FAIRFIELD WORKS PROVIDENT
SOCIETY.

The woiks of the Messrs. Adams and Ralston;•rail-
way carriage builders on the Eastern Counties Railway,
became the scene last night of an interestim.,, though
unpretending, nemonstration. The evening was de-
voted by the mechanics belonging to the estsblishmeot
to joyous and mirthful festivity, but festivity of a nature
as4ar,removed from what is vulgar and degrading as the
Mutual feeling of interest and kindness which existed,
and was expressed between masters and men was un-
usual, end anticipative of incipient changes in the social
condition of the people, which promise better things to
those who come after, The. Provident Society, which
has existed for some three years among the workmen,
numbers about 200 out of the 300 mechanics employ
in the establishment, and has for its objects the usual
benefits proposed by friendly societies. But the mem -
bars of this society at a late meeting deter-
mined almost unanimously .to establish a library
in connexion with it ; and, in order to put
themselves in the way of making a fair start,
resolved to have a tea party and bail, with admission by
ticket, the surplus from which, after paying all expenses,
should go to lay the foundation of a good mechanics
library. Accordingly a booth was erected on ground
belonging to the works, on the edge of the Eastern
Counties Railway, upwards of 300 feet long ; and ar-
rangements were made under the superintendence of the
Messrs. Stevens for 400 ; but scares ly fewer than 600
could have been present on the occasion, consisting en-
tirely of the workmen and their female friends. It must
.be gratifying to know that this movement, as well us the
society in connexion with which it sprung, originated
spontaneously with the men themselves, . who from the
time that their number was but three till now, when
their increase emboldens them to think of greater things,
have continued to act indepervlently. But it must also
be told to the praise of the Messrs. Adams and Ralston,
that from the moms nt that this movement on the part of the
men assumed a definite form they nobly opened up
every facility; and lest night, byway of paying fur their
tickets—tor nothing is done by them as a chari,y, or
even in the spirit of pltronage—the three of them con-
tributed 101. each towards the proposed library.
By four o'clock the arrangements were completed, and
the booth presented an interesting appearance. One
long table ran down the centre for nearly two-thirds of
the whole length of the booth, which was flanked on
either side by short transverse tables, abutting from the
sides of the booth, and having ample space between them
and the centre table tor all the purposes and pleasure of
festivity. From the centre beam of the tent hung co-
loured oil lamps, disposed in decorative figures along the
length of the booth ; and behind tha chair was
stretched a transparency with these words on it,

made vi'ihle frotn' behiZtl : " Fairfield Works Pro-
vident Society, established August Ist, 1843." Between
four and five o'clock, an assembly, to the number of
about 600, most respectably dressed, and all wearing
that honest, hearty congenial look which testified there
was good fellowship as well as good fare, sat down
to tea.

William B. Adams, Esq., the senior partner of the
firm, and President.of the Society, took the chair, and
was supported on the right and left by his brother,
Samuel Adams, Esq., and Gerard Ralston, Esq., the
other two partners, and by Dr. Stewart and Dr. Jones.
The Chairman's lady, and other relatives, were present
at tea.
Tea having been concluded,

The CHAIRMAN, after a few words, gave " The Queen,
the representative of order and rule in Great Britain ;"
which was received with three time three, followed by
the national anthem, by an instrumental band in at-
tendance, who were accompanied by a vocal choir. The
ChEirman gave 6. Prince Albert and the Royal Family,"
which was received with all honour ; song, " Alynheer
von Dank."

