      jrCSDEK . William Lodge and Joseph Lodge ( brother ;) , and John Ledge , a nephew of the other two , were indicted for the wilful murder of Thoma 3 Dcpledge , of the parish of ParEeid , in this county , on the 11 th of October last . The nephew wa 3 indicted as an accesory before the fact , the others as principals . Mr . Knowi . es , Mr . Fashley . and Sir . Ovesexd , conducted the case for tre prosecution . ; Mr . Roebuck defended the nephew John , and Mr . Wilki > 5 appeared lor the other prisoners .

      From the statement of Mr . Ksowixs to the jury , it appeared that the prisoners are all farming labourers , and reside , the iwo jirst at Wombwell , and the nephew at Goldsthorpe , near Barn ^ iey . About eight o ' clock on the evening cf the lkh cf October , which was BawLy fair , two men named Mihies and MsrsdeDj were returning from the fair , and had got as far as Naesbsreugh , on the road from Barnsley , towards Doncaster , when they overtook Joseph and John Lodge on horseback . Some women wera walking on the causeway , and Joseph had one of hi 3 children on the pummel of the sada'ie before him- A gnsrrel arose , either from some stones being thrown , or from , some - observations made by Milnes upon Joseph ' s horse , upon which he gave the child to one of the women , and proceeded to horsewhip Marsder :, and then got uff his horse , and knocked Marsden down , fell upon him , and bit Ms cheek . Milnes then interfered , and was

      knocked down , and bit in the hand . A . young man named Jaesop pulled him away , whtn he offered to fight Jessop , and then ran off , a > was " supposed , towards Barnsley , without his hat , which either Milnes or Marsden took up , and cirried with them . Later in the evening , the three prisoners came to a public-house near Ardsley , where they went ir , and . booking round , said they are not here . "' Joseph ' s face and shirt were bloody . One asked what was the matter , when William said they were lookiag for some men who had stolen Joe ' s hat , and if they could not find them in any public-Tioase , John knew where one of them lived , &nd they would have his liver enk v They then proceeded towards Goldsthorpe , and then to the Ring of Bells at DarSe-d

      Bridge . Thi 3 was not the direct read to" Wombwell , but they conld get that way . Here they found Milnes and Marsden in the back kitchen , with Lodge ' s hat on the table . Joseph Lodge took it up and said , " This is mine , and I'll make it a dear 'tin to you . " Other angry words followed , but the bystanders interfered to prevent violence . The Lodges then went into the front kitchen , and sat in a window where they couid see into the back kitchen , through the door-way . They kept ths door open . After a time they weni oat and placed themselves near the house , at tins corner of a lane called Penfold-lane . Soon after Mihies and Marcden , and five or six other persons , went out to go home , besides two women , and three men on horseback . For a little time they kept together in consequence of a hint the landlord dropped respecting the Lodges , bat soon growing tired of a slow ps ^ e . the horsemen went forward

      Then Miines and Marsden got on * and met the deceased , Depledgc , who lived in that direction . In appearance and dres 3 he resembled Milnes . In a tew minutes the Lodges passed quickly , and the jsitj who h&d kept together , fearing mischief , pushed on . Soon after a heavy blow was heard , and about one hundred yard 3 farther on they found Depledga lying on the 103 d weltering in his blood , which was flowing copiously from hi 3 nose , ears , and mouth . He was then insensible , and expired before they conld take Mm to a house . At the same time they heard the soodcI of feet going in the direction of Wombwell , and Milnes and Maxsdea swore thai two men had run pas ; them , ono of whom was Joseph Lod ^ c Both bad sticks . They did not hear any one struck before ths Lodges passed , which was accounted Tor by the wind beiog in their faces .

