AMERICAN NEWS.

ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.
LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.
By the arrival in the Mersey, shortly before ten

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 importar ice 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 follovving from the special corre-
spondence of the New York Rerald:—
" WASHINGTON, JAN. 5, 1852.—Kosanth did not ad-
dreaa the Senate. The Committee informed him that
the Senate did not expeet 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 ho 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." _ _ _

A portion of the Secretary of the Treasury's report
is published.
The Californian advices mention that extensive
limestone and marble formations had beeen discovered
near Sacramento. In some parts of the country snow
bad fallen. The mining intelligence was favourable.
The yield in Mariposa county was enormous.
An outbreak occurred in the city of Mexico on
the 16th ult., arising out of the passing of the Tariff
Reduction Bill. The excitement was directed against
foreigners, many of whose stores were destroyed.
Congress had adjourned, after authorizing a loan of
2,000,000 dolls.
The insurgents under Caravajal had relinquished
Ceralvo and retreated into the. American territory.
The steamer St. George had been bought at New
York, to ply between Liverpool, Cork, and St. John's,
New Brunswick.

Advices from Valparaiso to the 20th of November
mention that the revolutionary troubles continued.
From Havannah we have advices to the 30th ult.
In freights there was nothing doing. Molasses 3 reels
per keg.
The New York money-market was more plenti-
fully supplied, and there was a tendency to lower
shares. Government securities and State stocks were
in good demand, at firm prices. Foreign exchange
is dull. Bills on London, 110 to 110 e; Paris, 5.10
to 5.15; Amsterdam, 411 to 411; Bremen, 78 to 781;
and Hamburgh, 36i to 361.
The cotton market was very firm; prices had ad-
vanced I cent per lb. since the sailing of last steamer.
The flour and wheat trades were dull and inactive.
Indian corn was in better request.
Freights to London —20 i.; measurement goods
255. to 303., heavy goods 20s. to 355., cheese 30s. per
ton, and flour is. 9d. per barrel.

DEATH OF MR. T. HUDSON TURNER.--MT. T.
Hudson Turner, one of the ablest of British archmologists
and a contributor to this journal, died of consumption on
the 14th instant, at the age of 37. By his work "On the
Domestic Architecture of the Middle Ages," of which the
rstvolume was published in the spring of last year; by
his " Introduction to the Household Accounts ;' and by
some of his admirable contributions to the and
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 impaired by ill health,
that so much knowledge as he possessed should die with
him, and that no larger account should remain than those
works which Mr. Hallam has quoted and praised in his sup-
The plemental volume to his " Middle Ages. —Athenceum. Earl of Albemarle will move the Address in
the House of Lords, in answer to the Speech from the
Throne. The mover and seconder in the 'louse of Commons
will be Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley, Member for the
county of Anglesey, and Mr. J. Bonham Carter, Member for
the city of Winchester.— Sunday Paper.