The CHAIRMAN then rose and said he had to introduce
to them what was more immediately the business of the
evening, " the Fairfield Works Provident Society."—
(Cheers.) He said that scarcely three years had elapsed
since the ground on which they stood was first selected
from a scanty field, which was then mere potato ground.
The scene, he was glad to say, was now altered as would
best be seen in the crowd of smiling faces about him.—
( Laughter and cheers.) It was a proud thing to be a
captain of industry, better far than to be a captain of
war ; but it was better still to be surrounded by a set of
generous anti intelligent operatives. As to what their
prospects might be, he said they could gather that from
the name of the establishment which had been choseu,
not altogether without design; for " a fair field and no
favour" was always their motto. They recognised
no claims except personal claims, skill, ability, intel-
lect ; if a man had these, no matter where he might
have been brought up, or had learned the first rudiments
,f his trade, he woald meet i.‘ith justice and equal treat-
ment at their es•abliAment. (Hear, hear.) The
Provident Society began with three members; it was
begun by one to whom he and they were all under great
obligation, he meant that kind-hearted individual
Edward Corry.—(Cheers.) He feat that it' their aim in
instituting that society were properly understood and
carried out, it would not remain a mere Pro-
vident Society, a mere savings' bank for the
receipt of their surplus earninga, but much more—that it
would become a teaching society—that It ctures and
classes ft r inforthation and education would be grafted
upon it ; when to be connected with the Fairfield Works
would be deemed an honour in every workshop in
Great Britain. But though he spoke thus, he said
they had made it a principle with themselves

ways to act so tow-ards their workmen as
leave their independence unaffected. The
'urthest they had gone was to give hints, and he was
glad to find that these hints were taken and improved
upon till they appeared productive of good works. He
hoped that the Provident Society would continue to
prosper. Such was the strong desire of every partner
in the firm; and as for himself, when he considered the
kindness and diligence with which they had all attended
io their duties, be felt more grateful to them than he
could express. He gave "The Fairfield Works Provident
Society," which was responded to with three times three.
Mr. KNELL, a workman, replied, reciprocating the
kindly feeling which had been expressed in Mr. Adams'
speech. He ended with giving " The health of the
Secretary and founder of the Society, Edward Corry."
Mr. CORRY. in aeknowleclei,ig this honour, gave " The
health of ,he President of the Society, W. B. Adams,
Esq.," which was received with great cheering.
The CHAIRMAN. in acknowledging the honour, ad-
verted briefly to the history of the: establishment ; its
commencement, when the neighbeurhood was bleak
fieldi, on which houses and works were rising up
thickly on every side of the Fairfield Works. That, he
said was no „small assurance to him that they were
thriving,cmitrary to the predictions which several had
chosen-Co utter three years before concerning them.
The CHAIRMAN successively,' gave "The Ladies,"
" ace); Hinison and the. Directors of the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway," and " Free Trade," and " The Library."
Several of the workmen addressed the meeting, much
to their own credit, and !he gratification of those present.
Mr. CORRY gave the health of Samuel Adams, Esq.,
and Edward Ralston, Esq., which was heartily cheered.
Mr. SAMUEL ADAMS and Mr. RALSTON in acknow-
ledging the honour, both spoke feelingly of the gra-
titude they cherished towards their workmen.
This part of the bosiness -being over, the tables were
removed, and the booth was cleared for dancing, which
continued with great spirit and much enjoyment till a
late hour.

VlcrourA PA RK,---Pbs.nttan.tonee t.f. visitors on
Sundays keeps pace with that of the other long-established
metropolitan park.. On Sunday, anti for o,arty weeks past,
the vi-iturs have exceeded 10,000, and amongst them were
many from Or West-cod, upwards of thirty carriages being
out-ide the principal lodge-entrance on Sunday between four
and six o'clock. Three coroneted carriages were there at one
time, an event, perhaps, unknown in the previous history of
the parish. Amongst the visitors in the afternoon was
Viscount Canning.

