" The various forms of bodily and mental weakness, incapa city, suffering, and disease, faithfully delineated in this cau tiously written and practical work, are almost unknown, gene rally misunderstood, and treated upon principles correspond ingly erroneous and superficial, by the present race of medical practitioners. Hence the necessity for the publication of a timely safeguard, a silent :yet friendly monitor, or, where debi lity has made threatening inroads, the means of escape and the certainty of restoration. The evils to which this book adverts are extensive and identical in their secret and hidden origin, and there are none to wham, as Parents, Guardians, Heads of Families, and especially of public Schools, is confided the care of young people, who ought to remain for a moment devoid of that information and those salutary cautions this work is in tended to convey. Not .only are the most delicate forms of generative debility neglected by the family physician, but they require for their safe management the exclusive study of a life entirely abstracted from die routine of general practice, and (as in other departments •of the profession) attentively concen trated in the daily and long-continued observation requisite for the correct treatment of sexual infirmities. " If we consider the topics touched upon, either in a moral or social view, we find the interests and welfare of mankind seriously involved. The effects of licentious, indiscriminate and secret indulgence in certain practices, are described with an accuracy and force which display at once profound reflec tion and extensive practical experience,"—Planet. " The best of all Friends is a the Professional Friend : and in no shape can he be consulted with greater safety and secresy than in " Lucas on Manly Vigour." The initiation into vicious indulgence—its progress—its results in both sexes, are given with faithful, but alas ! for human nature, with afflicting truth. However, the A.uthors have not exposed the evil with-, out affording a remedy-. It shows how " Manly Vigour" temporarily impaired, and mental and physical emasculation, produced by uncontrollod indulgence of the passions, can be restored ; how the sufferer, who has pined in anguish from the consequences of early indiscretion—afraid almost to encounter his fellow man, can rF:gain the vigour of health and moral courage. The work 1.5 written in a concise and perspicuous style, displaying how often fond parents are deceived by the outward physical appearance of their youthful offspring ; how the attenuation of the frame, palpitation of the heart, derange ment of the nervous system, cough, indigestion, and a train of symptoms indicative of consumption or general decay, are often ascribed to wrong causes ; and instead of being the natural re sults of congenital dr.bility or disease, are the consequences of an alluring and pernicious practice, alike destructive to the mind and body."—New Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Although a newspaper is not the ordinary channel for the expression of opinion upon the merits of a medical work, this remark is open te exception in any instan ce w h ere th e pu bli c, a nd not the isolated and exclusive members of the profession, are the parties addressed. Upon that which is directed to men indiscriminately, the world will form its own opinion, and will demand that medical works for public study should be devoid of that mysterious technicality in which the science of medicine has hitherto shrouded its own ignorance. The work before us treats of subjects we believe generally, yet very strangely, neglected by the medical attendant, and requiring doubtlessly (as in operative midwifery _ and the surgery o f th e eye) an entire devotedne ss to a deeplyimportant branch of study. The tone of this book is highly moral, and it abounds in well-written, harrowing, yet correct displays of the suffering consequent upon unbridled sensualism. No human being can be the worse for its perusal ; to multitudes it must prove a warning beacon, a well-told appeal to reason, a permanent blessing. It is written in a clear, intelligent style, and is evi dently the production of a mind long and practically conver sant with the diseases of the most delicate division of the human organization."—Magnet The security of Happiness in the Marriage Stateisthe e c d h de ie d f anxiety of all; but man y dread entering upon the w union, through a secret fear of unfitness for the discharge of matrimonial obligations.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age.

Curtis have shown that many diseases, soupchasPuolfmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the probria medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections.

BIGG'S PATENT HAT-GUARD.-A Novel Invention, to prevent the hat being blown off in gusty weather. _ _ Many troublesome expedients have been resorted to for securing the hat, but the PATENT GUARD now offered to the public is acknowledged to be complete, by its simplicity and security. It is affixed to the inside of the crown, is invisible when not in use, and when required the hat or cap is in a moment secured, and is as quickly dispensed with when unnecessary. No person's hat or cap should be without this convenient appendage, simple in operation, a trifle in cost (Sixpence and One Shilling: ), yet perfect in security. For the Naval and .Military Cocked Hat, the Dress and Undress Chaco and Forage Cap, it is indispensable, entirely superseding the unpleasant Leather Chin-strap. It is equally s• to the Sportsman and Traveller. To be had, retail, of all respectable Hatters in London and the country.. Mr. Biggs having letters-patent granted to him has appointed Messrs.

