      44 , ALBIOJN STHEET , LEEDS . TN CASES of SECRECY consult the TREATISE JL on every Stage and Symptom of the VENEREAL DISEASE , in its mild and most alarming forms , just published , by Messrs . PERRY and CO ., Suroko . vs , No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Passage ; and 4 , Great Charles-street , Birmingham , and given gratis with each Box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and 11 s . per Box , containing a full description of the above complaint , illustrated by Engravings , shewing the different stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease , as well as the dreadful effects of Mercury , accompanied with plain and practical directions for an effectual and speedy cure , with ease , secrecy , and safety , without the aid of Medical assistance . Perry's Purifying Specific Pills , price 2 s . 9 d ., 4 s . 6 d ., and lls . ( Observe none are genuine witbr out the signature of R . and L . Perry on the side of each wrapper ) which are well known throughout Europe and America , to be the most certain and effectual cure ever discovered for every Stage and Symptom of the Venereal Disease , in both sexes , including Gonorrhoea , Gleets , Secondary Symptoms , Strictures , Seminal Weakness , Deficiency , and Diseases of the Urinary Passages , without loas ot time , confinement , or hindrance from business . They have effected the most surprising cures , not only in recent and severe cases , but when salivation aud all other means have failed ; and when an early application is made to these Pills , for the cure of the Venereal Disease , frequently contracted iu a moment of inebriety , the eradication is generally com p leted in a few days ; and ir the more advanced and inveterate stages of venereal infection , characterised by a variety of painful and distressing symptoms , a perseverance in the Specific Pills , in which Messrs . Perry have happily compressed the most purifying and healing virtues of the principal part of the vegetable system , and which is of the utmost importance to those afflicted with Scotbutio affections , Eruptions on any part of the body , Ulcerations , Sorofulousor Venereal taint ; being justly calculated to cleanse the blood from all foulness , counteract every morbid affection , and restore weak and emaciated constitutions to pristine health and vigour . The rash , indiscriminate , and unqualified use of Mercury , has been productive of infinite mischief ; under the notion of its being an antidote for a certain disease , the untutored think they have only to saturate their system with Mercury , and the business is accomplished . Fatal error ! Thousands are annually either mercurialized out of existence , or their constitutions so broken , and the functions of nature so impaired , as to render the residue of life miserable . The disorder we have in view owes its fatal results either to neglect or ignorance . In the first stage it is always local , and easy to be extinguished by attending to the directions fully pointed out in the Treatise , without the smallest injury to the constitution ; but when neglected , or improperly treated , a mere local affection will be eonverted into an incurable and fatal malady . Whai a pity that a young man , the hope of his country and the darling of his parents , should be snatched fr » m all the prospects and enjoymetns of life by the consequences of one unguarded moment . and b y adis « ase which is-not in its own nature fatal , and which never proves so if properly treated . It is a melancholy fact thatthoasands fall victim , to this horrid disease owing to the unskilfulaess of illiterate men , who , by the use o / that deadly poison , mercury , ruin the constitution , cause ulceration , blotches on the head , face , aad body , dunness of sight , noise in the ears , deaftiees , obstinate gleets , nodes on the shin bone , uioerated sora throats , diseased noee , with nocturnal pains in th » head and limbs , till at length a geaeral debility , of the constitution endues , and a melancholy death put * a period to their dreadful sufferings . Messrs . Perry and Co ., Surgeons , may be consulted , as usual , at No . 44 , Albion-street , Leeds , Private Entrance in the Fassaga ; and No . 4 , Great Cnarles-Btreet , Birmingham . Only one personal viBit is required from a eauitry patient to enable Messrs .

Jaxne * "Walker , in Brimte , was charged before the Bitting magistrates at toe Court Honse , with having ridden prer & child , in BuBlingthorpe Lane , on the 11 th instanfc From &s evidence given it would appear that Gaseoigne ins riding at the usual rate of batcher ' s lads—fall gallop , and that the child , not two years old , ^ ne crossing the street , and had not tiae-to get oat of the way . Though not very greatly injured , there was a eat down the side of the Bkall , « id the assistance of a surgeon was neeeesary ; his ehv ee for atteodanee was £ 1 ls and h appearing to the m agistrates that the lad had no intention of r idm * orer the child , he was ordered to pa ; this , ad was then dismissed with a eaation as to his fosm equestrian exploits .

