      HULL . TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . GEsxiSiTEx , —How very delicate our keepers of the parish accounts for Scuk-oates are , in the item of charges upon the commissioner . * ' rate , ' , ' for lighting , watering the streets , ike . " As to escape anv charges of fraud or inconsistency in their demands for tbe extra sums levied upon such of the parishioners who reside in those streets where it is not thought expedient , from the small number , it may be , of influential persons who dwell therein , to water such streets—whereas , it is not at all the less necessary , —not only on the accorintof those

      dwellings , but on the account of the more numerous passengers , —as is the ease in many instances ' , — who throng such unwatered streets . But as I have intimated , thedelicaey of the commissioners , or their keepers of the parochial accounts , not to be so glaringlv or deliberately offensive , have found it expedient , from the unfairness of the thing , being pointed out , to pass a pen over the item » of street watering in their schedule of taxes , delivered to such of the parishioners as aie denied the luxury , or rather , the benefit of such an equally , if not more necessary , procedure . But not withstanding their squeamishness in affecting not to make that a charge

      in the rates demanded , it is presumed , such of us poor devils , as are deliberately or capriciously denied such a benefit , chargtd every whit as much for tbe tune , as those who are fiddled to , in those streets which , and to such of their inhabitants , who , in the wisdom of cur parochial officers rank as A 1 on their list . Is this fair or becoming , gentlemen , to make a general charge for partial proceedings , the benefit and comfort of which is enjoyed exclusively in what are thought to be the don parts of the parish . In future , I trust that our officials will be so far ashamed of < uch proceedings , as to -lay the extra cost and chaTge upon such of the iahabitaiis who enjoy the benefit . I am , Sir , Yours , &c , AX OLD HATE-PAYER .

Knowles are most acceptable to us , for in them we see everything which dignifies the stage and renders it valuable ; tb ^ y " hold the mirror up to nature , " they expose devices , elevate the virtues , and ridteule the foibles of mankind- —and thus

      render serrtce to mpralitsanrTtbrSociety at large . His language is always beautifully poetic , and in accordance with the tefclings of modern times—is free from those gross excrescences . which Are blots upon the writings of many of our . old dramatists . The very title of the play has a charm in it- the " Lave Chase "—it must have been coBG-eived in a moment of happy inspiration , and , with three couples , it is from first to last a true steeple chase . Nothing Mr . Knowles has written excels in beauty the language he has put into the mouth of Lydia—her scene with Widow Green ,-wherein she describes what love i ^ and also her interview

      - with Master Waller , are among the most effective in the play . What a glorious description doe ^ s Sir William Fondlove give of "the pleasant Widow Green ''—her courtesy , walk , voice , her hand and arm , with the '' curved and pliant wrist , " are to the life . But no scene for graphic force camexeeedthat in which Constance describes the delight of the fox-chase . We could , with her , desire to be a " tenant of the merry-wood , and to list their jocund music . " We are tempted to make one-extract from this splendid comedy , and it shall be that tOjwhich we have just referred—from Act II ., Scene 3 : —

      Constance ( cuurtesijing ) . — U'kat delight To buck the ilying steed , that challenges The wind for speed ' . —seems native more of air Than earth ,. '—whose burden only lends him fire !—Whose soul , inhi * - task , turns labour into sport ! Who makes your pastime his ! I sit him now ! He takes away my breath ! -r- He makes ' live reel !

      Nuue leaving his task to another—answering The watchful huntsmen ' s caution , check , orclieer , As steerl Li . f rider ' s rein ? Away they go ! How dosi- they keep tojr . etb . er!—What a pack ! Nor turn , r . or ditch , nor stream , divides them—as They moved with one intelligence , act , will !

Would make a yift of its heart , it is so free ! Would scarce . aec « pt'a kingdom , 'tis so rich ! Shakes hands with all , and vows it never knew That life was life before !

      We have so far spokt-n of the play—the genius of tV . e author was admirably caug ht by the various performers last evening . Of Mrs . -jfisbett ' s Constance it is impossible we can speak in too . high terms—the character is all over sparkling and beautiful—she enters i ' ully iuto the spirit of the scene , displaying to admiration the many beauties , of which the ' part is so full . JSo actress of the present day can approach Mrs . JSisbett in fascination and display of nature . Our recollection goes not back so far as the days of

      ? ome actresses whose memories are embalmed among u- % yet we , last 1 veiling , heard from those whose acquaintance with the stage is most extensive , that , with all those names we . boast , Mrs . Nisbett can stand comparison ; nay , that she is more than these , for .- 'he unites the excellencies of two of the first nanKS tbe stage can boast—the acting and manners of Mrs . Fi | Jordan , with the elegance and figure of Mi <* Fwrren , late the Countess of Derby . — Hull Observer .

