An important meeting of engineers . was ; held in the Free \ Tiade . Hall , Manchester , on Thursday . . Mr . JV " * Goninghain , of Brighton , . presided . The attendance was . Very 'great-7—spmewhere . between . , 6000 and 700 O people ; present > and the interest manifestedwas , great and hearty . ., Mr .. Coningham , ; Mr .- Norbury ,. Mr . Killer ,-. Mr . W . Newton , Mr . W , Hemm , MkS . Fielden , and Mx . " Cui # 3 , # the ' firm , of Parr , Madely an < I Curtisl addressed the meeting . The , characteristic of
the evening ; was the . appearance of Mr .: Curtis , who responded to an appeal to the employers by mounting the platform and speaking . He vvas at first niefc y $ h expressions of diseontent , but a manly appeal for fair play from the chairman , produced a , hearty response from the meeting . It is thought that this incident will be the first step to an arrangement between the employers and employed . The following resolutions were carried unanimously : — -
That the employers . of operative engineers having announced that they will not . allow their workmen to return to work , except uponsiguing ' a declaration binding the aiv tisans not to belong to any society calculated to better . their condition . T , his meeting declares that such , a request is opposed to the law which wisely allows all parties to combine , infringes upon personal liberty by taking away from the men freedom of action , and is unjust , bcaause it denies the right of the men to do that which the 6 mf ployers are doing : therefore this meeting pledges itself to
oppose a resumption of work upon those terras , and calls upon all-classes of the people to aid the men iu obtaining their tights ; and , That inasmuch as the employers conp tinue their workshops closed against workmen who refuse to resume employment on terms both unjust and disgraceful , this meeting is decidedly of opinion that the only means of successfully opposing such tyraimy , is the establishmentof ; co-operative workshops , in which the workmen may at once employ their owii capital and their own labour , for their own benefit and welfare , ' as well as for the accommodation of the public .
Mr . John Isaac Heard obtained , on Thursday , quiet possession of the seat ( Kinsale ) vacated by tlic retirement of Mr . Benjamin Howes . The proprietor of thp pundalk pemqerat has been arrested on a charge of exciting disaffection and hatred between landlords and tenants Fn'JJlster . He is to be tried at Louth assizes .

A MINISTER GF / THte LOWER EMPIEE . The follawing Jirief ; bu t ^ tirring Tbipgrai ^ y is in active circulation in ^ arisiaii spqietyv .

Betaking himself to Cohnar , he contrived to Worm himself into an honourable family in that place , and Was on the point of iriaking a capital patchy bu ^ t unluckily his character was unmasked too soon , and he was obliged to run for it ; a teat which he performed by jumping on a horse ^ his intended brother-in-law : After a few . miles ride , he sold the horse * and lived on tho proceeds till he reached Paris .
