( From the Morning Herald.)

In discussing the copy-right question last Friday, Mr.
Warburton broached a principle, which a Government
" sensible of the importance of economy " would find very
convenient when pushed to make " adequate provision for
the exigencies of the public service." Some American
Sam Slick, it seems, had been guilty of the outlandish
notion that " whatever a man produces by hiS own hands
and his own mind, is, by a natural tight his, and his only."
" Nonsense !" says Mr. Warburton. Ile did not acknow-
ledge such a thing n natural rights.- Ha did not ac-
knowledge the \Vat Tyler doctrine that what a man pro-
duces is his own and hie own only. The question was,
what portion of a men's labour ho ought to retain, and
what portion should be appropriated to the public
good. In every case the disposal must be governed
by expediency." Mr. Warburton does \Vat Tyler
and Jack Cade gross injustice. Whatever ignorant
impatience gentlemen of their kidney may. have shown
of taxation when applied to themssives, they were as mush
alive to the expediency of appropriating the fruit of other
men's labour as the best Liberal of the present day.
The only diff-renee between Jack and Mr. Warburton
is, that Mr. Warburton is, that Mr, Warburton would
s!arve the clerk of Chatham for the public good, whereas
Jack thought the public good best consulted by hang-
ing him with his ink-horn about his neck. But how
would Mr. Warburton like the mutate notnine, de to part
of the story ? or, in more homely phrase, how would he
like the goose to be served with the same sauce as
the gander? The question, he says, is, what portion of
a man's labour ought to be retained by himself, and what
portion should be appropriated to what Minis ers call
the "exigencies" of the public. He cannot mean that the
exaction should be enforced only upon authors; for, if the
value of a thing is just what it will bring, his doctrine
would be far more valuably applied to Baltic mercbants
than to booksellers' fags. What portion of the fruits
his labour will he consent ¶o br,:iag appro-
priated ? As Coln-,ati's timber merchant answeiel, when
ask-A how much he would give to rdi,ve the pcor match-
makers, " Certainly not a great deal." Mr. Warbm ton,
by all accounts, has made a large fortune (the larger the
more credit to him), by knowing how to supply the mar-
ket With Norway oak. What would be his opinion if Mr.
Baring wes to say, " My dear Sir, you have no natural
right to what your cleverness in the timbe r-trade has ae-
qu'red; that sort of Wat Tyler nonsense won't do fer me ;
the only question with me is, how much of your gains I
should allow you to retain, and how much I should appro-
priate to the public." It is understood that Mr. Baring
means to propose sornetlfng novel to provide for his " exi-
gencies," as the public will not stand another per-tentage
upon the old taxes and duties. For the fun of the thing
let him but whisper a tax upon timber-merchants and
authors, and it is Epping Forest to a walking-stick that
Mr. Warburton will find out that authors have natural
rights after all.

MONEY IVltiltlkET and CITY NEWS

(TUESDAY EVENING.)
TIMES,—An increased firmness was given to the
Funds this morning by the news of the final settlement of
the Eastern question, but it produced no advance of the
least moment, and even the character of firmness which
the market at first assumed was not wholly maintained
throughout the day. It is thus evident that other causes
than those connected with politics keep bail: the public
generally from any large investments in stock. Very
high prices of the Funds, such as prevailed a few years
back, are pot to be looked for while money finds employ-
ment so much more beneficially out of doors, but they
would probably rise somewhat above their present level

On the first announcement of the arrangement of affairs
in the Erst, the priers of Consols rallied, but money being
wanted in the Market, and the dealers not having got rid
ef the stock which they bought a little while back, they
receded to their old position.

