THit TYNE Kh.ELMEN.

The return of the kerlmen to their employment
mow appears on event of su much uncertainty, that
it has erased to be • matter of calculation. As
long. iodeed, as they remain at large. and are at
liberty to pursue other evocations more lucrative,
nothing seems more improbable than that they
should voluntarily come to fulfil their engagements
with the coal *worm By their refractory conduct
they have rut ceeded in potting • stop to the entire
trade of the collieries above bridge; but if they in-
tended to ensithilate for a time the whole coal-trisde
of the port, they could not have adopted a plan
less eScoomis. It miry appear somewhat enema.
I to affirm that the very contrary effect has
been produred; that the sale of coals, instead of
firing limited, has been greatly increased; but this
fact is Crifrobfe of derasonstratinii. The coals ship.
;red coastwise from this port by all the collieries in
September, the month before the stoppage of the
keelmen, exceeds 65,200 thaldrous, and in Oc-
tober. the very month after they had deserted their
employment, the quantity of coals shipped by the
collieries below bridge alone, i. ',Wird. Of 59,000
chuldrons ! This is • singular feet. and at once
evinces the futility of the keelmen's attempt to in-
jure the colieries below bridge, who are the parties
tout have given them so much umbrage by the use
of spouts. The spouts were never since their erre-
tam of eo much importance to these coal-owners as
they are at the present moment. Slops of twenty
keels have been brought tip to the staid's, end
loaded with the greatest facility, by the assostroce
of eteamshoste, which would never have been at-
tempted under different circumstances. Tint inte-
rests of the coal-owuera above and below bridge are
hence manifestly at variance. Lidera, they appear
so entirely opposite, that some chsuge in their mode
of carrying on the curl-tr.s.le peeing indispensable.
The coal-owners :there bridge can du mulling with-
out the keelrrieri; those below are now the greatest
gainers in their absence. Some collieries that we
could mention reap still more evident advantages
from the stoppage, for they have even raised the
price of their coals two shillings s chaldron to the
ship-owners in coneequelice.
. . . . .

The proprietors of the coaleinines below bridge
have lately discovered a means ef cutler, iqg
their curls down the riser with futile or HO inter-
ruption, which to us is Tote iiiexplicable. A
considerable iiiimber of kerlinen, it seems, have
been employed as trimmer.. while the trimmers
have taken uprise bens the of keenness. This
is something like legerdemain, but it is true, and
the prOloibility is that these is son titidermamfing
between these trimming kerlitieti soot their brethren,
if it slurs not extend further, for it can hardly be
iiiipprewil obit the main hotly would sutler them to
rms.l tid if they did not psi-take of same ad-
vantage. In this wanner for the last week many
keels loose gime down the riser with no more Inter-
Plll4lOll than of these differences had newer existed.
Since our last, a few keels of coals have been can-
celed (totem under a guard bona the collieries above
Lodge to N...cwole quay, here by extraortfinaiy
ustustatice some se.sels of from 12 to 18 keels had
been brought to take in thew la.nen4. Out Friday
last upwards of twenty of the kerlinen whit have
been wurktug at Sunderland ss craters, were taken
into custody. and have heels +lnce committed to
I )adonis gain. Hut t here is a ciren mortice attending

without wilier. We have braid, and front the Trance-

these wen were absolutely apprehrutlld without

by the Magi•trstes, but we cannot ton strongly ex-
press our reprobation of such conduct. li these
men hare acted wrong. there is • constitutional
mode of proceeding to a ifect their purnshuient, and
there is i.O excuse for thus tampering with the free-
dosu of the subject. We are held they wear special
constables who did this. but they have sheew how
unfit they ere to exercise the duties of the lichee.

. So 'coon as the Students had been divided into
their different nations, their anxiety to know the de-
termination of the pull seemed, if possible, to in-
crease. After the nations were enclosed in their
different classes, and after the election had begun,
the supporters of Sir J. Mackintosh at once saw how
the election would go, and with their thundering
rotes seemed de•rtmitted to communicate with
the other nations in the other rooms how matters
were going on. The poll drew to a close;
Sir J. Mackintosh, by outgripping majorities,
carried every nation,. 1n the Glotttani, he had 94
of a majority, in the L'.udsni 60 in his favour to
10- against him, nod in all the other nations equal
majorities. After the election was over, each n.s.
tiun named a reporter, to communicate to the Lord
Rector, who was elected to be Rector in the nation
to which he belonged, and the reporter of the nation
to which the new-elected Rector belonged, proceeded
to the Common Hall, and to the Students there as-
ambled, announced in Latin who hod been elected
new Lord Rector.

