Suppoee fce loses £ 200 by the bargain , he gives the £ 200 : suppose he gains he gets the £ 200 . ETery -war , every outbreak , every cruelty , erery mauler , is to these lioe a source of speculation , peculation , and plunder ; and in their hands , Trhhooi possessing one fraction in the funds , is placed the -wiale political influence Of this ViSt , this gigantic , and appalling machinery . wdd see him . These feUom are not —tinlflmi They areptanderea , who ten the property of others
They circulate he * and concoct schemes , -which oblige artless , unsophisticated persons to glut the market with their piper securities ; and then they take advantage of the general consternation . They buy low today , destroy their own bubble to-morrow , and sell high to the s&me parties again , thus remorselessly reining tie most ignorant and defenceless portion of the community , and diseoneerting that -which , of bU other points of the state machine , governs the labour market Banker ' s discounts , monetary transactions of all kinds , purchase of raw material , and emp loyment of labour , are all affected by any violent by
^ sange produced these vermin . Every stream of corruption , every polluted channel in the political stream , every inequality in the classes , every squabble amongst the several orders , every convulsion in the iome and foreign markets , every combination of masters against men and men against masters , are all grist for their mill , all food for the " funded lice ";" aad inasmuch as upon class legislation , and the exclusion of tha industrious from any participation in fte a&irs of the nation , depends tho preservation of the system , so would these "beastly things see var—civil vrar , and and domestic strife , raging , before they -would admit of any change which
must turn them out of the temple , until , in my conscience , I believe they must be lashed out And yet these are a portion of the fellows that you are asked to unite with . Tpoa my word , I can't help laughing at the innocent conceit ! This infernal funding system , one of the early blessings of the glorious revolution , fcas b « become the ruling power of the State , that if tile Government required twenty millions to-morrow , U put into operation the machinery requisite for any thing ever so extravagant or unjust , it would be pro--eared in a tangle day , while your order , who should pay the interest , are all starving . Can you hope -to have this class of the community with you ? I should ss , j decidedly not
The next class are the clergy , Leech . What are we to say of these men J Every man ? ho abuses them is oiled an infidel , and their position in society brings them into contact withsuch large bodies of the community that , while they act as political trebrands , they are also looked upon as mirrors of local fashion , and a Had of provincial gazette fur the regulation of social and polieieal movements . Under the bnggabooism of one or other of the priesta of the several Beets the tender infant mind is reared ; prejudices , hatred , jealousies , and dissensions are fostered . Sect is set against sect-rail pulling different roads in Ifce way of the spirit , but
an travelling to the same point in the way of the fiesh . But I will confine myself to a State Church ; that is , to the political support which our rulers receive from the body of incorporated Act of Parliament Christians in return for the physical means of supporting clerical plunder . The power of the Church consists in the inculcating of early prejudices into the minds Of yoong children ; and by which , they are taught to consider the support of their church as the one great thing necessary as a passport to respectable society . When the mind becomes matured , the churchman begins to find that his interest also is involved : and tlins we
bfiSI ef thfl QuSTch being in danger , if a drunken old ttoate should chance to fall from his horse and crack hit neck . Let me Illustrate to you the power of the parsons in their several parishes . The mother of a family is generally at home to the parson . If he appears to be an agreeable man , he is ' ^ fascinating ;" and u O ! he inculcates his views so charmingly ! " If an austere man , " he is so conscientious and uprightV bet in eith ^ f case be has his influence . 3 > t us canvass -the means , not of keeping the Tonng flock in the Old fold , but of reclaiming a stray one . Dr . Tenthsheaf makes a morning calL All the family are present ,
except Master James , a lad of 16 , who is purposely kept -out of the way till the parson has been informed , privately , be / ore the remainder of the family , of his aWfring heresy . This Dr . Tenthsheaf is one of your mild , fsufinntj-ng divinfi 3 ; and , when in possession of Master James's delinquency , the culprit enters the room . Parson—Well , my rfa-riing how are you ? Hother—O , Doctor , you are not to pet him , or t > e so fond of him any more . I assure you he ><*» been -very naughty , and has nearly broken his poor papa ' s heart , and all the young ones . O yes , indeed , Dr . Tenthsheaf , he is very naoghty . Parson—Well , but -what haste done ? "Mamma—I am almost ashamed to tell ; but as I said I would , I must not tell a falsehood . What do you think of that young gentleman attending
a meeting , or , indeed , two , I believe , of those abominable , infidel Chartists . Our baker , who went there from curiosity , saw him upon the platform . Parson—O ! the baker was only joking . I am sure , my boy , my little pet , James , Vould not do such a thing . He knows that God would not love him . He knows very well that the p » or miserable , misguided Chartists are all infidela . But , - come , wipe your eyes . There , mamma , be protases me never to do so again , don't you , Jemmy ? J&mes—Tes , Sir ; if mamma will forgive me this time , and if the girls will promise not to teazs me any more fcbout it Thus the matter end 3 ; James being con-Tinced that all his comfort consists in a hatred of Chartism .
