      meniiiirequesttd him to carry on the paper for his , gr ? O'Brien ' s , benefit—that Mr . Smith acceded t-o j ^ ieqnest , and even while the paper was a losing pgocern , he generously offered a permanent asaistgpee to Mrs . O'Brien—thuB endeavouring to support » j » aily in want , and to save a meritorious and ggifol paper from extinction . This is his reward , jjd the reward of those who have been co-operating , fith him—the publication of these base and ungrategjl calumnies in the Northern Star , and other publeauons . g ^^ v re quested to carry-onihe paper for Ms , S .

      _ Oar readers will wonder what could have been tte jnotrre and object of Mtb , O * Brien , whom we jjHeTe to have been sordidly misguided by another « jrty , io thas publicly disowning toe Southern Star . 5 nr decided opinion is , that she found that paper to interfere with the more lucrative resources or the wirite begging system ; and that &he was induced mblicly to denounce and stigmatize thi 3 paper , at £ e mercenary snggesskm . aC another and an inter ested individual . Resftf this asshemight have got th e objectionable announcement removed , by a single mnnate application . This announcement would not

      \ i . i % been continued in a single paper after her expressed wish to the contrary . It was commenced at § ie wish , and would have been discontinued at the , rish , of the parties concernftd . If the accusations brought by Mrs , O'Brien ininsi the Southern Star had been susceptible of proof , the characters of the proprietor and editors of the Southern Star most have been branded with indelible infamy . HaTins , however , completely refuted them , we leave our readers 10 judge of that condemnation which is justly due 10 thoEe who make saeh accusations .

      As far as angry Wuster may serve for argument , oar ° friend" of the Southern Star argues to admiration ! We cas , however , as well afford to forgive his petulance , as to laugh at the malice by which it is accompanied . "We do beih , most

      be&rtfly . Our readers all know that at the commencement rf the Southern Star Mr . U'Brien had an interest in its property , and a share in its management , they know that we sounded the note of preparation for its appearance more than once or twice . They _ kaow that when it did appear , we introduced it ^ r - ' their notice with a cordial and friendly welcome ; and they know ( not from us , but from the letters of OTJbje * . which we published for ihe purpose of pushing the paper into notice ) that , had not the proprietor of this paper voluntarily stepped forward

      and given his bond to the Commissioners of Sumps ind Taxes , the Southern Star could never have come jot at alL Yet the Editor of the Southern Star has jhe unblushing hardihood to say that his paper has lot been once quoted , nor ezen referred to , during Ss career , by the Northern Star . '" And this , too , ia the teeth , not merely of all this , but of the curious bet that the objurgation of which this foolish lie is partjbasbeen drawn on us by a letterof Mrs . O'Beiex , complaining of a statement taken from the Southern Star , and announcing the alleged object of its publication .

      He has the ridiculous inconsistency to charge xs with " aiming to extinguish the Southern Star , " \ and of * thrusting a dagger into its heart , " when he knows that the Southern Star exists , and always has existed , " during its career , " only I by and through us , and that if Mr . O'Co * - i soa were to withdraw his bond to-morrow , iti must die the next day ! ; He has the good grace to charge Mr . Feabsus ; - { yCorsoB , who is ihe only prop of his totter- \ B | edifice—at a time , too , when he knows that : gentleman to be unable to reply to , or indeed to see kii base calumny—with having sordidly misguided i

      Jlra . O'Bbebs ; and with laving gotten her to unite tote letters , « sd publicly io denounce and stigma-1 tiee Ma paper from mercenary motives ! True , he \ ku sot had the Tp * * ' » fP c to tack Mr . O'Coxxok ' s j muae to this rile *« cas * tion ; but it is clearly him [ ii wixMn he points ; becaose co one else connected ' with this paper has had tbe slightest communication I « correspondence witk Mrs . O'Brien . I f he do no t ! ae&n Mr . CCoxkob , let him tell us , like a man ' whom he does mean ; and not skulk thus behind the - ^ ash , * defeating his own object , and leaving the Bark of his malevolence untouched , because out of & # range . Bat we cry him mercy : —