GREAT MEETING OF THE MER CHANTS and MANUFACTURERS. (FROIII OUR OWN REPORTER.) A highly important and interesting meeting of the merchants and manufacturers of Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham shires, took place on Thursday at Derby, for the purpose of taking into consideration the existing commercial distress, and to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the immediate and total re peal of the Corn and Provision-laws. At eleven o'clock the Delegates assembled to the number of nearly 1,000 in the Lancasterian School, which was crowded in every part, and the meeting, we understand, represented the great bulk of the manufacturing and commercial wealth of the surrounding districts There were also present Sir John Easthope, M.P. for Leicester ; Sir G. De Hor sey Larpent, M.P., Nottingham; Ed. Strutt, M.P., Derby ; Joseph Strutt, M.P.; Dr. Bowriug, M.P.; Richard Cob den, M.P.; W. Evans, M.Y.

Cartwriaht. • Mr, Dean Taylor, the Chartist lecturer, was also pre sent, and several influential gentlemen from Birmingham, Manchester, and other more remote parts of the country. On the motion of Mr. BIGGS, of Leicester, seconded by Mr. WAKEFIELD, of Nottingham, JOHN HERD, Esq., of Nottingham ; one of the most extensive manufacturers of the midland districts ; was called to the Chair amidst loud and general acclamations. The CHAIRMAN said—Gentlemen, it was not until my arrival here this morning that I had the least expectation of being called upon to fill the high and , honourable situation you have now called me to. I am, therefore, totally unprepared to fulfil its duties, or to make any speech or observations which such an occasion naturally calls for. Still, as I am come impressed, as I believe every one now present is, with the impoli'cy, the wickedness, and the ruinous consequences of the present Corn and Pro vision-laws, I cannot but accede to your request, and en deavour to discharge the duties you have imposed upon me to the best of my ability.—(Hear.) I believe the par ticular object fer which we are assembled together, is to consider the effect produced by the Corn and Provision laws on the manufacturing interests and trade of these midland counties. On this subject, therefore, it will be much better, and more correct, that the gentlemen who are to address the meeting should speak, even if I were able to do so. This, however, lam convinced of, that, under no circumstances of situation, can the Corn and Provision-laws be a benefit to the country. True, if the country was capable of producing a much larger quantity of food than could be consumed, such laws might be inoperatiie, and be deprived of much of their baneful effects ; but while the population is increasing, while we know the land cannot increase, and when we have arrived at that position, that it cannot by possibi lity produce all the food we require for the convenience and comfort of the people, such laws are injurious and decidedly bad, and those only who are blessed by Provi dence with property, will be able to escape the effect of these laws, which press with great severity upon those who are unable to purchase them at these high prices.— (Hear.) I shall not enter further upon the subject, but call upon a large manufacturer of Leicester, Mr. Biggs, to move the first resolution. L Mr. W. BIGGS, of Leicester, then came forward, and addressed the meeting as follows :—I propose to substantiate the correctness of all the proposi tions contained in the resolution I have the ho ' nour to move, by showing the gradual progress in the reduction in the wages of labour to the extent of nearly . one-half since 1815; by the number of failures and bankruptcies among manufacturers- by the depreciated value of the machinery employed ; by the diminution of its actual amount : by the non-employment of one-third which is at present in existence : further, by the depre ciated value of property in houses; by the numbers un occupied compared to former periods; by the diminution in the amount of weekly rent for houses, and the increased difficulty in collecting it; by the diminished amount of necessaries and small luxuries sold by shopkeepers and dealers to the poor, and by their purchase of coarser ar ticles of consumption; and by the diminished purchases of the middle classes themselves, in departments wh er e retrenchment can be made.