AccidBHt . —On Sunday last , as a countryman was driving a waggon heavily laden with wood , ont of Kirkgate , into Market-street , the wheel of the waggon locked with the post at the cornerj ob being liberated , the waggon rolled forward with considerable force , and the shaft struck the man s breast , and pressed tim against the wall of an adjoining house ; he then proceeded forward * a few jards , as though nothing had occurred ; but on Teaching the front of Bawson's Anns , iw feu . down quite helpless . He is reported to have died in consequence .

      Sib Gbobge Stbickxaxd and the Facto-MBS' Act . -The following letter has been received from Sir George in answer to a note from the Rev . G . S . Ball , drawing his attention- to the Bill now pending before Parliament London , May 6 th , 1838 . Sib , —Incessant occupation must be my-excuse for not having returned to yoar letter an earlier answer . I have read it with attention , and I agree ¦ with many of your views . 1 am not at present ¦ well aware howtheHH before Parliament will rrrwrate as an improvement of the existing law , to

      • which Inerer was favourable ; considering it to be too complicated and loo inexplicit ever to work well . ' So far as the present law has nad the effect of introducing a relay system , it may have afforded relief to young children * I quite agree vrith you that to a young person whe has worked twelve hours a day , all attempts at education must be absurd , and 1 slill think that a more simple enactment , upon the principle at least of the Ten Hours' Bill , would be productive of more good . Young children ought , however , to be the first objects of attention , and if a Ten Hours' Act would be for their advantage , surely an Eight Hours' Act , if really and truly carried into effect would afford them still greater relief .

      I remain , Your obedient Servant , GEORGE STRICKLAND . HALIFAX . Heptoxstaxl . —On Thursday , April 19 th , pursuant to public notice , a meeting of the rate-payers of the township of Heptenstall , was holden in the Yestry of the Parish Church , for the purpose of electing two fit and proper persons to serve as Churchwardens for the ensuing year : the Rev . 3 , Charnock , Incumbent , in the chair , who conducted himself very honourably . But three of the 11 respectables'" ( as they call themselves ) made use of all manner of abusive and obscene language , inasmuch that it was moved and seconded that

      one of them , who was a constable , should be taken to the lockup ; but In consequence of there being no other constable but himself present , the motion wanot put from the chair . Two wardens were elected , who did not meet the approbation of some of the * ' respectable , " one of whom said , that , the nonjespectables" had no right to vote ; but on being told that every rate-payer has a right to vote , another objection was made by the " respectables" to the above two wardens , oa the ground that they are incapable of keeping the church in good repair . ^ " Well , says one of the * ' nonrespectables , ' ' they will be able to keep the church in as good repair as it has hi therto been kept : especi&llv if they bring is

      such bills as you brought in for certain repairs * ( not here nameJ ) . " O" bring thee before thee betters for that , " says a " respectable / ' Very well , answered a ' nonrespectaWe , " I haTe plenty of witnesses . " Respectable : " O'l bet te -what tc likes orrt . " A voice in the meeting : We are not come here to bet wagers . Bate-payers of Heptonstall , come forward and proclaim your rights , aud be no longer defrauded by those who call themselves " respectables , " wbo , by extravagance aud want of judgment , spend a great part of your money themselves for no good purpose whatever . If ignorance , dishonesty , and empty arrogance be the characteristic of respectability truly die title belongs to those who assume it in this township .

Bentley , a HiilJowner , said that he hoped now that the Factory Question was " settled , " the operatives would come forward and

      help to liberate the iNegro apprentices . Mr . John Ambler , an oH short-time-committee man , who was present , just remarked that Mr . Bentley had made a slight mistake ; that the factory question certainly was anything but " settled , " as Mr . Bentley and his friends would perhaps shortly find ont ; but that the operatives were quite ready to help all sincere advocates of iNegro freedom , to gret emancipation for the blacks , withotit the compensation , ¦ which Mr . Bea :: ? y used to plead for . Query—Had not IkJr . Beadey the circular of the Manchester mfflowners in Ms pocket all the time he -was prating about the faetorv question being settled ?

