      CARIiISLE . —The council held their . regalar weekly meeting at the council room , No . 6 , Johneteet , Caidergate . Mr . John Armstrong ia the chair . The Secretary read over the minutes of the last meeting , after which several sums were ' paid ia to the treasurer from various districts . Letters were read by the secretary , to Sir James Graham , Secretary of State for the Home Department , and Mr , Serjeant Goulbourn , in behalf of John Kirkpatrick . who is now undergoing trarisportatida on board the Wirrior hulk , Woolwich , for the manslaughter of the Jate Thomas Jardine , police officer , at the la te election for the borough , when Serjeant

      Goulbourn , P . H . Howard , and William Marshall , Esquires , were candidates . The sentence on Kirkpatrick , which was passed by Lord Chief Justice Penman , was considered a very severe one , under the circumstances , which were not of an aggravated character , having transpired during the heat of a contested election . It appeared from the facts that , after the nomination was over ; the people assembled , followed the two Whig candidates , Messrs . Marshall and Howard , to the Crown and Mitre Inn , hissing and hooting them in a very unruly manner ; that as they , entered the Inn , some sticks and stones were thrown , when Mr . Grahame , the superintendent of police , who was in front of the Inn ^ with a number of his men ; ordered them to charge the people and ¦ drive them back ; . { a . most unfortunate circumstance , for had he forborne for a few minutes , we . feel-convinced the people would have all quietly dispersed : ) when the late Thomas Jartlide rushed

      among the people , striking them violently in all diroctioDs ; indeed , £ o brutal and indiscriminate Was he , as to whom he struck , with his bludgeon , that he knocked down one woman , and struck another with a child in'her arms ; that he also struok a little boy , who fell from -his blow ; and when down , the samo fellow pinched , the boy in a most brutal manner . He also aimed two violent blows at the said John Kirkpatrick , who warded them off ; but who , from an ebuUuioii of . feeling at- 't he ¦ . savage and ferocious conduct of the poiiceman , struck him a blow ia return , with a stick , which knocked hltfl down , and was said to have caused his death . These are the simple and undisguised fa . ota . oi tlw . case ; for which ,. this poor fellow has betn deprived of hu liberty , leaving a poor old father , who wholly depsnded on him for a subsistauco , to the mercy of an unfeeling world . It is hoped that the exertions which have been made in his bebalf may prove successful in getting his sentence mitigated . .

      State of Trade . —At a meeting of the' Town Council , held in the Town Hall , a few days ago , after passmg addresses of congratulation to the Queen and Prinoo Albsrt on her Majesty ' s happy escape from the hands of the assassin Francis , Mr . J . Steel moved , "That the Mayor inako a respectful application to the proper authorities for aporUou of the money collected in constqueiico of ihe Queen ' s letter , for Carlisle , as the distress is very gr . eai ;/ We consider this a very proper ami judicious . proceeding , for much has already beea dono by voluntary subscription , for the . purpose of relieving the great suffering which has existed for some time in

      Carlisle , and now there te a public fund to relieve the manufacturing distress , there is no place moire deserving of a portion Of that fund than the suffering and distressed poor of this district , whose sufferings havefersome time been most acute ; yet they bave borne them with most exemplary patiynce and forbearance . We consider that any monoy which may be obtained could not bo placed in better or safer hands for disposal than in those of the Mayor and Corporation , who might expend it in a very advantageous manner , by making improvements in the' Boroughj not neglecting ,- ' « f ' course , worthy objects who are incapable of labour . — Correspondent ,

      STOOKPORT . —The work of desolation progresses hero at more than railway speed .. The operatives-are famishing for want of . the most common necessaries of lii ' e . It was a favourite' argument with Mr , O'Co ' nhell that . . all he . wanted was to see Ireland on a level with England . Our gracious rulers aro determined to save that gentleman some trouble by reducing England co a level with ¦ Irela-ud . Your correspontieni has this day conversed with a man who . ia in the habit of feeding pins ; consequently he is obliged to gather swill ¦ 'to fatten them on . This swill he keeps in a back yard , locked up in a large hogshead . During the last fourteen days the lock has been four times broken off ,. ' -and-all tbe musty

      crusts of bread , and anything else , that even pigs could devour was stolen . He , however , was determined to watch . About three o ' clock in the morn ing , ho espied a pale , haggard , care-worn looking man , go to the tub , take a . hammer and large nail from out of his pocket , and bre ^ k the staple off , pick the best of the swill , such as ; broken bread , potatoes , &o ., and put them in a tin can , auct marched off . The man waited until he had got a little way from the premises , when . Ac-followed-and . stopped him , aiid charged J : fai with stealing his sv / ill . The poor fellow , -without- hesitation , confessed th ^ t it was he that had broken the lock four times before ; but actual--want forcod him to do it . He fa'd , " ' Sir , if you allow me to take it home , I will

      then willingly po with you to pnson , for then I shall be sure of something to eat , but as it is I have nothing . " Ho asked if his parish would not relieve him ? He answered ho had never tried them , nor would ho ; as he wag sure he shoul < i . have to go into the Ba ? til ? , and that ,- says he , I never will do . The man then went homo with him , and , oh God ! what a sight pre-5-enred itself to his view !—a mother and two little children lying on the bare boards , with nothing to cover their nakedness save the tattered rags worn by them during the day ; the mother , too , very far advanced in a ttate of pregnancy . The father had betih out the day before cadging , as he expressed it , and had on-ly got twopence . In the course of his

