" If elegance of style and grace of description tend to make a work
of this kind popular, 'Emily Howard' possesses all the ingredients
to charm the sense and satisfy the most fastidious criticism. There
is a naivete about Mrs. Runlop's style which immediately attracts :
and this, combined with a plot of singular interest, and a clear man-
ner of working it out, has contributed to the completion of a tale of
immense power Lind singular attractions."—Messenger.

GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON
TAVERN,
On Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR In tho

Chair,
For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy.
A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has sent
us his notes, from which we make a few extracts.
I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi-
dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have
suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched-
ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from
the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it
would afford you to see all your' show men, and especially our
mechanics and industrious artisans, who it has just been said " Often
become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having
paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more
particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject
of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E.
MOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac-
cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see
these, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding coun-
try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can
labour, a fund on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul-
tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you
have to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution
seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement,
and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent
by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at
the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will
enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans.
Economy and frugality are the best preventatives of destitution
and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The
most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere
is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to
all classes, purchasing every article of Dress •at E. MOSES and
SON'S, Aldgate and Minorles, or New Oxford-street and Hart-
street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or
great
destitution, leaving the people a large amount of money purely the
result of superior quality and hew prices. The prices being more
than 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an entire
saving of cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount
irne a family
expenditure—

on any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSES and
the fact of their being Tailors, Hatters, Hosiers, &c., &c., to the No-
SON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, not only from
bility, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion,
and the economisers of the money of our distinguished and wealthy
t
citizens, and endeavour to extend the benefits of such a reduction
all classes under your influence and engaged in your service, by
directing them to go to E. MOSES and SON for every article of
dres4, which will secure them from the sorrows of destitution and
the humiliation of mendicancy.

French 74-gun ship Pegase, whose loss, besides being
seriously damaged, amounted, out of a crew of 700 men,
to 80 killed and wounded.

Mudge was dispatched in an open vessel to India, with
a crew of only 14 men. Being awarded a second pro-
metal commission, Nov. 24, 1797, he obtained command
Nov. 8, 1798, of the Fly, 16, and while in that sloop, in
which he continued until posted Nov. 15,
1800, he effected the capture of the French
privateers La Glaneur, of 6 guns and 32 men, and La
Trompeur, and was all but lost on an immense
island of ice during his passage home from Halifax with
dispatches from his Royal Highness the Duke of Kent.
His subsequent appointments were:-April 1, 1801, to
La Constance, 24; Sept. 23, 1802, to the Blanche, of
44 guns; Nov. 18. 1805, to the 131103aiX, 36; and July 4,
1814 ( having left the Phceaix in May, 1810), to the
Valiant, 74. In La Constance Captain Mudge, in the
spring of 1801, received the thanks of the British mer-
chants and consuls at Lisbon and Oporto for the service
he had rendered them in safely convoying a fleet from
Falmouth to Portugal, and also for the activity be had
exhibited in collecting some vessels at Viana, laden with
brandy, which could not have otherwise been got ready
to go home under his protection. About the same period
he captured the Spanish national cutter El Duides, of 8
guns and 69 men, and lugger privateer Venture, of 2
guns and 27 men. In July, 1801, with the assistance of
the Stork, 18, and of the boats of the two ships, we find
Camara
Spanish making prize near Cape Ortegal, of El '
Spanish privateer of 22 guns and 110 men, and of her
consort, a vessel mounting 10. guns. La Constance
was subsequently engaged in conveying a num-
ber of disbanded foreign soldiers from Lyming-
ton to the Elbe. At the close of 1803, Captain
Mudge, then in the Blanche, was employed at the
blockade of St. Domingo, where, in less than a month,
he captured and destroyed 24 of the enemy's vessels. In
the course of 1804-5 he had the increased good fortune
to take, .independently of a large number of merchant-
men, the Gracieuse and Amitie, French national vessels
of 14 buns each, the Dutch schooner Nimrod, of 4 guns,
and the French privateer Lo Hasard,of 3 guns and 58 men.
On July 19, in the latter year, however, the Blanche was
herself captured (after an action of 45 minutes, and a
loss, out of 215 men, of 8 killed and 15 wounded, and
when on the verge of sinking) by a powerful French
squadron, consisting of La Topaz© frigate, of 44 guns
and 410 men, one sloop of 22 guns and 236 men, a
corvette of 18 guns and 213 men, and a brig of 16 guns
and 123 men. Under such circumstances, Captain
acquitted by a Mudge was, of course, honourably
court-
martial of all blame in the loss of his ship; and not only
acquitted but eulogised for his very able and gallant
conduct. He afterwards served, as above, in the Phoenix
and Valiant, on the Bay of Biscay, Lisbon, and Brazilian li
stations. The latter ship he left in August, 1815. He
became a rear-admiral July 22, 1830; and a vice-admiral
Nov. 23, 1841.