The Professorship of Latin in University College,
Loudon, vacant by the resignation of Mr. George Long, in
consequence of his appointment to the It eadership on tivil
Law and Jurisprudence at the Middle Temple, has been
obtained by Mr. Francis W. Newman, formerly Fellow of
Baliol College, Oxford.
We tru't that Mr. Hudson will feel grateful to us
for bringing thus publicly under his notice a story respecting
him, which is current in political circles, and which, if not
contradic.ed, or satisfactorily explained, must deter gentle-
men from partaking of his profuse hospitality, unless
guaranteei against insult from their host. At a political
party given by Mr. Hudson, on Monday last, and consisting,
with, we believe, one exception, of Protectionists, that ex-
ception being Lord Arthur Lennox, the host proposed the
health of Lord George Bentinck, and right liberally did he
be• lard his Lordship, after the fashion of those whose ac-
quaintance with the members of the aristocracy is but re-
recent—then did Mr. Hudson most heartily belaud himself—
and lastly, he proceeded to assail Sir Robert Peel with abuse
so vulgar that it is said to have come through his lips as
through a familiar channel. This, be it minded, was in the
presence of Lord Arthur Lennox, who held office under Sir
Robert Peel. Now, Lord Arthur Lennox had, in the coarse
of the evening, undergone some bantering, which, with the
easy gon,l humour of a gentleman, he turned aside; but this
marked insult, conveyed in the gross attack on the head of
a ,Gevernment of which he was a member, was not to be
passed over; the insult was too plainly directed to be mis-
taken, and accordingly the guest rose, bade good night to his
polite and courteous host, and left the room.—Observer.

LITERATURE.

SCENERY and POETRY (If tile ENGLISH
LAKES. By Charts Mackay, LL.D. 5
Notwithstanding the derision cast upon the "Lake
Poetry'' by Lord Byron, and likewiso by Horace and
James Smith, in their inimitable "Rejected Addresses,'
the writings of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey
have assumed a very eminent position in the world of
metrical literature. From that position they cannot
very speedily be shaken ; at least the two former have
acquired a popularity which appears only to be inces-
santly on the increase. No poem within our recollec-
tion possesses such an enthralling character, or elevates.,
and seizes the imagination of its reader so effectually, as
that mysterious and eccentric legend of the " Ancente
Aarinere." How exquisite, moreover, is the moral
sentiment which it inculca'es!
" He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God that breth us
Ile made and torah all."
No poem again—not even excepting the tenderest sem-
nets, of Petrareh, or the divine“ passages of Romeo and
or those exquisite poems in prose, the letters
between Heloisc. and Abelard—no poem
_-whatever .to
our thinking is more, radiant with a chaste, and touch-
ing love than .Coleridge's " Geneviene." What a subtle
knowledge of that. master, passion is revealed Inwards
ita conclusion:—

• "She wept with pity and de:ight, •
• - .4te_blu,heil with love and virgin shame;
And like the murmur of a dream
I heard her breathe my name.
Her bosom be ived; she stept aside;
As conscious of my look she slept—
Then suddenly, with timorous eye,
She fled to me and wept.
She half enclosed me with her arms,
She pressed me with a meek embrace,
And bending back her head, looked-up
. . And gazed upon my face.
'Twas partly love, and partly fear,
And partly"twas a bashful art,
That I might rather feel than see
.The swelling of her heart."
In the sonnets and fragments of Wordsworth, as well
as in his more elith.,rate performance, "The Excursion,"
there are again indications of such a holy reverence for
Nature, and of such a consu►nmate appreciation of her
beauti.•s, as cannot fail to sustain him ataong the bards
who have devoted themselves to her laudation. Despite
certain undoubted puerilities,-and despite certain mean
vi;garies of expression, as for instance where thickets
are descrih,d as