      Fire . —On Tuesday afternoon , an alarming fire broke out is the taxm buildings at Bramley Grange , WinB-B" ** ' new Leeds , the property of Mr . Skelton . m ^ f saaa were first observed about half-past one o'decfr , when an express was sent to this town for ? He aid of fire engines . Them were soon despatched , and by « reat exertions the fire was got under , but aot before it had destroyed the barn , containing a Yifa abk thrashing machine , and a large quantity of gain ; besides the stabling , and four sticks , namely , one of wheat , one of oats , one of hay , and another of straw . The fire , we understand , originated from » ebinmey of one of tie farm cottages getting on fire , » spark from which communicated with some loose straw . The damage will probably amount to between £ 40 * and < £ 5 W , which is covered by insurance in the Leeds and Yorkshire office .

      Circio * to Shop-keepbbs . —It is the practice with some of the shop-keepers in our most public streets to leave large packages , particularly of dra-T > erT goods , standing in front of their shops—a Sietioe for which they are Iiabla to be fined under Se poliea act- -A shop-keeper ia Lowerhead Row , appeared by summons before the magistrates on Saturday last , when , it being his first offence , he was excused on payment of the expenses , ( 6 s . & < L , ) bat cautioned to be Tery careful how he again © fended .

Henry Collister , who keep 3 the Queen Ann , at Holbeck , appeared before the magistrates at the Court-House , to answer to an information pieferred ininst him by one of the nightly watch , for

      Buffering card and dice playing in his house . From the gtaiement of Mr . Read , the chief-constable , it would appear that some officious neighbour of Mr . Colliater ' g , bad , in a most friendly spirit , sent & letter to tie Mayor , informing him that such practices were refered ; the letter was handed to Mr . Bead , and he , at the request of the Mayor , told the watchman to call is on Monday night , when two parties were pl » jifl | cards in one room , and a party were at . dice mthebu . The cards were takes possession of . Hr . Collister pleaded ignorance of what was going on ; but said , as it had been made out , he hoped she magistrates would be as lenient as possible . He had let his hoase , finding it impossible to carry on

      withovi some amusement being allowed , as if parties © onld not get it at one place , they would go to another . Mr . Alderman Holdforth , who was on the bench said— " We have nothing to do with the law but to adminstar it , and we sha ll fine you in the lowest penalty we can . I think it is a hard case , and » Tery objectionable law , to debar ft POOT man from * " » "srnjr himself , while the rich are permitted io gamble with impunity . A poor man , if he goes to get a pint of ale , and to amuse himself , is liable to afine , or makes the landlord liable to a fine ; whilst I , because I can ifford it , may have a party at ay own house and play as long as we like . —I dissent from the law . " He was fined five shillings and costs .

      ROLULKABLB ISSTASCB OP GlGAKTJC ASD RlFID Tecetawos . —The following extraordinary prodigy ia the vegetable kingdom is we think deserving of taticfe , and is by no means less singular than true : a few days ago the shoot of a common briar or bramble was cut on Thistle Hill , Knaresbro ' , ( near the place where Eugene Aram was hung in chains , ) which when measured was foand to hare attained the astonishing growth of thirty feet and upwards since last March . Ssaior 3 Accibest . —A serious accident happened « n Sunday last , to a young man of the name of

      George Townend , of Gawthorp , under the following circumstances : —He was taking a walk in the fields along with five or six of his companions , one of whom had a knife open in his hand , when a scuffle arose , in which Townend took a prominent part , and the knife was accidentally run into his ana . We hive not heard the exaet nature of the wound , but we Tmoerstend that two medical gentlemen , who were soon in attendance , had much difficulty in stopping the effusion of blood . The poor sufferer now He 3 at the Traveller ' s Inn , Qssettj in a very precarious state .

      Cokcert , Music Hah . —Judging from the programme of Heir Eckersberg ' s concert for Monday evening next , a rich and brilliant treat will be afferded to the lovers of music . In addition to the various pieces by the usual band , and the military band , the names of Eerr Eckersberg and Mr . Bywater occur in solo performances , the former on the clarionet , and the litter on the violin , besides that of Mi 3 a Brown for two songs . The finale ( a mud mnsie&l picture and representation of the Btttie of Waterloo ) promises to be an interesting piece . Indeed , the programme presents throughout a judicious and attractive selection .

