      A > " U > TEELIKG OVEBSEER . —PRICE OP A COFFIN . —At the Oldham Petty Sessions , on Thursday , June 30 th , an extremely poor woman , named Betty Fielding , a resident in Back King-street , Oldham , stated that she had applied to the overseer of Crompton with a request that he would provide a coffin for the burial of her child . She had prevailed npon him , with much difficulty , to pay the amount of the funeral dues , viz ., 3 s . € < l . The magistrates remarked , that as the woman waa in very poor circumstances , they thought the humane overseer ought to supply a coffin for the child . On hearing this , the guardian of the poor offered her a shilling , to enable her to purchase the article wanted . The magistrates expressed doubts as to whether almost any kind of a coffin was procurable for a shilling . The generons official then said he could get a well-made coffin for one Bhilling and sixpence . The magistrates anxions to test the accuracy of this statement ,

      iLquired of Mr . Halliwell , overseer of Oldham , what would be the price of such a coffin as was wanted , under the present circumstances . He replied that the cost would be six shillings and twopence . The magistrates reproved the overseer of Crompton for his unfeeling and unmanly conduct , after which he promised that a suitable coffin Bhould be provided for the poor woman ' s child . The unfortunate woman applied on the following morning to the overseer for the coffin , but in vain ; he refused to attend to her request , contrary to his promise at the sessions . She applied a second time , but without effect , and the child waB interred at Oldham Church in a common box , which had been purchasad of a grocer for fourpence . The ill-used female is in a most miserable stats . The unfeeling overseer of the poor allnded to is an occasional local preacher among the Primitive MethodiBts , and resides in Crompton . He certainly is a suitable candidate for an office under the New Poor Law . —Manchester

      and Salford Advertiser . At Makchesteb , in many of the tradesmen ' s windows placards are placed , announcing " No assessed taxes , nor Income-tax paid here . " Crowds of operatives and their families from Stockport and other towns , flock a distance of Beven miles to obtain relief , in the shape of soup and food , at Manchester . The late Scandal Cask at Manchesteb—We hav « given some particulars of this case in another page . The following has since transpired : —In consequence of the severe personal chastisement inflicted upon Mr . Jonathan A— , the delinquent in the recent affair , the life of that gentleman has been despaired of , though he is now pronounced out of danger . The parties acting with the aggrieved husband were Mr .

      M— , Mr . W— , and Mr . H— , all persons of high respectability in the town . It is stated that amongst other lDjuries , Mr . A— received three wounds in the neck witn some sharp iron instrument , and that his friends threaten criminal proceedings against the parties , as they allege the hnshand was not present when the assault took place . It appears that the servant , who -was in the plot , had made a pretence to retire to bed / and having satisfied herself of the criminality of Mrs . M— , » ho retired into the lodger ' s bed-room , and looked Hie door , went down stain , and admitted the fcosbsBd ' s friends . It is certain that he was dreadfully maltreated , and that the exposure to the night air , in a state of nudity , has had a serious effect upon his constitution . Although the tStst hw been' carefully

      hushed up in the local papers , it is a matter of general notoriety , and , what readers it more distressing to the feelings of all parties is , tbat they were of high religious standing in the chief Dissenting denomination of the town . A dissolution of partnership ef the firm to which Mr . A . belonged was announced on Monday , the day after the distressing transaction . The Manchester Chronicle of Saturday , contains the following correction of the paragraph relating to this case ¦ which appeared in tae Times of Friday last : — "It Wft 8 not onr intention t » h » Te given publicity to this painful affiir in the columns of the Chroniole . Tbe feelings of the friends of both parties must have been sufficiently harrowed up by the circumstance , without the public attention being farther drawn to it ; but , as inaccurate

      reports have found their way into the London papers , -we deem it proper brufly to state the facts of the case . Oa Sunday night , as stated in the-paragraph we have qnoted from the Times , the husband of the misguided larfy left home under the pretence of going to London , but , by previous arrangement , returned the same evening ; and , as far as we have been able to learn , what transpired waa nearly as follows : —On the night in question , the servant girl appealed to have gone to bed as usual , but being concerned in the plot , did not undress herself . Shortly after she retired her mistress went to bar room to ask her some questions aa to the state in-whiehEhfi hid left the fires . The servant having satJsflftd bet on Uds point , she departed , and went into her- own room . la abonfc % quarter of so boor

      afterward * the ernnt , feeing oa tbe alert , beard hermlstren open her to « n door and walk into the bed room of her lodger , locking that door after her . The servant then slipped out of the house , gave the necessary information , and in a few minutes four strange men ( the husband not being one of the party , but remaining at a neighbour ' s , -waiting tie issue o ! the affair ) entered the house , broke open the bed room door , dragged both parties out ef the room , and most cruelly beat Mr . A ., inflicting three -wounds in his neck , apparently with a sharp instrument , and otherwise abased him so severely that his life -was despaired of . A report was prevalent in town last night that he had died during the afternoon but there is no trmth in this rumonz . We can state on the best authority that be is still alive , and hopes are entertained of his recovery . "

