AT a MEETING of MASTER TRADESMEN and CONTRACTORS, held at NEWTON-IN-THE-WI,LLOWS, on THURSDAY, the 7th May, 1846, and which was attended by 188 representatives from the towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Birkenhead, Sheffield, Bolton, Macclesfield, Leeds, Preston, Blackburn, 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 who are identified with the Building Trades, Contracts for Railways, and other Public Works, have now for the first time met together to consider the position in which they have been placed by the combinations of the workmen throughout the country. A deeply-rooted and wide-spread organization of trades now embraces the whole of the British Islands, and, by a change of circumstances, but 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 thecentral committee 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 individual 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 povver 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 had to submit to demands the most arbitrary. and humiliating. In some in stances the entire control and management of their business have been taken out of their hands, inflicting upon them 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 principle 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 enter 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 first 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 labonr 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—new inten 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 overwhelmed. 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 affordina• 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 easons of depression, over those workmen who ire 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 must 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. PAuzpiNo, of Manchester, seconded by Mr. Ki LPIN, of Liverpool, That the declaration now read be adopted.—Carried unani. mously. Moved by Mr. Tom KINSON, of Liverpool, seconded by Mr. aWYTII ER, of Birmingham, That the interference of the trades' unions with the legiti 'nde conduct of business—their attempt to raise wages—to dictate conditions which cannot be •acceded ta—to coerce those of the operative classes who nre 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 all 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 .bas now arrived when an association of the master tradesmen is imperativelyirequired, 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 afforded to every man in conducting his affairs.—Passed unanimously. Moved by Mr. WYLIE, of Liverpool, seconded by Mr. EDWA R DS, of Manchester:— That every member now present do sign the declaration which has been re a d, an d h e h ere b y 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 committee 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 powerto 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 which the association shall be governed.— Passed unanimously. Moved by Mr. IlouwE, of Liverpool, seconded by Mr. JOHN JonNsoN, of Liverpool:— That the following gentlemen be appointed for the purposes stated in the last resolution, with power to add to their number : Liverpool—Mr. Tomkinson, Mr. Samuel Holme, Mr. Kilpin, Mr. John Johnson.

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 his whole management, of relieving them from this very troublesome annoyance have far surpassed their expectation ; and that he 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 vent opportunity, as the stay of this' celebrated chiropo dist will be very limited.—See adv.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE... . (BY EXPRESS.) LONDON CORN EXCII NGE.-YESTERDAY. There has been a fair supply of Wheat from the neighbouring counties ' fresh up for this day's market, which met a heayy sale at a decline of 4s. to ss. per qr. from this day week, and some quantity remained unsold at the close. Bonded supports its late value, and sells in small parcels to millers, to releaseby certificates, which have declined to 9s. per qr., this being the means resorted to for procuring it free, the stock, with very • few exceptions, being cleared off. All descriptions of Barley must be written Is per quarter cheaper. Beans and white Peas maintain last week's rates; maple and grey the turn cheaper.

From our own crazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were tolerably extensive ; yet, as the attend.- mice of buyers was somewhat numerous. the ileef trade was. steady, at fully, but at nothing quo.able beyond, Friday's prices. The numbers of Sheep were by no means extensive : while the mutton trade was firm, and previous rates were well sup ported. From the Isle of Wight 500 lambs came to hand, while the lamb trade was steady, at our quotations. In calves and pigs—the suppl es of which were rather limited, exceedingly little business was done.

