All these enres have been effected Jn me , by the use : of PARR'S LIFE PILLS .

Nqtb . —Ysu are at ftberty to aake use of the above statement , in any way you please ; I am ready % 9 answer any question put to me relating thereto . R . W . R . Messrs . T . Boberte and Co ., London To Mr . James Arthur , Bookseller , Kickergate , Carlisle . SiRi—I cannofc refrain from expressing the deep gratitude I feel , fbr the great beaefa ' t 1 have derived from taking Parr ' s Life Pills . For tho space of eighteen months J was seriously afflicted with * complaint of the stomach , accompanied with severe pain and flatulency . During that time I had much medical advice , and was a patient' at the Carlisle Dispensary , for six months , but without deriving the slightest benefit whatever . I also tried several patent medicines , but without experiencing any benefit . I' was worn out to a complete skeleton , —had a severe cough and spit , and was also troubled with Diabetes , and had no hops of ever recovering ; fortunately , however , I was informed by some of my neighbours , of the great benefit they had derived from . P&tr ' s Life Plils , purchased from yoa » I accordingly agreed to give them a . trial . I did soand during the last eighteen months , I have taken ^ about twelve boxes , which have been attended with the most happy results . I am now quite well in health , and am labouring very long hours . I haveconsidered it my duty to recommend this excellent medicine to others , and &ua happy to be able to statethat it has been attended in many cases ,, with veryfavourable results . I remain , Sir , your obedient Servant , JOHN DAVIDSON , 31 ay maker , Rigg-street , Caldewgate Reference can be made to Mr . James- Abthuh Bookseller , Rickergate , Carlisle , who can bear tes * timony as to the great benefit derived by many others from taking the above-named medicine . Carlisle , Oct . Kin , 1843 . The following letter , just received by the Proprietors from the Rev . David Harrison , Independent Minister , Whitstable , near Canterbury , is a further proof of their efficacy in oases of Indigestion , Liverand Stomach Complaints , &c , &c . : — Whitstable , Sept . 5 , 1842 . " My Dear Fbiend " I received the box of PARR'S LIFE PILLS you so kindly sent me , for which I beg you to accept my best thanks . They could not have come more opportunely , as I was suffering considerably from indigestion at the time . I immediately commenced taking the pills , and found great benefit in a few days . I have taken them subsequently , with tha same happy effect , which induces me to believe that they are an exceedingly beneficial remedy in indigestion . A friend of mine has found them of great utility , in an obstinate liver complaint . If my recommendation can be of any service , you are at liberty to use it as you please . " I am , my dear friend , 11 Yours , very truly , " DAVID HARRISON . " From Mr . D . Cusions , Horncastle . Horncastle , Sept . 30 , 1842 , Gentlemen A most extraordinary Case of Cure communicated by Mrs . Moxon , of York . Mrs . Mathers , of that City , had for many years been affected with a most inveterate disease , which her medical attendants pronounced to be Cancer . It orfginated in her breast , and continued to spread nearly all over her body , defying every effort of surgical skill . Parr ' s Life Pills being recommended to her , she resolved to give them a trial ; and , speaking of the result , she says she cannot express the inconceivable adoantage which she has already derived from them . She furthor states that she is now almost well , aud asoribes her convalescence solely to the persevering use of that sovereign medicine , Parr ' s Life Pills . Communicated by Mr . Bawden . Gentlemen , —At the request of Mr . Thomas Barret , Farmer , of Menally , pariah of St . Veep , Cornwall , I send you the enclosed , and beg to state that : you are quite at liberty to publish it , if you think ; proper to do so . Since I have been your agent , I I have received numerous testimonials of the benefit PARR'S LIFE PILLS have conferred upoa the afflicted . I remain , Gentlemen , respectfully , H . BAWDEN , Chemist and Druggist . Fowley , Cornwall , Gentlemen , —I feel it a duty I owe you to expreca my gratitude for the great benefit I have derived by taking PARR'S LIFE PILLS . I applied to your agent , Mr . Bawden , Chemist and Druggist , Fowley , for Parr ' s Life Pills , for a Swelling 1 had in my Groin , which extended to my ancle , and I could ! scarcely walk from the pain and swelling . It arose about an inch in thickness , descending in a line from ; the top to the bottom of my leg , and was quite black and painful to the touch . After three boxes of PARR'S LIFE PILLS , it quite disappeared , and I have not bad a return of it since ; I am determined not to be without them , for I shall always have a box continually in the house , in readiness for any complaint with which I may in future be afflicted . I remain , Gentlemen , Your most obedient Servant , THOMAS BARRET , Of Menally } Parish of St . Veep , Cornwall . Cirencester , Jan . 1 , 1843 . Gentlemen , —The wonderful effects of PARR'S LIFS PILLS have been felt by the poorer classes of , the parish of Cirencester . Scarcely a family but what has taken them , one and all declare the wonderful efficacy resulting from their use . In fact , it ia gratifying to me to say to the Proprietors of the Pills , my sale increases daily . Some days I sell 50 boxes . Yours , W . WHITE . Agent for Cirencester . Many persons , after learning that fo many wonderful cures have been effected by PARR'S LIFE PILLS have a great desire to procure the medicine which has done so much good . In doing this , however , caution must be observed , as certain individuals without honesty , are offering a dangerous substitute , instead of the genuine medicine . The proprietors cannot , of course , be accountable for any i untoward results that may ensue , to thoso who have ! been thus imposed upon , but they can point out i n effectual meansto preveutfurtheri mposition -

Bnt / modestly observes the Chronicle , ll ihe very reverse of this appears to have been the facLJ > Does it , S 00 ^ Chronicle ? You were n ever more eggreg . ously deceived . Why , ten years ago the Parliamentary Select Committee—composed not of Jacobins , but of Property-holders—had to denonnce the parsimonion ? . system" of wringing profit from the Collieries , no matter at what cost , to '" valuable li ' cs . ' Yes , this Parliamentary Committee had openly to complain of * hat" sordid and airocions indifference which weighs human life against some pettifogging outlay / ' Yet the Chronicle is innocently ignorant of all this , and even has tha presumption , the ignorant and stupid presumption , to assert that the very re ^ prse of ihis is the fact . Let the editor read the following : —
TltWS OF THE COMHirtEE . The ccmitt-se tben enter " into that part o ! the question rcferred ^ io them , which calli upon them to investigate the beat method « f preventing the Tecnrrenca of lLci = ? eaLaniiticS . *» The means of prevention ra * j be Hi-died into three beads—Tentiialion—safety lampsmi ? - or plans . " "We give the following extracts , and rexrs-t that we have not room for the whole page . " Ventilation , by which i » meant , an adequate supply ef atmospherical air sufficient as an actite agent to displace deleterious gases , or bo to adulterate those S ^ ses as to lea ve them no longer explosive , or , as in
tie case of carbonic acid gas , no loneerfatal to vitality .

