IMPORTANT MEETING OF TRADES' DELE GATES AT SHEFFIELD . On Wednesday evening , Not . 20 th , a numerous meeting of delegates from the Sheffield trades was held at the London 'Prentice , to consider the proceedings of the meeting of merchants and manufacturers , held in the Cutlera ' -hali . Mr . Stones took the chair . The Chairman would not offer any excuse for his incapacity , but would endeavour to serve them as well as he could . The subject was of vital importance . Every well-thinking man was called on to place himself right before the public . After the calumnies lieaj > ea on them by the manufacturers , it was the duty ot every member of a Trades' Union to utter bis sentiments !
Mr . . Tnos . Booth said , that the working classes had been abused , slandered , belied , and ill-treated last week ' s papers testified . The masters had departed , from the subject they announced in their placard , and had turned upon the working classes , that they might act with them as they had ) done before , deprive them of their rights , and reduce them to degradation , misery , and pauperism . One gentleman said that " Sheffield was a doomed city . " If it was doomed , as many ancient cities had been , to desolation , he hoped , before it fell , the working classeB would erect some monument to be read by a future Hunter , to commemorate that the working classes were steadfast in the cause of humanity , and demanded their just rights . It appeared the
gentlemen met on the subject of protecting lire and property ,: but they turned from that subject to the means of reducing the working classes again to that state of ; misery and vassalage ot which they could not think without horror . They offered no proof that the Trades' Unions had destroyed one particle of the trade , or that any committee had been accessory to ^ any crimes against life or property . No such proof waa pretended to be adduced , and there never had been of a recent date any proofs that could connect committees with such attempts . The objects of the masters were first to slander , and , if possible , next to form an association to destroy the unions , however justly and righteously conducted . It was to be no consideration whether they were well
or ill-managed . No suggestions were offered for their better management . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Ibbotson and others had said the trades were ma- ^ naged by committees , but none said whence those committees came . They did not say that the committees were chosen by the members of the trades , every man having a voice , and that in what the committees did , they merely carried out the resolutions of the body . ( Hear , hear . ) These gentlemen forgot that they were about to act on the same principle themselves . They had seen what sort of wages the masters allowed them , what hours they worked them , and how they made use « f the guardians to drive them back upon such masters as Mr . Ibbotson , that the poor wretches might supplicate him for leave to live at all .
3 e might be a friend to unions , but it was Poor Law Unions ; not to unions that enabled men to say , we will have so much wage , or do no work , and we work so many hours , and no more . The principle the masters desired was , to work their men as many hours as they pleased , and to keep a reserve unemployed as a means to reduce wages . ( Cheers . ) It was the unemployed surplus that enabled masters to bring down wages to the starvation point . He had read a small pamphlet , from the Edinburgh Review , called " The Employer and the Employed . " It was chiefly in favour of the masters ; but it contained this admission , that if , in a given trade , 950 men were eniT ployed , and 50 men unemployed , it was those 50 who would reduce the rate of wages . If the men had been
getting 25 s . a week , the 50 unemployed would offerto work for 20 s ., thus displacing the other 50 , and gradually bringing down the wages of the whole . It was not the employed , but the unemployed , who made the reduction ; and this shewed the effect of the short-time system , which enabled all the hands to be engaged , and left no 50 to receive wages . Let them remember , that the treatment of the pauper was so crueL that they revolted in the streets . Let them never again forsake the cause of humanity , and allow men to be thrown in such numbers on the parish , to be so treated again . Let them rather reduce their labour to an hour a day , thanwibmitto such degradation . ( Cheers . ) Sir Robert Peel advised , some tune ago , that they should take their own affairs into their own hands .
( Cheers . ) If Parliament would not pass short-time billfr-r-and he deplored it much—let them who were adult do it for themselves , and the children who worked underthem . ( Cheers . ) The masters had always attempted to take undue advantage of the men who confided in them . There never yet was a Trades ' Union sprung into existence , till the rights of the men had first been encroached upon . ( Cheers . ) Every Trades' Union had emanated from the tyranny and oppression of the masters , which compelled the men , when the opportunity served , to take advantage of it to recover the position from which they had fallen .
