on that occasion. We challenge any of the Ministerial organs to deny the fact, that Lord John Russell left the impression on every member of his Cabinet present on the occasion, that the retirement of Lord Palmerston was purely spontaneous. We ask those Noble Lords and Right Hon. Gentlemen who composed that Council of nine, out of a Cabinet consisting of fifteen members—. we ask them whether the very words which the Noble Lord used on the occasion were not these:—" I have now to make the announcement that Lord Palmer ston has withdrawn from the office of Foreign Secretary, and that Lord Gtanville has agraed to take his place?" Did not, we further ask, the countenance of every Cabinet Minister present indi cate an utter amazement, mi ng l e d with an expression of disappointment or regret, when the announcement was made? It was, we happen to know, to the circumstance of their being so overwhelmed with surprise, that they scarcely knew where they were or what they were doing, that the fact is to be attributed, that not one of them thought of asking a single question of the Premier relative to the circumstances under which the " with drawal" had occurred, when he simply proposed that Lord Palmerston's resignation be ac ce pt e d, an d L o rd Granville's appointment be approved of. Then, again, did not Lord John Russell, immediately on the Cabinet C ounc il b rea ki ng up, hurry down to Windsor and infor m h er M a j esty that Lord Palmerston ' s resignation had been accepted at the Cabinet Council held that . afternoon, without givin g hi s S overe i gn t h e slightest idea of the circumstances under which the concurrence of the Cabinet to that resignation had been obtained? And now a word or two as to the influences which have operated on Lord John Russell in the deliberate sacrifice he has made of Lord Palmerston. We affirm, in the most confident manner, that the primo mover in the matter has been Prince Schwartzenberg, in whose person the entire Government of Austria is centred. It was he who, for several months, refused to send any Austrian Ambassador to the Court of St. James's, as- , signing as the reason, when asked for it, that Lord Pal merston was still at the head of Foreign affairs. And it was he who refused to receive Lord Westmoreland, our Ambassador at Vienna, still assigning as the sole reason that Lord Palmerston was Secretary for For reign Affairs. Russia is also implicated in the cabals against Lord Palmerston; but her inter ference, in opposition to the Noble Lord, has not been so open and above board as that of Austria. Still it was made sufficiently apparent to those who pay attention to the movements of the diplomatic world, from the fact that, though Baron Brunow did not pay a single visit to Lord Palmerston since his return, two months pre viously, from St. Petersburgh, the Noble Lord had no sooner been ejected from Downing-street, than the Russian Ambassador found his way to the Foreign office, to pay his respects to Lord Granville. Lord John Russell, therefore, has but become the instrument of giving effect to the intrigues of Prince Schwartzenberg and his continental co-conspirators. Lord Palmerston has thus been sacrificed to the absolute Courts, and the party by whom the disgraceful transaction has been managed is no other than Lord John Russell, COURT CIRCULAR.
