TYRANNY OF COAL K 1 XG 3 IX SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE . TO THE EBITOB OF THE NOHTHEILN fTAE . Sjb , —Complying with the request ox" the Miners ' legal champion , Mr . Roberts , 1 proceeded on Sondsy lasi to Sj-dih Staffordshire , to collect information relative to the doings of ibe " Coal Kings" in that district ; fie Laving proceeded en route to Losdon , to obtain writs of Habeas to rimoTe tbe r : so of three Miters bow in Stafford GtoJ , to ih ^ Q : een ' s Bench , whose crimes are ( according to the opies of their commitment obtained from the Govfrnor of the Gaol ) ab . ^ enJing themselves ? rom their employment without giving the usual fortnight's notice . As their case is likely to hare an immediate thorough
jiTesUiatJoa in a supreme Court of Laiv , I abstain from staling ihe particulars now , and proceed to expose one of the cos ; diabolical outrages con . muted on tbe rights of ihe snlg-et that I have ever beard of . Tbe subftaEce of which is as follows : —Eight men were "working in a coalpit for one Janus Baily , at whai is cal'fed " the boDd . " and seaing their lives in jeopardy by tbe dilapidated state of- the roof nnder which they worked , they refused to work any ioccer until it was repaired , npea which tLis B Bntty " or "Doggy , " Bailey , summoned them before the ( 1 believe ) Biiston Magistrates far refusing to work , by whom they were all fined for their neglect of work , the fine and expenses amounting to 9 s ., and , in default of payment , thty were to be
committed to the Honse of Correction , Stafford . Two of them refnsing to pay the fine on the gronnd that they had no money , were forthwith committed . The others retained to their work , and found that the roof , nader which they had refused to work , and for which they had been fined , and twoi > f their fellow workmen . imprisoned , had closed in during their absence I—and ' tis ascertained beyond donbi that it gave way while the poor men were in tbe Magistrates' Office 1 ! Good God ! Are we in England \ Hsd these eight men bowed to the haughty dictation of the dispicable tyrant , Bailey , the whole of their lives wonld hare been sacrificed III Bui I mnst proceed . Subsequent to this , one of the men named Win . Spenser , worked all one night , ia thi 3
same pit , and having retired at the conclusion-of his labour , another portion of the roof fell in , and either buried or hid from view what he had done , upon which Bailey refnsed to pay him for his night ' s labour , and in addition kepi him several day 3 without work . Spenser , therefore , summoned Bailnr for his wages , and told the Magistrates the facts of the ease— how their lives had been nearly sacrificed—and how some of the men had been fined asa imprisoned for trying to save iheir lives—which moved tbe Magistrates to order Bailey to pay Spencer his wages , and , in addition , 4 s- towards the 95 . he had previously made Spencer pay for saving hi 3 own life I This so
enraged Bailey that he swore vengeanee against Spencer ; and having , by some villanons means , obtsined a copy of the commitment made ont for Spencer ' s tranfmiSiion io Stafford gaol , in . defanit of payment of the fine inflicted on him in the first instance for Hrtitg his own life , he conveyed it to the hands cf a pour-- constable , and got Spencer conveyed to Staacid Gaol for barring had tbe temerity to Eeek his rights I This -violation of everything approximating to law , or justice , could not be endured ; and an attorney in the neighbourhood having corresponded with the GoTernor of Stafford Gaol on the matter , pror Spescer was liberated . Bero ' the matter stands at present , Bet it is not to Ttmain long so ; v . ot is it fitting that ic should .

IMPORTAKT MOVEMENT AMONG THE JOURNEYMEN TAILORS . On Monday evening , January Sih , an adjourned meeting of delegates from different taiJcr eocieties in the metropolis , was held at the Blue Post , Rupertstreet , Hsymarket , to consult with the Central Coxamitue of the Tailors' Trade . Protection Society upon ihe best means of ad ^ ancing the general interest of the trade . Mr . E > au in the chair . The delegates present represented the four largest societies in London , viz , the two Chairmen in Wardour-street , S » ho ; tbe Three Crowns , Richmond-street ; the Blue Post , Rupert-street ; and the lung ' s Head , Biar-street , Leicester-Square ; the Protection Society , by its Central Committee , and four delegates from sections .
