a word more , and it is obvious that the conditions proposed bv the masters have no reference to anythmcthat can properly be called their interest in the trade . jThe object of the conditions manifestly is to humble and degrade the men m the eyes of the world , and ( which is more important ) in their own estimation . If the masters will withdraw these conditjpns , every man will be ^ glad to . ascribe them to the dictates of anger , and to view their withdrawal as the result of calm reflection , and good feeling ; but if they obstinately-persevere when they have had ample titae for reflection , every one must come to the conclusion that their motives are of a description not very creditable to them .

CENTRAL CO-OPERATIVE AGENCY . Weekly Report , Feb . 24 > to March 1 . The Agency 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
re-3 pun ) , instead of the genuine material . ± he produce Working 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 a dvantageously 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 sides , 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 ,. jnoney , 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 .

WAR WITH BURMAH . The electric tolcgraph from Trieste , where the steamer from Alexandria arrived on Saturday last , brought the news to London of the commencement of a Burmese war . The misunderstanding , which has at last reached this climax , arose thus : —In the month of November , Captain Lewis , tho commander of a British movehantman , was subjected by tho Burmese governor of tho port of Rangoon to unprecedented exactions , and at last to barbarous ill-usage , in contemptuous violation of the treaty of Yandaboo , by which tho King of Ava undertook " to abolish all exactions oil British ships or
as reparation for the insult and injury to the merchant captains and to British honour . The Governor of Rangoon temporized , sent visits and letters f ceremony to the Commodore , while he was collecting troops and mounting guns . Qn the 4 th of January , a new Governor arrived at Rangoon from Ummerapoora , the capital of the empire , with the powers of Viceroy . ' He T > egari by refusing to receive any more 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 tb of January , the Viceroy wrote to the Commodore , that if he 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 the enemy . We must wait for the arrival of the mail for more detailed particulars .

" Another equally flagrant case was that of Captain Shcppard , commanding another ship / who was subjected to similar indignities . Complaints having been made to the Supremo Government at Calcutta by tboso gentlemen , and by more than a hundred British residents at Rangoon , tho Fox frigate , and tho Company ' s steamer Tenasseritn , which wore soon joined by two or tbreo other steamers , wero sent under command of Commodore Lambert , with Captain Latter of tho Bongal Army as interpreter , to demand on apology , and a sum of 1000 J .

- NATIONAL DEFENCES . A sum of 12 , 000 Z . is set down in the army estimates this year for a camp of exercise : last year , only lOOOZ . / were voted for this purpose . It is supposed that a large body of troops of all arms will be brigaded , and that Salisbury Plain will be the place of rendezvous . The Coasfc Guard , a picked body of efficient and experienced Beamen , are , up to this very day , armed with oldfashioned flint-lock muskets . Parties of officers and sergeants from the Guards , the Eifle Brigade , and many of the line regiments , have been sent to Woolwich for the purpose of practising wi th , and learning the management of , the Mime' 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 , tp the 31 st of March , 1853 , the charge to be provided is 19 , 3542 . lls . Id ., of which 3101 ? . 16 s . is for the service in London . The Dockyard men at Pembroke are now actively engaged in finishing the Windsor Castle . She is to be fitted with a screw propeller , will carry 140 guns , and will be by far the largest vessel in the British navy . Her twin Vessel with regard to the screw propeller will be the Eoyal 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 Pellatt , 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 inches of deal board . A report to the American Secretary of War from a Board of Ordnance officers , ordered to reporton 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 .
