STANYWID SMITE, secretary,

facts showed him the necessity of proceeding with very
great caution on such questions. Ile did not oppose their
inquiring into this subject; on the contrary, it was due to
the best interests of the empire that commerce should have
full speedy and ample justice done to it whenever it was
placed in jeopardy, and he hoped that the course which he
had indicated, and which -he shonti like-to see pursued,
might be acceptable to the Chamber, and that a conference
with gentlemen of eminence in the commercial world, from
every great city in the empire, should be convened. They
should obtain an assembly of gentlemen and discuss this
question in the fullest manner. If a number of gentlemen
should be appointed on the part of that Chamber to pro-
ceed to such a conference in different parts of the kingdom,
and if his services would be of the least use he would, at
whatever personal sacrifice, go to Glasgow, Liverpool,
Dublin, or wherever the deputation might have occasion
to go. (Hear.) But under all circumstances he did venture
to submit the necessity of cautious deliberation on this
great question. He knew that justice would be obtained in
this country. It was very frequently obtained at great cost,
and sometimes it was much delayed ; but when they saw
they could have justice, it was very desirable that they
should take time to consider how they could supplant a
prevailing system by another which should rival it and be
more acceptable to the country at large. The adjudication
upon all matters of commerce and all monetary questions
would be centred in one great commercial tribunal if the
country was to be placed under a new system. It was of
vital importance that the whole question should receive
the fullest possible consideration, and he would advise the
Chamber not to commit itself preCipitately, either that day
or at any short time hence, to any course whatever. He
would rather recommend that ample information should be
obtained upon the subject, and action taken upon it, in
harmony with other great cities of the empire. (Applause.)
Mr. LEPPOC read a portion of his paper, and said that
having given considerable attention to this subject for
many years, he had come to the conclusion that the plan
which he proposed would be a proper one. He was, how-
ever, open to hear any objections to it, and to give way to
any other arrangements which might be proposed. If
when a tribunal was formed alterations were required in
'its working, he should be glad to associate himself with
any committee with the view of making his scheme useful
to a great community.

Mr. CASSELS said he had not been converted by Mr.
Leppoc, to whose assumption that the decisions in English
courts of law were unsatisfactory, he was altogether op-
posed. There were cases in which, at first sight, the deci-
sions did not appear to be based on equity, Set upon a clearer
and deeper insight into the matter it would be found that
those decisions rested upon principles that could not be set
aside without injury to the interests of the community at
large. Ho objected to Mr. Leppoc's scheme, first, because a
case might be oommenced before one judge and concluded
before another, owing to the rotation of judges ; secondly,
because the decisions of such judges would constantly be
conflicting, would settle nothing, have no weight, and form
no precedent ; thirdly, because it would be very difficult to
find men who were willing to burden themselves with the
duties which Mr. Leppoe would impose upon them, and
because it would be impossible to select from their own
body men who would be entirely free from any charge of
impartiality.

On the motion of Mr. Rusden, seconded by Mr. Mier-
row, the debate was adjourned, and Mr. Leppoc's paper was
ordered to be printed and circulated.

CoinsloN IN THE CHANNEL.—The Fairlina, of
Jersey, 190 tonsburden, laden with iron, bound from
Stockholm to Liverpool, was towed into Weymouth har-
bour on Wednesday morning last, totally dismantled by
the steamer Newton Colville, having been in collision off
Portland with the bark Hermann, of Bremen, bound from
Havre, for New York. When brought into Weymouth
harbour the Fairlina had four feet of water in her hold, and
her appearance at once showed that the collision must have
been very severe. It is, however, gratifying to state that
no lives were lost on either vessel. The weather is very
unsettled, and a gale is at present blowing from the N.E.,
with rain, and from the present low state of the barometer
there is every probability of bad weather continuing.
BREAKFAST BEVERAGE. —Ho mceop athic practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being

were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was

Mr. Darby said the practice was one to be depre-
cated, and which the superior officials of the com-
pany ought to put a stop to. Of what use were
regulations as to speed if they were habitually in-
fringed ?