After the names had been called over , and the minntes of the former meeting read and approved , ibe Chairman observed , that the business for which they had met was highly important , being no less than to discuss the besi means for bettering the cocdition of the trade . It was evident thataaprincipled competition bad brought them to such a state , that nothing but the concentrated energies and iniclligence of ihe trade would be of any use . That Hydra-headed monster bad dragged them to the verge of ruin ; intelligence and eneTgy must be brought into requisition to grapple with it effectually . Let them but use their intellects properly , and all would yet bo well . He trusted thai their ddib-rra'ions wonld lead to a resnlt beneficial to all parties ; that all would nir-ti tbe subject , in a spirit of cacaour , and if any ill fceline did exist , that from lieDceforth it would be buried in oblivion .
Au animated discussion eutued , which was to the effect— Tiuit the utmost publicity be given to thnr views aiid proceedings , and the press be respectiully invited 10 publish them . Tha- ¦ he hfal interests of employers and journeymen w . Te one and indivisible , and should each be tqoaily nspectec . Taai the indiTidual interest of each , member of the trade can only be permanently consulted by a general union 0 ! the whole in town and country . Tnat without this union wages can never be Fufficisa'ly protected , or the journeyman elevated to his proper position ia society . /
Fra- the substantial wealth of the country deptnd- t n'irely upon the quaniiy of floating capital in the Edrkc , and n 3 lucessibilky to the labouring cia& > t \ -,- good wanes ( from its very nature ) producing v' ^ J ^ rr . y , as in proportion to the means which t ' ne m- mber ? of one trade have at their command must be uhdr ability to employ the members of others trades , and that ihe best interests of society can aloae be tupported by adequate remuneration for labour in eTtry case . That from this union must flow all remedial measures , there being no other source capable of supplying them . That nnless this union is formed , unprincipled competition can never be destroyed , or respectable empioyers preserved from ultimate ruin ; there bhould tbe . vfcre , b = ? no de ' ay in its formation .
Teat tte c uiiiiua : « . on of unprincipled competition ( by which the rights cf labour are set at nought ) mu .-t be the fault of the journeymen alone , as most refjH-ciaiile employers are itady to accede to the r ^ -t-oijibk- ri-guiremMits of thi journeymen . Tna . u > make this Unitn ptrmanent , or tffeetnal , the past must be forgotten ; a reconciliation among

the journeymen must at once take place , a&d a mutual good understanding cultivated between the respectable employers and journeymen , ia order that they may become 'nutual protectors . That as the principles on which the General United Tailor ' s Trade Protection Society of Groat Britain and Ireland is founded , have received the urQualified approbation of Metropolitan members of houses of call , and the laws whioh govern the several districts may be altered by majorities of members of the said society at any general meeting , there is no teal impediment to their incorporation and identification as one body , on the general protective principle—the only difference between them being that the Protective Society seeks to unite the entire trade , while tbe efforts of the house 3 ^ pf call have been directed to no more than a part .
That in order lo teBt the opinions of the members of houses of call generally , it is desirable that a general meeting be speedily called to set the matter immediately at rest ; that by adopting our principles , to be carried out in one way , a cordial co-operation may be induced , with a view to the regeneration of the trade . That the conduct of those provincial towns which have so nobly come forward in t-upport of the principle of a general union of the trade is highly meritorious , and worthy of imitation by all parts of the United Kingdom .
Several important communications were made relative to the country . One from Manchester stated that those conneoted with the sale department ia that town had held a meeting , at which delegates from the surrounding districts had been invited . Sixteen towns sent delegates ; nine were represented by letter . The best means for counteracting unprincipled competition were fully discussed . A union of the entire trade waB considered as the only meanB . The meeting wa 3 addresped by delegates from Manchester , Liverpool , Sheffield , Bolton , Wigan , Bradford , Rochdale , Stockport , Oldham , and Ashton -under- Lyne . Resolutions were unanimously passed , declaring the whole twenty-5 ve towns to be in union with the metropolitan districts of the General United Tailors ' Trade Protection Society of Great Britain and Ireland .
