      on the part of tho men was one of commoti justice , namely , that they should be paid the same rate ^ of prices us were paid in the t > eigtibouring colliery districts . The asent accepted the proposition , -. aa ' il ou the 23 rd or 24 tli of August last , the men were allowed to return to their employment , aud so friebdly wastherecoudUation , that allthe colk ' orsweretreated and regaled with bread and cheese aad alo . The agent promised to relinquish all hostile- proceedings ; and to accede 10 the request of the mea to the fulTeit extent . A meeting then took place , and the following resolution or agreement was Bigued and adopted by between 300 and 400 colliers , and Mr . Ashworth , and attested by two under-agents , Messrs .- Baiii and T . J . Smith : — "Tliat at the expiration of ouo

      month from this day , the Poynton ' wages shall commence and be paid after the Bame average rate as all the _ other .. collierios may then pay within this coal district . This . information to bo ascertained and calculated by the number of hours' labour daily performed , and the amount of wages earned , by the average of ten colliers _ working in each coUiery , jvithin tho district of this colliery and market . » Aiid if any colHor or workman ,-at the expiration of the one inpntli , shall not be satisfied -vvith iho next list of waged , he shall then bo at liberty , Thy giving , or receiving fourteen days' udticev to quit his employment . ' In order to procure an lioneak average , . each party were to obtain the required information ; and thus both interests would , by beinir checked , bo

      rcpreeented . ] n this district thero appears "' 'to- be oaiy f-s' « nty-two collieries , so that tho averagoa were got earlier than was at Hrst imagined , tho result of which was really so flattering to these hitherto ill-paid artisans , that they looked forward to bright aud happy days , a contented firerside , a woll-fed und comfortable family , and : the improbability of any turn-out upon these extensive estates . They liad onl y received 43 . for tea and twelro hours' work ; whilst the averages just obtained , showed a sum ol -is . 5 ^ d . for eigh t hours ' , labour . This at oiice justified them in their turn-out . Ou Thursday last , the agent and the colliers met for the purpose of arranging the new list of wages , and tho delegates ot the latter handed iu twenty-two statements ot

      prices paid at the respective collieries , and duly sigued Dy the proprietors or agents , tho average of wliich , as we have before hinted , was 4 s . " 5 Jd . Mr . Ashworth , finding that the figure exceeded his expectations , disputed its accuracy , and liaudcd in his libtsfrom the twenty-two collieries in tlio district , showing the average tp be only 3 s . 8 d ., considerably bclvvv the old prices . The deputation , ou examiuiug the lists , found that some of them v . ' erc uot signed , others nad the appearance of having been improperly obtained—whilst some had been signed by incomptto :: t persons . Under these circumstances they complxiiicd that tho 3 s . 8 d . had been calculated npon . inadmissible documents , and , consequently , the cbUicri' average was the true one ; and , if . Mr . Ashworth complied with the terms of hus owi !

The tnon , seeing their hopes ; thu 3 blasted , endeavoured to roconcilo the ditferciice in tho two lists , but the agent spurned all thtir approaches , aud . treated their applications with contempt . On Saturday last , betwien three

      ana tour hundred of them wore- .. dLscbargoil at a moment ' s notice , a double violation of the agreement , which specifies that fourteen days' notice shall bo given and roceived . The -engineers , . who . had worked during the tur ^ -out , became so ' -indignant , at the oppressive conduct " of their employers , that , fur tho purpose of manifesiing tlieir sympathy for tliLLCpoor colliers , " who aro " more sinned against than sinning , " and to prevent any ' partial . working- '' ofthe puj . on"their accouut . have actually . stfUvk .

      Newport , Monmouthshire , Sept . 24 th , 1 !] 39 . V Mt Yowng Friends , —Our frieudy Mr . O'Connor * has cent ^ rith the Northern Star of this wcok , my Portrait , and ho has requested that it should bo accompanied with a short memoir of myself . I comply ivith his wishes , not so much " with , a view to obtain dotoriety , as ironi a , hope that I may induce : some young men of our order to improve

      their natural tal « uts ; to eiideayour to fit themselves to take tho lead in pnblic matters . I have long been persuaded that our country- ' willknow neithar peace r . or prosperity until the House of Commons be filled with paen from p-ir rar . ks in life . Can we expect men to legislatb . honestly , Vfliosa interests are opposed to those of the people ? The interests of tho aristocracy are in direct opposition to those of the working claasos . Our law-givers considor that power as private property ; and they exercise it vvith a view to their own advantage , completely regardless of moral obliMtioii ? . ¦ '

