      3 Jt eeab Pbiexds , —As fax as my personal liberty is concerned in tbeir result , the trials are now OT 6 T . They are not done with altogether : the fourth count is jet undecided ; and I "wait nntO it c > nTl iare been decided before I say znuch that I hare to say upon the matters which induced it . 1 lave not forgotten the promise I made yon in the Kew Bailey ; I have mnoh to say , and shall say it yet ; lrai a I * bide my tame , "

      2 KjnTi grre yon ilie information to which I think yon are entitled . I-shall tell yon-all about the facts , — -feeis -which ansny of yon don't know—connected with the strike , the outbreak , the Manchester Conferdce , and thB flinging of the Chartists , neck and heels , into the League ** trap . " I shall tell you &H about it 5 ani I must hare my own tame . Nothing ph * n drag ii from me prematurely . I "HiS injure no man ; sor allow myself io be so placed as that any man

      can say that I hare injured him . Let this , then , be my answer io all who hare sought from me to know what was meant , in my second letter from the Xew Bailey Prison at Manchester , when I told yon I lad ** much to say " . The people lose nothing ij waiting for it ; their experience and observation 13 sufficient for their future guidance in the choice of leaders . They already know much . ; in due time , they shall know

      more . So much for the satisfaction of enquirers on that subject , whom at present I cannot farther satisfy . Kow for my owe arrangements . Yon are anxious to see me among yon ; and as I promised to come when the decision of the ** lieges " should is knows , I do not wonder at yonx now reminding me . 2 Sj health has for the last two or three weeks prerested the possibility of my making dsfinita arransements : the Stful -weather has been much against me : and 1 conld scarcely calculate from day to day .

      Bowsrer I must sow begin to think of it . The Loughborongh people want me to come to their camp meeting on the 3 th inst : That is too early for me : I cannot manage it . But I shall tryvtobe with them on the following Sunday , the 16 th . Let me not be mirunderstood . I hate evasion in any one ; and therefore do not practise it . If I could hare gone to Lcoghborongb on the Sin , I should nothaye gone- to iie camp meeting ; for several suffitient reasons la—1 dare not speak on * of doors z I haTe not strength tor it ; and 2 nd , There has been much about these ** Camp" meetings in many parts of the

      oonntrj that I hare not liked . They usually draw together an immense mass of people—beyond what can possibly hear any speaker—at all eTents such speakers as I am—they meet there pronascnausly from different places ; the parties don ' t know each other ; they know not with whom they are acting in concert , and they are consequently at the mercy of any rascally police spy or common informer who may go there , spout a mouthful or two of frothy vr . nwn , and make honest men issponable for M 3 Tillany . "Wherever I come , I must knsw with whem I act .

      I hare much more in my keeping than my simple indrricnal safety . Scores of speeches which might be passed at another time unnoticed would be laid b-Dldof instantly , if so uttered in my hearing as to make ms apparently concurrent in and party to them ; because thai might afford tie scoundrels ihe opporanriiy of stopping for a while my scrawling in the Slar . Tina would make it my duty pnblicly and 2 * 2 antly to rfig ^! i * T ii ^ jii condemn any thing that I JBlght hear , of which 1 saw that sdYantage conld bs taken against the people and their cause . And

      fiiongh lias might neutralize the power of the Enemy , it might damage ns by creating ill-feeling . Tor these reasons I never act publicly with dangers- and for these reasons I should sot have attended -the * ' Camp Meeting" on Monnj Sorrel even if I conld hare been in that distnci so early as the 9 th ; which I cannot .

      2 ST £ WCASTI , E . —Giobiods epfeck of Unioh —AmeetiDgof ihedelegsJes from the miningdistricts , was beld in the Black Swan Inn , Clayton-street , . Newcastle , on Saturday last , commencing at ten odockj Mr . Benjamin Wateon having been elected to the chair , briefly opened the proceedings by statmg ihe purport of the meeting , and calling npon each delegate present to prodnoe bis credentials pr ior to entering into any other bufflnese . NotwitiistendiDg the restrictions agreed to at 2 ast meeting , thai no more than one delegate shonld be sent by eacb locality , there could not be less than 120 delegates present , and there was upwards of £ 60 contributed to the general fund . The results of the restrictive plan resorted to by the men , were discussed ; and it was proTen io be highly beneficial to ihe coalmuiers

