(Crirs of " No.") He had thoroughly examined this subject for the last 15 years, but how to carry out a principle depended on time and circumstances. He had been long of opinion that Reform would not be handled thoroughly, or brought forward with vigour, un less by Mr. Gladstone—(hear, bear)—but it was a difficult question to deal with in the House of Com mons. The Government were obliged to form an opinion in the dark, and no doubt a great deal of time was lost in desultory warfare. In his opinion they took the only course they could, and the vote on which they resigned was to all intents and purposes a vote of want of confidence, and not to alter the wording of the bill. They would have been guilty of the greatest folly had they acted otherwise ; and in his opinion the result would be of the greatest advantage to the cause of Reform, because it was now settlei by the Liberal party that the Government of the country could not be carried on without a measure of Reform. He believed Mr. Gladstone would one day carry it in spite of all obstacles. (Cheers.) And with respect to those demonstrations made outside doors, he thought the working classes were perfectly justified in doing so. They were taxed with being indifferent to Reform, and were right in evincing that such a charge was entirely erroneous. He himself attended a Reform meeting in Manchester, which was everything that could be desired, and when it wrs proposed to imi tate it in St. James's Hall he went there. (Loud cries of " Hear," and laughter.) He carried away from St. James's Hall the pleasing reflection that those concerned resolved to do what he suggested, and no course was adopted likely to injure the cause itself. It was said the House of Commons would do nothing in the coming session, but he did not credit it. He believed, on the contrary, that party contests would bring out Parliamentary Reform, and a proper measure would no doubt be brought forward and carried. (Cheers.) It was said that if the franchise were extended to the working classes the nation would be too fond of going to war, but he did not believe that assertion ; but, on the contrary, he believed in his conscience the wisest thing that could be done was to give them an interest iu main taining and defending the institutions and interests of the country. (Cheers.) Mr. DAY next moved, " That the best thanks of this meeting be presented to Mr. Ayrton, M.P., for attending that meeting, and for the course he pursued as one of their representatives." Mr. GLADDING seconded the motion. Mr. DUFFIELD moved as an amendment, "That this meeting indignantly condemns the uncalled-for and unmanly attack made by Mr. Ayrton on her Majesty the Queen at the Reform Meeting in St. James's Hall, on the 4th of December last, and is of opinion that his treatment of the Reform cause at that meeting, as well as his refusal to give his aid to the insulted and oppressed tax-payers of Mile-end when called upon to du so, renders it impossible that the people of the Tower Hamlets, should continue to give him their confidence and support." He candidly avowed he had never much confidence in Mr. Ayrton—(cheers)—and it was for them to say whether they would any longer disgrace themselves by returning him to Parliament. (Cheers.) Mr. BRAIDLAW seconded the amendment, be cause Mr. Ayrton did not advocate that extension of the suffrage demanded by the great body of the people in the Tower Hamlets. The CHAIRMAN called on Mr. Ayrton to say if ho made any attack on the Queen. Mr. AYRTON, in reply, said the imputation in the amendment was literally and entirely untrue and unfounded. A VOICE—Mr. Bright said so. Mr AYRTON—Yes, but he was udder a misappre hension. What he said then he would now repeat, namely, that it was the duty of her Majesty's Mi nisters to advise the Queen to identify herself more with the life of the nation. There were great inte rests at stake in this metropolis, for hundreds and thousands of people depended for their living on the wealth that flowed into the metropolis, and it was of the utmost consequence that the Sovereign should be among them as much as possible. (Hear, hear.) • The amendment was then put and negatived, and the original resolution passed. Mr. GABLE next proposed a resolution in favour of manhood and residential suffrage, protected by the ballot. --- Mr. BLAND seconded the motion, and it was adopted. A vote of thanks was next passed to the chairman, after which the proceedings, which were of rather a noisy character, terminated. The Law of Trades' Unions. IMPORTANT DEPUTATION TO MR. WALPOLE. Yesterday afternoon a deputation waited by ap pointment on the Right lion. S. 11. Walpole, for the purpose of representing to him, and through him to Government, the position in which trades unions have been placed by the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of the Bradford boiler makers, and impressing on the Government the im portance of putting them in the same position with regard to protection as friendly societies in general. The deputation consisted of Mr. William Allan, representing the Amalgamated Engineers ; Mr. D. Guile, the Ironfounders' Society ; Mr. R. Apple