      X « EEDS . —Child Lost . —A poor woman came to our officer on Thursday morning , of the name of Bridget Wallis , who states that about twenty weeks ago a boy of hers , named James Wallis , aged ten years , left his home , and she has never been able to hear of him since , although she has travelled all the neighbourhood for thirty miles round , and in consequence of which she ia in great distress of mind . The boy is a fins chubby lad , with light hair and grey eyes . He had on when he left home—narrow cord trousers , and brown cloth jacket , a good deal decayed : he was barefooted . He has a mark under his right eye , which he received by a fall when learning to . walk , and by which he may be easily known . The mother is a widow , and very poor : she thinks it is likely that he may have gone off , or been taken up by a party cf beggars . Any information sent to this office will be thankfully received , and handed to the afflicted parent .

      The Distressed Poor . —Yesterday , at noon , a meeting convened by circular from the Mayor of Leeds , to take into consideration the distress which is now so prevalent , with the view of raising a subscription , and adopting other measures for tke relief of the unemployed poor , was held at the Court-House . Prior to commencing publicly the business , a private meeting to arrange details , was held in a committee-room up-stairs , from whence , at half-past twelve o ' clock , the party adjourned into the Hall , where the public had already asseabled—that publio consisting exclusively of the men in the night police , who ( on this occasion ) had been specially ordered to be in readiness to receive their wages at eleven

      o ' clock , in plain clothes , the general order being that they should attend in their great-coats and police hats . Here they were , however , jn the body of the Hall , and with Sergeant Snow in the centre box S 3 fuglemen , nobly did their duty in unanimously passing all resolutions , and applauding the speakers . Of course , the / only went " by order . " On the Bench were a number of the leading gentlemen in the town , and on the motion of William Beckett , Esq ., M . P ., the Mayor took the chair , and apologised for the absenceof severalgentlemen whose presence had been expected . Mr . Beckett moved the first resolution , which was seconded by the Rev Dr . Hook , Yicar , in a speech in every way

      honourable to ht 3 feelings as a clergyman and a gentleman . The resolutions will be found in our advertising columns . The subsequent ones were moved and seconded by Mr . Baines , Mr . J . G . Marshall , Mr , Alderman Tottfe , -Mr . J . R . Atkinson , Mr . John Qott , the Rev . W . Sinclair , the Rev . T . Scales , the Rev . . John Bowers , Mr , Henry Hall , Mr . Thomas Benyon , Mr . James Brown , and-Mr . Hey ; and the whole having been gone through , the Mayor vacated the chair , which was taken by the Yicar . Thanks were then , on the motion of Mr . Beckett , seconded by Mr . John Clapham , accorded to the Mayor , and the meeting broke up at half-past one . We do not profess to be in the secret of those by

      whom under the direction of the Mayor the circulars calling this meeting were sent , —we cau guess only to whom they were addressed ; we know that one of those circulars was not sent to the Star office , and we have prima facia evidence that another newspaper , at least , ia the town , was also unapprised of the i meeting , for the reporter for that paper knew nothing of it at twelve o ' clock , the hour for which the meeting was cabled . We should like to knew why such an omission was made ; we should like to know by what species of nightmare the chief magistrate "was haunted that he could not keep hi 3 warm bed on the previous night , but must order oat his horse and gig at the "

      witching hou . r to po .-t to _^ eeds , to give orders for the whole of the night police staff to parade at eleven o ' clock , in plain clothes ; we should like to be informed why all these men , Berjeants and privates , were placed in the body of the Court House , at twelve o ' clock ; and we should like to know why the inhabitants generally , and the poor particularly , who are deeply interested in the question , were not invited—wfty , in fact , the meeting was not called by public placard instead of private circular . The Mayor , probably , loves to do good by stealth—an inference deducible , certainly , from his midnight visit ; but in our humble opinion it would have been much better to have given all classes an opportunity of uniting , and of enjoying " the luxury of doing good . " We find no fault with the object

      of the meeting , that was laudable— -was humane ; we war only with the pla-a ou ¦ whica it was ccndHcted—with the principle that a body of men in the employ and pay of the town should be placed by the Mayor in the Hall to applaud his speech , and to hold up-both hands in affirmation of all Mb propositionsand this to be called a '" public meeting ef the inhabitants , " while the door leading from the prison yard to the body of the Hal ] , through which the public are admitted : was not opened to the pnblic at ail until after the Mayor had tiken the chair , and not more than some two or three persons who happened by chance to hear of the affair , entered when the doors were opened ; consequently the police in plain clothes had it all their own way—and most admirably did they follow the signs of their fugleman .

