The Liverpool Courier of Monday last crnitaini
follov.ing statement :—" The colliers in St. He'..2.;
and the 'neighbourliosd have for some time past be-
forming themselves into societies, for the purl ere
obtaining an advance of wages. The ohiect th,;
'organization, we are informed, was, for the workmen
in one colliery to make the demand, and, if they suc-
ceeded, then it was to be made by the others is sue- i
cession; but if it was rejected, then those who had
made the demand were to strike, and were tc he sup-
ported in their designs by the men who veinained in
employment. The proprietors bf the collicri how-
ever, having become acquainted with their 1,-.entions,
and with the view of frustrating them in dirk ebject, '
came to the resolution of immediately discharging
all those who were engaged in the combination ; apd
the whole of them left their work. Up to Friday
every thing remained quiet ; on that day John John-
son, alias Cooke, who acted as Secretary to the body,
was apprehended under warrant for administering
unlawful oaths. Soon after Johnson arrived at the
Raven Inn, in St. Helen's, some hundreds of the col
,liens assembled, and great apprehensions were enter-
tained that they would endeavour tuescue him; but
very fortunately Colonel WILLIAMS and Micaart
HUGUES, Esquire, two Magistrates, were thenatthe
moment, and while the former was addresiiag the
multitude on the impropriety of their conduce mil
motives, Pollitt, the constable of Warrington, sue
ceeded in conveying his prisoner away in a chai
from the back of the Inn. As soon, however, 1:
they were acquainted with the circumstance. .la.:
mob became very clamorous, and followed the ch.:ise,
but without being able to accomplish their object.
The men then dispersed ; but, we understand. that,
in the evening, they visited the pits in large I:edit's,
with fire-arms, and put out the fires and discharal
the engineers at the different works. Ala:vied .a
these proceedings, the Constituted Atithoritiesthough: •
it necessary to call in the aid of the Military;
on Saturday evening, a company of the 52d Regi-
ment and the Liverpool Light Horse received orders
to march for St. Helen's. A party of Infantry also
marched froni Warrington for the same purpose.
We are happy, however, to state, that up to Friday
afternoon every thins remained • perfectly tranqui
It. is said tlrat a meeting of the colliers is to be cer-
vened this day at St. I lelen's. These disturbances
are entirely confined to the colliers at St. Helens;
and weshave not heard of any new demands bei...lg
made by the men employed at either of the celliv.les
of Prescot or Whiston. Johnson arrived at our gad
on Friday evening, and we understand warrams Lave
been issued for the apprehension of several others.
