ill . M « nJra . T 1 then replied , deli-raring a -very lengthy sptech , for wh'ch tre cannot possibly find room . We vteh ve ebuld ferlta admissions and attempted white washing of the employers , really confirmed all that 2 b . Robert ! and the vttsenei had advanced . He concluded a » follow *;— - " The question essentially eomea simply to this , whether the m&stea or men ate to hare supreme authority —which it to ' hare the controlling power ? The men certainly cannot expect to dicta * : to their employ en ; and the owners wonld be trilling to remedy all re » l abnsei if the men wonld rebuilt to acknowledge that tbfey were wrong . < Hooting *) If they will go to work we will immediately nr zi any depu » " 4 ion , and hear any complaint the men hate to make , and if they
are reasonable and proper we will nndonbt dly . ooiuede to them . We Trill do everything-we can to rotor * a good feeling between the masters and the men if the men will only go to work , bat we cannot t 3 expec * 4 f > « nocumfe to the men . But , gentlemen , I go farther , and Will prove that the Thornley Coal Company had eTery desire to conciliate tho » difference and disputes between titemaelve * and the men , and Ir- instructed fiat if any attempt had been made yesterday morning to negotiate with a . Tiew to settle the dispute , to make offers which so reasonable "i * " could h * Y # erer refused . Bat oo bbco attempt was ever made—so nggeation waa held out by Mr . Roberts , and we were not in a situation so make it The arrangement that I wes prepared to mate was this . Here Mr . M . reai the following instructions from the Tbcrnley Coal Company -. " —
"Before going Into court , if jxwihle , but if not , X j the Conrt , Mr . Marshall should stats that the Company haTe nat pressed this conviction either with the "View to punish the three men , who are oo worse than the Test , or with an intention to hold any man t » as agreement which may be considered unfair or harah ( bat which they cannot admit to be either ) , iheir object has been solely with a Tiew to assert the laws of ibe country , which they think haTe fcsen violated . Ana , with this Tiew , they bare propo . I that on the men xetnrniag to their work , the Company will consent to
alter the mode of levying fin . " : for bid-out coals to the mode practised at any ether eollerl ¦> which may be working similar seams in the d ' strlct , or they will leave to reference in the usual way the mode of levying them , with this further provision that , if either the Company or the men object to the mode s » fixed , it shall be set i -ids , and the men freed from their agreement on quitting their hoaxes in fonriaea days , and deliTeriog up their work tools belonging to the Company : the condition precedent to all this that they f wmwia Omiy "WQXi . **
—That proposition we are still prepared to abide by —ia voice , " we will go out of onr houses , and be free men "; . With these observation * I shall leave the case fuHy in your hands ; and it is for you to say whether these men have acted in accordant * s witk the law , or they have not The Bench then retired , and , after being absent about twenty minutes , returned into court Addressing the masters , the Chairman r ~ ked whether they wonld still abide by the offer . Mi . Marshall replied that they would , provided the men would first concede that they were guilty , by returning to their work . The magistrates then looked at Mr . Roberts , who , after a pause of about two minutes , ad < lrp c i * fd % hrtm thus ; "If I understand this offer Tightly , the masters admit by it X&oX the points in dispute are points which ought to be decided fey arbitration ; but they say that before they do what they thus admit they ought to do—and what
therefore they ought to have done long ago , my clients are first to -return to work ; and this return to work is put forward emphatically sad avowedly as admission of guilt "Tin too late ia life for me to be a party to a lie . I feel the deep , nay , the awful responsibility Which rests upon me , [ Here , amid the breathless silence of the Court , Mr . B . consulted for a few meznecta with the three men under tri&l , and said , in a tabdned tone , Tis as I expected—virtue is always courageous—firm to the last Mr . Roberts then turned to the Beach , and * continued ] "I have counselled with the three whom I am more immediately defending ! they refuse to acknowledge themselves guilty when they know themselves innocent . On their behalf—on the part of the thsnsand honest hearts in that gallery—I refuse ike ttfer . They can bear as they have borne toil and suffering—but through me they refuse to concur that filer are guilty .
