      retain the " doubt" still , Mr . Pbatt ! Youknow that you Acre certified them to be "in accordance with lawf therefore , there can sot ? be no "doubt . " It is all certain ; stjbb ; complete . Else , what ' s the nse of you , or your certificate either ] Bnt- -while 3 * idd Pkati tells us of Ms "donbfc , " he does not tell us what cau 3 ed that " doubt . 15 He does not say "what the Bamre of the " doubt ' was . We can , therefore , only judge from the facts he has famished us vrith . He aid certify that the rules , trldcii he otce " doubted , " are " in accordance wiLh law . " Another code of rales , precisely similar " in * " ~ " '

      al l particulars , with the single exception that the one , the certified one , enjoins and enforces Comjouni ' . y of property , while the other provides for individual possession ; a code of rales , precisely smilar in er-ry respect , with this one exception , has been laid before him ' , and he refuses his certificate on the ground that the *' objects and means" do not come within the meaning of the Ac ! 5 . It is , therefore , impossible to come to other conclusion than that Mr . Tidd Pbjltt deem 3 the holding of property in common a 3 the only latvfcl ysiNciPLE of possession 1 ! His " doubt" could only he , that it would

      be unlawful for a number of men to combine to procure for themselves , individually , by united subscriptions , a portien of the soil : but that " doubt " Tff&s remoTed when he saw that the property they could by such means acquire would be'holden in common , and fsr common use . This at once re-, doted the " doubt / ' Oiher people , not yet convinced that Communism is the most perfeci embodyment of ** £ rst principles " , and thinking that they can secure 10 themselTes great benefits from the

      possession of property by individual members ; property pnrchased by united subscriptions , seek for the PBOTicnos already given to ccsutumsts ; and they » erefused , Mr . Tidd Piutt ( who has giTen the Cominuu ^ ste protection J , being of ** opinion" that their l objects do not come within the meaning of the Law V Whai & premium is here held ^ ut for men to become Communists ! M Do this , " say 3 Tidd PKvre , and I trill give you ihe Protection of iiie Law" " Do it sot , " says the same official , ** axd I TOLL WITHHOLD 1 HAT PROTECTION" I

      Mat there is another point . His " attention has been called to the 39 ; h Geo . HI . c . 79 , and the 57 th Geo . HI ., c . 19 , -which provides that every society except of a religiousfoi chxrhakle nature only , which shall be composed of di 2 rent divisions or branches , < &e- < fcc ^ shall be deemed and taken for an unlawful combination and confederacy , " Well , here is the whole matter . Oor ' s is a society for Mvtvxl 33 e 5 STi » It provides machinery for securing ihat Benefit to every , one ,,. of its members . Thas Benefit is , the purchase and occupation of Land , whereon to employ themselves , for the support of themselves and their families . Is not this & chamiable object ? Could there be one

      more charitable 1 Thejpeople are starving . They are unemployed . Those wbojfcave employment , hav , e not wages sufficient to purchase for themselves the jntrest necessaries of life . A society is here , organized , which will eaablo these men , so circumstanced io become placed ia an independent position , pro-Tidmg for them employment , ^ nd afield en which to exercise their industry . What could be more chabjtablb ! Besides this , Benefit Societies have always been held to be societies organized for chariialle purposes . Is oms a Benifit Society ? To have refused the enrolment , Tidd Pratt should have shown that there is no Beszpit connected with it .

      This he cinnct do ; and , therefore , he was bound to enrol it , as a charitable society , had he fulfilled She requirements of the law . At * U events there islasrmneh ~ , BEirEFn . in our Society , as in the Society Tidd Pbatt has already enroll ' d ; unles indeed he deems Community of property to be the greatest benefit of ill . And that BOcieiy is a society ** composed of different divisions and branches , acting separately and distinct from each other . " All this Mr . Tidd Pbatt has certified to be u in accordance with law : " tbereforethe Acts lie has referred ns to , will not lelp him out of the mess . But then he has refused to certify . What are the next step 3 to take !

