      From Preston , Worcester , Ashton , and other places , we have teeeired large remittances for the Land Fund oa Friday morning , too late for publica fion . WemenfionthisJestaDyanxietymayprerail ia those districts until the announcement of the respective suras ; and it is not only creditable , cheering , and honourable , but worthy of all commendation , to be able to state that of the numerous working men acting as treasurers and secrecretaries to this enormous fund , not a single farthing has been abstracted , and not a single complaint has ever reached the directors . "Who will dare to say , then , that the working-classes are not capable of managing their own affairs !

      Uote . —It is just as easy to transmit the funds on Thursday morning as on Friday morning ; and again we have to request theebserrance of this simple rule

      To The Members Of The Chartist Co-Operat...

      TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHARTIST CO-OPERATIVE LAND ASSOCIATION . Mt Dear Fkiksds , —No General , in addressing bis troops upon the eve of a sanguinary conflict with their fellow-men , about some baubled privilege of their oppressors , ever felt half that pride that I shall feel in addressing you in the Carpenters' Hall on Sunday night , the 12 th of April , upon the eve of England ' s regeneration . I am glad to find that a delegate meeting has been called , to assemble at Manchester on that day . I propose making one of the tea party on Good Friday , in Carpenters' Hall ; and after the ballot on Monday I will address the

      people of Oldham in their hall . On the whole , next Easter week onght to betheproudest Easter holidays that ever the Lancashire men spent . Ton will see , by Wednesday ' s Summary , that I was offered , as a first bid , £ 2 , 000 for the land that cost us £ 1 , SG 0 . This , I hope , will give you some confidence in ray judgment . While , in order that all , even the suspicions , may have confidence in our practice , I and my brothers of the Executive invite their attendance dur ing the time of taking the ballot in Carpenters ' Sail , in order that they may see how the business of the working men is conducted .

      It would really gladden your hearts to read the numerous letters that I receive from all parts of the kingdom relative to this growing subject . Seme persons who hate Chartism , neverthele ss tisetheLaird project as an argument to prove that it would destroy Chartism . InowtellyoawhateverymaninEngland knows , that hadit not beeaferthe Land project , Chartism would have been dead , and the people sold irrevocably to their oppressors . They tried preaching exclusive dealing , speaking , turn-outs , and many other experiments which the poor who work were told was Chartism ; but the Chartist mind of the kingdom had been long seeking the way from the house of bondage , and it only required to have the sure road pointed out , to follow it .

      There are a . great many collateral subjects yet to betaken into consideration—such as education , insurance company , and loan society—which of course the directors and delegates will enter into at Manchester . But there is one subject of a negative character , which I have before mentioned , and to which I shall again draw your attention ; I mean the insertion of such conditions in each lease as will prevent our new-Lorn moral society relapsing into the filth , depravity , and roguery which now characterise

      society . Imean , that there shall be an express clause against leasing er selling to a banker , a parson , a distiller , a brewer , a pawnbroker , or for the purpose of carrying on the business of selling spirits or malt drink , or leasing to any person practising in any department in the legal profession . This latter condition may appear strange when we have a solicitor for our treasurer ; bnt we must bear in mind that be Is a glorious exception , and that w e must not frame our rules upon exceptions .

      While I am pent up in a stinking lodging-house for six whole days in the week , I long for a breath of fresh air ; besides , I long to make myself more osefoL I long to be surrounded by tbe little children of * hundred virtuous labourers—to read to them , to teach them , and to learn from them . I want to see them playing about their own fields , and living upon the industry of their own parents , without being subject to the horrid dominion of tyrant masters . I want to be in a situation to invite some Members of Parliament to New England , and I want to be able to show them a hundred freemen of my own making , and their hundred happy families . Well , then , do ;

      yon think anymonareh on earth will have as good a tight to be proud as I shall have when I see this first colony ? Does it ever strike you , my friends , of the difficulty of inculcating a knowledge of a new science in a country at a time when the governing mind of that country was wholly set upon diffusing metaphyseal knowledge uponanew science of commerce , speculation , and plunder of every kind ? Do yon ever reflect . upon the fact , that five years ago , nay , two years ago , not one in a thousand who are now thirsting after knowledge of agriculture , then knew

      anything about the land ? And is not this education and progress in the right direction ? While , to those who have attempted to persuade you that the Land project would kill Chartism , I answer—has their duty as directors prevented the present Executive from discharging their duties to the Chartist body with more profit , activity , and success than those duties were ever performed before the establishment of the Land project ? I tell you that Chartism and Landism are 33 the Siamese twins , so bound up together in life and interest , that it will be impossible to separate them without endangering the life of both .

