We ; ¦ wish-we could fer its admissions and attempted white- cashing of the employers , really confirmed all that ' 2 ir . BofcerJs and tie " witnesses had advanced . He con- ' eluded as follows : — * " « ibe question essentially comes Bimply to this , -wbe- j ther tie masters or men are to hare supreme authority ; — which ij to hars the controlling poorer ? The men ; certainly cannot expect to dictate to "their employers ; ¦ Tirt tie otthbm "would bo "wiH'ng to remedy all real abnsea if the men "would snbmit- to acknowledge that tiiey were -wrong . ( Hootings ) If they -will go to York " we wEl immediately meet any deputation , and bear any complaint the men bare te make , and if they

      sre reasonable and proper vre will undoubtedly concede to them . "We will do every thing we can to restore a good feeling between the masters and the men If the men will only go to wort , but we cannot be expected io sneenmb to the men . Bat , gentlemen , I go further , and will proTettat the Thornley Coal Company had every desire to candliafce those differences and disputes between , themselves and the men , and I was instructed that if any attempt had been made yesterday merning to negotiate with a view to settle the dispute , to make offers which no reasonable man could have ever refused . But no such attempt wa 3 ever made—ne suggestion was ieH out byMr . ~ Roberte , and we were not in a aituation so make it The arrangement that I -was prepared to make "was this . Here Mi . M . read the following inztroctions from toe Thornier Coal Company : —»

      *• Before going into court , if possible , but if not , in the Court , Mr . Marshall should state that the Company have net pressed this conviction either with the Tiew to punish the three men , who are no worse than ^ be rest , or -with an intention to liold any man ie an T&greemaat which may be considered \ mfair or harsh { but which they cannot admit to be either ) , their objectias been solely with a view to assert the laws of the country , which they think hava been violated . Snd , ¦ with this view , they have proposed that on the men letumingto their work , the Company will consent to

      alter the mode of levying fines for laid-out coals to the mode practised at any ether colleries which may be working similar seams in the district , 61 they will leave to reference in the usual way the mode of levying them , " with Qua further prevision that , if either tie Company or the men object to the mode se fixed , it shall be sei aside , sod the men freed from their agreement on quitting their , toasts in fourteen days , and delivering up their work tools belonging to the Csznpanv : the condition precedent to all tola tnal they Tesume jlipiy work- **

      — That proposition we are still' prepared to abide by —( a voice , " we will go out of our hooses , and be free men ") . With these observation * I shall leave the i case fuiij- in yoar bauds ; and it is for you to Bay , ¦ whether these men bare acted in accordance with the ; law , or they have not The Bench then retired , and , after being absent abont . twenty miEUtes , leiumed into court ' Addressing the m + xtoTti , the Chairman sited -whether &ey would stOl abide by the offer . Mr . Marshall replied that they would , provided the men would first concede that they weie suifcty , by returni ng to Iheir work . The magistrates then looked at Mr . Bsberts , who , after a pause of about two mlnntes , ad-, ' dressed them thns : — "If I understand this offer ; laghtly , the th asters admit by it that the points in dispute are points which ought to be decided by arbitration ; bnl they say that before they do what they thus admit they ought to do—and what thereto

      fore they ou ^ ht long ago , my clients are first to return to work ; and this return to work is pat forward emphatically and avowedly as admis-, sion of gnilt Tis too late in life for me to be a party to a lie . I feel the deep , nay , the awful responsibility : Which rests upon me . f Here , amid the breathless ] Jnlence of the Cjurt , Mr- B . -consulted for a few usmtnta -with the three men under trial , and said , in a subdued tone , Tis m I expeeted—virtne ib always courageous—firm to the last Mr . B > berts then turned to the Bench , and confiunedl " 2 have counselled with the three ' whoa 1 am mars inzme * in . vdlj defending : they refuse to acknotr ] eece themselvss gni . ty when they know them * . ' selves innocent . On their behalf—on the part of the : lh » nsand honest hearts in that gallery—J re / use the t&er . They can bear as they hava bom 6 toil and euf- feting—but through me they refuse to concur that they ere guilty .

