London, eth March.-The general meeting Of
operatives convened last Tuesday at Birming ham,
adopted the following resolutions -
That the members of this meeting are of opinion
that, after a long and painful struggle, they have
ascertained that talents, industry and frugality
could secure them from distress, and the humiliation
of having recourse for relief to parish assistance
which assistance has been reduced to the lowest
point, that will maintain life.
That the meeting views with alarm the strange
anomaly of people naked and dying with hunger
in country Astounding in subsistence and articles Of
cothing-tha it is of opinion that the great proper
tons of labourers in manufactures well in agr
culture are really dying Of hunger, and that then
employers are the brink of ruin. and still that
adequate remedy is applied to this disastrous state
of things.
That the meeting ascribes the distress thus preva
lent among the whole manufacturing interest of Eng
land. to the arbitrary alterations in the currency
which causing perpetual variation in the value o
agricultural and other products, and violation o
contracts, takes all stability from the employment
the productive classes, and causes reduction in the
salaries
