ES WS OF THE DAY. -Gold at New York, yesterday, closed at ?X. -The New York cotton market closed un? changed at 25^c; sales 2700 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed steady; uplands UXd. -The Deistlcal Congress at Naples bas already proved a dead failure. - Jenny Lind, at ber recent appearance in ber husband's oratorio of "Ruth" at Exeter HaU, .* waa received with immense applause, but tho ernies are strangely silent about her singing. Tho music of "Bath" ls said to be lacking in melody. -Associate Jus ic ; Grier wrote his letter of re? signation on the Supreme Court bench on Satur? day, bat lt has not ye: beeu placed in the hands Of the President. Ile proposes lt to take effect on the 1st of February, as during the Intermediate period he wishes to take part In the opinions con? cerning which he has been In consultation with his brother Judges. -The Paraguayan war ls nearly at on end. The allies have gained several more Important victo rles, capturing the lost Hue of defences of Lopez, and killing 2nd taking prisoners nearly four thou? sand of his army. Still, there Ls one more battle to be tonghi yet, and that is when the Count d'Eu and hi? army reach Lopez in bin last ditch, which U said to be at Ignatcrny. Tie dictator, With all Ids splendid pluck, cannot resist fate in the shape of heavier artillery, and tho next en? counter will probably end his wqnderful career. -There are now over 2000 laborers at work on the Selma, Rome and Dalton Railroad between Borne and Dalton. They have commenced laying the tract on the Rame end, and will commence on the Dalton end in a short time. It ls proposed to have the cars running through to Dalton l y the first of January, and the road will be com Dieted by tua firs: of March. The Macon aud Brunswick ROad ls completed, and UB soon ns paasenser cars arid* motive power arrive, wh'.o?i arc ixpected lu a few days, through pas seager and freight trains wai bc run betweea J Macon and Brunswick. -The large Northern dailies contain volumin* Incus accounts of thc opening of the Suez Canal, the chief particulars of which were published a month since lu cat de news. The EDglish press are still disparaging thc canal, und pronoun, e lt a fsalure. Yet, as the Tribune states lt, "M. dc Lesseps' various Intimations that his canal is not in want of funds, that his future work upon 1: wiU not impede navigation, and that, despite the yet uncoiltradicted statement that several vessels have grounded in it, thirty thousand tons have passed through'it In ten days, are guarantees of ?he sturdy enterprise with which he pursues What ls no longer a dram." ? -The Cardin* giant is now proved to bc a hum- J hug. The Syracuse Journal admits it, and feels contempt and loathing for the authors of thc fraud. It declares the proofs arc.oonclusive that Hull, the relative of Newell, who got CB?00 as his share of the proceeds ef thc sale, was the prime mover In this Impo-itlon. He, with one Jones and one Glass, wein to Fori Dodgo. iowa, in Jane, 1858, got the block or gypsum and took lt to chi? cago. It was cut there, (Glass was the sculptor;) the statue was boxed aud sent to Syracuse by Central Railroad from Burfalo, thence was taken te Union, Broome County, by rail. There Hull . took it with a four-horse*team to Newell's furm. The cost of making, inovlug and burying thc Statue was t2200. The Journal says Hull confesses the fraud, and excuses it on the plea that he must provide for bis family. -A cable dispatch Informs. U3 that certain Manchester merchants have had an interview with the Viceroy cf Egypt, and that the Viceroy bas assured them that h2 is making extensive preparation to increase the growth o' cottoil in the territory under his charge, lt is well known what Eg pt can do tu the cotton line.