There was division among the masters now , and if anv concern ceased work , the others would take its orders . The manufacturers never could thoroughly unite . It was the more important that the men should do so . Let their cause , their earnestness , be one . Let them carry out the work they had so nobly begun , with a determination tn transmit to their children the inheritance of a recompense for their labour , without too much toil . It had been calculated that two hours' labour a day by each person would maintain the whole population . Surely , then , those who worked nine hours did their full share , and any who worked less than two hours did not do their share . He concluded by moving— " That this meeting is of opinion that the arguments advanced by the

, meeting , al the ^ utlerVBAU / xra tlie 13 th > inrt ., waaina great measure at variance , as respects the legitimate objects the nM « tingjTO 3 called for , viz ., the better protectior of V& and property ; that while the present meeting approVe of every effort that can be made to render the above more secure , it deprecates , in the strongest terms , the iUberal and ungeinerous attacks that have been made against associations of workmen ; and this meeting is further of opinion , that the best means oi defence is called for , to guard more effectually unions of workmen from such ill-founded and slanderous imputations as have been ascribed to them . " Mr . John Druby seconded the motion . One object in calling this meeting was similar to the ^
avowed object of the late meeting at the Cutlers ' Hall—to coalesce for the better defence of life and property . There were plenty of moral means to punish men who were inimical to the best interests of the trade , without coercing persons or destroying property . This hadbeen his opinion for some time ; and had the manufacturers confined themselves to their legitimate object , he should have applauded their conduct . But when he saw their reauisitlon , he suspected they had other objects , and that , under pretence of protecting life and property , they insidiously designed to attack the Trades' Unions . If they broke up the unions , what equivalent had the manufacturers to give ? ( Cheers ) . From past experience they knew what would be their fate . What
What was the state of the disorganised trades during the seven lean years spoken of oy Earl Fitzwilliam- ? What \ v ; uj the condition of the spring-knife cutlers , the table-knife hai ' tera , the fork-makers and grinders , who wore disorganised ? Many were on the pavishbooks . and many more laboured hard , and scarcely got more than the pariah pittance . In the fork-trade , there had been instances of men falling dead from real want . These cases shewed the unenviable condition of disorganised trades , and if they were disorganised , no doubt such scenes would soon be seen again . At the Town Hall Mr . Ibbotson had said that he had no contentions with his own men ; that ho treated them as a father , and they liked him , He must have a very bad memory , for he had a
controversy with certain trades about twelve months ago , when they had some very serious complaints against him . ( Hear , hear . ) He stated that , for nine months , when he had no orders , he employed 500 men . Those who knew Mr . Ibbotson , and could 8 waUow that statement , liad surely no right to treat Jack the Giant-Killer , or Sinbad the Sailor , as at all fabulous . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Sorby , too , with a good deal of egotism , boasted of his liberality ; but a friend had put him in possession of a statement at which he was not a little startled . He stated that Mr . Sorby had a person ' working for him with both feet and hands , doing with his feet work that should be done by steam or water power . In consequence of this worse than treadmill labour , the individual was
oftenill . He did not learn that Mr . Sorby visited [ him in his illness , or gave him any greater remuneration , but though he had a wife and four children , his wages were 16 s . ; a week . Other circumstances went to « how that the greater part of the men in a certain trade did not get more than 16 s . a week , while other employers , who did not go to the Cutlers ' Hall to boast of their liberality , were paying 21 s . This statement shewed how liberally and egotistically gentlemen could talk when they had none to confront : them . He said , with Mr . Booth , the workmen must I stir in their own cause , for nobody would do it for theln . The time was arrived when the working men , having got some leisure hours , should try to employ them well , and there waa no better mode than
agriculture . ( Loud cheers . ) The thing had often been mooted and lost sight of , but he trusted the trades would now take it seriously up . In many cases it had been found that men employing their spare time on the land had a greater command over the necessaries of life than if they depended entirely on artizan labour . He heartily seconded tho resolution . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman said , he was sorry he was placed in the chair , for he represented a trade , the saw-makers , which had received such insults from the manufacturers as few others had done . The greater part of the statements of the manufacturers were palpable falsehoods . They shewed that the working classes must protect themselves better for the future . Labour was the source of all wealth . It enabled the
