Tar WEAvERs.-The approach Of winter, with
its very possible contingencies, has awakened
this, the only live body Of trades unionists in
the city. They are holding very lnterestiug
meetings semi.Occasionally, which are enliven-

in which all participate, and many display
thorough knowledgs Of the causes leading to
trade depression, and of the most probable
means Of preventing its entire burden falling
upon the producer. These meetings operate so

therly feeling, which has ever animated the
craft 10 this city. Other unions would find it

From the London Bee Hive.
At meeting Of the Council, Oct. 18th.
Mr.. APplegarth in the chair, letter from
Paris announced the formation Of trade So
cieties among the operative butchers, news
papers employees, organ builders; and other
trades. The members Of the socialist unions
are rapidly increasing. Kindred unions are
being formed ct ROubaix. The occurrence at
Aubin has created much bad blood among
the Paris workmen. Amongst the IA killed
there was but one Of the striking miners,
two women, and one child. The rest were
men who had just left the forge when they
were hred upon. The slaughter would have
been greater had not many Of the soldiers
bred upwards, which is testified by the bull
lets and bullet marks in the roof of the
forge. Five have since died Of their
wounds. The Paris workmen make coIlec-
tons for the victims as well as for the wool
spinners Of Elbeuf.
The Sailors Union of Marsellles has re-
solved to establish branches in all the
French seaport towns.
The International Bookbinders' Union Of
Leipsic has resolved to admit females as
members Of the Union. The Union en-
braces all the various branches Of the paper
and book making trades.
The bankers of Vienna HAYS obtained a
shOrt-lived victory. In consequence Of the
intermeddling Of the police, the masters pre-
tended to agree TO the demands of the men,
but hardly had they resumed work wher
they discovered that the great majority o.
the masters had not the remolest intention
TO comply with the request OF the men
they have, therefore, turned ous again il
many shops. The police are pOwerless &
prevent either the formation Of trade socie
ties or strikes, they shoot ap like mushroom
