" THE THREE IMPOSTORS . " IN THE press , and will be published in a few days , Price One Shilling , " A Treatise on the Three Impostors . " This work , extraordinary from its antiquity and point , is supposed , aDd apparently with reason , to have been written by the Chancellor of Frederick Barbarossa ( Frederick II . ) , who ascended tho Throne of Germany in the beginning of the 13 th century . It was written originally in Latin , and preserved in the Monasteries and Libraries of Continental Europe , until after the invention of printing ; since then it has been translated into the different Continental languages , and familiar to the Learned throughout Spain , France , Italy and Germany . It now appears for the first timo in the English Language . "The Emperor , Frederick II . was accused of being the author of ' The Three Impostors , ' oonjointly with bis Chancellor , De Vincis . " — Voltaire ' s Dictionary . " This is the most ancient and extraordinary boot of tho kind ever written ; it is a work or great interest to the Learned ; and a gem for all classes .

I am now completely recovered , as I believe , solely by the usp of " Parr's Life Pills . " Finding them so efficacious in my own case , my wife concluded to give them to our children , instead of the uncertain and ignorant prescriptions which are frequently recommended in the drug stores . J . am happy to say , that notwithstanding the last summer was one ef the most sickly and variable known in New York for many : years past , yet my children did not suffer a single attack of summer complaint which in so fa'al te young children . I consider " Parr ' s Pills" the best ¦ medicine ever used , and free from the objections of violence of action and prostration of strength , to which all others I have used are liable . ; You are at liberty to use my name , and on reference to me , I shall cheerfully confirm my opinion and , experience of your Pill ? .

-ncnos of Society j and especially for the poorer portion . We had imbibed Borne sort of a notion that it was the dutt of such officers to iuqnirej thoroughly ih ^ cibb , into the cause of death , whenever death occurs either from misadventure , without common knowledge ^ or even in a sudden manner . We had had alse ^ ot it in our heads that the business of the presiding officer of a CoraT op Bi : k > bd was to take all the evidence that presented -ncnos of Socno-Yj and espe < aa , lly for the
itself , especially when such e-ridence might crijnin&te parties on the death of the body wer whom ihe inqnest was holden . But it seems in all this jveha've been mistaken—ai least as Jar as Coroners in the Xorih are concerned . Thkeb Coroners are appoinieu to . shield the "Coal Kings 77 from inquiry ! Thess they act as advocates , instead of Judges ; and there they interfere to prevent the truth from being -known ! There they refuse to hear "
evidence "; and there they refuse all legal assistance io the frieBdB of the kcbdeexd , and determine that they shall be no party in the inquiry as to the manner and CirsE of death . Of course all thisis right in Goody Chronicle's eye ; and to differ from her n such an easy comfortable con elusion , is to betray the JacoUnacal spirit of which Goody prates , which « sees a ikkasteb in a human being in the lowest Etate of penury and distress . " At the risk of draw * ins down on " our devoted heads" more of the Old lady ' s ire , we shall denounce Buch proceedings as scandalous and infamous , and try to procare for £ be relatives of the jtusdeiied men all the redress ttsi thier hard case calls for .

The Pook JMxs ' s Chitrch . — " A drarchman , " at Burnley , North Lancashire , sends us the following : A poor industrious man , with a family of nine chMren , being members of the Church of .

At the end of the first year the pool min punctually paid the rent , but being Bubstqaently thrown out of ¦ work he iras compelled to piss by the second year with the rent nnp ; id . Still the family were loth to quit the church , and hoping yet to pay they retained the seat ; -but before tbe expiration of the third year the "wealthy knUdcr alarasaid ^ isposstsssd the poor lansily of theii

Not content to stop here , the rick Christian builder next put the poor man into the Court of Brqnests for " the sum of £ 2 12 s . for the use and occupation of a pew , or certain sittings in a pew , in the Old Churcfrin Burnley . " Ths costs in addition , "were 15 s 1 Jd , "which being unable to meet , the poor man was arrested on the 7 th of August last , and taken to Xincaster Castle , like a common felon . There ha was confined twenty days . He might have been liberated a few days earlier through the operation of Lord Brougham's -Act , but preferred staying as long as he could within tr e walls o ? a prison wnere he hid something to eat , to being

was imposed on the inhabitants to pay for the said repair ! . Amongst others a poor man of the name of Win Bidwell , with a large family , was rated at sixteen shillings , which he refused to pay . A summons "was obtained , and after that an order to compel the payment—bnt Mr .

