      THE"KEBEOCA" MOVEMENT SOUTH WAXES . I Iromosrotm Correspondent . J Caxkabthbx . Having again taken a journey , pmaeyh the territoriea vhere Rebecca" holds nn-Jimited contronl , I ha r , e Been a number of the traces of her prowess , and an >_ eomegnenQj better able to famish ^ onr leaders ^ vift , a correct account of her doings for the week . On my arrival at the Pontaridulais gate , the scene of ' the late skirmish , I fonod it guarded by Jour aimed collectors , commanded by Mr . Bollen , the | lessee , In person . The gate had been replaced by a j temporary substitute , whilst the toll-house had under- J gone a thorough repair . A printed bill replaced the ! board "which 1 b ¦ wont in some eases to be suspended ir iront of the toll-house , such bills seemingly boing i « ' jeady for sueh emergencies , as the name of the ^ ** ¦ was merely pencilled on the top . Four loade d **~

Prior to their departure , ho ^ CTer , the gate was thrown open to evaj passer-by , tad no one was-left to ask any ^ wstions .

      1 Btjoiurned for a time at Qie Bed JJon , and there -ascertained that tin report of the » ffi «» between the Voters and tbe pdice in " the Northern Star , was the only correct one which as yet has appeared ; in so far as the great body of the rioters were gone , prior -to the police making the attack . One thing , however , bothered me sot a little ; and that was , why they should depart without finishing their job . I am now , I think , able to supply the deficiency . It Beems then that scouts iKonght up word that a body of soldiers were at the 6 wQlygcfe ; and as the rioters had bo wish to come into collision with the regulars , the principal part of them moved » p the hill , on the road to Carmarthen , firing their guns and blowing their horns in order to lead the soldiers on a false scent , whilst the few whom they bad

      left behind should fl" *»>< the work -which was already adracst completed . A feeling of general exasperation exists in the minds of the people against the police ; « nd even those who have no sympathy-with the 'Becca movement are loud in their condemnation of the tactics -d Captain Napier , They state that they bad hitherto considered that a policeman's duty consisted " vnp'erenl in ? any breach of the law from occurring , and not in shooting and slashing a mob after the outrage bad taken place ; yet in the present instance , the police lay limiting behind a hedge , while they knew a felony was "being committed within a hundred yards of them ,

      "which it was certainly their duty to prevent . From all "that I can learn , and I have left no stone unturned , to ascertain the trnth , there seems to be ne doubt also that the police were the first who fired ; and if the testimony of these worthies can be shaken in such an important paiticular as this , with a Welsh jury in the box , ~ the fate of the prisoners need not be deemed hazardous . I might also mention other cirenmstances , in connection with the above outrage , which will be substantiated in aid of the accused , on the trialj but as It forms no part of my duty to forwarn the public prosecutor of the line of defence to be adopted , we shall leave the develop * ment of these facts to the preper time .

      Here also I gained a knowledge of some tireumatances in connection ¦ with the melancholy death of the old woman at the Bendy Bridge Gate , with which 1 make ao apology , for troubling your readers . On the night in question the party who were engaged in breaking down the gate and demolishing the toll bouse according te their wont , removed the furniture from the house , prior to setting firs to the thatch ; they then insisted upon the old woman leaving the house , which she refused to do . They even went so far as to carry her forcibly out in their arms , but she threatened to hang them all , saying " Joan , a Thomas , a Dafyd , a Iago , * Inaming the very parties who took part in the proceedings ) " I know you every one ; and aJi of you shall hang as high as Hainan . " It was only then that one of the party , Tendered desperate by her - f nopjcoa committed the crime which is generally deplored ; bnt which , such is the present state of feeling in Wales , not a few are to be found who an willing to palliate , if not altogether to justify the proceeding .

      On the following day , in the course of a walk of some fifteen miles , I only saw one toll house standing , the occupant of which honoured me with a very inquisitive glance , at much as to say , " Who the dnece are yon ?' but as no words passed Jiis thirst for knowledge remained unaDayed . Scarely iowever , can a couple of miles be passed over , but a ruined cottage and the projecting stamp * of broken posts tell a tale of byegone barriers , ¦ which the daughters of Rebecca have caused to be numbered among " the things that were . " Seven of these mementos -were passed by your correspondent in bis day ' s ramble , wbica , with the one left standing , must iavemadea total of eight toll-bars in the short space ol fifteen miles .

