MARKET i'4EWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
tolerably well, but not to ray heavily, supplie with
English Wheat, in which a fair amount of business was
transacted, at very full prices. Foreign Wheats were
held at extreme quotations. Malting Barley com-
manded is per quarter more money ; and the value of
grinding and distilling sorts were well supported. Malt
and Oats were quite as dear ; but Beans and Pees com-
-manded very little ittention. Indian Corn and Flour
realised very full prices.;
Advices from the Paris maket state that 60 francs per
157 kil. was paid for fine Flour on Saturday. The mar-
kets in the Baltic and Black Sea have been very firm for
all articles of Grain, chiefly fbr continental use and
consumption. Ia the United States, the Export demand
has fallen off.

The receipts of English Grain up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received
317 quarters Wheat, 25 Barley, 4,517 Oats, 950 Beans,
.206 Peas, 50 Tares, 4,585 Linseed, 1,549 Rapeseed, 67
sundry Seeds, 1,787 sacks and 17,277 barrels Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market from Kent the
arrivals of Wheat, coastwise, were by no means exten-
sive, and in but middling condition, arising from the
dampness of the atmosphere. From Esex, Suffolk, &c.,
the receipts were very limited. By land carriage from
Norfolk and the midland counties the supply was but
moderate, hence the show of samples of both red and
white was trifling, compared with some previous weeks.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of both town and
country buyers was far from numerous, the demand for
all kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled firm, at an
advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of
fully is per quarter, and a good clearance was speedily
effectedl Several parcels, in the whole about 1,200
quarters, sold for forward delivery from Cambridge-
shire, &c., at the above improvement.
Scarcely a sample of fresh Foreign Wheat was
brought forward; but we were fairly supplied with
granaried samples, chiefly of light weights. The trans.
actions in flue qualities of Dantzic were on the increase,
at in some instances a rise of 18 per quarter-50s having
been paid. In the middling and interior kinds only a
moderate business was doing; yet importers were very
firm.

Very few floating cargoes have lately arrived otirdn
theia
Indian
Corn yet the demand was devoid of animation.
Corn afloat was held for rather more money.
Scarcely any Foreign Barley was on the market; and
the show of Boglish was by no means extensive. The
trade ruled firm, and prices were quite Is per quarter
higher than on this day se'nnight.
Malt, the show of which was moderate, sold at very
full currencies.
The quantity of home-grown and foreign Oats being
comparatively small, the demand for that deseripti, n of
produce was steady, and last week's prices were well
.. supported.
Beans, though in fair average supply, sold steadily, at
Extreme quotations.
We had a good demand for Peas, at fully late rates.
Some of the millers having refused to sell, except at
higher figures, the transactions in Flour were not very
extensive. The nominal top figure for the best English
Was 40s. per 280 lbs.

1849, 1,406; and in 1848, 965 head.

offences, committed in respect of a work or production of
home origin.
Art. 8. Neither authors nor translators, nor their
lawful representatives or assigns, shall be entitled in
either country to the protection stipulated by the pre-
ceding articles, nor shall copyright be claimable in either

tion simply by a notice from the author, as prescribed
by Art. 5. But if any article or work hich has origi-
nally appeared in a newspaper or periodical shall after-
wards be published in a separate form, it shall then be-
come subject to the stipulations of the present article.
Art. 9. With regard to any article other than books,
prints, maps, and musical publications, in respect to which
protection may be claimable under Art. 1 of the present
convention, it is agreed that any other made of registra-
tion than that prescribed in the preceding article, which
is or may be applicable by law in one of the two coun-
tries to any work or article first published in such coun-
try, for the purpose of affording protection to copyright
in such work or article, shall be extended on equal terms
to any similar work or article first published in the other
country.
Art. 10. During the continuance of this convention the

