THE ADDRESS OF THE FEMALE CHARTISTS OF MANCHESTER TO THEIR SISTERS OF ENGLAND , IBELAIfD , SCOTLAND , AND WALKS ; Passed ai a Public Meeting of their Sex , hoide n i n the Chartist Room , T % b-street , on Wednesday , July 21 st , 1841 . Sisters in Bondage , —We , the females of Manchester , feel it our duty , at this important crisis , thus to address you , from a conviction that onr principles and motives need only to be known to gain your assistance , appreciation , and co-operation , in gaining our object . Our principles are justice to all , and injustice to
none ; a right to subsistence in the land of our birth . It may be asked by those who wish for things to remain as they are—by those who are not actuated by adesbe to safe their country from impending ruin , why we engage in and concern ourselves about politics ? In reply to which we say we have an interest in the prosperity of the country . We all spring from one common parent—are the children of one all-wise Creator , who has provided for all ; therefore we have the Bame right to subsistence , though dwelling in a cot , cellar , or garret , where forced by circumstances over which we havs had no controul , as the lady in the drawing-room , or the ballrojm , or the Queen upon the throne .
A love for ourselves , our husbands , our children , our country , and everything valuable in existence , stimulates us to take a part in a struggle which we conceive calculated to end in success , and thus avert the awful calamity that has been for some time , and is now pending over ns ; and which will certainly overtake us if not thus averted . We take our stand , also , as a matter of right ; ae fully and fairly illustrated by circumstances before our eyes . Surely , if by our labour we are compelled to maintain two Queens at the expence of £ 570 , 0 * 0 a year ; and if a female is allowed to take the highest seat in the state , and give directions for the government of the conntry , we have a right to struggle to gain for ourselves , our husbands , brothers , and children , suitable houses , proper clothing , and good food . Then , Sisters , we call upon you in behalf of upwards of four hundred females , who had their husbands torn from them at
the instigation of class-made law in 1839 , and placed in dungeons for merely \ mhitiE to redress the griev ances which press upon both you and us ;—left without their guardians and protectors at the mercy of the public , with a forlorn , sorrowful , and agitated mind by day . weeping and mourning and sighing over their husbands' sufferings ; and dreary , restless , and sleepless hours by night , their children bereft of kind and affectionate fathers , and the long affection and concord which existed betwixt them cot asunder by the tyrants . We call upon you on behalf of the wives of those unfortunate men , Frost , Williams , and Jones , who are left disconsolate , heart-broken , and in a state of aDX ety for their husbands , who are sent across the seas ; subject to insult , torture , and slavery ; on behalf of the widow , Mrs . Clayton , whose husband died in Northallerton prison ; and on behalf of the good , true , and virtuous men who have suffered , and are now suffering
imprisonment . Sisters , if ever there was a time when it was our duty to shake off our lethargy , and engage in a grand struggle for liberty , surely it is now . Does not the sword of persecution draw nearer and nearer every day , tyrannising over us in various waya ! Thousands of both males and females are walking the streets for the want of employment , compelled to pledge and sell their clothes and furnitur * to purchase food to supply their physical wants , until their houses and clothes boxes are nearly empty , while the pawn-brokers and furniturebrokers' shops are wedged and crammed with the furniture and clothes of the industrious poor . Out
granaries are full of the food which providence has sent , and the warehouses are full of clothing , while thousands are starving . How grievous must it be to see our husbands wandering the streets , willing to work but unable to procure it , thrown out in consequence of the improvements which have been made in machinery ! What can be more piercing and heartrending to a woman than to hear her offspring crying for food to satisfy the cravings of hunger , and she none to give to them ! And after pledging and selling all they have , driven to begging from their neighbours , who are in the same condition as themselves , or nearly bo !
