THE SPINAL COMPLAINT . rpHERE is hardly a single complaint amongst the X Hundreds to which the Human Frame is liable so distressing and so prostrating as Affection of the Spine ; and there is hardly another complaint bo difficult of cure . The discoverer of an almost unfailing Remedy may therefore safely be said to confer a boon upon his species ; and this Remedial Boon is proved by extensive experience to have been discovered by the Proprietor of HAIGH'S SPINAL OINTMEMT . Some of the Cases of Cure effected by it are beyond belief ; and , were not the parties living , and perfectly willing , nay , anxiously ready to be referred to , and to testify to the wonderful benefits they have received , the Proprietor of the Ointment dare not mention them for fear of being charged with an attempt to practise upon the credulity of the public The parties , however , are living ; they can be referred to ; and their testimony is of the highest importance to all afflicted with Spinal affection . The efficacy of this invaluable Restorative has been again most abundantly demonstrated in the following two cases of cures effected within the last month . Tho names and addresses of the parties are given ; and to the parties themselves are the sceptical referred . Mr . Haigh submits tbe following cases of Cure to the notice of the Public : — The wife of Mr . John Smith , woollen-draper , High-street , Oldham , had been afflicted with the Spinal Complaint , and unable to attend to her family for many years . By using Haigh'a Spinal Ointment for a few weeks , she was able to do her home work , and by continuing its use fora few months longer she was completely restored , and is now quite healthy . Mra . Riley , Threadneedle-street , Huddersfield , had been Afflicted with the above painful aff-ction for two years . It was with the greatest difficulty that she could manage to cross the house floor . By the use of a few boxes of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment , she was perfectly cured , and is now enjoying good health . Robert Jameson , weaver , of Kirkheaton , near Huddersfield , suffered under the Spinal Complaint for a long period , being unable to follow his employment , and subject to severe pain . By using four boxes of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment he was completely cured , and is now fully able to follow his employment . Mrs . John Woodhead , Cross-Lanes , Emley , near Huddersfield , had totally lost the use of her limbs . and was almost incapable of feeling . This was a most inveterate case of the Spinal Complaint , and of two years standing . She had been under the care of many medical men , and was declared to be incurable by the medical attendants of the Leeds Infirmary . All hope ' s of her ever recovering were given up . By using a few boxes of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment , the feeling in her limbs was recovered , and by persevering in its use she became quite well . The above hopeless case was cured by using ten boxes of the Ointment . Mrs . Rayner , of the Dartmouth Arias , TAorlej ^ was severely afflicted with a pain in the back for a long time , being scarcely ablejto walk . By using a quantity of Haigh ' a Spinal Ointment , she w * 8 restored to health , and can now walk with the greatest ease . The above oases are only a few out of many , which might be adduced to show tbe wonderlful influence of Haigh ' s Spinal Ointment ; and , as the name and address of each individual is given above , Mr . Haigh hopes that parties who may be inclined to doubt the facts above stated , will be at the trouble of addressing a letter , or calling on any of the above individuals , any one of whom will give them the particulars of their respective Cures . The Ointment is Sold in Boxes at 2 s . 9 d . each , by the Proprietor , Crossland Buildings , Paddock , near Huddersfield ; and Joshua Hobson , 5 , Market-street , Leeds . .

THE " EEBECCA" MOVEMENT SOUTH WALES .
t Itotr ovr own CorrtspondenLJ fOf all the towns in which your correspondent * foot was ever planted , ( and these comprehend-almost all is tbe kingdom ) , the authorities of Swansea are certainly the most timid , and by far the most egregiooBly absurd . Your readers are aware that a collision took place last week between the polios and that portion of the military stationed in town ; and this je > renmsianee seems to hare deprived the dvie functionary at the head of affairs of the little sense which Nature bestowed upon him ; for during the past week his proceedings certainly point him out a 3 a fitting candidate for a vacancy in a lunatic asylum .
