In 1 the Jforihern Star , a week or two ago , it was stated that I had been at Newport , and that I would be there again the following Sunday , if possible , Ik is a truth when I say I had to put niyself about very much to do so . But ever . wilung , as far as my abilities will allow , to . do all I can to advance the cause , I came to Newport , and on Monday morning I left and went for Pontyppol , ' arid at seven o ' clock oa Tuesday morning , feelirig for my purse , which I had not waited on Monday , and I had not got it . I cannot desoribe my feelings to any person . Diligefli search was made on ihe bed and ia the room , but fai vain . I then returned to Newport ^ in the hope that Ishould hear something of it there . But all in vain . I have searched and made every ehqairy possible , but of no use ; and my future prospect now is a deplorable one , having lost a little under or over thirteen pounds . 1 am miserable , * because the friend who has let me have nearly twenty poui > da' worth of goods I cannot pay , and therefore cannot have morelam still more wretched when I think of the great sufferings and the misery of the generaUiy of my fellow-sufferers . I never have imposed upon tha public . I have no desire to do so . It is with greai reluctance I ask for aid , but my present situation obliges me . I hope those whose circiimstaiiceswill allow them to spare a small trifle , will not consider me insuUing or imposing upon them . It is has often been said , " Many can help one when one cannot help a many , " If the lovers of liberty will help me out of my difficulties at this time , I ehali certainly fe ^ l greatly indebted ; to them , and I hope you will find me ever ready to return such a favour to any of you who may bo placed in similar circumstances . I ought , and I intended to have been , by this time , with the person I have my goods of , and paid him , and had more . Bat-instead of this , I have to wait until I see whether or no there be any prospect of paying him , so that I hope you will give it insertion in your next number .: 7 I have offered , in this neighbourhood , three pounds out of it , it ' any pcKon would deliver it up . Whoever has got it is obUged to know whose it is , because there are two tickets in the purse with my name on them . . ¦ -77 ' ' - ' ' " ¦ 77 ' ' . ¦ yj - ' / - ' . ¦ ¦• .- :.: : ¦ " ¦ : ¦ ' ¦ ; In deep distress I now am waiting . Those places where I may be thought worthy of notice , if they , can sympathise with me , and will render me a little assistance , would they have the kindness to send me a line or two to Mr . J .

      Still on sale" at all the Pablishers , Price Threepence only , THE POOK MAN'S COMPANION 1 A POLITICAL ALMANACK FOBt 18 * 2 , SETTING forth , at one view , the enormous amount of Taxes wrung from the industry of a starving people , and their extravagant and shameful expenditure . Also containing tables of useful reference on almost all subjecM « jonnecbed with general policy . OPINIONS OF TUB PKESS . " Essentially a 'Poor Man ' s Companion' and fully deserving the highest eulogfum as fulfilling the promise of its title . In addition to the usual subjectmatter of an Almanack , we are presented with tables of the utmost importance , as affording the very in ~ formation the workfng classes are much in need ofthe gross misapprdpriatiou of their property in penaions and high official salaries given for bad government . A chapter is also annexed on ' the condition of the people , ' calling- for universal perusal . We would particularly * commend the work to the attention of Chartist Lecturers , —they will find it an invaluable text book . '' —English Chartist Circular . " This little compendium of useful information is entitled to our warm commendation . The statistical details bear ample : evidence of having been prepared with muoh care , and the tables relative to taxation , and the appropriation of the monies thereby derived , are not more curious than useful , while the commentary appended to each division ef the subject cannot failby its tone to make the ' Poor Man'b Companion ' highly popular . "—Weekly Dispatch . u We are accustomed ! to speak of unequal laws and ef the enormous burdenB that are laid upon the poor for tho benefic of the ricb ^ and we are accus ^ tomed to apeak thus so often that the very iteration of the remark causes it to loose its force } and to pass harmless . Hence the necessity for details ; and details , come front whatever qaarter they may , if well substantiated , always come to us as acceptable visitors , and are welcbmed as an effective force which we can wield agarrist the strongholds of corrupfcuHu The details in this , Almanack are cleanly set forth , and really they tell a dark and fearful tale . Unhappily we have t 6 o good grounds to believe them correct . Mr . Hobson refers to dates and state . documents—for it is a mercy that we have a precedent which forces the public plunderers to trHmpet forth their robberies . In a word we may state that the national taxation—who pay it—who devour it- ^ -are set forth in a lucid manner in this ' Poor Man ' g Coinpanion . ' ^ Z ; ^ cfe 71 » 2 es . ; . " This is verily a Poor Man ' s yademecxim . : the cheapest and best book of general reference for almost all . subjects- in which the people's interests are immediately involved thatwe have ever seen . In addition to all the usual information of an Almanack , it contains a mass of statistical information crammed into the smallest possible space upon most important subjects . We feel persuaded that there is not a working man in the kingdom , who will be without his * Companion , ' if he can possibly procureone . "—Northern Star . " This is a Political Almanack for 1842 , shewing the amount and application of the taxes raised from the industry of the Working classes , and containing much information for them , and some also that may be useful to those born only to consume their productions ^ Among other statistical tables , it gives a Bummary of the resources of Great Britain , a comparison between the productive and unproductive classes , and long and instructive answers to the question , ¦? how are the taxes applied V : % The Cost of the Church , ' and the - - ' . BlackList , ' may also ba perused with advantage . —Swn . " This is a threepenny Almanack , and worth twice the money at which it can be purchased . The Almanack is equal- to any other we have yet seen ; and the work contains besides a great variety , as well as condensation , of political information with which it is important the * Poor 51 an * should be acquainted . "—iB / i / ijA QueenandStatesman , " "A Chartist Almanack , in which much use is made of the now readily accessible Parliamentary Returns , whose totals are presented and commented upon in thestyle to be expeoted from a shrewd and . vigorous mind .

