      THE MUTILATED BODY AT LEEDS . XDJOUiHED IJfQBEST . The adjourned inqneat to enquire concerning the death of & female nnknown , which was recently found in the cut an Knostrop , was resumed at the Court House , Leeds , on Monday evening last , before John Blackburn , Esq . The Court having been opened , Tae CoaosEa enquired of the Policeman , if he had any further evidence to offer , and having been answered in the negative , he said that the last time they met , enquiries were directed to be made of the lock keeper if any strange vessels had been known to stay in the cot , under any circumstances , beyond the time necessary for them V > do bo , and about the

      period when it might be supposed the body was put in the water , and in answer thereto the lock keeper said that no vessels , so far as his knowledge went , had remained in the cut ; coal boats had done so , but only under ordinary circumstances , and nothing defiaite could be gathered from this circumsiance . With regard , also , to the young woman missing from Coat Hill , near Halifax , the police had that morning received information that her body had been taken out of the navigation at Salterhebble , on Sunday . There was , therefore , no necessity for prolonging the inquiry further , as if any thing should subsequently transpire , the case would be quite safe in the . hands of the magistrates .

      Mt . Womebsley , one of the Jury , inquired if any thiag had been heard of the young woman who , at their last sitting , was stated to have been missing from Stanley Ferry ! - The Coroner . —luquiriea have been made , and it appears she left htr uncle's honse , stating she was going to obtain a situation elsewhere . Her friends had no reason to doubs this , and the impression on their minds is , that she has obtained a situation in some distant part of tie conntry . This was satisfactory , and the coroner then proceeded to sum up the whole case , which he did in the following words : — It appears from the evidenceof Austin and Dale that n the Sunday , the 29 th ef last month , they saw something floating in the river at Knostrop , which , on being brought to . shore , turned out to be the trunk of a female . The same snhstnnce had been seen about the

      same place the day before by Mrs . Dean ; and , although curiosity led her to touch it with a piece of stick , she had no idea that it was part of a human body . The place where the trunk was discovered and its immediate locality affords no evidence worth commenting upon . Immediately npon the discovery , however , the witness , Jonathan Bean , in a hasty and somewhat unfeeling manner , recommended that the trunk should be buried , and accompanied his recommendation with an expression which , at the time the evidence was given , might probably create an unfavourable impression ; still there swas nothing in bis conduct but what was perfectly TeconcHeable aad consistent with an entire ignorance of any previous knowledge of tbe body . It follows , therefore , that no importance whatever can

      fairly be attached to anything which occurred either in the finding of the traafc or in tbe interral which elapsed before it was placed into the custody of the police . From that time te the present , notwithstanding numertu 3 reports , and communications of a private nature , nothing has transpired to lead to the idendity of the feody . It remains , therefore , for you to consider your verdict upon the evidence which has been adduced . The medical evidence wn leave no doubt that the trunk was that of a woman who had arrived at maturity , and whose age had probably been about twenty-five . From tbe same evidence it would appear that death had arisen from hemorrhage produced by violence of some description , but the absence of the head and the

      upper and lower extremities must leave it a matter of conjecture as to the nature of the violence offered . The mutilated state of the trunk , its having been exposed to the action of fire to a considerable extent , and then having been thrown into the river , are circumstances so utterly at variance with tbe probability of death having resulted from natural causes , as to raise an irresistible inference that *• most inhuman and revolting murder *>»» been perpetrated . Among the numerous conjectures which have been ventured . there was one which atfirst sightseemad to havesome plausibility in it , and that was the hope that the trunk in question had been in the hands of medical students for anatomical dissection ; but when you consider that the trunk itself , while containine so many of the organs of life , had been

      snbject to no dissection whatever—and that the limbs had been separated in a rough and unskilful manner , the presumption is , I think , repudiated . There is also the further fact , that after death , and before the upper extremities had been removed , the body had been most extensively burnt , and this of itself wonld serve at once to disprove ; the assumption that it had been the act oi a medical student If the body bad been obtained for anatomical purposes , there could have existed no reason or motive for this mutilation and concealment . To argue upon tbe possibility of the positioD just alluded to , you must believe that death arose from Datnral causes , and that seems improbable from the medical evidence . Strongly , as it might have been hoped , for the sake of humanity and tbe state of civilization * n which we live ,

