Battye , of Headingley , whilst at Leeds , had the misfortune to lose her purse , containing a £ 20 Bsnk of England Note and three sovereigns . She made known her loss by means of handbills the same day ; and the police having heard that a puTse containing money had been found in airs . Kay's shop . Inspector Hainsworth went there , but both Mrs . Kay and her daughter denied all knowledge of such a circumstance , tta Wednesday , however , a female from Morley , named Charlotte Smith ,

      being acquainted with Hainsworth , went to him and told him that she had , on Tuesday , picked up a purse in Mrs . Kay's shop , which contained three sovereigns and what she thought was a nota , but that it had been taken from her by Mrs . Kay's son , who told her she had nothing to do with it . She added that sh * had called at Mrs . Kay ' s on Tuesday evening b , efore going home , to see iFanj ' ovaer had been foond for the purse , when she was answered in the ^ negative . Acting npon this information , Hainsworth again went to Mrs . Kay's on Wednesday , taxing Mjb . Saritb along with him ; but sho , being in the background , was not seen until Mts . Kay and her daughter had again denied all knowledge of the parse . Bnt when they saw Mrs . Smith Mrs . Kay turned round and acknowledged that her son had taken the purse from her . Search was then made

      for young Kay , and he was found at a public-house in a state of intoxication . On being asked he said that stout lady had called upon him that morning , and to her he had given the purse and money . He waa taken to the police office , where bail was taken for his appearance before the Bench on Thursday When he came , however , he was nearly drank ; and , in reply to questions from the magistrates , he aokhowledged having had the £ 20 note and the three sovereigns , but said he did not know what had become of them , except that they had passed through his hands . The Bench , considering his conduct most unsatisfactory , ordered him to be locked up till next monupg , when he would probably be more sober . Sabfl | jQently tho hearing of the case was put off tiil JMonday , to suit the convenience of all parties . The sum of £ 2 ti was deposited at the police office for the appearance © f Kay .

      . The Watch Committee . —At the nsual weekly meeting of this body , on Thursday , it was resolved , on what authority we know not , but we think the Tate-payers have a right to know , to pay the expencesof Messrs . James and Hepjvorth , which they had incurred by the late trials against them ai York . The money , is , is said , is to eome out of the reword fund . Query—Where doe 3 the reward fond come from 1 Bdbsb Stoles . —During the night of Thursday last , a brown mare was stolen from the stable of Mr . Samnel Petty , in Holbeck-Jan ? . The mare has a white star on her forehead , and stands about fifteen hands high .

      BfBGUJRX . —During th « night of Taesdajr last , the dwelling-house of Mr . John Atkinson , joiiier , in Lady Pit Lane , Huaslet Hall , was broken into by thieves , who obtained admittance by forcing a cellar grate at the rear of the premises . Whilst they were engaged in ransacking the house , Mrs . Atkinses , ovedbeard them , and got up , which caBsed a sudden flight , and some property , which had been packed up for removal was left behind . The thieves obtained several articles of silver plate , principally spoons , most of which were marked with the letters A . I . R ., and some satin and ^ silk dresses , handkerchiefs , linen shirts , &c The amount in value is pretty considerable . On Wednesday , the Leeds Police offieers received information that a satin dress had been offered for sale at Wakeneld , and on proceeding there it was found to be one of those stolen which bad been detained , but a woman who offered it made her escape , and hitherto no further trace has been heard of her .

We understand that the legislature is about to interfere to procure the liberation of those debtors whose confinem ? Bi has been of long standing . Tkere is another person who has been in the castle upwards of twenty seven years .

      B&mx > tobd Mabket , TmrBSDAY . —TFooJ— has been rather more doing in this artiole during the week , and the stock of combing sorts is _ scarcely so abundant as for some time past , which is to be attribnted to the indifference of the Staplers to purchase fresh stock , seeing no chance of realiz ing a profit by his transaction ? . In prices no alteration , bat a greater firmness is manifested . Tarn . —The demand for Yarn continues steady , but no alteration in prices . —Puce . —There has scarcely been so good an attendance of merchants to day , or has the business done been eqnal to last week , vet a fair quantity of goods has changed hands , and the prices very firm .

