      vMch I neTer was favourable ; considering it to be too coniplicated and too inexplicit ever to work well . So for as the present law has nad the effect of Introducing ' a relay system , it may have afforded relief tojonng children- I quite agree with yon that to a young person whe has worked twelve hours a day , all attempts at education must be absurd , and 1 still thinfc that a more ample enactment , upon the principle at least of the Ten Hoars' Bill , would be protective of more good . Young children ought , however , to be the first objects of attention , and if a Ten Hours' Act wonld be for their advantage , rarely an Eight Hours' Act , if really and truly carried into effect would afford themsdll greater relkt

      I remain , - Your obedient Servant , GEORGE STRICKLAND . y > AT . ty ^^ g . Heptoxstaxi .. —On Thursday , April 19 th , pursuant to public notice , a meeting of the rate-payers of the township of Htptenstall , was holden in the Vestry of the Parish Church , for the purpose of Selecting two fit and proper persons to serve as Churchwardens for the ensuing year : the Bev . J , Charuock , Incumbent , in the chair , who conducted himself very honourably . But three of the " 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 3 . constable , should be taken to the lockup ; but in consequence of there being no other constable but himself present , the motion was not put from the chair . Two wardens were elected , uho did not meet the approbation of some of the '' respectable , " one of whom said , that , tbe " non-Tespectables" had no right to vote ; but on being told "that every rate-payer has a right to vote , ano-I&er objection was made by the " respectables" to the above two wardens , on the ground that they are incapable of keeping the church in good repair . — Wed , says one of the " nonrespectables , " they will be able to keep the church in as good repaiT as it has hitherto been kept : especially if they bring in

      such bills as you brought in for certain repairs ( not here named ) . " Q" bring thee before thee betters for that , " says a respectable . " Wry well , answered a" nonrespectable , " I have plenty of witnesses ! " Respectable : " " O'lbet tewhattelikes on ' t . ' A voice in the meeting : "We are not come here to bet wagers . Hate-payers of Heptonstall , come forward and proclaim your right ? , and be no looser defrauded by those who call themselves " respectables , " who , by extravagance and want of JTidgment , 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 the title belongs to those trio assume it in this township .

Bentley had made a slight mistake ; thai the factory question certainly was anything but " settled , " , as Mr . Bentley and Ms Mends would perhaps shortly find out ; but that tie operatives were quite ready to help all sincere advocates of JJegro freedomj to get emancipation ibr the blacks , without the compensation , which Mr . Beatiey used to plead for . Query—Had not Mr . Bentiev the circular of the Manchester millowners

      in his pocket all the time he was prating about the factory question being settled ?

      "Wjlkkfield Toung Men's Litbbaby De-BATINO Societt . —We are please d to perceire that Has institotion continues flourishing . For some time given gobjects for discussion were the order of the day ; but at present , essays are read , and controversial questions are discussed alternately . Recently , a Tery elaborate and talented essay on "Geology" was read by Mr . Walker , which was practically illustrated by fossil remains , specimens of strata , stratified shells , & £ . Theessayist demonstrated , in the most intelligible way , the various cienc

      depositions of the strata , the utility of the « e , and it « 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 .

      Ai / vebtbobpe Poor House . " —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 kiudly 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 breaking up of this place has cast a k ind of gloom over the village . Every inhabitant looks upon this ocenrrence with feelings expressive of

      sorrow , while words of disapprobation of the new syitemare indeed not a few . It has roused the working men , who consider it as an unjust and unwarrantable encroachment on , and usurpation of their rights . Truth might as well be spoken ont ; they seem rife to manifest who are the powers that be . The enforcing of the New Poor Law against the wishes of the people , baa -verily laid the axe to the H > ot of the existing method of governing , and although it be as stubborn as the oak , it mnst at length yield to the repeated blows that most assuredly will be levelled at it . The law makers have laid hold of the hives , and have brought the working bees about their eart > , and we congratulate them on their company .

