  Stkait 5 g Trowsebs . —On Tnesdy last a man ¦ who gave his name James Williams , was brought up at the Court House , before E . Grace and Darnton Lupton , Esqrs ., on a charge of haying stolen four pairs of cloth trowsers , the property of Mr . Matthews , clothes dealer , Eirkgate . The fellow , it appeared , had walked off unseen with the trowers from the shop door of the prosecutor , and before they were missed was given into the custody of the police , whilst offering tbem for sale to Mr . Birch , another clothts dealer , to whom he represented that he had brought them from Manchester , after having made them himself . It is supposed that he has given ia a feigned name , and that he is well known inthe police records of some other place ; the authorrities here , however , have had no previous transactions with hlm . i The bench , committed him for trial . . : -
  
  GLEBES TO THE 1 XC 0 ME TAX CoHMJS 5 ICWEBS . — At a meeting of the Income Tax Commissioners , on Saturday afternoon last , Henry Hall , Esq ., in the chair , Mr , Wm , Nicholson , of Woodhouse Moor , and Mr . John Lofthouse , solicitor , were appointed clerks" to the Commissioners for this borough and neighbourhood . We are told that an office will bo engaged to be appropriated exclusively to the duties which the clerks will have to perform . The Ixcome Tax . —On Saturday , at noon , a meeting of Justices iu aud for the borough of Leeds , and for the West Riding , was held in the Council
  
  Chamber at the Court-House , " to consider the propriety of choosing , and , if necessary , to choose eight persons to be Commissioners for executing the Income Tax Act within the district of the said borough ; and eight persons to supply such vacancies as rcajr arise . " The meeiing was considered DJ their worships to b& a private one , and consequently the reporters were not admitted . We understand , however , itwas not considered advisable to nominate any additienal commissioners for this district , but to leave the duties to be fulfilled by the gentlemen elected at Waiefield on the Saturday previous .
  
  Sebious Assaults . —On Monday last three Pudsey weavers , named Tiomas Waterhouse , Titus Hainsworth , and James OateB , were brought up by warrant at the CouTi House , before E . Grace and Darnton Lupton , Egqrs ., on charges of assaults preferred against them by Mr . Joseph Womersley , of the White Hart Inn , Leeds , and Mr . Edward Beeston , hackney coach proprietor . The assaults were committed on the morning of the previous Wednesday , on which day the principal in the affray , named John Moss , was captured , and was fined £ 5 for each offence . The particulars are as follows : — : Beeston was driving a hackney coach from Padsey to Leeds , about half-past two in the morning , at which lime he got eff the seat to let the horses in the coach walk up Silver-Royd Hill , and when he . got to the top of it , Moss went up and
  
  took hold of the reins as if to turn the coach round towards Pudsey . Beeston remonstrated with him , and was in conseqence struck at over the face . Air . Womersley and another party who were in the coach , got out to see what was the matter , when the o : her prisoner's companions came up , and not only many words ensued , but both Moss and some of his companions also struck at Mr . Womersley and the other party that was with him . Mo 3 s , as we have said , was fined £ 5 for each assault , and the three prisoners now at the bar were identified by'Mr . Womersley and Mr . Beeston , as having been parties to the assault , though not so active as Moss ; they were therefore fined £ 3 and costs in each case . — Several of their companions voluntarily attended , and declared . they -wera present at itlQ &tfriV ? , but the prosecuting parties could not identify ahem .
  
  A Watchful Watchman . —On Tuesday last , a notorious pickpocket , named Catherine Conley , ( who has reared » hopeful thievj pg faaiiiy , ) was brought up at the Court House , having been remanded from Saturday , on a charge of having lightened the pockets of one of the Leeds guardians of the night , of a snm amounting to nearly four pounds . The circumstances are these : —The prosecutor , John Fallows , who , in addition to his pay a 3 a watchmac , ba 3 a pension earned in the sernee of his country , reported himself sick at the police office on Friday night , and did not consequently go on duty . Itappeared however , taat the real cause of absence was the receipt of the aforesaid pension during the week , which led to a wish , natnral of course , on the part
  
