MANCHESTER, Dec. 6.

At Burnley the operatives who have resumed em-
ployment on 40 hours per week at the old rates, continue
steadily at work. Only one or two of the smaller establish-
meats have found any difficulty, but with these there was a
disposition on the part of the hands to tyrannise. At the larger
mills they complied with the requirements of the Masters'
Association to present themselves at the counting-houses
separately to be meager& but to the smaller mills they
wont In a body. One employer, to whom his old heath
lteat in a body, refused to receive them on the Monday
Ongoing, bet they presented themselves at nom in
elm same way, and again at morning and noon of
the following days, to receive the same answer.
To this master some of the workpeopie uttered
a elution, saying that labourers were seam, and if
he did not act with discretion, be would find all tee other
NMI fully manned, and hie own left to stand ilk for
senate( weavers. Urged to exertion by this Naiad the
maim eased out new hands in place of hie *M a% and
uses se snassestal, that when the old ones again peenetei
themeless In a body he was able to tell them there woe
only tread for a portion of their number, and that thole
who made the earliest application would have the 'sear
aim The persistence of the workpeople in conduct like
this is attributed to the cowardice of their late leaders in
Ithi turn-out, who, fearing to be marked men and er
Blade! from work, persuade their fellow-operatives to
mike it a condition that all shall be reongaged or none.
• Stasufacturer at Burnley, who has visited
seas of his workpeople since they resumed
desk employment, says he was surprised at the
amount of destitution he found amongst them after ea
short a strike, considering the long time they had previ.
coney been in full work, and their comparatively comfort.
able position before this affair. He found, on talking with
them, that exoeedingly few had saved so much as a few shil-1
Hags against the seasons of adversity to which they might
be liable themselves, although, with village perversity, they
bad been weekly contributors for nearly six months to the
strikes at Stockport, Preston, and elsewhere. For this im-
providence they attempted no excuse; all that can be
gathered from them is, that they do not treat their wages
as a fund that should be very frugally . dealt with ; they
dud there are many comforts or luxuries at the provision
shop and the grocer's, which they have nut the self-denial
to resist so long as there is money in the purse—
like many in a still better position in the world,
and if, after accustoming themselves to this systemof enjoy-
ment a " rainy day" comes, they blame, not their own
want of management, but the state of society that does not
allow every man to eat and drink to his own satisfaction,
with a purse in store besides. Many of the workpeople,
without seeing their own want of forethought in risking a
strike before they ha 4 saved any funds to carry them
through even a brief struggle. complained bitterly of the
way they had been served after contributing to support the
strikes at Stockport and Preston, in not being permitted to
share the contributions of other towns in their own day of
need. One of the singular features of these contests is, the
little acknowledgment with which workpeople have met
such of the masters as have in ordinary times treated them
with more kindness and consideration than others.
Ark at Burnley, Bury, or Preston, what has been
the fate of those emplopers who have been least
approachable by their workpeople, treating them
with comparative hauteur and contempt, and listen
ing to complaints about wages with impatience, as compared
with those who have used their operatives with courtesy
and kindness, and the answer its almost invariably that the
latter have most to complain of. At a mill in Bury, where
the proprietor had spent a large sum voluntarily every year
to provide a feast, where he could meet his people at a so-
cial gathering, this was aflirmed. A muter at Burnley, '
who paid for a railway train in summer, and took hie work-
people to Liverpool (50 miles), and provided them there for
three days with the means of enjoyment, makes the same
reply. It is well known that at Preston one of the best of
the employers in the town, and who most readily conceded
the advance of wages, had the least consideration shown him.
The explanation offered by those who profess to know the
reason of this is, that the workpeople lack courage to
meet the ruder disciplinarians among their employers, and
naturally throw themselves in these struggles upon the
milder, more courteous, and approachable of them, from an
opinion that if they can prevail in these quarters the
example of such masters will command respect among their
peers and influence them favourably.
At Bacup the employers opened their mills on the same
terms, yesterday, that had been offered last week with so
much success at Burnley, only that instead of four days'
work per week they only offer three at Baeup, and at old
prices. There was not such a rush as at Burnley, and most
of the workpeople kept aloof in the morning. In the after-
noon, however, it was reported that they offered themselves
mole freely, and that some of the mills had been able to
Mart the machinery with a prospect of 1111(11t0.
At Bury there is less probability of a teenroption of
week. Two of the smaller firms, with about 300 looms be-
tween them, being under engagements to pay for steam
power, have resumed at the 10 per cent. advance, from ina-
bility to pay these working expenses whilst the bands are
doing nothing. Their lam from paying higher wages than
the work will enable them to give will be less than from
remaining wholly idle. Another concern io the same
town, of 220 looms, hss started, the hands agreeing to forego
dr 10 per cent. advance and take old prices. The
ether miflownen appear disposed to keep up the contest with-
al% illaehing. The workmen will make a better fight here
tbsa at Burnley, Bacup, and other parts of the Rossendale
Valley, because in Bury there is a large proportion of the
population engaged in other trades, such as millwrights,
engineers, &c. ; and the operatives of these trades having a
strong sympathy with the turn-outs, are said to make up a
subscription approaching to 3s. per week each for them.
In the lodges belonging to the secret orders and societies,
the same sympathy is manifesting itself, and these societies
are said to have gone so far as to lead money on the pea
mimes of the committees of turnouts that the sums shall be
repaid when the struggle is at an end. One society is said
to have lent two sums of about 601. on such security.
There is no prospect of the mills being re-opened at Bary
before Christmas.
At Blackburn the mills continue to run full time, the
demand for the light, low-reeled cloths of that locality,
suitable for India, being much better than that for the
superior class of shirtings made in Preston. Of the latter
class of goods 50,000 pieces, now in China, were offered at
Manchester today to be re-shipped to Liverpool or any
other port at lid. per piece under the selling price of to-
day. It does sot follow, therefor*, as some have asserted,
that the same advance of wages can be afforded at Preston
as at Blackburn. At least such is the opinion of a Black-
burn manufacturer.