SUN.—To-day the Funds have been rather more
dealt in. but the quotations have not 3et quite reco-
vered what they lost yesterday, though, on the whole,
more buOyant. _

TURNOUT AT THE LANCASHIRE

COLLIERIES

MANCHESTER, FEB I.—ln a communication which ap-
peared in the Times a fortnight ago I informed you of a
turn-out of colliers in this district, and that an adjustment
of the dispute had taken place between the jsurneyrnon
colliers and their employers. The fact is, the men ob-
tained the demands for which they turned out, which
would make an increase to their former wages of about
7s. per week. Inspirited by their success on this occa-
sion, they resolved to make another effort, having fur i.s
object an advance of another 7s. per week, making in a►l
an advance in their wages of 14s. per week. The masters
now discovered, that v.hether from caprice, insatiable ava-
rice, or from whatever motive made, such demands might
Lecomo indefinite; and therefore resolved to resist the

ruttier exactions now attempted to be made

The tr cn

in consequence turned out, and nearly the whole of the
colliers in Lancashire followed the example. Great
embarrassments have naturally resulted to the large
millowners, whose usual supplies have thus been cut
off. In many instances those mills have been k?;:t
in operation by consuming a species of rubbish, con-
sidered on ordinary occasions unfit for use; while
in other instances they have been obliged to consume
house coal and canal at an increased cost of 63. per cwt.
This increased cost must seriously affect those who h-ve
occasion to emplcy steam-engines; while on the oth.er
hand several, I am credgbly informed, have been obliged to
stop their wet ks for vrant of coals. The hardship to tho
onners of collieries is not less seriously felt, for in many
instances they bad entered into contracts with extensive
millowners, which, by the turn-out, they arc rendered
unable to complete. Urged by the necessity thus created,:
the agent of Lord Francis Egerton has been obliged, I
am told, to purchssc several thousand tons of coal from
the Ince colliery, near Wigan, iu of dA to
.camplete his
Lordship's contract. His Lordship's agent has, how.'
ever, discovered a process Ilely to tame his refractory
colliers, and which, indeed, I am informed, has already
had that effect. About 200 of those who turned out
from his Lordship's collieries hold tenements on his
estates, end every one of them has received notice to
quit instanter, or return to his work. The very humane
character of Lord Francis Egerton is too well known in
this neighbourhood to be doubted, and therefore it will be
no matter of surprise when I say that those tenants enjoyed
their cottages at a nominal rent. This and other advan-
tages possessed by his Lordship's tenants were too valu-
able to be foolishly forfeited, and the men have, in conse-
quence, returned this morning to their work. The meo
employed by Mr. Ainsworth, M. P., at Bolton, have also
submitted, upon an assurance, it is stated, from that gen •
tleman that he will adept the ratio of wages agreed to by
the other masters. In the Oldham district, lam Wormed,
the turn-outs at once obtained their demand. his par-

tial submission, however, on the part of the men will
have a salutary effect upon the othoi districts where the
turn out may be of a more protracted nature. Already
the inhabitants of this town have suffered very severely,
many people at this inclement season being unable to get
a supply of coal. Several have kept their carts at the
wharfs for two days together without obtaining a supply,
while some poor people have been in attendance frotni
the early hour of three in the morning, and have best'
obliged to return home disappointed to a cheerless hearttip
at night time. The colliers were well aware of thifii?
masters' contracts, which, added to the severity of 114
weather, they considered furnished a certain guarantee f,tr
success.

TURN-OUT OF ENGRAVERS TO CALICO•PRINTERS. .`•
Amidst all the vicissitudes incident to trade and corn:
truce there is no class st operatives whose condition hasl
been less affected than that of the engravers to calico
printers. Their ratio of wages throughout the various:.;
revolutions of other trades, has remained stationary, and.
at this day amounts to a very handsome sum. But it is:
with t'ais as with almost every class of operative's ; the:. nre
not satisfied with doing well, and when even the amount of
wages is too ample to allow of c,,mplaint, their irgenuity
is taxed to discover some other grounds. This is a lesson
which cannot be to.) often real to the operatives ; fur, in
the rn,j,irity of instances, reduction of wages the intre-
deletion of machinery, destined to supersede manual
labour, and ru:-ny other sources of humiliation are trace-
able to very trivial causes, the origin of which is to her
found in their own officious intermcddling, az.d
impertinent interference in the concerns of tin•cr em-
ployers. And even in such instances, could the men
gain their cnd, their success would, in few instances,
benefit their condition. The turn-out of hodmen iu
building transactions bad led to the invention of machinery,
by which their offices are more rapidly and uniformly per-
formed. The turnouts of cotton-spinners bad led to the
invention of mule-spinning, by which a great proportion of
hands has been rendered useless. And the same fact is
strongly illus!rated by the ingenious machinery used
engravers to calice•printers, and which, from its rapidity
and precision, must have superseded a large amount of
manual labour. . . . .

