THE LATE ARRESTS . " We warn the public tlifct the pretest prosecutions at the special commission * ttill ^ le made the groundwork of future apis of'Parliament . - ' ** But what ia it that we find passing around us ! Is it not the realteition . of that , which we long since prophesied , as the inevitable consequence of Toryism being triumphant ? The re-appearance of political spies—the harsh treatment of political offenders . We do not , of course , refer to the sentences passed upon those convicted of having violated the law—and that a jury of their countzymen . hare determined on their oaths , are liable for their misconduct to the animad-Tersion of the legally constituted tribunal ? . What we refer to , is the treatment of persons arrested on a partkubn charge—that charge being for a political crime , and -when all that Is required is their safe " THE LATE ARRESTS .
keeplDg by the poliee , until they are bronght before a magistrate , for the purpose of either being bailed , or of being identified as the persons against whom certain proceedines at law , are about to be taken When , as in the case of Mr . Feargns O'Connor , or the Rev . Wm . Hill , the charge against them was solely or » political description , it might be expected with regard to the one , that directions should have been given by Sir Robert Peel or Sir James Graham , that be who had been a member of Parliament , and their equal , should have been treated , considering bis health and his habits , and the courtesy due to a gentleman , and as respects the other , that he from his situation , the editor of a newspaper—and by profession a Christian minister , might have met
with some courtesy , some tenderness , some delicacy . Has this been done with regard to either ? No . Instead of that it is sickening to go through the details of the t ; eatment experienced by Mr . O Connor ; and as to the Rev . Wo . HU 1 we find that he was manacled aa if he were a common felon !! ! What ! any man , no matter what his situation or condition in life , to have the handcuffs of a criminal placed upon him , upon the mere charge of a misdemeanour , would be disgraceful to those "who had sanctioned such a proceeding ; but thus to treat a gentleman and a clergyman is , we have no hesitation in saying it , most infamous —it is the pure Toryism of cruelty—it is the very brutalitj of cowardice . If we are not greatly mistaken the instructions to the police constables were grossly violated in the case of the ReT . Win . Hill , for those
instructions as well as we recollect , are to this effect : — "' Prisoners should be handcuffed , if they b 3 charged with any serious offence , or if they be persons of notoriously bad or suspicious character , or if there be any reasonable doubts to apprehend an escape , or rescue . Females , or old , or infirm prisoners , are not to be handcuffed . ' " " In what respect did the Rev . Mr . Hill come within the category of the individuals who might be bandenfled . The charge againBt him was not a felony , which is , we suppose , in the mind of the constable tantamount to a serious offence . He could not be said to be an individual of a notoriously bad , or suspicious character , and there were no grounds to apprehend an escape or rescue . Even supposing the charge
against him to amount to bit ^ h treason , we do not see , in the preliminary stage , the necessity for placing handcuffs upon him , unless there was the apprehension of a rescue . We admit the policeman ' s first duty is , to secure tai safe custody of the prisoner . That it was in the power of the Leeds cocstabulatory to have effected , without placing a manacle upon that hand , which n . ust be so often uplifted in prayer . We know nothing of the Rev . Mr . Hill personally , — we have never seen him—and as to ' his political opinions , we think them most miscbifcvous , and have sedulously exposed them ; but still we cannot avoid Easing , that we read with feelings of the deepest indignation the treatment that he experienced from those who were the mere instruments of Tory powtr . By such conduct as this Toryism has not degraded him ; but it has laid in store for itself a deep and growing accumulation cf the public seom and detestation . That
base miscreant , Louis Philippe , thought he cou . a . lower the character of the press by sending his victims , the editors of the Toulouse papers , chained by the neck together through France . Never did we expect that English Tories wonld have copied the vile example of Lonis Philippe . They have done so—and while Louis Philippe sits but upon a tottering throne , we tell Sir Robert Peel that the British Press will never forget , will never forgive the indignity to journalism , ¦ which he has sanctioned in the treatment of the Rev . Mr . Hill . That editor ' s manacle shall yet be dashed against the frail and corrupt materials of which bis political strength is composed , and crumble them to pieces . By that one act , he and his myrmidons have violated all the rules of society , and all the courtisies of political warfare , and henceforth war is declared between them—he must put down the press , or the press will put him down .

