yet stashed with their scheme, bet a night-school had been
talked of :for the ensuiag winter. Any individual leaving
the town could sell his sun to a peso.' who was feminine.
The society wu quite independent of any other, and woe
not unseated, as some bad iappmed, with the Leeds Re-
demption Society.

Mr. WALTER COOPER (a delegate from the London
astral board) said the fires go-opensuve coeferenee in Lm-
dm wee held in the Crown seffinehoual, Drury Mae, about
I two years ago when the Rev. Professor Maurice took the
chair. ftimar conferences continued to be held at intervals
I of a meeth during some time afterwards, and several im-
portant social and political questions were &scowled at
them. At the time when Mr. Henry Mayhew made his re-
velations, in kis letters to the Moms; Chronicle, several
meetings had been held by the tailors of Lndon, to sadism
the slop and sweating system which that gentleman had ex-
posed. it was at ibis time that the first on-operative experiaent
wee made in London. Pro liwor Morris and other promoters of
the seventeen, who wished to give en experiment of this
kind a lair trial, furnished 3001. se capital to comenenes with.
A number of journeymen tailors accordingly associated them-
selves together for the purpose. They simply said to one
another," We are brethren, children of one God, and our
mat busies"' ia the wee Id as to do good to one another."
With this Mee se • bash they forniebed a house,
fitted up splendid workshop* (perhaps the best in
Loads), vestilued then well, and provided them with
everything requisite for the cornier' of the men. They then
took in • eta k and smarmed work. There were 12 me-a-
bare when the association started, and in a short time the
number increased to 37. They had two leading ideas in
eommencing the asolation. Feet they said to one
another, "All trade that is now curled on in a lie—a
deeeptioe. It is rotten to its heart's eon, and thou engaged
in it are telling lies day after day. But we are determined
that the first 00-operative asociatioa shall be based on
truth." They accordingly threw open their books on their
cloisters for the inspection of the public, to show that there
was no deception practised, frankly statieg how much they
paid for materials, and how much in the shape of wages.
Th. it seeped ide.,seeing the evil efleMs of drunkenness was
a determination eat neither gin nor beer should ever pollute
their premises. They d. apiece teetotal bigotry as much as any
other bigotry, but seise the great eo.t of diunkennes to
the sou of labour, they resolved to have nothing to do with
it. Be might mention that the premises were provided with
an steeliest filter, In order that the men sight have pure
water. (lieu, hear.) Dating the first three seethe the
association had made a Mau profit of 771. oa the work
done' after paying for rent and furnishing. One-
third of the profits had been expended In stick ;
one-third was divided amongst the men, and one-third was
reserved to tone capital. The average Irma the y had paid
wee between 265. end 27a. le some weeks they had paid
11. 18e. wages, and they had paid less than 20s. • vita.
Daring some of the busy weeks the men barn worked 12
hours a day, but the greater part of the time only 10 hours '
a day. They had • small library in the estabtishreent, and it
at any time one of the men bad no work to do, he took
out owe of the books and read it aloud to the others while
they were at work.
Mr. LOYD JONES (another delegate from London) said
he represented first the promoters of the Working
Men's headed= in London—the tentless who
bad set on toot the experiment jest described
by Mr. Cooper; and be was also deputed to the tronference
by the central board, who were the men who represented
the association themselves. The promoters of the move-
ment thought it highly necessary that they should andeevour
to get as act of parliament to legalise the., aes,ciations.
They ought to try to get an art, and even if they did not
rowed in proles The bill, the agita.is would be worth
s settling. (Hear, hear.) &sadly, they wished to se a
central board established in this district, co-opeyating with
the central board and the anal of promoters in London, in
order that the amociations in differeat parts of the country
might be better enabled to act in bantam with each other.
flee nett thing they reesemended wee • plan of deposits
to working people. He bad a draft with his of the pro-
posed bank, bet he need not say more upon that point, as it
war now settles late, and the plan wadi be printed in a few
days. The promoters of the numemest also thought it very
etesfrasde that a mutual agerey should be established for all
sorts of goods produced by the association, by welch mutual
tutus* sold be effected between the different aseceia•
none. (Hear, hear
The Rev. C. KINGSLEY (mother delegate from Lun-
d a) said in all societies, of any sort whatever, small local
subscriptions for propagandist purposes bad been found to
er.rk exceedingly well. The power which the Jesuits had
been enabled to exert, whether fee good or evil was •
striking instance of what might be dose by this
want It was necessary to the enema of the
present movement that they should have public meetings all
over England on the subject. And they must not only hove
public eseetisse, but some means of keeping up a steady and
p manse avulse at us gives town for sit or twelve
months, and when they had joined • geed suitor of think-
ing sae to their side they might Mho another teens, and
so ea until they
_had *enquired the whole eruntry. Every
mu who wished to promote the movement should have
spirit enough to give himself • little tremble In preaching
te these eretind and by dimribeting trams to the
wakens. They knew well enough bow to speak to one
another; the. why did not es te of them write short,
pithy, powerful trap, setting forth what they bad done
and what they thought sold he done ; and then
get them printed by penny ettheeriptione, and distribute
them. He intended to do something in this way himself,
and then it they eould only establish an organised wpm-
diem, they might steed the movement allover Ragland. It
would be very desirable If they could establish • weekly
' journal (if they could have a stamped owe so mash the better,
—if not they nut be content with an unatamped se)
I which should be the avowed otgaa of this movement. and
should softie roper's of its progress ie every part of the
eountry, I. order to let its promoters la maples know what
was geiogomin another. They should make it strictly an
organ of the usociative movement, in order that it might
not interfere with the sole of any other periodical. (Hes).

