THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE " ON MASTERS AND WORKMEN.—The relations between employers and employed—so complex in their character, and touching on such dangerous grounds—are excit isri e e t rYi— c i sa svwue excit ing no inconsiderable anxiety in almost every country in Europe. For a long time wealth, the employers of capital, had it all their own way. Labour, unintelligent, disorganized, friendless, lay at the mercy of capital. Immense profits were realized, and the labouring classes earned out of the joint results of labour and capital at best but a scanty subsistence ; too frequently their existence s to,L iemtghimes Legislature bordered on a state of starvation. Underfeeding, ignorance, discontent, overcrowding in wretched annexed But the c h h i e h werewisely awaited intervened the u c o n n dit iobne labour.s tween capital and its victim Parliament regu lated_ the hou rs of labour, and introduced merciful restrictions as to the age and gex of thoseem em- ployed, Searching inquiryep n horrified at the state of poverty de gradation which was discovered countryr a wg was spmn shocked among age all ko ter hadsleand sides 3 the moral sens e of the la bourers in several of the agricultural districts — among the operatives in most of the mills and factories—and among Suchthe miners of both sexes in die evo t l r en et t s s * wthiesemanindinbgen an intervention was a teponthe part of the Legisla ture. Under another condition . of things it may also be wise and necessaryto .mvoke Parliament to prevent an organized conspiracy against capital. The trades' unions, w hi ch are power in the country, are the results of a greater intelligence, and of consequent organization among the employed, such as enable them with effect, if they be s o minded, againstto combine the em ployers of labour. The n a t ure and object of these combinations have been fully investigated by the s the Royal Commission of Inquiry. Beside gene ral and praiseworthy aims comm on to benevolent soc i e ties, these unions have the further object of regulating the price and the amount of labour, and of coercing the men who belong to these socie ties, by fine and expulsion, to work at a uniform rate, and for the stipulated wages. The skilled workman is not allowed by the rules to avail him self of his superior skill, nor the strongest man f his superior strengt h, to do m ore work or t o earn more wages than the average amount regulated by the rules of the society. The trades' unions go a step further, which is of a still more questio na bl e character, in limiting the number of apprentices to be employed in a trade, and in prohibiting the em ployment of non-society men. Should employers, a under a pressure of busi n e ss, se ek to accelerat e work in hand,•by calling in additional men or by overtime, such a demand, as it is only calculated to promote the interests of the master and not those of the men, is never accepted, without re ferring to the trades' union council, which, i n most cases, is tantamount to a refusal, sin" no answer of any kind is given until after the lapse of a week. Against such a combination employ ers are generally powerless. The expedient has been more than once tried when, in fulfilment of the rules of the society, men have struck work, to seek to supply their place by importation of foreign workmen. But the trades' unions have met this move by a counter-movement ; they h ave extended and are extending their organiEation so as to combine with foreign workmen against the employers of labour, and in case of strikes to give each other mutual support. Such an organization of the workmen in various trades all over Europe, by their numbers and by their wealth, when it i s brought to a greater perfection, will be a most dangerous element introduced into an already di s _ turbed state of society. What began as a defence of labour against the exorbitant and selfish de mands of the capitalist may not impossibly end in a war against property. Strikes are on the in crease both here and in France. The members of the trades' unions, becoming more and more keenly alive to the power which their organization confers, are not slow in provoking contests and in dictating terms to employers. Hence the irrita tion and the suspicions which are springing up on both sides. In France, and more especially in Paris, the aversion to masters and to receiving wages is much commented on by the workmen themselves, as may be seen in the reports of the delegates of almost all the trades of Paris, who were sent to report not only on the Great Exhibi tion: in London, but on the regulations of trade and on the labour market. They comment freely on the great profits made by capitalists, and on the comparatively small rewards earned by skilled la bour. The Parisian trade delegates even go so far as to suggest the establishment in France of co operative societies, so as to supersede the pre sent irksome and, as they regard them, degrad ing