      SUBS CRIPTION for the Widow and Familt of the late Mr . HENRY PATTISON . ' who wa » killed in the recent Accident on the York and North Midland Railway . Henry Pattison was twenty-two years of age : he had been in business in Leeds , as a Printer , for about a year and a half previous to his death , aud the proceeds of the Sale of his Business and Stock will bo scarcely sufficient to meet his liabilities . He has left a Widow enceinte ? and one young Child wholly unprovided for , and his Grandmother , now upwards of eighty-seven years of age , and very infirm , who was wholly dependant on him for subsistence , also survives him . It is intended to raise a fund , to be placed in the hands of two Trustees , for the benefit of Mrs . Pattison and her family , and it is confidently hoped that this appeal to a benevolent public , on behalf of the Widow and Family who have been so suddenly deprived of their protector and support , will be responded to in the liberal manner which the circumstances of the case require .

      lecturers , Mr . Fin ^ igan commenced address , which was listened to with the greatest attention—tht audience expectin ? to hear something advanced new On this vital £ ulg = ct , but was only wearied with a repetition of whit had Leen told many times beforehis party endeavouring to cheer at intervals . Mr . Ireech followed , und the arguments , with statistical facts , brought forth thunders of applauae from ail who beard them . As a specimen of the state Mr . Tinman ¦ was in , a person in the Hall called out , and asked if it did not touch his conscience ? He ( Mr . F . ) answered by saving , " X > oes yemr inoiher know your out ! " which appeared to par&iize the intd . igent of his friends . At the conclusion , a Tote of ? h « . nts was given to the Chairmen : after whieh Mr . Binns moved a vote of

      t > nmTr » to Mr . Leech , which was earned by a fores , of ban-Is , iir . Swann moved one for Mr . Finnlgan , and only a few responded to it . Mr . Binns then moved the following resolution , which was attempted to be suppressed by the persons whe form the committee of Jtr . F . ; but was put by Mr . Clayton , and carried Bn&nvmoBSly . The anti-Corn law party declared it was carried for a repeal of the Com Laws , when Mr . Leech stepped forward , and called upon the audience ¦ who were for the resolution , and for the Charter becoming the law of the land , to bo'd up their hanls , ¦ w hen almost every hand in the place waaheid up . The repealers then left the meeting , no doubt Well satisfied that the humbug could not be thrust down the throats of the people of Huddersneid .

      The following is the resolution proposed'by Mr . Binus , and carried all but unanimously : — " That , in the opinion of this meeting , it would be no less difficult to obtain from the aristocracy the repeal of tht Corn laws—a partial evil—and -which would bene&t only a Tery few , than itweuid be to establish the principles of the Quarter . "We are , therefore , convinced that ths preaen : agicarfon , carried on by the Com Law League , is only intended to divide the unenfranchised by the erj of cheap bread , and thus prevent bo Cfcsirable a consummatiou as the eiia ' viisiuiient of Universal Suffrage . " Three cheers were then given for the Charter ; three for O'Connor , Frost , and the expatriated and imprisoned Chartists : and three groans for the Whirs .

      MAS CHESTER . — Oa Tuesday evening , a lecture was uveu ia the Association Room , Tib-street , by Mr . Thomasson . of Xewcavtle-uprm-Tyne . He commenced by rtm irking that the parties connected with the Household Suffrage movement , were those whs drew up the Oh irttr . and observed , that if Chartism was giv-.-n up for that qu-stion , twelve months wou . 'd not ulapse before that again would be quitted for something c ' ae . He proceeded to glance at the waste of money by an economising legislature , and made some striking and excellent remarks on tLe )» wn shsp method of meeting a deficient revenue by Exchequer Bills , which were very ofun charged to the nation as an addition to its ¦ J . e \ jt- He then referred to the settlement of the Chin 3 question , as being thought by some as likely to advance

