A POPULAR HISTORY ADDRESSED TO THE WORKING CLASSES THEMSELVES PART FOURTH. CHAPTER FOURTH INGS OF THE LABOURING CLASSES.-LEGISLATIN ENACTMENTS RESPECTING THE REGULATION OF WAGES rs without destroying their simplicity. I agree with him, also, in believing that it is to the decline of this happy simplicity that the decline of this custom may be traced. Some attempts, indeed, have been made of late years, by men of both taste and learning, to rally back the popular feeling to those standards of primitive simplicity ; but the time, I fear, has gone by, the feeling has become chilled by habits of gain and traffic ; the country apes the manners and amusements of the town, and little now is heard of May-Day except from the lamentations of authors who sigh after it from among the brick walls of the city. One can readily imagine, says Washington Irving, what a gay scene it must have been in jolly old London, when the doors were decorated with flowering branches, when every hat was decked with hawthorn ; and Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, the Morris-dancers, and all the other fantastic masks and revellers were performing their antics about the May-pole in every part of the city. On this occasion, we are told, Robin Hood presided as Lord of the May,— With coat of Lincoln green, and mantle too, And horn of ivory mouth, and buckle bright, And arrows winged with peacock feathers light, And trusty bow well gathered of the yew ; whilst near him, crowned as Lady of the May, Maid Marian— With eyes of blue Shining through dark hair, like the stars of night, And habited in pretty forest plight, His greenwood beauty sits, young as the dew. And there, too, in a subsequent stage of the pageant, were The archer-men, in green, with belt and bow, Feastinl; on pheasants, river-fowl and swan, With Robin at their head, and Marian. It is in May, says a writer (1), " that spring is with us, once more pacing the earth in all the primal pomp of her beauty, with flowers, and soft airs, and the song of birds everywhere about her, and the blue sky and the bright clouds above." There is one thing, however, wanting to give that happy completeness to her advent which belonged to it in the olden times, and without which it is like a beautiful melody without words, or a beautiful flower without scent, or a beautiful face without a soul. The voice of man is no longer heard, hailing spring's approach as she hastens to bless him ; and his choral symphonies no longer meet and bless her in return—bless her by letting her behold and hear the happiness that she comes to create. The soft songs of women are no longer blended with her breath as it whispers among the new leaves ; their slender feet no longer trace her footsteps in the fields and woods and wayside copses, or dance delighted measures round the flowery offerings that she prompted their lovers to place before them on the village green. Even the little children them selves, that have an instinct for the spring, and feel it to the very tips of their fingers, are permitted to let May come upon them, without knowing from whence the impulse of happiness that they feel pro ceeds, or whither it tends. In short, it has been truthfully sung,— All the earth is gay ; Land and sea Give themselves up to jollity, And with the heart of May Doth every beast keep holiday : _ while man, man alone, lets the season come without glorying in it ; and when it goes, he lets it go without regret —as if all seasons and their change were alike to him • or, rather, as if he were the lord a all seasons, and they were to do homage and honour to him, instead of he to them ! How is this ? Is it that we have "sold our birth-right for a mess of pottage ?"—that we have bartered " our being's end and aim" for a purse of gold ? Alas ! thus it is : The world is too much with us ; late and soon Getting. and snond;Tic. nr. —.-„ .rituiug, we lay wast, Little we see in nature that is ours We have given our hearts away---Ordid boon But, be this as it may, we are still able to feel what nature is, though we have in a great measure ceased to know it. Though we have chosen to neglect her ordinances, and absent ourselves from her presence, we still tain some instinctive reminiscences of. her beauty and her power ; and every now and then the sordid walls of those mud hovels which we have befor e the magic touch of our involuntary fancies, and give us glimpses into that " imperial palace whence we came," and make us yearn to return thither, though it be but in thoualt Weddings, we al _so learn, were - really joyous affairs reign of Elizabeth - gay to a degree, even amongst the middle and working classes. Among other festivities a procession was held, in which the bride, in her best dress and ornaments, was led to church between two boys - wearin g bride laces and rosemary tied about their silken sleeves, while before her was carried a fair bride-cup of silver, filled with wine, in which was a large branch of rosemary, gilded, and hung about with silken ribbons of all colours. Musicians came next, and then a troop of maidens, some bearing great bride cakes, and other varlands of wheat finch- g ild e d • and thus they shed onwards to c h urch, amidst' the shouts and benedictions of the spectators. When a year and a a day had posed over, if they could swear that they had never repented their union in all that time, sl ee ping or waking, they might then deirssnedx,thoer flitch of bacon from Dunmow priori in Wichenowe in Staffordshire, for at both of these places was this curious law established ; and when the exp)anatory pair had taken the oath with due solemnity, they received the reward amidst the songs and acclamations of the crowd, and were dismissed 'with a popular ovation. It is somewhat (i) Mirror of the Konthe. WORKING. TEECLAS SES. RURAL FESTIVITIES DURING THE ELIZABETHAN AGE. -MODERN DECLINE OF THESE.