relations between masters and workmen. They desire the sanction and assistance of Govern ment in opening, by way of experiment, co-oper ative workshops for the manufacture and sale of such articles, for instance, as gloves, on which they aver the profit 4 of the capitalists are enormous when compared with, those of the workmen. But the providing of capital for the starting of such co-operative and highly remunerative societies the workmen of Paris regard as the proper busi ness of a Government based on universal suf frage. In these visionary but most pernicious schemes we see something more than the germs of socialism. Against the growth of this evil the French Government is much more Powerless to act than our own, for its existence is dependent on three great supports—the army, the Church, and the working men of Paris. It dare not estrange, therefore, by any restrictive measures the latter most dangerous class of its supporters. In Ger many and Belgium, as well as in France and Eng land, socialistic ideas as to the relations of labour and capital, and as to their respective rights, find expression in an otganization which possesses the dangerous powee`of - bringing at any given moment or place trade and commerce as well as the traffic and ordinary business of life to a dead lock. At this very time the union men on the North-Eastern Railway are out on strike, and the delegates of the Midland Company men have sent a notice to the chief officers of the Midland Company that if they or the Board of Directors assist, as they have been doing, the North-East ern Company, "to get through the unhappy dis aster which they have by tyranny and oppression brought down on themselves, the Midland en ginemen or firemen will join the great body of their own calling throughout the country in an united movement" against employer.s The cen tral committee of the Engine Drivers and Fire men's United Society, in order to . carry on the struggle, has decided that a general weekly levy be made of 3s. upon each driver and 2s. upon each fireman all over the country. Another illustra tion of the organized action of thd trades unions is the threatened strike of the London tailors, on Monday next, because the masters' com mittee refuse to negotiate with a mixed committee of London and country workmen, as it was plain to the masters that the country workmen could only negotiate on propositions which could not be traendeetharghout the lsoU a weekly levy o f accepted or acted upon by the London t ra d e , ex cept upon compulsion. To meet the exp enses o f 2 t s i .e per manstruggle, in Nv as o rdi this il s e coun try. The two delegates sent to Paris by the London men report that the strike in Paris is progressing most favourably. About sixty large employers have given way during the past week, and of the 15,000 who struck, fully 5,000 have resumed work at the advanced rate of wages. The danger of these trades' unions lies, even far more than in the precision in which they can bring their power and wealth to bear on employers, in the - absence of all moral motive in their action; they are guided simply by what they consider their ma terial interests • they have no notion, as was ex emplified in the answers of a stone mason before the Royal Commission of Inquiry, of duty towards their masters, or of the common justice which is due to them. Employers are looked upon in the light of enemies, to be coerced or to be punished by bad work skilfully concealed. It is not to be denied that modern civilization is more considerate - than society in some preceeding centuries for the ma terial comforts of the masses, and that a higher value is set upon life and upon its material en joyments ; the risk, however, is—and it is no small one--that men should be guided in their actions solely by material considerations and, in ignorance of higher motives and rewards of conduct, insist upon material enjoyment as a substantial guar antee for happiness, which they have learned to look upon as the only object of man's life and its constant pursuit. But if baulked in material enjoyments man, taught to regard them as the sole purpose of life, will turn in his disap pointment upon society like an infuriated tiger upon its keeper. Such a danger is evidently ahead, and civilized society must look to itself and mend its ways by times, or else our age may yet witness a convulsion more wide-spread than that of the French Revolution, more lasting in its results, even if not s o degrading to human nature in its passionat e f eroc it y . • Naval and Military Intelligence. At Aldershott during the past week the chief event has been the inspection of the division by Field- Marshal the Duke of Cambridge, w hich took place on Thursday. The Duk e , w h o wa s accompanied by Major-Gen. Lord W. P au l e t, K.C.8., Adjutant- General, and Lieut.-G en . Si r J. H. Grant, G.C.8., Quartermaster-General, arrived at Farnborough shortly after 11 o'clock, and was received at the railway station by Lieut.