The Mots At Stockport. Pcbthzb Pabtjcbia...
THE MOTS AT STOCKPORT . Pcbthzb PabtjcbiAbs . —On Wednesday night there was a renewal of the disgraceful outrages of the preceding erenigg , Several houses inhabited by Irish Catholics were gutted , and their inmates brutally beaten . The magistrates issued a proclamation forbidding public assemblages in the streets . The proceedings in the Court-house on Wednesday concluded with the remand of the only portion of the prisoners who could be identified as riotere . * lesterdny ( Friday ) the ' examination of the prisoners was resumed . They were nearly all Irish . The Mayor said the course' tbe magistrates bad decided to adopt , in tbe prosecution , of the present inquiry , was to enter into a nistorical account of the wholn transaction , before going into the case of any particular individual ; because it was
most material and essential that the origin of this unfortunate tumult should be ascertained . The evidence given had reference principally to the procession on Sunday last . There were , it appears , a few soldiers , supposed to be Irish and Catholic , in the procession . The town was comparatively quiet on Thursday evening . : The inquest on the body of Michael Moran ( not Darby Starie ) the young man killed early in the riotous proceedings of Tuesday evening , commenced on Thursday evening , at the Court House , before Mr . Charles Hudwm , coroner . Tames Flanagan deposed , that himself and deceased were , without provocation on their part , as-ailed in the public afreet . Witness ran away , and on looking back saw Moran stretched on the ground bleeding . Witness went back , picked him up , tnd conveyed him to the house in Rook-row . The rioters , immediately I had taken him op stairs and laid him on the bed , broke open the doors and carried out the furniture to burn it in the streets . We had gone up stairs
for safety , bnt the police came up , ' and an officerfrom the "macks , with a drawn sword , said " Come down—Til see jou protected . " They brought Riley down , and the policeman took him under his ' care . Mr . Henry Bowers , of the Stock port Arms , was assisting the police . I brought down ^ iciael Moras , with - the aid of another man , and the P ? 5 « ce ordered me to take him to a doctor's . When I got i'Ha . out of doors a man came up with a large piece of wood 111 his hand , thick and round , and gave him another blow ° n the head . The man said , "Come , let ns look at his head , * od see if he is ah Irishman , " and he then struck Moran a fcanendous blow on the left side of bis head , inflicting an-JJw er wound . Witness then took him into tho . Court-house " ™ laid him down there , for Mr . Walters , surgeon , to trend him . When he was struck the second time he said , Ob dear—I ' m done . " He never ' spoke after that . They 7 ** 4 his name at the Court-house , and ho could not ""^ r . I wa 8 turned outside the Court-house , and left to s ° borne abeut eleven ' clock

Anticipated Disturbances In Manchester, ...
ANTICIPATED DISTURBANCES IN MANCHESTER , The Irish districts of Manchester have been in an excited state since the riots at Stockport , and there has been sorao reason to fear an outbreak ; but precautions have bei-n taken b y the police , with the aid of the military , to meet ??( emergency .

Tns Collision on the River . —It is now believed that all the passengers on board the Duchess of Kent succeeded in effecting their escape , and that tho loss will be confined to tbe vessel itself and to the lusgago and other valuables on board . [ One of the passengers by the Duchess of Kent , writing in the Times" of this morning , states that , in hia opinion , contrary to the above , that several passengers were drowned . ] FsiGniFui . Accident aud Loss of Life at Buokwael . —On Wednesday evenine , shortly before seven o ' clock , thu inhabitants of Black wail were sudienly thrown into ' a state of the greatest alarm , bv a very distressing accident which took place on the premises of Messrs . Mare and Co ., the extensive engineers and steam-boiler manufacturers , which resulted in the loss of the life of . one man , named
John Gariick , aad severe injury to about twelve other workmen . The men had completed the moulding for a large railway turn-table , when directions were given to prepare the metal / twelve tons of which . were put into the furnace and heated until ' it" became in a liquid state , at which time thirty of the men' let the molten iron run into an immense ladle , which was suspended in the usual manner from a powerful crane . The ponderous mass of liquid melted was nearly ready to be deposited in the mould , when-some portion of the leverage snapped , and the ladle upset , throwing the boiling liquid over the men , and ciusing the most fearful alarm around the factory , as the metal forced its way in every direction . Several of tho men escaped in a remarkable manner , but the deceased ( Gariick ) was covered by the hot metal ,, and was literally scalded to death .
