M I keg leave to eertify that the vile slander of a certain profligate character respecting Mary Ann Moore , is altogether fah »; both the mother and daughter are very creditable , deeent , poor people . B Jakes W . Boward * Sargepn . M Burmandiefts , May 20 th , 1840 . " ~ Thxatre . —On -Thursday Sir Lytton Bulwer ' s newpky of the "Sea Captain was produced by Hie manager for the first tfee , and with deserved success . As the stery « f the play may not be familiar to our readers , and as h is most likely to be often repeated , we will give them an eutline of it , io far as we could make it out ourselves . The leese is laid in England , daring the reign of Elizabeth . Lady Arandel ( MrsTXaws ) Countees
of Arundel and Ashdale in her own right , whose estate * are situated near flie sea-coaet of Devonshire , on the banks of the Ex , is , about twenty-five years before the action of the play begins , secretly ttarried to a gentleman of inferior rank . This gentleman is murdered in a rained chapel on the coast by Gaussen ( Mr . L . S . Thompson ) at ihe insrigat : on of &r Maurice Beevor , heir-at-law to the tiiles and estates of the Countess . Three days after the murder , the Countess brings into the world a son , Norman ( Mr . Mude ) , who is of course the rightfdl heir of the family . The Countess afterwards remarries , concealing her former marriage from her new husband , a nobleman of equal rank with herself . By him she has a second son , Percy . Lord Ashdale
( Mr . Higgie ) for whom she entertains the most Violent affection ; bo that , at the instigation of Sir Maurice , her first child , who had been brought np by Ons ' . ow ( Mr . Laws ) a village pastor in the neighbourhood , in ignorance of his birth , is sold to pirates , that Percy may succeed to thetitles . Meantime the second husband dies ; * nd Norman , who has become captain of a vessel , rescues from pirates Violet , ( Miss Cowell ) , a ward of we Countess , who , with her servant , Mistress Pru-« nce , ( Mrs . Kelly , ) is on her way to England , from toe Indian seas . He falk in love with her ; and learning that she resides in Devonshire with the Countess , and having some faint recollection ( like Bertram in " Guy Mannering " which this piece
reaembles in more instances than one ) that he himself was born of noble parents in that part oi the wintry , he visits England , and proceeds in nis vessel to the coast of Devonshire , and easts anehor off the estates of the Countess . At this period the action of the play begia 3 . Gaussen ( the pirate from whom he rescued \ 1 olet , and who is larking about the estates . ) instantly recognises him . and informs Sir Maurice , who resolves on making toe circumstance subservient to the designs he begins to entertain of succeeding to the estates . Meante »« , Xorsum meets Violet and the Countess , and is invited uj the latter to the castle , she having previously ascertained , through Sir Maurice , that h « is bar son . Fer&i . Lord Ashdale . who is rasidine with
aer , ami who is m love with Violet , surprises the latter m a tender tet **« tete witk Norman , whom he treats in the most Motefi ^ Baaner . Meantime the Countest arrives , ce&traits the noble conduct of the eldest bora with tjau « f her Akvourite , and-almost repeats her unnatural conduct towards the former , tto spaee will not allow us to particularise the varied and interesting incidentB of the piece , and we *< mse our readers to see and judge for themselves ; it wOl be mfficient to state that in the end poetical justice is done w ail parties . The repentant aether acknowtedgee her eldeet Bon . and is regarded b y the attachment of both ; Norman » restored to the title ani estate * , which he gene-?*« y concedes to his younger brother , who ii
» more seed of than himself ; Sir Maurice ( who aad plotted the death of both brothers to obtain the « t * te ) is caught in the net bis own hands had laid ; /*«« r / faithful attachment to the poor sea-captain * nea wooed by Lord Ashdale ii recompensed by her ° a » a with the object of her affection ; and Gaussen , « &the ideuiical spot where , twenty-five years back . * e had slain the lather of Norman , loses hisown : -we by the hand of the son . Of the acting there is * ff awl * « x » to speak . Mr . L . STThompfjn * chaneter was decidedly the best *» J * d , and Mtb . Lawi sunk beneath the *««« © f the eonflieiing passions of the imperious " »«»?«* . A » a whole , the play was well acted , * 5 poalij eomidering that it wu a new piece , for woicb allowances aboold be always made . The "enery i § good : and the dreasea would be much
° &&a if ihey wer » aore appropaate to the V * n < vi ia trhka the a « w « u laid . The Fieoe was azaouneed for repetition on the following Sight amidtt general applause . We have alsoaeen « e Jealous Htfe and Jane Short , which we notice Merel y to speak ia commendation of Mr . Mnde ' a J ^*^ 3 r in the former , and Mr . L . Thompson ' s goucesler in the latter . Mr . Thompson promises * ° become an excellent actor . His person and ^ Wores are much in his favour—hie delirery and ction are good—ie is aimost « ntirely ( though not 5 WK ) destitute of grimace—and , above all , he aoes not appear to thiui the art he professes un-* onhj of pains and atttJltion .