      Extraordinary Trotijko Match . —On Tuesday afternoon a number of the sporting world as-Bembled at the extensive enclosure attached to the Rosemary Branch Tavern , for the purpose of witnessing an extraordinary match—a grey ponyi twelve hands and a half high , the property of Mr . Burke , a gentleman well known on the turf , being backed for £ 50 to trot fourteen miles within an hour , with a monkey for its rider . The novelty of the affair attracted , in addition to the betting men and cognoscenti in horseflesh , an immense assemblage of spectators , including several ladies resident in the neighbourhood in their equipages . The monkey of course was the " lion" of the day , and according to the conditions of the match , he was to be

      booted , spurred , and otherwise attired after the fashion of the jockieB at Epsom or Newmarket , and was to ride the pony in the usual style , with saddle and bridle . The monkey Originally Selected fof the undertaking is the property of a foreigner ; but in consequence of his making an attack on the owner , and wounding him with his teeth severely on the arm , it was deemed prudent by Mr . Burke to obtain a substitute , and with that view Mr . Batty , the celebrated equestrian manager , was applied to for the loan of one of his trained monkeys , and that gentleman selected " Signor Jocko , " who had already earned considerable reputation by his performances in the cirole at the Surrey and other metropolitan and provincial theatres .

      At the appointed time the " Signor" made his appearance , attended by one of the rough-riders belonging to Mr . Batty ' s establishment . He was dressed a la Cbifuey , or Scott , his jacket and buckskins being built by a first-rate west-end Schneider , and his top-boots tvould have done honour even to the renowned Hoby . The colours he sported were red and white , and in his right paw he carried a handsome riding whip , and also wore a pair of small spurs buckled round his boots . The pony he was mounted on is a very fast trotter , but notwithstanding his performances , time was in

      this instance backed at odds . After the arrangement of the uEual preliminaries the Btart took place , Mr . Burke , and a- gentleman , the friend of the party who had taken the bet , cantering on each side of the pony , with oae or two others galloping in the rear . He performed the distance in fifty-six minutes and fifty-three seconds of tne given time , consequently having three minutes and seven seconds to spare , and was not at all distressed . The Signor rode in firstrate style , came in with his whip in his month , and appeared quite conscious of his own merits as an equestrian . It is said that this feat is unparalleled in the annals of the turf .

      Sir , —The locality expect , now they have published a concise account of the charge against Mr . Stallwood , that you will , in accordance with your promise , give insertion to the above . Every term of insult has been made use of towards the locality by Mr .

      That at a ball , concert , and raffle , got up on January 3 rd , 1812 , by the above locality , for the benefit of the Political Victims , Mr .

Stallwood , which he bad nev ^ r paid , but which was paid by another hi ember ; the sum of lCs . lOd . being charged for music , whereas the stun paid \ raa only 12 s . for which amount thB locality hold the leceipt . and the number of per-Bom accounted for in the balance sheet being far

      below the number that actually paid . Mr . Stallwood having refused to attend the locality after being several times summoned , and a publio meeting of the members having been called ( in accordance with the instructions of the Convention ) to investigate his conduct , -which he neglected to attend , the locality bronght the sntgsct under the notice of the London Delegate Council , who , after a patient investigation of the affair , and every privilege of defence having been granted to Mr . Stallwood , came to an unanimous resolution that Mr . E . Stallwood was guilty of robbing the fond for the Benefit of the Political Victims , and ordered their Secretary to transmit the resolution to the Northern Star for insertion .

      The Cutting Case in Yobk-street . —A paragraph in out third page notices the cutting of a woman ' s throat in York-street , on Sunday morning . Thomas Carroll , the man who cjmmitted the deed was on Wednesday sent to take his trial at the asfiiaes for the offence . Gig Accident . —About ten o ' clock yesterday morning , as Doctor Hobsou and his servant were coming smartly , but by no means dangerously fast , down B-jrmandtofts , in the Doctor's gig , they had a misfortune , which might have been very serious . The near wheel , from some cause or other , came off as the gig was going . The Doctor tumbled out , and the man , with considerable agility , making a clear vault to the other side , leaped out , but fell on his

      descent , while the affrighted horse went off at a rapid speed down the street . The man spirun ^ initantly upon his feet , and followed the horse , while the Doctor lay for a few seconds seemingly somewhat stunned with the fall . A flock of sheep were just passing down the bottom of York Road , and the horse dashed through the midst of them , dragging after him the now unwieldy vehicle . He then turned up York Road , and raised a terrible commotion among ihe women and children , of . whom there were , as usual , a large number idling about . He was finally stopped opposite the Riding School , and appeared to have sustained no other injury than a cut in the off far leg . We are happy to observe that the Doctor and his man are both uninjured , and that a child who was said to have been run over was

      not hurt . The Duke of Oblbans , eldest son to the King of the French , died on Wednesday evening , at five o ' clock . He was thrown from his cab at twelve , when he pitched upon his head . He was thirty-two yearsbfage .

