THE BARNSLEY MURDER : CONFESSION OF MITCHELL . John Mitche ll , who was convicted of the mnrdei < - > f Mr . Blackburn , new Barn&tey , is stated to hare conducted himself -with pot propriety sinoe the pasting of sentence . It will be seen , from the subjoined confession , that be was not the aetoal perpeiratar of the murder ; nor , if credence is to be given to the confession , that he did not go out with vny intention of committing murder , or of siding sad siting in murder ; we would hope , therefore , that his life may be spared . Condemned Cell , Maseli 22 , 1841 . SIATMEKI OF THE PfclSOKBB JOHS MITCHELL , Before John Hohtyi , Frederick ffolroyd , and B . Xivesey .
On Moneay , the 5 th October , I met with Cherry , and H , biriBon , and Fox , &t a Tillage called Smithies , near BirnsJey . I met them without appointment , or expectation of seeing either of them ; it was about ten o ' clock a x . when I vet them . There w&s about to Uie place a ff . t-race , and I had gone for the sole purpose of seeing it Tne names of the two persons who were to ran wer = Siater and Brook . Robinson asked me if I could lei him have 3 s . 6 d- I said I could not , as I had but 5 ji . in the w » r \ d . Robinson then said he would have tome money before night I remained at Smithies until i two o ' clock , t . m ., haTing formed there toe company of a Tr . ung woman named Toppings ; there was another yocsij woman with her named „ Milliard . Myself and j the two your . g women went into a house occupied by j
ore f their acquaintance , as it wa 3 very cold . We I remsintsd in the house about half an hour , and then irtat wi ; hoat stopping to see the race . -We returned , all three together , in the direction of Barnsley , about one and a half miles distint . We arrived at Barnsiey aV-ut half-pftgt two , p . m . I left the young woman , and went to nay fathers houre , my home , to get something to eat . I remained about a quarter of an hour , ami tfcen went out ; and on going down the principal j street besides the market-place , I met a person named ' Grorge Barlow . Geerge Barlow offered to pay . for a pint of ale , if I woald go to John Winter ' s public- boose , called the Royal Oak . We then went together to that house , and had a . pint of ale between us , wbich he paiA for . We remained at this house about xtr ^ i quarters of an nour . We ' tben went to another
puMie-nouse , called thi Duke of Tork ; and caving remained there about ten minutes , and got one glass of . ale . I then left the Dnke of Tori . 1 taring freorge Barlow , in r . I tbtn went up alone to a street of bouses , ' called Taylor-row , and remained there , not in a house , abjn-one hoar , talking with one John Hilton , a weaver . I tb ^ a left bi ^ n and went home again to my father ' s hc-: iMi . I jot there at about are o ' clock ; I got my tea ar ¦ ' went cut again , baring been in the house about V : n minutes . I ha » l agreed with the young woman , Deborah Tort'ine , whom I hsd been with at Smithies , to inert her : n the afternoon of that day . I went out from my fcrr . er ' s house for the sole pcrpose of meeting her according to appointment . 1 mtt her near what is ; c ~ . i « r-i Bamsley Town End , about a mile from my foiij-T ' s house ; this wonld be about half-past fire . p . m . ,
T ( iaai ( the young woman and myself ) sat down torrth ^ r upoa some steps belonging to Jam s Clemin-*» n . We sat there about tores quarters of an hour . We then left that place arsd went down the street bs . * fc a ? ain , and was about a quarter of an hour coming to Jo » hua Wrap ' s shop ; ju 3 t opposite this Ehep 1 m-t i' . r . binson and Cherry ; the young woman , » n hearing t e young man say h » wanted me , walked away immediately ; after this Robinson told me , in a great hurry , that a man had been callecting some milk m-n ^ y ; he said tbe man would pass Crow-well-hill , wticn is about half a mile from where we were . B b-ason and Cherry told me to follow them . W- sll three ran in the direction of * Worsbro Cjur . n ^ n , then passed Crow-well MIL When we g ^ t 10 the Worsbre' Bars , the whole three of
¦ us ¦ wvnt on the Isew Rsad , still running , and over a turnip field . 1 did not know where we were going , but followed them , as they said the man had some Bicn ^ y abont him- When we got into the field in triuch Blackburn's house stands , though I did not at the t-nie know whose house it was , Cherry and myself aV-vp--d at the barn end ; Cherry then took up a piece of wuv > d , about four feet long , it was a gate head . Ch-. rry gare the gate head to me , and said I was to strike tbe man with it . When I got the gate head in my hands , I went to the gats that Leads into the yard of ths house , or farm yard ; Cherry yet stood at the bam end , where I had just left him . I was now about eight yarcs from Cnerry . Cherry told me that Robinson was putting up his hand for us . At this time I bw the girl Uiat gave evidence against me at my trial .
