      Fatal Accident at Wisan . —A fatal accident occurred on Monday morning last at the factory of Messrs . Eckersley and Sons , Wigan , to a young mechanic named Thomas Bramley , aged 23 . The deceased , we are informed , was examining a glatter ( ah instrument for polishing iron , &c ., ) which had been recently ereoted ; and whilst doing so , the segment of the glszer , which at tbe time was making about 700 revolutions per minute , burst asunder with tremendous force , catching tbe deceased about the face , first throwing him to the top and then to the opposite part of the room with inconceivable violence , whereby the poor fellow ' s bead was almost separated from his body . He survived the event but a few minutes .

      Liverpool Assi 2 ES . —At these assizes , on Monday last , before Lord Denman , a young woman , named Elizibeth Russell , was charged with the wilful murder of her illegitimate child . The body of the child was found in the privy . The Jury returned » verdict of " not guilty of murder , bat gmltj of having concealed the birth of the child under aggravated circumstances . " On the Bame day , Francis Bradley , an Irishman , was charged with the wilful murder of ius wife , at Manchester , by administering arsenic . The prisoner and his wife occupied a room in the

      hous « of John Lee , in Goolding-itreet , Manchester , for about twelve mouths previous to the occurrence ; and about twelve o ' clock in the nigbt of the 19 ih of March , the deceased being in a ood health and spirits , the prisoner administered to her a powder in some beer—she drank it—and in about half an hour became ill ; vomiting , purging , and other symptoms ensued , and she continued to get worse until the Wednesday following , when she died at Infirmary . The Jury found the prisoner guilty , and he was sentenced to be hanged .

      Murdeb in LivKsrooi . —On Saturday last , an inquisition was taken before the deputy coroner , on view of the body of Catherine Carney , aged 34 . Four witnesses were examined , but the evidence of Superintendent Leverett and the house surgeon at the Infirmary , will give all the material circumstances of the case . The former gentleman stated , that on Monday week , he went , by direction of the Commissioner of Police , to the Infirmary , to see the deceased . She declared her impression that she could not recoter . She toid witness , in the presence of Mr . Brandreth , that at five o ' clock on the morning of the 5 th of July , she was in the street , not far from St . James ' s Church , when two men accosted her , laid their hands on her shoulders , and called her an Irish b— -. They went away , but returned shortly after , and knocked her down , beat and kicked her violently

      while she lay on the ground , saying , "Weil flnioh yon , you old Orange b- — . " She called loudly for a police-officer , and at length one came to her , but she could remember nothing further . She did not know the two men , and could not tell whether they were English or Irish . She said she belonged to the parish of Donegal , in Ireland . Mr . Thomas Brandreth , house surgeon at the Infirmary , stated , that on the 14 th of Ju . y , the deceased was brought iu . She was extremely feeble from loss of blood . He examined her , and found that she had a lacerated wound , about two inches long , in a delicate part of her person . The wound sloughed , and mortification ensued , which ended in death . The wound had , probably , been occasioned by a kick . The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons unknown .

      - Darikg Bpsglaky at Mtebscough . —About halfpast one o clock on Tuesday morning last , at the hou » e of Mr . John Wilding , yeoman , of Myerscough , on the bank of the Lancaster Canal , near this town , a loud crash was heard below stairg , by the housekeeper , wh » immediately called her master and his brother , those being the only inmates , except a youth , her master ' s son . On going down stairs they were met by three men . armed with bludgeons , by whom the two Wildings were instantly knocked down and terribly beaten . Two of the gang then seized tbe housekeeper , and insisted on being shown wi . ere the money and valuables were kept , but refused to have any light ; the other man keeping gnard over J . Wilding and his brother below . After purloining the drawers , &c . in two rooms , the villains demanded the housekeeper ' s purse also . She led them to her bed room , and taking her pun e

      out of a box , held it up towards the window before them ; both men seeing it made a snatch to secure theprizs . in doing which , they for a moment let go their hold ^ of her , when she slipped away down stairs , and ran naked to the house of Mr . Threlf&ll , the High Constable , nearly a quarter of a mile off , to procure assistance , Mr . Threlfall and one of his men were in a few minutes in the midst of the affray which followed , and which ended in the capture oi the thieves on the spot . The whole of the men are supposed to belong to a most desperate gang , who have committed many daring outrages in this neighbourhood lately , and to whom looks and bolts are of no avail . Themen engaged in thisrobbery were armed with bludgeons—two of them formed of a cart shaft broken in two . Their names are James Ray , John Baldwin , and Thomas Crook . They were all residents in Preston . —Preston Chronicle of Saturday .

