GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN, On Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR In tho Chair, For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy. A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has sent us his notes, from which we make a few extracts. I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it would afford you to see all your' show men, and especially our mechanics and industrious artisans, who it has just been said " Often become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E. MOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see these, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding coun try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can labour, a fund on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you have to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement, and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will enable y o u further to extend your liberality in yo u r excellent plans. Economy and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to all classes, purchasing every article of Dress •at E. MOSES and SON'S, Aldgate and Minorles, or New Oxford-street and Hart street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or great destitution, leaving the pe o p le a large amount of m oney purely the result of superior quality a nd hew p rices. The p rices b eing more than 40 per cent. lower than a n y other house, constitutin g an entire saving of cash to meet acciden t, scarcit y , and old a g e. Th e amount i r n e a family expenditure— is prevented amount of distress in the City a nd in other places. I, therefore, urge saved a n fortune ior ty beforeper cent. age . d makes fl e e s e s a , l a a n r d g e h s a u s m a on any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSES and the fact of their being Tailors , Hatters, Hosiers, &c., &c., to the No - SON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, not onl y f rom bility, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion, and the economisers of the money of our distinguished and wealthy t citizens, and endeavour to exte nd the benefits of such a r eduction all classes under your influence and en g a g ed in y our serv ice , by directing them to go to E. MOSES and SON for every article of dres4, which will secure them from the sorrows of destitution and the humiliation of mendicancy. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. The First Lord of the Admiralty, the Right Hon. Sir F. T. Baring, Bart., has left town on a short visit to the Queen at Windsor Castle, by command of her Majesty. Rear-Admiral the Hon. M. F. F.

Admiral Mudge, as stated in the " Naval Biography," is son of the late John Mudge, Esq., of Plymouth, an eminent physician. This dlicer entered the navy Nov. I, 1780, as captain's servant, on hoard the Foudroyant, 84, Captain John Jer v i s , and on April 21, 1782, assisted at the capture, aft er a gallant action of neerlY an hour, attended, however, with no casualty to the British, of the French 74-gun ship P egase, whose loss, besides being seriously damaged, amo unted, out of a crew of 700 men, to 80 killed and wound e d . During the next seven year* we find him serving on the Home and American Captain Hon. George Cranfield Berkeley; stations, chiefly in the capacity of midshipman, on board the Peg,ase and another ship, both commanded by Sampson, 64, Csptain Charles Hope ; Perseus, 22, Captain George Palmer; Leander, 50, flag-ship o f Her bert Sawyer, and Bombay Castle' 74, Captain Robert Dec, 15, Fanshawe. He was then .May 24, 1789, promoted to a lieutenancy in the Centurion, 50, bea r i ng the flag, at Ja maica, of Rear-Admiral Peter Affleck, and he was next Rear-Adatiral appointed, Nov. 26, in the same year, to the Carnatic, 74, Captain Ford, lying at Plymouth; Jaw 20, 1790, again to the Perseus, Captain John Gibsou, employed on Feb. 8, 1794, as senior, to the Discovery and Providence, the Irish and Channel stations; and in which ships he was for six pliaq_ 44 ..,, , 1790, and C pl, fen voyages - Urdisichiery;eitider 'Cap taints Vairteturveei , , d 'Brough ton. When at Nootka Souad in the Discovery, Mr. Mudge was dispatched in an open vessel to India, with a crew of only 14 men. Being awarded a second pro metal commission, Nov. 24, 1797, he obtained command Nov. 8, 1798, of the Fly, 16, and while in that sloop, in which he continued until posted Nov. 15, 1800, he effected the capture of the French privateers La Glaneur, of 6 guns and 32 men, and La Trompeur, and was all but lost on a n i mmense island of ice during his passage home from Halifax with dispatches from his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent. His subsequent appointments were: -April 1, 1801, to La Constance, 24; Sept. 23, 1802, to the Blanche, of 44 guns; Nov. 18. 