LSCTURK ON THE VOWI 1 ITA * Y PMNCIP 1 . K , at South-Pabade Chafbi «—On Wednesday erening last , the Be ? . -Mr . Ifcobson delivered a Teiy eloquent and pathetic appeal to * TespectaKle audience on the subject of the projected church endowments in Scotland , calling upon the Mends of freedom to co-operate -with their Scottish brethren in offering their reastence to church extension in that country . The address was such a one as we seldom have an opportunity of hearing , and to say the least it went to a confinnatian that additional churches in Scotland would , aft 61 " an enormous exenditure of the public moneyprove a deadletter—that more call was needed
, for churchmen than churches . An introductory address ¦ sras delivered by tie Rev . Mt . Thompson , who , with flie Rev . Mr . Robson , formed a deputation from the . Dissenters of Scotland . These gentlemen are -risking the va ions towns in England on the -same errand , and we hope their endeavonrs may be crowned with success . The most favourable resolu tions were unanimously passed at Leeds , and we have reason to anticipate that sa good a cause will meet as nattering a reception in other parts of the kingdom . It is expected there w 11 be a petition against the scheme from every dissenting congregation in the town .
Dinner to Sib "W . Moleswokth . — "We understand that the brave men of Holbect , who supported Sir " Win . Molesworth , intend giving him a dinner , as a proof that they Trill stand by the man who has not deceived them , and will support him against the wily machinations of a faction who have been disappointed in their prey , ^ e shall heartily and cordially join their rants , and request , should the rickets "be two shillings and sixpence each , that forty may be retained for u ? , as " a gift to the non-electors of HoYbeei , who snared in the labour , and now participate in the triumph .
WASStlKU ) . "Workixg Men's Association . —The Rev . J . Cameroa still continues his useful and interesting lectures to the members of this Society .
Hokbttry . —" We understand that several accidents of a trifling nature have happened during the past week , at the dangerous cnt which is making for the line of the Leeds and Manchester railway , in this township . Odd "Women . —The secret order of females , which we mentioned last week as having opeted a lodge at the house of Mrs . Lvle , the " White Horse , Inn , "Waiefield , is entitled '' The Grand United Order , of Odd "Women , " and the name of the Lodge is" The first Rose of "Wakefield in its full bloom / ' One hundred and forty-eight females were made members on Easier Mondav .
"West-Riding Pkoprietakt School . — "We hear that Earl Fitzwilliam , the president of this nourishing institution , has signified his intention of being present at the next public meeting for the distr ibution of prizes , the day for which , in accordance with bis Lordship ' s desire , is deferred to the 3 rd of August , Leeds and Manchester Railway . On Monday last , a Court was held in the Music Saloon , " Wakefield , for adjudicating upon the claims of owners of property on the above line of railway . It was expected that there would be about a dozen cases to settle in this manner ; but it appeared that
an agreement had been ms . de with the whole of the parties , excepting Mr . George Craven and Mr . Tenant , both po « ses « dng property on the line of road near Wakefield . Mr . Richardson , of York , under sheriff , acted as assessor , and as . soon as two juries had been sworn , he directed them to go and view the property . O ^ i their return , Mr . Taylor opened the case on the part of Mr . Craven ; Mr . "Wilkin , of Manchester , appeared as counsel for the company The claim put in by Mr . Craven amounts to i" 500 , which was for the land taken by the company , and the injury done to the remainder by the severance . " We understand that the sum offered by the compan y
was ££ 50 . The land was valued at an average of 3 s . per yard , and the deter ioration by the severance was calculated at Is . per yard ; the land being cor-. sidered suitable for building ' purposes . After hearins counsel on both sides , the jury retired for about two hoars , when they returned with a verdict for the plaintiff for £ 350 . Inquests before Thomas Lee , Jux .. Esq . —On . Friday last , at the house of Mi . Robert Denton . the ^ New Inn , Ac-kworth , on view of the body of Ann Lee , deceased , a girl about eight years old , who came to her death in consequence of a cinder falling upon her from the nrp , whilst she was
sat on the hearthstone , nursing an infant" sister . As soon as she found herself on fire , she had happily the pre ? eut-e of mind to drop the infant into th ' e cradle . The deceased was very severely burnt and suffered ihe most excruciating agonv . Her father is a farming labourer , and has seven other children . —On Monday last , at the house of Mr . Joseph Hsig ' n , Three Tuns , " WakefieiS , on the bouv of George Norbury , the young man who was killed by being thrown from a horse , belonging to Mr . "White , of .

