      TO TETB B 5 H 0 B OP THJS 3 tOB . THEB . fr STAB . Uesbected Sib , —Permit me through , the medium of your invaluable journal to contradict & number © fg » ss falsehoods whieh appeared in ihe Blackburn Standard of November the 29 ; h , relative to the-Miners' Association recently formed in that neigh bonrhood . ..-,- ¦ Tbe Blackburn Standard in its report of the meeting of Miners recently flolden at Bacup , Etates that it was attended by delegates from Newcastle-» pon-Tyne , Wigan , St . Helen ' s , and other places ; sad that every day dnring the preceding week delegates from Tarious parts of Scotland and other places hare held meetings at Oldham , Ashton , StocV port , Bolton , Bnry . Hoehdale , and the neighboiirir $

      towns . Lodge meetings are held in various puVlic houses ; and persona are admitted by passwords ' and signs , similar to the Odd Fellows and other secret societies . It is also rumoured that there will shortly be ar general turnout of Miners throy . ghont Iduieashireaad Yorkshire ! " This , Mr . Editor , is an extract from the columns of the JMa cTcbvm Standard ; » nd it pro 783 that the person , who wrote It is possessed of ao mean capacity for what children call story-telling "; as , with the Exception of the fact of a meeting haying been ' holden at Saecp , it is one continued tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end . But is seems * from the statement abirat secret meetings , passwords , and signs , thai the-writer lias other objects in view than the

      mere gratification of his lying propensities . He ¦ wi shes to bring down upon the already much-injured Miners , not only the Yengeance of the Coal ifings , but an increase of expenditure in naying to defend themselves from a charge of conspiracy . I xxost emphatically and unequivocally declare that Delegate meetings hare not been holden every d » j ; that . there- are no -secret meetings of any description ; that there hare been no delejntesfrom Scotland ; thai there are no " signs" or rpMsworoVi ¥ nt on the contrary meetings of delesates are only holden once in each fortnight , and

      ue places where they are held are regularly ansoimeed through ibe cwlumns of the Northern S ' a » & the oaly things excluded daring the delibeiaticms of ihe delegates are intoxicating drinks . None are , prohibited from' witnessing the proceedings , provided they conduct themselves with propriety and decorum . So far from the Miners wishing to do anything secretly , they desire to give the utmost publicity to all their proceedings , in order that public feeling may be roused is their favour , and ihe whole nation become acquainted with the many acts of injustice to which themining population hare been so loDg subjected .

      the tariff trade . The effects of the Tariff , on the Provision Trade , are beginning to manifest themselves . American uhtaxed cheese , and butter , and bacon , and hams , and lard , and beef , are being brought into England , tO Compete With the English farmer ' * TAXED cheese , bacon , aud beef ! Rate way to pay the x > sbt , 5 s not it ? I It is much if it will not in the end be found so !

      And yet the " farmers , " we are told , are become converts to the doctrines of " free trade . " They have been represented as attending the meetings of Cobdeh and Co ., and giving them their " sweet voices" in favonr of measures to bring ustaxkd corn and tjwtaxkd beef , into open and active competition with English TAXED corn ; having been persuaded thai to do so toill be of advantage to the tax-pay erl

      Well ! it is a queer world that we live in : but of all queer things surely this iB the mo&t queer . It is true that the representations of Cobdbn and Co ., in the agricultural districts , have been totally different from what they hare been in the manufacturing I districts ; it is true that there another song than the j M Cheap bread" one , had to he sung , to charm" the ; poor clod-poles ; it is true that there the key-note of the harangues was , that corn would be no cheaper than it j now is : it is true all this ; but even then , taking all I this into account , one can hardly see how the uktaxed j corn of American growth ; how the employment of I American capital and American labour is to pay OUR DEBT !