      Large meetings of the Jarmers and others continue to be holden from time to time at which resolutions are adopted to memorialize the throne , requesting Her Majesty to HiKmiim her present ministers and to dissolve her present Parliament . Other resolutions are also occasionally adopted , an extract or two from which may not be unacceptable to your readers , as these are b 6 st qualified to give them an idea of what the Welshmen want : — " That long and bitter experience has brought your Majesty's petitioners to the conclusion that an indiscriminate selection of an irresponsible magistracy is a great calamity to tills country . The seat of justice should be above imputation as to its competency—aboye suspicion as to its purity—instead-of appearing , as may sometimes 1 > 3 the case , an object of reproach , and of indignant tut Blent eoBtunpt , calculated to woik deep dissatisfaction in the minds of the people ; and calculated , if it contfriuies to shake all regard for the institutions of the country . "

      •« That your Majesty ' s petitioners earnestly hope that some means may be devised whereby rents may be regulated by elective and indifferent asssessors , between the opposite interests of landlord and tenant , which would materially conduce to public harmony and prosperity . " " That your Majesty's petitioner ! are hopeless of relief , but through vigorous and enlightened legislative action . They have observed with pain and mortification that the present Parliament , which premised so much , has manifested little or no consideration for the -condition of the people ; wbilB its " attention seems to have been principally directed to class interests , or to party objects , regardless of the incessant calls of the country which is sinking and writhing under accumulated evils . Tour petitioners are , therefore , of opinion that the present Parliament is both disinelined and

      incompetent to meet the wants or wishes of the community , or to devise measures to amend its condition . " Her most gradeus Majesty may tell "My Lords and gentlemen * that the disturbances in Wales " have no ¦ connection with political causes ;* ' but verily such resolutions as these must go far to convince the peoplo -that political dissatisfaction occupies no small share in -the minds of Welshmen ; and , however much our miers may wish that politics had nothing to do in the matter , yet they may perhaps find-out , in the long run , ¦ that nothing short of an entire change of the whole . political system will at all satisfy either Rebecca or her daughters . Three neb meetings were held last wtek ; and three more are announced to take place in the present one , at one of which I shall contrive to be present , -sndrforwardyou an account of their * proceedings for your next Turn we now to the disturbances of the Treek .

      Last Friday night , about twelve o'clock , th 6 tollhouse » "rt turnpike-gate at Llanon , in' Cardiganshire , were wholly destroyed . Not a stone is now left of the entire building , and the whole of the furniture fonnd in It was burned . This proceeding was adopted , it seems , in consequence or the gate-keeper having refused to comply with some of the previons mandates of Kebecca . ¦ The rioters numbered about 300 strong ; bnt the-general opinion is that only few in the neighbourhood took -part in the proceedings , as the main booy is said to have - come from -the direction of Bhos-y-mciaiog . This feat ¦ was accomplished In the immediate vicinity of a large

      • body af military . On Monday Right , the Bolehirim and Porthyryd gates "were viuted by about 200 of the * followers o 7 Rebecca ; . and they met with the tum ^ ] fate of such obstructions ; for they were both totally demolished . On the following day , the contender received an intimation from "JBecea , " apprising him that if be attempted to take any more tolls , at eittierof the above gates , his property AhonM be made " Ae pay the piper . " With this intimation be promised unhesitating compliance , and has givenawtice to the trustees to that enact These demo-3 ittons also were accomplished in the immediate neigb-Swnrhood-ofa troop . of torse . * ¦ .

As I stated in my last , a party of the London police kave been imported into Wales . These fellows dont ' exhibit the cloven foot They dont carry " the number and mark of the beast" either on their forehead or

      their coat collar . They are all gentlemen in appearance . But it is reported that every man of them is already w&ll known , not only to Rebecca , but also to every member of her amiable family . Of course all sorts of rumours are rife ; and amongst the rest it is said that the fate of these gentry is sealed if ever they fall into tfee " lady ' s" hands ; nay more , that their prison is already provided , deep in the penetralia of a deserted sine . Two of the number are reported to have had a very narrow escape from thia fate already . They had gone out to the country to spend the night with a kindred spirit , a constable at Tumble , with whom they had opened up a sort of a correspondence . Intelligence

      of the meeting was received by some of the followers of Rebecca , who forthwith proceeded to the domicile of the aforesaid constable ; a cart , well furnished with nice dean straw , accompanied her in her route , for the purpose of conveying the Londoners to their subterranean home . Bnt other spies , as well as Rebecca ' s , had on that night been abroad ; for on ber arrival at the constable ' s house , she found out that the cockneys had taken the hint , although in the hurry of their departure they had not only forgotten certain portions of their attire ; but also a letter of instructions from head quarters , which , tinder the head of " intelligence and booty , " were seized upon by the daughters of Rebecca as lawful prey .

