LATEST FROM AMERICA . TJie Great Western , from New York , arrived at Bristol about four o ' clock this morning , Thursday , the 24 ft , after a successful voyage of between fourteen and fifteen days . The Great Western has brought New York papers to the Sih instant , on which day she sailed , ins . ead of the 8 iu , as intended , earing been detained a day in consequence of a Tery . Bevere snow Btortn , which extended over many of the northern and southern States , having rendered the roads impassable , aud rendered the arrival of three days' North and South sails . She h&a a full complement of cargo , ¦ with npwards of 100 , 000 dollars in specie on board , aod she brings home sixty-nine passengers , the whole
of whom speak in the highest possible terms of the ability , coarte 3 j , and general conduct of Captain Hosken . It was fully expected that she wonld havebroughi the President ' s Message , but it had not arrived at Kew York at the time of her departure , acd indeed there were doabts whether the enow storm had not prevented tha arrival of a saffluieat number of members to open the Congress on the Monday . The Electoral College had met and elected General Htrtison President , " and Mr . Tyler Yice-President , by a very large majority . Upon the subject of General Harrison ' s Cabinet , much speculation was abroad , but it was thought that both Mr . Websxrr and Mr . Gav would be
memoi rs of u ; and it is staled that Mr . Webster bad bean offered ihe office of Secretary of State , which he would accept . Aecdants of tie devastation occasioned by the storm were arriving from all quarters , but its extent was unknown , * s most of the roads still remain impassable from the snow-drift . In Canada everything remained peaceable .

LEEDS . —Nobth East Ward . —The good men and true of this spirited and truly democratic ward » e indefatigable in their exertions for the spread of sound political information , and are t » be found * t their post on all occastocs when their services are S » ed « d . They intend holding their monthly meeting os Wednesday evening next , at the British Qaeen , Quarry Hill , when a numerous attendance is expected , as several well-tried friends will address the meeting . Katiokai Charier Association—The Council of ihis Association assembled at their room , in the
Fish Market , on Sunday , for the arrangement of bnsiness connected with the intended meeting , to be held * o New Year's D * y . The Leeds Chartists are full of bustle and activity on this occasion ; they are resolved to do their duty towards their expatriated friends , Frost , Williams , and Jones . Throughout the weekrequisiiion sheets have been handed through the various wards , which have received the signatures of a largs number of respectable individuals , reqaesting the Mayor to convene a meeting of the inhabitants to memorialise her Majesty for the release of Fran , WilliamB , and Jones .
Thb bscal weekly meeting of the Association took place on Monday evening , at their room . After the transaction of various and important business , they proceeded to choose officers for the ensuing quarter . Mr . Benjamin Knowles was appointed president , Mrr John Ogdtn was chosen as secretary , Mr . Wm Brook treasurer , and Mr . Andrew Gardner assistant secretary to the Association . Mr . James Hosier attended , for the purpose of withdrawing his name from the books of the Association , to the apparent tatirficuon of the members assembled .

Nobth Wakd National Chaster Association . — A monthly meeur g of this ? eviety took place at the Triangle Inn , Badge-street , for the transaction of their usual busii . uss ; at the conclusion of which a subscription was made , and hbsrally contributed to by the members ,-towards defraying the expences of tae meeting on T ^ ew Year ' s Day . The members -Jeparated highly gratified wiih the rapid progress their principle ^ are making through the land .
Ths Leeds Short Time Committee , akd Mb . OastEkjl—A meeting of the old Leeds Short Time Committee "was convened for Thursday erening last , it the boqge of Mr . John Ainley , Crown and Fleece Inn , Crown-street , 10 devise " the best means of assisting tbe benevolent and worthy " Old K > ng , " Mr . Oastlvr , in bis unjust confinement . After various plans had been broached , the meeting was adjourned to Saturday ( this ) night , at eight o clock , it the same house , for their further consideration .