      ROTHEBHAM- GLORIOUS DEMONSTRATION IN Favovr of the People ' s Charteb—Mr . T . B . Smith visited us on Saturday night last , and delivered a lecture jn the Association Boom , to a not numerous , but most attentive audience . He stated at . the conclusion , that if agreeable he would deliver another lecture on Tuesday evening , in the open air . Preparations were instantly made , placards were issued , and a noble spirit manifested which threw the town , and especially the truckling teetotalers , into consternation . The latter stated that they intended to hold a meeting ob the same evening , and that the Chartists had contrived theirs in a spirit of opposition ; this statement was false , as no Chartist knew of the temperance" gatherinar

      until Tuesday , and the placards calling the meeting were issued on Monday . At the appointed hour , Mr . Smith , accompanied by his friends , repaired to the Market-place , and after Mr . Stephen Peacock had , as chairman , opened the business of the evening in a few well-timed remarks , Mr . Smith commenced his address , which lasted nearly -jtw ' o hours , and carried conviction to many an honest heart . Mr . Smith took a review : of the present distress of the coahtry , traced in a clear and lucid manner , our history from the days of Alfred , and explained the six points of the Charter with the most powerful effect . The meeting could not consist of less than 2000 , including almost all the respectables of Rotherhamj who , with , one or two exceptions , listened with the greatest attention . Some of the teetotallers endeavoured to interrupt the meeting by slight groans , and some one in the crowd threw a small stone at the- speaker ; but

      the meeting was most peaceable , and the conduct of the gentlemen was such as might be imitated with advantage in other places . Some few of the tools of faction endeavoured to exercise their vocation in a Bmall way , one wishing for Mr . Smith's imprisonment ; another , exclaiming , '' blast him , I could mill him ; " and a-third , ( a . policeman )^ wispering that the fellow was well paid ; and when asked for proof , replying , " why , because I think he is . " At the olose of the lecture j Mr . Smith made some statements which have thrown confusion into the temperance ranks . He stated that on the occasion of his last visit to Rot her ham , he wasinvited tolecture to the Teetotal Society ; and promised to do £ O On his ntxt Visit . Ho * eceived for answer , that hl 8 offer W 88 friendly accepted ; accordingly he wrote to the Secretary , stating when he should be in Rotherham , and his readiness to fulfil his promise , to which he received the following reply : — "

      ' College Koad , Botherharo , j . my 2 , 1842 . " " . Sir , —tn reply to your note received last night , I have to inform you that your kind offer to give the Rotherham Teetotal Society a lecture waa discussed by the members of the committee , the last time you was at Rotherham , and that the decision of the committee then was , that such offer be respectfully declined , in accordance with the rules of the association , which expressly provide , that no party politics or sectarian opinions be allowed . . , " I readily believe , for one , that your statement of not introducing such matter is perfectly true ; but , as we are circumstanced at Rotherham , it is our only safe plan to steer quite clear of all danger in this reppect : and , as a lover of true temperance , which I have every reason ¦ to believe yon to he , y « u : * ill , I nope , see Our hitherto ttrictly ndbcred-by rule could not safely , on this occasion , be dispensed with . 'Iremain , " Yours most respectfully , "MivT . B . Smith , Leeds . " Thereading of this production was productive of much merriment . Mr . S . showed that either a barefaced lie had been written by —— or that a lie had been told by the deputation Which waited upon him on his last visit to Rotherham , and said he would leave the Committee and their Secretary to settle this between them , lie then pointed out the consequence of so explaining the rule of tbe Temperance Society as to exclude persons holding particular political opinions or religious ones from its platforms . He showed that if this interpretation was correct , it must exclude Whigs and Tories as well as Cbartists , and men of all religions , as every one of them held party and sectarian opinions , and asked the teetotallers present what they thought of a society which proclaimed b y Inference that nobody but a man without principles or opinions of his own was fit to appear as its advocate ! Mr . S . concluded by recommending all to become total abstainers , but not to sign the pledge until a new society be organised This demonstration will bo of immense importance to the cause here , and we look forward to another visit with much pleasing anticipation as to the result . ; -:, - ' ' ¦¦ ' : ¦ : _ ' ' - ¦ - ' ¦ .
