      HOlMFIBTH . -TsrcKS op the " Plagce" . For some time beck & correspondence has been carried on between the CaarmtB of Holmfirtb and some ¦ of the members belonging to the Ami-Corn-Law Repeal Association of thai place respecting a discussion on the question of the repeal of the Corn Laws . The Chartists , after receiving three letters from their opponents , one of them signed by Mr . George Robinson , Secretary to the Repeal Association , and stating his ^ illintjneBS to meet Mr . David Ross , and with him discuss the question at is ^ ue , ventured to publish a placard fixing the discussion to to take plane in the Towu Hall , Holmfirth , on Friday , the third instant , where Mr . Rosa would attend to maintain , against his opponent ,

      first—That a Repeal of the Corn Laws , so far from improving the condition of the labouring poor , will , only confer power upon that class of the commuuity which has already , by theintroduction of machinery , \ abridged the comforts , and imDoverished the coudition of the labouring millions . Second , That the parties now seeking for such repeal of the corn laws ,, are not actuated by high and patriotic desires and , intentions towards all classes of the community ; but j are rather seeking their own exclusive and especial advantage at the expense of the rest . The discussion being thus before the public , Mr . George Robin- j son , with a friend or two , met the Chartists on Mon- j day the 1 st inst ., at the Shoulder of Mutton Inn , Holmfirth , for the purpose of making

      proper arrangements for proceeding with the same at the appointed time . It should be re- j meinbered that the Chartists had taken the Town i Hall on their own respoasibiiity in consequence of I theLtaguers having previously refused to have any I thing to do wuh the expence . " It appears they had now got it into their heads by some means or other , j that there was not likely to be auy loss aitending the expence of the Hall , and they wished to go at j oce half the expence , and have 300 tickets , and i the Chartists the same number . This appears fair enough if unaccompanied with any unfair condi- = tion ; but in the true spirit of the faction , their fair I offer was rendered odious by the condition with ; which it was accompanied . The Chartisis who had i

      been at all the toil and trouble of bringing the affair ' into its present state of forwardness were to have 300 tickets as well as the Leaguers , and to have the j benefit of all the surplus tickets , if any ; but should the- Chartists have sold all their three hundred j tickets before the Leaguers had sold theirs ; the j Chartists were not to be allowed to sell any more , ; until all the tickets of their opponents bad been db- ; postd - of . With tiiese conditions , Uie Chartists j refused to comply . The consequence was that no ! arrangement was agreed on for proceeding with the j discussion . The next that was known of the in ten- j tion of the Leaguers was by placards being posted ,: stating that no one connected wiih the committee of i the anti-Corn Law Association of Ho'mfirth , had '; i ! I j j ' !

      hid anything to do with the getting up of ihe discussion advertised by the Chartists to take place on the oih insi ., in the Town Hall , end no one belonging to that party would attend to take part in the proceedings . They the ( Leaguers ) could * spend their time better ; thiB placard wa 3 . signed George Robinson , secretary to the Holmfirth Repeal Association . The Gkartists issued a coumer placard stating that they had letters in their possession signed by Mr . G . Robinson himself , which would prove tsflfethe Leaguers had had something to do with thqHfe n ^ up of the discussion ; that Mr . Ross would hero the Town Hall at the time appointed ; that the letters of the Leaguers would be read at the meeting , and every working man was emphatically called upon

      w > be at bis post . The meeting took place accordingly , and by eight o'clock on ihe 5 ih inst . the Hall was well filled with an anxious and expectant audience . Mr . William Cunningham was unanimously elected to the chair . The chairman , on opening the business of the meeting , entered into a somewnat lengthy detail respecting the correspondence that had taken place between the Leaguers 3 &d the Chartists . After which , Mr . Bmn 3 read three letters which had been received from the party representing the Leaguers . Mr . James Birdsell then came forward and made some statements , iha intentien of which appeared to be to vindicate his owa party ( the Leaguers ) from the charge of i : iconsistenfy , which he could not but feel would rest upon them from the effect , thas the remarks of the Chairman , and the letters which had been read were calculated to have upon the minds of the p ^ onle . But what he had to say seemed to have so little effect

      upon the meeting , that he was requested by Mr . Rosf , and afterwards by one of his own party to sit down , Trith which request he at last comp . ied , and by doing so . gave great satisfaction to all parti . ? . The Chairman then introduced Mr . Da rid Ros ? , who wa * received with the most rapturous applause . Mr , Ross commenced his address with a right ^ ood will , like ore who knew his work , and was willing to do it . "_ His-work was to give the death blow to faction , and well he played his part . He smashed the hollow arguments of the Leaguers to fbrpds . He stripped off the veil with which they hide ( heir deformity from the public gaze , and left their naked ugliness exposed to the scorn and indignation of an insulted and impoverished people . He contrasted the life of the agricultural labourer , and the factory slave , and by the most convincing argument proved that God and nature intended the land as the proper field for the labour of man . He taught the people that their interests were distinct from the interests

