• , Immed•ately after the'oreeting of the masters, Brad-
' ford was thronged by opes atives, wait;ng with great
anxiety the result, which was communicated to them
by handbills *bent half-past one o'clock. As soon after
as was found practical, Tester addressed them from the
Roebuck; he advised them not, on any account, to,
turn in without some advance of wages, if it was bet
small, and the respective workmen ef each mister to
Consult him. oh the subject that afternoon, and to report
the result to the Committee sitting at the R kebuck, for
' their approbation. He informed them what he had
' never developed before—that during the strike each
week had depended upon its own resources; and al-
though they had comet rues a surplus after the week's
disbursements, yet their funds were never its such a
state as enabled them at any one time to possess the
amount of two weeks' payments. If any of them
could not agree with their masters, they were to come
back to the Committee, and funds should be provided
for them.
Groups were in const-quence seen assembling in the
streets ; the workmen belonging to each mill collecting
together, in order to adopt Ore most proper mode .1
meeting the master!. They consulted together for the
purpose of forming a sort r f Committee or Deputation
from among themselves, to discuss the matter with the
master!, and agree upon what advance the men at that
mill were to turn in. Having made the appointment,
they went to the warehouses, and during their absence,
the streets were completely cleared, the rain falling
heavily. On the return of the several deputations ti-
the Roebuck, they were met by their fellow-workmen,
anxiously inquiring the result ? After the different re-
ports had been delivered to the Committee the men met
behind the Roebuck, where the answers of the manufac-
turers were read by T. Eveleigh.
Being a subject of importance we have taken pains,'
to get a correct list of the several firms who have been
applied to, and the answers they have returned to the{
deputations.
Mr. Richard Smith would deduct slapence from the wages of the
weavers, but the comber, might go and work at the old wars.
Messrs. Margerison and Peckover would allow no advance, but
would accept them at the old prices.
Messrs. Hollings and Stansbeld would allow no advance; did not
want one half of the hands.

Mr. John Mason—The men might go in at the .ld prices, if they
pleased, but no advance would be given.
Mr. Matthew Thompson—Does not want ten combers. The
ambers bad beater turn in and do their work, than let it be done
by Big Boa&
Mesas. John Rand and Sons—The state of the trade would no
admit of any advance.
Messrs. Basilian and Benson—None wanted.

Mr. Robert Hargreaves—No advance.
I Messrs. Leach and Cousen—No advance. The weavers made an
offer to turn in at half the intended advance, but the reply was,
they could not do &Mat present.
Messrs. it. Fawcett and ilea—Would try to set their old hands
on again, but could not do It all at once. They would be guided
by others with respect to the Union.
Messrs. Wm. Rouse and Soo--Could not do anything for them
at present. Could not give the advance. They did net expect the
men would tura in without sense advance.

Messrs. Thomas HoHaworth would lay on a penny per lb. if
others would, and give the advance when others do. He would
give a farthing per lb. on some sorts of wool now, if the men would
take k.--They refused.
Messrs. Turner, Stowell, and Mkchell—lbe men might go to
work at the old prices, and they would give the advance when car.
cumstances would admit of it.
Mr. John Wood, jos. would take the men into his service, but
would make nu advance till the trade would allow It.
J. WA LWORTH They had heard the determina-
tion of their masters. Their own determination was
not to turn in till they had obtained some advance. If
they continued to maintain that firmness, peace, and
good order, for which they had hitherto been noticed,
they (the Committee) would do all in their power to
procure them a continuance of that support which
they had been lecubtertied to receive.
Hot.taxs and Tssita then addressed them.—The
latter recommended them to return thanks to their
friends, and to solicit their aid, till they return to their
work again, which he believed would not be just yet.
The masters felt for them, and passed the resolution
which hid been published that day, under the impres-
sion that the Men had a strong disposition to turn in at
the old prices, which was erroneous and he was appre-
hensive they would -not stand in need of their mighty
favour this side of Christmas at any rate. They were
not desirhui of going to utrifk on those conditions—
(Cries of No, we never will—not these seven years-tee
don't want, drc) With respect to the rent-day, he did
not think they would be set fast ; if they could not do,
whit they expected, it would be because they were de-
ceived, and they would not blame them.—Tne Meeting
separated a Lute before six o'clock.