John Settle ton , clerk with Mr . Carr , appeared on behalf of tbe Earl of Dartmouth , to enforce from Mr . Benjamin "Walker , of . Cross Hall , one of tbe Society of Friends , the sum of £ 3 6 s ., due for tithes . Service of the summons being proved , and ibe amount due , and a demand of it , tbe court granted a process accordingly .

He was " also charged with stealing a brass fumigating box , and other articles , tbe property of Mr . Haigh . Cornmined for trial at the Bradford Sessions . "
"Waibiield Court House , Monday .- "Weights and Measures . —Mr . Ledger , tbe inspector of -weights and measures for the lower division of Agbrigg , ( exclusive of tbe manor of " WateSeld . ) appeared to substantiate thirty informations against individuals having short and unstamped weights . The cases were pr incipally from the townships of Mirfield and Batley , and a more base sarnpli of weights Mr . L . observed be never saw come before a court . The penalties -raried from 10 s . to 40 s .. and a conviction wa = obtained on each information ! It is very erroneously supposed by many people , that the amount of the convictions goes to Mr . Ledger ; this is quite a mistake ; the amount after paying
expenses , is transmitted to the treasurer of the Riding . On Monday the convictions amounted to £ 18 5 s ., out of which tbe magistrates' clerks received £ 9 10 s ., and Mr . Ledger for bis attendance , 10 s . 6 d . ; the rest was added to the county stock . Mr . Ledger did not in any of tbe cases press for a conviction . It is a great protection to the public , to have the parties who are guilty of selling short weight brought into open court , where their petty peculations aTe exposed , and we certainly feel inclined for the future to give a list of their names and occupations . Mr . Ledger is well suited for his office , as he combines firmness with eoo . nes ? of manner , and Ms method of conducting bis business appeared to give great satisfaction to the Bench . —YorkCourant .

poor man was taken np insensible , and has spit blood ever since . ' On Monday , he called on the ruffian , thinking that sobriety might have-restored him to something- like the feelings of a man . He was received with a volley of abuse from the soldier and hi ? We , and a threat that the assault should be repeated if he did not instantly quit the house .

Anti-Slav bbtMbbting . — "There are none so blind as tiiose that will not see , " On Monday last a public meeting was held in the Old Assembly Room , Talbot Inn , in this town , convened by advertisement . The subject for discussion or animadversion , was the abolitv n of the Apprenticeship Act connected witti " the West India Negroes , on which occasion , the property-possessing gentlemen attended rankand file , in order to display their zeal for the liberation of those distressed and oppressed "human beings . The time appointed for the meeting to take place was eleven o ' clock in the lorenoon , and though seats were placed for the accommodation of the ladies and gentlemen who attended , the room in no instance appeared to have any thing like a fnll attendance up to two o ' clock in the afternoon Mr . Samuel Hodgson occupied the chair . The speakers upon the occasion consisted mainly of the ministers of different denominations connected with
dissent ; and the flow of language which followed was of that general description which is usually attendant on those who learn to speak from art . The Rev . "W . Bnnting spoke at considerable length in explanation of the proceedings which had taken place with respect to our Government and the Colonial Legislature , showing , in- a clear and convincing manner , their ntter incapacity to manage pnblie matters , ifwh ^ t he said respecting them be true ; for it would appear that they got up orders or regulations in such a way , at home , that when they send them off to the Colonies for their adoption , they have nothing else to do but live in joyful expectation of tberr being sent back again , because the
platters are not expected to approve of them , as they contain instructions which are opposed to their interests . The Rev . Gentleman spoke with great effect and force on the twenty millions of money paid by this country to the planters , and showed most clearly that it had been a one-sided bargain altogether , as bo one had received any benefit from it but the planters themselves , as the negrces have been made fnll worse and not better by the change . This gentleman professed himself to he a Conservative in politics , but to-what extent he did not sufficiently explain , though be said he would take that opportunity of correcting a certain Conservative newspaper which had called him and others " agitators , "