  of an eld so ? dier , " to fight his batties o ' er again " over a can of " nut-brown , ' which gave him a victory over all life's ills ; and at eeven o'clock on Saturday morning he had not visited his pillow . He was seen at that hour leaving the Vicar ' d Crot ' t , in company with two women , O . he prisoner , and another who vras discharged , ) and soon afterwards notice was given to the police on duty that a watchman had been robbed at the RisiDg Sun Iun , in Marsh Lane . Policeman Stabb 3 , who had seen-Fallows and his companions , en learning who the * victim was , told what he had seen , and forthwith commenced a pursnit , and both the women were apprehended , Conley with £ 3 16 s . 6 d . in gold and silver in her bo ? om—two sovereigns , three half do ., and the remainder in silver , being similar coin to what Fallows "ha *! lost , but which she declared she had found ia the market . From the evidence given on Monday , it appeared tV . at , after some
  
  coiiTersauon , the gallantry of the old soldier ' led him to propose to the women " a pint i of warm , ' - ' which , nothiag loth , they accepted j and accompanied him to the Rising Sun for that i purpose ; where , after discussing one pint another I wa 3 ordered , for " which the pension again provided . ' Bat , in the midst of all this , forgetting duty and discipline together , poor Fallows was Boon asleep at ) his post , and the contents of his purse were carried i without storm by the wide awake female in whose i custody they were found , ' who , & 3 booh aa shei had conquered marched , quietly eff with the spoil . ! Unfortunately for lier , however , the servant girl at : the " Sun" had seen something of the . inaDeeuvre , j and no sooner was the retreat efftcied , than tho j alarm was Bounded , and a capture was effected be- j fore the enemy had time even to make a decent j forced march , or to deposit the priz ? in a place of , safety . She was fully committed to take her trial at : the sessions .
  
  SHEFFIELD . —Justice . '—The renders of the j Star will remember an account of a . brutal outrage ] coramiitsd by a corporal of the Qaecn ' s Bays npon 1 a young m&n , Bevexsl weeks since , whose life was for ' some time considered to be in danger . The soldier { was committed for trial , and last week the farce ; came off at the Midsummer Quarter Sessions , held J at Rotherham . "The following is from the Indepen- ; dent;— " John M'Kinnon , a soldier , was arraigned > on a charge of assaulting Thomas Ashberry . The i indictment contained four count ? , and charged the . offender with intent to maim , disfigure , disable , and do the prosecntor some grievous bodily harm ; and ;
  
  also with a common assault . Mr . Orerend , to whom the case had b- ^ -en intrusted by Mr . Wilkins , withdrew the more seriouB part of the indictment . The Cnairman , in discharging the prisoner , cautioned him , for the future , not an any account to nse any weapon , of auy description , without the direction of the officers of the regiment (! J He was glad that the officers had given the prisoner a good character ( I ) and ihe prosecutor having very fortunately recovered from the injuries inflicted upon him , he had great pleasure in dischargisg the prisoner . " [ Query—If John M'Kinnon had been a civilian , and his victim one of the " Queen ' s Bayp , " woald the Chairman have had " much pleasure" in discharging him X ]
  
  More Justice . —On Tuesday last , a person named Noakas attended at the Town Hall , to prefer a charge of ill-usage , illegal detention , &c , against the police . Poor Noakes , however , found the table . turned , and a charge ef obstructing the road , &c , brought against him . The facts are briefly as fol-1 OW 3 ; —On Friday evening , July 8 : h , Noakes was standing at the corner of Cattle-ttreet , opposite the Town Hall , talking " to another maD , when , after standing not more than a few minutes . Noakes moved into the road , in the direction of Waingate . He was in the act of crossing the road , when he was col ' ared by two policemen and dragged to the lock-up . There he . was kept from seven o'clock that evening ontil twelve o ' clock the next day , and then
  
  discharged by Mr . Rayner , the police superintendent , without having been brought before a magistrate . Mr . Harney , accompanied by Noakes , saw Mr . Rayner on Monday , and failing to obtaiu satisfaction , resolved to bring the case befoTe the magistrates on Tuesday . Acorriingly , on Tuesday , the parties attended at the Town Hall , when—as above slated—the aggrieved person was himself compelled to appear as defendant S The only magistrate present at the commencement of the investigation was the Rev . John Hand , though Mr . Bagshaw arrived before the close . Mr . Rayner stated his case , and in Enppori thereof called the two policemen who took Ivoakes . They swore that they had repeatedly urged ?\ cakes to leave the spot where he
  
