      OVXXDEN RADICAL ASSOCIATION . —This ASSOoation is doing very well , and has lately comjDenced 10 bold discussions on various subjects . The following are a list of questions to be discussed , the first having been disposed of , viz .: — " What is the cause of the nation ' s distress ? " " "VTbat is tbebest means to do away with this distress ? " " "What is the National Debt ? " " "What was it contracted for ? "' " Have we any right to pay the present rate cf interest ? " . . -

      Phbekoloot . —Mis . Hamilton , the female phrenologist , from Scotland , has delivered a course of three lectures on tie above subject , in the Old Assembly Boom in this town ; the la * t of which was on the rights o . women to an education equal with the men , taken in connection with that science . She is also engaged in giving cerebral developments of the human head . Nobthebx Star . —The shareholders and other friends who are admirers of the principles advocated in this above-named paper , met at the Labour and Health , Southgate , in this town , on Wednesday evening last , for the purpose of celebrating , by a friendly dinner , the first half-year which has given

      birth to so distinguished an advocate of popular principles . After the cloth was withdrawn , Mr . H . Rawton was unanimously called to the chair , and opened the business of the evening by a neat speech , in which he remarked that the liberality-of the propr ietor was even greater than the shareholders bad any just right to expect , as he had only given a guarantee for fire per cent . ; but that he had caused to be placed in bis hands wbat would pay to each person 10 per cent ., and he was most anxious to pay it over to them , if they would only call npon him for it . Mr . Robert "Wilkinson rose to " propose the first toast— " The liberty of the Press , " and prefaced it by some shrewd and well-directed remarks in reference to those authors who had been the best writers

      in defence of the liberty of the people , commencing with Junius , Leigh Hunt , Cobbett , and others . The next toast was proposed by Mr . T . Cliff , and ably supported by Mr . William Thornton , with his asual warmth and patho 3 that be manifests on all subjects in which he takes delight , and concluded by reading the toasi— " Feargns O'Connor , Esq . the proprietor of the Northern Star , and may be still continue the undaunted advocate of the people's rights , so as to secure to himself in perpetuity the confidence and esteem of the wise , the virtuous , and the good . " Drunk -standing . Mr . Tetley proposed " The Rev . Wm . HilL editor of the Northern Star , and

      Bronterre O'Brien , Esq . a writer in it : may they ever advocate truth for the love of it , fighting the battles of liberty against the advocates of tyranny and oppression" Drunk with the same honours Mr . Cliff then gave " The shareholders in the Northern Star ; and may the interest which has already been awarded to them prove a spur to further exertions in the good old cause of Radicalism , and be hailed as the harbinger of a future and more complete triumph . " Mr . Rawson supported this , was followed up by Mr . Wilkinson , who gave a very

      flattering account of the present prospects of the Star ; and also expressed , at the same time , an encomium on the Leeds Times , for its able advocacy of the people's cause- After this , Mr . Cliff moved a vote of riianVa to Charles Hooton , Esq ., editor of the Leeds Times , which was seconded by Mr . Tetley , and carried , unanimously . The worthy host and hostess were highly complimented by the Chairman for their liberal conduct in providing so abundantly for the occasion , and the excellent cooking they had displayed ; after which their healths were drunk . A vote of thanks was moved to the

      Chairman ; and the meeting separated in good order , each being well pleased with the evening ' s entertainment . Brotherly Lote , ob bow to obtain Knowledge . —Acquisitiveness is the darling attribute of some men , and , not unfrequently , rules predominant in the breast of » dd individuals , even in the eame family . Two brothers , of the name of Smith , one of them rending in the town , and the ^ other at Bradford , and both of them endeavouring to obtain wealth by the most easy and ready methods the present circumstances of society will ad fflit of , have recently had an encounter wkn each

      other before the magistrate * .

