      WAXUUNCrTOlT . —A Fatal Aoch > e > t occurred on the 10 th inst . to a little girl , named Whitaker , aged two years , whose father ud mother work at the ard-room of Messrs . Allan *; the mother had taken the children to their gnndmothar , u usual , before Sing to her work ; when the elder child wu taking r to bed , the candle caught the child's nightgown , who was dreadfully burnt on the belly . The poor child lingered in great agony until the following d&y . EE 7 WOO 9 ,-On Saturday morning last , a Wrson named Holt , hanged himself in Knott Bank ood , near this place . He was a bricklayer ' s labourer ; and baing oat of work some time , is thought to bare cauBtd him to destroy himself .

      Thbsk Poob Law Gcajrdiaxs were nominated kw » on Monday last , who profess to be haters of the abominable sjstem , wnen a rote of censure was patxed upon the -writer of a libel in as address , for which oar champion , Feargns O'Connor , hai to Knger eighteen monthf in the Whig hell hole . aUDDUETOJTt—Blessixcs of the Rural Police . —Under the old system , the constabulary rate in Middleton , only amounted to ten pounds a year ; under the new , it amounts to upwards of £ 100 . The police rate , under th « old rate , was only £ 5 &i Compton ; under the new , it it more than for the whole county -put together ; before the establishment of the rural police , the rate was , as we said before , oijly £ 5 , now it is upwards of £ 100 ; and during the sixteen months before the introduction of the police , only one commitment had been made by the magistrates , and that vr » s a young woman for stealing oatmeal to e » t . Only look on this , and for a moment contemplate what it will be in the aggregate !

      SUDBURY . —A petition having been sent up from Sudbury , by upwards of 40 * of the working classes , against the New Poor Law , which was entrusted to Mi . Fieldtn for presentation , that gentleman Bent the following letter in reply , which we insert for the benefit and ad-rice of our readers : — " London , March 2 , 1841 . " Dkab Sib , —I hare to-day presented to the House of Commons , the petition &ga . iasi the New Poor Law , which you advised me of in . jour letter of the 25 ; h of Ftbruary . " I should be glad if the inhabitants of every town j » d Tillage in the Kingdom , would petition immediately against the New Poor Law . If they would lake this advice we should give it a mortal stroke Hub sessioD , I do believe .

      u The people should never abandon the right of petition . It is the best and safest weapon they can use , and , if persevered in , will be the most effective . Encourage all yon can to petition during the present month . " I am , Dear Sir , , : " Your obedient Servant , ** JOJLS FlELDEf . ; * Mr . Joseph Goody . " tONDON . —The Cobbett Club . —The annual ' meeting of the Obbett Club wa 3 holden , on Tuesday , at the Crown and Anchor . About 150 . gen-. lemen ! sat down to dinner , and many capital speeches were j joade , Onr excellent correspondent has sent us a , Tery full report of the proceedings , for which we have not room : our columns being pre-occupied .

      BSJaDFOBD . Ckckl Trkatmest op Pacpees . —On passing the Bradford Bastile , on Thur-day week , noticed a voting healthy look- ; ing woman , washing the front doorway , on her , bended knees ; on hearing » rattle of chains , we i begun to look round to ascertain the cause , when , ' to our surprise , we espied a strong chain , which ' passed from one leg to the other of the young ¦ wsman , fastened at each end wjth a large padlock . "We were informed , on inquiring the reasoD , that ; she had absented herself withont leive . Oh , happy j England ; the admiration of the world , and the ' envy of surrounding nations ! ' .

      HT 7 DSEXLSFIHLD . —The new election for a Board of Guardians is just at hand ; another struggle is to be made to elect such persons a 3 will if possible , pre a death blow to the accorded law , and place the management of the poor in such Bands as can ympathise with a fellow-creature in distress . We understand that a contest will take place in most of the townships ; the people therefore will have an opportunity to record their votes against the Three Devil Kings' law ; , if they do their work well , in all probability , before long , each township will have to manage it § own iffaiis ,

      Anti-Cobs Law Hole a ? td Cosxeb MEETING — The Operative Anti-Corn Law Association of this town i » trying to get up another " Sire up , "' but the obstacle which stands in the way is , " Will the Chartists oppose us ! " One of these worthies dedared that they should not , " for to siop them we must have it where they can be kept out . " So it was proposed to have , not a public meeting to get up petitions , but a tea party , and invite some great men ; and there pass the petition and get it signed . It was agreed to , and in the course of a short lime , we may expect to see a snug " flare-up" to ktep the Chaniste away , knowing sa they do , that the Chartists have declared u > meet any party in public meeting , on any public question , to ci » cus 3 the merits of such , no opportunity will be pven ihem ; but the old system of bole and corner meetings will be its end .