Kov , Leech , it is absolutely necessary that you should endsrstand the source from which those deep-rooted pre ? jniices spring , ana asupon the preservation of religious ascendancy depends oligarchical ascendancy , so have Whig 3 4 a < i Tories an equal interest in upholding the eats . bli £ h-Eisit , and in the preservation of religious feuds . Don't let us run astray with the argument , though . The uiaenters , if in the ascendant to-morrow , would establish their religion as the state religion . All sects fat ask for toleration , then for equality , and then they Straggle for ascendancy ; and by religions battles the Community are always the sufferers . Ko-w . JLeech , let us
see the value of the State Church to the state clerical corporation . The income has been variously estimated , but none have given the corporation of divines less thun eight millions a year ; that is , in Great Britain and Ireland . I do not say one word of the deterioration of alllands held under Bishops , and Church . Corporation leases , which , from a bad tenure , are not worth one half which they would otherwise bring ; and are not CoMvxied in consequence to one-fourth part of their powers of yielding . In passing , let me observe , that a bad tenure iB a great curse to this country ; observe how land , let on lease for ever , that would be
irorth two pounds per acre ; on a Bishop ' s lease or a short leaae , would not be worth twenty-six shillings . Thus , when property is let under the court , pendente & « , or pending the suit , or for three years , © r during ft * life of one of the parties , which are the usual SBHns ef sequestration , it seldom fetches more *>>» ti t » o-t&irds of the rent for which it was originally let Maintaining of tenure prevents the expenditure of hbour and capital Let me explain how natural this

Thus I show you that a fund appropisted to the support of 20 , 000 infidels , who have a direct interest in confusion and crime , would , by a just appropriation , turn England into a paradise , and observe , still leave the eight millions a year for national
purposes . But how sweetly this sword or state passes through the hungry bones of a deluded people . It reminds me of the request of the goed wife to the butcher— " Tell him to cut it thin , with a hammy knife , fer to give it a relish ; " and the manner in which even Irish Catholics have allowed this church knife to penetrate their bowels , for to give the Church a relish il , t « me , the most anomoioia circumstance I ever knew of .
