GREAT TURN-OUT AT ASHTON . In consequence of a reduction ot 10 per cent , pror posed bj the master manufacturers of Moailey , the spinners , on Friday evening ( that being the time of the expiration of the notice , ) when they all , excepting a portion of those employed by Mr John Buckley agreed toresistthe reduction andleave their employment . On Monday moraing a meeting took place at Ashton , on a piece of gronnd near to MrThackw ' s fonndry , wnidi was addressed by Richard Pil . bng . In the evening , theworWng menagata assembled in the Charlestown meeting room , which was
completely crammed , and hundreds failed to obtain admission . R . Pilling was called to the chair , and addressed 4 he meeting in opposition to the proposed reduction , but strongly urging peace and order . Subsequently Messrs Simpson , Leigh , Arrowsmith , Brindle , and Milhgan delivered speeches , and the following resolutions were adopted :-That thU meeting b determined to assist to its utmost the spinner * of Mbisley , in their resistance to the redaction now offered them of ten per cent ., bellevtaf that the redactions an injurious both to the employers and tha employed .
That this meeting , cognizant of the state of trade being in . Each aa vafavourable position as to preclude the possibility of any improvement for some time , unless some stepsba adopteito lessen the « ontumptionof cotton , this meeting is , therefore , determined to adopt the suggestion of the open tire spinners' delegate meet , iog , held on the 39 th of August last , which is , to cease labour in factories for a time ; believing , as to do , that nothing can so effectually relieve the manufacturers , and retain the operatives their present list of prices . Several mills ceased working In the course cf Tuesday . Up to Wednesday , thirteen mills had stopped at Mossley , fire at Ashton , and two at Dukinfield .
Several enormous failures have occurred this week at Maneh&terand Liverpool , amounting together to not less than £ 100 , 000 . Comprising the return of labour in the mills , factories , &o ., of Manchester , with that for the previous week , it appears there are no lesi than eight mills fewer working full time , whilst the ' number of those only partially working or stopped altogether , has been increased in the same proportion . Upwards of 12 , 000 hands , who were previously folly occupied , have therebj been compelled to submit to short employment , or to be alto gether without it . . .

NEW SANATORY COMMISSION . The Gasette last week announced the appointtnent of Lord R . Grosvbsor , Mr E . Chadwick , Dr S . Smith , Professor Owen , and Mr Lambert Jones , as Commissioners , to enquire into the best means of promoting the Sanatory Improvement of the Metropolis . Lord Robert may be taken in his capacity of member for the metropolitan eeunty , to represent " vested interests" outside "the ( % , " while Mr Lambert Jones will be the champion of the Corpr atioh . Two Conservatives to three
Reformers , is not , however , to be quarrelled with , and that the other . three members of the Commission , are Radical Reformers in this matter , there is no doubt . All of them are well known , for the care and labour they have bestowed on the investigation of Sanatory evils ; and , in fact , there are no higher authorities on the question than Dr Sobthwood SmTH « -who may be almost said to be thefather of the Sanatory agitation—and Mr Chadwick , w 1 io has collected and arranged facts on the subject of the most valuable and conclusive character . The appointment of a Commission , thus constituted , may therefore fairly be taken as an index , that the Govern .
ment is in earnest m the matter , and that next Session one may expect a renewed attempt to grapple with those gi gantic nuisances , which annually commit greater slaughter than was committed at Waterloo . But good intentions are not sufficient . Their lamentable failure . last year , after the eloquent and powerful exposure of the disease , death , pauperism , and crime , which are directly . attributable to
defective Sanatory arrangements , which Lord Morp eth made , on introducing his Bill , proves that something beyond the mere desire to abolish long ' standing and admitted evils , is required on the . part of Statesmen . They must know how- to go " about their wore ma practical and workmanlike manner . The extent and nature of the evil to be removed , mnst not only be accurately ascertained , but the best and most efficacious means of doing so .
The Bill of last Session was so faulty , that , however pressing and extensive the mischief it proposed to deal with , most people were glad that it was withdrawn . It was not in reality defeated by the small efforts of such opponents as Col . Sibthorpe and Messrs . Nkwdbgate and Spoonkr , so much as by its own inherent weakness , arising from errors in principle , blunders in detail , and defects in construction .
It is absolutely indispensable to the establis hment of any efficient Saltatory system , that all conflicting Boards , having concurrent jurisdiction , should be abolished , and replaced by simple and harmoniously constructed administrative machinery . But the attainment of this object , which was an important par t of Lord Mokhbth ' s first Bill , does not necessarily involve , as it was made to | do by that Bill , the establishment of a huge system of centralisation ,
and an enormous augment ation of Government patronage . The whole tendency of modern Legislations , in similar matters , has been objectionable on this ground , and it is to be feared , that the party now in power are so deeply infected by the mania fdr concentrating power , that without accusing them of any deliberate project for increasing their patronage thereby , they will instinctively lean to a measure having that tendency .
The slightest consideration of the history and progress , not only of this island , but of every settlement peopled by the Anglo-Saxon race , is sufficient to show that such a course is opposed to the nature and habits of that race . Local self-government is with us an indigenous product . It has its roots in the very constitution of the people themselves ; and it has lieen the source , in all ages , of that spirit of independence and enterprise , self-reliance > nd selfhelpfulness , which has made Britain what it is , and covered a large portion of the globe with a race , speaking the English tongue , animated by the tra . ditiorial spirit , and following the usages of their an .
cestora . All institutions derive their vitality from their adaptation to the wants and feelings of the people . When they are thus adopted , they become part of the living machinery by which the business of society is carried on . In the contrary case , they are obstructions which generate dissatisfaction and a constant effort to throw off the inert mass , which
presses like a dead-weight on the population . Keeping this principle in view , a praetical Government would take care that there should be that ideutity between the institutions and the people which is essential to the permanence and utility of the former . If the measures which are to be proposed for the promotion and maintenance of the public health do not possess this essential requisite , they will be a dead failure .
The principle of local self-government is , however , by no means incompatible with an efficient central supervision . On the contrary , the one is i ndispensable , in operations of such magnitude ^ the efficiency of the other . ' In Lord Mobpeth ' s Bill , it was proposed to en . trust the local administration of its powers to the Town Councils of Boroughs , and to invest them with the jurisdiction now exercised by several , in many instances , conflicting Boards and Commissions . There can bejno douht that the division of authority caused by the present system , and its
investment m Commissioners of Sewers , Com * missioners of Paving , Commissioners of Lighting , Directors of Water Companies , Trustees of Highwiys , &c . &c , is a source of constant annoyance , '

