      TO THB EDITOR OP THE KOBTHBBN STAB , Bep £ Cted Sis , —Permit me ihrough the medium of yonr invaluable journal to contradict a number of gross falsehoods which appeared in the Blackburn Standard of Uo ^ mber the 29 b , relative to ihe-MiDers' Association recently formed in thai neigh boorhoodi . The Blackburn Standard in 5 t 3 report of the meeting of Miners recently holden at Bacup , states that u it was attended by delegates from Kewcasllettpon-Tyne , Wigan , St . Helen ' s , and other places ; and that every-day dnriDg the preceding week delegates from various p&ris of Scotland and other places have held meetings at Oldham , Ashton , Stockport , Bolton , Bury , Rochdale , and the neighbouring

      towns . Lodge meetings are held in various public houses ; apd persons are admitted by passwords and Bigns . similar to the Odd Fellows and other secret societies . It Is also rumoured that there will shortly be a general turnout of Miners throughout Lancashire aad Yorkshire ! " This , Mr . Editor , is an extract from the columns of the Blackburn Standard \ andit proves that the person who wrote it is possessed of to mean capacity for what children call story-telling ' ; as , with the exception of the fact of a meeting having been iolden at Bacnp , it is one continued , tissue of falsehoods from beginning t © end * But Is seems from ihe statement about secret meetings , . passwords , and signs , that tie writer has « ther obieetB in view than the

      mere gratification of his lying propensities . He Irishes to bring down npon the already much-injured Miners , not only the vengeance of the Coal JDngs , but an increase of expenditure in having to defend themselves from a charge of conspiracy . I most emphatically and unequivocally declare that Delegate meetings have not been holden every day ; that there are no secret meetings of any . description ; that there have been no delegates from Scotland ^ tha t there are no " signs" or "passwdrds ; but on the contrary meetings of delegates are only holden once in each fortnight , and &e plaees -where drey are beJd are regularly announced through the columns of the Ncrlhern Star ;

      jmd ihe only things excluded during the deliberations of the delegates , are intoxicatingdrinks- If one are prohibited from ' witnessing the proceedings , provided they conduct themselves with propriety aad decorum . So far from the Miners wishing to do anything secretly , they desire to * give the ntmost publicity to all their proceedings , in older that pubHo feeling may be roused in their favour , and the whole nation become acquainted with the many acts of injustice to which the mining population have been so long subjected . I am , Sir , yours repeotfully , Wh . GaoeoTi , Secretary to the Lancashire Miners . Manchester , Bee 6 th .

      THE TARIFF TRADE . The effects of the Tariff , on the Provision Trade , are beginning to manifest themselves . American UNTAXiD cheese , and butter , and bacon , and hams , and lard , and beef , are being brought into England , to compete with the English farmer ' s TAXED cheese , bacon , and beef 2 Raie way to pay the debt , is not It ? 1 It is mnoh if it will not in the end be fonnd so 1

      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 Oobdek and Co ., and giving them their " sweet voices" in favour of measures to bring unx&xed corn and uktaxid beef , into open and active competition with English TAXED corn ; having been persuaded that to do so vsill be of advantage to the tax-payer J

      Well ! it is a queer world that we live in : bat of all queer things surely this is the mo&t queer . It iB true that the representations of COBDES and Co ., in the agricultural districts , have been totally different from what they have been in the manufacturing districts 5 it is true that there another song than the w Cheap bread" one , had to be sung , to " charm" the poor clod-poles ; it is trne that there the key-note of the harangnea w&b , that corn would be no cheaper than it nevo is : it is true all this ; but even then , taking all this into account , one can hardly Bee how the xtntaxed corn of American growth ; how the employment of American capital and American labour is to pay OUR debt %

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

      again . Let the English fancer read the following account , taken from the Liverpool Times of Tuesday last . It relates to a kew trade ; one lifcely to " be very profitable to them ! They ought to be grateful to their " friend , " Free-trading Peel , for so arranging it that the Americans have to aid them in paying the taxes ! Of couree , they know that "Freetrade" is a " benefit . " So at least Cobden and Co . say . Here is the beginning ! How will they like it 1 On Thursday last , a large sale of American and Canadian provisions took place in Liverpool , and as this is altogether a new trade , and one chiefly 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 about 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 38 s . per cwt . Not more than the eighth part was sold in the sale room . Of salt butter , principally Canadian , 240 casks were offered . It fetched 53 s . to 55 s . per CWt . The quality was good j superior to any Irish butter to oebonght at the same priee . Of hams there were 1500 offered . They sold at from 58 s . toCOithe cwt . The quality waseood , and the prices the same . Of beef 200 tierces were offered , bnt none were soJd .