      . notion of hio rights ; if instead of looking for pbodifone ' e " oitthepart of the agent , ho looks on the agent as -a master ; if the agent , instead of considerihg the authority vrhich he holds a : delegated one , and that he . oiight to b 6 TespbitBible for its : exercisoj fancies himself . '' the master , and that his prerogative ia to command , not t © obey , the concern willneror prosper , whether it be a commercial establishment or a . nation , for , aa the wisest of men Baidy"the earth is disgusted when a servant ruleth . " Constant submission op the part of the principal is sure to produce certain consequences . The agent betrays

      the trust confided to lum ; he faucies the delegated authority a right , and ho exercises it for his owi advantage , and to tbe injury of the persons by whom he is employed . This is proted by the opinions heild and promulgated by bur ; lawrgivers ; this la proved by their practicei Their language ; is that of petsons who admit of no limitation to their authority . They call themselves omnipotent ; the omnipotence of Parliament . The idea of delegated authority , received from others , to be exercised for the benefit of tlioae who confer , is laughed ' at by our lawgivers . The language of the . people fends

      greatly to create and to perpetuate these erroneous notions . The language the people use is that of inferiors to superiors . The people . approach their agents with abject submission . Their petitions are couched in language that ought not to b « used froin one man to another , much less from principals-. to . : agont 3 . If our language be not sufficiently submissive ,. the pctitiou , however just and wispy is rejected , because the language dpesuot carry with it that inferiority which must appear on the face of the petition to induce the Members of Parliament to hear even the petition read . .

      Ho ) v strikingly was all tliis exemplified in the conduct of tlie Marquis of JJormanbt ; His Lordfihip fills the office of Secretary of Statp for tho Home . Department , receiving , in all proVapilityVsix thousand a year ; this money arising from the labours of the people . Is there no duty attached to this office ! Should there bo iio value for tliis imuiensefium of moneyI A resolution -was passed some time ago , at a very large meeting in South "Wales ; this rssolution was to the effect , that the meeting believed that Messrs . \' incest , and Others confined in Mpiimouth Gaol , for attending what is

      called an illegal meeting , deserved commendation , and not punishment . The meeting solicited the Secretary of State to apply to her Majesty to discharge these prisoners from Mpiimouth' Gaol . His Lordship said . that ho would not present the resolution , nor would he apply to her Majesty to discharge the prisoners , and yet I have no doubt that his Lordship will receive his next quarter's salary although he refused to perform a duty flpper ^ taining to his office J ! What sort of a notion must his Lordship have of his office 1 Does his Lordship believe . that the power he holds should be exercised

      for the benefit of the people 1 Oh , no !! TJie Noblb Marquis looks upon the people aa his inferiors , as men who should be governed by force and not by reason ; and this opinion influences his conduct whether as a Member of Parliaracnti or as a Secretary of Statp . ¦ " ' We heard a great d < sal lately , in the di 3 pnto between the Membora of the House of Gommona and the Court of Queen ' s Bench , about the privilege of Parliament . Now , my young Chartists , ask youtsolves what privileges , can agents possess which they do not derive from those who employ them ? Can agents have privileges and those too winch tend to destroy the power of the principals ? What is rneaht

      by privilege ? It is the power to do , or to refrain from doing !! If it is to do . anything injurious to thoso who employ them , ought such a power to be possessed by those who owe their authority to parties who will be injured by tho exercise of this - priviloge ? If it is to refrain from doing , ought such a povyer to bo possessed , arid to be pleaded , by agents as a justification for the neglect of their duty If Members of the House of Commons entertained just notions of their duties . las persons eiitrusted with authority , they would iipt haS-e talked of possessing privileges , the exercise of which would tend to destroy tho power of those from \ fhoin they receive authority .

      Previously to the year 1818 , I knew nothing of politics ; I thought our Government the envy and admiration of the world ; and my Welch blood was always quickened initsCircuktisn when I hear j any one speak disrespectfully of our rulers . I had read nothing .. ' I knew iiothhig of selling of seats iu the Houso of Commons . I was not aware of the existeiice of Gatton and Old Sarum , and such places . We had two Conservative und powerful families in the Cotmty of Moniiiouth—the Duko of Beaufort and Sir CHAnLES Mohgax ; and I was , in the cant phrase of the day , both as a freeholder and as a burgess , in the interest of Sir Charles Morgan

      that meautr-that . -I was ready to vote as Sir Charles Jior . OAN directed me . Those men possess enormous Estates in the county : for more than a hundred , yeara did these families put in wliom they pleased for the counties and for the boroiiglis . If public . meetings were called , not a man would presumei to speak a word unless ho was well aware that it would not displease both of these faniUies . Now ^ my youn g Chartists , these two- families ,, united , would ;' not dare to call a public jaeetinj ; to express any opinion as to the mode of ' governing , the country . Tliis is something , however ; and I am convinced that Moiimouthshire is not a solitai-y example of such a ehaiige .

      Ono of tho most pleasing features in the present movement is , that men from the middlo and working classes take the lead in public meetings . The two factious appear before tho people in their true colour , ; and , what is still more pleasing , tliey will until ; their power bo destroyed , always appear in their true colours . The days of humbug are orer It is now a question of force . The factions rule , as Nicholas of Russia rujes ,. by club \ m—they answer arguments by the bludgeon and the bayonet .