      Repobted Dbath PfiOM Stabvatiom . —During this week , a report has been very generally circulated that a man had died from starvation , somewhere in White Abbey , Bradford . Inquiries into * he matter have disclosed the following circumstances . The deceased person allnded to , was named James Greenwood , he was a wool-comber , aged forty years , and belonged to the township of Heaton . He had lodged for near two years with a comber named Heyworth , who resided in Boyes' Buildings , Bricklane , asd had been afficted with a cough and excessive expectoration during the winter , though he had not given up his work , but was employed till about three weeks ago . He had never sought for medical aid , notwithstanding the repeated warnings of his disease be

      landlady and others that the symptomsof exhibited were such as indicated consumption On the 24 ; h ulu , having been obliged to give up working , not having any money , and not being in any benefit society , he applied to Sykes , the relieving officer for Heaton , at the board of guardians , for relief , and was told by him that he could not be relieved there , bnt must apply at the pay-room m Heaton , on the following Tuesday . He dia so , and then Sykes told him that he could not relieve him , as he was resident in Bradford , and therefore he must apply to Mr . Reanpy at the Court-house . On Wednesday he went to the Conrt-honse , and made application to Mr . Reaney , who said be eonld not relieve him then , he must wait until Friday , when he would have to appear before the board of guardians . On Thursday , Mrs . Heyworth went to Mr . Reaney , who » t firat refused to relieve nntD Friday , bnt on hearing her statement

      of tie case , be gave her Is . to get over the day , aBd bid her tell him to attend at the board-room next day . He was too ill to comply with this direction , and in consequence , Mrs . Heyworth became his deputy * Becond time , and attended the board on hisbehalt . She stated the case , and an order was made for & Sd per week , ' whieh vfaspaid on Saturday , and anotefor the EUTgeon was also gives . Mr . Robinson , in whose district White Abbey stands , received thenote near noon and abont one o ' elockheattendedjon Greenwood , whom be found in the very last stage of consumption , and apparently past all hopes of recoTery . Be attended him on the Saturday and Monday , and called on the Tnesday , bnt at that time he was dead , having expired on Monday night while eating pan » 'f an orange . Hk death was very sudden , for but a minnte before he filled a pipe of tobaeco and sat up in bed smoking it , and appeared very c ^ eerftii-Tke assertion as to lri » having died from want , appears-to be unfounded , inasmuch as previous to his ceasing to work he had what he choose as sai-knascej

      and afterwards he was fed with toast , coffeo , and other foed of a similar description , and on the Monday before bis death , he took part of a beef steak which Mrs . Heyworth purchased and cooked for him . Dangeb of Plating with Edged Tools . —About half-past eight , last Saturday morning , an ostler , named Sellers , employed at the Roe Back Hotel , in Bradford , put his owq existenoe in imminent jeopardy , under the following singular circumstances : —While talking with a party , with whom he was drinking , on the melanoholy death of his master , he very imprudently took Hp a knife , to shew them how the unhappy man inflicted his own death-wound , and in bo doing he made a deep gash across his own throat about two inches long , and just over the carotid artery . Mr . MWlichan , surgeon , was immediately called in , and fatal consequences happily prevented . The man is gradually recovering .

      Fire at Eccleshill . —Early on Sunday morning last , a fire was discovered in the boiler-house attached to Messrs . Johnson and Co ' s scribbling mill , Apperley-lane , Eecleshill . Information was conveyed to the Bradford engine-house , the alarm bell was rang , and in a very short time after both the town ' s engines and also that belonging to the Leeds and Yorkshire Assurance Company arrived at the mill and com'nenoed playing upon the fire , which was partly subdued , the roof of the building having fallen in . The damage was confined entirely to the boiler-house , which will require , perhaps £ 40 to put it in repair again . The origin of the fire is as yet unexplained , bqt nothing has transpired to favour the supposition than it was other than accidental .

