a word more , nnd it is obvious that the conditions proposed by the infers have no reference to anything , t h at can Tmroerb- be called their interest in the trade . The object of X conditions manifestly is to humble and ^ degrade tho men in the eyes of the world , and / which is more important ) in their own estimation . If the masters will withdraw these conditions , every man will be glad to ascribe them to the dictates of anger , and to view their withdrawal as the result of calm reaction and good feeling ; but if they obstinately persevere when they have had ample time for reflection , every one must come to the conclusion that their motives are of a description not very creditable to them . "
CENTRAL CO-OPEEATIVE AGENCY . Weekly Report , Feb . 24 to March 1 . The A gency transacted business with the following stores : —Galashiels , Leeds , Booking , Stockport , Banbury , Bamp , Bury , Brighton , Guildford , Portsea , Ullesthorpe , "Woolwich , Bradford , and Halifax . The Agency reminds the public that the samples of cobourgs , merinos , alpacas , and ribbons are still on view at their offices , and may be sold in small lengths to private customers desirous of consuming the produce of Working Men ' s Associations . Samples have already been sent in town on demand . By the statement in the last number of the Journal of Association it is seen that adulteration has found its way into the
manufacture of cloths by the introduction of shroddy ( old wool rc-spun ) , instead of the genuine material . The produce of Workin g Men ' s Associations are to be free from all sophistication of this sort , and the Agency intend paying great care in this respect to the goods consigned to them . After the organization of Co-operative Stores and of Cooperative Associations , the next step to be taken is to establish the best mode of dealing between them , either for the goods of their own produce , or for the goods they can supply more advantageously than the competitive trade . This to be the beginning of * co-operative trade and commerce . Two modes of dealing are now in use or in contemplation among co-operators . Some prefer going direct
from one association to another , the shoemakers asking hats from the hatters , the tailors asking cloth direct from the cloth makers . Some others prefer acting through the Agency , whose functions are to enter into and keep connexion with all for the profit of each individual body , through the means of the same correspondence , bookkeeping , & c . It is good after all that : the experiment should be tried on both skies , whilst it remains the duty of the Central Co-operative Agency to maintain its principle of commercial action through common commercial centres , whereby a great saving of time , money , labour , and exertion is obtained , together with better results from
having all things done regularly and professionally . Mutual exchanges , and especially mutual credit , are utterly impossible without a co-ordination of mutual resources and mutual efforts through a common factor . Each individual or each body becoming his own factor for all things is falling back to the lowest degree of the scale of civilization , by suppressing at once the incalculable benefits of division of labour , whereas co-operative industry in its progressive paths over competitive and conflictive industry , implies a both sided development of more minutely divided functions , and more closely united workmen and workshops .

Ireland. The Members Of The Irish Bar Mu...
IRELAND . The members of the Irish bar mustered strong in tho Court of Chancery on Saturday last for the purpose of bidding farewell to the out-going Chancellor , the Right Honorable Maziere Brady , and expressing their deep sense of his zeal , kindness , and impartiality . The Lord Chancellor replied in suitable terms , and was deeply affected . On the same day a deputation from the Royal Dublin Society presented Lord Clarendon with an address on his retirement from the Viceroyalty . It is stated tlmt the new administration , on tho urgent demand of Lord Naas and other persons of influence connected with tho ultra-Tory party in Ireland , have consented to the restoration of the Earl of Roden to tho commission of tho peace for tho county of Down , from which ho had been removed by Lord Clarendon , in consequence of the transactions connected with Dolly ' s I 3 nio .
War With Bur Mail The Electric Telegraph...
WAR WITH BUR MAIL The electric telegraph from Trieste , where tho steamer from Alexandria arrived on Saturday last , brought the news to London of the commencement of a Burmese war . The misunderstanding , which hn ? at last readied this climax , arose thus : —In tho month of November , Captain Lewis , tho commander of a British merchantman , was . subjected by the Burmese governor of tho port of Rangoon to unprecedented exactions , and at last to barbarous Hl-umigc , in contemptuous violation of the treaty of Yandaboo , by which tho King of Ava Undertook " to abolish all exactions on British ships or vessels in Barman ports , tbat arc not required from Burman vessels in British ports . " Another equally flagrant case was that of Captain tthoppard , commanding anothor ship , who was subjected to similar indignities . Complaints having boon ljiado to tho Supreme Government at Calcutta by those- gontlomoh , and by inoro than a hundred British residents at Rangoon , tho Jj \) x frigate , and tho Company ' s steamer Tunas-scrim , which wore soon joined by two or throe other steamers , were sent under command of Commodore Lambert , with Captain Latter of tho Bengal Army as interpreter , to demand an apology , and a sum of 1000 J .
as reparation for the insult and injury to the merchant captains and to British honour . The Governor of Rangoon temporized , sent visits and letters ef ceremony to the Commodore , while he was collecting troops and mounting guns . On the 4 th of January , a new Governor arrived at Rangoon from Ummerapoora / the capital of the empire , with the powers of Viceroy . He began by refusing to receive anymore deputations from the English Commodore , and began to erect stockades and batteries .
