man named "John Barry," who is made particularly happy by such a result. The character of Margaret had all the advantage of Miss Vincent's acknow ledged powers in this department, while Miss E. Terrey, first as Miss Betty Scrag (a dealer in tripe and sheep's heads at Back-hill, Islington), and after wards as Mrs. Nim Vatkins, kept the audience in great good-humour by her liver and whimsical per sonation of those characters. lo all the other parts similar praise may be awarded; and if interest on the part of the audience be an; criterion of success, this piece bids fair for a considerable run. -I burletta, entitled Hercules, King of Clubs, was the second coprse in the bill of fare for the evening. It is a very smart and laughter-promoting little piece, as was evinced by the mariner in which it was re ceivefl. The evening's entertainment concluded with a Icrand historical drama, adapted from the novel of Sir Walter Scott, called The Knights of the Cross; or, the Dog and the Standard. The cha racter of Richard Cceur 6e Lion was very well sus tained by Mr. Henry Howard; that of Philip of France, by Mr. Hitchison; and that of Leopold of Austria, by Mr. Henry. Berengeria, Queen of Eng land, was well represented by Mrs. G. Lee; and Edith Plantagenet by Miss Richardson. As the Dog of the Standard " Hector" enjoyed a consider able share of applause. The house was exceedingly full, even in the early part of the evening, and the audience appeared much gratified at all that was pro vided for their amusement. ROYAL STAA !MAD. This popular eastern theatre was filled last evening, and well do the spirited managers deserve this sup port. For their Easter attraction they brought forward another version of the/flood Royal; or, ,the Crown Jewels. This was followed by the Gal Bird, and then came the real attraction of the evening, bearing the start ling title of Mount Vesuvius, or the fiend of the Volcano, and founded upon a tale which appeared some years back in " Friendship's Offering." The scenery was excellent, and the actors did all that was necessary —pleased the audience. In furnishing this brief notice of the entertainments of the evening, we must not overlook the remarkable performances of Herr Hengler on the tight rope, who performed several daring and astonishing evolutions, which were loudly applauded. A Miss Emma Short made her debut on this occasion, in the character of Rachel Ryland, in the Gaol Bird, and gave some promise of future excellence. EXHIBITIONS, &c. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. Crowded as was the attendance, and varied, novel, and magnificent the objects of admiration and the vehicles of instruction presented last evening at this centre of the world's •wonders, it is yet a pleasant variety in our holiday notices to have someiting to find fault with-- positive omission to complain of—in the Easter arrange ments of the Polytechnic Institution. We advise Young England to raise one eager and irresistible demand for the speedy repetition of Professor Bachhoffner'e Lectures upon Astronomy, to ishich, and the bestriful transparent series of orreries wish which they were illustrated, the unprecedented pressure of Parliamentary business during Lent prevented anything like justice being dime by the preps. It is to be hoped that the call will be earnest ail general, and that no access of novelty, however start ling or abundant, will prevent an early resumption of the learned end eloquent lecturer's admirable discourses upon the most sublime of sciences. Under the cart a of popu ler leeteires upon astronomy we never heard and thing equal or approaching to Professor Bachlroffrier's, either in the clearness and comprehensiveness of the instruc tion itself e sr f in the 1 - eauty of the dissolving pictures of the heavens, by which each lecture was optically de monstrated. - There seems no sufficient reason for eon flab** such-attractive and exalting lessons to the one season of Lent. Of perhaps greater importance, as re gards the immediate and practical effect upon the every day occurrences of human life, are the lectures of Dr. Ryan upon Phillips's Fire Annihilator," the limita tion of which to one day of the week (Nloni 3 ,ay) might lead us to suppose that already almost every one in the metropolis—the great storehouse of destructive con flagrations—had been as thoroughly consinced of the prodiaious efficacy of the ntion, as those who had the good fortune to hear i's powers explained, and to see its operation exemplified by one of the fittest men living for the noble task. But we think it , - scarcely too much to say, that as the apparatus has not been yet brought into universal use, as the attention of the authorities has not been awakened to a sense of their duty as re spects the "Fire Annihilator," it continues part of the duty of the directors of the Polytechnic, and an un finished part of Dr. Ryan's mission, to exhibit daily to their