      Craw-Joii : Joxy talk of the still greater folly of WithnoldiDg the supplies from Governments , whose rery existence depends upon majorities to vole those snppliee to themselves . The League may talk of cheap bread : bat I tell you that Stnrgeism , Att-Tfoodism , Crawfbrdism , aid Jbeagmsm , are one and fU but sectioH 3 of Capitalism , Tree Tradeism , and Whiggism i and therefore I , for one , shall hold mj-Belf altogether aloof from the agitation songht to be got np by _ those crotchet-mongers . It is no use for xnen ^ to write to me slwut the practicibility of Crawford ' s scheme , and other schemes , as a means of f 'ring increased rigour and freshness to Cbartiem . look with pity , if cot with suspicion and contanpt , upon old birds who can be caught with such chaff . I tell you tb&t there are not 100 men in all England possessing £ 5 ^ 080 each who woald not rather fight np to their knees in blood than see the Charter the law of the land .

      Ifow , take that from me , and believe it , for thi 3 reason , that their whole traffic 13 in your labour ; and they will preserve that traffic to their own use , behoof , and benefit , as long as they can . At one time they would ' nt join us because we were physical-force Chartists—now they won't join us because we are not intellectual Chartists ; and let me tell you , that they will never join Da until they see that we are so organised that we can beat them morally or physically ; and then they will jt-in us . It is all nonsense , moonshine , and blarney to talk of labour erer gaining any advantage from the advocacy of those who plunder the labourer . "Why just think , all the agitation of those fellows now arises out of the complaint that they eanlt make enough of profit upon labour , while m ? constant

      endeavour has been , and is , to take their knnckles out of the poor man ' s ihroat . Just read the manner H which the Coal King's of Durham cave treated their slaves , and ask yourselves what law compels them to do so . See ihe admissions that landlord ' s spd parsons are obliged to make relative to the condition of the agricultural labourers , to which no argrnEent but those burniDg words of Air .

      you—As well may the lamb with the tiger rcnite , The mouse with tbe cat , or tfee Irii with the kite . The Irish repealere have the same interest in the l ? bour question ihat the EnglL-h Chartists have .

      ~~~ — " ^ 1 .... THE TYBAJfT MILLOCRATS . Thz continuation of the proceedings arising ont of the atrocious Belfield Factory Case , wiD be read with much interest by our numerous readers . A pre&s of matter prevents us giving a . comment this week . The JIabd Case Again . —At tbe Rochdale Session ^ en Motday last , the Rev . Richard Durnford , recjnrt )' 31 iddleton , held a long consultation with the Rochdale magistrates , Messrs . Vim . Chudwiek , Hccrj Kdsall , and the Rev . Mr . Cotton , relative to ibe liberation of Joseph Taylor , weaver , Middleton , whowas committed by theHasbngden magistrat e 3

      fora munth , on the 1 st inst ., for not returning in his work in due time . We understand the whole of the circumstances of this strange affair have been laid iefore the Haalingden bench , reqnestJDg the magi- ? - fratr ? 10 concur in an application to liberate Tay lor , ni orotj thai a fair and impartial bearing may take place ; but that reqnest having been refused , we un-< 3 erstij } d that a memorial to the Secretary of State has bttB prepared , at the request of the Rector of ilidd ! tt <> n and the Rochdale bench , prayim ? for his instant liberation . —JUancheiter Guardian—Wed-Tie&duy .

      The following additional particulars are from our orrespondtnt to whom we are mainly indebted for the astounding exposures contained in our last : — This week the Rev . Richard I > nraford , Rector of Jliddleion , ha ? received a letter from Messrs Benecke and Co ., Belfield . stating that their manager , or the inspector of worsted , has beeen tbe means of Tay lor ' s rapnsonment ; the letter alfo requested inat ihe Rev . Gentleman Tronld see to the wants of the nufonnnafe man ' s family , and when Taylor was Telea ^ ed Jfrom prison they w oul d repay tbe Hector . On Tuesday lart ^ Mr . Durnford visited Taylor in the J « ew Bailey Prison , and stated to him lie above Offer , but Taylor , knowing his family was attended to , replied ihat he should commence legal proceedings against his persecutors as soon as he had served tui time .

