Doncohbb was' very anxious tbat the bill should be c-ad a second time , even it it were not allowed to go any farther daring the present session ; and although ha regretted to have to oppose the wishes of the Secretary of State for the Home Department , he most press for his motion for toe purpose of , at all events , establishing the principle , that this was a subject aw h ' cn . it was necessary for government to interfere .

" Accidental death , aad a recommendation » mine-owners to be more careful for toe iutore . " Ihe greater part of the accidents which took place would be avoided if due precautions were taken , and toe country had a right to demand of government that the adoption of these precautions ahonld be enforced . The protection of miners and hers from the accidents that ' carelessness was now constantly causing , was , however , not toe only object of the bill , bat it was necessary to protect the miners from toe imposition of coal-owners and others .

For some days previous toe men had represented to toe proprietors that toe pit was not in a gife state , and on the morning of toe explosion they went to the man at the bottom of the shaft , and again stated that it was not safe , and wished to leave . He refined , and ordered them back , and in a lew hours afterwards the explosion occurred ; seven
or eight men were brought up , two of wham died immediately , and the lives of toe others were despaired of . It was known that six men . had been left in toe pit , who must be dead . Ihe proprietors were requested to allow persons to go into the pit to see after them ; but they refused and sent down seme ot their own men , who paid a very mysterious visit to toepitandgavenoinfonnation . 'An experienced miner , well known in toe neighbourhood , had volunteered to go down , accompanied by another man , to see { if he could rescue toe persons who were left below , bat their reqtust had been refused—and all this was because they -would be abbs to give evidence before toe coroner ' s inquest .

The Famine Fever And Destitution In Manc...
THE FAMINE FEVER AND DESTITUTION IN MANCHESTER . We regret that we are yet unable to report that tHe fever which , prevails amongst the wretched Iriab immigrants in tbe cellars and lowest lodging-houses , has at all abated . All tbs sanitary efforts employed by the guardians , relieving officers , and the medical and other officers of the fever hospitals and unions on the one band , and tbe admirable system of visitation and prompt relief , by the eight sanitary officers of tho borough police , on the other , with thewttite-¦ waabing and clsanstog carried en under the direction of these officers , have hitherto done bo more than prevent the fever from spreading . Nearly a score of cases have occurred since our last , in which Irish paapers . have been turned ont of Iodides-houses , esoeeially in Little Ireland , aad have
been found by taesanitary police-officers lying in the street , unable to walk , and it has been necessary to send them in carts to the Manchester workhouse , the fever hospitals or elsewhere . In one instance , two ¦ women were found lying ia tbe street , both rery ill , without food or home , and unable to walk . In another , at five o'clock on Saturday afternoon , a poor woman was found lying in Oxford-street , apparently ill from fever , and three children with her , of the ages of fifteen , eleven , and seven years , all in great distress . They bad been thrust out of a lodging boose in Crossley-street . a fortnight before , and had since subsisted on charity , taking their chance « f such shelter as any outbuilding would afford . They were sent to the Chorlton Union Worhhoose .
