In the Liverpool Provision Market, Beef remains very quiet, and the transactions for the week are unusually small ; in prices there is no further reduction, but holders generally are free sellers. Pork is neglected, and, though quotations are not reduced, some sales of Western are reported at easier rates, ex ship. Bacon is steady, and a fair consumptive business is reported at full prices, with deliveries in excess of imports. Hams in retail demand. Shoulders in fair request. Lard moves slowly, the refiners buy sparingly in the hope of a decline, but holders do not give way— in the finest qualities there is a fair country demand. At a farther decline of 4s to 6s per cwt.. there is rather more demand for Cheese. Butter, where fine, meets with ready buyers — middling and inferior nearly unsaleable. The Market for Tallow is steadier. Linseed Cake is neglected, though offered at a decline, of 6s to lOs per ton.- The Corn Market is slow this week, and the transactions of a very retail character. In Wheat prices have not varied, there being no pressure to sell ; Flour, however, barely supports last week's prices. Indian Corn, being offered at a further slight decline, has attracted some attention from Irish buyers, At to-day's market Wheat met with a shall con sumptive demand, at about last week's rates.

At the Liverpool Corn Market this morning the attendance was anything )rut numerous, and a very, limited inquiry was experienced, for Wheat of any description, which was in general held norattallY for the quotations of Tuesday, but where'sales were made beyond the nearest retail quantities, a concession of ld per cental was unavoidable. Flour moves slowly with the turn in favour of buyers. Beans are again 8d per quarter cheaper. Oats ld per bushel lower. Oatmeal nominally unchanged ; demand for each quite restricted. Indian Corn is much neglected to-day, but is not pressingly offered, though rather less money would be taken to promote business. A considerable weight of rain has fallen bin co our 'last, and the temperature has continued cold, but this morning it is much milder. The trade rules quiet tlxis-week at all the country markets; the valu e of Wheat i s , however, generally maintained, bat that of spring grain has an easier tendency.' The extent of •business here has also been limited in all articles, during the interval since Tuesday,' at the prices of that day, holders showing 'no Aisposition to give way, notwithstanding the existing inactivai of demand, our currencies, as regards Wheat, being now at a relatively moderate range. The foreign' imports of the past three • days comprise 2,920 quarters Baltic, 963 quarters Egyptian Wheat ; about 4,000 quarters American, Danubian, and Egyptian Indian Corn; and 5,838 sacks French Flour.

For Lisbon - and' Spanish Wools in the greae e the inq - uirkhas beenlimited. In Russian Wools, a little more animation. Egyptian Wools continue in fivour, and larger importations are much required. The high valn2 of English Wools is attracting supplies of Cana dian Fleeces to this market, and the first arrivals have realised satisfaCtory prices. A considerable amount of business has been done in Buenos Ayres and Monte Video Wools, at high prices ; the transactions have included nearly the whole of the recent imports, and we are again in 'Mint of fresh supplies. The market for Colonial Wools has assumed a much more favourable appearance since the date of our last report. The markets for the English and Irish new clips have opened at very high prices—the demands of staplers are, consequently, raised. The current quotations for bright-haired Wedders and Hoggs are 20d and 22d per lb. respectively for old or new Wools, but Wedders are scarcely so . free a sale as Hoggs at these rates. English Wools will, to all appear ance, be a short supply. Scotch remains without much change, although there is a better feeling, and, we believe, a better prospect for these Wools than for some time past. . - establiglunentkgenerally are now iri:hand; with a fair extent cit orders. Few vessel' are corls qtientlflieing built, speculatively, fey the market. The political "aspect of affairs seems the only circumstance interfering to prevent renewed activity in business.