      GLASGOW . —The Corn Law farce long talked of by the Whigs , is now passed , and a sorrowful exhibiton it has been . It began in ' Edinburgh by a meeting of clergymen and other delegates sent by whosoever choose to pay their expences , and bo guarded were those champions of the poor man's interest , least any of these for whom so mnch sympathy is expressed by those—in the -words of the immortal Paine— " cowards , knaves , or fools f that they made the admission to the public by ticket , price fire shillings , and very politely marked on the ticket , " the purchaser of this ticket is not to take Mj part in the proceedings ; " and to ensure this being carried into effect , about twenty policemen were in readiness to seize any one who might hare

      the temerity to offend against the rjues , those rules being specially framed to prevent the Chartists from attending the meeting ; this I hare from one of the deputies who was present , but not a Whig . The £ rst meeting of the humanity-mongers took place here on Friday , the 14 th , at noon , in tho Tr&des-hal ! , a fitting place to hold a meeting calculated to compel ] the Tamworth Boronet to repeal the Corn Laws , PT give np Downing-street . This hall is capable of / holding 800 or 900 . I counted the meeting , there / were no more than 300 present , more than one-half / of which were working men ( Chartists ) wno attended j partly froa curiosity , aye , to watch these professors \ of justice . The whole three hours spent in hearing ^—Sfwrts , from whit they called deputies , was a miserlileNiMbition , a repetition of a iale a thousand time 3 tohi , the miseries endured by the working classes ; tots one exception , not one of the speakers referred to the cause of all these erils . The delegate from Aberdeen , forms this siogle exception . In the

      Tery outset of his remarks , he denounced all monopolies , and in particular the monopoly of legislation . This wa 3 Iqpdly responded to by the meeting ; the "worthy Chairman did not find room here to interfere . After going orer various tables , shewing the rise and prospect of the trade of Aberdeen , the speaker referred to the great increase of pauperism in the parish , of St . Nicholas , Aberdeen ; which he said is caused by the poor being driven from the eonntry into the town , and that chiefly owing to the working of the Rural Police . At the mention of the " rurals , " the great body of wose present cheered the speaker , on which the Chairman politely told him his ten minutes was up . Tbe speaker retired amidst loud cries of " Go on . " A mle was laid down by their Committee that each deputy should be allowed ten minutes to eive his

      report ; some of them spoke for twenty-five minutes or near half an hour , bat not in a single instance « d the Chairman interfere , the above case excepted . Tai 3 shews how the wind blows ; anything bnt « pose the Whigs , or give the people their natural * i £ ats . The people langhed at their mockery , and Paat ( or another opportunity cf telling them they > re mere jugglers . The meeting was adjourned at wee o ' clock till twelve on Saturday . A banquet ** s held ia the City Hall on Friday night , and if We Judge fro m appearances , those who attended ° n Friday night were made to pay for the creatures ? "D were treated to free tickets to the soiree on iitnrday evening . Every effort h * s been made *> aake boih evenings bumpers , particularly Satur-• "J s , which was to be chiefly composed of working &en . Finding that class was noj responding to the * 1 of " cheap bread , " the ticket 3 were sent to all ^ se woiks where tools could be had to do the

