J 5- jgden , the constable , who was standing by her side all the time , thinking that the magiatSraten intended to do as they said in good earnest , and that n& would consequently lose the twenty-five shillings ta had in prospect for carrying her to Wakefield , drew their worship ' s attention to her shoes and stockings , which , together with the rest of her dress , he represented as being in the most deplorable

      condition . His timely hint had the desired effect . Mr . Ellis then asked her what money Bhe had about her to take her home with ? On her replying none at all ; well , then , said the kind-hearted magistrate , you have proved , by your own confession , that if we let you goat this time , yon will commence begging again , for the means of support , while on your way home , and , therefore , we cannot let yea go . The two magistrates , after consulting together about a minute , ordered her to be committed to Wakefield House of Correction for fourteen days . The principal objection urged by the magistrates , against her being set » t liberty , was , that ehe had no money to earry her home with , and to remedy this , th » y sent her to prison whence she would ba discharged , after ft for tnight ' s punishment , in exactly the same situation , without money , besides being at a greater distaste from home .

      Caichisq a Tauter . —Last week , & curate employed at the Bingley Pariah Church , took a walk on Business as far as Cullingworth and neighbourhood , to ascertain the feelings of his flock about establishing a Chapel of Ease , in the Odd Fellows ' Hall , at the above place . la the course o r his ramble he came to a email hamlet called Rycroft , and walked into a poor man ' s bouse to interrogate the family on the subject . The man was in the garden at the tim « , and after allowing him a sufficient opportunity to question his wife , thought he would walk in and have a little conversation with the gentleman himself . After pursuing the usual compliment , the husband brought out a testament and read a portion in praise ot charity , after which , he asked

      him . if he thought the establishment to whieh . be belonged , and which swallowed up the sum of ten millions annually , had anything to do with that virtue . The curate gave no answer , but looked at the fire . He then asked him several questions about the consistency of Christian ministers supporting oppression and tyranny , and wished to know his opinion abomt the People ' s Charter . The curate still continued dumb , looking at the iire . Hearing some person weaving above , and wishing to draw his unpleasant visit to a close , he desired the good man to invite the person down , as he always made it a rule to finish off a visit by offering up a short family prayer . The man , who was a thorough Chartist , tola him he

      would grant bis request , upon condition that h « would pray for the Ciiarter to become the law of the land , and that right speedily , and that the Lord would bless and support O'Coupor , Frost , Williams , and Jones , and ail the suffering Chartists now in prison for advocating the cause of troth and justice . He the curate took bold of his hat , and the man , thinking he was going to commence without agree ' ing to the stipulation , said , now I tell you . if you pray here , you t-hall pray for Feargus O'Connor and all the others , and mention their names distinctly . The curate , however , made to the door , bidding him good day , and the man returned the compliment , by telling him , that he was very far from the character of a genuine Christian minister .

Mitcbeli ^— The friends of Mitchell , who has been condemned to execution , have got up a petition , praying for a commutation of his sentence . OVmTDEN , —Oedkb . of the Peaceful Dovs . —On Monday last , the Honourable Order cf the Peaceful Dove , of the Halifax district , opened a new Lodge , at the house of Mr .

The name of the Lodge is " Vital Spark . " A good and substantial supper was provided by the host and hostess of the house , to which fare the psxty did ample justice .

      BURY ,-Yesterday week , as some boys were playing on the bank of the reservoir , near Bury , the son of a man of the name of James Livesey , in the p » y of the rich , desired the boys to go away . The boys refused ; and upon their doing bo , Jamea Livesey , the ? on , proceeded home ( a distance of one hundred yards or more ) , and in a few moments returned with a sort of stick , and very deliberately plunged it into the breast of one of the boys , oi the name of Thomas Birtwistle , of Bell-lane , near Bury . The boy dropped , to all appearance , lifeless on the ground : he was conveyed home in the night . Surgical aid was quickly procured , and tie boy

      pronounced to be iu imminent danger of his life . He lias since recovered , bus ^ bat has ZiT ^ esev been done with ? What does the reader think ? Wag he committed to take his trial at the Assizes ! No , ke was not . Why , what then ? He was brongbt before the sitting magistrate ? , E . Grunay , Esq . and others ; and , in consequence of his father being a favourite of the rich , he was allowed to compromise the matter , while it was distinctly sworn by three or ( bar of the boys , that the stick had a damper in it . This is either a gross violation of the law , or the law ia . in Outrage on the British people , and shews the necessity for a change in the administration of justice . — Correspondent .

