      John Appleby , -which was discovered by one of the ¦ workmen , who immediately gave the alarm , and some of the neighbours were on the spot in a very rfiort time . Every exertion was used to quench the names , and a messenger was despatched to Leeds for the fire engines , but we are happy to state that before they arrived , the fire was nearly subdued . We understand the fire originated in the willow house . The damage is not serious ; great praise , howe ver , is due to those persons who rendered their assistance , otherwise the whole building would doubtless have been destroyed .

      Assacli . —On Monday , Charles Kitson and Elizabeth Boyes were brought up at the Court House , by warrant , charged with an aggravated assault on Robert Pickerscill , a mason employed in the erection of the railway depot in Hnnslet Lane . It came out in evidence , that the complainant had formerly cohabited with the female prisoner , but she had latterly transferred her affections and her person to Kiteon , for which , at times , she had received ill nsage at Pickersgill ' s hands , and thiB led

      to the assault complained of . Pickersgill admitted that he had been twice married to women who were still living , both of whom , also , had husbands at the time : he had been apprehended for bigamy , and had undergone a sentence of twelve months' " imprisonment in YoxkCastie for that offence . Since his separation from Boyes he has repeatedly placed her life in danger , and this , in the first place , led to the aBsatth complained of . Theparties were fined 20 s . each and costs .

Mr .

PitkethlT th ^ rh ;

      man . ( The Doctor in his letter charged this poor man with imposition . ) The Whigs carried by a majority that Mr . Crowther was justified , and not guilty of neglect ; thus the salaried pauper was Id lowed to get dear without a hearing . There is no chance for poverty ; in fact , poverty is a crime oMe deepeetdye . Mr . Crowther came Is just at thetime when he explained , and it was elicited from him that it was many hours between the call and his visit , which clearly proved that great danger and inconvenience arose from the poor having to eo a , ° Ar * W i " 1 order , from » rdi ^ ni officer , and then to travel many miles for a doctor ; ind then a long time intervened before he attended , so that death might ensue in the interval . It was then argued that , if it were not so , they would be

      con-£ S 3 tW 5 ? impoiWoi l : ^• P ' ^ otbersintended that this was another of the strongest proofs tnat the new scheme could not be carried out that it was a very general opinion we should soon ' be glad to return to the good old plan of relief in our town-^ l ? - * & . Jo 8 e P ^ ey then 8 » Te notice of a motion -That on that day week the relieving officer should be called before the Board , for the purpose of being examined respecting the case of Wm . Sykes with a view to ascertain whether the case , aspubiS , w tV S ^ w ?"" 1 ° eWBPa P « > be true or false , and that the Clerk be ordered to prepare a series of questions to be put to the officer , calculat ed to elicit the facts of the case . Also that Dean , the mut . ** .

      or the Aldmondbury workhouse , be called before the Board for examination , respecting a case of cruelty in the said workhouse , as also reported in the Cham-PK >»; that the Clerk prepare for his examination , and that the examination , along with the newspaper containing the charges , be transmitted to the Commissioners . " Mr . P . then brought forward a motion respecting the collector for South Crossland , calling upon him to show cause why he should not be discharged , or hia salary reduced to £ 5 , another person having -offered to do it for the said amount with security . Mr . P . said that a general feeliDg of discontent existed on the Bubject of the collectors in sereral ot the townships , and notices had and were

      to be given on the subject , that the ratepayers wished to have resident ratepaying officers , as collectors , as they were willing to do it at less expense and more efficiently than any stranger could do . The general opinion was that as the rates were devoured by placemen and pensioners , and we had gone bo far in arrears with the treasurer and was likely to become worse , it behoved the board to look strictly into the expenditure , and , if possible , to give the lie to statements . so current , viz ., that the rates were not applied to the relief of the poor , but had been paid away to favourites in extravagant prices . The Whig bastilers were a majority , and Oldfield , the present collector , with three times the amount of wages , is evidently suited to do their dirty workno matter

      , for the expense , that is secondary , although the general opinion by the board is that the rates cannot be raised . They would ( saints as they are ) shake the Devil s paw to put the screwgut system into operation . Mr . Whitworth , one of the Guardians for Huddersfield , who was taking notes at the time , asked a question regarding the state of the accounts . The Clerk abruptly said , if he was reporting , he would not answer such a question ! Mr . Whit worth demanded it , and was answered that the book was at the bank . ' Mr . P . rose and expressed hiB astonishment and indignation at such a remark and reply , and asked whether the Guardians , the representatives of their constituentswere to submit to

      , such an indignity from their Clerk . If such was to be the case , it was high time for them to return to those who elected them , and explain their true position and give back the trust reposed in them . if Reporting , forsooth , " said Mr . P ., " the bare thought of publishing makes you tremble , so disgraceful are your proceedings ; if such is to be continued , I shall alsoTeport and publish it all over England . " It was not to be borne that one week they were to be told they might as well ask for the communications betwixt him and his wife as those between the Clerk and the Commissioners . He concluded by stating that it would be a disgrace for us to succumb—to be judged by our paid Clerk ; that he should corresnond with