State or Teladb , —The trade of Leeds is in & very dull state at present ; a b-rge portion of the working men are placed upon fcatf time , and hundreds are totally unemployed . It ii to be hoped that those who are possessed of this world ' s goods will see the necessity of assisting their brethren in need at this inclement season : hundreds of unfortunate beinga may be Been begging from house to house for . relief . Robbkmes . —On Monday night , the house of a person in Green-row , Mabgate , was entered , during "the absenc * of the inmates , by skeleton keys , and & black silk gown , and a piece of new Orleans doth , were stolen . On the same night , four oil hairs , or hair moulds , for making oil cakes in , were stolen from the boose of Mr . Benson , oil crusher , Waterloo-street , Leeds .
Dbaisaseaxd Sewsbj-GE . —Good people of Leeds ! now look out ! u Open your mouths aud shut your eyes , and Bee what God will sead you . " Something is going to be done for yon at last , depend upon it ! Last week , a meeting was held at the Court House Committee-room , the Mayor in the chair , consisting of ex-commi 33 ioners , commissioners , and a few other improvement folk , with their great gun , MJ \ Saioes . It appears to have been specially called to determine on petitioning Government to p&sa a sewerage and drainage act , applicable to ail large towns ; but , of course , for the especial use of Lseds . The necessity for thia step appears to be drawn from information obtained by statistical surveys ,
made here and elsewhere . Tnere is one feature , however , "worthy of remark , which , before we proceed farther , we shall beg to notice . These gentle-Ben seldom meet together to talk over this deep subject of statistics , but much of their precious time is spent in fulsome compliment on each orher for the display of their profound knowledge on the subject , as evidenced on this occasion , and before that committee , when it is well known the pracueal information they possess must be very limited , or at least little more t . * ian what may have been gathered from a perusal of Dr . Baker ' s Report ; which , by the byo , has been , in their possession now more than twelve months , instead of being printed and given
away , or sold , that the people might Bee for themselves how the . £ 1 , 000 has been expended . A truly invidious position is this to be placed in , and some of them may well exclaim M Save me from nry friends . " That survey was a work of great labour , and when the objectrfbr which it was began is realised , the people will know how to reward its author . It was devised , persevered in , and carried out , solely by the individual exertions of Dr . Baker , and its varied ramifications cost him , together with his persevering foreman , many a night of intense application and thought , when others were snoozing comibrtaWyiin their beds ; and , it is rather too much of * . goo& Aing to bear-swfc sraw&fcenwrvnoaBense
about toe knowledge of thoss who have had neither { art nor lot in the matter . Let them crack this lint , and for the future keep their places . But why was not Dr . Baker it this meeting 1 Why , verily , as may be hoped , because he has more sense . Whig as he is , he knows well a Drainage Bill" would do little towards making the abodes of the working classes more cemibmble . It is known that his opinion is , that nothing short of a General Building Act , to compel landlords to pave , sewer , drain , ftsd build a sufficient number of privies , ash-hole ? , and other conveniences , and that shall provide for ail the other requisites to cleanliness and comfort , will ever effectuate that improvement in the health
of a crowded population , so devoutly to be wished . At this meeting two hundred pounds of the people ' s money was voted towards improvements in a part of Swinegate—a street tolerably clean , well paved , and lighted ; while it is a fact that scores of streets , Isaes , and alloys , in other parts of the town are at this moment up to the knees in mud and filth , the aecamulation of years ; witness York-street , and all ftatributary streets . About Milk-street in the East Ward"fliefe are continually as many as 500 inhabitants without the benefit of one useable privy , and where most of the cellars swim with water aha other flsisa&oe . The surface of the street itself is covered with homan excrement and other filth , so as to be
almost impassable ; but these are poor people—the working ezaasee , and , consequently , are without the pale—whife Swinegate , be it remembered , is the proper $ M » dtheroughfare of the rich and trading < dasw £ ?§ s 8 j © f oourse , the people ' s money can only bfr jqppgjn for the convenience of those in such ^ criayiC ^ Mffigh ihe ' others pay their quota of the toX .