The Cambridge Anti-Church Kate Association have taken up this most extraordinary case , and retained Mr . C . H . C-Joper , an eminent solicitor of Cambridge , to conduct
his defence ; and as the members are cnitfl / composed of worfring men , they have deemed it advisable to appeal to those friends who coincide with the views of the members of this Society , namely , that compulsory payments towards the Established Church are unjust To assist them in raising the necessary Fund for his defence , the smallest donations , sent to either of the following persons , will be most thankfully received : —Mr .

THE HASWELL TRAGEDY , SUCCE EDED ' BY THE C 0 XL 0 DGE FARCE . For a farce has the holding of the inquest been . A determined mockery , most assuredly , of what j ought to be a solemn judicial investigation . Instead j of the Coroner courting evidence to elicit all the facts of the case , we find him throughout the whole affair , throwing all the obstacles his little brief au- j tbority enabled him to do , to impede the discovery of the truih . The mandate was issued . The Court , and all who sojourned therein , must obey that mandate . Not an observation wa 3 permitted to be made ; not a sentence was allowed to be spoken ; not a question to bo asked ; not even the nib of a pen placed to paper , withont the cjrprcsx permission of that august and important personage , The Qukkn's Coroner . Such is the track which the Coroner chalked out ; and all who were present were compelled to adopt it , on pain of immediate excommunication from ihe important ceremony . We can ,
however , afford to smile at the would-be Ghkat Mans weakness ; feeling convinced as we sincerely do , that exhibitions of thi 3 kind will provoke their own remedy ;—will bring down the hand of legHation on the system so unsuitable to the need and spirit of 1 the times in which we live . A scientific gentleman j offers gratuitously to prove to the Coroner and Jury , the cause of the explosion , ** No , " says the Coroner , " you shall net do that , because yon are a stranger , and I will not sllow you . Besides you tcere not in ihe pit at the time , [ to be blown to pieces , we suppose !] and therefore it is not probable you can know j anything about the matter . " Such wns the reply of the Queen ' s representative . We shall reytrt to the " snbject , contenting ourselves for the present with laying before our readers the substance of what was said and dona at the " Inqoest , " which was holden at the house of Mrs . Purvis , the Duke of Wellington Inn , at Kenton , in the parish of Gosforth , on Wed- j nesday afternoon , the 30 th instant . i
The Coroner opened the business by calling on the Jury to answer to their names \ after which he read ; over the evidence of Matthew Liddle , Esq ., viewer of the Colliery , which was taken on the 24 th inst . The plan of the colliery "was produced by Mr . Liddle , and the air courses , the place of the accident , and other circumstances pointed out , as connected with the late explosion . We do not say that the Gentle-1 men of the Jury understood these matters 1 but they courteously , one and all , nodded assent . After which , the Coroner commented on the propriety of the course the viewer , Mr . Liddle , had pursued , and highly complimented that gentleman on the wisdom he had displayed : a compliment which was returned bj Mi . Liddle to the Coroner , for his sagacity in making the important discovery .
Mr . Roberts somewhat interrupted this Tickle me Toby and Fll tickle you" system , by asking ihe Coroner ' s permission to put some questions on behalf of the snfferers and the family of the deceased . The Coroner—No , Mr . Roberts , 1 certainly shall not allow you to do any thing of the kind . I will not have the business interrupted by questions from any one . It is an interference with the authority of my office I will not permit : —although it is my exclusive court , 1 have no objection of your remaining here as an auditor : bnt cannot see you in any other capacity whatever . Mr . Roberts—I attend here as the representative of the men of the colliery , and of the Families of the deceased , and I am desirous of doing my duty to them by eliciting the truth .
The Coroner—I feel myself to be here on the part of the men , and do not require the assistance of yourself or any other person : 1 feel myself quite competent to the business I have to perform . Mr . Roberta—I beg pardon , Sir . I thought you