On the jiight when I Ian wrote yon , but after my latter -was posted , I ascertained that the police had refused to go © nt to their heats , in consequence of the sed-eoats having threatened to give them a ' walloping . " In the suburbs the soldiers were assembled in groups , each armed with a respectable shillelah , while the townspeeple were congregated in front of the stationbouse , apparently bent upon clearing off * ome pW acwei which they bad chalked up in their xeeollectiora against the gentlemen of the baton and the bludgeon . The magistrates and councillors , together with theii factotum , the magistrates' clerk , hied them to . the station-house , to consider what course they should adopt in this dire emergency . Mutiny and insubordination Were sta'kijw ; openly among their sworn supporters ; aid those npon whom they were wont to rely , instead oi being handed together like brothers , ¦ were fairly at dagfers' -dra-wine among themselves . The hubbub continued ; the police ( even with the twenty n&w ones who "were lately branded with the 11 mark of the beast" upon the front of the hat , if noi on the iorfchfcad ) , swore that they had uo chance , and would sot go out on the streets to be massacred . Whai was to bs donB ? A strong party of the military wen ordered under arms , who , headed by the Mayor aoc Iheir own officers , paraded Qie principal streets of thf towa . Te ' . b was between twelve and one -, bnt so grea ' was the excitement , that above a thousand people aceom panied tb ? rsrty , hissing , hosting , and moaning at th < Mayor ; while some were ringing"He woald be a knight , He would be a knight ;
O , the Aiayer of Swansea J he would be a knight " And , in s » od sooth , whether or not any desire occupiec the Woi > hip . nl mind on that score , the general fet > lin | entertained by ihe people was , that Ms Worship m certainly bent on a row . Other bodies of the military also paraded the street dm ing the rest of the night , whose presence checked the tnrf-nlenee of their comrades , and prevented tht fight wlich was hourly expected . On the following sight also , _ a conxidenble crowd mustered in front ol tbt station-houftc , and ou the Mayor again making hii appearaEce , he was greeted with rather a noisy r « ep ton . Y srions allusions were made to certain transae tions of his put life , which must have been gal ] and wormwood to the constquential little gentleman ; bui which , as I have no wish for -Mr . O'Connor to figure as a dt-fendaat in an action for libel , your readers must * xi a = e me if I pass orer * Allusions were made , howevir , which reflected no great credit on his worship , il tms ; and whether true or false , were wonderfully aoccessfnl in raising his ire . The Riot Act was his onlj itsonrt * , and it was accordingly react , and the people forthwith ordered to disperse . The proposal was met v ' vh a loud cheer , but still do one offered to moT-e . His worship is said to have applied , at this stage of tie proceedings , to the officer in charge of the , Biilitsry to call out his men and quell the riot . " Bn : that genOeman replied , "If a riot took place he would never be backward in doing his duty ; but in so far as the present gathering was concerned , if any man was riotous it was the Mayor himself . " His worship , on being tfcus thrown npon Ms * wn resources , determined to do something ; aad as the Riot Act and police setmed to be all he could depend upon , he resolved to make the most of them , and consequently read the Kiot Act again . A regular ruib was now ma >' e by the police from the station-house , flourishing their bludgeons , and laying about in every direction ; but as they were met only with passive resistance , they soon contented themselves with ordering the crowd t « " keep moving , " Tour correrpondent happened , at this time , to be passing with two friends from a temperance meeting , when one of the blue-eoated gentry told him " jsa " te wanted ; " andfor the first time in tea life he was guarded to a station-house . This outrage on his personal liberty conld only originate from his being known as a Chartist ; and from the fact that he ecminunlcates with the Northern Star . Tour " slashings , ** Mr . Editor , and the indomitable perseverance of Mr . O'Connor in advocating the lights of oppressed humanity , axe such a thorn in the sides cf the factions , that any one supposed to be connected with you is ; immediately in had odour with them and their tools . When tikento the station-house I was forth with con-: fronted with the Mayor , aad the following dialogue ensued I >? tw « en us : —•• By what light am I brought ; here ? " E s worship took a regular Irish method of answering the question ; for , by way of reply , he j aiked " if I d : d sot know that the Kiot Act was \ Tfctd" ? I immediate ^ answered , * ' I had not heard ; it . " His worship then informed me that he had read it twice , sad forthwith ordered me , in the Queen ' s name , to go boms . I was not to be so nngallant as to refuse ~ ker Majesty ' s commands ; so after reminding him that I was on ej -way home when No . 3 prevented me , I ¦ Wished his ^ Worship " Good night V and forthwith took my departure . On Wednesday , the two soldiers ' who were taken in the affray ' with the police , were bronrht before the magistrates , and together with a townsman who took part is the quarrel , were sentenced to two months imprisonment is the House of Correction . So much for our doings in the town of Swansea . 3 vill xow give you a summary of the acts and deeds of "Rebecca .
On Monday last , the Mayor of Kid welly received two viiitcra , who were far from being welcome ; bnt as they came armed with all the authority of John Dae and Bichard Roe , his worship could sot gainsay their proceedings . The plain English of the story is , the Mayor was in debt , and these were sheriffs' officers Who were sent to look after the safety of his goods and chattels . Eebeccs had rather a warm side to the Mayor , as he is not one of the busy bodies who are everlastingly poking their nose into other people's matters , and mustertd her daughters to come to the rescue . The bailiffs were accordingly roused from their slumbers , and being fnriiiahed . with a horse which had been doomed to the dog kennel , received an intimation to make themselves scarce , or the con < eqaences would be worse than their worse fears could anticipate . There was no occasion fora second bidding ; and Rebecca , on being forced from their presence , proceeded to transfer the Miyer ' s ooveables to some place of concealment where she cansidt-r 8 them . E&fe .
On Wednesday nkht , three gates sear Llsngadoek We » wholly destroyed , and a large body of Rebecca's daw liters again visited Pontarddnlais , where they beat about the hedges and gardens in the hopes of finding : aon-. K hidden parties of the police . But Captain Napier ' s forces were not in the way , so Rebecca vented her rage an trie remnacts of the gate , which she removed into j the seighbounsg county , and literally broke into splinters . On tbe same sight an alarm was given that an -ttaek was to be made on the NewcssUe Emelyn workhouse , when the marines wera ordered in from the vari - > us pieces in the neighbourhood where they had bees stationed f * i the protection of the wealthy . Tbe rearguard of one . division came in contact with "Beecs ana -tras speedily disarmed . Tbe men , three in number , wer- ioapitsbly treated , and on-the folio irirjg-moralng weieaetatlibe-ty , when it turned out that Llechryd Wei' and sot the workhouse , had been on that night doo . ued to destruction , and tbe alarm had been got up to -withdraw tbe marines from the neighbourhood , until the s ^ sir was cmnpletely ^ destroyed , Or Friday a i : » jcate wat taken oat of town , to be ereu-l at Poniar . iJulaia ; hut as the men were about to c umcnee their work , a party of Bebecca ' j daughters apj ~ wed upon the ecese , and told them that if they atti . uptpd » ucfa a proceeding they at once would dig tht-rcraves ; and thty would also advise them to make the - wills , prior io coming oat to the hills on such an t » : 1 aguu .

