Ge Gsmemzs,—As There Is Every Prospect O...
Ge _GsmEMzs , —As there is every prospect of a gene-Id ral election Tery speedily taking place , I beg leave to _Ifer offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages , upon axel purely Conservative principles — npon principles hie ! which , in iny opinion , must be adopted to secure the _re-e pre-eminence that England has so long boasted of . crl Perhaps it is but right , that in this age of active ion thoug ht and boasted inconsistency , as necessary to eer keep pace with the march of mind and progress of _jmi commerce , that I should state my views clearly and _spl exp licitly . 1 am , then , an advocate for annual Paras liaments : because 1 find that what is thought virtue
nd and policy to-day are considered vice and ignorance _j-n to-morrow . It is because I find that a Parliament lee elected in _ISilwas obliged to Tiolate its pledges in Si 1842 , and tu confess its ignorance in _lSifl , that I look or for a representation as active as the circumstances sh ¦ which it is called npon to govern , and I think it he should be an emanation from that mind rather than its its controller . I am for giving the vote to every man of twentydd one years of age , of sound mind , and not in prison as ii a M < m—because all other systems of representation lis Lave failed , and because it is impossible to cause an eq equitable distribution of the wealth of the country ui unless those who produce it have the power of el electing those who shall make laws for its governn ment . " "
I am for equal representation , because I hold it to b be ridiculous that nine or ten dukesand peers should e elect one-tenth of the representative body of the c country , -while those -who produceallitswealtb . sliould I he debarred the privilege of voting . I am for abolishing property qualification for mem-1 bers of Parliament , and for making the dunce of the < electors the only test of fitness , as is now the case in ! Scotland . I am an advocate for this principle , _be-< cause with the most extended representation , class ; legislation must existso long as the electors must se- j : lect an individual having £ 600 a-year for a county , and £ 300 a-year for a city , town , or borough—as is now the case in England , Ireland , and Wales .
I am foT the payment of members ; because I believe , firstly , that the servant is entitled to his wages ; secondly , because it is the only mode by which the corragt practice of bribing members by places and pensions can be destroyed ; andthirdly , because it is absolutely necessary to give honest poverty and intelligence an equal chance with wealth and ignorance . Ih a word , gentlemen , I am for the People ' s Charter , with the exception of the ballot ; and I am not for that , because I consider it an insult to put a Eiask npon an honest face , and because I would conrider it unnecessary if the electoral body was so extensive as to defy the snares of the wily and the machinations of the wealthy .
Gentlemen , I am induced to offer myself for the representation of your ancient city , because I , perhaps , like many of you , consider Mr . BabingtonMacauley as a most unfit and improper representative 1 shall reserve the fuller development of my political views until I have the honour of appearing before you , which I pledge myself to do upon the next _opportunity , and to stand the contest with allopponents that may then present themselves . I have the honour to remain , Gentlemen , Your obedient servant , Feakgls O'Coxsob .
To The Irish Labourers And Tradesmen Res...
TO THE IRISH LABOURERS AND TRADESMEN RESIDING IS GREAT BRITAIN . Fellow Coesimmes , —It has always given me great pain to see my brave , honest , hard-working countrymen driven from , forced from the land of their forefathers , to seek a precarious subsistence in another country . Do you know how it happens that so many of you have been forced to leave your native land since _^ 1829 ? Prior te that period there were comparatively few of you in England . Prior to thatperiod most of you had neat cottages , some land ; and a great many of you were forty sMUmg freeholders . How comes it , then , that you have been hunted out of your country like wild beasts ? My poor fellows , you do not know . Little you know of the manner in which you have been sold , betrayed , banished ; but , fellow
countrymen , you shall have a full and true account of the plan laid for your destruction , signed by your betrayer , in tf < e Star of Saturday , the lith _inst . The drawing of the Bill , or Act of Parliament ; for your banishmentfromthelandofyourbirth _jtheland which you lore so dearly , avowed , and acknowledged , and under the hand and seal of the man in whose honour vou confided , signed by the man for whom you were , and still are , ready to lay down your lives . You are cheated , sold , betrayed , banished , for money and office by the very man in whom you put your whole trust ! God forgive him ! for 1 do not , nor cannot- ! As yet , butone part , or " wing , " as hecalled it , of Ms still-born Bill has been carried into effect ; the other " wing , " the "clerical" one , has not become law yet : but the devil is hard at work to carry it
In order to prepare you for this infernal scheme , by which you have been ruined , destroyed to such an extent , that in 1 S 27 , there were more Chartists in Ireland than there are inhabitants in it now altogether . Well , then , the constitutions proposed for Catholic Emancipation by your betrayer were two , which this archfiend called " wings . " One of which was the desfranchuement of the forty shilling freeholders . The other was the payment of the Catliolic tlergy , and the nomittationof the Catholic Bishops by the _JBritith Sovereign ! Here is corruption with a
vengeance ; I shall say no more , but leave you to judge for yourselves , when you see the thing itself . Patrice . _O'Higgiss . Dublin , March 3 , 1846 .
Murder At St. Helier's, Jersey. The Town...
