jesoorces to suppress it , Eurely , mutatis mulan'dis , and hy a parity of reasoning , ire have-now a jastifi- ' able demand npon the French Exchequer , for the purpose of suppressing the same spirit in England irhich if not silenced would set a had example to France and to the world . All the bickerings and jealeusy as to the right of search , hostile tarif& Spanish marriages , insulting gasconade , murdering of a mere Ssherm&n , Portngnese commercial-treaty anfl snch like trifles , we but matters of mitor detail ¦ jyben compared with the roaring thunder of the popular "voice , now universally directed against
2 £ n £ craft , Priesfccrafij and Class Legislation , and by which lungcraft and Priestcraft have been so long up held . Is is well known that for the last fifty years England has been in a state of Bankruptcy , brought about by her over-Kind interference in the policy of other nations ; and all with a view of holuing America in subjection , and upholding the Bourbon title to the throne of France ; whereas , if the gums squandered in those two fruitless endeavours bad been expended upon the cultivation of our domestic resources , we should bow hare heen
independent of Loos Philippe and the Chelsea Pensioners ; of American Tariffs ana Portuguese Comm ercial Treaties ; of French restrictions and Spanish revolutions ; of Bnssian pride , Chinese markets , and the Gates of Somnauih : in fact , we should hare been in a position to b . aT 6 given battle to all who dared to invade our shores , our liberties , or our lights 5 instead of , as now , our weakness making us a prey to all who choose to insult us , and our dependency placing U 3 at the * aercy of all who will condecend to traffic with us .
"Who will Tenvure to assert that the invasion of Ireland iylan army of Frenchmen , may not be at the present moment matter of diplomatic consideration 1 Sir B . OBE 5 T Peel has very wisely and very prudently abstained from the use of physical force for the suppression of the Repeal agitation . We have said it before , and we repeat it here , that Sir Hobsbt Peel is very far from being a cruel or a bloodthirsty man , but , cui bono , if his temperance and forbearance can be overawed by the cunning of Loos Philippe , and the plum , subserviency of &CIZ 31 , who in all things is ready to obey the
injunctions of his wily master . Gnaor is a Tory of the olden school 5 professing much liberality , of which , however , he and his party must be the dispensers . "With > " ? n and them it is notlwhat shall be done , but who shall do it ! And the question with both will be , how O'Coxxell can be subdued , and how Ireland can be preserved as the draw farm of England , upon condition that Spain should become the Poland of Franca ? A 3 we stated last week , if the visit of her Msjesty and her Ministers to
Locis Phiixippe and his Ministers should take any political turn , Locis will take care to play Spain against Ireland ; and , as if onr Ministers were determined to be ready to cover the stake without hesitation , they have , Eince we last wrote , recognised the legitimacy of the present ruffian Government of Spain , whose policy it is to proclaim a little creature of thirteen years of age as Queen of a country whose Government has , for scores of years , baffled the sagacity of the wisest statesmen .
The abandonment of tha anti-Repeal demonstration by the Orange usurpers of Ireland , in compliance with the mandate of Losdosdesbi , the brother of the memorable Castlereabb , must have been a consequence of some Cabinet secrets , communicated by the Koble Marquis to the Earl of Rodes , head of the Orange faction . We can well understand the effect which something like the following note would have : —
Mt deas Bodes , —In my former communication hinted to yon that the Bake had a grand stroke oi policy in contemplation . Ton are aware that "with him , although alow to speak , yet it is ever a "word and a blow , execution rapidly foUoiring design . Sbonid yon still perseTera in holding the contemplated meeting on ths 7 th , jou "will arm the enemy , and disarm oar frienda Though I felt rather sore about Durham , yet these are not times to stick at trifles ; and when I ircnld abstain from embarrassing Peel's administration , yon may gueaa that it is for a wise purpose . There are tircumsfcncea now in acitation , which I dare not even Met at , but ot jrhich yon wiH be shortly put in psssessien ; and nothing could more "tend to frustrate vrliat I am sure yon
anxiously desire than a perseverance in the determination to hold the Auta-Bspsal meeting npon the Trh . As however , you may probably -require some feasible pretext far its postponement , I have written a letter concocted by , «™ 3 which has received the concurrence of the whole cabinet , taking the responsibility upon myself , and which yon are at perfect liberty to publish . "Baden , remember tow -we won our estates ; let ns be cautiou 3 l ( ow we run tha chance of losing them . Trusting that yon -srillsee the wisdom of the course suggested in my letter , I am , dear Boden , Ever yours , TA 5 B LOSDD ^ DERBT .
Uow , whether the JToble MaTquis did or did not write any such letter as the above we cannol come to other conclusion thaa that his published letter to Uqdes was a stroke of Cabinet policy ; nor can we think otherwise than that Rode * would have required some stronger inducement than any contained in that letter to prevail upon him to abandon bis long-talked of project . Meantime , however , we cannot for the life of nas see how they are to reach O'CoKSELxbyiword or statute . Be « too strong for the former , and too sage for the latter . How , then , we cannot help aEking , is the Repeal Agitation to be suppressed j or wherein are we to have the
first evidence that Jrer Majesty , notwithstanding her express determination , i 3 more powerfnl than O'Con-3 fEixl Indeed we never have been able to discover that royalty gives strength ; and therefore her Majesty ' s Ministers should have thought twice before they made her Majesty say , that she would do , what in all probability , she may not be able is eff-ct-O'Coxsell laughs at them the while ; and instead of relaxing , actually hurls defiance ; and in the very teeth of the annihilation speech he literally proposes the very strongest measure ever yet propoanded for weakening the Queen ' s prerogative . We mtan the jelection of Arbitrators who shall henceforth
constitute the Executive of the country . We , who have always contended for the right of the people to appoint their own magistrates , and who have always desirftd to destroy the trade of fleecing attornies , hail this new move with pleasure and delight ; because it is a step in advance ; ' a measure rdtb which the pnhlie mmd will be familiarized , by the time that the People ' s Charter will render it perfectly legal to adopt it . If the Ro » e . ns
and the Lo > "do 5 DEXrts , the Wzlubstoh 3 and the Gtjjzots had been wise , they would have tried the self-consuming system , in the hope that tte Repeal agitation would have exhausted itself ; while they may resi assured that the very first act of tyranny against Ireland or O'Co . tsell , will rally around him an amount of sympathy , strength , and determination which all the crowned heads in Europe would attempt to resist in vain .