      Huddebjtieu Bastile . —There was a thin attendance of Guardians on Tuesday , but a very full attendance of applicants , trembling to meet the leeches , who , gorged with the blood of the poor , arc always reaay arrogantly to perform the part of w Buff ? the beggar . " After a tedious and irksome duty of examining into the numerous cases of-the applicants , ( during which Washington , the relieving officer , refused to pay what the Guardians ordered , ) Mr . Batley , in the absence of the Chairman , read a letter from the Poor Law Commissioners , in Teply to that ordered to be sent , containing the resolution passed for dissolving the Union , on that day fortnight ; which said leiter to the Commissioners also -contained the v « ies on the question . The Commissioners' letter stated that , as the resolution was to contrary to the spirit of the New Poor Law , they eould not assent to the dissolution . Mr . Bull

      Briggs moved that as there was only & female to manage the poor in Hoaley Workhouse , that four » en be removed from there to Golcar , and that four females Ehould be exchanged from Golcar to Honley . Mr . Pitkeihly expressed his surprise that any truch proposal should be made , because he considered the Governess of the Hoaley Workhouse as talented a woman as that of the Hudderifield Workhouse . He opposed the principle , because every town ought to be as capable as another of managing their own poor ; and moved , as an amendment , that no exchange should be made until the debt due by the township of Golcar be paid to the treasurer of the Union . The amendment was lust . The following notice of Mr . Pnksthly was next read by the Clerk , vix , " Thai on Friday next , be intended to move that this Board do petition both Houses of Parliament against Lord John Russell's proposed TJili for the continuance of the Poor Law

      Commisnoners , and that the petitions be forwarded for presentation as early a 3 possible . " Alter some discussion , a morion for doing away with Mr . Pitkethly ' s notice was carried . Mr . Pitkethly then gave the following notice , that on Friday , the 22 th inst ., lie would move " That the bastardy accounts be exhibited at this board on that day , " and also" Foi % return of the numbers , ages , sexes , and condition of the instate of the several workhouses in the Union , viik the average cost of each per head pel ¦ week , also of the health , habits , and cleanliness and ( if any ) what diseases exist aaongEt them .

      Mr . Stephcts . —Pursuant to announcement by placard , Mr . Stephens visited this town , on Tuesday evening , for the purpose of preaching a sermon , as his first introdnction to the Oldham people . Our correspondent has sent us a long report , but we have not room for its insertion . XXEDS . —AccmETr . —On Saturday afternoon last , a journeyman painter , named Peter Took , a widower , residing in Ebenexer-street , was employed in painting the upper windows of a three-Btory house , at the corner of Skinner-lane and North-Btreet , when ho overreached himself , and fell backwards from the top of the ladder on which he was standing . He pitched upon his head , and wa » killed upon the spot ; he was forty-four years of age . An inquest was held the Bame night before John Blackburn Esq ., at the house of Mr . Catlow , the Notrh Tavarn , and a v « rdict of " Accidental Death" was returned .

      Fblost . —On Monday two young lad « , bnt old thieves , named George Buckley and David Pollard , were charged before the magistrates with , having etolea a till and a quantity of copper coin , from a shop at the top of Richmond-street , the property of Mr . John Turner . The lada had twice before attempted to obtain the contents of the till in question , and on Sunday evening , while the back door of the house was left temporarily open , they contrived to obtain access to the shop , and being overheard , were seised with the property in their possession . They were committed for trial . Rack for Mill Hill . —A seat in the Municipal

      Council of this Borough , in Mill Hill Ward , having become vacant by a shuflie of the pea by the " thimbleriggers , " who now pretend to govern this unfortunate town , a Emtrt r * oe for the konour of filling the vacancy took place on Monday . The competitors were Mr . J . G . Uppleby—eolour blue , with an old corporation cap ; and Mr . R . J . Richardson , in harlequin jacket , and yellow cap . The struggle was desperate ; the betting at starting being rather in favour of "harlequin . " Blue , however , sprang off with the lead , at nine o ' clock in the morniug , was never headed , ( though the other tried for a " cross , ") and won cleverly by twenty-one lengths , at four o clock in the afternoon .