The utmost unanimity prevailed throughout the meeting , and each delegate declared his firm conviction that the undertaking would be crowned with signal success . One from Liverpool described tho progress of the protective principle in that town . There were three societies who supported what is called the honourable part of the trade , viz : —tho Fox , Cablestreot—numbers , 226 ; the Rainsford Hou = « , Rainsford Gardens—number 176 ; and the Foresters ' Arms , Spitalfields—number 170 . The Foresters espoused the general protective principle fifteen months bince , and have steadily kept to it . Six months since this small band of patriots called ( by large placards posted ) a general meeting at tho Menai-bridge Tavern , Freeson's-row , George ' s Crescent , and formed them into a society in connection with themselves . They are now between 200 and
300 8 troDg ; on 28 thult ., this society pi home workers called a general meeting , appointed two delrgatcsto represent them in Manchester , and has now money to send twenty , if required . Such is the effect of unions . Mr . Thomas Ganley , from the Forester '? , attended , and read letters from London , Dublin , Caester , Warrington , Loedi , Bolton , Manchester , and Lane-end , in the Potteries . The greatest enthusiasm prevailed at tho prospect of a general union of the trade , and resolutions were parsed expressive of their determination to persevere to the end . To crown the whole , 011 the 4 th inst ., Messrs . Ganley and Neviu waited on the members of the Fox as a deputation , the whole society , consisting of 226 , joined m a body , a central committee from the three societies was appointed , and it is expected that the members of the Rainsford House will shortly enter tho fold of general protection . Such is the result of rational enterprise .
Ab it was drawing late , a resolution was unanimously agreed to—That this meeting do aijourn to Friday evening , January 12 ch , and that written invitations be stint to the Town Committee , and to each bouse of call who w * to not represented in this meeting , in order that thuy might be present at the next . A most respectable master tailor who was present during the greater part of the proceedings , and took a lively interest in them , addressed tho meeting in a neat speech which was in substance , that whatever inconvenience it might subject him to he would have all his work done on his own premises—that he would continue a quarterly subscriber Io the Protection Fund—that ho would urge them by every valuable consideration to pcr ? everd for tbo a : tainment of their praiseworthy objects—that they had his warmest sympathy , should nave his corstant support , and he hoped that all respectab ' . o employers would do tho Fame .
At the request of tbe meeting Mr . E « an kindly consented to write out and forward tho several invitations . A vote of thanks to the Chairman was unanimously given , and the meeting separated with the equally unanimous conviction that nothing but the entire union of tho trade could preserve it from annihilation .

IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE TAILOHS OF bUNDERLAND . A numerous meeting cf the masters anil journeymen tailors of Sucderland was heid at Mr . Djutlaa ' , Queenstreet , Sunderland , on Monday evening , to take into consideration the means necessary to be adopted to prevent ten extension , and effect , if possible , the destruction of the " sweating " system , a system by which tbe honest and respectable portion of the niauters : ire threatened with rain , and their workmen rapidly sinking in tbe scale of physical and moral existence . The nature of Ibis sjatem , adopted not only by tho " cheap establishments" of London and tbe provinces , but also it appears by some of the most fashionable and aristocratic establishments of tbe " Wsst end , " has been very fully exposed in the Star . Every one who has read these details of tho system , -will recogni 2 i 3 the necessity of a vigorous and uniterl effort to arreat its progress . Impressed with this feeling , the tailors of Sucderland met .