There are many , very many , who now look npon fbe struggle withoat taking ' part in it , bat who nevertheless , although slow in joining , will be Eure to take tie right side . ; There is something so trnly ludi-CKras in ^ mode of government that we cannot avoid beia $ forcibly strnck with the contrast which * k e frisk Arms' Bill and the thandering reception of her Brit £ unie Majesty furnishes . In Ireland the Possession of a pocket pistol is prima facie proof of irea soa against the possessor ; while monarchs
cannot meet to indulge in the common eourtesies © f life ¦ without being enveloped in cloHds of smoke , and Btimned by fte noise of those arguments by which * h"J hold their rule . We cannot avoid directing the especial attention of the starring operatives of the North io the load and flattering reception which ° ar Qaeen has met at the hands of the King of the Barricades ; nor can we refrain from thinking that those operative * will conlraet their present condition ¦ with what it might be -aader a system of cheap forernment .

TO THE PEOPLE .
My dear FaiENDS , —Once more landed on the shores of " Merry England , " you will be looking to me f » r s ^ me notice of my " journeyings" in * " the land o ' cakes . " You will be wanting to know " what the land looks like" —what is the aspect of our cause —what the people ' s opinion ef our prospects—and what my own opinion of the people where 1 have been . We hare " held chat together" so long that many of you have identified yourselves with me in a kind of personal friendship ; yon get interested in all that appertains to me , and wait anxiously for my detail of " adventures , " "incidents of travel , " and ali the etceteras of a friend ' s ramble amoug friends \ and a still greater number of you , debarred from all chance of traveling yourselves , like to learn something , from parties whom you can trust , about places which you cannot see . All this is a very proper and a reasonable feeling , and I devote this letter to its gratification .
My tour was to have been one of combined " agitation" and reereatioB ; in the hope of serving to some extent the cause , and of reiniigorating , to some little extent , my shattered coDStiiution . The latter end has been served , far beyond my most sanguine expectations ; 1 am worth more by half for the field now vhan when I started ; and I hope that the cause has received no damage from my tour . Bat the labour pretty effectually absorbed all the * - ' recreation " , and converted my rapid gallop through the country into what , if my heart had not been in ihe work , might have well passed for " a toil of a pleasure ' . I ' osting from place to place as fast aa foar horses , a steam-boat , or a railway carriage could ratUe along , seldom stopping beyond a
; night or so in a place , lecturing wimewhere almost | every evening , and two or three times on Sundays , together with the " long chats" of scores of friends who in every place crowded to my lodgings , left me precions little time for " sight seeing ' . I can tell ; you very little , therefore , abi > ut the " lions" of the ; different places which I visited : I had bo time to . look at them . But I can tell you of that in which : you will , I am persuaded , feel at least an equal in-¦ tercst ; of the state , aspect , and prospect of Char-| tinn ; and something of the cocdnion of the people . The general complaint , which met me in almost : ev ^ ry town , was ** The agitation is dead " . The enthusiasm of the people ceems to hare greatly gone ' down , every where . Great demonstrations ,
expensive and numerous processions , and nags , banners , music , and hurraing noisea . are by no means so plcntiful ; it is even ciScull to get the people ont to hear lectures . AH this has , to some parties , a | discouraging aspect . They interpret it as evidence j of apathy , and of declension in our cause . To my ) mind , it conveys altogether different information : 1 i rejoice to see it . It id evidence to me of onward pro-¦ ' gress of the only character likely to be lasting , and i therefore worih anything . It shows me that the . ' people have ceased to be the creatures of passion ; that they are less easily affected by suddeD gusts of
feeling , and more addicted to habitudes of thought . : Tne best evidence that thi * is so ; and that the quiet , sober demeanour of the people i 3 not from apathy is the fact , that however " dead" Chartism may be in : any tovrn , 1 always find , upon inquiry , that nothing ' -eise can live . Let but the factions , either , or ; any of them , take the field fairly ; let j them but venture to give room for the f expression of opinion , and they soon £ nd ! out whether Chartism be * dead . " Tbi 3 waB the [ universal cry throughout all Scotland . In almost ! every plae- ? I came to , my first question was— " Well , ¦ how siancJs Chartism V * Anu the answer
was" Why , we are all den . d here . We can get a meeting upon any great occasion . If the enemy take the field , toe people wili tura out . If an anti-Corn Law meeting was to be beld to-morrow , with but slight notice , and dijcusMon allowed , thty would master strong , and carry all before them . Any other party never thinks of it . Neither Tories dot Whigs , merely a > such , would dare to hazard aDy appeal to tne public voice . They will turn -out , too , upon extraordinary occasions to our own meetings . If a , s * . Tan >;* -r . who is much respected , come ; or one from whom they expect to lrarn something ; we shall have a good meeting for instance , to hear you ; bui , $ < -uerally speakiDg , there is a great slackness about ibe people . They require some excitement to
? ur them np . They seem tu cd of leciHring , and tired of the ag'taiion altogether . " Now , I am weil pleased with this . 1 rejoice io see the " agitation" giving place io a " determination , " cool , noiseless , and um »> tfB '_ aUGus , but ready , whenever wanted , to shew ihai principle 5 inks deeply into honeht hearts . It is to ms the most pleasing feature of the times ; worth all ibe " great demoiL&tzationB , " all the proces ^ jon ^ , ail ihe nags , banners , and music , and expensive iclc pageantry which erstwhile made onr " agitation" as puerile as it was conspicuous and imposing . These things were nseful then , and they were necessary then ; they had their work to do ; and tinre are districts of ike country in which there are siib lix-e uses for them . When the public miud
