IBRAHIM PACHA . A few particulars concerning this remarkable perinage , now en a visit to this country / may , at the > resent moment , be considered interesting .

' e SI Facha is said to indicate the same feehnga of re-« rd almost of fear , for theenergetic character of his ierysoD . Oircnmslanees have endeared , and . tjossi-$ ly rendered them indispensable to eacatrt&er . When the task of snppressnigiiue Creek inswrection was
assigned to Mehemet Ah , and tteatt had deprived Sat prince of his eldest son , wlio reoteover was said to have been of a mild and gentledisjrasition unsuited to the purpose , noonessemed so fit to aid him as the ready and ruthless Ibrahim . He was accordingly at ¦ once despatched , wit& the Capiten Pacha , from Constantinople to the Morea with a powerful fleet : and , tkough inferior vb . Tears , he seen proved himself to be , * oth in stratageK and action , superior in the cabinet as well as in the fiel d . -Wten the two admirals met at MarmorieejtneCapitanPacha , who had previously been afraid to expose l £ mself alone to the Greek fleet in the Dardanelles , endeavoured to persuade Ibrahim to sail along with him , aad considerately proposed to allow Ma the honour « f leading in the who knew that the ether
van . Ibn&im , however , loved hia not , sagaciously inferred that wheretbere -was honour there must be danger "too ; and when on inquiry he found that it was his own vessels that might be first exposed to the dreaded encounter of the Grecian fireships , he took precautions which at once redounded to his own fame , aBd proved fatal to that of his opponent . He acquiesced , or seemed to aoqui-¦« sce ; but instead of sailing direct noon the enemy's fleet , lie weattered it , and proceeded in the first instance to Samos , and havieg taken this , he assailed the Greeks in rear , without encountering the slightest Tisk from their fireships at the opposite extremity , and dispersed and destroyed the whole , after one of the most decisive actions recorded in that long and
disastrous ¦ warfare . His subsequent course and career in the Morva was stained by massacre , devastation , and atrocities to which our pen refuses to give a name , if any one conld have restored the Morea to the Ottoman race , Or rednc d it to order at all , itwoald have been Ibrahhn . But fatcwilled it otherwise ^ and the allies interposed . Theissne of the straggle is well known —fee united British , French , and Ktssiaa fleets met in the Archipelago , and at Jfavarino crushed the Tarko-Egyptian&ost . Bat , though defeated on this oceasion , Ibrahim lost no reputation . The fleet brought asainst him was overwhelming , and «
omse&nded by officers against whom the followers of the Crescent have never been able to make head . Throughout tie action his conduct was most courageous . Daring the whole of it he remained conspicuously en tbe poop of Ms ship , issuing orders with Tromptitudetaudcalmness ; and , when all was over , he was found by the British officer who boarded him smoking Ms pipe with the same serenity . He had been defeated , but was not subdued ; and had not the Ottoman Porte wisely seea the expediency of discontinuing the struggle , doubtless he would have maintained it with the same imperturbable coolness ¦ while a iJhip or a sun remained .
Sjria was the next field of importance m Ibrahim ' s martial career ; and here he evinced , as a general , abilities still greater than those which had marked lis conduct as a naval commander . _ The two services are , in modern ( lays , deemed incompatible ; hut it was not sn in the older annals of English and Enropean warfare , and it is not so at present in the Turkish system of hostilities . The leading Pasha there is still expected to take the command of the Sultan's forces by sea or land , or both , as occasion may require , as did our old English commanders , Howard of Emngbam , the Earl of Essex , Raleigh , Drake . &e ., in the days of Elizabeth . But utility as ¦ well as custom seems in favour of the separation , and Ibrahim has undoubtedly shown greater abilities as
a general than as an admiral , lie has to be sure had inferior foes to contend with , or at least has not had to encounter the disciplined forces of the East . But all reports concur in representing his campaign to have been very able , and the troops over which he triumphed were amongst the fiercest of the Eastern population . France has long exhausted herstrength with inferior forces in Africa , and Russia has for many years attempted to put down a similar race of men in Circtssia ; but Ibrahim in two campaigns comiiletely accomplished his task . The battle " of Nezib was memorable for its importance as well as its sanguinary character ; and for many years secured Syria to Mehemet AH's sway , until the country was again torn from his grasp by the English , under Sir Charles Napier , at St . Jean d'Acre .