THE COLLIERIES . CASES BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES . Gatksheai ) . —John Bamsbay , Esq ., Magistrate and Coalowner , summoned Henry JPurvie , John Carter , and Beveral others of his hewers , for refusing to work at " 2 a . JOd . per score , " tbe sum which by their bond they had agreed to work for . Mr . Stokkit appeared to support the charce , and Mr . RoBEKis for the defence . The first witness examined was Mr . Ramshay , the younger , a son of the complainant . He proved the execution of the bond , and that the defendants bad , since the 1 st of September ,-refased ' to work at the price therein agreed upon . In croBS-examination by Mr . Roberts , the following facts were elicited . At the time the bond
was executed it was distinctly admitted by both masters and men that the price—2 s . lOd . per scorewas not an adrqqate remuneration . However , the men , from poverty and want of union , felt themselves compelled to fiign the bond and the viewers of the colliery promised that they " should be paid what was fair . '' - i mmediately after the 5 th of April , the day on whioh the bond commenced , the wages were raised from 2 $ . lOd . to 33 . 4 d . per score ; and at this advanced rate the work had been continued till the 1 st of September . The pit then becoming more difficult to work , the men required another advance in their wages . This the master refnsed , and as the men declined to work , warrants were taken out against them . Mr . Roberts also brought out , from the juvenile of
specimen Coalpiracy whom he was examining , that no "portioa of the bond was ever read or explained to tbe men . " They might sign if . they liaed , and if they did ' ntthey need " nt . " Mr . Roberts , on the part of the men , contended that the master , Mr . Ramshay , had by his own conduct precluded himself from sending the men to . prison . He had himself violated the bond immsdiately on its commencement , by giving a rate of wages not sanctioned by it . The real fact was , that the original insertion of " 2 s . lOd . per score * in the bond , was a fraud upon the men—a fraud so gross and glaring that its very perpetrators had shrunk from carrying it out . The master now said he would " stick to his bond , " and asked the magistrates to send the men to prison for not working at the sum which he had himself repudiated . Such a doctrine was monstrous—too monstrous to be entertained by any man , unless , like the plaintiff in the present
case , he happened to be at tbe same time a coalowner and a magistrate . In his ( Mr . R . ' s ) opinion , no ooal-owner ought to sit as a magistrate : his saying that he " would not act in his own case" was a mere mockery ; his very sitting on that bench was an insult to the decencies of justice . The simple case of the men whom he ( Mr . R . ) defended , was this—that the workmen , after so long a deviation from tbe terms of the bond , were not punishable for refusing to work at wages which the master had himself , from the very first , admitted to be inadequate . Mr . Stoker made a clever speech in reply , contending that the alteration in the wages was an act of pure benevolence on the part of his client , who , however , would never be generous again—so the men would get no good by their ingratitude . That the words of the bond were clear and conclusiveand that the magistrates were bound to " give the men three months" just to teach them to conduct themselves better in future .
The Magistrates retired , and were absent for about an hour . On their return to the Court , their judgment was read from a written paper , by Humble Lamb , Esq ., the Union Justice . It stated that they were unanimously in favour of the argument of Mr . Roberts—that the case must be dismissed ! And dismissed the case was accordingly 1- Mr . Roberts ' blistered-handed clients were immediately released , and retired from the Court , amid the congratulations of their friends . Messrs . Ramshay , father and son , magistrate and witness , looked unutterable things . Tbe whole concern puzzled them . They evidently thought that their brother magistrates had treated them most unhandsomely . Little I ever and Ratcliffe . —Mr . Swallow addressed a public meeting of tbe Colliers of the above places , on Wednesday evening , September 13 in .
Bouon . —A public meeting of tbe Bolton Colliers was held at the house of Richard Settles , on Thursday , the 14 th inst . The room was densely crowded . At the conclusion of Mr . Swallow's address , tbe following resolution was adopted : — " That a collection be made throughout the Bolton district , for tbe support of men out of employment at Brightmet Colliery , aad to defray the txpencea of the law proceedings . " The men of the Brightmet Colliery are on strike , in consequence of the proprietor , Mr . Grundy , having for some time past been paying considerably less than tbe neighbouring proprietors . West Houghtok—Mr . Swallow lectured here on Tnesday evening , Sept . 35 th . A society was formed and a considerable number of members enrolled .