THE LOSS OF THE AMAZON.

PLYMOUTH, MoNDAY.—Yesterday the Rev. John
Hatchard preached in the evening on behalf of the un-
fortunate persons who have lost their relatives through
the destruction of the Amazon. The church was densely
crowded, as in the morning, many persons having ex-
pected again to hear the Rev. William Blood, in which
they were disappointed. There was a collection again
at the close of the service, when 131. was subscribed.
The Rev. W. Blood preached at the same time in St.
Andrew's Chapel, on the invitation of the Rev. George
Hadow, the incumbent; the chapel, as may be supposed,
was densely crowded, and there was at one time
scarcely any passing through the street, from the press
of people anxious to get in. The Reverend Gentleman
again gave a description of the scene which he wit-
nessed on board, and was listened to with the deepest
interest by all present. At the close there was another
collection, when, the amount subscribed was 371. 69.;
making the total of the three services above 103/.
The Rev. Mr. Blood preaches again in St.' Andrew's
Church on Wednesday morning. We ought to have
stated that when the passengers arrived here they were
waited upon by the Rev. John Hatchard, who offered
them the use of his house, and the advance of any
moneys that they might require.. The Spanish gentle-
man, &sailor Juan de Cima, it is said, lost 18,000 dollars.
Messrs. Fox, the agents of the West India Mail Steam
Packet Company, to whom the Ammon belonged, also
offered their assistance ; and the Rev. W. Blood was
very kindly taken care of by Samuel Dory, Esq., who
supplied him with clothes and whatever he required.
The reverend gentleman has been and is still staying at
his friend's house. Senhor Juan de Cima left the Royal
Hotel on Sqnday morning, and proceeded by train to
London. In the evening Mr, Kilkelly also left for Bris-
tol. This gentleman is an agent at Barbadoes to the
firm of Gibbs, Bright, and Co.
We are glad to state that the passengers who arrived
here met with the greatest kindness. Mr. Kilkelly told
us last night that if he were to stay till he had partaken
of the hospitality of all from whom he had received in-
vitations, he should never be able to leave the town. He
promised, however, to return here before long.
The following official communication will afford con.
siderable satisfaction:—

" Admiralty, Jan. 19, 1852.
" Gentlemen,—ln reply to your letter of the 17th
.natant, I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners
of the Admiralty to acquaint you that an investigation
(independent of that now going on) into all the circum-
stances of the loss of the Amazon will be made by the
Board of Trade, with whom the duty of making such
inquiry rests—l am, &c.,
" W. A. B. HAMILTON.
" To Messrs. Nash and Nash, Colonial Agents,

Westminster.
.It will, doubtless, be interesting to our renders to
learn that a piece of pine wreck, about twenty feet long
and about five feet wide, apparently a portion of a pad-
dle-box, has been washed ashore on Swanpool beach,
near Falmouth. The wood appears new, and bears
marks of fire, and probably formed a part of the Ama-
zon. The preventive men are watching for other parts
of the same wreck which may be washed on this coast,
and will, of course, keep a sharp look-out for the bodies
of any of the unfortunate sufferers who may have pe-
rished 'in the fearful catastrophe of the destruction of
the Amazon.