It would be fat . better ! to constitute such ajiody , for , that special and distinct purpose .

the individuals who offered themselves as candidates fora seat at the Sanatory Board would , in general , tie-persons who felt an ' interest in that specific subje $ t , > : ' , 0 ud would be willing to give their services to the public , in that capacity . There should , how * eVeiy be no ex-offioio seat ' s in such a Board ; no Government appointments . ' It should be entirely lected by the Rate-payers , in , open vestry ; all plurality of votes being strictly prohibited * In a matter affecting public health , all are equally interested , and all should have an equal voice ! For the
regulation of such Boards , distinct rules should be laid down ; their duties ' and powers be . clearly defined ; and the most ample means be afforded'them for the performance of their duties in their respective localities . But , in order to ensuretheir due ' perfbrraance , and to aid them in doing so , there should . also be a Central Board , empowered to enforce the discharge of their functions by the Local Boards , and in case of neglect ^ to take , the necessary steps *» supply , the deficiency . Such a central authority
would also be essential to the proper working of any comprehensive scheme , because it could collect and diffi ' se thereat information on the subject of pub-Hci health , make general , and scientific surveys , and testHne merits of plans and inventions in this department . It would , in fact ; be a friendly adviser ' and powerful auxiliarytoa willing and efficient local Board ; a Court , of-Appeal , ' . ; in the case of a neglectful , incapable , or unwilling local body being placed in power .

This would give a stimulus to the movement , and , I am confident , if carried out in themanner itskould be , that a mighty band of the good and true would be formed :