MURDER AT ST . HELIER'S , JERSEY . The town and neighbourhood of Sand-street were on Friday afternoon thrown into a state of great excitement in consequence of a report of a murder having been committed on the person of Mr . Centenier Le Cronier , by a woman of the name of Le Gendre , at a detestable haunt of vice well known under the appellation of " Mulberry Cottage . " The house in question is the same in which a riot lately took place , and from whence several abandoned females were lodged in the hospital , and several young men beaten and some severely wounded . The occurrence of this melancholy affair , we learn , took place under the Mowing circumstances : —
It appears , that Centenier Le Cronier was drawing up a report against the parties who were lodged in gaol on Sunday week , for creating a riot at Le Gendre _' shouse . The Centenier wanted information on some points , and therefore , accompanied by police officer Manuel , he repaired to the house where the riot occurred , in order to ascertain the facts he re quired , and to lodge Le Gendre and his " wife" in gaoL so as to ensure their presence in court this day . The latter course he deemed the most sure , and _accordingly , when he arrived at the house , he said he was come to arrest them , unless they gave security for their appearance in court .
The woman became excited , and exclaimed that she would neither go to gaol nor give security . The police said it was useless to resist _^ as they were come on purpose to arrest them , if they "did not give security ; when the woman rushed at Centenier with a large knife , which , it is said , she held in her . hand beneath her apron , and plunged it deeply into his abdomen on the right side , exclaiming , " Take that , you - . that ' s my security . " Theknife penetrated to a considerable extent , inflicting a _frighjU ' uJ . wound , from which the bowels protruded . Mr ., Xe Cronier instantly exclaimed , " Ok , I ' mstabbed—I ' m a dead man ! " and called two or three persons who were present to bear witness that he was about to pronounce his will—which was , that his wife should hare onethird of his property more than what the law allowed her .
Mr . Le Cromer was taken to the house of Mr . Bluet , currier , and medical assistance was sent for ; messengers were also despatched for advocates Godfray and LeSneur , to reduce Mr . Le Cronier's will to writing . Thty both repaired to the spot immediately , when the instrument was drawn up , amidst the tears and lamentations of the relatives and Mends ot the dying man . Mr . fl . ManueL also a police officer , had a narrow escape of his life by the same wretch and murderous instrument , she having made a stab at him , but
which he fortunately avoided by quickly moving aside , and darting from the house to the street . When she found she had failed in her attempt she threw the knife orerawall into the adjoining premises , where it was found and given in charge to Mr Richard , of Sand-street . Immediately after the bloody deed was perpetrated , the man Le Gendre made his escape from the house , and was pursued by several persons , who succeeded in capturing him near _Minden-place , from whence he was taken to gaol , where the murderess had prcvinuslv been _lodged .
SlrauuT , Half-past Twelve . —Since theabove was written , it is our painful duty to state that the unfortunate victim , Mr . Le Cronier , has just died . His loss to the community will be severely felt ; as a zealous officer of police , he was ever on the alert where his duty and patriotism called him , and foremost in every case of danger that _cune under his notice . He is deeply regretted in a large circle of friends , and his death must be deeply felt by his be Jeaved relatives .

We Have This Week Further, But By No Mea...
We have this week further , but by no means satis factory , news of the progress of
THE WAR IN INDIA , the particulars of which we give in another column . It will be seen that the Sikhs , so far from being conquered , or even humbled , by their defeat at Moodkeeand Ferozeshah , had again crossed the Sutlej , and were again strongly encamped on the British side of the river . In addition to the array opposite to Ferozepore , and menacing it as well as bir Henry HardhWs scanty force , another Sikh army or division . _estimatedatuDwardsofSO _. OOO andaformidable
force of artillerv , had boldly crossed the river _witnin sight of Loodianah , _audencamped . Thelatestrumour at Bombay avers that Sir narry Smith had been re pulsed in his attack on the second body of the Sikhs . The most sanguine believers in " the conquest of the Punjaub , " believe that it will take eighteen months to complete the job ; there are others who are sceptical whether it will be done in thattime , or even done at all ! Horrible slaughter , " gore and glory ! ' may be expected to fill the newspapers on the receipt of the next mail .
The most important news of th _» week , for the people of this country , is the intelligence from
THE UNITED STATES of the refusal of the American government to submit the question of their , and the British claim to the Oregon territory to a court of arbitration ; followed by the important news of the adoption , by the House of Representatives , of the resolutions providing for the abrogation of the convention of 1827 . Anoutline of the correspondence between the British Minister and the American Secretary of State , together with the resolutions adopted , will be found in another column . It appears that the members who voted for the resolutions were democrats , 121 ; Whigs , 37 ; natives , 5 ; total , 163 : agaitut the resolutions there
were democrats , 15 ; Whigs , 37 ; native , 1 ; total , 54 . Majority for the resolutions , 109 . There were only three members absent—two democrats and one Whig . All the members from South Carolina voted against the notice but one . This is a _sigmncantfaec , as it points to a similar course on the . part of the Senators from that state . The votes of members from the other southern states were pretty equally divided . The probability is that the resolutions have also passed the Senate ; indeed , of that there can be no reasonable doubt ; the question must , therefore , now be brought to a speedy " settlement" either by peaceable or forcible means .
