If you hare made any improvements which in are notfixed to tbe freehold yon may rtniove them ; but roi you must take care to remove them before your tennis ic actually aspired . ioi Taos Tesett , Bristol—I infer from ronr statement that thi the policeman did not take the house for any certain Si fixed period ; and it not , he is a mere Jenant-at-wiil , ar and may quit when lie pleases without notice . ek Hekbx Huchrs . —Your case , if I recollect ri ght , received ax an answer in last week ' s Star . H Willuh Dacmiosn , -Xewton Green—What is it that yt yon ? friend claims under John Itolsover ' s will ? Being l l the " grandson of the testator " ( who appears to have bi been dead nearly sixty year *) does not necessarily g ive bi him any interest uud- * r the \ viU .

J .-D ., ' Sheffield . —The patier you signed does not hind you to pay tbe debt unless you had •' separate property ;" nor will any future husband yon may marry belialdc to the payment of it . If , however , your late husband made a will and appointed you extcutvix , and yon have proved it , or if he d . cd intcstste and yon bare taken out litters cf administration , in cither case you are liable

      to the payment of the debt , in case you have assets . B . A ., yntttxaf basa . —I do not very clearly understand jonrh-tter ; bntifjon will tell me what children and grandchildren you have , and give me their names and ages , and what you mean to leave to each « . f them , 1 will prepare you a proper wi | l at the expense of a few shillings . Joseph Keelikg . —After yon have obtained a judgment for the debt yon may sell the things , but not beioie ; aud the sale must be made under tho authority of the court If the debt does-oot exceed £ 40 von may proceed in tbe Small Debts * Court H .

Thomas Jones . —It youcan prove the libel or slander , and can prove that you have been injured by it , yon may ming ah action for damages ; but it is to be hoped your landlord will make yt . asom-.- amends voluntarily and iriibont being cttnj-elled to do so .

      William JIooket .- Your letter of the 20 th « f tlu > month relates , I suppose , n , the monty about which I some rime since wrote to 3 fr O'Hryeu , of Cork , and who , in reply , stated that it would be paid as soon as letters of administration were taken out : if jou wish it , 1 will write again to Mr O'Bry en . Lett Lodge , iepton . —Without knowing what it is that Joseph Senior is proceeding against you for , and on what ground he rests his claim , it is impossible forme to give you any advice . Your letter leaves me quite iu tbe dark , even as lo the facts of the c- ^ se . 3 . H . Y-, Accringtou . —The parties wfco gave the order for the instruments are the parties who must pay for them ; bat after they hare paid for them they may , I conceive , maintain an action for tlie money laid ont and advanced against eaili defaulter for what lieagreed to pay . They must proceed in the Sm . 11 Uebu' Court , aiid most of ci-urse beable to prove their ease . ' ! i F I

The owners are ready tu sell i » ot to give , l « t sell } ou veryadvantageous terms sheseimpropriatious or plu !« leriugs , if the Church willlsay theiu . At the head of tliis society is Lord John Manners and the new-England party ; with a spnoidng of these impnyri .-irors . "Coming ereuts , cast tlnor siiadews beforef Ibis seems to me to ne one that is too significant to let pass in an ordinary way . It seems to me that this is a deep laid scheme . These fellows , sedng thattit'ies « ii 2 not hexi .-iidmuch longer , are about to wakethe best bargain thry can . They will sell their interest to the Church at a price pr . portionate to ihe present apparent tenure ; after that , t hey wil l . '

      when matters get to extremes , turn round on the Law Church , and take them away , and share them out again amongst one another . If they cannot do that , to - save their estates they will appropriate them to reducing the debt . -I hope your readers will reflect on this . —W , Gbeavs . IO , ilitre srreeO ' ew Cut . Cacitos . —Bew-ike op a Scovsutsh . —I would claim the indalgtnce of a line or two , in your widely-circulated journal , to put the public ou their guard against the base and unmanly trickery of a person , passing through society under the name of Dix—styling himself the author of "life of Cfiittcrtou f" Penand Ink Sketches offcets , Preachers and l'oliiieians , " & c .