No other part of Ibrahim ' s career calls for notice here , Ilis and his father ' s magnanimous conduct in allowing free transit to our Indian mail and passengers -while we were dealing deadly blows at their power is well-known , and has already called forth tlie strongest expressions of esteem and respect . In so far as regards his personal appearance , this very remarkable individual is no less striking than past events hare entitled him to be considered . His 3 ge Is said not to exceed fifty , bnt there is a general air of lassitude and of wear and tear , which bespeak either a more advanced period of life , or else that he has used the gifts of nature somewhat freely : combined with grave affability which may be said to « har . ieterlse the manners of oriental potentates , there is an occasional severity in the cold , stern glance of his small grey eyes , that tells forcibly of the past , and which reminds the observer of the terrois attributed to the . aspect-of-the wan before him during the memorable campaign in the Morea of
1 S 26-7 . Solyman Pacha , who had accompanied Ibrahim Pacha , to England , is a -Frenchman who greatly distinguished himself in the field under the Imperial Dynasty . His name isSelve , and he held the rank of colonel under the Emperor Napoleon , lie went io Egypt in 1815 , and by his military talent and ligb conduct there attained the derated rank he now holds . PoKisMocTir , Jusk 6 . —This illustrious Egyptian ( the Pacha of Mecca ) arrived here yesterday morning
in the French yacht steamer Gomer , fr «» m Treport , and according to instructions from the Government , Us liighncss was received with every distinction becoming bis exalted rank . At half-past six the Gomer dropped her anchor at Spithead . and as soon . is the Egyptian standard , a large red flag with three silver crescents , could be made out to be flying at her main royal mast Lead , the garrison Immediately saluted it rath twenty-one guns ; the Cunopus also saluted the Egyptian flag , which the Gomer returned . Mr . I 5 rown . tlie Assistant-Master
Attendant , went on buard to pilot her into harbour , and soon after seven she weighed and steered in . As slie passed the platform the garrisou a >; ain saluted . The Victory , now birring the flag of the Commander-in-Ciiief , dressed in colours with manned yards , also Srsd a royal salute as the Gomer passed ; Ibraliim Paeha and Iris suite being on the quarter deck apparently taking much interest in tbe interesting scene . As simn as the Gomer was fast to the buoy in the larbour , tbe Commandcr-in-Cbicf , Admiral Sir Charks Ogle , went on baard in his state barge , and was graciously rtceived by Ibrahim , on the quarter deck . At half-past nine o ' clock ibraliim aud his suite , attended by Captain Guobion , of the G imer , and Captain Fasco , landed at the dockyard from the Gonier ' s barge . - Suxdax Etexmg .
On Saturday the Pacha was out by half-past nine , iis first visit being to the dock-yard , where the Admiral ( Sir C . Ogle ) was in attendance with his barge . Ibrahim and his suite , including Soliman Pasha ( Colonel Selves ) , Major Dickson . R . A ., and M . Zi ) hrab , visited in succession the "Victualling Yard , ihe Dock Yard , the Excellent , practice ship ( when the manual of ship-gun exercise was gone through to the great delight of the war-loving Oriental , ) and the Victory , three-decker . After this , the Prince went to the copper rolling mills , and the foundry , where he witnessed the operation of hammering an anchor into shape by the huge machinery invented by ^ Nasmyth . Thence Ms highness procedeed to the other parts of this public establishment , and if the accounts of an eye-witness may be credited , he apneared to comprehend the different wonders that he
beheld very sufficiently , for he made several highly pertinent remarks , which were translated into the vernacular for the benefit of the unlearned in the oriental tongue 3 . This species of entertainment , though meagre and unsatisfactory to the ordinary run of" si » ht-seers , must have had great attractions for a practical man , whose counsellors are mostly engineers and craftsmen , and who at this moment , is occupied with a gigantic scheme for clos-S » £ the mouths of the Nile , and for fertihzmg ajrain after ^ the lapse of a thousand years , those En sands where the cern fields of Egypt formerly offered their rich harvest . After the Pacha bad seen all the objects of curiosity which presented themselves in the dockyards , he repaired to Portsea Common , where about 1 * 00 infantry of the line , con-Bisting of the 74 th' Highlanders , the 3 rd Buffs , and

the 13 th Light Infantry , were drawn up » f " - order . Ilia Highness inspected the menvery nar rowly . andmade a remark or , * jo "JP eetnif Jgwr stature and accoutrements to Sir H ^? g " 2 Sd ham , commandant of the garnso " . which shewed how shrewdly ^ mv ^/ ^ ZidLthl WtS&'SSS- ^ SSi that the band St ^ aiffffWxsA ^ immedwu .., . _ . „_ . |/»|«?» ° afterwards 'bulged"the Prfnce with a " lilt noon the pibrochs ,, mn > li to his gratification . At « ven o ' clock the P ' acha and his suite of attendants Win three carriages from the George Hotel to tbe Admiral ' s official residence , where dinner was served to a numeroas . party , including Sir Hercules Pakenham and a . few of thelprincipal naval and military authorities . On Sunday morning , at about half-past t ^ Ibrahim and his suite were conducted bJ . M ^ jOr Dickson on hoard the Canopus lying at S ? , ithead . . , » - « ixL On Monday , before noon , Ibrahim Pacha , and the distingniaaed personages In hia retinue , arrived in Londonfrom Portsmouth . .