      Now , I would ask , what possible peg , except the Xasd , Chartism can hang its hope upon ? What would possession of representation be if not directed to the emancipation of labour ? , And how , in the present state of commerce and manufactures , can labour 'be free otherwise than by giving to each , in his INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY , the power of exercising his { labour , which is his capital , for his own sole benefit ? As soon as this project of ours is ripe for attack , then it will be honoured with discussion ; and don't I long to get up as a mere mute upon the platform , and point to the appearance of the free Jabucrerin comparison with the . slave ? Don ' t I long to exhibit the innocent children , uncontaminated by vice , brought up under the guardianship of their own parents , as a comparison with those who are brought « p under the cursed rule of monopoly ?

      In the address of the Poles , now struggling for the regeneration of their country , they see the necessity of holding out the expectation of possessing their satire soil as an inducement to fight against their oppressors . What a reflection the success of our undertaking will be upon those who have pocketed millions upon millions of the poor Irishmen ' s money , while famine , pestilence , and death are the only fruits they have reaped from , their generosity Alas ! if all the monies squandered in bombastic patriotism had been expended in thepnrchase of Irish

      land , to be leased for ever to the Irish people , not a sod of the country would now be in the possession of the proud alien invader . Ireland might have boasted of a national militia of one million fighting men , with ire * hearts and UiMSRAIVDED ARMS , who could not bejiept prisoners in their own hovels from an hour before sunset till sunrise , and who would be better defenders of theirfaith , their country , and their home ? , [ than the sentinels they pay for watching their weakness and taking advantage of their credulity .

      Yihz & should be the dearest object of a man ' s life ? Sbou'd it not be to leave the world better than he found it ? And if I expire after I have located even * rc hundred men in their own castles , with land rom which none can disinherit them , may I not , after setting an example that nations may follow , say with myla't breath , THANK GOD , I HAVE LEFT THE WORLD BETTER THAN I POUND IT ? Jfy friends , the object of most men is to live as wel as they can in this world , regardless of everything

      save tiicir own comfort , while my only comfort and enjoyment , regardless of self , is devising means for your elevation . I shall now take my leave for the present , looking anxiously forward to Easter week when I trust to be rewarded for my poor exertions on y ^ ur behalf . The time for taking possession of the Ricimanswtrth estate will be duly notified to all who are anxious to join in the ceremony , when a Committee will be formed for the purpose of managing tee proceedings .

      I know that thousands are anxious to join in the jubilee ; and to prove to you that the mind of this country is not depraved , many hundreds who were h the habit of making a purse annually to visit Ep-

      som races , have determined upon applying it this year in regaling themselves upon the people ' s first estate . Who , then , will say that hours diverted from excessive toil would be devoted to drunkenness and dissipation , if the honest labourer had a fair inducement to apply them to his own advantage ? As sub-treasurer , I shall be prepared to submit my accounts to the delegates at Manchester , and by that time I hope to be able to shew between £ 6 , 000 and £ 1 , 000 placed to the credit of our treasurer in the bank ; thus , in les 3 than ten months , we shall have realised more than I dared to ho pe the Society would possess in two years . I remain , my Friends , Tour faithful Friend and Servant , F * arou 3 O'Cossob .

      \ THE POLISH INSURRECTION . [ Continued from our Stventh . Page . ] The Universal German Gazette publishes accounts from Posen of the 11 th instant . All the small towns of the Grand Duchy had been occupied by the military . The Catholic college of Pryemezno had been closed by the authorities in consequence ot a revolutionary spirit having been found to exist in it . Prisoners were daily being brought into the town . One half of the persons arrested are said to have been sent into Silesia . Itwas reported that the Russian and Austrian troops in Cracow could not agree , and that the civilians were iriattd with great shietity . The government alone issued passports . Paris , Tctbdat . The journals contain no new facts of importance on the subject of the Polish insurrection . The absence of correct and detailed information on the affair occasions general surprise in Paris .

      The Reforms observes , that— " If the Polish insurrection had been suppressed , the northern governments would have hastened to announce it with great pomp . If the insurrection was suppressed , the Austrians would not be obliged to send 40 , 000 men intoGallicia . If the insurrection had been suppressed , we should have been told what had become of the insurrectionary columns whose march is attested by their bold action . We should have been told that one column was defeated on such a day , or that it had been compelled to lay down its arms . The names of the victorious generals would have been announced , and we should have known the number of victims . The organisers of the massacres at Tarnow would not hare scrupled to terrify the population by sanguinary executions . " Prince Adam Czartoryski had arrived at Brussels from Paris . Paris , Wbdkxsdat . THE INSURRECTION NOT PUT

      DOWNPROGRESS . The Reforms states that the accounts received relative to the Polish Insurrection are but few , but that they are excellent : — The movement in Samogitia and in Courland is confirmed . " At Pragae , " says the Augibarg Gazetts , " Poles who were studying in that city all' disappeared , with the exception of two . " A letter from Breslau , dated the 10 th instant , relates , that during an engagement which took place on the frontiers of Russia , several soldiers of Polish origin quitted the Russian ranks and joined the insurgents . The Gazette e / Vow contains a letter , dated foenigsburg , the 7 th hutant , which announces that the Polish insurgents crossed the Prussian I frontier near Ortelsoourj , and captured 70 S muskets in ! that town . This fact proves that the insurrection wa ) making progress in Poland .

