SIN-.-1 observed in per paper • few days since. some resolutions of the Masters of the Coal and Iron stone-Mitres in Staffordshire, relative to the dispute that *QM exists between them and their men respect iag wages, and from those resolutioss it certainly ap peared to me that the circumstances of the lintel con si;leied..*the offer of the Mesten was liberal. and the men had no judt cause of complaint. As the subject was•trted to last night by Mr. Peel, in the House of (*Wont, who corroborated the statement of the Masters before 'Boded to, I will re trest you to insert the following Addresa, that is print ed and circulated by the men for their justification.— This Adtfress was given in. by a friend, who was travelling in that district a few days since. Seeing a body of men assembled together, he joined them to learn their complaints, when this Address was placed iu his hands by one of the men to explain their griev ance. He says they appeared peaceable and quiet, bet its the deepest state of distress and wretchedness. 1 will only observe, that the drink which they call luer.• they give the men, is so bad that the men will throw it down the channels in the mines, and request the tame quantity of spring water; and as it regards foil, whiels has been asserted the men receive gra tuitously, it does not apply to the Miners in the Iron into. May Id, 1821 T. F. AN I:UMBLS ADDRe.S PROM TOR COAL AND IRONSTONE MINERS OP RILIITON, AND THE-RILIGIIDOURLIOOD. " To the worths , and honourable Magistrates that at tended at a Meeting of the Coal and Iron Masters, at the King's Arms inn. Bilston, Aril 23, 1822. It appears. according to the.publications that an in circulation, that your Meeting was respectably at tended by a part of the Coal and Iron Masters, who lirve declared that the men ere rewiring from Two Sl.illiags and Sixpence to Three Shillings per day, with the advantage of three pints of pit drink. But instead of three pints, a many of us receive but one pint, and that worth no more than One huff-penny. And allowing we have Two Shillings anti Sixpence per day in the Ironstone Mines, as has been suggest. ed, anti there should be Five Days per Week done (but on an average there is not above Four Days per Week) which will amount to Ten Shillings; and out of that, suppose we deduct One Shilling to buy Coal, and Three pence schieh the Masters stop for Clitio. that will bring it to Eight Shillings and Nine-pence: then in most places we are obliged to pay One Shil ling fur Ale when we receive it. Then in the next place there is about Tiro Shillings and ThreeTeneefor IZeut, which will bring it to Six Shillings, the nett money for a family to subsist on. " Now, Sirs, we humbly wish that you would in vestigate these things minutely; considering the sump dangers we arc exposed to, the hardness of our la bour, and the small own that we receive for it, you ;oust be led to think that we must be almost in a state tistarrottius! !

We also understand that no other party whatever bas offered to bid. PROCEEDINGS IN PARLIAMENT. Is the Loans nothing at all interesting ; and we May here observe, that we have no recollection of any Session of Partialness during which there was so little of discussion in this tsetse. The reasons are obvious elpegb ; bat as wen to leave them un stated. In the Comatose wen Mr. litstsmte's motion for leave to !sting in a Bill to amend the laws relating• to the Licensing of Prblie Houses. and Mr. Huma's mo tion relative to the lonian Isles. The precise objects of the Bill we do sot yet kaow; but, that it content. plates an alteration is quite enough for us ; seeing that we are convinced, that there can, as to this af fair, be no change for the worse. We think, that one clear benefit would be, to prevent Parsons from 'med dling with the matter, in any way whatever. Their interference leads to endless feuds in country parishes ;1 and, we will venture to say, has done greater injury to the Church than all the ravings of all the metho dist parsons. Why should the clergy dabble in such matters? And is it possible that such dabbling should not tend to sink their calling in the eyes of the people ? Mr. Huma's motion was:—" That as humble Ad " dress be p ed to his Majesty, that be would Ise " graciously pleased to direst an Inquiry into the state " of the Government of the lonian Islands ; the causes " of the general disaffection. and of the numerous ar " rests and banishments which have takes place these; " and for what reason the inhabitants were disarmed, " and martial law proclaimed." The motion was lost, there being 67 for it, and 152 against it. The facts alledged by Mr. Huns are horrible; but, by the time Al Mr. %rumor had closed his speech, there were eo many doubts raised, that the bearers must have become bewildered. The truth is, that if the Parliament resolve to keep possession of the territories in question, it must also resolve to support the system there pursued. It is like the question of the Slave Trade, which is, in fact, not a question of slavery, or no slarerp; but a question of sada...cob:ties, or no sugor.coloxies. The lnnisn Isles serve as the means of giving part of the taxes away in places awl allow ances. The Parliament knows this very well: no body better. And, it has the power to cut oir this mode of applying part of the rests and of the fruit of labour, when it chooses. As a large part of the charge is now falling upon rents, we cannot say, that (the Parliament being unreformed) we have any very great objections to the charge.