Metallic Corpses . —A paper was read at the late meeting of the Paris Academy of Sciences , containing the extraordinary proposition from a M . Carney , to employ the galvanoplastic process , after embalmment , for the preservation of the human bod y after death ! The idea , however extraordinary it my appear , is said not to be new , and that beautiful specimens are to be seen of small animals , birds , insects , &c . which have been thus preserved . The Murder of Mr . Broomhead . —Evidence tas now been obtained which throws strong light on the fate of this gentleman . Our readers will recollect that he left Brill , on his way for Bicester , which place he did not reach , as expected , about the 1 st of October , 1841 . He represented the house of
Broomhead , sickle and reaping-hook manufacturer , Rigway , near Sheffield . Several days after he left Brill information was given by a young man of the name of Penn , that the body had been found in the river Ray near Blackthorn . It was removed to Arccot ! ., r > , coroners' inquisition was held , and a verdict of "Found drowned" returned . Only five sovereigns , with some silver , and his books of account were found on him . His watch and monies , amounting to between £ 300 and £ 400 , were missing Evidence was obtained , and three persons , Ezekiel Savage 3 Dd two brothers of the name of Penn ( one of whom gave the report of the finding of the body ) were apprehended . The Ptnn 3 were sons-in-law of Savage ^ That Mr . Broomhead had come to an unlimely end no doubt was entertaiaed—that he had been
murdered was the general belief . The parties were to havest aken their tmls for the robbery at the March As ? : zss , at Oxford , in 1842 . One of the most material witnesses for tbe prosecution at the time of the trial was ill , a certificate to that effect was produced , and the bill against the parties was thrown out . Subsiquent circumstances tended Btill more srronei ? o lead to the supposition that Mr . William Broomhead had been a murdered man . Of course , on the bill being thrown out , Savage and the two Peuus wore released . On Saturday last , Inspector J . Melton , of ihe city of Oxford police , received icformation in Oxford of the most valuable description . The witness was taken before the magistrates , and privately examined at the County Hall : from
his evidence warrants were granted against Thomas CoL'iss , of Aston , near Bampton , Oxon , and Ezekiel Savate ( who had been before in custody on the charge ) . Savage was apprehended at Blackthorn , by Gobie , one of the Bicester constabulary . ColHss was apprehended "by Inspector Melton , at Aston . On Sunday the prisoners were examined at Merton College , before Dr . Marsham , and remanded till last Monday morning . A warrant w ^ s also issued for the apprehension of a third party . On Monday the men were again remanded till Saturday ( this day . ) The evidence already obtained leaves no doubt as to Mr . Broomhead ' s fate : that evidence it would not be prudent to gire in the present state of the proceedings .
Capture op an Outlaw . —Ingenious Concealing Place . —An individual of the name oi' Forbes who was outlawed sometime ago , and whom wo mentioned some weeks since as being suspected of various thefts in Strathspey , was apprehended the other day by Mr . Macbean . He was found at his father ' s , in Lymereach of Dalraddy , parish of Alvie , concealed in a mo 3 t ingenious manner . A large peat stack , at the end of the house , apparently solid and substantial , had a chamber formed in its centre , in which the outlaw had his residence . There was
no visible opening , but the means of entrance was a matter of too much importance to be disclosed to every casual gazer . In the back of the prisoner ' s bed was a board , capable of being drawn out at pleasure , and , behind it , aa aperture made in . the wall gave admission to the fugutive into his subterraDPan residence , whither he escaped on the slightest warning . He was suspected , however , of being in the neighbourhood , and at length the suspicion lighted on the proper place , and led to his apprehension . —Rossshire Advertiser .