is but indifferently informed , and when its judgment is to a great extent tmJonned , it is Deoeesary to eukst . ihe senses , and to claim attention iy external oi .-p ay , that you may form that very character whica ia dow in process of devel pment . Tie people qo not " agitate" now , because they have learnt the vahie ot ** agitation" ; they have discovered it to be the iroth upou tie surface of the good liquor , and they now blow the froth aside and drink the liquor . They do not , in the old cultivated Chartist districts , come out to hear lecures ; just because they know all that the lecturer ^ can tell them . Tbey have beard ihe old story over and over again til ] ttoej are tired of it . T&ey are quite aware that ** God and nature did not make one man with a
saddle on his back and another with a pair of tpars on his heels "; that " no man was born with a pen behind iris ear and an inkhorn at the tip of his nose "; they know that all the points of the Charter are points of righieousnessand truth j that every man has aright to the vote , and ihat no mm has a right to more votes than one ; that each has a right to be represented , and that all shonJd be represented equ&llj ; that no man has a right to coerce or control another in the exercise of bis "vote ; that intelligence and honesty should qualify a man te represent his fellows whether he have " property 1 ' or not ; that " short reckonings make long friendships " , and tnat " the labourer is worthy of his hire "; tbey know all about tt ; e .= e things ; they know that thsy are all true and
tnat no good argument can be brough ; against them ; they have heard them stated , proved , and argued by all sorts of lecturers in all sorts of ways ; they find that , though each man may have a different way of telling it , they all do tell the same story ; and , as they know the story off by heart , they don't cate to hear it told any more : and hence the appearance of apathy and carelessness which so dispirits unreflecting minds . It does not dispirit me in the least degree . On the centrary , 1 rejoice in il . But there is one feature c » nnected wiib it which is uot no pleasing to me , aod which J hope to see instantly corrected . The same feeling of conscious intelligence which induces the people to cease " sipiatinx ' , and to - " lie on their oars" waiting till successive caHs for e&ergy may eoBK , has

indnced them also to become careless , to a great extent , about organizing . In the absence of any effective National Organization , the several local Organizations , having been identified with the '' agitation " , have been neglected ; and thus in many of tha very best Chartist districts there is no Association—no Committee—no " public body" of any kind although , individually , there are more Chari tists than there ever were . I have many letters by ! me stating the anxiety of scores of Chartists in different places for mtfA visit them , but statin ? that they canno ; " in vile" me in the terms which I require ; because I had publicly declared that I t
Would not accept individual invitations , and there was no public body from whom , as a body , the invitation could come . This I do regard as matter of regret . Without Organization of some kind , the people , however intelligent , are powerless . And no National Organization can exist , save as the aggregate of local bodies . The people must see to j this ; and at once . They must keep together . This j is not more necessary for the concentrating of their i powers than for their increase . They have a forj midable enemy to cope with ; and th , ey need the j moral energies of all their brethren combining with \ their own .
A large mass of society is yet uninformed , and can never be informed , upon Chartist subjects , until they , who do know them , send out missionarie ? , which they can never do individually : they must , for this purpose , act together . I have endeavoured to point the attention of the people where I have come to this subjeot ; and to shew them the difference between the uses of Organization , and thoBe of " agitation . " Each has its uses . Those of Organization are permanent ; while those of " agitation " cease when the people become enlightened and their opinion fixed . I trust that I have not handled this subject vainly : that the plan of Organization which is
being adopted by the Conference at Birmingham , while I am writing , will receive , when it appears , all due and careful attention ; and , if simple , efficient , and legal , as I hope it will be , that it will be at once universally adopted , and acted on . Scotland has no delegates at Birmingham ; but the Scotch are not therefore " apathetio" as to the labours of the ConfereHce . They are looking to them with great anxiety , and will , I believe , heartily co-uperate in any plan which may , ia their opinion , have these three characteristics . Whether they do so or not I . do trust that they will at once see that Chartism ehall have in every place not merely " life " but have
" A local habitation and a name , " a formal front and bearing which shall make them known , not merely to the frienda ol faction round them , but all over . " I never saw Chartism more prosperous in any place than I think it to be just now in Edinburgh and Leith . They are choice spirits ; the Chartists there ; and though comparatively few of them hold together ; though they have no regular place of meeting publicly in Edinburgh ; and though they are the snbjectB of foal vituperation and petty annoyance by quondam " leaders , " they are , almost to a man , intelligent , deep thinking , sober-headed , far-eee ' ng , honest men . They are aound at the core . They look to principle and to that only . They will natter no man ' s vanity , aor suffer themselves to be hoodwinked . They walk on their own feet and borrow no stilts . They are a sound , healthy , hearty , set of fellows , to whose warmest affections the best and only passport is honesty and truth .
To any Chartist friends who may visit Edinburgh I commend the Coffee House of Mr . Cranstoun , 12 ° , High-street , as an abiding place . It is the resort of the Chartist friends . They will find there the elite of Chartism for companionship ; and accommodations as comfortable , and charges as reasonable , as any man can wish . ; And , while upon this subject , I may say as much , and with great propriety , for the Odd FeHovrs' Arms , Qjeen-street , Aberdeen , kept by Mr . Bain ; and the Temperance Coffee House , at Hamilton . I forget the Landlord ' s name , at Hamilton—he is a bookseller ; but at both these houses I found everything in the way of comfort , civility , and kindness that any man could wish ; and I think it due to my English friends to tell them where tbey are to be had .