Wakefield . —Election RioT .--On Wednesday evening last , during the perambulations of the Liberal and Tory bands , a riot occurred , which at one time it wasfe & red might have led fearful const quences .

„ Tsb Baulk Of Tub Bees.—A. Curious Circ...
„ Tsb Baulk of tub Bees . —A . curious circumstance occurred a few days back at Guilleville , Eure-et-Loire . A small farmer had in a field about 250 beehives , containing a vast number of bees . He sent a man with a cart , drawn by five horses , to remove somo earth from the wall near which the hives were placed . The carter having occasion fo go to the farm house , tied the horses to a tree . Almost immediately after a multitude of bees , either irritated at the shaking of their hives by the removal of the earth from the wall , or excited by the electricity with which . the at mospbere happened to be charged , issued from their hives , as if in obedience to a given signal , and with great fury attacked ihe horses . In an instant the poor animals were entirely covered with bees from head to foot : even their
nostrils were filled with them . When the carter returned he found one of the horses lying dead on the ground , and the others rolling about furiously . His cries attracted several persons ; one of them attempted to drive away the bees , but they attacked him , and he had to plunge into a pond , and even to place his head under water for a few seconds , in order to escape from them . The cure of Guilleville alao attempted to approach the horses , but he too was put to flight by the enraged insects . At length two engines were sent for , and by pumping on the bees a great number were killed on the horses , or put to flight . The horses , however , were so much injured that they died in an hour . The value of the bees destroyed was l , 500 f ., and of the horses 2 , 500 f . A few days before bees from the same hives killed seventeen goslings .
A VAy & iDAiz Ddmbh'Vsdbbbd . —There is nothing so easy ( says the " Weekly News . " ) as framing questions for Parliamentary candidates which cannot be answered by a direct affirmative-or a direct negative , and then , because neither the one nor the other is given , to impeach the straightforwardness of tbe person questioned . Mr . Clay , the candidate for Hull , gave a case in point the other day . A man of unblemished character was a " candidate in a large constituency , and the following means were used to get rid of him : —At a large meeting an elector got up and said , " I demand the exercise of my right to ask that candidate a question . Will he answer me by a direct'yes' or ' no , ' like an honest man ? " " Undoubtedly I will . " A most in cautious promise , as the reader will see . " Well , then , " said the elector , " I ask that gentleman who killed his
washerwoman ? " What was tbe poor man to say ? What " yes" or what" no" could answer the question ? He hesitated ; he stammered . ; the meeting was against him ; he was hustled out of the town ; " and to this day , " said Mr . Clay , " he labour * , I fear , under the grave imputation of having feloniously accelerated the demise of some unfortunate and perhaps ill-used-washerwoman . " ( Bursts of laughter . } s . Dheadfol Tbagedt . —Dbstfkiks , July 3 . —There was an awful and double crime committed here this morning . A kd named Rain , " a" baker , and a . servapfcfgfrl named Johnston , whom he had been courting for some time , attended a wedding party , where the girl excited her lover's jealousy by some fancied slight , and , encouragements aftorded by her to a rival . . The party w « n ' t on till an early hour this morning , and it is thought that tbe lad bad not gone to bed at all , bub must have been nursing bis wrath
till be wrought up his passions to . commit the fearful havoc which I have now to record . At nine o'clock this morning he repaired to the house of the lassie ' s master , iu Highstreet , and , after a few angry words , drew a razor which he had coCcealed on his person , and inflicted some terrible wounds about the girl ' s neck ; Thinking that he had killed her , he then cut his own throat with such determination as to destroy life atao .-t immediately . The attack was so sudden that , before the alarm of the girl ' s cries , the deed had been perpetrated . She , though seriously injured , will , it is expected , yet recover . The street where the scene occurred has been thronged all day with an excited idle crowd , especially of women and children , whom it is pitiful to see with such a craving appetite for the horrible , talking over the details , and peering into the doors and windows of the girl ' s residence . ¦ " > .-

THE BBABFOBD DOMINATION . TO THE READERS OF THE STAR OF" FREEDOM . Friends , —Although it is not true , as set forth in the above report , that the Tory candidate , Wickham , had a show of hands larger than that exhibited for me it is true that I lost the show of hands . It may be well to give a few words of explanation . Some weeks ago I received a letter inviting mo to ' stand' for Bradford . It was at the time the ' Star of Freedom' was commencing , and not seeing that I could leave London without great inconvenience , I declined the honour .