      Another anecdote which I have beard from a source worthy of credibility is too good to leave untold . A certain magistrate , who resides within a hundred miles of where I now write , occasionally allows his fears to get the better of his judgment . Ever Bince he signed a certain warrant of committal , the vengeance of the offended liege lady ef Wales has haunted his visions and disturbed his repose . To suoh extremeties has he been reduced by his fears , that not only is every one of his domestics armed , but a guard of policemen are also located in his mansion , lest the servants should be unequal to tke task cf defending their lord . One night last week he was even more alarmed than usual , in consequence of some threatening letters be had received , and double precautions were accordingly used with those which had hitherto been considered necessary . At about eleven o'clock on the self-same night the rockets were whining into the regions aloft ; the beacons were blazing upon every hill ; the blowing of the horns gave trumpet-tongued testimony to the fact that

      ' The clans they are gathering , gathering , gatheiing ; O ' er mountain and moor hath pasa'd the war sign" ; whilst the firing of the guns acted like ao many electric shecks upon the nerves of the ^ terror-stricken squire . A messenger was dispatched with all speed to the nearest market town , in order that the cavalry might hasten to the rescue . Tkey were speedily in the saddle , and proceeding at a gallop to the scene of supposed slaughter . The havoc at the mansion-house bad not yet begun ; but as the dragoons defiled upon the lawn they could observe the Rebeccaites , in their white dresses , at some distance on the left . The order to *• handle carbines , with ball cartridge , prime and load " , were speedily given and promptly obeyed . Their next

      movement was a semicular " wheel" , in order to surround the doomed mob , which unmoved awaited the formidable charge . The steady conduct of the rioters induced the commanding officer to pause , and try what effect a volley would produce . The fatal mandate was given to fire ; and as considerable confusion was thereby effected in the ranks of the foe ( for they could plain ); be seen making off with all speed ) the carbines were again slung ; and , sword in hand , the ; dragoons rushed forward to the charge . There they found , weltering in their blood , no rebel traitors , but three of the ( quire ' s sheep , of the improved Cheviot breed ! How his Worship bore the loss , your correspondent is unable to relate .

      i mentioned in my last , a report of a riot which had occurred in Carmarthen on the Saturday previous ; a rumour of which had reached me in Swansea . As I am now on the spot , and as the inquiry into it only terminated on Saturday last , I may be excused in going over the particulars . On the evening of the day in question a highly respectable female , a working man ' s wife , was going along the Btreeta of Carmarthen on business , and happened to be expatiating rather freely on some previous conduct of one of those peats of society , a policeman . The fellow overheard her , and without saying either , " By your leav&I I" or anything else , gave her a severe blow on the hand with his truncheon . This brutal attack upon a woman drew on him the reprehension of the whole of the by-stonders .

      As the mob increased , other policemen , of course , came up , and a general shindy was the natural result This affray was , however , speedily got under ; but c » Dsiderable excitement was still manifested by the town ' s people , which was not a little heightened by the insolent demeanour of the new policemen , who were trying to introduce the rtgimt of the " keep-moving" school . The Carmarthen folks had only been accustomed to " move" when they liked , and felt wondrously disposed to kick against the introduction of any such arbitrary laws . About ten o ' clock , the dragoons were ordered out , but by what authority is a complete mystery . The il&yor says , that he didn't do it ; and common politeness require ! us to believe him . The other Magistrates re-echo the sentiment :

      and of course , nebody did it ; yet sure en » ugb , it was done ; and moreover , Lieutenant Kerwain , who was the officer in command , ordered his men , if any of the people maltreated them , to CUT THEM ACROSS THE HEAD I !! and everybody says that his example was quite in harmony with his precept Even the Editor of the Wdthman maintains , " t > iat numbers of the peopl * had a narrow escape from the Lieutenant ' s sword ; and that one young man was threatened by bim , if he did not move quicker that he should run him through . " Really things are come to a fine pass in this free country of ours , that the people cannot go walking en the streets , without being in danger of being bludgeoned by policemen , sabred by cavalry , or bayoneted by infantry ; whenever a few old women in breeches take it into their brainless noddles to have a little

      recreation at our expence . [ Query . Mr . Editor , do you think it could be possible that Mr . Rice Trevor—I beg his pardon , the Honourable Mr . Rice Trevor , vice lieutenant of tbe county , —could be guilty of such a thing as ordering out the military , eh ? Ramour says he did it ; but everybody knows that rumour is a liar , } The infantry next , "with fixed bayonets , appeared upon the scene ; and after the people were tired of looking at them , they went quietly home and turned into bed , and both horse and foot followed the example . The policeman who was tfee original cause of the affray was brought up on a warrant for an assault ; and on Saturday but , when the ease was fully decided , he was ordered to strip off the policeman's garb , and pay £ 2 . or take a fortnight ' s recreation on the revolving turnpike .