Mr. Griffith made a powerful appeal to the jury,
and urged that the accident arose from the com-
pany's servants being fatigued by over work.
After a careful summing up by the Chairman, the
jury found Johnson, the driver, who was first tried,
guilty.
Mr. Besley said the defendant had been in the
company's service 13 years and bore a good cha-
racter.

White, the fireman, then withdrew his plea of
not guilty and pleaded guilty, whereupon he was
discharged on his own recognisance to appear and
receive judgment if called on. Johnson, after a
reminder of the serious responsibility attaching to
the occupation of a railway driver, was (good cha-
racter considered to the fullest extent by way of
extenuation) sentenced to four months' imprisonment
without hard labour.

Shocking Suicide at Southwark.

-~-

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East
Surrey, held an inquiry at the Duko of Clarence Tavern,
Penton-Place, Kennington-road, respecting the suicide of
Mary Brown, aged 74.
_ _ _

Elizabeth Sansone, the wife of a painter, living at 5,
Lanton-street, London-road, said she know the deceased
by living with witness. She passed by the name of Brown.
On Monday last, about half-past five in the afternoon, she
was in her room having tea, when she heard a noise as if
something had fallen over head. She knew the deceased
was at home. She went upstairs and called the deceased
by her name, and getting no answer she opened the room
door, and discovered her lying on the floor with her clothes
covered with blood. Witness said to the deceased, " What
have you done ?" and the deceased said, " I have cut my
throat with a razor ?" She went for her husband to go for
a medical man, who attended and strapped up the wound.
She was then conveyed by the police to St. Thomas's Hos-
pital.
Police-constable 489 A said that about 6 o'clock on Mon-
day evening last he was called to the house in question. He
there saw a woman wfth her throat cut in a frightful man-
ner, and he asked who did it, and the deceased said, "I
did it myself with my brother's razor." Medical aid was
immediately sent for, and the deceased was ordered to be
taken to the hospital.
Mr. Frederick Henry Ward, the resident surgeon of St.
Thomas's Hospital, said on the evening of last Monday ho
received the deceased, and it was found that she had sus-
tained*a shocking cut wound on the throat extending from
left to right. She died on Tuesday last from the effects
of the wound.
Several other witnesses were examined, who gave similar
testimony.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary derange-
ment."
The inquiry then terminated.

GUN ACCIDENT.—A very melancholy accident
occurred at Munstead-heath, near Godalming, Sur-
rey, on Wednesday afternoon. A shooting party, who had
been enjoying the hospitality of Mr. Murray Marshall,
were on the heath looking for pheasants, and among them
was Julius Caesar, the celebrated Surrey cricketer. A man
named Foster, a servant of Mr. Marshall, was "beating',
the heath. Julius Calsar had, like the rest of the party, his
gun loaded, and while Foster was crossing the field in fronj
of him, from some accidental circumstance, it exploded,
and the entire charge of shot lodged in Foster's spine.
Medical aid was procured as quickly as possible, but there
is not the slightest hope of the sufferer's recovery.

AN AFFECTIONATE WIFE.—In several of the vil-
lages of the ryrenees the mountaineers are in the
habit of training animals for the purpose of exhibition.
The prefect of Perpignan passed through one of them in
company with an officer of gendarmes. The latter pointed
out to the magistrate a woman whose husband, a bear
trainer, had been devoured by his pupil at a moment when
instinct got the better of education. "II have nothing left,"
said the woman ; "I am absolutely without a roof to shel-
ter me and the poor animal." "Animal !" exclaimed the
astonished prefect ; you don't mean to say that you keep
the bear that devoured your husband!" " Alas!" she re-
plied, "it is all that is left to me of the poor dear man."

