It will be remembered that in Fobrosry last , a committee , consisting of Mr . Murgatroyd , of Bradford , and three other gentlemen , j-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 snch steps as might be thought most advisable . The report stated that the losses of the concern would amount to four-fifths of the original capital , £ 800 , 000 ; and as the trust deed required a dissolution of the company , whenever
the loss amounted to one-fourth of the capital , p t recommended an immediate diB olution , and tne 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 in the end a resolution framed in accordance with the recommendation of the report was carried almost unanimously . The meeting did not break up till after four o ' clock , having lasted four honre . 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 .

Muscrofi , surgeon , of Fontefract , gave it as his opinion that Ihe 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 her cnorage , the consequence of cutting off the limbs . The jury found a verdict of ** Wilful murder" against some peroon or persons unknown .
SlSCELLB DlSCOVKAT OF A CtffiTSB AT SlAHLBT , keab Wakepibld . —The other day , as some workmen were employed in digging about the door-way of the old workhouse at Stanley , they cameito a plain modern coffin , which contained the corpse of a child supposed to have been about two years old at its death .

house with Mb son , determined on a separation in order to avoicUiamily Broils . However , in dividing thegoods , angry words -were bandied about in the usual manner , in consequence of the son demanding a lxrger portion than the old man seemed disposed to allow . The result was that the son threatened to shoot his parent , and proceeded a distance of half a mile to procure a gun in order to put hi ? threat into execntion . On his return ho presented the loaded gun at the old man , bst 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 elnded pursuit . Nevertheless , no doubt exists but the vigilance of the officers will result in his apprehension before Ithis Teaches the public eye . "W e shall be enabled to give in our next , a more detailed account
of the circumstances , from the evidence given on the coroner ' s inqnest , and on the examination of ; the parricide , who cannot long escape the hand of jasiice .

successively-The ** Makchesteb . Times * and the Ftjstiau Cctxebs . —The columns of the Manchester 1 % mes have been lately occupied in endeavouring to make its readers believe that the fustian cutters of j the town of Manchester aTe receiving more wageB bow than they have donB Jbr many years past . Such not being the case , we a ^ k for a small spaee inf the columns of the People ' s paper for a statement of facts that cannot be controverted ; facts which will let ihe people see that instead of the fustian cutters having an increase of wage , they arenow receiving less by nearly two-thirds than they were eighteen years ago . And ever since that time , like all other branches of the cotton trade , year by year , they have been getting less . The following statement is taken from the masters list of prices : — For cutting ninety-six yardB of Tabby Velvet—3835 . £ 12 0

It is here demonstrated that a rednction of 2 * . 6 d . has actually taken place within the last twelve montts .

SHEFFIELD . Dreadfux Thunder and Bajl Stohm . —Wednesday Evening ; eleven o ' olook . —Sheffield has this evening been visited by a storm , the like of which has but rarely been known . It commenced about five o ' clock and continued with more or less violence for the space of three hours , from six o ' clock to Seven wsb the worst portion , during which time the thunder bellowed , and the lightning flashed without intermission , accompanied by a terrifno hurricane of hail which has done damage in the town to an incalculable amount . In fact had the town been bombarded it eonld scarcely have suffered so much injury in the matter of glass . The following is a brief description of the state of some of the princi Dal streets , public buildings , workshops ,
Ac , &c;—the Tontine , several panes smashed ; Town-hall , face of the clock broken ; Castle-street , Snig-hill , West-bar , and Bank-street , large numbers of panes broken ; Stanley-street , Walker-street , Andrew-street , Nursery-Bireet , &o . have severely BufEered ; at Hunter ' s faotory , Longley ' s , coachbuilder , ana 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 faotory upwards of 140 panes demolished . We have traversed St ; James ' -street , Church-street , Burge ? s-Btreet , Sheffield Moor , Charles ' -Btrfet , Furnival-street , Dbctor'a-fields , Lead Mill-road ,
Suffolk-street , Howard-street , Eyre-street , Surrey-street , & 3 ., &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 j Vicarage , a large number ; HaUamshire Bank ^ skylighta destroyed ; a workshop , in New Church-street , above 140 s Brunswick Chapel , above ICO ; St .

