His Lordship limited his remarks to one department of the work, in which he had made a large experiment, and failed. A few years ago, in tho hope that he might do something to relieve the misery caused by congested population, he (Lord Brassey) purchased large tracts of land in Australia and Canada. Selected families were sent out, numbering 3G0 persons. The emigrants were to begin as labourers, and were to be helped to become in due timeindependent farmers. Having paid passages and settled them on land, he shared the general experience in such cases. Only a few weeks had elapsed when every one of his emigrants had sought some other employment. Was it not obvious that to the poor agricultural labourer repayment of advances which he had received was an extremely irksome obligation ? The truth was colonisation could not be carried out on business principles, and if they undertook colonisation it should be undertaken as an act of philanthropy. The only plan Was Dr. Barnardo's, under which young people were taken in hand early in life, sent to Canada, traibed in lield work and domestic duties, and were eagerly sought after in Canadian homesteads. Lord Brassey also said he hoped in a few years to receive Dr. Barnardo in Canada, and provide him with land for another of his homes.A meeting of Accrington weavers was held lastnight to consider the eight hours movement. There was considerable diversity of opinion. Over-production, it was argued, was not the causeof depression,which was to be found in the currency question. Another speaker censured the weavers' leaders for giving way to meet the stunners’ views. The Chairman (Mr. Shackleton) said English machinery was going abroad, and a curtailment of the hours of labour would simply drive trade to other countries. A resolution was carried, in the proportion of ten to one, against a reduction of the hours of labour.Sir Henry James's award as to the restrictionof boy labour in the shoe trade was received in Leicester yesterday.