, Tha Earl of Aberdeen , Secretary of State for Foreign Affiurs . , came about half-paBt two o clock , and was contacted to the presence of the Pacha , with whotP , the noble Earl had a lengthened interview . Sir Robert Peel came on horseback about half : past four to inscribe his toame in the call book kept at the hotel . The Right Hon . Baronet was recognised by the crowd of persons assembled in the street , and was warmly tshfiered . _ , The Pacha , accompanied by Major Dicfejon and ¦ everal members of his suite , went out late on Monday evening for Ja carriage drive , Oa leaving Mivart ' s , the carriage took the direction of Regentstreet , and went fty Waterloo-place , along Whitehall , to as far as Westminster Abbeyand then returned
, by Regent-street to the Regent ' s-park . The Pacha there got « ut of his carnage and walked some distance in tbe enjoyment of a cigar . Ob Tuesday morning the Pacha , in company with the Duke of Wellington , Prince Albert , and others , inspected several bodies of troops on the open space in the park facing the Horse Guards , anciently known as the tiltyard . Tlie troops assembled for inspection awWefllfom their respective barracks and took nptheirpositions punctually at half-nast nine o'clock . They-consisted of a squadron of the 1 st Kesiraent of Life "Guards , and twelve companies of the Foot Guards , four from each of the regiments of Grenadier , 'Goldstream , and Scotch Fusilier Guards . An extraordinary number of . the aristocracy were
present , and the assemblage of spectators extended on each side of the mall from the palace to the place of inspection . Ibrahim Pacha was the great object Of attraction . His Highness wore the superb military costume of his country , a gorgeous uniform of deep scarlet velvet , sumptuously embroidered in go'd , with a cap of scarlet velvet . The left side of bis breast was covered by several decorations , and he wore the riband and decoration of the Legion of Honour , recently presented to him by Louis-Philippe , in Paris , together with the diamond-enriched scimetar . The other parts of his equipments were equally splendid . The troops went through their usual evolutions . It transpired , from a gentleman holding a high
position in the army , that Ibrahim Pacha expressed his admiration of the infantry corps to the Duke of Wellington and Prince Albert , his Highness concluding bis observations by saying that they were the finest troops he had ever seen , as a body , and . thf best eanipped . His Highness seemed to participate in the spirit of the inspection , for he watched the movements of the troops with a keen eye , as might be expected from such a redoubtable commander . The Facha on retiring from the parade was cordially cheered by the populace . We understand that the Pacha and suite intend to leave for a tour in the provinces and Highlands of Scotland , towards the close of the ensuing vreek , unless any unforeseen circumstances should arise to alter the contemplated movements .
The Pasha visited several of the principal objects of interest in tbe course of Wednesday . The carriages were ordered at twelve o ' clock , and his Highness , accompanied bv his suite as usual , was driven by the route of Oxford-street , Holborn , Cheapside , &c ., totheLimehouse entrance of the Thames Tunnel , which he descended into , and inspected from end to end , traversing each of the causeways , and putting , as is bis wont , innumerable questions to the gentleman who , at a moment ' s notice , undertook to represent the chairman and directors of the Tunnel Company . Some sort of apology for the absence of these functionaries was offered to his Highness through the medium of Major Dickson , upon which the Prince very readily said , that it was perhaps
lucky no trouble had been given by his visit , as he preferred taking an unerowded walk to being stifled by curious spectators in so narrow a spot . From the Tunnel Ibrahim drove to the Tower , where , likewise his presence was unexpected . After a short delay the Prince was conducted into the jewel-house where the Regalia of England are kept . The sight of so rich a collection of jewellery excited the lively attention of Ibrahim , who , more « uo , assailed tlie elderly lady in charge of the crown diamonds with go many questions , that she was at length obliged to resisn her functions , and to suffer some one else to
be the cicerone on the occasion . Ibrahim grasped with both bands the rails which enclose the glass ea ? e containing ta& Royal insignia , and , leaning leisurely against them , eyed the glorious ruby in the crown of state with an admiring gaze , talking volubly all the while to Nubar Effendi , his secretary . From the jewel-house he proceeded to the horse armoury , and thence to the vaulted ehamber in the White Tower , in which the Anne Bolejn block and hatchet , together with the Spanish instruments of torture , are kept . The Prince and his immediate attendants regarded these relics of past barbarities uiith an indifferent air .
