Was- ; itaff , one of the Satat Paneias Board of Directors , -was ' ¦ anaEimonaly called to the chair , \ rlio briefly opened the meeting by stating the o'gects for which it was eairvened . and called on Mr . Aldis to more the first resolnt'on , Ihe resolution vu as follow * : — " That this meeting expresi their sorrow anl indignation that the coal monopoly , by which tfee sorting men of the metropolis are made to p ? y an enormous price for one ef the necessaries of life , shonlff have also directed iti oppresrlon noon its own workmen ta mch a dearee as to
compel the Minsra to adept their present struggle for snbsistenca against most grinding fcXictioDB ; and this meeting trusts that the privations and snffjiBfs ei-dnred by ths = e heroic men , along with , and in behalf of , their wirea and famiHea , will meet with " the sjmpstby and assistance of the co-nmunny at large , the commnnity at large fjeiDg the prey of all such oYergn >» n monopolies , end baring the same interest as the workmen in resisting the increase and abuse of their eionnms power . " Mr . Aldis said , this was a question which concerned our own pocfeeta , therefore self-interest had induced him to come forward . The men fMiners ) were apprenticed during tbtir own lives—continually "Working ni » der bonds—and when the masters did not choose tc find them wart they were not . alls wed to Wuri for any one elas bnt was compelled to remain idle : hence the pauciry of coals in the niarfeet , and their high price in the ilttropolis , —( he ^ r , hear , / the
pressure of which was bow so seTer&ly felt —( cheers ; . He thought thus monopc-ly of masters should be brofeen up . He was sure they did not merely coaie there out , of curiosity , hut , if possible , to abol ' s ' u the crying e ^ a—ibe 3 r , hear ) , ili . Aldis then sbly seated the " , oppression endured by the men , aid lha hvsvy flues ' Stfhcted by thrir mon-poVsiEg masteri—iainid loud crixi of shame , Bhamej . Hs asked was its right that educated men , supposed to be possessed of n fined id us , should oppress their fellow-men -who produo&d tttem all their comforts and luxuries , asa play such 61 nj shasisfnl tricks upon those they deeased " taeir Inferiors , l > u » -who , by Uieir heroic "bewijjs .. bafl EhfWB fh . it . bi-It ^ b /»?_ Tsrr far tbeir superiors —( Jcnii ChcerSt ?

of their mother earth , that earth on which it waa in- i i ? ni 3 ed they ahonlsl act •* all for each , and each for all * ] Mr . Farrar regretted , notwithstanding that he suffered j materially from the bish price of coals , that they were ] not ten times their prsisn ? price j it w . uid be but a \ just iiflic'ion for the treaendous wrongs they" had ¦ allowed to bw heaped on the men —( hear , bear ) which he Sh < nigbt was much to their disgrace ; and if the men of ; tht great metropolis did their duty , they -wouid arouse ! fcrsisdvea and put an end io it at once and ioi ¦ erei— ; { loud efc- era ) . If they did , © ppreasion would c ^ ase , j tbt men would obtain the pittance they had asked for ' , Ifcfcir labour , the masters' moBopoly wuula be broken j ¦ op , a better supply of coals to the London market ;

Mr . i "WiliMl Sitsoc , a delegate from ibe Co * l Miners , Was j introduced by the Chairman . He was sorry to say that She ?

Mr Ritson lien entered into a ttatenitni of the Jtljuers srievancis , and tbt ii-oss wrongs rnfl-cti-d on them , -vhitii elicited the warmest sympathies of aU-preEent . Mr .