      Two coach loads of the London police have gone off somewhere ; but no one knows where . The people say , " Devil aay care if they never come back . " Impounding a " Bum . "—A bailiff belonging to Mr . James Thomas , of Llandiio , who , it would seem , is down in " Becca's" black list of the law , being in possetsion under an execution , said to be of no very lenient character , against a farmer living at Fosgreel , Llaufynydd , was on the night of the 22 nd instant suddenly called by tke above lady to his account ; which , not being very satisfactory , be was himself levied upon

      under " BeecaV warrant , tied hand and foot , aud committed to the nearest common " pound . " " Becca " ordered his liberation the following morning , on hi 8 paying the sum of fourpence ( the accustomed legal fee for relieving quadrupeds ) , and entering into his own recognizancea to keep the peace towards all " BeecaV children for twelve months . Suffering and association sometimes beget extraordinary sympathy , even in such ss bad before been callous ; and it is now said that the bailiff in question has become a strenuous oppenent of cruelty to animals , and no less an enemy to Bolitary confinement

      MORE OF REBECCA . We have received the following from another correspondent : — Mebthtb Ttdtil- —I have to record , for the first time , Borne of the doings of the renowned lady " Rebecca" in this town . A rumour was abroad last week that the tollkeeper of the Tydvil Well Gate bad been served with a notice to quit the house before Friday last However he did not comply with the request ; but conveyed the notice to the Superintendent of Police , who is always ready at a whistle's call to attend . The gate was closely guarded every night during the week ; snd ob Friday night there were about a desen of the

      " blues" concealed in the toll-house , waiting the arrival of the lady and her daughters ; but the night passed and no fiebecea appeared : they therefore thought they had gained a complete "victory . But on Sunday moming last information was brought to the police camp that the Superintendent's horse had been shot in the stable . The ramour spread like wildfire through the town . On hearing the news your correspondent repaired to the a » ot , and soon discovered that the poor hone had been abot la the batk . This evening , Sept 24 th , handbills have been pnMisbed offering Five Pounds reward tor the apprehension of the parties connected with the deed .

      T ' < Ninthly—That it is unreasonable to expect , ana unjust to require , the British subject , while heatily oppressed with taxation , to compete with foreigners , who have , comparatively , little or no burdens ! : or , in other words , fo require or expect 1 that taxed labour can compete with untaxed labour , without bringing to inevitable ruia all whoi have to depend on taxed labour for subsistence , j But if your Majesty ' s faithful and loyal subjects must be exposed to this unwise policy , it is only consistent with common justice , first to put them on an equality with the foreigners , by removing their burdens . Tenthly—That while agricultural and manufactured productions are protected by law , it is only

      consistent with sound policy that the wages of labour shoulid be regulated according to the price of corn , or of provisions in general , bo as to enable the workingjclasses to purchase the ( at least ) necessaries of life , and thus vastly increase the oonsumption of British productions , benefitting all classes in the community , agricultural , manufacturing , mercantile , and operative . Eleventhly—That your Majesty ' s petitioners ask ao exclusive privilege , but such as would bfe beneficial equally to all ; nor the adoption of any measures but such as justice demands , souad policy inculcates , and the peace and prosperity of this nation imperatively ; requires .

      Twelfihlj--I ) uring a period of nearly 300 years , that is from the year 1350 to 1602 , various acts of Parliament were enacted on the principle of protecting labour , regulating wages " according to the price of provisions , and with the object as expressed in tbe very words of one of those acts : " to banish idleness , adyance husbandry , and yield unto the hired person , both in time of scarcity and in time of plenty , ^ convenient proportion of wages . " Lastly— While your Majesty ' s Petitioners do noi express any opinion on the merits or demerits of the Corn Laws ; they desire most unequivocally to declare their conviction that while l abour remains unprotected ' , ? if even those laws were repealed tomorrow , the comforts of the labouring classes can never be restored , but their condition become worse and worse , and consequently agricultural , manufacturing , and i mercantile affairs still more embarrassed . \