-DIET AND DWELL It is pleasing to turn from those barbarous and degrading sports, which I adverted to in the previous chapter, to the notice of others of a more genial and innocent character. Conspicuous among these was the great rural festival of May Day—a festival which royalty itself even delighted in and cor porations patronised. At the dawn of May morning, we are told, the lads and lasses left their towns and villages, and repairing to the woodlands, by sound of music, they gathered the May, or blos somed branches of the trees, and bound them with wreaths of flowers. Then returning to their homes by sunrise, they decorated the lattices and doors with the sweet-smelling spoil of their joyous journey, and spent the remaining hours in sports and pastimes. These, for the most part, consisted in dancing round the May-pole, which was placed in a convenient part of the village, where it stood conse crated to the Goddess of Flowers for the whole circle of the year. An old writer thus describes the bringing of the May-pole home :—" Th ey h ave twentie or fourtie yoke of oxen, every oxen bearing a sweet nosegaye of flowers tyed on the tippe of his horns, and these oxen draw home the May-pole, which is covered all over with flowers bounde rounde about with stringes, from the top to the bottom, and sometimes painted with variable colours, with two or three hundred men, women, and children, following it with great devotion. And thus being reared up, with handkerchiefs and flags streaming on the top, they straw the ground about, binde green boughs about it, sett up summer-halls, bowers, and arbours, hard by it ; and then fall they to banquet and feast, to leap and dance about it, as the heathen people did at the dedication of their idols, whereof this is a perfect pattern, or rather the thing itself." Such is the description given by Stubbs of a festival that has now nearly become obselete, and for which my own regrets extend more at its discontinuance than any of the others of ancient character. Like Washington Irving, I value every custom that tends to infuse pure poetical feeling into the people, and to sweeten and to soften rustic man THE NORTHERN TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 16 1859 singular, however, to be obliged to add, that not withstanding the antiquity of the bequest, and the notorious love of the English lot good bacon, the flitch was very seldom claimed. (2) The diet of the people at this period does not appear to have greatly differed from the present. In cities, meat entered into the general consumption of the inhabitants. But the food of agricultural labourers was of an inferior kind. The substantial diet, in fact, for which the sixteenth century is renowned, was limited to the tables of persons of rank. A maid of honour, of Queen Elizabeth's Court, perhaps breakfasted on beef-stakes; but the plough man was compelled to regale himself ou barley or rye bread and water-gruel. Their attire, too, was of the most humble description. " Husbandmen," says Moryson, " wore garments of coarse cloth made at .home, and their wives wore gowns of the same cloth, kirtles of some light stuff, with linen aprons, and cover their heads with a linen coyfe and a felt hat, and in general their linen is coarse and made at home." Nor were the dwellings of the working classes much improved upon those of a former period ; and there is no room to doubt th a t t h e frequent visitations of sickness at this time may be ascribed in a very great measure to the defective character of the buildings. In the remote parts of the country, where timber was scarce and building expensive, the ancient practice—and modern one too, I may also observe, as in Ireland—of uniting the house, offices and stables, all under one roof, was by no means obsolete. I cannot more appropriately conclude this chapter than by one or two remarks on the general tendency of the system under which the Legislature endea voured to regulate the labouring class prior to the introduction of the great and final act of Elizabeth in 1601. Experience is a valuable instructor, and we derive an important advantage from the history of the poor, in the light it throws on the tendency of suggestions often made for bettering the condition. For nearly two centuries the price of labour was fixed by proclamation. The injurious, if not futile tendency of this interference hardly needs demon ' stration. The price of labour, like that of other commodities, is best determined by the proportion between the supply and demand; and it cannot, with advantage, either to workman or employer, be regu lated by any other principle. If the profits of the master are great, his capital will augment—he will be enabled to employ more labourers, and, the com petition being increased, the rate of wages will rise. If, on the other hand, profits decline, the fund for paying wages will decline also, and the re muneration of the labourer will be abated. But how, in either case, could the Legislature fix either a minimum or a maximum of wages ? To compel a master to give higher wages than he could afford and. would be voluntarily disposed to give, must necessarily tend to his impoverishment and to destroy his branch of trade ; and to compel him to give lower, under similar circumstances, would, besides unnecessarily depressing the workmen, tend to keep back the supply of labour adequate to the demand. These are the consequences which would ensue, supposing the interference of the legislature efficient. But the fact is, it would be nugatory. Nothing could prevent the master giving, nor the workman taking, whatever rate of wages suited their re spective interests, and all coercive provisions to enforce a contrary conduct would be easily evaded.

