      " Bkitkh Slavery . — "We bear a great deai about slavery in the West Indies , and of slavery in factories , and we would at all times do all in empower to ameliorate the condition of both the one and the other ; but there are also othef slaves in whose behalf we would also engage ihe public sympathy . The following case will explain our meaning : — "William Sargesen , a child only eleven tears of age , was last week brought np by the police of Hull , " in a most forlorn and dirty condition , having been employed as asweep . He vas found in a blacksmith ' s forge , on the previous night , and on being dragged out and questioned by the officer , he said he had been in the employ of Mr .

      "Wilkinson , the sweep / who resides in "Waterhouse-lane , but in consequence of ill-treatment , and wapt of foad , ie had run away . In consequence of this statement , and the bey asserting that he was not an apprentice , 31 r . Kewmarsh , who sat for the Mayor , directed the master to be sent for , and in a short time Mrs . "Wilkinson appeared at the bar , and said that her husband was from home . The charge was then gone into , and in answer to questions put by the magistrates , the boy stated thathe belonged to London , and came down here with an elder brother to seek work , and had been employed , by Mr . "Wilkinson for the last six months . He had never been properly washed and cleaned since he was

      blackened , —be had been beaten and pinched of food , aad had no change of clothes for a Sunday . Mrs . "VNWilkinson said tee boy ' s tale was not true ; she had only taken him from pity , and that he was of nouse to her ; be had not made ber a shilling since she bad him , and he was not fit to be trusted to send to ire ' Dtiemen ' s houses . Mr . Ayre , Clerk to tbeMagistrates , here interposed , and said she had no husiness to take away tbe poor lad ' s character . This unfortunate interruption completely nonpluss'd the good lady ; sbe became erafused in her story , while the bold , " yet artless manner in which the poor child , with tears in his eye ? , rebutted ber base insinuations , convinced every one on which side the truth lay . Mr . Ayre told her eae bad subjected herself to heavy penalties under the Act 4 and 5 , "William IV ., wh ' . cb irnroses a tire of not less than 40 s . -upon any

      person employing a child as a sweep , ( except as an apprentice , or on trial . ) under tbe age of fourteen yetrs ; it also requires that all boys should be veil vrusti-il every Saruiiky . asdiave a chaDge of clothes , aru ! be taken to . some place of worship oa the Sunday . Mrs . ~ V > . bet-srae more stupid , and tbe bench and the audience more interested . Mr . Lawthorp took up the case warmly , snd told tee woman that - -Le should no : have the boy again , that she might depend upon , and he felt deposed to punish her by inflicting the penalty . This produced a revolution ; she began to whine about her poverty , and said the boy mig-L . t go , and slie would , if . they tbonpht proper , pve him a sbillicg or twe to take him by the packet to London . 3 Xririsrrate : — Thatwon ' t do ; ae shall go to the "Workhouse for the present .

      Bkeakhcg Squares . —John Brook a notorious character , who has l > een very frequently before tbe Magistrates on var ious cbarrr&s , but who has always managed to escane without being committed , brought before tbe Leeds Magistrates on Saturday last , charged with breaking several squares of glass in the house of a man named Harrison . He had also a new silk handkerchief in his posyession , cf which be could give no sat isfactory account . He again escaped , in consequence of Harrison not appearing against him .

      Assatjltisg a PolicX-- ! AA\—Joseph Handler was charsed before tbe Leeds Magistrates on Saturdav last , with assaulting a policeman , when eadeavourirjs to take hiin into custody for creating a Disturbance in the street . Handler had been drinking at a beer-bocse , in "Water-lane , in company with some others .

He was fined 20 * . and costs , and In default of payment was committed to "Wckefield for one month .

      A Jew G-ctrogued . —On Friday morning week , a Jew named Jordan , living in York-street , appeared before the Magistrates of Leeds , to charge bis landlord named Brown , and a bailiff named Hartley with- an assault . It appeared from tbe evidence tbat Jordan had for some time been a tenant of Brown , and tbat be was unwilling to leave the premises notwithstanding be bad been frequently reqnested to do so . The " landlord being unable to obtain his rent , seized Jordan's little stock of furniture , amongst which was a medicine chest , by which Jordan obtained his living . An agreement was entered into between them and -signed , by which it was stipulated that Jordan was to give up peaceable possession of the house on condition that his medicine ehest was restored . Tbe Jew being unable either to read or write , sisned the paper by bis mark ,

      without knowing what It contained . When it was signed the landlord failed to fulfil its conditions , on perceiving which Jordan also turned obstinate , refused to give up . possession of the house . The landlord and his bailiff proceeded shortly afterwards to make a forcible entry by demolishing the door . Jordan stated that . when they got into the house by this means , they threatened to ' murder him , the one holding a pickaxe , and the other a large poker over his head . He also complained of shameful usage towards his wife by tbe landlord and baih'ff . His wife corroborated the statements . The landlord produced the agreement , in which there was no mention of the medieine chest , and- the Jew avowed that they * -4 written what they pleased on the paper after he ¦ 4 it , and that the signature to the blank" --. ¦ ' from him through fear .