Bradford aSD Clatton—On Sunday Mr . Swallow lectured to the Bradford and Clayton colliers on the advantages to be derived from a general organisation of the miners . After a vote of thanks to the lecturer , the meeting separated , determined to carry oat the principles of the Union . DCKSNFIELD , MXAB ASHTOM . 1 JNDBR-I . TNE A public meeting of miners wea holden at the Snipe Inn , Dukenfield , on Monday evening last . Sept 18 th . The chair was very abiy occupied by Mr . George Harrison , who britiy explained the objects of the United Miners Association . The following resolutions were moved , seconded , and ably supported by Messrs . Lomsxj Auty , Thompson and Lewis , and upon being put by the chairman were carried without a dissentient : —" That we , the coal miners of Dukenfield and neighbourhood are
fully convinced by sad experience that tbe present amount of wages paid as a remuneration for our labour , is not sufficient to maintain ourselves and families in that state of comfort which our position in society , and the laborious nature of our employment so justly entitle us to receive . " " That we , the coal miners of Dukenneld and its vicinity , are fully convinced there is no other means of raising ourselves from tbe present awfully degraded position to which we are reduced , but a strong determination , by every legal means in our power , to form ore consolidated Union for tbe purpose of obtaining an advance of wogeB and a shortening of the hours of labour . ** The room in which tbe meeting was held was crowded to excess ; and at the close of the proceedings 25 6 * 1 these much and undeservedly calumniated body of men enrolled themselves as members of the Miners Association .
Carlisle . —Disttjrbaj *« es amongst Lord Lonsdales Colliers , at Whiibhaven . —In consequence of certain disagreements which have taken place between this industrious and oppressed body of men and tbe agent of bis Lordship , periona disturbances were apprehended by the authorities , who sent off an express to Carlisle tor a detachment of the 93 rd Highlanders , who are at present stationed in the Castle . A numerous party of about eighty men were immediately ordered to preceed to vVhitehaven without delay . We have just heard this morning ( Sunday ) that two of the rioters were brought in and placed in the Gaol in Carlisle . The Carlisle Patriot , a Tory paper , with that animus which always directB tbe writings and coidr-. ct of thin base faction observes : — " If these
disturbances can be traced to the miscreant Brophy , who has been recently agitating in that district , a severe censure wiil rest on the authorities if he is not brought to an accoDnt for bis mischievous conduct . " Thus do these base tools of faction hound on tbe Government and authorities to acts of prosecution and persecution against those who strive to improve the condition of the working classes by teaching them a knowledge of those political rights , which , until they possess , there is no hope of bettering their suffering and wretched condition .
Camelon . —A public meeting of the colliers of this place and Bonnyhill was held on Thursday last , in the School House , Mr . George Meusies in the chair . The meeting was addressed by Mr . Wm . Daniells , also by Mr . Wm . Hammond , when a resolution was passed unanimously in favour of joining the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland- Votes of thanks were given to tbe Chairman and each of the speakers , when tht meeting , which was a very spirited one , separated . Percy-Main Colliert . —A number of men have been turned away from this colliery because they belong t » tbe Miners' Union . It -would appear that the policy intended to be pursued by the " Coal Kings"of the North is to drive . from the pits all who are Union men , and thus , in tbe event of a strike have a reserve of black sbeep to fall back upon . We trust that all will become Union men , and thus foil the craft of the oppressors .
A Delegate Meeting . —A delegate meeting was held at tbe house of Mr . Samuel Rowbotbam , Unicom Inn , Adwalton , at ten o ' clock in the forenoon , on Satuxday , 10 : h iost . The following resolutions were adopted unanimously : — "That Stephen Taylor be deputed to attend tbe meeting at Newcastle , on the SOth of October next . " " That Mr . Taylor have bis expences paid to Kev . « u , Ue and back and » & . 6 d . pet day wages . " That every member of our Association more than six months in arrears with bis contributions , be no longer considered a member . "— " That a delegate meeting be holden at this house on the Kth of October next
Delesat * Mxetikg . —The Delegate . Meeting of tbe LmB&xksbire miners was bold at LaogloM ob the 14 th luit , when copies of a petition whioh has been adopted by the miners of this district , were ordered to be sent to each pit owner , with a note requesting i hem to meet at Glasgow on the 20 th inst ., to take into consideration the statements of the petition .

Benjamin Watson , and carried unanimously : —Resolved , "That , in the opinion of this meeting , the ultimate success of all Associations is dependant upon the precision with whioh its members adhere to its rules and regulations in unison wiih each other , and do hereby pledge them * selves , conjointly and severally , to abide by all and every rule made in due form , for the guidance of the Miners' Association of Great Britain and
Ireland . " Mr . John Hunter , in a very appropriate speech , showed that in the vicinity of VVhitehaven , tbe wages of the miners had been reduced one half within the last ten years , and , in many instances , two thirds . In Croft Pit , tbe price formerly paid for "bagging and trailing" a basket , from llij to 12 owt ., waa 7 d ., aud from la . 7 d . te 2 s . 6 d . yard price . The present price is fi ^ d ., and no yard price . For this sum , the men have not only to hags ; the coals , but they have to drag the baskets away . The miner only gets 5 id . In some places , the coal ribee from the level from seven to eight inches to the yard . The miner was formerly paid UJ . for every fifty yards ; he has now tie same sum for
the first 100 yards , but not a farthing after , although the miner has in many instances to drag them from 500 to 600 yards and the distance always increasing —the average hours they work are from fourteen to sixteen hours , and the wages for such hours , when there are no offtakes , from 2 s . to 2 s . 6 d . At Wilsou ' s pit , the yard price , which was Is . has been taken off ; the miner is paid 8 d . per basket , and has to drag them ( after nagging them ) a distance of from 400 to 500 yards , rising seven or eight inches per yard ; the Miners there work from fifteen to eighteen hours daily for not more than 2 s . per day . Mr . H . enumerated many other collieries , having similar grievances to complain of , such as the Duke Pit . where the men had to work fifteen hours for