It is agreed that the rates of duty above specified shall
not be raised during the continuance of the present con-
vention; and that if hereafter, during the continuance
of this convention, any reduction of these rates should
be made in favour of books, prints, drawings, or musical
works published in any other country, such reduction
shall be at the same time extended to similar articles
published in France.
It is moreover understood that all works published in
France, of which any part may have been originally pro-
duced in the United Kingdom, shall bee i nsidered as
" works originally produced in the United Kingdom, and
republished in France," and as such shall be subject to
the duty of fifty shillings per cwt., although the same
may contain also original matter not produced in the
United Kingdom; unless such original matter shall be
at least equal in bulk to the part of the work originally
produced in the United Kingdom, in which case the
work shall be subject only to the duty of fifteen shillings
per cwt.
Art. 11. In order to facilitate the execution of the pre-
sent convention, the two high contracting parties engage
to communicate to each other the laws and regulations
which may hereafter be established in their respective
territories, with respect to copyright in works or pro-
ductions protected by the stipulations of the present
convention.
Art. 12. The stipulations of the present convention
shall in no way affect the right which each of the two
high contracting parties expressly reserves to itself, of
controlling or of prohibiting, by measures of legislation
or of internal police, the sale, circulation, presentation,
or exhibition of any work or production, in regard to
which either country may deem it expedient to exercise
that right.
Art. 13. Nothing in this convention shall be con-
strued to affect the right of either of the two high con-
tractiog parties to prohibit the importation into its own
dominions of such books as, by its internal law, or
under engagements with other States, are or may be
declared to be piracies, or infringements of copyright.

Great Britain and France, signed at Paris on the 3d of
November last, for the mutual protection, in the two
countries, of copyright in works of literature and of art;
the respective instruments of ratification were produced,
and after having been carefully compared and found to
be exactly conformable to each other, were exchanged
in the usual form.

1. Notwithstanding, however, that by terms of Art.

Tile steamship Cherokee had arrived at New York
with the Californian mails of the sth ult., audupwards
of 2,000,000 dollars in gold dust.
The steamship Golden Gate, from San Francisco,
had arrived at Panama with 2,113,084 dollars in
golddust, 373,881 dollars of which are for the Bank
of England.

The— New York mail had not arrived at Boston
when the Canada sailed.

A memorial, praying that all relations between the
United States and France might be suspended, was
laid on the table of the House by a vote of 21 to 14.
Nothing of importance had transpired in Congress,
if we except the action of the House of Representa-
tives on the Kossuth question. The House having
passed a resolution to receive him, the "nation's
guest" was presented with an address of welcome, but
he was not permitted to reply.
We take the following from the special corre-
spondence of the New York Herald:—
" WASHINGTON, JAN. 5, 1852.—Kossuth did not ad-
dress the Senate. The Committee informed him that
the Senate did not expect that he would deliver an ora-
tion, and he accordingly consented to remain silent.
"In his interview with the Secretary of the Interior,
on Saturday, he alluded to his intervention project. The
Secretary replied that his department was devoted exclu-
sively to home affairs, and that all questions of foreign
policy came through the State department.
" Kossuth then declared that the opposition which he
met at the hands of Congress and the Executive, con-
vinced him that his mission to this country had com-
pletely failed. He felt deeply disappointed at the recep-
tion he had met with in Washington. It was wholly
unexpected.
" He inquired, in case a body of Hungarians desired to'
settle in the United States, if they could get a tract of
land? Mr. Stuart remarked that Congress had the dis-
position of the public lands, but that he had no doubt a
tract of land would be granted, if desired. Kossuth cor-
rected the Secretary, and explained that he did not want
the land as a gift—they would pay for it—but only de-
sired that it should be so located that the Hungarians
could live together in a separate community.
"At the President's dinner, on Saturday, no speeches
were made."

parishes in Cambridgeshire to collect evidence and furnish
him with it before the Ist of February.