The Paris correspondent of the Times, writing on Friday night, says :—" We were yesterday, it was believed, within a few hours of a declaration of war by Austria, owing to the prevarication of the Im perial Government of France on the question of a general disarmament, its only object being to gain time. England asked for an immediate answer on this point, and France pleaded that it could not exer cise its influence with Sardinia to enforce compliance. Austria then declared that if an answer were not got in a given time, she would consider it equivalent to a declaration, would act instantly, and would pro bably be at Turin in ten days. The French Govern ment saw that the terrible responsibility of a general war would fall upon them alone. It was felt Russia could not be relied on, and that France would not have the sympathy of any government except Pied mont. The French Government is now supposed to have given way, and agreed to disarmament pre vious to the Congsess, the meeting of which the Moniteur is expected to announce in a few days. The Vienna correspondent of the Times states that the Austrian Government will be satisfied if the Moniteur will inform the world that the first step taken by the Congress will be to make arrangements for placing the armies of Sardinia, and Austria, and France, on the usual peace footing. Austria wishes merely to give the mediating powers another proof of her moderation and wish to avoid war. GERMANY. The visit of the Austrian Archduke to Berlin is .said to be for the purpose of inducing Prussia to come to a positive engagement on the mobilization of the Federal Army. PRUSSIA. It is announced, though not yet officially, that the Prussian Government intends to contract a loan of 50,000,000, to provide for military eventualities. SARDINIA. The Turin correspondent of the Times says there are grounds that the Azeglio mission has no relation to the question of the Congress. _ THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Paris correspondent of the Herald points out how consistent the conduct of the Emperor Napoleon has been—he means to see this question settled in his own way ; unless Austria concedes this the war cannot be avoided, whether the Congress meets or not. ATTACK ON THE MASTER OF THE WATER FORD STEAMER MARS, ON THE HIGH SEAS. This morning, at the Police-court, before Mr. Preston, five men, named John Hutchinson, John Sheehan, David Heron, John Murphy, and Patrick O'Grady, were brought up by officer 294, for having violently assaulted Captain Byrnes, of the steamer Mars, plying between this port and Waterford. Mr. Cobb appeared for the prisoners. The case caused some interest. The captain said : We left Waterford yesterday, and about five o'clock we were passing between the mainland and Tuskar, a very critical place to navigate, and the ship was In a critical and important position, and I was very anx i ous a b out h er position and the safety of the ship. The prisoners were in the galley, where they had no right to be, and the boy was calling them to go out, but they refused. and t" aen the boy called me to put them out. I went forward and told them go out. All went except Heron, who would not go out, and, after some altercation, I took him by the coat to put him out; the coat tore, when Hutchinson took off his coat to fight me. The five men then attacked me, and I was obliged to call my hands to my assistance. The prisoners struck me on the hack of the head, and attacked me right and left on all sides ; they kicked me on the legs, cut my nose, and otherwise ill-used me. Only for my crew, and some Italian passengers, the affair would have been much worse, as the ship was in a dangerous position, and if I had been prevented from attending to my duty, she might have been lost, and all along with her. Cross-examined by Mr. Cobb : The stewardess sells drink on