were in the capacity of a Judge , and not an Advocau for any party . May I , Mr . Coroner , be permuted to ask Interrupted by ; The Coroner—An / questions in writing that you think proper to put through me , I will put them , if 1 consider they are proper ones , —not without . I m " t 6 ™ 186 my discretion upon them . Mr . Roberts then put a number of questions , which he had hastily committed to paper , into the hands of the Coroner , and requested that they might be put . J * ... " =
The Coroner put a question suggested by Mr . Ko 5 ert 8 , but in such a way as to avoid the inference intended to be extracted ; which being discovered by Mr . Jude , he c -rrectad the Coroner , who then put THE question : " Does the whole cauL , where the rents are , adjoin the gaof , " which was answered in the affirmative . Mr . Roberts then made a special application to the Coroner , grounded upon the course the government lately adopted , to adjourn the inquest until an application could be made to the Secretary of State for the Home Department , for a totally disinterested individual to attend on behalf of the Government to examine the state of the mine , and report the same tp the adjourned Inquest . Mr . R . felt it to be bi 9 duty to the sufferers and to the workmen of the colliery to require this step to be taken , and he should not feel that he had discharged that duty without making a special request on the subject .
The Coronor— I shall allow no attorney to remain here in the capacity of a representative of any party . Mr . Roberts—1 shall do my duty by putting such—The Coroner—If any observation is made that I oonsider improper , I shall instantly order the court to be cleared . I will not allow the business to be interfered with . Mr . Roberts then asked the Jury to protect him , and allow him to ask the witnesses such questions as he thought proper . This appeal , however , was apparently disregarded . The Coroner—You shall not do it in my Court , and if you persist in so doing I shall be under the necessity of ordering you out . Mr . Roberts—Ah ! then our position will bb DIFFERENT . If you do THAT , then I shall know what to do .
Thomas Stewart wa 9 called , upon which Mr . Roberts was preparing to take notes , when The Coroner said , you shall not take down any evidence heTe ; 1 have told you before that I will not permit any one , but the representatives of the publio press , to take either minutes , memorandum , or any account whatever of what passes here . Mr . Roberts—Will you allow me to take down my owna ideas \ or are you determined to try to deprive me of that which you know you cannot ? besides is there less liberty allowed to me , than to the reporters of the Press ! The Coroner—You know my determination , I have told you before . Thomas Stewart Bworn—I am under-viewer of Coxlodge Colliery . I have been in that situation three or four and thirty years . During that timo due regard ha 3 been paid to the ventilation of the Colliery .
The Coroner—I will not permit you , Mr . Roberts , to take minutes in that manner : I consider it a great annoyance tome : besides it makes me so nervous , it quite incapacitates me from the performance of my duty . Mr . Roberts—I will do my duty , and shall not desist from bo doing until I am compelled . What I want to know is whether I may write or not . If you will decide upon that point , then I shall know what to do . The Coroner—If you persist in the course you have adopted , I shall instantly order the Court to be cleared . Mr . Roberts—I hope the reporters will take down your observations fully , that the Legislature may be informed of these proceedings .
The Coroner—So long as I am armed with my present powers , the Legislature nor any other body shall deter me from the exercise of them : and further , if the reporters take notes of any desultory conversation that passes here , I shall immediately compel them to leave the Court . Examination of Thomas Stewart resumed—I was down Coxledge Colliery on the Uth of October , the day the explosion took place . I paid attention to the current and quantity of air in the Waterloo district , where these men had to be set to work . I found the air free as usual , and as much air passing the workings as there had ever been for twelve months previous . I did not notice on that day that the goaf had been " working , " ( separating ) . That district was not being wrought on that day . I found it in a very satisfactory state on that day when I was down . 1 went down at six o'clock in the morning , and left the pit between t-welye and