      ramble ho met one oi our great Liberals , . of . whom he craved charity : the gentleman very kindly condescended to lecture him on the conduct of the wording men refusing " cheap bread , " and ended a very eloquent and patriotic address by assuring him that they ( the intelligent middle men ) would starve the working . clashes' into submission ; and also informed him that her Majesty wanted a few clever young men like him to go to India , to put down them cannibals . This poor fellow solemnly declared that he and his wife had often been forty-eight hours without tastiug anything but cola ; water : he had often , as he sat by his firelesa htarth watching ¦< he heavings of the bosom of his ejnaciated wife , and heard his innocent little ono cry for bread , ' conutnr plated putting a period to their misery by destroying them , and then destroying himself . This is only ono of thousands of similar and many worse cases . The shopkeepers are on their last legs : hot a day

      passes without three or fovir public aucMcina of their good ? . At the last term for granting licenses , miny landlords were obliged to advauc © money to .. pay for licenses for their tenants or lose them , and if" they lose a tenant now there is every probability of their houses remaining empty tor years ; or if they aro let at all , it must . ' bo at a reduction of perhaps 100 per cent . The house now inhabited by your correspondent has . Within the last ; five-months , fallen 115 per cent . This , I think , is the way for carry ; ifg conviction to their minds ; and yet , strange to isay , out of about 2 , 000 shopkeepers , all Liberals , and sympathisers with the people , how manyj think y-su , bfloiis ; to the ChaniMt Association ? 1 , 900 ? no ; 1 , 000 i no . Guess at ; ain . 501 ) 1 ho ; there aro three out of a Liberal constitut ncy of 2 , 000 !!! Never m \ nd , the best way to their brains is through their tills ! In your next number you shall hear more of this state of things . —Correspondent .

      The Clarb Massacre . — - The Coroner ' s Inquest on the bodies of Michael M ' Namara and Thomaa Daroy , which commenced oni Tuesday , was brought to a conclusion on Friday . Several witnesses were produced , amongst them t \ ro of the pelioemea who were on duty on the fatal evening , and who bwoib positively that the word fire" was given by CapL ¦ De Buyynesi echoed by the Connty , Inspector , and followed up by Mr . Fitzsimpn with the expreasion "fire , fire . " Independently of this testimony ; tha broad features of the caje were the same as have already appeared . On Friday morning the Jury returned the following verdict ; - « That the deceased ! Michael M'Namarav came by Ms death from the effects of a gim-shot wound in the leg , inflicted oi the night of the 6 th June instant , by ono of a Dartw

      ot police , consisting oi sixteen men . stationed oq the Mill-road , for the protection of Mr . Ba ' nnatyne ' s property from a number of people there assembled on said night , bnt by whom of said party siid shot was fired there was no evidence ; we also find that the people were in the act of retiring when said shot was fired , and that no necessity existed for firing we further find that the word ^ fire ' was given to the police by Mr . Brown and Mr . Fifzsimon , immediately after Captain De Ruvynes said , ' if yon don'fc disperse the men must fire { ' but we . consider hia saying so no justification for the order so given . ' This verdict places Mr . Brown and Mr . Fitzsinioii in rather an unpleasant predicament . The Coroner was applied to to issue a warrant for their captioa and committal , but declined to do 60 ; but stated that he woul d report the verdict to the Government .

      RELIEF OF THE UNEMPLOYED POOR BY ALLOTMENTS OF LAND AND BENLFiT LOANS . \ TO THE EDITSR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gentlemen . —When I suggested at a late meeting , that a most effectual alleviation of the existing dutress would be found in affording to our unemployed art ' zuns and operatives the raenns of raising a portion of their subsistence by spade husbandry , some gentlemen seemed to think such a hops over sanguine ; others believed that the experiment had already bsen tried and had proved a failure . Though myself convinced that such an undertaking , being fouude ' d on sound principles , would , if well manned , be attended with considerable benefit , I was not aware , whilst , listening to the above objections , to ¦ what an extent the experiment had already been tried , and what encouraging amount of success had attended it

      I have great pleasure in req-iesting t ' ie attention of my fellow-townsmen to the facts vrhicb bavasinca come to my knowledge , confining myself for the present to tbe principal object , the prospect of finding remunerativ .-labour , for the unemployed , and reserving the subject 61 the economy of manures , to which I alluded the other day , to be treated of with other details in a future communication . In pursuing my inquiries , my first attention wr . s given to what appears to be considered as having been a previous trial ana faiiura of thid mode of nff . ^ rdinn relitf . made at Leeds , during the distress of 1813 . I obtained , through tha kiu ' dnevs' of Mr . Balr . es and of Mr . Cawood , such information as remains concerning ? the result tf inquiries made by the C < in \ mittee Ahtai appointsd , and by tha deputation v ^ ho visited New Lanark to exaraiue the syBtem at work tbuie and also respecting the res-ults nf a conaequent t-xpsiiinant ini ? pade husbandry made litre under the maiiugt-inMit of the parish officers .