THE LEAGUE PRIZE ESSAYS.
--..--

It will be recollected that after the Anti-Corn
Law League had been reconstructed, a meeting was held at
Newsll's-buildings, Manchester, on the 10th of August,
1852, at which it was resolved to offer the sum of 2601. for
the best essay, and the sum of 601. for the wood best essay,
" Showing the results of the repeal of the corn laws and the
Gee trade policy, upon the moral, the social, the commercial,
and the political interests of the United Kingdom." The
twins were to be sent in, addressed to George Wilson, Bsq ,
League Rooms, Iffaachester, ca or before the let of De-
cember, 1862. It was required that a letter should accom-
pany each essay, giving the name and address of the writer,
which should remain unopened till the award was
made. The successful essays were to be the property
of the Council of the Notional Anti-Corn Law League.
The time for sending in these essays was afterwards ex-
tended to March is the present year. Altogether there
were 31 essays sent ia. The committee appointed to award
the prises included Messrs. R. Cobden, M.P., John
Bright, M.P., Henry Ashworth, Thomas Thomasson,
Thomas Batley, George Wilson, William Rawson, Joseph
Simpson, Marl Philips, Paulton A. Ireland, Aldermen
Watkins, and S. P. Robinson, hon. secretary: These gen-
tlemen, alter attentively reading and comparing the essays,
is the interval which has elapsed since they were sent in,
assembled yesterday at Newell's-buildings, for the purpose
of adjudging the prizes, when a resolution was passed to
the effect that the way No. 27, with the motto, " Be just,
and fear not," be adjudged to have gained the Pint prize of
2501., and that the essay No. 25, with the motto,
Leber coals vied!,
Improbue et darts urgena la rebus egertas,
be adjudged to have gained the second prize, of 501. It
was found that the essay to which the first prize had been
adjudged was the work of the Rev. Henry Danckley,
M.A., Baptist Minister, Salford, the same gentleman who
won the first prize of 1001. (for which there were 150 com-
petitors) offered by the Religious Tract Society in 1350, for
an essay on the social and moral condition of the working
classes ; and which has since Seen published under the title
of " the Glory and Shame of Britain." He was educated
at the Dissenting Academy, at Accrington, and graduated at
Glasgow University, where he obtained his degree of
M.A. The gentleman to whom the second prize has been
awarded, is Mr. James Grant, of Plowden-buildings,
Temple, London. The essays are of • considerable length,
showing great research and industry in the compilation,
and becoming the property of the League, will probably be
published in two handsome volumes.

