DEFENDING THE CITY!
Fortification of our Ports! increase of the Army ! Ballot for
Militia ! great orders for Firearms ! and inspection! of our warlike
resources! .

Whatever may be the opinion of onr citizens on these points, we
*do hot profess to know, but hope the authorities who defend our.
liberties, property, and lives, will act to the satisfaction of the peo-
Pfc.- and for the security of our industrial institutions.. It is the pro-
vince of E. MOSES and SON to defend-us from misfitting garments
and extravagant charges. If expenses aro incurred by our fortific•a-
lions, and they are charged on the people in rates or taxes, E.
MOSEs and SON have the satisfaction of stating that the small,
charge for clothing at their Establishments wily refund the cost to
the public, and when it is Jemembered they are the largest
merchant TAILORS in the kingdom. HATTERS, HOSIERS,
FURRIERS, &c. &c., and the same advantage Is secured in every
article, this tact will be sat-evident. By these means E. MOSES
and SON propose to met the exigencies of the nation. Their cloth-
ing will be found a perfect security from the cold and damp of the
Present season, a substantial fortification of the purses of the citi-
zens, providing them at the same time w.th the productions of the
iliet artists of thd age. The proper tbrtitications of the. C•ty will no
doubt be soon complete. The completeness of the estab,ishisents of
E. MOSES and SON has rendered them. popular in the City and in
the Country. Any description of dress fbr ecdinary or special occa-
sions, Travelling, Mourning, Festive, or Wedding, may be had at one
moment's notice, at their establishments, accompanied by a perfect
fit, and adapted to all ages. In one word, every article required for
a Gentleman's complete wardrobe, for ornament and comfort in a
Lady's dress, or useful clothing fur every Mechanic or Artisan, can
be obtained at E. 'MOSES and SON'S complete Outfitting Estab
lishments, at the lowest price, and of the finest and most substantial
quality.

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE •
INTENTIONS .OF THE EMPLOYERS.
Yesterday afternoon the EXecutive Council of the
Amal4aroated Society of Engineers, &c., held a special
mecting a-,t their otlioos, 25, Little Alie-street, White-
chapel, for the transaction of general business connected
with the dispute; Mr. Musto iu the chair.
Somo preliminary business of no- public interest hay:.
ing been disposed of,
Mr. ALLAN, genertal 'secretary, sated that ho wished
to call the attention of the couocil to a document of a
somewhat extraordinary, nature, which had recently been
issued in the shape of aPrinted circular, marked pri-
vatti and confidential," by the Executive Council of the
Employers' Association, sitting in Bucklersbury, to
their members, and with .which ho had been that- day
favouved by an employer whom he believed to be con-
nected with that association. Mr. Allan thou read as
follows c

Engineers, 30, Bucklershury, Jan. 2U, 1852.
Dear Sir,—The Executive Council met hero yester-
day, and were in full conference from eleven till four
o'clock. Much discussion arose aseo the time when and
the conditions upon which, a termination should be put
to the present unhappy state of estrangement betwixt
employers and employed, and sub-committee was ap-
pointedon this subjeet for conside-
ration by the association.- -
a

" There was a unanimous expre3,i,,a
of opinion that
that the cessation of, working
had been productive of the
most salutary effects, in bringing the artisans to a
proper and more considerate -

versions from the delusions of the Amalgamated So-
.

ponsibility„and it is felt that any hasty re-
sumption of work will deetroy, the whole utility, of the

masters.
" The committee. are in daily Communication with the
Manchester members, and a numerous deputation from
thence confer with the London executive here at the end
of this or early next week. Should anything material
transpire for your consideration, I shall take care to keep
you fully "advised.
" It is universally felt that it would have been better
never to have closed at all than to open premathrely, to
the effect of merely enabling the `ex mllgarnated Society
to ride over their present difficulty, and when ,vigilance
is lulled and the establishments opened to permit the
Executive Council to proceed with their machinations,
and to &lin the time when masters are least prepared
fur resistance to put their insidious practices into ope-
ration.
"..On the 2d of January instant, Mr. Newton,, the
ringleader of this movement, observed, ' That the men
took no notice and felt no excitement on the subject of a
combination among the employers, knowing that they
did not possess the elements of combination amongst
,them; but that there was such an inordinate love of
self that, if after having pledged themselves to one an-
other to close their works, they yet would, on the pro-
spect of the slightest pecuniary advantage to be gained,
break faith with one another, and throw their pledges
and combinations to the winds. The employers as a
body cared not ono pin for individual honour, or their
plighted word, but had sacrified the one and broken the
other over and over again.' Upon this calumny the men
have built their hopes, and now they find that the mas-
ters have honourably stood by each other the workmen
lire beginning to waver, to quarrel amongst themselves, ,
and to seek for reconciliation on the terms of the em
ployers.