1805, to the 131103aiX, 3 6; and July 4, 1814 ( having left the Phceaix in May, 1810), to the Valiant, 74. In La Constance Captain Mudge, in the spring of 1801, rece i ve d the thanks of th e British mer chants and consuls at Lisbon and Oporto for the service he had rendered them in safely convoying a fleet from Falmouth to Portugal, and also for the activity be had exhibited in collecting some vessels at Viana, laden with brandy, which could not have otherwise been got ready to go home under his protection. About the same period he captured the Spanish national cutter El Duid es , o f 8 guns and 69 men, and lugger privateer Venture, of 2 guns and 27 men. In July, 1801, with the assistance of the Stork, 18, and of the boats of the two ships, we find Camara Spanish making p r i ze near C a pe Ortegal, of El ' Spanish privateer of 22 guns and 110 men, and of her consort, a vessel mounting 10 . guns. La C onstance was subsequ en tl y engage d in conveying a num ber of disbanded foreign soldiers from Lyming ton to the Elbe. At the close of 1803, Captain Mudge, then in the Blanche, was employed at the blockade of St. Domingo, w h e re, in less tha n a month, he capt ure d and destroyed 24 of the enemy's vessels. In the course of 1804-5 he had the increased good fortune to take, .independently of a large number of merchant men, the Gracieuse and Amitie, French national vessels of 14 buns each, the D u tch schooner Nimrod, of 4 guns, and the French privateer Lo Hasard,of 3 guns and 58 men. On July 19, in the latter year, however, the Blanche was herself captured (after an action of 45 minutes, and a loss, out of 215 men, of 8 killed and 15 wounded, and when o n t h e verge of sinking) by a powerful French squadron, consisting of La Topaz© frigate, of 44 guns and 410 men, one sloop of 22 guns and 236 men, a corvette of 18 guns and 213 men, and a brig of 16 guns and 123 men. Under such circumstances, Captain acquitted by a Mudge was, of course, h onoura bly court martial of all blame in the loss of his ship; and not only acquitted but eulogised for his very able and gallant conduct. He afterwards served, as above, in the Phoenix and Valiant, on the Bay of Biscay, Lisbon, and Brazilian l i stations. The latter ship he left in August, 1815. He became a rear -admiral July 22, 1830; and a vice-admiral Nov. 23, 1841. Mr. R. C.

THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON. PLYMOUTH, MoNDAY.—Yesterday the Rev. John Hatchard preached in the evening on behalf of the un fortunate persons who have lost their relatives through the destruction of the Amazon. The church was densely crowded, as in the morning, many persons having ex pected again to hear the Rev. William Blood, in which they were disappointed. There was a collection again at the close of the service, when 131. was subscribed. The Rev. W. Blood preached at the same time in St. Andrew's Chapel, on the invitation of the Rev. George Hadow, the incumbent; the chapel, as may be supposed, was densely crowded, and there was at one time scarcely any passing through the street, from the press of people anxious to get in. The Reverend Gentleman again gave a description of the scene which he wit nessed on board, and was listened to with the deepest interest by all present. At the close there was another collection, when, the amount subscribed was 371. 69.; making the total of the three services above 103/. The Rev. Mr. Blood preaches again in St.' Andrew's Church on Wednesday morning. We ought to have stated that when the passengers arrived here they were waited upon by the Rev. John Hatchard, who offered them the use of his house, and the advance of any moneys that they might require.. The Spanish gentle man, &sailor Juan de Cima, it is said, lost 18,000 dollars. Messrs. Fox, the agents of the West India Mail Steam Packet Company, to whom the Ammon belonged, also offered their assistance ; and the Rev. W. Blood was very kindly taken care of by Samuel Dory, Esq., who supplied him with clothes and whatever he required. The reverend gentleman has been and is still staying at his friend's house. Senhor Juan de Cima left the Royal Hotel on Sqnday morning, and proceeded by train to London. In the evening Mr, Kilkelly also left for Bris tol. This gentleman is an agent at Barbadoes to the firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co. We are glad to state that the passengers who arrived here met with the greatest kindness. Mr. Kilkelly told us last night that if he were to stay till he had partaken of the hospitality of all from whom he had received in vitations, he should never be able to leave the town. He promised, however, to