HVS& . ] ^ 8 rnt tl X : l ? lzz l' ? IIErt - ~ At * PoHce Court ' Hnif w « Tr ^ * £%% collecting clerk to the HuU Flax and Cotton Mill Company , who recently decamped with a considerable iW of money , the property of his employers , was placed at the bar , charged with embeiriin ^ a sum of money , as far as irfWyEF 80 ?* bBMCer *» u » ei » mounting to upwards of £ 1 , 700 . Ii appeared that , in consequence of his departure under suspicious circumstances , communications respecting the robbery had been promptly forwarded to the policeof the various aea-port and other greattowns . Thiseonrseled totheapprehension of the prisoner in the city of Norwich . The authorities of that city having given this intelligence to our Superintendent of police , Mr . M'Manus proceeded thither on Inursday week , and arrived here with t >™ pri-HVtt . on ^^^ r ^ ItZ ^ u _ 77 i 5 . _ ' 1 TTTT "' fS ?^ . co llecting clerk to the
soner on Sundav morning . Mr . Hassell said , in ^ SISWV * ™ P ? " decamping with about nil vr '«^? l ? * > elon « ing to * Q « Flax and Cotton Mill Co ., he had applied for a warrant for his apprehension . The prisoner , he said , had been in the habit of collecting their accounts . Mr . Kyland said , on the Saturday evening previous to the prisoner ' s departure , he asked him for the amount of cash which he had received , to which the prisoner replied that he had received very little , and that he would be prepared on Monday to make up his accounts . On making inquiries , however , witness found that he had received several considerable sums nearly a week before , for which he had never accounted , and on Monday morning he gent a letter
to witness , stating that he was goinif to the funeral of an nncie . This awakened their suspicions , and ou further inquiry they found that the prisoner had received very considerable sums , amongst which were three bills from Messrs . Ullatborne and Jndson amounting to upwards of £ 100 , which Mr . Ullathorne proved on being called . The prisoner sa . id he had no intention of defrauding the company . He had not made use of a shilling of their money , andnehad not been m the habit of leaving their money ia the drawer , but of keeping it in his possession . There had been no fixed time for collecting the accounts , for he had always gone out at his own convenience . He hoped the directors would allow him to balance his accounts and pay all the money
over to them . He was not in any degree deficient , — but was prepared to balance th « bookB at any moment . Mr , Kyland had bo objection to allow him to balanee the accounts , but he hoped suffiofenitime would be av owed them to make further inquiries . The-Mayor should nk ft > o . i « ar wha > evidence ttwre w » toabd * that he intended to make an improper use of the money . M $ . M ' Manus said when he arrived at Norwich the prisoner first told him , that when he get to London his heart failed him ; that he had intended to go to France by the Calais mail , but that he had ultimately come to Norwich to consult oue of the customers of his employers , and to ask him to
interfere in his behalf . He ( Mr . M'M . ) had found in the prisoner ' s possession , besides a quantity of papers Bank of England and provincial notes to the amount of £ 1 , 590 ; in sovereigns , £ 199 ; and in o ^ tl ^^ copper , 2 s . Sd . ; making a total of £ 1 , 789 is . 3 d . This sum he wished to lodge in a bank , and wished to know in which ? Mr . Hassell wished to be informed whether the bench could not grant the company the use of it , —to which the Mayor replied xn the negative , and ordered it to be lodged in the bank of Messrs . Pease and Liddells . The prosecutors then applied to have the prisoner remanded until Thursday , which request was granted .
