re spectably connected , was charged at the Court House , before the Mayor , and P . Lnpfcon , Esq . with h » Ting stolen a gold watch , from the pocket of Mr . . Alexander Crawford , described as a book-keeper , residing at Green Mount Place , top of Marshallgtreet , flolbeck . Mr . Crawford stated that on Monday evening he was at No . 21 , Land ' s-lane , from whence , after Btaying some time , he went , in company with Mr . Broofce , in a coach to the theatre ; he persisted thai fas looked what time it was on leaving X * od a-lane , aad that immediatel y on his arrival at the theatre , he missed his watch . He immediately returned back to No . 21 , but as he could not find it there , he gave information to the police , and Mr .
Brooke , soon after leaving the theatre , was taken into custody , and locked up for th « night . Mr . Bond , who appeared for the defence , put Beveral questions to Mr . Crawford , as to whither he had charged any of the females in Land ' s-lane , with having stolen his watch ; whether he was intoxicated ; and whether he had no ; been desirous to have the matter hashed up without its coming before a magistrate . These he parried or answered in the negative , notwithstanding that the offer had been made not only to Mr . Brooke ' s friends , but also to Mr . Bond and Mr . Reed , the chief consable . The watch , was found , on Tuesday morning , under a scfa , in the room where he had been , at No . 21 j b y the servant , and Mr . Crawford said that doubtless Mr . Brooke had returned thither , and deposited it where it was found . Evidence was called
to contradict this in the most positive terms , to shuw that Mr . Brooke was searched prior to leaving the theatre , that he was not at No . 21 again on that night ; that Mr . Crawford was intoxicated , that-he went into Land ' s-lane from the theatre , and charged the n »™* tJ > a there with the robbery , on which occasion Inspector Hainsworth was sent for , and the parties offered to be searched , declaring that they knew nothing whatever of the watch ; upon which Mr . Crawford behaved in a manner very unbecoming his character as a gentleman , and that the watch , when found , had the glass broken , as if it had fallen from his pocket on the floor , and there been left by himself . Under these circumstances , the Mayor said it was the opinion of himself and brother magistrates , that not the slightest suspicion attached to Mr . Brooke , and he was discharged—the Mayor advising him not to go to No . 21 again .
Nattrai . Cvbjositt . —On the 1 st instant was gathered , growing from the mortar joint of the cellar wall of Sarah Kershaw , of this town , a mushroom of the enormous weight of one pound and a half avoirdnpoise . When cooked , it was quite tender , and considered by those who partook of it , a great delitacy . It is remarkable that there was no kind of Bannre or earth near it , neither is the house near aay stable yard , where it i 3 well known mushrooms often spring up .
CTi t i »^ y ^ f ^ y i ^ Jfij } TO THE EDITOR OF THB KORTHEBS STAR . Sib , —The inclosed bill is addressed very modestly to the public of Mansfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield . lie subject of it is a national one , and ought to have the snpport of every Briton . Broyan , a poor working man , of active habits and iadepeodent mind , resided in the large village of Sotton-in-Ashfield , and within a few hundred yards tl Unwin , one of the so-called unpaid magistracy , who , desiring to keep the people in the most abject fabiection to his would-be sovereign wUl , found the Slid Broyaneonstanily at his post , daring to oppose his tyrant will . Consequently , the petty despot has
Bade repeated attempts to silence and crush this noble spirit ; but he has withstood every shock , and flinched not one hairVbreadth . "Union finding all his efforts to destroy abortive , thought , while the dragoons were brought to watch and annihilate the Chartists , and while excitement was at its height , an opportunity wa 3 thus afforded to do the tiring effectually ; so he commanded an officer , and his corps of mounted troopers , to surround , while he and the constables ransacked the house . And what && this jnst-ass carry off ! Not physical-force weapons : no ! but a lease , a pair of silk stockines .
acorants , invoices , private letters , &c . < fe& ; and for thii actual robbery , by this lawgiver , without even fte formality of a search-warrant , the action , retered to in the accompany tag printed placard , was br ought by poor Broyan at , to him , & ruinous expense . The cause was tried before Lord Denman sad a special jury , at the Nottingham Spring Asczes ; the trial lasted from eleven till seven o ' clock . Re Jury were locked up when the trial closed , and remained so till five o ' clock on Sunday morning , when one of them was taken bo dangerously ill , that Lord Denman tfimpiaapri them without their giving a verdict .
No other working man in England , perhaps , would have been bold enough to bring thisaeuoB ; but a doable msfortoae is involved by the no ver-Set , and the ease is to try over again . It is quite den that a portion of this aristocratic Jury were determined to find the housebreaker guilty . It i s hoped that the next Jury will be still better , and ftai the culprit will be punished according to his erune . 1 now call upon my friends , and upon every friend to justice—I call upon all who desire to have their
aoase ( their castle ) protected from'the attacks of such reprobates , with such instruments , to come forward tith their mites , and , at the least , protect this wor thy man from any individual sacrifice . PrompiiJade , I know , _ is essential- as very seriouB consefMfiees will be involved if the money is not obtained im early . Send it to the Star office without delay , audit will be published and ready for a calL Confident that my friends in Scotland , and in Wales , too , will nobly respond to this call , as well as those of England , I remain , dear Sir , Your and their obedient servant , L . PlTKETHLY . The following is the handbill alluded to : —
> OT 1 CEThe public of Mansfield , Sutton-in-Ashfield , and their Tioaitiea , are respectfully informed , that in the action <* "Broyan versus JTJnwin and others , " for illegally * »** knig , and carrying off tne premises of the former , Wrtain papeaand documents , his property—trhich case " ¦* & teed ¦ before Lord Penman , at the Assizes for the ojffity of Nottingham , in March last , the Jury having been dismissed by his Lordship , without giving a ver-™*> U is now the intention of the plaintiff and his fc
pl advisers , to apply for a rule to have it re-tried , pKWawy before the Court of Queen ' s Bench , in London . A * tab proceeding will unavoidably be attended with jery serioas expense—especially if the case is heard a London—in procuring the presence of the necessary ^ toesseB , and other parties engaged , it has been ° * aned advisable to open a Public Subscription , to jsat in bringing to an issue a trial in the result of "ken is involved a question of such vital importance to « e liberties of the subject .
The circumstances -which gave ri * e to this trial must w fresh in the memery of all those who take an interest J > pnblie affairs ; especially in the manner in which jjjfjdininistration of justice is performed in this neighbourhood by those to whom that important trust is *» fided .