The ordinary pattern designer is, in a great degree, be-
come obsolc to in this department of art, the machine it.
self, however extraordinary it may appear, performing at
once the united offices of designer and engraver.
Further improvements may yet be provoked by the •cir-
cumstances before alluded to, and to which I have now
more particularly to advert. Messrs. Joseph and
Lockett arc engravers to calico-printers in Manchester,
and employ about 100 men. A few days ago 20 of their
hands struck work and turned out. It was not for wages ;
in this respect they were satisfied, at least they ought to he,
for several of them were earning 4/. per week, and most of
them not less than 31. It was because their employers
had the assurance to transfer at his own request a young

absolute and slavish control of the union ; so much so,
that a master could not engage an apprentice or a
workman without permission of the union, and in
the latter instance, even if permission is given, it must
be such a man as the union may choose to send, and
to him full wages must be paid, whatever may be his
merits as a workman, whether enfeebled by age or
otherwise. Thus some employers are seriously li-
mited in the amount of their business, and for no other rea-
son than that the caprice of the union requires it. The
Messrs. Lockett could furnish employment to another
hundred men, but the fiat of the union prevents it, and the
introduction of apprentices is absolutely forbidden. This
over-stretch of arbitrary power has, however, had its
proper effect ; and, in defiance of the union, the Messrs.
Lockett have engaged, since the turnout, no less than
twelve apprentices. I recommend these facts as a useful
lesson to trade unions.

ANOTHER ATTEMPTED MURDER I3Y A SAWYER.
Last week a man of the name of George Conroy, a
sawyer, was drinking in a public-house in Warrington with
sevor.l other persons. The Ashton murders happened to
be talked of, and a man named Acton, who was present,
caw, " was right the ringleader should be found out
and punished," Conroy exhibited much vexation et the
rimark, and brutally assaulted Acton ; tlae company inter-
fered, and Conroy went out. He, however, shortly re-
turned with a sprig-hit, and inflicted two wounds o❑ the
person of Acton, one in his left breast, the other in the ab-
domen. The wounds arc fortunately .- not mortal, the in-
strument not being long enough.. Conroy wa,s_ taken into

EVENING EDI rioN

NOTES FROM PARIS.

