Those of that body were the principal . Everything was dose that was possible under the appalling cirepmstances , and principally through those very religious ladies , to give consolation to the widow both . night and day . A resolution was come to that £ 500 should be immediately raised by subscription , and an annuity purchased therewith . No sooner was this proposed , than a committee was formed , subscription books provided , divisi ons marked out , and Persona appointed to eanrass the inhabitants from

The work was instantly commenced nd carried forward with greai alaenty aad great wooes , and in a few hours about £ 150 waa prowled , male and female vieing with each other in seal to complete the object they had so energetically Jtopted .

Some were for ^ ading it to has real widow -and on its being proved she was dead , it was suggested that the poor children , who , were in some of the London poorhouses , should have it but ultimately it was agreed it should be returned to the subscribers , and the canvassers were ordered to return to every one their donation . -Of course each had to tread their round a second time ; but some said they were so ashamed with so disgraceful an affair , tha : they refused . So Huddsrsfaeld has had a Hart only when they imagined thev in
were possession of a Duke . The culprit has been committed to York for the murder of Duke Wh 3 & , (** » , ¥ had onl ? fcNed » Hart ; they bnned William Hart , instead of William Duke . The wifeofDuke while alive , not his widow after hia dfcatn , and the insatiable thirst of the Huddersfield Wiugs for strangers , has brought upon them the contempt of all . Had they continued the good old system , and saved the puDlio money , and permitted the uihabitauts to live in peace with each other , they would have Baved themselves from much odium and contempt . They wanted no blue bottles . If you i » fool in a mortar , he will come out a fool still . The creatures are at their dirty work againthey are now exploring distant regions for Duke ' s ' afces Hart ' s successor , and , in all probability , they will be bitten in their next aitempt .

Fracas o « the Magistrates * Bench . —On Tuesday last , Mr . Floyd appeared on summons before our magistrates , to answer the complaint of Mr . James Clay , of Slaithwaite , and to show c&ueo why Mr . George Crossland had been returned as Guardian for that township , against the return made , which gave a majority of eight for Mr . John Suihers . Mr . Clough , solicitor , who appeared for Mr . Clay , stated the case at great length , and in a most luminous manner , 8 howed that Floyd had committed numerous breaches of the ordere of his masters , the Poor Law Commissioners , and called a witness to prove he had delivered » notice to Floyd , for the production of all papers connected with the Slaitbwaito election for
(• uardian . He also called witnesses who proved that the votes were examined and cast up in the same manner as those for other townships . Floyd , as a matter of course , defended himself , which he did in a most flurried and coofastd manner . He floundered from one extremity to another ; and it was frequently expected that he would break down . Any one charged with a criminal offence , acting in a similar manner , would have , at once , been convicted . He opened out a tirade against Mr . Clongh , and charged him with a desire to occupy his situation as Clerk to the Guardians . He also told the magistrates he would not believe Mr . jpitkelhlv oa his oath ; on which the Bench stopped him and cried
u Shame , " and instaEtly a general burst of indignation proceeded from the crowded court . He stam-¦» red' « rwhh * TTOgtirade , re « nnited toe haftrsMpu which he had to enduro— the frowns , the Siaaw , tfaa lymlmnftfoomd even the assaults that the Commiasioaerj v THa- Jm |» ose * -- « p © a . himthe hardships and difficulties he had to eurmount ; and all this for the paltry 6 um of £ 140 a-year ! A response throughout the Court followed this remark —* Aye , and plenty too for a Bastiler ; '' and " Give it up , give it up / ' He complained that in no less than twenty-one townships there had been contested elections , and that he had nomination papers , property claim papers , proxy papers , proxy claim
papers , and voting papers to prepare , to issue , and collect , after which they were to examine , to reject , or approve , as J . Cookson Stephenson Floyd thought proper ; to add up , scrutinise , make , return , and to notice such persons as he thought fit to be the elected Guardians : in fact , he had surmounted impossibilities , and there ho was , dragged a second time before their Worships , for paltry charges of breaches of the orders of the Commissioners . Floyd refused to produce a biugle puper connected with the election , or a witness—denied the jurisdiction ol the Court , and in the some breath begged forgiveness ,, on the ground of excessive and harrassing duties . There were two old English gentlemen on
the bench , and three of Lord John ' s ex qfficios . That the case was one of the most flagrant ever brought into a court was clear as the sun at noon-day . Lord John ' s own , who throughout the proceedings , displayed the keenest spirit olpartizanship , now , being three in number , seemed determined that their tool ( Floyd ) , should be saved from a conviction , and consequently insulted the chairman , who retaliated in no measured terms . Finding all his efforts to do justice in vain , and after he had repeatedly offered to resign his chair to those who attempted to dictate , he declared that as a majority of the bench wsu opposed to a conviction he supposed the case must fall to the ground . On this , the
three Whig 3 forming the majority , exclaimed that a majority was the Bench , and that he ( the Chairman ) had no right to give his decision in that manner . The wnole of the magistrates were ia a most excited state—in fact , in perfect tumult ; and it is expected that the other magistrates will never sit with those who , by fair orfoul means , are determined to enforce the bastile scheme . Another summons is taken out against Floyd fer next Tuesday , and let it be understood , that those proved are only preparatory to the carrying up of the whole case to the Court of Qaeen ' s Bench , and that until then , ao jastico iB looked for , and where the ruffianly proceedings will be fully exposed .