      generally , and agreed to be continued at 3 sJ per day . The following resolutions were likewise agreed to , viz : — "That a general public meeting of 4 the miners of the Koith of England , be held at Sheddonhifl j IBlackfell , on Satnrday , July JBih , proximo j chair to be taken at twelve o ' clock precisely ;! and that a delegate meeting be held immediately after the pnblic meeting . " - — "That Benjamin Wateoii be « nga £ ed as lecturer . * " That William Hammond be likewise engaged as a lecturer . " *• That William Daniels bo likewise reqnested to officiate as lecturer , &c , for the furtherance © f the society in Scotland " A lengthy detail of tfee manner in whioh the oppressed miners of England , Scotland , [ and Walea , . were tyrannized over by their erael t askmasters , and robbed of the fruits of their industry in iuxiinaerable ways , gave rise to a lengthy discussion on the subject , when it was ultimately agreed

      that the m * jorpan of the crimes committed by the lackeys of the Coal Kings , was allowed to pass with impunity for want of wholesome legal advice ; [ and the i&eapacity ef the . men to hire professional men in individual cases , as the Masters could do , rendered it highly necessary that a gentleman on whom the working men conld place confidence , should be engaged to conduct the causes of the miners , land Tendered independent of the frowns of the slavedrivers so long as he continued trustworthy : and as it would only require a trifle from each miner m Durham and Northumberland , to Tender an honest lawyer independent of the masters , ithras resolved : " That Mr . Roberts , late of Bath , be solicited to act as attorney for the miners of tbe Tyne , Wear , and Tees ; and ihatfa correspondence bo immediately entered into to make the necessary arrangments with that gentleman . "

      Aim-CoBB Lrw Hdmbdg Again . —The Bev . JMr . Peters , of Sanderland , lectured in South Shields , orf Tharsday evening , the 23 rd instJat . After he bad gone through tbe usual arguments tbat the League adduce in defence of their philanthropy ( *) , Mr . Kydd ( feeling indignant that the Rev . Gentleman should suppose his auditory so unacquainted with the present state of things a ? to suppose that bis cuckoo-song would tend to ameliorate the distress so very prevalent amongst the industrious classes of the country , wrote a challenge 10 f the Rev . lecturer , which he handed to Thomas Ball , Esq ., the chairman , stating that he would discuss the subject with the Rev . Nil . Peters , or any other gentleman , and undertake to prove that a mere Repeal of the Corn and Provision Laws would be a curse , and not a bles 3 ing , to the working classes . The Chairman declined reading the challenge to the

      meeting , or handing it to Mr . P . ; but tha ; Mr ^ iP . should not remain ignorant of Mi . Kydd ' a intentions , Mr . K . told Mr . P ., after his lecture , that be-wished to test the arguments which he had addnced , in defenes of bis clap-trap measures . Mr . P . declined , whsrenpon Mr . JL auHouneed that he would give a lecture on the Corn Laws on the following evening , in tiie Scarbro' Spa Inn long room , on which occasion he would review the arguments of the Rev . Mr . P ., and hold them up in their proper light ; and , as be was open for discussion , he would be happy to see as many of tbe Free Traders there as thought that the free Trade nostrums were honest . Mr . K . lectured on Friday evening , as announced ; bat it would appear that none of tbe League bad miffident confidence in the truth of their Free Trade opinions to induce them to have it pnblicly investigated . Truth alone can stand in-Testieation 1

      Asothee CoAL-pn Explosion . —The inhabitants cf Longton , Staffordshire , were , on Monday last , thrown into a most indescribable state of alarm and mental suffering , by the report that an accident from fire-damp had occurred , at one of the neighbouring coal-pits , whichjrepcrt turned out to be bnttootrue . ^ Nine unfortunate men were prematurely hurried into eternity I The full particulars of the accident havo eoi jet been communicated to us ; but iv ~ e learn that hco colliers lost their lives through Tentnnng into the pii to render assistance to their brethren who -bad been exposed to the ravages of the explosive gases . The carbonic acid left after the explosion , of the mixed hydrogen and the oxygen of the common air , deprived the brave and feeling men of life .

      Contrast the conduct of these two poor colliers , who were thus ready to sacnS . ce life iiself at tbe altar of . friendship , wi ; h the unfeeling oondnct of the Masters and their " Butties , " who coin gold out of the leari ' 3 blood of the collier , while they unfeelingly refuse him means sufficient , in return for bis hard toil , to procure the barest comforts of existence ! The Potteries have only just Eeen the end of one strike , most alarming in its nature , and most devastating in its conrse ; caused by the reductions in the wages of those who work entombed in the bowels of the earth , exposed to such casualties as the one which has jast hurried k » e men off the

      ftage of existence . Hoi content vrith the reductions then effected , another is attempted ! The owner of tbe mines who who was tbe first to offer a reduction last time , has given notice of another of fourpefice n-day } 21 If this should be effected , the wages will be , lor constantly exposing themselves to death , and for toiling at the hardest and most uncomfortable species of labour , just eighteen pekcs a-dat i 1 Would there be just cause for wonder , were u Rebecca" to leave Wales , and pay us a visit ? Can tbe owners of property , really think that they are safe , ' while such a system of " grinding the faces of the poor" is permitted to exist 3