The most interesting of European news is the re ported progress of
THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND , of which some details will be found in another column . These details , taken , for the most part , from German papers in the pay , or under fear of the German despots , must be received with great caution . Seeing the side these papers are compelled to take , we infer that the insurrection is marching through Poland , notwithstanding all the efforts of the German journals to make Western Europe believe the contrary . It appears that the Bishop of Geissnen and Posen has been arrested , and lodged in the fortress of _Graudents . Fresh outbreaks are reported to have taken p lace in Gallicia ( Austrian Poland ) . The arsenals and prisons ( where political prisoners are confined ) are everywhere the object of
attack ; and it is a remarkable feature of this movement that in Gallicia the " proprietors" are more obnoxious to the people than even the agents of the government ; severe conflicts have taken place between the peasantry and their masters , and several "proprietors " are said to be prisoners in the hands of the patriots . Communism Las been of late making rapid progress in Poland , particularly in Gallicia ; even in Posen the " conspirators" are reported to have promised tfi « land to the peasantry and hence the enthusiasm of the latter . Letters from the Danube of the 20 th tilt ., state that a report was abroad that a revolution , similar to that of 1830 , had broken out in Warsaw . It is said that an insurrection has also burst forth in Lithuania . In the
extracts from the German papers , our readers will see some account of the insurrection in Cracow , pro « voked by the insolent invasion of the Austrian troops . Letters from Breslau _, of the 25 th of February , state that the patriots have gained possession of the city , and driven out the Austrians . It was said that the Russian and Austrian agents at Cracow had be / su killed . We take the following from the Augsburg Aljemainc Zeitung , of Feb . 2 Sth : — " At this moment ( at an hour when the half of our impression is printed off ) we receive accounts from Vienna , dated Feb . 25 th , which state that General Y . Cullins ,
thinking it advisable , with the few Austrian troops under his command , to evacuate Cracow , because the insurgents round Cracow were increasing to such large masses that he heard they might gain the important passage over the Vistula Podgoreze , and thus carry the revolution far into the country , had retreated , without being attacked by the insurgents , te his former position , Podgoreze . " Our prayers are for the success of the insurrection . Should . the struggle last much longer , it is possible that , tho German despots may find work enough cut out for them at home . Europe is weary of the domination ot these crowned and privileged ruffians .
GERMANY the festival in memory of Luther was celebrated all over the Protestant states on the 18 th . In Bavaria no pnblic solemnity was allowed . In Anstria all was silent , the silence of death 1 Private letters from Frankfort give the outline of what is going on in the sessions of the Diet . Prince Metternich is said to be " as busy as the devil in a gale of wind , " devising coercive measures against the German Catholic Dissenters and the press . The south of Germany is threatened with an Austrian intervention , which , if
it takes place , will at least afford to the Poles and Italians a favourable opportunity of settling long standing accounts . The imbecile King of Prussia , in the midst of revolutions and coming revolutions , is passing his time in discussing " confessions of faith" with the municipal council of Breslau . Nero fiddling while Rome was burning was tin ? personification of wisdom compared with this pietistic fool , who bids fair to be remembered by posterity , by the side of our James II ., who " lost three kingdoms for a mass . "
The news from FRANCE is but of trifling import . On Thursday , the editor of the Gazette de France was sentenced , by the Court of Assizes of Paris , to one year ' s imprisonment and 3 , 000 f . fine , for an article containing attacks against the rights which the King derives from the choice of the nation . The " traitor of the barricades" is intriguing to accomplish a reconciliation with the tyrant Nicholas ; at the same time the Poles in Paris are placed under the surveillance of the police . The Italian refugees are favoured in the like manner . The accounts from
SPAIN show the new Ministry to be already in trouble , and , it is believed , on the point of breaking up . Letters from
ITALY state , that the publication of the depositions of the . Polish nun , Macrina Mieczyslaska , had given great offence to the Pope ; Cardinal Lambrushini had addressed a note to the ambassador of Russia , M . de _Boutenieff , in which he protested against a publication which , he said , could only have been made by oartks desirous to disturb the goad understanding and impede the negotiations pending between the Holy See and Russia . We predicted this at the very time that the triple-crowned , triply-infamous old hy-Docrite was sheddine his crocodile tears over the
recital of the sufferings of the poor Polish nuns . Letters from Leghorn state , that about fifty persons have been arrested at Pesaro and Gano , in the Roman States . Some others had contrived to elude the search of the police , and amongst them Count Montevecchi , belonging to one of the first families in the country . The individuals compromised in the late affair at Rimini , who to the number of twentytwo had set sail on the Adriatic , but had been obliged from stress of weather to put into Fiume , inDalma tia , have been given up by Austria to the Papal government . They lately arrived in an Austrian vessel at Ancona , and have been shut up in the fort .

We Have This Week Further, But By No Mea...
THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND . ( From the German papers . ) Wibsik , 16 thFebruary . —Avery fortunate event is the arrest of the most important Polish chiefs , which was effected yesterday and last night . Among these are two of the greatest nobles , the Counts Ignatito and Constan . . . . ki , one of whom was sent away yesterday , and the other to-day , under a strong escort . _Bueslaw , Bebruary 18 th . —A very eminent Polish landowner has been arrested in Ostrowo , and conveyed to Posen At Ostrowo Itself the agitation was so great that the magistrates found it necessary to address the assembled citizens . The Russian Commissioner has dissolved the Resource at Kalisch .
