We glory in beholding man rising from , his slumber , tA * y ™ g off bis doll and gtsgerwtt tranquillity , and preparing to work for the joodof his brother man . We bin it as a bright harbinger of the future , as the dawn that ushers in the glorious light of day , and dispels the dark obscurity « f night .

They "will find grievances that demand JBBBediate redress—wrongs that cannot exist conpgtently with the safety of man—and , above all , rights that are hidden from their view , and are trampled upon , but that once treated -with care and ttfidemess , once exerted , once called into action , would change the face of the empire , and convert the wilderness into a paradise , the wretched hovel kto a happy cot , and the land of Elavery into the sea-girt home of freemen !

      THE "BLASPHEMY" PROSECUTIONS . Os Monday last , Mr . A . Hiywood , bookBeller , of Manchester , against whom an indictment for ¦ Blasphemy" had been found , appeared , in the Sessions-House , Salford , to take his trial for the alleged offence . The case having been called upon , Dt . Bkowhe , on behalf of ta > ^ Sjwrera » 0 nt , ( in whose name the prosecution , had been instituted )

      ¦ tated to the Cour t that he had instructions to the effect , that if Mr . Hsytfood would withdraw his pka of " Not Guilty , " and enter one of " Guilty , " no judgment of the Court would be then asked for , bat he should be liberated on his own recognizance to appear for judgment when called upon . Of eosifee Mr . Hxrwoos accepted the offer , and was bound in his own recognizance of - £ 30 o for the purpose above-mentioned .

      PrevioaB to this being done , Mr . Cobbett , who speared for Mr . Hbtwood , stated that he had an abjection , which , he contended , would be fetal to tbe Record , and which would render it impossible tor the Court to pass any sentence upon it at any time . Dr . Bbowks demurred to their going into the discussiom of the point jost then ; aod the Court , after some little sparring between Dr . Bbownb and Mr . Cobbkit , reserved the point for discussion when Mr . Hkttfood was called up for judgement , should be ever lew called upon ,

      We are extremely glad that this prosecution has gone off in the manner it has . Such prosecutions are most unwiBe : they always have failed to secure tie end sought by their means ; and always will do : a proof sufficient of their folly , while to show the danger of the present state of our " blasphemy " kws to all connected with the bookselling and pub-IshiBg business , we may mention , tfrat at these ¦ me Session * in Salford , three other true bills of indictment have b « en found b y the Grand Jury against three of the most respectable booksllers of Manchester ; vii ., Mr . Sowlkh , proprietor and publisher of the Manchester Conner ; Mr . Aubrey , a Methodist , we

      believe ; and Mr . Haywaud , of the firm of Bakc&s aod Co , all Conservatives , we believe . The work fir the Belling ef which these parties are indicted , b Shallot ' s Queen Mob ; a work before-time itemed and held by the Jud ge * to be blasphemous Whether these prosecutions have been instituted for ihepurpo 3 e of demonstrating the foll y and danger of ( he laws respecting Blasphemy ; or for the purpose ef teaching the Bookselling Trade that " Blasphemy" is still H Blasphemy , " whether sold by a Tory or Radical Bookseller , we know not : but this w » hwede > 1 m * w : tffey win AW theater InBesnrity of every Bookseller under the present state of ihe law , and lead , we hope , to a combined effort amongst themselves to provide a remedy .

      Again we say we are glad that Government have taken the course they have in Mr . Heywood ' s case : and we hope they will follow that course out in the tases of Messrs . Watsok and HETHEaiMGros , of London , against whom indictments are found , for ¦ ailing copies of the same work as Mr . Hetwood old ; andwearesure aseHseof justice will dictate , that after the treatment adopted towards Mr . Hetwood , Jo keep Mr . Cleats in prison another hour is to betray the greatest impartiality , and inflict a grievous wrong .

      Should Government sot follow oat this coarse , we would call upon the Booksellers throughout it © whole eountry to take up the question with spirit and determination , and free themselves from the great danger in which they axe placed . From information we have received , we believe that nearly all the leading booksellers in town and country are a the situation of Messrs . Sowleb , Ambebt , and HxrwiiD , of Manchester , witn this exception : in the latter ease true bills against them have been found ; fc the other they may be ; and should they not step forward to prevent any member of their body falling a sacrifice to the foolish law of " Blasphemy , " they will be rightly Berved shoold they themselves be aade to experience its " tender mercies . " " A hint to the wise is sufficient "