> ow , if this Church was destroyed to-morrow , not one farthing of the Bavings would go to the people ; all would go to the enfranchised order . Therefore , I have never joined in any crusade against its usurpations . You may have what is called perfect religious freedom , which means an antaxed creed , without the slightest civil freedom ; but once obtain youi full amount of civil rights , and then , all religious inequality goes . Now , all is transfer ; then all would be
appropnafaon to the most beneficial and useful purposes . Both Whig and Tory have a direct interest in supporting a State Church Establishment ; and therefore you may as well bay the moon aa try to take one weathercock off a single steeple . As all the property of the Church comes from labour , and as the enfranchisement of the labourer would burst the bubble , \ he Church party have a peculiar interest in resisting all popular demands for organic rhtmytm
Leech , next comes a fearful class , " masters employing working people . " Under this head is comprised , directly or indirectly , every person who does not labour ; but inasmuch aa those masters who work at machinery with ™ mmi power , both employ the greatest number of hands and turn the most capital I nhai ] consider their position . Bat first let me apologise to you for addressing you , upon a subject upon which you are much better informed than myself ; but , as two millions persons and more will read this letter , it is not -written for the instruction of James Leech ,
although , from some points , he will derive information . No ! it is written for the labouring community . Again , let me not be understood as attempting to lead to the conclusion that the masters are all bad , and naturally bad . No ! once for all , it is the system I condemn . I mow many good men among them ; but the system compels them all to an uniformity of practise . For instance , there is no man on earth whose politics I despise , and who goes further to support the system , than Mr . Baines , proprietor of the Leeds Mercury , and yet there is no better father , friend , or employer : he would blush to do , as an individual , any one of those acts which , as a party man , he upholds : and hence the
[ Again we must break off with Mr . O'Connor ' s letter , in in consequence of the great press of interesting Chartist intelligence . We nfrnii give the conclusion next week . }

TO THE EDITOB OF THB NORTHERN STAB . " My Dear Sir , —Having observed in the Star a communication , signed by Timothy THgg ^ tad . others now in Chester Castle , and believing that that letter has been sent to you for a factious purpose , and likewise that it is calculated to impress my friends , the working men , with a belief that only seven mea in Chester Castle received 8 s . 4 d . per man from me out of tha five pounds sent from Glasgow . I subjoin a document , signed by the remaining men who received the same amoioii of the Glasgow donation , ™» ftfog in all twelve men who received 8 s . 4 d . each .
Is laying this before the public , I must express my sorrow that such a petty spirit of hostility should be shown to me by men ¦ whom I am bo desirous to serve , and that a mean advantage aboold be taken when my back was turned , and my attention Boiely occupied with the furtherance of these great principles fer whieh we have all suffered . My distinct opinion is in accordance with that whieh I expressed before , la . reference to the prisoners eonfined in Chester Cast ) e . AU these men require urgently public support in a , pecuniary point of view ; but seeing that such a j ? alons spirit exists amongst some of them towards m / ., i would decline publicly reeeiring any money in f ature in their behalf , -whilst I at the same time wo / jd strongly recommend the working men

Mr . Moir , of Glasgow , wrote to me , ( I believe in consequence of my statements regarding the condition of my fellow-prisoners , ) and in that fetterhe says that the £ 5 " was to be * y me distributed among the most necessitous of my fellow-prisoners . " Well , I thought all were equally in need , and therefore I gave an equal share to all . Twelve men receiving 89 . 4 d . each , of course will exhaust £ 5 . What more i » wanted ? Is the complaint raised because I have done equal justice to all ? Surely that cannot be . The complaint in the Star is , that he writes and complains he saw no correspondence . Mr . Moirt letter was private and the money was placed at my disposal . I cannot , therefore , as an individual , receive money from men who are ao very unreasonable . It was surely enough that they received the money . What saotewai required ?

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HORTHERN STAR , Dear Sir , —We are sorry to inform you that the ill-feeling which some of the Chartist prisoners had created amongst us , is atill in existence ; and as w » have seen and read the correspondence forwarded to you by-the brave men of Glasgow , which announced that the sum of £ 5 , which you would receive for the imprisoned Chartista here , wa 3 to be divided at your discretion , we beg to state we have been favoured with the same , amounting to the sum of 8 s . 4 d . each , and at the same time congratulate you for the evinced impartiality you have towards your fellow-man , by an equal distribution of the whole . We therefore kindly
request you will acknowledge the above , on our behalf , to our benevolent friends , with our unfeigned thanks and gratitude , which we kindly trust they will please to accept With our best respects , Dear Sir , We remain in the cause of Truth and Freedom , Johs Livsey , Isaac Johnson , George Wareham , James Duke , James Burton , Thomas Howaeth .