--(Hear.) I propose further to show, that the prospects for the hosiery trade of the midland counties are most discouraging, iu sonsequance of the alarming growth of a gigilatic foreign German competition, which has already superseded us in neutral markets, and is rapidly invading us at our own doors. — (Hear, hear.) In order to prove all these.propositions consecutively I shall begin with Hinckley. The three largest manufacturing towns in the county are Hinckley, Loughborough, and Leicester. The population of Hinckley in 1831 was 6,491—in 1841 it was 6,459; showing a diminution which, thou g h t r ifli ng , i s any thing but an index of prosperity. The poor-rates for 1815 were 2,9291.; for 1841 are 4,2401: between which times it must be recollected the population remained nearly stationary in amount. In 1811 there were twenty-five houses unoccupied ; 1831 there were 122 ; and in 1841 there were 157 :—thus showing an increase of deserted tenements, and evidencing a gra dual and growing pauperism among the working classes. —(Hear, hear.) In the year 1815 the clear earnings of an average workman were 12s. per week; in the year 1841, when fully employed, they would not exceed from 7s. to Bs. ; but, for the last three years, the workmen have not been fully employed, even at this reduced rate. Those engaged in the manufacture of brown c ott on h os i er y (which is the principal article and chief support of Hinckley) have been unemployed fully one-third of their time for the last three years; and the deficiency of em ployment has gone on greatly increasing during the same period Of those who are in work, one-half only are fully employed, the other half being limited to what is called half work, which does not exceed in amount 4s. per week. This, it must be understood, has occurred in a town, and in a manufacture, where not the slightest al teration or improvement in machinery has taken place; so that of course the distress and reduction of wages here cannot by possibility be ascribed to machinery, as steam power has never been employed in Hinckley or its neighbourhood, in the manufacture of cotton hosiery ; but the distress, as evidenced by the poor-rates, can he distinctly proved to be greater in years when corn is dear, than in other years, when corn is cheap; as for instance in 1835, when corn was 395. 4d. per quarter, the poor-rates amounted to 2,0101.—in 1836, when corn was 48s. 6d. per quarter, they amounted to 2,0701.—in 1840, after three consecutive dear years, and when corn was 665. 4d. per quarter, they amounted to 3,1201. — and now, in .1841, when corn is 645. 6d. per quarter, they amount to 4,2401.: from which coincidences we are warranted in believing, as practical men, that detir corn has a natural tendency to produce bad trade, reduc tion of wages, and general distress. Frame property has depreciated in Hinckley to a great extent; it is not possible to say precisely to what extent, as frames are not now vendible by auction at any price. The last sale was stopped, after the few first frames were disposed of ; , and those which were sold did not realise much more I than half the valuation. In 1815, the average value of frames, as tested by sales at public auction, was 81. 14s. ; in 1826 and 1827 they were depreciated to 6Z 3s. 6d. ; in 1940 to 41. Is. ; „at present, in 1841, there is no price for them. It is unnecessary of course to say, that the value of frames is regulated by the profitable or unpro fitable nature of the business. Hinckley, and the villages adjoining, contain one-fifth of the frames in Leicester shire, and were principally dependent upon the Americen na irket for. employment. Hinckley goods are now beaten out of the United States market by the manufacturers of the Continent.—(Hear, hear.) The articles in which we, have been superseded by the Germans are—men's and women's brown and coloured hose and half hose. The prospects for Hinckley are gloomy in the extreme ; the declared intentions of some of the largest manufacturers are, to sell their machinery and get out of the trade, owing to the absence of all profit in carrying it on for the last few years, and the ruinous depreciation in the value of manufactured goods. In several cases of insol vency, in this town and neighbourhood, it has been found that goods have been repeatedly sold, for the last three years, at a ruinous sacrifice, at a loss of at least from fifteen to twenty-five per cent. The demand for la bour 'seems to decrease here more and more every year, and in the same proportion the comforts and respectability of the working classes decrease with it ; and all the exer tions of religious teachers of Sunday schools cannot a nd do not retard the rapid progress of demoralization, which is, in consequence, fearfully extending itself. Hunger aad distress are fast destroying all holiesty in our sex, and all chastity and decency in the other. As painfully interesting evidence of the extreme state of poverty to which the operatives are reduced, it is a fact, that thir teen out of fifteen sick clubs, or friendly societies, in this town are shut up, from the inability of their members to their subscriptions; and some intention has been 'ay en tertained- of dividing the funds, and breaking up the clubs altogether. Here is poverty, destitution, and de spair: we will weigh this in the balance with Sir Robt. Peel's story about the savings banks, and I ask every one who hears me, whether it does not make it kick the beam like a feather?