"
" Ibej do not hesitate t * express a conviction , Uiat whilst some TPvnc * tonally loal are naturally freed irom large accumulations of gas , by the approximation of the seams of coal to the surface of the earth ., others , where the seams lie horizontally , or nearly so , n quire more shafts , additional opportunities for the injtction of pure air and the rejection of foul than are ordinarily afforded . A less parsimonious system in ibis respect , in the original design of those mines ,, and in their labseqnent working , wonld have rendered easy other-\ rise difficult ventilation , and saved many valuable liTrS . "
Thfy consider that the evidence justifies the suspisicra that the foul and free air-counes are frequently too near each other , the cemsranic&tionB notadequately prelected , and that the lengths of air-coursing are -excessive , giving opportunities for leakage , interruption and contamination . The temporary nature of the stoppines , often boards imperfectly united , sometimes mere heaps of small coil , and their ireqnent derangements , inevitably produce dwgerous coMequences . " TUB committee go very f nlly into lhe oneslion of Use utility of the Divy lamp : the merits of all the other lamps then invented by Messrs . Upton and Rofeerti , of land on : all the matter nyon this subject is most valutSle trai our space win allow of but a few extracts .
•• your committee are constrained to believe that ignorance and a falserelisnee upon its merits ( the Davy lamp ) in cases attended with unwarrantable ruk , have led to disastrous consequences . The proofs collected in support of this opinion may be considered « o many warnings to the Miners of England . " " In these experiments ( all ths various lamps had t 3 en tested before the committee ) tbe explosion of the gases within tbe lamp was effected in every one , and similar explosions produced externally , save Messrs "Cptou and Roberti ' . Tour committee are therefore decidedly convinced that its construction possesses paranjennt merit . *' It -mil be seen bj the abOTe that the Select Committee considered the Davy lamp altogether unsafe , and recommended Messrs . TJpton and Roberts' lamp instead ; bnt no attention appears to been paid to this most important recommendation .
Our next extract is from Mr . Roberta ' s analysis of the ** South Shields Committee ' s Report on Accidents in Klines , " which throws further light on the
TOZSX IKEFTJCIEICT OP THE DAVY LAMP . 11 Dr . Sirkbeek states : — "Sir Humphrey Davy ' s lamp ' protects against ignition when the explosive gas is quiescent , bnt it is totally defectrre when tfait gas is in motion , and can reach the wire gxuze in that state of condensation which a moving column of gas always srquins j it then becomes no longer » safety lamp . In the usual mining operations , in bringing down two or more cubic yards of eoai at one fall , be conceives that by the compression effected by it there will exist the same facility of ignition that thB motion of air in a current produces . "' " ilr . Mitcheson ^ mine agent in the Staffordshire ^ Potttji ~ By relates a ease of tie lamp passing tbe Sime in Gresnock pit , and killing a man , at which he was present .
" Tbe pit was 314 yards deep , it had been standing for a while . Ths agent and two men went down with a Djvy lamp . He afterwards came up . leaving the men to work . ' When be came up { says Mr . Mitcne 3 on ) a ringe of water was thrown down , with tbe idea of increasing tbe ventilation of tbe pit , which it wonld do ultimately . Aa tx > s as ever that water was thrown down tbe pit fired ; evidently proving that tbe water , making such a great pressure in the downcast shaft , caused such an intense current of foul air into the lamp that the f ime passed throngh and bo fired all the sulphur . ' Oub surviving man , wbe was soddenly bnrnt , said , that as soon as ever the great . wind came iwhich was , in fact , sulphur to them , tbey were at the bottom of lie npca » t shaft ) th . e gas exploded immediately- *"
11 William Porrester , ¦ E'q-, » u ^ xtentjre -newer in StiS \> rsnire , stated : —• I have seen a lamp fire tbe carburetted hydrogen gas in a current of air in a thirling ' . Tee current was of considerable velocity ; * it wonld blow the candle out ; ' and when tbe current struck tbe lamp it ignited at tbe gaoza and flew away with the air , and went out ; it seemed to fly close from the gsrzs . " The following aTe the " concluding remarks of Mr . Roberts in the introduction to the report of the inquest . ESJCiT , IliSGAi , A 3 TD SHAMEFUL CONDUCT 0 THE coeo > "eb axd juar .