      •* W « iaaj , heresfts , trace tbe man through all hu Br at , detect him in his inuring places , and oi&g him oat to tbe pabHc gue ; and he may depend upon it , ice « nU sat leave him eve * ike shape of a man . " . ' . ' . ' l Uetej « b us ! what a terrible fellow tliLs Southern Star is , when he is moved ! And sow for the offence , by which we have bees 90 unfortunate as to incur his anger . We have alwiys considered it one of the first and most

      sacred duties of an Editor Io abstain from injuring individual interests or wounding individual feelings ; except so far as may be manifestly unavoidable in the discharge of his public doty . If he shall inadveteeilj be led into tbe infliction of wrong upon miMtiMjiiij we hold hi » bound in honour , however snaSlijfifatny he may have done it , to make every sepxzatiH in bis power .

      Tin s we tan ? always done . We have never publi&ed in tins paperj neither in our own remarks , aor as news nor eren as advertisements , anything eakalated to hurt an individual , without , whenever ft wag pointed oat to us , affording every facility for contradiction or explanation . Our practical adherence to this principle has exposed us to the Btorm of Bcnrrflity and falsehood which we have just cooted .

      We saw no reason why the wife of O'Bbis * shcaid be made an exeep ; ioa to our general rule of justice . O'Bsiek was in prison and it was known that his family was , if not in want , closely verging xa . it ; : he Southern Star announced that that paper was bving carried on for the benefit of James Bkctteb&s CBbikjt and his suffering family ; we : ke&vedil » t announcement , and felt much pleasure i in giving it all the publicity we could ; but Mrs . ; O'Biiot declared it to be false and to be operating BKSt injuriousl y on her interests ; we had the

      corrobomive testimony of Mr . O'Coskob that acornoittee ol friends , whom he had got togetheriu Lonuon t » look after the interests of 0 'Brie . Vs family , had ceased their exertions , being induced by this : « MemeBt in the Southern , Star , which Mrs . CPBmzs declared to be fa . be , to think them unne-^ arr ; and , under all these circum £ ; auce > , we taoo ^ ht that the least th ing we could do was to naie innant reparation , by the insertion of Mrs . O'B&iejTs leavers of contradiction , fur any injury w aiight have done that lady , while we thought to

      ¦ ttb ner , by the insertion of the paragraph com-Pi « aed of . We fael that we did right in doing so ; Md we doubt not that all honest mea will say so . The Southern Star blames us for not writing to him to ascertain the truth of Mre .

      0 ! but the correspondence ! tho correspondence between Mr . Smith and Mrs . O'BaiBN ! M This correspondence might have all been obtained , " and then the publication of these " calamniating and libellous letters would have been unnecessary . Let us see . I t seldom happens that a bad man ' s rage does not forge somo weapon which recoils upon himself . How could we have obtained this correspondence Whence might we have got it ' . What give me u O ! but the correspondence I tho correspondence between Mr . Smith and Mr .. O'R »™ i « SS ™

      t ! The publication of Mrs , O'Brien ' s letters in the Northern Star of the 16 th of May ! On reading which , Mr . Skith sits down , on the 18 th , to write the first letter of the " correspondence " which his Editor afterwards tells ub " might have been all obtained " to prevent the cause of it . That is , it might have tuen all obtained before any of it waB ia existence , How shortsighted is the boiling rage of disappointinent !

      We are quite content to leave this vindication of our conduct to the people , whom we serve , without another word ; but we do think that the defenceless , condition of Mrs . O'BniEH , and her infant family , and the tone of this article of the Southern Star ' s , may well excuse a few remarks on what may be eaid in reference to Mrs . O'Brien ' s conduct , and io the motives which may have prompted the vaunted generosity of this new proprietor of the Southern Star .