      of faction ; that their stren ^' -h is in the combination of nnmbers and intellect . No report could do j . i 3 tice to his speech ; near uwm iv # o hours did he convince with his reasons and charm with his eloquence . The only interruptions he received were from the cheers of his delighted hearers . He haa won golden opinions from the democrats of Holmhrth , and lout ; may he live to enjoy them . When he sat down the hall echoed and re-echoed with thunders of applau ? e . The applause having subsided he said it would give him pleasure to answer any question that might be asked him by any gentleman except those wno had denied their own placards . With such gentlemen he would hold no conversation , lest they should deny to-morrow what they had said to-day . —Mr . Abel

      Hinchcliff who bad been taking notes all the time , here stood np and said , as he had nothing to do . either with the letters which had been read or the placards , he hoped the Chairman would give him permission to ask Mr . Koss a few questions . He then began to read from his note book , prefacing every separate not * with , Mr . Ross says . " But Abells a man very slow of speech , and he imposed such a tax upon the patience of the meeting , that no assembly in the world could be found long to pndure without being liable to the charge of rebellion . Sometimes he wonld be a minute or two in making out a line of his notes . Then some one would cry good humouredly , " Now , Abel lad , spell it , g jt , on . " If be happened to give utterance to a sentence , the cry was , " Well done , Abel lad , thou art giving it them now ; go on , lad ; thou does wel ' . " Abel

      blushed not , he S / . nched not , but hammered away at his own pace , which made some one cry out , Thou art the best cast metal orator that ever I saw in my life . " This scene lasted half an hour ; and was to the meeting as a rich dessert to a feast . But as sach things may be « DJoyed until they lose their misb , so it was with Abel ' s performance ;—the impatience of the meeting began to develops itself in symptoms too strong to be maintained ; and at the req' ; e * t of hi 3 friends , Abel sat down . —Mr . George Robinson here came forward , and was allowed to retail a little of the League trash . Mr . Koss nidde a triumphant reply ,. and sat down smidst the most unbounded appi " an ? e . A vote of thanks being given to Mr . P . o . = 3 and one to the chairman , the meeting broke up , highly delighted and edified with the proceeding ; . Correspon dent .

      CABUSLE .-Lecttsf-s o . v ELrcrEicnr , Gal-VAS 1 SS , ElECTBO-MaGSLTISM AND FNiXMATlCS . — In the course of las : week , four lectures cu the above subjects hare been delivered by a Mr . William Ritnardson , of Bradford iu Yorkshire , in the keture room of the Atheraeum . The two Srpt lectures embraced the subjects of Electricity , Galvanism , and Electro-Magnetism ; and the two lutu r ihe Eubject of Pneumatics . The first lecture wag not so numerousiy attended , in coDseqnence , no coubt , of the extraordinary abilities of the lecturer , and hJ 3 perfect , beautiful , and extensive apparatus , being in a great measnre unknown in Carlisle ; but Fuch was the gratification and satisfaction felt by the auaience on the first evening , that the remaining

      lectures were much moTe numerously attended . We have no space for noticing the great variety of ^ objects connected with the useful and interesting sciences , on which the lecturer treated ; but we cannot too much praise his style of lecturing , and his convincing and beautiful experiments m illustration and demonstration of the great and important truths which he uttered . The simplicity of language , and originality of thought which he displayed in his observations , rendered them at once a £ T « eaWe and instructive ; and while he not unircquently approached the sublime and beautiful , his quaint and facetious manner of relating striking anecdotes bearing upon his subject , had a happy

      effect on the minds of his audience . It is not sufficient , we conceive , simply to give utterance to truths , however clear they may be to the philosophers ; bat it is absolutely necessary to demonstrate those truths beyond the possibility of doubt , to the young and unthinking , bo that a taste and desire may be created in tbeir ruinds , for searching after useful knowledge . Mr . Riehardson does this most effectually , for he never faili 1 b a single experiment which he makes in illustration of his subject . This is what renders abstruse studios agreeable to ihe ytung mind , and gives it a relish for the study of those sciences which would otherwise appear dull and anprofitable .