With two exceptions , the only witnesses examined Wfre those produced by the owners of the colliery . Thomas Chambers , a pitman , gave bis evidence of bis own free will ; and ilr . Stutchbnry , the last witness , attended by the dasirs of tbe Government . All the rest were stltcted by the owners , Aflei thB exsmina-Eon or Mr . Stutchbmy , the Juiy determined on closing the inquiry— "tbey had heard enongh , and did not rtqoire to bear any more " " *—and , this , notwithstanding the often-repeated desire of Mr . Roberts that other witnesses should be examined who were in readiness , and who , hebeBeved , wonld give an entirely different
version as to the cause w the explosion- This Bubject is far too important to be discussed in a cursory manner . If the Goroner is correct in bis interpretation of the law ; if he and the Jury haxa tbe right to stop tbe inquiry at any moment tbey think proper—to refnse to bear the « Tidence brought forward by one party after having lit-* * ned for five days to that produced by tbe other ; tien we must be permitted to say that such a court is far tetter adapted for tbe concealment of neglect and guili than for their detection . We . shall avoid entering into the many considerations of this subject at any length , but will iLtntien one or two facts which may assist reflection .
Tbe mea—tbe rnrriTors , whs , while we write , are ; wcrtiijg in the same pn , and liable t » a similar " « ci- dent "—believed ( and ihey believe so still J tb&t the ex- ' plosion did not occur in tbe manner suggested by the coa ; owners ; they believe that the calamity was caused - by tbe negleet of 3 ir . Forster , tbe head viewer ; and with the view of ascertaining whether they were right or wrong , tbey wished Mi . ^ lalbias Dann to examine the pU and then give his evidence on the question at issue—that question being whether these ninety-five ; deaths had arisen from nezlect or necessity . -Their wish '
was repeatedly expressed—first to the Coroner to exer- ' else his authority ; secondly , to the owners , to grant ' their permisaion : both were refused : no ground for the i TefTiaal assigned , but " the personal objection of Mr . , 2 ? orster to Mr . Dunn . " Mr . F « rit 2 r— charged with having neglected bis duty , and thus sacrificed tbe lives of ninety-five men and boys—is allowed to prevent a , particular witness from being examined by " * ' having . a personal objection" to him . Apply ihi * doctrine to the Old Biiley , and bow many cells in Newgate will be ' ocenpied ?
The composition of tbe Jary wab not satisfactory . Tbey were all farmers er sbopkeepen—some directly , and mssy of them indirectly under the influence of the cwners : Coroner ' s juries sometimes have pitmen amsngst them—why were there none on this ? All the Jury were impatient—they were "weary of sitting—it wr- » «• the back end of harvest . " One of them , at the ^ ose cf the first day , remarked , " he could not see the use of examining any more ; it was dear that it was all tsddent . " Daring the inquiry 3 « Ir . Hoberts put several questions fs to tbe state of the bodies—the means need to euconrajeany latest-spark of life , tc . Tbase -were checked by tbt observation of the Coroner , that Hie " aurgeon of tbe colliery would be examined . " At another time the Goroner observed , that ' he wonld examine every witness tendered if hesat there for a month . " Ofl the subsequent refusal of the Coroner to Examine the surgeon and other witnesses , Mr . Roberta called tbe above to his recollection , but without any effect . Much stress has been laid by Mr . Roberts on tbe fact of three " strange " Tnen bavin s feten employed " lin tbe

Wi ste . " The dnty of the wasteman is to watch the a » r courses , and aee that there Ib no obstruction tomettmew alterations are required ., diminishing the current of air . in one place and increasing it in snother ; sometimes there are falls from ths roofs which muBt be lmmedietely removed : u the air travels through the worki ngs , in « ome cases more that fifty miles , it becomes very much vitiated , and when approach !^ the upcast shaft it is perhaps fiery . Throngh all this the wastemen have to travel j the master wasteman directs what is to be done ; and the fear with a " strange" man is / that he " may be freer" with hu lamp than he ought ta be : the lamp should never be trusted to an untxperienced band—it require * constant care and attention in its management , and a practised eye to wBtch its in-_ i _»* •>< « . _
dicationa ; and this more especially in tbe waste . As a sort of excuse for employing the three strangers , it is said that each was with an experienced pitman ; bnt in reply , it must be stated that when danger occurs it is in a moment—that thewastemeu cannot be always together—one will be removing the stone while tbe other ia carrying it away : and it may be taken for granted that the most experienced pitman has qnite enough to do to atteud to hia own lamp . There is no more general cause of anxiety in a mine than the employment of strange men in those parts which are so far dangerous as to require the use of lamps instead of candies . One of these three men was a stone-mason ; another a watchmaker ; none of them were ever pitmen before the strike in Apail last
The pit was examined by the gentlmen from the Government on the day preceding the last of the inquest It must not be forgotten that ten days had elapsed since the explosion : during that time much had been done towards getting the pit in order : a slight alteration in th « furnsc 3 power produces a Btrougtr enrrent : the opinions formed by the above gentleman would , perhaps , bave been more conclusive if they had not been attended by Mr . Forster . For further comment we cannot afford room . We must therefore conclude our notice of this welltimed and excellent work , by earnestly
recommending it to our readers . The extracts we have given will show our readers the nature of the work , which we may add , consists of seventy-two pages of closely-printed matter , to which is annexed a plan of that part of the collierv in which tbe accident occorred . We may add , " also , that Mr . Roberts announces the recommencement of his Miner ' s Magazine , to start on the 1 st of January , 1845 . We name this thus early , that the Miners and our readers generally may be prepared to welcome what will be found , we doubt not , an able and uncompromising champion of Labour ' s Rights .