—But, besides these consider ations, mach attention cannot be expected to matters of this sort. while we are agitated, as we are, at home. The fire being in our own house, we have no time to think much about that which is consuming oar neighbours. It is such propositions as thews of Mr. IVrvita. and Mr. WESTIERN that awaken attention and put the feelings into a stir. " Hest Own " a drug Doctor, to scare thtse fenditolders heeee"? say the landlords* to Mr. Hoses, es Macbeth said to his professional countrymaa about the English army. " !last thou a drug to get us nuts.' Thy physic to ; we'll nose of it." And, it an'oe that Mr. is, with Mr. It,. CaliDO, for " national faith", and, of course, ags.ust rents. The lassilords mire much le.s about all ti.e people in the lonia. Islands than they do about on.. The ielti on at - Norwich, vehicle took such a large part of the tit bra away to enable the farmer to pay rent, was of more consequence is their eyes the. the fate of all the colonies lo the world. The sight before last, Mr. Peet. made a monk, us the authority of Mr. LITTLETON, respeetieg the nese and easy circumstances of the "lobotteers" io Staffordshire. It came out, however, that these "la bourers" were misters! In soother part of out pa per of today will lee found (taken from the . l lordig; Chroaicle) a statement of these poor, wretched ea.' tures themselves. We despi.e their mot about pray ing to " God to direct" the magistrates, sad all the other of that sort of atufZaised in their address; and, if we could forget 9 Nation of their wives gni children we should say. that, as a pusishlauel.,. M. east, they merit the treatmeet they eomplais Bat. was not Mr. Pscc deceived ? Did he not pro dice very bad evidesee of the good !rests of his Gin The account (also in another part of oar paps:) eels. tire to the iron-work labourers in MulaniattfAshire pre sents no proof of that "prosperity of maasfactares",, about which so much has been said. Sir lour itN CLAIR says the manufacturers are in a state ri dselise and ride in SeotMsd. And is ft pr ape ity at Manchester? The Cavalry (kedgeree of the 15th of August, know better. But, at any rate, the labourers posis in England, generally speaking, are better off t►an they were some years ago. and particularly the la. boaters in agriculture. There is getting to be less d;9ereuee between farmer and labourer than there was ; and God forbid that we should again see a sys tem of paper-money, that weald again clone the 'ahoy er's mont► against meat. Mr. WitTISIVell proposition would...if adopted, prosier* 'Mastics sad ernelty WAL out a parallel. It would cause the robbery of sir. rants, the robbery sad ruin of tradesmen, and espe cially the most daring robbery of all those who ►ave been inveigled to pot tbeir money in &visage flasks. A A robbery of all who bare obtained annuities sista 1814. In short, a mease►, of such glaring iniquity was before thought of; and, we are very sure, that, when Mr. WLSTIIIN shall see the conseqoeocet, to which it most inevitably Ind, he will start back from it with alright. We agree with Lord Lass• nowxs, that no such thing ought to be done, as boa; as there exists • "possibility" of the nation's meet ing its " most solemn engagements." Aod, that pos sibility sever can cease to exist with only the present taxes; for, though it is, doubtless, desirable, if it coo , he dose without iniary to the ether classes, that seat and tithe *head be yielded. yet. there is no mu that will pretend, that these are absolutely oteteuteryto the existence of a n mina; much less will say man pretend, that they ought not to cease, rather than that all the classes except landlords and parsons should be totally destroyed. We are aware, we will concede to Mr. WISTRRN, that the real and tithe must be taken away, unless Pat" Bill be repealed, or the interest of the 'Debt reduced ; but, it is possible to pay to the full, is taking these away; and we agree with Lord Lair- Dowse, that nothing but real "impossibility" to pay ought to prevent the payment. Were there a reform of the Parliament indeed the case would be different; for then, es ery man in the community would have an opportunity of giving his assent to any arrangement that insight be pier posed; and, it is most likely, that mutual sacrifices would produce aa amicable and just eettlemeat of things. lint, as such reform appears not to be thought of by the landlord', we are for the law taking its coars►, and for holding the landlords to their bowl. Mr. WISTILAN did not, when at the Essex Meeting, appear to understand our mewling . ; be will, perhaps, understand us better now. We have always held the same language upon the subject : reform sad rani tion ; no reform no reduction. And, in no case %slat ever a repeal of Pest.'s Bill ; became that would be not only robbery; but robbery with the basest hypo • and of the classes least able to bear loss. Paris papers to the 13th inst. represent the Electiees for the Departments to be proceeding rapidly, and as far as the returns have been completed, it is evident that if the Liberals bare not gained, at least they hare out lust ground. There was on the 10th agent " Diplomatic Reunion" at the house of onr Ata'ras'a• dor, where, it is said, the Ministers of many foreign powers attended. The ihket of this meeting is sot explained, but from the manner in which the article is worded, it would appear that political business and not pleasure was the cause of its taking place. Ac' counts from Vienna and even Constantinople, are J indecisive as ever. Both the Turks and the Uteri. , continue to claim the victory in the late naval r..- gagement, but frJm the retreat, or rather flight the former, no doubt can be entertained of the advan tage having ►emaioed with the latter.