      It seems , however , that we are tohy ' , a . i least as far as cheese , and bacon , and beef are concerned . Whether the Americans , in bringing their " produce" to our market , and taking away for it our gold , know that they are paying our taxes , iB a questionable matter : but one thing is certain , that they are determined to try what our market is worth . They hare Tisited it ; and with some degree of success ; enough we should suppose to induoe them to come

      again . Let the English fanner read the following account , taken from the Liverpool Times of Tiesday last . It relates to a raw teape ; one likely to be very profitable to them ! Tbey ought to be grateful to their "friend , " Free-trading Pjbh ., for so arranging it that the Americans have to aid than in paying the taxes ! Of course , they know that "Freetrade" ii " a "benefit / ' So at least Coidesand Co . say . Here is the beginning ! How will they like it f

      On Thursday last , a large sale of American aud Canadian provisions took place in Liverpool , and as thiB is altogether a new trade , aud one ohieay created by the new Tariff , it will be interesting to many of our readers to know the result . Of American cheese there were offered 7160 cases , weighing together aboat 260 tons . The quality of this cheese was in general good , but it was most of it out of condition , and did not bring more than 34 s . to 58 s . per cwt . Hot more than tbe eighth part was sold in the sale room .

      Of salt butter , principally Canadian , 240 casks were offered . It fetched * 3 b . to 55 s . per cwt . The Sk ^ ^ , R °° ' > Bn ^?« to "y * " ** butter to ^ i ?^ * * t the same price . { S ^ £ * # WWW sovl beef 2 t > 0 tierces were offered , but none were part of it has beet tto ^ JF ^ gS ?* " *** UnSS S ^ frolife ^ o lelP- ^ were as follows :-Beef , m & * £ fiftfiSSjf | i

The two American vessels are said to bring 1000 tierces of Beef , besides other kinds of provisions .

      We have alwayB been led to understand that a large "foreign trade '' , was necessary to us , to enable us to pay our own taxea ; that it was not only requisite that we should employ our own labour and capital to prodttce what vie needed for ourselves , as far as we were capable , but also that it was requisite to work over and beside to produce manufactures to sell abroad , to get money wherewith ? to pay the

      "National Creditor . " It seems , however , that we have hitherto been wrong . We should not bare employed our own labour to any suoh end . The proper way was , to let the "foreigaet" work for us , aud thua pay our taxes ! We are , therefore about to turn over a new leaf . We shall soon have no cause to complain of the burden of taxation . It can be taken off our shoulders , and put upon those of others !

      But if this new discovery be at all valuable , will it not teach ns one or two other lessons 1 If it be ununse to woilt for ourselves , and thus burden ourselves with our own taxation , is it noi more un-WI 3 E STILL 10 WORK FOR OTHERS , and thus take their bordeus upon our backs % If we are to cease producing for the Home-market , and get the Americans to grow bacon , beef , and cheese for ua , and thus pay our tares , ought we not to cease producing for the foreign market , and ease ourselves Of the taxation of "ihe world ! " These are queries whioh we ought deeply to ponder npon .

      There seems to us to be but one more requirement to perfect this scheme of ease : ease from labour , and ease from taxes : and that requirement is , the adoption of Tom . Attwood ' b inconvertible papermoney-scheme . That alone is wanted ; and then we shall be the happiest nation under the sun . At all events if we are not , we ought to be : and that will satisfy every reasonable mind . We confess that we do see difficulties in the way of working this new east scheme of " profound political economy , " with our present monetary arrangements . It will be very inconvenient and difficult to find gold to pay

      the Americans for their beef aud bacon , aud pay the renter and tax-gatherer too . But with Ton ' s scheme ; with an inconvertible paper » money with a u medium" that we can " expand " at will ; with a " currency" that we can increase ad l ibitum ; with just this addition to the Free Trade scheme , we see no end to our wealth , our power , our greatness , and our ease ! Only think of a paper-money , inconvertible into gold ! Why everything must go on swimmingly i How could it be otherwise ! Just imagine how convenvenient a mere " PROMiSB-to-pay" -on-paper will be in satisfaction of a demand , with a provision that let never shall be called upon , or compelled , to payJ Is there not greatness and power in that ?