NAWAS OF SimAL—Among the passengsra by
the Ripon, which arrived at Southampton on Monday with
the India and China mail, were several persons belonging
to the suite of the Nawab of Surat. The Nawab et.ine from
Bombay to Sues in the East India Company's steamer the
Aekbar, and in order to shorten the sea voyage to England
as much as possible he proceeded from Alexandria to
Trieste in the Austrian packet, accompanied by seem) of
hie friends and servants. The rest of his suite came home
in the Ripon. Surat was the first place at which the Mogul
Emperors allowed the English to establish &factory in India.
The principal persons in Surat were fire worshippers. The
Nawab's servants were dressed in the picturesque costume
of their country ; one of them spoke English fiaently and
grammatically. They cooked for themselves on board the
Ripon. The only thing they would est which had been
touched by Christians was bread. They killed the fowls
they ate, and cut the throats of the sheep, which famished
flesh for their own table. The Nawab's object in visiting
England is to prosecute some claim which he has on the
British goverment.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTII STAFFORD-

SHIRE.
-_.._

WOLVERHAMPTON, MONDAY.
An important meeting of the constituency of thin
division of the county was held at the Corn Exchange in
this town at noon to-day upon a requisition signed by SOUS
six hundred freeholders, the object being to decennia* the
best means of insuring the tilling of the vacant seat in the
representation in accordance with the principles and in-
terests of the great majority of the constituency. The
weirs have already selected Lord Ingest's, hat the liberal
party have refused to be bouni Ly a sort of tacit wade
standing which appears to have existed amongst the great
families that the representation should be divided between
the two great political parties. The state of the registration
is suck as to afford the fullest assurance that the return of a
second liberal may be secured.
At the meeting to-day there was a large attendance, in-
eluding many persons of large commercial inflou nee in the
district. Mr. Robert Scott, late M.P. for Walsall, pm-
sided, and the manufacturing interest and the iron trade
were represented by Mr.Wilham blathewsef Corbyn's Hall,
Mr. Blackwell of Dudley, and Mr. Archibald Kenrick, of
West Bromwich ; the agricultural interest by Mr. R. C.
Milner, a county_ magistrate.
Mr. WILLIAM MATHEWS moved a resolution, alarming
that "any compactor understanding between parties, how-
ever influential, whereby the representation of the Southern
Division of this county is kept in its neutrality, is altogether
oppos.d to the theory of the constitution of England, and Is
an infringument upon the rights of the electors, because it
prevents the majority from being fully represented, and is
calculated to deprive the electors of that free choice which
is their ancient, constitutional, and undeniable right."
Mr. Josses WALKER, late mayor of this town, seconded
the resolution, which was carried unanimously.
Mr. 8. H. BLACK WELL, ironmnster, of Dudley, then moved
that "tor the purpose of affording the constituency an
opportunity of regaining their elective rights, and of return-
ing a member whose political principles may accord with
those of the majority .1 their body, it is absolutely neces-
sary that a candidate in the liberal interest should he
nominated to supply the present vacancy, and that this
meeting pledges its energetic and utmost exertions to ensure
the return of such candidate, and entreats the chews to
put an end to the compromise upon linen, a disgraceful
neutrality in national affairs."
Mr. AALCHIBALD KESUICK, of West Bromwich, a county
magistrate, seconded the saaolution.
11r. Oloaon DAWSOS, of Birmingham, expressed a hope
that all shades of the liberal party wouli work together in
the approaching contest. The gentleman who was opposed
to them (Lord Ingestre) and signed himself " Meliora,"
signified that he wished to see better things—so did they;
but be (Mr. Dawson) did not doubt but that the better
things which Lord Ingests, wished to see wero those of yes-
terday. and not such as would be approved of by the liberal
constituency of South Staffordshire. Determined himself
to vote for the best man politically, no amount of amia-
bility—no love of soup kitchens—no mere philanthropy of
any sort—+h, uld turn him from that resolve, and he hoped
that such would be the feelings of the electors throughout
the division. (Cheers.)
This reselutiou was also carried by acclamation.
Mr. R. C. CHAWSER, a county magistrate, as an agricul-
turist, and one of the oldest' free-traden, cordially con-
curred in every word that had been said, and moved that
in the opinion of this meeting, Lard Paget is a fit and
proper man to represent this division of she county of
Stafford, and thut he be at once put in nomination as •
candidate, and receive the unanimous support of the inde-
pendent part of the constituency." (Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman WALKER, of Wolverhurupton, seconded
the motion. In 1816, when a thorough purging and revi-
sion of the reo,ister took place at the instance of the Anti-
Corn Law League, there was a gain to the liberals of
nearly a thousand votes, which had since been greatly in-
creased. At the time the last contest took place there were
only 7,781 electors oat toe register, whereas at the present
time there were 8,V4 voters in the manufacturing districts
alone. (Hear, hear.)
After some conversation, the resolution was put and
carried amidst hearty cheering.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
, ceedings.
In the cour.• of the meeting a telegraphic message was
r received from Mr. E. D. Dimenack, the troomasicr, expres-
sive of his cordial concurrence in the object of the meeting
' and regret at his inability to be present.
The general 'pinion appears to be that Lord Paget will
be returned by a good majority, but the conservatives are
working very hard.