If all the parties moving urthis affair be like thos « who have taken up the subject here , it may truly be said of them , the smallest contributors to the fund make the greatest noise about it , and they have a most strange way of obtaining the opinion of the subscribers , if eleven men can settle the question for them , as no previous notice had been given of the meeting
Iso . 9 , The Rotal Charles Lodge of the Lndbpbsdekt Oedee of the Goldes Fleece . —The fourth anniversary dinner was held of this Order on Monday last , at the house of Mr . Whittaker , the Cnven Heifer , Cow Green , in this town . Upwards of sixty members sat down to an excellent repast , which did great credit to thb worthy host and hostess , whose wonted liberality on such occasions was once more made manifest . The lodge room was decorated with flowers , fruits , and evergreens , tastefully arranged , and the evening was spent in the most agreeable manner , by the brotherhood , in harmony and conviviality . The year ' s report of the state of the society gave general satisfaction , as the funds are in a nourishing condition . On the Tuesday evening , the wives and sweethearts of the members took tea together in the same room , spending the evening in dancing and mirthful recreation .
FiuuD on the Post-Ofpjcx . —One of the letter carriers of this town , named Wadswonh , having been detected m keeping back a number ef letters intrusted to his delivery , absconded the other week , when discharged from his situation , and a reward was offered for his apprehension , and on Friday last he was taken at Rochdale , by Mr . Fraser , of this town , who , along with Mr . Samuel Taylor , brought him to Halifax . His examination before the magistrates was expected to have taken place on Wednesday last , but he was remanded for a further hearing till Saturday , ( this day . ) Near two hundred letters have been discovered , which he has kept back , some of which are said to have contained money .
Accident . —On Monday last , two horses took fngbt m King-Cross-lane , and started off full speed with a cart , in which two children wer « placed , and taking down Back-lane , ne ? er stopped till they came at the bottom of Russell-street , when the first horse entered the back door of the Saddle Inn , which was open , the landlord not having sufficient time to close the door . Fortunately , no very serious damages were done .
BARKSI-ET . Pitblic Meeting . —On Tuesday evening , a public meeting was held in the Odd Fellows' Hall , to petition Parliament for a mitigation of the paniahmejl of Ashten , Crabttee , and Hoey . The Hall was crowded by the working classes ; aad the order preserved would have graced the highest circle In the nation . At the hour appointed , Mr . John Widdop rose , and proposed that Mr . Philmore do take chair , which was seconded by Mr . Collins , and earned unanimously . Mr . David Philmore , on taking the chair , thanked the meeting for the confidence reposed in him , assuring them , in the mean time , that his utmost endeavours should be direcUd
to assist in ameliorating the condition of these poor men . He then read letters of apology from Titus Brook 3 , of Dewsbury , and Mr . Pitkethly , of Huddersneld . After reading the letters , Mr . Reuben Joins proposed the first resolution in a neat and appropriate speech , which was seconded bv Mr . Davis : That this meeting views with disgust the cruel treatment of W . Ashton , P . Hoey , and J . Crabtree , now suffering in Wakefield House of Correction for advocating the principles of liberty , justice , and truth , we , therefore , petition Parliament for a remission of their punishment . " The Chairman then called upon Mr . John Widdop to read the petition , which he did in a masterly style , commenting , as he went through , on the iniquity of the sentence , and contrasting the cruelties of our laws with savage barbarians , and proving , beyond demonstration .
that our laws were worse than theirs . The petition was adopted unanimously . Mr . Collins pro-E * ed the next resolution : " That T . Duncombe , q ., do present the petition to Parliament . " He requested of them to be determined and steady in their adhesion to their constitutional rights . He was ably supported by Mr . Eneas Daly , who not only impressed upon them the necessity of adhering to their former principles , but also to see that the families of those poor men should not be neglected . Mr . Vallance then arose deeply affected , and said , that if they had committed crimes , so had he ; and he only regretted that the punishment awarded to his fellow sufferers was not apportioned amongst them all ; The Chairman having left the chair , the thanks of the meeting was voted to him , and the meeting separated .