'TIDE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
Last night a crowded meeting of workmen connected
with t'fhe iron trade took place at the Phoenix Tavern,
Stepne y, the object being mainly to hear a report from
Mr. N, twt.on upon the state of the movement in Lanca-
shire, f torn which county he had just returned.
Mr.
ho di I 1:a
LGIN, who occupied the chair, apologised for
g meeting of such a character on a Sunday—a
step, ho, rover, which he felt to be necessary under the
circumat Fnces of their position.
Mr. N EWTON, who was loudly cheered on rising to
address t ho meeting, Commenced by describing the fa-
vourable, reception with .which he had been met at the
different meetings which he had attended, and at which
a desire had been unanimously expressed to support the
position assumed by the Executive Council of the Amal-
gamated S ociety. He had visited Bury, Oldham, and
Dlanches.ter; and everywhere the same feeling had pre-
vailed--a, roost important fact, when it was remembered
that thos a districts comprised between 3,000 and 4,000
members taut of the 12,000 of which the society consisted
—(Hear.. ) The all-ougrossing subject of attention was
the co-op erative shop in Lancashire, for the purpose of
which the Executive Council were in treaty. He had
seen the l ireprietors and possessed himself of all neces-
sary part' ewers, and he could assure them that it was
one which would be capable of affording employment
for 1,000 cuen.—(Hear, hear.) He would not say that
it could e eploy 1,000 men with the present tools, for
such was not the case. It could now only employ 500
men at on .e time, but by adopting a system of relays—
each set c ,f men working eight hours—The shop might
be kept c snstantly open, and 1 500 men might be so
employed;; and in that case there were orders now on
hand which would find work for three months for the
whole 1,5(
men _(Cheers.) But more than this was in their favour, as he was assured by the proprietor that,
if the present crisis continued, he could without trouble
obtain work enough for a twelvemonth.—(Cheers.) Let
the 10,001 )/. required by the executive be voted, and the
balance of the amount necessary to complete the purchase
and carry en the concern might easily be obtained from
men who had expressed themselves favourable to the
movement The work done at the establishment was of
a similar nature to that done by Messrs. Hibbert and
Platt themselves, 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 capital 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 45,0004—(8eer, hear.)
These profits were high, and they came from the labour
of the 1,500 workmen, and if divided among them would
add 30/. 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 150,0001. would yield an annual profit of
45,0004, and had arisen from a small outlay such as he
had intimated in the Mk, of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt,
what might they not do iin starting with a capital, as
they could do, of 40,000/. or 50,0004, when the men
were actuated by the incentive of working for themselves?
—(Hear, hear.) He 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 puslron this matter
without waiting to see what the employers might seem
disposed to do; that in any event the co-operative
system should bo 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, remaing in work, last
night subscribed upwards of 2004 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, Limehouse, 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 501. 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 can 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 more 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 ease which includes demands we have never
made and which aro 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-
tration traking into account the real facts, and not as-
suming that we ask for the discharge of unskilled la-
bourers, or the equalizing, fixing, or increasing the rate
of wages. I am, sir, your obedient servant,
W. ALLAN, General Secretary.

In the Operative of the 31st of May
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
of January thereafter ho 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 agree-
ment 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
enlightened, and honest enough to withhold
from an attempt by dictation to wagtail,
their shrewd,
sympathy
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 France, as the deputy and local
secretary of this council propose to do the
poor labourers

from the lathes and planing machines. They can see
clearly enough that the Newtonian theory of" co-opera-
tion" means exclusion and monopoly. They have found
out that " organization of labour" is only a conspiracy,
by the selfish and short-sighted, to forestall and regrate
the market of employment, disguished in Frenchified
lingo. They can distinguish betwixt that kind of inde-
pendence, advocated in " The Mother Country," which
is promoted by the removal of every obstruction, legal
and conventional, to the attainment of the rewards of
honest industry, and that unjust ascendancy, there as
emphatically condemned, which conspires, by trade
combinations and selfish club rules, charters, or Acts
of Parliament, to deprive our fellow-men of their fair
chance of earning their livelihood, and that liberty
to toil and to take their chance with the rest of the
subjects of their common country, of securing employ-
ment, and pushing their own way in the open market of
the world, which is the great charter of industry, and
which can never be defied with impunity, or offended
without injustice. What right has any man to say to
his master, " You shall only teach one apprentice for
every, four journeyman?" What honest purpose can be
served by an engineer saying to a poor Wiltshire
Ploughman, earning Bs. a week for a family of six, that
none of his hungry brats shall bo admitted into the fac-
tory to have a chance of rising to 365., to him a princely