      The act 10 ; h George IT ., c 56 , section 5 , provides : — *• In cass any such barrister or adTocate shall refess to certify all or any of the roles bo to be submitted for Ids perusal and examination , it » h » il thtn be l&'wful for any such society to submit the same to the court of qnsxter session * ,, together -with the reasons assigned by Tiis said barrister or advocate , in -writing , for any such rejection or disapproval-of any one or more such rale ?; and that toe jnsnee * at tbeir said quarter ses sions shall and may , if they think fit , confirm and allow »*>«> same , tnotnritbstaiMling any such , rejection or disapproval by any such barrister or advocate . "

      In coBnecfion with this clause , which we have gao ; ed from Mr . TiDDpaATr ' s own edition of" The Law relating to Benefii Societies , " ihcxe ib a footnote from the pen of Mr . Tidd . Pratt himself , which says : — "By the previous clanse , the barrister , die , is to pomt out in what part , if adj . the rules submitted to tTtn sre in his opinion repugnant to la ^ w , &c ; si : d the provMonB of ttds Bection are intended to give the sooety as appeal to the sessions against his refusal to certify . "

      Here , tlea , is a power of appeal given . . That power wSl be exercised . At the next Quarter Seasons the appeal will be made ; and if it should happtn to beiunsnccessfnl there , —a contingency not Tery liidLy to happen , —application will be made to the Court t . i Queen ' s Bench for a Mandamus , to compel Mr . Tidd Psatt to do his duty . And if the afikir should go sofar&s that , there cannot be two opinions aslo the Jesuit . The Conrt will only need to be shewn that Tidd Tsatt has refused to do for ns what he has dene for others ; and tbe partiality of his actions will , no doubt , be visitvd with heavy judicial censure . But what is to bB done in the meantime 1 Are we

      to s » nd still \ Are we to allow timid fear 3 to delt - as from all action ! Ar 3 we to conjure up evtry onlikely difiicnltyj and fancy tvery imaginable array of opposition 1 Are we to try to alarm , where no alarm teed exist ? or are we to tTy io go uniudJy to weik , to make tee best of ttse orcnmgiances in which we find ourselves p ' aced ? Axe we to Bit watching each other , and trying to catch at words , for the purpose of thwarting me great ofejtci all" profess to have at heart I or are we to lend every aid in a kind and friendly manner , to overcome the eb 3 tacles thrown in our path !

      Should we not imitate the conduct of our Executive They have looked at the position in which we are placed . They hare determined on action ; but *> ti U action in accordance with late . This cas be do » e . Tins must be done : and vrhen the enrolment is obtained from the Courts of Law , then we shall be Te * dy to bring into full « peration all the paj £ 3 of our Beneficial Plan . Here is the address of the Executive : —

Tee cbair -was taken , fibortly after eleven o ' clock , by . Mr . H < sr . Ty TiuoaL Tbe CbaiiiHas , aftei a few introductory observations on ibt i ^ i : ure « i the meeting , said that the first rtaolu .

      Untitled Article

      tion which would be proposed was to the following tffrct : — " That it is tbe opinion of this meeting that the present rate of wages is not sufficient to maintain the collitrs and their families . " Mr . Berry then addressed the meeting . He said that he need enly ask the public to look at the Miners ' cheeks , to convince them that the rate of wa « es was not Bnmcient . At the present time , the rate in that district was about 2 s . a day . and bow was & man to maintain himself , a wife , and four or five children on that ?

      Yet for that small sum they bad to work from twelve to fourteen hours a day in the eunlesa mine . Were they not , he -would ask , worse off than tbe African slave ? They were , and the question was , how this evil was to be remedied . They had already tried their sectional uuions and partial strikes , and those bad done no good ; and they mnst , ' therefore , as the only effec ' ual remedy , join the Miners' A&Bociation of Great Britain and Ireland . They would extend their union from John o'Groat ' s boose to the farthest end of Cornwall , and into Wales and Ireland .