she -was standing at the house door , I was about from twenty to thirty yards fr » m her . Cherry left me and went towards Robinson . Robinson was , at the time Cherry went away , standing upon the wall against the lute which ieacs t o the house . I air him there , he Vis about thirty yards bum me . I immediately follo > stsi Ofcerry , aDd whilst I was following Cherry , I ea-w Robinson upon the wall with a stone in his hand , it ^ ppsar ^ d to be a large stone . I saw him at the lame time lift up both his arms , as if in the act of hurling somt-thing down from the wall where he stood . I was then about eight yards from Robinson . I then »•» Robinson jump from the "wall into the lane , but
befi . ro I had got on to the wall myself , 1 heard some ace s ^ y " Ton d—d rascals . " I knew this was not tbe i To : ce either of Robinson or Cherry ; from the wall I . saw a scuSe between a man whom I did not know , and . Robinson and Cherry . I saw Robinson and Cherry pull ¦ the man ' s feet from under him , and the man fell down , j I then jumped from the wall , and with the gate head j in my hand , 1 struck the first man 1 came at I in-1 tended to have fctrnck the man I saw struggling with ¦ Robirson and Cherry . The height of the wall was I about six or seYen feet The moment'I jumped down 1 j tract at the firrj man nearest me ; 7 found theo tint , I h . id struck at Robinson , for be said I bad broken his : : ; : \
arm . Robinson said I must carry him into the planting . ; I told him he might walk there . Robinson then wtnt j away in the direction of the planting ; Cherry ran in : the uirection of the pasture . It was at this moment I ; bv a parson lying on the ground in the lane , with his : ha : off ; and I also saw ths young woman mentioned I befure , and an elderly woman with her , with her cap j on . Both the women screamed out seyeral times , i murder . 1 stood a little , at about eight yards ; from the two women , terrified with my arms banging 1 down by my side . When I saw the two women coming j towards me , I ran away . I ran towards the pasture ; gate of the field , besides the planting . I saw no one I but Cherry before me as I ran ; before I got to the ! gate mentioned , I stumbled OTer some sticks and oth « r I
obstructions in the lane that led to the pasture , and | f elL I immediately get up and got over the pasture gate , j I stiil ? aw Cherry running before me . I ran in the ; direction of the pasture gate , because I dare not go by j the Birracks , thinking that the soldier on sentry might j fire at me ; I should have gone that way by the ! Barracks if it had not been for this dread of being shot j I got into the field where Cherry was running , I oTer- ; took him crossing the New Read . We then went ! togetiier , still running , until we came to Mr . Tee ' s \ fisli pond . We then went to Knaresbro' Dyke , j on the Doncaster road . Here a person named ¦ Godfrey Hirst came to me , and seizing hold i of me , said I ba 4 been stealing apples . He wanted » te to eiv « him some : I told him I had i
none . Hirst then left us . Cherry and I then went in i the direction of Taylor Row ; before we got to Taylor ! R « w I met a man , whom I fooad at the coroner ' s inquest -Wit Henry BalL We then went into the Red Lion , a public-house » t Barnsley Town End ; as we were standing ax the entrance by the house , Cherry and myself agreed to f o and seek Robinson . We went to the Railway Tavern , bnt he was not there ; here I bad a « nall glass of ale . We here met Thomas Cherry , the brother of John Cherry , and George Barlow . John j Cherry asked Thornas Cherry if Robinson had be « n there ; he said he did not know . We all four of us then went oat , and went on the Doncaster Road , j towards the Butchers' Arms' pnblie-honse ; bnt we did ! not go in . At the entrance of this home I saw F « j in the street , and he joined us ; I had not seen hi ™ j

! j i ; j ' ! ¦ ¦ J ¦ ' \ j HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , March 30 . The Committee appointed to try the me its of the ¦ petition against the return of Mr . Gladstone for the : borough of Wals&ll reported that that gentleman was ; duly elected , but that neither the petiticn aor the i opposition to it were frivolous of vexatious . The ; c-jnimittee further reported that there prevailed a ; general system of treating at the last election at Wali sail , but there was no satisfactory evidence to connect i it with tbe sitting member . ! The Chancellor of the Exchequer , 5 n reply to i a questikn from Sir R . Peel , said he would make his i financial statemeat for the ye » r on Friday , the 30 th ! of April .
