      TO TEE COAL MINERS OF ENGLAND , SCOTLAND , JLNI > WAiESl rELWff SLATES . —No human being can any k > ngw doxftl that ue are groaning under oneof the most smnsh systems that ever existed under the sun ; let us , therefore , firmly resolve to unite ourselves isto one jmd society Jar the purpose of ' ^ ieThl ? £ nr 6 elveL ? 0 ^ fc ^? dire oppression of the Coal Pit Kings .

We are determined not to be go&aed on in the manner we have been , to strangle our Booety in it * infancy by a premature stale . Such a measure at this time -would be only satisfying the BonTa desire of oar oppressors -without accomplishing anything beneficial to us , but , on the contrary , swamp tie -wholesome embryo of a union that , "by jadidous management , -will ere long make the tyrants tremble at their o -wnimbedlity . They are not content -with robbing the poor pit slaves of the Tyne and Wear of £ 50 , 000 ; but Skey -are fining them for Qie most trivial * alleged cffenceB , so that sometimes a collier -irhen"he feu -performed a hard Gsfa -work , finds

      himself in debt at night . In some of tb * bonds there are seventeen clauses subjecting the ™ fog » to a fine of 2 s . 6 d- It 5 b impossible for any man to steer dear of them alL When his corye comes to bank if it does not please , they can fine the tewet ^ e . 63 . or 7 a . sstbey may thmk proper .

      PeHdw-men , be determined!—do not be apathetic any longer ; and , spaniel-like , lick the hand that smites you , If you "will join us , no power on earth can pre-Tent us from getting our lights . We have only to agree smongst onrselTes upon s plan to pursues JI ire do not hel ? ourselves , -we cannot expect other people to help us .

      10 THS SDIXOB OF IHE SOBTHEaS STAB . j Deas Six , —There is now some hope that the agita- i Son for the Peopled Gharter will , erelong , "be brought j to a successful close . A « ry is now raised through the | land by the workies for some practical measure to be j connected "with our movement—something thit will , | Trtulst they are struggling for the Charter , bentfit their i condition , and prove to the Government and those ' Trho are opposed to our principles , that the people have , at last arrived to that state of political knowledge that , they have found out the highway that leads to the city , CT freedom , and which it ia impossible for the Govern- 1 xnent to block np . The cry is for the Lj _ sd , the Laxd , the Lasd i and , so eager are they to get it , that it is ' aov the only topic of cos-rersatioii . :

      The letters and lectures of Mr . O'Connor haTe had i magie effect in producing this mighty change in the , public mind , together with the articles and letters > ¦ which has of late appeared in that valnible organ ef the people ' s , the Northern Star . The question now is , ; low are we to get It ? This question may be answered in many waysr ; and how should it be allotted out ? Mr . Editor , I would beg leave to suggest one plan , and leave it in the hands of the people to be improved ¦ tcpon . " Supposing we had 100 , 000 Chartists thati "Would subscribe threepence per week . That , I be- ! lieve , would amount to £ 1 , 250 weekly , or . £ 65 , 000

      annually , for the purpose either of purchasing the land , or taking it upon a long lease . We will suppose the latter , that we take 1000 acres of land upon a lease of ninety years . I would dmde 700 acres into small farms of five acres each , that would make 140 farms . I would build 140 cottages , so that each family might inhabit ita own dwelling . I would build a public kitchen and dining-room , so that all the cooking slight be performed at once , and by that means save a great amonnt'of trouble ; and in order that a brotheriy feeling might be cultivated amongst them , they should all dine together in one room .