      The executive committee appointed to administer the subscriptions received by the National and the lieforme to aid the Polish insurgents , publishes an address to the Poles , recommending them to unite in whatever country they may have been cast by the storms of revolution , and to form but one band . The committee next reminds the French nation that 400 , 000 Poles died on the field of battle fighting heroically with France against coalesced Europe , ' and calls on the country to aid their descendants in their present glorious struggle . The Nationalstates that the subscriptions received for the Polish insurgents by the Paris journals , together with 43 provincial journals , amount to a sum of 88 , 523 f . 55 c . An address signed by about 400 Polish refugees , was distributed on Tuesday to the Peers and De puties . In this addressthe sympathy of the members of the two Chambers iu behalf of the Polish cause is warmly appealed to .

      The performances at the theatre of Toulouse were interrupted on the 14 th by a number of persons calling for and singing in chorus the Marseillaise and the Vanovienne . The disturbance at length became so violent that the curtain was dropped , and after the arrest of some of theperturbators , the theatre was cloared by the police .

      JIEETEO ? OF THE GERMAN DEHOCBATIC SOCIETY . On Saturday evening , March 14 th , the members of the " German Democratic Society for the Instruction of the Working Classes , " held a special meeting in their room , Great Windmill-street , for the purpose of considering the important struggle going on in Poland , and expressing their sympathy with the gallant Polish patriots . The room was most inconveniently crowded , and the most earnest interest exhibited by all present . The meeting was addressed

      by several speakers , who detailed the progress of the insurrection , and the noble stand made by the patriots in Cracow and other parts of Poland . The proposition to commence a subscription in support of the Poles was received with the utmost enthusiasm , and the sum of four pounds ten shillings and sixpence was immediately contributed by thememberspresent Besides which the members declared themselves ready to make any and every sacrifice to serve the cause of liberty , and promote the triumph of their Polish brethren . The events in Poland have excited a . great sensation amongst the German democrats in London .

      MEETING OF THE PRATEHNAL DEMOCRATS . On Sunday evening , March 15 th , the usual meeting of this body was holden in the above room , which was crowded with democrats belonging to nearly all the states of Europe . About half-past six o ' clock , John Shaw was called to the chair , and briefly opened the proceedings . For the purpose of maintaining the character of the assembly , and preventing the intrusion of improper persons . A resolution was proposed , seconded , and unanimously adopted to the effect , that the namesof the fraternaldemocrats be enx »] led ; that after the present meeting , persons wishing to join the assembly shall be admitted only upon the recommendation of two members , sanctioned by the vote of a majority ; bnttbat each member may introduce a friend en giving his name to the chairman , such friend not to be allowed to take any part in

      the proceedings so long as he is not a member . Any " rules or regulations , " excepting the above , were deemed to be unnecessary , as was also any fixed payments , it being thought that money was unnecessary except for special purposes , when voluntary contributions would he sufficient , each democrat contributing ' according to his means . On the question of appointing officers , it was considered that neither council nor committee was necessary , the " Fraternal Democrats" not being a society or party , but merely an assemblage of men belonging to different countries , for the purpose of mutual information . The appointment of permanent secretaries for the purpose of authenticating all documents issued to the public , was , however , considered necessary , and six secretaries were elected—British , German , French , Slavonian , Scandinavian , and Swiss .

      G . Jcliax Habket reported , that in accordance with the instructions of the previous meeting , the "Address to the Working Classes of Great Britain and the United States" had been sent to a number of the British journals , including all the London daily papers , and that the only journal which had published the address was the Nortliem Star . ( Hear , hear . ) The address had also been sent to several American journals . He had the pleasure to inform themecting that , as some compensation for the shameful conduct of the London press , he had received a letter from an eminent literary character , whose name was not merely English but European , indeed was known and admired throughout the civilised world . G . J . H . read the letter , which warmly extolled the" Address . " The letter elicited much applause . Charles Keex then proposed the following resolution : —

      That the Northern St ar having published the " Address of the Internal Democrats to the People of Great Britain and the United States , "is entitled to our thanks ; and that paper being the only one thathasgiven publicity to the said address , is an additional reason for us rccoinmending it to the working classes of Europe as a true re ureswitativc of dtmocraticpiineinles .