SIR—You ,indeed in your Paper that a meet-
ing of the lklagistrstrii of this county was held on
the 2d lostaiii, at Ruberititowil ; when, in coolie-
(peller of outrages said to be committed lei that
neighbourhood. all es:fermium of thole police was re-
quested from Government.
The respectable gentlemen who made list re-
quest were only ii.flueiteed, I sincerely believe, by
the best and purest snutivev, sod by • desire tu pre-
serve the prove.

I therefore beg leave to Puggest to them, and to
the Government, whit 1 believe to be principal
causes of the nunrrg•s complained of ; and to point
out remedies which I think more likely to be rfh•
etent them the estehh•lnnent of additional police.

I visited that district several times lately, and
will venture to icy, that there are not 20 per c.o.
of the numerous population, who have neither hid,
blanket, or weather-proof house; very few huve any
work; and there i. hardly any resident gentleman or
proprietor for miles around. The bog, also, which
helms there. is the general refuge or those who fly
Irma oilier districts so avoid apprehension for any
offences they may hare committed. Those are the
chief causes of the bad spirit which prevails. I be-
lieve it could be put down, or lessened, by giving
to the people employment equal in expense to what
the police will cost ; and there would be this ad—
ditional advantage, that hoedraining. or other
useful workii, would make a return. which the
eguippiug and sapportiog of police will riot. It
may be said that this would be encouraging person►
who have misbehaved ; but, in my opinion. the
misbehaviour it the twin human creating in ict

gaiety Wowed by the Act ; cud the trews Constubles'
Act of last Session absolutely breaks faith with
every man who accepted race sod did his duty ou

With the two Arts I hive mentioned (55th Gen.
111. and Ist Geo. IV.), I would be answerable fur
the prefect tranquillity of uuy district where the
people were rant absolutely 'tarrying, I have just
received the Proclentation in Council of the brio-
nisi of Oplialy.Comsel, end K alettlleti. Thr Justices
who met it Robertstown are llevall'Otla of 'meow
police estubliehed rte them, under the command of
Major Tandy, hoping thrieby to ik.nfe expense. as the
Major is alreudy stationed in a neighbouritsg dis-
trict. This is, in my opinion. the worst possible
attempt at economy; for, though the Maine es mat
active and merourious, he has not the power of übi-
quity. and any police stationed at a distance •from
their Chief Magotrates, become a mom elangernus
nuisance. They err, in fact, soldiers without diV-
errs, and without the Mutiny Act ; they comestually
insult and i ate, if they do not assault and mare
der. If in such is business economy be necessary,
it would be letter to pay Magistrates instead of mete.
Firm, upright, and impartial Magistrates can do
any thing almost siugle-handed, or with the assist-
ance of the neighbour.; but police at a distance
from their superior, add to the mi.choef they are
iteended to remedy. Every military . Sere who
served last year in the South, will certify this ; and
it was proved within these few mouth., at Saggard.
within a few miles of the seat of Government. As 1
have meroinued Saggard, 1 will thank you to pulo.
huh the documents I sent you relative to that out-
rage; it may 'Mace the.public, iierhaps, to sub-
scribe a small sung fur the relief of the fifireeseute
which I will thank-yoti to receive.
The Lord Lieutenant has been pleased to
ordered ten pounds fur the family of Cones,..
This humane act they have most gratefully refiner,.

(and it has been certified by most respectable per.om)
they should be largely provided for ut the expense
of those who caused their noiefurtones, or eardes•
voured to screen the murderers. Fifty postufsenore
would make some provisiou for the sot orphans.
Kelly should have ten pounds to compensate him
for the injury of his horse said his loss of time ;
and Dettgaii. for his broken arm, should have ten
pounds more; to contribute to these seventy pounds

believe that shove forty in all were brolly wounded,
but most of them are now pretty well recovered.
Some of the Police, since their discharge by the
orders of Laird Wellesley. have coufersed that
the defence ma their troll (baring peltvd cm their way
from Rothconle to Saggent) was perfectly false.—
I mention this for the satisfaction of certain gentle.

fair inquiry would have presented our Viceroy from
hying imposed upon last February by the story of
.r Mantes being set on fjre in Kildare;" but though
his Excellency end the Legislature were so deceived,
the power then granted to him has not I think been
ahmed, and if his good intentions were zealously
seconded, I should still have hopes for Ireland.