•
THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
(From the Times).
The " Executive Council " of the operative engineers
appear very properly impressed with the results of Lord
Ceanworth's answer to their application. This reply, so
clear and incontestable in its arguments, so conclusive in
its judgment, and withal so benevolently expressed and
delivered, must convince every sensible workman that
in following Mr. Newton and his colleagues he has no
ground to stand upon. If "co-operative shops,"
against all the probabilities of calculation and experince,
can be made to succeed, the working engineers will, of
course, get the benefit of the venture; but they can ex-
pect no support in the appeal which they have made to
the public; and their demands, as Lord Cranworth has
informed them, are not only inconsistent with common
justice between employers and employed, but are abso-
lutely beyond the power of lei;islation, whatever might
be a legislator's desire.
To modify, if possible, the effects of so decisive an
opinion, • the " General Secretary" of the society ad-
dressed us a letter, in which ho alleges that Lord Oran-
worth's conclusions " rested upon a view of the case
and which
included demands the society had never made,
which
,were opposed to their o inions " The de-
mand here alluded to is that concerning opinions."
employ-
ment of unskilled labourers. On the denial thus ad-
vanced we will presently speak further, but, for the
main argument, it is quite sufficient to
state' that Lord
Cranworth's conclusions were wholly irrespective in their
force and substance of this particular pretension. If
the society never preferred such a request, then no such
request exists to be tested by Lord Cranworth's rule,
but his Lordship's decision was not only final, but gene-
ral. He laid down the common sense of the whole case,
whatever forms it might assume. " All the relations,"
said he, " between employers and employed are, or
ought to be, those of perfectly free agents." It matters
nothing whether these relations concern the description
of particular workmen, or the hours of work, or the rate
of wage. Every one of these questions is a mere ques-
tion of bargain. Every engagement between master and
man is a free and open contract between twaindividuala
on terms to be decided by themselves. "I do not won-
der," said Lord Cranworth, "that the masters refuse to
agree to any arbitration that is to impose upon them any
restriction whatever as to the terms of such contracts.
No one ought to presume to define such terms, any more
than to bind the men in like manner." Now, it must be
pretty evident that these plain conclusions have nothing
whatever to do with the character of any particular
demand. Whether the men did or did not include in
the points for which they desired an arbitration the em-
ployment of certain kinds of labour, is altogether beside
the question. The opinion of Lord Cranworth was this,
—that no arbiter could interfee e between employers and
employed, or ought to do so if he could; and with this
the opinion of the public entirely coincides.
But now, as the " General secretary" has ventured
upon an overt denial of en important point, and as three
independent gentlemen have tendered him a species of
support in his abnegation, we will once more revert to the
subject. " The Amalgamated Society," writes Mr.
Allan, "do re ask for the discharge of unskilled la-
bourers." "We know perfectly well," adds Lord
Goderich, for himself and his two colleagues, " that you
made no such demand." Now, if this disclaimer merely
affirms that in the particular notice with which the
operations of the society commenced no express demand
fur the dismissal of unskilled labourers was contained,
we are ready to acknowledge a fact which, with the
documents actually before the public, could never have
been brought into dispute. The demands made in the
circular summons of November were for the abolition of
overtime and piecework only; but to assert upon this evi-
dence that the society has never sought to restrict the em-
ployment of "labourers," or to compass the removal of
these unskilled hands, is a piece of equivocation so disre-
putable that we must perforce seek for some separation
on such a point between Viscount Goderich and Mr.
W. Newton. In May last the society did send a depu-
tation to Oldham, expressly for the purpose of seeing
that their own resolves, their own deliberate decisions,
were carried out by Messrs. Hibbert's men; and the
members of this deputation signed a document which
only allowed Messrs. Hibbert the interval between that
period and Christmas for transferring all planing,
shaping, and boring machines from the management of
labourers " entirely into the hands of the mechanics."
'lho original copy of this document we have seen. In
July Mr. W. Hemm, the Secretary of the Society at
Manchester, addressed to Messrs. Parr, Curtis, and
Madeley, from the branch-office of the society in that
town, ten demands on behalf of their men, of which
eight had reference to the employment of unskilled
hands, and to the partial concession of these
demands Messrs. Parr and Co. were coerced.
The preface to the society's printed rules speaks of
the " vested interests " of skilled engineers in engineer-
ing labour, and of the " encroachments to be restricted"
by the determined efforts of the society. The rules
themselves limit actually the number of apprentices, and
we presume Lord Goderich will not affirm that they
who circumscribe so jealously the admission of " legal"
apprentices, for fear of stocking the labour-market,
would permit the market to be stocked by men who had
never been apprentices at all. Furthermore, during this
very discussion, have not the denials of the " Council "
