LANCASHIRE EMPLOYERS OF OPERATIVE ENOI•
NEERS.—The great employers of labour in this department
of trade in Lancashire had a meeting on Tuesday evening
at the Clarence Hotel, Manchester, at which they decided
on joining and becoming a portion of the Central Associ•

T. B. Sharp; of the firm of Sharp Brothers and
Manchester. The meeting appeared to be unani-
mous in their determination to resist every attempt at
dictation on the part of the men as alike injurious to
employer and employed ; an
esta

shments had singly resisted such attempts at dicta-
tion on former occasions, and had been successful. Some,
however, had not shown sufficient firmness, and had be-
come the slaves of their men, and submitted to the
grossest tyranny, dictated by a few unseen agitators.
We learn that there is a good deal of sympathy with the
employers under the extraordinary dictation attempted,
and that though many of them are under bonds or engage.
merits to complete machinery by a given time, their
customers have signified the greatest readiness to extend
the utmost amount of indulgence that may be sought in
the completion of their contracts.--The committee of the
association met on Friday afternoon at the Clarence
Hotel, to decide upon the steps to be taken in respect to
r. the demands of the workmen. It was reported by sm..

ral of the masters that the members of the Amalgamated
Society of Engineers, Machinists, &c., had not availed
themselves of the opportunity afforded them of disavow-
ing and withdrawing the demands made upon their em-

ployers, and that the same had in several Instances been
enforced. It was therefore resolved unanimously that
the establishments of the members of the association
Shall be closed on the 12th of January (this day week).
During the sitting of the committee in Manchester, a
telegraphic message was forwarded to the London com-
mittee to the above effeot, and in about an hour an
answer was received saying that the London employers
had passed a similar resolution in respect to their esta-
blishments. We are, then, on the eve of one of those
unfortunate turn-outs which are alike disastrous to the
interests of employers and workpeople, but we hope that
the matters in dispute may be arranged without a pro.
longed suffering of the disadvantages attendant on such
proceedings.—Manchester Courier.

HEALTH COMMITTEE.--At a meeting of this body on
Wednesday, neither Mr. Parker, the chairman, nor Mr.
Bennett, the vice-chairman, being present, Mr. Langs-
dale was called upon to preside. The members present
were Messrs. Lloyd, Nicholson, Johnson, Chalmer, Dover,
Henderson, Atkinson, Tyrer, and Beckwith. The medi-
cal officer of health reported that the rapid variations of
temperature, and the moist and foggy state of the atmos-
phere, had had an unfavourable effect upon the health of
the town, the deaths registered during the fortnight end-
ing on the last Saturday of 1851 having been 484, while
the average of the corresponding period of the three pre-
ceding years was only 418. The mean temperature of
last week was 40 1-10 degrees, and of the previous week
43 4-19 degrees; but the temperature was unusually va-
riable, the highest being 50i degrees on the 21st, arid the
lowest 31 3.10 degrees on last Saturday. The rainfall
each week amounted to only 10.100ths of an inch ; but
Mr. Hartnup stated that the deposit of moisture during
the fog of Tuesday, in last week, was so great, that about

3.looChs of an inch (equivalent to a moderate shower of
rain) collected in the rain guage. A return was read of
the receipts and payments on account of the establishment
of baths and washhouses, for the three months ending the
30th Nov., 1851. They were as follows :—Cornwallis.

street £3B 17s. ld., and George's Pier-head £l6 ss. 11d.,

(total £55 Os. 2d.,) leave a loss to the Borough Fund of
£6O Os. 9d. A memorial was read from the inha-
bitants of Pitt-street and Great George-street Wards,
praying for the establishment of wash-houses in that
neighbourhood. Mr. Lloyd observed that the plans
and specifications for the Frederick-street wash-houses
of a very

were now nearly ready, and, in ...
short time, the engineer would be:prepared to advertise
for tenders to get the work done. When these premises
were completed, the neighbourhood of Pitt.street and
Great George-street would be supplied. Metter was read
from Mr. Picton, tendering his resignation as a member
of the committee. The library and museum committee
occupied so much of his time that he was unable to attend
properly to his duties a' The