      Could we not , under such circumstances , do as we like ! What would there be to hinder as ! The Americans would bring their beef : pay them in inconvbrtiblss 1 The tax-gatherer calls for Prince Albert ' s " allowance " and the Debt-holder ' s dividend : pay him in i . ncontektibles ! Do you owe a mortgage , or a bond debt , or a book debt , or even a debt of " honour" : pay them in inconvertiu . es I Should you ran short of them ; shonld it appear difficult to imagine how they are to come back again from America iwhen once taken ?! . ' !); should any difficulty of this sort occur , hour easy to make morel How easy to make them abound 1 What folly it would be to be short of " money" ! Why , we could make enough to buy up the world itself , if the world would let us !

      Now this , we think , would be the perfection of the M Free-Trade-ease-from-labour-at-home-Bystem . " It is all that is reqnired to make it work , after we have induced the foreigners to take our M money" aa money . Then for ease 1 Then tor plenty J Then for happiness 1 Then for a total and unconditional Repeal of the Cora Laws ; for then we could do without even the Times's fixed dxttt 1 What fools we have been to " toil and moil" for the whole world , as we hare done , when we conld get on better without working at all ! But then Englishmen are as blind as bats . Were it not so , they would have seen this long since . They had only to open their eyes , and look upon what is passing beneath their noses on every hand , and they

      would have Been this SASY-system in . full practice . They would have seen that the men % eho do not work are invariably the best to dot u What is true individually , is true nationally . " There the whole thing is 1 The nation has only to learn the secret of the easy ones , and the nation is " well to do" also ! That seceet is , to make others work for you , instead of being suoh fools as to work yourselves 1 Thia we can now accomplish . Pbkl has got the Americans ready to supply us with beef , bacon , and cheese ; Cobden has them ready to supply us with corn ; and Attwood is able to supply us with untold heaps of ( " cheap ") INCONVERTIBLE-promise-to-pay-money to buy the beef aud bacon , the cheese and corn , with . What more can we want 1 We ought to have a jubilee : for the days of humbuggery and qaackism-exe ended !

      REPUBLICANISM IN SPAIN . CAPITULATION OF THE . BRAVE BARGEtONESE . Fob a time the brave Republicans of Barcelona have had to suspend the " fight" with Legitimacy . They have had to lay down their arms , and give up the City and : defences which they have so long and so bravely kept out of the hands of ihe crew of the bloody Habvaez . "Legitimacy" has , therefore , for the moment "triumphed . " Its sway is now all but universal throughout unsuccessful Spain .

      There are but the few heroic " Insurgents , ' shot up in the Castle of Figueras , who wage open war against the u established" (!) Government . Kingcraft and Priestoraft are , therefore , once more in the ascendant . The efforts of the Republicans to cause the Governmental recognition of the " Rights of Man , " by the establishment of a Central "Junta , " chosen by the people , to draw up a Constitution , have received a check ; and it is possible that the slender f lame of liberty , still flickering , may be sought to be quenohed in the blood of the brave , made to flow in defiance of express Convention , by the heartless assertora of " Right Divine . "

      But the song of triumph" over the Republicans need not be very loud ; for it will not be very Imp ! "Legitimacy" has not made secure its foothold ! Tbe power of the Priests is not yet all-powerful . Revolutions in Spain are not at an end . It is possible , very possible , that the " established" Government , Priesthood and all , may be blown into nothingness at no very distant day . It is certain that the devotion and heroism of the Spanish Republicans is not snbdued . They have had to deliver the City of Barcelona into the hands of Sane ; but it was not

      because it had been won from them by the power of the sword . They have maintained it against all the efforts of the "Legitimist" army , r tatil waft and sheer necessity compelled them to capitulate . Thet ( jsatb sot » ee » SDBDU-ED . Their spirits are unbroken : aiid we may rest satisfied that the love of country which prompted them to take arms in the assertion of their country ' s rights against brutal faction , will again Jead to acts and deeds , which , under more favourable circumstances , may lead to a successful resnlt ! " ' i

      The Spanish Monarchy is far from being secure ! Nasvaez , with all the power of the army and police at his back , will find it difficult to prop up the throne , thongfr it be adorned with a " young Queen . " He treads on volcanic ground . The fire , though covered over , is not extinguished . AttemptB

      have been made upon his own person ; more than one effort has been vide to take his life ; and it requires the utmost vigilance of the army over the dis-armed people , to keep up even the appearance of submission to present rule . And it is no common people that the bloody Nabvaez and hia crew of oat-throats have to deal with ! They are a brave and enduring people , as the " Legitimists" have found to their cost at Barcelona . Let the reader ponder well over the following ; and ask himself if it be likely that men possessing spirit and patriotism suoh aa is here evinced , will long permit the destinies of their country to remain in the hands of the monsters who are now paramount .