Ields Mx'sjcipal Election . J Yesterday ( Friday Nov . 1 ) , the annual election of members to supply the place of these retiring from the Town Conneil , took place , bnt without that excitement whicn has heretofore maiied the day . In some w&rdB there was no contest , and indeed throughout the borongh there was a complete absence of party display . It will be seen that this election has been highly fa vourable to the Chartist cshsb , two staunch members
of that party having been elected to aid with voice and vote the little band who were already members of the Council . At the time we write the exact result of the election in the whole of the wards has not reached us , but it appears the Chartists and the Tories have both been gainers and the Whig 3 losers by this election . The numbers polled for each candidate we cau only give » s far as the Holbeck ward is concerned . The men of this ward have again gallantly done their duty , and have set a noble example to the rest of the country .
Hoibfck . —At a public meeting of the burgesses comprisiDg " all shades of Reformers , " it was re olved to put Mr . Wm . Brook , Chartist , and Mr . Jonathan Shackleion , Liberal , in nomination for this ward . This was done , and all went smoothly on until Tuesday last , when a portion of the Whig party , — " no monopolists , " of conrse , determined to make an attempt to keep out the Chartists , by throwing Mr . Wm . Brook overboard . Accordingly a meeting was got snugly up , and Mr . W . D . Nell , a Whig , nominated by thi 3 meeting , and placards were forthwith issued calling on the burgesses to vote for Shackleton and Nell I This act of barefaced treachery roused the Chartists who had been taking
matters very quietly , not expeoting a contest , to teach these Whigs a lesson—and a lesson has been taught them for the second , —but not the last time , how powerless they are when unsupported by the people . Mr . Shackleton , to his honour , disavowed all participation with this monstrous act of duplicity oh the part of the Whigs , expressing his determination to abide by tberesolnrioB agreed to by all parties at the first meeting . The result haB been a signal triumph for the men of principle , and tbe utter defeat of the tricksters and their toil . At the close of the poll the numbers Etood thus : — Shackleton 636 Brook 543
Nell 472 Majority for Brook and Chartism , over Nell and Wbiggery 71 ! Hurrah for Holbeck ! West Wabd . —Mr . Kobson , Chartist , has been returned without opposition , along with a Mr , Richardson , a Liberal , but one opposed to the present system of police . Eiekgate Wabd . —The contest here was between twoWhi&sanda Tory ; the Tory , Mr . Stead , has been returned . The Whig 3 Dot being able to agret as to their man ( only one was wanted ) , a Tor } stept in to settle the difference , carrying the victorj by s majority of 32 . Socih Wabd . —The candidates were Mr . Clarkeoi Cbartisi ; and Mr . Greeham , Whig . The latter ws returned . The returns from Hunslet , Headingley , anc Bramley bad not reached us when we went to press

New Judge . —Mr . Erie is appointed to the Justiceship of the Common Pleas , vacant by the retirement of Mr . Justice Erskine . Another Mubdkb in Tippebabt . —Another dreadful murder has been perpetrated at Lattere , in the Borrisoleigh district , not long distent from the place where the ill-fated Shanahan wa . ? barbarously waylaid and deprived of life . Six fellows entered the houso of a person of the same of Gleeson on Friday night . One of those ruffians was armed with a pistol , the others with sticks and bludgeons . They beat Gleeson so dreadfully that he expired on Saturday evening .
Ehigbation to the Tropics . —On Sunday evening last , thairopieal Emigration Society held another meeting at the Parthenium , St . Martin ' s-lane . There we re upwards of 200 persons present . Mr . Etzler delivered a lecture on the advantages of emigration to the tropics , recommending especially the Republic of Venezuela , as there the land costs no ~ thing ; it is free from taxation for fifteen years , and the members of theBd ' ciety choose their own magistrates and police . He also mentioned that the model of his Agricultural Machine had arrived in London , and that he should early next week start for Yorkshire , to lecture in the principal towns . It was announced that sixty members had joined the society , taking ninety-one shares .