      They , therefore , most ardently trust that the first step taken by the Legislature , prior to any farther advance in the theories of free trade , will be to protect the labour of the humble though no less important operative classes of the community . Your Majesty ' s petitioners dp , therefore , most humbly pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleasedko command your Majesty's Ministers to take this all-important subject into their immediate and serious consideration , so as to devise some means by which the labouring classes may be excricated from those direful and trying privations ] to which they have been exposed for years , in consequence of labour being unprotecteu-rin consequence of the gradual decline of protection from British } industry ; and inconsequence of their having been left to the mercy of seifishness , cupidity , and avaricious competitioni

      And your Majesty ' s petitioners will , as in i duty bound , over pray . At the close of his address the Memorial was moved and ) seconded ; and , when put to the vote , was carried all but unanimously . This was the more extraordinary , as a considerable number of free-traders were assembled in the Hall , for the purpose of opposing . They dare not however show fight ; having evidently measured the opponent they would havejto meet . When the Memoria was adopted , Mr . Joshua Hobson came forward to move the resolution which follows . In doing bo , he animadverted most strongly on the conduct of the free traders present , in not daring to oppose that which they knew tore their system of " principles" to atoms . He also shewed

      the many struggles that the working people had had to obtain protection for labour ; and also shewed that they had failed because Labour haefcio power over the law , while Capital had . Mr . Hft ^ on addressed the meeting for more than an hojir-and-a haH' in pursuance of this general argumfht ; and in the course of it held up to gaza the worthless and indefensible system of " fredeom of action" which the Free-Traders nought to introduce . His account of the doings m Sheffield , where the mea of "freedom" make " cast metal" kni res , and sell them as good steel , coupled withhiaexposure af the " Devil ' s Dust" doings in tbe town of Hnddersfield itself , made a marked impression on the assembly . At the conclusion of his remarks , his resolution was seconded by Mr . B . Robinson , a Corn Law Leaguer , nnd Poor Law Guardian ; and when put to the vote , was carried , in the orowded meeting , with only three dissentients . Here it is : —

      " That while this meeting most heartily agrees with the object of it , as expressed in the Memorial juat now adopted ; and while it would * gladly hail the accomplishment of such object sr ant party as a new era ] in modern legislation , it must be true enough to itself to declaro that it has no hope that such object ever will be accomplished until an entire ohange in the character and composition of the REPRESENTATION be effected . It cannot shut its eyes tojthe fact that all the efforts of the working people to obtain protection for labour have been derided and set at nought ; the most prominent of their advocates persecuted and imprisoned ; their petitions scoffed at , despised , and scornfully rejected ; their wants disregarded , and their wishes thwarted : and all by a Legislature chosen by , and representing , fartt and class . This

      meeting has reason to believe that had that Legislature been what it ought to have been , —a re lex of the national will , —Protection for Labour would never have been lost , or a course of policy adopted to give cupidity and avarice unrestrained operation over unprotected labour ; for the national will has ever sought to maintain labour in its proper position : ajndit would appear , either from the amount of gross ignorance that pervades the legislative classes , or from a total disinclination to give up fancied interest and benefit , that labour never will be righted or secured in its true position until labour has its fair share of the representative p ower . It is for these reasons and these considerations that labour so consistently and so pertinaciously contends for the legislative adoption of the principles embodied in the document entitled the People ' s Charter . "

      This was an important meeting . We regret that we are not able to give a full report of the proceedings . It i has produced a powerful sensation in Huddersfield . We understand that the same memorial will be submitted to public meetings in other towns of the North .

      Let us see how the matter about which we have been predicting goes on . We foretold that the visit of the Queen to the King of the French ! , meant more than the mere bandying of compliments between an old man and a young woman . We said that the old Diplomatist would play for Spain ; but the 7 tWs for a long time was shy , and would not bite . We directed attention to the fact that the all-absorbing question for the consideration of the little congress , would be the " means by wh > ch the

      growing demand for Republicanism could be arrested" j We directed attention to the horror with ! which the idea of Spain declaring for aj Republic would strike the " King of the Barricades " . We animadverted upon the precipitancy with which the Cabinet of St . James ' s had recongnized the Government of the bloody Narvez , and his bloody soldier-shooting , liberty-destroying crew . T ^ ue , the Times told us that" our Government recognized the tyrant ' s title no further than ordering pur Minister at the Court of Spain to transact business with the usurper " . How much further he could have gone under present circumstances we are at a loss to understand ; but shall look to the Leading Journal for information .