which he looked upon a ate of the briabtest features
la the society. The members of the society were
divided into tees. These tens each selected one of
their samba —an incividual whom they celled a
eondanor. They required the members of the soriety to
meet ones per week at the least. They had also divided
the members into pairs, or partners. Three individuals
were requir,d to visit every week at least the families of the
other members, and at the meeting of the clam report to the
society the condition. , decimations, tied cudgel also of the
menthere. We had bad too way prillite who in public

the rein and freed which had been practised In societies pre-
viosely established. The members therefore adopted this
mogul dice tine over each other to nst re theta do that which
they thought was right. (Hear, bear.)
Yr. J. G. CLARKS (a delagete from the Practical
Christian Church) said he wan sorry to tail the meeting
that the society he rep/nested had fallen away to • very
smell number. When they met together they appeared to
be a samba of religious men as wallas free•thioktn ; het,
buten Gnu to the 'outlook* that all their efforts to im-
prove the erudition of the working chases would be fruitless,

any farther steps at present, beesuee the law prt noted
more than three ot five panne from associating to purchase

Hagen, whisk wore well known to the world through the

they had advocated the puede* of couprratiggo, and de-
nounced the state= of competition. • Their experiments
had been to were extent toilette, as regarded the
affairs of the society, though by no means indiest-
lag that they were based on unsound ptincipl.s.
The assoclatioa saw still in exletentre, bat hal latterly

means of tracts sad lectures.
Tito nseetiag was she addressed by delegates from the
letter mese printers, tenon, glace-cutter, the Rochdale
Equitable Pioneers' Society, and the Bury Redemption
S gegety. The business eoncluded with two resolutiJos, one
(moved by the Charke Kingsley, and seconded by Mr.
Walter Cooper) to the effect that the reports sow received
from the delegates fully corroborated the evidence pre•
vitally existing, as to the rottenneu of the present competi-
tive system is trade, and prow. d that the aesonatioc for co-
operative labour and the enabliehment of mutual rulnuges,
would be the best means of improving the condition of the
working elates; the other (moved by Mr. Loyd Jones, and
seconded by Mr. James Hoyle) to the effect that the existing
committee had the full coofidence of the present coogreu,
and were empowered to call another delegate conftreste