      ^ Jisters' diriy work , and the tickets pressed for a * e , or raihtr presented ; for -whenever the workers < let & ! ed buying on the score of inconvenience , they ^ ae kindl y told , " Just take them , and you can pay Iot them at ycur own conveniecce . " Such is the fflode of getting up national demonstrations by the £ & £ 5 of Glasgow , and I believe throughout the ^ gdom . The adjourned meeting , to hear reports iroai deputies , took place on Saturday at noon , Mr . wansjne , of Lancefield , in the chair . After hearing « Teral delegates , Mr . Joseph Siurge , of BirEiing-™ B | wno was on the platform , rose by request of

      | ae Chairman , and spoke for a few minutes , shewing ae 3 s . fixed duty to be worse than the sliding *« ue . After some good bits at the Whigs , he said reel ' s majority was Bot the only opposition to the People ' s interest . There was a huge faction * ffiong the party on the other side of the House * s much opposed to the people as even the iones were . The Whig Committee could stand "us bo longer . Sturge was reminded by the Chairfi » n that it was tkrongh mere courtesy he was * aowed to speak—that he hoped Mr . Sturge would confine his remarks to the object of the meeting , and « e would be allowed five or ten minutes to close his

      remarks . Sturge expressed his regret at the Efior ; time allowed . He Epoke for five or eight minutes *« tr he had been interrupted . He spoke in all « out fifteen minutes . He then reared from the oall evidently mnch disappointed . I felt much gratified at ; he treatment ht ' aiet with at the hands of our Gla 5 g 0 W Wfrgs . Had Mr . S . been a little more decided whb . the "Whigs , the worthy Chairtoan would have been taught that Sturge was in the k ^ ois of the meeting , and not in that of the Comfiuttee . Tie meeting closed at three o'clock—the "higs never daring to step a single jet bejoad ihe

      statistical reports of the deputies . About three hundred were present , two thirds ot whom were composed of working men , the greater part of whom sat in solemn sileace both dayg , and retired on Saturday much disappointed at not having an opportunity of teaching those mock philanthropists , ^ hat the Charter is the only cure for all our grievances The people here thought the Whig bubble below contempt ; and , with the exception of the small number I have -mentioned , did not pay the least attention to the farce ; consequently , those who did attend , did so merely to see what they knew the oreans of the faction would represent as a great and influential meeting . I have only to add that the party ( League ) has lowered themselves fifty degrees btheir ¦ ¦ wretched exhibition

      y . . The soiree on Saturoay evening , notwithstanding Ibe efforts made , was a total failure- The Argus says 1 , 600 were present . Let it be go . I tell Mr . Argus there were only fromthtte to four huodred of these working men . So much for the great and influential meetings , banquets , and -Foirees , with free tickets , of our League here ! Mr . Sturge is said to be endeaTouring to get up an Association among the middle classes here . He saya some of the Chartist leaders must be got rid of . I am much mistaken if the people here will meet Sturge or any other party with any new fangled propositisn ; and , as to getting nd of leaders we have had fcufficieccy of that doctrine . They would like to get Sampson deprived of his hair , and then put out bis eyes . Let the people

      be deprived of those friends , who are resolved to abandon the people only in death , and the Whigs flatter themselves the people will become an ea ^ y prey in their hands . Let Mr . S . try his influence among the aristocracy . The people know their duty equally as well as Mr . S . ; and Dot even the fortune of Mr . Joseph Starge will blind the people of this part of the country . We are no ; to be told by the Whigs who-is to return oar confidence , and who is not . We | haye had sufficiency of aristocratic leadership ; we are determined to lead ourselves . Talent and virtue will-have its influence , and Mr . Sturge will Jeirn that when ( if ever ) he meetB us in public . I believe he is a very benevolent man , but he is not to come and tell us who to u get quit" of . — Correspondent . *