      TOORTI . EY . —Thebraveand enterprising Radicals of Wortley , who have formed a good and flourishing association in Upper Wortley , broke ground last Wednesday night , in Lower Worthy . The meeting was held in the large room of the Fleece Inn , and was completely crammed . Mr . W aite was called to the chair . Resolutions were passed to the effect , that nothing short of the People ' s Charter will place England in a happy condition , and that the meeting pledge itself to stand by it , and not to accept

      either the Corn Law ,-or the Household-Suffrage Mongers' half measures . Messrs . Westlake , Roberts , lllingworth , and Brook , attended as a deputation from Leeds , and spoke with considerable effect to the resolutions . The secretary wa 3 bus ^ taking names down , when the deputation left . It ii hoped that the men of Lower Wortley will avail themselves of the opportunity now presented . We believe it is the intention of the Radicals to go on and establish associations in Armley and Bramley as soon as commodious places can be secured .

      A P £ fia at a Poi-ice OrFicB . —There is nothing but revolutions in this world . It in but k few days since Lord Cardigan was brouiht to trial in the Hou » e of Lords for shooting &t one Harvey Tuckett ; and yesterday we had the Bon and sepkevr uf Baron Foster paraded at College- street police-office for horsewhipping a Peer of the realm , who i » commonly called Viscount Massareen . The asguilt occurred upon Tuesday , in Nassau-street , when Mr . Charles and Mr . Arthur Foster meeting Lord Massareen , asked him " if he knew them ? " to which he replied in the negative . They were ,, however , not to b * put . off in this way ; so one of them pulling out a irhip commenced flagellating the Peer across his noble shoulders , and when this ceremony was concluded , the operator and his companion proffered his chastened Lordship their cards ,

      ¦ which he in a dignified manner declined . With aching shoulders he proceeded to College-street police-office , and purchased a summons , as a cataplasm for his wounded dignity . To this legal challenge the Foster * appeared , and confronted the haughty and horsewhipped Massareen . The business commenced by Mr . Hitchcock , the Magistrate , very improperly proposing a private investigation , which was objected to by that highly respectable Barrister , Mr . J . A . Curran , who insisted that the inquiry should be a public one . The examination thea proceeded , and Mr . Curran elicited from Lord Massareen that he was cot only a poet , bat the author of a work entitled , " The Sketch of L » ve , " which we understand—for Mr . Hitchcock would not allow it to be read—relscted with much severity upon Baron Foster . Lord Mass&reen intimated that hejonly

      desired his assailants shonld be bound over to keep the peace , and they were accordingly held to bail , that they should not , under a penalty of two hundred pounds , horsewhip his Lordship for a twelvemonth . Here 13 another case which the Thunderer of PriDting-housesqnare may cite to prove " th » t there is one law for the rich and another for the poor . "" We leave out Gf sight th&j > rovoeation which Lard Massareen may have given the Foster family , and which tempted them to commit & breach of the law by horsewhipping him in the public street . It may fcave been very grievous or frivolous—it may have alluded to what Professor Napier -would call " the clouded morning of a uiisspfesit life , " or to seme trifling eccentricity of character only calculated to excite a mi ' ile , bnt , be the

      provocation what it may , with that we have nothing to do , having merely to deal "with the judicial conduct of the police justice . Bad trample is contagious . Lord Denman , it will be remembered , the olhsr day was the advocate for compounding a criminal charge against the Eirf of Waldegrave , "who had nearly murdered & police constable , and the Dublin Migistrate , treading in the steps of the Lord Chief Justice , proposes a private investigation of a ctse in which a Peer and the son and nephew of a Judge are the parties engaged . Had a hard-working mecb&nic , or even an industrious shopkeeper , been brought before this Justice Hitchcock upon a similar charge would ho have proposed a private investigation , and allowed the offence to be compounded ? Of a verity we live in an age of impartial justice . —The TTtrld ( Dublin } .