P . S . We could not conscientiously put our signatures to the letter of acknowledgment wrote by Higgins , and signed by five others , which they sent to the *• Star " office to-day , as it distinctly stated they had not seen any letter of correspondence between you and the men of Glasgow , and we had .

SHIPWRECK OF THE KING AND ROYAL
FAMILY OF FRANCE . _ _ . Calais , August 18 . The King , Madame Adelaide , their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Nemours , the Princess Clementine , the Dukes of Aumale and of Montpenaier , accompanied by the Ministers of War , of the Marine , and of the Interior , embarked at Eu on the 10 th inst , at twelve o ' clock at night , their intention being to touch at Boulogne , which her Majesty the Queen was to reach by land .
The weather having become very stormy , the Feloce , after having tried to enter the harbour of their destination , was obliged to make for Calais . At two o ' clock in the afternoon of the 17 th the Royal steamer was in sight of the latter port , and gumg were fired to announce the arrival and to signal a pilot At half-past two the vessel was threading the Channel , -when the violence of wayes and wind bore her aw » y on the works of the new jetty , where she grounded in a situation of imminent peril , after experiencing some damages in her hulL
AU were disembarked safely and the Royal party , more frightened than hurt , pursned their way to England .

Brctal Assault , and Violation of a simple Girl . —On Wednesday last , one of the most revolting cases we ever knew , was brought before the migiatmea at Barosley . A man was charged with violating the person of a poor young girl , at Thurguber . This girl is an idiot , eleven years of age , and also decrepid in her arms and hands ; the man is twenty-five years of age , robust and strong . The evidence was of a most disgusting nature He was fully committed for trial .
The Blessings of the Poor Law . —In the same Court was brought on the case of Amos Wodcock , weaver , Worsbro' Common . This poor man has been for a long time ill , and under tho attendance of Dr . Wainwright ; the poor man , when his little means of support were nearly exhausted , applied to George Green , the overseer , for relief . Green sent him to Liddle , overseer of Barnslev , as belonging to V . , ]**" " The juggling game then began . From Liddle to Green , and from Green to Liddle , was this poor , emaciated , Bickl y , care-worn , and impoverished man sent seven or eight times a distance of about three miles , makiDg forty-eight miles in all , before he could get any relief . At last the leviathan heart of Green was softened , he gave him two shillings . The next Saturday came , he applied to him again at six o ' clock in tne evening , but he kept him waiting
until one o clock in the morning ( that was the time this legal constable dismissed his public-house customers ) before he relieved him . Dr . Wainwright , to his eternal honour , ( pitying the case of suffering humanity ) got the poor man removed to the Infimary . The wife went for relief , and would not be relieved , but conditionally , that she should deliver the key of her house to the harpy of an overseer . This , of course , she refused , and again was sent away without relief . She then applied to the doctor , who kindly interfered with the magistrate , and with much ado , got Liddle to allow her seven shillings per week . Now we would ask , what right have these nefarious , brandy-drinking , overseers to such power ? No wonder the people are disaffected ; we hope every medical man in the town will follow the example of Dr . Wainwright .
Axciext Foresters Court , No . 856 , held their first anniversary , on Monday , the 10 th instant , at Mrs . Davis ' s , Three Crowns . The dinner reflected the greatest of credit on the worthy hostess , and the evening was spent in the utmost hilarity and mirth .
HALIFAX . Accident . —On Thursday morning , the 13 th inst ., Jabez Sims , a young man apprenticed with Mr . Foster , plumber and glazier , of this town , had a narrow escape from death , whilst engaged , with others , in assisting to get a new vessel which they had placed in a cart , for the purpose of conveying it to the place of destination , and , when nearly at the summit of the planks on which they raised it , by some means or other , some of them lost their hold , and the vessel rolled back , on which the young man , in trying to escape , fell down , and had the misfortune to have his thigh broke by its rolling over him . He was taken to the Infirmary , but hopes are entertained that he will do better than was expected , from the perilous situation in which he was placed .