because of the prominent part they had taken in respect to the question they had then on hand ; but he would also add that they were " agitatcrs ' too , in every thing that pleased them , or of which they approved , and were very industrious ones also when they had any particular object to carry . It would be difficult to reconcile this gentleman ' s politics with that clear-sighted and distinct view he takes of the manner and mode adopted in exposing the acts of the British Legislature , with regard- to these poor Negroes ; for on this question he seems to have the most clear and distinct ideas . \ Vhat are the planters bat Conservatives , who are using every means in tbeir power to preserve their property , even that
which rests in the slaves themselves ? and what was the consenting to pay twenty millions of money , but a compromise to villany , or a sanctioning thatslaves could be made property by purchase , though that property was stolen . The robbery of the planters is most apparent , by the encouragement they give to the white villains for stealing the blacks ; " and the compromise above alluded to was a sanctioning of the pr inciple . How could these Christum advocates expect otherwise than that these wholesale robbers on the community would make the best of their ill-gotten pelf , and that having obtained the Christians consent , ( as they call themselves ) to the twenty millions of English money
they ( the planters ) would use it for their own personal emoluments and future advantage agreeable to the old adage , "if there wtreno receivers there would be no thieves . " The description given by the different speakers on our legislative enactments went to shew , in a most convincing mnnner , the sordid selfish views of our legislators and the paramount interest tney have at heart on all occasions , viz . : to protect property at the risk of the life , liberty , and happiness of millions of human beings . Yet these kind reasuners on the miseries endured by the poor negroes in forei
gn climes , scarce ever utter a thought on the Subject of home distresses , or tbe manacles that are worn by their own countrymen . Are foreign vices " of more importance in their estimation than " those of home growth , or the pbilenthTopy displayed towards cegro misery of a more exquisite kind , than that which ought to be felt in commisserating the lusz condition of hundreds of our fellow beings which are pining away in want and misery at home ? Is it more philanthropbie to visit the shores of India , in seorch of distress , than to trv to cure the evils which
exist in our own country ? They all flow from the same source , competition ; and the avaricious disposition manifested by the "West Indian planter is of the same kind , as that displayed by tbe lord of the loom , or of the soil in our own country . "We need not stir from onr own doors to witness the evils which naturally spring out of competitive life , for every evil that exists in what is called civil society ., or that of any other , springs out of it ; and there are no sins but what may be traced to that very source . Rapine , murder , and death , are the off > pring of the same principle . The meeting was adjourned from the Old Assembly Eooin , to Hanover-street Chapel , Cross-lane ; where the enemies of slavery again
met at half-past six o ' clock in the evening . A Mr . Scoble , a gentleman who had been on a missi onary excursion to the " West Indies , along with Mr . Sturges , the distingusbed missionary , addressed the meeting , at very considerable length , in the course of which he gave some very affecting details of the sufferings and privat ions the negroes have to undergo , whilst they are under the lash of the white faced villains who are set over them , and who have gone over there from different pans of Europe , in order to obtain a livelihood , bv becoming devils in the exercise of the lash upon those poor unoffending race of human being ? . The details given by this gentleman , of the siehts which he said he haa
witnessed , were of the most horrifying description ; and , as described by him , would justify a revolt on the part of the negroes , if it even went to the sweeping off from the face of the earth all the white-faced vermin that infest those parts , and the burning up of the plantations altogether . "Evil communications corrupt good manners ; " and is England—Christianized England—in alliance with those parts ? They say she is , and that some of her legislators have interest arising from that stolen property . " O shame where is thy blush !'' Resolutions were put and carried unanimously , and a petition founded thereon is to be sent , for presentation , to the two Members for Halifax .

