      retain the doubt" still , Mr . Pbati ! Yon know that you have certifed them to be " in accordance -with law ; " therefore , there can mow be no donbt . ' It is all eertain ; stjbb ; complete . Else , what ' s the use Of jon , or your certificate either ? But- while Twd Piun tells us of his doubt , " he does not tell ua what caused that " doubt . " He does not iay » hat the natnre of the Joubt" was . We can , therefore , onlj judge from the facts he has furnished us with . He did certify that the rules , which he once " doubted , " are " in accordance with law . " Another code of rules , preciselj amilar in all particulars , with the single exception that the

      one , the certified one , enjoin aud enforces Comjmumy of property , while the other provides for individual possession ; a code of rules , precisely Similar in every respect , with this one exception , has l * en laid before him ; and he refuses his certificate on the ground that the " objects and means" do not come within the meaning of the Acif . It is , therefore , impossible to come to other conclusion than that Mr . Tidd Pbatt deems the holding of property in common as the only LAVsrm . principle of possession !! His * donbt" could only be , that is would be unlawful for a number of men to combine to procure for themselves , individually , by united subscriptions , a portien of the toil : but that " doubt "

      was removed when he saw that the property they could by such means acquire wonld be holden in common , and f *? common use . This at once xexnoTed the " doubt . " Other people , not yet convinced that Communism is the most perfec ; embodyment of " first principles " , and thinking that they can secure Jo themselves great benefits from the possession of property by individnal members ; -property purchased by united subscriptions , seek for the ! ' 1

      fboiectiok already given to cojqiumsts ; and they are refused , Mr . Tidd Pratt ( who has given ihe Communists ' protection j , being of » opinion" that their " objects do not come within the meaning of the Law ! " "What & premium is here held out for men io become Communists ! " Do this , " says Tidd Pbatt , " and I win give you ihe Protection of ihe Law . " « Do rr sot , " says the same official , " axd 3 Will WITHHOLD THAT PfiOIECTloV « " ' ? 3

      But there is another point . H 13 " attention has been called to the S 9 rh Geo . III . c . 79 , and the 57 th Geo . III ., o . 19 , -which provides that every society , except of a religious ^ t CHABiiABiEnature only , which shall be composed of diS , rent divisions or branches , < &c . ttc ^ shall be deemed and taken for an unlawful combination and confederacy , " Well , here is the whole matter . Our ' 3 is a society for Mtocai 1 s ^ I L

      Besxfit . It provides machinery for securing that Benefit to every one ^ of its members . That Benefit is , the purchase and occupation of Land , whereon to employ themselves , for the support of themselves and their families . Is not this a chabitablz object ? Could there be one more charitable 1 Thejpeople are starving . They -are unemploy ed . Those whoihsve employment , have not wages sufficient to purchase for themselves the j

      merest necessaries of life . A society is ~ here organizsd , which will e * ablo thes&men , so circumstanced to become placed in an isdepesdest position , pro-Tiding for them employment , and a field en which to exercise theirindustry . What could be more chabixable ! Besides this , Benefit Societies have always been held to be societies organized for charitable purposes . Is ours a Benefit Society i To have refused the enrolment , Tidd Pratt should have " Bhown that there is no Bekefit connected with it . This he cannot do ; and , therefore , he was bound to enrol h , as a charitable society , had he fulfilled the requirements of the law .