AN APOSTATE CHASTISED. In the House of Commons, on Friday evening, Lord G. Bentinck thus referred to some passag,s in a previous speech of Lord Lincoln :—_ _ _ _ "The Secretary at War had taunted them by saying, that notwithstanding the fears which were said to exist in reference to this change, there were no county meetings. He should have thought that, seated as the right hon. gentleman was by the side of his noble friend the Secre tary for Ireland, that ivould have been a delicate subject. (A laugh.) There was no man knew better than his noble, friend what were the views of the counties on this subject. There was everything in the character his noble friend to gain for him that respect and confidence which in pri vate life every man entertained for him ; and not only his private but his public life well entitled laim to be almost the master of Northamptonshire; and there was not 2 man in that county who was not prood to follow him. (bear.) But had there not been an election for South Nottinghamshire? (Hear.) Who gained that election? Was it not the tenant farmers? (Hear.) All the pei sonal regard felt in Nottinghamshire f, , r his noble friend, all the money spent in Nottinghamshire by his noble friend (' Hear, hear,' from the Earl of Lincoln) had been of no avail to him (*. Hear, hear,' from the Earl of Lin coln) He did not mean to charge his noble friend with bribers. (' Hear, hear,' from the Earl of Lincoln); but did the noble lord mean to deny that it was a most expensive election ? ('Hear, and a laugh.) "The Earl of Lincoln.— By the rules of the house I am not allowed to speak ; but 1 have a full answer to the noble lord. " Lord G. Bentinck resumed by dying 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, h-ar.) But did not every body know that every agent in Nottinghamshire was en. gaged for his noble friend? (Loud criei. of Hear'). Not . tingharnshire was taken by surprise ; hot, notwi•hstanding, the tenant-farmers of Nottinghamshire carried the county against his noble friend by a majority of GA or 700; and were they to have set against that maj , rity a majority of some 20 electors of Hamilton, who had swamped all the other burghs of the district? South Nottinghamshire bad pronounced its opinion. Had not North Nottingharnabire done the same, and Dorsetshire too ? Who was better en 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 Le had maintained his principles ? But Englishmen were ' true at heart—(hear)—and they hated tergiversation; they hated broken pledges; they aid not like to be betrayed; but when he recollected that his noble friend (the Earl of Lincoln), at the preceding election for Sou:h Nottingham shire, on the hustings at Newark, 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 humSug of a dying faction.' thegita agitated b t li h c e m p n b d i n n d i t t i c d til ? g t Vi t ' h as e m i t they cheap bread was a fallacy, a f rau d, an d a d e l us i on on the (Loud cries of ' hear, hear.') Was it the pr o t ec ti on i s t who prt who ad drilled h ad a 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 for 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.ccats at the beck of her Majesty's, Prime Minister. The people of England had that aver. sion to political vaccination and political inconsistency, or tergiversation that, as Burke, he tln it vas said, `They thought that a wan to he 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. only fit to show by his versatility the last shifting of the passing gale.'" (Great cheering ) The noble secretary's "full answer," coucbed in very passionate language, was merely a challenge to Lord George to try the experiment of an action against him for bribery. _ TUE STRIK E S IN ifIRMINGHAM.—There are now about three thousand men out on strike in Birmingham, with out the slightest prospect of a speedy and agreeable set tlement of differences. Since the present strikes com menced in Birmingham, it is calculated that the workmen have lost in wages £15,000. The public baths and wash.houses at Glasshouse-yard; near the London Docks, have been open about 11 months, for the use of the very poor; and thou g h th e accom modations there are so limited, that sometimes nearly 200 applicants have of necessity been refused admittance in the course of a single week, 25,123 persons have bathed, and 31,882 persons have washed 235,814 articles there during that period. different dock establishments in the port of Loudon on Thirty-seven vessels arrived in the river Thames and Friday. and reported at the Custom-house from different Texts 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 Wtst Indies ~and. different places in that distant quarter. IMPROVEMENTS.—We understand that the tenants or all the houses in Dale-street, from the corner of North 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 diiapidated, will he 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 and 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 a communication from her future lord and master, inform.. ing her—not that he bad bought the wedt!ing ring, or taken a house, or furnished it, or provided trinkets fog the happy occasion—these would have been only ordinary attentions, and oar swain was resolved to be more than ordinary in the nature of his preparations for the coming event and for its contingencies. Perhaps he had insured his life ? No, he hadn't. He had been more considerate. still. lie had enrolled his future wife in a burial club! EarnEZZLEMENT.—A respectably-dressed man, named Benjamin Martin, was yesterday charged before the ma 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 warehouseman, of Mr. Forshew, an estate agent, who has business premises in Frederick-street. Me. F. had occasional deal;ngs with Messrs. Etches and Wilson, of Prices-street, and had lately sold them some bay. On Thursday, the 7th instant, 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 higher company than he ought w have was the cause." The sum of £2 18s. was found upon and be had, on an apparently new suit of clothes. lie de-: Mined to say anything in the court, and was committed for trial at the sessions. Tisa WEATIIER.—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 lees way in vegetation occasioned by the cold of March and April, which last was marked by some rather unusual severities, Pith easterly wands. On Tuesday afternoon a heavy rain fell, and we have since bad a 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 course, accompanied by a westerly wind, which is always the most kindly for thi , crops on this island. On Sunday forenoon, a consider able fall of hail took place, but was only partial in extent.