      HAW 2 CR . —Erer since December last , the trade in this town has been getting worse and worse . A great number in the various trades are now out of work . The hosiery trade , the principal one in this locality , is at present extremely dull . A great number of the workmen are out of employment , and those still in work are stinted to various small sums per week . Still they have endeavoured by small weekly contributions , to maintain those thrown off ; but it is to be feared that they cannot leng continue , as the unemployed are increasing weekly , while at the same time those partially employed are getting more and more unable to contribute anything towards their support . In one of tha factories , a notice was put on the door of the warehouse a few days ago , that the stint would in future be only four shillings for siDgle , and SIX

      Bhillnyja for married man per week ; but that the men might work more if they would take goods in payment . Is this not the truck system 1 The masters in this factory aTe particularly conspicuous as Corn Law Repealers—real" weeping advocates " of the poor man ^ cause . Good , tender-hearted souls ! some of them cannot even get a sound Bleep in their beds for thinking on the miserable con dition of the working men of this country ! and ail oaused by thesa abominable Corn Law 3 1 ! Really it is astonishing that a class of working men will still follow , aye , and even applaud , such men , or for one moment believe their profession of regard for the interests of the working classes , when it is notorious that they are Invariably in the habit of seizing every opportunity whioh their position gives them of still further reducing the small pittance which the workmen receive , —Correspondent .

      BAfiBBEAD .-The Leaguers in Renfrewshire . —Mr . Acland , the respectable hero of ihe League , has made this locality the scene of his perambulation for some time past . On delivering bis second lecture in Milston on Friday , 30 th of March , he boasted of the superiority of the Corn Law agitation over any other . Mr . S . Kidd , of Glasgow , challenged Mr . Acland to a public discussion in Milston , Barrhead . or any other town in Scotland , England , or Wales , but the wily repealer did sot accept it , declaring that he was the servant of the League , and they bad resolved to hold no more

      discussions . In consequence of this , Mr . Kidd leotured io Mrs . Walker ' s large hall , Barrhead , on the evening of Monday iast , Mr . James Kepil in the chair on a Repeal of the Corn L&W 3 , Oa which 00-casion he proved that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not benefit the working and shopkeeeping classes . The hall was crowded to suffocation , aud although the lecturer had publicly challenged Aoland or any of hia party to defend the Free Trade doctrines , there was no opposition . The League is completely chop-f&llen , and has declared thai they will hold no more pulic meetings , but will agitate tho public works through the medium of intimidation .

      STXL&KRAEB . . —A meeting of the anti-Corn Law Association was held in the Town Hall , on the evening of Friday , Mr . Irving , one of the Town Council in the chair . Mr . Irving having briefly explained the object of the meeting which was to petition the House of Commons for a repeal of the Corn Laws , Mr . W . Magee , bookseller , arose and begged permission to ttate . to the working men present , his views of the efforts now being made to obtain an immediate and total repeal of the Corn Laws . He said that many present , no doubt , recollected the manifold and expensive exertions which had been made by the British public foT the emancipation of the black people in the Weat Indies , and at last had to pay twenty millions sterling for the mere name of emanciation , for they had bo more power in making the laws they they had to obey , than the non-electors of England .

      The penny postage was yielded also upon condition that should the revenue be injured thereby , new taxes would be imposed to make up the difference . Hence arose Peel ' s infernal Income Tax , and tariff Bcheme , and how that affected the working man ' s condition , the crowds who now traversed our popu lous cities , exclaiming bread or death , could best explain . For theBe reasons , I am , said the speaker , decidedly of opinion that no bad law will ever be repealed by our present class-legislation , more especially if it affects their own interest , until they are perfectly satisfied they will be fully compensated for it . The Chairman said he agreed with every thing Mr . M . had advanced , but as the meeting was called , for the express purpose of petitioning for a repeal of the Corn Laws , he hoped that nothing would be said or done to mar the harmony of it , and if any one called a meeting for the advocacy of the Charter , he pledged himself to give it his support .