Here the whole gallery broke out into one loud and long-continued shout of approbation . Then the sentence—one can hardly write the beastly ttiizg—six weeks imprisonment and hard labour . Bat the end is not jet coma !

This -the men very properly refused . Special warrants were issued by the magistrates for the apprehension " of seven of the
men , six of whom were taken ont of their beds , but were afterwards liberated ou bail . The-men surrendered themselves on Wednesday , tie lOlh IubL , bat the employers did not appear . Again , on Saturday the 17 th , when the case wasadjourned to Tuesday the 19 th ,: when it appeared that Mr , Stepbecson failed to prove sbai the men onght to give the emplojerB notice .

All Cohmcmcations and correspondence intended for David Ross , ( late of Manchester ) , must for the future be addressed to him at his residence , the Washington Coffee House , and Temperance Hotel , Ho , 112 , Kirkg&te , opposite Yioar Croft , Lee Bradford Coal Mihbus—We are sorry that it waa impossible to give their letter this week , we will try and find room for it in our next . National Victim Fond Committee—Their address and balance sheet next week . F . W . Simeon , Bristol . —Thanks for his generous defence of Mr . O'Connor . We have not room for his letter to the Editor af the Bristol Mercury , but we give the Editor ' s notice of it ; he
has certainly acted more honourably than the gentlemen of the press-gang usually do ; witness their fabrication of tbe paragiaph , the falsehood of which Mr . Simeon has exposed . Here is the notice from the Bristol Mercury : — Fibst of Aybtl Predictiohs !— A paragraph has been going tbe rounds of the press ( and which we copied in our last ) , to the effect that Mr . O'Connor had said that either Repeal must be carried , or Mr . O'ConneH's head belaid upon tbe blook by the 1 st of April next 1 It has been pointed out to vb , however , that it was O'Connell himself , and not O'Connor , who used the 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
head on a block if , at tbe end of that time , yon 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 Air . O'Connell being a head shorter . Should people be so simple as to take the trouble of reminding the member for Dublin that his bead is forfeited , his answer will probably be— Don't you wish you may get it ? " Mr . O'Gonnell is a facetious gentleman , and we presume that on tbe 1 st of April be will feel much more disposed to favour his admirers with "The Groves of Blarney , " than to "Repeal the Union * ' between body and soul , by giving them " his head upon a block . " Correspondents not answered this week will be answered in onr next .

MORE BLOOD-WHEN WILL THE DAY OF RETRIBUTION COME ! Ws request the attention of our readere to an eloquently pathetic letter from the pen of Richard Marsden , in our 6 th page , detailing the murders committed by the hlotertt mks in the name of xa"W . TbiB week we have received the following letter from another tme Chartist commenting upon another prison murder committed it that abominable 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 so , their case is one demanding the immediate and hearty sympathy of thedemocratio party . We had intended to have commented at some length npon 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 THB EDITOR OT THE NORTHERN STAB . Deab Sib ., —I copy the following from the Sun newspaper of last Saturday evening : — " An inquest was held on the 15 th inst ., in the Penitenttary , on the body of William Garrat , aged 51 , a Chartist , who was convicted at the Stafford Special Commission , of riot , 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 , 1 think it nothing bat right that they should be put in possession of the facts 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 ) I have known Mr . Garrat a number of years : he was a native of Derbyshire , but latterly resided at Stokeupon-Trent ; by trade a bricklayer , and the following character of him I have received from Mb employer , who says that Garrat was a good workman , and a steady , honest , and upright man . " I can with confidence say thai he was area ! democrat , and of a mild and amiable disposition . It is true he was convicted and sentenced as stated above ; bat npon what evidence ! Why , 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 1542 . On the 16 th of August , 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 Borslem , one of the Pottery towns , to see the . Leek men come in , he having a walking stick in one h&nd t vnd hh friend hold of the other ; Garrat being very shon-sigbted , and very hard of hearing . When they arrived at tbe turn of the road in Borslem , they found themselves surrounded by the Leek men , who were running away , the dragoons following and firing at them , when a bullet from a carbine , discharged bv a drazoon . entered the back of poor
Garrat , just below the left Bhoulder blade , passed through . Mb body , and came out just above the left breast . His friend having hold of hi « hand , all the while , solemnly declares that no "half brick" was thrown by Garni , who fell , and the poor fellow , in \ - t « » WJB conveyed to the North Staffordshire Infirmary . Ax j . J * ** . ™» M have naturally supposed , that even if Garrat did throw the " half-brick ? ' having a ballet passed through Mb body would have been sufficient punishment . But no , in this class-ridden country a bullet passed throngh a man ' s body is a mere trifle , if the man is opposed to the powers that be . A more lingering , a more dreadful death is [ neoessary , as was the case with poor Garrat , for he

was watched by a harpy of the law , who on Garrat * fl partial restoration to health , had him before the Magistrates , who , as a matter qf course , committed the still bleeding victim to the Stafford County Gaol , for trial . I saw him in the dock at his trial , with his arm in a sling , and heard his sentence . Little did I then think that I should never see him again , for I knew his heart was in the right place , and besides he was a big powerful man . O , ihe cursed sytlemt . .