I Mr . Pakisgtok then rose , pnrsnant to notice , to I move that a select conmittee should be appointed to ¦ inquire into the state of the colony of Newfoundland . j The Hon . Member , as the groundwork of his motioa , j stated that tbe population of Newfoundland aaoumted i to from 75 . 00 C to 80 , COO persons , who were nearly equilly divided into Protestants and Citholics . He did not mean to find fault -with the Government for baring conferred a constitution on tbe colony , though , for h ; s Oiirn part , he thought it was prematurely giT * n ; and it was rather a singular fact that the very persons who were formerly most anxious for that constitution , were very many of Ihem now most desirous to have it abolished . The elections in the
colony had been attended by serious rioting . At St John ' s toe elections wild not be concluded at all without mi itary intervention . To such an * xtent had these outrages fceen carried , that the governor , when opening the session last January , had expressed doubts as to whether the colony was yet in a fit state to receive a legislative system . Lord J . RussEiL would not oppose the motion , though he had not himself thought it necessary to proi pose a committee of inquiry . He would not deny that ! serious disturbances bad taken place , nor was he
prepared to state to the House the means by which : Government proposed to remedy the PTint . ing evils . At a future time he would propose them to tbe House , whatever might be the opinion of the committee . Ha could not think that they had prematurely granted a , constitution to Newfoundland , for the goTsrnor of the colony had stated that it had rapidly improved in many respects under that constitution . He was , therefore , unwilling to abolish the constitution , nor could he have much faith in a House of Commons which showed itself too ready to do away with representative government .
Aft « r s <> me observations from Mr . Huhh and Mr . ; J . O'Co . nnell , the motion was agreed to . j The House haviag resolved itself into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill , tbe consideration of clause It was resumed . i Mr . Coujmiows moved a provision , to the effect ' that in all these combined parish or union schools a | chaplain ahouid be appointed to regulate and super-[ intend the instruction of tbe children , except those \ children were of a religion other than that of the established church , whose parents , or whose godfather or godmother , might object to their being instructed in the tenots of tbe established church , in which case it should be lawful that a licensed minister of the religion of tbe parents should viiit tbe schools at certain
hours to be appointed , to teach that religion to the children . Provided also , that such' chaplains « Kouid be appointed by the board of management , with the consent of the bishop « f the diocese , and receive such salary as the Poor Law Commissioners Bhould think proper . ! Dr . Lcshisgtoh felt confident that the appointment ' of these chaplains was actually necessary , though he \ did feel some reluctance at throwing any additional : burdens on the Dissenters for the purpose of educating children in a religion to which they were opposed . He thought , however , that the Dissenters themselves would rather see these children educated in the prineipies of the Established Church , than that their educatiou should be entirely secular . He was of opinion that the exception contained in the proposition of tbe
Hon . Member was by no means broad enough . Suppose three or four orphans were thrown into these schools , whose parents and forefathers had for centuries been Catholics , and suppose those children to have already imbibed wme of tbe principles of that religion , it would , in bis opinion , bt > a violation of tbe first principles of religious liberty to bring up children under such circumstances in the religion of tae Established Church . The Hon . Member confined his exception to the parents , or to tbe godfather and godmothecB but surely an uncle or aunt , or other relative , would be as well entitled to interfere . He had instanced the case of Catholic orphans , but tbe sane reasoning would apply to tbe orphan children of B \ ptUU or , indepeadeuU , or , indeed , those of any other religions persuasion .
Lord Tbignmouth contended that children , to whose relatives their religion wai a natter of indifference , should be brought up in the tenets of the Established Churcn . Lord SA . NDO . t suggested that if tbe cbU 3 e was so framed as to give the power of objection to children being brought up in the religion of the Established Church to parents and natural guardiani , instead of godfathers and godmothers , the difficulty would be obviated . Mr . Ha-wes contended that tbe effects of this clause would be to place the education , not only religious but secular , of all these children in the hands of the clergy of the Established Church . As the payment of these chaplains would come out of the poorrates , to which the Dissenters so largely contributed , he thought they would never be reconciled to it He protested against tbe clause , and should give it evdry opposition .