English Newspapers in China . —An English newspaper has been lately established in Hongkong ; called the Hongkong Gazette , and conducted by a gentleman until recently residing in London . It is intended soon to commence one in the Chinese language ^ Indeed , the Gazette sometimes contains extracts in that strange and extraordinary language . The Chinese are represented as very anxious and persevering in their efforts to learn English , as well as to learn all relating to this country . The Rural Police . —At the General Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday at Lewes , fifty-seven petitions from various parishes in East Sussex were presented to the magistrates for the abolition of the rural polioe foree . SeTeral of them referred to the inefficiency of tbe system , aad the enormous expence enUiled upon the ooanty . The petitioners also urged that the Parish Constables' Act , just come into operation , was amply sufficient for the protection of the rural district .
Rather Ukcoimos . —Two females have been committed to the Ruthin gaol daring the present week upon charges somewhat unusual , at least , against the softer sex , viz ., Amelia House , charged on the oath of John Roberts with feloniously firing & pistol at him , at Wnxham , with intent to do him some grievous bodily barm . Also Jane Williams , committed on the oath of Robert Owen , for having stolen a mare in the parish of Lantisilio , on the 7 th instant , tbe property of tbe said Robert Owen . — Carnarvon Herald .

NOTTINGHAM QUARTER SESSIONS , OCTOBER 18 th . ( FEOM OUE OWN EEPORTEB , ) ( Before Col . Rolleston , M . P ., Chairman , Thomas Nixon , Esq ., W . Sberwin , Efq ., Rev . R . Lowe , W . H . Barrow , Esq ., W . F . Norton , Esq ., and Capt . Salmond . ) The prisoners , charged with riotously and tumultuously assembling , were arraigned this morning ; for thoueh a memorial had been forwarded to Sir James Graham , to allow them to be tried at the assizes , on account of Colonel Rolleston having been actively engaged in their apprehension ; and also , at the time of their committal , said that they ( meaning himself and brother magistrates ) were deteemiked to make a severe example of some of them " and it was evident he had prejudged their case—but
in these days of impartiality it was not attended to . He appears to bethought quite efficient to be police man , judge , and jury . The following sentences were passed -. —William Stevenson , Edward Joynes , Jonathan Brown , Richard Doubleday , John Tibbs , James Garless Hannay , Joseph Leggett , Josiah Holt , William Anthony , and John Wall , to be imprisoned six months in Southwell House of Correction , and kept to hard labour ; at the end of which time to find two sureties in £ 10 each , and themselves in £ 20 , to keep the peace for two years .

LEEDS . —Charge of Assault . —On Saturday last , Mr . Bobert Perring , late proprietor of tha Conservative Journal , appeared before Griffith Wright and J . R . Atkinson , Esqrs ., at the Court House , on a warrant oharging him with haying committed an assault upon Mr . Griffith Cullingwbrth , bookseller , Briggate . According to the statement of the complainant , he , accompanied by the clerk of Mr . Naylor , solicitor , went to the shop of Mr . Perring , in Commercial-street , to demand the payment of the rent due to Mr . CulHngworth , tbe former tenant of tho premises , who bad sublet them to Mr . Perring . Having stated the errand on which they had visited him , Mr . Perring commenced a volley of abuse , and reaching over the counter , seized hold of complainant's nose , like a monkey , and exhibited LEEDS . —Charge or Assault— On Sating
in its pulling , all the ferocity of the tiger . In answer to an enquiry from the bench , Mr . Culliiigworth stated that the premises belonged to Mr . Luke Marsh , but , at the close of bis tenantcy , hehad sublet them to Mr . Perring ; consequently , the rent was due to him , and not to Mr . Marsh . Mr . Perxiug , in reply to the charge , denied that he had pulled complainant ' s nose ; he had done nothing beyond attempting to get hold of it ; but had he done so , or given him ten times as much as he had done , Mr . Cullingworth was aware that he deserved it all . He then went into a statement of the cause of the quarrel , which he attributed to the fact that Mr . Culling worth had made statements to the' rato colloctors whioh had caused him to be summoned to thai court for rates . He had applied to Mr . Marsh on the subject of the rent in dispute , and offered him the amount , but he refused to take it , * and for fixtures , whioh he had paid Mr . CulHngworth . £ 42
for , he had offered to let him have back again for £ 20 , and now would let him have them for £ 15 , a proof that Mr . Cullingworth had imposed upon him . He had been told by Mr . Marsh that Mr . Cullingworth had gone about sneaking with these tales , and telling every body he came near that he was going to leave the town and cheat the public . He denied emphatically that he was going away without paying everything due from him , and let those who could come there and say what they wanted of him , and he would pay them . Mr . C . had gone sneaking abont the premises in all sorts of ways , and had done all that he couid to injure him . This was the provocation he had received , and this led to the attemptand it was no more than an attempt he had made to pull Mr . Callingworth's nose , a punishment , which he richly deserved . The Bench having consulted together , fined Mr . Perring 10 s . and costs , and the parties left the court .
