The event which stands out in the boldest relief with reference to
the past year, is undoubtedly that which called together the various

" Each with his native handiwork and busy tongue."
This grand convention of the world's artificers caused the capital
of Great Britain to become a centerpoint of attraction, and the tri-
umphant results which attended this memorable Congress, win not
soon be obliterated from the memory Of the many who were specula-
tors of the grand display.
It is not, however, the province of tradesmen to take discursive
views of a year's occurrences, except in connexion with their own
immediate speculations. It is a generally received opinion, that the
Great Exhibition produced effects in trade contrary to those naturally
anticipated ; nor can it be denied that this is true, to a certain ex-
tent, in certain quarters.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC. PILLS.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public-
who may be similarly affected.
"About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Mobre, in the 18th Hussars. always pro-
cured,the best medical aid, without obtaining any. essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by these who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health.
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to th areaus.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any deg suf-
fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
" I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always been of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" GARRET FOSTER GILL.

FAREWELL, OLD YEAR!
marked by the revolution of Empires and the convulsion of
Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of Industry,
fraught w ith events which will be recorded on the historic page,
forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechaule—
a great step in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the
hostile tribes of the human race
The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the
world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent
outlay, amazing preparations, and highly cultivated taste displayed
in the memorable Exhibition, aroused the attention of all classes—
from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the
beloved Sovereign of our country to the most distant member of her
extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display,
and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the
sources of gratification every day unfolding. Great as was this expo-
sition of the resources, skill, and industry of all nations, approved and
instructive as were its results, E. MOSES and SON, though they
had little to learn from the styles and fabrics of dress presented in
the World's Show, being connected with all the most celebrated con-
tributors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their
clothing ; yet th:y had the pleasure of tendering their attention to
thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with
their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous
manner in which approbation was manifested towards their great
business undertakings, all based on such a system as gratifies the
observer while it secures the proper advancement of society by
diffusing a correct and elevated taste. This they assert with the
most substantial proof that they are giving expression to the senti-
ments of thousands, who will long remember their business Establish-
ments as the principal attractions of the City. The Glass Palace
may henceforth be little regarded, or may be entirely removed ; but
E. MOSES and SON, encouraged by the confidence and patronage of
thousands, will endeavour to render their Establishments attractive
by the magnificence of their Stock, its adaptation to all Seasons, its
unparalleled elegance, and its prices, below those of any other house
in the kingdom ; they therefore hail the
New Year, in the spirit of tradesmen, posted up to the present
moment, ready to meet all the commands of their friends and
patrons in the City or in the Country, to supply at any moment the
most appropriate style of dress at the lowest rate, er to give imme-
diate attention, and, they doubt not, great satisfaction to those
Gentlemen who favour them with their orders in the Bespoke De-
partment.
For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their elegant
fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter Wear they recom-
mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm
and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle-
men whose Sons have returned from school to spend their holidays,
to pay a visit to their City or West End Establishments, and to
select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which
has the three following requisites combined—Fashion, Durability,
and Cheapness. Nor b.ave-.they- neglect to-provide for the- Year
1852 every Article in Vie Outfitting Department. Furs, the last im-
ported from the far-famed hunting stations, manufactured to the
latest styles, and preserved from the destruction of the moth by a
peculiar process. To particularize Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots,
Shoes, &c., &c., &c., is unnecessary.
A visit to E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments in Aldgate
and Minories, or New Oxford-street, corner of Bart-street, will
convey some idea of their derermination in reference tb the year
1852. No sacrifice of time, talent, or money, will be considered, No
exertions which vigilant and persevering tradesmen can make will
neglected. No opportunity of gratifying the diversified tastes passive
their Patrons will be allowed to pass unimproved. But, by massve
outlay of capital, extensive business transactions in the first
circles of fashion, by unabated zeal in all deportments of their
daily increasing trade, they are resolved to make such an impres-
sion on their Friends, Patrons, and the Public, as will ensure to
them the celebrity of the first Clothiers and Outfitters in the World.
It is their ambition to maintain the honourable distinction they have
already attained ; to meet the claims of an improving state of so-
ciety ; to extend the benefit of Free Trade ; to turn to the most
profitable account the interchange of nations ; and to incorporate
with these events the reduction of price on those every day requi-
sites,
Elegant and Serviceable Dress. In the execution of these
gigantic designs they are cheered on by the encouragement they
have already received ; and in bidding farewell to the Old Year, they
express their highest sense of obligation for the support awarded to
their establishments, and hope, ere the close of another year, they
will have the satisfaction of being, as they always have been, uni-
vers illy acknowledged as the cheapest, most talented, and unrivalled
Clothiers, Tailors, Outfitters, and Merchants in the World.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
ADVERTISER.—It is as we expected. The
despotic Courts on the Continent cannot restrain,
within the limits of decency, their exultation at the
downfal of Lord Palmerston. They revel in delight
at the thought of his dismissal from office. No one
can be surprised at this. The wonder would have
been if it bad been otherwise. They have,
indeed,
cause for joy, if it shall turn out that the Noble Lord's
exit from Downing-street is to be perpetual. But it
may be well to remind continental despots, that on the
point whether Lord Palmerston's exclusion from office
is to be for ever, or only for. a time, there are at least
two opinions. The knowledge of this fact may go
some way to moderate the exultation of the abettors of
absolutism on the Continent. It would, too, be quite
as well for themselves, if