      XOCHDAUEJ . —Chebch Rates . —This wee our town is placarded with billB , announcing tha * in -consequence of the certainty of tbe parish re * fusing to grant a compulsory Church-rate , that the wardens of the various townships will canr&ss their respective districts to try bow much they can collect by Tolnntaryoontribntion towards defraying the expenee of sacramental wines , sweeping of the church ( of whieh it is said to stand in great need ) , bell rope 3 , &c . We hear some of the Dissenters are to have sermons preached and collections made , whieh are to be given as Toluntary Church-rates ;

      X 33 BDS . —On Tuesday morning , an inquest was held at the Court House , before John Blackburn , E ? q-, en the body of Elizabeth Mitchell , 16 years of age , who expired in thB Infirmary , on Monday morning . The deceased was admitted to the institution on Sunday evening , and was burnt very much in all parts of her body . She was , it wonld appear , of rather weak intellect , and snbject to fits . She resided with ber parents in the Callfl , but there was nobody -with ber in the bouse at tbe time tbe accident happened , and she gare no account of the matter to any one ; tbe probability seemed to be however , that she bad been Beized with a fit and had fallen into the fire ; her screams and the flames attracted the attention of a a yonng man who was passing , and be succeeded inputting out the fire , and gave an alarm to the neighbours . She wa 3 removed to the Infirmary immediately . Verdict , ** Accidentally burnt . "

      Death © j > a Lic « ati&—On Tuesday last , an inquest was beld at * ae Retreat for tbe Insane , ; at Casileton Lodge , near Leeds , before John Blsoljharfl , E = q , to inquire concerning ilie death of Mr . Jofcn Crowther , late of Sowerby Bridge , near Halifax , a patient in tbe insritution , and who died there on the 14 th instant . The Retreat is a private asylum , under the care of Samuel Smith , -E = q-j i-ttr * geon , and his son , Dr . George Pyemont Smith , both of Leeds , and it is situated in tha township of Armley . The deceased had been a patient about fourteen months . His death was not communicated to the Coroner by the proprietors of the Ketreat , rit being their opinion that there waa no necessity for holding an inquest ; some of his relatives , however , ( amongst whom a little-jealousy seems to exist on the score of tbe deceased a property ) intimated , on SJonday last , to Mr . Blackburn , their desira for an inquiry , and snob circumstances were stated to him of

      at that time as seemed 10 justify the propriety the step . The body had been soldered up in a 1 ^ -a '' coffin , and was enclosed in an oak one also , puptratory for removal ; and these had to be opened in order to enable tee jury to obtain a view A 11 idea seemed to have been entertained that tbe deceased had committed snieide ; bnt the evidence of Dr . Pyemont Smith , Mrs . Miller , the matron of lie institution , and Mr . Burns , the keeper in attendance Bpon the deceased , -went entirely to disprove any suspicion of this nature , and to snow that be had been for some rime labouring under symptoms of an attack of bronchites , dropsy , and other complaints , and that natural causes alone had operated to his death . Under these circumstances , the jury returned a Tcrdici of M Died by the visitation of < Jod / * wiih which the wlaiires who were m attendance expressed themselves lully satisfied . The deceased was sixty yearg of age .

      G-unnajiG . —On Monday , the police brought before the bench at the Contt-House , several young men on charges of gambling on Saturday night and Sunday morning . The result was , thai six of them were fined 6 s . 8 d- eacb ., or in default of payment , ihxee hours in the stocks . The alternauve was preferred in each case , and daring tba afternoon ibey were pnblicly exhibited in the Conrt-House yard .

      The TewN Cotojcil and King Charles ' s Cbopt . —Our Leeds readers are aware that the Croft in Land ' s Lane , the property of Thomas Hebden , E * q ., has been by that gentleman converted into a market ; at first for the sale of fruit , vegetables , ice , but ; subsequently for the sale of pigs . The Town Council are abont to dispute his right to do this , and claim for themselves the exolusive right of all marketago within the Borough . By their directions , the Town Ckrk has commenced an action in the name of the lessee of the Viear ' a Croft market , against the lessee of King Charles ' s Croft . In spite of this , however , the market is still kept open , and on Tuesday last , a large number of fine pigs were penned for sale therein . The Town Council , on that day , issued a placard-caution , which seemed to have no other effect than that of drawing public attention more fully towards the market .