      Private advices from Perpignan of the 24 th ult ., mention , that when the Junta of Barcelona agreed to capitulate , the insurgents had not more than l 40 »» . of gunpowder ifttt , and were reduced to their last # 0 dollars . Having 15 , 000 paupers , and upwards of 6 , 000 combatants to support , they deemed it impossible to prolong the defence of the city , which , from the strength of the works they had erected , would have required 50 , 000 men to carry it byetorm . The insurgents shut up in the castle of Figueras were determined to hold out to ihe last moment .

      These are the sort of men that [ are to be feared ; men who hold out to the last shot , and the . last penny : and who even then , when all their means are exhausted , have firm bearing enough to make an honourable capitulation , and effect their escape out of the hands of the faithless crew who set Conventions at nought . Rely on it , such spirits as these are not to be quieted by the means resorted to by Narvaez . M | They will meet again at Phillipi "; and possibly the result of that meeting may be the reverse of the result now .

      The correspondent of the Afomino Chronicle gives the following interesting account of the state , appearance , and oondition of the City of Barcelona when re-entered by the Government troops . From it , it will be learned that the brave defenders of tbe City against the assaults of the " Legitimists , " knew what they were about . w The measures they took to repel an attack webe perfect ; and the troops , as they entered , universally agreed , that if properly defended , they could never hav « carried the barricades , save at an immense loss of life . " " All those streets that opened oa the citadel were defended urith triple barricades , cannon proof :

      and between them deep trenches were dug , and the sewers opened . ' * " The ground floors of the houses were all filled With earth and stones , so as to resist cannon shot ; and the soldiery , exposed in the streets , and unable to protect themselves in the houses , would , in a very short time , have been cut to pieces . " Let the reader bear in mind that these " works" ; these "defences" j these M preparations" were made by an " Insurgent " people ; by the citizens of Barcelona ; by the middling and working classes . It is not of the doings of an organized army that he will read of in the following account ; but the doings of "

      Jcsurrectionista . " We always expect tbat thoBO whose trade is war , will , on all necessary occasions , take the proper means to defend themselves ; and when we hear of their forming defences within defences ; erecting barricades and forts ; making loop-boles in Barrack walls , —( as they are now doing in Ireland ) , —we do not wonder at the " works" themselves , though we may ( as in the case « f Ireland ) wonder what they are all for : but when we find a people erecting "defences" against the aggressions of tyranny ; when we find them " iriplebarricading" their streets , and opening trenches

      between the barrioades ; when we find them filling the lower rooms of their houses with earth and stones , so as to resist cannon shot ; when we find them erecting forts , that could hardly ever be taken by storm : when we find all this on THE p art OP A people % ff % iaBt their despotic and murdering rulers , and find them , too , maintaining the contest while they have any means of continuing it left : when we fiud all this , we do find something to excite , not only wonder , but great admiration ! We cannot but admiro the spirit of a people that leads them to resist tyranny , even though it be with the musket and the cannon . We cannot but

      admire the bravery of a people , that enables them to set the tyrant at defiance , and keep him at bay . And when to this we can add many instances of cool prudence and wise preparation "; the taking of measures to ensure success and prevent defeat ; our admiration must be great indeed . All this the reader will find in the subjoined account . To bis attention we commend it : — At length , after an absence of seven weeks from Barcelona , and of nearl y three months of revolution , I have been enabled , in conjunction with the world at large , to re-enter it . This happy event occurred on tbe evening of the 21 st , when the gate of