man. whose demoniacal nature tore England
from its natural alliances." But let this
language pass. Before long the Austrian
Government will, perchance be compelled to
express itself in; terns less ineulting, and more nearly
allied to e truth. We begs to remind the continen-

will only accelerate it progress. From his tem-
porary retirement, from his seeming political
sleep, the Noble Lord will rise up as a giant re-
freshed. He will re-appear with renewed vigour.
As yet we have not received intelligence from St.
Petersburgh as to the manner in which the news of
Lord Palmerston's eviction from the Foreign-office
has been received. But we may very confidently,
conjecture in what way the intelligence will be re-
garded at the Court of the Czar. There will not
be a person in Europe, crowned or uncrowned, who
will hail the Noble Lord's dismissal with greater
exultation than Nicholas himself. The memorable
words of the despot who sits on his icy throne in the
north, will at once occur to every mind acquainted
with them :—" The repose of Europe," said the Czsr
on a recent occasion, "will never be assured until that
revolutionary Palmerston is got rid of." "The
repose of Europe !" We all know what that means
in the vocabulary of St. Petersburgh. The repose of
Europe means, in those northern latitudes, the sleep of
political death. It means the entire annihilation of
freedom, and the universal prevalence throughout
Europe of unmitigated despotism. It means that
sort of repose which the bullet and bayonet can
create, and which is to be preserved by the sabre and
the cannon's mouth. We have had some very fine
specimens of this repose within the last few years,
and we are not without samples of it now. We have
only to look across the water and see this sort of
European repose, in the case of France, where the
press is muzzled, and the musket is regarded as the
best means of governing nations. And here let us
tell Louis Napoleon, by way of parenthesis, that if
this is the sort of repose which he means to give
to France, he will, to use a favourite expression of
our Transatlantic friends, " find out his mistake"
before long. We have been willing to give him a
fair trial; we have asked others to do the same; but
if the principles on which he is at present conduct-
ing the affairs of his government, be those on which
he means to conduct them permanently, he will
speedily wish that he had not exchanged his old oc-
cupations and favourite haunts in the Haymarket,
for the possession of supreme power in France. But
this is a matter to which we shall have ample oppor-
tunities' of adverting- hereafter,- It is not with' the
President of France, but with the Courts of St. Pe-
tersburgh and Vienna, that we have just now to do.
Possibly they may learn, before long, from bitter
experience, not only that they have been exces-
sive, but premature in their joy. Before hallooing
so lustily, it might be just as wise and
well for them to make sure that they are out of
the wood. It would only indicate the existence
of habits of forethought, where they to contemplate
the return of Lord Palmerston to power, as at least
a possible contingency. And of this, we presume,
they are just as much convinced as ourselves, that if
he does return to Downing-street, it will be to oc-
cupy a much higher place in the political world than
be ever did before. He will be brought back to
Downing-street on the joint invitation of his Sove-
reign and his fellow-subjects. And re-instated in this
way in Downing-street, he will become a greater
thorn in the sides of the despotic Courts of the Con-
tinent than ever. Everything seems to indicate the
speedy advent of Lord Palmerston to office as Prime
Minister of the country. The Whig Cabinet, with-
out him, is no better than a burlesque. It is a thing
of which the country is heartily ashamed. It would
not surprise us much, were some of our metropolitan
theatres to make it the subject of an afterpiece. It is
