yir . Marshall then replied , delivering a Tery lengthy tptf ^ h , for wlrch we cannot possibly find room . We ¦ wish we could fer its admissions and attempted white wssMag of tbe employees , really coBfirmed all that Mr . Huberts and the 'witnesses had adranced .

Bat no BDch attempt wis eTer made—up suggestion was held out by Mr . Roberts , and to "were not in a situation so ni * ke it . The arrangement that 1 -vras prepared to inak * was this . Hers Mr .

? ' Before going into court , if possible , but if not , ritlie Gourt ,: Mr . Marshall ihonld Btate that the Comysn ^ have nat pressed this conviction either with tbe Tiew to punish the three men , who are no worse than ibs rest , or with an intention to hold any man te &n agreement * hich may be considered unfair or fcaTst vbut ¦ which they cannot admit to be either ) , their objtei has been solely ttith & view to assert the laws of tbe country , winch they think have been violated . And , ¦ with ibiM -new , t&ey iare proposed that on tfee men returning to their work , the Company will consent to
alter xLs mode of levying fines for laid-out coals to the mode practised at any other colleriea which may he Working similar seams in the district , -or they will leave to reference in the usual way the mode of levying them , -with this farther provision that , Kt either the Company or the men object to the mode zt > £ xed , It shall be sel aside , and the men freed from iheir agreement on quitting their ionses in fourteen days , and .

Mr . Marshall leplsiJ that they would , provided the men weuld first concede that thsy were guilty , by returning to their work . The magistrates then locked at Mr . B 3 bert 3 , who , after a pause of about two minutes , ad dressed them thus : — "It ~ 1 nBderstacQa this offer rightly , the masters admit by it that the points in ttispn'e are points which ought to be decided fey arbitration ; bni they say that before they do -what th&y thus admit they ought to do—and what

We have not room for his letter to the Editor of the Bristol
Mercury , but "we give the Ediior ' s notice of it ; he has certainly acted more honourably than the gentlemen of the press-gang nsnally do ; witaess their fabrication of the DaraEiapb , tbe falsehood of "which Mr . Simeon has exposed . Here is the notice from tbe Bristol Mercury : — First op April Predictions >—A paragraph has been going the rounds of the press ( and which we copied in our last ) , to the effeot that Mr . O'Connor had said that either Repeal must be carried , or Mr . O'ConneU ' s head be laid trpon the blook hy the la- , of April next ! It has been pointed out to ns , however , that it was O'Connell himself , and not O'Connor , who used tbe language , the words uttered by O'Connell , at a meeting in October , being— " Give
me but six months' peace , and I'll give you my bead on a block if , at tbe ead of that time , you have not a Parliament in College Green . " We dare say the 1 st of April ( All Foob' Day ) will come and go without either Repeal beiug carried , or Mr . O'Connell being a bead shorter . Should people be so simple as to take the trouble of reminding tbe member for Dublin that bis bead is forfeited , bis answer will probably be— Don ' t you wish you may get ii ! " Mr . O'Connell is a facetious gentleman , and we presume that on tbe 1 st of April he will feel mneh more disposed to > favour hi 3 admirers with ' The Groves of Blarney , " than to " Repeal the Union '' between body and soul , by giving them 14 his head npon a block . " Cokbespondknts not answered this week will be answered in our next .