2 s . id . ; the County Pit , where the basket was en * l&rged 2 ^ cwt . and the price reduced Id . ; the William Pit , alias the Slaughter-house , where the men had to work from twelve to fourteeit hours for Is . 10 d ., and constantly in danger of their lives ; besides tbe men in some places have to deal in a truck shop where they have to pay from 20 to 25 per cent extra for every article they use , and often robbed of from four to six baskets weekly , for which they receive nothing but abufle , although they are afterwards sold at the same price as the other coals . Notwithstanding all this , the masters have issued a decree that unless they aign an agreement that they will not enter any . association for the protection of their labour , they are not allowed to work . Mr . H . then
moved the following resolution , which was ably seconded by Mr . Fawcett , and carried : — " That this meeting are of opinion , that the coalowners of Cumberland , have acted in a disgracefully tyrannical manner towards their men in refusing to let them have any more work until they withdraw their names from the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland , and this meeting do hereby pledge themselves to sympathise with , aad support to the utmost of their power , those victims of Cumberland Coal King tyranny , so long as they keep themselves strictly to the objects of our Association . " Mr . Charlton , in a very able speech , in which he showed tbe benefits derived by the Miners of Northumberland and Durham , through the talented
and indefatigablv exertions of their legal adviser , moved the following resolution , which was seconded by Mr . Simpson , in a very appropriate speech , in whioh he showed the benefits which he himself had derived from the able services of Mr . Roberts , expressing his belief that if that gentleman had conducted the Seghiil case at North Shields , when tho magistrates there , contrary to what he considered law or justice , sentenced him to six weeks ' imprisonment , that be and his ! fellow victim would have got off scot freq . The resolution was carried unanimously . Resolved , " That , in tbe opinion of this meeting , the Miners of Northumberland and Durham have cot imo the right seam , in the
appointment of William P . Roberts , Esq ., as their legal adviser , who has , by his indefatigable labours in the cause of right against might won for himself the lasting gratitude of the working classes of this country ; and we do now pledge ourselves to furnish him with tho sinews of war to employ on any and every occasion be may see necessary the best counsel in England , to defend the working pitmen against the cruel tyranny of their masters . That we will support him in his noble endeavours , and bo guided by his instructions , until he has , with our assistance , legally procured us our rights , and enabled us to tread our social despotism under our feet . "
Mr . Roberts then rose , amid most enthusiastic cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs , whioh lasted for some minutes ; after it had subsided , Mr . R . said ho felt great pleasure at tho honour they had conferred , not upou him , but upon then : selves . If he was not backed out by tbe Miners , he would not be able to turn the current of affairs out of its usual channel : the usual course was for the men to be beat ; the present course was that the masters went to the wall . Their usual schemes of overcoming men in a divided state was dono away with by their union ; and so long as they continued united , and
their cases , were fairly dealt with , he made no doubt but they would continue to be successful . Mr . Roberts , amid deafening cheers at the end of each sentence , went on to shew the respect which the magistrates and owners were beginning to shew to the cases of the men when brought before them now , and tbe amicable arrangements whioh could be made with them now to what could be made a few months ago . He coBcluded by urging upon them the propriety of supporting their oppressed fellowmen in Cumberland , until by their united efforts they would be able to extirpate such disgraceful acts of tyranny from the land .
The following resolutions wore then proposed , seconded , and carried unanimously ¦ :- >¦ " That the thanks of this meeting be presented to William Prouting ; Roberts , Esq ., for his attendance at this meeting . " Carried with three cheers . "That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the proprietor and Editor of the Northern Star , for the willingness with which they have always inserted the proceedings and advocated the principles of the Miners' Association , in their valuable journal . " Carried unanimously , with three cheers . " That the thanks of this meeting is due , and hereby presented to the proprietor of this ground , for his kindness in allowing the Miners to meet thereon . " Carried unanimously .
Mr . BeesJ # y then , at the request of the Peroy Main men stated the subject of a letter containing a statement of the schemes resorted to by the masters there to break up tho Union ; they have laid off one of the pits , although it ia clear that there is plenty of work and demand for the coals as soon as wovked , trade being very brisk now to what it has been for some months back . The masters discharged three men for no other reason than being members of the Union , and they intend to discharge fortyeight more Union men . There are several men working in tbe colliery not in the Union ; they are to be allowed to work ; but all the Union men are to stand their chanae of being discharged bv lot . to the numbber of forty-eight , besides the
thiee already discharged . A . n offer has been made to the men , ' if they will leave the Union , they will be continued ; but if they persevere in joining an association for the protection of their labour , fifty-one of them must go . They cannot , nor do they pretend to have , any fault to find with the men , only ; they are members of the Miners' Association , and the master class are determined te sacrifice such men , where they can , with impunity , whioh is the case with the honest men of Percy Main , as they are unbound , and although the masters "agreed to give , and demand , a month ' s notice , yet because they are guilty of the heinous crime of considering their own interest , they are to be
discharged without an hour ' s notice . Mr . ueesley went on to show > the necessity of auoh men not being made a eacrifico to principle , bat that they should be supported in the erent of being unable to procure e « ploym « nt . If th * law granted any protectio » to honest men under such circumstances , he had fall confidence in Mr . Robtrts ' s procuring it for them , as many now present could attest he had done evor since he entered the list against their oppressors ; but the only chance the men had in this case was to claim the terms of their agreement—a month ' s notice or a month ' s wages . In his opinion , the men of Peroy Main had acted up to principle and should not be sacrificed .