      The Chaibman , after a few observations on the bard toil of the miners , and on tbe manner in which they were oppressed , said that the second resolution was , " That in the opinion of this meeting , the miner is entitled to a fair day ' s wages for a hard day's work . " Mr . Henbt Bubiet then addressed tbe meeting at considerable length . He said that a person who had never before been in the county of Lancaster would , on entering it , see at onca that it was a great mining and manufacturing county ; and he need hardly tell the meeting that its vast commerce and it 3 manufactures were almost all carried on through the medium of coal ¦ works . Was it not right , therefore , that those men who were employed in getting from the bowels of the

      earth so valuable an article , an article adding to tbe wealth and comfort of mankind , should themselves be comfortable and happy ? To say the leaBt of it , they ougbt to have a living for their labour . The speaker procseded . at length to Illustrate his subject by particular cases , and asserted that the masters who ¦ were determined to obtain custom by low prices at first resorted to the method of substituting , without notice to the men , tubs that contained much more than the stipulated quantity . When the men detected the imposition , they grumbled , bat quietly submitted , thinking that by tasking their energies , and working an hour or two additional , they mfght still realize tbe same amount Of wages . In time , however , the other Blasters followed in the race of competition ; they reduced priees ; and then those who had taken the lead reduced the rate

      of wages , to enable them te make a atill further reduction in the price . Thus , without there being , us the Bpeaker contended , any necessity for this competition , which he attributed solely to the desire of the smaller capitalists to secure as great a return for their money as the larger capitalists , wages had been reduced , until the miners were now earning , in many places , little more than a penny an hour for their heavy labour in the sunless mine . This system had eventually been found to be prt-jndicial , not only to the employers and to tbe employed , but to tbe shopkeepers and others dependant on" tbe working classes . The enly remedy for this , tha only means of raising the wretched , oppressed , and miserable miner from his present condition , was , aa he had before stated , to join the union , which "was now progressing at a railroad speed .

      Mr . Thompson , of Newcastle , was tbe next speaker , In 1831 , he said , it -was supposed by the employers in the north country that their colliers were -working to theutmoststretch of their physical powers , in a reasonable way . and they agreed to give what they considered a fair rate of remuneration . The men accepted it ; but in the coutsb of the year they found out that tfee tubs , which ought only to have contained 20 pecks , contained on the average 27 pecks , and that when they wrought by weight instead of measure , they were getting 7 ewt . instead of 6 ^ . This , It -would be at once seen , would Bake a considerable difference in a year , when there was 45 . 000 men employed . In one instance , however , it was found thata tub would contain 41 instead of 20 pecks . The consequence was that the miners employed

      a man at 18 s . a-wtek , to see that tbe coals were properly weighed , and after paying his wages , the men at that one colliery wer « clear gainers to the extent of £ 95 In another colliery , however , the Injustice was not remedied until the men struck , and even after that some new tubs , which were represented as fair , Wtre foisted on the men . Instead , however , of containing 20 pecks , they contained 30 . —( Cries of ' « Shame . " ) The speaker after deprecating local Btrikes and local unions , proceeded to say . —The miners must therefore co-operate throughout th « whole of the coal districts in Great Britain and Ireland . They would enter Into < 1 bond ; and this must extend the length and breadth of the empire , so that there might be an understanding

      between all the working colliers , and that they might all struggle together , at thh same time , in England , Ireland , Scotland , and Wales . But they did not want to strike . Strikes weie bad things ; they ¦ were evil things ; they were considered injurious both to the employer and the employed . By tbe present rate of remuneration , however , they were clamming to death ; and he thought it was mush better to clam to death in a state of idleness than in a state of bard and unpaid labour in thefr pits— ( cheers ) . They asked for a fair remuneration . If the masters granted it , they wonld not strike ; but if they would not accede to it , they ( the men ) should be compelled to strike , and thot would be a dire consequence , in the present state of the empire .

