THE WORKING TAILORS ' ASSOCIATION , 34 , CASTLE-STREET . OXFORD-STREET , Opposite the Pantheon . A few Journeymen Tailors , anxious to rescue themselves and their class from the miseries and degradation consequent on unlimited competition , and from the abuse of the powers of capital as lately exhibited to the public by the Morning Chronicle newspaper , in his letters on " Labour and the Poor , " have resolved to seek a remedy in their own exertions rather than in any parliamentary enactment , and in some system which shall combine their own interest with the interests of other classes of society rather than in that return to old customs now chiefly advocated in the trade , by which the benefit of the master and journeyman ( but especially of the former ) is sought to be realized at the expense of the consumer . They have , therefore , united together on the cooperative principle , posdessing- first-rate talents in the Cutting and Working department , and being supplied by several benevolent gentlemen , with sufficient capital ( which they are anxious to pay back on the first opportunity ) , they have commenced business on extensive premises in Castle-street , Oxford-street , to which and the accompanying list of prices attention is respectfully invited . It will be seen from the latter that they are at once able to compete with the slopseller , whilst realizing a fair profit themselves . They are mutually bound' to devote one-third of their net profits to the extension of their numbers . It now rests with the public to tstamp their experiment with success by favouring them with a liberal measure of custom , and thereby demonstrate , on an ever-widening scale , that health , prosperity , and motal worth can be secured to the operatives , and cheapness guaranteed to the consumer , by the faithful realization of the brotherly and Christian principle of cooperation . They wish not to injure the trade of any truly "honourable" employer , and venture to hope that all who feel that custom itself ought to have its morality , and who are willing to do what in them lies towards dealing fairly by the operative , will help them by their sympathy , and , as far as possible , by their orders . All who are friendly to this experiment , and wish it to succeed , should give it all the assistance in their power , ami recommend it to others .

, , , STONEGRAVELS , NEAR CHESTERFIELD . SCHOOL for YOUNG LADIES , conducted T > v the Reverend ALFRED TURNER BLYTHE and Mrs BLYTHE . Terms ( exclusive of Masters ) , Fifty Guineas per 1 Annum . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe ( with the help of Mrs . Blythe ' s [ sister , Miss Williams ) devote their whole time and attention to , the duties of their School . They do not wish to have under their care , at one time , more than ten pupils . They can provide for the thorough comfort of this number ; and can treat them , in every respect , as members of their own family . Their [ great object is to aid their pupils in becoming truly refined , in' telligent , and conscientious women . It is not , they think , of so I much importance to crowd into the mind , during the comparal tively short period of the school life , a large mass of information on a great variety of subjects , as to furnish the mind with those principles of thought and means of judgment which will enable their possessor , in after years , to acquire sound knowled ge for ! herself , and to dispense it to others . They think it most itn' portant of all to show the moral bearing and uses of knowledge , and to impress upon the mind the fact that its chief value consi-ts in its application to practical and benevolent purposes . The physical health of a girl between the ages of ten and seventeen "( which may be called the school time of life ) requires « the most anxious care . To overtask the brain during this period is almost to ensure future weakness , both of body and mind . Mr . and Mrs . Blythe pay , therefore , unremitting attention to the health of their pupils , and , besides securing to them daily active exercise , they r . ever . permit the work of the School to be carried on for more " than between two and three hours consecu-• tively ; adapting the amount of work to be done by each pupil during the day , to her age , her state of health , and her mental capacity . By pursuing thi * system , they have , in more than one case , seen a child of delicate constitution strengthen under their hands . With respect to religious instruction , Mr . and Mrs . Blythe wor . ld only say , that while they use their utmost endeavours to iosterin their pupils the religious feelings and affections , they think that they would not be justified in enforcing specific opinions , notwithstanding the strength Ot their own convictions on this subjecc . At the same time , they are willing- arid anxious to ¦ give explanations whenever they ure asked , and to aid in removing difficulties whenever they are felt . They believe , however , that a decision on theological matters ought to be left to an age when the powers of thought and judgment are fully matured . The ordinary course of study in the School embraces the subjects of History , ancient and modern ; the History of Literature ; Geography , mathematical , physical , political , and descriptive ; Writing , Grammar , and English Composition ; Arithmetic , and the elementary branches of Geometry ; and , with a special view to encourage the powers of observation , the elements of Natural History and Natural Philosophy . The Reverends Joseph llutton , LL . D ., London ; William Turner , Jun ., Halifax ; James Martineau , Liverpool ; Samuel Bache , Birmingham and Charles Wicksteed , Leeds ; Frederick Swanwick , Es ? q .. Whittington , near Chesterfield ; and Mrs . Turner , Lenton Field , near Nottingham , have kindly permitted reference to them .