garth, the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners ; and Mr. George Odgers, of the Trades' Council. The deputation was introduced by Mr. THOMAS HUGHES, M.P., who said he believed, and with great reason, that the decision of the Queen's Bench had placed trades' societies entirely or case u ts i b d n e f t o h r e law. a the r T o h t e h d o e n p . o g t a e t n i o t I n n in w a i s n h , e a d n t d o a a l a k y w t h h e n i a h e h t e h e p G a s o i v t i e o r n n m i n e n w t h c i n o h u l t d h n e y o t u a n s d s e i a r t s t t n o o d p t a h e e e y t h b em had been placed by the acts of former Governments. Mr. ALLAN said so far back as 1855 they succeeded in getting two clauses inserted in the Friendly Socie ties' Act, by which they imagined they obtained legal protection against fraudulent trustees or other offi cials. It was now very questionable whether they had that protection in fact, they were inclined to think they had not. The Court of Queen's Bench had decided that their rules placed them outside the pale of the law, and that they could not have the protection of the Friendly Societies' Act. Mr. WALPOLE understood that the Lord Chief Justice decided that the society before him could only be looked upon as a society formed to act as a restraint on trade, and could not be supposed to be legal. Mr. HUGHES said that in the rules of all the socie ties there were clauses that would 'probably be con sidered also as a restraint upon trade. Mr. ALLAN said the Friendly Societies' Act gave them certain privileges on depositing their rules with Mr. Tidd Pratt, provided they contained nothing contrary to law. In 1851 the society got the opinion of Sir A. Cockburn, at that time Attorney-General, who held that their rules were perfectly legal. If they were legal, the societies contended that they should have the protection of the Friendly So cieties' Act with regard to fraudulent trustees. On the faith of that protection they had deposited a large amount of money in the Post Office Savings Banks. They had at first some difficulty about it, i f f u funds but they waited on Mr. Gladstone, who ultimately fraud took place, they had any control over the gearearnet.ed Itth elymaathne npwrivgilnegesetoiofndaebpoosi persons who defrauded them. Mr. Glridstone de cided that their rules were not illegal, and therefore w tin h g eth th e e r i , r , ties' Act. they ought to have the benefit of the Friendly Secie- Mr. WALPOLE—What power had Mr. Gladstone to decide that? He only gave his opinion, I sup pose ? Mr. ALLAN said be was Chancellor of the Ex chequer, and representative of the Government. Mx, IlvoiES aaid there had been a direct §anction, PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. by the Government of the investment in the Post Office Savings Banks. Mr. GUILE said the funds of the Amalgamated Engineers amounted to £1.40,000, and they were scattered in various parts of the country. In reply to Mr. Walpole, Mr. GUILE said that the rules were pretty nearly alike in all cases. Mr. HUGHES said those of the Bradford Boiler makers were rather stronger. Mr. ALLAN said the rules on which Sir Alexander Cockburn gave his opinion were quite as strong, if not stronger than those of the boilermakers, yet he said distinctly that they were not illegal, but per fectly sound according to law. Mr. WALPOLE then read the judgment of the Lord Chief Justice, to the effect that he thought the society could not be brought within the Friendly Societies' Act, first, because the purposes for which the trades' unions were organised were not analogous to those of benefit societies, and because its rules, though not criminal, yet, acting as a restraint on trade, they were by the law of the land illegal. He also read the opinion of Sir Alexander Cockburn, which was to the effect that it was legal for men to combine to protect themselves and to persuade others to act with them, provided no violence were done to person or property ; that all threats, intimidation. and molestation were avoided, and that G. were not objectionable in point of law, though they might have been prepared with greater accuracy. The hon. gentleman then asked the deputation to point out what they specidcally asked him to do. Mr. GUILE said the society which he represented instructed him to ask the Government to take their rules and put them into the hands of the law advisers of the Crown for examination. If they were of opi niOn that they were not legal, he as requested to ask the Government to provide such an act as would place them within range of the law for all practical purposes. The speaker mentioned a case in which an agent of his society had £B3 belonging to it, but which, after the recent decision, they could not claim. He also furnished a number of statistics to show that the object of the societies was more for bene volence than the advancement of trades' unions. In eight years the society to which he belonged bad expended on men out of work, but not through the operations of strikes, on the sick and the disabled, on the aged and on funerals, no less than £138,303, whilst in the same periad the total amount paid for strikes was £1,877. This was at the rate of ss. 6d. per member to support strikes or disputes, while for benevolent purposes there had been paid £2l ss. 64 d. per member. Mr. IVALioLE said there was no doubt that would be perfectly legal. He did not know really how far the facts in the case, as decided by the Court of Queen's Bench, were or were not identical for the purpose of the law with the ease as regarded the deputation. He thought it so important a matter that the best thing the deputation could do was to put into writing in the shape of a memorial to be presented at that office the exact thing they wanted him to do. That would enable him to consider, and, if necessary, to consult with his col leagues as to how far they could fall in with the suggestions made to the Government. He saw a difficulty about consulting the law officers merely on the application of one society, for he should, if granting the facility in one case, have to afford it in others. Mr. HUGHES said that the case of the societies was that they had been led into this present scrape by previous Governments ; they had dropped their old system of protection by checking their officials, and they had been led to rely upon the protection of the Friendly Societies Act. Now their funds were scattered all over England, and their affairs were exceedingly critical, because if the officers turned out rascals they had no power to recover a penny. Mr. WALPOLE said the matter really depended on the ulterior question whether the societies were legal or not according to the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench. The law officers could not decide such a question. Nothing but the Court could decide whether the rules were contrary to law or not within the meaning of the decision of the Court. The law officers of the Crown could not give them any valuable opinion except as to what the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench would be. Mr. APPLEGARTH said the important question was—were trades unions simple, or were they not to be outside the pale of the law ? They had been of opinion that it was quite lawful for working men to combine for the protection of their interests, provided they did not bring themselves into collision with the law that provided against intimidation, &c. He would admit that, if in any part of the country work was plentiful, men underpaid, and employers refused to raise their wages, they would draw the men from their employers, and pay them 15s. a week as strike pay ; bat they set their faces against all kinds of intimidation ; and as for strikes, they would not say they dreaded them, but they did all they could to oppose them, set their faces against them, and endeavoured to substitute for them a system of arbitration. He thought the suggestion made to them by the hon. gentleman was a very good one, but he should wish that, after they had put in writing what they desired, there should be some sort of inquiry to let the Government see what trades unions were. No doubt they did many sad and serious things, but they were not so bad as they were painted. Such an inquiry was necessary before any legislation was attempted. They required some specific law for their protection ; for even now at Bradford and Hull they had cases of agents from whom they could not obtain large sums of money on account of the decision in the Court of Queen's Bench. The question was, what were they to do ? Were they to be placed at the mercy of unscrupulous men, when the Government had led them to believe they had protection ? A favour able solution of the difficulty would lead to the purging of their rules if on impartial inquiry any thing objectionable could be found in them; but with this exception, that they could not abolish strike wages, for if they were abolished the unions would go. He did not think they could give up the union even for a bill. Mr. WALPOLE said two distinct propositions had been laid before him. One was to deal with this particular case by some legislation immediately, and that he understood the deputation were prepared to lay a memorial before him as to the exact points on which they wished legislation. Secondly, with reference to importance of a full investigation into the working of these societies all woulduld say now was, and he believed Mr. Hughes bear him out, that they would in a very few days see that he was not in the least unfriendly to such au object as that. The deputation then thanked the hon. gentleman and withdrew. STREET-NAMING IN BELGRAVIA.--The Metropo litan Board of Works has ordered the following alterations to be made in the names of public thoroughfares in Bel gravia :—T he name of Belgrave-street South to be abolished, and the whole line of thoroughfare to be called Lowor Belgrave-street ; the name of Ranelagh-street to be abo lished, and the street incorporated with Ebury-street ; the names of Grosvenor-street West and Hobart-place to be abolished, and the whole line of thoroughfare to be called Lower Grosvenor-place. The five houses called Belgrave Mansions to be incorporated with Grosvenor-gardens. UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.