On the watchman going his rounds , he heard , or fancied , that he had heard

      some one about the premises , but could not discover who or what ; bat , on leaving the watch in the morning , he communicated the circumstance to his employer , which caused the master to be on the Alert , and to stop up , looking oat of the chamber window , after the watch was gone . The watchman ' s ordf-r and practice was alirays to leave the &Ux Bnlocked when he left the watt * in the morn'ng . Shortly after this a nub wm made in at the gate * , which , on the master perceiving , he prepared himself for down stain , and went in search of the delinquent ; and , on ~ entering * the fl ± C 9 where tie machine was , he there found a pemon with bis

      paper and apparatus , all in roll order , taking the Taachin ^ . Oa perceiving th » , the man wm Mixed , and carried off to the drawing-room of Mr .

Clarksou , solicitor , appeared for the complainants , and stated that Samuel Bower was the owner of property at Bunker ' s Hill , Bradford , to which his brother , the defendant , bad made a claim , but was legally ejected . Shortly after possession being

      obtained , under "Writ of Ejectment , Samuel Bower and his son George , ( the other complainant ) , were proceeding with Mr . Leonard Metealf , a builder , to take levels for the erection of certain buildings on the property , when the defendant , who lives near , observing them , went and threw down the level , struck bis brother , and knocked him down ; and upon George going to the assistance of his father , the defendant pushed him away and hit him on the bead with a heavy piece of wood , and the blows broke his hat crown . The defendant ' s misconduct rendering it impossible to proceed with the levels the complainants were obliged , to desist , and resort

      to a court of justice for protection . Mr . John Bower , supported by Mr . "Wagstaff , for the defendant , contended that the magistrates had no jurisdiction , alleging that the assault arose out of a dispute to property ; besides which the Lord of the Manor put in a claim . Mr . Clabkson replied that possession being legally obtained , the dispute was ended ^ and called Mr . Samuel Atkinson , sheriff ' s-omcer , who produced the warrant , under which he had given possession of the premises to Samuel Bower . " Witnesses were nlso examined , who proved the assaults , and the defendant was convicted—penalties and expences— £ 2 10 s .

Mr . Bell is known to have been a loser of a splendid fortune by his speculations in Radical papers .

      Dk . Hook . Christ Church Sunday School . —On the afternoon of Sunday last , Dr . Hook preached in Christ Church , in support of the Sunday School attached thereto . The Church was crowded to excess ; dissenters in abundance had repaired thither , to listen to the bold and excentric anatfeematiser . The preacher virtually claimed for the members of the Church of England , an exclusive r ight to the felicities of Heaven , and implicit submission to its doctrines and observances , was the summum bonum of Christian perfection . The collection at the close of the sermon amounted to £ 51 . The morning ' s collection was £ 17 , and the evening ' s £ 14 .

      Something New . —The Tories in their attachment to their new name have lost no opportunity of blazoning it before the eyes of the public . The wall ; of Bradford , daring the week , have beeu labelled with blue placards , announcing that " the Bradford Juvenile Conservatives" will dine together at the Nag ' s Head Inn , on Friday , May the 5 th , ' and some of the more impudent of their numbers have been canvasang the town for subscriptions to their baby guzzle ; babies only and boys under the age of eighteea , are to be admitted .

      . How to get x Joint . —On Monday last , James Fletcher , of Bradford , woolcomber , was brought up at the Court House , as a rogue and vagabond . It appeared that Fletcher and another man , went on Saturday night to the stall , in the market , of Joseph Jackson , butcher , and having selected a joint , went into the shop and had it weighed . The weight was 6 Albs . After it was bargained for , the other man walked off with it , and Fletcher remained for the apparent purpose of paying for it , but when the man had escaped , he said it most be a trust bargain , as he had no change . As this waft not the first time the same trick had been played off . Jackson sent for the constable , and gave Fletcher into custody . The magistrates committed him to the House of Correction for one

      month , as a rogue and vagabond , he being found ia the market for an unlawful purpose .

It is reported that poor " Sandy" was so terrified at the supposed visit of a certain black gentleman some time ago , as to alarm the whole neighbourhood in which he resided .