      We know of nothing more unmanly and detestable than the spirit which would deliberately injure & woman—and a woman in distress , too ! Let the resder observ * that in Mrs . O'Beien ' s letter to Mr . Smith , she distinctly denies that she knew anything about O'Brien ' s requesting him to bring out a news paper for his benefit , antiPthe receipt of hig letter , that day ; and yet the Southern Star appeals to her " own admission , " as though she had admitted that she knew All about it before her letter of contradic- ^ . .

      tion was written . For this mean and dastardly wresting of words from their plain purport , to the injury of a defenceless woman with an infant family , we have no name that implies enough of baseness ; the people will judge of it for themselves ; as they will also of the " generosity" which insults j misfortune , and seeks to dry up its sources of relief , ! | by the infamous taunt contained in the next para- ; j graph , about u the lucrative resources of the private i | begging system . " ! The Southern Star has a " de- i j cided opinion" that she was induced publicly to ! j renounce all connection with that paper , " because J I she found it to interfere" with these " lucrative re-1

      sources . " Did it never occur to the " generous" i proprietor of the Southern Star that moral retalia- j aon is a good deal practised now-a-days ! That an I ixpression of his " decided opinion" about the mo- j tives of Mrs . O'Biuex in this business might poa- \ dhly lead to a somewhat incoarenient inquiry into i bis own . ! We don ' t much like this trade of motive j seeking ; but since the example has been so well set ! by our " generous" contemporary , there may be no harm in just stating one or two of tho suppositions which , without pretending to any "decided opinion" on the matter , we think the circumstances of the wkole case might be construed to favour

      Much credit is claimed for , and by , Mr . Smith , for tqe fact of this Southern Star ' s being kept alive , " at . the urgent request of O'Briejt , " and for his benefit . It does not appear , however , that O'Brien ' s ** urgent request" was very readily acceded to by ° his particular friend , Mr . Smith . " " HiB particular friend , Mr . Smith , " seems to have been pretty chary of his " generosity ; " and to have taken a considerable time to calculate the chances . Nor does it appear , from his own shewing , that , eren in the extremity of her distress , when sUrra-fion threatened to drive her and hers " out of the world " , did Mrs . O'Brien and her family ever receive more "benefit" from the paper than a beggarly ten shillings a-week , to pay her rent .

      Now we can see it very possible that a speculator in the trade of " generosity" might think himseli very safe in reckoning that this sacrifice of ten shillings a-week for a short period , would be soon amply recompensed by the profits of a paper published under the high . passport to general support and favour , of being " for the benefit of James Bboviekbs O ' Bries sad bir soffermg fltaniTf : •* Such an announcement , circulated not merely by itself , but by the Northern Star , and the whole Badical press , was sure io make the paper sell , » ud

      accounts at once for its " rising in public favour . " Now , if this were so , we should feel no wonder at the foaming rage of this " generous" proprietor , when his nice little project is bo marred by Mrs . O'Brien ' s obstinate refusal to give up the assistance of her private friends for his trumpet-tongued ten shillings benefit ; nor should we feel the least surprise that such a speculator , seeing his plans thus frustrated and his mask of " generosity" torn off and trampled on , retire from the field of his discomfiture , with quite as ii . a ^ race as this " geucrous ' Mr . Smith .

      We don ' t profesi to have any very " decided opinion" about the matter ; but we ask our readers to look at these possibilities , in connection with our conduct in this business , bo Btrongly reprehended by the Southern Star , and then say to whom they think " the veil or coat ef as clumsy and transparent an hypocrisy as erer encumbered and disgraced & public -writer" may be with most propriety adjudged .