      Stockisgs made in HAtF an Hopr . —We lately alluded to the manufactory of a new patent kuitting machine , established in the vicinity of Newabbey village ; and we ar « happy to say , that the first maohine constructed there is now all but finished , and is already in working order . The merit of inventing the machine belongs to Mr . Thorburn , stocking manufacturer in this town ; and although the model was completed fully seven years ago , the delays incident to all sach inventions , and especially those caused by our complicated patent laws , have hitherto prevented consummatiou . The machine is compressed into a very Bmall cempaBs , and possesses nothing in common with the stocking-fegne now in use , with the single exception

      on by the workman over a certain number of needles , accordiog to the breadth of the artiole to be made , the mechanism is set a-going , and driven by waterpower , moves backwards and forwards , adding a row at each movement to the rapidly forming web , the workman having nothing to do but see that all is going on properly , without the necessity , aa in the common frame , of labouring either with his hands or feet . In the formation of stockings , for example , the greater or less number of needles brought into play at the will of the workman variea the breadth of the web , to suit the tapering necessary to fit the varying thickness of the leg and foot ; while in the formation of the heel , whioh , as all housewives know to their cost , requires an extra fortification against the friction of the shoe , three threads are brought ai once into play by a novel and beautiful

      adaptation of the machinery and a treblerow of loops formed in that tender part by one ef the same movements . The stockings which we saw on Saturday last , made in this manner , are of a beautiful fabric , the regularity of the looping far Burpassing that of the ordinary manufacture . The whole process from the top of the leg to the tip of the toe , can be completed in the Bhort space of half-an-hour , when flre stocking is ready to be stitched , and then worn ; and it is , moreover , anticipated , that experience will enable a single workman to superintend the movements of two machines at one and the same time . Even without this , however , the saving of Jlabour ss very great , as by the present method a stocking cannot be made in less than an hour ana ten minutes , while as before observed , the new machine obviates the necessity of any bodily exertiou . —Dumfries Courier .

      The Dbvil among the Bakers . —On Monday morning last , an occurrence took place in the bakehouse of a most respectable tradesman—a baker living near the Market-place—which , were it not for tha rather serious consequences which ensued , might be deemed of a somewhat amusing—as it Ib most certainly—if true , of a startling nature ^ It appears from the statement of the whole of five workmen employed at that time , that at about half * past one o ' clock on the morning in question they were at work in the bakehouse , and while industriously putting the dough through the processes of kneading , rolling , and pricking , were somewhat startled by a knock at the back window , which looks into a yard , inaccessible from withonk . One of the men looked out , bnt seeing nothing , their labour was resumed , when suddenly was heard a loud knock at one of the paste tubs , and soon after another of

      most tremendous violence on a smaller tub in another part of the bakehouse . No wonder that the alarmed bakers' kneeB « note each other—that their , hands trembled , and their faces became paler than the dough they were kneading , at all this . And now lheir alarm was increaetd by a eecop . d tap at the window , which may be moie easily imagined than we can describe . At length one of them—a man vre are informed , sadly addicied ta profane ewearing < aud vrho had but a short timo previous , in dreadful language , vyished himstlf in tho abode of the tricked , yen tared to own ' the window , and there

      —if he may be believed , he saw a sight to make the stoutest quail , and one Which , to tho astonishment and alarm of hie fellow-workman , caused him , with hair on end , to red back horror-stricken into the room , and ; fall insensible on the floor . When recovered from his fainting fit , the man was conveyed home , and has , we understand , ever since been ill , unable to sleep , and dreadfully excited . When he had so far recovered as to state the cause of his fainting , he declared—and the manner in whioh he spoke showed how truly he believed what he Baid—that on looking out of the window he saw a dreadful figure , whieh he took to be the devil , with enormous glaring eyes , a body covered with green scales , and all enveloped in flame

      , pointing towards him ; that horror-struck at the sight , his vision failed him , his blood ran cold , and he fell dowa insensible to all that followed . This occurrence bo worked upon one workman—a drunkard—that he joined the Temperance Society the next day , and being unabls to sleep in consequence of his fright , fell down at his work a night or two afterwards , and unfottuaately chopped hia finger off with the machine he was working . The fearful figure which is stated to have been leen may have been easily ' * a coinage of the brain , " but tho puzzling part of the story is , that all th « fire men should hear distinctly the knocks which preceded the alleged vision . We believe the men have not since been intruded on in their work , by this , at all times , unwelcomo visitor . —Hull paper .