REPRESEN CATION OF EAST GLOUCESTER-

SIIIRE.

STROUD, MONDAY Moue.
A very numerous meeting was held at the Stroud
Subscription Rooms, this (Monday) evening, for the pm-
pore of receiving Mr. Holland, the liberal candidate for
East Gloucestershire, and bearing an exposition of hie poli-
tical principles. Nearly 2,000 persons attended the meet-
ing, which was presided over by S. S. Mant:No, Esq.
Mr. HOLLAND addressed the =win at considerable
length. He reminded the electors the: he had always been
an advocate far advancing the progress of the people, and
he came before them as a tried 'fervent of liberal principles,
having fought the battle of reform in another county (Wor-
cestershire.) He appeared there eurrounded with difficulties.
,He had been called to account for having assisted in what
had been called the advance of democracy. This same
word democracy appeared to be a bugbear in the eye of
his opponents, but it was impossible that civilisation or
public opinion could advance without democracy. As the
people became mighty and inures d in wealth so also it
became right that they should have an increasing share in
the representation. He was for an advance, and be main-
tained that the constitution of the country would not be
injured by the adsauce of democracy. On the contrary, it
world strengthen it. If they ware allowed to give their
votes without intimidation, and to come to the pollee Eng-
lishmen should do, and if there was no bribery, indepeadtnt
Englishmen would never injure the constitution. He was
most anxious to become acquainted with the details of the
new Reform Bill, but be had full faith in the integrity,
honesty, and ;.urity of purpose of the present government
Other speakers followed, and a resolution, pledging the
meeting to support Mr. Holland, was unanimc wily passed.

DEATII OF LORD FULLERTOY.—We regret to
date that this venerable judge and distinguished lawyer
died on Saturday afternoon, at hie residence in this city.
It is only about three weeks since hie retirement from the
bench, ',which he so long adorned, was announced. On
Monday last he was !wised with symptoms of British
cholera, which it was hoped would yield to the treat-
ment; but on Thursday the aspect of matters became
I serious, and at a consultation of his medical advisers, we
believe little or no hope was entertained that he would
rally, though he lingered until Saturday afternoon. Lord
Fullerton came to the her so far back as 1728, or five yeast
after Sir Walter Scott. He was then in his 23rd year,
having been born ou 15th Dec., 1775, and, consequently,
had attained his 79th year. After a practice of thirty
years at the bar, he was called to the bench in 1828 through
the instrumentality of Sir Robert Peel, then Home Secre-
tary, sold we believe, on the earnest representation of the
present Lard Justice-Clerk, then Solicitor-General. Lord
Furerton well justified the choice. At the bar, and when
he was surrounded by a phalanx of eminent men—Erskine,
Clerk, Cranatoun, Thompson, Moucrieff, Jeffrey, Cock-
burn, and we may add, Keay, Jamieson, and Skene—
some betng his seniors and some his juniors, it will be recol-
lected by many that Lord Fullerton was still deemed ono
of the soundest, most learned, and accomplish lawyers on the
boards—and in the latter years of his practice, second as as
authority in the feudal and higher branches of the law to
note.—Caleclonnut Mercury.

UNIVERSAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—Dr. Each-
°Mier, of the Polytechnic Institution, has been for the
hat week or so engaged in lectaring upon a new modifica-
tion of the electric telegraph, patented by Mr. J. W. Wil-
kins. The mo ification in the present instance consists of
=ingeniously coctrived apparatus, by means of which the
electro-magnetic current is made to pass, as at present, in a
horieantal lure, or :o deviate from it at the will of the ope-
rator. The advantage taken of this double power ie that
the deflections made constitute an alphabet which the per-
son who rnei.es the message can at once decipher without
the necessity of any pointers or needles. The message ie
written by the telegraphic instrument itself. Amongst the
other advantages wales the invention is said to poems are
the simultaneous transmission of the meuage to all Of any
number of the radiating stations without intermediate ope-
rators, the use of one wire only, greatly iucreeeed facility
of operation, the necessity of only one operator at each tele-
graph, instead of two, as at present, superior insulators, and
the most perfect accuracy in the tranemissiot of the mes-
sage. A company has been, or is about to be, formed to
carry the aew modification into practical operation, and
they propose to erablish telegraphs in 800 towns at the
uniform rate M Ott. for every 20 words.
THE CHURCH Iv DANGER.—On Friday evening,
as the Bishops of Natal and Grahem's Town were proceed-
ing ins fly to Cuidesden Peltier, to meet a party at the
Bishop of Osturd'.. the carriage was upset near Wheatley,
and the righ: brethren were extricated from thole
perilous situatiiic `:y :wing helped out through the window,