—The official challenge from the Cambridge University Boat Club has not yet been forwarded to Oxford, but a meeting of the officers is to be called in a few days by Mr. W. R. Griffiths, the captain, when the matter will be determined, and there is every reason to believe will result in the usual form being gone through. Mr. Griffiths steered the following eight down the river on Thursday :- -Anderson, Trinity; Bromby, Christ's; Still, Gains; lion. Gordon, Trinity; Kemp, Tri nity; Naden, Pembroke; Collard, Lady Margaret; Pinck ney, Trinity. W. R. Griffiths, coxswain. There were nearly 4,000,000 pounds 9f wool gathered in Vermont last year. NEWSPAPE T) . * MANCHESTER, Feb. 1.--For c A trade yarns the market has been quiet.Klu ping yarns the market opened rather quietly, but , h ,1 14 - 11,1 'TV, conßiderably. -ore busi ,l Mu..., Le under the rates spin ners were asking; Where-spinners have been dis posed to meet buyers pretty freely at a little under yesterday's quotations they have in some instances done a considerable amount of business, and this branch of the market closes more cheerfully than for some days past. Home-trade yarns have been very quiet, and the recent slight improvement in these goods has been entirely lost. The only busi ness done has had to be effected at the rates of this day week. In cloth sellers report the market very flat to-day, and say very little business has been done. The buyers who were operating lately ap pear to have satisfied most of their present require ments, and they manifest little or no disposition to go further at present, except at lower prices. These have been offered to some extent, but have not found general acceptance, consequently the busi ness of the day has been small. The recent busi ness done in some descriptions of goods haviAg placed manufacturers under contract, they are naturally less easy to deal with on that aczount. Heavy goods, such as Bolton counterpanes, have been active for export to America, but the anticipa tion of a reduction of from 45 to 20 per cent. in the tariff had the effect of checking operations, and the business both for export and home consumption is flatter, perhaps, than it has been known to be for the last six years. BARNSLEY, Ist. —ln addition to the Northfield, Midland, Milton, Elsecar, and Parkgate works, the proprietors tit . the Cyclops and Atlas works hav e given their employes notice of a reduction to the same extent as at the'other works-10 per cent. A simi lar reduction was made at these works a month or two ago, against which the men struck work, but which they afterwards accepted. For railway ma terial the demand continues brisk, more particularly in the heavier branches. Very little pig iron is being manufactured, as the requirements of the trade are very small, and orders are only given to meet imme diate wants. The steel trade is still very brisk, both for the plain and manufactured article. The coal trade is without alteration, and now that the canal traffic has been fully resumed a good export trade is being done at Hull, Goole, and Grimsby. A heavy tonnage of the best house coal and those descrip tions known as Barnsley and Silkstone is being sent to London and the south. LEEDS, Ist.—The following is the trade report of the Leeds Chamber of Commerce for the month of January :—" In the woollen warehouses business has been dull throughout the mouth, with a slight ten dency to improvement towards the close. The ship ping houses have also, with few exceptions, been unusually quiet. The home trade has no doubt been affected by the weather, which has caused the spring trade to be rather later in commencing. The manufac turers have been so far very fairly employed, but un less there is an improvement in the demand merchants will be slow in repeating their orders. The cap trade partakes of the general dulness. The d emand for colo nial wools has been languid, and with the present prospect of the wool market manufacturers have been unwilling to increase their stocks of wool. Prices remain about'the same. The English wool market has been less active. There has not been much done in fla.xes, and the trade is dull. Better classes are very scarce, andmaintain their price. Lower classes are not much inquired for, and though stocks are. low yet they are not firm in price. Fine tows are in demand at full rates. Common sorts are plenti ful and in little demand, and prices are unsteady. Hemps are tending downwards. The yarn trade is dull and orders scarce—more for low than for fine numbers. Prices are nearly unchanged, but rather in favour of the buyer. Threads are withoutchange. The iron trade has been unusually dull during the month, but has improved during the last week. The iron girders for the Apperley viaduct, weighing 500 tons, have been made in this neighbourhood, and the iron rolled for them by a house in the town in the unprecedentedly short time of three weeks. The machine makers are nearly all doing less. The en gineer tool makers are also very dull. The demand for cut nails is quiet. There has been a quiet month for rapeseed and linseed, but prices have been well maintained, and merchants are not disposed to accept lower rates. Rape oil has been in moderate