      Sir Gsorob Strickland akd the Factories ' . Act . —The following letter has been received from Sir George in answer to a note from the Rev . G . S . Bull , « drawing his attention to the Bill now pending before Parliament London , May 6 th , 1838 . Sir , —Incessant occupation must be my ' excuse for not having returned to yonr letter an earlier answer . I have read it with attention , and I agree with many of yont views . I am not at present well aware how the Bill before Parliament will operate as an improvement of die easting law , to which I never was favourable ; considering it to be too

      complicated and too inexplicit ever to work well , aofer as thepresentlaw has had the effect of introducing a relay system , it may have afforded relief to young children . I quite agree with you that to a jonng person whe has worked twelve hours a day , afl attempts at education must be absurd , arid I Effll think that a more simple enactment , upon the principle at least of the Ten Hours'Bill , would be TOMdnctive of more good . Young children ought , however , to be the first objects of attention , and if a Tea Hours * Act would be for their advantage , rarely aa Eight Hours' Act , if really and trulycarued into effect would afford them still greater relief I remain ,

Rev . J . Charaock , Incumbent , iii the chair , -who conducted himself very honourabl y . But three of the respectables" ( as they eali themselves ) made use of all manner of abusive and obscene language , inasmuch that it was moved and seconded that one of them , who was a constable , should be taken to the lockup ; but in consequence of there being no other eon < table but himself present , the motion was

      not put from the chair . Two wardens were elected ; ' who did not meet the approbation of some of the " respectable , "one of whom said , that , the " non- ' respectables" had no right to vote ; but on being told that every rate-payer ias a right to vote , another objection was made-by the " respectables" to the above two wardens , on the ground that they are incapable of keeping the church in good repair . — Well , says one of the " nonrespectables , " they will 1 » able to keep the church in as good repair as it has hitherto been kejit : especially if they bring ia such bills as you brought in for certain repairs ( not here named ) . " 01 bring thee before thee betters

      for that , " says a u respectable . " Very well , answered a " nonrespectable , " I have plenty of witnesses . "Respectable : " •« O'l bet te what te likes on ' t . " A voieein the meeting : We are notcwne here to bet wagers . -Rate-payers of Heptonstall , come forward ani preelaimyour rights , and « bsuo longer defrauded bj those who call themselves 11 respectables , " who , by extravagance and want of judgment , spend a great part of your money themselves for no good purpose whatever .

      help to liberate the . Negro apprentices . " Mr . John Ambler , an oldslunt'tfme ^ cominittee man , who was " present , just remarked . that Mr . Bentley had made a slight mistakej that the factory question certainly was anything but " settled , " as Mr . Bentley and Ms friends would perhaps shortly find out ; bnt that the operatives were quite ready " to help all sincere advocates of Negro freedonij to get emancipation for the blacks , without . the . co » jpen « aft " o » , which Mr .

      "WAKElFlEtD YOUNG Mb »' S LITERA . &Y " Debatinp Society . —We are pleased to perceive that this institution continues flourishing , For some time given subjecte for discussion weft the order of the thrir ; but at present , essays are read , and controversial questions . are discussed alternately . Recently , a very elaborate and- talented essay on " Geology" wa 3 read by T&r . "Walker , which was practically illustrated by fossil remains , specimens of strata , stratified shells , &i :. The essayist demonstrated , in the most intelligible way ,-the various depositions of the strata , the utility of the science , and its close alliance to natural history , &c , &e . The audience appeared extremely gratified , and , at the conclusion of the lecture : a vote of thanks was -

      proposed for the lecturer , which was carried with the greatest acclamation . The room was literally crammed to suffocation . On "Wednesday week a Tery pleasing and instructive essay on « ' The Advantages of Scientific Pursuits , " was delivered by Mr . Cutfirth , to a numerous and attentive audience after which an interesting discussion took place on the prominent advantages of science , &c . After a vote of thanks to the essayist , the meeting broke up . Alverthorpe Poor House . —This asylum for the necessitous , which for a number of years has saluted the eyes of every one on his entrance into the village , from Wakefield , who was capable of beholding it , during this week received its final