      Obatobio 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 the debt upon the Towns' Free School which has recently been taken down and rebuilt . When it is known 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 charitabl y

      disposed will have a double gratification in being present at the performance , viz . they will have a rich musical treat , and the satisfaction of knowing that the proceeds will be judiciously applied in teaching to read , " and write , a number of the poorest 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 .

      Wo&kxkg Men ' s Association . —The Eev . J . "Cajoeron continues his lectores , on " the anatomy and physiology of the human frame , " to the members of this useful institution . At the close of the lecture , last Monday evening , it was unanimously resolred that 3 public dinner be provided in July next , in celebration of the anniversary of the association , to which several distinguished parrens will , we understand , be invited . Much apo about Nothing . —On Sunday , about noon , tbe inbabitacts residing in the centre of Wakefield , were greatly alarmed by a report that the house of Mr . IUiBgworth , boot and snoemaker , at thebottOHi of Ratten-row , was on fire , and hundreds ef persons were immediately assembled . A thick volur-e of smoke arising apparently fjpm the

      roof , served not at all to dissipate tbeir feare . Posthoives were dispatched for the Leeds and Yorkshire Company ' s engine ? , out of Pincheon-street , which in an almost incredible space of time A \ t ; re seen turning the corner of Kirkgate at a railway speed . Mr . Illingworth ran to inform that their services could be dispensed with , but they heeded him notbut pressed on to tbe scene of conflagration , when an assurance that it was only a chimney that was on fire , and that they would get nothing for their labour , seemed to put a damper on their zeaL Another engine from the police office was also in attendance . While we rejoice that the danger did not correspond with the alarm given , we must say that the celerity with which tbe engines were brought to the spot is deserving of great praise .

      Assault . —Joseph Howard , waterman , was charged before the magistrates , on Monday , by Wm . Seaton , a young man formerly in his employ , with assaulting him on board bis vessel . The assault originated in tLe defendant breaking tbe complainant ' s pipe . Howard did not deny having committed the assault , and be was ordered to pay one pound . The defendant said , "I can ' t pay it . " Mr . Maude : Then you mn » t 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 money .

      BABNSLEY . Funebal of ax Oddfellow . — On Sunday morning last , the members of the Queen Charlotte Lodge , Barndey , walked in procession to Dodworth , and followed the remains of a departed brother , Isaac Bennet , to his last silent home , amidst a large concourse of spectators . Prolific Hex . —Mr . Thos . Hunter , of the Calender's Arms , Barnsley , bas a hen of a French breed , which has laid ten egg * , all completely covered with shell , in the space of seTen days , viz . — two on Sunday the 29 th ult ., two on Wednesday the 2 nd , -and two on Saturday the 5 th instant , and one on each of the intermediate days . She was a last year chicken ; tbe only breed of tbe sort in

      that part is in the possession of Mr . Grove , of Stainbro Inn , near Barnsley , who has tbe sire of tbe hen , which weighs upwards of 121 bs . Accident . —On Thursday week , as two boys named Shaw , one aged five and tbe otber seven years , were on their way home from school , they stopped playing near some coke orens , at Elsecar , near Barnsley , when tbe youngest fell into one of them " , and was so dreadfully burnt , that bis life i * despaired of . It is but due to state that the elder brother , although so young , bad the courage to extricate the sufferer from his perilous situation , although the fire was blazing out of tbe top of tbe oven where the other had fallen into , which burnt bis eyebrows and the other bair about his face .

      Babnslbt Court-Hodse , May 2 .- James Firth was charged , before tbe Rev . H . B . Cooke , G . Wentworth , and J . Thornely , Esqrs ., by Isaac Naylor , " gamekeeper , with setting a snare , for tbe purpose of destroying game , on tie grounds near Wentworth Castle , between seven and eicbt o ' clock on the-night-of the sixth of February , and taking it cp again between twelve and ore o ' clock tbe same night It appeared the prisoner had absconded , and had not been apprehended until this time , wben the case being proved clearly against him , he was committed for eoe month to Wakefield House of Correction , and Mr . Cooke wished it to be knonn that in

