Padihak . —Mr . Wm . BeeslEy paid a visit to this town on . Monday last , to itqaire into the grievances of the Apron Colliers , now on sinke ; and to endeatout to bring about a reconciliation between the masters and the men . As soon a 3 Mr . Beesley arrived , a number of the men on strike started to make it known w the Colliers ; and in less than one hoar they came in large Bnmber 3 from the pit , and filled lhe large room belonging to the Dun Horse Inn . Mr . B . was made acquainted that xhat day another Colli * Ty ( the largest m the neighborhood ) had struck work ; asd in a short time the men would meet him to have his advice . Very shortly they made their appearance , —the room being filled and ike stairs crowded . Hi . B . commenced
speaking ; he spoke for two hours ; and was ofteD inserrupted by enthusiastic bursts of applanse . He clearly showed the evils arising from partial Strikes ; and recommended that no other Colliery should strike until the Union was more periect . He next entered opon tfce principle of restriction ; and by tbe argu-BiEEts bs advanced , and the way in which he handled hi 3 subject , he made a settled and lasting impression upon the minds of all who heard him , ihat it is the duty of Miners to abide by tbe rules of the Union , and carry out to the ntmost eztent the restrictive principle . At the conclusion of lia address he was greeted with most rapturous applause . The Colliers who had strHck work that morning then requested Mr . B . to stop with them for a short time , acd grre to them his advice . He did so . Mr . B . recommended the men to go to work next morn *
ns £ , and appoint two men from * -ach pit to wait cpon ifee master , and lay their statement before him . To this the men agreed . Mr . B . then left the Loose , wiih the men who had struck work . Mr . Beesley afterwards had an opportunity of himself seeing the master , and reasoning with him upon the subject ; the result of which was this promise : Thai all who were dissatiffkd were to see him , and he would grant them what they wanted . The Truck System 13 carried on to an alarming extent in Korth Lancashire . In seme Colleries tber- are men who for the last fourteen months have but received a few shillings in money , ha-rirg had th ^ ir wages nearly wholly paid in goods , iweniy per cent , higher than could be purchased at other places .

A Cbuei . am ) Wastos Act of OpyBxjsiox was committed at the Blacker Hiil Coal Pit , at Elsecbar , on a per .-on of tbe name ol Thomas Bedford , by George Huff , the under steward . The poor fellow was taken ill on Saturday , the 6 th insr ., and wanted to come OHi , but the callous-hearted wretch , refused him permissinn . Bedford had at the time he was taken 111 performed the amount of vrork whicn is required to bedonebythe men on iheSaturday before they are let out ; but tbi 3 inhuman monster would
Dot let the poor man out , though he might have perished for want of the pure air of Heaven , until * U tbe other men had done their work . This act pf oppression made a deep impression od every man ia the pit , who resolved one and ail to join the Miners' Uuiod , as the only means of rescuing themselves from the trammels of their taskmasters and their vile instruments of oppression ; and accordingly on Saturnay night last , they all came in a body a distance of fhe miles to Barasley , and entered the Association . The men stated to the writer that they suffer the most cruel robbery at the pitthai the weight of their corves should be only Eeven hcncred , but that they are csmpelled to have them cine huBdred and a ^ uarter ; and that even then their corves are objected to , and their mettles thrown £ ottd and robbed to the amount , sometimes , of £ ve KuiEngs ptr week .