      Certain depositions made by John Lodge before the coroner ' s inquest , where he was examined as a . witness , and betore he was put iir charge himself , were tendered as evidence against him , but after considerable discussion were withdrawn . Mr . Wii . ki > -s addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoners . As to John Lodge , iha Learned Judge thought ihere was no cise against him , and directed his aecquittal . His Lordship then summed np the case against the other two prisoners , and The Jury , after a shon retirement , returned with sverdici of manslanght-er , against both Joseph and William Lodge . . They were sentenced k > bs transported for fifteen years .

      I commencful at Leeffs , snd proeeedtd to Doncaster , anA in that r .-mtocratie place Chaitism is in the ascendant . We got the use cc the Town Hall for our meetings . My-worthy and la ' . eLt . ( 1 prerttcessor , Mr . Jones , bos done much fcr % ho cause in this district The Town Hall was first grant id for bis use ; and s 0 long as the Chartists conduct th ^» ir meetings witU the good order ana decorum thiit they h'avt done ., t ' . it-y will always be allowed it . I hud a splendid meeting ; the Mayor and a grer . t many of ihe middle clasbes wcro ptesent > and listened-with great attention . . I then proceeded to Howdcn , -where Chartism is in its infancy : the principles : are quite novel to them . I addressed a good meeting in the Market Place . Tiicy seemed to be very shy ; bnt notwitbstanriing its being a wet right , they stood and listened attentively . There is a ihiiving Asaociatipn h « re , and ths petition is teing numerously signed .

      I next went to Holme , a large -village , ancl Chartist to the back-bone . No place , for its tizo , is better than this ; they are all up to the mark . I next visited Pdcklington » nrt here I cannot say too ranch for the brave men of Pocklington ; they meet and instruct one another , and circulate cheap political tracts among their neighbours and the farmers , and are creating a fciir i ' efcling in favour of onr pricciplea ; I -wish all towns would do likewise . There are a number of villages around that want lecturers , if some of car &ieads conld visit them they would do much good . The worthy secretary is going to open an Association at Stamford Bridge , on Sunday next , that I may Visit in my nextronte . 1

      I proceeded to York , and lectured in their large room , Fosegate , on Sunday night and Monday nigtit . York is thorcughly Ccartist , but they are held under coercion , and a great many dare not publicly avow it ; and no wonder , when we consider the fact that there are twenty-fjur churches , and a long ttibe of parsonain fact , a " surplus population" of thtm . Bai ' the cause is going on gloriouaJy .

      VILLANY , BRUTALITY , AND HYPOCRISY EXPOSED AND CHASTISED . TO THE EDITOa OF THB NOttTHERN STAB . Sir , —Allow me through the medium of your invaluable paper , to lay before your nuinerous x « adera and public at large , a few facts connected with' the outrageous aud btutaV affair which took place at the Hall of Science , Camp-field , Manchester , on Tuesday , March the 17 th . I was present , and saw the coTfardly and brutal attack which was made upon the life of Feargus O'Connor , Esq . and the leading Chartists by a set of rumens , their principal leaders being Finigan , Daley , Dufi ^ y , &o . of Auti-Coiu Law notomty .

      Now ; Sir , as I am aware that it ia gsnerally understood that most of these men profess to belong to the Catholie religion , as I know that ' some of their leaders bavb of late been figuring upon the Catholic platforms preaching up temperance , morality , and religion ; and I am aware that the enemies of thai religion , who are alike the sworn enemies of all civil and religious liberty , would take advantage of the circumstance and endeavour to make tho world believe that id ia ia consequence of their belonging to taut religion , and that they ate led on by thbir priests ; and as the Ksv . Daniel Hearuc , who is a countryman of theirs and likewise the president of the Catholic Total Abstinence Society , than whom a more

      charitable , benevolent , and 'liberal minded man does not exist , and who lor his zjal and eXBrtiona in the Tempferance cause his equal is not te be found in England , would come ia for bis share of tho censure ; knowing » 11 this , I conbidered it a duty incumbent on me , in vindication of the character of that religion which I respect aad venerate , and in vindication of the character of tbe clergy , and particularly the character « f the Rev . Dauiel Hearne , whose just and impartial conductin this affair entitles him to the respect and esteem of good men , to lay before your numei-uus readers and the public atkrge , tbo manner iu which the guilty party , particularly the leaders , have been exposed , reprimanded , and denounced as enemies of their country and religion .