      Since writing the above , we have received from Mrs . O'Briex other and more striking evidence of the " generosity" of this Mr . Smith . Soe sends ub the " correspondence" between herself and this " generous" gentleman ; but she sends a little more of it than Mr . Smith found i ; convenient to give . Here is Sirs . O'Brien ' s version of this " corresj > ondeuce ; '' to which we request tbe attention of our readers . We are sorry to occupy so much space with thismatkr ; but we thiuk O'Briek has at least a right to demand from the people a p-tient hearing oi the wrongs sustained by his wife , at a time when his devotion to them and their cause has prevented him frt . m beiui ; able to protect her . Mrs . O'Bkie . x writes ua thu « : —

( Mrs . O'B * iK 3 , in her list of correspondence , makeB this letter No . 1 . ) And then comes the following letter from her in answer to Mr . Smith ( marked No . 2 ) : —

      •• DEAR Sib ., —You cannot for one moment suppose I intended to send what is perfocUy true to be inserted in a newspaper , and ontradict it the next week . I etvll say Mr . O'Brien baa had nothiDg to do with the Sniher » Skir since Mr . O'Briek placed the notice in the Northern Si * r of some weeks back to tbe sam « effect as mine . You are but too well a * are there has not been the slightest communication with Mr O'BJUEK . Hia name has beea withdrawn from the paper , ontil tht last few weeks , when it has appeared in tbe heading of that paper . Yon can , of course , use yonr own judgment hi still supporting the paper . If jon recollect I told yo * it wa « a phy w throw away *• much money on m losing concern . Yoor answer was YOU "WOULD COXI 1 BUK IT AT MIL * I 6 Ki , WH 8 THK 11

      Mr . O'Briek hah ant cohsbctiok -witu it or * ot . I also distinctly told you Mr .

Tiiese things , asamatt « rof ourae , ihould be all made in writing ; that has not been doae , i belieye yon baxe most friendly feelings towards Mr . O'BRitK . I ntsT « r lor one moment doubted that Still I tiiini Mr .

      Mrs . O'Brieh then proceeds : — "The servant had scarce time , as I supposed , to deliver the aoove . when Mr . Smith appeared himself and requested an interview , which I granted . In the course of which he commented at some length upon hfe disinterested motiTea , honourable Intentions , and to forth ; showed me a letter of Mr . O'Brien ' s , written previous to the trial at Liverpool , ( which letter Mr . Smith never ha 4 the politeness to answer , ) and begged I would settle everything amicably ; to which I W no objection , provided Mr . O'Brien's name nnd circumstances were not dragged before the public , for other s benrJU—wost decidedly not for his . I took till tie next day to consider , and then agreed that the following letter should appear in the Northern Star and Northern Libtrator , with Mr . Smith ' s answer , a copy of which , in his own band writing , I have in my posvr Mrs . O Brieh then proceeds :-

      session . ™ Here follows the remaining letters , given above , from the Southern Star , only numbered 3 and 4 , and dated May 19 th ; whereas in the Southern Star they appear without date ; as though they had been written on the same day as the preceding ones . After giving these letters , Mrs . O'Brien proceeds : — " Mr . Smith , in the most treacherous manner , and qnito contrary to the arrangement , sent letters No . 1 and 8 , instead of 3 and 4 , to the Northern Liberator . As expostulation will not do , I fear I shall be obliged to resort to legal meanB in compelling the jwrtWs concerned in the Southern Star to wiiLdr ^ w Mr . O'Briens name from all advertisements and the hearting of th > - paper : as I cannot understand whit right they , or any one else , can have to trade upon Mr . OBrien ' s naina and misfortunes .

      " In tho hope that the Editor will , from his wellknown loTe of justice and fair dealing , insert tho above , | "I remain , yours , obediently , " Sophia O'Briew . " This sets in a still stronger li ^ ht the unutterable meanness of the Southern Star ' s reference to Mrs . | O'Brien ' s " own admission in her letter "—a letter j which , it now appear ? , the " generous" proprietor " got her to write" for hiB own purposes , and then , , " in the most tre acherous manner , and quite contrary } to the arrangement" which he had made with the lady for whom he was so " generously" affected ,

      sought to use it for her destruction ; while he suppresses entirel y tho firs t letter , which wo have just given , from Mrs . O'Brien , because its contents would have given the lio to the " generous" inference which he labours to draw from her second letter , which he got her to write . And why wore the dates of these two last letters not given hi the Southern Star * Clwly that the whole might seem to have been written on the same day ; that the readers of the Southern Star might not find out the secret that this " generous" gentleman Syisited Mrs . O'Brien , and " got her to write this last letter , " of which so truly " generous" a use has been made .