DEATH OP Ma. T. HUDSON TURNER.--Mr. T.
Hudson Turner, one of the ablest of British archmologists,
and a contributor to this journal,._ died o_f. consumption on
the 14th instant, at the age of oi. By his work "On the
Domestic Architecture of the Middle Ages,' of which the
st volume was published in the spring of last year; by
his' " Introduction to the Household Accounts;' and by
some of his admirable contributions to the Archalogical
Journal, his name will be heard of hereafter. Among his
friends the regret will continue to be felt, that so much
youthful ardour should have been unpaired by ill health,
that so much knowledge as he possessed should die whiz
him, and that no larger account should remain than those
works which Mr. Hallam has quoted and praised in his sup-
plemental volume to his " Middle Ages. '—.4thenceum.
The Earl of Albemarle will move the Address in

N IWTON, who vela loudly cheered on rising to
address- the meeting, commenced by describing th fa-
vourabl e 3 reception with which ho had been met at the
differer it meetings which he had attended, and at which
a desie t bad been unanimously expressed to support the
positio a assumed by the Executive Council of the Amal-
gamate id Society. He had visited Bury, Oldham, and
Manch es 'ter; and everywhere the same feeling had pre-
vailed— es most important fact, when it was remembered
that thus ) districts comprised between 3,000 and 4,000
members out of the 12,000 of which thosociety coneieted
) The all-engrossing subject of attention was
tho erative chop in Lancashire, for the purpose of
which tie e Executive Council were in treaty. He had
seen the proprietors and po,seFeed himself of all neces-
sary pa- e ticutars, and he could assure them that it was
one whi ph would be capable of affording employment
fur I,oc 0 men.—(Hear, hear.) He would not say that
it could employ 1,000 men with the pr,sent tools, for
such vvf t 3 not the case. It could now only employ 500
men at one time, but by adopting a system of relays—
each se t of men working eight hours—The shop might
bo kept, .constantly open, and 1.500 men might be so
employe el; and in that ceso there view orders now on
hand w; V.cia would find work for three months for the
whole 1,.:500 men.—(Cheers.) Bat more than thie was
in their :favour, as he was assured by the proprietor that,
If the virasent crisis continued,
he could without trouble
obtain work enough for a twelvemonth.—(Cheers.) Let
the 10,000/. required by the executive be voted, and the
balance .of the amount necessary to complete the purchase
and can ey on the concern might easily be obtained from
men wh o had expressed themselves favourable to the
movemt int. The work done at the establishment was of
a simile r nature to that done by Messrs. Hilbert and
Platt th .emselves, and it must not be forgotten that the
fathers of some of the members of that firm had
been mere operatives; they had started, perhaps,
with a eetepital of not more than 1,0001., and yet
they now employed 1,500 men; the value of their
establishment was supposed to be not less than 150,0001,
and their profits had last year been returned to the In-
come-tax Commissioners as 45,0001.—(11ear, hear.)
These profits were high, and they came from the labour
of the 1,..500 workmen, and if divided among them would
add 301. to each man's annual income.—(Hear, hear.)
Such a result from such a beginning justified them in
being sanguine upon the success of the co-operative
system • :for if 150,000/. would yield an annual profit of
45,0001., :and had arisen from a small outlay such as he
had intineated in the case of Messrs. Ilibbert and Platt,
what might they not do in starting with a capital, as
they could do, of 40,0001. or 50,0001., when the men
were man:reed by the incentive of working for themselves?
—(Hear, hear.) Ho had never in his life seen so much
enthusiasm displayed by any body of men as had been
displayed by the Manchester men on this subject, and
the same spirit had been displayed at a meeting of the
iron trade which he had attended at Bury on Satur-
day night. The men there expressed an earnest de-
sire that the executive council would push-on this matter
without waiting to see What the employers might seem
disposed to do; that in any event the co-operative
system should be carried out, so that they might
reap the profits of their own labour.—(Hear, hear.) As
a proof that in those districts a feeling of complete con-
fidence in the Executive existed, he would mention that
the men of Manchester alone, reaming in work, last
night subscribed upwards of 2001. towards the support
of these who had been thrown out—(Cheers)—and that
sum would have been much larger but for the fact that
several large firms paid wages fortnightly, and last night
was not pay night. Next week, however, those men
would pay a double amount. He hoped the London
districts would be animated by the same spirit—that
they would raise small sums and form small shops, as
they could by that means do more to settle the question
than could be done by waiting to be sent for by their em-
ployers.—(Hear, hear.)
Several other persons addressed the meeting upon
the state of the movement in their respective districts,
and it appeared from their statements that money in
support of the strike is flowing in from all quarters.
On Saturday night the following resolution, passed
at a meeting of boiler makers,, held at the Windmill
Tavern, Limehouce, was forwarded to Mr. Allan, by the
secretary of the Boiler Makers' Society ;
" Resolved,—That this meeting of boiler makers,
having nothing whatever to do with the dispute be-
tween the masters and the Amalgamated Society, have
been unjustly thrown out of employment by the mas-
ters, and viewing the present proceedings of the mas-
ters and believing that they have a tendency ultimately
to disorganise us as a society, do pledge ourselves not
only to protect ourselves by not signing any document
the masters may bring out, but will also do our utmost
to further the interests of the Amalgamated Society;
and as we get employ will pay one day's wages out of
six to assist our members out of employ through the
master's strike.”---(Carried unanimously, Jan. 15, 1852,
at a general meeting.)
The sum of 50/. was received on Saturday night in
support of the men thrown out of employment, being
principally composed of contributions of a day's pay
out of the week's wages from the workmen in two large
factories.