AN ARTFUL DODGE . ¦ Certainty and uniformity in . freights and measures has ' long been established by common consent to'be uniferBally advantageous to all classesof the eoiu « munity , whether in the capacity ofbuyers or sellers . In modern times , it has been an object of coastant solibitude , on the part of the Legislature , to abolish the varied weights and measures which existed in
different localities , and to establish ait imperial and definite staudard . The wisdom and justice of suoh a course iB Belf-evideat . So long as there is any irregularity or diversity , either as to the number of inohes in a yard or of ounces in the pound . it must lead to constant misunderstandiag arid disputes , not to talk of the opportunities whioh are thereby offered for dishonest practices , under coyer of % fluctuating scale . " ¦¦ '¦' . '¦ ¦' ¦ ' ' ' " ' •" - ¦ ¦ •¦ ' ; - ¦ ¦ ¦ > ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ; . ¦ >
. " Ihechildren of darkness" have , however , been pronounced , on high authority , tp ' be iriser in their generation , than the children of light ; " and latterly a new light seems to have dawned upon the minds of certain retail drapers and Bilk mercers , who have formed themselves into a Society ' , under Resounding title of the 'VEquitable > Ieasure Association ' ; " the object o £ which ' ' equitabie" _ body is to procure thirty-seven . inches to the yard , instead of the legal number-tbirty ^ six . They allege that the additional inch is required to make up for the lossin cutting up goods for retail , a number of wholesale houses have
agreed to this modest demand , while many of the largest and most respectable stoutly resistit , and a pretty fair newspaper quarrel has arisen in consequence . Wa were not awaie , until , the question was thuB agitated , thatsuch irregularities existed in thii department of national economy . A contemporary states ,. that in Leeds , ' goods are measured by the thirty-seven inch standard , and five per cent , besides is allowed for m 8 asurement , making the yart equal to about thirty-eightand ahalf inches . In Nottingh » n » , thirty-aix inohes preyails for ; tiie measurement of
lace geods . In Spitalfields , also , the legal measure nniformly prevails for silk goods . ¦ In Manchester , thirty-seven inches are allowed ia mo 3 t descriptions of goods , but in silks , ribbons , laces , and rolled jaconeta , thirty-six inohes is the rule . The inconvenience arising from the constant disputes owing to this variety , has caused a determination on the part Cf many , of the manufacturers to resist any increase of measure , as "offensive and unfair to the manufacturers , contrary to law , and unjust in principle , ' and resolutions have been come to , that in future tho ^ legal standard shall be the rule of the trade .
. This question is important , not only to buyers and sellers , but to producers . If it b" oppressive and unfair" to the manufacturer that he should give 87 or 38 j iaohes , instead of 36 , it must be equally ' oppresBire and unfair" to the op erative , who has to wewrc the additional number of inches without remuncratton . Suppose the " equitable" dedge of the shopkeepers to be successful , the result would be that a silk , ribbon , lace , or hand-loom weaver , would ia all cases have to weave 81 yards for the price of 36 . Taking the number of operatives so employed in the whole country , and adding up the number of yards which wouldba thusdishoueattj abstracted from their
labours without remuneration , it would be found to be a tax of noaligut auwunt whioU these " equitable ' retailers would impose upon the already overburdened operative . It has been estimated that in one trade alone , it would amount to £ 300 , 000 annually . Half a million would bo a very nice little pioking by the profitocracy , out of tho toil of the poor man , in addition to the larger amounts which they already take from him . And , in truth , it is upon the operative alone that the real loss would fall . NomanutactHrer whatever will give a yard of raw material , and the labour it has cost to work it up , for nothing . If
he has to give 87 inches to the yard , he will take care in giving out his warp , that it shall b » long enough to cover him from any loss , as far as labour goes , at all events . The weaver might fee paid tor 30 yards , but he would have in reality to give 37 . The 11 equitable soheme , " therefore , in Iaot , resolves itself into another bare-faced attempt to plunder the working man , to takefrom him labour without giving himany equivalent for it , and as such should be resisted by every honest mm in the empire . The votaries of Mnmmon are almost Protean in their assumption of shapes , and require to . be constantly watched and exposed . The most impudent part of the whole proceeding is , that the " equitable measure" profess to be willing to pay for 37 , instead of
3 C inohes , If so , what occasion is there for the alteration , they seek ? If there is really any loss in cutting up-a matter in whioh we confess we are ex . tremely doubtful—that loss willocourih a yard of 37 inches as well as 36 ; and if they mean honestly to pay , for the former , they may aa well content themselves with the legal standard , and thus avoid all the public inconvenience which necessarily grows out ef an indefinite , varied , and fluctuating system of measurement . With respect to the equity of their demand , they appear , in Bxuou ' a words , " To have began too soon their no menclature ; " and wo advise them to begin again the study of their 8 ehool-bo 5 dictionaries . Those who nevpr had an » . . nd hand S ^^ ffS ^ Sf ^ t bookaellers , In an a ° e whioh talks ¦ ««^ .
