Such is the history of these three fraternal Associations nestled down in one court , and living together in true brotherly love . What has been said of one in respect to their moral and social condition maybe said of all ; they are evidently composed of the elite of the working men in their several trades , and , being always ready to admit new members into their body as soon as they have employment for them , they bid fair to be the ruin of competition , and establish the working man in that proud condition of manly independence , social comfort , and steady progress , which is the just reward of the real producers of wealth .

The National Charter and Social Eefokm Union . —At the usual sitting of the Conference on Sunday last , at John-street , Mr . George Hooper was called to the chair . The business commenced with the reading of the amended report , the result of the previous sittings . On the motion being put from the chair that the report , be adopted , Mr . Wilson proposed to insert a preamble professedly limiting the Executive of the union to the use of legal and constitutional means . This was rejected , on the ground that no one had a right to suppose that the Executive would use other than legal and constitutional means . Mr . Harney then rose r . nd read a set of resolutionsstating the nature and objects
, of the Conference , adverting to the external opposition to the plan of fusion proceeding from Messrs O'Connor , O'Jirien , and Ernest Jones , and the neutral position of Mr . Reynolds , and concluding by a resolution that , as a consequence thereof , the Conference should then dissolve . Mr . Leblond asked whether such resolutions were in order . The chairman declared that they were , and invited the delegates to discuss them . Messrs . Leblond , Clements , Bate , Fussell , "Wilson and Sullwood successively spoke against the resolution . Mr . Pettie , in an animated speech ,
thou"h upon different grounds from Mr . Harney , declared himself in favour of their adoption . Mr . Shaw made a licutrnl speech , and Mr . Harney replied . A division was then taken on an amendment moved by Mr . Stallwood , at once confirming the amended report and rejecting the resolutions by 14 to G . A committee , consist" ! " of Messrs .

A deputation from the Court of Common Council waited upon Lord John Russell , yesterday , to present a vote of thanks to his lordship for his letter to the -Bishop of Durham . The deputation was most cordially received hy the Premier . He felt most grateful for the sentiments of confidence expressed , and remarked that it was at all times gratifying to him to receive the thanks of the Lord Mayor , the corporation , and the citizens of London : indeed , if it were not for such support from those who represented the people , it would be impossible to give full effect to the opinions of the Government .
A deputation of the parishioners of St . George , Hanover-square , presented an address to the Bishop of London yesterday on the subject of the recent Papal aggressions . The deputation proceeded to the bishop ' s residence in St . James ' s-square , in eleven private carriages . Having been received by his lordship in the library , Colonel Fitzroy , on behalf of the deputation , read the address , to which the bishop replied at great length . He did not agree with those who think that this pretension of Papal authority is utterly absurd . The Pope knew very well what he was about : —
"He knows that if this usurpation is quietly submitted to under the notion that it is of no consequence if he be once permitted to get in the sharp end of the wedge , he will by degrees , through his subtle emissaries who are scattered over this kingdom , and are working under ground to a degree one can hardly have any conception of , succeed , not ultimately in subverting the Church or injuring the constitution of the country , but in creating a great deal of dissension , disturbance , and disquiet , and in agitating people ' s minds , which may , perhaps , lead to popular commotion ; and I know of no kind of intestine division so injurious in its character and tendency as that grounded on religious dissension . "
But the people of England did not require the assistance of the Pope to settle their religious disputes . They had " that test of truth which the Church of England has always had recourse to—the pure word of God . " He then proceeded to show the deputation that they had other duties to perform besides that of memorializing their bishop . They must remember that the usurpation of the bishop of . Borne was not confined to spiritual matters : —
" In resisting the invasion of the Church of Rome you are resisting , not merely a spiritual power , but a Court which uses its spiritual power in online temporaha . Not one of those decrees or Papal bulls which have asserted her plenitude of authority over all temporal Sovereigns has ever been repealed or disowned , and I have nut a doubt that if you give her the least power or authority it will be all over with our glorious constitution . " With reference to the Puscyite movement , his lordship spoke as if he had always been strongly opposed to it : —
" Gentlemen , I shall say nothing as to one remark that has been made , namely , the countenance unhappily given by some members of our own Church to practices and opinions which savour of the Church of Home , further than to express my own deep regret , and to assure you that for some years past I have earnestly and anxiously protested against them , and endeavoured to to be know not
call back those who seem going they whither A crisis has arrived at which we all must take our stand . We must either continue to be Protestants , or we must , by degrees , succumb to the continued , secret , subtle aggressions of the Papacy . I can answer for my brethren as well as myself , that they will be faithful and earnest in their endeavours to preserve the pure light of the Gospel upon the Church ' s golden candlesticks unsullied , on the one hand , by the corruptions of Popery , or , on the other , by wild
fanaticism . A deputation from the parish of St . Anne , Limehouse , also presented an address of a similar character to the Bishop of London yesterday , to which his Lordship gave u suitable reply . At a meeting of the parishioners of St . Bride ' s , hold last evening , for the purpose of expressing their sentiments upon the recent attempt by a foreign sovereign , known ( is the Pope , to exercise power within tho realm of England , by parcelling out the land , and pretending to confer offensive titles , it was resolved to address her Majesty on tho subject .
Tho parishioners of St . Andrew ' s , Ilolborn , met last night , but the proceedings weicnotsounanimous . The projectors of the meeting came forward with a proposal to address the Bishop of London , which was received with "rent disapprobation and cries of ?• Turn him out . " The lleverend E . Pizey , the mover of the resolution , battled hard in favour of Charles James , and was seconded by Mr . Grosluun , solicitor , who
don , was then agreed to ; after which a vote of thanks to Lord John Russell for his letter was carried amidst enthusiastic cheering , followed by " three groans for the Pope and Cardinal . " S At Islington a large meeting was held in the National School-room last night . An address to the Queen , protesting against the recent Popish aggression , was carried unanimously , and the meeting concluded by singing ' * God save the Queen . "
Mr . Disraeli has addressed a letter to the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Buckingham , stating that he has received numerous appeals from his constituents requesting him to cooperate with them to call a county meeting to express their reprobation of the recent Papal assault on the royal prerogatives . He agrees that it would be proper to call a county meeting , but in doing so takes occasion to point out the glaring inconsistency between the way in which Ministers have honoured the Romish bishops of Ireland , and the tone now taken by Lord John Russell . If they are to meet and pass resolutions they will have something more to speak of than the conduct of the Pope .
said it wns evident that his lordship had begun to seo that he had gone too far in the direction of Puseyism , and was anxious now to take a , right course . In reply to this it was urged , amidst great npplauso , that it tho bishop had abjured Puseyism merely because lie found what the opinions of the Government were , ho wnsumleserving of their confidence . An amendment , that they should address the Archbishop of Canterbury instead of the Bishop of Lon-