      Lady Hewlei ' s Chabitt—On Friday , the House of Lords gave their fiual judgment on the much-lit'gated case of Lady Hewley ' s Charities . Lady Hewley , a zealous and charitable Presby terian , by her will of 1704 , and a subsequent deed of 1707 , appropriated a large snm of money ( now , we believe , yielding nearly £ 3 , 0 § 0 a-year ) to certain charitable uses , of which tbe principal were— "To assist poor and godly preachers for the time being of Chiist ' s Holy Gospel . —To assist poor and godly widows of the same description of persons . —To encourage and promote the preaching of Christ ' s Hely Gospel in poor dibtricts and places . —To assist in the education of yonng persons intended for the ministry of Christ ' s Holy Go 3 pel . —To assist poor and godly

      persons in distress . " And particularly to found an alinshouse for the maintenance of ten poor personB , conditioning— "That every alms-body be one that can repeat by heart the Lord ' s Prayer , Creed , Ten Commandments , and Mr . Edward Bowie ' s Catechmn . — That the ahD 3-people duly repair to some religions assembly of the Piotestant religion . " And for the dus execution of these purposes she appointed seven Presbyterian friends trustees . Lady Hewley did not , however , appropriate her request to any body or succession of men to follow their fate or opinions , bat merely directed that it Ehould be applied to the assistance of ' * godly , " which seems to have been hitherto assumed to be e < jaivaleat to" dissenting " pr ^ chers of the gospel ; and on the poorer objec ts of her charity she has , in effect , imposed

      subscription to the catechism drawn up by Mr . Bowles , a personal friend of her own in her earlier life . The case has been twice before tried ; judgment was given both , by the Vice-Chancellor and Lord Lyndhurst in favour of the Independent claim , which has now been affirmed on appeal by tha House of Lords , with the sanction of Lords Cottenham and Brougham , and the authority of six out of seven Judges to whom the questions had been referred ; the exceptioa being Mr . Justice Maule , and the grounds of their decision being principally , ihat Unitarians did not exist as a body at the time the gift was conferred ; that they would not at that or any previous time have been considered by tbe Church or Dis ' " senters to be preachers of the "Holy Gospel of Christ . "

      Suspected Mcedkb and Parricide . —A most revolting and atrocious case of parricide or homicide took place late on Saturday night , within threemiles of this city . It appears that a family of three individuals—namely , James Patersoa , carter at Hailea Quarry , Robert Paterson , his son , and Janet Paterson , the wife of James , aud mother of Robert , left JSdinbargh for their home about eleven o ' clock , and that they were , particularly the female , considerably intoxicated . When near Slateford toil , the female , it appears , had been either unable to proceed , or some quarrel had ensued among them ; bat it is stated by one or more persons who came up to them , that Robert Paterson , the son , dragged his mother for some distance along the road , kicking her

      repeatedly with his feet , and using language in reference to her which we should be afraid to repeat . The father , it appears , was a passive spectator of this brutal and unnatural conduct . Two men , who had come up to the party , found the woman lying dead , and assisted to convey her to the toll-house . They afterwards returned to Edinburgh , and gave information to the police , when some officers were despatched , who took the two male Patersons into custody at their house , both seemingly unconscious of , or indifferent about , the dreadful event . Mr . Tait , surgeon of police , went out to Hailes about four o ' clock yesterday morning , examined the body of the deceased , and gave a summary report . The case is now undergoing judicial investigation . —Caledonian Mercury ,

      THE STAFFORD VICTIMS . TO THE CHARTISTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM . Brother Chartists , —We the Delegates publicly appointed by our respective localities , to see to the eating and drinking business of the victims in Stafford Gaol , and also their wires and families , beg to inform you that the Victims' Fund Ib in a very low state , so much so , that we have been obliged to relinquish budport or tbe -victims , and their families receive a poor miserable pittance . Brethren , it ia for you to say whether the victims , with their wives and families should pine in want and misery . Remember their sufferings for our . cause ' , and the district from whence they are taken la unable to lend much assistance , as the neighbourhood is composed almost exclusively of colliers who are on strikeso , 000 of them having left the district to subsist . . upon casual charity .