When asked for paymmt , he deterred the t « me , rtan ' n ? he had a draft uponilr Rugae , the publisher , of Fleet-street , which ; ' '

      prored to be false . Time passing on . doubts began to be entertained as to the trutii or his statements , when suddenly he absconded , leaving the landlord minus Ms rent andboaid . It was then ascertained that he had practised his trit-kery to an-etmriai . ns extent . lie obtained fruW the libiary vf a . ors Willis , a widow , cooks to the amount of upwards < rf two pounds , three volumes of JJaiwer ' s " A ' ight a : > d iioniinjr , " three volumes of Cooper's " IlaventuesA , " .

"Upon making inquiries into bis -character , I ascertained that he bad practised these tricks upon dftTerent persons for months past . My otjject , tir , in writing this , is to warn the publi- against having dealings with . this swindler and ' | '

      robber , who is a scanoal aud disgrace to the honourable profession of li eratore .

      i , ' i Fjvbb is Lbbds . —We regret to find that the fever is on the increase in this town , and that the present accommodation has been found wholly inadequate to the wants of the suffering poor . The guardians of the poor of the township have rented Victoria Mill , near the House of Recovery , and already , we understand , there are one hundred and fifty cases of fever , which will be immediately removed to that place . The House of Recovery and the Fever Hospital are quite full , and there are eight cases at the Mendicity Office . In tbe whole township it is estimated that there are not less than from three hundred to-four hundred persons in the fever . Jbour policemen have been in the habit ot daily attending the Mendicity Office , to accompany the itinerant Irish to the outskirts of the town . Two of these policemen , in the discharge of this duty , have caught the fever , and another policeman , whose beat has has also

      . < | , , been in a neighbourhood where it prevails , had an attack . On Friday , a deputation ot three gentlemen , including the Rev . Edward Jackson , waited upon the magistrates , to ascertain whether thty had the power to close , for atime , those houses in which fever had existed , as it was the opinion ot medical gentlemen , that persons residing within them at present would be liable to take the disease . The object of the deputation was not accomplished , as the magistrates had no power to interfere , the consent of the owners of the property being necessary to such an arrangement . So far we have quoted tke Leeds Mercury . Our Leeds correspondent f ' * 1 )' 3 ;" "No leas than forty cases were admitted into the Victoria Mill on Saturday last . Wo arc sorry to hear that another Roman Catholic priest has caught the dreadful epidemic whilst vibiting the afflicted poor . "

      | « J. R T T ^ .. ' • "Unionfor The Jfik...

      | « J . r t ^ . . ' " Unionfor the JfiKiW . , '¦ Friends , —The Central Committee feel it , to be their duty this week to lay before you an account of the present demands ; upoii . Vnd opposition to your Associatedmeansiin entering upon which it will be necessary to call your attention , in the first place , to the primary objects of our Association . In doing this , we must refer you to . the preamble of ourtriilcs , where it will be found that tbe object of-our joining together is , " that by this organization each trade will multiply its powers fifty or a hundred fold , by being

      < J ebleto fight its individual battles with the whole strength of the Association . " By uniting together , then , we intend to add to our respective trades ' power tlie organised power and influence of the National Association , to enable the separate trades ' bodies , by joint efforts upon a national scale ,: to acj coroplish that which they would hot be' able to at T , tain by their individual strength . And when one portion of the members are attracted by the power of capital -with the view of reducing their income , the entire power of the whole union would be brought to bear on behalf of the trades thus attracted , and , by reciprocally strengthening each otherV invest them with a power whereb y the trades would effectually resist all aggressions upon their , rights and privileges . ' : : , ' . ' ' ' ¦ ¦ ;;¦• :- ¦¦