I now conolude , being convinced that olasa legis lation , like the Vampire , will be satisfied with nothing less than the death of its victim . Hoping you will be pleaded to find room for this letter in next Saturday ' s Star I remain , dear Sir , Yours truly , In tbe holy cause of Chartism , G . B . Mabt .

Warren—I object to him upon what I conceive to be very good grounds ; but if I am required to give my reasons here , I will hold my tongue ; because 1 don't want to set the people apainst me-r-Uoud laughter and great olatnour ) . > - Mr . O'Driscoll ( to applicant)—How do you support— ( Great clamour ou the bench ) . Mr . Warren—Well , . then , I will state my
objection—( here the speaker raised his voice to a towering pitch , and struok the benoh with his clenched fist ) . It is because he is a Repealer—( laughter and confusion)—and a Repeal Warden—( great clamour ) and because he collected tbe Repeal Kent for O'Connell—( great clamour all through the court ) . Here the Stipendiary asked the Sub-Inspector whether he knew anything of the man's oharaoter j and the latter , in reply , stated him to be a sober and well-behaved man ; upon which Mr . Warren
continued" Oh , I know the man myself to be a porson of most excellent character : I have no objeotion to him but the one I state . " This objeotion of Mr . Warren's called up Mr . M . O'Leary—As a magistrate of this oonnty , and sitting on this bench , I must protest against this conrse—( Great clamour ) . I say it is a perf ctly unconstitutional course to adopt towards any man—( Renewed olamonr—coughing , taking , and scraping of feet—on the bench ) . I say that you have no right whatever to put such questions , and they are by no means a test by which to judge of a man's fitnesB or unfitness to keep arms—( Uproar on the bench ) . This gentleman was supported by another magistrate , Mr . Jones , who rose to address the meeting , when the following exhibition took . plaoe : —
Mr . Jones—I say that every man in the community has an undoubted right to express his political opinions in a fair and legitimate manner—( Cries of " Question , " "Nojspeechos , " and great clamour on the bench ) . I say further , that every man should be presumed innocent until he is found guilty—( Renewed interruptions and cries of" Question , " &c . ) But it is not juBt to visit any man with an indirect punishment for a presumed offence —( clamour ) . When this Act was passing through the Legislature , it was grounded npon —( load cries of " Question , question , " and " We want no speeches" ) . 1 h&ve an undoubted right as a magistrate sitting here to Bpaak my sentiments , and I contend for it that I am keeping to the question—( riotous clamour amongst tbe magistrates ') .