(From the Times Special Correspondent.)
ST. JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 25.
In the United States, as in England, there is a
class of people who insist that a large public debt is
a public benefit. There is a class also in the States
who are rather proud of their debt than otherwise,
and think it a striking proof of the greatness of the
country, the spirit of the population, and the im-
mensity of their resources, that they were enabled
to " roll up" in four years liabilities as large as
Great Britain incurred in a century. Perhaps when
the non-millionnaires, the professional classes, and
the small traders are somewhat more familiar than
at present with the visits of the tax-collector, the
views of this foolish minority will undergo a change,
and struggling families will look back sorrowfully
to the peaceful times before Southern secession,
when the only debt was that of State or county, and
nothing was due to the nation for the cost of bloodshed.
Aleady American capital begins to feel the burden of
taxation, and to overflow into the British Provinces,
in search of more profitable employment than it can
find in the States. Americans are purchasing lands
with water privileges in New Brunswick, for the pur-
pose of establishing paper-mills and woollen and cot-
ton factories, on the calculation that with cheap
labour and freedom from taxation they will, notwith-
standing the high American tariff on goods from the
British Provinces, be enabled to undersell their coun-
trymen in their own markets, either with or without
the aidof the smuggler. Within the last two weeks an
American manufacturer of sewing machines has re-
moved his factory from New England into New
Brunswick, and taken spacious premises in this city
to provide the European, Mexican, South American,
and colonial market with his patented article at a
lower rate than that at which he could supply it if he
manufactured in the States. A Yankee manufac-
turer of the patent medicines, for which above all
other people in the world the Northern Americans
seem to have a passion, has imitated the example,
and will for the future pretend to cure all the
maladies to which unhappy human flesh is subject
by infallible specifics, produced on the unindebted
soil of a British colony, and unenhanced in price by
the inexorable demands of the Federal tax-collector.
It appears that some of these enterprising, but not
patriotic, Americans who have chosen to establish
themselves in New Brunswick have taken the oath
of allegiance to the British Crown, alleging that
wider and more permanent liberty is to be enjoyed
under the protection of the red cross of St. George
than under the Stars and Stripes. And it is not only
Southern, but Northern, men who reason and act
in this manner, and bring their capital and energy
into the British Provinces in the hope of abundant
returns for both. The great increase of smuggling,
which has been one consequence of the high tariff
imposed upon foreign manufactures to provide
means for carrying on the late war, has been already
mentioned in my correspondence from Canada.
The same results have become apparent in New
Brunswick, the wilds and forests of which are only
separated from the wilds and forests of Maine by a
non-geographical and often indistinguishable line,
and where many a frontier farmer's wain or cart,
which seems to be taken with nothing more valuable
than farm produce, conveys into the United States
large quantities of British and French dry goods
that have only paid 15 per cent. ad valorem to the
province of New Brunswick, but will be sold at
Portland, Boston, or New York, plus the Federal
duty of 50 per cent. in gold. Very large quantities
of excellent bitter beer, almost as good as that
of Messrs. Bass and Allsop, are brewed in
the city of St. John ; but so brisk is the
demand from St. Stephen's, on the St. Croix
River, immediately opposite to Calais, in Maine,
that, 004..----‘alY a drop of the liquor is to be obtained
in the place of its manufacture. This also is sold in
New Brunswick at the rate of about Bc. a pint
bottle. The price in the hotels of Alaine, where it
is palmed off upon the unsuspecting traveller as the