THE HINE&S OF » ORTBTj * BKB . LAM » aUD DURHAM ; TO KMPLOT £ BS , AGENTS , AXD ALL OTHEHS . COKKJJCTED WITH MINES AM ) COLLIERIES . "Let not ambition mock their useful toil , Their homely -fare and destiny obscure ; IS ' or grandeur bear , with a disdainful smile , The short but simple annals of the poor . "—Gat . Bkethbes aj « d Fbiekds , —There never waa a period in tbe annals of mining 'when a greater amount of poverty and slavery existed than that which exists at the present time K er was there ever a period when unanimity between employers and workmen ought to exist more Ih&n at this crisis . Employers as well as woriunen are feeling the baneful tffe : ta of the present over-prodncing and poverty-making competitive systems , ¦ which are destroying the profit of the employers , and driving the industrious workman to seek a home
for himself and children in that worst of refuges—a Union Workhouse . Year after year has brought an increase of tbeiours of labour , until in lS 4 i we find oureelTes worse than tbe African Slwe or the Russian Serf : we ray worse , fer we find the slave who ia reported to bti bought and sold like cattle in the market , works but eleven hours , while the free vkite man in dear happy England , where we have no slaTery , has to work from 14 to 22 beurs per day . Of this we are assured by the fact t ? iat thousands of . Misers , in Scotland , in many conn ties of England , and parts of "Wales , at the present time work more hall-days than whole ones ; and these half-days average from nine to eleven and as ranch m fourteen hours ;! and for these long hour * Miners receive sot sjoto than fivm Is . 6 d . to 1 * . 9 d . From this it will be seen that the nominal price of a day's work has not been diminished , while the hours of toil have been increased nearly
threefold-Of the past it is useless to complain ; let us , therefore , provide against the future . The objects of the Miners' Association of Great Britain and Ireland are , limply , "To unite the Coal , Lead , and Iron-Btone Miners of Great Britain and Ireland , with a view to equalise and diminish tbe hours of labour , and to obtain the higheft possible amoant of wages for the labour of the iJiaejr . " Why do we seek to unite ? Because we conceive it to be the most effectual means Itft us to better our degraded and miserable condition ; because we wish a cordial and good understanding to exist between C > ai Owners and Coal Miners ; because we have seen tbe injurious consequences of masters and men being perpetually acting against , instead of forwarding tbe interest of each other : because we think
by union we may and -can destroy the system of competition that exists between strong men and weak men ;; between great capitalists and small capitalists—tbe latter acre wing tbe workmen down to a starving point by paying him , if be pays at all in the current coin , in & public bouts ( as in Staffordshire and several other counties , ) wb-tre tbe workman is compelled to spend a portion of his wages , or forfeit his employment ; but it more freqneatly happens that tbe wwimfen employed by -wbat are called gsffsrs or butties are not paid in money , bnt in goods of an inferior qua . ity , for which tbe poer Miner has to pay from twopence to threepence in tbe shilling more than be would have to pay
in any market or sbep ' . Under these circumstances the tsonfcst employer aud fair-trader are robbed , and the poor workman and bis family are to be se ^ n in rags and ¦ wretchedness ; his bome , a borne of misery , and bis whole life one urvaried scene of unremitting toil , for email remuneration ; bis food coarse , unwholesome and scanty ; bis clothes , and those of his wife and children , literally rags ; while his mind and those of hia familj are as dark aud cheerless as tbe mine in which be labours . Ought this to be the case ? Should men , able and willing to work , and who , by their work , bnild palaces and gf ? e to thousaudB their daily bread , be deprived of tbe knowledge and comfort their industry creates ? Truly , we may say , no !
" " VTe toil , we spin , we delve tbe mine , Sustaining each bis neighbour ; And who can call that rigbt divine That rybs us of but labour ? " Southet . It is to put a period to this » tate of things that we are now uniting ourselves with our brethren throughout tbe country- We only seek jost and pr « ptr wages . We unite not for tbe pnrpose of having a " General Strike , " bnt if we ibould be driven to liat dernier resort it will only be in self-defence -, and it should be remembered that tbe greater part of tbe strikes that have taken
place have been to resist reductions , Dot to demand advances of wages . We unite to reduce tbe hours of labour , to call into employ tbe unemployed , and ultimately to make tbe product of our labour Bcarce in the market , aud tins gift an advance of profit to tke employer and better wages to the workmen . These , and these only are tbe objects whicb we have in view . This would have a tendency to lesson poor rates , aud to make tbe condition of thoBe dependant on tbe labour of Miners mneb better than what it is . We have no secrets . ; all is done openly , and to any of our meetings all are invited .