Mr . W . Kyle imnster lailcr ) having been unanimensly elected to the cbair , expressed his entire approbation of the object of tbe meeting , and his determination to aid \ t to tbe utmost of bis power . Ho waa convinced of the necessity of a cordial uoion botween the employer and the employed , and bo was certain by such means they would overcome the danger that now threatened tbe destruction of both —( applause ) Mr- COATES . corresponding stcret&ry , now rose , and addressed the meeting in a sensible , mauly , aud exeellent speech , of which we can only give an outline . Having quoted from the Star the reports respecting tbe system in tbe metropolis , be observed that they need not travel so far as Landon to discover its existence ; tbe evil had reached their own doors ,
and was in operation in their own town . There were drapers in the town who employed " sweattrs " to maka clothes for sale , and these sweaters , of course , got men to work for them at the most niiseraole wageB . Mr . Coatis then gave a list of prices paid by some of those parties -which fully supported his assertion . He rtfraincd from mentioning names then , bnt if tho system was not abandoned , be would be compelled to hold tho patties up to the reprobation and sc « rn of their townsmen . No man , he contended , bad a right to carry on bis business by means which was ruinous to the physical and moral welfare of the community . That was clearly the result of the ''
sweating system . " The labour of women waa substituted for that of men , and both were compelled to work sixteen and eighteen hours a day , in a sedentary poaition , and breathing a tainted atsnospbtro , a condition of existence which the God of Natura never intended . Working men bad a right to protect themselves , and to be prottcted , by the Lenislaiiuo against such an infamous system . Bat in order to obtain the latter protection , they dust be united riuiqngpe * themselves . H ^ vinc btitfly explained tbe objects of the Tailors ' Trade Protection Soci ty of Great' Breat Britain aDd Ireland , tbe speafctr concluded by reading the following resolution : —
" That in the opinion of this meetiasr , the system on which the ready-made clothes establishments are based , Is one of public deception , and injustice , and impoverishment , and a species of competition most unprincipled ; it subtitles spurious articles for genuine ; subverts fair and boDourable tracing ; denies to industry its due reward , and is c uculated from its nature to destroy the best interests of . society : and as most © f the evii 3 that depress tbe tailoring trade , and the miseries enduTed by ^ many of the members , owo their origin to unpriBripied competition alone , this meeting resolves to employ every legitimate method , nst only for their counteraction , but also u > elevate the tra-. ie from ita present degraded position , with a one regard to the interest of all conn-. cted with it , and which can be most effectually accomplished by the Union of tbe estire trade throughout tho United Kingdom . " Carried nnaniinously amidst great apn ' ause .
Mr . Db .: scoi . l moved and Mr . Ghaiia ii seconded the next resolution , which was also carried unanimously : — " Tbat in order to tarry out the foregoing lesolution , we immediately join the , Tailor's Trade Protection Society of Great Britain and Ireland , and that this meeting appoint a committee to correspond with the General Secretary , in order to carry out the same . " Irtr . Porter proposed the tMrd resolution , viz : — " That It is tae opinion of this meeting , no union can be effective , unless carried out upon a universal principle , it therefore iecomm * nds tbat a National Delegate Meeting bs called for the'purpose of agreeing to a general plan of Organization , and tbat the Central Committee of tbe Metropolitan Tailors' Protection Society be empowered to call tbe same . "
In suppoiting this resolution Mr . Porter advanced some good arguments , and gave some encouraging information respecting tbe progress of the Society in London . There were already , be said , twenty societies in London , none having less than fifty , anii soiiw having as many as five hundred members . About 2 , 000 men ia tbe metropolis were now enrolled ; and from an excellent letter which Mr . Potter read from tbe General Secretary , J . W . Parker , London , it appeari-d that many letters , requtsting information , and pledging assistance , had been received from several

parts of both Eng l and and Scotland . Mr . Parker observes , iu hla letter , " that isolated Unions are of no avail , one general effort , based upon sound principles , stringent regulations , and enrolled according to Act of Parliament , will enable us to resist that dreadful and awfnl competition , which is fast sinking many an honest working man to a premature grave . " These sentiments seemed to express the feelings of the meeting , and tbe resolution , seconded by Mr . Klrke , was carried unanimously . Mt . CojlTes then announce * that , except the enrolling of the names of thos « friendly to the proposed Union , and the election of a committee , the business of the meeting was concluded . He begged , however , to propose the thanks of the meeting to Mr . James Williams , for bis attendance to report the proceedings , and the aid be bad rendered to it
The resolution was carvied by acclamation ; after which Mr . Williams briefly acknowledged the honour . Tbe work of enrolment then went on most satisfactorily , and the meeting terminated , after acknowledging by a vote of tbanks the services of the Chairman .