      It appears that the bloody ruffian , Narvez , is : so haunted by his . butcheries , his treasons , and his treacheries , that be has been summoned by Cristina , the Spanish mischiefmaker and prime favourite of the French King , to attend her in Paris ; and for what purpose does the reader tljink i Why to invite French aid in the establishment of Spanish tyranny , and to secure the Spanish throne as a marriage portion for the French King ' s son ! And how does , the reader suppose the noninterfering Leading Journal prepares the way for such intervention ? Why thus : "A measure" ( says the Times of Thursday ) " which ] appears to indicate some desire to coalesce ] with ANY THING that is not revolutionary , in order to stay the FLOOD OF

      REPUBLICANISM WITH WHICH SPAIN AND ITS RULERS ARE THREATENED . " Now then , may we not sorrowfully , but proudly ask , " Who is the prophet ! " Aye , and the one great ghost that haunts the mind of every tyrant upon earth ia the "Flood of Republicanism , " with which misrule is THREATEN ED . » The curious article in the Times come upon us so late in the week than we hive not time to give it that "flood of republican" consideration which it so justly merits ; but we must observe that upon no one subject has the meandering Times felt itself compelled to make so many chops , slopes , and changes , upon so much of the Spanish question and Frencii j ' otrigue as has coma under the review of that Jim Crow Journal . 1 *

      CASES BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES . . GateSHEaD , Septi 20 . —The pitmen ot thd Javrow Colliery had summoned their masters for non-compliance with , the Guarantee clause ot the Band . Under tbat clause the men were to be found work to produce 26 s . per fortnight : in four fortnights there bad been an aggregate deficiency in the wages of Thomas Lamb of 9 s . 6 d ., and for thia sum the summons was granted . Tbe case was one of considerable interest , as almost all tbe men in the colliery had been defrauded in a similar way . The case was fnUy proved by Mr . Roberts . Mr . Philipson attended on behalf ot tbe coalmnsters , and cross-examined the witnesses at very great length , but without in the slightest degree shaking their testimony . :

      Mr . Philipson then contended that the magistrates bad no jurisdiction over tbe case ; tbat tbe men had been paid for all they had ear ed , for all tbe work they bad really performed ; and tbat their charge against the masters of not having given them the amount of work guaranteed was matter for an action at law , and not one over which the magistrates bad any controul . In reply Mr . Roberta submitted that as the relation of master and servant was constituted by the bond , all the contracts relating to payment must be considered as wages . They were tbe consideration for which the labourer bound himself to one colliery and restricted himself from seeking work elsewhere for a whole year ; tbat if the labonrer refused to do the work required by the bond there-was always jurisdiction enough to send bim to prison ; and by &U fair analogy tbe same jnrisdiction could enforce the payment guaranteed by tbe Bame instrument . If a contrary decision were arrived

      at , the following case might happen : tbere might fee cross-summonses ; John Notes might summon bis master for not giving bim tbe employment guaranteed , or any employment at all ; and at tbe same time the magistrates might be required to decide a charge against Nokes for absenting himself when be ought not to have done so : and this -would be the result of Mr . Philipson's argument ; the magistrates would be called upon to say , " John Nokes you have established your case againstyour master , and your master has established his case against you ; over the former we have no jurisdiction , so yon may bring yotti action , which will cost you about j ( S 6 ; bnt aB to yonr effnnce against your master , vie have jurisdiction . over that . John Nokes ; so John Nokes you must go to prison for three muntbB —turnkey take bim away . " Was it possible tbat law so administered -could by any possibility obtain the respect of the -working classes .

      The Magistrates retired , and were absent balf an hour . They were all coaLowners , and Mr . Philipson iB also , an extensive coal-owner . Their decision was that they had no jurisdiction , and the case was dismissed . Mr . Roberts immediately gave notice of an action to be tried at the next March Assizes . BISHOP AUCKLAND , SEPT . 21 . ' WESTERTON Colliery . —A standard weight was provided , by this bond—7 cwt . 2 qrs .: to this weight each tab was to be filled , and every one deficient was " set out , "—; the labour ef tbat one being forfeited by the pitmen . Only two tubs out of twenty-three were weighed , and

      by their average the other twenty-one divided . If tbe two selected to form tbe average by , were under the standard , they were not " set out , " as by the bond they onsbt to have been , but retained for the purpose of making the average ; bufc all the others under tbe Btondard -were set out . Tbe two selected might be six cwt—then tbe other twenty-one were averaged at tbat weight ; but ef these there might be some tbat were eight cwt , and some that were but seven cwt , ; those tbat were eight owt were averaged at six , and the seven cwts . were " set out" altogether . The injustice of tfela will be immediately apparent , more particularly when it is recollected tbat the twentythree tubs were contributed by different hewers .