The above list is correct as far as it goes , but will give but a very inadequate idea of the immense destruction occasioned by the 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 rioh harvest from this " crash of elements" and M wreck of 7 '—windows '
Chubch RATESt—A public meeting was held m the school room of the parish of Handsworth , 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 "Woodhouso people attended the meeting , which was called for ten o ' clock in the forenoon , a most unseasonable hour for the working classes . It was the intention of the Chartists to have proposed a working man to the chair , but they were advised not to do bo by the respectables , and consequently no opposition was offered 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 gives when another meeting would be holden . So saying , his Reverence bolted . Tlie meeting remenstrated 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 one of the jackall ' s replied that the meeting had had a fine forenoon ' s walk , and would have the opportunity of another before long ! After some discussion , relative to the shabby and insulting manner in which they had been treated , the meeting broke up .
BRADFORD—A public meeting of the wool combers was holden on Monday evening last , in front of the Odd Fellows 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 the object of the meeting , and introduced Mr . Tytler to move the first rssolntion—** That an Association be formed 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 commence doing pomethine for
tbem-Beives , beiore the power was altogether taken from them by the constant reduction of wagts . 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 the 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 locate seventyfive persons weekly on farms of five acres each , with a capital of £ 5 t each to commence with ; and thus thereafOBld 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 Pe&ple's Charier , in spite
of the power of the anstocraoy . Mr . Arran also clearly showed the statements made by Mr . Linton , of Selby , to be correct ; and fully explained the manner of that * gentleman ' s method of producing from bis small allotment of laud , such a quantity of useful vegetables as to make so handsome a return for the labour expended . The Ttsohuion was supported by Mr- Symth , who combated the objections raised by tome parties against the people going on to the land , and showed the superiority of small farms over large oues , both as a means of producing mere capital and increasing trade in the manufacturing districts , thereby producing a home market , which would be free from the continual dread of panic so fatal to the labourer . The resolution was carried without a dissentient voice . The Chairman then read the rules
for the conducting of the Association , and announced a meeting to take place on Saturday evening , at seven o ' clock , in the ; Chartist Room , Butterworthbuildings , to alter and ; amend the rules as the meeting should then tbmk proper ; likewise to enrol members , and appoint a treasurer , and form the town into districts to enable the people to pay thtir coniributions without , mnch trouble . The meeting broke up highly satisfied at , the prospect of discovering the meanB of relieving their forlorn condition .
Sudden Death . —On Saturday morning , a oommer cial traveller went into the Odd Fellows' Arms , Thornton-road , and a « ked for a private room , compjaining of illness . He was shown into the traveliers' -room . In the apace ot half an hour tho landlord entered the room , and found him on the < ofa , in a fit . Assistance was immediately procured ; but he died in a short time . An inquest was held on the body , when it was ascertained ti » at he was in the employ of Mr . Pease , of Darlington , and that he died of aooolpxy . Verdict accordingly .
HO 1 BECK . Mesmkbic Phkenologt . —On Wednesday and Friday evenings , June 28-h and 30 * b , Mr . T . B . Smith delivered two able and talented lectures on the above science , in the Large Room , Holbeck Bridge , to highly attentive audienceB . The lectures were eminently original , and took up tho subject of mesmeric-phrenology on entirely new ground , which excited much aitent on . In the first lecture Mr . S . endeavoured to prove that mesmerism and magnetiem were in reality the same thing , making several ; remarks npon tho effects of electricity and the loadstone , and comparing thtir tffceta with that of meserism ; he then proceeded to demonstrate that the real nature of man could only be discovered by means of hnsmerie-pbrenology . The arguments on both parts of the subjtct were cojjent and convincing . In the second lecture the perfect
consistency of mesmerism and phrenology with true religion was ably demonstrated . After which the discoveries of Mesmerism were applied as tne on ) y means to the effectual elucidation 01 the Scripture miracles , the latter beiae cited in illustraiiou . The reasoning of the lecturer was applied with such tffect as to convince both Materialists and mere Sectarian Christiana that the science of Meeaiurio Phrenology was understood by neither , and . was calculated to produce results which must iu their consequences revolutionize the world .

"REBECCA" IN WALES . Carmarthen , Joxt 4 . —T find that the re ? ult of Mr . Vlaule ' 8 attendance here ia 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 . Mauta and Mr . Raven , who attends with him , and those functionaries are now engaged in preparing the necessary indictments . A woman of the name of Frances Evans was last nighi . apprehended at Cilgwynucha , and examined to-day before a full bench of magistrates , charged wiih having participated in the riot at Carmarthen workhouse , and witn having incited and led the mob on that occasion . Mr . Maale and Mr . Raven attended the examination , which was conducted in Welch , as the prisoner was unacquainted with Engjish .
Sarah Thomas , the schoolmistress of the union workhonse , being sworn , deposed to having been at the workhouse on Monday , June 19 th , 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 Steves , 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 she 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 foroe themselves ; and one of them said he would spill every drop of blood in his body before they would lose the day , for they did not fear the military . 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 in the 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 had seen enough of the workhouse , 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 rooza was broken open , and she was put in fear of her life . She sa . w the violenoe of the mob increasing , and believed that if the military had not arrived when they did , the workhouse would have been pujled down or destroyed . Another witness having given similar testimony , the prisoner , who declined saying anything , was held to bail to appear aud take her trial at the
assizes . Tne attack upon and destruction of the gates not only is continued with increased daring , bat is spreading into a wider locality . 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 individual has been apprehended . A night or two since they marched in very large numbers to the Scleddy gate , near Fishguard ( where the French landed in 1798 ) , aad in a very short 9 ime demolished the gates , posts , and houses , and broka the toll boards , &c , info pieces so email that in
the morning not a psece was discovered larger than would be fie for matchwood . After tho work of destruction had been completed , the whole party left in the direction of the Haver ford west road . Ou the same night they attacked the Fishguard Iitti-ga-te , which , they also broke in pieces ; they then proceeded to the toll-bar at the other end of Fiobguard , where they attacked the toll-keeper ' s house , the windows of which they demolished . Things have now reached such a pass , that it is thought by respectable persona of the neighbourhood , that unless stopped , both private property and persons travelling on the roads will shortly bo rendered very insecure .
They appear now to have adopted plans to harass the soldiery . Last night , from information received , the troop of the 4 th Dragoons were ordered to mount at eleven o ' clock , to march to some gate in the neighbourhood ; just , however , as the men were about to start at a gallop , subsequent information was received which prevented their proceeding . The troop of Dragoons at St . dear ' s were also ow upon the roads all night , lights having been shown at various spots which induced them to believe that an attack was being made on gates in different situations , —Times , Friday .