Inquests . —On Monday , an inquest was held at the Church ! Steps Public House } over the infant body of Benjamin Binns ; which had been found suffocated in bed . It appeared that the mother of the child was giveB to indulge in intoxicating liquors , and that on the night the child died , she had gone to bed The
tipsy . surgeon , who examined the child , gave it as his opinion that no one had laid upon it , but it had , from some means or other , got turned upon its face in bed , and was thus smothered . The Jury returned a verdict in accordance with this opinion ; and the coroner severely reprimanded the mother . — On the same day a Jury was summoned to meet at Thornton , to enquire into the death of a mason , who had fallen from off the top of an house , whilst engaged in pulling down a chimney .

Infirmary Officers . —It appears that a hot canvass is goiag on , for some appointment which ; is supposed , will arise out of some new arrangements by the trustees , at their next meeting . Whether the contemplated arrangements will be made or not , is matter of doubt , for it is rumoured on good authority that no alteration will he made until a new Infirmary be built .

, after each of which , collections were made towards repaying the churchwardens the balance due to them . The collections amounted to about £ 80 . The churchwardens want £ 190 . l ? s . lid . The collection in the church last year , for the same purposej amounted to £ / 4 ; and the year before to . £ 54 . The expenses incurred by the churchwardens amount to about £ 145 a-year .

An Impudent Thief . —David Neale , of Calverley , was brought up at the Court House , on Monday , charged with stealing a pair of drab velveteen men ' s trowsers , belonging to William Greenwood , of Northowram , from a stall in the market bazaar , on Saturday night last . From the evidence it appeared that Jane Holgate , who keeps a confectioner's stall next to Greenwood , about half past nine o ' clock observed the prisoner , who was in company with two other young men , pull tbe trowsers off a nail on which they were bung , at the end of Greenwood ' s stall . The string by which they were tied up broke , and they fell upon the ground , upon which prisoner took them up and put them under his coat , and walked past her stall . She followed and seized him , upon which he dropped the trowsers and also a pair of worsted stockings . ' Win . Hunter came to her assistance , and prisoner was
secured till a constable came up . She had particularly noticed prisoner before he took the trowsers , from seeing him attempt to steal some India silk handkerchiefs from Plunket ' s stall . It seems th ; it the prisoner had been a depredator rather in the wholesale line , as the stockings he let fall when seized were sworn to by Charlotte Audsley , who keeps a stall in the baznar . She stated they had been on her stall the same evening . She knew them well , as they had lain there nearly four years . The pri > oner was committed to take bis trial at the sessions for the offence .
Bobby the Buck Rat . —A laughable occurrence took place lately , at au inn , not 100 miles from Bradford . —Being infested with ruts , the cook spread some nice slices of bread with butter , and strewed mercury over it . She then placed the slices on the top of a cupboard much haunted by the vermin . Bobby , the ostler , was ,-as all ostlers are , a knowing cove , and knew buttered peas from sheep ' s trundles , and was particularly fond uf thuiity bit ? , which he gulped with double zest when dexterously prigged . Knowing full well that those jades , the ' ¦ ' ¦ gals , " had a similar liking , and had better command of the pantry , he made it his constant
practice to arise by first crow of cock , and range over the house in quest of . goose . legs , chicken breasts , and other titbits , which the " -gals '' might have prigged and stowed by . One morning , while thus employed , he fell in with the slices above mentioned . " Ah ! whata treat , "—" must be something capital . " quickly went the whole to Bellyihire faster than by steam fnnveyunce . Bobby fell ill—told what he had taken—the doctor cairn " , and pumped hi- ; stomach , and no ill effects ensued . But _ the " gals" laughed heartily , and tell long tales" of their having caught Bolby ' a bouncing buck rat . — York Courant .
