Since the departure of his Holiness they have not been replaced on the residence of the Austrian Ambasssdor . They are to be hoisted at the Tery moment the Fops will make his entry b y the
gate of St . John of Lateran . It is believed the Pope will insist on the permanence of these troops in his capital . France , which evacuates Rome , partially at least , will see no harm in letting Baron a'Aspre place Austrian sentinels ' fit the gates of the "Vatican and the Qoirinal . Thus will one of the difficulties be removed ; for the Sovereign Pontiff most provisionally have a body of troops at his command , fill one of the plans in . contemplation , viz ., the formation of a Spanish lejion , or the revival of the order of the Knights of Malta , shall hive been put into execution .

The adoption cf Count Arnim's amendment would be regarded as the adoption of the royal message . "With re ? ard to the special cauri of law , the government would give any reasonable guarantee that it should not be abused , provided its object was not frustrated . The adoption would result in the immediate taking of ihe oath , but the rejection would defer the oath and the German constitution question for an indefinite period , and would compel the ministers to resign .

HUNGARY AND AUSTRIA . . The , ' Slavenski Jug , ' an Agram newspaper , in its jramber of the 18 th ult ., , contains a correspondence of the 12 th from Bukowar . in Sjrmia , whereby U appears that a battle ; bad taken place between tfee Austrian military aud the people on the 11 th . You blow already that in this district the population is a " mixture of Servians and Croats . Which party had the best of the fight does not very clearly appear , although the ' Jug ' s ' , correspondent reports that the military succeeded "in restoring order . S tojeevic , the governor of the Syrmain county , is reported by the * Sud-slavische Zeitung' to have been killed , which seems hardly probable , as in later news he reappears and proclaims fire of the ringleaders outlaws ;
The account given of the origin of the affair is , that several peasants had rendered themselves amenable to the law by . extensive depredations ia the woods about Bttfcwa r # which they exercised under the pretext that the Ban had given them leave . A military force was seat to enforce the summons , of the staubrichter , or judge in first instance , to these offenders , fo appear before his tribunal . The peasantry rose en masse against the soldiers , and drove them back to Bukovar , where a regular insurrection bow broke out . The toesin rung from the tower of the Greek church . All the military detachments posted near Bukovar immediately starched to the scene of combat . Authentic accounts of the upshot of the affair are wanting . .
It appears that similar disturbances have taken place at Panscova ( pronounced Panshwa ) opposite Semlin . The Turkish Servians having agreed with their discontented brethren ander Austrian rule tbat as soon as the river should be well frozen they would cross over to the left bank , with a formidable force , and assail the Austrian military , and then establish » Servian regency , ana this plan being betrayed to the Austnans , a considerable military farce , consist-SBSSfi * J I ? ls ! on ai infantry aud asquadron of cavalry , TOTmarched into Panscova on the 10 th ult .