return here before long. The following official communication will afford con. siderable satisfaction:— " Admiralty, Jan. 19, 1852. " Gentlemen,—ln reply to your letter of the 17th .natant, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you that an investigation (independent of that now going on) into all the circum stances of the loss of the Amazon will be made by the Board of Trade, with whom the duty of making such inquiry rests—l am, &c., " W. A. B. HAMILTON. " To Messrs. Nash and Nash, Colonial Agents, Westminster. .It will, doubtless, be interesting to our renders to learn that a piece of pine wreck, about twenty feet long and about five feet wide, apparently a portion of a pad dle-box, has been washed ashore on Swanpool beach, near Falmouth. The wood appears new, and bears marks of fire, and probably formed a part of the Ama zon. The preventive men are watching for other parts of the same wreck which may be washed on this coast, and will, of course, keep a sharp look-out for the bodies of any of the unfortunate sufferers who may have pe rished 'in the fearful catastrophe of the destruction of the Amazon. [PRIC E SD. • THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. (From the Times). The " Executive Council " of the operative engineers appear very properly impressed with the results of Lord Ceanworth's answer to their application. This reply, so clear and incontestable in its arguments, so conclusive in its judgment, and withal so benevolently expressed a n d delivered, must convince every sensible workman that in following Mr. Newton and his colleagues he has no ground to stand upon. If "co-operative shops," against all the probabilities of calculation and experince, can be made to succeed, the working engineers will, of course, get the benefit of the venture; but they can ex pect no support in the appeal which they have made to the public; and their demands, as Lord Cranworth has informed them, are not only inconsistent with common justice between employers and employed, but are abso lutely beyond the power of le i ;islation, whatever might be a legislator's desire. To modify, if possible, the effects of so decisive an opinion, • the " General Secretary" of the society ad dressed us a letter, in which ho alleges that Lord Oran worth's conclusions " rested upon a view of the case and which incl u d e d d emands the society had never made, which ,were opposed to their o inions " The de mand here all u d e d to is that concerning opinions." employ ment of unskilled labourers. On the denial thus ad vanced we will presently speak further, but, for the main argument, it i s qu i te sufficient to state ' that Lord Cranworth's conclusions were wholly irrespective in their force and substance of thi s particular pretension. If the society never preferred such a request, then no such request exists to be tested by Lord Cranworth's rule, but his Lordship's decision was not only final, but gene ral. He laid down the common sense of the whole case, whatever forms it might assume. " All the relations," said he, " between employers and employed are, or ought to be, those of perfectly free agents." It matters nothing whether these relations concern the description of particular workmen, or the hours of work, or the rate of wage. Every one of these questions is a mere ques tion of bargain. Every engagement between master and man is a free and open contract between twaindividuala on terms to be decided by themselves. "I do not won der," said Lord Cranworth, "that the masters refuse to agree to any arbitration that is to impose upon them any restriction whatever as to the terms of such contracts. No one ought to presume to define such terms, any more than to bind the men in like manner." Now, it must be pretty evident that these plain conclusions have nothing whatever to do with the character of any particular demand. Whether the men did or did not include in the points for which they desired an arbitration the em ployment of certain kinds of labour, is altogether beside the question. The opinion of Lord Cranworth was this, —that no arbiter could interfee e between employers and employed, or ought to do so if he could; and with this the opinion of the public entirely coincides. But now, as the " General secretary" has ventured upon an overt denial of en important point, and as three independent gentlemen have tendered him a species of support in his abnegation, we will once more revert to the subject. " The Amalgamated Society," writes Mr. Allan, "do re ask for the discharge of unskilled la bourers." "We know perfectly well," adds Lord Goderich, for himself and his two colleagues, " that you made no such demand." Now, if this disclaimer merely affirms that in the particular