The Mint was the next place of resort forthe illastriou s visitor , and the Prince went first into the metal rolling-house , where the operation of preparing the strips of copper for cutting blankswas goingon , Ibrahim stood bythe ponderous rollers watching them forsome time with great interest . He irentleisurely through the whole establishment , making enquiries and putting searching questions . After having successively seen the operations of cutting blanks , of atrikini the dies , and of sorting the coppers , ( for it was a copper coinirg day , ) with the result of an experiment on the accuracy of the moneying department , he was shown a certain weight of coin taken freshly out of the receivers in the stamping-house , and being told that there was an exact number of pieces of money in the heap , he took the trouble to verify the monye *' OBSfii'tion by tolling ovor tho oaeh , when he found that Sir Jasper had rightly informed him .
It was nearly four when the cariages conveyed Ibrahim from the Mini to the bank of England , where , it being likewise a premeditated visit , the governor and his deputy were in readiness to receive their illustrious visitor . The Prince was conducted at once to Mr . Heath's reception room , where a collation of fruit , ices , and confectionary was prepared , after partaking of which , the tour of the vast establishment was commenced by the Pasha being conducted to the vaults , wherein their are stored some ten or twelve millions ( perhaps more ) of gold ; thence Ibrahim was ushered through the issue offices , the rotunda , the national debt department , the " private account shop , " &e . The fatigue of the continuous examination of these various objects , at length induced the Pasba to order his carriage , and at half-past five he returned to Mivart's wherehe remained during the remainder of the afternoon .
• It is s e ated that the Chairman and Directors of the East India Company intend to invite the Pasha to a grand entertainment , pr ior to his quitting this country for Egypt .

THE MARRYING SCOUNDREt ; . EXTEAOBDItfARY DISCIOStJRES . At tne Guildhall Policfroftlcei oh Saturday , Joseph Mortimer , who assL tmed * ° fc § B American merchant , and obtained nearly Si" ? .- from Jiliza fcoycr , under the pretence that he intended to marry fter , wW brought up for further g&aminfltios , aim Bgam remaiKtea . RespeeUns WO ** lowing romance is abridged u ? *' L ' iierpool Joumal . In June , 1834 , just as the Woodside boat was about to leave the Cheshire slip , a well-dressed female hastily approached , and was assisted on board by a well-dreBsed man , who afterwards entered into conversation with her . The lady having stated that she bad lived in Panama three years , as housekeeper to a rich merchant tbe stranger spoke to her in Spanish , and she
, replied in the same language . In the ten minutes occupied In crossing the rivsr they had become acquainted , and onlandiag , he wished to . esaort her home . This she declined , but he persisted in accompanying her a part of the way . "I am , "he said , " anxious thatyeu should think wel of in * . My name is Bainbridge . I &m the captain of 4 vessel now lying at Havre , belonging to Messrs . Cropper , Benson , and Co ., and I am here for a few days on business of my own . I am a widower , have two daug hters—both very young ; and I would willtiftly provide a mothei to look after them . It may seem strange that I have taken a liking to youj I am sincere ; yon are juSt the kind of person I could wish to place over my children—not too young for such a charge , noitao » ld fi * companionship . " The lady smiled , blushed , and told him her name was Carson , that she was keeping
house for Mr . Broad , in Sbaw-street , but as he was about to matry a beauteous and accomplished lady , she would soon be out of place . That did Hot , however , give her much concern ; she bad respectable friends , and had some money . Captain BaiRbridge was at once deeply in love , and so earnest were Mb entreaties , that she consented to meet him next night in Lord . street . Both were punctual . She took his arm , and during their walk the captain again alluded to his daughters , and being a man Of business , " popped the question" at once . She referred him to her brother , an esteemed gentleman who then filled a high office in tho customs . The brother was pleased with the frank manner of the captain , but . being a prudent man , he went to Cropper , Benson , and Co . "Dia they know Captain Bainbridge f "—" Very well : he sailed in one of their ships , and had then * entire
confidence . " This was enough . The brother held a feast that night . All friends were invieed to meet the captain , and were delig hted with him . He was full of fun and anecdote , and was moreover a religious man , Before going to supper he proposed family prayers , and his extempore devotion was so ardent and touching that he
drew tears . After the departure of the guests , a family council was held , and the unanimous conclusion was , that tbe weddinfr sbould take place next day , which it did , add the happy pair started for London , the lady having given a quantity of plate , doubloons , and about £ 400 to herhuBband to " take care of . " On their way to the S wan . with . two-Necks , 8 he told him that she had arranged to dine with her relatives on Sunday . " I am sorry for it , " said the captain , " Sunday is devoted by me to my wife and my God ; I can't go . " On arriving a t the hotel , lie found a letter , urging his instant departure for Havre . They arranged to start for Southampton in the morning . Tbe morning came , and the captain was up early removing the luggage to the coach-office . " Maria" was dressed for tbe journey , but
the captain did not appear . A waiter entered , , with a message , that the gentleman had run to the bank , and could not go that day ; he would be back io dinner tti one . One came , but no captain . Four o ' clock arrived , hut no captain . Night passed , and tbe lady grew inquisitive ; she had discovered that the captain had opened the trunks ] Here was a discovery . The plate was gone , the doubloons cone , the £ 400 gone , and the captain gone . ' The shock prostrated her mind ; she grew gloomy , dejected , and died in a local asylum a few years afterwards . Last autumn one of her bridesmaids met her betrayer in Bjrom . street . He recognised her , and darted up Hunter-street , disappearing before she could give the alarm . On inquiry , it turned out that the real Captain Bainbridge had been at Havre at the time spucified , but had not been in Liverpool .