To our employers we say , examine our principles . Ask what it is that has reduced your profits and our labour . We say oTer-production and competition . When we worked less hours we were better paid , and we are certain that your profits were greater . Aid us to protect your capital aiid ours from the ineTitabl 6 ruin wbicb must succeed tbe present state ot things , if they be not altered . We wish to be at peace with you ; but there cannot be peace nor happintss ¦ where men and masterB are at continual -variance . We are not so ignorant as to believe ihat be who sinks bis capital should not bt remunerated . We think be should ; bnt while we admit tbis , we claim the same protection for our capital , namely , onr labour . Do not then offer any obstruction to onr simple plan of amelioration aud protection .
"BE JVST A > D FEAB SeT ! Magistrates . ' yen are tbe difpeusers of justice ; the £ rssd & / evil-doers ,- tbe aibitrators between workmeD and masters . We trust you will be diligent in your inquiries into tbe nature and object of the Miners' Ab-Bociation ; and when yon find by such inquiries , as we are * ure 5 ou -will , that cui A&soci&tiwii is based upon truth and justice , intended to take eo power from the honest and upright employer , nor to in any way countenance the unprincipled workman , yon will , as impartial men , shied us froHJ the tyranny and injnstice to wbicb unjust and dishonest masters subject ua on account of onr poverty and ignorance . ilinisttTB of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ ! we appeal to you to preach against the injustice to which we are being subject . Tbe txcessive toil , and
tbe length of hours preclude tbe possibility of us bein ^ tnabled te attend tbe means of grace . Do you wish that we Ebonld attend them ? if you do , follow the example of onr Great Master , tbe Author of our common religion . Be n > t afraid of tbe frowns of the unjust and tbe ungodly . Boldly declare " the labourer is worthy of bis hire , " and tbat E : glishwen ought not to be slaves in a land professing to be frea It only r < quirea your aid that it sbonld be so . Let ns have your countenance and help in to holy a cause as tbat of reducing our tours of -labour . It is the only means we seek to raise our wages- Shall we lave your co-operation in this good work ? Come and be to ua a shield of defence , and msy every one of your kind acts gain for yon " treasures in Heaven , where neither moth doth csrrupt , nor thieves kreak tirough and steal . 1
Manufacturer * ! Tradesmen ! and Shopkeepers . you are deeply intereated in onr welfare . There have been Unions in former timeB : in the yc « 1831 , the pitmen of Northumberland and Durham gained an advance of wages equal to tbe reduction in tbe ten preceding years , amounting upon the whole to tbe enormous earn of £ 300 , 000 , at tbe sme time reducing the hours of labour from fourteen to twelve honra per day ; but tbe masters Buccerded in persuading a vast Dumber of them that they would not be bo bad as they bad been , therefore , the Union went down , and since that time our wages have gone down also , and our condition has been constantly deteriorating antil at tbis period we are not earning more , on the average , than 13 s . per teeth , which when contrasted with £ 1 4 a . 6 d . per tree * , the Kaoet paid when in Vxion , 2 » afeove . staH m \ at

We are robbed out of 9 d . per d ^ zen by some , and 1 * . per dozen by others : —we have slack to hurry 100 yards for nothing , which takes two men to do that ; we ought to have Is . 2 d . per dozen ; aDd if they would allow us to send it out , it would be a double advantage to us ; bat they bury that which would be greatly esteemed by thousands of luckless individuals , having , at this day , cheerless and fireless homes .