      Sxmovs Accident . —A great gathering of Mathewites was held on Sunday , at a place called Minanebridgo , in the county of Cork , which by the falling of a platform had very nearly led to a very tragical result . The affair is thus described in the Cork Examiner : —"' Dear friends , '" « aid Father Mathew , " * we are met here this day for a' —just as the word was spoken , the long beam or scantling , crossing from pole to pole , and supporting the front of the platform , was broken aoross with a loud crash , and down came the ; whole stage , with the band and gentlemen who were grouped round Father Mathew . The frame-work alone remained , and as the people who stood on the platform and the beams which composed its flooring toll together to the ground , a

      wild shout of terror and dismay broke from the mighty multitude , and piercing shrieks from those who fought to extricate themselves from the mass . The only one who clung to the remaining part of the frame-work was the apostle , who calmly held on by the ropes , and then , although with gome little difficulty , was helped to descend from his perilous elevation , a height of ten feet from the ground . After tha first rush and confusion necessarily consequent upon such an accident , it was discovered that , with the exception of one poor cake woman , who was bruised , from men , women , and children tumbling over her , there was no mat . rial personal injury suffered . She ,

      however , soob recovered from the fright she received , and was amply compensated by Father Mathew for the loss of her basket and cakes . Had the platfqrm fallen towards the people , who stood before it in one dense mass , the consequences would , no doubt , have been fatal ; but , mest providentially , it fell in the opposite direction , and against the rise of the field , and thus numbers who wore actually standing Under the front , for shelter from tho rain which then descended , were happily and miraculously saved { Some musical instruments were shatterd , and some £ armeuts were rent , besides a few Blight scrapes and contusions receivedand this , thank Heaven ! was the total amount of the injury sustained .

      Outlawry at Brighton . —A novel occurrence took place on Sunday morning , in the parish chnrchyard , just as the congregation were leaving the church . Previously to the service , the Sheriffs ' officer bad posted on the door a proclamation of outlawry against a Mr . Knight , formerly a surgeon and apothecary , reeiding in Sillwood-place , and now non est ; and at the close of the sermon , the officer , elevated on a tomb olose to the principal door , read , three several times , a proclamation , warning the said Mr . Knight , that unless he appeared on the

      following day before the Barons of nor Majesty ' s Exchequer , he would be " outlawed . " The congregation speedily fonned a circle around tho officer , and at the repetition of the appalling word exchanged looks of surprise with each other ; but as their astonishment was reaching its height , the officer , having finished his duty , left them to their wonderment . Tbe copy posted on the churoh-door notified that the proceedings are taken by a considerable number of Brighton tradesmen , to whom the outlaw was , we hear , indebted to a large amount .

      Loss of Two Shi ps by Firr . —Accounts have , withiH the last two or three days , been received at the different insurance companies in the city , of the total Iosb of two vessels , with their cargoes : —the schooner Agues , belonging to London , and tbe brig Jemima , of Glasgow . The loss of the first-named vessel , which was a fast sailing schooner , about 150 tons burden , occurred on the night of Friday , the 24-h ult ., lat . 64 . deg . 9 . h . long . 3 , east , while on her passage from Havre to Hamburg , having a valuable general cargo on . board . She had been but a few days on her passage , when , at about h&lf-paSt nine o ' clock at night , toe watch on deck were startled by the appearance of smoke issuing through the main hatchway , which was instantly torn off , and , to tbe dismay Of all on board , they found the

      cargo to be oa fire ; but it was evidently at the very bottom of tha vessel . For three or four hours water wtka poured down in torrents amongst the cargo , without producing the slightest effect upon the fire ; in fact , it was rapidly gaining head , and , as a last resource , the hatches were closed , battened down , and means adopted to stifle the flames . In the meanwhile the master , whose conduct throughout is spoken of | n terms of high praise by the crew , brought the ship round into a different course , in hopes of meeting with some vessels , and lights were hoisted at the mast bead as a signal of distress . At about half-past two o ' clock the destruction of the vessel became inevitable , for tho decks were nearly burnt through ; and before there waa time for the orow to launch the boat , the devastating element