  was standing before they took him into custody , that he was extremely violent and abusive , &c . A shopman of Mr . Woolhouse ' s , grocer , at the corner of Castle-street , was called , and deposed to the " nuisance" of the working men star ding at that comer and hindering their customers coming , &o . 1 Before Noakes conld speak , his Reverence on the bench said he considered himself perfectly satisfied ihfl police had acted very properly : there was ho need to hear any more 3 Noakes , however , would speak ; and having told his tale , concluded by asking- if this was a Christian country ? The reply of the Reverend Magistrate was , " Yes , this is a Christian country , and a couctry
  
  where there are laws , and stringent laws too , and laws that muit- be obeyed J" Mr . Clayton , as a witness of what took place , wished to say a few words . The magistrate thought it was not necessary , the bench had heard sufficient . But Clayton was not to be put down , bo having been sworn , gave his evidence , corroborating the statement of Ncakes , and describing the brutality of the police , when he was cut short by the magistrate telling him he need not take up the time oi the Ckrart , the bench was quite satisfied with the £ i&temenis of the two respectable wUmKes Clha policemen !) The Rsv . Gentleman then told poor Noakes that be had rendered himself liable to a fine of forty shilling ? and costs , he should remit the fine this tirae but he must

  pay the costs . Mr . Harney requested to be allowed to say a few words in behalf of Noakes . Mr . Rayner objected that Mr . Harney was not a witness , and could not be heard as an advocate . The magistrates concurred with this , and Mr / Harney was not allowed to speak . Mr . Rajner oid not wish to press the co 3 ts . Mr . Bagshaw thought the costs might be remitted . Noakes was ihen discharged , and told he might thank Mr . Rayner for escaping the costs M ! [ The above ueeds no comment . Much might be said , but only those 'legitimate conclusions which every hone 3 t man will be able to draw for himself , without the help of our pen . We have one word . Mr . Rayner sayB that it is owing to the repeated complaints of Mr . Woolbouse , that these illegal dungeonings take place , several persona having been hauled off the streets the way Noakes was . Mr . Woolhouse is a grocer—very probably a large number of his customers are working men . " ^ - - — -

  Death from Positive Negligence . —On Wednesday afternoon an inquest was held at the Duchess of York public house , luDgsland-road , before Mr . Buk-er , coroner , on view of the remains cf Eliza Owen , aged fifty years , Who died on Sunday morning . From the evidence it appeared that for some time past the deceased occupied a wretched apartment in a house in Red Lionconrt , Kingslaud-roadj and her habits were so fiithy , and her person so neglected , that latterly few could approach her . On Saturday night , about twelve o'clock , a loud groan ing was heard in her room by a lodger named Mary Wall , and , on the door of her room being forced open , she was found lying ou the floor perfectly naked , with the exception of a piece of dirty cloth
  
  tied round her , aud the whole of her person covered with vermin . The apartmeat in which she was found was one of tho most wretched and filthy that could possibly be conceived ; tha only article in it was an old jng , and the place ; it 3 ' elf was not fit for a dog to rest in . The deceased , when found , was quite insensible , and remained fo until six o ' clock on the following morning , when ehe expired . The parish surgeoa was of opinion that the deceased died from exhaustion , caused by herowa negligence of herself , aud the Jury returned a verdict of * ¦ Natural death . " The deceased , it appeared , had been supported by her friends for some years past , but becoming gradually careless of her person , she ultimately neglected to procure tbe common necessaries of life .
  
  Distress in Notti . ngham . —Yesterday ( Thursday ) upwards of two hundred of the operatives of this torva , who arc in a state of starvation , owing to their inability to obtain work , paraded the streets four deep , soliciting charity . They were headed by a cart , drawn by m « , and several of their body wcnt to the different houses and solicited alma of money or bread . They had a considerable quantity of the latter in the cart . An equal division would afterwards be mads . Really these scenes are agonizing , and ought to rouse oux rulers to something , if it were only to prevent the hard-working classes of England from becoming a Etain to their country as a race of paupers . The greatest distress prevails inBulwell , indeed , its extent has become alarming . A great many are totally unemployed , and many
  
  others have but half work . To enter fully into the depth oi sorrow , to tell the tale of woe , there is no need to call in the aid of eloquence . We need but simply to relate a scene which took place on Tuesday lust . —Thirty-Eix of the unemployed obtained a waggon from Mr . JennkoD , and proceeded to the quarry yards , where they got it filled with lime ; tfiey were then yoked to it like oxen , and started to draw it to Nottingham , Newark , and Grantham . to show the world that their distress was not caused by any unwillingness to labour for an honourable subsistance , and to request pecuniary assistance from those who were iu better circumstances . The sight drew tears from many eyes , and the most bitter reproaches were , almost involuntarily vented aeainst the authors of their calamity . —Nottingham

