Sir, your's trulv, A SHAREHOLDER. I'. S. Since writing the above, 1 understand, and I congratulate my fellow Shareholders on ihe fortunate eiiTimislance, that the Funds are beyond the reach of Ihe Faction, who are now in a worse condition than ihe Fox in the Fable, not only disappointed of their prey, but likely themselves to be huna; : o the Vine. To the- SHAREHOLDERS of the BKISTU- LIAN BREAD ASSOCIATION, My Brother Shareholders, Since the- last General Meeting-, I have visited your Committee- room daily, and I can only say, it reflects honor and credit on its present members, for the gentlemanly- like manner in which thev have transacted the business of the Association ; indeed, 1 should do'injustice to my feelings, was I not to make some remark On the manly conduct and sound principle of the few ehostti by the Shareholders themselves. In the transaction of your business, you see no party spirit, no unnecessary expence, no interestedness, and ab © ve all; no greasy Rogers to interrupt that economy with which our interest has prompted the Committee to act in the pur- chase of materials, and selection of proper tradesmen for the completion of the concern. I can assure you, no party feeling prompts me to condemn any one uamerited, for 1 have had an opportunity to judge fairly be- twixt both parties, ( 1 haveseen tha- transac- tions ot each) that is, the Ex- Committee and the present— the former I consider no better than swindlers, who wish . to cheat the poor people out of their money, and the oppor- tunity of purchasing a' pure loaf^- if, there- fore, my friends, you will come forward, as I have done, ami mill do again, to pay up your instalments as they become due, and oil eich share pay to Mr. Aeland one extra penny, which will enable him to proceed to London, and there file a bill in Chancery, against the Bankers for the recovery of the o£ T900, which . must be given up sooner or later* or they must make others do so Now I . exhort jou, my Brother Sharholders, to giye all possible support, and not allow your-' selves to be trampled upon by a set of public robbers. ( I do not mean Messrs. Haythorne and Co. as I do think they are gentlemen) but a parcel of fellows that were once Com- j mittee- men but are now a disgrace to so- ciety, Press forwaard, my friends, and let us assemble round the standard of the Con- stitution, and let these Ex- Committee- men see how little they must appear in their own eyes, and in those of the public. I remain till my next, your's, & c. A Shareholder in the Corner. To tbe PROVISIONAL SECRETARY of the• Brittulian Broad Association. ' Paulton. near Bath, Dec. 5, 1829. Sir. Your's-, of the 27th date, 1 duly received, ai d should sooner have replied thereto but was un- able so to do from confinement bv rheuma'. ism. I have this day been down to my Mill, and find the whole taken away except about a load. The parts remaining consist, I see, in- a few holding down plates, two small piipes", one fhtur machine, and a few other articles all- which 1 incline to think will come at one load, as I be- fore remarked. I am sorrv to be under the necessity of com- plaining to he Committee of the Very improper con duct- of their people in removing a large door wnv. such might have been easily avoided, and the erection oj such I consider the Committee ought to cause to be erected as heretofore. Tbe reason it was removed was io- get outtiie pit wheel, & c., but the same had no reason to be so, there being ample room adjacent. 1 agteed with Mr. Alloway's kinsman ( as 1 understood the young man to be) to take down what parrot' the w » ll he found necessary in the Engine house for its removal. When 1 sold the Engine and Mill to your Deputation, it was understood lhat as little da'nage should'be done as could possibly be, but in this instance that has'- been departed from, and without any pretence whatever. I request you will be so good as to represent lhis statement to your Committee, and cause the same to be rectified. I do not- request anything improper, believe me. Hat I been aware that such would have taken- place alter what had been, agreed upon, .! most certainly should have taken steps to cause your workmen to have adopted a different line of conduct. I find a Tram Rail has been broken, which I expect paid for, viz. five shil ings. Ycsur's truiy,. R. RAWLINS. N. B. Now 1 am writing, I will make one remark on what Mn AlloWay's kinsman related respecting the intended project of sinking a Well lo supply the Engine wiih Water. Who- ever persuaded your Society to adopt such a plan ought to be well horsewhipped as a fool ( excuse my epithet), for I aro sure he knows nothing of Engineering to piopose such a step. I know very well there are no Ten Wills in Bristol that will supply your wants the whole year round— and what is your Concern without house water to the Engine. Do not act so ridi- culously let me beg of you— you wll see your folly when too late. Your Engine must have a lOinch pump of water to supply it. See the gree. t. quanaty a well must contain to . furnish such.'— Any observations on my part 1 shill be happy to give, if requested. The Shovel has not been returned. W. It To the EDITOR of the BRI5TOI. 1AN. Si a-, Asa Journeyman Cabinet- maker, I take the liberty of replying to a statement in vour last Bristolian, respecting the payment of wages, and that respectable Employers may not be- classed among such you hi it at, I subjoin a list of such as carry on business in a regular wav. 1 mean those who do not supply the Brokers, or gpt up inferior good, i, but who . give the e- tablished prices, and some of them pay their men on Friday evening; but none later than six o'clock on Sa'urday evening: — Mr, R. . lames, Broadmead — Mr.- T. ilingstone, North- street- Mr. J.