Poses , tebruary lS . _-The-avrcsts still continue . A rich landowner was yesterday brOusht here from * , t ,, , mi , Itaryhave had their pieces loaded with ball , and the hussars received yesterday sabres ground to an edge . Large sums in gold have been taken / rem some of the persons arrested . Of course there is much talk among the public , on the plans of the conspirators . There were ten at the head of the whole , each of whom had three under him , then again three under him , and so on so that those under No . 3 , did not know the leaders ( No . 1 ); and so in the following divisions the principals were unknown .
Papers , too , are said to have been found , - written with invisible chemical ink . The plot was to have broken out yesterday , by setting fire to the city , in several places at once , and the members had provided themselves with the Polish uniform . The outbreak in Posen was to be supported by similar movements in other places . The public offices were all disposed of , and Prince Czartoriski , in France , was designated as King of Poland . How much truth there may be in all these reports will soon appear from the judicial investigations . The Vologne Gazette publishes the following letter from Vienna of the 23 rd ult . : —
" The state of public opinion in Gallicia has had its influence upon the Poles of our Polytechnic Institution . They have consequently been subjected to a strict surveillance . On the night of the 21 st , six students belonging to the School of Artillery , which furnishes officers for the army , disappeared , and it is supposed that they have gone to Gallicia to 30 m the insurgents . " The Augsburq Gazette publishes the following intelligence from Cracow : — " At _teu o ' clock at night on the 21 st a skyrocket was sent up at a short distance from the Botanic Gardens , and was generally regarded as the signal for revolt . The Austrian General ( Golin )
immediately ordered half a squadron and a company ot infantry into the town . Between tour and five in the morning the troops were attacked . A very murderous fire was directed against them from the windows of the principal square . The troops , however , ' repulsed the aggressors , who had a great »» ty ' people killed . Forty prisoners were captured , lor the most part inhabitants ef Cracow . The Austrian troops had five men and one officer killed . Several bands of armed peasants had come up to the gates of the town , but had not ventured upon an attack . A picket of tiventy-five Austrian horse had been attacked on the territory ol the Countess Potocka , by a band of peasants , and the officer commanding it had received a severe wound . "
The Prussian Universal Gazelle of the 27 th ult . announces that the latest intelligence from the territory of Cracow was not _satisfactory and that the insurrection had gained ground . '" Orders had been despatched to concentrate a considerable body of troops on the frontier , to act in concert with the other protecting powers , to restore order . The Frankfort German Journal of the 1 st inst . states that the insurrection at Cracow had assumed a serious character , and that the Austrian troops had been repulsed . At _Jovorzno an insurrection had broken out on the arrival of an Austrian detachment sent to arrest the priest . The soldiers were disarmed , and seventy prisoners set at liberty . _IMPORTANT NEWS FROM AMERICA . ALL ARBITRATION REFUSED BY THE AMERICAS
GOVERNMENT . Liverpool , Moxdat Evekixg . —By the packet-ship Patrick Henry wo have received New York advices to the 9 th ult . inclusive . It appears that Mr . President Polk has officially announced to Congress the determination of the American government to refuse all arbitration on the Oregon question . The tallowing is an outline of this important correspondence between our minister , Mr . Pakenham , and the American Secretary of State , and whicli , on the 7 th , was communicated to Congress . The first dispatch is
dated—Dee . 13 th , 1815 . —Letter to Mr . M'Lane from Mr . Buchanan , asking Mr . M'Lane ' s opinion whether the military preparations making in England are for us ; and requesting him to ask Lord Aberdeen . Jan . 3 rd , 1346 . —Reply of Mr . M'Lane to above _, lie had an interview with Lord A „ who said the British government was obliged to look to the possible unavoidable result of the controversy with the U . S ., and , in that case , the preparations would be found useful and important . But they had other and general objects . Mr . M'Lane ' s own opinion is , that a portion of the preparations are peculiarly adapted for , and adapted to a war with the U . 8 . He says that Great Britain will act promptly and vigorously at first , so as to bring the war to a speedy conclusion .
27 tUDec , 18 io . —Letter from Mr . Pakenham to Mr . Buchanan . Admits that negotiation has failed , and , as a last resource , proposes to leave the question of a just partition of the territory to a third and disinterested party . 3 rd January , _lSIC—Answer of Mr . Buchanan to above . The President will not submit any question but that title , because he had taken the ground on the 29 th August that our title was clear te the whole of Oregon ; and he won't submit that , because he cannot take from the control of the people of the United States a question of territorial right , and leave it to a foreign power . 3 rd January , 1 S 16 . —Mr . Pakenham , in reply , informs Mr . Buchanan that he will transmit Mr . Polk's decision to the British minister at London .
16 th January , 184 C—Letter from Mr . Pakenham to Mr . Buchanan . Reminds the government of the United States that if the United States claimed the whole of the Oregon , that Great Britain also asserted certain rights in the territory , for which he a < ked as much consideration from the U . S . as the U . S . expected to receive from Great Britain for her pretension . He proposes , if the United StateB have an objection to kings , to submit the question to the arbitration of a mixed convention , with an umpire , or to a body of distinguished civilians . lie proposes to meet the views of the United States by submitting the question of title , and in case it be found that neither party has a title to the whole , then to submit the question of equitable partition .
