" Nina BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY. tTn doubtedy the chief attraction today was Professor Fawcett's address, delivered in his capacity as president of the department of Economy and Trade. Amongst its other merits was the rare one of brevity—l mean com parative brevity, for it was quite long enough for any practical purpose, and contrasted most favourably with the two hours' discourse of Dr. Rumsey, against which I took occasion to lodge a modest protest yesterday. This, the last day of sectional business, has produced (as will be seen below) some papers of importance, which have under gone vigorous discussion. In the afternoon a meeting was held, to promote the establishment of a branch of the Ladies' Sanitary Association in Birmingham. The soirtse last night at the Town Hall was a pleasant reunion, and was well attended, although, if the truth be told, some of the Visitors who ought to have been. there were in another place, that other place being the theatre, there Miss Bateman was playing Lady Macbeth. The usual dinner of the membeis of the Association takes place at the Great Western Hotel this evening. - 4*,‘ I 14,41 department R t of F E A c N o le n 'C om E y 'r andrSADDRESS. liradlirs.F awee it In thee il d O e E read very effectively an address by Professor Fawcett, M.P., president of the department. Flavin cr at the outset remarked how important and desirable it was to trace the connection existing between the principles of economic science and their practical application to trade, and noted that many a great political blunder would have been avoided if prac tical men had more frequently been guided by the teach ings of science, the professor warned his audience not to forget the reverse aspect of the question, viz., the aid which was rendered to economic science by the knowledge derived from practical men. He then pro ceeded to notice that the most remarkable characteristic of the mode in which industry was carried on in this country was the circumstance that capital was supplied by one class, and labour by another. Although capital and labour must combine toproduce wealth, yet between those who supplied the capital and those who supplied the latx,ur there often existed no other relations than those between the buyer and the seller of a commodity. having applied these remarks to agriculture and manufactures, Professor Fawcett turned to the consideration of the co-operative plan which had been adopted in the works of Messrs. Crossley, of Halifax, and the collieries of the Messrs. Briggs, at Methley, near Leeds. Were the principle to be generally adopted, it would go far to do away with strikes. Though not opposed to courts of arbitration for settling trade disputes, he feared that such an artificial remedy could be but partial in its operation, But the present state of things could not continue. "Air will be eager for a change when the evils and the perils resulting from the present state of things are adequately recognised. England has now to carry on in some of hez most important branches of industry a keen and closely contested competition with foreign countries. The slightest additional burden cast upon her may cause the balance to turn against her. Let us, therefore, inquire, `What are the sources from which peril may come?' At the outset of such an investigation I would lay most emphatic stress upon two maxims. Employers should remember that any deterioration in the condition of our labourers may induce the best and most skilled workmen to emigrate. Equally important is it that the employed should remem ber that any rise in wages obtained by an undue reduction of their employers' profits may ultimately bring serious loss upon themselves. Capital is always withdrawn from an industry when profits are reduced below the ordi nary rate. Grave disaster may ensue if employers try to enrich themselves by reducing the earn ings of their workmen, or if workmen augment their earnings by diminishing the profits of their employ ers below the ordinary rate. These agencies, therefore, will produce the most permanently beneficial influence • which give additional prosperity to capitalists and labourers alike. Such an agency will be brought into operation by the establishment of some system of indus trial partnerships." Passing to the subject of education, the professor remarked that most of the serious burdens which the industry of this country has to bear . were, either directly or indirectly, due to deficient educa tion. It was a truism to assert that ignorance was the fruitful source of crime and pauperism. The vast annual cost of maintaining our criminals and paupers represented so much abstracted from the profits of the capitalist and the earnings of the labou rer. A reduction in profits and wages might cause capital to be withdrawn from our industry, and might encourage ci r best labourers to leave us. Experience had shewn that tl e moral qualities of man were developed by bringing his mental faculties into activity. "If a higher moral tone and a keener sense of honour prevailed, what an incal culable expenditure would be avoided, which is now annually incurred because there are always some who cannot be trusted to do their duty without being care- ' fully overlooked. Education powerfully promotes the acquisition of the most valuable industrial qualities ; it makes the workman more skilful ; it also induces him to recognise the duty of setting aside some provision for the future. Ignorance and recklessness generally ac company each other. Extra earnings arc often spent, by those who cannot appreciate rational amusements, in drink and tobacco. A diminution in the hours of toil is a greatboon to those who can utilise leisure, but spare time bangs heavily on the hands of those who can neither read nor write." Professor Fawcett having noticed that the Education Bill introduced into Parliament by Mr. Austin Bruce and Mr. W. E. Forster did not go far enough in the way of compul.ihry education, inasmuch as it would only confer the power to enforce an edu cational rate, and would altogether fail to reach those children who were either prematurely sent to work or who were allowed to run to ruin in the streets, concluded his address by sayings " Both in town and country there are numbers of children growing up in a state of complete ignorance, who live in the neighbourhood of well-managed and well-supported schools; but those who object to edu cational rates would be at once conclusively answered by arguments based on economic considerations, if such rates were associated with a power to. compel the attendance of children at school. It could thrn be affirmed that the outlay in the first instance made for education would inevitably act more powerfully than any other circumstance, not only to reduce rates, but also to augment the wealth of every class in the community. If we had no pauperism and no crime, local taxation would be too insignificant to be felt by anyone, and pauperism and • crime are in the vast majority of cases directly to be traced to vices which are engendered by ignorance. Education would diffuse more wealth amongst every class in the community, for as local burdens d