      A school and ! library should be established , and a first-rate teacher or teachers engaged to educate tbe young , and , at stated timts , instruct the adults . A lectnre loom zboald also be erected , in is-nich lectures should bs ddiTered at certain periods upon different auhj&cts . The cottages and dining-room should be so Tmilfc , that the families should in wei weather bs enabled to go to the dining-room under cover . J « ow , lo pay the salaries of the schoolmaster * , lecturers , & , c , the 300 acres that is left from 700 , should be cultivated by the U 0 farmers npon the estate for nothing , and tbe produce of the 300 acres should be sold to ciear the expences above stated . The society to be enrolled under Act of Parliszatnt , and the officers to be elected by the whate body of subscribers . — Ths expeiiees for establishing the farms we ¦ will suppose to be as follow : —Building 140 cottages , £ 60 each , £ 8 , 40 d ; £ 50 for stocking &ch farm ,

      * c , j £ 7 , 000 ; £ 40 for each family to live upon until the Sxsi . crop fee produced , £ 5 600 ; bni ' . ding dining-room , kitchen , * chool , and leetjrre-rsom £ 1 500 ; library £ 100 . This wonld Amount to £ 22 , 600 . Thus ycu ste nearly 3 , 800 Ecres of laid ceuld be taken and stocked e-rery year , and 420 families could be amply provided for , and a large number of Chartists employed-in the building of cottages , and also the msMng of f nrnitnr « , ate .: ana in order to take more farms , or lo spread , the agitation , or raise fonds for any pnrpoee the society might think fit , each man Bhculd psy £ 6 for rent per year , and the first yeart farms would bring in as rent the aum of £ 2 , 520 . By this means an education would be secured to the people , their circumstances bettered , labour mad e more plentiful , a home trade created , and the people in a short time made independent of the ¦ whi te slave-driver who has driven thousands to a premature grave .

      Sir , if you think this worthy of insertion , yon -will oblige me by inserting it . 3 bsve taken the feint you gave iist week : I havein tome things been brief- . 1 am afraid , been too much so .

We must no longer leave our members to tbe tender . mercies of prejudiced employers , tyrant landlords , and money-grabbing shopkeepers ; but endeavour to unite them in one great National Benefit Society , having for its object their protection against forced idleness , and consequent poverty , tyrant task-masters , and their masters , the tyranny of magistrates , and the Government , for locating our members upon the land , or otherwise profitably employing them , and by all these means , an <^ the increased power it will invest iis with , being brought continually to bear upon the ruling faction , comptl them to accede to the demand of the people for their long withheld political rights , by the er ^ ament of the People's Charter .

      Having once made a movement npen tbe L&k 3 , we could Boon avail ourselves of the most ta- prdved machinery ( some of which will , no doubt , be . {< n sale at any price in a few years , ) and become a party in point of wealth , upon on equal footing witk tbe boasting manufacturers . But my fellows , —A weitamnged 'National Benefit Society is the only plan that will thoroughly meet our present wants and -wishes . I therefore beg of you te give this subject your whole study ; and I would beg respectfully to suggest to our zealoos , untiring chieftain , the necessity of making his plan a National Benefit

      Society , embodying all the objects I have above named , that we may not have many funds , and many calls upon the people , bnt ene fund for Hie several purposes , one set of officers , one set of collectors ; this will oonduce to the expedition of business ; our General Secretary , if he be a man of business , a man who will work , he can , ¦ with a little help frem the Executive Committee , or Council , perform the duties of such a secretary , which would be consistent with economy ; our lecturers , too , coold advocate the whole plan as easily aa a part ; and I doubt not , when socb a plan is agreed upon at a Convention elected by the people , that the millions would quickly enrol ] themselves under it Gracchus .

      THE GOVERNMENT FACTORY BILL . Ik tha early part of tbe discussion on this most important measure , a daily contemporary , by no means remarkable for his delicacy of opposition to to the measures generally of the present Government , or for Mb hesitancy in denouncing every thing of Tory origin aa compared with Whig productions , because so satisfied of the importance of this measure to the real interests of the country , that ,

      after reviewing the opposition it was likely to encounter from the fanaticism of High Church , on the one hand , and of dissent on the other , he concluded by expressing Mb hope that , if these two mischievous parties could not be induced to lay aside in some degree their folly , all moderate and rational men would at once come to the aid of Government and take the Bill in its present shape rather than not have it at all . We are most happy to see this excellent advice to some extent acted acted on ; though not , we think , so largely