A vote of thanks was then earned with acclamation to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved . It being announoed that a Committee meeting would be held in Mr . BarraB ' a Inu , Benton-square ,

ley , has been appointed in his stead . Aoting upon the old adage , that * ' new brooi&B sweep clean , " he bo sooner set foot in the town than he gave strict ordtrs io the police'under his controul to allow no one to stand abont the streets , but to compel all to a keep moving . " These instructions h » ve been acted np to the letter ; and all the police have in consequence , got into bad odour with the inhabitants , who , great and small , respectable or otherwise , are { ifBtanding even for a moment in the street , ) ordered to ** keep moving . " ^ Snob being the stats of thingB , a constable , bwW in by the mayor for night duty alone , was walking along Queen-street , about nine o ' clock last night , and on passing a young woman who was standing at
her mother ' s doer , she jokingly B&id . to him , "keep movicg . " He immediately turned round , and struck her violently with a small stick he held in bis hand . A countryman passing by remonstrated with him on his unmanly conduct ; when the ' constable , ( who , it is supposed , was intoxicated , ! at once struck him and attempted to take him into custody . The man resisted ; a violent seoffle ensued ; friends came to assist and rescue the countryman , who was a respectable farmer , and a number of policemen came to the assistance of the constable . In a short time all was riot and confusion . A general fight took place , which ended in the complete discomfiture of the police and special constables , who were beaten back on every side .
At this emergency , Mr . T . T . Webb , a gentleman who tvio years ago was mayor for the borongb , and who was deservedly very popular , rushed into the crowd , and himself took one of the men into custody , telling him " that he had offended against the Jaw , and must submit to be taken to the station-bouse ; if , however , he cameo . uietly . be ( Mr . Webb ) would immediately bail him out and take him home . " This conciliatory tone proved effectual , for the man went quietly to the station-house , and was then bailed out by Mr . Webb . The mob then began to disperse , and all would in a shon time have been quiet , but some of the authorities "—thorough-bred-alarmists—went to Col . I-Dve , who happened to be staying at the Lion Royal Hotel , and stated that they were unable to keep ths town in proper order withont military assistance ,
Orders were immediately given for a party of drag oons to clear tbe streets , and it is said that the Mayor told Lieut . Kirwan , the officer commanding tbe party , to M clear the streets in any manner that he thought proper . " Accordingly , the dragoons , about eight in number , headed by Lieutenant Kirwan , and having their swords drawn , gallopped through Guildhall equare , up to King-street . A general rush took place to avoid being trampled tinder the horses' feet , many taking refuge in the numerous shops which were op <* n around . There could not have beep less than 3 , 000 people present . No demonstration of violence was made on the part of the inhabitants , bnt the crowd kept continually increasing , numbers coming from mere curiosity .
A large number of additional special constables were sworn in , and a company of the 76 th Foot p araded the streets for about two hours with fixed bayonets . The popnlace , mean while , made no further attempt to commit a breach of the peace , and all tbe alarm consequent aron the charging of dragoons , the tramp of soldiers , and the clearing out of the shops , at last subsided into a feeling of intense contempt at the ridiculous precautions of the alarmist authorities . Several respectable people were much hurt in the rush to escape from the dragoons , and tbe lieutenant ' s sabre was very often approaching rather too near the heads of some of the inhabitarns to be comfortable , but no damage of any consequence was done .
To-day the feeling of nearly all the inhabitants is very strong npon tbe condnct of \ be authorities . A public meeting to pass a vote of censure on the magistrates is talked of very generally ^ and it is likely to take place eiiher to-morrow or next day . The Times of "Wednesday has the following , from its "own correspondent . " It is important , setting forth , as it dees , tbe state of exasperated feeling produced by the gallant exploits of the brave Captain Napier , recorded in our last : — Swansea , Sept . 17 . —The attack by the police on the Rebeccaites at Pontarddulais gate , and the wounding of some of the parties concerned in that attack , have been productive of the most serious consequences . It was fondly hoped , and : indeed
confidently predicted , by both the magistrates and the police aotborities , that it would put an end to Rebeeeaifm , and that such -would be the terror felt throughout tbe country at tbe determined exhibition of force upon the part of the magistrates , that the ** Lady Rebecca" would be bo struck with ttrror that the outrages wonld at once be put an end to . The effect has , however , been precisely tbe reverse of this anticipation . The Welch are a peculiar people , and they have become completely exasperated in conseqnenoe of their countrymen bav ing been shot , as they pay , by a villanons body of police . They declare that they can prove by tbe most credible witnesses , that on that occasion the police fired at them first , and indeed that t > iey