      Our readers will perceive , also , another reason why it might be inconvenient for the Southern Star to Insert Mrs . O'Brien ' s first letter . It gives the lie to the assertion of the Southern Star that that lady consented to the coupling of Mr . O'Brien ' s name with the paper . She declares that , so far from consenting , sho distinctl y told Mr . Smith that she never would consent ; and sho gives her reasoriB why she would not consent to it : and very proper reasons they are ; reasona which , when thus simtly stated , plant an indelible brand upon him who , in reference to them , could deliberately write" If she have not availed herself of the generous offer of the proprietor , she hoe had her reasons for so doing , which are not difficult of explanation . " !!

      To bring this matter , then , to a close between Mrs . O'Brien and the " generous" proprietor and conductors of the Southern Star , we merely observe that this correspondence , as a whole , proves that there is lying on the one side or the other . The public will judge for themselves ; we , havft a decided opinion " that Mrs . O'Brien is in the right .

      THE TRIAL OF ONE'S FRIENDS . It is a saying , no less true than trite and hacknied , that adversity is the season for the trial of a mau s friends . Few persons seem likely- to have better evidence of its truth than Mr . O'Connor . In hia dungeon , ho becomes the target at which are aimed the shafts of puny warriors who while he held hifl liberty , esteemed themselves but too happy in a passing notice from him .

      "We thtatMfctB !« |» ret ! y ^ iTTerftHsM by -th e article from tbe Southern Star , ou which wo have already commented . But that , it seems , is not enough for the kind feeling and gratitude of Mr . O Co snort ' s friends of the Southern Star . We find , among the notices to correspondents , in the same paper , that " Mr . Parki * promises , in the next number , if possible , to shew up Feargus O'Connor as a downright political apostate , "

      What a prudent , cautious man this Mr . Parkin is ! He does not make fash promises of what he will do ; bat prudently rubs off half the edge from the disgusted disappointment of his readers , by an anticipatory "if possible . " He has not shewn less pruacuoe in waiting till he knew that Mr . O'Connor was safely taken earo of , wh » r <; it would not be u possible" for him to offer either reply or explanation to anything Mr . Parkin might say , because he would not be permitted to see the attack , before

      thi 3 terrible ' shewing up" was attempted . Verily the valour of this Mr . Radical- Parkin reminds ufl strongly of our schoolboy experience ; when it was no uncommon thing for * little boy to say to a great one , " Only you hold him fast , and see how I will thrash him" ! As long as Mr . Parkin can have it all his own way , the gaoler at York not merely holdiug the hands but blurting the eyes of Mr . O'Connor , Mr . Parkin takes heart of courage , and , though not very sanguine about the matter , will " shew him up" if possible .

      We are informed by several correspondents that this valiant Mr . Parkin has already made one clumsy effort at a fling at Mr . O'Connor , since his imprisonment . We know nothing oi it , for it gonichow happened that the Southern Star of that week did not find its way to our office ; and therefore we had not the pleasuro of seeing Mr . Parkin ' s grateful lucubration any more than Mr . O'Conkor . This was rather singular ; particularly as tho Southern Stat ^ is angry at our not quoting it . However , we wait the appearance of the " shewing up ; " when , if a copy be sent to up , wo may probably resd , but will not promise to " quote" it .

      W hy is Fkargus O'Connor s name lugged into the Southern Star just now ! Do it 3 conductors hope to make it " a paying property" by giving him the ** benefit" of their abuse , now that Mm O'Bbiejc has rejected the " benefit" of their " generosity"' !

