He came forward in consequence of criticism which had been pronounced on his views on this subject, to the effect that they were unworthy of the " Cobden Lecturer." After pointing out what he consi dered to be an unfair way of treating the masters by the unions, the professorlaid down the following propositions: — Firstly. The supposed struggle with capitalists in which many unions engage, for the purpose of raising wages, is not really a struggle of labour against capital, but of labour against labour—that is, of certain classes or sections of labourers against other classes or sections. Secondly. It is a struggle in which a few peculiarly situated trades can succeed in benefiting themselves. 'Thirdly. Unions which succeed in maintaining a high rate of wages only succeed by protection—that is, by levying contributiots from other classes of labourers and from the population in general. Fourthly. Unionism as at present conducted tends, therefore, to aggravate the differences of wages between the several classes of operatives. It is an effort of some sections to raise themselves at the expense of others. Taking the building trade for example, his argu ment was, that by raising their own wages they did not really take the money out of the pockets of the masters, but out of the pockets of those who wanted buildings erected. The rich could afford to pay, but it rubbed hard on the shoulders of their fellow working men, who were obliged, because of it, to live in wretched hovels. If wages aro raised 10 per cent. it brings no profit if prices are raised in the same degree. It thus appears that in reality trades unions are merely protection societies, i.e., they gain themselves by the loss sustained by their brethren. Men, he said, were constantly complaining of the tyranny of capital. But this tyranny was really the tyranny of a man's own, stomach—they must eat every day, and as long as they had no accumulated wealth, no savings, they must find work for every day. They could not help themselves, but were at the mercy of the capitalist, who alone could air; them work. But all this was changed for the man who had even a moderate amount of savings. Not only did be disarm sickness or misfortune of half its terrors, but ho might also, by co-operation, become his own employer ; and then he would cease to complain of the tyranny of capital. He hoped for the working men of this country more than they generally hoped for themselves, that they might become in a great degree their own capitalists, and the builders of their own fortunes. PHICE. 4d. STAMPED 51. TILE ROYAL rISIT 70 IRELAND. Their R , ,yal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will leave Marlborough House on Monday next for Sandringham, and will probably stay there for a week. On Tuesday week the Prince and Princess quit London, and on Wednesday, the day following, their royal highnesses purpose to enter Dublin. Arrangements are made so that the dress carriages, together with a 1 irge staff of the Prince of Wales's household stables, shall leave on Thurs day week for the reception of the illustrious visi tors. We understand their royal highnesses will stop at Bangor, where an address will be presented to the Prince by the high she - riff, Mr. R. S. Parry, and a deputation from the leading families of the county, it being their royal highnesses' first visit to North Wales. The arrangements for the reception of the royal pair are now being proceeded with in the most vigorous manner, regardless of expense and trouble ; and it is not improbable that, with the exception of her Majesty herself, no visit of a member of the royal family has ever been so cordial or so auspicious as the approaching advent of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The ar rangements at Holyhead, through which, of course, the royal party will pass, are being carried out under the direction of Admiral Schomberg. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert will proceed there, with the naval escort of the Channel fleet, to convey the illustrious visitors to Kingstown, where Rear-Ad miral Buckle, commander of the Irish station, will hoist his flag on board the Royal George. Fitting arrangements are also being made iu Kingstown, and it is now pretty certain that the stay of the Prince and Princess will be of some few days' longer duration than was originally intended when his Royal Highness signified his intention of coming over to be installed as a Knight of St. Patrick. The ceremony of the installation of the Prince as a Knight of St. Patrick will be, without doubt, one of the most impoaing witnessed in Ireland for a long series of years. The robes to be worn on the occasion by the Prince of Wales are formed of the very richest sky blue tabinet, lined with white silk. The star to be worn on the left breast is of considerable size, and is surmounted by white satin rosettes and streamers. A cord of blue silk and gold, with heavy bullion tassels, will pass round the neck. Every portion of the robes will be of Irish manufacture. Pages will be dis pensed with, except in the case of the Prince of Wales, the Lord Lieutenant, and the Marchioness of Abercorn. Every knight will have two esquires, who must appear in similar uniform, and there is little doubt that the spectacle will be of the grandest kind. The preparations for the citizens' ball at the Exhibition Palace are going on capitally. The interior of the grand glass building will pre sent a gorgeous appearance, and on account of the peculiar facilities which the Exhibition Palace affords for decoration and for being shown off to advantage under the influence