      Of lard 1000 barrels ( about 100 tons ) were offered It waa taken in at 353 . to : 36 s . 6 d ., and considerable part of it has been since sold at those prices . The arrivals of American provisions from the United States , from the 1 st to the 30 th November , were as follows : —Beef , 583 tierces and 308 brrrels ;

      Untitled Article

      hams , 7650 j lard , 3337 barrels ; 1378 kegs ; butter , 776 casks ; cheese , 974 casks ; 2488 boxes ; wheat , 5261 quartera ; and flour , 36 , 608 orls . IhiaiB independent of tbe supplies from Canada . Since the commencement of the present month the supplies have also been large . The American ships Virginian and Republic , which arrived here yesterday , and the Compton , from Canada , which arrived on Sunday , are almost full of provisions . The two American vessels are said to bring 1000 tierces of Beef , besides other kinds of provisions .

      We have always been led to understand that a large foreign trade" was necessary to us , to enable us to pay oux own taxes ; that it was not only requisite that we should employ our own labour and capital to produce what we 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 Beems , however , that we have hitherto been wrong . We should not have employed our own labour to any such end . The proper way wa 3 , to let the "foreigner" work tor us , and thus 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 us one or two other lessons 1 If it be unwise to zvoik for ourselves ^ and thus burden ourselves -vnfca onr own taxation , is IT HOT MOHB UNWISE still to work fob othbbs , and thuB take theib burdens upon our backs \ If we are to cease producing for the Home-market , and get the Americans to grow bacon , beef , and cheese for us , and thus pay our taices ^ ooght we not to cease producing for the foreign market , and ease ourselves of the taxation of "the world 1 " These are queries whioh we ought deeply to ponder upon .

      There seems to us to be but one more reauirement to perfect this scheme of ease : ease from labour , and ease from taxes : and that requirement is , the adoption of Tom . Attwood ' s inconvbbtiblb 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 haw XA 5 Y scheme of " profound political economy , " w ^ th our present monetary arrangements . It will be very inconvenient and difficult to find gold to pay

      the Americans for their beef and bacon , and pay the renter and tax-gatherer too . But with Tom ' s scheme ; with an inconvsbttble paper-money ; wilb a w medium " ' that we can " expand " at will ; with a " currency" that we can increase ad libitum ; with just this addition to the Free Trade scheme , we see no end to ouri wealth , onr power , onr greatness , and our bask ! Only think of a paper-money , inconvertible into gold ! Why everything must go on swimmingly ! How oould it be otherwise ! Just imagine how cenvenvenient a mere " PBOMiSE-to-pay " -on-paper will be in satisfaction of a demand , with a provision thai tea neper shall be called upon , or compelled , to pay I la there not greatness and power in that ?

      Could we not , under such circumstances , do as we like I What would there be to hinder us ! The Americans would bring their beef : pay them in INCONTBBT 1 BLES ! The tax-gatherer calls for Prince Aueht ' s " allowance" and the Debt-holder ' B dividend : pay him in ^ convertibles ! Do you owe a mortgage , or a bond debt , or a book debt , or even a debt of " htnour" : pay them in inconvebtibles ! Should yon run short of them ; should it appear difficult to imagine how they are to come back again from America ( when once taken t / . ' . ' ); should any difficulty of this sort occur , hoiw easy to make more I How easy to make them abound ! 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 * Free-Trido-ease-from-labour-at-home-systein . " It is all that is required to make it work , after we have induced the foreigners to take our " money" as money . Then for ease ! Then for plenty ! Then for happiness ! Then for a total and unconditional Repeal of the Cora Laws ; for then we could do without even the Timers fixed putt ! What fools we have been to " toil and moil" for the whole world , as we have done , when we could get on better without working at all ! But then Englishmen are as blind as bats . Were it not bo , they would have Been this long since . They had only to open their eyes , and look upon what is passing beneath their noses on every hand , and the ;

      would have seen this EAST-ByBtem in full practice . They would have seen that the men who do not work are invariably the best to do ! " What is true individually , is true nationally . " There the whole thing is ! The cation has only to learn the secret of the easy ones , and the nation is " well to do" also ! That secret is , to make others work for , you , instead of being such fools as to work yourselves ! This we can now accomplish . Pbbl has got the Americans ready to supply us with beef , bacon , and cheese ; Cobden has them ready to Bupply us with corn ; and Attwood is able to supply ns with untold heaps of ( " cheap" ) INCONVERTIBLE-promise-to-pay-money to buy the beef and bacon , the cheese and corn , with . What more cpn we want ! We ought to have a jubilee : for tbe days of humbuggery and quackism are ended 1

      REPUBLICANISM IN SPAIN . CAPITULATION OP THE BRAVE BARCELONESE , 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 defenoes whioh they have so long and fo bravely kept out of the hands of the crew of the bloody Nabvaez . "Legitimacy" has , therefore , for the moment " triumphed . " Its sway is now all but universal throughout unsuccessful Spain .