      This being one of the objects of the Association , it ' is necessary , in affording mutual assistance and protection to each other , we should be careful not to press , too heavily . upon the funds by -haying too many applications at the same time , and J ) y that means defeating our own purposes , and placing additional power iii , the hands of maniifactnrers , to . reduce the '^^ prices of Industry . If ^ jou desire , therefore , that" the objects of the Association ' should be realised , you must cheerfuHy and continually co-operate with the . Cciiti-aVCommittee , incarrying out the great objtfets of „ the union . ' Yon , know , . it will be' the

      amount of our financial 'Strength that muat ' ever determine tbe nature and spirit' of our exertions for Labour ' s emancipation , and ' tliat unless bur exchequer be well replenished with the accumulating pence of the members , the Central . Committee will not be able iu grapple with ; the crying evils which crush the hopes and prospects of the toiling millions ; and in proportion as this is attended to , in the same proportion will the' numerous trades' bodies , in connection with the NationaVAssociation . increase theiriiidividual power , as anticipated by the trades when they give in their adhesion .

      Having said this much , we feel it to be a duty devolving upon us to state the present demands upon our funds , and at the same time exhort you to do all in your power to ward off the threatening evils that hang over a considerable portion of our respective members . . -. . .. In the first place , we have on the funds receiving weekly support a vast number of individual cases who have been victimised for the active part they have taken in promoting the principles of the Association , it is a well-known and lamentable fact that even in our local efforts , to procure the rights of industry , we have had to experience the bitter evils of a cruel system of victimisation—and not unfrequently

      has it happened that the best and truest of our members have been the unfortunate objects of this detestable procedure . This system we consider tbe most dastardly and revolting that can be resorted to . But it is well known that it is the object of cup idity and wrong to lay its withering hand upon the bravest and most activein trades' unions ; to break the noblest spirits in society , that they may the more easily obstruct the movement , and paralyse the energies of the entire body ; so thatwheri the staffs and life-giving spirits of the societies are thus crushed by the strong hand of . Capital , the great mass soon succumb to the exaction of their taskmasters , however unjust . Thus their objects are defeated , and the

      unfortunate victims left to be spurned from the employer ' s door , ' and driven to the presence of a relieving officer to ask for bread , who brands him with union , and insultingly refuses his claims ; he returns to his fellow-labourers , but they for whose interests and welfare he has exposed his own interests , and plunged himself into difficulties from which he is unable to extricate himself , they , from fear , discard his company , and thus the very men whose battles he fought , and for whom he fell a victim to poverty and destitution , desert and forget , and ultimately drive him to seek aplace of resuge in a more humane aiid hospitable home than that which gave him birth . Now , the Association is determined to pursue a

      different method . It has determined that its eligible members shall not be suffered to sustain the untold sufferings of that blighting system of victimisation ; For if the capitalist aims a blow at the Association , by taking advantage of and sacrificing the most active of our members , the Union will take theiH up , and either find them'employment , or support them according to rule ; and by that means show employers the absurdity of imagining to destroy the National Association , by attempting to upset and ruin an individual belonging to our great combination . We have numbers of such cases in different parts of the conntry who have fallen victims to this dishonourable course , adopfed by some employers . .

      But , in addition to these cases , we have a considerable number of different trades who have been offered reductions by their employers , but , having proceeded legally , have now turned out in defence of the rights of Labour , and are supported from tbe funds , in conformity with rule . Besides these there are a great number who have been set to work , and continue working for the Association . To this we wish particularly to call your attention . Wc have commenced to manufacture for ourselves , and

      consequently we shall want a market to dispose of our goods ; and where is the market to be found ? who are to become our consumers ? Thess arc questions which can soon be answered . The market we must create ourselv e s , by becoming consumers of our 0 WII manufactured goods . We cannot hope that those whose interests are opposed to our own will assist us in carrying out our objects , by purchasing our goods . Should they do so , we will receive them cheerfully , and deal with them fairly and honourably . But to them we must not trust—we must