      -The proceedings of

      this body are important . We call the especial attention of our readers to them . The following is their address to the Radicals of the Empire : — Bbotheb Radicals , —It cmnot be neceBsarj that we should attempt to prove that all our exertions have hitherto proved abortive entirely in eon » equence-oF our having no common centre of action . One part , of the kingdom h&i been pursuing one thing at one time , and another part another thing ; and thug , for want of some centralizing and directing power , t « concentrate the energies or the people , and U bring them to bear unitedly , and at once , upon the given point of . action , ¦ we have spent our strength for noughtand nave again

      , fallen prostrate into tie hands of our encmiea . Without something of thla kind can be accomplished , and that , not for a district , but for the nation , the salvation of our country is utterly Hopeless . Our agitation , if earned on without reference to a common object , and "Without being directed by , and to , a common focus , will again end in the most bitter disappointment , and the certain incarceration of # nr best men . Let us , then , at the least , learn wisdom by misfortune . L « t us endeavour to form a system whi « h Bhall vibrate from the centre to the extremities , and from the extremities to the centre , at the

      shortest notice . If liberty be worth having ; if our homes be worth protecting ; if our wWes , rendered dear by misfortune—if they , and the smiling cherubs at their bosoms , be worth a husband ' s or a father ' s care , let us make one more cool but determined effort to rescue them from the hands of their oppressers . But , if they be not worth our care ; if liberty be not -worth having ; if our homes be not worth protecting ; if , conjointly , they be not worth making some sacrifice for , Jet ns cease to pursne bo worthless a thing as the Suffrage ; bnt Jet us for the future glory in our chains , and from this day coasign Radicalism to the tomb of all the Capuleta .

      LEEDS . Theatke . —Since the production of Pierce Egan ' s " Tom and Jerry , " at the minor theatres of the Metropolis , no piece has created a greater sensation among the population of London than the burletta of Jack Shevpard , dramatised from Mr . Ainsworth ' s celebrated novel . Its great success in London has induced many provincial managers to produce it , and amongst them Mr . Hooper . Jack Sheppard made his bow to a Leeds audience , for the first time , on Monday evening last ; he was welcomed with shouts of applause , and has repeated his visits every night since , to the great amusement and delight of

      hisnumeronB natrons . His romantio adventures and hair-breadth ' scapes are too well known to the public to require any description from us ; we . will therefore content ouwelveB withatating that he has found an efpeient representative in Mr . Higgle . We have seldom heard more hearty or better-deserved applause than that which attended his efforts through the last act , on that particular eveniag we graced the Theatre by our presence . HLs friend Blueskin ( Mr . L . S . Thompson , ) ably seconded the efforts of his precious babby ; " and tleaving his powers of voice out of the question ) we doubt whether Paul Bedford himself is a jnore able . penonificstor of 4 he "jolly red nose / ' Mr . and' Mrs . Lan *

      . ve also deservingof special notieetwid Mr . E . Jotfee walks through his part in a very pleasant and agreeable manner . We are delighted to be able to com- ' pliment Mr . Hooper on the manner in which this piece has been produced ; for with such pains as have evidently been bestowed on the rehearsals , a very tolerable tout ensemble would be produced with actors much inferior te those who compose the present company . With respect to the meritH of the piece itself , we will merely Btate that the coarseness and vulgarity of the heroes and heroines is compensated by a succession of really clever dramatic Bcenea , whose interest never flagB for a moment . Some have censured the piece because the hero is a burglar , and his associates ( especially amon * tfca

      softer sex ) no better than they should be . The same objection has been frequently urged against the mgeniouB Gay ' s celebrated opera ; but that has not prevented it from holding possession of the stage for the better part of a century . Some allowance , however , must be made for the originality of the latter . Jack Sheppard is , after he has lefc Wood ' s shop , out a Brummagem counterfeit of Macheath ; while his two wives , P # « Maggot aud Edgeworth Bess , are not fit to hold a candle to Polly Peachum and Lucy Lockit . There are many pieces , however , less worth seeing than " Jack Sheppard , " and we believe its production will prove a successful speculation on the part of the manager . There have been no other novelties since our last worth recording .

      Horhible Mprder and Suicide . —We have this week to record two frightful catastrophes , reports of which have simultaneousl y reached us . The first is the murder of a wife by her husband , named tingell , residing in Clerkenwell , who subsequently destroyed himself . They were proceeding along Compton-Btreet , quarrelling , when he cut her throat with a razor . He then cut hU own throat , and fell upon her bod y . They both expired shortly afterwards . They had lived a part for some time ; and he had just previoml y met her by accident . — The other murder took place at Flenith , near Easinjfwold , in this county , where a young woman , named Hester Watson , aged forty , strangled her own mother in a fit of religious enthusiasm . She haB been committed to York Castle to take her trial for the offence .