Thb Difficulties of Poveety overcome by the Yoluntary Principle—On Sunday laat , sermons were preached in the Primitive Methodist Rehobotb Chape ) , St . Peter ' s Hill , Park-lane , Leeds ; in the morning and evening by the Rev . J . Fiesher , from Scarbofough ; and in the afternoon , and on the Monday evening following , by the Rev . T . Holliday , of Leeds ; when the liberal sum of upwards of £ 166 was collected in aid of the funds of the Chapel , it being about £ 112 more than the anniversary collections of the previous year . Stealing a Watch . —On Tuesday last , a man named John HartJey , was committed for trial at the sessionF , oji a charge of having stolen a silver ' wa . ch , on tha 20 th of June last , the property of Admiral Crew , a briokmaker , in Woodhouse-laiie .
Animal Politics . —What sort of politics these may be we acknowledge ourselves unable to determine . We perceive , however , that the good people of Leeds are to be edified upon this subject , in conneotion with the Natural History of Scripture , on Monday and Wednesday evenings next , at the Chartist Room , Cheapside , by Mr . W . D . Taylor . We have no doubt that the lecturer will succeed in making his discourses amusing and interesting , as well as edifying . Municipal Movements . —• West Ward . —The Whigs , and the " Extension of Commerce , " and the Sturge Suffrage men seem at their wit ' s end in this ward . They have tried all the soft sawder they are so well masters of , and yet they cannot find a genuine Whig wko will lead their forlorn hope , nor can .
they persuade " the lads" to ba gammoned with anything less than straight-forward men who declare their sentiments without disguise , and who sptak so plainly that there can be no mistaking what thuy mean from what they say . They have in the field Dr . Craven , of Holbeck , and Mr . George Morton , paper stainer . As a third man they first tried Mr . T . T . Luccock , of course a respectable gentleman , and proposed by Mr . E . Baines , jun . Mr . Luccock , however , did not like his company : he remembered the old adage , "Tell me who are your companions , and I will tell you what you are . " Well , Mr . Luccock having refused , another meeting was held on Monday night last , at which Mr . Darnton Lupton , a Russell justice , was the great gun , and he , yes he , had a candidate of the right sort ,
but one who would only stand on condition that the Reformers were united ; ho could not * act if questions were to be asked , and it he were to be called upon to announce his peculiar views of the requisite qualifications for the office of a Town Councillor . The candidate he proposed ' . was Mr . Waddingham . But at this meeting another candidate was proposed , for the " Lads" had determined to have some say in the matter , and they at once brought out Mr . Joshua Hobson . Here was a bomb shell thrown into the midst of the camp ; and , faith , it fairly blew the wind out of them . Scouts at onco were out in all directions , to draw up their forces , while those left in the meeting kept up a noisy war of words , talking , or rather shouting , against time , until reinforcements arrived , and they were enabled to carry their man by . ' some few votes . Of coursr , however , Mr . Waddingham will not stand , because the meeting was not unanimous . This , we bplieve , his friends know , at least it was
understood that they had so satisfied themselves at a subsequent meeting on Thursday evening , at which he ought to have been present , to have addressed his constituents elect . This latter meeting was very fully attended ; Mr . Hobson was present , and hia wish to address the meeting threw " the respectables" again into hysterics : their behaviour was anything but respectable , but the majority of the meeting being in favour of Mr . Hobson , he spoke for about two hours , and administered to these very respectable gentlemen— 'these gentlemen , who ' arrogate to themselves " all the talents , " such a dressing as they will not soon forget . The other two candidates also spoke , and Mr . Hobson , after answering all the'questions ' Which the meeting chose to put to him , declared his intention of polling to the last man , an announcement which was received with thunders of applause by avast majority of " the very crowded meeting . The Tory candidates for this ward are Mr . Richard Bramley , Mr . John Patrick , and Mr . Newsam , land surveyor .