In 1842 , a Yankee-looking person put up at the Bearinn , Dale-street , and , in conversation with the landlady , mentioned that he was a planter in America , was a widower , and had two daughters , for whom he wanted a governess—a staid , elderly female . The landlady knew just such a person , Kiss Xorejoy , who supported herself in credit and respectability by keeping a "ladies ' school . " She had just commenced her daily toil when Sir . Mortimer was announced . He came , he said , from the White Bear Inn , and explained tbe purport of his visit . She was flattered by the proposal , but declined it . In 1813 , he renewed his proposal , was excepted , and tltey spent [ , C , ,
the honeymoon in a house in Belle Tue , woodsiae , Whilst here Mrs . Mortimer sold all her furniture , and proceeded to New York with her husband . They sailed in the Roscius , Captain Cobb , and when out a few days the lady grew ill , very ill , but her husband would permit no one to see her but himself , and his language was harsh and brutal . When seventeen days outslie died , and was oast overboard . Mortimer affected great grief ; and he gave a proof of it by seizing a lapdop belonging to the deceased and pitching it into the ocean . On arrival at New York , he transferred himself to a ship about to sail for Liverpsol , where he was recognised , as already stated , by Mrs . Carson's bridesmaid , as Captain Bainbridge ,
The fact being made public , it was discovered that Mr Mortimer was a blackguard from Armagh , who lived by hawking braces in New York and the other cities ofthe union . Is not truth stranger than fiction % At Guildhall , on Saturday Mr . Alderman Musgrove read a letter , which he had received from Mr . Hart , of 31 , Lord-street , Liverpool , from which it appeared that the prisoner got acquainted with a young lady who kept a respeetable seminary for young ladies ; and he told the game story of being iv great man at New York , and expecting a remittance in flour . He induced her to become his wife . They were married by license , which Mr . Hart saw , and he sold them the wedding ring . The consequence was , she broke up her establishment and went with him to America . Believing the prisoner to bo a very dangerous fellow , Wr , Hart thought it bis duty to state the matters within his knowledge . The alderma * also read another letter he had received from Mr . Daw . son , asolictor , in Bloomsbury-streeot , Bedford-square . It stated that Mortimer became acquainted with a Mrs .
Langhorne , in June , 1839 , and proposed to marry her . agreeing that she should settle hei > property ( £ 1 , 200 ) upon her two children by a former marriage . With tbis concurrence the deed of settlement was engrossed , but at the last moment he refused to sign it , and ultimately lie max : Tied th" !»< V . »«> J sot hold of liar property . It was sub . Eequently discovered that he had a wife living in Ireland , and one or two in America , and a clerk of Mr . Dawson followed the prisoner to Liverpool , and made him give up some merchandise purchased with Mrs . Langhornc ' s money . Notwithstanding the exposure , the poor woman accompanied him to New York . There he treated her in the most cruel manner , even heating her , and iinallv deserting her . The writer concluded , " the prisoner will well remember my name , and also the name of my client ' s mother , Mrs . Col . Hind . " Mrs . Brown , of Westmorelandplace , City-road , has also sent a letter stating that in answer to an advertisement for a housekeeper ' s place she received a call from the prisoner , and she also received a proposal of marriage .