The defendantdeniedthathe was drunk ; and declared that he had not used the language attributed to him .

      He called as a witness , Richard Harris , who stated that he came from Pembroke , in South Wales . This witness deposed that Mr . Brierle ^ fhai , used a good deal of " sauce" to the defendant . ' - Mr . Maude . —What do yon mean by " sance , "my man ? "Witness , why , when Thomas Holmes was lighting inVpipe , the constable knocked his head against the chimney side , and poshed him about . Mr . Maude . — "Well my good fellow , I think that's more like " basting" than saitce "— ( laughter . ) J ^ ow you have stated that Mr . Brierley sauced the prisoner by which I suppose you mean , he made ? se of improper expressions , we therefore want you to tell us what he said

      The witness fenced a little with the question , but would net be induced to give a direct I answer . Mr . Maude . — -Mr . Brierleyhas denied what you say , and we believe he would he sorry to speak anything but the truth , we want you to do the same . Witness . —Ihas done , I has spoke the truth . Mr . Maude . —But you must tell the whole truth , and if you will not "do that , you may stand down . —Mr . Brierley said , he always used his best endeavours to get the people out quietly , and with as little disturbance

      as possible . —Roberts having been sworn as to the truth of the complainant's statement , the defendant was ordered to pay 14 s ., penalty and costs . Defendant .--If I had been stopped on the highway , I should then had a chance . Mr . Maude . — 'Why , do you mean to say you would rob somebod y ? If yoa do , there is a law for that as well as drunkenness . Defendant . —I mean to say it ' s a dead robbery , and it ' s no use bringing witnesses or . anybody else here . The defendant then left the box , " muttering something to himself .

      HUDDEBSFIIXD . Adjourned Meeting of Guardians . — On Monday next the Huddersfield adjourned meeting of the guardians takes place at eleven o ' clock in the forenoon . Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., will be again in attendance to aid in the great and good work . The meeting will be an open one . The Whigs are whispering that constables will be in attendance , but a majority of the guardians are determined to meet without a body guard , particularly as a number of disputed returns are to be settled . They

      remember that a few weeks ago , some who came to claim their seats were kept in the street , while their cases were being settled within ; thus rendering the elections a mere farce—thus insulting the rate payers , perverting justice , and' taxiDg- us with wages of idle men , who ought either to be attending their own business , or seeing that justice was being done them at the meeting . We must stop both their ways and their interruption , and they must be made to understand that it will be more honourable to lay aside little brief authority th / n , and on ' all such

      occaons . Hand-Loom Weavers . ——A communication from the hand-loom weavers commission has been received at Huddersfield , and it is expected that evidence will be takeH on that subject , not only there , but throughout the manufacturing districts . Are the weavers all ready ? Have they committees in every town and village in the West Riding ? If they have not they are much to blame ; as a general

      and clear showing of the mistrable state' of that body here , in Lancashire , in London , in Ireland , and in Scotland , must convince any human being that a change must take place , or that dreadful consequences must result . At Huddersfield , a meeting of the hand-loom weavers and their friends , takes place-at the New Inn , on the evening of Tuesday next , at seven o'clock . It is hoped that other towns are also prepared .

      Mr . Thomas Kaye , who was elected guardian of Hepwortb , upon his pledge to oppose the enforcement of the law , has in every case voted for its enforcement . The Graveship of Holaie has obtained thd appellation of the Bastile country , and the Omnibus that runs belween there and Huddersfield , is called the Bastile Mail . Blessings of Church Rates . —On Tuesday last , a distraint was made upon the property of two of the Society of Friends , not 200 miles from Mould Green , for the payment of the Church Rates , which they , of course , had refused to pav ;