Sympathy fob thb Coal Minlbs . —A public meetiDg was held on Thursday night , the 15 th inst at ihe Bird in Hand Assembly Rooms , Stratford for the purpose of taking into consideration the strike of the Miners of Durham and Northumberland , aud to adopt measarea for their support . Mr . Cookson was called to tbe chair , who opened tha business of the meeting by staring its objects , iu a ueai and appropriate speech , and sat down by calling on Mr . Wilson , one of the Miners Delegates , to address the meeting . Mr , Wikon came forward and said the Miners had now been on strike nineteea weeks , to resist the aggressive attack of their merciless employers . He largely expatiated on the grievances of which they had to complain , and conoluded by
making a warm appeal to his audience to come forward with their support , and lend a helping hand to extricate their fellow countrymen troin the miseries and sufferings which they had been plunged into by the worshippers or mammon . Mr . Morgan , another delegate from the Miners , fully explained the oppressive nature of tha aKrcemont proposed by the masters , and iho injurious effects of tho ooa \ trade monopoly , alia 9 , tho restriction of the quantity of coals imported into the London market , carried on b y tho combination of the pit proprietors of the Isorth . Mr . Phipp moved the following resolution " That this meeting is of opinion after hearing the statements made by . the Mii ; ers Delegates , that they have been a severely oppressed body of men , and they
are perfectly right in the course they have pursued to resist the aggrcBsive attacks tmde upon them by their merciless employers ; and that this meeting hpartily pledges itsult to support them so long as they mayconcinue on strike . " Mr . Sheppard seconded the resolution , and made an impressive speech by showing the utility of tbeir coming forward to support the Miners , for tho Minors case w :: s that of the working classes generally . It was labour struggling against capital , and they might be assured if the Miners was crushed down under its iron hoofs , that they would not be long without being crushed a'so .
Tho speaker sat down amidst great applause . The resolution was carried unanimously . Mr Spark * mo red that a collecting committee bo appointed by this meeting , consisting of one or more from each phop or works in Stratford and its noijthbourhood , who fchall provide themselves with collecting books , and inf * et weekly to give in and remit each money collected to the Miners Committee , Yorkshire Grey , 53 , Lower Thames Street , for the Eupport of their breihren .