thousands of admiring visitors and pupils, that there exist, ready prepared an I instantly accessible, the means of extinguishing a fire in any building, however ex eensirce and of preventing the loss of a single life by fire, even in London, where such calamities are so frequent knd deplorable. There is one most interesting part of Dr. Ryan's lectures upon this invention to which it is always desirable to revert—the model apparatus used by the learned doctor d: es not occupy more span than the size of a-quart bottle, and in any bed room, provided with it, the endangered sleeper, awaking amidst flames, could, instantly and by the slightest effort, over come the appalling enemy, and be placed in perfect safety. We trust that t very one who has not yet witnessed the convincing experiments of this inappreciable invention, and who values the lives of his fellow- creatures, will re member that Dr. Ryan exhibits them still on Mondays. 111-natured and grumbling we may, however, be fairly deemed by ti.e many hundreds, (the thousands two or three)who ye-tcrday participated with us in cur surprise at the Irish display of the institution's inexhaustible re sources, and the tmtirine ski.l and ingenuity of its pro fessors, artists, and contributors. Dr. Ryan commenced a new course of lectures upon " The Chemistry of Do mestic Life" worthy of his reputation, and abounding in those elegancies of diction and felicitous perspicuities by which he makes the most abstruse subjects intel ligible and the dryeet attractive and interesting. Every one who regards the comforts, economy, and security .of " domestic" life should attend this course. Prof: even. Bachhoffner in the course of the day gave several lectures i upon different branches of natural philosophy nad tearable style, and illustrated by varied and brilliant experiments. The excellent inventions of Mr. Long bottom, the highly talented secretary, the Physioscope, &c., were exhibited as usual, and the Dissolving views are enriched with new attractions of extreme beauty. A valuable little work, entitled " The Companion to the Lecture Rooms th• do) al Polytechnic Institution," by 11. Ault, Esq., of Gloucester :louse, West Ham, was put into our hands. It is a complete glossary of all the chemical and other technical terms made use of in the lecture rooms with their meaning, derivation, and appli cation, a ith an elphebetical and descriptive signification of the principal terms which are applied to the arts and science. A careful examination of the book convince; us that it will be found a most useful companion, or book reference, after a visit to the instil ution. The extreme fineness of the weather yesterday caused the various exhibitions with which the metropolis abounds to be crowded throughout the day by the holi dey- makers, who conducted themselves with the greatest propriety and decorum. Ilineng the exhibitions:— THE NATIONAL. GALLERY was crowded throughout the day by a very orderly company, and by far more nu merous than on any previous occasion. In order, how ever, to prevent the rooms from being over crowded, the number admitted at a time was limited to 300. Those paintings which attracted the greatest notice were, Hogarth's series of" Marriage A la Mode," which were painted exactly a century since, the Falette under the portrait of himself and dog bearing the name " Hogarth, 1745 ;" and Wilkie's " Bib d Fiddler," and " Village Festival." WESTMINSTER, ABBET.—Since the reduction in the price for view ing the various chapels and tombs in the ancient Abbey of Westminster, the number of persons anxious to see them has gradually increased, and on no °evasion have there been so many visitors as yesterday. Instead of-going round with three or four as formerly, the verger who shows the tombs, &c., had a company of from forty or fifty at a time during the day. The principal points of attraction were Henry the Vll.'s chapel, with Its beautiful roof, and the brass tomb of that monarch, 'the shrine of Edward the Confessor, and the coronation chair, in which many pretty young girls sat during the day, inquiring of their lovers, w ho g,ein rally accompanied them, if they looked like queens. In Poet's Corner, many persons during, the day had a gratuitous peep at the monuments raised e ' to the memory of England's poets. THE CHINESE EXHIBITION.—Yesterday, the Feast of Lanterns, with an addition of many hundreds of lanterns, was reproduced at this unrivalled collection of all that relates to the Celestial Empire, with great splendour. The room in which the " feast" is held was well attended, and every person appeared delighted with the treat they had experienced. THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—The number of visitors to this national institution yesterday was 15,316, being a decrease in the number, 1 , 3 compared with Easter Monday last e ear, of 6,023, when the numb: r was 21,339. MADAME TESSAUD . S.