      that this had been tke work of a medical student , land without jumping at once to the conclusion that a murdtr has been committed , this appeared the only feasible explanation of tbe cireumstances , ) I am bound to say that all the evidence goes to negative such an assumption beyond any reasonable donbt . On the other hand , revolting as such conduct "would be considered , and greatly as it would be condemned , the offence would be aggravated by suffering the public excitement to continue . An ample confession ¦ would , in such a case , be both honourable ard palliating . It iB impossible for the medical men to speak with absolute certainty as to the preci&e cause of death ; but they consider that the empty condition of the heart and large blood vessels , and the complete absence of any traces

      of TOsgnla in them , together with ihs bloodless condition of the viseera , are strong grounds lor coming to tbe conclusion , that death resulted from hemorrhage , occasioned by violence ; and they cannot reasonably account for death in any other way . Tee evidence then must bring you to the conclusion t&at death arose from violence , and you will have to say whether that violence had been inflicted by the female herself with a view of committing suicide , or whether it was thPTesnlt of accident , or whether some person or persons unknown committed murder . Medical evidence negatives the idea of suicide , and it would , I fear , bo stretching the imagination too far , and indulging in a

      most-f ntile hope , to suppose that tbe violence had been accidental . All the circumstances of the case—the mutilation—the burning—the violence to the chest after dsatb—the concealment of the rest of the body—the immersion of the trunk in the River Aire , and the total absence of any excuse or imaginable motive for such ' a course of-proceeding must , I think , bring yon to the painfnl conclusion that the woman , whoever she may , be , has bees most barbarously murdered . If yon can see any groundb for reasonable doubt , you will find yo * r verdict accordingly ; but if yon agree with me that the evidence is dear and convincing , yon must find a verdict of WSfal Slnrder against some person or persons unknown . . '

      The Jury then , without retiring , nnanimonsly ; returned a Verdict of " WILFUL MURDER i

      AGA 1 KST SOME PERSON OR PERSONS UNKNOWN , " I Ai the termination of the enquiry , Mr . Ralph j Markland , one of the Borough Justices , entered the room , and on being informed of the result expressed i his entire acquiescence ; and stated that the matter j being thus left in the hands of the Magistrates , on j their behalf he might say that no ironble or expense would deter them from the fullest investigation of . every romoor that might afterwards arise , in order , j if possible , to remove the veil from this hitherto j mysterious case . He thanked the Coroner and Jury i Sot Ibeir great attention to the matter .

      AIiFRETON . —At a meeting of rate-payers here , the other day , it was resolved to discontinue the services of a paid constable . Chuech-Ratk Meetikg . —On Snnday , February 12 th , a notice was posted on the door of the parish church , Sutton-in-Ashfi > . ld , Notts ., calling a meeting of the rate-payers , to be held on the 17 th instant , at eleven o'clock in the forenoon . At the time appointed , a number of working men and a few of the middle class attended . The Rev . William Goodacre unceremoniously took the chair , and introduced the business , when it was moved by Mr . John Butterworth , and seconded by Mr . Benjamin Burton , " That a rate of twopence-halfpenny in the pound be granted to repair the church" , &c . Mr .

      aamuei i " ox , moved , and Mr . Henry Butterworth seconded as an amendment , "That tbe consideration for granting a vote be postponed till that day twelvemonths . " Bat the Rev . Chairmanlpositively refused to put the amendment . Mr . John Tomlinson said , that as the chairman had refused to do his duty , he Bhonld move that he leave the chair , which being seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , on being put to the meeting , was carried by a large majority . But on the Rev . Gentleman refusing to go , it wa 3 stated that Dr . "W lkins of Nottingham was ousted out of the chair ; when he replied that he might have to be ousted ont of it . Itjwas then ! moved by Mr . John Tomlinson , and seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , » l That Mr . Joseph Robinson do take the chair , " which was carried by a very large majority . But still the Rev . Gentleman would not vacate the chair . The meeting then placed another chair for the elected chairman , which he took .

      but being low in stature , he arose and mounted a settle , that he might have a better view of the meejting , when he put the amendment , which being put to the meeting , was carried without any opposition , the Cburchmtn being ashamed to hold up their hands . Having failed in this point , Mr . John Butterworth demanded a poll , which was appointed to take place on Monday , the 20 th inst ., in the vestry , between the honrs of tea and four . On Monday last , both parties being in attendance , at ten o ' clock , the polling commenced , but owing to the general poverty of the people ( as all were required to be up with their rates ) and the unwillingness of the greatest part of the middle class to pay , the voting went on very slowly . _ When turned three o'clock , the churchwarden in attendance said that he had just received information that the polling was illegal , and soon after closed the book with the consent of all parties .

