      DEATH OF SIR WHEEDLING WHIG-> "O-MORE . We hare this day 10 record the raelanehoJy demise of Sir Wheedling Whig- > o-More , who expired in distressing cirenmsiaaces at his residence , Downing * street , on the : ^ ih nk . The deceased bad , for ten ye 4 rg , beer ..- ' . rui' ^ ling with a complaint in the head , which gr-a-. ' .. impa . / ---i hi = intellect , and rendered himrabirc ; co u : s of erttraYag&nce and insanity , that tended ; o bring his pra ' . ra ^ -t-e d ^ afferin g ^ to a close . To a ^ Tivsre hLs miseries , ihe firm he belonged to - Finality ard Co . —had for many years been in a Tery embarrassed c-ondirion from the want of credit , and their goods being unsaleable , till s . total bankruptcy followed—the creditors refusing all compound , on the ground of fraudulent management . Sir Wheedling ' s general character was a compound of Taniiy and hypocrisy . He frequently boasted hia ability oi putting the firm on a secure foundation ,

      and obtained for this purpose Tarious large snrns from ids confiding friends , till the secret got wind that Sir Wheedling acd his partners were squandering : he profits of she concern among their dinerent reiatiTes , and the building of stables , beside impcrtk ? shoals of Germans to eat sau ? ages a : the expense of his creditors . "Sir Wheedling was too far exhansi ^ d to mak a a fnll confession of penitence ; but ;" us : before his last breath , Le motioned to those in attendance , and uttered mth great dificn ] rythat , in extenuation of his suffering he had entailed 02 his poor customers , who had lost in the purchase of his co"Eterfeit gooes , that he had made provisions in his Trill—Ui&i his friends should be Tnh' . en to on the continent u > send OTer some cheap torn for the beseS : Olz '* qs * he had ruined . S ; r Wheedling expired through pure exhaustion—when his executor-, on examining his affairs , frund him : n arrears to the extent of are iniLions .- ~ Sco : iU / t Patriot .

      TflJE WATKLXS AND WATSON DlS ^ rSSIOX IO THE ZD 2 T 03 O ? THE NORTHERN . SIAB . * iS , —Beirg one of the chairmen appointed to preside over the Public Discussion between Messrs . watson and Watkins , at the Hall of Science , City ivoad , on Tuesday evening last , I of course had no opportunity on th ' at occasion of expressing my sentiments on the questions at ii = ce between the respective parties . I now therefore trust to your impartiality for liberty to express my opinions through the medium of the extensively read columns of the Nortien Star . I &m anxious for that publicitv

      to avow mj convictions . bo ] d ! y and regardless of personal consequences , in order that no man shall oppose I ¦ vrish to shelter myself nr . C-. r the shield of Neutrality , or that I would silently allow of , thereby sseitly ^ consenting to , the infl . iction of injustice on fflea wh 0 , in my conKience , from long observation , * nd intimate acquaintance , I believe to be of good -wrai character , unsullied political integrity , and the Jealous frieEds of the liberties of the people ; in other TQids . of the principles of the People's Charter—I a yiliiam Lovett and Henry Hetherington . I will now as briefly as I can " state my reasons for dissenting fro m a proposition that " the charges made by Mr . Waiki p are fuUy ertablished , " and also for protesting against the competency of that meeting to decide the question .

      REASONS For di-sen ring from the proposition " That the charges made by Mr . Watkins are fully established . " 1 st . Because Mr . Watkins having charged Mr . Loveu ^ th " echoing ( in ths pamphlet called Cnmi = m ') the Whig cry that the people are too

      Untitled Article

      igBbraat t « Td « . entrusted wiflt the ' Safinnp this charge , was , in my opinion , fully disprOTedlby Mr . Watson , who read serewJ passages from Mr . Lotetrs book , erpmaljf" SitcVed against , and pointsdly ooademnfcgBUca a doctrine . 2 nd . Because , Mr , Watkios having charged Mr . Levetfc with entering int » « compact to aeU the people , instancing as proof an interview of Mr . Loyett with He . Homo and others , respecting * propps *! of the latter to effect a onion between the middle classes and the Chartists ; this charge was also directly refuted by the testimotfj . of Mr . Vincent who wu present , to the effect . that Mr . Lovett refused to acoept the proposals of Mr . Home , stating his determination not to connect himself with an agitation for any object short of the People ' s Charter .