SIUSWISLD . SPREAD OF CHABTIST PUIKCtPLES . —The following i » a copy of the Petition adopted on Easter Monday in Paradise-square . It has already obtained 16 , 000 signatures . The cause is progressing here at railway speed . We have got a large room , and are going on better than we ever did : — " To the Right Honourable and Honourable Knights , Citizens , and Burgetses in Parliament assembled . The humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the Borough of Sheffeld and its Vicinity , Sheweth .
"That your Petitioners request that your Honourable House will present an humble Address to her Majesty , praying that her Majesty -will be graciously pleased to dismiss her present Ministers , as being altogether unworthy of the confidence of either the Crown or Uie people , as all Ministers have been for the last fifty yean , and that she will be gHwiously pleaaed to call to her councils Ministers who will pledge themselves to make the principles of- Universal Suffrage a Cabinet measure .
" Tour humble Petitionera further request the attention of your Honourable House to this fact , that whilst the industrious people of these realms are starving for want of employment , and a sufficiency of "whelesome fo » d , that your Honourable House would not waste your time in long and useless speeches , and in party quarrels and contentions , as if the only object of assembling of your Honourable House together was to levy taxes , the pressure of which is , and long has been , too grievous to be borne . "Your Petitioners stUl further pray , tfcat yotvr Honourable House will exclude all professional lawyers from an office or seat in Parliament , as it is their interest to confuse and obscure the intention and nieaniog of all laws , that they may not be understood , but become the means of oppression and absolute power .
" Your Petitioners further request that as there are seventy-five volumes of , containing fifty thousand closely printed pages of , the Statute' Law of this cointry , too much for any man to read during a long Ufa ; that , therefore , your Honourable House will cavv *> All Statute Laws as such to ceasu to « lat at a given perfwi Prior to which a new , compendious and intelligible code of British Laws shall be published as the law of the land , and be deposited in all courts of law and halls of justice ; that when any citizen is suspected t <> be or found guilty , the law by which he Is committed or condemned may be read to him , that he an £ . s society may know that he is not punished unjustly , or for the pleasure of an individual or party .
"Your humble Petitioners further request that you will enact a law to exclude from yonr Honourable House all heirs and descendants of the House of Reera , or Peers of the Realms , as the landed interest / and those of accumulated wealth , are sufficiently represented and protected in the Upper House . That your Henourable House may be what it was originally intended to be , an House representing the interests of the British people , whose property ia their industry , amounting to about ninety millions per year , which is now altogether unprotected . More than half of this sum is extracted from tie people without any return exoept Poor Law bastiles , prisons , and gaols .
" Y « ur Petitioners also pray that you will address her Majesty , that she may be graciously pleased to restore Frost , Williams , and Jones to their families , inasmuch as they were illegally convicted ; and also , that her Majesty will be pleased graciously to extend her royal pardon to all persons of these realms incarcoated for political offences .
" And your Petitioners , as in duty bound , will ever pray . "
HYDE . Petty Sessions . —Messrs . George Booth and John Smith , constables of Hyde , were summoned on Thursday week to appear to shew cause for having signed a requisition to call a meeting on Easter Monday , to petition Parliament to address her Maiesty to dismiss her present advisers , and call more QODCBt and honourable men to her councils , each as would make Universal Suffrage a cabinet question , and also for the return of Frost , Williams , and Jones The case being called , Booth and Smith appeared and estioned
were qu as to how this business had been got up , and who presented the requisition for signature , &c , &c ; the constables crawled a bit , and expressed their sorrow and regret at haviag so far committed themselves . ( Hear , hear , from the bench . ) The case was then ordered to stand over until the evidence had been laid before the Secretary of State for the Home Department , and in doing so , assured the constables that they should not forget to send a few of their tears of sorrow for having so far " committed themselves" by performing a public du y ;—Fudge .