      consume our own goods . Each individual member must wear the Association ' s stockings , and their little ones the Association's socks . We must wear our own boots and shoes , and gloves and shirts . We strongly recommend to our members the propriety of purchasing their check shirting from their own men ; we have a considerable quantity of firstrate quality of check shirting , such as cannot be surpassed by any shop in the kingdom . In order to assist in disposing of our goods we would also suggest to the . vavic-vis district committees the propriety of appointing a responsible person , who can give the requisite security , to become the agent for the sale of goods in their respective localities ; and by that means give facility to our commercial enterprise , and assist in consuming the products of our own tinen .

      [ Another particular subject to which we wish to direct attention , is a very important one in Manchester . The silk-pickers in the employ of Mr Smith of tLat town were offered a reduction in the price of their labour , to a considerable extent . The consequence is , the men are now on strike , and . through the unavoidable connection that subsists between the trades at this firm , a number of the weavers who could not obtain warps were obliged to cojv'o out too . A number more were offered work , prow'ding they would weave the warps picked by " Nob \ ticks , " but they very promptly declined to spin a y ope to hang themselves with ; and consequently v * * re turned out . So that we have now on

      the funds , and receiving support from this mill alone , npwai'ds of a hundred hands . We want , therefore , the i > arty response and cheerful co-operation of our members , to-assist in conducting this affair to a successful termination . Let us determine whether the Association is to be put down by the attacks of capitalist * » let us show to the world that working men are fixi d , by legal aud constitutional means , to protect the rights of Industry . The demands of the men arc ju' ** and equitable , such as no rational man , with the . least spark of Christian philanthropy , would object to concede . We liove no ill-will to Mr Srii / th , nor to any oilier manufacturer in the kingdom . Onr object is to

      conserve the rights and protect the interests of just and honourable employers , as well as that of the men . We are not ignorant of the faVt , that an unprincipled employer will so reduce k'is men , as to execute orders , and supply the market with goods it a considerably lower price than the . more honourable employer , who is not desirous to fcike the least advantage of his workmen . But when bis neighbour is enabled to get up the same work . so much cheaper . than himself , it is impossible for him to compete in the same market ; he is , therefore , in many instances , compelled , through his dishonourable neighbour , to take steps towards his men which his own heart and nature recoils from ; Mid employers are beginning to see that the Na *

      tipnal Associationwiil enable thera , by . . the co-operation ' qftheir men , ; toheat down ' that low » nd covetous spirit that characterises the generality of uniwincipled employers . Butto return to Mr Smith ' s men . This ' gentleman asserts that he is giving a higher price than some of his neighbours j but we beg to remind him that for some articles tie is giving the lowest price , and for nothing is he giving the best price . A deputation has waited upon him , with tlie view of adjusting this matter , whom he received very kindly , and treated them courteously , but he could not be induced to accede to the re-J quests of the men . The consequence is , the men are obliged to contest the question with their

      employer , and-it is for the members to , say . '' whether the men' shall be aided by your spirited co-operation , and show to employers , the folly of attempting to do battle with the strong 1 hand of a National Association of Working Men . j We . would tell Mr Smith and all other employers , that the working classes have learned a better method of managing their own affairs than the old isolated system , that has invariably suffered the price of labour to degenerate to a fearful ratio , while it has' been investing ike capitalist with additional power to crush the surviving , though enervated , , energies of the toiling millions . But such things must be . so ne longer . Working men are taking a i clearer and . wiser view of their own concerns , and

      adopting the most effective means . to enhance their individual interests and their national independence , —and onr concluding advice is , be firm , —let no power shake your confidence , —continue in-J he good cause , and victory , full and entire , shall crown our laudable exertions .