Indepekdesx SociBrr of thb Daughters of RscHA ^ -On Monday week , the 11 th instant , a female benefit society , under the above title , was opened in connection with the Hull Temperance Society . It has been in contemplatioa for Bometime to open a Female Recbabite Tent ; but on making the necessary inquiries , it was foond that the United Order of Female Rechabites existed but in name , and that there were no sufficient grounds for the expectation that it would be lasting and efficient . Under these circumstances , Borne of the friends have resolved to commence an independent society , and
to place it , if possible , on a firm and permanent foundation . This design , after much delay , was happily carried into effect on the above occasion , and a tent of the Independent Society of the Daughters of Rechab was opened with impressive solemnity , pledged to carry out the principles of total abstinence , and tp diffuse sound moral and virtuous sentiments , as far as their influence may extend . The greatest harmony and good feeling prevailed ; all appeared to feel that they were engaged in a good work , and the happy evening will long be rememberea with delight and satisfaction . The prospects of the infant society are of the most promising character .
Scddkk Death . —An inquisition was held last night at the Baltic Tavern , English-street , before John Thorney , Esq ., on view of the body of Jane Reed , who died suddenly on Sunday morning last . It appeared that the deceased , who is the wife of a labouring man , residing in Commercial-lane , Edgarstreet , sat down to breakfast with her husband on Sundav morning in good health , and that she almost immediately afterwards became convulsed and died in a few minutes . Verdict— " Died by the visitation of God . "
BINGLET . ExiEisios .. of ibkChdech Establishment . — During the last few weeks , the walls of this place have been coTered with placards , announcing that a petition was laying for signature at the shop of Mr . Outersides , ironmonger , for the extension of the Church Establishment . The first two or three days there was only two or three signatures attached to it ; the machinery working so very indifferently , the artisan was compelled to put his head to study to find out which would be the best way of making his machine obtain more ^ i ^ natures . After consulting his far-felched brains for Borne time , he hit upon a plan ; but . Io 5 what does the public think it was ! He waited at his shop door one evening , until the factory gave over workand stopped all the little
, factory lads , and got aa many into the shop as it would bold , and tfiese who could sign the petition did so , and those who < x-u ) d not , got the oiners who could , to do it for ih-m . As soon as be obtained as many signatures from them as he could , he then opened hi * cage door , and turned his newly caught birds into the street , all of them highly delighted at hariiig had the honosr of putting their pen to such an _ immense sheet of paper . One of the young chirpers was followed home by a person , and when asked what they ail had b » en doing at Outersides the lad said , " I don ' t know , he called us in to sign snmmutt , and we wrate on a big piece of paper . "
His father then said , " What hast thou been signing ? " The lad ' s reply was , I know nowt about it " The Sunday following , the petition lay at the Church door , and all those who were going to Church , were stopped and asked to sign it ; and after all their trickery , their number of signatures were so very small , that half a sheet of poet paper would have contained them . The working people of Bingley are not to be duped aa easy as the Church faction anticipated . They know too well that £ 44 , 000 a year are extracted from their marrow—more than all the rest of the Christian world pay put together , to maintain what they call the Poor Man ' s Church .
Co-operatios Friendly Society . —On Saturday evening last , a few friends met togethtr for the purpose of forming a Co-operation Frieudly Society ; some few resolutions was proposed and carried . The working men of Bingley have once more roused from their dumber , and are determined to co-operafetogether , aud if there is any benefit , they Bee the necessity of having themseives , instead of Mmnji it to those vrho have so long treated them with contempt , and been their greatest enemies , it is hoped , by numbers of the inhabitants , that the society may be successful in its progress .
Serious Accid&xt . —Oh Monday last , a boy about eleven or iwei > e years of age , was planng dowu at Mr . D . W . Siiarp ' s wash-house , when the combers were washing their wool , and by some neglect one of his hands gyt betwixt the rollers , which lacerated two or three of his fingers , and tore them nearly from the hand , stripping the skin bare to the bone up to the wrist . If it had not been for the presence of mind of a young man called Cork , who stopped the rollers , the lad s arm might have been torn from his body . He was immediately removed to Mr . Dryden ' s , the Burgeon , who gave ordera for him to be removed to the Bradford Dispensary , which was done instantly . It is feared the lad ' s hand will have to be amputated .
Os Sckdat last , a sermoB was preached in the BaptiBt Chapel , by the Rev . R . B . Lancaster , of Horton College , on behalf of the Philanthropic Sunday School . This Khool is conducted generally by persona who belong to the Ancient Foresters , and who have kindly offered their services gratuitously . They teach reading and writing , and their number of pupils are continually on the increase . The progress that many have made sin e * their commencement does the teachers great credit . At the eloee of the sermon a collection was made for the purpose of obtaining books and other necessaries for the benefit of the young pupils . It is sincerely hoped that the parishioner ! of Bingley will not leave this school unnoticed , u they are all aware that education is , or ought to be , the leading string for the rising generation . MISGXtET .