      the condition of the masses , and remarked , that if constant ill-n quited toil were a blessing , it would be so , but that nothing short of Universal Suffrage would benefl : the masses ; stern devotion to tight would alone elevats theiu in character an ; l habits . He next adverted to some of the causes of crime , and observed that Government punished offences which their own bad administration of affiirs created . Man , said he , was not n : "re vicious now than in Alfred ' s time , when one prison contained the criminals of the whole nation ; but , ac taat time , small plots of land , cultivated by the j-eople , kypt them in comfort and independence ,

      und s-. ved them from that want and destitution , of which tbey are at present victims . He then turard the attention of his hearers to the organisation of the people , and the necessity of spread irt ; i ; .-furni 3 tion and making themselves acquaint , d with p ijrular richts ; and argued that extended education would benefit the people , allay public prejurfice , : ind unite parties in demanding a Heform in Parliament . The syeiker made an iinprt-ssion which will not be easily eras-. d , and , at the conclusion of his address , Mr . Kuttall moved , and another friend seconded , a vote of thanks to the lecturer , which was given accordingly .

      KEIGHIJEY . —Punishment of thb Stocks . —On Wednesday last , three ycung men were confined in the public stocks for Sabbath-breaking , having been dettc " . fcJ in the -. ct of gaming a few Sundays ago . Conspiract . —An infamous attempt was made at Sutton . about four miles from Keigbley , to ruin a poor man , earned Thomas Davy , who keeps a beer-shop there . A vagabjnd leokiag character , answering to t ! io description of one of Harrison ' s men , went into the house , and wanted a pint of ale warming . On being supplied , he put his band into hi « breeches pocket , as if ia search of money to pay for it . After fumbling sunie time , he began to express surprise , observing that he haJ a shilling in his pocket , for anything he knew ; ) 'Ut , a 3 he imagined it must have -lipped into tbs

      lining , he would be under the necessity ul going into a psivatt ro . > ni to strip himself , and search . Hu accordingly vent into the parlour , and came out again iu a few rairmtes , congratu ! atiDgbimse ! f on having found thu lost shi ' ting- On coming at ' ain into the kitchen , Davy ' s wife , who began to entertain some suspicion of the ma a , wtnt into the parlour , ami discovered three bundles of weft under the longsettle . On mentioning the rrrunistasce toher iusban-J , heii . ime 4 iately weat fcr the coastab . e , who lived next door , and had him uikeii inta custody . A bottle of iuiu was also found on iiis person , which be had , no doubt , intended to leave v . « n the premises also . While this was going on . t ^ o noiorious characters from Keighley , Joseph Kedmair . e aad Barnard M'Yay , eiup ' Ojed as a sort of

      baibns and bastard inspectors , accompanied by the c inytiib ' . e of Silsdtn , rubied into the parlour , wh ^ re they expected to find tLe deposited weft . Finding their dark scheme frustrated , and their tool taken into custody , they prepared to decamp , and , oa being requested to Uke their man and weft with them , they said tbey would have nothing to do with him , and went to another public-house , where they declared their innocence of the whole affair . The man underwent an examination before the Keighlc-y magistrates , and finding hir . istif in a serkus scrape , made a full confession of the whole plot . From his deposition , taken down by . Mr . ilctcaiib , the magistrates ' clerk , it appears that he

      kis beeu in the habit of practising tliese kir ^ d frauds for more than three years back . One person was at present suffering in the House of Correction , and another residing in Bradford had paid £ 30 , through his villany . He said he got the weft from Beilmaine , who got it from Benjamin Bottoinley and Messrs . Bairstowe , of Satton Mil ! , and that Bottomley gnxe him sixteen sbil'ings , and Redmaine twenty-seven , in hand , to perform the job upon Davy and Tommy O'Willits , of G-lusbum . , inrl that if tbt-y could convict them he was to have £ 7 more .