      LEGAL FaS « K THE SECOND . —There has been a J pendant to the Cardigan mockery of justice at the Old j Bailey , in the trial of his Lordship ' s second , Captain ¦ Douglas . The Judge upon whom devolved the first i part in the farce , had to wonder that there was no I counsel for the prosecution , to explain that there was > no evidence that Harvey Tuckett was Harvey Garn « tt j Puipps Tuckett , or that Captain Douglas was Captain I Douglas . He said that everybody knew that Captain j Tuckett had been fired at , and wounded by , Lord Cardigan , on 'Wimbledon Common , but that , according i to the rules of law , and the evidence produced , no one , coal . i legally know it There is such a thing as getting j up a case for trial , and also there is such rv thing as nut gfettiag up a case for trial , or rather getting it up for an acquittal by the non-production of evidence . This has

      been done by the attorney employed by Government on the pre * = nt occasion , to avoid the scandal of a conviction of Captain Douglas in a criminal court , after the acquittal of his prtncipai in the highest tribunal in the If aim . The sauce for the goose ha * been made sauce for tlie gander . That there has been equal injustice in the two cases cannot be denied ; but how disgraceful it is , for any reason or object whatever , that the persoos ostensibly employed on the part of the public for the furtherance of justice , should really have been engaged in producing so imperfect a case as to elude it . There cannot now be a doubt that the same contrivance was employ- , d to procure the acquittal of Lord Cardigan , j which appears so nakedly in that of Captain Douglas . '• With a public prosecutor , tricks of this sort , making a ! mociery of justice , would be impossible . —Ea * inin * r .

      SECOND EDITION . ? PBOM OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENT . London , Thursday Evening , March 11 , Quarter to Seven . DEFEAT OF " MR . WALTER'S MEETING " AT THE CROWN AND ANCHOR , AND TRIUMPH OF THE CHARTISTS . A meeting , advertised for twelve to-day , took place at one o ' clock , " to remonstrate against the continuance of the Poor Law Commission . " Mr . Walter , on taking the chair , said , —Though he had no share in calling the meeting , he had readily obeyed the summons to take the chair ; and he trusted that the more Opulent of the community would feel that society could not subsist in this or any other country where a wide chasm separated the affluent from their more humble fellow creatures . There was no disaffection or turbulence resulting from the law , which he had not predicted at the

      time of its introduction : it was stated at first that the law was only to be aa experiment ; now they seek to make that law perpetual , for whether the ministry seek to renew the term for five years , or for ten , signifies nothing , the drift is to perpetuate it ; but before the term is expired for which they may renew it , there will be a convulsion in the country . ( Hear , hear . ) He then referred to the statement made by Lord John ltua » eU-ia the House of Commons , that Chartism wag to be ascribed to the agitation got up iu opposition to the New Poor Law . They had all heard the history of ihn unfortunate , and ho would say , misguided criminal . Frost . ( Cries of " No . " " He ' s an honest man . " ) Well , he ( the speaker ) still thought

      that he was crimiual , because the constitution left open peaceable means to procure a redress of grievances ; though , undoubtedly , the legislature ought to have paid great deference to the opinions of such men as Mr . Frost . He ( Mr . Walter ) had received two letters from Mr . Front , when the latter held the situation of Mayor of Newport , and when he had besu just appointed a guardian of the poor . In one of these letters , Mr . Frost expressed his opinion that the poor law dietary table was insufficient to sustain life . Yet , the Board of Guaidiaiis were compolled to adopt one of six of such tables , sent by the Poor Law Commissioners , and he ( Frost ) would not , in the situation be held , whether he offended the Poor Law Commissioners

      or no :, allow those who were unfortunately reduced to seek relief , to be etarvod under their regulations . ( Loud and general cheering . ) In the second letter , Mr . Frost expressed his conviction that the hatred to the Poor Law was strongly increasing ; and that it was monstrous to think that thrso hired men should have bo much power in their hands , while the Boards of Guardians were mere ciphers ; though , if it were not tor the Guardians in populous places , the poor would be much worse off . ( Loud , loog , and continued cheering . ) His ( Mr . Walter ) correspondence with Mr . Frost begun and ended with these letters . He contended that the New Poor Law , in operation and in apprehension , stimulated that feeling which eventually broke out in