Devth from Starvation . —On Wednesday an iuqueBt was held before Mr . Wakley , M . P-, coroner at the Six Bells , Rtrislip-common , near llxbridge . on the body of William Terry , a labourer . Mary Lavender , the sister of the deceased , said , the deceased was in no regular employ , having obtained his living by jobbing about , sometimes getting money for what he did , but at other times a little food . He had no house or lodgings . He had slept in a loft over an outhouse for two years past . He had no bed , but lay on straw or hay . He had been brought to her house from where he had slept , about four miles off , on Wednesday morning last about ten o ' clock , in a dung-cart , driven by a boy . He could not walk . Witness , her son , and the boy
helped him into her cottage . He was quite sensible . He said that they Baw he was going to die , and he thought that they wanted to get Tid of him . He said that the owner of the loft where he was lying had come to him on the night before , and given him some gruel . He said that he had not any pain , but was very low and feeble , and got weaker and weaker . She got him a little milk . He drank a little of it He could not eat any bread in it . She herself had no money in the house at the time , as her husband and son were out of work . The deceased had often not a shilling a-week to live upon . She hardly knew what to do ; she was in great distress herself . She knew that sho could not get any relief without going to the relieving officer , who lived foar smiles off , at Hillingdon . Next morning she went to the relieving officer . She reached his house at about ten o ' clock , but she had the sorrow of hearing that he wa 3 not at home . She was told by one of the
children , that if she made haste she might find him at Uxbrige church- Sho did make haste there , but he had left before she could reach it . She then hardly knew what to do , but she thought she would go to Mr . Rayner , the union doctor , who attends on her purish . She went and saw him , and he said that he was coming to Ruislip , and that he would call . She got back to her cottage again at twelve o ' clock Mr . Rayner came in the afternoon , and examined him , and said he was dying . He was then so far gone that h * could take nothing . He continued to get weaker and weaker , and died throe hours after the doctor ' s visit . He had been in the Uxbridsjo Union twice . The last time was about three weeks ago . He said he would never go in there again if he could get one meal a-day out of it . He had no property of any kind , neither bed , stool , nor anything in tho world but the clothes on his back , and they were not worth Is .
Mr . Rayner , the district union surgeon , confirmed the last witness ' s evidence . The Coroner—To what cause do you attribute the man's death 1 Mr . Rayner said , he feared that the man had died from exhaustion and want of food and tbe other necessaries of life . Had no douht that the man had died from the effects of destitution . The Coroner—If you find it necessary in such an instance of extreme destitution to order wine , jelly , arrowroot , or other nourishment , what course is adopted { Mr . Rayner— Is it necessary that I should answer that question ! The Coroner ^—Undoubtedly . Everything on sueh a subjaet ought to ha gaaeralJy known . Although tbe Jaw provides that in cases of emergency the churchwardens and overseers can grant orders for relief , yet the poor woman has stated that she knew that she could noi obtain any without applying to the relieving officer . Now , Sir , what I want to know is this , —suppose you had
found it necessary in the case of the deceased to order for him nourishing food , how soon and where could the woman have obtained it T Mr . Rayner—I grant an order for whatever I think is necessary . The Coroner—That is not a full answer to the question . What I want to know is , to whom is the order addressed , and how soon the nourishment could be obtained 1 Mr . Rayner—The order is addressed to the relieving officer , and if he thinks that it is right , what ever is directed in the order he can cause it to be supplied . The Coroner—If the relieving officer thinks that it is right ! Good heavens do you not grant the order medically ? Mr . Rayner —Ye 3 . The Coroner—And do you mean to say that in such a case the relieving officer can have an anthoriiy superior to yours \ Pray lot us understand this matter distinctly . In fact , n ought not only to be understood here , but throughout the whole empire . Every human being in the kingdom ought to comprehend it .
Mr . Rayner here ; pToduced a blauk form , which showed that the actual power of granting oven medical assistance in the shape of food , &c . was in the hands of the relieving officer . The Coroner—If you fill up tbe blank for half a pound or a pound of meat , do you mean to say that before the meat can be procured by the poor person he must present it to the relieving officer , who in this case lives four mile 3 from the cottage ! Mr . Rayner—Yes , that is the practice . The Coroner—There must be some mistake . You surely misunderstand me . Mr . Rayner—What I have stated is the strict truth . Mr . Jtadcliffe , a juryman , added some startling facts , for which we have not room , shewing that medical orders for relief were not attended to unleaB authorised by the relieving officer .
The Coroner—The case is now clear enough . Even the terms of the order show that the authority of the relieving officer is paramount to that of the medical gentleman by whom the food is directed , although the food be ordered medicinally . This id monstrous , I wonder that my medical brethren submit to such an arrangement , which is most cruel to the poor . Ossktt . —Defeat of the Anti-Corn Law League . —On Tuesday evening , Mr . Harper , of the Auti-League , was announced to lecture on protection to British industry . As Ossett is one of the well-known strong holds of the Free Traders in the West Riding , a strong opposition was expected . Before the arrival of Mr . Harper and hi 3 friends , the chair had been
taken by a Free Trader , who certainly at first manifested a disposition for anything but fair play . In the midst of considerable confusion on both sides , Mr . West made his appearance , and put in his claim to be heard on the part of the working men . This was received by the workers with tremendous applause , which soon bronght the Leaguers to tbeir senses . It was then arranged that Mr . Harper should speak for an hour , and then any gentleman to reply for twenty minutes . Mr . Harper then proceeded , amid great interruption from the Gentlemen Free Traders , demonstrating the soundness of the doctrine of protection , and tracing consecutively the ruinous effects of each extension of commerce to the working classes . Mr . Burrows , of Horbury , for the
Free Traders , rose to reply , and Bpoke at great length . Mr . H . replied to Mr . B . combating that gentleman ' s statements with much tact and ability . Mr . West nf xt presented himself as the representative of the working men , and said that the htatements on both sides were of the utmost importance to the party he belonged . It was cheering to find that the principles for which he had suffered were now being acknowledged by all classes in the state . Mr . Harper contended that all classes were protected but the working men , and that they ought to b « protected . Had not that been tbe doctrine of the working men from time immemorial ? Mr . Burrows admitted that wages had been wofully reduced , but said that it was not to be attributed to Free Trade
because we never had it—we were under a system of protection ; but if we had not Free Trade we had " extensions of commerce , " and monstrously increased exportatioBS of manufactured produce . If , therefore , each extension was attended with a corresponding redaction of wages , what a blessing it must be to the working classes of the community to have another extension in the shape of Free Trade ! and another reduction of wages to enableour manufacturers to undersell the foreigner in the different markets of the world —Mr . West then went on to show that wherever reductions had taken place , the liberal mouthing free traders had always been the first to reduce . The leaguers vociferously denied this , and called npon Mr . West to provo it . Mr . West then read the circular of Mr . Peel to the iron masters of
Lancashire , calling on them to form a protection society , to " resist the improper demands of the workmen . " Mr . Burrows said that was a monopoly . Well , said Mr . West , if it be a monopoly , it ia one in which all the iron masters in Lancashire are united ; and their circular , which states that the masters have within themselves the power to resist the improper demands af the workmen for wages or regulation—proves that a full measure of protection is necessary , Mr . WeBt next read the exposure of Mr . Richard Dewhirst , of Hnddersfield , by the journeymen blockprinters ; he was a great free trader , and yet was the only one in the business who came out to reduce unnecessarily the wages of the men . Mr . Radley followed on the part of the League , and was replied to by Mr . Harper . Mr . West then summed up , and stated that he would propose a resolution—when tbe Chairman said . Mr . West , as a

Mr . Burrows then tried the I k III ft s & ot moving an amendment em-! bracing the Charter as well as Corn Law Repeal , m u ? * * ° f ? the T 0 tes of the working men . Mr .

