DISSOLUTION OF THE YOBSHIRE DISTRICT BANK . : On Wednesday , a special meeting of the shareholders in this establishment was held at the Banking Bouse . Sir John Simpson , of York , in the chair , It ^ will be remembered that iu February last , a committee , consisting of Mr . Murgatroyd , of Bradford , and three other gentlemen , were appointed by the shareholders to examine into the affairs of the company , and to report thereon . The meeting of yesterday was convened to receive their report , and to take such steps as might he thought most advisable . The report stated that tbelosses of the concern would Amount to four-fifths of the original capital , £ 800 , 000 ; and as the trust deed required a dissolndon of the company , whenever
the loss amounted to one-fourth of the capital , it recommended an immediate && olution , and the establishment of a new company , under the firm or style of the Yorkshire Banking Company , with a capital of £ 500 , 000 , in twenty thousand shares of £ 25 each . A very long and noisy discussion followed , but ia the end a resolution framed in accordance with the recommenaaiian of the report was carried almost -unanimously . Tbe meeting did not break up till after four o'clock , having lasted four hours . It . was stated that nearly one-fourth of the proposed capital was subscribed before the meeting separated , and the new company having been provisionally formed , a meeting was held , and preparations made for commencing business on Thursday morning .

Hall , from the Leeds and Bamsdale Road . The arms and legs of the child had been cut off ; one arm was found near the place . Mr . Muscrofi , surgeon , of Pontefract , gave it as his opinion that the child had been born alive . He had put the lungs into water , to test if the child had breathed . The lungs floated ; and this , he said , was the usual test of a child being born alive . He thought that death was occasioned by hermorage , the consequent of cutting off the Iimb 3 . The jury found a verdict of Wilful murder" against some person or persons unknown .
Sisgulab Discovert op x Cob * sb at Sxarlbt , 2 teab Waxzfixls . —The other day , as some work--men were -employed in digging about the door-way Of the old workhouse at Stanley , they came to a plain modern coffin , which contained the corpse of a child supposed to have been about two years old at iiB death . Ko coronet's inquest was held on the body , but the coffin , with its contents , were reinterred beneath an apple-tree , at no great distance from the place where it was found . HALIFAX-—Mubdeb o ? a Fatheb st bis Son . —On Tuesday last in consequence of domestic disagreement , an aged man of the name of Dobsoh residing , at Mount Tabor , near Halifax , who had previously resided together in : the Bame
house with his son , determined on a separation in order to avoid family broils . However , in dividing thegoods , angry words were bandied about in the usual manner , in consequence of the son demanding a larger portion than the old man seemed disposed to allow . The xesnli was that the son threatened to shootiiisparent , and proceeded a distance of half a mile to procure a gun in order to -pat Ms threat Into execution . On his return he presented the loaded gun at the old rasa , bat the cap being worthless , he deliberately put on another and shot his parent dead on the spot . The inhuman murderer immediately made his escape , and has up to the time of writing eluded pursuit . Nevertheless , no doubt exists bat the vigilance of the officers will result in his apprehension before this reaches the pnhlic eye . We shall be enabled to give in our next , a more detailed acoo&nt
of the circumstances , from the evidence given on the coroner ' s inquest , and on the examination of the parricide , 'who cannot Ion ? escape tbe hand of justice 2 ffANCHESTER . —Fatheb Mathew . —The above-name * iDustrions personage paid a visit to onr borough on Saturday last , and on Snnday celebrated mass in S ' .