notice with which the operations of the society commenced no express demand fur the dismissal of unskilled labourers was contained, we are ready to acknowledge a fact which, with the documents actually before the public, could never have been brought into dispute. The demands made in the circular summons of November were for the abolition of overtime and piecework only; but to assert upon this evi dence that the society has never sought to restrict the em ployment of "labourers," or to compass the removal of these unskilled hands, is a piece of equivocation so disre putable that we must perforce seek for some separation on such a point between Viscount Goderich and Mr. W. Newton. In May last the society did send a depu tation to Oldham, expressly for the purpose of seeing that their own resolves, their own deliberate decisions, were carried out by Messrs. Hibbert's men; and the members of this deputation signed a document which only allowed Messrs. Hibbert the interval between that period and Christmas for transferring all planing, shaping, and boring machines from the management of labourers " entirely into the hands of the mechanics." 'lho original copy of this document we have seen. In July Mr. W. Hemm, the Secretary of the Society at Manchester, addressed to Messrs. Parr, Curtis, and Madeley, from the branch-office of the society in that town, ten demands on behalf of their men, of which eight had reference to the employment of unskilled hands, and to the partial concession of these demands Messrs. Parr and Co. were coerced. The preface to the society's printed rules speaks of the " vested interests " of skilled engineers in engineer ing labour, and of the " encroachments to be restricted" by the determined efforts of the society. The rules themselves limit actually the number of apprentices, and we presume Lord Goderich will not affirm that they who circumscribe so jealously the admission of " legal" apprentices, for fear of stocking the labour-market, would permit the market to be stocked by men who had never been apprentices at all. Furthermore, during this very discussion, have not the denials of the " Council " on this point been moat raanineetedly qualifitd and guarded? Did not their speakerS , say that they made no demand for the " present dismissal of labourers?" Did not the men at Southampton make the very same re serve? Did not Mr. Newton himself limit his gracious indulgence to the labourers who had " earned a title " to their'machines, and are not the unskilled hands them selves, as shown by their speeches at Manchester on Monday last, perfectly impressed with the truth of their position? In the face of all this evidence, is it not the veriest jugglery in the world to assert that the so ciety " has not made a demand" to which it is absolutely Committed by its own rules and transactions, simply because it has not thought fit to include it in the parti cular notice commencing its operations? However, to bring this point to an issue once for all, we here challenge the " Council" of the society to a public avowal that any labouring man in these kingdoms is free to bestow his labour on any honest work in which he can find employ ment, and in which he and his employer can come to satisfactory terms. If they will make this acknowledg ment they will not only clear themselves on the point in dispute, but they will have made a great advance towards a settlement of the whole quarrel. If they will not, it is hopeless for them to attempt any delusion of the public by quibbles or evasions. It was not without some surprise that we observed the inheritor of at least a Ministerial name affix his signature to a document implying some species of par ticipation in the purposes of Mr. W. Newton and his colleagues, but we avail ourselves of the occurrence to bring the question more closely to issue for the conclu sive information of the country at large. Lord Goderich, Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Vansittart have plainly no objects in view but those of pacification and benevolence. It would be injustice to raise a question on such a point, and we trust, therefore, that they will attend to the ob servations subjoined. The Amalgamated Society, to whose operations they are giving a partial support, has commenced a deliberately-planned scheme of aggression against the employers of engineering labour for the an ticipated advantages of those employed. Its views in clude especially a forced distribution of labour among its members, and the prevention of any 035 1% making more than what are estimated a s ix days' work in a week, however s timulate d lestpY circumstances, or however industriously inclined,_ there should be a smaller amount of labourava available for the men