feebleness itself. To apply to it the term, " strong
Government" would be felt by all its members, from
the Premier downwards, to be the most bitter satire
which could be directed against it. Nor does it
admit of being strengthened. Any additions which
may be made to it would only have the effect, were
that possible, of rendering it feebler still. No man
who has the slightest respect for himself would
listen for a moment to any propose! which might be
made to him to identify his political fortunes with
those of the emasculated Whig Ministry. If any
Person can at all be prevailed on to give in their ad-
hesion, as it is called, to the Russell Administration,
it can only be such ardent 'congers after office as the
Grahams and Cardwells, and others of the same poli-
tical party. But even were there no other objections
to these men, their semi-Popish predilections would
render it impossible that they should be tolerated in
this country. They have excluded themselves effec-
tually from office, so long as England remains a Pro-
testant power. They did their best, by an unholy
alliance with the Members for Rome in the House of
Commons, to defeat a measure which had for its
object at once to uphold the prerogatives of the
Crown, and to protect the interests of the Protestant
religion. If Sir James Graham, Mr. Cardwell,
and the other Parliamentary patrons of Popery,
accede to the solicitations of Lord John Russell to
join his rickety Cabinet, we should then have an
essentially Popish Government, for they could only,
after the course they pursued last session, agree to
join the Whig Cabinet on the express understanding,
that their semi-Romish principles should be embodied
in the policy of the Administration. Lord John
Russell would not, we believe, have any great objection
to this. Protestantism is, in his view, only as dust
in the balance, compared with his own continuance
in power. But fortunately the country will have its
way in the matter. Though Lord John Russell may
take these pro-Popish politicians into a Cabinet
partnership with him, he will not be able to preserve
the relationship. The Russell and Graham Ministerial
firm, even should it fairly commence business, will
not have a protracted existence. Pour or five weeks
will be the utmost extent of its term of life.
Parliament, expressing the voice of the country,
would, before a fortnight had passed away, strike a
docquet against it, and cause its name to appear in
the Gazette, under the head of official bankrupts.
DAILY NEWS.—It
is a lon—
g time since we
espied anything interesting in German politics, much
less anything partaking of the comic. The affairs of
tiltra•Rhine are in general of the solemn and lugu-
brious nature, and events wayey occur are certainly
no laughing matter. By. pof exception, however,
or perhaps by way of enlivening, a very despondent
country during Christmas, the diplomatists at Frank-
fort have got up a dispute which burlesque writers
would turn to wonderful account. The poor Germans
are, however, no more allowed to laugh than to talk.
Wit is forbidden on both banks of the Rhine, and
to laugh at Schwarzenberg, twig Manteuffel, or to
smile it these convenient moustaches from between
which came Louis Napoleon's oaths, and comes his
constitution, would be visited forthwith by military
arrest, execution, or castigation. If the Germans
must not laugh, let us at least laugh for them.
Austria and Prussia are quarrelling. What think
you about? About German unity, or a customs
league, or the presidency of the Diet, or the pa-
tronage of the lesser states ? None of these things
occasion any strife. But Austria and Prussia are
quarrelling as to which of them shall have the
command of the German fleet ! It will be said
that the German fleet does not exist, that its
vessels have been paid off and sold, its one only cap-
ture restored, its admiral sent about his business, and
the very cause for which is was raised betrayed and