      as it onght to be . Hitherto whenever the people en mas'e have been appealed . to , and have spoken on the matter , they have held the language of rationality and sense . They have pointed out to the Government the objectionable parts of the Bill and have suggested the means of it being made ; fair and equi able ; but they have not , like Mr . E . Baines Jun _ , come to the conclusion , that the one thins TO BE AIMED AT IS MOTTO AMEND THE BILL , BUT TO g et kid of it . TMb is the style of oratory of a few

      of Neddy ' s patrons among the tub-thumpers . They have doubtless bad their commands from the green-enrtained pews j and Nbddt takes his cue in all readiness and reverence . His lectures are dealt out with an impartialness that does him credit . First , Lord Whabncliffe is honoured by his Braying , Dext The Parents of Sunday School Children , and now tbe Rev . Dr . Reed is condescendingly admitted to a share of his benign notice . Nkddt is absolutely in fits and agonies about Lord John Russell ' s resolutions . Sir James Ghaham

      and the Times might have been excused for their impertinence in presuming to thrust education on the people . But for Lord Johnthe -rery breath of Whig nostrils—to play this shabby game ! to give notice of resolutions which must expose , in all its nakedneBS , the filthy character of the dissenting Mercurial opposition ! For Lord John to do this ! To take tbe Tory serpent by the tail , and exhibit it—a very rod of Aaron ! And to do so without leave asked , either of Neddy or the tub-thumpers ! Oh 1 horrible ! naughty , naughty , Lord John J O , fie !

      Do hut hear how virtuously Neddy does rebuke the peccant Lord ; see how he flourishes the birch as it descends upon his soble breech : — " The danger is extreme . And where , in these circumstances , lies our only hope 1 It lies in raion the most perfeet , &od in iFFOar the mottunceadag , among all the friends of religious liberty . " Now , nothing can be conceived more calculated to destroy that union , and to put an end to that tfibrt , than Lord Joha Russell's resolutions . Aye , and paradoxical as it may sound , their danger is just in proportion to their merit . "

      . ' ] Faith ! Nkddt , there ' s nothing paradoxical at all . in it . The rotten cause of Mammon to which yon and your crew are all devoted can never suffer from anything but merit ; save so far as the suicidal consequences of your own actB visit you . There iB merit in Lord John ' s resolutions . They go , if , honestly adopted , to make the Bill everything which an konest aan could wish ; hence your hosulity .

      "The discussion of Lord Jo "Russell ' s Resolutions would divbbt the fnenfig „ £ Religious Liberty from the urgent and "tfwPAsn&i&fe duty of opposing with all their might the ^ ngerons attack ou their liberties involved in ^ James Graham ' s Bill . If thiB were a light ro- y ^ I would make a comparison which our Coup ^ Gentlemen would understand better than tb ' ^ y Tantforstand the principles of Religious Libtr ^ j -jrould say that these Resolutions willhav ^ < j le fianiee g ' Ct aa the trailing of a herrin ' ^ cW « s the-fox ' s track , which baffles the scent of tb » flogs , and perhaps sends them after that Thick , if they come up with it , provea only to be a worthless herring , whilst the real game has made nis escape . "

      How provoking of Lord John ! Thus to foil the scent of the pious " pack" ! and with a herring too ! the wasteful one ; net to think of the soup which might have come from it ! Mark too , how well Neddy knows tbe character of his associates and patrons . The w pack" ! what an admirable idea 1 The hungry curs—howling after their piey , the helpless poor with whom they see another u big dog" preparing to make off . O ! that herring ! ( H ) erring John what cau you think oft ! But Neddy won't take the herring bait . He knows the smell of it , and is not to be caught ; it must be boiUd not frizzled for him : —

      u To suspend our opposition to a plan so incurably bad as Sir James Graham ' s , in order to discuss another so unintelligible as Lord John Russell ' s wou'd be an absolute waste ef time , as well as the sacrifice of an opportunity never to be recalled . " Thus speaks Neddy through his shrewd medium , to the " pack "; while he thus continues his . objurgation of Lord John : — M Lord . John Russell has not en this occasion entitled himself to the confidence of the friends of Religious Liberty—first , becanst he began by au illconsidered : and most unfortunate defence of the GoTemment measure ; and next , because he Beems to intend to graft his own shoot upon their radicaUy vicious stock . '