" After considerable contusion the Chairman put the amendment , when the Free ' Traders , who were m the front » f the room , held up both their hands . Mr . West ' s aotion was then put , which was carried by two to- one . The Chairman eaid he could not see-when Mr . West said he would divide the room , and rushed to the end where the working men were , mount ** on a form , and gave three cheera ; but whiib in tne act of doing so , a Leaguer attempted to drag him do \? n , when the working men seized the assailant , and said they were men ; they would have no Wakefield jobs there ; and if aay man attempted to hurt Mr . West , or any other gentleman , they would knock his brains out . They would fe fair P Y . for they had had encash of th «
"Maisters" and had always found them d—d rogues . The Leaguers acknowledged tbey were dead beat , and that they only proposed the Charter to catch the votes from Mr . West ' s side to vote for a repeal ot the Corn Laws . It is indeed on © of the " signs of the times" Jhat the League should be defeated in thoir stronghold—Ossett .

1 qp . THE HASWELL TRAGEDY ^ SUCCEEDED BY THE COX LODGE FARCE . ( Continued Jrom our second edition of last Saturday . ) Mr . Roberts a ^ ain applied ( as the representative of the sufferers ) to the Coroner to allow the pit to be examined by scientific men , in order , if possible , that the cause of the explosion might be ascertained . The Coroner thought himself the representative of the men , their relatives , and the survivors . He could not permit Mr . Roberts to interrupt the business of the inquest , or himself to be interfered with . There would be sufficient evidence brought before the Jury without strangorB interfering . Mr Roberts—} t is the custom in other Coroner's Courts to allow a professional man to attend on either side ; and I have not known an instance before the present one where they did not meet with courteous behaviour .
The Coroner—I throw all that overboard . I cannot recognise you as the representative of any party , nor will I allow you to make such observations as you have indulged in . Mr . Roberts here handed in a series of questions ; it is almost superfluous to add , they were all rejected by the Coroner without his knowing what they were . [ They may yet be asked before a higher tribunal . ] Mr . Thomas Horn asked permission of the Coroner to state what he believed was the cause of the accident . He felt Bure he could account for the cause of the explosion , and suggest means to prevent its recurrence . The Coroner would do no such thing . They were not there to 'investigate causes and suggest remedies . All they had to do was to ascertain whether the man came to his death by accident or otherwise You cannot know thn nan ho .
Mr . Horn—I do know the cause of the explosion ; and I have attended here for the express purpose of explaining that cause , and suggesting to yourself and the jury a preventative for the future for their recommendation . The Coroner—I distinctly refnse you . I will not permit the time of the Jury and myself to be wasted with theoretical investigations . Mr . Ryan asked permission to state the cause of the accident . He had been sent down by Mr . Attwood , banker , of London , at his expence , on the
score of humanity , to detail tbe system by which the mines of Staffordshire had been rentikted by himself for fourteen years past , and not a single explosion had taken placo during the whole of that period . The Coroner—Could not allow any auditor thus to interfere . ; It was no part of thoir duty to go into matters foreign to the object for which they had met . He should therefore strictly confine himself to enquiring into the cause of the man ' s death , and recording the same . Trio Jury nor himself could not be called upon further .
Mr . Robprts—Stated that Mr . Stutohbury was sont down by the Government , independent of Mr . FarrafJ ay and Mr . LyalJ , to view the Haswell pit ; so that disinterested evidence might be elicited . He proposed that Mr . Ryan bo permitted to examine the pit scientifically , and report to an adjourned inquisition the result of his investigation , both as to the ciuso of the accident and the means neobssary to prevent its recurrence . The Coronor refused to assent to this proposition , or to allow the business of the Court to be interrupted with what he considered had nothing whatever to do with the object for which they yyere assembled . Witness—The pillars where the rents were , and the goaf , Adjoin' each other . Mr . Roberts aafeed Mr . Liddle whether the owners of the Colliery would allow Mr . Ryan to view the mine ?