      " How charmics i * divine philosophy ; Jf ot harsh and crabbed aa dull fools suppose , But musical , as is Apollo ' s lute . " The presence of such men as Mr . Richardron is especially called for m this nge of false philosophy and mesmeric delusion , for it i ? highly important to tht well-being of society , that the njinda of the

      Untitled Article

      rising generation sbonld be properly directed , so that they may not only see , and duly appreciate the gre \ t truths of philosophy , but be tlius lod "from Nature up to Nature's God : " leaving far behind those low and grovelling follie ? , which unhappily characterise the present age . rt All nature is but art unknown to thee ; All chance direction which thou canst not see ; All discord , harmony not understood ; All partial evil , universal good ; In spite of pride in erring reason ' s Btite ; One truth ia clear , whatever ia ia right "

      The immortal Pope wrote those beautiful truths , bat it has been left for such men as our friend , Mr . Richardson , to demonstrate them , and to bring them borne to men ' s business and bosoms . In the course of the first lecture , Mr . Richardson threw out a suggestion for the consideration of the owners of coal mines , where life was bo frequently destroyed from the serious effects of fire damp . Nothing more would be required , he said , than a galvanic battery , placed at the top of the pit , and a communication kept up by a piece of apparatus like that exhibited , in which was secured a Diece of platina , which being subjected to the action of the battery , would be heated to whiteness , and wonld at once del ect the presence of fire-damp by exploding it . The means were so simple , that there could be no excuse for not having them put into operation every morning previons to the descent of the minors , whose lives were &o often endangered by the want of this precaution .

At the appointed hour—seven o ' clock—a splendid banquet was prepared ; and , as hiB Lordship has the reputation of extreme punctuality , the company were in waiting at 7 sharp . But

      Lord Cardigan was not there ; and , accordingly , the dinner was delayed in momentary expectation of his coming . However , time wore on . The clock etrack 8 , and the company , surprised at first , became impatient . 9 o ' clock arrived , and 10 was approaching , when , according to our informant , much indignation was excited by the arrival of an orderly dragoon , with a verbal mp-ssage from the noble Earl , apologizing for its inability to dine at Ihe mess , in consequence of the awkwardness of the Ktable regulations .

About eight o ' clock at night they heard the poor fellow praying them speedily to release him , and about one o ' olock on the morning of Sunday , he was heard praying most fervently to his Maker . His friends renewed their hbours with redoubled energy , and , at half-past four in the morning , he was resound from his living sepulchre , after being buried near seventeen hourp . He was immediately conveyed home , without bodily injury , but nearly petrified by cold ; had he been left a little longer , he must have perished .

      Mabriage of the Siamese Twins . —There are few of our readers in this city or in any of tho principal towns in the country who have not seen the famous united brothers , the Siamese twins . They have been ro&iding for Beveral yeara past in North Carolina , where they purchased a plantation . We had not heard of them for a long time , when we received a letter yesterday from a correspondent in North Carolina , informing us that they had entered into a state of double blessedness . Our correspondent says— " On Thursday , April 13 th , were married at Wilkes county . Norm Carolina , by Elder Colby Sparks , of the Baptist church , MeBsre . Chanjr and En # , the Siamese twin brothers , to MiBsos Sarah and Adelaide , daughters of Mr . David Yeates , of Wilk 8 county , North Carolina .

      Another alarming Fire in Formby Street , Liverpool . —Atout one o ' clock on Saturday morning , tho policeman on duty in the neighbourhood discovered a fire on the premises belonging , we believe , to Messrs . Ashton and Ginn , boatbuilders on the south side of Form ' oy-Btreet , and adjoining the west wall of the fire-proof warehouses that were preserved from destruction by tha groat fire in September last . The intelligence was conveyed with all possible speed to the Fire-police station , to Air . Maxwell and other gentlemen whose presence was desirable ; and Mr . Hewitt , Mr . Quick , and other superintendents ' , with an adequate force of the Firepolice , fire-engines , and water-carts , were quickly on the spot . Several other gentlemen were also in

      attendance , and rendered all possible assistance . The greatest activity was displayed by all parties , and the utmost exertions employed ; but from the start tho fire had obtained , and from the nature of ihe premises , being the smithy , carpenters' shops , &c , surrounded by piles of dry planks , the fire had assumed an alarming appearance , and bad nigh completed tho destructiou of the premises whert-iu it originated before the engines could be got effectually into play . The windows and doors were burnt out , tho interior apparently gutkd , and a quantity of wood do-troyed , before a sufficiency of water could be obtained . However , some hoses were passed through through tho dock wall , and planted ia the docii with great alacrity ; and in a few minutes after tha engines got into full play , its

      fury was considerably abated . By two o ' clock there was no longer any fear that it would extend beyond the premises it had at first taken possess : on of , and which v ? ere now nearly demolished . The engines however , wera kept vitfurotisly at work for nearly an hour afterwards , and a little bofoio three o ' clock tho fire was extinRuiphcd . It affords us much pleasure to notice aj ; ain the efficiency and zeal of our Firepolice establishment , under the direction of Mr . Hewitt , the superintendent of tho establishment , assisted by . Mr . Dowlintr . Commissioner of the Police in tho absence of Mr . Whitty , who is at present on business in London . Had there been a supply of water in the mains , they would have put the fire out in a few minutes . Tae premises , we understand , are insured .