      CotfKr or Queex s Besch . —In Michaelmas Term last , a rale was obtained , requiring Messrs . Pickles and Anderson , to show cause why a Mandamus should not issue against them , as Chapelwardens for the Township of Wilsdeu , to assess aud p 3 y £ 13 12 * . 6 d . a moiety of the proportion payable by the tetvnshipsof Wilsden and Allerton , inaid of the entire rate laid on the 14 th May , 1841 , by a minority of the parishioners cf Bradford present at a vestry meeting then held . The Solicitor General , Mr . Talbot Biines and Mr . Ellis , showed cause against the granting of the Mandamus . Mr . Cresswell , and Mr . Tomlin = on in support of the rule . After hearing the arguments , the Court discharged the rule with costs , on the ground that the demand lay against the townships of Wilsden and Allerton conjointly , while the present application regarded only Wilsden .

      Fatal Accidekt . —On Tuesday , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John B ackburn , Esq ., on the body of George Howden , 23 years of age , a smith in the employ of Messrs . Fenton , Murray , and Jackson , of Leeds , engineers , and manufac-. urers of locomotive engines . The deceased was employed on Saturday last on a large engine ¦ wheel , which weighed one ton , and , for the convenience of placing it in the fire , and turning it round , he had it suspended to a crane , some part of which

      failed , owing to the wei&ht of " the wheel , and the whole came down together , crushing Howden between the wheel and the work bench . He was removed to the iDfirmary , where every attention was paid to him , and where he died ; on Monday he wa 3 quite . sensible , ana attributed the whole to an accident . It was shown © n the inquest that the deceased had received orders to have the crane inspected and repaired , but , that in defiance of this , he tuspended the wheel to the machinery , and the result has been his death . Verdict— " Accidental death . "

      DEWSBXTR * . —The Short Time Committee of Dswsbury assembled on Thursday evening fost , when the scurrility hurled by the discomfittea Whigs at the deputation was taken under consideration , and the slanderous reptiles were deservedly castigated . Bef < Jre separating , the following resolution was unanimously agreed to : — " That having seen it represented in the Whig papers that the deputation were not the representatives of the working classes , we the Shore Time Committee of Dewsbury , hereby declare they were duly appointed by us , and that we defy the Whig scribes to substantiate their vituperation ; and we also declare our satisfaction at the very able manner in which Messrs . Crabtree and Brook have discharged their trust , for which our thanks are now given . " —George Hainsworth , chairman ; George Hushforth , secretary . —^ —

The O'Brien Press Fund Committee are earnestly requested to assemble at the Dispatch Coffee House , Bride-lane , Fleet-street , on Monday evening next , at eiftht o'clock , business of importance demanding their particblar attention . Mr . Editos , —Here is a receipt which one of your readers has given me , requesting me to get it in the Star , if possible , because of its usefulness : —A receipt for a Cough , or AsthmatiG Cough , or Consumptive Cough . —Tincture of 'iiller , Friar ' s Balsam , Paregoric , Syrup of Poppy , Syrup of Squills , Syrup of Coltsfoot , of each half an ounce .