      burst forth m an immense volume from the m&m hatchway , in its ascent communicating to the mast , sails and rigging , aud , ere a quarter of an hoar had elapsed , the whole vessel from stem to stem presented one vast body of flame ; the orew , who had previously jumped into the longboat , remaining within a Bhort distance of the burning ship nntil she went down , which did not take place until between six and seven o ' clock . Everything in her was by that timo consumed ; the mast had fallen overboard , and nothing remained but hjec mere shell . Two hours after the vessel had sunk , the crew were picked up by the Norwegian bavque Soaostre , Captain HokMroai Holmstrand

      forHarhagen , the fare having been seen by them at % distance , and were bearing down to afford assistance On board of that veasel the master and rooo ' ived the utmost , kiodaess and on Monday week last they were safely put , ashore at Texal , near Niew * iiep , The vessel and cargo are only partly insured . The destruction of the other ship , the Jemima ., of Glasgow , by fire , happened . on the morning of Wednesday , the 22 nd of February , in lat . 35 . long . 18 , under similar circumstances . Soon after the outbreak of the flimes , a vessel , called the Gartshexrie , came alongside and took the crew on board , and afterwards landed teem safely at Madeira . The ship is fully insured at Glasgow .

      MOST EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE . COURT OP REQUESTS , CASTLE STREET , April 11 th . 8 harmam « . lord monteaqle . Much surprise was created in this Court to-day by the presence of Lord Monteagle , accompanied by several friends and gentlemen connected with the Treasury and other Government offices . The plaintiff , William Shaman , who , it appears , was formerly a constable in the city police , stated that he claimed the sum of £ 5 , which he had put into the hands of Lord Monteagle for tire putpose of procuring him a situation under Government . A Commissioner . —Are you sure that Lord Monteagle received the money 1 Plaintiff—Yea ; I saw the money in the hands of Lord Momeagle .

      The Commissioner then calleion Lord Monteagle for hia answer , when \ His Lordship stated , that one afternoon in tbe mont b of May , 1840 , whep about entering the House of Peers , the plaintiff put a letter * into his bands which he did not then stay to oper . ^ - but broke the seal and examined after entering the House when he found that it contained an enclosure , which prored to be a Bank of England note for £ 5 . with a request that he would procure for the writer a situation under Government either » 9 a Custom-house officer , or as a letter-carrier in the Posfc-ofBce . Immediately after he ( Lord Monteagle ) returned to the entrance of the House and inquired of the : police-constable on dirty i whether he had seen a person give him aletter I'The

      officer replied in the affimative , upon which he directed the policeman to endeavour to End the individual and bring him back . The policeman tried for some time , but was unsuccessful in his search . He _ Lo ? i dloriteagle ) consequently retained possession of the note and the letter till the plaintiff applied for an answer . Being then desirous to ascertain whether the writer had offended against the law ia ignorance , he granted him a « interview , when , finding ttat his knowledge of such matters was much superior to that of the lower orders in general , he referred the plaintiifto the Lords of the Treasury , and sent his letter and the

      enclosure to their Lordships , who after some consideration determined , although a very bad case , that they would not indiet the writer , bat resolved on ' paying the £ 5 note into the Bank of England , to the I credit of the Exchequer , as conscience money , which was accordingly dene on / he 21 st of Decembe r * 1840 . 1 The plaintiff after applying several times to official parties to ascertain the result , was referred to him ( Lord Monteagle ) , who referred him back to the Lords of the Treasury , and ; after some time , as tbs ! plaintiff found he could not bbtain either restitatton ! of hi 8 money or the appointment he sought , ixe took out the present summons . ¦

      His Lordship , in confirmation of the statement , produced the Treasury minutes , and varioas-eSieial letters and documents , including the bank- receipt for the £ 5 note , and was ( about to produce Mr . Bulloy , of the Treasary , and other witnesses , when The Commissioners intimated that they- were sati&fied that the plaintiff had no claim on his-Lordship , and dismissed the case . ; His Lordship then called the attention- of the Court to a clause in the Act of Parliament ander which tho court was constituted , wherein it was expressly stated , that " no Government offi *» shall be amenable to that court for any act performed in bis official capacity , " and the reason why * he did not claim exemption in this oase on the ground of tbe non-jurisdiction of the court was , that ho considered it better to go into tho merits , as a-full explanation was duo to the country as weM as to himself . *