Mr , Liddle could not take upon himself to say whether it would be agreeable to the owners ; but promised to reply te morrow whether they would grant permission to Mr . Ryan or not . Mr . Roberta begged to add the name of Mr . Mather , the Secretary to the South Shields Scientific Society , to accompany Mr . Ryan , and assist him in his investigation . The Coroner could have no objection if the owners had not : but he still considered that such investigation did not necessarily form any part of the business ; his court was assembled for . Mr Ryan said he would undertake to prove tho cause of tho explosion without fee or reward , and pledged his reputation as to the result .
Mr . Horn expressed his conviction that great advantage would arise from the proposed inveutigation . Witness-tCandles were used closs to the goaf , and , from the current of air that was passing , the workmen could use them with impunity . On Mr . Roberts expressing his astonishment at suoh folly , The Coroner could have no more interruption . If Mr . R . had any question to ask , it must be in writing . Mr . Roberts requested the Coroner to ask , at what rate the air travelled round the goaf . He also handed up , in writing , the following questions : — Is there any pillars working near , or close , to the goaf t ( Whether £ ra 3 had ever been known to accumulate at the goaf ?
When pillars are to be worked , are candles used f Of what extent is the goaf ! Did the gas that exploded come from the thill or the poof , or both 1 Could not Brown examine with a lamp as well as a candle ! Why did Brown require to examine the goaf , if no gas was ever observed there \ Why ia not Brown brought forward to be examined 1
Tbe same with regard to the other injured men , and the surgeon who has attended them 1 Why did not Brown attend to the warning that was given to him not to proceed towards tbe goaf with a lighted candle ? How fast is the current of air ? How many shafts are there the pit ? Why had Brown no right to expeot an accumulation of gas » Was there ever before any indication of gas at tho goaf ? Does the current of air thoroughly ventilate the
pit ? Do you think that gas is generated in the goaf 1 How often are there " blowers \" Has any person been singed by them \ Was there no impropriety in a candle being used where the explosion occurred I Were nojcandles used close to the goaf ? How near ! At all times ! At what rate is the current of air round the goaf ? Cannot gas collect inside the goaf which the external current of air cannot operate on , and therefore will not disperse 1
Is it not more profitable to the masters for tho men to work by candles than by lamps ? Are not the coals better wrought , and thus worth more money in tke market ? Was not Brown appointed depnty as a reward for his leaving the Union , and going to work during the strike J [ Mr . Roberts , in handing the aforesaid and some other questions to the Coroner , observed that it was utterly impossible to carry on a cross-examination of the witnesses with that degree of vigour which was requisite to elicit the whole truth ; as the reply
to one question , not unfrequently suggested another ; and again requested permission to put such questions to the witnesses as might suggest themselves . The Coboneb however , persisted in his refusal , which Mr . Roberts immediately made a note of , reading the same as he wrote it . The Coroner desired Mr . Roberts to deBist from taking notes , but he persevered , notwithstanding the solicitations to the contrary . Mr . Coroner looked blue at Mr . Liddle , and Mr . Liddle looked black at Mr . Coroner ; without either of them apparently benefiting from their mutual exchange of silent recognition . ] Witness—There are two shafts bratticed . George Birbeok sworn—I am deputy of Coxlodge Colliery . Have worked there between four and fiv < j

years ., , of wh'oa . I have been three jearsa deputy ; I was ia the pit on the morning of the accident , but not in the distiiot where the explosion took place . The next morning after the accident I examined the place wheu the aec ident took place . Tha air was good in all t £ e boards of the Colliery ; sufficiently so to admit of o& ndles befog used without danger . I have been deputy for a twelvemonth to that part where the acoide nt took place . There was always a strong current of . nit in those parts , as well as through tne goaf ; and it t \ 'as considered quite safe to work irttb candles . The * " « was a remarkably strong current of uninterrupted air . . which enabled us to penetrate thirty or forty yards into the goaf . The air was still good , as I h . "vd ever known it . I suspect ' ' ** — - ™ — — — . »— . _ — .,,,
that no gas could come from the goaf into the head-Way . Oh further exami . iauon I discovered fissures in the bottom of the coal where the explosion had taken place . A body ofg \ . T $ was hanging over those fissures : ntxl the roof . I c | innot say the fissures had been caused by the exploit ; ' - I think they were caused by the " unrrk ' nff" ia 'he goaf . If a greater lapse of tiare had ensued bstfo re the explosion took place , the accident would hayw ' b eft n far more serious as no doubt the gas was acenussi iting every moment . When Brown found symptoins-o . ' gas at the goaf , be did right in retreatiDg to get rat * > a good current of air . I should not , had I been in Brown ' s situation , have thought it necessary to have put my eandle ont , when I expected , byre treating , to come into a purer current of air , ! Very . strict orders are constantly given to the men ] shoaM the least danger appear , to put out their lighted ea ndles , and take their
lamps . I car . form no opinroc , i or c « w the most experienced man id the trade-, hovr til e late accident took place . Not the slightest reasoi whatever to expect gas whero the accident took place ; that is , any quantity sufficient to cause a » ear , olosion . The injury to the pit was-very thfting udeed , which shews that no great accumulation of g »\ s had taken place . It i * suspected that the fire h * d gone ont at the goaf . that was in conseqaence- of the gas becoming mixed with a greater quantity » f atmospheric air . I think the explosion ! had cot exten ded at all towards tbe flat , but towards the goaf onlj ' , and the current of air there overcame it and eam&d it away Wo had lamps when we penetrated into the goa ? We could discover no traces elaewhesre bo t at the place of the explosion . Aa far as I eaa disccver , the explosion was entirely the result of aecideiit , and that no blasoe is attributable to any aoe con neoted with the colliery . i
The Coroner , in complinient to Mr . Roberts , said he would put any question Mr . R . pleased , now that he desisted from putting them himself ; but Mr . H . smiled at the Coroner , and explained the- inutility of such a futile scheme . Ifjhe ( Mr . R . > was to do any good he must be untrammelled . Witness—I cannot tell at what rate tbe current of air passes . Id is not in my department of work to know anything about it . I just attend to my own business , and that is enough for me to do . Mr . Roberts wished to j know if any ehange of system had taken place lately in the working of the pit ! I
Mr . Liddle explained that as an additional precaution , lamps are note used where candles used to be . That he had abandoned the confidence he formerly felt ; that no shields were used with the lamps . Does not know that S'r Humphrey Davy stated that his lamp was not that entire safeguard as was generally attributed to it , j although he had read Sir Humphrey ' s pamphlet . ; By the Coroner—I hare always considered this the safest part of the pit , not only from the strong current of air , but the oomparatue freedom from foul air , which has always been observable in this district .
