AT " MEE TING of MASTER TRADESMEN and CONTRACTORS, held at NEWTON-IN-TILE-WILLOWS, on TITURSDAY,IIie 7th May, 1846, and which was attended by 183. representatives from the towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Birkenhead, Sheffield, Bolton,- MaCclesfield, Leeds, PrestonAllackbnrn, Stockport, Wigan, and Bury, DAVID BELLHOUSE, Esq., in the Chair, • The following Declaration was read by Samuel Holme, Esq., of Liverpool:— The Master Tradesmen and others w e iffentified with the Building Trades, Contracts for • ways, and other Public Works, have now for the first time , et together to consider the position in whit% they have b placed by the combinations of the workmen throughout e country. A deeply-rooted and wide-spread organizatiq f trades now embraces the whole of the British Islands L attfl, by a change of circumstances, hut par ticularly by the repeal of the combination laws, employers are no longer permitted to conduct their business as before—are no longer able to make arrangements with 'their own workmen — but have to submit to the most arbitrary innovations, and the most dictatorial mandates of the central connikittee of the union Of trades. It is no longer possible to manage their affairs with comfort or advantage, nor to enter into any contract with •security. All good faith and sympathy between master and workman seems to have been destroyed, and instead of that identity of interest which was formerly recognised, workmen have been preju diced against their masters, and feelings have been engendered of a most painful nature to contemplate. Employers can no longer deal with their workmen in their indiv i dual capacity. The purchaser of labour cannot agree upon terms with those who have labour to dispose of; because another party arrogantly steps in, and possessing an organised power without any recognised responsibility, interferes between both parties, and dictates conditions which are as inimical to reason and justice, as they are in themselves cruel to the work man, and insulting to the master. This unjust interference, 'however, has been acceded to by the operative classes in many thousands of cases most unwillingly), but their tacit acquies cence has left them no longer free agents, and their employers have now to deal with men who are bound and fettered by the general union who support their 'demands by the weight of a well-organised association, while the employer has only his in dividual strength to sustain him in the conflict, where the odds are so fearfully against him. The result has been, that in many places rather than enter into a conflict with the unions, contractors have hail to submit to demands the most arbitrary and humiliating. In some in stances the entire control and managenient of their business have been taken out of their hands, inflicting upon theni heavy pecuniary losses, and in other cases involving contractors in absolute ruin ; and such has been the extent to which dictation has been carried, that firm and -unyielding resistance has be come a necessary duty, unless the order of things is to be in verted, and the employer become the slave and the tool of the workman, directed as the latter is by a secret and irresponsible tribunal which exists by forced contributions, which reigns by terror, and whose principles are repugnant to every notion of British liberty. " • _ The prineiiile is at once conceded that the operative classes have a legal right to combine to raise the price of labour; it is equally clear that it is also the right of those who have the right to purchase it, to combine to prevent that price being unjust, or more than they can afford to pay. An imperative necessity now exists, for all employers to cuter into an association for mutual support and protection, because it is dangerous for any man to enter into a large undertaking without having some guarantee that he may be secured against ruin by demands which the terms of his:contract prevent him from acceding to. This necessity is not of their seeking. It has been forced upon them by the trades' unions, and by the severance of those ties which formerly existed. In forming a, protective associa tion for employers, its Orst members desire to place on re cord their regret that such a resolution is necessary; but it is their solemn and deliberate opinion that no other mode exists by which they can successfully resist the demands of the trade clubs of the workmen. They desire to place on record the fact, that no attempt has been made by them to reduce wages, to in crease the hours of labour, or to abridge the privileges of the operative classes. On the contrary, wages have been advanced —the hours of labour have been lessened, and the workmen have their privileges increased, by the concession of minor points which only caused a pecuniary sacrifice on the part of masters. But new features have been exhibited—newinten tions disclosed. Flagrant acts have been deliberately commit ted, and painful as it is, the conclusion is most reluctantly forced on the employers that organization such as that which now exists-, can only be successfully met by counter-organiza tion,—that individual security can only be found in the asso ciation of bodies, because if an individual has to defend himself against a powerful combination, he must be overwhelthed. That tradesmen may continue to conduct their business with safety—that they may contract as usual for works both of a public and private nature—and that they may be able to fulfil those engagements into which they are required to enter—they have now met for the purpose of enrolling themselves in an as sociation, which it is intended to establish upon a broad and permanent foundation, and where every