COMPOSITORS' EMIGRATION-MID SOCIETY.

The compoeiton of London have recently este-
Mislaid a society for the purpose of misting ineusben of
the ,migrate to such ' likely to afford

trade to ern,rate to such places as are ..sety to an.—
. remunerative held for their labours, and that permanence
01 employment which it is to be feared many of them do
not obtain in this country. That this is the cue is unfor-
tunately proved by the fact that no less a sum than 1,0001.
has been subscribed by compositors during the last year,
aced distributed in weekly allowances to their unemployed
brethren. A more really charitable and friendly plan to-
wards such unemployed per ons could hardly he, than
raising funds to transmit them to countries where their
labour is greatly in demand, and the remuneration for their
industry nut only certain but large. This particular emi-
gration scheme has met with the approval of all who have
been made aware of it. and is, we believe, patronised by
Mrs. Chisholm, a proof that it is practical and wise. In
order to aid the funds of the society, an amateur perform-
ance was got up on Saturday last, at Sadler's Wells
Theatre, when the comedy of The Wonder was played,
followed by a varied list of entertainments, and concluding
with the drama of Mary queen of &nil. The actors on
the occasion were members of the trade, belonging to the
"Printers' Dramatic Society." Criticism on amateur
sating is always out of place, and especially so when the ob-
ject is a benevolent one. It will, therefore, suffice to say that
the performances liaised off quite to the satisfaction of a
house so well attended as to justify a belief that a coasider-
able sum will be added to the hinds of the society.

MEETLY° OF WORKMEN ENGAGED IN TUE
BOTTLE TRADZ.—SHIELDS, SATURDAY NIOILT.—This
afternoon, a conventiou of workmen employedin the bottle
works on the Tyne and Wear, was held in this town. The
Illeetin took platy in the Central Hall, and was attended
by workmen from the following works :—South Shields.
Bill Quay, St. Peter's, St. Lcwrenee, Close Gates, New-
castle, Deptford, Southwark, Kirks, Old Factory, Ayre's
Quay, the Bridge and PIMA'S Works, Bishopweannouth.
Meetings of the men belonging to some of the factories had
been held previously, and this meeting was called for the
purpose of deliberating upon the present rate of wages
paid the workmen for their labour. Bottle makers are
divided into bottle finishers, bottle blowers, and
gatherers. Finishers receive 20s. per week, blowers
16, per week, gatherers 13s. per week. The principal
port:on of the men are bound at this rate, and the mas-
ted have offered to advance them 2s. per week upon each
section. The men ask an advance of 4s. per week. Two
prepositions were submitted to the meeting. The first pro-
position was to strike for the advance of 4s. per week, and
von the risk of punishment consequent on the breach of
agreement. The second proposition was to accept the com-
promise offered by the employers. After a lengthened dis-
suades, it was resolved to adjourn the oeseideratice of the
cemks its a week to give is bound an Sias.