manufacturer * to build palaces for themselves , to make themselves comfortable , and too send their clerks to the Isle of Man . Might it not enable the men to build themselves workshops , as well as they were built for them , and place themselves in a position they wore little aware of ? Mr . Broadhurst was aorry that a resolution of the manufacturers had not been ciirried out . That resolution shewed what they had to expect if they were guided b y the ruleg of the masters , and in what position they and their children should "be placed . The masters had been disappointed in the effect of their rule , and now wanted to see if they could not force themselves into it . ( Hear , hear . ) The rule was , that any man not acting according to the wishes of any other
manufacturer , should be proscribed , and that no other should employ him . There was philosophy ! ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Wilkinson , table-knife hafter , said this was a meeting of much importance . Ft was necessary the public should know more than the manufacturers had told them—that the public should understand what principles the Unions were acting upon , as well as to repeal the assertions , without proof , made at the Cutlers' Hall . He was sorry the manufacturers took up the Unions in the spirit they did . They complained o £ the men using means to force prices artificially high , and turning the trade from channels it would take if free . But , m talking on this subject , they indulged the spirit they deprecated , and their object appeared to crush , in every illegal and unoonoui / uiiuiiju / utv uiuvna iuiii / iituieu ui
Yttj , uiey ^ . They recommended nothing , but talked about closing their manufactories , and being able to say they had broken up the Unions . This spirit was a bad one , and was likely to produce a degree of antagonism far nuwc hurtful to the town than the Trades Unions . They had heard of Earl Fitzwilliam , after hearing the statement of only one side , state that the manufacturers of Sheffield had been compelled to refuse to an order that had been offered , because the men had struck , and the order had been sent to the continent . This was an order that would have come to his branch of the haftera , for it was a table-knife order for Mr . Muntz . This tale had been repeated in the House of Commons and in the press , and had done harm . But it would have a contrary effect when the facta were explained , At the time of that order the hafters were working at a price the manufacturers had agreed to . The priee had been fixed on a reconciliatory principle . The masters thought it little enough , and had promised
that , in three months , there should be another advance . The forgers also had submitted to the wages which the masters had agreed to . The fork trade had had no advance . Their Union was then in embryo . The men were then getting no extra price , but only what the masters thought reasonable . The order of Mr . Muntz was therefore returned , because it could not be done at prices which the manufacturers had themselves pronounced reasonable . It was not the workmen who had done it . And he wished this statement , which he had from a manufacturer , to go abroad , that' the price Mr . Muntz offered would not have afforded parish pay to the hafters and forgera . It was said that the order was taken to G « rmanyi but lot it be known that it came back again , and the goods were hafted in Sheffield . ( Cheers . ) The statement which had been made should be exploded .
Mr . Drory said , it had been done in their reply to Earl Fitzwilliam . Mr . Wii , kinso \ : The manufacturers told them that they did not object to the prices , but to their Unions . But if asked whether the ) r could have the prices without the Unions , they answered they could not . Then it stood thus— 'fhev did not object to the prices , but to the Unictaa , without which they could not have the prices . Then down went the statement that they did not object to the piiees . Their scheme was to break down the Unions , not by right , but by power . They complained of the restrictions . These were an important feature in Trades' Unions . The men did not consider it sufficient to arrange for a certain price . But regulations were needed to protect
that price in perpetuity . They had , therefore , introduced the regulations of the Ten-hours' bill . This was complained of . They were told that trade could not be regulated by houra—that ships could not wait on their hours—and that the loss of an opportunity did a deal of injury . He admitted this , unless the regulation were earned out as in his trade , and then it could do no injury . The hafter might work ten hours , and was not allowed to do more . But if a manufacturer wanted to pack by a given time , so that the non-execution of the work would be an inconvenience , the man was allowed to take a note , authorizing him to work all night , Or 14 or 15 hours a day , till the order was completed , on condition that he should work so much less time , when he could do
so without inconvenience . That was their regulation . It was not a restriction , and he thought any reasonable man would consider it proper . It was not right that some men should be working 14 or 15 hours a day , while others should be on the fund , or starving . Instead of one man working 14 or 15 hours a day , it was better that he should only work 10 , and the other five hours go to another man , so that all might have a share of the labour of society . He hoped other trades would consider this plan . He had heard of one manufacturer to-day , going to another , and proposing a plan to beat the hafters , forgers , and grinders , as they should not urgently want their orders g : tting up till the next packing
season commenced . This had been told them by one to whom it had been pnijiiscd . Such was the gentlemanly and philanthropic spirit displayed .