member may find that protection and security which is so, essential for the general welfare of society, as well as for his individual interest. _ _ The association is founded for self defence, and if it has to --- take up an aggressive position, it will be forced to do so by the acts of the operative unions, and under such circumstances, its members will be prepared to act in unison and with vigour. While the trades' unions make no unreasonable demands, this association will remain quiescent, but united. When those unions are dissolved, this also will expire; but while individual employers are interfered with, or particular localities selected for a strike, this association will be ready to act with prompt ness, and to take such determined steps as will bring strikes to a speedy termination. This association will always be found ready to give encou ragement and protection to those workmen who dissociate themselves from the trades' unions, or who refuse to join them, by affording to them. as much as possible, constant employ ment, by giving them the means of bettering their condition, in all cases giving them a preference in the winter season, or in seasons of depression, over those workmen who are the mem bers and supporters of clubs which are found in hostile array against the employers. Every master, tradesman, or contractor engaged in building or public works, is therefore invited to join the association, and to give in his adherence to its general principles. The rules by which it will be goVerned, the details which it insist necessarily embrace, and various other matters connected with it, will pro bably be better left to the committee of management which will have to be appointed. Moved by Mr. G. C. PAULDINO, of Manchester, seconded by Mr. Ki LPIN, of Liverpool, • That the declaration now read be . adopted.—Carried unani mously. Moved by 'Mr. TONIKINSON, of 'Liverpool, seconded by Mr. GwvTry Err, of Birmingham, That the, interference of the trades' unions with the /egiti mate conduct of husincsa—their attempt to raise wages—to dictate, conditions which cannot he acceded to—tO coerce those of the operative classes who arc unwilling to join them, and the bad feelings which they have excited between employers and workmen are all deserving of reprobation; and this meeting resolves that it will discountenance nil attempts which may be Made by any club to interfere between the buyer and seller of labour, and which this meeting asserts ought to be attended with perfect freedom to both parties.—Passed unanimously. Moved by Mr. MARSDEN, of Bolton, seconded by Mr. BOOTH- MAN, of Leeds:— That the time has now arrived when an association of the master tradesmen is hnperativelytrequiredi it being the opinion of this meeting the only way in which the unjust and unreason able demands of the trades' unions can be successfully com batted, and security be afforiled to every man in conducting his affairs.—Passed unanimously. Moved by Mr. WYLIE, of Liverpool, seconded by Mr. EDWARDS, of Manchester:— That. every member now present do sign the declaration which has been read, and he hereby pledges himself to assist in carrying out the objects of the association. Moved by Mr. WALKER, of Birkenhead, seconded by Mr. KAY, of Manchester : That a committ ee be now formed for the purpose of drawing up rules, and making all the arrangements for the extension and consolidation of the association, and that such committee shall have power to - appoint a seCretary, who - shall be a solicitor of standing in his profession, and to call in his aid in the forma tion of the laws by w hi c h th e association shall lie governed.— Passed nnanimou sly.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, it will be seen by a refe rence to our advertising columns, open for the season on Monday evening nest. We previously noticed the pro gress of the painting in commendatory terms; but as it draws towards completion, it far exceeds the anticipations sanguinely formed from the fame the artists have hitherto enjoyed ; but es we shall , notice it more in detail next week, we conclude by urging our readers to pay them a visit the first opportunity after the opening. WEEKLY STEAM MALLS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.—The government have entered into a furber contract with the British and North American Royal Mail Company, the effect of which is to secure a weekly communication by steam between Liverpool and the United States of Amer;ca.

CORNS.—We feel very much pleasure in adding our own testimony to Mr. Levi's proficiency as a chiropodist. He has extracted corns from many gentlemen in this town, and all whom he has operated upon state that the expedi tion, the freeness from pain, and Ills whole management, of relieving them from this very troublesome annoyance have far surpassed their expectation ; and that be may be considered as without a rival in his profession. It is, therefore, with the greatest confidence that we would rec mmend all suffering from corns to profit by the pre sent opportunity, as the stay of this celebrated chiropo dist will be very• limited.—See adv. THE ROYAL A &HI DIME ATRE.—A new piece, entitled " The Carpenter of Rouen." was produced for the first time at this theatre on Tuesday night. It possesses scenes of much interest, into a description of which our limited space precludes our entering. We may, however. do so at a future period. In the meantime, we cannot forbear expressing our approbation of the highly creditable manner in which Mr. Hudson Kirby, Mr. George 'Wild, Miss Williams, Miss Clara Bell, &c., enacted their respective parts. The Ethiopian minstrels continue favourites, as is testified by the plaudits with which they are received.