MANCHESTER TRADE.—As there is little or no business going on in our market this week on account of the annual holiday, this pause may render acceptable the followiug statement of the decline in some of our leading productions, from the highest point of the current year up to Tuesday last, so far as the actual and the limited business of that day would afford a criterion. It may be observed that producers who are well engaged, and there are many of this class, declined to make any material concession from the highest rates obtained by thein this year. ,No attendance to-day. .Forty's mule Twist ruled* for export id per lb. ; thirty's throstle Twist, ditto, id per lb. ; twenty's. ditto, -7 ; d per lb. ; twenty-eight's throstle Warps, for export, I , cl per lb. ; thirty's pincop Weft, ditto, ld per lb.; thirty-two cop Twist, for home trade, id per lb. ; thirty-two's cop Weft, ditto, Id per lb. ; Shirtings for Eastern markets, tel per lb. ; Printers for ome trade, id per lb. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. In the LONDON STOCK MARKET this morning a fresh decline of I in Consols was quoted, but, partly owing to a pacific article in the ifonitrt4r a recovery took plane. As the Paris Bourse, how• ever, did not exhibit a corresponding improve menf, a relapse ensued on this side. The Funds closed at the following price% : Consols Money Account Exchequer Bills Bank Stock Three per Cents 4 I 0 30 Next Account The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday : The funds to-day wore decidedly heavy. Various adverse political rumours were freely circulated, and the Paris_ Bourse gave way. The English funds have accordingly fallen per cent., and closed at the lowest point. The other markets, likewise, closed with heavi ness. The discount market remains quiet : good bilh were taken for n to 4 per cent. At the Bank very little business done.—Daily Netvs. The English funds opened steadily, but were subse quently influenced by a large sale for money, together with a variety of political reports, the market closing at a decline of I per cent. There was a general rumour of the death of the Sultan of Turkey. It was also asserted that modifications of the Palmerston Cabinet may yet bo found necessary in connection with the recant vote of the Lords. At the Bank the applications for discount were on a moderate scale, but in the open market there was rather more demand. About 6,000 in gold was bought by the Bank. Most of the British railway stocks closed to ti per cent. lower.—Timcs. The LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day was dull and little business was transacted.

CUIRASS SHIRT, WHICH IS SO UNIVERSALLY APPROVED OF, It is understood that the" Committee of the Lower House, appointed to search for precedents .of the course taken by the House of Lords in respect to the paper duty, have found, and will report—" that there is no precedent strictly in point; that it is impossible by any legal quibble to explain away the legal right of the Peers to vote in the negative as well as in the affirmative on any bill that requires the assent of their House ; and that though, in practice, the House of Commons has for the last 200 years enjoyed the exclusive control of our financial arrangements, it has submitted - without protest to several tech nical infringements of its right to such control." This will be a great disappointment to the pro fessional agitators, who will thus be deprived of capital for declamation. We have laboured hard (says the Standard of yesterday) to discover the immediate purpose of Mr. Bright's speechifying in London and the provinces, but we confess that we are unable to discover it. The orator care fully abstains from committing himself to the recommendation of any course other than that adopted by Lord Palmerston, o 1 from anticipating the labours of the committee. At the same time he is evidently not quite easy in his mind as to the prospects of a pacific agreement between the two estates of the realm ; and the general tone of his speeches would lead us to infer that he is quite disposed to resist the decision of the com mittee if it should not quite agree with his own views.