one—near one o'clock in the afternoon . Men were working in various parts of the mine when the accident occurred ; but not near to the spot where the explosion took place . The deputy examines and reports the state of the districts of the mine where it is intended the men shall work , before they are permitted to commence their labour ; both in the boards and headways . There were six men waiting at the fl * t ( to go to work ) for the deputy , John Brown , to return and report the then etate of that part of tbe mine . 1 did not see the six men then . 1 did not go there until after the explosion ; but I know that it is the general practice for the nvn to wait until the deputy overman returns and gives his report . Therefore I conclude it was the case on this occasion . We have used candles in that part of the pit where the explosion took place for twelve months past . I do not consider it dangerous to use candles there .
The Coroner—If you had , you would not havo used I them 1 i Witness—No , Sir . j The Coroner—Have yon an order from the viewer , i if you discover danger , to discontinue the use of the candles , and use the Davy lamps ! Witness—O , certainly , Sir . The Coroner—Have the workmen lamps provided for them 1 Witness—Yes , Sir ; they are left at the flats , and if the men require them they go there for them , not otherwise . , Mr . Liddle here explained the difference between crossings and stoppings , headways and boards , to the Coroner , which he explained to the Jury , who heard him very attentively . Witness—I was not In that part of the pit on the morning of the explosion ; I can , therefore , only speak generally of the state of the pit on that day .
The Coroner requested the gentlemen of the press not to follow him very minutely in detail ; but only > to give the evidence generally to the public , which ' modest reqaest wb , of course , shall endeavour to comply with . Witness—After the explosion , I examined the spot where it had taken place . I found the bottom - much disturbed ; large rents or fissures appeared in ' it . I could not discern any gas exuding from those parts , but I saw it hanging about the roof . It had not got all clear off , but was floating at the top .
There waa the usual free current of air passing through the goaf when I went and examined it : no gas came from the . goaf ; it had not been generated there . We have had blowers come off at timeB from the workings in the whole coal ; different quantities ; sometimes more , aad at others less of gas ; but there is at all times a sufficient current of air to carry it off . On those occasions it is not safe to work quite close to the face of the workings with a candle ; but when the gas gets diluted with a sufficient quantity of atmospherio air , it is then safe to work with candles .
The Coroner—I fancy the deputy , Brown , when he found there was gas coming up , went close to the goaf . Was it not bo ! Yes , bir . Witness—There is a sort of slough comes across the candle , and by that , he knew gas was present ., In going to the goaf he would travel along the rolley ways with the current of air—in the same direction —not against it . i The Coroner—As a matter of prudence , would Brown , when he discovered that gas was present , naturally ge back the same way as he came for the purpose of getting into a purer current of air ?
Witness—Yes , Sir : and after retreating about : twenty yards or so , near the place where the bottom j had been disturbed and the fissures appeared , the ) gas had exuded from the bottom , accumulated , and exploded at his candle . He had no right to expect such an accumulation of gas there . Any man might have been deceived . Instead of getting into a purer air , he had unconsciously got into this unexpected , accumulation of gas . The best of judges might have } done the same thing . If I had been in Brown ' s ! place , I might , from- the confidence I have in the place , have fallen into the same error . I should not j have put my candle out unless I had previously ! found the place very bad . Have not known any , serious explosion at the mine during , tho thirty-six j years I have known it . -
The Coroner—As Mr . Liddle is not now present ( he having retired for a moment ) I ask you , have you directions from that gentleman , that every possible precaution shall be taken to proteot the men from accident , and that if anything further is wanted you have to ask for it only . Witness—Yes , Sir , The Coroner then asked whether witness had anything else to inform the Jury of , and whether the Ju ry had any question to put 1 Witness—No , Sir ; when I was told the explosion had taken place , and the men were burnt , I could not believe it was the case .