      and owing either to the " unsullied and pure justice , " and wise discretion on one part of the Bench , or the inexperience and immature judgment of tfee other , or the neglect of the Clerk , the Bailiffs , or the Churchwardens , or of all of them , fell into error , and actually made a distraint upon one person , a clog and patten maker , shoe dealer , &c , for eight shillings and three-halfpence , instead of eightpence three-farthings , and took away three pairs of ladies boots , value £ 1 2 s ., anc from the other , rate 4 s . 9 d ., 13 s . 9 d . ia sugar , all of which they took to neighbouring public house for sale . When the Churchwarden began to remonstrate with the Bailiffs , and say they had done wrong , the Bailiff declared he was right , and the fault

      must have been in the Clerk , or the Magistrates : the Churchwarden declared he was right , for he had explained the thing to the Magistrates , and displayed his book , containing the above items . Not meeting customers to suit the ' . r prices , the spoil was carried off by a noted drummer , in full style , to the Bull and Mouth Inn , Huddersfield , where he thought he could dispose of the boots , and could apply the sugar to bis own coffee . These are nice pickings ,. but the Broad Brims care very little about it , as their friends in London will indemnify them . " Would to God they had their eyes open , and would n « t suffer themselves and their friends to be robbed in this way by a set of careless officers and bad laws . "

      BAHKSLET . Slavery Emancipation . —On Friday evening , a public meeting was held is the Odd Fellows ' Hall , Barnsley , convened by the constables , in compliance with a numerously signed requisition The hall was crowded to excess , Javis Brady , Esq ., in the chair . The Revds . Joneph Armitage , and Tranter ,- Joseph Scobles , Esq ., Messrs . Harvey , Parker , Scales , Cruickshank , Bayldon , Whiteley ,

      and Newberry , addressed . Resolutions were passed , to the effect that it was the duty of every British subject to seek the total and immediate termination of the cruel syxlem of apprenticeship in our colonies ; also a vote of thanks to Sir George Strickland , and their regret that Lord Morpeth had disappointed the expectations of his most zealous friends , by voting against the measure . The meeting , which was numerous and enthusiastic , did not separate until eleven o'clock .

      DZTWSBUBYV Petty Sessions . On " Wednesday last , George Greenwood , of Gelder Lane , was brought before the magistrates J . Ingham and John Haigh , Esqs ., at Dewsbury , charged with stealing a horse , the property of Mr . Bolding , of Gelder-laue . ' . The prisoner was committed to York to take his trial next assizes . Thomas Fozard , clothier , of Batley-Carr , was also brought before the bench for ill usage to his wife and neglecting his family . It appeared that Fozard had been to fetch the constable to take his wife to the asylum , but it was proved that the wife was in great distress , and the surgeon ' s opinion was that the woman's insanity had been caused by ill treatment . Fozard was therefore apprehended and committed to the Wakefield House of Correction for one month for such ill treatment .

      Factories . —— "We understand that a public meeting on this subject is to be holden in tae Philosophical Hall this evening . "We hope the men of Huddersfield will shew themselves in round numbers .

      Embezzlhmbnt . —On Wednesday week , when the parents of the children whe attend the Primitive Methodist Sunday School , Dawgreen , attended ; for the pvrpope of withdrawing the money which had been deposited weekly , great was their surprise and astonishment , at no one attending to pay them . Upon further enquiry , it was found that there was only £ 43 in the hands of the treasurer towards defraying £ 130 , which had been deposited in various sums from eighteen-pence to £ 18 . The gross miseonduct of the parties concerned in tfaia most nefarious transaction is highly reprehensible , —Front c Correspondent .

      KEIOfHLEY . Sermons . —On Sunday last , on the occasion of the re-opening of the Lord ' s church j in King-street , Keighley ., two'sermons were preached by the Rev . ¦ W . - Hill , from Hull , in the morning , on the true nature of the human Soul , and its connection with the spiritual world , '' and . in the afternoon , " on the doctrines of redemption and salvation . " On both occasions the church waa filled , butin the afternoon it was crowded to excess ^ The importance of the subject *) commanded the most implicit attention on the part of the congregation , and a great effect was evidently produced by the- simple , but impressive and thoroughly argumentative manner . in which these important matters were hnndled by the preacher . The forenoon's , discourse might more properly be considered a lecture than a sermon . It embraced a full

