      ARREST OF THE RBY . W . HILL , EDITOB OF THE " STAR , " Leeds Police Office , Friday , Twelve o'clock This TEornics , about a quarter past nine , my rood Friend , Mr . Hill , was arrested in the streets of Leeds , by two officers from Manchester on the authority of a warrant issued by Mr . J . F . Fostek , J . P . and baekedby a Leeds Magistrate . The charge is , as far as I can ascertain

      O c , f « sedition , " arising out of -words spoken e : « oire E : eetiDg- or other , " tending to exite a breach of 'he Peace . " He was on his way to - "¦ e Star-o&ce . when he was pointed out to the Manchester police officers by one of the Leeds oficers . ( who was accompanying them on their 5 .- ^ rch . ) and brought to this place without anv of his friends knowing of the arrest . VTtilc waiting for his presence at the . Star-office , to prepare the second edition of the paper , it ' ¦ , ¦ .

      was inthxated to me by a friend that Mr . Hill had teen seen to enter the Police-office , accomraaic-d by two strangers ; and it was believed * ' at he was in custody . I instantly repaired to tie plfcee where I r . ow write , to ascertain if such was ' tbe feet . After waiting some little time , I shw Mr . Bead , the Chief Constable , and on my Tutting tie question to him , he at once informed rce that the fact was so . I then applied to see Mr . Hill ; when Mr . Read informed me , that he was in the custody of the Manchester offic--ri who alcx-e could STant my request ; and

      trat they were then scmewhere in -the town TTocurini refreshment . " I therefore determined 10 * await " their return , to make the request to them to be permitted to see my friend , before he is removed from this place to Manchester , which I expect he will be in the course of the day ; I L ^ ve " row waited an hcur-and-a-half ; but the c £ ci-rf have net made their appearance . I shall i \; .:: Tzr . tii they do , cud ccmn-unicute the result cf n ; v £ TT-l : cat : cn as seen as I learn it . Jos . Hobson .

      , ' ! TO THE CHARTISTS OF GREAT BRITAIN . '' Bbothee Dehochati . —No man can lay the | charge to me that 1 am fond of faction—it matters '! Hot whether that msn belongs to the Metropolitan . Parliamentary Reform Association , to the Christian _ ' ¦ ChartiEts , to the Complete Suffrage Association , to : the National Association , or to the National Coari ; ter Association , not a single meniber of any one of ; these dare accuse me of beiDg factiouB . Therefore , , I may safely investigate the document issued by ihe Complete SuiFragistsfor convening the Conference on the 27 th December next . Every true Democrat . mu 3 t admit that there is the greatest necessity to '• convene a National Conference , but to make it a ' national one , what is the foundation on which it : ought to be based ? Can it be called national -when

      a faction is to nave half the power at it 1—nay , more than half ihe power ; for , whilst London , Manchester , Birmingham , and the towns of iho greatest importance and most numerous p&pulation , are to be restricted to six representatives , and such very important towns as Nottingham , Leicester , Norwich , &c ., areto be restricted to fonr , the small towns where themillownershave thegreatest power can send two ; thus positively giving a double power to the patriotic electors in the election of representatives . What poor man dare give an untrammelled vote on such an occasion , unless at the hazard of losing his employment , and eventually bringing destruction on

      htmseif and family 1 But to investigate the conduct of the Council of the Complete Suffrage Association with impartiality , it is right that we should take a closer view of its conduce on the cay it met in Birmingham ; it did not allow strangers to be present at its deliberations . Yesterday , a gentleman called on me to inform me that he was ordered out of the room , and that when the report was brought up , when strangers were present on the day afterward ? , it was the intention of the parties to allow the electors the power to elect two delegates to the Conference , for the working men ' s one ; and but for Mr . StephenBon , of Worcester , surh would have been carried .