man fleet which never existed but in embryo, and
people doubt our assertion let them open the Prussian
Gazette, and they will find there an article,
or articles,
containing most dolorous complaints of Austria's
having got possession of the committee of the Diet
charged with the affairs and the funds of the German
fleet. " Prussia subscribed the better part of those
funds," pleads the Prussian Gazette, " whilst now
those funds are to be disposed of by Austria, Bavaria,
and Saxony, powers which never gave one single
dollar to the purchase and support of the German
fleet !" • This is certainly very insolent on the part
of Austria and of the Kings who do her bidding,
and very bard upon Prussia. But as no one in
all Germany pities Prussia, and as no one in that
country is of any other opinion than that Prussia
richly deserves the daily and hourly humiliation
she receives, it is quite idle to complain. Austria
and her allies have the majority of the Diet. And
Prussia, since it rejoined the Diet, has been in such
a contemptible minority, and been treated with
such marked contumely, that in truth the position
of a galley slave at Toulon is tolerable and honour-
able, compared with that of Prussia at Frankfort. In
every standing committee of the Diet, laments the
weeping Prussian Gazette, our representative is
either left out or left alone. Prussia, from being the
first, has been thrust down to the last, power in
Germany. One of these standing committees has for
its task to form a German Zollverein, to take Ba-
varia, Wurtemburg, Saxony, and Han Over from the
Prussian league, and form with them an Austrian one,
which Prussia would be compelled to enter. Yet
even this committee has been put together with the
usual partiality ; and Prussia is made no more ac-
count of even in the commercial re-organization of
Germany than if she were Mecklenburg- Strelitz or
Waldeck. We do not mention these facts in order
to excite any sympathy for Prussia. No wretched
poltroon ever more richly deserved the daily kicks
which are his appanage. And it is not unfitting
retribution that the money which the Hamburghers
and Stettiners, the dwellers on the Oder, the Weser,
and the Elbe subscribed for the German fleet, should
be spent by Austrian clerks and Bavarian profes-
sors. This is not a time for even a Mephistopheles
to enjoy the castigation and humiliation inflicted by
a descendant of Maria Theresa upon the representa-
tive of the great Frederick. The old cauldron of
French mischief has been once more set upon the fire.
Whatever efforts may be made to moderate its heat,
that it will boil over upon Europe in some shape or
other is too natural to expect. Even were the
French inclined to be quiet and to remain at home,
the situation and the feelings of the German countries
and population on and beyond the Rhine, were alone
sufficient to tempt the invader. It is not one but all
German Governments that are not merely disliked,
but abhorred. And could Louis Napoleon but put a
liberal mask over a proclamation to the Germans, he
would be "received with open arms, aye, and elected
there too by universal suffrage, as the best instrument
of vengeance. and the most promising bosom of de-
struction. With such sentiments in the people, such
contingencies in the future, the Austrian Court con-
tinues to humiliate Prussia, and to keep the old jealousy
rankling wide. We have people amongst us repeating
the old cant of the Congress of Vienna, and insisting
on the necessity of the great Powers remaining united.
But how can there be union where there is oppression?
Austria, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, hold their feet
on the neck of Prussia at this moment, and are abso-
lutely strangling her, to deprive her of her old lead in
the Zollverein. Who can consider Prussia a sincere
ally of the present state of things in Germany ?
Who is there but must see that the first prince or man
of spirit in Prussia who gets the opportunity of a
French alliance, or any alliance, will rush eagerly to
retribution and vengeance, and to the necessity of re-
placing his country in that honour, greatness, and
respect, which the Great Frederick won for it. What
King of Prussia would care for territories on the left
bank of the Rhine, if he could secure Hanover and
Saxony in lieu of them ? And Hanover and Saxony
—by allowing themselves to be the instruments of
Austrian vengeance and spite against Prussia, have
certainly earned and may expect from Prussia in re-
turn that she should take advantage of the first good
opportunity to annihilate them.

THE DISPUTE BETWEEN THE MASTER
ENGINEERS AND THE AMALGAMATED
SOCIETY.
Nothing transpired yesterday calculated to awaken
the hope that a friendly termination of the questions
at issue between the operative mechanics of the
Amalgamated Society and their employers can be
hastily looked for. On the one hand, the masters ad-
here to their resolution to close their factories on the
10th ; and, as far as we can perceive, everything on
their part is tending to that end. At the same time,
the men with equal pertinacity cling to their deter-
mination with regard to piecework and overtime.
Both are preparing to meet the disastrous conse-
quences which may be in store for them, should no
amicable settlement be arrived at.
In a dispute of this nature, where the movement on
either side has been characterized by so much mode-
ration of tone and language, and where so little
matter of a personal or a bitter sort has been dragged
into the discussion, and where, too, a friendly adjust-
ment would be so very desirable, it is a great pity
that neither party will so far make a concession as to
communicate officially to the other that they are
ready to receive overtures of a pacific character, with
a view to the satisfactory termination of the dispute.
The men have already made overtures at their pub-
lic meetings, but as they have not been brought spe-
cially before the masters, they refuse to recognise
them.