Redcctiok of Wagjs . —We are informed that Mr . Jamei Aked , jun ., worsted manufacturer , » f Midglcy , has reduced the wages of Mb weavers froa eight to leu per cent . Some of the manaiacturen , it is said , have remonstrated against the redaction . A deputation from the weavers went to him , and represented the hardship of their case , but to no effect . About two years since , Aked made a similar reduction ia wages ; but at that time the weavers in the neighbourhood went to him in a body of some hundreds , and requested him to advance the wages as much as he baa reduced them . Either from fear or rtmine he agreed to their proposal ; but afterwards he only laid on part of what he had taken oiL Aked is Chief Constable of the township , a great enemy to Chartists , a liberal Whig , a Corn Law repealer , and a great fritcd to the i ? ew Poor Law and ibe Baetile system .

HfrPT * KMtf Ef ttT * i 'SoiMoire ton WAGES .-On TueBday U last , John m t » * ? £ ' summoned before the magistrates Mr . Joseph Norton , of Clayton-west , manufacturer , so notorious for lowering the weaver ' s wa&es at any time he thinks proper , to shew cause why he would not pay him the balance due at the same price he had done other work , Mr . Norton wanting to pull mm off threepence per yard , without the least notice . Norton brought three men and an attorney to defend his caw , but bo glaring was the fraud , that the magistrates immediately decided in favour of the weaver . All the schemes were tried to get it carried to the Bessions , b y appeal , but to no use , so the great Mogul of the West will be bound to Bubmit togive the labourer his right . It is to be hoped all others who are taken advantage of in the same manger , will seek redress . ¦ HpppsagygsQ ¦ •' ' - , ^ r ™ ° * WAOBS .-On *^ -- ** - Smith , m , mam . mmmnn ^ w , >— n . 1 ~~ J-ZlZJ .
Thb Exhibition . —Our Exhibition has again opened for a second season under new arrangements , with an addition of a great number of rare specimens of art , &c , the committee reserving for itself three nights , and at the same time raising the price double . The major part of the public , who have been the greatest supporters have taken umbrage at this part of their proceeding , and in all probability is likely to be a complete failure of their expectations . They have announced for music and other entertainments to gratify the very persons who have received all the benefit , and , as the tale goes , to exclnde those who ought to enjoy any extra pleasures Bince the opening , the committee have had a special" meeting to try to compromise , but seeing the enormous expense they have been at , are compelled to try the experiment : but no doubt it will be a failure .
Hcddersfield Faib , —Our fair has passed over in a manner which has disappointed those who generally are gainers by other people ' s folly . The cattle shown on the first day was of a very inferior sort , and only a thin attendance of buyers . The day following , when it was expected there would be a large attendance of country people ., a little before noon the rain began to fall in torrents , and continued the whole of Friday and Saturday , and the publicans , shopkeepers , and all others have experienced Very little difference to their ordinary way of business .

The smaH pittance of funds which were on hand are now exhausted p * nd we think it a duty incumbent < n every man and woman who wishes the Charter to ^ e the law \ of the land , to step forward , and render every assistance to thoae poor individuals whose Wusbands am . now labouring under the servile degradation of being ranked among common felons , under the silent systern , for daring to assert their rights as British citizens . ' Barnsley wants only a systematic plan laid down , and her sons will act upon it . They are not to be put down , nor ever will be , uutil they get the Charter , the whole Charter , and nothing less than the Charter . ¦
Awful Accident . —Last week , a young man , named Thos . Cocker , aged twenty-three , was amusing himself with his brother , and Mr . Newton , hia brother-in-law , by shooting at penny-pieces , at bis father ' s residence , Casseth Hill ; when tired of iamusement , they retired to the house , and as he was , in the act of laying down his gun upon a mapgle iir the kitchen , Borne portion of the mangle caught the trigger , and the contents » f the gun , which wte then loaded , were lodged in his abdomen , which caaaed his death in two hours afterwards . 1 ¦ ¦> ' -
SBEFFXSU ) . v Fatal Accidekt . —Thomas Ward Cocker , a ^ ed twenty-three years , eldest son of Mr . James Cocker , of Keresforth , near Barnsley , was last Wednesday putting away a loaded gun over a mantle in the lauudry , when he struck the hammer against a roller , which , firing the percussion cap , discharged the contents into his body , after which ho survived only two hours and a half . This melancholy accident , is the cause of great grief to his remaining friends . Highwat Robbery . —On Saturday evening , between the hours of twelve and one o ' clock on Sunday morning , as Mr . Reuben Rodgers , of Norton , was returning home from Sheffieldhe was attacked by
