      TO THE SDITOK OF THB XORTHKBH STAB . Dear Sir , —My name beinj appended to the Lovett and CoUias ' s plan of organisation , which appeared in the Star , on the Sth inst , in justice to myself , I think proper to inform my brother Radicals , thus publicly , under what circumstances I committed this error : — The plan was shown me by a friend while I was at labour , con * qaentiy , I had scarcely time to read it , far less to reflect upon it ; and being told that it was requested to be returned to Mr . Lovett , per post , and considering the names attached to it , I never for one moment considered that it was an error . But , Sir .

      " To err is human , to forgive divine , " sad I must say it was more an error ef ignorance than of motive . Seeing tbe ^ plan is landed by the Morning Chnmidt , by Ban , andothsrsof his kidney , I suspect all is not right . Mr . Lovett was written to to remove my name . It might be too late , however . The publication of this will answer the purpose . Sir , —By canting this to appear in the Star , of Saturday , yon will oblige Tour brother , in the good . cause of the people , KOBESX MfGATB . Oa » psie , 26 th April , 1811 .

      TO MB . TV . LOTETT . Sia , —I should consider myself guilty of something worse than hypocrisy were I to dissemble at a time like this—were I , instead of giving expression to the honest convictions of my mind , to suppress their utterance , lest by being teo candid I might possibly be too truthful . And this leads me to remark that , considering the manner in which you have been assailed , some alleging that you are a iool in the bands qt Mr . O"Connell—a drcumstanoe in itself more than sufficient to blast the reputation of any man not a Whig—and others , again — -as though it were not sufficient to be thought the fo-belvtea of the vile miscreant just named—assigning as a reason for your present apostacy ( I use their terms )

      a cempaet entered into between Messrs . Hume and Place on the one part , and yourself and others on the other part I say , considering these and a thousand other things I could mention , never forgetting the ardour with which the people hastened to assist you , sad your coadjutor , Collins , when danger threatened Jon , your conduct in suffering three weeks to elapse without , at least , attempting a refutation of a part or all of these Btveral allegations , does to me , to say the least of it , smack so strongly of Downing-street an * Dan , that the people will do well to take heed how and ¦ where they drive their hogs too . The people the slaves of " Brown-bread Joe" and Mr . Marcus Place ! Hell "would be too good a place for the man desiring to see

      Requesting that yon will be pleased to erase my name from the list of signatures appended to the address , I am , Sir , Tour obedient humble servant , Charles Jones . Northampton , April 28 , 1 S 41 . P . S . I had well nigh forgot to mention , that had I imagined it waa intended to put forth the "Address " without first of all submitting it to the Convention about to meet in London , or some similarly constituted body , for approval , it never would have received my sanction . ~ a J .

      Six , —I beg that yon will erase my name from the Lovett and O'Connell list , published in the Star , as signatures to their address- When I . signed it , I thought it w » uld have been an help-meet for our Jfational Charter Association , to assist us in dispelling the ignorance which so unhappily abounds in this part of the country with regard to political knswledge . Was it not for the Star , it would be darkness visible ; but , thanks to that great luminary , we begin to see the day star springing up , and 1 was in ; hopes that this Lovett conoern would have proved an excellent aid to the cause that I have so much at heart ; but , if it is a

      move to get rid of O'Connor , then 1- say perish its coneoctors , and may the caged lion live to see all his enemies , and the people ' s , defeated and confounded . To get rid of O'Connor would be like throwing the pilot overboard just as the ship came in sight of the breakers . I am for Universal Suffrage and no surrender . Let us have no O'Connellites in the boat ; orer with them ; and get my name out of the list . I am , Your obedient Serrant , Jam is Cook . Morgan ' s-lane , Frome , April 27 , 184 L

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE K 0 RTHB 45 STAX . Sir , —I particularly wish you to publish that I disclaim all connection with the New Movement Party . 1 read the document and signed my name to it without the leatt suspicion , until . I saw it bo much approved of by all the Whig hacks , and by Dan jA'Conaell , even before it was published ; then I fibeean to look round . The names of Hetherington ana Cleave induced me to pat my name to it , more than anything else ; but now I am full j persuadtd that it is so go .

      THE DISHONESTY OF THE LEEDS TIMES . Hmddersfield , April S 8 , 1841 . Dear Sib ., —Will yon be so kind as allow me * portion of your valuable paper of Saturday next . By so doing yom will greatly oblige , Yours truly , Edwd . CLAYTON .