-Gen. Scarlett, K.C.8., and Staff. He first proceeded to the rifle ranges at Hungry-hill, where sections of the 18th Royal Irish, 44th, 65th, and 56th Regiments were at ball prac tice with the Snid er r ifl e. Aft er witnessing the vol ley-firing and fil e -fi r i ng o f t h e s ections of the 56th Regiment at 400 a n d3oo yar d s r espectively, he pro ceeded to Eelmoor, where the artillery and two bri gades of infantry were drawn up in line of contigu ous columns. He was received with the royal salute. After inspection of the railks the troops marched past, the artillery in close column of batteries at a walk, and the infantry in open columns of grand divisions in quick time, and in the following order : —Staff of the Division, Lieut. Gen. the Hon. Sir J. Y. Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding ; C and H bat teries, 9th Brigade, R.A. ; Staff of the lst Brigade, Major-Gen. Renny, Col. Call and Ist battalion 18th Royal Irish, Col. Lacy and the 56th Regiment ; Pioneers, bands, and drums of the second brigade ; Staff of brigade ; Major-Gen. Campbell, C. 8., Major Brown, C. 8., and the 44th (East Essex) Regiment ; Col. Wyatt, C. 8., and the 65th Regi ment. The field batteries next marched past at a walk, and proceeded to quarters. The infantry formed parallel lines by brigades, and were put through a variety of evolutions. They were also exercised in the new style of firing and advancing in line. The Duke then proceeded to the Long Val ley, where he inspected the Royal Horse Artillery and the Cavalry Brigade. This concluded the day's proceedings. The various movements were executed by the troops with great steadiness and precision, and in the firing none of the defects recently ascribed to the Snider rifle were apparent. The Ordnance Select Committee o f W oo l w i c h out some impor tant Arsensalexp on Tuesday and Wednesday last, with two 32 -pound ers converte d eri e m r e e n e t n s g a a g t wed s h i n o ecarrying into 64-pounder rifled guns, on Major Palliser's system, and also with Colonel Boxer's shrapnel shells, which were fired from a 7-inch rifled gun. The Palliser 61-pounders having previously fired the service charges of 81b. for range and accuracy with very good results, the firing continued on Tuesday with double charges, and 50 rounds were fired with 161 b. of powder. The guns worked well, being mounted on slides, and no signs of any defect were shown. It is stated that the War office will shortly undertake the conversion of our present useless stock of cast-iron guns on a large scale. This was some time ago strongly advocated and recommended by Gen. Lefroy, President of the Select Committee, who was the first to appreciate the value of Major Palliser's experiments. A short time since a 64-pounder wrought-iron gun sent Major Palliser's chilled shot through the Warrior target with only 121 b. of powder ; it therefore natu rally follows that our 32-pounders, of which there are several thousands in the service, can be converted into rifled guns which will penetrate any foreign ironclad. This remark applies with still greater force to our cast-iron guns of larger dimensions. One of these guns, a 68-pounder, was converted into a 7-inch gun, and during the year 1865 fired upwards of 750 rounds, every one of which, had chilled projectiles been employed, would have pene trated the Warrior at 500 yards. The Victorian Governnient has been the first to act on General Lefroy's recommendation, and 20 32-poundors and two 68-pounders, are being converted by their orders into 6-inch 64-pounders and 7-inch 115- pounders. On Wednesday the experiments at Shoe buryness were continued with the 7-inch Boxer shrapnel. This shell contains about 450 bullets of iron, and is in itself a small loaded canwa. The powder charge is contained in a chamber towards the base of the shell, where the sides of the shell are thick; the bullets are put into the cylindrical por tion of the shell, and a false head of thin wrought iron is then attached. The fuse, which is also of Colonel Boxer's pattern, is lighted by the Flash of the gun, and communicates through a long tube with the powder in rear. The wood targets, repre senting a column of infantry, were set up at a dis tance of 1,200 yards upon the sands, and the fuses were arranged so as to burst the shells about 60 or 100 yar'ds in front of them. The experiments were completely successful, as the shells burst at the pro per time, scattering their contents with the desired effect. The appearance of the bullets falling on the seashore at the distanca of 1,200 yards may be best. described by comparing it to a shower of gravel falling on a sheet of water, and casting up the bubbles. When the firing terminated, the " wooden regiment" was examined, and each target represent ing a soldier was found riddled in many places. These shells are certainly the most terrific missiles ever devised for the destruction of troops in column, or in boats attempting to effect a lauding.