      There are but the few heroic " Insurgents , ' shut up in the Castle of Pigueras , who wa # e open war against the " established" (!) Government . Kingcraft and Priestcraft are , therefore , once more in the ascendant . The efforts of the Republicans to cause the Governmental recognition of tho Rights of Man , " by the establishment of a Central "Junta , " chosen by the people , to draw up a Constitution , have received a oheck ; and it is possible that the slender flame of liberty , still flickering , may be sought to be quenched in the blood of the brave , made to flow in defiance of express Convention , by the heartless assertors of " Right Divine . "

      But the song of triumph ' over the Republicans need not be very loud ; for it will not be very long ! r " Legitimacy" has not made secubb its foothold ! The 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 sot subdued . They bare had to deliver the City of

      Barcelona into the hands of Sanz ; bnt 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 , antil want and sheer necessity compelled them to capitulate . They have not been subdued . Their spirits are unbroken : and we may rest f ^ tisfied that the love of eoantry whioh prompted them to take arms in the assertion of their country ' s rights against brutal faction , will again lead to acts and deeds , which , under more favourable circumstances , may lead to a successful

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

      hare been made upon his own person ; more than one effort . hw been made to take his life ; and it requires the upmost 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 Nabvaiz and his crew of cut-throats have to deal with ! They are a brave and enduring people , as the " Legitimists" have found to their oost at Barcelona . Let the reader ponder well over the following ; and ask himself if it be likely that men fjzsessing spirit and patriotism suoh as 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 lidlbs . of gunpowder left , and were reduced to their last 300 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 by storm . The insurgents shut up in the oastle of Figueras were determined to hold out to the last moment .

      These are the sort of men that fare 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 tbe bands 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 Nahvaez . 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 Morning Chronicle gives the following interesting account of the state , appearance , and condition of the City of Barcelona when re-entered by the Government troops . From it , it will be learned that the brave defenders of the City against the assaults of the " Legitimists , " knew what they were about . " The measures they took to repel an attack were perfect ; and the troops , as they entered , universally agreed , that if properly defended , they could never hava carried the barricades , save at an immense loss of life . " " All those streets that opened on the citadel were defended with 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 , bo as to resist cannon ehot ; 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 pieves . " Let the reader bear in mind that these " works" ; these " defenoes" ; these " preparations" were made by an " Insurgent " pkoplb ; 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 doinga of "

      Insurrectionists . " We always expect that those whose trade is war , will , on all necessary occasions , take the proper meana to defend themselves ; and When we hear ot their forming defences within defences ; ereoting barricades and forts ; making loop-boles in Barrack walls , —( as they are now doing in Ire ' land ) , —we do not wonder at the M works" themselves , though we may ( as in the case of Ireland ) wonder what they are all for : but when we find a people ereoting "defences" against the aggressions of tyranny ; when we find them triplebarricading "' their streets , and opening trenches

      between the barricades ; when we fiad them filling the lower rooms of their houses with eariB and stones , so as to resist cannottshot ; when we find them ereoting forts , that coulS hardly ever be taken by storm : when we find all this on the p art of a PEOPLE against their despotic and murdering rulers , and find them , too , maintaining the contest while they have any means of continuing it left : when we find 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 snooess and prevent defeat ; our admiration must be great indeed . All this the reader will find in the subjoined account . To his attention we commend it : — At length , after afl absence of seven weeks from Barcelona , and of nearly three months of revolution , I have been enabled , in conjunction with the world at large , to re-euter it . This happy event occurred on ihe evening of the 21 st , when the gate of