      Progkes or Repeal . —Well , Repealers , great and small , at the Corn Exchange ! how prospers the cause ! Indifferently , we know you must reply , and should you say anything else , we would not take your word . The rent is down to fifty-seven pounds , while you are aware it requires one hundred pouude a-week to keep the doors open—and has it come to this ! after the marchings and counter-marchings of the indefatigable Tom Reynolds , who was sent through the country to get up the steam . Was it for this you have been wandering , provident Tom Mooney , through America , —and though all connexion with you was disclaimed , still kept picking up the Yankee dollars , and after , we presume , deductingadecent commission , sent the remnant over to assist us in procuring a domestic legislature ? What

      is Tom Steel about ? we trust he is whipping up the lazy Wardens in the Provinces—yet h > a stienee looks ominous . We fear that Repeal will soon be a bad word with which to conjure . Should there be any who wish to ascertain the cause of this decline in popular ardour , let them read the confession of Mr . i-alor . He declared the other day what we have bo often stated , that there are thousands of Repealers in the land who would shrink from associating themselves with the majority of the patriots who flock to the Corn Exchange . There you will neither meet with consistency aor sincerity . One day the champions of domestic legislation unfurl the Repeal standard , and promise never to rest satisfied until the cause be triumphant ; while upon another we discover them busily employed in endeavouring to secure the election of an anti-Repealer . —World .

      The latk Railway Accident . —As several of the late railway suffererers are readers of the Star , we insert the following statement to save them from disappointment : — To ihe Editor of the Timet . —Sir , haring seen it stated in several newspapers , and in yours among the rest , that the deodand lately awarded against the Great Western Railway Company is about to be paid to me , as Lord of the Manor of Sonmng , and moreover , that it is my intention to divide it in certain portions among the sufferers , by the late calmanity , or their relatives , may I beg the favour of your contradicting such statements , which are only calculated to create disappointment among

      tiose who may think themselves entitled to consideration in consequence of their misfortune from several of whose friends I have already received applications setting forth their particular claims to my attention . Whether the deodand belongs to me , as Lord of the Manor , may be questionable ; but knowing that it is the intention of the Compaay to resist the payment , it iB , at all events , premature to Btate that it is about to be paid to me , and still worse to specify the manner in which it is to be appropriated . I beg to say that any statements which you may have heard relative to this subjeot , are altogether unauthorised by mo . I remain your obedient servant , Robert Palmer .

      TO THE CHARTISTS OF YORKSHIRE . Brother Democrats , —You are aware that for many weeks past nay name 1 ms atood in the list of nominations to represent your county in the forthcoming Convention . I write this to announce my withdrawal from the election , for the following reasons : — With every desire to serve my country , I have no factious ambition to fill the post which an ablet man might be found to occupy . At the time I was put in nomination by the men of Dewibury , I told my friends th&t if eleoted to represent them , I would , no m&tttr the labour or the h&aard , do my utmost to serve them but , if others could be found more fitted than myself

      for the office , I would cheerfully make way for them , rejoicing that Yorkshire had abler men than myself to represent her in the People ' s Parliament . Siace tbat time a number of persona have been nominate . ! , and ameng them aru patriots whom I highly esteem for their sterling honesty and unpurchaseable worth . I deem it of great importance that m , many as possible of our talented and provod-honeat Vftders should sit in the next Convention , and sorry should I be to stand in the way of a single vota being given for such men as Pitkethly , Binns , West , and others who staod on the list ; as Each , I have determined to withdraw , heping that in my own locality I may be in the future , as I flatter myself I have been in the past , of Borne little service to the cause .

      I must return my thanks , which I do most heartily , to the gallent men of Dewsbury , for the honour they did me in putting me in nomination . I assure them I feel deeply their kindness , the more especially as to have the confidence of such men—men who never betrayed the cause—men always in the van of the movement—is indeed to be honoured ! To my friends of Sheffield who have stood by me , despite the roar of faction , and the machinations of my enemies , I tender my sincere thanks ; as I do to the men of Hebden Bridge , and other places ¦ where I have been nominated .