      Theatre . —Mr . Pritchard continues , though not " to command" all the " suecess" we think he merits , to ** do more—deserve it . " During the past week amongst other entertainments the newly dramatized piece of Susan Hopley hau been presented to the Leeds playgoers . We are told that this piece was very popnlar in town . Tiere is , to be sure , no accounting for taste j and there are few things in which we admire cockney taste . We were not therefore at all surprised , 0 ? Beeiag this piece on Thursday evening , to find it as much made of by the actors of Mr . Pritcfcard ' s company as its merits will probably allow . It is , as apiece , a miserable affair . Its whole merits are ! those of the machinery , for ¦ which tbe contracted stage of our Theatre affords

      little Bcope . The nmrder-Tision , and the churchyard scenes , were very effeetive ; and MisB W . Scott made the most of the heroine , as did also all the other performers of their respective parts . In the Farce of " Winning a Husband , " we oannot speak too highly of Mrs . J . Rogers . The versatility of thiB lady ' s comic humour was severely tested by the difficult part of Jenny Transit , in which she sustains eight transformations of character in Tapid and instant succession to each other , and in which she did that most difficult of all thing ? to be done under such circumstances—kept the audieece from supposing that in actual life the subject of her hoaxing must haTe seen the trick that was being played

      upon him . Her charges of voice , manner , ai-d gesticnlation , and her impersonation of the d f&rent parties she represented , was po perfeot 21 s to make the deception quite feasible . Some of her impersonations , especially those of Miss Cornelia Clementina Clappergo and Miss Bridget Blackthorn , were really rich . Mr . J . Rogers , as Sir Roderic Strangeways , sustained his perplexities and difficulties with expel lently appropriate humour . We were glad of one material improvement since our last risitation to the Theatre . Less time was occupied in music and dancing between the pieces , and the audience were let out in decent time for home . This is much better than keeping "open house" till twelve o ' clock .

      Robbtng Lodgings—On Monday a woman named Elizabeth Ann Jackson , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , on a charge of having ; stolen & sil-ser waton , a remnant of silk , three silk handkerchiefs , and other articles , from the house of Mrs . Sarah Hyde , in Brick-street , at which place she had obtained lodgings on the third of May , and from whence she absconded on the sixth of the same month , taking with ber the articles mentioned . Information was given to the polioe , and it was soon

      afterwards ascertained that the woman was in custody at Manchester ; and her term of imprisonment expiring on Friday last , Mr . Ulleart , police-clerk , went there and apprehended her on her discharge . The property of Mrs . Hyde had been pledged with Mr . Sowrey , in Commercial-street . Leeds , and the tickets were found on the prisoner ' s pewon wh ? n she was apprehended in Manchester . The property was produced and identified , and the prisoner , who said nothing to the charge , was committed for trial at the next assizes .

      THOBNUEy Colliebt . —A public meeting of the colliers residing in this neighbourhood , was holden on the 10 th inBt . At eleven o ' clock the men of the various collieries passed through the town of Thornley in procession , with bands of music playing popular airs , and banners fanning the breeze . It was the most numerous gathering of workmen witnessed in that part of the country for a considerable period . Mi . Harrison presided over the meeting ; and the assembly was addressed byi Messrs . Beesley , Richmond , and Ecelton , in speeches characterised by energy ; and power . The utmost enthusiasm prevailed ; and the several speakers were rapturously applauded .

      B&ASFOBD .- ^ EiTCHmavD . —At tbe Court Honse , en Wednesday ; Denby Fearnley charged Jonathan Waller and three others with having assaulted him . The case occurred at Idle , on Saturday night , between ten and eleven o clock . The complainant was walking across Idle Green , in company with his lady-love , when they were pounced upon by the defendant and others , who kicked and beat him , all taking a share in the assault , but he could only identify Weller aa bavins ; struck him , though the others were present . They did not assault the female , who , as soon as the rovr began , passed from amongst them and proceeded forward . The magistrates . inflicted a fine 5 s . and costs £ \ Is . on Waller , and disoharged . the remainder , as bo positive offence was proved against them .

      Bbutaz Assavlt . —On Wednesday , at the Court House , Wm . Hargreaves preferred a charge of assault against Thomas Craven . The assault was committed on Saturdty night , in front of the Victoria pnblic house , Manningham , and was one which had nearly proved fatal to the party attacked . It appeared from the evidence that complainant went into tbe puWio honse and found defendant there ; he stayed awhile , and then defendant began to talk about some matters of dispute which had occurred previously . A row was the consequence , and they were turned into the street ; there the defendant grot a gun-barrel from his bod , and belaboured complainant about the bead with it bo much that he fell to the ground , to all appearance bereft of life . He and hiB son then decamped . The magistrates inflicted a fine of £ 5 , including costs .