AN APOSTATE CHASTISED. In the House of Commons. on Friday evening, Lord G. Bentinck thus referred to somt passages in a previous speech of Lord Lincoln:— _ _ "The Secretary at War had taunfed them by saying,, that notwithstanding the fears which were said to exist is reference to this change, there were no county meetings. He should have thought that, seated as the right boa. gentleman was by the side of his noble friend the Seat= tarn for Ireland, that would have been a delicate subieen. (A.laugh.) There was nn man knew better than his noble frientl what were the views of the counties on this subject; There was everything in the character of his noble friend to gain for him that respect and confidence which in pri vate life every man entertained for him ; and not only hie private but his public life well entitled him to be almost the master of Northamptonshire; and there was - oot a man in that county who was not proud to follow him (l-,ear.) But had there not been an election for South Nottinghamshire? (Hear.) Who gained that election? Was it not the tenant farmers? (Hear.) All the per sonal regard felt in Nottinghamshire f r his noble friend, all the money spent in Nottinghamshire by his noble (rend (' Hear, hear,' from the Earl of Lincoln) had beeps of no avail to him (' Hear, hear,' from the Earl of Lie caln). He did not mean to charge his noble friend witL. bribery (' Hear, hear,' frnm the Earl of Lincoln); but dial the noble lord mean to deny that it was a most expensive election ? (' Hear,' and a laugh.) "The Earl of l3v the rules of the house / not allowed to speak ; but 1 have a full answer to the noble lord. " Lord G. Bentinck resumed by vying he had no doubt that the house would indulge his noble friend, and allow him to set himself right. He was sure the house would indulge his noble friend. ( Hear, hear.) But did not every-. body know that every agent in Nottinghamshire wee en gaged for his noble friend? (Lou" cries of Hear'). Not tinghamshire was taken by surprise ; but, notwithstanding, the tenant farmers of Nottinghamshire carried the county against his noble friend by a majority of GOO or 700; and were they to have set against that majarity a majority of some 20 electors of Hamilton, who had swamped all the. other burghs of the district ? South Nottinghamshire had pronounced its opinion. Had not North Nottinghamshire done the same, and Dorsetshire too? Who was better ea titled to a seat in the House of Commons than Lord Ash ' ley ? (hear) and who would have had a better claim to the ' suffrages of the people of Dorsetshire than the noble lord if he had maintained his principles ? But Englishmen were true at heart—(hear)—and they hated tergiversation ;they hated broken pledges; they did not like to be betrayed ; but when he recollected that his noble friend (the Earl of Lincoln), at the preceding election for South Nottingham shire, on the hustings at New,.rk, congratulated the elec.- tors of Nottinghamshire that they had 'refused to be ca joled by the latest fabrication from the workshop of Whig trickery and delusion'—(cries of hear, hear')—and said that ' he was glad for his country's sake that it was not the counties only that had rejected the cry of cheap bread, but that the cities and boroughs too had refused to be caught by the last fugitive humhug of a dying faction.' (Loud cries of 'hear, hear.') Was it the protecticrn:nt party who had agitated the public mind ? Was it they who bad drilled the public mind, and taught them that. cheap bread was a fallacy, a fraud, and a delusion on the country ? or was it surprising that Englishmen, having. stable minds, and having a regard for consistency, re pudiated the noble lord, and all those who resembled him ; that they refused to receive !or representatives those who • —he did not mean the term in an offensive sense, and he thought he might use it, as it was used at Falkirk—did not shrink to be turn-coa►s at the beck of her Majesty's Prime Minister. The people of England had that aver sion to political vaecillatiou and political immosistency, or tergiversation that, as Burke, be thought it „as said, ' They thought that a man to be fit to be the representative of a great constituency should be a man of stable mind,. (a laugh) fit to be a pillar of the state, and not, like the weathercock at the top of the edifice. ouly fit to show by his versatility the last shifting of the passing gale.' (Great cheering ) The noble secretary's "full answer," couched. in very passionate language, was merely a challenge to Lord George to try the experiment of an action against him for bribery.