      Cam . ScHAPPMj 3 econded the resolution ; which was unanimously adopted . _ G . Julian Habnbt said , that at the previous meeting he had given notice of his intention to bring before the present assembly the subject of " the War in India . " Circumstances , however , rendered it necessary to postpone that subject , and instead , to take into consideration the insurrection in unhappv Poland . ( Hear , hear . ) G . J . H . then commented at considerable length on the facts of the insurrection , in the course of which he highlypraised the manifesto issued by the Provisional Government at Cracow , as being based on principles which alone could render the Poles free , great , and happy . He concluded by proposing , " That it is highly desirable

      that a public manifestation on the part of the British people , of sympathy with the Polish patriots , be exhibited as speedily as possible ; and that this meeting commence a subscription forthwith . " Carl Scuappkr seconded the motion . He spoke at some length on . the wrongs of Poland , andthe duty of all true democrats giving their hearty support to the Polish patriots . He concluded by announcing that the German Society had commenced a subscription on the previous evening , and that although all the members were working men , and many of them out of employment , they had already contributed four pounds ten shillings and sixpence . ( Great applause . ) A subscription was then entered into , and £ 2 2 s . 3 d . collected . It should be stated that all the Fraternal

      Democrats are working men , and many of them , as members of the German Society , had contributed on the previous evening . An eminent Polish refugee next addressed , thai meeting , thanking the democrats for their sympathy , and assuring them that the present revolution , if successful , would result in the triumph of democratic principles . ; .-. ' . Carl Schaffkr said , that as the monies contributed in France for the Polish cause were sent to the public journals which advocated the cause , he proposed , therefore , that the monies contributed at this meeting should be sent to the A crtftera Star , the proprietor of which paper should be requested to hold the monies as treasurer . He was authorised to say that the members of the German Society would also send to the Nortiiem Star the money contributed bj them . ( Applause . )

      Brother Moll seconded the motion , which was unanimously adopted . It was announced that the South London Chartists were already bestirring themselves , and contemplated holding a meeting on an early day in support of the Polish cause . This announcement was warmly received , and a deputation was appointed to offer the co-operation of the Fraternal Democrats . The meeting then adjourned till Tuesday evening .

      MEETING OF THE FRENCH DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY . At the usual weekly meeting of the French Democratic Society , held in the above room , on Monday evening , March 16 th , the subject of the insurrection of Poland was brought under the consideration of the members , who testified the greatest enthusiasm in behalf of their Polish brethren . A subscription was commenced , and two pounds ten shillings subscribed . Vive la Cologne ! ADDBESS OP THE FRATERNAL DEMOCRATS ASSEMBLING IN LONDON , TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN .

      "All men are Inform " Fbiesds Asn Brothers , —The long-oppressed , long-suffering Polish people are again in arms for the recovery of their independence and liberty . The wrongs of bleeding Poland plead "trumpettongued" for your sympathy for her gallant children . Our fathers basely permitted an act of injustice which will for ever remain the shame of the eighteenth century , —the dismemberment of Poland . The present generation are commanded by every principle of justice to aid the gallant Polish people in redeeming the crimes and errors of the past . When , in 1830 , the Poles rose against the Muscovite miscreant , your sympathies were immediately awakened and warmly expressed . But , unfortunately , you were at that time led by a mock-liberal

      government , who , affecting to adopt the policy of peace and non-intervention , made that policy the pretext for withholding from Poland that efficient aid you would generously have accorded . At that time the great body of the people—the proletarianstook part in political questions merely as the blind instruments of the classes above them . Ambitious aristocrats and scheming bourgeoisie excited the people by party cries attd factious watchwords . to expend their strength in the pursuit of delusive measures , which , when obtained , gave to a few aristocrats place , and to the bourgeoisie power , but which were worse than valueless'to the proletarians . Your

      position b now very different . You are no longer under the leadership of the middle class ; you lead yourselves . You have now orators of your own . Governments are constrained to at least treat your sentiments with respect , and no decided public opinion can be created without your sentiments being largely represented therein . Working men of Britain , you have now a power that you possessed not in 1830 ; we appeal to you to cxercise , that power in behalf of unhappy Poland . We appeal to all classes of the British people to give their sympathy and assistance to the Polish cause ; but we appeal to the proletarians specially , because the cause of Democratic Poland ia their

      cause ; and because bitter experience convinces us that the cause of genuine liberty in Poland has but few , Very few friends among the privileged classes of this country . It is not necessary that we should dwell on-the horrors of despotic rule in Poland . Despite Siberia and Spielberg , the Russian knout and the German censorship , the abominations of tyranny ooze out ; and scarcely a day passes that Western Europe is not horrified at the recital of atrocities committed by the Tsar and his worthy partners in tyranny , the Kasirs of Austria and Prussia . Remember , Britons , that besides the thousands who have perished in battle and by the miseries engendered by war , besides these , innumerable victims have been judicially

      murdered , or indiscriminately massacred . That thousands of Poland ' s sons have suffered more than death in being reduced to slavery in the ice-bound wastes of Siberia , or compelled to serve their tyrant in the ranks of his armed slaves . That thousands have been driven into exile , many of them perishing of want or by suicide . That even women and children have been subjected to the moat hellish barfyivities , too horrible to be described . Remember these things ; remember that the religion , language , literature , customs , manners , and feelings of the Polish people have been systematically and ceaselessly outraged ; and ask yourselves , is it not a sacred duty enjoined upon you , and the people of Europe generally , to bring this reign of crime and wrong to an end ? If you ask what can you do ? we answer , thunder