      R The Central Committee Of The Above Flo...

      r The Central Committee of the above flourishing Institution met on Monday , and following days , for the transaction of general business , T . S . "Duncombs , Esq ., M . P ., in the chair . An immense mass of correspondence was read from all parts of the kingdom , and the minutes of the preceding " meeting were read and confirmed . The following reports have been also received from the different agents ;— ¦' "" MANCHESTEn . —Mr Parker reported on Tuesday , the 22 nd ult ., a large meeting was held in the People ' s Institute , Heyrod-street , called by the Powerloom Weavers , to hear the principles of the National Association of United Trades expounded . Messrs Kobson ; Williamson , and Parker , severally entered into details , to the satisfaction ot the audience . Resolutions approving of the Association were carried

      unanimously . Several questions were put to Messrs Robson and Williamson , as members of the Central Committee , by a portion of the hands in the employ of Mr Clark , who is endeavouring to force a reduction in prices , as to their not being supported . Messrs R . and W . answered because they had struck without the sanction of the Central Committee , a course of procedure they would always set their faces against , as being subversive of ail order and regularity , and from other causes . The answers appeared to give satisfaction to the audience . Votes of thanks were passed to Mr Buncombe , the Northern Star , and the deputation , and a resolution , that al ) power-loom weavers who wished , to join should meet in the hall on the following Friday . The meeting then adjourned ,

      The Manchester District Committee met as usual at the Railway Inn , Dcansgate , on Wednesday evening . Messrs Parker and Bailey were appointed a sub-committee to conduct the affairs in connection with the differences existing between Mr Smith and his hands , who are receiving support from the central committee , in consequence of the failure of all other attempts at reconciliation . It is to be hoped that all trades in arrears will forward their levies to enable the central committee to meet this and many other demands . Messrs Goulding and Parker were appointed to attend a meeting of a branch of the woollen trade at Bury ; they did so , and after a very

      able aud instructive address from Mr Goulding , seventy-one put down their names to join forthwith Stockport . —Mr J , W . Parker attended , a meeting on Friday of all trades , at the Lyceum Hall , by invitation .. He expla- ' ned at great length the intentions and progress of the association to an exceedingly numerous audience . Many questions were asked , and answered satisfactorily . This meeting was one of the most important of the kind ever yet held in Stockport . Votes of thanks to Mr Buncombe , the Star , and the lecturer , were passed wianimausly . The meeting then dissolved , evidently delighted with the proceedings ,

      THE COiiB-MAKERS OP SHEFFIELD AND TBE NATIONAL TRADES' UNION . Amcctmg of the body ol comb-makers in Slufficlu connected with the local trade union , was held on Tuesday evening last , at the Parrot Inn , Sheffield Moor , for tho purpose of hearing an address upon the princi ples und tendency of the National Trades' Union . It was expected that Mr Robson , a deputation from the national body in London , would have been present , but being unavoidably detained in Manchester , Mr George Hall , of Cornhill , ShemcM , an operative , was in attend , anue to give the requisite information . The chair was taken by Ijfr John Hodkiw , who briefly explained the object of the meeting ' .

      MrGsoEOE Halz , commenced bis address by stating that Mr Eobeon had been called to Manchester , on Sa t urday mornin g , to take the place of Mr Williamson , one of the Central Committee , who had been down there from London , arbitrating a dispute on the part of some worltmen , but who had been prevented by illness from cairying the arbitration on . Although he could not pretend to know eo much of tbe association as Mr Robson , who had been connected with it from the commencement , yet he hoped they would excuse his attempt to explain its constitution and objects , ( Hear , hoar . ) He observed that William ilowitt , an authority recognised by working men , said , the tendency of society on the cnehand was to accumulate wealth—to create a number

      of capitalists , —while on the other hand was extreme povcrtyand wretchedness ; and that the only remed y for this state of things was eo operation on the part of the work ing classes , in order to secure that which the hi gher classes had secured in the shape of capital , —namely , to secure capital for themselves iu the shape of wages . ( Hear . ) if tbey looked around them , they found that those trades , In which the most improvement had been made in the mode and facility of production were in the most depressed condition , and the reason was because capital had enabled masters to take advantage of those improvements ; consequently the remuneration of tho worltmen became gradually diminished , and society in general was injured ; proving that instead of such changes being for the benuflt of tlie whole , they were