      PROTEST Against the competency of the meeting to decide on thetrnthor falsehood of the charges made iy Mr . Watkins against Mr . Hetherin ^ ton . ' . 1 st . 'Because Mr . Watkinfl , having asked why Mr Watson took upon himself the defence of his friends , and why they did not come forward to defend themselves , gare as a reason that they either tworSd not or dared not . Mr . Hetherington * on presenting himself to the meeting , was in violation of all fairness , and with the most unmanly , nay , cowardly and brutal menaces of personal violence , refosed a hearinz .

      2 nd . Beeanse , in consequence of snch refusal , and of the disorderly and disgraceful conduct of the "discordant spirits , " the "barking dogt . " as Mr . Watkins ' s chairman called them , and with the concurrence of my brother chairman and of Mr . Gardner , the moderator , declared the meeting dissolved , and Mr . Cameron also rose for the same purpose , but amid the clamour and tnmult that snsned he was induced contrary to his previous determination to submit the . notion and amendment , the meeting howeyer ( by its conduct in refusing a hearing to an accused party , as also by the act of one of its ehainnen sanctioned b y the other , and by the-moderstor ) having become incompetent to decide on such motion and amendment . 3 rd . Because I will not participate in , or sanction by silence , the injustice of men who give ear to a slanderer ( who offers no proofs in support of his calumniator ) and convict an innocent man unheard .

      TO . THE EDITOR OS THB TJOBTHBBMrSEUU : . Sib , —I waa reflecting npon the multitudinous sins committed Against the people by fhfer&se&lly Whigs ; I wugl * d At the thought of the benefit which would aecroe to the cause of universal liberty through ; tbe exertions of the UN-caged « Lion f I felt Borrow tlx&t victims should yet remain in the grasp of the oppressor , and I sighed for the restoration of The Factory Child ' s Friend , " when my cogitations were moBt pleasantly disturbed by a visit from my old friend , Mr . _ Mark . Crabfcree , holding in his hand a letter from Lord Ashley , which ie requested me to peruse . I did so , and also took a copy thereof which I hand orer to you , as I think it worthy of insertion in the people's paper . The foliowiB « r is » copy of the

      letteri—. September 4 th , 1841 . Mr . Cbabtbeb , —In answer to your enquiry on behalfof the operatives of the West Riding , I have to reply , that an office was tendered to me by Sir Robert PeeL Having , however , ascertained from him that his opinions on tbe subject of the Factory Question were not matured , and that he required further time for deliberation , I declined the acceptance of any place , under circumstances which would impede , or even lunit . mv full and free action in the

      advancement of that measure whioh I consider to be vital both to the welfare of the working olaBses and the real interests of the country . In taking this coarse , however , I neither express nor feel despair . It will be your duty and mine , not only to persevere , but to redouble our efforts ; and I still entertain a hope that Her Majesty ' s advisers , after an investigation conducted with sympathy and candeur , will , under God's good providence , give us all an answer of happiness and peace . I remain , Your very obedient Servant ,

      Ashlet . Mr . Mark Crabtree . ' Now , Sir , I am not one of those who would blink the good and praiseworthy deeds of men , merely because there is a discrepancy of opinion exists between them and myBelf on certain points , but by whomsoever laudable actions are performed , the just meed of praise ought to be tendered to them . It reflects lasting honour upon Lord Ashley to spurn from him the prize of the ambitious and factious rather than sacrifice the canse of the ill-treated and toil-worn factory slave ; such noble actions are of rare occurrence , and ought not to pass unnoticed . Would to God that many of our senators would imitate the example . I thank him for this proof of M % si&csrity and disinterestesdness , and 1 doubt not that every friend to the factory Blave

      will feel greatly rejoiced at this manifestation of principle . Sir , is it not strange that Sir Robert Peel's opinions are not yet matured upon this question ? He has heard the mass of irrefutable evidence adduced in both Houses of Parliament—he has seen the country agitated throughout upon the subjecttbe petitions of tens of thousands have entered his ears , and yet his opinions are not matured ! What shall I say \ Why I must pronounce him either a fool or a hypocrite—the former I verily believe him not to be , therefore I must consider him to be the latter , and I trust that , ere long , he will throw off the mask and prove himself worthy his high station , if not his power must pass away . Ten Hour men , rally round Ashley . Youra truly , William Rider . Leeds , Sept . 9 th , 1841 .