_

" A little firmness, perseverance, and sacrifice now, by
maintaining the present attitude of inaction until some
considerable body of the artisans express satisfactorily
and unmistakeably their condemnation of the practices
drivener, and h
themasters to their present course,
t permanently, from the
future of the intolerable dictation to which they have
been subjected, and which was in rapid course of leading
to further and more peremptory measures of tyranny
and exaction on the part of the employed. Where there
is a will, the men will find a way of disavowing publicly
the practices , adopted in their name. All the meetings
and speeches of the workmen have been on one side, and
breathe a spirit of triumph and defiance: Until the steady
and well disposed call their meetings, and defy' the
Amalgamated Society; the evil is not cured; and the
employers must maintain a position which they have
adopted with serious deliberation, and will soon be justi-
fied by their succeiS, if they will on.y deserve it by a
patient continuance in joint inaction, 'and upholding the
goodsfaith they have hitherto kept with each other.
" I am, dear sir, your most obedient servant,
," SIDNEY SMITIC
The reading of this circular caused some little merri-
ment amongst the members of the council, and the gene-
ral opinion expressed upon the subject of its contents
was that the employers evidsutly regretted the conse-
quences of the step Whieh they had taken, and found-
ttipmselvos iu a position from which they foresaw some
difficulty in extricating themselves. Satisfaction was
generally expressed at the fact of having obtained pos-
session of an important document, intended to bo kept
secret; the more especially its the public were kept quite
in ignorance of the proceedid floyers'
gs c the
mittee.

Tie council wore then occupied by arrangements with
regard to the aggregate meeting of the iron trades, to
be he held this day at St. Martin's Hall, and to which
it was resolved that the following resolutions should be
submitted:—

" 1. Resolved—That the employers of operative en-

oenunciated their right to do what they
like , and denied the, operative the right
to do what he likes in ernploying and

an'unnonsubmditional submission, this meeting declares that
such ission would be at once both impolitic and
disgraceful.