The reply of the Chinese authorities to the ulti matum presented by the allied, powers was submitted to Parliament on Thursday evening, and exceeds in barbaric insolence any communi cation hitherto received from even the same source. Mr. Bruce, in a despatch to Lord John Russell, thus briefly recapitulates its contents :- 1. It refuses any apology or expression of regret for the treacherous conduct at the mouth of the Pciho last year. 2. It refuses permission to ascend the Tien-tsin river, and directs me to proceed, not to Pekin, bat to Peh=tang, there to await the exchange of rati fications ; stating that if I attempt to go by way of Taku, the officer in charge of the forts will be called on to act. 3. It refuses to restore the guns or ships aban doned at the mouth of the river, or to consider the payment of an indemnity. 4. It refers me authoritatively to the regula tions laid down for the reception of the American mission last year, appearing to hint at the same time that these may be in some degree modified in discussion with Ho. In the Concluding paragraph the Celestials give the barbarians a hint on courtesy and politeness. "The despatch written on this occasion (by the British Minister) is in much of its language too insubordinate and extravagant (for the council) to discuss its pfdpo3itions more than superficially (lit., to go deep into argument). Vor the future he must net be so wanting in decorum." It is, unfortunately, but too evident that where such a haughty and eonteniptous spirit is evinced, war is inevitable; and we can only hope that it will be prosecuted with vigour, and brought to a speedy and satisfactorY conclusion. We wish we could feel quite assured that in assuming such a defiant tone the Celestials have not been availing themselves of Russian advice and assistance. •In the course of his communication, Mr. Bruce significantly declares :—" As to the jnstification put forward of the proceedings of the Chinese Government last year, I must remark that it appears that the determination - to resist by ' force any attempt of the foreign missions to approach Pekin by the Peiho, had been communicated some months previously to the Russian Government. In the letters addressed to me and my colleagues by the commissioners at Shanghae, not a word was said of any such intention, and the same silence on this point was observed to 111 r. Ward in their personal intercourse with him." There are indeed grounds enough for the suspicion that in their advance, the allies will have to carry works and batteries planned, if not directed, by Russian engineers. Of their ultimate success, however, we may feel the utmost confidence. Sicily, clearly, is now lost to Naples. At Palermo, it appears, Garibaldi commenced opera tions on Sunday morning at four o'clock, and six hours of fighting left the people in possession of a great part of the city in spite of a fierce bom bardment. Hostilities, after having been sus pended for two hours, were then resumed, the people assailing the Royal Palace, Custom House, and other public buildings, which were occupied by the Neapolitans. Ultimately the Royal Palace, was attacked, and it was afterwards burned down. The troops appear to have retreated to the castle, which Garibaldi assaulted at noon on the following day, and we may infer, with success ;—so that the whole interior of the country, together with its most important city, have now been wrested from the royal authority. It is said that Garibaldi is organising a government as he goes along, and proceeding in his warlike expedition on the recognised principles of warfare. He is not a filiburter, but.a general under Victor Emmanuel. He levies -taxes in the name of the - King -of Sardinia-, -gad is supplied with money, provisions, stores, and horses. -The courts of law sit regularly, and distribute justice as-if the government of the country were set tled, though they adopt the Piedmontese code. Annexation -is thus being quietly effected; and the King of Italy, nolens volens, is created ruler of Sicily. He is one of those who* greatness thrust upon him ; but it is impossible to view without apprehension the serious complications which Garibaldi's success may involve. The King of Naples is naturally much alarmed ; and it is believed that, as a precantionarymeasure, he is removing, through the house of Rothschild, some of his treasure to Marseilles. It is also reported that, at Venice, a palace is being pre pared for the reception of his Majesty ; certainly, no secure refuge, for when the fla.mes of insurrec tion are lighted, it is not, always that their limits can be assigned. Louis Napoleon is amazed that•the world will not believe in his pacific intentions ; and the! Mon tear of yesterday protests . against the " malevolent suppositions and accusations" which have been occasioned by the annexation of Savoy and Nice. The Emperor, it alleges, hais made