LE 8 DS AND-WEST-RIDING NEWS . ' SEEDS . TBB THEATEK . —This place of amusement is again opened for the season , under the management of Jli . Hooper , who has certainly shown a most laudable anxiety for the comfort of his patrons , in baring , at & cost which most hare been Terr serious , thoroughly cleansed , repaired , and refitted the whole bonse . It was certainly much needed ; and it JjiS been well done . It is not like the same place . The boxes bare been newly painted and ipapered ; ihe seats . and rests newly and very neatlv covered .

| allery , and the ceiling are covered with emblemadc paintings by Mr . NieholL The whole bouse is now rery comfortable , and we My credit Mr . Hooper ' s statement that u neither expense nor pains have been spared to ensure the comfort of the audience , and to render the Leeds Theatre as elegant and complete as any provincial theatre in the kingdom . " Our avocations have only permitted us to get once , during the present week , to the Theatre . We were there on Thursday evening , and sorry , i ndeed , to see the gpirited exertions of the Manager so ill requited . About seven or eight persons constituted the whole audience , so far as boxes and pit were
concerned , until half-price commenced ; at half price , there was a tolerably good muster . VFe do hope , however , that the exertions of Mr . Hooper will be duly appreciated , and his hazardous speculation rendered profitable by the lovers of ratio : ]*] amusement . Of the company we cannot , of course , say much , having only seen taem once , and then under unfavourable circumstances , for the first act of the play was over when we arrived . The play was ihe drama of "The Farmer ' s Story , " in which are exhibited the vicissitudes in Hie of Stephen Lockicood and various oiher characters . Stephen ( Mr . Laws ) and 3 / ary Locfcrood ( Mrs . Hooper ) make their first appearance as a farmer and his wife
young . Having been fortunate in ihe lottery , the Seeond Act introduced them ( after & snpposed lapse of twelve months ) as living in fashionable sty " . e in Londou , and surrounded by the usual vices and frivolities of town . In this Act we did not think other Mr . Laws or Mrs . Hooper at all i » p ? y . Mr . Law 3 , in all the light scenes , was abrupt , hurried , and wanting in the easy manners of a gentleman ; he was evident-y not at home . Mrs . Hooper in the long scene with Tippet , in which she compares , with much feeling and regret , her present with her former mode of life , seemed to us to have completely lost the spirit of tie author . Her manner
was not so much that of rational regret as a peevish fretfnlness . Her first scene with Mortlake was very good . In the last act , where Stephen appears as % ruined gamester , dwelling in a low hovel , on the heath , and Mary as his almost broken-hearted wife , they both played with great feeling and spirit . Mr . Higgle , as Bristle * , a pretender to the art of painting , was full of quaint humour , and sustained the part well . This gentleman seems well adapted for characters requiring broad humour . Mr . Murray , as Mortlake , » nd Mr . E . Jones , as Rutt , & countryman , were both respectable . After the drama , Sirs . Hooper delivered a very appropriate , poetical opening ad dre «
The farce was ** The King ' s Wager , " announced in the bills as being enacted for the first time here . " We sincerely hope it will also be the last , for the whole affair ( we speak of the piece , not of the acting ) k most contemptible . The onl y bearable characters in it are King Charles , which was admirably played by Mr . Hooper , Herbert Vane , which was well sustained by Mr . Laws , and Rasabelle , which was well played by M-s . Law =. The Duke «/ Buckingham might , think , have made much Better of . On the whole , so far as we c * n jet judge , the company seems well worthy of . -public approbation , and we repeat cur hope that their efforts will be well appreciated .
Mestal Ixpsovehent Soctktt . —The rules and regulations or this society have been revised , and ibe night of meeting altered from Saturdays u Mondays . The first discussion , since the alteration took-lPlace at Clough ' s Temperance Hotel ( where the meeting will in future be held ) on Monday evening last , the question being , « Are Discussion Societies , that admit of debate on religious and j » b " ti : * l subjects , favourable to the progress of truth and moral improvements V The subject was
ably rntrocuced by Mr . William Palliiter , who was followed by sever *! other gentlemen ; but there was little difference of opinion , the meeting beiDg apparently nearly unanimous in favour oi" unfettered discussion upon every subject . A warm debate is however , looked for next Monday , when the comparaGve desirability of Universal and Household Safirage is to be brought on the tapis ; on which Ol--edon a strong muster , both of members and visitors £ confidently expected .

