THE TRADES OF LIVERPOOL,
MOVEMENT FOR ADVANCED WAGES.

THE TAILORS AND THEIR /NSTITUTE.—At a public
meeting of the operatives on Tuesday night, Mr. John
Allen presiding, it was stated that the Tailors' Institute
was established three years ago, for the purpose of dis-
cussing the grievances of the trade and proposing remedies.
At first the institution went on very well, the number of
members who joined being about 1,500. A branch was
formed at Birkenhead, but in consequence of the falling
off of the members it had been given up. They had a
library and museum left, but no funds. An article
appeared in a paper of that day stating that the taiiors
were going to strike ; but he might refute that, for they
had no funds to strike with.—Mr. James Heaney said the
tailors were a prey to the slop and sweating system, and
urged upon his fellow-workmen the necessity of joining
the institute.—Mi. H. Smith, secretary, in supporting
the suggestion, said the tailors spent about £lOO a week
in neer, or at the rate of £5,200 per annum. A resolu-
tion to resuscitate the institute was unanimously adopted.
THE PILOTS.—At a meeting on Tuesday. a number
of the journeymen pilots, presided over by Mr. Philip
Foster, protested against the recent concessions as Co
towing vessels by steam, made under the idea that all
the journeymen would agree to such a course; applauded
the remark that " the journeymen pilots had to work
early and late, while a number of idlers ashore were re-
ceiving a share of their profits ; expressed the opinion
that ten or twelve men should build a boat and receive
the earnings for themselves; complained that the masters
had all the power over the men, that they received not
only too much authority but too much pay ; that there
was a practice of masters monopoli,ing the boats when
sold by auction ; and that the boats were, without excep-
tion, a disgrace to the age in which we live. Mr. D.
Evans said it ought to be known that in 1852 the boats
earned £64,000, and out of that only £29,000 was divided
amongst the working men. (Hear, hear.) After a num-
ber of speakers had addressed the meeting, the proceed.
ings terminated, it being understood that another meeting
would be called.

THE CORN PORTERS.—On Tuesday night last, the
corn porters, who were presided over by Mr. Moses
Cullen, adopted certain " Rules for the Government of
the Liverpool Corn Porters' Association and Burial
Society." The chairman said the progress of the asso-
ciation since its establishment was beyond anything
which could have been expected. They had met only
twice, and the number of members in the association was
now 150.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Living, it would
do good to them ; and if God should be pleased to call
them, their friends would have something with which to
give them decent interment. The reason why he made
these remarks was to show that they were determined to
go on straight, to do no injury and commit no offence,