Weeks passed away , when about the latter end of last week I received another letter from Bradford , soliciting my attendance at tbe Nomination . I would rather have declined . But as I had for months past been urging tho Democratic party to assert its principles on tbe Hustings , I felt it would ill-become me to shrink from a duty 1 had urged upon others . Additional letters decided compliance with the wishes of my friends . Those letters reached my hands only on Monday , July 5 tb , athalf . past nine o ' clock in the morning . At half-past ten I left Eustou-square Terminus for Bradford ; and arrived at my destination at eight o ' clock in the evening .
An open-air meeting had been called , but at an out-of-the-way place , in a part of Bradford calulated have not tbe least effect upon tho population at large . By the unanimous vote of that meeting I was committed to take my stand the following day as ' Chartist candidate . ' I was nominated by Mr , Huston , Town Councillor , and Mr . Cook , bookseller . It was evident that two-thirds of the Assembl y had had no previous , knowledge of my candidature , and were altogether taken by surprise ..
I spoke at length . I was well received by the great body of the people ; and was-respectfully listened to by both parties—Liberal and Tory—on the hustings ; I acted neither on the ' smashing' nor the ' compromisa' policy , but on that-of- democratic independence of both parties . It is not true tbat that which-1 said respecting Free Trade , machinery , and unregulated cotnpeti .
tion , was 'at once and spontaneously contradicted by the great mass of people present . ' Too certain of my remarks some over zealous Free Traders cried No ! No ! ' To which a large -number of "Woolcombers and others in the body of the- assembly answered 'Yes I yes ! ' This is the simple-truth . I lost the show of hands , a fast easy to account for . I had issued no address to the electors . '
My friends had not announced me as a candidate . Entering the town only the evening previously , there was no time to arouse- the people , no time to enlighten them , no time to prepare them to take a a worthy part at the Nomination . The people were already exhausted when I commenced to address them * I therefore had no fair chance of thoroughly enlightening and arousing them there and them . Nevertheless , I had the suffrages of all those who remained faithful to pure Democracy .
Before the show of hands could be taken for me the great mass of the People had voted for Colonel . Thompson , and the majority for Mr . Milligan ; and ) to make matters worse , on coming to my name the Mayor—who otherwise acted with the most perfect ? propriety and courtesy—observed that 'he understood . Mr . Harney was not goimr to' the poll ; still , as he had been nominated , it was his ( tbe Mayor ' s ) . duty . tr > call for a show of bands . ' The effect of these words will be understood . Numbers , within the hearing of my friends , immediately remarked , ' There ' s no use holding up hands for him , as he ' s not going to tlie poll . ' Accordingly ,. they did not . hold up their hands .
If I had done as every man should do so situated issued an Address to the Electors , and Non-Electors , spent at least , a week in Bradford , addressing meetings in various parts of the town , elucidating questions in principle and detail , which it is not possible to adequately treat of on the day of Nomination , if I had had a well-arranged committee , and acted as though I fully intended to go to the poll ^ it is certain I would have earned the show of hands .
As it is , I regret not my visit to Bradford . At some sacrifice I did my duty ; and failing , I failed with honour . Infinitely preferable to gaining a victory , by dishonourable means , or being guilty of a sneaking desertion of Duty . The rejection of Colonel Thompsoa . by the electors will do g ood . Although I have nothing in common with the Colonel , I am bound to say that his rejection ia the triumph of bigotry , and local influence ,
over intellect and life-long consistency . I purpose to be in [ Bradford again . within two or three weeks , and I do not despair that I shall be able to lay the foundation of such a democratic power in that town , as will restore its ancient reputation , and enable the democracy at the next election—come when it may—to command supremacy at the hustings , and contest victory at the poll . Our motto being : — ' No union—no compromise with either faction —But Labour ' s Rights , Democratic and Social . ' G . JULIAN HARNEY . London , July 9 , 1852 .
Muhdeit And Robbbrt.—Considerable Conste...