SIR, Having rrjid in your valuable Biistolian ml last Saturday, a charge made against that large and long- established Chair and Cabinet Manu- factory, in Trenchard- sireet. in not paying the Journeymen sooner on a Saturday eveuin « , which 1 will prove to be no fault of tbe Em- ployers, as they are always in the Counting House by 6 o'clock, which has been the rule of the Establishment since its commencement— besides it is no wish of their's that the Men are detained longer than necessary; but if the people will not square up their accounts bv ihe time they an- called for the money, how is it possible to pay from forty lo fifty woik- people quickly, if the masters are so impeded. Therefore, since my brethren Chips ( for so I shall litLe myself) are so desirous of working a reformation in the Employers, I would recommend them to bej'in with themselves— first by frequenting ihe public houses less, and their homes and families tpwe, which would then enable thein to prepare their- accounts against the Saturday night, and thereby prevent that evil which they themselves have cau, od. Your's, & c., respectfully, A Journeyman in the Factory, Dcc, 9th, 1829.' THE BRISTOLIAN; To the EDITOR of THE BRISTOLIAN. " Muiic has charms to soothe the rugged breast.'' SIR, The poet never hit a line more happily than the one I have chosen by way of an em-'• bellishment to this letter— you have con-! vinced us for that you are a lover of the Drama, and your honest critiques have af- ] forded us a lesson worthy of imitation and have I hope sounded the death knell of tnat adulatory puff which is only calculated to deceive both the public and the performer. The Concert at the Assembly- Rooms, on Thursday evening, is a legitimate subject for 1 criticism, and as the newspapers in this City, have long persisted in the exclusion of all impartial observations from their columns, inserting only Editorial puffs, the greater portion of which are written - and well paid for bv the Managers or Performers. I trou- ble vou with this notice. 1 do not wish you to think, Sir, that I am about to lavish in- vective upon the present occasion. I merely advance mine as. general observations. The management of the Concert on 1 hursday, was of such nature as to render harth obser: ration unjust. i heiewas a spirit of ardour and order running throughout the whole, and evidently a decided endeavor to please on the part of the whole of the performers, not excluding the choral singers, whose ex- ertions were as strenuous as any.— These endeavors were met by a numerous and res pectable audience, with the plaudits so justly deserved, lo follow the performers through- out the whole of the Concert would be need- less, as it would be unjust to pass over in silence, many portions of it.— The band was as brilliant as any I ever remember in Bris- tol, and was led by Mr. Stansbury, in his usual style. Loder, as conductor, needs no other praise than the perfect order in which every thing was performed, and the remark- able precision as to time, with which the whole of the difficult chorusses were exe- cuted. Miss Watson's execution of the re- citative. ed aria " And God said," and " With verdure clad'," gained for her the enthusiastic plaudits of a delighted audience. " O! Lord, have mercy on me! " Mr. Rolle, was executed with that pathos and feelings so necessary to give it a proper effect. The Quartett '• Blessed is he that cometh," and the whole of the choYusses reflected the greatest credit on the performers It would b » unjust to pass over the excellent talenc displayed by Master Reed, who exhibited a knowledge of music not to have been ex- pected from a lad of his tender years. Mr. G. Turner sang a Recitative and Air of his own composition, which delighted his hear- ers. The instrumental performance of Messrs. Stansbury, Knight, Sturge, and Reed, proved to the ears of the experienced Mmusician. that Bristol is not devoid of musical talent. In short, the whole of the performances reflect the highest credit on the projector, be he whom he may. MUSICUv P. S. I would suggest to the Committee who so nobly conducted this' Concert, the propriety of establishing- two or three every winter; I have no doubt they could get enough of sub cribers to pav the expences, and let them leave the profit to the public, when there is talent Even in Bristol it will meet with encouragement.