Nothing has yot bflen officially dune re ating to the reeooraiiou of the building ; but the Dean , who was abseut from Yors when the fire took place , having arrived , there is no doubt but that it win not bo long before something definite is arranged .

      HALIFAX Public Meeting on behalf op F . O'Connor , Esq . —On Monday evening last , a public meeting was held at the house of Mr . Dean , Labour and Health , Southgitte , iu this town , for the purpose o taking into consideration the cruel and unjust treatment extended towards F . O'Connor , Efq , barrister at law , for having committed no breach of the peace either against lite or property of any kind , nor for any one single act of cruelty lie ever did , hut for what other men arc allowed to practice every day with imp u' ity , and without which it would be next to impossible to expose the vicos and follies of the

      present age , or any corrupt government that ever existed , without making a breach iu what is called the law of libel , and on this charge alono docs he stand convicted . The inhabitants of Halifax , in this meeting assembled , were of unanimous opinion , that the punishment inflicted on the above-named gentloman was opposed to all former precedent , when compared with others who have had to suffer under similar convictions , and that , comparatively speaking , he stood innocent of the charge , seeing that he was only made to answer a « proprietor of the Northern Star , for matter introduced into it at a time which he could not , by any possibility , have prevonted , being unavoidably absent ; and yet , on account of a verdict given under an ex officio information , has he been made to suffor a felon ' s doom . It was unanimously agreed that a memorial should be sent off immediately to the Home Secretary , praying that he might be removed to the debtors '

      side of the Castle , at York , and not be punished worse than other olfenders of the same kind ; and a petition to the House of Common ! :, embodying the same msuter , was pasBcd . Mr . George Thomson , tea-dealer , was unanimously called to the chair , and discharged the duties of his office to the satisfaction of all present , and equal credit to himself , from his general business habits ; and was called upon to sign tho memorial and petition cm behalf of the meeting . One sentiment prevailed throughout the whole—a desire to render a service , b y every legal step that can be adopted , to the individual whom they nighty honour and respect for his past service and personal sacrificc-H , which lie has made for the purpose of establishing Universal Suffrage , uuder whose reign no imprisonment of that kind would ever take place , as the people would then legislate for themselves ; and tho patriots of such an age would be the paid servauts of the public—not martyrs to the public

      cause . Serious Accident . —At Queenshead , near Halifax , on Satu'day last ., Mr . David Knowiea ordered his man to shoot some pigeons which were flying about belonging to some other person who resides iu that neighbourhood , w ;> en the tnati look up the gun , and followed them ; and on reaching iho pigeon-cote , the owner of-them came out , and ; ioeio words ensued between him and tht > man , which ended in a scuffle , and one of them touching the trigger of the gun with hie foor , it went oif , lodging the contents of the piece iu the owner ' s head , and his life has bincc been despaired of .

Specimens of fiivt rate flowers , &o . were produced , all tending to show what the art or man can produce when aided by nature ' s element , but without which his greatest exertions would prove fruitless .

      HUOCERSFiSXTJ . Feargus O'Cohxor . —On Saturday morning , after the anival of tho newspaper * , the account of Mr . O'Connor beii . g rcmovea to York Caetle , and subjected , to the Bamo treatment as the mo ^ t daring villains ou the felons' side of the Castle , flew tlirough the town and cwuntry like an electric shock . Persons of all grades and opinions were anxiously inquiring what coald be done—eveH those who have been the bitterest opponents declared it was one of the most base , bloody , and brutal act that a Government could be guilty of ; aud the present rulers had not even outstripped justice , but common humanity .

      A nnniber of Mr . U'Conuor ' s friends met aud determined on immediately getting up a memorial to the Home Secretary , aim a petition to the House of Commons ; and iu a short time it was ei ^ ned by nearly l , 2 uO rosidont householders , and transiaitte ' i for presentation . On Sunday , many from the outtownships came to iuquire what was to bo done , and also delegates from Halifax acd Dewc-bury . These places are adopting the same course . It ia intended , without something be done , to hold pub ! c meetings . The menioristi and the petitions aro to be presented on Tuesday . All the Liberal members have beeu requested to support the prayers .

