LZED 5 . Ofemxg of the Nobtii Midland Railwat to Leeds . —The openicg ot this line of railway , which completes the whole distance from Lc-eds to London , took p ! a < : e on Tuesday but , on whiah occasion , the directors , accompanied by their friends , -to the number of several hundreds , in thirty-four carriages , foawa by two powerful engines , proceeded from Leeds at eight o ' clock in the morning , to Derby irtiere they met the directors of tha : end of the line ! Long before the hoar fixed for starting , the bridges and elevations commanding a view of the line were occupied b y a dense multitude . The arriTal of those who had been favoured wi ; h tiekets was punctual , and by the time announced for starting ( eighl o ' clock ) , all were comfortably seated , and tiu immense train , preceded by its two engines , was Steadil
y set in motion , amidst the plaudits of the assembled thousands . It proceeded at first rather fikffly , &s may well be imagined from its length , but the speed was gradually increased to about fourteen miles an hour . The train armed at Belper , at 14 sihrates before one , stayed four minutes , and at ten minutes past one , stopped within the truly splendid and extensive station , where was presided a cold coHaJion , no wise unacceptable to the travellers . It consisted of every delicacy and variety , with rich ¦ wines . The stay at Derby occupied about an hour , or r&thcr more , i ; being judged necessary to return as soon as possible , on account of the time occupied in the trip . Consequently , at half-past two , the shrill whistle of the engine gave the note of departure The time occupied in the return , however , was not so long as in going . The train left Derby at halfpast two , and arrived in Leeds at five minutes before
ktm ociock—four hours "" and twenty-five minutes , tie disunce being 73 J miles , and the train a quarter of & mile long . It is gratifying to say that not the aigflks ; accident occurred to mar the pleasures of ti « _ day . The line is in admirable order , and the e * s » st , we believe , to travellers , of any which has yet been opened ; for this the public are gre&tly indebted w Mr . Swanwick , the resident engineer , » ad to Mr . Harding , under him , bo : b of whom nave
emoted tneir undriag energies to the final accomplishment of the undertaking . The cost of the nndertaking has teen £ 3 , 000 , 000 ; the first estimate bong £ 1 . 500 , 000 ; the number of men employed , when the works were in full operation , wasfiom 9 , 0 W to 10 , 000 . The erection of bridges and Tiadncte has been one serious item of expenditure , as miy be readily inferred when we state that there are upwards of two hundred of these on the line from Leeds to Derb- ; in addition to which there
seven tunnels , measuring together 11 , 400 feet in « £ gth , uearly two miles . On the return of the « vm toLeeds , aix , ut four hundred ladies and gentlemen proceeded to the Mnsic-HalL in Albion-street , where a Fplendid dinner was set out by Mr . Wilts , of me White Hor 3 e HoteL The viands were of course cold , but comprised every delicacy in great aomdance . Theatre . —The pantomime has been succeeded by the ttdebrated rcm-nitic ballet of the ** Daughter of
. the Dumhe , " ia wbicb Mr . HoweU appears in his original character of Rodo'ph . Besides this gentle-Baa , tee company are assisted by Mr . T . Matthews tod Males . Juliette and Boise , of her Majesty ' s wsiCre , so that the business of the peace goes bravely ° &- The Ftory of the ballet is very well told , and » ae scenery very effective in giving reality to the representation . We perceive by the bills thai the aotse will shortly clo = e ; but we have no reason to beliet e that the season has been hitherto

TODIHOREEN . Police Outrage . —Our happy vale was thrown into a siate of confusion last Fricay morning by our blue bottles behaving in a inort brutal manner to an Irish labourer called Big Jack . He had been wo : king mght-wcrk . and when he gave over in the morning , instead of going to his homp , wnere he would have been safe , he called at the Spring Garden Inn , and while he was getting his social glass , there commenced a row , and he interfered , some way or other , so thai the pubjican called in the blue coated gentrv , the new > et , and those who were stnt by the railwav commissioners too , so that they formed a little army when they were altogether ; " but , with all their strength , the coward villains dare not seize the
Ixianman without charging the company to assist them ; when they thought they had strength sufficient to disperse a multitude , they attempted to put the banacufis upon him ; but & great big booby of a policeman £ .. ; laid &s lew as ihey all ought to be ; and had not the people , who were charged to assist , come to the cowards' assistance , it is thought he would hava driven them all before him and escaped . I have called them cowards , and if the following does not prove them so , I will say that I do not know what a coward is ; when they , by help , had got him fast , they pulled out their truncheons , and three of them laid on to him , left and ri ^ , jnst aB hard as they could ; they broke his head almost to pieces , and
they also broke him ope arm , and in that state he * . va 3 taken before their worships , Mr . Taylor , of Poor-Law nutorietj , and just-ass Mr . prossley , and they fined him ia £ 6 and costs , which amounted altogether to £ 5 5 s ., and the jailor said he had just got fitted right . There is humanity for you There is a deal to t . iy about this Mr . Taylor , but it requires an abler writer than 1 to do it , and I hope some of my town's-people will take it up . I have just heard that the Irishman hu . d died in prison .