      in the ears of thegovernment your will , that they should save Poland from the robber , the tyrant , and the executioner . In that you may not succeed , because the government is not the government of the British people ; but you will at least prove to Europe that if Poland is enslaved it is not with your consent . Prove your sympathy with the Polish people , not merely by speech-making and petitions , but also by pecuniary contributions for the promotion of the good cause . In specially appealing to the working classes we are not unmindful of their poverty , and the many claims upon their generous feelings , but the pennies of the proletarians will be welcomed as gratefully by every Pole as though those pennies were pounds ; for , whether small or large , the contributions will evidence your sympathy .

      Our German and French brothers are united with us in this demonstration . The members of the Executive Committee of the National Charter Asso ciation have offered their generous co-operation . The Chartists of London have already exhibited the best spirit , and , simultaneously with ourselves , have taken up this important question . A committee has been formed , embracing the members of the Chartist Executive , and next week will see the commencement of a series of demonstrations in London , of a Oioroughlydemocraticdtaracter , which , if followed up by the people of Britain generally , cannot fail to greatly influence the fortunes of Poland . People of Great Britain , wc request you to hold public meetings in support of the Polish cause . Wc request you to contribute your pecuniary aid , and to transmit all sums collected to-the Northern . Star .

      In Germany , the people everywhere sympathise with Poland , and can with difficulty be rcstraineu from uniting with the Poles in combatting against their oppressors . In France , the most general sympathy is manifested by all classes . In Britain , let the like spirit be exhibited . Fling away fraiu you the reproach that you are " a nation oi shopkeepers . " Show that you arc a nation of patriots , whose patriotism is not that of selfishness , but of humanity , not confined to yourselves , but embracing the whole human race . Poland appeals to the world for succour , let not the people of Britain be the last to aid . Forwards ! Signed by the Secretaries , G . Julian . Harsey . Gael Schawek . Jean Axoustise Miciieloi .

      fWisS 'OF ' TS . OE ^ RAL ASSOCIATION p > W 'OF LONDON TRADES , tie Societies and Operatives generally of Great Bri'" tain and Ireland ^ in behalf of the Carpenttn and Joiners of Manchester andits Vicinity . Fellow Workmen , —In appealing to you for support in behalf-of the carpenters and joiners of Manchester , we deem it necessary to give a brief statement of their position and the causes that led to the present strike . . The carpenters of Manchester have for many years had an established rule to work fifty-nine hours per week in the summer and fifty-two in the winter . ; For the last two years the employers have been agitating the . question of an equalization of the hours throughout the year , by which means the fluctuations that have existed in the trade , and have been ; so injurious both to theemnloverand theemployed , should

      be obviated ; they , therefore , with the workmen unanimously agreed in autumn last , that this desirable object should be carried into effect by commencing work at seven o ' clock on the mornings of Monday and at six every other morning during the week , and leave work at six each evening except Saturday , then to leave off at twelve at noon , making . fifty-seven hours per week the year round ; tothisarrangenicnis they have adhered throughout this winter . The workmen knowing that their trade was in a flourishing state , and consequently ah advance of wages had been given in many districts , and knowing also thatin other trades an increase of wages hud been effected , 'or the hours of labour curtailed , they gave notice to their employers on the 1 st of January for an advance of sixpence per day , to commence en the 1 st of March .

      To which notice they received no answer until they were invited by advertisement to attend a meeting of the employers , held on February 27 th , 1846 , when , after the deputation had waited four hours , the following note was handed to them , " the employers refusing them an audience : "ANSWER OF THE CARPENTERS AND JOINERS 10 THB

      DEPUTATION OF JOURNEYMEN . " That in consideration of the working hours being as follows , viz .: —Sixty hours during the week the year round , with the exception of the outdoor hand . * , who shall work from light to dark in winter , the pay to begin at four o ' clock on Saturday as formerly ^ " The masters are willing on the above conditions to give the journeymen carpenters and joiners an advance of 2 s . per week . " —Albion Hotel , February 2 ? , 1846 . The proposition of the employers , when submitted to the journeymen , was unanimously rejected by

      them , well knowing the great evil of increasing the number of working hours , and thereby producing a surplus in the labour market . The consequence was the whole of the men agreed to turn out on the Monday , when sixty of the smaller employers immediately gave the advanced wages , and the men are at work ; but the larger masters being combined together in an association , and trusting more to their long purses than the justice ot their cause , refuse to alter their decision . There are consequently 1 , 300 men out on strike at the present time .