Sabbatb-Bheaking . —Horrible Impiety !!!—A boy was brought np by constable Nichols , forihat he impiously and wiekedly , in the sight of hearea and at * frm day , on Sunday last , instigated "by tBe ^ tevff ' and not baviDg the fear of God before their eye * did—and ( will you believe it , . gentle reader \) what do you think he did ! why he-allowed a pkeoii ** f **« r l » d # fro * his iailK * fcd < K * V--5 e ** ai for this offence was doomed to pay 3 s . 60 * . Talk of the Rural Police , can we be worse 1 If the honest and industrious artizans are to be insulted by such idle , ignorant , and unfeeling wretches as these , it is high time they left off working for the bloated
capitalist , and begin to toil for them'elves .-r-Two men were also brought up b y Barratt , the Inspector of police , charged with having impiously and wicitedly amused themselves with a penny , by throwing it up and catching it again on the Queers highway , at Dukinfield , on Sunday last . The case was dismissed . This was too glaring even for Whiggery . After the above , comment is almoBt useless . It would seem , however , that our Hyde magistrates are determined to signalise themselves ; seeing that cotton ia getting very bad , a pension may be very acceptable ; and like the Rev . Mr . Heys , who had a terrible engagement ; with the turf stacks oa Ashton Moss , and for which and similar other things , he got pensioned by the Tories ; so it would seem that our friends here have an eye to similar glory by bloodless victories .
BABLESTON . Chartism . —After a long sleep Chartism has again made its appearance amongst the inhabitants of Harleston and its vicinity . An association was established here last June , but being deprived of their customary place of meeting , the Two Brewers , by the threats of both landlord and magistrates , the cause continued declining till the inhabitants thought that " the Chartists were dona with at last , and we shall hear no more of that riotous , troublesome set . " But contrary to the expectation , of many , and the cb « grin of more , some bills appeared , annoanoing that Mr . J . Love , from Norwich , would addresB the people on Lyleham Green and Harleston Common .
According to the common plan of the enemies of Chartism , the poor workmen were commanded by their roasters , not to attend such corrupt discourses ; and one of the most zealous of the Disnentiug Ministers of thia town , a 8 trenuo « e opposer of the corruption of Church and State , has b-en employed , the week previous to Mr . L . ' s coming , in going from house to house and advhing and exhorting his hearers not to attend . ' How much better would it have beta for this man to have Baid "Go and hear the man , attentively consider what ne says , compare it with the Word of God ; if they ajjree , receive it ; if they disagree , reject it . " Surely this mode of proceediug would be much better than advising men to condemn when have not heardbut
they ; po it is . You kear men frequently saying "D—n the Chartists ! " aadtken directly showing their ignorance of our principles by asking " What is the Chatter ! " Notwiths ^ niring all the machinations of the enemies of truth and justice , in spite of all the masters' threats , about three hundred persons attended Mr . Love's lectures , in the morning of Sunday last , on Lyleham Green , "ind about seven hundred in the afternoon on Harleston Common . His discourses went directly to the point , defending the Chartista from the vile and false imputations cast upon them , and shewing to the people that our only object is to produce " Peace on earth and good will amongst all mankind . " He was attentively , and I believe gladly , heard by the people . At the conclnsioQ of ihe services , tracts in
explanation of our principled were distributed , ud most eagerly Bought for by the people . Notice was also ' given that on that day three weeks , Mr . Love would again address them ; the friends of Chartism being determined to nee all legal and constitutional means in their power to spread the holy principle they profess . May their labour not be in Tain . I cannot conclude without stating that at tb « Harltston meeting , Mr . L . had three blue bottles , in uniform , at his elbow , one , a superintendent , came some mileB to be present at these alarming meetings . There waa also a policeman from Stratum , in disguise . But these locusts oould find but few green Herbs to devour ia the temperate , moral , comstitutional discourses of Mr . Love , wh « challenged any person to discussion , public or private , on tne principles of Chartism .
Mr . Lowest . —The letter of Mr . Lewery , in the last Star , is extremely valuable . We want agitation . The greaUst fault of the old Convention was that it spent bo many days , yea , weeks in fruitless , profitless discussion . Agitating Conventions are most needed by the people ; let them be elected as Mr . Lowery has stated , assemble together , appoint a uniform mode of action and opinion , and then proceed to agitate the community , nxing a certain time , say once a month , to assemble together and consult upon their past labours and direct their future ones . Let the Northern Star be appointed for the general organ , where all the lecturers shall send their reports of public meetings , and of course having the liberty of sending also to any other journal they please , reports of the same niettiugs . As Mr . Lowery truly says a sitting Convention is useless . Agitate , agitate , agnate I