      THE NEW POOR LAW . — - ——* $ »— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES . ? - ' : r , —To every humane reflecting mind the cruel resnlts of Ibis > vew Poor Law be-cmoe apparent in every corner of this vast metropolis and its suburbs .

' s , lobbin-masnfactory , at Pudsoy , near Todmorden , wbicb to . Jetber with tbe mill v \ va < at the time plentifully stored with wood , dried nnd prepared for use . The fire " was rot discovered nntil it hid communicated with tbe factory , which , adjoin * the dwj .-Hing-ho . ii . se , occupied by Jlr . Kelliwell ; such was the rapidity of tbe destructive element , that it was with the utmost difficulty that Mr . Helllu - e 31 ' s children , ( six in number , under nine years , ) together with his wife , wbo at the time hnd only been confined about a fortnight of . her roundest , were rescued from their

      perilous situation . The mill , machinery , wood , and a lare-e stock of ready made bobbins ; ai- ' o the dwelling-house , and tbe whole of the furniture and wearing appnrcl of the family , ( excepting one suit of clothe . 5 beloni ^' ne to ? Ir . HeHiwell , and a waistcoat belonging . his partner , ) in little more than two hoiirs were completely -destroyed . The different members of the family have for the present , been taken into tbe bouse ? of several humane individuals in the neighbourhood , and clothed , where they are to remain until some plan can be-adopted to " relieve them in their distressed situation . The amount of the dampg ' e ( which is more than tbe partners were possessed of , ) is estimated at about £ 800 , none of wbicb was insured .

      AcriDEXT . —A serious occurrence took place at Messrs . John and Joseph Storer ' s colliery , at Ibstock , near A ? hby-de-la-Zouch , in Leicestershire . Early on Thur-day morning la « t , as Samuel Shnw , aged twenty-four , and John Rawson , aged twentytwo , colliers , were about to descend the old shaft , one hundred and thirty yards deep , at Ibstock colliery , each having £ ut upon tbebarrel and reaching out their candles to another who was holding a .-shovel with fire to light them at , tbe chain affixed to tbe baTTel snapped , it is supposed in consequence of the effect which tbe frost had upon it , and precipitated them to tbe bottom of the shaft with a fearful velocity : their bodies were immediately drawn up , which were ereatlv bruised bv the fall , and both of them dead .

      "WRECK OF THE PACKET RANGER . Fai . kot ; th , Feb . 15 . —The fearful , tremendous hurricane which has prevailed from E . S . E . for the last twenty-four hours along this coa « = t , and , although partially subsi ^ ed , still blows a gale , has left behind it tokens of its- visitation in tbe wreck of ber Majesty ' s packet Ranger , which paciet broke from ber moorings at five o ' clock A . ai ., from which period , for three hours , guns were continually fired by . her . The constant fall of bail and-snow prevented its being known on shore what position tbe vessel was in , from wbicb the reports were beard as sipnals for assistance . On the weather becoming a little clear , she was discovered tobe tbe packet above mentioned ,

      and an express soon after arrived at Captain PlumriBge ' s to report the event . The sea had driven her broad . « ide on the shore , under ..-Trefusisrhill , on the spot where the Queen transport was lost . some-years ago . In a short space of time the coast was lined with sailors belonging to the packets , with their officers , and the . gallant commodore of the port , who had hastened round to the point , about four miles distant from Falmoutb , by land , and were engaged in saving her stores , &c . . It is to be hoped that she will yt-t be able to be got off on tbe next spring tides , if the continuance of the recent gale 3 does not shatter her frame . A man called Andrews " was drowned .