      this , and aH 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 in default thereof they would have to remain in prison six days longer . Refusing to Pay Wages . —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 son to Dr . Turton ' s wife for £ 6 for tbe vear , to give or

      receive a month ' s notice . Mrs . Turton said that her agreement with Milner for his son was to be £ 4 . 20 s ., and if he was a good boy she would make it better by giving him the east off clothes of her son , Who is about the same size , which she bad done , having given him a shirt , a pair of stockings , and a . coat . "Yes , " said Milner and I ha ^ e got them vafaed by a respectable tailor , - and he values the coat at 2 . « . 6 d ., the stockings at 6 d ., and the shirt at 3 ^ d . ( This valuation caused roars of laughter . ) The Bench considered her statement to be a correct one so they ordered the sum to be paid in proportion to £ 4 . 10 s .. and costs .

      KEIGHLET . Election of Chief Constable . — -Strange Proceedings at the Court Leet , Skiptos .-t-Ou Monuay the 26 th of March last , a » esjxy meeting was held , when Mr . Thomas Spencer , druggist , was appointed constable without opposition . Uu Saturday last , that gentleman presented bittself a * ttfe Court Leet , Skip ton , to be sworn into office , accompanied by Mr . J . Finn , ' Mr . J . Bedfordj Mr . J . B . Aked , and Mr . R . Stowell . After 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 belore them , and on their duties as Jurymen ; charging them particularly neither to let party , wealth , aor

      respectability , bias or influence their judgments . Alter the other cases had been disposed of , and Keighley called on , Mr . Proctor Hall , solicitor , rose to propose Mr . Joseph Craven and Mr . Edmund Laycock . as tit and proper persons to fill the office of constables for tilts ensuing year . Mr . J . B . Aked then rose xo move that Mr . Thomas spencer be the constable for the ensuing year ; after which Mr . Hall addressed the Court , observing that Mr . Spencer , along with Air . KamsUen , another gentleman , had been constables of Keighleyj and during that time this same Spencer ' s conduct had been of such u nature , that the people of Keighley were literally disgusted with it . He then commenced one of the most shameful

      attacks on the character of Mr . Spencer , we remember ever to have heard , although that gentleman is a man of the highest respectability and honour . "But what , " continuesMr . Hall , " makes Mr , Spencer ' s case still worse , he has the audacity to appear again in Court , although his accounts have never been published . " Here Mr . Spencer , observed that be had withheld publishing his accounts in accordance with the will oi the vestry , whose sen ant he was ; and that those gentlemen who now came forward to oppose him , had never once thought proper to come iorward , for reasons best known to themselves " , to oppose this mode of proceeding . Mr . Hall , in continuation , said that Mr . Smith and Mr . Craven hud 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 Keighley were Tsuch . as do gentleman would disgrace bimst-lf by attending ; being conducted iu amiMt disorderly manner , and composed for the most part of the lowest rabble iu the town ; . a sample of which , they might behold in the persons belore them , turning rvimd and pointing to Mr . Spencer and ItisfneiuU Mr . Hal ] proceeded at great length iu the same strain , alternately blackguarding Mr . Speucer and the ve > try meetings , aud concluded by saying , '" Hut Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen of the Jury , on the other hand , the gentlemen whom I have the honour

      to propose , are men of the highest respectability aud honour ; and to prove to you that it is tho wish oi the people of Keighley that they should be elected , and not Mr . Spencer , I have a petition to greseut to this Court , signed by nearly all the influential ¦ gentlemen of tbe town , including the four magistrates , praying forthftir election . " Mr . Hall having preivmed { lie petitioaje-tiuz . Gtuu $ t sat < ki « -a . Mr . J . B . Aked urged tb * elegality of the vestry meeting , and produced the Parish-book , to show that the appointment of Mr . Spencer was duly entered . He likewise proved the illegality of the proceedings of the opposite party , * ho came , to be aworn in " without being elected by " the vestry meeting , and even without the knowledge' of tbe householders of Keighlny . Mr .