BILSTON—The Chartista of Biktoa held their usual weekly meeting on Sunday evening last . The leading article from last Saturday ' s Star was read , and gave universal satisfaction . All agreed that , the metropolis was the fitting place for the publication of our great national organ , the Northern Star . Wakifield . —SecondNigut . —The Chartists were determined that all the iun should not be be tweon the two parties , the League and the anti-League , invited Mr . West to represent thoir feelings and interebts and so fairly test the sincerity of parties , who prominently put it forward , that the only object they respectively have in view is the social comfort and well being of , the working classes . Arrangements had been made by the friends of the three parties to
secure free discussion and fair play , —which were published in a placard : but Mr . Acland refused to comply with the arrangements , stating that he had no objection to discuss the question with Mr . Harper , but not with Mr . West . Ho did not consider it fair play that ho should have to fight two of them , one before and tho other behind : for he believed they both perfectly understood each other . Mr . Weat e&id Mr . Acland spoke » a if no other parties were interested in this question , save the parties he and Mr . Harper represented . He ( Mr . West ) appeared there as the representative of the working classes , and he was prepared to prove that both their nostrums were based on humbug and delusion . He was determined that the principles of
his party should be heard that night : and if he was not to have fair play and equal term , he was determined Mr . Acland should not be heard . Acland then said he would retire from the contest . He would bo a spectator , and when thoy had cut each others throats , he would then take the best of them . Chairmen were then appointed , and Mr . Harper , according to arrangements , opened for an hour , in a truly eloquent and argumentative speech , which was listened to with great attention . At the close another row took place by Acland and the Leaguers , who endeavoured to prevent Mr . West being heard . Thoy kept up the-most outlandish yelling and hooting . Mr . West persevered , and at last obtained a
hearing , when he commenced exposing the fallacies of both the League and Anti-League , occasionally interrupted by the Leaguers , which ' he bore with good humour . At the close of the discussion , Mr . West moved the following resolution : — " That it is evident to common sense that the protection of the property of holders alone must be a gross and glaring injustice to those who have to live by the labour of their hands ; and it is as evident that if it be just to protect one class , it is only just to protect all , the labourer , as well as the property holder ; a state of things that cap never be brought about until all interests are fairly represented in the legislative assembly , and all classes have au
equal voice in the making of the laws to which all should be subject ; in other words , by the adoption in practice of the principles embodied in the document entitled the People's Charter . " This being seconded , Mr . Harper declined moving an amendment , when , Mr . James Acland jumped out of the boxes , and moved that before the motion should be put , the meeting should hear both sides , and that an adjournment should take place to allow him an opportunity the following night ; and , if he concluded by ten o ' clock , he would allow of a reply . Mr . Hobson moved , as an addition , l % That in order to Becure free discussion , a committee of three from
persons each of the parties should be nominated to make the necessary arrangements . " This Mr . Acland objected to , which was the signal for another disgraceful scene , in the midst of which some of the Leaguers again lot fall one of the scenes of the Theatre on the heads of Mr . West and the Chairmen , who narrawly escaped severe injury The ruffians then turned off the gas , while Acland and his friends mado off as fast as their legs could carry them . The meeting broke up in the greatest confusion . Mr . Acland declaring that he would lecture to-night ( Friday ) and Mr . West determining to stop the night over and contest the principle inch by inch .

