-^^r—MORE BLOOD-WHEN WILL THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION COME! We request the attention of onr readers to an eloquently pathetic letter from the pen of Richard MxiSDEN, in our 6ih page, detailing the murders committed by the pbopertt men in the name of law. This week we have received the following letter from another trne Chartist cemmen'.ii._g npon another prison murder committed it tii&t abominable hell, the Milbank Penitentiary. The victim, as will be seen, was a Staffordshire Chartist. Onr correspondent does not state whether be has left a family; if so, their case is one demanding the immediate and hearty sympathy of the democratio party. We had intended to haTe commented at some length npon the Babject matter of both letters; press of labour, and want of room have prevented ns so doing. The omission is, however, amply made up by the contents of tbe letters themselves.

We " wish "we could for its admissions and attempted white ¦ wsshJag of the employers , reaUy coBfircned all tbat Mr . Huberts and the -witnesses had advanced . He conduced as follows : — " The question essentially comes simply to this , whether the masters or men . are to hare supreme authority —TFbicb is to have the controlling power ?

Bat no soeh attempt was ever made—up raggestion was held ont by Mr . Roberts , and -we were not in a situation bo m * ke it . The arrangement that 1 -was prepared to msk * was this . Hsre Mr .

* ' Before going into conrt , if possible , bnt if mot , rithe Gourtj ^ Ir . Marshall ahonld Btata that the Company nave nst pressed thiB conviction either with the * Iev > to punish the three men , -who are no worse than ibs lest , or with an intention to hold any man te &n agreement vhich may be considered unfair or harsh . * out which they cannot admit to be either ) , their objwri has bees solely with . a vie-w to assert the laws of Hie country , which they think have bean violated . Ana , "With ibis view , they iave proposed that on the men returning to their work , the Company will consent to
alter xha mode of levying fines for laid-out coals to the mode practised at any other coUeries which may be TforKug similar Beams in the district , or they will leave to reference in the usual way the mode of levying them , with this further provision that , % f either ihe Company cr the men object to ibe mode se fixed , It shall be sei aside , aad the men freed from ihelr agreement on quitting their houses in fourteen days , and delivering op thtir work tools belonging to tbe Company : the condition precedent to . all ifiis that they lesniiic their wori- "
—That proposition we ais still prepared to abide by —{ a voice , "" Wfi will go ont of ocr hcosea , asd be free i-a"i . "With Haess observatwc ?

Mr . Marshall jepllid that they would , provided the men weuld first concede that thsy were guilty , by returning to their work . The magistrates then locked at Mr . B 3 bert 3 , -who , alter a pause of about two minutes , ad dressed them thus : — "If X -understand ibis offer rights ? , the masters admit by it that tbe points in dispn'e are points which ought to be decided fey arbitration ; bni ihey say that bsfore they do what they thus admit they ought to do—and what

" We dare say
the 1 st of April ( All Fools' Day ) will eome and go -without either Repeal beiug carried , or Mr . O'Connell being a head shorter . Should people be so simple as to take the trouble of reminding the member for Dublin that his head is forfeited , his answer will probably be—" Don ' t you wish you may get ii ? " Mr . O'Connell is a facetious gentleman , and-we presume that on the 1 st of April he will feel much more disposed to favour his admirers with * The Groves of Blarney , " than to * Repeal the Union " between body and soul , by giving them " hishead npon a block .

TO THE EDITOR 0 * THE NORTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I copy the following from the Sun newspaper of last Saturday evening : — " An inquest was held on the loih inst ., in the Penitentiary , on the body of William Garrai , aged 51 , » Chartist , who was convicted at the Stafford Special Commission , of riot , and sentenced to two years imprisonment ; he died on Thursday , of inflammation in the bowels , and the jury returned a verdict accordingly . " Now , Sir , as many of your readers may see the above , I think it nothing bnt right that they should be put in possession of the facts connected wiih Mr . William Garrat ' s case , that all may be enabled to form an opinion upon
the administration of justice ( so called ) in thiB " enlightened" and " Christian" country (?) I have known Mr . Garrat a number of years : he was a native of Derbyshire , but latterly resided at Stokeupon- Trent ; by trade a bricklayer , and the following character of him I have received from his employer , who says that " Garrat was a £ ood workman , and a steady , honest , and upright man . " I can with confidence say that he was a real democrat , and of a mild and amiable disposition . It ia true he was convicted and sentenced as stated above ; bnt upon what evidence ! Why , upon the oath of a soldier , who swore that M Garrat threw a halfbrick , which hit his { the witness ' s ) helmet . " Now for the facts .
We all remember tho memorable outbreak of 1842 . On tLe 16 ih of Angost , 1842 , it was reported here that & body of men was coming to the Potteries from Leek . Mr . Garrat went with a friend ( who now sits by me while I am writing ) to Burslem , one of the Pottery towns , to see the Leek men come in , he having a walking stick in one hand , and his friend hold of ihe other ; Garrat being ve ^ y Bhon-sigbted , and very hard of hearing . When they arrived at the turn of the road in Borslem , they found themselves surrounded b ; the Leek men , who were running away , the dragoons following and fir ing at them , when a bullet from a carbine , discharged bj a dragoon , entered the tack of poor Garrat , jost below the left shoulder blade , passed
through his body , and came out just above the left breast . His friend having hold of hia hand , all tho while , solemnly declares that no "half brick" -was thrown by Garr&t , vrho fell , and the poor fellow , itt a Bhort time , was conveyed to the North Staffordshire Infirmary . Any body would have naturally snpr ^ sed , that even if Garrat did throw the "half-brio ^ having a buUet passed through Ms body wjf ' have been sufficient punishment . But do in ' this class-ridden country a bullet passed through » . man ' s body is a mere trifle , if the man 1 b oppose ^ to the powers tbat be . A more lingering , a xsy 0 I 6 dreadful death is necessary , as was the casevMth poor Garrat , for he wa 3 watched by a harpy of the law , who on Garrat ' s partial restoration to b '^ atth , had him before the

