      to 4 estitutioT and desperation—starved thousands to death by law—made this country the seat of sui-«\ 4 es and murderers—dismantled our cottages of their comforts and our castles of their security—a measure which has shaken the title to property , by removing protection from labour—an enactment which is so di £ organizing in its operations , that it has produced the entire derangement of car manufacturing system , by a Tain attempt io relieve ihe affricvUurista from the burden of Oxlr ' surplus' population ! " No , Sir , it is not impossible that yon can ever forgel the foundation of thai measure , "which has avowedly overturned ene Government , and which will , if persisted in , as assuredly remove their successors .

      " How true are those words of Holy Writ , « He made ' a pit and digged it , and is fallen into the pit -which he made . His mischief shall return upon his own head , and his violent dealisg shall come down upon his own pate . * Truly the Government which so secretly plotted against the poor are sunk down into the pit which they made ; in the vet which they hid is their own foot taken . * Their successors will ako , if , after the discovery of that secret plot against the poor , they should continue in that transgression , they will also " sink down into the pit ' " The fact that yon wished to hide that document , Siat confidential communicatisn , ' from Parliament and the public , is proef sufficient , not only that you well remember it , but alas that you knew , if once that document were brought to light , the treason against England would be discovered , and its authors consigned to deserved infamy and execration .

      " You thought to have hidden that monstrons iniquity j but , in the inscrutable providence of God , your sin has found you out .

      . THE MUTILATED BODY AT LEEDS . ADJOCBJ » ED IK QUEST . The adjourned inquest to enquire concerning the death of a , female unknown , which was recently found in the cut ax Knostrop , was resumed at the Court House , Leeds , on Monday evening last , before John Blackburn , Esq . The Court having beea opened , Tne CoEoiiEB enquired of tbe Policeman , if be had any further evidence to offer , and having been answered in the negative , he said that the last lime they met , enquiries were directed to be made of ihe lock keeper if any strange vessels had been known to stay in- the cut , under any circumstances , beyond

      tbe time necessary for them to do so , and about the period when it might b $ supposed the body was put in the . water , and in answer thereto the lock keeper said that no vessels , so far as his knowledge went , had remained in the cat ; coal boats had done so , but only under ordinary circumstances , and nothing definite could be gathered from this circumstance . With regard , also , to the young woman missing from Coat Hill , near Halifax , the police had that morning received information that her body had been taken ont of the navigation al Salterhebble , on Sunday . There was , therefore , no necessity for prolonging the inquiry farther , as if anything should subsequently transpire , the case would be quite safe in the hands of the magistrates .

      Mr . Womebslet , one of the Jury , inquired if any thing had been heard of the young woman who , at their last sitting , was stated to have been missing from Stanley Ferry ? The CoBOMSt—inquiries have been made , and it appears she left htr uncle ' s house , stating she was going to obtain a- situation elsewhere . Her friends had no reason to doubt thi 3 . and the impression on their minds is , that she has obtained a situation in some distant part of the country . This was satisfactory , and tbe coroner then proceeded to sum up the whole case , which he aid in the following words : — It appears from the evidence of Austin and Dale that n tbe Sunday , the 29 th ef last month , they saw something float ing in the river at Knostrop , which , on being brought to shore , tamed out to be the trunk of a female . The same substance bad been sees abont the

      same place the day before by Mrs . Sean ; and , although curiosity led her to touch it with a piece of stick , she had no idea that it was part of a human body . The place where Ihe trunk was discovered and its immediate locality affords no evidence worth commenting upon , immediately upon the discovery , however , the witness , Jonathan Beau , in a hasty and somewhat unfeeling miiintr , recommended that the trunk should be buried , and accompanied his recommendation with an expression which , at the time the evidence was given , might probably create an unfavourable impression ; still there * was nothing in his conduct bnl what was

      perfectly reconcileable and consistent with an entire ignorance of any previous knowledge of the body . It follows , therefore , that no importance whatever can fairly be attached to anything which occurred either in the finding of the trunk or in tbe interval which elapsed before it was placed iDto the custody of tbe police . From that time te the present , notwithstanding nn--mertns reports , and communications of a private nature , nothing has transpired to lead to the idendity of the body . It remain n , therefore , for yon to consider your verdict upon the evidence which has been adduced . The medical