What prospect is there for ns , when our husbands are suppianted by nachinery , except to emigrate to a foreign land , or be inmates of a Poor Law bastil « , which will be inevitably the lot of a large number of onr fellow creatures without a speedy change t Sisters , suffering humanity ories for your assistance at this most important crisis , to endeavour to alleviats the miseries which every where abound amongst the industrious , yet starving millions . We ask for nothing but what is consistent with the laws which God has laid down in the unerring standard of divine truth—the Scriptures , aHd exemplified in the laws of nature .
The fowls of the air , the fishes of the sea , the beasts of die field , and e ^ ery other living agent , have enough , without either toiling or spinning , while we can scarcely get sufficient to keep body and soul together , for working twelve or thirteen hours per day . Should such & state of things exist , when there is sufficient for every man , w oman , and child in existence Justice and common sense say no ! Then why is it that , in the midst of plenty , we are in such a condition ? Why is it that those who are willing to work , that those who have produced everything
valuable in society , without whom the factories ¦ would not have been built , the machinery made , the railroads constructed , the canals cut , who build and man the ships , who fight the battles , make their hats , sboe 3 , and coats , and till the land—cannot get enough to quell the ravings of hunger 1 Why , because they have no power to make laws that influence the distribution of such wealth . It rests with the industrious people whether they will any longer submit to a system so wicked , fraught with injustice and misrule .
; Up , then , brave women of England , Ireland , : Scotland , and Wales , and join us in the cry for the Charter , which will protect labour , and secure : plenty , comfort , and happiness to all ! Give us your support in paying due respect to our ehaa-, pions wno are about to be released from their dungeons , and lead us on to victory , namely , O'Connor , O'Brien , and Benbow . ; Sisters , in the cause of democracy , we remain , ! Yours , in the bonds of affection , The Female Chartists of Makchester . I Hannah Leggeth , Treasurer . : Sarah Cowlk , Secretary .

! FBOK OVR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . ! Thursday Evening , July 22 . , We in London are beginning to have a little ; life ; the agitation in favour of the Charter is being i earned on throughout the various localities of this Metropolis ; scarce any district but has now its As' sociation . Messrs . Watkins , Fuasell , and others : have entered the arena as lecturers , and by their i visiting the localities , a fresh stimulus has been ; given to the members ; whilst the stone i masons are doing all they can to cause the trades to take up the question . The members 1 residing in London and its environs have this week ( hoiden their usual weekly meetings , but nothing of I any particular consequence has transpired ; the ' . principal topic being the best means to be adopted for receiving Feargus O'Connor and Bronterre O'Brien on their release . There is a strong proba-; bility of another district meeting being opened in i Greenwich within a short time . 1 Lecture . —Mr . Tussill delivered a most excellent lecture on Sunday evening last at Deptford .

MANCHESTER . —Whu Next ! I Another Humbug—Another Clap Trap !!—It is stated , and upon the best authority , that tne anti-Corn Law League , and the anti-Corn Law Operative Association , are shortly coming out with a reading and writing qualification for the Suffrage , to which they intend to invite the co-operation of the middle and workiDg classes . If they uo , the Chartists will expose that as they have all other half and half measures . Why not come out for the Charter at once , which will do justice , and prove a stimulus to education ? On Tuesday Evening , Mr . Donovan , a thorough Irish Chartist , delivered a lecture in Tib-street , on the relative merits of the Tory , the Whig , and the Chartist . The speaker was rather humourous and satiricjJ , and elicited the laughter and plaudits of the meeting . Mr . Campbell also delivered a lecture to the Chartists of Sadler Street .
Eccles . —The Chartists of this village have taken a room and have written for a lecturer to visit them . It is expected that many will join the Association . The Demonstration . —Th « Chartists of Salford have determined not to be behind their Manchester friends in honouring the patriots at their release . As the Manchester men and women had got paintings of O'Connor and O'Brien , they resolved to have one of Mr . Wm . Benbow . Canvass was purchased the same size—eight feet by seven—and the painter engaged , who agreed to paint it for nothing , so that the demonstration will be graced with three large splendid and beautiful paintings , representing the three great champions of the people .