      Waxefield Young Men ' s Literary Pe-BATING SociETY .--We are pleased to perceive that this institution continues flourishing . For some time given subjects for discussion were the order of the day ; but at present , essays are read , and controversial questions are discussed alternately . Recently , a very elaborate and talented essay on " Geology " was read by Mr . "Walker , which was practically illustrated by fossil remains , specimens of strata , stratified shells , &c . The essayist demonstrated , in the ^ inost in telligible way , the various depositions of toe strata the utility of the science ,

      , and its close alliance to natural history , &c , &c The audience appeared extremely gratified , and , at the conclusion of the lecture , a vote of thanks was proposed for the lecturer , which was carried with the greatest acclamation . The room was literally crammed to suffocation . On "Wednesday week , a very pleasing and instructive essay on ' * The Advantages of Scientific Pursuits , " was delivered by Mr . Cutfirth , to a numerous and attentive audience ; after which an interesting discussion took place on the prominent advantages of " science , &c . After a vote of thanks to the essayist , the meeting broke up .

      AIiTebthobpe Poor Botjse . —This asylum for the necessitous , which for a number of years has saluted the eyes of every one on his entrance into the village , from Wakefield , who was capable of beholding it , during this week received its final blow , and stands now only as a monument of the kindly feelings that once existed in the bosoms of the more fortunate of mortals towards the helpless and houseless of their species . On Wednesday , the furniture and other moveable goods and chattels belonging to the establishment , were sold by auction . The breakingup of this place has castakind of gloom over the village . Every inhabitant looks upon this occurrence with feelings expressive of sorrow , while words of disapprobation of the new system are indeed not a few . It has roused the

      working men , wbo consider it as an uiijust and unwarrantable encroachment on , and usurpation of their rights . Truth might as well be spoken out ; they seem rife to manifest who are the powers that be . The enforcing of the Tvew Poor Law against the wishes of the people , has verily laid the axe to the root of the existing method of governing , and although it be as stubborn as the oak , it must at length yield to theiepeated blows that most assuredly will be levelled at it . The law makers have laid hold of the hives , and have brought the trorking bees about their ears , and we congratulate them on their company .

      Oratorio at Ossett . — We understand that it is intended to have an oratorio of the first rate at Ossett , on Trinity Monday , the 11 th of June next , the proceeds to be applied towards liquidating ihe debt upon the Towus' Free School which has recently been taken down and rebuilt . When ir is knowti that the best talent in the country both vocal , and instrumental is engaged , we are sure that the lovers of music and all who are cbarilaMv

      disposed will have a double gratification in being present at the performance , viz . they will have a r ich musical treat , and the satisfaction of knowing that the proceeds will be judiciously applied in teaching to read , and wr ite , a number of the poore > t children in the township . We expect next week to be enabled to furnish our readers with a bill of fare , which we have authority for saying , will be found choice and select in the extreme .

      "Working Men ' s Association . —The Rev . J . Cameron continues Ins lectures , on u the anatomy and physiology of the human frame , "' to the members of thi ? useful institution . At the close of the lecture , last Moudav evening , it was unanimously resolved that a public dinner be provided in July next , in celebration of the anniversary of the association , to-which several distinguished patrens will , we understand , be invited . Much ado about Nothing . —On Sunday , about noon , the inhabitants residing in the centre of -Wakefieki , were greatly alarmed by a report that the house of Mr . IliiHgworth , boot and shoemaker , at the bottom of Ratttn-row , was on fire , and hundreds « f persons were immediatelj assembled . A thick volui-e of smoke arising apparently from the

      roof , served pot at all to flissipate their fears . Posthorses were dispatched for the Leeds and Yorkshire Company ' s engine * , out of Pincheon-street , which in an almost incredible space of time were stt-n turning the corner of E . irkgate at a railway speed . Mr . Illingwortb ran to inform that their service * could be dispensed with , but they heeded him nothut pressed on to the scene of conflagration , when an assurance that it was only a chimney that was on fire , and that tb ^ y would get nothing for their labour , seemed to put a damper on their zeal . Another engine frem the police office was also in attendance . While we rejoice that the danger did not correspond vrith the alarm given , we must say that the celerity with which the engines were brou g ht to the spos is deserving of great praise .