Ko men- Before they were in union tne touoving had , for seven or eight years , been the practice in their trade . The ' factors , who had no sympathy with the men , kept back the orders to the last moment , and kept sending round to the small masters to see how low they could get thr goods . At last they threw out a great quantity of orders . The men were urged to the utmost . They had to procure assistance . Men from the parish were set on , and ' 1

by a great ekertion ; , as many goods were got up in three mO&ths ] as now required . six . This had been going on for years , and s ^ pw / were the wages , that many men , having their wives and children working , got no more than 13 s . or Ha . a week , and . yet the men werejao much worn out on a Saturday night , having got up ! as many goods iri a week as they ought to do in a fortnight , that they could scarcely crawl home . . This Could not be done now . The regulation he had described prevented it , and caused a more regular tradei Mr . SHAVr , jfender-makerrsaid their trade had a connexion in ! London , and throughout England and Scotland . They had a box all the way through England , and they could stop the supplies to their masters , as they had done , while they had friends who could furnish supplies to them . They were not conquered so soon as many might think . ( Cheers . )
A Representative of the Penknife Cutlers said he was the delegate of that Door , degraded body " , the penknife cutlers , a name which for twenty years had been a by-word for poverty . He had the honour last year to wait ojn all the principal manufacturers , and he would give * some account of their views . Tho object of his mission was to see if they would co-operate in raising theimen from the degraded state in which they were placed . He began with Messrs . Joseph Rodgers and $ ons , and had a long interview with Air . John Rodgers , who certainly went over a deal of ground , and took a retrospective view of the trade , lie mentioned that his father was accustomed to
remark how soon his best hands , his sportsmen hands , as he called them , became old men , having to toil many hours , -and receive but a small pittance . If that was the case then , how much worse had it been since ? There were articles for which Mr . Rodgers had been paying 24 s . per dozen making , which small manufacturers were making , with a deal of work , but not a useful -article , at 6 s . and 7 s . a dozen . Mr . Rodgers gave : them every encouragement , and not only did so in words , but advanced £ 20 to form the union of their trade . ( Cheers . ) So much for a respectable manufacturer thinking Trades' Unions an injury . He also visited Mr . Turner , 6 f Suffolk Works , who j expressed his willingness to concur as far as he could , and subscribed two guineas .
Mr . Wostenhdlme was in America , but his foreman gave them every encouragement . They went to another manufacturer , who looked ready for a rope or the canal . Efe had despair in his countenance . He said he could buy cheaper than he could manufacture , and he wished them success ; for he did not know what to do . The sight of that man so took away his spirits , that he could go no further that day . The next day they ( went to Mr . Rowbothani , who was willing to do all he could in encouraging his men to join the union . Some talked of wishing to crush the unions ; but if it were done , in a few months there would be scarcely a manufacturer of table-knives or penknives left . All tilings would be turned round . He did not kuow what to think of men who talked of
crushing the unions . He knew men who at present prices could earn only 8 a . or 10 s . a week , and yet were paying Is . a w ^ ek to protect themselves for the future , and not for any present good . They did it willingly . They were not coerced . When he was a young man , he knew a young woman who had a sweetheart . Her mother asked ( her , " What trade is thy young man ?" " A fine penknife cutler , mother . " " Pry'thee , bass , don't have him ; thou'lt have nowt but poverty . " " Well , what trade must I have , mother ? " This set the mother a puzzling , and at last she said a diesinker . " Well then , mother , " said the daughter , " I shall be glad if you'll get me one . " ( Laughter . ) That young woman was no other than his wife—( Laughter )— -and he mentioned thiB to warn them against letting their trades fall into the same state . ( Cheers . ) j
Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said that lately the table-knife manufacturers and hafters met , when the chainnanjof the meeting at the Cutlers' Hall was one of them , i He said he honed the union would secure regular prices , for the factors could buy cheaper than they could manufacture , and he hoped the regulation of prices would enable him to manufacture again . From time to time , since then , he had been supplied with ! hands . His trade had extended , but he manufactured more and bought less . Therefore , it was plain his objection to the Union was groundless . The manufacturers , on the commencement of their Union , ' contributed £ 170 , to assist them in organising , and to regulate prices . Eighteen months ago , there were upon the parish books one-third of
the able-bodied men in their trade . At this time there was not one . They paid a deal of money every Saturday night to the men out of employ , which prevented heavy rates , and aaved the men from , the poorhouse . Surel y this waa a great benefit . Mr . Buxro . v , table-knife forger , said he liked to be paid for what he did , and to encourage the same spirit in others . He trusted that the spirit they had shown would ] have a good influence . In depressed trade , the masters stinted the men . The men saw it suited the masters , and they had tried it for themselves . They found that it needed no more trade than they had had to maintain the men as they were maintained now . The men had adopted it , but the masters were the first aeeressors . The masters saw
that it worked well . The men had now one-third of their time to cultivate their mental powers , and thus would become better able to oppose tyranny . The short-time system was working well among the men , and it was desirable that there should be a disposition among them to work it with fidelity . They were now comparatively comfortable , but the attempt was made to crush them , and the assertion that peraon 3 and property were in danger would be startling unless met by counter statements . He urged this was a matter of interest—their own interest . If a foreign foe threatened , the country would call oh every Englishman to do his duty . And should not their personal interest stimulate them as much as that of the public ? It was right that men should sacrifice their personal interest for the common good . . That they had done , but now he wanted them to arouse themselves to secure comfert for themselves , ; their wives , and children . ( Cheers . ) It
was for this that they thought and studied , that they read the papers , and watched the course of events . They wanted to restore a better state of things than | that men should work long hours for nothing . If . the men were adequately paid , would they allow iwomen and children before they had learned to read , to go to the workshops ? In that case , 8 hould ; they see the masters resort to such dastardly racana as this association to protect lii ' e and property , and the bad feeling of the town increased by the declarations of some of the masters . If we get you down , we'll screw you worse than you ever nave been . . ?( Hear , hear . ) Let them remember the Masters andj Servants' Bill of last session , by which men might have been brought before the magistrates for anything ; or nothing . ( Cheers . ) If such a bill had passed , ] they might soon have seen the time when the people would be as subservient as of old . The resolution was then put to the vote , and carried unanimously .
Mr . Joseph Wilkinson , of the file trade , rose to propose the ¦ second resolution . He thought enough had been said to convince any reasonable men of tue masters' error , and to shew them that Trades ' Unions were not the evil they spoke of . Short time was said to ] be a great evil—he thought it a great good . He quoted from Wades History of the Middle and Working Classes , an illustration similar to that quoted by K [ r . Booth , to shew that it was the unemp loyed portion of any trade who reduced its waeea . Flic masters Imight give over manufacturing , and live on their capital , and they ( the workmen ) claimed the same right . ] ( Hear , hear . ) What master had a right to say he must work fourteen hours a day , when his health and comfort told him 10 hours were enough ? Besides , there was his neighbour , who , if
he and others worked 14 hours , must go without ; he , too , if they worked moderate houra , would have a share . But the masters would remove their capital ! Where to ? To America ? The Americans would dictate to them more than the English , and besides woiikl call the Boss , and not master . ( Laughter . )] Where would they make goods cheaper than in England ? Cobbett said England was the cheapest labour-market in the world . He believed it was . Where but in England would they get a gross of scissors ground for la . ? Yet here the scissors were manufactured and sold , material . and all , for 2 s . 3 d . j ! All the casting , grinding , putting together , filing , burnishing , paper , band , and everything inclntled , was sola for 2 s . 3 d . per gross !