—The number of visitors who attended this talented lady's admirable exhibition yester day, was far greater than has been known on any previous occasion. From the hour the rooms were opened to the public until their close last evening they ' continued densely crowded. The last new group, the House of Brunswick at one view, was the most admired. he figisree of the Bishop of Exeter, Mr. Cobden, and Tom Thweb, were highly sp iken of by the visitors. PANORAMA, LEICESTER•SQUARE.—The view of the city and Bay of N a pl es, b y moon li g h t, w i t h t h e erupt i on of - Mount Vesuvils, recently opened at this exhibition, was visited by a large number of holiday folks yesterday. TIIE PAIRS AT GREENWICH, STEPNEY AND THE TUNNEL, THE RIVER, &c. Two years ago Stepney fair, w hi c h h a d l a i d un d er the magisterial interdict tor twenty-five year-, was rev i re d with groat success. This year it has be, n laid out on a most extensive scale, and deserv:s the first notice. Two large fields have been npprepriated to the fair, which me separated from each o; her by Charles -street. In the first, called Manor I it Id, behind the Prince of Wal,s Tavern, facing the Thames Police-court, is a splendidly decorated both called the Crown and A nelmr, beloefT,ing to Mr. Stevens, the celebrated Ess. x r. It is just 350 feet in length, and 50 feet in bra- ndth, and after sunset Wai illuminated with variegated lamps and de vice.; ; and in the evening - , when the Poll.a was Leing danc,d by more than 200 couples, with great v!goar, and the place vs as li E ,hted up, the effect was very brilliant. The band is a most excellent one. To do justice to the . cissiesrs, if they die( not dance the folks with all the ele gance of . an taasembly at A knack's, they wore more indus trious, and often had recourse to the haul and beef and the bottled gout, to recruit their exhausted strength. The " Polka at Stepney Fair," then, must be a new dance for the Court after this. There are other booths for dancing and refreshments, neatly fitted up, belonging to young Stevens, the Essex phenomenon ; and Beckett and Hicks, of the Cricketers, in London-street. They were all filled to overflowing. Price's equestrian and gym nastic company. and the veteran Clarke, well known at Bartholomew Fair, have each pitched a large tent in this field, and the performances were witnessed by adesiring thousands during the day. The scenes in the circle, the horsemanship, and evolutions of the Acrobats, tight rope dancers and others, at both places, were uncom monly well dune. The rivalry between Price and Clarke was carried on noisily ; but with the greatest 1 good humour. Leaving this field and its amusements for the adjoining one, the scene baffles description. A space, as large as Lincoln's Inn-fields has been laid out with great taste by Messrs. Peterson and Johnson, whose theatrical establishments—the Covent-garden and Drury lane of the place—arc the principal attractions. On the opposite is Hylton's large menagerie of wild beasts, with the wonderful performing elephant, an animal of colossal size. This sagacious creature, which appeared to be a great favourite with the visitors, had its patience severely tested. It exhibited great fondness for its keepers. Hylton's menagerie is the best thing at Stepney. Exhibitions of wax work, national curiosities, works of art, legerdemain, learned pigs, swings, ups-and-downs, puppet-shows, and posture masters, were to be seen in profusion in this field, and the noise of many bands of music playing against each oth( r, the sounding of gongs, the shouts of the people, and the bawling of showmen, was quite deafening. The scene was a most animated one. At night the fair was lighted by a jet of gas from the main of the Commercial Company's works, towering high above the people, and rendering every object distinctly visible. This light, projected by Mr. Peterson, contributed much to the safety and conve nience of the people. The number of persons who visited Stepney Fair during the (lay was not less than 200,000, and at nine o'clock there were at least 40,000 in and about the fair. The gambling tables were broken up in the morn ing by the police, and the owners dispersed. Two of them then retreated to a street near the London Hospital with their " over seven, under seven" tables. They were again routed, taken before Mr. Broderip, and committed to the I louse of Correction. The police of the IC division, under the direction of Mr. Maynard, the superintendent, and Inspectors Butt, Home, and Julian, performed their arduous duties to the satisfaction of every one. GREENWICIt FAIR.