      overt acts of treason , [ Messrs . Wakley and Duncombe here entered the room , aud were loudly cheered . ] The Commissioners would not allow the Guardians to give the paor one ounce of food beyond the allowance in their dietary tables , but the Board was left the odious power of reducing it , if they could safely do so . In the more populous districts the Commissioners dare not apply the whole rigours of the law ; for the workhouses have been so crowded that the Guardians have been compelled to administer out-doer reliefon their miserable scale . Mr . Walter then read a letter , in which it was asserted that poor families had subsisted for several days on Swede turnips , rather than submit to the infamous regulations of this odious law . One of the best regulations ( said he ) of our excellent church ( loud laughter ) was , that the poor were entitled to

      the first care . Bishop Hall says , No mischief is so devilish as when it is cloaked with piety . " ( Loud and general cheering . ) The Commissioners say that the duty of supporting pareuts and ahildren is so strongly implanted in our nature as to be observed even among savages ; and vet , that England is the only European nation where that duty is neglected;—he ( Mr . Walter ) was porry to speak disruspectfully of any member of the royal family , but was it not a fact that a late royal duke received £ 10 , 000 a year for visiting his sick parent , and was it worse for a poor person to receive a 81 U&U pittaiiee to Lelp to support their parents ? ( Loud cries of " True , " k . o , here interrupted the speaker for some minutes . ) After ineffectually endeavouring to make himself heard , the Hon . Member took the chair , and called upon the mover of the first

      resolution . Dr . Mau . nse . ll said , as a stranger , he would rely upon their indulgence for a few moments only . Ho began by reading a long resolution , stating that the attempt to continue the power of the Commissioners was alike unprincipled , treacherous , and base . He ( the speaker)—though opposed , toto ccelo , to the present Poor Law , still thought the poor had a right to relief . He next read a letter from Mr . Hoyes , stating , in resigning his situation as a guardian , that the law was one for stripping the poor of their last remaining right , under pretence of giving them

      employment ; to rob the rate-payer of his money ; and to place those who violate the order of the commissioner * upon the treadmill tor a month , without even trial by jury . ( Shame , shame . ) The Commissioners have published orders , making it penal for a reporter from the public press to be present at any meeting of Guardians ; and one of the Guardians who had exposed a most flagitious job received a letter from the Government , btating that his services as medical attendant to the lunatic asylum would be dispensed with if he continued to act as guardian . The speaker sat down , loudly cheered .

      Mr . Hanson said they bad taken the legal and constitutional means of remonstrating with the House of Commons on the attempt to re-appoint the three despots of Somerset House ; and to petition the legislature not to carry out this dcteEtable measure any further . Having referred to the plurality of votes , he averred that if , in the late inclement weather , private charity had not been extensively applied , hundreds must have died from actual starvation . In the last report of the

      Commissioners , they put forward to tho House of Commons the best dietary table , where fifteen ounces of meat are allowed per week—( a cry of " read the Chartist Circular ")—instead of that table which allows only five ounces a week . Ho trusted that anything of a political feeling would be thrown aside ; they had assembled for a humane and a particular purpose ; and they bad seen that the introduction of other topics had destroyed the effect of many meetings . ( Loud laughter , amid which the speaker sat down . )

      Mr . Cleave , amid tremendous cheering , moved the following amendment : — ' That this meeting , while it would solemnly record its detestation of the principles and the administration of the New Poor Law , sees no efficient remedy for that and numerous other bad laws under which the industrious classes of this country suffer , until class legislation be abolished , by every man capable of bearing arms in defence of this country , exercising his constitutional ri ^ ht to vote for those persons who make the laws which all classes are called upon to obey . "

      The man Who was most anxious io serve ihe cause of liberty and of the poor ( said Mr . Cleave ) would hear fairly and fully every man who addressed them ; there was but one feeling in that meeting—a solemn aud determined feeling of detestation against both the principles and the practices of the Poor Law Commissioners ; the Whigs have called some of the people Tory-Radicals ; but there was no innate love of Toryism in them , and if they had played into the hands of any party , it was to endeavour to destroy one faction through the agency of another : they all knew the history of Mr . Walter ( loud cheers and much interruption ); they were , however , indebted to the paper with which he was connected—the Times—( loud groans);—for its

      opposition to the Poor Law ; he read a dietary table , which first saw the light through the means of that paper ; in that table five ounces of animal food were allowed on a Sunday for the whole week—( hear);—but owing to the exertions of some influential parties , this table was amended , by the allowance being divided , and two and a half ounces given on Sunday , and the other two aud a half on Wednesday . (" Shame . ") The food allowed to the convicted prisoners in Tothill-fields House of Correction was more than that allowed to the paupers in the workhouses ; nay , it was even mor « than was enjoyed by the free agricultural labourer ? , i or the people to remonstrate with such a House as the presentwould be madness ( loud