, three meu , between the bottom of Derbyshire-lane and the dwelling-house occupied by Miss Shore ' s gardener , and robbed of one sovereign , one halfcrown , a sixpence , and stme marketings he had been making ; in a scuffle to get his watch they were overheard by J . Baines and T . Boot , who happened to be near the front of the gardener ' s house ; they immediately leaped the fence , and proceeded to Rodgers ' s assistance ? the thieves hearing the tinkling of some bells which Boot had about him , took to their heels ; they were instantly pursued , wheu one of them , named Wm . Bowlder , alias Boulding , was apprehended . Further assistance was soon at
hand , but the other two effected their escape ; Bowlder waa taken the same morning to William Shaw , the constable of Norton . Shaw asked him what money he had on him , when he said about three or four fhillings . On searching him , however , a sovereign , balf-a-crown , and sixpence was found ujton ^ tHft , exactly the amount Vtr * x " - > Trip rnlihip of . Early on Sunday morning , all the marketwgft were fonud near the spot where tlie robbery was committed ; also some rough bludgeons , cut from stakes , which the thieves had evidently left behind them . The prisoner was expected to be examined yesterday before Sir George Sitwell at Renishaw .
BRADFORD . Bradford Charter Association . —On Monday evening last , the Bradford Charter Association held its weekly meeting , at the house of Mr . R , Carrodus , North Tavern , North-Btrect , Wapping . It was a most delightfully harmonious meeting . The old friends of radicalism are beginning to rall y once m- > re around the standard of Democracy with renewed hope , and an increased determination to perseverance , but in a more prudent manner , until the great object of their united wishes shall be fully achieved . A good addition was made to the number of members , and the following resolutions were
unanimously passed : —1 . " That a committee be appointed to correspond with the out-townships , in reference to holding a public meeting for the Bradford district , on Whit-Monday , ( or some day in Whitsun week , as convenience may serve . ) The committee having been appointed , arrangements were made for visiting the out-townships personally . " 2 . " That a ppecial meeting of the Association be held on Wednesday , the 27 th bst ., to receive the committee ' s report from the out-townships . " We understand that the regular weekly meeting of the Association will be held on Monday evening next , at the usual place .
I he Cork Law Humbug . —Petitions against the Corn Laws , we understand , are now being introduced into the machine sbope , &c , in this town , bv the masters , who kindly request their men and apprentices to sign . The petitions purport to be the spontaneous effusions of the operatives of such and such a firm , the very reverse of which , no doubt , is the fact . Our infoimant i-aw ono which expressed the regret and dismay of the petitioners at the result of the late discussion on those laws in the House of Commons , while , at the same time , he knew that a majority of them felt no concern in the matter whatever . It al 90 affirmed the palpable falsehood that a repeal of the Cutu Laws in ihe onl y remedy likely tj relieve the distresses of the country . Several firms have dismissed their men that refund to sign the petition .
Embezzlement . —Embezzlement is becoming fa-6 hionable amonget those styling themselves rtspc-ctaWtB . A few daya ago , Air . John Aekroyd , of Clayton Height * , a respectable manufacturer , aud W . Pitte , of Windhill , were each convicted in the penalty of £ 20 , for embezzlement . On Saturday in the night , Fairfax Smith , and John Holdaworth , were-seiztwl by the Inspectors , near Bowling , witb-a quantity of wool in their peBsesskra , of wfitehrthes Would give no account—Committed for one moqcn Richard Wilkinson , for a similar offence , the same period .
Fatal Accidekt . —On ( Wednesday last , a child a year and a half old , named Horafall , residing at Frizinghall , near this town , was killed by falling down the chamber tteps . From what we can learn , it appears the mother of the child had gone out with some clothes , and left the child to the care of an older sister , who had permitted it to creep to the top of the steps , from whence it fell . It arrived about two hour * afterward * . Accidbst . —Oa Saturday last , a child about six years of age , the son of a tailor , residing in
Kingstreet , Manchester-road , was run over in Tyrrefi street , by a cart laden with Band . The boy at the * time was endeavouring to avoid a stage coach , and by that means ran in the direction of the cart , one of the wheels passing over his head and body . Bat little hopes are entertained of his recovery .