      If such report be correct Cand I have every reason to believe it is ; if it is not , I hope I shall be set right on the matter , as I should not wish to make any falsa statements , tending to mislead the democratic party ) what conclusion can I possibly come to ? Can any working man—can any real Democrat come to any but the following—namely , that this party are not sincerp . I am not cynic enough to condemn a whole body for the act 3 of one or a few of its members ; but when a deliberative body assumes to itself the power to concoct schemes for the advancement of Democracy , then thr- cublic ought to scrutinize the acts of such men . Wnat I propose to the Council of the complete suffragists is this , that , if they wish to have a bona fide representation of the people , namely , to reconsider their

      address and take such steps as will bring together the whole intelligence , talent , and strength of the popnlar party into one great conference , they will limit the aggregate numbers of the Conferer . ce , say to 6 c 8 ; that they will divide the whole of Ed ^ - land , Scotland , and Walfts , into districts ; that according to the population in each district , delegates shall be elected ; that the people , the whole people , and neither more or less than the people , shall have the power to elect the representatives ; such are the views I entertain on the election of Delegates to the Conference pretended io be National , to be held on December 27 : h , 18 i 2 . If the representation of the whole is not recognised and acted upon , I then in that case enter my most solemn protest against the convening of any such Convention , and denominating it National , and for the following reasons ,

      viz—1 st . That it is false to call it a complete representation . 2 nd . That , if called , it has the appearance of faction . 3 rd . That it would be exactly as just to allow any one sect in religion to have the power to elect a majority to the Conference as to allow the electors to do so ; and what I recommend the people to do . if the Complete Suffragists persevere in their factious opposition to a complete representation of the people , is this—to protest against such injustice . Let not the non-elector 3 make the shadow of an attempt to elect a single delegate to the Conference ; and in every district let the honest electors , who wish to see the people fairly represented , attend the patriotic electors' meetings , and move au

      amendment to their electing delegates to the following effect : — "That this meeting of e'ectors entirely disapprove of ihe one-sided , narrow-minded policy of the Complete Suffrage Council , in convening a Conference to be elected contrary to the true spirit of genuine democracy and real libeity ; and cannot , therefore , for a moment , entertain the idea or at all takiugpartin a Convention scelected . " If ontheother hand the system of convening the conference be abandoned , and that of justice established in its place , then let every hand be at work to assist in eo holy an undertaking ; let the wealth and wisdom of the Metropolitan Parliamentary Reform Association be put into active operation on the occasion ; let the zeal of the Christian Chartists be actively employed to forward Ench an object ; let the energies of the

      Complete Suffrage Association lend its assistance ; let the members of the National Association not lag in the good cause ; and let the whole force of our own great , powerful , numerous , and intelligent association be exercised on such a grand and noble object . To the people , I 6 ay , watch carefully all parties ; adhere to the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter ; and I repeat again , although I am not factious , and hate denunciation , yet every exertion on my part Bhall be made to forward liberty , to establish even-handed justice , and , as far as 1 am able , thwart the designs of those who would make merchandise of the people , and keep up agitation to serve their own sinister ends . 1 have the honour to be , Your brother Democrat , John Campbell .

      MEMORIAL DEHOASTKATION . Wm . Stnbbings , Langton , near Tunbridge Wells 0 5 0 ADDRESS OF THE COAL MINERS OF YORKSHIRE TO ALL CONSUMERS OF COAL . Ladies and Gentlemen , —We , the colliers of Yorkshire , humbly come before you in the hope that you will lend a kind ear to cur distress , and give us that sympathy which we have a tight to expect . We are driven only by want and misery to lay before the impartial reader the enormous injustice under which we have for years been victims and sufferers . We have employed every means in our power to be kindly listened to by our masters ; we have applied to them , but to no purpose . We are , therefore , compelled by them to lay before the public our grievances .