      An instance of great intrepidity occurred to-day . "When the wind was at its height , two men were seen on board a coal bulk in the harbour exerting themselves to the utmost in pumping her , and likewise a coal bag hoisted to a epar , indicating distress . It being known that the hulk was leaky , the circumstance was talked of among a crowd of persons who were looking on as ODe of the greatest peril , and unless the men were taken off immediately , that they would perish . At this moment , Lieutenant Field , R . N ., happened to ^ be passing , and on his hearing the circumstance , hastened to the pier and engaged a six-oared longboat , to attempt to rescue the poor fellows from destruction ; the gallant officer "" ¦ ¦ 1 . * >«» boatmen with his pocket , but —•! after very great - "ting the

      WHOLESALE ASSASSIXATfOK " . . ¦ . . ; . . . . mnqrf ' ——^ ; . ; . '¦ ^ ye give in our pressnt number another of those calm and sober , but yet searching and soul-harrowing letters , from Mr . Bowes , a Guardion of tbe Bridgewater Union , to the Editor of ' the' -Times-In this letter the publiciis apprised of the denouement of the " Kell Broth" trnged } - in that Union . The horrible facts detailed in--these letters , which have now , for three succes-ive weeks , been re-published in the Northern Star , should be made familiar to the mind and memory of every working man and woman in the three kingdoms . We have rep < atedly averred ' that no honest man ever could or would lend his assistance to the carrying into effect of the Poor La ; v Amendment Act , " We have repeatedly avowed our conviction , that the spirit arid" tendency of this law was to enhan 6 e ' . and mate

      pcn : ranent the thraldom of the industrious classes , by compelling , them to give their labour on whatever terms the 3 Iiddle-cla . " . s Jioneyinongers might c'hoo re " to offer ; but we have , here the most clear and damnable- development of the soul paralysing fact , that it-: object and intention is to provide the means of at once sweeping from the face of the earth the shoals of population , which ,, having been made reJundant by a monopoly of the productive-powe-ts of machinery on the part of tbe rich , come to lie regarded " as a pecuniary burden by the' villains who have robbed "hem of the means of independenee . Tbe .-e are not the " ' ravings" of an" incendiary . " Thev are not the crude declamations of " those who

      are totally unacquainted with -the subject on which they so loudly declaim . " They are not , in the honied phrase of the Lends 'Mercury , the . " gross fabrication of some of the Hired purveyors of slander for the Anti-Poor Law agitators , " They are the deliberate statements of a frentlemnn of unimpeached character , whose means of knowing the facts which he details were of the best possible kind ; whose inclination . - to pervert or falsify any one of those facts , even if such an inclination-had existed , must have been repressed by the knowledge that it was impossible to do so Without instant detection and exposure ; and who affirms nothing but ; simple matters of fact , officially reported by the myrmidons of . the system , referring--continually , for proof : to their own record , of these facts in the several

      minutes of their own book ? . What , then , . are tbe facts , detailed by this gentleman , himself a Guardian of the very Union in which the occurrences took place ?¦ "Why that ,: in direct contravention and arid defiance of the medical officers recommendations , < i course of-Dietary .-was enforced by the Guardians , at the bidding of the Commissioners , which , almost immediately , produced , among the wretched arid helpless inmate ? , a loathsome , infectious disease . He tells us , not on his own authority merelyybut' ^\ s ' . o on that of the Governor of the workhoiise , who iii describing the effect of the gruel , said that-- :

      " It did not nflect the poor jieoplc sp rimcli at fir ? t , Vut after the use of it for a few days thuy . becaiiie terribly tad ; . it ran awny _ from them while tHeywrre standing upright as they took it .

      And it w-iis . not--until . Mr . Bowes , a ? a Member of the Board , . declared thut , whatever might ; be the consequences of invoking the wrath of tbe Commissioners , he would not be longer associated with-. this system of wholesale murder—jt was not until after many months of strenuous exertion oft the part of others , and even six monlhs nfter the medical attendant hnd solemnly called the attention of the Board to the fact , that the Commissioners' gruel had produced ' a ' most distressing complicatioii of disea . ses—it was not until alter this long and frightful period of torture and death that a reluctant permission was extorted to ' abate the deadlv nuisance .

      But , .-surely , tbe Commissioner . * knew nothing of all ¦ this ., ' , if \ they did know , they lost no time in immediately putting forth their hi yb authority , and unlimited powers , to investigate ths matter , and bring the perpetrators of such frightful enormities to justice . A pretty story , truly , to expect that they should interfere for the purifchment of those who , like good boys , did merely as they were bid . But did they not enquire into these matters ? Yes ; truly , so testifies the-letter in our present number . They sent down a " thing " in the shape of a tramping pauper named Eobeut \ Yea £ e , with full powers * to enquire into the truth of these awlbl allegations and to examine , on oath ,

      either secretly , or otherwise , all such witnesses as IT ini ^ jbt thint necessary . And what . sort of witnesses did . it think necessary ? Did this tramping pauper compound of Judge , Jury , and Advocate , call before it any of the few surviving suiFerers from the gruel ? Not one . Did it examine the nurses who , as long as nurses' could be obtained , attended the wretched creatures who had died ? Not one of them . Did it examine the Matron , who was hourly : among the sufferers , and had a full opportunity of judging of their respective cases , having nearly sacrificed her own life to the . discharge of her duty ? Not : it . Did IT think necessary the evidence of the

      humane Member of the Visiting Committee , by whose determined exertions a change" of dietary , had been' accomplished ? No . Did IT call for the evidence of the Medical Officer of the Establishment , Mr . King , who had seen the beginning of the gruel and the beginning of the disease , —who had watched the progress of the gruel and the progress of disease , —who had personally suffered from the infection—had pointed out the cause of "it to the Guardians , and implored them to desist from their murderous career ? No this gentleman ' s evidence was not u thought necessary" by Mr . Weale .