      Thus , in fact , through two mortal columns of his prison sheet does this unprincipled animal labour to induce the pack" to refuse to have anything at all to do with Lord John Russell ' s resolution , and to persevere in their vociferous rejection of the entire BilL The consequence . of this will be that the resolutions of Lord John , not being backed by the parties whose objections they are supposed to represent , will lose much of that imposing attitude which they might otherwise have taken and will command nothing of the respectful attention from Government which they must otherwise have had .

      They will , in all probability be rejected . The Bill will be ipassed nearly in its present form , and the really honest and conscientious of the Dissenters , together with tbe mass of the rate-payers generally , will have to thank Neddt and the tub-thumpers for any inconveniences to which , in its operation , they may be subjected . Lord John ' s resolutions , aa we have already said —if honestly conoeived and adopted—are sufficient to render the Bill—in this department of it—all that an honest man could wish for . True the first of Lord John ' s resolutions is a little misty .

      He provides for an adequate representation of the rate-payers at the Board of Trustees ; but he does not say exactly what he would consider an adequate representation . We should interpret this to mean tbe election of the whole Board . But in any way let the ratepayers be adequately—fairly —represented , and , on that score , we are BatisSed . He provides also that the Trustees shall elect their own Chairman ; thus doing away with the invidiousness of the respect paid to the clergyman , by making him perpetual chairman : indeed it does not necessarily follow from Lord John ' s resolutions that the clergyman shall be a trustee at alL

      "The third , fourth and fifth of Lord John Rirssel ' s resolutions provide for the religious education of children of Churchmen , Dissenters and Roman Catholics , on principles which would secure to all a large amount of religious instruction without interfering with the peculiar opinions of any . According to this plan , the Holy Scriptures is the authorised version are to be read by and taught in these schools to all Protestant children , whether belonging to the Church or DiBBenters , whilst a special provision is to be made for tbe instruction of Roman Catholic children whose parents object to the reading of the authorised version .

      Nothing can be fairer than this . These resolutions likewise provide that children educated in the schools during the week , shall be allowed on the Sunday to attend any school and aay place Of worship their parents may think fit . And in order that Dissenters , when qualified , may not be excluded from teaching in these schools , they further provide that the religious instruction , except so far as the reading of the Sacred Soriptures is conoerned , shall be giveD by the clergyman of the parish , or by some person appointed by him , to the children belonging to the Established Church , and that it shall be given apart from the ordinary lessons of the school . "

      The eighth of Lord John ' s resolutions provides against that really objectionable clause whioh would draw a line of distinction between the British and Foreign , and other efficiently conducted Dissenting schools . There can certainly be no reason why a certificate should not be received as readily from a Wesleyan , or an Unitarian , or an Independent , or a New Jerusalem school efficiently conducted , as from a British and Foreign , or a Roman Catholio school ; and Lord John ' s resolutions provide that this shall be so . "There is every reason to think that a measure of education , founded

      on the principles asserted in the above resolution , would give general , if not universal satisfaction . " We regret much , therefore , to see the honest-minded and well-meaning DiBsenters , of whom there are thousands—knowing nothing of the Bill but that which they are told by Neddy , and the tub-thumpers , induced by these utterly unprincipled and dishonest leaders to •* ran a-muck" at the whole Bill , instead of strengthening the hands of Lord Joha Russell for the carrying of these reasonable and proper

      reeotions . One good effect of this mad-dog-ism on the part of Dissenters is , that it has considerably qualified the harrassment of Government by High Church bigotB . They have regained sense and coolness , as the others Beem to lose ; and just for this reason : — because they see , as we do , in the bull-headedness of DiBsenters the safety of the Church domi nancy which they desire . Hence , their opposition is diverted from the Bill , and turned to Lord John ' s resolutions which they declare will render the Bill an unbearable curse .