      Sere the whole gallery broke out into one loud , and long-costamed shout of approbation . Then the sentence—one can hardly write the beastly thing—six weeks imprisonment and hard labour ! Set the end is not yet come . ' y oaiH StAFFOBDSHiKE . —On Tuesday last , the case of the men employed at the Tower Hill Colliery "Was ditided before Mesas . Hose and "Wood , at Uurslem . Mr , "Williams conducted tlie case of the men , sad Mr . Stepheoson for the employers . About three weeks Finee , all the coal-owners-in -the neighbourhood of Tower Hill advanced the wases ofihe miners " with the exception of Messrs . " Williamson and Kinnersley ^ the former of whose workmen sens is a nstice and request for the advance , bat tha Itqnesl was rejected ; the employer demanding of the men a fortnisht ' a notice . This the men Tery

      properly refused . Special warrant were issued by the magistrates for Vhe apprehension of seven of the men , six of whom were taken out of their bed 3 , but were afterwards liberated on bail . The men" surrendered themselves on Wednesday , the 10 th inst ., but the employers did not appear . Again , on Saturday the 17 ih , -when the case was adjourned to Tuesday the 19 ih , when it appeared that Mr . Stepbenson failed to prove thas the men ought to give the employers notice . The thing which to us appears the Bost strange is , that the Court teas a closed one , and that Mr . John Lsmax , the Agent of the Association teas twice turned out of the Court , although he wa 3 perfectly silent . Above six hundred nave been added ; . « the can-e during the last fortnight . Mr .

      First oy April Predictions !—A paragraph has been going the rounds oi the press ( and which we copied in our last ) , to the efftct that Mr .

It has been pointed out to , us , however , that it wa 3 O ' Connell himself , and not O'Connor , who used the language , the words uttered by O'ConneU , at a meeting in October , being— " Give mo bat six months * peace , and I'll give you my head on a block if , at the end of th&t time , jou have not a Parliament in College Green . " We dare say

      the 1 st of April ( All Fools' Day ) will come and go without either Repeal being carried , or Mr . O'CozsneU being a head shorter . Should people be so simple aa to take the trouble of reminding the member for Dublin that his head ia forfeited , his answer will probably be— " Don ' t you wish you may get it ! " Mr . O'Counell is a facetious gentleman , and we presume that on the 1 st of April he will feel much more disposed to favour his admirers with " The Grovea of Blarney , * ' than to " Repeal the Union * ' between body and soul , by giving them " his head upon a block .

      MORE BLOOD-WHEN WILL THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION COME ? We request the attention of our readers to an eloquently pathetic letter from the pen of Richard Massdek , in our 6 . a page , detailing the murders committed by the ? ao * EBTY men in the name of law . This week we have received the following letter from another true Chartist commenting upon another prison mubdbr committed it that aeomibable hell , the Milbank Penitentiary

      The victim , as will be seen , was a Staffordshire Chartist . Our correspondent does not state whether he has left a family ; if eo , their case is one demanding the immediate and . hearty sympathy of the democratic party . We had intended to have commented at Bome length upon the subject matter of both letters ; press of labour , and want of room have prevented us so doing . The omission is , however , amply made np by the contents of the letters themselves .

      TO THE KD 1 TOB O » THE KOBTHERS STAB . Dsab Sir , —I copy the following from the Sun newspaper of last Saturday evening : — " An inquest was held on tbe lb . h inst . ) in the Penitentiary , on the body of Wiliiam Garrat , aged 51 , a Chartist , who was convicted at the Stafford Special Commission , of liot , and sentenced to two years imprisonment ; he 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 should be put in possession of the facta connected with Mr . William Garrat ' s case , that all may be enabled to form an opinion upon

      the administration of justice ( so called ) in 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 ; by trad © a bricklayer , and the following character of him I have received from his employer , who says that Garrat was a good workman , and * a steady , honest , and upright man . " 1 can with confidence say that hewas a real democrat , and of a mild and amiable disposition . It is true he tt 3 S convicted aud sentenced as stated above ; but upon what evidence 3 Whyi upon the oath of a soldier , who swore that "Garrat threw a halfbrick , which hit his ( the witness ' s ) helmet . " Now for the facts .

      We all remember the 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 Bee the Leek men come in , he having a waJleing stick in one hand , and his friend hold of the other ; < xarrat being very short-sighted , and very hard of hearing , When they arrived at the turn of the road in Burslem , they found themselves Burrounded by the Leek men , who were running away , the dragoons following and firing at them , when a bullet from a carbine , discharged by a dragoon , entered the back of pcor

      Garrat , just below the left shoulder blade , passed throngb . tda body , and came out just above the left breast . His friend having hold of hii hand , all the white , solemnly declares that no half brick" was thrown by Garrat , who fell , and the poor fellow , in \* ? £ ¦" ' was coa ^ yed to the North Staffordshire Infirmary .