      Let it not be supposed tbat I fear the toil , or shrink from the danger of a seat in the Convention ; my past career will testify tbat I heed not toil when duty calls . As to danger , I confess 1 do not see any immediate prospect of that ; if I saw more of danger than 1 do see at the present moment , I should be the more eager to serve the people , for in proportion to the threatened danger would be my hopes of a speedy reckoning between the oppressed and tbe oppressor . I am , brother Democrats , Faithfully and devotedly yours ,

Wakley , in the board-room of the Hendon Union Workhouse , on view of the body of John Catlin , upwards of eighty years of age , an inmate of that workhouse . The death , it appears , took place suddenly , and under circumstances which induced the relatives to apply to t . ' ie coroner for an inquiry , the body being found by the sous of the deceased at the workhouse in a state of the most perfect emaciation , with a

      superficial wound on the forehead , and a bruise on the arm . The Coronor having also received notice of the death from the constable of Hendon , sent an order to Mr . Foote , surgeon , of Edgware , to make a post mortem examination of the body , and issued his warrant for the summoning a jury to meet at the workhouse , which was done ; and our reporter has learned that the following circumstances occurred to the coroner on his arrival at the gates of that building , at twelve o'clock on Friday , to hold the inquest : —

      lu the high road , when about to alight from his carriage , Mr . Wakley found Mr . Tooteil , the solicitor , of Edgware , and cltrk to the Board of Guardians ot the Hendon Union , waiting in his gig , to announce to him that he must proceed to an inn on the London Road , some distance from the Workhouse , to hold the inquiry , as the Jury had been directed that morning to assemble there infctead of at the Workhouse , and that : he corouer would there also find the constable . The Coroner expressed his astonishment at this proceeding , and inquired the cause . Mr . Tooteil replied-, that the Guardians refused to allow any more inquests to be held in the Workhouse . The Coroner asked Mr . Tooteil if that had been done by tis advice I Mr . Tooteil begged not to be pressed to answer that outslion .

      The Coroner said that Eurely Mr . Tooteil , as a lawyer , must bo aware the Coroner was bound to hold his inquest super wisum corporis , and that he could en orcehis power of entering anyplace whure the body might lie , in order to fulfil the aemaoads of the law . Mr . Tooteil replied that that might be quite true , as regarded the Coroner and Jury being admitted to seethe body , bu : that they must then immediately depart and hold the inquest somewhere else . Such Were the directions of the Board of Guardians , and any attempt on the part of the Coroner to enter tbe building , there to hold the it quest , would be resisted , and the doors barred against him . But perhaps ( he added ) the Coroner would not hold tbe inquest at all , if he previously saw Mr . Foote , and heard what he had found on opening the body .

      The Coroner again expressed his amazement at what he had heard . Not a syllable of this proceeding , on the part of the Guardians , had been communicated to him before , and he was first destined to hear of it in a parley in the high road . Putting aside- all other considerations , the very want of courtesy to him was remarkable . He should ke extremely sorry to resort to force , bat he was determined that the power of his office and the interests of the poor should not suffer in his person , and that if the entry of the Coroner and the Jury were opposed , he should at once call iu the aid of the police , and , with the assistance of a sledge-hammer from EJgwsre , he doubted not he should speedily obtain the required admission . - Mr . Tooteil , apparently much surprised , said , — -Asseredly yon will not xesort to violent means ! The Coroner , —Upon my hoBOur I will . Mr . Tootdl , —No , no ; certainly you don't me » n that .

      The Coroner , —Upon my honour I will . You aee , Mr . Tooteil , if the Guardians have ^ the power to enforce such ai resolution as you ^ say they have passed , they might be enabled to conceal the body of a person who had been murdered from the view of an inquest jury , and thus reduce the office o ; coroner to a complete nullity . Nothing shall prevent me from holding the inquest in the workhouse . The coroner then alighted from his carriage , and haying requested Mr . Mills , his secretary , to proceed to the ina and obtain the immediate attendance of the jury at the workhouse , went through the gates to the / front door , / where he was admitted . Two of the jurymen had at that juncture just arrived at the workhouse , and pointed out to the

      porter that they bad been summoned for that place by direction of the coroner ^ and complained with much vexation at their being expected to go on such a day , or at any other ; . time , ' from a building that beloiiged to the rate-payers toi- ' a distant house , ^ when the body was in the workhouse . In a short time sixteen jurymen were in attendance in the hall , the remainder having arrived from the inn with the constable , who placed now for the first time before the coroner the copy of the resolution of the board of Guardians , which had been given the constable on the previous evening , with an order from the Guardians that he should alter his summonses to this jurymen , and assemble them at the inn , instead of at the workhouse . ¦¦¦'•¦"