A TJFA 3 L—Shop-Li ptimq . —Late on Thurs day * " { & ' ' or ** dl ° " Friday morning . the 18 th inst ., Mr . Tillotson ' sshop , at the bottom , of New Bank , near the North-bridge-end , Northowram , was broken into and six strokes of malt , and one load of floor were taken therefrom . An entrance was made by removing one of the stone door-posts , on which the hinges of the door was fixed . Tob Dangkb op Makikg Lovir at Pklloit . On Sunday evening last , one of tho shopkeeper *) of Halifax was on a visit at the above place , and being observed by some of the natives in conversation with a female , to whom he pajd his addresses , a party of five persons got over a wall , and went up to them
demanding money , which : was refused them , when they proceeded to very rough usage , on which the young gentleman pulled a pistol cut of his pocket , and snapped tho trigger in self-defenoe ; bnt the party , nothing daunted , persevered in tho assault , and finally took the pistol from him . Legal proceedings would have been instituted against the parties committing the assault , but for the intercession of a friend , who knows the gentleman , and a compromise has been entered into on the pistol being returned to its owner . Cupid ' s walks must be matte very secret in this neighbourhood , or there is evident { danger that his path will be beset | by jealous intruders .
KElGHtirS '— Eo , ual Justice . —The cause of the Law-established Church party is likely to make rapid progress in this town , through the zealous exertions of the new Recvor . This gentleman appears in duty bound to make every thing subservient to the glorious cause in wnich he is engaged , and to briug back either the souls or substances of such of his parishioners a 3 may happen to stray from the fold . Hb exertions , in this respc-ct , were ably exhibited on Wednesday week , aiihe distribution of a small Bum of money called a " dole , " which is given in the vestry of the parish church , every half year . This money , which oaght to be distributed without regard to creed or profession , and which usually aveiages about a shilling for each applisant , was squared out by the folio wing ruie : —
Whsn a woman with a family presented herself , the Rector and Churchwardens sitting in conclave questioned her as follows : — Rector , or Churchwarden—Wfca : place of worship do you attend ! Woman—The Church . Rector^—What Sunday School do your children attend ? Woman—The National School . Rector—Give her a shiiliDg . Rector , to the second woman—Where do your family attend ? Woman—The Church aud the Methodist Chapel . Rector—And what school do your chiluren attend ! Woman—Part go to the National , and part to the Methodist .
Rector—i on are doing wrong , my good woman , you should send them all to one place , ( the National , of course ); however , give her a shilling . Rector , to the third woman—Where do you attend ! Woman—The Ranter ' s Chapel , and my children go to their school . Rector—Give her a sixpence . This line of conduct was pursued during the distribution of the money ; the Church and old Methodist party getting the shilling , the Baptists , Ranters , and others getting the sixpences , and the poor Rids , and others , who sent their , children to the Working Man ' s Hall Sunday School , generally came off with nothin g ^ It is , however , to . be hoped , that the rational and thinking part of the labouring c ass of Keighley will be above selling the bodies and souls of their children to slavery for the paltry consideration of & shilling or two per annum .
K * ob A 5 D Spell . —On Monday . Dec . 14 th , a match at knor and spell came off ut Sutton Stoop , between James Smith , the champion of Haworth , and Wm . Green , of Cross Hills , a lad in his teens , for £ 5 a side . Tha day being fine , hundreds of spectators flocked to the place from all tbe various parishes around—some only to see the spoit , and many to drain the pockets of the Cross Hills flats , they making so sure of their pet that nothing was to be h-sard bus 2 to 1 on Hsworth , 3 to 2 , and so on . The game , however , commenced , and it being Green ' s lot to lead , he commenced in grand stylo , beaticg Smith a score a ; a rise , for seventeen rises together , when it became evident to the spectators that Smith and his backers were meditating a
plan of escape , in order to draw in their wagers , snd save their pockets . Finding , however , no opportunity of getting off with decency , he threw aside all decorum , and broke away , a 3 they vulgarly Bay , at broadside . A race , mere like a fox-hunt than a match , instantly commenced ; when Green and his backers , assisted by the spectators , ran him down like a fox , and caught him in an adjoining plantation , where he had taken cover . Ho was collared , and led back to the scratch , where ha was compelled to play it oat , Green fairly beating him 28 seore yards out of 30 rites . Another match is to come off on Old Christmas Day , at Cross Hills , between John Walmsley , of FarnhilL and Joseph Ellison , of Sutton , for £ l a side .