TOWER HAMXJ 3 TS . —At the mteeting on Sunday evening , at the Association Room , thaJEollowing resolution was carried unanimously : —Moved by Mr . James Slater , and seconded by Mr .

Binns ; and this meeting pledges itself to the utmost endeavours in raising Eubscriptions for the objects it lias in view . "

LEEDS . —On Monday last , four young men , Charles Brewer , Patrick Kerahaw , Wm . Jennings , and Hiram Yewdall , were committed to Wakefield House of Correction for trial , on a charge of having robbad Joseph Hollingworth , a waiter at the White Horse Inn . It appears that on the Thursday night previous , the prosecutor was passing along Yorkstreet , when he saw four men standing together , one of whom accosted him by name , when , thinking he knew them , he stood and spoke to them . They asked him to pay for some ale , and for this purpose , ne went with them towards
Accommodation Road , under pretence of going to a beer-nonce , and when in a lonely part of the road , he was knocked down , and robbed of 2 s . 6 * d . in silver , and 3 d . in copper , a knife , and some other trifling articles . He distinctly swore to Brewer and Kersbaw ; the evidence against the others rested on the testimony of a watchman , who said he had seen the four together near the place where the robbery was committed , about the time it was alleged to have taken place , and from the fact of a knife ( sworn to by the prosecutor ) found on the person of a girl with whom they were found in bed on Priday morning . Mr . Naylor appeared for Yewdall , who is of respectable connections at Bradford .
Leeds Northebn Typographical Uniow . —On Saturday last , the members of the Leeds Branch oi the Northern Typographical Union celebrated theii fourth anniversary at the house of Mr . Wright , the Green Man Inn , DewBbury Road , when a large party sat down to a very plentiful , substantial , and excellent dinner , nnder the presidency of Mr . Thos . Floyd , the secretary of the society . After ample justice had been done to the good things , and the cloth had been drawn , a number of loyal , patriotic , and professional toasts were given by the Chairman and other members ; some good songs were sang ; and the evening was spent in a spirit of the kindest unity and good feeling . The entertainment was such as to reflect great credit on the worthy host and hostess .
The Chabtkt or Leeds , being determined to manifest their gratitude and esteem for that noble champion of liberty , Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., have formed a Demonstration Committee , with power to add to their number , and for the purpose of more effectually carrying out their laudable intentions , they are anxiously desirous that the most decided union and good fellowship should characterise all their proceedings , and that for once and for ever a concentration of effort should be made . To this end our friends in the neighbouring villages are respectfully solicited to allow themselves to be placed upon the Committee , and give their best aid in demonstrating to the enslaved votaries of indolence and wealth , u What workmen can do when their hearts are on fire , For the hero they love and the chief they admire . "
Several members have already taken the liberty of proposing some of our excellent friends at Hunslet , Upper Wertley , Holbeck , Woodbouse , and elsewhere , to serve on the committee , and we trust that many more of the " good men and true" of those places , Chapeltown , Bramley , Armley , Kirkstall , Halton , and the rest , will immediately favour us with their assistance in ringing the death knell of faction by contributing their advice on this occasion . The next committee meeting will be held in the Association Room , Shambles , to commence precisely at eight o ' clock , on Wednesday , the 28 th , in the eveniDg , when the mode of raising the necessary sapplies , and other important matters relative to future arrangements , will be determined upon .