Lord J . Rcssell was of opinion that , without some modification of the clause , they would run the risk of giving too great power to the chaplains over the secular education of tbe children in these schools-Mr . La > gdalb suggested the addition of some words to protect a child of twelve or thirteen years of age , who might already have received some knowledge of the principles of a religion , not being that of the Established Church . Mr . Ward suggested the postponement of the clause , in order to give time to have it properly framed in order to meet tbe objections which had been urged . Mr . Bern a L said the clause , in its present position , could not be postponed .
Mr . Blackstoub observed that , in that case , he would rather have the clause rejected altogether . Tbe question was , be thought , too important to be introduced incidentally in a Bill for tbe continuance of the Poor Law Commission . Mr . T . Egertoh could not see why these chaplains should not be paid without objection , upon the same principle as chaplains of prisons were paid , out of the county rate . After some farther dlsea&sion , the amendment of Mr . Colqahoun was carried , by a majority of 119 to 32 . The Chairx a * then pufc tiie question , that the clause stand part of the Bill , upoa which Mr . Parker said ha should oppose the clause altogether . Mr . Gbimsdixch was also opposed U the clause .
Mr . Waklet -wa » of opinion tbat all the matters relating to the education of the children should be made the subject of a separate BilL The House divided upon the original motioa , upon which the clause was carried by a majority of 141 to 36 . Colonel Sibthorp moved the omission of the If tb clause , bat on a division it wa « carried by a majority of 144 to 23 . The 18 th clause beimg proposed . Colonel SlBTUORP moved that tht , Chairman should report progress , upoa which the Committee divided , amd tbe Gallant Colonel ' s action wai negatived by a majority of 119 to 18 . Colonel Sibthokf spoke of tbe importance of the clause , and said it was unfair to harass Members by f oreiag i ts consideration upon them at so late an hour of the nickt
Lord Johh Russbj-L gave way , aad tbe Chairman accordingly reported , progress , and obtained leave to ait again on Thursday .
Wednesday t March 31 . On the question that the Jews' Declaration Bill be read a third time , Mr . Gladstone moved that it be read a third time that day six months . Mr . Pbikgle seconded tbe amendment Mr . Macaulat did not think toe House of Commons was justified in refusing that which ought to be grant « d , became they might « uppo « they would afterwards be asked for something they might not feel disposed to grant .

Mr . QoVLhv&n contended that if they admitted Jews to corporate office * it would be impossible to expect them to enforce laws respecting blasphemy or the observance of the Sabbath . Sir B . Inglis strongly supported tbe amendment upon the same grounds as bad induced him to oppose the Bill upon its second reading . Lord SaNdow was cot prepared to go the same length as Hon . Gentlemen on tbe Ministerial side of tbe House , but still he had beard nothing t * induce him to refuse bis assent to this BilL After a few observations from Mr . Divett , the House divided , and tbe third reading was carried by a majority of 108 to 31 . Tbe Bill was then read a third time , and passed .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Louden , Thursday Evening , April 1 , Quarter to Seven . All Fool ' s Dav . —Thi 3 morning , at Bow-street , two well-dressed youug men , disciples of tho Waterfords andjWaldegraves , who nave the names of Wm . Town ^ end and Charles Smith , were charged with having made fools of themselves , ere the anniversary of their " day of privilege" had well get in , and in that capacity created a disturbance in Covent-garden market , and assaulting an officer in the execution of his duty . It appeared that the defendants , with some other persons , stationed themselves in the conservatory , and
amused themselves with throwing orange peels at people passing to and from the market , and otherwise conducting themselves in a very improper manner . On the officer desiring them to desist or leave the place , they refused , saying they would act as they pleased , at the same time making use of very abusive aud insulting language , from which they proceeded to more substantial violence , and it was with considerable difficulty that they were Eecured . It turned opt that ihe defendant Townsend is a solicitor , and Smith his articled clerk ; and they were fined £ 5 , or fourteen days' " limbo . " They were then locked up ; but , juit Before the arrival of the van to take them to their destination , ( hey " raised the wind . " and mizzled .