Radical Innovators . —On the afternoon of Sunday last , your Correspondent , led . by curiosity , ent to a large room used \ rj a body of men calling themselves Socialists , as their place of rendezvous , where they seek to extend themselves , their views , pr inciples , and pursuits in the ordinary way of lecturing , preaching , expounding , &c , and the extraordinary way of tea-drinking , dancing , and other kinds of festivities . This sect holds that the whole fabric of society is built upon , or rather is the , offgrowth of false and pernicious principles , from which fundamental fallacies spring the multitudinous evils which desolate society . " The religious and political institutions of the world , -ue all founded upon
falsehood , and are opposed to man ' s happiness ; so also are the civil and social arrangements of the world . " 1 hese institutions and arrangements they propose to supersede by others , which , in theircstimation , would be productive only of happiness and satisfaction , and would usher in an era which would prove to men a realization of the millennium . This sect is rapidly increasing its members , ami accumulating funds for a practical development of it « views ; with these funds they propose , in the course of a few months , purchasing an extensive estate for the establishment of its first family community . A subscription to
the funds of £ 50 per member , as is believed , will enable them to become their own landlords and capitalists , and will deliver them from want and the fear of want . The afternoon lecture was listened to by a very crowded , and apparently , very respectable and well satisfied audience . Fifty or sixty then sat down to a very comfortable tea ' , at tLe low charge of fourpence per head . In the evening the room was crowded to suffocation ; there must have been present seven or eight hundred persons ; and the anti-popular , anti-religious , and novel , social doctrines of the new sect appeared to be imbibed with tbe greatest avidity .
Church Endowments , Proposed Extension of the Principle of Compulsory Support to Religious Teachers and Observances . —On Monday evening last , between five and six hundred persons assembled in the Odd Fellows' Hall , to listen to an address from the Rev . John Robson , ( one of the deputation for the general body of tbe Dissenters of Scotland ) , on the impolicy and injustice of the contemplated assistance from the Public Treasury , to the Established Church of Scotland . The object of the address was to supply information on the subject and to open the eves of
the English public ^ to a project which would be the beginning of a fresh series of Ecclesiastical taxes , and would render it impossible to forsee where tbe appropriation of public money to such objects would stop . The address was powerful and eloquent in the extreme . It combined nearly all the graces of oratory—ample informrtion—sound argumentation —wit—and vivacity , and a nervousness and energy of title truly captivating . In the conclusion of his address , he stated that he had no fears as to the ultimate issue . " He was convinced that eventually their principles must be successful . Of this they were assured by the history of all past ages .
Freedom s cause bequeathed from bleeding sire to son , Thongh baffled oft , is ever won . As well might our rulers endeavour to roll back the waves of the ocean , or to arrest the onward progress of the vivid lightnings , or to cause the skies no longer to pour the fertilizing shower upon the earth , ' as to check the march of truth . Truth is mighty , and must prevail ; and having struck fetter after fetter from the human mind , she seems now to be collecting all her energies to strike the last and decisive blow . " He called upon the public of Bradford , to co-operate with their Scotch brethren , to prevent the proposed violation of their most cherished principles .

The charmed townsfolk have fonnd it almost impossible to refuse submission to such fair claimants .

New Factory Bill . —Men of the milts , and men out of the mills , are nearly alike involved in this question of the rights of labour . Then arouse your suspicions , awaken from your slumbers , for the wolf is alread y at your threshhold ! A new Bill , which destroys the power of the working many from protecting themselves is just proposed . Then be up and doing ! Meet in every mill , and in every town , village , and hamlet immediately , and remonstrate against the Whig trick . The Bill is to be read a second time on the 7 th of May ; there is no time jto lose . Then agitate ! agitate ! agitate for short hours , and a moderate day's work for a good day ' y wages !