      So that poor Lord John and his resolutions stand now between the two fires , while the Government Bill , in its original form , gets rid of one formidable Bource of opposition entirely , and is enabled to laugh at the other , from its divided weakness . Neddy iB not far wrong , therefore , when he says : — " Let bo one be so thoughtless as to suppose that there is the remotest chance of those resolutions being carried . Lord John Russell can no more carry his resolutions next month , than he can next month enter the Queen ' s Cabinet as Prime Minister . "

      There can be no doubt that if Lord John Russell's resolutions had been well backed up by the Dissenters he would have carried them . The tone vrith which , Sir J . Gbaeam received them amounted almoBt to a pledge to that effect . But with the ravings against them of Ned » y and the tubthumpers ; while the Government can point Lord John to the fact that the parties on whose behalf he purpots to act repudiate his resolutions , he is never likely to carry them . ll

      The Bill will , we have no doubt , be carried very much in its present form ; somewhat modified and amended it may be . We hope , certainly , that Lord John Russell's eighth resolution will be embodied in it ; but it certainly is in small danger from the idle raving for its entire rejection of Neddt and the tub-thumpers . If it were so , we should be inclined , with our contemporary , to say , " Let all rational and ' jnoderateimen J come to the aid of the Government . " Let us have

      Untitled Article

      Education—without clerical ascendancy , if possible—but , in any case , let us have Education . And after all—supposing it should pass even in its present form—what is the mighty bugbejr—so far as Education is concerned , of which ' we have heard so much brayinu aud thumping from Neddy and his sleek-haired patrons t The Spectator has a few words on the matter well put . We borrow them : —

      " In order to estimate the value of the objections to the details ot Sir James Graham ' s educational clauses , let us briefly enumerate their provisions . They go to establish . schools under the management of a Local Board of Trustees , subjected to the inspection of four lay Inspectors , with a staff of assistant Sub-Inspecters , and to the control of the Educational Committee of the Council . The Local Board is to consist of the Clergyman and the Churchwardens of the district , ex- officio Trustees ; and four other Trustees , two of whom must be

      occupiers of Factories employing children , chosen by the district Justices of the Peace out of persons assessed at a oertain sum to the poor , or out of those who have contributed a certain proportional sum to the entire cost of the school . Every person giving a site to a school shall be one of the Trustees during his wnole life . This Board is tied down to certain regulations for insuring due respect to the religious persuasions of the parents of children attending the sohools . The Bible , and " ns other book of religion whatever , " is to be taught to all the pupils :

      instruction in the [ peculiar doctrines of the Church of England , " one hour in each day , " is to be given ; but scholars whose parents desire that they shall not be present at such instruction shall not be compelled to attend . The scholars are to attend the service of the Church once a-day on Sundays , unless the parents desire them not to do so , on the ground of religious objections . And the Educational Committee of the Privy Council are , through their Inspectors appointed by the Queen , that is by her Minister , to watch over the observance of these regulations and enforce them .

      " These arrangemeafcs put tho entire coabroal of this partial system of National Education in the hands of the Civil Government . A majority of the Local Trustees are appointed by tho Justices of the Peace , who are appointed and removable at pleasure by Government . The Inspectors are appointed by Government . The Educational Committee of of the Privy Council have the power of checking every contravention of the regulations made to insure liberty of conscience , Sir Robert Peel ' s Government are endeavouring to put into the bands

      of the Ministers of Education created by Lord Melbourne ' s Government the means of educating the people . The system of sohools contemplated by the present Government Bill must be worked in the sense of the Ministers of the day ; and the Ministers of the day must conform to the sense of the House of Commons and its constituents . This , in the present advanced stage of public opinion , is no bad guarantee that the administration of the Bchools will not be tainted with a proselytizing or an intolerant spirit ;

      " But this approbation of the broad outline of the measurse is quite consistent with a desire that every thing in its details to which well-founded objections can be urged should be amended . All the objections of any plausibility or weight that have been urged against the Bill are in reality objections to details . They all resolve into apprehensions entertained by the Dissenters and liberal Churchmen that the measure may be perverted into a system of pro-Belytism .