      A Project ' s Pest . —On Tuesday last , George Bottomley , a man who says he is a woolsorter , and tomes from Rochdale , wasbronght before the sitting sagistrates at the Leeds Court House , on a eharg * cf harmg defrauded several innkeepers and others , at whose expence he had been faring sumptuously d » y by day , until Tuesday aorning , when , after « njoying % substantial breakfast at the Golden Lion , lie was given into custody . From the statements aside it would seem that Bottomley came to Leeds in the Kiddle of last week , and first pnt up at Parker ' s

      Temperance Coffee House , in Briggate , but not being altogether % teetotaller when he could get any thing better , he only patronised " temperance" unt il he hid had time to reconnoitre the town , and had eaten and dr&Ek to the amount of Ss . Id ., when he slipped tS , forgetting to pay bis bill . From here he went to the Griffin ; bis stomach no longer relished tea , toffee , and " Sampson ? ' he wanted something Wronger , and , accordingly , having found comfortable qnariers at the Griffin , he ordered largely of bed , breakfast , and brandy , " until Monday afternoon , -when " mine host" was so uncivil as to desire

      payment . Onr hero said rery coolly that he had no xbwj , nor had he any means of getting any ; & wiliest ceremony he was as coollv desired to make maself scarce . From the Griffin he went to the whden Lion , where he again feasted himself with « tt good things of tie larder and the bar , and from Whence he wa 3 meditating a hasty retreat on Tues-<« y forenoon . The waiter , howerer , who was too old a bird to be canght with chaff , placed a veto tpon his farther perambulations , by giving him into toe custody of an officer , by whom he was introcne&dto

      the magistrates . In the presence , he was « taciturn as need be , not deigning to answer any jjB estions . After consulting with their clerk , the oewh said that he had committed an indictable ° 2 ence , but might be proceeded against summarily , « otbey therefore should call upon him to find »* o Ecreties in £ 28 each , to be of good behaviour » f ftree months , in default of nhich he would go to " uefield for that period .

      KEIGHUBY . Ttxrvex : fob tjsb Desti-• rvrs . —At the Petty Sessions , held last week , before William Ellis and Frederick Greenwood , Esquires , a woman was brought up charged with the crime of begging , after being ordered out of the town . Like most persons in similar situations , she presented an appearance of extreme poverty . On Sugden stating the nature of her crime , Mr . Ellis , who acts as presiding magistrate , began to question her in hii usual kind and sympathising manner about the cause of her poverty , and toe place of her settlement . The woman , who appeared to excite general pity , gave a very artless account of herself . She said that her name was Ann Wilson , and that she came from Preston , in Lancashire , although her native town was Glossop . in Derbvshir * . -

      that she had wrought nearly all her life in cotton factories , but through beinj ? thrown out of employment , was under ttie necessity of « ither begging , stealing , or starring . Well , my good woman , said the humane magistrate , if we should let you go at this time , would you promise us that you would go straight home to your parish , and never beg again . She assured him , with many thanks for his kindness , that if they would only liberate her , she would do bo . Sugden , the constable , who was standing by her side all the time , thinking that the magistrates intended to do as they said in good earnest , and that he would consequently lose the twenty-five shillings he had in prospect for carrying her to Wakefield , drew their worship ' s attention to her shoes and stockings , which , together with the rest of her dress , he represented as being in the most deplorable

      condition . His timely hint had the desired effect . Mr . Ellis then asked her what money she had aboat her to take her home with ! On her replying none at all ; well , then , said the kind-hearted magistrate , you have proved , by your own confession , that if we let you go at this time , JOU will commence begging again , for the means of support , while on your way home , and , therefore , we cannot let you go . The two magistrates , after consulting together about a minute , ordered her to be committed to Wakefield House of Correction for fourteen days . The principal objection urged by the magistrates , against her being set at liberty , was , that Bhe had no money to carry her home with , and to remedy this , they sent her to-prison , whence she would be discharged , after a fortnight ' s punishment , in exactly the same situation , . without money , besides being at a greater distance from home .