ENGINEERS AND EMPLOYERS.
The
(From the Times.)
month is drawing to a close.. For more than a
fortnight h,ve the operative engineers new refused the
conditions of their employers, and in 50 or 60 of the
largest establishments in this kingdom the peremptory
mdinance is observed, that
" the engine should be
stopped and no prodtictivo work ea -ried on." The
"Executive Couficil" of the Arnal aetelledLdSociety declines
to withdraw the notices which (ILO
anti as the men profess to uphold the stoppage,
there in their decision
we can only conclude that they are resolved the pro-
secution of the schemes which th6' Ceu‘2l
commenced, and which in the society's rert thus
ti
comber last they so plainly acknowledge. What pur-
poses
that) schemes comprehend, and to what objet they are directed, we haie explained so repeatedly, ande
demonstrated by such unanswerable vouchers, that on
this point no more doubts can be sincerely entertained.
However reasonable or pr.ictieal bad been the demands in
themselves, it would have been absolutely ruinous to the
masters to have yields(' to a summons so made, so quali-
fied, and so aimed; but, in point of fact, even those very
requisitions which were selected by Mr. Newton for the
commencemen', of operations are indefensible even in
that view in which ho hypocritically endeavours to place
them.
The Council demanded by formal notice served up on
employers the summary abolition of "overtime?' Omitting,
now, for a moment, the true signification of this "ad-
vice" in the mouths of Mr. Newton and his colleagues,
we will state the whole question on its own merits for
the information of readers, who, often as they have
heat(' the expression, are, perhaps, not yet folly apprised
of its meaning. The ordinary working thy of au engineer
is considered to be ten hours—any time above this ex-
pended iu his master's service being 'overtime." Oc-
casionally the employers say to their men, "We have
some work in hand which must be delivered by a certain
period, and which cannot be finished unless you make
more than ten hours in your day. Instead of leaving,
therefore, at six or seven o'clock, you must stop till
eight or nine." 'This is the practice of "overtime'
which the masters have been summoned by the Amal-
gamated Society to abolish immediately. In Consider-
ing its bearings, the realer 'mkt first understand that
this overtime is not only paid for, but paid for at a
premium. Thus, for instauce, if an operative works
two hours of an evening overtime, he gots not only ad-
ditional wages for these two hours, but they are reckoned
to him as two hours and a quarter, showing a bonus or
gratuity in his favour of more than 12 per cent. As
the employer, therefore, must evidently be a loser by the
particular bargain which charges him extra wages for
what must, at the close of a hard day's work, be infe-
rior labour, why, it will be asked, is the practice
adopted? The men allege that the custom overtasks the
energies of those employed, and, by such an undue con-
centration of work, keeps other workmen in proportion
out of employment. They say that some are surfeited,
while others are starving, and in the assumed interest,
therefore, of the whole body, they demand the discon-
tinuance of the practice altogether.
On the side of the masters the question• takes this
form:—Tlsey say that the business of engineering is ex-
ceedingly irregular and peculiar. They cannot, like
other manufacturers, prepare a general stock against a
general demand. Their whole occupation is an aggre-
gate of particular orders, specially given, and in the
majority of instances requiring execution and delivery
by an appointed time. To perform these orders,
if they happen to exceed the ordinary strength of
the factory, they must either employ more hands or
work their hands extra time. The former of these al-
ternatives is that now dictated by the " Council," but
the masters make a very reasonable statement in reply.
They observe that such an increase of hands requires an
extension of premises, and that though the men might
be dismissed when the emergency had passed, the build-
ings would still remain, entailing outlay and loss. No
manufacturer can be expected to regulate his premises
by exceptional instead of average occasions. Even in
the interest of the men, too, they point out that the
" overtime" system is the safest. Suppose, for instance,
an employer keeping 250 workmen to receive an order
exceeding by one-fifth the strength of his establishment.
Hs has evidently the option either of employing the men
already in his pay 0n..-iifch overtime, or of increasing
their number by one fifth more hands. In the
the former ease he works them two additional hours,
but in the latter he would be introducing fifty
fresh men into the shop and neighbourhood,
-who must be thrown upon the labour market to
glut and depreciate it when the occasion for their ser-
vices had passed. Ile argues, therefore, that it is better
for the men to execute. if possible, all the work by the
regular strength of the shop than to adopt a system
which peestunee a body of unemployed operatives,
always floating loosely in the market, to be ready against
emergencies which may not occur three times in the
year. Moreover, it is alleged, in defence of the practice,
that it is sometimes absolutely indispensable, inasmuch
as only a e,iven nutntier of min can find standing room
at the work in hand, so that, if time is an otlscr, tc must
be made up by the extra labour of individuals.
So far, it must be allowed that these arguments are
good, and that they do in plain trail convict the demand
of the " Council" for the absolute and summary abolition of
a practice often necessary, and rarely without some jUsti-
fication. On the other hand, however, it is equally clear
that the employers of labour are under temptations to
pervert the expedient by carrying it systematically to
excess for the sake of their own gains. It is quite
conceivable that a master may maintain premises
too small for his average business in reliance on the re-
source provided by working his establishment overtime,
and that the men may be thus too constantly taxed for
his benefit or convenience. This, indeed, appears, at
first sight, to bo the view taken by the remonstrants, for
they protest simply against "systematic overtime."
When, however, we refer to the explanation given by the
" Cduncil" itself, we discover at once that the demand
has no such reasonable purport. Mr. Newton and his
accomplices maintain, we believe, that in no case' shall'
overtime be tolerated except on occasion of a break-
down, and for the aid rendered to the employer in these
straits
double. they generously stipulate that he should pay