      B&adford Faib . —The fair has passed over without so many of those drunken displays , which characterised the Summer ; fair . Tbe oldest inhabitant can not remember having seen so few drunken people , at such a period of festivity . Mnoh credit is due to the various branches ; ' of the teetotal society , who have strenuously exerted themselves since the commencement of the long ! days , to propagate the temperance doctrine , by holding camp meetings on a Sunday , in various parts of the country . Deowwisg . —On Friday last , an inquest was holden on the body of Charles Heaton , a boy

      aged eleven years . On Thursday , the 1 st of June , the boy , in company with his younger brother , was attempting to draw some timber out of the beck , it being then much swollen , when he fell in , and was carried away by the flood . His brother ran to acquaint his parents who £ err to render assistance bnt could find no trace of him . For several days the stream was dragged forrthe body , but without effect . On Thursday evening last , as two men were fishing in the river Aire , at a- distance of six miles from Bradford , they taw an object floating in the water which , they drew to the bank . It proved to be the missing boy . Verdict . " Accidental death . "

      WAKEFIEIiD . —The Robbery at Altofts . — Some purtiea are in custody at Leeds , on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary at the residence of Miss Dodds , at Altofts , near Wakefield . One of the parties is a man named Castelow , the brother of the leader of the East Moor gang , and another is Rhodes , » sweep from Wakefield . In addition to abont £ 37 , a , silver watch , some plate , and a pair of gold spectacles , were taken from Altofts . A teaspoon , with the initials filed out , the broken remains of a gold frame belonging to speotaoles , and a silver watch , have been traced to the possession of the prisoners .

      ItEMABKABLE INCIDENT IK RAILWAY TRAVELLING . —On Monday last , the passenger train , which arrive ? at Wakefield from Manchester r > half-past ten o ' clock in the forenoon , left thui Station for Leeds with one solitary passenger , who happei . ed to be " mine host" of the Fleece Inn , Wakefield . He took his stand " all alone in bis glory , " in the first carriage next the engine , commonly called a waggon . No doubt , on the arrival of the train at Leeds , the gt >« d folks would be somewhat surprised , if not alarmed , aa it might fairly be assumed that the worthy landlord had corns on tbe mofet urgent buane 33 in a special train i

      Svivg beyond the JonisDiCTiON . —Many of the Leeds and other attornies are frequently in the habit of suing parties at Wakefield and the neighbourhood in the small debt courts of Pontefract , Bradford , and Hsddergfield . It ought to be generally known , and w « have been requested to afford the information , ! that all parties residing within the manor of Wakefield aie withont the jurisdiction of those oourts , and may plead the circumstance , without fear of failing , in bar ? of such proceedings . -

      HUDDEBSFIEXiD . —Nabrow Escape from Fibk . —Un Monday lastj about ? one o ' eloek at noon , a few sparks escaped from a flue running from the tearing room through Isome other rooms m the factory of Messrs . Starkly Brothers , and set fire to some combustible materials vrith which they came in contact . The workmen on the premises gave every necessary assistance ; and in about three hours they quenched the { fire . It 13 now some three yeare since a similar accident happened from a similar cause .

Railway Collision in the Summit Tunnel . — A frighitul accident occurred on Wednesday at noon in the centre of the Summit Tunnell ; the mail train running into a luggage train . The mail tram leaves Manchester at ten minutes before eleven 0 clock , a . m ., and travels at a great speed . No unimation had ; been given to the driver on entering the tunnel that a luggage train was only just in advance , aud the steam prevented him from seeing

      the hjfht at the end of th « train . The consequence was that wheai about half way through the tunnel , it overtook , and dashed into the luggage train , smashing two or three carriages , but , providentially , not hurting an individual . Considerable delay occurred in the transit of the trains , the wreck of the broken carriages having to be removed from the line of rails 011 which the accident happened . While this was being done the subsequent trains passed ; through on the south lina . A stringent inquiry Jato the origin ot this disaster ought to be made , and the public mind fully relieved ; from all apprehension ot future accident m su < ih a spot , a collision on the railway is bad enough anywhere ; but really frightful when it occurs in the bowels 0 ? the oarth . Great blame attaches , either to the Company in not having a watchman at ; the mouth of the tunnel or to the watchman , if one is stationed there .