HuNSLET Ward . —The Tories havo brought put Mr . Beckett , surgeon , to opposo Mr . Arthington , lthe brewer , in this ward . Mr . Hobson is the people's favourite , at ten to one . ; . South Ward . —Mr . France , wharfinger , has been brought out by the Radicals in this ward , in opposition to Mr . Mitchell . Explosion of Firewobks— On Saturday- evening , between eight and niue o ' clock , novae alarm was occasioned in Gower street by an explosion of gunpowder and fireworks , at a house occupied by a widow named Booth , at the lower end of lhatstrcet , next to Regent-street . It appears that Mrs . BootH has a daughter ( also a widow ) named Scholefield , residing with her ; a sou of the latter , Lawrence Scholefield , eighteen years of age ; and two young
men as lodgers . The house is cellared underneath , but this cellar is let off as a separate dwelling , and has no connexion with the house ; but a small cellar extends under a house iu another street e , t the back of Gower-street , called Rose-street . In this small cellar , young Saholefield has been for some time preparing fireworks , and was so employed on Saturday ni ^ rht . He had , it is supposed , about four pounds of gunpowder , besides prepared fire-works in the cellars when by some means , not yet explained , an explosion took place which it is providentially did not result more seriously . Scholefield , it would appear , was on his way up stair . * , when the explosion happened ; whether ho had put his candle out , or still had it iu his hand , wo have not learnt . He was struck by the shook , and has received verv
serious injuries . The floor of the house in Rosestreet , occupied by James Robinson , a cloth-Jrcsser , was torn completely up , and the flags composing it were heaped in a confuted mass against-ihe door ; the wife oi Robinson , with an infant on her knee , was sat by the fire , aud mosJ providentially escaped unhurt , She was obliged to be got out of the window The door and frame of Mrs . Booth ' s house , in Gowcr-street , were blown completely out into the Btreet , all the windows were broken , and th 6 front wall is eo fractured as to render it necessary to take it down ; seme of the bricks , indeed , are broken completely in two , and a large fissure presents itself extending nearly from the ground to tbe roof . Young Scholefield was removed to the Infirmary . On inquiry there , we learn , that though dreadfully
burnt about the face , neck , breast , and arms , he is going on favourably , and hopes are entertained of his ultimate recovery . We ought to have mentioned that his mother , in extinguishing the flames in which he was enveloped , was also much burnt about the hands and arms . Sudden Death—On Saturday hist , an inquest was held at the Court House , before E . C . Hopps , Esq ., deputy coroner , on the body of Henry Worfolk , twenty-two years of age , a cropper , residing whea alive , in Wood-street , Briggate . The deceased left his home on Friday evening about seven o ' clock , aud having met with a female in the street
he went with her to a public-house , and they were drinking together until eleven , after whioh he accompanied her to a house in Jubilee-court , Kirk-§ ate , where they were to pass the night . Between ve and six o'clock on Saturday morning , he was taken bo ill that Mr . Hiddlestone , the house surgeon to the House of Recovery , was sent for , but . before his arrival , whioh was as soon as possible , the man had expired . Mr . Hiddiesione afterwards made a post mortem examination of the body , whioh exhibited only natural appearances , aud the Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the visitation of God . "

HTJNSI » ET . —A publio meeting of the burges ^ of Hunslet " was held on Thursday last , at twek o ' clock at noon ; near the church , at which theh were abont five hundred persons present . The meet ing was called for the purpose of testing the vietr , and principles of the different municipal candidate on local and general government . On the motion j / Mr . John Lynd , seconded by Mr . Francis Jackson . Mr . Thomas Beaumont was unanimously called upon to preside . The chairman opened the busing of the meeting by calling upon Mr . John LyndH read the report of the deputation that had bees appointed to wait npon the candidates to request their attendance , and which was as follows : — " n , depatation having waited npon Mr . ArthiDgton and having asked that gentleman if he would attend the above his x » r » . n . n . . ,,.. „ ....- __ . r * u-