Gentleman , that he wa § obliged to take refnge in Marsden ' s temperance hoteL In the evening of the same day , he administered the pledge to about thirty persons ; and we understand he left Manchester for York on Monday morning , and that he intends paying us another visit in the course of a fortnight , wnen he will ad- ^ minister the pledge for five days successively . :
The " Mjlkchesteb Tikes" aud the Fustias Cxjttebs . —The columns of the Manchester limes have been lately occupied in endeavouring to make its readers believe that the fustian cutters of the town of Manchester are receiving more wages bow than they have done foT many years past . Such not being the case , we a .= k for a small space in the columns of tbe People's paper for a statement of facts that cannot be controverted ; facts which will lettbe people see that instead of the fnstian cutters having an increase of wage ? , they are now receiving less by nearly two-thirds than they were eighteen years ago . And ever since that time , like all other branches of xhe coiton i ? ade , year by year , they have ieen getting Jess > .

SHEFFlEXiD . —Dbbadfpl Tbuxder azhj Hail Stobh . —Wednesday Evening , eleven o ' clock . —Sheffield has this evening been visited by a sioxm , the like of which has ] but rarely been known . It commenced abont five o ' clock and continued with more or less violence for th % space t > f three hours , from six o ' clock to seven was tbe worst portion , dur « ing which time the thunder bellowed , and the lightning flashed without intermission , accompanied by a terrific hurricane of 1 hail which baa donedamagt in the town to an inealcnlable amount . In fads had the town been bombarded it could scarcely have suffered so muchir-jary in the matte ; of glass . The following is a brief description of the state of some of the principal streets ] public buildings , workshops ,
&c , tied—the Tontine , several panes smashed j Town-hall , face of the clock broken ; Castle-street , Snig-hiil , West-bar , and Bank-street , large numbers of panes broken i Stanley-street , Walker-street , Andrew-street , Nursery-street , &c , have severely suffered j at Hunter's factory , Longley ' s , coachbuilder , and Mr . Chadburn ' s optician , the damage is very heavy . High-street and Hartshead have had a tolerable escape , though in the former street about 100 panes are destroyed . In Watson Walk the Mechanics' Library has upwards of 70 , and Medley ' s factory upwards of 140 panes demolished . We have traversed St . James ' -street , Church-street , Burge ? s-Btreet , Sbeffipld Moor , Charles ' -street , Furnival-street , Docior ' s-fields , Lead Mill-road ,
Suffolk-street , Howard street , Eyre-street , Surrey-street , &fl ., &C , and found the damage to be beyond all calculation . ; The following is a list of public and other buildings , with the number of panes destroyed : —The ; Parish Church about 140 , and clock face destroyed ; Chartist Room , Fig Treelane , twenty-three ; Vicarage , a large number ; Hallamehiro Bank , skylightB destroyed : a workshop , in New Church-sire * t , above 140 ; Brunswick Chapel , above 100 ; Si .