      , shoute , and long-continued cheering ); t , he meeting seemed to think with him , that the reformed House must itself be reformed , and that the unwholesome and debilitated constituency must be strengthened by a strong infusion of the democratic spirit . ( Tremendous cheering . ) The infamous wars plat n « d by the aristocracy were all entered upoa to kee \> back Universal Suffrage ; and ef what use , then , * 'oold it be to talk about the Poor Law , when , if the W higs were out of office to-morrow , the accureed i ^ ill would be continued by the Tories . If they thoua . ht with him , they would pass that amendment . ' ( Lou d cheers . ) With these feelings he moved the amendment , and committed it to their goodly keeping , quite content with the issue .

      Mr . Spues seconded the amandmMt . He had prepared an addendum to the reatonstrance ; but thev were not there so much to deprecate the evils « V the Poor Law Bill , as to seek th « means of remedying it . The Chairman had alluded to John Frosthe never would have been transported , had he not opposed those who sought to oppress the poor ; but they would allow him to say tnat thev would soon have him back again . ( Several distinct rounds of applause were given as Mr . Spurt concluded . ) Mr . Bogsis supported the amendment .

      The Chairman , before putting the question , read letter from Lord Stanhope , deprecatory of the New Poor Law , and Btating that the industrious classes should be fully represented ; and he ( Mr . Walter ) suggested , that Mr . Cleave should withdraw the amendment , to preserve unanimity . Mr . Clkavb dissented . The partizans of the Chairman besought Mr . Cleave to compromise , but without effect ; and , ultimately , amid loud cries for the amendment , Mr . Wailut rose , and stated that nothing could be more untrue than the statement made that day , that he had promised to support the Poor Law Amendment Act . For five years he was against it for even a day ; from the bottom of hi * soul he detested it . He had a mixed motive in coming herefirst , to concur with them in expressing their detestation at ths infamous law ; and , secondly , to record

      his respect for tbe honourable chairman . ( A cry" He won't give us the Suffrage . ") He ( the chairman ) was one of the four Tory members who voted for the recall of the Dorchester labourers . ( Loud and enthusiastic cheering . ) He ( Mr . Wakley ) never would forget such noble and disinterested acts ; and he knew no single act of Mr . Walter ' s against the people , except on the question of the suffrage . ( A voice— ' * Give us that , and we'll get the rest . " ) He agreed with those who thought that Parliament would never be properly constituted till the working classes were fully and fairly represented— ( loud cheers)—and cordially agreed with both the motion and the amendment ; but he thought the object for which they had assembled claimed their undivided attention . He recommended them , therefore , to carry their amendment at the end of the resolution . <•* Na , bo . " ) ;

      A gentleman , who announced himself as a radical reformer of twenty yrars , aaid Mr . Wakley must know that the House of Commons , as at present constituted , would not listen to their prayers ; and he ( the speaker ) was , like themselves , for the amendment . ( Loud cries of " question" being raised , Mr . Walter said they had met there for a distinct object ; and he would net consent to tho introduction of any political question . ( Hisses and groans . ) He had been at great empenct in getting up the meeting , aud he should decline to put tie amendment . A scene now ensued that baflea description . The whole meeting , with the « xception of a score of

      persons at the utmost , vented their indignation at this impudent defiance of the opinion of the meeting . At length , Mr . Wall moved that Mr . Walter do leave the chair , which was seconded , and carried almost unanimously ; Mr . Neesom was then elected to that post ; Mr . Walter would not " quit ; " and for some time two chairmen contended for the control of the meeting ; who , however , would not be controlled , so long as Mr . Walter remained as chairman . At length , Mr . Wells , the newly-elected common-councilman , obtained a hearing , and said , atter a storm there generally came a calm ; and he , therefore , moved the adaption of a remonstrance to the House of Commons ; which being read by the secretary , and seconded ,