      Assault . —Joseph Howard , waterman , « vas charged before the magistrates , on Monday , by Wm . Seaton , a young man formerly in his employ , with assaulting him on board his vessel . The assault originated in the defendant breaking the complainant's pipe . Howard did not dtny having " committed the assault , and be was ordered to pay one pound . TW dtfraclrmt said , " I can ' t pay it . " Mr . Maude : Then you must go to prison . Defendant : I should think a . sovereign will do just as well as a pound note . 3 Ir . Maude : Equally as well . Defendant : Oh ! I only thought you were going to put me to a bit of trouble to seek a pound note up for you . Defendant then paid the monev .

      BARNSLEY . Fuxerai . of ax Oddfellow . — On Sunday morning last , the members of the Queen Charlotte Lodge , Barnsley , walked in procession toDodworth , and followed the remains of a departed brother , Isaac Bennet , to his last silent home , amidst a large coc course of spectators . Prolific Hex . —Mr . Thos . Hunter , of the Calender ' s Arms , Barnsley , has a hen of a French breed , which has laid ten eggs , all completely covered with shell , in the space of seven days , viz . - two on Sunday the 29 th ult ., two on Wednesday the 2 nd , and two on Saturday the 5 th instant , one on each of the intermediate days . She was a last year chicken : the only breed of the sort iu

      that part is in the possession of Mr . Grove , Stainbro 1 Inn , near Barnsley , who has the sire of the hen , which weighs upwards of 12 lbs . Accidext . —On Thursday week , as two boys named Shaw , one aged rive and the ether seven years , were on their way home from school , they stopped playing near some coke ovens , at Elsecar , near Barnsley , when the jouDgest fell into one of them , and was so dreadfully burnt that his life in despaired of . It is but due to state that the elder brother , although so young , had the courage to extricate the sufferer from his perilous situation , although the fire was blazing out of the top of the oven where the other had fallen into , which burnt his eyebrows and the other hair about his face .

      Babksley Court-House , May 2 . James Firth was charged , before the Rev . H . B . Cooke , G . "Wentwortb , and J .

It appeared the prisoner bad absconded , and had not been apprehended until this time , when the

      case being proved clearly against him , he was committed for ene month to Wakefield House of Correction , and Mr . Cooke wished it to be known that in this , and all offences against the game-laws committed in the night time , that at the expiration of the term they were committed for , they would have to find sureties against a repetition of the offence within twelve months , or iu default thereof they would have to remain in prison six davs longer .

      Reftjsixg to Pay W ^ res . —Dr . Turton was charged by John Milner with refusing to pay him the sum of £ 1 . 2 s . due to his son for wages . It appeared to be a . matter of dispute between the parties . The complainant said that he hired his sob to Dr . Turtoc ' s wife for £ 6 for the year , to give or receive a month ' s notice . Mrs . Turton said that her agreement vrith Milner for Ms son wa ? to be £ 4 . 10 s ., and if he was a good bov she would make

      it better by giving him the cast off clothes of her son , who is abont the same size , which she had done , having given him a shirt , a pair of stockings , and a coat . "Yes , " said Milner ,- " and I have got them valued by a respectable tailor , asd he values the coat at 2 . « . 6 d ., the stockings at 63 .,-and-the shirt at 2 ^ d . ( This valuati on caused roars of laughter . ) The . Bench considered her statement to be a correct oBe , « o they ordered the sum to be paid in proportion to £ 4 . 10 s ., and costs .

Missions . —On Sunday last , an excellent and appropriate sermon was preached in the parish church of Richmond , by the Rev . Thomas Holme , head master of the Grammar School , at Kirby Hill , and in the chapel of the Holy Trinity , by the Rev . J . B .