MORE BLOOD-WHEN WILL THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION COME ! We request tbe attention of our readers to an eloquently pathetic letter from the pen of Richahd MxiSDES , in our 6 th page , detailing the murders committed by the jropebty men in the name of law . This wetk we have received tbe following letter from another trne Chartist cemmen ' . ii . £ upon another prison murder committed it that abominable hell , the Milbank Penitentiary . The victim , as ¦ will be seen , was a Staffordshire Chartist . Oni correspondent does not state whether be has left a family ; if so , their case is one demanding the immediate and hearty sympathy of the democratic party . " We had intended to hav& commented at some length npon tbe BBbject matter of
both letters ; press of labour , and want of room have prevented us so doing . The omission is , bowever , amply made tip by tbe contents of the letters themselves .
TO THE EDITOR OB THE SOUTHERN STAR . Dear Sir , —I copy the following from the Sun newspaper of last Saturday evening : — An inquest was beld on the loih inst ., in the Penitentiary , on the body of William Garrai , aged 51 , a Chartist , who was convicted at the Stafford Special Commission , of riot , and sentenced to two years imprisonment ; be died on Thursday , of inflammation in the bowels , and the jury returned a verdict accordingly . " Now , Sir , as many of your readers may see the above , I think it nothing but right that they Bhonld be put in po £ Ees * ion of the facta connected wiih Mr . William Garrat ' a case , that all maj be enabled to form an opinion npon
the administration of justice ( so called ) m this " enlightened" and " Christian" country (?) I have known Mr . Garrat a number of years : he was a native of Derbyshire , but latterly resided at Stokeupon- Trent ; bj trade a bricklayer , and the following character of him I have received from his employer , who Eays that" Garrat was a good workman , and a steady , honest , and upright man . " I can with confidence say that he was a real democrat , and of a mild and amiable disposition . It is true he was convicted and sentenced as stated above ; but upon what evidence 1 Why , upon the oath of a soldier , who swore that M Garrat threw a halfbrick , which hit bis { the witness's ) helmet . " Now for the facts .
We all remember tho memorable outbreak of 1842 . On the 16 th of Angust , 1842 , it was reported here that a body of men was coming to the Potteries from Leek . Mr . Garrat went with a friend ( who now sits by me while I am writing ) to Burslem , one of the Pottery towns , to see tbe Leek men come in , he having a walking stick in one hand , and his friend hold of the other ; Garrat being verj short-sighted , and very bard of bearing . When they arrived at tke turn of the wad in Bnrslem , they fonnd themselves eurroundedbv the Leek men , who were running away , the dragoons following and firing at them , when a bullet from a carbine , dis charged by & dragoon , entered the back of poor Garrat , just below tbe leftBhoulde * blade , passed
through his body , and came out jost above the left breast . His friend having hold of his band , all tho "while , solemnly declares that no " half brick" was thrown by Garrat , who fell , and the poor fellow , in . \ - i £ ' waa wwroyed to the North Staffordshire Infinaarj . Any body would have naturally snpr ^ sed , that even if Garrat did throw the « nalf-brie ^ baving a bnUet passed through his body wjd have been sufficient punishment . Bui no , in ^ his class-ridden country a bullet passed through » man ' s body is a mere trifle , if tne man ib oppose ^ to tbe powers that be . A more lingeries , a ny ^ e dreadful death is accessary , as was the case r ^ th poor Garrat , for he was watched by a harpy or the law , who on Garrat ' s partial rcBtoratton i © b '^ altb , baa him before tbe

Leeds Woollen Markets . —The demand for Woollen goods in the Cloth Halls , on Saturday last was quite equal to what might bo anticipated at this season of the year .

Bradford Market , Thursday . —~ WooL—There is a sort of sluggishness in this part of the trade , fat the Staplers state they cannot atford to sell theit stocks at Ies 3 rates than they have been realising * for there is no giving way among tbe country dealers
to enable them to meet the buyers here . Yarn " There is a steady demand for Yarns ,, but as it& near Christmas , those engaged in the home trade appear disposed to work their stock clpselj up , ready for stock taking ; and as / "the ' shipper * cannot new send out to distant markets , a littl « slackness may be looked for ; but we do not expect any reduction in pricea .- ^ Piece . —There is * . / $ demand for Orleans and Merinos ; other goods of * Fancy nature not so brisk .: There can be np doaoj that the very low price of goods , whea cotapiW " with Wool , induces the Merchants to operate / oor * freely , se ^ s that the manufacturers are unwUKtf to lay up stock , and have reduced their production .