board, and there is a license to do so, but it is not sold in the galley; she was not in the galley at the time. I took the man by the coat, and pulled him out, and tore his coat. Mr. Cobb : Then don't you think that you deserve what you got, for treating the man that way ? Let the Magistrate decide that point. Mr. Cobb said his clients were sailors, but were passengers by the ship, and they denied having struck the captain. He asked the captain if the men were not put down amongst the beasts on board. The captain said they were steerage passengers, but were not put amongst cattle, as there was a house for steerage passengers in the ship. The s hip was, o f course, under the Boa r d of Trade inspection. John Power, the cabin boy, said : All the prisoners rushed into the galley, against my will. I complained to the captain, and he came and ordered them out. All but Heron went out ; and, after some time, the captain, as he would not go out, caught him by the coat and pulled him out. The captain then was going aft, when the five rushed after him, and Hutchison struck him. All the rest rushed round him, and then I went into the galley, as the sail ors came to the captain ' s assistance. Mr. Cobb cross-examined the lad, who is a very intelligent little fellow, and he said the men said they wanted to warm themselves. Heron had had some drink, but he knew what he was doing. He was the only one who would not leave the galley. The captain tore his coat, but it was in consequence of the weakness of the cloth. (Laughter.) The carpenter of the ship proved that he went to the assistance of the captain, who was being attacked by the prisoners, when he was knocked down by O'Grady. He saw Hutchinson strike the captain at the cabin door. To Mr. Cobb : He said there were five-and-twenty or thirty of them altogether. The prisoners were the ringleaders. The quartermaster of the ..hip was examined. He said he was called up and informed that a lot of fellows were beating the captain, and going to take eharge of the vessel. He saw the whole of the five prisoners striking at the captain, and he was afraid they would use their knives. Mr. Cobb : Did you see any knife ? No. Did you see them all strike the captain ? I did, every one of them ; but he defended himself, and were it not for some Italian passengers the case would have been very bad. The captain was again called, and he said he got a poker to defeni himself, for had he been prevented from attending to the ship, she would have gone ashore in two minutes after, so it was necessary for the safety of life and the ship that he should attend to the vessel, and protect himself against the attack. An Italian who was a passenger corroborated th e genera l statement of the assault, an d eaid he saw all the prisoners strike the captain. One of the crew of the ship proved the attack on the captain by the prisoners, and said he saw Sheehan strike at the captain. They had him between the rail ing and themselves. Mr. Cobb then addressed the Bench, and said that in law the captain had commenced the assault by his own account. lie called Charles Cavannagh for the defence, who said : The captain called them a d-- lot, and struck Hutchinson in the eye first. The captain used more force to Heron than was necessary. Mr. Preston said; the captains of coasting vessels had a very difficult duty to perform ; and here was a case that, if proper order and discipline were not observed, the vessel might have gone ashore in two minutes. He went through the evidence, and said the captain had acted most properly, and he was resolved to protect captains from violence, as they had an important duty to perform. He thought Hutchinson the worst of the lot, and he would fine him £5 or two months, and the others £1 or one month each. BOROUGH HOP MARKET.---APRIL 16. Fine hops of last year growth sell steadily.