      Mr . Lee said , he would not allow the brave London garrison , " as they had been justly denominated , to stultify themselves , after having nobly done their duty , in spite of the gross partiality of their ex-Chairman ; they had adopted an amendment , declaratory of tbeir having no hope of redress till the whole people were fully represented , and yet they were about to remon strate with a House , whose political right of existence they repudiated . He , therefore , moved , " that Mr . Walter , by his gross partiality in refusing to put the amendment , had justly incurred the censure of tne meeting , which was thereby accorded to him : and that , having declared their sentiments , this meeting do now peaceably separate . "

      This proposition , which found adozen " seconders , was received with tumultuous cheering ; in the midst of which the Hon . Member for Berkshire , accompanied by Messrs . Duncombe and Wakley , and about a dozen other gentlemen , retired , greeted with palpable tokens of disapprobation . The Chairman put Mr . Lee ' s motion , which was adopted unanimously , and the assembly very peaceably separated .

      LEEDS . —Drvnk and Disorderly . —On Tuesday kbt , a woman , named Scott , who said she was a widow , and had three children , was brought before the magistrates by one of the watchmen , who charged her with being very drunk , and creating a great disturbance in the street , at two o ' clock that morning . The guardian of the night , with great simplicity , said that when he asked the woman why she made so much noise , she told him to " goto hell , " and 60 , said he , " I brought her hero . " The magistrates committed her for one mouth . RxtHEa Jealous , —On Monday last , a Mrs . Slack , appeared at the Court House , to substantiate a charge of assault against Elizabeth Booth . The complainant stated , that she could not live with her husband because of his ill-treatment , and whenever she separated from him , Booth went to solace him in

      his loneliness . She ( the complainant ) bad left her husband last week , when , having no more money than 4 d . tosupport herself , she bought a , few oranges , and whilBt hawing them for sale , at No . 2 , Vicar Croft , on Saturday night , she met with her husband and the prisoner , when they both followed her into the street , and the latter told tho former to " knock her two eyes into one . " Booth then went to work , and the assault was witnessed by a watchman , who took her into custody . It appeared that Mrs . Slack ' s husband had been twice married , having for a former wife been united to Booth's sister , and during the days of his single blessedness , hiB former wife ' s sister had been his comforter . Tho prisoner was fined 5 s . and cost 9 , or sent to Wakefield for fourteen days .

      •• My demerits May speak , unbonnetted , to aa proud a fortane A » this that I have reach'd . " OlHELLD . The first rank of Chartist leaders—the conscript fathers of Chartism—are now wishful to substitute ihe pen for the tongue—to pass from speakers to writers , u many of them passed frotu writers to speakers . Not that they shun danger—not that they court repose-, but because tbeir exertions in the oratorical field are rendered unnecessary by a second rank , which has sprung up in their place . These are actuated by all the zeal of their progenitors ; but they have been taught that " honourable stop , Not to outsport discretion . "

      The way has been cleared for them—a path has been made—a chart or map laid down—they may venture into the " stormy sea of politics" with comparative safety . The shoals , the rocks , the quicksands , on ¦ which several > of their predecessors struck , are all marked out for their avoidauca by soundings , buoys , and beacons . The flrBt navigators won honour—their followers will reap tho benefit . Discovery has left a tract for commerce to pursue . A new era has commenced in Chartism—yes , the yeuth of Chartism is past—it is now entering the

      stage of manhood . The passion of Chartism has become stronger , deeper ; and , though more silent , is not the less likely to effect its purpose . " It cometh and will come ! " It is not to be swept back by a physical force government ; nor lured out of its straightforward course by the smiles of middle-class harlotry . The first period of persecution has been nobly withstood , and we will withstand another , and another , and another , should they succeed , as in gotd truth they may ; fur , be it remembered , that the early Christians wero tried as by fire , ten or more times , before they were pe » - mitted to rest , conscience-free .

      The first hearers of Chartism have become readersthe awakening impressions which they received from the speeches of the first Chartists will now be Confirmed by their writings— -writings not leas bold , and more effective speeches , are seldom heard by all—seldom all remembered . Writings can always be recurred to . There is tbe Northern Star , and brightly has it shone t « guide , to guard , and to cheer the Chartist on his difficult , his painful , and perilous -way—may it long centinue to " silver o ' er his path" in spite of howling wolves , and the dogs that bay it , for its brightness . It has been all that it could be ; but noi all that it would be . Its limits have shut out loads of weekly intelligence—the Editor ' s notes have continually reiterated the cry , " we have no room—a mass of

      matter cannot even be noticed . '" This deficiency of space will bo remedied when O'Connor institutes his daily , or Horning Sktr . He is the Atlas of the Chartist world . With a daily and a weekly paper what more will be wanting?—nothing , save a Monthly Magazine . Kevr&papets are chiefly for news , as tbeir name imj > : ie £ —for the passing occurrences of the day , and for ejAiemeral comments . A Magaiine ii wanting to store up natter for more lasting use , or for preservation . Newspapers are read ; but seldom or ever keptthey are not 'very portable in volumes , and are too bulky even for a table . They are chiefly useful as