Recruiting for the East India and British depots at Chatham garrison has been discontinued, with the exception of the Ist and 2d Royals and the 29th Regiment, the various corps having been recruited up to their full strength. A number of non-commissioned officers and sap pers of the Royal Engineers left head-quarters, Chatham, on Saturday, and proceeded to Dover, for the purpose of assisting in the arrangements for the Volunteer review to-day. During the time they are at Dover they will be under the orders of the Royal Engineer est Lblishment. Lieut. E. J. W. Laing, 2.1 West India Regiment, and Ensign W. H. Maberly, 4th West India Regi ment, at Chatham garrison, have been placed under orde s for embarkation, to join the service companies of their respective corps. An order has been received at Chatham directing a number of men to be selected from the various infantry corps at that garrison to proceed to Netley, where they will go through a probationary course of instruction previously to being transferred to the Army Hospital Corps. A detachment of the Ist division of the Depot Brigade, Royal Artillery, has been placed under orders to proceed from head-quarters to Shorncliffe, to augment the Royal Artillery at.that station. Mr. Corry, M.P., First Lord of the Admiralty, arrived on Thursday afternoon at Plymouth, and in passing through the Sound visited and in spected the armour-plated screw steamship Cale donia, 30, Capt. Hon. Fitzgerald A. C. Foley, flag of Admiral .11astings R. Yelverton, C.B. Port- Admiral Sir William F. Martin, K.C.8., and Rear-Admiral Superintendent the Lion. James R. Drummond, C. 8., met the First Lord in the Sound. On Good Friday in the morning the• First Lord attended divine service at the chapel in the dock yard, and in the afternoon went on Mount Wise. One of the principal objects of this visit appears to refer to the condition of the iron and armour-plated ships. On Saturday morning Mr. Corry landed from the Enchantress at the dock yard. He was accompanied during the day by Sir S. C. Dacres, K.C.8., one of the Lords; the First Secretary, Lord Henry Lennox ; Capt. Brandreth, Secretary to the First Lord ; Mr. Robinson, Con troller of the Navy ; Major Clarke and Mr. Hunt, of the Treasury; and was attended by the Port Admiral, Admiral Superintendent, Capt. Preedy, Capt. Tremlett, Mr. Martyn, Master Attendant ; Mr. Moore, Master Builder, &c. They first visited the storehouses, testing house, south smithery, and saw mills, and then went into No. 3 slip, in which is the screw steamship Robust, 81. She is only in frame ; for although. she has been six years on the stocks, no hands have been employed on her for some time. The disposal of this ship has long been a difficulty at Whitehall. In slip No. 2 is the Lap wing, 3, a double screw gun vessel of 663 tons, partly in frame, and building, being the only vessel in which progress is making in any of the capacious slips of Devonport dockyard. The mast-house having been visited their lordships next passed through the rope-walk, and examined the spinning jennies and new engine -house. At noon they were occupied some time in the office of the Admiral Superintendent. At 2 30 p.m. Mr. Corry went on board the Princess Alice, which•conveyed him to the breakwater ; but in consequence of the bois- I terous weather his stay here was very short, and he was not enabled to estimate the damage done by the storms of the winter to the structure, and which it will cost upwards of £20,000 to repair. At 3 30 p.m. the First Lord lauded again at the dockyard, and proceeded through the tunnel to Keyham steam-yard. He went round the iron turret ship . Prince Albert, 4, in No. 2 dock, and the armour-plated screw steam ship Lord Warden, 20, in No. 3 dock ; the latter is undergoing alterations and preparing for the first division of the Steam Reserve. His lordship then passed through . the great quadrangle to the new ground on the north, where a branch of the Corn wall Railway, some mile and a half long, has been introduced, by a connexion at Camel's Head. The extension of the north basin, which lies between the quadrangle and Hamoaze, was next inspected. Ori ginally this basin was 450 ft. long, 400 ft. broad, and 36ft. deep. When completed, in about six months, it will be 900 ft. long, 400 ft. broad, and 41ft. deep. The work, which is under contract to Mr. Jackson, appears to be progressing very satis factorily. There is naturally considerable difficulty in deepening the entrance to Hamoaze. Adjoining this basin is a boat basin, outside its western boun dary, about 300 ft. long. by 100 ft. at one end diminishing to about 20ft. at the other en d, and 30ft. deep. After expending some time on board the wooden screw steam sloop Daphne, 4, Mr. Corry and his colleagues joined the steam yacht princess Alice, which conveyed them up Hamoaze. It is reported in Plymouth that the screw steam ship Royal Albert, 107, of 3,726 tons burden, and I with engines of 500-horsepower, is likely to be appropriated for a gunnery ship in place of the Cam bridge, 2,139 tons, Capt. Charles J. F. Ewart. A further discharge of hands in the ropemaking department at Chatham Dockyard has been made, by order of the Admiralty, the late introduction of spinning machinery having to a very considerable extent lessened the demand for manual labour. The hands thus discharged are to bo entered as dock yard labourers at 45., • 35., and 2s. 6d.. per