      Barcelonetta was opened to : the thousands who bad congregated there from an early hour . The scenes whioh 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 whioh the Plaza del Palaoio ( on whioh the gate of Baroelonetta immediately opened ) presented ; this square , it may be remembered , was the principal scene of action , being close to the citadel , and of course had suffered the most ; the pavement was mostly

      pulled up in order to forin barricades , and the square was now filled with remnants of houses fallen down , broken pillars , and rubbish of every description ; the square is very large , and is decidedly the handsomest part of Barcelona , the Custom house tho Exchange , the Palace of the Captain ' General , and t . he magnificent range of build inga of Seuor Kifre being situated round it ; all these had more or less been injured , the Custom home bat 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 , and remains standing , but it will { require many thousand dollarB 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 thohou 868 of Senor Kifre , whioh present a melanoholly 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 Bpaoe 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 byj opening the sewer : this would' have formed .: a severe obstacle to tbe assault of the troops if they ha « l attacked , and bad nipt brought planks with them to cross it . A large Market-place here , and extensive rope-walks , retain but their names , being confounded with and levelled to the ground . A fine statue of Neptune , decorating a public fountain , has been cut in two by a , shot . Very fine gardens ( decorated with fountains , marble statues , avenues , &o ., and whioh formed a favourite promenade with the Barcelonese )

      connected the city with the citadel . Here the Patulea greatly annoyed the sentinels on the walls and the cannoneers with musketry ; in consequence orders were given to cannonade them out , and the gardens have been destroyed ; the statues are now lying broken in pieces in the waters of the fountains , the aviariea perforated have afforded an exit for their tenants , and the trees and shrubs look as if a hurricane had swept over them : the destruction is com ' plete . 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 city to repel am attack from the citadel were perfect , and the

      troops , as they entered , universally agreed that , if properly defended , they could never have carried 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 and the sewers opened , The ground floors of the houses were all filled up with earth : and stones , so as to resist cannon shot j and the soldiery , thus exposod in the streets and unable to protect themselves in the houses , through inability to enter them , would , in a very short tiine , have been cut to pieces . All the

      dwellings in this part bear evident traces of the handicraft of the citadel . Turning to the left from the Plaza del Palacio ; you proceed along the Calle Isabel and the Muralia ( or sea walls ) , to the fort of Atarazanaa , in the Calle Isabel . The city had a battery , called the battery of the Lions , from two large statues of these animals gracing the steps on mounting the sea walls . This battery waa repeatedly destroyed by the fire of Montjuich and the citadel , but was as often repaired . The lions have long disappeared , which may be also said of the trees arid lamp-poets , which now Bhow nothing but their stumps jtheheuBes , which form a part of | those of

      Kifre , facing the square , are greatly scarred and injured , and the windows broken by the discharges of the artillery . ] The ** Muralia , " a fine promenade on the walls facing the harbour , is literally ploughed up with shot ; the stone seats and sentry-boxes and the houses fronting the sea greatly injured . The extensive barracks on the Baluarte Medea" are all down . At length we reach the celebrated fort of the Atarazanas , whioh still exists , and shews but little external damage , notwithstanding the thousands of shot hurled at it by Montjuich ; had the troops ever attacked the city , not their least task would have been to lake this fort , which

      is immensely strong , and has defenoes within defences ; the houses and barracks around are muoh injured , and the Mint , an especial object of hat « , 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 ! city externally . As you enter the narrow streets ] towards the ' Plaza St . Jaime' but little destruction is perceptible— -not bub what it is great ; bat the houses must be entered in order to view the effects of the shells , which fell in- this vicinity in great numbers . Tbe 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 ] tbe damage . One factory I have entered , that of Greenhelge . and Co ., has received eome'thirty 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 inoluded . jwho was imprisoned by his colleagues for robbery . The principal chiefs of tho Patulea and National Guards , the military andjsivil employes of the government who were compromised , either have

      left , or are daily leaving for France and England , not considering their persons safe here , in spite ot the convention with Sacz , which has bees , and is being hourly broken and disregarded . Domiciliary visits are nightly made , and persons arrested by the " mistos de esguddron" ( thief-catchers , 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 Sauz has been 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 the Central Junta , death to Prim , and other cries j ; but I have good reason to believe that the disturbance was purposely originated , and created through the instrumentality of General Sohelly and other officers , who were openly opposed to tbe article of the Convention which guaranteed retention of their arms by the militia , and hit upon this scheme in order to induce General Sane to break it . I do not know whether Sana was 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 1 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 , aud sailed for Gibraltar on the evening of the 21 st ; the Pheriicten 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 Pbih is not difficult to be guessed at . The " Convention entered into by Saio with the people of Barcelona , is hourly broken" !! "Domioilary visits are nightly made , and persons arrested . " " The National Guards have been disarmed . ? ' All this shows what Sanz and his

      cut-throats wou } d have done , had the Junta put thembelves within his power . They have , however , acted wisely . They have got out of his reach . They are where they can " arrange" together again : and we may confidently expect that we have not sees the l ast revolution in Spain .