Mr .

Secretary , to stay the intended introduction of the measure into this district , and that a copy of ™ r ™ u lons be tran smitted with each memorial . " Mr . Matthew Greenlees seconded the resolution : and on its being put to the vote it was carried unanimously . John Fielden , Esq ., M . P ., was then introduced , and said , having been invited to attend the meeting , he had ^ gladly consented . Tho people of Rochdale had done right ! in calling a meeting to oppose such a law , for if brought into operation , it would reduce wages and increase expenses ; but he hoped they would not have it ; and , if the three proposed Poor Law Unions , Soldham , Ashton , and Rochdale , would keep united , they would get it repealed . In eighteen counties in the rural districts , the poor rates had increased from 15 s . to 183 . per head under tho New Poor Law ; and in eighteen
counties in the manufacturing districts they had increased from two to three shillings . ! It had been said in the House of Commons , that where the people could manage ttar own businesa ^ vell , the Commissioners should not interfere . He hoped they would not nay poor 3 rates under the New Poor Law Bill . They had done away with the payment of Church-rates by resisting payment ; and they would do away with tbe Poor Law Commissioners by acting in the same manner . Such assemblages as the present one would frighten Sir James Graham ;; and , when he got to Parliament , he would tell thfem he had recommended the people of Rochdale to resist tbe introduction of the New Poor Law Bill . He , howevor , hoped they would be peaceablfl , and not do as they had done at Todmorden . They had had a trial 01 it for six years at Todmorden , and the expences
were more than previously . —Mr . Thomas Livsey B J tbo onainnan of the board of guardians ; and , being so , I have not taken an active part in this meeting , for fear the P , oor Law Commissioners might say it was only the guardians that were op . posed to it ; but if the people of Rochdale would be true and firm to the cause , of opposing with all legal measures , the guardians would not let it be brought into Rochdale . —Votes of thanks were given to the chairman , John Fielden , Eiq , M . P ., and Mr . Jas . Fay lor ; and the meeting separated shortly after six o ' clock .
Manchester . —The Strike of Messrs . Pauling and Co . ' s Carpentkrs and Joiners . —We last week inserted the report of a public meeting of the above trades , at which meeting it waa agreed that the carpenters and joiners working for the above firm should coase work until the employers should comply with the rules of the trade . The result of that decision was that on Monday the men working in Manchester struck , and we believe that on the Wednesday following , those employed at the Bury barracks came out ; and on i Thursday those at the Ashton barracks likewise struck . Thus the whole of the men working for the firm , with the exception of one or two , who had contracted for certain work , and consequently must either complete their con- , ,
I tracts or go to prison , have ceased their labour . Wo are happy to state that the strike is likely soon to terminate in favour of tho men . On Wednesday eveniug , a publio meeting pf the body was held in Carpenters' Hall . The meeting was truly a spirited one—the spacious room being filled in every part . I Mr . Bellhouse , a journeyman joiner , was called to 1 tho chair , who said that the reason why the Com-¦ m it tee appointed at the former meeting for conducting the strike had called the present meeting , j was to lay before them a document which the Com-1 mitte had received from the foreman of Messrs * Pauling and Co . He then read the document , which ; was to the efiVct that the Messrs , Pauliugs had intij mated to Sheppard , their foreman , to say that the men . t r I >
must return to work on the same conditions as th < carpenters and joiners employed by the other build ers of the town . The document was signed by Mr Sheppard , After a very animated and protractec discussion , the following resolution was passed una nimously— " That it 13 the opinion of this meetinj that the men do not return to their work until th committee have got the personal signature of Messr Pauline & Co . to the agreement ; and further tha all those who havo worked as journeymen carponter and joiners during the time of the strike , be dia charged before the men resume work again . " I
was then agreed that each man in the trade shoulc pay a levy of one shilling , should it be needed . Th < thanks of the meeting was ! given t » the editors am reporter of the Northern Star , for the justice they hac done to the last meeting in the columns of that paper and likewise for the services rendered by that jour nal to the Trades of the ( country . The chairmai called upon Mr . Dixon to make a few observation on the necessity of the working classes being united in order to protect their labour . Mr . Dixon addressei the meeting for a short time ; after which , the thank of the assembly were given ito him and the chairman and the meeting separated . 1 ,
Explosion at the Coxlodge Colliery . —Our readers will , no doubt , remember a report of this : " Visitation of Providence" recorded in our last . , Thoy will also bear in mini ! that the explosion was j caused by John Brown , j an inexperienced man , ' who was a black-lej ; during the late strike , but who j from being related to Stewart , the overman , was 1 raised above the experienced men to the rank of deputy , and entrusted with the lives of the mon in tho pit . This deputy ( despite of the remonstrances of the men ) , went into th « -i » goaf , ' ( the most dangerous part of the pit ) , with 1 a naked candle , and the sudden " visitation , " or " accident" was the consequence . It should also be remembered that when \ the men waited in a body on the morning following upon Mr . Lyddell , the viewer , and represented to i r 3 : ' "I 13 '• J I 10 I LS n 33 r " ie e " , m < ! 1
him the impropriety of trusting so many lives to in- ' experienced deputies , that that representative of coal-king aristocracy admitted " that the men were ' not qualified for ihe office to which he had ap- ' pointed them , " and promised to remove them to j other work where no such ! responsibility would de- j volvo on them . —The Newcastle paper , in reporting < this " visitation" last week , concluded by sayiug , j " But we are happy to inform our readers that th ^ ; explosion was of 1 . 0 importance . " Since then , one of the " no importance" victims , William Collins , i has died . A jury was summoned on Tuesday last to inquire into the cause of his death , which was adjourned uutil Wednesday ( next , when Mr . W . P . ! Roberts will be there to investigate into the cause j of " visitation" in this , as in all other cases , " per-1 fectly safe" pit . ° f | re J I ' ° I * ! , 7 j 'I : , q ¦ ' I j . i > ' . " I ' I "