every effort to re-establish in Europe the confidence which has been shaken : his sole deSire is to live in peace with other sovereigns his allies, and to use all his endeavours to actively develop the resources of France. Yesterday the Emperor and Ernprees left Paris for Lyons,. with THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE Wiio shall dare to say that the Emperor of the French is not the friend of the people and' the imperial representative and vindicator of their sovereign will ? Has he not scorned every consideration of personal prudence, and dared every danger to the peace of the world, on the strength of the principle that the people, and the people alone, are the true arbitrators of the destinies of nations and their rulers ? Has he not himself invariably submitted unreservedly to their verdict, and shall he be sup posed unjust in maintaining the application of the same dogma to neighbouring states. If Kings and Princes who have inherited their crowns from a long line of ancEstors, choose to offend their subjects, is it a matter of Louis NAPOLEON'S Shall he be charged with rebel lion because he insists upon the rights of an offended peoplo to place themselves under the sway of a more liberal sceptre—such, for instance, as his own ? How can he help it ? It comes not by his will, but by that of the people' It may be a distasteful doctrine to tyrants and oppressors of nationalities, but is it not most natural and just to the mind of so disinterested a power as that which now governs the French nation ? The principle thus laid down may be a terror to wicked rulers, but it can only be a praise to those who do well by the masses. For instance, we all know how grossly ill-used the Irish have been under the House of Brunswick ; and how much more free and happy, they have sometimes thought, they might be under a Roman Catholic Sovereign —not to say Louis NAPOLEON' If a majority of the people of Ireland choose to declare, through the medium. of the ballot box, that they are resolved to make such a change of rulers, is not Queen VICTORIA botind to submit to their ver dict, and is not Louis NAPOLEON, as the original assertor of this great truth, equally bound to see that verdict implicitly carried into effect ? In like manner, in any and every country in Europe, may not_ the allegiance of the people become necessarily transferred to that model empire which now dazzles Europe by its freedom and power There seems only one difficulty in the way of such a dream of empire being thus realised. It may not be the will of the people of England either to become an outlying province of the French empire, or to allow the universal application of a principle so subversive of the balance of power in Europe. Is free and enlightened England, then, to become the avowed enemy of liberty and a dictator to the nations ? Has she been superseded by France as the great stronghold of Constitutional freedom ? Is she to come down from the elevated position she has occupied in Europe for many centuries ; and to throw away the torch of liberty she has held up, often single-handed, so long through dark and troublous ages ? Are the rights of the people no longer dear to her? Has pro gress and civilisation at last reversed their course, and begun to flow towards the rising, and not the setting sun ? Or shall we still believe that the sacred cause of freedom and the progressive _enfranchisement of the . intelligent people find their natural home in England? Is the sovereignty of the people, under the: inspiration of Louis NAPOLEON and his Government, a reality or only a cunningly-devised imposture, which is meant only to deceive those who are the true advocates of liberty, and to answer the purposes of those who heartily hate it above all things—an insult and affront to true freedom, and a crying outrage on the liberal sentiment of Europe ? The last, popular vote, as taken under the direction of the Empevor of France, we under take to prove was no better than a broad and bare-faced lie—a mere farce upon freedom, and, as such, demanding the fullest exposure at the hands of all who love truth and desire to promote the best interests of the people, not only of this but of every other 'country 'in turOpe: It is necessary to proclaim in every man's ear that LOVIS NAPOLEON, while professing to reign by the will of the people, is in reality one of the most thorough-paced despots the world ever saw. He secretly hates the name of liberty, and daily practises the worst, because the most cunning, absolutism. He has broken the most solemn oaths, disregarded binding treaties, patronised revolution, and sealed the exile of princes, under the cloak of liberty for the subject, but in `fact for no other end than to minister to his own ambi tious schemes, embracing the ultimate subjugation of Europe to his despotic sway. We have seen how he ran turn even universal suffrage and