Teetotaijem . —This , cause progresses in this neighbourhood , and its advocates feel elated at the prospect of its becoming general . Some of the friends have been round collecting the needful towards a debt which was contracted , and have obtained £ 11 which will nearly liquidate the whole , besides putting its supporters in better spirits . A Storm . —On Monday last , a very severe storm of wind and rain was witnessed in this towu and neighbourhood , which did partial damages to the gardeners by blowing the fruit off the trees , and , in some cases , trees of eight and nine year / growth were blown down , and the corn and other things laid in various directions .
The Royal Exhibition . —On Monday evening last , the band of the Cameron 79 th regiment of the Highlanders was engaged to play at the Soiree for the above-named Exhibition , and , on Tuesday evening , was re-engaged to play a grand Concert at the same place . On Wednesday morning they assembled in front of the Barracks in this town , and played a few airs previons to leaving for Stockport or Manchester , where they are at present lying .

Jamea Whitley , near the King ' s Mill , Hnddersfield , soon after David Haigh , and a boy who hurries for him , had got in ; both were most dreadfully burnt , and are now laying in a very dangerous condition ; it is principally owing to negligence . The men have complained some time , and on Monday morning one was turned away for refusing to enter the same place . It is high time that people should not treat the lives of human beings in such a way .

The lamented brother was interred at the parish church , Kirkheaton , when the funeral ceremony was read to a numerous and an attentive audieace ; after which , the procession moved to the Beaumont ' s Arms Inn , Kirkheaton . Some doubts being entertained about the reading of the funeral
ceremony , one of tte members was deputed to the minister , the Rev . Mr . Alston , to ask permission , and he kindly replied , " Of course , with the greatest pleasure . " At the dose of the interment , the clerk , ( by order of the minister , ) invited one of the members to the vestry of the churoh , to inform him that the report of the minister forbidding secret orders reading ceremonies at the interment of their members was utterly false , and he ( the minister ) would with pleasure allow of any order , that was based upon the principles of benevolence , to pay their last sad respects over the grave of a dear departed brother , by reading or making an oration becoming a Christian , and on such an occasion . The members of the above Lodge beg to return their sincere thanks to the Rev . Gentleman for the kind reception they met with from him .
CLAYTON . Highway Robbery . —On Saturday night last , about twelve o ' clock , Mr . Henry Swam , landlord of the Old Dolphin Inn , was returning homo from Halifax , on horseback , and when arriving opposite the Park of Joseph Stocks , Esq ., three athletic men rushed out , and pulled him off the horse , dragged him upon the road , and , after using him in a barbarous manner , rifled his pockets of 7 s . 6 d . in silver , and then made their escape into the Park again . One of the robbers had on a round fustian jacket , and the other two had on dark coloured clothes . We hope and trust the robbers will be found out and punished accordingly . Fatal Accidknt . —On the 12 th instant , Joseph Sharp , a collier , Was employed in one of the pits at
bhelf , and having worked about three yards without putting any puntians up , and also ordered his hurrier to bring him them , the boy , on his return , found him covered with a large pieoe of schale , &c supposed to weigh three tons . The boy immediately made it known to the other workmen , who used every means to extricate him ; and , on finding him , he was mutilated in a shocking manner , and quite dead . The deceased has left a wife pregnant , and four children , to mourn his untimely fate . Bukglary . —On Sunday night last , about half-past ten o ' clock , Mr . Abraham Temoest . late worried

He went directly to the door , and found the locks had been broken open with a large crow-bar . He directly sent for the constables , who , on their arrival , asked him if he knew the parties . He stated he knew one of them , and said it was John Emsley , a neighbour . They accordingly went and searched his house , along with Mr . Tempest , and found a large number of tools , which Mr . Tempest identified as being his property .

1 VIIDDLETON . Co-operation . —This society is still steadily progressing in capital , and acquiring a moderate influence in the town . Many , who thought it was merely an upstart , and that it would fade away , now find it a growing establishment , destined to work a great many evils of the system of society . The middle classes had better fly to the labouring classes before it is too late .