      1 st A reduction of wages to an alarming extent , so that we and our families are perishing for lack of food . 2 nd . A great addition has been made to our day ' s werk , but none to our wages ; ( the reverse ) we have as much coal to get in two days as we had formerly in three . 3 rd- On account of the corves ( or waggons ) beiniR continually enlarged , r . nd our day ' s work increased , we have only two or three days ia the week ; the wages of two or three ttays is not sufficient to maintain us and our families through seven days . 4 th . We are obliged to ¦ worfe ia water and damp places , so that we pet rheumatism and ali sorts of complaints ; and 'we are obliced to ¦ work naked , or nearly so , on account r . f the hard and laborious employment we have to perform .

      5 th . Gettins ? coals by measure and selling them by ¦ weight ; tbis is toe reason vrhy they are continually enlarging the corres ; every new one that is made is larger than ihe old one . When they sold by measure they did not do so ; if they had , Ike public would have got the benefi ;; but now that they pocket it all they are never qniet . etb . Our masters have turned off from their employment some of the delegates whom we chose to represent our grievances to them . The millions in our own country , without taking into account the miiiieus cf foreigners , who sre ; through our labour , warmed every day , from the humblest being in our country to our gracious Queen , are little aware of all the misejy , all the oppression , cruelty , and tyiaany we are sui jected to by our masters . The

      Negroes wtre never reduced to such subjection ; they had only to work a few hours in the open air , whilst we ^ hite men , and , above all , Englishmen , cannot eie the sun some times fvr weeks together except on Sundays , which is worse than any prison in the kingdom , and more injarions to the human system than the solitary cell . We are even worse treated than the greatest criminals in the slave mines of Siberia , for they have plenty of food siven to them ; they can wulk and work erect ; all their niir . os are six feet fciyh ; whilst we are crampsd and crushed into holes sometimes not more tban eighteen or twenty inches high and a yard wide , and are forced to work naktd in those low and narrow holes . When vre enter thu bowels of the earth we eannot say that we shall sea our wives and families again : we cannot run cut of

      the pits to save our lives ; we are forced to crawl on our hands and feet , the distanee we have to go in and out before we can reach the basket that took us down . There is no trade or profession that is bo much exposed to danger aa that of the . collier , and na man stands more in need of educatien and religion than the collier ; for no one is more suddenly snatched out of time into eternity . Unacquainted with the will of God and the laws of man ; ignorant , stupid , and wicked ; as he lives so he- dies , and his blood will be required at your hand . There are societies established for the education of the soldier and sailor , but none for the colliers ; institutions fer the support and education of the children and orphans of the soldier and sailor , is it so with the orphans cf the collier ? We say not . The soldier may get a pension if he is wounded in battle , and be

      entered into an hospital ; the sailor may be rescued from a watery grave ; but the collier is doomed to die without any one taking notice of him . He is more devoted to his country than either the soldier or sailor ; his life is in jeopardy every moment , and strange to say , there is no reward for him ; but even bis master will reduce his wag « -s if he ean . He is doomed to be crushed to death by the recks , to be drowned , to be suffocated by the sulphureous gases , to be burned or scorched alive ; no one can lend a helping hand to rescue him ; no one can sea what is going on in the bottom of the pits . Look only at the numerous accidents which are continually taking place , and yeu will shudder ; your blcod will run cold at tha horrible misery we have to Buffer , for a small pittance , or a piece of bread . AU is not yet told , and were we to

      write nntil this day twelve months , more than one half would remain untold . Look at our children ; who takes care of them ? who gives them the food and education they are entitled to ? where are their schools ? where can they learn the laws of their Creator ? the laws of their country ? and tee love of man ? They are brought up in slavery aud ignorance ; they are worse treated than the children of the negro . Instruction is dtnied them ; they only go to the Sunday school , and even on that day they are so fatigued and tired that they cannot learn any , or even eDJoy themselves . We msy udrt here , the Echool-masters nniversally describe ihe pit boy as alwsys more drowsy and sleepy , aa duller and more stupid at learning , than other boys ; as reading much worse thau they formerly did before they vent into the pits , and yet equally