D . Ross , on the part of the Anti-Corn-Law Association , will endeavour to prove that an unconditional repeal of the Corn Laws will be a permanent

HUDDSR 8 FXXXD . Incendiahism . —On Saturday evening , after the final close of the Hndderefield Exhibition , an attempt was made to set fire to the Hall . About half-past ten o clock , the door of tke Whig News-room , which is generally closed at ten , being left open , some person ot persona are supposed to have gone in and collected all the newspapers together , and set them on fire by means of a lucifer match . If the incendiaries had had a little more time , there is no doubt but the consequences would have been serious ; but it \ b thought they must haye been disturbed , as nothing but the papers were set fire to . If the furniture had been placed near them , the whole building might have fallen a sacrifice to the devouring element , and the valuable specimens of all the Arts and Sciences in the Exhibition might have shared the game fate . The loss would hare been irreparable . rrm % - auDDBRSFlStD ,

A meeting will be held next Tuesday evening , a ' usual . * ' " Board-Room .-As soon as the Clerk had called over the names , the Rev . Chairman said he thought as their time was so precious , they ought to have a , ciocK m the room , and made a motion to the effect , which was carried . John Noble was appointed co . lectorfor Tnurstonland . Mr . Woodhead said , as their collector for Meltham had been dismissed he uad a . memorial to present to the Board from a tOlVn s meeting , in favour of Mr . Joseph Taylor Mr . Batley recommended John Taylor , but the liiard appointed the former ; thus , for once , complying with tke wishes of tho rate-payers . Mr Llttlewood moved , and Mr . Bull Brings seconded ' a resolution , dismissing Thomas Heaton from the collectorship of tlie township of Kirkheaton . After some conversation , the chairman was about to put me motion , when Mr . Pitkethly wished to make some remarks , but the former , in the face of remonstrcnee , proceeded in tho most audacious manner to put it to the meeting , upon whioh Mr . Pitkethly protested in tho most positive terms against so outrageous a mode of procedure . Mr . Joseph Littlewood said "Woodhead ' s case was similar to the kirkheaton cue , and moved that his dismissal from xJ £ p . llectorsD -P of Shelly township be rescinded . Mr . Piikethly showed that the town was unanimous
for the dismissal of Woodhead , and wanted iheir own collector—that the voice of the rate-payers ought to be attended to—and that they could have the business done for less money , and much beUer done too . On the motion bung put , tho votes were equal . The chairman naid , in consideration of the feeknss of the rate payers he should vote for the motion , thus confirming the dismissal of Woodhead The guardians now proceeded to examine the poor , wiieu , as usual , many cases of extreme hardship wero discovered . Let one be given as an instance : — John Whitwam has been employed at Clayton West for some time , but had boen out of woik for the last six months . This poor man came to Huddersfield for
relief . He was told he must be relieved where he had been residing , and he removed to Hucidersfield with an order . He returned to Skeimanthorpe , and met the relieving officer , who gave him ono shilling and told him to go to John Woodhead , the assistant oversoor , who would remove him with an order . Woodhead appointed to meet Whitwam at llu-ldersfield . He met him accordingly , and was examined by , and swore to hia settlement . Woodhead then demanded that Nicholson ( relieving officer ) should take him . ^ r . nolson refused , and insisted ou having him removed by an order ; eo the poor man had to trudge back to Skelmanthorpe , where he obtained another shilling , and an order to go and get from Woodhead a removal order . Whitwam said
nay , for he had been refused before , and begged hard for an order . At leugth he went again to Isicholson , but it was no go ; and , inttwd of relief , ho was told if ho came there again he would send him to the House of Correction . Thus this man was kept wandering with a bad leg , and otherwise unwell , for three weeks ; aud the whole relief obtained during that time was three shillings . Three shillings for three weeks , and he had to walk abouwsixty miles ! Here are blessings in store for you admirers and supporters of bastiles and starvation ! The poor man came to the Board last Friday and could not support himseli " , but after being repeatedly refused admittance for examination , he hung by the rails , and , at the urgent request of some guaraiau , Nicholson gave him one shilling and the blessings of the blocd-sucking Whics !