      Board Room . —At ten o ' clock , when the names of the Gaard ; ans were called over , eighteen were p-fcwnt . Tho Rev . J . Makwell being abseut , Mr . J Bailey took the chair . Mr . Floyd , the clerk , complained that the relieving offieere did not attend i : > ciuie to have their buoka examined , as wag orJereu by a motion of the lizard some time back , cutirtly nica ' .-anitatiiig him from laying the bnmuess of th ' - Bu ^ rd bef > re [ . hern . Mr . Auderuoh moved that thej attend by nine o ' clock in the morning on the meeting days , which was carried . This is the second time the tame motion has passed . Will they set tbe Guardians again at defiance , as Nicholson , the relieving officer for Huddersfield , has done by a motion passed that he should remove into the town ,

      according to the law and orders of tbe Commissioners ! Mr . Anderson moved , that banker ' s books be furnished to the different overseers , instead of receipts , which , he said , were inconvenient both for the overseers aud the Board . Agreed to . Mr . Hobson gave notice , that next week he ahonld move that all children whtse parents were receiving relief should be sent to ft school at the expense of the Union ; which , according to his oalealation , would cost near £ 9 per week . The master of the Goloar poor house was introduced by Briggs , the Goloar Guardian , who said he received an order from the Board to remove a female pauper , and one of her children , to Aldmondbwry Workhonse . The woman refused to go , and declared she would not unless by force ; and they should be obliged vo chain her in a cart . The

      bastilers called out , "Put her in the eart , then , and chain ker , too , and let her have her fill of it . * Mr . Whitworth interfered , and declared it would be a disgrace to the whole of tht Board if such shameful proceedings were adopted . It was agreed that the master should advise with her to go , and be allowed to take the whole of her children with her , and then if she still refused , she was to be turned cut with her youngest child . The separation clause will be difficult to put into operation , and we see by the conduct of this womaa , that she would rather etarve than be separated from hoc children . They must be inhuman beings to enforce each a system . The Guardians then divided themselves to " hear the applicants for relief , which were very numerous , and there were many who were not admitted .

      On Friday last , Danson , the police officer , who was so severely wounded by the man , who is now in York Castle , tor the murder of Duke , alias Hart , was discharged from the Infirmary , cured ; but has not yet entered upou his duties as chief . Hejiaa remitted to the trustees of the Iufirmaryr , £ 5 , as a donation ; also thanking the medical practitioners for the kindness shown him while placed under their care . We understand he is to commence his duties and take possession of the prism on Monday .

Last Saturday evening they began to collect , and were received cheerfully in every place they culled at . This is as it ought to be . Their subscription was larger than was expected , considering the depressed state of trade . And nr-w for a word or two with those journalists who are bloating up in fulsome paragraphs the revival of trade&c . Had . ¦ n . ; - -an

      , they written that a wholesale bankruptcy was likely to ensue , they would be nearer the mark . It isreally pitiable to see auy Journal lend itselt" to such base infamy , for it is only a ruse of the masters to glut : ho town with labour , so that they may rise it at pleasure , as a child would a playing , and epurn it with disgust , when no longer useful . Already have they begun" to reduce the wages at the rate of from ten to twenty percent ., and in some cases twentyfive per vent ., aud work is not to be had even at that reduction . We know men who went through every warehouse in tho town this week to seek for

      wo rk , and could set none , a ' though some of them were brought up in the town . Those who worked in Barnsley ln . ow well the coxrequences of mich reduction , and what it is to work ra the fetid atmosphere of a damp cdiar sixteen hours per day . We hope this will act as a warning to all poor weavers against coming bore at present . They know that their only guardian is the Star ; it has ' u « vcr deceived them , neither will they be deceived , by the Barnsley correspondent . We should hope , as a redeeming quality , that all those journals who put in such para-« raphs , will contradict them .