iminished less would be taken by the rate collector from the profits of capital and from the wages of labour. Education by increasing the efficiency of labour would cause more wealth to be produced without adding to human toil, profits and wages would be augmented ; commodities would also become cheaper, if capital and labour were more productive. Hence greaterplenty would be diffused over the land. Few would have to carry on such a severe struggle for existence as many now unhappily have to wage, and if the hours of labour became shortened our people would have the mental cultivation to appreciate and utilise their additional leisure. Around us on every side are unmistakeable signs of the accumulations of vast wealth ; manufactories are rapidly increasing ; our exports and imports have trebled within the memory of men now living ; our capital is so enormous that it not only supports our own industry, but is embarked in various enterprises in every quarter of the world. When, however, we contrast these evidences of great wealth with the vast sums which are annually spent in maintaining our paupers; when we know that in some of our most prosperous towns there is so much overcrowding that thousands are annually hurried to a premature grave ; when we remember that numbers whose labour helps to create an industrial greatness have to depend in old age and in sickness upon parochial relief, we must, I think, come to the conclusion that the economist and practical man should unite their efforts in the endeavour to show how the vast wealth which is annually produced might be so distributed as to diffuse more general well-being amongst mankind." JURISPRUDENCE AND AMENDMENT OF THE LAW. - - In the section of this department devoted to Muni cipal Law, a taper was read by Mrs. Baines, on "The Legal Aspects of the Domestic Service Question." In brief, the document was a series of suggestions for an amendment of the laws that affect the relations of em ployer and employed. The custom of requiring " a month's warning or a month's wages" was held to be very objec tionable, for it gave undue power to the servant, and it was proposed that a weekly hiring and weekly notice were preferable. The servant would then feel that her place depended on her own behaviour in it. It was further urged that a clerk or other such person should be ap pointed in every borough or market town, and a day in the week fixed for hearing disputes or complaints oncler the part of servants and ~employers : the said k to have the power of settling all minor di s p utes ; more important cases to be referred to the Town C o urt, a private hearing to be granted when desired by complainant defendant. On the question of hiring, it was suggested that certificates should be issued from the office of the and parish of the srvaut calpetr3kly,insgtaftoiruga tslteuantgioe,rinatwee, name and residence of her llaesatviielignp;laoyfienre, tloenbgetllnlilpic.seedr voiene,adnayteselovfattlttudzaash(i)iilligfoar situation, and on any person engaging a servant, without such certificate. The other proposals made by Mr. Baines were, th a t no servant should be entitled to a recommenda tion to anither situation under twelve 'llona's' good service, fuleleasysinstri; e t i i eLt r t e i a le so m u n c ic o a t i i i l i d t l o )e f s , h v ez e n s a ts1 ; lo to the between the parties, but with this agreement— thatlll'lbe d t e l d iere should be an increase, say of 1-1611 part of the causedfiresct-named sum for the second year, and a similar addition for the third year, it being supposed that after three years' good service there would be an amicable under standing between the parties, so that no further disputes would arise, and that after the first year's service any servant or employer wishing to make a change must give proper notice to the nearest office, the time of leaving to be regulated according to the convenience of the persons concerned, the servant never to leave under a month from the time of notice unless her place be filled, the wag .s always to be paid up to the time of leaving.

Stern Brothers bag to announce that they are authorised to receive subscripticns for the above bonds, which are issued for the purpose of effecting a loan to the Italian Government, secured on produce of the tobacco revenue of Italy, in pursuance of the above-mentioned convention. The bonds are issued by the company entitled "Societe pour la litegie co-interessee des Tabacs dans le Royourne d'ltalie," established with a capital of fifty millions of lire (X 2,000,000), to which has been conceded by that conven tion the farming of the Italian tobacco manufacture for fifteen years. The manufacture and sale of tobacco in Italy are, as is known, exclusively reserved to the Government, and the profits therefrom form ono of the principal sources of the revenue of the kingdom. The returns from this source aro published monthly in the Italian Government Gazette, from which it appears that the gross receipts in 1867 amounted to upwards of eighty-one millions of lire. This did not include the revenue from the Venetian territory, which is now added, estimated at eleven millions more. Th 3 convention (Arts. 5 and 23) stipulates that the com pany shall retain and set apart out of the revenues of the tobacco manufacture sufficient moneys to provide for the interest and sihking fund cf the Lends, prior to any pay ment to the Government or the sharehuldere. The bonds are guaranteed by the Italian Government, and will be countersigned by a representative specially appointed by the Government for that purpose. The bonds will be issued in amounts of 500 f. and 2,500 f each (the latter comprising five of 500 f.) They will be expressed in francs and in the equivalent amount in pounds sterling, at the fixed exchange of 251. 20c., at which rate the repayments in London of the principal will be made. The bonds Lear interest at the rate of 6 par cent. per annum; thus ou each bond of 2,500 francs the annual in terest will be 150 francs, which will bo reduced to 136 francs 80 centimes by the deduction of the general Italian income tax of 8.80 per cent. The interest will be payable half yearly, on the Ist January and Ist July, in gold, in Illy, and at Paris, Lon dan, and Frankfort. The bonds will be divided into thirty series, each eon containing 15,800 bonds of 500 francs each, redeemable at par, within , fifteen years from the Ist January, 1869, by thirty half-yearly drawings, the first to be made on the Ist April, 1E69. At each drawing ono entire series will be drawn. The repaytneut will take place three months after the drawing, and will be made at par (without any deduction for tax) in Italy, Paris, London, and Frankfort. All payments in Italy, both of principal and interest, will be made in gold, to the exclusion of all paper money. The I:alien Government has stipulated that the holders of bonds shall have the option of taking at par 47,400 shares in the company, of 500 lire each, at the rate of one share for every ten 500 franc bonds, for which purpose the Concessionaires, having subscribed fo: the who!e of the 100,000 shares which compose the company's capital, have appropriated thereout 47,400 shares.