If aothing else had been gained , it were worth the whole trouble which the bnng-• - forward ofthe question has g iven to those concerned rfL wSdid the speech of M , Macaulay . — Ib a spBechflbich Will spread 6 « we vUnVje , jon m the subject . It dealt at onr . o ^« ii t he gffeat'ferintaples of tb-a question—whether governmettVs had a right to interfere in tho restriction of the amount of labour ; to intevfere between the emptojrfer and the employed , and if s , o , on whatgrouwtaV hndit declared—as it appears to .
according \< i ihe best of all philosophies , [ common , seasethidt if has a right , and is called onto interfere , where the health and happiness of the subject clearly demand it . The right honourable gentleman showed tfuat tnis interference had long been recognised and e . cted upon , and that clearly to the public advantage . He said we had interfered to protect hares and partridges , and that surely we might extend that interference to human beings . He migh t have added tbat we had interfered to prevent dogs from overwork , and had , by Act of Parliament , abolished entirely their drawing in carts ; nay , by the Act against cruelty to animals , we have interferred to protect all sorts of brute creatures from abuse ; surelj , then , that must be a singular argument which would seek to establish a bar to such protection for our fellow-creatures .
But he showed that we had interfered repeatedly , and in factories too . We had , thirty years ago , reduced the hours in factories from . fifteen . to twelve . We had again interfered to reduce the hours of youths under eighteen , and females . They were not allowed to work in the night ; and children between the ages of eight and thirteen were restricted to sis and a half hours per day . Had these regulations produced injurious effects to trade ! Nobody pretended that they had . There the right and the benefit , too , were established , He might , also , have instanced the restrictions aud prohibitions respecting females and children working in mines . He reminded the House that by their Buildings' Act , and Health of Towns'Act , they interfered essentially for the public health . People were not allowed to build houses without
certain conveniences , nor streets less than of a certain width . If people would not whitewash their houses , Government would do it for them . The case and the necessity of interference were most logically established . The right honourable gentleman put the question again on its right basis , by the doctrine that the health and happiness of the people must be made paramount to all other questions ; that of interest , our mere trading interest must be secondary . This doctrine was well maintained . We have no right to allow men , for their private profit , to overwork their fellow-creatures , merely because they are not their property , when they would Hot overr work their horses or asses , because they are their own property . Mr . Macaulay , however , observed that the doctrine Jfa loss to the manufacturers , by the reduction of undue hours of labour was a fallacy . He showed that two hours a-day , or one whole day in every seven , had been taken from ' all labour throughout the Christian world for these eighteen hundred years , or , in other
words , a period of fifty years had been taken from labour during that time , amd was tbe world any pooVev fov it 1 On the contrary , he believed it was richer ; inasmuch as unceasing labour exhausts the finely constructed human frame , which he happily termed the machine of machines . That was the case as it regarded days' works . If it was not a fact that as much work could be done in ten hours as in twelve hours of any given day , it was true as applied to a series of days . And this is the fact , as it regards the manufacturing districts . The system of forced labour and close confinement is deteriorating the race , and shortening human life ; and there is a frightful idea started when we reflect on Mr , Macaulay ' s assertion , that though a man might do more work in twelve hours of one day than in ten , he could not do the same through a course often years ; and that when one ten is put to the end of another , and this operating from one generation to another , the consequences become fearful to contemplate . .
We feel satisfied that the triumph of humanity on this question is not far off . The alarm of reduced profit ! and unequal power of competition with other countries , we believe to be utterly groundless . On the one hand , unlimited working of factories only leads to a keener competition amongst manufacturers , to the production of far more manufactured produce , and thereby to reduced prices , bringing : with them reduced price of labour . On the other , men' —and still more , women and childrenworking fewer hours , will avoid exhaustion , debility , and disease ; while by checking over-production at one period , it tends to spread it more regularly over others ; and thus manufacturers , as men of foresight , will be induced to work more at slack times , a circumstance particularly favourable to the working class .

OUT-DOOR RELIEF IN IRELAND . M £ bh » o at Babnslbt . —A public meeting of Irishmen resident at Barnsley was held in Mr . Acklam ' s large room , on Thursday , June 4 , to petition parliament in favour of a permament system of out . door relief for Ireland . Mr . Michael Deane was called to the chair , and opened the business ofthe meeting . After which Mr . Poulet Scrope ' s fifth letter to Lord John Russell on the subject was read by Mr . Swanny . Mr . MicuaeIi Skqkave proposed the first resolution—That this meeting is of opinion that the British legislature have of late years enacted laws calculated to elerate the middle classes of Ireland in tha scale of sn .
ciety , whilst at the same time they have totally neglected the wants and sufferings of the starving people ; that this meeting therefore agree to petition parliament in favour of a permament system of out-door relief for the Irish peoplei ¦ .-... .. lie said that as the millowners and manufacturers of this country were combining together for the purpose of crushing labour , as the aristocracy were endeavoring to maintain their falling privileges , as the monarclm of Europe are leaguing themselves together in order to stay the march of republicanism , and last though not least , as Daniel O'Connell and his tail of place- ' hunters were endeavouring to starve the workingpeople of Ireland out of existence , by declaiming against the very measure that would relieve them , it was high time that the working classes should look after their own interests . Mr . Wilkinson seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously carried .