Where would a rich man manufacture cheaper ? ( Loud cheers . ) But they were told they had no right to dictate to their fellow-workmen on what terms they should sell their labour . He held that they had that right . He would suppose a ease . Take him to be a single man , able to do as much work as anyi man m the trade . His fellow-workman liad a wife ] and three children . Their master had work enough for only one . They were paid , say one shilling a dozen . Now , Bhould he say to the master—If you will give me all the work , I will do it at 8 d . The married man might surely remonstrate— " Joe , thou'lt starve me to death . It may do for a single man like thee , but we can't live on that . " He said , the man had a right to try to persuade him to stand up for the maintenance of the la ., and if he did not do it , he should be a rogue . He met his own master one day—a j man who was always willing to ' pay the price , though he very probably required a shilling ' s
worth for a shilling—and he said to him , why don ' t you spend your time and energies in making those pay the price who do not pay it ? Look at so and so ; make them ! pay the price . That was what they were aiming to do . The men who wanted to crush the Unions were those who wanted to get rich in a few years ; theibold speculators , who had several sons , and must have a fortune for each , as well as a portion for each daughter . They hasted to be rich , and « n tell into temptation , and the snoic ul" ilif devil ; and it wruiM Uwoll if thev wove not drowned in perdition . Such men cared and ' ; ,. it w none but self , while they ] must feel for tlu-. r wives and children . He had heard of one gentleman saying , " , I have beat my men single-handed . " ( Laughter . ) When the people were all rejoicing that peace was made , and Napoleon sent to St . Helena , old Cobbett said , " Don't bej so reiwly to sit down to the feast—the shot's to p ' ay yet . " ( Laughter . ) And so he said to the gentlemen who made this boast . He had a reso I

lution to move , which he did not expect to be complied with . He moved— " That it is the opinion t £ this meeting that a public meeting of the inhabitant of this town be convened as early as possible , and aa invitation sent to the party ' who met at the Cutlers ' Hall , to discuss certain propositions —( Hear i hear . )«« which will be submitted to them through the medium of the public press . " ( Cheers ^ ) He believed tie challenge would not be met . He believed the manufacturers hated the light—they knew why . ( Loud laughter . ) Mr . Tatlor , edge-tool gririder , seconded the motion . Man was ordained to eat bread by the sweat of his brow . But the famished looks they had seen during the last seven years shewed that they could not always get bread by that means .
Mr . Wilkinson again rose , and said , as to short time , he wished to advise how they should deal with those opposed to it . If there was one out of twelve in a shop who would not comply , let them not call him " knobstick , " or do any thing to make him un « comfortable . But at night , when the time toleav work arrived , let the eleven quietly put their coats on , and leave him alone , and they might rely upon it he would not stand it long , but would cease to be a knobstick , and become a good man . He had long taken in and admired Chambers ' s Journal ; but Chambers was now publishing a series of tracts , and one was on " The Employers and the Employed . " It was a one-sided concern , and' he believed had been Issued from Chambers ' s press , knowing that it would thus gain a greater circulation than through any other medium . The resolution was then put and carried .
Mr . Geo . Gallimobe said , if it was not so late , he should have wished to draw attention to the article in the Independent on Trades' Unions , which he conceived to be as slanderous an attack as the speeches at the meeting . He hoped there would be another opportunity to go into its merits . A Delegate from the Spring-knife Cutlers , concurred in this complaint . Their proceedings were not duly reported , and till they had a press of their own , things would be no better Things werestrangled year after year by editors , who turned everything to suit their partv . The press abetted the tyranny that was bringing the working classes to starvation . Mr . T . Boom moved , that a committee of seven be named , to prepare the propositions for discussion , to fix the time of the meeting , and to invite the masters to attend . Mr . Drury seconded the motion . An amendment was proposed to substitute sine for
seven . The mover assented to the change , and the raotioa . was carried . The Committee was nominated as follows : —Messrs . Thomas Booth , John Drury , Stones , W . Broadhead , Buxton , B . Littlewood , John Taylor , G . Wilkinson , and \ V . Pryor . —Carried unanimously . Mr . Drury then read the following letter from Mr . Duncombe : — The Albany , Nov . 16 th , 18 « . Deab Sib , — On my return to town , I found your note , aa . companied by the Pamphlet containing your reply to the speech recently delivered by Lord Fitzwilliam at the Cutlers' Feast , and which , according to your request , I have perused with great attention , and think that it contains much valuable information , and is written with great ability . It will require , in my opinion , stronger
arguments than Lord , Fitzwuham has adduced , to induce the Legislature to suppress Trades' Unions . There can be no doubt that the Masters' and Sen-ants' Bill of last session . was an insidious attempt at that object by Sir J . Graham . I do not think it was brought in with that view , but ha seized the opportunity of converting it to that purpose , wishing to direct it more especially , 1 believe , at that time , to the pitmen in the north . I should not be surprised if some fresh attempt were made next year ; but you , and all my kind friends at Sheffield , may rely upon a continuance of my exertions to defeat any attempt to prevent what I consider a just combination of the industrious classes . I am , dear Sir , yours faithfully , THOS . S . DUNCOMBE . Mr . W . Broadheab moved a vote of thanks to th « Chairman , which was carried , and the meeting broke up after 11 o ' clock .