      LEEDS FREE TRADE DEMONSTRATION IN AID OF THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND OF £ 100 , 000 . AT a very numerous and most enthusiastic MEETING of tho FRIENDS of FREE TRADE , held in the Music Hall , on Wednesday , the 13 ; h December Instant ,

      THE WORSHIPFUL THE MAYOR IN THE CHAIR :-It was unanimously resolved , Moved by J . G . Marshall , Esq ., Seconded by Mr . Alderman Lupion , Supported by Hy . Ashwokth , Esq ., of Bolton . That , in the deliberate opinion of this Meeting , the Corn Laws have produced the most ruinous effects on tho manufactures and trade of this country—have restricted international exchange , engendered hostile commercial legislation on the part of other countries ^ and fostered rival manufactures—have mocked the hopes of the farmer in years of abundance , aud

      in periods of scarcity have injuriously affected all classes—and at the same time only atford a delusive protection to the landowner . That whilst , by these means ,- the physical condition of the people has been- deteriorated , a far more serious evil has been created , by alienating the operative from the \ vealthy aud govcruiug classes , by impeding social improvement , and loosening the bonds of social order . That regarding Free Trade as the most powerful moans of promoting mutual dependanceand will

      good among nations , —this Meeting holds } the Corn Laws as obstructive to the diffusion of peace and happiness throughout the world * it therefore feels called on to record its unqualified conpemnation of tho Corn Laws , —its solemn deprecation of all participation in their injustice , and its earnest determination to seek , by all legitimat e means to remove from the statute book this foul stain on its honour and purity , —this fatal precedent of vioious legislation . Moved by Mr . Councillor Cabbutt . Seconded by Ghoue Wise , Eeq . Ricuaed

      Supported by Cobden , JSsq ., M . P . That viewing all . duties on the import of food , whether fixed or gliding , as a commoa vrronss look-JDg at the inminent danger . of a more atr ' ngent . retaliatory policy , on the part of foreign statev , and holding as unfounded the tears expressed , that free trade will ruinously depress the price of agricultural produce , this meeting coneiders the total and immediate abolition of the Corn Laws as the onlv safe and just measure , whether it regards the rights o . f the cQvsaaier , the prosperity of manufactures and conferee , or tho vindication of those righteous principled of commercial policy which thesa laws have so long outraged . aws

P ., and John Bright , Esq , M . P ., for the moral courage and the consummate tact and talent with which they havo met the advocates of monopoly in their strongholds , surrounded by their tenants and dependants ; thus proving their firm and conscientious reliance on the truth of their principles , and by the ^ eminent success which has attended their efforts , justifying their position as the exponents of the nation's opinion and will on the vital question of Free Trade .

      Leeds Woollen Markets . —The demand for Woollen goods in the Cloth Halls , on Saturday last , was quite equal to what might be anticipated at this season of the year . The stocks of goods are very low , and of those most inquired after there are very few indeed on hand . On Tuesday there was not quite so much business done ; nor are the warehousemen quite bo busy as thoy were a few weeks ago . Bradford Market , Thursday . Wool . —There

      ir a sort of sluggishness in this pari of the trade , for the Staplers state they cannot arford to sell their Blocks at less rates than they have been realising , for there is no fjmng way among the country dealers to enable them to meet the buyers here . Yarn ^ There is & steady demand for Yarna , bat as it is near Christmas , those engaged in the home trade appear disposed-to work their stock closely up , ready for stock taking ; and as the sllippera cannot new se ; d out to distant markets , a little slackness may be looked for ; but we do not expect

      any reduction in prices . —Piece . —There is a fair demand for Orleans and Merinos ; other goods of a Fancy nature not so brick . There can be no doubt that the very low price of goods , whoa , compared with Wool , induces the Merchants to operate mors freely , seeing that the manufacturers are unwiiiing to lay up stock , and hava reduced their production , Richmond Corn Market , Saturday , Dec . I 6 tb . —We only had a thin supply of Grain in our Market to-dav . Wheat sold from t »* . 6 i . to 83 . ; Oats 2 s- 3 d . to " 3 5 . 2 d . ; Barley 4 j . to 4 i . 31 . ; Beans 43 8 d . to 5 s . per bushel .