      The Central Association having given a short review of the present position of the Manchester Carpenters ( who have ever been ready to render assistance in similar cases ) , beg most earnestly to appeal to the working classes throughout the United Kingdom in their behalf , trusting that they will genurously lend their utmost assistance to enable this deserving body ot men to obtain what they are how justly struggling for—ra ., a fair remuneration for their toil , and to prevent an increase of the hours oi labour . By order of the Association , John Bush , Carpenter , Chairman . Thomas Barratt , Corkcutter , Secretary . Since the above was in type , the masters in the other branches of the building trades have discharged all their men , to prevent them assisting the carpenters .

      All communications to be made to Mr . John Bush , No . 1 , York-street , York-road , London ; or to Mr . James Levcns , 17 , Devonshire-street , Hulme , Manchester .

      State Or Trade In Beadsord,—Ever; Day Ad...

      State or Trade in Beadsord , —Ever ; day adds to the appalling wretchedness and misery of the working classes of this town . Hundreds are boiug turned off from their employment . Meeting after meeting of the unemployed have been holden , but nothing , it appears , can or will be done to relieve the forlorn condition of the unwilling idlers , while the beautiful embellishments of the warehouses and the splendid equipage of the mill-lords mock the misery of the unhappy working ehtss , Leamington . — The cordwainers of this town have

      adopted the following resolution : — " That we , the cordwainers of Leamington , in general meeting assembled , do consider the old trade of Glasgow have acted an unmanl ) part in uniting with the masters to defeat and deprive union members of their work ; and we consider the Liverpool body , and a few of the men of London , to be equal '} culpable for aiding them . We record our censure upon • hose parties , and for the future will relieve no old curds , for we consider , until the cordwainers arc united in one general union , they will never obtain their fair share oi the wealth they produce .

      Tbe Tubm-oct in the BoiiiBiNa Trade , —There appears to be every reason to expect a turn-out among all the men engaged In the building trade in this part of the kingdom . At Birkenhead the joiners and masons are all out , and the extensive works at that place are at present brought to a stand-still . At Manchester there is also a very general turn-out amongst the men engaged in the same description of business , and there is no reason to hope that we shall escape at Liverpool . The men have certainly chosen their own time well , for there never wan so great a demand for workmen employed iu building . The masters , however , appear to be very resolute In refusing their demands Liverpool Times .

      The Stiuke of the Joineus and Bwcklayeks in ilANciiESTEU . —Iu consequence of the slaters , plumbers , glaziers , plasterers , and painters , with their labourers , having been called upon for levies in support of the turnouts in the other branches of the bulling trades , to which calls they had responded , the master builders of ifanhester have felt obliged , in order to bring the struggle to a peedy termination , to suspend building operations entirely ; and since Saturday evening , the 7 th instant , the whole of the men employed in the building trades have beenoutof employment . The joiners and carpenter * , together with the masons , some time since obtained a reduction in the hours of labour , having been permitted to leave off work at noon on Saturdays , and to resume employment at seven o ' c oek on Mondays , instead of six , as on every other day of the week . The demand now made is for 3 s . per week extra wages . The masters hare offered 2 s . extra per week , if the men will return to their old hours : this has been refused . —Liverpool Times .

It is proposed that night labour shall cease , aud that tun machinery shall not commence working earlier than six o ' clock in the morning , nor work Inter than tea , o ' clock at night , subject to- tines and penalties , which arc set

      forth . The first penalty is to be SIM ., and others of 1001 . Children under eight jears old , are not to bacmployed , and children and young persons are not to bo employed iu the factories beyond the time already mentioned . Some # f the other provisions are for the canuying the act into f > rce , anil Mr . Duncombo has considered itnOMssary to annex penalties for disobedience of the ciiactvn « its . It is provided by the luth section , that a number oi persons shall not act as justices under the act—it has a very sweeping tendency , " That uo justice of the pe . ico Being a proprietcs , owner , or holder of the bobb ' m-net ov warplaco machines , or receiving any emolument ivexa the making of any articles on the said machinery , eV the father , or the son , or the brother , or the uncle , or the cousin of any such person , shall act as justice under this act .

      The Lancashire Miners. 10 The Editor Op ...

      THE LANCASHIRE MINERS . 10 THE EDITOR OP THE NOKTHKRN STAR . Rbspkctkd Sir , —A letter appeared in your last week ' s paper signed by a person of the name ot Richard Ji amer , who , it appears , resides at Radcliffe-bridge . This letter , as well as your own remarks , calls for a few brief ob-crvations from me . Mr . Thamcr states , that a resolution was passed at the Bolton delegate meeting , not to send tho Miners ' proceedings to the Star . Wow , sir , if Mr . Hanier means the county delegate meeting , which took