      Wow , and stands now only as a mwmment of the kindly feelings that once existed in the bosoms of the more fortunate of mortals towards the helpless and houseless of their species . On Wednesday the furniture and other moveable goods and chattels belonging to the establishment , were sold by auction . The breakingnp of this place has cast a kind of gloom over the village . Every inhabitant looks upon this occurrence with feelings expressive of sorrow , while words of disapprobation of the new system are indeed not a few . It has roused the working men , - who consider it as an nnjust and unwarrantable encroachment on , and usurpation of their rights . Truth might as well be spoken out ; they seem rifetomanifestwho are thepowersthat be :

      ine enforcing of the New Poor Law against the wishes of the people , has verily laid the axe to the root of the existing method of governing , and although it be as stubborn as the oak , it nrast at length yield to the repeated blows that most assuredly will be levelled at it . The law makers have laid hold of the hives , aad have brought the working bees about their 'ears , and we congratulate them on their c-ompany . Oratorio at Ossett . —We understand that it is intended to have an oratorio of the first rate at t ) ssett , -on Trinity Monday , the 11 th of June next , the proceeds to be applied towards h ' amdatW

      tbe debt upon the Towns' Free School which has recently been taken down and rebuilt . "When it is known that the best talent in the country both vomia- and instrumental is engaged , we are sure that the lovers of music and all who are charitably disposed will have a double gratification-in being present at the performance , viz . they will have a rich musical treat , and the satisfaction of lowing that the proceeds will he judiciously a ? plied m teaching to read , and write , a number of the poorest children in the townshi p .

IlliBgwortbj boot and shoemaker , at the bottom of Ratten-row , was on Sre , and hundreds - » f persons were immediately assembled . A thick volurte of smoke arising apparently from the

      roof , served not at all to dissipate their fears . Posthorses were dispatched for . the Leeds and 'Yorkshire Company's engines , out of Pineheon-street , which in an almost incredible space of time were seen turning the corner of Khkgate at a railway speed . Mr . Mmgworth ran to inform that their services couldbe < dispensed with ,-butthey heeded : him notbut pressed on to the seeue -of conflagration , when an assurance that it was-only a chimney that was en fire , and that they would get nothing for their labour , ^ eemed to put a damper on their zeal . Another , engine from the ^ police--office was ^ also . iav-afe tendance ; While we rejoice " that the danger did not correspond with ; the alarm-given , we must say that the-celerity with which the-engines were-biought to the spot'isdeserving of great-praise . -

Defendant : Qhi I ouly thoughtjf ' oa were going to put me to a bit . of trouble to seek a pound-note up for you . Defendant then paid thejnoney .

Turton said that her agreement with Milner for his son was to be £ 4 . 10 s ., and if he was a good boy she would make it better by giving him tbe cast off clothes of her son , who is about the name size , which she had done , having giren him a shirt , a pair of stockings , and a coat- "Yea , " said Milner , " and I have got them valued by a respectable tailor , and he values the coat at 2 s . 6 d ., the stockings at 6 d ., and the shirt at 2 £ d .

      KEIGHLEY . Election of Chief Constable . —Strange PnOCEEOISOS AT THE COURT LEET , SkiPTOS . —Oil Monuay the 26 th of March last , a vestry meeting was held , when Mr . Thomas Spencer , druggist , was appeiuted constable without opposition . Ou Saturday last , that gentleman presented himself at this Court Leet , Skipton , to be sworn into office , accom panied by Mr .. J . Firth , Mr . J . Bedford , Mr . J / B . Aked , and Mr . R . Stowell . After the Jury ' had been sworn , Mr . Hallcock , Clerk of tlie-Couct , addressed them at considerable Jength on the uatnre of the cases which would be brought before tlusnv , and on their duties as Jurymen ; charging them paN ticularly neither to let party , wealth , nor respecta- * bility , bias or influence their judements . Alter the