Sixgulab and Fatal Accident . —An inquest was held tnis morning by Mr . Baker , in Old Gravel Lane , on the body of a female child , named Crawley , aged sixteen months , whoso death was caused by a singular accident . . The mother of the deoeased Baid that on St . Patrick ' s Eve she went out to sup at a friend ' s , taking deceased with her . After supper , as the child was playing about the room , she fell over a stool , and then screamed very violently . Her mother ran . to her assistance , and on taking her up found that ehe was bleeding from the mouth , aud
that she held in her hand a square-pointed shoomaker ' s kmfe , the blade of which was stained with blood . Tbe child showed no external wound , and the knife must have entered her mouth as she ¦•• ell . The parish ' surgeon , ( Mr . Garrett , ) saw the child on < he day following the accident , but did not discover the real nature of the injury until a few days afterwards , when he found a distinct incised wound in the throat , ( caused , doubtless , by the knife being forced in , by the fall ) , surrounded by inflammation , and producing extreme difficulty of breathing ; the sudden 6 loughin # of this wound ended in suffocation and death . Verdict , " Accidental Death . "
City News , Commercial Review , and a Warning Hint to the Depositors in Sayings' Banks . —The Chancellor of the Exchequer has laid his ministerial paw upon the Savings' Banks deposits , and given in exchange Exchequer Bills—that is , his flimsy and fluciuftUBg " promises to pay , " to the commissioners . Even among the motiey-mongerd this step has been loudly deprecated , as tending to destroy all confidence in the hitherto sacred nature of this trust ; and most of the '' long heads upon 'Change , '' predict , with considerable confidence , that this source of revenue will be thereby seriously injured , if not permanently impaired . The objections to this mode of augumenting the National Debt are numerous ; and it is argued by the best informed in suoh matters , that if this system be
permitted , the Government may use the power of increasing the debt to an unlimited extent . Irrespective of this view of tbe money market , the general aspect is favourable to commerce ; the changes are in favour of this country , and gold ia flowing into the " old lady's" coffers . Ail this betokens a more lively state of affairs ; but , as money is abundant , and first-clasg bills are very scarce , some of the " heavy gentry" may be induced to embark their posh in foreign loans . They may , perhaps , buru their fingers at this fund ; for , recently , on the bare possibility of war with France , French securities fell 23 per cent , in as many days . The following aro the closing prices to-day of some of the British funds : —Three per Cent . Consols , 88 |; New Threeand-a-Half per Cent , 97 i ; Exchequer Bills , 7 ; Consols for Account , 88 £ .
The Suicide Mania . —In the course of last week , six cases of attempts at self-deatruction were admitted to the London Hospital alone , one of which proved fatal . During Monday and Tuesday last , three other cases of a similar description were admitted to the same Hospital , of which another has terminated fatally . Fb . ightfdi . Accident . —Faiatnq of a Floor-Cloth Manufactory . —Yteterday afternoon , about three o ' clock , the floor-cloth manufactory belonging to Messrs . Wringdon and Kendall , now erecting in Page ' s-walk , Grange-road , BermondBey , fell in with a tremendous crash , amongst the numerous workmen , crushing seven of them in a most
frightful manner . The sufferers were immediately conveyed to Guy ' s Hospital in cabs , where in a short time two of them were bo far recovered as to be permitted to be removed to their homes . The others remain at the hospital without hopes of recovery . There were upwards of filty persons on the building at the time , and the disastrous occurrence is attributed to the braces which had secured massive pieces of timber , forty feet in height , supporting the floor , having been snapped by the heavy gusts of wind , which continued to blow all the morning . Additional braces had been placed , but a suddeu gust snapped all the props , and in an instant levelled the whole fabric with the ground .