      place about the time to which he alludes , lean assure him he has been most grossly imposed upon by the parties who gave him his information . I was present at the meeting . 1 have a copy of the resolutions , and I now emphatically and unequivocally declare , that no such resolution was passed , or even proposed at that meeting ; it is no wonder the delegate from RatL-Htfc knew nothing about it , for it never had an existence , it was never even contempiafced . "Oh , but , " says Mr . Hanier , - "tho Star was secretly burked . " This statement is utterly false . The Miners of Lancashire hold no secret

      meetings , and it is well known the large room of the Fleece Inn was crowded during the whole time ; the delegates were deliberating upon the various suljects brought before them . 1 feel confident , from the little knowledge I have of Mr . ilamer , that he is incapable of publishing a deliberate lio ; aud I again repeat , he has suffered himself to be misled by partits having some base object in view , and who are now laughing in their sleeves at his credulity . With respect to parties giving up the Star , I am not prepared to speak so decidedly ; but those I have , eonversed with , all declare they did not give up the paper from any motives of dislike or ill-teeling , but solely on account of their being unable . to pay for it , through extreme poverty . With respect to Mr .

      Martin Jude being acquainted with such a resolution of tlte Lancashire delegates , or taking part with them in a conspiracy against the Star , no one who knows him will , for a moment , believe ; and lor the satisfaction oi those who do not know him , 1 , must again repeat , no such resolution was passed , therefore he could not be acquainted with it ; and as to his taking part in a conspiracy against a paper , regularly and consistently advocating the rights of industry , it is too preposterous for even his enemies to swallow . Mr . Jude has suffered much , both iu purse and mind , from his own advocacy of the cause , of labour , . and I am confident he would suffer his right hand to be severed , from his body before he would be a conspirator against the Northern Star .

      Now , sir , as to your own remarks upon . Mr . Lanier ' s letter . You say , you make no complaint of the censpiracy , but the working men who have been made the victims of it will demand an explanation from their delegates . There is no doubt tney would have done so ere this , had they not known their delegates entered into no such conspiracy . You further state , you have 'been warned more than once what was going on in certain quarters , but abstained from noticing it until goaded by the very parties who treacherously forbade communication with the Star , and then taunted you with neglect . Really , sir , I am surprised—a conspiracy going on for soaae time , and the leading conspirators reuonisumding their constituents to become suUmbcY * Xv > tt » "my pnpertuey

      were striving to bitrkc , some of th « a having taken it from its commencement , aud all of them raving repeatedly exprcsssd their gratitudeioiti proprietor for his gratuitous insertion of their proooedinj ;* , as well as his disinterested , advocacy oi * their cause ! . If this he conspiracy , 1 am proud of being a conspirator , and I am sure the lecturers-and othev officials of the Miners' Association will all _ of them dory in the appellation . No > sir , there is nofc „ there novec wa * ,, any conspiracy to injure the circulation of the Star by any the smallest portion of tke leading men in the Miners' Association , at least * at * far as Litucnsliiru is concerned ( ilct other counties- answer for themsolves ); and 1 think , sir , you u & much to blame in giving credence to reports , connected with , Trades '

      Unions without inquiring as to < tho truth ot such report * . Had you giv- u me the slightest intimation that any one was poisoning your mind with such falsehoods , i would have immediately dotied the parties to the proof , andtho present oontrwsersy would have been avoided . You say , y . » u wem taunted by tho parties who treaaherously forbade communications being sent to you for insertion , && . To this , I answer , I never was forbade to send aaycora'sjssndence to you . And now I will explain tho reason why the fact of the men s being throvjn . out of employ was not suat for pttblkuikm . Thamen who were ti . ' own , > ut thought no publicity should bo gbtun to thatlum—at ksist for as-luwt time—aa it mbjtrt be tho means of injuring tliem ^ by bringing others into the county .. Acting

      upotii this suggestion , 1 did not scud atiytltkg about tlm . matter to any one portion of tlu > public proes , not even to the- Jlinert' Advocate . I knew vsry well if an account thereof had appeared in the Northern Star , or even in tbe AAvomte , and a . i * vent number of men had awiiemul token work in tke pits , it would , have Inch , said , this is all owing ; to the publicity given to our Swing' out . In conclusion , 1 have only to reiterate what . 1 have before stated . There never was any secret meetings , of the delegates connected with fcucMiiiera' Association in Lancashire ; there iv-vcr was any conspiracy among tho leaders ol the miners of Lancashire to burke , the iVteiyirevou injur * its circulation ; there ncv « r was a resolution passed at the Holum County Delegare Muetiug , or elsewhere , px-oliibithnr correspondence ; with the edi ' . oi

      oi iho Star ; aud , once again , 1 vopeat , the only reason way an account of the men ' s being out was not sent to the Star ollice , arose sololy from my acting on their own suggestion , ( hat no publicity shouldbft given io ihu circumstance—at least iOra short time—as it might injure them by causing an influx of men . In this they were mistaken ; bnt it is . monstrous tho delegates should be blamed ; iml called , conspirators , merely because -the fact of tho men ' s being out was not scut for publication . With the same justice they might bo chnrgi'd with conspiring against their own paper , as nothing was sent relative to tho men's being one to tho editor of thu Miners' Advocate . —l & m , m , on behalf of the miners of Lancashire , yours respectfully , Wm . Gitocorr , Countv Secretary .