      willing to learn . ( Commiisioners' Report , p . 175 ; see alse the Times for the month of May last . ) They are doomed to follow their fathers in ihe pita , and crawl where ht cannot . This country can never txpect to see men fit to defend their Queen and country whilst treating them with such barbarity , and seodiEg them to the grave before it has been ordered by providence . It is enr humble opinion , that it is impossible fcr us to bear up much longer undtr the burden which presses so heavily upon ns and our families , and which is fast hastening us to the grave , and which eo exhausts us , that we can scarcely crawl home . Do we there meet with that comfort we are entitled to ? do we there meet with a tabla well stored with gcod and gubs : aaxial food ? or even the commonest Bbcessaries of lift-1 do w « thtra find onr families well fed . End necessary

      raiment to put on ? To all these questions we say no . If this wns * h

      To expect from our masters an increase of wages is out of the question , for we hare tried if . We hope , by the exertion of our representatives i : Parliament , and the public , xra shall be rescued from farther danger , by coming to enr . help and giving us tbat relief ¦ we can get nowhere else , by adding threepence to every ten of ccila yea pay for , for the benefit of the colliers . We have no other resource but that oco left ; and we hope that every cae that has got a British heart , and hates oppression , will come to our reliei By sneh timely help we shall be able to maintain onr families from starvation , and send them to school instead of the pita . We sincerely hope and trust that you will come one and all te onr assistance , and by your support remove the unparalleled distress under which we groan , and ¦ which has been borne with nitexarDpled pstieace and fortitude .

Hearing these things , a stranger would suppose that this was the most enlijjbiened , Christian , prosperous , and happy nation on tha face of the earth . Let us see how such titles will accord with England ' s present state . We have an abuudance of churches aud chapels , and a noble army , Cailed-by-fcbH-Grace-oi-Go * - ! parsons , as instructors , who receive £ 9 , 459 565 for tbeir labours . Then we have

      Sunday schools , charity schools , Lancastrian schools , and national schools , wher < 3 orthodox and loyalty are crammed into the brain or thrashed into the breeches of the rising generation ; without mentioning the heterodox aects , such as Unitarians , Presbyterians , Baptists , Anabaptists Wesleyan MethodiBts , Primitive MetliodistB , aDd Church Methodists ; btsiues Quakers , Junipers , and Shakers , each sect having school : ? for the jjromuigation of its owu doctrines , in which loyalty auti morality are combined .

      ARREST OF T . B . SMITH . Star Office , Fifteen minutes past One . I fcsve just returned from tbe police oSce , having krrned what was the son of " refreshment ' '' the Manchester police cfictrs had gene to procure . They were abii . ni on another arresting expedition ; and have j : s : recaraid vnrh Mr . T . B . Ssiith ia custody , he iz ' -T \ z apprehended on a Eimilar charge , indeed indui-d in the same warrant with Mr . Hill . Mr ' . Smjtj -5 V 2 . 3 taken at his ovrn home , and his hocse was searched by ihe ofiiers , and all papers

      er letters found there removed "ii custody ' also . When Mr . Exad had informed Inspector Tatlob , from 3 , 3 anchester , -who I wa =, I made a formal application to be permitred to see Mr . Kill , be : ore he ¦ svas removed from Leeds ; and he immediateiy replied that my requevt should be granted . I then asked " when V £ * ni his reply was '' Sometime in . the c-. iri ? cf the afternoon . " " Could it be now ' ? was ny next question ; and the answer to it " no ; not jas ; iio ^ v : we have some refreshment to get : bn . ; you shall see him before we Etart . " " Will -you name a time V v * Sometime abou : three o ' clock . I : ' voi will be at ihe Star office ,

      we will send ca for yea . From this converssiic-n , a ~ d especially from the fact of " Tefreihirierit " beirs still wanted by the Manchester men , I infer that they have more-arrests to mate in this town ; sind that they were anxious io get them m 2 . de , and : he prisoners all together , before tney permit any of rhum to be seen by their friends . Ilr . Eili . bis been kept in the " Srone jag" since his arrest . He is not , however , p : u . cod amongst tbe other inmates of the wretched hole used as a prison ; bill is considerately placed in the women ' s ward , ( which happened to be emp ^ y . ) which ho has , ( till iast now that Mr . Smith ha 3 joined him , ) occupied to himself .