AsHTONUftDEB-LYWE . —Anniversary of the nevarto-be-forgotten , nover-to-be-forgiven , bbod-stained 16 tL of August . jTne ever bnsy silent wheels of time are moving rapidly onward , and have again brought ns to another anniversary of that fatal day when , assembled on St . Peter's Field peaceably tb petition for reform , sixteen of oar fellow-men and women were brutally murdered in cold blood , and upwards of one thousand shamefully wounded . On Friday last , August 16 , the black flig was seen flattering in the breeze for the twenty-fourth time , at the house of Mr . ) John Clayton , Charlestown , near Ashtonunder-lyaej who , along with his wife , Nancy ,
were badly wounded on the above day . On one side of the flig were inscribed in characters of blood , six inches square , —" Murder : August 16 th , 1819 ; at Peterloo" ; on the other side was— " Remember the Blood that was shed at Peterloo . " At eight o ' ciook in the evening about five hundred people assembled on an open area , and sun ;* the celebrated anthem composed for the occasion , by S . Bamford , of iVliddleton , begiuuihg , " Parent of the wide creation / ' All those present at Peterloo , on the above day , were dressed in deep mourning . Similar demonstrations were exhibited at Hurst Brooks , and other places in the neighbourhood .
Odd Fellowship . —The Loyal Bluoher Lodge , No 8 , of the Mai . Chester Unity of Indcpendant Order of Odd Fellows , held their thirtieth anniversary on Saturday last , at the house of Mr . Robert Aikn , the Royal Oak Inn , Vindry-strcet , Stalcybridge . Tais being tho first aanual feast held since the removal pf the Lodge to tho above house , it caused considerable animation amongst the members of the various Lodges in the district The splendid room was open during the day for public inspection . About six o ' clock the member * aud their friends began to assembl , and iu a short , time , 180 sat , down to One of the must , sumptuous dinners that , ever adorned a table . During the time of dinner a band of excellent musicians , in splendid uniform , was playing sotna of the moat fashionable airs . When the cloth was witharawu , S . j Nicld , E-q ., was called on ' to preside , ha being one of the oldest members in the Order . Mr . John i'Nield . Secretary to tho Lo , dfje ,
addressed the company at considerable length , stating the objects of the society . Dancing and singing succeeded , which was kept up to a late hour ; the evening being spent iu a manner that did credit to all parties . The widows on this occasion was gratuitousiy provided for out of the funds of the Lodge . Capture of a Foreign Smuggler . —Her Majesty ' s cutter Prince Albert , Lieutenant Brown , R . jS ., commander , brought , into Kingstown harbour , near Dublin , tho forjeigu smuggling lugger , Cyrus , Of Flushing , with a crow of 12 men and a cargo oi 175 bales of leaf tobacco , which it is supposed she was expected to laud iu tho neighbourhood of Belfast . The coast guard at Strangt ' ord station gave her cha .-o on Wedensday , but owing to her sailing abilities she got out to sea , on which the Prince Albert , placed on that station , was advised of her approximation , when thac vessel , after a run of some hours , came up with and captured her at the Calf of Man . I
American Wit . —( One of the American papers observes ol' Mr . Went worth , the member of Congress for the district of Illinois , who , it appears , is of " pretty considerable '' altitude , that "be mo tall that when ho addresses the people , iustead of mounting a stump , as is usual in the west , they have to dig a hole for him to stand in . " Another paper , which goes the whole ticket against Mr . Wentworih , politely observes , that " they dig a hole for him , not because he is tall , but because he never feels at home exc . pt when he is up to his chin in dirt . "
Antidote for Pbussic Acid . —We feel much pleasure in announcing in these colums that eome rece ; . t experiments 1 made by Messre . T . aud H . Smith , of Duke-street , Edinburgh , with a view to discover an antidote for prussio acid , have been brought to a successful termination . It was previouiy well known that tha acid might bo neutralized , but a perfect neutralizing power , innoxious to the stomach in itself , easily used , and readily 10 be procured , has hitherto , as far aa we are aware , been a thing altogether uuknowu . ! The sulphate of iron , commonly called green vitriol , was lately stated by Sir G . Let ' evre to be an antidote to this poison , in the pages
of the Lancet . It in not so , as tho Messrs . Smith showed in reply . However , the presentation of oxidized iron to the deadly acid is in reality the fundamental feature k > f their own discovery . Only , it was necessary to find out how to present it to the acid in the shape in which the ar . id wiil combine with it , and to do that safely is a difficult matter , as all medical men well ; know . The iron , as the late experiments demonstrate , must bo in a state partly of peroxide , and partly of protoxide , when combined with which , only , will the acid form the desired compound , a com pound woll known as Prussian blue , which is perfectly haivmlcas in the stomach . It was the observation that iu that salt the iron was
peculiarly and doubly oxidized , which , while showing the uselessaes of common sulphate of iron , suggested the formation of another combination of the bulphuric acid witb the oxidized metal , which might take up ' the prussio acid , and form Prussian blue . Tho , accomplishment of this combination constitutes the antidote . The prussic acid is turned in the stomach into Prussian blue ; there an men , harmless body . ' , We only give what may bo held eDough to satisfy the informed , as well as the uninformed , of the possibility—the chymical possibility—of the remedy , J —Scotsman . i

distauco ( 230 miles ) haying been accomplished in 15 ^ hours . Tho stoppage in Ostend exceeded two hours . Th e Season and thB Crops —The wea' her since our last ha » , on the wtiolc , b « eu very unfavourable to the progress of tho harvest , although Sunday was a Sub day , and yesterday morning was tolerably so . 1 n the evening there waa a drizzling rain , and the glass again went down . A ! very large portion both of the wheat and oats is cut ia South Lancashire , and if the weather should take up , great part of it will ba carried bef ' oro Saturday night . Should the present unfavourable weather continue , tho quality of the grain will suffer . The green crops are doing as wtll as possible . —Liverpool Times—Tuesday .