KEiaHLEY . —Low Tyrankt . —Last week , the following low act of petty tyranny was played off upon the Chartists of this town , and may serve to Bhew , in a small way , the state of English liberty at the present day . For a considerable time back , the common bellman of the town has declined having anything to do with crying the meetings of the Chaxuats at the Working Men ' s Hall , alleging as his reason , that if he did it would be as much as his place was worth , inconsequence of orders received from a f « w persons calling themselves the town ' s authorities . Having » week or two ago refused to announce a Chartist meeting at the above place , that body were under the necessity of appointing a crier ot their own . A rattle , sometimes used by
the Temperance Society , was accordingly borrowed of Mr . Thomas Knowles . and Mr . John Waterhouse , a barber , agreed to perform the duties of the office pro tern . He was accordingly going through the town last week , informing the inhabitants that a representation of Dr . M'Douall , would be gone through m the Working Men ' s Hall , when a follow called Sugden , lately dubbed as town ' s constable , came to him , and forcibly seized the rattle , pretending at the time , that it was a public nuisance , and endangered her Majesty ' s peace , by drawing crowds of people to the place . Mr . Waterhouse replied to this ridiculous charge , by observing that the people collected , amounting to only about a dozen , were there before he came , and their attention had only
been drawn towards him through Sugden ' s own conduct in seizing the rattle . Argument was , however , out of the question , and Mr . Waterhouse and the rattle were taken to the magistrates' clerk , where Sugden declared his willingness to take oath that the uuusual noise of the instrument had collected about 20 U persons in tho course of a minute , and to all appearance , but for hia timely interference , woula have produoed a riot in the town . On Wednesday last , Messrs . Kuowles and Waterhouee appeared before the magistrate * at the petty sessions to lay a complaint against Sugden for forcibly seizing the rattle , and wishing to know the opinion of their worships about the means they ought to
employ in publishing Chartist meetings , as they were denied the use of the common bell . Mr . Ellis informed them that , in bis opinion , a bellman had a discretionary power , aud had a ri K ht to refuse crying anything he might deem improper ; and if the constable can prove that the rattle is a nuisance , and obstructs the passage through the town , he has a right to stop it . The parties left the Court , declaring their determination to know somothing more about the power of either magistrates or constables , to prevent the crying of legal meetings , upon which Mr . Ellis reminded them that they were maniitrates , and had the power of sending people to VVakeueld House of Correction .
STOCK PORT . —The Anti-Corn Law Humbugs AND T 11 E 1 K HOLE-AND-CORNER MEETINGS AGAIN . —Ofl Friday evening , a meeting took place in the largo room , at the Bull Inn , upon the subject of the Corn Laws . Messrs . Cobden , Smith , and iive others from Manchester were present . This meeting , as all the rest have keen of late , excepting one at which they got completely beaten , was called by a pink colour in order to evade fair discussion—finding they cannot convert the working men of Manchester to their half-and-half measures , they resolved to have a try at Stockport ; but , poor creatures , it was no go , one of our Chartists met one of these great repealers in the street , on Monday , and tho repealer began to tell him what a great meeting they had had on Friday evening . The Cnartist soon told him there were in number just forty-eight , and not a soul more , out of which number only twelve were operatives , this no repealers will deny . The repealer acknowledged it was truth and was silent .
Dreadful Fire . —About one o ' clook on Sunday morning , the corn mill belonging to Mr . Wardle was observed by the watchmen to be on fire . They gave an alarm as promptly as possible , but the rage of the flames was past all human effortB to put out , until the whole o ; the building was destroyed , together with a great quantity of flour , grain , and malt , which had been sent to be ground . —A portion of a cotton factory belonging to Mr . Barlow caught fire , and the chief exertions of the firemen were directed for the safety of that which they succeeded in accomplishing , at least without its sustaining any material injury . Jt is not known how it caught fire , as both watchmen were by only half an hour before . Mr . Wardle and Mr . Barlow are both insured to the amount .
On Wednesday evening , a public meeting was convened in the Chartist-room , for the purpose of electing a person for the Convention . A resolution was passed , agreeing with the plan laid down by Feargus O'Connor , Esq . A second resolution was also passed , that Dr . M'Douall should be requested to represent the people of Stockport . Both were carried without opposition ; and a third was about , o be submitted , when a discussion arose as to the legality of the meeting . They referred to the&sr , and found they were wrong , and adjourned till that night week , to call it by placard .
OTACCLESFIELD . —The anti-Corn Law Petition . —We have received , from a gentleman of Macoleefielri , a letter containing a contradiction to the statement in our last , that " the Corn Law repealers of Macclesfield have compelled the infant scholars of the Primitive Methodist Sunday School to sign a petition for a repeal of the Corn Laws , and that the teachers , male and female , signed for those who could not write their name . " Our present Correspondent , affirms this to be an infamous libel upon the character of the Repealers at Macclesfield , aud states that there has been no petition at all on the subject this year . The paragraph wa # insorted upon the authority of a communication from Maeclcbfidld , authenticated by what seemed to be a real name and signature . We have handed the name of the party to our present Correspondent , of whom we know nothing more than ofi the other , and so leave the matter between them .