      At all events there is laslTnuch ] Bekefit in our Society , as in the Society Tidd Peatt has already enrolled ? unless indeed ho deem 3 Community oj Property to be the greatest benefit of all . And that society is a society ** composed of different divisions and branches , acting separately and distinct from each other . " All this Mr . Tidd Pbatt has certified to be ** in accordance with law z" therefore the Acts he has referred us to . will not help him out of the mess . But then he has refused to certify . What are the next steps to take I The act lOih George IT ., c 55 , section 5 , pro-Tides : —

      " In case any such barrister or advocate shall refuas to certify all or any of the rules k > to De submitted for &u perusal and examination , it shall then be lawful I lot an ; such socieJy to submit the same to the court ¦ of quarter sessions , together with the reasons assigned , t > J the said barrister or advocate , in writing , for any each rejection or disapproval of any one or mare such > Tales ; and that the justices at their said quarter sessions shall and may , if they think fit , confirm and allow the same , notwithstanding any rath rejection or disapproval by any men barrister or advocate . " '

      In coanection with thh clause , which we have ! quoted from Mr . Tidd Pkatt ' s own edition of" The \ Law relating to Benefit Societies , " there 1 b a foot-: note from the pen of Mr . Tidd . Pratt himself , which says : — "By the previous clause , the barrister , 4 c , is to point out in what part , if any . the rules submitted to him are in his opinion repugnant to law , 4 c- ; and the ! provisions of tins section are intended to give the so- j ciety an appeal to the sessions against his refusal to j certify . " I

      Here , tlen , is a power of appeal given . That j pow * r will be exercised . At the next Quarter Ses- j sioB 3 the appeal will be made ; and if it should ¦ happen to beiunsuccessful there , —a contingency not ! Tery lik-dy to happen , —application will be made to the i Court vt Queen ' s Bench ior a Marulamus , to compel Mr . Tidd Pratt to do his duty . And if the affair ; should go so far as that , there cannot be two opinions : as to the result . Tne Court will only need to be j shewn that Tidd Tbatt has refused to do for ua j what he has dene for others ; and the partiality of j his actions will , no doubt , be visiud with heavy j judicial censure .

      But what is to be done in the meantime ! Are we io stand still 1 Are we to allow timid fears to deter 1 cs from all action I Ara we to conjure up every j unlikely difficulty ; and fancy every imaginable array I of opposition 1 Are we to try to alarm , where no alarm seed exist J or are we to try io go unitedly io weik , to make the best of the circumstances in which we find ourselves p aced 1 Are we to sit scotching each other , and trying to catch at words , for the purpose of thwarting ihe great object all profess to have at heart ! or arc we to lend every aid in a kind and friendly manner , to overcome the obstacles thrown in our path !

      Should wenot imitate the conduct of our Executive ? They have looked at the position in which we are ' placed . They have determined on action ; but otiil action in accordance irith late . This c \ s be dose . This must be done : and when the enrolment is obtained irom the Courts of Law , then we shall be ready to bring into full operation . all the pass ef our Beneficial Plan . Here is the address of the . Executive : — j THE XSiCCTlVE COHJilTTEX TO THE CHAKT 1 STS . 1

      MEETING AT ST . HELEN'S . The Liverpool Times of Tuesday contains a report of a large meeting of Colliers , beld the previous day ( Monday last ) , at St Helen ' s . From it we extract the following : — The place of meeting was the Moor Flat , and although the -Kvatber was ts ' rerflely unfavourable for an optn-air meeticg . there -were present from 1 , 500 to 2 000 persons .

      tion which would be proposed was to the folio-wing effect : — "That it is the opinion of this meeting that the present rate of wages is not sufficient to maintain the collUrs and their families . " Mr . Bebrt then addressed the meeting . He said that he need eniy aak the publio to look at the Miners ' cheeks , to convince them that the rate « f wages was not sufficient At tbe present time , the rate in that district was about 2 s . a day . and how was a man to maintain himself , a wife , and four or five children on that ? - '

      Yet for that small sum they had to work from twelve to fourteen hours a day in the Bunleas mine . Were they not , he would ask , worse off than the African slave ? They were , and tbe question was , how this evil was to be remedied . They had already tried their sectional unions and partial strikes , and thoBe had done no good ; and they must , therefore , as the only effectual remedy , join the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland . They would extend their union from John o'Groat ' s bouse to the farthest end of Cornwall , and into Wales and Ireland .