      CHOKiTON-UPON-RIUDI ^ OCK -Bi u tal Assault by Two Poi ^ eman . —A person of the name of Edward Helen had , it appears , be « n with one of bis brother Odd Fellows , paving thdr devotions to Bacchus , until a late hour ou the lOih inst ., when Helen ' s wife came to take him home ; they ihiougln they would call upon a friend in Fountainstreet ; consequently they knocked at the door , when instanily two poLicemen , M'Koou and Davies , who happened to b < - on the other side of the road , came , aud without ceremony struck Helen ' s wife , who had a- ' child in her arm 3 . Of course the husband could not brook tbis , and therefore remonstrated with them npon . the impropriety of this brutality , but these disturbers , insU&d of protectors ^> f the peace , resumed their barbarity by beating the husband with tbeir heavy bladgeons ; indeed they not only beat

      him , but they also took him and confined him in the lock-np . His wife very natnrally followed , and implored them to release her husband , but instead of so doing , tbej immediaiely locked her and her child upBkeftise ; durin ^ ll this time , the unfortunate man w * s bleeding profusely , insomuch thai these hirelings deemed it necessary tor their own safety to take him to the infirmary . After he had been examined by the Burgeon , he waa taken back and placed- in " durance vile . " "Buth were liberated next day , yst the man was so&readfuliy abused by these aforesaid night guardians that , to all appearance , he can-jot possibly recover . Hehas > een duly attended to by two snrgeons , who have done all in their power to restore the dying man . He is constantly in a state of insensibility , and the bad smell which arises from him is beyond description .

      KAllSFUiAUJa—Few hamlets now-a-days escape being cursed with a village despot , and bat few are more tyrannized over than we are , as the following case of oppression wiU most clearly show : —The rurals , not being able to find a job , owing to the sober habits of the people , are doing all they can to excite the inhabitants to a breach of the peace : the working elapses here are not allowed to stand in the street to speak to each other , while a set of idle drones are continually lounging about our streets . During the late storm , two poor men , who were out of employment , whose miserable homes and starving families compelled them to go into the Market-place to see if they could procure * job , to enable them to get some food for themselves and families , while

      they were standing on the eanseway , one of the gen-d ' armu came up , and ordered them off ; and for not complying with the orders of this minion they were summoned befere the magistrates , who , in the exercise of their high prerogative , fined them fire shillings each and expenees . if they had been sent to prison there and them , the poor fellows would sot hare complained , for it would have saved then many a hungry belly ; but not so , they were left to starve until the storm wu gone , and they h * «•* *? work , when they were dragged from their families , and consigned to the felons' dungeon , and their poor

      wives and children are left starving , and would not even be allowed parish relief , whilst the collective wisdom at St . Stephens are babbling about an Irish fortification Bill to keep the French put . The autocrats and their mercenaries are doing all they can to drive the people of England to desperation ; but there is a point at which human endurance is no longer bearable : and w * ien the bow does break , woe to the tvrants and oppressors of the poor . The people of . Mansfield have commenced a subscription for the families of these poor men . A subscription book-ia open at Mr . Penton ' s , Temperance Hotel , StGckweJI-gaJe . —Correspondent .

      WAKEFEBLD . —Matbimoht wotBubspol . — Benjamin Rodgers , of East Ardsley , farmer , was charged , at Wakefield Court House , on Monday , by the overseer of that' place , with neglecting to support his wife , who had become chargeable to that parish . The defendant gave utterance to a long tir » de of grievous faults and misdoings , which he said his wiife w » 8 guilty of , and which appeared very plausible till contradicted by his wife , whose statements , backed by the evidence of the ovenoer , completely changed the colour of the case . The poor creature , while citing the ill usage to which she was

      Bubiwt at the hands of her husband , was so overcome by grief and weakness of body , that she swooned , and it was some time before she could be restored . The magistrates gave the fellow a severe reprimand , and ordered him to allow his wife , who had left home , 49 . per week , and to pay 10 s . present expenees , and that he should give up the whole of her clothes into the bands of the constable for her own use , and also intimated that if he should be brought there again , he would have to find heavy bond to keep the peace for twelve months , or be imprisoned the while in the Honse of Correction .

      Ccwous Robbery . —On Saturday last , a young man named William Jackson , was committed to take his trial at the sessions , under the following circumstances : —He was employed by Mr . Henry Rose , of Well-street , grocer , in his warehouse . On the Monday preceding , Mr . Rose counted up the silver he had in his till , to the amount of £ 16 , and wrapped it ap in paper and put it in his desk . He then went out , leaving Jackson and two shop-boys , named John Hillisand Edwin Hodgson , in the shoD .

      The prisoner pretended to seek a besom near the desk , in order to sweep the warehouse , and was seen by the boys to take the money out of the desk in a slv manner . He presently left tbe shop , and it was afterwards discovered that he immediately left the town and proceeded to York per coach to see the stirring . He was followed by Mr . Rose , and apprehended a few days afterwards , by Moses Sugden , in Castlegate , and £ 1 16 s . waB found on him .