      The iewmg of the case is expected to co » e before ihe Rochdale Magistrates as early as possible after the release of Taylor , whose tiae of imprusonnent will be np on the 21 th of this month . The » emorialisin £ the Secretary of State ( as stated in the Guardian of Wednesday ) has been abandoned . It is probable that the inhabitants of Jdiddleton mli call a public jneeting on the snbject as soon as the unfortunate and persecuted man arrives at home . One of the Rochdale rural police , it is said , bad a nand in the plotting of Taylor's case , and that it Was doEe at Belfield . Probably the Inspector of "Warned . Mr . Booth , will tell who the police ofiieer allnded to is , if not , it will perhaps come out before ' ae Rochdale bench .

      YORKSHIRE GAOL DELIVERY . CConHmiedfnm our third Page . J Mr . " WnJKws then addressed the jury for the prisoner in an excellent speech . He stated that great credit was doe to his learned friend Mr . Hall for tbe temperate and jndieioos manner in which , as on all other occasions , he had opened this ca&e to the jury Bnt notwithstanding the kindness of bis learned friend , and notwithstanding his laudable attempt to keep ont of Mb ( Mr . Wilkins ' s ) way every difficulty he could remove , the jury would be of opioniOH that the poor wretch , whose intests bad been placed in hia hands , laboured under extreme disadvantages , and had , as in the langnage of Mr . Hall , to meet one of the most formidable charges that can be brought against any man . Had it not been for the kindness

      of his Lordship , who handed to him the depositions , h © would not have been acquainted with the facts of this case , and U was not until early that morning that , he , received : any intimation from the poor fellowhiinxelf jM a guide for him in conducting this case ; ' iHe'tUr ^ WiupsiO asked for no sympathy at the handiof the jttry . ifi waa there in the discharge of his duty , aad no could only be expected to discharge thai duty according to the means which had been furnished to him by ^ iis client , but he did ask for every indulgence and for every sympathy to this l » or prisoner , whose fitn&tioa had rendered him friendless , pennyless . despised , and rejected by ah wLw . hadJbfiSrd of this case . He stood there to meet themfet dreadful charge that can be brought of

      agiinst ' tey ^ ttJin—that having destroyed his own father , ftadttirelf-when Ibey heard that charge , respect for their common humanity would prompt them to look about for some extenuating circumstances in the cose . He should be able to show , at any rate , that the prisoner was much entitled to their pity , and that although his father mi ^ ht have unfortunately fallen from his hand , the crime itself did not appear without some extenuating circumstances , and Borne circumstances which woul 9 steal their way to the hearts of the jury , and elicit from them a desire that mercy should be extended towards the prisoner . It appeared , from the simple history which the prisoner had laid before him , that at five years of age his mother died , leaving him and two

      other children to the care of his father . And surely if he might believe the story which the prisoner bad told—und there were circumstances in the case which justified him in bo domg )—it would ap ear that he had experienced nothing from tbe hands of his father , but the most unmitigated and the most unceasing cruelty , and had experienced nothing from fiim but that which was calculated to provoke and irritate him , and not that affection which ought to characterise the conduct of a fa » her towards his child . For years the prisoner worked hard , and gained more then was sufficient for bis own wants . His father abused his earniugs , and at times reduced him almost to starvation . When the prisoner was tixteen years of age he earned Its . per week , and on

      oue occagjon not having tasted anythmg but water porridge for several weeks , he received his own wages and determined , if possible , to Ret some meat for himself . When the prisoner got home , tke father took a large wooden rolling pin and beat him within an inch of his life , took from him his money , and then went out , locking the door after Mm . The neighbours having heard a noise went to the house to ascertain what was the matter , but the poor fellow could not answer but with his groans . The father dragged him out of bed , ill as he wa 3 , and compelled him to work far beyond the hour of midnight . On the following morning he escaped from his father and went to WakefieW , where he obtained employment and worked there for nearly three