William Richardson sworn—I am deputy in Coxlodge Collery . Have been so for seventeen years The pit has been well ventilated . Capital air—quite past the men . The air passed , and then returned past when the mes were working . Have used candles about twelve months in thid particular part of the mine , and considered ourselves quite safe in doing so , from the goodness of the air . If the men ever complained of danger , we got the Davys immediately . No Daryu had been used in that part oa any occasion during the last twelve months ; nothing has ever been seen to require them . I examined the goaf with a lighted naked candle about twelve hours before the accident happened , went about twelve yards into it to ascertain whether
any change had taken place , found a very good air passing , therefore had not the slightest idea of danger . I made n& report ; there was no occasion . The deputy , John Brown , jwaa then with me . Four hours after this inspection two old men were working there . There was no one to look after them , consequently candles wereinot allowed . Brown had beon beside them with his candle about five o ' clock in the afternoon . It was his business to do so , to examine the state of the pit , and set the men to work . The men were waiting at the fiat , to go to work , until his return . After he had passed the two old men , Brown saw , by the flame of his caudle , indications of foul air . He retreated from that place iii expectation that in so doing he would find better air , instead of which he had backed into the midst of the foul air . Brown h ' ad passed the place where tho rent was , and from where the gas had exuded
in going to the goaf , where the two old men vrero at work , and had a candle with him . The rent occurred just as he passed tho place to examine the goaf . ( Mr . Liddle thought it would be immediately after ; but it was quite a matter of opinion ) . When he found , by his candle , indications of the presence of gas , he retreated back the same way aa he went in . Vsry few minutes elapsed before he returned . He could not expeot that ! gas could have accumulated during that short interval ; he would think that he was making away from it . The two old men were much injured , j Collins , the deceased , was not one of them : James Andrewg is one who is much injured . Browa told me that the two old men did not warn him of jdanger . A current of air passed between the pillars and the goaf ; but the men have no business there , as the roof falls . They are not allowed to go that way .
Mr . Liddle , in reply { to the Coroner , thought everythi ig had been stated that could be . Witness—The gaa that ! fired came from the thxll , and not from the goaf . Had there been gas iu the goaf , the consequences would have been worse . The Coroner—Now , are orders given by the deputies to the men to give the earliest intimation to them of the slightest appearance of danger . Witness—Yea , Sir . \ Coroner—I thought so . i Witness—I have known deputy Brown for three years as a very steady man . He is twenty-four years of age . He is a very attentive man to his business , and very willing to LEARN . Woiking pillars , is taking all the coal away ; when we do that we use lamps . Mr . Roberts—And have not used lamps for twelve months : vet working pillars evert / week !
Mr . Liddle—Fifteen acro 3 ia the extent of the goaf : pillars have been ' continually removed up to ths present time ; they ia . re not left for a second working . ; The Coroner to Witness—Can you write your name ? : Witness— No , Sir . \ The Coroner—There are other witnesses , but I think nothing new can be elicited . I think if you were to examine from now to Christmas , we should be no forwarder . Are you not of jiy opinion , Mb . Liddle ? ( We scarcely need add the reply was in the affirmative . ) Then ; Gentlemen of the Jury , consider of your verdict : i clear the court .
We were taken somewhat by BurpriBe at thw sudden and unexpected announcement , " Clear the Court . " We thought the Coroner tmitted a very important part of hia duty , in not reading over to each witness the evidence he had written , as being Btated by such witness , before he called upon him to sijjn he knew not what . We were not propared to expeot that he \ yould call on the Jury for their verdict , without reading or summing up the evidence , or making a jsingle remark upon it , or upon any point of law bearing upon it . It might be , however , that Mr . Coroner ' s whole thoughts were so intent upon complimenting Mr . Liddle , and through him the owners of Coxlodge Colliery , that thft less important batter of enlightening the minds of the Jury was lost sight of altogether .
In about ten minutes it was announced that the pablic might bo re-admitted ; when the Coroner asked the Jury if they were aereed in their verdiot . The Foreman—Yes Sir . We are of opinion that it was accidental , and no blame ) attributable to any one . i The Coroner adjourned the inquest to Friday next to make his return of the | inquisition , it being inconvenient for him to regain longer that evening thus terminated what we do not hesitate to denominate a farce . Mr . Coroner and Mr . Liddle , accompanied each other arm | n arm ( perhaps ) to dinner ; and perhaps , also , congratulating each other on the happy termination their united exertions had bronght about . j