      ABEEJDEEN . —State of the Poor . —With regard to the destitution which now pervades the great body of the working classes throughout the empire , * Aberdeen has iis share of the general wretchednesss , and shares the miseries endured by other towns .- There are about 500 men out of employment , with 750 persons dependant on them for support ; upwards of 200 females , with aged parents , depending on their pittance . About two weeks ago , Lord Kintare gave the handsome sum of £ 300 to distribute among the unemployed . It was given to our Whig Provost to dole out among those requiring relief ; but that worthy dignitary thinking it might be better appropriated in making railroads and breaking stones , has Bet tbe poor fellows to work at those public works , giving per week to married men , no matter how many or how weak his family , the

      sum of Is . 83 . in money , ten stones of coals , and one stone of meal ; to unmarried , the gum of Is . 4 d . and the same quantny » f meal and coals . And even after star ding the biting blast and the nipping frost working , it is called charity . Those labourers who are constantly employed , and they are few , receive during winter , 9 s . on an average , deducting inclement weather ,. this to a man , his wife , and one , two , or three children , is baresy tufficient to Bupport existence : at the present high price of victuals , none of them ever tastes a bit of animal food during the year ; potatoes and herrings and porridge are the common diet . How wretched then must be the condition of those who toil for an equivalant of five shillings , and do net receive that in money . The meal too is a penny per stone dearer than the market price .

      IiEEDS . —Child Lost . —A poor woman came to our office on Thursday morning , of the name of Bridget Wallis ,. who states that about twenty weeks ago a boy of hers , named James Wallis , aged ten years , left his home , and she has nsver been able to hear of him since , although she ha 3 travelled all the neighbourhood for thirty miles round , and in consequence ot which she is in great distress of mind . The boy is » fino chubby lad , with light hair and grey eves . He had on when he left home ^—narrow cord trousers , and brown cloth jacket , a good deal decayed : he was barefooted . He . has s mark , under his right eye , which he received by a fall when learning to walk , and by which he may be easily known . The mother is a widow , and very poor : she thinks it is likely that he may have gone off , or been taken up by a party of beggars . Any information sent to this office will be thankfully received , and handed to the afflicted parent .

      tkose who may think themselves entitled to consideration in consequence of their misfortune , from several of whose friends I have already received applications setting - forth their particular claims to my attention . Whether the'deodand belongs to me , as Lord of the Manor , may be questionable ; but knowing that it is the intention of the Compaby to resist the payment , it is , at all events , premature to state that it is about to be paid to me , and still worse to specify the manner in which it iB to be appropriated .

      13 Hi Peogbes or Repeal .-Well , Repealers , great and small , a ? the Corn Exchange J how prospers tbe cause I Indifferently , we know you must reply , and should you say anything else , we would not take your word . The rent is down to fifty-seven pounds , while you are aware it requires one hundred pound ; a-week to keep the doors open—and has it come to this ? after the marchings and counter-marchings of the indefatigable Tom Reynolds , who was sent through the country to get up tbe steam . Was it for this 50 U have been , wandering , provident Tom Mooney , through America , —and though all connexion with you was disclaimed , etili k " -pt picking up tLe Yankee dollars , and after , we presume , deducting a decent commission , sent the remnant over to asrf = t us in prwuriDg a domestic legislature ? What

      is Tom Steel about ! we trust he is whippirg up the bzy Wardens in the Provinces—yet his silence looks ominous . We fear that Repeal will soon be a bad vrord with which to conjure . Should there be any who wish to ascertain the cause of this decline in popular ardonr , let . tbem read the confession of Mr . L . alor . He declared the other day what we have so often stated , that there are thousands of Repealers in the land who would shrink from associating themselves with the majority of the patriots who flock to the Corn Exchange . There you will neither meet with consistency aor sincerity . One day the champions of domestic legislation unfurl the Repeal standard , and promise never to rest satisfied until the cause be triumphant ; while upon another we discover tkem basily employed in endeavouring to secure , the election of an anti-Repealer . — World .

      but , if others could be found more fitted than myself for the office , I would cheerfully make way for them , rejoicing that Yorkshire had abler men than myself to represent her in the People ' s Parliament Since that time a number of persons have been nominated , and among them are patriots whom I highly esteem for their sterling honesty and unpurchaseable worth . I deem it of great importance that as many as possible of our talented and proved-honest leaden should sit in tbe next Convention , and sorry should I be to stand is the way of a single Tote being given for such men as Pitkethly , Binns , West , and others who stand on the list ; as such , I have determined to withdraw , heping that in my own locality I may be in the future , as I flatter myself I have been in the past , of some little eervice to the eaoaa .