BUU . Botanic Gabden . —Snveral shameful depredations have lately been committed in the- Botanic Garden . In the greenhouses , some fine plants of the camellia , epaeris , &o ., have been mutilated and irreparably injured by individuals cutting off and carrying away the flowers . Within the last few days , some of the fine auriculas , aUo , have thus been mutilated , and taken from the glass frame within the rockery . The Committee have determined that the strictest watch shall henceforth be kept , that the offenders may be detected and prosecuted . Such disgraceful conduct
cannot be too strongly repjpbated , nor the parties guilty of it too speedily bright to punishment . It is most discouraging to the zcaioaS and active curator , Mr . Smith , thus to have destroyed in a moment , a plant which , in some instances , has taken him years to bring to a statfojf perfection . Awful Death . 6 t . FiEb . —An inquisition was held on Thursday week , before John Thorney .

The flesh was nearly fci £ ot » ff . her neck and face , as well aa her hands , artts , <«< £ breast . She waB immediately removed to the Infirmary , where she survived
in the greatest agony uutU Wednesday night . Whuti the body was laid out it presented a more horafti spectacle thaucan . be easily imagined .

Casb ^ Jp BASTABpr . —At tho Police Court , on Monday , Hannah Atkiuaon , at the instance of the Board of Guardians , affiliated a child upon Robert Carr .