Stretford New Road . At seven o ' clock on Monday morning last , a man , named Patrick Mauldine , was found lying on tbe steps of the Sight Asylum , sick , destitute , and unable to walk : he was conveyed to tbe workhouse . We shall not multiply instances of this class of cases . The following are oases in which a more prompt femoral is greatly desirable : —A poor Englishwoman , in Back Lamb . Lane , who has lived in Manchester all her life , and whose husband died ten weeks ago , had fever for a fortnight , and is . now somewhat better ; bnt her daughter is still very ill . On the first application made to have her removed to tbe fever hospital , it was stated that tbe Tan bad been broken ; but on a second application tbe
following daya promise was given , to remove her as soon as possible . ' A poor Irishwoman , who has lived twenty-ienr yearsin Manchester , has been deserted by her hmband , and is . left with four children , ages seventeen , fifteen , thirteen , and nine years . Tbe eldest ( a bay ) , a self-acting minder , has been out of work five months , and has been ill of fever five weeks . He was vi > ited by one of the medical officers of the anion on tbe 3 d , 5 th , 16 th , and 24 th inst . and the surgeon then advised that he should be removed to the fever hospital . Tbe police inspector learned that the family had 4 s . weekly from the parish , and this , with afew soup tickets , had been their only support . They were all without food , and he gave them some to the value of Is . Having no bedding , tbey
had nose of them bad their clothes off for many weeks , and were altogether in a very wretched and filthy condition . The case was reported to tbe relieving officers ; and the son was removed to the fever hospital , MinJshaU . atieet , where he was placed in an empty room with some others , until some beds were pot np and made ready for them . The lad after remaining there about an hour , the beds not being then put up , became very cold , and with another fever patient left the hospital and returned home Here he was found on a subsequent visit , by a police inspector ; and , as the family said they had not tasted food since the preceding dav , he supplied them with provisions to the extent ef Is . 6 d . —In a cellar in names Leigh-street , Little Ireland , the sanitary police officer , on Saturday last , found an Irfcluaaa

He procured for them food to the amount of Is . Qi . for their present wants , and reported the case to the relieving officer . They bad not had any relief from the town , except on Tuesday last , when tho man got 2 s . 04 . at the Fountain-street office . On a ,- . ! f ?!!?» w ° ° ? » ora » n & . Smith waaa l , ttie better , but no medical man had Visited them , tboush the , r sickness and distress had been reported 2 oth inst .: and on each of these occasions the police inspectorhad given tnemfoolfor their present wants . -In acellar under No . 48 , Hanover-street , an inspector on Saturday found five persons ill offerer : \
ana nou « u they are receiving relief from the guardians , up te that time no medical officer had visited tnem . ~ In a cellar under Ne . 5 , Simpson-street , eight persons were found ill of fever . — In a dwelling , * . Baker s-court , Baker-street , werefouud , on SaVW-• n * r r man ' w 3 fe » * ni oae of their children , all '" ° « » wer since the preceding Tuesday ; but they had had no medical aid . —Cases of overcrowding still occur . In ahause , No . IS , CayJey-street , which con ? f oc , y tw 0 very ™ ^ om 8 » fiTO families , in all 23 persons , were found in the greatest distress ; none of them receiving relief from the town . One was dead in the house ; another lying sick of fever ; from which several others were slowly recovering . The nei ghbours stated , thai many of them had bad no food since the morning of the day , before , and the sanitary inspectors purchased for their present wants food to the amount of 2 i . llld . and reported the case to the relieving officer of tbedistrict .
Many of the cases of distress are aggravated by the separation of families , the consequence ot the fever . In a place at 12 , Winckley-streef , a poor man , an Irishman , who has been fonr months in Manchester , wasfound with five small children ; his wife being in tbe fever hospital . They had bad nothing to eat since the day before , and were in great destitution , 'f heinspecturaupplicd their immediate wants , by expending Is . 5 Jd . ia food for them . —In a cellar under 75 , Fleet-street , apoorJit r , < » -boy , only seven years of age , was found " { - of the feveiHr «™ ^™ P ^ -fexwptalad of fifteen ; tS & - ? 2 tS 5 r being in the New Bailey , and the mother dead . The poor child bad bad no relief from the guardians , and no medical attendance , and the inspector :
reported thecise totbe relieving officer as one requiring immediate attention .. In another case , four children were found left in a dwelling , of the ages of eleven , seven , and three years , and the youngest only seventeen months ; boihoi whose parents were in the fever hospital .,. All these poor children bad the fever . —In one house in the Old Infirmary Tard , an Irishwoman , who had been twelve months in Manchester , wasfound with her daughter and her sisterin-law , all ill offerer , and no one in the house to attend to them- They bad had relief from the guardians , but much needed medical aid . —An Irishwoman was found in a cellar in Tame-street , whioh she occupied with her four sisters , and tbey bad a man , bis wife , and six children , lodging with them , ;¦• - On
Saturday afternoon , a police sanitary inspector yisiteu them , and foun > i no fewer . than eight persons ill of fever in this crowded and wretched cellar , all the thirteen individuals lying in the front cellar only , whicb is a small one ; They were all lying on a few dirty rags and shavings , on the flagged floor , and were in a ' very filthy and destitute . state . The inspector reported the case to the . relieving . officer of the district . In . one .. case a poor woman ( who had been only ten weeks from Ireland ) , on coming out of thefever hospital , where her husband still remains , found that no one would give shelter to herself and her three children , and she was wandering about . The inspector relieved her with food to the extent of Is . and reported tbe case .
