This li tle volume may, therefore have for us- noti only. a- general, but a practical interest'.

Two French artisans, Tolain and. Fribourg, we are toldrhaving ,come,- over to Eng- land at the time of the -International Ex- hibitiqn of 1862, carried back te France a seductive account of the English Trade Unions. Th(i French artisans wished to found an i organieetion oh . the same model, but found themselves pi-ecluded by the law forbidding associatioes of workingmen in' France.. A sharp law- y•er hinted to them -that' they might evade the law by, affiliating themselves to a foteign society. A, society was ac- cordingly formed in 'London, with Od- England named Ecearius, at its head, to which the French en were affiliated, and which was call. d the Iiiternational This society raznifie( , became European, and held a Congress at Geneva, at which cal measures for raii ing wages and reduc- ing the hours of wo k, while the French delegates advocate( aerial ;schemes for the regeneration of .the Industrial world. lf Mr. Yorke may tie trusted, -the French Empite coquetted to a considerable ex- tent with the leaflets of this. induetrial .movement. The policy of the -French , Camara, like that of their. Roman proto- types, was A mixture of despotism and.' demagogism ; and ', while they "saved society " -with their bayonets, they' car- ried on intrigues in the lower strata of society with the. -view of .geiting allies against the libeeal ' middle classes, and beneath the serface of military order charged the mine which exploded in the insurrection of the Commuue: , The French artisens, as Might -have been ex-.' pected, soon grew jealous of English 'as- cendency, and a dispute, - in which the_ French were victorioes, ended in a prac- tical transfer of the headquarterfe of the Society to Paris. ,i, At the Geneva - ongrese, the • Polish question had been introdUCal, and ithe red flag had: been di played on an C:Kaili'- sion, steamboat. But during the earlier period of its history the society was es- sentially industrial. - • Gradually, - how- ever, by -a natural aeinity, there mingled with .it a political movement, at the bottom of which, datkly and fitfully, am pear the sinister 'features of Karl Marx, a wande ring Sews Whose personal aims appear to be enveloped in mystery, but who no doubt expected by -troubling the waters of society to take some kind of fish. This worthy, we are told, spent his clays in studying politics and econo- my at the Britislm Museum, and his nights in studying the worldngmen at their places of social resort.

This li tle volume may, therefore have for us- noti only. a- general, but a practical interest'.

Two French artisans, Tolain and. Fribourg, we are toldrhaving ,come,- over to Eng- land at the time of the -International Ex- hibitiqn of 1862, carried back te France a seductive account of the English Trade Unions. Th(i French artisans wished to found an i organieetion oh . the same model, but found themselves pi-ecluded by the law forbidding associatioes of workingmen in' France.. A sharp law- y•er hinted to them -that' they might evade the law by, affiliating themselves to a foteign society. A, society was ac- cordingly formed in 'London, with Od- England named Ecearius, at its head, to which the French en were affiliated, and which was call. d the Iiiternational This society raznifie( , became European, and held a Congress at Geneva, at which cal measures for raii ing wages and reduc- ing the hours of wo k, while the French delegates advocate( aerial ;schemes for the regeneration of .the Industrial world. lf Mr. Yorke may tie trusted, -the French Empite coquetted to a considerable ex- tent with the leaflets of this. induetrial .movement. The policy of the -French , Camara, like that of their. Roman proto- types, was A mixture of despotism and.' demagogism ; and ', while they "saved society " -with their bayonets, they' car- ried on intrigues in the lower strata of society with the. -view of .geiting allies against the libeeal ' middle classes, and beneath the serface of military order charged the mine which exploded in the insurrection of the Commuue: , The French artisens, as Might -have been ex-.' pected, soon grew jealous of English 'as- cendency, and a dispute, - in which the_ French were victorioes, ended in a prac- tical transfer of the headquarterfe of the Society to Paris. ,i, At the Geneva - ongrese, the • Polish question had been introdUCal, and ithe red flag had: been di played on an C:Kaili'- sion, steamboat. But during the earlier period of its history the society was es- sentially industrial. - • Gradually, - how- ever, by -a natural aeinity, there mingled with .it a political movement, at the bottom of which, datkly and fitfully, am pear the sinister 'features of Karl Marx, a wande ring Sews Whose personal aims appear to be enveloped in mystery, but who no doubt expected by -troubling the waters of society to take some kind of fish. This worthy, we are told, spent his clays in studying politics and econo- my at the Britislm Museum, and his nights in studying the worldngmen at their places of social resort.

Prices of Iron are unprecedented high, but with the labor disputes now peading with the colliers- and puddlers it is more than prob- able they will go still -highea The general a.gitAion in tbe labor market is for. eight hours per day, and as high rates of wages as the men can ferce from their emPloyers. There is coneequentiv a, rel- atively diminished produetton, and „the t present active demand is fully sufficient to sustain present, and even higher rates. Makers have orders sufficient to keep them fully occupied for three or four months, and for longer periods in sheets and boiler plates. You need not, there- fore, look for any sharp decline for along time yet.f" In view of the above condition of Eng- lish markets, importers here cannot be too careful not to part with their goods under the cost of reimportation.