Remarkable Incident . —On Sunday last , a poor widow woman , named Denton , aged 90 years , who resides at Kirkheaton , near Huddersfield , was sitting by the fire , one of her eyes began to water , and almost instantly dropped out of its socket on to her knee , and then rolled into the ashes , and burst . Previous to this , the eye was quite perfect and good . A Few Hints vor the Servants of the Pooh Law Ceiiberus .- After the triumph of tho anti-Poor Law Association before the Huddersfield Bench of Magistrates , on Tuesday , it only remains for tbe ' several townships to-com « prepared with good evidence , on Monday , the 6 th of Mav . to the
meeting of Guardians , to show to the world that the late election has not onl y been a farce , but a real Whig juggle , from the beginning to the end . In Hoiiley , where it was conducted with comparative fairness , but with a strong spirit of partizanship , all the three overseers have been fined , and are to pay the expenses of the trial ; and -while such a decision has - been given , where persons on both sides did really take an account of votes , what must be the result of nn inquiry iute the case of Wooldale , where the Bastile Jacks-in-office , and one or two of their own kidney , did actually carry oft the voting papers to some secret hiding place , ( refusing even to aflov ? the churchwarden , who is the first overseer , to have whatever to
anything do with it ); and afterwards , as might have been , and was expected , made alretum of two determined supporters of the New Law •? I hose fellows profess to be admirers of the law , and are the first to break it . They have crept underneath the wing of the treble headed Devil Kuiff , and they are the first to break , his orders . It now devolves upon the rate-payers to see , and they are determined to see , that they obey the commandu of their masters , whom they profess to serre . The next meeting of Guardians is to be expressly for the Purpose ofexamining into those matters , and the Graveshi p of Holme has resolved to do its duty ., / Good evidence is not to seek . Meltnam , and Lmtbwaite , and Lockwood , andiGolcar , and Slaithwaite ,-and Longwood , and Huddersfield , VV tags and
Whiglings must either obey their masters ' " rules and regulations , " or pay the . piper ; and , in the interim , they are advised to take a retrospective glance , to correct their decisions , to put tUp saddle onthe right horse , or prepare for the consequence , iheymustnotexpect that their masters will ; orcan torgive the glaring disobedience of orders laid down for their own servants to follow ; never did a set of men enter upon any service with more good will ; never ^ ° ?™ , ^^ ngl y . engage to do their master's work ; if they , did so with the intention of breaking the ^ orders , and instructions of their masters , then h ^ ^ H H ^ ^ > ™ a «^ t and win The S ^ n * £ & >** .

Akcient Shepberds . —On Thursday , April 19 th , the officers of the Ossett district of the Lyyal Order of Ancient Shepherds , of the Ashton Unity , opened a Lodge at the House of Mr . William Moore , the Coach and Horses Inn , South Church , near Bishop Auckland , in the county of Durham , when a number of members were initiated ; and there is every prospect of the Order flourishing in that part , on account of the Order being carried on with economy . The persons who became members were greatly satisfied with the information they received . "
Ancient Romans .- On Monday last , the members of the Court Brutus Senate of the . Ancient order ot Romans held their anniversary , at the house of Mr . "William Render , the , Fleece Inn Dewsbury , when the members and visiting brethren sat down to a most substantial dinner , which did great credit to the worthy host and hostess . Previous to the departure of the members , the district officers communicated the pleasing intelligence that no less that 250 persons had made application for dispensations within the present month .
Ringing Unparalleled . —A few days ago , the Society Ringers of the Parish Church , Mirfield , rung 720 true changes ? of a treble bob peal , in five regular parts , with twenty bobs and extremes , at the full treble lead ends . It is the most regular method ever composed on a treble peal , upon six bells , to the full extent of changes . The peal was conducted by Mr . Samuel Lister , an ! composed by Mr . Benjamin Thackrah , of Dewsbury .
HULL . Pastor \ l Aid Society . —A sermon , in aid of this society , was preached in St . John ' s Church , on Wednesday evening last . A collection in aid of the funds was made , but we have not heard the
amount . Sabbath Lecture .-On Sunday evening last , a lecture , on the Peculiar Sanctity of tbe Christian Sabbath , was delivered in Bethel Chapel , Hull , by the Rev . W . Hill . The lecturer took , as the basis of his discourse , the fourth Commamlm . eii-t— "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy ; " and it is probable the Pharisaical Sabbatarians have seldom had so severe a castigation as he bestowed upon them . Abiding closely by the letter of the sacred Scriptures , he evinced the hollowness and the antichristian character of . the outcry of fanaticism for increased legal powers , pains , penalties , and
imprisonments , in order " to further the observance of the Sabbath . The lecture wi . s avowedly in support of the Sunday school connected with Bethel Chapel , and rthich has brought down on the heads of its conductors no small share of censure from the " righteous overmuch , " because the children of the poor are allowed a little writing in it . Every single argument that can be brought against this system vva < tiiken up , and answered by Mr . Hill , who proved most clearly , from the united testimony of reason and scripture , that the only proper way of sanctif and
ying keeping holy the Sabbath is by performing thereon all manner of good works of charity and use . The lecture produced a very evident impress-ion on a very attentive congregation " ; and we understand that Mr . H . has consented , to very pressing solicitations , to have it published , for the benefit of the school on behalf of which it was preached . We believe it will appear very shortly , and we anticipate for it a very extensive circulation , as it certainly forms a perfect answer to the cantings of fanatics on this much abused subject .