      other cases had been disposedof , and Keighley called on , Mr . Proctor Hall , solicitor , rose to propose Mr . Joseph Craven and Mr . Edmund Laycock . as fit and proper persons to fill the ofh" ce of constables for the ensuing year . Mr . J . B . Aked then rose to move that Mr . Thomas Spencer be the constable for the ensuing year ; afteT which Mr . Hall addressed the Court , observing that Mr . Spencer , along with Mr . Ramsden , another gentleman , had been constables ot Keighley , and during that time this same Spencer s conduct had been of such a nature , that the people of Keighley were literally disgusted " with it . He then commenced one of the most shameful attacks oirtbe character of Mr . Spencer , we remember ever to haws heard , although that . gentleman is a man of the highest respectability aiidhonour . " But wuuicontinues

      , i « r . Hal ] , " makes -Mr . Spencer ' s case shll woree , he has the audacit y to appear again in Court , although his accounts have never been published . " Here Mr . Spencer observed ilint he Had withbeH . publishiug his accounts in accordance with the will of the vestry whose servant lie sjas and that those gentlemen who now came forward to oppose him , had never once thought proper to coine lorward , for reasons best known to themselves , to oppose this mode of proceeding . Mr . Hall , in continuatiou , said that Mr . Smith and Mr . Craven hs . d been constables for the last year . ; Mr . Smith having deebned 4 o accept office again , they had prevailed upon Mr . Laycock to stand in his stead . The reason tbdse seiitlemen had notbeen elected by the vestry was this : —The vestry meetings of Keigblev

      were sucn as no gentlera . au would disgrace himself by attending . ; being conducted in a most disorderly manner ,-and composed for « the most part of the lowest rabble m the town ; a-sample of which thev might behold in the persons-before them , iurnhL round-mi , pointing to Mv . ^ Speucer andldsfriemk Mr . Hall proceeded at great length in the same strain , alternately blackguarding air . Spencer and the vestry meetings , and concluded by sayiu , "hut Air . Chairman and Gentlemen of the Jury , on the other hand , the gentlemen whom I have Ihe honourto propose , are men of the highest respectability and honour . ; and to prove to you that it is the wish of the people of Keighley that they should be elected , and not . Mr .. Spencer , I have a petition to present to this Court , signed by nearly all the influential genucmai oi tow

      -cue n , mciuumg me wnr magistrates , praying forthfiir election . " Mr . Hall having pre ? sewed Oie petition to ? he . Court , sat down . Mr . i B . AEed . nrgedthelegafity of the festry mee ^ n ^ produced . the . Parish-book , toshow thatthe appointment of . Mr . Spencer waaduly entered ;; '' He likewise proved . the illegality of . the proceedings of the opposite party ,. who came to . be gworn in witiwut benig elected by the vestry meeting , " and even without th knowledge of the householders of Keighlsy . ' Mr Aked here produced the . Vestry Order Book , which Mr . Hallcock having examined , exclaimed " Certainly , there is . a resolution reported to have been passed at a vestry meeting ,. and signed by one Joseph birth , ChaiEnan . Whois-this Joseph Firth ? " Mr J . Firth , who is a respectable fannerand one of the

      , churchwardens , then rose-and said , " Mr . Chairman and Gentlemen of the Jury-: ! am Jeseph Firth , one ol the sainple so eloquently described by Mr . Hall , and chairman of , the vestry . meeting at which Mr Spencer was duly elected constable for the town of Keighley . . Mr . Firth then . proceeded to inflict a severe castigation oh Mr . Hall , for his insolence * and concluded b y appealing . to the good sense and honour of theJury for an impartial verdict . Mr . J . Uedford likewise , lashed with merited severity the conduct of the . opposite narty ,. in their mean attempt tosubstitutemightfornght -Afterwhich , Mr . Hallcock proceeded to charge the . Jury ; and though that gentleman , in his ooening . address , had warned the Jury notto pander eitherto wealth or respectability ,