      evidence can leave no doubt that the trunk was that of a woman who had arrived at maturity , and whose age had probably been about twenty-five . From the same evidence it wonld appear that death had arisen from hemorrhage produced by violence of some description , but the absence of the head and the upper and lower extremities must leave it a matter of coDjectare as to tbe nature of the violence offered . The mutilated state of the trunk , its having been exposed to the action of are to & considerable extent , and then- having been thrown into the river , are circumstances so ntterly at variance with the probability of death having resnlted from natural csuses , as to raise an irresistible inference that a most inhuman and revolting murder has been perpetrated . Among the

      numerous conjectures which have own ventured , there was one which at first sight seemfed tohavesomeplauBibility iu it , and that was the hope that the trunk in qnestion had been in the bands of medical students for anatomical dissection ; bnt whtn you consider that the trunk itself , while containing so many of the organs of life , had been subject to no dissection whatever—and that the limbs had been separated In a rough and unskilful manner , the presumption is , I think , repudiated . There is also the further fact , that after death , and before the upper extremities had been removed , the body had been most extensively burnt , and this of itself wonld serve at once to disprove the assumption taat it bad been the act oi a medical student . U the body bad been obtained for anatomical purposes , there could have existed no reason

      or motive for this mutilation and concealment . To argue upon the possibility of the position just alluded to , yon must believe that death arose from natural causes , and that seems improbable from the medical evidence . Strongly as it might have been hoped , for the sake of humanity and the state of civilization 'n which we live , that this had beea the work of a medics ) stHdent , land without jumping at once to the conclusion that a murdt . r has been committed , this appeared the only feasible explanation of the circumstances , ) I am bound to say that all ths evidence goes to negative # uch an assumption beyond any reasonable doubt . On the other hand , revolting as such conduct would be considered , and zreatly as it would be condemned , the offence would be aggravated by suffering the public excitement

      to continue . An ample confession would , in such a case , be both honourable ard palliating . It is impossible for the medical mtn to speak with absolute certainty as to the precise cause of death ; but they consider that the empty condition of the heart and large Wood Tessels , and the complete abse-ce of any traceB of coaguia in them , together with the bloodless condition of the viscera , are strong grounds for coming to the conclusion , that death resulted from hemorrhage , occasioned by violence ; and they cannot Teaaonsbly account for death in any other way The evidence then niugt briDg you to the conclusion tkat death arose from violence , ami you wiil have to say whether that violence had been inflicted by the female btrself with a view of committing , suicide , or whither it was the result of accident , or en&her some person or

      ; -persons unknown committed muTatr . Medical evidence negatives the idea of suicide , and it would , 1 fear , be stretching the imagination too far , and indulging in a most futile hope , to suppose that the violence had been accidental . All the circumstances of the case—the mutilation—the burning—the violence to the chest after death—the concealment of the rest of the body—the immersion of the trunk in the River Aire , and the total absence of any excuse or imaginable motive for such a course of proceeding must , 1 think , briDg you to the painful conclusion that the woman , whoever she may fee , has beea most barbarously murdered . If you can see any gronnds for reasonable doubt , you will find yoai verdict accordingly ; but if you agree with me that the evidence is clear and convincing , you must flfid a verdict of Wiifol Murder against some person or persons unknown .

      The Jurv then , without retiring , unanimously relumed a Yerdirt of " WILFUL MUBDEK AGAINST SOME PESSON OR PEHSONS UNiiNOWN . " At the termination of the enquiry , Mr . Ralph MarHand , one of the Borough Justices , entered the room , and on being informed of the result expressed his entire acquiescence ? and stated that the matter beisg thus left in the hands of the Magistrates , on their behalf he might say that no rrouble or expense wonld deter them from the fullest investigation of every rumour that might afterwards arise , in order , if possible , to remove the veil from this hitherto mysterious case . He thanked the Coroner and Jury for their great attention to the matter .