MACCZiESFIEIoD . —The Corn Law repealers of this town have been put to a very miserable shifr .

      8 UNBEZU * AN 2 > . —Tailors' Strike . —This intelligent and patriotic body of men have not yet got the dispute settled with their masters , or rather with those three or four masters in Sunderland , who have conspired to crush the Society , and bring down the condition of the workmen ; but we are glad to state that there is not the slightest disposi tion upon the part of the men to submit to this : to avoid it , many have left the town , their wives and nunilies being Buppccted . mosiUhirallf by those id . employment . Tbe majority oTtbe master 4 " 1 nEV {( ij made no abatement , and being , in fact , opposed ft the mean oonduct of the few great employers , who have exhibited so much littleness of sonl , there is ao doubt that the men will succeed in their efforts to res-ist the proposed profit-hunting reduction . The men are reluctant to appeal for aid , although they have ever been amongst the first to render it ; bui we trust that the spirit which has dictated this reluctance will ba rightly appreciated by their brethren , and elicit that spontaneous support which they so well deserve .

      BXKQliET . —Public Meeting on the New Poor Law . —A public meeting , in compliance with a requisition , was convened at this place , to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning Parliament , for tbe repeal of this obnoxious measure ; or that otherwise the power might be vested in the Guardians , instead of the Poor Law Commissioners . The meeting was called for the 20 th instant , at two o ' clock . at which very few persona were present . After some timc , it was moved and seconded that Mr . Farrand do take the chair , which he immediately did 4 without waiting for the confent of those assembitd . After some remarks , eiprepsive of his regret that the meeting was not more numerously attended , the Chairman sat down , and Mr . Tipping , a working man , requested permission to address the chair , which was refused , with the remark , that ho would not \> e heard at all ; it was not his turn . Some high words passed between tho parties , Mr .

      T . not f . eling disposed to bepat down , and the chairman talking about committing him to the care of the constable , and nndiug that to be of non-effect he talked atain of instituting a law suit . All would not do ; . Mr . T . intimated that he cared as little for his law , as he did for himself . A resolution was moved and seconded , to which Mr , Tipping moved an amendment , but the chairmau refused to put it , but said the mover mijjht second any of the resolutions proposed , and address the tteeiing , which , of course , be refused to do on such conditions . The object of Mr . T . was to get the meeting adjourned to a time when the workpeople could attend , but this wa . s evidently contrary to the design of the patriots who had coaveued the meeting . The Chairman , if he expects to become popular , must manage his public conduct in rather a more courteous spirit than that which he evinced at . the above meeting .

      PETITION OF THE BIRMINGHAM CHRISTIAN CHARTIST CHURCH , FOR THE RELEASE OF MR ; H . HETHERINGTON . To the Honourable the Cammoinqf Great Britain and Ireland , in Parliament ( Usmbltd , The Petition of the Members oT the Christian Chartist Church , Birmingham , Humbly Shkwbth , —That your petitioners view with regret aud indignation the imprisonment of Mr . Henry Hatherington , upon the charge . of publishing blasphemous letters . They had hoped that the age of intolerant persecution . for opiniou ' a sake , had long gone by . , ¦ v Your petitioners highly disapprove of the matter contained in the letters , but they have full confidence in the intrinsic excellence of the principles of Christianity , and of their complete power to gain an entrance into every heart ; and . therefore , the ?

      feel indignant at the assumption that these principles require any assistance from the Government , or that those" who believe not iu them should be persecuted . Your petitioners fear nothing from the opposition of infidelity , unless it be the practical infidelity of those , who , fer "filthy lucre ' s sake , " profess to be the friends of religion . They believe that reason and kindness are the only weapons which Christianity requires for its defence ; and that the iron hand of vindictive law must injure it in the eyes of the ignorant and unbelieving , since it forces into existence » character that , under any oause , commands esteem and sympathy—viz . a martyr . They cannot but feel deep sorrow that the " powers that be' * are so wanting in the true "faith , as to conceive tbat a religion of truth requires the aid of tho

      dungeon to protect it . They cannot help seeing a glaring inconsistency in punishing the blasphemy oontaiued in a few letters , while a far greater blasphemy \ b every hour committed in the wars and plunderings of those whose most common words are "Peace , love , and indifference to temporalities . " Your petitioners , therefore , pray , that your Honourable House would memorialise her Majesty , to release the said Henry Hetherington ; and that you will also take immediate steps to abolish all laws iunictiug pains aud penalties for opinion ' s sake . And your petitioners will ever pray , &o . Signed , on behalf of the Church , John Collins , ) Paof ™ Arthur O'Neil , J Pastors ' Bbnj . Hill , ) t ^ GE 0 RGBS 74 LE 8 , l DeaC 0 nS -