      I wiil now lay the facts plainly down just as they have occurred ta me , and leave a wise and just public t <> judge for themselves . ¦ .... "' . ¦ ; I was eye-witness to the whole affair at the Hall of Science . I saw the false statements of a base and a hireling pres ? . I knew that the guilty party would endeavour to make their case clear . I therefore took up my pen aud wrote a report of the whole disgraceful proceedings , and directed it to the Rev . Dauiel Hearne , resolved- that the real truth should be made knovra to him upon my word and honour ,

      that those were . the plain and simple facts , and that if Finigan , JJaley , and the rest of these leaders vs e e not driven . from the Catholic platforms that I would meet them wherever they should dare to appear , and expose them to the public at all risks ; and , Sir , to bis eternal praise be it made known , be did believo my plain and unvarnished statements upon the veracity of my word and honour , in defiance of tbe shuffling statements of the guilty party , and in deaance of the false statements of a base aud a bircllng press . \ \

      It would be Sunday morning when begot my letter ; I attended the Guild Hall in tbe evening , in which the Temperance Society hold their meetings , of which thelisv . Danitl Hearne is tbe president , a room capable of holding upwards of a thousand people . It was crowded , being , 'the Sunday before St . Patrick ' s Day Several persons having addressed the meeting , the Chairman culled upon Mr . Daley , a well known advdcate of the temperanbe cause . Iklr . Daley came forward , and in bis usual hypocritical style , appealed to his Comitryiuen to come forward and join the te . atperahce cause , that they might show to the world that they were ornftinents to their religion and tosocitty that they might bauish prejudice from the world ; hoid out tho light hand of fellowship to every man , no matter what his religion , hia politics , or hia country mu'ht be .

      A respectable man in tbe body of the meeting called out , " Yes , Jifee you did in the Hall of Science on Tuesday night . " At length he sat down . About ibis time Mr . Hearne entered the Hall , and ascended the platform . The first person he came to was Daley . Ho ¦ immediately showed him the door . He then took his seat in the chair . On his left , next to him , sat Finigan , dressed in his official robe 3 belonging to the Holy Guild , which society he has entered , no doubt , as a cloak to cover his villany . To have seen biut you would have thought he was a saint , he sat so mute , pulling a face as long as a fiddle . The moment Mr . Hearnd saw him he ordered him off the platform . He tb . en came t > vha irout of the platform , and in bis usual pointed and eloquent style addressed them to the following effect : —I am sick ; I am coinp . etely dishoartuned : You have given ine enough this time to last me six monthp . You * base conduct ) in the Hall of

      Science has brought disgrace upon me and all connected with you . To think that I cannot go through the streets and hold uiy head up , but must be compelled to hold luy head do vrn through your conduct . 1 have bad statements from both parties . Peopla appeal to me to use my infiuence ; you completely dishearten me . I urn the litad of this tociety ; aud if you continue to disgrace yourselves in thiti manner , I will cut the head off , and the body and the tail may do as it will ; and 1 will leave the town , for I nm determined not to be disfttacad with you . He continued to address them in this style for soma tiino ; and after administering the pledge to a number of poisons , he left the platform . He went into th < a . committee rooai , and there made Finigan ; strip off bis robes , and told him v . ever to attempt to put them on again until , he proved by his couducn that ho was . -worthy of them . He then left the hall , and I have been informed that he went into Littla Ireland to another ¦ 'tx-xiipe ance room , and gave thom a fidvers reprimand : alst > .