meeting , answer was , ' No , I have no intention to be present at any public meeting ' an j he further stated that he considered it unnecessary to appear before the burgesses at a public meeting Having told him we considered it necessary that every candidate should appear before the burBesaeV m order that a perfect understanding should exist between them , and that the burgesses a ^ hl become acquainted with the views of the candidates and principles on local and general government he replied , that he would not pledge himself what he would do , but he would act according to Mj own discretion . Seeing the indifference he mani fested to the questions we put to him , we thought it our duty to ask him if he had consented to stand m a Whig candidate at the ensuing election ? H . answered , 'No ; they have placed my name upon the orange bills without my consent , in doing whi
I consider they have acted very foolish . I belong to no party of politicians ; in fact , I never bother my head with politics , nor do I consider if a political question at all . ' We then told him our interests as working men were at stake in the choice we made , but that , of course , the most essential quali . fication for a member of the Towa Council was a love of economy . He replied there were different kinds of economy . It was economy some times to BDend a little , and some times a large sum of money We then told him of Whig economy , and referred to the extravagant sum of £ 300 per year which had been given to Mr . Whitehead and another gentleman for performing the same duties Mr . Whitehead himself offered to do for £ 150 a year . Perhaps , ' said he , ' fee
Town Council knew that he could not efficiently dLscharge the duties of the office for so small a sum « £ 150 per year . ' We told him we considered Mr Whitehead sufficiently qualified to judge of tha duties he would have to perform , and to state what he could discharge those duties for . His answer was , ' I know nothing at all of the affair . ' We then left the gentleman , fully convinced that if tha bHrgesses of Hnnslet returned him to the Town Council , they would only have themselves to blame if the rates were treble the amount they are before this day twelvemonth . The deputation then waited upon Mr . Beckett , the Tory candidate , and haviag requested him to attend , he told them he had no
individual objections , but that he was entirely jn the hands of his committee ; the deputation having seen Mr . Heaton . the chairman of his committee , be told them that the committee would not sit till ' the evening after the meeting would take place , so that we could reoeive no further information either from Mr . Beckett or his committee . " The Chairman , after a few observations , then introduced Mr . Joshua Hobson to the meeting , who occupied one hour and a half in amost eloquent , lucid , and energetic speech ; after which , a few questions were asked him by several parties present , to which he gave the most satiBt ' aotpry answers . The meeting then broke upall going away fully convinced that Mr . Hobsoa was the only man for them .

STKANGK PROCEEDINGS AT A MEETING FOR THB CHOICE OP CONSTABLE FOR THE TOWNSHIP OF L 1 VEKSEDGE , AND CHARGE EXTRAORDINARY OF GEORGE BROOKE NELSON , STEWARD OF THE COURT LEET , AT BRADFORD . It has been seldom our lot , as publio journalists , to report more singular proceedings than the followiDg ; and certainly never any which more showed the necessity of the working men having every officer , over whom they have controul in tbe choosing , or STKANGK PROCEEDINGS AT A MEETING FOR
who can in any way affect their intemts , of their own appointing . If they do not look to their own interests , and choose men in whom they have the most implicit confidence , they are sure to have foal play if their interests or wishes come across those of the other class . From this time let there be no mincing the matter about respectability ; let them appoint the humblest individual in the township , if of sufficient capacity to be chairman of their meetings , or they are certain to have any thing but fair play , as the following report will fully demonstrate .
A meeting was held in the vestry of Liversedge Church on Thursday , the 13 th inst , for the purpose of appointing proper persons as constables for the ensuing year , Mr . Joseph Oates in the chair . Previous to the meeting , a certain number of the ratepayers , ' all honourable men , ' finding out that their Dogberry would not be reinstated in his office , if the full sense of the rate-payers were taken , resorted to the following trick , to appear to give notice of the meeting according to the letter of the law , but at the same time to keep the townspeople in ignorance of tho meeting being to take place . The constables , whos * duty ic was to give notice of the meeting , sent one of the deputies with the notice to post at tho church doors , at such a time that it was * after the service had commenced when the notice was put up , ' and he pulled it down before the service bad closed in the thus preventing anybody but one boy , who chanced to be loitering in the churchyard , from knowing anything about the meeting .
