COAL TRADE OFFICE, NEWCASTLE-UPON

TYNE. MARCH 10. 1832.
AT a GENERAL MEETING of the
COAL-OWNERS of the Rivers TYNE and
WEAR, held here this day,

It VMS unanimously resolved, That the Report now
read, as the Report of the Committee of the Coal-owners,
be adopted by this Meeting, and that the same be printed
and published in the London and provincial newspspers.
ROBERT WILLIAM BRANDLING, Chairman.

REPORT by the COMMITTEE of COAL-ONNE_DE.
RASRE-
SPECTING the PRESENT SITUATION of theV TRADE.
In compliance with the general wish of the trade,,t,treCoam-
mittee have given theirbest attention to those dispute berses ~coallic-bl, coal-owners
have
for some time past so frequently arisen between th
and the pitmen, in order to discover whether the latter, as a body,
have any just cause of complaint ; and should it appear to be
the case, to point out what, in the opinion of the Committee,
would be the proper remedy.
The viewers of the different collieries have furnished
statements founded on their own personal observation, and,
an accurate examination of their fortnight pay bills, which
are regularly kept ; and frorr these it appears that two-
thirds of the hewers, from the period when they were
engaged in May last, to the termination of the year, have
obtained, without any extraordinary exertion, 4s. a day in six
hours, and the remaining one-third the same sum in seven hours;
the average earning of each able-bodied young man, or of two
boys acting as putters, has been four shillings in eleven hours ;
the regular wages of shifters (who, from age or infirmity, are
generally unable to hew), have been :Is. for eight hours;
boys who drive the rallies have been paid Is. 3d., and those
who keep the trap doors from 10d. to Is. per day, not exceed-
ing twelve hours, the occupation of the drivers requiring no
oareat bodily exertion, and that of the trappers merely attention.
Eight hours of the day has always been considered as the cus-
tomary day's work for a hewer, whose labour necessarily regu-
lates all other operations in the mine.
By the above statement it appears, that since their last engage-
ment, the customary working hours have been considerably
reduced, and the workmen acknowledge that this has taken place
in consequence of a regulation amongst themselves, that no
coal-hewer shall be allowed to earn more than as. a day. By
this restriction one-fourth less work has been performed by
two-thirds, and one-eighth less by the remainder, than would
have been executed had they remained the usual time in the pit.
Calculating upon the quantity actually raised, the deficiency
is 171,606 Newcastle chaldrons, which, added to the quantity that
would have been produced during the time that the pits were ooffwork, supposli
• rg the same quantity would have been raised in
the corresponding period of 1831, as in the preceding year, gives
equal to 841,125, tons, which, at ISs.
per ton, is 757,2821. Aso
a total of 317,519 chaldrbun ns,
ingthat only one-third of this quan-
tity could have been sold i(of which there can exist no doubt,te
from the actual vend and the time ships were kept waiting), h
loss to the general trade of the district, and to the colliers them.
selves, is sufficiently apparent.
The loss and inconvenience sustained compelled some of the
coal-owners to introduce strangers as workmen in their mines,
in order to assist in raising a supply equal to the demand : this
was resisted by the pitmen, and many acts of violence and out.
rage were committed; these collieries were stopped for time,
but
a
but the proprietors persevered, and procured a supply of labour_
ers, by whom the works are now carried on. Upon inquirwinogo!
these owners and their agents, it is found that the new work_
the
e
men experienced no difficulty whatever in Peril!
work; that they execute it well, and are
satis-
fied with the nature of the employment and the wages they re-
perfecrmtli v
re-
ceive. These facts are most important, as they prove beyond
the possibility of doubt that the pitmen formerly employed Could
have been neither over-worked or ill paid—that it requires nei-
ther great skill nor any long previous training to become aes
n.
a
ex-
pert coalwork-man, and that such labour is abundant and
si
to he procured. The Committee feel, therefore, perfectlyjut
S.
tied in declaring, that these disputes could not have originated
any real grievances,
ut must have been caused and kept alive
by the workmen unfortunately allowing themselves to be Per.
suaded that they could accomplish the oect of securing constant
work and high wages, by a
secret combinationb to control the
free circulation of labour.
lhat such a combination was not, as has been craftily pre-
tended,
in the nature of a benefit society, for the purpose of pro-
viding for the aged and sick, or to assist each other in obtaining
the best price for their labour previous to entering into any
engagements with their employers,which, unaccompanied
by any display of force or
violence'
, perfectly legal, but
that it was entersd into in the vin hope orotectin tem- selves by their numbers whenevera they felt inc get to set the
law at defiance, has been clearly established, by the murderous
attempts upon the lives of the workmen, and felonious destruc-
tion of property at Waldridge—by the riots and outrages of va-
rious places in the two counties—by the money payments made
from a general fund to those pitmen who deserted their employ-
ment, or were discharged by the Magistrates, and by the threats
and intimidation that have been used to induce individuals to
join the general confederacy.
A candid perusal of the foregoing statement must convince
every unprejudiced person that a supply of coals sufficient to
meet the gradual increase of the trade, or any sudden demand,
cannot be ensured by a mere payment of liberal wages, and that
mutual confidence and a good understanding can never be
bestablished, and a proper submission to the law maintained,
y the
Co coalowners timidly abandoning their undoubted rights.
in all I he mmittee,ments therefore, most earnestly recommend, that
agree that
the workmen, the may hereafter be entered into with
greatest care should be taken to render them
as clear and comprehensive as possible, and perfectly
explicit u Ira
ail points. Wherein the least doubt or misimderstanding can
gbra arise—that the decided and proper
course
ado ted by tho e
en's: - -1" ow nPrs who have successfully resisted the unlawful clenanit
of the pitmen should be pursued in all cases where they violate
their voluntary engagements; and Above all, that immediate and