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE MINERS . All parties seem to be stirring just noV ; indeed there appears to be an .. almost general move among social and political parlies , some , to . forward their own selfish interested views , but the . great . majority are pressing onward to the goal of Truths Justice , and Liberty . Among the latter , we are happy to see ihe miners of England , who are forming a 'National Association' for the protection of their labour ( their only property , ) and for the attainment of their rights , as valuable working men . This association is gaining immense strength in the North o f England , and is spreading in Lancashire , Yorkshire , and Staffordshire . In Staffordshire alone , during , a very short time , six miners' lodges have been opened , and numbers have joined those already opened , in fact , the cause of Union looks promising in North
Staffordshire , aud is effecting great , good . Large and spirited meetings have recently been held by the miners of Tuns'all ( who are . on strike , ) Burslem , Hanley , Norton , Longton ,. Lane-delf , Redirpw , Cherterton , Knutton-heath , Bradley . grren , &c ; and on Saturday last a delegate meeting was held at the Castle Inni Shelton , which was well attendtd . These meetings have been , addressed by Messrs ; Daniells and Lawton , agents of the association . There seems to be a growing public opinion in favour of the roiuers ; most parties that you converse with stating that , ' of all men miners should be well paid . ' Most heartily do we < wish , this association all the success . it so well deserves , and may all other trades fallow their example—he up and doing , and demand their rights , both socially and politically .
TO THE COAL MASTERS OF NORTH . STAFFORD : SHIRE . Gentlemen , —In accordance with" a resolution passed at a Miners' delegate meeting , held in Hanley , on Saturday , the 19 th inst , we proceed to lay before you the following
ADDRESS . , TTc are informed that some of the Coal Masters in this districtare favourable to an organisation of the miuers and mining interests , with a new to the protection of the fair profits of the employer , and a duo reward for the labour , of the employed ; consequently , we , on behalf , and by the request of the Miners of XortU Staffordshire , ljeg leave respectfully , to submit to jour consideration the objects and principles of the Mincrs ' . Association of Groat Britain , so as to remove any xinjust or erroneous opinions that may be held concei'ning it .. - One of the principal objects of the Miners' Association is , to eflect a full andcompleteorganisation for mutual protection of the Tvholc of the miners of Great Britain—to seek ' , by every legal and peaceful means , to olitain a fair reward for the dangerous and arduous , labaur of the . miners ' , and to endeavour , by such means , to obtain for the iniue masters a just return for the hazardous capital they employ and toendeavour to settle all disagreements and differences between master and men , liY aixditkatjos and fair and legitimate argument , rather than have recourse to inju ' rio'is and disastrous strikes . ' ¦ ' . ¦ .. ¦ ,.
We contend that it is repugnant to all right feeling and sound principle for masters and men to exist in a state of antagonism towards each other ; that men should be working against instead of for each other ; that masters should be competing against and underselling each other , while the fair reward for labour and the just return for capital is swallowed up by the consumers , who do not thank either of Hie parties for the sacrifices they make . - ; . . AVe consider cxdue cosirrriTioN to be one of the greatest evils that afflicts the coal trade , and mining interests generally ; and we believe that tlic pernicious eft ' ects of the hydra-headed monster—competition—can only he effectually counteracted liy a tjxiox of the well-disposed and good ' principled among masters and men .
Another of the objects of the Miners ' . Association is , to appeal to the legislature of our country for piiotection to the life and HEAi . Tn of . the MINERS ; and , as we desire to obtain information for ourselves andcluldren , to petition fora repeal of the tax on newspapers and advertisments , also for a repeal of the duty on paper ; and , lastly , to form co-okbbatite fcsds in order to suppl y ourselves with provisions , Minion ; , ifcc , at wholesale prices , and to purchase land whereon to locate such of our members who may unfortunately be destitute of employment , so as thus to provide them with reproductive employ , rather than they should be dependent on parish relief or eleemosynary aid—in fine , that they may work for themselves instead of passing- their
time in unwilling idleness . - . . Such , sir , are tke primary objects of the iliners' Association . Should you approve of the same , we respectfully solicit your countenance and co-operation , and we hope you will use yonr influence in order to induce your -workmen to co-operate irith us also , so that all may ivorktogether in harmony and good-feeling for the mutual advantage of each . ,--.,. We are , sir , on behalf of the Miners , yours respectfully , - ¦ - William Daxielxs , . - .. ( Late Editor of the Mners' AdcoeaU . ) . ,, Edward Lv . vtov , Agent of the Miners'Association .