In oar last we stated the safe arrival of the greater part of a convoy of coal-waggons, under the protection of the Scots Greys and Yeuraery, at the place of its destination, co Tborsday , week : but we are song to he now compelled to add, that notwithstanding Ike somber of rioters mended, and some very severely, others of them during the night destroyed or disabled about 20 waggons, which (deserted by the hslliers Is the course of the day) had bees left near the Mew monthshire Canal Company's reservoir at Lanhilleth; four of these, with their contests, were rolled over the precipice, and dashed into the river below; oaken were sank in the reservoir, and the wheels of Aid fourteen more broke. to pieces on the road. :MO content, however, with these depredations, the he* (mete than two tow in each wagger) were set on fire. ad, with every thing combustible about the waggon, totally consumed, some of the great muses of fire con tinuing to bare till Monday morning. Whilst • this was effecting in the valley above Crwalia, another body of rioters, in the night of So- day, or early on Monday awning, attacked sod d.l mord, in several places above the IS mile stone, surly half a mile of the Sirhowey tram-read, she eted in the parallel valley leading up to Tredegar Iron-works; not only were the iron-plates ripped up and carried away, bet the atone blocks raised and rolled down into the river ; and in order to prevent a farther supply being sent up, this One public work, from which the country (and no portion fit more Asa tie workmen thenssalvee) have derived aneb great advantages, was thes feloniously destroyed. Great *umbers of the workpeople have, however, since been ;employed upon the road, and we ars happy to learn that it is, by great suedes, already restored to its 'former state of usefulness and repair.

BAT. [FROM THE ORIGETON CHRONICLE.] " 'Tie better to prevent than cure diseases ;"—so thought a worthy parish-officer is a well-known vii. lege not many miles from Lewes. It appears that a wan, his wife, sad several children, who are now re siding In the parish, have excited the fears of the men in power, lest, by some mischanee or other, the family should become dependant on the parish. The man it seems is not a parishioner of the place where be resides, but as he has lived there for more Mau twenty years, without having ever wade applies ., Lion to the parish for relief, be considered Miura entitled to the liberty of dwelling unmolested is a place which had become dear to him on many accoeots. But he might become burthensome ; and to prevent this, the prudent man in authority resolved to drivel him from his quarters by batik or by crook. The beet means of effecting this seemed, to the faithful trustee of the parish interest, to be, to induce the man to ac cept from him a shilling, as preparatory to his' " swearing to his parish." The trap scrupled to re ceive money from time officer, who informed him that he meat take it, as the law was now altered,' and ail must depart to the parish to which they belonged. Thus was the poor man inveigled into receiving what may be considered parish relief, contrary to his will, and thus was a handle given to the man " dressed in a little brief authority" to proceed in hie act of expelling this poor yet worthy family from a place hallowed by a twenty years' residence, and endeared to them by ties of the tend kind. They have not yet been carted to their parish ; bat they are in daily expectation of a summons from the great ones to quit their station, and to seek fur a new home, ECCLESIASTICAL PUNISHMKSIT.— Sunday last the church-yard and the streets leading to Bethnal-green church were crowded by thousands of spectators to wit ness the ceremony of a young woman, named Sarah Green, doing penance, by order of the Surrogate of the Ecclesiastical Court, by standing in a white sheet in the chancel of the church, for railing her sister-in•law, Mrs Ann Johnson, wife of Mr. W. Johnson, of the above pa rish, •• W—e." However, the ceremony of standing in the sheet was dispensed with, to the disappointment of the multitude; but the female, who was a very fine young woman, attired in a white dress, repeated the fol lowing recantation in the vestry, in the presence of the rector, churchwardens, the person calumniated, and five or six of ker relations:—•• 1 Sarah Green, wife of J. Green, bare uttered and spo ken several scandalous and opprobrious words, against Ant Johnson, wife of Wm.