The King of BAVARIA, according to the
German Papers received this morning, has
issued a proclamatio❑ against the Press and
Political Unions or Associations. How far the
Royal poet may succeed in his objects re-
mains to be seen ; but we always thought that
the King of BAVARIA prided himself on his
almost exclusive German independence and
devotion to liberty. Whether the present episode
be got up as a quid pro quo to the Holy Alli-
ance for nominating
,his son to the Sovereignty of

Greece, we cannot say, but it certainly sound,
very harsh in his Bavarian MAJESTY thus
to denounce the free expression of public opi.
nion without some more cogent reasons than
those assigned in his proclamation.
The example of England is indeed quoted,
but with no great propriety or justification to

either party :•••••
NUREMBERG, MARCH, 7.—A royal receipt, of Ist
March, is of the following tenor :—Louis, by the Grace
of God, King of B ivaria, &c. &c. The Constitution of
our kingdom, and the laws promulgated in conformity,
with it, clearly define the organs through which the co-
operation of the individual members of the State in public
affairs, and the guarantee of Constitutional right, shall be
effected. In the same manner, the free use of the Press
has its regulations and limits laid down in appendix 111.
to the Constitution. We consider the Constitution of the
Bavarian State, which originated in the free will of his
Majesty, our revered father, as a sacred pledge of reciprocal
love and confidence between the throne and the people.
We shall always conscientiously adhete to it, and transmit,
pure and entire, to our descendants, the public liberties
founl ed on it. This is our way of thinking ;to this we
are especially pledged by the oath which we solemnly took
at the beginning of our reign. But for this very reason we
cannot allow an authority belonging only to the legal or-
gans of the governed, in its legal limits, to be claimed by
a third party ; still less that by unauthorised assoeiatiations,
unknown to the laws, the rights should be infringed which
chap. 10 of the Constitution, in reference to the guarantee
of the Constitution in general, and to the free use of the
Press in particular, lays down as the exclusive right of the
Assembly of the States. The Bwarian Constitution no
where gives to the citizens a right to form, at their plea-
sure, political associations, and in concurrence with the
existing authorities and representative bodies, to extend a
detailed organization for political purposes, with fixed pe-
cuniary contributions, and directing Committees over en-
tire circles, or over the whole kingdom; on the contrary,
both before and since the appearance of the Constitution,
the formation of every association, without exception, has
depended on the previous exhibition of the statutes of the as-
sociation and the consent of the Government. Now, as of late,
many attempts of a contrary nature have been made, and
continue to be made daily; we find it our duty as Sove-
reign, with the advice of all our Ministers, to remind all
our officers and magistrates, and all the citizens, of the Con-
stitutional and legal limits, to the participation in the re-
presentation of public interests, and most positively to pro-
hibit all such attempts. We doubt not that this warning
will la aifficient to induce all the citizens from founding or
joining in such associations, But if, contrary to all ex-
pectation, some individuals should be deaf to the voice of
the law, our authorities and magistrates will employ all
the force of their legal authority against the authors and
participators, and, in general, against all associations,
whose advertisements, proclamations, proceedings, &c.
show a tendency contrary to the Constitution of the king-
dom, or to the sovereignty of the Bavarian States.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, T WEL VE O' CLOCK.

New York Papers to the 221 of Feb., received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, by the Samuel
Robertson, Captain Griswold, bring some further ac-
counts from Jamaica, of a late date, by which it will be
perceived that the rebellion of the negroes is nearly at an end.
(From the New York Mercantile Advertiser.)
We hive received by the packet ship, John Cater, the
Jamaica Courant of the Ist Feb. The following is the
lat t official intelligence :
" King's House, Twelve o'clock, Jan. 13.
" A despatch received from General Crawford, dated
Jan. 28, stated that he had visited his outposts the day
before, and had corporal punishment inflicted on several
of the principal slaves who had misbehaved. General
Crawford had sent a detachment to Goshen, in St. Eliza-
beth, with directions to punish such as remained obstinate.
General Crawford intends on the 28th to proceed to
Goshen, from thence to Alligator Pond, and the pro-
perties in its vicinity. The Kemshaw, Shirempton, and
Endeavour people still continue troublesome. Alick, a
cave belonging to Gianhead plantation. condemned by a
general Court-martial, was executed on the 26th inst.
" King's House, Two o'clock, Jan. 31.

" Very satisfactory- advice, have been received from
Montego Bay, dated yesterday. The Major-General
commanding bad made a movement of thirty hours
through Ellersley Cowpark, Chesterfield, Lapland,
O'Cnnor's Mountains, Scarlett's Mountains, and
Greenwich. The troops took provisions and bivouaced ;
in the pursuit they ,cowered the immense woods com-
pletely, and the rebels fled always, never firing a shot. Yes-
terday between 150 and 200 came in at Catadupa, and
stated that they would all come in if they were not afraid
of the consequence ; some, however, of the original rebels,
belonging to H..zalymph and Belvidere, were still obstinate
and it is thought that a qualified pardon being proclaimed,
would he attended with the happiest effect. Dehany had
been taken, and Wellington Dehany had given valuable
information.

" A report from Lieut.-Col. Farquharson, states that be
had visited Greenwich, and that great numbers of negroes
from the neighbouring States, hid surrendered at that
post. From Belvidere, 131 ; Hazelymph, 91 ; Green-
wich, 111—and the Lieut.• Colonel expected that great
numbers would surrender the following day."