are you one of us? W e shall racer and send a depute-
from the office, and the empleyinent of none but '
secretaries? " We had thought the economical heresy
which inspired the "riglar" dustman to demand the
" dismissal " of the eleemosynary sweeper of the crossing
had been exploded; but really these " Amalgamated "
doctrines begin to make us doubt whether the Hindoo
castes are not to be revived in Europe, We have
already warned the well-disposed of the insanity of in,
vestments in this society. The caution is doubly neces-
sary against intrusting to indiscriminate hands the pro-
posed subscriptions to maintain the strike, and the sham
capital of the co-operative factory. If they are crazy
enough for a moment to entertain so wild a scheme, we
know, we are sorry to say ,of but too many masters,
who will gladly take the opportunity to get out of busi-
ness by disposing of their works to them. In a few
years engineering firms have suspended operations or
fled from the trade, who had embarked 1,200,0001. in it.
They have discharged 5,000 hands, having commenced
with all the advantages of large capital and ripe expe-
rience, and carried on with mature arrangements and a
character for their work. It is against the masters who
have to struggle with such a trade, with the most formid-
able competition, and who now pay the highest wages of the
best remunerated class of workmen, that the increased
difficulties now offered by the Executive Connell aro
raised. Should the Amalgamated Society succeed in
subduing the masters, they will assuredly drive away
the trade, and lose employment altogether. Should the
masters ;triumph, as assuredly they will, it will be by
utterly superseding the services of the very men whose
demand has been that nobody should be employed hut
themselves. It always has been so—it always will
be so. Mr. Fairbairn, of Leeds, has been bullied,
by strikes, into working the largest flax-ma-
chine factory in the kingdom almost entirely
by boys and foremete at an expense so trifling that the
Manchester makers declare that, if he removed his esta-
blishment to that town, he would defy the possibility of
competing with him, and shut them all up. The em-
ployment of labourers at lathes and planing machines
has scarcely yet extended to London. This insane move-
ment will render their introduction universal, and their
services permanent. It is a sorry answer for an industri-
ous workman to make to his wife and children when
wages have ceased, and they are living not on work bat
by subscription, " I am at home, not at the factory, be-
cause I sought to prevent my master from teaching our
neighbour's boy to earn his living, and because he would
not tarn out our labourers to starve in the streets, to the
order of our Executive Council." That is—God help
us!—a queer kind of " co-operation," and a rather per-
plexing illustration of the " organization of labour." If
a man, with a dozen children, seeks to feed and clothe
them honestly by overtime wages, who has a right to
say to him, nay? If a dexterous and contriving work-
man desires to turn his rapidity and skill to account
by piecework, why should not he be entitled to con-
tract by the job, as his master does? It is not by
groaning at the Dispatch that dictation, self-seeking,
and injustice can be made to supersede the obligations
of truth, the sanction of justice, and the common rights
of man. The inexorable laws of political economy
render it certain that the whole loss arising oat of this
"early closing movement" will have to be worked out
of the labour of the artizan. The 10,0001. of wages
weekly divided by employers to their hands will no
longer circulate among the neighbouring tradesmen; and
the resources of men earning no wages can last but a
short time, for they must produce in order to consume.
If they would not afford time to masters to make the
fatal discovery that they can do without the recusants
altogether, wo would urge upon the men the suicidal
folly of the advice they have so obsequiously followed.
Masters know full well that it:is not because they are
rich, but because they are right, that we have roundly
told the Council and their dupes that they are wrong,
and that it is not in their interest, but in that of the
public and the masses that we have wielded what influ-
ence we possess, and have honestly earned, to dispel a
mischievous delusion. The capitalist happens, on this
occasion, to be the victim of a pernicious act of injustice,
and the representative of the most vital economical prin-
ciples and social rights; and, thereforo, it is that we
adopted our position—" not that we loved the people
less, but that we loved truth the more." When
masters espouse a bad cause, or wrongly urge a right one,
they shall find to their cost that we shall execute upon
them even-handed justice, " without partiality, and
without hypocrisy." A word more, and we have done.
" John Bull dearly loves a Lord." It is no good earaest
of the honesty of their cause, that the Executive Council
sneak after the aristocracy and quote the Morning
Herald. We do not forget the Duke of Richmond's
cheques beicg traced to the paid Chartist disturbers of
the Anti-Corn-law League. We see now that they sidle

