    , at the idea of it . People were accustomed to form their notions from the customs of society , and as the political business of the nation had been invariably tsonducted by men , he thought it strange when it was intended t » prevail upon the women to take part in it . ' . He certainly Tjewed the undertaking as likely to be produt-tiTe ;; of immense power . If the women of England took up the Bubject ef politicH- ^ -if they set about ascertaining the real causes of the misery of thenwfclYes and , familiea , and resolved upon Removing them , there was no doubt they could do it . " If the women woufd-meet , and unite , and co-operate , with due discretion arid determination , they would do more in one year than xae mvn vould by themselves in many yearM . If th * jr husbaud » had paid more

    attention to the business of politics than thev hadif they haSjin year * past , kept a closer eye upon the government , of their county , they would not be in their present dilemma . ' But the fact was , they did not , and the result was , that the em pire was reduced to one common ruin ; its trade was annihilated , and its ptople weighed down with au insupportable load . of taxation . He looked with » nxiety to the result of the women ' s Union which they bad formed . He felt confident thar , if tbey united firm ' y , they would achieve all that was required . They had never yet failed in ailV undertaking , and be was certain ^ if they acted withprutlence and discretion , they would not in the present instance . Mr . Collins also addressed the meeting . — Birmingham Journal .

    ? l * PB 0 M I ) R tJ ? Ji : * NNBss---Oh Saturday evening , Mr . John Bunbrow ' , a young man of c <> nmderabte property , but a notorious drunkard , wai removed from the parlour of th « BlucherV Head poblic-house , at Romford , into the stable , where he was laid npoa some straw in a stall , be being at the time m a ^ gtate of brutal intpxication . The landlord visited him several times during : the erening , and found him snoring . Thinking at last that he had slept enough , the landlord sent his son to awaken him , When the lad returnecl and said he Was dead .

    k surgeon was immediately sent ; for ,.. who , pronounced that he died of apoplexy from excessive drinking . The deceased was ^ about thirty ^ years of ajje , and the patron of the living of the parish in which he resided . His conduct and that of his associates has of late years been disgraceful . — Essex Herald . DkEAD # ut . Murder at Eckington ,--A most atrocious murder was committed at Eckinjjtoh , * ome time in the night between Tuesday and Wednesday last , on one of the worknoea- on the iioftiti Midland Railway j named Richard Sanderfion , sup . posed to . be a native , of Long Sutbni ^ n JAncoln-« hire . The foUowing are the leadiiig circumstances

    On Tuesday eveniBgy thb deceased Was at the sign of the Bear , in Eckington , ; drinkiD ^ with some other * jand y rather late , left the ^ house in company with them . It does not appear ' that any serious quarrel had taken place ; though some angry' words had passed . at the Cross jand they afterwardswalked forward , along the Soutbgate to ai narrow alley , called Rotten-row ,, where John ( Juest , pne of the partv , resided . What passed , there remains to be inquired into ; but i * is quite certain thatftuest ' went into tbe bouse and brought put a blade of a scythe , with which he struck ; Sanderson on , the head , the blow divided the scal p from the corner of the eye , across the t > p of the head , almost to the heck

    behind , and completely severed a large portion of the stuH , and the projecting part of the brain . The sequel is vet involved in obscurity ; but s&veral persions were taken into custody early in the morning and from their own statements , Thomas White , a sawyer , of Barlborough , and obn Turner , the son of apublican in Eckington , were sp seriously implicated , that , together with Guest ,, toey w >? rexeBtlio Cheateifield , to await the verdict of the Coroner ' s inquest . After Sanderson had received his deathblow , he appears to have xtaggered back into the street and repeatedly fallen , tor in the place where he fell there was a pool of blood j and in one spot the detae-hed portion of his xknlL some inches in

    extent , was found on the . pavement , no doubt torii from the flesh i » his agony . He alrerward « struggled amongst the wood in an adjoin > ng wheelwright '!* yard , the blnod still strei min 4 from him , and thertt must have become completely exhausted . .. After daylight , the poor creature was found under a tree in Lady SitwelFs Kchool-yard , but he never could have walked thither ; for it is nearly 200 yards from che spot where the last trace of Wood could be seen ; and so complete was bis exhaustion , thai ; Mr . Ajikham , surgeon , who stood for pome time talking

    with a person ^ between two and three o ' clock , ( certainly after the sufferer has been deposited there , ) and within a few yards of the Hpot , hpard nothing to indicate his being neir . Every possible attention was paid to'him ; but though he lived till three o ' clock on Thursday morning , he never shewed the least aitfn of consciousness . On stripping him , it was discovered he had also refeived a gevere wound in his loins from some wharp instrument . An inquest was held on Friday , before Mr . Hiifehinson , coroner , and a most respectable jury , and after the examination of witnes > es , it was Adjourned until Friday

    next . A Postillion , named Sailes , was driving u carriage , in which were two ladies and two yentlemrn , last week , in the neighbourhood of Streeiham ; beipp drunk , he niifmanaLTfd bis horses , and got the pole of the carnage broken . The passengers objected tp his going on after the carriage was repaired . He insisted on driving , and , after much abusive language , struck one of the gentlemen with his fist . The gentleman retaliated , and knocked him down dead with a single blow . ,

Was it no innovation ( usked Mr . Hausoii ) to make ParliauiHuts . trieijuial , and ' tlmn septennial?—was it iio innovation to : ' trans- !

    port men without trial by Jury . But coming more immediately to our own time , was it no innovation to pass the Irish Coercion Bill?—( which ,, by-tht ? -bye , was one of the first acts ot the' Whig teu-pcmnil Parliament . ) Was it no innovation to , tranKport the Dorchester Labourers ' , and th « Glasgow !