Teetotallers . —It is reported that there is a split amongst the teetotallers in this town , three reverend gentlemen belonging to the Established Church having sent in their resignations . The following are the individual * : —The Revs . Messrs . Bull , Morgan , and Bardslev . We understand the reason of this withdrawal is because Roman Catholics are allowed the same privilege as Protestants in this society . Bradford Markbis , Thursday , May 21 . —Wool Market—There is no new feature in this market : the sameduluess that we have recently noticed still prevails , and although the supply , of wool continues Jight , even late prices are with difficulty supported .

KEIGBLEY . Cumwal Neglect . —The want of a sufficient number of clergymen to perform the necessary duties required by the parish , has been for some time back more than unusually apparent . On Wednesday week , two funerals arrived at the Church , at about three o ' clock in the afternoon , with the usaal understanding , that one of the persons paid and appointed for such occasions , would be ready to wsist in going through with the burial service . No person of that description , however , made hisappearanoe , although it was well known at the time that a Rector and two Curates were somewhere in the neighbourhood . The persons attending the funeral , after waiting some two hours in the Church , began to express signs of uneasiness at their disagreeable confinement , and the clerk , who appeared as uneasy
as any of them , only succeeded , about six o ' clock in the evening , in detecting one of the absentees , and bringing him up to the performance of his duty . Siuce then , we understand , a similar occurrence has taken pla : e in a wedding . The couple , after due notice and time appointed , presented themselves at the Church aud appeared in good humour for going through with the business . After waiting a long time for a parson , and none making his appearance , the wedding heat necessary for joining two iutu oue , began to wear off , aud the couple at last walked out , the female observing , that thev would take the opportunity of calling again on the * following day , whfcu the parson would perhaps be more at liberty t » wait on them . How it happens that a Rector and two Curates cannot find time to wait on their parishioners oa such occasions , we cannot tell , but we rather apprehend that , had the parties moved in a higher rank of life , they would have been better attended to .
o . Thr Mb * called Gtjabdians . —The following specimen of the nature ofjtbe New Poor Law , in UtTtendency ty reduce wages * occurred , la&t week at a Guardian meeting . Amongst the Unfortunate Indivijfuals who presented themsAws before " the fciguet body , at their weskHf ^ neetiog , -was a met * a « oy at presefcf enrpToyed on the roads at six * hiBiriK *> $ fcj » reek . To realise thiB enormous sum , ^ W man hid been working ten ho drs per day , but fine Board-vkindly informed him that to earn the Bam * amount iu fumre he would have to work twelve , hours per day . The man had the hardihood to remonstrate at this unpleasant intelligence , and observed that to all appearance they were determined not only to " pine him to death , but to work
mm to death also . Well , my good friend , said a well known gentleman of the Board , how much night Jour weekly earnings be when at your own employment ! About twenty-six shillings , said the man . Twenty-six shillings , said the saint , ( for he is great professor of religion ) well , I declare , what a pass things were getting to ! It was e ' en high time for an alteration . Oh , dear t Now , my good fellow , my advieeto you i 6 , thai you go to your old employer , and tell him that you have been under the necessity of working at a very laborious employment on the roads , for six shillings per week , and that you will be thankful to work for him again at a great reduction of wage * . On the man refusing to comply with this villauous proposal , he was dismissed , as an incorrigible , with an increase of two hours per day to bis labour .
Corn Laws . —The manufacturers of this town , we understand , are commencing an anti-Corn L » w agitation upon a somewhat novel mode . Every employer is to get up a separate petition , and after signing it himself , is to present it to his workmen , with a request that they will do the same , a certain consequence being understood in case of refusal . This plan ib at present being acted upon in one or two factories ; and , through its highly liberal and extensive nature , cannot fail in converting a great number of the workpeople to the opinion of the
employers . The labouring class of this part , who are at present writh&jri&dar the influence of bad laws , produced by the ^^^ ntatives of these same gentlemen , have hiSierW fought shy of the measure . They appear to imagine that when their employers are particularly anxious for any political object , there is either a New Poor Law , a Police Bill , or a reduction of wages in the background ; but this honourable and business-like way of demanding their votes will , no doubt , remove all suspicion , and make them rejoice in being again able to lend a hand in assisting the men who have raised them to their present glorious state of freedom and happiness .