      He and Mr . Shith , with any others that may be airest-M , will be removed to Manchester this afternoon , I believe ; and be brought up for examination » -morrow , at the New Baiiey Conrt . I shall go np to Manchester with them , or after them , ftr the pcrpese of procuring bail , &a . I shall also attend the examination to-mcrrow , and communicate the reinh in an edition of the Star , to be published in Lseds to-morrow evening . Josh . Hobsos .

      Northern Star Office , Fridcy , Quarter-pas t Tiro . Ihave just seen Mr . Eill . He was brought to this Office by the Manchester c Seers , accompanied by a Leeds police sergeant . He had been taken to his own residence , I belieTe , and his House searched . When ihe parry arrived here , Iisp ^ ctor Tatlob addressing me , said , that " they had found on Mr . Kill a number of keys which he informed them opened certain drawers and boxes at the Northern Star c-fSee , and that he wished to see what was contained in them . * I immediately answered the application \> y another question : " Have you any authority to come here to search 1 Have yen a search warrant ! Thisplace is nine . Whatever : s htre is in my possession , and unless yon hare authorvy to come here and search , I most as screcly trail not permit such a search to be Eade . In this tffice are a vast number o- papers £ 2 d dccninents of all kir . r . c ; and I shall not consent

      to their being expased to : ae Ea 23 of strangers , nnless there is anihority io compel me . If you have a ¦ warrant , show it , and I will not resist you : if you hive not , no search shall be made here . " Gn this , the Inspector said that " tha locked drawers and boxes here , of which Mr . H . ll had the keys , were his ; and it was those he wished to see . " My answer was , " whatever locked drawers or boxes are in this office , belong to the office ; and Mr . Hill has been entrusted with the keys , because such drapers or boxes are for the reception of those official docuaenis , belonging the office , over which he had charge . Bnt sneh documents sre no more his . than the books belotgint ; the establishment are the property of the Qerk there , ( pointing to Mr . Aedill . i who has the

      charge of thtm . "Whatever is in this o& ; e , or house , is rime . If yon have any authority to search my house , show it , snd go to wcrk . If yon have 13 authority , it- cannoi be done . " He then replied , 'I hava no warrant : and if you object , of course I must retrain . " I I then asked if it was likely they would depart for Manchester this day ; and received for answer it wss possible they might rot . I then asked , if such was the case , conld bail be accepted for Mr . Hill ' s appearance in the morning ; for I should not like that he shon'd have io be kept in the Leeds " Stone Jag" all night ; and the inspector said that he conid not accept bail , and the Msgis ' . rates would be jjone from the ' Conrt . He . however , wonld endeavour to le&Te for Manchester to-night .

      . _ After shaking hands wi : b Mr . Hill , and after hearing from h-. m that the alleged charge against him is for attending and spoking at a meeting in Manchester on ihe 17 th of Augnst last ; he was con-Teyed back xo his quamrs in the " Stone Jng , under a promise , frcm ihe officers , that I should be allowed to see him again before he is taken off to Manchester .