      TO THE EDITOR OP THE LB £ DS TIMES . Sib , —If I read aright , the beading , or motto which appears on your paper , is one of the noblest and most just that can be quoted . " Give me , " says the immortal Milton , " the liberty to know , to utter , and to argue freely according to conscience ! above all * ther liberties . " Yet , " it is strange , most passing strange , " that the Leeds Tine * uses the above motto , merely for its own purposes , and not as the noble Poet intended , to alL They place it there at the head of their columns , yet , wbtn an individual is assailed , by calumny and misrepresentation , time after time , they refuse to allow that individual to vindicate himself ; and simply because he differs in opinion with them upon a most vital and important subject . If this be the manner In which the Times wishes to obtain the cordial co-operation of the working classes , it is most certainty a very strange one .

      I some time since addressed a letter U the Editor of the Times , in reply to some misrepresenta tions dec , which were made regarding myself and the meeting at Batley , at whieh it was stated they took place . Now mark the lin « of policy pursued by the Editor ; my letter was refused insertion . This was on the lith , and in a fortnight after , on the 24 th , a reply appears in the columns of the Times in reply to my letter which bad never been published , purporting to be from a " Constant Reader" at Batley . Now , either , the Editor himself is the " Constant Reader , " or he has most unjustly sent my letter " privately" to Batley , for the " Constant Reader , " to disprove , if possible , the facts there stated . Such conduct , 1 think very unfair , unjust , and highly culpable , on the part of the Editor of the Times ; fur , as my letter was never published , bow comes the - Constant Reader" at Batley to know the contents

      of that letter , if not as above stated , he got it " privately " from the Editor , who , instead of publishing it , and giving the public an opportuity of judging fairly on both sides of the question , thus unfairly makes use of it 1 Again , the " Constant Reader" speaks of my having blown a mighty trumpet . I know of no trumpet that I have blown either before or since ; " perhaps be may ;" and if he cannot forget the " impressive speech , " as he is pleased to call it , so much the better , there is yet hope that he will look on both sides of the picture . I know not . lbut of this I am aware , that if he beheld himself in the position in which some were shewn to be , namelythat the " landlords were not the only tyrants " with whom the labouring classes have to contend , then I pity him and would advise him to get from out amongst them , as soon as possible ; if on the contrary he cannot forget or forgive , then he gives the lie direct to what he " professes himself to be . "

      Again , he says , though I deny that the Chartists were imported from Hudders&eld and Bradford . Though I belonged to the former place , I do not deny that the Chartists flocked from Birstal , Livereedge , Heekmandwike , Earlsbeaton , Bewsbury , Dawgreen , * c , &c . I would ask the " Constant Rsader" to peruse again the " priTate letter , " and find if I deny that I did not belong to the former place , and if I did not stato in the meeting at Batley that I hod come from Huriderefleld ; but I did contradict the statements that large numbers were imported from the above mentioned places . With regard to the numerous places be has been pleased to name the second time , I do most sincerely believe that

      there was not one from Birstal , Liversedge , or Hecktnondwike . Indeed , when 1 arrived at Dtwsbury , a very short time previous to going to Batley , the Chartists of that place were not even aware that I was going to oppose the lecturer , and there was no time for " mastering the Chartists" as he is pleased to term it . A few friends accompanied me to Batley , for I was a stranger ; thus much for the accuracy of the " Constant Reader" who endeavours , thus unfairly , after having been honourably beaten in their own strong hold , to attribute the defeat to unfair means . I leave this to the working men of Batlty , whether he or I am right .

      Again , says he , to shew the fallacies of the " orator " in this " impressive speech , " he stated that Messrs . Baring and Co ., of Lancashire , augmented their regular profits in the space of fifteen months , by the introduction ef machinery and the lowering of wages , to the amount of £ 500 , 000 . Will the " Constant Reader " give the quotation , as I gave it there , and then endeavour to disprove the statement ? ~ Again , " that I stated that there were two acres of land for every individual in the united queendom , and they ought to have it , and all manufacture for themselves . "