4 th Feb ., 1 S 4 C—Answer to the above . The President absolutely refuses arbitration . In the course ot his letter Mr . Buchanan states that , "To no power , however intelligent or respectable , nor to any body of citizens , could the United States consent to refer a claim of a character like that she possesses to the Oregon territory . "
LATER , AND IIIGHLY IMPORTANT NEWS . By a private merchant vessel accounts have been received from the States up to the 11 th ult . On the 9 th the following resolutions passed the House of Representatives : — " Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America , in Congress assembled , that the President of tho United States cause notice to be given to the government of Great Britain , that the convention between the United States of America and Great Britain , concerning the territory of the north-west coast of America , west of the Stony Mountains , of the 6 th August , 1827 , signed at London , shall be annulled and abrogated in twelve months after giving said notice .

THE WAR IN INDIA
ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL . THE SIKHS AGAIN ON THE ISDIAN SIDE OF THE SUTLEJ . —MORE BATTLES . London , Fiudat Morning . —The Overland Mail has been received by extraordinary express from Marseilles , bringing letters and papers to the following dates : —Bombay , Feb . 2 ; Calcutta , Jan . 21 ; and China , Dec . 24 . The intelligence by this arrival , though not of the stirring nature which we had last to report , is yet of considerable interest , as it shows that the Sikhs , though beaten at Moodkee and Ferozeshah , as we have seen , still keep the field ;—nay more , have recrossed the Sutlej in great force to try their fortune in another contest with our troops . According to the reports that were curreut , their whole army amounted to between GO _. OOO and 70 , 000 men , with 110 pieces of ordnance , but the division which recrossed the Sutlej is variousl y estimated at only fiom 20 , 000 to 30 , 000 . As a matter of policy , it

was _presumed , thejSikhs were unmolested in the construction' of the pontoons , by means of which tlioy effeoted the passage of the river . The position of the British army was as follows : — Sir John Littler and his division were at Attaree , seven miles from Ferozepore ; the head-quarters oi the Commander-in-Chief were six miles higher up the river ; and _. _theUmballah force was four mileH beyond this , or seventeen miles , from Ferozepore , where the Governor-General remained . The division of Sir narry Sinith had lioved in the direction of Loodianah ; It was towards this latter point that attention was almost wholly turned as the scene of the conflict , which , according to general report , ; took place on the 21 _st of January . The letters written from Loodianah , ef a 3 late a date as the 28 th January , describe numerous skirmishes for several days previous , and indicated , at least , the immediate presence oi the enemy .
Troops were moving in all directions upon the Sutlej , and , independently ofthe army of from 15 , 000 to , 20 , 000 men _assemSling to the westward of the Commander-in-chief , under Sir Charles Napier , would , according to the most authentic returns , compose a force of upwards of 40 , 000 men of all arms . A great increase ofthe army generally was in progress . In Scinde all was tranquil , and perfect quiet reigned throughout the interior of India . Ffom China the intelligence is not of any particular interest .
THE BATTLE OF THE 21 st OF JANUARY REPORTED REPULSE OF THE BRITISH . Some skirmishing took place near the Sikh bridge of boats on the 13 th , lith , and loth of January without any remarkable effect , On the 15 th the Sikhs came over the river at Phulloor , plundered the neighbourhood , and pitched a camp on the left bank , in the British territory . On the following days they made some further advances , and intrenched themselves near a nulla . Sir H . Smith moved his brigade up the Sutlej , driving the enemy before him until the 21 st , in the morning , when he came upon one of the fortified _positions of the _enemy , which fired grape shot
amongst the British troops . Some of the native troops are said to have thrown down their arms , and to have fled , leaving the Europeans to bear the brunt of the battle . Her _Majesty ' s 53 rd and 31 st were engaged , and are said to have suffered severely , but they demanded to be led anew to the fight , which Sir II . Smith did not deem it prudent to do , and therefore withdrew the troops . The Agra UklAar construes the retirement into a defeat ; while the Delhi Gazeite states , that heavy firing was heard in the direction of Loodianah during the whole of the afternoon of that day . Nothing positive appears to have been known as to the results of that < l « y _tWien the mails were leaving Bombay .

Miners' Strike/In Lancashire, We Are Sor...
MINERS' STRIKE / IN LANCASHIRE , We are sorry to state that the Miners of Bolton , Littie Lever , Bury , Halsemoor , and the surrounding districts , are still out of employment , as will be seen by the following : — To the Coal Miners or _Scotwhp . —Brethren , —We , the coal miners of Lancashire , beg to call your attention to the struggle now existing between the coal proprietors and their workmen , in the Boiton , Bury , and surrounding districts , trusting that you will come forward and give us jour assistance in securing the triumph of labour over the unjust aggressions of capital . In the district above alluded to , we have upwards of 1 , 400 of our fellow-workmen who have been driven from their employments
because they sought to obtain a slight advance of wages , by a restriction of their hours of labour ; they have , despite a great number of adverse circumstances , maintained a contest upwards of six weeks ; many of them have been driven from their homes , and their families exposed to severe privations , because they dared to ask for such an advance as would enable them to earn four shillings for eightiiours of dangerous and arduous toil . We therefore _rnjuest you will take their case into your most serious consideration , and do all in your power towards their support , for you may be assured ( although you are at so great a distance ) , should they be _unsuccessful ; it will be the prelude to considerable encroachments upon yourselves by your employers , who , actuated by the same selfish and avaricious motives which govern ours , will be
ready to take advantage of the defeat of so great a number of men in our county to reduce your wages . We now leave the matter with you . and in conclusion refer you to our own exertions in behalf of the men ofthe north during their protracted struggle 5 not because we think you require anything to stimulate you beyond being made aequainted with the facts of the case , but only as a proof , should circumstances occur among yourselves having a tendency to induce you to resistance of oppression , we should be found at our post with a firm determination to give you nil the pecuniary aid in our power .