fired before they bad passed a little bridge called the Dnlais-bridge , which is sbont forty yards from ihe gate ; they state also , that o&e of tbe gentlemen who accompanied Captain Napier and tbe police , and who is not a magistrate , used a bunting or bovrie knife , with which he wonnded several of the people . This may or may not be true ; but whether it be or not , it has bad the effect of causing tucb a state of exasperation , and such a feeling of revenge throughout the whole country , that can only be understood by persons visiting the spol and having sufficient influence with the fanners to induce them freely to communicate . I have myself seen very many persons within these three dayg in every part of ihe disturbed district , and their story is uniformly tbe
same ; audit ihrir request I was induced to examine one of their witnesses , whose statement I enclose . The pariy is , 1 understand , a Baptist minister , and be is blind . He informed me that bis residence is close to ibo Dulais-bridge , and that he has an adopted daughter , who is now about twenty-two years of age , His statement is , that on the night in question he was awoke by bearing a noise ; that this was before the people ( or RebeccaiteB ) bad come down tbe bill le&ding to the Pontarddulais-gate ; tbat being alarmed , be arose , but without dressing himself , except partially , and went down to the door , accompanied by bis daughter , who was also in her night dress ; that when they arrived at the door , they heard the sound of the people coming down the hill , and his daughter informed him when
they reached the gate . She B&id , " Here they are , coming to the gate ? ' that previously to then be had heard no firing , although there might bave been firing up the hills . When they reached the gate , one of them called out , " Gate , gate ! " after whicn they fired several shots at the house , and commenced tbe work of destruction . After about two minutes bad elapsed , she saw the police run by—a cording to her account , they were twelve in number , and they ran on the dark side of the road—immediately after they passed the Dulais-bndge , which is on the Swansea side of the gate . The Rtbeccaites having ( some from tbe Carmarthen side , ih-y cried out , " Halt 1 ' and , as « he EajB , immediately fired . She sajs also , tbat she will swear thai at that time the Rebecc&itts had neither fired at them lot
levelled at Captain Napier ' s head . After the police had thus fired , she says the people fired . 1 give this statement because , whether true or false , i ; is generally believed throughout the country , and it has caused the feelings of exasperation that at present prevail . Indeed , tbe whole affair appears to have taken an entirely different turn , and instead of gales being now tbe prominent object , the private property of every person opposed to them is nightly threatened . Tbe znnltitude declare that they will have a deep revenge , and bodies of soldiers are obliged to march throughout the nigbv upon every road , in ordeT to prevent incendiarism and other acts of violence . Last night the troops were out in several divisions the whole night , and when nsar Poniarddulau , the firing
of the guns and blowing of horns of the Rebeccaites conld ba heard at a very short distanoe , Their spies were , however , too much on the alert to allow tbe troops to come up with them , altbongh throughout the whole line of march , men were occasionally seen both on horseback and afoot , making their escape down tbe lanes , &c , and at one time they , as 1 am informed , went into a bouse where there were about thirty persons , no doubt Rebeccaites , but not in disguise , which , of course , prevented the military fri'm inieTrereing with them . In this town tbe troops alBo were all under arms , it having been threatened that an attack wonld be made on the gaol here , with a view te liberate tbe Rebtccaite prisoners confined there . Monday Mohniko .
By this morning ' s intelligence 1 learn that the PontarddulaiB-gate , which tht military went to on Saturday night , was last night again destroyed , and the tollkeeper given notice , that if any more tolls were attempted to be taken , they would puU tbe bouse down . In the Llanelly district all was quiet . SwAjtsBi , Tcisdat . —From a communication reee » Ted at ihe Star office on Thursday afternoon , Jrpm our own Correspondent , we learn that the * J * * of Swansea attended at the Theatre on Monday Evening , and wu literally hissed out of " » dib * Rk * Act , * which eall * , however , he did mUb ^! - £ "t" I kno " «<»«« that he bad ¦ S ^ a ^ m ^ S ?

We also lean that tbe Welsh papers are so grosal , partial that the peopJe ^ lac ? 1 £ rthl ? the hberor Cambrian never noticed tho Riot Aci Wing rwd » bwanse ., nor gave an , account of ihe gathering whifb led to it . m 9 Our corresponds tl * o add ., that tbe rumour-, of the row in Carj&srh-u , no-icvd in hi * ionmr account , are mainly ccm-u ; aud that four of the L&udoB police wtre te ^ rly uimkred .

THE "ROYAL" MOVEMENT . Our readers hava been put in pssseasion of the leading particulars of the Queen ' s recent visit to France , it is now our task to chronicle her Majesty ' s visit to Belgium . Half-a-dczen Stars would not be sufficient to contain all the nauseating details of the royal revels given in the daily papers : ; and , as we think the great majority of onr readers Will be more than satisfied with a brief account of the { extravagancies and follies of royalty—brie ! it shall be , j reserving our space for more interesting matter . . | Her Majesty having parted with the " King of the Barricades , " the royal potentates embracing each other with all that apparent iwarmth of friendship which moiiarchs in general , and the " Citizen King" in particular , know so well bow to assume—after a short voyage of a few hours , returned in safety to Brighton .