The boy told what he had seen , which spread the alarm , and caused a considerable number to muster , to the great chagrin of the concootors of the plot . After the Chairman had opened the business ia the usual way , some questions were asked the constables , for the purpose of censuring their conduct , ' for the insult offered to the rate-payers by their manner of posting the xotice , when one of the deputies , with all the modesty imaginable , told the meeting to its teeth that he had posted the notice after the service had commenced , and pulled it down before it doted ; and that he was not going to come down after dinner to take it down to please them . The Chairman , finding how things were likely to run , here took exception to the legality of the meeting , owing , as he said , to the insufficiency of the notice , and actually entered a resolution in the minute book , stating that the ratepayers had decided that the
meeting was illegal , without the resolution having been put to them ! . This , of course , was objected to , and the Chairman was asked to take the sense of the meeting upon the resolution , which he POSITIVELY REFUSED to do , and declared that he would dissolve the meeting upon his own responsibility . He was begged of to either take the sense of the meeting upon the resolution , or to allow the meeting to proceed , as the Court Leet would swear in constables whether that meeting appointed any or not . But no , nothing would do ; the chairman clearly saw that the meeting would not appoint them a Dogberry , and so he was determined to throw the thing upon the chapter cf accidents . This is almost the first time we ever saw Mr . Joseph Oates sacrifice the man to the altar of the partizan ; and we sincerely hope for his own peace of mind , that it will be the last . i
Upon the chairman vacating the chair , the constable was proposed to take it , but he refused . It was then proposed that James Penny take tbe chair , which was acceded to , and a resolutiou wis passed and entered in the minute book , recommending persons to the Court Lect as constables . The following persons were then proposed : — Joseph Goodall , the old ' constable . Joseph Milnes , as his successor . Mr . Joseph Milnes had twenty-seven votes , and the old Constable had only five votes . The old Constable went to the Court Leet at Bradford , and with all tbe nonchalance imaginable returned himself as constable .
Mr . Penny was there and objected to him on account of his not having been returned by a town's meeting . The Constable then commenced a furious tirade against the Chartists . " It was all a Chartist plot ! The deputy was in league with the Chartists to set fire to the Thames some fine afternoon we suppose . The Deputy and the ChartistB had concocted the plot on pnrpose to make the meeting illegal . " When at the moment he was saying it the truth-telling Constable knew that it was a plot of his own and his colleagues to prevent the ratepayers ousting him from his office .
Mr . Penny here stepped forward , and after adverting to the facts already detailed , said that they were not come there to discuss politics ; this was no question about Whig , Tory , or Chartist , but whether the voice of the assembly of ratepayers should be taken on the recommendation of a constable , or tho voice of an individual ; and that of course the court would dismiss all such considerations from their minds . When Mr . George Brook Nelson , the prusident of tbe court , observed , in all the manner aad spirit of my Lord Abinger , " I graut you , sir , that so far as Whig and Tory goes , it would be quite proper for the jury to dismiss from their minds all political considerations , but that if we advanced a step further , if you went to Chartism , a broad line of distinction must be drawn . " There ! " a Daniel come to
judgment ! " " yea , a Daniel r This is tbe boasted impartiality of British law 1 This is one of the proofs that rich and poor are all equal in the eye of the law ! Good God , is it come to this , that we are to be told from the judgment Beat that the man who holds opinions varying from those of the judge , is to be deprived of all . his rights of citizenship , notwithstanding all law and all usage is in his favour 1 If Mr . George Brooke Nelson never before used an argument in favour of Chartism , he did now , and that too in a place and manner which must have told with fearful energy . What , " Master Brooke , " did it tend to make us contented to insult us by telling , in so many words , that we were only to pay rates , and be
satisfied-with the mockery of voting our own officers ! Did you think this , " Master Brook" ? If you did , you are a " most wise yotaug judge ! " We are informed that he used nearly the same words , and fully the same nonsense , in charging the jury after the parties had withdrawn . This cannot be true . But supposing it to be true , ought he ever again to be permitted to sit in a court of any feind ! We are informed , too , that one of the " Dogberries" on the jury , not only reiterated the above sentiuv nt , but added , " that they tthe Chartists ) ought to ba hunted from society \ " We dare not think this true . But if it be we should feel much obliged to any one who would furniBh us with the name and place of abode of the wretch .