In Aberdeen the movement stands high . There are here two distiociboaies ; the Church of which Mr . Lowery is pastor ; and the Democratic or Chartist Association , meeting in their own Ha . ll . They both muster pretty well for strength , and they w <> rk cordially together , There has been less of" bickering" in Aberdeen than in most other towns- A beautifal spirit of frieudly fellow feeling seemB to be now prevalent among them ; and , 1 pray God it may long continue . In Montrose a few gallant lads have determinedly made head against the storm , aud under many difficulties still M man the ship" and keep her afloat .
In Dundee the Chnrch has kept Chartism alive . It has been long the only prominent form in which it could be recognized . The Democratic Council — a few choice spirits—kept themselves together ; they kept up "life "' in the thing , to be sure ; but it was a disembodied spirit ; while the Church supplied to it fl ; sh and bonts , and sinews . Soch is their condition now ; and I have great hope that this unittd spirit and body of Chartism will derive new strength from the pastor who has inst gone from England to reside among them . The Vale of Leven is Kke situate . The spirit of Chartism is diffused throughout the whole population ; the Church is the form in which it appears , and the school ib themeany of ensmiaj' its continuance and
progress . The pulpit and tbe school desk are ably occupied by Mr . Roberts . Of , Glasgow , I may tell about the same story as of Dundee and of the Vale . There aro a few fine fellows ; Moir , Colquhoun , aud a few others , who may perhaps be called non-Church Chartists ; hot that they oppose the Church , or that they place themselves in conflict with its leaders , and vituperate them for being " Church Chartists , " or ** Bible Chartists , " " Temperance Chartists" ; they havo more sense . But they do not identify themselves with the Church ; they advocate Chartism separately and distinctly from it . But though these excellent men are " in themselves a host , " the strength and power of Chartism at Glasgow is in the three Chartist congregations of the City , Gorbale , and Anderston . The O'Connellite Kepealers muster very strong in Glasgow . It was
thought exceedingly desirable , if possible , to effect a junction between them and the Chartists : an effort was made for it at the end of my lecture , as 1 told you in my last letter . It failed ; and I advise that no more such efforts be made . Leave the O'Cohnellites alone . ' Let them go their own way . At publio meetings , when " tho Repeal" is the matter of discussion , give ihem your assistance by the assertion of your opinion on that question abstractedly and on its own merits , and independent of any other consideration . If they have the manly honesty to act similarly by us , let us at public meetings receive their assistance cheerfully ; if they do not ; if they join with the " League" and with the enemies of freedom to suppress us , let us pity ttum ; let our warfarebe merely defensive—never offensive—against men who are struggling lor liberty .
In no part of Scotland did I find Chartism more pleasing in its aspect than at Hamilton . Here in the midst of a very poor population—chitfly haudloom weavers—I had a Church full of a-s intelligent and honest looking facts as I ever saw . Temperance , intelligence , and induitry—all ihe best qualifies of individual character combine to give the Chartists of this place the stamp of superiority . I was delighted with them . Campsie is a spirited little place , and theie are some good men in it . Of the other places which i visited , I have not much to particularize ; I was well received by all of them ; and the general description above given of the " dead agitation" but the living principle of freedom may well enough describe all of them .
The thing most gratifying to my mind in the Scottish Chartists is the cool-bearingand discretion of the people . They have very little of the blind trustfulness of the Irish or of the hoiheaded , unreasoning entbu 5 iasai which characterizes many of the Engli .-h ; and hence , Xhougn they bave enough of dissension among " leaders , " the people do not let the caasc he damaged ; they coolly kick the brawlers overboard . I have no doubt thai when tl : e news came of my separation from the Star , and ef my difference with O'Connor , which induced it , the scamps who live and feast upon disunion were in high glee . la face , I know they were . They thought" Now , we shall have a feast ! " The jackals of faction were in like expectation ; and some of them attended my soirees
to '" louk out . " At Glasgow , one of" these eavesdroppers came big with expectation ; pencils , notebook , and all prepared , to make the most of the '" expose " ! Well , the " expose" came ; and the scamps lound that they bad miscalculated ; they had mistaken their man ; they had nothing to feed on ; and the poor fellow gathered up his "traps "—pucke : ed his pencils and his books , and went away grumbling , " D ^ cautious spet cb ; that 1 " No ; no ! The rogues will get no quarrelling from me . I am not in the habit of making the peoples' cause to bear every blow aimed only at my own bead . Let my head take care of itself ; aud if 1 cannot keep it above water , I will not ask the knaves who are disappointed at my " I ) d cautious speech" help me .