Duffy , the liberated Chartist . —Poor Duffy , who was committed for three years to that hell of hells , Nortballerton Gaol , was liberated some two month ago , for fear he should die in gaol . On account of hiB ruined circumstances , and despite of his emaciated condition , he has been compelled to visit the Chartists of different towns and give lectures for the purpose of obtaining a supply of the necessaries of life . As might have been expected , the exertion of speaking , and walking on foot from town to town , has brought a relapse of his worst gaol attacks upon himand he now lies in a dying
, state in Leeds . The friends here havo visited him and done what they could to supply his present wants ; they , however , are poor , and cannot do much . A £ ood doctor is necessary , and many other comforts , to save the poor fellow ' s life , and should aiiy Chartist friend in any part of the Queendom have it in his power to subscribe his mite in aid of our distressed brother , such subscription wi ll be thankfully received , and immediately applied to that purpose by Mr . Wm . Hick , at the office of the Northern Star .
Stealing Beasts . —On Wednesday last , William Haste and George Haste , father and son , of" Hunslet Hall , " near Leeds , were committed for trial at the next Spring Assizes , by the West Riding magistrates , at Leeds , on a charge of having , on Monday night last , stolen two bea-its , the property of Mr . George Spink , farmer , of Purston Jagling , ntur Pontefract . The prisoners were apprehended in Vicar's Croft , on Tuesday morning , while offering the beasts for Bale . The Forgery Case . —Last week we gave the particulars of the examination of Bell and Brown before the Magistrates here on a charge of forgery . They were remanded to Manchester , at which place they were brought up on Wednesday last before D . Maude , Esq . and Sir Thos . Potter , at the Borough Court , by whom , after hearing evidence against them , they were fully committed for trial at the Liverpool Assizes , which commence on the 14 th of Augu .-t .
KEIGHLEV . —On Sunday last , the Rev . W . V . Jackson , of Manchester , preached two sermons in the Working Man ' s Hall , in behalf of the Sunday school held there .

CROWN COURT .-Thursday , July 22 . { Before Mr . Justice Wightman . ) SENTENCES . Wilfra Holdridge , who had been convicted of robbing his master at North Newbald , was sentenced to be transported for life . Joseph Sharp and John Sharp , who had been convicted of a highway robbery at Southowram , and stealing money from John Pearson , were sentenced to be transported for fifteen years . James Haigh , who had been convicted of highway robbery , was also sentenced to b « transported for fifteen years . Joseph Turnrr and William Houseley , who had been convicted of a burglary in the house of Wm . Dyson , at Ecclesfield , were then sentenced . —The Learned Judge observed that this burglary had been committed under circumstances of particular
aggravation ; they had attacked the house of two old persons who were grievously and most fearfully alarmed at their conduct . He ( the Judge ) OOnclllded by observing that it was necessary that a Severe sentence should be passed , forth © purpose , if possible , to repress such crimes , and the sentence therefore was that they be transported fourteen years . Joseph Pilling , who had been convicted of a burglary in the dwelling-bouse of George Carver , the toll collector , at Shelf , was then sentenced . The Judge said the circumstances in this case were also of particular aggravation ; a more violent attack was scarcely ever proved in a court of justice and it was with great difiiculty that he could escape with his life iiom the violence that was nsed . To be transported for fourteen years .
William Smith and James Bailey , who had been convicted of a burglary in the house of William Wilson Tingle , at Low Ash , were severally sentenced to be transported for ten years . James Shute , who had been convicted of stabbing John Brocreles , at Gargrare , was sentenced to bo imprisoned two years to hard labour .

James Parker and James Wheldon , who bad been convicted of forgery , were next placed at the bar . In the caee of the former , The Learned Judgk said it was of the very first importance to repress euch offences , and it would be contrary to the interests of justice and of the state that such a crime as this should be lightly parsed over . The sentence of the Court therefore , was , that he should be transported for ceven years . Wheldon , who had be ; n convicted on two indictment' } , w » 3 sentenced to be transported for seven years on each of them . The prisoners on leaving the bar said " thank you , Sir . " Thomas Stone , Samuel Gelder , andSamuel Martin , were next ( sentenced .