      The Chaibman , after a few observations on the hard toil of the miners , and on the manner in which they were oppressed , said that the second resolution was , " That in the opinion of this meeting , the miner is entitled to a fair day ' s wages for a bard day ' s work . " Mr . Henby Bublet then addressed the meeting at considerable length . He said that a person who had never before been in tbe county of Lancaster would , on entering it , see at once that it was a great mining and manufacturing county ; and he need hardly tell the meeting that its vast commerce and iti manufactures were almost all carried on through the medium of coal works . Was it not right , therefore , that those men who -were employed in getting from the bowels of the earth so valuable an article , an article adding to the wealth and cemfort of mankind , should themselves bb comfortable and happy ? To say the least of it .

      they ought to have a living for their labour . The speaker proceeded at length to illustrate his subject by particular cases , and asserted that tbe masters who were determined to obtain custom by low prices at firBt resorted to the method of substituting , without notice to the men , tubs that contained much more than the stipulated quantity . When the men detected the imposit ion , they grumbled , but qaietly submitted , thinking that by tasking their energies , and working an hour or two additional , they might still realize the same amount or wages . : In time , however , the other masters followed in the race of competition ; they reduced priees ¦ and then those who had taken the lead reduced tbe rate of wages , to enable them tw make a still further reduction in the price . Thus , wjtbout there being , as the speaker contended , any necessity for this competition , which he attributed solely to the desire of tbe smaller capitalists to secure as great a return for their money as the larger capitalista , -wages had been reduced , until the

      miners were now earning , in many places , little more than a penny an hour for their heavy labour In the sunless mine . . This system had eventually been found to be prejudicial , not only to the employers and to tbe employed , but to the shopkeepers and others dependant on the working classes . The only remedy for this , the only means of raising ihe wretched , oppressed , and miserable miner from his present condition , was , as he had before stated , to join the union , * shich was now progressing at a railroad speed . t M J ; J K 0 ? aPS 0 N - NeWcastle ' was the next speaker , in 1831 , he said , it was supposed by the employers in the north country that their collier , were working to the utmoststretch of their physical powers , in a reasonable way . and they agreed to give what they considered a fair rate of remuneration . The men accepted it but in the courao of the year they found out that , tfee tuba which ought only to have contained 20 pecks , contained on the average 27 pecks , and that when they wrouaht by ht instead of

      we ^ measure , they were getting 7 ewt inatead of 6 . J . This , it would be at once seen ! would make a considerable difference in a year , when thvre was 45 000 men employed . In one instance , however , it was found that a tub -would contain 41 instead of 20 pecks . The consequence was that the miners employed a man at 18 s . a-week . to see that the coals were properly weighed , and after paying his wages , the men at that one colliery wer « clear gainers to the extent of £ 95 In another . coUiery , however , the injustice was not remedied nntil tbe men struck , and even after that some new tubs , which were represented as fair , were foisted on the men . Instead , however , of containing 20 pecks they contained 30 . — . Cries of » Shame . " ) Tbe speaker after deprecating local strikes and local unions , proceeded to say , —The miners must therefore co-operate throughout ths whole of the coal dis tricts in Great Britain and Ireland . They would enter into a bond and this must extend the len gth and breadth of the

      empire , bo that there might be an underatandin * between all the working colliers , and that they might all struggle together , at the same time , in England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales . But they did not want to strike . Strikes were bad things ; they were evil things ; they were considered Injurious both to the employer and tbe employed . By the present rate of remuneration , however , they were clamming to death ; and he thought it was much better to clam to death in a state of idleness than in a state of hard and unpaid labour in their pita—( cheers ) . They asked for a fair remuneration . If the masters granted It they would not striks ; but if they would not secede to it they ( the men ) should be compelled t « strike , and that would be a dire consequence , in the present state of the empire .