      years , and then it was , as they would already gather from the questions he had put to the witnesses , that it was thought tbe father had murdered him . The nei ghbours haiing heard the father beating him iu a very cruel way , and he having subsequently disappeared , then it was thai the neighbours , being prompted by hnmanily , caused tbe father to be apprehended , and to be taken before the magistrates . He declared his innocence of tbe crime , and by some means thB boy was found at Wake £ eld . But such were the proofs of the father ' s cruelty that the magistrates bound him over to keep the peace to his own child . Shortly after this time , the prisoner , still wishing if possible to gain tbe affections of his father , b % in » in good work he went to Wakefield ,

      and got his father some work in the shop where he was employed . On five different occasions the father spoiled his pieces , and on every occasion the son wa 3 called upon to make ^ ood the Io 3 caused by his p . rent ' s intemperance aud carelessness . At last the primmer could bear it no longer , and he enlisted into the 20 ib regiment . Even there the father could not allow him to rest , and he wrote letters to his son tempting him to desert , and at the instigation of the father he did desert . From that very moment the father used this circumstance as a cause for terror aiid extortion compelling the son to work and toil for him , and whenever he cemplained the father invariablj held this desertion in terrorem over his head , and told him

      that if he did not give him money he would inform against him . The prisoner got married , his wife produced children , and she could not bear to s 3 her children robbed to support the old man in his idleness ; and hence arose that unusual litigation and strife between the parties , which had been alluded to . On the day in qutstion the fa-her went to the house , and the Jury would remember that the prisoner ' s wife went into a neighbour ' s house , the father having threatened to take her life . The neighbour went into the house 4 and there he found the old man in a perfect state of fury , cursiDg and swearing , and using the most vituperative language . In tbe midst of that in came the husband , and what was the statement the wife made to him 1 Why , she tells him that the father had beep threatening to take her life . The f tory the prisoner had told him ( Mr . Wilkins ) was this . He said that

      the wife had so repeatedly complained of the old man ' s idleness , and his having to support him in that idleness , and had bo often resented his extortion , that the father had tempted the prisoner more than once to take her life . He had even carr ifcd it further , for he himself threatened to take her life , and he told the prisoner that he had got a razor for that purpose . The Learned . Counsel made some remarks upon the evidence which had been adduced on the part of the prosecution , arguing that there was no premeditation on the part of the prkoner . and that the jury would be justified , under all the circumstances of the case , to reduce the crime of murder to that of manslaughter . He disclaimed any intention of justifying the offence , and concluded by saving , that if he succeeded in saving this unhappy man ' s life , he shonld think , at any rate , that he had not lived in

      vain-The Learned Jt » CE then m ' mutely summed up , fuily stating the law as regards the crimes of murder and manslaughter , and showing that the using of mere words were not a sufficient provocation to reduce the crime of murder to manslaughter . The Jury then Tetired , and after a quarter of an hour , returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner said that many a person had been tried there who vtere innocent of such crimes as his . and condemned to death , and the guilty parties been allowed to escape . He could not say that he was not guilty of doing this , but he was not guilty of murder . He once had a mother , three brothers , and a sister , who bad all c ome to their death froza tbe punishmert his father had iniicted upon them . It

      was a hard thing for him to undergo punishment on aecount of his father . He was a poor man , and he had a wife and two children , whom he was now about to leave to the wide world , and bo home to go to . Some other of the family , if they had been living , might have come to the same end . His children were about to be left fatherless , and with no one to instrnct them . He was then standing before an earthly judge , but there was a day coming when we shall all have to come before tbe judgment seat of Christ , who know 3 who is guilty ana who is not , and he should like his Lordship to take this fact into his consideration before be passed sentence , because he thought h © was not guilty of mnider . He had no persons to call to speak on his behalf , as it was out of their power to raise the money to state his case