His Lordship remarked that each of them had been convicted of aggravated assaults , in the course of which they had also been guilty of the offence of wounding the parties . It was very fortunate for them that the Juries , before whom they were tried , had acquitted them of the heavy part of the offence . He observed that it was an un-English and unmanly act to use such weapons as they had done . He sentenced them to be imprisoned for one year each to hard labour . John Hanson , who had been convicted of having counterfeit coin in his possession at Bradford , was sentenced to be imprisoned six calendar months .
William Haggas , who had been convicted of bigamy at Leeds , was placed at the bar . The Judge said he had been convicted of the crime of bigamy , by-which he had inflicted" a serious and irreparable injury upon & woman who seemed to have reposed her confidence in him . It might possibly happen that he was labouring under the impression that his first wife was not alive ; but whether that was so or not , he could not but see that he ought to have made further inquiries , and to have ascertained more particularly the fact before he had entered into so serious a contract . It was necessary that he should pass such a sentence as would act as a warning to others . —To be imprisoned one year to hard labour .
James Dealtry Steele , who had been found guilty of a conspiracy , with intent to defraud , was next placed at the bar , and on his being asked if he had anything to say why judgment should not be pronoum-ed against him , Mr . Bliss , his counsel , rose and urged set eral objections to the indictment , the result of which was that the prisoner was ordered to stand down .
THE ALLEGED MUttDER AT MIRFIELD . Sarah Goldthorpe , who was charged with the murder of her illegitimate child , at Mirfield , and who was found guilty of concealing the birth , was not sentenced , and we understand that she will be kept in custody till the next Assizes , an objection having been taken to the pronouncing of judgment against her for the offence in question . John Fothergill , who had pleaded Guilty to assaulting Mr . Child , of Leeds , was sentenced . His Lordship said that he ( the prisoner ) was in company with other persons who had been guilty of a very aggravated assault in wounding and cruelly beating the officers of the peace . He , however , did not appear to have done more than encouraged the ether parties , nor did there appear any premeditation on his part , or that he had entered into any common design with them . The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned for three months to hard labour .

The claim of the plaintiffs was for two sums , one for £ 289 , and the other £ 62 , of which £ 110 had been pad . ) into Court . The plaintiffs were tenants of T . ThorDhill , Esq ., of Fixby Hall , near Huddersfield . Tne father of tho plaintiffs , some sixteen years ago , became tenant of two farms under Mr-Thornhill . one called Wadland Hills , and the other
Woodland Hiils , which he occupied till his death . When he entered on the farms , he paid a certain valuation . Mr . Craven died in March , 1839 , and his three sons ( the plaintiffs ) succeeded as tenants to rhe farms , which they occupied till the autumn of 1839 , when a notice to quit was served upon them by Mr . Thornhill ' s agent , Mr . Ramsbottom . Before the period arrived when they were to quit , an intimation was given b y Mr . Ramsbottom , that he had appointed a Mr . Litter to value the out-going crops oa the farms ; the Cravens appointed a Mr . Butler to value on their side . After tjome delay , caused by Mr . Ramsbottom intimating to Lister that he had better defer his valuation , as he suspected that the Cravens had not truly stated the terms upon which their father had entered on the farm , the valuation was gone into . The valuers had completed their
valuation on the 20 th of February , but in consequence of this intimation , Mr . Lister did not decide the valuation till after May . When he did make his valuation , the defendant said the Cravens had obtained it by fraud , Mr . Butler ' s valuation came to three hundred and ten pounds for Wadland Hills . Mr . Lister ' s valuation amounted to the sum of £ 289 . As the two valuers could not agree upon the amount , it was determined that the matter should be referred to a Mr . Smith , as umpire , whose award was to be abided by . The before-named intimation of Mr . Ramsbouom's , that there was a special agreement , prevented an appointed meeting for the umpire to decide this matter ; and as Mr . Thornhill ' e agent refused to pay more than £ 110 , the present action wasbroughttorecover theamountof the valuation as made by Mr . Thornhill's own valuer , Mr . Listtr .