BOLTON .-QuEt . Vs " Babbt" Mkbtjnq . —On Tfiuiiiday week , the Mayor , Aldermen , and Common Councilmen of the questionable corporation of this borough , in humble imitation of their Tory brethren , the Boroi-ghreeves and Constables , held a special meeting to address Vic , her mamma , and Albert , on the " auspicious event . " Of the twanty-four Councillors only nine attended . Of the twelve Aldermen only two were absent . This hair of the corporate authorities were unanimous in begging her Majesty to accept th * ir "sincere congratulations on so
auspicioua an occasion , " and hoped that her daughter would u increase the lustre of her illustrious house . " They approached Albert with their .

" Of the Duchess of Kent they requested permission to lay before her their " heartfelt congratulations on the an .-picious event . " What a pity the learned pig was not taught to write !
Thb Exiled Patriots . —On Sunday foreuoon , a meeting of delegates from the surrounding townships , was hold iii the Temperance Hotel , Newportstreet , for the purpose of making arrangements for conducing the ensuing demonstrations in favonr of Frost , Williams , and Jones . There was a good attendance from the villages in the neighbourhood , and Wigan , Chorley , and the Chowbent district also sent delegates . Alter the appointment of a chairman and secretary , a question arose aa to the propriety of holding one lar ^ e district meeting for Bolton , Chorley , Wigan , and their neighbourhoods ,
wnen it was finally agreed thai each town should hold sepa-ite meetings , to which the villa-es in their immediate vicinities could attend with more convenience and at less expence . An invitation was given to Messrs . R . M ^ rsden and J . Renwick by ihe men of Wigan to attend their demonstration , which was accepted . It was also resolved to give a imperial invitation to Sir . George Lloyd , of Liverpool , and Mr . William Dixon , of Wigan , to attend the meeting at Bolton on New Year ' s Day . After votes of thanks to the delegates from Wigan , Chorler , Chowbent , < Stc , and to the Chairman , the meeting separated .

HULL POLICE COTJKT . TOESPAY / 1 > ECSMBER , 22 ND . BEFORE SIS WM . LOWTHROP AND MR . BOWDEN . " FATAL MAIL COACH ACCIDENT . William Walker wm-charged with being drunk , andfuriously driving over the Old Dock Bridge , whehsby he had injured many persons , aud caused tbe death of a child . Mr . M'Manui , the SuperinUndant of Police , said that aboat half-past four o ' clock the previous afteraoori ? the prisoner ( wko , however , was not the regular driver , ) vras returning with the Hornsea mail to Mrs . Wing ' s house , from the Post-office , where the letters had feeen delivered . When he got to the Old Bock Bridge , which was open , there was- a truck in advance of him ; and on tbe bridge being closed , the prisoner
( who was very drunk ) endeavoured to pass the truck , whieh was , however , quite impossible , on account of the bridge being so narrow ; the prisoner , by driving his * horses on , however , brought the mn . il in contact with tiie truck , and tbe wheels were forced on the foot-pata which was then crowded with paaisngers ;" in consequence of the mail being thus driv-en on to'tne foot-path the pressure became so great , that in one case death had ensued , and twelve more ^ ere seriously iujured ; one person having his finger cempletely cut of £ The pris . oper . still' continued whipping his toses ^ aaaif the' railings of the bridge bad given waythe tide being then very low—ia all probability at least one hundred persons wonld haye been killed by drowning or otherwise—entirely owing to the misconduct of the prisoner . Mr . Bowden , the magistrate , was near the bridge at the timo of thb accident , and he ( Mr . M'ilanus ) expected him to be on the bench almost
immediately . The man who bad charge of the truck stood still , and enderronred to allow the foot passengers to cross over without injury , but the prisoner eon tinned to whip hu horses on , and was the cause of the frightful accident which occurred . One individual was tiken to the Infirmary , and moat of the others to their respective homes . The Coroner wonld hold an inqaeat on the body of the child who had died , and there were about thirty witnesses ready to give evidence . On the protest occasion , if the magistrates would hear one or two wit nesses , perhaps they would think proper to defer further proceedings until tbe inquest had been held , and would remand him for that purpose . He ( H'Manos ) thought it one of the most wanton cases that had ever come under his observation , for the bridge being narrow , the driver most be well aware that two carriages could not pass at the same time , and would not have attempted it if sober .