—The park, the town, and the hospital were as usual crowdcd with the holiday folks. Each place in turn was successively visited by the Lon doners, who went down in the steamers and per rail way, to forget toil and trouble amidst the amusements and attractions of the place. The park, owing to the recent heavy rains, was very damp, and did not boast of so many promenaders as usual ; but the fair was filled to overflow ; and Richardson'a Theatre, conducted by Nelson Lee and Johnson, performed an excellent melo drama and a pantomime twelve or thirteen times during the day, much to the satisfaction of the visitors. Alger's great Crown and Anchor booth, which exceeds in di mensions one of the same name at Stepney, was as usual the main attraction of the place. The trains of the Greenwich Railway were in requisition from an early hour, and took down upwards of 12,000 persons (luring the day. At night, when the people began to return, the station at the Greenwich terminus was thronged with people. The steamers also came in for a share of the harvest. The %Vatermun's Company, with eleven vessels running, carried the extraordinary number if 30,000 persons between the ‘Vatermen's,..issehl . phi Pier, Strand, and the Floating Pier at Garden stairs during the day. The old compAnies, with their nume rous steam-vessels, carried as many to and from the various piers. We did not hear of a single material accident. There was a fancy fair and barter in the Thames Tunnel yesterday, which is to be continued during the week. The stalls were neatly arranged with fancy goods, works of art, and decorated with flags, banne..s, and Chinese lanthorns. The shafts were also brilliantly illuminated with gas, and dressed out with the Hags of all nations. The cosmoraina and salo6n of arts in the Rotherhithe shaft, the temple of magic in the Wapping ,haft, the electrifying apparatus. and various exhibitions, afforded much delight to the v'trious promenaders under water. Fifteen th , usand passengers went through the Tunnel during the day. The Tower was visited by the curious in great num bers, and the armouries, or at least what remains of them, and the Crown jewels, are as attractive as ever. More than 8,000 passengers availed themselves of the cheap excursion trains to Dover and Brighton. The holiday was a general one among the working clams. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The attendance was thin, and business so flat, omitting many of the principal favourites altogether, as scarcely to deserve the quotations we have given. We are authorised to state that there will be no races at Ho° this year. DEATH OF ALEXANDER BLACKWOOD, ESQ.— We deeply regret to state that Mr. Alexander Blackwood died yesterday, at his house in Great Stuart-street. This event will be learnt with sincere sorrow by a numerous circle of truly attached friends, to whom the deceased was endeared by the manly sincerity, the warm cor diality, and genuine worth of his character. Much might he t roperly said of the excellent qualities and taleacs of Mr. Blackwood ; but we shall now simply observe that, as a member of the eminent house of IVilliam Blackwood and Sons, in %%Inch capacity he was known to the public, he tuliformly maintained the high position acquired by the habitual sagac'ty, enterprise, and integrity of his late distinguished father. We had hoped that a long career of use!ulness ael honour lay open,to him in conjunction with those who, tills ! can now only deplore the great loss they have sustaned in his early removal from amongst us.—Edinbu-gh Evening Pest. Mn. WALLACE, 111 - . P.—We regret to learn that the Honourable Member for Greenock became seriously un well last week, in Lond , ln, w hile attending his Parlia mentary duties, and that he has returned home to Kelly House. We hope the fresh air of that beautiful locality will soen restore him to his wonted health and vigour. We are afraid Mr. 'Wallace has been over-working him self in the House too early this session ; and certainly he has undergone more drudgery and fatigue than any of our ether Scotch Members.—SeteglVormers' Gazette. CO3MMITTEE-110031, STOCK EXCHANGE, MAnctt 19, 1845.—At a Meeting of the Committee fur General Pur poses, held this day, it was Resolved, " That the hours of business in the Stock Exchange be from -k-past ten to 1-past 3 o'clock, with the exception of Saturday, when the House will close at 2 o'clock ; and that the Com mittee will recognise no bargains that may not be done within those hours. The above to commence on the 26th inst." TIIE WILL OF THE EARL OF MORNINGTON.