Colliery Accidents.
COLLIERY ACCIDENTS .
To The Editor Of The Korthers Star. Sir,...
TO THE EDITOR OF THE _KORTHERS STAR . Sir , —Your paper recently contained a valuable letter on tbo accidents in collieries , copied from the Mining Journal , which has drawn great attention to the dangerous condition of Jarrow's colliery . The men of this colliery have complained to the Homo Secretary that the master will oblige them to blast the coal with power , whilst the air is so weak that candles dare not be used , but safety lamps only . The inspectors of the district have twice visited tho pit , and pronounced the practice dangerous in the extreme , yet the master will not cease the practice . The master of the pit in question , has recently called in tho aid of some of his brother viewers , and they , with true fraternal for each
feelings other , havo decided that ths practice of blasting with powder may be carried on with safety ; thus tho lives of tho workmen are placed in jeopardy , the opinion of the government inspectors set aside , and thesmall benefit conferred by the Miners' Inspection Bill completely nullified , and set at _ aught by the viewers of the district ., * ach of whom will he called upon to help his brother out of any such dilemma when necessary ; ifc being but another edition of the practice of calling in the _assisfcanee of viewers after an explosion , to report on the cause of the same , their opinions being invariably recorded in evidence at the inquests . That tiie said pit ( no matter which it may be , ) was excellently ventilated-one of the best ventilated pits in the ditstvict . M Jude Newcastle , January 20 th , 1 S 5 I . '

State Of Parliamentary -Parties, And Pro...
STATE OF PARLIAMENTARY -PARTIES , AND PROSPECTS OF CHARTISM . In the course of a few * days Parliament will re-assemble , it is said , with a Cabinet seriously weakened by divisions on the Roman Catholic Question . The Sovereign and the Premier insist upon a stronger condemnation of the Papal policy in the speech from the Throne , than a powerful section of the Ministry are willing to agree to . This will of course he the most immediate topic for talk at the commencement of the session .
Financial questions will follow , if not accompany ifc , and as yet those appear to be all that can be predicated as certain subjects of debate in the forthcoming session . Ifc is for the people at large to say whether they will rest content with such matters , and allow the professional politicians and party hacks to settle affairs in this easy , off-hand style . __ There never was a period in the history of this country more favourable for the introduction and the carrying of some of the great political and social reforms , upon which
public opinion has ri pened during the last quarter of a century . If we allow the precious opportunity to pass away unimproved , it-will te our own fault . Parliament and the Cabinet are at present so placed as to he unable to offer but a very limited and feeble resistance to any well-organised , vigorous and rightly directed pressure from without . It is the fifth session of the present Legislative body . Visions of tho hustings at a General Election begin to flit before the eves of
members , and a sense of popular responsibility to be awakened , which is somehow or other lulled to sleep at earlier periods of their lease of Parliamentary power and place . Many a man who troubles himself little indeed as to either attendance or the nature of his vote in the three or four first sessions of a Parliament , grows fidgetty as he sees the lease expiring , and remembers that popular opinion out of doors has heen advancing , while he has been standing still , —or worse , retrograding . The application of the screw at such a timo is
certain to produce a greater effect than at any other ; and the people ought , therefore , to avail themselves to the utmost , of the accessibilit y of members to popular influences . In the next place , death and removals have made great changes in the composition of Parliament and the relative position of parties . The death of the late Sir Robert Peel removed an insurmountable obstacle to the junction of the Bevered sections of the
Conservative party , of which ho was so long the leader . The translation of the Earl of Lincoln to the Upper House , in conse quence ofthe death of his father , the Duke of Newcastle , also to some extent facilitates that junction , should any disposition for it exist on either side . There might , on the part of the Peelites , have been some difficulty in adjusting the rival claims of _Lisctow and Gladstone for the Premier part of leadershi p ; aud there might also have been
some reluctance on the part of the ultra-Conservatives to unite under the acknowledged leading of the former . But the eloquence , talent , and varied knowledge of _, ir . ? i T 0 KE ' C 011 J ° * ned with his experience ot official hfc , eminently qualify him for the position of leader of an united opposition ; and by acting with the country party on more than one important occasion , last session he , to a great extent , laid the foundation for a treaty of peace between them , when the proper period should arrive . * *¦ a
It appears to ns that it has come . Though the cause of Protection is not yet openly and explicitl y abandoned , it occupies no very hopeful position m the country . Its most eminent _supporter nominally avow themselves still Protectionists ; but they have , at the same time , abandoned all hope of ever repealing the _Leg-slatiou of the last ten years , and replacing the landed interest in its former predominance and privileges . If Protection is ever to he restored it must be by some cunningly constructed plan , which shall disguise its real object under a plausible public pretext ; and we know of no one more likely to help the landlords in
any Bcheme of that kind than the astute , subtle , and ( . somewhat Jesuitical ex-Colonial Minister . On the other hand , Mr . Disraeli ' s past experience _^ _nst hare convinced him that , however he may _frws coveted the place of