      Catchijsg a Tartar . —Last week , a curate employed at the Bingley Parish Church took a walk ou business as far as Cullingworth and neighbourhood , to ascertain the feelings of his flock about establishing a Chapel of Ease , in the OJd Fellows ' Hall , at the above place . In the course of his ramble he came to a small hamlet called Rycroft , and walked into a poor man ' s house to interrogate the family on the subject . The man was in the garden at the Urn * , and after allowing him a sufficient opportunity to question his wife , thought he would walk in and have a little conversation with the gentleman himself . After pursuing the usual compliment , the husband brought out a testament and read a portion in praise of charity , after which , he asked

      htm if he thought the establishment to which he belonged , and which swallowed up the sum of ten millions annually , bad anything to do with that virtue . The curate gave no answer , bat looked at the fire . He then asked him several questions about the consistency of Christian ministers supporting oppression and tyranny , and wished to know his opinion about the People ' s Charter . The curate still continued dumb , looking at the fire . Hearing some person weaviag above , and wishing to draw his unpleasant visit to a close , he desired the good man to invite the person down , as he always made it a rule to finish off a visit by offering up a short family prayer . The man , who was a thorough Chartist , told him he wonld grant bis request , upon condition that he would pray for the Charter to become the law of

      the land , and that right speedily , and that the Lord would blqss and support O'Connor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and all the suffering Chartists now in prison for advocating the cause of truth and justice . He the curate took taid of his hat , and the man , thinking he was going to commence without agreeing to the stipulation , said , now I tell you , if you pray her « , you shall pray for Feargus O'Connor and all the others , and mention their names distinctly . The curate , however , made to the door , bidding him good day , and the man returned the compliment , by telling him , that he was very far from the character of a genuine Christian minister . BASNSI . ET .-On Monday last , Mrs . Booth , of Baker ' s-street , was found dead in her bed , though she did not complain of any illness on Sunday evening .

      Mitchell . — The mends of Mitchell , who has been condemned to execution , have got up a petition , praying for a commutation of his sentence . OVEHDEWi—Ordeb op the Peacbfcx Dote —On Monday last , the Honourable Order cf the Peaceful Dove , of the Halifax district , opened a new Lodge , at the house of Mr . Tidswell , the Golden Fleece Inn , Bradshaw Lane , Ovenden , when twenty-four healthy-looking men were initiated into the Order , and all of them seemed quite pleased . The name of the Lodge is Vital Spark . " A good and substantial supper was provided by the host and hostess of the house , to which fare the party did ample justice .

      BUR 7 . —Yesterday week , as some boys were playing on the bank of the reservoir , near Bury , the BOn of a man of the name of James Livesey , in the pay of the rich , desired the boys to go away . The boys refused ; and upon their doing so , James Livesey , the son , proceeded home ( a distance of one hundred yards or more ) , and in a few moments returned with a sort of stick , and very deliberately plunged it into the breast of one of the boys , of the name of Thomas Birtwistle , of Bell-lane , near Bnry . The boy dropped , to all appearance , lifeless on the ground : he waa conveyed home in the night . Surgical aid was quickly procured , and the boy

      pronounced to be in imminent danger of his life . He has since recovered , but what has Livesey been done with ! What does the reader think ? Was he eemmitted to take his trial at the Assizes ? No , ke -was not . Why , what then ? He was brought before the sitting magistrates , E . Grundy , Esq . and others ; and , in eonseqneDce of his father being & favourite of the rich , he was allowed to compromise the matter , while it was distinctly sworn by three or four of the boys , that the stick had a dagger in it . This is either a gross violation of the law , or the law is an outrage on the British people , and shews the necessity for a change in the administration of justice . —Correspondent .

      CHOKLTON-UPON-MEDLOCK-Bkl ial Assath-t bt Two Poi-iceman , —A person of the name of Edward Helen had , it appears , been with one of his brother Odd Fellows , paying their devotions to Bacchus , until a late hour on the 10 th inst ., when Helen ' s wife came to take him home ; they thought they would call upon a friend in Fountainstreet ; consequently they knocked at the door , when instantly two policemen , M'Koon and Davie 3 , who happened to be on the other side of the road , came , and" without ceremony struck Helen ' s wife , who had a child in her arms . ¦ Of course the husband could Hot . brook this , and therefore remonstrated with them upon the impropriety Of this brntality , but these disturbers , instead of protectors of the peace , resumed their bajbarity by beating the husband with their heavy bludgeons ; indeed they not only beat