INCENDIARY FIRES . At March , on Tuesday night , about eleven o ' clock , a largo thatched barn , tho property of Mrs . Barton , widow , was discovered to be on fire ; the premises aro situate in the town , and from the rapid and powerful ascendancy of the flames , it was found impossible to preserve any portion of either the building or contents . The fire engines of the town were quickly brought to the scene of destruction , and a plentiful supply of water was obtained ; at one period , however , considerable fears were entertained for the safety of the property of Mr . Teesdale , winemerchant , but fortunately-the fire was confined to the premises in which it originated . The barn had been used &u a carpenter ' s shop , m the occupation of the It v . A . Peyton , and contained a quantity of deals , &c . This fire ia generally thought to have beon accidental , though a different opinion prevails in some quartern The property , we believe , ia not insured .
St . Ives . —On Wednesday evening week , tho in ^ habitants of St Ives were thrown into a . state of confusion , from a cry of " Fire ! " proceeding from the stack-yard of Mr . Seekings , of that place . Fortunately tho firo was discovered soon after its appearance , and tho inhabitants , of boih sexes and all classes , leut their aid in checking its progress . It is suppose 1 to be tbe act of an incendiary . Bluntisham . — On Monday evening last , about seven o ' clock , a fire was discovered raging in the homestead of Mr . Asplen , farmer , of this place , and one of the guardians of the poor . The flames spread
rapidly , and in spite of the exertions of tho neighbours , and the preaetce of two engines , wore not subdued till all the stacks in tho yard but one , and a barn containing thrashed corn , wore consumed . Tha dwelling house was saved , a , " were the implements and stock on the premises . There is no doubt as to tbo conflagration having been caused by an incendiary , as Mr . Asplen hag for somo time past biea sutj-tcted to a sybtem of annoyance . The evening buiore tho fire tho manes and tails of some horsea were cut off , aud very lately all the gates on his farm were despoiled of their hinge 3 . —Cambridge Independent .
Fike in Kent . —On Sunday afternoon , about three o'clock , a fire was discovered on Buokholme Farm , in the occupation of Mr . William Allen , of High Holstow , in this countf , aud adjoiuing the hundred of Hoo . The fire broke out in a large bean stack , and , aa it abutted on several other stacks of oats and beans of equal size , caused some considerable tear for their safi ty . Tlie family of Mr . Allen , with part of his agricultural labourers , were at the parish church , a distance of about half a milo . Upon theiT receiving tho report of the firo , the whole congregation was thrown into confusion . An express was immediately forwarded to Rochester , a distanco of seven miles , arriving there in the short space of half an hour . Mr . John Batten , agent to the Sun Fireoffice , immediately ordered the Sun Engino out , an d having procured four post-horses from the Crown
Hotel , repaire ,. to the sceno of conflagration . On its arrival two stacks of beans were burned to tho ground . Tha firo had extended to two other stactcs containing oaLs , and of large siza , which are also totally destroyed . Every attention , was paid to a largo barn that was filled with corn , and which stood but a few yards from the burning pile , and , being well supplied with water from a pond near to the farm yard , tho engine |) oured torrents of water , which fortunately preserved the building . The farm labourers rendered every assistance oa the occasion It h estimated that the property destroyed is between £ 300 aud £ 400 in amount . It is insured ia the Globa fire-office . It is but a month asio that a fire occurred on the farm adjoining Mr . Alien ' s , by firing some wheat stacks . There can be no doubt this fire was the act of some incendiary , who , it is reported , lives in the neighbourhood .
A hay-staok was discovered on fire on Satnrday last , in the slack-yard of Mrs . Sprajgon , of North Hylton , and was partially destroyed , ft was supposed to have beeu done intentionally . —Neiocastle Chronicle .