"Little strips of naked wood run wild,"
the owner of "Hydal Mount " has created a school of
poetry which his books will always perpetuate. It is in
admiration of these intellects, and still more in admira-
tion of the scenery by which these treasures have been
evoked, that Dr. Mackay has written his present volume.
It is a work eminently worthy of its subject. In its
pages the author has condensed an universe of poesy.
and that poesy, consisting both of quotations and of
original descriptions, has been exquisitely embellished
by the artists. We ca❑ neither designate the book as
an album of the choicest culiings, because we cannot
perceive in it any ephemeral characteristics ; neither
can it be called a guide-book to the lakes and dells of
Cumberland and Westmorland, because it is altogether
a work of a more elevated stamp. Every real lover of
this beautiful world—and who is not 2—every one who
can derive pleasure either from the gloties of our insu
lar landscapes, or from the splendours of our insular
poets, will partake with ourselves in the gratification of
- reading this most charming volume. It conducts us in
imagination to every nook and dingle in the neighbour-
hood of those superb lakes, " navelled in the forest," as.
Childe Harold expresses it, Windermere, Ulleswater;
Buttermere, Derwentwater, Grassmere, and their com-
panions. Charles Mackay has beheld those scenes and
has perused those poets with a poetical enthusiasm, es-
stmtially his own, and he has described the one and
commemorated the other with something of that same
enthusiasm for material and spiritual loveliness. The
nine artists, whose pencils have illustrated most of the
views recorded by the author's pen, have shown a cor-
responding capacity. As specimens of wood engraving,
the embellishments, which are plentifully scattered
among the letter-press, are masterly, both for distinct-
ness and delicacy. We must, in justice, particularise
the vignette, by Harvey, which charmingly embodies the
intention of the whole work, associating- medallion
likenesses of the tritunfirate- (Words wcirib, Coleridge,
and Southey) with the scenery celebrated by their genius.
The sketches from the pencil of Mr. E. Gilks, are also
especially entitled to commendation, as they are inimi-
table smblances of the original. Gilbert, and the
rest, have likewise contributed their quota to the adorn-
ment of the several chapters, and their drawings have
been excellently delineated on wood by the graver of
Mr. Thomas Gilks. This volume is a beautiful tribute
to nature and poetry; it is a book not to be perused
casually, but to be resorted to again and again. Charles
Mackay has acquitted himself admirably in its com-
position.

THE lIARYLEBONE CLUB, WITH HILLYER AND LILLY NITER

V UNDERGRADUATILS OF OXFORD.

This match—the return match—was played at Lord's on
Thursday and Friday, when, to the astonishment of many,
because liiilyer and Lillvwhite were the bowlers against
them, the University made an easy conquest of the Maryle-
boneClub.

AQUATICS.
BANKSIDE REGATTA.
This event on Monday exhibited a novel feature, the Com-
petitors being confined to the six oldest watermen and job-
bing lightermen of Bankside, Southwark, who had never be-
fore won the boat annually given by the residents of the
Clink Liberty and its vicinity. me idea is good, and some
of the old ones, who would never by any sort of chance have
had the slightest opportunity of achieving a victory with the
more juvenile, were fairly pitted to tight their battles o'er
again. It was the 28th contest, and great as is generally
the assemblage at the place, it far exceeded anything. we
have ever before witnessed; many, indeed, with a desire to
obtain a view of any part of the race, having chosen perilous
positions, from which they ought to have been dislodged by
the police. Independently of the first prize, a new bOat,
there was a purse of sovereigns for diviAon amongst the
others, and to defray necessary expenses. The race was in
four heats.