the ballot-box into weapons of tyranny and oppres sion. , How was a vote secured in Nice and Savoy in favour of France 2 The sympathies of the popu lations of Nice and Savoy had been already repeatedly manifested against annexation, when France demanded an all but unanimous vote in its favdur. Howthen was such an apparently impossi .ble task acoemplished ? In the first place, it was thought something might be gained by changing the appointed day of the vote, so as to prevent any efficient organisation among the refractory inhabitants of these provinces, and to this intent it was taken a week before the day originally fixed. If the asse-tion, that the people sv!r e opposed to-France, is called in question, e would_ all refer to the fact that they not only returned their deputies to the Sardinian Parliament upon the distinct understanding that they were to pro- test against any proposal for annexation, but upon the first occasion of French troops arriving in Nice from Italy, they were received by the people with marked disapprobation ; and we know, upon the authority of the most impartial eye-witnesses, that an actual collision occurred, in which French bayonets were turned against the townspeople. The Provisional Governor, however, acting under orders from head-quarters, proceeded by proclamation toinform his people that the whole matter had been settled by the King and the Em peror. " Therefore," reads the proclamation " the magnanimous Emperor NAPOLEON 111., and the loyal VICTOR EMMANUEL, hare desired the this treaty of cession should be strengthened (fortifie) by the popular adhesion." Again, "all opposition will find an insurmountable obstacle. ' * There is no longer any use in public demonstra tions." And again, a gentle but significant allu sion is made to the " firm but powerful will of the Emperor,"—thus scarcely concealing menaces which could not. fail to be understood by the citizens. The author of this proclamation, a lawyer by profession, was selected as a fit- ting and unscrupulous instrument to perform a duty which the regular governor had declined to do at the cost of sacrificing his post. Another prominent agent in forcing the vote of the people, was the very same gentleman who, only a few weeks before, had got up an address of thanks to those members 6f the House of Commons who had strenuously opposed the annexation. Another proclamation - from these accommodating agents describes annexation as affording a glorious prospect for Nice, while at the same time, with singular inconsistency, it is alluded to as a sacrifice made for the sake of Italy. Upon the whole, the strength of these proclama tions lay in an appeal to the pockets of the people, and something like an entire abnegation of patriotism. The Bishop also issued a proclama tion making it a case of conscience for any person to vote against French annexation. Public dis cussions and canvassing, except on the side of the government, were strictly prohibited. All the civil and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as all the employes and chefs d'ad»zinistration were plainly informed that their interest was required, and hopes of Imperial recompense were openly pro mised. £120,000 was spent in bribes, and on the days of voting the country voters were maintained at the cost of the government. Drinking booths kept free and open doors, and one inebriated voter deposited a bread order instead of his voting ticket in the ballot-box. In addition to all this the Sardinian troops were withdrawn, and their places supplied by French soldiers ; while two French war-steamers occupied berths in the harbour of Villafranca. Innumerable other proofs could be adduced of the pressure brought to bear on the population—but our space forbids. Although the voting was professedly secret, it was not so; for it was ordered "that the presi dent should receive the bulletin, and that the secretary should register the vote, while the, president placed the voting ticket in the urn." What wonder that the vote should be . nearly unanimous, although enly a few weeks previously tens of thousands of persons had signed a memorial against French annexation. Thus to make use of popular institutions as a mask behind which to hide a system of oppression and tyranny is only calculated to bring those institutions into contempt, and to cast immortal ridicule upon the French idea of the "sovereignty of the people." . 77 8 . 115 k 161 . . . 111 . . 1042-, . . . 1011 93t 52 113 - I ..i..

Our affairs is not co rres p on di ngly Our home trade still continues to afford the chief employment ,to screw-steamers of moderate ton nage ; an important portion of the larger class being occupied in the Mediterranean and Black Sea traffic which is somewhat active. Baltic freights underwent scarcely any change last month, and very few transient steamers- have been engaged in this trade since the season opened.