FISHING BOAT RUN DOWN OFF bARTMOUTH.—On
Wednesday night week three fithirmen, named Ware,
father and eon, and a men tamed Sinks were drifting with
their nets, f.r the purpose of taking pilchards, between
D.wnend aced Bharpharn Point, about a mils off the land.
At about one o'clock to the storming, having • light deployed
on board, which had Mon burning since the darkness set to,
es alleged by the survivor, they pared a Dart. oath boat,
which was riding at anchor, and the elder Ware spoke to
those who were in her as coy drifted by. About en hour
after this young Ware having laid down was called by his
father, who told him a steamer (which proved to be the
Brunswick, from Guernsey to Taegu syj was approaching.
H 4 then got up and saw it coming directly towards the host,
about • quarter of a mile distant. All three of them thee
hailed the steamer, and got up a " five up" light, in ad-
Aaiun to that which had been hutting during the right.
The steamer, however, came direct on the boat, and as
she was in the act f striking it young Were jumped
overboard, is order to escape being dossed to pi, cue He
was in the water about a minute, and on !chine around
saw the wreck of the boat and swam to it, when he found that
both masts were carried away, and the starboard quarter
stove in; the boat being at that time half full of water. The
elder Ware and Banks were on board, the former remarking
to his son that it was a bad job, end asked where the pent
war, and on being told that it was knocked to piPete by the
steamer he said we shall all be drowned. In about •
minute young Ware finding the vessel was sinking, again
jumped overboard, and sew his father and Banks both go down
with the wreck. After being in-the water about • quarter
of an hoer the *toaster's boat came back and picked the young
man up. almost exhausted. Oa befog taken on board be woo
put to bed, and was landed at Torquay quite reentered.
The captain of the Brunswick states that the men had no light,
and if such were the cam there would be no blame attached to
him; but the evidence of the men in' the Dartmouth boat has
been taken for the purpose of investigating the affair, and
goes to prove that the statement of young Wars, that there
wee • light burning, is 00:flet.
FIRE AND Loss OF LIPS AT CIII•WICR.—Late on

and unhappily attended with fatal and most distreuine

was raised of the premien being on fire, and upon the

The report of the committee of investigation, ap-
pointed klatch 17, hen just been damned to the shareholders.
It is of great length, and after entering minutely into the
Past management and resent condition of the company,
coaciadee n Mb the following general remarksand the mom-
sends, ions of the committee :
" U.garding the iuture prospects of the line, the eommit.
tee consider that, under peeper management, these are
mere cheering then, from the previous statement', might
have been supposed. With rwurning prosperity, rend-
daring the great and learealag population et the termini
and on the line, the committee do not fear that there will
be an Martine of triage to each an extent es, when CCM-
bisu-d with the fruits of a frameable economy, will yield
' a fair divid.nd, irreepective of the Caledonian guarantee.
The committee anticipate that the Caledonian Com-
pany will ultimately be gainers by the connection. The
committee, honerr, are unanimoualy of opinion, that
this c spiny should joust for the full amount of the
Caledonian guarantee, and they are glad tony, that the
Liverpool, Ltncester, and Greenock shersholders hive
mew rialised the eitrectors to the slime effect. The coin.
mitts* confider it the more necessary to 'Rm.."' their de-
cided conviction on this 'abject, to consequence of the un-
derstood privet* arrangement of the directors with the Cale-
donian directors to concede eredueed rate. The committee
conceive that any reduction is une.ll.d tor. Toe guarantee
mu come under at a time arisen the lame rate could have
been secured elsewhere, without the risk that the ill:onside-
rate eonduct of the lac Caledonian directors has 'wailed.
Toe shareholders have but calmly to consider their position.
The Greenock company stands net; in i•rd,r to the Gam-
kirk and Clydesdale Joneti.:n Companies in point rf pre-
ference. The former does, or will, pay is own guarantee;
the share capital of the latter is no mfr, thaa 450,0001. ;
and the annual charge fee the ordinary stork of
Greenotk line is 20,0001, l. es the sum derived
from its earning". Toe committee, after hearing
and maturely wtighing all the expl.nations of the
directors on the "eject, cannot sea that the goes-
Mon of recovery is heat with much diffleelty. No
douilt the immure' to be taken f .r enforcing payer rat must
be adopted, not with promptitude on.y, but with emotion
and prudence, and there can be no (toady of success b ing
&cleat secured. During the pendenco of theme requisite
measures the shareholder cannot be insert ; they are '..ti-
tled, by the art, to have a judicial factor or receiver ap-
pointed to uplift the us of their own line f..r their en.
easier benefit, without affecting the validity of their claim
for the .1 flieney sanctioned by the art of parliament and
indisputably jest. With the view of bevies the affairs of
this company preperly conducted In the meantime, the Calll-
mitue would recommend—

---
"I. That an infusion of new and independent directors
should he made. The system of ati,managtm•nt sad eon-
eeslinent that has hitherto esi•ted must be put an end to,
by the exe.utlon of those who have been the chief parties
einimned.