      The New Governor-General of Canada . —Sir Charles Mctcalfe , the new Governor-General of Canada , has arrived at Kingston , the Eoat of Government .

Tho corporationofKingston . withthe'Vice-Mayor ( the Mayor having accompanied Sir Charles from England ) , crossed over to Waturtown to meet him , and on his landing an address was presented . His Excellency crossed on the ice from Long Island , and on arriving at the whari in Kingston , entered a beautiful four-horse sleigh that had been provided , and passed through a doublo line of soldiers , escorted by numerous societies , &o ., to the house prepared for his reception . Tho following is from the

      Chronicle . —" Sit C . Metcalfe on his arrival was instantly waited upon by Captain Bagot , and Sir C . Bigot ' s eleigh was placed at the di&posal of iho now Governor-General . Sir C . Metcalle stood at the window of his drawing-room and bowed to tho different companies who came up in procession , and after giving his Excellency three cheers each , turned and retired . At 4 p . m . his Excelkncy went to Alwingtonhouse to visit Sir Charles B&got . On the following day , Thursday , the 30 ; h ultimo , his Excellency met tho Executive Council and the Judges at Alwin «! onhouse , and in presence cf the naval and military authorities and heads of departments , was sworn into office , after having the Royal commissions appointing him Governor-General , &c , opened and read . It was , we have understood , tho anxious wish of Sir Charles Bag © t to be present at this ceremony , ap . d to transfer to his successor tho great seal with

      his own hands . Tho Executive C-jnucil were also sworn in . Much of the display usual upon such of carious was dispensed with out of deference to Sir Charles Bagofc , in his state of health , which would not admit of his presence at the installation of his t-ucce 3 sor . His Excellency was not permitted by his medical attendant to loavo his bed . At a later hour , the whole of the members of tho Executive Council had an interview with Sir Charles Bagot , iu compliance with his special desire , at which Sit Charles took an impressive and affectionate leave of his lace adrisers . The sceue at the moment was calculated to affect all minds , aud we have been assured that all present were deeply moved .

      Alarming Accident . —Ou Tuesday last , tbo town crur Lore announced that a public meeting would ten Ij ^ q p ' aro , and that Mra .

      ( there bting a slight confusion amongst the party in the meeting at the time , and tho chairman repeatedly calling order ) that there was a giant just behind ( meacinK * it is presumed , Mrs . Fryer ) , who would speedily st 6 p forward and qudl all interruptionwhen in a moment , as if by magic , a large portion of the flooring suddenly t ; ave way , precipitating a great part of the audience to tho middle hoor , which contained several hundreds of bushels of oats , aud fortunately prevented the breaking of many necks , a 3 sumbers of persons came down head foremost ou the |* rain ; and their additional weight coming so rapidly on this floor , caused it also to give way , and a great many persons weio literally buried in oat 3 and rubbish on the

      ground floor , having fallen from three stories high . The shreiks of the females , ihe cries of the children , and tho groans of the maimed and woanded , were at this time truly heart-rending . The pressure of the falling beams , and the number of persons , burst out a window about ten feet in length ou the ground foor , which formed an egress for those who were able to get out , and admitted many who came to the rescue of those who were injured . Fortunately , no lives have been lost , and th « " hair-breadth ' scapes " winch many experienced render their preservation truly miraculous . > After the accident the ground floor was literally strewed with hats , caps , bouncts , shoe ? , and a variety of other articles of dress , mostly

      belonging to females . Many persons were obliged to be carried to their homes , aud are now suffering from wounds , bruises , &o . As many were sitting on forms and ohairs when the accident occurred , they fell backward ? , and some went through tho opaniBg and performed complete Eummersets before they reached terra firma . Singular to relate , that portion of the attic floor appropriated for the station of the lecturer , chairman , &c , did not give way , aud they r . raained affrighted spectators of the awfui catasti i > phe , which afforded them a striking picture of an f . anfcquake in miniature .

      The brother of tho unfortunate deceased has been taken into custody and examined before the magistrates at Shotlev-bridgo on suspicion of being the murderer , and he was ye 3 torday remanded for further examination .