      I must return my thankB , which I do most heartily , to the gallent men of Dewsbury , for the honour tkey did me in putting me in nomination . I assure them I feel deeply their kindness , the more especially as to have the confidence of sucft men—men who never betrayed the cause—men always in the van of the movement—is indeed to be honoured I To my friends of Sheffield who have stood by me , despite the roar of faction , and the machinations of my enemies , I tender my sincere thanks ; ul do to the men of Hebden Bridge , and other places where I have been nominated .

      Let it not be supposed that I feax the toil , 01 shrink from the danger of a seat in the Convention ; my post career will testify that I heed not toil when duty calLs . As to danger , I confess I do not see any Immediate prospect of that ; if I saw more of danger ^ han I do see at the present moment , I should be the more eager to serve tbe people , for in proportion to the threatened danger would be my hopes of a Bpeedy reckoning between the oppressed and the oppressor .

      CABUSLE . PUBLIC MEETING TO PETITION PARLIAMENT ON THE GREAT DISTRESS WHICH AT PRESENT EXISTS . On Monday last , a public meeting was held is the Town Hall , G G . Mounsey , Esquire , Mayor , in the chair . He opened the business of the meeting by reading the-requisition , and stated that there was now no doubt that very great distress existed at present He congratulated the people on their right of petitioning Parliament ; and he hoped , so long as they made a proper use of that privilege , they would still retain it He trusted they would hear the various speakers with patience and forbearance , and discuss any subjects that might come before them , ia a temperate manner .

      Mr . Railton , solicitor , then came forward and in a neat and appropriate speech , movftd the following resolution , and also the adoption of the Petition , which had been prepared by the Committee , which were seconded by Mr . Stephens , and carried unanimously : — 1 st " Seeing the great amount of misery anddestitution , which at present prevail among the working portion of society in this town and neighbourhood , this meeting is of opinion that it is highly necessary to lay the same before Parliament , calling for inquiry , with a view to apply , during the present Session , a prompt and effectual remedy , and that a petition be adopted by the meeting for this purpose . " Mr . J . B . Hanson moved , and Mr . Haxstead seconded , the following resolution , which was unanimously carried : —

      11 That the Members of Parliament tor this borough , P . H . Howard , Esq . and William Marshall , Epq , be respectfully requested to present the petition to Parliament ; and that H . A . Aglionby , Esq ., M . P . for Cockermouth , be kindly requested to support its prayer . " Mr . Aglio . vby , who was present , came forward and stated that the forms of the House would not allow him to support the petition , except a motion was made on the subject He then went on to regret the great distress that existed at present amongst the working classes , and trusted that some efficient remedy would

      be applied : at the same time , he had not great hopes of Parliament being able to effect much under pxe&ent circumstances . Geob « e H . Head , Esq ., banker , then came forward , and spokt > in very feeling terms as to the appalling amount of misery that existed , yet it was what he was fully acquainted with . He attributed a great portion of the distress to over production , which had been caused by too great an amount of money being placed in the hands of those who had nut made a proper use of it This opinion , advanced by Mr . Head , brought out

      Mr . Ross , draper , -who in a very aaim&tad manner repudiated the doctrind propounded by Mr . Head . He then west into numerous speculative notions of his own on the subject , and finally appealed to the people—to oppose Sir R . Peel and the present Government—if they did not bring forward measures to improve the condition of the people , Mr . H Bowman then moved a vote of thanks to G- G- Mounsey , Esq , Mayor , for the prompt and courteous manner he bad received the deputation that had waited upon him , -which being seconded by Mr . James Abthcr , was carried with three hearty cheers . A vote of thanks was then passed to Messrs . Aglionby , Head , and Ross , for the part they had taken in the present meeting . The above u scarcely an outline of the proceedings , which lasted upwards of three hours , amidst the most intense anxiety on the part of the meeting , which was

      very numerous . Various remedies were propounded by the different speakers , such as the adoption of the People ' s Charter , locating the poor on the waste lands by a system of home colonization , increasing the productive po-wtis of the country by a repeal of the Corn Laws , and other measures . Mr . AGLio > 'B ? facetiously replied that there had been several Doctors propounding remedies , all of whom differed so , that he was afraid they would find it a very difficult task to agree in the legislature , however , he would do all in his power to improve the condition of the people . He was friendly to a reduction of the expenditure at all times , and he thought that means should be adopted to increase the powers of production . He then explained his views on machinery and other subjects , wh * n the meeting quietly dispersed .