The above list is correct as far as it goes , but will give but a very inadequate idea of the immense destruction occasioned by tbe unprecedented storm of this evening . " It is an ill wind that blows nobody good , " says the proverb ; good has been blown to the glaziers at any rate , who are in high spirits , anticipating a rich harvest from ibis , "crash of elements" and " wreck of "—windows !
Church Rates . —A publio meeting was held in the school room of tht > parish of Handaworth , a village in the neighbourhood of Sheffield , on the morning of Thursday , June 29 , h , called for the purpose of levying a Church Rate . About a hundred of the Woodhouse people attended the meeting , which was called for ten o ' clock in ihe forenoon , & most unseasonable hour for the working clasaee . It was tbe intention of the' Chartists to have proposed a working man to the chair , but they were advised not to do so by the respectables , and consequently no opposition was vStred to the clergyman presiding . His reverence on entering the room and being moved to the chair , which he took without any show of hands being called for , immediately rose again and
dissolved the meeting , as the churchwardens were not prepared with their estimates , adding that due notice would be given when another meeting would be holden . So saying ; his Reveranoe bolted . The meeting remonstrated loudly against this treatment , and demanded why working men had been called from their labour in the middle of the forenoon when , as the parson pretended ! they were not prepared to bring any business before the meeting ? To which oue of the j&ckaH ' s replied that the meeting had had a fine forenoon ' s walfcj and would have the opportunity of another before ^ ioagl After some discussion , relative to the shabby aud insulting manner in which they had been treated , the meeting broke up . BRADFORD—A publio meeting of the wool
combers was holden oh Monday evening last , in front of the Odd Fellowa Hall , Thorntoa-road , Bradford , to form an Association for the purchase and occupation of Land . Mr . Gillard was called to the chair , who briefly stated tho object of the meeting , and introduced Mr . Tytler to more the first resolution—* That an Association be farmed to purchase Land , whereon to locate the ' surplus labourers' who cannot find employment in the labour market . " Mr Tytler made some very interesting remarks on the present situation of the wool combers , and entreated them to join the society . ' Mr . Dawson seconded the resolution , in an excellent address , calling on the workers to commeace doing something for themselves , before the puwer was altogether taken from
them by the constant reduction of wagt ; s . The resolution was unanimously carried . Mr . Bond moved the next resolution : — " That this Association be called the Bradford Joint Stock Land Company . " The mover spoke with much force on the ruinous effects of class legislation , and the present miserable position of tho workies . : Mr . J . Arran seconded it . and entered into a calculation of what could be done by a million of persons subscribing sixpence weekly . In one year the people could looaie seventyfive persons weekly on farms of five acres each , with a capital of £ 51 each to commence with ; and thus there could be a constant drain of labourers from the labour market , as well as an increase of democratic voters in the country ; and this would
enable them to carry the ; People ' s Charter , in spite of the power of the aristocracy . Mr . Arran also clearly showed the statements made by Mr . Linton , of Selby , to be correct ; and fully explained the manner of thatj gentleman ' s method of producing from his small allotment of laud , such a quantity of useful vegetables as to make so handsome a return for the labour expended . The resolution was supported by Mr . Symth , who combated the objections raised by some parties against the people going on to the land , and showed the superiority of small farms over large ones , both as a means of producing more capital and increasing trade in the manufacturing districts , thereby producing a home
market , which would ; be free from the continnal dread of panic so fatal to the labourer . The resolution was carried without a dissentient voice . The Chairman then re&d the ' rules for the conducting of the Association , aud announced a meeting to take place ; on Saturday evening , at seven o ' clock , in the Chartist Room , Butter worthbuildings , to alter and amend the rules as the meeting should then think proper ; likewise to enrol members , and appoint a treasurer , and form the town into districts to enable the people to pay their contributions without much trouble . The meeting broke up highly satisfied at tbe prospect of discovering the means of relieving their forlorn condition .
Sudden Death . —On Saturday morning , a commercial traveller went into the Odd Fellows' Arms , Thornton-road , and asked for a private room , complaining of lilness .

AssiBPance was immediately procured ; but he died in a shori tini 9 . Au inquest was hwld on the body , when it was ascertained tuat he was in the employ of Mr . Pease , of Darlington , and that he died of apoplexy . Verdict accordingly .
HOXiBEGK . Mesmeric Phkenologt . —On Wednesday and Friday evenings , June Sftkh and 30 , b , Mr . T . B . Smith delivered two able and talented lectures on the above science , in the Large Room , Hoibeck Bridge , to highly attentive audiences . The lectures were eminently ordinal , aud took up tho fiubject of mesmer c-p 2 irenology on entirely new ground , which excited much aitent on . In the firtt lecture Mr . S . endeavoured to prove that mesmerism and magnetism were in reality the same
thing , making several remarks upon the effects of electricity and the loadstone , and comparing their effects with that of meserism ; he then proceeded t « demonstrate that the real nature of man could only be discovered by means of mesmeric-phrenology . The arguments on both parts of the subject were cogent and convincing . - In the second lecture the perfect consistency of mesmerism and phrenology with true religion was ably demonstrated . After which ihe discoveries of Mesmerism were applied as the

The reasoning of the lecturer ' was applied with . such effect as to convince both Materialists and mere Sectarian Christiana that the science of Mesmeric Phrenology was understood by neither , and was calculated to produce results which muBt in their coDsequences revolutionize thejiforld .