—(Cheers and hisses.) Besides, as an' evidence of manufacturing prosperity or distress, the savings' banks absolutely prove nothing. From inquiries which I have myself made, I learn from the moat un questionable authority, that at least two-thirds of the depositors are domestic servants, whose wages are paid them periodically, and who are the last persons to be affected by the vicissitudes and alternations of trade— that half the remaining third are agricultural labourers, servan ts, and cottagers, or persons utterly unconnected with manufacture ; and that the remaining one-sixth only is composed of small tradesmen or shopkeepers, manufacturing operatives, small manufacturers, artisans, and children, together with the d epos i ts of benefit soci eties and haritable institutions.----(Hear, hear.) In common fairness, therefore, if Sir Robert Peel had wished to refer to any gage or criterion of the condition 1821. of the manufacturing; operatives, it ought to have been to their sick clubs- and friendly societies, their reduced wages and want of employment, and not to a standard f which, at the same time that he paraded it before the House of Commons ; he knew, or ought to have known, was 110 criterion at all. However such a statement may pass current in a Tory Parliament, we manufacturers, who live in the midst of a distressed, unemployed, and impoverished population, and have every day such pain ful and distressing evidences of it before our eyes as can not be mistaken, look upon the savings' bank story of Sir Robert Pe e l as a mere ' rhetorical flourish to dress up a case, and suit a party purpose. "We know its rags and gather in the face on't. '—(Loud cheers.) In conclusion, it may be said that one-third of the frames and workmen at Hinckley are at the present time totally unemployed ; one-third earning only from 7s. to Bs. per week ; and the remaining one-third employed upon half-work, by which they can only earn 4s. per week. It has been found impossible fully to carry all the provisions of the New Poor-law into operation in Hinckley ; it has been repeatedly tried, but has as re gularly failed. Last year (1840) there were 500 men, heads of families, out of the small population of Hinck ley parish, in the workhouse yard breaking stones ; this year, the poor-house is full, and the unemployed poor who are not in the house are necessarily relieved out of it. The poor-rates, which used to be, in a healthy state of the trade, lod. in the pound per quarter, or 3s. 4d. per year, are now 20d. per quarter, or 6s. 81 per year; being, in other words, double, what they formerly were, with no present prospect of alteration or reduction. The state of destitution here .(adds my informant) is attended with wretchedness which will not bear description ; it is too bad to be pourtrayed, and too extensive to be re lieved.—(Hear, hear.) Having now occupied you suffi ciently long with the painfully distressing details of the state of trade at Hinckley, and the social condition of the working classes there, we will next proceed to enumerate a few facts in connexion with the second largest manu facturing town in the county ; we will-consider Lough borough. My informant reports that the population of Loughborough is now 10,000, according to the last cen sus; in 1831 it was 11,000; so that its population may be said to have decreased 1,000 in the last ten years—a pain ful evidence of its diminished prosperity, and the loss of a considerable port of its trade. In 1831 the number of houses unoccupied was 100 ; at the last census (1841) there were 305, or three times more than upon the for mer occasion. The average wages of common work here do not exceed 7s. per week. There are now three times as many frames unemployed here as at any former period. The price for a certain description of ribbed work in 1815 was 14s—now it is Bs. or Bs. 6d. In 1815, Loughborough was in a state of great prosperity, the wages of the operatives were good, and their comforts were, of course, in proportion. e Now there is a greater amount of privation and distress than I ever remember to have witnessed—the circumstance that the poor have 'not the means of obtaining partial relief, whilst it pre vents the rates from being heavy, entails a fearful amount of suffering upon them in seasons of scarcity of labour. At the present time there is a great deal of dis tress existing, in consequence of numbers of workmen being discharged from their usual occupation, and hav ing to seek relief or casual employment in any way they can, which, under existing circumstances, is extremely difficult to obtain. Wages are reduced nearly one-half in the staple trade (hosiery) since 1815, which reduc . - tion, coupled with, and, as we believe, mainly caused by, the high price of provisions, diminishes the comforts, and