      SUNDERLANT 3 . —Men and Mastess . —Mb . Lewis again ]—Oa Thursday week , this now celebrated personage was again summoned before the Bench at Suiiderland , for non-paymeut of wages due to Thomas Duke and three other workmen , who were firemen at Bishopwearmouth Iron Works , of which Lewis is manager ( manager , indeed !) The case was before the Court three several times , and Lewis called on each time before he appeared ; at length he appeared to answer the charge preferred against him . He had the professional services of J . JT Wright , Esq ., a most glib-tongued limb of the 2 aiv : the men had engaged hlr . Cooper In their behalf . Thomas Duke sworn—Was fireman at

      Bishopwearmouth Iron Works . Claimed 12 a . of Air . Lewis , being the balance due to him of one month ' s wages , at 18 s . per week . There were three other firemen who had a similar claim against Mr . Lewis . Was engaged at 18 s . per week , and continued to receive that sum until the last mouth . Recently the Company , at Mr . Lewis ' s instigation , he understood , had introduced a system of settling with the men only once a moDth , in 3 tead of every week , as formerly . They paid so much at the end of a fortnight , which was called subsistence money . A fortnight ago , when he went for his wages to the o&ce , he was offered 30 s- for one fortnight s wages ; he refused to take it . The cletk told him to take it , it was only " subsistence" money ; the balance due

      to him , 6 s . for the fortnight , would be paid at the end of the month . The momh expired on Saturdaj hst , when he went for his wages ; he was again offered oniy 303 . for the fortnight ; refused to take it . Was told be would get no more . Tho clerk who was paying the wages , told him to go to Mr . Lewis if he wanted more . He went ; Lewis 6 aid it was quite enough ; asked him if he did not know the wages were reduced . He replied no ! he had receivea no notice . Lewis then haughtily told him to go away ; he would give no more . Afterwards he said he would give him 16 a . per week . Witnesses were then called to prove that the regular wa # es were 18 s . per week , that no notice of a reduction had been made . Here Wright , attorney for Lewis , read a paper shewing that the men were not

      employed by Lewis , but engaged by tho engineers , uud Had to be paid by them out of their receipts . The magistrates i :. r-iired what the wages of the enginemen were , * and were told by one of them , that the sixpence per ton had lsti ihem between h : m and another , only 17 =. 3 d . lor a fortnight's wor : c , or ¦ Li . "id . each per week ! This was all they had after paying the firemen . Tue magistrates here cried shame , shame , but Lew i , with ihe coolest impudence , was perfectly insensible to shame . Dixor , one c ? the enginemen , was called to prove that Lewis had promised him , that should the sixpence a ton not pay sufficient , tha ; the wages of the firemen should be made uy by Lewis . Ho refused at the end of the first fortnight to take the work lo .. jrer

      by the ton , and they thea Tevtned to the old mode of payment . Weatfaerhead , one of the firemeu , was called and gave evidence of a similar character . Lewis was then caLed upon . He bwore that the men were not his servants ; that they were employed by D ; xon and the other en ^ incaien . In reply to a question from the bench , he said that he never aiipulated to make up the deficiency ( that might happen by taking the work by the ton ) in ( ho firemen ' s wages ; he never mentioned a word about the firemen 'n his agreement * viii , Dixon . Mr . Simpson , one of the magistrates , then immediately referred him to his own protended air ; ement , which he bad pat into Court , and a ^ ked him how lie coulJ reconcile his assertion wiih that paper .

      This was a poser . He was completely nonplus-sed . Mr . Simpson , perceiving it , bluntly told him , that although he would not en 11 him a liar , yet it was his opinion he could not speak the truth . This biting and just remark was louiily applauded in the court . Lewis was then liberated irom his unenviable position , and ihe cashier ci'b i . Wheu passing by Lewis , the latter attempted to whisper something tu him . This immediately called forth a severe rebuke from the bench . The cashier then swore that the firemen were not employeJ by Lewis ; but upon bein ^ asked whu authorised him to pay thenj , he said he did no ! know . The magistrates , disgusted at the reckless swearing of these respectables , stopped tbe case ,

      telling Le vis that they would let him see that in that court working men should have both law cud justice . They then ordered Lewis to pay the amount claimed , together with all costs ; at the same time plainly teding hia ; his conduct was most disgraceful . After this case , an application was wade co the Bench fov another suuimons 8 gaii ; st Lewis , for a turn oi , £ 10 I 63 . due by him to some masons , but the magistrates learning that the work had been taken by contract , informed the applicant » hat jt was out of their jurisdiction , they informed him that he miyht commence an action against Lewis for the recovery of it . Proceedings have since been taken , and if Lewis does not learn wisdom in the meantime , or his employers compel him to save them the disgrace , there will be a nice exposure next Assizes .