SUGAR DUTIES.
Lord BROUGHAM said he wished to ask the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade a question with reference
to the sugar duties. He saw by the Votes of the House of
Commons that the Noble Lord at the head of the Govern-
ment proposed to introduce a temporary Act, continuing
the sugar duties for a short period. There could be no
objection to that, but he trusted the passing of that Bill
would not had to any delay in the introduction of the
further Bill.
The Earl of CLARENDON had no hesitation in
assuring the Noble and Learned Lord that there would
be nu delay in introducing a permanent measure upon
this sutject.—(Hear, hear.)
SALARY OF THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
Lord BROUGHAM wished to give a general
notice of his intention to call the attention of
Government to a very important circumstance arising
out of the appointment of Sir Thomas Wilde to the
office of Chief Justice of the Common Pleas. A most
improper and unconstitutional negotiation had taken
place at the time of the appointment of Lord
Denman to the office of Lord Chief Justice
of the Queen's Bench between the Noble Lord and the
Treasury, by which the Noble Lord consented to 8,0001.
a year instead of 10,0001., the sum originally granted to
Lord Tenterden by the 6th of Geo. IV. That negotiation
he contended, was most unconstitutional, and the Noble
Lord had no right to take less than the 10,0001. a year,
payable quarterly, nor had the Treasury any right to
interfere in the matter. The Act of Parliament
made the money payable to the individual, and
in his opinion it was highly improper to
bargain for judgeships in this way.—(Hear, bear.) He
trusted, therefore, that no such arrangement had been
come to with the present Chief Justice of the
Court of Common Pleas. •He must add, in giving this
notice, that he did not wish to impugn the character or
integrity of Lord Denman, than whom a purer and more
upright judge had never sat upon the bench.—(Cheers.)
The Act says 10,0001., and the financial statement only
8,000/. He only wished that the matter should be
looked into, and if there were no other Act found,
then that the evil should be. remedied.
Earl , GREY acknowledged that the Noble and
Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) had called the attention
of the House to a very important subject. The fact was
that in 1830 a committee had been formed for the revi-
sion of all the salaries of the several officials of the state,
and it was by them decided that. the whole list
should be revised, and that the several salaries of those
officials, including those of the judicial officers, should
be revised and proTectivelyreduced. It was a great
pity that when Lord Ashburton's committee was sitting
the Noble and Learned Lord had not turned his atten-
tion to it, and the snore especially as he himself was the
chief authority by whom the charge was guaranteed.
Lord BRO UGH AM—I did not know it.
Earl GREY—Did not know it I Why, from his own
knowledge, he could say that the Noble and Learned
Lord must have known it at the time, for he was Chan-
cellor at the time, and certainly it was his duty to have
inquired into the matter. But this he would say, that
his Noble Friend at the head of the Government would
take care, if it was necessary, to bring in such a Bill for
rectifying the evil.
Lord BROUGHAM was astonished to hear one Noble
Lord contradict, on his own knowledge, what he had just
now asserted on his honour that he was ignorant of.
What might be the Noble Lord's notion of discretion he
could not say, but this he would assert, that he .knew
nothing of the matter until it was brought under
his notice by Mr. Justice Bosanquet and Mr. Justice
Patteson, and not only did he not know of :it, but
it was quite contrary to his opinion. The Noble Earl
had stated that he ought to have done that under the
circumstances the Noble Earl was himself unable to do,
viz., pass an Act of Parliament under circumstances
which it was impossible to do ; that is, to pass an Act
when he was, as the Noble Earl was himself now, in a
minority in that House. The truth was, that nobody
knew anything about that which concerned every body
and for which nobody cared. Such was the case, ac-
cording to the Noble Earl's notion, but it was not his
notion ; and as he was not nobody, but somebody, he
believed that this was a matter which required a careful
looking after. Accordingly his own impression was that
10,0000/. a year was a very proper sum to be given to the
Lord Chief Justice, and he thought that a judge ought
to be rendered independent of any Government. The
Noble Earl had contradicted him flatly in the first sen-
tence, but had dwindled down to a probable contradic-
tion in the last. Truly, the Noble Earl ought to have
better grounds to go upon than these.
Lord CAMPBELL must agree entirely with his
Noble and Learned Friend opposite, that things should
not remain as they were ; and that, if it were necessary,