      " great . " Here is an evidence of the terms of " kindneaa , " and sympathy" that subsists between tho Mill-Lord-Employerandthe enslaved Employed . Here it is : A Habd Case . —At the Rochdale petty sessions . on Monday last ( the magistrates on the bench being Messrs . Clement Royds , W . Chadwick , H . KelsalL and the Rev . Mr . Cotton ) , theoaseof Joseph Taylor , silk weaver , Middleton , against Messrs . Bennecca and Co ., calico printers and manufacturers , of Belfield , near Rochdale , for wages , &c , came oh ; when Mr . Hunt , solicitor , 'who voluntarily appeared on behalf of Taylor , said , he had one of the most

      extraordinary cases to lay before the bench relative to Taylor , he ever heard of . He said the bench would recollect , that a few weeks ago , Taylor summoned his employers , the above firm , for wages for weaving two cuts of p inted cotton warp and worsted weft , at 33 . 9 d . per cat . At that time , the putterout , John Hndson , alias John Hargreaves , had refused to pay the wages on the ground that the weaver had put too much weft in the work ; however , the case was referred to . arbitation , and he had to pay the money . Taylor , he said , had another cut to weave of the warp , and on account of making one of the outs too strong , he wanted worsted to weave about 7 yardB , He had applied at the warehouse several times , and the putter-out had refused to either sell or allow

      him any . —Two witnesses stated , that when the case had been referred to arbitration , they heard Hudson tell Taylor that he would neither allow nor sell him weft to finish his warp : and that he would have HIM PUNISHED IF HE PURCHASED ANY . —John TuTner , a weaver in the above firm , said , he bad got worsted from the putter-out for Taylor to finish tha work , but the putter-out had followed him to a public-house , and taken it from him again . —Mr . Hunt said , Aw client was unable to appear agaiast Messrs . Benecca and Co . Tbe summons had been taken out on Wednesday last by Taylor ; but , on Friday AFTERNOON , HE WAS TAKEN BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES AT HASUiVGDEN , AND COMMITTED FOB ONB 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 WEATJI IT . The Rey . Richard Durnford , rector of Middleton , said , Taylor was a hard-working man , and he thought he had been badly used . —Tbe magistrates replied , they had no doubt of it ; and they were of opinion Messrs . Benecca and Co . were not aware of the circumstances of the case , or they would not hava aoted as they had done . —The putter-out being asked why the affair had been taken to Hsslingdea ,

      replied , that it had been taken there at the instigation of the inspector of worsted and his employers . The bench was of opinion the Heslingden magistrates would never have committed Taj lor if they had been made thoroughly acquainted with the case . He ( Taylor ) replied , that his friends followed his brother to Haslingden , bnt on their arrival there ha was committed . It was also stated , that John Turner ^ another weaver at Middleton , and Robert Brifjgs , of Heywood , were also dragged , or conveyed in a VAN TO HASLINGDEN , ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON , AND COMMITTED A MONTH EACH ON SIMILAR CHARGES

      brought by the same firm . The magistrates , who are acquainted with the whole of the ciroumstances connected with Taylor , thought it one of the hardest cases that had ever come before them , and gave orders to Mr . Hunt , solicitor , to lose no time in making the case of Taylor known to the Ha 3-lingden magistrates . They thought Messrs . Beneoca and Co . had acted very wrong in taking tbe case to Haslingden , as the Rochdale magistrates were well acquainted with the circumstances . Taylor , tea understand , is a widower with seven children , aN » BEARS A MOST EXCELLENT CHARACTER . —MancAgStef Guardian , Dec . 6 , 1843 .

      Now , what does the reader think of that ? Could that be matched ! Is there e'er a devil on earth that could- hit on such an infernal scheme of REVENGE as Benecca . and Co . have devised to obtain yenghancb on their poor slaves for successfully resisting their purposed ROBBERY ! Talk of Algiers , and Algerine dispositions ; talk of the tyranny ot the Russian Bear , with his exilements to the wilds of Siberia ; talk of tbe most despotic tyrant that exists , or that history records ; talk of the most cruel , th « moat mean , and tho most base of mankind : talk of all these , and tho Bbneccas outtop them all in utter meanness , despicable dastardly baseness , and fiendish malice .