      calculated to injure , to impair , and to destroy . Seeing this state of things , local unions had been formed , and Sheffield had endeavoured to improve her condition by doing so , According to tho intelligence and the practical information they had , they thought union and co-operation would prevent the c-vils which seemed ready to overcome them . Sbc-ffield bad shown as fair a specimen of union as ever had existed in the country . Bat when they took a retrospect of tbe local unions they might say that they had universally failed . Any reasonable man would ask why they had failed ? What had been the primary cause 1 First , ho would say , the reason was because production had never been regulated according to the demand . Unless t his was done , no matter In what trade it might be , they could not main .

      tain the particular prices they would wish to obtain , because it was the natural tendency of the production exceeding the demand that there should bo a glut in a market , and there being such g lut , working men could not pretend to get so much for th « ir labour as when the demand was equal to the supply . This bad been the case with all trades , except these whirh were confined to few hands , and that was an artiOcial state of things which would soon be put an end to , if tho papulation went on multiplying as at present . Though t here mi ght be trades in which a limited inumber were employed , yet look at the spring-knife trade , for instance , how sadly their wageahad been reduced in consequence of a superabundance of hands in the market to perform the labour required !

      and most of the political economists taught them that , whenever trade was to be made profitable at a time that the number of hands ready to do certain work exceeded the number necessary to do it , the only plan to adopt was to give a new direction to labour . What bad t hey found in past times ? Taking the case of tbe combmakers , had they not teen the mere change of fashion or alteration of custom give a severe shock to their interests , by throwing a groat number of men out of employment : When such a crisis took place , t hose poor mon had been left to wander about unaided and with none to guide them , unless , perchance , tbe capitalist skould be looking out , anxious to take advantage of the surplus labour thus created . Was it not apparent , then , that the working classes required to have some power in the State to guide and assist them in cases of diflicuty , and to carry out the recommendations of those

      political economists he had alluded to , in giving a new direction to the labour of those who might be thrown out of employment ! ( Hear , hear . ) This was cue of the aiming points of the National Association—its supporters wanted to establish such a power in the country . They wanted to create a capital to be relied upon in cases of difficulty , but still not to be eaten up . No capital , however large , would be able to maintain itself or the per . sons who would havo to live upon it , if it were merel y created to be eaten up . The question should be , «• How can we best employ i t ? ' * The National Association bad already been enabled to accomplish more for the working classes tbau any local unions had done in thirty or forty years . And how was this 1 By carrying out the self-employment principle . Whenver a trade was throw n out through the masters seeking to make a reduction , an arbitrator would be sent down from the Central Committee to reason with the roaster and endeavour to mike terms with him , and there had beep many cases ( some of which th « speakw enumwatcd ) in wbisb tfii ) iQrt Of

      mediation , and the moral influence of the ' association which had b »> n brought to bear upon these diiputes , had affected the most satisfactory results . ( Hear , hear ) . The reason why he was an / admirer of this in . stitutioti wash , cause it enabled the ' working classes to secure a fair remuneration for their labour by moral means . Ihcvnteretts of all their class were identified , and unless all the workmtn connected with a particular trade entered the association , redaction of price would still exist , however they might struggle . s' If , ont of 1150 mea belonging toa . 'brsncli , 60 refused to Join , they would be a drag upon tho others a »> d prevent prices being ira « piovd . Unles * there was a eo-uperatloh of the whole , their progress would be frustrated . Tbty'had alwayi told the masters and the world at large 1 that they would

      be content to be the emp loyed , and the capitalist to he the employ *!; but this a » sociaiion exhibited to them a new KtaW of thing ' s . It taught tlf « m the wjay in w hi c h to secure a fair remanerarion tor their labour which was their ri ght , and to secure It In a fair and honourable way , without compulsi-n on thr-ir part , but by means of sel' -employmeut , ( Hear , hear . ) An attempt bad been made tu take advantage of the ' fraraework-knttters ia I Notting ham . They belonged to the National Association , land applied to the Central Committee for . assistance . j A d .-putation was sent down to endeavour to dissuade j ibe employers from making the threatened reduction , I but it was useless to attempt an arbitration with thenu The as » oeiution then determined to employ the mea themielves . An agentwas appoint-d to purchase frames ,