leader , and however his showy _rhetr- _^ P lities may have elicited approvin _. _* _u T % P the back benches of the _Country p . _**» _tVP party are not prepared to give him tf _- ' ft'll dual confidence and support which ia ' _^ sable to the successful occupancy f _fJ _^ _'wl tion . His attempts at constructive ] -fell were , besides , by no means on _pai- _^ _' _^ _'Mw brilliant but envenomed attacks on _fa ' _^ _M tors'' to Protectionism—on whom i V _^ turn the full firo of his polished and _^ * $ ! sarcasms—and , for some time , at ? _Mir $ must be . content with a situation _su "fast ' w 3 to others who , with less real ability j _^ " _^ quired the knack of dealing with . _^ business , by passing through the sJ _^ \; a > l HUOIVlU _-Ji _.. * vii \

The formation of a distinct O pposition « _:, under recognised leaders , would put an _cy-: this anomalous state of affairs ; the onlv-Iii tica ! consequence of which has been to ] _-l the Russell Ministry in power , todo n _^ or next to nothing , Tho death of & _- ' f Feel has removed the obstacles wl _^ , ' inci _' ly intervened , and wo think it is gnj _,.,, _^ probable that the altered circumstances ' iri
nofc bo followed by an altered policy . i } ie .

This , however , we _tlu ' j _^ _( * no means likely ; and should the difficult ; -
arising out ot the newly-created Eomau C * tholic Hierarchy be safely surmounted , _ the probabilities point to tho conclusion ithave indicated . In view of such a change inthe compov _. fei and relative bearing of parliamentary parti-: the people ought to be prepared with i definitive and a practical plan of rcpresesij tive and fiscal reform .
It is again rumoured , as it was last yoav , tt Lord John intends to propose a measure o ; : Parliamentary Reform , next session , 1 _V- _? have no faith in tho report , and if it has as ; : foundation in truth , a measure , coined in fev Whig mint , would be of so paltry and v _: ife . | less a character , as to be unworthy of ae _* -f >! ance by the people . j In order to ' gain a Reform of ParlianHJ worth y of the name , the power of an wife !; public opinion must be brought to _beai'W upon tho ministry and the members , who , ar
we have shown , are just now favourabl y * te atcd for that purpose . The approaching Conference at Manchester has it in its power tv inaugurate a movement with that _rioir _, irhiVb under proper direction , may most powerful !; contribute to the speedy political emancipation of tho masses . There is no need fir concession or compromise—still less for a fai greater blunder at the pveseut _lwomcwt—fc wasting any energy or time in useless a _ i irritating controversy . If they will _atloyt a definite and determined , but rational td
conciliatory policy ; if tbey will hoist th * standard of the Charter , without direct antagonism to any class or party , ami devote themselves with all the powers at their <*«• mand—be these few or many—to the task eii evoking and directing public opinion , tlu _* coming-Session may be prolific of great itnii lasting good for the People ' s Cause . Thole . ing members ofthe minority in favour of Pan liamentary Reform , Mho have seats in ti present House of Commons , have , at varioau periods , publicly expressed their preference *'
the principle of Manhood Suffrage to _tao proposal of a rating suffrage , as embodied i i Mr . Hume's " Little Charter . " They ohM give the latter their support because they tit ™ it expedient . A well directed agitatioi ) _, _vm the view of affirmatively testing the opinion m the masses on the subject , would , we have a _s doubt , alter their convictions on that _yoinin If they saw an organized , _constitution and rationally conducted movement for _M hood Suffrage , supported by a large secticmn
the intelligent and independent operative * - ? * - this country , we believe they would Mi : little difficulty in substituting principle ! expediency . But whether they did so of >' ' > the greater the power behind themmore extreme , and , at the Bavnc time , _« comprehensive , just , and satisfactory mc'i- " _- _' _*' demanded hy the masses , would have ; e effect of lessening the repugnance of _ote'W tives of all classes , to the moderate _tcfcfr advocated by Sir Joshua Walmslev _afdud colleagues .
At the commencement of the second J of the century—in the midst of proW peace , with a population tolerably welleil ployed , provisions plentiful and _hw-f 1 _^ and a flourishing exchequer , we stand il ii unusuall y favourable position for rc-conUiM cing the agitation for the Charter ; and ft fo _manding that , at a time when no _patiidic hurries either Ministers or Legislators _rs blunders , they shall calmly and _practicti . remove from our Constitution all that ft is ; ten , impure , or useless , and make such : li tions and improvements as are required Mb intelligence , and commensurate with the He _v of tho age .