Of course . . "the famine fever" is not the only disease rife in this wretched class of . people . Three cases of small-pox are reported amongst others , in one of which the inspector gave relief in food ; and in a cellar under . 66 , Hanover-street , one youth was found ill of fever and a girl of jaundice ; and though both had been relieved by the guardians , neither had had any medical attendance . The sanitary officer who was ill of febricula , Peter Kearns , now proves to be suffering from small-pox . On inquiry yesterday , we learn tbat the last report of the medical officer of the , police force , dated yesterday morning , shows that there are now five cases of fever amongst the police constables of the A division , all of which have been ascertained to be caused by the attendance of the men at the soup kitchen during the thronging flfttsdoorsby the wretched and diseased applicants . — Manchester Guardian , Wednesday .

JROST , WHXJAM 9 . JtSD 30 R 8 B . . Mr T . Clark called the attention of the committee to tbe necessity of making another attempt to secure the return of their banished friends ; and as the present Parliament was about to expire be thought it an excellent opportunity of testing the liberality of the Whig Cabinet . He also thought that could be done most effectually by a deputation , consisting ex * clusirely of the members of the House of Commons , who have shown themselves friendly to the cause of the exiles , waiting upon Lord John Bussell , and urging upon his ilordship the propriety of allowing the patriots to return to their country . He
would therefore move : — " That this committee take immediate steps to procure a deputation of such members of the House of Commons , 89 may be willing to undertake the mission , to wait upon Lord John Russell aud endeavour to procure the liberation and restoration of John Frost , Zepbaniah Williams , and William Jones .

To ihb EriKcioRS Attn Non-Eieciobsis the Wbsi Rnnso of Yobeshibb . —Fellow-Countrymen ,. the time has now . arrived when it is the duty of every man to come forward and give bis influence and support , whether political or pecuniary , to the promotion of those principles of eternal truth and justice which are alone calculated to effect the political and social redemption of the people . When we reflect on the struggles that . have taken place in the West Riding of Yorkshire in bygone days , at the time of general elections , particularly when those struggles , supported by the working classes , were not intended to benefit them , we cannot help being surprised at the present apathy . Thank God , the days of delusion have in a great measure passed away , and the
true light of political equity is now ' shining in meridian splendour . The object of this appeal is to urge upon the wealth-creating working classes to prepare against the approaching crisis in our political affairs , the general election . It is expected that parliament will be dissolved in a very short time ; in fact , candidates are already in the field , and then men will be returned for seven years , either the friends to the rights and liberties of the people , or their enemies . Great parties are already marshaling their strength . One of these parties is the Aristocratic party , and the other the ^ Democratic party , or , ia other wotds , the party of the people . The first great party is divided into two sections , called Tory and Whig . The Tory will seek your support
and suffrages in support of the " constitution . "lie will tell you of the glorious success of our fleets and armies , the celestial union of church and state , and the wisdom of our forefathers . The Whig will talk glibly of " the progress of civil and religious liberty , " and will hesitate at nothing in the way , of humbug , if he only can secure the support of the people . Never let the people forget that it was the Whigs that passed the New Poor Law Amendment Act ; who transported the Dorchester labourers , and Glasgow cotton-spinners , and who have been the ancompromising persecutors of tbe Chartists in their godlike struggle for liberty .: Will you , the working men , support aristocracy , whether Tory or Whig , and fall down and worship them ? Will you support
thundering standing armies to keep you in slavery , and an unparalleled national debt , and all to uphold the '' glorious constitution of church and state ? " Will you support bast i / cs and low wages ? Will you any longer shout for lon ! s and lordlings ? Oh no , we trust we shall hear you exclaim in a voice of thunder that cannot be misunderstood : " None shall have our support that will not give us the Charter ; or , in other words , the power of self-government ' . " Halifax , Bradford , Leeds , and man ; other places , have now candidates in the field pledged to the Charter ; but these will merit our support , our pecuniary support . There
are many places in the West Riding which have not the great privilege of voting for members of parliament , but would be willing to contribute their mite to assist their fellow-patriots in their struggle with despotism ; for this purpose , a West Riding delegate meeting will be held at Bradford , on the 4 th day of July , and we earnestly hope that every locality will send a delegate with full power to form , a fund to assist onr friends in the different boroughs in their struggle against tyranny . Walter Lacy , - West-Riding Secretary , Cleckhe & ton , near Leeds . P . S . I should thank all the local secretaries to send me their address .