on the society's lists. It endeavours, moreover,t as high as to keep the market of engineering labour possible by forcibly stopping the supply and while it (;whands to all but would restrict employment, as we have sh e thos ands as few its own licensed hands, it would keep as possible, and maintain them in the greatest rate of wage for the smallest rate of work. It has assumed to control not only the labour which masters might employ, but the wages by which this labour might be paid, and has enforced its assumptions by the withdrawal of workmen previously well satisfied with their engage ments. Extending its views by degrees it has resolved on a general organization of labour, and has opened the campaign with the two demands considered least likely to create alarm, candidly avowing that other measures were to follow b y Which " lasting social advantages" would be secured. These demands it now advocates by arguments grossly insincere, and with either a concealment or denial of the purposes re cently acknowledged to remain behind. Such ' l the Ama l ga mated Society, suc h i ts aims , suchand the s posi tion in which it unexpectedly discovers itself. Each and a ll of these propositi ons we holdl ourselves prepared to the establish, either by th e printed rules of the society itself, or by published documents of the committ e es out of which the soci e t y was Constituted, signed by the very members who compose its present council. We submit, therefore, a reasonable alternative to the three gentle men who have h d e arge themselves with the uasi a -patron age of the society ings. Will they gainsay the asser tions we have made, and invite us to the recapitulation of proofs already ' given, or will they assert that, things being so, the Amalgamated Society deserves the support of the community in its present efforts? MR . —ISR AELI ' S P OLITICAL B IO GRAPHY OF GEORGE BENTINCK.—A third and revised edition of this work has just appeared. " A political biography of Lord George Bentinck, by Mr. Disraeli (says the Dublin Univer sity Magazine), must needs be a work of interest and im portance. Either the subject or the writer would be suffi cient to invest it with both—the combination surrounds it with peculiar attractions. In this most interesting volume Mr. Disraeli has produced a memoir of his friend in which he has combined the warmest enthusiasm of affectionate attachment with the calmness of the critic, and in which he has not only added to his reputation, but we verily believe must increase his influence as a politician." WRECK OF THE SHIP SCOTIA AT LABUAN.— Accounts from Labuan, received by the Hon Company's steamer Pluto, state that the ship Scotia, of 790 tons, of and from -Bombay to China, with cotton, was lost on a small island to the north of Labuan about the 18th November last. The captain and some Europeans and lascars arrived at La buan in a boat , The Lad y Rallies , which was landing coals at port Rallies, immediately proceeded to the scene of the wreck, and had not returned at latest dates. No liv es were lost at the time of the wreck, but the ship is reported to h a ve been full of water when left.— Singapof e Free Press, Dec. 5.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The late fearful catastrophe of the loss of the Amaz)n by fire may prove of some future benefit to society, and be the means of saving many lives and much property hereafter, if not too speedily forgotten by the public. I beg to throw out, for the consideration of ship owners, the following hints of a means by which I believe such melancholy events would become impossible:— I propose that along the side of every beam in the vesselishould be run a leaden pipe, of about one inch and a-half bore; that these pipes should have a slit in the lower part, about the one-eighth of an inch wide, and that each pipe should be in ;connexion with an iron tube, about 3 inches in the bore, which should run from stem to stern, on each side of the vessel. These iron tubes, or feeders, should be supplied with water from two forcing pumps, one at the bow, the other at the stern. In the event of fire, the forcing pumps would throw a continuous volanaZi of water from every bentn in the ship-ispon the deck. below, with great force, nearly in the manner that we see water, by its own weight, thrown from the tail of a water-cart on the roads. I feel sure that in five minutes every part of every deck would be inundated, and that no fire could possibly get ahead while a powerful rushing stream of water was thrown upon it from each beam over its locality. The beam pipes should be fitted with stop• cocks, to shut off the stream from those parts of the ship where the fire was known not to be. If the ship were head to