      KJBIGHLEV . Election of Chief Constable . —Strange Proceedings at the Court Leet , ! 5 kipto . n . —Uu Moiiuay the 26 th of March last , a vestry meeting was held , when Mr . Thomas Spencer , druggist , wi-s appointed constable without opposition , l / u Saturday last , that gentleman presented himsell at the Court Leet , Skip ton , t o be sworn into office , accompanied by Mr . J . Finh , Mr . J . Bedford , Air . J . li Aked , aud Mr . R . Stowell . Alter the Jury had been sworn , Mr . Hallcock , Clerk of the Court , addressed them at considerable length on the nature of the cases which would be brought bulore tlieru , and on their duties as J urymen ; cliargiii" them

      particularly neither to Jet party , wealth , nor respectability , bias or influence their judgments . Alter the other cases had been disposed of , and Kdghley called on , Mr . Proctor Hall ,- solicitor , rose to propose Mr . Joseph Craven and Air . Edmund Lay cock , as tit and proper persons to fill the office of constables for liie ensuing year . Mr . J . B . Aked then rosf to move that Mr . Thomas " S > peucer be the constable for tne ensuing year ; after which . Mr . Hall addressed . the Court , observing that Mr . Spencer , along with _\ j r . Uauisden , another gentleman , had beeu constables of Keighley , aud during that time this same Saucer s conduct had-been of such a nature , that the people of Keiehley were literally disgusted with it .

      He then commenced out * of the most shameful attacks-oil the character of Mr . Spencer , we remember ever to have heard , although that ' geiiilemuii is a man of the highest respectability and honour . ' But what , " continues Mr . Hall , " makes Mr . Spencer ' s case still worse , he has the audacity to appear nguin in Court , although liis accounts Jiave neivr be . m published . " Here Mr . Spencer observed ihat he had withheld publishing his accounts in accordance with tbe will of the vestry , whose servant he v . u .-i ; and that those gentlemen who now came torward to oppose him , had never once thought proper to come lunvard , Jor reasons best known to inem « ehe > , to oppose this mode of proceeding . Mr . Hal ) , in

      continuation , said that Mr . Smith and Mr . Craven h ~ d been constables for the last year ; Mr . Smith having declined to accept office again , they had prevailed upon Mr . Laycock to stand in his stead . The reason those gentlemen had not been elected by the vestry was this : —The vestry meetings of Keighiey were such as no gentleman would disgrace Inmsi-il by attending ; being conducted in a mo .-t disorderly manner , and composed for the most part of the lowest rabble in the town 5 a sample oi which they ruiuht behold in the persons betore them , tiiruiiig mini ] and pointing to Mr . Spe ? icer and iris j neatls . Mr . Hall proceeded at great length m the same strain , alternately blackguarding Mr . Spencer and

      the vestry meetings , and concluded by saying , ' * Hm Mr . Chairman and ( Jentlemen of the Jury , on ihe other hand , the gentlemen whom I have die honour to propose , aremen of the highest respectability and honc-ur ; and to . prove to you that it is the wish ot the people of Keighley that they should be elected , and not Mr . Spencer , I have a petition to prpsi-nt to this Com t , signed by hearly all the influential £

      knowledge of the householders of Keif . 'hley . Mr . Aked here produced the Vestry Order Book " , which Mr . Hallcock having examined , exclaimed ' * Certainly , there is a resolution reported to haw been passvd at a vestry meeting , and signed by one Joseph Firth , Chairman . Who is this Joseph i- 'irth ' : '' I \ Jr . J . Firih , who is a respectable tanner , and one of the churchwardens , then rose and said , " Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen of the Jury—1 am Joseph Firth , one ol tbe sample so eloquently described by Mr . Hall , and chairman of the vestry meeting at whu-h Mr . Spencer wusduly elected constable for the town ot Keighley . " Mr . Firth , then proceeded to milict a severe casrigarion on Mr . Hall , for his insolence ; and concluded by appealing to the good sense ami honour of the Jury lor an impartial verdict . Mr . J . Bedford likewise " lashed with merited severity the