  Cocbt Mabtiai in the Toweb "—On Wednesday the 1 st battalion of Coldstream Guards , under the command of Colonol Shaw , now stationed in the Toweri were mustered upon parade , to hear the finding and sentence of a regimental Court Martial on Sergeant Sharp , who had been tried for disobedience of orders and neglect of duty .: Th'S proceeding arose out of the case of Mr . Elder , senior clerk of the Ordnance office in fJw ' Tover , who'had been held to bailfor committing an Infamous assault on William Yowel , a private in the regiment , while on duty as a Eentinel at the Jewel office , in the Tower . Elder was given into the custody of Sharp after the alleged assault was committed , bat , instead of taking him to the guard-house , as Sharp ought to
  
  have done as sergeant of the guard , he allowed the accused to go to his own residence , and did not report the occurrence to his officers . The Court Martial found Sharp guilty of the charge of disobedience of orders and neglect of duty ; but , ia consideration of the excellent character he had maintained in the regiment for nineteen years , sentenced him only to be reduced to the ranks . After the sentence was read over , Sharp had the , stripes denoting his rank as sergeant cut from > jis dress , and took bis place in the ranks &S a pt ' . ? ate . Much commiseration is fell for him in f . ne regiment , as his conduct previous to the transaction in question was that of a steady and oare ' ui soldier , and he bad never been reported befpr e for auy breach of military discipline .

  Distress in Ireland . —Spbbad of FEvisR . —Id addition to the prevailing distress and Buffering ; we regret to learn that fever of a malignant' and almost unconquerable nature ra ^ es among the poor population to a fearful extent , and with a rapidity which defies all our attempts to describe in detail . ^ Ue awful visitation has befallen tho . immediate neighbourhood of Lom ' sburgh , and along the westera csast of that district , with a degree of BeVerify quite unexampled . Scarce a day elapsed within the last fortnight that the medical superiateudeht
  
  of the . 'L ' o ' iuBbnrgh Dispensary ; a most zsaious and humane gentleman , did not attead at their residences from six to eight families ; and , in many instances , not less than five of the iumatos required hi 3 professional services and assistance , which were rendered with an alacrity and attmiiye yigfknc ' e highly creditable .

  Homicide . —Starvation . —A fellow named John Conway has been committed to gaol on a Coroner ' s warrant , charged with the homicide of Elizabeth Keenan , of Ballycastle , under the following cfrcurd-Btances : —The unfortunate deceased , it appeared , accompanied by her son , a lad of tender year 3 , went into a field for the purpose of collecting some weeds ; wherewith to appease the pangs of hunger . Haying gathered an avmful , she was returhiiig home , when Conway came across her path , and insisted , in -laa- - guajje at once violent and most determined , that she ahould give up the weeds to him . The woman remonstrated ; A scufBs ensued between them , in the course of which Gonway with brute force knocked her twice down , and whilst in that position inflicted some bruises on her breast , from the effects of which she died a few days afterwards . At an inquest held on her bady , Dr . Nelson deposed that the injuries she had received were the immediate cause of her death . — Ibid .

The child , on -account of her youth , was net sworn , but her father was examined , and his evidence was to tho eifeci that , on tho previous afternoon , she ( ibe child ) was sent out by him to purchase some butter , and that on the way , from the statement
  
  made by hur , she met the prisoner , who gave her a penny , and prevailed upon her to go with him into his room .

Incendiary Fires . —Apprehension and Conviction of the iNCENDuvHipa . —For the ^ last two months conBideraible excitement has existed among the inhabitants , particularly the agriculturists of the quiet market town of Havant , situated oh the south-eastern extremity of Hampshire , in cohsequence of several incendiary fires having taken place , and letters of au inflamrdatoi'y and threatening description having beeuioundia the esreets , the authors of which had escaped detection until Monday last , when another fire was aitempted , which led to a scrutinising and severe inquiry , and the suspected incendiaries , Charles Parrott , arid William Sparkes ( Mr . Charles Longcrofi ' s Servant )
  