      INQUEST ON A PAUPER—EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS . On Friday last , an inquest was held before Mr . Wakley , in the board-room of the Hendon Union Workhouse , on view ^ of tbe body of-John Catlin , upwards of eighty years of age , an inmate of that workhouse . The death , it appears , took place suddenly , and under circumstances which induced the relatives to apply to the coroner for an inquiry , the body being found by the sons of the deceased at the workhouse in a sta . te of the most perfect emaciation , with a superficial wound on the forehead , and a bruise on the arm . The Corouor having also received notice of the death from the constable of Heudon , sent an order to Mr . Foote , surgeon , of Edgwaro , to make a post mortem examination of the body , and issued his warrant for the summoning a jury to meet at the workhouse , which was done ; and our reporter has learned that the following circumstances occurred to the coroner on his arrival at the gates of that building , at twelve o'clock on Friday , to hold the

      inquest ; — In the high road , when about to alight from his carriage , Mr . Wakley found Mr . Tootell , the solicitor , of Edgware , and clfrk to the Board of Guardians ot the Hendon Union , waiting in his gig , to announce to him that he must proceed to an inn on the London Road , some distance from the Workhouse , to hold the inquiry , as the Jary had been directed that morning to assemble there instead x of at the Workhouse , and that che coroner would there also find the constable . The Coroner expressed his astonishment at this proceeding , and inquired the cause . Mr . Tootell replied , that the Guardians refused to allow any more inquests to be held in the Workhouse . The Coroner asked Mr . Tootell if that had been done by his advice ! Mr . Tootell begged not to be pressed to answer that question .

      The Coroner said that surely Mr . Tootell , as a lawyer , must be aware the Coroner was bonnd to hold his inquest super vlsum corporis , and that he could enforce bis power of entering any place whf re the body might lie , in order to fulfil the demands ot the law . Mr . Tootell replied that that might be quite true , as regarded the Coroner and Jury being admitted to see the body , but ; tnat they must then immediately depart and hold the inquest somewhere else . Such were the directions of the Board of Guardians , and any attempt on the part of the Coroner to enter the building , there to hold the it quest , would be resisted , and the doors barred against him . But perhaps ( he added ) the Coroner would not hold the inquest at all , if he previously saw Mr . Foote , and heard what he had found on opening the body .

      The Coroner again expressed his amassment at what he had heard . Not a syllable of this proceeding , on the part of the Guardians , had been communicated to him before , and he was first destined to hear of it in a parley in the high road . Patting aside all other considerations , | he very want of courtesy to him was remarkameA He Ehould fee extremely sorry to resort to force * but he was determined that the power of his oBice and the interests of the poor should not suffer in his person , and that if the entry of the Coroner and the Jury were opposed , he should at once call in the aid of the police , and , with the assistance of a sledge-hammer from Edgware , he doubted not he should speedily obtain the required admission . Mr . Tootell , apparently much surprised , said , —Assuredly you will not resort to violent means ! The Coroner , — Upon my honour I will . Mr . TooteU , —No , no ; certainly you don ' t mean that .

      Untitled Article

      The Coroner , —Upon my honour I will . You see ; Mr . Tootell , if the Guardians , have the power to enforce such a resolution as you say they have passed , they might be enabled to conceal the body of a prtsoii who bad been murdered from the view of an inquest jury , and thus reduce the office of coroner to a complete nullity . Nothing shall prevent me from holding the inquest in the workhouse The coroner then alighted from his carriage , and having requested Mr . Mills , his secretary , to proceed to the inn and obtain the immediate attendance of the jury at the workhouse , went through the gates to the front door , where he was admitted . Two of the jurymen had at that juncture just arrived at the workhouseand pointed out to the