      by their fears ; for notices , some verbal , some m writing , were given that there would be a meeting , and it would be best for them to attend , or else This was understood to b ' e that they wonld be punished by having their places set on fire . Yesterday , notices were posted ou all the church and chapel doors to a similar effect within the several parishes in that district of country . The Mayor and magistrates of the borough , and tbe county magistrates in ) and near the borough , met daily and nightly to devise the best means of meeting the coming danger ]; and last night it was ascertained that cavalry were en route from Cardiff , and an express was sent [ off to accelerate their movements . The express met them about two miles

      on this side of Neatb abou ^ four o ' clock this moming . ( Neath is thirty-three miles off by the nearest road . ) They pushed oni and got here about twelve o ' clock , having come the last fifteen miles in an hour anda half . Two horses' died from sheer fatigue . About an hour before the military , arrived , the demonstration was made . It consisted of about 500 horsemen , and from ] 2 , 000 to 3 , 000 on foot They entered the town » t j Water-street-gate , and went round Pioton ' s Monument , over the quay , and by thehall , where the magistrates wereassembled , but committed no outrage by the way . They then passed on to the workhouse , into which an entrance was forced , and the work of destruction commenced . A few minutes after the procession passed the bridge .

      a troop ef the 4 th Dragoons entered the town . What was doing at the workhouse was communicated to the magistrates , ^ nd one of them , T . C . Morris , Esq ., heading the military , rode off briskly to the workhouse ; and so unexpectedly did they come upon the mob who were within its large enclosure , that about 100 persons were captured by them . But numbers escaped over the wall , many leaving their horses behind . Some persons have been injured in various ways , but none seriously . There cannot be a doubt that if the cavalry had not arrived at the critical [ moment they did , the whole place would have been in a blaze . Of those captured , the wom en were liberated . Some of tbe men , and many highly respectable farmers and freeholders—forced , as Jthey say , to join—were allowed to depart on their own recognizances ; others

      found bail for their appearance , and about fifteen or twenty are committed for re-examination . These outrages , commenced with the toll-gates , it is now avowed are only the beginning , for the next object will be the workhouses . | Then tithes arc to be abolished ; and afterwards the landlords are to be brought to account , and none permitted to receive more rent for his land than ] four farmers shall say is a fair price for it . This is something like the Irish "fixity of tenure . " J Things are now quiet , but how long th&y will remain so is a problem , which a few days , or perhaps a few hours , will solve ! The rioters have not yet returned to their homes . A brother-in-law of a Member of Parliament , it ! is said , is among those in custody , and against whom informations on oath have been taken . j

      It is said that the rioters are acting under the guidance and advice of a disappointed provincial barrister , and an opinion is generally entertained that the disturbances in their present form are in 6 ome measure connected with those which agitate the kingdom elsewhere with a view of harassing the Government . 1 WHO IS " REBECCA i " The Swansea Journal saya that the capture of so many of Rebecca ' s gang will , no doubt , tend to had to the conviction of the leader or leaders , who have so long bid defiance to the law . The want of systematic procedure and precaution in avoiding a surprise by the military would induoa us to think that Rebecca herself was ncjt present at the riot on Monday . The skill , and above all , the celerity with which her followers have hitherto conducted

      their proceedings , is abundant evidence that she is an able taotitian . Such ) a captain would have conducted the expedition of Monday in very different style . There are strange ru ' mours afloat in regard to the identity of this now celebrated leader . It is now beyond doubt , that he isia gentleman of fortune , and moreover a magistrate of ja neighbouring county . His name wo have even heard , but we do not at present wish to make any hazardous supposition on the subject , as it id extremely probable we shall be enabled to make some important disclosures to the public by next week .

      by thousands of freehoider 3 and respectable persons In the parish in which he resided there must be 150 or 200 freeholders , and they with the others generally supported bis measure . Could the Noble Lord boast of any such support to his bill among tho publie out of doors I He was aware thatthebill would be of some benefit to the labouring classes ; he knew that no bill had come before the House for some time that was so likely to alleviate the frightful evils which now prevailed among the woiking population ; but still he could not agree to it , because it would deprive the poor of their rights , and to that he would never a ^ ree . If , however , the principle of his bill should be adopted by tbe Noble Lord , viz ., to give a certain portion of every common enclosed to the poor , then the Noble Lord should have bis support . Sir Chables Bpbbell and Mr . Milc 3 approved of Lord Worsley ' a bill .