THE COLLIERS . . On Pndsy evening there "was a grand meeting in tie Carpenters' Hall , Manchester , to hear an address from Mr . O'Connor upon the present position acd prospects of tbe ColHen' Union . More than one inndred delegates were preasnt , and upon Messr-s Boberts and O'Connor entering the spacious ball , accompanied by 3 dx- Beesley , they were cheered most vociferously . Mr . Boberts -was to have addressed hiB blaek children upon the previous night , but owing to a severe cold cangbt at one of tte meetings of Conference , he wm nnable to do * o . 3 Ii . Harris , a -working collier , ^ as called to tbe chair , and after a suitable and abort address , introdnced tbe Miners' Attorney- GKsjeral , Mr . Roberts .
Mr . Roberis , oa presenting himself , -was received -with most vociferous applause , sai spoke at considerable length upon the posiiion of tbe union , and recounted tho much that had already been done by tbe law , sad the much more that the ilread of tbe law had prevented the masters and their servants from attempting . He gave a loug sketch of the life and satferi-gs of a collier , and after a most animated and eloquent appeal , he concluded by pledgirg himself to the jnst cause of tbe Miners , until he should crown them with victory . ( Loud chters . ) Mr . O'Connor was next introduced and delivered a most admirable speech , in "which he evinced a tolerable knowledge of a Miners '
life , and assigned just and sufficient reasons why t ^ e Chartists , who had refnsed to join all other ladies , bad nobly resolved upon tendering their cordial support to tho Mintrs , withont requiring the latter to adopt Chartist principles . He explained the differenco between an Orange Collier , and an Irish Orangeman , and showed tbat the former implied no Ttligiciu or sectarian bigotry , whOe the latter prided himself upon hia ignorance and subserviency . Mr . O'Connor sat down smid great cheering . A vote of thanks was then proposed by a Miner , and upon another of the bedy rising to second it , be related a heart-rending acccunt of focr colliers , who were sent to Stafford Gaol for absenting themselves from labour .
Mr . Roberta retained thanks for tbe compliment , and 3 ur . O Connor , when acknowledging it , said to tbe meeting—I thank yen now , and I shall thank you , gentlemen , ( turning to the delegates , who occupied the platform , ) when yon carry out tbe principle , " that ¦ when one of your community is oppressed , the "whole is oppressed , through his suffering . " iLond cheers . ) If then , jou consider a Stafford collier's blood as good , and his liberty as dear as a' Dorhsm man , you will dispatch your Attorney-General , no matter at "shai inconvenience to him , off , now this minute , if leeenary , to see to the li- « rotion of tba Staffurd victims —( lend cheers and , waving of hats > . Ah , but will you < 3 d it »—( shouts of " Yes , yes * " ) . Then thank yon . I Bee you will hare eo menopoly , said Mr .
O Connor . I see that 2 forthnmbnac 8 and Purhamites ere too magnanimous to make a tey of what may be made a giant—( Cheers ) . Su Mi . Roberts your undivided confidence?—ishonta ef " yes" )—Of all?—( "yes , all * " ) . Then let him act for all , make him your Imperial Attorney-General—icheers ) . ( "We will ") . Well , do so , and seno him off to gladden the hearts of the Stafford sufferers . Where ia the constituency of honest miners , who will not Bay to their representative , when recounting the fact , thonjh it may not have been a portion of the assigned business , " Well done thon good and faithful servant" —( cheers ) . This is a nighta great night—for Collit-rs , for ChartUts , foT Repealers —not of CarnLawa . but of unjust Unions—icheeis)—and for £ c eland . Tte Colliers will now be free .
The meeting , the most spirited we have had for a long lime , broke "up at a late hour , giTiuti cheers for Kobsrts . O'Connor , the Sorthem Star , the Charter , and Repeal . The fcffsct prodnced by Mr . Roberta ' s speech upon ihe people cf Manchester is wonJrrfnL They had never heard him mske a regular speech before ; and are more than gratified by the able manner in which , while acting as legal adviser to the Miners * Association , he stili stands by those principles which have ever been dear to him .