ASHTON-UNDEE-LYNE . TwENTY-FlBST ANNIVERSARY OF THE NETER'TOBE-FORGOTTEN , AND NEVER-TO-BE-FOHGIVEN FATAL Bloodstained 16 th of Awgust . —The Radicals of Charlestown , having always kept the 16 th of August sacred , by exhibiting the black flag and the cap of liberty , and singing that celebrated hymn , wrote by Mr . S . Bamford , of Middleton , when in Lincoln gaol , for attending the meeting at Peterloo , in 1819 , the 16 th being on Sunday this year , it caused much excitement in the minds of our enemies to see the black flag hanging out , with this inscription on it in letters of blood : — " Murder on the 16 th of August , 1819 , at Peterloo . "—When the churchwardens and constables came their round in the forenoon , they were not a little surprised to see the inscription on the flag . They stamped and they swore , and cursed all the Radicals in the country ; the deputy-constable flourished his staff over his headand shouts out
, " where are these damned Chartists ? Who dare give three cheers for the Charter now ! " They went into the house , and told the housekeeper if he did not take it down directly , they would take him before the magistrates ; but it was kept up all day in spite of tho factious myrmidons . You must bear in mind that last year the 16 th of August happened in the same week as the sacred month should have commenced . When the reign of terror began , the magistrates ordered fifteen policemen and one troop of the Stxth Dragoons , stationed at Ashton , to go to Charleston and seize * he black flag and cap of liberty , and the man that hung them OUt , and bring them to the Bench that was then sitting , but the female Radicals fought the police and defeated thsm , and kept the cap of liberty , and they hunted the man for more than a week , but he went off of his own accord at last , and got over tho base Whig magistrates at last . —Correspondent .
MANCHESTER , Operative Painters' Society . —On Monday evening last , the anniversary of this SOOiety was celebrated ai the house of Mr . William White , Railway Inn , Deansgate , who provided a most sumptuous entertainment to a very numerous meeting of its members . The tables were tastefully arranged , and were plentifully supplied with every delicacy of the season , which were served up in the worthy hostess' usual good style . On this occasion the Society were honoured by the presence of deputations from the operative painters of Liverpool , Sheffield , Rochdale , Stookport , and other important towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire . On the cloth
being removed , many appropriate toasts were given , in responding io which the various speakers adverted to the advantages likely to accrue to the several Sooieties , m bejing enrolled under Aots of Parliament , and to the benefits which had already been received by afflicted members , one instance of which occurred last week in Manchester alone , where a member and a wife of a member have been enabled , through the means of this Society , to obtain decent and respectable interment . The evening was spent with the utmost hilarity and good humour , and the members separated at a late hour , it being remarked by those present that this meeting was distinguished above aU preceding ones for the copious display of loyalty , independence , and kindly ¦ feelin g . —Correspondent .
BATH . Death of Mb . Mhaung . —We regret to announce the death of our esteemed citizen , Mr . Richard Mealing , member for Bath in the late General Convention . He was a steady , undaunted , and uncompromising friend to the people . He had through a long course of years been the advocate of the principles upheld by Cartwright , Paine , Hunt , Cobbett , and others ; and , although persecution had been relentlessly pursued against him in every possible way , still he continued to the last to hold and maintain
mem , ana , oy every means in his power , to instruct his fellow-men in a knowledge of their rights . He was , moreover , a noble , generous , and kind-hearted man , whose benevolence extended to all his species , and whose desire for human happiness was unbounded : he would willingly have died to see his fellows happy . A . more honest man could not exist ; his sterling worth and integrity renders his death to be universally deplored by all who knew him , as it is . He has left a -widow to lament his oss . He died August 9 th , 1840 , aged sixty-three years .