After I had left Edinburgh , on my first going there to the soiree , a gentleman of some sort , who described his self as ** a de ? egate to the Jate Conference at Birmingham , ' put out great bills , announo ing a lecture on " the tbeacheby of the late conductor of the Northern Star , fcc . " and invited disc » 9-sion . Some of my friends attended and civilly told him that they thonght him no gentleman at all . Another gentleman , a friend of the first gentleman , spoke somewhat largely about some mighty matters of accusation which he had in pickle , but which he would tell to nobody till he should have me at a publio meeting to answer them . Soaie of my warmest frienda advised me very strongly not to noiice the matter at al ! ; the more especially as no cfnzjnunic& ' . ion had been made to me by the parties , a ; id I had no means but common rumour of knowing that my name was

being thus •» taken in vain . " However , I determined to set my foot upon the thing . I think no man stands bo high aa to justify ; him in despising any other man a 9 an enemy . I am desirous not to maKe enemies , but to remove causes of enmity ; and hence I wrote to the party , and I Buppose the result of the correspondence is to be a public meeting in Edinburgh in a few weeks time—when I can return ttutner . for the parposa of calling me to account for certain of my sayings and doinga while Editor of tho Northern Star . And , though I do not think that any ot the mattera of complaint are at all fit subjects torpu olio discussion , or such as any man has any right to require public answers to , beyond those which have already been given . I have no doubt that the
explanation I shall give will remove much misunderstanding , and therefore do good ; and it is on this account solely , that I submit , them ; and not , merely for tho purpose of gratifying tho gensteman ' s passion for a display of gladiatorship ; though I do not like to lnfliot disappointment upon any man if I can help it . I like , as far as 1 can , to " give to every one that asks . " I shall return therefore to bcoUand very shortly , when this gentleman shall be gratified , aud , I hope , satisfied , with my public explanations . _ At the same time I shall take an opportunity of visiting several places to which I was invited while there , but whieh I could not go to ; my routes being previously fixed , and my engagements at HuJl compelling mo to keep to the

Dreadful Death by Burning . —Yestorday forenoon , a poor woman , eighty years of ago , named Clarke , a widow , residing in Bean-street , York Road , was unfortunately burnt to death . She has had , it appears , sufficient to live upon , but had a woman refilling with her who is in the receipt of relief from the parish , which , yesterday morning , she had gone to tho workhouse to receive , leaving Mrs . Clarke in the house by herself . On this woman ' s return , or on some of the neighbours going into the house , the horrible spectacle presented itself
of tho poor creature resting with her arms on the mantel-piece , her body literally- burnt to a cinder , and one of her arms laying at her feet . It would appear that she had been standing by tho fire , when her clothes caught the flames , and she thus met with a dreadful and torturing death , for she was quite dead vfhon found . None of the neighbours had heard any noise to alarm them , so that it would appear that so sudden had been the operation of the fire that she had been completely overcome at once , and had not had the power to make the slightest resistance to the attack of the devouring element .
Committal of a Notorious Prostitute . On Monday last , a noted prostitute , named Amelia Kay , who has beeu on tho town ever since she was about twelve years of age , was committed for trial by the magistrates at the Leeds Court House , on a charge of having robbed a man named James Carline , of two half-crowns ^ The prosecutor said he was going along East-street , on Sunday night , when he mot the prisoner , who Beized him round the waist ; he distinctly felt hor hand iu his pocket , and immediately missed his money , upon which he gave her into custody . She denied having any money at all about her , but on searching her two half crowns were found in her bosom .
JuTemle ; Delinquency . —On Tuesday last , a precocious ^ outh named James Smith , 14 years of age , was brought before Henry Hall , and Griffith Wright , Esqrs ., at the Leeds Court House , charged with a criminal assault on two little girls of the respective ages of eight and sis years . The little rascal was caught with the children in a field , and the offence was so clearly proved that the magistrates fined him £ 5 , and in default of payment sent him for two months to Wakefileld . Ood Fellows Funeral . —The members of the Earl of Durham Lodge , No . 405 , of tho Grand United
Order of Odd-Fellows , held at the house of Mr . Broughtonj , Bay Horse Inn , Briggato , Leeds , accompanied by tho District Officers , and other visitors amounting to nearly 500 members , walked in procession on Sunday last to the Cemetery , the officers of the Lodge carrying splendid gold and silver regalia , for the purpose of paying their last tribute of respect to the . mortal remains of their lamented Brother , P . V . G . Robert Hunt , who has been many years a sincere advocate of the cause of Odd-Fellowship , and in whom the members of his Lodge placed the most unbounded confidence for honesty and integrity
Robbery . —On Saturday night last , a man of the name of Isiac Bradshaw , residing at Now WortJey , near Leeds , who proenred a livelihood by hawking blacking , and other articles , was returning home about eleveii o ' clock ; when ahout half-way bitwixt Newton Bar , and the Smith's Arms , on the Gelderd Road , he was stopped by four men , and robbed of his watch and 18 . 4 . in money . The villains so illtreated the poor man , by beating him , that he lies in a very precarious state . Fatal Accident proh Machinery . —On Friday , an accident , in which two persons lost their lives , occurred at Holling ' s Mill , near Sowerby Bridge . A woman was in a room employed sorting rags , and an upright shaft which connected the machinery in tho rooms below and above , passed through it . A little girl of the name of Bates was sent an errand into the mill , and she , from curiosity , went to seo
tho woman sort rags . No one being in tho room bui tbo two parties ' , what transpired afterwards must of course be conjecture , but from tho position in which they were found , the probability is that the girl's clothes had , by some means or other , got entangled by the shaft , and that the woman , in cndeavourii g to release her , got entangled also , and wheu they were round both of them were quite dead , the girl folded fast in the woman ' s arms . An inquest was held on the bodies at tho Friendly Inn , on Monday , and a verdict of " Accidental Death" returned , with a deodand of £ o upon the shaft . We understand that this is the first fatal accident at Holling ' s Mill , which , until June last , has been run more than half a century by Messrs . S . and J . Wateriiouse > and that the parties who have taken tho mill had a box making for the shaft which has hurried two fellow creatures so suddenly into the presence of their Maker .