      Aked here produced the Vestry Order liook , which Mr . Hallcock having examined , exclaimed "Certainly , there is a r «;* o ] ntion reported to have been passt-d at a vestry meeting , and signed by one Joseph Firth , Chairman " Who is this Joseph Firth r" Mr . J . Firth , who is a respectable fanner , and oue of the churchwardens , then rose and said , " Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen of tbe Jury—I am Joseph Firth , one ol the sample so eloquently described by Mr . Hall , and chairman of the vestry meeting at which Mr . Spencer was duly elected constable for tbe town of Keighley . " Mr . Firth then proceeded to inflict a severe castigation on Mr . Hall , for his insolence ; and concluded by appealing to the good sense and honour of the Jury ibr 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 . After which , Mr . Hallcock proceeded to charge the Jury ; and though that gentleman , in his opening address , had warned the Jury not to pander either to wealth or respectability , yet oy the frequent references which he made td . ' tiie petition , it was evident that he did all in his power to influence them in their verdict : he argued long and , as he thought , eloquently , on the privileges , age , &c . of the Court of which he had the honour to be Clerk , 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 the 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 . Ballcock : Then yon mean to say that you decide in favour of the persons Tecommftnded by the magistrates . Foreman : Yes . On Mr . Spencer and his friends leaving the Court , M r . Spencer observed , Well , Mr . Hallcock , this shall oe tried at a higher Court . " Mr . Hallcock ( in a contemptuous tone ) , " You have threatened that before ; you may try it . " —This is another instance of the deep-laid plan * of villany so often resorted to by the privileged few in order to gain thftir 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 laid , " You are like a mere automaton wandering up and down the streets , without any one noticing you . " Tbe meanti employed in this nefarious transactioH are as

      detestable as the ends gamed . What can we think of such a man as the sapient expounder of the law , who played such a conspicuous part in the foregoing force , and who aspires to the respectable character ol gentleman : branding , as he did , with being leaders of the rabble , 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 needs . " beaaid of him : the fact of his having warned riie Jnry 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 directl y and indirectly , to prejudice the minds of the same Jury against Mr . Speucer , 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 ! " : : ¦

      Trotting Match for 100 Sovereigns . —This event came off , according to appointment , on Saturday morning last , in Leeminp Lane , near to Boroiijafhbridge . The match was -. is 1 ' oUbws -. —Captain Taylor , of ^ fork , 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 , * large muster of horsemen , &c . had assembled on the line of road , which- " was eight miles and a half out , and back again . The match was accomplished in 58 miniitea , and 50 seconds , by an ' old cheanut mare , which Mr .

' The mare did not appear to be any way distressed .

      TETTERSJLL'S .-Tuesday . The . Toom was veTy fully attended , but business was not no brisk as recent events at Newmarket : and the near approach of the Derby led us to expect . Grey Momns and Pha-bus still occupy th « leading stations in the DeTby hettingf the Grey in considerable favour at diminished odds , the other remaining M he finished last week , and very feebly supported . . - . ' ¦ CoWKain opened at 10 to 1 , was afterwards backed at a point less for jelOO . and at the close of the day was not in any particular request . Young Rowton ' s friends are . so lukewarm that we can merely quote the nominal odds against him , and the advance ef . Cobham put Nonplus oh the shelf at present . A trifle was laid out on Ion ,. at 14 to 1 , and several bets taken

      about U'ligvUle , nTnt at 20 and afterwards at 18 to 1 ; guided guided by the feeling displayed , we should say that he is likely to take . a still higher ground before the day . Bullion , Conservatsr ; and the Ear ' y Bird 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 Drtun-Major , but as 1 , 000 to 20 was afterwards laid , we have thought it safest to give the highest quotation . The Oaks was a very dull affair ; Ninny arid Brown Duchess have sprung a point or two each , owingv no doubt , to the signal defeats sustained by Unique , Glenara , the Fairy Queen , Ac , having materially weakened the field . The following statement comprises pretty nearly alj that wais said or done till half-past sir o'clock . r