genuine British article, is 50c. a bottle, leaving a
margin of more than 500 per cent. profit to be
divided between the smuggler and the retailer, and
perhaps with the accommodating revenue officer, who
systematicallyshuts his eyes and open his palms to the
transactions. Calais and St. Stephen's are but small
towns, but their traders are much more prosperous
than the outward appearance of their shops and stores
would lead the traveller to suspect ; and in Calais,
where the Federal Government has the power to as-
certain a man's income, if not to know exactly
whence it is derived, the merchants pay a property-
tax that is largely out of proportion to their legiti-
mate business.
There is another mode by which the present heavy
taxation in the Federal States operates to the advan-
tage of the trade of the British Provinces, and with
which the smuggler has no concern. The silk dress
which costs an American father or husband who wishes
to see his daughter or wife fashionably attired from
$l5O to $2OO in greenbacks may be purchased at
Montreal or Quebec for $5O or $6O, or at St. John
or Halifax for $4O or $5O in gold, which, reckoning
the premium on gold at 43 per cent., the rate at
about which it vibrates in New York, is a difference
of more than one-half in favour of the purchaser in
the provinces. Shawls, velvets, laces, fringes, ribands,
linens, woollens, gloves, artificial flowers, and all the
multitudinous articles of female finery known under
the generic name of " dry goods," are obtainable in
British America at similarly reduced rates. The
American paterfamilias is thoroughly cognisant of
the fact, and, instead of taking his wife and
daughters to Saratoga, Newport, or Longbranch for
their annual holyday, takes them into Canada, or
the maritime provinces, where he replenishes their
wardrobes, and saves out of the cost of their " dry
goods" as much as pays the railway fares and the
hotel expenses of the party. As these goods can-
not be conveyed into the States unless they are
made up ready for wear, another advantage accrues
co the subjects of her Britannic Majesty in the pro-
vinces, and milliners and tailors are busily employed
during the travelling season in enabling the fair
daughters of the North to dress extravagantly with-
out contributing to the necessities of the Federal
Government.
The threat of the non-renewal of the Reciprocity
Treaty, so unwisely put forward by Mr. Consul
Potter, of Montreal, as a means of coercion, to pro-
cure the ultimate annexation of British America to
the United States, has created in New Brunswick as
much indignation as it did in Canada. The maritime
provinces, from the nature of their trade, as well as
from their geographical position, are more conver-
sant with free trade doctrines than their inland
Canadian neighbours, and the menace of Mr. Pot-
ter, believed to have been inspired at Washington,
and to foreshadow the policy of the Federal Govern-
ment, has had a strong effect, both in confirming
the free trade principles of the leading merchants
and of converting more thoroughly to those prin-
ciples a large number of persons who had not pre-
viously given them due consideration. The belief
has become all but general in the province that
the non-renewal of the treaty will not only do
no harm to New Brunswick, but will be pro-
ductive of good to all concerned except to the
Americans. The white pine lumber, which is
the principal produce of the colony, can only
be obtained there and in Canada in anything like
sufficient quantities to meet the demands of
Europe and of ithe Federal States. Cost what it
will. the Americans must have it, theandiamllsea
duty
r
which the Federal government may impose
the abrogation of the treaty will have to be paid by
the consumer. And if the mere threat of the non-
renewal should have the effect, as seems probable,
of promoting the confederation of the provinces,
and forcing them to look elsewhere than to the
States for outlets for their infant manufactures and
their agricultural produce, the true solution of many
difficulties existent in the provinces, in consequence
of the high tariffs, which, in default of better,