Several contracts have been concluded lately for new steamships to be built on the Thames and in the Nortb, and the building t time would soon heal up the wounds inflicted in the struggle ! There is, however, this fatal objection to such a mode of adjusting differences between capital and labour—that, after all, it would leave the root of the evil untouched, and insure only a heavier and bitterer crop of discon- tent and disaffection. The interests of employers and employes, are so far identical, that to injure the one, is to inflict a wrong on the other. The unequal triumph of either, is rain to both. Each have their just rights to be maintained,in order that either may prosper. Coercion employed ea either hand, can only end in mutual paralysis and yet both parties have too frequently shoWs an inclination to proceed to extremities for the enforcement of their several views. Than this tendency, nothing could more clearly prove that the grossest misconception prevails as to the true interests of the several disputants, and the real nature of the cause out of which the difficulty arises, as well as the easiest and safest—nap the only, remedy for the evil. Is it not the great end and aim of combination g among operatives to provide that every member; able and willing to work, shall not be thrown out' of employment by the competition of others wile' refuse to combine, or by any counter-corabins tion of employers to open the labour market? Is not the object of the workmen in itself ni O4 laudable ? Shall we say that men do wtik adopting any legitimate means for averting sd solemnly touching an event as that of being' thrown entirely out of regular employments pnless they submit to work for a pittance which is scarcely sufficient to keep soul and body ENGLAND. together ? Assuredly not. But mark the opera tion of the means they employ, and the rules 010' adopt. These means and rules have varied, and must vary, with circumstances. These variations have sometimes been in favour of the workers, sometimes in favour of the employers ; and the circumstances producing these alterations, hoe been the result of those continual changes on the face of scciety and trade generally, which make themselves irresistibly felt throughout every sphere of life. Amonz these, we might enumer ate new inventions ; the adoption of machinery political and financial changes, involving varia tions in the incidence of taxation; the expan sion or contraction of particular branches' of industry and commerce ; the increase of population and education ; the decrease of labour by - emigration ; and generally, such other alterations affecting trade as spring from the onward march of progress 23red tion. These and such like causes must continuo to modify the objects of trades unions, and the scope of their operations, as well as the speciflc, rules by which they are guided as to the rate of wages, the relative number of hands, hours Of labour, &c. It will be so ; because the irresistibl y moral force of the causes we have specified cm' never be controlled, to any material extent, by merely artificial combinations among either masters or men ; for all are subject to them, and must ulti mately, however gradually and insensibly, bow to their omnipotent influence. What then ? Thus far we presume we have ad• vaneed nothing that may not be readily admitted- What is to be the result of this general progress of events and consequent modification of trades unions ? Certainly not the triumph of capital at the expense of labour ; neither do we anticipate the unnatural supremacy of the employed over their employers. We look forward, however, to the time when the existence of such associa tions will no longer be required, and whoa such unseemly disputes as now breed mis chief between those who require to - ploy skilled labour, and those who so labour for a living will have died a natural death. When artisans, willing and able to earn an honest livelihood, shall easily dispense with such' artificial protection, fearless of ever be . mg out adequate employment, and when employers shall be left free to apply their capital as they choose, without dictation from a then defunct and obsolete organisation. An easy and a natural death, the result of years of progress, educations and enlightenment, is the worst and earliest fate we predicate for Trades Unions and Strikes. The process must and can be only a gradual one- Unions in themselves are, perhaps, the unavoid able effect of an existing evil, rather th* a producing cause. Remove the cause, 0 4 the effect will cease. Educate the peell ie properly—not in the superficial, surrstition s r and antiquated, fashion of byegone &V 5, but thoroughly, practically, and universallYr and the masses will learn to rely more on their. own abilities and resources, and never feet it' necessary or for their interests to depend 11P 0 P artificial helps called into existence in a ruder and less enlightened age.

REJECTION OF Tin: BRITISH ULTIMATOI BY THE CHINESE. Further parliamentary papers relating to China -.core presented to Parliament last night. The ultimatum demanded ample apology for the Peiho affair, and the' restoration of guns and ships abandoned on that occasion. The next demands were that the treaty of Tien-Tsin should be exchanged without delay at Pekin, and that the British Minister should be allowed to proceediin a British vessel up the river to Tien-Tsin, tr,he him with authorities to make provisions for cosy e „ hi "' third cLaim due honour from that city to Pekin. was for an indemnity of 4,ooo,oootaoefls t f h or e military expenses entailed b y the misconductauthorities.