" 2. That the line should be mutated by a responsible
party, not holding the office a director. The gate:Dundee
the managing director has wrought ill, and proved moat
hoe erdoue : and now, when less has arisen, that gentleman
adecte to say he is no more responainle than another director.
He cannot be effectually checked by • b ant principal,
local, whose in,intacy must neensanly fetter expressions of
sentiment which they might entertain. Tnere mast, gene-
rally, be • bias in the menagicg director to hue only those
run on the board who will secure him Ace, and least con-
teed his proceedings. H. must necessarily he • master wh. n
be should only be a se event. Had the cone mismanage-
ment and defalcation been di‘coyered in any other company,
where the manager or secretary was a hired or ruponeinle
person, he must at once have been dismissed from hia
and undoubtedly obliged to make good the lon.
"3. There should be a fioal closing at this date of all
capital accounte—the capital being already exhesteteel. This
would necesesrily put a stop to every nuttier transfer of
money to capital that should be borne by revenue, ant the
real value by the line would be known It would, of course,
be left to subsequent meetings, if they Foe cause to sucti
any new works, on the same being submitted to them and ex-
plained in a printed etatement—circulated at lent • fortnight
before the meeting called for deliberation.
" 4. That in general all works or furnishings of import-
seee should b.: only contracted for after being submitted to
public emapetiticn. _ .

" 6. Trait such a sum u msy be considered sufficient to
meet stepreeistion should he set spar% hall yearly, sad spoiled
to disbursements under this bead.

" G. That the accounts should he audited by neutral and
independent parties, and proper detailed statements c f the
amounts, accompanied by the report of the directors and
auditors, transmit, d to the shareholders at ►east ten days
be'oro each of the half-t early meetings. The committee are
quite aware t►at this proposition may be m•t by the state-
ment of the directors, that the set of incorporation makes no
provision for auditon. But this earthen prevent a resolution
of the shareholders, that such particular psrtits as they .1 ay
point out shall be employed by the directors to exercise a
continuous audit, and to make the necessary retort and
statement to the shareholders at the half-i early meeting.
If directors are sincere in their intentions to act honestly
and fairly, they canr.ot ohj.ct to such a regulation, and
there is no other way in wLich any directors can long main-
tain the coefitence of the shareholders

"7. That a committee he epp dotedto watch over the into-
' rests of the company in connexion with the Caledonian
Railway, who shall be empowered, in conjunction with the
directors, to take snok me.aares as shall MI considered pro-
per. to protect and renter &Tellable the intercom of the
shareholder'. on the express urdretanding that no conces-
sion es to the rate or doluction in the dividend shall be
made in the Caledonian Company.
" 8. That the amounts of law agents and solicitors from
the berinniog at.all be taxed by proper auditor, under the
insoection of a committee of shareholders.
" 9. That the law agent of the company snail in future be
paid by an annual salary for his ordinary dude.. and that
any extraordinary bwine se to be otherwise paid for shall
only he performed on being sanetionad by a vote of a central
or en -chat general meeting.
" 10. That the whole money affair' of the company be in
future transacted in the morotary or treuura rkpartra nt
in the head office, and that that department be so regulated
in other respects as to hem a control OM every breach of
expenditure.
. . . . .

The committee regret that they have been usable to
overtake the duties entrusted to them so fully as they could
have wish, d prior to the half-yearly meeting, and they can
therefore only submit to the shareholders an interim report.
The report, however, imperfect a, at is, they trust will not
be found unprofitable to the eharehol,ers, and they beg to
intimate that they will, at the ensuing general meeting to be
held on Blitember 19 entreat, more its adoption."