      " Regarding this measure , as it ought to be regarded with a total absence of all partisan feeling , and solely with a view to the effects it is calculated to produce upon society at large , we see uo reason why the most zealous Caurohman should object to Sir J . Graham ' s Bill , modified to meet the amendments suggested in Lord Joen Russell's resolutions ; or why , on iho other hand tbe staunchest friend of civil and religious liberty should hesitate to support it . Nay , with regard to the objections urged against the constitution of the Local Boards

      contemplated by the original bill , it does appear , that with Ministers so completely ia the power of the House of Commons as the Minister of this country arc—with Bonstituencies in which the Dissenters are probably more powerful than they would be under a more extended franchise—with the growing feeling in favour of secular eduoation , and an unfettered preBS—the control vested in the Committee of the Privy Council for Eduoation would be found sufficient to counteract any danger from that source . "

      With these sentiments of the Spectator we entirely concur , and entreat that the people will see to it , that the honest and well-meaning of the dissenters through the wholecountry be not hood-wiuked by Neddy and his * ' pack ; " that they have Lord Jqhn Russell ' s resolutions duly explained to them , and that they be entreated to direct their petitions in favour of those resolutions , and not against the Bill . We may in that case hope to see a sufficient strength in the shape of Parliamentary support

      to enable Lord John to carry these resolutions if be be disposed to do so ; while , on the other hand , if they are determined to keep up the yelping of the " pock , " and to go against the Bill entirely , it is then we think clearly the duty of all rational and moderate men to come at once to the aid of Government , and Bhow the tub-thumpers that National Eduoation and universal welfare are not matters to be tamely sacrificed , or lightly thrown into the froth tab of polemical discussion .

      Amidst all the hubbub on the Education question , tho "pack" contrive always to throw their wee negative on tho entire Bill . This we have before asserted , and are still satisfied , arises from their objection , not to its educational , but to its protective ciauses , which they lack the courage to attack openly . We hear Inot a word from them ia reprobation ' of the really iniquitous portion of the Bill , the lugging into the hell-holes of infants eight years of age . This ought not for an instant to be tolerated ; the people ought with one voice to reject this as eagerly

      as they receive the real boon of education . The re-opening of the subject , too , should be taken advantage of to remind Government that nearly the entire medical talent of Great Britain , and a great majority of the most estimable among the clergy , gentlemen , and magistrates , have long since laid before Parliament their solemn asseveration and conviction that the permitting of young personsaye , or even of adult persons , but especially of young persons , and more especially young femalesto labour in those moral and physical peBt-houses fo

      so long a period , as the law now compels from them , is destructive of their health , morals , and comforts ^ and tends to a constant depreciation and ultimate abrogation of all that is great and valuable in society . These aro the real matters to which pubic attention should be pointed ; these are the things in whioh the Bill » eeds amendment ; but these suit not Neddt and the "Pack . " They have no hope to get rid of the protective clauses contained in the Bill ; no hope to shuffle out of the pains and penalties threatened to the " Pack" for violation of its necessary and humane provisions . This is the real secret of the " cry" which they

      have opened , and of their anger at Lord John Res befor throwing the "herring" of his resolutions across the " trail . " Nothing could prove more conclusively than does the manner in whioh the pack " treat this seemingly fair and honest attempt of Lord John Russell to meet all their objections ; that those objections are , as we first pronounced them , perfectly insincere and knavish , and form the index only to a disposition which , were it net placed within wholesome trammels , would revel heartlessly and joyously in toil and misery , making indifferent merchandise of groans and tears , and blood and bones , and bodies and souls , so that " profit" might but result , aud the " filthy luore" be hauled in .

      A Woman Killed By Her Husband,-Extraordinary Case At Castlenorthwich.

      A WOMAN KILLED BY HER HUSBAND ,-EXTRAORDINARY CASE AT CASTLENORTHWICH .