      XJ 2 EDS . —Corn Law Di .-ccssion . —According to previous announcement , a pnblic discussion took place , on Thursday evening last , on the above subject , between Mr . Thomas Mosley , of Leeds , anti-Corn Law Lecturer , and Mr . Leech , of Manchester , Chartist Missionary . The large Hall which is fitted up for the Fox and Goose demonstration was granted for the occasion : about two thousand pmons were present . Mr . Joshua Hobson was appointed chairman for Mr . Leech , and Mr . Thomas Plint for Mr . Mosley . Before the discussion commenced , Mr . Hobson stated , that , as it was originally announoed that the proceedings would commence at half-past seven , and close at half-past ten , and as it was then nearly eight , he thought that eleven o ' clock should be the time for dosing the business . This was agreed to .

      Mr . Mosley then rose , and commenced by hoping the assembly would be as silent as possible , in order that he might be heard , as his voice was rather weak . He would endeavour to point out to the meeting the injurious effects of the Com Laws . They laid a heavy dnty on foreign corn , and , thereby , made bread dear . England was peculiarly situated for manufactures besides it did not grow sufficient Corn , within three millions of quarters annually , for the consumption of its inhabitants ; had there been no ( Torn Laws there need not now be a national debt . Our aristocracy spend fire millions annually of our money in France , and , by their profuse wealth , caused the French to commence manufacturing ; men of ruined and

      indifferent fortunes go abroad , in order to live cheap , as the Corn Laws cause provisions to be too dear at home . He then went through a variety of statistics , to shew the injurious tendency of the Corn L » w ? , and stated that they destroyed the comforts of the poor . They also acted as a tax on the community , by compelling them to pay poor rates , whioh they otherwise would not have to pay . He then read the evidence of several personB given before a Committee of the House of Commons , in corroboration of his views ; and stated that the Corn Laws injured not only the home , but the foreign trado , as , after the turmoil of the late war , the people of the continent offered to exchange their corn for our

      manufactured goods , but our aristocracy would not allow it . There was not half the amount of woollen cloth now exported that had been sent formerly . Nature has ordained that the Continent should be an agricultural country , and not a manufacturing one . He then read extracts from a book , to shew the great increase that had taken place in the exportation of machinery to Germany , Holland , France , &o ., which places were formerly our best customers . Thus , thousands would be thrown idle , if some steps were not taken to alter this state of things . He also read extracts to shew the groat decrease that had taken place in our exports , and appealed to the audience on the injustice of the Corn Laws , aud the complete hop < lessuess of being belter situated until they were abolisl-. t-. j .

      Mr . Lekch arose , and commenced by st , atiug that he fully agreed with the last speaktr , that this was an important question . But it has seldom been examined with regard to tho welfare of the working clas « e ? : i ; bad been stated by Mr . Mosley , that 60 nr'lliou quarters of corn were consumed by the inhabitants of this country—this he ( Mr . Leech ) denied , as a large portion was consumed by horses , and exported to other countries to feed tne tax-eaters and iulers of thia country . He would confine himself chiefly to the latter part of Mr . Mosley ' s statementargument he could nut call i \ namely , " That the Corn Laws tended to reiiuco wages ; " and as Mr . Mosley had quoted various authorities to substantiate his statements , he also would read a

      few . Mr . Leech then went on to show that wages had rapidly decreased before the Corn Laws were in operation , and stated , were it not for the enormous reduction of wa ^ es , tho wording classes of this country could purchase more food and clothing than they now did . His opponent had stated that the Corn Laws caused a decrease in the demand for manufactured /< oods . Why , our trade had increased more since 1815 , than before , which was quite the reverse of what Mr . Mosley had endeavoured to show . It was also a wellknown and lamentable fact , that as our trade went on increasing , the value of goodB and wages of labour decreased in proportion . That we were losing ourtrade . hedenied . But thatwewerolosingthepower