      . and thesis were now being worked for the asgoeiation , ana tho employed were receiving better wages than be * fore . H-.-w men could benefit themselves by union ! Thifl could nevtrhave tnken place if the whole body had not been well organised and bent o ' pun taking * np a defensive position . If the principle of the National Association was an improvement upon the past . they were bound , as reasonabkmen , to tfve it their sanction . And tho only certain way to be successful was by an amalgamc-[ tiouofall the trades in the country . Local unions bad ) j not had sufficient power to marshal their forces ao as to overcome all encroachments on their rights . The National Socioty asked thtm to invest their money with them at the rate of four per cent , interest , instead of placing it in baiiku , where it might be lent out and made

      to operate antagonistically to their well-being . They hoped in this way to accumulate a large capital , and to be in a condition to do far more for the good of all than an isolated body possibl y could do . There alwa js had been , wanting a superintending body , to control the whole , arbitrating for tbe whole , and prevailing any clashing of interest among the working cla » s , such as they had wit . nesssd in by-gone days . Another and not an inferior object of the association was the moral elevation ot those who belonged to it . They would sUdly see in every town a hall built by the working classes for their own purposes , and this would be a grand step towards removing ilium from those contaminating influences with whicb tbe public-house abounded . Self-r . spect could not be too strongly inculcated upon tbe working classes , lur it

      was certain , when they arrived at a proper sense oi their own importance and position , the attainment of those other oi'jfcts for which they w . r « struggling would be comparatively easy . Mr Hall then went on to read extracts from the last report of the association , elucidating soma of its opt rations . Hi explained also how the financial affairs were conducted , and informed the meeting that each trade was ' allowed to return its own average receipt of wages , twopence in the pound per number , upon which was charged for contributions , and in case of a strike a man who had returned his average wages at £ l would rec e i v e Ms . 6 d . a week from the associations A leading feature of tlie association was , however , to avoid strikes . They did not believe in them . Theyalwayn instituted a rigid inquiry as tn nho was wrong , masters or workmen , and they maintained that the interests of

      both classes wvre identified so long as . fcoih acted np . ri ghtly and with fairness . He concluded by saying that to improve th- ir condition satisfactoril y they taust do it themselves . ( IJt-ar , be . tr ) To do it successfully must be tho result of tlieij vvm efforts , and they hod the pow «? if they would but . use it in 11 proper woiinr . r , the ? w « o the producers cf .. everything . Tiie masters weie 0 & I 5 the holders of capital , Tfiu working liifn were the producers Ol wealth and trerrildajt whkh was consumed ^ but even while th * y did this ths-y were the slaves < .

      - The CiuiBHAN said Mr Kail nas desirous of answering any question which the meeting might think proper to put , and he begged there might be 110 reserve in making ? inquiries upon points which might not appear to have been sufficiently expl « iued , A number of very important questions were avkeot and satisfactorily answered , and the meeting separated . —From < he " Sheffield Times . " . % g- All cortespoi dence on the business of the Association must he addressed to Mr Thomas Barratt , secretary , No . 11 , Tottenham Court Koad , London . All post-office orders must lie made payable to Mr Barratc , at the Bloomebury post-office . The price of cards and rules arc one penny each , and will be charged to the accounts of the trades in the next balance sheet , if not paid prior .

      The trades are further informed , that in consequence of the late Conference appointing a permanent committee to transact ihe business of the association , the services of Air S . Jacobs as a missionary are discontinued .