      Now , I wish the " Constant Reader" would only be honest , and give things as h ™ hears them , and throw aside his prejudice and judge fairly , and give the argument as given . However the following proofs will shew my views , and I leave Ihtm for him to disprove if he can There is . in the United Queendom , 77 , 000 , 000 of statue acres , of which about 47 , 000 , 008 are in a slate of semi-cultivation . Two or three millions of these consist ot psrks , pleasure-grounds , Ac , for the gratification of the rich , and not for their support . There are many millions lying comparatiTely waste , beirjg set apart fur the horses of the idlers of society ; and the remaining , about 30 , 000 , 600 are comparatively lying waste , although upwards of 15 , 0 »» , » 00 at the least ,

      are susceptible of cultivation of the highest order . This immense portion of land , which is now completely nseless , could , with proper management , be made to bring forth its fifty and iU sixty fold , and turned to a profitable account ; and out of the whole 47 , 000 , 000 of acres , aot more than five or six at the utmost are appropriated to the growth of wheat . Then 1 a&k the " Constant Reader , " is it not manifest , that if a larger portion of these * 7 , 00 » , 000 acres were appropriated to tillage , Ac—that if the vast amount of wastes were cultivated , and if the wheat lands were made to encroach on the parks , pleasure-grounds , &cif the soil of the United Queerdom would not by far more than suffice to maintain its population in abundance under its imperfect state of cultivation !

      I think the above will prove that all which I stated was true , namely , tbat there were two acres of land and more for ev « ry head of a family , and not as he stated for every individual . Then , again , he would fain endeavour to shew that I -wanted the land taking from its owners , & « ., while I distinctly stated , that if every labouring man who had a family , was allowed such a portion of land at a fair rental , to enable him to tnjoy the comforts of life —that it tronld tend to confer a lasting blessing upon society in general , instead of being locked up in those

      accursed rattle-boxes , from six in the morning , until eight at night , and in using this argument , it went to proTe ihe difference between a hand-loom weaver of thirty years ago , and one of the present day—ot the small but happy manufacturers of farmer times , to the accursed factory system of the present lime , which has nearly consumed and swallowed up all those independent labourers , and caused ruin and desolation in their once happy homes , and driven them to these soul-debasing places , and sacrificed them , at the shrine of Mammon .

      Such were the arguments above , made to shew the difference of the independent labourer of other days , to the slave of the present times ; and if he , the '' Constant Reader , " be one of those , who for the sake of lucre , ( and it appears as if he was by his frequent writings , ) does sacrifice the life ' s blood and sinews of his fellowmen , well may he keep stirring up the old fire . The wound will not heal ; hence be cannot forget . I envy not the feelings of snch a man . I deal not in byenames , or perhaps I could band some not of the most pleasing to the " Constant Reader . " In the mean time , I beg to subscribe myself , Truly yours , In the cause of truth , Edward Clattoh , " The impressive speech maker , and the disappointed fugleman . "

      P . S . Perhaps he bas not forgot the remark of their own lecturer , Mr . Stewart , upon the factory system , namely , that he , Mr . Stewart , would not stand in the place of the factory lords at the day of judgment , for all the wealth of Mexico and Peru .

Three loud and hearty cheers were given for Feargus O'Connor and the Northern Star , and the meeting separated .

Taylor ' s large room , Dartmouth-street ^ on Tuesday evening last , Mr . Harper in the chair . Mr .

      a great number of other places , both in England and Scotland . We are sorry to be unabHPto give these resolutions at length , but our paper can only be filled . It comes but once a week , aud such is the accumulating pressure of intelligence concerning the movement , that at least three papers weekly would be necessary to give all . We have no doubt that divers of our friends sometimes think themselves treated cavalierly ; wo only wish they had the opportunity of seeing our table , loaded as it now is with scores of letters , all more or less important , and many of which we are desirous to insert , but concerning which we are utterly belpless- ^ the printer having already notified that the paper is more than full , while we have probably more than forty letters unopened .

The chairman proceeded to read all the letters , which had been received by the Executive , of persons who had been nominated , and who were determined to fltand the election ; and for the satisfaction of the Birmingham people , he wished to inform them that their letter had just arrived in time . He likewise read a separate list of those put in nomination ; after which he proceeded with the assistance of Mr . James Cartledge . another member of the Executive , to cut them off one by one , read them up , and screw them into a small compass , and put them into a hat . This being done , Mr . Joseph Linney moved , and Mr . Swaiuson seconded , " That Mr . Daniel Jackson , a blind man , and a sound Chartist , who was present , should take the names from the hat . and then no one could say

      he had looked at them . This was carried unanimously . Accordingly the hat was given to him , and he took out the following names , which were read up one by one and handed through the meeting : — Firstj Mr . Skevingtoo , of Loughborough ; Second , Mr . Smart , of Leicester ; Third , Dr . M'Douall ; Fourth , Mr . Deegan , of SunderUnd ; Fifth , Mr . Morgan , of Wales ; Sixth , Mr . Arthur , of Carlisle " These added to the four before chosen , will constitute the Convention , which are as follows : —Mr . Pitketbly , Mr . Morgan Williams , Mr . Matthew Cullen , of Glasgow , and Mr . Bramman , of Ipswich . Mr . James Leech said he thought they had been properly balloted for , and hoped there would be no cause of complaint . The following resolution waa jnoved by Mr . Joseph'Linney , and seconded by Mr . Wm . Shearer , and carried with only one dissentient : —