^^^^ COLMEi THE LATE DISTURBANCES AT COLNE . Previous conduct of the County Police and their abettors ; their total defeat and flight before an incensed and exasperated company of young men , driven to desperation by their previous behaviour to the working people . ( from a special constable . ) Since the introduction of the county police into this place , -which was in March last , the peace of the town and neighbourhood has been frequently endangered , by their conduct towards the working classes , which , no doubt , has been rendered more severe , by being goaded and prompted on by a set of crackbrained , bullying , and reckless squad of Idlers , who vainly fancied that they and their minions could tread the working classes trader their feet , and make them tamely submit to theii tyrannical dictation in opposition to all rational law and reason . COUfE .
In the month of April teat , the young men gave the rural ruffians a severe chastisement , Cor their brutal behaviour towards the peaceable inhabitant * , -which had a salutary effect for a few weeks . The last week ih > May prepared the materials for another contest , wing te > the conduct of » ae of the neighbouring magistrates , he being up and down the main strest on Saturday trening , the 30 th of May , in a atate of intoxication in company with sonw of the police , insnltimg an * -beating the people with- Hi * tkk , and puBhil * the »> off the causeway into t * e street , for which conduci thla conservator of the public peace has been reported in t *» proper quartei ; but hitherto without any prospect of investigation or radreaa .
About ; three weeks ago , a spirit of revenge seemed to manifest itself on the part of tne people-, and two of the poMoe were-availed with atones at th * outskirts of the towH ; : one of them was severely bruistd , and the other nude off with all speed . Ew > m that time , the conduct o « the pauper-brigade has-been el the most unjustifiable character . Children of two or tkree years old nave been ill-tieated in the publio street * , and old men , whoa * - hoary locks ought to command attention and veneration ^ have been knocked down in the street by the bludgeona . of these hired slaves of ova political system , and n » ledresa could' be obtained . Numbers of the working people have been severely hurt , and rendered unable to follow their employment for some considerable time , by these cowardly vampires of tyranny and oppression .
On Tuesday evening , the 4 th ult , EhcpubUe indignation broke out in the breaking of some panes ef glasa in the window * of a well-known aolicitor , who haa rendered himself obnoxious in the eyes of the public in general , owing to his want of good sense , prudence , and foresight , and his love of extortion and oppression . A poase of police , seeing a man about an hear after , near the spot , whom curiosity had called from his fireside , thinking he heard the report of a pistol , the police sprung after him , and followed him into his house , and pushed a table over , on which was some pota which were broken , and began to beat hia two sons , who had a short time before returned from a prayer-meeting . One of the sons contrived to get into the coal-house after he bad been severely beaten about
the head , and by this effort escaped being taken to prison ; the other son and the father were dragged off to prison ; without their hats and treated in the moat insulting and contemptuous manner by the police on their way thither . The next day they were taken before the magistrates , and the prisoners eases being so warmly espoused by the Christian church to whieh the young men belonged , and the Radical Association of which the father was a member , the police got a severe castigation , and the father and son were triumphantly released ; but where was the redress fo > injuries received ? No where to be found ! The next day ( Thursday ) the excitement appeared to strengthen , and in the evening , the young men assembled and rerolved to give the rurals another chastisement , and for
thia purpose the lada , it seems , made pretty free with some temporary wood railing near the town ; this being done , they went , in number about forty , and regularly offered them battle in the Market-place ; after some considerable hesitation some of the police fired a pistol by way of intimidation ; the lada answered the compliment in the same manner , and at the same time made a tremendous rush at the police , who fled in all directions , running in at the first open doors they came at , and hiding themselves from danger , and most likely smells of not the finest flavour would be emitted from some of their inexpressibles . The m » b thus finding themselves masters of the town , had the imprudence to break the windows of Beveral persons who were obnoxious to them , and instantly dispersed home ,
and all again was still and quiet , neither police nor mob could be seen . The military having arrived from Burnley some time after , the police , worse terrified than hurt , crept out of their hiding places , with the exception of some , whom it was said could not be found till noon the day after . About halfpaat five o ' clock , the morning after , aa a young woman was on her way to the factory , she met with some of her acquaintances on the road , and was talking ever the defeat and flight of the police the night before , one of the police , called " akin and grief , " overheard her , and began to beat and kick her in the most savage and brutal manner , and left her in suoh a state that it was with great difficulty she could return home . About one o ' clock at noon , placards made their appearance , calling a