Brother Shut e- holders, The motto at the head of this letter is pretty descriptive of " the wars and rumours of war" that have disturbed ihe tranquillity of our pro- ceedings- The faction, it is true, have " wi' logic and wi' scripture bread a fe- trfu' rupture," and it is also equally corn ct. lhat though they have the logic, scripture, and rupture, we'll have komething more substantially valuable. " WE'II have the cokn." I would wish you to under- » aud my friends, that we do not consider all who have differed from us in opinion equally . criminal— there are some,' who from an easiness of disposition, have'been ltd astray by the cious of " the logic and the scripture" of the falsehood, die " Faction." O ! that they would use the scripture in truth and sincerity, and not pervert it from its primitive purity, by making it the nie. e stalking horse of their * ile intentions, Bui to the argument— Mr. Charles Hould « n Walker had expressed his willingness lo become a Member of your Committee— this was strongly opposed by Messrs. Alloway, Tripp, Hainley, nud Essex, Why did thay object to him ? The cloven foot has displayed itself. They longed for an opp > riunity in which to introduce their friend. Mr. Li'ett, ( whom I believo to be a very honourable gentleman, but no Shareholder) as Solicitor. It was not convenient to have gra- tuitous legal- advise— besides ihey knew that Mr. W. was a talented gentleman, and they feared ihey should have no opportunity to spout forth their own conceit. " Let's have no nobs amongst us to lead tis by the nose," was the ignorant observation of the stultified Hamley— which was very natural when we consider that the admission of Mr. W. would have effectually prevented their inlroduoing a kind friend cr two o a snugjob. At this time Mr. Walker's assistance in the Committee would - have been of the greatest importance— sitting there as a Commiliee- Man we should havo had his legal advice without " fee, hire, profit, or reward," whereby the Asso- ciation might have saved many pound? money. You will perceive, then, Shareholders, how your interest has been bartered for the gratification of private friendship. During the time this opposition was raised against Mr. Walker, there was evidently an effort forming in favour of so- ne more favoured Lawyers— this was more than was- suspecled by me, and eventually ( as I have bef lie told you) I w- as not mistaken, fur it happened that the Provisional Committee needed some leg- al advice, and as Mr. Walker* was a- Shan holder in the Association and had expressed his willingness lo serve us gratuitously valuable as such service undoubtedly would have been, it was proposed that we should apply; to him, which was objected to by Messrs. Tripp, Alioway, Essex, and Hamley, and Mr. Livett proposed instead, although he wa snot a Share- holder in this Association. This opposition wa* ever- ruled by a great majority of the Provisional Committee, and treated by the more honourable Members of the Committee as an impudent and wanton insult, coupled with selfish a'td fordid motives, which must have proved dangerous in iheir result as militating against the interest of the Shareholders. It may be proper to observe, that Messrs. Tripp and Livettare both Members of Roqert Hall's Chapel, and that Mr. Tripp is under many obligations to Mr. L:< but has Mr. T. a right to serve a private fiiend at the expense and against the interest of the Associaton ? Is it not the duty of your Committee to study the interest of the Association above all other in- terests whatever? But Mr. Tripp was disap- pointed, and yet my friends, he maintained a lively hope that he should be able to accomplish his much desired purpose, arid consequently much disputation and manouvre, and withal a little " soap" was resorted to.— Mr. Hamley said he thought " Mr. Walker'as good a Lawyer as any ir> the City of Bristol, and no doubt knew more of law and legal proceedings than Mr. Liveit." Yet he [. referred the latter for some " particular reasons."— Mr. Walker was no; so religious as Mr. Livett— Mr. Alloway did not like his political principle, and therefore ob- jected to him.- In fact ihere seems to have beeti ramifications of peisoual interest and unjusir- fiable animosity extending themselves through the breasts of ( his factious union of cunning contrivers. Messrs. Tripp', Essex, and Mondey wt* re deputed to call on Mr. Walker with cer- tain agreements preparatory to the drawing up of the intended lease w ith Mr. Lancaster for his premises. Accordingly they went with heavy hearts to Mr. W.' s and uot finding him, in his ' office, elaSed with joy, they seized the happy TflE BRISTOL!

Now Mr. Eisex well knew that Mr. Walker always has a very skilful professional gentleman (. Mr. Matthews) 10 direct his business duriug his absence — a gentleman who has practised as an Attorney 25 yeais aud who is also a Share- holder, and to him therefore he ought to have applied— But no; there was an object to at ain, and in rebellious opposition to Ihe will of ihe maj iri y ot the Provisional Cammiltee, setting aside all rule and breaking kown the bairies of order— they accomplished the gratification of their improper feeling— 1 remonstrated with- thetn upon this subject repeaiedly, which re- monst ai.