con sumptive demand. Linseed oil, as usual at this sea son of the year, is flat, at unremunerative prices. Cakes are in brisk demand, and prices very firm. Olive oils have been more inquired for, and have advanced £2 to £3 per ton. Stocks are small, and held for higher rates. The past has been a very dull month for all descriptions of leather. There is no material change to report in prices. The tan ners are very dull. The shoe trade continues to be very indifferent both for home trade and for ship ping. There is a better demand for both sanitary tubes and bricks, and makers are busier. There has only been a limited demand for paper. Material continues plentiful at about former prices. The tobacco trade is without change. The supply of cattle has been large, and prices have been lower. Number shown (five markets), beasts ,1,962; sheep, 14,250. Corn.--There has been a fair supply of wheat, but prie'es have advanced ls. per quarter. There has been a good demand for barley, which has advanced about ls. Oats and beans without change." :~ THE UNIVERSAL TOURIST COMPANY (LIMITED). THE DELEGATES OF THE TRADE SOCIETIES. A meeting took place on IV•ednesday evening at the Terminus Hotel, London-bridge, of the Direc tors' Universal Tourist Company (Limited), to lay before the delegates of trades s ocieties and working men plans intended to offer special facilities to those classes to visit the Paris Exhibition.* A memorial has been drawn up to his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of the French, calling his attention to the prohibitory sums which will be demanded for lodg ings, and tend almost wholly to exclude the work ing classes from the Exhibition. The directors propose to despatch a deputation from their board, accompanied by the representatives of the working men, who, they are in hopes, • the Emperor will honour with an interview to further an object his Majesty is known to have at heart, and that the opportunity may not be lost, offered by the coming Exhibition, of bringing together the French and English working people. The memorial requesting the audience of the English trade delegates has been most graciously and favourably received by his Ma jesty. It was intimated that there was reason to believe the Emperor would grant the use of certain barracks ' • and it was promised that any boo n th us d erived would be freely given up to the tourists, without benefit to the company. If, however, the lodgings provided gratuitously by the Imperial Government should fall short of the need, as would, in all pro bability, be the case, it was proposed that the ad vantage should be distributed over the whole body, so that, assuming that six thousand could be lodged in barracks without cost, and six thousand would have to pay, the twelve thousand should be charged a level sum. Some questions were put and sug gestions offered by Mr. Mackey (bookbinder), Mr. Brighty (wood turner), and other delegates. Re solutions in accordance with the views expressed were passed by the meeting ; and twelve delegates were elected from among those present to accom pany the deputation to the Emperor. M. A. Duboys de I,avigerie, the general manager of the Tourist Company, has given years to mature the plans he now proposes to bring into o peration, and the explanations he offered at the meeting were most favourably received. ----- * Mr. Coffey, director of the English and French Steam ship Company, presided. THE PUBLIC PRIZE TRIAL FOR SPORTING DOGS. —The public trial of sporting dogs on game in the field, which is under distinguis hed p atronage, and excities con siderable interest amongst s p ortsmen, has been deferred in conseque nce of the wild s tate of p artrid g es and grouse. Birds are yet paired and in large covies, but as soon as partridges "couple Off," and will lie to pointers and setters, the trials will come off. Some well-stocked grouse moors and partridge manors have been secured in Staffordshire, and the trials will probably take place next month, 01 .~~ MANUFACTURERS OF THE VICTORIA CROSS.

Mr. Ayrton, M.P., met his constituents last night in the Beaumont Institution, Beaumont-square, Mile-end ; William Newton, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in explaining the objects of the meeting, said it was ten years since Mr. Ayrton was elected as their representative, when he pledged himself to meet his constituents at the end of every session of Parliament, and he had kept that pledge to the present time. With respect to the question of Reform last session, he believed hon. mem bers betrayed their trust, and that the bill rejected would not now be accepted by the people. It was very satisfactory to know that during the discus sions which took place both their representatives were always found voting in the right way, and in support of the bill. Mr. AYRTON then came forward, and was very well received by the great majority of the meeting. He hoped that in the course of his address they would listen to him patiently and quietly, and ex press their dissent, if any differed from him, in a peaceable and orderly manner. He thought the last session was more fruitful than any that pre ceded it in dealing with local questions and local improvements. There was first of all the question of gas, which was one of considerable importance to that borough, and although he endeavoured to struggle against the present monopoly he was not supported as he should have been by the local au thorities, and so the results were not what they should all desire. A Voice—Give power to the unenfranchised, and they'll soon settle these matters. Mr. AYRTON continued—Whether the people are enfranchised or unenfranchised— A Voice—You don't care. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) Mr. AYRTON continued. He meant to say that whether the people were enfranchised or not, in cases of this kind nothing could be done without the co-operation of local authorities. The fact was, there were some people present so: anxious about the general government of the country that they another ( forgot the important question of how to govern themselves. water was near. )Then, important subject,againt e an s d up s p h l o y ul o d f not be treated lightly. Last session an attempt was made to grapple with this subject, but he contended that before anything was done the local authorities should be consulted • He was happy to say those of the Tower Hamlets had done their duty in this re spect, and the question would be considered in the coming session as well as that of parks and open spaces. An act had been passed giving power to the Metropolitan Board to preserve those open spaces for the people ; and certainly it was a great pity that year after year Epping Forest was being enclosed, and one of the most delightful localities near that borough taken from them to the manifest injury of their health. Then as regarded the subject of me tropolitan taxation, he moved for the appointment of a committee last session, and in their report they said they did not desire or intend any increase in taxation, but placed increased burdens on the owners of property who had large interests at stake, and would take care they were not unjustly dealt with. He was an advocate for an equalisation of taxation. He did notwant twenty lord mayors or an additional number of aldermen in the metropolis, but to im prove by every means in their power the excellent act passed some years ago by L or d Llanover. With respect to the administration of the poor law he found much fault with it, and the only remedy he thought was to remove the root of the evil, which was the infliction of heavy rates on poor districts, while the rich paid comparatively nothing. This portion of London had recently suffered heavily, and although liberal sums of money had been gene rously given, he would remind them that the whole of the sum so given did not amount to a penny in the pound. (Hear, hear.) It was said . the House of Com mons was the cause of the present unjust mode of taxation ; but, after all, nothing could be done unless the working people helped themselves. (Hear, hear.) The house had no doubt an inclina tion towards Imperialism, and to have public works managed by officers of the Crown, to which he be lieved there was a very great objection. The work ing people had done a great deal latterly for them selves by means of trade societies and unions, for it was their right to combine together to advance their mutual interests. These combinations were formerly illegal, but Parliament gave them subsequently per fect freedom in this respect, provided they did no thing to restrict industry or produced any disaster among their employers. They had recently been told that some of these were illegal, but he con tended that the sound principle of political economy was to let every man be free in the exercise of his industry and skilled labour. (Cries of " Question, question.") Some among them were so anxious and impatient that before he finished one sentence they wished to hear the next--(hear, hear)—but he had no hesitation i n saying that many of the upper classes who condemned these societies did not under stand or appreciate the good they achieved. With respect to their sptdtrt of education at present it seemed to have pagged ditet the heads of the great body of the people, and who were not able to educate themselves. (Cries of " Reform, Reform," and some interruption.) He had had put into his hands an appeal, in faVonr of re g ist ered residential man hood titifiragd—z(iotici cheers);—brit he would ask those who gave it to him whether they were ad vancing the question when they interrupted him on the subject of education. They had a right, however, to hear his views, and his opinion was that they must enfranchise every householder, and if a man were not able to have a whole house he should have a vote for half of it. They must also have a re-distribution of political power, for he con tended that it would be injurious to the general in terests of the country to add to the number of voters in corrupt boroughs, and thus make rotten boroughs more corrupt, and corruption more extensive. (No, no.) They might cure it in large boroughs by the ballot, but in small towns it would be utterly im possible. (Hear, hear.) He was not one of those special reformers who wanted to wed a principle ,v";' STATE OP T.