Cocrt House . —On Saturday evening last , a joung man , whose name is Thomas Tbmlinson , from Bolton deliberately thrust his hand through a square of glass in the shop window of Mr . James Pillinc perfumer , &c , No . 79 , King-street , HuddersfielJ , value 4 s . 31 . The young man ackuowled&ed the fact , nor did he attempt to run away ; be said he was in distress . A crowd immediately collected round the door , which greatly obstructed Polling ' s businessconsequently he called Mr . Jonathan Leech , a special constable , who resides opposite , and he wa = taken to prison . On Monday morning , the case was
Drought before Mr . Sutc iffe , magistrate , and , of course , ijr . Pilling appeared against the prisoner . On the oath being tendered , he refused to swear upon the Bible , because he had conscientious objections , but that he would affirm that ho would speak the tiuth . Mr . Sutcliffe said he did not wish to interferes with the rights of conscience , but Be sat tuere to administer the law , and therefore he coula not admit of his mere affirmation , except he was a quaker . Mr . Piiiiug replied there was a recent Act i . f Parliament which permitted all persons to affirm , who objected to take an oa ? h . The magistrate looked at the clerk , ( Laycock ) who immediately began looking to the Act ' s referring
quakcrs and Moravians , aud asked the complainant for the title of the Act . He said he was not so well versed in the laws , and he could not tell them ; but referred t » the case of Mr . Owen , at Leeds , where he was allowed to affirm . After the clerk had looked over his books a short time , Mr . Sutclifi * asked Pilling what religion he was ? and the question being pressed , he declared he was a Rational llejigioiiist . This avowal soon quasned the proceedings . The clerk immediately closed the book , and . declared to his worship that there was no such Act of Parliament in existence .
The worthy justice then turned to the prisoner , andEaidyou are discharged , you may go , mv boy ; and , after consulting a ^ ain with the clerk , " called upon Pilling , and sal- — You must pay five shillings , Sir . Pilling objected , > ayiEg it wai hard that he must pay rates to keep the poor , and taxes for the protec : ion of his property , and the due administration of the laws , at the same time pay for doing what was perfectly right . Mr . Sutcliffe— And you had better pay the fire shilling ? , Sir , or it will " be worse for you . The complainant paid ihe money , bowed to the magistrate , and left the office .

BARKSLEY .

NYe hope no p ^ or man whl be leJ by this drlu .-ivtf paragraph , to visit niis cursed to-. va a ^ ain . Those who ii&vo left it , kuow well how they were treated last season ; and we are sure if they get any kind oi ' employment where they are , they will be better off than they would be by comiDg here to have three months partial employment out of twelve . So much for the Liar of the iNorth and his false paragraphs . — Correspondent .

raiaOLBTON . Police Row . —This town was thrown into great confusion aud excitement oa Monday evtuing last , by the brutal police and the Alkrington coal-iniuerts . The police , about five in number , went into the Little Park about four o'clock in the afternoon , to serve au assault warrant on a young collier . There they met with a few of the same trade—colliers , and questioning them as to where the offender lived , where he was , &o ., a few angry words were uttered by one of tiie miners , which greatly excited the police , who arrested the poor fellow and took him to the Station-house . This was about five o ' clock in the afternoon . Ho etxyed in the Station-house till about seven o ' clock in the evening . This being the
brat arrest the " bluea" had ever made , hundreds were collected from all quarters to see the strange affair . The police , fearing * rescue , thought it best , to take the prisoner to 'Manchester , and there secure him . He was brought out of the Stationhouse with handentfs on both hands , and five of the " Olue" idlers by hia side as a guard . Marching through the Little Park towards Manchester , the road was crowded with men , women , and children . A hooting wus sti up , and btrikiug with bludgeono and fists , kicking wuh clogs aud ahoes , and tin-owing stones and bri c kbat ? , became the order of the day . Iu the coufusicu , the prisoner made his escape , and the police were « lad to ma , ko their way to Manchester . The town , after all this , has been in the greatest tranquillity , up to Wednesday morniiu .
though on Tuesday morniDtf upwards of thirty of the Manchester police entered the town , and paraded the streets and lanta in great numbers , in search of the offenders , but none have beta arrested . On Tuesday night hundreds were collected around the Station-house , to look at the polico . The brutal locusts in their vengeauce began to disperse the people , striking some very old persons most viciously , undoubtedly hoping to create another row . They were , however , disappointed . The people retired , and left them to beat the air or each other , as they liked best . Ouo of thcte " bluo'' fiends—a knock-o ' - kne-j'd , black , aud brutal-looking creatsiro , who in danger waK all for escape , bnt in saff iy was most active , has been beautifully named , according to his former trade , ** Mr . Shut Batcher . "