      Brethren , the Star has recommended 6 d . from each locality , which sum would give the victims something te eat , and place their families in comparative comfort . Brethren , the victims have a claim upon you ; will you respond ? Were you placed in their condition , would you not thinks it hard to be left to starve ? How lonjjyou may be at liberty God only knows . AROUSE then , AROUSE ! AWAKE to ENERGY ! and let tbe captives are that you have hearts to feel and sympathise with those who are suffering for our emancipation .

      Instant relief is requisite . The authorities at Stafford will not allow any food brought for tbe victims unless we can support them altogether . Will you then allow Mason and hia brave comrades to starve upon bread and water ? We anticipate that you will respond , and that , immediately . Signed by order of the Delegates , A . FussELLj Chairman . P . S . All monies to be sent to Mr . Cook , Dadley .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir . —I write to inform you that all round the villages and places in and about Wolverhatnpton is quiet , though we have got fresh reinforcements of military . The colliers are suffering mach ; they are very quiet and very orderly . Several colliers have passed thjougb guarded by dragoons from Brierly Hill and Dudley way . ¦ - - .. ¦ ' ' . ¦'' ¦; " ¦ -, , ¦ : : Coal is very scarce and dear , £ l to , £ 1 4 s . per ton . Oar brave colliers will yet triumph , and ere tea days ahnTl have passed , the men will have their four shillings . Tee magistrates have ( stopped them from begging , but a great many have gone out to harvest work , and they are drawing the money oat of their clubs and helping each other as much aa possible . Lianey is doing well and working hard at Bilston and its localities ; but be labonrs too much for his health . The insertion of the following by the request of the Wolverhampton Council and friends will greatly oblige -.

      —" It is with regret that we inform our Chartist friends that > lr . H . Candy , who , since his return to VVolverhamptoQ , which , is nearly four months , bias zealous ); persevered in the cause , and nigbt after night , after the labour and toil of his work , he has delivered lectures on each Sunday , generally three times . Since pool Masou's incarceration , he has laboured more ardently . His meetings of late have been from four to six thousand people , and at times more . He has been mainly instrumental in preserving the peace of the tewn of Wolverhampton ; the colliers will almost do anything for him . What ' s the result ? that some of the moat influential shop , keepers are using me&uBto get his employer to discharge him ; and from his great exertions—baviug delivered upwards of sixty lectures—b « is now unfit for work , for he is suffering severely from a violent vomiting oiblood ; which at first was thought the rupture of a vessel . ~ It has produced fever and infUmation of the lungs . He iB required to take great care .

      " Now Candy belongs to no club ; his wife has been lying ill in the Potteries , little chance , if ever she recovers ; and we bzliere a more bonest or straightforward Cnartist cannot be be found . Four years and better he has been battling in the cause of freedom . " W > wish you to make an appeal in Ms behalf , tot if he goes to a bsBtile it will break his neart , therefore we sincerely hope every true Chartist will contribute a » ite , so that we may get him round again . We believe he gave satisfaction while in the Yorkshire and other districts , therefore , dear Sir , we trust you will do you * best . Youtb , respectfully , J . Wilcox , Secretary .

      TO THE CHARTISTS Of LEEDS , SHEFFIELD , BARSSLEY , AND THE WSST RIDIKO GENERALLY . Bhoiuers , —It is with much reluctance that I again bavt ; to address you upon the monetary matters « f the West Riding . Yet a sense of duty , as the Secretary , urges me to call upon those towns which have not yet paid their quota towards discharging the debts iucurrcd by the late West Riding election , to do so immeUiately . .

