      you from yonr daily slavery to assemble « 2 jjwim ? , to congregate in the proud majesty of your mighi , that you may teach tyrants a lesson they will not speedily forget , that you may take and proclaim the oath of the patriot , an oath not taken in secret upon a book —but engraven upon the heart , and proclaimed in &e face of heaven and before men—the oath of the fanoerat— u To Lvrx Free or Die . " WhOe calling upon you to arise in yonr strength on this occasion , whilst urging yon to unite in the g lorious straggle for Universal Suffrage we hare not forgotten—we are not unmindfnl of your recent trozgies against the introduction into your district of that infamoui > , that vile , that atrocious ordinanc e ^ ( for it is no law in fact , Dor should be obeyed as inch . ) U » accursed New Poor Law

Between twelve and oue o ' clock , - he was quarreling with his wife , aud blows haying passed between them , some one who was drinking iu the house went out to fetch ibe deceased , wbo was silting with a neigbbonr .

      He came immediately aud proceeded op stairs , where ibe quarrel was taking place . We hare inspected the jreiuiies , aud tiud tuat at the top of UiJ , fctaim there is a bad-room to the leIt , containing two ' beds ; another to the right , containing oue bed ; and beyoud this there u another room , which the prisoner appropriated to the pnrpesesora workshop . Some words took place between the prisoner and the . deceased , which irritated the former beyond measure ; 4 i » r , whilst his son was just at the top of the stairs , he wenl through the bed-room to tb £ right to the -work-thop ,- awl returned with a small sharp knite , which i * nsed to cat leather .

The inquest will be held to-morrow , before XV . S . Rutler , Esq ., the Coroner for the Hundred of Salford ; but whilHt we were oh the spot to-day , we saw all the witnesses , and obtained Irom them the following statements :- — Jane Gaskell say *—! live with my sister a few doors from MillerV beer-shop . Between one aud two o ' clock on Sunday , morning , one of the deceased's sisters ( the eldest of the finters living at home ) , came in and said there was a quarrel at home , and « h » s would stay while it was over . A few momeuts afterwardi ; , we hrard a shriek in the direction of Miller ' s , and I went to the house to

      ascertain the cause . On entering , I found ho one in to lower rooms , and after listening to hear if any one was above , I proceeded up stairs . There was ho one in the bed-room at the head of the itaiw , but on turning into the room ou my left , I saw deceased stretched upon the floor on his face . He appeared to be dead . His father and mother wtre standing near his body , and his mother , in an agony of grief , accusing her husband of having " murdered her lamb . " Police-officer Longson came iii directl y afterwards , and by his direction I looked to Hud the instrument with which the deadly blow had been inflicted , and near to the head of the deceased I found a kuife , such as shoemakers use . Deceased ' s youHger brother and sister were present , this room having two beds iiu one of wbicU was theirs , and they were clinging to each other iu greut alarm .

      staircase , old Miller came out bf tbe room ou my Iff 1 , and ran into bis workshop . He came back wiih h kuife iu his bntid , and exclaimed , " Bb'st yon , if you strike me again , I'll run that knife into you . " Deceased then came into the room where 1 was standing , nud inquired fur Mary Ann ( bis elder sister ) .

      ASHTOir-UNDER-LVKB . Brutal AftsAutTv-rWe have this day witnessed one of tbwe curion *« , and we regret to say , too common decisions , that are alike disgraceful * to the maifiKtracy and the people in tbin boaAed land of liberty and free discussion . Henry Hibbwt w « h fummoned to appear before the bench , tor having committed a violent and unprovoked assault o » the person of —— Cunningham , a puny orphan , about fourteen years of age . It appears the defendant u manager of a cotton mill , in Ashton ^ of which Mr . Thomas Smitlu i » proprietor , and the boy Cunningham was employed by James Mills , a rorer , in the same establishment . On Friday , the 5 fh instant , Mr . H . sent for complainant iuto another part of the njill . from where h « was usually employedto tax