      AlPRETON " . —At a meeting of rate-payers here , the other day , it waa resolved to discontinue the services of a paid constable . CHtraca-IUTB Meetikg . —On Sunday , February 12 ih , a notice was posted on the door of the parish church , Sutton-in-Ashfifild , Noits ., calling a meeting of theratepayera , to beheld ontbeUthinBtaut , at eleven 0 clock in the forenoon . At the time appointed , a number of working men and a few of the middle class attended . The Rev . William Goodacre unceremoniously took the chair ,-and introduced the business , when it was moved by Mr . John Butterworth , and seconded by Mr . Benjamin Burton , "That a rate of twopence-halfpenny in the pound be granted to repair the church " , &o . Mr .

      aamuel ± © x , moved , and Mr . Henry Butterworth seconded as an amendment , " That the consideration for granting ^ vole be postponed til l that day twelvemonths . " But the Rev . Chairman'positively refused to put the amendment . Mr . John Tomlinson said , t hat as the chairman had refused to do his duty , he should move that he leave the chair , which being seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , on being put to the meeting , was carried by a large majority . But on the Rev . Gentleman refusing to go , it was stated that Dr . W lkinB of Nottingham was ousted out of the chair ; when he replied that he might have to be ousted out of it . ItLwas thenimoved by Mr . John Tomlinson , and seconded by Mr . Henry Butterworth , That Mr . Joseph Robinson do take the chair , " which was carried by a very large majority . But still the Rev . Gentleman would not vacate the chair . The meeting then placed another chair for ihe elected chairman , which he took

      but being low in stature , he arose and mounted a settle , that he might have a better view of the meeting , when he put the amendment , which being put to the meeting , was carried without any opposition , the Churchmen being ashamed to hold up their hands . Having failed in this point , Mr . John Butterworth demanded & poll , which was appointed to take place on Monday , the 20 ih inst ., in the vestry , between the hours of ten and fonr . On Monday last , both parties being in attendance , at ten o ' clock , the polling commenced , but . owing to the general poverty of the people { as all were required to be up with their rates ) and the unwillingness of the greatest part of the middle class to pay , the voting went on very slowly . When turned three o'clock , the churchwarden in attendance said that he had jast received informatisn that the polling was illegal , and soon after closed the book with the consent of all parties .

NOTTINGHAM . —A delegate meeting of the framework-knitters of the counties of Nottingham , Leicester , and Derby , was held an the 20 th of this month , at the Plongh and Harrow Inn , Nottingham . A good number of delegates were present . It was unanimously resolved , " That the statement of regulation agreed to by this meetiug shall be printed and circulated among the hosiers in the said counties withont delay , and that the deputation appointed by this meeting shall afterwards wait upon the hosiers , and respectfully solicit them to adopt the same .

      TODMOEDEN .-Od Monday night , according to notice , a meeting of the freeholders and ratepayers was held in the large room of the Golden Lion Inn , to nominate twenty persons , out of which the magistrates are to chose constables for the ensuing year . Previous to the meeting taking place the League had sent round a man to get all the lackies and lickspittles they bad at their call to attend ; but it was all to no purpose ; the lads attended , and the first business was electing a chairman , which resul ted in placing Mr . Robert Brook in that situation . The list jvhich they moved was met by an amendment , which was carried ; and the whole twenty are of the right sort .

      MANCHESTER . —Doings of the Leacue . — The Anti-Corn Law party are endeavouring so get up an address to their pet , Dicky Cobden , purporting to be from the working men of Manchester , and in order to accomplish this they dare not go to work in that honest straightforward manner that men having truth on their side would adopt , namely , call a public meeting , and put Mr . Oobden and his doings to the test by taking the opinion of the working classes in a fair and open manner ; no , they know full well , that if they were to do so , that the working men of Manchester would prove to the world that they have no sympathy with Mr . Cobdeu , nor his " Free-trade" humbug . Toey are sending circulars to the various factories , calling upon the employers to send a delegate to a meeting , accompanied by the following address to Dicky the Rover : —