      , porter that they had been summoned for that place by direction of the coroner , and complained with much vexation at their being expected to go on such a day , or at any other time , from * building that belonged to the rate-payers to a distant house , when theT > odv was in the workhouse . In a short time sixteen jurvmen were in attendance in the hall , the remainder having arrived from the inn with the constable , who placed now for the first time before the coroner the copy of the resolution of the board of Guardians , which had been given the constable on the previous evening , with an order from the GuardiauB that he should alter his summonses to the jurymen , and assemble them at the inn , instead of at the workhouse . ' :

      The jury , one and all , expressed their gratification at tho intention of the coroner , and agreed that they had never heard of a more scandalous proceeding than the attempt to exclude them / from , their own building on such an occasion . Mr . Tootell here sent for the Rev . Mr . Mutter , one of the guardians , on whose arrival the party were still remaining in th e hall and lodge below . The Coroner , addressing Mr . Mutter , pointed out to the reverend gentleman the extraordinary position in whioh he had been placed , and concluded by saving to him , " I have now obtained admission into

      the premise * , and here I shall remain to hold my inquest , and if joa or your officers cannot find a suitable place for the jury to assemble in , I will see what I can de myself . " . : No steps being taken to find such a room , the coroner left the hall , followed by the jury , and proceeded upstairs to the door of the board-room , which he found locked . The Rev . Mr . Mutter having also followed him , wished to know whether he was quite resolved to find a room on the premises for the inquest , and on the coroner once more repeating that he certainly was , the key of the board-room was produced , and the coroner and jury admitted ..

      Tlie Coroner then asked if any of those who had received summonses to attend asjury men were connected with the union , as persons in any way depending on the pleasure of the guardians or as officers of the parish 1 Three proved themselves * by acknowledgment , to be so circumstanced . One of the overseers , the maker of coffius for the paupers , and the baker . The Coroner said that it would be better , therefore ; that they Ehould sit apart , and then the remaining thirteen were sworn in the usual manner , and proceeded to view the body ^ which / was a perfectskeleton , and looked starved . A long discussion took place as to what occurred on a former occasion , and the inquiry was proceeded with , but presented ho features of public interest .

      Tne Jury returned a verdict that"John Catlin died from effusion of serum on the brain , produced by a natural cause . "

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAn . Sir , —We have learned with much regret the resolution of the Convention regarding the petition promulgated by the English Executive . That they ought to have consulted the Central Committee , no one on this side of the Tweed can tot & momeht doubt ; there was a want of courtesy and consideration in their conduct on this occasion . -77 ' 7 - \ 7 , v \ ¦ ¦ - ¦ . : - - ' .. ; ' ' . •' . ¦ ' : : : ' - ' : ¦¦ '¦) .. .-. Yet much may be said in defence of the petition itself ; in the agricultural districts , scores of thousands of tho Scotch do not know the meaning of the Charter , and the introduction of the clause about the Poor Laws is in a language they most all feel . The same maybe sa ^ id of the Itish , and the fact of the people of Great Bvitain petitioning for a Repeal of the Union , -will go fat to ^^ shake their confidence in the lying assertions of the " Modern : Mafcauna . "

      I have to fit 3 te in tho name of the Leifch Charter Asso ciation , that the National Petition was adopted here by a numerous public ; meetlng duly called to consider it .- — That more recently in public metiting a resolution was passed , appointing Mr ; Robert Lowery onr delegate , and reoommeading the unanimous adoption of the petition by the people of Scotland . We have been actively engaged in getting signatures for the petition , and we cannot with any consistency rescind our former resolutions and commence the work anew . We are truly sorry that this schism should have occurred—the two factions , equally our mortal enemies ,

      mast rejoice at it . The Convention new sitting ought to have been called immediately afortUe promulgation of the petition , before any steps had been taken on our part , or the pait of others , to give it effect by our signatures ; had thisCbeen done , the case would have been greatly different 7 ' ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ . " 7-V- . -- ; "¦ ¦" ¦ We are aware that tbe Charter can stand on its own foundation ; but , however much we may regret the extraneous matter contained in the petition , we cannot consent , at the mandate of a Bmall n > v > jority , to adopt another at a period so neat the meeting of the middleclass Parliament . I remain , YOnrs , very truly , JAs . Petk . ie , Secretary , Local Charter Association Mr J . Duncan , Chairman of the Scottish Convention . Lei th , 15 th January , 1842 .