      It was then stated that delegates were to be elected for St . Helens , to attend the National Conference of the Colliers , at Newcsitle , on the 3 rd of November ; bnt , in consequence of tbe heavy rain , it wn ? agreed that the election should be made at tbe meeting of delegates from all the colleriea in the neighbourhood which was to take place immediately after the cIobb of tbe public meeting . The meeting , which was throughout marked by great order and decorum , concluded shortly before one o ' clock . None of tbe persona present seemed to be aware of the fact that the proprietors and workers of tbe coal mines in the neighbourhood of St . Helens have not only agreed to raise the price of coals from 5 s . to 5 s . lOd . per ton . bnt that they have in a circular given notice to that effect to their customers .

      [ We learn from onr correspondent tbat the meeting unanimonsly passed a vote of thanks to the Proprietor and Editor of this paper , for their advocacy of the Colliers' rights . That vote the Liverpool Times very generously burked , E . N . S ] The delegate meeting commenced immediately after , at the kouBfi of Mr , G .

      ( From the Chronicle of Thursday . ) PROSECUTIONS—RfJMOURED ARREST OF MR . OCONNELL . Dublin , Tuesday . The town was to-day alive with rumours^—orir ginate ' i 6 y the Orange party—that Mr . O'Cbnnell i ad been arrested ; according to one account , that be had received a communication from the head police office , requiring his attendance , in order to give bail to answer a charge of sedition . L saw Mr . O'Cor . nell at three o'clock this afternoon , and at that hour , certainly , he had received no such communication . Indeed , L am convinced that the rumours regarding his arrest are mere inventions .

      For the reports about Government prosecutions , there is , I have reason to believe , some ground . A number of such prosecutions , it is stared , have been determined upon . According to tbe information whioh bas reached me , indie ments for sedition have been prkpared against VIr . O'Canneil , amongst others , and there are also to be prosecutions against some of the newspapers . I have heard that drafts of tbe indictments havo bean forwarded from Dublin Castle to the Home Office in London , as the Government at the other side have determined that no important stop shall be takea in Ireland without their direct saactiou . Indeed * it is well known here , and it is a , dm tted by the Dublin Evening Muil , that Lord IK Grey broughfcover the draft of a proclamation aaainst the Clontarf meeting , prepard by Sir Wm . Follett .

      ( From the Times of Thursday . j Dublin , Tuesday . I mentioned in my communication , of yesterday that the excitement ( both natural and national ) consequent , on the events of ihe previous three days was gradually wearing itsali' oat , and that this eon .-j-tummation had been hastened by the dojsvacast ion © of Mr . U'Connell ' a speech at the Repeal Association yesterday , —a speeoh which , tak .-n in conjunction with iiiB brief remarks on Saturday , entreating obedience to the Roy&l Proclamation , has , I am assured , caused some surprise , if not regret , among

      the m » re ardent , perhaps more honest , disciples of the a s ' nauon . N » r Vs this feeling likely to be decreas . d by Mr . O'Cwinell ' a posi-piandial oration at la « t tiiiilH ' s banquet in the Rotunda . His warmest admirers must admit that a nitre jejune , pusiilaninidus harangu ¦ , uader sucb . circianstancfs , and with such materials for . hia peculiar style of oratory , never before fell Iron * she lips of the Learned Gentleman , and contrasts , sadiy with the indignant ( it may have been mock heroic ) barst of eloquence with . whioh he denounced the message delivered to both . Houses of Parliament early in the summer .

      The rumour is rife this afternoon that Government , far from having any idea of doing things byr huhv . - ' , ate alum following up tha firofc blow at the . vea ^ os . by a vigorous- prosecution of its leading , abet'ors . Several parties are named against whom the aria of the law will be stretched ; forth ; -b . at . m-, the absence of authoritative information , and . in . the present state of uncertainty , with report following upon report , it would bo unsafe , as well as nnwise , to give more than a passing notice of what may hereafter transpire It may not , however , be out of place to mention , that among the many speeches and documents which are said to have engaged the attention , of the law officers of the Crown , are the resolutiunB agreed to at the Rath of Mullaghmast .