_BmssLSV BRESsnRS . —} Ye , the dressers employed in Alessrs . l'igott and Newton's power-loom factory , Barnsley , are constrained to lay our grievances before a discriminating and impartial public , in consequence of the above _gentfemen attempting to make a desperate and unwarrantable inroad on our wages , which , if we tamely submit to , will amount to no less than GO per cent , —a very delicate stroke for a commencement . The origin of the dispute . is as follows : —In the dressing of ticks , our masters had been paying us weekly wageB , which they proposed to change and pay us by the piece , which said piece-work , according to their proposal , would be a _reduction of considerably more than half , as stated above . Mr . Richardson has also imitated the beautiful low wage system according to the example set by Messrs , Pigottand
Newton , and both parties have now botchers in the places of the men who have nobly refused to be their degraded vassals . This exposition is called for by Mr . Pigott telling the public that we can earn 27 s . per week , and that we refuse to work at all . We have to complain of several vexatious annoyances practised by Messrs . Pigott and Newton towards their workpeople , which 5 s no advantage to them as _' masters , but purely for the purpose of aggravating and injuring the operatives . For instance , they regularly require us to change the beams from one fabric to another , which said change loses the workman in drabbets , half a day—in ticks , a day ; and we have nothing for that unnecessary loss of time , whereas two days would clear the beams , in the regular order of working . And more—where the change is absolutely
_necassary , it is the regular rule , as well as the workman's undoubted right , to be paid for tho time thus taken up , which is his sacred property . —By order of the Committee . ToBN . our in Manchester . —On Monday morning there was a general turn-out of the joiners and carpenters employed in this town . The number who left their employment was about 8 , 000 . The object sought by tht men was an advance of wages from 26 s . to 29 s . per week . The men employed at sixteen establishments , about 1 , 500 iu number , returned in the course ofthe morning to their work , their employers having complied with their demand , and there is no doubt that the remaining number will not remain out of employment many days , as the demand for their labour is unusually pressing . Several hundreds of the bricklayers also turned out the same day , and have not yet returned to their work .

GiniuLTAR . —The rocks look tremendous , that to ascend it , even without the compliment of shells or shot , seems a dreadful task : what would it bo when all tliose mysterious lines of batteries were vomiting fire and brimstone , when all those dark guns that you see poking their grim heads oat of every imaginable cleft and zigzag should salute you with shot , both hot and cold ; and when , after tugging up the hideous perpendicular place , you were to find regiments of British grenadiers ready to plunge bayonets into your
poor panting stomach , and let out artificially the little breath left there ? It is a marvel to think that soldiers will mount such places for a shilling—ensigns for five and niuqiencc—a day : a cabman would ask double the money to go halfway ! One meekly reflects upon the above strange truths , leaning over the bbip ' _s side , and looking up the huge mountain , from the tower nestled at the foot of it to the _flag-staff at the summit , up to which have bean piled the most ingenious edifices for murder , Christian science ever adopted . _—Jfotes of a Journey to Grand Cairo .

The Executive Committee To-The Members O...
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO-THE MEMBERS OF THE _NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION . ' Friends , —The period for which we were appointed to serve as officers in the noble cause of Chartism , is fast approximating to a close , and in apprising you of the duty which will consequently devolve upon you , we feel bound to call your attention to the po _sition which we now hold as a party in this great country , and at the same time to invite your attention to the line of conduct which we have pursued since we were first honoured with the confidence of the Association . In glancing at our past career we find less to excite regret than might bo expected , when it is considered how much cause we have
had tojuBtity apathy on our part , and how little to encourage and stimulate us in our attempt to accomplish the _^ political emancipation of the working classes . The mass of the people , who _OHght to have made common cause with us , have not done so , at least in » substantial manner ; but at that we ' are not astonished , as we have searched in vain through the record of revolutions for an example of the multitude rising spontaneously , and of themselves establishing the liberty of their country . The splendid achievements which _slied a lustre on particular epochs of the world ' * dark history , fully corroborate the fact , that the destruction of hoary-headed tyrannyhas ever been effected by the energy and intelligence of the few , who h » ve had sense enoug h to discover the source of their wrongs , and manliness sufficient to proclaim it .