      ** winged xouriewr of the air , to fly per post with intelligence of foots—reports of actions .

      THE SHEFFIELD NATIONAL CHARTER ASSOCIATION'S ADDRESS .

      TO FEARGUS O'CONNOR , Esquike . De a R Si R—The Sheffield National CharterAssoclation having long admired and duly esteemed your perwvering and undoubtable seal in the cause of the oppressed millions of England , Ireland , and Scotland , have felt a desire to give expression to their admiration , and confidence , and their gr . \ titude , to one to whom they are ao much indebted . We do not , however , do this as mere Tain adulation ; theae ate not the times for empty pageantry . Whilst the strongholds of irresponsible power continue to threaten , not only onr entire liberties , but even our existence , as an acknowledged portion of the British nation , we have no time for useless or profitless ceremony . But it cannot be idle or vain to encourage th « bold and determined defender of an injured , insulted .

      and oppressed people . Such , Sir , you havo been ; and we augur from the past what will be the future . Tba battle has only just commenced , a few victories have been achieved , but we have to go forward together , from conquering to conquer , until the cries of the distressed and the famished shall no longer be heard in the land ; until the proud oppreisors , like the sinners of the last day , « hall call upon the locks and mountain * to fall upon them , and hide them from the wr » th of au indignant people . Our cry , we say , Sir , U , forwards—forwards , to unrestricted and complete success . Wherever , Sir , you faithfully and honestly lead us , we will follow , quite regardless of dungeons , or even of death itaelf , to aecure our country ' s tights , or to even redress o * r country ' s wrongs .

      We have be « n indueed thus to address you , Sir , more particularly at this time , because there are , we fear , some deserters in the camp—some secret enemies ; as if it were not sufficient for you to battle with open foes , but to have to watch and guard against the insidious and false friends of the people . -But , by the straightforward course you have pursued , you have discomfited tbe one , and struck terror into the other . Even whilst you are encircled within the walla of a prison , though many a betrayer of the glorious causa may essay to stab it in the dark , the almost . oninipreaence and omniscience of the people will protect not only it , but you , from danger . Such unceasing seal , and untiring effort * , and unconquerable energies , cannot fail of ultimate success .

      We wait , SIt , with unc ? aaing anxiety and expectanay the time of your escape frotn the fangs of an unconstitutional , because an irresponsible power . When Chartism will » o longer be tbe Chartiam of the past , but its numbers and its powers will be irresistible -, and guided by an intelligence , that shall ba like th « voice of omnipotence , when he apuke to chaos , " I aai « l let there be light , and it waa io j" aid ereatioa burst forth in all i t * incomprehensible and boundless wonder *; thui shall our native land spring forth fiora the present darkness , confuaion , and discord , into a united , prosperous , enlightened , and happy people . May an all-b « untiful Providence continue to give yom health , energy , and prosperity , f » r many years to come , ia the ardent wish of yours , in tbe great cause of national redemption , The Mbubirs ow thb Sheffield National Chaktbk Association .

The advices from America have had a deteriorating effect on our manufactures .

      Salford Cattle Market , Wednesday , March 10 th .- —There was only a moderate show of Baas « and Sheep to day , scarcely equal to the demand , in consequence both Beef and Mutton were each fully id . per lb . dearer than on this day ee ' unight .

      Throughout the week we have experienced but a limited demand for Wheat , and the tendency towards lower prices noted in LondoD , and most of the leading country markets , has produced som » relaxation here ; on Friday , holders were disposed to sell at a decline , generally of 2 d . to 3 d . per bushel on tho rates of this day se'nnight . Flour has sold slowly , without change in value . Upon a moderate demaud for Oats the importers have been firm , and we still quote the best mealing samples worth 33 . 2 d . to 3 s . 3 d . per 45 lbs .