day respectively. In the notice in the " Naval Intelligence" columns of The Sun of Saturday, an error was made in stAting that the original designs for the extension of Chatham Dockyard, and the work now being car ried out there, was made by Major Andrew Clarke, R.E., the present Director of Works to the Ad miralty, these works having been designed by Mr. Scamp, the present Deputy-Director of Works, at the time Sir Charles Wood held office as First Lord of the Admiralty., The still greater works at Ports mouth were also designed by Mr. Scamp, as were the extension works at Keyham, Gibraltar, and Malta, now nearly completed. The armoured screw frigate Royal Alfred, Capt. F. A. Herbert, flagship of Vice-Admiral Sir G. Rodney Mundy, K.C.8., still remains anchored at Spithead, but will, it is understood, according to If any doubt existed as to impropriety of entrust ing magistrates with the power of granting liquor licenses, that doubt must be removed by an incident which has happened very recently. Within the last two or three years a new district has grown up in Paddington, and large number of houses have been built, and occupied as soon as built, chiefly by porters and servants of the Great Western Railway Company. This new suburb was lately formed into a separate parochial district, a temporary church was built, and an incumbent appointed who organised a large staff of clergy and district visitors, held frequent services, and established schools con taining some hundreds of children. But, unfor tunately, the publican is always on the look out •as sharply as the parson, and in this new district the inevitable corner-house, with plate-glass and flaring gas-lamps, made its appearance. It was opened exactly opposite the entrance to the church, as though with the express purpose of entering into competition with it. At first an ordinary license was obtained, then a spirit license was applied for. The clergy and leading parishicners prayed the magistrates not to grant it, representing how peculiarly obnoxious this particular house was be cause of its situation. But in vain did they ap peal. They were guilty of the sin of Ritualism the sapient magistrates declared they could not do anything which would sanction that, aud, after chaffing the memorialists for being " Puseyites," granted the licence. It is almost impossible to con ceive of such an extremity of odium theologicum. llad the memorialists been Mormons or infidels, it would have been incredible that any body of men would have deliberately chosen to grant a licence Under such circumstances ; but that Christian gentlemen, as it is to be supposed they are, should actually attempt to draw people away from a church by opening a gin-palace, should seek to protect them from " heresy" by making them drunk, is monstrous, and is the strongest possible condemna tion of the present licensing system. Unfortu nately, there is no appeal, and every one who goes to this church has to encounter the usual sights and sounds of brutality and blasphemy which the giu-palace always affords. Let the conduct of these religious parti sans be contrasted with that of Archbishop Man ning, who of late has joined with Churchmen and Dissenters of " all denominations," not in worrying religious opponents by forcing them to have ocular experience of revelry and ribaldry every time they perform their devotions, but in attempting the task which successive ministers have found beyond their power of amending the present discreditable licensing system.—London Correspondent of the Western Morning News.

The starting points are the White Horse Cellar, Piocadilly, and the Albion Hotel, Brighton. The coach en route for Brighton rattled through Kennington drawn by four fast horses, the bugle sounding " Slap bang, hero wo are again !" The vehicle was well loaded with pas sengers. These coaches will run each way every day (Suncitiys excepted). The fares are 12s. inside and 10s outside for the whole distance, with an additional 2s. 6d. for the box seat. The journey is to occupy fivo hours and a half. The " ribbons" were held on Monday by Mr. " Cherry" Angell, and the Duke of Beaufort and other distinguished sportsmen will act as " coachmen" during the season. The coach is entirely new, and the team is a first-rate one. ALDCROFT AND LORD GLASGOW.—" ArgUS " tells a most amusing story of the means of Aldcroft and his old master being brought together again. It seems that Mrs. Aldcroft, in looking over her husband's clothes, found an old cheque of Lord Glasgow's in his favour for £l9O, wrapped up in a tenner, and which had been put away for eleven years and forgotten by the recipient. When the discovery was made, Lord Glasgow was communicated with, and his lordship at once sent Aldcroft a fresh cheque, and told him if lie could get down to the proper weight he would re-engage him. This, by placing him self in a regular trainer's hands, as if he was to be pre pared for a fight.or a walking match, Aldcroft had been enabled to do, and so pleased was his lordship with the manner in which he rode his horse against The Peer, that he wrote him a cheque for a very handsome sum. One result, however, of Mrs. Aldcroft's discovery of the hidden treasure is, that every other jockey's wife or sister has been actively employed ever s ince in their left-off clothes, without having as y et made a similar amount of prize money ! going over NEWMRKET PROGRAAMME TUESDAY.