      It is a most shameful blot upon the West Riding , that working men who have advanced money for tbe support of our glorious cause , should loss the same . It is only necessary that every town pay their equal share , and then justice will be done to all and every one . ¦¦ = ... Hoping that this will be the means of effecting the desired end , I remain , Yours most sincerely , Edw . Clayton , Sec ? Hnddersfield , August 8 th , 1842 .

      NOTTINGHAW -THE pMINATiONY Thursday , the 4 th of August , 1842 , will be a day for ever remembered byall parties in Nottingham ; The parties oh both sides were early at work , but ; the thrashing of Tuesday night put all hopes of success from violence out of the mind of the Tories . ; ' ¦¦ :- '¦ ' ' ¦ ' ¦ )¦ ¦ . ¦' .

Sturge , mustered at his committee room , and after entering into the necessary arrangements , marched in long procession to the Exchange ; the place appointed for the nomination , and in their passage were loudly cheered . The place allotted to M * . Walier and his backers , was but thinly occupied , and the great portion was at the disposal of the friends of Mr . Sturge , but was hevertheUss found inadequate ^ or their accommodation . : ^

      At ten o ' clock the spacious hall was opened , when a tremendous rush was made , and the whole speedily filled with the sons of labour . After the preliminaries were gone through , Mr ; Hardwicke rose to propose Mr , Walter , and was received with a volley of groans . He did his work briefly , having a poor subject to dilate upon . lylir . CHAatTON ; his former colleague , seconded the nomination in rather a better ^ speech . : The veteran Mr . Bean , who has always endeavoured to push the stand-siill Whigs forvvard , nominated Mr . S : Urge , in a brave and pithy epeecbj and ¦ ' . ' : ' . ' ' . ¦ '¦ ¦¦• ' ' - . - " . ' .: ' - ¦ ..

      JMr . Sweet nominated , and Mr . Roberts , tailor , ( an Irishman ) seconded Mr . O'Connor . Mr . Smith Fowler nominatad , and Mr . Minnett seconded Mr . Vinrent . ¦ ¦< Mxt VValter was the first to present himself as a candidate , and was received in breathless silence ; in fact , nothing could surpass the excellent and quiet demeanour of the people ; his position bein ^ altered , he spoke hesitatingly and without effect , aad in conclusion , read an extract from a speech of Coroner W * akley in aid of his pretensions ; but all would not do ; he retired amid groans indesoribable . When his opponeat— Mr . Sturgepresented himself to the people , the scene was different . Never was there heard a more unanimous burst of enthusiastic applause : The Honourable

      Member ( for he is now M . P . for Nottingham , ) spoke at considerable length ; and with : great force and effect . He analysed every point of the Charter , point by point , ooWy standing iip For one and all ; and when he came to the question of Annual Parliamente , he said , " I ain filled with astonishment at the weakness of . the middling classes , who would make a question of a fewmonths a hone of . eon ? , tentibn between thorn aad tha people , for all admit the necessity of change ; he declared himself for a separation of Church and State , for the disbanding of army and Davy , for the > proper application of the funded property , and for the whole Charter . He cut slyly , but deeply , into .-the- ; policy of Walter , and the misrepresentations of the Times , and concluded an admirable address amid thunders of applause . ' ¦ ' - . ' . - ' ¦ ' : ¦ - . ...

      Mr , O'Connor next presented himself , and was hailed with cheering and waving of hats , that made the building ling a £ ain . He spoke at considerable length , but as to disjuint his splendid address woiild be to destroy it , and as it is late in the week , I reserve a verbatim report for your next week ' s number ; suffice it to say , that it was admitted by all parties , Whig , Toty , and Charlist , to be the most effective and powerful appeal ever made upon any BJmilar occasion ; the cheering , laughing , and applause was incessant , and the hall trembled again , when in contrasting his position with that of Mr . Walter , he said , W ha-t do I contend for I equal rights ; What do you live upon 1 the advertisemen ts of wet uursea ; dry nurses , scullionf , lackeys , footmen and chambermaids ,: and cooks out of place . ';