BRADFORD . —Election of Guardians . —On Thursday night week , the enumeration of voters for each candidate nominated as Guardians for the Bradford townships was closed , and the following was the result : —John Ward l , 0 C 8 votes , John Stead 969 , Jnhn Bilton 885 , TRiohard Newby 831 , Joahaa Brigg 754 , John Hill 639 ; these six were declared duly elected .

It mny be observed that the Hve first of those elected for Bradford township are opponents of the New Poor Law , and strongly opposed to the erection of the
Union workhouse ; the sixth , we understand , is favourable . In the two other townships of the Union where the election of Guardians was contested , Samuel Cowling and James Booth were chosen for Idle , and Thomas Leach for Wilsden . In all the other townships of the Union there was no contest , and the following are the returns : — Allerton , W .

energeuo appeal is made to the humane , and the admirers ot the " factory child ' s friend , " to show , by their attendance on the occasion , the esteem and affection in which they hold him .

John Livsoy , of Manchester ; Mr . John Broadbent and Mr . James Duko , of Ashton ; Mr . Isaac Johnson , Mr . James Burton , Mr . Isaac Armitage , Mr . Thomas Ho worth , and Mr . George Wareham , of Stockport . These men complain of the neglect shewn towards them By men in authority . In order to prevent their been unnecessarily detained , as others had been before , they spoke to the Governor to warn the magistrates of their release , eo that they might have their
recognizances signed . They had made all preparations for coming oat at bait-past ten o ' clock , but , however , they were compelled to open their boxes to be searched , and those which had been nailed up , had to be un-nailed again . After which , they were runniug up and down the town in search of a magistrate , in company with the Governor ' s clerk , but not one could they find , until they accidentally met Mr . Walker in the street ; this detained them till a quarter past four o ' clock , before they could leave Chester , consequently it was nine o ' clock before they arrived in Manchester , which completely frustrated the arrangements of tbeir friends , who had promised to meet them at the Station at four o ' clock . They conclude this step wa > taken by the authorities to disappoint their families in meeting them—all letters having ^ gone through the Governor's hands ; and , of course , he would be aware how to manage it .

John Livesey , who had j ' ust arrived from Chester , entered the room and was received with the must enthusiastic and vociferous cheering . He rose to respond and would content himself with informing that meeting and the country at large , that instead of the persecution , prosecution , and incarceration deterring him from advocating the Charter . It had made him more determined to proceed . ( Cheers . ) He would not say more at that time , because it was late , but hoped he should have shortly a more favourable * opportunity . A vote of thanks was given to the chairman at the close of the meeting .

LATEST FROM THE UNITED 5 TATES . The Britannia , mail-steamer , arrived on Wednesday at Liverpool , from Halifax , after a speedy but rough passage of thirteen days from the latter port ; bringing accounts from New York to the 15 th , and Boston to the 16 th ult ., inclusive . The intelligence thus received , which has been so anxiously looked for , is not of importance . The affair of M / Leod was still in $ CsCu 9 wo , and himself in prison at Lockport , awaiting his trial , to which , however , it was not thought he would be brought . Rumours prevailed , that our minister , Mr . Fox , had demanded the release ot'M'Lcod , or his own passport , but the statement is not founded uponauthority . The boundary question remained also untouched since our last advices .
( From the New York American , March 15 . J We have now increased confidence in the belief that no serious difficulties will interrupt our relations with Great Britain . Meanwhile , however , all possible precautions to prevent the occurrence of any untoward events on the frontier are taking by the Administration . Major-General Scott , not less distinguished as a pac . fi -nor , than , at need , as a dashing soldier , arrived here la- ^ t night from Washington , on his way to the Niagara frontier , to tako all proper measure * to repress or repel auy partisan outbreaks that mii ; ht arise in the course and by reason of M'Leod ' s trial at Lockport .
That trial is noticed , we believe , for this day week , not this day , as has heretoforo be « n stated ; and we hear it rumoured from Washington , and we believe truly , that the Attorney-General of the United S ; ates , Mr . Crittend ^ n , will be present at Lockport , on behalf of the United States , to take such steps as the case may warrant .