It was stated that a similar order had only been made a few weeks before , and that there were several others of tho fair sex likely to prefer claims of a similar nature upon the Bame defendant . t
RCCHD ^ &S . Chubchwabdens . —The five days' poll for Churchwardens closed yesterday evening week , in favour of the Church party . The Whigs either did not vote at all . or voted against the Radicals . After ihe poll dosed , the Tories , thinking they had obtained a great triumph , set the Church bells a-ringing . They used the most bare-faced compulsion in forcing their workpeople to vote , or a threat of discharge ; but , after all th « triumph they gained , and all t he efforts they used , there was not 5 , 000 votes recorded on both sides , although there are near 20 ^) 00 in the parish . They polled , or Baid they did , 3 , 002 ; leaving their opponents in a minority of 1 , 515 votes .
Suicide . —On Thursday morning , Joseph Squires , a person who some time ago moved in a respectable sphere as a master tailor , but of la te has become reduced , put an end to his existence , by hangiii " himself in the garret of hia own house . He was between fifty and sixty years of a ge , and waB formerly a Sergeant in the Royal Marines . He was in the receipt of a pension ; and has left a wife and family . Ow Wednesday evening , the Commissioners of the Rochdale Police held their annual meeting , in their rooms , for the purpose of hearing and passing

Akbcdotb . — -The following anecdote may amuse Bonw of your readers , the truth of which may be ) relied upon : —A few nighta ago , a poor man who goegAbout selling cockles , muscles , &c , lay awake in bed , and hearing a noise which at first surprised him ; it continued , when he mustered courage , got oat of bed , and struck np a light , and almost trembling , began to search for the unusual visitor ; his eyes following the direction of the sound , ho found out his nocturnal visitant to be a mouse in combat with a large cookie , -which bad caught hold of the mouse ' s tail , and held so fast that all the powers of mousey could not disengage herself from her hard-coated adversary . The man enjoyed the sport for a while , and then liberated the mouse , by taking the cockle from ita tail .
Siatb of , Trade . ——The Flannel trade rather declines than improves in thU neighbourhood : many scores are totally out of employ , and in the most wretched state of destitution . On Wednesday night , the Weavers got a meeting of the Manufacturere , called b y circular , to see if something could not be done In the behalf of themselves , by agreeing to as equalisation of wages . Only about a dozen thought it worth their while to attend ; and , after some time being spent ia cavil and confusion , they then dispersed M they met . Mr . Wm . Turner , of Holme Shorewould have
, adopted the following plan , but he got no supporters : M That if ever a redaction in wages was deemed requisite , every manufacturer should be called together previous , and all commence at one time , and reduce to the same amount , or if an advance eould be allowed , to act in the same manner . " The weavers and spinners of Messrs . Tempest have resumed their work on the 6 th instant , an agreement having been brought about , but like many other cases of the kind , a few of the moat active of the torn-outs havebeen dismissed .
Sudden Death . —On Monday , about two o ' clock , an old man , named Benjamin Smith , who was returning home from Rochdale , when near the Theatre , fell down in the street , and died .

SXOCKPORT . ! Turn-oux of Power-loom Weavers . About * , 000 of the power-loom weavers at Stockport have turned out against a proposed reduction of their wages , and it is expected that upwards of 1 , 000 raoro will leave their employ at the end of thia Weok ^ A public meeting of ihe turu-outa was held oo a vacant plot oflandiu Greek-street , at six o ' clock ou Monday morning , when the assemblage was addressed by several speakers on the necessity of withstanding the reduction , as the only means of preventing-them from being brought down to the degraded state of the Irish peasantry . It was
unanimously resolved , that the wearers should not take each other ' s employment , and that all who were . out of employ previous to the turn-out should receive the same amount of relief as those who had left their employ in consequence of the intended reduction . At the close of the proceedings , about 2 , 500 of those who had been at the meeting , 1 , 832 of whom were females , formed themselves into a procession , and paraded the principal streets of the borough , three abreast , in the most orderly manner . Several district meetings were afterwards held in the course of the day ; and , at present , they seem determined to resist the intended reduction to the utmost in their
power . DUDLEY .