MuHDEit and Robbbrt . —Considerable consternation was created on Sunday morning at Birkenhead , by a report that an English sailor bad been murdered by a band of desperadoes who infest the neighbourhood of Oak-street , at the north end of the town . On inquiry , it was ascertained that , at a little after midnight , a pairty Of women near Oak-street ' were alarmed at seeing five or six men attack a man in the garb of a sailor , who was heard to cry outtoraaawtance . They knocked him down and kicked him about the head and stomach , while some of the party rifled his pockets . He was heard to cry out , " Don't , kill
me , and you shall hare what I have got ; but the villains continued to abu ? e him till le was insensible , and they then decaoired . Bradshaw , one of the police , attracted by the women ' s cries , went to the spot and found the man dead ; The women had noticed that the ' sailor was quite sober , and had not-done anything to ' ' -provoke a quarrel with the men , The deceased was one of urn crew of the George , which arrived at Birkenhead afew- days ago with a cargo of timber , and is now ibdoclpfor-the purpose of discharging .

• Thecorrespondence—which was very extensive—i consisted chiefly , of letSers from other mining districts—Ivvncaslnre , Yorkshire ,. and Scotland—and from various gentlemen , relative to the present parliamentary inquiry into the cause of explosions and other accidents in coal mines , some of which detailed the exertions now being taado to adopt practical measures for preventing suchUlisastrous and extensive loss of life , notably the communications of Mr . J . Mather , of South Shields , and ,- Mr . William Cooper , of London .. The delegate ? then took up tjie case of Benjamin Embleton , a veteran , who has fough ' t for the Miners more than forty years-, and who « is now nearly desti ' . ute of any means of subsistence . A revolution was adopted to lay hiscuae before the various collieries , with the view of obtaining n subscription to enablr'him to publish a record of his life , which he is now writing , and to otherwise assist so worthy a character . AH subscriptions and donations to be sent to M . Jade , Newcastle , or paid over to Benjamin Eaibleton himself ;' , whe ? e convenient .
The Uaswell Colliery delegate then called attention- to the infamous conduct of J . Aaiour , who had been attempting to sow discord among the men of that colliery . Tho Secretary was instructed to write to Amour and apprise him of the unfounded nature of the statements he had
made ; -. The case of the workmen , charged with rioting afc-tho Borrington Colliery , was then entered into , and the Secretary having given a detailed account of the great and-important question raised by tho defendant' * counsel and solicitor , V ? . P . Roberts , at the trial , regarding the ri ght of the masters to eject the workmen from the houses on so short anotico , and which , in this instance , was the cause of the riot , it was agreed that the Secretary write to each colliery on the necessity of a collection being made to repay the debt due upon the extra exertions made to save the parties-from going to prison . It was-resolved ;— " That the subject of holding a puMic general meeting of Miners ' -on Shadows ( famed ) HtH , on Saturday , Jluly 31 st , be laid before the colliers , nnd that the votes for and against the same be sent to the Secretary ou or before the 17 th insfc . " " That the contributions to the general fund be three , halfpence per month , and that the same stand for three months , unless altered by a general delegate meeting . !"
The- whole of the business before the delegates having heen gone through , the Chairman dissolved the meeting ; the delegates pledging themselves to use their best endeavours to uphold the rights of labour against the encroachmeats of capital . M . Judb , Secretary .
National Prosperity. 10 Thb Editor Op Th...
NATIONAL PROSPERITY . 10 THB EDITOR OP THE STAR OP FREEDOM . Ssr , —In all ages of the world the weak have , to a * greater or less extent , been oppressed by the strong ; and pernaps nothing short of the practical adoption , and a life guided by the noble and-generous principles of Christianity , can destroy the causes of oppression . Oppression , whatever form iff assumes , is the natural offspring of injustice . It will be found as a rule that those who complain of the tyranny of others are , in their own sphere of life , when they can exercise any power , as tyrannical to those dependent upon them—nay , infinitely more so —than those of whom they publicly complain .