4 '
IMINr
i-sl4l
though less popular, modes of rai • , %Ay
have imposed upon British and fo
be found in free trade with the whole tirld4-Ithe S
United States included. Such a policy would, it is
argued by some persons, be considered by the
United States as a hostile measure, if not a casus
belli. NA doubt if the British Provinces, singly or
confederated, were to establish free trade with the
whole world, except the United States, the Federal
government would have reason to complain, and
political difficulties, if not actual hostility, might
be the result. But how the States could make it
a casus belli against the colonies, and consequently
against Great Britain, if the colonies were to imi-
tate the example of the parent country and court
free trade with every State in the world, is not easy
for any one to admit, unless upon the untenable
supposition that the people and authorities of the
great republic are utterly unreasonable. At all
events, the question of free trade in the colonies has
made great progress since the close of the American
civil war and the discussions that have arisen on the
project of confederation. It is confessed that three
such colonies as Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia, each with its separate tariff, and its separate
system of custom-houses, cannot interchange com-
modities and manufactures as freely as they might
if their tariff were uniform and their intercolonial
custom-houses abolished. Already two cotton manu-
factories have been established, one in the city of St.
John, and the other in the immediate neighbour-
hood, which supply by the labour of three or four
months in the year all the demands of New. Bruns-
wick, but would be kept in activity for the whole
year, and be otherwise extended, if Canada would
purchase and pay with breadstuffs, as she would do
if trade were free between the two. The New Bruns-
wick manufacturer has, under present circumstances,
a market of less than 300,000 purchasers. Under
Confederation he would have a home market of
4,000,000 ; and under a system of free trade a fo-
reign market only limited by the unwise protec-
tionism of such countries as were tooblinded by pre-
judice and erroneous views of self-interest to see
that the principles of free trade were of universal
application, and beneficial to every State and com-
munity which has had the courage to adopt them.
New Brunswick, even in her present isolation from
her sister colonies, makes steady, though not rapid,
progress in wealth. The annual returns of trade and •
navigation for the year ending Dec. 31, 1864—not
yet published, but of which an early proof-sheet has
been placed at my disposal—states that the imports
and import revenue have greatly increased over the
previous year, and that there has also been a slight
increase in the exports. Shipbuilding operations
have also increased, although with results less re-
munerative to the builders than in the year 1863.
The mechanical and labouring population of the
province are stated to have had ample employment
and liberal wages during the first half of the year,
but towards the close of the year, as the value of
new ships in the Liverpool market decreased and
the prospects of the shipbuilders became less hope-
ful, the demand for skilled labour diminished and
wages receded ; not, however, to such an extent as
to throw many persons wholly out of employment,
or to create an unusual distress. But in New
Brunswick, as in Lower Canada, the mechanic, who
for any temporary cause is thrown out of employ-
ment, does not appear to look to farming as a re-
source, though the land is highly productive, and
may be had in almost illimitable quantities for 3s. an
acre, with the option of paying half, or more than
half, of the price in labour. The skilled labourer
has no affection for the rough work of the wilder-
ness, though independence and a competency are
certain within a few years to reward the toil of the
man who clears the forest, builds a log hut, and re-
places the aboriginal pine and bramble by corn and
rye. At the least brush of adverse fortune, such as
appears to have fallen upon them at the close of last
year, men of this class begin to mourn and lament,
and complain of the colony in which their lot has
been cast, and betake themselves to the large cities
of the United States in search of the high wages at
the trades to which they are accustomed. The tem-
porary discouragement of this class, which is com-
monly exaggerated for political purposes, finds ex-
pression occasionally in such paragraphs as the fol-
lowing, which I find in a St. John newspaper of the
day before yesterday:—" Within the last 12 months,
from one or two streets in the city of St. John,
nearly 100 mechanics have taken their departure for
the Statog_ Many of these were fine young fellowe—
manly, honest, and industrious. They were anxious
to remain at home with their parents, their sisters,
their brothers, and their schoolmates, but times
were dull,' there was nothing doing, and little pro-
spect of improvement. The house joiners, the black-
smiths, the masons feared for the coming winter,
and decided not to await the probable penury that
lay before them in case they remained here."
I have made many inquiries during my stay in
this city as to the extent of the emigration from
New Brunswick, magniloquently described by an
anti-Confederate journal as an "exodus of the bone
and sinew of the people," and am fully justified
in stating, from all I can gather, that not only are
the numbers overstated, but that there is nothing in
the " exodus" which has not occurred before, and
that a considerable number of the persons thus leav-
ing New Brunswick in search of better fortune in
the States had no idea of permanently quitting it,
and have already returned with a few more dollars
in their pockets than they would have possessed if
they had remained, and that no more social conse-
quence is to be attached to their migration than
would be attached in Ireland to the " exodus" of as
many hundred harvest men from Cork or Tipperary
to gather the corn of Yorkshire or pick the hops of
Kent. The mischief is that in a country of cheap
land the labourers too often prefer to loiter about
towns, drive coaches, and do odd jobs, than banish
themselves to the backwoods to lead a harder but
nobler life than the town affords. This is an evil,
however, that will cure itself in proportion as the
resources of the country become developed by the
wholesome immigration of European peasants ac-
customed to the cultivation of the soil, and looking
to the possession of a farm as the summit of their
ambition. To such persons New Brunswick, with
its bracing climate and its millions of yet unoccu-
pied acres of arable land, offers many attractions,
overshadowed for awhile, it is true, by the supe-
rior inducements held out by the great corn-produc-
ing regions of the American prairies of the Far
West, but likely to become better known as the
pressure of taxation in the States is felt in its full
force, and as the scheme of the Anglo-American
Confederation recommends itself more and more to
the colonies, and Canadia, Acadia, or Hesperia,
whichever be the name adopted, takes its place
among the nations of the earth, and enters upon a
new career of greater prosperity than the separate
colonies ever did or ever can enjoy.