On Tuesday , September 12 th , her Majesty , accompanied by Prince Albert , and the members of the Royal suite again embarked on board tne Rtyal Yacht . About three o ' clock , the voyagers passed Dover , and shortly after reached DaaL Tbe Royal party did not land , but remained on j board tbe Yacht , which was anchored in tbe Downs during the night . At au early hour on Wednesday morning , the steam squadron got up tboir steam , and about seven o ' clock stood but to sea . At two o ' clock , tbe squadron reaghed Oatend , and her Majesty , and Court aisembarked . The King and Queen of the Belgians were waiting her Majesty ' s arrival . TdTj papers state that " the entire populace waa abroad , and displayed as much enthusiasm as a similar number of tbe most loyal and affectionate of the Queen ' s ewn subjects could bave testified . " 1
In vhe evening a spleadld banquet , in the Hotel de Ville , was given by their Belgian Majesties to—and in honour of—their gaeats . " The appearance of tbe whole party from the brilliancy of uniforms and stars was magnificent" ! . At night , Ostend was illuminated . The Times correspondent singles out a butcher ' s shop (!) as having been peculiarly an object of attraction from the taste exhibited by tbe eccupier in " flaring up" with ni « grease ! and adds— " I j am obliged to break off , congratulating the good people of Oatend , and indeed all Belgium , on the admirable reception given to their Royal and distinguished visitors . '"' Thursday , Sept . 14 tbl— " I am happy teaya the " sucfe-mug" of tbe C&t ' pnicleJ to inform you that the anawer to inquiries at the palace this morning was , that her Majesty and Prince ; Albert were perfectly well . " Most astounding ! ;
" Sure such a pair was never seen ' . " In tbe evening ( Thursday ) the Royal pair were again feasted at the Town-Hall . " The Queen seemed very cheerful ( wonderful !) and chatted freely , ' ( most conde scending I ) The repast was a triumphant one , served on stiver plate' j The Royal party spent the evening at the Theatre . " Prince Albert looked ] uncommonly well , but Lord Aberdeen looked particularly blue" ! Friday , Sept 15 th . —The R ? yal party visited Bruges , where tbeir reception , according to the magniloquent worthy ot tbe Chronicle , tit exceeded "the state pageants and popular demonstrations , "—" the triumphs « f aicieiit Rome , tbe far-famed field of tbe cloth of gold itself , or the triumphal entries of victorious sovereigns and armies in xnoro recent times . " In the evening bee Majesty returned to Oatend . " Her Majesty , on stepping from the railwcy carriage , stniled and seemed highly gratified with her trip . "—( O dear I )
Saturday , Sept . 16 : b . —The Queen visited tbe ancient city of Ghent . Here the Royal party visited tbe cathe dral of St . Baron ; tbe nunnery of the Bequinage ; the Casins ; tbe Palace of Justice , dec .: finally , the Royal party proceeded to tbe Town-hail , where they partook of a sumptuous banquet prepared by the municipal authorities of the town . - In the evening , the theatre was patronised by tbe presence of their British and Belgian Majesties . On leaving tbe theatre , tbe Royal party returned to the Government House , and almost ' immediately afterwards { entered the carriages of tbe special train for Ostend . ;
Monday , Sept . 18 'b . —The Queen visited Brussels , tbe capital of the Belgian kingdom . At twenty-five minutes past one , the first sound of the cannon , firing a salute of a hundred and one guns , was heard , and about a minute afterwards the Queen alighted front the train , accompanied and attended precisely as upon the former occasions , the band of the Guards playing " God save th * - Qieon . " ¦ The Royal party having entered tbe pavilion , the King of tbe Belgians presentee the Governor of the province , the permanent deputation of tbe province , the ! burgomaster of Brussels , the sheriffs , and other civic and military authorities ; who bad previously been waiting in a spacious open apartment , lined with wbita aud bordered with crimson and gold festoons . The Burgomaster made rather a long address of congratulation and thanks to her Majesty , who smiled graciously at the pauses , and curtsied very low when it was completed . The cortege * then moved off ;
It appears the " populace" did not cheer her Majesty so lustily as at Bruges , which the penny-a-liner ef the Chronicle thus accounts for : — " It was evident , indeed , in all the arrangements and incidents of this day ' s visit , that we were in a capital which had been accustomed to see royalty , and knew bow t < s restrain its feelings . " What a well-behaved , ! highly polished " mob" tha of Brussels must be ! | The writer continues—' ¦ " At the moment of closing this despatch , I hear that her Majesty , being rather fatigued with her journey , will not visit any place to-day , but will stof in her apartments until she proceeds to Lacken . "
Here ' s the cat out of the bag . Tbe " populace" of Brussels , who we believe : have no very great affection for kings and queens , but who , like the " populace" of Paris were juggled out of the fruits of their dear-bought victory in 1830 , were sot ! such fools as those of Bruges and therefore did not make such a fuss about the "little lady ; " upon which "JHer Britannic Majasty" takes the pet , stops in-doors , and sulks , and won't visit any of the " pretty places" ! jMas poor Albert ! All thia comes of having a well bred " populace" , knowing how to " restrain its feelings " , land estimating at their proper value itinerating Queens and princes I !
Tuesday , . September 19 th . —The Queen visited Antwerp . " The crowd ( say ' s the Chronicle ) was immense , and the goodnatured military bad the greatest difficulty in keeping a clear passage fer tbe English" ! How " good-natured" of the military to keep a clear passage for the English ! j The usual fuss was made , and tbe usual farce was gone through . Wednesday , September 30 th . —The Queen left Antwerp at one o ' clock . The Dutch had hoped for a visit at Flushing , but her " little Majesty" steamed away , aud took no notice of the poor Mynheers , to the great disappointment of sundry " effioial" personages , who had tigged themselves out in " full costume" to pay theirj respects to oar " gracious Sovereign . " Finally her ( Majesty and the Prince landed at Woolwich , at eleven o ' clock on Thursday raoraing , and immediately proceeded to town , and from theae * by railway to Windsor . The royal pair , w « arc "happy to say" are " all ; alive and kicking" 1