Fire . —About six o ' clock on Sunday evening a firo broke out in a 6 tnall room in a mill situate at Chapel Hill , Hudderefield , occupied by Mr . Bannisier , and formerly occupied as a wood turner ' s shop . It was speedily extinguished by tho populace , who assembled in great numbers , aud lent every assistance in their power . The fire originated in consc quence Of the diversion of the old flue into a new one which had just been built , and tho flue beiog left open on Saturday night ignited the boards immediately above it . The damage done is very trifling , but had the fire happened a tew hours later , in all probability the whole mill would bave been destroyed . ^
Suicide —On Saturday night or early on Sunday morning last , a man named Francis Mason , by trade a butcher , and well known in Bradford , committed suicide in a cell at the Court House , by strangling himsblf . He had been found in the street drunk , aud was locked up by the police . The Coroner ' s Jury considering that he was insane at the time , returned a verdict of " Strangled himself while temporarily deranged . " He was sixty years of age . Sei * ure op Meat . —On Saturday morning , the
constables of Bradford got information that some bad meat was in the town , and in consequence Mr . Inghaui wtttt to the shop of Mr . Thomas Jackson , in the market , and there seiz -d a quarter of a carca , fB . lie then proceeded to a hom . e in New Leeds , and in a chamber there found a quantity more . On their return they searched Jackson ' s house , in George street , and there found nearly another quarter , in an upstairs room . All tbe meat was handed over to a jury of butchers , whe condemned it , and it was sent to the Gas-house tu be consumed .
An Expert Tiiief . —A man named John Ibbetson , was taken before the Halifax magistrates , last week , upon ; numerous charges of robbery . The prisoner has been in the habit , as appeared from the evidence adduced , of frequenting publio houses in the neighbourhood of Halifax , for several weeks past , and w , hen opportunity ofivred , of making off with whatever he could lay hoiii on , such as copper kettles , brass pans , irons , wearing apparel , spoons , &c . Though many cases might bavo been proved against him , it was deemed sufficient to take two of the more recent ones , on both of whioh he was committed for trial at the ensuing sessions .
Advance of Wagbs . —On Saturday last Messrs Craven and Harrop , manufacturers , Thornton , advanced thfe wages ot their hand-loom weavers 6 d . per out on some sorts , and 3 d . on others . Mauy of their weavers reside in Clayton , and as soon as the workruen received the advanoe , they made the case known in their locality . It soon got to the ears of Mr . 3 , Tempest , manufacturer , Clayton Heights , and he advanced 3 i . per cut . Arrival op the (^ ueen at Brighton . —The Queen arrived at Brighton , from France , on Thursday afternoon , at about a quarter past three o'clock , having left the French coast at soon after nine iu the morning .

Wages . —Two meeting ^ holden in Barnsley within tha last ! fortnight relative to a dispute concerning wages jwith a newly established firm , Messrs . Norris , Brady , and Co . The first meeting was held on Tuesday , the 29 : h ult ., F . Mirfiald in the ohair , when the following resolutions ¦} were unanimously approved of : — "That it is the ' opinion of this meeting that , in a town like Barnsley , ; depending entirely on liuea manufacturers , it is the true interest of both masters and workmen that a uniform rate of wages should be paid by all manufacturers engaged in making that fabric ; and this meeting pledges itself to use its utmost endeavours j to maintain the present rate of wages , as contained < in tho manufacturers' arranged list . "— " That this j meeting having learned with regret that Messrs . ] Norris , Brady , and Co . have paid a less rate of : wages for certain kinds of work than the rest of tho manufacturers in Barnsley are at this time
paying , this meeting is of opinion that it is an unjust ' , and cruel attack upon the jwages of tho poor weaver , and ought to be resisted by every lawful and available means . "— " That every weaver employed by the j above firm do give up their work as their pieces are finished ,, and withhold thair labours until such time as they will pay according io the printed list . ' Tho meeting then adjourned to Monday the 4 th ins ! , at which time they again assembled on Mayday Green as before . Mr . Mirficld opened the business of ' of tho meeting intimating thai ; there was a probability of some men employed by the uim in question refusing to give up their work , aud he , along wuh the committee , was afraid to au extent which might ' prove injurious to arriving at a successful issue , in i the result of the strike . J . Shaw , J . Grtmshaw , and others followed on in the sama strain , and recommended the meet iug to reconsider , aud only strike the men who were under-paid . To this the meeting I
seemed unwilling , fearing that it would at no remote period lead tot greater encroachments . Tne meeting was then addressed by R . Garbutt and John Harper , who argued at some length the nscessity of more strenuous ¦ exertions , and the more especially as some respectable houses had already declared a reduction of wages would be of no benefit to the trade ; but that should Messrs . Norris be allowed to pay under the general list , they should be compelled to lower io the same ratio , and thus the list of prices would j be virtually destroyed ; a circumstance that would prove perplexing to the masters and injurious to the men . It was then agreed to increase the number of the committee from five to twelve , and grantjthem additional powers in order that all may be done that is possible to secure justice to one aad to all . |
Boy Drowned . —On Sunday afternoon last , as two boys were playing in some empty boats lying at the coal wharf on the Rochdale Canal , Manchester , one of them observed something floating on the water , which was soon recognised to be tho body of a boy . Information was given to some boatmen who were near , and after a short time tho body was taken out ; and , from the decomposed state in whioh it was found , it could not have been in the water Ies 3 than three or four days . The same afternoon it was identified as the body of a boy named James Hibbert , aged six years , who had left homo a day or two previous : the last time he was seen alive was near tho aqueduct on the canal . An inquest was held on the body on Monday , before Mr . Chapman , borough coroner ; and , after hearing the above statement , the Jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned . "
A Child ' s Kar Bit joff by a Pis . —Matthew Brady ^ and his wife Catherine , two genuine specimens of the rougher portion of the Irish peasantry , were brought up at tho jaorough court , Bolton , on Saturday last , for an assault upon Elizabeth Clayton . It appeared that the Bradys live at New town , and , after the fashion of j their country , keep a pig " to help them a bit in the winter time . " At night , the animal is accommodated with lodging under the same roof as its master , and in the day time it is turned out to ramble in the neighbourhood . Now , it appears that this pig had acquired a peculiar antipathy to children , and had bitten nearly every child in tho street ; and when { any of their parents complained , Pa , t very coolly told them to keep their
children in the house ! Thus matters stood , the Bradys and their pig being the terror of the neighbourhood , when Mrs . Clayton's child was seized by the animal and thrown into the channel , and the savage brute bit off part of its ear before it coald be extricated . Tne mother , alarmed for the safety of her child , raa out with a hammer , and . threatened to kill the pig ; when Brady came up , snatched the hammer from her , and knocked her down . —Mr . Harris said , he bad had several complaints from parties whose children had been bitten by this pig . —The defendants made a terrible uproar in the court ; and Mrs . Clayton being afraid of farther auaoyance , they were required to find sureties to keep the peace and pay exponces . 1
Deficient Weights and Scales . —At the Bury petty sessions , on Friday last , Mr John Warburton , inspector of weights and measures , summoned the following persons , who were convicted in tho sums named : —John Wood , Rock-street , Bury * a pair of small scales for weighing sutrar , a quarter of an ounce deficient , caused by having a piece of lead hung on one of the scalos ;; GeorgB Moscrop , grocer , Old Market Place , Bury , small sugar scales a quarter of an ounce against tho buyer , caused by having paper concealed under ose end of the scales . Mr . Thomas Gruudy , solicitor , appeared for the defendants , on the grounds that j tbe profits on sugar were so small that the grocers were obliged to u * o the above , or similar meaas , to recompense them for the
: paper whioh they used to wrap the sugar in ; and | that an inspector hid no right to seize any scales on ! any pretence whatever , iiot even if he found tbem deficient . He then called Mr . Andrews , tho late deputy-constable , who stated , that it had been coin-I mon for tho last twenty years for grocers to weigh i the paper with sugar , or to havo the paper under ! the scales . —Mr . Warbuiton , the inspector , conj tended , that if persons must bo allowed to put , their scales ont of balance , either with paper or lead , ¦ there would be no safety ; and , according to tho 1 28 th section of the 5 th and 6 th William IV . the i parties so doing were liable to a penalty of £ o . — ¦ The magistrates said , they could not sanction tho i parties having the scales wrong on any grounds j whatever ; and , if the profits on sugar were so small
that the grooers could not deal honestly , they had the same power to raise tho price of the article as they had to reduce it . Mr . Wood was convicted in the penalty of 20 s ., and Mr . Moscrop 5 s . and costs . —Henry Barnes , Pits-o-th ' -Moor , for having scales similar to tho above , wasifined 5-. and costs . A'ice Yates , green-grocer , Huntley Brook , for one illegal lead weight , a quarter of an ounce deficient , dismissed with a caution jto miud better in future . Lamber Walkden , green ! grocer , Free Town , for a four-pound weight three ' quarters of au ounce , and a one pound a quarter of an ounce deficient : ordered to pay costs .

Seisubb op Apples , j Onions , &c . in Bolton Market . —On Saturday last , complaint having been made to Mr . Fogg , inspector , by a party who had bought two baskets of apples considerably under weight , he went round the market and weighed all tho apples , pears , onions , &o ., that were put up for sale , aud a considerable quantity wasseiz-d as under weight . Two or three of the parties appeared before tho Mayor , at the Borough Court , with various excuses , but the property was declared forfeited . Leaving Work without Notice . —James Rudd
was charged before the [ magistrates of Wigan , on Friday last , with leaving the employment of Messrs . Johnson and Aiuswroth ,, without giving the notice required in his agreement . This was the second charge of the above nature preferred by the complainants in the course of the week . They said , in consequence of a number of hands having absented themselves without a moment ' s notice , they were constrained to make an example . Tbe bench discharged the defendant , on condition that he returned to his work , and ordered him to pay the expences .
Seiuous Assault . —At the Borough Court , Stockport , on Saturday , a young man , named Josaph Bibby , was charged with having committed a most serious assault upon Arthur Sheridan , by striking him on the head with a hammer , and thereby fracturing his skuU , and plaping his life in jeopardy . Mr . Hudson , solicitor , appeared for the prosecution , aud Mr . W . Vaughan for the defence . It appeared from the statement of Mr . JHudton , and the evidence Of a number of witnesses , that on Friday , the 18 . ii August , the prosecutor and prisoner were engaged in repairing the mill formerly occupied by Mr . Cephus Howard , near Porjtwood Bridge , which has for some years been untenanted . At the end of the day ' s work , several of the men assembled in the
warehouse , and began to dispute aboat a clock which had been clandestinely taken from the engine-house ; and the prosecutor stating that he had seen the case in a room of which the prisoner had the charge , the prisoner called him a liar , and said if ho repeated the assertion , he would knock his bloody Irish brains out . Prosecutor repeated the statement , when the prisoner struck him on the face with his left hand , and immediately afterwards struck him a violent blow on tbe left temple with a hammer 21 b . 3 > z . in weight . The blow hifltoted a contused wound an inch long , causing a depression
of the skull , and the displacement of the temporal bone so much as to allow a little finger to pass within the skull . The prosecutor has been an inmate of the Stockport Infirmary since tho occur rence , and is not yet considered out of danger Prisoner was apprehended ; the night of the occurrence ; and , after being kept in custody a week , was admitted to bail to appear when called apoa . — The magistrates , having heard the facts of the oase , committed the prisoner to take his trial on the charge at the next Chester assizes . —Application was made for his liberation oa bail , till tfee assizes , but it was refused . !