The late Deaih and Burial of Piiiuce ALBERT S DoG . —We last Week pUblisheU , exclusively , the account of tbe lamentable doath and Buleuiu funeral of Prince Albert's dug ; aod if we die * , nut put the column which contained the narrative in mourning , it was simply because we imagined lhat eufflcient teats were » bni at WmUsor to ruuder any additional gluoin at the Weekly Dispatch Office a mere work of aupererotaiion . We cave , however , received many letters upon tbe su'ject ; tome of our correapondents ii . quira whether tbe account is actually true , soberly and Bsriously ; or whether it be an invention of our own . We reply that ihe dct&us Eia tokmn truths—ihut the dog died , and vm buried in ttio manner related by us . We
nwthtr nodtd nor BUhtracted—diminished nor exaggerated , one tittle relative to this very momentous and -. inportautiiSiir . Our only surprise was , that a Cabinet Cuuscil wao uot calltsd iu cousequence of tbe illustrious annual ' s .. tatb , and tbat the Aicbbisbup of Cameibury w . i 3 not r < . quj 3 ted to pe j fo-. m tue solemn ctremuny of i . iteriiieut . Nuw , to spu > k aerioualy , we agree with , the « bbervaiiun of ons of our corespondents , that tbe matter is pre-eminently calculated to bring royalty into disrepute There was omy one view to be taken of the business—it vat positively disgraceful . A Panee ' s dog has mure sptnl upon his funeral than fifty , or perhaps a hundred Cbri » vian »; but then the dog dies iu a p& ; ace , and tbe Christiana dio in a woiktiuuso 1 There hfcH the diff-rt-nce . See what it is to be a Prince !
Why , even a Prince ' s clo ^ is worth ; i hundred Christian m a ! Wnat wiil the txc = llent prolalea in Jawn sleeves bi > to this bo . eum inoc&ery of their riles of burial ?

Prince Albert ,
ttien , may have his rt > yal fancies , although he is not quiU ) a KiUk ,: at ail eveuia he is & Queen ' s t . nsband . His delight is to collect curiou animals , and to bury Idcin sumptuously wher they die .

This aosurdity on the part of Prince Albert can only tend to lower him in tbe estimation of the public , a&u &ive u -very unfavourable opinion of his acuso usd kuunieage of ihe world .