wind, the bow-pump could always be used, and if before the wind, that at the stern; so that in no case would these pumps become unavaible, as they might be if placed amidships. The expense of these fittings would be very trifling. In addition to this suggestion, I beg to add, that not only should every vessel have a man stationed to look out a-head for dangers, but that day and night there should be a fire-watch; that is, a man parading the decks whose first business should be to watch for symptoms of that dreadful enemy, fire; and that man should be provided with a gong, to be struck instantly on his even suspecting fire, and on no other occasion whatever, so that every soul, on hearing the fatal summons, would know whet was the matter, and the confusion occasioned by cries of inquiry and alarm, at least, would be spared. But the fire-pumps should be often tried, and k e pt in perfect order; as, I may add, should the boa ti t n s, ca e n aC is h te o rs (water-t i ght) of which should have a breaker, or small cask of water, t lashed hatth i e n pi people 01 , 0 and, pf e biscuits.eeuanpdine thein Thent sheeamt it s a would few be impossible should p er i s h f rom g hunger and thirst. The boats should not;be hampered, as were those of the ill-fated Amazon; but free to hoist out instantly—the oars lashed in them. The beam-pipes in the magazine would flood all the powder in three minutes, and do away with the danger of an explosion. W hen this plan is adopted people may go to sea with out fear of destruction by the raging element ; and ves sels may be insured from fire at a small expense. Your obedient servant. R. J. MORRISON, R.N. LORD PALMERSTON.-THE NEW LIBERAL MINISTRY. __ Our readers will remember the extraordinary para graph which we copied, three weeks ago, from the Breslau Gazette, under the head of " Vienna, Decem ber the 23d," containing an announcement of Lord Palmerston's dismissal from the Whig Ministry, by Lord John Russell, twenty-four hours before the slightest suspicion of such a circumstance was enter tained in London. As the Viennese intelligence re specting the Cabinet proceedings in Dewing-street, proved so singularly correct then, there is no reason why it should not be equally accurate now. We there fore invite the special attention of our readers to the correspondence in the Times of yesterday, dated " Vi enna, Jan. 14," in which, after describing a heavy fall which !had taken lace in the Austrian funds, and assigning causes for the unusual depression, the writer makes use of these remarkable words:—" I may add, that another reason for the depression of the money market is ho very prevalent idea that Lord Pal merston will ere long again be a member of the Ca binet." We have characterised these as remarkable words; and so they undoubtedly are, inasmuch as they show that in Vienna, where, from the close intimacy which now exists between the Austrian and English Courts, Downing-street secrets seem batter known than in London, the belief prevails, that Lord Palmerston is on the eve of returning to office. The Stock Exchange speculators of Vienna believe this, and, like a nameless class of persons, who also believe, they tremble. Of course the prevailing impression in Vienna. that " Lord Palmerston will, ere long, again be a member of. the Cabinet," implies the dissolution of the present Admintihse tration," and the Noble Lord's return to power as . Prime Minister of a new Liberal Government. —.Horning Advartiser. ------- MELANCHOLY DISASTER AT SEA. • The Gibraltar Chronicle of the 12th inst. contains the following account of a melancholy disaster at sea:— " Two sailors (John Dillon and William Smith), b e . barque Sapph er go of guano, b oun d o , Captain M`Donald, longing to the British of and trona Sunderland , with a c to Alexandria, arrived hero on Friday evening last, an d gave the following account:— " "Ile loss of the above vessel took place in ahe y s quall, west of Cape St .

Four of the crow took to the jolly boat; the the mate, and cabin -boy to another; b at and two othe rs went down with the vessel.

Th e y travelled night and day over moun tains and thr ou g h valleys without food, and two of them b e i ng unable to p roceed wore left in the fields in a dying sta te by Dillo n and Smith, who arrived, as above stated, in a most d e p lorable condition, after wand er i ng f u ll 20 days in a c ountr y to them unknown, and with ou t s h e lter o f any kind durin g the whole ti me.' "To this m oment no further articulars have been rece i ve d ; but it is to be hoped that th e t wo men left behind will have bee n humanely treated if discovered , and that g ood tidin gs will reach the garrison relative to 1 the safety of those who were in the other boat."