      Ikportakt to Secret Societies . —Ou Wednesday last , a trial took place at the Small Debts' Court , between the Trustees of the Armley Loyal Harmonic Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows , and John Hudson , of Armley , who had been their treasurer , for the sum of £ 15 . Mr . C Naylor was for the plaintiff , and Mr . Bond for the defendant . The Court overruled the case , on the grounds that thfttodety was an illegal society , a partnership concern , and that it was not enrolled . We understand that the society had reduced the sum from 43 6 J 2 S . JOd . to £ 15 . for the purooie « f entering tfMTcise in a . gmall Debt Court . ™

      Rb Joan Prescott . —Thehearing of the Bankrupts' Petition , in the Court of Review , for the annulling of this fiat , came on on Monday last , but was adjourned on the application of William CockUl , the assignee , to the 12 th instant . Death by Burning . —On Monday afternoon , a little girl , three years of age , named Sarah Hollingworth , whose parents reside at Armley , contrived , during the absence of her mother , to set her clothes on fire , by which she was bo areadfully burnt as to cause her death in the Leeds Infirmary on Tuesday morning .

      Stealing Lead . —On Tuesday , Henry Grunwell was charged before the magistrates , at the Court House , with having stolen a quantity of sheet lead , the property of Mr . Ingham , who occupies a farm at WoodhouBe-hill , Hunslet , belonging to Christopher Beckett , Esq . The magistrates Bent the case to the gesidona , but admitted the prisoner to bail . Stealing a Waistcoat . —On Saturday , Benjamin Rinder was brought up before the magistrates , at the Court House , and charged with having on Thursdav evening , stolen a satin waistcoat , from the shop of Mr . Broadbent , in Vicar-lane . The property was identified by Mr . Broadbent , and Rinder was committed for trial . He has hitherto borne an excellent character , aud bail was accepted for his appearance .

      Lbuei / tt to a Parish Apprektice . —On Friday , Joseph Gainee , a shoemaker , residing on the WelliDgton-road , appeared before the magistrates , to answer a charge preferred against him by Joshua Wood , a boy thirteen years of age , who has been in his service ae a parish apprentice for about a year and seven months . The case was brought before the bench at the instance of the Leeds overseers , and as proved by the complainant and several of the defendants s neighbours , presented one of the most flagrant cases of cruely we have ever known . It appears that on one occasion the defendant tied the boy up by the thumbs for twenty minutes ; on another , by one leg , for an hour , with two lasts in his hands :

      that he has frequently flogged him till the blood streamed down bis back ; that on Tuesday , he struck him with a boot , containing a last , such a violent blow over the arm as to render him incapable of raising it to his head ; that he locked him upon Sundays ; and during the whole nineteen monthi he had Berved him , never furnished him with any clothes . In defence , he charged the boy with telling lies , and spoiling his work ; he denied that he had tied him up as stated , but had threatened to do ; he had admitted , however , baying flogged him . Mr . Cadman said the bench considered that such conduct could not be borne , and they should order the boy to be discharged from his service , and the defendant to pay £ 10 to the overseers . - ~

      £ 296 14 6 This all appears very plausible , and would pass of very well , if the following paragraph did not make its appearance : — " From the 12 th of March , to the 25 th of April , when your committee were compelled to close their operations , between fifty and sixty individuals were daily employed in repairing the streets and roads in and about the town . ThiB ib all very fine , and the 500 families besides , which received temporary relief , swells it up like the frog in the fable until it ruins and destroys itself . Our first proposition will be to inquire what these fifty orsixty individuals worked for ; the next will be , how these individuals were paid , and what credit

      was given for their works ; or how much was remitted of the improving rate on account of said labour . Now these men ' s wages was 21 b of bread , and 51 b of potatoes each , making about 6 d . per day ; and supposing them to earn 9 d . each per day ; admitting these oxen to work forty days each , in repairing said roads , that would bring £ 90 more into the fund , what account is there given of the labour performed by these poor unfortunate Helots , or is it going to be burked like the Sberwell property , which , as we understand , wasBolely left for the benefit of the poor , and though valued at £ 200 per annum , the poor are degpoiled of it .