      A 6 C 1 DEMT OK TUB GbEAT WbSTEBN RaIIWAT . — SeveiulPassbngkiis Injured . —Yesterday , throughout the entire day , mnch excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of the terainnB of the Great Western Railway , and even in tbe City , in consequence of a report having obtained extensive circulation that an accident of a frightful character , and attended with loss of human life , had occurred on that line to the up mail train from Bristol . This was in some measure corroborated by the lateness of the post delivery of letters from the western part of the kingdom . On instituting inquiries into the matter , it was ascertained the report was not without foundation , as the following particulars , obtained from an offioial source , will testify . It appears that the mail

      train from Bristol , which was due at the Paddington terminus at five o'clock yesterday morning , not making its appearance for some time after that hour , considerable excitement and apprehension was manifested , and a pilot engine was despatched thirty or forty miles down the line , to ascertain if anything had happened , but it returned without any intelligence . The apprehension of danger continued on the increase until a few minutes before eight o ' clock , when the mail train arrived , and the cause of its delay was ascertained to be as follows : —Nothing whatever happened to impede the progress of the engine and train until its arrival at the eighty-seventh mile-Btone from London , about four miles on the other side of Wootton Basset , and nine from

      Chippenham . At this spot , owing to an extensive slip la the newly-formed embankment , one of the rails got displaced , and shifted outward . Oa the arrival of caucea the former to go oft the line at full speed into the embankment , in whioh it became embedded to a considerable extent . The sudden stoppage of the train caused a tremendous collision between the carriages , two of which were literally washed , and the guards and engineers were thrown off with considerable violence . As soon as the confusion , occasioned by the occurrence , had , in some measure , subsided , inquiries were made as to the state of the passengers , several of whom it was feared were more or less injured ; and it was ascertained that

      one , a gentleman from Devonshire , bad got his aucle broken in a shocking manner , and was otherwise seriously injured . Another gentleman had his ancle sprained severely and was cut by the glass . A third gentleman had met with several bruises about the body , and a fourth was severely cut with the glass windows in tbe face , as were also ether passengers more or lesa . The guards were also cut and scratched about the face and hands , but , singular to relate , the engineers escaped without any injury . The sufferers were conveyed with all possible speed to Wootton Bassett , where surgical aid was promptly procured , and , with the

      exception of the gentleman who had his ancle broken , they were in the coarse of the day enabled to proceed to their places of destination . The former , however , still remains there in a very bad condition . Immediately on the intelligence reaching London , Mr . S . Clarke , the chief superintendent of the line , together with some of the directors , proceeded to the spot , and entered into a minute examination of all the circumstances connected with it , and to see that proper attention was paid to the sufferers . They found them to be as described above . After a delay of about three hours , the line was cleared of impediment , and the guards , engineers , &c , were sufficiently recovered from the shock to resume their duties .

      Conskchation of iiu ; New Parish Chcrch of L . BBD 6 , — -The ceremony of the consecration of the newlyrerected Parish Church of Leeds , which has been rebuilt by the voluntary contributions of the InhabitantB , took place on Thursday last , the 2 nd of September instant , before one of the most numerous and r . expectable , congregations ever-assembled in any parochial place of worship . His . Grace the Archbiahopof York , the Lord Bishop of Ripon , the Bishop of Roes : and Amyle . and the Biehopof the State , of New Jersey , ia North America , were present on the occasion , and took part in . the ceremonies . They were attended by two hundred and sixty clergymen

      in canonicals- —a most imposing sight . The act of eon-Becratum was performed by the Bishop of Ripon ; the Bishop of Now Jersey preacbad the sermon ; aud the Archbishop of York administered the sacrament , lathe evening of Thnrsday , and twice yesterday , the services were continued . The collections on Thursday amonnted to rather over £ 700 . The Vicar ( Dr . Hook ) has introduced into the service much of the display and ceremonial show which characterises the Roman Catholic services . The church ia a beautiful structure , erected from designs by R . D . Chautrell , Esq .. a gentleman whose skill and experience in Church Architecture will bear comparison with that of any living artist .