increases the privations of the poor to a most dis= tressing extent. I should state further that this reduc tion of wages has taken place in common articles made in common frames by manual labour, to which steam power has never been applied. We will now, gentle enen, introduce Leicester. Leicester contains, according to the last census, 50,000 inhabitants. The number of houses un occu pi e d in 1831 was 550 ; in 1841 it was I , 4o o. —(Hear, hear.) My informants state that within the last three years ten manufacturers have declined business in -Leicester on account of its unprofitable cheracter—not, I- regret to say, with fortunes—while sixteen other firms have been overtaken with insolvency and bankruptcy within the same period. The wages of the operatives here, in common branches, are not more, on an average, than six -or seven shillings per week, and not more that half, after their various charges and expenses are paid, what they were in 1815. The prospects for the ensuing winter are most discour aging—several houses having already begun to discharge their workmen, and it is almost certain that the numbers out of employment will be now increasing every week. The suffering and privation among the working-classes is necessarily very great. But, Gentlemen, we must now go more into details, and submit to you an amount of evidence collected from various sources, all of which can be substantiated, like the preceding, if a necessity should arise, at the bar of the House of Commons, or before any Commissioners whom Sir Robert Peel may choose to ap point. The first evidence of distress I shall introduce is that of the great redaction in the wages of labour. I shall not take here a fancy article, which may have parti ally gone out from changes of taste or caprices of fashion, bat one of the most stable; and regular, and ordinary articles in the trade, made in narrow frames by manual labour, and which has never been interfered with by the application of improved machinery or steam power. The article I select is a dozen of women's 24-gage worsted stockings, 104 leads wide, and is a fair criterion of the extent to which labour in the hosiery manufacture gener ally has been reduced since 1815.

Low as is this rate of labour at the present time, and utterly inadequate as it is with the present price of provi sions, to maintain working men in anything approach ing to comfort, I have no hesitation in saying, that if manufacturers, as a class, had the feelings and disposi tions which Chartist leaders and thoughtless men ascribe to them, there is no level to which the wages of labour might not be reduced-so greatly is it in excess, and so general is the want of employment at the present time. It is maintained alike by Tories and some of the Chart ist leaders that the price of corn and labour invariably go together-that dear corn induces high wages, and that cheap corn induces low wages-that, therefore, cheap corn would be no advantage to the operative, and that manufacturers generally want a Repeal of the Corn laws that they may reduce the rate of labour.-(Cries of " Shame.") 'Thus fallacy and calumny generally go to gether. To say nothing of the coarseness and injustice of mach a charge, against a class of men, who, to say the least of it, will challenge comparison with any other in the empire, for intelligence, humanity, benevolence, and public usefulness, the assertion that corn and wages go together is absurd and untrue, and is now nearly ex ploded everywhere except in our House of Lords. But the best refutation of it in connection with our hosiery busi ness, is to be found in the recent letter of an intelligent operative of Leicester, to the Duke of Rutland. The Duke had been making some observations at an acrricul tural dinner at Waltham, to the effect that with every fall in the price of corn, the stocking•makers received a corresponding reduction in their wages, proving that here ditary legislation and wisdom do not always go together. The operative in question (Mr. Richard Seal) states in the course of his letter, that in the year 1815 24. gage hose, 104 leads wide, were 7s. 6d. per dozen when corn was 635. Bd. per • quarter ;' that in 1816 the same sort were Is. per dozen when corn was 765. 2d. per quarter ; that in 1817 they were 6s. when corn was 945. per quar ter; that in 1818 they were 6s: when corn was 835.-Bd. per quarter ; that in 1822 they that t re in 6. 18 6 3 f1 4 . twhe n hey vi e,o e r r n e . was 435. 3d. per quarter ; t 4s. 9d. when wheat was 465. 2d. per quarter ; that in 1835 they were 4s. 9d. when wheat' was 395. 4d. per quarter ; that in 1839 they were 4s. Gd. when corn was 70s. 6d. per quarter ; that in 1840 they were 4s. 6d. when corn was 665. 4d. par quarter ; and that in 1841 they were 4s. 6d. when corn was 645. 