      "What witnesses then did the " thing" examine upon this awful charge of wholesale murder against the administrators of the Poor Law ? "Why it called the paid Clerk of the Board of Guardians- — the paid / Governor of the ^ Workhouse , and inasmuch as something in the shape of Medical Evidence seemed to be indispensible , it called a gentleman , who , when Mb . King was laid up of the disease which he had caught in the Hell-hole , had occasionally officiated for him in his absence ! And what is the recorded testimony of these earefully selected witnesses ?; Why : Mr , Poole , that gehtlennanwhooccasionally attended as Medical Officer , swears that ^— . ¦

"' " vVill be dare to rank this " among th ' o numberless misrepresentations published in the Times of the New Poor Law ? " If so , we shall be most happy to see his disproval of the facts alleged by' Mr . govrEN ; for that is the on ! y means of getting his friends out of the mes ? We hope our contemporary has seen the letters ; m question ! but , lest lie should not have seen them ,

      we shall take the liberty of handing him copies of the Northern Star in wliich they are reprinted .. '"We have observed our contemporary to have a particular fancy for reprints , especially . ' on this question , for : wo find the most pungent of . his comments , those on the Great Meeting at Barnsley , to have referred to the reprinted report of that meeting in the Times , rather than to the original report in tiie Northern Star . There is no harm in

      the fancy of our Mercurial neighbour , and we . are very happy to have ah opportunity of gratifying it . In comiH en tin g upon that meeting , the Mercuryunhesitatingly gives the . lie to one of the speakers , Sir . Cbabtree , who " had asked whether the tearing of the beautiful white babe from the breast of its distracted mother in the Basliles of our owa country , was not an act of . atrociryr to be regretted and lamented . ! " ¦¦ ¦ -. - . "

      Now , whether Mr . Ghabtbee be in a conditioa to prove that any such fact as thin ever toojc place in England , we , of course , cannot know , tliough we suspect there would be no difficulty at all ; in the matter ; but we dp know that the letters of Mr . BowElf to which we request our contemporaries most especial attention , prove facts a thousand times more awful , and we fear that tlie Mercury will find it a much easier task to say that they are false" than . ' to prove them so . Talking cf the Barnsley Meeting , we perceive that our contemporary has obtained

      some information , ' telegraphically j or otherwise ^ respecting other circumstances connected with ; that meeting , " the trutli of whith , but for our neighbour ' * universally known veracity we should have been inclined to dispute . But . we will not suffer minor matters to occupy our attertdon ' at so impertant : a . moment . The Mci'cury scouts the idea of a mother being separated from her infant child under the Keyr Poor Law Act , and . exclaims , " As if suet aii event had ever taken place in this country , and . were not

      the gross fabrication of some of the hired purveyors of slander for the ADti-Popr Law agitator * . " . Now- , we challenge the Merenry to show us byxeference to the Poor Law Amendment Act tha . it such .: an event might not take place under the prarisions of that Act . If he can do this , then his censure of-Mr . Crabtree is just—if not , it is at best rash and undeserved . We are sorry to see ; . tSfe Mercury exhibit oa this great subject : a temper so- ¦ Tery di& . fereht to that blandness of manners aTid-lferndness ^'

      Poor-law Looic—At a recent meeting of the Poor Law Guardians , - application was made by a woman , about seventy years of Jtge , for relief . Inqniry was mnde what family she ., find . Her repl y was ' -that she had two sons , one a shfepherd , the other a labourer , and that they were very good to her in pnying her rent . She Was considered not a . fit oliject for relief , on the ground that her sons ought "to support her ; arid a small allowance was made to her , with the declaration that her sons' wages would

      be attached for her support . Another woman of above seventy years of age also applied , who had a son who lodged in her house , who was not of good character . In this ease it was pranouncedthnt the aged woman was not a fit olyect of . relief , because she . had . this son under her roof j and an allowance was made only on condition that she got rid of hira . So that it . Seems that aged and ¦' ¦ ' infirm people are equally unentitled to relief , if they have chiMrtfrt , whether these be ffovd or hwl ' . — Lincoln Gazette *