— Limited probate of the will, as far as relates to the pro perty in England and Wales, of the Right Hon. William Wellesley, Baron Maryborough, of the Unitea King dom of Gr. at Rritain and Ireland, and Earl of Morning ton in in Ireland, was granted on the 20th inst. to the Right Hon. Lord Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, K.C.8., and John Parkinson, of Lincoln's lan-fields, Esq., two of the executors. A power is reserved to the Right lion. Catherine Elizabeth Dowager Lady Mary borough, Countess of Mornington, to prove the will hereafter. His Lordship died on the 22d of February last, was formerly of Saville-row, and late of Grosvenor spare. The will is short, dated 23d April, 1844, signed, " Mornington." Personal estate within the province of Canterbury sworn under 100,0004 Directs that 2,0001. shall be immediately paid to the Countess, and leaves her all the plate and household furniture absolutely. Bequeaths several annuities to be paid out of the perso nal estate. Devises and bequeaths his freehold, copy hold, and leasehold estates, and the residue of his per sonal estate to trustees, Lord F. Somerset and Thomas Parkinson, to convert into money, and invest the same in funded securities ; the dividends and interest to be paid to the Countess for her life, and gives her a power of appointment over the principal to his three daughters, the Countess of Westmoreland, Lady Mary Charlotte Anne Bigot, aid Lady Fitzroy Somerset, in default of such appointment in trust fur his daughters. SCARCITY OF VEGETABLES.—WitiIin the last three weeks there his been experienced a greater accrcity of vegetables in the London markets, than has been known to have been the case for the last nine years past. This circumstance has arisen from the severe trusts, which, until within the last three days, has continued for up ward of three weeks. Parsnips which were being re tailed at this season last year, at from one penny to three halfpence a piece, are now selling at from twopence to fourpcnce. Carrots are proportionably dear, whilst turnips scarcely fit for use, are being told at sixpence a bui.ch. Greens of al! kinds are excessivdv scarce, and very indifferent samples are selling at high prices. Savoys, which at Christmas might be obtains d at one penny tech, are now fetching fourpenee, whilst brocoli sprouts and other coleys - oils are completely dried up by the late frosts. EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT AT LIVERPOOL.—At the Liverpool Police-office, on Wednesday last, a young man named William T. Munro, an apprentice to the ex tensive establishment of Sandbach, 'Fiume and Co., was brought up on a charge of having embtzzled various stuns of money to the amount of between 3001. and 4001. On being taken into custody the prisoner confessed to laying never accounted for the money, but stated that be had been robbed of it at the bat.k, And had never dared to confess it. He was fully committed for trial. LIST OP SCOTTISH COMPANIES' PRICES Dividend Amount Name of Company, per of Paid. Price. Annum. Share. £ e. d. .£ s. d.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAI. GLOBE.—" Pitt's Friends"—for that is the original title from which is derived the Apostolic succession of ortl:odox Conservative Ministerialism—Pitt's Friends, since Pitt's death, have' described the vi hole circle of opinions with regard to Irish Roman C a th o li c i sm , and now appear just arriving at the very point from which their leader first was prevented from starting. It seldom, however, happens that nearly a half cen tury can elapse—the intermediate space having (by Pitt's Friends) ' been filled with the bitterest contro versy)—and that the same course can be smoothly re entered, which might have smoothly been taken at first. When Pitt went out in 1801, because George the Third (the royal ear having secretly been pre-occupied by some lay and • some clerical alarmists) refused his sanction to the Roman Catholic measures he laid before him, as the implied promises, and essential con-iple meats of the union with Ireland—n o political Pro testant party existed amongst English politicians. That was an Irish growth ; and even such a• champion of things established as Burke had become latterly, was to the last adverse to the political Protestant pretexts of the Irish local Oligarchy. George the Third had the equivocal honour of creasing out of nothing (at least, salt of political nonentities) a party which assumed Pro• testantism as its w tell word )—and such became the party of" Pitt's Friends." It is curious and amusing to read, in the Diary of Lord Malmsbury, the expressions of indig ' nation of that '• Pitt's Friend," when Pitt first re signed, and to contrast that indignation at the closet-ear• wiggings which alarmed the royal mind, with his own subsequent eagerness to renew precisely the same sytem of intrigue, and work on prccisly the same royal weakness in 1807. The only difference a as, that Pitt was in ' trigurd out of c thee in 1801—and with him " Pitt's Friends;" whereas, in 1807, the point was to intrigue out of office the surviving members of the Fox and Gren ville Ministry—whereby " Pitt's Friends" would return to power. Apostolic succession is everything to political Protestantism. This doctrine sufficiently vindicates tie same party, in all its changing phases. For the point is not mere notional consistency —mere matter of opinion. The point is, whose opinio ns h ave t h e stamp of (*Beira orthodoxy—who can trace the unbroken links of succession from Pitt. • And of course these are " Pitt's