      Very great excitement has prevailed during the past week at Castle-Northwich , in consequence of suspicious circumstances attending the death of Sarah Hough , wife of William Hough , captain of a flat which plies to an < l from Liverpool . The poor woman died on \ Thursday , the 6 th instant , and on the 8 ch instant , an inquest was held before James Roscoe , Esq ., coroner for the Knutsford division , when a verdiot pf " Died by the visitation of God , from natural causes , " was returned .

      On the following day ( Sunday ) the corpse was buried at Wilton , when a scene of great disorder ensued ; the husband , who attended the funeral , being hooted and groaned at by the spectators as he left the church yard . After the interment , many painful rumours were freely circulated , and facts were elicited , which induced an application to be made to Henry Churton , Esq . to hold another inquest ; for it appears that Castle Northwich is not included in the Knutsford division , and therefore the investigation taken before Mr . Roscoe was irregular and illegal . Mr , Churton consequently gave instructions that the body should be exhumed ; and on Saturday last proceeded to hold his inquest The excitement in the neighbourhood was most intense . A most respectable jury had been summoned for the occasion ; aud among those who attended the proceedings , were , G . Wilbraham , Esq ., J . F . France , Esq ., G . SBackcrley , Esq ., and J . H . Harper , Esq ., magistrates of the countv .

      Catharine Allcook , daughter of the deceased , with whom she resided , deposed that the health of deceased had been very good during the last two years ; deceased was confined about seven months ago , Bhe continued to suckle the child till Sunday , the 2 nd instant ,, she was then in her usual health ; my step-father ({ Win . Hough ) had been about several days ; he came home on that Sunday morning , about six o ' clock ; he was somewhat in liquor ; in about half an hour he left the house , and returned at ten o ' clock very much intoxicated ; he laid himself down on the squab , and shortly after had a quarrel with the deceased ; I and my sister were present when my stepfather ' s son came in , who complained of not having had sufficient food ; my mother was preparing

      dinner , and had put on the fire two saucepans containing a dumpling and potatoes , which my stepfather removed ] off the fire , and placed at the back of the door , which he fastened ; he then clenched his fist , and asked my mother " where she would have itT' my mother was then sitting down , sackling tho child ; she said " any where ; " he then struck her a heavy blow on the right breast , whioh scarred her breast and the child's faoe ; I took the child from my mother and ! carried it out of doors ; but before I did so , deceased received another blow from him on her side , he f having previously pushed her back on the sofa , and held her down with his knees . Before { this occurred , deceased and her husband lived happily j together ; before my step-father

      struck deceased , she took up the poker and said , " By G , I am sworn to take care of my children ; ' ' deceased , after she had been beaten , went to James Marsh ' s ; her face was nearly covered with blood ; she bled very much from the nose ; Mrs . Marsh washed her face ; deceased sent for the Hartford oon&table , and afterwards broke her own ba « k door open ; myself , my sister , and deceased remained at home the whole of the afternoon ; deceased complained very much , and was unable to take any food till half-past four , when she had some tea and a slice of bread and butter ; about nine o ' clock she had a tea-cup full of stew ; deceased did not go to bed , as she was afraid her husband w « uld come in and abuse her ; David Marsh and my step-father

      came home at twelve o ' clock , both very drunk ; the the whole of us remained up all night ; Marsh went away at four on ] Monday moraing , and Kitty Leather a neighbour who eat with us , at half-past five ; soon after my step-father awoke , and told my mother that he " had I some stuff about him which would lay either her' or any other person asleep . " — ( This we believe refers to a superstitious notion , entertained by fpersons in those parts , that the men who accompany the flats ia their voyages have about them a kind of charm , for producing certain talismanio effects . ) Witness continued her statements by deposing that Hough threatened to send the bailiffs ; ( deceased kept a shop ) deceased left the house , and iwent to an Attorney ' s office , to know whether he could Bend the bailiffs ; she afterwards went to Lucy P , oyniou ' s house , where she compliaaed of being unwell , and went up stairs , where she said , " O dear , you must let me lie on your bed , for