TIIE MINERS OF THE NORTH .
TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE NORTHERN STAR . : \ Sir , —A trial , of considerable importance to tbe miners of this : district , took place on Monday , Jan , 28 tb at the- Gateshead Caunly Court , the particulars of which I forward for insertion in your valuable journal . It appears , that the workmen of Marby Hill colliery , had * formed themselves into a union , and had also joined the Miners' Protective Society . in this district ; they had also restricted ; their labour to a low figure ; in consequence of which the employers had issued to every man a printed notice that if they did not work for a higher amount of "rages than they were at that time doing ,-they ,
( the employers , ) rwpuld not . alloW ; them to worlc at all , and would consider the contract or agreement at an end between them , and also that they would turnout of possession from the ,-. dwelling , hbuses every one of them .. To this notice the ' workmen gave no heed , but went to work as usual , psrfdrming only the quantity of work they had themselves agreed upon ; in consequence of which , " the em ' - ployers set to work , and ejected a great number of them from the houses , throwing out their goods and furniture in , a most reckless and careless
manner , damaging or breaking many : articles of considerable value , and which had cost the miners many a hard days toil to obtain . There being an avowed contract- or agreement , tbat one rponth's notice should be g iven on either side before the said contract could be severed , the workmen brought the employers before the court / to answer a . charge of damages sustained by them in their turning them out of possession land to secure the utmost amount of justUe , they brought down from Manchester ' their old and tried legal adviser , W .-P . Roberts ; Esq . ' - , '
There being many other cases connected with the court to comeTon before thi 6 case , some little attempt was made by the s 9 licUor for the employers to compromise the affair , but on such equivocal terms tha t the workmen refused to attend to them .: Tbe fight began by Mr . Roberts , who in a most clear , and forcible manner laid the case before the court . The g ist of which was that , in accordance with the agreement , one month ' s notice should have been given to the men before they were turned out ; and
that as only one day's notice had been given , it was dear that the employers had / acted illegally , in thus forcibly entering those dwellings , and casting into the road the poor men ' s furniture , and that in so cruel and wanton an act the worst possible feelings were displayed , end such indifference evinced for the feelings of those people , that when ( as one of the party detailed to the court ) he remonstrated with those engaged in ejecting him so roughly , and carelessly throwing down the various articles they were removing , by observing that they

The question ; thi » ' was raised : had the em 0 o >; erstbis pov ? er ? 'or , should ; they not rather have noticed the york ' men 88 per , agreerteht , or applied to a : magi 8 tjrate , ; ' tb , have , the agreement cancelled , or to have sent the men : to prison ^ until the month was up ? ., Any . of ihes ' e ways were open for them ; to adopt ;; and thoug h tinged itself
with : cruelty in some degree , they were : mercy compared with that which the - employers ' had adopted . Mr . Roberts then placed before thecourt , the following case drawn from the evldence'bf the plaintiffs . . Firstly : —That there ; was ; a Verbal agreement , that one ; month ' s notice , was / required from either party , ; v * hen desirous of severing the contract . Secondly : —Tbat the employer ; had only'g iven one day ' s notice for such purpose , and werecconsev quently liable to damages , for thus illegally- turning out of possession , ' and thereby injuring the ' goods , &ei , of the plaintiffs—Messrs . Thompson ; and : 'Nicholsbn , workmen of the above colliery . ' .. ]¦ ¦ ¦ : . . . ; r , ¦
The solicitor for the defendants , put . before , , the court , the non-jurisdiction of . the same to . try this case , and attempted the . proof of such position , by stating the case was a -plea ; of rightful possession of the tenements , &c ., and therefere ought to ; go to a hig her court . This , the Judge overruled , 'and- the case proceeded , which was brought to a ' clbse . i after upwards of "two- 'hours ' ' hard fighting . The Judge announcing that ! judgment would be delivered next court dav , Feb . 25 th . ' ';' ' - ' '"'
The case is looked ' upon * with considerable interest by both employers and-workmen ; inasmuch , if the right of Me 8 srs 7 Palraer and Hutt be established tp dissever , thdcoritracti without the interferencei . of a magistrate ,: ' then . any other . employer may dp , the same ; and what is . more , any ,, or all of the workmen , may act in thesame . manner , therebydisturbing , to a considerable extent , the understood and denned relation between the parties ^ arid , as ari inevitable cpn
sequence ; creatingmiich , and continued disorder , in the trade of the district . ' .