      , M £ paper is fu-lh I must , for tlie present , close . But I would ask you one question , aud that appears to mo tv bo an important one : —Have youw my youu" ' j nfliids ,. B . pon any accounts of forged " Bank of ' Enj ? laiid [ Autos incirculation T It is reported that notes ot this ctescriptiou are extensively circulated iii some districts Policemen are of no use in a case like this !

      The Bastardt Laws agai ^—Conoeaukg tug BiitTu op a Child . —On Saturday , an inquest was neld at Congleton , before Johh ; HflUing , E ^ q ., on l ) : o body of a foraale child . l-Vom the , 0 videnee of the several witnessps , it appeared that a single woman , named Mary Ilanipson , having been subjected to the suspicion of her neighbours , on accountof a ^ suddcu change in her appearance , was

      induced to go , in company with two other women , before a surgeon , for the purpose of procuving his attestation that she had not given birth to a cfiild . The result of the examinatioi ) , however , proved that she had borne a . cliild , and she then admitted . tliat . the child , which had been bome some days , previously in the privy , was theii in a box at the libuso Ihe surgeon had oxamined the cliild , but putrefaction having : taken place , he Was unablo from tho appearances to giyo » decided opinion as to its having been born ahve , or otherwise . It is rather larger than the usual size , and appears to have beehtnii gro > VB , the nails , &c . ' , ' being-: perfect . ;¦• The navel string was torn throe or four inches from the body . Mary coijfeased to the child-birth , and adniittcd having prepared some linen for it . Thisbeing the whole of the evidence , the Coroner , in his direction

      to tho jury , alluded particularly to tlie absence of positive evidence as to the cause of tho death of tho child . Tho surgeon not being able to swear that it was born -alive , ' tho . charge oi \ infanticide was not established ; therefore , the Coroner ' s-Court had rio jurisdiction in casei of concealing the birth . of a cliild , that being a misdenieanour-Hiheir competency only extending to tlio cominittal of parties for trial on charges of felony . The mother must , under thoso circiinistancos , bo deliverod over to the magistrates , beforo Wliom tho cxaininatioii 3 must bo taken for concealing tho birth of hor illegitimate child . The jury rcttiruccl a verdict accordinglyv and by virtue of an instrument- drawn up by the Coroner , Mary llampsQii ,. the mother , was given in chai ' ge of the police . She has " since : been fully committed , to Knutsford for trial .

      Dhbadvul Accmr . Nt , —Ou Friday afternoonvas a pamter named George Green , residing in Veriionstrce . t ,. in this towji , was paiutiiig the coriiice of a throe story house , the White Hart , in the Ches . tergate , a carter of the liamo of John Ilill , boi ' ug somewhat iu liquor , incautiously drove liis cart SO closo to the jiiufb-sfono , as to come in contact with the ladder , at i : iu -top . of ' which the paiiitcr waa working , lhc 1 consequence was , tliat Green was precipitated fo tlio pavement : inhis pa . ^ . wgc down , hisfaecstruck against one of tho stouo windows sills of the second story , ' - . which jilinost -juthis hose away , ; drovehis face inwards , broke tlio -upper jaw , aiid tore off the bottom lip ; and , thai although this cuxuffistaueo had a tendency to interrupt the velocity . of-tlio fall , yet , when

      he . was picked up it . was found that his right knee was must droadi ' ully . sniashed ^ tho thigh was shattered ; and the left log also presented a compound fracture . The unfortunate man was a frightful spectacle ; and was quite insensible . He was conveyed to lhc Infirmary , and as soon as convenient it was suggested to him the propriety of amputating the right leg , a recovery , without , acceding to siich an cxtvoniity , biing iioxt to iinpossiblo ; whilst if he cout sented , tho human probabilities were , being in the prime Of life , tliat he might survive the accident .--Grcen , however , decliiied Xo submit . . to" . tlic operation and preferred death , rather than life with the loss 0 a limb , . lie : appears to have sustained a variety ot

      other external and internal injuries . ' -All-hopes of recovery being . given up , thedi'iverotVthe cart , jahii Hill , was takoii into custody , to await , in case of deaths tho verdict of a '' . Coroner ' s , Jury , which must bo that of manslaughter ; and he is now conlined in " Sadler ' s Wolls . ' ^ aviug been remanded from time to time by the borough magietrates . Fortunately , Greeni ' a not married ; nor has ho : any . children ' -to lament his . loss—for , before thisrparagraph reaGlies tho eyo of bur readers , the poor tjsllbw will , in all probability bo dead , as he ( although he . has constaatly been in tho most hidcscribable agony , ) sturdily refuses to listen : to tho proposition * of the iuig « onfl to amputate the right leg .