      BRADFORD . Inquest . —On Monday last , an inquest was held at the bouse of Mr . Bailey , the White Bear Inn , Bradford Moor , on the body of a child , two years of age , son of James Jarratt , of that place . On the Saturday previous , the child , along with ethers , was p laying on the road , when a horse and cart belonging to William Parratt , was proceeding on the road , tb , e driver being behind , and not perceiving the child , it was knocked "down by the horse , and afterwards trod upon its breast . It died in a few minutes afterwards . The verdict returned was according to the facts of the case , with a deedand of £ 2 upon the horse .

      Men of Bradford , —Be aware , Harrison , abas Smith , the spy , is yet in the town ; there is no doubt that he is concocting plans whereby to entrap those WJHfcjmay be silly enough to become his dupes .

Court House . —Comhittals . —James Wilson , and

      Joshua Craven , both of Pudsey , were brought up at the Court House , charged with stealing a quantity of cloth , the property of John Hudson , of Bramley . The charge being fully proved , the prisoners were committed for trial . Same day , two persona of the names of Langley and Horsfall , of PudBey , wore brought up , charged with having paid bank notes , which had been stolen from the person of William Proctor , of the same place . It appeared that the pr isoner Langley had offered one of the notes , which was identified , and he was committed for trial . Horsfall was remanded for further evidence .

On arriving at the scene of action , a more than usual number of hens and cocks were present , when Talbot discharged the gun , which burst ; the breech of which entered his head and fractured his skull ; the butt end of the gun was shivered to pieces . Report says that _ one eye is completely blown out and the other seriously injured ; faint hopes were at first entertained of his recovery , but at the time we write , some signs of improvement are visible .

O'Connor ' s place of confinement , a meeting was held in Liveraedge , on Tuesday evening , at which , appropriate resolutions were passed , and speeches made , which displayed talent and argumentation that would have stood a comparison , and even eclipsed the principal part of the speakers in the House of Commons ; and had it been possible for Mr . O'Connor to have been seen , the enthusiasm and sympathy evinced by the meeting , and the progress of the principles for which he is incarcerated , would have done his heart good , though he is immured in dungeon . Petitions are adopted and are in course of signature , and will be immediately forwarded for presentation .

The brothers and sisters of the Guild were in their full regalia , and the room was decorated with several handsome Ban and banners . Mr .

Buhner , a convert to the CathoBe Church , who haa , since he became a resident in Hull , rendered important services to the Guild

      which , as a token of its gratitude , presented him by the hands of its worthy warden , with the cloak < fcc of the prd « r . Mr . B . acknowledged the honour in a neat and suitable speech .

      entnnsiaatw eneerittg . He addressed the audience , for some time , in a strain of genuine Christian liberality , which we wish was more generall y cultivated . Mr ; a . referred to the good effected by Father Mathewin Ireland—which elicited much applause At the termination of Mr . Smith ' s address Mr . Kaye again offered himself to the notice of the meeting , and made some forcible remarks upon the subject of total abstinence , stating that he was authorised by Father Mathew to give the pledge in Yorkshire . Several took the pledge in the most solemn manner , including one or two ladies . We have seldom had the pleasure of attending a meeting of a more pleasing character . The Guild is based upon the best and purest principles of Christian be-Hevolencfl ; and we most cordially wish it success . — Ftain oii f Covresptmdent .

Sir , —If it would not be intruding too much upon your most valuable paper , I shall feel obliged if you will insert the following questious to Mr . Burns , he having proposed a national paper at this particular juncture : — What does Mr . Burns conceive the Northern Star to be ! Is that proposition of his devoid of all sinister motives ! If so , where ha = i the people ' s confidence been misplaced m the Northern Start Has not Mr . O'Connor spent nearly the whole of liis fortune in defence of the people ' s rights , and is he not now suffering private imprisonment for the country ' s good t ^ I ^ Mr . Burns will answer those questions in a 'candid and straightforward manner , it may call forth some further obfiervationB . From your humble Servant , „ ,, „ ,, T A Constant Readeb . Huddersfield , June 3 rd , 1840 . ...--. HmiDraBnEi » :