      him , but they also took him and confined him in the lock-up . His wife very naturally followed , and implored them to release her husband , but instead of so doing , they immediately locked her and her child up likewise ; during all this time , the unfortunate man was- bleeding profusely , insomuch that these hirelings deemed it necessary for their own safety to take kim to the infirmary . After he had been examined by the surgeon , he was taken back and placed in " durance vile . " Both were liberated next day , yet the man was so dreadfully abused by these aforesaid night guardi&ns that , to all appearance , he cannot possibly recover . Hehas been duly attended to by two surgeons , who have done all in their power to restore the dying man . He is constantly in a state of insensibility , and the bad smell which arises from him is beyond description .

      SLAJTSFXEXiD . —Few hamlets now-a-days escape being cursed with a village despot , and but few are more tyrannized over than we are , as the following case of oppression will most clearly show : —The rurals , not being able to find a job , owing to the sober habits of the people , are doing all they can to excite the inhabitants to a breach of the peace : the working classes here are not allowed to stand in the street to speak to each other , while a set of idle drones are continually lounging about our streets . Daring the late storm , two poor men , who were out of employment , whose miserable homes and starving families compelled them to go into the Market-place to see if they could procure a job , to enable them to get some food for themselves and families , while

      they were standing on the causeway , one of the ffai d ' arma came up , and ordered them off ; and for not complying with the orders of this minion they were summoned before the magistrates , who , in the exercise of their high prerogatiTe , fined them five shillings each and expenees . If they had been sent to prison there and then , the poor fellows would not have complained , for it would have saved them many a hungry belly ; but not so , they were left to starve until the storm was gone , and they had got to work , when they were dragged from their families , and consigned to the felons' dungeon , and their poor

      wives and children are left starving , and would not even be allowed parish relief , whilst the collective wisdom at St . Stephens are babbling about an Irish fortification Bill to keep the French out . The autocrats and their mercenaries are doing all they can to drive the people of England to desperation ; but there is a point at which human endurance is no longer bearable : and wben the bow does break , woe to the tyrants and oppressors of the poor . The people of Mansfield have commenced a subscription for the families of these poor men . A subBcrjption book is open at Mr . Fenton ' s , Temperance Hotel , StockweU-rate .- ^ c > rr « / W 2 < 2 fR ? i

      _ WAHHUfOTOKr . —Grand UmjB » 0 a » BB 05 UjiD Fellows . —On Sunday last , a funeral of one of tie members of tbe above Order , under tbe Leeds Committee of Management , took place at Win wick Cbwch , about three miles from Warxington . The funeral was headed by a procession of upward * of one Jmndred members , neatly attired in black silk sashes and white gloves . On reaching the church , th « Rererend Gentleman received intimation tbat the parties , according to their usual custom-intended to read their own funeral ceremony . The Reverend Minister said he could not allow the service to be read , so the parties , after a brief conversation , permitted him to read it .

      WAXEFIEL © . —MiTjujtoirr wot Blissful . — Benjamin Rodgers , of East Ardsley , farmer , was charged , » t Wakefield Court House , on Monday , by the ov&rseer of that place , with neglecting to support his wife , who had become chargeable to that parish . The defendant gare utterance to a long tirade of grievow faults and misdoings , which he said his wife waa guilty of , and which appeared very plausible till contradicted by his wife , whose statemeats , backed by the evidence of the overseer , completely changed tbe colour of the ease . The poor creature , while citing the ill usage to which she was

      Bubj&ct at the hands of her husband , was so overcoma by grief and weakness of body , that she swooned , and it was some time before she could be restored . The magistrates gave the fellow a Bevere reprimand , and ordered him to allow his wife , who had left home , 4 s . per week , and to pay 103 . present expenoes , and that he should give up the whole of her olothes into the hands of the constable for her own use , and also intimated that if he should be brought there again , he would have to find heavy bond to keep the peace for twelve months , OI b « imprisoned the while in the House of Correction .

      BBADFO&D . —Tju Pabtt in Hohoub of Mb . Oastlbbu—The adjourned meeting of the friends of Mr . Oastler took place at the -house of Mr . James Wade , New Inn , on Monday evening last , Mr . James Ibbetson in the chair ; when resolutions were unanimously adopted relative to the tea party for the benefit of Mr . Oastler , which will take place on the ensuing holidays , and that the Temperance Hall be applied for , as most suitable for the occasion . It was also resolved that the town of Bradford and its vicinity be posted with bills , stating the time and S lace , and likewise calling on the friends of Mr . lastler to come forward , to lend a helping hand on this occasion .