Wc were installed in office at a time when " commercial prosperity" had superseded a state of anarch ) und confusion , caused by tlie want of employment , and starvation wages amongst those who were employed ; and when the dungeons and convict ; ships were crowded with the victims of barbarous and savage laws—when political organization had been rendered dangerous , in consequence of the denunciation which had been hurled against it by the ermine-clad dispensers of British justice (?); and when the Chartist body were split to shreds through the conduct Of persons , who manifested their friendship by creating dissension about matters entirely personal . At length it was agreed upon to re-organise the movement , and we had the distinguished honour of being placed at its head .
From that moment up to the present time , we have 6 een incessant in our endeavours to promote the righteous cause , and if its increased strength has not been exhibited , it is because there has not yet originated a crisis worthy the development of its power . One great cause which seems to us to have retarded tho progress of tlie movement , viz .,
DISSENSION AMONGST LEADERS , has not , we are happy to say , been any obstacle in our way . Conscious of having discharged our duty to the utmost of uur ability , we have net paid attention to the slanders that have been lavished upon us ; we have allowed our conduct to stand as the best refutation to charges which have ori ginated in either ignorance or malice . If , in tho former , we have left it to time , and a better acquaintance , to remove the error ; or , if in the latter , we have invariably awarded the parties our commiseration . Our object has been to enlist the sympathies and services of all who could in the slightest degree servo ChartiBm ; and in so doing we best discharged the duties of our office . During the past year , the result of our conferences has been the adoption and promulgation of a
LAND PLAN , as subsidiary to the movement for the Charter ; and the progress which it has hitherto made warrant us in the assertion , that it is likely to become the most important and powerful combination that ever existed in this country ; and , as an auxiliary to Chartism , its value cannot be overrated . The Charter and Land Associations , although differing in name aud form , cannot be viewed apart ; they are like the Siamese twins , inseparable , Tlie interest of one cannot be forwarded without advanc ing tho objects of the other ; and should our exertions eventuate in nothing more than this Land project , Chartism will have rendered posterity its debtor . There is another matter which has engrossed a considerable share of our attention , and of late , much of our time ; we allude to the case of our exiled friends ,
FROST , WILLIAMS , AND JONES , whose cause is endeared to us by the sufferings which they have endured since then expatriation . To seek the return of the captive from banishment , and thus _£ ive joy to his faintly and friends , is the work of philanthropy ; but how much more lofty is that feeling which impels the patriot to attempt the liberation of those who , martyrs to their love of country , are lingering out the life of a felon on the far-distant shores of a foreign land ? No part of our duty has been performed with more care and assiduity than that which relates to our beloved and persecuted friends—no pains have been spared to make the approaching trial on their behalf successful ; and it gives us inexpressible pleasure in having to state that no man has entered into the matter with greater zeal or truer devotion than our Parliamentary-chief and champion ,
MR . T . S . DUNCOMBE who will , on Tuesday evening next , submit a motion to the House of Commons for an address to the Queen , praying for the immediate restoration of our much injured friends . We have taken care that he shall not stand alone in his advocacy of their cause , as wc have furnished every one of the G 5 S members with a document , setting forth the whole facts of the ease and the grounds on which we found our hopes of success . We have waited personally upon many of the most influential and distinguished members of both sides of the house , and , as far as we have yet gone , wc have been entirely successful . Wc have designed the most extensive and perfect machinery _ti ensure a triumph . Arrangements have been made to procure the signatures to petitions of the foreman and jury who tried the men , as well as the
Town Council of Newport , where the unfortdnate catastrophe happened . The two eminent persons who defended Mr . _Krast on his trial are now holding high und responsible situations under the government—tlie one , Sir F . Pollock , is a judge ; and . the other , Mr . F . Kelly , is her Majesty ' s Solicitor-General ; and as both of those gentlemen expressed very strong opinions as to the illegality oi the trial at the time it took place , we expect that they will maintain the dignity of their professional character by an avowal of their opinions on an occasion when such conduct will be ot the greatest service to their former client and his co-patriots . We have attended public meetings at all the principal localities in and around the metropolis , and have , in fact , done all that lay in our power to cause the restoration of the unhappy exiles .