      A Parish J logcjek . - ^ -Oii Saturday ., James Mortimer , a fellow employed as a schoolmaster by the Governor aud Guardians of the Poor , appeared to answer a summons . obtained tbe previous day by a person named JVIegget , who charged him with committing an assault upon his nephew , a lad about thirteen years old , a scholar in the'Parish'School , on the Humber bank , James Megget-deposed that he was in the school of the parish , and that on Monday last he had copied a sum he was working from another boy's slate , for which oilenee he was severely flogged by the master , and hud marks on his back aft the week ; Iiis back vuis very painful still . The blows were inflicted with a small cane , the end

      of which was wrapped round with twine , and cut him sadly . This statement was fully borne out by another boy , andth ^ fact of marks being still on him was proved by his uncle , and admitted by Mr . Kidd and Mr . Wallace , the governor arid , surgeon-to ; he workhjuse . In his defence , the wretch coolly remarked that he had only given the boy What he considered proper chastisement : lads at a parish school must not be treated as at other seminaries of learning , or even as at a common boarding-school . He hoped the Court would protect him , or he could not maintain his authority : corporal punishment was absolutely necessary . The governor said he did not wish to screen any officer , if he did wrong : he

      did not approve-of corporal punishment , but if it must be resorted to ,, perhaps the master had not given the lad more than was proper : he had ran away from the establishment a month since , without any cause . Mr Bourne , the sitting magistrate , commented in strong terms , on the impropriety of flogging a boy on Monday in such a way as to leave the effects visible on Saturday . It certainly was very unjustifiable conduct , and they were bound to punish ; but in the hope t hat the oft ' erice would not be again repeated , he would . only be on this occasion subjected to a slight penalty . Fined 5 ?! . and : 5 s . costs . "Will it be believed that after this decision the governor should think proper virtually to declare be approved of the

      master's heartless conduct ? This is , however , the fact , no sooner had the parties left the court than the poor , boy was expelled from the establishment , and left to wander without house or home , and during the nights of Saturday and Sunday to sleep in an old steam-boiler , on the Dock-green . His uncle stated the latter ease to the bench on Monday , and said that he had to provide for--the boy ' s aged grandmother , and some of his brothers and sisters , and as he is only a working man , it was out of his power to do more . The Mayor said he had no power to order them to admit him into the workhouse , but he would send an officer down with him and recommend them to do so .

      Cutting and Stabbing . —Charles Glenn , a youth who , though not twenty years of age , is well known to the Police and . Magistrates , was placed in the dock , charged with the following brutal assault . Catharine Coulson , who was so lame as to be unable to stand during the investigation , stated that she vyas a married woman , and thai ; on the previous evening , she was going along Waterworks-street , when she met the prisoner and another young man eating crabs ; the young , men as they past , put a crab clavr in her face , to which she did not pay any attention . Glenn then immediately struck a knife into her thigh , and , withdrawing it , made off , and went into a cook shop . The wound bled

      much , and , assoon as , she could , she gave information to the police , and the prisoner was apprehended . He denied having a knife about him , but , on searching him , the one with which he inflicted the wound was found in his pocket .- Mr . Fullum , surgeon , had seen the wound , and pronounced it to be of a very serious character . Prisoner said , if he bad done it he was very sorry ; he hoped the court would forgive him , as he had , a mother and four small brothers and sisters to support , and also a wife , who had just been confined . The court sent the case to the sessions ^ out told the defendant that he might he liberated on bail . To find two sureties in £ 30 each for . his appearance to take his trial at the October

      sessions . George-street Chapel . —On Sunday last , this place of worship was re-opened , when sermons were preached , and a collection made in aid of the funds for cleaning and repairing the same .

      OLCHAM . Socialism . —Last week , Mr . Easeby placarded our town , stating that in an address to be delivered by him on Tuesday night last , in the largest room in this town , Socialism should be refuted . The meeting took place , was numerously attended , several hundred persons of both sexes being present . Mr . E . is a man of considerable talent , and a good speaker ; capable of doing either much gord or much harm Toy . his oratorical powers . Instead , however , of coolly and candidly examining tbe fundamental principles of Socialism , and pointing out their errors o . " defects , he indulged in the most extensive vituperation ; called Mr . Owen an enthusiast , a

      visionary , an atheist , full of inconsistent conceits , and his -system tending to universal licentiousness , and every species of wickedness and misery . Mr . Lloyd Jones requested Mr . E . to prove any one of the charges he had made against Mr . Owen or his system ; desired him to read carefully , and consider well , the principles of that system , before he again exhibited himself in such a manner ; bid him to look at the present state of society , notwithstanding all the preaching and praying which had been done for the last 1800 years ; look to the present mass of miser } ' in our gaols , our workhouses , our factories , and the habitations of the poor ; see the vast mass

      of misery produced by our wars , by our litigations . See the vast expense of our army , our navy , our police , and the whole host of clerical ministers of every denomination ; and after a \\ , look to the thousands of wretched prostitutes , debtors , criminals , paupers , and beggars , and then say , what good your religion and your boasted laws have done for you . People may profess religion , or what faith they please , but if they do not act in conformity therewith , all such religion is vain ; is but as a sounding brass , or a tinkling cymbal . We , Socialists , mean to put a final end to extortion and oppression ; to feed all the hungry , clothe all the naked , and remove all complainings from our streets . —( Correspondent . )