      and means , to consume , he admitted . The manufacturers of Manchester were among .-t the foremost of the Corn Law Repealers , and complained loudly of the decrease of trade ; but in the midst of their complaints , they had , on their owu shewiug , realised a profit of . £ ^ 50 ( 1 , 009 sterling last year ; and , at the same time , the wages of their workmen were reduced 25 per cent . ( Hear , hear . ) He defied any man to deuy the following : —That as our trade increased , the workmen ' s wages decreased . "Were it not for places like this ( meaning Marshall ' s immense factory , in which the meeting was held ) , where poor children , are locked up thirteen or fourteen hours a day , we should not be in the stato we then were . ( A tremendous burst of cheering followed this

      statement . ) The power-loom weavers of Manchester , badly as they were paid before , hive suffered a reduction iu their wages , to the amount of £ 80 , 000 within the last year ; and it has been calculated that in that period the wages of tho workpeople of Manchester , had bf-en reJuced £ 200 , 000 . They would thus be compelled to purchase so much loss in the ensuing year than they cmld previously . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Wliy , then , talk of losing our foreign trade . Wirh r ' -gaid to tl : e Ftatements made concerning the exp rtation of machinery , he would state a fact which would shew that we also imported machinery , a locomotive engine having been purchased from America , and landed here , at twenty-fivo par cent . 1 = s than it could be procured here , although tho Americans p-id fourteen shillings and elevenpence wages to our t-n shrlings and sixpence . They wer < i also rapidly increasing their manufactures . In llilo they ir . auufacmred but 1 , 000 bales of cotton : but in

      1839 they bad consumed 30 , 000 . It would appear from Mr . Motley's logic , that France , with a population of thirty millions of inhabitants , America with fourteen millions , Russia , and other countries , must go to the plough tail , to grow corn for England . Lie thought he had plainly and clearly shown that , the Corn Laws were not the cause of th-a di-trcss ^ d situation of the people of this country . No ! my friends , the real cause of our distress is the reduction that has taken place in our wages , wiiich bittlera us from buying either food or clothing . One of the greatest advocates of Corn Law repeal , aud a leading member of the Corn Law League , at Manchester , had reduced the wages of his workpeople from 7 s . to Ds . of the weekly amount , lie thought this conduct very inconsistent with the large professions made by that party , of wishing to better the condition of the working classes .

      Mr . Mosley denied that Mr . Leech ' s arguments went to refute what he had advanced , as ha merely dwelt on the question of competition , and not that of the Corn Laws . He ( Mr . Mosley ) maintained that the Corn Laws were the chief cause of competition . Hi 3 opponent had complained of the reduction of wages auiwjigst the weavers ; he imputed that to the Corn Laws , whieh would not allow trade to expand . 1 i" a merchant gets a small price for his goods , he cannot afford to give good wages . Mr . Leech has told you that he has come here to shew how it operates on tke interests of the working classes ; am not I doing the Fame ! ( No , no , ) Any man who attempted to divide the middle and working classes was doing a great injury . Their interests were the same . ( Question . )

      Mr . Leech understood that Mr . Mosley had been endeavouring to shew that a repeal ot the Corn l ^ awj would increase trad e and wages ako . That he had failed to do ; for he ( Mr . Leech ) had shewn that as trade increased our wa ^ es decreased . His opponent had talked about hund-loom weavers . There are very few of them now in Lancashire ; they had been supersededjby power ; and the powerlooms were now producing misery and ruin to tho men who worked at them . It was said that if we had the Corn Laws repealed , we should then be enabled to compete with foreigners . Let us see , then , to what our wages must be reduced , in order to enable us to do so . Mr . Leech then proceeded to read a statement of the wages paid

      in foreign countries , varying from five shillings to half-a-orown weekly ; so it would appear from that , if we got our bread for nothing , we could not then compete with those who paid the above-mentioned rate of wages . He mentioned the names of several advocates of repeal , who had their machinery made in France , and imported it hero , whilst others of them were sending warps to the continent to be woven . He denied that he wished to divide the middle aad working classes . It waa the former who had created the division , by their rapacity and ir j < istice towards the working classes ; the middle class had ihe power , if they wished , to remove the evils that existed . As to the talk about foreign trado , he