      For the amendment 47 Against 9 Majority 58 When will class made laws and a church supported by fraud be abolished i Speed the Charter J NOTTINGHAM . —A delegate meeting of the framework-knitters of the counties of Nottingham , Leicester , and Darby , was held on the 20 th of this month , at the Plough and Harrow Inn , Nottingham . A good nnmber of delegates were present . It was unanimously resolved , " That . the statement of regu lation agreed to by this meeting ghall be printed and circulated among the hosiers in the said counties without delay , and that the deputation appointed by thiB meeting shall afterwards wait upon the hosiers , and respectfully solicit them to adopt the same .

      TODMOEJDEN . —On Monday night , according to notice , a meeting of the freeholders and ratepayers was held in the large room of the Golden Lion Inn , to nominate twemy persons , out of which the magistrates are to chose constables for the ensuing year . Previous to the meeting taking place the League had sent round a man to get all the lackies and lickspittles they had at their call to attend ; but it was all to no purpose ; the lads attended , and the first business was electing a chairman , which resulted in placing Mr . Robert Brook in that situation . The list which they moved was met by an amendment , which was carried ; and the whole twenty are of tbe right sort .

      MANCHESTER . —Doisgs of thb Le ^ suk . — The Anti-Corn Law party are endeavouring to get up an address to their pet , Dicky Cobden , purporting to be from the working men of Manchester , and in order to accomplish this they dare not go to work in that honest straightforward manner that men having truth on their side would adopt , namely , call a public meeting , and put Mr . Cobden and his doings to the test by taking the opinion of the working classes in a fair and open manner ; no , they know full well , that if they were to do so , that the working men of Manchester wonld prove to the world that they have no sympathy with Mr . Cobden , nor his " Free-trade" humbug . Tney are sending circulars to the various factories , calling upon the employers to send a delegate to a meeting , accompanied by the following address to Dicky the Rover : —

      " To Richard Cobden , Esq ., Repre-entaiive of Slock port , in the Commons House of Parliament ^ " Sir , —We the undersigned operatives in the employ of , Manchester , address you as the leader of tbe great movement in favour of ' free-trade , ' to thank you for your past exertions , and to urge you '« o future efforts on behalf of the oppressed and suffering industry of this country . England produces a greater quantity of manufactured articles than tbe people with tbeir present means of purchasing can consume . The land of this country under the influence of tbe so-much

      boasted system of protection , doeB not produce aa much food aa is requisite fur tbe subsistence of tbe people . The Corn Jj ^ ws and other monopolies prevent the exchange of our surplus manufactures lor the food of other countries , and thus reduce the demand for our labour , lower our wages , and prevent us from obtaining a sufficiency of lood , and leave us in a state of privation and suffering , whilst tbe industry and commerce of the country are made subservient to tbe supposed interests of the unjustly favoured , landed aristocracy , to whom all other classes are sacrificed .

      " You have nobly struggled to free onr beloved country from the thraldom of Landlord monopolies , and to exalt the condition of the great mass of the people , by endeavouring to provide an enlarged field for the exercise of their iiidustry . Allow -us to in treat you to go on , being assured that in this noble struggle success will eventually attend your effort ^ as the triumph of justi ce in our holy cause must be certain . Our zealous co-operation shall be freely given , and we hope that the workicg men through tbe kingdom , whatever may be their political opinions , will unite together to assist you to destroy the accursed Corn and Provision Laws , and thus strike dff the shackles from our industry , and restore to onr distressed country , prosperity and happiness . With gratitude we subscribe onr names ,