      Barceionetta was opened to , the thousands who had congregated there from an early hour . The scenes which then presented themselves were of a joyous yet affecting nature ; for families long separated were at last again united , and many were the embraces given , and tears of joy shed . With all this however , I had nothing to do , so I pushed through the crowd , and hastened to feast my eyes witk the curious aspect which the Plaza del Palaoio ( on watch the gate of Bareelonetta immediately opened ) presented ; this square , it may be remembered , was the principal scene of action , being olose to the citadel , andof course had suffered the most ; the pavement was mostly

      pulled up in order . to forid barricades , and the square was now filled with remnants of bousesfallen down , broken pillars , and rubbish of every description ; the square is very large , and is decidedly the handsomest part of Barcelona , the Customhouse the : Exchange , the Palace of the . Captain ' General , and the magnificent range of build * ings of Senor Kifre being situated round it ; all these had more or less been injured , the Custom hou » e but slightly , the Exchange severely , upwards of 200 shot and shell having completely defaced the exterior and damaged the interior . Luckily the building , being modern and entirely built of large masses

      of stone , resisted the peppering , aud remains standing , but it will ( require many thousand dollars to repair it . The Palace is much , knocked about , and a breach formed through which six men could maioh abreast ; but the chief damage has been reserved for the houses ot Senor Kifre , which present a melaneholly appearance indeed—several are entirely down , others gutted and riddled through and through ; the English consulate forms- one , and has had for its share some 30 cannon balls and grenades , while the musket balls leave scarcely the space of a shilling unmarked ; of the lamp posts and trees , nothing but the stumps remain . Turning to , the right towards

      the citadel , you come upon a deep trench , extending from the Palace to the Custom-house , several feet wide , and formed by ] opening the sewer : this would have formed a severe obstacle to the assault of the troops if they had attacked , and had not brought planks with them to cross it . A large Market-place here , aud extensive rope-vralka , retain but their names , being confounded with and levelled to the ground . A fine statue of Neptune , decorating a public fountain , has beea cut ^' n two by sr&hot . Very fine gardens ( decorated with fountain . ' , marble statues , avenues , fcc , and whioh formed a favourite promenade with the Baroelonese )

      connected the city with the citadel . Here the Patu-Iea greatly annoyed the sentinels on the walls and the cannoneers with musketry ; in consequence orders were given to oauonade them omt , and the gardens have been destroyed ; the statues are now lying broken in pieces in the waters of the fountains , the aviaries perforated have afforded an exit for their tenants , and the trees ana shrubs look as if a hurricane had swept over them : the destruction is complete . It is a great pity , for the gardens were a decided and pleasant ornament to the city . The measures taken in this portion of the eity to repel an attack from the citadel were perfect , and the

      troops , as they entered , universally agreed that , if properly defended , they could never have earned the barricades , save at an immense sacrifice Of life . All those streets that opened on the citadel were defended with triple barricades , cannon proof , and between them deep trenches were dug aud the sewers opened . The ground floors of the houses were all filled up with earth and stones , so as to resist cannon shot ; and the soldiery , thusexposod in the BtetetB and unable to protect themselves in the houses , through inability to enter them , would , in a very short time , have been out to piecefl . All the

      dwellings in this part bear evident traces of the handicraft of the citadel . Turning to the left from the Plaza del Palaoio , you proceed along the Calle Isabel and the Muralia Cor sea Walls ) , to the fort of Atarazanas , in the Calle Isabel . The city had a battery , called the battery of the Liona , from two large statues of these animals gracing the steps on mounting the sea walls . This battery was repeatedly destroyed by the fire of Mohtjuich and the citadel , but was as often repaired . The lions have long disappeared , whioh may be also said of the trees aha lamp-posts , which now show nothing but their etumps ; the heueeB * whioh form a part at ( those of