      Botanical and Zooumhcae Gabdens . —The Directors of this fashionable and beautiful resort deserve 'he support of their fellow-citizens in their indefatigable efforts to cater for their amusement . On' Wednesday evening ' , a brilliant and . varied display of fireworks , , under the direction of Mr . By water , attracted a numerous and respectable company . : The utmost success attended the exhibition of all the devices , which gave general satisfaction , especially the concluding one , called the " Temple of Peace , ' whioh elicited cordial and universal approbation . Tho evening was moonlight , which perhaps took away something from th effect of the artificial productions of human

      ingenuity , but most certainly added to the attractions of the beautifully laid out grounds . The band from the Barracks were in attendance and enhanced the scene with excellent music . We congratulate the Council on having at length resolved to throw these gardens open on the Sunday *» d thereby afford their poorer brethren , who are compelled to toil during the week , an opportunity of enjoying that pure and refined pleasure , which such a place as this is bo well calculated to impart , and from which unfortunately , the cant and hypocrisy of rich "saints" have too long debarred them . We trust that this liberality will be duly appreciated and supported .

      Hunslet . —Mr . T . B . Smith will preach three sermons here on Sunday , ( to-morrow ) in the morn ' ing 1 at half-past ten , ( weather permitting , ) on Hunslet Carr , and in the afternoon at half-past two , and in the evening at half-past six , in the Temperance News Room ; tbe two latter services , are for the benefit of the Sunday sohool recently established in the said room , and to which parents are affection ' ately invited to send their children . ' On Tuesday evening , a public meeting will be held at Stock ' s Hill , for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for the abolition of the atrocious silent system .

      Unemployed Operatives . —The following circular has been issued by the Unemployed Operatives ' Enumeration Committee ot this Borough . We trust it will receive attention from all working men ; and that some means will be devised for affording prompt present relief ; and that the sickening sights of destitution which are afforded by tho labours of this Committee will operate on the trades generally as an incentive to exertion for that political power whence alone they must look for permanent relief : — "Sir , we are instructed by the Unemployed Operative Enumeration Committee , to requost that you would convene , the men employed at the same place as yourself at as early a period as possible , in order that you may have an

      opportunity of urging tne peculiar ciaimB wmen tne committee have upon their co-operation and support . The committee is composed entirely of operatives ; the greater portion of whom ate at present in employment , but who feel called upon to exert themselves in behalf of their more unfortunate brethren . It is a lamentable fact , that the extent to which poverty , destitution , disease , and misery , in all their varied withering aspects , abound , is comparatively unknown to those whose station aud influence incur the responsibility of these dire calamities . Hundreds of willing industrious artizans are pining in obscurity ; their cheerless dwellings rendered Btillmore desolate by the absence of all those artioles of household furniture which

      constituted at once the pride and comfort of their homes ; having been reluctantly disposed of to appease thegnswings of hunger . The roads leading to and from an the manufacturing and commercial towns are literally crowded with tramps ; some begging , others , whose prouder gpirits cannot brook the degrading reflections which even a stealthy mendicancy induces , may be seen weudiug their weary way to they hardly know or care where . Surely this everlasting sbame to a civilized country ought to be made manifest : the number aud circumstances of our unemployed brethren must be ascertained and

      declared , facilities must be afforded to those who are disposed to effect a permanent amelioration of the daily aggravating sufferings of the people . For this purpose you are earnestly requested to co-operate with the Enumeration Committee , whose object is not to engage in political party warfare , but to ascertain and declare facts ; appoint a delegate , who will be added to the Committee which meets in the Ola George Inn , every Tuesday , at eight o ' clock in the evening . u James Rattrat , Secretary . " William Cliff , Treasurer . " John Speed , Chairman . "

      Adjourned Inquest . —On Saturday evening , the adjournedinquest on the body of anew-born infant , found in a box in the Leeds and Liverpool canal , a fortnight ago , a notice of which appeared in onr paper , was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , Esq . The only additional evidence produced was that of the waterman , John Abboit , who found the box . He stated that he had risen at break of day to go with his boat to Liverpool , and whilst drawing the clough of the first lock , after leaving the Union Company's warehouse , he saw tb < -- box floating ; he thought it was a fruit box , aud threw it ; onboard his vessel . He cut the cord by which it was tied , and the child fell out , upon which he called his wife up , and fetched a watchman . No further evidence could be got , and the jury therefore returned a verdict of " Found drowmd , with no evidence to show how or by what means the bruises had been made , or how it came iuto ine water .

After hearing all tho applicants had to state , aud inspecting the testimonials , plane , models , &c , the magistrates retired from the coon to discuss the propriety of granting tha applications .

      : en o'clock . It appeared , from the evidence of an old man , who saw the train passing , that previous to passing under the fifth bridge from Leeds , the deceased climbed from the tender oa to the top or the hret waggon , on which he was standing upright when his head came into forcible contact with the bridge . On being removed to the Infirmary , his scull was found not to have been fractured , but compression of the brain had produced a stupeiaction ; which ended in death in a very short time , rae evidence of Mr .