      ^ Boabd Room—The Guardians mnBtered Btrong this morning ; their name 3 being called over , the Rev . Chairman said , as the treasurer , Hugh Watt , Esq ., was dead , it was necessary to appoint another ; therefore , he proposed Geo . Canere , Esq ., manager of the Huddertfield Banking Company , aa a fit and proper person , which was agreedto . Therelieviug officers , not attending again , were to be called in and reprimanded which was accordingly done by the Chairman . Thos . Heaton , col eotor for KirkheatoD , complained that the overseers would not allow him a rate , although he had paid more money than the amount of rate . He said the magistrate would compel them to sian a rate if the Chairman

      would certify that another call to the . Union was due , which was accordingly done . —Dean ; of Almondbury , brought up Thos . Booth and Geo . Hey wood , two paupers , for embezzling flour and malt from the poor house . They were ordered to be taken before the magistrates . Mr . Eastwood , churchwarden , of Meltham , appeared before the Board to know if Beaumont , the collector , had made a charge against him for not granting a rate which he denied ever havlpg been asked for . He understood that » coliector or ttBaisMaWverseer bad a right « to . 'give relief .-above once in cases of absolute necesshy , and theu give the case overdo the relieving officer ; and it appeared , that Beaumont had relieved- a man and

      his family named omedleyforseven suoceseive weeks , amounting ia all to £ 2 12 a . 3 d . Several other cases were shown of a similar nature , one who had received £ 1 16 s . ; another had received £ 3 8 s ., in twenty-two weeks ; and another £ 1 7 a . in eight weeks . A great deal of discussion took place , when the Chairman asked the auditorswhether he knew at the time he sanctioned these accounts they were illegal ! He answered that he knew it was illegal ; but that he had only sanctioned in his accounts what had been confirmed in other officers' acooutitB . The Chairman—** Then _ you erred knowingly . " The anditor— Yes , and this is not the grst time , for if I had , under all circumstances , acted

      according to law , twenty thousand pounds would have been spent since I was auditor , and seventeen thousand of it might have been struck out without appeal . My object has been to bring the law steadily but effectuall into force , in conBonauce with the instructions of the Commissioners to me , without taking advantage of any one . The law is so complicated and difficult to understand , that the various officers of the Union cannot understand it , with the experience they have had , to the strict letter of the law ; and if I am to 1 k ceuaured for having confirmed 30 a . paid to a desolate family by the assistant overseer , what must become of the illegally paid items of all the other officers ! If I have to make the one officer act according to law , I must make all ; which is quite impossible . " A motion was suggested by the Chairman to reprimand and not dismiss ; but the

      Guardians , by a majority of fourteen to nine , ordered the case to be sent to the Commissioners for their confirmation . Mr . Bradshaw , Guardian for Upper Thong , presented ^ bill from Mtb . Ainsworth to the Chairman , for the board and maintenance of herself and nephew , from the time of their election as master aud matron , amounting to £ 28 6 a . It was stated that Mrs . A . was holding the same situation which she previously held , and consequently had no claim ; and likewise that the nephew was insane . Two of the Guardians are appointed to ascertain the fucts . The Board then divided to commence relief . The auditor has prepared his resignation for the next board day . The Clerk and several of the baatilers have been at him , and inviting him to dinner , together with other offers , to prevail upon him to continue ; but even he has declared he will resign .

      Public Meeting . —At a meeting of the committee on TueBday evening , in Dickenaon ' a room , William Barber in the chair , after hearing the report from the Delegate Meeting at Dewsbiry , on Monday , it was unanimously agreed to hold a public meeting in the same place on Monday next , at six o ' clock in the evening , to take into consideration the propriety of sending a delegate to Manchester in July , for the purjHJpB&idop ' tiii K some plan to forward the principleB of the Charter , and the case of treatment to Mr . E , O'Connor , and all the other incarcerated p atriots ; the « hair to betaken precisely at six o ' clock .

      SHEFFIELD . Enfoacrkekt of Bastardy Orders . —Important Proceeding . —William Stentori appeared before the Sneffield Bench on the complaint of the overseers , under the following circumstances : —At the Pontefract Sessions of 1838 , a woman named Ellen Bullaa affiliated her illegitimate child on the defendant , and the Csurt made the usual order for its support . The defendant , however , set the overseers at defiance , and the parish , in supporting thechilo , inourred an expense of £ 3 \ 3 s , 6 d . Mr . Croslaud now applied to the Bench to make an order for the payment of the debt by the defendant , aud in default of compliance , asked the Bench to bind over the

      defendant to appear at the Rotherham Sextons , to answer an indictment for disobeying a lawful order of the magistrates . Tho magistrates being satisfied that such disobedience wa « an indictable offence , required the defendant , in default of payment , to enter into his own recognisance in £ 20 , and find two sureties in £ 10 each , to answer an indictment at Rotherham Sessions , and also bound Mr . Crosland , oh behalf of the overseers , to prefer the indictment . This case ia of much importance . Hitherto orders of bastardy have , in many cases , been evaded , as they can be executed only upon the property of the parties , or by attachment of wages . Bat by this mode of procedure , they pay be imprisoned for disobedience oi tke magistrates' orders .