      Ki / re , feeing tHe sgnare , are greatly scarred and injured , and the windows broken by the discharges ofthe artillery . ) The Murali » , " a fine promenade on the walls fading the harbour , is literally ploughed up with shot ; the stone-seats and sentry-boxes and the houses fronting the sea greatly injured . Tbe extensive barracks on the " Baluarte Medea" are all down . At length wo reach the celebrated fort of the Atarazinaa , whioh still exists , and shews but little external damage , notwithstanding the thousands of shot hurled at it by Moutjuioh ; dad the trbopsl ever attacked the city , not their least task would have been to take this fort , which is immensely strong , and has defences within

      defences t the houses and barracks around are' much injured , and the Mint , an especial object of hate , from its never having ceased coining copper money throughout the' insurrection , has several shot and shell in it * I have now detailed the damage displayed by the I city externally . As you enter the narrow streets [ towards the 'Plaza St . Jaime' but little destruction is perceptible—not but what-it is great ; but the houses must be entered in order to ¦ mw the effects ot the shells , which ( ell in this vicinity in great ; numbers . The cathedral , several of the churches , and factories , have been struck ; but it would require a week to examine the city and form an estimate of ( the damage .. One factory I have

      entered , that of Greenhelge and Co ., has received somefthirty shots and shells , some weighing sixty and eighty pounds' weight ; luckily the machinery is uninjured , so that the loss may be repaired with £ 250 . Other factories , I conclude , save where the machinery is destroyed , have met with equal losses . All the junta have effected their escape , MaZanet included , ( who was imprisoned-by his colleagues for robbery . The principal chiefs of the Patulea and National Guards , the military and ' civil employes of tbe government ] who were compromised , either have left , or are daily leaving for France and England , not considering their persons safe here , in spito of the convention with Sasz , which has beea . and is

      being hourly broken and disregarded . Domiciliary visits are nightly made , and persons arrested by the "mizos de esguadron" ( thief-catcuerB , and mountain police , employed ! to suppress smuggling , ; and who , till now , have not been seen in Barcelona for years , owing to an agreement made with Mina , I believe ) who prowl about every where . The convention with General Sanz has bees entirely broken by the disarming of the National Guards ; it is true they created a disturbance in the night of the 21 st , by assembling and shouting for tbe Central Junta , death to Prim , and other cries ; but I have good reason to believe

      that the disturbance was purposely originated , and created through tbe instrumentality of General Schelly and other officers , who were openly opposed to the article of the Convention which guaranteed retention of their arms by the militia , and hit . upon this scheme in order to induoe General Sanz to break it . I do not know whether Sanz waa a party to it , but one thing is clear that the Convention has been entirely broken , and was intended to be so from the first . I am promised some more particular information on 'this head , which I will convey in my next . {

      "The French vessels received on board the Junta and other emigrants in the first instance ; the Belvidera afterwards received from them some thirty individuals who wished to proceed to England , and sailed for Gibraltar on the evening of the 21 st ; the Phenieien took thirty , and the Cameleon about sixty , to Port Vendres the same evening . " It was well that the Junta effected their escape . Had they not done so , the treatment they would have received at | the hands of Sanz and Prih is not difficult to be guessed at . The " Convention entered into by Sahz with the people of Barcelona , is hourly broken "II " Domicilary visits are nightly made , and persons arrested . " " The National Guards have been disarmed . " ! All this shows what Sanz and his

      cut-throats would have done , had the Junta put themselves within his [ power . They have , however , acted wisely . They have got out of bis reach . They are where they can " arrange" together again : and we may confidently ' expect that we have not seen the last revolution in Spain .

      THE LORDS OP THE MILL . It has been our fate to record many , very many , proofs of extreme SYMPATHY on the part of the-Lords of the Mill towards their well-used , muchrespected , rightly-treated workpeople . We mean " woll-oaed , " if we are to pay attention to the representation * and Belf-glorifioatiouB of the said Mill Lorda and their toadies ; and when contrasted with the oppressive conduct of the •* ¦ tyrannical , " " blood-sudking , " M bread-taxing" « Lordm > f the Soil . " We } have had the sobbing practice of Truck to expose , where the sympathising factory master has been ] so anxious to secure for the

      workmania " cheap ( oaf" — [ all for the sake of the poor /] through M fsee trade , " that he has bound his slave to trade only at his shop , and buy his loaf thirty per cent , bearer than he eould purchase it elsewhere . We have bad to shew up the " Lord Lothebdales" of the mauufacturing districts , who do not ] pay their men one shilling ( in money ) as j wages in twelve months ; but compel them to ] take cloth at 14 s . s-yard in payment of their starvation wages , even when the poor defrauded labourer has had to sell it again for 83 , to enable him Ho get food to eat ! . We have