Mr . Clark ' s Tour . —On Monday , I attended a public meeting at Plymouth , Mr . Petree , a veteran Chartist in the chair . Mr . Blackmeor , in an able manner proposed , and Mr . Lock wood seconded an admirable resolution in favour of tbe Charter . I spoke about an hour and a half in support of it , and bad tbe pleasure of seeing it unanimously adopted . I enrolled several members , and tbe meeting quietly dispersed . — On Tuesday , I lectured to a very crowded audience at Davenport Tbe best attention was paid to my address , which occupied about two hours in delivery . At tbe close , the unanimous thanks of the meeting was awarded me , and I bad tbe pleasure of adding eight new members to the ranks . —On Wednesday evening , tbe friends at Plymouth met end sat down to a
substantial supper at the home of Mr . Blackmoor . —On Thursday , I went ia company with several ef the leading Chartists , to a great Anti-Corn-Law meeting , at tbe Plymouth Mechanic's Institute . A Mr . Collier , son to an ex-M . P ., and himself a disappointed Candidate for Parliamentary honours , lectured on Free Trade . At tbe conulusion , tbe Chairman signified bis intention to permit discussion . Of this I immediately took advantage , and replied to tbe sophisms and absurdities advanced by tbe " educated" lecturer . I was listened to very patiently , interrupted only by repeated marks of approbation from many who bad been deluded by tbe cry of " cheap food . " Ten minutes is the time usually allowed to opponents , but I was allowed to speak ab » ut forty minutes . I was replied to by the Town Clerk of
Davenport , who attempted to make it appear , tbat as I bad denounced machinery as a cause , I must as a matter of course , want to destroy it , but it was " bo go . " The audience told him be was acting dishonestly , as J bad plainly stated that machinery , under proper political and social arrangements might be made a blessing . I bad a second reply , after which the meeting breke up , mure diss 8 . ; tisnei with the phantom of Free Trade than ever they bad been before . Many of them requested me to name a night when it would be convenient for me to deliver a lecture on the subject . Tbe Chartist Council finding tbe desire for a meeting so general , have arranged for a lecture on Tuesday evening next , wben a bumper is expected . Tbe League has been moving beaven and earth in and about Plymouth , and have made tbe fallacy ' ef Free Trade ratber popular , as most of tbe working men are employed under Government , consequently they are not subject to tbe fluctuations of
the Hianufacturlng operatives , and they fancy any reduction in the price of commodities would enhance the value of their wages , as tbe nominal value of their wages would still be tbe same , whatever might be tbe price of the articles of consumption . —On Friday I proceeded to Newton Abbott , attended a meeting , lectured an hour and a half , and at tbe close enrolled several members . —On Saturday , I proceeded to Tor < ua , a small town on tbe coast of Devonshire . It is a favourite resort of tbe Aristocracy . There never had been such a thing as a democratic meeting of any sort in tbe place . Nevertheless , I found out a few of the right sort , got a large room , and sent round tbe crier , and at eight o ' clock bad a good meeting . I spoke upwards of two hours . I met with a little interruption , but tbe parties finding I was not to be put down by their clamour favoured the meeting by retiring , and all passed off quietly . At tbe conclusion I enrolled ten hi embers . —T . Clark . Manchester . —carpenters' hall—a
public meeting was held in the Carpenters' Hall on Sunday last , convened by placard , of which tbe following is a copy : — "THE MURDERS OUT IS IT ? Those who wish to hear hypocrisy unmasked must attend the Carpenters' Hall on Sunday evening next , at balf-past six o ' clock , wben a lecture will be delivered by Mr . James Leach , in wbicb be will review the lying and hypocritical placard that has disgraced the walls of our town for tbe last few days . It is particularly requ « Bted that the ' OHve-us-our-daily-bread ' folks will attend and defend their lying and sycophantic production if they can . " As might be expected tbe spacious hall was crowded in every part , and many bad to ge away who could not gain admittance . The meeting was opened by a Charti » t hymn being sung , after