      yei . Dy me irequenl references which he made to the " petition , it was evident that he did all in his power to influence them in their . verdict ! : he argued long Shdi as he thought , etog . uently .,, on the privileges , ag 6 , &c of the Court of which he had thefionour to be Clerk'i and contended thatthe Court had the power to elect whom they pleased , The Jury , were then ordered to lay theirheadstogetler , when on&ef them whispered to Mr . Hall , who had been sitting by themdurine nearly the whole of the trial . That gentleman then said , "The Jury has decided in . lavonr of Messrs Craven and Laycock- " Foreman .: We decide in favour of the magistrates . Mx . flallcock : Then you mean to say that you decide in favour of the persons recommended by the magistrates . Foreman- Yes . On Mr . Spencer and his friends leaviiie

      tne Court , Mr . Spencer observed , " Well , Mr . Hallcock , ihis shall be tried at a higher Court . " Mr . Hancock ( in a contemptuous tone ) , " You have threatened that before ; you may try it . "—This is anotherinstance of the deepJaid plan * of villany so often resorted to by the privileged few in order to gain ; their £ nds . Here is a set of men . electing in direct opposition to all law , equity , and justice , two men , to one of whom Mr . Firth , at a rescry meeting fceld notloag ago , emphatically said , " You are like a mere automaton wandering np and down the streets , withoat any one noticing you . " The means employed in ihis nefarious transaction are as detestable as the ends gained . What can" we think of such a man as the sapient expounder of the law , who played « uca a conspicuous nart in the fore ' emtur

      farce , and who aspires to the respectable character wj gentleman j branding , as he did , with jBeing leaders of the rabble , men who are of infinitel y more use to society , and who stand immensely higher in the estimation of the people of Keighley than he does . As for Mr . Hallcock , litfle needs be said of him : the fact of his having warned the Jury at the commencement of the trial , to let neither party influence nor wealth deter them from giving an impartial verdict , and then in a few hours afterwards using all his influence , both directly and indirectly , to prejudice the minds of the same Jury against Mr . Spencer , speaks volumes for his character . As regards the Court of Skipton , ve have only to say , in the words of the immortal poet , " Thou hast lived too long !"

New Jerusalem Chapei .. —On Sunday , the 29 ' tfc nit ., two excellent discourses were delivered in the

      New Jerusalem Chapel , Erabsay , by the Rev . J : Bayley , from Accrington . The first was on " The " fall ol man . " The preacher on thisoccasion powerfmly and eloquently described the disorders and convulsions ol outward nature , as also the miseries to which mankind are liable ; showing that they could be referable to no other cause , thau to iv moral or spiritual dppravity existing in the ' inintls ' of men . The attention of the audience was then directed to the fall , as described in Genesis , and thft spiritual interpretation of the divine record ; this , and the manner in which the speaker bandied the much agitated question of the origin of evil , show--ingite perfect compatibility with the divine attri ' uutesofwiBdom and goodness , and the true nature of man as a moral aud accountable agent , must , we

      think , have been extremely gratifying . The Second discourse was on " Heaven and hell , and the : origin ' of angels and devils . " In this discourse , the Rev . gentleman , in the first place , endeavoured to show , on scriptural grounds , that Heaven was a place and a state ofindescribable happiness ! , the renultof order , uealth , and activityoHbe soul , producing tbe most symmetrical beauty and grandeur without , or to the external appearance-of the angels , the internal P 5 , . lple * of goodness and wisdom going forth into outward activities of mutual usefulness one towards another , and at the same time aiding and assisting man * to •• . -.

In the course of the lecture , he took occasion to rebut the suiyaad groundless notion entertained by the opponents ot the new church ; a calumny so ' widely circulatedagainatthem , whichisi , tbatinan 6 therworla ^• "tfcfe same calling , trade , or oS » H ! ll l did n this i ' > t « defcalli » g , or 'SSrStt 1 1 - ^ ™??