      Such was the case ; but it was doomed to a , very rapid though most satisfactory termination . Immdiately on Mr . Roberts' appearance in tbe Justice Room , he was requested by the masters " to walk out for a moment—just to talk it over— to Bee whether they could not eetle it—without kicking np a dust , &e . < kc . ;" and walk out they did—and talked it over—and the result was that the masters were persuaded to do away with the standard altogether , and arrange tbat each man ' s tnbs would be weighed and paid for according to what they actually contained t A similar termination has attended several other cases . The masters have yielded to reason , rather than go before tbe magistrate * . In all cases they vehemently protest that they never knew of the evil before , and " were very much obliged to Mr . Roberts for calling their attention to it , " and bo on .

Meetings were held on the 19 tb , 21 st , 22 nd ! and 2 $ rd , in the above neighbourhood , with the best success , the men everywhere resolving to join the Miners' Union , and taking out cards of membership . : Clackmamnansuire . —Messrs . Daniells and Hammond have been actively engaged among the Miners and Colliers ot this county during tbe past week , and have been well received . Tbe spirit of unity , which has long been slumbering , is again awakened , and from present appearances this eounty will soon rank among the foremost in the good cause . A public meeting of the colliers was held in the hall , Coalsnaughton , on Tuesday last , Mr . Hunter in the chair . A very good spirit was displayed , and a district committee chosen . The meeting also unanimously pledged themselves to join the Miners' Association . On the Thursday Messrs .

      Hammond and Daniells met the Committee in the Hall , to make arrangements for a county meeting , which came off on Saturday last , Mr . W . Adaroson in tbe chair , and was addressed by Mr . Wm . Daniells , on " The riie , progress , motives , and objects of the Miners' Association " , and afterwards by Mr . Hammond , when the following resolutions were passed : —" Tbat we hold another public county meeting , to be called by printed placard , on Monday , October 2 nd , the chair to be taken at twelve o ' clock at noon , and that Messrs . Daniella and Hammond be requested to leave the Bannockburn district , where they will be engaged during tbe next few days , in order to attend that meeting .

      Staffordshire Potteries—A public meeting of Colliers was holden on Monday at Small Thome . Mr . Thomas Myer in the chair , the following resolutions were unanimously passed—" That it is the opinion of the Miners of this district , tbat the hours of labour are too long , and tbat the present rate of wages is not sufficient to maintain us and our families . " " Tbat it is the opinion of the Miners present , -that it will be the interest of the Miners generally to cordially unite far each other ' s protection ; and tbat we highly approve of the rules and objeets of the Miners Association of Great

      Britain and Ireland , and not only intend to become members ourselves , but wiU use all the influence we can to induce others to join . " Messrs . Swallow and Lomax delivered lengthy addresses on tbe present sufferings of the Miners , and proved to demonstration , tbat nothing but general union will ever do them good . Both were loudly cheered . After a vote of thanks to tbe chairman the meeting separated higbiy delighted . Messrs . Swallow and Lomax were highly honoured , for there were no less than nineteen policemen , besides a captain and sergeant present

      On Saturday Mr . Lomax attended at Lane-end , and formed a society . Mr . Swallow also established one at Small Thorne . At both plaoes a goodly number of members were enrolled . BurslkM and H AN ley . —A public out-door meeting of the colliers of this neighbourhood was holden ; it Smallthorne , Mr . Thomas Mayer , a collier , in the chair . Mr . Lomax , a Lancashire collier , addressed the meeting at considerable length . Mr . Swallow followed . Both speakers were loudly cheered . Barnsley . —Mr . Hopwood , a coal-pit owner in this town , has commenced the work of oppression on his already too badly-paid workmen , by putting thirteen corves to tbe dozen . This act of oppression , no doubt , will be followed by tbe other masters , unless a timely

      stop is put to it by the Miners of the district . But yet , numerous sb tbat bedy are in this locality , tbey are rendered powerless from want of organization . They have , it is true , formed an Association some few weeks Bince , which numbers about 100 members . It is earnestly to be hoped tbat the Miners' Executive will communicate with the Association in this town , with a view to direct them to organize thiB vast district . There is work enough in this locality for a lecturer , for a month or two ; and unless the men of this place be asssted with a lecturer , they will never be able to do much of themselves to assist the national movement . All communications to the Miners' Association in this town to be directed to Geor « e Wood , Coolers' Row , Crow Well Hill , Bamsley .