      conduct of the opposite party , in their mean attempt to substitute might forright . Afterwhich , Mr . Hullcock proceeded to charge the Jnry ; and though that gentleman , in his opening address , had warned the Jury notto pander eitherto wealth or respectability , yet bv the frequent references which he made to the p etition , it was evident that be did all in his power to influence them in their verdict : he argued long and , as he thought , eloquently , on tbe privileges , age , cVc . of the Court of which he had the honour to be Ck-rk and contended that the Court had the power to elect whom they pleased . The Jury were then ordered to lay their heads together , when one of them whispered to Mr . Hall , who had been sitting by them during

      nearly the whole of tbe trial . That gentleman then said , " The Jury has decided in lavour of Messrs Craven and Laycock . " Foreman : We decide in favour of the magistrates . Mr . Hallcock : Then you mean to pay that you decide in favour of tbe persons recommended by the magistrates . Foraman : Yes . On Mr . Spencer and his friends leaving tbe Court , Mr . Spencer observed , "Well , Mr . Hallcock , this shall be tried at a higher Court . " Mr . Hallcock ( in a contemptuous tone ) , w You have threatened that before ; you may try it . "—This is another instance ol the deep-laid plans of villauy so often resorted to by the privileged few in order to rain their ends . Here is a set of men electing in

      direct opposition to all law , equity , and justice , two men , to one of whom Mr . Firth , at a vestry meeting held not long ago , emphatically said , " You are like a mere automaton wandering np and down the streets , without any one noticing you . " The means employed in this nefarious transactioH are as detestable as the ends gained . What can we think of such a man as the sapient expounder of the Jaw , who play * ed such a conspicuous part in the foregoing farce , and who aspires to the respectable character ot gentleman ; branding , as he did , with being leaders of the rab ' , men who are of infinitely more use to

      society , and who stand immensely higher in the estimation of the people of Keighley than he does . As for Mr . Hallcock , little needg be said of him : the fact of his having warned the Jury at the commencement of the trial , tolet neither party influence nor wealth deter them from giving an impartial verdict , and then in a few hours afterwards using all his influence , both directly and indirectly , to prejudice the minds of the same Jury against Mr . Spencer , speaks volumes for his character . As regards the Court of Skipton , we have only to say , in the words of the immortal poet , " Thou hast lived too long !"

      Odd Fellows . —On Saturday night , the Eboracum Lodge , M . U ., opened a new Lodge at the house ol Mr .

J . H . Roebuck . Collections were made on behalf of the Sunday school connected with tbe Society , amounting to upwards of . £ 18 .

      New Jerusalem Chapel . —On Sunday , the 29 th ¦ ul t ., two excellent discourses were delivered in the New Jerusalem Chapel , Embsay , by the . Rey . J . Bayley , from Accrington . The first was on "The fall of man . " The preacher on this occasion powerfully and eloquently described the disorder * and convulsions of outward nature , as also the mu ^ ries to which mankind are liable ;; showing that they could be referable to no other cause , than to a moral or spiritual depravity existing in the minds of men . The attention of the auaience was then

      directed to the fall , as described in Genesis , and the spiritual interpretation of tbe divine recordI ; this , and the manner in which the speaker handled the much agit&ted question of { he origin of evil , showing its perfect compatibility -with the divine attri butett < u wi&dom . and goodness , and the true nature of man as a moral and accountable agent , must , we

      think , bavs been extremely gratifying . The second discourse was on "Heaven and hell , and the origin of > ngdls and devils . " In this discourse ^ the Rev . gentleman , in the . 'finjft place * endeavoured to show , on scriptural ground ^ that : Heaven was a place and a state of indescribable happiness , the result of order , health , and activity of the . soul , producing the niost symmetrical beauty ; and grandeur withont , or to the external appearance of the angels ^ the internal principles pi goddness and wisdom going forthinto outward activities of mutual ^ tiseruluess one towards another , and at the same time aiding arid assisting man to ' . . ¦ . .