THE MANCHESTER ENGINEERS.
The operative engineers of Manchester had another
public meeting on Friday evening at Carpenters-hall,
which was addressed by Newton and others, but there
was no new feature given to the proceedings. They are
very orderly, and scarcely a word escapes any of the
working men which could be excepted to, as regards
the language and feeling with which they con-
duct their meetings. A meeting of the operatives of
Bury, at which place the masters have not struck, came
to the following resolutions:—
" That in the opinion of this meeting it is desirable to
abridge the hours of labour to 10 hours per day; but
that no alteration in the custom of any shop can be made
of permanent advantage to either masters or men, unless
the same eau be made by the consent of both parties.
" That while we believe it is impossible entirely to
dispense with working overtime, we would respectfully
request our employers to consider the propriety of making
no moro than is imperatively requisite, in case of broken
down and repair jobs."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—With reference to the letter of Lord Cranworth
in the Times of Saturday, and to the leading article
which accompanies it, allow me to hand you for publi-
cation the inclosed letter from Viscount Goderich, Mr.
Hughes, and Mr. Vansittart, and to say that Lord Cran-
worth was never appointed or selected as arbitrator by
the executive council; that he never heard the evidence,
that, in fact, he refused to accept the office of arbitrator,
and that the conclusions he had come to rest upon a
view of the case which includes demands we have never
made and which are opposed to our opinions. Once
for all, we say that if an arbitration can be agreed on,
we will bow to the decision; but it must be an arbi-

this is shortly called the discharge of illegal hands. Such
was the cartel which the ambassador of the Executive
Council was instructed to deliver in May, and on the 6th
01 January thereafter he signs a manifesto that the
Executive Council have " never demanded the dismissal of
persons at present working self-acting machines." It is
by this paltry system of wretched equivocation that the
honourable character of the respectable working classes
is made to suffer in public opinion through the quirks of
leaders who are totally unworthy to represent an honest,
intelligent, but unsuspecting constituency. Why cannot
this Council " speak the truth, and shame the devil ?"
If they prevaricate and quibble after such a fashion, how
can they expect that employers can trust to any epee-
meat they may make ? We repeat it, earnestly and anxi-
ously, the seven sages of Little Alie-street, are no true re-
flex of the character of hard-working lay members of the
Union; and the latter have no title to assume that they
are the representatives of the opinions and feelings of
the great body of the operatives. These latter are
shrewd, enlightened, and honest enough to withhold
their sympathy from an attempt by dictation to mast( rs,
and intimidation of the employed, to reduce to practical
experiment the wild vision of that Parisian Socialism,
which began by banishing, at the peril of their lives, all
English workmen from