. Thk Victim Fuso Committee asd thk Victims *—To the Editor of the Northern Star . — Sib , — Tbe Victim Fund committee wish you to allot them a small space of ihs Star , to explain to their subscribers , that tbey think it most unadvisable ; to keep making subscriptions for individual victims'to the detriment of equally deserving and necessitous persons . The committee have hitherto made a fair and equitable division of all monies that have been received by them , amongst several worthy and deserving patriots ; but recently , subscriptions . have been made for particular individuals , which has L'ivoh
rise to much dissatisfaction . Tbe committee therefore hope , that in future those friends that are in tho habit of subscribing their mite in aid of individuals , will send the money to the general fund , so that all may share alike . —On behalf of tbe committee , Tuomas Clauk , Secretary . London , June 24 , 1847 . Simon . —A camp meeting was held here oh Saturday evening last , at six o ' clock , Wm . Emmett in the chair . Mr Ernest Jones addressed the meet . ing , whose emaciated appearance bore full testimony to tbe necessity for political reforms , audi whose spirit showed they were determined to obtain it .

Trades' Movements^; V ; ; The Truck Syst...
TRADES' MOVEMENTS ^; V ; THE TRUCK SYSTEMiTsTAFFdRbsHIIlE ( From the Mnm ^ Advom ^ . )\' y ' ' ' ; There is a " monster evil" that deserves " exposurenamely , the swihdling . Jtlegnl , truck , or toinray-sliop system ; and we now ' propbseto cxaminejt ' s workiijgs and effects . Wemay remark , e » passant , that the truck system is . not cohfinedto Staffordshire , " it is practised in a small degree in Lancashire , ' by some coal masters oi their dependants . ; in Yorkshire , Derbyshire , dtc- ; and to a great extent , among some of the coal and iron-works in Scotland and Wales . Most of our readers will know what . the truck system is ., fhe nranticH is to onen a shobi arid to . supply the colliers
with flour ; meal , groceries , meat , and even shoes ; hats , ' and all kinds of wearing apparel . These shops are kept by the masters ; lot parties who are acting " under the rose" tor them . The goods are charged at these " tommy-shops" " generally about 20 per cent , above' the market price , and are almost . invariably of an inferior quality , and the workmen are compelled , either directly or . indirectly , to . deal at such shops ; while , inmany instances , the wages of the collier ' s are stepped in payment for such good / . To such ati' extent ia this scandalous ; practice carried oh , that colliers have been , lor months toge . ther , without a penny of wages ! If they wanted any article not sold at" the shop" they were compelled to exchfln « e " tomrav" for it : if they bad the rent ,
the dootor , or the shoemaker to pay . they were compelted to pay them in " goods !" , We may ; be \ told that the practice in uhlawful-that the parties who keep these shops ; and ' supply ; their workmen witb goods ,.-subject " themselves' to heavy penalties . Granted . But who so ; w . ell knows how tferade the law , e ' r slyly to crefep thrbiigh ' an ' Act of Parliament , as a coal-master ? -We may here remark , that to the honour of coabowners in Northumberland and Durham , the infamous practice is not followed there . The plan adopted to evade the law is , to put , another party in" the shop" to keepit in their name ; and as they know the Act ' 6 f Parliament ' . insists that workmen ' s wages shall be paid in the current coin of there" ! . ?' - they ' oav ' them in a room beyond the tohand
' shop , and , as they pass tbrougn , theyiim . itover ; to the shopman ! That is , they havovtiw honour to have possession of their ; wages about five minutes , often ; not two !' . ' ' J ¦'"" . '" . We observed iniwr dast that there were ' about 24 ; O 0 D . min « rs In Staffordshire ; suppose eight thousand out of the twenty-four are compelled to deal at these . ¦ ' . ' tommy-shops , " aiid that they only ' expend ten shillings per week , and that the profit derived from the ' shop ; amounted to only twenty per cent .- ; but * -we have documents lying' before us - proving ' thatthey oftenrealise much moi-e . However , say twenty per cent . This is five years would amount to the enormous ' suin of £ 208 , 0001 Thus , in a few years , the truck masters '