There is another hero , too , who figured pro minently upon the scene ; and , though last aot least , he came to speak in favour of the wishes of the rate-payers being set aside for the dictum of an individual . This was no less a personage than , the " respectable and liberal" Mr . George Scott , ot Heckmondwike . This worthy pretends to belong to that faction which the Lord Mayor of Dublin designated the " base , bloody , and brutal Whigs ;" but he acts in the double capacity both of mother Cole and man-midwife in assisting to give birth to the incestuous issue of both the factions . When
" Master Brooke" had given birth to the aforesaid sentiment , Mother Cole stepped forward , and , with the self-sufficiency which is usually assumed by a man-midwife , said , " He quite agreed with that which had fallen from the Chairman , that there ought te be a broad line of distinction drawn when a Chartist came in question" ! Say you so , Mother Cole ? And what ought to be the conduct of the rate-payers of Heokmondwike and Liversedge if , after this , you should ever again insult them by your presence at any of their meetings ? What kind of stuff are they made of if yon be even tolerated after this ?

Thirty-Five Persons Killed and Wounded ai BOLCKROW AND VaUGHAN ' S I RON FOUNDRY , . Middlesbro ' . —On Tuesday morning , about nine o ' clock , a most alarming and awful occurrence took place here . The large boiler belonging to the above parties , owin # , it is stated , to more pressure being put upon it than it was calculated to bear , burst , and hurried five human beings to a premature grave . Thirty more are maimed and wounded ; the most of them are very severely hurt . One part of the building was blown into the river Teos , a distance of between one and two hundred yards , and the end of the boiler was completely blown out . Medical aid went , via special train from Stockton , as Boonasthii awful affair was known ; and every possible assistance was rendered to the unfortunate sufferers .
Our correspondent s letter , reoeived yesterday morning , says .- —Other four of the sufferers are dead , and four or five more cannot survive many hours . The engineer was killed on tbe spot . Third outbreak of the Liverpool Great Fire . — Liverpool , Wednesday Morning . —Last evening , about haif-past six o ' clock , the inhabitants of this town were again much alarmed at the report that the property saved from the late great fire in the Waterloo-road had again ignited , and was burning with great fury . Shortly afterwards that part of the town was illuminated , the fire bells were rung , and tho engines immediately proceeded to the spot . On arriving at the scene of the dit-aster the report was found to be true , the interior of Reyner ' s cottonshed , in the cellars of which were large quantitieaof
turpentine and cotton , having agam taken fire , the flames ascending in immense volumes . MaDy thousands of speotators were speedily congregated , and notwithstanding the lamentable loss of life which took place on the first outbreak it was with much difficulty they could be kept back from the tottering walls of the shod . It appears that the property which had ignited had been , ever sinor the great fire , covered with the btioka and timbers of the late surroundingbuildings , and during thelast fortnight workmen have been actively employed in clearing away the rubbish , and excavating the barrels of turpentine and the cotton buried underneath . They had just finished their day ' s work last evening , aud left tho premises when the property took fire . The wind was rather high at the time , blowing in a Bouih westerly direction , and the only feara
entertained for the eai'ty of the neighbouring property was lest the sparks , which were carried to a considerable distance , should be the means of furthering the progress ol the devastating element . Ai ! tha buildings which surrounded the scene of this conflajjration having been previously destroyed no further damage but that of the destruction of the salvage property could be sustained excepting b ) the sparks ; and the firemen playing on the ruins had only to observe the fury of the fire expend itself in the open space , and in the course of a few hours , under the able direction of Mr . Whitty , the chief coiiotab ; e , it was got under . A large quaatity of tho turpentine and cotton , however , wa 3 destroyed . On the first outbreak some hundreds of barrels of turpentine in the shed , ready to be carted away , were saved .