      O , yes ! the Lords of tha Mill are a " sympathetic' * crew I O , they are careful of the welfaro of those who do the work , and coin their heartstrings into gold . They muzzle not the ox whila he treadeth out the corn . " They would give him " cheap-bread "; aye , even against his will . O , they are considerate , kind-hearted beings ; who can see , and bemoan , and bewail the hardships put upon the labouring aeiculturista , by the

      "tyrant landlords , " " whose cup is filled with blood" ! O , they can snuffle , and sing , and whine and pray ; can look demure , and turn up the eye , and ask for heaven's blessing on " them and theirs "; can cant and blaspheme by outwardly affecting piety , while the heart is as hard as the nether millstons , and tha hands full of iniquity . Base hypocrites ! Whited sepulchres ! Fair outside ; FULL OF ROTTENESS WITHIN !

      We trust that some good Rochdale friend will look out for the conclusion of this case , and apprise us of it . We wait to know what the Haslingden Magistrates will say to the application of Mr , Hunt . We want to hear of the termination . The excellent conduct of Mr . Hunt in this business ought not to be silently passed over . He appeared voluntarily . Great praise ia due to him for so doing . We are sure he will have the grateful thanks of every son of toil who hears of the oase ; and we most heartily accord him oars . One single word in his ear . Will not an action for false imprisonment lie 1 Should it not be tried ! Surely , the people of Rochdale will afford the mean ..

      THE ] LORDS OF 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 ** well-used , " if we are to pay attention to the representations and ] self-glorifications of the said Mill Lords and their toadies ; and when contrasted with the oppressive conduct of tbe "tyrannical , " blood-suoking , " "bread-taxing" "Lords of the Soil . " We have had the robbing practice of Truck to expose , where the sympathising factory master has been so anxious to secure for the

      workmama * che * p \ loaf— [ all for the sake of the poor /} through M free trade , " that he has bound bis slave to trade only jat his shop , and buy hit loaf thirty per cent , dearer than he could purchase it elsewhere . We have had to shew up the u Lord Lotherdales" of the manufacturing districts , who do not pay their men one shilling ( in money ) as wages in twelve months ; but compel them to take cloth at 14 s . a-yard in payment of their starvation wages , even when tho poor defrauded labourer has had to sell it again for 83 . to enable him to get food to eat ! We have

      had to tell of the Devil ' s-Dust practices of the makers of woollen cloths , who cheat the pnblic with their nefarious muck y productions . We have had 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 has been used in the production of wealth for those who now boast ; that " they can bay up the Aristocracy of England" ! We have bad to exhibit the whip , the strap , and the billy-roller ; to tell of tbe ear-pinching ; the hair-pulling ; the suspending by the wrists : the ! standing on one foot : the holding up

      of heavy weights ; and theldipping 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 ot fines , where the hard-earned wages of the toiling slave is remorselessly stolen from him to swell the up-heaped mass of ill-gotten gain that the . master calls his own . We have had to do all this , and much more , whioh cannot now be enumerated , even in a general catalogue like this . We have had to expose a system of 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 ! Bat of ( all that 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 publio eye is surely the most DAMNABLE I Were the records of the whole catalogue [ of buman , atrocity , —perpetrated to the extent of its power , —to be searched from end to end , it would not be possible to match the case that hereafter follows . It exhibits the

      very quintessence of hellish tyranny and ° devilish malignity . It is impossible to conceive of any species of 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 ia the following account , would not have inflicted on their victims , had they had the power , and oould have done it with safety to their own necks ! Tbe spirit of fiendishness iathero - it exhibits itself as fax as it thinks it can safely go !

      Let not the Lord of the Mill , or his Jack-pudding either , turn upjhisnose , and say the account is a Northern Star fabrication , or a Northern Star exaggeration , j Let him not wipe the sweat from off his skin-tight ; brow or his pnrple-dyed nose , and console himself with the affeoted 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 oould not be more foolish than for him so to aet . The account is not

      ours . It comes to us second-hand . It comes from the most unscrupulous advocate of the Mill Lords themselves 1 It is from the pages [ of the Manchester Guardian , and ! therefore we may test assured that not one point in it , to the disparagement or disadvantage of the MONSTERS of the Mill , is over-stated . That every Millocrat throughout the land will be prepared to stake bis existence # n ; and so firmly persuaded are we of the correctness of the assumption , that we dare join them in the penalty .

      Here it is i then . Here is the record of the MONSTERS'I doings . Here is a sample of Milloorats' care for the well-being and comfort of those who create the wealth that makes the Milloorats