meeting of the inhabitants of the town to devise the best means of preserving life and property , and the peace of the town , to be held in the room over the Grammar School . No sooner was it made public than people began to flock to the place of meeting , no doubt with an earnest desire to allay tha excitement ; several members of the Radical Association attended in order to render any assistance and influence they might have with the inhabitants , to reconcile the unpleasant differences that existed , but their good intentions were in a great measure frustrated by the party calling the meeting , contemptuously shrinking from attending the same , and holding a hole and corner meeting of their own at the King ' s Head Inn , and thua adding fuel to the fire . The
number of persons outside the School Room being so great , it was deemed advisable to adjourn the meeting into a spacious yard just by , which was kindly lent by the owner for this purpose . Resolutions were passed of a conciliatory and healing character ; the Ia 3 t recommending the withdrawal of the police from the town as the most effectual means of preserving the peace of the town , and giving security to life and property . It was a most numerous and attentive meeting , and it was hoped good would result from it . The authorities decided that the military should be sent for to- Burnley Barracks , and a stronger force of the pauper-brigade to coerce the people into submission . The soldiers arrived the same night , both horse and foot , and once more they thought themselves secure
from danger . The next day , ( Saturday ) a warrant was taken out by the parents of the young woman who had been so brutally used by the policeman the morning before , and the case was erdered to be heard on the Monday . "When the time arrived that the case should have been investigated , it -was shamelessly postponed by the officials for more than a fortnight , to the great disappointment and indignation of the public in general , who took a lively interest in the case . The military having returned to Burnley the morning before , the police were once more left in charge of the town . The authorities having some apprehensiona of another outbreak in the evening , I , along with seventy-one others of the inhabitants , were sworn in as special constables , to assist the police , and were , by the magistrates' orders ,
called out about nine o ' clock in the evening , along with about forty policemen , and the magistrates proceeded to read the Riot Act in different parts of the town . During thia time , the mob outside the town , it seems , repaired to Christ Church , one mile from the town , and provided themselves with some loose iron railing , that happened to be there , and returned to the town ; and here I must remark , that when the Riot Act was read when nearest the assembled mob , the authorities and special constables , and police , gave three cheers , aa if by way of defiance . The mob soon after came into the main etroet , and called on na to come on and fight . We retired about twenty yards , and returned again , and divided our force , one party going down Clayton-street , the other down Parliament-street , and made a stand , which was no sooner done than a party of the mob rushed down St . John's-street , armed with iron railing
and dabs of wood , and in an instant put the police and special constables to flight in all directions ; and at this time one of the special constables , Mr Joseph Halstead , received a mortal blow from the hands of some one at present unknown . Several more of the police and specials were severely hurt , through not being able to get out of the way fast enough ; and here it must be observed , that the enraged mob must have been very forbearing , or otherwise there would have been a great sacrifice of human life . The mob pursued the police and specials In all directions , and were at the same time considerably inferior in numbers , which had a very ludicrous appearance This being done , one of the Church bells began to sound an alarm , and it aeems the mob thought the seldiers just at hand , and they instantly dispersed home without d » ing any further mischief .
The military entered the town soon after , and the police and authorities , in company with the soldiers , proceeded to search the houses of several persons , and apprehended several parties on suspicion of being concerned in tne riot ; . and the Coroner's warrant has sent three young men to Lancaster Castle , on suspicion of being concerned in the death of Mr . Halstead . It is worthy of remark , that the rioters were not bo numerous as the specials and police . The town is at present tranquil , and no further arrests . We have a strong force of police and ' soldiers ,, and the town is going to be made a military station for the future . Feom a Special Constable . N . B . This , Mr . Editor , ia a fair and impartial statement of the transactions at Colne ; and , no doubt , your numerous readers will feel much obliged by your insertion of the same in your valuable and widely-circulated paper . - Colne , August 18 th , 1840 .