    .. ; ¦ ' — . . ^ i — ANTI-POOR LAW PROCEEDINGS AT DEWSBURY . On Mpnday last , Dewsbury signalised itself by one of those mighly demonstrations against Whig oppression which arc now becoming sogeneralthritugnout the country ^ lit consequence of the uiicourteou « And 'foolish conduct of M ' . Ingham , one of the Ex-Qflicio Guardians ,.. n ' t a former ineetitig of ihftt body , and Of the d ? f turbances which afterwards ensned , a considerable degree of interest was excited as to the probable result of the next meeting . Pt-rhaps , ; however , the timidity of Mr . Iagliam on the one hand , and the niimb « r of soldiers i special coiisSables , and metropolitan policemen , on the other hand , contributed more to excite the ? interest of the people , and to bring them together , than anything else . The facts ofttie late disturbance have alreaJv

    been laid before our readers . Oheot tlie consnquences of that disturbance was a resolution ou tbe part of the opposition Guardians , not to atteud auy meetings of the Board of Guardiaus , until they had memonau ' sed Lonl John Russell relative to the power of th « Guardians « n a body . * Mr . lughatti naving . asserted that he would carry it into effect it he could but obtain two other persons to act with . him . Monday last was the day when the meeting of the Board of Guardians was to be resumed , and much excitenient prevailed as to its result . Early iii . tfie * morning , numbers of . pfcople were observed going towterds the town in all directions ; and a great cwnconrse were asxembled in the market-place , aud near the school-room , where the Guardians met . Ten o ' clock was the time of

    meeting . To prevent disturbances , gnat precaution had been tisad in providing sufficient force , and issuing orders to arrest all person * who were ibund in any way breaking tlie peace . No less than about five hundred special coi ^ tables were ' . sworn , in 5 to these were addeil , three troops of Lancers , con « stiug of forty-two soldiers in each troop ; two troops pf Royal jRiflemen , brought purposely from Hull , of forty in each troop r aud about thirty of the Metropolitan Police . Tni room in Triiicli the Guardians met was guarded both by the Metropoliiah Pulicemen and the spec . al constables , being entirely firled with the jatter class of peace-preseners . A resolhtiou having been passed at the last meeting . of'the Guardians to close them against the public , reporters

    were relused a < lmittance ., We learn « ti , however , that there were ouly seven Guardians present , all of whom were favourable to the law , and the two Ex Qfficios , Messrs . higham aud Hagut * . The only tiusiuf ^ b wliich was transacted wa-: the appointing of two relieviris : officers , who are named Croft and Pickerst'ill ; the former , a clerk with a Mr . Wadswortb , of Millsbridge , and the latter , an assistant overseer and workhouse master at Oiiett . Tjje iioise of the ' special constables , together with the manner iu which the Guardians whispered to each other all that they had to say aud proposer-leaniug over the table at which they . sat , and only breathing all their communications as if they were concocting ffpme diabolical conspiracy—rendered it impossit ) le to hear what was going on . At about halt-uast

    eleven ' 6 ' clock the Guardians seemed to have finished their business , and preparations were then made for removing to the Royal Hotel , About this time , the crowd rouu'l the school room was very gTeat , and a nambtjirofpergdri's ' had assembled themselves in a field opposite . " They made a great noise , and seemed much excited . One of the policemvn was heard to say , "J )'——n them , they'll ijeither do one thiug nor 'tother ; if they'd only Wgin We'd know whpt ' tp do with ' em . " Just as these words were being uttered , a rush of the people prevented our reporter . ; who heard the policenia . n Tinafce use of the WOrdB , from seeing' hisnumbiir , and he wasnot able again to recognize hitn . The whole of the policetuen then foim- d themselves into a double line iu

    the school-room , and Mr . Ingham and his bretbrrn in iniquity proceeded to place themselves withiii the lines foriued by the police , officers . Poor Ingham trembled as if his last moments Were at hand j his fetce alte * rn 3 teJy exhibited a red and pale « ppearanctf , and his legs seemed scarcely able to support his body while he walked to the door .. Then came the awful moment , wheii'he entered the street . As soon as it was perceived that he and " the Guardiaus were ou the move , the people set up a loud shout , Which seemed to be the signal for action . A general rash was made towards the policemen , and a few stones were thrpyfa by the lads in the field . The people then ieenoed to be in a state of tlie . highest commotion , atid hi a few seconds the poiicehad taken three

    or four persons litrp' costody , ' who were observed throwiug stones . It is worthy of remark , however that alljlhe prigoners ¦ whose names are mentioned as' upder , were' mere ' lads , excepting tWo—Brooke and Che old woman , Mary HaVj who was said to be / mfiering parfialiy iauder mental deraiigement Tlie'NeW Pot > r La # fraternity , however , arrived safely at the Hoyat Hptel , Where all , for a while , Seemed ' to be hothin-ij but contusion ; Haying got into the house , they peenpied a large room to the front , which was Iiterally filled : with policemen and ttflemen , and ornamented with knapsacks and rifles iu ' - ' ^^ coplpns ' ' ^^ abuiiijance . \' Tbe ' .