The follies of this class of men minister to the aggrandisement of others . They build those gaudy palaces , or hells of infamy , which rear their deceptive beads , and strike the eye with their superficial splendour . The internal and external attractions of those splendid gin palaces , found in every , town in the kingdom , are the places where the foolish among the working classes deposit their liberty , . and leave them the veriest slaves . They are buffeted and insulted by others , and deservedly so ; for what a man sows he shall also reap , Follow such wen home , and there , instead of finding them the fostering parents of happy families , you find them , absolute tyrants over dependent weakness . Tyranny-will always exist
so-long as men brutally barter , their liberty For a draught of fire-water , instead of ? making use of it for the ' proper education and development of those interesting beings ,, who may live ., either to bless or curse the author of their existenaa , according as the precept and example of their parents have formed their characters . So long as these practices are tolerated by Democrats , their principles will continually be scandalised . Democracy-being an universal principle opens its portals to all ; and ,, as a consequence , the difficulty to prevent bad and- vicious agents from taking prominent positions , ia the movement is so much the greater ; where vice is there you see an agent of tyranny , whether- ia the person-of a Democrat or an Aristocrat .
A season of prosperity is dawning upon these realms ; but it will be no prosperity to ' fool » . Though they may realise increased reaources with less labour , their vicious appetites will absorb all .. Prosperity to such is a curse instead of a blessing ; . yet , all opposing principles to prosperity should he removed , in order that the evil generated by vicious habits should become so intolerable that all the good and wise might be induced to unite for the destruction of those institutions which generate vice . The sober thinking and experienced Democrats will take advantage of the coming prosperity , and turn it to good account . Tbey will increase , both their material and intellectual strength , and thus establish a position as a party respectable in its character , and not to be coolly slUhlad
by their opponents . The principles of Democracy being the principles of self-government , and wherever , or by whomsoever expressed , if the exponent have them not in himself , so ai wisely to govern himself and his own family , hit profession is vain , and can do no good to the cause of freedom , There are some parties who contend , and from statistics endeavour tt > prove , tbat we are sinking as a nation . I htve . no faith in such reasoning ,- believing that statistics can be made to say anything . On general grounds it may be safely affirmed that never , in the history of our country , wera the elements of prosperity in greater abundance than' at present . Our agricultural prospects are splendid , the fruits of the earth' are likely to be abundant , amTtheir price moderate . The effects of a repeal of that
odious tax on the people ' s food are . visible on every band . Take a view of the people when promiscuously assembled in large numbers , and degree of contentment is observable on their countenance 'J -vbic ' i is striking , when contrasted with tbe years of political agitation created by empty stomachs . The improvement caused by free trade in corn is evident to all , and this state of thing * will continue to improve . Tbe lethargy ever the result of protection , is being destroyed amongst the farmers ; . they are stimulated to increased exertion and a more abundant application of capital in the cultivation of the soil , which will enable them to aell their productions in their own market at a cheaper rate than the foreigners can afford ' ,, so that ultimately we shall not import corn into this country but what may be required to
lupply any deficiency of home produce " arising from unfavouraMe seasons , While , at the same ' time , the farmers are compelled to do this , they will gjso be under the necessity o ! becoming more intelli gent in relation to laws which really govern the value of their productions ; they will find tbat restrictions , produced by tbe system of indirect taxation , prevent the full development of the ^ ctwsuming powers of their own customers—they will see tbW the duty on tea is bo outrageously large that it interferes to a very considerable extent with our trade with China ; and were the duty repealed . the trade with ; that country might probably be quadrhplad ; which would produce a great improvement , to
all engaged in commercial pursuits . And these being his customers , would be placed in a much more favourable position to pay higher prices . In feet , the hrmeia veil become financial Reformers , which is importan 1 , as all our politics are based on the principle of finance , both in relation to governors and governed . There is another element of prosperity which may be considered as purely accidental , but will probably produce great changes in the civilised worldviz ., the gold deposits of Australia and California . On some future occasion , I may , with your permission , furnish your readers with my thought * oa this subject . Union Street , Halifax , John Citlpan , Jan . June 29 tb , 1852 . .

SLBBP . —Men sleep during periods of excessive excitement-felona rest quietly before they suffer-Indians , in the intervals of torture , have slumbered at the stake . " With me ( says the author of 'My life' ) sleep felt soft on tho hardest bed ; and I do not remember to have ever enjoyed a deeper repose than when I stretched myself beneath a walnut tree after the fight of Quatre Brae ; or , when harassed and hungry , at the retreat of Mont St .