It refuses to restore the guns or ships abandoned at the mouth of the river, or to con sider the payment of an indemnity, and gives instructio ns that before the British Plenipotentiary is allowed to proceed to the north, Commissioner Ho is to go over the Elgin Treaty and co ns id er w h a t warts of it are to s tand and what be eliminated or modified. There is one passaP which refers Mr. Bruce authoritatively to the regulations laid down for the reception of the American mission last year, but appears 4o contain a hint, at the sani I°e time, that these may be modified in discussion with I. These papers appear to destroy the last hope of an? amicable settlement of our differences with China. The Times, in a leader, enforces the necessityl e dealing firmly and severely with the Chine se ; but too step will have to be won by hard fighting.

STRIKES among workmen for an increase of wages or a decrease of the hours of labour, have long been a favourite subject for disquisition among newspaper writers, debating society orators, itinerant lecturers, mercenary demagogues, and ether equally disinterested and well qualified inculcators of political and social economy. We know few popular subjects of more vital impor tance to the community, or on which more has been written and spoken with so little practical good effect. If amid so great a heap of chaff there be hid a few grains of wheat, the difficulty of dis covering them is more than enough to cause any ordinary mind to shrink from the task in despair. ' In spite of the most learned parade of a species of logic intended to demonstrate their absurdity, the most eloquent descriptions of their ruinous consequences, the sagest harangues, and solemn exhortations, sprinkled with coaxing flatteries to seduce the simple,—in spite of alternat ing admonitions, threats, and wheedlings, the working classes still resolutely maintain the justifiableness of strikes as a last resort in defence of the rights of labour;, and practically prove the sincerity of their views, by braving the worst con sequences to themselves and their families, in the maintenance of this social " institution." The efforts of those interested in the suppression of strikes, have not been confined to moral suasion or cajolery. The law has been appealed to, but in vain ; for the highest authorities have pro claimed that combinations among workmen for the purpose of mutual regulation as to hours, wages, &c., are competent and allowable. More elaborate and rather less direct methods of frus trating the objects of the strikers—such as that of " the document" or declaration, among the London builders—have been equally fruitless ; or rather, we might say, have tended to aggravate instead of alleviating the evils arising from these unfortunate contests between labour and capital. " The Strike," then, is a great fact which is neither to be written nor spoken down ; out of which men will neither he bullied nor coaxed ; which the law permits ; and to which we must submit, so long as the British workman continues to be what he now is. In short, under present circumstances, strikes seem to be unavoidable. Be they the best or the worst things for those who produce them,—there they are, undeniable facts ; and what has been, may be again, until the producing cause shall he removed, and a better state of things superinduced. Are not strikes then a real evil, and as such ought they not to be got rid of by some process ? Has reason and law become powerless, and must we tamely submit to their infliction without an effort to convince and convert the working classes ; or if they will not listen to fair arguments, ought we not to tell them, at the point of the policeman's baton, that such things are not to be tolerated ; that if they will not peaceably walk into their workshops on the terms offered to them, they must be walked off to a cell to expiate their offence to society ? Or is the admitted evil to be cured by an opposite treatment ? Must capitalists, and employers of labour, become the slaves of those whom they feed and clothe, and gratefully accept the services of their einploy , ''s upon whatever terms the latter may condescend to be engaged ? If capital will not give way before the demands' of labour, must not the labourers, in the strength of their numbers, assert the supremter: of their muscles over th ose of their m hands and, taking the whole m atter into theiruoni v n , ersally, revolutionise society , and establish, shall a happy millenium in `wage e ver y man ' receive a fair day's asg afor whatever may, fair day's work ? by him, be consideredv cesses, by which physical force Either of these pro • b t be appl ied to cut the Gordian knot, would an apparent triumph to th e o nm doubt g ivt- asters or to the menthis were all, the contest need not be a lengthened one. If the question is one merely of might, we should say the sooner it is settled the better for all parties. What although it should involve a revolution, anarchy, and, for a time, general ruin ?