      The jury , one and all , expressed their gratification at the intention of the coroner , and agreed that they had never heard of a more scandalous proceeding than the attempt to exclude them from their own building on such an occasion . . ' : ' ' ]¦' Mr . Tooteil here sent for the Rev . Mr . Mutter , one of the guardians , on whose arrival the party were still remaining in the hall : and lodge below . The Coroner , addressing Mr . Mutter , pointed out to the reverend gentleman the extraordinary position in whtoh he had been placed , and concluded by saying to him , "I have now obtained admission into the promise ? , and here I shall remain to hold my inquest , and if you or your officers cannot find a suitable place for the jury to assemble in , 1 will see

      what I can do myself . " - No steps being taken to find such a room , the coroner left the hall , followed by the jury , and prooeeded upstairs to the door of the board-room , which he found locked . The Rev . MritMutter having also followed him , wished to know whether he was quite resolved to find a room on the premises for the inquest , and on the coroner once more repeating that he certainly was , the key of the board-room was produced , and tho coroner and jury admitted . The Coroner then asked if any of those who had received summonses to attend as jury men were connected with the union , as persons m any way

      depending ou the pleasure of tho guardians or as officers of the parish ! Three proved themselves , by acknowledgment , to be so circumstanced . One of the overseers , the maker of coffins for the paupers , and the baker . The Coroner said that it would be better , therefore ; that they should sit apart , and then the remaining thirteen were sworn in the usual manner , and proceeded to view the bodyv which was a perfect skeleton , and looked starved . A long discussion took place as to what occurred on a former occasion , and the inquiry was proceeded with , but presented no features of publio interest . ¦ ¦'¦ . ¦ ¦' ..

      Tne Jury returned a verdict that"John Catlin died from effusion of serum oh the brain , produoed by a natural cause . " . _ _ _ ^ _ _ _ . _

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . SlR , ^ Wehave learned with much regret the resolution of the Convention regarding tho petition promalgated by the English Executive . That they ought to have consulted the Central Committee , no one on this aide of the Tweed can for a moment doubt ; there was a want of coujtesy and consideration in their conduct on this OCCaslOn . '• : ; v . ; S' : [¦ . ' . ;¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ " : ' :. ¦ ¦ ; . " / ' ~' - : ' ¦ - Yet much may be aaM in defence of the petitlbn itself ; in the agricultural districts , scores of thousands of the Scotch do not know the meaning of the Charter , and the introduction of the clause about the Poor Laws La in a language they must all fool . The same may be said of tixe Iiiah , and" the fact of the people of Great Britain petitioning for a Repeal of the Union , will go far to shake their coaMence la -: the tying assertion * ot the - ' « Modem Makanna , " ¦ _ ¦

      I have to state in the name of the Leith Charter Asso ciation , that the National Petition was adopted hereby a numerous public meeting duly called to consider it . — That more recently' in public meeting' a resolution was passed , appointing Mr . Robert Lowery our delegate , and recommending the unanimous adoption of the petition by ' -tiie ; people of Scotland . We haVe been actively engaged in getting 8 . gnatureB for the petition , and we cannot with any consistency rescind pur former resoiutiona and commence the work anew . We are truly sorry that this schism should have occurred—the two fictions , equally our mortal enemies

      must rejoice at it The Convention new sitting ought to have been called immediately after the promulgation of the petition , before any steps had be « n taken on our part , or the part of others , to give it effect by our signatures ; had this been done the casa would have been greatly different . / We are aware that the Chatter can stand on its own foundation ; bat , however much we may regret the extraneous matter contained ia the petition , we cannot consent , at the mandate of a ^ maU majority , to adopt another at a period so near the meeting of the middleclass Parliament

      I remain , Yours , very truly , . Jas . Pbtrie , Secretary , Local Chatter Association . Mr J . Duncan , Chairman of the Scottish Convention . Loith , 15 tU January , 1842 .