Mr . Nettles ( amidst a din of the most riotous uproar)—I move that we adjourn—( " Hear , hear , " from the ether magistrates , mingled with crieB of" No , no , " and " Hear Mr . Jones" ) . Mr . Jones appealed to the Chairman , who decided that he was in order , and had a right to Bpeak . He again essayed to do so ; but was again vociferously interrupted . W . G . Browne—O , we want no speechinghere , we haven't time to listen to them . Mr . Nettles—Take the vot « s , Mr . Chairman , and announce the decision—( cries of " Poll , poll , " and awful uproar ) . The Barrister—You are perfectly in order , Mr . J ones— ( u proar ) . Mr . Nettles ( againinterrupting Mr . Jones ) . —Take the Totes , take the votes . The Barrister—Every magistrate has a right to state his opinions , and to be heard . —( clamour ) .
Mr . Jones again essayed to speak amidst deafening , intermittent clamour . Mr . Warren rose a second time , declaring with mueh fervour , that this man ' s ( Callauan ' s ) gun should be taken from him , when the commission of tbe peace was takes from noblemen una gentlemen for attending peaceable meetings . The report states that the speaker became much excited , his face scarlet , and his language and gesticulation most vehement . After some farther noise and gesticulation , the application was rejected , only three magistrates having voted for it . The next case was disposed of with less tumult and equal reason . The claimant having been sworn , was interrogated by
Captain O'Driscoll—Are you a Repealer 1 Have you taken any active part in the movement I Tbe claimant , by the advice of hia agent , remaining silent-Mr . O'Leary—I move that he be admitted . Mr . R . Warren—I move that he be rejected . Mr . Hedges—I second the amendment . Claim rejected . We pass over a number of equally disgraceful scenes , for which we cannot find room , and conclude our extract with the following : — John M ' AuIiffe , Mill-street . Captain Wallis—I object here . Are you a Repeal Warden ! ; Claimant—I am . Mr . R . Warren—Reject him . Mr . M . O'Leary—He has an excellent character . Claimant—Hear my character before you reject
me . Mr . R . Warren—Others were rejected on the same grounds , and we cannot admit yon . Captain Wallis—I have no objection to bis character further than what I have Btated . Mr . R . Warren—We cannot admit him . The certificate was refused . The claims that were admitted , were bo after s very strong opposition , not to the characters of the applicants , bat to their political opinions !
REPEAL ASSOCIATION , The usual weekly meeting was held on Monday , in the Conciliation Hall . The meeting was but thinly attended . A long letter from Mr . O'Connell was read by the secretary , and speeches were delivered by Dr . Nagle , ( chairman ) Sir Talcntine Blake , Messrs . John O'Connell , O * Niel Daunt , Tom Steele , and others . The rent for the week amounted to £ 548 14 s . 2 d .
THB STATE TRIALS . The friends of the traversers are circulating a report that a large building or barrack , as they say , in the neighbourhood of Dublin , has been hired for the purpose : of affording temporary accommodation to upwards of 400 witnesses who are to be scraped together from all parts of tbe country to sustain the evidence for the defence .
THE LANDLOBD AND TENANT COMMISSION . In addition to several assistant-barristers , besides those already enumerated , some of the professional land agents have been examined this week before the Commissioners . Horbible Outrage and Murdkb . —A murder of a most shocking character , we lament to Bay , has taken place within our county . A young woman named M'Donagh , servant girl in a family named Bell , in Lowtherstown , was missing from Friday night last , the fair of that town , till Sunday morning ,
when her body was found in a field ditch near the end of the town . It is certain she was first violated , and her body presents marks of savage brutality . Suspicion almost instantly led to a man in the locality , who was forthwith arrested , and , we believe , a second since . The inquest commenced on Sunday before Mr . Trotter , one of the county coroners , and has not yet terminated . Other persons are supposed to be implicated , and we understand there ib much excitement in the place . The poor girl deceased is reported to have bore an unexceptionable oharaoter . —Erne Packet .