Last night a crowded meeting of the men was held
at their central club in Stepney.
An ENGINEER, having been called to the chair,
briefly stated that they had met for the purpose of
ascertaining the position of affairs in the different
localities of London, so far as they had yet come to
their knowledge; he would call therefore upon their
zealous and indefatigable friend Newton to give them
a sketch of the present aspect of matters.—(Hear.)
Mr. NEWTON, who was warmly cheered, proceeded
to detail the progress of the movement, many particu-
lars of which have already been detailed in these co-
lumns. He stated that on Sunday afternoon there
had been a meeting of the executive council, at which
many excellent and practical suggestions had been
thrown out, and he was happy to inform them that,
after much anxious consideration, the council, feeling
the necessity of not trenching upon the funds of the
society, had devised means whereby employment
would be secured to them.—(Cheers.) On Saturday
night he had attended a meeting at Greenwich, which
had been called in consequence of Mr. Penn, the
great employer there, baying stated that the exe-
cutive committee of the Employer's Association were
desirous to receive a deputation from the executive of
the Amalgamated Society. He was happy to tell
them that at that meeting Mr. Penn was eulogized as
one of the most liberal of their employers—(Hear)—
and it was out of deference to him, and out of the
respect which they entertained for him, that the men
had taken the earliest opportunity of calling a meet-
ing, in order to consider how far they could go in
adopting the suggestions which that gentleman had
made to them. The feeling of the meeting was una-
nimous that if the employers wished to receive a de-
putation a deputation should attend them, but that
the men should not take the iniatiee.—(Cheers.)
At that meeting there also had occurred what he an-
cipated would be general. A number of persons who
were not connected with the Amalgamated Society_
and who had continued to work overtime, attended
and inquired if they could not, as non-members of the.
society, co-operate in the movement—if thebir :ea.,/

on them to remember that their position was a passive
one in resisting the strike of the employers, and that
they had only been called into activity by the neces-
sity of making preparations for their defence.

tions were being made to meet the crisis. He was
sure the men were quite prepared to enter into the
system of self-employment. The members of the
society had not only a great many tools, but a very