      ' , Here follow the signatures . ) The circular in which the address was enclosed called upon the masters to see that a delegate was sent to a meeting to be held at the Bull ' Head , London-road , on Friday evening , at eight o ' clock . Were these delegates to be elected by the workpeople 1 Not a b > t of it . The employer was the party who sent the representative ,--not to represent the feelings of his workfellows , nor hi 3 own opinians , but the will of his master ; and ., as might be expected , the meeting was composed of their , "lickspittles" and overlookers , with a very few exceptions . Nay , in fact , there was one master there who actually stated that he was the representative of his men . However , theie is seldom a meeting without

      some good Chartist getting into their assemblies . But , notwithstanding their exertions , there were very few delegates assembled : and even those , on account of one or two good men being present , could not agree among themselves about passiDg the address - , the honest part of them wanting to have a public meeting of delegates to be called . But this would not answer their purpose ; and the Chairman , who h a well-known tool of the League , distinctly stated that that would not do . But he thought that Mr . Cobden would come to Manchester about EaBter , when it might be safe to call a public meeting in the Free Trade Hall ; and there ib no doubt bat it would be filled with the working classes . We beg leave to tell him that if they dare to call a it shall be

      public meeting in the Robbers' Hall ; well filled with the working classes . And further , that if Mr . Cobden will only have the honesty to come before tne working men of Manchester , they will give hkn to enderstand that they are well acquainted with the question of free trade ; and also of the objects of himself and bis colleagues . Bui why not call the meeting now ? Why put it off until Easter 1 Will the people be more wise then 2 The League stated broadly , at the late banquet , that it was the people ' s ignorance thai kept them from joining them . Will that ignorance be removed at Easter ? Not a bit of it . What is the object , then We perfectly understand the matter . Tne League imagine that the poor fellows that are to be made

      the victims of their " plug revolution" will by that time be locked up ; and that by this means the people's " barking dogs" will be removed , and therefore , they think that they can first divide , and then devour the flock . We beg leave , howerer , to tell them , if this be their object , they are " reckoning without their host ; " and this they will find , if they will comft boldly before the people . Let them not lay the flittering unetion to their souls , that there will be no one to prevent them from thrusting their follies down the throats of the unwary part of the community . We earnestly hope , however , that they will call a public meeting ; and if they do , we promise them that taej will not have it all their own way , without the Chartists having a say in the matter . —Correspondent .

      True Wisdom . — " A wise general on the eve of battle makeB a proper disprsition of his forces beforehand , aud does not wait till the enemy has made an attack , and thus , by forethought and due preparation , reasonably expects a victory ; thus he who has a desire to attain a healthy , and consequently happy old age , does not indolently wait for the attack of the enemy , which is sickness , but is constantly on his guard against his insiduous approaches , by paying proper attention to the Btate of his health . Many would fain occasionally use medicine to assist nature in her operation , but like a mariner at sea without his compass , knowing not where to steer , they first tTy this , and then that , and meet with nothing but disappointment ; to these , how welcome must be the important fact , that Parr ' s Life Pills are now proved to be all that are required to conquer disease and prolong life .

      The Glasgow Unemployed . —A few of these wretched creatures were employed this forenoon in breaking the ice in our streets , at the rate of Is par day .

      Accident at Sea . —During the severe gales at tbe beginning of last week , while the jsloop James , of this port , waa beating off St . Abbs Head , the mainsail , in jibbing , suddenly struck the captain , Mr . G . Anderson , and threw him overboard .

      Destruction of Trevuchan Turnpike Gates . — Last Monday at midnight a mob of forty or fifty persons desiroyed two turnpike gates at Trevuchan , in this county ( Pembrokeshire ) , one leading to Tavern-spite , the other to Lampeter , and entirely demolished the turnpike-gate house , out of which the gate-keeper had gone a little time previous for the night . The mob were observed to ; come- up to the Lampetre-road , and only three or- four of them had disguised themselves . There can be no doubt that these men were from the Eaglish part of Pembrokeshire , as a person who secreted himself in a garden just by the house had watcned their proceedings and heard them converse all in English , which seomad to be their vernacular tongue , and not a word of Welsh was spoken by any of them . These

      gates are on the Whitland trust and repaired by the parishes , which seem to be the principal grievance . The excitement still continues in the lower part of Carmarthenshire , notwithstanding the discharge of the military and pensioners ; and seme of the less educated people pretend to have Scripture warraut for their doings , quoting the 24 th chapter of Genesis , as . follows : — " And they blessed R ibekah and said uutoher , thou ahalfc b « the mother of hundreds of millions , and thy children shall possess tho gates of them which hath them . " f his text which is somewhat applicable to the situntion of affairs near St . Clear , is preached from and expatiated upon by many itinerant preachers , and the multitude dbubtless believe they have a warrant for their lawless doings . Great credit is due to the magistrates for thb mfapures they have taken to abate liie disturbance .- ;— Welshman .