At the head o? the room ls a long table, around which arc always seated a number of men engaged In the game of faro. ??OO.OW is the reputed strength of thc bank. Bankers, merchants, lawyers, artists, generals, and young men about town, are frequenters of this palace of the gamesters. Even the reverend clergy have been known to gamble there, and a once prominent general of the Union army ls a constant visitor and determined gambler. I Free Trude in Phosphates? We are loth lo believe all tho re ports which come to us from Columbia concerning the Phosphate Ring, but enough has alrea? dy been said in the public priuts to convince the General Assembly of thc necessity of acting with circumspection. It ?3 the com? mon opinion that the monopoly asked of the Legislature is worth many millions, and on all Bides is heard an expression of the hope that there will be "free trade in phos? phates," and that every raan who so desires will be allowed to dig and delve in tho river beds upon paying a fair royalty to the State. The Judiciary Committee of the Tenate re? commend that the bill now before that body be amended BO that the royalty shall be forty cents per ton instead of twenty, and that the proceeds of the mining operations shall not be exempt from taxation. This does not go down to the root of the trouble ; it allows a monopoly to be granted to the injury of the people at large. The phosphate deposits are highly valua? ble. That is certain. And the way to en? courage their development is to throw them into the market, so that all who have tho means may join in the work. The terms may be made liberal, but No MONOPOLY ! This is the demand of Charleston, and when the facts are known that demand will be echoed by every county in the State. The Sword or the ruions. The means used for attaining the final end and aim of all Trades' Unions, viz: the rais? ing of the rate of wages to tho highest prac? tical peint, are usually embodied in a codo of rules, and before proceeding further an endeavor will be made to show the way in which these rules are carried out lu tire reports of the British Royal Commissioners there is a mass of interesting information upon thi3 subject. The difficulty is to select such cases as will best illustrate the different phases of the question. The particular ex? tracts which will be given are selected rather because the facts may be stated in a small compass, rather than because they describe the most flagrant abuses ofpowerontbepart ! of the Trade Societies. The first cases which we shall select re? late to the rules enforced by the Unions against tfie employment of men who are not members of their body. Mr. Mault stated in evidence that Ute Plas? terers' Union, for example, have this rule : "That no plasterer be allowed to work In any shop more than six days without giving satis? faction to the shop steward that he isu mem? ber or will Join tho society." They compel even the sony and the brothers of master plas? terers, who are at work with theni, to Join their Union before they will allow them to proceed. Tho following aro the circumstances of a strike on the part ol the plasterers employed by Mr. Charles Howroyd, of Bradford : "on Jarruarv 7, 1SG7, Mr. Bradford received a note by mall, lu which ''tho operative plasterers of Bradford" ?rave him notice that all his sons that were working as plasterers, who wore 21 years of age, must Joiu the society before Sat? urday, or "all our men will cease work on Monday morning next and not return awaiti unless you pay ail tho expenses of the strike." Mr. Howroyd did not comply, and the men struck work. A week later MX or aoven of thc masters combined in a look-out, i. e. not to employ any Union men. This lasted live weeks, but failed to make the men glvo way. The result was that Mr. Howroyd was left without Ulasterers, and sooa after his laborers were withdrawn. Another master plasterer In Bradford, who had two brothers In his establishment, was ordered to cause them to become members of Ute Union The employer sent word thut this would bo rlouc, but was compelled ta pay an entrance fee of $2 60 for each ouc, to uv'old a strike. Instances of thc operation of the rule against the employment of non-Uuionists ' might be multiplied indefinitely. Our next extracta illustrate the mode in which au increase of wages is forced upon the employer under pressure: I A contractor at Derby agreed with his ma-1 sons to pay them 2Ss. a week during tho wir.- j ter. A month before the quarter expired they applied for au advance of ls. Cd. n week. This wa* granted upon the assurance that all would go on comfortably. Three weeks afterward the Masons'Society demanded an advanco of 2s. Cd., making 32s. a wind:, and threatened a strike. The demand was compiled with, be? cause the contractor was compelled to finish tho work within a certain lime. In Congleton, a contractor took a contract on the basis of 24s. a week for masons; and in about throe months wages were forced up SUS percent. A further rise was demauded, and as It was not given thc m?n struck. At Sheffield, no waller or builder of 6tone is allowed to take less than 33r>. a week, and In Sheffield and in Bristol lt Ls the rule that the wages ot the masons shall be fixed by the foremen and the men lu conjunction with thc employers. Tue Unions of certain towns a'so issue edicts against thc importation into their li nits