Mr . Kxowles , for the defence , said , that Mr . Thornhill had paid £ 110 into Court , which he contended was sufficient , and more than sufficient to pay all that the plaintiffs were legally entitled te . Mr . Craven held under a special agreement , and bad no right to claim under the custom of the country . He accused the Cravens of obtaining the valuation by direct falsehood and fraud , in stating that they entered to tho farms without any special agreement , when the faot was , that they held under
the terms of a lease which had formerly been granted to a tenant of the very farm in question ; which lease required that a certain proportion of the land only should be ploughed , one-third ; and the Jury would at once inter that the remaining portion , two-thirds , should be left in grass . He should also prove that so far from James Craven , the father of the plaintiffs , having paid any valuation when he entered upon the farms as was alleged , he had not paid one single shilling . These facts he should prove by the mouth of competent witnesses .
Witnesses were then examined for the defence , by whom it was attempted to be shown that when the farms were taken the conditions of a lease that had formerly existed were named as the conditions by which the tenant would have to abid * ; and that , under those conditions , the sum of £ ) lu , paid into Court by the defendant , was amply sufficient for the valuation . The difference arose from there being more than one third of the land under the plough at the time the tenant left . One of the witnesses , a
Mr . Lee , the former tenant of the farm , was called to prove that " ' old Craven" had paid him nothing , as out-going tenant , for tenant-right , or valuation ; and this he swore to most lustily : on cross-examination , however , he let out the ugly fact that he had claimed a valuation as out-going tenant ; that it had been allowed himtotheextent ( . heonly occupied one of the farms ) of more than £ 135 ; that he owed more than £ 100 rent ; and that Craven had paid Mr . Thornhill the amount of tho valuation , which had been set-off against his ( Lee ' s ) arrears of rent .
The lease , under whose provisions it was sought to bring the Cravens , was also putinandread . It turned out to have been granted in the year 1792 , to the then tenant , and waa for a period of fifteen years . The provision which was sought to be established againBt the plaintiff * was , that during the last two years of tlie tenure , the holder should not plough more than one-third of the land . Mr . Cbesswell , in his reply , animadverted in severe terms on the conduct of Mr . Ramsbottom , in bringing charges of fraud against the Cravens , which the evidence he had offered was incapable of supporting He observed that such men as Mr . Thornhill were completely in the hands of his agents ; and that he was not to blame for the pitiful and humiliating
exhibition which had been made in that Court : but agents were bound , in justice to those whose characters were at stake , to weigh well what they were about ; to be eure that they had a good case before they dragged their principals into a Court Of Justice to prefer charges of fraud and falsehood against honest men , for which charges they had not a uttle of evidence to adduce . With respect to the monstrous attempt that had been made , to bring the Cravens , who were merely tenants from-y ear-to-year , liable to be quitted ( as they had been quitted ) by six month ' s notice ; with regard to the attempt to bring men so situate under the provisions of a lease granted for a certain term of years , he must characterise it as the most impudent and unjust thing that he had ever known . The
provisions of the lease where wholly inapplicable to a yearly tenant . For instance ; the very provision that so much stress had . been laid upon , provided that during the l ast two years of the tenure only one third of the land should be ploughed , —( it did not require that the remainder should be in grass;—it it merely required that not more than a certain proportion sh « uld be ploughed)—bat how could this apply to a tenancy from year to year ! How could the tenant know which were the '' two last years of his tenure ? " when six months' notice could quit him » The attempt was monstrously absurd—and as unjust as it was monstrous . He again characterised the whole defence as miserable and shameful—reflecting disgrace upon thoBe agents of Mr . Thornhill who bad made him appeaas a man wanting to defraud his tenantry of theijuit rights . He was satisfied the attempt woul d