SEVERE SNOW-STORM-LOSS OF LIFE Ar

-
PROPERTY.
(From the Inverness Courier.)
Sine, the memorable snow-storm of Nov. 1826, when
nearly twenty people, returning to their homes from the
Martinmas Market, perished in one night within a circle
of a few miles round the town, no snow-storm has visited
the north of so severe a character as that which com-
menced from the north-east on Thursday last, and still
continues. On no occasion since that period have the
mails been so irregular. Since Tleuredny morning last no
mails have been received from the south up till this hour
(Wednesday, 4 Pim), and consequently six days mails
are now due. The Highland road remains completely
blocked up with snow. As yet no information, has been
received of its state from any point farther south than
Freeburn, only fifteen miles from Inverness; but from
the great mass of snow which covers the ground, and the
stupendous character of the drifted wreaths on this
short part of the long line of road, we can form some
conception of what is likely to be the state of matters
at such places as the
grim pass of Sloichmuichd, and
the long cold exposed expanse between Palmitin and
the pass of Drumoichter. At an avenge the depth
of the snow on Sunday may be stated at from sixteen to
twenty inches, but wreaths or drifts from five to twenty
feet in depth extend in every direction. The Aberdeen
roial, contrary ts the experience of the last few years, has
been comparatively clear, though so heavy was the snow
along the line, that all communication by coach hag
been cut off since Thursday last. Oa Sunday three days'
mails were due front Aberdeen, but the road
has since been partially cut, and only one day's mails
are ,now behind time. The storm has been equally
severe north or Inverness ; and the north mails are
not less irregular than those from the east. From the
interruptions to communication, it is as yet impossible
that the loss of life and property from the storm can be
corresay ascertained; but it is known that two persons
have perished in Lochaber; three persons are said
to have died on the borders of Banff and Aberdeen
shires; large numbers of sheep wintering on low
groands, as well as on the hills, have perished in
the drifts '; and in the Moray Firth, from the
severiey of the wind accompanying the snow, there
has bzen a loss of shipping unparalleled on our coasts
for tni.ny years past, attended, also, with loss of life.
Fee t 11, last twenty-five years the north, and particularly
the deunty of Inverness, has not suffered from a storm
of a more severe, prolonged, and destructive character.
Froin.the interruption to labour, followed as the snow
has 'been by frost, the sufferings of the poorer classes
must bo of a severe description, calling for an extensive
exorcise of benevolence. No southern papers having come
to bud, we h'iv little information ma to Vne extent to

Mr. Mitchell, C.E., kindly iefurms us that the roads
are now paSsable for light vehicles eloeg the Aberdeen
road as far as Fochabere, and a strong fere° has been set
to work to open the lino all the way to Aberdeen. An
attempt wasneafe to-night to get the coach through. It
left Inverness at half-pest five, drawn by six horses, and
carried :he mails for England and the i,outh generally.

far as Golspie,
_and it is expected that a coach will get
through to-morrow as far as Tain. The men art busily
engaged cutting the road.
In Caithness the fell has been very severe. Between
Thurso and Wick two mail coaches are rest in the snow.
For -sorue time. the mails for that county must be carried
from Golapie or Helmstlae on horseback.
A mail has just come in from Kiugnske brought by a
supernumerary guard—Pearson—who left Inverness on
Friday. iu chargeof the mail, and succeeded in gettingas
far as Kingussie on Monday night in company with the
guard why left Inverness on the preceding night, whom
ho overtook at Creggie. Pearson,. while regularly in
the service, proved himself a most active and fearless
guard, and he has now agein done good service to the
Post-office and the public. When he left Kingussie on
his return, the other guard, Macarthy, was about to
proceed to Dalwhinnie. From Kingussie to the place
where the mail from the ;south turned back to Perth
is a distance of some thirty-two or thirty-three
miles, but it is the worst part of the road.
We are informed that the. road is open as far as
Freeborn (fifteen miles from Inverness) for saddle-
horses, bat the guards walked on foot from that place to
Carr-bridge, carrying the bags. Sloichmuicbd is barely
passable on.foot. Near Carr-bridge some of the wreaths
over which the horses were ridden were fully sixteen feet
in depth, but the snow was quite hard. Between Carr-
bridge and Aviemore there was comparatively little
snow, but between Aviemore and Kingussie it was found
very 'Leavy, increasing near the latter village.