Mr . Uriah Smart proposed the adoption of the petition . Mr , John Lbauy rose to second the adoption of the petition . lie spoke at great length , and depicted the wrongs of his country in an eloquent manner , proving to the meeting that the mock patriots of Conciliation Hall were the greatest enemies of his unfortunate countrymen . The f peaker , in a thrilling and effective manner , drew a picture of the maimed , the decriped , the aged and infirm , sitting at the chapel doors begging with all the energy of their souls from the passers by to give them a small mite in owlet * to relieve their miserable condition , yet Mr . O'Connell , calling himself a Chvistain and a
philanthropist , comes over to the Saxon Ilouse of Commons , as he terms it , raised his voice and proclaims that those spectacles of human misery and wretchedness have no right to a living in the land of their birth , whilst lie has aggrandized himself and family at the cxpence of his much betrayed and impoverished countrymen . The speaker made a heartstirring appeal in behalf of his starving but yet noble-minded countrymen , and sat down amid the plaudits of the meeting . - The petition was put from the Chair , and carried by acclamation . ¦ A vote of tlianks was proposed by Richai ? d Mackev , and seconded by Andrew Co ^ le , to P . Scropc . Esq ., M . P ., for his advocacy of a system of out-door relief ' for the people of Ireland .
Another resolution was unanimously agreed to , that a report of the meeting bo sent to the people's only advocate , the Northern Star , for insertion , hoping that other towns wiJl follow the example . A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman , and the meeting separated , each denouncing in the Strongest terms the great juggler of Conciliation Hall .

Stipendiary Magistrate of this town . I have before me s written copy of the resolutions agreed to on . that , ocetu sion , which I received from Mr . Rushtpn'fl own hand , and finding the statements of your correspondent are not eor . reot , I beg , on tbe workmen ' s behalf , ' the favour of a little space in your columns , to lay before your readers a brief but true statement of the case . ! « On the 30 th of March the master builders turned nearly 3000 workmen out of employment , for ref- ^ sign a document pledging themselves ; , &n C ( jnkr nectionwUh their various Trade SoofotfoB , The
number of those workmen who > igned that do ^ Ume nt 1 MB not prepared to say , but none ofthe ma ' 3 On 8 ( jid 60 , and after a lapse of eight weeks' cessation f nm Rbour / pu ^ i | c opinion , urged on ^ by a portion of .

Mr . Rushton , w 5 d " tEi £ - «**• public iatemta > took U ? SfdSr ^« ttosk , and requested an interview - - - ateltan of workmen , who met him athisowa
• esidenee-atniBe ^ olock in the morning the 27 th ' ult » The deprjtatronijeing admitted , Mr . Rushton entered into the subject , ' * nd from questions put did elicit answers from tiie joiners , bricklayers , plasterer ! , and plumberJ » that" the declaration they were required to sign was tha only * obstacle which prevented them resuming their employment ; but on the part of the masons , I distinctly stated ' that there had been a proposition sub . mitted to the master masons for a reduction in the hours of labour , and / was not prepared to saj that the masons would resume work on the withdrawal ofthe declaration , but thathawng been the cause of the dispute , I had no doubt if it was withdrawn , the masters and the mea
would soon settle the other matters amongst themselves . ' At the meeting in the magistrates' room the same day , four resolutions , submitted by the employers , were rent by Mr . Kushton , the second of which was to add aa additional hour per week to the present i ™"* *^ and referring to this resolution your correspondent says , To this the masons strongly objected , and after a lon | discussion it was agreed that the hours of labour should remain as heretofore . ' The written statement I received from Mr . Rushton says : — ' After > protracted d . seussion , which elicited much difference of opinion , the master ! agreed to withdraw the second proposal as to the hours of labour , leaving that matter for adjustment between the masters of the several trade * and the men . '
Upon . this condition the masons considered that they were quite at liberty to make any propesUlon to their em . ployers in reference to the hours , of labour , or rate ox remuneration they might deem advisable , without , in any way , violating the resolutions come to , and accordingly they waited upon Mr . Tomkinson , to propose to him , 'that in consequence of the great sacrifice the emplojers had caused the men to make without any just reason ; they would expect one shilling per , week advance on taeir wages , making 27 s . per week , and be allowed half an hour each day at four o ' clock to take refreshment ( not ' for recreatioH'as stated by your correspondent . ) This was the extent of the proposition , and In the presence of Mr . Rushton the same day , with Mr . Tomkinson , the request was lowered to half an hour at four o ' clock for refreshment , ( which is allowed all over Lancashire , exceptLiverpool ) and the question of wages was set aside ; . therefore the statement of your correspondent in that respect is also untrue , to which Mr . Rushton can bear