      That the business of electing the Convention has been openly , fairly , aud consequently impartially conducted ; we therefore think that the most strict observer will not have the least grounds for accusation , either against the members of the Executive or the public meeting assembled . " A vote of thanks waa given to the Chairman aud thus peaceably ended the meeting .

Biddulph had expressed his satisfaction at the jury empannslled to try the parties who had attempted , as was alleged , to assassinate him . The Earl of Charleville once more read the letter of Mr . Biddulph , denying that he had dene bo , and Baid that whichever party was right , justice had not been done , and the publio mind never could be satisfled , knowing that three ribandmen were upon the jury . The Marquis of Normanbv felt it only necessary for him to protest against the supposition that there were three ribandmen on the jury adverted to .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS , Tuesday , Apr il 27 . Notice was given by Me . Eastuope that he would move , on the 11 th of May , for leave to bring in a Bill for the Abolition of Church-rates . Mr . Fresiifield tneved for the appointment of a Select Committee , te inquire into the comparative advantages of the southern ports of EDgland , as points from whence to despatch the West ludia mails . TheHon . Gentleman contended that no port offered such extensive advantages as Falmoutb , from whence , however , the packets had been withdrawn In order to be trans ferred to Dartmouth , from motives of private and local interest The public had a right , when an inferior port was selected , to have an inquiry instituted with a view to ascertain which was really the port best suited , or what , might be the reasons for selecting that which was manifestly least suited for the purpose . Sir Charles Lemon seconded the motion .

      Mr . F . H . Berkeley contended that Bristol was the best port for the purpose , particularly if the mails were to be conveyed by steam-vessels . The Chancellor of the Exchequer said that the Government had been solely actuated by the desire of consulting ; the true interests of the public . They had no power to compel the company , who had taken the contract , to make any port their station—they could only decide upon the place at which the mails were to be taken up , and they bad , accordingly , decided upon Dartmouth . Sir H . Vivian was of opinion that Falmouth was the preferable port from whence to sand the mails , inasmuch as it was fifty-six miles nearer to the West Indies than Dartmouth . Mr . O Con nell contended , that the best ports would have been Valentia , Cork , or Bearbaven , in the south of Ireland , from whence a steamer would take only seven or eight days to go to Halifax

      After some further discussion , the motion of Mr . Freshfleid was carried , by a majority of 54 against SO . The Solicitor-General moved the appointment of a Committee to consider the expediency of erecting a building in the neighbourhood of the inns of court , for S sittings of the courts of law and equity , in lieu of present courts adjoining to Westminster Hall , with a view to the more speedy , convenient , and effectual administration of justice . Sir E . Wilmoi seconded the motion , which was agreed to .

      Sir M . Wood having presented a petition from the nebility , gentry , bankers , &c . of the metropolis , praying that the House would adopt some means for opening Waterloo , Southwark , and Vauxhall Bridges , moved for the appointment of a Select Committee to taka into consideration the several plans for the improvement of the metropolis , concerning which reports were made to the House in the years 1836 , 38 , 39 , and 1849 , together with any other plans for the same object which they may deem worthy of consideration , also the petitions for throwing open the bridges free of toll . The motion was then agreed to , and the House adjourned , Wednesday , April 28 . Upon the order of the day for the Irish BUI ,

      Lord John Russell rose to declare the intention of Government . They would not , he said , be justified , after the vote which had sanctioned the second reading , in treating the vote of Monday night as destruaiive of the Bill . He proposed , therefore , to go ojH p th the Committee , and take the sense of the 4 Bbo on the franchise proposed in the second Lord Howick . said , he still adhered to the opinions he had before expressed . Sir R . Peel said , that the Ministers , the persons intrusted with the confidence of ihe Sovereign , had undertaken to settle this great subject , asserting the necessity as well of defining the franchise as of adjusting the registration . Instead of defining the franchise , they proposed a measure for destroying it . Lord Howick had suggested a different principle ,

      ihat of retaining the beneficial interest , which he wished to preserve in addition to , not in exclusion of , other franchise . Lord MorP £ Tu said , that Lord Howick ' s amendment in favour of a £ 5 beneficial interest had not been resisted by Ministers as an addition to their own leasehoVding qualification by rate of £ 8 , but as a ( Substitution for it ; and on this £ 8 qualification they were determined to have the sense of the House . Mr . H . Grattan commented strongly on what he called the political jugglery carried on in the House , and taunted Lord Howick for being satisfied with obtaining a majority against his friends , and then backing out of his proposition in the best way he could .