Coach Accidents—Oa Wednesday afternoon , as one of tho Leeds coaches was on its way to Bradford , when opposite the Sun Inn , at Stanningly , it ran into a phaeton , in which was Mr . Haich , of the Bottoms , Halifax , and anothsr ' gentleman , and injured it so severely that it will require extensive repairs before it can be travelled in again . The coach was also nearly upset , and the horses taking fright at the time , ail things seemed unpropitious , but , fortunately , with the assurance of th *; inhabitants of the town , further mi ^' iief was prevented . Several of the passengers got off , and refused to proceed further on the coach , and waited until acoi ^ r coach came up . The coachman alleged that Mr . * I . was on the wrong side the road , while that
gentle-\ 1 : - | 1 man bkmed the coachman , and said he was driving sd fast that it was impossible to get out of tho way . —Last Tuesday , as one of the coaches was going past Northowram , a boy of the name of Barrett £ Ot up behind to ride , and when getting dowa hi 3 trowsers caught hold of some part o * the i cpach , and in stretching out his leg : o get it loose , ; it became entangled in ttie wheel , and was biokea . i He might have been killed had not one of tho pas-1 eengers seen his perilous situation , and called out j to the coachman to stop ; he pulled up immediately , i aud no further injury was done . The boj is recovering . Such an . accident , and eo narrow aa j o ? cape from death , ought to be a warning both to himself and others , against tho practice of ri-iirg behind ooaches .

He was bronght beforo tho magistrates on Tuesday , at the Town Hall , and still persisted in the statement , and e » id that about twelve months ago he had been apprehended for being a deserter , biit there being no proof of his desertion in the depot whither he was tak * n , he had been discharged . Mr . Maude then told him the serious consequences of any one , without cause , giving himself up as a deserter ; to which the prisoner replied , " I wish I could say I was free .

Ireland—Anti-Rent War . — " On Sunday last , " says the Carlow ¦ Sentinel * * about 200 persons , men and women , principally strangers , from the county .-of Wexford , assembled on the farm of Patrick Murphy , of Bully lean , near Ballon , in this county , and cut down and carried away upwards often acres of oats . The crop was not uudet eeizvire , aad the object of cutting down and carrying away the com on Sunday is supposed to be for the purpose of evading a distress far rent , whioh it is said Murphy expected oa the following day . The Ballon police were present and identified some of the parties , bat could not interfere Murphy ' s daughter having stated that it was cut down with her fathar ' s consent . "
Murder of an Infant » y its Mother . —It appears by a report of a coroner ' s inquest iu the Cork papers , that Mary Hill , an unmarried woman , was delivered of an infant last week , and that she threw it immediately after it was born into a deep well at the rero of the premises of the house in which she was at service . This inhuman parens confessed that the child was born alive , and that she threw it into the well to prevent exposure and detection . The coroner ' s jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder . Two Men Suffocated . —Oa Thursday week , as two men , of the names of John Dawson , of Hampstnwaito , plumber , &c , and Wai . Habishaw ,
mechanic , were employed by J . Greenwood , Esq ., of Wreaks , near Ripley , Yorkshire , in descending a well for the purpose of putting down a pump , they incautiously descended without adopting the usual method of testing the purity of the air , and coesequently both fe'l victims to their imprudence . Uawsou first commenced the descent , and was noon followed by Habishaw , and they had not gone more than five or six yards before they were unable to return , by inhaling the carbonic acid gas , when they both fell suddenly to the bottom , a distance of fourteen or fifteen yards , and were taken out quite dead .
Important Discovery . —Imperishable Bread . — Wednesday we were present in the Mayor ' s private room , at the Town Hall , Liverpool , during the opening of a box of bread which was packed at Rio de Janeiro , nearly two years ago , and which proved as sound , sweet , and in all respects as good as on tha day when it was enclosed . It appears that , as regards the staff of life , at least that sort thereof required for ship or o ' . her stores which it is desirable to keep a long time , we shall have no reason iu future to speak of " the bread that perishetb , " seeing that Mr . Gilbert Claude Alaard , a Frenchman , has discovered a mode of making biscuits , on which time
effects no deterioration .. This bread is manufactured of a mixture , in certain proportions , of rice , meal , and wheat flour , and it has other important advantages iu addition to that very material one already named . For instance , the coarsest quality of flour may be uaed , and will produse bread not inferior to that made of tbe finest description of Hour by the ordinary method . It ia also , we are informed , extremely nutritious , very beneficial to the system , and a certain aaiiscorbutic . It is asserted by M . Alzard , that the bread would keep two centuries without the slightest alteration . The discoverer of the process has secured the right to manufacture it in this country by patent . —Gore ' s Advertiser .

No arrivals from tbe United States . The incoming packet of tbe 19 th is anxiously looked for , though uotbin ? has transpired respecting her whereabouts . The winds have been favourable for her of late , but light , and , aa she has naw been ont upwards of seventeen days , she may be looked for daily . The present state of the cotton market , which is still very firm though the sales have only reached 6 000 bales to-day ! w one of the primary causes why intelligence horn the other side of tne Atlantic excitea , at the present moment , so much interest .
The Queen ' s Visit to France —Among the numberleaa questions to which her Majesty ' s visit to the Cimtineut has given rise , not a f » w have been mooted respecting the supposed incapacity of the Qa * en to leave her Beitish dominions without the sanction of an express act of Parliament . Some persons ( upon what grounds it ia difficult to conjecture ) have maintained that the Prince of Wales , and not her Majesty , is the person affected by this restriction . la order , therefore , to remove all doubt upon the subject , it is right to mention that the third clause in the Act » f Settlement , which enacted " that no person who shall hereafter coma to the possession of this Crown shall go oufc of tbe dominions of England , Scotland , oc Inland , without consent of Parliament , " was repealea very soon afterwards , in the first year of George I . ( 1 st Georgel . c . 31 ) , " whoae frequent journeys to Hanover , " says Mr . Hallam , were an abuse of the graciousneas with which the Parliament consented to annul the
restriction . " .