ROGBDAIVS . CoMHi 88 iOKERs' Rooms . —Oa Saturday last , the Commiswoners ' Rooms were crowded to hear the examination of a ^ pers on named James H wood , the owner of twentjy or thirty dwelling-houses in this borough , and who keeps one of the principal boot and shoe establishments in the town , who was taken up on a charge of having stolen a small ledger about two-ahillbgsyahie , from the shop of Mr . E . Wrigley , h& tenant and next door neighbour . The principal # < & >*»— -agailtet him were Wngley ' s two sppre&r . ttcee , E . Butterworth and John jBriearley ; It ap- peared on evidence , that Hopwood wan in the habit
or daily going into the shop , aud on Friday morning the apprentice , John Briearley , swore that he saw him ( the prisoner ) take the book iu question from the shelf . A great number of articles had at different times been missing from the premises , but by whom taken was a secret . Since the apprehension of Hopwood , the whole town has been quite in consternation , to think a man who is possessed of such property , and an attender on religious ordinances , should be guilty of such mean acts of pilfering . He was committed to take his trial for the offenceT > y Mr . George Ashworth , magistrate , but admitted on bail , himself in £ 100 , and two other sureties in £ 50 each .
House Breakers . —On Saturday morning , about one or two o ' clock , the house of Mr . Edward Thompson , shopkeeper , Ludden Brow , near this town , vraa feloniously entered by some villains , who could not gain an entrance by the door , took out some of the windows of the larder , where they regaled themselves with several bottk' 8 of wine and some ale : they made attempts to gain an admittance into the other part of the premises , bat their efforts proved fruitless , as the door was too well secured ; they , however , carried away with them half of a large cheese , one firkin of butter , som «
tobacco , some bottles of ale , « fec . From eome information which the police obtained , they apprehended Edmund Kirby and Wm . HoldeD , two well known thieves , and John Duxbury and John Lee , two of their associates . On Tuesday they underwent an examination before George Aehworth , Esq ., but as no positive evidence was adduced against the three former , they were dismissed upon their own recognizances , but the police having found the cheese and an iron Jemmy corresponding with the marks upon the doors , at Thompson ' s house , in the smithy , belonging to Lee , he was committed to take his trial for the offence , at the next Salford Sessions .
Blessings op tub Poor Law . The following may be relied upon as a fact . On Friday night last an old woman , who stated her name to be Hannah Oldfield , agei near sixty-eight , made application for a night ' s shelter , to a poor person in this town , under the following circumstances . She stated that nhe was oa her way from her parish , Eminaden , in Yorkshire , to Oldham , her residence , but being penny less and fatigued ,-she could not go f » r ; bor having walked about twenty miles that day without any kind of refreshment except a pipe of tobacco which she had had given her . Distress had driven her to seek parochial relief , and she had walked from Oldham to her parish in an old pair of clogs seventeen several times for her allowance , all of which
ajtytnnted to £ 2 18 s . 6 d . ; tho length which she had travelled fox the above Bum , and upon which she had * Nupport'herself when at home , was 6 ^ 0 miles . rBejng wearied in this way , she had about three weeks ago sone to reside on the spot , where the Guardians aHowed her Is . 6 d . per week , or 2 £ d . per day , to eubgut upon ; but now she did not get this in money , she got a ticket for one shilling at a time to go to a shop for what she wanted ; but the articles were charged above the regular prices , bacon being 8 . Jd . per ponnd ; butter 2 d . or 3 d . per pound more than the regular price , and during the time she bid been there , she had only slept in a bed eight or nine time * , and sometimes she had to walk near two miles to get the indulgence of a bed , and be under obligation to some friend .

ASaTOH * Public Memcik «—We had a meeting new On Thursday , the 14 th mat ., on behalf of the Stockporl turn-out weavers , when two delegates from Stockport addressed the meeting . One of them (» female ) made a powerful appeal on behalf of the brave men and women of Stockport , which was responded to by the passing a resolution expressive of their determination to assist them through this struggle of right against might and followed by a second imposing upon every pair of looms Is . contribution per fortnight , so long as they remain out . It is notorious that while they are attempting to reduce the price of labour the price of goods is enhanced in the market , a fact sufficient to satisfy every man , possessed of common sense , that the masters are determined to sacrifice every principle of justice and humanity , as well as to convince the working classes . . .. .. ¦ . .. . rhHM , 4 *« th *\ Urii ina * /» . ^ Voi /^ A ^ TW-Iy ! ^ on
themselves , that if their condition in 8 oeiety * is to be made better , it must be the work of their own hands . We had another mseting on Friday evening , to take into consideration the beat means to be adopted , to iret back a reduction that has been made upon the wages of the spinners of . about 15 per cent . The town was placarded , calling upon the middle orders to assist us ; as also letters of invitation to the ministers of the gospel to attend . Not one of the latter made their appearance , and only four of the shopkeepers ; thus giving us another proof © 1 the sympathy of the middle classes for the half fed , and over-worked masses of the British Empire . There is no hope for us but in the realisation bf the never-to-be-forgotten motto of that martyr to the cause of the poor , Fear # is O'Connor—Univsrsal SUFFRAGEAMD No SURRENDER !