William Tilley to move the first resolution , which was as follows : — " That it is the opinion of this meeting that tho great and prevailing distress amongst the woolcombert- , by the recent reduction of wages , calls for their immediate organisation , for the purpose of creating a good understanding betwixt the employer and the empjoyed , with a view to bring about a better state of things .

" Seconded by Mr . Halston , and carried unanimously . A subscription was then entered into to defray the expenses of the meeting , and a handsome sum collected .

" A vote « f thanks was Miven to the Chairman , and the meeting then broke up .

REMOVAL OF THE POOR OF PUDSEY TO THE BRADFORD UNION BASTILE .
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sir , —You -will probably bear in mind the insertion of the resolutions which were unanimously passed at a great public meeting of the rate-payers of PmUey , iu regard to tho removal of the poor from this place to the Bradford Union Biistile . The meeting was called for the purpose of taking the opinion of the rate-payers on the autlcipatcd removal of the poor-house ; the ratepayers soon gave their opinion on the subject , which was this , that they would keep their own poor in thu placo they was wont to reside . If the rmted voice of the rate-pa } « s is to bo htard or heeded , that voice proclaims , trumpet-tocgued , they shall not go ; if the voice of tho rate-poyers is to be but a dead letter , it was nothiDg but a complete niockury of tho Pudiey Guawliar . 3 , to call a meeting at all for the purpose abova mentioned .
It appears tha * , notwithstauding the meeting so called , and the willingness of the rate-payers to pay tluir ratus for tUo support of the poor at home , yot the Bi-i . d orJ Giuirvtian 8 seem bent upon drawing cv- poor awayfiom among us , and intend to immuxe them within the walls of a horrible bastile . On Monday , about midday , a clumsy cart arrive ;! , from Bradford , in order to convey a part of the inmates : " rom their former place of abode to Bradford , llm sky t this time Trore a very gloomy appearance , the clouds now oreseed the atmosphere in sable garments , yet , r . otw ithittiadiug the doleful appearance of the elements , yot more melancholy than they appeared the countenances of tho persons who were doomed , by the Guardians ' mittimus , to be taken from the place iu which they had resided for a considerable time .
The news of vhe arrival spread like wildfire , groups of both malo and fomale were soon proceediag in haste to the pour-house ( if they could not prevent their being removed , ) to take a view of those who were leaving their homes .
Sad home , indeed , yet better that than worse . The principal part of the fwnale sex attended the l'lato for the purpose of hindering their poorer foi ^ nda from being tiken away , which they considered as nothing less than a tymnuical infringement of the rights of the poor , aud a gross and outrageous insu't to the rate-payers themselves . Various were tho conjeeturea . and surmises of the people concerning the legality of the Guardians' proceeding in tueir att-anpt to dr . ig from ua , whon we are willing to maintain them in the village of theitforefathers , the unfortunate companions of our youth , our bosom friends , ourgrandfathers and grandmothers ] our uncles aud auDts , and neighbours , with whom we havo taken " sweet counsel together , " in the more fortunate period of our lives .
But , however , the surmises are now settled by reading the 26 th fcection of the Poor Law Amendment Act , which authorises tha Somerset Cerberus , to perform acts of tho most absolute despotism . Englishmen ! How long is the statute book of England to be disgraced witU bucu a law ? How long are the feelings of the people to be outraged by such displays aa we have -witnessed in this village ? How long are the tender sympathies of our nature to be severed asunder , and tyranny allowed to strike at the root of all that can make life tolerable to persons who are Compelled to Solicit parith relief J li the Bradford Guardians still persevere in their foul endeavours , the people are for taking the plan hatched by the Whigs iu the time of the Reform Bill agitation , viz ., to Btop the bupplies . It is the prevailing opinion in the village , Hint it is tho intent of the Guardians to remove them by stealth , or a few at a time , as they have commenced this d ; iy .
That we may be permitted to keep on our poor-house , and be allowed to support our poor in our own township , is the earnest wish of the writer , James Malunson . PuJsey , June 30 th , 184 'J . P . S . The tiratcart load was suffered to dopait under the Impression that they belonged to Wibaey ; but after these had gone , the ' ro was another person dispatched from Bradford to convey others to the same destination . The alarm was given to the villagers by ringing the Cliff Mill bell , which demanded tbeir presence to prevent any more being takeu away . TUvre -was , however , considerable merriment excited by the persons being no where to bo found , and thus the object of the tender-heaited Givrdhns was frustrated for that time .
Second day ( Tuesday )—The signal was again given by ringing the boll of the I / irge Mill , in Fartown , and very soon tho village was in motion , crowds were seen bending in hasty s : eps their way to the scene of action j it was ; however , ascertained , that it was only an order to remove a man belonging to Idle , and he consequently walked off with the messenger . it Is scarcely possible to conceive the excitement of the minds of the inhabitants on this question ; the people generally vow , with ono accord , that they shall not be taken away , unless they are riven from their grasp by brute force .