fail . The Jury would stand between bis clients and the attempted injustice . He confidently relied on their givin « a verdict for the plaintiffs . Lord Denman then summed up . He observed that this was an important case—a very important one . It involved many and high considerations ; and in order that they might have the case folly before them , he would read over to them the whole of the evidence taken on both sides , commenting on such portions as he might deem it necessary to give his opinion upon . He claimed their best attention while he did so . His Lordship then read over the evidence , interspersing the several portions of it with observations to the effect , that if the jury were satisfied that the holding
in this case was under written agreement , that is to say , under the provisions of the old lease produced , they would find a verdict for the defendant' ; for it would be thea apparent that the valuation which had been procured was procured by false pretences : on the contrary , if they were satisfied that the provisions of that lease were , as had been ably contended , wholly inapplicable to a tenancy from year-to-year , and that the valuation which had been made , was made in accordance with the custom of the country , ( and of all these things they most judge from the evidence adduced by both parties ) : if they were of opinion that these things
were so , they would find a verdict for the plaintiffs . The Jury retired far a short time , and then returned with a verdict for the plaintiffis—Damages to the amount sought : thus , in the most marked manner setting their face against the attempt , which had been made to secure to Mr . Thornhill , as landlord , all the advantages of a lease , while the tenantry were left without any of the advantages ariuing from leases ,- —amongst which certainty of tenure for the period embraced in the lease is not the least important . The result is of the highest moment to tenants similarly situated to the tenantry of Mr . Thornhill .

State of Trade . —The failure of the eminent banking house of Geymuller and Co ., of Viem * intelligence of which reached this town bj & * Hamburgh mail on Monday evening , produced * decidedly unfavourable effect upon our J »*» market yesterday ; the German buyers generiu * suspending their operations until the effect of this unexpected and extensive failure is better ascer tained . The amount of business done was consequently very small ; and rather lower prices were , in many instances , submitted to . The demand iff manufactured goods was also extremely limited , ana the business done in printing cloth was generally at
rather lower rates . We think it right to state , in reference to the engagements of the banking hoo « of Daintry , Ryle , and Co ., which appeared in tm Guardian of Wednesday last , that there was an inaccuracy of expression which was calculated to mislead the reader . The liabilities of the Manchester firm are upwards of half a million ( in fact , aboul ^ 609 , 000 ) , but a large portion of these is owing to the London bankers ; and the amount which will eventually fall upon Manchester and its neig hbourhood is comparatively small . —Manchester CfuarJis * of Wednesday .

Miracolops Escape . —On Thursday night , about seven o'clock , two children were observed playing in one of the recesses on London-bridge , when the eldest boy , about six years old , climbed on the
parapet , and leaning forward to see a steamer that was passing under , the little fellow lost his balance and fell oyer . The greatest consternation prevailed amongst the persons who witnessed the accident , when , upon going to the spot , it was discovered that the boy was lying on the top of the cornice , which fortunately is very wide . The anxiety that prevailed was speedily relieved by a working man , named Green , residing in the New Kent-road , who instantly got over the parapet and rescued the child from his perilous situation . The boy , upon being put upon his feet , began to cry lustily , and ran off towards the Borough . A . person who came up at the time stated he had told the children to get down some time before .