without the least sign of anxiety and fretfulness."
He was also remarkable for the urbanity with
which he invariably received every one who came
to him on business, and his readiness to oblige
every one, and listen to their remarks, made him a
shining example to all Ministers who have to undergo
the ordeal of receiving deputations." Mr. BLA.cic
concluded his impressive remark, by stating that the

ment had suffered a great loss. I believe they will
be in great difficulties as to how they are to pro-
ceed. I trust they will be so directed as to come to
that which will be most for the benefit of the
country. Not only was Lord PALMERSTON re-
spected in this country, but I believe that over all
Europe the name of PALMERSTON was a shield and
protection to every Englishman."
In Leeds a very painful sensation was created on
Wednesday by the intelligence of the death of Lord
PALMERSTON. The great bell in the Town-hall was
tolled, and in all quarters universal sorrow was ex-
pressed for the loss of the Premier. In the evening
Mr. BAINES, M.P., presided at a public meeting of
the Leeds Auxiliary of the Bible Society, and ob-
served that no assembly could possibly take place
that night without some allusion being made to the
sad event just imparted to them, an event of
national importance—the death of a man who had
held high office in the Councils of England for
nearly 60 years, and who for many years had held
the chief place in those Councils. At Southampton,
as may readily be supposed, the sad news was re-
ceived with peculiar'sentiments of sorrow, because
Lord PALMERSTON was so much associated with the
place, and his memory will long be cherished there
personally as well as politically-, not only as a mi-
nister and a statesman, but as a good neighbour and
a kind landlord. At Tiverton, also, the same regret
was experienced at the close of the connection
which has so long subsisted between the late
Premier and the town that he has faithfully
represented for a tenure of thirty years,
and nearly all the shops were shut, and all
possible marks of regret and respect were mani-
fested. In Manchester many flags on warehouses
and public buildings were hoisted half-mast high ;
and on the Exchange much was said concerning the
loss of the great statesman, and it seemed almost to
monopolise attention to the exclusion of business.
At the weekly sitting of the representative vestry
of Marylebone yesterday, a resolution was passed,
which expressed the deep regret of the meeting at
the loss of the able and manly English Minister,
who had served his country for so long a time,
and identified his name with all the poli-
tical and social progress which have marked
the destinies of Great Britain during that period.
Nothing has been wanting indeed to assure the
friends of the lamented departed of the high esteem
in
_which he was everywhere held, and the
deep and general regret which pervaded all ranks
and classes at, the receipt of the mournful intelli-
gence. Such unwonted sympathy and sorrow may
well take away the chief bitterness from the thoughts
of his nearest connexions, and may afford the most
cheering assurance of his enduring remembrance in
the hearts of his countrymen, with his fame stil
flourishing in perennial splendour—

The employment of children in our manufactories
seems likely at last to receive careful attention. It
will be remembered that the report of the Childrens'
Employment Commission referred especially to the
town of Sheffield, in which very young children are
employed at various trades. The matter has been
taken up by the Sheffield Town Council, before whom
it was brought by Mr. IRONSIDE on Monday last.
This gentleman was inclined to resent the possible
interference of Government inspectors, and declared
his conviction that the evidence given in the
Report could not altogether be relied upon. He
thought whatever reforms were needed had bet-

ter be left to be gradually introduced by the
force of public opinion. He further said that in
many instances the cases stated by the Commissioner
were not fairly put, but that often they could be ex-
plained. As for the educational difficulty, he did
not believe it to be so great as had been stated.
The children were more frequently too sharp
than not sharp enough, and as for a girl of ten
years old not being able to answer a simple
questionin arithmetic, he thought that of little con-
sequence, as at that age it was better to strengthen
children's bodies than their minds. Fortunately for
the rising generation of our manufacturing cities
the others speakers were not all of Mr. IRONSIDE'S
opinion, and it is only fair to that gentleman him-
self to remember that he proposed a committee to
inquire into the rights of the matter. There can be
no doubt whatever that in towns like Sheffield a