Yeoterday . at eleven o'clock , haviug been fixed for the trial or Neesom and Boggle , for a conspiracy . in attending the Bethual lireen meeting , wo attended in the Court of Queen ' s Bench at that hour and there remained , in hourly expectation that tho casev . 'onld be called on . In this , however , we were doomed to be disappointed , for a trial ot anothor species of conspiracy , which disclossd one of tho foulest oases of fraud and perjury ever heard of , occupied the Court the whole day ; and , at the close , ( too late for post ) Z ^ -PM 7 *? ™ » f 5- ¥ «¦• Neesomapplied
- . to his LordBJip to inform tho defendants when their trial would come on . Mr . Justice Coleridge told him it was impossible to calculate ; so that these poor men , after haviug been stripped of their last atom of worldly goods , are now compelled to be pre sent , day ufter day , when they ought to be enjraced in earnine tha daily sustenance of their famiUes without the means of bringing up a single witness lor thoir dctence , or even of telling those who would be willing to come forward voluntarily , the day when their services will be required . Truly , of all the infamous cases of oppression that blacken the WhJe category , thisBethnal-gretn Chartist , police-spy job overtops them all . * *
In the Court of Queen ' s Bench , yesterdav several tradesmen of great respectability , i . e . wealth were indicted for conspiring to detraud Messrs ' iMdaile and Co ., and the rest oi the creditors of one WiUiam Edwards , a bankrupt , by secreting about £ 2 , 000 worth of i goods , withiu fourteen days prior to the issuing of a fiat . The case occupied the court the wnole day ; tho bankrupt was under examination for five hours , in the course of which , he . admitted that it" tho defendants had given him Aw share of the property , after having passed hlfl oxaminatipn , he would not have taken part m the pre 8 ent proceedings . He further admitted that he had begun business with £ 50 ; that he had been eighteen months a trader , and ended with debts totthe amount of £ 6 , 000 , and liabilitiesto nearly as much more ; that his creditors received one far-

The wholo Court , Judge , Jury , and Counsel ( even those for the prosecution ) openly denounced Edwards as the most heartless thina and one-sixteenth in the vound : that he thought
profligate that , in the whole course of their experience , they had- . ever met with ; and , after Sir F . Pollock had vainly attempted to bolster his evidence by others , the Jury stopped the case by a verdict of Not Guilty . A point of law occupied a considerable portion of the time , as to whether on « of the firm of Esdaile and Co ., whose second baptismal name had beeq omitted in the indictment , was rightly dcscribtd . The objection was finally overruled by the Judge , subject , in the eveut of a conviction , to the decision of the full Court . The Counsel for the prosecution were Sir F . Pollock , Mr . Kelly , and Mr Clarkson : for the defence , Sir William Fo : lew , Mr . Platt , and Mr . Thessiger .