6d.: thus exhibit ing every variety of alternation in the wages of labour, without the slightest regard to the variations in the price of corn. " If your Grace (continues this intelligent operative) will only cast your eye upon the price of corn and the price of labour in 1815, and the price of corn and the price of labour in 1839, 1840 ' and 1841, you will see what a tremendous reduction has taken place in the price of the framework knitters' wages, while corn is considerably dearer than at th e per i od of, 1815. Your Grace will see at least one_ conclusive, and, to your Grace, no doubt astounding _fact , that the Corn-laws have not kept up the pric e of labour, but, that, on the con trary, it has been, under the -operation of- these laws, reduced one-half -the clear earnings of the framework knitters, at 4s. Gd, er earnings dozen, a i t iot 7s b G ei d ng more than o t z h e a n n one half of th e c l ear My uniform exper i ence has been that the re working climes have e n j oye d t h e most com f ort w h en f oo d has been cheap. "-(Cheers.) At an Anti-Corn-law meeting in Leicester, last June, the same operative said, that " he could not go away without corroborating the as sertion made by two previous speakers, that the low price of food was beneficial to the poor, and raised rather than lowered their wages. He knew this from experience, and he could therefore flatly contradict the statement contained in a bill which was put into his hands as he entered the theatre, that cheap bread lowered wages. In 1822 he had a lar g e famil y , and in consequenCe" of the low price of bread, his weekly ex ponces were less by four shillings, while at the same time 1 his wags were hi g h e r by one shilling, so that he reckoned . he was a g ainer to the amount of 13/. in the course of the year. Now, if lie calculated that thee 1 were one million poor families in the country, and that • b e n e tited, here would be a saving of t th h i e ite . thirteen m illions. What What did he do with this 131.-did he put it into a strong box? No, he increased the com- • forts of his family, and thus helped to increase the trade of his c ountry."-(Loud cheera.)• ' This illustration is the most simple and conclusive of any that I have heard, or that can be propounded. What was the case in this individual instance, would be the ease in millions of in stances-a generally increased capacity to buy, would - SUN• induce a - generally increased activity on the - part of other Aperatives to manuf ac t ure; goo d trade would follow cheap food, as certain as day follows night, and that not by acrid( nt or otherwise, but inevitably and of cote se. — Renewed repealt rs a .evts c hes h a ac e t n s oos Manchester Corn-laws a nil : lared distress e . ssco - t t frso r eoer a snm d si n- e pli r alul s aowe , s): : n h aoea e stnn n tdobafe t u h r e g y e haveurged tee petitioned Renewed cheers.) It has frequently been urged against creo f th o lfass r s e dit : existence m etni o i entii the e s i t mr t e h ps e ruol a tv , e o om r f k e i oi n luts g r in machinery, their introduction of steam power; but in our own peculiar manufacture we have a conspicuous example of immense numbers of workmen being thrown out of employment, and wages reduced nearly one-halt :since 1815, without any important alteration, er hardly any improvement upon the machinery employed. "The stocking frame is to all intents and purposes essentially the same in principle, and almost iii details, as it was , when first launched from the hands of its inventor. Steam power has never been applied to it; for upwards of two centuries it has ramained unchanged; even the ag gregate number of frames, at present extant in Leices tershire, is not so great as it was in the more prosperous period of the trade. In the year 1815 it was ascertained from extensive inquiry, that there were 16,000 frames in Leicestershire. There are now certainly not more than 14,000, the few new ones which have been built latterly not having by any means kept pace with the worn out or old ones, which have been broken up and. di stroyed ; and yet, in spite of this diminished number of stocking frames, a third part of the machinery in the trade is either totally still, or only partially employed ; while wages have been reduced since 1815 from 7s. 6d. to 4s. 6d. per dozen. Here, then,.is a striking instance of reduction of wages to the amount of nearly one-half, in a manufacture where none other than manual labour has ever been employed—where steam power has never been introduced—where the amount of machinery itself is less than it formerly was—and where one- third of the diminished number of frames now in existence are at present totally unemployed. It is utterly impossible, therefore, that the distress in Leicestershir,. , can arise from an increase in the amount of machinery, or from the application of steam power. It must, and does, in the opinion of the whole trade, arise from the Corn laws, and from them