      had to tell of the Devu ' s-Dust practices of the makers of woollen cloths , who cheat the public with their nefarious mdckt productions . We have bad to lay bare the doings of the Paste-Daubers , who sell "sow" for cottons , and " take in" the buyer . We have had to echo the almost stifled cry of complaint from the poor worked-to-death infant , who baa been used in \ the production of wealth for those who now boast that " they can bay up the Aristocracy of England" ! We have had to exhibit the whip , the strap , and the billy-roller ; to tell of the ear-pinohing ; the hair-pulling ; the suspending by

      the wrists ; the standing on one foot ; the holding up of heavy weights ; a , nd thvldipping in the water tank , clothes and all , to waken the over-wrought' child up from sleep ! while attending the spinning-frame . We have had to drag to light the thievings perpetrated under , the name oifines , where the hard-earned wages of the toiling slave is remorselessly stolen from him to swell the up-heaped mass of ill-gotten gain tbat the master calls his own . We have had to do all this , aud much more , which cannot now be enumerated , even ! in a general catalogue like this . We have had to ( expose a system 0 / tyranny more

      heavy ; of oppression more heartless ; of slavery more perfect ; of cruelty more cruel ; of thieving more despicable and thoroughly mean ; of inhumanity more barbarous ; than ever before existed on this side of Hell ! But of all ! tbat we have ever had to tell of ; of all that we have ever had to drag to light ; of all that we have ever ! had to blazon forth , the case we are now going to present to the public eye is surely the most DAMNABLE ! Were the records of the whole catalogue lof human atrocity , —perpetrated to the extent of its power ,- —to be searched from end to end , ( it would not be possible to match

      the ease that hereafter follows . It exhibits the very quintessence ! of hellish tyranny and deviliah malignity . It is impossible to conceive of any species ot lingering torture ; of any amount of excruciating suffering ; of any sort of painful death , that the MONSTROUS oppressors of the poor slave of the loom , gibbetted in the following account , would not ] have inflicted oh their victims ; had they had the ] power , and could have done it with safety to their own nccka ! The spirit of fiendishness is there : it exhibits itself as far as it thinks it can safely go !

      Let not the Lord of the Mill , or his Jack-pudding either , turn up his jnose , and gay the aoeount is a Northern Star fabrication or a Northern Star exaggeration . Let him not wipe the sweat from off his skin-tight brow or his purple-dyed nose , aud console himself with the affected belief , that nobody will notice what is stated in the blackguard" organ of the "blackguard" Chartists . Let him not so attempt to deceive himself . Folly could not be more foolish than for him so to act . The account is not

      ours . It comes to ua second-hand . It comes from the most unscrupulous advocate of the Mill Lords themselves 1 It is from the pages { of the Manchester Guardian , &nd therefore we may rest assured that not one point in it , to the disparagement or disadvantage of the MONSTERS of the Mill , is over-stated . That every Milloorat throughout the land will be prepared to stake his existence on ; and so firmly persuaded are we of the correctness of the assumption , that wa dare join them in the penalty .

      Here it is then . Hero is the record of the MONSTERS' doings . Here is a sample of Millocrats' care for the well-being and comfort of those who create the wealth that makes the MUI&cr&ts

A Hard Case . —At the Rochdale petty sessions , on Monday last ( the magistrates on the bench being Messrs . Clement Roy da , W . Chadwick . H . Kelsalf , andthaRev . Mr . Cotton ) , the case ' of Joseph Taylor , silk weaver , Middleton , against Messrs . Benneoca and Co ., calico printers and manufacturers , of Belfield , near Roohdale , for wages , & 0-, came on ; when Mr . Hunt , eolioitorj who voluntarily appeared on behalf of Taylor , taid , toe had one' of the most