      Birth in the Snow . —A fow days since , a young woman named Janet Campbell , wife of Robert Bain , resident at Trantlemoro , StrathnUadalo , was on her way to her father ' s , who resides a £ Farr , accompanied by her sister and a young man named Angus Gordon . When about two miles past' Leadnogullem , ( it was then ten o'clock at night ) , she felt the pains of labour , and Gordon immediately started off to Kirtomy to procure assistance ana a conveyance , leaving the woman with her sisteri behind . Tho snow at this time was lying deep on the roads , and it was with tho greatest difficulty a cart could travel

      over it . When the man got back again with blanket *) , &o ., and a bed to place the woman upon in the cart , he found her lying on the stfow in the middle of the road , having being delivered of a fiue boy about a quarter of an hour previously ! Her sister stood by her in the greatest distress of mind , and nearly perished with the cold , having stripped off almost the whole of her own clothes to put about the young mother and her infant son . The parties were carefully removed , and both moiher and child are doing remarkable well . —John O'Groat ' s Journal .

      Appalling and Fatal Accident . —A poor man named John Newton , aged 42 , and residing in Paradise-row , Chelsea , was , on Saturday noon , returning home from Tooley-fctreet , Borough , with a waggon heavily laden with grain , the property of his master , Mr . James Hornsby , coal and corn merchant , of Ebury-wharf , Pimlico , wheu by an accident not yet to be accounted for , he was , while proceeding along the Broad Sanctuary , near Westminster Abbey , run over by one Of the fore wheels of his jwaggon , when , tho huiacs being obojjjroJ i » j a > ntiu . ii >»« r before the other wheel could gain upon him , he wag conveyed straightway to the Westminster Hospital , where the house surgeon pronounced him to bo , upon examination , quite dead ; although , when first brought

      is , he evinced symptoms of animation , by a move ment of the under-jaw . An inquest Was held on the body the same evening , at the Duke of Ormond's Head , Princes-street , when a verdict of " Accidental death"returned , with adeodand of ls . ion the waggon . Mr . Higgs , the coroner , remarked , that it was asinfcular accident , that , in a tuoroughfare so eminently public as the Broad Sanctuary , there should have been no persons passing by at the time of the accident , from whom to elicit some particulars , as to the manner in which the deceased came by his awful death , save the two strange jyoung men on deposition , who could only say that | they saw poor Newton lying cramped or doubled up , ou some newly-macadamised road , between the shaft-horbe

      and the fore-wheel , which ere they could approach to his assistance , passed completely * over bis body , which , bleeding profusely , presented to their eyes , they said , " thq most horrid sight they had ever witnessed . " Mr . Hornby , who was ] picsont at the inqaest , deposed , that the deoeased was sober in general , and was such at the tiru-3 he ieft his wharf in the morniug , and that lie was not iu the habit of " tiding upou the shafts ; " which previous lo tkia investigation , had been suspected , byjnearly all present , to have been the oause of ino catastrophe . But he was , by his master ' s statement , troubled with a violtnt cough ; and the conclusiou binauitaneously drawn from this , was , that having . arrived at the

      place above-mentioned , his foot tstutubioa against the rough macadam , whi ^ h caused him to full ; and being then seized with couching , w ; ts unable to re-gain his standing , or call to tho hurscb to stop , before the wheel ( as above ) passed over him . In about an hour afterwards , his wife was conveyed to the hospital by some hucaauo fri n ' ^ when she was ushered into the waiting room , wht re , being , shortly after , informed that her husband was no more , her cries and lamentations became immediately so distressing , that all attempts to pacify her proved unavailiug ; and , in the evening , at Jthe Ortnond'a Head , ( where thej iuquest was holden , ) she was seized with hysterics .