      The Tyrannical "Coal Kings." To Thb 2wto...

      THE TYRANNICAL "COAL KINGS . " TO THB 2 WTOH OP THE HORTHEnN STAK . Uespbcikd Sin , —Allow me , through the pages of the working man ' s paper , to draw the attention of tbe miners of Great Britain , and the public generally , to the following acts of fraud and oppression which ; have recently been enacted bjr a Mr . Henry Jackson , coal-owner , of Barmeor- Colliery ( commonly called Biteabout ) , in the Berwick district . The men here work under a yearly bond , extending from Whitsuntide to Whitsuntide , without reference to the month ; and the prices vthich they are to be paid aregenerally inserted ( or should be ) in the bond . The miners are no parties to the drawing up of , in any cases , these infamous bonds . The owners , or their '' Jacksin-oifiee , " draw them up , and the men are compelled to agree to them or lose their employment . Indeed , I am informed by . the men . that , for years together , the bonds , at some collieries in this district , were never read to the men at all 1 Thus the men were

      compelled to hire to a bond which they knew nothing about I let these are callei " Christian masters "" good members of society " "—are " respectable "' ( . f ^ . and without doubt would siurtback with horror it ' told they were robbing their workmen and living bjr fraud ; Let us look further into this . At tho last binding ( , 1845 ) the men generally in this district ob « - tained a small advance of wages ,. 3 o \ per "darg " ( day ' s work ) , and the mastc » ,. in consequence ,, rose the price of coals to the public OJd . per ooll , stating , that they were compelled to do this beawse tney haoV risen their men ' s wages ! Now , an avaaago • darg is 48 bolls ; Jd . advance on 48 bolls would bo 2 z-. therefore the masters—kind , ; tenevolentsouls—purely out of love to the colliers , quietly pocketed Is . 9 d . of

      the advance given by the public , and gave their ilaves , as theirshare , 3 d . ! Jefcthey wera compelled to raise their coals one halfpenny per bol ! , because they had advanced the coih ' ers wages 3 d ., ptiv day ? In other words , they obtained seven-eighths * of tlte advance from the public , and allowed their mon one--eighth ! . Besides this , the men are subjected to repeated lines and forfeitures , by-which their hardeanied wages are materially tliciiuisiitd . Let me now return , to Mr . Jackson . At his last binding ( Whitsuntide ,. 1 S 45 ) he agreed to pay Is . ( id . per yardV for " drift work , " and 2 d . perday > estra for web'work , yet he has only paid , all the year ,,. !* , per yard l ' ortlie water-head , drift , and—nothing for wet work I The ) men have lately discovered that it is inserted in

      the-bond , "that- Is . 6 d . per yard be . paid for aM-driffc work , and 2 d . per day extra for « Wwet work ; " and , as a natural consequence , the men have grumbled , and hard words have passed , and ill feelings have been engendered between master and men . So lately—to punish , 1 suppose , his complaining workmen—he took the horse out of th » gin bywhioh the men are drawn up and let down thesnaft , aud thus-left the poor fellows in this pitiable condition , helpless , cold , and dripping ; with wet , in tho bowels of , the earth ' . The men then began to work their wa . y . oui > ( every moment in danger of their lives ) through ; old workings , wor . sed twenty years ago ; in dangecs-at

      every step of being suffocated with "black damp " ( varbom & acid gas ) , tiJJ at Jewgth they reached the " rise pit , " where they found a rope hanging to awindlass above . This rope was wet , mouldy , and they feared rotten , but on trying . it , to their greac joy , they found it sufficiently strong to bear a man , Tne next ditiiculy was to climb thexope . After several failures this was accomplished % by a boy , with , the assistance of the-nien punning him up from bc-low witli pieces of . timber ; but when he got to bank ha jvas notable to wind up a man , so . he ran oil ' to a g .-. t-• tage for assistance , and by the aid / , of a pitman's widow one man was wound up , wi-. o-tsvou assisted his brethren . up ..

      Ihus were these . . ul-i ; sed men rescued from tiieir perilous situation . 1 dare not trust myseii to comment on this unfeeling , brutal conduct of Mr . J ;« ckson ; an > i I the more readily refrain , ' as he wili aooa have to answer for the same to » 'the laws of his country . However ,, let the public-noto , well these pacts , and draw their own conclusions . Betides the above , Mr . Jackson has , f 3 r > -two years ' jast , bean violating and setting at delianee the 5 th and 6 th Victoria , cap . 99 , clause 8 , by which ha-had forfeited not more than & 30 , no » -. less than £ 20 , tor each oti ' euoo .