      consideration of all the objections urged by materialists of every grade against the existence of spirit , and the immateriality of the soul . It also exposed other misconceptions of a more popular character upon this subject . The motto of the discourse was the very appropriate words from the 8 th Psalm , " What is roan ? " The afternoon service was unusually long , being extended from a quarter past two o'clock , till after five—the sermon occupying nearly . two . hours in the delivery ;; during which , long period the congregation manifested the most marked attention , though they were yo closely packed as to render the heat excessively oppressive . Collections were made after each service in aid of the trust funds .

      ROCHDAIJ 3 . Mr . Aclaxd ' s Visit To Rochdale . —This gentleman has been here to defend the Poor Law Amendment Act against all objections , and to prove it an impartial , ibeiievolent , and humane enactment . With respect to the qualifications of this gentleman , nothing more need be said , than that the bill standing in need of measureless impudence , insolehce , arid petulance , on the part of its advocates , he is perfectly equipped with all these rnBch-needed endowments . He was , however , very well met in discussing the raeasure , and he failed in every instance to establish his position . ; The discussion occupied two nights , Monday night the 23 rd , and Friday night the 27 th

      ult . The importance of the discussion consisted in its testing the public feeling . The opinion of the working classes and the Radicals is well known , and stood in need of no such circumstance us this to manifest it . But the importance of the discussion consisted in its shewing up the Whigs , and in dragging to broad , open daylight their opinion npon this measure . And for once , their usual cunning forsook them , and they manifested most clearly arid unequivocally , but certainly most imprudently , their ardent attachment to this Mil . In any other point of view the discussion was comparatively of no moment ; the demerits of the bill being beyond alldiscussion . The working classes have lone since made up theirmirids

      on the subject from a knowledge of its workings . The Radicals here detest both the bill arid all who advocate it . They conclude , and very justly too , that those who hold with the bill , be they of what party they may , are their bitterest enemies . They Know it is intended to lower wages , and to bring the wprkr era to coarser food . They ; have , therefore , on all occasions , given vent to their opinions and feelings most openly and unsparingly . Fhis opinion of theirs is so well ' . known * - ' that the Whigs have never before dared to say any thing in favour of the Pp 6 r Law Amendment Act , except whenparlonred together ^ or sitting in close comriiittee . S p convinced ; were they of its unpopularity , that their candidate at the late

      elections was obliged to declare himself opposed to the introduction of it into the niaiinfacturingdistricts , and also , that if he found it not to work well in the farmiug pstrictn he . would vote for its total repeal . The Tories , for the very same reason , were flaming Repealers . Repeal of the Poyr Law Amendment Jet ! No Bastile I No Skiflif ! was all their cry . The Whigs here were considered to be of a better breed than many Whigs , but Mr . Acland ' s visit has torn off the mask . It has stripped the wolf of its sheep ' s clothing . Itha * unkennelled the badger and shewn hira np to a fair ° nen ^ fight * It has exposed the _ sneaking , mean , unprincipled , and dirty faction , in its ' tnie Colonr . At tb « WLselnnira iha Whtnro mni . '

      tered very well . T ^ ere were there many of the most influential of their party ; and they manifested most unequivocally their ardent love of this bill . The eyes of the people are , now opened ; the iUni is Temoved ; the Whigs are exposed ; their hypocrisy is made manifest ; and their hidden love of craelty and contempt for the people has risen to the surface . We now know fully who we have to deal with , and what we have to do . Henceforth , there is nbt v there cannot be , any bond of tmidn between the Radicals and the Whigs of Rochdale .. The thread is but , and the Whigs have themselves to blame for this Reparations Itis worthy of notice , that Mr . Acland waschallentred

      to the public discrission of the rherits or demerits of the New Poor Law , by a yoHng inan in his audience , on condition that the proceeds of thebonsa ffcould be given to some charitable institution .