      The House then went into Committee , and the first clause as amended was agreed to . When the second clause was proposed , Mr . Hume moved an amendment , ' the effect of which would be to render leases unnecessary to qualify parties to vote , and to substitute a simple occupancy . Some technical difficulty arose , and in order to effect his object , he moved that a lease of one year should be sumcient to qualify an elector-After * some discussion , Lord J . Russell said he would not deny that a franchise grounded upon occupation might be benefioial in Ireland , but he was not so far satisfied that such a franchise would not lead to great evils as to justify him in

      adopt-Sir R . p £ EL said if the amendment of the Hon . Member for Kilkenny was pressed io a division , he would vote against it , in order that the division might be fairly taken upon the proposition of the Government . After a few observations from Mr . C . Wood and Mr . SuiKL , Mr . O'Conhell said it waa unnecessary to divide the House on the amendment , for the clause was an affirmative one , and he might at any time after mo re that a lease for one year should be sufficient also to entitle a man to vote . ¦ ¦

      On a division , Mr . Home ' s amendment wm negatived by a majority of £ 13 ^ to 47 . " . t , ¦ Mr . Hume moved that tne blank in the elanse for the rating should be filled up with words "five pounds , " instead of ¦ •* eight pounds , " as proposed by the Government . Lord Morpzth said the sum of £ B was fixed upon in order to conciliate as large a number as possible of the friends of Ireland , and he saw nothing to be ashamed of in adopting such a course . ' Mr . O'Copnkw . supported the proposition of Mr . Hume .

      The committee again divided , and the motion of Mr . Hume was defeated by a majority of 434 to 126 . It was then moved , that the Chairman should report progress and ask leave to sit again , which motion waa negatived on a division . . Mr . O'Connell next moved that the Chairman should quit the chair . " ... .. Lord J . Rossell requested him to withdraw this motion , aa it would throw the Bill wholly to the ground . ¦ ¦ -.,-. Mr . O'Connell asked leave to withdraw this motion accordingly . Lord J . Russell Baid , in answer to a question from Mr . Hume , that if this clause werccarried he should , go on with the Bill ; if rejected , he should abandon the measure . Sir T . Acland and Mr . Jervis pressed the House to allow the withdrawal of the motion , ' so as to bring the clause to a fair division .

      Sir R . Peel expressed the wish of himself and his friends to have a decision taken on the clause unequivocally , and in the usual way . He proposed that Mr . O'Connell should be suffered to withdraw his motion , and that the bill should come on for decision on Thursday , at five o ' clock . To this Lord John Russell agreed . ' , The motion was then withdrawn , and the Chairman reported progress jn the accustomed form .

      Brother Chartists of Great Britain ! . For you and for your holy cause has John Frost been victimized . His Whig-made widow is in the merciless hands of the same vulture-like crew—the remnant of his property is on the very brink of being lost for ever . Sixty pounds would save to the forlorn widow and famil y £ 100 a year —save the family from the ruthless vengeance your persecutors are thirsting to inflict .

      I know well that the name of Frost , coupled with these circumstances , will make you start to a man—that it w'll act upon you like Electricity —that each and all will to their post—that all who cannot give will go to those who can—that before one week passes away there will have been transmitted to Mr . Hobson , at the Northern Star office , enough to save the family of our good friend Frost . Brother Chartists , I am , your devoted Friend , L . Pitkethly . Huddersfield , 28 th April , 1841 .

      LEEDS . —The late Assault on Inspector Child . —On Monday last , John Fothergill , against whom a true bill was found at the last York assizes , in conjunction with Nicholson , Handly , and Addiman , ( on which the three latter were transported fifteen years , ) for a desperate and murderous assault on Inspector Child and Policeman Stubbs , whilst in the execution of their duty , was brought up at the Court House . Evidence of his identity was given , and the magistrates committed him to York Castle for trial at the next assizes . The prisoner absconded at the time , and has since been out of the way ; he was apprehended on Sunday night by one of the nightly watch .