      Mr . Roebuck objected to the bill that its tendency was to create a pamer population connected with the land . Depend upon it , an allotment system would raise a pauper agrarian population in this country . It was better tha , -, the working classes should be dependant on wages . He did not wish to see such commons as those adjacent to London appropriated ; their benefit to the health and enjoyment of the population , especially the working classes , was immense . Moreover , he saw in the

      bill the seeds of many a lawifiait . Lee Lord Woxaley , and those who thought with him , repeal the Corn laws , and they would provide surer and more abundant employment for the population , than anything this bill conld do for them . Lord'JdHN Manners also wished to gee the working classes dependant on wages ; but an allotment system would enable them to eke out their subsistence . He wished Lord Woraley ' s bill io be post « pone . d until the report of the committee of inqniry on the subject of allotment was made .

      Mr . C . Bullek paid a compliment to Lord John Manners , for his gcnerou 3 symyatbiee with the poor and working classes . Hut he could pee no reason for the postponement of the bill , a ? it established no new principle , and the operation of which he conceived would be exceedingly benffioial . Mr . Koebuek ' s objection , to the inclosviTe of commons , on tae ground of the health and enjoyment of the population , was met by an express provision of the bill ; and he could not possibly understand why the cultivation of waste lands should not be undertaken for a reason like this . After some observations from Lord SandOW .

      Mr . S . Chawford 9 aid he couW not let this opportunity pass without stating the raasons why he persisted in his opposition to the measure . He considered that every enclosure bill that had passed that session was a robbery of the rights of the poor , and he looked on this bill aa a measare for plundering tho poor in a general form without ' ecming to Parlimenttodoit . There was no provision in the bill that in his opinion adequately secured the poor man ' s rights . He therefore should give it his mc ^ t decided opposition . To talk of playgrounds for ihe poor in their present state was an insult ; if they had playgrounds to go to they could not resort to them at present . The best play-ground the poor man could have , in his opinion , was land to raise an

      independent sapport on . The Hon . and Learned Member for Bath desired that the poor should bo dependant only on wag" 3 and not oa land . He ( Mr . S . Crawford ) desired the reverse ; he wished the labouring poor to derive an independent support from land , connecting tho usa of land to a certain extent with those who were employed in manufacturing labour . He denied that small occupations of land caused the distress of the wretched poor of Ireland . Their distress was owing to their not being able to get those email occupancies in snch a manner as at onco to dcriva iho full benefit of

      them . They were prevented by high rents and other means from getting the full benefit of their holdings . He would not bavo enclosures except on condition that all should be for the poor , remunerating those who had rights of common by the sale of a portion of the enclosed land , or by reserving rents upon it . Thinking , then , that this bill would extend the monopoly which the rich already had against the poor , he felt it his duty to divide the House against the bill ; and if tho Hon . Gentleman throughfc of withdrawing his motion for taking the second reading that day &ix months , he should divide ou the original question .

      Mr .-DiVEiT , looking to the deficiency of employment , and the importance of extending it , fur the sake of the security of the country , would support the bill . Mr . Aglionbt also declared his support of tho bill , on similar grounds . On a division , the second reading of the bill was carried by 64 to 4 . Some , other routine business passed , and the House adjourned at ten minutes past eight .

      Thuesday , Juke 22 . After some preliminary business of little moment , the order of the day for tho House to resolve itself into a committeo on the Sugar Duties wna read ; whereupon Mr . Cobdsn , moved that" it is not expedient to compel payment of a higher price for colonial thnn for other commodities , and that therefore all protootiva duties on . colouial produce ought to be abolished "" Bufctho Speaker informed the Hon . Member that his motion could not bo put . The House , therefore , went into Committee , and Mr . Ewart moved " That the amount of duty levied on the importation of foreign sugar be 24 s . instead of 63 s . perewt " After a long debate , the Committee divided , when there

      were—For Mr . Ewart ' s amendment ... 50 Against it 135 Majority 85 Mr . Hawes then moved that "the duty on foreign sugars be reduced to 349 . " Another long " talk " ensued , when another division took place , tho numbers bsing—Eorthe motion of Mr . Hawes ... ... 122 Against it 203 Majority against the motion ... — -- * 81 The different clauses having been gone through , the House resumed ; the report was brouaht up and ordered to be recsived to-morrow ( this day ) The Honse then adjourned at one o ' clock .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS—Wednesday , June 21 . The Princess Augusta ' s Annuity Bill was read a third time , and passed . i WASTE LAHB 8 BILL . Mr . Fesrand said , as thejselect committee on the allotment of waste lands had not yet made their report , he proposed to postpone the second reading of the Waste Lands Allotment Bill till it should be ready . —Order discharged , and fixed for Wednesday next . I After the second reading of the Scientific Societies ' Bill had been moved and agreed to , and some " talk " had been had on tho Coroners' Bill , Lord Worsley ' s Commons Inolosure Bill was proposed for second reartingJwhiob was met by Colonel Sibthorp with an amendment , that it be read that day six months , i