Thirty-seven vessels arrived in the river Thames sad different dock establishments in the port of London ca Friday, and reported at the Custom-house from different parts of the globe, four of which were from China direct, with cargoes of teas, six from the East Indies of heavy tonnage, and several others from the West Indies :and' different places in that distant quarter. IMPROVEMENTS.—We understand that the tenants of all the houses in Dale-street, from the corner of Nortk. , John-street to Princes-street, are under notice to deliver up immediate possession; and that, on possession being given up, those premises, which are old and dilapidated, will be taken down, so far back as Mr. Rice's warehouse in North John-street, and that a magnificent suite of offices will be erected in their stead, for the use an 3 occu pation of the Royal Insurance Fire and Life Company. A very great improvement will thus be effected. VERY CONSIDERATE AND CONSOLING.—A young fe male upon the verge of Hymen received the other day communication from her future lord end master, inform ing her—not that he had bought the wedding ring, or taken a house, or furnished it, or provided trinkets for the happy occasion—these would have been only ordinary attentions, and our swain was resolved to be more thaa ordinary in the nature of his preparations for the coming event and for its , contingencies. Perhaps he had insured his life? No, be hadn't. He had been more considerate still. He had enrolled his future wife in a burial club! EMBEZZLEMENT.—A respectably-dressed matt,, named Benjamin Martin, was yesterday charged before the RI gistrates at the Police-court with embezzling the sum of £6 ss. 7d., the property of his employer. It appeared that the prisoner had for a considerable time been in the service, as warehruseman, &c., of Mr. Forshaw, an estate agent, who has business premises in Frederick-street.. Mr. F. had occasional denlings with Messrs. Etches and.. Wilson, of Prices-street. and had lately sold them some hay. Oa Thursday, the 7tl, ios ant, the prisoner called upon the latter gentlemen, and handed them an account for the same, purporting to be from his employer, and for the amount stated, which, as it was considered due,. , was immediately paid to him. The prisoner having after wards left his employment, the receipt of the money be coming known, and suspicion at the same time arising that he had gone to Manchester, Mr. Forshaw went there-. . on Friday last. and communicated with Inspector M'Mul lin, who eventually found him in a public-house in Great • Bridgewater-street. The prisoner, on being told the charge against him, with the usual caution, said that "keeping h'gher company than he ought to have was the cause." The sum of £2 18s. was found upon him, and he had on an apparently new suit of clothes. He de clined to say anything in the court, and was oimmitted for trial at the sessions. THE WEATHER.—During the past week, the weather - in this part of the country has been, on the whole, most ' seasonable and delightful, bringing up the previous lee way in vegetation occasioned by the cold of March and April, which last was marked by some rather unusual .. severities, with easterly winds. On Tuesday afternoon.-: a heavy rain fell, and we have since had u few occasional showers—all tending, with the intermediate and general sunshine, to promote the growth of every article of land produce, whether of the field or garden. The favourable change was, as a matter of ccurse, accompanied by n westerly wind, which is always the most kindly for the On Sunday forenoon, a consider-- they were very c a rank that forward, and loots N well.'i able fall of hail took place, but was only partial in extent crops on this island. The weather has since been extremely fine and shunt..

Th e spring corn is also very promisi ng ; an d we have seen some fine-locking potatoes. In the gardens, the blosscoa • el rg I h verdure. i n some i n:s 'e al er augurs a weighty return of fr nit. The grass in the hay fields was never, we think, more forward at this season. Even the tardy oak is putting forth its lenfy honours. ' We find that on Sunday forenoon a heavy hail-storm was ' experihreed at Windsor, Slimy, accompanied by thunder and lightning, and that a lady and gentlenian, who acre overt ken by the storm while riding in their phaeton. n-ar Wingfield, were thrown out end sey_tcAlv,Aiereiv- s - V e horse havi ng t a k en f r i, l t at t h e li t Alrsgrwllith r Yus • I extrenetly vivid arid alarn ig. ,- -- --'''': - i < •."