of artificial light the ball promises to bd a great suc cess. Visitors from all parts of the couutr3 are to arrive in Dublin to be present at the ball, and lodgings are already at a premium. The Mansion House is also being fitted up in an appropriate manner, and the decorations arc being admirably and tastefully carried out. In the centre of the ceiling of the Round Room a large gas sunlight is being constructed, which will give a brilliant and evenly-distributed light over the entire hall. The thrones on the magnificently carpeted dais for their royal highnesses will be superb specimens of carved gilding and upholstery, hung with crimson, relieved with gold. From the cornices also critnson draperies will be suspended, relieved by white cambric, in which is interwoven in gold the prince's plume, the rose, shamrock, and thistle, and the words, " Cead Mille Faiithe," The Oak and supper rooms will b. - 3 furnished and decorated with great elegance and mag nificence. Their royal highnesses will proceed ♦o Sallius Station, en route to Punchestown races, by special trai n . and the officials of the Great Soutkern and Western Railway have received in structions to have the royal carriage in readiness on Thursday morning, the 16th of April. A squadron of cavalry, from Newbridge, will be in waiting at Sallins to escort the royal visitors to the course. It is expected that the inhabitants of Naas will pre sent his royal highness with an address on his way through their town to the races. There is not a vehicle remaining unengaged, fancy prices being in almost every instance given for the two days, and it is hoped that the railway arrangements will meet the emergency. The Lord Mayor of London, the Lady Mayoress, and Miss Allen will be the guests of the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress at the Mansion House during the visit. THE INSTITUTE OF NAVAL ARCHITECTS. The annual session of this institute, the presi dent of which is the Secretary of State for War, opened yesterday at the rooms of the Society of Arts, Adelphi, and the proceedings were attended by many eminent men. It was stated that Sir John Pakington was prevented through severe indispo sition from presiding that morning and delivering the usual address, but that he would be present at one of the sittings. Mr. Samuels, M.P., thereupon took the chair, and the secretary read the council's report, which congratulated the institution on the useful work which it had been the means of doing, and stated that it was under thd consideration of the Government as to making an annual grant in aid of the institution's funds, which were used for a national purpose. The School of Naval Architec ture and Marine Engineering was progressing favourably, and the number of students was in creasing year by year. The report concluded by stating that it was understood an Amendment Bill for the Merchant Shipping Acts would be shortly introduced into Parliament, when the recommenda tions of the institute's council regarding the safety of ships, made respecting the loss of the London, would receive attenion. The chairman then ad dressed the meeting, and supplemented the state ments in the report by informing the meeting that the Admiralty bad determined to keep 30 students in the school of the institute, as it had been found that the students who came from there had given the greatest satisfaction to their officers when employed in Government yards, and to those who had engaged them in private yards. He proceeded then to speak of the value of steel in shipbuilding, for, as regarded strength, he said he had tested it for wear and tear by the fact that he had built a vessel at the close of the Crimean war for work in a very rough sea—the Black Sea—and that vessel was now as good as on the day he turned it out of the yard. The :manufacture of the material was then not so well understood, and the steel plates cost then £5O a ton, but now they might be had for £2O. As the strength of steel might be said to be about as 40 to 20 as against iron, the importance of using steel ships in place of iron ships would at once be apparent, as the diffe rence in the weight of the two ships could be used to increase the weight of cargo, or to admit of in creased speed with the same power. Mr. T. A. Roshussen then read a paper " On the treatment of steel plates in the shipbuilder's yard," and the other papers set down for reading were on various tech nical points by Mr. 11. Sharp, Mr. E. Flachat, Mr. A. l)ekke (of Bergen, Norway), and Mr. S. M. Saxby. An evening sitting was held, and among the papers set down for reading to-day are two by Vice-Admiral E. P. Halstead a nd Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Belcher, K.C.8.: The prices of llorninum's Teas are greatly reduced ; their well-kuoy, , u superiority has attracted a host of spurious imitations; therefore notice all Genuine Packets are signed, " Hornintan 4- co," Loudon. 300 Confectioners are Agents in Loudon and 2,200 Chemists in the Country.