Friends." While there was a " good old King," who fancied his crown in question, " Pitt's Friends" stood by him with devoted loyalty—loyalty devoted to places and pensions, a hich l'ercevals,, Westtnorelands, Vansit tarts, could scarcely havemerited otherwise. When an elderly Monarch succeeded, not so good, and not quite so obAinate, the junior partners of " Pitt's Friends" saw the expediency of forcing his hand a little. Times have gone en, still changing ; and " I'itt's Friends" have gone on, changing likewise. They have changed everything—except their claim to apostolic succession and Conservatise orthodoxy. A doubt may intrude on minds not theremghly imbued with political reli gion,. whether the course of this party, since the eanmencement of this century, has not been rather selfish and mischievous, as regards Irish Roman Cathoiciem. Whether politicians are quite at liberty to take God's reline in vain, whenever affectation of the highest motives can compass the lowest objects. And finally, whether diving into John Bull's p •ckets for, the endowment of a faith which John Bull thinks (justly in our- mind) deeply tinged with superstitions —is the aneende most decent and effectual to the holders of that faith for all the injustice which the personal in terests of " Pitt's Friends" inflicted on them civilly and politically. STAN DARD.—" We ought not to halloo before we are out of the wood," says the proverb ; but keeping the sage maxim still in view, we must at present anticipate a short, as the Ministers hitherto have had an easy, session of Parliament. The circumstances that ren dered. necessary an early consideration of financial questions, concurring with an unusually early Easter, have caused an anticipation of what has hitherto been not merely the dead weight of the Parlia mentary year's work, but also the means of inviting a multitude of other tedious discussions. In fact, looking back to former years, we find nearly the first half of every session consumed in debates upon the most trumpery questions, apparently because the House of Commons had nothing useful to do, and it must do something. Another cause of the probable dispatch of business in the present session is the universal consci ousness that the crambe recocta of anti-corn-law speeches, and the like, will no longer go down. The country is sick of such stuff, and moreover the country is prosperous and contented. The more prudent of the Whig party are well aware of this, and therefore they prudently court an obscurity which protects their mea sures from a contrast with the measures of the present Government. On the side of Government, we know of no measure that it has in contemplation which is likely to meet even a slight opposition, except the plan for the Irish colleges, and the enlargement of the Maynooth grant, 'and to these scarcely a formidable opposition can be anticipated. It is true that some of the men (Dis senters), most active in promoting the grant of power to the Irish Roman Catholics, are now clamorous against the adoption of the only means by which that power can be diverted from implacable hostility to Protestant institutions. But the very fact that these bitter enemies of the Established Church are foremost in the cry against the enlargement of the Maynooth grant will at least cause Churchmen to pause, and listen to the reasons which the Minister has to offer, before condemning the measure. As to principle, the principle of that measure has been for fifty years recognised, by the grant of nine thousand pounds a year. And let us add, a much worse principle has been introduced more recently in the ap pointment of Roman Catholic chaplains to prisons and work-houses. The battle, therefore, cannot be fought on the ground of principle ; and u p on a quest i on of mere expediency it is vain to pretend high grounds of objection. They . who think that the Irish Roman Catholic priests will be more obstinately bigotted, more bitterly hostile to England, if better educated, will do well to oppose the augmentationntation of th e grant. Th ey who hold the opposite opinion in both re'pects, to which number we confess ourselves to belong, will look with com placency upon an experiment, the worst effect of which will be, merely to throw away some money; for worse than it is the system of education among the Roman Catholic clergy cannot be ; while the accompanyin g establish ment of open colleges, of which the enlsrged grant to Maynooth is, perhaps, a n e cessary auxiliary, can pro duce nothing but unmixed good. T h i s is a subject, however, to which we must agai n re f er. Upon a fair view of mfthay o the prospects terminate speetsofthF sessi on , • t h ere i s n o reason why it in July or even in J une; an d this though many useful measures of legislature be com pleted in the interval—a most useful return to ancient practice. rt Erb Wbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock.