on this point been moat raanineetedly qualifitd and
guarded? Did not their speakerS,say that they made no
demand for the " present dismissal of labourers?" Did
not the men at Southampton make the very same re-
serve? Did not Mr. Newton himself limit his gracious
indulgence to the labourers who had " earned a title "
to their'machines, and are not the unskilled hands them-
selves, as shown by their speeches at Manchester
on Monday last, perfectly impressed with the truth of
their position? In the face of all this evidence, is it not
the veriest jugglery in the world to assert that the so-
ciety " has not made a demand" to which it is absolutely
Committed by its own rules and transactions, simply
because it has not thought fit to include it in the parti-
cular notice commencing its operations? However, to
bring this point to an issue once for all, we here challenge
the " Council" of the society to a public avowal that any
labouring man in these kingdoms is free to bestow his
labour on any honest work in which he can find employ-
ment, and in which he and his employer can come to
satisfactory terms. If they will make this acknowledg-
ment they will not only clear themselves on the point in
dispute, but they will have made a great advance towards
a settlement of the whole quarrel. If they will not, it is
hopeless for them to attempt any delusion of the public
by quibbles or evasions.
It was not without some surprise that we observed
the inheritor of at least a Ministerial name affix his
signature to a document implying some species of par-
ticipation in the purposes of Mr. W. Newton and his
colleagues, but we avail ourselves of the occurrence to
bring the question more closely to issue for the conclu-
sive information of the country at large. Lord Goderich,
Mr. Hughes, and Mr. Vansittart have plainly no objects
in view but those of pacification and benevolence. It
would be injustice to raise a question on such a point,
and we trust, therefore, that they will attend to the ob-
servations subjoined. The Amalgamated Society, to
whose operations they are giving a partial support, has
commenced a deliberately-planned scheme of aggression
against the employers of engineering labour for the an-
ticipated advantages of those employed. Its views in-
clude especially a forced distribution of labour among
its members, and the prevention of any 0351%
making more than what are estimated a six
days' work in a week, however stimulated
lestpY
circumstances, or however industriously inclined,_
there should be a smaller amount of labourava available for
the men on the society's lists. It endeavours, moreover,t
as
high as
to keep the market of engineering labour
possible by forcibly stopping the supply and while it
(;whands
to all but
would restrict employment, as we have sh e
thos ands as few
its own licensed hands, it would keep
as possible, and maintain them in the greatest rate of
wage for the smallest rate of work. It has assumed to
control not only the labour which masters might employ,
but the wages by which this labour might be paid, and
has enforced its assumptions by the withdrawal of
workmen previously well satisfied with their engage-
ments. Extending its views by degrees it has resolved
on a general organization of labour, and has opened
the campaign with the two demands considered
least likely to create alarm, candidly avowing that
other measures were to follow by Which " lasting
social advantages" would be secured. These demands
it now advocates by arguments grossly
insincere, and
with either a concealment or denial of
the purposes re-
cently acknowledged to remain behind. Such ' l the
Amalgamated Society, such its aims, suchand thes posi-
tion in which it unexpectedly discovers itself. Each and
all of these propositions we holdl
ourselves prepared to
the
establish, either by the printed rules of the society itself,
or by published documents of the committees out of
which the society was Constituted, signed by the very
members who compose
its present council. We submit,
therefore, a reasonable
alternative to the three gentle-
men who have h d
e arge themselves with the uasi
a -patron-
age of the society ings. Will they gainsay the asser-
tions we have made, and invite us to the recapitulation
of proofs already '
given,
or will they assert that, things
being so, the Amalgamated Society deserves the support
of the community in its present efforts?

MR
. —ISRAELI'S POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY OF
GEORGE BENTINCK.—A third and revised edition of this
work has just appeared. " A political biography of Lord
George Bentinck, by Mr. Disraeli (says the Dublin Univer-
sity Magazine), must needs be a work of interest and im-
portance. Either the subject or the writer would be suffi-
cient to invest it with both—the combination surrounds it
with peculiar attractions. In this most interesting volume
Mr. Disraeli has produced a memoir of his friend in which
he has combined the warmest enthusiasm of affectionate
attachment with the calmness of the critic, and in which he
has not only added to his reputation, but we verily believe
must increase his influence as a politician."
WRECK OF THE SHIP SCOTIA AT LABUAN.—
Accounts from Labuan, received by the Hon Company's
steamer Pluto, state that the ship Scotia, of 790 tons, of and
from-Bombay to China, with cotton, was lost on a small
island to the north of Labuan about the 18th November last.
The captain and some Europeans and lascars arrived at La-
buan in a boat, The Lady Rallies, which was landing coals
at port Rallies, immediately proceeded to the scene of the
wreck, and had not returned at latest dates. No lives were
lost at the time of the wreck, but the ship is reported to
have been full of water when left.— Singapof e Free Press,