      " To Richard Cobden , Ehq ., Mepre * entative of Slockport , in Ihe Commons House of Parliament . " Sir , —We the undersigned operatives in the employ of , Manchester , address you aa the leader of the great movement in favour of frte-trade , " to thank you fur ytur past exertions , and to urge you Lo future tfiorts on behalf of the oppressed and suffering industry of this country . England produces a greater quantity of manufactured arsicles than the people wiih Ltieir present means of purchasing can consume . Thu

      land of this country uudur thu influence of tbe so-much boasted system of piotection , does not produce aa much food as is requisite for the subsistence of the peopie . The Corn Laws aud other monopolies prevent the exchange of our surplus manufactures for the food of other countries , and thus reduce the demand for our labour , lower our wages , and prevent us from obtaining a sufficiency of food , and leave us in a state of privation and suffeiing , whilst the industry and commerce of the country are made subservient to tbe supposed interests of the unjustly favoured lauded amvocracy , to whom all other classes are sacrificed .

      " You have nobly struggled to free our beloved country from the thraldom of Landlord monopolies , and to exalt tbe condition of the great mass of the people , by endeavouring to provide an enlarged field for the exercise of their indu&try . Allow us to iutreat you to go on , being assured that in this noble struggle success wilj eventually attend your efforts , aa the triumph of justice in our holy cause must be Certain . Our zsalous co-operation shall be freely given , a . d we hope that the working men through the kingdom , whatever may be their political opinions , will unite together to assist you to destroy the accursed Corn and Provision Laws , and thus strike off the shacklbs from our industry , and restore to our distressed country , prosperity and happiness . With gratitude we subscribe our names ,

      ( Here follow the signatures . ) The circular in which the address was enclosed called upon the masters to see that a delegate was sent to a meeting to be held at the Bull's Head , London-road , on Friday evening , at eight o'clock Were these delegates to bo elected by the workpeople ! Not a bit of it . The employer was the party who sent the representative , —not to represent the feelings of his wprkfellows , nor his own opiisiens , but the will of his master ; atid , as might be expected , the meeting was composed of their , "lickspittles" and overlookers , with a very few exceptions . Nay , in fact , there was one master there who actually stated that he was the representative of his men . However , theie is seldom a meetingjwithout

      some good Chartist getting into their assemblies But , notwithstanding their exertions , there wero very few delegates assembled : and even those , on account of one or two good men being present , could not agree among themselves about passing the address ; the honest part of them wanting to have a public meetiug oi delegates to be called . But this would not answer their purpose ; aud the Chairman , who is a well-known tool of tbe League , distinctly stated that that would not . do . But he thought that Mr . Cobden wonld come to Manchester about Easter , when it mi ^ ht be safe to cal l a public meeting in the Free Trade Hall ; and there is no doubt but it would be filled with the working classes . We beg leave to tell him that if they dare to call a

      public meeting in the Kobbers' Hall ; it shall be well filled with the working classes . And further , that if 3 Ir . Cobden will only have the honesty to come before tne working men of Manchester , they will give hkn to understand that they are well acquainted with the question of free trade ; and also of the objects of himself and hie colleagues . But why not call the meeting iiow ? Why put it off unul Easter \ Will the people be more wise then ? Tfle League staled broadly ., at tfce late banquet , that it was the people ' s ignorance that kept them from joining them . Will that ignorance be removed at " Easter 1 Not a bit of h . What is the object , then ? We perfectly unders ' -and . the matter . T le League imagine that the poor fellows that are to be made

      the victims of their " plug revolution" will by that time be locked up ; and that by this means the people's "barking dogs" will be removed , and therefore , they think that they can first divide , and then devour the flock . We beg leave , however , to tell them , if this be their object , they are " reckoning without their host ; " and this they wiil find , if they will come boldly before the people . Let them not lay the flattering nnetibn to their souls , that there will be no one to prevent them from thrusting their follies down the throats of the unwary part of the community . "We earnestly hope , however , that they will call a public meeting and if they do , we promise them that they will uot have it all their own way , vrithout the Chartists having a say ia the matter . —Correspondent .