AUTHENTIC AND ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF NAPO.
LEON.—Among those who are conversant with the life
and acts of Bonaparte, it is known that the earliest ex-
periments as to popular opinion on his secretly contem-
plated assumption of the " Imperial" title, were tried
among his military supporters, who, from having shared
the glory of his conquests, were best disposed to tolerate
bis views of self-aggrandisement.
The exact particulars of the occasion when it was
first publicly tried, however, have not been given in any
memoirs, although many persons who were present are
still living (among others, Marshal Soult) besides the
distinguished oficer, Baron Faure de Lilatte, who was,
sportively, " the first to proclaim Napoleon, Emperor,"
under the following circumstances :
At the time when Bonaparte contemplated his much-
vaunted descent on the English coast, he had ordered
encampments of troops to be formed at Boulogne, Dun-
kirk, Autro, and, in short, at all the little towns ales.;
that part of the French coast.
Prince Joseph Bonaparte (now living in England as
the Count de Survilliers) was then Colonel of the 4th
Regiment of the line, and was stationed at Autro, in
the " Camp de Gauche," commanded by General Soult,
silage become a M irshal of France, and at this moment
French Minister of War.
After the camps had been some time formed, it was
proposed by Prince Joseph and the other superior
officers of the left camp, to give a grand et.tertate-
tnimt to all the field-officers of the other camps, and the
neighbouring garrisons, including eoso the naval com-
manders on the station, and accordingly a very nume-
rons party were invited.
Up to this time there had been no rumour, or even
suspicion, as to Napoleon's intention of :assuming the title
of E uperor. Oe the day preceding the dinner party, ro ne
verses, referring to the Imperial title, were sent anony-
mously from Paris to the Baron Faure de Lilatte, who,
though a young man, had seen much service, and was inti-
mate with the Bonaparte farti!y. He was surprlsed at the
subject of the lines, and, after deliberating on what he
sheuld do ,ith them. he determined to consult Stanislas
Girardin, the constant companion and counsellor of
Prince Joseph. Girardin took the manuzeript, with a
promise of giving Baron Faure an early answer ; and,
on the thy of the fete, he restored the lines, acceding
to the young officer's wish for permission to give them
public:ty.
Accordingly, after the numerous party had partaken
of a superb dinner, such as little Boulogne seldom wit-
nesses, Baron Faure requested Prince Joseph's leave to
propose a new toast. Thie being granted, he rose, and,
to the astonishment of the majority, read aloud his
mysteriously-?ent couplet, of which the following is an
ex act transcript :
" Lorsque Napoleon, a la fiere Angleterre,
Ira dieter les lois de la pais ou le gu. rre,
Qui pent lui disputer le titre d'Empereur,
Lorsqae ce grand nom est deja clans not re cceur !"
" Vive i'Expercur !'shouted the young soldier as his
toast ; and the sound ran like electricity among the
vttemn ncinrPrs of Napoleon, " Vivo l'Empereur 1" re-
unding at the same instant from all the crowded tables,
and it was taken up ag,lin and again with fresh enthu-
siasm after each mernentary pause ; so that the Baron
Faure de Lilatte had the triumph of thus socially being
the first who proclaimed his general and brother-in-arms
en Emperor

THE NEW REFORM CLUB-

HOUSE.

As this cd:fiee is now finished and about to be
opened, a few particulars may be interesting. The
style of architec!ure is what is usually understood as
the Roman-laalian, the chief features of which
consist in simplicity and chasteness of design, com-
bined with a finished elegance in its various details.
The enriched entablature surmounting this building
is greatly admired by connoisseurs, although the
absence of a blocking is considered by a few objec-
tionable. The plain unbroken facade pleases the
eye from its simplicity, and the ribbed roof, when
reen from a distance, has a good and classical effect.
The first object which strikes the spectators on passing
•;,t the entrance hall is the saloon, the grand feature of the
whole building, and upon which the greatest care, both
•as to its arrergement nerd composition, has evi-
dently been bestowed by the architect. Space and
convenience have, however, apparently been some-
what sacrificed, and made to contribute to its beauty
and t ffect. This apartment extends the whole height
of the building, being lighted by an immense sky-
light, composed of richly embossed glass fitted into
a cast-iron frame, and from which a gigantic chande-
lier will be suspended ; it is oblong, being about 70
fret by 60, with a surrounding gallery of conside-
rable width, supported by lonic fluted columns of Si-
enna magliola on porphyry pedestals of the same
matrri 11, the capitals and bases being in imitation of
statuary marble ; over these columns is a second row of
Corinthian columns supporting the entablature of the
roof. The floor is mosaic, and is composed of small
china tiles, three-quarters of an inch square, with
vitrified colours on the upper surface, all firmly
embedded in a thick layer of cement. The centre
ornament is very tastefully designed. At the farther
end is the coffee-room (looking towards Carlton-ter-
race), one hundred and fifteen feet in length and
thirty in width ; the drawing-room over it being of
exactly the same size and proportion. The ceilings are
richly ornamented, but appear low. The walls of the
drawing-room are panelled, and it is the intention to
hang them with rich fluted silk. Over the centre
fire-place is constructed a large arched open-
ing, which, looking down into the saloon, will be
occupied by a single plate-glass, and decorated
by columns, and entablature of a very rich and
ornamental character. On the ground-floor on the
right is the elegantly proportioned library, and above
this room is the Parliamentary Library. It is intended
to fix sliding shutters, each of single panes of looking-
glass to the two end windows of this library to be drawn
up at night. The second floor is entirely devoted to the
dormitories, about 40 in number, all fireproof, which
are entirely separate from the Club, and under a dif-
ferent Committee of Management.