Mr . Hume said he had alluded to slave-grown sugar ; there were other foreign sugars , not slavegrown , that might be admitted . Mr .

The room shortly afterwards became a little fuller , and Hargreaves then commenced a long tirade about the landowners , and complained that their muffins cost them twopence each , when they should only cost a penny .

The low rate of wages , and scarcity of work , with the enormous price of all the necessaries of life , is giving them the appearance of a number of wretched beings reduced to the last stage of misery through famine . The lively bustle of the place , and the former spirit of the people has gradually receded before the advance of poverty , and they bear their misery , at present , with a stoicism truly admirable . Some few here and there ascribe a great portion of their wretchedness to the want of a Radical Reform , but a very considerable portion begin to view the matter in a different light , and trace the whole to a bad Providence . To propitiate this angry being , and to avert the calamity , as far as possible , a great number of them have altered their tactics . and instead of crowd-Statr mthr Pnna Th * **«•«* .. tiv . 1 u inflOT ^^^
ing to vestry , and Kadical Reform meetings , they are now to be seen crowding off to the different chapels with as much indifference to politics and the » f 8 ° ' Justice , as if they were not inhabitants of this lower world . Last Sunday , at a meeting of one of those sectarian places , the minister , after working upon the natural feelings of his congregation , informed them at last , that their sufferings were entirely inconsequence of their sins , and that even the present wet weather was owing to their want of thankfulness for the fine dry weather last April . That the fanners and others likely to suffer were consequently themselves to blame , and bad governments had nothing at all to do with the matter , lnis method of explaining the cause of hunger and misery appeared to give perfect satisfaction , and the congregation , though very poor , rewarded the discoverer by giving £ 20 to the prosperity of the place and its enlightened doctrines .

False Report . —We are happy to learn that it is not true , as has been reported in one of the Leeds papers , that Mr . James Garnett dismissed from his Mfepioy the four men who waited upon him relating-to the late reduction of wages . It was true they were ordered to finish their work and go , but were afterwards informed that they were welcome to continue ^ heir work . It is pretty generally behoved that Mr . Garnett is not one of those who wish to take an undue advantage of any worKman who is appointed to wait upon him . Mr . Garnett is quite willing to lay on the late reduction if any of the other firms do . All appear now willing to lay it on and it only requires one honest heart to set the noble example .
A Chartist .- —On Sunday last , John Turner , one of the Chartists for whom a reward of £ 50 was offered some time ago , was taken into custody by Mr . Cowling Ackroyd , constable of Horton .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . 8 ir , —Having seen my name alluded to the Ashton Committee for the relief of the imprisoned Chartists and their families , I think it just to myself and the public to state whether I am deserving of censure or not On air . Stephens being arrested , I attended all publie meetings from the commencement , paid liberally , and was chosen one of the committee to raise a defence fund . I was left to manage the whole concern ; bo much for neglect of the committee on the members of the Convention being elected . I attended all meetings weekly , aud was almost left to manage the Convention Fund , which amounted to £ 104 5 s ., and I had to go every
other Sunday to district delegate meetings , to New Mills , in Derbyshire ; GlosBop , Mottram , and Hide , besides speaking at public out-door meetings , which has broke my voic * w much , that I believe it will never be right again . I attended all meetings on behalf of Mr . Frost , both before and after his trial ; was one of the committee for his defence , and was left to be secretary , treasurer , and to send money to the northern Star office , when I thought proper . So much for the activity of the committee again . Again I got discharged from my employment for my exertions for the toiling millions , which bai made my circumstances weaker , but my principles the stronger . Now , I think It not
right to taunt me -with " Where is Benton ? " because I cannot give as I used to do . If every working man would give as I have given , and work as I have worked , against themselves , for the benefit of others , as honestly , independently , and fearlessly , as I have done , the Charter would have been the law of the land . If the people would have done as I wanted them—to have public meetings every week , and petition every week , until the insane Government ceuld not get into the walls of the House of Commons—then , I believe we should have had the return of Frost , William , and Jones , and all other political prisoners , to their homes aud ffrrrnliftg .
If you would be so kind to insert the above in your valuable paper of Saturday next , you will much oblige Your friend and well wisher , Thomas Bbhton . July 6 . 1840 ,