which Mr . Ctrocott read Mr . O'Connor ' s letter to the Editor of tbe Leedt Mercury from the Sfctr of Saturday last , amid the most enthusiastic applause . The Chairman then introduced Mr . Leacb , who , in his usual happy manner gave the big guns of the « Anti-Corn Law League ' a castigation tbat they will not soon forget He nest took up the question of inconsistency as urged by the League against Mr . O'Connor , and vindicated tbat gentleman ' s conduct in a manner which did him honour . Mr . Leach then read quotations from the speeches of Cobden and Co ., and proved them out of their own months to be the most inconsistent reptiles living ; and from their own speeches proved them to flay one thing in Manchester and another thing in the House ot Commons : that tb . es told tbe people ol Man-

chester tbat a Reptal of tbe Corn laws would make corn cheap "; and in the agricultural districts tbat it Would have a contrary effect . Mr . Leach concluded by an able expose of tbe doings , of the Leaguers ia Manchester and Asbton-under-Lyne , within tbe last few months , wbicb elicited unbounded applause . Tbe chairman tben invited any gentleman to come forward , who differed with Mr . Lsach , but it was " no go . " > Ir . Dixon » hen rose aud said , that it appeared tbat " One of Yourselves" was not present , or if he was , " One of Ourselves" had given him such bard bits tbat the wind was knocked out ef him . He ( Mr . Dixon ) rose for the purpose of fulfilling a duty which be , as a working man , owed to . James Leach , for the manner in which he had , at all times , defended hia
rights in common with the working classes generally . They owed much to Mr . James Leach for the knowledge wbicb be had given them ; on the hellish factory system . He also believed that , next to Mr . O'Connor , the " League" wished Leach at the devil . He therefore moved the thanks of the meeting to Mr . L . for his present lecture , and also for his past services in tbe cause of the suffering poor . ' Carried unanimously . Mr . Leacb acknowledged the compliment ia » a neat speech , which concluded the meeting . The League placard has done more good in ; Manchester for Chartism than any tbiug tbat has taken place for the last twelve months . It has aroused the indignation of the
people against the robbers who plunder them daily and hourly of their hard-earned wages ; and , moreover , it as had the effdet of filling our coffers with tbe sinews of war , which will enable us to carry the war into the enemies' camp . Would to God they would call a public meeting to test thn public opinion of Manchester ! they would find out tbat they and their crotchets were truly detested by the working men of this great emporium of commerce , and tbat nothing but the Charter , whole and entire , will satisfy the Lancashire lads . They are sick of expediency mongers , and are determined upon having their share in any benefit that m : iy arise from a change in the laws of tbe country .

FRANCE . —The Gazette de France announces , on the authority of a private letter from Munich , that the Duke d'Angouleme has sunk under the malady with which he has been for some time afflicted . The inauguration of the monument of Molieretook place on Monday , with great ceremony . All the municipal authorities , with deputations from the different learned Societies , were present , and four addresses were delivered . The National Guard and the Municipal Guard , were on duty , and the crowd assembled was immense . It was feared at onetime
that there wonld be some disturbance , in consequence of the students of medicine and Jaw having reBolved to assemble , and proceed to the place of inauguration in procession . They did assemble accordingly , but on arriving at the entrance to the Rue Richelieu , they found . barriers erected , which prevented their approach , and the Municipal Guards ready to defend them . After a short parley , finding , that the orders were positive v for their non-admission , they prudently retired , and they afterwards paraded the Rue Vivienne , and the neighbouring streets and boulevards , in procession . The whole matter went off quietly .
The papers are generally ^ filled with the discussions in anticipation of the debate on the address in , the Chamber of deputies wh ^ ch commenced on Monday . The Legitimist pilgramages to London would form a prominent subject of discussion , the opposition having taken great offence at the violent terms in which the address alludes to * them . This part of the debate has received further interest from a letter published by the Duke of fitzjames ia the Gaxette de France , and addressed to ? M . Guizot . The royalist duke feels deeply injured by | the expression " scandalous , " used by M . Guizot , in his speech in the Chamber of Peers , when speaking of the addresses presented to " Henry of Fraace , " in Belgrave-square , and in this letter not only makes a violent attack upoa the minister , but throws out a sort of defiance to the Government of July . The Gaxette de France of Sunday ,. say 9 that it was currently reported that the Duke of Fitzjames bad been summoned before the Chamber of Peers .