      maintained that every yard of cloth that left our Bhores before our own population were clothed , was a downright robbery . Spring Rice had stated , in the House of Commons , that the increase which had taken place in the exports of Ireland , proved her prosperity ; whereas , at the same time , the Irish were siarving for want of what was thus exported . Why go abroad to seek a market , when thousands of people in Ireland and Lancashire were all but naked ? Why , when the warehouses were ready to fell with the weight of cloth they contain , were our population shivering in rags ? aitaply , because they are robbed of the fruits of their labour . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Moslby repeated his former statements , and rtad an account of the wages paid from 1792 , down to the present time , and cantrasted it with the price of wheat in the tame periods . Mr . Leech replied . At this period , on one of the audience attempting to leave the meeting , he was rudely stopped by one of the dozen policemen who were present , and ordared into his seat again . Upon this , the Chairman , Mr . Hobson , rose and indignantly objected to the interference of policemen at pnblio meetings . Things had come to a pretty pass if , when a public meeting was called ^ a dozen policemen were to dance attendance , and prevent parties leaving when they wished . He did not know by whose direction they appeared there on that occasion ; but he thought the people of Leeds were fit to be trusted to meet together in public , without having policemen to guard them , or prevent them from departing from the meeting when tbey thought proper .

      Mr . Plist stated that they were sent by Mr . Marshall to protect his property . Mr . Honson replied he knew not who had sent them , but this he knew , that if Mr . Marshall hod given the use of-his mill , he had given it , and that neither Mr . Marshall or his policemen had any right to prevent parties leaving the meeting when they wanted .

      After a little further discussion , in which Mr . Mosley was completely at a loss , Mr . Leech closed it by stating that he had not heard a single argument made use of by his opponent , and waa quite sure that he had sufficiently proved that the abolition of the Cora Laws would not better the condition of the people . He exhorted them to unity and perseverance , aad sat down amidst the applause of the meeting . A vote of thanks was then cheerfully given to Messrs . Hobson and Plint , for their praiseworthy conduct , and the meeting dispersed . BOLTOH . —Modern Druids . —On Saturday last , the members of the " Tradesman ' s" lodge hold their first anniversary at the house of host Peter Hodgson ' s , Ram ' s Head Iun , Darby-street , Bolton , when upwards of a hundred members sat down to an excellent dinner , which gave great satisfaction .

      Highway Robberies . —On Saturday evening last , as a poor shoemaker , was returning home from this town to EJIand , he was stopped at the Jow part ot Elland Wood by highwaymen , who took from him a quantity of meat and leather , which he had in a basket . On the same evening , as Mr . Pilling , basket-maker , of Sowerby Bridge , was returning home on the low road , near Mr . 'fate ' s gardens , he was stopped , and robbed of £ 8 in cash . Radical Clogger . —A clog manufacturer , at Eliand , pledges himself , if the rest of the masters in his trade , who reside in Elland , will do the same thing , that he will give to the amount of fifty shillings , in goods , to tho poorest families in the neighbourhood , who are now suffering for th « want of those articles .

      Inquirers into the Destitute Condition of the Poor—Report states » hat several persons are now engaged in inquiring into the condition in which the poor are placed in this neighbourhood , with a view of having their cases made known , to obtain relief .