of work done or material prepared in another district, and against the u :e of ma? chinery. Tho masons will not allow stons worked in another dist! let ti be brought into their own. In Bradford a ml.l was putting up In which there wa3 a Eton : staircase ol' hurd Dclphstune steps. The s.eyj wera worked at the quarry and brought to the place ready for Betting, when Ibo society gave notice that they could not be set uu uss they worereworkea by ta? society men. To urot.T a strike this was agreed to, entailing o.i the employers aa additional COSt of f. am $:/J.rj to fi 50 a step. In Ashton, a quantity Lt polished stone was not allowed to belaid until, the polished part had peen defaced, so that lt nJght be polished again by hand. At J iuckburn, the carpenters and join? ers refused to allow any machine-made woik lo bc imported from other towns. Machine made bricks were absolutely prohibited, and men who had worked at a brick machino, and the men who carted the bricks, were excluded from employment. Yet it was ad? mitted that the machi ne-mado bricks wore belter than the han i-made bricks. A few instances must bc given of the rules against lust workin j. , 'I ho Leeds bricklayers fine ls. any member Who carries moro tuan eigfu b: Icks, while et Liverpool (be rolo is to?+vc, and the usual rule is Un bricikS. Tho operativo masons br.vo str'ngent rules against what is technically known as "chas? ing," or working too fast -he Manchester Bricklayers' Association GnftJ any mau who works beyond the regular speed. There is also a goners, rule that the men shall not wal to their work in tho morning faster than three miles aa hour. Yfhen a lilli UlIIllVliUU man Ls asked to walk any distance to his work, that walking forms part of the days' labor; but in many cases every person who is employed on any job ?that'is at a distance from tho headquarters of the master, must be allowed walking time, whether lie requires U or not. We now turn to the procedure by which' the English Unions enfor ~. submission to tho laws already described, or punish those who infringe thom. The penal code is one? of great severity, and includes a series of penalties to bc levied on property or person, ranging from a small pecuniary fine to thc nc plus ultra of bodily violence. The em? ployer is punished by a fine; by a strike so timed as to cause him serious or ruinous loss; by malicious injuries to his manufac? tured materials or stock; by "shelving" his works, that is placing them under a ban in? terdicting all Unionist? from working there, and keeping off non-Unionists by "picquet "ting;" and lastly, by personal violence. Upon the recusant workmen the arm of the Union falls even more heavily. Default in paying contributions or flues is visited with 'rattening." Tho tools or other materials of the workman are taken from him and held pledged until the society is appeased and paid. If he coutinues refractory, re? course is had to acts of outrage. Hero is an abstract of a few of thc cases reported by tho Commiisioners: 1. James Linley, a sawgrinder, who kept apprentices contrary lo thc rules of the Un iou. He was shot with an air {run and wounded by Samuel Crookes. Afterward a can ol pow? der was thrown into his room, but hurt no one. Five or six weeks later he wtu shot again and mortally wounded. The men who fired .he shot were hired to do it by the secre? tary of the Union. 2. Christopher Rotherham employed men who refused to pay to the Union.- His boiler was blown up, a can of gunpowder was thrown into the house, which was badly dam? aged. A two call?n bottle lilied with powder, with a fuse attached, was then put in his ware? house adorning the rooms occupied by Ids mo? ther, sons nnu daughter. The luse became extiuguished before it reached the fire. 3. Ueore Watrldge, a non-Union man, em? ployed by Rotherham, slept in a garret with bis wife and child. In the room below slept a lodger named Bridget O'Rourke. In the night a can of gunpowder Was thrown into Mr?. O'Rourkc's room. Mrs. Watrldge mn down and seized the parcel, which exploded in lier hands, setting dre to her night dross and severely injuring her. Mrs. O'Rourke was burned to death. 4. Robert Renshaw confessed that he was hired by the Union for ?6 to throw the can of powder into thc house. Such outrages ns these can never be perpe? trated in thc United States, but it is neces? sary to show what harm unbridled Trades' Unionism has done in order to make evi? dent what good it may properly an 1 reason? ably accomplish. Having now briefly re? viewed the organization, principles an 1 practical workings of the unions, we shall proceed to consider in what light these asso? ciations ought to be viewed in relation le? the law? of political economy, it being erro? neously assumed by one class of writers that combinations of workmen which restrict, under certain self-imposed conditions, the sale of their labor, must needs be al variance with the fondamental axioms of political economy, as being opposed to Free Trade.

The reason why an Assistant United States District Attornuy for South Carolina, with a salary of 52000 a year, is absolutely necessary, may not be as obvions in Wash? ington as it is down herc.

For all this work Mr. Corbin receives only $15,000 or $20,000 a year, and it Ls ouly just and proper that ho should have an assistant, even if it be ut the ex? penso of these United States. STATT.