Lecture on Tkadks' Unions . '—On Sunday ovening Mr . West delivered a lecture to the trades oa "Trades' Unions , and their duty at the present crisis . " The large room , Fig-tree-lane , was crowded to excess . At half-past six o'clock Mr . Morton Royston was called to the chair , who in a very appropriate address introduced Mr . West to the meeting . Mr . West , in a masterly address , which occupied nearly two hours in the delivery , traced the cause , origin , and progress of trades' unions , the history of strikes , ¦ ana the causes of their failure . He then pointed out the necessity of a consolidation of all trades in the country for mutual protection . He shewed minutely the advantages to the various trades by investing their funds in the purchase of land , to
employ their hands either in slack trade or when they were on strike . At the close of Mr . West's address a person named Cliffe made some remarks respecting the Corn Laws , and the doings of " Swing " in the agricultural districts , which , he said , was doing more to bring the aristocracy to their sense * than all the progress and intelligence of the workingclasses . Mr . West replied satisfactorily oa the Suestion of the Corn Xiaws , and showed clearly bat it was the progress of mind among- the masses that the oppressors , both manufacturing andagricultural , dreaded most . Mr . G . Cooke said they had had enough of the humbug of Corn Laws . What they wanted was some plan by which they might be enabled to become independent of the caprice and
tyranny of their employers . Ab a great number of the trades ' ' delegates were present , he would like to know if they were prepared with any plans to carry out the very excellent recommendations of Mr . West . Mr . Booth , metal smith , said the trades' delegates were purely administrative , not executive ; they acted on the broad basis of political equality , and could not dictate any plans until the trades had decided oa them . Tliey could give their opinions ; and his was , that the safest investment they could make of their funds was in the land . He then shewed , with great clearness , the superiority of the hind over manufactures , as an investment for their capital . For the produce of the land they had a home market at their own doors , whilst the peculiarity of their trade made
them in a degree dependant on foreign markets , and the factors , who were the great exporters . After a many more very excellent observations , Mr . Booth sat down amid universal applause . There were then loud calls for Mr . John Drury , the respected and indefatigable secretary of the United Grinders . Mr . Drury came forward , and , after complimenting Mr . West on his able lecture , took a reyiew of the objections of the masters to Trades' Unions , exhibiting the silliness of those objections in a masterly style . He next referred to the fact of the masters withdrawing their support from the Mechanics' Institution , because , as they said , there were Trades' Unions in the town : a proof that they dreaded the progress ot
knowledge among the working classes . But they were toolate ; the multitude had become enlightened ; their motto must now be " onward" until they achieved labour ' s honest triumph , and secured eouality and justice to all . Mr . Drury sat down loudly cheered . Mr . Gallimore , razor-gnnder , stated that he waa happy to inform the trades present , that it was the intention of the working classes of Sheffield to purchase for Mr . Drury a life annuity , in testimony of his valuable services , and to place him beyond the persecuting grasp of tyrants ; this announcement was received with great cheering . After a rote « thanks to the Lecturer and Chairman , this great meeting , the most important ever held in the Chartist room , broke up shortly after ten o ' clock .