Jane Wai . lworth , widow of the late Mr . James Wullwortb , Surgeon , West-street ^ Hull , begs to apprise tbe numerous friends of her late husband , and the public generally , of Hull and its vicinity , that she continues the Drug Business so successfully carried on b y her late husband , and hopes-that her long and extensive experience will recommend her to their confidence ; while she feels perfectly assured that a respect for / us memory , and an interest in the well-being of his family , will be regarded as a clear title to their patronage and support . Drugs and Chemicals ; Oils and Dyewoodsof every description , and of the finest quality . Physicians' Prescriptions carefully and accurately compounded .
A Hopeful Youth . —Thomas Flint , apprentice ^ to Mr . Humphrey , ship-builder , was charged with being a disurderl ' y apprentice , and neglecting bis master ' s service . Mr . H . Wished the indentures to be cancelled , as he should never be able to do him any good ; but to this the apprentice refused to giv 3 his consent , and the charge was gone into from which it . appeared that the defendant was very often intoxicated and absent from his work . During the last six months he had been absent 110 davs and at work 4 C . On Easter Monday he went ' to work , but was not not near the yard all the week after . In his defence he treated the matter with
the utmost levity , and said he was ordered out of the yard on Monday ; but he would make up bis lost time when his apprenticeship was expired . The Mayor told him , if he went on as he had begun , he would be an old man before he was at liberty ; his conduct had been so bad , that the magistrates were bound to punish him . He was to be sent to hard labour at the tread-mill for one month . On hearing this , all his courage forsook him , and he said he would have the indentures cancelled ; lie would go and speak to Mr . Humphrey . The Mayor refused to allow him to do so ; observing , that he had made his election , and he should stand by it . He might make what terms he could with his master when he got out of prison .

Church IUte , CrOmpton . —On Thursday weekj a meeting of the rate-payew of Crompton was called to consider the propriety of laying a rate for tbe "by law established '' chapel at Shaw . ^ On the two preceding Sundays ,-a notice-paper was placed on the chapel-dbor , as the law requires , but was not suffered to temain tibere long . The party that wanted the rate , ; were too long-sighted to be incapable of discoveririg that , if it rerriained there long , it would upset their whole design : they knew * that if the eye of the ^ . public saw it no rate could be gPt ; and therefore , if the organist and the choir were paid , they must pay them themselves . On the day of meeting the Tories mustered in full strength some time before the announced
period for the commencement of the meeting , v A chairman was appointed before they entered the chapel , and therefore they never asked the meeting whether they would accept of him or not . ^ ow ^ aU was hurry , bustle , and confusion . They . dreaded the approach of the . » Rads . " and pushedon to business , as they : called it , before the appointed time . « Proceed to business ^ ' was ; the cry ; Get the work done . " Every second was to them an hour . Well , but by and bye , the " Rads " came , and a few reached the door just before the motion for a rate was put , and demanded for the accounts to be read' but they were told that the accounts were nothing to them . The chairman put the motion , amid loud cries , of " Read the accounts . '
" You are ashamed of reading them . " The motion was put , and very few being present , the time fixed for : the beginning of the meeting not having arrived ; the show of hands was for the rate . The '' Rads " began now to flock in , and as the . chairman had not been elected by the meeting , in the usual way , and had refused to grant a scrutiny , they entered the chapel again and adjourned the meeting till the following day , when the rate-payers again assembled , but found the chapel-doors locked against them . They remained and held a meeting on the ground , and were addressed at considerable length by Mr . " William Taylor , who strenuously advised the ' . ratepayers to insist on their rights , which had evidently been glaringly violated .
BLACKBURN . Primitive Methodist Society . —On ¥ riday the 13 th inst ., a public tea party was held in the School-room belonging to the above society , which was tastefully decorated with evergreens . After the tables were cleared and a chairman appointed / the audience were addressed , in interesting and appropriate speeches , by ministers and friends connected with the school , illustrative of the utility of Sunday school instruction .