      MORE "COAX KING" TYRANNY . Blackleyhuest . —On Friday , the 22 nd Instant , one of the agents of the Coal Miners'Union paid us a visit and delivered a lecture , which gave great satisfaction te all who heard it We accordingly volunteered to enrol oar names in the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland . This being done , the underlooker came up stairs , and said that if any man who bad joined the Association dared to aet his foot upon tbe ground of the colliery , lawful proceedings should be taken against him w them .

      men would stop at their work ; but , to fajj great surprise , they came oat of tbe pit too , and enlisted is tbe same regiment He next 'went and stopped the Tommy Shop , —for the track system it carried on here .. We consider it to be our duty to make this piece of injustice known to the public : and knowing that no other newspaper will do the working classes justice , we have taken the liberty of sending you these few lines . In conclusion , -we hope that our brother miners will stand to their guns in spite of all tbe masters can do , tor they are determined to trample us under tbeir feet We remain , Sir , &c The Coil Mihebs of Blackley udrst .

      IMPORTANT MEETING AT HUDDERSFIELD . Oa Monday evening last a most numerous and important meeting was holden in the large room of the Philosophical Hall , to call upon the Queen to direct her Ministers to make the principle ot protec tioN for labour the basis of measures for the relief of the oppressed producers of wealth . It was called at the instance of one or two gentlemen of the town , for the purpose of giving Dr . Sleigh of Brill-House , an opportunity oflaying a memorial before the meeting , and of stating his views on the all-important question of labour .

      Mr . Jonathan Leech , the chief-constable of the town , was called to the chair ; but he having to leave , he appointed Mr . W . Stocks to officiate in bis absence . The Chairman , after a few observations in opening the business , introduced Dr . Sleigh , who addressed the assembly in excellent stjle for about an hour , in support of the Memorial which follows . He went through each portion of it with great clearness and force ; entering into calculations to show the immense loss to the Home Market by the present system of low wages , and gave the outlines of a plan by which wages might be regulated with perfect justice and protection to all parties . He was loudiy and repeatedJy cheered . The following is the Memorial : — TO THE ivJBEN ' 3 MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY . The Memorial of the Clergy , Gentry , Merchants , Manufacturers , and Operatives , in Public Meeting assembled , this 25 th day of September , 1843 ,

      Shlweth , Firstly—That manual labour is the original Bourco of all wealth , both national and individual ; and that all property is derived from labour , and the wages paid for labour . Secondly—That , in order to maintain peaoe and oontentedness in any civilised nation , and to preserve the greatness of any Kingdom , labour and property must acknowledge a mutual dependence . Thirdly—That either wages must be raised to the level of the reputed wealth of the nation , or capital must ) sink to the standard of wages ; for wages being the source , it necessarily follows that , in proportion as the source is diminished , bo must that which proceeds from it .

      Fourthly—That , as manual labour is the only capital of the working olasses , it is unjust towards them , and impolitic towards the nation at large , that this property Bhould be the only one in the nation unprotected . Fifthly— -ThaV in the midst of immense wealth , hundreds of thousands of your Majesty's loyal subjects are destitute of the common comforts of life ; wages having been from time to time , through cupidity , so reduced , that at length the reward of labour has ceased to be , in this country , equivalent to the procuring even the necessaries of life ; and thiB even in what have been termed prosperous times , so that while some were creating vast fortunes , the working classes by whose labour those

      fortunes were made , have been rendered by a reduction of wages , unable to purchase any of the comforts , and vast numbers of them unable to procure even the necessaries of life . Sixthly—That not only do the working olasses suffer by labour being thus unprotected , but the Home market , Which is five times more advantageous to manufacturers than the foreign market of tbe whole world , has lost many millions of pounds sterling annually . So that the evil of low wages producing a want of ability in the consumer to purchase the goods of the producer , has reacted on agriculturalists and manufacturers themselves j and to this in a great measure may be Attributed the present depressed state of trade . ¦ ¦ ' : -.: . ¦ ¦ -

      Seventhly—That , in oorroboration of this state * ment- it may fcerremarked that wages have been reduced in some places , seventy-five per cent . ; but , supposing tlie reduction to be three BhillingB from the weekly wages of a working jwpulation of six millions , the Hone ! Market loses annually , at least , forty-six million pounds !! A sum equal to the value of the export irade of the nation J J ! Eighthly—These undeniable facts plainly demonstrate , not only that common justice , bat the advantage of the great landed and manufacturing p / o < ptietors demand that labour should be protected ; that the working man may receive a fair ' . day ' s ' wages for a fair day ' s work .