      Cmsious Robbery . —On Saturday last , a young man named William Jackson , was committed to take his trial at the sessions , under the following oircnmBt&nces : —He waa employed by Mr . Henry Rose , of Well-str » et , grocer , in his warehouse . On the Monday preceding , Mr . Rose counted up the silver he had in his till , to the amount of £ 16 , and wrapped it up in paper and put it in his desk . He then went out , leaving Jackson and two shop-boys , named John Hillis and Edwin Hodgson , in the shop .

      The prisoner pretended to seek a besom near the desk , in order to sweep the warehouse , and was seen by the boys to take the money out of the desk in a sly manner . He presently left the shop , and it was afterwards discovered that he immediately left the town and proceeded to York per coach to see the stirring . He was followed by Mr , Rose , and apprehended a few days afterwards , by Moses Sugden , in Castlegate , and £ 1 16-i . was found on him . Court or Requests . —During the year 1810 , no less than 6 , 000 summonses have been issued in this Court—an immense number for the period .

      Wateb Wobks . —In the Bill intended to be enacted during the present session of Parliament , for supplying the town with water , it is stated that the undertaking will require £ 44 , 000 to complete it , and it ia proposed to raise it in 2 £ 00 shares of £ 20 each . It is proposed that the following rates for the water shall not be exceeded : —The occup ' ers of houses under £ 20 a-year , to be supplied at a rate per centum per annum not exceeding £ 7 10 s . ; houses under £ 40 a-year , £ 7 ; under £ 60 , at £ 6 10 s . ; under £ 80 , £ 6 ; and under £ 100 , at £ 5 10 a . per centum per annum .

      Bradford Court House . —Caution to Oveblookkbs . —On Wednesday last , Smith Greenwood , overlooker to Messrs . Pearson , Bradford Moor , was brought up before the pitting magistrates , charged with ill using Mary Hoyle , a young woman employed in the same factory ; the magistrates gave him a severe reprimand , and , it being the first offence , he was fined in the mitigated penalty of 5 s . and costs . MA . CCX 1 Eat'lilLD , —Tho Corn Law repealers of this town have been put to a very miserable shift . On Sunday , the 14 th of March , the infant scholars belonging to the Primitive Methodists ' Sunday School , were actually compelled to sign a petition for the repeal of the Cora Law , and the teachers , male and female , signed for those who cou'd not writ their names .

      SUNDEXULAND . —Tailors' Strike . —Tftis intelligent and patriotic body of men have not yet got tbe dispute settled with their masters , or rather with those three or four masters in Sunderland , who have conspired to crash the Society , and bring down the condition of the workmen ; but we are glad to state that there is not the slightest disposition upon the part of the men to submit to this : to avoid it , many have left the town , their wives and families being supported most liberally by those iu employment . The majority of the masters having

      made no abatement , and being , in fact , opposed to the mean conduct of the few great employers , who have exhibited bo much littleness Of soul , there is no doubt that the men will succeed in their efforts to resist the proposed profit-hunting reduction . The men are reluctant to appeal for aid , although they have ever been amongst the first to render it ; but we trust that the spirit which has dictated this reluctance will be rightly appreciated by their brethren , and elicit that spontaneous support which they so well deserve .

      BINGUET 7 . —Public Meeting on the New Poor Law . —A public meeting , in compliance with a requisition , was convened at this place , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament , for the repeal of this obnoxious measure ; or that otherwise the power might be vested in the Guardians , instead of tbe Poor Law Commissioners . The meeting was called for the 20 th instant , at two o ' clock , at which very few persons were present . After some time . it was moved and seconded that Mr . Farrand do take the chair , which he immediately did , without waiting for the consent of those assembled . After some remarks , expressive of his regret that the meeting was not more numerously attended , the Chairman sat down , and Mr . Tipping , a working man , requested permission to address the chair , which was refused , with the remark , that he would not be heard at all ; it was not his turn . Some high words passed between the parties , Mr .