Co-Operative Stoiws . —It is with great pleasure we learn tna ; th « in-ncioe , as wrll as the principle , of co operation is extending in Manchester—several branches having commenced operations iu the most spirited manner . Others are forming , and amongst them the last , but we hope not tho least , is one in Whittle-street , whuro all working men are invited to come forward a > : d take shares ; aa it is now well undcr » tood the best mode of convincing the shopoi-ratBof the justice of the principlos of the People ' s Charter is to keep our nrnn-. y w . of their tills ; the profits of wlncii has bten .

Campbell be requested to draw up an address to tho people of Salford , by next Monday night , and the same to be sent to tho Northern and Southern Stars , and the Not them Liberator , for insertion . " Mr ! Littler gave in his report of the delegate meeting in Whittle-street yesterday . Tho Chartists of Salford are determined not to be gulled by any clap-trap measure , but to go "' the whole hog " * for tho Charter , aud " No surrender .

BOLTON . TO THE EDITOIt OK IUE KORTHEKN STAR , Dear Sir , —Aa one having u tiring desii-o to contribute to tLe bucccss ami u . sci ' uniss of tiio Star , and with some rxpeiii . ncu as an a ^ ent . you will , inrh-ips , a ' . low nie to expres * my opinion relative to the proposed a » lva : u'c in its price . Perhaps yuu are not aware of the extre ; ne de * titutiun of tlia peoplo hce— that in a gr . at uiauy c ; i- > es the price oi the paper hua to come out of the cupboard of the purchaser—that umler the most auspicious circuiiifctaneee , the circulation of the Star must partially decline in this neighbourhood—and that it will do the paper an irreparable injury , if thia unjust tax be imposed upon the subscribers .
In sayiug that the paper must partially decline here , I do not mean that its readers will diminish . No ! thanks to the oppressor , and the growing appreciation of right principles among the masses , the reverse of that must take place ; and so long as tyranny shall live , and ignorance and disunion shall becloud and distract the human world , so long shall the Star be a veritable sun , ctlt tending towards a glorious meridian ^—scorching the wicked— -exposing the false—enlightening the uninformed—exciting the indifferent—encouraging the desponding , and shedding its genial influences over all the lovers of their species .
* < or will tho injury I hate named be caused by any disinclination on the part of the subscribers to contribute to » o laudable an object as the reliof of the families of our incarcerated friends ; but that they view an impost levied in such a manner aa the ona in question , aa unjust in the extreme , as it can only fall upon thoBe who take the paper , and aro already burdened past endurance . If any parties are exempted fr * oi contributing , I should say , let it be the subscribers to tho Star , sb they aro tho supporters of the great organ of the people , without which , all the struggle * of the popular giant would be worse than U 3 eios 8 . If , Mr . Editor , I might presume to advise , I should certainly recommend a reduction in the price , confident tbat the incre ; i 8 a in the circulation would more than compensate for such reduction . Nevertheless , I would not that t ! ie parties were thrown upon a heartless world , without help and sympathy .
Let a proper nmthod <> f collecting subscriptions be adopted , and even a iarthing per week will be found more than sufficient for till purposes . This is , of course , suppoBing tho thing as it Ought to be , each and every Chartist in the empire paying as regularly as if his own father or brother were of the victims . In contusion , Sir , I beg leave to predict that if the Siar is raised in price , it must waae . Yours , &c , James Perci Kenton . Market Place , Eoltcn , 3 iay 13 , ls-io .

FROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , Seven o'clock . City Nvws and Commeucial Prospects . —The basis of commercial and monetary transactions has been bo much biokc-n up b y the political troubles and milif . ary movements of the Government , and the embari-asrsmeiirs of the B * nk of England , that the re-atta'nmg of a satisfactory state of things , is found to be d fficult , anl full of ob . ^ ruelioa . It id now nearly seven months since the bullion in the Bank was reduced to the lowest point that has ever been
marked m their returns einoe the year 1833 . All things are relative , aud must be compared with other things ; an increase of one million and threequarters from the extrenu- point < f the crisis , must nece ^ rily diuuiuibh the pressure felt by . the trading community . In times uf extreme pressure wheu the Dimaora of the link of Wland become alarmed for their own safety , the most dangerous of &U dependencies in the London discount market

MURDER OF LORD WILLIAM RUSSELL RE-EXAMINATION OF COURVOISIEft . At Bow-street , on Thursday , the Court , and all the approaches to it , were crowded from an early hour this morning by persons anxious to catch a glimpse of tho valet of the late lamented Nobleman who stands charged with the wilful murder of his ma&tor , and who was remanded on Monday last to this day . Among those present in tho Court we observed his Serene Highness the Duke of Brnnswick , who seemed very attentive to the whole of the proceedings ; Count Alton , his Equerry ; the Earl of Essex ; bir W . W . Wynne ; Sir U . Beauaiont ; Mr . Murray . Mr . Hall , the chief magistrate , took his seat on the bench shortly b ? fore two o'clock , and almost immediately afterward * .
1 ranffois Beujamin Courvoisier was placed at tho bar . He appeared collected . Mr . Hobler conducted the prosecution , and Mr . Flower appeisieu for the prisoner . Mr . Wing , t :: e f ^ oisuitor to tho Duko of Bedford , was also in attendance . Tiie only two witnesses exammed wars Sarah Mancell , the housemaid , and Mn-y Hasc-11 , t ' . ; - coi-k . Their evnuuHie was liuly m-ire than a ri-pe-Mlion of the evidence given before the curlier , and which appeared in our last , except iliac various ariiclfs , which had been found couceakil in ihe house , were prociured by the police , and identified by Maucell . Mr . Flower decliued asking tho witnesses any questions .

Thb Sheffield Petitio : ? . —The Sun of Thursday thus remarks ou this petition of the Sheffield Cliartisti : — " The Commons sat for a shaft time , but did nothing except receive petitions , only one of which deserves any notice . It was from Sheffield , signed by 16 , ( 00 inhabitants . It asked the House to address the Crowa to dismiss the Ministers—( the Tories cheered vociferously)—to appoint others who would make Universal Suffrage a Cabinet question —( the Tories were dumb)—to put an end to long speeches ( wi 3 e menV—to exclude lawyers from the House —( wiser still)—to frame a new code of laws , and abolieh the old laws —( the Commons will do no such thing)—to exclude heirs of Peers from the House of Common ? , and to pass an act of amnesty for all political offences . Hon .
Members stared when theybad heard the petition to the end . The hard and clear-headed men of Shef-K ( Id told them what they are little accustomed to hear . If such petitions be got up in other largo towns—if they speak anything like the uubiasted sentiments of the people , as we believe thev dofor the people are goaded by Corn Laws and other devilry , out of ail respect for the law and the Constitution—will the Tories , who persist in maintaining a heap of unjust laws , please to inform the publio how society is to ba governed ? That it can be governed by a constitution of which the masses speak , as the men of Sheffield have spoken , is as impossible as that each man of these masses should cut off his own noee . Tho Sheffield petition demands public attention , and it will find an echo ia many places . "