" REBECCA" IN WALES . Carmarthen , Jult 4 . —I find that the reenlt of Mr . iiaule- ' s attendance here is that the Government will take the prosecutions on themselves ; and , as far as I can learn , the Solicitor-General will attend on the part of the Crown at the forthcoming trials of those concerned in the riot here on the 19 th ultimo . The depositions have been placed in the hands of Mr . Maule and Mr . Raven , who at ' ends with him , and those functionaries are now engaged ia preparing the necessary indictments . A woman of the name of Frances Evans was last night apprehended at Cilgwynucha , and examined to-day before a full bench of magistrates , charged with having participated in the riot at Carmarthen workhouse , and witn having incited and led the mob on that oocaaiou . Mr . Maale and Mr . Raven attended the examination , which was conducted in Welch , aa the prisoner was unacquainted with English .
Sarah Thomas , the schoolmistress of the union workhouse , being sworn , deposed to having been at the workhouse on Mouday , June l ° ch , when the riot took place , and the mob broke into the Hall . It was at about one o ' clock in the day . The mob marched in , and began beating the tables , &o ., with staves ^ which they had in their hands . Witness ran up into the school-room , where the children , who were much alarmed , were crying . Two men , one of whom 8 he thought she could identify , followed her there . They said they had no wish to hurt the children , but to let them out . Witness replied that the children had no homes * and would be far better off there . The men said they had applied for redress , and that now they would have redress by force themselves ; and one of them said he would spill every drop of blood iu his body before they uld lose the dayfor did not fear the mili
wo , they - tary . The men then went out into another part of the house . Shortly afterwards witness saw the prisoner Fanny Evans , whom she knew from her having been iu tha workhouse a > short time previously . She was leading the mob up stairs . Witness asked her if she was not ashamed of herself , to Which the prisoner replied , that she bad seen enough of the workhGuse , and was determined to go on with it . A- female in the workhouse then forced the prisoner down stairs , and witness afterwards saw her dancing with violent gestures on the table in the hall . The door of witness's room was broken opeo , and she was put ia fear of her life . She saw the violenoe of the mob increasing , and believed that if the military had not arrived when 'they did , the workhouse wonld have beau pulled down or destroyed .
Another witness having given similar testimony , the prisoner , who declined saying anything , was held to bail to appear and take her trial at the
8881268 . Tno attack upon and destruction of the gates not only is continued with increased daring , but is spreading into a wider looality . Not only have they levelled the principal gates in Carmarthenshire , but the work of destruction is going on in Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire , and yet not a , single iadividual has been apprehended . A uvght or two since they marched in very large numbers to the Seleddy gate , near Fishguard ( where the "French landed in 1798 ) , and in a very short 4 iuie demolished the gates , posts , and houses , and brok ?> the toll boards , &c , into pieces so small that ia the moraine not a piece was discovered larger than .
would be fit for matchwood . After she work of destruction had been completed , the whole party left in the direction of the Haverfordwest road . Ou the same night they attacked the Fishguard Hill-gate , which they also broke in pieces ; they then prooeedod to the toll-bar at the other end of Fisbguard , where they attacked the toll-keeper'B house , the windows of which they demolished . Things have now reached such a pass , that it is thought by respectable persons of the neighbourhood , that unless stopped , both private property and persons travelling on the roads will shortly be rendered vory insecure .
They appear now to have adopted plans to harass the eolditry . Last night , from information received , the troop of the 4 sh Dragoons were ordered to mount at eleven o ' clock , to march to some gate in tha neighbourhood ; just , however , as the men were about to start at a gallop , subsequent information was received which prevented their proceeding . The troop of DcagoGiis at St . dear ' s were also out upon tbe roads all night , lights having been shown at various spots which induced them to believe that aa attack was being made on gates in different situations . —Times , Friday .