      Mr . Stuart Wortlet recommended the postponement of the bill , on the ground of its importance and complicity . j Lord Wobsley felt strongly the importance of carrying forward the bill during the present session . There were nearly two million aores of waste land in the country , which could Sbe reclaimed at an expence of £ 12 an acre , by whioh great employment would be afforded to the labouring population . There was a strong disposition to carry out iccloeuref , but parties were deterred by the [ great exponce of sapa rate inclosure acts . He proposed to carry out his measure by the aid of the tithe commissioners ; who , on the application of two-thirds of those ino rested in an inclosure , should send assistant commissioners to

      examine and report . The commissioners to report the progress of all inclosures twice a year to the Home-ofiioe ; and the House of Commons to have a veto on any inolosure , should one-fourth of those interested object to it . He had endeavoured to ascertain tha probable expenee of tbe working of his measure ; and was satisfied I that unopposed inclosures , tbe expenee of which j under the preseut system , amounts to from « £ 400 to £ 600 , would not by the present bill exceed £ 40 . Considering the capital whioh would be invested in reclaiming land , and the employment whioh would be afforded , he was satisfied that the bill , if passed , would prove an important boon to the interests of agriculture and the country , )

      Mr . Ferkand was sorry he ( could not agree in the measure as it stood . Ho found in it not one single piovision that recognised distinctly the rights of tho poor cottager . If it became law , the poor man never would have a chance ofj becoming master of a piece of waste land ; and he thought the bill at any rate could not by any possibility be carried out in the manufacturing districts . But though he could not agree to the Bill as it stood , to some plan of some such nature they must come , if they would avoid revolution . ( Hear , hear . ) Machinery was increasing to such an extent that not only would the masses now out of employment remain bo , bnt those masses would be greatly increased before long . The new wool-combing machinery would alone throw

      100 , 000 persons out of employ mjent . What must be the result of such a state of things ? It was in evidence before the Select Committee ou the Allotment System , and the evidence was that of a member of the House , that in one district , near where he ( VIr . Ferrand ) restt ' eJ , the poors'jrate was 9 s . 6 d . in the pound ; in other places they were paying a 7 s . rate . The farmers could not long support thatstateof things . He was convinced that by next rent-day one farmer in every five would be paying ^ , in tho pound . It was known that in 1836 and 1837 a vast number of poor labourers had been removed from tho agricultural to the laanufaoturiHg districts . He had moved fora return respecting Mie numbers of these poor persona so removed . What iwas tho result ?

      Although Mr . Muiraridgo admitted that as irany ae 10 . 000 wore removed , the return only accounted for 4 . 928 . Was tbe House aware of the state of the wool-combiu" trade at present ] In Yoikshiro and Lancashire thousands of wool-combers got only two days' work in a woek . There were many instances Where poor men with families ; had gone with tears injtheir eye 3 to the in * s < errand asked for two or three stone of wool to comb , in order to ko-p them from starvation : and the answer was , " We are in no want of workmen , but we , can give you some work at ltfd . a ston-V Tf the Hou . so could not pass some such measure as thisjwhac were they there for J Th * y were soju to separate ; and , he asked , had the House durin « the session passed one single

      measure , or doce anything to alleviate the existing digress J There might be a slight stimulus in trade just at prosent ; but the was thoroughly convinced that , before long , trajde would fall back to what it was av ChristroaB . The Right Hon . Baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) , wheu be ( Mri Ferrand ) had asked for leave to bring in a bill for the enclosure of cultivable waste land , had said th ^ t all tbe waste-land that was wor h cultivation had been enclosed ; would he say so still ? He ( Mr . Ferrlaud ) was told by a gentleman well acquainted with the district in Lancashire i f which he spoke , that there were 200 , 000

      a cres © f waste land cultivatable | th 6 re . The House , in his 0 pillion , wasanswerable to provide the means of eubnsteuce for the people ; andjif they were not able to provide those means he had no hesitation in saying their functions were at an j end . He ( Mr . Ferrand ) warned to kuow what good the wasto land did at present . It was true , that some gentlemen might find on it the means of a day ' s jgroase-shooting ; but ho would put it to- tho geuiiemen of England , whether they were uot prepared to sacrifice their grouse-shooting for the benefitf of the poor . Oppus'd as he was to this bill , bis iniRimon was , ae soon as the Allo'tneni ; xaiaiitteo ha <^ come to