[ Mil Bowden entered the Court al this stage of th « proceedings . ] Polios constable No , 63 deposed thai he wm on duty at tl » Old Dock Bridge the pr « jlous afternoon ; abomt half-past tout ordock the bridge had been « p , anf on its dosing he Went across the first to w « that foot passen gers kept on tbe tight Side ; oa the town ride of the bridge ana of Me Barron ' s men wm ootadnf with a truck , and immediately behind this truck was the Born-• ea nipT'The prisoner was driving' Oat / maO , : and drove bis horses so near to the truck that Mr , Barrou ' s horsss were forced on to the footpath , which eaused the truck to ran ovef several of the fooi passengers . The driver of the coach did not stop , but continued to drive the mail ovf r tbe bridge to its place of destination . On going U that part of the bridge where the accident had occurred , he found many pereona seriously injured , and four of them were taken to Mr . Lestert , the druggiats ,
three to the Dock-office , and the rest to their respective homes . He ( policeman ) , after rendering what assistance he could to the sufierers , went to Mrs . Wing ' s stables and apprehended the prisoner , who wm then very drunk , and seemed to have no recollection or knqj ^ ledge of tbe accident . From what he saw he should judge that the accident was caused solely by the prisoner in endeavouring to drive his coach past the truck , when upon the bridge : the horses of the mail coach were actually driven before the body of the truck iu advance , and the pole of the coash was pushed against the horsea drawing the truek , by which means they < the truck horses ) were forced on to the footpath . He could not say whether the wheel of the mall was upon the footpath or not , as be was on the other side of the bridge . Be , himself , had got his arm and side much bruised . .
Captain J »! jn Hill , of the artillery , deposed that he was at the Old Dock Bridge the previom evening about half-past four o ' clock . He wss imraedfitely behind a mall , which bad three horses to it : on the bridge being closed , the driver of the mail wanted to force his coach past a dray which was in advance ; the bridge was so narrow thai ; It was impossible for one carriage to pass another , and , consequently , the whe «\ of the mail got locked in those of ths dray , by which tho latter Tehicle w . is forced Vpon the footpath , an * being forced onward bv the mail , ran over a great many of the foot pagsen Et .-s ; he ( Captain Hill ) picked a littl f firl up , over wh is . ' body the wheel of tho dray haif passed , v The
driver of the raajl never stopped , but "< lro * e his torses and-forced tha dray right over the bridge , where the whte ! s became disentangled , and the prisoner then drove off , seemingly perfectly unconscious of the loud screaming of tbe ( sufferers . The driver of the dr » y stopped as soon as he could , and rendered what assistanco was in his power . Ha iCaptaln Hill ) was so horror-struck with tho scene , that he did not observe if the coachman wm intoxicated . One of the soldiers of the garrison had been very seriously injured He ( witnessi saw the dray cnuie up to the bring * the first ; aud the driver of the mail could not be labouring tinder tht » idea that he had th » jprecedence ia crossing over the bridge .
Susannah Torgoose said she saw the dtnghter of Mr TMstleton , the market keeper , die in its father ' s arms shortly after being brought from the place of the accident ; there was the mark of a horse ' s foot upon its body , but she did net know what other injuries it had received . It was seven years old . gho had two children in her own family who had been seriously Injured . Captain Hill said , from the description which had been given of this child , he believed it to be the one which he had taken up . At the suggestion of Mr . M'Manus , the magistrates then remanded the case till Thursday , that the decision of tho jury might be obtained before further proceedings were entered into .

Colonial
Wool is in fair request . Yarn Market . —We axe mnable to report any improvement in this branch of the trade . The demand . continues stead y , but the prices are very low , cqmpared with the price of the raw material , which has not declined in proportion withyarns ; nor can we see any chance of amendment while Cotton continues to be substituted in such formidable quantities . We regret to learn that another once opulent and extensive Worsted Spinning house has been compelled to yield to the pressure of the times . Such frequent repetitions of insolvency augur strongly that the trade is anything but a profitable one . Piece Market . —The market to-day , as is usual at this season , is anything but animated , and what pales are effected leave no encouragement to the manufacturers to replace them .