When the Chairman had concluded reading the above, he suggested that the Secretary should read his report, which he did. The substance of it was to the effect, that this meeting was called in order to carry out a better and more perfect organisation of the working classes than now existed ; and the object to be effected by this new and perfect organisation was, to enable the work ing classes to insure a better defence for themselves against oppressive monopolists and capitalists. This suggestion was made in consequence of the Committee feeling deeply impressed with the great necessity that existed for a good and clear understanding existing be tween the employer and the employed ; and in order to secure the latter from acts of injustice and oppression at the hands of the former. But great caution would be necessary to be exercised in the formation of the laws and rules, in order to avoid serious i takes made on nes former occasions. Every inducement was recommended to be held out to individuals belonging to tiler trades who had not yet joined, to do so, in order that all should make common cause ; and every support should be given to that portion of the public press that should give the fullest and most impartial reports of theproceedings of the meetings. The report conclude d by recommending a total abstinence from the discussion of political topics. The report was unanimously agreed to. Mr. WILSON, boot-maker, and member of the Com mittee, next addressed . the meeting. He said the Com mittee had instructed him to suggest that they conceived that the best line of proceeding fur this meeting to adopt, in the first instance, uould be to appcint a secretary ; and, in the second, to appoint a sub-Committee, through whom should come to the general Committee, arid thence to the meeting, all suggestions made by indi vidual representatives.—(Hear, hear) Every one in this meeting should admit the necessity for this line of proceeding from the knowledge they had of the past. — (Hear, hear.) It was also most dosirable that a good understanding should exist between the working classes and those upon whom they were dependent.—(llear, hear.) With these observations he would conclude by saying it afforded him great pleasure to move that Mr. Thomas Barrett be elected secretary. This proposition was also unanimously adopted, and Mr. BARRATT having returned thanks, The CHAIRMAN said he conceived that the suggestion of the Committee, that had come through Mr. Wilson, namely, to appoint a Committee in the first instance, was a wise and prudent course, and the one by a hich the trades were most likely to benefit their cause.—(Hear.) Mr. ROBSON, ladies' shoemaker, begged leave to be allowed to suggest that as a means of raising a discus sion by which to ascertain the feelings and opinions of the delegates now present, they should be called on tea say what suggestions they had to offer before the Com mittee be appointed.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RATRAY, calico-printer, Crayford, Kent, said he had been sent there not so much for the purpose of offer ing any suggestions, as to listen to those that should be offered by others ; but from what had already taken place, he would respectfully recommend that the admi rable address of their chairman should be printed and distributed amongst the members, for he conceived it contained the gistof all that they wanted for a beginning. —(Hear, hear.) He looked upon the address as an im portant public document, and if his suggestion should be adopted he would send some of them to Scotland and the North of England. He would suggest that 1,000 copies be printed, and that the report just read be printed with it, as had been suggested by a member. Mr. JONES, representative of the fustian cutters of Manchester, said, there appeared to him to be some differ ence of opinion as to whether the address should be printed or a discussion entered upon first. Now, he could not see why both could not be done at once and the same time.—(Hear, hear.) It appeared to ham that the one was not at all inconsistent with the other. The address contained many very valuable, practical suggestions, and, then efore, it could not be too extensively distributed amongst the trades.—(Hear.) Then, with regard to the course to be pursued in discussing sugges tions, he would recommend that an alphabetical list be made out of the representatives of the trades, and that the chairman should read out the names from that list, and, in doing so, should call upon the representative whom he named, to • state what were the views and opi nions of those whom he represented. The question was then put that 1,000 copies of the address be printed, which was agreed to. The CHAIRMAN said he then held in his hand a list similar to that mentioned by Mr. Jones, though it was not alphabetical, and he could easily go through it ; but he would, at the same time, say that it appeared to him to be the most useful course to appoint the committee at first. Whether that committee wars to be a select one, or " a committee of the whole house," as they said in Par liament—(A laugh)—would be for the meeting to deter mine •, but, if that committee should be appointed, they would have the address and report before them, and having taken both into consideration, then they could meet again, say to-morrow, or the next day, and that would appear to him to be the more fitting time to raiss the discussions alluded to.