      befere the jury . His Lordship then assumed the black cap , and proceeded to pass sentence as follows : —Joseph Dobson , yon have been found guilty of the offence of wilful mnrder , committed on your own father , and I am porry to say I cannot see any ground on which the Jury could possibly have come to any other conclusion . Yonr act appearB to have been one of considerable deliberation , as yon had plenty of time to eool , and opportunity was given you after you had once attempted to discharge the Ron , but you repeated the thing , and effected your purpose . If you have entertained resentment towards your father f « r it

      his coudnct to your mother many years ago , rather shows that your act on this occasion was not the result of any sudden impulse arising in the mind : and an old animosity against your father cannot be any ground for believing the offence to be other than wilful murder . I have only one duty to perform , and I cannot suggest any probability of the mercy of the crown being extended to you , therefore , I would strongly recommend yon to make use ot the short time you have to remain in this world in considering what to all men is the most important concern , but to you the only concern . It certainly is a sad thing to leave your wife and children friendless in the woxla ,

      and this is one of those circumstances whieh must be a great enhancement or the mental sufferings which the prospect of fatal punishment must have produced already . It 13 one of the greatest miseries which attend criminal conduct , and one of those things which will assist in making your case a warning to others . I can do no more than pass upon you the sentence which the law prescribes , and cannot encourage you to any hope of mercy in this world . The sentence of the Court therefore is , that you be taken to the place from whence you came , and from thence to the place of execution , and that you be there hanged by the neck until you be dead , and that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison in whieh you have been confined ^ and may God have mercy on your sou ! .

      The prisoner then made another 6 tatement ,, Jn which he contradicted the evidence for the prostCUtion in a few particulars , and then retired from the dock . His conduct during the trial was distinguished by considerable composure , and with the exception of a few sighs , he manifested very little disquietude .

      HOUSEBBEARING . James Morion , 26 , John George Deverdeus , 22 , and Afichael Child , 30 , were charged with having on the 2 Sth of August last , at Leeds , broken into the dwelling-honce of Es ? her Hinds and Charlotte Taylor , and etolen therefrom a silver watch , two silrer table spoons , a pair of silver eugaT tongs , two gold rings , and other article 3 .

The prisoner presented the pistol in his face aud 6 a . d , " Deliver up your money , or you wiJI die in a moment . " Prosecutor turned sharply round to avoid him , and the prisoner then struck him with the ircn oyer tbe hat , which was cut .

      Mr . Winias addrestf d the jury for the prisoner , contending that there was not sufficient proof of the prisoner ' s identity , aud that this must bo looked upon more as a lark than an intention to commit a robbery . —Not Guilty . William Champion ^ 44 , was charged with having , onthe ' oihof October last , at Laughton-en-le-Morthen , stolen a mare , the property of Charles Hibberd .

Information of the robbery was given to the police , but for some time no trace whatever of the robbery could be obtained , and it was not until the latter eiid of August that any clue could be got , when it was found that about the middle of July , the prisoner took a silver pint to the shop of Mr .

The witn- xes for the pros < cution , most of whom had known the prisoner for several years , gave him a very excellent character .

      Mr . Wjlkins , for the defance , submitted that the identity of all the articles produced , except the silver pint , was quite out of the question , and that even with regard to the manner in which that had been spoken to , it was insufficient to warrant them io saying that that cup was the property of the prosroutor . He also comment d upon the fact of the prisoner having , up to the time of this prosecution , boiao an ex < silent charrster and submitted that his conduct throughout the transaction had b ; a that neither of a thief nor a receiver of stolen goods . If the Jury were of opinion that the articles produo i were the property of the proecutor , he thought they would fol that there was nothing to justify them in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had committed this burglary . At all events , there was great doubt , and he was sure they would do what it wr ^ their duty to do— -give the prisoner the benefit of it .