alone ; dear years, like the last three, are inevitably years of suffering, loss and depre 'ciatitin, while cheap years, like 1534, 1835, and 1836, are as necessarily years of activity, national prosperity, and social happiness. We will now proceed to show the depreciation in the value of our machinery, and the amount of it at present unemployed. Within the last ten years, machinery employed in the ma nufacture of common hosiery has depreciated at least from forty to fifty per cent. In 1836, plain frames twenty-five inches wide, would sell for 201.: such frames would not now sell for more than IIL or 121. In the same year, an average lot of plain. stocking frames, fifteen inches wide, would have sold under the hammer for 71. to SI each ; at the present time, at the only ac tual sale which has taken place for some months, they only realized OL 15a. each, and several lotsof wide and narrow frames, after having b'een publicly a:lvertised in all the local - papers for two or three weeks, have been withdrawn for want of bidders. Scarcely a single ma nufacturer attended these sales—a decided proof of the extreme depression of trade, as manufacturers had for merly been the principal purchasers.—(bear, lime) Warp looms, which are usually employed upon fanay articles, have depreciated to a still greater extent than the common stocking frames ; they are at least from 60 to 70 per cent. kwer in value than they were. The greater part of this depreciation has taken place within the last two or three years. In the year 1b36, fifty or sixty-inch looms would then readily sell at an average of from 141. to 151. each ; but at the present time numbers have been offered in the market of greater widths, at Si. ss. each, and have been declined. The progress and history of the stocking trade still further illustrates the depreciation in machinery. A considerable number of stocking frames were formerly owned by in dependent holders, and by the workmen them selves ; but such has been the long-continued depression of trade, and the difficulty of procuring employment for such frames, that these classes of frame holders have been gradually compelled to sell the'c at almost any price, regardless of tile sacrifice, or of their original cost, in order to secure themselves regular employment. This has acelimulaled the =chines in the hands of maeu facturers ; but the elepreseion continuing, great numbers of these frames have. been withdrawn Calm the inanterac • ture, and laid clown -us temporarily useless—it being a smaller los a • . to the manufacturer to forego the rent for such maeilines,.. than to encounter the diffieulties of sale and depreciation or stuck consequent upon their employ ment. Such frames are not, therefore, brought into the market for sale, as there is no probability of vending their. fur anything like their intrinsie value, as com pared with former years ; fur instance, if a new fifteen inch frame were made at the present day, at the lowest possible rate, it would cost 151. and could nut be sold for more than 101. If the manufacturers were to force a sale of their surplus machinery the depreciation would reach at least sixty to seventy per, cent. ' and it is more than doubtful wheth er purc h asers could be found at any price whatever,—(lleac, hear.) I will now quote the evidence of, a ;gentleman lattterly retired from the hosiery trade, who kindly furnished me with his business experience and -history,: in connexifete with frame pro perty ; with which, and the result of my own personal inquiries, I will conclude my case as it respects machi nery. " I commenced business (says our informant) in 1803, and up to that time, and for twenty years preced ing, the workmen themselves owned a great part of the frame-property in Leicestershire. Many of them used to purchase their owrt material, and regularly make up their own goods, for which they found an easy, regular, and weekly sale to the, hosier, for at least live per cent. profit ;at Otis time hosiery goods were so much in re quest, and labour consequently so greatly in demand, that manufacturers were in the habit of riding round to the adjoining villages, and offering premiums and advances upon wage., to induce the workmen to supply them with goods in preference to their fbrmer employers. This state of things continued without xnueli change or interruption, till about the year 1815, from which time there has been a gradual reduction of wages, and an increasing distress and suffering among the workingel asses. They have been compelled in most cases to sell their frames, which have thus become, in the course of time, the pro perty of manufacturers, who are at present the principal owners of them. • Stocking frames originally cost 171. each building ' • even as late 1820 I had many ma d e at that price. On the 10th November, 1841, I attended a sale of frames by auction, and the average price they realized was only 31. 