LIVERPOOL, Friday Evening, The sales of Cotton to-day amount to 7,000 bales, and comprise 1,000 taken for speculation and export. Prices for low American must be quoted fully 4-d. per lb lower than on this day week. Messrs. Wright, jun., and Co., in their circular, give the following report of the market for the week : At the date of our last circular advices, per Arabia, our market closed steadily, with free offerings. The accounts per Asia were to hand on Monday morning, and were cal culated to impart additional strength to holders, and encou rage enlarged transactions, but were neutralised in effect by exciting warlike news from the Continent, where a con flict between the contending powers seemed imminent. Although these have since modified in their language, the attitude of affairs still excites feelings of anxiety, and the future is as uncertain as at any previous period, which en genders a cautious action amongst all classes, and we have since relapsed into a quiescent state.. In meeting the inquiry with ample selection, there has been no pressure to realise, but last week's rates are barely . maintained ; and, with a curtailed inquiry, progress is not satis factory, which feature is likely to be more ap parent when the import is swelled by the arrival of vessels detained, and by last reports were being released, from the bar of New Orleans. Consumption con tinues on its largest scale without any indication of a check, although such would undoubtedly result, if an European war interfered. This avoided, and there is every prospect of our requirements being fully equal to supplies, large as they promise to be, both from America and the East. Money matters have a tightening aspect, the arrivals of the precious metals being inadequate to replace the exports, and causing a less favourable weekly Bank return. Additional loans also induce this impression. To-day's market closes very quietly, at prices within the range of quotations, which are reduced 1-16 d t o 4cl per lb. from last Friday's rates, and offerings largely in excess of the demand. The estimated sales are 7,000 bales, 1,000 to speculators and exporters. The total sales of the week, including what has been forwarded from the s hip' s s id e, amount to 43,320 bales, of which 32,940 are American. Speculators have taken 3,190, and exporters 5,630, leaving 34,500 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for the same time is 77,563 bales, of which 61,253 are American. The quantity known to be at sea from American pc-As is about 203,000 bales. PRICES TO-DAY : - New Orleans Fair, 8 d... .

The General Produce Markets have been mode rately active throughout the week. Ashes are moderately taken at 30s 6d to 31s Pots, and 31s to 31s 6d Pearls, per cwt. Bark is steady at last quotations. Bees' Wax is firmly held at £9 2s 6d to £9 5s per cwt. The sales of Cloverseed amount to about 300 bags at 525. to 55s per cwt. Timothy seed commands 30s to 32s per cwt, with . sales of 100 bags. Small transactions have taken place in Lard at about 58s per cwt. Linseed Cake is dull at £9 per ton for thin oblong. In Rice, business is limited to 50 tierces at 22s to 24s 6d per cwt, for good to fine quality, About 2,000 barrels Rosin, chiefly common, have changed hands at 4s 3d to 4s 6d per cwt ; the better qualities are firmer at last quotations. Tallow is firmer at 54s to 55s per cwt, with only a restricted inquiry. Turpentine has been sold at 41s to 41s 6d per cwt, for Spirits, to the extent of 300 barrels. No transactions reported in rough. The Manchester Goods Market continues very quiet, the Continental houses still showing great indisposition to operate, and but few new orders being given out for the Eastern markets. The re cent Indian advices are favourably considered, and will, it is expected, lead to a revival, and further orders. The London Stock Market has been quite feverish to-day. The decline which took place on the Paris Bourse yesterday, coupled with the tenor of the telegra phic accounts from thence, which have been received to-day, has revived the uneasy feeling which reigned so predominant a few days since. Consols opened heavily at the closing prices yesterday, but declined fully a quarter per cent by about mid-day. Subse quently they rallied a little, and finally closed as follow :-Consols for Money, 944, 95 ; do. Account, 95, 951 ; Three per Cents, 931, 933 ; Bank Stock, 223, 225 ; Exchequer Bills, large and small, 33, 34 pm. The London Share Market has been flat, and the amount of business done has been very small. Prices have shown a lowering tendency, and I finally closed at the following quotations : . ..kmbergate, sy, 61 ; Caledonian, 80, 801 ; Ditto Preference, 99, 101 ; Eastern Counties, 57*, 581 ; East Lancashire, 91, 92 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 72, 73 ; Great Northern, 1001, 1011 ; Ditto A, 85, 87 ; Ditto B, 131, 133 ; Great Western, 571, 58 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 921, 931 ; Brighton, 111, 112; North-Western, 931, 94 ; South-Western, 904, 911 ; Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire, 381, 381 ; Midland, 1004, 1011 ; North British, 56, 561 ; Ditto Preference, 107, 109 ; North Eastern—Berwick, 89, 90 ; Ditto Leeds, 451, 461 ; Ditto York, 74, 75 ; North Staf ford, 41, 41 ; South Eastern, 681, 681; Turkish Sixes, 87, 871 ; Ditto Fours, 1021, 10217 Great Western of Canada, 154, 151 ; Ditto New, 51, 4y ; Grand Trunk of Canada, 81, 84. It appears that the Russian Imperial ukase, authorising the negotiation of the loan of 12,000,0001. in a three per cent. stock, has arrived in this country, audit is therefore presumed that the arrangements for subscriptions will at once be organised. The trans action could scarcely have been entered upon at a less favourable period, and notwithstanding, it is believed, that only a limited proportion of the entire amount will be drawn from this country, still the preference must be given to the Indian loan of 7,000,0001. The credit of Russia, well supported as it is, will not avail in the face of the heavy require ments of the Bengal treasury. Capital, therefore, should not be diverted to other channels, particu larly since an additional 3,000,0001. or 5,000,0001. may have to be raised on Indian account before the Twelve ran MALTON RACES.- LANGTON STAKES YESTERDAY RUNT CUP Pedlar Harmony Six ran GREAT OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.—YESTEItDAY.