      Mr . E'iitor , allow me oue or two word 3 to these uiiaguided mm who have been led into this disgraceful affair by self-n . tercsted men . Fellow slaves , wben will you cut the leading strings , and begin to think and act for > ourselves ? 'When will you open your eys , that yeu may see your real enemies ? R-jnieinOer vhc tyrant ' s motto always is—divi'le and couyvior . He who would set you against your : fellowmaa , is your enemy , no matter what his naine may be . Are you not , as working men , robbed of your hard arniegs by toe same wicked and unjust laws as we are ? Is yourcountry not weighed down by the . earua unbearable load of oppression and taxation that ours is ? Wliy tio you not come forwaivi and join with your follow men , who are struggling to remove these burdens ? ' ¦ ' ¦ ' ' ¦ ¦ ' ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ .- ¦ ¦ " ¦

      O , you are told that the Chartists are cneniies to youi- country ,, and to your Religion , and that they are leaauoa with the Tories . I , as a Catholic , and , on behalf of thousands of n > y fellow Catholics who have joined the Chartists , hurl back the foul calumny in the teeth of auy one who should dare to niake such false iisst'ttiohs . . Good Goil ¦'!• eouid we join with any party who were emmtea to that religion wbieh we respect and venerate , and pBrticulariy with the Tories , that we know aro sworn eiiemiea to all civil and religious liborly ? O , ho , tbe thing is too absurd to be 1 beiieved by any sober or r < tltcting Blind , and the inea who in .-ike the statements know thiit they ate false .

      But you aro told that O'Connor is your enemy . O let mo iiiiploro of you to get iiis leoturea , that he delivertd iu the Hall of Science ^ Call your friends together , and let them be read ; banish prejudice from your minds ; listen patleutly to every word they contain , and then judge for yourselves whether you think he is either ah enemy to your country or your religion . If yoii *> yiil do thia . I pledge ny word that you will curse yours . Jives that you did not listen patiently to hear him lit-Hver them . ¦ My fiiende , whai ia it that O'Connor and the Chartists ate htrugsUngfor ? They are struggling to obtain thoss just and ioalibuable righta which belong equally to eveiy man at bis birth ; but of which they have been so long robbed . They are struggliDg to get a

      power over the law , by wbicb . alone they will ever be able to . free themselves from tne wicked and unjust system which is crushiiig both you and them to the earth . They are stiuggling to give you that power by which alone you will ever be abla to got a Repeal of the Union , so as to be beneficial to the great bulk of the people of Ireland ; that power by which alone you will be able to free yourselves from the fetters of a b . ' gotted , bloated , pliindcring , blood-stained Law Established Church ; It ia for tbe accomplishment of these objects that O'Connor and the Chartists are struggling , and will you not coma aoid join us to obtain such noble objects ?

      CALAMITOUS EXPLQSIQNOje 4 STEAM BOILER ^ SIXTEEN LIVES LO > i ; . CFtmiMGlasgour ^ r ^ of ^ esdayJc ' ] "Thexeadera of our' ^ ^ paper aieaw ^ e tHat ^ fine fast sailing , steamer , named the Telegraph , was lately built for the river trade forthe purpose of competing with the railway . She has beea plying for some time back , and being on the high pressure principle , has beat the swiftest steamers in the passage to Greenock , Yeaterd » y , about half-past twelve o ' clock , the people on the steam-boat quay , Greenock , heard a report as if a battery of cannon had been discharged at Helensburgh ( a distance of four miles ) . A emoke was 8 eea to arise , and telescopes being procured . . ^ ^

      the explosion of the Telegraph was immediately discovered . Two of the tug steamers lying at Greenock quay , got the steam up , and sailed for Helensburgh , to render whatever assistance they could . On arriving at Helensburgh they found that the Telegraph ' s boiler had exploded , and that the hull of the vessel was a total wreck , and literally floating away in pieces . It appears that the passengers for Helensburgh had all landed , and that . the boat was . about to proceed on her passage up the Gairloch when the exploaioa took place . Something _ connected with the management of the valves is supposed to have caused the accident . Since the above was put in type , an acquaintance has furnished us with a few additional particulars in relation to this most appalling catastrophe . It is impossible adequately to describe the scene at the