NATIONAL REFORM LEAGUE .
An ' attentive and numerous" audience was assembled at : the President ' s , Mr . J . li ! p Brie ' n ' s weekly lecture , at the John-street , Institute , oh' Friday last : The . lecturer , commenced : by ' predicting . that . the struggle between ; : ¦ - , the , Protectionists ; and Free Traders promised am / agitation , becaus « . the aristocracy andiandedjnterests , rather than submit to be quietly sacrificed to the , cotton-lords -and manufacturing ' interest , wpiild " urge on ; sucrii a crisis as to neces&Uatk a complete -revolution ' in the country . Now , with the existing - institutions of England , lie confessed he would rather side with the Protectionists , than the Free Traders ; but , in fact , what , ' the
people wanted , was protection from both : parties . Neither pariy were willing to protect the interests of the unprivileged people , by giving them the ; franchise ; untrammeled with property qualification . The existing commercial interests bad . no compunction in sacrificing the working classes to carry out their own selfish principles , by'forcing them into ari ' un . , fair , unequal competition ' . with , iightly-taxed garbage-eating forpigners . .. Under . the best auspices , / a working man dependent on capitalists for employment , was -a-. wages-slave ; but it remained , for modern legislature to bring about a system , that virtually went to deprive this slave of a home market for the produce of his 'labour . ' If this
system , was allowed to continue-i-but it was blasphemy against Providence to believe that itSvould ! No the .. labourer , must not ; be starved out of ( : ex stence forthei . benefit of the : mt . ddle-classs . IThey must hare efficient protection against the . unlimited importation of articles which they could produce ; and free trade must lie permitted in those things only which England could not produce . An ' rl reciprocity , too , should be looked to ; . for if we took a rniiliori ' s worth . or so of produce from a foreign state ,. that state , ought to b ' a compelled to take the same amount of our productions in direct exchanee from us . But if free trade were insisted upon , ' then all the fixed burthens of the country—all debts , taxes ,
and rent charges , ongbt to be reduced in the ' sarae ratio with the fall of prices consequent upon lhat free trade policy . The Cobdeniies now wanted the working-classes to fraternise with them ; but he trusted they would not be gulled by cither them or the Protectionists : he trusted he should yet live to see the day when both parties would he declared rank impostors , and enemies to the cause of humanity at large . Our working classes had become so deteriorated in character , and so powerless , that nothing less than a miracle could' effect any very rapid ; change in their condition .: 'But , as the ago of miracles was past , .. they must ; wait
patiently for their redemption . A good poor law would be the first thing necessaryfor ( heir protection : not the miserable , pinching , bastile relief of the present day , 'but-ft law . which compelled the holders of every description of realised property of any value to find either employment or subsistence to-the destitute , clogged-with no illiberal , arid degrading conditions whatever . He was . sorry the working ¦ classes' - of ; this-country did not take a h gher stand- ; they did not appear to lie conscious of the power they had over . ' their own destinies . Three thousand or four , thousand of the working tailors of London had recently . met in Exeter' Hall to ask
government to protect them against the' sweating ' systemj—a decidedly political movement , in reality , and yet they considered it necessary , - at that , meeting , to deprecate politics as something not appertaining to them I—whereas , vfitliotit a j « st rrieed of political power , they could never get . adequate relief- from their ; oppression . . He considered . the working classes had a greater . right to the franchise than the middle classes , —for what did the middle classes do for society . to entitle them to pre-eminence ? ' But all" classes misunderstood each . other . He , only
wished they could change places fora . week : ; tbav would do more to excite a proper sympathy between the rich and well-to-do , and their poorer brethren , than any other process he could divine . ' Itywould soften : the rocky hearts of the . aristocracy more rapidly than ; Hannibal softened : the . Alps , i , And , he was quite sure , that if the working classes once got a . ; taste of the comforts , ; luxuries , and refiriements , enjoyed , hy . the ; rich ,, . ten ,--times " . thei armies - of Europe , would- be insufficient to make them submit to live as thev now lived ! .: . : ' . ¦? . ¦; - t
.. Before he , sat down , he would say a few-words ' -of ihe'dangers ' which : ^ menaced " the . French republic ; : these dangers were great V but he believed that the two millions of social .