      and agairri towards the closohe said , no doubt the Hon . Candidate would wish to know his fate ; if he shows mo his hand I will tell him his fortune ; what not the palm , then I will divine it from the fullness of those starting veins on the back of his hand . ( Immediate laughter followed this , but the most thrilling effect was produced by Mr . O'Connor ' s retort upon the charge of physical force . ) What , Baid he , poimiug his finger where it was said Mr . Stephens was cooped among the Tory crew , you talk of physical force , you who have beenobliged to import the advocate of six iuches of cold steel and six ounces of cold lead ! There ' s a coalition of moral power and physical force ! Mr . O'Connor concluded amidst thunders of applause , when- . '¦ ¦ ' ., ¦ ¦ ¦ . ¦ - ' ¦ . : ¦ .. - ¦ :- . ' ¦ ¦ ¦• - ¦ ¦ : . ' ¦ " ¦ ¦ - -:.: ¦ :

      Mr . Vincent presented himself , and spoke at considerable lengtii and with great effect , and Upon the show of hands being taken , one of the most extraordiiJary scenes ever : wittiessed was : presented , not a singlesolitary hand in the body of the Hall was raised for Mr . Walter , and when a . show was demanded for Sturge every single hand , without exception wasi proudly raised on high . About thirty varied coloured gloves were held up for Walter , and about four thousand ( each having held up both ) were raised for Sturge , which was followed by deafening and Jong-continued cheering ; Nothing could equal the brave and magnanimous conduct of the Chartists , while the Tories looked chopfallen and : woe begone . -

      Mri Sturge and his party then left the . Exchange , and Mr . Sturge addressed a vast multitude in the MarketPlace as member for ¦ Nottingham . Now , I must return to last night ' s proceeding . A grand demonstration was held in the Market Place , and a demonstration in truth it was . A number of delegates attended from Birmingham , Doncaster ^ and o ther plaees , to present ^ ddTesseB from vatious bodies of electors and dissenting bodies t 0 Mr . Sturge and the electors of Nottingham . Several speakers addressed the meeting , after which Mi . O'Connor and the Chartists formed a grand procession , and paraded the town to a late hour . No lambs are now

      to he seen ; the town is wholly in possession of the Chartists , and , consequently , peace is preserved . Mr . O'Connor and Alderman Frearson are to be tried on Saturday , and thirty-six wounded men have already sworn that Mr . O'Connor wounded one and all . I have not time to give you further particulars at present , than merely to say : that I shall send you the result of the contest to-morrow , in time for your third edition . The Ghartists will have gained the victory if it is gained , of which there now appears but little doubt . I send you acopy of the proceedings before the magistrates , as represented in a Tory Bill , which will enlighten your readers . To-night ^ then , is to be & grand gathering , at which all the Chartist leaders will speak , and then all remain up until the election is oyof .

      The bill which our correspondent baB sent us is too long for insertion , nor is it . even worth while to trouble our readers with the whole of its , contents . The facts sworn to by the veracious Tories are comprised in a nut-shell , and are to the : effect that Joseph Frearson and Feargus O'Connor had committed a riot and affray in the Market-place , on which warrants were applied for to apprehend them ; that Frearson ; in order to- encoiirage said . riot and affray , shouted " Why do you not go to work , my lads , and take the waggon from them i" that O'Connor , on said shout , jumped from the : waggon , on which he had been standing , amongst the mob , knocked eeveral people down , . and kicked them

      in a most violent manner : while they were down ; and that , after all this he ( O'Connor ) took possession Of the Tory waggon . The witnesses all declare ! that they did nothing at all to cause any riot or affray , and laid all the blame on the Chartists . One man , a Mr . Hannay , swore that O'Connor had torn his coat off his back , whilst he was standing as a mere spectator . The crowaing complaint , however , was made by a Joseph Poole , who declared that O'Connor not only knocked him dovfn for nothing , but stole his cap into the bargain , which he (^ nor ) had worn the whole evening after . Of course , the warrants were granted , and Saturday at noon , was appointed as the time of hearing .

      from Canada consist of 23 , 227 barrels of Floor ; but those from Ireland or coastwise are unimportant . —The attendance at our .