      It was then stated that delegates were to be elected for St . Helens , to attend the National Conference of the Colliers , at Newcastle , on the 3 rd of November ; bnt , > n consequence of tbe heavy rain , it was agreed that the election should be made at tbe meeting of delegates from all tbe colleries in the neighbourhood which was to take place immediately after the close of tbe public meeting . The meeting , which was throufihont marked by great order and decorum , concluded shortly before one o clock . None of the persons present setmed to be aware of the fact that the proprietors and workers of tbe coal mines in the neighbourhood of St . Helens have not only agreed to raise the price of coals from 5 « . to 5 s . lOd . per ton . but that they hate in a circular given notice to that effect to their customera .

      [ We learn from our correspondent tbat the meeting unanimously passed a vote of thanks to tha Proprietor and Editor of this paper , for their advocacy of the Colliers' rights .

      Mr . Roberts next addressed the delegates respecting the duty of the Executive Council , in which he showed their utility in nettling such matters as nvgntbe found inconvenient for the whole body to settle , and the necessity of choosing such of their numbers to that responsible office as could be relied upon for discretien and attachment , to the cause of Union . Ihe addreas had a good effect ; after which the delegates adjourned an hour for dinner . FRIDAY AFTERNOON SITTING . The Chairman having resumed the chair , Mr .

That the conduct of the Thornley Committee is highly censurable in their

      late attempts Xo frustrate the arrang <> mentd of the last meeting of Delegates , and that J .

      LATEST NEWS . ( From the Chronicle of Thursday ,. ) PROSECUTIONS—BUMOURED ARREST OF MR . OCONNELL . Dublin , Tuesday . The town was to-day alive with rumours ^ -originated by the Orange party—that Mr . O'Connell i ad been arrested ; according to one account , that he v bad received a communication from the head police office , requiring his attendance , in order to give bail to answer a charge of sedition . I saw Mr . O-Connell at three o ' clock thi 3 afternoon , and afc that hour , certainly , he had received no such communication . Indeed , I am couvinoed that the rumours regarding his arrest are mere inventions .

      For the reports about Government prosecutions , there is , 1 have reason to believe , some ground . A number of such prosecutions , it is Btated ,. have been determined upon . According to the information which has reached me , indictments for sedition have been prk pared against Mr . O'Connell , amongst others , and there are also to be prosecutions agaiast some of tbe newspapers . I have heard that drafts of the indietjuputs have been forwarded from Dublin Castle to the tlomt ) office in London , as the Government at the other side have determined that no important step shall be taken in Ireland without tieir direct sanction . Indeed , it is well known here , and it is adra tturi by the Dublin Enening Maii / , that Lord Di : Grey brought over the draft of a proclamation against the Clontarf meeting , prepard by Sir Wm . Follett . ( From the Times of Thursday . J Dublin Tuesday .

      I mentioned in my communication of yesterday that the excitement ( . botfi natural and national ) consequeat on the events of tho previoas three days was gradually wearing itself out , and that this consummation had been hastened by th © downcast tone of Mr . u Connell ' s speech at the Uejwal Association yesterday-a speechr which ,, taken in conjunction with his brief reiaarks on Saturday , entreating obedience to the HoyaL Proclamation , has , I am a s sured , caused some surprise , if not regret , among the more ardent , perhaps more aoaestdisoiples of ( |

      THE CUMBERLAND MINERS TO THEIR BRETHREN IN GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . Friends andjBrethuen , —Since I last addressed you on the condition of the miners of Cumberland , circumstances of a { most painful nature have transpired . In consequence of the sma ll sum sent by the miners of the Wear and Tyne many of those who were firm to the cause of Union were necesBariiy compelled to sigu the test of John Peile , to save themselves and fa-nilies from starvation ; j nnd I may say . that thia would not have been the case had relief equivalent to tbe wants of the men Leen gent . We trust you will yet exert yourselves in our behalf . We return thantfs to the men of Lancashire for the means they have taken to relieve as .