      I shall die "; she afterwards said , " O Bill Hough , 0 Bili Hou * h , jthon hast done my job " j deceased was perfectly sensible , I remained with her the whole afternoon , I left her and returned the following morning , she was very ill and rambling ; she complained very much of her head ; there were present Lucy Poynton and several other personB ; Ann Hitchin was also present applying leeches to both temples . My step-father came to aee deceased in the afternoon , but my mother refused to see him . I remained with her till ten o ' clock . I did not see her again till Wednesday morning , she was then worse : I remained with her about ten minutes . 1 did not see her alive after this time . [ We nay here remark , that Hou « b was a widower when he married the deceased , ehc also being a widow , and both having children , the offspring of their former marriages ; who , it appears , all lived together when this unhappy transaction occurred . ]

      Nancy Allcock , another daughter of the deceased , corroborated her sister ' s testimony iu all its main particulars , j Sarah Marshiconfirmed the previous evidence .-Sarah Harrison , landlady of the Wheat Sheaf public house , stated that deceased called there on Monday morniug , the 3 rd instant ; she was very

" I went into , the back yard , and saw deceased leaning againBt a rain tub ; . she said , "Oh , woman , will you see-me murdered V Wm . Hough was standing behind her ; he struck her two blows on the back part of her head . I said " Ob , Wm . Hough , don't hit her , " and he said , Til knock her bloody neck off ; " he appeared to be tipsy . On Sunday night deceased sent for me , and said she dare not stay in the house alone , for she was afraid her husband was getting , more ^ rink . I remained with her the whole night . I left at five o ' clock on Monday morning . Houeh

      cams in at twelve o ' clock on Sunday night ; there was no quarreling while 1 stayed . We had nothing but offee and some stew . Deceased complained very much of her bead in tbe course of the night , and said , " this is what I wanted , I wished him to strike me , for I could then swear my life against'him ; she said she had no comfort amongst them ; she did not blame her husband so muoh as his son ; he had been a good husband to herself , and a good father to her children . Deceased and her husband had appeared to live on good terms with each other ; I never knew them to have words before this qqarrel . Jane Weadall , who had been called on to draw deceased breasts , deposed to the appearances ; deceased said , " O dear me , I doubt William Hough has done my job . "

      Lucy Poynton , corroborated the testimony of the two first witnesses as to the facts mentioned by them ; and further deposed , that on the Monday , Mr , Dean , a surgeon was sent for , whose attentions witness described . William Hough ( she added ) came to my house on Wednesday , where he remained the whole day ; he was apparently in great distress ; at two o ' clock he went up stairs with me , and assisted in rubbing his wife ' s hands ; he kissed her , and Bhe kissed him ; deceased appeared insensible but unable to articulate ; she became gradually worse , and expired about six o ' clock on Thursday morning . Wm . Hough remained with her the whole of the night , and left my house about a quarter of an hour before deceased expired .

      Mr . James Dean , surgeon , of Winnington , deposed that he visited the deceased on the Monday , Tuesday , and Wednesday , and described the remedies he applied , as well as the result of a post mortem examinatiod of the body on the 7 ch instant . He was of opinion that death was caused by inflammation of the brain ; a blow on the chest might produce such inflammation . Mr . Samuel Dean , surgeon , also saw deceased , accompanied by bis brother , on the Wednesday evening , and attended the post mortem examination ; his opinion was that she suffered from effusion on the brain , caused by previous inflammation ; iu his judgment , she would not have died bad she not received several contusions and concussions prior to her death . Samuel Birt identified the body as that of Sarah Hough .

      The investigation occupied ten hours ; but the above are the most material points in the evidence adduced . After consulting together for about half an hour , the jury returned the following verdict' * That the deceased came to her death by inlaov mation of the brain , brought on by concussion , which was occasioned by injuries inflicted on her by he ? husband , and that she would not have so died , if such injuries had not been inflicted on her , and that such injuries were not inflicted with malice aforethought .