      At a meeting held on Monday evening , at Mr . Joseph Oldroyd ' s , Quarry-hill , several fresh- arrangements were made for extending the efforts of the society , and , among others , resolutions were passed strongly condemnatory of the " New Move " got up by Collins , Lovett , and Co ., and , at the same time , highly approving of the present organisation , and the conduct of our noble friend , , Feargus O'Connor , Esq . The Theatre . —Our spirited manager opens on Monday night next , when a rich treat is provided for the lovers of song . He introduces to the attention of the Leeds publio , for five nights , Miss Delcy and Mr . Templeton , who appear in the operas of M La Somnambula , " " Fra Diavola , " &c . TheBe two

      " birds of soRe" have just finished aa engagement at the Manchester Theatre ; and we cheerfully transcribe from the Manchester Guardian , the following tribute to the efforts of the ' lady i" Miss Delcy is a singer of tho highest promise , and an actress whose style is incomparably above that of most operatic heroines , because perfectly natural and truthful , and wholly free from the stilted dignity aud jerking passions of the ordinary stage . Her AminaiB a beautiful piece of acting ; so '•' true to nature , so admirable in all its bye play , so chaste and unobtrusive in its conception and embodiment ; it is the best Amina we have seen since poor Malibran made the part her own . la her singing , too , Miss Delcy is always correct , wisely shunning that overlaying of the rausio with ornament

      which is the great famt of prima donnas in this country . She has evidently . been well trained , and possesses much qpmmand over her voice . Her style of singing in some of the sweet airs and duets of this opera , was very pleasing ; and she was very successful in imparting to them their respective characters of joy , or amazement , terror , grief , or despair . All these show that she rightly comprehends the end of her art , which is not to execute a difficult chromatic passage without fault , but to touch the feelings and awaken the sympathies of the auditor , by the happy union of sound and sense . In this she will find , indeed she has already entered upon it , the path to deserved fame . " There can be no doubt but that the manager of Leeds Theatre will meet with that full support his efforts so richly deserve .

      Attempt to Stab . —On Monday last , a young man named George Child , was brought before the magistrates at the Court House , charged with having attempted to stab Mr . Waterhouse , landlord of the Fox Inn , at Woodhouse Carr . The magistrates thought the offence of stabbing had not been made out , and fined the prisoner £ 5 , including costs , for aa assault . He went to Wakefield for two months in default of payment . Death from Lock Jaw . —On Saturday last , an inauest was held at the Court House , before John

      Blackburn , Esq ., on the body of a young man named John Whitley , twenty year 3 of age , who camo to his death under the following circumstances : —The ' deceased , on Easter Monday , went Out to shoot at small birda , for which purpose he had armed himself with a * stick gun . ' He was alone , and it would appear from his own statement , that , when he fired , the barrel of the . gun burst , and shattered the fingers aud thumb of his left hand . He went home , and was taken to the Infirmary , where lockjaw terminated his existence on Friday last . The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death . "

      Awful Accident . —On Saturday last , an inquest was held at the White Hart Inn , Beeston , by John Blackburn , Esq ., on view of the body of Robert Standish , aged eighteen years , who was killed by a steam engine , on the previous day . He was employed as engine-man at the mill of Messrs . Brown , at Beeston Hill ; and on Friday morning was cleaning the engine whilst it was at work . He was by himself in the engine-honse , and was found laid on the floor with his brains knocked out , quite dead . It is supposed the cross-beam had struck him . Verdict— "Accidental death . "

      Delay of the London Mail . —Yesterday U ? riday ) morning , the London mail did not arrive in Leeds until a quarter past ekht o ' clock , being nearly two hours beyond its time . We understand that this delay was occasioned by the Railway authoritea at Derby , ( at which place the mail arrived at its proper time , ) who refused to allow it to . proceed on account of the non-arrival of the Worcestershire train . The engine and passengers were delayed an hour , and this is too bad ; but it surely will not be overlooked by the Post-office authorities , who , we think , will tell the railway folks at Derby to send the Londod mail forward at its proper time for the future . If they do not . they ought to do .

      OLDHAM . —On Monday evening , the 26 th inst , the , members of the Greenacrea Moor Choral Society , gave their first publio concert in Providenee Chapel , Regent-street , Oldham , which was well attended ; the solos were well executed by Mrs . Halliwell , Messrs . Holden , Winter , Cotton , and Mellor ; the choruses were performed in a most judicious manner , by about eighty performers , under the direction of Mr . Winterbottom .