Cresswell , ilr . Ellis , Mr . Maetis , and Mr . Robixso . v conducted the plaintiff's case . Mr . Wortlst , Mr . Watson , and Mr . Hardt appeared for tne defendant . * The plaintiff is the Coroner of the Honor of Pontefract , belonging to the Duchy of Lancaster , and ' the defendant is one of the Coroners of the Couiity of York . The question raised was whether the defendant was entitled to hold inquests within the Honor of Pontefract . '
A great deal of documentary evidence was ad-, duced , by which it appeared that a large portion of , the West Riding of York is contained within the . Honor of Pontefraet , which was created in-the reign 6 f Edward 11 L In tha 16 ih year of that reign , Henry first Date of Lancaster had a grant of the : Duchy of Lancaster , by which the Jura Regalia , " and the power of appointing all necessary officers , were conveyed to him . On the part of the plaintiff , it was contended that the grantee , by the term of : the charter , had a right to appoint a coroner , and I that he and his successors had , in various parts of England attached to the dnchy , exercised that right . The erant was confirme d by Act of Parliament inihe (
35-Ji and 38 th year of the Bame reign , me aucny descended to Blaaebe , the daughter of the first ; JJuke of Lancaster , who married John o Gaunt , at whose death Richard II . then took possession of it , and subsequently granted the Honor of Pontefract to j theDakeof Albemarle . The plaintiff ' s claim wwj foand « d on the title of the Duke of Albemarle . For the defendant a great mass of evidence was ; brought forward to show that so far back as the ; reagt . of Henry II ., up to the present time , the : coroners of the connty of York had always ex- ; ercised jurisdiction in the Honor of Pontefract . j Mr . Creesweix having replied , Lord Dsyju . * summed up ; and the Jnry , after a short consnlutaoa , found a Terdict for the , plaintiff .

On « thing connected with this trial muBt not be lost sight of : it was the means of bringing the " good Old King , " Mr . Oastleb , once more into Yorkshire . The plaintiff ' s attorney applied to Mr . Richard Oastler , as is usual when it is imagined that evidence can be obtained , for information connected with the subject in dispute , with a view to subpoena him as a witness . Mr . Oastler , however , as was learned from Mr . Creaswell ' s opening speech , refused to give any
information that way at all ; pointing to nis peculiar situation with regard to Mr . Thornhill as bis excuse . The plaintiffs had him removed from the Fleet Prison upon a Writ of Habeas Corpus , for the purpose of giving evidence if it was needed . Mr . Cresswell , however , did not call him into the box , as his case was fully established by the two witnesses he did call ; but he offered to place him in the box , if the other side wished it . This , Mr . Ramsbottom did not desire—so Mr . Oastler was not examined .
The ' * good Old King" looked much better than could be expected , considering that he has lately been suffering from an intermittentfever , brought on by excessive fatigue . He is recovering rapidly from its effects ; and we sincerely hope that the jaunt he has just had into his beloved Yorkshire , at Mr . Thorkhill ' s expence , —( the verdict carries costs 1 ! ! j—will completely restore him to health . It was pleasing to see the manner in which all parties , Whig and Tory , paid their respect to honoub and integrity in the person of the respected OaKM-eb . The cordial greetings and hearty shakings of Jiands between him and barristers , and gentlemenluitors , defendants , jurymen , and witnesses , and attorneys , and coroners , and farmers , and labourers , Were truly
delightful to witness ! One scene was peculiarly affecting . Mr . Oastler met an " old and faithful ( fellow ) servant" —one who has been discarded like himself—( Ramsbottom and Redhead know why in both cases 1)—and whom he had not seen before for several years . There they stood together !—the "Old King , " and the older man—the ... " faithful steward , " Oastles , and the no-less faithful James Thompson . The meeting was so cordial , so affectionate , that many an eye was moistened amongst the lookers on . Mr . Oastler had the pleasure of seeing Mr . O'Connor in his cell twica : during the day he was at York . He was evidently highly gratified At being favoured with the opportunity the trial
afforded him of meeting Mr . 0 Connor so much pooner than he expected . We heard Mr . Oastler declare , after he had left Mr . O'Connor , that the room in which he is confined is much worse than the strong room where the refractory prisoners are confined in the Fleet ; and in this opinion Mr . Oastler was fully borne out by the officers who had him in charge . Mr . Oastler ( with his two attendants ) arrived in York on Wednesday evening ; he departed back to his prison by the quarter to nine o ' clock train on Friday morning ; and would sleep in the Fleet that night . He was evidently much gratified with this Visit to Yorkshire ; it fully proved to him that he holds the increased esteem and good-will of all who know him .