The Oxford crew took the lead, and maintained it throughout the race, although severely an d closely pressed by the Cantabs, and up to Hammersmith bridge it was a most exciting race, the Oxford crew being only a boat or so in advance, fate and the windy state of the weather were, however, against the Cambridge crew, as, nearing Barnes-bridge, a sudden squall took the boat on the starboard-side and upset it. No accident beyond a watery immersion took place, but the Cambridge were thus entirely thrown out of the race. The Oxford crew are therefore this year the victors. LONDON GAZETTE. BANKRUPTS. Win.

There were no transactions in Russian Five per Cents. yesterday afternoon ; busi ness was concluded in the Four and a Half per Cents. at 991 and 991, exhibiting little variation. The buoyancy lately observable in the Stock Exchange has totally disappeared, owing to the prolongation of the political crisis, which has also led to an important fall on the Paris Bourse, notwithstanding an impression that ministers will to-morrow night make some hopeful state ment relative to the still pending negotiations. Consols closed heavy, at a reduction of about 4 per cent. The Railway Share Market is weaker. In the Discount Market it is only in exceptional cases that transactions take place below the Bank rate. There were no gold operations at the Bank to-day. The £117,000 in gold by the Royal Bride has been taken for the Continent.—Daily News' City Article, Thursday Eveniny. The English Funds opened steadily this morning, and remained without material alteration until the arrival of the early prices from Paris, when the market became heavy. As a favourable sympton of the day, it was reported that the French Government are not even yet ready to enter upon a campaign, and that it will require till the middle of August fully to complete all the formidable plans that have been conceived. Some persons, however, who lo o k up o n this as involving to Europe the cost of four additional months of preparation, refuse to regard it as of a tranquil ising character, Among adverse operations, the principal topics were the continued withdrawal of troops from Algeria and the contingencies to be apprehended after the death of the Bing of Naples.—Times City Article, Thurs day Eveniny. The London colonial wool sales are fixed to commence on Thursday the 28th inst. The Daily News says that at the public sales of tea, on Thursday, the tendency of prices was again upwards. A telegram in town from Bombay, four days later, states that the alteration in the customs' duties decided upon at Calcutta had already been put in force in that presidency. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS —The Midland shews, this week, an increase of £4,526 ; the Lancashire and York shire, an increase of £2,449 ; the East Lancashire, an increase of £853 ; and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lin colnshire, an increase of £2,157, •• A new project is announced under the title of the Mercantile Discount Company (limited), with a proposed capital of £200,000, in four thousand shares. Particular attention is to be given to the discounting of trade bills. It is proposed to establish agencies in Liverpool and Manchester. The ukase for the proposed Russian loan of £12,000,000 3 per cent has reached London, 'and the subscription lists are expected to be opened in about ten days. The -price is not yet fixed, but 681 to 69 is reported as likely to be asked. With the strong conviction on every mind that before the lapse of another year a war may be witnessed that will more or less involve all the leading powers, it is difficult to admit the idea of such a loan being floated.

At very full prices there is again a large business in beef, the sales for the week exceeding 2,000 tierces, of which 1.000 tierces (last year's) were taken on speculation. In pork there is also a fair extent of business at extreme rates. There is a better demand for bacon, but nothing like acti vity, Irish and home-cured being still very abundant. Lard remains in the same depressed position, but during the last day or two there have been more inquiries, which may soon lead to a revived demand. Cheese in retail demand only, and it requires a choice article to bring the highest quota tion. Tallow is 6d dearer, but the market is scarcely so active as in the early part of the week. Linseed cake is very quiet, the season being about over.