—(Hear, hear.) If that sug gestion met the approbation of the meeting, perhaps some member would propose it. Mr. ROBERTSON, bookbinder, had great pleasure in making the proposition ; and, in doing so, he begged to say he quite concurred in the views of the chairman. He was aware that there were in the room representatives from Bristol and other places who had suggestions to make, and if these were first made to the committee, when the committee brought up their report would be the time to raise a discussion upon it. Mr. DUNNING, bookbinder, begged to second the motion. lie conceived that this course would afford the Committee an opportunity of a'certaining how far the suggestions of the delegates, and those of the Chair man's address, and the report. could be carried out. As to the printing of the address, he believed there could be no second opinion upon that, and the fact of the print ing was an admission that it had been adopted. A DELEGATE suggested, that as the Chairman called the names, each delegate called should state what aas the number of the trade he represented, in order to ascertain the strength of each body. Mr. DUNNING, bookbinder, having then been called, said he represented 600, and they were of opinion that their discussions should keep clear of politics, except when the proceedings in Parliament compelled them to do so.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. REED, engine -maker, said that very little time had been allowed the trades to st lid representatives there, and therefore in calling over the nem( s of those now present, the number should not be taken as a criterion by which to jadge of the feeling that genet ally exi:ted amongst the trades in the country on the question that had caused this meeting to be convened.—(Hear, beer.) He knew many trades in the country that were not at all aware of this meeting, or they would have attended, and therefore this meeting could not be fairly called a meeting of the representatives of the trade in the country districts.—(Hcar, hear.) lie deemed it necessary to make these few observations in order that a contrary impression should not go fort hl to the world. A DELEGATE said he came from teheffield, and could say that but very few indeed of the trades there had heard of this meeting, and those only a few days ago ; and since that time be had been going round to the other trades, but had not been able to complete giving notice ; therefore if the names called out were to be presumed as the representatives of the locality he came from, there would be but a mere fraction of tee trades of those places represented.—(Hear.) There were three others with him here, and they represented about forty different tradea.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SPURR said he had come there as the represen tative of eight different trades in Huddersfield, but they bad heard nothing of this meeting, and could not there fore be expected to be present. Mr. BLAcKRURST from Sheffield said, that not one fifth of all the trades in combination had sent dele gates to the conference ; and he should object, presentt,there- there fore, to any detailed account of the delegates being given as if the representation were a fair and com plete one. He suggested that the reports of the various_ m d delegates be deferred till to-morrow; and that t he ti u m ss e in o g f eeting that afternoon should be occupied in men.. other preliminaries liecessary to this great move t Mr. RATTr.Ay, calico block printer, of Cray ford, in Kent, said it must be recollected that many delegal represented seversl trades, and were fully acquainted with all their views. Many persons would be este' nishe d, perhaps, to learn the eumbers actually repre' rented at the Conference.—(llear, hear.) After some further conversation, the motion for the appointment of a Committee, to consider how far it would be desirable to carry out the suggestions contained in the Chairman's speech was agreed to unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then precerded to re a d ove r the list of delegates, and, as the names were callLd over, the parties severally stated what body they represented.h l the Conference. Mr. JAMES stated that he represented six hundred shoemakers of the City of London ; Mr. Smith, of the west•end of Lew!, n, 700 ; Mr. Robson, ladies' shoe• makers, of the City of London, 200 ; Mr. S.