      T . not feeling disposed to be put down , and the chairman talking about committing him to the care of the constable , and finding that to be of non-effect he talked again of instituting a law suit . All would not do ; Mr . T . intimated that he cared as little for his law , as he did for himself . A resolution was moved and seconded , to which Mr . Tipping moved an amendment , but the chairman refused to put it , but said the mover might second any of the resolutions proposed , and address the meeting , which , of course , he refused to do on such conditions . The object of Mr . T . was to get the meeting adjourned to a time when the workpeople could attend , but this was evidently contrary to the design of the patriots who had convened the meeting . The Chairman , if he expects to become popular , must manage his public conduct in rather a more courteous spirit than that which he evinc « d at the above meeting .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE COliLlERY DISTRICTS OF THE COUNTY OF DURHAM . Mr Friends , —I am very relnctantly compelled t » remind you , or those of you who are purchasers of the Star , tbat it is impossible for me to be able to aend you papers unless J receive pay for them . I now want between £ 40 and £ 50 from various parties for the Star , supplied amongst the collieries , a sum of money which a moment's reflection must Batisfy you , I eannet and ought not to be required to want . Without any prospect of gain , nay , with the certainty of some less , Mr . Binns and myself have continued to send the Slar through all your districts , by mean » which ensured it to you in the most remote districts , with promptitude , regularity , and no additional cost The commission of ^ d . allowed to agents , the carriage of parcels , which we always pay , the loss by miscarriage which will occasionally happen , and tie returned papers -which we have hitherto , necessarily absorb all profit ; but when in addition to this we are required to go frequently from

      home , at considerable expence and sacrifice of time , to collect the money dne to us , ? nd too frequently cannot get that , it is " really too bad , " and must be mended Several of tbe agents hare been most punctual , others sot so . those blame you for not paying them ; if tbia be the result of negligence , I trust that this simple and painful statement will lead to reform . You must know that Mr . O'Connor cannot publish the Star unless the agents pay punctually ; the latter cannot do this unless you do so also ; therefore the publication and prosperity of that unequalled organ of your wants and interests depends upon yourselves . Remember that no agent can get the portrait from tho office unless arrears be paid , ner can you expect them to be delivered until you likewise da your duty . Should this not be done , I shall be compelled , in some cases , to stop the papers , but hope that these toiU and statements will render that unnecessary , I an , joBuJferthfully , ^ 11 . ¦' . . - _ -ri-v > . t .

      PETITION OF THE BIRMINGHAM ! CHRISTIAN CHARTIST CHURCH , FOR THE RELEASE OF MR . H . HETHERINGTON . To the Honourable the Commmt » ef Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament assembled , The Petition of the Members of the Christian Chartist Church , BiminRham , Humbly Shhwkth , —That your petitioners vievr with regret and indignation the imprisonment of Mr . Henry Hetherington , upon the charge of publishing blasphemous letters . They b » d hoped that the age of intolerant persecution , for opinion ' s sake , hadlonggone by . Your petitioners highly disapprove of the matter contained in the letters , but they have full

      confidence iu the intrinsic excellence of the principles of Christianity , and of their complete power to gtua an entrance into every heart ; and , therefore , they feel indignant at the assumption that these principles require any assistance from the Government , or that those who believe not in them should be persecuted . Your petitioners fear nothing from tbe opposition of infidelity , unless it be the practical infidelity of those , who , for "filthy lucre ' s sake , " profess to be the friends of religion . They believe that reason and kindness are the only weapons which Christianity requires for its defence ; and that the iron hand of vindictive law must injure it ia the eyes of the ignorant and unbelieving , since it forces into existence a character that , under any cause , commands esteem and sympathy—viz . a martyr . They

      cannot but feel deep Borrow that the " powers that be" are so wanting in the true "faith , as to conceive that a religion of truth requires the aid of the dungeon to protect it They cannot help seeing a glaring inconsistency in punishing the blasphemy contained in a few letters , while a far greater blasphemy is every hour committed in the wars and plundering ^ of those whose most common words are "Peace , lore , and indifference to temporalities . " Your petitioners , therefore , pray , that your Honourable House would memorialise her Majesty , to release the said Henry Hetherington ; and that you will also take immediate steps to abolish all laws inflicting paias and penalties for opinion ' s sake . And your petitioners will ever pray . &e .

      Signed , on behalf of the Church ,