an Act of Parliament ought to be immediately brought
in to remedy the defect. The salaries of the judges
ought not to depend upon any arrangement be-
tween the judges and the Government. Now,
his Noble Friend who sat near him had
intimated no opinion en this subject—on the contrary,
he had stated in the most distinct terms, that the Noble
Lord, now at the head of the Government, would in-,
quire into it, and that, if it were necessary, an Act of
Parliament should be introduced for remedying the
'matter. There could be no doubt that if there had been
an Act of Parliament passed, if Lord Denman, or any of
his executors chose to insist on their rights, they would
.be entitled to recover the balance of the whole of the
specified salary, but he (Lord Campbell) must declare
that he never: heard •of such an Act. of Parlia-
ment. His Noble and Learned Friend opposite
ought, if he felt that these matters required
a remedy to have brought in an Act when he occupied
the seat on the Woolsack ; he was the party that
should have seen that all these things were right. His
Noble and Learned' Friend had said that he could
not have carrier sun a Bill. He (Lord Campbell)'
knew that his Noble and Learned Friend had carried
Bills despite of the large majorities with which his mea-
sures were threatened, and he also knew that if he had
introduced a Bill on this subject, it would have puled
both Houses of the Legislature with perfect
unanimity. His Noble and Learned Friend could not
say that he disapproved of the arrangement, and he
continued to hold the Great Seal, and he (Lard
Campbell) knew his spirit and his courage too well
to suppose that had he failed in carrying such a
measure he would not have continued to hold of ; he
would not suffer his opinion on such a subject to be over-
ruled. The Noble and Learned Lord, therefore, ap-
peared to him to blame himself, alter the manner of the
Pope, who said, “Jaclico me cremari." He acknowledged
himself to be in the wrong.
Lord BROUGHAM said, that if he took a share of
the blame to himself so must his Noble and Learned
Friend now on the Woolsack, who was his successor in
office, and who had likewise failed to introduce such a
Bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR disclaimed having any '
share in the blame; and the subject then dropped. .
ROPEMAKERS' BILL.
This Bill went through Committee, and the report was
ordered to be brought up on Thursday.
CORONERS' (IRELAND) BILL.
This Bill went through Committee, and the report was
ordered to be brought up on Thursday.
JUVENILE OFFENDERS' BILL.
The adjourned debate on the second reading of this
Bill was postponed.
Lord CAMPBELL had the authority of' the Chief
Justice of the Queen's Bench for this Bill, but thought age
should be an element in the consideration. And this
because the law on felony and misdemeanour got into
very fantastical conclusions. If a few hairs were to be
taken from a cow's or a horse's tail, and away carried,
that was a felony ; but if ten cart loads were to be taken
and brought back again, that would be only a misde-
meanour ; sad the subject was one of great importance,
and one requiring much consideration.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR thought it was clear
that a Bill of this importance could not receive its due
consideration, and he thought that the Noble Lord had
exercised a due discretion in withdrawing it. Of course
he could not be expected to give any opinion as to its
peculiar advantages now, but he would assure the
Noble Lord that it would receive the careful considera-
tion of the Government.
BATTERSEA PARK AND CHELSEA EMBANK-
MENT.
Viscount CANNING begged to move the second
reading of the Bill for the embankment of the north
bank of the river Thames from Vauxhall-bridge to
Battersea-bridge. With this embankment there was to
be a suspension bridge somewhere about Chelsea Hospital
, in connexion with Battersea Park as it is now intended
to be formed. The whole cost of these imprOvements
was estimated ' at 160,0001., but this was not to
he all a loss, or a cost, to the country, for
the Noble Marquis (the Marquis of Westmin-
I ster) and -Other owners of . mile: rty,, „..hat (laa
ttr subscribe to it to the amount of bet—ween 40,000/. and
50.000/ The tolls on the bridge were estimated at
OlOggle Per =Was which would give tea FT

- -
cent. on the cost of the bridge. The Bill had been
brought in under th,‘ sanction of the Boatd.of Woods
and Forests, and be trusted there:ore that it would pais
without opposition.
L.- rd KINNAIRD would suggest that, as the report
of the Committee of the Metropolitan Termini had been
laid on the table, the proposed bridge near Chelsea
Hospital might be made to serve the double purpose of
a Metropolitan passage of the bridge, and of a railway
communication across the Thames.
Viscount DUNCANNON be ieved that if there was
to be a railway communication at all, it would be far
we,o4ard of Chelsea Hospital.
The Bill was then read a second time; and their Lord-
ships a, journed.