VALUE OF

BAROMETRICAL

INDICATIONS.

Captain Oldrey, commanding the Hyacinth, sloop
of war, was working up for Barbadoes, Aug. 10, 1831,
when the hurricane came on. He had been upon the
deck during the finest weather ever witnessed in that
climate, and had just been admiring the beauty of the
evening. The atmosphere to the horizon was perfectly
clear, not a cloud obscuring the sky ; nor was there the
least probability of a change, as far as could be judged
from any appearance observable in the heavens or on the
ocean. Going below to his cabin, the captain flung him-
&el upon a sofa, and a minute or two afterwards chanc-
ing to cast his eyes upon a barometer suspended near,
he observed that the mercury was failing. It was a mo-
ment when he would not have thought of consulting the
instrument for any purpose, and so strange did he think
the circumstance, that he rubbed his eyes, imagining he
was deceived. Still the mercury fell ; he got off the
seta, and approaching the instrument, discovered that
the quicksilver was falling with a perceptible motion.
He went on deck, but the weather was as lovely as
before ; he descended again, shook the instrument, and
still the descent was certain and continued. A fall
so rapid and remarkable, of which he had never seen
nor heard of a parallel instance, convinced him that
something was about to happen. He called the first
lieutenant and master, and stated what he had seen.
These officers alleged that there could be no storm
likely, the sea and sky were then so clear and beautiful.
The captain was not of their opinion ; and as the ordi-
nary falling of the barometer indicated a storm, he re-
solved to prepare for one with a speed and energy pro-
portioned to the singular rapidity of the indication.
He ordered everything to be instantly made snug, the
topmasts to be struck, and all to be got down and
secured upon deck. The officers and sip's company
were surprised, and still incredulous. One man said to
another, " The captain is determined to sweat us." By
an activity urged on by the union of command and en-
treaty all was lowered and secured. The officers of the
ship, except the captain, were still of their previous
opinion, and well they might be : so far, none of the
appearances then existed that usually precede storms
and hivricanes in that latitude. The evening bad
closed in by the time the operations on board the ship
seta nearly completed. Capt. Oldrey relaxed nothing
in the way of preparation to the last, and saw it finished
to his satisfaction. An hour or two had gone by after-
wards, during which his mind had become composed with
the reflection that he had been prepared for the worst,
when he had proof of the value of the instrumental
warning ; a storm did come on, and reached its utmost
fury almost at once, so that a rag of sail could not be
kept up. The wind blew with a fury so great that
the sea could not rise into waves, but became one
vast plain of foam, on which the ship lay driving
furiously along. Fortunately there was ample
sea room. Tnis extreme fury of the wind, in
which it seemed as if nothing could live, did
not continue more than two hours, and for
the whole time the ocean was without waves.
When the wind abated a little of its greatest
force, the sea began to rise, and falling a little more,
the waves rolled in mountains, while through
these the ship bored her way, rather than
sailed. The next day the Hyacinth
arrived at Barba-
does. The hurricane was over. The vessels in Bar.
badoes harbour, which is two-thirds surrounded by
rocks, the remainder being a sandy beach, were all
driven far up, high and dry, and nearly buried in sand,
to that, after the calamity was over, there was nothing
to do but to dig them out again.—English Journal.

ALCOCK FOR EAST SURREY.
Four days only have elapsed since at one of the largest
meetings ever held in this county, THOMAS ALCOCK,
Esq., was rominated with acclamation to be the champion of
the Liberal interest. A persona'. canvass at this late period is
obviously impassible, but he has already visited many districts,
and will attend meetings in other parts of the county, so as to
afford the fullest opportunity of ascertaining his sentiments.
We are delighted to state that we have found the independent
Electors true to the great cause of civil and religious freedom.
The returns now seat in prove that, by a continuance of the
noble determination and exertions already displayed, success
must, and will be the result.