Commodore Lambert immediately proclaimed a blockade of the mouths of the Irrawaddy . On the 9 th of January , the Viceroy wrote to the Commodore , that if be did not at once open the passage of the river , he would order the batteries to open their fire . The frigate Fox and the steamer Hermes were attacked by the batteries soon after , while passing . They replied to the fire , destroyed the fortifications , and killed three hundred of tho enemy . We must wait for the arrival of the mail for more detailed particulars .
The Church In The Colonies. The Followin...
THE CHURCH IN THE COLONIES . The following is the bill introduced by Mr .

National Defences. A Sum Of 12,000?. Is ...
NATIONAL DEFENCES . A sum of 12 , 000 ? . is set down in the army , estimates this year for a camp of exercise : last year , onl y 1000 ? . were voted for this purpose . It is supposed that a large body of troops of all arms will be brigaded , and ; that SalisBuri Plain will be the place of rendezvous . The Coast Guard , a picked body of efficient and experienced seamen , are , up to this very day , armed with oldfashioned flint-lock muskets . Parties of officers and sergeants from the Guards , the Rifle Brigade , and many of the line regiments , have been sent to Woolwich for the purpose of practising with , and learning the management of , the Minie * rifles . They are under the command of Major Brownrigg , of the Grenadier Guards . From the army estimates for the current year , it appears that , for the recruiting service , to the 31 st of March 1853 , the charge to be provided is 19 , 3547 . 11 s . Id ., of which 31017 . 16 s . is for the service in London . The Dockyard men at Pembroke are now activel y engaged in finishing the Windsor Castle . She is to be fitted with a screw propeller , will carry 140 guns , arid will be by far the largest vessel in the British navy . Her twin vessel with regard to the screw propeller will be the Royal Albert , 120 guns , now building at Woolwich . The Windsor Castle will be fitted with the engines originally destined for the Simoom steam-frigate . They are of 780 horsepower , by Mr . Robert Napier , of Glasgow . With engines of this power , the Windsor Castle will be the most
formidable floating battery on the waters . On Wednesday , a meeting of inhabitants of Southwark was held at the Bridge House Hotel , Wellington-street , London Bridge , to adopt measures in opposition to the enrolment of the militia . Apsley PeUatt , Esq ., took the chair . It was urged that the fear of invasion was idle ; and that , in any case , government had ample means of defending the country already in its hands . A petition to Parliament , embodying these views , was adopted . A trial has been recently made at Woolwich , under the direction of Colonel Chalmers , Royal Artillery , with a small belt revolving pistol of Colt ' s manufacture * when it
was found that even by men unaccustomed to the use of this arm , ' great precision could be attained even at a distance of fifty yards ; out of forty-eight shots , all of which hit the target , twenty-five took effect within a space of one foot square , and thirteen hit the bull ' s-eye , six inches in diameter . This pistol can be fired fifteen hundred times with one cleaning , and the ball will penetrate through six indies of deal board . A report to the American Secretary of War from a Board of Ordnance officers , ordered to report on various repeating rifles , and improved carbines , declares , that a weapon named Sharpe ' s rifle , loading at the breech , is the best that has been submitted to their inspection , and decidedly superior to the Prussian needle gun .
Starvation And Laudanum. Maeciiant, A Po...
STARVATION AND LAUDANUM . Maeciiant , a polico constable , brought a poor , sickly , careworn man , very thinly clad , before Mr . Yardley , at tho Thames Police-office , on Wednesday , and stated that on Tuesday afternoon hG was called by the wife of tho prisoner , whose name was John Lander , and that she told him that her husband had purchased two separate pennyworths of laudanum at two doctors' shops , and had swallowed tho poison . Ho thcroforo went with her to her husband b lodging , at No . 9 , Gower ' e-walk , Whitcchapol , where ho found Lander lying on a miserable bed , in a close , email , damp room , quite insensible . Ho was unable to rouse him from Ids stupor , although fortunately he scorned to have dislodged oorno of tho narcotic by vomiting . lie took him in a cab to the London Hospital , and tho stomach-pump having been applied , and restoratives administered , ho was enabled to bring tho prisoner that afternoon to answer the charge of attempting self-destruction . Tho constable added that the prisoner , who was still in a very weakly condition , had admitted ho took tho poison , but enul diatresa drove him to do it , and that ho would do it again . Tho poor fellow was certainly in very great ; distress ; ana beside * his wiio , ho discovered seven half-naked young children in his room , without shoes or stockings on , nnu craving for food , which their parents wore unablo to providfl for lliom .
Lander paid ho had endured privations till Iifownsa burden to him . His children wcro crying for bread on Tuesday , and that drove him to madncHH . Ho had taken liia coat ; off nix weeks ago to buy coals and bread , nncl ii »« worn nothing ninco on bin back " , except tho remains ol « " old Rarmont which ho had picked up . Uo was quilo awtracted when ho took tho poison . It was dono m " iinpiiluo of tho moment . . ., Mr . Yardley said tho prisoner should havo five nn »" lings JVom tho poor-box , but ho gavo it him vory ( loin - ingly , fearing it , mi ^ ht induce others to attempt' hhido . st ' niclion to excito . sympathy . It would , how ever , now out a hope to tho wife . _ .. , „„) , Lander wan then discharged , and loft tho rohco-coum with Win wife .