OUR MUSICAL MAGAZINES. HANOVER SQUARE.—The editor, Mr. Lindsey .Sloper, has presented to his patrons this mouth a very - admirable number. It Opens with a brilliant impromptu by Lefebure Wely, which will meet with the approval of all true musicians, and the same complimentary remark will apply to the Serenade by Henry W. Goodban. The latter, perhaps, will prove the favourite, on account of the rich strain of melody which flows through it. We have also a very expressive song by Virginia Gabriel, entitled " Echoes ;" which, while it shows to advantage the taste and style of the . vocalist, does not tax the voice to that unucessary extent which now seems to be the rule in all new ballads. Alberto Raudegger's Stattene Allegro, Stornello, the English translation by Campbell Clarke, makes up the number, and cer tainly four finer pieces have never been offered to the public at anything approaching the price of this attractive magazine. BOND-STREET.—The new number of this sprightly and pretty magazine, which appeals more particu larly to the general musical public than the one just mentioned, is of more than ordinary good ness. It does not enter the race for public favour as a rival to the above, but its object is to provide new compositions for those who have a fair knowledge of the pianoforte, and all who delight in ballad music. The April number opens with a very sweet and melodious ballad by henry Russell, entitled the " Trysting Tree," a song that would secure distinction for its author were he much less known and appreciated than its talented composer. Mr. Conte elves us another of his admirable quadrilles, entitled the " Irresistible," and mr. u. uoote, Jun., contributes a sparkling gallop, entitled the " Snow drift." In addition to the above,. there are two bal lads, one by Mr. J.Young,called the " Prison Flower," li the other, by Mr. kV. Taylor, " List to the Fairy Strains," both of which abound in graceful melody. The promise made by the projectors of the new magazine at starting, viz., that nothing but that which was really good should appear within it, has been up to the present strictly observed, as Bond street has already given to the musical public a choice variety of light and pretty music at a price quite sufficient to render the new magazine a general favourite, and at the same time establish it as a great and permanent success. EXETER lIALL.--This is another musical magazine different from each of the foregoing; its object is to provide sacred music for Sunday evenings, worthy of being performed by the best musicians. The great attraction of the present number will certainly be the splendid arrangement for the piano, of " Sound the Loud Timbre'," by the eminent composer W. Kuhe ; it is, indeed, a brilliant piece, and one that cannot fail to en hance the reputation of this most accomplished musician. The arrangement is marked with all that grandeur and fullness which so greatly distin guish the works of Kuhe, and which has rendered him one of our very best composers for the piano forte, Mr. Benedict enriches the number with a new and beautiful sacred song, entitled, " He giveth his beloved sleep," which bears in every note evi dence of the master hand ; and Mr. Hopkins con tributes a new hymn, " The Lilies of the Field." Mr. Redhead adds another song, "I think of thee," and an effective piece by Rimboult for the harmo nium makes up a very attractive number. Messrs. Hopwood and Crew, of New Bond street, have just published another choice addition to their very attractive catalogue of ballad and dance music, and amongst the former Mr. Raw linson's song, " The Birds await the Day," must become a general favourite on account of the flow of pure melody which so greatly distinguishes it. In the dance music we• have a very brilliant galop, by Charles Coote, jun., entitled " Jupiter," and he has also worked up a collection of lively bal lads into a most delightful set of quadrilles, which he has facetiously named " The Mormons." Mr. Coote, senior, has interwoven all the gems of the celebrated band of minstrels at the St. James's Hall into a very beautiful piece, which he has most appropriately named " The Christy's Jewel Waltz," which will doubtless meet with universal favour on account of the clever manner in which the different airs have been arranged. It will prove a very attractive present to lady pianists on account of its intrinsic merit and the extreme beauty of its frontispiece,which is quite a:specimen of the perfec tion to which the art of chromolithography has been brought. Messrs. Metzler, of Great Marlborough-street, have just issued a new edition of llemy's piano forte instructor, which is decidedly one of the best published, and also a new c3mposition for the piano entitled 'The Floweret," by Charles Fontaine, which will certainly find much favour with those who desire to add to their collection a piano and music calculated to please a general company. BELGIAN HORTICULTURAL EN: lIIBITION.---The grand International Horticultural Exhibition was opened at Ghent by the King and Queen, who was accompanied by the Count and Countess of Flanders, on Sunday. The gold medal of honour offered by the Queen to that foreign exhibitor whose collection should be most praised by the judges was awarded to Mr. James Veitch, of Chelsea. THE CONVICT PRISON AT PORTSHOUTII—Cap tain Rose, who has held the Governorship of Portsmouth since 1855, has retired from that office. Before leaving, on Wednesday, he had the officers mustered, and bade them an affectionate farewell. The late governor was much respected, and will be succeeded by the son of the late Admiral Sir Robert Stopford, from partmoor. THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will leave Marlborough House on Monday next for Sandringham, and will probably stay there for a week. On Tuesday week the Prince and Princess quit London, and on Wednesday, the day following, their Royal High nesses purpose to• enter Dublin. The arrangements for the reception of the royal pair are now being proceeded with in the most vigorous manner, regardless of expense and trouble ; and it is not improbable that, with the exception of her Majesty herself, no visit of a member of the Royal Family has ever been so cordial or so auspicious as the approaching advent of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The arrangements at Holyhead, through which, of course, the royal party will pass, are being carried out under the direction of Admiral Schomberg. Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert will proceed there, with the naval escort of the Channel fleet, to convey the illustrious visitors to Kingstown, where Rear-Admiral Buckle, commander of the Irish station, will hoist his flag on board the Royal George. Fitting arrangements are also being made in Kingstown, and it is now pretty certain that the stay of the Prince and Princess will be of some few days' longer duration than was originally intended when his Royal Highness signified his intention of coming over to be installed as a Knight of St. Patrick. The ceremony of the installation of the Prince as a Knight of St. Patrick will be, without doubt, one of the . most imposing witnessed in Ireland for a long series of years. The robes to be worn on the occasion by the Prince of Wales are formed of the very richest sky bine tabinet, lined with white silk. The star to be worn on the left breast is of considerable size, and is surmounted by white satin rosettes and streamers. A cord of blue silk and gold, with heavy bullion tassels, will pass round the neck. Every portion of the robes will be of Irish manufacture. Pages will be dispensed with, except in the case of the Prince of Wales, the Lord-Lieutenant, and the Marchioness of Abercorn. Every knight will have two esquires, who must appear in similar uniform, and there is, little doubt that the spectacle will be of the grandest kind. The preparations for the citizens' ball at the Exhibition Palace are going on capitally. The interior of the grand glass building will present a gorgeous appearance, and on account of the peculiar facilities which the Exhibition Palace affords fur decoration and for being shewn off to advantage under the influence of artificial light, the ball promises to be a great success. Visitors from all parts of the country are to arrive in Dublin to be present at the ball, and lodgings are already at a premium. The Mast sion House is ale) being fitted up in an appropriate manner, and the decorations are being admirably am) tastefully carried out. In the centre of the ceiling of the Round Room a large gas sunlight is being constructed, which will give a brilliant and evenly-distributed light Over the entire ball. The thrones on the magnificently carpeted dais for their Royal Highnesses will be superb specimens of carved gilding and upholstery, hung with crimson, relieved with gold. From the cornices also crimson draperies will be suspended, relieved by white cambric, in which is interwoven in gold the Prince's plume, the rose, shamrock, and thistle, and the words " Cead Mine Failthe." The Oak and supper rooms will be furnished and decorated with great elegance and mag- • nificence. Their Royal Highnesses will proceed to Sallins Station, en route lb Punchestown Races, by special train, and the officials of the Great Southern and Westemßailway have received instructions to have the Royal carriage in readiness on Thursday morning, the 16th April. There is not a vehicle remaining unengaged, fancy prices being in almost every instance given for the two days, and it is hoped that the railway arrangements will meet the emer• gency. TORTURE IN INDIA. —The Delhi Gazette says there is a report of a dreadful case of torture by the police at Howrah. In order to induce a man to make a confes sion about a theft that had taken place, a lota full of wasps was fastened mouth downwards on the man's stomach. After suffering this shocking and inhuman treatment the poor wretch was brought out and merci lessly beaten by the head constable in the presence of the European inspector. The case is before the deputy magistrate. AN AWKWARD TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGE.— in' merchants at Victoria who are interesting themselves in the project of supplying the English market with Aus tralian preserved meat, were lately subjected to a great disappointment. It seems that a telegram was received stating that 38,000 tons of the meat had been sold in Lon don. The news caused much rejoicing. It was subse quently discovered, however, that there had been an error of a letter in the message. An " o " had been substituted for an " i." It should have been 38,000 tins, not tons. The tins only contain a few pounds each. THE PRINCE OF WALES IN THE PRINCIPALITY. —A movement is being made by the High Sheriff of Car narvon to give the Prince and Princess of Wales a suitable reception at Bangor on their return from their visit to Ireland. A meeting is called at Carnarvon on Tuesday next, when the whole question will be discussed in a manner becoming loyal Welshmen. It is already under stood that his Royal Highness has graciously consented to receive a deputation at Bangor, where an address will be presented, and it only remains for the details to be carried out in a manner worthy of the occasion. FEMALE EMIGRATION TO CANADA. —Miss Maria S. Rye, whose labours in connection with female emigra , tion to our colonies are so well known, has been in corn munication with the Government of Canada, and has been informed that many respectable young women can be placed most comfortably there. Miss Rye intends going out to Canada in May, and taking one hundred women with her. They will go by steamer, and start from Liver pool on the 28th May. There are good openings at Canada for general servants, nunemaids,housemaids, washerwomen, dressmakers, and needlewomen.