      THE SPECIAL COJ ^ MISSION . ! %£ ( From our own Cbrrtt % mdmt . ) y ^ ^ Stafpobd , Thpbsday . —On next Satnrdijr Mother Monmootfa scene will tte re-BW 8 « 4 ii 6 re . On that day Judges Tindal . and Par | t « , Mp ^ presided at tha Special Commission at Momaotrth in 1839-40 , will , aided by Sir Bobert MoDnsej Rolft , open tbe coaxmission here for the trial of 244 wretched being ? , whoae greatest , if not only , crime i « poverty . The poor fellows even within the wraiisof their dungeon , bear aught but the appsaraacd of men who would

      transgress the laws of their country . Their conduct in prison is landed by thoj ^ oTtrnyr and the visiting magistrates , as exemplary and truly praiseworthy . The most melancholy spectacle is that which presents itself outside of tie gaol , which is surrounded by the sorrowing wives aud children ot the prisonerSj whose haggard countenances and threadworn garmeets indicate suffering , misery , poverty , and rags , beyond description . They may be truly called " a houseless , clotheless , and breadless crowd , " to whom death ought to . be a thousand times more acceptable than life .

      The prosecutors usder the special commission make no concealment of their intention so Tent all their spleen and direct all their power of vindicating the law against suok prisoners as aro acknowledged Chartists . Amongst those who are thus marked out as victims to be made exaujp ! es of , are Thomas Cooper , who is thus described in the calendar "Age 37 ; reads and writes superiorly . Heiscommitced for inciting and persuading a great number of people to assemble and gather together , st ; A riotously and tumukuously cr- at . ng a areat noise and disturbance on the 15 th August , 1842 , at the parish of Stoke-upon-Trent .

" That tha persecutors intend' making o > good harvest of taa affair may be judged of by the tic . that in tomo cases tho briefs for counsel contain fifty sheets . Tte prisoner ? complain much of the usual oourse being deviated from by the appointment oi' -local atsornies to prosecute for . offences-alleged to be committed in their ' peculiar localities ; this , they say , will aft ' ord an opportunity for the indulgence of personal hostile feelings . The prisoners would sooner commit themselves to the tender mercies of

      tho Crown officers , than to be thus subjected to the merciless treatment . of men for whom they entertain lite most natural abhorrence . Nothing so clearly proves the low mbferfngps to which certain local functionaries had renonr-e for committals as a l'ecitai of th 3 charts u'j'ier which many of the priso ' nera stand committed . Upon reading them , tho public will justly 6 X <; Iaim" What ! a Speoial Commission to try sunh offences , which could be better punished summarily by the magistrate , than left to be disposed of by ji Sp . oial Commission , atan enormous expence to the country !" The charges alluded to are as follows : —Joseph Broster , for stealing four and sixpence ; H . inry Howard , stealing a book ; -George bnaw , stealing a shirt , ' Edward Adams , demanding the sum of sixpence ; William Prince , stealing one tame rabbit ; Williams Napper , John Hulme , Smith Child , Wm .

      Plant , Thomas Adams , and David Parkes , demanding thosum ot one shilling ; Samuel Lockett , demanding the sum of sixpence ; John Hall , demanding tha aum of sixpence ; Jamea Weoley , demanding tho sum of sixpence ; .-ml ELz-iueth Uryan , Btealing one picture frame . Ivovv , if those ofL-aces wera brought before ona of our Metropolitan Magistrates , he would either dismiss the charge , or , at most , taking the circumstances into consideration , would sond the accused for a week or a fortnight to prison . Exclusive of the prisoners thus committed for the Special Commission , there are 18 i ) t , o be . tried at the Sessions , the enormity of whose offences may be judged of . by the sample given of uia commitments lor ihe Commission . It is pretfy oiear i > y the classification . of the prisoners by Mr . Brutton , the governor of the gaol , that they are not the uneducated get which it is so much the object of the Whigs and Tories to represent them as boin ^ . The ub joined is the classification returned by the

      governor , VjZ .: — Prisoners who can read and write superiorly 1 Ditto , read and write well ... ... ... 27 Disto , read ai ' . d write imperfectly ... ... . 50 Ditto , reaa well ¦ ... .. ... ... 5 Ditto , read imperfectly 73 Ditto , who can neisher read or write ... 59 Ditto , od bail ... ... 25 Total , 240 Here is a " damning lie" to those calumniators of the working classes who designate them as an ignorant , brutal , aud lawless body , whoso sole obj ; ct it is to destroy life and praparty .