      extraordinary cases to lay before the bench relative to Taylor , be ever heard of . He said the bench would recollect , that a few weeks igo , Taylor summoned his employers , the above firm , for waxes for weav ing two cuts of p inted cotton warp aud worsted weft , at 33 . M . per cut . At that time , the putterout , John Hudson , alias John Hargreavcs , had re > " used'to pay the wages on the ground that the weaver had put toomuch weft in the worklhowever , the case was referred to arbitation , and he had v to pay the money . Taylor , he said ; had another out to weave of the warp , and on account of making one of the outs too strong , he wanted worsted to weave about 7 yard ? . He had applied at the warehouse several times , and the putter-out had refused toi either sell or allow

      him any . T ^ Two witnesses stated ; thatjfhen the case had been referred . to arbitrationjiAw heard Hudson tell Taylor that he would neither allow , nor ' sell Ufa weft to finish his warp : and that he wodxd havb HIM PUNISHED IF HE JPDBCHASED 'iMT >—¦ John TuTner , a weaver in the above firm , said , he had got worsted from the putter-out for Taylor to finish the work , but theputter ^ out had ! followed hint to apufclic-house , and taken it from bint again . —Mr . Huat said , his client was unable to appear agaiast Messrs . Benecca and Co . The summons had been taken out on Wednesday last by Taylor j- but , ' on FkiOat AFTERNOON , HE WAS TAKEN BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES JlT Haslingden , and committed pobom month , ON A CHARGE OF HAVING EMBEZZLED THE VERY SAME PIECE HE HAD IN THE LOOM , WHICH HE HAD BEEN PREVENTED FROM FINISHING , OWING TO THE PUTTER-OUT . REFUSING TO ALLOW HIM WORSTED TO WE AYE IT . The Rev . Richard Durnford , rector of Middleton , said , Taylor was a hard-working' man , and he thought he had been badly used . —The magistrates replied , they had no doubt of it j and they were of opinion Messrs . Benecca aud Co . were not aware of the circumstances of the case , or they would not have acted as they had done . —The putter-out being asked why the affair had been taken to Httluigde *; replied , that it had been taken Ihereidijheinstigatim

      of the inspector of worsted and his BMPfprEBs , xne bench was of opinion the Heslingden magistrates would never have committed Taylor if they had been made thoroughly acquainted with- the case . He ( Taylor ) replied , that his friends followed his brother to Haslingaen , but on their arrival there he was committed .

      who are acquainted with the whole of the circumstances connected with Taylor , thought it one of the hardest cases that had ever come before them , aad gave orders to Mr .

      THE OASTLER LIBERTY FUND . The work progresses bravely . Our pages this week abundantly testify to that fact . The chord has been struck at last . Oastler will be free » from his unjust confinement ; and greater scope will be given to his powers of doing good . There is by far too little honesty in the world ; and we certainly cannot afford to bury one of the best portion ' s that we have in a dungeon . It is there now I Tho people have the key : they are now unlocking the door .

      Next week Lancashire begins . The commencement is at Manchester . Let that commencement ; bo a good one I But why urge the Lancashire men to their duty ! When were they ever behind ?

Let the call made upon the men of Manchester be well responded to . To the People of Lancashire , Cheshire , and Derbyshire .

      The Central Committee , appointed ( for the time being ) for the purpose of raising the " Oastler Liberty Fund" within these counties , have to announce that they have determined on holding a public meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler , at the Corn Exchange , in Manchester , on Thursday , the 14 th instant , at half-past seven o ' clock , precisely , in the evening , to take into consideration the best means of raising tbe fund and t » appoint a permanent Committee , and make all other necessary arrangements for that purpose . The Committee feel that , having taken upon thea to call this publio meeting without the preparation and means of excitement usually resorted to on eu « h coMiona . they have fairly placed Mr . Oaatler ' i

      cause in the hands of those who are his friends , ait the friends of suoh as he is , so far as that came depends on this district of the country . On tn « attendance that is to be given at the meeting in the Corn Exchange , and on the exertion—the willing and voluntary exertions ^ that are to be afterwards made , will depend the question whether or not th « people of Lancashire , Cheshire , and Derbyshire are to be deemed tile ; equals of those good men in YorKshire who are now doing immortal honour to thea-Belves and their country by their most sneeessnu efforts in this cause ; or whether they shall M henceforth branded as a more than commonly degenerate race , haying neither the patriotism of tneir forefathers , nor the liberality of their contemporaries .