ing from Oxford. tir: onstely reached the spot shortly after

•
TIIE THIMBLE:I DONE.—On Tuesday evening
gentleman from Hngland left Edinburgh in the train for
Stirling, and found himself shut up In a carriage with a
number of persons wham, it being dusk, he could not see,
but discovered from their talk they were no better than
they should be. One of them produced a candle, and then
the card trick 'oegan among the fellows, who were tire in
number. Erery etfirt was made to engage the stranger
in the play, Mr he, oeing wide awake, kept atolf until
he bad nearly resawd his journey's end, when, under-
standing the card trick thoroughly, he risked one pound
against fifteen taxied by the thimbler, and won the whole.
Then pocketing the cash, he coolly left the carriage at
Stirling, amidst the grumbling, of the crew, who pro-
nounced him so gentleman."—Caledonian Mercury.
THE FARICNGDON-STREET ElTENBlON.—Yesfef-
day workmen were engaged in erecting a hoarding round•
block of houses in West-street, Saffron-hill, preparatory to

in question were the resort of some of the most noted

CAMO.
Mr. Watson, with Mr. Jones, appeared for the plain-
tiff ; and Mr. Bramwell, with Mr. Henderson, for the de-
fendant

--71;iiiiwas an action brought to recover Ikt 10a., the vales
of a cargo of cools beloopsg to the plaintiff, which bad
been shipped ha a vowel called the Provides., belonging
to lb. defendant, and sold by the cassia of the vessel
at Cope■bagen The defendant paid 701. into court,
and pleaded ■over i■debte! as to the remainder of the
claim.

It appeared that in March, 1819, a cargo of coals was
shipped from Newcastle upon• Tyne to Bwinueman, a port
in the Baltic, when it was to be delivered to the plaintiff,
who is a merchant there. The captain of the ship, finding
that the port of flarioasman was blockaded, wrote for in-
structions to Mr. Krause, to whom Use coals were consigned,
but, before he received as answer, sold the coals at Copes•
hope for 1941. 10e. A letter afterwards arrived from
Mr. Krause, instructing him not to sell. This action was
now brought to recover the full amount, on the ground
that, the captain having sold without authority, no
freightage could be claimed for the cargo.
Mr. Bramwell, for the defendants, coateaded that it was
out of the sorties for the captain to have attempted to
break the IMcafadcs se the plaintiff had wished him to do,
as it was as lag astrary to the law of nations ; sad there-
fore be had ions the best thing that could be done seder
the eireasastosses, vin., sell the cargo at Copenhagen,
and be bad artalaiy sold it to advantage, all the coals had
bona purukosed at Newcastle for 1121. The law, however,
was too swag fns him, and he could only defend the action
on the grandame Mr. Beicheaberg was not, in point of
law, the owner albs vessel.
Lord Campion said the defendant was justified in relying
spa my yokel of law, as he considered this was rather an
nagradows action, for the plaintiff pressed for the full
assent which the cargo had produced, without allowing
anything for its carriage to Copenhagen. But they must
obey the law, and, however harshly it might operate in the
present instance, he believed it was a wise law.
Kr. Jones, after his lordship's intimation of opinion, was
willing to agree to a verdict for 421., the amount of the
price of the coals, deducting the 701. paid Into court.
Verdict for the plaintiff for 421.

Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Bramwell, and Mr. Bovill ap-
peared for the plaintiff. Sir F. Thesiger, Sir F. Kelly, Kr.
Knowles, and Mr. Wilkie represented the defendants.
This was as action brought by the owner of a collier brig
to recover upwards of 2,0001., the value of the brig, which
had been lost in consequence of a collision with the steam-
ship Trident, belonging to the defendants, in October last.

conflicting evidence as to the cause of the accident, and, as
the case was not concluded at the rising of the court, we
therefore reserve our report.

The bankrupt was described as a boot and shoemaker, of
Old Bnntlord. This was the adjourned examination
meeting. The balanee•sheet showed the extraordinary tact
of a large surplus on the creditor side. In fact, there was
only one creditor, whose claim was 891. for rent and taxes,
while the assets, consisting chiefly of money in the funds,
were stated at 8891. The case had been brought into this
snort owing to a suspicion that the bankrupt was about to
almesed.

Kr. lioublanque, who appeared for the creditor, had op-'
pond at the former meeting, on account of the refusal of
the bankrupt to give up all his estate.

yakeenents of the law had beta strictly complied with. The
whale of the bankrupt', funded property had been trans-
ferred to the official a•siguee. It appearing that this was