      The Judges will mer-. ly open the court on Saturday , pro forma ; for that occasion the only persons fuoamoued , are tho justices of the peace , mayors , coroners , escheators , stewards , and alao all chief constables , and bailiffs . On Suniiay , the Judges will attend Diyine Ssrvice , in Curisi ' s Church , when , the Ilev . Mr . E . Coldwall , recto-, will preach . It is to be hoped that ins sermon w ; ii savour more of mercy , than what characterised ihe discourse of the Kev . CJ orgy man who preached before the Judged at the Momiiouth Special Commission . On Monday , the Grand Jury will bo sworn at ton , o ' clock , a . m ., precisely , when the Petit Jury , prosecutors , and witnesses , are bouud to attend . Tha Solicitor-General , Mr . Sergeant Talfourd , and Sergeant Ludlow , Mr . Godson , Mr . Wh&tely , aud Mr , Waddiiigton , will conduce the prosecution .

      After the first day , or at least after two or three convictions , three courts will be opened , in each of which a Judge will preside . This regulation will expedite the business . It is calculated that not more than 180 prisoners will be tried , and that the rest will be liboratcd oa their recognizances to appear when called upon . Four more prisoners are expected here from J ? uralem charged wiili being principals in tbe demolition and burniiig of the Rev . Mr . Vates" house and property , on tho 15 th of August .

      EXTRI ^ RDINABY HUNT FOB . £ 100 . OF

      FERED BYTHESPYMASTERS OF THE SECRET SERVICE MONEY . On Thursday morning week the villago of Bacup wa 3 the scene of a laughable farce , owing to a worthy eon of Escalpins , who sleeps with his eyes open , makiDg it known to the powers that be , that a notorious Fox bad stayed in Bacup all night ; accordingly the bloodhounds W 3 ri . laid onthe scont , and amongst them were tho following noted dogs : — Harry Fourhole , a particular favourite , who ran for , and carried off the OddFellowi' Stakes , amounting to £ 40 . '•¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦' . Sergeant Numskull , a devil for having a good nose , and keeping his wife out of the poorhouso . Nelfather , a Newfoundland dog , just imported , ¦ who lias given up an honourable and iucsative iraiio to run in the pack .

      Pecer Simple , a dog nearly allied to the pov 7 crb that bs , and a sure destroyer cf young woman ' s happiness , as there will soon bp . as many bastards of his us will make a pack of his own ; and Blenkeountry , a dog who is trying to signalize himself , but has not brains sufficient , not being a licensed dog a 3 yet , but it is hoped he soon will be ; besides a many others . After doubling , &c , they at last came to view ; but here another obstacle ) prosented itself—who was to take him ? One said , he has teeth ; another , claws ; a third , he carries pockets ; a fourth said the oldest in the service should have the honour of tho death ; the eldest said the youngest should show his bravery . However , in this state of things they passed and re-passed their prey on tha roadi none of them daring to look on it , and had it not been for two sheep dogs , in tho shape of two carters , which they charged to help , the pxiz ° would have remained untouched .

      But oh , what will tne world say , when it is maae known that tho consternation of the pack was bordering on despair , wken they were informed very civilly tbat thoy wurenot hunting Dr . M'Donall , but that the person whom they were kindly pleased to escort on tho road was no other than Mr . William Bee&iey , of Acoviugtoii j en route to Todmorden , to attend a Chartist meeting , to which place he very kindly invited them ? Ha . ! ha ! ha ! Bacup dog j have jrood noses ! What will you take for your piss , Tom ?