would realise retiring fortunes , all , be it remembered , screwed out of the hard-earned pittance of the unfortunate collier . But why talk of their " expending only 10 s . per week , when it'is well-known that all the men ' s wages nreawallbwed up by the unsatisfied truck master . ' Need we ' ask , is it possible for the colliers to improve their condition while "they are chained down by such a swindling Bystem ' as' this ? Improvement under siichcircumstence * is impossible : that \ i t permanent improvement . This horrid incubus must be shook off—this blood-sucking vampire must be destroyed ; the law must be obeyed before we can expect to improve—healthily improve—the collier's condition . Miners of Staffordshire ! can' you contentedly , passively , allow yourselves to be thus to be
robbed , ^ pur rights tratnpled upon , hnd yet call yourselves Englishmen" ? -Do jou not'know that Union ^ alone can ' successfully grapple' with " trucks shops , " and every other evil under which ' you suffer , and by which you 'are bound down fybur improvement . impeded ; and your best friends' exertions to ameliorate your ' condition paralysed ? ' Cah ybu ' see your children , the wives of your bosomV ' tbus basely ribbed , and insulted too , without ' aheffort oh your part to save and ' protect them ? ¦ What ' . ' because your former Unions have been painful failures on account ofthe basis upon which they were fonnded , " " or from their local and sectwnal character , arc you never to try again to stem the mountain' torrent of oppression ? Will you sit down with folded arms , and " cowar'dlv
allow iron-hoofed tyranny to ride uhresistinijly ' ovef you ? Do you not know that few , even ina good and holy cause , are seldom successful in the first triaV- ^ that to obtain success in any great movement , prudence , confidence ; justice , and , above all ; union and perseverance , are' necessary ? Then ; once ' more to the rescue ! Once more join the Miners ' Association , which will protect youj and notsuffer ' you tobeplun . dered without not only opposing , but exposing It ? plunderer . - ' " "¦¦ ' ¦ ''; " ';''*""' The immense suras which yoti are plundered of would establish , in a few years , provision' shops of TOonow » in every colliery village , where you could be supplied with every article you want , and then the profits would be divided among yourselves , instead of being swallowed tip by the insatiate " tommy" vulture . Still , none of these things can be accomplished
without Union ; without union you are powerless , with it you would be all-powerful . Union would teach yeu the value of restriction of labour ; of co-operation ; would show you the power of men acting for and with , instead against each other ; in fine , it would be unto you a tower of strength and defence , and lead you on to gain knowledge—to improve your minds ; for if Union is Strength , it is no less true that Knowledse is Power . Wo have long been convinced that one of the most important points to be attended to by any Union , Was the improvement of the'minds of its members , and that no Union could be eminently sue cessful which did not make sound instruction to its members one ef its primary objects ; however , not having spaceto discuss this all-important subject in our present number , . we shall return to it again at a future period : ' v ¦;¦ - ' ' - -v

Smitufieid , Monday , June 28 . —There were on sale here , this morning , about 160 foreign beasts , . 8 being from Spain ; 800 do of sheep and lambs , and 40 do . of calves . Nearly the whole were rold at full prices . From our Off * grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up tMsmorf ) . ing ' were moderately good as to ' number , '• but of very mid . dling quality ; The weather beingsomewhatvmfavourablB for slaughtering , the beef tiade was by no means brisk ; yet , the primest Scots , Deyons , and runts , from their scarcity , moved off steadily at fully , but at nothing quot . able beyond , the prices obtained on Munday last , the prlmcst Scots producing from 5 s to 5 s 2 d per 8 B »; but all other kinds were a'slow sale , and previous rates were