      clearly , however , proving that as no happiness could accrue frdmastate of inactivity or idleness , thattherefore the spirits of the just made perfect , ru . ust . be engaged m some active employment , riot iu one monotonous emp loyment of singing the praises of God , or of sitting down and . feasting witli Abraham , Isaac a « d Jacob , but in employments of endless variety , suited to their various and ever varying capacities , of doing good to each other , and making each other happy . Hell , it was also shown , was also diametrically opposite to "heaven ; and that , therefore , as heaven was the abode of unutterable happiness , hell \ yas the dwelling of ineffable misery and woe ; the infernal beings fostering no other principles than those which , are calculated ¦ ' to . ' produce , disorder and anarchy in their own minds , and the direst passions in the minds' of others ; the exhibition of such pr inciples being always attended with

      and adu ( n > bratt ; d by the most haggard , ' and . ' horrifying forms imaginable , andtlivir activity accompanied with pain the most acute , and sorrows of the deepest and blackest die . All their misery originating iu " their ^ orni that never dies , and their fire that is aever quenched . " la conclusion , Mr . B . forcibly proved the doctrine of the New ' . Church ,, that angels and devils were once men , vindicating the Diviue Being from the partiality of creating one order oi beings in a state of exalted delight and happiness , while .. another has to pass through toil , and pain , and trial of every ' kind , to reach the happy goal , proving , I ' rom Scripture , that whenever angels " are mentioned , they are invariably called men , and good men , in the sime book , are sometimes called angels;—and hence proving the truth of the celebrated Dr . Young ' s remarks , that

      " Angels an ; men , in lighter habit elail , High o ' er celestial muuntuius wing'd in ( li ght , And men an ; yhgels , lu ; uk * d for an hour , " ' ifec .

      TnoTTiNG Match for 100 Sovereigns . —This event came off , according to appointment , on Saturday morning last , in Leeming L : ine , near to Borotighbridge . The match was us follows-. —Captain Taylor , of York , bet Mr . Kirby . t 100 that he could not produce a horse , mare , or gelding , that could trot 17 miles within the hour . Saturday being the day appointed , a large muster of horsemen , &c . had assembled ou the tine of road , which was eight miles and a half outj and back again . The match was accomplished in 58 minutes , and 5 ( 1 seconds , by an old chesnut mare , which Mr . Kirb y had got out of the south ; she broke once after goingabout four miles and was turned round , and her rider stopped haltway am took a glass of wine . The mare did not appear to be any way distressed .

      TETTERS ALL'S . —Tuesday . The room was very , fully attended , but business was hot ho brisk as recent events at Newmarket and the near approach of the Derby led us to expect . Grey Momus and Phoebus still occupy the lending stations in the Derby betting , the Grey in considerable favour at diminished odds , the other remaining as he lihished last week , and very feebly supported , Cobham opened at 10 to 1 , was afterwards backed at a point less fot . 4 : 100 . and at the close of the day was hot in any particular request . Young Rowton's friends are so lukewarm that we e ; in merely quote the nominal odds against him , and the advaiice of Cobham put Nonplus on the : shelf-it present . A trifle was laid put on Ion , at 14 to 1 , and several bets taken

      abimtD'Kgvi ) le , fifstat 20 and aftewarda at 18 to 1 ; guided guided by the feeling displayed , we should say that heis likely to take a stil ] higher ground before the day . Bullion , Conservator , arid the Ear ' y liird are quoted at the highest prices we beard offered—we are not aware that either was backed outright . 2 , 000 to 60 was backed against Drum-Major , but as 1 , 000 to 20 was afterwards laid , we have thought it safest to g ive the highest quotation . The Oaks was a very dull affair ; Ninny and Brown Duchess have sprung a point or two each , owing , no doubt , to the signal defeats sustained by Dnique , Glenara , the Fairy Queen , &c , having material ^ weakened the field . The following statement comprises pretty nearly all that was said or done till half-past six o ' clock .