THE ENGINEERS AND MECHANIc,s.
(From the Illanchester
,Gzu4rdian)
Since our, last publication, vatious communications
have been made to the neiwspapirs in reference to the
disputes between the engineers and machine-makers
and the Amalgamated Society of workmen. Speeches
have also been made at the meeting of the latter body ;
and by a comparison of the two we are enabled to
arrive at a tolerably clear perception of the true
merits of the questions at issue.
We have stated on a former occasion that the ad-
vocates of the Amalgamated Society were evidently
desirous of keeping out of view the most obnoxious of
the demands which they are preferring—namely, that
which requires the expulsion of the labourers employed
in working, or rather in watching, self-acting ma-
chines, and filling up their places with members of
the society. They were, of course, far too cunning
to put forward so odious a demand in any general
form; but that it constitutes a part of their general
design there cannot be the slightest doubt on the
mind of any man who carefully attends to the facts
which have come before the public. At a meeting of
the workmen which was held in London on Tuesday
last, Mr. W. Newton, " a member of the executive
council of the Amalgamated Society," and apparently
the presiding spirit in, and the mouthpiece and advo-
cate of that society, denied with some warmth that
any such demand had been made or was thought of.
He said that the society—
" Disavowed all intention of removing any persons at
present in employment; there was nothing in the pre-
sent proceedings of the council that expressed or implied
any such intention; they had never asked for the re-
moval of a man from a machine, who was working at it,
who had earned a title to work at it by the time he had
been employed at it; and so far from the opinions of
their members being against those men, they had fos-
terei and encouraged them."
Now, this would be all very fine if it was true, but
we know perfectly well, from the demand made upon
Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, that it was not true, and
that the only fostering and encouragement which the
labourers in question will receive from the members
of the Amalgamated Society, when the latter can have
their own way, will be immediate expulsion from
their employment and their only means of earning a
livelihood.
It is ttue that Mr. Newton refers to the demands
made upon Messrs. Hibbert and Platt as being merely
a dispute between them and their own workmen,
" who demanded the abolition of over-time, and asked
for the discharge of a certain number of men whom
they called illegal men"—namely, the very men whom
the society has always " fostered and encouraged"—
so far at least as fair words, contradicted by foul ac-
tions, can go. " But the society," Mr. Newton says,
" had nothing to do with all this, and had never taken
part in the proceeding. He himself attended at Old-
ham in his individual capacity, to try to prevent a
strike which must be attended with so much misery."
Now, it may be, and no doubt is, very convenient
for Mr. Newton to divest himself of his official
capacity whenever he pleases, and to try to exonerate
the Amalgamated Society by throwing the blame of
making cruel and odious demands upon particular
bodies of workmen, but the public will naturally look
a little under the flimsy veil with which he strives to
shroud the proceedings at Oldham. It; may be very
true that the bolt was shot by Messrs. Hibbert and
Platt's workmen, but people will want to know who
forged it, and they will draw certain inferences from
the presence on the spot of Mr. Newton. What the
"individual capacity" of that gentleman (who lives in
London, and is not, we believe, a mechanic or engi-
neer at all) had to do with a dispute between a Lan-
cashire firm of machine makers and their workmen
he does not explaie, and we are at a loss to conjec-
ture. The public, however, will very naturally infer
that his presence was not a private, but an official act,
and that the demand with which he busied himself
was virtually the demand of the society of which he
is the active agent.
If it was not so, and if the labourers against whom
the demands of the Oldham workmen were levelled
were men whom the Amalgamated Society had always
" fostered and encouraged," how came it to pass that
the attempt to drive them from their employment was
not visited with the censures of the society ? and why
did Mr. Newton, " member of the council," &c., en-
deavour, as we know he did very recently, to induce
Messrs. Hibbert and Platt to comply with the demand
of their workmen, and to dismiss the men of whom
the latter complained ? The truth is obvious enough.
The demand for the expulsion of the labourers is as
much the act of the society as those for the abolition
of over-time and piece work, and nobody pretends to
doubt that if the workmen, in whose name it has been
made, should turn out because it is not complied

with, they will be sustained by the funds and the in-
fluence of the society. It was felt that such an odious
demand could not be made at once on all the em-
ployers without provoking a general resistance; and
arrangements were therefore entered into for attacking
the different establishments successively, commencing

Whatever M ammenw,oirnkisTmsheorirtw,
others may say upon the
subject, the publio very easily discern the real
truth of the matter, and
will, we imagine, pretty
strongly condemn the conduct of a body of men who
have combined for the ;purpose of depriving of their
ansployasent and their livelihood a numerous and
meritorious class of workmen, many of whom have
been engaged in their present avocations, without
question or objection, for ten, fifteen, and even twenty
years. If such tyranny can be practised with success
and impunity in England in the
present time, it is
some
high time that change
should be made either in
the law or in the mode of administering it. We
have no fears, however, for the result of the Coming
struggle.

A PRACTISED ROBBER.—A young man named
Thomas Read, said to be very respectably connected, has
been committed by the Gloucester magistrates for trial on
three charges of robberies committed at hotels at Gloucester
and Worcester. The prisoner assumed the character of a
commercial traveller. On Sunday evening he appeared at
the Angel Inn, Worcester, in that character, engaged a bed,
and was shown to his room, where he remained for some ten
minutes. In that brief space of time he contrived to pick
two locks, and to abstract from a box twelve silver teaspoons,
two pair of tablespoons, and a pair of salt spoons. Proceed-
ing by railway to Gloucester by the first train next morning,
he sold the plate and put up at the Greyhound Commercial
Inn, where he dined, and paid his bill. Before leaving,
however, he picked the lock of a drawer and box, and ab-
stracted 501. in gold, leaving other money in notes in the box.
A third robbery, of a greet coat, was committed at another
inn which he bad patronised. He was apprehended at the
Gloucester Railway Station as be was proceeding by a first-
class train to Birmingham.
WEST WHEAL ALFRED MINING COMPANY.--A
meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yes-
terday at the offices, 2, Broad-street ; Mr. Cole in the chair.
The report stated that the mine would be drained to the

terly meeting, it would be unwatered and in course of