Mr . Stone , Rector , in the chair , bomo opposition was manifested to the Rev . Gentleman's taking the chair , da tho ground of his having slandered tho weavers formerly , but eventually the proposition was carried . It was then proposed to send an address of congratulation to the Qieen and Prince on the occasion referred to . The resolution met with much opposition from memben of the
working clad *? , who , though opposed to assassination , thought there had been enough of memofialization throughout the kingdom ; and when it was borne in mind that they had memorialized by thousands for the rocal of Frost and his companions , and for the liberation of those who were confined for Dolitical offences , without having even elicited a reply , thej ( the speakers ; considered the present occasion might very well pass without a memorial . Eventually tlie reverend chairman , finding no chance Ot carrying the memorial , dissolved the meeting without coming to a decision , pro . or eou . This aiu&t be very gratifying to royalty .

ADVICE . * MR . WILKINSON , SURGEON , HAVING devoted his Studies for many Yeara to the successful Treatment of the VENEUKAL DISEASE , in all its various Forms ; also , to vhe frightful consequeuccs resulting from that desti active practice , "Self Abuse , " may be personally c ; u-¦ mlted from Nine in the Morning till Ten at Nn : ht , and ou Sundays till Two , at 13 , Trafalgar Street , Leeds , and every Thursday ,-at No . 4 , George Str . et , Bradford , from Ten till Five . In recent cases a perfect Cure is completed within a Week , or no Charge made for Medicine after that period , and Country P&tients , by making only oao personal visit , will receive such Advice and Medicines that will enable them to obtain a permanent and effectual Cure , when all other means have failed .
Having successfully acquired a thorough knowledge of all the various stages of that insidious aud foo often fatal disease , aud the deplorable results , as well as frequent loss of life , which often oc / urs through displayed ignorance , by those unqualified , having but very little knowledge either of the disorder , or component principles of Medicine ; thus the system becomes tainted , the whole mass of-bl ^ od impure , and the Constitution ruiued with Poi ;« n , producing Ulcers and Eruptions on various parts of
the body , frightful to be seen—often closely resembling , aud mistaken for diseases of a lesv pr . infal character . Mr . W * ., as a Member of ihe Met-leal Profession , and from the peculiar nature of his p . vaotice , can , with the ntmost confidence , even to the most timid , offer hope , vigour , and perfect hes . ch . What ar grief for a young person , in the very proie of life , to be snatched out of time , and from aP . theenjoyments of life , by a disease always local at iirst » and which never proves fatal if properly treated , as all its fatal results are owing either to neglect or
ignorance , Mr . W .- ' s invariable rule is to give a Card to c . ch of his Patietita as a guarantee for Cure , which he pledges himself to perform , or to return his Fee .

The Work which is now presented to the public ia tho result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and- affections , which for some unaccotmtable reason havo been either altogether ovtrlookcd , or treated with apathy , and alino 3 t indifference , by the ordinary practitioner . To eater into the details of these affections , to point out their causes , and to mark the terrific consequences , social , moral , and physical , which aro sure to follow from indulgence
, in certain habitp , would be entirely out of place in an advertisement . We have no hesitation , however , in saying that there is no member of society , by whom the book will not be found interesting , whether we consider such person to hold the relation of a P ARENT , a PRECEPTOR , or aCLERGYMAN . . The PARENT , who beholds his beloved child pining away ; and fast approaching to a premature grave , in consequence of some disease , which for want of . a careful investigation of its real cause , has been set down to the score of consumption , will , on perusing this work , be astonished to find that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of ooth sexes , who perisK of what is called pulmonary consumption , heart disease , tabes , tfec , the sole and
exciusireorigin has been the indulgence in certain destructive h-ibits , practised by youth much more frequently thnu is at all suspected . The PRECEPTOR , also , who holds temporarily , at least the relation and responsibility of a parent , will , by perusing this work , bo directed , and very much assisted in investigating and detecting tha too often concealed practices so often introduced into schools , whereby the health and ultimately the Iive 3 of his pupils are sure to be compromised , unless the evil be checked in proper time . He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this , moral labyrinth , and a standard whereby to-judge , when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges , what the
real cause ot such attack may be , and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient etate . The CLERGYMAN , in whoso sacred character is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parrot and instructor , will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them , if not relinquished . The book will also be found to contain mneh valuable information peculiarly interesting to those members of society who , from having indulged to excess in youth , find themselves unable to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on them ia the course of life .
Messrs . CURTIS and CO . are to be consulted daily at their residence , No . 7 , Frith-street , Soho , from Ten till Three , and Five till Eight in ' the Erening . Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible m the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint , the symptoms , age , general habits of living , and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual consultation fee of £ 1 , without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases , the mo&t inviolable secrecy maybe relied on .