ME 4 EMET ALL We take the following article from the Times , on the voluntary abdication of this extraordinary man : >* - Since tho Emperor Ohafles V . retired to the monastery ol' St . J ust , the world has scarcely witnessed so singular and unexpected au act of voluntary abdication as that of Mehemet Ali , which has just been announced by the French telegraph . Although the retirement of the Pasha of Eaypt from public ftffiirB to the precincts of the Holy Cities cannot be compared , in political importance , to the seclusion of the august head of the 16 th century , yet as an instance of individual force of character it is not less remarkable ; and it would seem as if the most signal
renunciations of political greatness were to crown the Jives of those men who had been most eager in the pursuit of it . Mehemet Ali will occupy a conspicuous position iu tho history of Orion ' al nations , as one of the greatest , and probably the last , of those men who rose by the sole energy of their natures and tho capricious influences of Asiatic manners from the lowest orders of society to ali but the supreme dignity of the Mussulman empire . Like H ^ dur Ali , or tho low born heroes Who , in past a ^ i . s aud ia various countries , disputed the ascendancy of tho crow * over the orescent , Mehemet Ali , founa within himsolf resources equal to the pressure of the moat eveuttul times , and superior to the declining tendencies of his Dice and of his creed .
But , un'ike any of tho other heroes of Mahommed > n hislory , he waa resolute without t ' anati-( lisra ; : and he combined to a remarkable degree the habitual exercise of arbitrary and absolute power with a truo respect for more oivrlistd couutri-s and a p < -acvinal tolerauce of oiher forms of religion . If we attempted to sum up this character in une word , it would be in that of " self possession . " The most cruel and violent attacK * ot his lite , i-uch as the destruction of ti o Mamelukes , were pei formed with a cooluess and design quite dihtinct from tho ordinary excosnes of Oriental ven-£ Ot ! tiCv \ The aJmiuistrutiou of Egypt was conducted with iho same stern iud . ff . rence to all but the 6 tia « 1 y -trowih of that power wuic the Patiha
was labouring ; to cstabJiuh . During tho eveiiJS of 1840 , when a loss prudent or a more timorous man might have compromised his ex'sienoj by an act eiiher of defiance or > of submisbion , he kept his temper , and therefore he kept his pa ^ halik . To his iniUH rial honour , he forwarded the British mails to luiha whilst our flout was attacking Syria , and tnt naciim AUxaudria ; aud ou no subsequent occa&ion has he betrayu . the smallest resentment for conduot , which , ou the part of certain high servants of the crown of England , was harsh , impolitic , and unjust . Indued , we may here allude with peculiar batisfaetiozi to tho very marked rocopMon given by the Pacha to iho pr < . a * iu Goveruor-Goueral of India when he passed throughc Egypc a tew weeks aao ;
aud wo trus : that the treaty which was rapidly negotjated at that interview will aff . rd a peruiauent and ufieciual proteotion to our overland communications with India . Lastly , as if even dtatii itfelf was not to find him unprepared , or as one who is anxious to witness at least the commencement of his own posterity , the old' man retires from the shores ot the Nile , which he has one more opened to life and to a second greatness , and betakes himself in mediation , if nut in devotion , to tho consecrated City o $ tho Prophet . It is , however , premature to assume that his career is already closed . His life is
probably even now better than that of Ibrahim : and in the vicissitudes which are now crowded ou the surviving members ot the Ottoman empire , it is impossible to foresee any secure repose but in the grave . Some uncertainty , iudeod , stiii hangs about the aotustl fuifiiment of this great and sudden determination . Wuhiu a few wetks , and by the last aocounts from Egvpi , the Pacha waa in ail his Ubtial vigour of body and mmd— full of projects and active designs which seem calculated raihur to prolong the duration of his life and power , than to iorestal iho closo of them ; and at no time vvis the abiupt ceesationofhid iuttrest in public affaire more un :
oreseen . The personal remarks arising out of this singular cvont arc not unconnected wiih other and more general considerations . It is impossiblofor auy one who takes an enlarged view of the condition of the countries contiguous to Europe , wbtther in tho south or in tho cast , not to perceive tho same univei > alsymptoms of decrepitude , Wi-. trover the Mudsulman rule and Mahommouan . institutions still maintaiu their ground . From Persia , to Morocco , and t . roughout the ; whole expanse of the Turkish dominions , the same results obtrude themselves on our notice : the causes aro probably diffor ^ ut—sometimes foroign aggression , a ^ in Algeria , oc toreign intrigue , a « at Constaut . naple— more frepuuntly a bud internal
policy , and a corrupt and depraved class ot public servants , must unfit to be the organs of absolute power ; but the re 6 ul ' . s are ttw « ame . Every part of these Mahometan ouuntrius ib more or k ,.-s m .-secure ; none of th-. m are in a . condition to defend their mdeppndenw ? , if it were BtrioUv-ly attacked ; and since they owe their present political fxisteiic ^ - to the projection of forbearanco of ihe ChriMtiau powert ; , they are liule more than tennitlt at the will of those whom they siih pur ^ ecute and condemn . Tne iueviublo rorjsequ nee in , that rights bo ill-defended are peculiarity liable to encroachment ; aud that tho resistance to Mich encroach went proceeds , not to the power dir > c ; ly affuottd by it , but troin the inciieci cbii sequences it might produce on the European t-tnies .
The Gov ernment of Mehemot Ali has furnished a solitary instance in cur time oi' a Mahometan state sufficiently enlightened-as to its true positiou , and invested wi-h a sufficient control over its own re-ourcep , to will what it thought expedient , and to acoonapiiAfd what it willed . The uao oi absolute power iu the hands of the P-tiha has doubtless created anfw the land of Egypt , and reator fi the valley of the Nile to t ' to importance which it j istly held in the an icnt world ; but he leav s behind him no tradition oi' his system of Govurnmvut ; that system has called in'o rxistcnne no other mm capable ot' fultilling his designs ; and as far as the
descendants of his owr house are concerned , it imy bo apprehended that they will relapse into all tha vices of that fatal syptnra of mi ' s £ overaraent which he either entirely shook off , or adapted to tho obj ots of a wiser administration . The retiremfne of the Pasha of Lgypt cainiot but be regarded as an evriit of the more iuipormnco , binco it wiil ahow wha * . expectations or apprehensions we may entertain of tho late of that cuuntry unatT his successor ; and the permanent establishment of the overland route to India haw rourtortd this subject one ot the greate ^ t interest iO j the British possessions both in Europs aud in Asia ,.