testimony-I will now leave you to judge whether any agreement has been violated by the masons , and whether , after nine weeks' privation and loss , force * m them by thtir « niployers , they are notentitled to some compensation . Th « insertion of this letter will confer a great favour on the workmen , and oblige .: "Your humble servant , " 39 , Shaw ' s-brow , Liverpool , " Thomas Cabteb . "June 3 rd , 1846 . " Since writing tbe foregoing , I see that the Editor of the Dtipateh is "fiddling on the same string" as the Time * correspondent . He says the . workmen " sought the mediation of Mr . Rushton . " Why , sir , I have before
me , at this moment , in the worthy magistrate ' s own writing , a liBt of the names of ten individuals that he retpiesltcl to watt upon Mm , which I received through the worthy proprietor and editor of the IiiuerpOOl Jourliol , therefore not one of the deputation were elected by the body they are set forth to have represented . Nevertheless , all , except the masons , were prepared to enter into a final arrangement ; and the masons not being thus prepared , insisted upon keeping the question of time and wages open for future arrangement . How far they succeeded in doing this I will leave you to judge from the following conversation , which passed between one of the masons and Mr . Rusbton , in the pressnee of the employers , which I extract from one of their own organs , the Liverpool Mercurg .
Mr . Steadman , one of the working men / asked , was he to understand that he was to go back to work upoa the same terms as those existing befoie he left employment ? Mr . Rushton said , according to the condition ofthe ar . rangoment , if a man chose , upon leaving that room , to go to Mr . Tomkin 8 on , or any other employer , and could make a bargain with him for work , he was at perfect liberty to do so upen whatever terms be thought proper . Jfr . Steadman . —Suppose we were to go and say tbat ne had been out of work for a leiigth of time , and wish to have compensation in the shape of an advance of wages f ¦ ' Mr . Itushton said , what they ( the huildiog trades ) , aft working men , had wanted , was the withdrawal of a certain document which had bsen an obstruction to their
continuing at work ; and upon certain preliminaries being settled , which had been placed upon paper , the masters had agreed to that withdrawal , and thus the cause of the men going out was removed , and the terms upon which they were to resume work was a matter tobe settled between themselves and the masters ; but the presumption was , that the terms heretofore - existing would be considered as satisfactory , and if the men chose to ask for greater remuneration for their labour they could do so . Mr . Ruahtoa remarked that the present dispute would have the effect of showing that there was but one common interest between the industrious or working classes and their employers , and tbat it would be better for all parties concerned that disputes which * might arise between them should be settled bj amicablearrangement . After the foregoing , I am sure it does not require one word more from me to show that the masons have via .
luted no agreement , it being proved by their own report * that there was no agreement aa to time or wages made . There is just one point more I have to notice before I conclude . It is stated , by some of the papers , that the delegates "pledged theraselvesftiot to join the National Association of Trades . " I most emphatically deny thi 3 . No such pledge was taken by any one ; they only having stated that they ( hen had no connexion with-the Nationat Association , What their future connexion would bs was never stated . This I also prove from the itercwy ' s report , which states ;—"The workmen present having declared that the trades whom they respectively represented did not belong to the National Trades' Union , the masters , on this distinct understanding , withdrew the first proposition . Peter-Young , for the labourers , having at the same time stated , that the society he represented did belong to the Nationat Trades'Union . "
As I have already taken up too much of your space , $ will now leave the matter with you and your readers ; , and conclude with a hope that the proceedings of the master builders , during the last ten weeks , will have th § effect of arousing the working classes to a seme ot their duty , and adding thousands to the ranks of those already in union , and beg to subscribe myself , Yours , in freedom's cause , ¦ . TiioMis Cartes , P . S . —The masons are still out , and are determined , either to have a reduction in their hours of labour , or acorresponding advance of . wages . This information will be sufficient for the traile . When the matter is settled ,, due noiico will be officially given in the Xorthern Star andthe Liverpool Journal ; no other reports must , therefore-,, must be depended upon .