      moment the explosion occurred . The vessel itself burst liko a bomb shell , and momeutarily became a total wreck- ^ o much bo ^ that not a single part of the vessel remained together afloat . In every direction could be observed } scattered about , the mutilated limbs of the unfortunate passengers , and tho water was literally tinged with their blood . The boiler in the ^ explosion was bloiwi completely ashore , g o as to convey to the spectator the idea of the disappearanco of the ste * mer altogether . When our informant left , k « aw fifteen bodies in the Tontine Hotel , Helensburgh , which ; he recognised . Two :, of the painters' bodies had not been recovered . At halfpast four , the steamer Royal 'Tar . sailed from Helensburgh w _ ith a number-of the wounded bu boardi Of these six were landed ai Greenock , Where the Provost had a number . of biers ready to remove the sufferers that arrived to the infirmary . -

      ( From the Second Edition of the Glasgow Chronicle . This , we regret to say , has been one of the . most frightful catastrophes we have ever been called upon to record . The vessel itself , we learn , is literally shivered into spars , and the force of the explosion was so tremendous that the engine was blown to a distance of twenty yards . The dead bodies present a shocking spectacle , one of them being completely decapitated , and others go dreadfully bruised and burned , that they hardly present one vestige of humanity , " The list of the killed and wounded , bo far as can yet be ascertained , is as follows :-- .

      Killed—Captain Ewing , of the Telegraph ; W , Bannatyne , engineer of ditto ; Mr . Hedderwicki of the firm of Hedderwick and Rankine ; Mrs . How of Greenock ; Miss Keitb , sister to Mrs . How ; John M'Diarmid , pilot ; - — - M'Nair ; Robert M'Auslan , one of the crew ; Robert Cadenhead , carpenter , Go van ; Peter M . * Lintock and Thomas M Queen , painters—bodies not found ; Daniel Sinclair , fireman ; a pilot , name unknown ; two men , supposed to be tailors—names not known ; James Johns'on , late of the Waterloo House , Greenock ; another man , name not known . -

      Wounded—Mrs . Keith , Greenock , much hurt , but able to walk ^ mother of the two ladies killed ; John M'Neil , bruised ; Richard Anderson , foreman to Heddervvick and Rankine , dangerously wounded ; James Stenhouse , carpenter , severely wounded ; Miss M'Kellor ^ , Greenock , hurt , but not dangerously ; Charje 3 M'Quarrey , paiiiter , badly wounded ; Geo . Leek , ditto , leg broke in two places , and otherwise hurt ; Pugald Cameron , deck hand , slightly wounded ; Duncan Kennedy , ditto ; Laushlan Cameron , severely wounded . . This list , although not altogether complete , contains nearly the whole of the casualties .

Abont niue o ' clock , Mr . Francis Martin , farmer , of Ufford , after being repeatedly aautioned that his teasing a very fine tiger in one of the cages was foolish and dangerous , was seized by the animal , which fixed its terrific teeth in the muscles and bones of the right fore-arm of Mr . Martin . Every effort to compel the tiger to loose its jaws was ineffectual , until a hot iron was applied to its nostrils , and then Mr . Martin was able to drag himself away , having his arm lacerated and injured so dreadfullythat danger of fatal consequence still exists . — Stamford Mercury .

      A Curious Mistake . —On Wednesday week , a man was brought before the Brighton bencn , charged with bs ^ ihff . The policeman having proved the offence , Mr .

Thisf announcement caused a roar of laughter } in which the bench could not refrain from joining . The worthy magistrate , however , immediately cori'ecied himself , and said hi meant the House of Correcii $ n , and committed the prisoner accordingly .