MINISTERIAL MEASURE . The House of Commons having committed themselves to the principle of Sir R . Peel ' s proposal by a majority of ninety-acveu votes , it may be fairly presumed that , as far as that house is concerned , tho measure is to become law . But whether Wellington will be able to manage the hereditary _Solons of the other house , as his coadjutor ( the Premier ) has the Commons , remains to be seen . Conjecture has it that the ex-minister , Lord Stanley , is learning himself for a dreadful onslaught on the measure on its introduction to the consideration of their lordships ; and , from the declaration of the Duke of Richmond as to the means which he and his friends are prepared to adopt in resisting the proposal , there is a probability , amounting almost to a certainty , that the measure will he rejected by them ; in which case there will be a
__ GENERAL ELECTION . When the factions will try their respective strength , and _vihen each of them will bid for popular support . Peel , the League , and the Whigs will unite in the cry for cheap bread , on the one hand , and the Young _Englanders and the agriculturists generally , will struggle for protection on the other ; whilst toe , who have nothing to expect from either party , must stand by our own principles , and rally the _workinsclasses round the standard of the People ' s Charter . The League and the Whigs will affect to be the popular party , and , if we are not on the alert , will act as such ; but they must be taught that the days of their rule has gone by , They must be met upon the hustings , and unmasked in the presence of tlie people . The crimes which that faction has
committed against liberty must be rung in their ears , until tho public shall be made to execrate them as the persecutors of our friends ; the executioners of Clayton , Holbcrry , and Dufi ' y ; the ooncoctors of the infamous New Poor Law , and the promoters of many other vile schemes to rob and enslave tho nation _, _l'he other faction—the Tories-must be dealt witli in a like manner . Let us recognise no distinction , they are both enemies to our rights and liberties , and will yield ouly what public opinion may be capable of _wresting from them . Wc propose , therefore that in accordance with the suggestions of our Alexandria friend * , that a subscription be immediatel y set on foot in the several localities throughout England , Scotland , and Wales , for tho purpose of sustaining au agitation during the approaching crisis ; and , in the event of an election , that we may bo able to take the field with a lew

those letters ) to use all the influence they _possess to prevent his return to Parliament at the n « xt general election , or at any other period , believing him to be unworthy of support from all lovers of _phihintropby and humanity , but more especially the countenance ofthe Chartist body , wherever to be found . The following resolution was then moved by Mr . Bernard , seconded by Mr . Fletcher , and carried unanimously : — That in the opinion of this meeting , in order to understand what course Sir W . Clay ( one of tho members for this borough ) intends to pursue with reference to the motion of _ifr . Duncomue , for thu liberation of Frost , Williams , and Jonei , Dr . Bowkett be respectfully reguested to write to the honourable member for a definite _answer on the subject .

Dreadful Accident At Greenwich. Three Li...
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT GREENWICH . THREE LIVES LOST . On Saturday an accident , which proved fatal to three persons , occurred in the extensive chemical works belonging to Mr . Hills , at East Greenwich . Two of the men were employed in cleaning out a large vessel in which ammonia had been prepared . They had hardly got to the bottom o ( the vessel when tho fumes of the spirit contained therein overcame them , and they both fell senseless on their faces . The other unfortunate fellow , not perceiving what had happened , or else desirous of assisting his fellowworkmen , also descended the same vessel , and almost instantaneously shared the same fate . An alarm was immediately raised , and several persons quickly repaired to the factory to render assistance . The three poor men were observed lying at the bottom . The foreman of the factory , more bold than the others , instantly leaped , into the place , with the hope of
rescuing the men . In this praiseworthy _endeiiYuwr lie was foiled , tor no sooner had he got into the vessel than the fumes overcame him , and had it not been for the extraordinary exertions of others , he must likewise have perished ; as It was he was got out alive , but in a very exhausted state . As soon as possible the three others were got out , and a surgeon waa promptly in _attendance , but not in time to be ot any assistance , life in each being extinct . The bodies were subsequently removed to a neighbouring public-house , to await the coroner ' s inquest . It is reported that the men had received strict injunctions that they were not to enter the vessel until they had tried the same with a lighted candle , to ascertain whether or not it was perf « ctly safe . This order , it seems , was not attended to , and the fatal consequences that followed were tho result . It is stated that two of the detcascd have left large families unprovided for .
Inquest on _tnE Bodies . — On Monday Mr . C . Carttar , the coroner for Kent , held an inquest at the Pilot public-house , East Greenwich , on the bodies of the three unfortunate men , named Richard Middleton , aged twenty-nine , Thomas Burkin , aged twenty , and Francis Reeves , aged fifty . The jury having been sworn , proceeded to view the bodies , which presented a shocking appearance , and were lying in the parlour of the above house ; and from thence were accompanied by the coroner and Mr . Hills to the place where the melancholy occurrence took place . The premises , which are used solely for chemical purposes , are situate on the banks of the river , nearly opposite Blackwall . The bodies having been identified , Thomas Downes , the for eman of the works , deposed that Burkin and Reeves were engaged in cleaning out a still which had just been erected , but never used ; they had finished about half-past two o ' clock , all but removing a couple of bricks ; and
witness , who was with them in the boiler , told them , when they had done so , to come out . After witness had left the boiler about ten minutes , an alarm was given , and he was asked for a rope ; and on running to the still he saw two men getting Mr . Frank Hills out of the still . The still worked into the same tube as another still ; and there ought to be six inches of water in the chamber , when it would bo safe , and no accident could happen . __ Tlie chamber is fed by a pitcher and funnel , and it was Middloton ' s duty to till it . After some immaterial evidence , the room was cleared , and the jury having remained in deliberation for a short time , returned a verdict that Richard Middleton , Thomas Burkin , and Francis Reeves were suffocated __ by sulphuric hydrogen gas , _ewaping from one still into another empty still , owing to the neglect of the deceased Richard Middleton , in not supplying the water to shut off the connection between the two stills .
¦¦ Robbery of _WATCHEs .--The officers employed on the Eastern Counties Railway , assisted by an " active member of the metropolitan detective force , have been engaged for some days in endeavouring to trace out a robbery committed on that line . In the course of last week a case , containing watches , amounting in value to oyer £ 200 , was received from a wholesale watch-manufacturer in Ilatton-garden , to be forwarded to it _ watchmaker at _Yvwinc-ntn . Tho bos in its transit disappeared in a very mysterious _mauneu , and of course did not reach the party to whom it hail been directed .
Peace !