THE POLICE FORCE AND THE LEEDS MERCURY . ' TO THB EDITOB OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Sis , —A paragraph having appaared in the columns Of the Leeds Mercury ot Saturday last , respecting the proposed reduction in the police force , which I have had the honour of submitting to the notice of the Watch Committee , and rs such paragraph has either been written or diotated by iome exc : dingly ill-informed perton , or by gome ^ ne who has wilfully mis-stated facts for the purpose of misleading the Burge 3 ses , I think it my duty to notice it . It ia there stated that I prone : e to discharge the three dett ative officers , Child , Hartley , and Stubbs ;
but I have never propxed anything of the kind , for I have always considered both Hartley and Stubbs to be efficient officers . Neither have I proposed to discharge Inspectors Hainsworth and Hep worth , as is there stated . In short , the whole paragraph is a tissue of lake statements and inueudoes , calculated to prejudice the public against my proposition . The proposed reduction may have one fault ; it may not go far enough : that it is moderate no one can deny , and it cannot meet with opposition from any class beside ? old women aad timid nervous gentlemen with women ' s fears . I am Sir , your obdt . servant , Thos . White . Wingbam-street , December 22 nd , 1843 .

Leeds Woollen Mabk Ears . —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 stooks 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 muoh business done ; nor are the warehousemen quite bo busy as they were a few week ? ago . Bradford Market , Thcrsdat .- —Wool . —There is a sort of sluggishness in this part of the trade , for the Staplers state they cannot afford to sell their stocks at lesa rates than they have been realising , for there is no giving way amone the country dealers
to enable them to meet the buyers here . Yarn—There is a steady demand for Yarns , but as it is near Christmas , those engaged in the home trade appear disposed t « work their stock closely up , ready for stock taking ; and as the shippera cannot now send out to distant jnarkets , a little slackness may be looked for ; but we do not expect any reduct on in prices . —Piece . —There ^ s a fair demand for Orlaans and Merinos ; other goods of a Fancy nature not so brisk . There can be no doubt that the very low price of goods , when compared with Wool , induces the Merchants to operate more freely , seeing that the manufacturers are unwilling to lay up stock , and have reduced their production .
Richmond Cobn Market , Saturday , Dec . 16 th . —We only had a thin supply of Grain in our Market to-day . Wheat sold from to . 6 d . io 8 s . ; Oats 23 . 3 d . to 3 s . 2 d . ; Barley 4 s . to 43 . 3 d . ; Beani 4 s 9 d . to 5 s . per bushel .

LATEST FROM SPAIN . The mess thickens ; every post brings intelligence shewing that a crisis , which is nearly sure to result in a Republican revolution , is near at hand . Don Carlos is preparing , for another desperate move : the Republicans , on the other hand , are not idle , It is the universal belief at Paris , that the child Isabella will , as Sovereign of Spain , never attain her legal majority . Indeed , some persons expect that she will have ceased to reign long before that period ( October 10 , 1844 . ) The Times of Thursday has a letter from its Paria correspondent , in which the writer , after reviewing the present state of Spanish affairs , concludes with
the following : — " The sum of all this if—the men at present in power in Madrid cannot carry on the Go * vernment-with the actual Cortes , and will attempt other measures ( a dissolution or an absolute govern ment ) that will produce a new conflict , in which Narva- a will attempt to make himself dictator ; Don Carlos will step in with or without the concurrence of some of the Republicans ; the Queen will be set aside by both ; and after a series of struggles aud the spilling of oceans of blood , the Republicans hope to establish their form of government on the wreck of the Spanish monarchy . : Such is the picture I am advised to present to you to-day of Spain and Spanish politics . "
Barcelona . —Sroret societies are being formed by the disaffected , and revolt is almost hourly anticipated . Saragossa . —There were some disturbances here on the 12 ih . Another insurrection is apprehended . The paople in all parts of Spain ace said to be in a state of great excitement in consequence of the recent , events at Madrid , and a general outbreak seems inevitable . Letters from Madrid of the 13 th state that the " Olozaga debate" atill " dragged its slow length along . " An attempt had been made to assassinate Olozaga , who was compelled to aok pr « sent safety in concealment . PitUSSIA . —There were some disturbances at Lucfeen on the 11 th ; the people were fired on by the soldiers , and a number wounded .
HUNGARY is in a very unsettled state ; a meeting of electors had been dispersed by the Government troops : a number of lives were lost .