Chamber of Defctjes , Mondav , Jan . 15—At one o ' clook , M . Sauzet , the President , took the chair The public galleries were crowded with spectators , but few deputies were in attendance , and the sitting did not commence until twojo'clock . Two amendments to the address were deposited on the table . The first , by M . Pierre David , was as follows : — " We trust , Sire , that the noble country which has given its blood and treasures to constitute a free people' between Europe and Asia will not be deceived in its hopes . May your high wisdom and the negociations of your Ministers secure to Greece an extension of territory necessary to the consolidation of the Throne , and th » independence of the nation . "
M . Berryer . the Legitimist Chief , then demanded a hearing in teference to the paragraph in the address censuring his party . M . Berryer defended the conduct of the deputies and others who had visited the Duke of Bordeaux . They had gone to London , he admitted , to present their homage to the heir of a long series of kings , under whose sway France had been raised to the first rank among nations in point of power and civilisation . He entreated his colleagues ( whose murmurs often overcame his voice ) not to treat with contempt the past glory of their history . ( Here M . Dupin interrupted M . Berryer , and said , " We have to-day inaugurated Moliere's monument . " A . long tumult having
ensued , M . Berryer abruptly left the tribune , but , on' the invitation of M . Guizot , he reascended it , and continued hid speech . ) He contended that the Legitimist leaders who went to London told the Duke of Bordeaux salutary truths as to the state of the country , and the past faults of his family , which were received by a Prince capable of comprehending them and prepared to hear them , because he was innocent of the faults attributed to his ancestors . M . Berryer concluded by declaring , that whatever might be the resolve of the Chamber , he and his friends would continue to sit among them , and attend to the general interests of the
country . M . Guizot replied to M . Berryer . M . Dupin strongly dsnounced the Legitimists , and was as strongly replied to by the Duke de Valmy . M . de Laerry , and tbe Marqis de la Rochejacquelin , energetically defended the Legitimists , but were listened to with much disapprobation . The discussion closed at half-past four o ' clock . SPAIN : —A decree has been published in tha Madrid , Ga * ettct repealing the Act by which the Queen ' s mother's pension was suspended . Tbe effect ot thia will be to put a handsome sum into Queea Christina ' s pocket ; not less than ^ 70 , 000 . The pention is £ 3 ( 1000 per annum .
The War in Catalonia . —The fort of Figueraa has surrendered to the armies of tbe Queen . In the morning of the 11 th inst ., the capitulation , ratified by the Government , was definitively signed by the CapcainrGeneral and Amettler . On the 12 th , the fort was occupied by the Queen ' s troop 3 . Most of the officers of Amettler took passports tor France . Meantime alarmiug news of civil broils in Saragossa , aud preparations for a new insurrection ia Gallicia * pervade the journals , and throw a saddening shade ever the approacbiug sptiug—probably t » be spent ia civil war .

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS . FRANCE . —The Chambers . —Tuesday , Jan . 16 . —The President took the chair at one o ' clock . The Chamber was by no means Z 9 well attended as on the day before . M . Guizo * , and some of the other Ministers , entered a little before two o ' clock . M . Berryer , and the Legitimist Deputies were present . M . Gcstavb de Beaumont delivered a speech strongly denouncing the sp ch from the throne * stating that it wa ^ marke d by one capital vice—it wai not true ; nor in accordant 0 with the sentiments of the CDuntry . He would refer , as a proof of his assertion , to the state of the country , which he denied was flourishing , and to the real returns of the various branches of revenue—for the statements given in the budget were nothing but fabulous aseertiont—( erin of " Hear , hear" irom the Opposition benches ) . He concluded by calling on the Chamber to declare loudly its sense of the conduct of the Ministry .
M- Tniers made a long sprrsh , attacking , the Ministry principally on the Right of Search question . There was nothing in the little intDgue / 3 sdeech worth extracting . M . Duchatel , the Minister of the Interior , repliep to M . Thier's addrc 3 s . M . Thiers spoke again itt-reply , in which he defended his foreign policy , and said that his Ministry were no more guilty ol exciting an European war than the Ministry themselves of exciting a civil war by the rosus . He w ; s proc : edinp with further remarks , but the impatience of the . House prevent- 1 him .
After some other Deputin had spoken , the general ducussion ckr d , and the Chamber adjourned . On Wednesday the debate was resumed by the first parr - ; rapb of the addrens being read , when M . Ducos spoke bis objections w ithout captivating the attention of the Chamber . The C jmmerce Minister , he 8 a » d , admitt i tha great depit aion of tne Bhij ping interest * which strangely contradicted the expression of the address—that " commerce waa taking a rapid flight .