large number of children of very tender years are
employed at hard and exhausting labour, to the in-
jury, in spite of Mr. IRONSIDE'S "strengthening"
principles, of their bodies and their minds. Mode-
rate exercise and healthy play may be better for the
growing powers of children under twelve or
thirteen than any training can be for their minds ;
but it is certainly a new theory that a long day's
labour in a furnace-room or in a factory is
beneficial to them in any way. Too much
exertion is worse than too little, as the
prematurely aged and dwarfed little creatures too
surely testify. As for the assertion that official
inspection is opposed to the liberty of the subject,
and that the matter would be better left to the

judgment or humanity of the masters, we must re-
member that this plan has been already tried and
fthe Factory ctlotry Awaset
s not until Lord ASHLEY had carried
against the most formidable oppo-
sition' that the capitalists and factory owners con-
sented to any restriction being placed upon the
labour of women and children. Similar opposition
was made to the attempt to lessen the toil of the chil-
dren and girls employed in the bleaching and dyeing
trades, though they were shown to be often engaged
for 16 or 18 hours at .a stretch in such an exhaust-
ing atmosphere that it was no uncommon thing for
them to faint from heat and fatigue. In every Cue
where any increase has been proposed for the bene-
fit or protection of the younger and more helpless
classes of employes the masters have opposed
it. Of course there are many exceptional
instances ; but it must be borne in mind
that while those who try to avert the evils

themselves do not shrink from the inspection,
who are the least to be trusted with the
unrestricted t lao se
charge of their workpeople are the least likely to be
influenced by the public opinion which Mr. IRON-
SIDE would trust to. A hard or oppressive
taskmaster, who values his own gains far
above the health or training of the children whom
he employs, is not very likely to be influenced by
the mere opinion of his towns-people. Many long
years of painful experience have shown that such a
weapon, however powerful in some cases, cannot be
relied on in this one. Neither masters nor fathers
can always be trusted to look after the interests of
the young children manufacturing towns ; the

one from ignorance, the other from indifference.
In many cases the fathers are very much to blame,
and when one speaker observed that the children's
wages were often indispensable to the family,
another gentleman very truly said that the fact
was the men often consumed the boys' wages in
drink. In a place like Sheffield, where wages are
good and employment plentiful, there can be no
need for a steady working man to rely upon his
children's earnings, and he ought to be ashamed of
himself if, for the sake of gratifying his love of
drink or pleasure, he sacrifices his boy's health and
education. In some cases the fathers would be
glad not to employ their children, but are afraid of
offending their employers by refusing, and in these
instances they would profit by the protection
afforded by an inspector. As for the so-
called interference with the liberty of the
subject, it is no more interference than is
everywhere necessary to protect the weak against
the strong ; and from age, ignorance, and weakness
these poor children are entirely at the mercy of the
large employers of labour. Mr. IRONSIDE indig-
nantly referred to the case of a boy nine years old,
who worked at a furnace, and who slept on the floor
of the furnace room, so as to begin work at three
in the morning of Saturday. He asked if the
Commissioner wanted the boy to be provided with
a bed at the Victoria Hotel, and said that it was
owing to the manufacturer's desire that the men
should leave off work early on Saturday that they
began at such an early hour. This is all very well,
but three o'clock in the morning is not the time for
a boy of nine years old to begin work 'if he is
to grow up a strong and-healthy man ; and if Mr.
IRONSIDE considers that twelve hours a day is a fair
measure of work at his age, we no not think he will
find, many parents to think with him. As for the
boasted " sharpness" of Sheffield children, they
may be sharp enough, no doubt, in knowledge of
life and in matters beyond their age, but they are
not likely to know much of the plainest rudiments
of education. The cases in which the wages of the
children are necessary for the support of the
family are very few iu comparison with those
where the parents will not refuse money, but
could very well dispense with it. The
children themselves would do much better on bread
and water, with natural hours of sleep and easy
work or play. The foundation of all kinds of
diseases are laid by this unnatural system, and
moral evils of a very serious kind are likely to
follow. A case was cited in which children
employed in a large house were kept working till
midnight, and then turned into the streets. Well
might the members of the Town Council cry shame
on such a proceeding, but there are many other
facts connected with the employment of children
which are equally bad. Alderman SAUNDERS laid
down an axiom which was indisputable when, he said.
that if a child was too young togo to school it was too
young to work. He gave the men part of the
blame, since, he said, that nowhere were they more.
independent of their masters. If all the large em-
ployers, however, followed the excellent example of
the Mayor, who is a large steel manufacturer,
matters would now be different. He allows no boy
under 11 on his place, and in the furnaces no boy
under 13, and insists on his men sending their chil-
dren to school till then. Mr. HARVEY, one of the
councillors, mentioned the case of a friend of his
who refused to employ children at all ; and he added
that if all employers would follow his example there
would be no need of inspectors. Unfortunately
the love of gain interferes both with masters and
men, and the children suffer. It would be well