Magistrates , -who , as o matter qf course , committed the Btill bleeding victim to the Stafford County Gaol , for trial . I Baw him in the dock at his trial , with hia arm in a Bling , and heard his sentence . Little did I then think that I should never see him again , for I knew his heart was in the right place , and besides he was a big powerful man . O , the cursed system I - 1 now conclude , being convinced that olass legislation , like the Vampire , will be satisfied with nothing less than the death of its victim . Hoping yon will be pleased to fiud room- for this letter in next Saturday ' s Star , I remain , dear Sir , Yourstruly , In the holy cause of Chartism , G . B . Mabt .

LEEDS FREE TRADE DEMONSTRATION IN AID OF THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND OF £ 100 , 000 . AT a very numerous and most enthusiastic MEETING of the FRIENDS of FREE TRADE , held in the Music Hall , on Wednesday , tlie 13 ; h December Instant ,
THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR IN THE CHAIR :-It was unanimously resolved , Moved by J . Q ; Marshall , Esq ., Seconded by Mr . Alderman Lupton , Supported by Hy . Ashworth , Esq ., of Bolton . That , in the deliberate opinion of this Meeting , the Com Laws have produced the most ruinous effects on the manufactures and trade of this country—have restricted international exchange , engendered hostile commercial legislation on the part of other countries , and fostered rival manufactures—ha ^ e mocked the hopf's of the farmer in years of abundanceand
, in periods of scarcity have injuriously affeeted all classes—and at the same time only afford a delusive protection to the landowner . That vrt \ ilst , by these means , the physical condition of the people has been deteriorated , a far more serious evil has been created , by alienating the operative from the wealthy and : governing classes , by impeding social improvement , and loosening the bonds of social order . That regarding Free Trade as the most powerful means of promoting mutual dependancse and will
good among nations , —this Meeting holds the Corn Laws as obstructive to the diffusion of peace and happiness throughout the world ; it therefore feels called on to record its utqualifiod conpetnnation ot the Corn Laws , —its solemn deprecation of all participation in their injustico , and its earnest determination to seek , by all legitimate means , to remove trom the statute book thia foul stain on its honour and puri ty ^—this fatal precedent of vicious legislation . Moved by Mr . Councillor Cabbutt Seconded by Geobob Wise . Esq .
Supported by RietuiiD Cobdkn , Ksq ., MP . That viewing all duties on the import of food whethcHUed eroding , as a common * wrw £ , looking at the - unfttiumt danger of a more stringent retaliatory policy , on the part of foreign abutti * nri holdiugas unfounded the fears exS efiSfwe trade wrii ruinously depress the price dfagricu ? tural produce , this meeting considers the total » nH immediate abolition of the Corn Lawfas the only safe andjust measure , whether it regard the Htso * the consumer , the prosperity of manufactures and commerce , or the vindication of those SSteoS prmeiples of coma , eroial policy Whioh ttow SS ! have bo long outraged . awa Mo ^ d by FftuDEuirK Raines .

Leeds Woollen Markets . —The demand for Woollen goods in the Cloth Halls , on Saturday last , was quite equal to what might bo anticipated at this season of the year . The stocks of goods are very low , and of those most inquired after there are very few indeed on hand , On Tuesday there was apt quite so much business done ; nor are the ware * housemen quite so busy as they were a few weeks ago . Bradford Market , Thursday . Wooh—There is a sort of sluggishness in this part of the trade , f « the Staplers state they cannot arford to sell their stocks at Ies 3 rates than they have been realisiogi for there ia no giving way among the country dealers to enable them to meet the buyers here .
Jam-There isa _ steady demand for Yarns , but as it-u near Christmas , those engaeced in . the hotas trade appear disposed td work their stack close )] up , ready for stock taking ; and as the shippen cannot new send out to- distant markets , a littl « slackness may be looked for ; but we donotexptf f any reduction in prices . —Piece . —There is * , /« # demand forQrlaans and Merinos ; other goods of * Fancy natstre not so brisk . There can ; be ap dot j M that the very low price of ; goods , whea coinp ^* with Wool , induces the Merchants to operate ; jnj ) W freely , seOTffij that the manufaoturers are unwilM to lay up stock , and have reduced their production .