with difficulty supported . ' However , previous to tho close of ' business , a good clearance , was effected . > . The droves from Norfolk , Suffolk , Essex ,, mid Cambridgeshire , comprised about 1 , 100 Scots , homebreds , and shorthorns ; while from the western and midland districts wo received 750 Ilerdbvds , runts , Devoris , & c : ; from other parte of England , 600 of various breeds ; arid from Scotland , 220 horned and polled Scots . On the whole , we were fairly supplied with sheep , the geiieralcondition of which was excellent ; yet the numbers . were not equal to those e % -. hibited here at the corresponding . , period . last year Nearly all breeds were in good request ; but we can notice no alteration iu the currencies . The priinest old downs readily produced 5 s < ldper 8 B > , and most of the supply was cleared off . TUe wwaber of lambs was seasonably extensive . Still , however , the lamb trade was' firm , and
the quotations obtained on this day se'nniglit were freely supported . ' The best down qualities sold at 6 s 4 d per 8 tt > . The supply of calves being large the veal trade was heavy at prices barely equal to those paid last week . Prime small pins moved steadily off . Otherwise thepork trade was in a depressed state .

London , June 28 . —Tho public sales haTa-oloscd some , what more firmly than they commenced j but uo . improvement can bo noticed in the quotations . Since Monday last the imports of wool have amounted , to 1 , 450 bales from Port Philip , 800 do from Sydney , and 8 tu d » from various other quarters . The private contract trade is heavy , at barely stationary prices .
, COTTOK . , Livehpooi , Monday , Juno 28 . —The Hibernia arrived this morning . There is nothing whatever new in the accounts , the only change In the week ; being a decrease in the receipts of 5008 bags . Our market to day has been very animated ,, tho tcade buying with much spirit , and this , added to a few demand $ oto speewlatovs and exporters , has swelled the salo up to 10 , 000 bags , 7000 being for consumption . .

™ . to-day has been the dullest we have witnessed for several months past . It was nearly noon before any onyers made their appearance , and even when they were offering lower prices for all sorts of : goods ; in most instances , manufacturers were obliged to submit to the I prices offered . Tho wool market was exceedingly flat ; hainiloom flannel operatives have scarcely' anything to do , and their wages are miserable in the extreme . Leicesteb . —There is a tendency towards an improvement in the demand for goods , and some hosiers have partially set on their hands again . There has been n . ora doing in yarns ata slight reduction in price ; the spiunerg still work short time , and complain of not being able to purchase wools to meet tho prices yarns are selling for .
Nottingham . —The cotton hosiery trade has improved . This change for tho better is not , however , very percept ! - ble at present . In several villages the greater part of the stockingers arc out of work , and in some cases are set to level hills and such liko labour . The fancy bobbing net trado continues in a very despairing condition , not only , in this country , but also in France and Germany , ? , s machine luce is not now held in the estimation it has be ' . m . fhe prices offered for nets are in many instances ruinous so as to prevent all speculation , and leave the nip , chine owners no alternative but to decline making . The , cotton warp lace trado is in a deplorable state , and so ' . ne ofthe smaller houses arc turning their attention to b /> bbin . net . Uiesilk warpbranch is rather better than the cotton , and seems likely to continue so .