      BRADFORD . —Conviction Quashed . — We aro glad to announce that a conviction under the Worsted Acts , ' against Isaac Stocks , a respectable manufacturer of tlorton , from which h « appealed to the Quarter Sessions , hi > ld at Wakefield , last week , was , upon application of counsel , quashed with costs . HUDDEHSFIELD . —Board of Guardians . —At the meeting of the Board , on Friday week , an extra number of applicants for relief presented themselves , many of them , miserably clothed , had crawlod through the snow-storm , several miles , to be buffttted , cursed , and cuffed , by the dirty wideTstrappers of the Malthusian screwguts . Mr . Joseph Littlewood , guardian for one of the out-townshipa , had moved , according to notice , " That the Union be

      dismembered , by cutting offthe Graveship of Hulme and Nether Toug , and that the centre of the New Union bo at Holmfirth . " Mr . Brad * baw seconded tho motion . Mr . Joseph Batty , after a bitterly . sarcastic speech , moved the adjournment of the discussion to that day six months . Mr . Pitkethly moved , as a rider to the amendment , " That the Union be divided into thirty-four townships . " The chairman could not put Mr . P . ' s rider , as it was contrary to law . Had he moved that the divisiou was into thirty four uuions , instead of townships , he could have put his proposition . Mr . P . said he felt the importance of the subject so deeply , that if it could be allowed , he would amend tho wording in any way that would meet their approbation . They were obdurate , and 80 the motion and amendment were put , whon there appeared ten for the division , and twenty-eight for discussing it that day six months , when they would be out of office ,

      thus burking them both , which will produce , no doubt , a salutary effect ; and if Mr . Littlewood be correct , and the Holmfirth calves stop away—if they will only take their milk at homo , it will confer a great blessing on tho community . When the divisional ( question was settled , the subject of finance was turned to , and ic was found that the Union owed the bank , for their " rag" " promises to pay , " some seventeen hundred pounds . Mr . Ex-offido Brook asked why this was ? and felt astonished to be informed the money could not be raised in the Union , to meet the establislimentand other impositions . Tho bank presses for tho money , and they cannot pay ; they threaten to stop iho tap , and then thu poor must starve ; so their existence hangs upon the ipse dixit of a dandified bank , clerk . He can say , " I have directions not to pay any more of yosr checks , " und the awful alternative is death to the poor . The schoolmaster Las long been abroad , and he has brought us to a terrific state .

One was taken up dead , aud the other died iu a short time after . Another Accident . —On Tuesday evoning , a woman , in Taylor-row , went outside the door to bring in a washing tub , which stood on the top step going into the house ; when she thought to lift it , she found it fastened to the step by the frost .

      Friday Morning , Half-past Nine . The London Mail has not arrived . From the London Papers of Thursday we give the following scraps : — Death in St . Bartholomew ' s Hospital , from Disease costracted in Prison . —Yesterday afternoon , an inquest was held before Mr . Payne , at St , Bartholomew ' s Hospital , on the body of Henry Roberts , aged 16 , lately a prisoner in Cold Bath Fields Hou 6 e of Correction .

      Seth Roberts , labourer , and father of deceased , said that three months since his son , who was a paper-stainer , and who then enjoyed very good health , ; was . taken by the police into custody , charged with having uulawful possession of some old iron , and sentenced , from Marylebone police , to two months' imprisonment , with hard labour , in the House of Correction , Cold Bath-fields . In about a month after his incarceration ^ witness , hearing that he was ill , went to visit him ; he found him in the prison infirmary very ill , unable to ' speak , and incapable of recognising any one around him . His mother continued to visit him daily until the term of his confinement had expired , when , having the option of leaving him in the prison infirmary , or removing him elsewhere , the latter alternative was chosen , and he was taken to that hospital .

      By a Juror—Prisoners have informed me that my son was several times punished by confinement and low diet ; once for not answering to his name when called over , and another for spitting on the floors . He was formerly a strong and robust lad ; but when he saw him in prison he was very much emaciated , and had scarcely an ounce of flesh upon his bones . The pr ison doctor depesed that , in his opinion , the deceased died of paralysis of the . brain , not induced by want of food . The Governer deposed that he had been punished on the 15 th of October , for misconduct , and placed on read and water ior three days . He had received no other punishment . A refractory prisoner receives eight ounces of bread the first day of his punishment , twelve ounces the second , and sixteen ounces the third day . Verdict— " Died from natural causes . "