      * ny men or set of men , without our orders , and he denied the production of such correspondence . It was , in fact , conver ting his offioe into that of a spy and from a servant to that of an arrogant master . Au inquiry into the accounts appear to startle them . ' Wfiat aufberthe matter ! gprifiy-MBigr Wenttiar , and on some of the ^ pifieekte siatuM that thnhad been bandied about from or relievfcg-officer to another , and not being able to t relief , after hearing several cases , it was peremptorily ordered by the Beard that every-person requiring- relief Bhould receive it from the officers of the town in which they reside , and that they should so continue to receive it , until their settlement is fixed , by the said township or the committee which was appointed , vix . : — H . Brook . Jos . Sykes , R , Wrielev , J . Brures . and

      Littlewood . The relieving officers were given to understand they -were not to continue to band abont ana insult the poor old people with impunity . Dean , the master of the Almondbury Workhouse , is ordered to appear before the board next Friday , for unwarrantably interfering with persons who went to Almondbury to meet the relieving officer , and sending them away to seek their settlement before the reUeving-offieer arrived . Some of the other officers were censured for neglecting their duty , and that all the relieving-officers were ordered to attend at the Bo&rd-N > &iB , every Friday morning , at nine o ' clock , with their accounts . The case of a poor woman who had been buried from ihe Workhouse at Lepton . without burial dress , was discussed , and it was stated it was done because the Guardians and the Auditors would not allow such items .

      Mcbdkb . —We have this week to record one of the most atrocious cases of murder which has been committed in this neighbourhood for some time . On Tuesday afternoon , a person of the name of Alexander M'Glaskell Smith , a gardener , from Stirling , in Scotland , lately employed in the neighbourhood of Halifax , came to Mr . Wm . Lenard , a marketgardener , and asked the prioe of a shrub or plant . An altercation took place between them ; and at length one of the police officers interfered , and took Smith to the lock-up . Abont six o ' elock , three oi the officers attended to search the prisoner . He was making some noise in his cell ; and when Dukes , the head of the police , opened the door , the prisoner

      drev his knife , and commenced an attack upon the officers . He first attacked Dukes , and inflicted several deep wounds upon his person , which brought him to the ground . The other two otficersattempted to rescue the unfortunate man , and also received several very dangerous wounds . At length the knife was knocked from his hand , assistance came , and he was secured . Dukes died in about twentyfive minutes after ; and Dawson , another officer , was removed to the Infirmary , where he now lies in a very precarious situation . An inquest was held on Wednesday morning at the George Hotd , before Mr .

      Dyson and a respectable jury , when Dalton , the other poliee officer , who was present , and Mr . Wrigby , tBMeon , were examined-at some length . Dawson not being in * state fit to appear , the evidence was thought sufficient , and the jury unanimously returned a verdict of " Wilful murder . " Daring the time vhe investigation was going on , Smith appeared quite composed , and when the Coroner asked if he wished to say anything , warning him to be cautious , he said , "Are yoa Battened with what yon have gotten ! " The Coroner replied "Perfectly . " 4 then , " said he , " be doing . The prisoner tra& removed in a chaise to York under the Coroner " b

      warrant in about an hour afterwards . Bread ob Wokk . —A letter from Coventry , signed "A Sincere Reformer , " appeared in the Star of last week , and following np the advice there given , it is intended that every man , woman , and child in the district shall meet every morning at nine o ' clock , at the Back Green , Huddersfield , and there apply every day at twelve o ' clock for bread or work . There is plenty in the land , and the industrious must have their share . Those who are out of work , and who will not torn out and make aa effort , are a disgrace to themselves , and unworthy of support . A commit tee of management will be appointed .

      BARNSLET . A Returned Patriot . —Last week , one of the men , named Francis Mirfin , who was transported from this town for the turn-out of 1829 , returned home after an absence of ten years . His crime ( if crime it could be called ) was the raising his voice and protesting against the despoilers of his country , who were then endeavouring to reduce the hardworking anizans of England to the utmost state of degradation and servility , which is now in a measure accomplished , much to his mortification and chagrin , now that he is returned . However , his friends , as a testimony of respect , intend giving him a public dinner on Whit-Tuesday , at Mr . Smith ' s , the Duke of York Inn .