      , him with Imving negli ' . cte'd to perform certain duties in the ghap ? of cleaning and arrauging bobbins , which duty the bey , Hccordin ? to the enrlence ailduced , had never neglected , and for denyi-. tg which cliHr ^ e , Mr . Hibbert t ( M ) k the liberty to teize tbe child by the bair , and beat him in the m (> st unmanly mul Siivnge manner . From what transpired during the trial , we leHrned that the infant labourer was the oldest of a number of araall unprotected childten , » nd his gentle persecntor had the impudence to tell ibe bench that he tuought it better to beat the compiaiuaut thiin to discharge him ; however , the niHiiistrareif thought proper in retiiru for Mr . Hibbert ' a

      inerciful bebayiouN tu fine him two shillings and sixpence , and make [ him Pay costs . Too much praise cannot be given to Mr . R . Cobbett , for bis 8 >* rvice !« on thii *« ccasion , as he came forward in the most kind and philanthropic manner and tendered liis powerfiil aid gratuitously in defence of the oppressed . The above named Hibbert was christened Heury Hunt Hibbert , when that immortal patriot , Henry Hunt , was in the zenith Of his fame , but « iuce that era , having risen to the ranks of the mid' lle class , auit finding Uadicalism unpopular , the ba < e ap (» . < tnte has been rechristened , and is now au- ^ - a— manager and Mr . Henry Hibbert .

      Pavment -jp WA 0 E 8 .- ^ -Jameii Kippax summoned Wil iiim Heald , to shew cause why lie would not pay him two weeks wages ; he James Kippax having been out of employ the last tortni ^ ht , in coiiseqiience of being discharged from the factory belonniug to Samuel Hegniubottom and Sons , wuhout the customary notice o ( fourteen days . Win . Heald was a cottou-s ^ inuer in the employ of S . H . and Sons , and Ja « . Kippnx was his piecer . On Friday , Sept . 31 » t . a public meeting was called at the great room in ChMrlestown , of piecers only , to take into con--ideration the propriety of going to Renal Moor , on Monday , Sept . 24 th , when it was unanimouily agreed to by about 1000 young persons , male aiiJ

      female , that they would meet in th <* Market-place , on the ' 24 th , at six o ' clock in the moniinsr , m > tead ol' going to tlie mills , and by this means give libt-rry both t <» men and women ; no mail interfered , and Kippux was one that a < idressed hin juvenile compatriots on the 21 sf , but on the following day , ( 2 ^ d , J Mr . ffpi , , Hegginbottom , one of the firm , tbrced Win . Heald to discharge the boy , Kippax , in tbe middle of the day , without either a laiilt or notice , except ' ' Attending the meeting at Cbarlestown , w . tiicli uiBy be consiiiered the crime . Hence Kippax suramoiied Win . Hegginbottom to pay him two weeks wnges amounting , we beVeve , to i . 1 , or el . » e to allow him to serve fourteen days notice according to tile rules of the mill , ' which reasonable proportions were refused . The sapieutju Iges , however , decided that Heald , the spinner , was Kip pax ' * muster .

      although Win . Heggiubottom obliged Heald to discharge ihe b <» y . Mr . It . Cobbett undertook to coniliict Kipuax ' s application , and in the curse of the enquiry it was elicited that Hegginbottoin Imd offt-reii to pay expenses , and all would desire , if lie , HmlcJ , would go against Kippax . Heald , however , .-tuck to his integrity , and told the ' . 'truth , and the consequence was that he was obliged to pay ( he wage .-, ami co ^ ' ti * , although be never aischarged Kippax , nud bore testimony to Ins ability as a servant , ami his diameter as a man . Mr . Coltbett protested ngaiust interested : parties adjudicating oil tiie question , as nil the magislrates oil the bench were manufacturers or mill-owiiem . Truly , England is in a pretty pickle , when we must . be judged by cotton lords and governed by cotton law ; however , measures are in progress to' bring the case on again at the Sessions .