SIR ,--If yoa will have the kindne * jQ insert the following in your valuable . ; and widely / oirculaled Journal , you will math oblige tho unfortunate and distressed George BlaokyofifoitiDghMO . : - In the Northern Star , * week or two ago , it tvaa stated tha . I had been at Newport , and that I would be thero again the following Sunday , if possible . Ik is a truth when I say I had to put myself about vaqr much to do so . But ever willing , as far as roy abilities will illow , to do all I can to advance the cause , I came to Newport , and on Monday morning I left and went for Pohty pool , and at seven o ' clock on Taesday morning , feeling for my purees which I

      had not wanted on Monday , and I had not got it . I cannot describe my feelings to any person . Diligent search was made on the bed and it the room , but in vain . I then returned to Newport , in the hope ihat I should hear something of it there . Bviti ; all in vain . I have searched and made every enquiry pos _ . ible , but of no use ; and my future progpect now is a deplorable one , having lost a little under or over thirteen pounds lam miserable ; because the tViead who has let me have nearly twenty pouuds' worth of goods I cannot pay , and therefore cannot have more . I am suH more wretched when I think of the great suiferinjE ! 8 and the misery of th « generality if my fello'iv-sufferers . ' I never have imposed upon th « publio . I have no desire to do so . It is with tcraal

      reluctance I ask for aid , but my present situa ; ion obliges mo . I hope those whose circumstanoes will allow them to spare a small trifle , will not con . ider me insultiDg or imposing uponxhem . It is has often been said , " Many can . help one when pne cannot help a many . '' If the lovers of liberty will help me out of my difficulties at this time , I shall cerf a inly feelgceatly indebted to them , and I hope you will find me ever ready to return such a favour to ai \ y of you who may be placed in similar circumataujc-s .. I ought , and I intended to have been , by this time , with the person I have my goods of , and paid him , and had more . Bat instead of this , 1 have towaii until I see whether or no there be any proapt-ct of paying him , so that I hope-you will give it insertion in your next number . "

      I have offered , in this neighbourhood , three poanda 6 ut of it , if any person would deliver it up , Who-6 var haa got it is obliged to know whose it is , because there are two tickets in the purse with my namo oa . them / . - . / - ¦ ' .. .

      DOrNGS OF THB PLAGUE . Mr . Editor , —It may not be amiss , in tho absence of more important matter , to give your numerous readers another instance of the dirty work practised by the plenty-to-do clique . The muck-splutters are at present hawking sheets through the factories in this neighbourhood , unto which they obtain signatures in the following manner : —

      A pair of fellows enter the yard , and inquire for the overlooker , who , as if by iristinot , knows their errand and his duty . The trio enter the place with a busy air , unfolding their scraps , the whipper-in looks ronnd with an inviting expression of his usually strap-threateain ? countenance ; the poor system-made slaves , ever glad to snatch a moment on any pretence , soon crowd round , when the following colloquy takes place ;—Loafy—What is your name ? Dick , said a young urchin , who is able and old enough to toil for his machinery-8 uperseded-father ; because he got a certificate . ¦ '• ¦ ' ¦ ' ¦ . ' .... .. ¦

      Loafy ( interrupting ) Richard what ?—Botbamle , was the answer . Richard Bottomley is appended ; another name is mentioned , down it goes , and so on till every person's name is put on the list ; in many casea without even their sanction . This proceeding I was eye-witness to , and upon remonstrating on this shameful manner of getting up a petition , I was told Dick posseJised intelligence sufficient If he could tell when he Was hungry ! And tfils will be paraded as containing the wishes of a large portion of intelligent working men ; out upon suchyillany ; when a party comes to this , they must be on their last pins .