if the acts which have done so much good
in Lancashire were extended to Sheffield and
similar towns ; and we have no doubt that when
humane and practical tradesmen come to enneirlo.r
the question they will suggest active measures for
the reformation of a great and growing evil.

That the tyranny of the men is to the full as
oppressive as the despotism of the few, is a fact that
has often been demonstrated, but it has seldom been
more clearly shown than in the case of intimidation
recently brought before the Lord Mayor. Trades'
Unions have their good points and their bad points.
Many thoughtful and enlightened men of rank and
position have expressed themselves in favour of the
principle of combination, which affords the labour-
ing man a protection against the greed or oppression
of his employers. But when they have thus sup-
ported the system of Trades' Unions, it has only been
so far as men act up to their own views and join with
others who think with them to secure a certain end,
by fair and legal means. No honest man, or lover
of fair play, could for a moment tolerate the course
of intimidation towards men who prefer individual
independence to a union which is too often followed
by the members of such societies. They are formed
originally in support of the workmen's rights and
privileges, and they very often end in a system of
dictation, petty tyranny, and interference which no
employer would venture upon in this country. If he
did he would soon find his men refusing to submit,

and leaving his service ; but the Trades' Unions
allow no such action. A man may refuse, indeed,

to become a member, but he is not the less at their
mercy. He is harassed, and persecuted, and
threatened, till both masters and men are really

tyrannised over to an extent that if it were
possible in other ranks would call forth a great
many democratic diatribes. Mr. HUGHES spoke out
boldly at Sheffield as the friend of the working men,
and those able and intelligent workmen who
answered his arguments will be doubtless amazed
to find in the recent case of HENNEVAN and RAWSON
proof that his charges against Trades' Unions were

too well founded. It appears that Mr. PRITCHARD,
a builder in the city, employs a number of masons,
two of whom, named CROMBIE and HOARE, he had
had in his service for five or six years. About a

fortnight ago two of his other men came to him and
askdd him to discharge HOARE and CROMBIE.

When pressed for a reason they said they
would not join their union, and that if
Mr. PRITCHARD would not discharge them

twelve men would leave at once. Mr. PRITCHARD
very properly refused to submit to such unwarrant-
able interference, and to be threatened into dis-
charging unjustly two respectable men. The others
fulfilled their threat, and left him suddenly, thereby
putting him to great inconvenience in his business.
Not content with this they waylaid and threatened
all the men whom he engaged, and continued such
a system of persecution that after securing ample
evidence he brought two of the worst offenders be-
fore the Lord Mayor. His lordship expressed great
indignation at the tyranny of these Unionists, and
asked if that was what they called liberty when a
manmight not do as he liked in a fair and honest at-
tempt to gain his living. He sentenced both offenders
to two months' imprisonment with hard labour,
which, it is to be hoped, will enlarge their notions
of political economy. It is worth notice that these
men had previously admitted having been paid for
watching Mr. PRITCHARD'S workmen, so that it is
evidently an organised system on the part of the

Trades' Unions. Those who wish to Maintain the
system had better reflect that nothing of the sort
can be successful unless backed up by public opinion,
and Falk opinion, in every rank of English life,
is against dictation and apprehension. Fair play
is the Englishman's motto, and we should soon
have an outcry all over the country if masters wer
suffered to treat their men in the manner in whic
the men aspire to treat each other.