Prince Albert left Windsor Castle , for town , at ten o ' clock yesterday morning , by a special train on the Great Western Railway , and after arriving in London inspected the building erecting in Hyde-park . He then proceeded to Buckingham Palace , and afterwards went to Paddington , travelling to Windsor by a special train , and returned to the Castle at two o ' clock in the
afternoon . The returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 10 th of October were issued yesterday . As compared with the corresponding month of last year , they show an encrease in the declared value of our exportations of £ 807 , 742 , and it appears that the improvement is distributed with remarkable uniformity throughout almost all departments of industry . The aggregate value of our exports during the first nine months of the present year , has been £ 50 , 2 S 6 , 402 , against £ 44 , S 09 , 414 in the like period of 1 S 49 , showing an encrease of £ 5 , 455 , 988 . Should they continue at the same rate for the next three months , the aggregate value of our exports for the whole of 1850 will be upwards of £ 66 , 000 , 000 .
A coal pit explosion took place at Haydock colliery in Lancashire , on Thursday morning , by which at least nine lives were lost . The Liverpool Mercury contains an account of a fearful explosion of naphtha , which was attended with fatal consequences in Seacombe , on the Cheshire shore of the Mersey , in a Roman Catholic school and readingroom . It appears that on Wednesday the schoolmaster , Mr . Johnson , and six of the scholars were together in the front room on the ground floor . The master was engaged in pouring some naphtha intu a lamp from a ' tin can , containing about half a gallon ; and
a lad named John Crossie , about ten years of age , was holding a candle by his side . Never having before filled the lamp , Mr . Johnson was ignorant of the quantity required ; and , before he was aware , the inflammable liquid ran over , and , coming in contact with the lighted cande , ignited . An instantaneous report , like that of a cannon , was heard , followed by a tremendous crash occasioned by the falling of the partition wall , about twolve feet long and nine feet high . In the readingroom , immediately above the scene of the explosion , were fourteen persons , several of whom were so seveiely injured that but little hope is entertained of their recovery .

Count BernstorfF , the Prussian Ambassador at the Court of Vienna , has suddenly gone to Berlin , some say to assist at a specific solution ; others state that he will not return . The latter opinion prevails , because a project for a secret interview between the Queen of Prussia and the Archduchess Sophia at Dresden has failed . Ministerial Councils are daily held at Berlin . The illness of which Count Brandenburg died on the 6 th instant , is said to have been the result of his mission to Warsaw , in which he was completely outwitted by the Austrian and Russian diplomatists . Delirious fever -was the malady which caused death . Count Brandenburg was the natural uncle of the present King of
" 1-J wiicci n " - The Capitnn Pacha ' s line-of-battle ship blew up in the arsenal at Constantinople on the 23 rd ultimo , and killed upwards of 1000 people -who were on board . She had only arrived from a cruise two days previous , and was landing her powder . , Cardinal Wiseman is still at Liege , and is likely to remain there for some days . Dr . Doyle , the Catholic rector of St George ' s , will proceed to Liege to-morrow or the following day to meet the new cardinal , and accompany him to London .
Tho exploits of Guy Fawkes in London have created a still greater sensation in Paris than they have in London . Some of the Paris papers look . upon " these public manifestations " as something that may lead to a revolution in England . The Dcbats reminds the English people that the cry of " Vive In- Reform" ended in the Revolution of 1848 , and hints that the exhibition in London of Cordinal Wiseman on the back of a donkey may lead to the pillaging of the Bank of England , and the burning down of Pimlico . , A hostile meeting took place on Thursday , in the wood of Meudon , between M . Charles Hugo and M . Charles Viennot , both writers in the Paris press . The seconds , in their account of the affair , state that after a sharp encounter , which lasted a minute and a half , M . Charles Hugo received a thrust in the knee , not such , however , as to occasion any disquietude to his friends .