When tne ferment of 183 ? had subsided ^ and O'Connor , and most of our influential men , ' wefe either id dungeons or driven from the' country , we were left wi thout IeRders arid'without friend" , our organisation broken up , our principles ridiculed by the press , and . tharttsm asserted : by . ourl opponents to ; be dead . _ 1 he AntiiGorn'Law party tookiadvantage ; of this , to them ;' favourable opportunity * - arid held meetings ., throughout . the . land ; . we ; endeavoured to rally our forces , and followIheir example ; but-speedily / ouna

At this crisis , ' the kte licnryHetherington laid down the policy of attehlJiri ' g ; our opponents ' meetings , and thus force our opinions'into notoriety ; we ' acted upon that suggestion , ; and speedily demonstrated to the public that we : were in'the . raajprUy ; arid' were . so successful in this as to compel even the , opposition press to : admit ' that let a meeting : be to
, called for any political suhject ' , ^ we were sure be in ,,-the .-ascendant , . and convert that , , me ' eting to pnr ,. rown . purposes ; it ,. may ; be ,, a ? ked , was . this justice ? r t .

This was a ; great step in advance gained , and the result proved tbe . correctness of the policV ; "that policy ; : in ; my pptuion , should •' still remain unchanged , ' so long at these Financial and Parliamentary Reformers . ; allow- a
fair bearing . to our speakers , so : long / as their , organs will fairly report our speeches , so : long may this policy remain in abeyance ; but the moment that inyv attjempt , i 8 . made ; to . -shelve : iis , thatnioraeritmust we resort to our old tactics . p | , ppposition , Respe ' ctmg your . question v . as to . the Stepnjey meeting ; Task , ' wh ^ are yoij ^ Cnartists ^ w ^ right of * the Suffrage ?

' Ghartism , therefore , iin my opinionZ resolve ' s " . itself iri ' o prcr tection for . labour ; , this appears to have been ; tbe
ostensible object aimed at by the conveners of that meeting . I , therefore , consider the opposition there manifested as ill-timed ; and contrary to ' the sound tactics of ; ourvbody ; 'I am aware ' that ' the . Chartist . s of the metropolis have been" so . traired -to . political warfai'e , ' / tha ^ they are- as eager to combat / their opponents , on . the political ,- p latform , as the' Repubf licans i : of ; France , are to combat ' theirs M a ^ irer conflict iti the sstreets . 5 which mode of combat . will ultimately prove inost successful , events . have yet to determine ; something of thia spirit of . opposition j and a mistake as to . 'he kind of protection advocated by the cpnveners ' ofth ^ t ' . ' ineetirig must have ledto what jedrisider an unfortunate ; result . : ! . believe
that tbe , true policy of , ihe . Chartist . body , at . the present juncture , consists in an armed non-intervention , giving the liberty to such of their , troops as are fond of skirmishing , the right of . attacking the coratKon enemy ( the government ) either * in conjunctipn with the riteta ' pf the little Charter , or . the advocates ' for the protection ' of -labour ; but , the grand . body should be _ kej ) t well Grganised arid well disciplined , for any attack tliatcircuttistances , yet in ' the .. womb / of , futurity , - ; mayr favourably ' present . Respecting the dispute between , Messrs . Harney'dnd Claik , I can only say that-I am a Red ; deeply dyed , and lhat all past history clearly ' demonstrates that those who make half revolutions only increase
the oppression they Jabqurto avert . Bntthisis no argument in favour of the political scaffold ; .. being again raised on high , or . that the ; dungeons should be crowded with our opponents ; these are the weajions of our opponents ,: the devices of barbarous and cowardly men ; surely the Democratic party could ensure the security of their glorious principles without hafving racoutse to such extreme measures ; this , ray friends , is a mere invention of the enemy , who , . being cruel arid cowardly themselves , imagine their , opponents to be equally so . ; In conclusion , I trust that Chartism will havfi .. a recognised policy
by wbich we can all abide , tbat we may not have , as at present , adozeh masters ,-each with their little sect of disciples , but all unite in one grand system of operation . I think the Provisional Executive should name a day , after which no person , not previously enrolled , should , be , entitled to vete in . the election of officers ; let the candidates named r then , fully expound their views through the medium of the Northern Star , the whole body will thus have an opportunity , ¦ b y : means of such election , to decide upon'the policy to he adopted j but agaiu , 1 say , let us havs some defined policy laid down , for , by this means can we alone he successful . ... . . . . _ .- ' Thomas Martin Wheeler .