13s. 6d. each ; from which must be deducted expenses.of sale and five per cent. for duty, leav ing only a net proceed for each frame of 31. Bs. 6. Ever since the year 1816 manufacturers have been compelled to lay down part of their frames, and I have known many in stances latterly where frames have been offered for sale at a public auction, and no bidders have attended to purchase. In 1821 I gave up manufacturing, and let out nay frames to a respectable house then commencing business, for ls. a week each, and introduced them at the same time to my former business connection. This house soon de clined business ; I then let them to a large manufac turer for 9d. per week each. He employed them until. the year 1838 ; when he wished to give them up, but I prevailed upon him to continue to rent half of them, till this year (1841) when he finally gave up the whole. My frame property, the rent of which formed part of my income, is now therefore thrown useless upon my hands. I have already waited upon at least twenty ma nufacturers, besides other persons, without being able to let one of them upon any terms. I know many per sons who depended upon the rent of their frame property for their livelihood, who are now reduced to very great distress, and even destitution ; they have been compelled from the distresses of the times, and from the absence of any interest derivable from them, to sell them one by one, and some have even been obliged to apply for parish relief."—(Hear, hear.) From personal inqui ries of eight of the largest firms in Leicester, who are holders of machinery, oursel ves i nc l u d e d , to the amonnt of 2,650 frames, there are 955 or more than one-third, totally unemployed, and lying down entirely useless. This proposition holds good with the smaller houses, and throughout the whole of the hosiery trade ; so that it may be fairly stated, without exaggeration, that one-third of the machinery of Leicestershire and one-third of the workmen, are at present unemployed. We will further establish the existence of distress, from a kief history of the poor -rates i n t h e par i s h es of St. :Margaret and All Saints :—" In the parish of St. Margaret. which con tains three -fifths of the whole population of the town of Leicester, or thirty out of its fifty thousand inhabitants, there were two hundred and fifty unoccupied houses in 1831, and s i x h un d re d an d fif ty i n t h e pres ent year, 1841. In the threecheap years 1834, 1635, and 1836, when wheat only averaged 445. Bd. per quarter, the poor-rates amounted to only 18,8071. ; while i n th e three last years 1838, 1839, and 1840, when corn averaged 675. per quarter, they amounted, including a subscription, to 25,0201. This subscription was got up in the winter of 1839, in conse quence of the immense number of unemployed workmen, a who were obliged to be relieved out of the poor-rates, which increased their amount so much , and rendered them so onerous to the smaller rate-payers, that there was no alternative left but for the wealthier classes to subscribe, or for a large proportion of these poorer rate-pryers to be ruined, and added to paupers. Under these circumstances pounds was raised by subscription, fi th ir e e listth thousand of a ad which was disbursed by weekly instalments under the s was the Chairman. Supposing, therefore, that this uperintendence of a Committee, of which the Mayer subscription WRS distributed according to the population, and that three-fifths, or 3,000/. of it, was disbursed to the parish of St. Margaret, it would, in addition to the sum of 22,0201. raked by direct poor-rates, make a total of 25,0201. distributed in three years among the necessi tous and famishing poor. Thus the experience of the last few years confirMs an opinion ahriost universally held by the trade, that the poor-rates are always high est when corn is high, and lowest when corn is low, and that the state of trade, and the social condition of th e people, are always b e st when food is cheap."— (Cheers). In the parish of All Saints, containing chiefly a manu facturing population, the gross amount paid for poor rates for 1834, 1833, and 1836, was 3,493/., but in the three succeeding yeau, which were years of compare Lively high prices, the amount was 4,679/. It is an i variable rule in the trade (remarked Mr. Whetstone. Mayor of Leicester. in his examination b e f ore ti' pori Duties' Committee) that when provisions ar there is a good demand ; it is a rule observed ef by manufacturers, and established as a maxim in The poor -rates, he added, are always highest when corn is at ar, and lowest when have rtbis , Ger - tkraen, proved the I'oo of labour since 1815 ; the losses Iv nufacturerS'; the extensive w: the reduction in the value ihninishe►l amount tt present in that one-third of • what is now ployed ; all painful evidences c dining trade.