The misfortune of the whole case, as Lord Cran-
worth sagaciously observed, is that, practically speaking,
neither masters nor men are left to make their own bar-
gains. If perfect liberty of action could be secured on
both sides there would be no ground left for dispute.
Every reader knows from his own experience that a car-
penter or a bricklayer, or a workman of any sort, elan
always be found but too glad to make 71 days in his
week by working two hours extra per day.' Tho chance
would be considered, as in truth it is in the case before
us, a most fortunate
,privilege by four men out of five,
What the " Council' profess to complain of is that'tliere
is no option given, but that a man is forced, at his seas:
ter's discretion, either to work overtime or to leave his
work altogether. This is certainly hard. But, on the
other hand, it is perfectly evident that Mr. W. Newton
and his " pickets" would never leave a man at liberty to
accept the chance before him. It is because they would
never permit him to say " Yee" that the masters forbid
him to say " No." If this destruative control were abo-
lished, a workman with few calls upon him, with an in-
cline:ion for self-improvement, or a liking for leisure,
might decline overtime work, while it is unquestionable
that others with large families, long foresight, or untiring
habits of industry, such as we constantly meet with,
would be ready and willing to undertake the duty. But
this is the intolerable point of the society's demand.
They say, not that any man ought to be free to decline
such work, but that no man shall be free:to tsi it; and
they would prevent John Brown and his employer from
working comfortably together b,-.cause John Smith
wants a share in the transaction.
We have, then, put the overtime question in a plain
light, though, as the reader is aware, no such favoura-
ble view can be taken of it iii the demands of the " Ex-
ecutive Council." Their object is not to. spur° work-
men, but to distribute work; not to modify the dealings
between employer and employed, but to force other
parties into employment against the desire of both. In
this it concerned the most vital interests of trade that
they should be resisted to the uttermost, but we should
rejoice to see that the consequent embarrassments were
confined to those immediately culpable. Is it absolutely
indispensable that all works should be stopped? Cannot
the masters open their establishments to those avowing
themselvea free to sell their own labour on their
own terms? Cannot unskilled labourers and non-
society men bo taken again into employment?
Wo think such an overture might be made, and if it were
so, instead of offering the outstanding operatives our own
advice, we would refer them to that given by " A Prac-
tical Mechanic," whose letter wo publish this morning.
They will there see, as in a looking-glass, the results in
which a strike like their own actually ends. As
as. possible their repetition of the attempt will mee st.uwh
a repetition of the consequences, and once more, there-
fore, we urgently advise them to be wise in time.

RESIGNATION OF ANOTHER OFFICER OP DEVONPORT
ORDINARY.-:-The retirement of Comuaander Al•Cor-
mick will, it is said, be followed by that of Lieutenant
Cull, who, like the preceding officer, feels he cannot
longer serve with satisfaction under the system of disci=
pline pursued towards his officers by Captain Nies.
It may be all very well for Lieutenant Cull to re-
sign an appointment; he is a gentleman of emit.,
derable private. propertya independent of ,his dense.,
mission, and a magistrate for the county of
Devon; but all officers of his rank are not so for-
tunately situated, and to many a man the resignation of
such an appointment would be impossible, without for
ever destroying his prospects in the service. It is,
therefore, 7 ather to be wished that Lieutenant Cull had
at once called upon the Admiralty for an inquiry into
the circumstances which have induced him to surrender
his appointment, in order that the public might be put
in possession of the facts, whether such conduct as that
complained of by Lieut. Cull meets with the approba-
tion of their Lordships. As a precautionary measure,
it is to be presumed the commodore has ordered the
Thisbe (the commander's ship) to b© removed to the top
of the harbour, about three miles from the St. George,
Captain Nias's ship.

the Motherbank:2"EXperieneed awful gales from

for three successive days; the most tempestuous weather,
with heavy squalls of rain and hail; from the 21st, 10,
A.M., to the 22d, 4, a..m., it blew a hurricane and mcst
furious cqualls, which laid the ship on her beam-ends.
Although far to the westward of Portland, and under an
over wheimince6 press of canvas, it was doubtful if we
could keep the ship off the land, but as the wind drew a
little more from the westward she was enabled to crawl
off, but was driven by daylight next morning as far east-
ward as the Isle of Wight, a distance of 40 miles. Bar.