MEETING OF THE CENTRAL ASSOCIATION OF TRADES . On Friday last , a meeting of the Committee of this body took pla . - « at the Bell Inn Old Bailey , for the purpose of considering an application made to them by the Wellmgborough boot and shoemakers , relative to a strike in which the latter body ate engaged . The following is a brief abstract of the statement submitted to the meeting : —
" The men have been on strike eleven weeks , which has been carried on with all the vigour and determination which the capital of the employers enables them to maintain . The strike commenced by three of the employers attempting to reduce th « men ' s wages ,, whic jyjMlaUermto » ptly resisted tBefr average eartifajtsteing i& > t wore than teto shillings per week . Those three shops could and would have beaten by the men ' s own resources , but , in twelve days after , five other employers closed their Bhops against their men . This thr # w the latter into an expensive and general strike , depriving above 200 men of all employment . By the kind support , however , of the metropolitan boot and shoomakers , as well as those of Northampton Daventry , and the villages adjacent , tho men have been enabled to stand out hitherto ; and are determined to continue to do bo , if supportedalthough they are
suf-, fering great privations : tho allowance for women , aud children above twelve years of ag « , -2 ? . per week ; for children under twelve , Is . per week . 5 canty as this pittance i « , it is received with ehoerfulnets : the men knowing , from past experience , that if they are compelled to give in , the misery they r . ow endure will be happiness itself compared to what they will then be made to endure . However , not to leave any step untried that might lead to a pacifio settlement , the men addressed a most temperate aud very respectful letter to the employers , offering to resume work on the terms agreed on , on the lhh of Juno last . In the evening of tho pame day , an answer was returned in these words : — " We , the manufacturers , have agreed not to employ any workmen who belong to the Union , or Flint Club . "
The foregoing statement having been read to the meeting by Mr . Barratt , tho Secretary , the following address was unanimously resolved to be cent to the various Trades' Societies , aud the public prints favourable to the cause of labour : — Fellow-workmen —We , the Central Association of Trade ? , call upon you , with confidence , in the name of humanity , not to suffer so useful a body of men as the Welliugborough boot and shoemakers to be sacrificed to the caprice of their unfeeling employers ; tor , be assured , that if they succeed in this instance , in reducing men ' s wages to less thau teu
BuilUugs a-week , aud in destroying their Union , ( which is formed for benevolent purposes alone ) , it will stimulate other mercenery employers to make the same attempt ; for it must bo borne in mind that great efforts have been made to accomplish the destruction of Trades' Unions in London , —but , thanks ' to ( he uniting zeal of those concerned , tho London Trades Societies stand in an honourable position . We , then , fellow-workmen , respectfully submit that win n men are actually stripling witn oppression , it becomes the duty of every lover of liberty ana justice to render their aid in the good cause . "
Donations and communications will be thankfully received by Mr . P . Sheffield , Secretary of the " Fliut Club , " Boot Inn , Wellingborough , Northamptonshire .

m FRQM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , Quarter to Stven o ' clock . Citt and Comhebcial News . —The decision on Lord Stanley ' s Bill has created considerable sensation in all quartern this morning , and in none has the effect been more strongly felt than in the Stook Market . The abundance of money , however , still continues , thoueh a temporary * unhtnes 8 " is occasionally experienced when a larger supply is required than is proportionate to the small amount of Bank notes now in circulation . The Bank of England pursues the same cautious policy in refraining from affording any stimulus to remove the dullness of trade by any reduction in the rate of interest . The depressed state of the foreign exchanges renders
this caution , perhaps , necessary ; and there is no reason to believe that what ia known as the reduced " value of money , " arises from any extension of the Bank circulation , either present or contingent . 2 J to 3 per cent ia the current rate . Previous to tho announcement of the result of last night ' s division the English market , presented great nioiness , and a considerable advance was noticed ia the quotations , notwithsanding the rumours of a new loan being necessary for State purposes . The amount of stock floating in the market for come time having been gradually absorbed by small investment ^ the public , it is now difficult topurchasn , to any extent ,, without making a sensible impression on prices .