      Sugar-Crusher Billy again . —a weaver , from Dodwortb , summoned Mr . Taylor , manufacturer , for four shillings of his wages , which were stopped from a month ago . Sugar-Crusher , his foreman , made his appearance on behalf of his master , and stated to the Bench , the work was too lijcht , for he had glossed it , and the only -way of deciding was by arbitration . The Magistrate then asked the weaver if he were satisfied with a man whom he would name ? The weaver replied in the affirmative ; and Mr . George Smith , manufacturer , was called upon on behalf of Mr . Taylor . Frudd , the warehouseman , bwore there were only twenty picka to the half inch ; but , on examination bMr . Smithit

Thus the weavers should always act , and I have no doubt but Mr . Smith , as a praiseworthy gentleman , whe always has been , will step forward and dojustiee to both parties .

      the dead body of the deceased was lying at the King ' s Head )> ublic-hou 8 e , and also that the other old woman was lying at the Manchester Infirmary , having bad one of her legs broken . The third or younger woman has not since been heard of . Witness ascertained that all three women were seen about two miles on this side of Stoekport , on Sunday evening , between nine and ten o ' clock . None of the three had any money with them , and the witness could not conceive what could induce them to come towards Manchester . [ This witness , we understand , remained sometime in Manchester , making enquiries abont the third woman , without , however , being able to learn anything regarding her . ] the dead body of the deceased was lying at theKimr ' s

      Henry Walker , ostler at the King ' s Head publichouse , deposed—That about half-past seven o'clock on Monday morning , he went to the pit behind the house , which supplies the trough with water , and then he discovered the body of tho deceased in a sluice which runs from the pit The sluice is about a yard and a-half wide , and the water in it about two feet in depth . Deceased lay in the water , with her face downward . There is a passage from the turnpike-road to the sluice , and there are two steps leading down to it , and the deceased was found about five or six yards up the sluice from the steps . She did not appear to have any marks of injuTy about her , nor did her clothes appear to be mangled or ruffled . Witness called two persons to his aid , and the body -was taken out of the -water , but life was quite extinct

      Mrs . Bradley , who resides at Longsight , deposed—That near twelve o ' clock on Sunday night , she-was in the road , and heard a gate open which leads to sume houses belonging to Mrs . Knight , and on looking , she perceived two old women linked together coming from the gate to the high-road . They proceeded in the direction of the King ' s Head , and she saw no more of them . She believed that the woman who was found in the field with her leg broken , on Monday morning , wasoneof them . That womin had been asked what had become of tbe other women who -were with her , to which she replied , that she did not know . On bein ? asked where they came from , she answered , that they came from some place , ' but she could not give any description of it Being asked why they came , she made answer , that they came for a bit of a walk .

      Mr . Bird , surgeon , deposed—That , having examined tbeeody , he found no marks of external injury , and was of opinion , that the deceased had been drowned . The Jury returned a verdict of " Found Drowned . "

      FURTHER PARTICULARS . ThTwoman who it has been staled above -vvas found in a field a few yards from the place where her companion was drowned , was taken to the Infirmary , where sbe still lies in a very precarious state . Her person was examined by one of the surgeons of that institution , but there -were no appearances of injury beyond the fracture of the leg , and a slight bruise on the face . It appears from information supplied by other parties who were not examined on the inquest , that the old woman now in the Infirmary had got into a stable attached to a farm-house near the turnpike-road , and is about two hundred yards from the place where the deceased was found . At about ona o ' clock on Monday morning , the man who occupies the farm-houso , but whose name we have not been able to learn , was alarmed by what he thought were the screams of a woman , and hearing them repeated , a short time after

      he got up and went out , and on opening the stable door this old woman came from among the horses . At the same time he found there was a man in the stable , who was very much intoxicated , and whom he knew . When the old woman came out of the stable , Bhe complained that her leg was broken , but he took no notice of her , and let her "limp away , " . as he called it Knowing the man whom he found in the stable , he also suffered him to escape , and then went to bed again . Having to get up at about half-past four o ' clock to attend to the cattle , 'he then found the old woman laid in the field , about forty yards from the stable . He precured assistance , and had her conveyed to the Infirmary . On being questioned as to the cause of the accident , she replied that she could not tell whether the horses had broken her leg , or whether it had been done by the man -who was found in the stable along with her .

      Mr . Butter gave it as his opinion that the probability was , that these women had wandered on together until they were completely tired , and that , finding it dark , they had begun to look out for lodgings , and that when Mrs . Bradley saw them coming out of Mr . Knight ' s gate , they had most likely been enquiring for lodgings there ; and it was also probable that the deceased had gone up the passage leading to the water , with the same object , and by that means bad got into the water . The third woman , who is still missing , is described in the hand biUs that have Twjen issued , as of the age of forty years , was dressed in an old black silk bonnet , a dark brown cloth cloak , faded pink cotton dnaa-, ~ black wonted stockings , shoes , and a red flannel petticoat Her hair U dark , and is taming grey . She hasainark , or war , on her neck . She left Bainow with the other women , and -we * lost seen on the Manchester road , near Stoekport

Warren , the President of tlie anti-Corn Law Asrociation . The meeting was addressed by the various deputies on the important subject under consideration ; but after a discussion of some length , it was agreed that the meeting should adjourn to that day week ; but it appeared evident that no arrangement could be entered into by the parties , in consequence of the unpopularity of the leaders of the anti-Corn Law league , most of them having done all they could possibly do to put down the movement for universal Suffrage ; and also introduced the infamous policeand spy system , by which means most of the FRIENDS of the people are now in GAOL .