  having undbrgono examiuatipn on Wednesday , and corroborative evidence having come forward , they were iully cominiited . Parrott was taken at Jour o ' clock ou Tuesday afternoon , and confined in the cage , but at the time of bis apprehension no suspicion was entertaiaei against Sparkea . The magistrate , Sir John A , Ommanriey , however , havjflg heard that the two were in timate , sent for the latter , to interrogate him as to his knowledge of Parrott ' s movements on the nights of the several fires . _ What answers he made to the questions put to him does not appear , but it is certain that no srispicion attached to him untiL Parrott was sent for from * durance vile' after the examinations had been taken . It was-four o ' clock on Wednesday afternoon before
  
  the inquiry had been completed and before Parrott was confronted with his accusers ; He had , therefore , twenty-four hours ' of solitary r < rfl jctiori , arid the result Bhowsthat he entertaineda correci auticipatioK of what was going forward , for he had no sooner entered the presence of the imagistraie than he at once denounced Sparkes as the perpetrator of the fire at Stevens ' s barn . "Ah . ! ' * said Sparkes , "if I had been taken up first , I would not huve toldiipdn 50 a . " Recrimination ibilowed , and finally both were committed upon each other ' s evidence ,, or rather their own confessions . The investigatipn has called forth some of ihe most extraordinary and unaccountable traits of the human character , it appearson the strictest arid raost severe intetxoga : tion ,
  
  , that neither of these wretches had any motive what * ever for perpetrating these diabolical acts . They were asked , over and over again * Why they ¦ committed the fires ; and their reply was myaria&Jy , " we had uo motive . " And one very axtta < wdiaary feature in the case is , that Sparke * has been a confidential serrant erf Mr .

' ThiB certainly appears a vigorous enforcement of the law , eventothe uttermost extreme of its severity . We recollect , some months ago , that a great outcry was raised , because sentence of death was forttally recorded against a person convicted at King ' s County SesBtona tor kiUJng a 'goat . " hi that case an
  
  old Act oiVFariiament , which happened to escftpe Sir Sariitiel liomilly and all reformers of the sirigninary crirninal coda , allotted death as the punishment for killing a goat ; arid the assistarit ^ barrister of the King ' s County had no alternative but to record the sentfnee , arid make his report to the * Governmerit . But , in regard to the killing of a ram , there is no such antiquated remnant of the Draco system of legislation s and the "fifteen years' transportation " must have been the punishment considered necessary by Mr .

This notice , though intended as a joke , seems likely to become a fearful realtiy , if some revival of trado does riot speedily take place . , The popular tiori of Siockporc , according to the census of June , 1841 , was 50 , 945—less than the previous census by 8 . 000 persons . Accovdiag to the same returns , there
  
  were 10 , 890 dwelling-houses , shops , and toTisruaV ; Jf we go back to June , 1839 , we find there : were theix 1 j 000 dwellings , shops * and public-housss unoccupied . In June , 1840 , the nutnber had increased to 1 , 250 ; in June , 1 M 1 , to 2 . 053 jaridi at the present time , about 3 . 000 . In additiou to this number , there ar © probably as many more occupied for which 110 rent is paid . ; There is one gentleman who has as many cottages as would forin * tolerable village ; batmox » thaa toaif of them are empty , and thetenants 01 tho remainder paying : so little , that the owner a income from the property is riofc sufficient to pay the chief rent . At this moment there are , within two minutes' walk , in the principal street of the boronghv thirty-seven shops unoccupied j and the tenants of fire others are under notice to leave ; TJiefiomberor
  
  shops urioccupied about ten moritbs ago , in the same vicinity , was twenty-four ,, There : are at present , ra the whole boxougb , 149 shops unoccupied ^ and eighteen otheraliave been converted into dwelling . houses within the past two years . There are alao tea public-houses unoccupied . In 1840 , there were about 240 beer-housea in the borough j : the total number now is 104 . There are at present fifteen , cotton millsclosedj the greater part of which have * been closed within the last two years arid a half , by which , and by reductions ia the price of labour , the amount paid ia wages has been diminished about £ 8 , 000 per week i and from 8 , 000 to lO ^ OOO persons have been deprived of employment * . Of these one-half have probably left the town , while the remainder have been supported from the poor a . rates , arid charitable !! contribuWong . —Manchester Guardtom , : ¦ ¦'¦ : ¦¦ : . r ' ¦¦ - : \ .,- \ ¦' : . ; . ¦ . ¦' ¦ . ; . .,: " . ¦¦
